Recollection of past and Arrival on new planet
My name is Red, I am writing this from my ship as I am traveling through space searching for the next planet I
I walk into the town and immediately the Ponies stare at me I only glance back at them with a look that only slightly intimidated most of them, then I heard a high pitched voice from behind me
"Hey mister! what are you?" I turn around to answer but don't see anyone
"Down here dude." the voice says and I look down seeing a very small Pony that had an orange coat with purple mane and tail it also had wings that seemed to not be fully developed so this pony was likely a filly I kneel down onto a knee to look at her
"I'm a member of a race of fighters called Saiyans, my name's Red, who may I ask are you?" I ask motioning to the little filly.
"My name's Scootaloo!" she replied with a smile I figured that Scootaloo was a girl given her high pitched voice but I wasn't too sure until now. I pet her head replying
"Nice to meet you then Kid"
I tell her before noticing a taller Pony that was Pink with a fluffy Mane and tail that looked like Cotton Candy trot up to us I stand up and ask
"Uhh can I help you?" then to my surprise the Pink Pony's smile dissappeared into a huge gasp of air and she jumps in the air and takes off in the opposite direction at speeds that Sonic or Shadow the Hedgehog would be jealous of.
"Well that was ... Odd." I say to myself as I notice a purple Unicorn come up to me, with a black mane and tail that was straight with a red stripe in them, she had a mark on her flank of a six pointed star this caught my attention the most as Scootaloo didn't have one, and the Pink Pony seemed to have a mark of three baloons from what I could see before she took off the Unicorn spoke to me
"Hi there, who are you stranger?" I smile and reply
"My name is Red, and I'm a Saiyan, which is a race of elite fighters" she beamed of excitement in her face with a huge smile
"Wow, I always knew there were other races in the universe other than us here in Equestria" she says
"Equestria?" I ask
"Is that the name of this planet?" She nods and replies
"Yes it is Red. and your in the town of Ponyville" I nod thanking her for that answer and then I point at the mark on her flank
"One question other than who you are, what is that mark on your flank?" I ask her she replies seeming to do a face palm with one of her forelegs
"Oh Celestia how could I be so stupid, My name is Twilight Sparkle, and the mark is my Cutie Mark, mine shows a six pointed star to represent my expertise with magic" she responds I put my right hand to my chin
"Hmm interesting" I say interested in the Magic she referred too.
"Thanks, well I have a special power other than my being able to manipulate energy because of my training" I say to her. Her ears perked up and she looked at me
"Manipulating energy? You have a special power? What do you mean? I don't understand what you mean by those?" I chuckle
"Well I can show you later if you'd like" I say to which she nods and asks if I'd like to come with her to her home to learn more about the planet
"Hmm thanks, but I think I'll pass, I may drop by some time later, where is your home?" I ask her
"It's that large tree over there!" she says motioning toward the tree with a telescope and balconys.
"Wow, nice place Twilight" I say to her before sensing a fair power coming from above us
"Whoa what the heck?" I ask turning and looking to the sky
"What's wrong?" she ask seeing me look to the sky with Scootaloo also asking the same thing
"I just sensed a fair power coming this way from the air" I say looking around then I here a voice cry out telling where the power was coming from
"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA LOOK OUT BELOW!!!" it cried out I immediately reached out and caught the owner of the voice a Pegasus with Cyan coat and feathers with a rainbow mane and tail and another Pegasus with blonde mane and tail and a grey colored coat the first Pegasus's cutie mark was a cloud with a rainbow colored lightning bolt, the second Pegasus's cutie mark was some bubbles, she also had crossed eyes I set them down on the ground with both of them thanking me for catching them with the cross-eyed one flying off, the Rainbow one introduced herself
"My name is Rainbow Dash and I'm the fastest flier in Equestria, I was working on a new trick before Derpy Hooves there ran into me causing us to come down to you." she explained
"Nice to meet you Rainbow I'm Red" I respond introducing myself
"Well if I'm going to be staying here in Ponyville I guess I should be on my way to find some place" I say to them waving and walking off away from them
I run into a beautiful Unicorn Pony with a white coat and a purple mane and tail that was curled up her cutie mark was of three jewels
"Hello there Princess" I say bowing to her believing her to be a princess because of her beauty.
"Oh my thank you darling, but I'm no princess, My name is Rarity, who are you my fine gentlemen? or for that matter WHAT are you?" she responds I facepalm realizing I was being just as stupid as Twilight was earlier and reply
"My name is Red miss Rarity, and I am a member of a race of elite fighters called Saiyans" I tell her to which she responds "well do you have anyplace to stay here?" I shake my head and reply
"Unfortunately no I don't I just landed here today and I was hoping I could find a place to stay." She brought her hoof to her mouth and replied
"Oh no no no, that just will not do, you can stay with me!" she said to me before going back toward her home motioning for me to follow her which I did we arrived at a large house that looked like it was a carousel covered in aprons, and linens like a boutique which ironically enough was the name of her home and business which she told me as we entered
"I'm a dress-maker as you may say, I'm the one who creates alot of the various dresses or clothes that the ponies here wear alot" I look around seeing various mannequins that were shaped like Ponies some with linens on it as if they were works in progress some completed and some bare I saw a large couch in the room and decided to lay down there she saw and tried to stop me
"Oh no no, darling I wouldn't allow you to sleep on my couch you can sleep in my bed and I'll sleep on the couch." I waved my hand and shook my head
"No it's alright, your much too beautiful to be sleeping in this couch no matter how beautiful and comfy your bed may be. This couch will be fine for me, just get me about 2 pillows and a blanket or quilt and I'll be fine." I reply much to her dismay
"Oh very well then" she said levitaiting two very fluffed pillows and a large blanket big enough to cover me over to the couch setting the pillows under my head and putting the blanket over me I then ask after she finished
"Uhh how did you do that?" wondering how she did that noticing her horn glowing with a blue aura like the blanket and pillows she levitated, she replied
"Oh that was Magic dear, all Unicorns can use magic just some unicorns are better or use it for different things" she replied with a smile.
"So that's the Magic that Twilight was referring too, interesting" I reply starting to get sleepy because of how soft the pillows were and how comfy the couch was, I take off my armor and armbands before I forget and set them aside before I get too sleepy to do it.
"Thanks Rarity" I respond to her as I drifted off to sleep
"Good night" I say as I close my eyes falling asleep.
"Your welcome, and good night Red, I'll see you in the morning" she replies before trotting up to her own bed and going to sleep. This was how my arrival and first day in this new planet Equestria which I hope to make my new home planet went. Tomorrow starts Day 2. I close my notebook having recorded the events of the day and a recap of my leaving the Planet Vegeta and Earth. I set it next to my armor and armbands and I fall asleep.
I woke up early to get in some training and after getting out of the couch I neatly set the blanket and pillows back on the couch I then looked for a nice open spot to stretch out I find a nice spot and stretch out then I notice one of Rarity's bare mannequins next to me and I set it on my back for some extra weight, it provided a fair amount of weight for me for the moment.
I began to steadily push myself up from the ground and count to myself as I push myself up
"One...two...three...four...five" I count to myself as I do push ups with the mannequin on my back as it steadily moves up and down with me. I hear a bell ring and the door open nearby a short while after I started.
"Excuse me Rarity, are you available? I wanted to talk to you about something." A voice calls out but the voice was very quiet so I didn't hear her very much but I glance over and see the owner of the voice a yellow pegasus pony with pinkish purple mane and tail her cutie mark was an image of three
The pony looks around for my landlord Rarity and then notices the mannequin that was on my back moving up and down as I continued training.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" screams the pony as she zips away hiding underneath the table thinking the mannequin was possessed.
This time I heard her and I got up setting the mannequin off of my back and on to the floor back where it was before I stood up and looked to find her hiding under a table.
"Oh my I'm so sorry for frightening you there, it's alright, I'm not going to hurt you, the mannequin you saw moving up and down was me doing some push ups with it on my back for extra weight." I explain calmly trying to get the timid pony to relax and come out.
The timid pony seems to see the truth in my words and slowly but shyly crawls out from underneath the table and speaks to me with her quiet voice.
"Oh well. It's ok, you didn't mean to scare me" she replies introducing herself as Fluttershy.
"So your name is Fluttershy? That's a nice name, and considering your reaction to my doing push ups with the mannequin on my back earlier, you live up to it well, no offence of course" I say in response.
"Oh none taken. Now what's your name sir?" she asks me.
"My name is Red Fluttershy" I respond explaining to her that I was a Saiyan and that I landed here yesterday and was invited to stay with Rarity yesterday.
She nodded her head just as Rarity was coming down to see what was going on
"What in the world is going on here Darling?" she asks, Fluttershy then tells her what had happened when she came inside as I walk over to the window to look out at Ponyville.
"Looks like a good day" I say to myself before sensing a huge power approaching from above and heading toward the Town Square at this point Rarity had noticed my Tail as did Fluttershy.
"Darling, what is that, is that a TAIL??" Rarity asks curious.
"Wha? Oh yes, it's my tail, all Saiyans have one, though some Saiyans have no tail because it was cut off at some point, which I think I should do that way I don't ruin Equestria during a night of a full moon." I explain.
"Why? What's so bad about a full moon?" Fluttershy asks me.
"Simple Fluttershy, during a full moon, a saiyan that has a tail will turn into a giant ape called the Oozaru or Great Ape. An uncontrollable beast that will rampage throughout the world it's on for the entirety of the night." I explain before sensing the large power from earlier approach Town Square calling my attention back to it. I put on my armor and my arm bands and walk out to see the pony who the great power belonged to, a pony who had just landed from her pegasus drawn chariot and had the features of all three types of ponies, she seemed like she would have the strength of an earth pony, she had some wings like a pegasus pony, and she had a horn like a unicorn pony. Her coat was a dark shade of blue, and her cutie mark was that of a black night sky with stars and a crescent moon. She was also wearing some silver shoes, a black breastplate that also had a crescent moon and a black tiara was on her head, but her most distinguishing feature was her mane and tail, both appeared to be blowing in the wind, even though there was no wind at all today for the moment, and they were blue with sparkles all inside of it, looking like a starry night sky. I began to walk toward the square to talk to her, before Rarity stopped me.
"Red, Wait!!!" she called out.
"Rarity what is it?" I respond turning back to look at her.
"That pony that landed there in Town Square, is Princess Luna." she says
"Princess Luna?" I ask curious.
"Yes, Princess Luna, she's one of the two rulers of Equestria, the other ruler is her older sister Princess Celestia." she explains
"Really?" I ask.
"Yes, she's the one who controls the night and the moon." she explains to me.
"Interesting. I'll be sure to introduce myself." I say to Rarity as I walk to the Town Square eager to meet the Princess of the Night who came here today.
I arrive at the Town Square and find Luna standing there looking among all the ponies attending as if she was looking for someone out of the ordinary. She then spots me and I bow to her as a sign of acknowledgment that she's a Princess, surprised she calls out.
"STRANGER, PLEASE JOIN US HERE ON THE STAGE." she bellows, I could feel myself being pushed back slightly by the force of her voice
"As you wish." I state before standing up and floating up and landing on the stage in front of Princess Luna. She was clearly surprised by my ability to fly and then asked in a surprisingly more calm voice than before when she called me up on to the stage
"What is thy name, and what are thou young stranger?" she asks me.
"My name is Red, and I am a Saiyan who landed here yesterday Princess Luna." I respond, she has a surprised expression clearly not expecting me to know who she was and replied
"Thou knows who I am?" she asks.
"It was rather simple Princess, your jewelry was as close to that of a royals as a Pony would wear, your mane and hair is similar to that of the starry night sky, your Cutie mark has a similar look with the image of a crescent moon as well, Your breastplate also has the same image of a crescent moon. I figured your name would have been connected to that as well so I guessed the first name that popped into my head, and that was Luna. Was I wrong? Princess?" I ask her.
"No, thou was correct on all accounts, but thou figured all that out by looking at me?" she asked surprised.
"Yes, and Rarity told me about you before I came here, I just felt like leading you on like that." I say with a chuckle
She just stands there looking at me, dumbfounded before finding out my joke and begins to laugh. Soon after, she see's my tail.
"Is that a TAIL?" she asks me
"Why yes it is Princess, I still have my tail, though considering I'd like to stay in Equestria and thus make it my new home, I really should have it cut off, that way I don't turn into a great ape during a full moon and go in an uncontrollable rampage" I explain. I notice some large scissors off to the side behind Luna and point at them.
"Would you care to do the honors of cutting off my tail Princess Luna?" I ask.
"I shall" she responds seeing the scissors I was pointing at then levitating them with her magic, she brings it over to where my tail was
"Let me uncurl it for you Princess" I say as I uncurl my tail for her to cut it off.
"Please just call me Luna, young Red" she tells me before she opens the scissors with her magic and then closes them, cutting off my tail.
"AAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa" I cry out as I drop to a knee having been weakened from the loss of my tail, worried about me, Luna comes closer.
"Is thou ok Red?" she asks me worried.
"Yeah...I'm fine... just weakened from the loss of my tail." I explain while still on a knee. I motion for her to come closer to me.
"Here come closer Luna, I can grab on to you to stand back up, once I do I'll be fine, and I can go and train off the loss of my tail to get back up to full power" I say as she approaches me, I put my hand on her back and use her to stand back up, I look at her and notice a blush appear on her cheeks, and she sees one on mine. I take my arm off of her beginning to feel better and then tell her
"There's one other thing you should know about me, Luna; I can create and control fire. I can make anything combust into flames, but I'd never do that unless they were evil, and I can make the fire I create be anything I chose, such as platforms, weapons, walls, roads, etc." I explain, demonstrating my powers by creating platforms, and stepping onto them myself, and motioning for Luna to join me on one, after some hesitation, she does and looks surprised as to why she's not burning.
"How am I not burning from being here on this flame?" she asks dumbfounded
"Simple, Luna, I can control who gets burnt, and who does not." I say to her, stepping off the platform with her back to the stage, dispelling the platforms of flame
"LOOK OUT IT'S A STAMPEDE!!!!!!!" A pony cries out, getting both our attention.
I look out toward the outskirts of town and see the cloud of dust coming from the stampede and fly down to the entrance of the town before Luna could stop me. I land just outside the town, turn around and put my hand up creating a wall of fire that cut off the town from the stampede, and after I turned around and began to search for the stampede I heard three voiced cry out near the flame wall from inside the town one of which I recognized as Scootaloo.
"CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS FIRE FIGHTERS!!!!! YAAAAAAAY!!!!!!" the voices cried out
I peaked around and looked to see Scootaloo and two of her friends, also fillies rushing back and forth with buckets of water trying to put out the wall of fire I created, their attempts would be in vain as the only one who could put out the wall of flames was me, any normal fire, they would have doused it easy after a while, but if I was the one who made it, I can make it go out or stay burning.
I head forward away from the town to see another Pony, this one with an orange coat and a yellow mane and tail, who was wearing a cowboy hat, work with a dog who she was directing from the other side to herd the stampeding cows and stop them. After I watched the pony stop the stampede, I congratulated her and she introduced herself to me.
"My name's Applejack, what's yer name sugarcube?" she asks me.
"My name's Red, Miss Applejack, nice to meet you" I say shaking her hoof before I sensed a fair energy coming up from farther away. I disperse the wall of flames and see Scootaloo and her two filly friends, a filly who had a white coat and a curled mane and tail that were shades of purple, she was also a unicorn filly, the other was an earth pony filly who had a yellow coat and red tail and mane, all three of them looked at their flanks for some reason, but stopped and sighed when they didn't see anything. I turn back to Applejack.
"I'm a Saiyan with the power to manipulate flames, that's how that wall of fire there just came up and how it dispersed just now, listen though, Princess Luna is at Town Square, tell her you took care of the stampede, and that Red went to deal with what started the stampede, she'll understand." I told her, she nodded and ran into town to tell Luna my message. Afterwards I walked forward and soon came across the starter of the Stampede: A bull.
"So your the one behind all that huh?" I ask as I step forward to confront him.
"Mmm, I am strange one." he replies in a gruff voice after he stopped.
"Tell me then, why did you start the stampede?" I asked
"For fun." he explained. This response got me excited due to my natural love to fight.
"Well then. Let's have some fun then Bull." I say getting into a fighting stance.
"The name's Iron Will stranger, I don't back down from a challenge, I'll crush you like a rat" he says as he lowers his head showing his sharp horns preparing to dash at me.
"The name's Red, I'm a Saiyan, I love to fight. so like I said, let's have some fun." I say and prepare for him to charge.
Iron Will Charges at me, and I run at him at the same time we both meet soon after words
"RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH" I yell out as I tackle him picking him up and then knocking him to the ground.
"Impressive, Red" he says as he gets himself back up and charges me from behind.
"Only a fool would attack me from behind." I state and turn around punching Iron Will in the face before he could hit me, then I give him a roundhouse kick knocking him away and into a tree.
"Very...Impressive...strength..." he says as he loses consciousness having been knocked out by my last attack.
"Heh, that was some good training, I managed to work over the loss of my tail somewhat, now to carry you back into town and let your weight serve as more training for that purpose." I say to myself as I walk to him and pick him up, slinging him over my shoulder and walk back into town.
I enter the town with Iron Will still slung over my shoulder and find Luna still at Town Square, Applejack had told her my message and was there with Twilight Sparkle, Rarity, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, and that Pink pony that took off yesterday. I stepped up to the stage and set Iron Will down in front of Luna and bowed.
"The cause of the stampede was this bull who goes by the name of Iron Will, Princess Luna." I tell her before turning to the other six ponies, but I center my attention to the Pink one and finally try to ask her her name.
"So what is your name?" I ask her.
"My name's Pinkie Pie guy, what's your name?" she eagerly asks me.
"My name's Red Pinkie." I reply. Luna then speaks up.
"Thank you for stopping Iron Will Red, he will be dealt with back in Canterlot." she says thanking me.
"Your welcome Luna, I'm always glad to help, it's the least I could do to prove my loyalty to you and my willingness to do anything to help protect Equestria." I tell her bowing again. Rarity then notices the hole in the back of my pants from where my tail used to be before Luna cut it off
"Oh my Red you have a huge hole in the back of your pants." she comments.
"Wha? Oh right that, well I asked Luna to cut off my tail so I don't transform during a full moon and destroy the place that I want to live in and protect." I reply.
"Oh no darling, you can't go around with a hole in your pants like that. OHH IDEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAA I'll fix them. and I'll make you some new clothes as well free of charge!" she proclaims.
"Well, if that's what you'd like to do, Sure thing. Let me go grab a change of clothes from my ship and I'll let you handle fixing the hole in my pants here when after I change." I tell her.
We all bow to Luna as she takes Iron Will and flies off to Canterlot, I silently hoped to myself that I would get to see her again soon. I headed back to my ship and grabbed my spare outfit, a leather jacket, with some spikes on the shoulders, black gloves with spikes on them as well, a black shirt, black pants, and boots with a chain whip wrapped around the body from the right shoulder. I changed into it and then walked back to Rarity's with my armor, pants, boots, and arm bands and gave her the pants which she sewed up without a problem.
"That's quite the outfit you have on now there Red" she said after seeing my new outfit impressed by the style of it.
"Thanks Rarity. I sometimes like to wear this for something different." I respond.
"Well I'll leave you to your work, I'm going to go visit Twilight and see what her place is like" I tell her as I began to walk back out of the door.
"You know where she lives don't you?" she asks before I walk out.
"Yes I do Miss Rarity, she told me soon after I met her yesterday." I explain and walk out of the store and out into Ponyville.
I approach her tree house and knock on the door, to my surprise Twilight Sparkle wasn't the one to answer the door, it was a little dragon with purple and green scales.
"Oh hey Red, come on in Twilight was hoping you'd show up sometime." he tells me.
"You know who I am?" I ask him shocked that he already knew about me.
"Of course, Twilight told me all about you, My name's Spike, and I'm Twilight's assistant and I'm also a messenger for the Princess." he explains as I walk in ducking down a little to enter it.
"You are essentially a direct line to Princess Luna?" I ask slightly excited that I could use Spike to send some letters to Luna.
"No, her sister Princess Celestia." he explains.
"Oh, Princess Celestia. I see, you know if there's any way to contact Luna herself?" I ask him not realizing that Twilight was just above us and could hear my question.
"Princess Celestia can be contacted by Spike, as for Princess Luna, I don't know why do you ask Red?" Twilight asks surprising me because of her sudden appearance.
"Aaahh oh Twilight, you scared me for a second there, well no reason, I was just asking." I explain to her.
"Well in any case, welcome to my home here in Ponyville. I live here in this library, and I not only run this library, but I also work to discover the magic of friendship for Princess Celestia." she tell me.
"Interesting, well if I ever meet her and Luna again, I'll be sure to not only introduce myself to Princess Celestia, but I'll also have to ask Luna if there is any way to contact her personally." I say.
"Yeah, you'll have to do that with Luna then." she tells me.
"Oh wait I almost forgot, You don't have to worry about introducing yourself to Princess Celestia when you meet her." she tells me
"Oh really? and why is that?" I ask wondering how the princess would already know about me.
"Simple really Red, for one, you introduced yourself to her sister Princess Luna today, so chances are Luna may tell Princess Celestia about you, and I sent a letter to Princess Celestia via Spike telling her about you anyway." she explains.
"I see, well, considering I stopped Iron Will from doing anything to the town I wouldn't be surprised if I ended up getting some sort of congrats for that over the course of the day or something" I say getting an excited look on her face.
"I know just who to ask about that!" she exclaims starting to run out of the library with me following her.
"Who Twilight, who?" I ask as we approach a house that looks like it's made entirely out of sweets. I look in awe at it wondering just how that thing was made
"Pinkie Pie, she's the Party Pony of Ponyville." Twilight explains as we walk inside the building, which we find Pinkie inside behind a counter.
"Welcome to Sugercube Corner Red, you too Twilight, what brings you here?" she asks in her eager ecstatic voice
"Well Pinkie Pie, we were wondering if you could throw a party for Red since he stopped Iron Will earlier today." Twilight said.
"Okie Dokie Loki! Which I have to give Red a welcoming party anyway, we can have both at the same time!" Pinkie exclaims.
"Great Pinkie! What time and where?" I ask eager to find out when to arrive and where.
"Just come back here at 8:00 Red, and it'll be ready!" She says eagerly giving both myself and Luna a muffin on the house and sending us on our way with her huge smile
"See ya then Pinkie" I say and head outside then look to Twilight.
"Hey Twilight, you think you can send a note to Princess Celestia asking for her and Luna to come? I'd love to meet Princess Celestia." I tell her.
"Well, I'll make the request but I won't make any promises on if she'll come or not." she replied.
"Thanks, maybe then I'll get to ask Luna if there's anyway to contact her personally." I reply hoping Luna would show up at the very least.
"Ok well I'll see ya at 8 then Red!" Twilight said heading back to her house waving a foreleg at me as a goodbye.
"See ya then Twi!" I respond waving as I walked off to explore the town more, eventually coming upon an apple orchard after eating my muffin which was quite delicious. As I explored the orchard, I come upon a barn where Applejack was sitting with that same yellow filly with red mane and tail that was with Scootaloo earlier, I approach them.
"Hey there Miss Applejack." I call out waving.
"Well Howdy there Red, and y'all don't have to use them honorifics with me, just keep it simple!" she replied.
"Ok then, well Applejack, what is this place?" I ask curious about the beautiful apple orchard here
"Well, welcome to where I live and work: Sweet Apple Acres!" she exclaimed.
"It's quite the impressive site this apple orchard, so who is this cute little filly here?" I say kneeling down looking straight at the yellow filly I saw with Scootaloo.
"Mah name's Apple Bloom! Applejack's my older sister." she said with a big grin.
"Awww how adorable is she?" I say looking at Applejack and petting Apple Bloom's mane which at first she was curious, but calmed down after seeing that I wasn't trying to hurt her.
"So what is it you do here AJ?" I ask Applejack after standing back up.
"Well, come Applebuck season I work with the other ponies around here to knock them there apples out of the trees to harvest them." she explained.
"Applebuck?" I asked curious as to what that was.
"It'll be better if I just showed y'all." she said going over to a nearby apple tree with a few buckets just below it. she turned around then kicked it with both of her hind legs and the entire load of apples on the tree fell down into the buckets below.
"Impressive strength AJ." I say applauding her power. I see another tree nearby and walk over to it.
"Would y'all like to give it a shot?" she asks me when she sees me approach the tree.
"I reckon I will." I say with a mock southern accent and a smile to her chuckling, she could see I meant no offence and laughed as well. I get up to the tree then draw back my right arm and punch the tree with a fair amount of strength, not wanting to break the tree from the punch, but to my surprise the apples didn't fall.
"Let me try again, with more power." I say as I bring back my right hand again and punch the tree even harder with more strength, and all the apples fall down into the barrels. Soon after they finished falling, I heard Applejack and Apple Bloom clapping their hooves together in an applause.
"Well I'll be darned, that's some strength y'all got there Red" Applejack tells me, "How's about y'all work with me for a while knocking down them there apples during applebuck season?" she offers.
"Hmm, interesting, sure, I'll give it a shot, let me lift up these buckets of them and I can help you all carry them in." I say picking up the buckets with them being a fair weight from all the apples in them I bring one onto my shoulder, and carry a second one in my other arm, and bring them into the barn, where Applejack pointed for me to put them. After setting them down inside, I come out and prepare to leave, but before I leave, I ask Applejack and Apple Bloom if they would come to the sugarcube corner at 8:00 for the party. Upon hearing it was both a welcome party and a party celebrating my stopping Iron Will, she smiled.
"Well, congrats there Red, we'll come, and I'll bring some of Sweet Apple Acre's Apple Cider with us!!!" she replies.
"Alright, now it'll be a party!!!" I explain and wave leaving.
Soon after I left, I was walking through the town and Twilight rushed out of her house and caught me. She informed me of the Princess's decision to join us at the party, she shown me the note she got back from Princess Celestia it read:
"My dearest Student, I would love to attend the party for Red today, Myself and Luna shall be there at 8:00, and I'll be sure to bring Shining Armor and Princess Cadence as well for you to enjoy their company. I look forward to meeting the new saiyan resident of Equestria in person, We shall see you soon, Princess Celestia." I read aloud.
I look to Twilight after I finished reading the letter, I looked to her and asked
"Who are Princess Cadence and Shining Armor?"
"Oh Princess Cadence was my old foalsitter, and now she's my sister in law, because she married Shining Armor, who is my brother." Twilight explained.
"Ah I see, well I look forward to seeing Luna again, as well as meeting your brother, Cadence, and Princess Celestia." I reply before heading back to Rarity's to see if she finished my repairs, as I was starting to want to wear my armor again.
I enter the Carousel Boutique ringing the bell as I entered, and I hear my landlord's elegant voice call
"I'll be right there!" she calls out
"It's alright Rarity, it's just me, Red." I reply.
"Oh it's you, Perfect Darling, come up here I finished your pants, and I am working on a new outfit for you." she says
"Well alright, but you didn't have to do that." I reply as I walk upstairs seeing her working at a sewing machine on something.
"Thanks Rarity, I can't even see where the hole was anymore" I say picking up my pants and looking for a place to change back into my armor.
"Oh your most welcome Darling, if you want to change back into that armor of yours, just use that changing screen over there" she says pointing at a screen meant for some privacy to try on outfits.
"Thanks, I'll do that." I say grabbing my pants, and boots then walking over to it and going behind it, removing my chain whip, jacket, gloves, and the rest of my outfit, and putting on my pants and boots, I step out and turn around showing Rarity how well they fit and were repaired
"Ah yes, they look perfect on you now" she says seeing me come out. I walk over and put on my armor and armbands before turning to Rarity.
"Well, you said you were working on a new outfit for me?" I asked
"Yes, I did, I'm putting the finishing touches on the hat now but the rest of it is over there." she says pointing to a nearby outfit hanging up, there were a pair of red shoes, with some black and white on them as well, blue jeans, a black short-sleeved shirt, and a red vest like shirt that had a white collar, there were also some black wristbands next to it.
"Go ahead and try it on." Rarity told me eagerly to see if it would fit me.
"Alright, I like the look of it already Rarity" I say as I take the outfit and head behind the screen again, taking off my boots, armor, and armbands, I then slip out of my pants and into the blue jeans, which were a perfect fit, the same size as my pants that she repaired, I put on the shoes and found them to be a size 10, same as my boots, I slipped off my armbands and switched them for the wristbands, which fit perfectly. I slip on the black shirt and fount it fit very well. a little loose, but I liked it loose, then I put on the red overshirt, and it fit perfectly.
"Well, Miss Rarity, how does it look?" I say coming out dressed in my new outfit, still having my red headband on with my hair spiked up, with a few strands drooping down over my forehead.
"Oh my it fits you perfectly, and that red headband you have goes well with it as well, where did you get that nice accessory?" she asks.
"Well I got this from Bardock, my old partner from back when I was on Planet Vegeta, the Planet I lived in at first before my powers over flame were discovered." I explain.
"Well it certainly works perfectly with your armor, and that last outfit, what and this one, now lets see how this hat looks on you Darling." she says as she finished the hat, it was a large red hat, with a white brim, and a white semi-circle on the front of it, but as she levitated it over to me with her magic, turning to watch me put it on, I noticed her wearing some glasses.
"Hey Rarity, I didn't know you wore glasses." I say taking the hat from her before putting it on.
"Not normally, I only wear them to get a much more detailed look at my stitching when I'm working, here look at your hat with them." she says levitating her glasses over to me, I gently hold them in my right hand, and bring them up to my face to look at my hat.
"Amazing, I can see where every stitch was tucked in, and brought over the cross stitch on it." I say looking at my hat with them. I hand them back to Rarity who takes them and levitates them back to a case where she stored it. I put on my hat, in a way that would let my headband still be visible, and it fit perfectly.
"Wonderful Rarity, I love it." I tell her.
"Oh thank you Darling, my outfits bring out the inner beauty of the wearer, in your case, I can tell your an adventurous man, so the outfit I made for you, was made to be like that of an adventurers." she explained.
"No, Rarity, Thank you!" I say as I kneel down and go to hug her, she rears up on her hind legs and embraces me
"Oh your welcome Darling, it was my pleasure!" she replied as I let her go. I told her about the party at Sugarcube Corner, and she said she'd be there, as she wouldn't miss it.
I walk outside to find Rainbow Dash flying around with a Rainbow Trail going behind her I watch her pushing past clouds, then I decide to help her out a little bit, before she hits another one, I fire a ki blast and destroy the cloud she stops just in front of where the cloud was in shock of what happened, I flew up to her.
"Hi there, that blast that destroyed the cloud before you hit it, that was me." I said as I hovered in the air.
"Oh ok wait, HOW ARE YOU FLYING? YOU HAVE NO WINGS." she exclaimed in clear shock that I was flying.
"Well, I learned to fly using my energy long ago, when I was a kid. but that doesn't matter, wanna have some fun Rainbow Dash?" I ask her with a smirk.
"Oh definitely, wanna have a race?" she asked.
"Sure thing, I'll take you on." I reply.
"Alright, first one to my house way up there, wins" she said as we both landed on the ground and got ready to race.
"Wow, your house is made of clouds? AWESOME, hey when we finish, mind giving me a tour reguardless of who wins?" I asked
"Sure, though I may win, I'm the fastest flier in Equestria!" she exclaimed.
"HA, we'll see about that, I'm very fast myself." I say to her as I get ready to count off.
"READY" I say.
"SET" she replies
"GOOOOOO!!!" I exclaim as we both take off toward her cloud house at full speed.
We speed through the air, slamming into clouds bursting through them as we race up to Rainbow Dash's house, after a few seconds, I reach her house just a second before Rainbow Dash. I see Rainbow Dash land and stomp her hoof in annoyance that she lost a race in flight.
"No way, I can't believe it you beat me!" she said. I saw her standing on the clouds and lowered myself and to both our surprise, I was able to stand on the clouds just like her.
"Wow, how can you be standing on clouds Rainbow?" I ask her.
"I should ask you the same thing, but to answer your question, Pegasi can all walk on clouds, and manipulate them." she explains.
"I guess, anything that can fly can walk on clouds, maybe I can manipulate them as well by pushing them or something." I say before walking with Rainbow Dash into her house, it's beauty taking my breath away.
"Man this is amazing, I would love to live up here" I say to her as she shown me around her house up in the clouds.
"Yeah, it's amazing up here." she replied as we went around her house, just before I left, I told her about the party, and she said she'd be there. After we walked out she asked about my outfit which I told her Rarity made, she told me it suited me well and I thanked her, Fluttershy then shown up, and I explained to her that apparently because I could fly I could walk on clouds, and told her about the party as well, she said she'd be there, and I took off bidding them farewell.
Hours went by and soon it was 8:00, I walk out and head to the Sugarcube Corner and find the lights off, I turn them on and everyone was there, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Twilight, Rarity, Applejack, Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, that unicorn filly who bore a slight resemblance to Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Princess Luna, a white Unicorn Stallion with a blue mane and tail, next to a Pink Alicorn with purplish-pink Mane and Tail, and a third Alicorn, with a white coat, the cutie mark of the sun, and a mane and tail which were Pink, green, light blue, and a purplish-blue and like Luna's were blowing even though there were no wind. she was wearing some golden shoes, a golden brestplate with a purple diamond on it, and a gold tiara with the same purple diamond on it. I approached her and bowed.
"You must be Princess Celestia then aren't you?" I ask her bowed on one knee.
"I am, noble Red, and you may rise." she responds acknowledging me.
"It's an honor to meet you Princess, same with Luna from earlier today." I respond standing up, I then look over to the pink alicorn and the white Unicorn Stallion and ask "Who are you two?"
"I'm Princess Mi Amore Cadenza, but please call me Cadence." the Alicorn responds.
"My name's Shining Armor. I'm Twiley's older brother." he tells me.
"Well it's nice to meet you both, I'm Red, I only arrived here yesterday, and I already love it here." I tell them. I then notice Scootaloo and Apple Bloom talking with the Unicorn Filly and approach them
"Hey Scootaloo, hey Apple Bloom, who's this?" I ask motioning toward the Unicorn Filly.
"My name's Sweetie Belle!" she replies.
"Well, that's cute, and you resemble Rarity somewhat, are you related to her?" I ask her
"Yes I am, she's my big sister." she responds happily.
"Aww, well then, don't be surprised if you see me sleeping on the couch at the Carousel Boutique sometimes Sweetie Belle." I tell her
"Why's that Mr. Red?" she asks curious.
"Because I'm staying with Rarity, at least until I am able to build my own place." I tell her.
"Well, Mr. Red, we were just talking about what we were going to try next to earn our cutie marks." Scootaloo explains.
"So your the ones who were trying to be firefighters earlier today and put out the flame wall I created." I said to them after hearing that.
"Wait, how did y'all know bout that?" Apple Bloom asks confused as to how I knew about earlier today.
"Simple, for one, who do you think MADE that fire wall, and I'm the one who dispersed it too. I also saw you three try to put it out shortly after I made it." I explained.
"Well, you know then that we are the Cutie Mark Crusaders, and our job is to go around and try what we can to earn our cutie marks." Scootaloo explains.
"Really, well, I'd be happy to help or join, as I don't have a cutie mark either, though I don't think I'll ever get one, as I'm not a pony." I say to them holding up my sleeves revealing my bare shoulders.
"Then tomorrow I'll make you a cape like ours!" Sweetie Belle exclaimed and shown me hers.
"Great, I can't wait." I say smiling, the design of their capes was simple, but beautiful at the same time, a blue base, with a gold cloth on the underside, and a nice little crest on it as well.
"ALRIGHT EVERYPONY, LETS PARTY!!!" Pinkie shouted, and reached behind the DJ table and pulled up a white coated unicorn with the cutie mark of a music note an eighth note to be exact, who's Mane and tail were shades of blue, and she was wearing some sunglasses, she moved the record onto the spinning table with magic and started playing some awesome beats.
"WOO! Let's dance!" I shout and jump into the center of the party group and begin to dance around dancing with all the other Ponies at the party.
I continued to dance and party until I noticed Luna standing off alone, I stopped dancing and walked over to her.
"Hey Luna, why are you not joining the rest of us in the dancing?" I ask her.
"I...um, well I just don't feel very comfortable at these sort of things honestly." she replied hesitantly.
"Well I can understand that, very well, but there's something else isn't there Luna, your hiding something, something you don't want to let out because it's dangerous right?" I asked.
"How did thou know of it?" she asked stunned.
"I could see it in your eyes." I reply looking in her teal blue eyes.
"Very well, it is true, I have a dark side, known as Nightmare Moon, it was because of our dark side that I was sealed away in my moon for 1000 years." she told me.
"Wow, sounds really bad." I say to her.
"It is." she replied with a sad tone in her voice.
"Hey it's alright, I understand, remember the Oozaru thing I mentioned earlier, Nightmare Moon sounds to me like that except that she would come out if you got too angry rather than only during a full moon." I replied, putting an arm around her.
"Thank you." she replied, and reared up on her hind legs and embraced me. she was tall enough on her hind legs that our heads were at even level.
After this, Luna decided to join in the dancing, being much happier after I talked to her, however, a short while later, I saw Princess Celestia look out the window up toward the beautiful night sky worried, I approach her.
"Princess, is there anything wrong?" I ask worried as well.
"I'm afraid so Red, this party may be cut short, as there is a large meteor heading for the planet, and if it isn't stopped, I fear the entire planet will be destroyed!" she replies, with a dark tone in her voice.
"I'll take care of it, I just got here yesterday, and I'm not going to let some pathetic space rock destroy my new home planet." I reply.
"Are you sure you can do it?" she responded very worried that I may not be able to do it.
"I'm a saiyan, I'm probably the most powerful being on this planet right now, no offence your majesty, and I can breathe in outer space, I'm the only one who can possibly bring it down!" I say to her trying to reassure her.
"No offence taken young Red, I understand what you mean by that." she responds, and we head outside, and she points out where the Meteor is. All the other Ponies that were at the party however, come outside including Luna after I walked out with the Princess of the Sun.
"What's wrong Red?" Luna asks worried.
"There's a meteor coming for us, and if I don't destroy it, the planet is going to be destroyed." I respond looking at her, I take off my new hat and put it on her.
"What? Why art thou giving me thy hat?" she asked confused.
"If I don't destroy this space rock, I want you to remember me by it before we all die. If I die taking this thing down, I want you to have it, to remember me by." I respond, but before I take off I look back to Princess Celestia.
"Wait, Princess, You can use magic, because of your horn, just like a unicorn can right?" I ask knowing the answer already.
"Yes of course I can." she replies.
"Well I've got an idea, do you have a telepathy spell in your arsenal of magic?" I ask her, knowing if I did then my idea would be able to work much easier.
"Yes, and it's easy for me to use, why?" she asked curious as to what I had planned.
"Simple, a technique that I learned from a friend of mine while I was on earth. It's a powerful technique called the Spirit Bomb, where by taking a portion of energy from every living thing on the planet, I form a large ball of energy, and I can hurl it at my enemies, or in this case, that Meteor, and obliterate them. If you cast that Telepathy spell, it will be easier for me to let you all know when to raise your hooves to the air to send me your energy." I explain.
"Interesting, very well, let's do it." she replies and her horn glows with magical energy as she casts the spell over every one, or rather everypony in Ponyville and Canterlot.
"Good, now can everypony here hear me?" I ask telepathically to make sure the spell worked. I heard the responses from all the ponies in Ponyville and Canterlot, and told them to do what I said when I said so, they all replied that they understood.
"Alright, there's nothing I can't do. I'll take down this Meteor, and save everypony!" I exclaim and take off toward the sky to get high enough for me to have the meteor be in range.
Will I really be able to take down the meteor and save everypony? Tune in next chapter and find out!

A Miracle is born and a relationship on the horizon.
I fly high into the sky, high enough for me to be able to get a clear shot at the Meteor that was coming down on us, and threatened to destroy the planet. Once I got high enough, I looked around, I finally spotted the meteor, it was huge, it was large enough to destroy the planet if it wasn't destroyed. I raised my arms and hands into the air right above me and began to call out via the telepathy spell that Princess Celestia had cast a few moments ago.
"QUICK, NOW RAISE YOUR HOOVES UP TO THE SKY, GIVE ME YOUR ENERGY PLEASE!!!" I pleaded.
"TAKE IT, TAKE ALL THE ENERGY WE CAN SPARE!" Princess Celestia and Luna cried out as they both raised their forelegs to the sky
"YES TAKE OUR ENERGY!" the other ponies began to reply as they raised their hooves to the sky as well.
"Great, Keep it up, I need all the energy I can get from everypony!" I call back telepathically as I feel the energy coming in and forming the ball of energy that would be the Spirit Bomb. I then thought of a way for me to get more energy from some other animals and called out via telepathy.
"Fluttershy, you care for animals right, that's your special talent isn't it?" I ask her
"Yes it is Red, why?" she asked me.
"Then quick, go back and get your animal friends to do the same, to raise their paws, wings, and such in to the air as well, that will come in handy." I tell her, and she rushes away and gets to her cottage and instructs all her animal friends there to do the same, which they do, and she stands there doing the same.
"Good good, I can feel their energy coming in as well. Just a little more!" I exclaim as the Spirit bomb began to get larger, and it finally reached it's full size. I felt all the energy of every pony and animal in Canterlot and Ponyville in my hands inside the Spirit bomb.
"IT'S READY!!!" I exclaim to everypony there. They looked up and saw not only the Meteor far far away but also a HUGE ball of energy, which was the Spirit bomb, ready for me to fire and use to destroy the meteor before It could destroy the planet.
"LAUNCH THAT SUCKER!!!!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed to me with telepathy as she and all the other ponies looked on watching, waiting for me to launch it.
"ALRIGHT HERE WE GO!!!" I exclaim as I lean back while hovering there, and then thrust my arms and hands forward, launching the large Spirit bomb at the meteor, which it hit.
We watched the Spirit bomb hit the meteor, but not explode, which caught my attention.
"What the?" I wonder, and look closer, the Spirit bomb was still pushing against the meteor, but it couldn't push it back out and destroy it.
"No, impossible, the Spirit bomb is not enough???" I ask myself stunned, without any further hesitation, I draw back my right hand and charge up a beam of energy, then fire it at the Spirit bomb which was still pushing against the meteor.
"HAAAAAAAAA TAKE ALL THE ENERGY I HAVE LEFT THEN!!!" I shout aloud as I fired at the Spirit bomb and meteor, hitting the Spirit bomb, and then it explodes and knocks me down from the force of the explosion. I fall and land on something soft, I look and see I landed on a cloud, I hear some wings flapping behind me, and saw Luna floating there having pushed the cloud and for me to land on, still wearing my hat.
"Thank you Luna, I'd have probably been a goner if you didn't push that cloud over here." I say thanking her, then looking up to where the Spirit bomb hit the meteor and see the smoke clear.
"What? NO WAY IMPOSSIBLE!!!" I exclaim as I see the meteor still there, and I could see a large crack in it, after I looked closer.
"Impossible." Luna said, seeing the same thing.
"No, all that, and all I did was CRACK it???" I exclaim in denial that I had failed to destroy it. I draw back my right arm again to fire another energy beam but when I try to fire it, I get nothing but a small ki blast which doesn't go far before it dissipates.
"No, I'm out of energy, I don't have enough to try and fire at it again." I say as I look on shocked that I didn't have any energy left to attack with.I look at my hands still stunned.
"No." I say to myself.
"What?" Luna replies
"NO WAY, IT CAN'T END HERE, I WON'T LET IT END THIS WAY!!!!" I shout not even noticing Luna's presence.
"Red, you can't destroy that thing, you don't have any energy left!" she pleaded. I didn't hear her, I was to focused on that meteor and myself.
"I won't stop fighting, I'll never stop trying, not until I DIE!!!" I exclaim as my aura begins to surge and appear around me.
"What is going on?" Luna asks surprised that my energy seemed to be returning suddenly.
"I WILL SAVE EVERYPONY! NO MATTER THE COST!!!!" I shout as my aura continues to surge, but my hair began to change, shifting between the normal black color, and it turned gold, lightning also began to spark in my aura as my eyebrows changed shifting between black and gold like my hair, and my eyes began to shift between their normal black color and a shining green color. I began to think of all my new friends, Rainbow Dash, Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle, Apple Bloom, Rarity, Applejack, Fluttershy, Twilight Sparkle, Pinkie Pie, Princess Cadence, Shining Armor, Princess Celestia, and most of all, Princess Luna. I knew if I gave up and stopped trying to bring down that meteor now, everything I did would be for nothing, and everypony and me, would die. I wasn't about to give up now.I wanted to save everypony there. I wanted to be able to see them again, but most of all, I wanted to be able to see Luna again.
"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!" I shout out as my aura changed from it's normal blue color to gold, my hair changed from black to gold and spiked up with only one spike drooped down over my forehead, my eyebrows changed from black to gold as well, and my eyes changed from black to a shining green.
"What is going on???" Princess Celestia and the other ponies asked as the looked on and saw a golden glow in the sky where I was, with Luna being right behind me.
"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh!" I yell out before stopping, seeing myself surging with new found power, I looked at myself and saw some lightning surge through my aura once in a while as I finished changing.
"What happened to you Red?" Luna asked behind me, shocked by my sudden transformation. I finally noticed her behind me and turned to face her.
"I've become the legendary Super Saiyan." I told her shocked myself at my own transformation.
"A Super Saiyan?!?" she asks surprised.
"There's no time for me to explain right now. Please, go back down to Princess Celestia and the others, I don't want you to get hurt from what I'm about to do by accident Luna." I tell her turning around to face the meteor once again.
"But-" she starts before I glance over my shoulder and interrupt her.
"Trust me." I tell her
"Alright, Red, I trust you, but you better come back alive!" she responds giving me a quick embrace which I return. I watch her fly back down to the others leaving me standing there on the cloud alone.
"Alright you stupid space rock. I'LL BLOW YOU AWAY!!!" I exclaim as I charge up for a final attack, using my new found super saiyan power.
I bring my hands out to my sides, and charge up two yellow balls of energy in them, then I bring them in front of me, with my right hand on the bottom, and my left hand on top, I combine the yellow energy balls into a large blue energy ball, then I bring both my hands down to my side as I get into a stance for one of my friend Goku's attacks. Then I charge it up more, and turn it into a large green ball of energy. When I feel it reach full power I shove my hands in front of me and fire off the huge green beam of energy.
"FINAL SHINING KAMEHAMEHA!!!!!" I shout out as I fire off the huge green beam of energy, and down on the ground, everypony watching saw me fire the blast, seeing the huge green beam fire, and go straight to the center of the crack on the meteor and hit it head on!
"THIS ENDS NOW!!!!!!" I shout out as I put more energy into the beam as it hit the meteor, and after I put all the power I could into it, the beam blasted through the meteor, and shattered it. with a few remaining shards of the meteor falling harmlessly to the ground.
Finally finished with the attack, and the destruction of the meteor, the beam disperses and I hover there in the air, the cloud I was on having been blown away by the force of my attack. With my hands in front of me, I pant exhausted, and drop my arms back to my sides, and fall backwards falling to the ground, unable to keep myself in the air because I was too tired.
I land, on the ground with a crash, everypony hearing me crash to the ground, as they were too busy celebrating my destroying the meteor to notice me fall down from where I hovered in the air.
"OH NO! RED!!!" Luna shouts as she and the other ponies rush to where I landed. Luna arrived first and saw that I was unconscious. My hair had turned back to it's normal state at this point, as did my eyebrows and my eyes, though they couldn't see it due to my eye's being closed.
"Oh dear, no, I'm sure he's alive Luna." Princess Celestia said, as she looked with everypony there. Luna stepped forward to me, and nudged me, I didn't move or respond, desperate, she nudged me more, she even began to nuzzle me.
"Please Red, wake up, WAKE UP!" she cried attempting to wake me, after seeing her efforts to wake me weren't working, she lied down, putting her forelegs over me with her head buried in them, and began to cry.
Everypony cried looking on as the Princess of the night cried over my apparent death, but then she looked up, still crying, and focused her magic through her horn and put her horn to me.
"Please Red, don't die, come back to us, come back to me!" she pleaded as she focused her magic on me.
"Ow." I said softly, as I slowly began to wake up, I slowly opened my eyes, and saw Luna on top of me, still wearing my hat, and crying, I then looked around and saw everypony crowded around me, with tears in their eyes as well.
"Hey everypony, I...did...it!" I say with a cough as I gave them a thumbs up with my right hand. I then placed my hand on Luna's head, and began to run my hand through her mane, it felt just as beautiful as it looked.
"Hey now Luna, don't cry, I destroyed the meteor, and I'm alive, thanks to you!" I say putting my right hand on her cheek.
"Thank you Red, thank you!" Luna said embracing me as I started to sit up.
"Your welcome Luna." I say as I return her embrace, after she let me go, she levitated my hat off of her and back onto me.
"Now, let's get back and have an even BIGGER party!" I say standing up, with Luna helping me stand.
Everypony cheered at this and rushed back into sugarcube corner, leaving me with Princess Luna and Princess Celestia.
"Thank you Red, for destroying that meteor before it could destroy the planet." Princess Celestia told me, and approached me, lowering her head to me for me to hug her.
"You are most welcome Princess, It was an honor to do it for you." I reply hugging her. All three of us then headed back into Sugarcube corner. We entered to thunderous applause by everypony inside, with them all clopping their forelegs on the ground like applause.
"Alright everypony! I got some barrels of Sweet Apple Acre's Apple Cider here for y'all, but Red get's first servin on account of his destroying that there meteor!" Applejack announced, as she put up the barrels and attacked a faucet handle to it for her to twist it open and let the cider flow.
"Woo alright! Give me a mug of that!" I exclaim as I approach the farm pony.
"Here ya go Red!" She said filling up a mug with the cider and nudging it over to me, I take it and begin to sip the cider.
"OH MAN THIS STUFF IS GOOD!!!" I exclaim, loving the taste.
"Yep, we usually bring out the Apple Cider when there's a special occasion." the farm pony replied.
"Ha, I can see why! it's amazing!" I reply with a smile.
The party continued for a good few hours into the night, with everypony enjoying the celebration, dancing, singing, As for me, I enjoyed the company of the Princess of the night, Princess Luna, I wouldn't be telling all of this if she hadn't managed to revive me after I took care of the meteor and for that, I'm eternally grateful.
"Red, may I ask you something?" Luna asks
"Of course." I reply walking over to her.
"Actually, I have a gift for you, as thanks for destroying that meteor, I'm asking you to stay with me for the night, in my room at the castle in Canterlot." She says with a smile.
"I'd... uhh... well, I'd be honored to stay the night with you Luna." I hesitantly replied seriously nervous about what would happen.
"Thanks you Red, and don't worry, we'll be safe from any news media if your nervous about that." she said noticing my nervousness
"Oh, well, thanks Luna." I replied breathing a sigh of relief.
"It's the least I can do for what you did for everypony." she replied.
I nodded and gave her a hug as thanks then we both went back to the party. The song changed to one that was quite upbeat, almost sounding like that of a Spanish Guitar I believe, and the setting I could see in my mind as I listened to it, was like that of a western duel. a light shown on me, and I discovered I was in a spotlight, I looked across the room, to see that Luna was in a similar position. She looked up and saw me staring at her, as everypony began to back up, allowing us plenty of room.
"Well, this is...odd." I said with a laugh.
"It seems they want us to dance." she said as she approached me, taking steps in time with the beat.
"Interesting." I say as I do the same, meeting her in the middle.
I take her hoof in my hand as she rears up on her hind legs, and I put my arm around her back, as she does the same with her other foreleg, and we begin to dance together, keeping in time with the song, separating from each other to continue the dance, then coming back together a few moments later, I would spin her around continuing the graceful dance, until the song ended. After it ended we stood together, and took a bow, to the applause of everypony there. After the dance, the crowd of ponies began to thin out, as the party ended, and soon the Princesses were about to leave, with me joining them for the night.
"Shall we Red?" Luna asked as she stepped onto the chariot with her sister.
"Lets." I say stepping onto the large chariot next to Luna who gave me a smile after I did so.
The chariot took off being pulled by two armored Pegasus ponies, no doubt part of the royal guard. The ride was quite smooth, no bumps at all from wind as we flew back to the large castle that was perched on a mountain. After we landed, we got off, with Celestia going to the throne room, and Luna leading me to her room, she opens the door revealing a room with a ceiling like that of a starry night sky, and her large bed, was just as amazing, I took off my shirt, shoes, socks and hat and allowed her to climb in the bed first, before getting in myself, it's softness was divine, I felt as if I was sleeping in space, among the stars, floating around, it was amazing. I am writing this as I get more drowsy each second laying in her bed with Luna herself next to me. I smile at her then put away my journal for the night with my hat and lay back in the bed, letting it's amazing soft feel carry me into sleep, then before I fall asleep, I feel a warm kiss placed on my cheek, I look over and see Luna having kissed me, smiles, then lies down and goes to sleep. I smile back and lean over, kissing her on the head before falling asleep myself.

Training to become stronger, and to capture the heart of the moon, begins.
I woke up the next day, Luna's bed was the most comfortable think I've ever slept on. EVER. Of all time. I thought back to what happened the previous night, because I was believing the fact that I was in Luna's bedroom, sleeping with her the night before to be a dream. If it was, I certainly didn't want to wake up. Choosing to find out if I was dreaming or not, I punched myself in the side, I felt it, and it hurt. I wasn't dreaming at all. and my heart soared. Not only did I sleep with the beautiful Princess of the Night the night before, but I had transformed into a Super Saiyan. I know my friends Goku, Gohan, Trunks, and Vegeta had gained that level before, I even heard my old mentor Bardock tell me he was one, I saw him become one once, it was awesome. Now I was among their ranks as a Super Saiyan as well, but I wasn't anywhere near the power level of my friends from earth, those Saiyans, were FAR stronger than any saiyan I've ever met, stronger than anyone I've met before. I hope I can come close to their power atleast. I stepped out onto the balcony, and sat down and closed my eyes, now going to meditate, in an attempt to become able to transform at will. Goku told me he trained hard to do just that, to transform into a super saiyan without his emotions running wild like they did when they caused the transformation to happen originally. I heard the sound of hooves clopping against the floor approaching me as I was meditating, and I stopped, and turned around to look. It was none other than Luna herself. I smiled, she was the most beautiful Pony I've seen since arriving here a few days ago, with Lady Rarity from back in Ponyville coming in a close second.
"Good Morning Red." She said.
"Good Morning Luna, my princess." I said, bowing after standing up.
"Oh Red, you don't have to do that." She said with a chuckle, motioning for me to rise, which I did.
"On the contrary my dear, It is common courtesy to bow before royalty. And I also wish to be at your beck and call, I would be honored to serve you." I said proudly. "and to take you out sometime..." I whispered to myself.
"What was that last part?" She asked, noticing me having whispered.
"Oh...uh.. heh, I said I'd also be honored to......take you out sometime....." I said hesitantly.
My statment about being honored to take her out sometime clearly caught her off guard. She blinked, having a clear look of surprise on her face. I smiled nervously.
"I believe I will let you think on that one, then. I should get over to Ponyville to try and get a job so I can earn some money of my own to be able to live here after all." I said attempting to get out of the awkward moment and stepping back into the room, I put the hat, and the rest of my clothes back on, then stepping back onto the balcony I prepared to leave. Before I did leave, I turned back to Luna, who had seemed to snap out of the shock she was in from my previous statement, and smiled.
"Permission to hug thy beautiful self?" I asked.
"Permission...not needed for thee." She replied, and I stepped over and embraced her, with her doing the same, wrapping her forelegs around me in a hug as well.
"Will you be my friend Luna?" I asked sending her into another state of shock for a moment.
"You wish to be my friend?" She asked, stunned.
"I would be honored to be thy friend Luna." I replied nodding.
"Yes, I will Red." She responds, a tear coming from her eye, causing me to wonder why, I believed it was possibly because she didn't have many friends, being a Princess, or because she is the one who brings the night, which not many ponies would appreciate due to sleeping through it. I'm also guilty of doing so, but I enjoy the night, because of how peaceful it is. Quite ironic, being a saiyan who would naturally love the action, enjoying peace and quiet. But that's one of the reasons I'm different.
"Thank you Luna. I will see you around, and if you decide on my proposal to take you out sometime, just send me a message. I'm sure I'll get it, somehow." I say even though I'm not telepathic, though a friend of mine King Kai, was.
"Then hold on a moment." She said stepping over to me. and her horn began to glow with a cobalt blue aura, and she gently touched it to my forehead.
"What did you just do?" I asked
"I used a spell to permanently allow you to be telepathic." she said with a smile.
"Telepathic? Oh like earlier with the Spirit Bomb?" I asked.
'Yes.' She responds telepathically, her beautiful voice echoing in my head.
'This shall certainly make talking to others easier, who all would I be able to talk to like this?' I asked in the same way.
'Anypony. regardless of kind. They would only need to think about you when responding to be able to talk to you in the same manner.' She responded.
"Thank you Luna. This will certainly come in handy. And if that's the case, when you've decided on my offer to take you out sometime, just send me a message via the telepathy. See you around Luna." I spoke giving her a final hug then stepping up onto the balcony itself, facing her, and leaned back, with my arms outstretched falling down, going straight down.
Luna had rushed to the edge and looked over the edge to see me hurdling toward the ground far below, and I decided to have a bit of fun, and when I was just a foot above the ground, I pulled up and my aura surged as I flew back up, performing a few rolls and high enough to be equal with her balcony, and gave her a wave as I flew away, heading back toward Ponyville.
I saw a familar cyan blur with a rainbow trail speed by and followed it smirking as I knew it was Rainbow Dash. I sped up as I caught her draft and tapped her on the back.
"Hey Dashie!" I called as I flew next to her, she looked at me and blinked.
"Wow. Your fast if you can keep up with me." She responded with a smirk.
"Heh, Oh so sure of your speed Dashie? How about a little race action?" I ask responding with a smirk of my own.
"Ok, and stop calling me 'Dashie' only Pinkie Pie calls me that. Besides, if we were in a relationship then you could, because it would make sense." She said, blushing a little, most-likely embarrassed that I was calling her by the pet name her friend used.
"Ok, how about this, if I win, I get to call you 'Dashie' if I want to, if you win, then I won't call you Dashie unless you say I can." I proposed.
"Deal, first one to my house wins, it's right over there!" She said pointing with a hoof at the large house that looked like it was made out of clouds.
"Wow. READY SET GO!" I said at first awe struck by it's beauty, then getting it out of my head to wait until after the race, and I boosted ahead.
"GO!" She calls out and she does the same.
Rainbow Dash flapped her wings harder, catching up to me and just barely edging me out and getting a lead, I flew faster, making the race in flight be pure neck-in-neck. We flew closer and closer to her house, and it was still anypony's race. I flew faster, and I saw a speed cone forming showing I clearly had broken the sound barrier atleast. I glanced over at Rainbow Dash and saw she had one as well, and she was flying faster, and hers was extending to a point, I tried to focus, and fly faster, to match her speed, my own speed cone coming to a point. What happened next, was a shock to me, and to her. She suddenly shot forward, faster than mach 5 or mach 10 I don't know how fast she was going from that, but she was SPEEDING, if Sonic the Hedgehog was here, he'd be jealous for sure. in her place behind me, was a circular rainbow wave, that was expanding.
"What was that?!?" I called out after she flew ahead and landed at her house.
"The Sonic Rainboom!" She called back with a look of pride and satisfaction on her face.
"Awesome. I wonder if I can do it." I responded curious.
"No way, I'm the only one who can!" She replied clearly doubting I could.
"Let's find out!" I yelled out as I pushed the speed cone I had further, hoping I could do the same thing she did.
"Allons-y!" I cried out remembering something I heard from a VERY old friend once..
Suddenly, I felt the tell-tale feeling of myself bursting through barriers of sound, going atleast mach 10 and I landed at Rainbow's house landing on the cloud and looked behind me at what I had just done, a circular rainbow was extending just like hers, except mine seemed to have some flames dancing along it as well. I looked back at Rainbow and she was sitting on her haunches, her mouth was wide open. I was surprised her jaw didn't just bust through the cloud floor we were on given the look of shock on her face.
"Y...You did...a Sonic...RAINBOOM?!?" She asked clearly surprised.
"I think so..." I answered, not entirely sure myself, but it sure looked like I did.
"You know what, I know I won the race, but you can call me 'Dashie' anytime you want considering you pulled off a Sonic Rainboom like that." She told me with a happy smile.
"Thanks Dashie." I responded, and put a hand on her head running my fingers through her mane.
"What are you doing?" She asked me.
"Oh...uhh. Sorry, reflex..." I answered, slightly nervous.
"It's ok. That felt kinda nice." She responded.
"Oh, well. Hey mind giving me a tour? This house of yours is shocking AWESOME." I told her, blown away by how amazing it was.
"I'd be honored too Red." She told me and trotted inside, with me walking after her, having some shaky steps as I was on clouds, but I got used to it.
I looked around in awe at the sight that was the home of Rainbow Dash. To say it was amazing would be an UNDERSTATEMENT.
"Rainbow, I'll be honest, this is the most AWESOME. HOUSE. EVER. OF ALL TIME." I stated loving the place.
"Thanks, I know it is, it's awesome just like me!" She stated motioning to herself with a hoof.
"Actually, you think I could stay here with you? Since I'm staying on this planet after all. It'll keep me away from any real prying eyes, unless it's a Pegasus who's trying to find me." I asked, a little nervous, as I loved the place, and I hoped she didn't mind.
"Sure." She replied with a smile.
"Awesome, so, where do I sleep?" I asked, as I pretty much had all my things, but I would check Rarity's place later, as I believe I had left my armor and such there.
"You can sleep with me." She told me, walking toward what I believe would be her room, which I followed her in.
"Wait WHAT?!? Sleep with you? Surprising answer, I'd be happy to sleep with what I believe is the most awesome pony, second ONLY to the Princess of the Night!" I told her, prideful.
"Heh, understandable, Nopony is as awesome as Rainbow Dash. Royalty like the Princesses don't count, because of royal factor, that's the only way they are more awesome than me." She replied, puffing her chest out to look awesome, which she did VERY easily.
We walked into her room and my jaw probably could have broken through the cloud floor, HUGE room, and a bed big enough for myself, her, and atleast 2 other ponies, one maybe the size of an alicorn like Luna or Celestia, and maybe even one the size of a foal. Normally, that wouldn't be possible, but it was made out of CLOUDS, so it gets a rating of 20 out of 10 on the awesome meter. Also, when you have powers that let you do ANYTHING with fire, and were planet hoping for quite a while like I was, coming across a planet with talking anthropomorphic animals who ran EXTREMELY fast, and one world that looked like it was in the future, using enhanced sets of armor, which if I recall correctly was called 'Mjolnir Mark VI' last I checked, I even have an all black version, with some weapons I got for free as a souvenir from that planet, but I digress, when you've seen things like that, things like this, seem possible, and blow them out of the water.
"Awesome room Dashie, I can't wait to sleep in the bed." I told her, eager to lie in it when I went to sleep.
I looked at a mirror in the room as well, surprised to a degree that it was hanging on the cloud made walls without falling by now, but also, my appearance after I took off my hat having put it back on after we landed. My hair had changed. It was no longer the Jet Black color it was originally, now it was a dark brown color. Also, the style had changed, now looking kinda like Bardock's hairstyle, but with only four spikes stretching out, on the right side, and they were very short, about three spikes drooping down infront of my forehead, all three close to around the center, and a small spike starting to pop out at the left side, just above my ear. the rest of my hair was just straight, and not spiked at all, just looked like it was combed down, it was also possibly due to me wearing my hat, my bandanna was still tied around my forehead the entire time though, which probably helped...maybe I don't know, but I liked this new style, so I am going to keep it.
"Heh. So how much do you like my new hairstyle?" I asked Rainbow, having caught her staring at me as I looked at myself in the mirror.
"A lot, it's awesome, it totally fits you, a lot better than your original hairstyle actually. You look like, 20% cooler than you did before!" She told me, she was clearly impressed.
"So glad you approve, I'm keeping the style." I told her. Her smile shown all the joy she had in me doing so.
I set my backpack down, and opened it up to put my hat in, and too my surprise, I found my armor, and full leather outfit in there as well. This bag was bigger on the inside. This was the Best Bag Ever. Of All Time. I'd go back to my ship tomorrow and pick up the rest of my armor, and assorted things tomorrow, then maybe detonate the ship a safe distance from the town.
"Well...time certainly goes by quick when you had fun doesn't it?" I asked, noticing it was almost night.
"It sure does Red, it sure does." Rainbow said agreeing.
"What an amazing view." I said as I stepped out to the window, looking toward Canterlot, allowing me to see the first Moon Rising on Equestria. It was the most beautiful event I have seen here EVER. Of all time.
I set my backpack off to the side, surprisingly, it didn't fall through. Rainbow explained that the clouds used to make houses, have special magic imbued into them to allow for furniture and belongings to be put on them, such as saddlebags, backpacks, mirrors, TVs, Tables, beds, and so on, she also told me that they clean themselves, so if I were sick, or injured, I wouldn't have to worry about cleaning up puke, or blood. I lied in her bed, starting to drift off, due to it being so comfy as a massive cloud, and she lay next to me. I cover us both in the cloud sheets, which felt very warm, and soon, I felt something snuggle up to me. I look over, and see, you guessed it, Rainbow Dash, with her hooves around me, and she was nuzzling me as well, heh, it was an awesome site, quite cute as well. She's a lot like a saiyan Rainbow Dash, Prideful, competitive, a little thick headed, like me, but she's very loyal, I can say the same thing about me. I closed my eyes, and drifted off to sleep.
"Good Night Dashie." I whispered as I hugged her, setting my arm around her, to keep her close.
"Good Night, Red." She responded, then falling asleep.
I fell asleep, cozy in the bed of clouds, with Rainbow Dash next to me. This was the Best Day Ever. Of All Time.
I wake up and am not surprised to find Rainbow snuggled up to me, she seems to like doing that. I smile knowing that she's happy. I have been spending a lot of time with Luna recently, even took her out a few nights ago. We enjoyed a wonderful dinner underneath her stars. I also discovered something odd, maybe it's just something about Luna's moon, as opposed to Earth's, but, that night we had dinner under her stars, the moon she brought out, was a Full Moon, which would under normal circumstances, transform me into the Oozaru, or Great Ape, but I had her cut off my tail long ago, and that would never happen, HOWEVER, what happened was that I felt an increase in my power by her full moon. Strange, that it did that, but hey, free power up, I'm not complaining.
I slipped out of the bed quietly, and gently stroked Rainbow's mane, then left a note saying 'see you around Dashie' then took off, toward Ponyville. I landed at the spa, as I had started working there recently, giving heated massages after giving one to Rarity and Fluttershy, much to their enjoyment, I had an appointment with Rarity, and I was wearing the new outfit she wove for me a few days ago: a green and red martial arts gi, that had a Red short sleeved undershirt, red boots, a red sash, red wristbands, and a green overshirt similar to a tank top, and green pants. combined with my red headband, it was perfect, then she added two final things to the overshirt that sent it purely perfection: a logo, that was off a full moon, with a flame emblazoned on the center of it, it suited me well, the full moon represented my Saiyan heritage, and the flame would represent my flame powers. I walked in, said hello to Aloe and Lotus, the spa sisters, and saw Rarity waiting for me.
"Right on time Lady Rarity, how have you been doing this fine morning?" I asked, saying hello.
"I've been doing MARVELOUS, darling, these heated massages you give do wonders for me, and everypony else you give them too." She replies happily, eagerly waiting the massage.
"Alright, well, to be honest, I've been doing wonderful recently, though...now...I'm not so sure..." I said, my thoughts drifting to both Rainbow Dash, whom I've come to develop some feelings for, due to living with her, and discovering that she's kinda like me, personality wise, she's like a ponyfied Saiyan, always raring for a fight, loves to challenge herself, and in the case of both myself and her, fiercely loyal to her friends and family. I'm the same way with loyalty.
"Really? Do tell, perhaps talking will help" She said as I help her onto the massage table, and heat up my hands to the same level I use for giving her massages, and begin to massage her back.
"Well, you know how I've been spending alot of time with Luna recently?"
"Yes."
"Well, I have a crush on her if I'm completely honest. Well, the part that gets complicated is that I'm living with Rainbow Dash, and, I've come to develop some feelings for her by doing so, and discovering that she's kinda like me."
"Really? Hmm...that is very interesting darling. I'd love to help you however I can, but, I can't give you any help other than to follow your heart. Both Princess Luna, and Rainbow are amazing Mares, to be sure, but I can't tell you who to love, all I can do is tell you to think it over, and follow your heart. It will lead you in the direction you should go." She told me, after hearing my story.
"Thanks Rarity, your a big help" I told her, as I massaged her shoulders, and forelegs.
"Your most welcome, and I'm glad you liked my newest creation for you darling." She replied, noticing the outfit I was wearing.
"Thanks, I love it, it's so comfortable." I told her, moving back down to massage her flanks.
"Hmm, I believe if your still not sure about those feelings, you should talk with Twilight, perhaps she could help you." She suggested.
"Maybe...I'll try that when I'm done with you, your my only appointment today here." I say smiling grateful for my generous friends advice.
"MMMmmmm Thank you Darling, these massages are to die for to say the least." She sighs, happily, as I finish up her rear legs, and help her down.
"All done. See you around Rarity." I say, holding the door for her, as she leaves, after paying her bill.
"See you later Red, and good luck!" She smiles, waving as I walk away toward Twilight's house.
I arrive, and knock on the door, and enter, when I hear Twilight telling me to do so, and sat down on a chair inside the library which was in a hollowed out tree.
"Hey Twi, I was hoping I could talk to you about something a little...private." I confessed...nervous though, considering what I was going to talk to her about.
"Sure, what is it?" She asked.
"Well, you know how I've been spending alot of time with Luna right?"
"Yeah."
"Well, if i'm completely honest, I've got a crush on her. But it gets complicated, because since I've started living with Rainbow Dash, I've come to develop some feelings for her, and I discovered she's kinda like me, which also doesn't help..." I explained, telling her what I told Rarity.
"Oh my....well, that IS complicated. I don't know what to tell you other than follow your heart, and trust your feelings. Which one do you truly love Red?" she asked.
"I'm not entirely sure, but....if I had to pick one of them...I'd have to say Luna. I love the night, and being able to spend time with the one who makes it, as well as train during it, with the peace it gives, is just a true honor." I explained, remembering the night I shared dinner with her.
"Well, my advice, is to follow your heart, and tell her your true feelings. I know your fiercely loyal to her, but it would be a waste if you ended up dying without the truth being known." She explained.
"Yes....and I'm not going to hesitate, I'm going to tell her today. Thanks Twi." I hug her and wave as I go to leave.
"Your welcome, and good luck with that." She replied, returning the hug and wave.
I took off and fly toward Canterlot, I know Luna would be asleep, but I knew where her room was, and I knew what I was going to do, as she was going to be waking soon anyway. I visited a flower shop before I head onto the castle, and buy a bouquet of Moon Lilies, then after paying for them, I flew up to the balcony where Luna's room is, and waited. A few hours later, I saw her stirring in her bed, and I hid the bouquet behind my back, and quietly snuck into the room. I waited for her to wake and smiled, keeping the flowers behind me, out of her sight.
"Good evening Lady Luna." I quietly spoke, as she woke up.
"AH, who's there?!?" She snapped, jumping lightly due to the surprise of somepony (much less me) being in her room.
"Heh, oh nopony special." I stepped into the light, coming from the balcony, revealing my face, which was lit with a smile.
"OH, it's just you Red. Don't scare me like that." She said with a laugh.
"Come on, how could I resist? I'm probably going to get as bad as your sister at some point aren't I?" I said with a smirk.
"No, Nopony can beat my sister at pranks, she's not called Trollestia for nothing." She giggles, and I join in, laughing, she then notices that I have something hidden behind me.
"What's that behind your back?" she asked.
"Oh nothing much, just a gift for you Luna. I have something to tell you." I explained.
"Which is?" She asked very curious now.
"I ...Love you." I respond, holding out the bouquet of Moon Lilies.
"Oh....Oh my goodness...they look both beautiful, and delicious." She exclaimed, hopping out of bed to look.
"Thank you, I picked them out because they reminded me of you." I explained, blushing slightly.
"As they should, they grow wonderfully during the night" She told me smiling, as she took the bouquet and put them in a vase, in the room, before raising the moon.
I watched her raise the moon
"You do a wonderful job my darling. I love you, and watching you do this." I explain, nervous as I am, I keep myself under control.
"Aww, thanks. In all honesty, your the special somepony I've always wanted, but never found. I'm glad we met...and that you share my feelings." She confessed with a smile.
"Your most welcome Luna, I'm honored to be known as your Special Somepony." I lean over, and give her a kiss, with my lips meeting hers, under the light of her beautiful moon and night.
This was the best day ever. of all time. I had finally confessed my feelings, to the mare I loved, and she accepted, and to top it off, she shared my feelings. I just hope that Rainbow Dash can support me, and will be just as happy when she finds out the news. I can't wait to tell her, but I'll tell her later, for now, I just want to spend the rest of the day and night, with my new marefriend.
We spent the night that would be our official hooking up as a couple, with Luna or as I have started to occasionally call her 'Lulu' prompting a blush from my sweet Princess of the Night every time I called her that, giving me a tour of the castle and it's surroundings, the biggest stop, being the Royal Statue Gardens. The biggest attraction in that garden was naturally, the statue that looked like something out of a Picasso Painting.
"Lulu, what the hay IS that thing?" I asked motioning to the statue, which had a gleeful smile, and looked like it just came out of a blender, with the head of a pony, two different looking antlers, a single fang drooping out of it's mouth, what appeared to be a goatee, the left paw of a lion, the right talon of a griffon or Eagle, two different type of legs, the tail of a dragon, and a bat wing, and a pegasus wing. Quite frankly, it kinda freaked me out, and made me feel on edge.
"heh, That would be Discord, the Spirit of Chaos, and Disharmony." Luna explained, after chuckling, "He used to be the original spirit of Harmony, who's job was, as I'm sure you can guess by his original name, keep harmony, and balance across Equestria."
"And naturally it all went to crap?" I asked.
"Well, yes and no, my dear, You see, he was my first Special Somepony, in a way, We loved each other, but, we'd rarely see each other. Usually we'd only be able to see each other in passing moments when I was to take over for my sister. We were quite the item all those thousands of years ago. But, sadly, he seemed to disappear, for a long time, Tia and I found out that was because, he wanted to find a way to lessen our duties, so that we'd be able to have more time together." She continued to explain.
"Makes sense. When your love is an all powerful goddess, and you don't get to see them often, you generally want to find a way to make more time to spend with them happen right?" I ask, suggesting Discord, or rather, Harmony's reason for disappearing so long ago.
"Indeed, it does in that way. However, he had changed, he looked like he did now, and he was no longer the Harmony that I loved, he was the exact opposite, creating Chaos, and Anarchy. He was then known as Discord. Tia and I had no choice...but...to....stop him...and seal him up..." She had begin to tear up, recounting the story of what had happened all those years ago. I wrapped her in a hug, to comfort her.
"Hey, I'm right here Lulu." I said to her to help her relax.
"Thank you. It was hard on me, to be forced to have to use the Elements of Harmony, which were created to do the job he originally was meant to do, with my sister, to seal him up. While it was hard on Tia, it was hard on me the most, as I'm sure you can see why. Recently, he had broken free again, because after I was exiled to the moon for a thousand years, my and Celestia's bond to the elements had been broken, and when Twilight Sparkle and her friends had gained them, the seal had weakened, and he broke free soon after. He tore apart their friendship, by twisting their minds, making them become the exact opposite of their elements, Applejack lied, Rarity became selfish, Fluttershy became rude, Pinkie Pie had become mean, Rainbow Dash had become Disloyal, and Twilight Sparkle, after seeing all her friends acting like that, and failing to use the Elements to stop Discord, lost faith in herself. After Tia sent back ALL the friendship reports Twilight had sent her, Twilight had read them, remembering what their friendship could do, she saved her friends, turning them back to normal, and they resealed Discord, as you see him now." She explained.
I felt my unforgiving rage burn brightly as I listened to Luna explain the story of Discord. I almost hoped he broke free again, just so I could pummel his flank into the ground, and burn him to oblivion. Almost. After she finished the explanation, we left, as it was getting close to morning. Surprising, as I guess it's true, time flies when your having fun. As we walked away, we both failed to hear a small cracking noise, as a crack appeared on the Discord Statue.
I watched Luna raise the moon, then followed her to her bed, where I gently tucked her in, by covering her in the sheets of her bed, after setting her regalia in the proper places she told me to place them. I gave her a gentle kiss on the head, and left to let her rest. I flew off, toward Rainbow's house, so I could tell her the good news, and landed outside her house, and walked inside.
"Hey Rainbow, what's up?" I say giving her a friendly hug after she trots in, having woken up earlier, when I walked inside.
"Nothing much, what about you? You seem very happy today." She said smiling, returning the hug.
"I just got a special somepony! PRINCESS LUNA!!!" I said excited.
"R-Really? Your going out with Princess Luna?!?" She freaked, though she seemed a bit.....discouraged.
"What's wrong? You don't seem well." I said, worried about my favorite friend.
"It's...nothing." she said quickly returning to her normal self, or on the outside atleast.
I wasn't too sure about it, but I let it pass, and hugged her, then left, to tell the others my choice. I was congratulated by my friends, with Rarity being especially ecstatic.
"Oh Darling, you simply MUST let me handle the attire for the wedding!" She beamed of clear excitement.
"No problem, I was going to ask you to do that anyway, I'll be sure to let you know when we get married once we decide on a date. Should our relationship get that far." I told her.
AJ said she'd handle the catering, and Fluttershy said she'd handle the music, Pinkie said she'd take care of the reception, Oh boy, I was looking forward to this already. I went and told Scootaloo, after finding her, after she left School, with the teacher, Ms. Cheerilee congratulating me as well.
"Hey Scoot, I'm curious, just what are your parents like?" I asked her, walking her home.
"..." She didn't respond.
"...Oh...you don't...have any...do you?" I asked. Her slow, and sad nod was all the evidence I needed.
"Where do I go?" I asked.
"Wha?" She asked, confused.
"Where do I go, to adopt an adorable filly like you?" I said, picking her up, as I continued walking.
"Do....Do you really mean that?!?" She asked, beaming with excitement.
"Shock yeah I do." I said giving her a hug.
"Ponyville Orphanage, actually, Ms. Cheerilee should be there by now." She said, explaining that Cheerilee was both the teacher, and the caretaker of the orphanage.
"So, she's both the teacher, and the caretaker of the orphanage huh? Seems legit." I thought, as I followed her directions to the orphanage.
We arrived at the orphanage fairly quickly, it was just outside the town, it was a large place, that's for sure, though it seemed to be in need of repairs, a few of the windows were boarded shut, and some places had holes in them. I followed Scoot inside, and we went to see Cheerilee.
"Good afternoon Ms. Cheerilee." I said entering the office.
"Hello Red, what a nice surprise." She said, her face clearly showing the surprise that she didn't expect to see me show up.
"Hey I'm going to Adopt somepony here today." I said smiling.
"Oh really? So, who's the lucky filly?" She asked, starting to look through the paperwork.
"Scootaloo." I said, excitement beaming.
"Oh how wonderful, she's needed somepony as a parent for a long time. and as both her teacher, and legal guardian as the caretaker of the orphanage, it's very hard to do in my position." She explained, which I well understood. She's the caretaker of the orphanage, so she's her legal guardian, but she's also her teacher at school, so she can't show favorites like that. She then pulled out Scoot's files, and gave me a pen, with the files.
"Sign Here, here, here, initial here, and your done." She said, pointing a hoof at each place I had to sign, or initial.
"Thanks Cheerilee." I told her, and gave pack the pen, and kept the file, as it was now mine to keep, as her legal guardian.
"Congrats Scootaloo, I'm now your adopted father." I said with pride, hugging my new daughter tightly, which she returned.
"AWESOME!!!" She replied, literally beaming with joy and happiness.
"Come on, why don't we go find Rainbow Dash and tell her the news?" I asked.
"YEAH!!! I WANNA TELL HER!" Scoot beamed, as we walked out
I tucked Scoot into my undershirt, her head was poking out of it, with her front hoofs, just below my neck. I then took off, and started to fly up to Rainbow's house. When we arrived, I stopped, after landing, because, I heard crying...strange, why would there be crying in Rainbow's house I wondered. I set Scoot down.
"Wait here for a bit Scoot, I'm gonna see what's going on alright?" I said, worried as to what was going on.
"Alright dad." She said, as I walked inside.
I looked around, to try and find the source of the crying, and found, to my surprise, RAINBOW DASH, in her bedroom, crying her flank off. She was distraught, Fluttershy seemed to be trying to comfort her, but to no avail, not even FLUTTERSHY could comfort Rainbow it seemed. So now it's my turn, I peeked inside, and Fluttershy saw me, and gave me a sad shake of the head, telling me she couldn't cheer up Rainbow. I nodded, and motioned to myself, to tell her to let me take over, she clearly needed somepony else to try and comfort her. She nodded, and after giving Rainbow a final hug, she left, and told me something that shocked me to the core.
"Rainbow Dash is so distraught, because you chose Princess Luna over her, she loved you. She STILL loves you." My super shy friend explained. I could believe it, she and I were quite alike.
"I see..it makes sense, she and I have quite a lot in common. I'll see if I can comfort her, and calm her down, maybe make some sort of agreement." I told her whispering so Rainbow wouldn't hear me. I gave Fluttershy a hug thanking her for telling me, and snuck into Rainbow's room, being careful to not make a sound, while she cried her eyes out. I slowly, and quietly, sat down next to her, and wrapped her up in a tight hug, tears were coming to my eyes as well, because I didn't want to see my favorite friend crying like this. It was a disgrace-no, that's my Saiyan pride talking. It was horrifying to see Rainbow this upset, and I was going to do whatever I could to comfort her.
"Dashie...SShh..I'm right here. I'm sorry I chose Luna over you, but, My heart belongs with her. However, You will ALWAYS have a special place in my heart, because we have so much alike. So just let it out for now, and use me as your shoulder to cry on." I said quietly, as I hugged her, she continued to cry. She said something then, that surprised me.
"Thank...You...Red." She managed to get out as she cried on my shoulder.
"I love you Rainbow, your my best friend. Again, though my heart belongs to Luna, you'll always be right there with her, as you'll always have a piece of my heart with you. I'll be loyal to both Luna AND you until the day I die. Heck, I'll find a way to be loyal to you from beyond the grave. Now come on, show me that smile I love to see." I said stroking her spectrum mane as I held her close, and let her cry.
She smiled as she looked up at me with those rose eyes of hers, and started to calm down.
"Thanks. Now, I've got something to tell you, or better yet, SHOW you." I said to her, keeping her held close to me, to let her stay calm.
"What?" She said, as she sniffled a bit, before drying her eyes.
"Scoot, come in here please!" I called out. Rainbow Dash raised an eyebrow, looking confused, as I just gave her a smile.
"How the hay did Scootaloo get up here? She hasn't learned to fly yet." Dashie asked, confused as to how the small filly was able to get to her house.
"Take a wild guess Dashie." I told her smirking. The reason Scoot was able to get up there clicked and Rainbow realized I flew Scoot up here.
"Guess what Rainbow!" Scootaloo said beaming with joy when she entered the room.
"What's up Squirt?" Dashie replied, as she looked over at Scoot.
"RED ADOPTED ME!!! I HAVE A FATHER NOW!!!" She shouted, jumping with joy.
"WHAT? Are you kidding me here Red? Did you really adopt her?" Rainbow asked.
"Hay Yeah I did. I like Scoot, she's a good kid, and a good friend. So, when I talked with her for a bit, I found out she had no parents, and I adopted her." I showed Rainbow the proof which was Scoot's adoption papers.
"Proof in paper." I said, after showing them and putting them away, I saw Rainbow's jaw drop open, then she smiled.
"Nice job Red, Very nice. I approve!" She said, smiling brightly.
"Great." We then heard an explosion come from far away.
"What the shock was that?" I asked, looking out the window, to see some smoke coming from Canterlot.
"Oh no...Luna. Rainbow, Let's roll. you get the others, and get up to Canterlot, I have a feeling something is going on there." I said, starting to climb out.
"What about me dad?" Scootaloo asked.
"You stay here, where it's safe Scoot. I just got you, and I don't want you hurt. You could be in danger if you went with us." I explained, taking off, and flying toward Canterlot.
"Your dad's right Scoot. It's probably dangerous there." Rainbow said, agreeing, then flying off.
"Okay then." Scoot said, and started to have fun, both being excited that she was in her hero's house, and she was adopted.
I got to the castle, and was very shocked to see the place in pieces, floating above a Checkerboard ground, and looking like something straight out of a video game... I manage to get to the throne room, and saw that my wish may have come true. Discord had gotten free.
"Well Well Well, what have we here, a Saiyan huh? Ohhh I'm really scared, so your the one that everypony's been talking about huh? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Discord cackled madly.
"Hmph, Indeed I am, Red's the name." I say, then glance over and see Luna. Injured, and I saw blood on Discord's claw hand. My rage burned.
"What did you do to her?" I demanded.
"Oh Nothing much, just a little scratch, for sealing me in that stone prison for thousands of years, after ABANDONING ME!! She also tried to stop me earlier when I got free." Discord yelled.
"Grr...your going to Pay for that." I said.
"Sure, whatever, just let me finish something." He said, as he slowly turned, and approached Luna, who was on the floor, bleeding from a claw mark, on her chest.
"No." I said to myself, as I started to go after him, and punched him, sending his head off his body...
"OH now that's just rude. I told you, I was going to finish something, then I was going to have some fun with you." He snapped his fingers, and his head popped back on perfectly.
"If your aiming to harm Luna, Your going to have to Kill me first." I said, taking a stance, and turning Super.
"Oh very well if I must." He said, with a wicked grin.
He then began to attack me, striking out with his claws, and punches, even trying to whip me with his dragon tail. I countered by grabbing his tail, and swinging him around, and into the wall. I smiled as I walked after him, and started to fire off ki blasts, I wasn't about to let this freak get away with attacking Luna. I stopped blasting and stood there, I heard the doors open soon after, and saw my friends, the bearers enter in the room, who immediately went to Luna, to help her up, and had the elements on, ready for anything.
"Look who's tardy to the party." I said with a laugh, as I looked back at them. and then when I went and started to walk away, I saw something. Discord, was hiding, and then he dashed for Luna.
"NO! UGH..." I gasped out, and teleported in between him and Luna, and was impaled by his left hand, a strike that was clearly meant for Luna. and after he withdrew his hand, he poofed away, to cause more chaos
"Hahahaha, I may have not killed Luna, but I certainly caused her great harm. I'm off to have some fun. Farewell!" He said with a grin as he poofed away.
"No RED!" Luna said as she approached me, I looked up at her and the others, and coughed, blood being spurted out as I did so.
"Don't worry, I'll be back. Lulu...I love you. Rainbow. I'm asking you, no...I'm begging you, Protect Luna. Okay? protect her as if she was your own mother." I said with a weak smile.
"But...I don't have any parents...No matter. I will do as you have asked." She said, crying, as were the rest of the bearers. Luna was crying the most, as she kissed me.
"Goodbye." I said with a smile, as I closed my eyes, and died. My body had faded away, leaving the friends I had made, and my marefriend, crying.
Oh joy, I'm here AGAIN. though strangely, or rather not so, I'm the only one here who's body is NOT a pony shaped one. I'm still standing in Line though. Why the hay am I doing it still? I must get back to save Luna and the others from Discord. I can hear the judge's voice booming from back here.
"Next, Strip, Next, Strip, Next, Strip......Nice." He said
"Recoome Thanks you." A random spirit way ahead of me said. I didn't get a good look at him, nor did I care, all I cared about was getting back to Luna. I stepped out of Line, and started to walk out..
"HOLD IT!" The Judge boomed.
"No way, I don't have time for this, Either you let me go, or I'll burn that precious desk of Mahogany you got there, then all go ALL THE WAY TO MALCIOR 7 AND BLOW IT THE SHOCK UP so you'll never have any of it's Mahogany ever again." I didn't realize this, but I had actually gotten right infront of the massive pony who was the judge, and was eye to eye with him. I backed away, then flew out, with no further resistance, or attempts to stop me.
"Now then." I started to mentally search for Luna's power, or Celestia's Power, I felt it. I felt Luna's but it felt...both stronger, and at the same time...weaker...
"Oh no...she's dying..." I concentrated, and teleported using Instant Transmission to get down there.
(Celestia's POV)
I had seen Red be murdered at the hand of Discord, just moments ago, then his final moments with Luna and the element bearers, and then for some reason or another, he disappeared. Strange, however, I did not expect what happened next. My sister Luna, was an emotional wreck, and why wouldn't she be? Her Special Somepony, which she finally had gotten since the first Discord Incident when we created the Elements of Harmony, had just died not only to save her, but also ironically, at the hand of her first love. But what happened Next, well, was a surprise all it's own. Discord left, and started to terrorize Ponyville, and after crying for a while, Luna started to growl, and change. Her eyes were covered in tears, as she was mad at Discord now, and it was clear, she wanted revenge. Just then, her body changed to black, as black as night her regalia changed, into a sky blue type of armor, her eyes changed, to become more dragon like, she grew taller, and her horn grew longer, and thinner, and her spectral mane and tail changed color slightly. Then she looked at me. Her transformation to Nightmare Moon had completed again. She was overtaken by her emotions. What surprised me next: her first statement to me.
".......Celestia....Let me go...and have my Revenge. I do not care for bringing about Night Eternal, like I did before from the jealousy I had for you. That Draconequus will Pay for killing our Special Somepony. Do not try to attack me, lest you suffer my rage as well." The tears that were in her eyes, proved her truth to me. I nodded.
"Go." I said. and with that, she flew out toward Ponyville. I wondered, if her doing this may cause everypony to not fear her anymore like that....
"Come on girls, We'd better go, Nightmare Moon's free again as well as Discord, and the elements are our only hope." My Faithful Student, Twilight said.
"No girls, This is Luna, or rather Nightmare Moon's fight. do NOT interfere. In her current state of rage, while she may be thankful for the assistance in fighting Discord, she will not hesitate to turn her rage on you. This is one of those times, where you must sit back and watch, as she wants to get revenge for what Discord did to Red, and for what he did to her long ago." I explained. I then told my friends, the story of what had happened, of Discord's original job, and about how he and Luna were originally a pair, and that they fell apart when he turned evil. They listened, nodded, and left, with Twilight telling me one more thing.
"Princess, We're going, to help only if we feel we must." She told me. I nodded.
"Do what your heart tells you is right. But do NOT under any circumstances interfere with the fight between Nightmare Moon and Discord unless you have to. Do NOT attack Nightmare Moon, or she will turn on you." I said, before sending them out. I then followed them, why? Well, My sister just turned to her rage filled persona Nightmare Moon, and rather than try to attack me, she ASKED me to let her go and have some revenge against Discord. I'm totally going to sit and watch the fireworks! Heheheheheh.
(Red's POV)
I appeared high in the skies above Ponyville, as I locked onto her, and I was surprised by what I found, She had turned into a darker version of herself, she was pure black, her eyes, were more dragon like, she wore some azure blue, or sky blue armor, her astral mane and tail were a different color slightly, and her cutie mark looked the same, but rather than being a black starry sky, it was now purple....was this the dark mare known as Nightmare Moon? I floated there, and watched, her fight Discord. While she was certainly a powerhouse, she was both gaining and losing ground, I could also see my six friends standing watch from farther away, with the elements, possibly to jump in if needed, and ...is that Celestia eating some POPCORN OF ALL THINGS??? WHAT THE HAY?!? Anyway, I stood there watching, contemplating what to do next, before I saw Discord knock Nightmare Moon back, hard, with a swift punch from his lion paw, then he grabbed her by the neck with his dragon tail, whirled around, and threw her down, causing her to land with a crash and slide near Twilight and the others, her helmet comes off after wards. That was the final straw for me, I looked closer at Nightmare Moon's body, and saw various cuts, that were still bleeding on her body, legs, and neck, some bruises, and she was clearly in no shape to continue fighting. Why this had happened, I don't know. But I suspect she transformed soon after my death. Well, Time for me to make My entrance.
Red Returns
I dashed down onto the battle field, much faster than I've ever flown before, so fast, I appeared as a blur, and then started to fly around in a circle around Discord, as I saw Twilight and the others start to charge him, cutting them off, and him from them. After making a small blue wind tornado, I stopped, landing facing Nightmare Moon, with my back to Discord and I glanced back at him.
"Sup Bubblegum." I then smirked, before starting to take some steps toward Nightmare Moon's body, as she seemed unconscious.
I glanced over, seeing Celestia and smiled as she fell back with a thump from the seat she was in, and her popcorn dropped down. I knelt down next to Nightmare Moon's head, and gently started to pick it up.
"...mmnngghh...Who...dares..." She starts to say as she wakes up then she gasps when she sees me. Her draconian eyes begin to tear up, more than they appeared to have already been.
"...Is...Is it really you Red?" She asked, clearly seeming in denial that I'm back.
"Yes. Luna, is that you in there... Wha?!?" I asked, then was interrupted when I felt about not only her weight, picking herself up using me to do so, and then she drew me in a huge hug, and then Twilight and the others joined in, after they let go, and I helped Nightmare Moon up, she spoke up.
"..Yes...It's me Red...I ....I didn't want you to ever see me like this. This is the form you have heard of before, called Nightmare Moon. Her spirit awakens whenever I am in immense Emotional stress, such as when Discord killed you earlier.." She explains.
"Which brings me to ask, just how in the hoof are you back?" Twilight says speaking up. She then looks up and notices the halo above my head.
"Wait, are you still dead???" She asked pointing her hoof at it.
"Well, yes, and no. I am technically dead, but I wasn't about to give up my life without saving all of you first. besides, I still have my body, and both my loyalty to my friends, and my Saiyan pride won't let this warrior's body pass on until I finish what I started." I explained. I then heard 7 yelps of pain, as Discord summoned a massive version of his Lion Paw, and knocked aside all of my friends and Nightmare Moon, and yet somehow, completely missed me....wierd. I then heard what sounded like a filly. Scootaloo.
"DAD!!!! HELP ME!!!" She called out from nearby. She was trapped in a large box, about to be lowered into something...what the heck, was that a giant cup of hot chocolate?!? Good lord this guy's crazy.
"Scoot! NO!!!" I looked at all of my friends, and Celestia, who was starting to get up, and saw all of this, then glared at Discord, my rage fuming, yet, I felt...calm...at harmony with the world around me. with Luna, with the others, I closed my eyes, as I turned and faced him, then I punched my right palm, and cracked my neck by leaning it to the right then to the left and opened them, as I stared down Discord.
"You have No idea what kind of trouble you are in." I said in a dark voice my only responce was a wild cackle
"GAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, I'm in trouble?!? Your the one who bothered to return. Besides, I just wiped the floor with the elements of harmony, and Nightmare Moon, the greatest threats to me. You couldn't even kill me last time. And if I kill you now, your gone for good!" He said with a sadistic smirk.
"BEHOLD THE ULTIMATE POWER!!!" I bellowed, as my eyes glown white, with power, I could see him be forced back by the force of my voice....was this what Luna called the Royal Canterlot Voice?
(The Ultimate Power of Red)
I began to power up, and transform, my power going beyond what it did before, as a super saiyan, my hair stood on edge like before, but instead of gold, it changed to an orange hue, the exact same orange that Scootaloo's coat was, My aura darkened as it surged, turning into the same shade of dark sapphire blue that Luna's coat normally was, My eyes changed to a sky blue, like Luna's mane and tail were back when she was younger, from what I saw in dreams Luna gave me, and memories she shown me, and pictures of her from back then that I saw. And then, the final step, Lightning began to surge around my body in my aura, like a Super Saiyan 2's aura, but this lightning, was special, it was Rainbow colored... like the spectrum mane and tail of my loyal friend Rainbow Dash. I smirked, as I glared down at him again, before I spoke.
"I am the Lunar Saiyan. Discord, I'm gonna make you pay." I said as I charged up my right hand with flames, now burning brighter than before, and shot my hand forward, causing a chain spear to come from it, and stab Discord, I grabbed it with both hands, and yanked back.
"GET OVER HERE!" I yelled as I dragged him right up to me, then grabbed his throat.
"Your days of tyranny are over forever." I said as I held him, then kicked him up into the sky with my left leg, I jumped after him, and flew past him, then stopped, and spun around, hitting him with a right roundhouse kick, sending him farther back in the opposite direction, then I flew after him again, and right when he started to right himself, I decked him with a punch to the jaw, I knew I felt his jaw go completely out of joint from it, and he went even farther flying, I chased him down, grabbed his tail, then flew back down to the ground, and slammed him into it spine first. I believe I heard the satisfying snap of some bones. I then performed a few backflips, charged up a blast in my right hand, and fired a massive one handed Kamehameha at him, which had a dark blue outer shell, orange core, and rainbow lightning traveling down it's beam from my hands. He got back up, clearly surprised, and made the mistake to charge me. I grabbed my right wrist, and shouted.
"Vindicta Lunaris!" I cried out, then dashed at him, punched him with my right hand, kicked him higher with an upper kick from my left foot, dashed after him, yelling, punched him again with my right hand, sending him higher, and teleported behind him, locking him in a head lock, and I proceeded to knee him in the back three times, and flipped over, kicking him higher, and I dashed up after him.
"BEGONE!" I yelled, as I brought my hands together, for a double handed smash and knocked him back down to the ground, where he landed with a crash, and a crater appearing. I dashed after him, and he tried to gut me again with his talon, but I thought he may try it again, and I caught it, then with a sadistic smile, I twisted, and yanked, ripping it off, causing his blood to spill, and make a streak of red onto the ground., as he screamed in pure pain, he then flew far into the air, both in pure terror, and rage.
"YOU INSIGNIFICANT, IMPERTINENT IMPETUOUS WHOOOOOOOOOOOOORE!" He screamed.
"U MAD BRO?" I said as I charged up a blast in my right hand standing where I was.
"VOLATILE THANKS FOR ASKING!" He shouted as he charged his lion paw with pure magic, and fired a massive blast at me.
"THEN MAYBE YOU SHOULDN'T CAUSE SO MUCH DISCORD!" I shouted back launching mine, and they clashed, as I steadily pushed his back with little to no effort.
"I AM DISCORD...Wait..I get it NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" He yelled as he was consumed by the blast and obliterated.
"Ha... amateur." I said as I put down my hand, then walked over to Nightmare Moon, who seemed to be in pain, and set a hand on her, and started to put in some of my own power, and she was healed, and she woke up, surprised to see my new form. I smiled at her, as I started to feel weak, as my time remaining outside of the otherworld it seems was drawing short. Twilight seeing this, and seeing me with Nightmare Moon, gathered the rest of the element bearers, who were standing back up, and charged them, as Nightmare Moon backed away, most likely out of fear.
"What?!? NO!!! DON'T!" I said but the massive rainbow that came from the elements attack sprang forth, from them, and it went toward Nightmare Moon, with the last of my new found and still fading strength, I dashed between it and her, and took the blast. Everypony there watched in horror, as I started to glow, then, when it stopped, I dashed into the air, and set off a massive explosion wave to burn off the excess power, which came out as a massive rainbow wave, similar to the Sonic Rainboom, with a bunch of smaller rainbow explosions happening inside of it as it spread out. after that, I reverted back to normal, my energy now drained, and fell to the ground, with Luna, who had changed back to normal out of shock of what I had done, catching me with her magic, and lowering me to the ground. Where I rested, before waking soon after.
"Ugh...what the hay?" I ask, as I start to sit up, I felt different, like my body wasn't as dense as it was before, when I was dead...
"Am I alive?" I asked stupidly, and I felt above my head, and to my surprise, I didn't feel a Halo above it. then I notice something. On my upper arms, a mark, had appeared, a Full Moon, with a flame emblazoned in the center of it.
"What the shock? DID I JUST GET A CUTIE MARK?!?" I cry out, as I stand up, looking at it. The others couldn't believe it as well, and they all hugged me, Scoot jumping over everypony else, and tacklehugging my neck, having been fried by me destroying Discord. I hugged them all back tightly. Happy that both I was alive again, and I had gotten by some miracle, a Cutie Mark.
"What does it mean dad?" Scootaloo asked me.
"I'm not sure, but If I had to guess, the full moon represents my saiyan heritage, and huh?" I looked closer at it, and there was something else on it, a Moon Lily. It was in the center of the flame. Yet it was not being burned by it.
"The full moon must represent my Saiyan background, the flames represent my flame powers, and the Moon Lily, no doubt represents the beautiful Luna, who I love and because the flame surrounds it, and doesn't burn it, they must represent my burning loyalty and devotion to her, and how I'm willing to protect her no matter what." I said, going out on a limb. Celestia and Luna looked closely at it, and nodded, smiling, agreeing with my explanation of it.
That night, we all went to Canterlot, and celebrated with Doughnuts, and some hot cocoa, as it was starting to become cooler outside. Boy was it all good, and in the throne room, I now had a window painting of my own, of me, in this new Lunar Saiyan form, destroying Discord. Finally, I lied down in the bed with Luna at my side, sharing a room with her again, and now, Scootaloo was lying on my chest curled up behind her tail, so adorable. I set a hand on her, kissed her head, then kissed Luna, and drifted off to sleep.
It's been a few weeks since I destroyed Discord, and got brought back to life at the same time. So far, I've been living in Equestria for about.....10 months I believe, though I could be miscounting, however, that is not important. I've been seeing things, strange things happening recently, for instance, I went by Twilight's house recently, to study up on stars, and the moon, as I heard Celestia tell me that Luna's birthday was coming up soon, and I had something special planned if I could pull it off. I even tried to learn some magic, and to my surprise, I began to perform some magic, how? I couldn't be able to tell you even if I wanted to. It's like Pinkie Pie, i can't explain how I was able to start using magic, if I HAD to give an explanation, though, I'd say that it's because I've lived here in this magical land for so long, I've absorbed some magical energy, or the blast I took from the elements of harmony, saving Nightmare Moon in the process, had some residual effect, of giving me the ability to use magic. Anyway, I was visiting her, to study the stars, and moon, and all of a sudden, when she tried to give me some books with her magic, they went flying at nearly 300 miles per hour, her magic was going out of control. She managed to control it after a few seconds, but, we were both shocked by that. I..I have no idea what happened there...but...I'm starting to suspect something.
I saw a royal guard approach me.
"Red, your presence is requested in the throne room, by both of the Princesses." He said.
"Understood, thank you soldier." I said, before heading off. I arrived soon after, and walked inside. and bowed, finding the princesses sharing a cup of tea together. This was a rare and yet, common occurrence, it was common, because Celestia and Luna would share meals, and tea time together, it was rare, because very few would be asked to join them. like I was..
"You may rise, Red, please, join us." Celestia asked calmly, and sweetly.
"Thank you Celestia" I said, taking a seat next to Luna, whom I hugged, and got a cup of tea from.
"And thank you darling." I said, taking the cup from her. She returned my hug, and nodded, after giving me the cup, and filling it.
"So, what's going on?" I asked, curious as to why I was called now, granted, I don't mind spending time with Luna, but, to be called by them, is quite curious to me.
"Well, I received a letter from Twilight recently, that while you were at her home, researching, her magic went out of control for a few seconds. Is this correct?" Celestia asked.
"Yes it is, and...I think I know why..." I said, continuing to ponder the reason myself.
"What may it be pray tell." Luna asked.
"Well..." I said standing up, and walking a few steps away. "I believe we are witnessing the long lasting effects on having no chaos what-so-ever in the kingdom." I said.
"What do you mean by that Red?" Celestia asked, clearly confused by my explanation.
"Simple, yet complicated at the same time, dear Tia. What I mean, is that this world, thrives on Harmony, and well, as much as you'd hate to admit it, Harmony can only exist when there is Chaos. Chaos and Harmony, they are two sides of the same coin, much like you and your sister, control the day and night, or like how light and darkness are two sides of the same coin. you can't have one, without the other. If you did, there would be massive consequences. I believe that because I destroyed Discord, I effectively wiped out Chaos from this world, and while that may be a good thing, it's causing the Elements of Harmony to go out of control due to the lack of chaos. Such as Twilight's magic to go out of control, because Magic is her element. That being said. I'm afraid, we must find a way to create, a NEW element of Chaos. To restore the balance, and prevent anything else from going wrong." I explained. I then, sat back down next to Luna, and took a sip of my tea. It tasted wonderful.
"That.....seems to make some sense..." Celestia said, after I finished my explanation.
"Indeed it does sister. As much as we hate to admit it, Equestria will need Chaos in order to survive. If the elements of harmony are indeed going out of control, as Red believes, the world could be in danger unless the balance is restored. But...." Luna said before trailing off, I knew why, it was because of Discord, he used to be her lover, when he was known as Harmony, then when he became Discord, it wounded her heart, she was upset. She was hoping, that I wouldn't turn evil, or become something she could no longer love if we were to do this.
"Well, Who would be worthy of such a power?" Celestia asked looking at me.
"......Me..." I said after taking a sip of my tea. This clearly caught Luna and Celestia off guard, as they were shocked.
"No....Red, darling, I...I don't want to lose you too. I lost my first love the same way, when Harmony became corrupted, and turned evil, becoming Discord. I don't want to lose you the same way." Luna begged me, tears in her eyes.
"I won't. and you won't. But I'm the only one here who has the power to even control the chaos powers, you should know that just as much as I do. We have no other option. it's either send me to get those powers, or let the planet destroy itself due to the overflow of harmony, as the elements go out of control. So. What do I have to do to gain the powers?" I asked, looking at both of them, before kissing Luna, to reassure her.
"Go to the ruins of our old palace in the Everfree forest, inside, you will find seven gems, called the Chaos Emeralds, bring them back here to us, and we will conduct the spell to give you the chaos powers. We don't know what will await you inside that forest, you may be tested by the spirit of Harmony and chaos, Discord, to make sure your worthy of the powers." Celestia told me. I nodded, and stood. I then left, and headed out.
I arrived at the Everfree Forest, and had began to venture inside. I explored, looking around, before, I finally saw what appeared to be old castle ruins.
"Here it is..." I said to myself, as I walked in, and soon after, I was nearly blinded by a bright light. I shielded my eyes, and when the light had died down, I saw, an alicorn...with a pure white flowing mane, and tail, but its coat, was a beautiful gold., When he spoke, I recognized his voice instantly. It was Discord. The fact that he still seemed to live pissed me off.
"Hello again Saiyan. What a pleasure to see you once more." He said, though, he seemed, kinder....than he was before. Last time I saw him, he spoke manipulatively, deceitful, in lies, and so on, but this time...not so much.
"Discord....hmph. I'm surprised your still around." I said with a frown.
"I am not Discord. I am Harmony. His original form. It's thanks to the overflowing harmony, that I am able to be here. I will test you, to see if you are worthy of my powers." He explained.
"Very well. Let's have your tests." I said. Harmony then stomped a hoof, and a table appeared, with many weapons, mainly blades of some kind, on it.
"Choose your weapons, and enter the next chamber." He said, and faded into a doorway. I scanned the table, and some weapons caught my eye. though I probably wouldn't need them, due to my own powers, I decided to take them anyway. I chose the dual blades, that looked like giant keys, one white, and one black they were labeled as Keyblades, with the white one called Oathkeeper, and the black one called Oblivion. and I found two green orbs, labeled as spirit weapons. when I picked them up, I saw them change into green tomahawks, then into green knives, and then into a green bow and arrows. Finally, I picked up a blade weapon, that had a small crystal on the end of the hilt, that was shaped like a crescent moon, and was blue, like Luna. it was labeled as the Magi Staff...satisfied, I took them and walked into the next room.
"Oh my..." I said as I noticed what was infront of me. 100 clones of Discord. as I had seen him before. I then smirked.
"Okay...So who's first?" I said, as I readied Oathkeeper and Oblivion. I then heard Harmony call out.
"This will test your tenacity. your will to keep fighting. I have captured your family, Princess Luna, Scootaloo, and Rainbow Dash, and put them in the next chamber. if you can get through this army, your next trial will await." He said, before laughing, and disappearing. At this point, my rage was fuming again. My mind felt like it was going to fragment, as I heard voices raging in my head, to end Discord, to go back, to turn back, and forget this stupid idea, or to leave the planet to it's fate, or to blow up the planet. I then heard Harmony speak again.
"And this test will also test your will of mind. Will you be able to keep your mind clear and ignore the voices I'm giving you as you fight your way through them?" He said laughing.
The Test of Tenacity and Will of mind.
I jumped down from my perch, above the army, as they began to fly towards me, I instantly got to work, slashing the ones that got in my way to pieces, with Oathkeeper, and Oblivion. I slashed upwards on one, right between it's legs, then diagonally up left, on another one, I stabbed one from behind, then stabbed it's head and tossed it away. I then switched to the Spirit energy, and formed it into two knives, and began to stab, and slice my way through them, before changing it into the dual tomahawks, and hacking and chopping up a good amount of them. Finally, I switched to the Magi Staff, which was in blade mode, though it also had an axe mode. The entire time I was fighting this army, I could hear voices in my head, telling me to be brutal, or sadistic, or just cold and calculating in my attacks, or even to not fight them at all. I ignored them. I would not let anything tell me what to do. I faced off with the final clone, and I had a special thing planned for it. I switched to the green spirit bow, and fired two arrows at it, shooting it with an arrow to the knees. I then switched back to the Magi Staff in blade mode, and looked up seeing the moon shining down. I saw the crystal on the hilt glow blue, as the blade charged up with energy, as I tilted the blade back, getting into a stance.
"Getsuga." I said to myself, as the blade charged up, and began to glow, creating a longer and wider blade, from the energy it was radiating.
"TENSHOU!" I shouted as I spun around, and slashed upwards, sending a wave of energy at the final Discord clone, which struck it and obliterated it in a massive explosion of energy, shaking the entire room, leaving the room in ruins. I dashed for the door, and punched it hard with my right hand, sending it into the next room, flying off it's hinges, and shattering it into splinters at the same time. I stepped through, and hugged Luna, Rainbow Dash, and Scootaloo who were all together.
"RED!" They shouted as they returned the hugs. We all heard Harmony clapping, as he sat off to the side.
"Bravo. Bravo Red, wonderful performance. You now have one final test." He said.
"The Test of Loyalty." He said, as he disappeared, and far away, I saw another humanoid shape, then blinked.
"No way...it's impossible." I said to myself as I stood. I began to approach the figure.
"Red...it's been a long time my old friend." He said,
"Bardock. It has. it's good to see you." I said to my old mentor, shaking his hand. I brought him to my family and friends in the room.
"Bardock, this is my girlfriend, Princess Luna, the mare of the moon, My daughter, Scootaloo, and my best friend, Rainbow Dash." I said motioning to each one. He was surprised by them, but bowed before Luna, showing respect. He also smiled at Dashie, when he saw her similarities to a saiyan, such as myself and him. He then smiles darkly, as he shoves me aside, and prepares to attack, as Luna, Dashie, and Scoot backed away.
"Bardock, what the hay are you doing?!?" I shouted, as I stood, having been knocked down from him shoving me away.
"This planet now belongs to Frieza, Now I'm going to exterminate the inhabitants, so we may conquer it." He stated darkly. He then turned to me. "STAND DOWN Red. Since your clearly too weak to do that, I'll do it myself." He said as he started to dash at Luna.
"NO." I said as I appeared infront of him, catching his fist. I then glared at him as I powered up, and changed into my new Lunar Saiyan form. "I won't let you hurt my family! Or my friends." I said as I spun around, and threw him back.
"Very well, If that is what you wish." He said darkly, then got into a stance as he prepared to fight me.
"I will not let you or anyone harm my friends, or destroy my new home." I said, getting into a stance of my own.
"I am Loyal to my friends and family. I will never abandon them." I said.
"I'm getting a piece of that guy!" Rainbow said as she started to speed past me. I grabbed her tail as she sped past me then swung her back to Luna, who caught her, and held her in her magic.
"No, Dashie. This is MY fight. You guys wouldn't stand a chance against him, because if I were to go rogue and attack you all, and the planet, there would be nopony, or no force that could stop me. so the same applies to him, I'm the only one who can stop him." I said.
"A piece of Garbage, Not even worth fighting!" Bardock shouted, as he got ready to attack.
"Give it your best shot, I can handle that and more!" I said, as I prepared to do the same.
Student Vs Teacher, Red Vs Bardock
He dashed at me cluching his right wrist, for his Final Revenger Technique, I dashed at him with a similar pose, and intercepted him, and we clashed, rapidly trading punches and kicks, blocking and attacking faster than any normal pony, or person could track, we were on a level all our own. He then slipped up, as I leaned back to dodge one attack, and countered with a swift punch, then grabbed his head, rammed it into my right knee, spun around, hitting him with my left elbow, then spun back around, hitting him with a roundhouse kick from my right leg. I teleported behind him as he flew back, my back facing him, then I turned around, punching him hard with my right fist, kicked him higher into the air with a backwards upper kick, then jumped higher, grabbing him, and twisting him around, and coming down, landing and going to a knee, holding him in a position that would have busted his spine from the fall, having one hand on his leg, and one hand on his chin. I tossed him up, and roundhouse kicked him in the spine again, causing further damage.
He stood up, and his armor was damaged already, he then smirked.
"Not bad, your much better than before, and impressive power. Now, time for me to step up." He said before powering up to Super Saiyan.
"Alright then old friend, Let's go!" I said, as I dashed at him.
Full Power Fight
I Dashed at him, and had crouched down, and elbowed him, dashed after him, unleashing a flurry of kicks, then punched him in the stomach, and elbowed him down into the ground, and jumped above him, and unleashed a Kamehameha into his back. I landed, and after he recovered, and attacked me with some swift kicks, punches, and some hard hitting elbows, I moved to the side, grabbed his leg, and began to spin, and threw him into the wall, and then I proceeded to beat him into the bricks of the wall, pummeling him into it. I then grabbed his head, ripped him out of it, and dashed at the other wall, and slammed his head into it, HARD. leaving him stuck neck deep in the wall.
He pulled himself out, and fell to his knees, powering down.
"I concede. You did well old friend. I'm proud to have taken the offer, so I could have a chance to fight you." He said.
"What." I said, stunned. I powered down, going back to normal.
"I was approached by a strange golden horse creature, that called itself 'Harmony' and was asked to test your loyalty to your new friends and family here. I accepted when I realized it meant I could fight you again. I was told to act like I still served Frieza, and was going to kill everyone on this planet, so that it could be conquered, that way I would get you to unleash your full power, which might I add, was amazing." He explained. I listened, and nodded as I understood, and helped him up.
"It was an honor to fight you again my master." I said bowing to him like a martial arts student would, which he returned the bow. "I hope I see you again sometime." I said, as I waved, as Harmony approached, and sent him back to his home.
"Congratulations Red. You have proved yourself worthy of the powers of Chaos. Take those emeralds. and they will give you the power." He said as he pointed a hoof at the seven multi-colored jewels on an alter. I took them, and after Harmony faded away, I went with my family back to Canterlot, carrying Scootaloo, and flying alongside Luna and Rainbow Dash.
We arrived, and walked into the throne room, where Celestia, and Twilight, Fluttershy, Rarity, Pinkie, and Applejack were waiting, with their elements, and Rainbow was given hers after she landed. They stood in a circle around me, after I stood in the center, and Celestia and Luna picked up the Chaos Emeralds with their magic, and put them in a circle around me. and then they stepped out of the center, and off to the sides, taking Scoot, and Luna sat her on her back. Their horns began to glow, as they chanted, Saying the spell chant used to give me the Chaos Powers.
The Ceremony
"Ifaras Zaras Yezaras....Ifaris Zaris Yezarik..." they chanted, as their horns glowed, Celestia's glowing golden, and Luna's glowing a cobalt blue, and they shot a beam of magic at the emeralds, and me, with Twilight and the others doing the same with the elements of harmony. Soon the Chaos Emeralds glowed, and began to float up, and circle around me, as I did the same, floating up a few feet above the ground, and I began to spin, and then the emeralds merged with me, granting me the Chaos Powers, and I began to glow a sandy golden yellow, my body seeming to fade, and leak energy I recognized this, as a very old friend of mine, who was called a Time Lord, and called himself 'The Doctor' had something similar to him happen when he was about to die. He called it a 'Regeneration'...Was I about to die? NO, I thought to myself, I was NOT about to die not when we're so close, and not while Luna still would need somepony. I concentrated. on absorbing the power of the Chaos Emeralds, and soon, my body let off a large explosion of power, burning off the excess energy., as I recovered from the power granting, and I landed, panting, but I recovered quickly. I then looked up at Celestia and Luna, and bowed.
"From this day forward, I am the Element of Chaos in this world, and I pledge myself, to use these new chaos magic powers for the good of everypony. I won't use them to cause general havoc, and to spread mayhem like Discord did. I shall use them to protect others. To help everypony. I pledge myself to thy rule, I shall take my orders directly from Princess Luna. I will only take orders from her, unless she is unable to give them to me, be it due to sleeping, or she is away on royal business. Then I shall be taking orders from Princess Celestia." I said, vowing the use of my power to the royal sisters. They nodded, and bowed at the same time.
"Rise, Red, The Saiyan of Chaos." Celestia and Luna said together, after they rose. I did the same smiling broadly. This was the beginning of a new life for me. We celebrated, as Twilight, Celestia and Luna could feel the powers of the elements of harmony, shrinking down to a normal level, and we partied for a while that night. I left with Luna back to bed, to rest, as the ceremony and spell that gave me the powers took alot out of both Celestia and my marefriend, as well as me and the mane 6, as Twi and the others have come to be called by various citizens. Twi and the others got their own guest chambers in the castle, which they were spending the night in, Celestia had retired to her quarters to rest, and Myself, Scootaloo, and Luna were resting in her bed, so we could recover together. I soon felt something else cuddle up beside me in the bed, and low and behold, it's Dashie. She snuck into the room, and climed into the bed, and curled up with me, Scoot lying curled up on my chest, and Lulu lying on my right, with me having an arm around her. I drifted off to sleep, in the comfort of my family.

WARNING CHALLENGER APPROACHING A Sibling Reunion
A/N: Ok, now that I've gotten Red's special stuff done (for now, there may be more if I chose to) we can get to the good stuff. We're starting on the events of the show now! naturally, we're starting on Season 3, but I may have a repeat of stuff from Season 1 and 2 if I desire. That being said, let's get on with the fun.
A Saiyan In Equestria
I awoke with a start, after hearing some Solar Guards bash on the room door in an attempt to wake Luna and myself. I get up and instantly bash them into the wall, and each other after opening the door in a way that would hit them.
"WHAT THE HAY DO YOU TWO WANT?!?" I demanded. Luna standing right next to me with the same annoyed look.
"Sorry Sir. But Princess Celestia has requested the presence of Princess Luna, it's an important matter." One of them said. I glanced over at Luna.
"What pray tell is this important matter?" She asked.
"It...has returned." The other guard said.
"It?" I asked, looking to Luna.
"Oh my...We must be going Red." She said, as she left hurrying for the throne room, I followed, as Rainbow had already taken Scootaloo back to Ponyville with her.
We arrived in the throne room, finding Celestia looking out a window, off toward the northern end of the planet. She seemed deep in thought. We both approached.
"What's going on Celestia?" I asked, as Luna approached and looked out in the same direction.
"The Crystal Empire has returned. I'm sending Twilight and her friends to go and assist Princess Cadence and Shining Armor in protecting the Kingdom, and saving it." Celestia explained.
"The Crystal Empire is home to some very powerful magic my sister, it must not fall again. Are you sure you don't want me to assist as well?" Luna asked.
"I am sure my sister, Twilight and her friends will succeed." Celestia responded.
"Of course they will. They've got me to help." I said, standing next to Luna, facing them both, receiving an annoyed glance from Celestia.
"No. You won't be going. YOU must stay here to guard my sister, and I incase something comes to attack." She said.
"You can't be seri-What the shock?!?" I said glancing back toward the window, toward the northern area of the planet, just like they were.
"What is it hon?" Luna asked, as Celestia looked with confusion.
"I feel...something out there...something STRONG. and it's getting me excited. it's sending chills down my spine. Looks like I'll be going anyway." I said with a smirk glancing back at Celestia and Luna, who nodded, and I went to leave to prepare for the journey, before looking back "Looks like I get to test out my new Chaos Powers more." I said. I had been training my Chaos Powers for a little while now, as I was also preparing for Luna's Birthday, which was in a few days. I received a nod from Celestia, showing her approval, and I left, holding the door for Twilight, who entered soon after, and Luna left as Twi entered.
"Hello Red." Twilight said to me, having her saddlebags on, which were filled so full, I'm surprised they hadn't burst by now.
"Hey Twilight." I said, before closing the door after Luna left, and ran back into our room, getting my gear prepared for the journey ahead of me. With a possible hard fight as well. After a while, I found my old Ocarina, which i used to play all the time, in my spare time. I began to play it again, playing a melody that fit a song I could hear Twilight singing outside, with Spike and her friends, though I confess, I played a few...sour...notes...anyway, I got packed and ready, packing my Ocarina as well, who knows, it may come in handy. I arrived at the train station, to see that the train wasn't working. After ordering Twi and the others to get on, and telling them the news that they've got me on their side as an assist, I walked to the back of the train, and started to push. I then continued, till it started to get moving, I then punched it as hard as I could, and it went off at it's natural speed, working again.
"Alright then." I said, as I sifted through my memories, and found a black and green motorcycle, and used my Chaos Powers to create it, and then hopped on, and drove off after it.
I drove next to the train and waved at the others, while I drove ahead of it, and off toward the frozen north, as I did, I continued to feel that strange presence, that sent chills down my spine, those feelings got worse, as I crossed over into the arctic. I was getting closer, and this presence, was new...and yet...familiar, like I'd known it my entire life.
The Train and i arrived at the station, and we were greeted by Shining Armor, who had arrived to escort us, we started walking back to the blue barrier in the distance, when we heard a sound, a roar... I turned around, and saw a shadowy creature.
"What the shock is that thing?" I asked.
"King Sombra, the Unicorn king who was sealed away by Celestia and Luna, to prevent him from controling the Crystal Empire 1000 years ago." Twilight said. I promptly laughed.
"Alright then, get going, I'll cover you." I said when I prepared to strike, when a large Icicle suddenly burst forth and landed right at my feet, and dispersed the shadowy form of King Sombra for the moment, and I saw a figure land in it's place, as tall as me, and looked similar to me. With a cutie mark on his upper arms, that shown a rainbow, with an Icicle and a lightning bolt of rainbow colors inside it. and he wore Goku's Gi, like mine, but it was different, it was black on red, rather than being orange on blue. his hair was exactly like Goku's, except it was snow white, and the spikes that drooped down over his forehead were red, that feeling i felt that sent chills down my spine was going stronger than ever, when the figure spoke.
"Hello Red...my...brother." he said with a voice as cool as ice. He then dashed at me, and punched me in the stomach, sending me flying before I flipped myself over, and landed.
"Who...wait...I recognize you now. AURON!" I yelled, as I dashed back, and punched, kicked, assaulted him, fighting back.
(Luna's POV)
I could sense a battle erupting and something going on with Red up in the arctic north near the Crystal Empire. I spread my wings, and used my magic, and warped there, arriving to find him fighting with another humanoid creature, but, Red seemed to be smiling, like he hadn't seen this person for a long time. I stepped over, to separate them, and I spread my wings, to prepare the Royal Canterlot Voice.
"BE STILL!!!" I commanded, the channel of air and wind used by the Royal Canterlot Voice separated Red and the mystary man for a moment before they stopped fighting.
(Rainbow's POV)
I heard the familiar yell of Princess Luna outside the empire. What the hay was she doing out there?!? To top it off, I heard fighting out there a while ago, and saw snow flying as if Red was fighting with all his might. I had to see this. I flew away, and checked out the area, landing by Luna.
"What the hay is going on?!?" I asked curious.
(Red's POV)
"I glanced over then my eyes widened, shocked that LUNA had shown up, and so did Rainbow Dash, I quickly bowed before Luna, as did my brother Auron. We both then rose.
"Lulu, what brings you here?" I asked approaching her and giving her a hug. She returns it.
"Darling, Who is that man, I felt his presence sometime after you left, and it felt like something was going on with you. So, I came to investigate." She explained. Rainbow told us she came to find out what the fighting and Luna's arrival was about.
"This, is Auron, my brother." I said, motioning to him. "We've been known as the 'Elemental bros' for years, because I controlled fire, he controlled ice." I explained, he then turned to me.
"Hey bro, incase your wondering, Bardock told me you were here, and thus, that's how I found you. I came here to help you anyway I can. Besides, I wanna see how strong you've gotten since we last saw each other." He said.
"Sure, check this new transformation out." I said, before transforming into the Lunar Saiyan form, with my hair standing on edge, and turning orange, my aura changed into the same shade of blue that Luna's coat was, my eyes changed to be a sky blue color, like her mane and tail were when she changed back from Nightmare moon, and I had rainbow colored lighting surrounding me.
"Nice." He said "But I bet you can't beat me like this." He said, before charging up, past Super Saiyan 2, and his aura glowed a rainbow of colors, as his hair turned pure white, and stood on edge.
"Wonderful." I said, whistling in approval. "But even you should know brother, you may have been a bit stronger than I am, but, you can't beat me. You'll never be able to beat me, I'm the better fighter." I said, smiling, before reverting back to normal, he did the same, and I noticed something, Rainbow Dash, she was staring at Auron since he turned into this 'Rainbow Saiyan' form as he called it.
"Dashie? You Okay?" I asked.
"That...was...beautiful..." She said.
"What, his new transformation? eh, I'll admit, it looks pretty cool, but, it's nothing compared to me." I said, with a quick laugh.
"I...think...I love him.." She said, hesitantly. Her saying this stung my heart...but...why? Why did it hurt me to find out Dashie was in love with my brother?!? I already told her I loved Luna, and chose Luna....so, why was it hurting like this when she admitted this...Could it be, I still love her like I love Luna?
"Really Dash? I thought you loved me." I said with a quick smirk, and to my surprise, she blushed.
"I do, and I still do, but, if I can't be with you because you love Luna, I should go after the next best thing." She said, as I followed her to her room where she was staying, as we were walking in the Canterlot Castle, my brother having put King Sombra at bay for a while, so the Crystal Empire was safe, for now...
"So, your saying your only a second rate mare?" I said with a devilish smirk, knowing that it would annoy her, that I called her second rate.
"NO WAY! I settle for nothing but the best!" She exclaimed, annoyed.
"Then why are you settling for second rate with my brother? He may be slightly stronger than I am, but, he'll never beat me, because I'm the better fighter." I explained, looking into her rose eyes.
"It...it's because of that Rainbow Saiyan transformation of his, he seems deathly loyal, like you, and that rainbow look, just, got me..." She said. She then started to think about it more. "I think I wanna marry him." She said finally
"WHAT?!? No..." I said, my heart was hurt now, she wanted to MARRY Auron?!? If she does, then she'll be a second rate mare, and I won't let that happen to Dashie.
"WHY NOT?!? HUH? YOU'VE ALREADY HURT ME ONCE, BY CHOOSING LUNA....WHAT REASON WOULD YOU HAVE FOR PREVENTING ME FROM MARRYING YOUR BROTHER?!?" She asked, yelling.
"BECAUSE I LOVE YOU RAINBOW DASH!" I exclaimed. I then heard a gasp, as the door had opened, and...it was Luna. She had walked in on my exclamation. She heard me confess some love to Rainbow...
"Wh...what...You...love her..." Luna said, starting to cry.
"Wha? Luna?! Please, wait, let me explain!" I tried to say, before stopping my attempted approach, when I saw her coat turn black, with her cutie mark changing to be a purple starry sky with a crescent moon, her jewelry changed to some form of armor, and her eyes changed to look more...draconian, again. She had become Nightmare Moon.
"ENOUGH. WE DO NOT WISH TO SPEAK TO YOU ANY LONGER. FAREWELL!" She said blasting me with magic, knocking me into the wall, and then she flew away.
Lunar Love Broken?!? I don't think so!
A Saiyan In Equestria
I...I couldn't believe it...Luna...she...turned dark, into Nightmare Moon again. And to make things worse, she attacked me. And to make things EVEN worse, I'm the one that caused it. After I fell out of the wall, the only ones in the room, were me, and Dashie. I...didn't even move after I landed. I just lied there, crying now. I felt Dash come over, and nuzzle me, she could tell I needed some sort of company, and she was also concerned, and upset. I managed to sit up, and just sat there, holding her close, as I cried. I couldn't let this happen. I know Luna needs somepony. That somepony, is ME. I calmed myself down, and though I was still very upset, I set Dash aside, and stood up, a look of determination in my eyes. I left the room and went out into Canterlot, and I bought a very special bouquet, I had read some extra books on flowers, especially rare ones, and I had a bouquet made, that was a circle of Moon Lilies, with an inner circle of Lunar Roses, a rare flower, then, as the final piece, I had a Cosmic Rose, the rarest of all flowers placed in the center. I took the bouquet with me after paying for it, and walked into the Everfree forest, where I sensed Luna's power.
I put away the bouquet I had, to prevent it from getting damaged as I trekked through the forest. I crossed a broken mountain path, sliding down the mountainside, and crossed a river, then I walked through a path of trees, that were twisted, and almost trying to scare me away, but, I laughed back at them, determined to get to my goal. A manticore was ahead, and blocked the path, but after seeing the look of sadness, and determination in my stare as I continued to advance, it moved aside, allowing me to pass. I gave it a pat on the head.
"Good boy." I said as I passed by, before continuing. I soon came to a foggy chasm, with a broken wooden hanging bridge. I flew over to the other side, and looked up, seeing what appeared to be ruins of an old castle infront of me. I could sense Luna inside, or rather, Nightmare Moon. With a sad sigh, I walked inside.
A Ballet Breakup
I entered the large ruins, after opening the massive doors, which emitted a loud groan when I pushed them open. I wandered into the room, the grand hall, and I was cast into darkness, in the light ahead, I could see a Pony-like shape, it's back to me, crying. It was clearly Nightmare Moon. I stayed in the darkness, and approached.
"Luna..." I said sadly, my boots were clacking against the hard floor. Nightmare Moon jumped, and turned around.
"Who goes there?!?" She asked, anger in her voice, at being intruded upon in her time of sadness. I stepped out of the shadows revealing myself.
"Let's no do this. Please, let me explain. I Love you Luna. I'll ALWAYS Love you." I said, as I approached her, coming face to face, and staring deep into her teal draconian eyes.
"You Lie. Thou said you loved Rainbow Dash. Not I." She said in anger, shoving me. I couldn't believe it, Luna shoved me...granted this was Nightmare Moon, but, it was still Luna inside.
"I'd never lie about something like this! I...I do love you, I love you with all my heart, and all of my very soul. I...I love Rainbow Dash yes, and the amount of love I have for her, is on par with you, but, You'll always be above her." I said, hoping to cheer her up.
"Leave us....NOW. We do not wish to speak with thee any longer. We also do not wish to see thee anymore." Nightmare Moon said, as she turned around, so she would not see me. I was stunned. Luna...had apparently broken up with me now. With much reluctance, I sighed, and pulled out the bouquet I had bought, and I knelt down, and set it on the ground, making sure it was in a place where she would see it when she looked back, and it wouldn't be messed up.
"Very well. If thou wishes for me to leave. I shall honor thy wish." I said, saddened greatly. "Goodbye." I said with a calm, caring voice, that would seem out of character for somepony like me. As I turned to leave, I heard her speak again.
"For some reason, I hate goodbyes." She said, with that beautiful dark voice she had.
"Ohhhh....Me too....Goodbye." I said softly. I then left without another word. I then, took off, heading for the Moon now. If she didn't wish to see me, fine. I'll go to a place where I can be alone to wallow in my self pity, and sadness as well, a place where I will wait for her. Where she can find me, should she want to. I arrived on the Moon's surface a few hours after I took off, and sat down, and there I remained, crying to myself. Not facing the beautiful planet that I called home. I kept my eyes closed, as I silently cried.
(Luna's POV)
I...I couldn't believe it, Red said he loved somepony, much less Rainbow Dash...even though he is in love with me?!? I know love has multiple meanings, such as parental, or sibling, and couples love, but, the way he said it. It rang true, he did love her. Out of anger, I changed, and attacked him, then left, flying out to the old ruins my sister and I used to stay at. And there, I cried. After a few hours passed, I felt a presence in the shadows, and then, it spoke.
"Luna..." it said. Sadness in it's voice, with concern as well. I recognized it. It was Red. Had he come to explain himself? To try and make it up to me? Did he think he could win me over with a Moon Lily? Telling me how much he loved me, or my night? BAH, it wasn't going to work this time. After listening to his 'explanation' I shoved him, and turned my back on him. I did not want to speak with, or see him for a while. But then, he did something unexpected. He spoke again, with a voice that was very unlike him, out of character if you will, after he set something down.
"Goodbye." He said.
"For some reason, I hate goodbyes" I said, showing my own caring side for him.
"Ohhhh....Me too....Goodbye." He replied softly again. He then left without another word. I continued to weep, and cry, for a while after he left. I then turned around, preparing to leave, and...Oh my...He had left a gift...a special one at that. A most beautiful bouquet, made of Moon Lilies, Lunar Roses, and...at it's center...my eyes began to tear up when I saw it. A Cosmic Rose, the rarest flower of all. It's beauty is indescribable, it was a joint creation by my sister and myself, and after planting the first one, they began to spring up in nature. Showing up once or twice every hundred years or so. It must have cost a fortune to get that. I noticed a card on the bouquet, I gently picked up the bouquet, and brought it to me, then read the card.
"When you read this, I won't be on Equestria anymore. And we will have had an argument, resulting with you not wanting to see or speak with me. If you wish to see and talk to me again, then come find me. But be warned, when you find me, you will find a broken man. a sad, distraught, broken man. I love you Lulu. Please. Forgive me. Let us put this behind us." It read. As I read it, I began to tear up. He really did care, he did love me more than Rainbow. Even if it was just a little more than her, he did. I had to find him, but where...Where would he go...if he was going to be alone...to let out his feelings, where would he....oh...of course! I spread my wings and took flight.
(Red's POV)
Finding an exhausted, broken man
I heard the clatter of hooves behind me, as I sat on the moon. I could sense her. It was Luna. Without looking, I simply spoke.
"Hello Princess Nightmare Moon. You came all this way just to see me?" I had little emotion in my voice as I spoke. And what emotion there was, there was sadness.
"...No..." She said. That beautiful dark voice. It was like music to my ears to hear her again. "I came...to talk. To brink you home my love." She said. I was feeling much better, but oh so tired. She stepped over beside me, and looked down on me, with her teal draconic eyes, sadness in them. Regret it seems as well. I looked up at her, with sadness in my eyes, and a look of pure exhaustion. I was tired. Oh so tired from this. I can't bare to be away from Luna like this. I mean, when I'm away from her on the planet, on a mission, or in town, I'm fine, because I know she's there waiting for me. But, after this? I was tired, I didn't want to be away from her. She smiled warmly, and leaned down, nuzzling my neck, and hugging me. I returned the hug. Then, I heard her cry, and I saw her glow, and shrink down. Much smaller than before actually, and even more importantly, I heard her crying. She changed, her coat became a powdery blue, and her mane and tail turned the sky blue color that my eyes become when I transform to my ultimate state, the Lunar Saiyan. She was beautiful, though I thought her other appearance, with the darker blue fur, and the starry mane and tail was more beautiful, this appearance was amazingly beautiful as well. I hugged her tightly, and held her close, crying, with her. We stayed like that for hours, before we finally stopped crying.
"I love you Lulu." I said kissing her.
"I love you too Red. I'm sorry for doubting you. I should have let you explain." She said returning the kiss. We held each other for a good few hours together, now looking out upon the planet we both called home.
"I'm curious darling." I said now back to my smiling cheery self, together with my marefriend. "Do you have a special guard personally for you?" I asked.
"Yes, why?" she asked.
"I'd like to join it." I said, standing, while holding her in my arms.
"Interesting. My battalion only accepts the best. I only accept the best OF the best as my personal guard." She said with a smirk. "Think you can make it?" she asked with a devious smile.
"Oh I know I can darling. Now, let us return home." I said, before concentrating, and creating a pair of shadowy teal angel wings, which stuck out of my back, and I caught Luna staring.
"Chaos Powers. Oh how I love thee." I said smiling, as I leapt off the moon, and used my new wings, to propel myself down to the planet, so that we might return home.
After we got through the atmosphere, we entered a free fall, and I didn't flap my wings, or use them to glide, I waited until we got dangerously close to the ground, before pulling up, and rolling, as I flew toward Canterlot. We flew over the skies, with her starting to let go, and take flight on her own wings, we flew together, and spun around on each other, before both landing at Canterlot Castle, after landing, I poofed away my wings, returning to my normal appearance.
"How did you like my parting gift dear?" I asked.
"Beautiful, I put it right over there!" she said pointing to the bouquet, which she preserved, and set in a vase.
"Wonderful darling. Now then, when shall my tests to join your guard begin? and what shall I need?" I asked.
"Tonight. And you will need some armor. Should be easy for you with those new powers over Chaos." She said.
"Indeed." I said smiling, already having an idea in mind. And with that, I got to work, after leaving the room, giving Luna a kiss.I stopped, and turned back.
"Luna...listen, I love Rainbow Dash, on the same level that I love you. She's just a little bit below you on my love meter." I said, giving Luna a hug.
"I understand now, the card you had with the flowers, explained it to me." She said with a smile, giving me a kiss.
"Thank you. Do you forgive me?" I asked. She nodded, and we hugged before I left, to go work on the armor I'd be using. But then, something stopped me, and dragged me back inside with their magic, as I'm sure you can guess, it was Luna.
"Oh what does thou wish for now?" I said with a smile. She smirked, and put me in the bed, then crawled in herself.
"Your going to need some sleep, if you intend to fight, and become the best of the best." She said smiling, before giving me a kiss. I then began to drift off to sleep, as she did too, and I felt something growing, and my happiness was at an all time high.
A Saiyan In Equestria
I woke up later that afternoon, with Luna, and I thought of some specialized armor I saw a few SWAT members wear, one specifically...what was his name? Kurtis Stryker? I believe that was his name. I thought of the armor he wore, we met a few times on earth. Once, it was under bat circumstances, when I was being a bad guy. We fought, he was pretty good. Naturally I won, and after a while, we met up again, after I helped save him, and stop an attack. From then on, we were pretty good friends. So, I thought of his armor, and snapped my fingers, and his armor appeared on me. Man I love these Chaos Powers, but I'm not gonna abuse them. I'll only use these abilities if I need to, or if I feel like having a bit of fun. I looked at myself in the mirror and saw a stripe ranking on the shoulder armor, and S.W.A.T on the chest plate. That needed to be changed. I snapped my fingers, and the S.W.A.T was replaced by Luna's cutie mark. Then the shoulder armor's stripe rank, was replaced by MY cutie mark. rather than replace the hat, I took it off, and put my bandanna on, tying it up around my forehead like before. Now, I was ready, to train, and become Luna's guardian.
"Wow, you look wonderful hun." Luna said, after seeing my new armor.
"Thanks darling." I said. Then Scootaloo shown up.
"Nice look dad! But, I think it's missing something...." She said. thinking.
"Like what dear Scootaloo?" I said.
"Something like THIS!" she said holding up one of the Cutie Mark Crusader's capes.
"Awww, well then, don't you think it's a bit small?" I asked? holding it, then after seeing her sad, I snapped my fingers after thinking of an idea "Wait, let's try something." I said, I handed it back to her, then untied my bandanna, and then, after taking the cape back, I folded it up a bit, and tied it around my head. A perfect fit. I could use it as a makeshift bandanna. The emblem of the CMC was proudly shown on my forehead now. "So, what do ya think now Scoots?" I asked.
"Perfect!" She said. I looked at Luna.
"What about you darling?" I asked.
"It looks wonderful, it really completes it to a degree, it shows your not playing around, that you'll protect your family. Especially with that gear." She said pointing a hoof at the sticks off my back, box like item hanging off my belt, and the pole looking thing on the other side.
"Thanks dear, now, shall we be going?" I asked, stepping over to the door.
"Of course." She said walking out, leading me to another area of the castle. On the way, we encountered some guards solar guards, rushing to the training area.
"Soldier, what's going on, where's everypony going?" I asked.
"To the training area, there's some Griffon wanting to become a Guard, she's taking on 3 guards at once! Captain Shining Armor's there as well to watch! The fact that he shown up is surprising!" He explained. He then turned, bowing to Luna, and ran off deeper.
"Three on one?" I asked curious.
"A Griffon? Wishing to become a guard?!? This is certainly interesting. Let's hurry!" Luna replied before galloping ahead, with me following in a sprint.
Agent Selena
Wow. Three tough guards, all solar guards however, fighting with a Griffon. She was quite good. She took to the skies to come down on the guards, followed by the Pegasus guards at the same time.
"Captain Armor, what a welcome surprise!" I said putting an arm on his back, startling him.
"WHA?!? Oh, Red! Hey, long time no see!" He said, bumping his hoof with my hand.
"So, on to the fight, who's the new recruit?" I asked motioning to the Griffon, who was currently grabbing both Pegasi, and piledriving them. "Ohh...nice moves."
"She calls her self Selena. She wants to become an agent of Princess Luna's army." He said.
"Agent Selena huh? Nice ring to it." I said, before smirking. "I can't wait to take her on to train myself." I said, much to Shining Armor's surprise. Also, turns out he and Cadence had lied to me, they were half married. They had already married by most standards, but it wasn't official. I look forward to their wedding though.
"What do you mean to train yourself Red?" He asked.
"Simple. Why else am I dressed in this armor? I'm going to become Luna's guardian." I explained. He smiled and nodded.
"Well, I think we can arrange a match, but first, I want to see how good YOU are. I'll pit you against my best twins. The Lunar Guard twins to be exact." He said.
"Awesome. Twins huh? Sounds like fun!" I said, before turning my attention back to the fight, and Oh my...she already took them all down. She just walked away, with nary a scratch on her, with the three guards she fought straining to get up.
"Agent Selena, wait a moment." Shining Armor called out from the viewing booth, she stopped and turned before looking up. I jumped down, and landed with my fist hitting the ground, and I went to a knee. I looked up at her, the white feathered head, with some pink patches on her eyes, brown feathers covered her body, going into fur for her main body and hind legs.
"Yes Sir?" She asked, looking up at me as I stood up, before turning to look back at Captain Armor.
"This is Red. He's Luna's colt friend, and is going to try and become her guardian. He wants a match with you, but first, he's going to fight the two Lunar Guard twins we have. I'd like you to wait and watch him with us." He said, she nodded, and after shaking my hand, she flew up to the viewing booth. I turned as a door open, and two twin guards come out.
Meet the Twins
Two twins entered, there were differences between them to easily identify them though. One, was a unicorn mare, the other, a Pegasus Stallion. He had bat-like wings, and looked like something from the darkest of nights. like a creeper. She, had similar features, but her horn was crooked. Whether that be a way to identify her as a member of the Lunar guard or not, I don't know. Atleast with her brother it's clear, her, possibly. Because they were Twins, feature wise, anyway, they most likely worked together. The mare spoke up
"I'm Moonstrike." She said. Yep, definitely a Lunar Guard by name alone. Then her brother, the Pegasus stallion spoke up.
"Name's Eclipse. Nice to meet ya...Red was it?" His voice sounded...caring. almost fatherly. While his sister's was more brash, like Rainbow almost, eager to fight, like she's got something to prove.
"Yes sir, Name's Red. But if I'm gonna have a code name, I think I'ma call myself, Agent Nocturne." I said with a smile.
"Alright then." Eclipse said with a chuckle "Let's see how good you are at avoiding attacks" He said, before getting ready like he was about to charge.
"I'll be firing magic bolts, while my brother will be trying to catch you with flying attacks. Good luck!" She said before charging her horn, and firing attack spells rapidly.
"Alright." I said before starting to run, and occasionally hopping to avoid the blasts from the spells, ducking to avoid Eclipses occasional dash, swoop, and a few of his wing attacks.
I kept up the defense for about 1 minute, before Shining Armor stopped us. He said I passed the defense test. Before he could announce my opponents for the actual training, A guard came in, saying there were reports of a large dragon coming from the air, off by Ponyville. I already had started sprinting out before they could even give orders.
Seven years have passed since that day, when Red had become...what is essentially the new being of Chaos, to replace Discord, And had formally adopted Scootaloo as his daughter. Among the various things that have happened, were that the changelings returned, after a simple display of Power by him, they surrendered, and he had successfully managed to negotiate peace talks, now having the Queen of them, Chrysalis, as something of a lover of his. He had also formally married both Princess Luna AND Nightmare Moon. How? Well upon seeing the black mare the day he died and returned, he simply used the chaos magic he had gained to separate them as their own entities...and both the equines had taken an extreme liking to him, thus a double lunar wedding was in play.
The Griffons had begun a war as well, with Equestria, looking to attempt to take over. they had managed to break through Canterlot's walls, something that had never been done before, but they didn't last very long with Red as what was effectively a tactical nuke to decimate their forces when they got too uppity. One of their members, Gabby, had chosen to join Equestria as well.
A year after the Griffon Equestrian War, a new Dragon lord was being named, as Princess Ember. Red had spoke to her later, and after a fight of power with a would be usurper Garble, he had saved her life. she chose to stay with him as her own bodyguard making Canterlot, much less Equestria part of her base, on the edge of the Dragonlands, with him as a lover as well due to his rescuing her.
Finally, the seventh year came around. Red was with his family, Luna, Nightmare Moon, Ember, Chrysalis, and Scootaloo. they were celebrating the birth of an adorable daughter of Luna's. named Dawn. she had pink fur, was an alicorn, and had blue mane and tail like her mother's was. and also she had slitted eyes like her aunt Nightmare Moon. She had also inherited her father's affinity for Fire as well, as he had begun to train her as she got older, in how to control it as well. He had a wonderful life, and he only expected it to get better and more interesting as time moved forward for him.
"SO to everyone out there who enjoyed my story, Thanks! See you guys around alright? Later!" Red said waving to all the readers out there, before flying off charging up an energy blast, the Final flash, and blasting it forward at the cameras that documented this. finally ending his story with a nice flash
THE END.
