She was a unicorn raised in Canterlot. She met a lot of ponies, five of whom followed her back to her new home. They had just seen Nightmare Moon before she vanished into the Everfree Forest. An explosion could be heard. A white flash of light could be seen at the center of Ponyville. "What was that!?" Twilight asked, quickly rushing outside her treehouse library. The baby dragon, Spike and the five other ponies quickly followed. Many ponies gathered around this new creature. It had a hole in its stomach. The new creature was Gohan. "What is that... That looks awful!" One pony said. "Get it away from my little filly!" Another pony said, shielding her filly's eyes. "It looks hurt!" A certain yellow pegasus said. It was Fluttershy, caretaker of animals. She approached the unconscious Gohan. "You probably shouldn't get near that thing, Fluttershy." An orange earth pony said. It was Applejack. "Yes, it could be hostile!" A white unicorn said. It was Rarity, the seamstress. "This... This is a new species..." Twilight said. It was Twilight Sparkle, the magic prodigy. Then, Gohan opened his eyes. Then he closed them, and instantly groaned in pain. He held his stomach. Everyone stepped back. Everyone except for Fluttershy, that is. "Ow... W-Who's there?" Gohan asked, slightly opening his eyes again. He sat up as well. Everyone was surprised that this thing just talked. "Horses?..." Gohan asked. "We are ponies, for your information!" Twilight scolded. "O-Oh... Excuse me... I'm so sorry." Gohan said, cowering and tearing up. That voice just reminded him of his mother. The painful memory of her disowning him... "Are you alright?" Fluttershy asked. "N-No... I have a hole... In my stomach." Gohan said, lifting his hand to show the blood. 'And obviously something else...' He thought. "That thing is a monster!" A pony yelled. "W-Wha?... Shenron... You didn't..." Gohan said before tears rolled down his face. The rest of the memories came back. "You monster!" "No!" Fluttershy said, breaking that thought. "It's hurt, helpless and needs us!" She said. Gohan looked to Fluttershy quizzically. "Fluttershy's right... It needs help." A cyan pegasus flying overhead said. It was Rainbow Dash, the fastest flyer in Equestria. Then, Gohan had a little hope. Shenron may have done it. "That thing looks disgusting!" Another pony yelled. The memories came back... "Stop!" Twilight yelled. "Tell us your name, uh... What are you?" She asked. "I-I'm Gohan... A half human, half Saiyan." Gohan said. "There's only one way that thing's getting in the hospital! Get it to talk Nightmare Moon down!" A pony said. "What!? Don't do that to the poor thing!" Fluttershy said. "Nightmare... Moon?" Gohan asked. "I'm not surprised... Nightmare Moon ponynapped Princess Celestia, the ruler of Equestria. We need to defeat her somehow..." Twilight said, "...I'll do it..." Gohan said, standing up. This exposed the hole in his stomach, as well as his armor. Everyone was surprised at his height. "B-But you're hurt, Gohan!" Twilight said. "If you guys will help me-" Gohan said before he coughed blood into his arm. Fluttershy gasped. Rarity retched. "Excuse me... If you will help me if I help you, I have to do it..." Gohan said. "You couldn't even harm Nightmare Moon even if you tried!" Twilight said. "Harm? So I must fight?" Gohan asked. 'But I don't LIKE to fight...' He thought to himself. "Yeah, you wouldn't be able to do anything if you tried!" Twilight said. Despite Gohan's dislike for battle, his Saiyan instincts excited him, despite his wound. "I'll battle this Nightmare Moon." Gohan said with a serious face. "Don't! You'll die!" Fluttershy said. Gohan flew up a little. "I sense a huge power level over that way. I will return... Please help me then." He said. "Uh... Alright?" Twilight said. "Thank you so much!" Gohan said with glee before slowly flying away. "How did that thing fly?" Rainbow Dash asked. "What's a Saiyan? Or a human? OOH! Can we call it a Saiyaman!?" Pinkie Pie asked. "Calm down, Pinkie. We have to save it before it dies!" Twilight said. "Let's follow that thing!" Applejack asked. "Alright!" Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Twilight, Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie said. The Mane 6 ran towards the Everfree Forest. Gohan flew over the entire forest in moments, and found an ancient, ruined castle. He quickly entered the castle. Gohan immediately saw 5 stones. He paid no attention to them. Gohan walked for a bit, but stopped in his tracks. His vision began to blur. "Oh no..." He said. The wound Piccolo left him... In both his heart and his stomach was starting to affect his consciousness. Gohan fell over. After this, he sat up, holding his stomach. It hurt, oh did it hurt. Gohan would kill Nightmare Moon if it meant easing the pain. He was desperate at this point. Living like a fugitive on the run, he wanted a way out. But it could never ease the pain.... Not forever. Gohan decided to rest up, he needed to gather his energy for his new foe. He took his sweet time. "Concentrate... You can muster the strength to fight Nightmare Moon." He said to himself. The Mane 6 were going through the challenges of the Everfree Forest. They showed the magic of friendship in order to overcome them. After Rainbow Dash rebuilt a bridge for her friends to pass, they were at the entrance of a castle belonging to the royal sisters. "Here it is." Twilight said, opening the door. The Mane Six saw Gohan sitting down. "Gohan?" Twilight asked. Gohan quickly looked over his shoulder. "Oh... Hello..." He said. "Did you face Nightmare Moon?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Not yet... I'm about to go." Gohan said, standing up. "Oh no! You shouldn't be fighting with that wound, you poor thing." Fluttershy said, inspecting Gohan's wound. She made sure not to touch it. "If I defeat Nightmare Moon, I can get myself healed up! Don't worry..." Gohan said with a weak smile. "But you won't beat Nightmare Moon!" Twilight said. "H-How so?" Gohan asked. "She's as strong as Princess Celestia!" Twilight said. "I-I'm sorry, I'm afraid don't know who this 'Celestia' is..." Gohan said. "I understand she's a ruler, but I don't know her." He said. "She's the strongest!" Twilight said. "But, I have more strength... More than you... You think." Gohan said, catching his breath. "You leave her to us, Gohan!" Rainbow Dash said. The two pegasi carefully set the 5 stones down to the ground. Twilight took the 5 stones. They were what made the Elements of Harmony. However, in that moment... Twilight was teleported to face Nightmare Moon somewhere else. "What?" Applejack asked. Gohan could sense Nightmare Moon and Twilight in a tower. "Follow me!" Gohan said, flying to their location. Nightmare Moon had already shattered the five stones. "No!" Twilight said. "It is futile! Surrender now!" Nightmare Moon said. Gohan and the others rushed in. "Nightmare Moon!" Gohan yelled, pointing at Nightmare Moon. "Prepare yourself!" He said. "What is this? A mere child is challenging me? Don't make me laugh." Nightmare Moon said. Gohan landed and walked closer to Nightmare Moon. "Test me." He said, with a serious face. "Thou challenges me? Thou shall die!" Nightmare Moon yelled, shooting a powerful blast of magic from her horn. "No! Get out of there, Gohan!" Twilight yelled. Gohan held one hand up to shield the powerful blast. Smoke was everywhere. Gohan couldn't be seen inside of it. "The child is dead. Such bravery, might I add." Nightmare Moon said. "Dead? I'm not one to die." Gohan said, powering up to clear the smoke. "W-What is this!? T-Thou isn't... Dead!?" Nightmare Moon asked, horrified at her futile attempt. "What in tarnation!?" Applejack asked. "How about I blast you!?" Gohan asked, placing one hand in front of the other. He raised them over his head and a yellow energy ball charged in front of them. "W-What the... Magic!?" Twilight asked. "Impossible!" Nightmare Moon said. "Masenko.... HA!" Gohan yelled, shooting a powerful blast at Nightmare Moon. Nightmare Moon hadn't bothered to block. She believed the blast would do nothing. She took it on with the most evil of grins, and... She was hit right in the face! She was knocked back a little, surprisingly. That shocked the ponies even more. Nightmare Moon took damage. From no other than a Saiyan! "How can a mere child... Damage such a deity as me!? Impossible!" She yelled. The Mane 6 looked in disbelief. This random creature seemingly used magic to actually damage Nightmare Moon, in an injured state! Nightmare Moon shot another blast at Gohan, which he kicked away. "Please, I don't want to hurt you anymore!" Gohan said. "You demand that I surrender? Don't make me laugh! You're at your breaking point!" Nightmare Moon said. She could see that wound. And she attacked! She started with four magic blasts. Gohan sidestepped to dodge one, and jumped over another. He swatted another away and tanked one more right in the chest. Gohan stood on the ground again. He seemed unfazed. "Let's go!" He yelled, dashing forward. Each step was combined with pain. He threw a punch at Nightmare Moon with tears in his eyes. They were from physical pain. Nightmare Moon's head was hit to the side, but she responded with a blast of magic. Gohan barely dodged and performed a roundhouse kick. Nightmare Moon managed to maneuver under that and smashed her horn into his stomach. Gohan coughed blood as she blasted him away. He rolled on the ground for a few seconds before eventually stopping. "I said it was futile to challenge me!" Nightmare Moon called. Gohan managed to get himself up. "Gohan, don't!" Fluttershy pleaded. "Stay back! I'm going to win!" Gohan yelled, jumping at Nightmare Moon. He seemed really resilient... "What a brave creature..." Rarity said. Nonetheless, Gohan couldn't keep up the 'unbreakble' act for much longer. His wound was making it harder as time passed. The two started clashing more and more. "How in tarnation is Gohan standing up to that Nightmare Moon!?" Applejack exclaimed. "I don't understand... An injured creature is actually going toe to toe with Nightmare Moon!" Twilight said. "He doesn't seem like he can last long." Rainbow Dash said. "Then we need to utilize the time!" Twilight said, looking to the broken elements. "Hragh!" Gohan yelled as he kicked Nightmare Moon. He flew backwards for some distance, The combination of pain and fighting tired him. He was panting, getting as much air as possible. Nightmare Moon herself was damaged, but was clearly winning the war of attrition. She shot an evil grin. "I can almost hear your tiny little heart shrieking..." She said sinisterly. "Afraid to fail, afraid to die... Afraid to go back to such an excavated past..." She said. "Be quiet!" Gohan yelled, running at Nightmare Moon. He hadn't even questioned how she knew that. But, that was the reaction she was hoping for with her bluff. Gohan fell into Nightmare Moon's trap. Nightmare Moon used her magic to ensnare him! "What!?" Gohan asked, struggling to move. Nightmare Moon cackled. "You thought you could defeat me!? Child!? Don't be serious." She said. "Now, make a choice! Join me, or die." Nightmare Moon said. "Never! I won't side with evil...!" Gohan yelled. "Your choice, child!" Nightmare Moon yelled. She slowly started to tear at Gohan's wound with her magic. Gohan screamed in pain. The wound very, very slowly widened for maximum pain. Even more screaming combined with tears came from that. Nightmare Moon relished in it. Blood started to seep out... In that moment, Twilight figured it out. "Girls, I figured it out!" Twilight said. "Then get on with it!" Rainbow Dash said. "Nightmare Moon!" Twilight yelled. Nightmare Moon paid no attention to Twilight, she was too busy torturing Gohan. Gohan felt totally helpless. Nightmare Moon got to his head... And now he was at her mercy. But... He had to fight, he just had to! 'Fight or die... Fight or die!' He thought. "I WON'T LOSE!" He yelled. He screamed with a burst of strength! An intense yellow aura appeared! "The spirits of the Elements of Harmony live on, even though their broken!" Twilight said. "They're right here!" She added. Gohan's hair and eyebrows turned yellow, and his irises turned blue. Nightmare Moon was losing her grip... Gohan's aura grew bigger, and shattered the magic! Nightmare Moon recoiled in shock. "W-What!? You were holding back!?" She asked. Gohan floated in the air, in front of Nightmare Moon. He was panting, as his form couldn't last long, but if he didn't do much, he could defeat her. "I am a Super Saiyan!" Gohan yelled. The 5 shattered stones began to float around the Mane 6. "Applejack, who reassured me while I doubted her, represents the spirit of Honesty!" Twilight yelled. The stone representing honesty floated around Applejack. Gohan caught on to what Twilight was doing, and didn't attack. "They will end this!" He yelled. "T-The stones are shattered! Impossible! Two problems, this is terrible!" Nightmare Moon yelled. "Fluttershy, who tamed the Manticore with compassion, represents the spirit of Kindness!" Twilight yelled. The stone representing kindness floated around Fluttershy. "Pinkie Pie, who banished fear by giggling in the face of danger, represents the spirit of Laughter!" Twilight yelled. The stone representing laughter floated around Pinkie Pie. "Rarity, who calmed the sorrowful serpent with a meaningful gift, represents the spirit of Generosity!" Twilight yelled. The stone representing generosity floated around Rarity. "And Rainbow Dash, who could not abandon her friends for her own heart's desire, represents the spirit of Loyalty!" Twilight yelled. The stone representing loyalty floated around Rainbow Dash. "The spirits of these ponies overcame the challenges you threw at us!" Twilight yelled. "There's no sixth element!" Nightmare Moon laughed. Gohan noticed the Elements of Harmony growing in power. He cupped his hands together at his side. "Ka..." He said. "It is here. It needed a different kind of spark. I realized that you girls are all, my friends!" Twilight yelled. "Me..." Gohan said, as a blue ball of energy appeared in between his hands. The sixth Element of Harmony appeared in the form of a stone. "Ha..." Gohan said. "The spark that resides in all of our hearts created the sixth element. The element of Magic!" Twilight yelled. The sixth element, magic shone a bright light. "Me..." Gohan said. The shattered stones floating around the five ponies all morphed into five necklaces with each representation of the Elements of Harmony. The sixth element morphed into a crown, representing magic. It fell on top of Twilight's head. A double rainbow blasted towards the sky, and flew back down towards Nightmare Moon. "HA!" Gohan yelled, unleashing the Kamehameha wave at Nightmare Moon. The blast had nearly every bit of his energy left in him. "NOOOO!" Nightmare Moon yelled as she was engulfed by both of the blasts. The only difference was, Gohan's blast blew a hole in the wall, and could be seen across the horizon. Aftermath of Nightmare MoonThe resulting flash of light had the Mane 6 collapse to the ground. Gohan was exhausted. He couldn't remain to be a Super Saiyan, so he reverted back to his base form, and floated gently back to the ground. As soon as he landed, he fell to his knees. "At... At least I can get help now..." He muttered. The Mane 6 groaned as everyone woke up. "Ugh... Everypony alright?" Applejack asked. "My tail!" Rarity said, noticing her regrown tail. "Oh my... Rarity, it's so lovely!" Fluttershy said. "I know! I will never part with it again!" Rarity exclaimed. "No... I meant your necklace! It looks just like your cutie mark!" Fluttershy said. Rarity noticed the difference. "So is yours!" She said. Then, everyone noticed the necklaces. "Look at mine!" Pinkie Pie said, jumping around. "Aw, yeah!" Rainbow Dash said. "Twilight, ah thought you were a lot of hooey, but we really do represent the Elements of Friendship!" Applejack said. "Yep!" Pinkie Pie said. "Oh my... Gohan!" Fluttershy exclaimed, noticing his exhausted state. "D-Don't mind me..." Gohan said, looking over his shoulder. "We won." He added. Then, Princess Celestia appeared with a flash of light, and the Sun rose. The Mane 6 bowed, while Gohan remained still. "G-Gohan! Bow!" Twilight whispered. "U-Uh... Oh! O-Okay!" Gohan said, turning around and bowing down with the little strength he had left. "There is no need, young child." Celestia said. "Uh... Okay ma'am!" Gohan said, kneeling with a straight back again, even though it hurt like hell. "Princess Celestia!" Twilight exclaimed, rushing over to the alicorn and embracing her. "Twilight Sparkle, my faithful student! I knew you could do it... But surprisingly... A different source helped you." Celestia said. "You told me that it was all an old pony tale!" Twilight said. "I told you to make friends, and it seems you have made six!" Celestia said. "I-I'm... A friend?" Gohan asked, pointing at himself. "Why of course. You assisted greatly, and I am very grateful. You have a wound, do you not?" Celestia asked. "U-Uh... Yes ma'am." Gohan said. "I shall heal you. Stand still." Celestia said. Her horn glowed, firing some yellow magic to Gohan. With that, Gohan's wound quickly healed, showing his stomach/abs. "Oh my gosh... Thank you so much!" Gohan said with a huge smile. He stood up. "You are very welcome, what is your name?" Celestia asked. "I'm Son Gohan." Gohan said. "Okay, Son Gohan. Where are you from?" Celestia asked. Gohan paused. He remembered how his friends and family just turned on him. His smile faded, and he frowned upon remembering. "I believe that is a story for another day, I suppose." Celestia said. "Y-Yes..." Gohan said. "I really don't want to talk about it." He added. "You have my gratitude. Now, Princess Luna." Celestia said. Princess Luna had been attempting to get up, she was damaged by Gohan's Kamehameha pretty badly. Celestia approached Luna. "It has been a thousand years since I have seen you like this. It is time to put our differences beside us. We were meant to rule together, little sister." She said. "Sister?" The Mane 6 asked. "I thought so... Their ki are so similar!" Gohan said. "Will you accept my friendship?" Celestia asked. "I'm so sorry! I've missed you so much, big sister!" Luna said as she came close to Celestia. The two sisters shed a few tears. Gohan wished he could see his newborn brother. But, he was glad two other siblings were reunited. "I've missed you too." Celestia said. Pinkie Pie was crying. She was a fountain of tears. But then it just stopped. "Hey! Do you know what this calls for?" Pinkie Pie asked. Then, all of a sudden, everyone was back in Ponyville. Gohan was left confused. "A PARTY!" Pinkie Pie said. Confetti flew everywhere. "W-Wha?" Gohan asked. He was wondering how the hell he just got there. Everypony was rushing to the center of the town. Gohan stood alongside the Mane 6, and the two royal sisters. "Why so glum, Twilight? Your quest is over, you can return for your studies in Canterlot." Celestia said. "I know... But when I learned about making friends and actually made them, I now have to leave them!" Twilight said. Gohan couldn't help but be confused at what was happening, but didn't ask. "Spike, take a note please. I, Princess Celestia, hereby decree, that the unicorn, Twilight Sparkle shall take on a new mission for Equestria. She must continue to study the magic of friendship. She must report her findings to me, in her new home, Ponyville." Celestia said. Spike, the baby dragon wrote it all down. The rest of the Mane 6 hugged Twilight. Gohan walked closer, but that was all. "Thank you, Princess Celestial!" Twilight said. The whole town cheered, and Gohan was still left confused. "Gohan!" A very, very similar voice called. Gohan couldn't believe it. "D-Dad!?" Gohan called. "Yes, son! It's me, your father!" Goku said, from the Other World. Everypony looked at Gohan weirdly. Who was he talking to? "W-Why did you call?" Gohan asked. "I wanted to see how you were doing, and... Your mother showed me that it wasn't great. But, now you're in this new world. I'll call from time to time, son! I just saw what you did, and I'm real proud of you." Goku said. "W-Wow, thanks, dad!" Gohan said, a smile on his face. "Gohan, darling." Rarity said. "Just who are you speaking with?" She asked. Gohan quickly realized what he did. "Oh! I was just talking with my dad!" Gohan said. "But where is he?" Applejack asked. "He's-... Uh... D-Dead." Gohan said, the smile disappearing. He cowered away a little bit. There was an awkward silence. "What is he, a ghost or something? Are you a weirdo?" Rainbow Dash asked. "H-He's a great man... But let's say it's..." Gohan said. "Magic." Goku said. The rest of 8 ponies could hear Goku. "Hi! I'm Goku! Take good care of my son, alright?" Goku said. "Well, we sure will, Mr. Goku." Fluttershy said. "Bye!" Goku said. "Bye dad!" Gohan said. "Wow, to think we thought you were crazy, darling." Rarity said. Gohan laughed. "I am a little unusual, I suppose." He said. Everyone laughed. "Darling, I must make you a new set of clothing! Your current attire has quite a hole." Rarity said. "B-But I don't have the funds to pay..." Gohan said. "Nonsense! It will be free, and it will be perfect!" Rarity said. "Thanks!" Gohan said. "Hey, let's get to know Gohan and Twilight better!" Pinkie said. "Uh... Okay!" Gohan said. That day, Gohan made a decision. He liked this place. At first, the denizens did not welcome him, but making friends proved otherwise for the Saiyan. He could forget the past, and live in peace, at last. Or, could he? Gohan's Next Day (The Ticket Master) (Edited)It was a new day, and Gohan had some things to do. Gohan slept inside Fluttershy's cottage. She thought Gohan was an animal, after all. He still had the torn up Saiyan armor on... But his boots were off. So his feet were covered in the spandex. Nonetheless, he managed to sleep well. Waking up, he noticed that Fluttershy was up in the other room. He pushed the green blanket off himself and got out of bed. He quickly got his boots on and walked into the living room. Fluttershy was taking care of the animals' breakfasts. She just finished filling the bird feed. "There you are." She said as the birds started eating up. "Hello." Gohan said. Fluttershy turned around. "Oh! Good morning." She said. "Do you need any help?" Gohan asked. "If you'd like to, that'd be nice." Fluttershy said. Gohan was kind enough to help Fluttershy feed the other animals. Ranging from the mice, the other birds and Harry the Bear. With Harry... Outside... "C-Calm down!" Gohan said, holding a basket of berries. He dodged numerous swipes from Harry. "I have berries!" He said, holding out a handful of berries. Harry roared and tried clawing them from Gohan's hand. "Harry!" Fluttershy scolded. Well, that got him to stop. "Gohan was just trying to feed you, and you treat him like that?" Fluttershy asked. Harry looked sad and turned to Gohan. "Now, say that you're sorry." Fluttershy said. Harry made out noises that sounded like a sorry. "That's okay!" Gohan said, holding out the basket to Harry. *** Right outside the door of Fluttershy's cottage... "Thank you very much." Fluttershy said. "Your welcome. I need to get this patched up, so I'll leave." Gohan said, patting his armor. "Hurry back." Fluttershy said. "Oh, and I'll try and make this 'keeping me home' thing temporary, alright?" Gohan asked. "If that's what you would like to do..." Fluttershy said. "Okay, thanks! Bye!" Gohan said before flying into town. Fluttershy waved as he flew away. But she was left to wonder... "How is Gohan flying in the first place?" She asked herself. Gohan was soaring the skies. Free from burden. But, he had a small thought. 'Should I still train?' He thought. Gohan stopped moving, and floated in the air. "Dad?" He called. After a few moments, his father answered. "Yes, Gohan?" Goku asked. "Should I... Continue to train?" Gohan asked. "That's up to you. If I were you, I would, but I know you don't like to fight. I'd do it because it seems like you would run into stuff like that Nightmare Moon." Goku said. "Okay dad, thanks." Gohan said. "Anytime, son!" Goku said. "Hey!" Rainbow Dash yelled. Gohan turned around to see Rainbow Dash closing in. "LOOK OUT!" She yelled. Gohan moved out of the way in an instant. Rainbow Dash slowed down as much as she could. "Sorry about that." She said. "I-It's okay, Rainbow Dash." Gohan said. "I should tell you that some clouds are going to be placed around here. You should probably move." Rainbow Dash said. "Oh? Excuse me, I'll leave now." Gohan said. "See ya!" Rainbow Dash said, flying off. Gohan flew into Ponyville. He was going to Rarity's Boutique. He knocked on the door ever so slightly, so he wouldn't accidentally break it. "Come in! We are open!" Rarity said. Gohan opened the door. "Hello?" He asked. "Oh, Gohan, darling. It's you! We should get you something to wear." Rarity said. "Follow me, we must take a few measurements, and you can describe to me what you desire to wear." She said as she trotted away. Gohan followed. Rarity used her magic to get her tape measure. "Stand on this, and hold still." Rarity said. Gohan complied. Rarity was taking all kinds of measurements based on what he was wearing. After a while, Rarity finished. "Okay darling, describe to me what you desire to wear." Rarity said. "Hm... Oh, I know! Can you get me a piece a paper, and a pencil?" Gohan asked. "Sure thing, here you go." Rarity said, using her magic to levitate a paper, a pencil and a small table. "That's so cool! What is that?" Gohan asked. "It's magic. Unicorns possess magic for levitation and other spells. Although I only use it for levitation, some unicorns practice many spells for combat or safety." Rarity said. "Wow... Magic is interesting." Gohan said. "Yes, anyhow! Please draw what you desire." Rarity said. Gohan quickly drew his father's gi. He went into great detail, he showed the small wrinkles, he drew the weighted, blue shirt behind and without the orange gi, weighted boots, wristbands, and the blue belt. Gohan finished, and handed his paper to Rarity. "My, my. You are quite the artist! What is this, though?" Rarity asked. "It's my father's gi. I went into a little detail... He has weighted clothes with the blue clothes." Gohan said. "Nopony has EVER asked me to create such a heavy piece of clothing. Are you sure about this? They are very heavy." Rarity asked. "If my dad could do it at my age, so can I." Gohan said. "Your father sounds incredibly strong. Do you mind listing some of his feats while I create your clothing?" Rarity asked, already working on Gohan's clothes. "Where do I start... He's really powerful. I was told he sent a rabbit to the moon when he was really small!" Gohan said. "Really? That sounds rather painful for the rabbit." Rarity said. "He was a mob boss or something, so don't worry. He's also won the 23rd World Martial Arts tournament..." Gohan said. "That sounds impressive." Rarity said. "He's defeated so many people! Aliens who threatened to destroy our home, and even tyrants such as Frieza!" Gohan said. "Did you say Frieza?" Rarity asked. "That sounds vaguely familiar." She said. "Yes. He defeated him, by turning into the legendary Super Saiyan!" Gohan said. "What is that?" Rarity asked. "A Super Saiyan is an ascended Saiyan. I can do it too! I actually did it against that... I believe it was Nightmare Moon?" Gohan said. "Yes.. Oh, was that your mane changing color?" Rarity asked. "Yeah, it was that too." Gohan said. "Your father sounds quite impressive. What else has he done?" Rarity asked. "Well... He can destroy a planet if he ever wanted to, but he's too nice to do something awful like that. He can move like it's nothing in 100x normal gravity... Uh.." Gohan said. "O-Oh my! That's insane! 100 times normal gravity!?" Rarity asked, surprised. "Oh yes, and he can do much more than that. He can lift so many tons- He can bench press a planet!" Gohan said. Rarity nearly fell over at that accomplishment. "A-An entire planet!?" She asked. "Yeah..." Gohan said. "I'm sure your father has passed on some of his amazing strengths on to you, darling." Rarity said. "I would agree! I can do everything he can at this point!" Gohan boasted. "But there's only one thing that I don't have." He said. "What would that be, darling?" Rarity asked. "I... I don't really like to fight, unlike him. Saiyans have this ceaseless lust for battle, but I'm sort of half and half on it." Gohan said. "Wow. That sounds rather okay, Gohan. Violence isn't a great pastime." Rarity said. "Yeah... But sometimes, like against Nightmare Moon, I just both needed to and wanted to fight. It's just in my blood." Gohan said. "Well, that could be good as well. We may encounter weird things. Like when Rainbow Dash did going through that Street Fighter phase." Rarity said, remembering when Rainbow Dash dressed as Ryu from Street Fighter and pretended to do random stuff. *** "Hadouken!" Rainbow Dash yelled, throwing a cloud at Fluttershy. "Oh no!" Fluttershy said, pretending to fall down. "I lose!" She said. "Yes! I win!" Rainbow Dash said. "I wanna be Ryu next time..." Fluttershy said. "No! You can be Ken!" Rainbow Dash said. "Aw..." Fluttershy said. *** "S-She was a street fighter?" Gohan asked. "No, I believe it was some childish video game." Rarity said. "Oh, alright." Gohan said. "I just finished!" Rarity said, using her magic to reveal an orange gi that looked exactly like his father's. But she put it in Gohan's arms quickly, as it was very heavy. "Wow. Thank you so much, Rarity!" Gohan said. "You are very welcome, dear. Try them on!" Rarity said. "Okay!... Do you have a booth I could try these on in?" Gohan asked. "Oh!... Uh, sure. It is right over there." Rarity said, pointing a hoof at a booth. She only had it for ponies who weren't okay with wearing nothing in public. Gohan went in, and came out of the booth soon after. It was a perfect fit! "Wow, thanks again, Rarity!" Gohan said. "It was my pleasure. Now run along, I have more customers." Rarity said. Gohan waved goodbye, and dumped his Saiyan armor in the trash. He then left the boutique. "Where to today... Ah yes. The library!" Gohan said. Gohan walked around Ponyville, heading for the library. He wasn't completely accepted by the denizens of Ponyville. Some ponies haven't accepted him yet. "Weirdo!" One pony yelled. Gohan shrugged the comment off. For some reason, it instantly rained. Gohan looked up. "What happened?" He asked. 'It was just sunny a moment ago... The heck?' He thought. Gohan flew up over the clouds to see who the culprit was. He looked around to see Rainbow Dash. "Hey! Why are you making it rain!?" Gohan asked. Rainbow Dash looked over to see Gohan. "To prevent YOU or any pony else from getting that ticket!" She said. "Uh... What ticket?" Gohan asked. "Uh, to the Grand Galloping Gala! The most awesome place for the Wonderbolts?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Uh... Not interested?... I don't even know what the Grand Galloping Gala is. Can you make it not rain anymore or something? Or is it a pattern?" Gohan asked. "How don't you-... Whatever, yeah it's a pattern." Rainbow Dash said. "Oh, and you look cool in that thing, I guess." She added. "Oh, thanks! I just got it from Rarity." Gohan said. "Yeah, okay. See you around, Gohan." Rainbow Dash said before flying off. Gohan waved. He then flew over the clouds, seeing how astonishing the scenery was. He could see how the pegasi could just sit on clouds. 'I wonder...' Gohan thought. He stopped flying to let himself fall on a cloud, but he fell right through the cloud since he wasn't a pegasus. "Bad idea, bad idea!" He said. Gohan stopped before he smashed into the ground. "That... Was close." He said. He looked up to the sky. "I guess I can't sit on a cloud." He said to himself. "You sure can't!" Pinkie Pie said, hopping around. Gohan stood on the ground again. "Hey, Pinkie. What's going on?" He asked. "Oh, Twilight has a ticket to the Grand Galloping Gala plus one! Everypony's trying to get Twilight to give that plus one ticket!" Pinkie Pie said. "Uh... Alright... I still don't know what this Gala is..." Gohan said. Pinkie Pie gasped. "YOU don't know the Grand Galloping Gala!? Let me show you!" Pinkie Pie said. Then, the two were somehow in some random occurance. "H-How did we get here?" Gohan asked. The background was full of flying giant confetti and balloons. Pinkie Pie sang a long song about how partying at the Grand Galloping Gala would be fun. It was filled with rainbows and dancing and whatnot. Then, they appeared back in Ponyville, and at Sugarcube Corner. "Uh... How did we-" "Don't ask, silly! Auntie Pinkie has her tricks!" Pinkie Pie interrupted. "We're not related, though..." Gohan said. "Okay, I'm your ADOPTED Auntie Pinkie, how's that?" Pinkie Pie asked. "Uh... Okay... Can I eat something?" Gohan asked. "Oh sure! Here's 20 cupcakes, on the house!" Pinkie Pie said. "O-On the house!? Really?" Gohan asked. "Sure! Here!" Pinkie Pie said, pulling out a tray of twenty cupcakes out of nowhere. "Oh, yum! They're extra large too! This will be great for one of twenty courses of a meal!" Gohan joked. "Eat up!" Pinkie Pie said before vanishing. Gohan was left in an empty store with a bunch of cupcakes pulled out of nowhere. He ate them all in an instant, and remained hungry. "Oh well, I should wait until I eat a lot." He said to himself. Gohan left the store. It was already starting to become nighttime. 'I should head to the library before I forget.' He thought to himself. Gohan walked over to Twilight's treehouse, but saw some oddities while going over. For some reason, there were groups of ponies trying to find something. He shrugged it off as nothing, and went to Twilight's treehouse. He knocked on the door. No answer. "She mustn't be home." Gohan said to himself. He didn't sense anything in there. But, Twilight had just teleported there. Gohan sensed it. So he knocked again. "No! Go away!" Spike yelled. "I just want to see the library!" Gohan said. "Spike, maybe let Gohan in?" Twilight asked. The door opened. "Hurry!" Spike said. Gohan was in very quickly. "What's the rush?" Gohan asked. "Everypony somehow found out I have an extra ticket to the Grand Galloping Gala and everypony trying to- Wait, you want that ticket too, don't you!?" Twilight asked. "I... I don't really have in interest in that... I came to check out your books..." Gohan said. "O-Oh... Pardon me. Spike, lock the doors and windows!" Twilight said. Spike and Twilight closed every window, and turned every light off. But, Gohan could sense 5 other ponies. "Who's there!?" Gohan asked, pointing at the window. The lights flashed on again. The rest of the Mane 6 were there at Twilight's window. "Man, when she said everyone really wanted that ticket, she meant it literally." Gohan said. Twilight screamed, bringing the attention over to her. It also made the five come back to their senses. "I can't decide, you're all too important to me and doing favors and giving me gifts isn't helping at all! I want to make each one of you happy, and I just can't! UUUUGGGGHHH!" She groaned. "Are you okay?" Gohan asked. "Try deep breathing, it gets rid of some stress." He said. Her friends started to feel bad, and climbed down from the window. "Twilight, I didn't mean to put so much pressure on you. You can give the ticket to somepony else, I wouldn't care at all." Applejack said. "Me too... I feel so awful that I made you feel so awful about it." Fluttershy said. "Me too! It's no fun to upset your friends!" Pinkie Pie said. "Twilight, it was not fair of me to do such nice things for my own personal gain. Please forgive me." Rarity said. "Yes! I got the ticket!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed. Everyone looked at Rainbow Dash as she was boasting about getting the ticket. Gohan was unamused. He even had the face to show how unamused he was. Rainbow Dash realized what she was doing. "Uh... I haven't been practicing for the Wonderbolts for a while. I don't want to go yet, I guess." She said. Then, everyone except for Twilight and Spike stared at Gohan. "Uh... Why are you guys staring at me?" Gohan asked. "Don't you have something to say?" Rarity asked. "Uh... I'm sorry for asking to see if you had any interesting books while you were going through this time of grief?" Gohan asked. "The ticket, you nerd!" Rainbow Dash said. "Oh, Rainbow Dash, Gohan never asked me for the ticket." Twilight said. "What!?" Five of the Mane 6 asked. "Oh my, I apologize Gohan." Rarity said. "I-It's nothing, really..." Gohan said. Then Twilight had Spike write a letter to Celestia about a lesson she learned in friendship. Twilight was returning her tickets to Celestia. "Twilight, you don't have to do that!" Applejack said. "Nope! I already made up my mind." Twilight said. Spike sent the letter to Celestia with a quick breath of fire. "I couldn't go there unless my best friends joined me!" Twilight said. The Mane 6 all came into a group hug. Gohan just stood there, surprised. 'This is just... Weird.' He thought. Spike walked over to Gohan, who had a confused expression on his face. "I'm with you, thi-" Spike said before something tried to make him burp. "Why that's just like a boy, Spike. You see something a little girly, and you're all ready to barf!" Applejack said. "D-Does that exclude me, somehow?" Gohan asked. "Yeah, you- Wait, are you a boy or a girl?" Applejack asked. "A boy." Gohan said. "Well you sound girly!" Rainbow Dash said. "That's not very nice, Rainbow Dash." Fluttershy said. "But its true!" Rainbow Dash said. Then, after long, painful moments of trying to burp, Spike burped out a letter. "Whoa, Nellie!" Applejack said. "A letter from the princess!" Twilight said. Spike read out the letter, and pulled out 7 tickets to the Grand Galloping Gala. "Now we can all go!" Twilight said. "Alright, you can go. Can I read some books while your at it?" Gohan asked. "No, you're coming too, Gohan!" Twilight said. "B-But... Can I just give my ticket to him?" Gohan asked, pointing at Spike. "Nah, I don't really want to go." Spike lied. Gohan groaned. "I guess I'll take the ticket..." He said. "Alright!" Twilight said. Then, her stomach rumbled. "Let us, treat you to dinner Twilight." Rarity said, trying to make up for her mistake. "OOH! I'll get the cupcakes!" Pinkie Pie said. The Mane 6 began to walk out of the Treehouse. "You two are coming to eat with us!" Rarity said, pointing a hoof at Gohan and Spike. "Well, I am hungry. I should warn you that... My appetite is really big." Gohan said. "Don't worry. Nopony eats more than Pinkie Pie." Rarity said. "Oh yeah? I challenge that!" Gohan said, running after the Mane 6. Then, Spike burped up another ticket to the Gala. He followed too. ***Hours Later*** Gohan was already at his 90th plate. He beat Pinkie Pie 65 plates ago. Spike and the Mane 6 looked in shock as Gohan was eating nonstop. Well, Pinkie was cheering him on. "Go! Go! Go! Faster! This is amazing!" She said with glee. "Uh... Gohan?" Applejack asked. Gohan stopped eating for a moment. "Yaffsh?" He asked with his mouth full. "Gohan, don't talk with your mouth full! That's rude!" Rarity scolded. Gohan swallowed the spaghetti he was eating, finishing his 90th plate. "Sorry, what is it?" Gohan asked, wiping his mouth with a napkin. "Well, firstly I'd expect an adult such as yourself would have table manners already!" Rarity said. "A-Adult?" Gohan asked. "I'm eleven, silly!" He added. "WHAT!?" The Mane 6 asked. "Oh no, I can't let you leave the cottage on your own until you're old enough!" Fluttershy said. "Uh... Fluttershy, I don't know how he's gonna fare that way." Rainbow Dash said. "Don't worry, I'll take good care of him." Fluttershy said. "Yeah, but... How are you going to afford to feed him!?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Oh... I don't know, I'll figure it out." Fluttershy said. "He can come down to the farm for an apple or two anytime." Applejack said. "Say you can eat clouds, too, Gohan." Goku said from Other World. "I can eat clouds, too, I guess." Gohan said. Spike and the Mane Six burst with laughter. "Thanks dad." Gohan whispered. "No problem, son!" Goku said. Gohan's Life through Season 1 (Edited)It's been quite a while since Gohan came to Ponyville. Many of the denizens liked Gohan. But many hated Gohan, he wasn't a gryphon or a pony. It wasn't normal to them. Gohan lived outside of Ponyville, actually. In a small shack. Built by himself, mainly because he'd eat out the entire pantry of wherever he had lived. He could've went to Sweet Apple Acres, but that wasn't a good option either. Actually, he didn't even ask. He just didn't want to repeat the mistake of eating everything. He comes into Ponyville to see Twilight to discuss mathematics, or to read a book. He also helps Applejack down at Sweet Apple Acres, plans a few parties with Pinkie Pie, and was part of the weather team with Rainbow Dash. Despite not being a pegasus, he could still move clouds. And, boy. Was it difficult for Rainbow Dash to get him in. Some serious begging and testing. *** In Mayor Mare's office... Three individuals were. Rainbow Dash, Mayor Mare and Gohan. "I deny him a job on the weather team!" Mayor Mare said. "But why!?" Rainbow Dash asked. "He's not only flightless, but an overgrown monkey! It's absurd to even consider him for the job!" Mayor Mare said. "Mayor Mare, if I may..." Gohan said. "I can fly." He said. To prove it, he jumped up and floated in mid-air. He spun around the room. Then, he stood on the ground again. "I know I seem strange, but I swear, I won't be a nuisance." He said. "Hmm... You seem to mean well... However, since you are no pony, I suppose I can let you join after testing..." Mayor Mare said. "I'll do it!" Gohan said. "If you are as Rainbow Dash says... Then this will be a tad dangerous. The town is running low on metals, but the mines are full of bats. That's why they're barren, as reports show attacks hospitalize ponies." Mayor Mare said. "So you want me to get which minerals?" Gohan asked. "It's not necessarily the minerals we seek, it's the removal of the bats. I know it sounds weird, but nopony's daring to go in there." Mayor Mare said. "I guess I'll do it. Bats aren't much of a problem." Gohan said. *** So, now Gohan and Rainbow Dash were outside the mine. It happened to be inside the mountain harboring Canterlot. Rainbow Dash wasn't going to go in, but Mayor Mare gave Gohan a helmet with a light. Gohan just tossed that to the side. "Good luck, Gohan. I know it's going to be difficult, but I bet you can do it!" Rainbow Dash said. "Oh, I have the perfect plan." Gohan said. "What is it?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Well, I was going to use a cow, but I realized how useless that is and how cruel it is. So, from studying bats, I know something they really dislike." Gohan said. "What?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Artificial light. You might want to stay out of the way for a quick moment." Gohan said. He dashed right into that hellhole of bats. Rainbow Dash stepped to the side like she was told to. She was just standing there, soon to be bored. "What's taking him so long...?" She muttered. Then she saw a bat flying out of the mine. "Finally!" She said. Then a few more came out... Then... There was a huge barrage of blasts flying straight out of the mine! "What the...!?" Rainbow Dash asked, completely flabbergasted. Bats were desperately flying out of the mine. None were harmed, but were they desperate. Eventually the bats and the blasts finally stopped. Gohan slowly walked out with a smile. "That was so cool! You got every one out!?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Yep! Not a trace in there! But they were very hostile. They look like they're going to the Everfree Forest." Gohan said. As it turns out, they were. *** And that's how Gohan got the job. He eventually had gotten enough money to buy more of his father's gis from Rarity. Gohan spends a lot of his time training, alone. Rainbow Dash tried sparring with Gohan once, but Gohan accidentally punched her into a rock and she went to the hospital. Let's watch. *** "Are you sure about this?" Gohan asked. The two were in a field with a few rocks. "Yep! I wanna see what ya got!" Rainbow Dash said. "All right. Let's do this! Come at me!" Gohan said. Rainbow Dash flew at Gohan in a flash! She threw a very swift forehoof! ...Gohan dodged and punched her to the side. He added a bit too much strength, and... She smashed into a rock. Gohan gasped and rushed to her. "Rainbow! Are you okay!? I'm so sorry!" He said. Apparently she's unconscious now. "I need to get her to the hospital..." Gohan said, carrying her and flying quickly. *** And that's how she landed in the hospital. Usually, Gohan does 10,000 push ups and sit ups. He also practiced his punches and kicks. Occasionally, he fired a Kamehameha wave into the sky. Sometimes, Gohan could be seen as a Super Saiyan in Ponyville in order to keep his stamina maxed. This has led to some rude remarks from some of the townsfolk. But that hasn't harmed Gohan badly, and he's fine. Gohan has had his moments where he let his rage speak, rather than himself. Such as the time when Trixie came. *** "What are you? A monkey? The Great and Powerful Trixie shall turn you into a pony at once!" The 'Great and Powerful' Trixie exclaimed before shooting magic at Gohan. "Like! I! Said!... I DONT CARE!" Gohan yelled, swatting the beam away and throwing a ki blast at Trixie. Trixie dodged, and nearly got hit by the blast. "How dare you attempt to strike the Great and Powerful Trixie!? The Great and Powerful Trixie has managed to defeat an Ursa Major with her powerful magic!" Trixie yelled. Many ponies gasped. "The Ursa Major is only a constellation! I prevented the entire Solar System from being destroyed, and I can increase my power hundreds of times over!" Gohan yelled. "That's a load of hooey!" A pony yelled. "Oh yeah!?" Gohan yelled. Gohan made his Super Saiyan transformation extra dramatic by yelling, causing an earthquake, and turning his hair blond and black again multiple times. Many ponies began to run away. Trixie was standing still, despite being scared. "That's enough!" A shy voice yelled. Gohan went back into his base form as Fluttershy stopped his tiny assault. "Gohan! Don't scare the other ponies away! Ignore her, I recommend you go home." Fluttershy said. "Oh... Oh gosh, I'm so, so sorry Fluttershy... I didn't mean to-" "Don't worry, it's alright. You can lose it once in a while, you know?" Fluttershy interrupted. "Y-Yeah... I'll see you around." Gohan said. "You better run..." Trixie whispered. *** There were moments where Gohan wanted to do something. Like when Gilda, the gryphon came to town. She was even mean to Gohan! *** Gohan was moving the clouds for the afternoon. It was scheduled to be cloudy, so he got quite a few. Rainbow Dash and Gilda were racing, and having lots of fun. Gohan watched them perform tricks and all, but he needed to use a few of the clouds they were using. After Rainbow Dash finished her latest trick, Gohan approached the old school friends. "Hey!" Gohan said, waving. "Oh hey there, dude!" Rainbow Dash said, waving a hoof. "Who's this... Thing?" Gilda asked. "Oh, wait... I know what you are! I've read it in my textbooks before, I thought gryphons never existed!" Gohan said. "Uh, Gohan? The Gryphon Kingdom exists?" Rainbow Dash said. "What?... Oh, I'm sorry, I must have read it in my old home." Gohan said. "Well, that's cool, 'dude'." Gilda said with a bit of anger. "I'm Son Gohan, and who are you?" Gohan asked. "The name's Gilda." Gilda said. "I have to go do some weather duties, so catch you later, Gilda!" Rainbow Dash said, flying away. "See ya, Dash." Gilda said. "Alright then. I'm sorry to ask, but I'm gonna need a few of these clouds, is that alright?" Gohan asked. "Beat it, weirdo." Gilda said. "B-But... Can I just please take one?" Gohan asked, holding up a finger. "I said beat it! Buzz off, you... Thing. Trying to use all of these clouds here." Gilda said, hugging the clouds closely. "For what?" Gohan asked. "Just get out of here before I pound you, smarty!" Gilda said, holding up a fist. Gohan tried restraining his anger, this 'Gilda' wasn't making it easy. Gohan sighed. "Fine. See you around, Gilda." He said before flying away quickly. *** Like when the dragon snored smoke all over Ponyville, and he was ready to beat it up. But, he didn't do it. *** The few leaves merely touched Fluttershy, yet she screamed. "AVALANCHE!" She screamed. The Mane 6 were running everywhere, trying to avoid the falling rocks. Gohan threw many ki blasts to destroy the falling rocks and boulders. It wasn't enough, though. All of his friends could escape the carnage, but Gohan was engulfed by the avalanche. After it stopped, the Mane 6 was looking all over for Gohan. "Do you think he's...?" Applejack asked. "N-No way, he's probably pulling a prank on us!" Rainbow Dash said. During this, a faint yell could be heard. It grew louder in volume as time went by. "Is the dragon waking up?" Pinkie Pie asked. "Why do y- Actually, I hear something." Twilight said. Fluttershy hid behind a bush. Gohan burst through the remains of the avalanche. "Oh my, you're still alive and well!" Rarity said. "Yeah, I'm alright!" Gohan said. "But it appears your clothes have a few cuts." Rarity said, pointing a hoof at Gohan's ripped gi. "It's alright. I could get it fixed later!" Gohan said. "Yes, come by later. Now, onward!" Rarity said. Everyone made it to the cave where the dragon slept. Twilight tried to persuade the dragon into leaving, Rarity tried using her charm, and Pinkie Pie did... Whatever she did. Rainbow Dash angered the dragon greatly, and she was sent flying at her friends from a yell. The rest of the Mane 6, except for Fluttershy fell. Gohan flew up to the dragon, and was about to attack. "No Gohan!" Goku yelled from Other World. Gohan stopped in his tracks and flew back a little. "Dad?" He asked. "Don't fight, there's a different solution!" Goku said. "W-What is it?" Gohan asked. "You should look behind you." Goku said. Gohan turned around to see Fluttershy with an angry face. "HOW DARE YOU!?" She yelled at the dragon. Gohan flew down, and rushed to the rest of the Mane 6. After a lengthy talk to the dragon from Fluttershy, he burst into tears. *** There were times when he shined. Well, temporarily. Like when the Ursa Minor, then the Ursa Major came. *** It was nighttime. Snips and Snails summoned an Ursa Minor, but it was considered to be an Ursa Major. All of the ponies in Ponyville were running and panicking. Twilight managed to give the Ursa Minor milk, and to get it back in the cave it came from. Everyone was cheering for Twilight, who thought she had bragged. However, she didn't calm the Ursa Minor's mother, the Ursa Major. Gohan felt it's presence incoming. "Uh... Guys? I think we have a bigger problem than a cub." Gohan said. "Now what are y- Oh my apples." Applejack said. The Ursa Major, nearly ten times the size of the Ursa Minor, was ready to destroy Ponyville. Twilight attempted to calm it, but her magic was far to weak to handle it. "Oh no! That thing's going to destroy Ponyville!" Rainbow Dash said. "Not on my watch!" Gohan yelled. Gohan flew up to the Ursa Major, and punched it from side to side multiple times. "T-That one's insane!" Mayor Mare exclaimed. Gohan uppercutted the Ursa Major, launching it into the air. He quickly flew behind it, cupping his hands together and performing a double axe handle. The Ursa Major was falling to the ground. Gohan didn't stop there, he quickly went back to the ground, moments before the Ursa Major would touch the ground. He cupped his hands together by his side. "It's time to put you back where you belong! Kamehameha!" Gohan yelled, unleashing the Kamehameha wave on the Ursa Major. The Ursa Major was blasted away into outer space. Gohan stopped the beam. There was only silence. Nopony cheered. They all just looked in shock. Gohan looked to the Mane 6. "A-Are you guys alright?" He asked. *** There's a lot more, but his father and his friends stopped him from acting in most of those times. There are also times when Gohan didn't do what was expected of him. Not that he acted out of turn, but he wasn't like other ponies. Like the first time he saw Zecora. *** Everyone in Ponyville was inside. It was all strange, why is that? Twilight and Spike were outside as usual, but noticed that no one was outside, at all. Well, except for Gohan. Gohan saw that the shops were closed. 'Strange...' He thought to himself. 'Why is everyone indoors today?' He thought. Twilight and Spike were just pulled into Sugarcube Corner. Gohan witnessed that. But he could sense another being in town. There was a zebra, just digging. It stared at Gohan with mean eyes. Gohan stared the zebra down. Applejack's little sister, Applebloom was lurking around. The zebra walked back to the Everfree Forest after quite the staring contest. Applebloom followed. Gohan stood there, confused as to what just happened. He had a staring contest with a zebra, and he won because it just walked away. The Mane 6 rushed out of Sugarcube Corner. "Gohan, lad! Have y'all seen Applebloom?" Applejack asked. "Uh, no. I haven't. I just stared at a zebra for some random reason." Gohan said. "That zebra is Zecora, and she may have taken my sister Applebloom! Lets giddy up to the Everfree Forest!" Applejack said. "U-Uh... Alright..." Gohan said, following the Mane 6. "Why didn't you run away from the spooky, scary and evil Zecora?" Pinkie Pie asked. "For the last time, Pinkie, Zecora is probably not evil!" Twilight said. "Uh... Yeah, Zecora was just staring." Gohan said. *** Gohan has had a fun, saddening, and silencing time. Now, let's see where he is now! The Grand Galloping GalaGohan was setting a cloud to be in some spot, and overheard Twilight and Pinkie Pie having a conversation beside Rarity's Boutique. "THE GRAND GALLOPING GALA IS TONIGHT!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed, jumping up and down on a trampoline. "Pinkie, please stop shouting! I'm trying to focus." Twilight said. Gohan flew over to them. "Hey!" He said. "Oh hey, Gohan." Twilight said. "Hi Gohany han!" Pinkie Pie said. Rarity suddenly opened the door of her boutique. "Pinkie Pie, please stop jumping! I must make the dresses for the Gala, and I refuse to make a dress for you while you're all sweaty!" Rarity said. Pinkie Pie stopped jumping and stood on the ground. Twilight was working on a spell for the Grand Galloping Gala. "The others are very late!" Rarity said. "Hold your horses, now. We're here." Applejack said, walking alongside Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash. "Perfect, I'm ready!" Twilight said. "For what?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Alright, Spike." Twilight said. Spike brought an apple, and set it on the ground. "An apple! Are we having pie?" Pinkie Pie asked. Spike silenced Pinkie Pie with a hush. Twilight used her magic to turn the apple into a big carriage! Big enough to hold the eight. Everyone complimented Twilight's work. "Nice job!" Everyone said. "Thanks! But that's just the start. Fluttershy, did you bring your friends?" Twilight asked. "Oh yes, but will they be safe?" Fluttershy asked, lowering her head to set her pet mice on the ground. They were burrowed in her mane. "You have my word." Twilight said. "We'll keep Twilight in check for ya, Fluttershy." Applejack said. Twilight used her magic to turn the mice into full grown horses! "So that's the difference between and pony and a horse... This place makes no sense." Gohan commented. The rest of the Mane 6 were confused. Opal, Rarity's cat, seized the moment, and scratched one of the horse mice. The horse mice all ran away. "Oh no! Those horses were supposed to carry the carriage! How will we get to the Gala?" Twilight asked. "Oh, whatever shall we do?" Rarity asked. "I'll pull the carriage..." Gohan said. "No, we shouldn't let a child do that." Twilight said. "B-But I can shoot bears back into space... And I can do it!" Gohan said. A clump of dirt was thrown at Gohan from a colt. "Hey!" Gohan said. "Sorry, I was doing the right thing, trying to scare monsters away from my filly." The colt said. Gohan used his ki to get the mud off of him. "How dare you assault our little Gohan here! He's only a child!" Rarity said. "Whoa, whoa! How is that towering creature only a kid?" The colt asked. "That thing's a monster!" The colt's filly said. "I'm not a pony. I think you get the idea, now please leave." Gohan said. "No Gohan, the colt should be an adult and apologize to you." Rarity said. "No... It's alright. Now you can leave, mister." Gohan said. "Weirdo..." The colt said as he trotted away with his filly. "I'm gonna ignore the fact that that just happened." Twilight said. "Anyway, what can we do for the carriage?" Applejack asked. "Like I said, I'll do it." Gohan said. "Are you sure you can handle it?" Applejack asked. "Allow me to demonstrate in a nerdy manner, heh." Gohan chuckled. He picked the carriage up with one hand. "Considering I can lift this heavy object with ease, I believe I have the strength to pull this carriage at a mediocre pace, even with all of you in it." Gohan said. "That was... Too much like Twilight." Rainbow Dash said. Gohan floated above the ground. "If I hold something and I am flying, what happens to the action?" He asked. "You would need twice the amount of strength to hold something." Twilight said. "Correct. And considering I can do that and," Gohan said, chucking the carriage away. The Mane 6 and Spike all gasped. Gohan appeared in front of it, catching it again and flying back to the Mane 6. "Throw this with ease, I believe I have more than enough strength to pull this carriage! Also I can just go Super Saiyan to make it even less of a weight." Gohan said, setting the carriage down. "Well, shoot. Guess Gohan's gonna pull the carriage." Applejack said. "I still don't get you, Gohan." Rainbow Dash said. "Why's that, Rainbow Dash?" Twilight asked. "I don't know, he's such a nerd, yet he has so much coolness! I've never met such a hybrid!" Rainbow Dash said. "I-I guess it's just luck... Heheh." Gohan chuckled. "Anyhow, everypony! I shall make dresses and tuxedoes for you all!" Rarity said. Everyone entered the boutique. The Mane 6 were all straightening their hair in a separate room. Spike and Gohan were outside. Gohan didn't, in fact, his hair hadn't changed a single bit since he was in Equestria. "You say it used to grow, Gohan?" Rarity asked. "Yeah, but I don't know why it just stopped all of a sudden." Gohan said on the other side of a door. "Your mane hasn't changed its style nor it's length, you should be fine, dear." Rarity said. Spike was knocking on the door. "Come on! Let me in, guys!" He said. "No! You mustn't! We're dressing!" Rarity said. "Uh, Rarity, we don't normally wear clothes." Applejack said. "Except for the other nerd." Rainbow Dash said. Gohan laughed. "Fine." Rarity said, opening the door with her magic. "I'm sorry Spike, some of us do have standards." Rarity said. "I still can't believe we're going to be at Canterlot tonight!" Spike said as he walked around the boutique. "Our home town, Twilight! The best part is, we'll be together all night long!" He added. 'Good... I have some protection in case I'm judged...' Gohan thought as he walked into the same room. "I don't know, Spike." Rainbow Dash said. 'Oh, man.' Gohan thought. Rarity put an eyelash on her face. "We'll just have to see." She said. Applejack scrubbed Fluttershy's hoof, then spat on it. "We're gonna be a might, busy." She said. Pinkie Pie's hair was straightened. "Busy having fun!" Pinkie Pie said, before her hair poofed out again. "Oh... Okay." Spike said, putting on a frown. "Don't worry, Spike. I can hang around you." Gohan said with a reassuring smile. "Thanks, Gohan." Spike said, a frown turned into a smile. "Don't worry, you two. We'll all get to spend time together." Twilight said, applying some makeup. "Great!" Spike exclaimed. "Hey Rarity, I have a design of clothing to ask for." Gohan said. "Here's the paper and pencil, draw away, darling." Rarity said, giving Gohan the tools. Gohan drew a picture of a familiar shirt and pants he wore on his eleventh birthday. He handed the paper to Rarity. "My, my! I haven't seen anything like this. What is this, Gohan?" Rarity asked. "It's considered formal where I come from... I wore it for my eleventh birthday." Gohan said. "Well, I shall make this for you. Your culture is very interesting, Gohan." Rarity said. Gohan chuckled. Later, everyone was ready to go. Gohan was sporting his drawn picture. In fact, he went Super Saiyan to top it all off. https://t00.deviantart.net/Cd3AqpNkMVGG09Wav8m2_7okeiw=/fit-in/700x350/filters:fixed_height(100,100):origin()/pre00/da5b/th/pre/f/2016/366/e/1/gohan_by_tch023-datos61.png "Gohan, are you sure you want your mane to be so blond?" Fluttershy asked. "It brings back quite the memories, and I'm fine with the hair color. It's a Super Saiyan, after all. I can change it back whenever I want." Gohan said. "That sounds like a lovely ability, changing the color of your mane..." Fluttershy said. "It's not as peachy as you think." Gohan said. The Mane 6 all entered the carriage. Spike wore a tuxedo, and the Mane 6 all had dresses. Spike was outside the carriage. Gohan already began to pull the carriage. Really, he barely used any strength. "Oh, I've got to show Rarity around! I'll show her the gems, and all that stuff!" Spike said. "Sounds like a plan, Spike." Gohan said. Inside the carriage, the Mane 6 were chatting. "Let's go then!" Spike said. "Faster!" He said. "How much faster do you want me to go, anyway?" Gohan asked. "I dunno... Fast, but reasonable I guess." Spike said. "Alright." Gohan said, picking up the speed. "Being so slow before was really a challenge, but this is a little less of a challenge. Heh." He chuckled. Eventually, they arrived in Canterlot. Spike opened the carriage door for the Mane 6, and bowed to them respectively. Gohan quickly followed. "Whoa!" Spike said. "You all look amazing!" He said. "Didn't you see them before they entered the carriage?" Gohan asked. "N-No, I was kind of focused on your Super Saiyan thingy." Spike said. "Okay, but I guess they do look amazing." Gohan said. Spike jumped on Gohan's shoulder and leaned in to his ear. "You're not crushing on any one of them, are you?" He asked. "Uh, no. Why?" Gohan asked. "Just wondering. I thought you were crushing on one of them, that's all." Spike said. "I'm not a pony so I'd rather not." Gohan said. Spike giggled. "Yeah, I guess." He said. "I can't believe we're at the Gala!" Twilight said, further explaining the place. "This will be the best night ever!" She said, with fireworks going off. "At the Gala!" The Mane 6 sang. "At the Gala! In the garden! I'm going to see them all!" Fluttershy sang. "All the creatures, I'll befriend them, at the Gala! All the birdies, and the critters, they will love me big and small! We'll become good friends forever, right here, At The Gala!" Fluttershy sang. "All our dreams will come true, right here at the Gala! At the Gala!" The choir sang. "At the Gala! I will sell them, all my appletastic treats!" Applejack sang. "The hungry ponies, they will buy them, caramel apples, apple sweets! And then earn a lot of money, for the Apple family!" Applejack sang. "All our dreams and our hopes from now until here after. All that we've been wishing for will happen at the Gala! At the Gala!" The choir sang. "At the Gala! All the royals, they will meet fair Rarity!" Rarity sang. "They will see, I'm just as regal at the Gala! I will find him, my Prince Charming, and how gallant he will be! He will treat me like a lady, tonight! At the Gala!" Rarity sang. "This is what we've been waiting for, to have the best night ever! Each of us will live our dreams, tonight! At the Gala! At the Gala!" The choir sang. "Been dreaming, I've been waiting! To fly with those great ponies!" Rainbow Dash sang. "The Wonderbolts, their daring tricks, spinning 'round and having kicks! Perform for crowds of thousands! They'll shower us with diamonds! The Wonderbolts will see me right here! At the Gala!" Rainbow Dash sang. "I'm here, at the Grand Gala! For it is the best party!" Pinkie Pie sang. "But the one thing, it was missing, was a pony named Pinkie! For I am the best at parties! All the ponies will agree, ponies playing, ponies dancing with me! At the Gala!" Pinkie Pie sang. "Happiness and laughter! At the Gala!" The choir sang. Then, the song was shifted to Gohan. "U-Uh... At the G-Gala! I will... Um... Be with my friends?" Gohan sang with an awkward smile. The choir skipped Gohan's terrible and unprepared verse. "At the Gala, with the princess, is where I'm going to be!" Twilight sang. "We will talk all about magic, and what I've learned and seen! It is going to be so special, as she takes time, just for me!" Twilight sang. "This will be the best night ever!" The choir sang. The bridge was laid down, and the ponies crossed it. "Into the Gala we must go!" The choir sang. "We're ready now, we're all a glow! Into the Gala, let's go in! And have the best night ever! Into the Gala, now's the time! We're ready and we look divine! Into the Gala!" The choir sang. "Into the Gala," The choir sang. "Meet new friends," Fluttershy sang. "Into the Gala," The choir sang. "Sell some apples," Applejack sang. "Into the Gala," The choir sang. "Find my prince," Rarity sang. "Prove I'm great," The choir sang. "As a Wonderbolt is!" Rainbow Dash sang. "To meet!" Fluttershy sang. "To sell!" Applejack sang. "To find!" Rarity sang. "To prove!" Rainbow Dash sang. "To woo!" Pinkie Pie sang. "To talk!" Twilight sang. "Into the Gala!" The ponies sang. "Into the Gala! And we'll have the best night ever, At the Gala!!" The ponies sang. Then, they finished up the lovely song. Gohan clapped. He also gave a 'I did not expect that' smile. Spike, Gohan, and the Mane 6 entered the Grand Galloping Gala. "This is going to be the best night ever! Because we're all going to spend it to-" Spike said before the Mane 6 trailed off into 6 different directions. "Oh." Spike said. "I'm still here...?" Gohan said. "At least I have one friend to spend it together with." Spike said. "L-Let's just enter that thing..." Gohan said, pointing at a hall. "Yeah." Spike said. As soon as Spike and Gohan entered, they saw Twilight chatting with Celestia, a bunch of other ponies, and Rarity chasing certain Prince Blueblood. However, Gohan was being stared at. All conversations stopped. "What is that thing?" A pony called. "That is one of the many friends of my faithful student, Twilight Sparkle." Celestia called. "His name is Son Gohan. He is just as any other pony here. Please treat each other with respect." She added. "N-Nice to meet you all..." Gohan waved. The ponies went back to their business. "Anyway, what should we do now?" Gohan asked Spike. "I dunno." Spike said. "The only thing I can think of is carrying you and flying all over the place." Gohan said. "That... Actually sounds like a lot of fun!" Spike said. "So we'll do it?" Gohan asked with a smile. "Hay yeah!" Spike said. Gohan picked Spike up and put him on his back. "Just tell me when I'm a little too fast." He said, flying to the outside part of the Gala. The Mane 6 were not having 'the best night' of their lives. Fluttershy wasn't making any animal friends, she was only scaring them! She was going a little insane and was trying to trap them. Rarity did not like how Prince Blueblood was acting. He was so spoiled that he took Rarity's rose. She wasn't hanging around the most charming pony, she was hanging around a brat! Pinkie Pie was trying to party as she usually does, but the Gala was a formal party, not a... Pinkie party. Sadly. Applejack wasn't selling anything other than that one apple pie. She wasn't turning up a huge profit like she thought. Rainbow Dash, who seemingly interested the Wonderbolts, received an invitation to 'hang out' with Spitfire and the Wonderbolts. She wasn't even talking to them, despite her best efforts. Twilight wasn't talking to Celestia about what had happened since they last met, and wasn't too happy. Celestia was too busy greeting ponies. However, Gohan and Spike were having a blast flying around Canterlot. Gohan did receive a bit of bad feedback, but he didn't care. He was having fun, so it didn't matter to him. "Oh! I have an idea!" Gohan said, stopping in midair. "What is it?" Spike asked. Gohan threw many ki blasts into the air, and made them explode each other. It was a decent fireworks show. "Wow! How can you fly without wings, and how can you use magic without a horn!?" Spike exclaimed. Gohan chuckled. "I'm not using magic. Heheh!" He said. "Well what is it? It's so cool!" Spike said. "Ki. It's cool, I guess!" Gohan said. "Is that what you used against that Ursa Major?" Spike asked. "Y-Yeah... I like doing epic things like that, but I really dislike the attention it gives me." Gohan said. "That's strange." Spike said. "How so?" Gohan asked. "Rainbow Dash does awesome stuff all the time, and brags as much as she can. But you tend to hate the attention! She was right, you are a weird hybrid!" Spike chuckled. Gohan laughed. "I suppose it's pure luck." He said. "That's what you said before!" Spike said, laughing. Gohan laughed too. "Should we check on the others now?" Gohan asked, still circling Canterlot. "Nah. Maybe they're having the best night of their lives!" Spike said. "Kind of like we are, right?" Gohan said, raising a fist up to Spike. "You bet!" Spike said, fist bumping Gohan. "Where to?" Gohan asked. "I know a great place for donuts and other treats." Spike said. "Point me in the direction!" Gohan said. Gohan headed for Joe's shop. They entered, and they were greeted by Joe. "Spike, hello! It's been a while!" Joe said. "Hey Joe!" Spike said. "And who's your friend?" Joe asked. "I'm Son Gohan. Nice to meet you sir." Gohan said, bowing his head. "You've got quite the manners there, Son Gohan." Joe said with a smile. "Really?... Thanks." Gohan said. Gohan had a simple glass of water and a plain donut. Spike, on the other hand, had a donut with extra sprinkles and hot cocoa with a marshmallow in it. "I see a very noticeable difference between you two." Joe said. "Really?" Gohan asked. "Yeah, I don't know you, and I know you, Spike." Joe said. Gohan chuckled. "Yeah..." he said. The doors to Joe's shop swung open. The Mane 6 were there. "Well, look who it is! Twilight Sparkle! Long time no see!" Joe said. Spike quickly ran over to them. "How was the Gala?" He asked. Gohan stayed in his seat. The Mane 6 told their stories of how the 'best night ever' turned into the worst night ever. "Well, Gohan and I had a blast! We flew all around the Gala!" Spike exclaimed. "Good for you, Spike!" Twilight said, giving a smile. "Well, somepony had fun!" Applejack said. "Yeah!... I just hope Princess Celestia will forgive us for ruining the Gala..." Twilight said. "That was the best Grand Galloping Gala ever!" Celestia said, happening to be at the entrance. "Princess Celestia!" Everyone except Gohan said. Celestia walked over to Twilight. "Pardon me, Princess, but tonight was just awful!" Twilight said. "The Grand Galloping Gala is always awful, that was why I was so happy you were all attending! I knew you guys would lighten things up a bit!" Celestia said. "And while the evening didn't go as planned, you made it all better. Also, someone did have a fine time." She added. Everyone looked at Spike, then Gohan. "H-Hello again, Princess..." Gohan said with a wave. "You look marvelous in that, Gohan." Celestia said. "Thanks!" Gohan said, resuming his small treat. "I wonder, who provided the extra fireworks show?" Celestia asked. "Oh that was Gohan!" Spike exclaimed. "I-I'd rather you guys not tell anyone about it, okay?" Gohan said with an awkward laugh. "I will keep it a secret." Celestia said. "I guess you're right! Friends somehow make a terrible moment all better!" Twilight said. "Yeah! Just hanging out with your friends!" Rainbow Dash said. "Talking!" Fluttershy said. "Laughing!" Pinkie Pie said. "You mean doing what Gohan and I did the whole time?" Spike said. "Yes, Spike." Twilight said. "Tonight wasn't a good night." Applejack said. "But now it's coming to a happy end!" Rarity said. "This has turned into..." Pinkie Pie said. "The best night ever!" The Mane 6 said. Everyone giggled and laughed a little bit. "A-Alright everyone... As soon as you want to leave, please tell me!" Gohan said. "Okey dokey lokey!" Pinkie Pie said. Discord's Return Pt. 2"You should see the looks on your faces! Priceless!" Discord said, suddenly laughing like a little boy. "Give us our wings and horns back!" Twilight demanded. Discord moved around the Mane 6. "You see, cheating is not allowed. Which means, no flying. And no magic." Discord said. "The second rule is, everypony has to play, or else I win..." Discord said, sitting on a bush. "Did you forget me?" Gohan asked. Gohan, still retaining his abilities, flew up to Discord and stared at him eye to eye. "Oh. It seems you can fly. No more!" Discord said, snapping his lion's paw. Supposedly Gohan would lose his ability to fly, but that didn't happen. "W-What? Impossible!" Discord said. "Don't worry, Discord. I won't cheat for you. It's only fair." Gohan said, lowering himself to the ground. "What!?" Rainbow Dash exclaimed. She ran up to Gohan. "Are you insane? How will we win?" She asked. "Hey, the first rule was, 'No cheating. Which means no flying or using magic'." Gohan said. "I see. You are a smart and good... Child." Discord said. "So you know my age, at least." Gohan said. "I will find out more about you... You have actually given me something to do in a millennia!" Discord said. "Better do more than that." Gohan said. "Good luck, everypony!" Discord said, before laughing and disappearing again. "Gohan, just fly up! We can defeat Discord that way!" Twilight said. "If we cheat, he might just move the Elements somewhere else!" Gohan said. "That's not- Actually, that makes sense." Twilight said. "Plus, that also means we lose." Gohan said. "Well, never fear guys! We have each other!" Twilight said. "Yeah! Like Twilight said, there's nothing we can't overcome when we stick together!" Rainbow Dash said. The Mane 6 and Gohan all stepped to the entrance. "Alright guys, let's do this." Twilight said. "Together!" Everyone said, taking one step. Then, walls appeared, separating the 7. The Mane 6 started to panic. "Stay calm, everyone! We'll at the middle and regroup there!" Twilight said. "Moving out!" Rainbow Dash said. "See you at the center." Rarity said. "Yeehaw!" Applejack said. "Meet you guys there!" Pinkie Pie said. Then, everyone except for Gohan and Fluttershy already took off. Fluttershy was hyperventilating. "Who's there, who's there!?" She said, before screaming from all the stress. "Fluttershy, calm down!" Gohan said. "H-How!? It's so scary!" Fluttershy said. "Don't worry, you'll be safe. Good luck!" Gohan said, before he went into the maze. *** Applejack was running around. Suddenly, three apples caught her eye, and she went to it. Those three apples rolled away from her. "What in tarnation?" Applejack asked, before running after them. They rolled straight into an illusion, and Applejack fell for it. It was an apple grove. "Where am I?" Applejack asked, before an apple fell on her head. She looked around to see apples falling from the trees, and rolling to her. Each kind of apple formed 3 different piles, and they all laughed. They also circled Applejack. "Who are y'all!?" Applejack asked. The dark red apples spoke first, and formed a face. "The keepers of the grove of truth... You may ask us..." it said. Then the bright red apples spoke next. "A lot of questions..." it said. The green apples spoke next. "Past, future or present!" It said. They kept spitting out nonsense to Applejack. "Alright then, I don't trust this place, but I got a real bad feeling for this fella Discord. What's gonna come from this here mission we're on?" She asked. The apples stopped circling her, and Applejack went to a lake. The apples followed her. "The answers you seek..." The dark red apples spoke. "Go ahead, take a peek!" The bright red apples said. Applejack stared into her reflection, which suddenly turned into an 'answer'. It was Ponyville, completely randomized with buildings floating everywhere. Gohan and the Mane 6 were standing together. "All of you can take a hike!" Gohan yelled. "I hope I never see you again!" Rainbow Dash yelled. "Me too!" Fluttershy yelled. "Fine!" Pinkie Pie yelled. "Fine!" Rarity yelled. "It's settled then." Twilight yelled, Everyone went their separate ways. Applejack stopped looking. "No! Our friendship? Over!?" Applejack asked. Discord was above, using the apples as puppets. "It can't be true... It just can't!" Applejack said. "That just... Can't be the truth..." Applejack said. "Well the truth does..." The bright red apples said. "Make your heart ache..." The green apples said, with spirals suddenly forming. "Sometimes a lie, is easier to take!" It said. They were brainwashing Applejack, and she turned dark. The illusion was gone, and a path opened. Twilight saw Applejack, and ran to her. "Applejack, thank goodness! I thought I heard voices over here!" Twilight said. "Who were you talking to?" She asked. "I was talking to a... Nopony! Nopony whatsoever!" Applejack lied. Her facial expressions almost gave her away. "What!?" Twilight asked, confused. "Nothing, come on! We best be going." Applejack said, trotting away. "Did Applejack just..." Twilight muttered. "Oh come on, Twilight! Applejack wouldn't lie!" She said before trotting after Applejack. *** Pinkie Pie was hopping through the maze and whistling at the same time. She stopped in her tracks when she saw a TON of balloons, all with smiles on them. Pinkie Pie hopped around, excited. "This is the best balloon garden I've ever seen!" She exclaimed. "Well, its the first balloon garden I've ever seen, but-" She said before falling into mud. She looked up to see that a balloon tripped her. All of the balloons were laughing at Pinkie Pie! "Hey, what gives!?" Pinkie Pie asked. Discord appeared in a flash. "What's wrong, Pinkie Pie? I thought you appreciated a good laugh." He said. "It's different! They're laughing at me!" Pinkie Pie said. Discord leaned into a balloon. "It's hardly different." He said. His head vanished, and the balloon had a new face. "Your friends laugh at you all the time!" He said through the balloon. "My friends laugh with me, not at me!" Pinkie Pie said. The Discord balloon circled around Pinkie Pie. "Oh really?" He asked. He laughed while circling faster, and faster. Then the others laughed at Pinkie Pie. "No! Stop it!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed. Then, the balloons had the faces of her friends. They were all laughing at Pinkie Pie. "Stop laughing at me!" Pinkie Pie said. Discord's balloon circled Pinkie Pie. "Oh... Poor Pinkie Pie... and here I thought laughter made you happy..." He said as his eyes turned into spirals. It brainwashed Pinkie Pie, changing her view on laughter. Not only this, but she turned dark. "Happy? I don't think so." She said, and every balloon was popped. Twilight and Applejack saw Pinkie Pie. "Pinkie Pie!" Twilight exclaimed, running to Pinkie Pie. "Are we glad to see you!" She added. Pinkie Pie had a mean face on. "You are, huh? Why?" She asked in a defensive tone. "Need a good laugh!" She said defensively before trotting away. "Why did Pinkie Pie act so weird?" Twilight asked. "I didn't notice anything strange about Pinkie!" Applejack lied, giving a weird face that gave her away before trotting away. "Weird... Better pick up the pace for this or the stress will get to all of us." Twilight said, following the other two. *** Rarity was going about the maze. "I was expecting an audience with the Princess. Not outdoor sport." She said before accidentally walking into an illusion. The illusion was a wall with three perfect diamonds. She gasped. She looked into the diamonds to see Discord. He laughed. "Welcome to your lucky day, Rarity. You've found the one thing in Equestria that could rival my face with sheer beauty." Discord said, making the diamonds shine brighter. The brightness attempted to brainwash Rarity. "What do you think, do you like?" Discord asked. "I like... I like very much..." Rarity said, before shaking her head. "No! I must avoid such beauty." Rarity said, attempting to walk away from the amazing diamonds. "Must! Reach! Center! To reach! The others!" Rarity said, trying to avoid the illusion. Rarity was taken over by her greed, and turned dark. She went back to the diamonds in the wall and got it out. "Well, it took forever..." Rarity said, running up to the combined diamond she made. "Who knew three gems could make a HUNK of a diamond..." She said, hugging the combined diamond. "Now to get you HOME." Rarity said, carrying the huge diamond on her back. The wall she tore the diamond from broke down to reveal Twilight, Applejack and Pinkie Pie. "Rarity!" Twilight exclaimed, running to Rarity. "Are we glad to se-" She said before noticing Rarity holding the illusion diamond, a rock. "Why are you carrying a humongous boulder?" Twilight asked. Rarity set the boulder down. "What do you mean 'boulder'?" She said. Rarity climbed on top of it. "This beautiful rock is a DIAMOND!" She said before hugging it. "And it's all mine." She said. Twilight and the others were looking at it, confused. "Keep your greedy little eyes OFF it!" Rarity said, carrying it again. "It's MINE!" She said, slowly walking away. Twilight and the others followed. *** Fluttershy hid in one of the bush walls, and jumped out when seeing the coast was clear. She was scared, beyond scared. "Okay I can do this..." She reassured herself. "I can do... EEP!" She exclaimed when only three little butterflies flew to her. She ran away instantly, trying to hide inside the walls again. But, Fluttershy realized what happened. She gasped, and stopped trying to hide. "Wait a minute!" She said with a smile. "Butterflies? Wait!" She said, running after the butterflies. "Don't leave me here!" She said. Fluttershy ran after the butterflies in one place, then ended up in another, and another, and eventually she lost the butterflies. The three butterflies were behind Fluttershy. "Fluttershy!" One of the butterflies called. Fluttershy turned around. "It looks like you've been left behind by your so called friends!" The butterfly said. It was Discord. "Oh no, I'm certain they're doing their best to find me!" Fluttershy said. The three butterflies began to circle Fluttershy. "Well, it must be so upsetting to know how weak and helpless they think you are." Each of them said before flying up. "Not at all... I am weak and helpless and I appreciate their understanding." Fluttershy said with a smile. "Yes! Well surely it BURNS you up, that they're always pointing out your flaws, right?" The butterflies said. "Not really, In fact, I believe I'm awfully lucky to have friends who want me to be the best I can be." Fluttershy said, still smiling. The butterflies turned into Discord. "Oh, for goodness' sake!" Discord yelled. He couldn't take it, Fluttershy wasn't budging! He put his finger on her head, and just like that, she was brainwashed. "You've been kind for too long, my dear. Time to be cruel! Arrivaderc!" He said before teleporting away. Part of the wall collapsed to reveal Twilight, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, and Rarity. She was still holding the rock. Twilight trotted to Fluttershy. "Fluttershy! I'm so glad to see your friendly face! This awful labyrinth is getting to everypony!" She exclaimed, looking at the other enraged and dark three. "Oh, boo hoo hoo!" Fluttershy mocked. Twilight was shocked to hear this. "Why don't you make your magical little horn, and make everything alright!?" Fluttershy mocked. Twilight was confused. "Uh..." Was all she could say. "Oh that's right! You don't have one." Fluttershy mocked as she trotted away. She smacked Twilight with her tail. Twilight looked in disbelief. She saw Fluttershy hit Pinkie Pie, and Applejack's laughing! "What is happening to my friends?" Twilight asked herself. "What are YOU LAUGHING AT!?" Pinkie Pie exclaimed. "U-Uh, Chocolate Milk?" Applejack lied, doing that weird face again. *** "What am I going to do with that... Thing..." Discord muttered to himself. "From what I see, he's a poor kid... What a life. No wonder he's here." He said with a little bit of compassion. He snapped his fingers. "Yes! I shall haunt him with his past, and then put him in his evil state..." He laughed. *** Gohan was now walking at a steady pace. But something bad was happening. "Gohan!" A very, very similar voice called. Gohan stopped walking in shock. 'N-No...' He thought. He took one look behind him. It was Chi Chi, his mother. Discord's Return Pt. 3"Gohan! Why did you kill your father!?" Chi Chi yelled. "B-But mom... I-I didn't-" "Yes you did, don't you lie to me!" Chi Chi interrupted. "I-I'm not lying!" Gohan said, tears forming in his eyes. "Yes, you did Gohan." Another familiar voice said. Gohan looked to his side to see no other than his father, Goku. "D-Dad!?" Gohan asked. "You killed me! You got me killed! Gohan, you're the worst!" Goku yelled, pointing at Gohan. "What a shame." Another familiar voice called. It was Vegeta. Gohan looked to his other side to see Vegeta. "A boy with so much potential, now running to a land of girl dreams to avoid punishment for killing his own father. How disgusting." Vegeta said. "B-But..." Gohan said. "I can't believe you were my mentor." Future Trunks said behind Gohan. Gohan turned around. He donned his Saiyan armor. "How could you just let Goku die? The 'honorable' man you preach about, you murdered!" Trunks said. "I-I didn't kill him! I-I swear!" Gohan cried. "You did kill me Gohan, You DID!" Goku yelled. Piccolo appeared. "I should've left you to die a long time ago." He said, taking off his weights. "Let us finally punish you, you ungrateful murderer." Vegeta said. "W-What!?" Gohan cried. Goku, Trunks and Vegeta all went Super Saiyan. Chi Chi disappeared. Gohan was cornered, and let himself believe he was a terrible, ungrateful murderer. Gohan was close, he was turning dark. Things seemed very bleak... Then... "No, Gohan!" A similar voice called. Gohan immediately stopped turning dark. "D-Dad!?" Gohan called. "That's not me, Gohan!" The real Goku said in Other World. "Yes, you murderer?" The fake Goku said. "Gohan, they're fakes! Remember, you didn't kill me!" Goku called. Gohan wiped his tears. "You're right, dad!" Gohan said, turning Super Saiyan. "DIE!" The fake Vegeta yelled. Gohan only stood there. "You're not real." He said. The fake Vegeta instantly stopped. "You guys are just my memories..." Gohan said. "That's it Gohan!" Goku said. "Discord, show yourself!" Gohan yelled. The illusion disappeared. Discord appeared in front of Gohan. "Well, well, well. It didn't work! How swell." Discord said. "Your species alone confuses me. I'm not even thinking about how confusing you are when you talk." Gohan said, reverting back to his base form. "How did you figure it out? I'm DYING to know." Discord said, appearing next to Gohan. Gohan turned to his side and attempted to punch Discord. Discord teleported a few feet back. "Jeez, I'm just asking you a question..." Discord said, a halo suddenly appearing above his head. "Can you leave?" Gohan asked. "Oh, fine. It seems my magic doesn't work on you anyways. Ta, ta." Discord said before teleporting away. Part of the bush wall collapsed, revealing Twilight, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Rarity and Fluttershy. "Oh hey! Thank goodness I found you guys." Gohan said, running up to them. "Please tell me you're not insane either..." Twilight said, still holding Rarity's diamond. "I-I'm not. Why?" Gohan asked, taking the boulder off of Twilight. He held it over his head. "Thanks. They're all acting so weird!" Twilight said. "No we're not!" Applejack said, making that weird face again. Gohan couldn't help but snicker at the lie. "WHAT ARE YOU LAUGHIN' AT!?" Pinkie Pie yelled in Gohan's face. "W-Whoa... I see what you mean, Twilight." Gohan said. "Thank you very much for holding my diamond, Gohan." Rarity said. "Oh, your- Wait, diamond?" Gohan asked, looking up at the boulder. "Don't get any ideas of stealing it! I found it, so it's MINE!" Rarity said, pointing a hoof at Gohan. "Uh... Alright..." Gohan said. "Oh, too bad, Rarity. Your 'diamond' will be stolen, oh my that's SOOO bad." Fluttershy mocked. "H-Hang on, when did you start talking like that, Fluttershy?" Gohan asked. "It means nothing to you!" Fluttershy yelled. "I think we have a serious problem." Gohan said. "Agreed. I just hope Rainbow Dash doesn't go insane!" Twilight said. *** Rainbow Dash was speeding through the maze, watching out for any obstacle. But then she just saw a cloud with... Rainbow lightning? Rainbow Dash thought it was an Element of Harmony. "I've got you now, Element!" She said, chasing the cloud. The cloud led her straight to... Discord laying on a cloud hammock? With sunglasses? "I can see why you like these clouds so much, they're very plush!" Discord said. "Get off there and put 'em up!" Rainbow Dash said, standing on two legs and using her forehooves as fists. Discord sat up. "Hey... I'm just here to deliver a message!" He said. Rainbow Dash threatened with her hooves being thrown at the air. "I got a message for you too!" She exclaimed. "Listen closely." Discord said seriously, taking his sunglasses off. "This, is important." He said, suddenly moving all around Rainbow Dash. "A weighted choice is yours to make. The right selection, or a big mistake. If the wrong choice you choose, you pursue the foundations of home will crumble." Discord said, finally stopping moving. He snapped his fingers, and the cloud with rainbow lightning spun in front of Rainbow Dash, in an attempt to brainwash her. He showed something grim. He showed her home, Cloudsdale crumbling, being destroyed. "No!" Rainbow Dash yelled. A present appeared in front of Rainbow Dash. "That box contains your wings. You may take them and leave the game, or you can carry on in the maze, aimlessly lost." Discord said. With that, Rainbow Dash was turned dark. "Your choice." Discord said. *** Twilight, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Fluttershy and Gohan were still wandering. Gohan was still carrying Rarity's 'diamond'. "I know Rainbow Dash will find us, she's always there for us!" Twilight said. "Well lookie there, Rainbow Dash's flying away! That's no surprise." Applejack said, pointing a hoof at the sky. "Now I know that's a lie." Twilight said, looking up. Twilight was wrong. Rainbow Dash had her wings and was flying away! "W-What!?" Gohan exclaimed. Then, all of the maze walls fell, and storms filled the skies. "Well, well, well." Discord said. "Somepony broke the 'no wings no magic' rule!" He said, snapping his fingers. This gave Rarity and Twilight their horns back, and Fluttershy her wings back. "Game's over, my little friends!" Discord said, pointing at everyone. "You didn't find your precious Elements!" He said. He made an umbrella appear, and it was upside down. "Looks like we might be due for a big old storm of CHAOS!" He said, lightning bolts flying everywhere. Discord cackled. Gohan set the boulder down, flew up to his dragon face and punched it. Discord walked back a few steps and made his inside out umbrella disappear. "It seems you have challenged me. Very well." Discord said. Gohan flew at him again, carrying two ki blasts. "Gohan, no!" Twilight yelled. Gohan stopped to look back at Twilight. Discord used this to shoot a blast of fire at Gohan. Gohan received the full blast, which didn't do much damage or knockback except for ruin his gi with cuts and gunk. During all of this, the rest of the Mane 6 were all in an argument. "Ha, ha!" Fluttershy kept repeating. "STOP IT!" Pinkie Pie yelled. "No, haha ha ha, ha!" Fluttershy said. Rarity was protecting her 'diamond'. Applejack stepped beside it. "Hey Rarity? Twilight said we should split this 'diamond' seven ways since we, found it together." She said. Rarity kicked Applejack away. "Don't try, punk! He's mine, ALL MINE!" She said before charging at Applejack with a barrage of attacks. "Girls, why are you guys acting like this!?" Twilight asked. "We need to stick together!" She added. Gohan and Discord were evenly matched. As a result, ki and magic flew everywhere. Gohan appeared behind Discord and performed a double axe handle. Discord teleported before he reached the ground and appeared behind Gohan. He used an explosive spell on Gohan, sending him flying towards the ground. Gohan recovered, landing gently on the ground. At this point, he had minor cuts on his arms and face and his orange shirt was partially ripped off. "It seems you and I are very evenly matched! This is fun." Discord said. "Not for long." Gohan said, turning Super Saiyan. "W-What? You only... CHANGED YOUR MANE! Hahahah!" Discord laughed. Gohan smirked, and punched Discord in the stomach in an instant. Discord stopped laughing, and realized how much stronger Gohan was than him. He recoiled and bent over, grabbing his elongated stomach. He teleported beside Twilight. "Our game must end for now, this has been true entertainment." He said. Discord snapped his fingers to create a dark clone of Gohan, who he sent to fight. "What the heck?" Gohan asked. The clone was already a Super Saiyan. "Stop it, Discord! You're not playing fair!" Twilight yelled. Gohan had to deal with a random weaker, but substantially powerful clone of himself. The clone charged at Gohan, and Gohan charged at him. The battle started with a clash of fists and kicks. So, he was occupied with that. "Not fair? Perhaps we haven't met! I'm Discord, the spirit of chaos, and disharmony? Hello?" Discord asked. "How are we supposed to find the Elements of Harmony when you took away the labyrinth before we could get to the end!?" Twilight asked. "Oh wait, did you?-" Discord said, sitting on a random couch he summoned before laughing. "Oh, how funny! You thought the Elements were IN the labyrinth!?" He asked. He took Twilight back in time to remind her of what Discord said. "Twists and turns of my matter plan, then find the Elements, back where you began." The past Discord said. He took Twilight back to the present. "I never SAID that they were in the labyrinth!" Discord said, walking away. "B-But... But!" Twilight said. "Keep trying, Twilight Sparkle. Maybe the 'magic of friendship' can help you! Now if you'll excuse me, I have some chaos to reek!" Discord said, snapping his fingers and teleporting away. During all of this, Gohan and his dark clone were battling. Gohan and his clone threw many more punches and kick at each other. There was a ton of blocking, parrying and actually landed hits. The dark clone kicked Gohan multiple times before kicking him down to the ground. He charged up a tremendous blast and fired at Gohan. Gohan took the blast head on, and received quite some damage. But, he wasn't done yet! Gohan landed gently on the ground, flew up to his dark clone, and grabbed him by the leg. He spun his dark clone around many times. Eventually, he threw him up even further and fired a full power Kamehameha at him. This attack ultimately killed, and destroyed the clone. Gohan was pretty exhausted. His gi was in pretty bad shape, plus he had a few cuts, scapes and bruises. Especially the small gash in his shoulder. Gohan sat down, panting. "A-Are you alright, Gohan?" Twilight asked. "Y-Yeah.... I'll be... I'll be fine." Gohan said, looking to his side. Then, the cotton candy clouds returned, and they rained chocolate milk again. "Chocolate milk!?" Pinkie Pie asked. "I hate chocolate milk!" She exclaimed. "They have definitely gone insane." Gohan said. "Ugh, think Twilight, think!" Twilight said, thinking as hard as she could. Rarity was carrying her boulder, and Applejack jumped on it. "Don't touch my gem!" Rarity said. Fluttershy flew by. "I'm touching your gem, ha, HA!" She said, touching Rarity's gem. "What are YOU laughing at!?" Pinkie Pie yelled. Twilight groaned. "I just want to go home! Wait a minute... Home! Back where you began!" Twilight said. "Do you think that's where those elements are?" Gohan asked. "Yes, let's all go!" Twilight said. Discord's Return Pt. 4Gohan and the Mane 6 returned to Ponyville. It was a disaster! Pieces of the earth were flying, there was crazy weather and animal hybrids, buildings were upside down, those cotton candy clouds, and all sorts of random things! "Come on! I'm certain this is what Discord meant!" Twilight said, trotting away. Soon after, Angel and a bunch of bunnies with horse legs trampled Twilight. "Oh good boy Angel! Mama's so proud!" Fluttershy said as she smirked. "Fluttershy, why are you so mean?" Gohan asked. "Because YOU'RE so dumb, Gohan." Fluttershy mocked. "A-Again, why are you saying stuff like that...?" Gohan asked. "Go away, you freak!" Fluttershy said, trotting away from Gohan. "Oh... Alright." Gohan said, saddened. The sun fell, and the moon rose in an instant. The ground was flooded with soap. "Wow! I can see much better!" Applejack said sarcastically while trying to move. She ended up slipping, and knocking into Rarity, Fluttershy, and then Pinkie. They all fell flat on their faces. She stopped at Gohan, though. He didn't budge. "Uh, I meant to do that." Applejack lied. Twilight tried to get up, but the floor was so slippery that she fell again. Then the sun rose again in an instant. "Discord's turned our roads into SOAP!" Twilight exclaimed. Discord was nearby, sliding across the soap. "Beautiful, isn't it?" He said. He pointed at the disaster called Ponyville. "This is the new and improved Ponyville! And these are some of my FIRST changes..." he said. Gohan flew at him, holding a ki blast. Discord snapped his fingers and another dark Gohan clone appeared. "You're kidding..." Gohan muttered, turning Super Saiyan. Now an injured and tired Gohan had to fight against himself again. Pinkie Pie was sliding across the soap roads. "This may seem like fun... BUT it really isn't!" She exclaimed. "Now... Where were we? Oh yes, picture it!" Discord said, holding Twilight up. "The chaos capital of the world!" He exclaimed, as the sun went down and the moon rose again. "I can't picture it. It's too dark!" Twilight said. Discord dropped Twilight. An explosion of ki occurred near Discord and Twilight. Gohan had killed his clone... Again. Discord sighed and snapped his fingers again. This time, TWO more clones appeared. "Oh come on!" Gohan exclaimed, powering up. The two clones charged at Gohan, and they battled AGAIN. "Well, wait a few minutes and you'll see it in the beautiful light of day! Or not." Discord said, teleporting away. "Ponyville? The chaos capital of the world!? Not if I have anything to say about it!" Twilight exclaimed. Fluttershy was sliding across the soap road. "Don't worry!... You won't." She mocked, smirking. Gohan fired a second Kamehameha, killing the second clones... Again. Gohan floated back down to the ground and reverted back to his base form. He was REALLY exhausted now. In fact the whole orange shirt was ripped off, and blood dripped down his face and arms. "Oh my gosh, Gohan! Are you alright?" Twilight asked. "I-I don't know... Do you... Do you have a healing spell?" Gohan asked, groaning in pain. "Oh, you poor little thing!... Not." Fluttershy mocked, sliding away. "I'm going to try my best to ignore those, but it's harder than it looks." Gohan said. "Ugh, I know. Anyway, I have one back at the library, let's get there!" Twilight said, sliding away. *** Gohan flew overhead as 5 of the Mane 6 walked to Twilight's library. Twilight groaned. "Alright, we're here! Now everyone please, please, please just go inside, please!" She said. Applejack trotted inside. "I absolutely refuse!" She said, suddenly turning even darker. Fluttershy was flying. "With pleasure." She said, suddenly taking down a potted plant and stomping all over it. She turned even darker. Pinkie Pie trotted in. "I hate libraries!" She yelled. Rarity was trying to carry her boulder in. "I-I'll carry it if you c-can't do it, Rarity." Gohan said. "NO!" Rarity exclaimed. "Please!" Twilight said. "We gotta hurry!" She said. "Forget it, Twilight! I know what you're up to... The second I go in! You'll have your little minion Spike come in and take Tom!" Rarity shouted. "Tom?" Gohan and Twilight asked. "Well it's NOT going to work!" Rarity said, suddenly turning even darker. "You're not going in without him, are you." Twilight asked. Rarity shook her head. Gohan lifted the boulder with the little strength he had left. "Just get in!" Gohan yelled angrily, hurling the rock into the library. *** Spike was inside, napping on the floor next to a mop and a bucket full of water. Fluttershy took the bucket and dumped it all over Spike. Spike jolted awake, and shook the water off of him. "What'd you do that for, Fluttershy!?" He asked. Fluttershy had an evil smirk on her face. "Because you just look so peaceful!" She mocked. "I-Uh... Huh?" Spike asked, confused. "Here comes Tom!" Gohan yelled. Then, 'Tom' burst through the wall. "Careful, Gohan! Don't want to ruin his finish!" Rarity said. Gohan groaned. "For the love of..." Twilight said. "Twilight, what's going on? Why does everyone look so grey?" Spike asked. "Don't ask." Twilight said, carrying Spike on her back. "I need you to help me find two things." Twilight said, trotting into the library through the hole Gohan made. "Hey Twilight! What's soaking wet and clueless?" Fluttershy asked. "Fluttershy, I've had just about enou-" Twilight said before being splashed with water. "Your face!" Fluttershy mocked, putting the bucket on Twilight's face. "Fluttershy, stop it already!" Gohan said. "What are you going to do, change your stupid mane?" Fluttershy mocked. Gohan remained silent from there on forward. Well, towards Fluttershy at least. "What's going on with everyone!?" Spike asked. Applejack trotted past Spike. "I think you've brought out the worst in us, Spike." She said. "Why are you blaming Spike? He didn't even do anything!" Gohan said. "Yeah. Exactly." Fluttershy sneered, Gohan grunted angrily. Twilight was looking through her library. "We need to find a reference guide to the Elements of Harmony before SOMEONE does something they'll regret!" She said. "Oh, and a healing spell." She added. "The Elements of Harmony? I know exactly where that book is! And I know the healing spell too!" Spike said, climbing up his ladder and getting the two books. "Found them!" Spike said, holding two books. Fluttershy threw a scroll at Spike, causing him to drop the books. She caught the two books and carried them in the air. "Ha!" Fluttershy said. "Fluttershy!" Twilight growled. "You better give me that book!" She said. "Keep away!" Fluttershy said, throwing the books to Applejack. "Applejack! Give me those books!" Twilight said. "I don't have any book." Applejack said, tossing them to Pinkie, who tossed them again. "Pinkie!" Twilight yelled. Fluttershy caught the books again. "You guys!" Twilight yelled. Fluttershy threw the books to Applejack again. Twilight chased after the book again, again and again. Rarity took the book this time, and eventually Twilight was brawling against everyone else. After the brawl, Twilight finally had the book. "All of you, stay back! This is MINE!" Twilight yelled. Spike used a scroll as a baton. The others were slowly trotting up to her. This was the boiling point for Gohan. It was so much so that he just screamed, screamed and turned Super Saiyan. He stood in between Twilight and the others. This caused everyone to stop. "FOR GOODNESS' SAKE! Let her keep the damn book or I'll blast you without any kind of hesitation!" Gohan yelled, holding a ki blast in his palm. "That's a load of hooey!" Applejack said. Gohan yelled in anger, kicking Applejack, knocking her to the wall. "DOES THAT SOUND LIKE HOOEY TO YOU!?" Gohan screamed. Everyone REALLY stopped moving this time. Applejack rubbed the place Gohan hit. Her chest, mainly. Twilight opened the book to the healing spell, and performed it on Gohan. It only healed Gohan up to half of his strength. "Thanks." Gohan said. "It's the most I can do at the moment." Twilight said. "Just find your element thingy." Gohan said. Twilight opened the book for the Elements of Harmony. She gasped. "The Elements! They're right here!" Twilight exclaimed. "This is great! Now you guys can defeat Discord!" Spike said. Twilight closed the book. "See? We found the Elements of Harmony together!" Twilight exclaimed. Applejack was laying against the wall, Fluttershy was playing with Pinkie Pie's hair, Pinkie Pie sat there with and angry face, and Rarity was polishing 'Tom'. "You guys don't really care, do you." Twilight said. They said: "No." Gohan reverted back to his base form. "I'm sorry I did that... My anger got the best of me again." He said, bowing his head. "It's alright, Gohan." Spike said. "I thought it would never happen... My friends..." Twilight said, with a sad face. "TURNED INTO COMPLETE JERKS!" She yelled, with an angry face this time. Twilight used her magic to put the necklaces on each pony. "And the big giant crown." She said, putting her crown on. "Let's go!" Twilight said. "Aren't we missing someone?" Spike asked. "No, we got the liar, the grump, the hoarder, and the brute!" Twilight said. "I'm talking about Rainbow Dash!" Spike said. "Congratulations Spike! You're the new Rainbow Dash." Twilight said, putting the necklace on Spike. "Let's go!" She exclaimed, trotting away. "B-But what if she finds out I'm impersonating her!? That won't end well." Spike said. "Too bad, you're Rainbow Dash. Now let's all go talk to Discord so we don't have to ever talk to each other AGAIN!" Twilight said, trotting away. Applejack, Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy all ran after Twilight. They all trampled Spike. Rarity was pushing her big boulder. Gohan groaned. "Here, let me hold it." He said, carrying 'Tom' again. Gohan threw it out the same hole again, making it land right next to Pinkie Pie. "Well, well, well! I see you've found the Elements of Harmony." Discord said. As soon as Gohan stepped out of the library, Discord snapped his fingers to summon another 3 clones. Gohan took a deep breath. The stress was really getting to him. He went Super Saiyan and battled again. "Yes, anyhow! How terrifying!" Discord mocked. "Discord! I've figured out your lame riddle! You're in for it now!" Twilight said. "I certainly am. You've clearly outdueled me, and it's now time to meet my fate." Discord said sarcastically, putting sunglasses on. "I'm prepared to be defeated now, ladies. Fire when ready!" He said, making a target appear on his chest. "Formation, now!" Twilight yelled. Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Rarity and Fluttershy all groaned as they got into formation. "Rainbow Dash, get out here!" Twilight yelled. Spike was hiding behind 'Tom'. He ran up to the formation. "Alright, let's get this over with." Twilight said. Her crown glowed, with caused winds to appear. The other ponies except Spike were all floating. A light shone, but it just didn't work. The light stopped, and everyone fell on their faces. "What?" Twilight asked. "Mine's okay, it must be YOURS that doesn't work!" Applejack said. "I hate the Elements of Harmony!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed. Fluttershy just tossed hers aside. "Garbage." She said. Rarity took Fluttershy's necklace. "MINE!" She exclaimed. "Sorry Twilight." Spike said, leaving his necklace by Twilight. He started walking away. "I better get back upstairs and clean the library. Good luck with your-" He said before being tripped by Fluttershy's tail. "Oops. Sorry Rainbow CRASH!" Fluttershy mocked. "Is there anyone else willing to take a shot?" Discord asked. "JUST ONE!" Gohan yelled, in his base form. He had one hand over the other on his forehead. A yellow ball of ki could be seen. "MASENKO!" He yelled, blasting Discord with everything he had left. Discord took the blast head on. It damaged him a little bit. It gave him a few scratches. "Oh my, it seems you have damaged me." Discord said. Gohan could barely stand anymore. He put as much as he had left into his blast. Discord snapped his fingers, summoning a fire blast at Gohan. Gohan braced for impact, crossing his arms in front of him. A huge explosion ensued. After the fire had died down, Gohan was nowhere to be seen. "Oh well, he's out of the picture." Discord said. He began to clap and walk around. "Bravo, ponies! Bravo! Harmony in Equestria is officially dead! Especially your hero. Discord rules, Celestia drools!" He said before sliding away and laughing madly. Twilight stood there, shocked. "G-Gohan... Dead?" Twilight asked. Discord's Return Pt. 5Twilight looked all over where Discord had hit. "No, nononono!" Twilight kept repeating. "Aw, too bad! The freak's dead." Fluttershy mocked, laughing afterward. "Fluttershy, you... Are so mean!" Twilight exclaimed. "I'm outta here!" Pinkie Pie yelled, hopping away. "I better get back to the farm. I got new, better friends there!" Applejack said, trotting away. Rarity was pushing 'Tom' back to her boutique. "Yeah, I'm sick of hanging with LOSERS." Fluttershy said, flying away. "Fine!" Twilight called. "I don't need you! With friends like you, I don't... Need...." Twilight stopped. "Enemies." She said, turning dark. A very loud roar could be heard from inside the library. Twilight hadn't bothered to check it. She trotted around Ponyville, which was turning into an even worse disaster. The bunnies had horse legs, buffalos were ballerinas all of a sudden, ponies walked in midair, pies are flying, and a cotton candy cloud raining chocolate milk followed a very depressed Twilight. Discord appeared next to Twilight, laughing. "Oh, ho! My stomach!" He said, beginning to walk alongside Twilight. "Twilight, you have GOT to see what I just did!" Discord said, pointing at a scene. A giant pepper shaker was pouring pepper on a pony, which made her sneeze. After the sneeze, the houses all fell down like cardboard. Discord was laughing like a little boy. "Priceless!" He said. Finally, he noticed Twilight's depressing mood. Discord teleported in front of Twilight with a cotton candy cone, and put the cotton candy cloud on it. "Come on, get into the spirit of things! After all, this is your new home!" He said, eating some of the cotton candy. Twilight looked at her 'home'. "Not anymore." She said, trotting away, towards the library. "Yes!" Discord shouted, claiming victory. "With the Elements and that nuisance of a child out of the way, I'VE WON! Hahahaha!" He laughed, teleporting away. *** "G-Gohan! You're alive!" Spike exclaimed, seeing a very injured and tired Gohan. "A book fell on my shoulder, UGH!" Gohan exclaimed. Gohan survived the fire blast. He ran into the library as the explosion occurred. No one happened to notice. He roared when the book fell on him. "Oh man, we need Twilight for that healing spell, and fast!" Spike said. "I know it's rude, but would you happen to have something to eat?" Gohan asked. "Uh..." Spike said, scanning his surroundings. He saw a cotton candy cloud right by the door, so hey! He went and got it. "Here's something." Spike said, handing the huge cotton candy cloud to Gohan. Gohan chowed down on the cloud instantly. "I forgot your... Appetite." Spike said. "Thanks..." Gohan said. Spike burped up a message from Celestia. Little did they know, the cotton candy clouds had a neat perk. Slowly, but surely, they were healing Gohan's wounds. First internally, then externally. Gohan soon got up, examining himself. "How are you standing again?" Spike asked, before burping another message. Gohan examined one of his wounds. They were healing! "I... I'm healing?" Gohan asked. "No way. You were just being fried a minute ago!" Spike exclaimed. "No, seriously! Look!" Gohan said, showing Spike one of his healing wounds. It was his shoulder. "What the heck!?" Spike exclaimed, before burping a ton more messages. "Again, what the heck!" Spike exclaimed. The sun fell and the moon rose again. Twilight came in through the door, dark and depressed. "Pack your things Spike, we're- Gohan?" Twilight asked. Gohan turned around. "Hey! You- Oh man, not you too!" He said. "What difference does it make." Twilight said, trotting upstairs. "It makes a huge difference!" Gohan said. "Twilight! Cotton candy healed Gohan!" Spike exclaimed, burping another message. "This is really starting to hurt..." Spike said. "I don't care!" Twilight said, packing a suitcase. "Don't ask where we're going, Spike. I don't know yet. Just not here." She said. Twilight dumped her crown in the trash can. Gohan flew up to Twilight. "Twilight, you can't just give up like this!" He said. Spike burped another message from Celestia. "Dang it!" He yelled. "I can. There's nothing we can do." Twilight said. "But you'll doom this world if you don't-" "SHUT UP!" Twilight yelled. A very awkward silence ensued. Well, until Spike burped again. "Why!?" He yelled. "Just go." Twilight said. Gohan didn't move for a few minutes. Spike burped another message. He groaned very loudly. Eventually he spoke up. "Fine." He said. Gohan flew out of the library through the hole he made. He made sure to keep a low profile in case Discord was around. *** Gohan made it home, and entered the shack. He sat on his bed, confused, angry and tired. "Did I just lose my best friends?...." Gohan asked himself. Gohan was tossing and turning, not trying to sleep but trying to figure out how to defeat Discord. He was drawing up a plan in his head. "If I'm seen, he'll just spawn clones..." Gohan said to himself. "Dang it, I can't do it!" Gohan exclaimed. "What would dad do?" Gohan asked. "Your dad would help you, Gohan." Goku said, from Other World. Gohan jolted into a sat up position. "D-Dad?" He asked. "Gohan, you have the power to defeat him! You know that!" Goku called. "B-But he'll keep spawning clones, and I won't be able to touch him!" Gohan said. "Gohan, he won't beat you if you unleash your rage! You have to do it again!" Goku called. "Y-You mean... What I did against Cell!?" Gohan asked. "Yes. His clones won't get to you if you unleash your hidden potential, Gohan!" Goku called. "You're right!" Gohan said. Gohan quickly changed into a fresh gi, one that wasn't ruined. Gohan tightened the belt. "Thanks, dad!" He said. "Good luck, Gohan. I'm cheering for you." Goku called. Gohan flew to where he could sense Discord. He was going to end it, once and for all! His friends turning on him, his past and Discord fueled him with rage. Gohan was ready. But can he unleash it again? *** "Twilight, make it stop...." Spike said, burping another message from Celestia. Twilight used her magic to view one of the messages. "These are the messages I've sent to her!" Twilight said. Spike groaned as he tried to get up. "Why would she send them back?" Twilight asked. Twilight read out the many messages she sent to Celestia, all about friendship. While doing this, she was being purified, regaining her colors again. "Spike, I've figured it out!" Twilight said, using her magic to pick Spike up. She rubbed her face against Spike's, who was groaning. "Discord's been distracting us from what's important!" Twilight said, hopping around in a circle. She used her magic to carry Spike around it too. "He knows how powerful our friendship is, and he's been trying to keep us from seeing it!" Twilight said. At this point, Spike trying not to throw up. Finally, it stopped. "Do you remember what I said the first day we arrived in Ponyville?" Twilight asked. She stopped using her magic and held Spike in her hooves. "I said the future of Equestria didn't rest on me making friends! The opposite is true!" She said, throwing Spike aside. "The friendships I've made here are what have saved Equestria from Nightmare Moon! And... a little bribe, I guess. And now we need to save it from Discord!" Twilight said, stomping her hoof and putting Spike to bed. "I've got to fight for my friendships, for them! For me! For Equestria!" Twilight exclaimed. Spike was groaning in pain. "Oh... I'll take care of Equestria myself, you can go rest." Twilight said, leaving Spike to be. Spike burped out another message from Celestia. Then, from there, Twilight was on her quest to reverse and purify the rest of the Mane 6. *** Outer Parts of Ponyville "Discord!" Gohan yelled. Discord sat upon his throne, sipping chocolate milk. As soon as he saw Gohan, he spat out his milk. "You? I thought you were dead?" He said. "Far from it. Let's settle this!" Gohan yelled, turning Super Saiyan. The zenkai boost from the last encounter increased Gohan's power immensely. Discord snapped his fingers to create two clones for Gohan to fight. "Give me some entertainment, why don't you?" He said, spawning popcorn and sunglasses. Gohan flew at his clones, who flew at him. The two clones attempted to hit Gohan on both sides with their punches. Gohan flew up to dodge this, and flew behind one of the clones to deliver a heavy punch. It went through it's body. The punch caused the clone to die by turning into dust and disintegrating. "Hm... This will be problematic." Discord said, snapping his fingers. Four more clones appeared. Gohan was just finished killing the other clone with a heavy roundhouse kick. He saw the incoming clones. He simply grunted and flew at them. Two of the clones all knocked Gohan away with a kick and a punch. The other clones attempted to kick Gohan back to the first two, but Gohan flew up to avoid it. Gohan threw two powerful ki blasts, which successfully killed two clones. Discord snapped his fingers, spawning ten more clones. He was eating the popcorn by the bagful. Gohan landed and saw the monstrous wave of clones coming after him. "Kamehameha!" He yelled, firing the Kamehameha wave. This killed four of the clones. The rest were still charging at Gohan. Gohan was overwhelmed by eight of his clones, and received eight dropkicks. Gohan recovered before flying too far away, using his hand and feet to stop his momentum. Discord had spawned fifty more clones in the meantime. Fifty-eight clones cornered Gohan. He had no way of running now. One clone flew at Gohan, attempting to kick him. Gohan dodged and performed a double axe handle on the clone, killing it. Another clone performed a full nelson on Gohan, preventing him to move effectively. Gohan struggled trying to get out of it. Two more clones blasted Gohan. The blast ended up killing the clone holding Gohan, but at least did some damage to him. Gohan's gi was ripped up a little bit. Gohan grunted as he performed an attack similar to Piccolo's, the Super Explosive Wave. He put his hands on opposite shoulders. He bent his knees and grunted very loudly. He glowed yellow, then let his arms and legs fly out freely! He yelled throughout it all. A huge yellow explosion ensued. This killed all of the clones, at the cost of some stamina. Discord snapped his fingers yet again, and this time five hundred clones appeared. "DAMN YOU!" Gohan yelled as he powered up. Gohan flew at the horde, killing as many as he could. However, this endless bout took a toll on Gohan, and he began to lose heavily. The clones knocked Gohan back and forth, further ruining his gi and depleting his energy. Gohan was probably going to die, he couldn't stay as a Super Saiyan. "Wowee! What a show, child." Discord said. Gohan was being held by his clones. Discord flew to Gohan. "Such bravery... It was fun to have you here, Gohan. I know that because I know you now, so we're like best friends. Anyway, time to die." Discord said, making a powerful, unknown form of magic appear in his lion paw. Discord was ready to throw it at Gohan. "GOHAN!" A very similar voice yelled. Discord's Return Pt. 6Discord was struck by an unknown source. Whatever it was, it was powerful. It even killed all of the clones. Gohan was in hooves... Or arms, actually. Who was this mysterious source? How did it harm Discord? Was it the Mane 6? He opened his eyes to see no other than his late father. "D... Dad?..." Was all Gohan could muster at the moment. "Gohan. You can't let your anger go, unleash it! It's the only way!" Goku said. "D-Dad..." Gohan said. "Son, I know you can do this. Now make me proud!" Goku said, suddenly disappearing. Gohan closed his eyes yet again. Until he fell on the ground, that is. Gohan opened his eyes. "He believes me... I can..." Gohan said as he stood up. "What was that just now?" Discord asked. "That was my father." Gohan called to Discord. "And you forgot ONE thing, Discord!" Gohan yelled. Gohan channeled of his anger towards Discord, his friends and his past to power up immensely. He yelled to no bounds. An explosion of yellow aura ensued, terrorizing Discord. After it died down, a huge dust covered Gohan. You could see lightning sparks around the unseen Gohan. After the dust disappeared, it revealed Gohan. Gohan was different. His hairstyle had changed too, with all of his hair spiking up, and about 20 strands of it dropping down. It looked bizarre. "I'm my father's son." Gohan said. Gohan was now a Super Saiyan 2! Discord was scared, and that's rare. He snapped his fingers to form hundreds of clones. They all darted towards Gohan, but they suddenly stopped. Gohan had moved from where he stood originally to behind the horde. The entire horde disintegrated. "W-What is this!?" Discord yelled. He was about to teleport away, but Gohan had punched him in the elongated stomach by then. He knocked Discord back into his throne with a powerful kick. "KAMEHAMEHA!" Gohan yelled as he fired a full power Kamehameha wave at Discord. In his Super Saiyan 2 form, no less. Discord screamed in agony as the Kamehameha slowly but surely turned him into stone. A huge blast could be seen across the horizon! After the Kamehameha died down, the smoke and dust slowly died as well. Gohan floated back to the ground. "I did it, dad." He muttered. He ended it in an instant. *** "Alright, now lets go challenge D-" Twilight said before noticing the huge Kamehameha wave being blasted across the horizon. "What the heck!?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Is that...?" Twilight asked. "Gohan?" Fluttershy asked. "D-Didn't he die?" She asked. "No, he survived." Twilight said. "Oh no! I need to go apologize to him!" Fluttershy added instantly. "Let's all go, dang it! He could be in trouble!" Rainbow Dash said. The Mane 6 had been purified again. They were ready to wield the Elements of Harmony again. They rushed to where Gohan was. *** Gohan stared at the stone Discord. 'I guess he can't die.' Gohan thought to himself. He sensed six power levels approaching. At that time, Equestria had finally begun to reverse the chaos Discord caused. 'Finally...' Gohan thought. "Gohan!" The Mane 6 yelled. "Are you o-" Twilight asked before seeing the Super Saiyan 2, and the stone Discord. Gohan slowly took a look behind his shoulder. His new look scared the Mane 6. He turned to them. "G-Gohan? What happened?" Twilight asked. "I took care of Discord." Gohan said. Gohan's gaze alone scared the Mane 6, and the lightning around him made it worse. "A-Are you alright?" Fluttershy asked. Gohan stared. He was a little surprised that Fluttershy wasn't acting mean again. "G-Gohan?" Pinkie Pie asked. "We're sorry for being jerks, can you forgive us all?" Rainbow Dash asked. ... Gohan just gave them the silence. "...We understand..." Fluttershy said, sadness evident. "Yeah, I'm sure you do. You were under some sort of spell." Gohan said. That kind of lifted the hopes. "So...? You're...!?" Twilight asked. Gohan smiled. "I'm glad to." He said. The Mane 6 all hugged Gohan. Though from our point of view it looks like a badass being hugged by horses. "Oh how DID you change your mane like that?" Rarity asked. "...Anger." Gohan said. "A-Anger?... Oh my..." Fluttershy said. "It's not the first time. Don't worry." Gohan said. "S-So... We didn't need the Elements this time?" Rainbow Dash asked. Gohan broke the group hug. "I need you guys to keep this a secret." Gohan said, reverting back to his base form. "Excuse me?" Applejack asked. "Sorry... But I don't want anyone to know I did this." Gohan said, pointing at Discord. "Why not? You'd be applauded for your awesomeness!" Rainbow Dash said. "I don't want any of that... Just tell everyone that you guys stopped Discord." Gohan said. "WHAT!?" Applejack asked. "B-But why?" Pinkie Pie asked. "I don't want to be noticed by everyone." Gohan said. "Good job my little ponies!" Celestia said, flying down. "What? Princess Celestia?" Twilight asked. "You all defeated Discord with the Elements of Harmony after rediscovering your friendship!" Celestia said. "Well actually-" Rainbow Dash said before Gohan stuck his hand on her mouth. "Yep! It was all them!" Gohan said with a grin and closed eyes. "You assisted as well, didn't you?" Celestia asked. "I tried. Only got a scratch on him." Gohan said. "Well, you shall be honored for attempting." Celestia said. "Uh... Can you not let anyone know?" Gohan asked. "Why not?" Celestia asked. "I'm already featured in that stained glass... I don't want anything else." Gohan said. "Well... It may be unorthodox... But I shall indulge. Congratulations, we will hold a ceremony in Canterlot!" Celestia said. *** There was a huge celebration at Canterlot. The Mane 6 were honored for destroying evil yet again. Gohan stood in the crowds, smiling the entire time. "We are gathered here today to once again to honor these six, who stood up to Discord, and saved Equestria from eternal chaos!" Celestia pronounced. The ponies cheered. Celestia revealed a new glass window. One that shocked many, including Gohan. Gohan was the one who stopped Discord in the glass. In his Super Saiyan 2 form. The crowds went silent. The Mane 6 were all shocked. "W-Who is that!?" A pony asked. "I believe we are due an explanation from somepony in the audience." Celestia said. 'No...' Gohan thought. "Son Gohan, please come up here." Celestia said. "Who's that?" Many ponies asked. Twilight was afraid for Gohan for... Wait, what? Lying about not being the hero...? Sounds reasonable for the death penalty, I'm sure you'll agree. Gohan stepped up to Celestia. "This is the one who stopped Discord." Celestia said. The audience was shocked. "WHAT!?" The crowds asked. Gohan was scared. "H-How did you..." He asked. "I witnessed your bout with Discord." Celestia said. "But he don't look like that pony in the glass!" A pony called out. "It's because he has transformed. As a reward for his heroic deeds, Son Gohan will be issued a ticket to the Grand Galloping Gala!" Celestia declared. The ponies clapped slowly, then began to cheer. "W-Wait!" Gohan said. Everyone stopped. "I... I don't want this reward." Gohan said. "WHAT!?" The audience yelled. "Why not? You rid Equestria of this evil!" Celestia called. "I... I don't want to receive praise for this. I have to credit them for allowing me to tap into my hidden potential." Gohan said, pointing at the Mane 6. "Gohan?" Twilight asked. "Without them, and another great source, I would not have been able to do that. Please, give them the reward. I am not worthy." Gohan said. Gohan even surprised Celestia with his request. "W-Well... I suppose I shall reward Twilight Sparkle and her friends... I also suppose I shall reward you with necessary currency..." Celestia said. "I-I..." Gohan said. "Please, Son Gohan. You will receive a ticket to the Gala, plus one. And a hefty reward of five thousand bits." Celestia said. "W-What!? W-Wait, I don't know about that!" Gohan said, sticking his arms out and shaking hands. "Take it!" A pony yelled. "Now, Gohan." A very similar voice said. Gohan's pupils dilated as soon as he heard the voice. He turned around to see... Goku. He had a halo. "You deserve this reward." Goku said. "Who are you?" Celestia asked. "Dad!?" Gohan asked. "Dad!?" Everyone, and I mean every single pony asked. "DAD!" Gohan yelled, running up to him and giving him a tackle hug. "T-That's Gohan's father!?" The Mane 6 asked. "Hey there, Gohan!" Goku said, hugging Gohan back. "Sir, what is your name." A royal guard called. "I'm Son Goku! You can just call me Goku." Goku said. "Darling, you must be an angel! You have a halo!" Rarity said. "That just means I'm dead." Goku chuckled. "What!?" Twilight and Celestia asked. "This has gone way off course, we will have a meeting at a different time." Celestia said. "I just wanted to see my son, I have to leave." Goku said. "Don't go yet...." Gohan said. "Sorry Gohan. I'll keep calling you from time to time." Goku said, patting his son. "Alright..." Gohan said, breaking the hug. "I know I've asked already, but take good care of my son for me." Goku said, putting two fingers on his forehead. "ALIENS!" A pony yelled. "W-We'll make sure of that, sir..." Applejack said. "Alright, see ya!" Goku said, teleporting back to Other World. "Gohan... Y-Your father..." Twilight said. Gohan chuckled. The event will not bode well for Gohan soon enough. *** Gohan's Shack Gohan was just about ready to go to bed. He had a long day, dealing with Discord and all. He even reached Super Saiyan 2 again. Although he was the savior, he lied about his deeds. He claimed to have done nothing, and that the Mane 6 did it. He was found out. He didn't want attention, so yeah. That's what happened. He didn't know, but many ponies who wrote the newspapers began to write about Gohan. Gohan was glad to receive five thousand bits as a reward, and the ticket for the Gala. But he feared that ponies would start talking about him after the events today. A very loud knock came from Gohan's door. Gohan opened the door to be greeted with a note. It read: "Library, Noon. Tomorrow. Why? I need to ask you some questions. Twilight Sparkle" "Uh oh..." Gohan said. Gohan knew why he was summoned. What do you think? What other wacky things will Gohan go through? Will he be able to steer away from attention? Beginning of Gohan's Nightmare (Twilight's Questioning)Twilight's Treehouse "HOW DID YOU DO ALL THOSE THINGS!?" Twilight asked instantly. "Be quiet, please!" Gohan said. "Sorry, sorry. Just..." Twilight said, grabbing a notebook and pencil with her magic. "Tell me. You've been doing these things and I haven't asked why." Twilight said. "Okay, but hold on. Who's there!" Gohan called. "What?" Twilight asked. "There's someone else here... And it's not Spike." Gohan said. "Pinkie, get out here." He said. "P-Pinkie?" Twilight asked. Pinkie Pie crawled out of Twilight's trash can. "Awwww You caught me!" Pinkie Pie said. "H-How!?" Twilight asked. "Pinkie, I advise you leave before you get... Surprised." Gohan said. "Nopony surprises me, I surprise everypony!" Pinkie Pie said. "Plan a party. Trust me, I know when a party's going to happen." Gohan said. "You're a good joker! Anyway, bye!" Pinkie Pie said, zipping out of the treehouse. "Okay, now I need you to keep all of this under covers." Gohan said. "You have my word." Twilight said. "I... I have super abilities, as you know. I'm surprised no one asked about it yet. I expected something about aliens. Do you want to know why I have abilities?" Gohan asked. "Yes please!" Twilight said. "Remember ki?" Gohan asked. "Yes. Tell me what that is." Twilight said. "It's pretty much life force, strength, and power levels." Gohan said, holding a ball of spare ki in his hands. "It's... So weird... It isn't magic?" Twilight asked, writing notes. "It isn't magic. Well, catch!" Gohan said, tossing the ball at Twilight. Twilight was startled. "Ahh!" She yelled as the ball didn't explode, but went inside her. "W-What?" She asked. "Why do I feel stronger all of a sudden?" She asked. "I gave you some of my ki. I can use it to give others strength or harm others. Or..." Gohan said. "Kill?" Twilight asked. "Yes. I've used it so well that when I was four, I exploded a mountain." Gohan said. "WHAT!?" Twilight asked. "Yep. Don't tell Rainbow Dash this, but I'm faster than her." Gohan whispered. "N-No, she's the fastest flier in Equestria! She broke the speed of sound!" Twilight said. "Yes, her Sonic Rainboom was fast. I wasn't fazed too much. But I can... Well, go light speed." Gohan said. "Impossible." Twilight said. "You sure?" Gohan asked, appearing behind Twilight. "AHH!" Twilight screamed. "See, I can change it all I want." Gohan said. "I-Is this ki? How did you do that?" Twilight asked. "I guess it's ki. It's also because I trained seriously." Gohan said. "How are you such a good street fighter?" Twilight asked. "I'm a martial artist, wishing to be a scholar. It's definitely not street fighting." Gohan said. "How? Aren't you just throwing attacks out of nowhere?" Twilight asked. "Martial arts requires skill. It's not just throwing a punch. You need to hone your skills, have a calmed mind, and only fight when needed. When you do fight, you calculate your opponent's rhythm, distance, movements and predict what they will do. You also tend to aim for serious parts of the body, rather than blindly attacking a random part of the body." Gohan explained. Twilight wrote it all down. "Okay... Who's weaker than you?" She asked. "Hm... I was stronger than my dad in Super Saiyan... I am the only Super Saiyan 2... I'd say Discord and the princesses are weaker than me." Gohan said. "No way, the princesses are the strongest!" Twilight said. "Sorry, but I can destroy the sun, moon, and this planet." Gohan said. "Uh... A very serious claim..." Twilight said. "I don't intend to do any of that, but I also know the princesses are suppressing their strengths." Gohan said. "What?" Twilight asked. "They only show it when raising the moon and sun." Gohan said. "How can you tell?" Twilight asked. "Their kis are the strongest whenever they do it. However, when we're around them, they feel as strong as a regular pony. I do that very often." Gohan said. "You can even sense others with ki? Is that why you knew Pinkie was here?" Twilight asks. "Yeah, it's why her parties never surprise me." Gohan said. "W-What? Nobody can expect Pinkie's parties!" Twilight said. "When she pops up out of nowhere, she's usually in a trash can or behind a tarp against the wall." Gohan said. "W-What? How do you..." Twilight asked. "When she wants to surprise us with a party, there's usually many ponies in one space. That's why some of my reactions are delayed." Gohan said. "So that's why you were expressionless when she had her first surprise party." Twilight said. "Yes. Any other questions?" Gohan asked. "Yeah. How did your father visit if he's DEAD!?" Twilight asked. "I don't know the answer to that. He died twice, I can't tell you." Gohan said. "Alright... Wait, what? Twice? How'd he- You know what? Nevermind." Twilight said. "Okay. I only hope Celestia didn't give me too much attention." Gohan said, walking to the door. "Wait." Twilight said. "What?" Gohan asked. "Just... Look at this." Twilight said, grabbing a newspaper for today. It read: 'Weird Alien Defeats Discord, Refuses Reward' "That can't be good." Gohan said. "Just... Good luck. See you later." Twilight said. Gohan stepped outside Twilight's library, and instantly ran home. The good thing was, he wasn't noticed by anyone. At least he thought. Gohan cleared the skies in an instant for noon, and was home within a minute. Gohan was about to enter his shack. "Hold it right there, buster!" Rainbow Dash yelled. 'Uh oh.' Gohan thought. He turned around. Rainbow Dash was flying at Gohan. "You were fast! When were you able to do that?" Rainbow Dash asked as she landed. "Uh... I don't know. I think I just rushed." Gohan said. "I demand a race!" Rainbow Dash said. "Oh gee, I don't know Rainbow." Gohan said, scratching the back of his head. "You'd probably win." He said. "But I still have my doubts about you." Rainbow Dash said. "No, I'd rather not. It'd be a waste of time for you." Gohan said. "Fine. If you do something cool like that again, you HAVE to race me!" Rainbow Dash said. "Uh... Alright..." Gohan said. "See you around." Rainbow Dash said, flying away. "That was close..." Gohan sighed. "Excuse me!" A voice rang. Gohan looked in the distance to see a purple pony. It was Cheerilee, a school teacher at Ponyville Schoolhouse. Gohan's Nightmare (The Terrible News, and Hope Regained)"Hello! Who are you, miss?" Gohan asked, bowing his head. "I'm Cheerilee, a schoolteacher at Ponyville Schoolhouse. I've come to ask... How old are you?" Cheerilee asked. "I'm... Twelve." Gohan said. He forgot, he doesn't have a calendar. "I thought so! You're underage!" Cheerilee said, pointing a hoof at Gohan. "U-Um... Yes?" Gohan said. "Is that a problem?" He asked. "Yes it is. You can't simply own a residence, and you must go to school!" Cheerilee said. "W-What? Are you telling me I have to go to grade school?" Gohan asked. "Yes. You need to find a different place of residence. One with an adult. The mayor of Ponyville, Mayor Mare has summoned you." Cheerilee said. "Uh... Okay... Where's Mayor Mare?" Gohan asked. "I will take you to her. Then I must return to the schoolhouse." Cheerilee said, trotting away. "Follow me." She added. 'Uh oh...' Gohan thought. *** "Mr. Son, I've summoned you here for a reason. You're underage. Also you defeated Discord, thank you very much for that." Mayor Mare said. "Uh... Yes... Can I keep my job in the sky?" Gohan asked. "I don't believe so, despite your weird ability to fly." Mayor Mare said. "W-What am I going to do!?" Gohan asked. "Firstly, you may probably keep your job as weather pony. Secondly, you must attend school at Ponyville Schoolhouse. Thirdly, you must find a different residence, one with at least one adult to take care of you." Mayor Mare said. Gohan was wide eyed. "Please tell me you're lying..." He said. "I'm afraid not." Mayor Mare said. "I want you to know that I respect you, but everypony must abide by the law." She added. "Alright... W-When do I start school?" Gohan asked. "You start... Tomorrow. Today's Monday, be at Ponyville Schoolhouse by 8:30 AM." Mayor Mare said, scanning Gohan's schedule. She handed the schedule to Gohan. "You will need this." She said. Gohan took the paper and sighed. "Oh well." He said. "Well, you may have to be at the orphanage. Your shack will be owned by the government. Here's a suitcase." Mayor Mare said, giving Gohan a small suitcase. "Take your belongings and put it inside. If you find somepony to take you in, you won't have to be at the orphanage." Mayor Mare said. Gohan had a sad look. "Alright." He said. "Have a good afternoon." He added as he left. *** Gohan went home, packed his clothes and bits and left. He flew to Twilight's Treehouse. Gohan knocked on Twilight's door. "Come in!" Twilight yelled. Gohan opened the door and entered. "Twilight, I'm in trouble." He said. "What's wrong?" Twilight asked. "I'm getting kicked out of my house, and I have to go to school. I think I lost my job, too." Gohan said. "Oh. That's not good... I can't house you, sorry." Twilight said. "I wasn't going to ask that, but do you know anyone else who can?" Gohan asked. "Maybe Applejack or Fluttershy... I don't know about them, but it's worth a shot." Twilight said. "Thanks. See you around!" Gohan said, rushing out Twilight's door. As soon as he left, he was greeted by a crowd of news reporters. "Oh no!" Gohan yelled. "Excuse me, Mr. Gohan!" "MR. GOHAN!" "WHY DID YOU REFUSE A REWARD FROM PRINCESS CELESTIA HERSELF?" "ARE YOU A MINOR?" "WHAT ARE YOU!?" "HOW DID YOU DEFEAT DISCORD?" "WERE YOU THE ONE WHO DEFEATED THE URSA MAJOR?" The ponies shouted. They were even taking pictures of Gohan, which made it worse. Gohan instantly flew up to the skies, avoiding the ponies. "GET BACK HERE! YOUR INTERVIEW ISN'T OVER!" The ponies shouted. Some of the pegasi flew up after Gohan. "Please leave me alone!" Gohan shouted. "ANSWER OUR QUESTIONS!" They yelled. Gohan sighed and used his tremendous speed to seemingly teleport away. "What!?" The ponies shouted. *** Gohan flew into Canterlot, and towards Celestia's palace. "Princess!" Gohan yelled. "Halt! State your business." The solar guard yelled, blocking the entrance. "I need the princess to help me!" Gohan said. "Oh, y-you're the one who stopped Discord, did you not?" The guard asked. "Oh no.... Yes I did, now I need to see the Princess!" Gohan said. "You've caused quite a fuss here. What rights do you have to see the princess?" The guard asked. "W-What did I do!?" Gohan asked. "There's protests all over Canterlot over you. They refuse to live among 'a hairless monkey'." The guard said. It was worse than Gohan thought. "Who is at the door?" Celestia called. "It's me! Gohan!" Gohan yelled. "Please, enter." Celestia said. The solar guard moved out of the way. Gohan rushed into the palace, and bowed to Celestia. Celestia was sitting on her throne. "What is it, Son Gohan? And why the suitcase?" Celestia asked. "Please, you have to help me. I lost my home, and for some reason I'm being chased by news reporters!" Gohan said. "I believe you lost your home due to being a minor, correct?" Celestia asked. "Y-Yes. But I really need the news reporters to high tail it!" Gohan said. "That explains your suitcase... I will most likely be unable to shield you from the media. However, many ponies in Canterlot have extreme hatred for you." Celestia said. "I heard... However, I need your help! I don't want to be praised or hated, I just want to be a regular person here!" Gohan said. "I'm afraid I will have to address the issue of race after my visit to Mostcow. I will depart now." Celestia said, trotting away. "B-But what can I do!?" Gohan asked. "I advise you try to live as a child of a family, maybe with some of your friends. They possess the ability to house a child." Celestia said. "I cannot help you with the media, and you will have to attend school." Celestia said. Gohan sighed. "Okay... Safe travels, Princess." He said. Celestia left. Gohan ran out of the palace. *** Sweet Apple Acres, Apple Orchard "What? You need a place to stay?" Applejack asked. "I'm really sorry to ask, but I'm a minor and was kicked out of my home. Please, I'll do as much farmwork as possible." Gohan said, bowing his head. "I can't deny you're the best worker... The Apple family'll have to discuss over dinner." Applejack said. "Thanks, at least I have a chance..." Gohan said. "Anyhow, I have to finish bucking the apples. Want to help?" Applejack asked. "Sure thing." Gohan said, setting his suitcase down. "I oughta take that inside for you." Applejack said, attempting to hold Gohan's small suitcase. "No wait!" Gohan said. Applejack tried to carry the suitcase with all her might, and got it a few inches off the ground. She dropped it soon after. "What's in there!?" Applejack asked. "Clothes and money." Gohan said. "What, do you have weighted clothes or something?" Applejack asked. "Uh... Yes." Gohan said, removing a single wristband. "Try holding this." He said. Gohan tossed the wristband onto Applejack's hoof. Applejack was capable of holding it, but it was difficult. "W-What's this, 10 kilos?" She asked. "15, actually." Gohan said. Applejack handed the wristband back to Gohan. "That's heavy, how heavy's that shirt there?" Applejack asked. "...One hundred." Gohan said. A silence passed. "WHAT!?" Applejack yelled as loudly as she could. "S-Shh!" Gohan said, trying to calm Applejack down. "H-How!?" Applejack asked. "I asked Rarity for heavier clothes than my dad's." Gohan said. "No, I mean... How are you moving around in that!?" Applejack asked, pointing a hoof at Gohan. "Well, the boots are 150 each. Doing the math, we have 430 kilos." Gohan said. "I-I don't know anypony who can even stand with that... Let alone walk..." Applejack said. "It's nothing, really." Gohan said. "Y-You're really amazing, defeating Discord like that..." Applejack said. "I wish nobody would talk about that... Everyone knows or can know I did it..." Gohan said. "Anyhow, let's clear this orchard." Applejack said. "Oh, I'll get that." Gohan said, slamming the ground with his fist. In an instant, every apple on every tree fell into the buckets. Applejack's mouth was agape. "Oh man, I did it again!" Gohan said. "Gohan, lad. You have a very large chance of coming into the Apple family..." Applejack said. "I shouldn't have- Wait, what?" Gohan asked. "You did this before... Didn't you?" Applejack asked. "I-I passed it off as you taking a while inside..." Gohan said. "I'm getting to know you better and better, Gohan." Applejack said. "Alright... C-Can I leave my suitcase somewhere?" Gohan asked. "I-I'll take you inside..." Applejack said, trotting inside. Gohan's Nightmare (Dinner with the Apples)It was Dinner Time. Applejack knew of Gohan's... Special appetite. So she got extra food for Gohan. A LOT of extra food. Gohan sat in his seat, patiently waiting for dinner to arrive. Applebloom sat next to Gohan, Granny Smith was at the end, and Big Mac sat across from him. "So, I've heard you cleared the orchard with a slam..." Granny Smith said. "Um... Y-Yes, I have done that." Gohan said. "Do ya have a cutie mark in karate?" Applebloom asked. "A what in karate?" Gohan asked. "A cutie mark! You know, that mark that appears on your flank when you find your special talent?" Applebloom asked. "Uh... I don't think I'm able to receive a cutie mark. And I don't do karate." Gohan said. "But why are you wearing the gi?" Applebloom asked. "It's made to look like my father's. I am a martial artist..." Gohan said. "You're only 12?" Granny Smith asked. "I think so." Gohan said. "That's mighty impressive. What's with the weird looking blue shirt and wristbands?" Applebloom asked. "It's... Weighted clothes." Gohan said. "How heavy?" Big Mac asked. "Please don't be as surprised as Applejack was, but it's 430 kilos." Gohan said. The other ponies were wide eyed. "WOW! You must be the strongest around! Maybe stronger than Big Mac!" Applebloom exclaimed. "Eeyup." Big Mac said. "I-I don't want to brag... Don't tell anyone else." Gohan said. "How can ya move in that?" Granny Smith asked. "Can I hold one of your clothes?" Applebloom asked. "Uh... You can try my wristband... It's 15 kilos." Gohan said, handing Applebloom his wristband. "T-This is tough!" Applebloom said. Gohan took the wristband back. "It's difficult for many." He said. "You defeated that oaf, Discord with that!?" Applebloom asked. "Again... Please don't make much of a fuss about it. I mean, I am ending up in your class." Gohan said. "I-I'll try and keep it a secret, but I have to tell the other crusaders!" Applebloom said. "Can they keep secrets?" Gohan asked with a smile. "They sure can!" Applebloom chimed. "You two are getting along already!" Granny Smith said. "I guess I have a friend for school." Gohan said. "Maybe he can help us get a cutie mark in martial arts!" Applebloom said. Gohan chuckled nervously. "I-I don't know about that, heh." He said. "Now, we got some fine food here for Gohan." Applejack said, pulling a tray across the floor. It carries five regular sized plates full of vegetables and apples. There was also one huge bowl of rice. Gohan came to Applejack's aid, carrying a plate to each pony. "Aw, isn't that like a gentlecolt." Granny Smith said. "Thank you." Big Mac said. "Thanks!" Applebloom said. "Thanks for helping out, Gohan." Applejack said. Gohan finally put his giant bowl of rice on the table. "None of us like rice, so we gave it to you." Applejack said. "Oh good, I thought we were gonna share." Applebloom said. "But wait, Gohan... Does the filly eat this much?" Granny Smith asked. "He beat Pinkie in an eating contest, so we should probably get ready for 23rds." Applejack said. The others stared at Gohan "O-Oh, don't worry, I'll fast for tonight, I'll do more work for things like that." Gohan said. "Oh. Thanks, Gohan." Applejack said. "Alright everypony, dig in!" Granny Smith said. With that, Gohan was already sounding like a drill. The Apples ate slowly, staring at Gohan's appetite. Gohan didn't realize it, and within 20 seconds, he was a fourth of the way done with his bowl. "G-Gohan?" Applebloom asked. Gohan stopped. With past experience, he swallowed before answering. "Yes?" Gohan asked. "H-How do you like rice so much?" Applebloom asked. "Maybe because that's what my name means in Japanese." Gohan said. With that comment, the Apples burst into laughter. "How, how does Gohan mean rice!? Hahah!" Applejack asked. "It's Japanese." Gohan said with a smile, resuming his meal. "Are all of you able to eat this much?" Applebloom asked. Gohan stopped. "Yes and no. All Saiyans have a huge stomach, but all humans seem to eat as much as you do." He said. "Wow... An alien hybrid. That's so cool." Applebloom said. Gohan laughed and resumed his meal. "I wonder if the boy eats his veggies..." Granny Smith said. "Let's see." Applejack said, leaving the table. She was halfway done with her food. She returned with 3 bowls of vegetables. Broccoli, spinach and corn. "Nopony here loves to eat these except for the corn, but they're good for us." Applejack said, setting the three bowls beside Gohan's big bowl of rice. Gohan was finished with his bowl and already started loving the broccoli. "D-Do you like those vegetables?" Applebloom asked. Gohan finished the broccoli. "They're the best!" He said. "W-Wow, a filly who loves his veggies..." Granny Smith said. "I was surprised at him the first time I saw this." Applejack said. Gohan finished his entire meal before anyone else. "Boy, that was good!" Gohan said. "Y-You finished before us..." Big Mac said. "Thanks so much you guys." Gohan said. The rest finished up their dishes. Gohan took the plates into the kitchen, and actually cleaned them himself. "W-Whoa, you didn't need to..." Applejack said. "It's the least I could do." Gohan said. *** Before Bedtime "So... We have been deciding whether we should keep you here." Applejack said. They were all in the living room, where a few couches existed. "So... Are you guys alright with it?" Gohan asked. "Well, are you able to do your own laundry?" Applejack asked. "Sure, I can. I have been doing that." Gohan said. "Without any doubt, we will house you, Gohan." Applejack said. Gohan instantly smiled widely. The Apple Family gestured for a group hug. Gohan tackle hugged the Apple family. "Well, Gohan. You have a busy day at school with little Bloom here." Granny Smith said. "You two have fun, hehe." Applejack said, nudging Gohan. Gohan gave a half death stare half gleeful face at Applejack. "What?" She asked, breaking the hug. Gohan laughed. "If I were a pony, probably." He said. "What do you mean?" Applebloom asked, oblivious to what Applejack meant. "It's nothing." Applejack said. "Anyhow, I'll take you to your room, Gohan." She added. Gohan was placed in the same bedroom as Applebloom. They didn't really have many rooms to offer, but Gohan never minded. *** It was time for bed, Gohan washed himself and brushed his teeth with his toothbrush. He got in his small bed on the other side of the room, while Applebloom was on the other side. "Well, see you tomorrow for school." Gohan said. Applebloom was already fast asleep. Gohan slowly drifted off, but he always had aching thoughts. Some were about his past, some were about him having to live here now, and some about avoiding the media. Gohan's Nightmare (School Pt. 1)Gohan was already up at the crack of dawn. Applejack and Big Mac were going out to the fields. Gohan followed. "Good morning." He said. This startled the siblings. "Oh, hey Gohan. You're up early." Applejack said. "I'm going to train here for a little bit, do you mind if I do that?" Gohan asked, referring to the small, flat space. "Sure thing, and if you want, you can help out in the field." Applejack said. "I'll be sure to do that." Gohan said, smiling. Gohan began his usual routine again. 10,000 Push-ups and sit-ups. Tons of punches and kicks. It took him about a half hour, but he finished. Gohan already began picking crops for Applejack and Big Mac. They were taking a small break, sitting while they watched Gohan's endless show. Gohan picked each ear of corn with speed and precision. In moments, Gohan finished picking all of the corn. "That's about enough for the morning..." Applejack said. "You sure?" Gohan asked. "Eeyup. Let's get inside for breakfast." Big Mac said. *** It was already time for Gohan and Applebloom to head out for school. Gohan tried to avoid as many ponies as possible heading there, he could be the center of attention. The classroom was full of fillies, and Cheerilee was scheduling her classes today. As they entered the Ponyville Schoolhouse classroom, two other fillies ran up to Applebloom and Gohan. It was Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle. "Hey gals!" Applebloom said. "Hey Applebloom! Who's this?" Sweetie Belle asked. "Yeah, why's he here?" Scootaloo asked. Gohan bowed his head. "I am Son Gohan, but you can just call me Gohan. Good to meet you." He said, holding out a hand. Scootaloo took the tall person's hand and shook it. "He's big." Scootaloo said. The fillies were half the size of Gohan. Cheerilee approached Gohan. "Hello, you must be... Gohan." Cheerilee said. "Yes, C- I mean, Miss Cheerilee." Gohan said, bowing his head. "Jeez, he bows his head often. Must be a karate thing." Scootaloo said. "I don't do karate, silly." Gohan said. "Well, class starts soon. You will greet everyone." Cheerilee said, trotting away to her desk. "What'd you bring for show and tell, Applebloom?" Sweetie Belle asked. "I brought a science thing about apples." Applebloom said. "W-What's show and tell?" Gohan asks. "We do it once a week, and it's a lot of fun. We show something very interesting, and the pony who wins receives no homework for the rest of the week." Scootaloo said. "That... Sounds pretty bad." Gohan said. "W-Wha?" Scootaloo asked. "Wouldn't homework be a good thing?" Gohan asked. "... Nopony here likes homework." Applebloom said. "O-Oh, sorry. I tend to like it..." Gohan said. "What? But if you're an egghead, why sport the karate uniform?" Scootaloo asked. "Well, I'm also a martial artist." Gohan said. "Yeah, he's no joke. Says he wears 430 kilos worth of clothes." Applebloom said. "That can't be real." Scootaloo said. "I think that's why my sister was so tired making them..." Sweetie Belle said. "Oh, so Rarity's your sister." Gohan said. "Yeah." Sweetie Belle said. "Tell me how you wear those! You move around like it's nothing!" Scootaloo said. Gohan removed his wristbands. "Try this." He said, handing the wristbands to Scootaloo. "W-What is this?" Scootaloo asked, struggling to keep hold of the wristbands. "They're 15 kilos each." Gohan said. "That can be so awesome for show and tell!" Scootaloo said, handing the wristbands back to Gohan. "I don't know about that..." Gohan said, putting his wristbands back on. "Wow, you must be super strong! I guess your speed won't be so great." Scootaloo said. "I guess, heheh." Gohan said. Two fillies, Snips and Snails wanted to prank Gohan. They snuck up behind him, and were about to jump up and say boo. Gohan knew they were behind him, and that they crept up slowly. He decided to pull a nice prank himself. Before Snips and Snails jumped, Gohan moved behind them in an instant. "Hey guys." He said. This startled Snips and Snails, and they screamed. "Gotcha." Gohan said, chuckling. "H-How'd you know we were..." Snips asked. Gohan had realized how he just slipped up. "J-Just a hunch." He lied. "B-But you moved so fast! You must've teleported!" Snails said. "I don't have magic." Gohan said. "I-I... What?" Snails asked. They kind of backed away from Gohan. Gohan turned back to the Cutie Mark Crusaders. "I'm sorry, where were we?" He asked. "H-How did you..." Scootaloo asked. Gohan realized how he slipped up, AGAIN. "Cough it up, Gohan. You have super speed." Applebloom said. "You caught me, heh. Just don't tell anyone?" Gohan asked. "Yeah, you're not as fast as Rainbow Dash. Not a big deal." Scootaloo said. "Y-Yeah." Gohan said. "So what are you going to show for show and tell?" Sweetie Belle asked. Gohan sighed. "I don't know, maybe my weighted clothing." He said. "How can you even move in that?" Scootaloo asked. "It strains me constantly." Gohan lied. "Oh. So you're in a ton of pain moving around in that?" Applebloom asked. "You were running all around the corn, and taking each ear off fast. How'd you do that?" She added. "I guess I'm just excited for school." Gohan lied. "Who's this? A hairless monkey?" Another filly asked. Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon just arrived to school. Gohan turned around. "Hello. My name is Son Gohan, but you can just call me Gohan. Who are you?" He asked, holding his hand out. "What? Why are you here? As show and tell?" Diamond Tiara asked before giggling with Silver Spoon. Gohan retracted his hand, knowing they are mean. "No. I came to learn. Also because I have to." He said. "Why did they even let an ape in here anyway? He knows karate!" Diamond Tiara said. "For the last time it's not- Whatever, can you leave us alone?" Gohan asked. "Yeah, he's new. Don't do that to him." Applebloom said. "Yeah, we might add him to the Cutie Mark Crusaders." Scootaloo said. "Yeah." Sweetie Belle said. Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon laughed at this. "D-Did they say something funny?" Gohan asked. "Earning your cutie mark is, sooo last week." Silver Spoon said, showing her cutie mark off along with Diamond Tiara. "That's good for you. I can't get a cutie mark but I am good at something." Gohan said. "What's that? Karate?" Diamond Tiara asked. "Close enough, its martial arts! And also trying to be a scholar." Gohan said. "What, you want to be a nerd when you grow up?" Silver Spoon asked. "Kinda, yeah." Gohan said. "I'm really confused at this, let's go." Diamond Tiara said, trotting away with Silver Spoon. "Are they usually that mean?" Gohan asked. "Yeah, they're always like that. Really lame." Scootaloo said. "I guess it's a part of school life..." Gohan said. "Students!" Cheerilee called. "We're about to start class, please take your seats." She said. Thankfully, the seats and desks were large enough for Gohan to study. Gohan sat beside Applebloom, while Scootaloo was behind Gohan's towering figure, and Sweetie Belle was behind Applebloom. "Uh, Gohan, can you move?" Scootaloo asked. Gohan realized his height problem, and immediately moved to the back of the room. Scootaloo was about to stop him, but it was for the best. Diamond Tiara would complain about it too. "Good morning, class." Cheerilee said. "Good morning Miss Cheerilee." The class, including Gohan said. "We have a new student here today. His name is Son Gohan. Gohan, can you come up here to greet the class?" Cheerilee asked. Gohan got up from his seat, and walked to the chalkboard. He faced the class, body posture perfect. "Hello. I'm Son Gohan, but you can just call me Gohan. Good to meet you!" Gohan said, bowing his head. Some of the fillies had seen Gohan in public before. "Now, Gohan, you can pick three questions from the audience." Cheerilee said. Many hooves shot up. "Uh... Alright, you." Gohan said, pointing at Pipsqueak. "Are you a master of karate?" Pipsqueak asked. "N-Not quite, but I am a martial artist." Gohan said. "Two more questions." Cheerilee said. The hooves shot up once more. "Alright... You." Gohan said, pointing at Featherweight. "Are you a monkey?" He asked. "I used to have a tail, so kinda." Gohan said. "I have an addendum to that question. How did you lose it?" Featherweight asked. "I'm not so sure myself. Sorry." Gohan said. "One more question." Cheerilee said. Hooves shot up once more. "Alright... You." Gohan said, pointing at Twist. "Aren't you the one who defeated Discord?" She asked. "U-Uh... N-No. I'm not." Gohan lied. "But you're Son Gohan?" Twist asked. "I-I think that was my dad." Gohan lied. Twist ended her questioning there. Cheerilee knew Gohan was lying. So did Applebloom. "You may sit down." Cheerilee said. Gohan did just that. "Alright, first class is mathematics. Please take out your textbooks, notebooks and homework. Gohan, I will hand you new textbooks and notebooks." Cheerilee said. The fillies all took out their homeworks, then their textbooks and notebooks. Cheerilee handed Gohan a few notebooks and textbooks. It was Mathematics, History, and Reading. "Thank you." Gohan said. Cheerilee walked up to the board and wrote down all of the problems that the students had the previous day. "Alright, class. Raise your hoofs if you know the answer to the questions." Cheerilee asked. A few fillies raised their hoofs, and Gohan raised his hand. "G-Gohan? You haven't done the homework." Cheerilee said. "I know the answers." Gohan said. Gohan's Nightmare (School Pt. 2 and Running)"E-Excuse me?" Cheerilee asked. "C-Can I come up to the board?" Gohan asked. "Y-You may...?" Cheerilee asked, dumbfounded. The rest of the class was just as surprised. They didn't know, but Gohan was at a 12th grade level. They were doing 4th grade math, it was a joke for Gohan. Gohan took the chalk, and wrote the answer down for every single answer. "1. 6, 2. 24, 3. 5, 4. 15, 5. 27" he wrote. One of the questions happened to be the bat and ball problem. Gohan answered "The ball is 5 bits, and the bat is 105 bits." Cheerilee was shocked to see a this random student doing the homework in an instant. "Done." He said, putting the chalk down. "I-It appears you answered every single one correctly..." Cheerilee asked. Gohan smiled. "Now hold on!" Applebloom asked. "Yes, Applebloom?" Cheerilee asked. "He got number 6 wrong!" Applebloom said. Cheerilee giggled. "I expected you to say that. Who else thinks Gohan is wrong?" She asked. Every single filly in the room raised their hoof. "You're all wrong." Cheerilee said with a smile. "What!?" The entire class asked. "Gohan, care to explain?" Cheerilee asked. (Warning: Nerdy crap coming your way) "Sure. I know you all got: 'The ball was 10 bits. The bat is 100 bits.' But that's wrong. The bat is 100 bits more than the ball. If the ball were 10 bits, then the bat would be 110 bits. That's 120 bits, not 110. See, that's why the ball is 5 bits. The bat would be 105 bits, adding the ball would be 110." Gohan said. Cheerilee was pleasantly surprised by Gohan. The class was very surprised by Gohan's explanation. "S-Should I go sit down?" Gohan asked. "Y-Yes, you may..." Cheerilee said. Gohan sat down. "You see why Gohan was correct, class?" Cheerilee asked. "Yes, Miss Cheerilee." The class said. "Alright, any questions with the homework?" Cheerilee asked. No one answered. "Okay, class. Hand in your homeworks now. Except you, Gohan." Cheerilee said. After the handing in of homework, the class finally began. "Class, open your textbooks to page 42. We will sharpen our knowledge of PEMDAS today." Cheerilee said. The class, including Gohan opened their textbooks to page 42, and opened their notebooks. Cheerilee wrote a pretty long problem on the board. Gohan did the problem in his notebook in an instant. "Class, can somepony come up to the board and do this problem?" Cheerilee asked. A few hoofs, and a hand shot up. "Alright... Sweetie Belle, come up and do this problem." Cheerilee said. Sweetie Belle used her magic to use the chalk. The question was: "67 - 6 x 11 + 7" She answered: "678" "Although I commend your mental math, you are wrong." Cheerilee said. "What?" The class, except Gohan asked. "Does anyone else want a turn?" Cheerilee asked. Gohan was quick to raise his hand. "G-Gohan." Cheerilee said. Gohan came up to the board and answered: "8". "Correct." Cheerilee said. "Thank you." Gohan said. "How?" Some fillies asked. "Gohan used PEMDAS correctly, following the rules. Multiplication before adding or subtracting." Cheerilee said. Gohan went to sit down. "Okay class, I want you to do numbers 2 through 10. Show all work. If you have gone ahead, you won't receive credit. And, begin!" Cheerilee said. All of the fillies and Gohan began to do the problems. Gohan was so fast, he finished in 10 seconds. He even showed the work. He raised his hand. "Did you go ahead, Gohan?" Cheerilee asked. "No. I was at the board." Gohan said. "Hm..." Cheerilee said as she trotted to Gohan. She looked at his notes. Not only were they neat, they were all right and all of the work was shown. Cheerilee was surprised. Her face said that. "I-I... This is... Perfect!" Cheerilee said. "T-Thank you, Miss Cheerilee." Gohan said. "I-I have never seen this... Y-You did everything! A plus!" Cheerilee exclaimed. Gohan was a little surprised. "Nice job, Gohan." Cheerilee said. Gohan smiled. *** Two class periods passed. Gohan was excellent in Reading. It was time for show and tell. Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon both talked about the stock market, many fillies showed their toys, Applebloom showed the science of an apple, and Scootaloo showed something on wings. "Okay... Gohan, would you happen to have something for show and tell?" Cheerilee asked. Gohan sighed. "No." he said. "Come on, Gohan! Show them your moves!" Applebloom said. "Moves? What do you mean, Applebloom?" Cheerilee asked. 'No, no no!' Gohan thought. "He's wearing the heaviest clothes!" Applebloom said. "What?" Cheerilee asked. "Show them, Gohan!" Scootaloo said. "Yeah!" Sweetie Belle said. "H-Hang on! It's not a big deal!" Gohan said. "I believe the class wants to see it now." Cheerilee said. "Yeah!" The class said. "Sorry, but I don't feel like showing off." Gohan said. "I think Gohan doesn't want to do show and tell." Cheerilee said. "Y-Yes, please." Gohan said. "Awww!" The class said. "We will ask Gohan another time. It's dismissal, today was a half day. Everypony pack up!" Cheerilee said. All of the fillies and Gohan got up from their seats, and got ready to go home. Gohan really carried his books in one arm, while the others had a bag. *** Everyone was outside, school ended. All of the fillies cornered Gohan. "Show us your weighted clothing!" The fillies yelled. "Please, let me go home." Gohan said. "Hey! There he is!" A pony shouted. She was holding a camera, and a notepad. "Oh no..." Gohan said. She ran at Gohan. "Mr. Gohan, how did-" Gohan flew away. This left all of the fillies and two adults dumbfounded. A crowd of news reporter pegasi were flying behind Gohan. "Mr. Gohan!" One yelled. "Thanks, Krillin." Gohan muttered. He turned around, placing his hands close to the center of his face with his fingers spread toward his eyes. "SOLAR FLARE!" He yelled, flashing a blinding light at the pegasi, fillies and everypony facing him. Gohan quickly flew away, aiming for Twilight's Treehouse. *** A loud knock on Twilight's door caused Spike to nearly fall off his ladder. He opened the door to see Gohan rushing in. "Gohan? Why-" "Close the door!" Gohan interrupted. Spike did that. "Why are you here?" He asked. "My worst fear has come true, I'm becoming the center of attention!" Gohan said. "I guess that's why you were being demonized by some newspapers." Spike said, handing Gohan an issue for today. Gohan read the headline: 'Alien Refuses Interview, Suspected of World Dominaton' Gohan's face quickly turned pale. "It says: 'Defeating Discord has given us the lead that he's capable of world domination. Him and his somehow late father have made an appearance, trying to hide the fact he did this. We believe that the princesses must be informed at once. Many ponies have already protested in Canterlot, Manehattan and Hoofington. Many have defended this monster, and now violence has broke out in these cities.' I-I'm causing violence!" Gohan said. "Oh man, Twilight!" Spike yelled. Twilight came trotting down the stairs. "What is it Spike? Oh Gohan, why are you here?" She asked. Gohan showed Twilight the newspaper. "And my worst fear just came true." He said. "Oh yeah, I read that. I've sent a letter to Princess Celestia, and she wrote back voicing her support for you." Twilight said. "That, and now everyone knows about me! I had to blind them to avoid everyone!" Gohan said. "Was that the blinding flash of light?" Twilight asked. "Yeah, a friend taught me it. The princess already told me she can't do anything about the media wanting an interview, and now people are telling everyone about me!" Gohan said. "I-I will try to summon the princess for this, I can see how you're stressing out over this." Twilight said. Spike grabbed a quill and a scroll. "I'm ready." He said. "Dear Princess Celestia, Gohan is stressing out over all of the fame and conflicts he caused. He cannot remain this way, as he has resorted to blindness to avoid other ponies. As you know already, many ponies despise him, and are making rash judgements about him. We request that you come to Ponyville and make changes, as he cannot fare well as of now. Your faithful student, Twilight Sparkle" Twilight said. "Okay." Spike said, blowing a fire that sent the message away. "She said she couldn't do anything when I came..." Gohan said. "Don't worry, the princess will think of something." Twilight said. *** Celestia read Twilight's letter. She wrote a letter back. "Dear Twilight Sparkle, Princess Luna and I will arrive at Ponyville tonight to deliver a message. We will have a plan for Gohan, and I assure you he will most likely enjoy it. Currently, I have changed the minds of everypony in Canterlot, and must travel across Equestria to do the same for everypony. Sincerely, Luna says Hi, Love Ya, Best of wishes, and everything, Princess Celestia" She wrote. "Are you sure Gohan will like this change?" Celestia asked. "I'm definitely sure Gohan will love this." Goku said, from Other World. "Alright, then." Celestia said with a smile. Celestia used her magic to send the message. *** "A plan? She has a plan for me?" Gohan asked. "Yes, she says you will like it... The other good thing is, she's fixing the problem about ponies hating you." Twilight said. Gohan sighed in relief. "That's a relief." He said. "You might as well stay here until then. But feeding you is going to be a problem." Twilight said. "I fasted yesterday, but this morning I ate all the crops I picked. I'll just wait for food tonight." Gohan said. "Alright then, make yourself at home for a while." Twilight said. A Turn for a Nightmare (The Plan and a Reunion)Soon, riots broke out all over Ponyville. They were all about Gohan, and if he should stay. There were many signs, many saying: 'Don't want to be a slave? Kill Gohan' Some were saying: 'I refuse to live with a monkey' Some were saying: 'Don't hate the savior of Equestria' And many, many more. Ponies actually began to hit each other. Gohan looked in horror out of Twilight's window. He quickly turned to Twilight. "I can't believe that I'm causing so much violence..." He said. "I wouldn't worry too much, the princess will handle this." Twilight said. "I hope so..." Gohan said. *** Ponyville, 7:30 PM Many ponies were fighting over Gohan. "He's a good guy, he saved us from Nightmare Moon and Discord! He's saved your flanks!" Rainbow Dash yelled. "He's a monster, he can destroy us all!" Another pony yelled. "He's a weird tailless monkey!" A pony yelled. "He ain't gonna hurt anypony!" Applejack yelled. Celestia and Luna arrived in a carriage pulled by two solar guard pegasi. "Princess Celestia and Princess Luna! Help us find the alien!" A pony yelled. "Everypony, halt!" Celestia called. All the voices and ponies stopped. Four ponies who were actually hitting each other stopped fighting. All of the ponies stared at Celestia and Luna. Gohan, Twilight and Spike stepped out of the Treehouse. "There he is!" A pony shouted, jumping at Gohan. Gohan moved out of the way, and many more ponies followed. "HALT!" Luna yelled. This got everyone to REALLY stop. "We have come to address the issue of the valiant Son Gohan." Luna called. "Yes, and we understand some of you do not want to treat Gohan as an equal. He is alien." Celestia called. "He can destroy us all!" A pony yelled. "However! He poses no threat, and has saved Equestria on multiple occasions. He has shown us that he cares for this land, and will break his own limits to keep it intact." Princess Luna called. "I don't want a big karate monkey to be in the same class as my son!" A pony yelled. "I understand. I also understand that Son Gohan does not desire to be in grade school, as he is a great deal smarter than his age leads everypony to believe. That is why Son Gohan will not attend school at the Ponyville Schoolhouse any longer. He has the credentials to attend college, which not everyone has to attend." Celestia called. "He's going to destroy us all!" A pony yelled. "Like we said, Son Gohan poses no threat. You all should be welcoming of Son Gohan, as are we. In fact, we have a crystal ball. This will prove if Gohan will tell the truth." Celestia said, using her magic to reveal a crystal ball. "Son Gohan, you are to come up here!" Luna called. Gohan flew up to the princesses, and bowed. "Put your hand on this ball." Celestia commanded. Gohan did just that. "If the ball turns red, then Son Gohan cannot be trusted. If it turns green, he is trusted." Luna said. "Say you would never go for world domination." Celestia said. "I will never try to go for world domination." Gohan said. The ball was green. "Would you like to protect Equestria?" Luna asked. "I would protect Equestria, even if it kills me." Gohan said. The ball was green. "This does it." Luna said. All of the ponies in the audience respected Gohan from that point. "Everypony, listen up! I, Princess Celestia," Celestia called. "And I, Princess Luna," Luna called. "Both decree, that Son Gohan becomes the sole protector of Equestria." Celestia and Luna called. Everypony suddenly cheered for Gohan. "This means that Son Gohan's new job is for him to protect Equestria in times of need." Celestia called. Gohan was shocked, yet happy. He had a new job, and he didn't have to go to school anymore! "And, we have a great visitor for Son Gohan." Celestia called. "And he's finally here!" A familiar voice yelled. Goku, who had gone to Fortuneteller Baba, was able to come to Equestria, despite being dead. He only had 24 hours. He landed in front of a shocked Gohan. "Hey again, Gohan!" Goku said. "This, is the father of Son Gohan." Luna called. 'Again?' Twilight thought. "Hi!" Goku said to the crowd. Pinkie Pie ran up to Goku. "WE NEED TO THROW A PARTY FOR THESE TWO!" She yelled. "And in 3, 2, 1..." Gohan muttered. All of a sudden, everypony was at Sugarcube Corner, there was a huge party in honor of Gohan and Goku. Goku smiled. "So, how'd we get here?" He asked Gohan. Gohan hugged Goku. "I'm going to say magic." Gohan said. "I'm really proud of you, Gohan. I want to stay here with you, but I only have 24 hours here." Goku said. "HEY GOHAN! YOU AND YOUR DAD, EATING CONTEST. NOW!" Pinkie Pie yelled. Goku and Gohan looked to see a banquet, and it was all for Goku and Gohan. "Alright! I'm famished!" Goku said. "It's me versus you, Dad!" Gohan said. They both grinned at each other before diving in at the food. *** Gohan was finally full, and Goku was still going at it. "W-Well, darling. This is definitely your father..." Rarity said. "You said it!" Pinkie Pie said. "Who cooked all this food?" Gohan asked. "Yeah! My compliments to the chefs!" Goku yelled, eating again. "Some is from Pinkie Pie, and the rest is from chefs from Canterlot." Celestia said. Pinkie Pie hopped around Goku and Gohan. "We still haven't started the games! OOH! And we haven't started the contests, and the cake! AAAAND, we also have to-" "H-Hold on, Pinkie." Gohan interrupted. "Yeah, I'm not done eating yet!" Goku said. *** After plenty of games, piñata hitting, and for some reason, a second feast for Goku and Gohan, the party ended. "Hey, I got an idea!" Rainbow Dash said, walking out of Sugarcube Corner with the Mane 6, Goku and Gohan. "What is it?" Goku asked. "Why don't you two have a fight?" Rainbow Dash asked. "U-Us?" Gohan asked Goku chuckled. "You mean like old times, Gohan?" He asked. "I mean, I have been training..." Gohan said. "Yeah, why don't we see Gohan's match? His dad?" Pinkie Pie asked. "I believe we have an arena for such things." Luna said. "Maybe tomorrow, it is very late." Celestia said. "Where do you guys live?" Goku asked. "We live over there, in Canterlot." Celestia said, pointing a hoof at Canterlot. Goku put two fingers to his head. He was sensing where Canterlot would be. Especially Celestia's palace. "I got a read on where you two live." Goku said. "W-What?" Twilight asked. "Everyone grab on to me." Goku said. Gohan and Spike put their hand on Goku, the princesses, the Mane 6 and the very tired solar guard put their hoof on Goku. In an instant, they were in the palace. All of the ponies were surprised. "W-What is this?" Luna asked. "It's my Instant Transmission. Learned it on Planet Yardrat." Goku said, smiling. "T-This is..." Fluttershy mumbled. "Awesome!" Rainbow Dash finished. Goku chuckled. "Do you really want to fight again, son?" He asked. "Well, I guess. I want to see if you've trained as well." Gohan said. "That settles it. Tomorrow morning, we will put you two in the arena. This can be a learning experience for you, Twilight Sparkle." Celestia joked. "You will sleep in those rooms." Luna said, pointing a hoof at 3 rooms with tons of beds. 'I can actually see Gohan's limits against his dad, probably.' Twilight thought. "I'm surprised you could do that, Son Goku." Celestia said. "I have experience. Heh." Goku said. "Well, surely you two can give us a show tomorrow." Applejack said. "We'll just have to see." Twilight said. Goku Vs. GohanThe time had come. Goku and Gohan were in the arena. The arena was barren, and the floor was made of flat stone. There was an invisible magical force field for a ceiling, as to prevent any running away. The bystanders who watched consisted of many ponies. The princesses, the Mane 6, Spike, many random ponies, and even Blueblood was there. The princesses had two very comfortable chairs to sit in, while the Mane 6 and Blueblood sat beside them. All the other ponies had a giant bench to sit on. "I honestly don't see how two overgrown monkeys can give us a show." Blueblood said. "I believe it will be a very action packed battle." Rarity said. "I bet Gohan's gonna win!" Spike said. "Nah, Goku's gonna beat him!" Rainbow Dash said. "What do you think, Fluttershy?" Twilight asked, notepad and pencil in magic. "Oh, I don't know... I'll root for the two of them..." Fluttershy said. "If that fellow is that boy's father, then I can only imagine how much stronger he is than Gohan." Applejack said. Blueblood scoffed. "I still can't believe you made a child protector of Equestria, Auntie." He said. "He has saved us from chaos, nephew." Celestia said. "We shall start the match now." Luna said. *** Goku and Gohan stared each other down. A smile on both of their faces. "No holding back, Gohan!" Goku said. "Same to you, Dad!" Gohan said. "Everypony, the match begins now!" Celestia called. Horns erupted, and the two Saiyans clashed instantly. Goku and Gohan charged at each other at light speed. Not even Rainbow Dash could see the movement. They threw a punch at each other, and the resulting parry produced a shockwave/wind that hindered the sight of the bystanders. Twilight wrote the event down. "I-It just started, and now they created wind!" Twilight said. Immediately, Goku and Gohan started throwing rapid punches and kicks at each other. As they clashed all over the arena, they kept yelling: "ATATATATATATATA!" Occasionally they hit one another. Not even 15 seconds into the match, and all of the ponies were flabbergasted. "H-How aren't they tired yet!?" Twilight asked, writing down notes. "How are they moving so fast?" Rainbow Dash asked. Fluttershy cowered and hid behind her chair as the shockwaves appeared. "It's so barbaric!" Blueblood shouted. "It's AWESOME!" Rainbow Dash said. 'I-Insane!' Twilight thought. Goku finally landed a heavy punch on Gohan, which launched him away at last. Gohan recovered, and spun around to land on the wall with his feet, and jump back at Goku. Goku expected a punch, but Gohan actually flew behind him, and kicked him in the back. Goku was launched, but turned around and shot a powerful ki blast at Gohan. Gohan deflected it and flew at Goku. "This is very action packed, wouldn't you say, sister?" Celestia asked. "Indeed." Luna said. "They're fast!" Pinkie Pie said. "Not faster than me!" Rainbow Dash said. "I don't know, sugarcube." Applejack said with a smirk. "What does that mean, AJ?" Rainbow Dash asked. "It means that they're probably faster than you." Applejack said. "No they're not. I'll race Gohan after this, just you wait." Rainbow Dash said. 'Uh oh.' Twilight thought. 'But it's really fast!' "Auntie, this is too barbaric! I demand that you relieve them of this fight, and that boy's duties!" Blueblood said. "Nephew, you must be kind. Now hush, this battle is getting interesting." Celestia said. Fluttershy kept hiding behind her hooves and peeking again. Goku and Gohan were throwing punches and kicks again, and Goku knocked Gohan away. "Let's kick it up a notch!" Goku said, turning Super Saiyan. His irises turned blue, his hair spiked up, and turned yellow in an instant. "You said it!" Gohan said, turning Super Saiyan. The transformation shocked the audience. "Oh my, now I remember that monkey! He was at the Gala!" Blueblood shouted. "Yes, the good boy pulled the carriage for us." Rarity said. "I-I still don't know how they do it." Rainbow Dash said. "The battle has increased in action!" Luna exclaimed. The Super Saiyans stared each other down. Then, Gohan seemingly appeared in front of Goku, who blocked Gohan's punch with his forearm. "H-He's fast!" Rainbow Dash said. "Do you still think he's slower than you, Dashie?" Pinkie Pie asked. "U-Uh, yeah!" Rainbow Dash said nervously. 'His speed multiplied! But by how much?' Twilight asked, writing down notes. "So cool!" Spike said. Gohan threw many punches at speeds unimaginable, which Goku all blocked. Goku dodged the next one, and kneed Gohan in the stomach. Gohan was knocked away with another kick before he could recover from the knee. Gohan stopped himself in midair, and Goku was charging at Gohan. Gohan blasted many ki blasts at the incoming Goku. Goku was hit by one, and dodged every other one. Gohan kicked Goku back down to the ground, and Goku jumped back up at Gohan, cracking the ground below him. "Their strengths alone can shatter the ground!" Celestia said. "No wonder he defeated Discord!" Rainbow Dash said. Fluttershy was so scared that she ended up hugging Rainbow Dash without realizing it. "Fluttershy, what are you doing?" Rainbow Dash asked. "I'm too scared!" Fluttershy said. Rainbow Dash sighed. Twilight couldn't help but giggle. Goku and Gohan were throwing barrages of punches and kicks at each other again. "ATATATATATA!" They yelled again. "I could barely keep up before, now it just looks like they're just... Pieces!" Twilight exclaimed. Rainbow Dash's mouth was agape. Fluttershy hugged tighter. "F-Fluttershy! Too... Tight!" Rainbow Dash said, losing air. "Oop, sorry... EEP!" Fluttershy said as she let go, when they clashed in front of her. Eventually, Goku knocked Gohan away again. "Show me your full strength, Gohan!" Goku yelled. "Are you sure?" Gohan asked. "Yes." Goku said. Gohan channeled his rage to ascend to the Super Saiyan 2 form. His hair spiked up, and overall looked different. "I never cease to amaze myself." Goku said. "Why?" Gohan asked. "Because... THIS!" Goku said, turning Super Saiyan 2 himself. Goku's hair spiked up even more. This surprised Gohan. "Y-You did it too?" Gohan asked. "Yep! I did it in heaven. Now, let's go!" Goku said. Goku and Gohan clashed again, and this time, nopony could even see them. "H-How can anypony move so fast!?" Applejack asked. "Well, when you got wings like these, and training like them, it's easy!" Rainbow Dash bragged, showing off her wings. "RD, you will never learn." Applejack said. "Now what's that supposed to mean!?" Rainbow Dash asked. "You know." Applejack said, giggling. "Hey! He is NOT faster than me!" Rainbow Dash retorted. "Don't worry, I think you're still the best..." Fluttershy said. "At least I got one pony on my side." Rainbow Dash said. "Everypony, look!" Twilight said. Goku had been knocked away by Gohan. He put two fingers to his head and teleported behind Gohan. He kicked him away! Gohan recovered and stood on the ground again. "It's time to end this. SUPER KAIOKEN!" Goku yelled, using the Kaioken times 2. His yellow aura turned into a crimson red, and his power doubled. "What?" Gohan asked before he was hit by a punch. It was too fast for even him to see. As Gohan was knocked away, Goku began to charge his Kamehameha. Gohan recovered and also charged his Kamehameha. "KAMEHAMEHA!" They both yelled. The clashing blasts were too much for the force field, and it broke. Celestia used her magic to try and protect the ponies if anything were to happen. "I-I never thought there could be TWO of them!" Twilight exclaimed. Goku quickly overpowered Gohan's own blast. Gohan was holding Goku's Kamehameha back his just his bare hands. It tore at Gohan's arms more and more as time went by. Finally, Gohan couldn't hold it off. The most the blast did was explode, not shoot off into the horizon. But there was tons of smoke. All the ponies looked into the arena. Goku let the Kaioken die out. There was only silence as the smoke died down. The smoke finally died. It revealed Gohan with a very torn gi. Goku managed to knock the Super Saiyan 2 out of Gohan. Gohan was back in his base form, exhausted and defeated. He was panting. Goku powered down to a mere base form. He also walked in front of Gohan. Gohan, not giving up, attempted to punch Goku as a last resort. But, he stopped before he reached Goku's face. Goku's hair flew for a moment from the wind of the punch. But... Gohan collapsed. Goku caught Gohan before he reached the ground. "You fought well, son." He said. All of the ponies except for Blueblood cheered. Goku reached into a small baggie on his belt. He brought senzu beans. Goku put the bean in Gohan's mouth. "You fought well." He said. Gohan was healed completely, and was at full strength again. "Dad?" He asked. "Hey!" Goku said, grinning widely. "Nice job, Dad." Gohan said, grinning himself. He stood on his own feet. "Thanks, you too!" Goku said, eating a senzu bean himself. *** "Well, it appears that Goku has won." Celestia said. They were in the palace again. "I knew it!" Rainbow Dash said. "Y'all put up a show, I must say." Applejack said. "You two were amazing." Celestia said. "It was terrible!" Blueblood shouted. All eyes were on him. "Outrageous! It was so barbaric, how could you praise them for it!? That monkey could kill us all!" He yelled, pointing at Gohan. "Hey, that's my son you're talking to." Goku said, stepping in front of Gohan. "Nephew! Calm yourself!" Celestia yelled. "No, auntie! These mongrels must leave at once!" Blueblood yelled. "Now I don't know what you've seen, but my son has saved you from destruction twice. I think you should be thankful that you're still alive." Goku said. "Blueblood, leave the palace until I tell you to return." Celestia said with a very serious and irritated voice. Blueblood did just that, mumbling to himself. "Anyway, how'd you two do those things!?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Things like what?" Goku and Gohan asked. "You know, the blasts and whatnot!" Rainbow Dash said. "Are you willing to teach her, Gohan?" Goku asked. "To be honest, no. Too dangerous to teach her." Gohan said. "You said it." Goku said. "What!? Why!?" Rainbow Dash asked. "We had to do a plethora of dangerous and life threatening things when we were just toddlers! Not even you could survive so long." Goku bragged. "Oh yeah? I bet I can!" Rainbow Dash retorted. "P-Please, let's not be hasty..." Gohan said with an awkward smile, and got in between of Goku and Rainbow Dash. "Anyway, you two put on a spectacular show. I'm glad we appointed someone of pure heart and amazing strength to be the protector of Equestria." Celestia said. "Oh, that reminds me. Do I still have to live with the Apples?" Gohan asked. "It is entirely up to you." Celestia said. "Sugarcube, as long as you work at the farm from time to time, we don't mind you leaving! Heheh!" Applejack said. "Really? Then can I go back to my shack?" Gohan asked. "Yes, you may." Celestia said. "Alright, Gohan! The tide just turned in your favor, right?" Goku asked. "I-I guess so." Gohan said. "We have to show Goku around Ponyville!" Twilight said. "Okay, my little ponies. I will resume my duties as princess. I'm expecting a letter from you soon, Twilight Sparkle." Celestia said. "Okay, Princess Celestia!" Twilight said. "Everyone grab on!" Goku said, putting two fingers to his head. *** "I need to master teleportation." Twilight said. They were back in Ponyville. "Gohan, you and I must race!" Rainbow Dash demanded. 'Uh oh.' Gohan and Twilight thought. Goku's Visit to Ponyville"Uh... You'd win, I don't want to waste your time." Gohan said. "No, you'd totally beat her!" Pinkie Pie said. "Gohan, you better race me now!" Rainbow Dash said. "Look, I don't want to lose. You understand, right?" Gohan asked. "No! Wait, actually..." Rainbow Dash said. "Besides, I only have about 5 hours left here. He may want to spend the day with his dad." Goku said, putting a hand on Gohan's shoulder. "Wait, didn't you say 24 hours?" Gohan asked. "Well, that fight took away a few hours. Don't worry, we've done and I'm sure we'll still be able to do stuff." Goku said. "Alright... Well, we might as well show you around Ponyville... Which you already know about." Gohan said. "Oh, you knew I watched you, huh." Goku said. "I figured it out on day two." Gohan said. "I knew my son could figure it out! After all, he's the only Saiyan to be a scholar!" Goku joked. Gohan laughed. "Well, we should show you around Ponyville!" Applejack said. "I'll take you to Sweet Apple Acres. Maybe you can do farmwork like him!" She joked. "Okay, I'll get a read on it." Goku said, putting two fingers on his forehead. "Are you gonna teleport us there or something?" Applejack asked. "Alright, got a read on two ponies there. Grab on." Goku said. "Are you guys gonna come with?" He asked. "I guess." Twilight said. "I have to get back to my cottage a-and feed all my little critters..." Fluttershy said. "Please inform me when you must leave... M-Mr. Goku." She said, trotting away. "I'll tag along!" Pinkie Pie said. "I suppose I will come along. But you must change your clothes, Gohan!" Rarity said. Gohan looked down at his ripped shirt, and laughed. "I'll come with, maybe my awesomeness will rub off on Goku too." Rainbow Dash bragged. "Yeah, I guess!" Goku said. "I'll be at the library. Catch you guys later." Spike said, walking away. Everyone touched Goku, and they were instantly at Sweet Apple Acres. Big Mac was bucking apples, and Granny Smith was knitting. "N-Now who is this tall fellow?" Granny Smith asked. "Oh hey! You must be the pe- I mean, ponies taking my son in! I'm Goku, who are you?" Goku asked. "I'm Granny Smith, and- Wait, you're the father of this boy?" Granny Smith asked. "Yep! Thanks for taking care of my son, Granny Smith." Goku said. "That's not a problem, sonny. The lad's a huge help here at the farm." Granny Smith said. "Yeah, but Granny, he's moving back in his old place." Applejack said. "Aw, but he's still coming down to the farm?" Granny Smith asked. "Yep, he'll be a good worker." Applejack said. "Alrighty." Granny Smith said. "So this here's the farm. Can ya do what Gohan does?" Applejack asked. "Oh sure, I can do that." Goku said, slamming his fist against the ground, causing every apple to fall off the tree. This also caused Big Mac to trip. "H-How did you know he did that?" Applejack asked in surprise. "How'd you even do that!?" Twilight asked. "Yeah, how'd you do that AWESOME thing!?" Rainbow Dash asked. "I just hit the ground hard enough to affect the tree's roots enough to shake the apples off the tree. It's normal, really." Goku said so casually. "THAT ISN'T NORMAL!" Twilight yelled. "Alright, calm down." Goku said. "Let me get my things." Gohan said, going inside and immediately coming out with his heavy suitcase, with a change of clothes. "Where to next?" He immediately asked. "OOH! Sugarcube Corner again! We can eat all the sweets we can make!" Pinkie Pie said. "Alright, I'm down! Who's not coming this time?" Goku asked. "Me, I gotta pick the crops with Big Mac." Applejack said. "Alright then, everyone else grab on!" Goku said. Then, they were at Sugarcube Corner. *** "Oh man, I think that's gonna be in there for a while." Goku said. Goku, Gohan and Pinkie Pie had eaten tons of sweets. "Okay, where to next...?" Goku asked. "Try my house. It's in the clouds." Rainbow Dash said. "Okay, so some of you actually have to keep hold of me." Goku said. "See ya!" Pinkie Pie said. *** "It's a big house, and it's a cloud too! It's so awesome!" Rainbow Dash said. "Alright, where to next?" Goku asked. "Let's try my house, the library." Twilight said. "Alright, Gohan, Rainbow Dash! Get back here!" Goku said. "Nah, I'm gonna split. See ya!" Rainbow Dash said. *** "Books aren't really my thing... But it's Gohan's!" Goku said. "Oh, you're back." Spike said. "Alright, I'm going to be busy. See you around!" Twilight said. "Now for my boutique!" Rarity said. *** "These fabrics are one of the finest in Equestria!" Rarity explained. "That's cool." Goku said. "I even made that extraordinarily heavy gi for your son." Rarity said. "Oh yeah, I noticed! It's heavier than mine, which is only 100 kilos!" Goku said. "Really? You two are stronger than I initially thought. Anyhow, I must finish up a dress for a customer. See you later." Rarity said. "Okay, Gohan. I guess it's time for your old shack?" Goku asked. "Y-Yeah." Gohan said. *** "Oh, that's right! I was on Earth and got you something you might enjoy." Goku said, reaching into his pouch of senzu beans, and a capsule. "What is it? Do mom and the others still hate me?" Gohan asked. "Sadly, yes. Anyway, it's a gravity chamber!" Goku said, throwing the capsule to reveal the gravity machine. It was a room, with the Capsule Corp. logo on the side. Upon entry, a gravity machine was there. "Bulma told me it goes up to 1000x Earth's gravity. You could do some serious training here!" Goku said. "Thanks, Dad!" Gohan said. "I'm going to teach you a new technique." Goku said. "What is it?" Gohan asked. "Tenshinhan's Multi-Form technique." Goku said. "Wait, you know how to use that?" Gohan asked. "Of course, I mean, Cell used it against me. I mastered it in heaven." Goku said. "Why are you going to teach me it?" Gohan asked. "Because it can really help your training, Gohan. Now let's put this away." Goku said, walking outside and pressing a button which put the gravity chamber inside the capsule again. "Now, let's get to training!" Goku said. Goku's Final Goodbye"Alright Gohan!" Goku cheered. Gohan had mastered the multi-form technique. Not completely, it still halves his power with each copy. "Yes!" The four Gohans said. "It took a few hours, but you finally did it!" Goku said. "Yeah, and- Oh. That's right." The Gohans said as they formed one being again. "You're leaving soon." Gohan said. "Oh. That's right. Baba will yell at me if I'm not at the Lookout in about an hour!" Goku said. "You have to say goodbye to my friends, Dad!" Gohan said. "I'm already on it. Grab on." Goku said, putting two fingers on his forehead. *** "Fluttershy!" Gohan called. "I-I'm here!" Fluttershy said, frantically running out of the kitchen. "Be at the center of Ponyville." Gohan said, before they teleported away. Fluttershy was left confused, but left her cottage to do just that. *** Applejack was in the fields, planting seeds. Goku and Gohan appeared in front of her. "Applejack, go to the center of Ponyville." Gohan said before they just teleported away again. "What?" She asked, but it was too late. Applejack did as she was told, and started trotting towards Ponyville. *** "Rarity, I need you to be at the center of Ponyville, now." Gohan said before they teleported again. "Excuse me, for wha-" Rarity said before realizing Gohan was gone. She began trotting towards the center of Ponyville. *** "Rainbow Dash, go to the center of Ponyville, now!" Gohan said before teleporting away. "Alright, why-" Rainbow Dash said as she laid on her cloud before realizing Gohan left. She flew towards Ponyville. *** "Pinkie, get out of that trash can, and I need you to be at the center of Ponyville." Gohan said, before teleporting away. "Okey dokey lokey!" Pinkie Pie said, hopping towards Ponyville. *** "Twilight, and Spike if you want to, go to the center of Ponyville, now." Gohan said before teleporting away. "Uh... Okay, Spike, let's go!" Twilight said. Spike groaned. "Fine." *** Already, the Mane 6 and Spike were at the town's center. They were voicing their final goodbyes to Goku. "I have to get back to the afterlife, it was fun meeting you all!" Goku said. "Whenever you come back, just come to us and we'll feed ya!" Applejack joked, and laughed soon after. Everyone else laughed with her. "Ah... Yeah... When will you be back?" Pinkie Pie asked. Goku only looked at Pinkie Pie with his smile. "Hey... Let's not worry about that now." He said. "So y-you'll be back?" Fluttershy asked. "I'll try." Goku said. "Anyway, thanks for taking care of my son for all this time, you guys. I know I say it often, but it means a lot. It was nice to meet you in person, and not through a dead guy." Goku joked. "It's not a problem!" Rainbow Dash said. "He's an absolute angel, just like you!" Rarity said. Goku chuckled at that. "He will never lose our support." Fluttershy said. "We'll be at his side for every twist and turn!" Twilight said. "I'll throw even more parties for him!" Pinkie Pie yelled. "He's practically part of the Apple family! Don't worry, Mr. Goku." Applejack said. "I trust you all. After all, the Elements of Harmony have to wielded by some ponies." Goku said. "Yeah!" Rainbow Dash said. "And you." Goku said, facing Gohan. "Yes, Dad?" Gohan asked. "You better train harder with those. You'll be even stronger than me one day! Well, again." Goku said. "I will! I won't let you down, Dad!" Gohan said. "Alright. I'm going back now. Thanks again!" Goku said. "Dad, wait." Gohan said, facing the ground. Nobody could see his tears. "What's wrong Gohan?" Goku asked. He looked back up at Goku. "I'm really going to miss you." Gohan said. Goku placed a hand on Gohan's shoulder. "You'll meet me in the afterlife, Gohan. Don't worry, I won't stop contacting you." He said with a smile. "B-But..." Gohan sobbed. Goku gestured for a hug, and Gohan took it, crying into his shirt. "I know you don't want me to leave you again because I'm dead, but all you can do is cope." Goku said. "It's alright, sugarcube. He'll keep watch over ya." Applejack said. "Yeah, she's not lying." Goku said. Gohan finally stopped sobbing. He looked up at Goku with tearful eyes. "Gohan, I won't stop watching over you. Just know I haven't turned on you..." Goku said. He referenced what happened after the Cell Games. "Alright. I love you, Dad." Gohan said, wiping his tears. "I love you too, Gohan. Bye!" Goku said, instant transmissioning away. "I will never understand how you work Gohan." Rainbow Dash joked. "How so?" Gohan asked. "Your dead dad just visited for a day, how is that not confusing enough!?" Rainbow Dash asked. "I guess." Gohan said. "Well, what are we to do now?" Twilight asked. "Why don't we tour my awesome house?" Rainbow Dash asked. "We can't fly, Rainbow Dash." Twilight said. "Oh, I know how we can do that!" Gohan said. "How?" Twilight asked. Gohan performed the multi-form technique, creating four copies of Gohan. The others looked in shock. "Shocked?" The Gohans asked. "I-I have not seen cloning before, but this is just as good! I guess we can tour Rainbow Dash's house." Twilight said. "You do that, I'm going home." Spike said, walking away. "Alright, next stop! Casa de Dash!" Rainbow Dash said as they flew towards Rainbow Dash's house. Cadence's Wedding Pt. 1Gohan was training his swordsmanship skills in the gravity chamber as his friends had a picnic. Twilight received a message from Celestia about a wedding with her brother, Shining Armor, and "Princess Mi Amore Cadenza". The Mane 6 were tasked with things like decorations, party planning, birds singing, a Sonic Rainboom, fashion, planning, and catering. Gohan was tasked with meeting with Shining Armor for some reason. Rainbow Dash knocked on the door of Gohan's gravity chamber, as they needed to get on a train. "Gohan! Get out here!" Rainbow Dash yelled. Gohan came out with his sword in hand. "Yeah?" He asked. "We have a wedding to get to in Canterlot! Grab your clothes, and we'll leave in a jiffy!" She said. "Uh... Okay!" Gohan said, still confused. Since it was a wedding, he grabbed only one extra gi and his formal clothes. He packed his suitcase with a few bits as well. Gohan put his sword back in it's sheath, which was tied to his back. He forgot to leave it. *** The Mane 6 and Gohan were on a train to Canterlot! "Uh... Gohan? What's with the sword?" Applejack asked. "Oh! I forgot to leave it! Ugh. Sorry." Gohan said. "Who knows, maybe we need protection?" Rarity said. "I don't know, heheh." Gohan said. Then, he noticed there was a pink forcefield around Canterlot. "That may explain that forcefield around Canterlot." He said, pointing out the window. A pink force field was around Canterlot. "Huh. Wonder why that's there." Pinkie Pie said. "Protection." Gohan said. Then everyone started laughing at the obvious answer. When they arrived in Canterlot, many guards were at Canterlot station. "What's with the guards?" Rainbow Dash asked. "I'm sure they're just taking extra precautions. A royal wedding should be kept away from the strangest ponies." Rarity said. Pinkie Pie sneezed confetti. "Well, let's get going! We have work to do!" Rarity said, trotting away with the Mane 6. "And YOU have a big brother to go congratulate." Applejack said to Twilight. "Yeah, congratulate. And give him a piece of my mind." Twilight said, which left the others confused. "I have to go talk to him too." Gohan said, following Twilight. *** Twilight was walking towards her brother, talking to herself. Gohan followed. Her brother, Shining Armor, was commanding the guards to perform their duties. "I've got something to say to you, mister!" Twilight called. As soon as they heard Twilight, they were ready to defend. "Twily!" Shining Armor said, taking off his helmet and running down to greet Twilight and Gohan. "I've missed you kid! How was the train ride? I-" Shining Armor said, before he realized Twilight was staring daggers into him. "How dare you not tell me in person that you were getting married!? I'm your sister for pony's sake!" Twilight said. "It's not my fault! Princess Celestia has requested a major increase in security. Didn't you see all the guards at the train station?" Shining Armor asked. "Yeah, there's a big wedding coming up! Maybe you HEARD about it!" Twilight said as she trotted away and stopped at a puddle. Gohan smiled awkwardly at Twilight. "It has nothing to do with the wedding. A threat has been made against Canterlot. We don't know who's responsible for it, but Princess Celestia has requested that I provide additional protection." Shining Armor said, walking to his little sister. Shining Armor raised her head with a hoof. "This, you need to see." He said. Shining Armor proceeded to shoot an extra force field from his horn, but it took a lot out of him, and it gave him a headache. He and Twilight began to trot up the stairs. Gohan followed. "The burden of keeping Canterlot safe rests squarely on my shoulders. The task at hand has been my top priority." Shining Armor said. They all stopped on a small bridge above ground. "Okay, I get it. You have to protect Canterlot with a huge force field that only you can conjure up. But still! How could you not tell me that you were getting married? Am I not that important to you anymore?" Twilight asked, sadness evident. "Hey. You're my little sister. Of course you're important to me. But I'd understand if you didn't want to be my best mare now." Shining Armor said. Then she perked up. "You want me to be your best mare?" Twilight asked excitedly. "Well, yeah!" Shining Armor said. "I'd be honored!" Twilight said as they hugged. "But I'm still ticked that you're marrying somepony I don't even know! Who even is 'Princess Mi Amore Cadenza'?" Twilight said. "Twily, Princess Mi Amore Cadenza is Cadence. Your old foalsitter!" Shining Armor said. "Cadence? You mean the best foalsitter in the history of foalsitters!?" Twilight asked. "You tell me, she was your foalsitter." Shining Armor said. Twilight described how much of a great foalsitter Cadence was. Gohan couldn't help but smile. "You're marrying Cadence!" Twilight sang as she hopped around. Then, Cadence appeared. "I hope I'm not interrupting anything important?" Cadence said. Gohan felt a seriously big ki from Cadence. 'She doesn't hide her strength, I guess.' He thought. It was rather... Dark. Twilight tried performing a ritual dance with Cadence, as they were best friends. But Cadence just looked in confusion. "What are you doing?" Cadence asked. "Cadence it's me! Twilight!" Twilight said. "Uh huh." Cadence said as she trotted past Twilight. "Hello, Son Gohan." Cadence said. "O-Oh! Hello, Princess Mi Amore Cadenza." Gohan said, immediately bowing. "That's good, I didn't need to tell him." Cadence said. "Oh that's right! Gohan, we've heard a lot about you. You've saved Equestria from Discord!" Shining Armor said, hugging Cadence again. Gohan chuckled nervously. "I wouldn't like to talk about it." He said. "I need to get back to my station. Cadence will be around to monitor you guys. Son Gohan, come with me." Shining Armor said, trotting away. Gohan quickly followed. Twilight and Gohan did not feel a good vibe from Cadence. *** "There's a reason you were invited, Son Gohan." Shining Armor said. "J-Just Gohan is fine, Shining Armor." Gohan said. "Okay. You were invited for... Security reasons. You see, you were already with Twilight about the threat, correct?" Shining Armor asked. "Yes, sir." Gohan said. "Well, I've been told you can sense irregular powers. Or powerful ponies. Either way, you should contact me if you feel anything like that. If worst comes to worst, I will require you to fight." Shining Armor said. "I will sir. Do princesses count when the powers are great?" Gohan asked. "No. Unless it's spiked up too crazy, then you should contact me." Shining Armor said. "So, essentially I am a bodyguard?" Gohan asked. "Yes. If anything were to happen to me, or Cadence, or your friends and whatnot, you'll take care of it." Shining Armor said. "Anything else, sir?" Gohan asked. "Just relax while you're here. If you would like, you could teach the guards a thing or two. You seem to be a swordsman." Shining Armor said. "Y-Yeah." Gohan said, grabbing the handle. "Alright, I have things to do. See you later, Gohan." Shining Armor said, trotting away. Gohan wanted to tell Shining Armor about Cadence's weird power, and how it kept rising. But, it would offend him if he had doubts about his wife. Cadence's Wedding Pt. 2 (edited)Twilight saw how mean Cadence was acting towards her friends. Also, they were blind to it! I mean, the hell, Cadence! She threw perfectly good food in the trash, which dying foals in whatever the equivalent of Africa is in Equestria, she absolutely detested Rarity's dresses, she hated Pinkie's energy in general, and oh my Lord, the list goes on. How the fuck does only one pony see through the bullshit!? Anyway, let's get to the whole group. They were at a shop, drinking some random drinks. Twilight voiced her concerns about Cadence, and everyone ridiculed her. But... "I don't doubt your concerns, Twilight." Gohan said. "What!?" The Mane 6 asked. Twilight had very clear suspicions of Cadence, and so did Gohan. "If you two were best friends, I don't see how she could have forgotten you." Gohan said. "I also noticed that her power remains on the stronger side, instead of keeping it down. It's as if... She's always ready for attack. Also, it feels dark instead of lively." Gohan noted. "I think the two of you are crazy." Applejack said. Gohan sighed. "We'll have to figure this out ourselves." He said. Twilight already left. *** Twilight came to Shining Armor, who was dressed up. "Hey Twilight! Your big brother's looking good! Don't you think?" Shining Armor asked. Twilight just looked at him with sad eyes. "Everything okay?" Shining Armor asked. "We need to talk. I think you're making a big-" "AHEM." Cadence interrupted. "Oh hi, sweetie." Shining Armor said. Gohan came into the room. "Hey Gohan." Shining Armor said. "Can I speak to you for a moment, dear?" Cadence asked. "Better see what she wants." Shining Armor said, trotting to Cadence in another room. Twilight and Gohan looked at each other, and nodded. Gohan could hear the conversation, but Twilight went for a closer look. "I told you I don't like your outfit!" Cadence said. "It was my favorite uncle's!" Shining Armor said. "I don't care. Are you disagreeing with me?" Cadence asked. "Well, I guess I am!" Shining Armor said. "You must be having a headache again, let me help." Cadence said. "No, I don't- Argh..." Shining Armor said. Cadence was seemingly performing a mind control spell on Shining Armor. Gohan felt and heard the whole thing. Twilight saw the whole thing. The two looked to each other. Then, they high tailed it. *** Twilight and Gohan rushed to the rest of the Mane 6. "Guys! My brother is in-" Twilight said, before realizing they were dressed up. "What are you-" "Can you believe it?" Fluttershy interrupted, showing her dress. "We're going to be Princess Mi Amore Cadenza's new bridesmaids! And Gohan, you're part of the groomsmen!" She said. "New bridesmaids? What happened to her OLD bridesmaids?" Twilight asked. "And what's a groomsman?" Gohan asked. "She didn't say, but she would love, love, love it if we filled in for them. Oh, and it's the same as a bridesmaid." Applejack said. "It's because we've been working so hard, and everything." Rarity said. The rest of them began to compliment each other's dresses, pointing out that Twilight was wrong. Twilight already began to walk away in defeat. Gohan looked back at her, and felt terrible. *** All of the ponies involved in the wedding were rehearsing. Even Gohan, with his sword. Twilight was missing. But, she burst through the doors. "I'm here, and I'm not going to stand next to her! And neither should you!" Twilight said. Gohan looked back at her. 'She didn't give up!' He thought. Shining Armor wasn't happy with the comment. "I'm sorry, I don't know why she's acting like this." He said to Cadence. "Maybe we should just ignore her." Cadence said. "You have to listen to me!" Twilight shouted. "Oh goodness! Are you okay?" Fluttershy asked. "I'm fine." Twilight said. "You sure about that?" Applejack asked. Twilight pushed Applejack away with her magic. "I've got something to say! She's evil!" Twilight said, pointing a hoof at Cadence. "Yeah!" Gohan said, adding flame to the fire. Shining Armor came to Cadence's defense quickly. The other ponies were surprised. "She's been terrible to my friends," Twilight said, teleporting behind Cadence. She walked closer to Cadence, who backed away. "She's definitely done something with her bridesmaids, and Gohan and I saw her cast a spell on my brother which made him go-" Twilight said, mimicking the screwed up head. Or cuckoo crazy. Cadence acted confused, but Twilight stared daggers into her soul. Cadence began to cry like a total bitch. 'Oh no.' Gohan thought. "Why are you doing this to me!?" She cried, running away. "Because you're evil!" Twilight said, teleporting after Cadence. "EVIL! And if I don't stop you're gonna ruin my brother's life!" Twilight yelled. The other ponies stared at Twilight in shock. Shining Armor was not happy at all. He walked up to Twilight angrily. She cowered... "Do you want to know why my eyes went" screwed up head? " Shining Armor asked. "With the protection spell, I've been getting terrible migraines. She hasn't been casting spells on me! She's been using her magic to heal me!" He said. "Shining Armor, she has controlled you well, but two witness testimonies contradict that!" Gohan said, pointing at Shining Armor. "What?" Shining Armor asked. "Not Gohan too..." Rarity said. "We were there at that time. You two were arguing about your favorite uncle's outfit, and how she didn't like it! She silenced you by casting a spell, ending the conversation there!" Gohan said. "Yeah, she's evil!" Twilight said. "That's not true! Why would she even do that!?" Shining Armor asked. "There are too many loopholes for you two to make that claim." Celestia said, also a bit angry. "I'm afraid not!" Gohan said. Twilight didn't really know what to respond with, so she really didn't add any more. "Tell me this: Would someone crowned as the Princess of Love have a dark energy? Would she argue with her soon to be husband with something as petty as his clothing?" Gohan asked. "You're speaking nonsense!" Shining Armor yelled. "Cadence has no dark energy, she's pure as ever!" He yelled, inching closer to Gohan. Gohan wasn't fazed. "You're telling the one being in Equestria that can sense life forms that she doesn't have a dark energy? Especially with the way she acts?" He asked. "Then you're lying!" Shining Armor yelled. Gohan gave him an unamused face. "You can't be serious... Okay, it's clear as day that you'll do anything to defend Cadence, but what happened last night? She hated your outfit, and hated the fact that you disagreed with her!" He claimed. "She was helping me with my migraine! The reason why she's been acting crazy is because she's had to plan the wedding, replace the bridesmaids and groomsmen with your friends because of malicious intent, and she's been treating my migraines!" Shining Armor countered horribly. "How does that give anypony the moral high ground to act so bitter?" Twilight asked, trying to chip in. "She isn't acting bitter, YOU are! She cares about me, Twilight! Something YOU don't care about!" Shining Armor yelled. "B-But I-" Twilight tried to respond. "Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go comfort my bride. And you can forget about being my best mare!" Shining Armor said, trotting away. "In fact, if I were you, I wouldn't show up to the wedding at all." Shining Armor said. "Hey, don't you leave yet! I'm not done making my case!" Gohan yelled. "You shouldn't, either! To both!" Shining Armor yelled. "Well, I clearly won the argument." Gohan said to himself. The rest of the Mane 6 trotted away. "Come on y'all, let's go comfort the princess." Applejack said. They all had mean faces towards Twilight and Gohan. "You have a lot to think about." Celestia said, trotting away. "Twilight." Gohan said. Twilight looked back at Gohan with tearful eyes. "...Don't give up. We can help your brother, I know it. He needs more than the truth." Gohan said. "I don't think we're right anymore." Twilight said, trotting towards the stairs. "But-" "-Its all a coincidence, let's end it!" Twilight yelled. It was too late. Twilight gave up. Gohan was left alone with saving Shining Armor from... Whoever Cadence must be. "I could've gained a sister, but I lost a brother instead!" Twilight said, laying on the stairs, crying. Gohan walked and sat by her side. He knew Cadence was acting out of turn, she was the princess of love. Acting mean is not in her nature. Cadence appeared again. She patted Twilight's forehead. "I'm sorry!" Twilight said with tearful eyes. Cadence's eyes turned from sincere to angry. "You will be." She said, using her magic to trap Twilight and Gohan in a green fire. "What the heck!?" Gohan asked. The fire lowered Twilight and Gohan to an unknown place. *** Gohan looked around to see that they were in a crystal cave. Twilight was scared. "What happened!?" Twilight asked. Gohan sensed another ki beside him, and threw a ki blast at a crystal. The blast revealed... Cadence? "Princess?" Gohan asked. "You!" Twilight yelled, running at Cadence. "No, wait!" Cadence yelled. Gohan moved in front of Cadence, shielding her from Twilight. "That must be the real Princess Mi Amore Cadenza!" Gohan said. "Yes, it's me Twilight!" Cadence said. "How do I know!?" Twilight asked, horn ready to attack. Cadence performed the dance they always performed when Twilight was a child. "C-Cadence!?" Twilight asked, hugging the real Cadence. "I've missed you Twilight. But we're in trouble!" Cadence said. "That fake is going to marry Shining Armor!" Twilight said. "Hold on, you're injured. Take this." Gohan said, sparing a cup of energy for Cadence. "Thank you. Y-You must be Son Gohan. I've heard many things about you." Cadence said. "Not now, I think the ceremony's happening soon, I sense many ponies up there." Gohan said, pointing to the ceiling. "Oh no! We won't make it in time!" Cadence said. *** 'Cadence' was trotting to her mind controlled 'husband', Shining Armor. The music was playing. *** "It's about to happen!" Gohan said. "We won't make it in time!" Cadence said. "Oh yes we will!" Gohan said, throwing a ki blast at the ceiling. It didn't do anything. "I'm not done yet!" Gohan said, cupping his hands together at his side. "I have to use a lot more to take this down!" He said. "What are you- Oh!" Twilight said. "Ka..." Gohan said. 'Cadence' was already trotting up the stairs. "Me..." Gohan said. 'Cadence' was at Shining Armor's side. "Ha..." Gohan said. Celestia was saying a few words. "Me..." Gohan said. "You may now kiss the bride." Celestia said. "HA!" Gohan yelled, blasting the ceiling with the Kamehameha wave. The immense beam burst through the floor, and through the ceiling of where the wedding took place. The ponies looked in shock. Only Shining Armor didn't respond. As the beam died down, the dust cleared, and revealed Gohan, Twilight and the real Cadence. 'Cadence' hadn't noticed the real Cadence or Gohan. "Oh, why does she keep doing this to me!?" 'Cadence' cried. "Because this is not your wedding!" Cadence yelled as Gohan jumped up to the floor, carrying Twilight and Cadence. Everyone was left confused. Cadence's Wedding Pt. 3'Cadence' looked in shock as the real Cadence was there. "But how did you escape my bridesmaids!?" 'Cadence' asked. "What bridesmaids?" The three asked. "Clever, but you're still too late!" 'Cadence' said. "I don't understand, how can there be two of them!?" Applejack asked. "She's a changeling! She transforms into the ponies you love and gains power from the love you give them." Cadence said. 'Cadence''s eyes were angry and glowing green. Gohan felt a massive ki surge. She transformed into who she really was, Queen Chrysalis. A changeling. The transformation itself created winds. Chrysalis cackled. "Right you are, princess. And it's QUEEN of the changelings, and it is up to me to find food for my subjects." She said. "Equestria has more love than any place I've ever encountered." Chrysalis said as she trotted down the stairs. "My changelings will eat it, and receive more power than we have ever dreamed of!" She said. "Not on my watch!" Gohan yelled, jumping in front of Chrysalis, and held his sword in both hands. "We will rule all of Equestria!" Chrysalis said. "No. You won't." Celestia said. "Wait, don't!" Gohan yelled. "You may have stopped Shining Armor from performing his spell, but you have foolishly revealed your true self!" Celestia yelled as she and Chrysalis clashed their horns. Celestia flew up. "I will protect my subjects from you!" She said as she blasted Chrysalis. Chrysalis also blasted Celestia. After a long struggle, Chrysalis won and wounded Celestia greatly. "Princess Celestia!" Twilight yelled. "It seems Shining Armor's love was more than I thought. But now I am even more powerful than Princess Celestia!" Chrysalis yelled. Gohan kicked Chrysalis, ending her 'victory'. "Who dares...?" She asked. "You may be tougher than the princess, but you've got a new challenge that's impossible to overcome!" Gohan said. Princess Celestia sent the Mane 6 to get the Elements of Harmony. "You impudent little- You're kidding, right? I am stronger than Princess Celestia! What are you, her underling?" Chrysalis asked. "No, I'm my father's son! And protector of Equestria!" Gohan said with pride. He dashed at Chrysalis. Gohan and Chrysalis fought, creating shockwaves and magic/ki explosions. The other ponies ran out of the place. Gohan threw many ki blasts, which Chrysalis got either hit by or blocked with her magic. "T-This is impossible! You can't be stronger than Celestia... Or me!" Chrysalis yelled. When Gohan swung his sword, Chrysalis blocked with her horn. Gohan and Chrysalis were parrying constantly. Over the course of battle, Chrysalis had been gaining strength. Shining Armor's love provided said strength. However, Gohan remained to be the stronger one. "What's wrong? What happened to ruling Equestria?" He taunted. She bucked Gohan as hard as she could, but she was still not evenly matched. Gohan knew she was getting stronger by the moment, and wanted to know her limits. Since he felt the Mane 6 in danger, he couldn't have fun with Chrysalis. "Alright, time to end this!" Gohan yelled, turning Super Saiyan and putting his sword back in his sheath. "W-What!?" Chrysalis asked. "Kamehameha!" Gohan yelled, firing the Kamehameha wave at Chrysalis. Chrysalis used her magic to try and combat it, but she was instantly over powered by it, and was knocked away into the distance. "NNNOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooo...." Chrysalis yelled as she was blasted. Gohan couldn't tell if she died. However, the changelings were still roaming. Gohan flew above Canterlot. He saw how the changelings were ruining Canterlot, smashing buildings and terrorizing the citizens. They were even shapeshifting into his friends! And fighting them, it seems. But, he could tell who was fake or not. Sensing power levels did have a good perk. Gohan flew over to the Mane 6, who were all battling the changelings. He pulled his sword out and killed a changeling who was about to attack the real Fluttershy. The green blood oozed upon Gohan's sword. "Oh! Thank you, Gohan." Fluttershy said. "Maybe later you can say that!" Gohan said, slashing his sword through the many Raritys, Rainbow Dashes, Pinkie Pies, Fluttershys, and Twilights. The Mane 6 stopped fighting, as Gohan had covered it. Gohan blasted a horde of changelings, killing many effectively. He began to slaughter the armies of the changelings with his sword again. They were not shapeshifting into him, because being a Gohan would literally screw up their bones. "Dude, Gohan looks so cool when he uses that sword!" Rainbow Dash commented. "He is rather elegant using it, and I like it. But I wouldn't say the same about the changelings." Rarity said. "Maybe he's good with a lasso?" Applejack asked. "I dunno. He looks cool though!" Pinkie Pie said. Gohan received no damage from the changelings, mostly because of being a Super Saiyan. Gohan stabbed the last changelings in rapid succession. After the final one died, and there were no more, Gohan reverted back to his base form. Gohan was covered in changeling blood, but he paid no attention to that. "Are you guys alright?" Gohan asked. "Yeah, we watched you murder them all! It was awesome!" Rainbow Dash said. "How did you stab them all in rapid succession? You must have practiced." Rarity said. "We're all okay." Fluttershy said. "T-That's good. At least we're all okay. At least it's over, now." Gohan said. "I forgot! We still need the Elements of Harmony!" Twilight said. "I took care of Chrysalis." Gohan said. "Really? Oh, that's good." Twilight said. *** "Shining! Get up, honey!" Cadence said, trying to wake Shining Armor up. Shining Armor woke up, with barely any energy. "You're okay!" Cadence said, hugging Shining Armor. "W-What happened?" He asked. "The threat made to Canterlot has ceased, Shining Armor!" Gohan called in the distance. He was walking back to where the wedding was going to take place alongside the Mane 6. "Wha?" Shining Armor asked. "But we do have an enormous corpse count in Canterlot." Gohan said. "I would take care of it, but I'm too weak to clean it." Shining Armor said. "Oh, I'll take care of that." Gohan said, sparing a big cup of energy to Shining Armor. "Wow! This powered me up quickly! Alright, time to get rid of... The bodies." Shining Armor said. He performed a spell which blasted the changeling corpses back where they came from. *** "Boy, am I glad we have you!" Shining Armor said, pointing a hoof at Gohan. "Oh, t-thanks." Gohan said, scratching the back of his head. "I cannot thank you enough for saving the wedding." Cadence said. "Twilight and I had a hunch that she was evil. Heh." Gohan chuckled. "That's right, I have to go apologize to her! I should have never doubted you and her." Shining Armor said. "She's going to need that apology." Gohan said, chuckling afterwards. Cadence's Wedding Pt. 4After a redo on what was required from the Mane 6, the wedding was going to happen again. Twilight became best mare for Shining Armor again, and received an apology for the way he acted. Cadence did not act mean towards the Mane 6 like Chrysalis had. She even brought Gohan along. They had Applejack's cooking, loved Rarity's dresses and suits, thought the Sonic Rainboom was spectacular, thought the party decorations and plans were a blast, and thought Fluttershy's birds sounded perfect. After such an ordeal, the wedding was finally happening the way it should be. The Mane 6 were in their dresses, and Gohan was a Super Saiyan in his proper attire. https://t00.deviantart.net/Cd3AqpNkMVGG09Wav8m2_7okeiw=/fit-in/700x350/filters:fixed_height(100,100):origin()/pre00/da5b/th/pre/f/2016/366/e/1/gohan_by_tch023-datos61.png Cadence was walking up to her soon to be husband. The birds sang. The Cutie Mark Crusaders made a path of flower petals, making way for Cadence. Cadence was now with Shining Armor. "Mares and gentlecolts, we are gathered here today to celebrate a union of the Princess Mi Amore Cadenza-" Princess Celestia said. "Princess Cadence is fine." Cadence said sheepishly. "-The union of Princess Cadence and Shining Armor. The strength of their commitment is clear, the power of their love is undeniable. May we have the rings please?" Celestia asked. Spike brought the rings up. Celestia used her magic to places the rings on their horns. "I now pronounce you mare, and colt." She said. Cheers erupted, and the newlyweds made way to see a large crowd. The Mane 6 and Gohan remained behind with Celestia. "You two." Celestia said, pointing a hoof at Gohan and Twilight. "This is your victory as much as theirs. You persisted in the face of doubt, and your actions led to your being able to bring the real Princess Cadence back to us. Learning to trust your instincts, is a valuable lesson to learn." Celestia said. 'Huh... Why does that sound like it's going to happen." Gohan thought. As Shining Armor and Cadence kissed, Rainbow Dash performed a Sonic Rainboom in a second. "BEST WEDDING EVER!" She yelled. *** Gohan did not attend the after party for some reason. The others celebrated and took pictures, danced, ate and did many fun things. However, Gohan sat beside Canterlot, merely sitting on it's edge. He looked to the sky, which had many fireworks. No one really questioned why Gohan didn't dance, or even come to the party. "Am I too late?" Goku asked, from Other World. Gohan snickered. "Kind of. Hey Dad." He said. "Man, this is completely different than the wedding your mother and I had." Goku said. "Really?" Gohan asked. "Oh yeah, we didn't have fireworks and all that. It was small, and that's when I became a prince. Heheh." Goku chuckled. "Oh, that's right. Grandpa Ox is a king." Gohan said. "Yeah... Just wanted to say hi. Anyway, talk to you later." Goku said. "Bye Dad." Gohan said. "Son Gohan?" A voice asked. Gohan looked back to see Princess Luna. "Hello, Princess Luna." Gohan said. "Why aren't you enjoying the festivities?" Luna asked. "I don't know, it just doesn't feel right. Or, I don't feel the urge to celebrate at the moment." Gohan said. "I see. We will be sure to leave you plenty of food." Luna said. "Thanks." Gohan said, looking back at the fireworks. "I almost forgot, we are short on fireworks." Luna said. "I can take care of those." Gohan said. "R-Really?" Luna asked. "Should I demonstrate?" Gohan asked, looking back at Luna again. Luna nodded. Gohan stood up, and threw two ki blasts. He made them spin around each other in the air, and made them explode into a giant heart shape. Everyone even from Ponyville could see it. "V-Very immense. I suppose you can handle the fireworks for now. How much longer can you handle this?" Luna asked. "Very long. It can be hours until I drop." Gohan said. "We shall reward you later for your time." Luna said. "You don't need to do that." Gohan said, blasting more ki blasts into explosions of hearts and regular circles. "You do not want us to reimburse you for your time?" Luna asked. "I don't want any money for something I find fun." Gohan said, creating more explosions. "Well, there is no doubt that your soul is pure. Have a good evening, Son Gohan." Luna said, trotting away. Gohan went back at it with extra blasts this time. *** "W-Who's handling the amazing fireworks?" Fluttershy asked. "Is that... Gohan?" Rarity asked. "Man, he never ceases to amaze us." Applejack said. "Yeah, with his awesomeness!" Rainbow Dash said. "Maybe I should hire him for fireworks for ALL the parties I throw!" Pinkie Pie said. "That's a good idea." Twilight said. *** The next morning Gohan packed up his things. Well, his few things. "Gohan?" Twilight asked. "Yeah?" Gohan asked. "I just wanted to thank you for... Not giving up for me. And saving my brother. That was a nightmare." Twilight said. "I thought there was something weird about the fake Cadence." Gohan said with a warm smile. "Why didn't you party with us?" Twilight asked. "I didn't feel like partying. In fact, I did the fireworks after Princess Luna said I could do it." Gohan said. "You always strike me as odd, you know?" Twilight said. "I guess I am a bit unusual. I mean, the way I didn't follow my heritage is why Spike didn't follow the ways of his heritage." Gohan laughed. "Yeah... He was about to stay there forever." Twilight said. *** They were back in Ponyville, and life was back to the usual. The Crystal Empire Pt. 1 (Edited)"The princess wants us in Canterlot again?" Gohan asked. "Yes, and we have to hurry! To the train!" Twilight said, running to the train. Gohan flew and grabbed Twilight to take her to the train station. *** Gohan and Twilight entered the room. "I'm prepared for this test, Princess Celestia!" Twilight said, showing all her supplies. "This is a different kind of test." Celestia said, putting Twilight's supplies back in her saddlebag. "The Crystal Empire?" Twilight asked. She frantically looked through her books. "I'm sorry, I thought I had studied! I don't think there's anything in my books that-" "There wouldn't be." Celestia said. "Few remember it ever existed at all." Celestia said, using her magic to levitate a crystal. "What's important about the Crystal Empire?" Gohan asked. The crystal was laid on the floor, to reveal what was the Crystal Empire. It was beautiful, even showing the crystal ponies. "I do not know much. But I know it contains a powerful magic." Celestia said. "1000 Years ago, King Sombra, who's heart was as black as night, took over the Crystal Empire." Celestia said. The Crystal Empire projection turned into a wasteland. Then a projection of King Sombra appeared. The Crystal Empire was ruled by an evil looking guy, according to Gohan. Crystal ponies were slaves to Sombra. "He was ultimately overthrown, turned to shadow." Celestia said, showing a projection of her and Luna destroying Sombra. "He was banished to the ice of the Arctic North. But not before he put a curse upon the empire. A curse that caused it to vanish into thin air." Celestia said. The projection of the Crystal Empire disappeared. Celestia raised the gem with her magic. "If the empire is filled with hope and love, those things are reflected across all of Equestria." She said, making the gem shine rainbows. "If hatred and fear take hold..." Celestia said, using dark magic to create dark crystals around Twilight and Gohan. She destroyed them soon after. "Which is why I need your help to find a way to protect it." Celestia said. "You want me to help protect an entire empire?" Twilight asked. "It is, as I said, a different kind of test. But one I'm certain you will pass." Celestia said. Twilight seemed doubtful, but soon turned serious. "How do I begin?" She asked. "By joining Princess Cadence and Shining Armor in the Crystal Empire." Celestia said. "My brother's there?" Twilight asked. "He is. And your Ponyville friends will join you as well." Celestia said. "So, we just need to keep hatred from entering the Crystal Empire?" Gohan asked. "Correct." Celestia said. They walked/trotted away from the throne room. "I believe you will succeed. And when you do, You'll be on the next level of your studies." Celestia said. Luna was waiting outside. She had a serious face towards Twilight. Gohan scowled at her because he thought it was a contest. "But what if I fail?" Twilight asked. "You won't." Celestia said. "But... What if?-" Twilight after before Celestia put a hoof on Twilight. "You won't." She said. Gohan and Luna were having a scowling staring contest at this point. "That's enough you two." Celestia said, giggling afterwards. "Good game!" Gohan said with a smile. "As to you." Luna said with a smile. "Now Gohan, you will be a great addition to Twilight's journey. However, it is her alone who can assist Princess Cadence and Shining Armor in doing what needs to be done to protect the empire." Celestia said. "Alright." Gohan said. "Do you two understand?" Celestia asked. "Yes!" Twilight said. "Yes, ma'am!" Gohan said, saluting the princesses. "Then go. There is no time to lose." Celestia said, closing the doors. "Don't worry, you can do it." Gohan said. "I hope..." Twilight said. *** Spike, Gohan and the Mane 6 were all on their way to the Crystal Empire. On a train. They got off at the Frozen North. "Hah. I packed many scarves." Rarity said. Spike was carrying Rarity's stuff. There were many suitcases and bags. "Uh... Do you need help?" Gohan asked. "No... I can... Do this..." Spike said. "Twilight!" Shining Armor called. He was approaching in a mask. "Shining Armor?" Twilight asked. "Twily, you made it!" He said. They hugged. "We better get moving. There are things we can run into that we don't want to run into after dark." Shining Armor said. "What kind of things?" Fluttershy asked, scared. "Let's just say... The empire isn't the only thing that's returned." Shining Armor said. "Okay, let's go." Gohan said. "Oh, Gohan! Didn't even notice you!" Shining Armor said. "Let's get going before the frostbite hits you." Gohan said. "What about you?" Twilight asked. "This is not cold for me." Gohan said with a smile. "Yeah, it's a breeze." Rainbow Dash said. *** As the Mane 6, Spike, Gohan and Shining Armor traveled, they were hit by tremendous weather. Gohan was the only one unfazed. "Something keeps trying to get in! We think it's unicorn who originally cursed the place!" Shining Armor said. "But Princess Celestia said I was centered to find a way to protect the empire! If King Sombra can't get in, it must already be protected!" Twilight said. A loud howl was heard. A high strength could be sensed by Gohan. "We have to get to the Crystal Empire, now!" Shining Armor said. A dark magic figure appeared. It was smoke, practically. "That's it." Shining Armor said. "GO! I'll take it on!" Gohan yelled, running in front of the figure. The others already ran. However, the figure blasted rocks of some sort at the others. Gohan blasted them away. Gohan blasted the weird dust magic thing away. But it was coming back. It shot out weird rocks if some sort at Gohan's hands. Gohan tried blasting him again, but it didn't work! "What!?" Gohan asked. The figure was closing in. He smashed the figure with his fists, but it turned whole again and seemed unfazed. "So it's a spirit!" Gohan said, flying away. It was chasing Gohan. "Time to leave! SOLAR FLARE!" Gohan said, performing the Solar Flare. The figure shrieked. Gohan flew away, where the others were. *** They entered the barrier around the Crystal Empire. The Mane 6 and Spike marveled at the Crystal Empire. Gohan arrived shortly after. "Gohan! What happened back there?" Twilight asked. "I think that thing's a spirit. No wonder I couldn't destroy it with just a few simple blasts. I couldn't use my ki with my hands... Let me try again." Gohan said. Gohan powered up, and it didn't remove the rocks. "Okay, let's try THIS!" Gohan said, turning Super Saiyan. This got the rocks off. "Okay, I got it." He said. "Gohan, just look at how amazing the Crystal Empire looks!" Rarity said, pointing her hoof at it. The Crystal Empire Pt. 3 (edited)After an, 'annoying' song according to Gohan, the Crystal Empire was decorated to how it was a thousand years ago. The Mane 6 made a whole fair for the empire. Jousting, flags, animals, instruments, you name it! It took a few days, but it was happening. Gohan began to tire from the lack of sleep. Bags appeared under his eyes. Twilight called for the Crystal Ponies to attend the Crystal Fair. Just from hearing Twilight yell for the ponies to come to the Crystal Fair made the Crystal Ponies sort of crystal again. But, the Crystal Heart wasn't the actual one. That was the one problem. The one Twilight made was merely temporary. "I'll retrieve the heart." Twilight said, rushing to find the Crystal Heart. Only Gohan and Spike came, the rest of the Mane 6 had to keep the Crystal Ponies happy with the fair. "Gohan, this is my test!" Twilight said. "The test doesn't say you can't get help. Besides, you may get lost in there!" Gohan said, pointing at the castle. "Ugh, you can come. Don't do anything, like Spike promised me!" Twilight said. After finding the throne room with the gem exactly like Celestia's, Twilight performed a dark magic spell. It revealed a staircase in the floor. "Wow, that's cool!" Gohan said. "No time, Crystal Heart!" Twilight said, rushing down the stairs. "I'll take us down there in a jiffy, and my aura can be a light!" Gohan called. "Fine!" Twilight exclaimed. "But nothing other than this!" She added. "Alright, alright." Gohan said. Gohan took Spike and Twilight and traveled to the bottom of the stairs at breakneck speeds. As they reached the bottom, a door appeared. Twilight attempted to open the door, but it kept moving. "Should I destroy it?" Gohan asked. "No, let me handle this." Twilight said, using another dark magic spell. When the door opened, each of them were put into a different place of mind. *** Twilight was suddenly in Celestia's palace. She looked around in confusion. "What are you doing here?" Celestia asked. "I-I don't know, I opened the door and then-" "Now you must go." Celestia said. She was clearly enraged. "Go where!?" Twilight asked. "Doesn't matter to me. You failed the test, Twilight!" Celestia said. Twilight was shocked. She failed!? "I don't understand, the test!?" Twilight asked. "Not only will you not move on to the next level of your studies, you won't continue your studies AT ALL!" Celestia called. Twilight was in tears. "B-But, you didn't say I wouldn't be your student if I failed!" She said. Celestia wrapped her wing around Twilight, only to push her away instantly. "Didn't I?" She asked, trotting away. "But, what do I do now!?" Twilight asked. She looked to see a stained glass with King Sombra defeating her! "No... No... no...." Twilight muttered. *** Gohan was having his own nightmare. *** He was suddenly back on Earth. "The heck?" He said to himself. He suddenly sported Piccolo's gi. Without the cape. And he was in the Cell Games arena? The Mane 6 were approaching him from afar. Twilight waved as she came closer. "Did you really think you won?" A familiar voice came from behind. A worried Gohan turned around to see... "Cell! You're back!?" Gohan asked. Cell chuckled. "Do you honestly think a barrier can protect the Crystal Empire?" He asked. "How do YOU know about that!?" Gohan asked. Cell chuckled. "Can't say. Speaking of which... Are those your new friends?" He asked, pointing at the close Mane 6. "No... Don't you dare hurt them!" Gohan yelled. "Oh, I won't... But they will." Cell said. Behind Gohan came many childish giggles and muttering. "The Cell Juniors!?" Gohan asked. They all charged at a petrified Mane 6. Gohan quickly flew after them, but he was suddenly stopped. Cell had caught his foot from behind. "Not this time, RUNT!" He yelled. He instantly swumg him around many times in less than a second and hurled him at a pillar of the arena. The pillar broke, obviously. "No!" He cried out. The Mane 6 were were being brutally and mercilessly beaten up... He tried to charge at them again, only to be halted by Cell once more. "You know what? I'll turn the entire planet to dust!" He yelled, charging a yellow ki blast in his hands. "Y-You wouldn't!" Gohan yelled. "Say goodbye to your precious Equestria!" Cell yelled. "Equestria?" Gohan asked. *** "GOHAN!" Spike screamed. This got them out of their trancelike state. "Are you okay?" Spike asked. "I... I'm here...? I'm here! Oh, thank Kami." Gohan said. "King Sombra's dark magic." Twilight explained. She opened the door with good magic this time. This revealed... another room. With another staircase. "UUUUGGGHHHH!" Spike groaned. "I'm here, remember?" Gohan asked. "Oh, right." Spike said. "We better make this quick, I'm getting tired." Gohan said. Gohan carried Twilight and Spike to the top, but he already began to pant. The barrier he kept was weakening as he himself was tiring. It's been two days. At the top, they saw a... Crystal Heart? "Alright, let's get the Crystal Heart so I can turn off the Super Saiyan and maybe take a nap!" Gohan said. "Alright! Now, let's get this Crystal Heart to Cadence!" Twilight said, carrying the Crystal Heart with her magic. But, suddenly, Twilight was trapped in dark spikes! She even dropped the Crystal Heart! "W-What!? No way, how did he get through!?" Gohan asked. "H-He!?" Spike asked. *** During all of this, King Sombra managed to get through Gohan's barrier with a little trick. Pinkie Pie was doing her usual crazy things around the outer walls of the barrier. Why was she outside of the barrier...? "This snow will go great with my 氷!" Pinkie yelled. (Not the full word but just flavored snow cone) King Sombra was lurking around... He snuck up behind Pinkie with his smoke form.... She was humming a song. I dunno, Smile? Don't know. And he possessed her by literally going into her body! Her eyes turned green, and her pupils were red. She was under complete control. She entered the barrier no sweat. And Sombra just exited for a good reason. He vomited rainbows as he left... Anyway, he already began his assault on the Crystal Empire. "My Crystal slaves..." He called. The Crystal Ponies were running everywhere crazily. They lost their sort of crystal look. The rest of the Mane 6 rushed to Cadence. "Princess! I accidentally let Sombra in!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed. "YOU WHAT!?" Cadence and Shining Armor asked. *** Gohan tried to smash the dark crystals to get Twilight out, but they kept regenerating too quickly. "D-Dang it! How will you pass the test if you don't get the Crystal Heart to Cadence!?" Spike asked. Twilight thought long and hard. She tried teleporting out of it, but she was put right back in. "D-Dang it!" Gohan shouted, smashing the rocks again. "Spike. You have to take it." Twilight said. "But Twilight-" "SPIKE! It doesn't matter if I die, JUST GET THE HEART TO CADENCE!" Twilight yelled. Spike picked up the dropped Crystal Heart. "It's the only way, Spike!" Gohan said, grabbing Spike and traversing down the castle from outside. King Sombra was already on his way to Twilight and the others. "THAT HEART IS MINE!" King Sombra declared. His form became physical again. "Spike, live through this for me." Gohan said, dropping Spike. "AAAHH!" Spike screamed. Gohan charged at King Sombra, and took advantage of his physical form. He pummeled him to stall him. King Sombra's assault was put to a halt. But Spike was still falling. "HEEELLLLP!" He screamed. Author's Note Well, I edited it to be better. Tell me what you think. The Crystal Empire Pt. 4Cadence flew through the air, catching Spike in time. Gohan was still pummeling King Sombra. Cadence landed with the Crystal Heart in her magic. "The Crystal Heart has returned! May we use it to keep order and peace!" Cadence shouted, putting the Crystal Heart in it's rightful place. At the center of the castle. The Crystal Ponies were really Crystal Ponies again! Their wills alone began to overpower King Sombra's dark magic. Gohan finally stopped pummeling King Sombra. "What!? NO!" King Sombra asked. The Crystal Heart spun crazily, and made EVERYONE Crystal. Even Gohan, surprisingly. But since he was a Super Saiyan, he glowed extra bright. The Crystal Heart destroyed ALL of King Sombra's dark magic! It freed Twilight, too. Who also became a Crystal Pony. King Sombra was defeated, and exploded into many pieces. The Crystal Heart moved it's power to the top of the castle, where it displayed an amazing light show all across Equestria. Gohan turned off his Super Saiyan form and collapsed from exhaustion. He fell from the air and smashed onto the ground. He also fell asleep on the ground beside the Mane 6. The others, including Cadence and Shining Armor were a little touched to see Gohan sleeping. Spike looked to the top of the castle, where Twilight remained. "Good job, Spike." She said. *** Gohan woke up in a bed. He groaned as he woke up. "Is it homework time already?" He asked blindly. "No, silly!" Pinkie Pie said. Gohan was surprised to see the Mane 6 there. "W-Were you watching me sleep?" Gohan asked. "We wanted to make y'all were okay." Applejack said. "Uh... Okay. I'm going to pretend you guys never watched me sleep, because that sounds too familiar." Gohan said. Piccolo. "It took a long time to get you into this bed!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed. "Oh, I'm sorry. I probably should have left my weighted clothes at home." Gohan said. "Alright... Anyway, the Crystal Empire has been restored!" Twilight said. "Oh, you're all crystal!" Gohan said. "So are you, darling." Rarity said. "Oh... Wait, let me see if..." Gohan said, turning Super Saiyan. That wasn't a bright idea. Get it? "AAH! TOO BRIGHT, TOO BRIGHT!" Rainbow Dash screamed. Gohan turned it off instantly. "Sorry. Hah!" He said. "Please warn us next time you do that..." Fluttershy said. "I'm sorry." Gohan said. "Stop saying sorry!" Rainbow Dash said. "Oh, alright. Sorry about that." Gohan said. "You did it again, sugarcube." Applejack said. "Oh, man! Sorry, I'm an idi- I did it again! Oh, I am so sorry- NO!" Gohan said. Everyone began to laugh at his expense, but he laughed with them eventually. *** The Crystal Ponies were back to normal again. The Mane 6, Spike and Gohan were leaving after a festival. Shining Armor and Cadence were walking them to the train station. "I do wish that it was permanent!" Rarity said. "Oh well. You win some, you lose some." Gohan said. "Oh yeah! You looked very cute when you napped!" Pinkie Pie said. "O-Oh really, did I?" Gohan asked, scratching the back of his head. "Uh, yeah." The rest said. Gohan blushed and smiled nervously. "Everything will be okay now. Twily, you gotta stop saving my rump like this. It's a little embarrassing." Shining Armor joked. Twilight smiled in return, but also had a sad look. "I wasn't the one who delivered the Crystal Heart. I failed the test." Twilight said. "She'll give you a new test!" Shining Armor said. "I don't think she'll give me a new test." Twilight said. *** Everyone was back in Canterlot. Twilight finally ended her meeting with Celestia, Luna and Gohan. "B-But I wasn't the one who delivered the Crystal Heart to Cadence!" Twilight said, pointing at the stained glass with Spike delivering the Crystal Heart while Gohan was pummeling King Sombra. "It is true you did not deliver the Crystal Heart yourself. Spike delivered it because you didn't know how quickly you could escape the tower. You weren't willing to risk the citizens of the Crystal Empire in an effort to guarantee your own. It's self sacrifice, Twilight." Celestia said. "D-Does this mean...?" Twilight asked. What happened? SHE PASSED THE TEST! OH MY GOSH SHE PASSED THE DAMN TEST, HOLY JESUS SHE PASSED THE TEST THANK THE LORD OH MY GOD! SHE WON! SHE W- Sorry. "I PASSED THE TEST!" Twilight exclaimed after bursting through the door. By showing that she would risk her own life for others instead of always thinking of herself, she passed. "We knew you could do it, Twilight!" Spike said. "Thanks, Spike." Twilight said. Anyways, Gohan had to have a private chat with the princesses. "Gohan, you are a graceful and humble warrior, and we are grateful you are protecting Equestria. However, Twilight needs to learn many things about friendship on her own. Especially in situations such as these." Celestia said. "Okay. So you're saying don't step in unless she can't do anything, and Equestria would be doomed, and everything?" Gohan asked. "Correct." Luna said. "Alright, I think I can handle that. Keeps the spotlight off of me! Heheh." Gohan joked. Celestia and Luna giggled. "You also seem to have a sense of humor..." They said. "Okay." Gohan said. *** "So? What was the meeting about?" The Mane 6 asked. "Oh, it was nothing. Just catching up." Gohan said. "That's a little strange, but okay." Twilight said. "Okay, back to the basic routine!" Gohan said, punching his own palm. And everything was normal again. Well, until the Season Three shenanigans appeared. Gohan's Life through Season 3 (Completely Revised)Season 3 was a real adventure for Gohan and the Mane 6. Before the event of Pinkie Pie's cloning, Gohan went to Zecora. *** "Beans of senzu? By all means, I am confused." Zecora said. "Here, let me show you." Gohan said, grabbing Zecora's book full of recipes. He flipped to the page of the senzu bean. He showed it to Zecora. "I see. You seek this bean?" Zecora said. "I'll even pay you, if that's what you want." Gohan said. "I believe that is reasonable." Zecora said. *** Gohan received the senzu beans, and went to Twilight's Treehouse. Well, to show her how the beans worked. "No way." Twilight said. "Yeah! Why don't I show you?" Gohan asked. "Fine." Twilight said. *** They were outside. Gohan removed his shirt. His body got him some stares. He was as buff as Bulk Biceps! Some ponies, like Twilight, found it difficult to look away. "Okay, now look." Gohan said. He aimed his hand at his stomach. "Don't mind this, just wait." He said. He blasted himself in the stomach! It penetrated him. Well, he overdid it, because he ended up coughing blood. In fact, you could see through the hole. "GOHAN! WHAT THE HECK!" Twilight asked. "Okay, I-I-I think I destroyed a few arteries... Like the celiac artery..." Gohan said. "Why!?" Twilight asked. "And now for the bean..." Gohan said weakly. Then he coughed more blood. Gohan ate the senzu bean and was healed completely. His stomach just morphed back to it's original... stomach. "See?" Gohan asked. "That shouldn't be physically possible, but I stand corrected." Twilight said. *** That was real funny. Now, when the Pinkie Pies came... He dealt with them in a different manner. *** Gohan's gravity chamber was overrun with Pinkie Pies! They were all repeating: "Fun!" "Oh, what the heck!?" He asked. They were pressing all sorts of buttons, messing up the programming, and the machine itself was getting beaten up. "Stop!" Gohan yelled. No stopping. "STOP!" Gohan screamed. Nope. Gohan turned into a Super Saiyan. "Stop." He said, grimly. Everyone stopped. "Thank you! Now, can anyone explain what's going on?" Gohan asked. ... "...Fun?" One Pinkie asked. "Fun!" They all said. Ah, damn it. Back to the jumping around. "Darn it!" Gohan said. He instantly chopped a pressure point on the backs of every Pinkies' neck. It's like time stopped for a moment. Until every Pinkie started falling one by one. "Okay... Now to figure this out." Gohan said to himself. *** Well, he couldn't figure it out. So he decided to go to Twilight if she knew. Gohan held a freaking ball of unconscious Pinkie Pies over his head on his way to Ponyville. You have no idea what kind of math he did to make sure they didn't just fall off. He calculated that he needed to hold them up at an approximate angle of 85 degrees while the Pinkies keeping all the Pinkies in had to refrain from moving in the slightest. So he had to take it nice and slow. ... 'This is difficult...' He thought. *** So, as it turns out, there are a lot more Pinkie Pie clones than you would've expected. Everyone in Ponyville is pissed off. Even Fluttershy was noticeably pissed off. The Real Pinkie couldn't even tell if she was the real one, and she just regretted making her clones. So the other ponies gathered in front of Twilight's home for some random reason. What is she, a princess? Uh... Anyway. Yeah, so, everyone is pissed off and they went to Twilight about it. "Okay, everypony, please, calm down!" She pleaded. "Calm down? I just had a Pinkie HURRICANE raging through my shop!" Rarity yelled. "And they trashed our critter picnic!" Fluttershy said. Damn, everyone had a complaint. Twilight couldn't think of any solution on the spot. ...And then there was a giant ball of Pinkie Pies slowly coming the ponies' way. "Remain calm!" Gohan yelled. Everyone noticed the Pinkies, and were about to panic. "These are only unconscious Pinkie Pies! I'm probably just as confused as you are!" He yelled. He finally managed to bring it down next to Twilight. His landing caused a slight shift, and the ball let loose, making a bunch of unconscious Pinkies fall on top of Gohan. The ones who did land on Gohan just bounced off. "...Huh." He said. "W-Why did you bring this...?" Twilight asked. "Anyway, I'm late to the game, does anyone know what's happening?" Gohan asked. "Well, other than the fact that there are approximately hundreds of Pinkie Pies roaming." He added. "They're ruining everything!" Everyone yelled at him. Jesus, they yelled it so loudly that his hair flew back for a moment. "...Other than that, too." Gohan said. "I don't know!" Twilight said. "Please, everypony, hang on while I try to figure something out!" She called to the ponies, opening her door. "Come on, Spike. I've gotta try to remember the name of that legend she mentioned." She whispered as Spike ran in. "Wait, what?" Gohan asked, running in. Twilight just groaned. "I'll let you in, but close the door!" She yelled. "Okay...! Sorry..." Gohan said, closing the door. "Anyway, what's this 'legend' you speak of?" He asked. "I don't know, Pinkie told me about it, but I can't remember!" Twilight said. Spike was already looking through the books. "Does it have anything to do with cloning?" Gohan asked. "That's exactly what it does." Twilight said. "Then I'm on it!" Gohan said, saluting before darting through the library. He was checking each book as fast as he could. Spike groaned as he just looked through his shelf. "I'll never find that- Huh?" He asked, finding a horseshoe button? At the back of a shelf? "Did you find something?" Twilight asked. Spike pressed the button, which opened a compartment for another book. He pulled it out, only for Twilight to take it with her magic. Gohan stopped his search. "Did you find it?" He asked, holding a few books about clones. "Aha! Here it is! The legend of the Mirror Pond..." Twilight said. "Oh. I'll just put these back, then." Gohan said, doing just that. "It describes a spell I can use to send them back where they came from!" Twilight said. "That's perfect! Let's go!" Spike said. "But how do we know which Pinkie is the real Pinkie?" Gohan asked. "That's the catch... We don't want to send her back by accident." Twilight said. "Well, we'll just have to figure out who the real one is then. Shouldn't be too hard." Spike said. "Spike. They're exact mirror copies of Pinkie. It's near impossible to find the real one, because they'll all probably just say that they're the real one." Gohan said. "You never know if they'll be honest." Spike said. "It's worth a try." Gohan said. *** They went outside, and tried it out. Well, it's as follows. "I'm the real Pinkie!" "No you're not, I'm the real Pinkie!" "Nuh-uh! I'm the real Pinkie!" ~~"Fuck you, you are! I'm the real Pinkie!"~~ "You lying sacks of lies! I am!" "No, I am!" "Is that a challenge?" "Bet you're not as real as me!" ~~"Oh, it's on, asshole!"~~ And so forth. It's endless. All the Pinkies, even the previously unconscious ones were jumping around town. They gathered to compete in the 'Who's the real Pinkie?' Competition. "This was a horrible plan." Gohan said. "Agreed." Twilight said. "How in tarnation are we supposed to tell which is the real Pinkie?" Applejack asked. "I don't know." Twilight said worriedly. "Me either." Possibly the real Pinkie said. "Ohh... We've all got the same adorable tails, we've all got the same adorable manes, we've all got the same adorable hooves! Which one of us IS the real Pinkie!? Oh! I haven't the slightest clue! And if I can't tell us apart... WHO CAN!?" She yelled. She started crying. "...Pinkie doesn't really utilize an expanded vocabulary, does she?" Gohan asked. Translation: She doesn't use big words, does she? "Nope! I only know the same words I know since I was a filly!" Pinkie said, suddenly snapping out from her crying. "We need a game plan." Gohan said. "A test?" Pinkie asked. ... "...Elaborate." Twilight said. "Pick something really hard for a Pinkie to do, something not fun at all! Any Pinkie that can't do it goes back into the pond. But whoever wants to stay the most, that must be the real Pinkie!" Pinkie said. "I can't see this working." Gohan said. "You know, that's not a bad idea." Twilight said. "What?" Gohan asked. "The real Pinkie has unlimited tenacity, and she gets things done. From the way the clones act, they don't have much of an attention span." Twilight said. "Well, I suppose..." Gohan said. "We need to come up with a test. Gohan, you're coming with me!" Twilight said, running back into her house. "Do I have a choice?" Gohan asked, slowly following her. *** "We have the test!" Twilight said. "Now go round them up! But don't make them unconscious, that'll screw up the plan." Twilight said. *** Well, test time. Gohan finally managed to get every single Pinkie Pie roaming about into the boutique. Using tricks, lies and... Well, for the extreme measures, he had to just use force. The rest of the Mane 6 were there, spectating. Problem is, the Pinkies can't calm down. They're just jumping all over the place in this empty room. Except for one. She's just sitting there, sad. Twilight came up to the stage. "Welcome, Pinkies, welcome. Please have a seat and make yourselves comfortable." She called. ...Nope. "Okay, I suppose you can't be comfortable staying in one place, but have a seat anyway." Twilight said. ... "Sit down!" She yelled. They ain't listening. Gohan took it upon himself to do it. So he got up on stage. Then he went Super Saiyan. "Sit down. NOW." He said. They all sat down. "Better. Now, I suppose you're all wondering why I had Gohan over here forcibly make you gather here today." Twilight said. "For fun?" A Pinkie asked. "No, just the opposite actually." Twilight said. "What!?" They all yelled. They looked angry, and ready to fight! ...Until they saw Gohan make his aura flare. They sat down again. "Pinkies, you've been brought here to take a test." Twilight said. They all groaned in unison. "Don't worry, it's a simple test, about as simple as they come, and whoever passes gets to stay." Twilight said. So all the Pinkies liked the sound of that. "Curtain, please." She said. Spike pulled the rope, and the test was revealed to be a wall of recently painted paint. "The test... will be watching paint dry!" Twilight said. Now there were boos again. Gohan gave the death stare, and they piped down once more. "On your mark, get set, go!" Twilight said. They all stared at the wall. "Oh, this is so exciting!" Spike said, grabbing some popcorn and a chair. *** "Okay, maybe not that exciting." He said. Nothing was happening. Fucking NOTHING. ...Oh, there we go! It took a long time, but eventually, each Pinkie was going down one by one. By losing focus because of many things. Like birds, boredness, wanting to jump and touch the ceiling, wanting to watch that happen, orange frogs, making fingers appear on hooves, watching that happen, making a face that resembled G3, watching that, and countless other things. Twilight was so burned out, that Gohan just destroyed a few of them with ki. First time he did that, the Mane 6 gasped! "What?" Gohan asked. Then he realized. "Don't worry, they're not real. There's no blood when that happens." He said. So now we're down to two fucking competitors! ...They're taking so goddamn long. I can't take it anymore! Someone just end the thing already! Well, Rainbow Dash had enough as well, so... "Somepony's making balloon animals!" She said. The faker stopped to look! "What? Where?" She asked. And then it's over. The last Pinkie clone is gone. The real Pinkie (we think) is the winner...! ...She's still looking at the paint. "You can look away, Pinkie." Twilight said. "I passed?" Pinkie asked. "You passed. You're the only Pinkie who kept staring at the wall." Twilight said. "Only the real Pinkie has that much of an attention span." Gohan said, still a Super Saiyan for some reason. "I'm me! I'm me! YAY!" Pinkie cheered, jumping in the air. *** That was just fokin great. Let's move on. Gohan helped the Cutie Mark Crusaders with their float. ...And with family relations. *** The Cutie Mark Crusaders were desperate to impress Applebloom's cousin, Babs Seed. She was from Manehattan! I don't know, I've been to Manhattan and it kinda sucks. Probably because I had to go there a lot. Damn you, life! Unrelated. Sorry. Anyway, they tried impressing her with the CMC Clubhouse and failed miserably... So they decided to impress her with the float they have Gohan making for the Summer Harvest Parade. *** Gohan was working on the trio's pumpkin float for the parade in the barn. It's because he's the super nerd hero. He knew all the blueprints, tools and resources necessary. The Crusaders just don't do math very often. ~~I love math. My favorite subject.~~ He was just about done. The trio had Babs Seed go to the barn where Gohan had been working. "Here it is! The official Cutie Mark Crusaders float for the Summer Harvest Parade!" Applebloom said, showing the nearly finished work of art. Gohan was just about to put a wheel on the float. "Hey you guys! Who's your friend?" Gohan asked. Babs Seed looked at Gohan with a confused look on her face. "What is that?" Babs asked. "I'm Gohan." Gohan said. "Yes, he's our friend. He helped build this!" Applebloom said. "As a member of the Cutie Mark Crusaders, you can ride with us, Babs!" Scootaloo said, flapping her wings in excitement. Babs Seed chuckled awkwardly. "More like FUNNY!" Diamond Tiara said. Gohan face palmed when he heard that. "Both of you, just leave us alone please? And can you stop calling me an ape?" Gohan asked. Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon appeared. "Well sorry, MONKEY!" Diamond Tiara said, and the two laughed. Gohan and the trio looked at them with death stares. "What is that thing? A giant orange?" Silver Spoon asked, trotting up to the float with Diamond Tiara before laughing. "It's a pumpkin. Wow, I expected fifth graders to be smart, not blind." Gohan said. "Whatever. More like a lamekin." Diamond Tiara said before they laughed again. "What an insult. We are truly hurt by a word that doesn't exist." Gohan said sarcastically. "Who's the new blank flank?" She asked, referring to Babs Seed. Babs hid her flank with her tail in embarrassment. "She's my cousin, Babs. She's from Manehattan." Applebloom said. "Oh. Nice to meet you Babs." Gohan said, waving. Babs still looked confused at him. "Manehattan, huh? Well, I guess you have that going for you." Diamond Tiara said. "I suppose you're going to join their little club? What's it called? The Cutie Mark Crusaders?" Silver Spoon mocked. "Can't you be nice to them? I mean, being a blank flank doesn't mean anything. It just means they have hidden potential." Gohan defended. "Coming from a blank flank." Diamond Tiara said before they laughed again. "I don't have the body of a pony, so I am not able to receive a Cutie Mark." Gohan said. "But I do know potential." He added. "Whatever, ape. Anyway, what'll you do, Manehattan mare?" Diamond Tiara asked. Babs Seed had to decide between her cousin or these new ponies. And the hero of the place. So... She blew her Mane out of her face. "More like the Cutie Mark Crybabies!" Babs said, walking to the duo. Gasp! "Babs! Don't be so mean to your cousin!" Gohan said. "Who are you to tell me, ape?" Babs asked. "Getting a million Frieza vibes from you, GOSH." Gohan mumbled like an edgy teen. "Ooh, big city attitude. I like it." Diamond Tiara asked. "Oh yeah? Well there's more where that came from. Check this out." Babs said, kicking and breaking the emergency brake. Also known as the piece of wood that kept the float from rolling down a hill? Le gasp! "Oh, no she didn't!" Scootaloo said with some sass. Snickers and laughs from our two most hated fillies in the room... "No! Darn it!" Gohan said, running beside it. "What's wrong? How's that feel?" Babs asked. "I didn't add the steel to sustain the movement yet, and you had to destroy the emergency break, darn it!" Gohan yelled. Well, nobody knew what the fuck he was saying. "How could you do that? That's just mean!" Gohan said. They didn't care. Babs just shrugged. The pumpkin lost it's base because of the lack of an emergency break, and started rolling down the hill. More laughing. "I got this!" Gohan yelled, running after it. Damn, it started chipping away, and some of the wood broke apart. He quickly ran past it, only to hold his hands out to stop it. Problem is, now there are two holes in the float. Gohan groaned. Nonetheless, he took his hands out and lifted it up. "What are you guys doing!?" He asked. Now everyone was shocked to see him lifting a FUCKING FLOAT UP! Sorry. "Someone could've been seriously hurt!" He yelled. Applebloom was furious. "When I tell Applejack-" "When you tell Applejack what?" Babs asked, closing the gap between her and Applebloom. "What are you, a snitch?" Babs asked. Gohan set the pumpkin back where it was so that it wouldn't roll again. "There's a difference between a snitch and telling on a bully." Gohan said. "And what would you know!?" Babs retorted. "What would I know? You're being a huge jerk, and you're acting very disrespectful to your cousin." Gohan said. "Sorry, I didn't think crybabies deserve any respect! Hah!" Babs mocked. More laughs. He had enough. In a short fit of rage, Gohan turned into a Super Saiyan, completely confusing the three jerks. He slowly walked up to Babs. "Now listen here, you ignorant little filly. When you respect other ponies, they respect you back. If you can't be bothered to respect your cousin, or her friends, then please, kindly leave her alone. You got that?" He asked in a scary yet low voice. He was towering over Babs. ... ...No response. Too scared. "Answer the question!" Gohan yelled on impulse. He didn't mean to, he got angry for his friends. ... "Wow, he loses his temper like an ape too!" Diamond Tiara said, before the three laughed. "Yeah, I got it, monkey." Babs mocked. "Come on, Babs. You should hang with us. You know, the cool ponies! Not these babies!" Diamond Tiara said, as the three trotted away. Applebloom was shocked. ... "What... Just happened?" She asked. "I think she just turned to the dark side." Scootaloo said. "Your cousin showed up, the bullies showed up, made her into a complete jerk, she tried to destroy your float and your cousin happens to not like you, Applebloom." Gohan said. "We know." Applebloom said. "Oh. Then why'd you ask the question...? Nevermind. I'm sorry I lost my temper." Gohan said. Applebloom was devastated. "We have to tell Applejack!" Sweetie Belle said. "No! We can't be snitches!" Applebloom said. "But that's totally irresponsible. If your own family member is bullying you like that, then you really need to tell Applejack. Or someone else." Gohan said. "But I don't wanna be a snitch..." Applebloom said. "And we don't want to be babies!" Scootaloo said, standing on her backhooves and crossing her forehooves. "...Then why do I feel like crying?" Sweetie Belle asked. 'Ugh....' Gohan thought. "Is the float okay?" Scootaloo asked. "Er..." Gohan responded, scanning the float. "It's received heavy internal damage, so it won't be able hold more than one filly. I already did the exterior designs, so we'd have to pick it apart just to fix what's inside." He said. "Oh, man! I can't believe she ruined our float!" Scootaloo said angrily. "I can't believe I'm related to a big stinkin' bully!" Applebloom said angrily. "What are we going to do?" Sweetie Belle asked. "Should we build a new float?" Applebloom asked. Gohan tried looking at the interior through the holes he made in the float. "...Yeah, we need a new one." He said. "But she'll probably break that one, too." Scootaloo said. "Well, do you want to participate in the parade?" Gohan asked. "I really don't mind making another float." He said. "We do, but we don't want her to destroy it!" Applebloom said. "Then you need to resolve your family matters..." Gohan said, just reminding himself of his own family matters. '...I miss mom.' He thought. "But we don't want to be snitches!" Scootaloo said. Gohan sighed. "You'll have to figure this out on your own. Once you know what you want to do, let me know if we're making the float again." He said. *** Yeah, so... Babs and her new friends were bullying the hell outta the Crusaders. Stealing their milkshakes, scaring them, and overall mocking them. They grew scared of them, damn. Especially Babs, for some reason. It's like they had to have eyes in the back of their heads just to make sure they weren't there. But they still got pranked. ~~"It's just a prank, bro."~~ After a very long day, our trio were convinced that the others would run them out of town. I mean, Applebloom went through torture at home. They were walking towards their clubhouse, since that's the only safe place they know of. "Babs may have run us out of town, but at least we still have the club...house?" Applebloom asked. Well, Babs was at the balcony of the clubhouse already. And she noticed the Crusaders. "Hey! What're you doing at MY clubhouse?" She sneered. "Y-Y-Your clubhouse!?" Scootaloo asked angrily. "It's OUR clubhouse!" The Crusaders said. "Well, it WAS yours, but now it's MINE!" Babs sneered. "And mine!" Diamond Tiara sneered, appearing beside Babs. "And mine!" Silver Spoon sneered, doing the same thing. Applebloom was heartbroken. "That's not fair, Babs! We never did anything to you!" She said. "And let's keep it that way. Now scram, crybabies!" Babs yelled, destroying the only means of getting up to the clubhouse and out. I think she trapped herself without realizing it. The three bullies all giggled and went inside. Sweetie Belle was on the verge of crying. "Don't cry... This is the one thing they CAN'T take away from us." Applebloom said. "How!?" Scootaloo asked. "Let's get our other friend..." Applebloom said with a devilish smirk. *** The Crusaders returned to their clubhouse with a special friend of theirs. The only nerdy Saiyan. Our bullies all got on the balcony again. "Great, now they brought the ape." Diamond Tiara said with a small voice. They all laughed with each other with that comment. "Hey! I take offense to that!" Gohan yelled. "How did you even hear them?" Scootaloo asked. "What do you want, crybabies!?" Babs yelled. "My friends want their clubhouse back!" Gohan yelled. Then Applebloom whispered some stuff in his ear. "And for you to stop bullying them!" Gohan added. Those bullies all laughed again. "And what are YOU gonna do about it, huh?" Babs sneered. "Well, first off, try to resolve the issue without any sort of violence. Now, can we all respect each other and get along?" Gohan asked. "I don't think they deserve it!" Silver Spoon sneered. "Then you don't deserve anyone else's respect. I'm going to come up there if you don't give it back!" Gohan yelled. "Hah! Like you could get up here!" Babs sneered. Gohan jumped high into the sky, and landed in front of our bullies. He gave them extreme death stares. They all just stared back at him, with scared looks. ... Eventually they started sweating. ... 'Extreme measures.' Gohan thought. He got into a fighting pose and turned into a Super Saiyan with a glaring aura. Babs pulled a rope to create some sort of slide off the remaining stairs and they ~~made like the UK, and BREXITED THAT SHIT~~ got the heck outta there. They ran right past the Crusaders, and now they knew how the Crusaders felt. "Sweet revenge...!" Scootaloo whispered. "That actually felt great!" Applebloom said. "That wasn't great at all!" Gohan called. He wasn't a Super Saiyan now. "You still haven't made up. That's an unhealthy relationship." He said. "I know... But she's just so rotten!" Applebloom said. "I can relate, but revenge isn't the answer." Gohan said. He jumped down to that makeshift slide. "Anyway, we have to fix up the stairs." He said. "And how do we do that...?" Applebloom asked. "Actually, just let me handle that. You can go on and do whatever." Gohan said, walking up to a dying tree. Well, let's just say he was starting to recreate the stairs. So he wasn't paying attention. "That was a close one." Scootaloo said. "Yeah. Being kicked out of our own clubhouse would be too much." Sweetie Belle said. "It's already too much for me, she stole my bed!" Applebloom said. "Seriously?" Scootaloo asked. "Super-Seriously." Applebloom said. "Then you need to talk to Applejack!" Sweetie Belle said. "No!" Applebloom instantly responded. "Rarity...?" Sweetie Belle asked. "No!" Again. "Twilight...?" Sweetie Belle asked. "No, no, no!" Applebloom said. "Goha- Wait a minute." Sweetie Belle said. "No, we need to fight back!" Applebloom said. "Yeah!... How are we gonna do that?" Scootaloo asked. Applebloom thought about it for a moment, then she had it. "By makin' her the guest of honor at the Summer Harvest Parade!" She said. "Yeah! Wait, what?" Scootaloo asked. Applebloom did a little evil chuckle. "When you look up 'embarrassed' in the dictionary..." She whispered. "Her face will be there!" She whispered. "But how are we going to do that?" Scootaloo asked. "We have our builder, we just need to booby trap it!" Applebloom said. "But isn't that wrong...?" Sweetie Belle asked. "She deserves it! Besides, she'll keep ruining our lives if we don't show her who's boss!" Applebloom said. "Hey!" She called to Gohan. "Sorry! I just need to get some nails for the stairs! Be right back!" Gohan said, about to fly off. "Wait!" Applebloom said. "Hold up!" Scootaloo said. Gohan stopped before he flew. "We'd like you to, um... Make the float... Again." Applebloom said. ... "Okay." Gohan said. "But we want it to be a giant Apple this time!" Applebloom said. "Uh... Sure. What made you change your mind?" Gohan asked. "Are you going to make up with your cousin with it?" He asked. Applebloom giggled. "She'll see..." She said with an evil face and a few sinister laughs. ... "...It's for revenge, isn't it." Gohan said. "W-What? No!" Applebloom lied. "Lying won't help. I'm not making a float so you could smash it into her or something." Gohan said. "Well, we had something else in mind." Scootaloo said. "Unless it's not for revenge, no way." Gohan said. "Fine... It won't be for revenge." Applebloom said. "Are you SURE now?" Gohan asked. "Yeah... I'll tell Applejack and try to fix it..." Applebloom said. Gohan smiled. "There you go, now we got it. I'll get that float done after this." He said. Then he flew off to get some nails. ... "...You're not really going to do that, right?" Scootaloo asked. "Nope." Applebloom said. *** Well, the whole float making process is happening. "Emergency brake... Check. Steering mechanism... Check. Fuel tank... Check." Yadda yadda. It was finally done, a giant apple! 'Two floats, Kami.' Gohan thought. So he got our riders to look at it. Who happened to be carrying saddlebags. "Is that what you wanted...?" He asked. "This is perfect!" Applebloom said. "Thanks so much!" Sweetie Belle said. "It's totally awesome!" Scootaloo said. "Can we make a few teensy tiny edits?" Applebloom asked. "Uh... Sure. What kind of edits?" Gohan asked. "Oh, we just want to change the apple color." Sweetie Belle said. "What's wrong with this one?" Gohan asked. "It's green." Scootaloo said. "You don't like green?" Gohan asked. "Well, it's not that, we prefer a different color." Applebloom said. "Oh. Okay. Go nuts, just make sure you don't put a dent in it." Gohan said, walking away. "Thanks!" The trio yelled. "Happy to help!" Gohan yelled. ... "Okay, did y'all bring the stuff?" Applebloom asked. *** Our Prankster Crusaders had trouble with the booby traps, but nonetheless, got it done. Problem: The blueprints. Our three were trying to see the interior of the float through the blueprints, but... "What's a 'mechanism?'" Applebloom asked. "What's a 'flux capacitor?'" Scootaloo asked. "What's an 'interior?'" Sweetie Belle asked. "How are we gonna do anything if we can't read this?" Scootaloo asked. "Let's just build our traps around his big words... We have to just stop the steering wheel and the brakes at the right time." Applebloom said. Well, they finally did it. By the crack of dawn. "Is... Is this it...?" Sweetie Belle asked. She had bags under her eyes. So did the other two. The float was a giant golden apple with a booby trap set inside it to stop the steering and the brakes. Including that emergency break. The trap was a kitchen timer. "I think... we're a go." Scootaloo said. "Good, 'cause we'd better get out of here before Babs finds us." Sweetie Belle said. They all did a tired threeway high five. *** Well, parade time. There was a road paved for the floats, but the ones who aren't participating are left to be on the side of that road. Gohan was just making sure there was nothing wrong with the exterior of the float... Nonetheless, he was pretty surprised that they got this to become so shiny golden. "I'm impressed. Well, have fun, you three." He said, walking away, into the crowd. "Thanks!" The trio said again. They giggled sinisterly... Meanwhile, our three little bullies happened to be walking about, and noticed how amazing the Crusaders' float was. "Whoa...!" Babs said. She was flabbergasted. Well, Sweetie Belle noticed them noticing the float. "Isn't it smashing?" She asked. Then the other two looked at her as if she actually revealed something. "No! I-I didn't mean smashing! I mean... Isn't it a hit? No! No, I- No! No hitting! I meant– Ugh..." Yeah, Sweetie Belle gave up. Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon just left, they didn't care. Babs remained. Scootaloo rushed to her. "Well, don't even THINK about riding it, Babs!" She said. She winked at her fellow Crusaders. Sweetie Belle was looking into space. Applebloom nudged her. Sweetie Belle then jumped into the float to start the engine. Vroom vroom, anyone? Sweetie Belle then started the timer... For some reason, Applebloom decided to drag a mattress to beside the float. The two winked back. "You had your chance." Scootaloo taunted. Babs looked over to her fellow bullies, who obviously didn't care whatsoever. But she wanted to impress them, so... She rammed into the Crusaders, shoving them out of the way. And onto that mattress. She opened the door. "See ya later, Cutie Mark Crybabies!" She yelled, shutting the door. Then she was off. "The timer set?" Applebloom asked. Wink wink. They got up from the mattress. "Teach her to fool with the Cutie Mark Crusaders!" Sweetie Belle said. ...Then Applejack happened to be by, holding three balloons. She also happened to miss that entire interaction. "Y'all are letting Babs ride in your golden apple float?" She asked. "Yeah. We thought she deserved to be the... center of attention." Applebloom said. The Crusaders all giggled sinisterly... But Applejack couldn't notice the evil. "Well, that's just super sweet of y'all, makin' Babs feel so special. Y'know, after all the heartache she's been havin' in Manehattan." Applejack said. Then the Crusaders felt a little bad and confused. "Heartache?" Applebloom asked. "Well, I didn't say nothin' 'cause I didn't want her to feel singled out, but there's been some bullies back in Manehattan just been teasin' her to pieces for her blank flank." Applejack said. "T-teased?" Applebloom asked. "B-Bullied!?" Sweetie Belle asked. Now our trio felt devastated. "Yup. She came up to the farm to get away from all her problems back home." Applejack said. She hooved the balloons over to the trio. "I'm so proud of y'all. You've done a good deed." She said, walking away. Those balloons deflated somehow. "So that's why she jumped in when Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon started giving us a hard time!" Scootaloo said. "She didn't want to be bullied like at home, so she decided to BE a bully instead!" Applebloom said. "And now we've turned into bullies too!" Sweetie Belle said. "What do we do!?" The Crusaders all asked. ... "We have to tell somepony." Sweetie Belle said. "Applejack?" Applebloom asked. "I think Gohan." Scootaloo said. "We don't have time to find them, we just have to get Babs outta that float!" Applebloom said. Well, let's cut to Babs. She caught up to Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon with her stolen float. "Nice float, Babs." Diamond Tiara said. "Snagged it from those whiny baby blank flanks." Babs said. "Too cool for mule, Babs." Diamond Tiara said. Now our Crusaders were running after the float. "We gotta stop that float!" She yelled. Well, the parade's happening, and our main cast were looking at it. With Gohan eating a crepe and noticing something. 'Wait... Babs is in the float, but my friends are- Sweet Kami.' He thought. He completely ate the crepe before wiping his mouth and jumping up. High. "Uh... Why is he jumping?" Twilight asked. "Beats me." Rainbow Dash said. "You'll understand soon!" Gohan called. "I guess that's that." Fluttershy said. There's about half a minute left before the brakes and the steering gets stopped. Our Crusaders were trying to catch up, and they were right behind the golden apple float. They just couldn't get to the side or anything. Then they noticed Gohan jump on top of the float. "Hey- What in tarnation is he doing!?" Applejack asked. "He noticed." Scootaloo said. "Gohan!" Applebloom yelled. "I'll get your float back for you, just hold on!" Gohan said. "No, we rigged it!" Sweetie Belle said. Well, Gohan was long gone. Babs was waving at the masses of ponies... And then an upside down Gohan just appeared outside her viewing space. There are no windshields. ~~"Hey kid! Want to see a dead body?"~~ "Dah!" She yelled in surprise. "Hello there, Babs." Gohan said grimly. "What kind of voodoo is this...?" Babs asked. "I'm going to ask you to give this back to my friends. I worked really hard on this contraption." Gohan said. The Crusaders finally got to the side of the float. 10 seconds... They were nearing a cliff, which, if anyone was to fall off of, they'd land in a mud pile. That's the plan for Babs to embarrass her. "Gohan, Babs!" Applebloom yelled. "Don't worry, I'm getting the float back." Gohan said. "Yeah, right, like I'm gonna hand this back over to the crybabies!" Babs said. "No, you don't understand!" Scootaloo said. "Babs! You gotta get out of that float!" Applebloom said. "Why should I, huh?" Babs asked. "It's booby trapped!" Scootaloo said. "What!?" Gohan asked. "Yeah, right." Babs said. Then the timer went off. The steering wheel was locked in place, and the brakes were completely nulled. "What did you do!?" Gohan asked, not being upside down anymore. "We jammed the brakes and the steering!" Sweetie Belle said. Babs tried grabbing hold of the steering wheel, but it was jammed. Brakes were jammed as well. The Crusaders all acted on instinct to jump into the float. They were right at the edge. "What are you doing here!?" Babs asked. "Saving my-" Applebloom said, before the float suddenly stopped. Gohan pushed the float back, just so it wouldn't fall off the edge. He stood on the ground again. The four fillies all looked outside. Babs was surprised. "You were trying to save me? After all I've done to you?" She asked. "Well..." Applebloom said, before- "Hey! Move the float!" Pinkie yelled from behind. She was in a lettuce float (literally.) "Sorry!" Gohan yelled. He lifted the float up. Big mistake, because there was no windshield for the fillies to be saved by. They fell through that tiny hole to see through. "Crapbaskets..." Gohan said. He threw the float aside, where it wouldn't be in anyone's way. Damn, it's ruined. 'I worked so hard on that... Oh well.' Gohan thought. He jumped and dived down for the screaming girls. There was no way he could hold them all at once, but he could have them on top of him all at once... Confusing? You'll figure it out. 'Steady, steady...!' He thought. He zoomed down, and...! The four fillies were all right! And happened to be sitting at the exact same heights. They stopped screaming and realized they were okay. "Uh... What happened?" Applebloom asked. They all looked down and realized that they were all sitting on Gohan's head, back and legs. He strained really hard to keep the position. Sweetie Belle ended up sitting on his head, Scootaloo sat on the back, and Applebloom and Babs ended up on the legs. "P-Please... Do NOT move a muscle..." Gohan said with a strained voice. He slowly flew back to the top of the cliff. "I don't understand what's happening anymore..." Babs said. "Actually, we're pretty confused as well." Applebloom said. 'Steady... Steady...' He thought. He barely got over the cliff... He slowly fell down to the ground, where he very slowly fell flat on his face. "You caa ge off now." He said in a muffled voice. The fillies all got off him. The Mane 6, excluding Pinkie, as well as Spike rushed to them. "What in tarnation were you doing, Gohan!?" Applejack asked, clearly angry. Gohan pushed himself up. "I'll admit, when I moved the float, that was entirely my fault..." He said, standing up. "But there's more to this than I thought." He added. "What!?" Applejack asked. "Are y'all fillies all right?" She asked. "Yeah... We're fine." Scootaloo said. "Why did you save me?" Babs asked Gohan. "I think we all tried." Gohan said. "Well, yeah, but why?" Babs asked. "Babs, you should know..." Applebloom said. "We were the reason it was headed into the lake." Scootaloo said. Our Crusaders all looked saddened. "What?" Applejack asked. "We booby trapped the float." Sweetie Belle said. "Y'see Babs, we were tryin' to get you back for bein' a big bully..." Applebloom said. "But then Applejack told us about how you were being bullied back in Manehattan." Scootaloo said. "And we figured out you were just doing it to avoid getting picked on in Ponyville. But, by then... we were the ones being bullies. And... Oh, why does life have to be so ironic!?" Sweetie Belle asked. "I guess what we're trying to say is..." Applebloom said. "We're sorry." All the Crusaders said. Babs blew her mane out from her eyes. "I'm sorry too." She said. "In hindsight, I'm partially responsible for this." Gohan said. "So I'm sorry too." He said. "What did you do?" Applejack asked. "I made the float again. I knew that they wanted revenge, but I didn't expect them to actually make such booby traps. Stopping the brakes like that is impressive..." Gohan said. ... "Y'know..." Applejack said, cutting the silence. "This all could've been avoided if y'all just came to me in the very beginning." She said. "I said that. But someone decided to lie." Gohan said, looking at Applebloom. "Yeah..." Applebloom said. Babs felt horrible for driving them to attempt this. "So... can we... start over?" She asked. "Definitely!" Applebloom instantly said. *** That was fun. And then Trixie's return was just hilarious. Hilariously awful. *** Let's go over this. A hooded pony went to a store on a dark and stormy night. In search of something... This particular store had something this pony desired... It was also a mess of collector's items. The hooded one was rummaging through the stuff, but ultimately couldn't find what she was looking for. But then, a light shone. A lamp. The shopkeeper was there, wearing some sort of monk's gear. Looking at his magnifying glass and potion bottle cutie mark, you could tell he was a man of science. He had tiny Harry Potter spectacles with a yellow hue in his pupils. "May I help you, traveler?" He asked. The hooded one walked out to the counter. "Hmm, something drew you to my shop... something powerful." The shopkeeper said. The hooded pony pointed a hoof at something. "Ah, you have a keen eye. The Alicorn Amulet is one of the most mysterious and powerful of all the known magical charms." The shopkeeper said. The hooded pony sign language demanded the amulet. "Uh, ah- I'm afraid this is... far too dangerous." The shopkeeper said. Then a big bag of bits was thrown on the counter. ... "Would you like that gift-wrapped?" He asked. *** Well, another day. Twilight wanted to practice a new spell on Fluttershy's animals... Not to change them in any way, or harm them, of course. But Fluttershy was still paranoid Twilight would mess up. Despite Twilight and Spike's best efforts to convince her not to worry, she still was paranoid. So she requested that Gohan would be there to make sure nothing bad would happen... Everyone was outside Fluttershy's cottage, including all sorts of little woodland critters. "Don't be scared, little friends. Twilight is wonderful with magic." Fluttershy said to her animals... ...But then she ran right up to Twilight. "Anything happens to them, Twilight, so help me..." She threatened... Then Spike broke it up. "Aww, don't worry, Fluttershy, Twilight's magic has gotten a lot better since she accidentally crushed me and Applejack with a giant snowball." Spike said. Twilight blushed at that notion. "Yeah, her magical power has also increased exponentially." Gohan said. "Color me impressed, you're gaining a lot of power that I wouldn't be surprised if you were alicorn level." He added. "Thanks..." Twilight said. "You're not alicorn level yet, but at this rate, you'll get there. You're a very strong unicorn, magicwise." Gohan said. "Of course she's good with magic." Fluttershy said. "Twilight's great with magic. I guess I just don't want my little friends to be scared. Oh, oh, look how scared they are!" She said... ...Her little friends were excited. "I promise, Fluttershy. Nothing bad will happen to them." Twilight said. "I know!" Fluttershy said, high pitched. She's sweating bullets, jeez. "Don't worry, if any of them even gets a cut, we have these." Gohan said, patting his senzu bean sack, tied to his belt. Twilight put the critter in her magic and- "Stop, stop! They can't take it!" Fluttershy said, covering her eyes. Twilight didn't even fucking move them. Nonetheless, she continued. She started making the critters fly up, in a big circle. They were all cheering and laughing. Then she skewed them a little bit... Fluttershy was biting her hooves... Fingernails? Hoofnails? Do horses have nails? They were shaped like fingernails, so... I don't know. Twilight managed to get the critters flying around in a perfect infinity loop. "Twilight, that looks amazing!" Spike said. "So precise...!" Gohan said. Then he felt a disturbance. 'What's that ki over there... Ah, it's probably nothing.' He thought. Twilight stopped the loop and placed the critters gently back onto the ground. "Phew!" She said, wiping some sweat off her face. All those critters rallied around her for another one! "That's all for now, little ones. Maybe we can practice again later, if Fluttershy says it's alright." Twilight said. Those critters then rushed to Fluttershy, who was still suffering from PTSD, begging her to let it happen again. "Your magic has really improved since we came to Ponyville, Twilight. Princess Celestia's going to love it." Spike said. Gohan felt yet another disturbance. 'That's strange... It's as if something were happening in Ponyville...' He thought. He looked uncharacteristically serious. "Thanks, Spike. I have to be at my best when she arrives with the delegates from Saddle Arabia. I can't believe she's trusting me with the entertainment." Twilight said. Then Rainbow Dash came out of nowhere, ramming into Twilight. Then both ended up on the ground. "Twilight! Come quick! It's an emergency!" She yelled. "I guess I was right...?" Gohan said to himself. *** In Ponyville, all the ponies were gathered around Rarity's boutique for some reason... Rarity was shot with some red magic, and now... ...She had a dress with some colors she didn't like? She gasped loudly! "You beast! This shade of brown should only be used for accents!" She said, fainting. Applejack used her back to catch Rarity. "Come on, Applejack. We've got to get her in a nice, soothing pink, stat!" Pinkie yelled. Those three were gone. And the cavalry just came walking in! Gohan and Twilight, yeah! "What's going on here?" Twilight asked. "Well, well, well. If it isn't..." The hooded pony said, revealing her hood. "Twilight Sparkle." Trixie said. With red pupils for a fraction of a second. Gasps! "Trixie!" Twilight said menacingly. "Trixie? I couldn't recognize you with this kind of dark power." Gohan said, not so menacingly. "Oh look, you brought the monkey this time." Trixie said. "What's she doing here...?" Spike asked. "You call THAT great and powerful?" Rainbow Dash asked, flying in the air. Trixie immediately shot her with red magic, and... Enlarged her right wing to monumental proportions. It was hard to maintain balance, so she started flying everywhere. "Oh! She's Rainbow Wobble, now!" Brown nosing Snips said. Rainbow Dash ended up crash landing on the ground. Le gasp! 'Where did she get this kind of power from...?' Gohan thought. "Good spell, oh Great and Powerful Trixie!" Snails said. "You two, BE QUIET!" Trixie yelled. She fired magic at THEM, and... Well, now Snips and Snails had their horns merged together. With Snips on top and Snails on the bottom... "Uh, hey! W-What happened?" Snips asked. "Ah! Get off of me!" Snails yelled, trying desperately to get Snips off. His shaking caused the audience to back off. They ended up swapping places and running back and forth like a bunch of dumbasses. "Stop picking on my friends, Trixie!" Twilight yelled. "You and I have some unfinished business. My magic's gotten better since I was here last. And I'm going to prove it! Me and you, a magic duel. Winner stays, loser leaves Ponyville FOREVER!" Trixie demanded. "Forget it! I'm never making a deal like that!" Twilight said. "I suggest you leave right now." Gohan said, holding a ki blast right at her. "...Before I start taking you seriously." He added. "Hmm. You embarrassed me as well. I suppose I could duel the both of you..." Trixie said. "That- That's incorrect." Gohan said, stopping the ki blast. "Huh?" Trixie asked. "That's incorrect. A duel is an arranged engagement in combat between two parties. There are three of us." Gohan said. "Spare me your grammatical nonsense!" Trixie yelled. "Actually, that-" "SILENCE!" Trixie interrupted Gohan. "Why are you even doing this!?" Twilight asked. "Why? Because you humiliated me! After you showed me up with that Ursa Minor, and after that monkey blasted the Ursa Major into the sky..." Trixie said. "I actually put it back where it belongs in space." Gohan said. "SHUT IT!" Trixie yelled. "I became a laughing stock! Everywhere I went I was laughed at and ostracized. I even had to take a job on a rock farm just to earn a living! A rock farm!" She yelled. "Hey!" Pinkie yelled. "You're lucky a rock farm would take the likes of you!" She yelled. Trixie made a computer mouse icon appear and a trash can. She grabbed Pinkie's mouth... Somehow... And pulled it off her face. She threw it into that trash can and now Pinkie can't talk. "Now I want REVENGE!" Trixie yelled. She fired magic towards Twilight's Treehouse... But Gohan chopped it and made it disappear. "I've had enough of your little tricks, Trixie." Gohan said. Then he quickly went to Twilight. "You want me to handle this? I don't think you can handle Celestia level power yet." Gohan said. "Uh... Sure, go for it." Twilight said. Gohan jumped away from Twilight. "If you want revenge so badly, why don't you try taking it out on me first?" He asked. He got into his fighting position. "Hmm. What a brave monkey. Take this!" Trixie yelled, firing a red blast at Gohan. Gohan stood casually tall and held his hand out. The blast clashed with his hand! ...Only to disintegrate because Gohan put some yellow ki there. Trixie was just flabbergasted. "W-What...!?" She asked. "I will admit, you've gained a lot of power in such a short time." Gohan said, putting his hand down. "B-But... How did you...? What!?" Trixie asked. "Trixie, do you happen to know Newton's Third Law?" Gohan asked. "Who's what?" Trixie asked. "The Third Law of Physics." Gohan said. "Uh... No, why?" Trixie said. "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Allow me to demonstrate..." Gohan said. He held his hands over his head, with one hand over the other. Yellow ki appeared in front of the hands. "Masenko..." He said. "HA!" He screamed. He fired that... Well, suppressed minor blast at Trixie. "Try all you want, it won't beat me!" Trixie yelled she began to charge her magic up. Gohan sped past her, and was right behind her. "I wasn't finished demonstrating." He said grimly. Trixie was startled, and looked behind her. ...Only to get roundhouse kicked right in the jaw! Trixie was sent flying at the blast... With the same amount of force. The two collided, and BOOM! Small explosion! Les gasps! Trixie flew out of the smoke, and landed a few feet away from the explosion. "...As you can see, I fired a ki blast. It pushed off of my hands, which corresponds to the Third Law of Physics. When I hit Trixie with approximately 250,000 newtons of force, her body received the reaction, and moved in the same direction. Both the ki blast and Trixie hit each other with the same amount of force. It just so happens that the ki blast blew up. If it were a ball with the same mass and weight as Trixie here, then we'd see them bounce off each other and move the same amount of distance opposite of the direction which they came in." Gohan explained thoroughly. ... Twilight clapped. "Perfect explanation!" She said. ... Trixie barely managed to get herself up. Her hood was a little torn, and she had some gunk. "Y-You...!" She said. "Trixie, I don't want to hurt you anymore." Gohan said. "I don't understand... How can a monkey beat the powers of the alicorn amulet...!?" Trixie said. "Alicorn amulet?" Twilight asked. "Alicorn amulet?" Gohan asked. "I think I've read about that somewhere... Spike?" Twilight asked. "I'm on it!" Spike said, running to the Treehouse library. "Trixie, just reverse all the chaos you've done. We'll heal you and you can be sent on your way." Gohan said. Trixie looked steaming angry. As if she would refuse... "If you don't, you'll end up killing yourself. I don't want that to happen." Gohan said. Trixie actually thought about it... But then her eyes glowed red for a split second. ... "No!" She yelled. Then there was a strong wind coming from her for a second. She had red lightning around her... 'That's not good.' Gohan thought. Her power increased with her corrupted rage. Trixie charged some crimson red magic with her horn. It was very intense. Her hood looked as if it would blow right off any minute. Twilight knew what to do now. "Everypony, get out! Just to be safe!" She yelled. Everyone but her and Gohan remained now. "What are you still doing here?" Gohan asked. "I want to test out my new spell!" Twilight said with a smirk. "Go nuts." Gohan said. Twilight charged a purple magic with her horn... 'But it's so much weaker...!' Gohan thought. Trixie screamed as she fired some sort of red and black blade tornado at Gohan. "That looks deadly...!" Gohan said. It was making the sounds a blade would. You know, the *shing!* There's just a bunch of *shing!*s. He jumped up and backwards to attempt to avoid it. But the attack followed him somehow. Now he found himself inside the dark blade tornado. 'Great.' He thought. "Gohan!" Twilight yelled. 'Just a little more...' She thought. The magic tornado cut Gohan's clothes numerous times, but bounced off his skin. 'I don't know how I'm supposed to dodge!' He thought. The good thing is, it just wouldn't strike his hair, and he couldn't be hurt. "Yeah, how's that feel, monkey!?" Trixie yelled. She started cackling. Twilight fired a short magic beam at the tornado. Then... The attack just disappeared. "Huh...?" Gohan asked. "What!?" Trixie yelled. "Yes! Dispel spell worked!" Twilight cheered. "W-What...!? YOU nullified it!?" Trixie asked, pointing a hoof at Twilight. "Huh. A dispel spell is pretty amazing!" Gohan said, flying down to Twilight. "Thanks! Studied it just yesterday! Too bad it only works on magic, and mine barely dispelled hers." Twilight said. Trixie was even angrier. More red sparks appeared around her. Spike came running back with a book. "Twilight! I found it!" He yelled. Trixie took notice of him... And grabbed him with her red magic! "Wha- Hey! Put me down!" He yelled. He dropped the book. Twilight quickly grabbed the book with her magic. "Hey! Put him down, Trixie!" She yelled. Trixie had an evil grin. "How about I crush him?" She asked. "No!" Gohan and Twilight yelled. "Then surrender!" Trixie yelled. "This is starting to hurt!" Spike said. Twilight started reading through the book. "The alicorn amulet... Ah! Whoever wears it is blessed with untold powers!" She read. "So that's the target." Gohan said. "Even though it provides great power, it also corrupts the user!" Twilight said. "Then I'll just take it off her!" Gohan said. "Try it!" Trixie said, crushing Spike a little. "Ah! I felt my bones move!" Spike yelped. "You can't just take the Alicorn Amulet off her neck, it has a magical lock! Trixie's the only pony who can take it off!" Twilight said. "Then I'll find another way!" Gohan said, instantly turning into a Super Saiyan. "Now you changed your mane? Hah!" Trixie laughed. "I'll end this pitiful dragon right now!" Trixie yelled. She was about to just crush him into blood and guts. "This will be over in a second." Gohan said. In an instant, he moved. You could only see orange streaks. He moved past Trixie and back to his original position. But he was facing away from her, and held a fist. Trixie was dazed. Her red sparks disappeared. She ended up letting go of Spike. Spike checked himself and was okay! Trixie collapsed. Spike quickly ran to Twilight, and they hugged. Gohan looked over his shoulder at Trixie. "If you knew better, you'd surrender and reverse your actions." He said. Trixie barely managed to lift her head up. She looked angry, though. "No... Never!" She yelled, standing up. Gohan appeared right in front of her. "Then I'll just take this." He said. He grabbed the alicorn amulet, and ripped it off! And, surprisingly, did not have any trouble. Trixie lost all of her energy, and was surprised at the loss. Twilight and Spike looked in shock. "How did he...?" They asked. "How did you do that...!?" Trixie asked. "This is nothing but a nuisance for us. I'll make sure it'll never be used again." Gohan said, referring to the alicorn amulet. He crushed it into pieces with one hand! Twilight, Spike and Trixie looked in absolute shock. "Trixie, if you knew any better, you wouldn't fight me anymore. I don't want to hurt you." Gohan said. Trixie looked at him in anger, but realized he was right. "I... I surrender." She said. "Okay. Now you can go." Gohan said, doing the 'shoo' gesture. "Wait, what?" Trixie asked. "You can leave." Gohan said. "You aren't going to finish me or anything?" Trixie asked. "Why would I need to...?" Gohan asked. Trixie was just confused. "...This isn't a joke, I'm being serious. If you're scared, don't be." Gohan said. Trixie started walking backwards. Then she ran away. ... Clap. More claps. Everyone clapped! 'Oh no. Popularity!' Gohan thought. He quickly ran to Twilight and whispered something into her ear. "You know, I have reversal spells for all of that." Twilight said. "Perfect. Get this attention away from me...!" Gohan whispered. "Okay, now..." Twilight said. She found Snips and Snails spinning on the ground like a bunch of dumbasses. They're still fighting. "Reversal spell!" Twilight yelled. Purple magic came out from her horn, and hit the two idiots! A bunch of purple smoke appeared, and it died down to reveal a separated Snips and Snails. "Hey! We're not glued together!" Snails said. "Yeah!" Snips said. "Now for Rainbow Dash..." Twilight said. Rainbow Dash was still trying to fly with that giant Dyna Blade wing with the little wing. She nearly knocked into a lot of ponies. Twilight fired her magic at Rainbow Dash. Her wing was fixed. "Hey! My wing! Thanks, Twilight!" Rainbow Dash said. Then Pinkie appeared beside Twilight, still missing her mouth. "Mm! Mmmm mmm mmm mmm!" Pinkie said. Twilight put her mouth back. "Yay!" Pinkie said. *** Then Rainbow Dash's acceptance to the Wonderbolt Academy was just amazing. Gohan went with Rainbow Dash for moral support. He ended up doing more. *** Well, the Mane 6, Spike and Gohan were on the outside of Rainbow Dash's house... Having a picnic... Right next to a fucking mailbox. Why...? "Ooooh, I wish the mailpony would just come already! I can't wait another minute to find out if Rainbow Dash got in or not!" Pinkie said, impatiently hopping around. "Pinkie Pie, you're more nervous than Rainbow Dash." Twilight said. "It's not like you're aiming for a future for the Wonderbolts." Gohan said, eating an apple. "I'm not nervous at all. When I get into the Wonderbolt Academy..." Rainbow Dash said. "IF you get in! If you get in! Don't jinx it!" Pinkie yelled, grabbing Rainbow Dash. "I'm telling you, it's in the bag." Rainbow Dash said. "Don't jinx it!" Pinkie said. "For this case... It doesn't seem to be jinxing." Gohan said. "She is the best flyer in Ponyville." Applejack said. ~~Cyka! That belongs to Gohan!~~ "In Ponyville?" Rainbow Dash asked. She flew up into the sky, and began spinning around a cloud. She transformed it into a cloud slide and slid down it. "I'm probably the best flyer in all of Equestria. I wouldn't be surprised if they just went ahead and made me a Wonderbolt on the first day." She said, flying two inches off the ground. She ended up bumping into the mailpony. "Got a letter here for Rainbow Dash." He said. She instantly snagged it out from his hand, and tore it open! She read it, and... She looks devastated... "I... Didn't get in." She said. Pinkie Pie GASPED! ... "Gotcha!" Rainbow Dash said. Everyone perked up. Rainbow Dash started laughing. "Ha, you guys are so gullible. Like I wasn't gonna get in!" She said. Pinkie Pie tackle hugged Rainbow Dash to the ground. "I'm just sooooooooooo happy for you!" She exclaimed, hugging the shit out of Rainbow Dash. I think she doesn't know what personal space is. "Uh... thanks?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Well, congratulations." Gohan said. "Wait, Gohan, I need to ask..." Rainbow Dash said, getting out of Pinkie's death grip. "Do you mind coming with me? You know, for spectating?" She asked. "Uh... Sure? I suppose so." Gohan said. "Awesome! Then you can tell me how to improve!" She said. "Can you tell me why?" Gohan asked. "I think you'll give me tips to get better." Rainbow Dash said. "Okay, I need to pack a few things." Gohan said. "I'll be back..." He said. Then he zipped away. "Looks like you have a rival in speed." Twilight said. "Nuh uh!" Rainbow Dash said. Rarity and Applejack happened to have Rainbow Dash's saddlebags packed. Then Gohan came back. With just a tiny suitcase. "Bits and clothes are all I need." He said. "Gohan, would you say you're faster than Rainbow?" Twilight said. ... "No." Gohan said. "See? Even he admits it!" Rainbow Dash said. "Now let's get going. The sooner I get there, the sooner I get to show my stuff!" She said. She grabbed her saddlebags. The two started flying away. "Good luck!" Applejack said. "Don't need it!" Rainbow Dash said. ... Pinkie pulled out a gigantic megaphone... "DON'T FORGET TO WRIIIIIIITE!" She screamed. Holy fucking shit, she moved the fucking mountains with her voice. It echoed for a while... ... "OKAAAAAAAAY!" Gohan screamed from really far away. That echoed for a while. Why do voices ripple mountains!? *** Our two made it to the academy... Which was a cloud. A giant cloud. Rainbow Dash was loving what she saw. So much training...! 'This is dad's kind of place.' Gohan thought. "This is gonna be so sweet!" Rainbow Dash said. "Sure." Gohan said. *** Arrival time...! A line of the newbies... And Gohan. Who was making sure Rainbow Dash had her stuff secure. "Are you sure? That doesn't seem stable." Gohan said. "It's fine." Rainbow Dash said. "Well, lookie what we got here." Spitfire said. She was coming in with two other coaches. Everyone stood tall at her presence. Except Gohan... "Bet y'all think you're Wonderbolt material, don't ya?" She asked, walking past everyone. "Yes ma'am!" Everyone but Gohan screamed. Spitfire walked back again. "Think you got what it takes to be an elite flyer?" She asked. "Yes ma'am!" Everyone but Gohan screamed. "Well then. Let me be the first to tell you..." Spitfire said. "You don't!" She yelled into a pony's face. "If you had what it took to be an elite flyer, you'd already be a Wonderbolt!" She yelled. Then she went to Cloudchaser. "Still think you're something special?" Spitfire yelled. Cloudchaser was trembling. "No ma'am!" She said. Then Spitfire turned to Bulk Biceps. "Ya think you're hot stuff?" She asked. Then he just trembled and now he's scared. Then Spitfire turned to Rainbow Dash. "You look like you're the worst flyer in the whole academy! You'll probably quit after the first day!" She yelled. "No, ma'am! I'd never quit, ma'am!" Rainbow Dash said. Then Spitfire turned to Gohan... "You don't even have wings! Why are you even here!? You can't fly!" She yelled. Gohan was unfazed. "I'm here for my friend... I'm not even a part of the academy, I'm not interested in being a Wonderbolt. Plus, I can fly." He said. "Are you a comedian?" Spitfire asked. Gohan levitated off the ground, and sat crisscross in midair. Spitfire was surprised. "I'm not. I'm just telling you the truth." He said. "Huh... Wait a minute... Are you that warrior that took down Discord?" Spitfire asked. "Er... Yes... Ma'am..." Gohan said, dying down at the end. 'I didn't come here to be popular!' He thought. "Well, I'll be! Son Gohan, right here! Excuse me for being harsh." Spitfire said. Gohan stood on the ground again. "T-Thank you...?" He asked. "But I do expect something from you. So stay sharp." Spitfire said. 'Why...?' He thought. Spitfire went to Lightning Dust... "Ha. What about you? Bet you couldn't fly past the first flagpole without getting winded." She asked. "Try me, ma'am." Lightning Dust said. "What's that?" Spitfire asked. "Let me show you what I've got, ma'am." Lightning Dust said. "Ah. You want a chance to prove yourself, huh?" Spitfire asked. "Yes ma'am!" Lightning Dust said. "Well then, now's your chance. Give me five hundred laps! All of you!" Spitfire yelled. Everyone groaned. "NOW! That means you too!" Spitfire yelled, pointing at Gohan. "I'm not even a part of this class!" Gohan said. "Too bad!" Spitfire said. "It's not even going to give me a workout, I'm not using any muscles!" Gohan said. "I don't care." Spitfire said. She blew the whistle. *** Well, Gohan was roped into doing this now. He kept his speed on par with Rainbow Dash. But, since he had nothing better to do, he kept a cannonball pose. You know, when you jump off the diving board? Yeah, that. So he looked hilarious while keeping up with Rainbow Dash. Lightning Dust and Rainbow Dash were both at the same speed, so there's three of them. The three all zipped past Cloudchaser... And Spitfire. "Four hundred and ninety nine! One more to go!" She yelled. "Why are you doing that?" Rainbow Dash asked. Gohan was about to answer, but- "What do you expect from monkeys? They're all crazy." Lightning Dust said. "Hey!" Gohan said. "I'm doing this because this is monotonous, and I'm not getting a workout at all!" He said. "Whatever." Lightning Dust said. "Anyway, one more lap to go!" Rainbow Dash said. "You're on!" Lightning Dust said. Well, our two pegasi flew very fast, leaving Gohan behind. 'Meh. Hope she wins. That one's a jerk.' He thought. Rainbow Dash and Lightning Dust zipped around in a flash. They sped right past Spitfire, landing with smoke. "Five hundred! Not bad! For a couple of newbies." Spitfire said. Gohan slowly came in... He slowed himself down. You could hear some children's lullaby music for how stupid it looked. ... "Five hundred...?" Spitfire asked. "What are you doing?" She asked. Gohan stopped in his tracks. "I'm flying." He said. "That's the stupidest kind of flight I've ever seen! Don't you know that you fly faster by evening your body out! You could've zipped past everypony here!" Spitfire yelled. Shit. Come up with a shitty excuse for Rainbow Dash, come on...! "O-Oh, no ma'am. See, the way I fly, your body position doesn't actually matter. I don't fly with wings, but I use my energy to push off the air. Problem is, my stance doesn't determine my maximum speed, it's my output. So even if so flew straight while standing up tall, I would have the same speed..." He lied. He pulled that right out of his ass. "...Whatever." Spitfire said. "You're done." She said. During that, Rainbow Dash and Lightning Dust had became friends. "Hey Gohan! Wanna grab some grub!?" Rainbow Dash yelled. "Ooh! Yeah!" Gohan said, standing normally again. *** Pinkie was outside her mailbox... Opening it every five seconds... Waiting for a letter to come. Applejack happened to be by... "Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash and Gohan haven't even been gone twenty-four hours yet. Give them a chance to settle in first. Why don't we just go see what Twilight's up to? I hear Princess Celestia's got her workin' on some new spells!" She said. "New spells, huh? Okay. Wait! If I'm not here when Rainbow Dash's letter arrives, I won't be able to read it right away. And if I don't read it right away, I won't be able to write her back right away. And if I don't write her back right away, she might think I didn't get her letter, and then she might worry it got lost. And if she's worrying about her letter, she'll be distracted. And if she's distracted, then she won't do well at the academy! And if she doesn't do well at the academy, then she'll get kicked out! And if she gets kicked out, they'll never let her be a Wonderbolt! And if she doesn't get to be a Wonderbolt, all her dreams will be crushed! And it will be all... my... fault!" Pinkie sputtered... Then collapsing... I don't get it. "So in other words, you're stickin' by the mailbox." Applejack said. "Yep!" Pinkie said. "Suit yourself." Applejack said. Back to the opening every five seconds... *** Now the real training starts... Gohan was on the sidelines. He specifically told Spitfire that he didn't want to do any of this, he had his own regimen. Everyone was in their uniform. "The Wonderbolts are the fastest, best precision flyers in the world. But spin-outs can still happen. And when they do, a Wonderbolt must be able to recover quickly. This..." Spitfire said. A pony took a tarp off something huge. It's a giant target with gears that spin. "...is the Dizzitron. It's gonna make you very, I repeat, VERY dizzy. Your task is to try and recover and fly straight again, as soon as possible. Once you have recovered you must come in for a smooth landing. Now, who's first?" Spitfire asked. Rainbow Dash and Lightning Dust raised their hooves. "You." Spitfire said. ...Who was it? The Pony next to Rainbow Dash, Meadow Flower. "You're up." She said. "Me...?" Meadow Flower asked. It looked scary... ... "NOW!" Spitfire screamed. The mare quickly flew into the Dizzatron. "Ready!?" Spitfire asked. "Uh... Yes ma'am!" Meadow Flower said. Then the machine started. It spun really fast...! I'm surprised her face didn't peel off. Anyway... "Release!" Spitfire said. Then Meadow Flower was released... She spun around many times... When she tried landing, she slid on the ground and eventually collapsed. With a bad landing. "Huh. Fifteen seconds. Decent, but I wouldn't go writin' home about it! Who's next?" Spitfire asked. Rainbow Dash raised her hoof. "Alright, Rainbow Dash. Let's see what you got." Spitfire said. "Yes, ma'am!" Rainbow Dash said. "Put your training to the test!" Gohan said. Rainbow Dash got into the Dizzatron. Then it started again... Spinning... Spinning... "Release!" Spitfire said. Rainbow Dash flew off the Dizzatron, but successfully recovered and landed in an instant. "Six seconds! That's an academy record!" Spitfire said. Rainbow Dash landed beside Meadow Flower and Lightning Dust. "You make it look so easy..." Meadow Flower said. "I make everything look easy." Rainbow Dash said. "Okay, Lightning Dust. You're up." Spitfire said. Lightning Dust got into the machine. "Ma'am, can you put the Dizzitron at maximum speed? I wanna push my limits." She said. "You sure about that?" Spitfire asked. "Yes ma'am." Lightning Dust said. "Okay, you asked for it." Spitfire said. The machine started again, and... Now I really think her face would've peeled off by now. ... "Release!" Spitfire said. Lightning Dust spun around many times, but instantly recovered. She dropped down, and zipped past Spitfire. "6.5 seconds! Not bad!" Spitfire said. Rainbow Dash and Lightning Dust did a hoof bump. Spitfire turned to Gohan. "You. You're up." She said. "I specifically told you that I'm not even a part of this class!" Gohan said. "That's an order!" Spitfire yelled. Gohan sighed. He walked up to the Dizzatron. "It's not going to be fair, my way of flight will make this unfair." He said. "Just get in!" Spitfire yelled. Gohan did just that. "Let's go at highest setting!" Spitfire yelled. "Sure...?" Gohan asked. The machine started spinning again... Gohan's face wasn't looking like it'd peel off. ... "Release!" Spitfire said. As soon as Gohan released, he stopped in place. ...Then the metal bar holding ponies in broke off. Spitfire looked shocked. Well, everyone was. "Ah- You see!?" Gohan asked. "How is that even possible? You should be dizzy!" Spitfire said. The machine was whirring behind Gohan. "I told you, I use my energy to push myself off. I could push myself backwards even before I fly off this thing. So it's not fair." Gohan said. "Huh... Well, we need to repair this... You all get a free period!" Spitfire yelled. The ponies all cheered. "However!" Spitfire said, silencing them. "For the rest of the camp, you'll be working in pairs. 'Morrow morning, I'll post the teams, including who'll be lead pony and who'll be wingpony. Good luck." She said. "Wait." Gohan said, now standing on the ground. "I just want to make sure you're not adding me in." He said. ... "...And what if I do?" Spitfire asked. "...I won't be happy...? I'm not even a part of this class, it's pointless." Gohan said. "I don't even want to be a Wonderbolt." He added. "Oh. Suit yourself." Spitfire said, walking away. *** Well, mess hall. Bulletin board. Everyone was huddled around it... Rainbow Dash was about to see it. A few mares, Cloudchaser and Meadow Flower were leaving. "So, which one of you lucky gals gets to be MY wingpony?" She asked them boastfully. ...The two just stared giggling. "What?" Rainbow Dash asked defensively. "Eh, you might want to check the wall." Cloudchaser said. Well, Rainbow Dash did just that, and- "A wingpony?" She asked, her pride being shattered. Lightning Dust was her partner... So she came to her side. "They made us a team! Isn't that awesome?" She asked. Rainbow Dash forced a smile, but obviously was devastated. *** Gohan was in Rainbow Dash's bunk room, just sitting on the floor and reading a book. It was on basic magic. 'So that's the process of a unicorn's horn.' He thought. Then the door slammed open. Gohan quickly looked up. "Oh, hey Rainb- Is something wrong?" He asked. "Yeah! Did you see this?" Rainbow Dash asked, throwing the paper at him. It slowly fell down to Gohan's lap, and he read it. "Uh... What's the problem, exactly...?" He asked. ... "Are you serious!? I'm a wingpony!" Rainbow Dash said. "...Oh. Wingman. I see. You wanted to be the leader?" Gohan asked. "Well, obviously! I broke an academy record, I deserve to be a leader!" Rainbow Dash said. "Calm down! Calm down! It's not that big of a deal!" Gohan said. "Not that big of a deal!? It's a huge deal!" Rainbow Dash said. "Look, you're with Lightning Dust, the same pony who is almost as good as you." Gohan said. "Thank you." Rainbow Dash said. "But if you're together, it won't matter who's wingpony or not, you're both incredible. If you really want to be a leader that badly, then you'll jut have to impress Spitfire." Gohan said. "B-But..." Rainbow Dash said. "Look, think of it as the first step to becoming a Wonderbolt. Besides, it's only a matter of time until you become a Wonderbolt, Spitfire already likes your abilities." Gohan said. "Hmm... Thanks... I needed that." Rainbow Dash said. "Good. Now, when's the next round of training? I was told to be there." Gohan said. *** Well, outside. Everyone was ready for some training. "Today you will all be participating in a flag hunt. We'll divide you into two teams, red... and blue. Whoever finds the most flags of the opposing team's color wins." Spitfire said. "Huh. That sounds reasonable." Gohan said. "Oh, this is gonna be so much fun!" Meadow Flower said. "If you think this is gonna to be fun, you are sadly mistaken. This is for training purposes. This is not recess. Lead ponies and wingponies must fly together. If any pair splits apart, they will be immediately disqualified. Do you understand?" Spitfire asked. "Yes ma'am!" Everyone yelled. "Then let's go!" Spitfire yelled. She blew the whistle, and everyone was flying. Poof. "...Huh. That's some speed." Gohan said. Now the ponies were looking around for flags... Rainbow Dash and Lightning Dust were way ahead of the competition. However, Lightning Dust isn't exactly a team player... So she left Rainbow Dash in the dust. Get it? ~~I'll leave now.~~ Well, it's just that Lightning Dust wouldn't communicate with Rainbow Dash. So whenever she took a sharp turn, Rainbow Dash was left behind. And if they split apart, they're disqualified... So Rainbow Dash had to pick up the pace. Once she finally caught up... "You spotted any flags yet?" Lightning Dust asked. "Not yet!" Rainbow Dash said. Then she noticed a flag in a crevice. "There's one!" She said. Logs were blocking the entrance, so whoever wanted to enter had to shift. "Good eye!" Lightning Dust said, darting off. Both of them were headed at the flag. "We should slow down. It doesn't look like both of us can make it at this speed!" Rainbow Dash said. Lightning Dust didn't heed her words. So she put Rainbow Dash behind her. So that blocked her view... Once they had to shift into a standing position, Rainbow Dash couldn't aim herself properly. Lightning Dust passed the logs easily, but Rainbow Dash was a little off, and hurt her wing. Lightning Dust took the flag, and raced off. Rainbow Dash, with a broken bone in her wing, tried to keep up. They both landed in front of Spitfire, with Rainbow Dash lagging behind a bit. "Lightning Dust and Rainbow Dash found the first flag!" Spitfire said. Gohan noticed Rainbow Dash's injury... "Come on! Let's find some more!" Lightning Dust said, ready to take off. Rainbow Dash wasn't exactly comfortable yet... But, Gohan did something about it. "Rainbow Dash." He said, getting her attention. "Senzu bean!" He yelled, throwing a senzu bean right at her. She caught it with her hoof. "Ooh! Thanks!" Rainbow Dash said, eating of it. Now her broken wing was fixed! "You're fine!" Lightning Dust said, flying off. Rainbow Dash zoomed after her. ... "What was that?" Spitfire asked. "I saw Rainbow Dash with a broken bone connected to one of the extensor longus digiti majorus, flexor digitorum superficialis and the flexor digitorum profundus, which are all required for flight. If she flew for even a few more seconds with that broken bone, then she probably would've lost the ability to fly properly for the rest of her life. I healed her with these senzu beans." Gohan explained thoroughly. He held out a pouch of senzu beans. ... Spitfire just stood there, completely shocked. "...I studied up on pegasus anatomy. I'm a fighter, but I'm also an avid reader!" Gohan said with a bright smile. ... "...I'm not even going to question that. If you took the test, you would've been in the Wonderbolts by now." Spitfire said. "What?" Gohan asked. *** Pinkie was still looking at the mail... ... Has she even slept for these three days? ... Then she gasped! The mailpony! "I've got a letter from-" He said, before Pinkie swiped that letter. "Ooh!" Pinkie squealed. She ripped open the letter, and pulled out the paper inside... ... "YAY!" She screamed. The rest of the Mane 6 looked from afar... "She's been at it for three days..." Rarity said. "At least she finally got a letter." Fluttershy said. Back to Pinkie. "But wait! It's from Gohan, though! Rainbow Dash didn't even sign the letter! Which means she probably never even looked at this letter! Which also probably means she forgot about us! And-" The rest of the Mane 6 all sighed. "She's back at it again..." Applejack said. "I just wish there was some way to help her..." Fluttershy said. Then Pinkie appeared behind them out from nowhere. "Help me? The only thing that could possibly help me right now is a letter from Rainbow Dash!" Pinkie said. "...Didn't you already get one?" Twilight asked. "No, it was from Gohan! I'm glad he still remembers us, but Rainbow Dash didn't even sign it! It's been three days already. By now, she probably doesn't even know our names anymore! She probably can't remember our faces! "Pinkie Pie? I never heard of a Pinkie Pie! Who is Pinkie Pie?" She overreacted. ... "Well, if you're so worried, then why don't you send her a letter first?" Twilight asked. Then Pinkie perked up. "Of course! That's a great idea!" She said. Then everyone else had a sigh of relief... "Oh wait! I got an even better idea! How about we send Rainbow Dash a care package? You know, before she forgets all about us? Although, come on, let's face it. It's probably too late for that. But, uh, maybe it'll jog her memory somehow." Pinkie said. Damn it, I thought this would work. And I'm the damn writer. "Pinkie Pie, I'm sure Rainbow Dash still remembers our faces and who we are. But I think sending her a care package is a great idea." Twilight said. "A care package it is! We'll send it through the mail!" Pinkie said excitedly. Twilight silently sighed. "WAIT!" DAMN IT! I CAN'T CONTROL HER! "Ah! That won't work at all!" She said. "Why not...!?" Applejack asked. "Because what if the package gets lost in the mail? What if somepony else gets the package by accident and then she remembers us instead of Rainbow Dash and then she becomes our new friend? And then the REAL Rainbow Dash won't ever know that she used to have friends and she forgot them!" Pinkie sputtered. ... ...Can I be the first to tell her she's mentally insane? "...Is anypony else followin' this?" Applejack asked. Nope. "I've got it! We'll deliver the care package to Rainbow Dash in person!" Pinkie said. Now everyone was okay with this. "I wouldn't mind a little trip." Rarity said. "I'll go!" Twilight said. "Count me in!" Applejack said. "Me too." Fluttershy said. "Me five!" Pinkie said. "But don't be upset if she doesn't recognize you at first. It may take a while for her to get her memory back." She added. Jesus Christ... *** Well, training course. More like obstacle course. "Today we'll be doing our famous air obstacle course." Spitfire said. This is like a death trap. Well, there were cloud hoops, pink thunderclouds, and huge ass fans blowing wind. "The object of this exercise is to work on your precision flying under extreme circumstances. And don't worry about winning. It's not a race." Spitfire said. Lightning Dust winked at Rainbow Dash... Challenge accepted! "And you're going in too!" Spitfire demanded, pointing at Gohan. "...Why?" Gohan asked. "Because I said so. You're no more than a private, and I'm the general!" Spitfire said. Gohan would've loved to go on about how he doesn't have a rank, and if he did, he would be a lot higher than her, but he decided- "Yes ma'am..." He said. He got to the starting line. 'Just stay right behind Rainbow Dash, and it'll all be fine...' He thought. "Now everypony, get on your marks!" Spitfire yelled. The ponies all got their goggles on. The whistle blew! And they're off! Well, one pair at a time. First two pairs went, then it was Rainbow Dash and Lightning Dust! ...Then it was Gohan. Who flew right behind the second and third fastest here. First, the cloud hoops had some intense winds to move around, so they had to make sure they weren't off track. Easy enough for the first two pairs. But then the slingshotted pink thunderclouds caught them by surprise, and slowed them down. Lightning Dust turned to Rainbow Dash and gave her a grin. Then she bolted off. Rainbow Dash quickly followed. Gohan rolled his eyes and did the same. When it came to the pink thunderclouds... Rainbow Dash and Lightning Dust dodged them easily. With Gohan... He punched them all! Spitfire lowered her sunglasses. "He's got guts." She muttered. Then our pair flew at high speeds, and- They had to slow down. They nearly crashed into the pair in front of them. "Ugh! Can't they go any faster? It's no good, I can't get around them!" Lightning Dust complained. "Pfft." Gohan said, right from behind. "It isn't that bad." He added. "They're SO slow!" Lightning Dust said. "Actually, moving at 17 miles per hour is a relatively fast speed for an average pegasus. You two are special cases, though. Like, speed of sound, special." Gohan said. ... "Nerd." Rainbow Dash said plainly. "I take pride in that." Gohan said. "Anyway... We can still fly completely in sync and blow Spitfire's mind with our moves!" Rainbow Dash said. "I guess..." Lightning Dust said. The ponies in front of them passed through the hoops. Rainbow Dash and Lightning Dust decided to style, going through the same hoop twice doing a loop de loop. Gohan ended up passing them. They did it twice. And another pair ended up passing them. Now there's a thunderstorm... The pair in front of Gohan were slowing down, and struggling to pass. More wing flapping! Gohan felt sorry for them... But didn't pass them. Lightning Dust was annoyed. "What are they, a couple of snails? It's just a little weather." She said. Then thunder roared... Now everyone was finally out of that hellhole... The final part, really powerful fans! "Now's our chance to pass these slowpokes!" Lightning Dust told Rainbow Dash. Rainbow Dash wasn't exactly comfortable... But went with it. The two bolted, smashing into the pairs in front of them! Ugh... It's dirty! The fallen pairs knocked into other pairs and totally fucked them up! Then- "Ow!" The two yelled. They smashed into Gohan's feet. Lightning Dust was annoyed at this, too. "Oh come on! Could you be any slower!?" She yelled. Gohan looked over his shoulder before turning around entirely. He kept flying backwards. "I'll have you know that this isn't a race. Stop acting so competitive." Gohan said. "Filthy casual!" Lightning Dust said, pointing at Gohan. "That's new." Gohan said. "Just go faster!" Lightning Dust yelled. "Fine!" Gohan said with an annoyed tone. First, he had yellow aura around him. Then, he darted away! He was fast! The two were shocked, but determined to beat him. They flew over and under the winds while Gohan just passed right through. In fact, he was trying to touch them. He was now looking forward. He decreased his speed for the two behind him. They managed to catch up to him... It was a real race... The three were neck at neck...at neck... Who will win!? Aura? Rainbow? Or Lightning? They all landed, sliding across the ground! Well, not Gohan. He just stopped as soon as he landed. The other two slid all the way to Spitfire. "Not bad! And in record time, too!" Spitfire said. "But... If we were to call this a race, Rainbow Dash would be first." She said. "Yes!" Rainbow Dash cheered. "And Gohan would be second." Spitfire said. "What!?" Lightning Dust asked. "I don't get how I did that but okay!" Gohan called from far away. "How!? I totally beat him!" Lightning Dust said, being totally salty. "He clearly landed before you. But, that still doesn't mean you two were bad. Definitely made the right decision making you two a team. The others seem to have had a little trouble with the precision part of the exercise. I'd better go help sort them out. Why don't you two go hit the mess hall early?" Spitfire said. "You too!" She yelled to Gohan. Gohan gave a thumbs up. Spitfire didn't know what the hell that was. "Anyway. I'm off." Spitfire said, flying away. "Yes ma'am!" Lightning Dust said, trotting away. "Thank you, ma'am!" Rainbow Dash said. ... She turned to Lightning Dust. "Um, Lightning Dust? Next time, maybe we don't cut the other teams off like that." She said. "Hey, you snooze, you lose! Besides, Wonderbolts are supposed to be able to recover from a spin-out. You saw them on the Dizzitron! They could use the practice. I mean, it's not OUR fault we're so much better than those other guys! Not every pony is destined to become a Wonderbolt. Only the best of the best, right?" Lightning Dust asked. "Now hold on..." Gohan said, appearing out of nowhere. "What do you want?" Lightning Dust asked, clearly irritated at his presence. "That's not very sportsmanship like... Being a Wonderbolt isn't all about skills, it's also about heart." Gohan said. "When have you EVER seen that?" Lightning Dust asked. "In nearly every elite team. It's the teamwork! Not showing off to say that you're the coolest of the bunch." Gohan said. "I'm going with Gohan, here." Rainbow Dash said. "Whatever." Lightning Dust said, trotting away. ... "Man, that was a close race!" Rainbow Dash said. "I was giving it my all, and even with an extra mile I lost to you!" Gohan said happily...? "Are you really happy about losing...?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Well, no. I'm happy we settled who's actually the fastest in Equestria!" Gohan said. "Oh... Uh... Yeah!" Rainbow Dash said. *** Now there's a cloud destroying exercise... Destroy the most, and your team wins. Gohan was excluded because, well, he had projectiles. Rainbow Dash and Lightning Dust dominated, getting 95% of the clouds compared to the rest... Jesus, they're even stealing clouds. Slicing and dicing, combos, yadda yadda. ...But Lightning Dust wanted to do more... "I have an idea about how we can literally blow away our competition." She said to Rainbow Dash. "But we're already way ahead." Rainbow Dash said, looking behind her. The other pairs were struggling to even destroy a cloud... "Are you in or not?" Lightning Dust asked. Rainbow Dash thought about it... "...I'm in." She said. "Then follow my lead!" Lightning Dust said. The two started flying in very quick circles... Which turned into a tornado. 'What are they doing!?' Gohan thought. They moved the tornado around, and destroyed nearly every cloud in sight. ...But they added a little bit too much power... "I can't control it!" Lightning Dust said. She ended up flying out of the tornado because she lost her balance. Rainbow Dash tried keeping up, but also ended up flying out. She landed right by Gohan. Said tornado was now about to hit innocent assistants... And it passed right through Gohan. 'That's a lotta damage.' He thought. Rainbow Dash managed to get herself up... Then he noticed the hot air balloon from afar... With his friends... And the tornado was headed straight for it. ...Shit. "It's a twister!" Applejack said. And it was massive. Both Rainbow Dash and Gohan happened to say "Uh oh." The tornado ripped the hot air balloon apart...! First the ropes... The rest of the Mane 6 all tried hanging on, but... They all ended up being hurled out. Since only one of them can barely fly... They all started falling and screaming. Except the care package. Gohan and Rainbow Dash looked to each other and nodded. Zoom! They were out. They both darted at the speed of sound, trying to get below them. "Okay, here's the plan! We-" Gohan said, but... "I'll gather enough clouds for them to bounce off of, and maybe you can use your aura to push them to the waterfall!" Rainbow Dash said. ... "I guess that works." Gohan said. Rainbow Dash got about 200 feet below the falling mares. Gohan flew upwards, and got into a position where he'd be just behind the ponies. Rainbow Dash instantly gathered five clouds, and spun around them. You could see the rainbow spinning around the clouds... Rainbow Dash, in doing that, managed to combine all of the clouds together to create a sort of trampoline... It was enough for unicorns and earth ponies to sit on, okay? Once her friends safely landed on the cloud, Rainbow Dash 'detonated' it by spinning around it upwards. They all flew upwards while screaming. "That's my cue!" Gohan said. He turned into a Super Saiyan, making his aura flare like there was no tomorrow! Then the ponies were pushed towards the training course... Which was concrete and dirt. So death to all those who land. Gohan stopped his aura. "Crapbaskets!" He said. But, luckily for Gohan, the rest of the ponies at the Wonderbolts Academy caught the ponies with full nelsons and bridal style... Even the care package was saved. But Cloudchaser, who caught Fluttershy, was a little pissed that she had wings. All the ponies were brought safely to the ground... Both Gohan and Rainbow Dash happened to fly down and up respectively to the same height at the same time. "Are you guys okay?" They asked. Then they looked to each other. Everyone but Pinkie pretty much said "Uh-huh." The two flew to their friends... Pinkie was still on the ground. "Pinkie Pie!" Rainbow Dash said, a little concerned. Then Pinkie looked up with a near crying face... I mean, she looked like she was about to- "You... REMEMBERED ME!" She said, hugging Rainbow Dash tightly. Almost choking her... "Of course she did. It's only been four days!" Gohan said. "And what are you all doing here?" Rainbow Dash asked, getting Pinkie off her. "We wanted to bring you a care package. Didn't realize you'd be in the middle of some crazy tornado drill." Applejack said. Then Lightning Dust happened to fly in. "That... Was... AWESOME!" She yelled. "Awesome!?" Rainbow Dash and Gohan asked. "My friends could have been smashed to pieces!" They both said angrily. Then they looked to each other again. 'We just happen to say the same things, huh...' They both thought. "Yeah... But they weren't, right?" Lightning Dust asked. She flew up to the sky. "Can't say the same for the clouds. We totally wiped them out with that tornado. The other cadets will have to be up there for days to bust as many as we did." She said, flying down to Rainbow Dash. She held her hoof out for a hoof bump. The other ponies were not happy... "...A hoof bump? Seriously?" Rainbow Dash asked, turning it down. "You made me clip my wing. You sent half of our class into serious tailspins on the obstacle course. You unleashed a tornado that nearly demolished my friends!" She yelled. "Yeah. And?" Lightning Dust asked. "Are you really that dense!?" Gohan asked. He can't turn off the Super Saiyan with this anger... "I get that you want to be the best. So do I! But you're going about it in the wrong way." Rainbow Dash said. "The Wonderbolts don't seem to think so. After all, Spitfire did make me the leader and you the wingpony." Lightning Dust said. "Except Spitfire didn't see how much of a better pony Rainbow Dash is compared to you." Gohan said. "What was that?" Lightning Dust asked angrily. I love how nobody is talking about how he has yellow hair. "Leaders are supposed to show compassion. They're supposed to get along with everyone. Especially their team. However, in watching you attempt to lead, you utterly fail." Gohan said. "I don't know what's going on in that monkey head of yours." Lightning Dust mocked. "Rainbow Dash, you do the honors." Gohan said, crossing his arms. "I can't express myself under this anger." He added. "I've got this." Rainbow Dash said. "You don't talk. You just do whatever you want and expect your teammates to read your mind. You lack compassion. It doesn't matter if you're ahead of everyone, that doesn't mean you have the authority to insult them like that. To add injury to insult, you smash into them just to prove your superiority! The final nail in the coffin? You just shrugged off almost accidentally killing five ponies today. That's just sick. A leader doesn't do any of that. In fact- Any sane pony wouldn't do something that reckless and heartless!" Rainbow Dash said. ... ...What a speech... Is somepony clapping? Spitfire? "I'm very impressed with you, Rainbow Dash." She said. ... "The Wonderbolts are looking for the best flyers in Equestria, and you're right. Being the best should never come at the expense of our fellow ponies. It's not just about pushing ourselves. It's about pushing ourselves in the right direction. You've shown that you're capable of doing just that." Spitfire said. She walked right up to Lightning Dust, who was paralyzed with fear... She snatched her leader badge right off! "You're expelled. Get out." She muttered. Her two assistants escorted her away in shock... "You're no wingpony, Rainbow Dash. You're a leader." Spitfire said. She removed the wingpony badge and replaced it with the leader badge... ...Then Rainbow Dash got all excited. "OhmygoshOhmygoshOhmygoshOhmygoshOhmygosh!" She repeated, flapping her wings. Everyone seemed to be happy for her...! Even the fellow flyers. "Now get out there and give me twenty!" Spitfire yelled. "Yes ma'am!" Rainbow Dash said, flying high into the sky. The other ponies quickly followed her. Gohan was no longer a Super Saiyan. He smiled. ... "Wait!" Pinkie yelled. "You didn't even get to open your care package!" She screamed, holding a very crushed box. "Did I get a care package?" Gohan asked. "No." Pinkie said. "Aw..." Gohan said, sad... "Just kidding!" Pinkie said, pulling out a second but equally crushed box. "Yay!" Gohan said. *** And then Discord returned. Now, this one I actually bothered to do, because it's unacceptable not to. ~~Yeah, that's right, past me! Go fuck yourself!~~ *** Our usual group, The Mane 6, Spike and Gohan, were waiting on the outskirts of Ponyville. Well, minus Fluttershy and Applejack, they were kinda gone for the moment. They were just hanging around, waiting for Princess Celestia to arrive. Then Pinkie spoke. "I love it when Princess Celestia comes to Ponyville! I got my hooves shined just like Rarity for the occasion! You like?" She asked, showing off a hoof. Rarity and Gohan looked into the hoof. You could see your reflection as if it was a mirror without pink. "I certainly do!" Rarity said. "I'm surprised that this is physically possible." Gohan said. "I'm surprised she's not here yet." Twilight said. "What's taking her so long?" Spike asked. "Wait... What is that?" Gohan asked. He felt a disturbance... Something too familiar. "Is something wrong, darling?" Rarity asked. "I'm getting this weird feeling... Don't mind me, continue." Gohan said. "Where are Applejack and Fluttershy?" Twilight asked. "Fluttershy's detained helping Applejack with a mishap at Sweet Apple Acres. They'll be along." Rarity said. "But I still don't get why the Princess would be so late." Spike said. "She's bringing an important visitor. That could be part of it." Twilight said. "A visitor who's important and SLOW!" Rainbow Dash said. "Maybe it's somepony so terribly important, she still had many more terribly important things to do before she got here." Rarity chipped in. Then... Spike gasped. Gohan had a very surprised look. "Maybe the visitor has a deer antler, a goat leg, a bat wing, and a snake tail!" Spike said. "Yeah, right, that's Discord." Twilight said. "It IS Discord." Gohan said. "What?" Everyone asked. Celestia came in through carriage, and another carriage carried a statue of Discord. She got off the carriage and onto the ground. Everyone stood there in complete shock. ... Twilight was the first to speak up. "With all due respect, Princess Celestia, HOW COULD YOU BRING DISCORD HERE!?" She asked. Then she cleared her throat in embarrassment. "Er, your majesty." She said. "I'm fully aware that the last time Discord was here, he created serious havoc." Celestia said. "So, you need me to smash him to pieces so he'll never come back?" Gohan asked. He then instantly turned into a Super Saiyan. The ponies all just stood back in fear. "Because I'm MORE than willing to." He said, clearly enraged at Discord. He cracked his fingers and his neck. Celestia raised a hoof. "No, that isn't needed in the slightest, Son Gohan." She said. "Please put that away, its super duper scary!" Pinkie said. "Oh, right, sorry." Gohan said. He reverted. "I understand that you may have vengeful feelings, all of you." Celestia said. "The guy tricked me into thinking my dad hated me!" Gohan said. "I have use for Discord's magic if it can be reformed to serve good instead of evil. This is why I've brought Discord here, because I believe that you are the ponies who can help him do just that." Celestia said. ... "Although I'd like to argue, you do have a bit of a point..." Gohan said. Then Spike chipped in... "This will never work! This is a disaster! How will we ever control him!? We're doomed!" He yelled. "Need I remind you that you have two very powerful options to stop him at your disposal? And you have the hero who did it himself right there?" Celestia asked. "I suppose we can actually use the Elements for a second time..." Twilight said. "If he needs reforming, then I need to get over his bad deeds... Let's try." Gohan said. "Uh, w-w-we probably need a volunteer to run away from here right away to get the Elements. I'll do it!" Spike said, about to run off. "No need, Spike. I have them right here, and I've cast a spell so Discord can't take them and hide them again." Celestia said. Her guards showed a chest. "Didn't Discord take them last time?" Gohan asked. "Now where is Fluttershy? I believe she may know best how to begin reforming Discord." Celestia said. "Fluttershy? Really?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Eh, makes sense. She's the kindest pony around." Gohan said. *** Well, Applejack and Fluttershy are talking to a beaver at a dam... "What's he goin' on about now?" Applejack asked. "Good news. Mr. Beaverton Beaverteeth has agreed to take his dam apart and move it." Fluttershy said. "Well, it's about time. My apple trees are so waterlogged, I can practically hear 'em gargle!" Applejack said. Then the beaver started complaining. "But he says first you'll have to apologize for calling him a 'nuisance.'" Fluttershy said. "Apologize!? He's lucky I didn't call him a varmint!" Applejack said. The beaver responded again. Well, here's how I think it went... "Fack uuuuu!" Fluttershy gasped. "Mr. Beaverton Beaverteeth! Such language!" She scolded. She had a mean face on. Then she turned to Applejack. "Fine, fine. I apologize." Applejack said. "Bullshit!" I-I mean, the beaver spit at her. Applejack wanted to pound his damn face in, but Fluttershy calmed her a bit. The beaver moved one stick... And the whole dam went down. *** The two made it to Ponyville, and Fluttershy was speaking to Celestia. Gohan was taking mental notes on apologies and stuff. "I realize that this is a tall order, but I wouldn't ask if I weren't confident you could get him to use magic obediently of his own free will." Celestia said. "And... you really think I'll know best how to do that?" Fluttershy asked, insecure. Celestia raised her head with a hoof, saying: "I do." Fluttershy blushed in response. "Now, I must return to Canterlot for Equestria's royal summit. You may release Discord when ready." Celestia said. She flew away with her royal guard. Twilight used her magic to pull the chest towards her. "Okay, ponies, guess it's time to get started. Let's just hope this releasing spell works." She said. "Or... Let's not." Spike said. Twilight gave each pony their element with her magic. "We'd best keep our elements on at all times 'til further notice." She said. "Check!" The Mane 6 said. "Gohan?" Twilight asked. "I'm already ready." Gohan said, not thinking of what Twilight thought. Twilight performed a spell. It used all of the elements, causing each pony to float. They connected again with rainbows! They unleashed it on the stone Discord, and... His statue cracked. And BOOM! Discord's back, baby! He roared loudly! ...Which turned out to be a loud yawn. Then he realized he could move and wiggled his whole body. "Oh! Ooh! Ooooh! Well, it's about time somepony got me out of that prison block. What a relief!" He said. Then he snapped his fingers, turning a squirrel into a macho man. He eats trees now. "Not even five seconds." Gohan said. The ponies gasped. "What do you think you're doing!?" Twilight asked. Discord stretched. "Nnnnnnnnngh... Why, stretching, of course. When you're a creature of chaos, stone bodysuits aren't your typical go to fashion choice. Nnngh... " He said, snapping his fingers. He turned a bunny into a fucking Hulk bunny. "Make that bunny cute again, now!" Pinkie yelled. "Oh... He's adorable the way he is!" Discord said, petting him. He tried eating Discord, so... He blew a raspberry. "You know what else is adorable? You ponies truly believe that you can reform me, and that you're putting your faith in this one here to make it happen." Discord said, pointing at Fluttershy. "Makes me wanna pinch your little horsey cheeks..." Discord said, doing just that to Fluttershy. "How'd you know about that!?" Twilight asked. "And stop it!" Gohan said. "First of all, being turned to stone doesn't keep me from hearing every word Celestia says. Although I admit it makes rolling my eyes a challenge. Second, no." Discord said. "I REALLY won't hold back this time! I was really ready to talk it out with you!" Gohan yelled. "Oh? All right, let's talk it out. I'm the psychologist today, it seems." Discord said, wearing glasses and grabbing a pencil and notepad. He made a couch appear next to Gohan, but he didn't sit. "Okay, so... You want me to apologize for trying to impersonate your father and make you think you're a murderer..." Discord said. "H-How did you...?" Gohan asked. "At this point, I did my research. You're a bipolar, depressed kid." Discord said with a smirk. "What?" Gohan asked. "Anyone can see that, especially seeing what you've been through. We could talk about it, make you learn more about yourself." Discord said. "Enough!" Twilight yelled. "Unless you want us to turn you back into stone, you'll zap those animals back the way they were, pronto!" She yelled. Discord removed the couch, the glasses and the notepad. "Oh, you wouldn't dare turn me back to stone and risk disappointing your precious princess." Discord said, crossing his arms. He flung the pencil at a tree. "Try us, Dip-cord!" Rainbow Dash yelled. "You think you can treat poor defenseless animals like that and get away with it?!" Fluttershy yelled. "You go, Fluttershy!" Rainbow Dash cheered. "You'd best watch your step, buster, or I'll give you... the Stare!" Fluttershy said. "The Stare? Oh no, please, not that! Anything but your disapproving eyeballs!" Discord said sarcastically. At this point, he was laughing. Fluttershy unleashed it! "Oh no! No no no, stop! No, no!" Discord stopped laughing. He was choking himself, struggling... "I can't! Stop! I can't take it anymore! I'll do whatever you say! Because..." He said, struggling... Then he laughed again. "You're hilarious!" He said, slapping his knee. "If it turns out we use Gohan or the Elements against you, I'm sure we can convince Princess Celestia it was for a good reason!" Twilight yelled. "Yeah! Get him, Gohan!" Pinkie commanded, pointing at Discord. Gohan got into a fighting pose. "Oh, right. Remember these, best buddy?" Discord asked, snapping his fingers. A Gohan clone. "You..." Gohan said. Then Discord chuckled before removing it from reality. "I'm just joking, hoho!" He said. "I was going to eviscerate you and him at the same time, and use your gastrointestinal tract as a-" "-Whoa, whoa!" Twilight interrupted Gohan. "Keep the language down, Gohan!" Pinkie said. "In layman's terms, its skullfu-" "-NO!" Twilight yelled. "Okay! Okay." Gohan said. "Okay... I'll undo the bunny." Discord said, snapping his fingers. No more hulk bunny. Then... He used his tail to snap his tail fingers? I dunno. Then a bunch of nearby beavers had red eyes all of a sudden. Nobody happened to notice. "Well, it looks like I know where I'll be crashing while I'm being 'reformed...' With you, Fluttershy." He said, making Fluttershy appear in his arms. He noogied her. Then he started cackling. "Oh dear..." Fluttershy said. *** Now we're all at Fluttershy's cottage... Discord lounged on that green couch. Fluttershy was arranging things, like vases and such... To be hospitable. "He may be horrible, but that doesn't mean we have to act the same way. We should at least try to be hospitable..." She said. Then she realized. Angel happened to be by... "You don't mind giving up your favorite spot on the couch, do you, Angel Bunny?" Fluttershy whispered. Yes. Angel minds a lot. He hopped to Discord's leg and pulled on it. In a desperate attempt to get him off his favorite spot... He gave up pretty easily. So he walked away in anger. "Oh, I'm sorry about Angel. Are you alright?" Fluttershy asked. "Oh, yes. Thank you, Fluttershy, for your concern. If only your pony friends could be as considerate..." Discord sneered. "Don't listen to him, Fluttershy! He's just trying to drive a wedge between us like he always does." Rainbow Dash said. "Now WHY in the WORLD would I EVER try to do a thing like that?" Discord asked. "So you can prevent us from having a weapon to turn you to stone?" Gohan asked. ... "My thoughts exactly." Twilight said. "I've NEVER thought of that!" Discord said with a smile. "You big liar!" Rainbow Dash said. "Now look who's the liar!" Discord said. Now that we see him... "Anyone can plainly see that I'm not big at all." He said. He's like 1/20th of the couch. Then Angel came to the couch, wanting to take back his spot... Then Discord went back to normal size and knocked him away with his size. In doing that, he also knocked a light over. Fluttershy was devastated at that... "Oops." Discord said. He snapped his fingers to reuse the pieces... ...And made a miniature version of him in a skirt, holding a light bulb. ...Then Angel was back on the couch. So he used his tail to knock him off again. "I can't watch." Applejack said. "We'll be outside." Rainbow Dash said. "I'm staying." Gohan said. "Suit yourself!" Rarity said. Before Twilight walked out the door, she just had to ask Fluttershy... "You sure you're okay with this?" Twilight asked. "I know it's not gonna be easy, but Princess Celestia's counting on me. And... I think I actually know what to do." Fluttershy said. "You do?" Twilight asked excitedly. Now the real fun started... In the background of this conversation... Angel was trying to get on that damn couch. He tried charging at it and failed, because Discord lifted it up. Then Gohan came to the couch. "I think the key is to befriend him." She said. He grabbed on the leg tight. Discord tried moving the couch, but that didn't work. So he repeatedly slapped Gohan in the face with his tail. "Being kind to him and letting him be my house guest is probably the best way to do that." Fluttershy said. Angel tried jumping on, but Discord managed to move the couch a few feet to prevent that. Then Gohan instantly turned into a Super Saiyan... "You really think that'll work?" Twilight asked. "I think it's worth a try!" Fluttershy said. "Okay, but if you need us, all you need to do is whisper 'Help!'" Twilight said. Discord gestured for a game of Rock Paper Scissors. So Gohan agreed. "Saisho wa gu! Jyanken hoi!" Discord threw rock and Gohan threw scissors, so... "Eyyy!" Discord cheered. Gohan looked mildly distraught. "...And we'll be back here with our Elements." Twilight said. "So watch that goat-legged step of yours, pal!" She yelled at Discord. Now he and Gohan were playing more Japanese Rock Paper Scissors. "Haikodesho!" They both yelled, throwing rock. Then Discord heard Twilight... He snapped his fingers. All of a sudden, he and Gohan were in blue suits, sitting on fancy chairs, holding cups of tea. Discord got a blue hat, too. "Wh-what?! Look at me! I'm practically reformed already." He said. Twilight went outside. Then Discord and Gohan looked at each other again... ... "Saisho wa-" *** Outside... "She's really alright with him staying there?" Rarity asked. "That's what she said." Twilight said. "Personally, I think we should come up with a backup plan, in case this whole 'befriending' business doesn't work out." Rainbow Dash said. "Well, our backup plans are Gohan, and if that's not good enough... I think I have just the trick." Twilight said. *** Gohan was now a regular Saiyan, sitting on the opposite side of the couch with Discord... Who was eating Paper out of a bowl. With a fork. "Discord?" Fluttershy asked, poking her head in from her kitchen. "Oh, there you are. Listen, Discord, I just want to make sure you know that if there's anything I can do to- uh, umm, are you eating... paper?" Fluttershy asked. Discord swallowed some paper. "Am I? Huh, how odd of me." He said. I mean, I used to eat paper just to gross out my friends. It was funny. Anyway... "I know that paper can be eaten, but it's not exactly healthy..." Gohan said. "Well... Uh... I'm just heading out, so you just make yourself at home while I'm gone..." Fluttershy said. She went out the door. Discord stuck half his body out the door with a bathrobe on. "Bye bye! Have a nice time! Everything is fine! Bye bye!" He said. Then he stepped back inside... "Don't get any ideas..." Gohan said. ... Discord snapped his fingers, and... Now the entire house was spinning in circles, holy shit. By that, I mean up to down, not side to side. Things were falling and... Shit, Fluttershy's back. "What's going on here!?" She asked. Apparently Discord's couch was the only thing stationary. Fluttershy had to fly to keep on eye level... "Discord!" Gohan yelled. "Are you sure this isn't overdoing it? You said to make myself at home while you were gone, but I wouldn't want to overstep my bounds..." Discord said. A book smashed into Gohan's face. "Ow!" He yelled. "Ngh... I did say that, so... If this makes you more comfortable... By all means, please feel free..." Fluttershy said, narrowly dodging her pottery. "Oh, it does, very much so." Discord said. "Fluttershy, you can't just let him destroy your house!" Gohan said. "Oh, hush." Discord said, stuffing some paper into Gohan's mouth. Gohan spit it out. "This is completely asinine!" He yelled. "I-It's fine...?" Fluttershy said. Wasn't so sure, but... "Oh, you're so kind." Discord said, moving his head to be beside Fluttershy. "I always knew that you were the understanding one! Unlike those nasty friends of yours..." He muttered. "I can hear you!" Gohan said. Then Angel was smashed into his face. ...That rabbit clung on for dear life. "Yes, anyhow..." Discord said. "My friends aren't nasty!" Fluttershy yelled. "Well of COURSE you'd say that! It just goes to show how understanding you truly are!" Discord said, massaging her shoulders...? Then he teleported back into the couch. "I'm actually considering this reformation thing..." He said. Gohan managed to put Angel on his shoulder rather than his face. "This is a little overboard!" He said. "One of the animals could have their neck broken!" He added. "Fluttershy! Fluttershy!" Someone called from outside. "Oh! Twilight!" Fluttershy said. "Wait, take Angel, he's going to be hurt in here..." Gohan said. So Fluttershy grabbed Angel and headed outside, where... We could see the fucking house was removed from the ground and... Spinning in mid air. As soon as she left the premises, and closed the door... The house turned into an iceberg. "Ah!" Gohan yelled. ~~"MY DICK IS AN ICICLE!"~~ Fluttershy flew down to Twilight and Spike. And let Angel down gently. "What's going on!? Are you okay?" Twilight asked. "We're fine, everything's going great! Isn't it, Angel...?" Fluttershy asked. He had the thousand yard stare, don't mind him. "We've come to take you away from Discord! He's just terrible, and from the looks of it, completely out of control!" Twilight said. Now the house wasn't an iceberg anymore... "Oh, but you're wrong! We're making great progress!" Fluttershy said. "NO WE ARE NOT!" Gohan yelled from inside the house. "Er... Don't mind him, he's not accustomed to Discord yet..." Fluttershy said. "It doesn't look like he's being reformed..." Spike said. "I'm earning his trust by giving him some space to be himself..." Fluttershy said. "The animals are going crazy in here!" Gohan yelled. "Hate to break it to you, but he used that 'space to be himself' to tear out all the reforming spells from the library!" Spike said. "That does explain the paper eating..." Fluttershy said. "He ATE them!? UGH!" Twilight groaned. "But we aren't going to need a spell! He's already considering being reformed! He said so!" Fluttershy said. "You're actually believing him!?" Gohan asked. "Oh, hush, you're having fun." Discord said. "My sentiments exactly." Twilight said. "If I'm going to be his friend, I have to start by giving him the benefit of the doubt!" Fluttershy said. "This is too much!" Gohan yelled. "Tell you what, bring all the ponies over for a dinner party this evening, and I'll bet his manners will have really improved by then." Fluttershy said. "I'll even get him to put the cottage back on the ground..." She added. "THAT'S IT!" Gohan yelled. See, you're only looking at this from outside the cottage. You could hear a certain aura inside... See it through the windows. Maybe? "YEAAAGH!" Then the house was pushed to the ground. "Uh..." The three responded... Gohan opened the door... As a Super Saiyan. "No need... I already did it." He said. "Oh, I would've done it myself." Discord said. "In two hours!?" Gohan asked. "Why yes!" Discord said, being a troll. *** Dinner time...? Spike and the rest of the Mane 6 were approaching the house... "Ugh! I can't believe we're having a dinner party with Discord!" Rainbow Dash said. In the background, we can see those beavers from before. "This evening is sure to be a disaster. Glad I didn't bother wearing my fanciest outfit." Rarity said. She was the only one with a dress. "Fluttershy thinks this is the only way to reform Discord and asked us to give it a chance!" Twilight said. Then Discord came bursting out from the door, looking like a butler. He even has that moustache. "Oh! Our pony guests!" He said. Then he spit out a red carpet...? "We're so delighted that you'd come! Please. Do come in!" He said. ... *** This house looks different. A dining table with pillows as seats... "See what a beautiful job he did helping?" Fluttershy asked. "Discord set the entire table by himself! I'm so proud!" She said. Discord tried taking Twilight's crown... "May I take your... Hats please?" He asked. ... "Hang on to your Elements, girls, this is going to be bumpy night..." Twilight said. "It was bumpy enough watching him do this." Gohan said. Anyway... Everyone sat down and had a plate of apple pie, potatoes and... Apples. "As you all know, Princess Celestia hopes to have Discord use his magic for good instead of evil." Fluttershy said. Pinkie already dug into her potatoes... And she had a potato beard? "Pinkie Pie? Care for some gravy?" Fluttershy asked. "You bet!" Pinkie said. "Allow me!" Discord said, snapping his fingers. Then the cup of gravy grew tiny legs...? It turned into a dog, I think... It was barking and panting like one... There was a drop hanging out... "Why is the gravy defying the laws of physics...?" Gohan asked. "Ooh! What a cute little gravy boat you are!" Pinkie said, petting it...? "Yes you are! Yes you are!" She coddled. The gravy licked her? I can't tell anymore. It poured some gravy on her plate, at least. It ran all over the table. "That's one creepy gravy boat if you ask me..." Rainbow Dash said. "Oh, come on now, Dashie! You're not even giving us a chance!" Fluttershy said. The gravy ended up pouring some of itself on Rainbow Dash to burn her. "Hey! That's hot!" She yelled, flying up. Discord tried containing his laughter. "Oh- Ha... I'm so sorry!" He said. "He did that on purpose!" Rainbow Dash said. "Oh, I don't know about that! Mistakes happen!" Discord said. "Oh look! Dancing candles!" He said. There were six dancing candles on the table... ...But Rainbow Dash blew them out in an instant. "I'm not falling for that! Discord's just trying to distract us from..." She said, before she realized that the candles were flying. They all started poking her. "Hey! Knock it off! Ow! I suppose THAT'S another mistake?" She asked angrily. "No... I just think you made them mad." Discord said. "You made inanimate objects sentient!?" Gohan asked. "What do you expect?" Discord asked. "There's something fishy going on..." Twilight said. It just so happens that there was a soup terrine in the shape of a fish. It spit tomato soup right at Twilight... Then it hit Spike. It moved around the table. "Discord...?" Fluttershy asked. "Well, it's hardly my fault, it's the soup terrine's fault that it thinks 'something fishy' is offensive..." Discord said. "Not the dress, NOT THE DRESS!" Rarity pleaded. It spit at the dress. "That thing's only doing what you're making it do!" Applejack said. Then it sprayed Gohan, and, well, he opened his mouth to drink it? It kept going for a while... "Let's not jump to any conclusions..." Fluttershy said. It stopped feeding Gohan. "He's literally laughing at this." He said. Discord used his hands to cover his mouth, but he was clearly laughing. "Fluttershy, can't you see what he's doing?" Rainbow Dash asked, kicking a candle away. "He's playing innocent with you so you won't use the Elements of Harmony against him!" She said. ...Then the soup terrine sprayed her. "Oh, well, that's a bit harsh... Isn't it?" Discord said. Rainbow Dash covered the terrine in a dome... "You see what I'm saying, Fluttershy? Fluttershy!" She yelled. "You know what I see? I see that Discord's far from perfect! But I also see none of you giving him a chance!" Fluttershy said. "I am! I'm not trying to blast or fight him!" Gohan said. Everyone else was just complaining. "Why do you keep cutting him so much slack!?" Rainbow Dash asked. Fluttershy hugged Discord. "Because that's what friends do!" She said. Discord was a little surprised... "We're friends?" He asked, genuinely confused. "Why of course! I can't remember my house being this lively before you came along!" Fluttershy said. "Oh... Well... I... I've never really had a friend before..." Discord said. "Well, now you do!" Fluttershy said. Everything inanimate that was moving stopped... ...But then Angel opened the window. He tried saying something. "N-Now is not a good time, Angel, we're having a dinner party..." Fluttershy said. "Hold up! I think he's tryin' to tell us something!" Applejack said. First Angle poured a cup of water on himself... But nobody got that, so he grabbed an apple. "Apple!" Everyone said. Then he pointed at Applejack. "Applejack!" Everyone said. Nope. He got a pitcher of apple cider and put the apple in there. "Sweet Apple Acres?" Rarity asked. Yes! ~~I'll take charades for $200.~~ "Flooding at Sweet Apple Acres! And we all know who's behind that, don't we?" Rainbow Dash asked, pointing at Discord. "Who, me?" Discord asked. He suddenly had a halo... "Well, it might not be him, but I'm sure haloes only go on dead people." Gohan said. *** Holy shit! This is a fucking flood alright. It's like another lake, Jesus. What the hell, beavers? They're making Hoover Dams out of wood! Applejack's relatives were in barrels just to traverse it... "I've never seen flooding this bad! They've built dams here before, but never like this!" Applejack said. These fucking beavers and their dams... Damn you! Fluttershy tried talking, but they pretty much responded with- "Fuck off! This is OUR dam!" "Hell no we're not getting rid of it!" Fluttershy gasped. "Such language!" She said. "It's no use... They won't listen to a word I say!" She added. "Now we know Discord is behind this..." Gohan said. "Obviously! Do you all think I'm a silly, gullible fool!?" Fluttershy asked. "In this regard, you've been totally gullible!" Gohan said. Pretty much everyone else was trying to say it nicely, but the answer was yes. "I've just been trying to gain his friendship in any way I can! So that he'd come to trust and listen to me!" Fluttershy said. "Hey there, Fluttershy!" Discord said from afar... He was water skiing... Apparently those fish soup terrines were his boats? "Want a turn!? The water's great!" He yelled. He glided on his head... "Time to see if it worked..." Fluttershy said. Discord ran onto the land. "Fluttershy! Oh, there you are! A sight for sore eyes..." He said. "As you can see, there's a mess down here at Sweet Apple Acres!" Fluttershy said. "Oh, yes, awful business dam, hmm..." Discord said, drying himself with a towel. "It IS awful! This is Applejack's home! And it's being destroyed by innocent creatures who would never be acting this way if it weren't for your reckless behavior!" Fluttershy said. "You need to fix this!" She demanded. "...Well, yes, very well, I will fix it! I only ask for one thing in return..." Discord said. "Yes?" Fluttershy asked. "I ask that you never use your element of Harmony against me!" Discord said. ... "As a sign of our friendship!" Discord said. "You can't be serious..." Gohan said. Fluttershy turned to her friends, who all shook their heads. ...But, she took it off. "I will never use my Element of Harmony against you!" She said. She threw it down to Spike. "Excellent!" Discord said. He snapped his fingers. ... What the hell!? It's frozen over! "There! Much better! I do prefer ice skating to water skiing!" Discord said, skating... "Don't you!?" He asked. Then three more Discords appeared, holding up 10 signs... "Discord!" Fluttershy yelled. "That's not fixing it!" She yelled, jumping onto the ice. Discord stopped skating... Fluttershy ran at him! "Why I oughta...!" She yelled, before sliding way past Discord... "Where are you going?" Discord asked. Fluttershy couldn't really move now, but she managed to stop sliding. Discord got in front of her. "What's wrong, pal?" He asked. "Don't call me your pal!" Fluttershy said. "Oh, come skating with me! And we'll let bygones be bygones!" Discord said, making skates appear for a pony. "Discord!" Gohan yelled. "Oh, right, you." Discord said. Gohan was running at him. "I have a bone to pi-" Suddenly, all the way from his neck to his feet, he was in a block of ice. He stopped in place on the ice. ... "...Really?" He asked. He burst free, relaxing his arms and legs, and- Damn it, again!? "Come on!" He yelled. Discord kept laughing. Gohan jumped towards him, and...! ...Fell on the front. "What are you gonna do now?" Discord asked. "That's it! Body slam!" Gohan yelled. "Body wha-" Gohan threw his icey self right at Discord's face! He got a direct hit! So now there's a block of ice just floating there. "How's that for nothing?" Gohan asked. He moved himself forward and back, as if jabbing with his body. "Ha! Ha! Hyah! I know it looks like I'm a master, but I'm really grasping to not fall off balance." He said. "Wow... Nice hit." Spike said. "He fixes this or goes back to being stone!" Twilight yelled. "What she said." Gohan said. Fluttershy had to choose... Let Gohan go full power on Discord? Or let Discord go free... "...Gohan, don't attack him, please..." She said. "What!?" Everyone but Discord asked. Fluttershy took the tied skates by the mouth... But she still looked pissed. Yeah, nobody's happy. Except Discord. "Yes! Haha! You see? She wants to have fun with me because WE'RE friends! She doesn't want the kid to attack me because we're friends! She can't use the Elements against me because we're friends! I'm free forever!" He bragged. Then he cackled. "I can still defy her, you know." Gohan said. It's funny that a floating block of ice is telling him that. But... "I'M... NOT! YOUR! FRIEND!" Fluttershy yelled, hurling those skates aside. "Who cares? I can do whatever I want, whenever I want!" Discord said. "I'm still here!" Gohan yelled. "I'm Discord! The master of chaos!" Discord yelled. Fluttershy was angrily trotting away. Discord teleported so that he was skating beside her... "You think you could boss Discord around? You think I'm just going to turn all this back because you say so? Because if I don't, I'll lose the one friend I ever had?" He asked. Then it hit him. He stopped skating, and... Looked genuinely remorseful... "Oh... Oh... W...Well played Fluttershy... Well played." He said. He sat atop a tree... And he undid everything with a snap. The dam was gone and everything was back to normal. Yes, even Gohan wasn't stuck in an ice cube anymore. Yes! Success! "I like it better my way, but... I guess when you're friends, you can't exactly have things your way all the time..." Discord said. *** We did it, America. I know what you're saying, "What did we do?" ~~"I'm not American!"~~ We did it. "What?" It. Anyway... Then when everyone's Cutie mark was changed, it was stupid. But it was for the best. Also, this is another one I should've done. ~~I fucking hate you, past me!~~ *** What beautiful day! Gohan was soaring the skies. The clear skies... Nobody stopping him now. Bright smile, having such a good time. Holding no ball. Nobody stop him now- A cloud nearly smashed into him! "What the-" He quickly stopped in the air. ... The clouds are flying everywhere... "Wait, is Discord doing something again?" He said to himself. Then some lightning came at him. "Woah!" He yelled, punching it away. The spark eventually disappeared from his sight. ... "...I didn't think that was possible for me... Whatever." He said. 'Well, the clouds are erratic but not pink... I think it isn't Discord.' He thought. And below him, in Ponyville... Yeah, see... Rarity was using her magic to move storm clouds all over the fucking place. And a bunch of ponies are complaining that she sucks ass at her job. Gohan flew down to this... scene. Apparently it's all stupid. The crowd was yelling at her. "You stink!" "We demand a better weatherpony!" And the sorts. He landed beside Twilight. "Oh, thank goodness you're here." Twilight said. "Can you explain to me what's happening...?" Gohan asked. Then he saw Rarity's cutie mark... It was Rainbow Dash's? "Why...?" He asked. "I don't know...! Rarity said Rainbow Dash was at her cottage...?" Twilight asked. "Okay, I think I sorta get it now." Gohan said. "You're not different, are you?" Twilight asked. "I don't feel any different..." Gohan said. "Neither does she..." Twilight said. "I can only imagine how Rainbow Dash is." Gohan said. *** Well, those two and Spike were now heading to Fluttershy's cottage. Or... Well, you'll see. "I still don't know what you had to wake me up for. I love sleeping in the rain." Spike said. "It's not about the weather, Spike. Rarity had Rainbow Dash's cutie mark and said this was Rainbow Dash's cottage." Twilight said. "Which doesn't make sense at all." Gohan said. They approached the door, and Twilight knocked... Rainbow Dash poked her head out through the door. "...Hey guys..." She said. "Rainbow Dash, why is Rarity doing your job?" Twilight asked. There was a loud smash. So Rainbow Dash zipped back inside. Gohan opened the door completely. "And what in Equestria is going on in... here?" Twilight asked. Every animal was out of control, holy shit. "And you have Fluttershy's cutie mark... Crapbaskets." Gohan said. "Gah! Can't you just get them to stand still for one moment!?" Rainbow Dash asked. She was clearly angry with them... "You're doing it all wrong, you need to tend to them one at a time." Gohan said. Rainbow Dash shoved Gummy, a tiny alligator into a birdcage... "Look." Gohan said, going to a cat that was ruining the curtains with it's claws. "Hey there...!" He said with a dumb voice. The cat wanted to gouge his eyes out. "It's going to be okay..." Gohan said, petting it once. *** Well, those three were out the door. Gohan had a bunch of scratch marks on his face. "Well, that was a bust. I should've remembered that Fluttershy told me that was the cat who hated petting." He said. "Oh... I hope Fluttershy has it a bit better..." Twilight said. "Well, she's at Sugarcube Corner... So that can't be good." Gohan said. *** Fluttershy was trying to make a crowd of ponies laugh... Failing miserably. She tried blowing a balloon and letting it loose, but nobody gave a shit. She wore a funny nose and mustache with glasses... And still nobody gave a shit. Someone pulled Fluttershy away before she made an even worse fool of herself. Behind a cabinet... Where our three were... "Fluttershy! What are you doing?" Twilight whispered. "I'm just doing what I normally do..." Fluttershy said. "But you normally take care of animals." Gohan said. "No, that's Rainbow Dash's job... I'm a disgrace at this job, but I have to do it. It's why I have my cutie mark..." Fluttershy said. "Pinkie Pie's cutie mark, huh?" Gohan asked. "I-I'm sorry, I have to get back to work..." Fluttershy said. "I may not be good, but it's all I can do...!" She said optimistically. I don't even see how that's optimistic. She went back to fucking up even worse. Twilight sighed. "This isn't good... What happened to Pinkie...?" She asked. "I don't want to answer that." Gohan said. *** Wow, Pinkie was fucking up worse than Fluttershy. Gohan, Twilight and Spike all watched in sorrow as they watched Pinkie fail to pick apples, move a plow, and do all sorts of farmwork. It was just sad to watch... I mean, Pinkie couldn't even kick the trees correctly. She had a flat mane. She bent her backhooves the wrong way every time she kicked a tree. Sometimes it defied logic...? "Pinkie..." Twilight said. "I know, I know, I'm not kickin' it right!" Pinkie said, with a southern accent. "...You're kicking a dead tree." Gohan said. And yes, there were no leaves on that tree whatsoever. "Aw, shoot. Better get to another one..." Pinkie said. She walked away. "This isn't good either." Spike said. "But, she kept saying the same thing." Gohan said. "It's what I have to do! My cutie mark says so...!" "What about Applejack!?" Twilight asked. Applejack's cutie mark... Fuck. *** Applejack was at least doing something... But her cutie mark was Rarity's. You know what that means? All her dresses were like shit! They even smelled like shit! ~~I mean, Filthy Frank's gonna pop up, yelling:~~ ~~"IT SMELLS LIKE SHIT IN HERE!"~~ Anyway. "Applejack, what the heck are you doing...?" Twilight asked. "Making dresses... Like my cutie mark says." Applejack said. She just broke her sewing machine. "But that's not- Ugh..." Gohan sighed. "Well, Rarity's stuck with the weather, so..." Twilight said. "Do you have any idea as to how this happened? I am just lost." Gohan said. "Well, maybe... Follow me." Twilight said, walking away. They left the boutique... "Come back anytime, y'all!" Applejack said. ... ~~"MAAAAN! IT STILL SMELLS LIKE SHIT!~~ *** Well, the library. "This is bad. This is very, very bad!" Twilight said. "You don't need to capitalize the point, we all get it." Gohan said. "What's going on? Why is this happening?!" Spike asked. "Last night when you were taking one of your seven-hour bubble baths..." Twilight said. "Seven hours!? How do you do that?" Gohan asked. "How do you train for that long?" Spike asked. "Huh. Good point." Gohan said. "Anyway... I got a special delivery from the princess." Twilight said. Let's cut to last night... *** Twilight read a letter from Celestia. "Dear Twilight Sparkle, The spell contained on the last page of this book is Star Swirl the Bearded's secret unfinished masterpiece." She read aloud. She gasped excitedly. "Ooh!" "He was never able to get it right, and thus abandoned it. I believe you are the only pony who can understand and rewrite it. Princess Celestia." Then she opened the book, and flipped to the last page. She read what was there... "'From one to another, another to one. A mark of one's destiny singled out alone, fulfilled.' That doesn't make any sense. It doesn't even rhyme!" Twilight said. The Elements of Harmony, which just so happened to be on display behind her, all changed colors. Except her's. "I cast the spell so I could find out what it was, but nothing seemed to happen." Twilight said. Let's cut back to the present. "But now I know something DID happen. The spell has changed the Elements of Harmony! That must be why their cutie marks are all wrong!" She said. Those Elements were on display... Completely wrong colors. "So YOU did it?" Gohan asked. "I didn't mean to...!" Twilight said, stressed out. "I understand the feeling..." Gohan said. 'Well, sorry, dad.' He thought. "But we can find a way." He said. "Yeah! Just cast a counter spell to switch them back." Spike said. Twilight looked through the book... "There IS no counter spell!" She said. "Then we are totally screwed." Gohan said. "Why don't you just use that memory spell you used to fix everypony when Discord was here?" Spike asked. "Memory can't change physical and magical attributes, Spike." Gohan said. "Yeah! It's not their memory, it's their true self that's been altered!" Twilight said. "Zecora's cure for the Cutie Pox?" Spike asked. "This isn't a case of Cutie Pox." Gohan said. "That won't work...!" Twilight said, throwing the book to Gohan. Twilight went up the stairs to her room. "I'm sure we can find a way, Twilight!" Gohan said. "I don't think there's a way...!" Twilight said, stopping short. "Well, maybe it won't be so bad. Maybe our friends will grow to like their new lives." Spike said. "No, Spike. They're not who they are meant to be anymore. Their destinies are now changed, and it's all my fault..." Twilight said, with teary eyes. She went into her room. "Well, Spike, it's just you and me now." Gohan said. "I don't know what to do." Spike said. "Yeah... Me neither." Gohan said. ... "...You wanna help?" He asked. "Actually... I think I'll go to bed. I wanted to sleep in." Spike said. So he went up those stairs. ... '...Crapbaskets.' Gohan thought. "Well, only one thing to do." He muttered. He started by reading through that book Twilight had. ...No lead. Then he started looking for any spells with cutie marks... Went through a lot of books. "There's NO spell related to this!?" He said to himself. Then he sighed. "I think I need the chalkboard." He said to himself. *** It's been an entire day. Twilight was moping in bed before finally going to bed. Spike slept the entire day and night... But he got up. Uh... Gohan's sleeping on a pile of books. He has bags under his eyes. There's a chalkboard with all sorts of math. And it's only been a day, and everyone's fucked up so bad that they're homeless and shiet. Pinkie ruined every tree and crop down at the farm... Fluttershy is scared of being bad at entertaining, and now resides in a fountain. Rainbow Dash is just contemplating suicide because of all these fucking animals. Applejack has to close down the boutique, everyone hates it. And Rarity doesn't seem to have a home either, she's stuck in the rain. Nobody even wants to be near her. This is a fucked up episode, now that I think about it... Twilight woke up, still moping. She looked out the window... It was raining. ... Spike walked by... ... "Oh, Spike, what have I done?" Twilight asked. "Aw, come on, Twilight, you'll figure out a way to fix this. These are your friends." Spike said. ... "You're right, Spike." Twilight said. She got out of bed, and raced downstairs! ...To find Gohan sleeping on a pile of books. He did a lot of math on that chalkboard. Twilight nudged him awake. Gohan groaned as he slightly opened his eyes. "Good morning..." Twilight said. "No, dad, we don't want the house smelling like bacon... Huh?" Gohan asked, actually waking up. He sat up. "Is it morning?" He asked. "Yeah... It looks like you worked hard yesterday." Spike said. "I can't find a clue. I went through all these spellbooks and nothing." Gohan said. "I don't know how we can help our friends." He said. "I know... They mean more to me than anything..." Twilight said, walking up to a framed photo of the seven... ...Holy shit, why is she glowing purple? "My friends..." She said with a smile. "Twilight...? Are you alright?" Spike asked. "You are emitting about 10000 lumens of light! That's unusual...!" Gohan said. Twilight had magic in her eyes now... "I've got it! I know what to do!" She said. "You do!?" Gohan and Spike asked. "You managed to do it in five seconds, and it took me all day!" Gohan complained. Twilight grabbed the Elements of Harmony and it's respective chest. "I may not be able to remind them of who they are, but I can show them what they mean to each other." She said. She put the Elements in the chest, while putting on her crown. "They'll find the part of themselves that's been lost so they can help the friend they care about so much!" She said. "That makes a lot of sense! I wonder how I never thought of that..." Gohan said. Twilight gave the chest to Gohan. "Come on, you too!" She said, running out the door. "Yes ma'am!" The two yelled, following her. *** Yeah, see... Fluttershy had a packed bag. She was headed towards a hot air balloon... She gave the pilot some bits. "Fluttershy, wait!" Twilight said. The three got to her... "Oh... Hey Twilight... Hey Gohan... Hey Spike..." Fluttershy said. "Where are you going...?" Gohan asked. "I'm moving back to Cloudsdale. I don't know what's wrong, but I can't seem to make anypony laugh." Fluttershy said, pulling out a whoopie cushion. She deflated it, but it made a horrible sound. "Before you go, I was wondering if you might be willing to help Rainbow Dash. She's really struggling with her animals." Twilight said. "But... I don't really know anything about animals..." Fluttershy said. "Well, maybe not yet, but what do you know about Rainbow Dash?" Gohan asked. "...I... know that she's a true friend, and I'll do anything I can to help her." Fluttershy said. "Great!" Spike said. *** That cottage... Again. Walking up to it... It seemed quiet. Then the door got banged on, and screaming was heard. Then a bunch of animals were screaming. "In here!" Rainbow Dash yelled. "Rainbow Dash!" Twilight yelled. Gohan kicked the door open, luckily not damaging it. A bunch of animals were marching around a giant pot... With Rainbow Dash inside. "Help! I'm trapped!" She yelled, all tied up. All the animals had forks and spoons... Gohan was about to race in, but Twilight put a hoof on his shoulder. "Hurry, Twilight! Can't you do some sort of spell to get her out?" Fluttershy asked. "No. Fluttershy." Twilight said. "Gohan, can't you get her out...?" Fluttershy asked. "No, you're the only one who can help!" Gohan said. "Rainbow Dash needs YOU!" Twilight said. Yeah, they're about ready to cut her open. Fluttershy gulped as she approached the animals... "Um... Hello?" She asked. They were all going crazy. "Little... woodland... creatures?" Fluttershy asked. A bear used a fucking table as a back scratcher. Fluttershy went to a mouse. "I know that you're all very upset and feel like giving Rainbow Dash a hard time..." She said. Then the animals started paying attention to her. "...But we'd all really appreciate it if you'd calm down and, um, maybe... rest for a bit?" She asked. All of them stood at attention with her around! Well, they were waiting for her to do something. "Oh, Uh... look!" Fluttershy said, pulling out a salad. "Here's some nice, juicy leaves for you to munch on. And some crunchy, munchy acorns too." She said, laying those out for the squirrels. "Uh, wouldn't you like to take a break and have a little snack?" She asked. All the animals dropped the weapons and silverwear... Every animal had their food to eat... "Aww, look at that. I guess you were all just cranky because you were hungry." Fluttershy said. Then Angel jumped to give her a hug... Then a few birds surrounded her. "Oh, you are very welcome, little friends." She said. Then the bear grabbed her to kiss her on the forehead and give her a hug... Then she started glowing pink. "Goodness, it's like I can understand them!" She said. Gohan, Twilight, and Spike looked happy... Gohan gave the chest to Spike. "Hold it for a moment." He said, opening it. He took out her element of Harmony... "I... I feel strange, like... like this is what I'm meant to do, like this is who I am! My destiny!" Fluttershy said. Gohan threw the element right at her neck! ...No, it didn't chop her head off. Then, as soon as the necklace got on her... She remembered EVERYTHING. She eventually collapsed... But got right back up. "Wha... What happened...?" She asked. "Fluttershy, look! Your cutie mark!" Twilight said. Yeah... It was back to normal! "It worked! It worked! Oh, I'm so happy you're back to normal! Now we need your help!" She said. "I hear a musical number coming." Gohan whispered to Spike. "Same here." Spike said. "I'm not a singer, so... Have fun." Gohan said. Then Twilight started singing... "A true, true friend helps a friend in need... A friend will be there to help them see!" Then Fluttershy joined in... "A true, true friend helps a friend in need! To see the light that shines from a true, true friend!" They sang. Then Rainbow Dash spoke up. "Um, hello? Friend trapped inside, remember?" She asked. Gohan removed the rope for her. Rainbow Dash flew out of the pot. "Thanks!" She said. *** Now we're at Ponyville, where Rarity was fucking up so badly. "Rarity needs your help! She's trying hard, doing what she can..." Twilight sang. Rainbow Dash didn't seem like she was willing to help... But Fluttershy sang. "Would you try, just give it a chance... You might find that you'll start to understand!" She sang. Rainbow Dash flew up to kick a cloud... Then she got the hang of it. Now she was flying everywhere, using tornadoes to clear the skies... "A true, true friend helps a friend in need! A friend will be there to help you see! A true, true friend helps a friend in need!" Twilight and Fluttershy sang. Rainbow Dash started glowing red... So Gohan opened the chest and took out her element. He hurled that son of a bitch right into her neck! Then all her memories came back to her... "To see the light that shines from a true, true friend!" Twilight and Fluttershy sang. Rainbow Dash ended up collapsing, but getting straight back up. "Uh, what just happened?" She asked. "There's no time to explain, but we need your help." Twilight said. "Applejack's trying to make dresses." Gohan said. Then Rainbow Dash knew what the hell was happening... "Say no more!" She said. Now our group turned to Rarity. *** At the boutique, all boarded up and full of bad and smelly dresses... ~~"I'M GOING TO CALL CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES!"~~ "Applejack needs your help! She's trying hard, doing what she can..." Rainbow Dash sang. Yeah, Applejack just broke the sewing machine again. She really didn't know what she was doing, and started crying... Rarity went to help! "Would you try, just give it a chance... You might find that you'll start to understand!" Rainbow Dash sang. Rarity started by taking the fabric and properly cutting it... Twilight just threw out all of Applejack's dresses... Applejack smiled at that... "A true, true friend helps a friend in need! A friend will be there to help them see!" Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy and Twilight sang. Rarity started making a dress of her own with different kinds of methods... Looking at diagrams and shiet. "A true, true friend helps a friend in need! To see the light that shines from a true, true friend!" They sang. Gohan pulled out her element! Why? Now Rarity was glowing purple. So he chucked that son of a bitch at her neck. Then all the memories came flooding back to her... She ended up collapsing on the table. Her cutie mark was back... "Oh my, what a terrible dream I had!" She said. Then she noticed Applejack and her dress... "...Or, maybe I'm still having it." She said. "Rarity, Pinkie Pie is about to lose the apple farm. We need Applejack's help!" Twilight said. "Lose the apple farm? Well we can't let that happen, now can we?" Rarity asked. She grabbed Applejack, singing... "Pinkie Pie is in trouble! We need to get there by her side!" She sang. *** Now we're at the farm... Jesus Christ, every crop is dead. How are they gonna fix this shit? "We can try to do what we can now! For together we can be her guide!" Rarity sang. Applejack helped her fix that damn pipe... Which was the start of this whole thing. "A true, true friend helps a friend in need! A friend will be there to help them see!" Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Rarity and Twilight sang... This is going to get long. Applejack was bucking trees properly, her siblings were farming the right way... And now she started glowing again. Gohan grabbed the element... "A true, true friend helps a friend in need! To see the light that shines from a true, true friend!" They sang... Gohan hurled it at Applejack! All the memories came back to her... Well, no collapsing, but she has her cutie mark now. "Yeehaw! Now that's more like it! What's next?" Applejack asked. "The townspeople are furious. We need the old Pinkie Pie back." Gohan said. "I'm on it. I know just the thing." Applejack said. *** Now Applejack was carrying Pinkie into Ponyville... Weird. "The townspeople need you, They've been sad for a while!" Applejack sang. Yeah, every pony is fucking mad as shit. Just looking at each other makes them wanna kill each other. "They march around, face a-frown, and never seem to smile! And if you feel like helpin', we'd appreciate a lot!" Applejack sang/yelled so loudly everyone can hear her. Gohan put that damn element on her, Applejack put a funny glasses/nose/mustache mask on her and pushed her in front of the crowd. "If you'd get up there and spread some cheer! From here to Canterlot!" Applejack sang. Pinkie got all her memories back just like that... "Come on ponies, I wanna see you SMILE!" Pinkie yelled, getting all her attributes back. The poofy Mane and cutie mark... Then all the ponies shouted- "PINKIE!" *** Now we're marching through the town...! The band and chorus are playing along. "A true, true friend helps a friend in need! A friend will be there to help them see! A true, true friend helps a friend in need! To see the light!" The Mane 6 sang... "See the light!" The Chorus sang. "That shines!" Everyone but the chorus sang. "That shines!" The chorus sang. Then Twilight pulled the rest of the Mane 6 in for a huge hug... "From a true, true friend!" They sang. Leaving Gohan out, eh? He's heavy, I guess... They all got back on the ground... Then Twilight thought about the spell. 'A mark of one's destiny, singled out alone, fulfilled.' She thought. Then she gasped. "What?" Gohan asked. "Wait a second, that's it! I understand now! I know how to fix the spell!" Twilight said. "D-Didn't we already fix it, though...?" Gohan asked. *** Twilight ran back into her library... Grabbing the book, and a quill. The rest of our gang came in and watched. "From all of us together, together we're friends. With the marks of our destinies made one, there is magic without end!" Twilight wrote and said! And with that, her element shines brightly. Then it let out magical shockwaves and an even brighter light. "50,000 lumens!" Gohan yelled. "NERRRD!" Rainbow Dash yelled. Then Twilight was enveloped in a white ball... Then the rest of the Mane 6 had their Elements uncontrollably blast into the ball... Then the brightest light came from it! Nobody could see shit for a nanosecond. Once they could all see... "Was that 600,000 lumens of light?" Gohan asked. Well, the more important question is- "What happened!?" Fluttershy asked. Then Twilight was gone. Yep, she left a burn of her cutie mark behind. "Where'd she go!?" Applejack asked. "I mean... I think she's in that burn? I can feel her inside it, but you can't actually enter it...?" Gohan asked. He poked it, and just as suspected... "I'm confused." He said. *** Welcome to a ripoff of that scene in Harry Potter! Twilight's in some different plane of existence... "Hello...? Where am I? What is this place?" She asked. Her words echoed... Then Celestia walked in out of nowhere... "Congratulations, Twilight. I knew you could do it." She said. Her words echoed too. Twilight walked up to her. "Princess... I don't understand. What did I do?" She asked. "You did something today that's never been done before. Something even a great unicorn like Star Swirl the Bearded was not able to do, because he did not understand friendship like you do. The lessons you've learned here in Ponyville have taught you well. You have proven that you're ready, Twilight." Celestia said. She started walking... "Ready? Ready for what...?" Twilight asked. Then a bunch of images of her past experiences with her friends popped up like a gallery. Oh, shit, a musical number. Let's just skip all that... *** Our friends were outside the Treehouse... At night. "I give up, I can't tell where she is, but I can sense her." Gohan said. Then, in the night sky... A giant cutie mark of Twilight appeared! It slowly shrunk and flew down in front of our group. "Twilight?" Gohan asked. There was a giant flash of light... And a silhouette of Twilight... "Is that you, Twilight?" Applejack asked. Then we can see Twilight... With a minor adjustment. She got herself up... And revealed her wings! With even more light! And glitter! Everyone gasped. "E-Evolution!? That rapid!?" Gohan asked. Twilight didn't even understand why her wings are there... "Wha... I-I've never seen anything like it!" Applejack said, completely flabbergasted. Well, everyone is. "Ha! Twilight's got wings! Awesome! A new flying buddy!" Rainbow Dash said, hugging Twilight. She chuckled. "Why, you've become an Alicorn. I didn't even know that was possible." Rarity said. "That's scientifically impossible! No recorded data of an organism that large evolving so rapidly exists!" Gohan said. "Gohan, you're too much of an egghead!" Rainbow Dash said. "I'm not even mad... I'm just gladly shocked. Your power rose exponentially!" Gohan said. Then Pinkie flew with a rope attached to... The sky? She had fake wings and a party hat as a horn... "ALICORN PARTY!" She screamed, blowing a kazoo. Confetti and balloons flew everywhere... Makes no sense. "Wow! You look just like a princess!" Fluttershy said. "That's because she is a princess." Celestia said. She flew in... Yeah- Nobody understood what the fuck she just said. "Hold on a second!" Pinkie said. She pulled out a glass of water, drank it... ...Only to spit it out. "...A... A princess...!?" Twilight asked. "Since you've come to Ponyville, you've displayed the charity, compassion, devotion, integrity, optimism, and of course, the leadership of a true princess." Celestia said. "Wait a second!" Pinkie said. "So what's that make him?" She asked, pointing a hoof at Gohan. "A simple minded warrior. I'm not worthy of that kind of title." Gohan said. "But... does this mean I won't be your student anymore?" Twilight asked. "Not in the same way as before. I'll still be here to help and guide you, but we're all your students now, too. You are an inspiration to us all, Twilight." Celestia said. She bowed to Twilight... So did Rarity. Then Fluttershy... Then Rainbow, Applejack, Pinkie, and Spike... And Gohan got on one knee before bowing. Twilight was still trying to take it all in... We're throwing a lot at her. "But... what do I do now? Is there a book about being a princess I should read?" Twilight asked. "There will be time for all of that later." Celestia said, giggling. *** Well... Now, it's time... For Equestria Girls! Author's Note Finally. Those edits are done. After two damn months, it's finally over, damn it! I really hope this is a lot better than my previous pathetic excuse for a chapter... I was in a rush to get to Equestria Girls... But, now I somewhat rectified the mistake. Please, tell me what you think of the new edits. I tried as hard as I could. Equestria GirlsAuthor's Note This is a feature chapter. Jesus that sounds stupid. Just enjoy. Equestria Girls Gohan, Spike and the Mane 6 were visiting the Crystal Empire! "Whooee!" Applejack said. "You said it. You guys watched me sleep here!" Gohan joked. "Y-Yeah, hah!" Twilight laughed. "And I finally left my sword at home." Gohan said. "Your very first princess summit! You must be excited, Twilight. You should be over the moon!" Applejack said. "Yes, I am excited, but I'm a little nervous too!" Twilight said. "You're nervouciting! It's like you want to jump up and yell YAY ME!" Pinkie Pie said, doing that. "But you also want to curl up into a teeny tiny ball and hide at the same time!" She said, doing that too. "We've all been there!" Pinkie Pie said, noogieing Twilight. "I'm there almost everyday..." Fluttershy said. "Everything's gonna be okay, Twilight." Applejack said. "TWILIGHT! I just realized your not wearing your crown!" Rarity said. "It's in my bag." Twilight said. Spike was patting the bag. Or suitcase, really. "Just feeling a little self conscious about wearing it." Twilight said. "Oh, don't be afraid Twilight. I know a guy who's technically a king but boasts he's a prince but doesn't do prince stuff." Gohan reassured. "That confused me more than Pinkie." Twilight said. "Sorry. Carry on." Gohan said. *** The eight met the three princesses in the throne room. "Twilight! I haven't seen you since the coronation!" Cadence said. "We have so much to discuss. But it can wait until tomorrow." Celestia said. "You all look tired from your journey. Now off to bed." Celestia said. *** Each pony/person had their own room. Gohan only packed a gi, and his formal wear along with a few bits. He was just about ready to crash until he sensed something odd. Everyone was rushing out of their rooms, along with another pony. Gohan rushed to a different room where everyone was. Twilight's crown was sent flying into a mirror! The pony, known as Sunset Shimmer, ran in after it. "GET BACK HERE!" Gohan yelled, dashing into the portal after her. All the ponies gasped. *** Gohan opened his eyes... It was daytime despite it being Night? Gohan got himself up. He wasn't changed a bit. But he did notice something different. It scared him so much. Oh so bad. He was at a high school! Well, that's not so bad. But the bad part was he saw other humans!? "W-What!?" Gohan asked. He began to think the mirror led him back to Earth again. 'N-Now Piccolo, Trunks and the others are going to kill me!' Gohan thought. But he couldn't sense anyone familiar. He would at least sense Vegeta, he would be training. Unless he died... Whatever, he didn't want to think about it. "W-Would anyone like to help at the animal shelter?" He heard. Gohan looked to the other side of the statue he was beside to see... What. What!? WHAT!? WHAAAT!? A human FLUTTERSHY!? 'H-Hang on, this could be a coincidence! Unless there's a Rainbow Dash... And an Applejack... And everyone else.' Gohan thought. The girl sat down and began to cry. Nobody was willing to help her at the animal shelter. "A-Are you okay?" Gohan asked. She looked up at Gohan. 'This is definitely Fluttershy.' Gohan thought. "O-Oh! Uh... Hello..." Fluttershy said, looking down again. "I-I'm interested in this animal shelter." Gohan said, trying to make her feel better. "R-Really!?" Fluttershy asked, perking up. She stood up. Gohan was three quarters the size of Fluttershy. He had to look up at her. She gave him a paper about the animal shelter. "I-I'll see you there... What's your name?" Fluttershy asked. "Son Gohan. Just Gohan will be nice." Gohan said. "I-I'm Fluttershy. Thank you so much!" Fluttershy said, going away. 'Huh. So this is a humanized world?' Gohan thought. "GET INSIDE! ITS TIME FOR CLASS!" A student yelled. "Uh... Doh, whatever." Gohan said, running slowly to the school door. 'I can't forget what I have to do. Get Twilight's crown back.' He thought to himself. He entered the school to see... Well, a school. There were students everywhere. 'Hm... I saw a bacon-like pony on the other side, so I should look for that.' Gohan thought. All of the people looked similar to their pony counterparts! Gohan traversed the crowded hallways, struggling to hide his strength. By not knocking into people. The bell rang, and everyone went into their classes. Well, except for Gohan. He just stood in the empty halls. "I'd say that pony ran to this school..." Gohan said to himself. He sensed another presence approaching. So, he hid in the boys bathroom until it passed. Maybe the principal was passing by? As the person left, Gohan sighed. He left the bathroom and looked around. He saw the trophy case. But something, or someone caught his eye. It was Twilight. He noticed the dog, which looked like Spike, talking. "We need to get you a mirror." He said. Then Twilight noticed Gohan roaming the halls. "Gohan?" Twilight asked. Gohan rushed over to Twilight, who was by the door. She was also a fourth taller than Gohan. "Gohan? You're still regular?" Twilight asked. "Why are you a person all of a sudden?" Gohan asked. "I don't know! It's all so confusing!" Twilight said. "And Spike, you're a dog?" Gohan asked. "Yeah, its confusing!" Spike said. "I imagined you would be bigger than me." Twilight said, looking down at Gohan. "I'm only a kid. You're an adult, technically." Gohan said. "Yeah, okay." Twilight said. Then the bell rang. The hallway was filled with students yet again. (End of homeroom and now starting first period) "I'm really sorry, I just found it, and I thought I should give it to her!" Gohan and Twilight heard. It was Fluttershy. "Wait..." Gohan said. The three ran over to where Fluttershy were. "I didn't know you had dropped it..." Fluttershy said. "Well I did! And I was about to get it before you swooped in and ruined everything! You shouldn't pick up things that don't belong to you." Sunset Shimmer said, pointing at Fluttershy. "Hey!" Gohan called. Fluttershy was shocked to see Gohan. Sunset Shimmer turned around. "Oh, it's karate kid. What, are you going to protect her with your bad karate?" Sunset Shimmer mocked. "No, I was thinking you shouldn't pick on others." Gohan said. "Hah! This is hilarious. You're pathetic, you know that?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "Besides, what's... Uh... Bacon hair girl going to do? Weren't you the one who took the crown?" Gohan asked. "It's MY crown!" Sunset Shimmer said. "Um... Well, technically it isn't..." Fluttershy mumbled. Sunset Shimmer slammed her hands against the locker, trapping Fluttershy. "What did you say!?" Sunset Shimmer shouted. "Oh, um... Nevermind..." Fluttershy said. Gohan tapped on Sunset Shimmer's shoulder. "Seriously. You can't just prance around and talking like that." Gohan said. "Yeah! Be nice!" Twilight shouted. "You two must be new here. I can speak to anyone any way I want!" Sunset Shimmer said, walking away. "Is she some sort of spoiled kid?" Gohan asked. "I-I can't believe you did that!" Fluttershy said. "Did what?" Gohan asked. "Y-You stood up to Sunset Shimmer... Nobody does that!" Fluttershy said. "Sunset Shimmer?" Twilight asked. "Is that someone you know, Twilight?" Gohan asked. "Well, yes. Kind of." Twilight said. "Gohan? Are you two transfer students from another school?" Fluttershy asked. "Uh... Yes. We're from Orange Star High School." Gohan made up. "Yes... Anyway, I'm Twilight Sparkle." Twilight said. "I'm... Fluttershy." Fluttershy said inaudibly. "Sorry, what was that?" Twilight asked. "It's Fluttershy." Fluttershy said with a higher voice. "It sounds like you're saying Fluttershy? But how is that possible?" Twilight asked. "Y-You weren't this shy when we met?" Gohan asked. "Sorry!" Fluttershy said. Then Spike walked to beside Twilight. Fluttershy noticed, and immediately became excited. "Oh my goodness!" She exclaimed, rushing to hug Spike. "Who's this sweet little guy!?" She asked. "That's Spike! My... Dog!" Twilight said. "Oh, he's so cute!" Fluttershy said, holding Spike. She reached into her bag for a treat. "Come on, eat up little pup!" Fluttershy said. Spike took a small bite, but then swallowed it whole. "Oh, wouldn't you just give anything to know what they're really thinking?" Fluttershy asked. Twilight looked at Gohan. "You can read minds, right?" She whispered. "Only if I put my hand on their head." Gohan whispered. "Anyway, Sunset Shimmer said you picked a crown up?" Twilight asked. "How did you know?" Fluttershy asked. "I mean, we already told you we knew the existence of it." Gohan said. "Do you still have it?" Twilight asked. Fluttershy shook her head. "But you know what happened to it." Twilight asked. Fluttershy nodded. "This morning, I was passing out flyers for the animal shelter." Fluttershy said. *** Fluttershy was passing out flyers for the animal shelter. But, nobody cared to listen. She was also too quiet. A crown came out of nowhere, and Fluttershy gave it to Principal Celestia. She went back to trying to hand flyers out again, but then she gave up. Then Gohan appeared. *** "And that's how I know this little guy." Fluttershy said, pointing at Gohan. "Principal Celestia? She's the ruler here?" Twilight asked. "I... I guess you could say that. She and Vice Principal Luna do make the rules around here..." Fluttershy said. "So... The crown is with the principal?" Gohan asked. "Yes." Fluttershy said. "Where's her office?" Twilight asked. "Third door on the left." Fluttershy said. "Thanks, Fluttershy." Gohan said, walking away with Twilight. "Oh, by the way, you can't have pets on school grounds. It's best you tuck him into your backpack." Fluttershy said. So, Gohan stuffed Spike gently into Twilight's bag. "It's what I do." Fluttershy said, showing her bag full of animals. The bell rang. "Oh man, it's class. You're on your own Twilight." Fluttershy said. *** Twilight had met Principal Celestia. The bell rang. Twilight was going to run for Princess of the Fall Formal. She stepped out of the principal's office. "I'm going to run for Princess of the Fall Formal!" Twilight said. "What's the Fall Formal?" Gohan asked. "I... Have no clue. Actually, it's like the Gala." Twilight asked. "Why are you running for it?" Gohan asked. "It's the only way I can get my crown back." Twilight said. "Oh. Well, how can we apply?" Gohan asked. "I have no idea!" Twilight said triumphantly. The bell rang again, and it was lunchtime. *** "Oh no, we don't have money or food!" Gohan said. They were in the lunchroom. Or cafeteria. "Don't worry." Fluttershy said. "The food they serve here is free!" She added. "Oh, cool!" Gohan said. Twilight leaned into Gohan's ear. "But what if it's not enough?" She whispered. "I'll fast." Gohan whispered back. Gohan, Twilight and Fluttershy all got their trays of lunch. Twilight and Fluttershy got a veggie burger and a fruit bowl. Gohan got the same... Except he took two of each. "Are you sure you can eat all that?" Fluttershy asked. "It's not enough, bu- I mean, yes. I didn't eat breakfast." Gohan corrected. "I know we just met, but I need your help with something." Twilight said. "Sure." Fluttershy said. "I'm running for Princess of the Fall Formal." Twilight said. Fluttershy dropped her fruit bowl in surprise, and accidentally spilled some fruit and jello on Gohan. "Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry!" Fluttershy said, grabbing many napkins. "Oh no, don't worry, I can dry this myself." Gohan said. "Are you sure?" Fluttershy asked, holding the many napkins in her arms. "Uh... Yeah! Just..." Gohan said, placing his hand on the stain. He didn't show his ki, but his ki produced enough heat to dry. "There." Gohan said. Luckily, Fluttershy wasn't looking when she got another fruit bowl. "I'm sorry, but running for Princess is a really horrible idea!" Fluttershy said. "Why? Is Sunset Shimmer going to run?" Gohan joked. "Yes!" Fluttershy said. "Oh. I was joking there. You're serious?" Gohan asked. "Yes..." Fluttershy said. They got their apples for their trays from Granny Smith, and walked to a table. "Whenever Sunset Shimmer wants something, she gets it! Just ask the girl who ran against her in the Spring Fling!" Fluttershy said. "I have to try!" Twilight said. "I don't think you understand, you'd have to convince everyone here to vote for you instead of her!" Fluttershy said. "If she uses threats to get votes, then why don't we just threaten them?" Gohan joked. "B-But were're so small!" Fluttershy said. "It was a joke, sorry." Gohan said. "Oh, my bad." Fluttershy said. "Why is everybody separated into groups?" Gohan asked. "Maybe at your old school it was different, but at CHS, you stick to your own kind." Fluttershy said, sitting down. The others sat down as well. "Should I join the athletes or the nerds?" Gohan asked himself. It was pretty inaudible, but the other two heard it. He looked to the athletes then the nerds. "Do you do sports as well?" Fluttershy asked. "Do martial arts count?" Gohan asked. "Uh... I don't know." Fluttershy said. "One thing we all have in common is that Sunset Shimmer is going to rule this school until we graduate." Fluttershy said. "Not if I can help it!" Twilight said, biting into an apple without holding it. The other two looked at her funny. Twilight caught on, and held the apple in her hands to avoid embarrassment. Gohan ate his entire tray in five seconds. "That'll do for now." Gohan said to himself. Fluttershy was shocked to see Gohan just eat four bowls of food in an instant! "H-How did you...?" Fluttershy asked. "So, uh... Where can I find the head of the party planning committee?" Twilight asked. *** "Fluttershy said she'd probably be in here." Twilight said, walking into the gym. Gohan followed. The gym was decorated with all kind of balloons and party favors and whatnot. "I bet it's Pinkie. Someone's hiding." Gohan said. "INCOMING!" Pinkie Pie screamed, raining down tons of rolls of colored paper. The three were covered in them. Gohan used his ki to get them off. Twilight got it off herself. Pinkie Pie was still decorating. In fact, she somehow tore the fabric of a balloon off her shirt and it turned into a balloon. "Hi, I'm Twilight Sparkle and-" Twilight said before Pinkie Pie turned around while blowing said balloon. "Pinkie Pie?" Twilight asked. "Hah! I knew it!" Gohan said. Pinkie Pie stopped blowing into the balloon, and the air blew into her face. She immediately grabbed Twilight by her shirt. "ARE YOU PSYCHIC?" Pinkie Pie asked. "Uh, no. I don't think so. Unless that's something you can do here...?" Twilight asked. Pinkie Pie let go of Twilight's shirt. "Not usually." Pinkie Pie said before blowing a balloon again. 'This can't be Earth. Seriously, I don't think they exist on Earth.' Gohan thought. 'And I don't sense anyone familiar's ki.' Gohan thought. "Fluttershy said this is where I'd find the head of the Fall Formal planning committee." Twilight said. Pinkie Pie began to tie the balloon. "Fluttershy, huh? Don't let the whole shy thing fool you, she can be a real meanie!" She said. "Uh... I'm sure we can all be real meanies." Gohan said. "You two aren't friends?" Twilight asked. "So you want to get your name on the ballot, huh?" Pinkie Pie asked, ignoring Twilight's question. She inched herself closer. "The dance is day after tomorrow." Pinkie Pie said. "We're brand new here." Twilight said. "OOH! No wonder I couldn't recognize you! Now that I look at you... Do you have a twin sister who lives in the city? Who has a pet dog named Spike who looks just like that one?" Pinkie Pie asked. "Uh... Maybe?" Twilight asked. "And you!" Pinkie Pie said, pointing at Gohan. "... I got nothing." She said. "Anyhoo, you just need to fill this out!" Pinkie Pie said, pulling a checklist from her poofy hair. "And then you're officially up for the Fall Formal crown!" Pinkie Pie said, pulling a pen from her hair too. Twilight took the pen and put it in her mouth? "Do you know how to write?" Gohan asked. Twilight held the pen. "No." she whispered. "I'll sign her up." Gohan said, taking the pen. He wrote Twilight Sparkle for number two. Just below Sunset Shimmer. Then, the door barged open. "Did somebody order a case of fizzy apple cider?" Applejack asked. 'This is an alternate universe for sure.' Gohan thought. "OOH! OOH! Me! I did!" Pinkie Pie said, running to Applejack. Applejack placed the case of apple ciders on a table. "Can you bring in the rest?" Applejack asked. Then Big Macintosh came in carrying four cases of the drinks. "Eeyup." He said. It did make them sweat. Gohan walked over to Big Macintosh. "I'll take those." He said. "No, I won't do that to you." Big Macintosh said, walking away. Then Gohan looked sad because he wanted to try. But he instantly perked up. Applejack took a case of the fizzy drinks and placed it on another table. She looked at Twilight. "Hey, I know you! You're the new girl! And the new boy!" Applejack said. "You gave Sunset Shimmer that what-for today!" Applejack said, opening a bottle of apple cider with her teeth then drinking it. "Twilight Sparkle here is going to run for Princess of the Fall Formal!" Pinkie Pie said. Applejack spit her drink out. "I'd think twice about that. Oh, sure, she'll approach you all friendlylike." Applejack said, pulling Pinkie Pie down from above. She took two balloons and wrote Twilight's and Sunset Shimmer's faces on them. She mimicked the Sunset Shimmer balloon, which was red and heart shaped. "I do hope for a friendly competition!" She mimicked. Then she mimicked the Twilight balloon, which was oval and yellow. "Yeah." She mimicked. "And then, here comes the backstabbing." Applejack said, putting a needle behind the Sunset Shimmer balloon and stabbing the Twilight balloon with it. "The only other student you can trust less in this school is Rainbow Dash." Applejack said. "Rainbow Dash?" Twilight asked. "She's like, the captain of every team in Canterlot High." Pinkie Pie said, bouncing around on a balloon. "She's also the captain of saying she'll do something for ya, and turn around and not even bother to show up!" Applejack said, crossing her arms. "Thanks for the advice, Applejack. But this is something I really need to do." Twilight said. "How'd you know my name was Applejack?" Applejack asked. "Uh... Didn't you say?" Twilight said nervously. "She got the class list from the principal, and since you seem to have a thing for apples, she must have assumed your name was Applejack." Gohan said. "Uh... Okay, I guess that makes sense." Applejack said. "Well it was nice meeting you both! I'll hope to see you around!" Twilight said, galloping away. "Uh... We need to ask... And she's already gone." Gohan said. Then the door burst open. "This looks terrible!" Sunset Shimmer shouted. She came with Snips and Snails. Gohan face palmed seeing her again. "There should be more streamers near the stage and fewer balloons!" Sunset Shimmer said, popping two balloons. "Yeah! Streamers!" Snips said, ripping a streamer in half. "Yeah! And fewer balloons!" Snails said, trying to pop a balloon, but to no avail. "And fizzy apple cider!? UGH! This is my coronation! Not a hoe down!" Sunset Shimmer said. Applejack was about to respond, but Gohan beat her to it. "Sunset Shimmer, this Fall Formal isn't made just for you." Gohan defended. "Oh, it's karate kid again." Sunset Shimmer said. "Yeah, and the name's literal translation is rice! Now get out of here before rice teaches you a lesson in terrible karate!" Gohan joked, getting into a goofy pose. It's one of the Great Saiyaman poses where he stands on one foot and holds up two peace signs. Everyone just looked at him. "What? I wasn't lying." Gohan said. "Uh... What?" Pinkie Pie asked. "Wait, someone confused Pinkie? That's a first." Applejack said. "Okay, but seriously, Sunset Shimmer, just get out of here." Gohan said, doing the 'shoo' gesture. "What did you say!?" Sunset Shimmer said, inching closer to Gohan. "I said get out. This thing is run for and by the school, not for you." Gohan said. "Well! A brute isn't the most brightest now, huh!?" Sunset Shimmer mocked. Gohan remained unimpressed. "Obviously it's going to be MY coronation, I'm running unopposed." Sunset Shimmer said. "Uh... No?" Gohan asked. "No, the new girl just signed up!" Pinkie Pie said, flashing the paper. "What!?" Sunset Shimmer asked, taking the paper. "Where is this Twilight Sparkle?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "You aren't going to hurt her." Gohan said sternly. "And what are you going to do, 'protect' her?" Sunset Shimmer said. "I don't know, I guess?" Gohan asked. "Whatever." Sunset Shimmer said, walking away with her goons. Gohan walked in the direction of Twilight. *** "Twilight, she's after you." Gohan said. They were in the dark parts of the hall. "Aaaand she followed me." Gohan said, turning around. "H-How did you even notice me?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "I'm a psychic, that's why. Now, can't you just leave?" Gohan asked. "No. I'm not surprised Princess Celestia sent her student here to come after my crown." Sunset Shimmer said. Twilight was shocked to hear this. "It's not yours!" Gohan said. "Yeah, it's MY crown!" Twilight said. "Whatever. This is just a minor setback for me." Sunset Shimmer said, walking around the two. "You don't know the first thing about this place, and I already rule it." She said. "If that's the case, why do you even need my crown? You went through an awful lot of trouble to switch it with the one that belongs here." Twilight asked. "Pop quiz. What happens when you bring an Element of Harmony when you bring it to an alternate world?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "Uh... It gives you power?" Gohan asked. "Uh... Okay, you might have guessed part of it. But you two don't know the first thing about fitting in." Sunset Shimmer said, walking away. "This is not good." Gohan said. *** "LIBRARY!" Gohan shouted. "Library!?" Twilight asked. "Library." Gohan said, pointing at the library. "And computers, too." He added. They sat down at one. Twilight tried to use the computer, and looked like a fool doing so. Snips and Snails were lurking around. Gohan thought of them as just regular people. "Okay, so let's look up this school." Gohan said, typing into the browser. Then, loud music could be heard from another computer. Cheerilee, the librarian, unplugged the speaker. "School purposes only! This? Just, no. No!" Cheerilee said, walking away. "Aw!" The three students said. "Are they the Crusaders?" Gohan whispered to Twilight. "Sounded like it..." Twilight said. "All these comments are mean! They said we're funny!" Sweetie Belle said. "Funny, huh?" Scootaloo asked. Then the three had an epiphany. "We're funny!" The Crusaders said. "Um, I don't think that's-" Twilight said, but the trio already left the library. Gohan looked up Canterlot High School, and couldn't find anything about Sunset Shimmer's previous victories at the Fall Formal. Or Spring Fling. Other than the fact she won. He searched all over the web while Twilight searched the library for books. *** "I hadn't thought about where we're going to sleep!" Twilight said. "I don't know... Uh... Sleep in the library?" Gohan asked. "That gives me an idea!" Spike said, walking away. *** Spike made two book beds for Twilight and Gohan. "Nobody comes up here, so I thought it could work!" Spike said. "Thanks, Spike. Now it's time for a long sleep despite no dinner nighttime." Gohan said, immediately crashing on his bed. *** "Fluttershy said I had to convince all the groups to vote for me, so I wrote some talking points." Twilight said. "I don't think these notes will help all too well. The best you should do is just don't talk to anyone unless they talk to you." Gohan said. "Why?" Twilight asked. "You'll probably forget, or whatever. Be too shy, anything." Gohan said. "Good point." Twilight said. "It's just like when you were in school, Twilight." Gohan said. "Just be casual." He said. "Okay, casual. Let's go." Twilight said, opening the library doors. Spike was in her bag. As they traversed the halls, the other students started to laugh at her. The three were confused. "Why is everyone looking at me funny?" Twilight said, before a random hand grabbed her into another room. "Twilight!" Gohan said, rushing in after her. Inside the room, there was Rarity. Rarity already began taking Twilight's measurements. She went into her bag and grabbed a green dress and a blond wig. "Perfect!" She said. She put them on Twilight. "W-What are you doing, Rarity?" Gohan asked. "I'm trying to help her! Nobody will recognize her!" Rarity said, not realizing Gohan's slip up. "Why wouldn't... Huh?" Gohan and Twilight asked. Then Applejack came in. "Well there you are, Twilight!" Applejack said. "So much for the disguise." Rarity said, crossing her arms. "I've been looking for you!" Applejack said. "Me too." Fluttershy said. "Me three!" Pinkie Pie said, inspecting the disguise. "I like your new look!" She added. "I do have an eye for these things, not that you seem to care." Rarity said. "WHAT!?" Pinkie Pie said. "Why do you mean she doesn't care?" Twilight asked. Applejack was signaling a 'NO!' And Fluttershy covered her face in fear. Pinkie Pie seemingly steamed. "N-Nevermind." Twilight said. "Why does she need this outfit?" Gohan asked. "What's going on?" Twilight asked. "S-She hasn't seen it yet..." Fluttershy said. "Seen what?" Gohan and Twilight asked. Pinkie Pie opened her computer. She pressed play. "Oh, it's really not that bad." Pinkie Pie reassured. After watching a 'documentary' on Twilight's odd behavior by Sunset Shimmer, Gohan was steaming. "I take that back. It's pretty bad." Pinkie Pie said. "This makes me want to blast her into oblivion!" Gohan said, trying to stop his anger. "Calm down, Gohan." Twilight said. "Sorry." He said. "Anyhow, is this why everyone was looking at me weirdly!?" Twilight asked. The four other girls nodded in response. "What am I going to do!? Nobody will vote for me after this!" Twilight said. "Not that it'll make any difference, but I'll vote for you." Fluttershy said. Twilight slammed her face into the desk. "You two were so nice to me after Sunset Shimmer was picking on me yesterday." Fluttershy said. "If you still want to run, maybe I can help!" Pinkie Pie said. Fluttershy leaned into Twilight's ear. "Don't take her advice. She never takes things seriously!" She whispered. "Uh! Why do you have to be so awful to me?" Pinkie Pie said, stomping her foot. "Oh- K- Pu- Ch- Don't play innocent Pinkie Pie!" Rarity said, pointing at Pinkie Pie. "You are no better than she is!" She added, pointing at Fluttershy. "Guys..." Gohan said. "AND what is that supposed to mean!?" Pinkie Pie retorted, grabbing Rarity's arms. "Guys." Gohan said. "I am happy to offer my assistance as well, to someone who would APPRECIATE what I have to OFFER!" Rarity retorted. Then three started arguing. "Look at you! Just get over it and move on!" Applejack said, dropping a finished apple into the trash. "You mean like how YOU got over what happened with Rainbow Dash!?" Rarity retorted. "She said she'd get the softball team to make an appearance at my bake sale. I tell everyone that they're coming, and not one of them shows up! She made a liar out of me! It's different." Applejack retorted. "Guys." Gohan said more sternly. Twilight slammed her head against the desk again. "IS NOT." The three other arguers said. "IS TOO!" Applejack retorted. Now Applejack joined the craze. Gohan just had enough of it. Gohan flew up so that he was face to face with everyone as they argued. Gohan just yelled: "AAAAAHHHHH!" Everyone looked at him. "Thank you." Gohan said. "Weren't you smaller a moment- Uh.... How- How are you flying?" Applejack asked. Gohan looked down to his feet and noticed he was actually flying. He had to think of something. Something that he could use to hide his abilities. He got it! He looked up at nothing. "Someone put a small rope on me!" He said, biting down on nothing. Then he stood on the ground again. "There we go." He said. "Anyway, what do YOU have to add to this, boy!?" Rarity asked. "This pointless arguing isn't helping Twilight!" Gohan said. "Yes. I need to show you all something." Twilight said, reaching into her bag for the yearbook she got in the library. "You guys were friends!" She said, opening the page to the Freshmen Fair. "But something happened. I think that something was Sunset Shimmer." Twilight finished. "That's a nice theory, darling. But Sunset Shimmer had nothing to do with it." Rarity said. "But she's known for ruining people, like she did to Twilight in that video. Unless something different happened, where it wasn't a rumor or any lies being spread." Gohan said. "That... That still doesn't add up!" Fluttershy said. "Pinkie Pie personally ruined my Silent Auction for the Animal Shelter with fireworks and noisemakers!" She added. "What!? I got a text from you saying you didn't want a silent auction, and a big party instead!" Pinkie Pie said, holding out her phone as evidence. "Aha! That's our first clue!" Gohan said. "In what regards?" Fluttershy asked. "Did you ever send that text, Fluttershy?" Twilight asked. "No, I didn't." Fluttershy said. "And who could have been responsible?" Twilight asked. "T-That's an amazing theory, darling. However, we can't tell if Fluttershy is lying!" Rarity said. Gohan was about to prove her wrong, but didn't want to slip up again. Twilight took the reigns from there. "But what about Applejack's problem with Rainbow Dash? Did Rainbow Dash text you that? Or did you hear her say it in person?" Twilight asked Applejack. "She did text me it..." Applejack said. "That can't be a coincidence." Gohan stated. "Did you talk to her at all after the incident?" Twilight asked. "I... I guess I just stopped talking to her after that." Applejack said, in embarrassment. She even took her hat off. "Maybe we should go talk to her about her point of view." Gohan said. *** Rainbow Dash was out on the soccer field, practicing her shots. Applejack confronted her, but then it turned into an argument. "They're actually talking!" Rarity noted. They were on the benches. Gohan face palmed. Applejack just started yelling! He decided to take matters into his own hands. Gohan walked up to the two fighters. "STOP. Just stop!" Gohan shouted. "Shut it, we are having an argument!" Rainbow Dash said. "And this is why you two aren't getting along!" Gohan said. "She won't cough up her side of the story!" Applejack said. "Only because you randomly ignored me!" Rainbow Dash retorted. "STOP! Okay, what will it take for you to cough it up?" "If one of you beats me in soccer." Rainbow Dash said. She assumed it was an easy win for her. But not Gohan. "I will." He said sternly. "Do you WANT to lose?" Rainbow Dash laughed. "Do you?" Gohan asked. "I NEVER lose." Rainbow Dash said. "Why don't we test that theory, huh?" Gohan asked. "Fine. Best of five." Rainbow Dash said. "Deal." Gohan said. Rainbow Dash placed a soccer ball in the middle of the field. Applejack walked back to the bench. "That boy doesn't know what he's getting into." She said. "What are those two doing?" Rarity asked. "He's gonna play Rainbow in a soccer match!" Applejack said. "He's what?" Pinkie Pie asked. "Why?" Twilight asked. "She won't talk. She said she would if one of us beat her in a soccer game." Applejack said. "He can't beat Dash..." Fluttershy said. Twilight smirked after that. "Oh, I just think he will." She said. Gohan and Rainbow Dash were on opposite sides of the field. "Don't cry when you lose." Rainbow Dash mocked. "Don't worry. I'm fine with a loss." Gohan said. Then, the soccer game began. Rainbow Dash took the ball instantly, running after Gohan's goal. She kicked the ball towards the goal. Gohan used his quick speed to seemingly appear next to the ball and kick it. He did it as lightly as he could. It flew halfway across the field. "You're not bad!" Rainbow Dash said, taking the ball with her feet. Gohan slowly ran up to her. "Can you see through THIS?" Rainbow Dash asked, moving the ball all around her feet. It was a small illusion. While her feet were swift, the ball barely moved. It seemed it was, though. Gohan made a swift kick at the right point, kicking the ball into Rainbow Dash's goal. "W-What!? Nobody can see through that!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed. "H-He got a goal after seeing through her after images!?" Pinkie Pie asked in shock. "W-What in tarnation?" Applejack asked. Everyone but Twilight and Spike were shocked. "We're still not done!" Rainbow Dash said, placing the ball in the middle of the field again. "Of course not." Gohan said. Rainbow Dash took the ball again and tried to confuse Gohan in another way. She kicked the ball up in the air, preventing it from being able to reach Gohan's feet. "Hey! That's not fair!" Pinkie Pie said. "Don't worry, Pinkie. Just you see." Twilight reassured. "See? I see Rainbow Dash acting like a snake!" Applejack said. "You can't get the ball now!" Rainbow Dash said with a smirk. Gohan only smiled. He jumped up and kicked the ball to hit it into the goal again. "W-What the heck!? How did you jump that high!?" Rainbow Dash asked, completely dumbfounded. "It's called jumping." Gohan stated. "That's it, no more nice Dash!" Rainbow Dash said. She put the ball in the center again. This time, she only shot it as fast as she could. It even combusted. Gohan was pleasantly surprised by Rainbow Dash's ability, but had to act quick. He couldn't touch the ball with his hands, so he did something extraordinary. Well, according to the spectators. Rainbow Dash had an early victory. "Yes! Goal!" She said triumphantly. But, she didn't score the goal. In fact, the soccer ball was not in the goal. It was being held up in the air by two feet. Gohan performed a handstand and caught the ball with his feet before it went into the goal. His back was facing Rainbow Dash. "W-WHAT!?" Pinkie Pie exclaimed. Even Twilight was surprised. She never saw him do that! "T-That's not real!" Fluttershy said. "H-How in tarnation did he catch the ball WITH HIS FEET!?" Applejack asked. "HOW!?" Rainbow Dash asked, dumbfounded. "I'm surprised. Making the ball combust was amazing!" Gohan said, standing up again. "But I'm going to take the game now." He added, kicking the ball into Rainbow Dash's goal. Rainbow Dash was too surprised and confused to react to the ball. "N-No..." Applejack said. "No... Freaking... Way..." Pinkie Pie said. "T-This boy has more than I thought!" Rarity said. "B... But Rainbow is the best..." Fluttershy mumbled. Rainbow Dash fell to her knees in defeat. She... Lost? For the first time ever, she lost a game. A 1-on-1! She never had a chance at losing those! Gohan walked over to the distraught Rainbow Dash. "I'm very surprised. You have some serious strength! Good game, Rainbow." Gohan said, holding his hand out to help her up. Rainbow Dash was still too caught up in her pride. "How... How could I...?" She kept repeating. "Rainbow? Are you alright?" Gohan asked. "I think Dashie just broke." Pinkie Pie said. "Now this is a first!" Applejack said. "Rainbow Dash. Don't beat yourself up." Gohan said, forcefully putting Rainbow Dash on her feet. Rainbow Dash looked down in fear at the younger child WHO BEAT HER! "You'll beat me one day. I promise you." Gohan said. Rainbow Dash still had feelings of doubt, but she then calmed down. "You're really amazing." Rainbow Dash complimented with a smile. "Thanks for the compliment..." Gohan said, scratching the back of his head and blushing slightly. He actually expected a worse breakdown. Maybe in the equine world. "I guess I need to cough up my side of the story, huh?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Yes." Gohan said. *** "So... You were told the bake sale was on a different day, huh?" Applejack asked. "Yeah. I even showed up on that different day, with the softball team." Rainbow Dash said. "I think we can all guess who did do this..." Applejack said. "There's no doubt that it's Sunset Shimmer." Twilight said. "Anyway, you're looking to dethrone Sunset Shimmer and become Princess of the Fall Formal?" Rainbow Dash asked, pointing at Twilight. Twilight nodded. "I gotta say, I'd love to see that happen! I'll totally help you out!" Rainbow Dash said. Everyone perked up. "All you need to do, is beat me at a game of soccer." Rainbow Dash said, pointing at Twilight. "Uh..." Twilight said. Rainbow Dash began to kick the ball repeatedly in the air. "Ok." She finally said. "Alright! First to five points wins!" Rainbow Dash said, kicking the ball into a goal. "That's one." She added. Gohan hoped Twilight could pull a miracle. *** It was 4-0, and Twilight couldn't do anything. Gohan really questioned Rainbow Dash's help. So, he decided to help Twilight himself. Twilight had the ball, and attempted to kick the ball. She slipped. Gohan used his telekinesis to make it seem like it was hit heavily. It even curved around. Rainbow Dash was so confused by the weird occurrence that she didn't react to the goal. "Huh. That's a weird kind of kick..." Rainbow Dash noted. "She got a goal!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed. "Nice job." Rainbow Dash said. Twilight was panting on the ground. "You alright?" Rainbow Dash asked. "I don't know how much longer I can go..." Twilight said. "You know what? Game's over. We both know the outcome won't be in your favor." Rainbow Dash said. "Are... Are you serious?" Twilight asked. "Yeah." Rainbow Dash said, helping Twilight stand up. 'This Rainbow Dash is a lot less prideful than I thought.' Gohan thought. The others walked over to the duelists. "So? Why'd you stop?" Pinkie Pie asked. "She's too winded to go on. I wouldn't do that to her." Rainbow Dash said. "So... It's a draw?" Applejack asked. "Even though my awesomeness overpowered her, I'll call it a draw." Rainbow Dash said. "So, you'll help us?" Gohan asked. "Yep!" Rainbow Dash said. "But... I didn't win!" Twilight said. "Of course you didn't. I'm awesome! But I believe the Fall Formal Princess should have heart and determination. You have those qualities." Rainbow Dash said. "Thanks!" Twilight said. "No problem!" Rainbow Dash said. "I still can't get over the fact that he beat you, Rainbow Dash." Rarity said. "Yeah... How did you even move around that fast?" Rainbow Dash asked. "You didn't see me too well." Gohan lied. "Maybe because you're really small?" Rainbow Dash asked. Gohan laughed. "Yes." He chuckled. "And you caught my flaming kick with your feet while doing a handstand!" Rainbow Dash said. "I exercise a lot." Gohan said. "I wonder how everyone will react to your victory over me." Rainbow Dash said. "C-Can we keep it a secret?" Gohan asked. "Yeah sur- Wait, what?" Rainbow Dash asked. "I'm also confused." Pinkie Pie said. "I don't want to ruin your already perfect reputation for being awesome." Gohan said. "Tch! Thanks!" Rainbow Dash said. "That's very nice of you." Fluttershy said. Gohan laughed sheepishly. "Anyway... What's the plan? How can we get you to win instead of Sunset Shimmer?" Rainbow Dash asked. Then Gohan's stomach rumbled. "Uh..." He said. Twilight knew Gohan didn't eat anything for dinner. He barely ate lunch. "Do any of you know where I can eat a ton of food that I shouldn't be able to eat but somehow I can?" Gohan asked. "Uh... What?" Everyone except Twilight asked. Little did any of them know, Sunset Shimmer was lurking around. She, Snips, and Snails gathered photos and videos of Twilight. *** Now, school ended. The seven friends were all at Sugarcube Corner. Everyone but Gohan got soft drinks and sweets and whatnot. He only got water. But it was constant refills. After Twilight bumped into some boy she met earlier AGAIN, Twilight somehow alleviated it by moving away in time. She kinda liked him. They were shy around each other, though. So the seven were lounging now. Rarity knew what Twilight was doing. "Don't even try it. Sunset Shimmer will kill you if she finds out you're with her ex boyfriend." Rarity stated. "I don't know, we keep bumping into each other, and- Ex Boyfriend?" Twilight asked. "Flash Sentry broke up with her a few weeks ago. I can't believe she hasn't done something awful to him yet." Fluttershy said. The person known as Flash Sentry walked away with a drink, and he smiled at Twilight. "Maybe she's waiting until she has the power to do something REALLY awful." Twilight said. "Okay, planning time. Who has ideas to get Twilight to win?" Gohan asked. "We need to get everyone to see her differently than that video." Applejack said. "Yes... But how?" Gohan asked. After some thinking... "I'VE GOT IT!" Rarity screamed. Everyone in the store looked at her. She realized her slip up. "Ahem... I may have the solution. This may be a dumb idea, buuut... What if we wore these as a sign of unity?" Rarity asked, pulling a fake tail and pony ears from her bag. "Uh... Huh?" Gohan asked. "They were very, very popular in freshmen year." Rarity said, putting them on. "This is a good way for everyone to show their school spirit! You know, Go! Canterlot Wondercolts!" Rarity said, jumping. "Ahem. Even though the seven of us are very different, we're all Canterlot Wondercolts deep down!" Rarity said, giving everyone a fake pony ears and tail. Even Gohan wore it. "Hey Twilight, this is the closest you'll get to see me as a pony." Gohan whispered. Twilight giggled internally. "Sunset Shimmer is the one who divided us, and Twilight Sparkle and... I'm sorry, I never caught your name." Rarity said. "Gohan." Gohan said. "Oh." Some of them said. "Yes, anyway. Twilight and Gohan united us! We need to let everyone know it!" Rarity said, placing a fake pair of pony stuff on Twilight. "What do you think?" Rarity asked. Everyone else nodded or gave a thumbs up. Then Gohan's stomach rumbled again. It was very loud. His group of friends looked at him. "I need to eat, seriously." Gohan said. *** Everyone looked in awe as Gohan was still eating, and eating, and eating. The group of friends were now at Sweet Apple Acres. Gohan ate continuous amounts of rice and apples. "This kid's just full of surprises, ain't he?" Applejack asked. "I wonder if his father eats like this..." Rarity asked. Gohan stopped eating for a moment, and swallowed. "To answer your question, yes, Rarity." Gohan said. "That's hilarious!" Pinkie Pie said. "I suppose you attained his... Stomach." Rarity said. *** It was tomorrow. It was also lunchtime. Everyone was eating. Each of the Equestria Girls Mane 6 and also Gohan wore their Canterlot sweaters. Even the fake pony parts. Gohan sat alone in a corner while everyone else in the plan sat at their designated groups. Pinkie Pie started to tap her lunch tray against a table. It provided a beat. Rarity joined in the same rhythm with her feet. *Bam!*... *BamBam!* Then she started to clap. Fluttershy began to tap or slam, pick your choice, two glass cups against the table. People started to notice the small music being played. Applejack joined in with the clapping, and also slammed her hands against the table with the beat. Rainbow Dash joined in with a tray of her own. Spike, hiding in Twilight's bag, pressed a button on a speaker. It recreated that rhythm, so that the others didn't have to keep slamming. Then, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie and Applejack began to skip across the room. As they skipped, they sang! The Cafeteria Song. Gohan refused to dance because stomping his 'hoof' would result in a possible cracked floor. His boots were heavy, after all. And he did not want to get in trouble for that. He did clap and sing along, though. The song was a success, everyone was going to vote for Twilight! Everyone started to wear the fake pony parts too! The seven were walking across the hall. "Doesn't it look just fabulous?" Rarity asked. "It was a great idea, Rarity!" Twilight said. Then Applejack noticed something. Sunset Shimmer, oh boy. "Don't know what she's smiling about." Applejack noted. She and her two goons had smirks as they walked across the hall. "Twilight's the one who's gonna be princess of the Fall Formal!" She added. Sunset Shimmer knocked on Vice Principal Luna's door. As the Vice Principal opened it, Sunset Shimmer put on an act! "Oh, Vice Principal Luna, something terrible has happened!" She said. *** The gym was wrecked! All of Pinkie Pie's work was RUINED! "Isn't this just awful!? And after Pinkie Pie tried SO hard to make everything perfect! Why would Twilight Sparkle do something like this!?" Sunset Shimmer asked, actually deceiving the Vice Principal. "Why would you think Twilight was responsible for something like this?" Luna asked. "Because I have proof!" Sunset Shimmer said, showing Luna a file of photos. Little did they know, somebody was spying on them. Flash Sentry was. He was determined to prove Twilight innocent! *** Gohan was outside Vice Principal Luna's office, hating himself. "I should have known! She'd come up with fake evidence and get Twilight banned from the election!" Gohan muttered. He couldn't help but hang his head low in defeat. Sunset Shimmer had done it. Vice Principal Luna was going into Twilight about the issue. "The school cannot let someone run for Princess of the Fall Formal after they did something as horrific as this." Luna said. Gohan heard all of it. He couldn't help but feel immensely guilty! He noticed Flash Sentry approaching the office. Holding some photos in his hands. 'I hope it's evidence for Twilight's innocence.' Gohan thought. He entered the office, instantly stating: "Vice Principal Luna. I've found these in the trash can of the library." He gave the photographs to Vice Principal Luna. They were the REAL photographs of what Twilight had done, and her body was cut out of them. "I thought you should see them." He added. "I appreciate you bringing this to me, Flash. Light of this new evidence will allow you to run for Princess." Luna said. Gohan was shocked and happy to hear these news! 'She's in!' He mentally screamed. Twilight hugged Flash Sentry instantly. "Thank you so much! You don't know how much this means to me!" Twilight said, before realizing she hugged him. "What was I gonna do? Not prove your innocence? Wouldn't be much of a Canterlot Wondercolt, would I?" Flash Sentry asked. "However, the damages to the gym have been made. We will have to postpone the ceremony to tomorrow night." Luna said. "Now, I must tell my sister about this." Luna said, leaving her office. "So, uh... I was wondering, if you weren't already going with someone, want to go to the Fall Formal with me tomorrow night?" Flash Sentry asked. "I would l- Wait, TOMORROW? No, nononono!" Twilight said, grabbing her bag and rushing out of the office. Flash stepped out too. "One no would have been fine!" He said, walking away in defeat. "Wait." Gohan said. Flash turned around. "Yeah?" He asked. "Thanks." Gohan said. "No problem." He said, walking away. Gohan started to walk towards Twilight. But, she had ran to Rarity's Boutique. *** Twilight rushed into a changing room. "Everything okay in there?" Rarity asked. "Yes!" Twilight said. "Except it's not alright. If I don't get my crown tonight, I won't go back to Equestria for another thirty moons!" Twilight whispered. Gohan came in through the door next. "Twilight, are you alright?" Gohan asked. "Yes!" Twilight said. "Phew, that's good." Gohan said. Everyone else was changing for the Fall Formal. "What are we going to do?" Twilight asked Spike. "Hm... Let them know the truth. There's no other way we can get the crown tonight." Spike said. "But what if they don't help? What if they found out how different I really am?" Twilight asked. "Twilight, these girls rallied around you because of what they saw in your heart! You even have Gohan by your side! And he's a warrior!" Spike reassured. "They aren't going to think anything less of you when they find out you're a pony princess in Equestria." Spike said. "I'm glad you followed me here, Spike." Twilight said. "Me too. But of course, we're stuck here for another thirty moons. We didn't even tell Gohan about Sunset Shimmer and how the portal closes." Spike said. "Let's just tell them the truth." Twilight said. She opened the curtains. "The Fall Formal isn't happening tonight." She said. "WHAT!?" Pinkie Pie screamed. "It had to be postponed because Sunset Shimmer had Snips and Snails wreck Pinkie Pie's decorations." Twilight said. "WHAT!?" Pinkie Pie asked. "But the Fall Formal HAS to happen tonight!" Twilight said. Pinkie Pie was about to scream what again, but Applejack covered her mouth. "You see..." Twilight said. "You're from an alternate world where you're a princess there and the crown actually belongs to you that has a magical element embedded in it that powers other magical elements and without it they don't work more and you need them to help your magical world and if you don't get the crown tonight, you'll be stuck here and you won't be able to get back for a really really long time!" Pinkie Pie sputtered. Everyone looked at Pinkie Pie in surprise. She still didn't explain Gohan, though. "Yeah, I'm pretty sure that isn't the reason." Rainbow Dash said. "Nope, she's pretty much spot on." Spike said. Now everyone was shocked that Spike was talking! "HE CAN TALK!?" Rarity asked. "Oh yeah! And back from where I'm from, I'm not even a dog! I'm a ferocious fire breathing dragon!" Spike bragged. Fluttershy came up instantly. "This is SO AMAZING! Tell me, WHAT ARE YOU THINKING RIGHT NOW?" She asked, being face to face with Spike and having the biggest smile in the world. "I'd like a scratch behind the old ears." Spike said. "How did you know all that!?" Twilight asked. "Just a hunch." Pinkie Pie said. "Now hold on a minute. You're a pony?" Applejack asked. "You're a princess?" Rarity asked. "You're from another world!?" Fluttershy asked. Twilight nodded. "That. Is. AWESOME!" Rainbow Dash said, getting everyone but Gohan in a group hug. "See, told ya." Spike said. The hug broke. "So... What about Gohan? Is he a pony prince or something?" Applejack asked. "I have no idea." Pinkie Pie said. "Should I tell them?" Gohan asked Twilight. "I don't see why not." Twilight said. "I'm not a pony in her world. In fact, I remain this way, as a human/Saiyan hybrid." Gohan said, referring to his body. "Saiyan? What race is that?" Fluttershy asked. "It's too long to explain. It's an alien race." Gohan said. "Uh... Okay, so you're a half alien?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Yes." Gohan said. "That's cool!" Rainbow Dash said. "So, is there anything else interesting about you?" Applejack asked. "Well... I'm a warrior." Gohan said. "A warrior? But you're only a kid!" Rainbow Dash said. "Then how does that explain this?" Gohan asked, flying. Everyone looked in shock. He was flying again! "Wait... So y-you... Can fly? What!?" Fluttershy asked. "It's not an alien power, I have to clarify that. That's not all, too." He said. Gohan stood on the ground again. "I can do stuff like this." Gohan said, holding a ki blast out. It wasn't going to hurt anyone. "Cool!" Rainbow Dash said. He controlled it, moving it around with his hands. Pinkie Pie started to chase the ball. Gohan absorbed the ki blast again. Before Pinkie Pie got hurt. "He's saved my world from destruction many times." Twilight said. "So... He's a superhero?" Applejack asked. "It explains my win over Rainbow Dash. I'm super fast and can lift a lot of things up. And also punch through them..." Gohan said. "So... what else can you do?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Uh... Here, try and hold this." Gohan said, taking off his weighted shirt and placing it on the ground gently. Rainbow Dash tried holding the heavy cloth. She managed to hold it in her elbows. "Argh! H-How do you move around in this! This is like a million tons!" Rainbow Dash exaggerated. "One hundred kilograms to be exact. My boots and one hundred and fifty each, and my wristbands are fifteen each." Gohan said, taking the shirt again. "That's so cool!" Pinkie Pie said. "Anything else you can surprise us with?" Applejack asked. "Uh... Sure." Gohan said, seemingly teleporting. "Where'd he go?" Rainbow Dash asked. Everyone was looking around the one spot for where he went. "I'm right here." Gohan said, behind everyone. "Wow, I couldn't figure it out." Twilight said. "Uh... Anything else?" Rainbow Dash asked. "You know what? Let's save it for another time. We need to get the Fall Formal running tonight!" Gohan said. *** "I simply can't believe they did all this!" Rarity said. They were now in the gym, which was wrecked. "If only I had some sort of party Cannon that would decorate all this for me!" Pinkie Pie said. "Don't worry, we can fix this up." Gohan said. "Yeah, it seems impossible, but if we work together..." Twilight said. "Now that's the spirit I want to see!" Applejack exclaimed. "Let's do it y'all!" Applejack said, holding her hand out. "Absolutely!" Rarity said, placing her hand on top of Applejack's. "Rock on!" Rainbow Dash said, placing her hand on the pile. "Yes indeedily!" Pinkie Pie said, placing her hand on the pile. "Yay!" Fluttershy said, placing her hand on the pile. "Let's go!" Gohan said, placing his hand on the pile. Twilight joined in, and they all jumped. Now they were going to clean up. Twilight grabbed many brooms, handing them to each of her friends. Rainbow Dash showed her moves off with it, while the rest caught it. Because of Rainbow Dash's request, Gohan performed for her. He spun the broom at lightning speeds and moved around with it too. Now that ended. Everyone was cleaning the floor. Gohan did the most work, as his superior speed trumped everyone else's. Now there was a huge pile of garbage. "I got this." Gohan said, blasting the trash. It exploded without a trace. "Awesome!" Rainbow Dash said. Now, other students were walking by and noticed Twilight attempting to lift a broken table. Two boys came into the gym and took the table on their own. But then they were shocked to see Applejack lift one and walk casually. THEN they saw Gohan lift five of the tables with one finger and walking casually. Now they were throwing streamers. Other students noticed, and joined in on the cleaning fun! Now everyone in the school was helping them set up for the Fall Formal tonight! They set up the stage, they set up the music, the food, the games, everything! Twilight and Flash Sentry had another interaction in the process. After the ceremony was almost finished being prepared, the six friends all got in a group hug. "Gohan, get in here!" Applejack said. Gohan joined in on the group hug, despite being smaller. "THIS... LOOKS... SO... GOOD!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed. "We did amazing." Gohan said. Now Principal Celestia was clapping. "Alright everyone! The Fall Formal is back on this evening!" Celestia said. Everyone cheered. "So you better get out of here and start getting ready. And don't forget to cast your ballots for Fall Formal Princess!" Celestia said. Everyone was going to vote for Twilight! *** "I still can't believe we pulled that off!" Fluttershy said. They were back at Rarity's place. "I can!" Rainbow Dash said. "Yeah! We had Gohan do SO much heavy work! He lifted five tables with his finger!" Pinkie Pie said. "Now that's a strong one!" Applejack said. "Enough chit-chat. We need to look fabulous!" Rarity said, pulling out many dresses and suits. After many changes to dresses, appliances, nails, accessories and hair, everyone was prepared. All but Twilight and Gohan. Gohan didn't get any of that fancy stuff. He wasn't wearing a tux as what everyone else expected. He asked for... Different wear. Twilight finally finished. She had a purple dress which showed off how much of a princess she was! Gohan was still in his changing room. "You alright, Gohan?" Rarity asked. "Yeah, I'm just doing some changes." Gohan said. "Well, no rush." Rarity said. Gohan stepped out of the room with an entirely new look. His new look shocked everyone. Except Twilight, she saw it before. https://t00.deviantart.net/Cd3AqpNkMVGG09Wav8m2_7okeiw=/fit-in/700x350/filters:fixed_height(100,100):origin()/pre00/da5b/th/pre/f/2016/366/e/1/gohan_by_tch023-datos61.png Gohan had blond hair and blue eyes? He secretly wore his gi underneath. "Gohan? D-Did you add hair dye to your hair?" Rarity asked. "And what's with your eyes? They're blue!" Rainbow Dash said. Gohan chuckled. "It's a secret." He said. "Let me guess, it's something we can do, right?" Pinkie Pie asked. "Sorry to disappoint you but only Saiyans can do it. Heheh." Gohan said. *** The seven friends all arrived to the Fall Formal in a limousine. Spike came along, too. They stepped out. At the same time, Flash Sentry came in his own car. "Twilight!" He called. Twilight stopped while her friends went ahead. He ran up to her. "I know you said no about the Fall Formal with me... But would you reconsider and at least have one dance?" Flash Sentry asked. "I didn't say no... I mean, I did, but I didn't mean no to you." Twilight said, placing a hand on Flash's shoulder. "What I mean is, yes. I'd love to dance with you." Twilight said. Flash Sentry escorted Twilight into the school. Not before he walked into the wall by accident. Inside, a party was happening! Everyone was dancing! Well, Gohan kind of stood there awkwardly, drinking some fruit punch. Then some other kids his age came by. "Who are you?" A kid asked. It was Applebloom. The human Crusaders were those kids. "Are you in our classes?" Scootaloo asked. "I-I'm not in your classes." Gohan said. "Why aren't you dancing?" Sweetie Belle asked. "I-I'd rather not..." Gohan said. His friends were dancing, and Flash Sentry was performing. "Anyone see Sunset Shimmer?" Twilight asked. "Maybe she was too embarrassed to show! You gotta know you won by a landslide!" Rainbow Dash said. "Maybe..." Twilight said. Now the band finished a song, and Celestia walked up to the stage. "First off, I want to say how amazing everything looks tonight. You did a magnificent job fixing the place after the unfortunate events of earlier. And, without further ado, I'd like to announce the Princess of this year's Fall Formal." Celestia said. Luna brought up a chest with Twilight's Element of Harmony. "The Princess of the Fall Formal is..." Celestia said. Everyone was hyped to hear who was the princess. "This is gonna be awesome!" Rainbow Dash said. "Twilight Sparkle!" Celestia said. Everyone cheered. Gohan was jumping too! But he jumped so high that he got some looks. He stopped and blushed. However, during the cheering, two kids, Snips and Snails snuck into the gym unnoticed. Twilight was walking up to get her crown. "Congratulations, Twilight." Celestia said, placing the crown upon Twilight's head. Everyone cheered. But, something bad happened. "TWILIGHT! HEEEELLLLP!" Spike screamed. Snips and Snails took him. "Spike?" Twilight asked. "They've got Spike!" She yelled, running after the two boys. Her friends joined her race against them. Gohan stayed behind the girls as they raced because bumping into them was rude. They chased the boys outside where Sunset Shimmer was. She held a sledgehammer. "That's close enough!" She yelled, ready to swing at the portal. "Twilight!" Spike said, before Snips and Snails shut his mouth. "Don't hurt him!" Twilight said. "You hurt him, I'll kill you!" Gohan shouted. "Oh, I wouldn't dream of it. I'm not a monster, Twilight. Let him go." Sunset Shimmer said. The goons looked at her confused, and then let him go. Spike ran back to Twilight, where they hugged. "You don't belong here, give me the crown, and you can go back to Equestria tonight." Sunset Shimmer said. "And why should we listen to you?" Gohan asked. "I don't know, blondie. Or else Twilight here can't go back for another thirty moons, or forever!" Sunset Shimmer said. "F-Forever!?" Gohan asked. "Keep it, and never go home." Sunset Shimmer said, ready to swing. "Time's ticking, Twilight. The portal will close in less than an hour. What's your choice." Sunset Shimmer said. After lengthy thinking time, Twilight had an answer. "Fine." She said. "What!?" Her friends asked. "Wise choice." Sunset Shimmer said. "Twilight, don't-" "Gohan, there's no other way!" Twilight interrupted. She handed her crown over to Sunset Shimmer. "Oh no..." Gohan said. Sunset Shimmer placed the crown on her head. "At last! More power than I can EVER imagine!" Sunset Shimmer said. The crown's Element glowed dark magic. A dark black and blue aura surrounded Sunset Shimmer. "N-No!" Gohan said. Everyone looked in horror. The people in the gym also came out to see what the commotion was. They were scared. Sunset Shimmer transformed! Her whole body was red, her clothes formed into a fiery red, she attained wings and her hair was on fire. She cackled, inspecting her new body. Everyone gasped. "Dang it!" Gohan shouted. She zapped Snips and Snails, transforming them too! They were going to attack the seven. Gohan stepped up to the plate while his friends backed away. "Leave now, and you won't regret it." He said. Everyone but the seven ran back inside for protection. "I had to jump over so many obstacles tonight get my hands on this crown! And it really should have been mine all along!" Sunset Shimmer said. "But, let's let bygones be bygones! I am your princess now, and you will be loyal." Sunset Shimmer said, destroying the doors. She used her new magic to mind control everyone in the school! She had ordered Snips and Snails to round up the mind controlled people. "Spoiler alert, I was never going to destroy the portal! I don't want to rule this pathetic little high school! I want Equestria! And with my own little teenage army, we shall succeed!" Sunset Shimmer boasted. Even Flash Sentry was possessed. "Not on my watch!" Gohan yelled. Gohan removed his formal wear to reveal his gi, and reverted back to his base form. "You're that kid? No matter, you can't beat me now." Sunset Shimmer said. "I am the protector of Equestria, and I cannot let it fall to you!" Gohan shouted. "You're what!?" The six others asked. "What are you going to do to stop me!? I have magic, and YOU have NOTHING!" Sunset Shimmer exclaimed. "She has us!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed. "No, stand back!" Gohan demanded. "You'll die! I can handle her. I don't need magic, I have more strength and skill than you can ever imagine!" Gohan yelled. "The gang is all back together again, hahahah! Now step aside!" Sunset Shimmer yelled. She threw a fire blast at the six girls, who all hugged each other for protection. Gohan jumped in front of them and held the immense blast in his hands. He struggled to hold it, so he directed it at the sky. Rainbow Dash was the first to look. "What the...?" Rainbow Dash asked. "What!?" Applejack asked. "I'll hold her off! You figure out a way to fix her!" Gohan yelled, flying up to the new Sunset Shimmer. Sunset Shimmer threw another blast of magic at Gohan, which he kicked back at Sunset Shimmer. Sunset Shimmer dodged the blast. "You hid your strength, but the battle has only begun!" Sunset Shimmer exclaimed. "You won't win!" Gohan said. Gohan and Sunset Shimmer began to clash with barrages of punches and kicks. Gohan was only a little bit stronger. However, they seemed evenly matched. "ATATATATATATA!" Gohan yelled as he threw his punches and kicks. Gohan eventually ended the interaction with an axe kick, knocking Sunset Shimmer down to the ground. Everyone looked in shock at the battle they were witnessing. Gohan flew back down, attempting to slam Sunset Shimmer with a double axe handle. Sunset Shimmer moved out of the way in time. The impact caused the concrete to shatter. Sunset Shimmer blasted Gohan with magic, which he couldn't dodge or block in time. Gohan was damaged, but he recovered in time to redirect the blast back to Sunset Shimmer. Gohan flew beside the blast going towards Sunset Shimmer. He threw a few ki blasts at Sunset Shimmer too. Sunset Shimmer blocked every projectile, but Gohan grabbed her head and flung her behind him. Sunset Shimmer managed to throw a fire blast at Gohan before being sent flying. Gohan dodged, but he was almost hit. His shirts were hit, though. It revealed a single pec, and half of his six pack. "You're not bad. If you were good, we could have been good rivals." Gohan said. "I will still destroy you!" Sunset Shimmer said. "T-That's so cool!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed. "It's because he's the strongest being in existence." Twilight said. "W-What!? But Sunset Shimmer... She's actually keeping up!" Fluttershy said. "Gohan has another power increase in store." Twilight said. "He said he'd hold her off, what are we supposed to do!?" Applejack said. Sunset Shimmer knocked Gohan down to the ground with a double axe handle and threw a magic blast at Gohan. Gohan fired a weak Masenko to counter the blast. Gohan landed gently and sidestepped as Sunset Shimmer came down with a dropkick. He immediately kicked her in the head with extreme force. You could hear a cracked bone from it. He repeatedly kicked her again, and then grabbed her faced and dragged it across the ground. "Whoa! That's overkill!" Rainbow Dash screamed. Gohan let go, and Sunset Shimmer got back up. "Argh! You're good, but I'm still holding back!" Sunset Shimmer said. "So am I." Gohan said, going in his Super Saiyan form. Sunset Shimmer powered up. Her power was still weaker, so Gohan suppressed himself. "This time, I'm at my full potential. You won't get away with this!" Gohan said. "I'd LOVE to see you try!" Sunset Shimmer yelled. Gohan's resolute valor touched the hearts of the girls. Gohan and Sunset Shimmer were at it again, but with stronger hits. Gohan eventually broke up the interaction with a Masenko. He used the time to perform the Multi-Form Technique. Now there were four Gohans! Sunset Shimmer came back to the battlefield and was utterly shocked by this display. "Four of these nuisances!" She yelled. "Snips! Snails! Come handle this!" Sunset Shimmer demanded. Snips and Snails didn't bother. The four clones nodded to each other, and three went after Sunset Shimmer while one fell back. Despite the numbers, their powers were reduced. That doesn't mean they couldn't give Sunset Shimmer a run for her money. "Guys, did you figure it out?" Gohan asked. "Figure what out?" Rainbow Dash asked. "I'm not supposed to defeat Sunset Shimmer right now! It's up to you!" Gohan said. "Us!? What about you!? Just go Super Saiyan 2 or whatever!" Twilight said. "No, Twilight! Remember, what's your purpose in Equestria?" Gohan asked. "I'm... I'm the Princess of Friendship." Twilight said. "We can't destroy her, but we can only make her realize. Killing her is pointless! There's a good person under that mask. She was Celestia's student!" Gohan said. "Yeah, that's right!" Twilight said. Then, one of Gohan's clones came sliding across the concrete beside Gohan. "YOU'VE STALLED FOR LONG ENOUGH!" Sunset Shimmer yelled. Gohan's clones all got together to become one again. "My will to fight is endless!" Gohan shouted, charging at Sunset Shimmer again. "HA! HA! HA!" Gohan yelled has he threw many ki blasts. "T-This is an awesome battle!" Rainbow Dash squealed. "ADYA!" Gohan screamed as he performed a double axe handle on Sunset Shimmer. "Wait... That's right!" Twilight said. "What?" Rainbow Dash asked. "The magic contained in my element was able to unite us, the ones who created it!" Twilight said. Sunset Shimmer got up from the recent impact. The crown started to emit an energy towards the six. The Mane Six! "The Element of Harmony does not pertain to Sunset Shimmer, because it's purpose is for the magic of friendship!" Twilight exclaimed. Gohan halted his assault, and remained in the air. The energy, or magic actually, touched the six friends, and they all floated up in the air. The six friends all got their pony counterpart ears, tails/extra hair, and/or their wings! Well, only three got their wings. Each of them represented an Element of Harmony, despite them not wearing the necklaces. "Together, with the crown, we create a power beyond many! But it is not a power you have the ability to control!" Twilight exclaimed. The crown started to counteract with Sunset Shimmer. "The crown may be upon your head, Sunset Shimmer. But you cannot wield it! Because you don't possess the most powerful magic of all! The magic of Friendship!" Twilight said. The six floating friends all held hands to create a double rainbow that flew up and down on Sunset Shimmer. "Aaaahhh!" Sunset Shimmer screamed. "ITS NOT ENOUGH!" She screamed. She was ready to break free. "KAMEHAMEHA!" Gohan screamed, putting full power into his Kamehameha wave. The combined blasts were too much to handle. "Here and in Equestria, it is the only power than can unite us all." Twilight said. The magic of Friendship released the students from Sunset Shimmer's spell. It reversed Snips and Snails' transformation. "NOOO!" Sunset Shimmer yelled. An explosion ensued outside the school. Gohan floated back down to the ground, where his friends were. They laid on the ground. He still sensed Sunset Shimmer, but her darkness was destroyed. The Mane Six all got up again. They noticed Gohan's upper body, but he didn't realize they were looking. "We did it." Gohan said. "My goodness! Y-Your upper body..." Rarity said. Gohan looked down at his exposed skin, and hid it while blushing. There was a huge hole in the ground. "You will never rule Equestria. Any power you may have had in this world is gone!" Twilight declared. "Tonight, you've shown everyone who you truly are. You showed them what was in your heart!" She added. Everyone walked over to where the destruction occurred. Sunset Shimmer actually felt... Guilt. She was crying. Gohan smiled. She finally figured it out. "I'm sorry... I'm so sorry! I... I didn't know there was another way..." Sunset Shimmer sobbed. Gohan jumped down into the hole. Sunset Shimmer was fearful for her own life when she saw the Super Saiyan in front of her. "Of course there was. The magic of Friendship exists everywhere. You were a monster without empathy. But now you've changed. I will accept your apology. We do." Gohan said, referring to his new friends. "Huh?" The five asked. He held out a hand to Sunset Shimmer. "B-But all I've done since I've been here is drive people apart! I don't know the first thing about friendship!" Sunset Shimmer sobbed. "But it's never too late to learn, Sunset Shimmer. I bet they can teach you." Gohan said, referring to his friends again. He lifted her up, making her stand again. She looked down at him with tearful eyes. "Hugs?" Gohan asked. Sunset Shimmer took the offer, and hugged the Super Saiyan who helped her realize her mistakes. "Hugs are nice." Gohan said. Gohan brought Sunset Shimmer up to the same level as everyone else. Well, he flew up there. "I-Is he flying!?" Applebloom asked. "I sure am." Gohan said. "Woohoo! Yeah!" Spike yelled. "Did that dog just talk?" A boy asked. "Me being able to talk isn't the weirdest thing in all this." Spike said. "I, for one think you're adorable!" Rarity said, picking Spike up and scratching his ears. "I believe this belongs to you." Celestia said, bringing the crown to Twilight. "A princess leads by not forcing others to bow to her, but by inspiring others to stand with her." She said, placing the crown upon Twilight's head once more. "We have all seen you are just capable of all that." Celestia said. "I hope you see it too, Princess Twilight." Celestia said. "I do." Twilight said. Everyone cheered for Twilight. Gohan reverted back to his base form and stood on the ground again. He smiled for Twilight. "And you." Celestia said, pointing at Gohan. "Me?" Gohan asked. "Although Sunset Shimmer had us under her spell, we were able to see the fight unfold. I must say, your resolute valor alone has touched all of our hearts." Celestia said. "We thank you on behalf of this world. What is your name?" Celestia asked. "Son Gohan." Gohan said. "Son Gohan, thank you." Celestia said. "Yeah! You were like, 'Ha!' And she was like, 'Ow!' And you grabbed her face, and-" Scootaloo said, before realizing everyone was staring at her. Gohan laughed sheepishly. "What can I say, huh? I fight for my friends." He said. "Would now be a completely awkward time for a dance?" Flash Sentry asked Twilight, holding his hand out. Twilight looked at the moon. She still had time. She nodded, and took Flash Sentry's hand. *** Everyone was in the gym again, partying like there was no tomorrow. Gohan actually joined in on the dancing this time. Well, when the Crusaders asked for him to carry them as he flew. Rainbow Dash took Scootaloo for a ride with her newfound wings, while Applebloom and Sweetie Belle sat on Gohan's back as he flew around the gym. Photo Finish wanted the seven friends to get in a photo for her. So, the seven all got together, and they would never forget this night. *** Everyone was hugging Twilight and Gohan. "We'll miss you two." Everyone said. "Look out for Sunset Shimmer, guys." Gohan said. "Of course we will! Although I do expect some sort of apology from her." Rarity said. "And we owe you, Gohan for saving us!" Rainbow Dash said, lightly punching Gohan in his shoulder. "A-As long you guys will be good friends, and teach her friendship, I will personally take it as repaying your debt." Gohan said. "I have a feeling she'll be handing out a lot of apologies." Twilight said. "We better get going." Spike said. "I know we've been friends for such a short amount of time, but I'll miss you all." Twilight said. "Yeah, I'm really glad we made friends with you." Gohan said. "Aw, we'll miss you too." Rainbow Dash said. The three walked back to the portal. "That crown does suit you, Twilight." Spike said. "You know, I think I'm more comfortable in it now." Twilight said. "I think you would be, I mean you know what it's like being a human now. You know what it's like for me, except I'm... Well, me." Gohan said. The three entered the portal, back to Equestria. As the moon was full again, the portal closed and the five friends all lost their pony parts. Pinkie Pie, in an act of desperation, ran over to the statue where the portal used to be and ran into it. "Aw, bummer!" Pinkie Pie said. *** Back in Equestria, the rest of the Mane 6 and the princesses were waiting for Twilight's arrival. Suddenly, Twilight came through the portal standing on her back hooves. She put her forehooves down on the ground again. "Twilight!" Her friends shouted. "You're back!" Rainbow Dash said. "You've got your crown!" Rarity said. Pinkie Pie hugged Twilight. "I knew you could do it!" She said. "I was so worried- Wait, where's Gohan?" Applejack asked. Gohan emerged from the portal with Spike. "Gohan!" Pinkie Pie said. "Hey!" Gohan said. "It seems you have gone through quite a battle." Celestia said. "You could say that, yeah." Gohan said. "Is Sunset Shimmer alright?" Celestia asked. "She's going to be fine. I left her in good hands." Twilight said. "What are hands?" Rainbow Dash asked. "These." Gohan said, showing his hands. "Oh. Huh?" Rainbow Dash asked. *** Since Twilight couldn't be bothered to talk about what happened in the other world, Gohan took over. "There were the same ponies here, but as humans! Or basically me without the Saiyan biology." Gohan explained. The whole tale was told to the others, and now Twilight would never return. Or will she? Guilt"I'M SORRY!" Gohan screamed. He was in his Super Saiyan 2 form, and his father just sacrificed himself. Cell was going to blow the planet up, but Goku took him to King Kai's planet instead. "I'M SORRY!" Gohan screamed repeatedly. Tears were streaming down his face. "GOKU!" Krillin screamed. Gohan realized where he was again. Back when he fought Cell. 'Oh no... No!' Gohan thought. "I'M SORRY!" Gohan screamed. *** "I'M SORRY!" Gohan screamed in his sleep. "Wake up!" Fluttershy said as loud as she could. Gohan and the Mane 6 were all having a sleepover at Twilight's Treehouse. "GOHAN! GET UP!" Rainbow Dash screamed. Twilight shook Gohan as much as she could. "I'M SORRY!" He screamed. After Rainbow Dash body slammed him, he finally woke up. "Ah! Dad?" Gohan asked. "Gohan!" The Mane 6 yelled, hugging him instantly. "W-Where am I? Where's Cell!?" Gohan asked. "Cell? Didn't you beat him?" Twilight asked. "I... I did." Gohan said. The hug broke. "Why were you screaming 'I'm sorry' in your sleep?" Pinkie Pie asked. Gohan thought of that moment again. His father sacrificed himself. He actually cried. "Gohan, don't cry." Fluttershy said in a soothing voice. "Why are you crying?" Rainbow Dash asked. "I... I can't tell you." Gohan said. "Why not?" Pinkie Pie asked. "Gohan, darling. We are very concerned for you. Your screams woke us up. Has something been happening?" Rarity asked. "Don't worry, it was just a horrific nightmare." Gohan said. "You sure you'll be alright?" Applejack asked. "Don't worry... It will never come back." Gohan reassured. "Alright. Good night." They all said. *** The next day, Gohan had trouble with his own mind. The Cell Games nightmare was playing over and over in his mind. 'Why can't I just forget about it!?' Gohan thought. He was walking in Ponyville, but he accidentally walked into a wall when thinking. "I need help... But I can't tell anyone." He muttered. He flew back to his gravity chamber. He attempted to meditate without any surroundings able to distract him. But Gohan couldn't meditate. The memories suddenly resurfaced, and it was tearing him apart. There was a knock on the gravity chamber. Gohan opened the door to be greeted by Fluttershy. "Hey Fluttershy." Gohan said. "Gohan, we need to talk." Fluttershy said. *** The two were now at Fluttershy's cottage. They sipped tea. Gohan was starting to calm down with the atmosphere. The animals' noises somehow helped him calm down. "Gohan, what was your nightmare last night?" Fluttershy asked. "... I can't tell you." Gohan said. "Why not? I won't hate you for anything..." Fluttershy said. "This is different. That wasn't just a nightmare." Gohan said. "Please, I want to help you." Fluttershy said. "I know your concerned, but it was just a nightmare. It won't come back." Gohan said. "This isn't an ordinary nightmare, Gohan. You were screaming in your sleep." Fluttershy said. "Sorry, but I can't tell you. It will fix itself in time." Gohan said. "If you won't cave in, then fine." Fluttershy said. "I'm sorry, but it's too personal." Gohan said. "No, don't be sorry. I understand." Fluttershy said. "Thanks." Gohan said. *** Gohan was training in his gravity chamber again. While he practiced, those memories came back. He imagined himself pulverizing Cell, but at the same time, he couldn't forget how he got his dad killed. He eventually felt so guilty that he punched himself in the gut. "Oh gosh... Why did I do that..." Gohan asked himself before coughing up some blood. Then another knock came on the door. He shut down the gravity amplifier and opened the door. Fluttershy and Rarity were there this time. "Hello." Gohan said. "Gohan, we want you to come to the spa with us." Rarity said. "Me? Why?" Gohan asked. "Since you've been training to a very extreme extent, we thought you should take a small, relaxing rest." Rarity said. "It's so soothing..." Fluttershy said. "Uh... Okay, I'll join you." Gohan said. "Then come, follow us." Rarity said. *** Aloe and Lotus were doing a great job massaging Gohan. His privates were hidden by a large towel. "Doesn't this feel splendid?" Rarity asked. "Yeah... I feel some of my stress just chipping away." Gohan said. "It does wonders for me... I get so caught up with the animals that I need a break such as this..." Fluttershy said. "I can see why." Gohan said. *** Gohan entered the stallion's jacuzzi. The bubbles and the warm water calmed him down. 'I need to thank them for this, this is great!' Gohan thought. *** After the spa visit, Gohan was refreshed. He still couldn't help but feel terrible about his nightmare. "Thanks you two. I feel like I had a break!" Gohan said. "It is never a problem, Gohan. We are still indebted to you for your heroic deeds." Rarity said. "You didn't have to do that..." Gohan said. "Don't feel bad." Fluttershy said. "Alright, see you around." Gohan said, flying away. "I do hope he informs us about his dreams." Rarity said. "I tried, he wouldn't budge." Fluttershy said. *** "I'M SORRY!" Gohan screamed. He was having the nightmare again. But all of a sudden, everything stopped for Gohan when his dad disappeared. He looked at the others, who's facial expressions never changed at all. In fact, the wind no longer blew. "W-What the...?" Gohan muttered. "Son Gohan." He heard. He turned around to see Princess Luna. "P-Princess?" Gohan asked. "There is a reason why you are having this dream. In fact, I see you having this dream repeatedly." Luna said. "This is a dream?" Gohan asked. "Yes. I must say, your second transformation makes you fearless and ambitious rather than your usually cheerful attitude." Luna noted. "It's... It's why I don't like entering it." Gohan said. "Yes. Anyway, there's a reason you keep having these dreams. Unfortunately, I cannot find out because your dream always ends at this point. Tell me, why do you feel immensely guilty?" Luna asked. Gohan looked at his own hands. "I... I think you saw what happened." Gohan said. "Yes. Your father sacrificed himself. You need to learn how to cope." Luna said. "That... That's not what I meant. He died when I was four and he died here. Of course I cope with his death... But... I should tell you why I'm in Equestria..." Gohan said. "Excuse me?" Luna asked. "I murdered my dad because of this." Gohan said. Luna did not come up with that from her observations. "W-Why would you say that!?" Luna asked. "I... I didn't finish off Cell when I could. He died because of me." Gohan said. "It is not your fault, Gohan. This transformation of yours changes you." Luna reassured. "But... It's what happened after that. I ended Cell. You know that, but..." Gohan stopped short. "But what?" Luna asked. "I... I was... I-I..." Gohan said. "Do not feel bad to tell me. Nobody else can hear this." Luna said. "I came here to escape a horrible fate." Gohan said. "What fate?" Luna asked. "You see... I didn't come here randomly. After the Cell Games... My loved ones hunted me. My mother disowned me." Gohan said, looking down at the ground. "Oh my... I apologize." Luna said. "I... I almost died when I was in Ponyville. My teacher attempted to kill me." Gohan said. "Oh my... I never knew. Why have you hidden this from us?" Luna asked. "I don't want anyone to know the horrific truth. I gave you all an alternate ending to hide the truth." Gohan said. "But why? Why did you say Cell murdered your father and that's why you turned into this?" Luna asked. "If you think about it, I ran away from my problems by coming here! I know my father forgave me for the incident... But many of my friends didn't. They tried to kill me. I made a wish and I got here to escape. I'm responsible for his death. I'm sure you know that by now." Gohan said. Luna did not respond. "You want me to tell my friends the truth?" Gohan asked. "I believe that is the only way to relieve you of this stress." Luna said. "But... What if they don't accept me for it?" Gohan asked. "Do not falter, Son Gohan. The Element bearers would never dislike you for such a thing. Already, I have forgiven you." Luna said. "...Thank you, princess." Gohan said. *** Gohan woke up in a daze. It was sunrise. He kept having that dream for weeks. The words always echoed in his head. "I killed my father." He was amazing at hiding his emotions of guilt. It was overshadowed by his cheerfulness. He would never forget how his closest of friends Piccolo attempted to murder him, and he would never forget when his mother disowned him. He would never be able to see his own brother. He shook his head, clearing his head of those sad thoughts. "I have to get rid of this.. If only my dad would answer." Gohan muttered. Gohan planned a picnic for tomorrow. *** Today, Gohan was going to tell his friends what REALLY happened after the Cell Games. After another nightmare, he woke up. 'Come on, they forgave Sunset Shimmer for what she did. They can forgive me.' Gohan reassured himself. *** "I love picnics!" Pinkie Pie said. "Yeah, thanks for inviting us, Gohan!" Applejack said. "Sure!" Gohan said. Gohan made a plethora of food for this picnic. Most of it was for him and Pinkie Pie, but he made sure to give his friends good portions. "So... There's a reason why I invited you guys here." Gohan said. "Why's that?" Rainbow Dash asked. "It's about my nightmares." Gohan said. "So you'll finally tell us what they're about?" Twilight asked. "Not exactly... But you do need to know the truth." Gohan said. "What truth?" Applejack asked. "Remember I told you how I turned into a Super Saiyan 2?" Gohan asked. "Y-Yeah... You told us your dad died and you had enough." Pinkie Pie said. "That's not entirely true... I... I actually turned Super Saiyan 2 before that." Gohan said. "Why would you lie about that?" Applejack asked. "You see... I could have ended Cell. Instead, I let my anger take over and became sadistic. It gave him an opportunity to take everyone out with him by self destructing." Gohan said. "And?" Rarity asked. "My dad... He took Cell and himself to another world to sacrifice himself for the planet." Gohan said. "Oh... W-Why did you lie?" Twilight asked. "I caused his death!" Gohan retorted instantly, and tears streamed down his face. "No you didn't, darling..." Rarity said. "I did! I could have killed Cell when I had the chance! I even let him regenerate beforehand! Instead, I gave him the chance to take us all out." Gohan sobbed. Rainbow Dash gave a one hoof hug to Gohan. "Don't beat yourself up, Gohan." She said. "I'm not done yet." Gohan sobbed. "W-What else?" Fluttershy asked. "After I defeated Cell when he came back, my... My loved ones hunted me down." Gohan said. Everyone gasped. "Why would anyone try to kill you? Other than villains." Rainbow Dash said. "They said they wanted to avenge my father. Even my mother disowned me, and I came here because of a wish granting dragon!" Gohan sobbed. "You came to Equestria on purpose?" Twilight asked. "I left my world on purpose." Gohan said. "My first friend, who was my teacher tried to kill me before I was here. It's why you found me injured." He added. "Oh my..." Rarity said. There was an awkward silence after that. "... It's alright, Gohan." Fluttershy said. "But... How?" Gohan asked. "Gohan, we've been your friends since we met! We even saw your father, he doesn't care!" Rainbow Dash said. "And who cares about those so-called friends of yours? A friend wouldn't attempt to murder a friend." Rarity said. "Don't think of your actions as a coward, Gohan. In fact, I don't see you as a coward in the slightest! Just because you didn't want to live in a world where everyone was trying kill you, doesn't mean you're a coward." Twilight said. "... Do you guys really think... I'm not evil?" Gohan asked. "Of course not, dear." Rarity said. "You've saved our flanks too much for us to think that!" Pinkie Pie said. Gohan was touched to hear that his friends would never do as his 'friends' did. "Gohan, we could never hate you." Applejack said. Gohan smiled. "Thanks." He said. They all got into a group hug. "Aw..." They all said. "So you screaming was when your father died?" Pinkie Pie asked. "Yes... But that's in the past, now. I got amazing friends with me." Gohan said. That Nightmare never came back to haunt him again. Princess Twilight Sparkle Pt. 1Gohan and Rainbow Dash were helping Twilight get accustomed to her new wings. The Mane 6 watched. They were in Canterlot. Twilight was struggling. "You really gotta flap them hard!" Rainbow Dash said. Twilight ended up flapping them too hard and flew into a tree. "Maybe not that hard." Rainbow Dash said. Twilight tried floating back to the ground, but failed and fell flat on her face. "Looking good up there Princess Twilight!" Applejack said, helping Twilight back up. "Applejack, you don't have to call me that." Twilight said. "Why do you protest so? You've already given up wearing your crown all the time, the least you can do is embrace your new title." Rarity said. "If other ponies want to address me that way, I suppose it's fine, but not my friends." Twilight said. "Don't think that we're pampering you because you're a princess. We just like to call you princess because it is who you are." Gohan said, floating back down to the ground. "Anyway... The Summer Sun celebration is only a few days away, and I'll never be able to do my part!" Twilight said. "I don't know how to train you how to fly, that's Rainbow Dash's business. When you want to be a stronger flyer, that's where I can help." Gohan said. "Now get up there and show everypony the big finish!" Rainbow Dash said. Twilight nodded, and began to fly. She already flew normally. Her friends cheered. Twilight was having fun until she ran into clouds. Then she froze in the air, and started to fall down. She flapped her wings as hard as she could, and flew back up. Before Twilight would get into a worse situation, Gohan stopped her by holding her hoof. "Alright, that's enough." He said. *** Now everyone was in the throne room, where the stained glass were. They were looking at the one where Twilight's coronation occurred. "You look amazing, darling! They really captured your regality." Rarity said. "I suppose." Twilight said. "Oh, don't be so modest. It's everypony's dream to have a coronation and have a stained glass photo of themselves!" Rarity said. "I don't know if it's everypony's dream." Rainbow Dash said. "Yeah, to be honest, it's not my dream either." Gohan said. "Most of my dreams are about frosting!" Pinkie Pie said. "Most of my dreams are... Well, it goes from food to being a scholar." Gohan said. "We better get going, we don't want to miss our train." Fluttershy said. "Yep! I gotta few bushels to get for the Ponyville celebration. It may be here in Canterlot, but whooee! Does the mayor want it to be perfect back home!" Applejack said. Twilight smiled, but then frowned. "Don't be sad, sugarcube. You'll be up there with the princesses when Celestia raises the sun." Applejack said. "And I'm honored. Really honored. It's just that the Summer Sun Celebration first brought us all together." Twilight said. "Wait, it did?" Gohan asked. "You arrived slightly after Nightmare Moon's arrival, which prevented the Summer Sun Celebration from happening." Twilight said. "Okay, that makes sense now." Gohan said. "It just doesn't feel right not getting to spend such an occasion with my Ponyville friends." Twilight said. "Don't worry, it's just one celebration. Well, at least you have one friend." Gohan said. He was chosen to be in a front row seat as an ambassador. "It doesn't feel right to us either, darling. If the mayor wasn't so desperate for our assistance, we would certainly stay here in Canterlot. And we do understand that your royal duties must come first." Rarity said. "The Summer Sun Celebration may have brought us together, but there's something much bigger that it'll keep us all connected." Applejack said. She then pointed a hoof at the stained glass where the seven defeated Nightmare Moon. "Exhibit A!" Applejack said. "The six of us are united by Elements of Harmony. Gohan, well... He assisted us in defeating Nightmare Moon, and it was amazing. The point is, no amount of royal duties is ever going to change that." Applejack said. "Right Everypony?" She asked. Everyone but Pinkie Pie agreed. "Right, Pinkie Pie?" Applejack asked. "Gohan has armor!" Pinkie Pie said. "That was given to me by a close friend. Yeah..." Gohan said, referring to Vegeta, and he smiled. He tried to find a fond memory of him. *** Vegeta grabbed Kid Gohan by his bowl cut hair and punched him in the face repeatedly. "SO WHAT!? YOU THINK JUST BECAUSE YOUR FATHER'S A SUPER SAIYAN THAT YOU'RE BETTER THAN ME!?" Vegeta yelled. "No!" Gohan sobbed. Vegeta did it faster. "WRONG ANSWER!" Vegeta yelled. *** Gohan's smile turned into one of 'I thought it was good but now I'm having second thoughts' faces. "Uh... Anyway. Let's go." Twilight said. *** They were at the train station. The seven were saying their temporary goodbyes. "We're going to write you and add so many details it'll be like you're in Ponyville with us! Right girls?" Pinkie Pie asked. "Cross my heart and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye." They said, doing the gestures. "We already have plans after the Summer Sun Celebration, anyway. We already have an appointment on the book to add new upgrades to your new decor." Rarity said. "All aboard!" The conductor called. The seven friends all hugged, and five of them boarded the train. They all waved goodbye as the train left. Twilight sighed. She didn't want to experience the Summer Sun Celebration this way. Gohan gave her a pat on the back. "Cheer up. You have a big day ahead of you." Gohan reassured. "It's already been a minute, and I feel like I'm missing something." Twilight said. Then, a mailpony came. "For the princess." He said, hoofing the letter to Spike. "Dear Twilight, you aren't missing anything. From Pinkie Pie." Spike said. "She's prepared for all kinds of things, isn't she?" Gohan asked. "Yeah... But I am missing something. I just know it." Twilight said. *** "Check, check, check, check, and check!" Spike said, writing checks on the checklist. The dragon and the princess were in her private quarters. "What do you know? We're ahead of schedule! I credit your extremely competent assistant!" Spike said. "So do I." Twilight said. "The celebration isn't until the day after tomorrow. We could still fit in a quick trip to Ponyville and come back to finish all these things in time for the celebration! Or we could just have Gohan fly us." Spike said. "That would be nice, Spike. But what if something else came up? What if we were delayed getting back and we weren't able to finish everything on that list?" Twilight asked. She began to ramble on for absurd reasons why they probably shouldn't go to Ponyville, such as randomly forgetting how to get back to Canterlot. She was flying as she rambled, without realizing it. Eventually she hit her head on the ceiling. "So that's a no, then?" Spike asked. "These are my first royal duties Princess Celestia has given me! I can't risk letting her down!" Twilight exclaimed. "And I'm sure you won't." Celestia said. Celestia had entered Twilight's room. "Your highness!" Spike said, bowing. Twilight followed. "No need for that, now, Princess Twilight." Celestia said, getting Twilight to stand again. "Sorry!" Twilight said. Celestia chuckled. "No need to apologize." She said. "Sorry!" Twilight said with a smile. "I must admit, it is wonderful to actually be looking forward to the Summer Sun Celebration." Celestia said. "What do you mean?" Twilight asked. "For my subjects, it has always been a ceremony of my defeat of Nightmare Moon." Celestia said, watching Luna make the moon rise. "But for me..." Celestia said before she sighed. "It was just a terrible reminder that I had to banish my own sister." She added. "I guess I never really thought out it that way." Twilight said. "And now it has become a wonderful of her transformation back into Princess Luna! And our happy reunion! I am so pleased that you will be playing a role in the festivities. I know it must be difficult to see your friends go back to Ponyville." Celestia said. "A little..." Twilight said. Celestia smiled at her all the while questioning her answer. "You may no longer be my student, Princess Twilight. But I hope you know that I'll always be here if you need me. Just as you would when I need you." Celestia said. "Message for Princess Twilight!" A mailpony said. Twilight turned around and took the letter. It was from Pinkie Pie. She opened it, and confetti flew everywhere. "A letter from Ponyville, I presume?" Celestia asked all the while smiling. "Nevermind. It's not important. Spike? Where were we?" Twilight asked. "About calling it a night?" Spike asked. "Let's go over the checklist one more time." Twilight said with a smile. "I knew you were going to say that..." Spike said, pulling out the checklist. "I'll leave you to it." Celestia said, trotting away. *** Gohan was looking outside his window, at the stars. The beautiful, beautiful stars. Gohan just wanted to see Earth again. But he couldn't. Nobody would welcome him anyway. He kind of coped the fact that even his mother betrayed him, but still silently moped about it. He could just imagine himself, being at home, with his mother. *** Gohan would be studying. "Gohan! Dinner is ready!" Chi Chi called. "Coming!" Gohan would say, getting out of his chair. He would sit down at the dining table. He would gratefully eat the feast his mother would have prepped for him. After that, it would be more studying. If his mother was gone for groceries, he could sneak in some training, in honor of his father. *** "Daydreaming, are we?" Celestia asked. Gohan snapped out of his imagination. "Yeah, I am." Gohan said, looking back at Celestia with a smile. "You miss your old home, don't you?" Celestia asked. Gohan said. "Yep." He said, looking back at the stars. "I suppose this day will just be the reminder of when I escaped death by my former friends. But it's also the reminder of when I made new friends." He added. "I see. Have a good night." Celestia said, trotting away. "Good night, princess." Gohan said. Celestia was walking across the hall. Something bad happened. Something unknown. What is known was that a black vine did it. *** Twilight slept beside her window, on top of the checklist. She woke up to a surprise. "Spike?" Twilight asked. Spike was sleeptalking. "Check, check, check, check..." He said. "Spike!" Twilight said. Spike woke up, and stretched. "What time is it...?" Spike asked. "It's the middle of the night! But it could be morning... I can't tell!" Twilight said. The two looked out the window to see... The sun and the moon up at the same time. "Whoa, that is weird." Spike said. "Come on, Spike. We have to find out what is going on!" Twilight said. Suddenly, Gohan burst into the room. "Twilight! The princesses are missing!" He exclaimed. "The princesses are WHAAAAAAT!?" Twilight asked. *** Everyone was now in the throne room with some guards. "I don't understand! Where are they?" Twilight asked. "We don't know. It appears Princess Celestia and Princess Luna have suddenly vanished!" One guard said. "Vanished!" Another guard said. "Vanished!?" Spike said before passing out. "How could this have happened...?" Gohan muttered. "This is why we have come to you. We await your command!" The guards said, bowing to Twilight. "My command!?" Twilight asked. "We are officers of the Royal Guard. We take our orders from royalty. With Princess Celestia and Princess Luna gone, and Princess Cadence overseeing the Crystal Empire now, we take our orders from you." A guard said. Spike stood up again only to faint again. "Princess Twilight, we must be quick. We need to know what you want us to do!" A guard said. "I need you to continue the search for Princess Celestia and Princess Luna. We have to find them before ponies start panicking. There must be some clue as to what happened to them!" Twilight ordered. Gohan snapped his fingers. "I have an idea!" He said. "What is it?" Twilight asked. "Discord could be behind this! As a prank!" Gohan said. "That... Actually could be a cause. Guards, find Discord!" Twilight said. "Excuse me for this, but I-I'm afraid we don't know where to find Discord..." A guard said. "Okay. Keep up the search. If you find anything, anything at all, you must tell me!" Twilight said. The guards saluted, trotting away. Twilight took a deep breath. "Nice job taking charge, eh Twilight?" Spike said, getting up again. Suddenly, the doors burst open. Another guard came. "Princess Twilight! News from Ponyville! It seems that the Everfree Forest is, well... Invading!" The guard said. "What!?" Gohan asked. Twilight gasped and Spike fainted again. *** Black vines appeared all over Ponyville. They even had giant spikes on them! All of the ponies were panicking. Even the forest animals. They couldn't even get rid of the vines! They were really starting to get in the way of everyone! Even the clouds had spikes! Gohan flew to Ponyville as fast as he could. He already saw Rainbow Dash being attacked by some clouds. With lightning. Gohan fired many ki blasts to quickly dispatch of them. "Phew, thanks Gohan." Rainbow Dash said. "Maybe tell me that later!" Gohan said, flying down to the ground. The vines were already everywhere. Then, they had developed spores which made every unicorn's magic go crazy! Gohan began to blast the vines. Somehow, they worked! But they just kept coming back. "What the heck are these things!?" Gohan shouted. "They're coming from the Everfree Forest!" Applejack said. "Try as we might, us earth ponies can't do anything to get rid of them!" Applejack said. Gohan smash his fist into a treelike vine, breaking it. "This is insane! We have to get to the Everfree Forest! Get the Elements of Harmony, and- Oh, I should have brought Twilight." Gohan said. *** The rest of the Mane 6 were in the library, searching for the Elements of Harmony. Gohan was outside, destroying as many vines as he could. Twilight flew in, but was about to ram into her own house, so she teleported in. Didn't really work on Spike, and he got hurled at a window. "Oh thank goodness!" Rarity said. "I'm so sorry we went through your books without your permission!" Fluttershy said. Spike burst through the door. "Ground! Ground! Sweet, sweet ground!" He said, kissing the ground. "Okay, I get it! I need to work on my flying!" Twilight said. "Has Princess Celestia sent you to investigate?" Rarity asked. "Not exactly... You see, Princess Celestia is... Well... She and Princess Luna have..." Twilight said. "GONE MISSING!" Spike exclaimed. The rest of the Mane 6 gasped. "I don't know who's responsible, but I do know we need the Elements of Harmony to get them back!" Twilight said, putting each Element of Harmony on each pony. "We need to have an idea of what's happening before Equestria becomes plant food." Applejack said. "Any ideas?" She added. "Gohan suggested Discord... And considering the randomness, I'd say it's Discord again." Twilight said. *** The Mane 6 used their Elements of Harmony to summon Discord. Apparantly he was taking a bath. "Winter wrap up, Winter wra- Oh!" Discord said, grabbing a small towel to cover his torso. "Now Twilight, you know Princess Celestia said to give me a heads up before you summon me with that little spell she gave you." Discord said. "If you haven't noticed, I was in the middle of taking an amazing shower!" Discord said, bending his body towards Twilight, and shaking it. "Enough!" Twilight shouted, pushing Discord away. "Free Princess Celestia and Princess Luna, and st-" "Twilight, he's not responsible!" Gohan shouted. "And how do you know that!?" Twilight asked. "I understand the chaotic setting, but Discord's reformed." Gohan said. "Yeah, right!" Rainbow Dash said. "Would he risk being turned into stone again by either me or the Elements of Harmony?" Gohan asked. "Uh... I guess not." Rainbow Dash said. "Please fill me in, Gohan." Discord said, slithering around Gohan. "Well, as you can see, one of your favorite pastimes is occurring right now. Chaos. I know you love what we did with the place, but we don't know the culprit. All we know is that it's from the Everfree Forest. Now, we are going to POLITELY ask you, would you please share with us any idea about this?" Gohan asked. "Nope, sorry. Clueless." Discord said. "Alright." Gohan said. "Now hold on a second! He could be lying for all we know!" Applejack said. "Would I ever lie to you?" Discord asked with puppy dog eyes. "Yes!" Five of the Mane 6 shouted. "Um... Maybe?" Fluttershy said. "Well, it seems we're at an impasse. I'm telling the truth and you think I'm lying. What do friends do in a situation like this, Princess Twilight?" Discord asked, poking Twilight's crown. "Congrats, by the way, on the promotion you TOTALLY deserve it!" Discord said, wrapping his lion's arm around Twilight. "I say we BLAST him back to stone!" Rainbow Dash said. "I say we DON'T blast him to stone, and that we use him as help!" Gohan said. "Yeah, we can't do that!" Fluttershy said. "This is truly amazing! I almost killed this fellow, yet he's defending me." Discord said, pointing at Gohan. "I already forgave you for annoying me with those awful clones. Anyway, blasting him to stone will definitely do nothing but waste our time, and/or lose help!" Gohan said. "How?" The Mane 6 asked. "Discord possesses powerful magic. What do you mean 'How!?'!?" Gohan asked. "Besides, what if he really IS telling the truth?" Fluttershy asked. Discord had a halo appear above him. "The rest of you can learn a lesson from my dear friends Shutterfly and Han Solo." Discord said. "Uh... It's Fluttershy." Fluttershy said. "And Gohan...?" Gohan asked. "Oh right. Fluttershy and Gohan." Discord said, bringing the two in for a group hug. "So, will you help us investigate?" Gohan asked. "I suppose I could," Discord said, dropping the two and crossing his arms. "But after all the hoof pointing and besmirching my good name, I just don't know if I should do it!" Discord said, pulling out knitting needles and knitting the vines. "Why don't you ask your zebra friend?" Discord asked. "Alright, I'm just going to go in the Everfree Forest and destroy the source. This is driving me crazy." Gohan said, flying away. "Wait!" Twilight said. But he already left. Zecora appeared, dragging her belongings with her. Gohan's Life through Season 4Season 4 was just great. Starting with the Power Ponies. *** The Mane 6, Spike and Gohan were all sucked into the comic book! Spike woke up, in an outfit, surprisingly. He was atop a building, in Maretropolis! It was also nighttime, and it was not a full moon. The ponies were walking all over the streets, the businesses were as busy as ever, and oddly enough, this is a fictional world in a fictional world. Brain hurt yet? "Somepony want to tell me what the hay is going on?" Applejack asked. "Me too! Why do I have these clothes?" Gohan asked. Spike turned around to see the changed Mane 6 and Gohan! Twilight was the Masked Matter-Horn! Pinkie Pie was Fili-Second! Rainbow Dash was Zapp! Rarity was Radiance! Applejack was Mistress Mare-velous! Fluttershy was Saddle Rager! Gohan was... He was Kid Goku. He even had the Power Pole on his back, and a tail. But his hairstyle did not change. Spike named everyone except Gohan. "Uh... What even changed about you?" Spike asked. "I don't have my weighted clothes, I have kung fu shoes, my tail, and for some reason, my dad's Power Pole." Gohan said, wiggling his tail. The Mane 6 all snickered. "T-The Power Pole? What's it do?" Rainbow Dash asked. "If I tell it to extend, it extends very far. Watch. Power Pole extend!" Gohan exclaimed. The Power Pole extended all the way to the moon. Now the Mane 6 burst out in laughter. "What's so funny?" Gohan asked, oblivious to what the Power Pole could be. "I-Its nothing... Hahahah!" Rainbow Dash said. Gohan told the Power Pole to retract. "Alright, so what's going on here?" Gohan asked. "You six are the Power Ponies!" Spike exclaimed. Suddenly, an explosion could be heard. Everyone looked from atop the building to see another building be exploded. From it, emerged many giant green hairs. Then there was a very dark blue pony. "Power Ponies!" She said before cackling. "How kind of you to join us!" She added, holding an orb in her hands. The Mane 6 all looked at each other with confused looks. This blue pony was the Mane-iac! She cackled madly. "Did she just call us the Power Ponies?" Applejack asked. "Y-You're the superheroes from my comic book! It somehow zapped us all in here!" Spike said. "Then somepony find a way out!" Rainbow Dash said. "My comic book... It said to get back where we started we have to defeat the Mane-iac!" Spike said. "So why don't we just have Gohan do it?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Why don't YOU guys with your newfound powers give it a shot?" Gohan retorted, pointing a finger at each of the Mane 6. "Time for the MANE event!" The Mane-iac said, using her very elongated mane to grab a pretzel stand and throw it at the eight. She missed, but startled the ponies. She then grabbed a mailbox and threw it at Pinkie Pie. It seemingly crushed her! "Pinkie! Where'd she go!?" Rainbow Dash asked. "WHEEE!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed, running super fast all over the buildings of Maretropolis. "She could be miles away from here by now! She's Fili-Second! Fastest pony in all of Maretropolis!" Spike explained. Applejack used her new lasso in an attempt to wrangle Mane-iac, but instead traps it around a lamppost. She tried pulling it back, but got pulled towards the lamppost and suddenly trapped herself. Applejack tried in vain to get out. The Mane-iac cackled in response. "Twilight! Freeze her mane!" Spike exclaimed. "Do what?" Twilight asked. "You're the Masked Matter-Horn! You can shoot all kinds of crazy things with your horn!" Spike exclaimed. Twilight tried to blast ice, but it only created a tiny snowflake. Which melted. "You know, I'm beginning to enjoy this!" Mane-iac exclaimed, cackling. The Power Ponies gasped as a fire hydrant was being sent their way. "Dash! Quick! You're Zapp, you can control the mighty forces of nature!" Spike exclaimed. "Unholster the lightning bolt!" Spike exclaimed. Rainbow Dash flew up and away, and held her lightning necklace up towards the sky! The clouds began to appear closer to Rainbow Dash, creating lightning. It created a tornado on top of the building. "LIGHTNING, NOT A TORNADO!" Spike exclaimed. The remaining Power Ponies were sucked into the tornado. Even Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie, who hilariously brought a tray of cupcakes. The Mane-iac used her mane to seat herself. "Fluttershy! You're Saddle Ranger! Lose your temper and become a super strong monster!" Spike exclaimed. "Oh gosh! That wouldn't be very polite!" Fluttershy exclaimed. "Rarity, use your diamonds to create an attack construct!" Spike said. "What is an attack construct!?" Rarity asked. "You can create anything! Your bracelet makes it appear!" Spike exclaimed. Rarity pointed her hoof and created a teapot and cups. Which were sequentially sent flying at Spike. "SOMETHING USEFUL!" Spike exclaimed. Spike was eventually flung at a wall. Spike noticed what the Mane-iac held in her mane. It was the Electro Orb! "Well! This has been quite a MANE raising experience, but I really must be going!" Mane-iac said before laughing. Spike attempted to steal the Electro Orb while she was distracted, but he tripped and made a loud noise. The Mane-iac picked up the Electro Orb with her mane. "Thank you, Hum Drum!" The Mane-iac yelled before taking off and cackling while she did. Spike inspected his new outfit. "I'm Hum Drum...?" He asked. The tornado sucked Spike back in again. "Applejack! You need to stop the tornado from destroying the city!" Spike exclaimed. "I would, but every time I move this lasso gets tighter!" Applejack exclaimed, and the lasso did get tighter. "You're psychically connected to it! Use it to go wherever you want it to go! And it will obey you!" Spike exclaimed. Applejack loosened the grip, releasing herself. She used her psychic lasso to lasso the tornado shut, making it explode and disappear. "That was fantastic!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed. All who were sucked into the tornado landed gently. Gohan flew down from the building and landed gently. "Wow, that went great." He said sarcastically. "Shut it, Gohan!" Rainbow Dash said. "Let me get this straight, we've been sucked into some sort of comic book world?" Applejack asked. "Technically, it's called Maretropolis. And if we want to get back to Ponyville, we have to stop the Mane-iac from using her doomsday device and destroy it!" Spike exclaimed. During all that, Rainbow Dash attempted to strike Gohan with lightning, which he dodged comedically. "No biggie. I was already awesome, and now we've got superpowers!" Rainbow Dash said. Spike sighed. "Almost all of us have superpowers." He muttered. "But you must have some sort of power, your character is wearing a cape!" Rarity said, lifting Spike's cape with a staff she constructed. "Yeah, for absolutely no reason. He's pretty much useless." Spike said. "Good thing you're not really Hum-Drum, then." Twilight reassured. "Yeah, good thing!" Spike said. Rainbow Dash stopped trying to zap Gohan with her lightning and landed on the ground. "So the six of us Power Ponies will take care of Mane-iac and it will get us back to Ponyville!" Rainbow Dash said. "Why don't we just have Gohan trail her? He's clearly a lot stronger than all of us combined. He wasn't fazed by a tornado!" Twilight said. "Why don't the superheroes take the Mane-iac on? Clearly she's your arch nemesis." Gohan said. "Yeah, plus it's more AWESOME that way!" Rainbow Dash said. "So, Spike. Where is the Mane-iac building her doomsday device?" Twilight asked. "Her top secret headquarters! But you better get there quick, the glowing orb she just stole is going to be used to power it up!" Spike said. "Alright, but Gohan's helping no matter what!" Rarity said. "Alright." Gohan said. "Lead the way, Spike!" Applejack said. "Then leave the rest to us!" Rainbow Dash said. Spike still didn't feel good being a powerless sidekick. *** The Power Ponies and the two others arrived at Mane-iac's Shampoo Factory. "Alright Power Ponies, here's the plan. Rarity, you-" "COME ON OUT MANE-IAC!" Rainbow Dash interrupted Twilight. Rainbow Dash was in front of a sign with a pony cleaning her hair. "Or the Power Ponies are coming in!" Rainbow Dash yelled. She then summoned lightning to destroy the sign. "So much for element of surprise." Twilight said. The Power Ponies trotted towards the entrance of the building. Spike seemed insecure, and Gohan noticed. "Spike, is something wrong?" He asked. "I don't want to be the sidekick, I want to be a hero!" Spike exclaimed. "All heroes need a sidekick. If not, they'll be doomed without them!" Gohan reassured. "Yeah, right." Spike said, walking towards the building with the Power Ponies. Gohan followed. Rainbow Dash was still zapping the sign. "Maybe nobody's home. We'll just come back later." Fluttershy said. Then cackling could be heard. "She's home." Rarity said. The building opened with a horde of stallions ready to fight. "Time to Power Pony-" Applejack said before Gohan sequentially blasted them all with a shockwave from his palm, knocking them out. "Oh come on! Let us use our powers for ONCE!" Rainbow Dash said. "Sorry! Sorry! I just acted on instinct, I'll let you guys handle the next ones!" Gohan said. "Well, that makes it easier, I guess. Alright Power Ponies, let's take care of the Mane-iac!" Twilight said. The Mane-iac suddenly appeared. "I don't know about that! I have a city to destroy! And I'm not about to let the Power Ponies stop me! NOT THIS TIME!" The Mane-iac exclaimed. "Just you watch!" Rainbow Dash said, charging at the Mane-iac. The Mane-iac pulled out a giant hair spray can. "The hair spray ray of doom! It stops you in your tracks and renders your powers useless!" Spike exclaimed. The Mane-iac sprayed the incoming Rainbow Dash, completely stopping her. She even landed without moving an inch. "We'll just see about that!" Rarity said. Rarity, Applejack, Twilight and Pinkie Pie all charged at the Mane-iac. Twilight shot a freeze blast, but to no avail. The Mane-iac sprayed the four of them, stopping them. Fluttershy hid behind a mailbox, while Spike was actually inside it. The Mane-iac sprayed her and took her with her mutated mane. "D-Don't spray me!" Spike said. The Mane-iac cackled. "Oh when would I ever use the hair spray of of doom on you, Hum Drum?" She asked. More of the Mane-iac's henchmen appeared and attempted to drag the Power Ponies inside the facility. Until Gohan stepped in. He blasted them all with ki blasts, knocking them out. "Alright, that's enough!" Gohan shouted. "And what's monkey going to do about it!?" The Mane-iac shouted, spraying Gohan with the spray. She cackled. Gohan had a ki barrier around him so he wouldn't be affected by it. "And what was that supposed to do?" He asked. The Mane-iac was shocked as the spray didn't work. Gohan immediately kicked the Mane-iac square in the face. "Impossible! You shouldn't posses such power!" The Mane-iac screamed. Then, Gohan had a great idea to boost Spike. "Spike, I need your help on this one!" Gohan shouted. "What?" Spike asked. "I need you to help me defeat the Mane-iac!" He shouted. "What is it?" Spike asked, rushing to Gohan's side. "You may not know, Mane-iac, but Hum Drum has super strength!" Gohan exclaimed. Spike was confused himself. "What!? He does not!" The Mane-iac shouted. "Oh yeah?" Gohan asked. Gohan put his hand on Spike's back, and gave him a HUGE cup of temporary ki. Spike was shocked as to the immense energy he felt! He actually felt like a superhero! "Why doesn't he hit you himself?" Gohan asked. "Oh yes, please hit me! I'm wide open!" The Mane-iac said, cackling. Spike ran up to her, jumped and punched her square in the chest. The Mane-iac was pushed back, actually. "W-What!? Impossible! How could he attain such strength!?" The Mane-iac asked. Gohan was fast enough to put Spike behind the Mane-iac's head, on her back, and put himself in front of her. "ATTACK!" He yelled, throwing barrages of punches and kicks at the Mane-iac. Spike's punches and kicks ACTUALLY did damage, and prevented the Mane-iac from potentially escaping the duo's combination! Still, the attacks were mediocre, but they did something. The ground began to rise from the sheer power of the attacks. "Spike! Grab on to her back!" Gohan yelled. Spike stopped his assault and hung on to her back. Gohan grabbed the Mane-iac by her chest, and flew up with the other two. He then began to fall back down to the ground with the Mane-iac, spinning while they did so. Spike became dead weight in order to increase the damage dealt. As the Mane-iac's head was smashed into the street, she was able to stay on the ground. She stood up, but couldn't even move properly. Gohan put Spike on his back. "Ready?" He asked. "Ready!" Spike exclaimed. Gohan immediately went up to the Mane-iac's stomach and began to pummel her at blinding speeds. He finished with a heavy roundhouse axe kick which smashed the Mane-iac away while smashing the ground too. He jumped up and unleashed a Kamehameha wave on her! "TOGETHER!" He screamed. "HA!" Gohan and Spike yelled, with Gohan blasting the Mane-iac and her mane to oblivion. "NOOOOOOOOOoooooooooo......." The Mane-iac screamed as she died. Spike's power boost wore off. "That... Was... SO COOL!" Spike exclaimed. Gohan chuckled. "I take it that you liked being the hero for once?" He asked. "I was still the sidekick, but you gave me all those powers, and I was able to beat her up with you! That was so awesome!" Spike exclaimed. "Hold on, one more thing." Gohan said. Gohan destroyed the building with a powerful blast. "The day has been saved by-" Spike said, before he, Gohan and the Power Ponies were sucked into the sky. The Mane 6, Spike and Gohan no longer had their new features. Gohan even lost his tail! (Don't worry, It'll be back.) The Mane 6 were able to move again. "That was awesome! Gohan and Spike, they were like 'bamabamabam!' And the Mane-iac lost like 'NOOOOOOOO'" Rainbow Dash exclaimed. "Well, I couldn't have stoped Mane-iac without him. He did keep her from escaping." Gohan said, looking down at Spike. Spike chuckled. "Yeah, I felt like I had superpowers!" He said. *** And then Rainbow Dash received training from Gohan. *** "Come on, I really want to become faster than you!" Rainbow Dash begged. The two were at Gohan's shack. "But you're requesting the EXACT same training I had originally received, and that's WAY too harsh. I'll tone it down for you, because you won't be able to survive." Gohan said. "Whatever! I'll take what I can get!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed. "Just no fighting me AT ALL. Not again!" Gohan said. "Aw... Really? I really wanted to test my skills after a while!" Rainbow Dash whined. "You got put in the hospital afterwards! Unless I sense extreme power brimming from you, you cannot battle me." Gohan said. "Ugh. Fine. Just tell me what I have to do." Rainbow Dash said. "For now, exercise. I will need to study on martial arts for ponies. However, we sill still endure rigorous training." Gohan stated firmly. "Alright, I'm game!" Rainbow Dash said. *** Gohan had Rainbow Dash pick up her saddlebags. "So, any particular reason why we need these?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Yep. We will amp things up as time passes, but for now these will be your weights." Gohan said, putting a few moderate sized rocks in her saddlebags. It did make her sweat, but she could walk normally and do everything she normally could. It was just twice as hard. "A-Alright, I think I can handle it." She said. "So today will be just a warmup. We're going to do plenty of push-ups and running to boost the strength and speed of your hooves." Gohan explained. "Okay, think I can handle that. Anything with these babies?" Rainbow Dash asked, fluttering her wings. "Possibly. You may need them. But, if you do that on your own time, then keep doing that there." Gohan said. So they did push-ups and running for about an hour before Rainbow Dash decided to call it a day. "Alright, I'll look up pony martial arts for tomorrow." Gohan said. "See you!" Rainbow Dash said, flying away. *** "Okay, I gathered as much as I could from the library. Apparently nobody has used these in a very long time. Plenty of centuries have passed since ponies have mastered martial arts, mainly because of it's difficulty. It will be easier for you, because you're a pegasus." Gohan said. "Alright, so what do I have to do?" Rainbow Dash asked. "You need to stand only on your backhooves. Like I stand on my two feet." Gohan said. "Um... That's really hard." Rainbow Dash said. "Use your wings. It's a lot easier for you, since you can use your wings just the right amount to keep half your body in the air, yet not enough to lift your whole body." Gohan said. "Well, that makes it easier!" Rainbow Dash said. https://derpicdn.net/img/2014/2/12/550165/full.gif "Great. Your stance is perfect for evading low attacks, but we need to master movement. For now, we will power up every one of your hooves by running on all fours. When you master this stance, with or without your wings, we will power up your forehooves with plenty of push-ups, while powering up your backhooves with plenty of squats." Gohan said. "Sounds good." Rainbow Dash said. Gohan began to train Rainbow Dash in martial arts once she could master movement in her stance. She could even jump! But she wasn't able to keep her stance without her wings. "For your first lesson, I will show you the common mistakes fighters make. Now, tell me what's wrong with this strike?" Gohan asked, swinging his fist with plenty of strength, but it was heavy so he took a lot more time before he could guard again. "Uh... I don't see it." Rainbow Dash said. "I punched the air with too much force. When I do that, I'm really open to attacks. So, you shouldn't swing at your opponents with full force at all times. Using your Sonic Rainboom is an example of what you really shouldn't do in a fight, despite how much damage it can do." Gohan said. "Alright. So how do I show my awesome moves without getting jumped?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Swift, but not too forceful strikes are key. You need to attack, yet have the ability to guard, attack again or dodge as quickly as possible." Gohan said. "For example, look at this." Gohan said. Gohan punched the air, but instantly pulled his fist back. He did it pretty slowly, but it was visible enough for Rainbow Dash to understand. "I was able to react to any incoming attack in that interval because of how swift my attack was. However, you can't be too weak in delivering the attacks." Gohan said. "When can I really dish out all of my strength?" Rainbow Dash asked. "If your opponent happens to be huge, or incredibly slow, then that's a good start. However, against an enemy like an average pony, you have to somehow immobilize them, or strike when their own attacks create gaping openings." Gohan said. "So... Unleash my full power when they're really open?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Not full power, but a good amount. Going full power would exhaust you much faster than you weakening the opponent with weaker strikes over time. It's all about patience." Gohan said. They spent a long time on training, as Rainbow Dash had a lot to learn. *** Discord did help Gohan train, hilariously. *** "GIVE ME BACK MY FATHER'S GI!" Gohan shouted. They were at Fluttershy's cottage, and Discord decided to change Gohan's attire. It was Piccolo's attire. "Discord, be nice and give Gohan his gi back." Fluttershy said. "Oh, but doesn't it bring back so many memories, Gohan?" Discord asked, slithering around Gohan. "Yes. Horrible, horrible memories." Gohan said, angrily. "Why?" Fluttershy asked. "The person who wore this threw me at a plateau for my first lesson! A freaking plateau!" Gohan said. "Give me back my gi!" He shouted. Discord appeared extremely smaller on top of Gohan's shoulder. "You're no fun." He said, reverting his gi back to it's original. "If you're so good at changing clothes, can you make mine heavier?" Gohan asked as Discord flew off his shoulder and went back to his normal size. "I suppose, how much heavier?" Discord asked. "Make it ten." Gohan said. "Over four thousand, huh?" Discord asked. "D-Don't go overboard, Gohan!" Fluttershy exclaimed. "Don't worry, I need to get a lot stronger. I've already handled 100x normal gravity." Gohan said. "Consider it done." Discord said, snapping his fingers. Gohan's gi was now 4300 kilos! "Alright, thanks! That makes up for you changing my gi." Gohan sneered. "Oh, that works out." Discord said. *** Then Flutterbat did not last long. *** "That isn't Fluttershy, that's Flutterbat!" Rarity exclaimed. The Mane 6, Spike and Gohan were at Sweet Apple Acres. Apparently, the fruit bats were consuming Applejack's apples during harvest season. The fruit bats were relieved of their appetite for apples, but resulted in Fluttershy being a mutated bat herself. She feasted on the apples. Nobody knew who devoured the apples. She just transformed again, and now the truth was revealed. Flutterbat attempted to fly away. ...But Gohan flew up and delivered a chop to her neck, knocking her out. *** The tryouts for the Equestria Games had a little drama, but Ponyville pulled through in the end. *** Gohan was selected to be part of Ponyville's relay team, much to his dismay. Fluttershy was going to drag him over there no matter what! She was in front of his shack. "Why did Rainbow Dash have to pick me!? Come on!" Gohan whined. "Now Gohan, she wants you to join us since you're her instructor." Fluttershy said. "Ugh. Do I really have to go?" Gohan whined. "Yes. Wouldn't you please, please, PLEASE come?" Fluttershy asked with puppy dog eyes. "....Alright, I'll come." Gohan said. "Yay." Fluttershy said. *** Now Gohan, Fluttershy, Angel and Rainbow Dash were in a secluded location just outside Ponyville. "Alright pony and person! Listen up!" Rainbow Dash commanded. "We're all ears. Right Gohan?" Fluttershy asked. "Yes ma'am." Gohan said, straight at attention, with a smile. "I don't like your attitude!" Rainbow Dash said. Gohan gave Rainbow Dash a death stare. "Uh... Nevermind. Anyway, it's going to take a lot to get us to the Equestria Games! We are the aerial relay team, and it's up to us to make sure we qualify at the tryouts. And do I need to remind you how much I- I mean, Ponyville wants to qualify and make it into the games?" Rainbow Dash asked. "I remember! I really, really want to qualify for you, and Ponyville." Fluttershy said. "I want to qualify for everyone in Ponyville!" Gohan beamed. "Give me an E for Ponyville!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed, suddenly appeared in a cheerleaders outfit. She pulled out a megaphone. "YAAAAAY PONYVIIIIILE!" Pinkie Pie screamed, startling Fluttershy. "E!" Gohan screamed, actually knocking Pinkie Pie away. "Thanks Pinkie Pie! That was a scary- I mean, big cheer!" Fluttershy said. "Just make sure you have what it takes when we QUALIFY for the aerial relay." Rainbow Dash said. "With a gold medal, I presume?" Gohan asked. "Not so fast!" Applejack said, pulling a cart. "You're gonna be good? You're gonna be better with my Apple Brown Bettys in ya!" Applejack said. "They're perfect!" Applejack said. Gohan rushed to the cart. "Can I have one!?" He asked, holding up a finger. "Yes you can! Come on Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash!" Applejack said. Gohan wolfed one down in an instant. Then Pinkie Pie appeared inside the cart, shouting: "P IS PERFECT!" Applejack and Fluttershy were snacking on one as well, while Rainbow Dash facehoofed. "Alright team!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed. This put Gohan and Fluttershy at attention. "Show me what ya got!" Rainbow Dash said. "Put some bend into those knees!" Rainbow Dash commanded. Fluttershy and Gohan bent their knees. "Flap those wings!" Rainbow Dash commanded. Fluttershy flapped her wings. "And I want to see all four hooves off the ground on the count of three! ........ONETWOTHREE!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed. Fluttershy and Gohan hovered over the ground. "Alright!" Rainbow Dash said. *** Now the Mane 6, Spike and Gohan were on a train to Rainbow Falls. "It was nice of you to be part of the team without the strongest flyers." Twilight said. "Nothing nice about it! I can pick up the slack for anypony. Put me on the team, and we'll qualify. I'm sure of it." Rainbow Dash bragged. "Ponyville's lucky to have you. And Gohan." Twilight said. "Yeah, I'm awesome." Rainbow Dash said. "I am so proud to representing Ponyville. It's such an honor to even try out for the games! I just hope I don't let anypony down." Fluttershy said. "Don't worry. You're a good flyer, especially after the training I put you through." Gohan said, referring to the group tornado. "You'll make everyone proud." He added. "P IS FOR PROUD!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed. "WE'RE GOING TO BE THE BEST STAND THAT ANYPONY HAS EVER SEEN!" Pinkie Pie shouted. "I can't wait to see what everypony else is wearing. Even though I'm sure they WON'T be better than the Ponyville uniform for the Equestria Games..." Rarity said. "I'm not wearing it, am I?" Gohan asked. "Oh heavens, no. It will take me extra weeks to figure that out." Rarity said. "Alright, good." Gohan said. "And we WILL make it to the games after everyone snacks on my Apple Brown Bettys!" Applejack said, holding out an Apple Brown Betty. Gohan wolfed it down immediately, causing everyone else to laugh. "I CAN'T WAIT!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed. *** They were finally at Rainbow Falls, where there were waterfalls of rainbows. The team, along with Ponyville's spectators were walking by the training area. Rainbow Dash received some attention. "That's Rainbow Dash! She's an awesome flyer!" A stallion pointed out. "I heard she's flying the second third of the relay!" A mare said. As Gohan set up the Ponyville station, the Wonderbolts flew overhead. "The Wonderbolts!" A stallion pointed out. "I hear they're flying for Cloudsdale!" A mare said. "Then Cloudsdale will definitely qualify. They're the best flyers EVER!" A mare said. The Wonderbolts landed beside the Ponyville team. "And the game is on!" Spitfire said. "Huh, nice to see there's some real competition here!" Soarin said, moving his goggles away from his eyes to reveal his green eyes. "Two more days of practice, and we'll see you in the air, Rainbow Dash!" Fleetfoot said. "If you're lucky." She added. "Oh, we are. We have me, and Gohan." Rainbow Dash bragged, pointing her hoof at Gohan, who was doing one arm push-ups for lack of training today. "That's the same kid who spectated at the academy, right?" Spitfire asked. "Yep!" Rainbow Dash said, then inching towards Spitfire's ear. "Between you and me, he's wearing 4300 kilos, and he's still faster than me." Rainbow Dash whispered. "I told you not to tell anyone!" Gohan exclaimed, much to Rainbow Dash's surprise. "Wow, seems like you have quite the team!" Spitefire said. "See you later." She added, and the Wonderbolts trotted away. Twilight trotted up to beside Rainbow Dash. "The Wonderbolts know a winner when they see one. And we'll be winners as soon as we practice!" Rainbow Dash bragged. "Right team!?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Right." Fluttershy said. "Already on it!" Gohan said, continuing to count. He was on 760. "HOORAY!" Pinkie Pie yelled, blowing into a party favor. "And, um... I'm with her! Hooray!" Twilight said. Then, there were the cheerleaders for Cloudsdale. Pinkie Pie gasped. "WHERE CAN I GET POM POMS LIKE THOSES!?" She asked. *** "So, do I need to remind you what our goal is here?" Rainbow Dash asked, flying. "To win the Equestria Games?" Gohan asked. "That, and we WANT to qualify! We need to be one of the four teams to cross the finish line." Rainbow Dash said. "B-But what if one of us are injured?" Fluttershy asked. "I came prepared! Senzu beans! Got 8 right here." Gohan said, patting his little baggie. "Alright, Fluttershy, you're up first! Let me see you flap!" Rainbow Dash said. Fluttershy flew in the air, and began to pick up speed. Until Applejack tossed an Apple Brown Betty at her. "Sorry! Got the idea from them!" Applejack said, pointing a hoof at the Cloudsdale chefs. They were using contraptions to toss their foods into the air for the Wonderbolts. And they did a fine job. "It looks like they got better aim." Applejack said. "...Okay, anyway! The passing of the baton needs to be as quick as possible! You shouldn't miss a wingbeat, or drop a hair in attitude! And whatever you do, don't let go of it!" Rainbow Dash said, putting the horseshoe baton on Fluttershy's hoof. "10,000! Alright, now..." Gohan said, flying up to Fluttershy. "Are you sure you can take it? I want to be really, really sure that you're ready." Fluttershy said. "Yes." Gohan said. Fluttershy held her hoof out, and Gohan grabbed the horseshoe. "Alright, seems good enough. Hey, Rainbow, think fast!" Gohan said, lightly tossing the horseshoe to Rainbow Dash. Rainbow Dash caught it. "Was that a joke?" She asked. "It was your reflexes." Gohan said. *** "Watch, the Wonderbolts are the best flyers there are!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed. "And my personal heroes." Rainbow Dash said. "SO! Maybe you can learn something!" Rainbow Dash said. "My personal hero is my dad." Gohan said. Now they looked upwards at the flyer, Soarin. "Come on, Soarin! Pick up the pace! You can do better than that!" Fleetfoot exclaimed. "Sure hope so." Spitfire said, who was getting a hoof massage. Soarin got a little too ahead of himself, and hit his wing on a hoop! He was about to crash land at high speeds, he'd certainly die! Rainbow Dash came to the rescue, carrying him on her back. "Gotcha!" She said. They landed, and Soarin's wing was really busted. Everyone cheered for Rainbow Dash. "That was awesome!" Fleetfoot said. "As good as any Wonderbolt." Spitfire said. "Oh, Rainbow Dash, I'm so proud of you! You scooped Soarin out of the sky, and brought him down to the ground! Now, now he's okay. At least, I hope he's okay. Are you okay?" Fluttershy asked. "Ah, well my wing hurts!" Soarin said. The other two Wonderbolts were not happy to hear this. "But I'm sure it'll be okay by the competition." Soarin said. But, the paramedics came, taking Soarin. "You're the best, Rainbow Dash." Soarin said. "Aw, it was nothing." Rainbow Dash said. "But if you want to keep talking about how great I am, don't let me stop you!" She added as the paramedics took Soarin away. "Tough break that they took a teammate before the tryouts." Rainbow Dash said. Spitfire and Fleetfoot looked at each other, and got the same idea. "You know..." Fleetfoot said, putting her sunglasses on. "You grew up in Cloudsdale." She added. "So that means you can fly with us." Spitfire said. "Fly?" Rainbow Dash asked. Gohan heard it all. 'Oh come on, Rainbow. Don't do it.' He thought. "We mean practice. You can practice with us until Soarin's better." Fleetfoot said. "What'dya say? Want to be our third?" Spitfire asked. "Uh... I don't know. My team will need the to be our best in order to qualify." Rainbow Dash said. "Don't want to be too worn out by the time the race comes around." She added. "We put you through plenty of intense workouts at the Wonderbolts Academy, and you went through those just fine." Spitfire said. "I did kick some major tail at the academy. But I don't know how my team will feel if I practice with the competition." Rainbow Dash said. "Who says they need to know?" Fleetfoot asked. She grabbed Rainbow Dash's face. "Think about it, Rainbow Dash. This is your chance to fly with the winners." She added. Rainbow Dash looked back at Gohan and Fluttershy. Gohan was doing sit-ups while Fluttershy was cheering him on. "...Alright, I'll do it." Rainbow Dash said. 'Come on, Rainbow!' Gohan thought as he did sit-ups. "Wise decision, Rainbow Dash." Spitfire said. *** Rainbow Dash practiced with the Wonderbolts more than she did with her own team. Despite Gohan's excellence, Fluttershy was almost a lost cause. She couldn't do her wing-ups. But, Gohan was helping her. "You keep doing your wing-ups, I'm going to get some water." Rainbow Dash said, flying away. That was only one instance of her backing out. Then, when eating for break, she even went off without eating a single Apple Brown Betty, while Gohan was devouring them all. Rainbow Dash went to fly with the Wonderbolts again. She got her hooves shined, she even got a uniform! ...While Gohan and Fluttershy were playing dress up with Rarity. Gohan was actually having fun dressing as a princess, or so he called it. Don't get the wrong idea, he's not becoming that. *** Rainbow Dash took a break from practice, and went to drink some water from the lake. "Rainbow Dash, why are you flying with the Wonderbolts?" Gohan asked. Rainbow Dash spit her water out. "Y-You know?" She asked. "I know? I heard it myself!" Gohan said. "Does anypony else know?" Rainbow Dash asked. "No, that'd upset Fluttershy." Gohan said. "If you see me and the other teams practicing, we're still gonna qualify." Rainbow Dash said. "I can fly fast enough to make up the difference." She added. "Yes, but Fluttershy needs help practicing, and I'm no wing expert!" Gohan said. "But it's so much fun to fly with the winners than the... Well, non winners." Rainbow Dash said. "We're not winners to you?" Gohan asked, a little hurt. "N-No, forget I said that. Ponyville will still qualify." Rainbow Dash said. Spitfire and Fleetfoot landed nearby. "Rainbow Dash, you got a minute?" Spitfire asked. 'Oh no.' Gohan thought. "Uh, sure." Rainbow Dash said, flying away. "You're really an asset to the team, so... We want you to join the Cloudsdale team. Permanently." Fleetfoot said. Rainbow Dash gasped in excitement. "It looks like Soarin's wing won't heal for the tryouts, and we want you to fly with us." Spitfire said, wrapping a hoof around Rainbow Dash said. "This does mean you can't fly for Ponyville. But let's face it, with a wingless monkey and her around, your chances of entering the game are pretty slim." Fleetfoot said. The three watched as Fluttershy flew through the hoops rather slowly. "So, what'll it be?" Spitfire asked. "Well... I, uh..." Rainbow Dash stuttered. "Take some time to think about it." Spitfire said, flying away with Fleetfoot. Rainbow Dash flew circles around Gohan. "They want ME to fly with THEM! It's like a dream come true!" Rainbow Dash said as she laid down. "So, you'll fly for Cloudsdale? Leaving behind the team?" Gohan asked. "But I really want to fly with the BEST team! What would you do if someone like THEM offered you a spot on their team?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Considering you're a fan, I'd still say no! Ugh, if you want to go join them, fine. We won't enter." Gohan said, walking away. "You better decide soon, the race is tomorrow." He added. Now Rainbow Dash felt bad. Would she really abandon her friends and their work just to be with another team? *** "Oh, OH WOE IS ME!" Rainbow Dash cried. She rolled up to the training field with so many bandages, and in a wheechair! "What happened!?" Fluttershy asked. Gohan facepalmed. "Oh, I've hurt my hoof!" Rainbow Dash said. 'What about the other places, huh!?' Gohan thought. Everyone else gasped. Spitfire inspected Rainbow Dash. "All hooves?" Spitfire asked. "Let's get her to the hospital, NOW!" Gohan shouted. He still knew Rainbow Dash was bluffing. *** Now Rainbow Dash was in a hospital bed, and couldn't move her hooves or wings. Or, she just didn't. All but one friend left Rainbow Dash after a visit. Gohan. "Come on, why did you fake it?" Gohan whispered. "I couldn't decide!" Rainbow Dash whispered. Just then, a curtain next to Rainbow Dash opened. "You sure have nice friends. Nobody visits me." Soarin said. "They're too busy practicing, I guess." Soarin said. "Well, hopefully your wing will be better soon." Rainbow Dash said. "Oh, it's fine. I'm just keeping it warm in case my team wants me back." Soarin said. "What do you mean, wants you back? Spitfire and Fleetfoot told me you were too injured to fly." Rainbow Dash said. "And they told me that they worried that I wouldn't be at 100% during the tryouts! So they were going with somepony else." Soarin said. "I think we pieced it together." Gohan said. "Yeah, that somepony else was me!" Rainbow Dash said. "W-Well, until I got hurt, that is." Rainbow Dash corrected. "Well, I guess we're both out of luck. Cloudsdale won't qualify without three flyers, and Ponyville won't qualify without you!" Soarin said. "Too bad..." Soarin said. Rainbow Dash inspected a dropped flag on the floor. She knew what she had to do now. "Gohan, senzu bean." Rainbow Dash said. "Senzu bean?" Gohan asked. "Senzu bean." Rainbow Dash said. "Senzu bean!" Gohan shouted, seemingly throwing a senzu bean with all his might! ...But actually lightly tossing it. Rainbow Dash unbandaged herself. "Whoa, you're okay!" Soarin said. "Take one too, you'll be 100% with this." Gohan said, tossing a senzu bean to Soarin. *** The three were walking to the training field. Rainbow Dash and Soarin had no bandages. "Is that Rainbow Dash... Walking?" Twilight asked. Spitfire and Fleetfoot noticed Rainbow Dash, with Soarin too. "Does this mean you're feeling better?" Fleetfoot asked. "I feel great, because of a senzu bean." Rainbow Dash said with a smirk. "Senzu bean!" Gohan yelled, throwing a senzu bean at Rainbow Dash, who tossed it back. "But now I know if I'll be flying with Ponyville or Cloudsdale." Rainbow Dash said. "I know now who I should have been loyal to." She added. "Good choice, Rainbow Dash. Always stick with the winners." Spitfire said. "Ponyville." Rainbow Dash said, much to Spitfire and Fleetfoot's shock. "Because it's not just where I live, but it's where my friends are. The ponies and person who care about me." Rainbow Dash said. The Ponyville team cheered. "...Are you sure about that?" Spitfire asked. "You lied to me about Soarin's wing just so you could get a better flyer!" Rainbow Dash said, pointing at Soarin, who was also displeased. "And how dare you call Gohan, who's saved your flank on numerous occasions, a wingless monkey!?" She yelled. "SHE DID WHAT!?" Pinkie Pie asked. Pinkie Pie was charging at Spitfire, but Gohan intervened and put her in a full nelson. "I'M GONNA RIP HER TO SHREDS AND EVI-" "Calm down!" Gohan interrupted. "You may be a winning team, but you're still not the kind of team I want to be a part of." Rainbow Dash said. "...Huh. Rainbow Dash. You are something. Saw you at the academy, see you again here. We can learn a lot from a competitor like you." Spitfire said. "Think we already have." Fleetfoot said. *** The Wonderbolts on the Cloudsdale team just won a spot at the Equestria Games! Now it was Ponyville's turn to try out. "Gohan, go Super Saiyan, and full speed for this one!" Rainbow Dash whispered. "Alright." Gohan said, turning Super Saiyan. The ponies were amazed by Gohan's ability. Now, they were flying. Fluttershy made it through the hoops, nice and steady. Only ten seconds later, Rainbow Dash took the horseshoe, and flew SUPER fast at Gohan. There was thirty five seconds left. "LET'S GO FLUTTERSHY AND RAINBOW DASH!" Pinkie Pie and Twilight screamed. Rainbow Dash passed the horseshoe to Gohan. Thirty seconds left. Gohan darted at full speed, going through the rings and sequentially flying through the goal. His yellow aura made it even cooler to watch. The timer stopped. "17 seconds! A new record! Ponyville qualifies!" The coach said. Gohan stopped in mid-air. Even the Wonderbolts couldn't help but look at Gohan's aura. "What is he!?" Spitfire yelled. Gohan grinned, and powered up, making his aura larger. "I AM A SUPER SANDWICH!" He screamed, before reverting back to base form. Everyone cheered that Ponyville made it in. Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy gave Gohan a big hug for winning. With a new record, too! Equestria Games, here they came! *** The Rainbow Falls Traders Exchange went perfectly. *** The Mane 6, Spike and Gohan all had things to exchange with! Well, Gohan only had senzu beans and some weighted clothes. ...That were too heavy. So he didn't bring much to trade for. "I am just so pumped for the exchange!" Rainbow Dash said. "Why?" Gohan asked with a smile. "Well, I can trade something for ANYTHING super cool!" Rainbow Dash said. "Like what, some first edition Daring Do book or something?" Gohan asked. "Actually, yes! There's a pony with a sign that says she has the first edition of Daring Do, EVER!" Rainbow Dash said, before squealing. "I... I have no words." Gohan said. "I have all the first editions of the Daring Do books except this one! I'm going to complete the collection!" Rainbow Dash said. "Well... I hope you do!" Gohan said. "Well... I hope it hasn't been traded yet. It's the only one in all of Equestria!" Rainbow Dash said. "Oh no! I really hate to see you disappointed..." Fluttershy said. She pulled a bear call out of her wing. "I was going to trade this bear call for a bird whistle, but getting that book is so important to you. So if you need any help..." Fluttershy said. "Normally I'd say I don't need any help, but you're right! This is very important! I've gotta get that book!" Rainbow Dash said, taking off with Fluttershy. "I have never seen anyone else as kind as her, heh." Gohan said. "Well, I'm off to take a gander at some of the vintage stalls." Applejack said, trotting away with a sack on her back. "Did you say vintage?" Rarity asked before taking her saddlebag and following Applejack. "Well... Now there's the three of us." Gohan said. "I have to get rid of some these books. Ever since I became a princess, Princess Celestia has been sending me tons more books to read! The library's overflowing!" Twilight said, setting up her stand. "Alright..." Gohan said. "I'm staying here!" Pinkie Pie said. "Well, I'm going to see if anyone wants a too heavy wristband." Gohan said, walking away. "Have fun!" Twilight said. *** Gohan was walking around for what felt like HOURS. He couldn't find anything interesting! Books, flowers, lamps, Daring Do stuff, Greek mythology pets, crystal chalices, nothing! He was just about ready to walk back to Twilight's stand before he saw something interesting. Or, somewhat interesting, at least. A rice cooker! The mare who ran the stand, with a purple mane and yellow coat, didn't have much either. "Hello, ma'am?" Gohan asked. "Would you happen to want this dumb old rice cooker?" The mare asked in a depressing tone. "Yes." Gohan said. The mare was surprised, then had a happy face. "What do you have?" She asked. "Wristbands weighing 150 kilos, shirts weighing 1000 kilos, and boots weighing 1500 kilos." Gohan said. "Uh.... Hm... I'd trade you for... If you happen to have something else..." She said. "Magical beans that can restore your stamina, get rid of ailments and wounds?" Gohan asked, dropping a pouch on the table. "And how do I know they're real?" She asked. Gohan sighed. He broke his own arm, again! "H-Hang on, I didn't-" She said, before Gohan ate the bean. His arm was restored. "Any more proof?" Gohan asked. "Nope! Take the rice cooker, it's yours!" She said, taking the bag of senzu beans. Gohan now had a rice cooker! A good trade indeed! So he was now finished and began to walk back to Twilight's bookstand. ...Just after Pinkie Pie's reckless 'sale' ended. "You got a rice cooker...?" Twilight asked. "It's better than standing there having to mix the rice unless you want it sticking to the pot. Oh wait, I still have to do that." Gohan said. *** The Equestria Games were just great, too. *** Team Ponyville was on a train to the Equestria Games! All sorts of ponies were training in their own respective ways. Bulk Biceps and Gohan were weightlifting, while Gohan did practice movement at the same time. Pegasi like Fluttershy were flying or doing wing-ups. Spike was in charge of... Well, the checklist. The Cutie Mark Crusaders were practicing their cheerleading. "Listen up, gang, we're almost there, and I have a few things to say." Rainbow Dash said. "First off, who here besides me thinks this is the best Equestria Games delegation in Ponyville history!?" She asked. Everyone cheered, saying yes. "And no matter what your sport is, we gotta give it our best! Because we've all got a shot at Ponyville gold!" Rainbow Dash said. Everyone cheered again. "...With the possible exception of Bulk Biceps, Fluttershy, Gohan and me." Rainbow Dash said. "Which means we're good and all, but we're up against the Wonderbolts in the aerial relays." Rainbow Dash said. "I said I'd go full speed for you already." Gohan said. "I know, but I don't want to ruin their reputation..." Rainbow Dash said. "Don't you think that beating them would win you a spot on the Wonderbolts?" Gohan asked. "...Yeah, that's right! Then I can finally become a Wonderbolt!" Rainbow Dash said. "So, nevermind her saying we don't have to try." Gohan said. "Winners or not, you can still be awesome!" Scootaloo said. "Did ya hear that everypony? Winners or not, we still have the chance to be awesome!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed. Everyone cheered. "But, uh, let's still try to win lots of stuff, okay?" Rainbow Dash asked. Everyone went back to training! Well, not Gohan... He did his training at 700x normal gravity that morning, but whatever. As long as he's doing what his father does, he doesn't care. *** Long story short, Gohan won the gold medal. For every event. He actually entered in every event. He actually set a new damn record for gold medals won, damn it! *** Those were the parts Gohan was mostly present in. Other than that, he just said a few words, and that would be as boring as ever. Now, it's time to face.... Not Tirek? Galactic Crisis Pt. 1"HA!" Gohan yelled, charging his sword with ki. It glowed yellow. He was in the gravity chamber at 710x normal gravity. "ATATATATA!" He yelled as he swung the sword at lightning speeds. The extra weight, included with the intense gravity provided good training for Gohan. He was doing great! Until he sensed five mind boggling ki signatures. He stopped training immediately. He turned off the gravity machine, and ran outside. "What the heck is that...?" He asked. Twilight and Spike came running to Gohan. "Gohan, you need to rush to Canterlot. Princess Celestia needs you!" Twilight exclaimed. *** Gohan rushed into the throne room. "Thank goodness you arrived early. Five unknown enemies have been terrorizing Equestria." Celestia said. "I felt it. But just who is it?" Gohan asked. "We do not know, but we request that you destroy this ever increasing threat. Ponies have actually been murdered." Luna said. "R-Really!?" Gohan asked. "I'm afraid so." Celestia said. Gohan clenched his fists. "I'm going to destroy them!" He yelled as he ran out the throne room. "Hopefully he is able to defeat this threat..." Luna said. *** Gohan flew to the closest town which had a huge ki. It was Appleloosa. An orange haired, teal being was terrorizing the town. He possessed orange hair, a purple headband, a necklace, a black shirt which revealed his pecs, a red sash, a belt, purple pants and a sword. https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/villains/images/a/a4/Kogu_Art.png/revision/latest?cb=20170201015228 It was Kogu, part of Bojack's Galaxy Soldiers. Smoke came from some buildings, and explosions could be seen from a distance. He unsheathed his sword, about to strike a scared filly with and orange coat and blond hair. "Well, your parents certainly put up a better fight." He said with a grin. He swung his sword down, and... It was blocked by another. "What!?" He asked. "Run, I will take care of this!" Gohan yelled as he kicked Kogu away. The filly ran away, crying. "Who the hell are you, and what are you doing here!?" Gohan asked. Kogu sheathed his sword. "I'm someone not to be trifled with, boy." He said. Gohan sheathed his sword as well. Gohan dashed and attempted to kick him, but Kogu caught his foot, much to Gohan's surprise. He immediately threw him aside. Gohan managed to recover in time, landing on his two feet. He charged at Kogu again, ready to deliver a massive barrage of punches. Kogu was not able to block, and felt the full force of the attack. Gohan ended it with a kick. "C-Curse you!" Kogu yelled, as he stood up again. Kogu began to power up, his necklace and his earrings glowed yellow. *** "Princess Celestia, what's happening!?" Twilight yelled as she entered the throne room with the rest of the Mane 6. "Sister, set up the barrier!" Luna said. Both princesses used their magic to create a yellow barrier around Canterlot. "W-What's with the force field?" Rainbow Dash asked. "A great danger has surfaced, and at the moment, Gohan has left to take care of it." Luna said. "Ponies have already been murdered in a few towns." Celestia said. "Oh no!" Fluttershy said. "W-What can we do about it!?" Twilight asked. "At the moment, we do not possess the power to defeat any of these foes." Celestia said. "All we can do is watch." Luna said. Celestia put up a projection, revealing the fight between Gohan and Kogu. *** A yellow aura enveloped Kogu, and immediately disappeared. Kogu's shirt disappeared, but his sash remained. His skin turned yellow-green. His hair was a bright red. And even worse, his power spiked up! https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/dragonballfanon/images/d/db/Kogu_%28Full_Power%29.png/revision/latest?cb=20130818041515 Kogu laughed as he immediately dashed forward and kicked Gohan in the stomach, much to his surprise. He then grabbed Gohan's face, dragging it across the ground. He finally let go, letting Gohan travel a little more distance. Gohan immediately got up from the debris. "Nice one." Gohan said. "Hmph. Now, surrender!" Kogu said, unsheathing his sword. "I'm not done yet! Ha!" Gohan yelled as he turned Super Saiyan. Kogu was shocked. "T-This is nothing!" He yelled. Gohan lunged forward with so much speed, Kogu couldn't see him. He unsheathed his sword and stabbed Kogu right in the stomach. "W...What!?" Kogu managed to say. Kogu dropped his sword. Gohan pulled his sword upward, cutting Kogu's upper body in half. He sequentially blasted Kogu's remains to nothing with his other hand. He reverted back to his base form. *** "Alright!" Rainbow Dash cheered. "I'm so glad... But, maybe he could have done it a little less... Violent?" Fluttershy asked. "We understand how sensitive you are, darling. But Gohan needs to do what he can to defeat these monstrosities." Rarity said. "The others should be a breeze for Gohan at this rate!" Twilight said. *** Gohan could sense four other power levels approaching. Three of them were very similar to Kogu's transformation... But one was beyond all of the others put together! Gohan did not want this town to be destroyed even more, so he flew towards a wasteland. A wasteland with grass, plateaus and other things. He landed, and sequentially, the four others did as well. Gohan faced his new opponents. "My compliments in defeating Kogu." The strongest one, Bojack said. Bojack possessed a muscular build. He was teal, along with the others. He also had the appearance of a gypsy pirate, with long orange hair and a scar across his face. http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/0/2218/399107-bojack_03.jpg "Who the hell are you!?" Gohan asked. *** "Such vulgar language!" Rarity said. "I like it." Rainbow Dash said. Fluttershy was crying. *** "Master Bojack rules this planet now." Bujin, one of Bojack's henchmen said. https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/dragonballfanon/images/6/6d/Bujin.png/revision/latest?cb=20130818041902 "Never. Bojack will never rule this planet, as long as I'm around!" Gohan shouted. "Master Bojack has no equal!" Bido, another one of Bojack's henchmen said. http://www.retrokroker.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Bido.png "The universe is littered with the bones who dare to think otherwise." Zangya, the last of Bojack's henchmen said. https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/villains/images/0/0a/Zangya05.png/revision/latest?cb=20170201014039 "Master is impatient, it would be wise to stand down, boy. Or better yet, kneel." Bujin said. "I want to know why you're here!" Gohan shouted. "Really, you want to know? It's because I'm finally free of that wretched star, and it's been too long since I've snapped somebody's neck!" Bojack said. "We, as Master Bojack's Galaxy Soldiers, do as he says." Bido said. "And this happens to be the first planet he wishes to conquer." Zangya said. "Alright, then... Let's go." Gohan said. Gohan turned into a Super Saiyan. This didn't faze the others one bit. Zangya and Bido nodded to each other before charging at Gohan. Bujin teleported a few feet behind him, and was about to use his Psycho Threads on Gohan. Gohan instinctively jumped backwards, dodging the incoming attacks and elbowed Bujin in the face, then flew away backwards. Bido charged at Gohan once more, throwing a punch. Gohan caught the punch, and threw Bido at Zangya. 'I really should have brought senzu beans.' Gohan thought. But it was too late for that, now. Zangya dodged the incoming attack, and Bido was able to recover before he hit the ground. She flew up at Gohan, who shot a powerful ki blast at her. She immediately swatted it away. Bido unleashed a barrage of ki blasts with his Brave Gatling. Gohan deflected them all with swats. Zangya, Bido and Bujin all charged at Gohan from three different directions, actually managing to hit him. They pushed him into a plateau, and stopped to let him loose towards a boulder. Gohan managed to recover before hitting the rock, and stood on top of it. Zangya and Bujin charged at him from both sides, pressuring him. Gohan was throwing barrages of punches and kicks at both Zangya and Bujin. This proved to be too difficult for Gohan, and after receiving a knee to the gut by Zangya, he received a double axe handle to the back by Bujin. He was sent burrowing into the ground. But, he flew back up, and was immediately met with a kick by Bido. Gohan quickly blocked with his arm, and threw a punch at Bido. Bido blocked with his hand, and Bujin suddenly appeared, punching Gohan in the stomach. Gohan instantly swatted Bujin away, and dodged an incoming punch from Zangya. The two then flew everywhere, dodging and attacking. Bojack watched from a small distance. "Impressive. His level of skill is even more advanced than I had thought. This should be fun." Bojack noted. Gohan blocked a punch from Zangya atop a mountain. Only to be kicked in the back by Bujin, and to be hit with an axe kick by Zangya into the mountain. Bido also threw his Underground Energy Ball into the mountain, exploding when coming in contact with Gohan. The result was a huge explosion of red ki. *** "W-What's going on!?" Twilight asked. "Why isn't Gohan destroying them?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Yeah, they're actually giving him a run for his money!" Pinkie Pie said. "This is bad, really really bad!" Applejack said. "H-He can still go Super Saiyan 2 and end it all, right?" Rainbow Dash asked. "I hope he does..." Fluttershy said. *** Gohan picked himself up from the rubble. He was worn out. Bojack, Bido, Bujin and Zangya stood ahead of him. Bido, Bujin and Zangya blasted Gohan into a corner, being another mountain. Gohan stood up, only to be blasted continuously. Eventually, he couldn't take anymore, and fell on his knees. "Ugh... Great..." He muttered, before reverting back to his base form. Bojack unleashed a Galactic Buster, a powerful and giant green energy ball at Gohan. Gohan stood up with little strength he had left, and crossed his arms in front of his face, as a last effort to block. But suddenly, a weak, but strong enough fire blast came and hit the blast off course. Gohan looked ahead to see... Nothing hitting him? But he sensed something else nearby. Someone... Chaotic. He looked to the sky to see no other than Discord. "Hello again... Gohan." Discord said. Galactic Crisis Pt. 2"W-What the heck is HE doing there!?" Rainbow Dash asked. "We mustn't complain!" Luna said. "He is actually assisting Gohan in this bout." Celestia said. "But why would he ever...?" Twilight asked. *** "Discord!" Gohan said. Discord snapped his fingers, healing Gohan. He landed gently beside Gohan. "I felt some chaos was happening, and I wasn't the cause of it." Discord said. "Would you mind if I cut in?" He asked. "Just don't die, and I'll be happy to let you cut in." Gohan said. Discord snapped his fingers, creating four Gohan clones again. They were as strong as last time. Discord also snapped his fingers to create a fire blast. Gohan turned Super Saiyan. "Hmph. More nuisances." Bojack said. "We shall handle this, Master Bojack!" Bido shouted, deflecting Discord's fire blast with ease. Bojack's henchmen dealt with the Gohan clones. While one stayed behind. Gohan charged at Bojack, who suddenly disappeared. Bojack actually moved behind Gohan, and towards Discord. Bojack fired a powerful energy blast at Discord. Discord swatted it down to the ground with his lion's paw, creating a smokescreen of sorts. Discord couldn't see Bojack from behind, who fired a Galactic Buster at Discord. Discord reacted at the last second, struggling to hold the immense blast in his two different hands. "W-What... Is... This... RAAAAAARGH!" Discord yelled as he was enveloped by the blast. "Discord!" Gohan yelled. Discord could not continue, and laid on the ground, beaten and unconscious. "You'll pay for that Bojack!" Gohan yelled as he charged at Bojack. Gohan stopped to unleash a barrage of ki blasts. Bojack created a force field, which absorbed all of the blasts. Gohan grunted before charging at Bojack once more. ...Before he was suddenly stopped. He wasn't able to move... What was happening!? The three handled the Gohan clones that fast. Bujin hit Gohan with his Psycho Threads, and slowly absorbed Gohan's power. Gohan grunted in pain as it happened. Bido took Gohan's sword from his sheath, flew away, and javelined it at Gohan. This was when the last clone came in handy, and caught the sword last second. He even shot a powerful ki blast at Bujin, stopping him from using the Psycho Threads. Gohan freed himself, and his clone gave him his sword. "Thanks." He said. The clone nodded before flying away and actually holding off Bojack's henchmen. "Let us begin." Bojack said to Gohan. Gohan powered up, and charged at Bojack. The two threw many punches, and eventually they exchanged ki blasts. Bojack finally gained the upper hand, moving fast enough to elbow Gohan in the stomach, and knock him away with a kick. Suddenly, Bojack was hit in the back by a fire blast. He didn't receive damage, but his shirt was partially ruined. He turned around to see a very injured and tired Discord panting heavily behind him. "You think... You could... Get away...!? With that!?" Discord yelled. Bojack flew up to him, and punched him in the elongated gut so hard, that his sleeve disintegrated. He then elbowed him so hard that the sleeve disintegrated, and smashed him down to the ground, before unleashing a Galactic Buster on him. Gohan was able to hit the Galactic Buster away in time, before it killed Discord. Discord managed to snap his fingers, creating five more Gohan clones before he fainted. Bojack powered up, destroying his shirt entirely. Bojack's skin was now yellow-green, and his hair was a bright red. https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/dragonball/images/4/43/Bojack_%28Full_Power%29.png/revision/latest?cb=20150919090315 All of the Gohan clones left to handle the henchmen. *** "With all due respect, Princess Celestia, we can't just sit by while Gohan gets murdered by this guy!" Twilight said. "Yeah, he's going to need our help! Discord's down, and now he's alone!" Rainbow Dash said. "You cannot! You'll die!" Celestia said. "We will just have to see what will happen!" Luna said. *** Gohan was struggling immensely against Bojack. He threw a punch, and Bojack teleported behind him and grabbed his foot. Bojack swung Gohan around and at a boulder. Gohan was able to recover, and stop himself from crashing into the boulder. But Bojack immediately came in front of him, and punched him into the boulder! Gohan tried and tried again to hit Bojack, but it just wasn't working! When Bojack fired an energy blast, Gohan was able to destroy it, but Bojack punished Gohan with a kick, sending him flying at a boulder. Gohan landed gently on top of it, and tried to fly back at Bojack. Until Bido, Bujin and Zangya all trapped Gohan with their Psycho Threads. "You're not going anywhere thanks to our barrier." Bujin said. "The more you struggle, the more energy it takes from your body until you pass out or die." He said, laughing. Gohan couldn't take it, and reverted back to his base form. Bojack appeared in front of Gohan. "Now, give your father a message for me." Bojack said, punching Gohan in the face, then hitting him with a backhand and grabbing his head again. He head butted Gohan, making Gohan cough blood. He ended it with a double axe handle, sending Gohan into a plateau. *** "Princess Celestia, there has to be something we can do!" Twilight yelled. "Gohan will die at this rate!" Rainbow Dash said. "I'm sorry, but I do not allow you to fight!" Celestia said. "Do you wish to be killed!?" Luna called. *** Bojack picked Gohan up by his shirt. He then bear hugged Gohan, while laughing and torturing Gohan. He did it even harder, making Gohan cough some blood. "How ironic that your father's death was the key to our escape. I so wanted to thank him personally, but now you'll have to do it for me." Bojack said. *** "That's it, I'm not going to stand by while Gohan dies! Right girls!?" Twilight asked. "Yeah!" Four of the others asked. "Um, maybe." Fluttershy said. "Twilight, please, no!" Celestia said. "I'm sorry princess, but we have to do this." Twilight said, performing a teleportation spell, taking the Mane 6 to the battlefield. *** Bojack bear hugged even harder, making Gohan scream in pain. "F-Father..." Gohan muttered. "Hold it right there, Buster!" Twilight yelled. Bojack looked to his side to see the Mane 6, and dropped Gohan on the ground. Fluttershy immediately cowered, and hid behind a rock. "We're gonna kick your flank for what you've done!" Rainbow Dash yelled. "We will not let you get away with this!" Applejack yelled. "And what are the likes of you, with your measly power levels going to do about it?" Bojack asked. Rainbow Dash was first to strike, flying straight at Bojack, smashing her hoof into his midsection. But to no avail. Rainbow Dash flew backwards in pain, her hoof hurt. "Ow!" She yelled. Bojack threw a weak ki blast at Rainbow Dash, defeating her there. She landed on the ground in cuts, and pain. Applejack ran up to him and bucked him with all her might, but again, to no avail. Bojack lightly kicked Applejack, knocking her down. "YOU MEANIE MEAN PANTS!" Pinkie Pie screamed as she pulled out her party cannon and blasted Bojack with confetti and whatnot. "Is this is joke?" Bojack asked, blasting Pinkie Pie. She was down. His henchmen were laughing at this 'last stand'. Rarity used her magic to make a rock fly at Bojack while Twilight put full power into her own magic blast. Both of those attacks did literally NOTHING. Bojack promptly blasted them, defeating them as well. Rainbow Dash looked at Bojack in disbelief. "D-Dang..." She muttered. Fluttershy was brimming with rage. "How dare you!? HOW DARE YOU!?" She yelled, not hiding behind the rock anymore. "How dare I?" Bojack asked. "You think you can just come here and hurt my friends!?" Fluttershy asked, trotting up closer to Bojack. Bojack laughed. "YOU CAN'T! AND WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY FOR YOURSELF!?" Fluttershy screamed, using The Stare. It did nothing but make Bojack laugh. Bojack punched Fluttershy in the face, knocking her away. Gohan watched in horror. "Now what will happen!?" Bojack asked before he laughed again, along his henchmen. "You bastards." Gohan said. Bojack stopped laughing. "Excuse me?" He asked. Gohan picked himself up, and stood up. "Do you think you could just waltz in, take our planet and hurt my friends!? WELL YOU CAN'T! HAAA!" Gohan screamed, powering up. He became a Super Saiyan. No, he powered up EVEN further! Into a Super Saiyan 2! There was smoke covering Gohan's transcended form. Rainbow Dash was able to see it all. "Finally..." She muttered. *** "It appears the sight of his friends being hurt was enough..." Luna said. "He finally broke through his own shell." Celestia said. *** The smoke disappeared, revealing Gohan. His face was different. Unlike his usual, cheerful face, it was replaced with a fierce and unmerciful one. His hair spiked up, with a few strands drooping down. https://static.comicvine.com/uploads/original/11112/111126650/4693913-6570775976-Drago.jpg Lightning was appearing and disappearing around Gohan. "I WILL NOT LET YOU GET AWAY WITH THIS!" Gohan screamed, powering up even further. His little outburst shook the land, even in the Crystal Empire. Bojack was actually a little fearful. Along with his henchmen. Gohan began to walk slowly towards his enemies. Each step created smoke. "Bujin, Bido!" Bojack commanded. Bujin and Bido jumped a few feet beside Gohan, and unleashed their Psycho Threads. Nothing happened. Gohan powered up, and screamed. The threads were destroyed. Bujin and Bido charged at Gohan in a desperate attempt to defeat him. Gohan backhanded Bido's midsection, chopping him in half. Bido's body then disintegrated. Gohan performed a roundhouse kick on Bujin's midsection, making him succumb to the same fate as Bido had. Gohan then turned to Bojack and Zangya again. Zangya cowered in fear. Gohan flew very slowly at Bojack. For some weird reason, Bojack decided to be a team killer. He shoved Zangya, and unleashed his Galactic Buster on her, destroying her, and the blast continued to fly at Gohan. Gohan dodged with ease. A boulder was destroyed as a result. Gohan stopped flying and landed on the ground. Bojack cackled as he jumped up and unleashed a full power energy blast on Gohan. Gohan didn't even bother to dodge. Some of the land around him was destroyed, but a tiny portion around him remained, and he himself was undamaged. Bojack landed, screaming: "I WILL KILL YOU!" He charged at Gohan, ready to deliver a punch. But Gohan actually moved very quickly, and punched right through Bojack's stomach, much to Bojack's surprise and dismay. Gohan kept his serious and war face. Gohan pulled his arm out of Bojack, and Bojack walked backwards and hunched over in pain. "Y-You fool! Any last words before you die!?" Bojack asked, coughing purple blood. Bojack mustered as much strength as he could to charge up a full power energy blast. "Actually, Bojack. There is one word that comes to mind." Gohan said, cupping his hands by his side and charging up the Kamehameha wave. "KAMEHAMEHA!" He yelled, as he unleashed it. Bojack unleashed his blast as well. His blast disintegrated instantly. Bojack screamed in pain as he died. The smoke cleared from the area. The Mane 6 picked themselves up with little strength they had left. "G...Gohan...!" Twilight said with a smile. Said smile quickly disappeared. Gohan's face was enough to scare all of them. "It's over." Gohan said. He reverted back to his base form, and fell flat on his back. He even chuckled lightly. The Mane 6 quickly came to his aid. "A-Are you alright!?" Twilight asked. "Clearly not, but I think there's someone else who needs your help too." Gohan said. Discord managed to get himself up too. "W...What? I... I don't get any... Any credit?" Discord asked in between pants. *** A few senzu beans healed them up! By a few, I mean eight. All of Gohan's senzu beans were gone, and he had to wait for Zecora now. Now they were back in Canterlot. "Thank you so much, Son Gohan!" Celestia said. "J-Just Gohan is nice, thanks..." Gohan said. "This is yet another time you have saved us all." Luna said. "Well, I couldn't have done it without them." Gohan said, pointing at spectators Mane 6 and Discord. "OOH! Wait! Gohan!" Pinkie Pie said. "What? What is it?" Gohan asked. "looker2611 needs ten bits, so deck Discord in the schnoz!" Pinkie Pie said. "looker... Who?" Gohan and the rest of the Mane 6 asked. "You know, a commenter? On this fan fiction?" Pinkie Pie asked. "Fan what?" Everyone asked. "You know, Gohan's here because Kuraekakashi put him here!" Pinkie Pie said. "...What?" Gohan asked. "Who the heck is Kurae whatever?" Rainbow Dash asked. "He wrote this whole thing!" Pinkie Pie said. "Wrote what!?" Gohan asked. "This fan fiction, I already told you! Anyway, looker2611's gonna get 10 bits of you deck Discord in the schnoz!" Pinkie Pie said. "Deck me in the what now?" Discord asked. "I'm just as confused as Discord... We still don't know who looker2611 is, Pinkie." Gohan said. "Silly, all you have to do is punch Discord in the nose!" Pinkie Pie said. "Why did you say that like it's a completely normal sentence!?" Gohan, Twilight and Discord asked. "Just do it so that they get their bits already!" Pinkie Pie said. "Ugh, is it fine if I..." Gohan asked. "Go ahead, just don't kill me." Discord said, putting a target on his nose. Gohan lightly punched Discord in the nose, but gave him a nosebleed anyway. "Ow! Ow! Ow!" Discord said. "S-Sorry!" Gohan said. "Oh, that's just fine, it's just a nosebleed." Discord said. Well, that ends an exhausting day. Author's Note You got your bits, are you happy now looker2611!? Now Pinkie Pie knows I'm writing this story, and you guys know too! Twilight's Kingdom, Gohan's RockThe Mane 6, Spike and Gohan were all at the Crystal Empire! ...Again. This time, for a regal meeting. So, all she had to do is reveal a banner of Maretonia and wave to the duke and duchess of the same place! All on the balcony. "That was it!? Princess Celestia asked you to come all the way out here for that!?" Spike asked, unamused. Twilight was already being self-conscious that her role as princess was not important. And now she had a frown. "I-I mean, wow! Nice job! Really showing that importance!" Spike said. Applejack hit Spike on the head with her forehoof. *** "Is there anything else I can do to assist with their visit?" Twilight asked. "I'm sorry, Twilight. Their visit is already over." Cadence said. "Oh." Twilight said, hanging her head low. "Something wrong?" Luna asked. "I guess I just don't really understand why I'm here. Couldn't one of the Royal Guard unfurl the banner?" Twilight asked. "Having the four of us, and the empire greet them lets the dignitaries know their visit is considered an important one." Celestia said. "Plus, it's an opportunity to see my favorite sister-in-law." Cadence said, wrapping a hoof around Twilight. "I'm happy to see you, all of you!" Twilight said, but her frown returned. "But?" Cadence asked. "But, it's just that, Luna raises the moon, Princess Celestia raises the sun, you protect the Crystal Empire, and all I seem to do is smile and wave." Twilight said, trotting away. *** A regular unicorn stallion with a white mane and brown coat with four green gems for a cutie mark was carrying a bucket of oranges and trotting down a dark alley. Suddenly, a hooded being appeared, starting the unicorn. "V-Very sorry, you came out of nowhere." The unicorn said. "Is he friend? Or is he foe? The pony wonders... I can assure you, I am no friend... I am Lord Tirek." The hooded being, Tirek said. "And I will take what should have been mine long ago..." He said, taking the unicorn's magic! Or eating, he just took it from the horn and in his mouth. The pony's cutie mark disappeared! And he fell flat on the ground. Tirek grew in size. *** Celestia woke up, scared! Then, Luna came through the doors. "Sister! Are you alright!?" Luna asked. "I've just had the most terrible dream." Celestia said. "Why do you think I'm here? You know as well as I that this was not a dream, but a vision." Luna said. "Then we haven't much time! The stronger he becomes, the more we are all in danger." Celestia said. *** Celestia provided information, and history about Tirek to the other princesses. He and his brother Scorpan were going to steal Equestrian magic, but Scorpan liked Equestria's ways. He urged Tirek to give up their plans, but Tirek refused. Scorpan alerted the princesses, thus taking Tirek to Tartarus, and imprisoning him there. Scorpan returned to his own land. Tirek managed to escape, but heavily weakened. Only now was he able to use his dark powers. "But with each passing moment, he grows stronger, still!" Luna said. "And I know just the princess who can stop him." Cadence said. "Shouldn't we take this information to Gohan?" Twilight asked. "Although we do not know the extent of his overwhelming power, I am not sure if it is enough to battle Tirek." Celestia said. "Yes, he simply had to go Super Saiyan 2 to defeat Discord." Luna said. "And this is a power that can go beyond Discord's own." Celestia said. "And I'm afraid you can't stop Tirek, Twilight. I need to call in another." She added. "Discord himself." She added. Which surprised the other princesses. *** "As in, Discord? Discord?" Applejack asked. Now she was in Ponyville, explaining the situation. "Yes, but Princess Celestia thinks Gohan isn't strong enough to handle Tirek!" Twilight said. "What? I'm stronger than him in my base form!" Gohan said. "You needed to defeat him with your Super Saiyan 2 form, and you don't like that very much." Twilight said. "I went into that transformation because of the nonstop clones of me he kept sending!" Gohan said. "Well... That may explain it..." Twilight said. "But I won't fight it, it's her decision." Gohan said. "Well, I don't think that's a very big surprise. He can be very helpful." Fluttershy said. She turned to her other friends to see their unamused looks. "I agree, he saved me from dying against Bojack." Gohan said. "Yes, he can sense when there's a magical imbalance. The next time Tirek gains magic, Discord can track him down." Twilight said. "So... What are you supposed to do in the meantime?" Rainbow Dash asked. Twilight sighed. "Nothing." She said. "Unless one of you needs me to smile and wave." Twilight said. "But where are you going?" Spike asked. "The castle of the two sisters, I'm not really needed anywhere else." Twilight said, trotting away. "You want some company?" Rainbow Dash asked, flying after her. "Yeah, it's been a while since we've been there." Applejack said, following too. "Yeah, the last time we were sucked into a comic book." Gohan said, following with everyone else. "I suppose I can use a little company." Twilight said. And they walked into the Everfree Forest. *** Now they saw the Tree of Harmony from a distance. "I still can't believe we had to give up the Elements." Rainbow Dash said. "It had to be done, or the Tree of Harmony would not have survived." Rarity said. "But Twilight was right! Even without the Elements, our friendship is as strong as ever." Fluttershy said. "I just hope another 'friend' of ours doesn't make us sorry that we had to give them up." Applejack said. "Hey, I can beat him, you know. It's like, the biggest reason he isn't attacking?" Gohan asked. Discord was laughing in the distance, and arriving Mary Poppins Style. With an umbrella, a scarf, a purse and a hat. "You're talking about me, I presume." He said. "How'd you guess." Applejack asked sarcastically. All of a sudden, Discord's ears were burning. "My ears were burning." He said, splashing water on his ears. "What are you even doing here Discord?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Can we please not use harsh tone against our reformed friend?" Gohan asked. "Oh, I was just doing a bit of reading before I set off on my extremely important mission." Discord said, actually reading a book. "Oh, and thank you Gohan for defending me." He added. Then Discord was dressed as a general or some reason. "I suppose you all know I am tasked to capture a simple escapee." Discord said, blowing into a bubble pipe. "Big deal!" Spike said. "You're right, Spike. It is a big deal." Discord said, blowing into his pipe so hard that a bubble encased Spike. It flew up until it popped, making Spike fall until Rainbow Dash caught him. Then Discord wasn't wearing anything. "It seems I possess a magic that gives me an important role in Equestria. Maybe they should make ME an alicorn princess..." Discord joked, giving himself fake wings, fake horn and a fake crown. He blew kisses. Everyone was pretty unamused. "In your dreams." Rainbow Dash said, punching the crown of Discord. "Come on!" Gohan said. "Oh, I never dream of such things." Discord said, reverting back to his original state. "Ask Princess Luna." He added. "Don't you have a creepy magic stealing villain to track down?" Applejack asked. "Yes yes yes, of course, of course." Discord said, bringing everyone into a group hug before teleporting them in front of the Tree of Harmony's chest. "But I noticed that Twilight hasn't opened her little box first." Discord said. "I just wondered if what's inside could help improve her royal word." Discord said. "I only bring it up because she says she feels her role as princess quite much." Discord said. He put a finger on Twilight's mouth. "Wait a minute! How do you know that she was unveiling!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed in a high voice. "O-Oh my, is eavesdropping not the way you're supposed to find out what your best pals are up to? Oh woe is me, will I ever learn the intricate nuances of being a good friend?" Discord asked sarcastically. Everyone looked at him with unamused looks. "Ahem, well in any case I suppose now is a good time as any to make way with my exit." Discord said, walking to a polka dot motorcycle and putting on his helmet. He teleported away after revving the engine. "And good riddance!" Applejack said. Then Discord appeared behind them. "Oh whoopsie doopsie, I almost left with a little journal you've all been keeping. Well, except the kid, but you know. What a fascinating read! Haven't you girls just learned so much!" Discord said, opening the journal. "I've bookmarked a few interesting passages that you should REALLY take a look!" Discord said, balancing the journal on Twilight's horn. Then Discord leaned towards Fluttershy. "We're still in for tea later, right Fluttershy?" He whispered. "Oh yes, I wouldn't miss it. Gohan will be joining us again." Fluttershy said. "Oh well I'll bring the cucumber sandwiches!" Discord said, somehow opening a door to another place with a doorknob floating in mid air. He entered it, and that was the last of it. "Sometimes I think the 'Reformed' Discord is more obnoxious than the before Discord!" Applejack said. "Indeed." Rarity said. "He's always been an attention seeker, and since we're all his BEST friends... I mean it, he might just want a little more attention." Gohan said. "Yes, but he could be right! What if there was something important in that chest?" Fluttershy asked. "There's only one way to find out." Twilight said. "Library?" Gohan asked. "Library." Twilight said. "Library!" Gohan and Twilight exclaimed, jumping up. Rainbow Dash groaned at this eggheadedness she witnessed. *** Everyone looked in the library of the ruined castle, yet found nothing for the chest. During all this, Tirek continued to consume everyone's magic. He was about to sneak up on a pony, but then he turned around and it was Discord. "Tirek, I presume?" He asked, shocking Tirek. "Discord... You're free?" Tirek asked. Discord turned into a giant parrot. "As a bird." He said. "I commend you on your escape." Tirek said. Discord returned to normal. "I'm afraid the feeling isn't mutual." He said, snapping his fingers and handcuffing Tirek. Tirek tried to attack with his magic, but Discord dodged by splitting his own head in two... Yeah, I'm confused as well. "Oh, I should have known that you wouldn't want Equestria all to yourself." Tirek said. "Oh, I'm not doing this for me, I'm doing it for my friends." Discord said with a smile. Then he leaned closer to Tirek. "Just between you and me, it's mostly for Fluttershy." He whispered. "Fluttershy? You're not saying you're friends with ponies...?" Tirek asked. Then Discord burst from a giant birthday cake. "Surprise!" He said, covering Tirek in cake. "I AM surprised that someone with your intellect could not see this 'friendship' as but a new form of imprisonment. Clearly, you hat to abandon your true nature to stay in their good graces." Tirek said. Discord had a halo and played the harp, but he threw the harp away. "I have done nothing of the sort." He said, then taking off his halo. "Oh please, I've seen this before. But he was always weak minded. But you are Discord! You are legend, you cannot fall into the same trap that claimed my brother. Help me get strong and be rewarded with something far greater than friendship." Tirek said, glowing his yellow eyes. Discord looked in curiosity. "Once I rid these ponies of their magic, nothing will give me greater pleasure than to see their world turned upside down. Who better to do so than the master of chaos himself!" Tirek said. Discord was contemplating... "Join me, Discord, and reclaim your greatness. Unless pony errand boy is the only role you wanted to play in this world." Tirek said. Discord looked back at a drawer with a picture of him and Fluttershy together.... And he decided. *** Well, the Mane 6 found five of the six keys. Twilight was the only one who didn't have a key. Sadly. But she was needed in Canterlot, at once! So she burst through the doors. "I came as quickly as I could! Is something wrong!?" Twilight asked. "I'm afraid I put too much trust in Discord, and the effect that friendship would have upon him." Celestia said. "Discord has betrayed the ponies of Equestria, and joined forces with Tirek." Celestia said. "How could he do this!? I thought our friendship meant something to him! I thought he had changed!" Twilight said. "Tirek has stolen enough magic that he has the strength to steal flight as well. Without pegasi to control weather, there will be no rain in Equestria. There is word that he has gone after Earth ponies as well. Without their strength, they will not be able to tend the land." Celestia said. "Ponies will no longer be in control of their world. That power will belong solely to Tirek!" Luna said. "There is no doubt that Tirek wants alicorn magic. With Discord by his side, we will not be able to stop him from taking it." Celestia said. "Once it is in his possession, his power will know no bounds, and all hope will be lost." Luna said. "But there is one solution." Celestia said. The three princesses stepped down, and walked to Twilight. "This sacrifice is our last chance to save Equestria. We must rid ourselves of our magic before Tirek has the chance to steal it from us." Celestia said. Twilight gasped. "Gohan can defeat Tirek, I know it! If he get him to handle this, this can all end!" Twilight said. "No, he may be able to defeat one of us, including me, but he is not strong enough to defeat a combination of four alicorns!" Celestia said. "I-I suppose I'll do my part, and give up my magic." Twilight said. "You misunderstand, our magic cannot just disappear into thin air. Somepony must contain it." Luna said. "And that somepony is YOU, Twilight." Cadence said. "But why me?" Twilight asked. "We do not believe that Tirek knows another alicorn princess exists in Equestria. If we transfer our magic to you, Tirek will not know where it has gone." Celestia said. "Do you understand what we're asking of you?" Cadence asked. "Yes, it's just that, now I'm learning how to control my own alicorn magic. To take on even more-" "Twilight, you represent the element of magic. If there's anypony who's up for this, it's you." Cadence interrupted. The other two alicorn princesses nodded. "Taking on this responsibility is one of the most difficult things I'll ever do. But with my friends,-" "I'm sorry, Twilight. You must keep your new abilities a secret. I fear that if your friends knew of your great power, it would put them at great risk. Do you understand this great responsibility?" Celestia asked. Twilight nodded, and the three princesses transferred their magic to Twilight. The result was, they lost their cutie marks. Even though Gohan was not there, he could feel Tirek. He just hoped that Discord would do something, so he didn't have to. Then, he could feel Twilight's newfound power. So did Discord. The next day, the Royal Guard, including Shining Armor lost their magic to Tirek. And Twilight was struggling to contain her magic. Twilight even exploded her door by accident. Gohan approached, because this was new. "So, why have Princess Celestia, Luna and Cadence given you their power?" Gohan asked. "H-How did you know?" Twilight asked. "You better not tell anypony!" She added. "First off, they have literally no power levels that I can sense from here. You have it all." Gohan said. "It's because they think you couldn't handle Tirek and Discord." Twilight said. "Oh. That's... That's fine, I guess." Gohan said. Then, Twilight went into the Everfree Forest. Just so Tirek couldn't find her. But Tirek sent the three princesses to Tartarus. Tirek also gave Discord a necklace as a sign of gratitude for helping. Discord and Tirek were now planning to steal Gohan's insane power... *** The Mane 6 and Gohan just finished warning everyone of Ponyville to stay indoors. "I'm sure Discord will find Tirek, and this will all be over." Fluttershy said. "I bet he's taking his SWEET time." Rainbow Dash said. "Perhaps these things just take time." Discord said. "You're back!" Fluttershy said, jumping up and hugging Discord. "Did you bring the cucumber sandwiches?" She asked. "I did." Discord said, making a tray of cucumber sandwiches appear. "Can I have one?" Gohan asked. Discord wrapped himself around Gohan. "Sure! And, I just dropped by to say hi, and..." Discord said, before turning himself into 1,000,000 tons. "W-What the!?" Gohan asked, trying to move. But to no avail. "I did some calculations and..." Discord said. Gohan turned Super Saiyan, but even that wasn't enough. Discord was very close to losing his grip, Gohan was making this VERY painful! "N-Now, Tirek!" Discord shouted. Tirek appeared out of nowhere, and seized the opportunity. He used his horns to absorb 90% of Gohan's strength. It still meant his power level was still 450,000,000, If you even care. The even scarier part is that he was a Super Saiyan! And now he was near powerless. Tirek grew many sizes. "Hey! How could you-" Pinkie Pie asked, before she, and her 5 other friends were put into a cage. "It will be the last meal you will ever enjoy." Discord said. Gohan could barely stand, and he reverted back to base form. He was heavily weakened, and 4300 was a little much. His pupils were grey instead of black, too. Tirek then absorbed all the magic and most of the life out of the rest of the Mane 6. He then picked Gohan up by his foot. "I must thank you for giving me your incredible strength. Now nothing can stand in my way, I have the powers of a Super Saiyan!" Tirek exclaimed. "It was nice knowing you!" He said, throwing Gohan hundreds of miles away. "Gohan!" The rest of the Mane 6 shouted. The protector of Equestria, Gohan, is now powerless. "Now nobody will be able to stop Lord Tirek!" Tirek shouted, laughing. "W-Why are you doing this!? I thought we were friends!" Fluttershy sobbed. "Oh, we were. But Tirek offered me more than just tea parties. Surely, you saw this coming?" Discord asked. "I didn't... I really didn't!" Fluttershy sobbed. "Now there will be nothing who can stand up to us." Discord said. "Us? Who said ANYTHING about us?" Tirek asked, sucking Discord's magic. "You've helped me get stronger, and now you are no longer of any use to me." Tirek said. "B-But you said this was gift of your gratitude! Of someone very close to you..." Discord said, holding up his necklace. "My brother who betrayed me... It's as worthless as he is." Tirek said, walking in the direction of Twilight. "Surely, you saw this coming!" Applejack said. "I didn't... I truly didn't..." Discord said, actually feeling... Guilty. *** Gohan landed in the Frozen North, and on a mountain. 'Damn it...' He thought. The one good thing was, he had his senzu beans! But he couldn't move his hands. The crash was pretty hard. So, telekinesis it was! He used his telekinesis (which could deflect a missile) to very slowly take a senzu bean from the little pouch. He smiled very lightly when it was in front of his face. He pushed himself forward to eat the senzu bean. He swallowed, and.... "HAAAAA!" Gohan screamed, going full power as a Super Saiyan. He began to stand up. His aura grew many sizes. He didn't want to go Super Saiyan 2... Unless he needed it. But he was angry nonetheless. At Discord. *** "I-Is Gohan...?" Fluttershy asked. "He isn't, look!" Rainbow Dash said, pointing her hoof at the horizon. Gohan's aura could be seen. And his yell could be heard. Everyone's face lit up. *** Twilight was sitting alone, atop a cliff. She tried mastering teleportation, but it got really out of hand, and now she was in between two rocks. "PRINCESS TWILIGHT!" Tirek screamed. Twilight gasped. "Tirek!" She said. "YOU HAVE SOMETHING THAT BELONGS TO ME!" Tirek screamed. Twilight exploded from the rock, and flew at Tirek! But did no damage whatsoever. She landed pretty heavily. "You are going to give me what I want." Tirek said, attempting to take Twilight's magic. Twilight teleported away quickly enough, back to the Treehouse. Tirek fired his magic at the Treehouse. Twilight reacted quickly, and got Owlicious out as soon as possible. Her home... It was destroyed! Twilight was brimming with rage. She teleported back to the battlefield, and fired her most powerful blast! Tirek blocked very easily. In fact, he didn't need to block. The blast did nothing to him. Twilight landed, hoping she did a little damage. "This is pathetic." Tirek said, much to Twilight's surprise. "I took your friend's power, and now, alicorn magic is no match for me! Now, let's have a trade, shall we?" Tirek asked, making her friends appear in bubbles. Even Discord. "Your friends for all the alicorn magic in Equestria." Tirek said. "Don't do it!" Her friends shouted. "What's it going to be, princess?" Tirek asked. "We're not worth it!" Fluttershy said. "Oh, but you are, Fluttershy." Discord said. "You were the pony that taught me that friendship is magic. I had friendship and magic, and now... I have nothing." Discord said. "ENOUGH! I WANT AN ANSWER AND I WANT IT NOW!" Tirek shouted. "....I will give you my magic in exchange for my friends." Twilight said. Everyone in the bubbles gasped. "As you wish." Tirek said, popping the bubbles. Everyone landed, except Discord. He remained trapped. "All of my friends!" Twilight said. "After the way he has betrayed you? You still call him a friend?" Tirek asked. "Release him!" Twilight ordered. "If that's what you want." Tirek said. Tirek did that, there was no point in not doing it. "T-Thank you, Twilight." Discord said. "I'm sorry." He said to Fluttershy. "I know." Fluttershy sobbed. "Your turn." Tirek said, stealing Twilight's alicorn magic. Tirek grew even larger. Tirek grew into the size of multiple mountains. "NOW I RULE EQUESTRIA!" Tirek shouted. "NOT ON MY WATCH!" Gohan screamed. Gohan flew up to him until he was many feet in front of Tirek, as a Super Saiyan. "Impossible! You were bone dry!" Tirek said. "Clearly I wasn't, and I'm not about to let Equestria fall to you!" Gohan shouted. "A fool, and nothing more." Tirek said, attempting to take Gohan's power again. Gohan moved quickly this time, dropkicking Tirek in the stomach as hard as he could. Tirek actually coughed. Gohan then uppercutted Tirek's giant head. Tirek had to walk backwards to recover. Tirek's size made him a big target, but his speed remained unchanged. "TAKE THIS!" He screamed. He blasted Gohan with extreme strength. Gohan held the immense blast back, struggling to keep it from hitting him. "DIE!" Tirek screamed, putting more power into his blast. Gohan eventually couldn't stop it, and was enveloped by it. Tirek cackled. But, Gohan was still inside the smoke. Half his orange shirt was destroyed, and everything else was ripped a little bit. "What!? Impossible!" Tirek said. "You're good, I have to say." Gohan said. Tirek grunted before he smashed his giant fist into Gohan. Gohan blocked by holding his hands out, and was pushed to the ground. As he held the fist on the ground, the ground shattered. During all this, the rest of the Mane 6 and Discord went to the Tree of Harmony. Gohan sidestepped to avoid any more destroyed land, and flew up to smash his fist in Tirek's face. "Grah! DIE!" Tirek shouted, swatting Gohan away. He then fired another blast at Gohan. "KAMEHAMEHA!" Gohan screamed, firing the Kamehameha wave. 'I'm gonna need Super Saiyan 2! Damn it!' Gohan thought. The collision exploded, and Gohan flew past the debris of ki and magic to kick Tirek in the face again. Then, Gohan pulled out his sword and charged it up with ki. His swung his sword across Tirek's chest. Tirek yelped in pain. "WHY YOU...!" Tirek shouted, healing himself with magic. Gohan landed on the ground and jumped back to avoid an incoming blast of magic. He blasted three more ki blasts to damage Tirek. Tirek was enraged because of how much of a nuisance Gohan was. So, he waited until Gohan would strike again. Gohan jumped in front of Tirek, about to slash again, but then Tirek grabbed Gohan. Gohan's sword fell to the ground, no longer charged. "NOW YOU WILL DIE!" Tirek screamed, putting his other hand on his grip, and he started to crush Gohan. Gohan screamed in pain. A few of his ribs actually broke. So, he powered up, making his aura flare again. It was enough to get himself out of Tirek's grip, so he flew back down to the ground. 'Alright, senzu bean number two!' Gohan thought as he ate another senzu bean. He also powered up because of the zenkai boost. Now, he was way ahead of Tirek in terms of power! Gohan swiftly picked up his sword and charged it again. Gohan jumped up, and flew all around Tirek as he threw plenty of ki blasts and slashed his body. Tirek was further enraged. Just then, the Mane 6 managed to open the chest! Each of the Mane 6 were given the Rainbow Power! Their manes became longer, with added colors to that and their bodies. Now they were in a friendship magic barrier above the battlefield, and they blasted Tirek with the most powerful magic of all! Tirek may have been affected, but he managed to absorb the new, immense power! "Oh no!" Gohan said. "W-What!?" Twilight asked. "D-Does this mean Gohan is stronger than friendship?" Pinkie Pie asked. "Thanks for the boost!" Tirek shouted, as he grew even larger. "HA!" Gohan yelled as he fired a full power energy blast. Tirek blocked with ease, the magic of Friendship gave him a hefty boost! "This isn't good!" Gohan said. Tirek blasted Gohan with an extreme magic blast. The Mane 6 were puzzled as to what they were to do now. Gohan landed on a mountain, and was burrowed deep inside. "Yes! I have finally defeated that pest!" Tirek shouted. The Mane 6 all gasped. "Now what!? Gohan can't be defeated, he's a good guy!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed. "And now it's your turn, ponies!" Tirek shouted, about to blast them. But, a faint yell could be heard from the mountains. "What is it now!?" Tirek shouted. The mountain exploded in yellow aura! Tirek was shocked, and the Mane 6 were happy that Gohan was still alive. Gohan flew to the battlefield. He had a new look... As a Super Saiyan 2! Oh, and his shirt was completely gone. But his sword and sheath remained. "What? Your hair changed? Just die already!" Tirek shouted, blasting Gohan with full power. Gohan held his hand out, blocking the blast with ease. "It's over... TIREK!" Gohan screamed, flying so fast around Tirek that nobody could see him. He kept landing plenty of hits on Tirek, and further weakening him. "Grah! How did you attain such power!?" Tirek screamed. Gohan stoped his assault. "I'M MY FATHER'S SON! AND NOW, KA..." Gohan screamed, charging up the Kamehameha. "No! You will not succeed!" Tirek shouted. "ME..." Gohan screamed. Tirek began to charge his own blast with his horns. "HA... ME...." Gohan screamed. "DIE!" Tirek screamed, blasting at full power. "HA!" Gohan screamed, blasting at full power. Gohan's blast overwhelmed Tirek's instantly. Tirek couldn't even hold Gohan's Kamehameha wave off, it was that powerful. Tirek screamed in agony as he died shrinking and losing his power. The magic and ki he had stole went to Gohan and the Mane 6. Well, ki to Gohan, magic to Mane 6. Gohan had the power of a Super Saiyan 2 and another Super Saiyan! It was like going Super Saiyan 3! Except it's not. At all. "W-What are we supposed to do with this magic?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Deliver it back to all of Equestria!" Twilight exclaimed. The magic of Equestria circled around the Mane 6 as a rainbow. They all flew up, and each pony flew across the land, giving everyone who lost their magic their respective powers back. As a shockwave, somehow. The unicorns had their magic, the pegasi could fly again, and the earth ponies regained their strength! Everyone also got their cutie mark back. Finally, the magic of the princesses were restored to them. They were freed from their prison in Tartarus. The Mane 6 returned to the Tree of Harmony, where a certain Super Saiyan 2 waited. The Rainbow Power went back inside the chest, and the chest was taken on a rainbow to the ground of Ponyville. It turned into A GIANT CASTLE! The seven were teleported in front of it, and the Mane 6 lost the Rainbow Power. "There's a new castle!" Gohan said. He turned to his friends... Who were in turn staring at him. "Why aren't we just looking at the castle?" Gohan asked. "Sweet Celestia! I have never seen that before!" Rainbow Dash said. "Well, I may have, but now I'm seriously noticing how buff Gohan is!" Twilight said. "Me too." Fluttershy said. "Me three." Rarity said. "C-Could we stop staring at me!? I'll put on a shirt later!" Gohan said, blushing. Then everyone averted their attention to the castle. "Sweet Celestia! Are you all seeing what I'm seeing!?" Rarity exclaimed. "Who's is it?" Twilight asked. "I believe it is yours, Princess Twilight." Celestia said. Everyone turned around to see the three princesses, Spike and Discord. Gohan was still pretty pissed at him. And he was a Super Saiyan 2. So even more pissed. "Son Gohan, I apologize for underestimating you." Celestia said. "Yes, we believed that you were not strong enough to handle Tirek." Luna said. "But, now we see that you are far beyond any of us can ever achieve." Celestia said. Gohan actually smiled, as a Super Saiyan 2! And he reverted back to base form. Then he chuckled. *** Everyone was walking through the halls of the castle. "You've been wondering about what you're meant to do as a princess. Do you know now?" Celestia asked. "As princess, I believe I have the power to spread the magic of Friendship across Equestria. That is the role I am meant to have in our world, the role I choose to have!" Twilight exclaimed. She teleported to be beside her friends. And they hugged. "Then it is unlikely that you will do this task alone." Celestia said, opening the doors to the throne room. Everyone gasped as they saw the room. "You are now Twilight Sparkle, Princess of Friendship!" Celestia exclaimed. Eight chairs! With cutie marks! Well, one had "孫悟飯" written on it. Another had nothing. Everyone entered the room. The Mane 6 each took their seats. Gohan inspected his own. "Is this supposed to be mine?" He asked. "I believe so..." Celestia said. "It has my name, so!" Gohan said, jumping up and sitting on his throne. "But what is the Princess of Friendship without her friends?" Celestia asked. Then everyone got up and got into a group hug. "Yeah... Why do I have a throne, I'm not part of the Elements of Harmony." Gohan said. "I suppose you're very close." Celestia said. Discord was actually looking from a distance. Twilight used her magic to get Discord into the group hug. "Wait a minute, where's my throne?" Discord asked. "I don't think you're quite there yet." Fluttershy said. "Well yes, I suppose not." Discord said with a smile. "I'll let you sit on mine from time to time." Gohan said. "Even though you contributed to this Tirek problem." He added. "We really cannot thank you enough for ending Tirek." Cadence said. "W-Well, he and Discord may have taken my power, but..." Gohan said, patting his bag of senzu beans. "Yes, I really must apologize, Gohan." Discord said. "I'm still very angry, Discord. But as long as you're okay now, then I won't kill you. In fact, now I have the power of a Super Saiyan in my base form because of that." Gohan said. "No... Really?" Discord asked. "Getting more power every time I heal, and my stolen ki was returned in full." Gohan said. "That's awesome! Now it will be tens of times the Super Saiyan power!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed. "We are blessed to have you on our side." Celestia said, bowing along with everyone else. "Come on, Twilight's the princess here. I'm no leader..." Gohan said. Then everyone laughed. Author's Note So Gohan's power level is about 50,000,000,000 at base now. If you even care. Equestria Girls: Rainbow RocksThe night of the Fall Formal, a commotion was going on at a fast food restaurant. Everyone was arguing because three heavenly voices were stealing their magic from the fighting. The three were Adagio Dazzle, Sonata Dusk and Aria Blaze. Also known as the Dazzlings. "Ugh, that was barely worth the effort, Adagio. I'm tired of fast food, I need a meal!" Aria complained. "The energy in this world isn't the same as Equestria! We can only gain so much power here." Adagio said. "Ugh! I wish we were never banished to this place." Aria said. "Really? I love it here!" Adagio said sarcastically. "For realsies? I think this place is the worst." Sonata said. "I think you're the worst, Sonata." Aria said. "Oh yeah? Well I think you're-" "Ugh." Adagio interrupted. "I'll tell you one thing, being stuck here with you two isn't making this world any more bearable." Adagio said. Suddenly, magic could be seen and felt in the distance. The Dazzlings rushed outside to see! They saw the power of Friendship. Their necklaces made her feel the power of it. "Did you feel that!?" Adagio asked, before grinning. "Do you know what that is?" She asked. The other two didn't know. "It's Equestrian magic!" Adagio said. "This world doesn't HAVE Equestrian magic." Aria said. "It does now, and we're going to use it to make everyone in this pathetic little world adore us." Adagio said. *** It was another day at CHS. Nobody was ever letting Sunset Shimmer live down the fact that she turned into a demon. And how she was a jerk beforehand. Except her new friends, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Rarity and Fluttershy. In other news, everyone except Sunset Shimmer in the group can get their pony parts when they perform with instruments. And CHS is having a Musical Showcase. And the Dazzlings are now attending CHS. So... Something bad is happening. They've even got everyone to argue at lunch with their song. Battle of the Bands. Now everyone was arguing, making them even stronger. Except the humanized Mane 6. Includes Sunset Shimmer. And they were fighting about the CHS Musical Showcase. It just turned into the Battle of the Bands. Sunset Shimmer knows that they possess some sort of dark magic. Somehow, they got the principals under their spell. And now everyone was waiting outside the portal. "If only we can get to Twilight, maybe she could break the spell they cast on our friends!" Rarity said. "Well, that's not gonna happen. The portal's closed. And I have the feeling that they don't have cell phones where she's from." Rainbow Dash said. "I have an idea how we can get in touch with Princess Twilight and... Uh... I actually forgot his name." Sunset Shimmer said. "I think it was... Rice?" Pinkie Pie asked. "Uh... Yeah, he did say something about it being rice... So Twilight and Rice." Applejack said. "I think it was Gohan. How did we forget his name?" Rainbow Dash asked. "I know we've even mentioned him before... Oh well, we'll find out when he's here." Sunset Shimmer said. *** Gohan and Twilight got the message from Sunset Shimmer through a book that was glowing and vibrating. "What is it, Twilight?" Fluttershy asked. "It looks like a message to Princess Celestia from my friends at Canterlot High." Twilight said. "You mean Sunset Shimmer had some sort of book to write to her? Something bad's definitely happened." Gohan said. "Yes, it sounds like they need our help." Twilight said. *** After some research, the Sirens were behind all this magic. They were three beautiful but dangerous creatures that had the voices to elude ponies. They fed on the negativity of others through division of ponies. Starswirled the Bearded had stopped them, and sent them to the world of Equestria Girls. Twilight fashioned a portal to this world, that never closes. She even went on a long lecture about it. The only one listening was Gohan, because being a nerd had it's perks. "Say what now?" Spike asked. "Duh! She's gonna take the magic in here," Pinkie Pie said, pointing a hoof at Celestia's book to Sunset Shimmer. "And put it in there!" She added, pointing a hoof at the portal. "And the portal will open up and whenever she wants to, she can go from here to there!" Pinkie Pie said. And the portal did work! "Alright! I get to see my own kind again!" Gohan said. "I guess you really like it over there." Rainbow Dash said. "Hey, I want to be around my own kind too! Give me a break." Gohan said. Now Spike, Gohan and Twilight were going to go through the portal! *** The Equestria Girls Mane 6 were just waiting outside the portal. Rainbow Dash sighed. "I'm starting to think she's not coming." Rainbow Dash said. Then, the three burst through the portal! "Twilight!" Everyone exclaimed. "I'm back...!" Twilight said. Sunset Shimmer held her hand out to help her up, and Twilight hesitantly took it. Sunset Shimmer did the same for Gohan, but he declined. "I'm too heavy, you might lose an arm." Gohan said, standing up. The rest of the girls got into a group hug with Twilight. Then it finally broke. "And... Gohan, right?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Yeah, that's me." Gohan said. "What's with the cool sword?" Rainbow Dash asked. Gohan realized he still had his sword. "I forgot to leave it..." Gohan said, holding the handle of his sword. "Superheroes forget a lot too, I guess. Didn't know you practiced fighting and sword stuff." Rainbow Dash said. "Rainbow, he's a swordsman." Rarity corrected. "Whatever." Rainbow Dash said. "And Sunset Shimmer, how are you?" Gohan asked. "Me? I'm fine, thanks. Except everyone's not accepting of the new me." Sunset Shimmer said. "Don't worry, they'll understand soon. If it makes you feel any better, I accept the new you?" Gohan asked. "Actually... It does. I was an enemy, trying to kill you and now I'm a friend? Usually you'd kill your enemies, right?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "If they can't forget their evil ways, I have no choice." Gohan said. "You've actually killed villains before?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "Yes, but back to the point at hand!" Gohan said. "Yeah, I've got some bad news about those girls." Twilight said. *** Everyone was at Sugarcube Corner now. Gohan, Rarity and Twilight were on the sofa while everyone else was standing or on a chair. "Oh I hate that you have to return here in a time of crisis. We have so much catching up to do!" Rarity said. "For starters, a blue haired guitar player was asking about you." Applejack said. "Flash Sentry was asking about me!?" Twilight asked, twirling her hair and blushing. Everyone noticed her outburst, and she changed her tone. "Ahem, Well, isn't that nice?" She asked. "Perhaps you could give us the slightest bit of gossip from your world?" Rarity asked. "She's got an official title now. The Princess of Friendship!" Spike said, then making trumpet sounds. "Wasn't she the Princess of Friendship once she was an alicorn?" Gohan asked. "Well, yeah... But I mean, ponies now know her as the princess." Spike said. "Oh, okay." Gohan said. "Wow, that's pretty impressive! I guess you really were Princess Celestia's prized pupil." Sunset Shimmer said. "She's even got her own castle." Spike said. "A CASTLE? You have your own castle!?" Rarity exclaimed. She realized her outburst. "Oh, well that's lovely." Rarity said. "Where does Gohan live?" Applejack asked. Gohan laughed awkwardly. "A shack... On the outskirts of town..." He said. "Seriously?" Pinkie Pie asked. "Yeah, we kinda expected you to live with your parents or her." Rainbow Dash said. Gohan frowned at the word parents, but he regained his composure. "Anything else happen?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Well, Gohan just defeated a giant monster who was going to rule Equestria." Twilight said. Gohan smiled. "And he did it after his power was taken away." Twilight added. Gohan looked down. "And he lost his entire shirt." Twilight added with a smirk. "Oh come on!" Gohan retorted, blushing. "You saw the rest of his body? I can only imagine..." Rarity said, blushing. "Why!?" Gohan asked, blushing even harder. "Come on, aren't you a hit with the girls over there?" Rainbow Dash asked, nudging Gohan. "I'm not interested in making love to a pony, and I'm not looking for love!" Gohan retorted. "I'm only twelve!" He added, crossing his arms. "Does somebody have a crush?" Pinkie Pie asked. "Whoever it is, it's not me!" Gohan said, his blush disappearing. "Come on, you have to had a crush where you came from originally!" Rainbow Dash said. "I was home schooled and I'm at college level now!" Gohan said, uncrossing his arms. "I didn't know you were that much of an egghead." Rainbow Dash said. "Okay." Gohan said. "If you want to be some sort of scholar so bad, why do you keep being a warrior?" Applejack asked. "It helps me cope!" Gohan retorted. "Cope with what?" Rarity asked. "Uh... Well, I'd rather not say." Gohan said, hanging his head down. "It's a sensitive subject for him." Twilight reassured. "Did anything else happen?" Fluttershy asked. "I received the powers of a Super Saiyan in base form, I guess. So I can be a Super Saiyan of a Super Saiyan, technically." Gohan said. "Why don't you show them Super Saiyan 2?" Twilight asked. "Yeah, show us!" Pinkie Pie said. "No, it's too much. I don't like going Super Saiyan 2." Gohan said. "Why?" Rainbow Dash asked. "It clouds my judgement, and makes me uncharacteristically sadistic. Also it's a constant reminder of pain that will never cease." Gohan said. "Uh... Constant reminder of pain?" Rarity said. "I believe that's a good reason to stay away from it. I can't imagine how your war face really is..." Fluttershy said. "Trust me, it's scary." Twilight said. "L-Let's move the conversation away from me." Gohan said. "Come on, what isn't there about you that's uncool?" Rainbow Dash asked. "My dad's death." Gohan mumbled. "What was that?" Rarity asked. "N-Nothing." Gohan said. "...What's new here? Besides the school being a target by magical creatures of Equestria." Twilight said. "...Yeah, so that isn't the only strange thing that's happened since you left." Rainbow Dash said, pulling out her phone. She showed a video of her growing her wings, pony ears and longer hair while playing guitar. "Wow. You play guitar?" Gohan asked. "Yep! Pretty sweet, huh?" Rainbow Dash asked. "It happens to all of us when we play." She added. "Well, my crown was returned to Equestria, but some of its magic must have stayed at Canterlot High. Now that we're back together, we can use that magic on the Sirens! Just like we all did on Sunset Shimmer when she was a horrifying monster!- No offense." Twilight said. "None taken, heh. I'm used to it." Sunset Shimmer said. "Be glad you weren't the worst one, I fought against tyrants who ruled the universe." Gohan said. "Really? Then I'm not really the worst villain..." Sunset Shimmer said. "You're not a villain anymore." Gohan said. "Wait... Why doesn't Gohan just defeat the Sirens for us?" Rainbow Dash asked. "I like to give others a chance at playing hero, alright? I don't want to play hero for the rest of my life, you know." Gohan said. "Besides, I'm fairly certain the magic of friendship's enough. Although it wasn't enough on Sunset Shimmer." He added. "Well, I guess. They'll never even know what hit them!" Rainbow Dash said, then throwing out some punches and kicks. She performed a roundhouse kick, then threw a punch at Gohan. Gohan blocked with a single index finger. "W-What?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Huh? Oh, sorry, I should have let you hit me." Gohan said. "No, you shouldn't but... You caught that with ONE finger?" Rainbow Dash asked. "What do you want me to do, use another force to make your fist go off course? Because I can." Gohan said. "No way, let me try." Rainbow Dash said, throwing a punch again. Gohan used his ki to actually push Rainbow Dash away. "Wow, that's awesome!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed. "Anyway, we've got nothing to worry about now that they're back." Applejack said. "Oh, I'm pretty sure I have something to worry about... But it won't be the Sirens!" Fluttershy said. "The sooner we do this, the better. Any idea where the Dazzlings might be?" Twilight asked. "Oh, they're that way." Gohan said, pointing in a direction. "Wait... You know where they are!? How!?" Pinkie Pie asked. "Are you psychic?" She added. "First question, I can sense other life forms. Second, no." Gohan said. "Anyway, the Dazzlings will be at the big party tonight for all the bands who signed up to be in the showcase." Pinkie Pie said. "Looks like we have a party to crash!" Twilight said. *** All the bands were in the gymnasium, and boy. Did they all hate each other. The good guys were at the food bar. "Guys, these people will do anything to win." Gohan said. "What makes you say that?" Applejack asked. "It's pretty obvious, if they're that divided over a contest. The Dazzlings have them under a spell." Gohan said. "But nobody can possess magic other than us." Twilight said. "That's wrong. The Dazzlings certainly have it." Gohan said. "Uh okay, well-" Twilight said, before Flash Sentry accidentally bumped into her. Flash even caught her before she fell, and it looked romantic from an outside view. "Twilight?" He asked. "Uh- Bumped! Into, always! Doing..." Twilight managed to say. "What are you doing here? You came back for the big competition, right?" Flash asked, letting Twilight stand again. "Well, something like that." Twilight said. "Heh. It's not like there's going to be any real competition. No one wants this as bad as my band does." Flash said proudly. Then, the Dazzlings came into the gym. Gohan stared at them. 'They're suppressing themselves.' He thought. "Hey Twilight, the -Reason- is here." Gohan whispered. Twilight looked over to the Dazzlings. "Could you excuse me for just a minute?" Twilight asked, walking away. The other girls and boy followed. Pinkie Pie was stuffing her mouth with cookies. The Dazzlings looked at their 'art'. Chaos everywhere, powering them up even more. "Oh no! No one's mingling! It's like there's some underlying tension that could bubble to the surface at any minute." Adagio said. "It's the fruit punch, isn't it! I knew I used too much grape juice!" Sonata said, holding apple cider. "It's not the fruit punch- It's us!" Adagio said. 'All I needed to hear.' Gohan thought. "This is just the kickoff party, girls. Imagine what a tizzy it'll be by the time the Battle of the Bands start." Adagio said. "There isn't going to be a Battle of the Bands!" Twilight said. "And we're going to make sure of that!" She added. "Alright, girls, let's do this!" She said. "Friendship is magic!" She exclaimed. They held hands, trying to use friendship. Nothing was happening. Everyone looked in confusion. "Uh, weren't there rainbows and stuff last time?" Rainbow Dash asked. "I don't understand... We're all together again... Why isn't this working?" Twilight asked. "Gohan, do the thing!" Pinkie Pie whispered. "What thing...?" Gohan asked. "Shoot laser beams at them!" Pinkie Pie said. "What? No! Hush!" Gohan whispered. "Talk about throwing down the gauntlet, this group is serious about winning! A little cocky though, aren't they? Claiming there won't REALLY be a battle. Seems like they have this thing all locked up." Adagio said. "Not if the Great and Power Trixie has anything to do with it!" Trixie shouted. "Whatever, Trixie! We're the best band at CHS!" Flash said. "No! Crusaders are gonna win!" Applebloom shouted. Fighting began again, powering the Dazzlings even more. 'Those necklaces...' Gohan thought. Their ki also rose, giving Gohan all needs to know about the Dazzlings. The only people who weren't fighting were the Mane 6 and Gohan. "Well, I think we've found what we're looking for. Or rather, it found us." Adagio said. Her allies didn't know what she was talking about. "Ugh! Magic! Don't you see? Everyone else has fallen under our spell, but not these people." Adagio said. The Mane 6 were walking away. "Do you guys really like to reveal your plan in a public place?" Gohan asked. "Well, if you possess magic, then we'll-" "I don't. At all. I just got here." Gohan interrupted Adagio. "If- Oh! I think we have another addendum to our plan, girls." Adagio said. "You are horrible at keeping your plans a secret, seriously." Gohan said. "Just go away already, we know your friends are special!" Adagio exclaimed. Gohan walked away, towards his friends. *** The girls, dog and boy were on the stairs outside CHS. "This doesn't make any sense! I should've been able to create the spark that would break their spell! That's how it worked before! Kind of." Twilight said. "To defeat me, you drew magic from the crown I was wearing. The Sirens' magic come from their music. So maybe you have to use the same kind of magic to defeat them!" Sunset Shimmer said. "Or we could just have Gohan kill them for us." Rainbow Dash said. "I don't like killing my enemies, okay? Besides, I'm only here for backup, I'm not playing hero." Gohan said. "Sunset Shimmer, you're on to something." Twilight said. "Really?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "It's when you play music that you transform now, right?" Twilight asked. "Yep. Ears, tails, the whole thing." Applejack said. "So maybe we can use magic to defeat the Sirens by using a magical counterspell!" Twilight said. "You mean, like a song?" Fluttershy asked. "Yep! If we want to free everyone from the Sirens' spell, we'll need them all to hear it." Twilight said. "The band competition! That's when we can be certain that everyone will be in the same place at the same time." Rarity said. "Guess the Rainbooms are a band to beat." Applejack said. "And you, Twilight, just became the Rainbooms' newest member." Rarity said. The Rainbooms walked up to Twilight, giggling. Sunset Shimmer wasn't happy that she wasn't helping. Gohan remained on the steps with her. "So, what are you going to play? Triangle? Sousaphone? Theremin?" Pinkie Pie asked, pulling out all those instruments and playing them. "So magical..." She added. "It might take me a while to learn how to play something with these." Twilight said, showing her hands. "I can sing." She said. "You mean, like, lead singer? Because, that's usually my thing, since it's my band and all." Rainbow Dash asked. "It's OUR band. And of course it's lead singer, she's the one with the magical knowhow to pull this thing off!" Applejack said. "Okay, yeah, that's cool. I'll just use this as a chance to hone my already insane lead guitar skills." Rainbow Dash said. "It's only temporary, and we don't have to win the Battle of the Bands. We just have to perform during the first round of the competition!" Twilight said. "Let's get to learning that musical counterspell!" Rainbow Dash said. "That's just it, I don't know any." Twilight said. "Aw." Everyone else said. "But I'm sure I can figure out how to write one!" Twilight reassured. "Totally! Twilight can write a spell like it's nobody's business! That's pretty much how she became a princess in Equestria." Spike said. "I technically added to a spell, I didn't create it. There's more to it than that, Spike." Twilight said. "Yeah, whatever." Spike said. "I've got this, come on!" Twilight said, picking up Spike and heading inside the school. "Where are you going?" Applejack asked. "Well, last time we were here, Gohan, Spike and I spent the night in the library." Twilight said. "Are you crazy? We're besties now!" Pinkie Pie said, hugging Twilight. "Slumber party at my house!" She exclaimed. *** Everyone was at Pinkie Pie's place, in her room. They all were wearing PJs. Except Gohan, he didn't have anything, and Twilight had some from Pinkie Pie. Pinkie Pie was on her laptop, Rainbow Dash and Applejack were playing a video game, Twilight was on the bed thinking, Rarity and Sunset Shimmer were talking, and Gohan sat beside the gamers. He felt a little weird being the only boy there not counting Spike. "Status update: Okey dokey lokey!" Pinkie Pie said. Rarity, Fluttershy and Sunset Shimmer all took a selfie, with Spike in the background. Rarity was not happy about that. Rainbow Dash and Applejack were playing, and Rainbow Dash was losing. So she shut off the console. "Hey! I was just about to beat you!" Applejack said. "I doubt that happened. So Twilight, how's that counter spell coming?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Oh! Uh, great! Thanks for letting me use your notebook, Fluttershy. I really like the song you wrote for the Rainbooms." Twilight said. "Thank you, hopefully one day we'll get a chance to play it." Fluttershy said. Rainbow Dash stole Applejack's controller and was making Applejack work to get it. "Hey!" Applejack said, while Rainbow Dash laughed. "Come on, Rainbow, give the controller back." Gohan said with a smile. "Yeah!" Applejack said. Rainbow Dash kept laughing. "Twilight, I think I speak for all of us when I say we cannot thank you enough for bringing us back together again. And you're helping us again!" Rarity said. "Uh huh!" Everyone said. "Rainbow, give the controller back." Gohan said a little more sternly. "Okay, okay." Rainbow Dash said, handing the controller back to Applejack. "Thanks." Applejack said. "Hey Gohan, I have a question." Rainbow Dash said. "Go ahead." Gohan said. "Do you have any students or something?" Rainbow Dash asked. "That does sound like a good question." Rarity said. "I currently have the other Rainbow Dash under my tutelage, and I temporarily trained Fluttershy." Gohan said. "You're training me over there!?" Rainbow Dash exclaimed. "I was your student?" Fluttershy asked, a little confused. "Yes to both." Gohan said. "Will you train me!?" Rainbow Dash asked, lunging herself forward until she was inches away from Gohan. "I suppose..." Gohan said. "Yes! Alright!" Rainbow Dash cheered, jumping up. "What are you going to teach her?" Applejack asked. "First, discipline." Gohan said with a smirk. The other girls giggled. "Ugh. Anything else?" Rainbow Dash asked. "It depends. Do you want to learn martial arts, how to fly, and-" "Did you say fly?" Rainbow Dash interrupted. "Um... Yes." Gohan said. "So I can fly like you!?" Rainbow Dash asked. "OOH! I want to join, I want to join!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed. "O-Okay! Okay! Yes, you two can fly without wings. But again, it takes a lot of work- It doesn't come easily." Gohan said. "Alright! This is awesome, I get to learn how to fight AND fly!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed. "You and me both!" Pinkie Pie said. Gohan smiled awkwardly. 'I guess this is what I get for being best friends with women.' He thought. "Let's do it as soon as this Dazzling situation's gone!" Rainbow Dash said. "Uh... Okay, so Twilight, I'll have to return to Equestria a little later than you?" Gohan asked. "Not a problem. You control your own life, I'm not your mother." Twilight said. Gohan laughed. The doorbell rang. "Pizza's here!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed, and the five girls ran out of the room. "I honestly don't know what pizza is." Gohan said. Twilight looked at her progress, which was none, and sighed. "You alright?" Gohan asked. "I guess, it's just that I can't come up with any counter spell." Twilight said. "Don't worry, you'll figure it out eventually." Gohan said. "I guess." Twilight said, walking out of the room. Then Pinkie stuck her head into the room. "Don't you want any pizza!? I ordered extra for you!" Pinkie Pie said. "I don't think I've had pizza before, but I might as well try." Gohan said, standing up and walking out of the room. *** Now everyone was BACK in the room. Gohan finished three boxes of pizza in a flash... "I cannot tell if he's a pig or a gentleman." Rarity whispered to Sunset Shimmer. "I heard that!" Gohan said. "Super hearing? That's awesome!" Sunset Shimmer said. "OOH! Why doesn't Gohan tell us his backstory so we get to know him better!?" Pinkie Pie asked. "Yeah, I'm game!" Rainbow Dash said. "Sounds good." Applejack said. "I think I'll like it." Fluttershy said. "Cool." Sunset Shimmer said. "That sounds quite nice." Rarity said. "Come on, do you really want to know?" Gohan asked. "Uh huh!" Everyone said. "Because... It's a little random, gorey and sad." Gohan said. "Yes!" Everyone said. "Alright... Everyone get comfortable, because this is a LONG story." Gohan said. Everyone sat around Gohan on the floor. "So it all started when I was four, and my uncle came from space and kidnapped me." Gohan said. "Wow!" Applejack said. "Already a freaking climax!" Rainbow Dash said. "That sounds awful!" Fluttershy said. *** Gohan told the rest of his story, about the Saiyans, Frieza, Androids and Cell. Even his former friends. All the girls but Twilight were crying. Fluttershy was the first to cry, right after Goku died against Raditz. "That is so sad..." Rarity said. "Those are some no good friends!" Applejack said. "It's in the past, I don't care anymore. They're gone." Gohan said. "How could you just forget about it?" Fluttershy asked. "Yeah, that sounds stupid. I'd bash their skulls in myself!" Rainbow Dash said. "I can't forget about it, silly. It's the worst time in my life. But it's over." Gohan said. "Oh... We're all surprised that you can even smile after such a time..." Applejack said. Everyone else nodded. "We shouldn't dwell on it, it's bedtime. Night." Gohan said, laying down on the floor. "What? It's 8:00." Rarity said. "I have tons of sleeping bags..." Pinkie Pie said. "I'm fine..." Gohan said before he actually drifted off. "Gohan?" Applejack asked. Gohan was lightly snoring. "He fell asleep already?" Rainbow Dash asked. *** Gohan woke up VERY early. So early that he could feel Sunset Shimmer and Twilight were awake. *** Sunset Shimmer opened the refrigerator. "We're really lucky you're here." She said to Twilight. "That's what everyone keeps telling me." Twilight said. "Who could possibly need this much whipped cream?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "The party person with a possible sugar addiction." Gohan said. Sunset Shimmer and Twilight turned around to see Gohan. "You were snoring just 6 hours ago." Sunset Shimmer said. "I wake up early all the time. Except for days that I'm particularly lazy." Gohan said. "When ARE you lazy?" Twilight asked. "When I oversleep, but still train. In fact, I still don't know how I'm going to train- Maybe at the school, but it's not normal for me." Gohan said. "Must be nice that everyone looks to you two to fix a problem, not when you cause a problem." Sunset Shimmer said, putting some whipped cream on her finger. "It really isn't- Especially when I'm overestimated." Gohan said. "Just because everyone expects it doesn't mean it's going to happen." Twilight said. "That doesn't stop them from expecting it." Sunset Shimmer said. "Which only makes it harder because the last thing you want to do is-" "Let everybody down." Twilight, Sunset Shimmer and Gohan said. "And someone else is here." Gohan added. "Who?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "Close the fridge." Gohan said. Maud Pie was was there, startling Sunset Shimmer. She screamed. "Boulder was hungry." Maud Pie said, casually opening a cabinet and "feeding" her pebble Boulder crackers as she walked away. "I still can't get over the fact that she's related to Pinkie Pie!" Sunset Shimmer whispered. "Applejack's related to her, so anything's possible." Gohan said. "Really?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "Yep." Gohan and Twilight said. Sunset Shimmer yawned. "Well, I better get back to sleep. Good luck on that counterspell- Not that you'll need it, it's probably the same stuff you're expected to deal with being a princess in Equestria." She said, walking away. "Sunset Shimmer?" Twilight asked. Sunset Shimmer turned around. "...Nevermind, it's not that important." Twilight said. Sunset Shimmer shrugged and went back to bed. "Why didn't you tell her?" Gohan whispered. "It's too soon!" Twilight whispered back. *** "Hey... Hey... Listen..." Twilight sang, before the microphone starting giving feedback. The Mane 6 were practicing. Everyone was at Sweet Apple Acres... In the garage. "We've got a message for you..." Twilight sang horribly, with more feedback. "We're not all alike... But our friendship is true..." Twilight sang horribly. "Yeah we're really different!" Twilight sang- You get the point. Sunset Shimmer had to turn off the damn speaker because of it. "But we still get along!" Twilight sang. Fluttershy tried adding extra tambourine sounds, only to be hushed by Rainbow Dash. "So hey, hey!" Twilight sang terribly. "Listen to our song..." She sang so bad that Rainbow Dash had Fluttershy add those extra tambourine sounds. It was so terrible that Granny Smith put apple cores in her ears. "You may think you're-" "STOP! GOOD GREEN GOD, STOP!" Gohan interrupted. "You've sang a LOT better than this before, why is your voice so bad!?" Gohan asked. "It was better than the... Last, five times she played it." Spike reassured. "Nope." Big Mac said, carrying a bucket of apples. "But she needs to sing with heart!" Gohan said. "I think it's pretty obvious what's wrong here." Rainbow Dash said. "You mean turning what's supposed to be the chorus into a guitar solo!?" Applejack sneered. "I have to pick up the slack SOMEHOW! Are you guys even trying!?" Rainbow Dash asked. "I'm trying!" Fluttershy managed to say. "It's fine- It'll be fine! One more time from the top!" Twilight said. .......... "...Or, perhaps we could take a short break." Rarity said. "Good, I want to try doing farm work." Gohan said, trying to walk out of the garage before Rarity stopped him. "What I meant was, instead of getting dirty while working, we could try some of the wardrobe choices I put together?" Rarity asked. "I'm not wearing anything cheesy!" Gohan said. "I'm particularly fond of this one." Rarity said, wearing a sparkly dress. "Nope." Gohan said, walking back in the garage. "Or we could try something a bit more modern..." Rarity said. "We're trying to save our school here, stop with the costumes!" Applejack complained. Rarity was hilariously wearing a robotic helmet and a sparkly suit. "Uh! You could never have enough costumes!" Rarity retorted in a robot voice. "She just wants to make things fun! Isn't that what being in a band's suppose to be?" Pinkie Pie asked, beating the drums with a final cymbal. "We can't be wasting time with this! We're supposed to be at the Battle of the Bands in 15 minutes!" Sunset Shimmer said. Everyone gasped. "Alright, everyone grab on to each other- Grab your stuff- And I'll carry us all there!" Gohan said. *** Now everyone was in the gym, ready to duke it out! "Welcome to the first ever Canterlot High School Battle of the Bands! I believe I speak for everyone when I say that it's by far the best thing we've ever done here at this school!" Celestia said. Everyone participating cheered. "We are so glad that our three new students turned this event into something exciting!" Celestia said, referring to the Dazzlings. "But- Now that this is a competition- We can only choose one winner. Who is it going to be?" Luna asked. Everyone was arguing again! This further powered the Dazzlings up. "Feel that, girls? Our true power is being restored." Adagio said, before the trio laughed. They stopped when they saw the Rainbooms and Gohan. And Sunset Shimmer. "And that's before we tap into the strongest magic here. Especially the boy." Adagio said. "I heard that!" Gohan called. "Just as I suspected." Adagio said. "I also heard that!" He called. "Why are you yelling?" Applejack asked. "They want to use me as their weapon, apparently. And it's not going to happen." Gohan said. "But the Rainblossoms or whatever aren't under our spell. How exactly are we supposed to get to them?" Aria asked. "The boy doesn't possess magic, but great strength. He hasn't heard our music yet." Adagio said. "And, the Rainbooms are just as capable of falling apart as anyone else. They just need a little *whoof* along the right direction." Adagio said. "Everyone here is lining up to give them a shove." She added. "Not with the boy around." Aria said. "We'll just have to see about that." Adagio said. *** Snips and Snails just "performed." By perform, I mean fuck- I mean, do bad. "We're ready to- Wait, where's Rarity?" Pinkie Pie asked. "I'm here!" Rarity said, running up in something "fabulous." With metal keys and stuff. "We're performing in front of an audience, we need to look good!" Rarity said. Applejack facepalmed. "Just go- I'll be backstage with Spike and Sunset Shimmer." Gohan said. *** The Rainbooms had to play good enough that they don't get their wings. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=fdVdpRzUzR0 "We just had the day! To get ready! And there's only so much time to lose~! Because, Tonight! Yeah, we're here to party! So let's think of something fun to do! We don't know!" The Rainbooms sang. "We don't know!" The chorus sang. But, during this great song, some cheaters were ready to cheat! Magnets were tied with a string, and dropped down on Rarity. "What's gonna happen! We just know," "We just know!" "it's gonna feel right!" They sang. Her arms were made useless! Because of her dumb outfit. Gohan took notice. "W-What do we do?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "I'll take care of this, just..." Gohan said, grabbing the handle of his sword. He moved so fast, he couldn't be seen. He cut the magnets off, and also took them. Allowing Rarity to play once more! Gohan jumped up to the top to find three girls behind the whole thing. "All our friends are here! And it's time to igni~i~te the ligh~ights!" The Rainbooms sang. Gohan unsheathed his sword, and pointed it at the three. They ran, as expected. "Shake your tail! 'Cause we're here to have a party tonight- Shake your tail! Shake your tai~ail!" They sang. Gohan jumped back down to Sunset Shimmer. "People are desperate." Gohan said. "Shake your tail! 'Cause we're here to have a party tonight- Shake your tail! Shake your tai~ail!" They sang. "So, what if you didn't get it right the first time?" Twilight sang. "Boring!" Applebloom said. Pinkie Pie noticed the bored expressions on the Crusaders' faces. So, she decided to kick it up a notch! She blasted confetti from a drum. "Laugh it off! No one said it is a crime!" Pinkie Pie sang. "Do your thing! You know you're an original!" Rarity sang. "Your ideas are so funny that they're criminal!" Applejack sang. "Oooohah!" They sang, before confetti got into Twilight's mouth, making her cough. "So this is the day! To get ready!" They sang. Fluttershy hit Twilight in the back with her tambourine, making her cough the confetti out. Flash Sentry seemed disinterested, and walked away. Twilight blushed, but also felt sad. "There's so much time to lose! Because tonight! Yeah we're here to party~!" They sang. Snips and Snails were up- Ready to cheat! "So let's think of something fun to do! We don't know! What's gonna happen!" They sang. They shone the stage light at Fluttershy, who constantly tried to hide. "All our friends are here! And it's time to igni~i~ite the ligh~ights!" They sang. Gohan flew up, breaking the stage light with a swift cut. Gohan held the broken piece in his hand as he stared at the duo while flying. Snips and Snails cowered and ran away. "Shake your tail! 'Cause we're here to have a party tonight- Shake your tail! Shake your tai~ail! Shake your tail! 'Cause we're here to have a party tonight-" They sang repeatedly. Gohan was humming along- He liked the song! "Shake your tail! 'Cause we're here to have a party tonight!" They finished. With an alright show! Celestia and Luna clapped! They loved it! Everyone else was staring daggers into them. The Rainbooms were walking back to backstage. "Alright! There were a few minor things, but we did it!" Rainbow Dash said. "Hey, people were trying to ruin it. I stepped in by removing magnets and destroying a stage light!" Gohan whispered. "It wouldn't have happened if SHE didn't insist on dressing up like... Like this!" Applejack said. "We need to sound good! There's some reason that concepts need to escape view!" She added. "And what was with the confetti, Pinkie Pie!? How am I suppose to shred if there's paper stuck in my strings!?" Rainbow Dash asked. "It was pretty distracting." Fluttershy added. "Uh! Says the girl who was running from a LIGHT! A LIGHT!" Pinkie Pie retorted. "You still sounded much better than most of the other bands." Sunset Shimmer said. "Yeah, I honestly loved it. We minimized the errors, but it worked out!" Gohan said. "You're still moving on to the next round, but we need to get the counter spell done before it all ends!" Sunset Shimmer said. "You guys need to find a place to practice without the Sirens knowing, and I'll be around to prevent them from doing anything." Gohan said. "I'll help." Sunset Shimmer said. "Alright, good." Gohan said, *** The group were walking in the hallway now. "I don't think we should use a classroom." Twilight said, before she bumped into Flash Sentry. Again. Twilight laughed nervously. "We really need to stop bumping into each other like this..." She said. Flash seemed... Disinterested? "Uh, you guys hear something?" Flash asked. "Nope." His two friends said. "I-I said, we should really have to stop-" "There it is again! It's so annoying!" Flash interrupted. "W-Why are you acting like this? I thought we were friends...?" Twilight asked. Flash took a deep breath. "Yeah! And then you decided to come back here to beat me in the Battle of the Bands! I want this, Twilight! And you're trying to take it from me! Some friend." He said. "That's not-" "I don't think that's how you address a friend." Gohan interrupted. "What did you say?" Flash asked. "This is a competition- Why wouldn't you expect one of your friends to be in it? You befriended her- And you're going to throw it away all because she's competing against you in a friendly contest!?" Gohan asked. "WELL MAYBE YOU SHOULD-" "KNOCK IT OFF!" Applejack yelled. "Come on, guys! We have things to do." Applejack said, dragging Twilight away. "You think you're gonna help them!? I bet you don't even know what you're doing!" Flash yelled. Twilight held back her tears. Adagio giggled from afar. "Tears already? This is only the first round." Adagio said, before laughing with her comrades. "We're on soon." Aria said. "You're not getting away with this." Sunset Shimmer said. The Dazzlings turned around. "Why? Because you didn't?" Adagio sneered. Sunset Shimmer couldn't retort. "Oh, we know all about you Sunset Shimmer. You've got quite the reputation at Canterlot High." Adagio said. "I've changed, I'm in a much better place now!" Sunset Shimmer retorted. "Waiting in the wings while your friends have all the fun?" Aria asked. "Oh yes, you girls are so nice. And yet- They didn't ask you to be in the band." Adagio sneered. "Probably afraid people won't see them play if she was in the group." Aria sneered. "Too bad! So bad!" Sonata sneered. "Stop taunting her." Gohan said. "Ugh, you again?" Aria asked. "Yes, me again. You guys have been getting stronger and stronger through all this arguing, but I'll warn you in advance- It'll never be enough to defeat me." Gohan said grimly. "And what makes you say that?" Sonata asked. "I'm in an entirely different league than you can ever achieve." Gohan said. "You should only beware if your plan seems to have worked." Gohan said. "Whatever, once we achieve the desired power, nothing can stop us!" Adagio boasted. Gohan burst into laughter. "Oh man..." he said. "Whatever, if it's any consolation- Nobody will remember Sunset Shimmer at all by the time we're done." Adagio said. The Dazzlings walked into the gym, bumping into Sunset Shimmer intentionally. "Are you alright?" Gohan asked. "I'm fine, I'm just... Worthless." Sunset Shimmer said, fighting back some tears. Gohan walked up closer to Sunset Shimmer. "Don't say that..." He said. "It's true, I don't do anything. All I've done is divide people- And I don't do anything to repay the people who have forgiven me." Sunset Shimmer said. "You repaid me." Gohan reassured. "In what way?" Sunset Shimmer asked, genuinely confused. "You gave up your old ways- And became our friend. That's all I need from you." Gohan said. "B-But..." Sunset Shimmer said. "Let me help- I'll try and convince them to let you participate in a way." Gohan said. "That... W-Why are you so nice to me after all I've done...?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "It's what my father would do- In fact, many of my greatest enemies became my friends. Before this whole thing." Gohan said. "Well... I really don't know how-" "Don't even try to repay me- You already did." He interrupted, smiling. Sunset Shimmer was brought back up again. "Come on, let's go." Gohan said. Sunset Shimmer hugged Gohan out of happiness. "Aw, hugs are nice." He commented... Again. *** Sunset Shimmer wasn't allowed entry into the Rainbooms... But, Gohan managed to keep her strong. As the Battle of the Bands went on, many things happened. Bands lost, some won, and people were even more divided. Even the Rainbooms were being divided. Despite Sunset Shimmer and Gohan's best efforts. What's worse- They were getting angrier at Gohan for trying to break up the dumb quarrels! "Buzz off, Gohan!" Rainbow Dash yelled. "We don't need your thoughts on this!" Applejack yelled. "You dare to mock me for my fashion!?" Rarity yelled. But a few didn't yell at Gohan... "T-Thanks for trying to get my song on..." Fluttershy said. "Thanks for trying to build me up- It's great!" Sunset Shimmer said. In fact, Gohan and Sunset Shimmer were the only ones who knew what the problem was. *** When Flash lost to the Dazzlings, he was ANGRY. Like, ANGERY angry. The Rainbooms were in the Semifinals, and up again! The group were backstage, waiting for Trixie to finish. Once she finished, Trixie already began taunting them. "Beat that, Rain-goos! You shouldn't be allowed to- With the big advantage over the rest of us!" Trixie sneered. "My superior guitar skills and my off the charts singing voice?" Rainbow Dash boasted. "Uh, don't be ridiculous. I mean her!" Trixie said, pointing at Twilight. "If you were really superior, Rainbow Dash, then you wouldn't have to bring a magical wringer to have half a chance. Everyone's talking about it." Trixie sneered. "Oh, puh-lease. I could win this whole thing as a soloist." Rainbow Dash mocked. Her friends looked at her with angry looks. Applejack even facepalmed. "Sure you could." Trixie said, before she 'disappeared!' "She's GONE!" Pinkie Pie said. "Nope. She's just over there." Gohan said, pointing at Pinkie Pie's drums. Trixie ran as soon as she was caught. "Next Up- The Rainbooms" Celestia called. The band was divided more than ever, and playing "Awesome As I Wanna Be" was horrific. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=f6H6TgZodPI *** "The Band that will be joining the Dazzlings tonight... The Rainbooms!" Celestia said. "WHAT!?" Trixie shouted. Even the Rainbooms themselves were surprised. "Did she just say the Rainbooms!?" Pinkie Pie asked. "THIS. IS NOT OVER!" Trixie said, gritting her teeth as she walked away. And none of the other bands were happy. "THIS IS A TRAVESTY! A TRAVESTY!" Trixie shouted. "It's such a shame, isn't it?" Adagio asked. "Yes, they were chosen instead of you- Who did much better in the Semifinals and wanted it more." Aria said. "Now it's going to be Dazzlings and Rainbooms." Adagio said. "Unless the Rainbooms somehow don't make it to the final show!" Sonata said. And Trixie had the best idea. *** Now the group were at the place where the final showdown would occur tonight. "Good thing you made it in... Though I'm confused as to how." Gohan said. "This doesn't make any sense! We were awful! Doesn't it seem strange to any of you that we made it into the finals?" Fluttershy asked. "Very strange." Trixie said, standing in front of them with her goons. "What are YOU doing here, Trixie? Pretty sure the losers are supposed to be up there in the cheap seats." Rainbow Dash sneered, pointing at the seats. "The Great and Powerful Trixie is the most talented girl at Canterlot High! It is I! Who deserves to be in the finals! And I will NOT be denied!" Trixie said, motioning for her goons to flip the switch. The floor opened up underneath them... All the girls fell! Gohan remained floating. And now he was pissed off. "Trixie." He said, much to her surprise. "Y-You're flying...?" Trixie asked. "You better get them back up here, or else... Let's just say, either way, you won't be performing." Gohan said, unsheathing his sword. Trixie was so scared that she did just that. *** "My gosh, Trixie was SO desperate." Pinkie Pie said. "Man, you saved our bacon, Gohan." Rainbow Dash said. "Well... I guess." Gohan said: They were back on the stage. From afar, the Dazzlings watched. "Curse that boy!" Adagio said. "We screwed up by making THEM win, Adagio." Aria said. "Oh, don't worry. We can still prevent them from beating us. They're very close to being divided." Adagio said. "And we can just control the principals." Sonata said. "Ah. I see what you mean." Aria said, giggling afterwards. *** The principals and the Dazzlings came onstage. "Hello Principal Celestia. Hello Vice Principal Luna." The Rainbooms said. "Hello. I believe we have an announcement to make." Celestia said. "We will turn this Battle of the Bands into a REAL battle!" Luna said. "Huh?" The Rainbooms asked. "We will have the two bands perform at the same time!" Celestia said joyfully. "What!?" Everyone but the Dazzlings and principals asked. "Yes, but the Dazzlings will have the stage. You will need to perform somewhere else." Luna said. "What!? That's not fair!" Rainbow Dash retorted. "No offense, but that really isn't fair!" Applejack said. "If you have a problem with it, maybe you should be disqualified from the Battle of the Bands." Celestia said. The students couldn't respond. "Good." Celestia said. "B-But how will we perform?" Fluttershy asked. "I suppose you'll have to figure it out, Rainbooms." Luna said as the two walked away. "You three aren't getting away with this." Gohan said. "And you have no means of defeating us." Adagio said before the Dazzlings laughed. "If it comes to it, you'll regret facing me." Gohan stated grimly. "Don't make us laugh." Aria said. "If worst comes to worst... You'll just have to see." Gohan said. *** Now the group were back at Sweet Apple Acres, in the garage. They were getting ready for their show. However, there were disputes and problems. The first problem being- How are they going to perform!? "We can't play over the Dazzlings when they have a speaker and we don't!" Rainbow Dash said. "It's pointless... We don't have time, and I don't think the counter spell will work anyway." Twilight said. "Of course it will, Twilight. Only if a certain band member didn't try to hog the spotlight every time we tried to play it!" Applejack sneered. "Hey, if you want to tell Twilight she's getting a little too caught up being the leader of this band- You don't have to be all cryptic about it!" Rainbow Dash retorted. "She was TALKING about YOU Rainbow Dash!" Rarity said. "Me!? I'm just trying to make sure MY band rocks as hard as it needs to!" Rainbow Dash bragged. "OUR BAND!" Applejack and Rarity yelled. Twilight sat in the corner. "But why isn't it working!? I should know what to do- How could I not know what to do- How could I have failed like this..." Twilight moped. "Don't say that... You might have to look at it from a different angle." Gohan reassured. Sunset Shimmer watched in horror as her friends were being torn apart. "It may have been your idea to start a band, but it's NOT just YOUR band Rainbow Dash!" Applejack yelled. "I'm the one who writes all the songs!" Rainbow Dash retorted. "I WRITE songs! You just don't let us PLAY any of them!" Fluttershy joined. "I just had THE most perfect outfits for us to wear!" Rarity added. "AGAIN WITH THE COSTUMES! No one cares what we're wearing!" Applejack yelled. "I CARE, Applejack! So sorry that I'm trying to make a creative contribution to the BAND!" Rarity retorted. "HEY!" Pinkie Pie screamed, appearing out of nowhere. "Anybody here remember fun!? I'LL GIVE YOU A HINT- ITS THE EXACT OPPOSITE IF BEING IN THE RAINBOOMS!" Pinkie Pie screamed. "I wish I never asked ANY of you to be in my band!" Rainbow Dash screamed. "I WISH I NEVER AGREED TO BE IN IT!" Rarity retorted. "Me neither!" Applejack and Fluttershy added. They kept arguing and arguing. "Stop fighting!" Gohan shouted. "Buzz off, this doesn't concern the likes of you!" Rainbow Dash yelled. "This arguing isn't going to help us!" Gohan said. But they just went back to arguing. Gohan gave up, and sat down beside Twilight. If they didn't do anything about the Dazzlings- He'd step in. Last second always works. They didn't know it, but their arguing was giving the Dazzlings power from afar. Sunset Shimmer realized this. "Stop! You have to stop! This is what they've been after all along! They're feeding off of the magic inside you!" Sunset Shimmer shouted. "How can they be using our magic? It's the magic of Friendship!" Applejack said. Sunset Shimmer looked back at Twilight. "Ever since you've started this band, you've let little things get to you. I never said anything because I never feel like it's my place. Especially when I'm new to this whole friendship thing. I still have a lot to learn, but I've learned that if you don't work out the smallest problems from the start, the magic of Friendship can be turned into something else!" Sunset Shimmer said. Twilight had an epiphany. She walked over to Sunset Shimmer. "I can't believe all this tension was happening under my nose and I didn't realize it... I'm the one who's supposed to have all the answers, and all I've done is let you down..." she said. Sunset Shimmer put her hand on Twilight's shoulder. "I don't think anyone's supposed to have all the answers, but you can count on your friends to find them." Sunset Shimmer said. Her friends were now... Happy? "I think you already have. Come on, we need to find a way to defeat the Dazzlings in a showdown!" Twilight said. "Yeah!" Everyone else said. "There's only one- I mean, two ways to stop the Sirens now!" Twilight said. "We're getting the band back together?" Pinkie Pie asked. "We're getting OUR band back together." Rainbow Dash said. Pinkie Pie squealed. Gohan stood up. "Now we're talking!" He said. "Yeah... Sorry I yelled so much. I didn't realize you were just trying to help." Rainbow Dash said. "Same here." Applejack said. "I apologize as well." Rarity said. "Let's all group hug?" Gohan asked. Everyone got into a group hug, even Spike. Then it broke. "Oh! Which version of the counter spell are we going to play?" Rarity asked. "I don't think it matters what song we play! As long as we play it together, as friends!" Twilight said. "I know just the song!" Rainbow Dash said. Now the others were doubting her. "Fluttershy's written a really great one." Rainbow Dash said, making Fluttershy super happy and squeal. "We're about to save the world here. Personally, I think we should do it in style. Rarity?" Applejack asked. "I thought you'd never ask!" Rarity said, pulling out a rack of clothes. "We need to find someone who isn't affected by the Dazzlings' spell. Also, who has loud speakers and stuff like that." Sunset Shimmer said. Rainbow Dash snapped her fingers. "I got it! I think Vinyl Scratch hasn't been affected!" She said. "You mean the DJ?" Pinkie Pie asked. "Think about it, she didn't participate in the Battle of the Bands! She creates music, she must be alright!" Rainbow Dash said. "That's great! We just need to find her!" Gohan said. "We only have about an hour before the big show. "Yeah, let me just give her a call." Rainbow Dash said. *** The Dazzlings began to play their song in front of the entire school. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=rjmsThcOGTQ As they sang, they gradually floated with the magic they gained. "Welcome to show~... We're here to let you know..." Adagio sang. "Our time is now... Your time is running out..." She sang. From afar, atop a hill, the Rainbooms stood. Vinyl Scratch brought her car that turned into a DJ station, as per their request. "Feel the wave of sound... As it crashes down!" The Dazzlings sang, and the sound actually crashed down. The sound that crashed down actually got the people to stop from turning away. "You can turn away, we'll make you want to stay~!" They sang. They kept floating up and a red aura appeared around them. They grew their Siren parts, such as the ears and wings. Their power levels rose! "We will be adored! You tell us that you want us, we won't be ignored! It's time for our reward! Now you need us, come and heed us! Nothing can stop us NOW!" They sang. Then, the sounds of drums could be heard. Then the Rainbooms started to perform at the same time! "I've got the music in me!" They sang. "Don't need to hear a crowd, cheering out my name!" Twilight sang. The Rainbooms managed to actually get the crowd out of their trancelike state. "I didn't come here seeking infamy of fame!" She sang. "The one and only thing! That I am here to bring is music, is the music! Is the music in my soul! Gonna break out, AH!" The Rainbooms sang. They attained their pony ears, tails, and/or wings! "Set myself free~ yeah! Let it all go, GO! Just let it be~, yeah! Find music in your heart, let music let you set, yourself, apart~!" They sang, as they all floated. "So the Rainbooms want to turn this into a REAL Battle of the Bands? Then let's battle." Adagio said. "What we have in store, only want it more!" The Dazzlings sang, putting the audience back under their spell. "We will break on through, NOW IT'S TIME TO FINISH YOU!" They sang, as their eyes and necklaces glowed a bright red. The Dazzlings were able to reveal their true forms- As Sirens! Their human forms were onstage, but the Sirens were roaming freely! Each one had a red glow around them. The Rainbooms were surprised about this sudden transformation! The Sirens Aria and Sonata dived in towards the Rainbooms. Gohan jumped in front, unleashing a barrage of ki blasts! Now they only flew around the Rainbooms. The Rainbooms were seemingly trapped, but the magic of Friendship wasn't ready to lose yet! Vinyl Scratch raised the volume to max, and Pinkie Pie started banging on the drums. The rest of the band played, and the sounds of magic were enough to move the Sirens away! Each instrument created magic that was able to attack the Sirens. Rarity using diamond magic, Rainbow Dash with red lightning magic, Fluttershy with pink butterfly magic, Applejack with apple magic, Pinkie Pie with balloon magic, and Twilight with just magic magic. The Sirens responded to this barrage of magic with their voices. The Sirens were too strong, and quickly overpowered the Rainbooms. Each of the Rainbooms fell... The microphone fell to Sunset Shimmer's feet. Sunset Shimmer picked it up. "I'll hold them off!" Gohan yelled as he jumped up at the Sirens. The Sirens were ready to finish them off with their powerful voices. Gohan kicked each of the Sirens away before they could do something. The Sirens all charged at Gohan, who flew upwards to make them crash into each other. He threw a barrage of ki blasts from above. The Rainbooms were struggling to get up after such a blow. "Sunset Shimmer, we need you!" Twilight shouted. Sunset Shimmer hesitated for a moment, but finally made a decision. She walked in front of the Rainbooms and took off her coat, which revealed her dress. Vinyl Scratch put on a beat for her. Gohan flew back down to the Rainbooms and managed to keep the Sirens away with a ki barrier. "You're never gonna bring me down! You're never gonna break this part of me! My friends are gonna bring me 'round, not singing just for popularity!" Sunset Shimmer sang. She helped Twilight get back up on her feet. Then, they sang together! "We're here to let you know, that we won't let it go, our music is a bomb and it's about to blow! And you can try to fight, but we have the light of Friendship on our side!" They sang, and the band started to play again! The Sirens dived towards the band. "Got the music in our hearts... Gonna blow this thing apart!" They sang, creating a rainbow shockwave strong enough to repel the Sirens. It was even enough to knock the crowd out of their trancelike state! "And together! We will never! Be afraid of the dark!" The whole band sang. Gohan flew after them and began to pummel each of the Sirens, removing their option of escape. "Here to sing our song out loud!" They sang, as Sunset Shimmer attained her pony ears and tail! "Gets you dancing with the crowd! As the music... Of our friendship... Survives, Survives!" They sang. The Rainbooms began to float once again. "Got the music in our hearts! Here to blow this thing apart! And together, we will never, be afraid of the dark!" They sang, as the magic of Friendship formed a rainbow that formed a spiritual alicorn. Gohan flew up beside it, and began charging his Kamehameha. Just to make sure. "Here to sing our song out loud! Gets you dancing in the crowd!" Everyone, even the audience sang. "As the music, of our friendship... Survives, Survives, survives!" Everyone sang. The alicorn shot Rainbow magic at the Sirens. "Kamehameha!" He yelled as he fired his Kamehameha ONLY at the Sirens, not the Dazzlings. The Dazzlings' necklaces were all destroyed along with the Sirens. An explosion of blue and rainbows could be seen from afar. The Dazzlings lost their powers... And their voices. In a last ditch effort, they sang. "We will be adored!" They sang with broken voices. "Tell us that you want us, we won't be ignored!" They sang with broken voices. The crowd booed. Gohan appeared in front of them with an angry face. The trio were fearful for their lives. "Leave." He said. The crowd began to throw food and trash at the Dazzlings, getting them offstage. The Rainbooms all went onstage. Sunset Shimmer inspected the broken necklaces. "Guess that explains why these were so special to them." Sunset Shimmer said. "Without those pendants and the magic you brought here from Equestria, they're just three harmless teenage girls!" Twilight said. Gohan chuckled at harmless. "Rainbooms rule!" Flash yelled from afar. Flash ran up to Twilight and hugged her. "That was amazing!" He exclaimed. Twilight blushed. The other girls and boy giggled in response. Flash also blushed as they looked into each other's eyes. Then Trixie appeared out of nowhere. "You may have defeated the Dazzlings, but you don't have the ability to stand against the Great and Powerful Trixie!" She yelled before throwing down a smokescreen. As the smoke died down, she disappeared. "She's GONE!... Oh wait, there she is." Pinkie Pie said, pointing at the bleachers. Trixie was trying to jump over the bleachers, and fell down to the ground. "Trixie is okay!" She said. "You know, Twilight is going back to Equestria soon. The Rainbooms could really use someone to help Fluttershy with backup vocals." Rainbow Dash said. Sunset Shimmer smiled, and picked up a nearby guitar. She played it expertly, much to everyone's surprise. "I also play guitar!" She said. Even Rainbow Dash, who quickly regained her composure. "We'll see." Rainbow Dash said. And everyone got into a group hug with Sunset Shimmer. "And Gohan's gonna train us tomorrow!" Rainbow Dash added. Gohan nodded. "This won't be a walk in the park, you two." He said. *** The next day, Twilight was leaving. Gohan would be staying for a tad longer. "Really wish you could stay longer." Applejack said. "Me too, but I have responsibilities in Equestria that I have to get back to." Twilight said. Pinkie Pie poked her head into the portal. "It's citizens need me." Twilight said. Pinkie Pie pulled her head out with a crazed look. "Now, I can go through the portal whenever I need to. This isn't goodbye- It's just goodbye until next time." Twilight said. "And this guy's coming almost everyday!" Rainbow Dash said, nudging Gohan. "As much as I can at approximately 3:00." Gohan said. "And training will start pretty soon!" Pinkie Pie said. "Why don't we watch how Gohan's teaches Rainbow Dash and Pinkie?" Applejack asked. Everyone else nodded. "Okay, ready Spike?" Twilight asked. "Ready! Hey, bring back something for us Gohan!" Spike said. Gohan chuckled. "If I can manage to get one with no money." He said. Everyone laughed. "And I'm coming back in a few hours anyway." He added. Twilight and Spike entered the portal. "Alright! Now let's get to training!" Rainbow Dash said. "Heh, alright." Gohan said. Author's Note Next Chapter's the training session. I wasn't really happy with this one, but this is the best version I can come up with. Everything else made no sense or was too rushed or both. Training SessionGohan, Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie were in the soccer field. The other friends were on the bleachers. "So when do we learn how to fly?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Once you can master ki control. Before that, you must have an extremely sound mind. So, that means Pinkie needs some extra training." Gohan said. "Hey!" Pinkie Pie said. Rainbow Dash laughed. "That doesn't mean you're off the hook either, Rainbow. You require discipline, you don't have a nice attitude." Gohan said. "Ugh... I guess." Rainbow Dash said. "We will train physically and mentally as much as we can. I will push both of you past your limits." Gohan said. "To be honest, I would be a lot more comfortable saying it's easy, but with you it's completely different." Rainbow Dash said. "Yeah, I know why." Gohan said. "When are we gonna start this thing!?" Pinkie Pie whined. "Now. First, posture! Without proper body posture, your movements are considerably sluggish. Straight backs and no fidgeting!" Gohan ordered. His sudden loud voice scared the students, and they instantly had their backs straight with their hands on their sides. "You're shaking, just relax." Gohan said in a calmer voice. "Well, your loud voice isn't really helping us!" Rainbow Dash retorted. "How else am I supposed to discipline you? Say I'll give you cotton candy if you don't mess up?" Gohan joked. "Ooh, I'd love that." Pinkie Pie said. "Alright, silence." Gohan said. "Wait, I need to check my phone." Rainbow Dash said, reaching into her pocket. "No." Gohan said. She stopped. "Why?" She asked. "If you have time for your phone right now, then you don't have time for my teachings." Gohan said. Rainbow Dash put her hand on her side. "Jeez, you don't have to be so serious about it." She said. "Hush!" Gohan shouted, getting the two back into serious mode. "We will begin with basic exercises, then meditation, then we will practice basic fighting for today." He said. "What about the blasts and flying?" Pinkie Pie asked. "You are not ready yet." Gohan said. "How did you do it, then?" Rainbow Dash asked. "First through rage, then I learned how easy it is to control and channel it at will." Gohan said. "Now then, let's run around the soccer field fifteen times!" He added with glee. Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie groaned. "That's not enough? Okay, we'll make it twenty." Gohan said. "What!?" Rainbow Dash asked. "You want more? Twenty-five it is." Gohan said. "But-" "Do I hear thirty?" He interrupted Pinkie Pie. Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie began to run to the side of the field. And Gohan ran at the same pace. Twenty-five laps. After only two laps, Gohan changed the course. "We're running backwards now!" Gohan said, turning and running backwards. Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie whined. "Don't be complaining!" Applejack yelled as they passed. "I don't think you can handle it if you were doing it." Rarity said. "To be honest, I don't know either." Applejack said. "Nobody can do 10,000 one arm push-ups with each arm everyday other than him." Sunset Shimmer said. "Are we lucky to have Gohan or what?" Fluttershy asked. "Yep!" Applejack, Rarity, and Sunset Shimmer said. "He's saved us from Sunset Shimmer when she was a demon, no offense." Applejack said. "None taken. He forgave me right on the spot soon after you guys beat me. I thought he was gonna murder me when we were in that hole!" Sunset Shimmer said. "He and Twilight brought us back together, it's great." Fluttershy said. The three runners passed the bleachers. "Let's go!" Sunset Shimmer yelled, clapping her hands. "Yee-haw!" Applejack yelled. Pinkie Pie was panting. "You giving up yet!?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Not yet!" Pinkie Pie said, pulling jellybeans out of her hair and eating it. "Stop talking! You lose more stamina that way! And sugar isn't going to help out in the long run, Pinkie!" Gohan said. "Whee!" Pinkie Pie yelled as she went maximum overdrive, passing the other two. Gohan and Rainbow Dash caught up very easily. They passed three more laps before Gohan changed the course again. "Back to running forward!" Gohan said. The two students groaned as they heard this. "How much is he making them do?" Applejack asked. "Usually Rainbow Dash makes the students do about five laps. What, did Gohan make them do twenty-five?" Sunset Shimmer asked. As the three passed by, Gohan said: "They're doing twenty-five!" He shouted. "Uh... Lucky guess?" Rarity asked. "I can't imagine doing that..." Fluttershy said. "I thought of joining this thing but that's WAY too much!" Sunset Shimmer said. "No wonder he wanted to do farm work." Applejack said. "He's a rather weird fellow." Rarity said. "Agreed." The others said. Pinkie Pie collapsed at the ninth lap. Then Rainbow Dash at eleven. Coincidentally, she fell beside Pinkie Pie. "Alright. Take five." Gohan said. His students coughed in response. *** "Alright, now we're going to do push-ups, sit-ups, and maybe drink plenty of juice right after." Gohan said. "Got it. Hey Applejack! Get us some apple cider!" Rainbow Dash yelled towards the bleachers. Applejack held a thumbs up as she left. "Alright, on the ground, as many push-ups as you can." Gohan said. Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie started doing push-ups. And they started to slow down around the 30 mark. Pinkie Pie fell flat on her face at 39, and Rainbow Dash at 45. "You two are doing a lot better than I initially thought." Gohan reassured. "Dang it! This is hard!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed. "Just wait until I get weighted clothing for you." Gohan said. "I am NOT wearing 1000 kilograms!" Rainbow Dash retorted. "No, you will only wear a shirt that's 100 pounds. If you'd like more, you're going to ask." Gohan said. "Maybe later." Pinkie Pie said. "So! Are we ready to do sit-ups?" Gohan asked. Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie groaned in response. "Ugh. Fine, we'll skip it for today." Gohan said. "Alright!" Rainbow Dash said. "Applejack's coming with your drinks." Gohan said. Pinkie Pie got herself up. "Looks like she brought company!" She said. Applejack was approaching the three with a very well known trio. "Here's the case of fizzy apple cider, I ran into some people we know." Applejack said, placing the case down. "Yeah! We want to see the kid who beat Sunset Shimmer at the Fall Formal!" Sweetie Belle said. "You're seeing him." Gohan said, smiling. "We're seeing him again!" Scootaloo squealed while her two friends giggled with her. "Uh.... What?" Gohan asked. "I think some people have a crush." Applejack joked. 'Oh. Crapbaskets.' Gohan thought. "S-Sis! I don't!" Applebloom retorted, blushing. "Y-Yeah! We just think he's cool!" Scootaloo said, blushing. Even Sweetie Belle blushed. "Cooler than me, apparently." Rainbow Dash said, standing up. "What? No way." Scootaloo said. "He's stronger, faster and much cooler than me." Rainbow Dash said with a smirk. Gohan laughed awkwardly and rubbed the back of his head. "That's an overstatement..." He said. *** Meditation. You can only imagine how horrible his two students did. Gohan, Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie were sitting in the middle of the field. "This is boring!" Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie complained. "This is really helpful if you want to be a martial artist. It relieves stress and helps you in many other ways." Gohan said, trying to meditate. "But trying to listen to my breathing is boring!" Rainbow Dash said. Gohan sighed. "Fine. We'll skip to the martial arts." He said, standing up. "Yeah!" Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie cheered as they jumped up. "The only way I can know what you know is if you two try to hit me." Gohan said. "You want us to double team you?" Pinkie Pie asked. "Yeah, I won't be fighting back. Give me your best shots!" Gohan said. "Alright, this might be easy." Rainbow Dash said. The two nodded to each other before they dashed forward and threw many horrible attacks. And their coordination was terrible! Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie occasionally shoved each other so that they could get a single attempt at Gohan themselves. Gohan was dodging effortlessly, as they kept throwing heavy attacks and shoved each other. "Okay, stop!" Gohan said. Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie were panting. "Okay, your coordination is horrific. You two kept shoving each other to have a go single-handedly. Second, you both put way too much force into your attacks. It leaves you two WIDE open." Gohan said. "So we can't be a team?" Rainbow Dash asked. "You can, but I don't think you will find coordination with Pinkie very easily. Perhaps another person would make coordination much easier, but right now it's going to require a lot of work." Gohan said. "Maybe we should have our friends join us." Rainbow Dash said. "If they're willing to..." Gohan said. "How would YOU do attacks?" Pinkie Pie asked. "Swift and strong attacks but not too forceful. I could punch through somebody if I went full force, but the odds of me actually landing that are slim, including the fact that my opponent could punish me for doing something reckless." Gohan said. "There's a lot more to fighting than I thought." Rainbow Dash said. "My brain and body hurts!" Pinkie Pie said. "Well, I guess that's enough for today." Gohan said. "So you're leaving?" Rainbow Dash asked. "If you're going to play another song, I'll gladly stay for that then leave." Gohan said. "Let's go talk with the others about that." Rainbow Dash said. The three walked over to the bleachers. "So, how was the first session?" Rarity asked. "They went beyond my expectations with the exercises, but did horrible in meditation and martial arts." Gohan said. "Maybe we should join." Sunset Shimmer said. "That might do us well." Rarity said. "I'm totally up!" Applejack said. "No!" The Crusaders said. "Oh... I don't know..." Fluttershy said. "Come on, Fluttershy! Don't be a scaredy cat!" Rainbow Dash said. "You don't have to if you really don't want to." Gohan said. "Um... I guess I should join..." Fluttershy said. "If it's too much for any of you, you can quit anytime." Gohan said. Fluttershy sighed in relief. "So, Gohan wants to hear another one of our songs before he leaves!" Rainbow Dash said. "That sounds good!" Fluttershy said. "We do have Sunset Shimmer too!" Pinkie Pie said. "Then...?" Gohan asked. "We'll do it." Applejack said. "We're leaving, bye!" Scootaloo said, walking away with Applebloom and Sweetie Belle. *** The Rainbooms were back onstage, with Gohan in the seats. Even Vinyl Scratch was there for sound equipment. They were prepping for their song, while Sunset Shimmer wrote to Princess Twilight. "Dear Princess Twilight, Missing you already. I hope you'll be back soon. I know Gohan's going to visit often, and he's actually going to make me his student! Things are definitely looking up for me here at Canterlot High. I know I still have a lot to learn about friendship, I hope you don't mind when I write to you about advice when I need it. Your friend, Sunset Shimmer" She wrote in her book. "You ready or what?" Rainbow Dash asked. Sunset Shimmer ran up with her guitar. "Ready!" She said. "Go Rainbooms!" Gohan cheered. Pinkie Pie hit her drumsticks together while counting. "1! 2! 3! 4!" https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=oEm4kUJW_fs *** A very familiar person was running tests, and happened to have a bulletin board full of stuff linked to CHS. "No doubt about it, Spike. There's definitely something strange going on at that school." This world's Twilight said. Spike barked in response. *** Goku just Instant Transmissioned to King Kai's new planet. "Goku... I think you'll find this interesting about the new world your son traveled to." King Kai said. "Uh! King Kai! We have a problem!" Goku said. He was in his Super Saiyan form, and.... Incredibly injured. "Aah! You brought him here!?" King Kai yelled. "You won't get away with this... My son will stop you!" Goku yelled. The creature stabbed Goku in the chest with some sort of blade. Goku coughed blood. With his other hand, he held a powerful yellow/black blast. "I don't have time for this. I'll squish you like a bug." He said, before ultimately destroying Goku's soul... The Cutie MapIt was another day in Ponyville. The Mane 6 and Gohan were at the castle, where they sat on their respective thrones. "Let's go through this one more time." Twilight said. Rainbow Dash facehoofed. "Ugh! We've been through this, like, a million times! We found all six keys and found this sweet castle! End of story!" She said. "Didn't you also return everyone's magic?" Gohan asked. "Yeah, that too." She responded. "Yes, but why?" Twilight said. "I don't know, sugarcube. Maybe it's because, it's your house! Ain't nothing more to it than that." Applejack said. "I must say, speaking strictly on this stead is all so simply divine!" Rarity said. "I agree with Twilight! And Rarity, and Applejack, and Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie and Gohan. Oh, and probably Spike!" Fluttershy said. Spike was napping in his chair. "As princess, I've been chosen to spread the magic of Friendship across Equestria. So why would the Tree set a castle in Ponyville? It doesn't make any sense!" Twilight said, as she got on her throne. Since each person and pony was on the thrones, the marks on the chairs lit up. After spawning many crystals, a table was created in the middle. Really, a map of Equestria. Spike woke up. "Uh... Is that new?" He asked. "I like it!" He said. Everyone looked in awe. Spike walked across the table. "This is incredible! It's got all of Equestria!" Spike said. Pinkie Pie stared at her rock farm. "Hi mom and dad!" She said. Then Spike stepped on it, making Pinkie Pie sad. But, everyone realized their cutie mark and a person's name in kanji was glowing. The kanji '孫悟飯' was glowing yellow. The glows then traveled up to the ceiling, where each of them circled around Twilight's cutie mark. The seven then traveled across the map to a random place that was not Ponyville. "But... If this is Ponyville, why are our cutie marks over there?" Fluttershy asked. "I don't know, but it seems like the map wants us to find out! The tree, the chest, this castle, and now the map! How can we not follow it?" Twilight asked. "You know what? There's a TON of room for dangerous adventure on route. So count me in!" Rainbow Dash said. "Ah, shoot. I reckon' you're right." Applejack said. "Well, I was planning on organizing my baking sheets, but OKAY!" Pinkie Pie said. "Very well." Rarity said. "Danger...? As long as none of you TRY to get hurt." Gohan said. Then everyone looked to Fluttershy on her opinion. Or, stared. "Uh, maybe I'll just stay here with Spike." Fluttershy said. "Sweet!" Spike said, wearing a helmet with liquid gems he could drink and a #1 glove. "Big Mac and I have a huge weekend ahead of us talking hoofball, and trading hoofball cards, arguing about hoofball stats..." He went on. Fluttershy was not interested. "Um, on second thought, maybe I should go. Just in case anyone needs me!" She said. "Looks like it's time for a road trip!" Twilight said. Everyone got off the thrones and started to walk towards the train station. *** The train ride was pretty casual. Gohan was testing out a new way to practice ki. He was trying to use Instant Transmission, like his father. It proved to be VERY difficult. Gohan tried it without the fingers to his forehead at first, but he later realized that the fingers would help him focus on ki that is much farther away than usual. But that didn't change the fact that he couldn't teleport to those locations. "What are you trying to do?" Rainbow Dash asked. "I'm trying to use Instant Transmission, but I'm having trouble on how to teleport to various locations." Gohan said, putting his two fingers down. "Sounds awesome." Rainbow Dash said. "How does that work?" Twilight asked. "Let's see... I know that I need to sense a form of life in any location. Putting my fingers to my forehead makes it a lot easier to concentrate, and enhances the ability for me. But I just don't know how my dad was able to teleport to places such as the afterlife despite not being dead." Gohan explained. "So you can just visit your dad if you learned Instant Transmission?" Pinkie Pie asked. "Not quite. I can't sense my dad's energy. I theorize that the afterlife is a different place and an entirely different plane of existence. You can't see ponies who died unless they had permission. My dad is somehow able to access it without dying. Maybe it's because he had died before, but it's strange." Gohan said. "How far can Instant Transmission go?" Twilight asked. "Across galaxies, that's for sure." Gohan said. "W-What!?" Twilight asked. "So can you use this awesome super speed move in battle?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Yes. But it's not super speed, it's instant. I could teleport in front of or behind my opponent. Or anywhere around. Unless I can't sense their life energy, which would happen if you happen to be a cyborg or a robot." Gohan said. "Sounds useful." Applejack said. *** The train finally arrived at it destination. Where there was no train station. Instead, the seven had to traverse the land from there. Going from the desert, crossing bridges and mountains, and they finally found their destination. "There it is! That's the place on the map!" Twilight said. "Right! Let's get down there and find the spas!" Rarity said, trotting towards the town. Twilight teleported in front of her, stopping her. "Wait! We don't know WHY the map sent us here. We shouldn't just walk right in, it could be dangerous!" She said. "Yes!" Rainbow Dash said. Then Pinkie Pie dashed in front of the group. "Stay back everypony! I'm on it." She said with a serious face. "Careful, Pinkie!" Applejack said. Pinkie Pie rolled down the crevice and behind a rock like a ninja. She hid under various rocks, motioning for her friends to come until she went under one too heavy and it fell on her. Hilariously, she was still moving with the rock. Gohan lifted it off her and placed it beside her. Everyone looked at the town more closely. "This is where the map sent us? Looks like the most boring place in Equestria." Rainbow Dash said. The town was rather small, but it was just an ordinary village. And the ponies seemed a little... Too happy. And they all had the same cutie mark... An equal sign. "It could use a few architectural flourishes. I mean, many architectural flourishes." Rarity said. "I think it's lovely." Fluttershy said. "Everyone seems to be forcing a smile." Gohan said. "I don't like it, I don't like it one bit! I know smiles. And those smiles? They're just not right." Pinkie Pie said. "Forget the smiles, look at their cutie marks!" Twilight said. "Okay, that's weird." Rainbow Dash said. "An entire village with the same cutie mark? How can that be?" Twilight asked. "I bet there's some horrific monster behind it!" Rainbow Dash said. "Why would you say that?" Twilight asked. "Because fighting a horrific monster would be super awesome!" Rainbow Dash said. "No it would not! I should know!" Gohan said. "Come on, I want to test my training!" Rainbow Dash said. "Do that while not risking your own life." Gohan said. "Fine." Rainbow Dash said, crossing her forehooves. "Maybe there's a unicorn or alicorn so powerful that he or she made everyone's cutie marks the same." Gohan joked. "That's funny." Twilight laughed. "I reckon' we just head into town and talk to some locals. Find out what's going on." Applejack said. "Great idea AJ! Let's go!" Rainbow Dash said, flying off. Everyone followed. "Those smiles are bad news!" Pinkie Pie noted. As they entered the town, they were greeted by plenty of "Welcome!"s. "This must be the most pleasant place in Equestria!" Fluttershy said. "Not to be rude, but they're kind of creeping me out with their smiles." Gohan said. "Ugh, thanks a lot, map." Rainbow Dash said. A unicorn stallion trotted up to the seven. He had a blue mane and a turquoise coat with blue eyes. "Welcome! Sorry for my forwardness, but are you an alicorn?" He asked. Twilight smiled awkwardly. "That there is the Princess of Friendship." Applejack said. "Well you've certainly come to the right place for 'friendship!'" He said. Another earth pony stallion approached. He had a white mane and a white coat with blue eyes. "What brings you to town?" He asked. Gohan was getting even more uncomfortable with the smiles. "We're not entirely sure." Twilight said. "I see! Well, all are welcome here in our little village! My name is Double Diamond and this is Party Favor!" Double Diamond, the white pony said. "Hi there Double Diamond, I'm Applejack, this here's Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Twilight Sparkle and Gohan." Applejack said, pointing her hoof at everyone. "Ooh! You're not a pony!" Party Favor said. "Yes... I'm not." Gohan said. "And all the ponies have their unique cutie marks!" Double Diamond said. "If you don't mind me asking, has there been any sort of, trouble here lately?" Twilight asked. "Trouble? Why, I don't think we've ever had trouble in our little village!" Double Diamond said. "It's true! You'll see!" Party Favor said. "Perhaps you'd like to speak to our founder, Starlight Glimmer!" Double Diamond said, leading the way to this Starlight Glimmer. "I wish everypony in Equestria are as friendly as these ponies are!" Fluttershy said. "The friendliness seems really forced, and it feels like they're not actually happy..." Gohan whispered. "I've got my eye on them! Something's rotten in... Whatever the name of the village is right now!" Pinkie Pie said. The two stallions opened the door to Starlight Glimmer's place. "Starlight Glimmer? We have a few visitors!" They said. Everyone entered, and inspected the room. "Be ready to fight! You don't know what's going to come through that door!" Rainbow Dash said. "Calm down, there's no threat." Gohan said. Then Starlight Glimmer came through the door in the room. She was a unicorn. "Welcome! I'm so pleased to have you here!" Starlight Glimmer said. Rainbow Dash groaned. "This is Applejack, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Gohan and Twilight Sparkle!" Double Diamond said. Starlight Glimmer inspected the alicorn and Saiyan. "Forgive my bluntness, but I assume it is Princess Twilight Sparkle? We don't get many alicorns around here." Starlight said. "Yes. But Twilight is fine." Twilight said. "And you... Aren't you the one who defeated Discord and Tirek?" Starlight asked, pointing a hoof at Gohan. "Uh, yes ma'am." Gohan said. "We don't have any of your kind here in Equestria." Starlight said. "...I have made the distinction." Gohan said. "So! How did you hear of our little village!?" Starlight asked. "It's kind of a long story. Let's just say we found it on a map!" Twilight said. "Technically it's a tree chest castle map!" Pinkie Pie said with a smile before changing it back to an angry one. "Well, however you found us, we're happy to have you! We're happy to have anypony who wants to experience TRUE friendship for the first time!" Starlight said. Applejack had an unamused face, while everyone had a confused look. "Say what?" Applejack asked. "Oh indeed, that's what's so unique about our village, you see. Around here, we don't flaunt our special talents because we don't have any special talents to flaunt!" Starlight said. "That sounds absurd, everypony has a special talent!" Gohan said. "Is that why you all have those cutie marks?" Twilight asked. "Perhaps it'll be easier to understand if I gave you a tour of our village!" Starlight said. Gohan and Pinkie Pie were not buying this 'true friendship' nonsense. *** The town really creeped the seven out. Apparently they always smile, they don't compete, and they're all equal. Nobody is superior and nobody shakes in fear. Pinkie Pie and Gohan still don't buy the happiness. They even want the seven to join the 'utopia.' Rainbow Dash burst into laughter. "You're kidding, right? Give up our cutie marks? No way!" She said. "Rainbow Dash, don't be so rude. I don't think we should judge them. They all seem perfectly happy with their choice." Fluttershy said. "But they seem too happy." Gohan said. "Don't believe their smiles, Fluttershy!" Pinkie Pie said. "I'm sorry, I guess we're just a little confused by all this." Twilight said. "We have no judgements here in our village, each of us was confused as well. Blinded by the false promise of our cutie marks." Starlight said, and the townsfolk nodded. "Whoa, whoa, whoa, is she for real?" Rainbow Dash asked with a little bit too much enthusiasm. Gohan hushed her. "When we were sent to this village, we assumed it was to help in some way. But it seems like you don't need any help." Twilight said. "Have you considered perhaps that you might've been sent here so WE could help YOU?" Starlight asked. Twilight hadn't thought of that. "After all, nopony has ever come to our village and wanted to leave! Why should you be any different?" Starlight asked. "But that is entirely your choice! Please, enjoy our little corner of Equestria. We're all quite fond of it! No doubt you will be as well. Double Diamond, please help our guests with whatever they might need!" Starlight said. "Of course!" Double Diamond said. Starlight Glimmer began to trot away. "Well, this will certainly provide a boost to our little community! When the rest of Equestria sees that a princess and a warrior gave up their cutie marks to join us, they'll finally understand what we're trying to accomplish." She said to herself. Gohan couldn't hear it. *** The seven were walking around town again, being greeted by everyone. "A cutie mark is a representation of a pony's unique talents and skills. How is it possible to-" Rarity interrupted Twilight with a loud gasp. "What in the name of Equestria is that!?" She asked, pointing at ragged clothes. "Welcome! Care to have some of our local fashion? We got cloaks this month!" The stallion earth pony running the place said. Rarity vomited and ate her own vomit before it came out. "Uh... Perhaps another time..." She said. The seven were sitting at a table now. For a restaurant. "No wonder nopony's wearing anything!" Rarity whispered. "Major things may be differently than we're used to, but that's no reason to be rude!" Fluttershy said. "No, the reason to be 'rude' is that they all keep staring at us!" Rainbow Dash said. "And I have a hunch that they're trying to admit us to their society." Gohan said. "Need something?" Double Diamond asked from afar. "Uh, nope! We're good!" Twilight said, before turning back to the group. "Fluttershy's right. If we're going to get to the bottom of why the map sent us here, we'll need the help of these ponies!" Twilight said. A waitress trotted up to their table, but didn't say anything because of the conversation. "I think we ran off to the end of Equestria before we even knew what that map was!" Applejack said. "If we were sitting on the end of Equestria, we'd be sitting on a big A! Get it!?" Pinkie Pie asked. Gohan laughed. "Oh, please Ms. Pie and Mr. Son! This is not the time for jokes! We've come all this way and for what!?" Rarity asked. "Maybe you're right. But we're here now, and it sure feels like something's wrong." Twilight said. "That I'll bet you a cup of cider." Applejack said. "Is this a bad time?" The waitress asked. "We shouldn't be bickering about this in front of our new friends. Really, Applejack, you're just as bad as Rainbow Dash." Fluttershy said. "Don't drag me into this!" Rainbow Dash retorted. "Is your friendship ending?" The waitress asked. "Are you crazy!? We'd never get a disagreement get in the way of food!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed. "O-Okay, well, my name is Sugar Belle, what can I bring you?" Sugar Belle asked. "We have muffins." She said. Everyone looked at each other. "I guess we'll each take a single muffin." Twilight said. "Make that two!" Pinkie Pie said. "I'll take about 500." Gohan said. This surprised the waitress. "A-Are you sure!?" She asked. "Yep! It's been a while since breakfast." Gohan said so casually. The waitress walked away. The rest of the group looked at Pinkie Pie and Gohan. "What? I'm hungry!" Gohan and Pinkie Pie complained. "I'll even pay for the muffins!" Gohan said. "Well, come on guys. We have to stick together. It doesn't matter what happened before, we're here now." Twilight said. "I guess you're right. And the sooner we figure out why, the sooner we can go home." Applejack said. Then a ton of plates of muffins were set on the table. "OOH!" Gohan and Pinkie Pie said. "Forgive me for overhearing, but just a moment ago you were disagreeing. And now you're agreeing." Sugar Belle said. "Uh huh." Applejack said. "Well, you have much differing opinions, and cutie marks. Except for... Whatever that is, I can't find the cutie mark." Sugar Belle said. "I'm a half Saiyan, half human. I am not able to obtain a cutie mark, but I definitely have special talents." Gohan said. "And we have differing opinions all the time, darling." Rarity said. "But you look like you're friends!" Sugar Belle said. "We are friends! A simple disagreement wouldn't change that." Twilight said. Double Diamond overheard this. "I'm sorry, I'm just having a hard time understanding." Sugar Belle said before her face was suddenly serious. "Different talents lead to different opinions which lead to bitterness and misery. So... Why aren't you bitter and-" She said before Pinkie Pie spat out a muffin at her. Gohan actually didn't mind the muffins. "They're actually fine, Pinkie Pie." He said, eating a ton. "It's alright, I know I'm not a very good baker... At least, I'm not better than anypony else in the village." Sugar Belle said. She looked back to Double Diamond, who was also uncharacteristically serious. "Well, I hope you enjoy our little village!" Sugar Belle said, getting the suspicion off her from Double Diamond. Then she quickly changed. "Come inside before you go! Meet me downstairs!" She whispered, before having the forced smile and entering her abode. Gohan left eleven muffins for the rest of the ponies. "Ah. That was nice." He said. "...Okay, that was weird too." Rainbow Dash said. Twilight levitated a muffin towards herself. "Let's all eat here, and act normal. I think we're being watched." She said. "Uh, ya think?" Rainbow Dash asked. "To be honest, it quite obvious everyone is watching us." Gohan said. "No, I mean, it's pretty obvious that some ponies here don't want us talking to Sugar Belle." Twilight said, referring to Double Diamond. "I got an idea, but you gotta eat all these muffins, Pinkie." Applejack said. "Me!? Why me!? Why not Gohan?" Pinkie Pie asked. "Yeah, I mean, I like them." Gohan said. "Yeah, let's give it to him." Applejack said. "Oh boy!" Gohan said, wolfing them down. "Okay, but now that filly in there's the best chance of finding out what in the hay is going on around here." Applejack said. "We better go inside and get some more!" She said a little loudly. Then the seven entered and went downstairs. It was a little dark with only one light bulb. "Hello?" Twilight called. "Sugar Belle?" She asked. "Thank you for coming!" Sugar Belle said, emerging from the dark with a forced smile. "Why did you want us to come down here?" Twilight asked. "So nopony could see what's about to happen." Sugar Belle said. Then, two more ponies showed up. A pegasus and a unicorn. Twilight, thinking the worst, began to charge some magic before... "Are you really the Princess of Friendship?" "Do you know Princess Celestia?" Then Sugar Belle went to Pinkie Pie. "I love your cutie mark!" Then the pegasus went to Rarity and Fluttershy. "How can you be friends with different cutie marks? Don't you end up hating each other?" She asked. Then Sugar Belle went to Fluttershy. "Oh, look at this one! This one's great too! I'd love to have my special talent back even just for a day! Make something besides those disgusting muffins." Sugar Belle said, suddenly having a change of tone. "So what's stopping you? Go get your cutie marks back." Rainbow Dash said. "Daydreaming is one thing, but having them actually put back on? That seems extreme." The earth pony said. Rainbow Dash rolled her eyes. "I'm not sure Starlight would like that... She wants us all to be happy and our sameness." Sugar Belle said. "How do you take somepony's cutie mark anyway?" Twilight asked. "The cutie unmarking is a beautiful experience! Starlight uses the Staff of Sameness to magically take them away and replace them with these." The pegasus said, showing off her equal sign. "Nobody should keep you from having your own cutie mark." Gohan said. "Yeah, it represents such an important part of who you are." Twilight said. "Well, we're not kept from them. They're in the vault, up in the caves! We can visit them anytime we like to visit the heartache of a life with special talent." The pegasus said. "That sounds incredibly sad." Gohan said. "Can we visit this cave?" Twilight asked. *** Starlight Glimmer was escorting the seven to this vault. Double Diamond was behind the group. "I'm delighted you're interested in our cutie mark vault! We hope someday, everypony in Equestria will make a pilgrimage here to our little village, and to have theirs removed too! And our perfect message of-" Starlight rambled on. "This must be the reason we're here." Twilight whispered. "Pilgrimaging?" Pinkie Pie asked. "No, she might've took their cutie marks against their wills. We should get those ponies their cutie marks back." Gohan said. "Oh, are you sure Twilight? Maybe they miss them a little bit, but even they didn't seem all that unhappy." Fluttershy said. "But their happiness seems to be forced, or faked." Gohan said. "Yes, and why did they want to meet us in secret? Why did they ask us not to tell Starlight about who told us about the vault?" Twilight asked. "Something is not right." Twilight said. Then, they arrived at a cave. "Just through here!" Starlight Glimmer said, walking in. Everyone followed. "Behold!" Starlight Glimmer said. Everyone was in awe at the screen of cutie marks! There was also a table with some sort of staff. "Our cutie mark vault!" Starlight said. All sorts of cutie marks were there, such as instruments, foods, science, sports, flying, etc. "I've never seen anything like it!" Twilight said. "And here is the Staff of Sameness! It was one of the great Mage Meadowbrooks Nine Items! We are incredibly fortunate to have it here!" Starlight said. "This is the tool that allows us to free ourselves from our marks!" She said, before looking a little too weird. She quickly composed herself. "I'm curious, how did the subject of the vault come up?" Starlight asked. "Oh, some ponies were telling us how much they miss their cutie marks and-" "Pinkie!" Twilight interrupted. "Oops! Sorry!" Pinkie Pie said, covering her mouth. Starlight gasped. "Were they? Well, it seems you inspire all sorts of free thinking!" She said, approaching the Mane 6 with the staff. "Don't you." She said seriously, having a change in tone. Gohan stepped forward. "You aren't taking any more ponies' cutie marks." He said. "Oh really? Let's put that theory to the test, shall we?" Starlight asked. Suddenly, more ponies appeared! "It's a trap!" Twilight said. Gohan shot many ki blasts from his palm to only hurt, not kill them. Twilight teleported to the top of the cave to fire her magic. But, Starlight used the staff on her! She instantly took Twilight's cutie mark... Starlight looked at the mark in fascination. "No!" Gohan yelled. She put it in the vault before using it on the Mane 6. "Give them their cutie marks back!" Gohan shouted. "Why don't you also give up YOURS!?" Starlight asked, using the staff on him. Nothing had happened. "H-Huh?" Starlight asked. "I have no cutie mark, but I have a personal grudge against those who hurt my friends." Gohan said, walking up slowly to Starlight. "If you give them their cutie marks back, I won't blast you towards the sun." He said. "That won't happen!" Starlight yelled. The other ponies charged at Gohan. Gohan's ki flared and knocked them each to the wall. The Mane 6 were barely managing to get up. "Are you alright?" Gohan asked. They could barely talk. "They will know... YOU will know!" Starlight yelled, using the staff again to no avail. Gohan kicked her into the wall. He kicked her flank, and... The equal sign... Disappeared. In its place was a cutie mark. "You had your cutie mark this whole time, Starlight!" Gohan yelled, pointing at finger at Starlight. Gohan's yell could be heard from the village, prompting everyone to rush to the cave. Starlight glared at Gohan in anger and shock. The other ponies looked in shock. "How... Could you!?" Party Favor asked. "You said cutie marks were evil! You said they lead to heartache and pain!" Double Diamond said. "T-They do! D-Don't you see, look that them!" Starlight said, pointing at the weak Mane 6. The rest of the town showed up. "Y-You had your cutie mark!?" Everyone asked. "This is the horrific truth of Starlight Glimmer's idea of 'friendship!' So that she would be on top, and the rest of us would all unknowingly fall under her command." Gohan called. "W-Why? Why did you give up theirs and not your own?" Sugar Belle asked. "I... I-I HAD TO YOU FOOLS!" Starlight screamed. "How could I collect any of your cutie marks without MY magic!?" She yelled. "But the staff has all the magic we need!" The pegasus from earlier shouted. "The STAFF is a piece of wood I made in the desert! It's MY magic that makes this all possible. You'd all be living your miserable lives thinking your better than anypony else if it weren't for MY magical ability! I brought you all Friendship, I brought you all equality, I CREATED HARMONY!" Starlight screamed. The Mane 6 stood tall. "You LIED to us!" Double Diamond shouted. "So what? Everything else I said is true! The only way to be happy is if we're all equal!" Starlight said. "Except for YOU!" Party Favor said. Starlight was ready to fire her magic, and Gohan stepped in front of the fooled ponies. "Everypony has their own talents and gifts!" Twilight shouted. "And when we share with each other, that's how we-" "QUIET!" Starlight screamed at the top of her lungs. Veins were popping out of her neck. "You can't have that cutie mark, Starlight! Either we're all equal or NONE of us are!" Sugar Belle shouted. The townsfolk began to gang up on her. The cave was blocked, and the Mane 6 blocked any way behind her. But, Starlight used magic to pushed everyone away. She instantly dashed towards the town! ...Only to be stopped by a Gohan who grabbed her. "Now, give them all back their cutie marks! They want it back!" Gohan shouted. "N-Never!" Starlight screamed. "Do you want to be thrown into the sun, you fool!?" Gohan asked, starting to aim. Starlight was scared for her life. "F-Fine! FINE! I surrender!" She yelled. Gohan flew up and blasted the vault open. Everyone's cutie mark returned to their rightful owners! Not only that, but their manes and tails were back to normal as well! "Are you all willing to give up everything for these strangers!?" Starlight yelled in desperation. "We gave everything up to you because we thought you were our friend!" A pony yelled. Starlight Glimmer blasted the ponies in a last attempt. Twilight jumped in front and blocked it with her magic! "W-Wha!? I studied that spell for years! How can you-" "I studied magic for years too. But what I didn't know then was that studying could only take me so far!" Twilight interrupted. "Each of my friends have taught me something different about myself! It was their unique gifts and passions and personalities that helped me bring out the magic inside of me. I would have never known that I represent the Element of Magic without these six! And I certainly wouldn't be able to stop you now!" Twilight said. "Spare me your sentimental nonsense! I gave these ponies friendships they never could have had otherwise!" Starlight retorted. "How do you know that!? You never even gave us a chance!" Double Diamond yelled. Starlight teleported away in anger, not taking Gohan with her. "S-She got away!" Rainbow Dash yelled. "Don't worry. She'll come back when she realizes that she was wrong, and that you all taught her something." Twilight said. Then, Party Favor came up to Twilight. "It was you who have taught us something! We all came to this village because we were searching for something missing from our lives. We thought Starlight had given it to us, but now, now it seems like it was in front of us all along. It's us!" He said. Every one of the townsfolk hugged each other in joy. "Does that mean you'll stay in the village?" Twilight asked. "It's our home, I'm not going anywhere." The blue pegasus said. "This is a chance for us all to get to know each other again for the very first time!" Double Diamond said. "And I have a chance to bake something other than terrible muffins!" Sugar Belle said. Then everyone was back in the village. A huge celebration was being held. Gohan happened to be wolfing down the near endless sweets Sugar Belle made. The Mane 6 looked from afar. "Now THOSE are real smiles!" Pinkie Pie said. Applejack could feel her cutie mark suddenly glowing. The six each had a glowing cutie mark. "I don't think I'll ever get used to that." Applejack said. "I think it's simply divine." Rarity said. Gohan happened to be glowing yellow. "Does this mean the map is calling us somewhere else?" Fluttershy asked. "I think it means our work here is done!" Twilight said. "GOHAN! GET UP HERE!" Rainbow Dash screamed. "GOHAN! GET UP HERE!" Rainbow Dash yelled. Gohan took one more cupcake before leaving. "I'll be right back!" He yelled. Sugar Belle waved. "Looks like you were right, Twilight. The map did send us for a reason! We brought real friendship to these here ponies. Guess that's why your the Princess of Friendship." Applejack said with a wink. "But the map didn't send me, it sent us! You're a part of me, all of you! And there's no doubt each of you are here to help me in my mission to spread friendship too." Twilight said. Then everyone got into a group hug. "This feels like an ending! It doesn't have to be an ending yet, right? 'Cause that Sugar Belle can BAKE!" Pinkie Pie said. "You're telling me." Gohan said. "Maybe we could stay a LITTLE while longer. Come on!" Twilight said, trotting towards the village with her friends. Gohan's Life through Season 5Season 5 was actually the most impacting on Gohan. You'll see why. (By the way, Gala is being pushed to later in the season. You'll see why.) The unison of Cranky Doodle Donkey and Matilda was just great with that damn monster. *** A GIANT F**KING BUG BEAR IS ATTACKING PONYVILLE RIGHT NOW! CALL THE SOLAR GUARD, WE NEE- Oop, wait, oh no. That's clearly not- Oh dear, no. Gohan blasted it for us. And then the two were finally united. The end! Well, not after some stupid date mistake and wedding problems. *** Luna's nightmares were certainly an adventure for everyone. *** Luna just turned into Nightmare Moon again! But the Mane 6 just turned her back to normal... After receiving the Rainbow Power at will... And everyone hugged her... And she woke up! "A... Happy ending...? That! Cannot! Happen!" Luna said. *** The Mane 6 and Gohan were at the boutique... He was helping them out with grooming their pets. The seven each had a nightmare last night! And they were tired the next day. Except for Pinkie Pie, cuz... You know. And Gohan, because... SENZU BEAN! Rainbow Dash yawned. "Yeah Rarity... Thanks for setting all this up." Rainbow Dash said, drowsily scrubbing her pet Tank's shell. "A grooming day for our pets was a really good idea..." Fluttershy said. Her bunny Angel was asleep on her lap. Rarity was combing Opal's tail until she fell asleep and accidentally stuck it in Opal's back. Opal jumped up, clinging to the ceiling. "O-Oh my, I'm so sorry! I didn't get my beauty sleep last night." Rarity said. Opal hissed in response. "Really? I barely slept. I had a horrible nightmare." He said. "Well..." Twilight said before yawning. "I didn't really sleep well either." She said. Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy and Applejack nodded. Pinkie Pie was as energetic as ever. She was doing cartwheels all over the place. "I'm totally beat too!" Pinkie Pie yelled. Applejack nearly fell asleep, before her dog Winona woke her up with a bark. "Alright Winona..." Applejack said drowsily, reaching for the brush. She accidentally grabbed Pinkie Pie's pet Gummy. "Time for your brushing..." She said. Gummy bit Winona on the ear. Winona reacted by shaking Gummy off, and Gummy landed on Owlicious, and Owlicious pushed Twilight into water after flying up. "Whoops... I guess I'm too plum tuckered out to do it right." Applejack said. Fluttershy yawned. "I know I went to bed early last night, but then I had a really scary nightmare..." She said. "Me too!" Everyone said. "U-Uh, only, you know, I didn't think mine was THAT bad." Rainbow Dash said. "Well mine sure was. There was this blue smoke monster, and-" Twilight said, before realizing all eyes were on her. "What?" She asked. "I dreamt of a blue smoke thingy too!" Fluttershy said. "Me too!" The rest of the Mane 6 said. "Same here! But it was suddenly killed by some pink thing, and it charged at me only to phase through me to kill my mother, who suddenly appeared behind me. It was gruesome. And for some reason she had her hair in a bun..." Gohan said. "Why did you say that like it was a completely normal sentence...?" Rainbow Dash asked. "What? It's a dream." Gohan said. "Well... It's probably just a coincidence." Rainbow Dash said. "That's an awfully big coincidence." Twilight said, getting out of the water. Spike brought her towels. "Huh. I wonder why I didn't have that nightmare. I slept great!" Spike said. "So then... What could've given us all the same nightmare?" Rarity asked. "I don't know..." Twilight said, drying herself "Why don't we go to Princess Luna? She might know." Gohan said. "Good idea! Spike, could you send a scroll to Princess Luna?" Twilight asked. "Sure!" Spike said, pulling a scroll and a quill out of nowhere. "Dear Princess Luna, Last night, all my friends and I dreamt of a creature with blue smoke. For some reason, it died in Gohan's dream but he had a nightmare regardless. I'm sure you're very busy, but when you have the chance, please let me know if you have any idea of what it could be. Yours, Princess Twilight Sparkle." Twilight said. Spike sent the letter to Princess Luna. Not even three seconds later, Luna came bursting through the door. "Which of you saw the creature of blue smoke in your nightmare!?" Luna asked. "Wow... That was fast..." Fluttershy said. "We all did." Twilight said. "Not me!" Spike bragged. "Ugh!" Rainbow Dash said. "We know!" Her, Rarity and Applejack said. "So you've encountered the smoke monster too?" Twilight asked. "The Tantabus is a creature of my nightmares. It escaped from my slumbers yesterday." Luna said. "B-But, how did it get into ours?" Fluttershy asked. "The Tantabus is like a parasite. My dreams must no longer be enough for it... Now it seeks others to infect and corrupt. It must learned a few tricks from being in my dreams." Luna said. "Whoa, whoa, whoa, so what you're sayin' is... He dreamt about all of them, and not me?" Spike asked. He felt left out. "Well, so the smoke gave us bad dreams. No biggie!" Rainbow Dash said. Luna shook her head. "I saw that the Tantabus had grown more powerful. But I did not realize that power was enough to enable it to escape my dreams." She said. "If it's power grows, it can find a way to escape into the real world! It can turn all of Equestria into a living nightmare!" She added. "Okay, okay, okay! I take it back! It's bad! Really bad!" Rainbow Dash said. "How can we stop it?" Gohan asked. *** Everyone was back at Twilight's castle. "We've prepared everything exactly as you requested, Princess Luna." Twilight said. Eight beds, with seven around Twilight's. "Very good, you seven shall slumber here. I will visit the dreams it soon infests." Luna said. "OOH! Sounds like a princess sleepover!" Pinkie Pie said, hopping into bed. Everyone got into bed. "Speaking of princesses, aren't you going to ask Princess Celestia for her help?" Twilight asked. "There is nothing my sister can do. She has no power in the realm of sleep. Only I can move from dream to dream. I'm afraid nopony can help me tonight." Luna said. "Even us?" Applejack asked. "Especially you! You've all suffered so much because of me. You need only slumber as I hunt the Tantabus in your dream." Luna said. Spike was pulling on her mane. "I know you said you wanted nopony to help, so I'm helping!" Spike said, jumping on a bed. "So I'm gonna stay awake and keep watch!" Spike said, forcefully keeping his eyes open. "Aw! Thank you Spike!" Twilight said. "Well, I guess one advantage of not sleeping yesterday is being able to sleep today..." Applejack said, closing her eyes. Pinkie Pie suddenly appeared next to her in the bed. "Are you crazy! This is so exciting! I don't see how we can-" Pinkie Pie said before falling asleep. Everyone fell asleep. Except for the two. Luna accessed each one's dream. Starting with Rarity. "Oh my!" Rarity said. Her dream was full of dresses floating around. "This is simply divine!" Rarity said. The Tantabus was lurking around, however. It turned one of the dresses into a monster with snakes and a mouth! Rarity reacted by blasting it away. The Tantabus turned all but one of the dresses into monsters. Princess Luna appeared. "It is here!" She said. The monsters ripped up the last beautiful dress. Rarity began to cry. "What kind of monster would do this!?" She sobbed, grabbing the remains. "The Tantabus." Luna said. "The let's stop it!" Rarity yelled. "No! You have suffered enough! I will catch it!" Luna said, charging at the Tantabus. The Tantabus summoned the dress monsters, who quickly fell to Luna. The Tantabus fled to another dream. "Oh no! I'm sorry, it fled into another dream! I must go where you cannot!" Luna said, flying after it. *** Pinkie Pie's dream was all dandy. She was walking about and singing. And whenever she jumped, she was in a new location. Like a dragon's nest, to a forest, to the Everfree Forest, and some heavenly place. Where Princess Luna was. "I followed the Tantabus here. Now I need only find it!" She said. Pinkie Pie jumped to the jungle. "Sorry, can't find it! Hops stuck in my head and-" She said as she jumped into a cake wonderland. "OOH! Cake!" She squealed. The Tantabus was lurking yet again. It turned a cake into a monster. And more. "EW! Cake!" Pinkie Pie said. The cakes were coming at her. Luna appeared, destroying each one. The Tantabus fled into a cake box, and Luna charged after it. Only to smash into Spike's statue at the Crystal Empire. "No!" Luna said. "Sorry!" Pinkie Pie said. Luna went after the Tantabus again. *** Fluttershy's dream was nice. A giant Angel was brushing Fluttershy's hair outside her cottage. "It's so nice to be the pet for once..." Fluttershy mumbled. The Tantabus was lurking again. It turned Angel into a Bunny Monster! He grew claws, teeth, red eyes, and even bigger! It roared at Fluttershy. "N-N-Nice... Giant... Evil... Angel!?" Fluttershy said, cowering. She screamed before Angel tried to grab her, but Luna saved her in time, placing her atop a giant tree. "Phew, oh thank you Princess!" Fluttershy said. The Tantabus escaped into another dream. Luna quickly followed. And now the monster was trying to take the tree down. *** Applejack dreamt of apples. She was polishing a giant apple twice her size. "Now this is what I call an incredible dream!" Applejack said. The Tantabus was lurking yet again. It turned Applejack's trees into dead ones. Luna appeared from an apple. She searched for the Tantabus. The Tantabus made the giant apple rot! And escaped to another dream through it! *** Rainbow Dash was beating up a horde of changelings. Luna blasted one away. "I can already see the Tantabus has already turned your dream into a nightmare!" She said. "What are you talking about? This is my favorite dream!" Rainbow Dash said, delivering a backhand. The Tantabus turned her dream into a wonderland. Flowers were singing and playing SHITTYFLUTE. (If you know it then I clap for you) Rainbow Dash screamed. The Tantabus fled into yet another dream! *** Twilight's dream was... Reading. She was in a library. The Tantabus turned her books into monsters. They flew at Twilight. The Tantabus was about to devour Twilight, until Luna appeared and blasted the Tantabus. "Luna!" Twilight said. The Tantabus was growing weaker, so it escaped into Gohan's dream! *** Gohan's dream was... Just like the last one. Some pink thing he couldn't identify was killing his past. Gohan tried to attack it, but did nothing. It smacked Gohan away with ease. Tienshinhan, Chiaotzu and Piccolo were being killed this time. "Pathetic!" It yelled. Gohan turned into a Super Saiyan, but even that did nothing. The Tantabus was lurking around yet again. It attempted to devour Gohan, but he made his aura flare and fired a heavy blast at it. Half of the Tantabus was blasted away. The unidentified pink thing slashed it in two. "Get out of my sight!" It yelled. Luna appeared in the dream, only to be slashed by this pink figure. "No!" Gohan yelled, turning Super Saiyan 2 and charging at the pink thing. The Tantabus engulfed Luna. All of a sudden, everything around Gohan went black. He looked around to see someone in an orange gi. He was a child, perhaps three quarters the size of Gohan. He turned around at Gohan. "Hi! Please help me." He said, with a very high voice. "What...?" Gohan muttered. The pink thing cut him in two! But... It wasn't as gruesome. In fact, it looked like he just dematerialized instead of blood gushing everywhere. The pink thing charged at Gohan, and Gohan crossed his arms in a last attempt to block. *** Gohan woke up! Everyone else woke up beforehand. "My gosh Gohan, why are you so mad!?" Spike yelled. "Huh!?" Gohan asked. "Yeah... Why are you a Super Saiyan 2?" Rainbow Dash asked. "I am?" Gohan asked. He looked at his drooping hair. "Oh." He said, powering down. "I am sorry, my friends, I have failed. It will be back to infect your dreams the next time you sleep. But it was somehow weakened by Gohan..." Luna said. "What? How?" Gohan asked. "You blasted it, halving it's size, correct?" Luna asked. "Are you saying I weakened it?" Gohan asked. "Yes, we will need you to kill it! Though... It appears that the Tantabus did not make your dream a nightmare... It didn't seem like a nightmare." Luna said. "Should I fall back asleep to try again?" Gohan asked. "I doubt the Tantabus will return to your dream." Luna said. "Do you think the rest of Ponyville is infected? Because in my dream, I was having a big ice cream cone in town and everypony came!" Pinkie Pie said. "WHAT!?" Luna asked. "All of Equestria will be doomed! It gains more and more power as it enters dreams!" Luna said. "We can't catch the varmit either!" Applejack said. "What if we all had the same dream?" Twilight asked. "I do have the ability to connect dreams... But I fear it may not work. I probably don't possess such power." Luna said. "Then take mine!" Gohan said, giving half of his full power to Luna. "W-What is... What!?" Luna asked, brimming with power. "Let's stop the Tantabus, back to sleep everyone!" Gohan said. Everyone nodded as they drifted off. Luna performed the spell, and intertwined everyone's dreams. *** It was a bit of a catastrophe, flying muffins and whatnot. There were flying earth ponies, a giant Derpy Hooves making bird noises, and Lyra and Bon Bon being stuck together. Those were just a few of the many dumb things. Gohan was looking around for the Tantabus, he could sense it. It was approaching the dream town with an expanded size. All of the ponies began to cower, and ran away. Gohan turned Super Saiyan. "Hurry, Gohan!" Luna yelled from afar. Gohan blasted the Tantabus to no avail, it was only minimized. "I can't do it alone, and it keeps getting stronger!" Gohan yelled as he fired more blasts. "Everypony, THIS IS A DREAM! WILL ANYTHING YOU WANT FORTH TO DEFEAT THE TANTABUS!" Luna yelled inside a barrier connecting the dreams. Many ponies did everything, summoning money powers, Power Pony powers, nightmare powers, Big Bird Foot powers, Cat in the Hat Table powers, and etc. Despite all of the crazy attacks, it kept growing in size, making the surroundings monsters, and desperately clawing to access the rest of Equestria. Gohan figured something out. 'I can use Instant Transmission!' He thought, putting two fingers to his head. He appeared in front of the Tantabus, who was about to enter the ripple to Equestria. His aura flared, making the Tantabus recoil. "Princess Luna! We need a better plan!" Gohan yelled as he threw ki blasts at it. "Yeah! This is isn't working too well!" Fluttershy said, turning into Saddle Ranger. Luna was starting to lose her grip on the dream, her power diminished quickly. Gohan summoned Goku in the dream. Surprisingly, a Super Saiyan Blue one. "Why is your hair blue?" Gohan asked. "This is what it's like to go beyond a Super Saiyan God!" Goku yelled, charging at the Tantabus. "Super Saiyan... What?" Gohan asked. The Tantabus was quickly beaten down by Goku. But it grew stronger as well. "I can barely hold this dream! Equestria will fall... Because of me!" Luna sobbed, actually crying. The Tantabus grew in size, but was halted by the dream Goku. It was temporary, and the Tantabus grew even larger. "I think it's feeding off your guilt, Princess Luna!" Twilight yelled. "KAIO-KEN!" Goku yelled, beating up the Tantabus even more. Gohan's mouth, along with everyone else was agape. "Is that so!? Perhaps that it is how it grew strong enough to escape in the first place!" Luna said. "Say what now!?" Applejack asked. The Tantabus attempted to leave the dream again, only to be halted by a Kaio-ken 3x Goku. "I created the Tantabus to give myself the same nightmare every night... To punish myself for the evil I caused as Nightmare Moon!" Luna sobbed. "But why would you do that!?" Fluttershy yelled. Goku was now at 4x. "To make sure I never forgave myself for how much Equestria suffered because of me..." Luna sobbed. "But it seems I have not learned my lesson, for now I have only made you suffer more!" She sobbed. The Tantabus grew even larger, as Luna's guilt grew. Goku was now at 5x. 'Dad... You're awesome.' Gohan thought. "But that means you're the key to stopping all of this!" Twilight said. "Yeah! If it gets strong as you feel bad like you did as Nightmare Moon, then you have to stop feeling bad for what you did!" Rainbow Dash yelled in her attempts as Zapp to stop the Tantabus, who evolved into a giant alicorn. "But how could I forgive myself!? I am no better now than I was then, my creation is about to turn the world into a living nightmare!" Luna sobbed. "But look at what you're doing! Nightmare Moon would've wanted the Tantabus to turn Equestria into a nightmare! You're doing everything you can to stop it!" Twilight yelled. Goku was now at 6x. "Don't you see!? That proves you aren't the same pony, Princess Luna! You're better! We all know Nightmare Moon is in the past, and you have to let go!" Gohan yelled. "We all trust you, Princess Luna! Do you trust us to believe we're right!?" Twilight asked. Goku was now at 10x. His aura on top of an aura flared even brighter. Luna started to smile and stop crying. "I do..." She said. The Tantabus recoiled and shrunk in size. It went into Princess Luna where it ultimately disappeared. "Thank you! Thank you all!" Luna said. Gohan bowed and ran to his father. ...But the dream ended and now he couldn't talk to him again. *** It was sunrise... Everyone woke up! "Luna did it!" Twilight yelled. "She sure did!... But I'm not exactly sure what she did." Applejack said. "Luna created the Tantabus to punish herself, the worse she felt, the more power it gained. But when she finally forgave herself for what Nightmare Moon did..." Twilight said. "Poof!" Spike said. Fluttershy hushed them. She pointed her hoof at a sleeping Luna. So peacefully. "Huh. Wonder what she's dreaming about now." Spike said. "Same here... Oh, and I learned Instant Transmission!" Gohan said. "You did?" Twilight asked. "Yep!" Gohan said, teleporting all over the room. He finally stopped on his bed. "H-How!? You couldn't do it before!" Twilight said. "I took it from the dream." Gohan said. "You can't attain anything from dreams!" Twilight said. "Except knowledge." Gohan said with a smirk. "I- Oh. I should've thought of that." Twilight said. *** (To clarify, Dream Goku is weak as hell. Even as a SSGSS he sucks. Regular Goku would eat the Tantabus as a snack.) When Shining Armor and Cadence told everyone they were having a baby, everyone was shocked. Especially Gohan. *** "A baby!?" Gohan said to himself. "Dear Son Gohan, We cordially invite you to the party of our upcoming baby. It will be held at Sugarcube Corner on Friday. We ask that you provide extra security and do not tell anypony else about this. Especially Twilight. We also have a very big surprise for you. We hope to see you! Yours, Shining Armor Princess Cadence" "Oh boy! So they finally had one!" He said to himself. *** The Mane 6 arrived at Sugarcube Corner after a scavenger hunt. Gohan, Shining Armor and Cadence were all waiting there. "Surprise!" Shining Armor said. He walked up to Twilight. "Twily, did you like the scavenger hunt?" He asked. "It was perfect! Just like old times! This time it was better because I got to share it with my best friends!" Twilight said. "There's just one thing missing, isn't there? You know, the book prize at the end...?" She asked. Shining Armor chuckled. "There's still a prize, but it's a little different this time." He said. "Oh... I don't understand. Does Gohan know?" Twilight asked. Pinkie Pie grinned widely and squealed. "Not really, I'm waiting for it as much as you." Gohan said. "All the places we sent you to today have something in common." Cadence said. "...First we went to the schoolhouse..." Twilight said. Pinkie Pie was struggling to keep it in. "Then we read the Foal Free Press," Twilight said. Pinkie Pie was biting her own tongue at this point. "We had to see Applejack's birth certificate," Twilight said. Pinkie Pie held the Cakes' babies in her hooves. "And then the last clue was under a crib." She said. Pinkie Pie was dying. "Hm... School, foal, birth certificate, crib..." She said. Twilight had the realization and gasped. "Can it be!? Are you two...?" Twilight asked. "WE'RE HAVING A BABY!" Cadence and Shining Armor said. "A BABY TWILIGHT! IT'S A BABY!" Pinkie Pie yelled as she sprung around the room screaming: "Woohoo!" Twilight was shocked. "Y-You mean... I'm gonna be an aunt!?" Twilight asked. The soon to be parents smiled. "THIS IS THE BEST PRIZE EVER!" Twilight exclaimed, smiling brightly. The two laughed. Twilight ran up to give Shining Armor a hug. "Oh I love you guys! And I can't wait to meet your little foal!" Twilight said. "Neither can we. And Gohan, we haven't told you your surprise yet." Shining Armor said. "I want to know." Gohan said with a smile. "We personally ask you... To be the godfather." Cadence said. (I'm using Chinese tradition, not Christian nor Jewish. Don't go to the comments saying I was wrong.) Gohan's smile turned into a shocked face. "G-Godfather!?" He asked. "Godfather!?" Everyone else except for Shining Armor asked. Gohan's mouth was agape. He pointed at himself. Cadence giggled. "Of course! If anything were to happen, we want to put our trust in you to take care of the foal." She said. Gohan regained his composure and smiled brightly. "I'd be honored!" He said. "But why me?" He soon asked. "Well, we trust you the most to protect our foal. You are the strongest being on this planet, and possibly the universe." Shining Armor said. "Aw..." Gohan said, blushing a little. "Woohoo! Gohan's gonna be a GODFATHER!" Pinkie Pie screamed. "Wow! You have yet another duty, Gohan!" Twilight said. "Yep!" Gohan said. "And with Gohan's new awesome ability, it should be easy!" Rainbow Dash said. "What is it?" Shining Armor asked. "Oh, it's just this." Gohan said, putting two fingers to his forehead. "Tell me anywhere in Equestria." He said. "Mostcow...?" Cadence asked. "Okay, be right back." He said vanishing. He suddenly came back with an fur hat. "Привет." He said. "D-Did you just go to Mostcow!?" Shining Armor asked. "Yes. Now I demand some блин!" Gohan yelled. Everyone looked at him confused. "Pancakes. I want some pancakes." He said. "I'LL GET YOU SOME!" Pinkie Pie yelled, rushing into the kitchen. *** Hearth's Warming was pretty good. He went to the world of Equestria Girls for it. (I'm technically using the 2014 Comic Special for this, but changing it pretty drastically. By drastically I mean barely, I'm just putting a few lines for Gohan! Just kidding, but hah!) *** Gohan stared at the town from afar. 'Hearth's Warming... It's coming. It's just like Christmas... Families get to together, while me and plenty of others are alone... Again.' He thought. Despite this negative thought, he couldn't help but smile. Twilight was approaching with Celestia's book to Sunset Shimmer. "Gohan!" She yelled. "What's up?" Gohan asked. "Read!" Twilight said, opening the book with her magic. "Dear Princess.... Huh?" Gohan asked. "They want you to go there for Hearth's Warming! Well, a before party, technically." Twilight said, closing the book. "Huh. That's... That's good." Gohan said a little too excitedly. Twilight giggled. "Why are you so excited? Do you have a crush~?" She sneered. "No!" Gohan retorted. "It's just... Hearth's Warming hasn't been a happy occasion for me. Except for when I got my sword, I felt that was a Chris- I mean, Hearth's Warming present. I'm just really happy that they invited me." He said. "Well, you better get them a present!" Twilight said. "I'm already on it!" Gohan said as he flew away. "Thanks for telling me!" He yelled at Twilight. Twilight waved. *** Gohan had a blue sack full of gifts for his friends. He was at Twilight's castle, where the decorations were crazy. "So you're going over there for Hearth's Warming? You better be a stud over there." Spike joked. "Hey! I don't want that!" Gohan retorted. "Come on, don't you have a crush or two over there?" Spike joked. "No." Gohan said. "Oh. Okay...? I'm actually surprised." Twilight said. "...I'll be leaving now." Gohan said, ending the awkwardness. "You best." Twilight and Spike said. Gohan entered the portal. *** The human Mane 6 were outside the portal, wearing all kinds of coats and scarves. It was snowing. "Is he even coming?" Rainbow Dash asked. "It's only been two minutes." Applejack said. "I know, but this is boring!" Rainbow Dash whined. "He visits like, every two days. Except for the last two weeks. Calm down!" Sunset Shimmer said. "And we are doing this for him. He doesn't spend Hearth's Warming with a family. At least, not anymore." Fluttershy said. "I wonder if he'll get us gifts!" Pinkie Pie said. "I doubt it. He's only a kid! What kid can-" Rarity said before Gohan came through the portal with a blue sack. "Well, I'll be." Rarity said. "Hi..." He said awkwardly. "What's with the sack?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Gifts." Gohan said. "That's very thoughtful of you." Fluttershy said. Gohan laughed awkwardly. "It's not like I'd show up empty handed..." He said. *** The human Mane 6 and Gohan were in Pinkie Pie's room for Hearth's Warming Eve. "I'm surprised you all were able to come here. I expected you all to be with your families." Gohan said. "Come on! We're all technically family here!" Pinkie Pie said. "Yeah, and we'd rather spend Hearth's Warming with someone without a family to do it with." Rainbow Dash said. "Aw, you didn't have to..." Gohan said, blushing lightly. "Of course we did! I would feel horrible if I spent Hearth's Warming knowing you didn't have somebody to spend it with." Fluttershy said. "You're too nice, Fluttershy." Rainbow Dash said. "But she has seriously huge amounts of hidden potential as a fighter! Remember when she was able to knock you out with a single punch, Rainbow?" Gohan asked. "Hey! I was taking it easy on her!" Rainbow Dash retorted. "I'm still sorry I did that." Fluttershy said. "Yeah, okay." Rainbow Dash said. "What's happened over there?" Applejack asked. "Well, I'm going to be a godfather now." Gohan said. "No way! Why?" Pinkie Pie asked. "Because the princess trusts me, as I'm the strongest being on the planet and we're very close." Gohan said. "That's cool." Sunset Shimmer said. "Oh, and I learned this." Gohan said, putting two fingers to his head and teleporting around the entire room multiple times. "Okay, this is scaring me!" Fluttershy said. "The sounds are killing me!" Rarity said. Gohan stopped. "Sorry." He said. "Are you gonna teach us that!?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Of course!... Once you all learn how to use ki." Gohan said. "Awesome." Rainbow Dash said. "Anything happen over here?" Gohan asked. "While doing exercises, I, as awesome as I am, somehow grew my wings." Rainbow Dash said. "It was truly a shock." Rarity said. "Perhaps that's even more hidden potential in you all." Gohan said. "Other than that, nothing really." Sunset Shimmer said. "Okay." Gohan said. "Now it's time for the fun part of a slumber party!" Pinkie Pie said, putting emphasis on fun. "...Huh?" Gohan asked. "It's time for more gossip and hair brushing and video games and scary stories and hanging out and talking and best of all..." Pinkie Pie sputtered. Then Maud Pie appeared in the doorway carrying sixteen pizzas. "Here are the sixteen pizzas you ordered, Pinkie." She said. Pinkie Pie hugged her sister. "Oh Maud! You're the best sister ever!" She exclaimed. "The grease is dripping on my shoes." Maud said. Gohan lifted the pizzas from Maud's hands. "Thank you." She said, walking away. Gohan set the pizzas on the ground. "Why did you order about 210 dollars worth of pizzas!?" He asked. "Mainly for you, silly!" Pinkie Pie said. "You guys really didn't have to do all this." Gohan said. "Agreement." Sunset Shimmer said. "Why? Is this also a returning experience for you?" Gohan asked. "Yep. It's been a while since I've celebrated Hearth's Warming. Even as Princess Celestia's student I barely spent Hearth's Warming with anypo- Anybody." Sunset Shimmer said. "Well... At least we get to have this good experience." Gohan said. "You know, we're gonna do this EVERYDAY before Hearth's Warming day?" Pinkie Pie said. "At various locations." Rarity said. "May I ask why?" Gohan asked. "Because..." Then Pinkie Pie whispered something in Gohan's ear. "Uh... Okay. I can't come to any more after this." He said. "Why, darling?" Rarity asked. "I can't keep slacking on my training, and I also may never know when I'm called to solve a friendship problem." Gohan said. "What kind of training has it turned into?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "990x Earth's normal gravity with the same 4300 kilograms of weighted clothing. I tend to use the Multi-Form Technique so I can actually give myself a decent challenge." Gohan said. "Well, you're going to need a feast to satisfy you!" Rarity said. "Now eat up!" Pinkie Pie said, forcefully pulling Gohan's jaw down and stuffing a pizza in his mouth. Gohan chewed very quickly and swallowed. "Please don't do that ever again." He said. Rainbow Dash raced to the video games and started to eat some pizza. "Hey Fluttershy! Play some 'Magic Drive Racer VI Deluxe' with me!" She said. "Oh, I don't know..." Fluttershy said as Rainbow Dash handed her a controller. "It'll help you relax!" Rainbow Dash said. "Thank you, but I-" "Look! You can play as a fuzzy bunny with a monster truck!" Rainbow Dash interrupted. Fluttershy completely changed. "I will destroy all my enemies." She said with flaming eyes. Gohan could feel some random shift in power from her. 'Okay, best to steer clear of that. I feel bad for Rainbow Dash. Again.' He thought. *** Only about an hour later, everyone but Gohan wore their pajamas. He only removed his boots and orange shirt. He neatly folded them in the corner of the room. "Why not take off the blue shirt and keep the orange?" Pinkie Pie asked. "Keeping my weighted clothing on is good for me. I removed my boots. And I'm glad it's not going through the floor." Gohan said. "Thanks, girls- and guy." Sunset Shimmer said. "I haven't done anything like this in a long time! It's good to have friends." She said. "Yep! Without the pony versions of you, I would probably be dead because of numerous stomach ulcers." Gohan said. "That sounds gross!" Rainbow Dash yelled. "That's because it is. Science is what we nerds call disgusting yet intriguing." Gohan said. "Man, it means a lot to me having friends that suppo-" Applejack said before her phone rang. She sighed as she picked up the phone. It was a video chat. "Whoever this is, you just ruined a really heartwarming-" "And disgusting!" Rainbow Dash interrupted. "Moment." Applejack finished. "Hey big sis." Applebloom said on the other side. "Granny wanted me to call and make sure you're doin' alright." Applebloom said. "Of course I am! I'm with all my friends! Including your 'crush.'" Applejack joked. "I don't have a crush on him!" Applebloom retorted. Gohan REALLY didn't want to become Mr. Romantic ever. "Whatever. Tell Granny I'm alright!" Applejack said. "Yeah! She's fine! She's wearing nail polish!" Sunset Shimmer joked. "Lemme see!" Applebloom said. Applejack sighed as she pointed the front camera at her fingernails. Gohan just happened to be in the shot, eating pizza. "Who's that?" Applebloom asked. "It's me." Gohan said. "Oh. I couldn't recognize you by the blue shirt." Applebloom said. "I wear this all the time!" Gohan retorted. "Yeah, yeah, okay. I'm just the messenger. AJ, good night, Piggly Wiggly." Applebloom said, hanging up. "Did your sister just call you 'Piggly Wiggly?'" Sunset Shimmer asked. "Uh, yeah. She did." Applejack said. "Why?" Gohan asked. "When I was real little, I used to follow Granny Smith around when she was doing chores. I specifically loved it when she fed the pigs. So one day, I snuck into the pigpen and played with the pigs. Granny Smith I stayed in there for hours! So she started calling me 'Piggly Wiggly' and the nickname kind of stuck. Applebloom likes to use it when she thinks I'm getting too big for my britches. Well, that's family for you." Applejack said. "Yeah..." Gohan said. "Who wants milk and cookies! Or cocoa! Or cupcakes and cake and everything here!" Pinkie Pie said, suddenly making cups of milk, cocoa, cupcakes, cookies, cake, candy, and etc appear. Everyone was shocked. "H-How did you do that...?" Applejack asked. "I have my secrets!" Pinkie Pie said. "Just like we all do." Gohan said. "Yeah... What kinds of secrets do you have...?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "I'd say probably very similar to people my age. Or people in general." Gohan said. "Why in general?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "Let's change the subject, and stop talking about me. Let's eat!" Gohan said. Everyone cheered as they began to eat the many sweets Pinkie Pie had made. And Gohan just began to devour it. "My goodness! Your metabolism is insane!" Rarity said. "I can't imagine eating like that..." Fluttershy said. Everyone got full of the sweets. Gohan drank most of the milk and cocoa while leaving generous amounts for his friends. "Phew! Thanks Pinkie!" Gohan said, patting his stomach. "No problem!" Pinkie Pie said. "Alright, I'm off to bed." Gohan said, laying down beside the bed. "But we haven't even watched the Hearth's Warming movie! And games!" Pinkie Pie said. "How much of this night did you plan!?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Juuuust a little." Pinkie Pie said. "Perhaps we should move that to tomorrow, it is very late. 10:24 PM!" Rarity said. "Yeah, and I'm ready to crash!" Gohan said. "Let me get you a sleeping bag." Rarity said. "Nah, good night!" Gohan said, closing his eyes. "Are you sure?" Applejack asked. Gohan didn't respond. "How does he do that...?" Rarity asked. "I think it's best not to ask about it." Rainbow Dash said. *** Everyone was asleep. It had been about three hours. Or 1:28 AM, if you care about that. Everyone was dreaming peacefully... Except Gohan, he was having a 'nightmare' again. *** Gohan dreamt of being back on Earth... But back to trying in vain to kill the pink creature murdering everybody. This time it was a town. Gohan tried to hit the creature, only to be punched in the stomach and punched away. 'Wait... This is a dream, right. I can just summon my dad!' Gohan thought. He got up, and imagined his dad! ...Nothing happened. "What!?" Gohan asked. He desperately tried in vain to summon anything. Vegeta landed nearby. He had a bodysuit with no sleeves. "Vegeta!" Gohan said. Vegeta didn't respond, turning Super Saiyan. He let out a war cry as he charged at this creature. He was seemingly brutalizing it. But it stuck a black blade into Vegeta. Vegeta coughed out blood. Gohan rushed to Vegeta's aid, but for some reason, he couldn't touch them. His hands and body phased through them. 'It was just able to hit me a moment ago!' Gohan thought. "Get out of my sight!" It yelled, blasting Vegeta to oblivion. The town was also destroyed. Gohan was unaffected, somehow. Gohan tried in vain to get the pink creature to disappear. He tried imagining, attacking, and even turned Super Saiyan. *** Gohan's grunts and going Super Saiyan awakened the girls around him. "What's going on..." Rainbow Dash asked drowsily. "What's happening to Gohan?" Sunset Shimmer asked. Gohan was sweating, and his aura pushed the blue blanket the girls set on him off him. *** The pink creature flew away, and Gohan quickly followed. He threw ki blasts, everything. Nothing happened! 'What is this, not a dream!?' Gohan thought. Some other yellow being smashed itself into the pink creature. It looked like a mini Goku! "You... Killed... Mom!" He yelled. The pink creature merely laughed in response. "She was clearly begging for me to destroy her. I even ended her in the afterlife." It said. "You killed this kid's mother twice!?" Gohan yelled. "If you must know, it was yours." The pink creature said. "Who are you talking to?" The boy asked. Gohan was shocked. "Y-You didn't kill Chi Chi!" He yelled. The pink creature laughed in response. Gohan was enraged. He knew his mother disowned him, but he had an undying love for her! He turned Super Saiyan 2! Instead, it quickly knocked Gohan aside. 'Suddenly his attacks work!?' Gohan thought. The creature kicked the boy down to the ground. 'Wait... Is he my brother!?' Gohan thought. *** "WAKE UP!" Pinkie Pie yelled, unleashing an air horn in Gohan's ear. Gohan sat up, panting with sweat. "Thank goodness you woke up!" Rarity said. "What kind of nightmare would turn your hair into that!?" Rainbow Dash asked. "W-What!? Where is he!?" Gohan yelled, scanning the room. "Who is he?" Sunset Shimmer asked. Gohan finally realized the dream, or whatever it was was finally over. "P-Please go back to your normal form!" Fluttershy squeaked. "Yeah, your face is really scary." Rainbow Dash said. Gohan realized he was a Super Saiyan 2 in real life. He powered down. "I'm so sorry... I turned into a Super Saiyan 2..." Gohan said. "THAT'S a Super Saiyan 2? No wonder everyone you use it on loses!" Rainbow Dash said. "What kind of nightmare did you even have...?" Rarity asked. "It... Was nothing." Gohan lied. "Definitely not!" Pinkie Pie said. "Sugarcube, I know a lie when I see one." Applejack said. "Look, I really don't want to talk about it! Let's... Let's just go back to sleep!" Gohan said. "Then... Good night." Fluttershy said, going back under her blankets on Pinkie Pie's bed. 'Wasn't this just a Tantabus thing? Why is it back now...? So late?' Gohan thought. *** The next morning, everybody was eating incredible amounts of popcorn and opening gifts. The six were doing some sort of gift exchange while they also gave Gohan a gift. Rainbow Dash exchanged with Fluttershy, Rarity exchanged with Applejack and Pinkie Pie exchanged with Sunset Shimmer. And Gohan brought a damn sack. "Well, here ya go Sunset!" Pinkie Pie said, handing her gift over. Sunset Shimmer unwrapped the candy cane snow wrapping and found a... Another wrap. "How many layers of wrap did you add?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "Only 7!" Pinkie Pie said. Sunset Shimmer finally unveiled... A sunflower pillow. She gasped! "How did you know!?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "Know that you like sunflowers? Just a hunch!" Pinkie Pie said. "Thanks!" Sunset Shimmer said. Rainbow Dash sighed. "Okay, here's yours." She said, handing her gift to Fluttershy. Fluttershy unwrapped her gift. It was a new pink tambourine. "Oh my! I thought none of you knew!" Fluttershy said. "You started to not show up to practice. I also saw you drop it." Rainbow Dash said. "Thank you." Fluttershy said, handing Rainbow Dash her gift. Rainbow Dash received a new video game controller. "Y-You broke yours the last time we were here..." Fluttershy said. "Thanks! This is awesome!" Rainbow Dash said. Rarity gave Applejack her gift. "Here you are." She said. Applejack unwrapped her present to reveal... New apple boots. "Well, I do need some new boots for the fields. Thanks Rarity." Applejack said. She handed Rarity's gift to her. Rarity unwrapped her gift to reveal... A blue sweater with three diamonds/her cutie mark on it. "Aw, it's perfect!" She said, putting it on. "Okay, now it's my turn! For Pinkie, she gets..." Gohan said, pulling out a party cannon for Pinkie Pie. "W-What is that!?" Rainbow Dash asked. "A party cannon! It only shoots out party stuff and confetti. It's not strong enough for an actual cannonball." Gohan said. "I love it!" Pinkie Pie said, firing confetti all over Gohan. "Oops!" She said. "It has about two more shots. You will have to refill it before-" Gohan said before Pinkie Pie fired two more blasts of confetti at Gohan. His entire body was just confetti. Everyone was snickering. Gohan laughed. He uncovered himself and put some of it inside the cannon again. "Don't fire it when it's empty or else it will break down." Gohan said. "How did you even get that?" Fluttershy said. "The other world's Pinkie Pie has about 500 of these." Gohan said. "W-Why did you say that like it was a completely normal sentence...?" Sunset Shimmer said. "Because I stopped questioning it a long time ago. Anyway, for Applejack..." Gohan said, pulling out a lasso. "A lasso!?" Applejack asked. "Mine snapped! Thanks!" She said, taking the gift. "Great! Just don't try to bre-" Gohan said before Applejack lassoed him. "Sorry." She said. "It's fine." He said, getting himself out of the rope. "For Rarity..." Gohan said, pulling out Rarity's fabric from when she visited Manehattan for a competition. "Oh my! It's amazing! It's so vibrant!" Rarity said. "It's an entire roll. Use it however you wish." Gohan said, handing it to her. "Thank you very much." Rarity said. "Alrighty, for Fluttershy..." Gohan said, pulling out a bird's whistle. "Oh my goodness!" Fluttershy said. "It's a bird's whistle." He said, handing it to her. "Thank you so much!" Fluttershy said, blowing into the whistle. Moments later, a bird flew into the window. "Oops! Sorry Mr. Bird!" Fluttershy said. The bird just flew away. "For Rainbow Dash..." Gohan said, pulling out... Nothing? He just walked up to her and put his hand on her head. Rainbow Dash received a slight shock. "W-What did you just do...?" Rainbow Dash asked. "I just gave you the ability to use ki. In a basic way, at most." Gohan said, taking his hand away. "Wait, you just gave her the ability?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "Yeah, I thought she'd like that compared to a book." Gohan said, turning his head towards Sunset Shimmer. "Then you were right!" Rainbow Dash said, firing a very minor and weak ki blast at Gohan. It struck him in the face. "Why don't you just do that to us!?" Pinkie Pie asked. "Relax. I just gave her knowledge on how to utilize her life energy in the most basic way. You'll learn." Gohan said. "Kamehameha!" Rainbow Dash yelled, firing... A very weak yellow blast that fell to the ground and disintegrated. "Oh." She said. "See? She's doesn't have the entire knowledge. And you guys will learn the next time we have a training session." Gohan said. "Cool!" Fluttershy said. "And finally, for Sunset Shimmer..." Gohan said, pulling out... New guitar strings...? "I got the memo that they snapped." Gohan said. "Wait, Twilight told you?" Sunset Shimmer asked, taking them. "You COULD say that." Gohan said. "Thanks! But... These strings are expensive! How did you afford them in Equestria?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "My occupation remains to be protector of Equestria. I receive a hefty paycheck from the princesses every week." Gohan said. "Well... Thanks!" She said. "And now we have to give you your gift!" Pinkie Pie said. "Yeah, and- Wait, you got a gift for me?" Gohan asked. "Uh... Yeah. What did you expect? For us to be greedy?" Rainbow Dash asked. "I... I didn't take this into account, heh." Gohan said. "Well, here you go!" Pinkie Pie said, handing Gohan a present. "We all put our thoughts into it." Fluttershy said. "I'm sure I'll like it." Gohan said, unwrapping it. It was a mock glass four star dragon ball. It looked very authentic. Gohan was confused. "How did you...?" He asked. "We made it! I know you used to wear it on your hat. We all do!" Pinkie Pie said. Gohan smiled. "I love it." He said. "My dad cherished it for his grandpa. I guess I should do the same for them, huh?" Gohan asked. "Yup!" Rainbow Dash said. "And I also cherish it because you guys made it." Gohan said. "Hugs?" He asked, gesturing for a hug. Everyone got into a group hug. "Hey! Let's take a picture of this!" Rainbow Dash said, pulling out her phone. They all took a selfie. Then the rest of the day was spent taking pictures and watching movies like: "How The Grinch Stole Hearth's Warming" and "A Hearth's Warming Carol" And now they had to go home for family stuff. And Gohan went home because of just that. Well, he didn't go to the next slumber party at Rarity's. *** I guess you could call that some sort of holiday special. Discord was a little productive with Gohan during the three days Twilight and Spike were busy in the library. He only raised the gravity machine's capability by... a million. Great for Gohan since he managed to tank 1000x gravity, the max. Finally, he was called by the map to do something about friendship. And again, in the Equestria Girls world. *** Gohan was training in his newly upgraded gravity chamber. He was taking it slow at 1010x normal gravity. Suddenly, he started to glow yellow. "Huh. Wonder why that- Oh!" Gohan said, turning off the machine. He quickly flew to Twilight's castle. *** "So you finally have a friendship problem to solve, huh?" Twilight asked. "Uh, yeah. And the map wants me to go to... The human world. I visit them far too often." Gohan said. "Something hopefully good and not weird." Twilight said. *** Gohan came through the portal yet again, where the Mane 6 were waiting yet again. "Hey! Ready for training?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Sure. But I'm also here for another- Hey... Where's Sunset Shimmer?" Gohan asked. "She went and back stabbed us again!" Applejack said. "Now why would she ever do that?" Gohan asked. "I dunno. She totally made us look horrible in these photos!" Rainbow Dash said, pulling her phone out. The photo in question was Gohan beating Rainbow Dash at soccer. "Hm... Hey, it says it was posted by 'Anon-A-Miss!'" Gohan said. "Uh yeah! Sunset Shimmer is Anon-A-Miss!" Pinkie Pie said. "Really?... This really isn't something she's do..." Gohan noted. "I don't wanna even talk about it anymore." Applejack said. Gohan tried finding Sunset Shimmer's presence... It was inside the library of the school. "I'll be back." He said, walking into the school. "What about training?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Push-ups, sit-ups, and plenty of juice!" Gohan yelled as he entered the school. "Uh... Huh." Applejack said. The rest just looked on in confusion. "Let's just go to Sugarcube Corner." Pinkie Pie said. *** Last period ended, the bell rang, and Sunset Shimmer's free library period ended. She walked in the crowded halls until she bumped into EVERYONE. She eventually fell. "Who did that?" She asked. "Maybe it was Anon-A-Miss." A person said. "Anon-A-Miss." Another person said. "Secret stalker." Another person said. "I can't believe she did that." Another person said. The insults kept pouring in. Sunset Shimmer began to cry. "Traitor." Some said. "You ruined my life." Some said. "Thief." Some said. "Monster." Some said. Sunset Shimmer was really breaking down. Suddenly, "STOP!" Someone yelled. "Get away from her!" Someone yelled. Sunset Shimmer looked up in confusion. Everyone else also looked. It was Gohan. "G...Gohan?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "What do you have to add to this? She hurt you too!" Someone said. "She has NEVER hurt me. Now leave her alone before I hurt YOU." Gohan said very sternly. The students walked away. Some gave Sunset Shimmer dirty looks, and etc. The halls were finally empty. Sunset Shimmer saw two blue boots in her peripheral vision. Gohan held his hand out. "D-Do you believe me...?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "I'll admit, I'm late to the party. But I can side with my friend any day." Gohan said. Sunset Shimmer took his hand and stood up, collecting her dropped things. "Now, we need to discuss what actually happened." Gohan said. *** The two were back in the library, sitting in the chairs. "I don't know! This girl named Anon-A-Miss stole the pictures I took when we had slumber parties... She posted them on MyStable, and she made us look like complete idiots! She even stole the picture of you sleeping!" Sunset Shimmer said. "W-Why did you take a picture of me...?" Gohan asked. "We laughed at the fact that you were able to sleep on the hard floor. We wanted to remember with the photo. Anyway, now everyone thinks I'm Anon-A-Miss and she manages to humiliate everyone even more!" Sunset Shimmer said. "Now, be 100% honest with me. You are not Anon-A-Mous, correct?" Gohan asked. "I'm not!" Sunset Shimmer said. "Now, stand still." Gohan said, standing up and placing his hand on her head. He read her memories up until the point of the beginning of December. "Yeah. You aren't Anon-A-Miss." Gohan said, sitting down. "Thank goodness ONE person believes me." Sunset Shimmer said, actually smiling. "Well, then let's try to talk to our friends and finally end this mess!" Gohan said. *** Two people entered Sugarcube Corner. Said people received many dirty looks. The five friends were sitting down in their usual lounge spot. "Hey! Get out! You're not welcome here, Sunset!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed, standing up. "Rainbow Dash, I swear, she is not Anon-A-Miss." Gohan said. "We will require some proof!" Rarity said. "I read her mind. She really isn't." Gohan said. "But there's a lot of compelling evidence!" Rarity said. "Yeah! The pictures Anon-A-Miss, or Sunset posted were from Sunset's phone! Somehow she was able to get test scores, personal moments and everything!" Pinkie Pie said. "Are you all really going to denounce your friendship with her over something she never did?" Gohan asked. "You mean over something she ACTUALLY did? She even convinced you with her lies!" Rainbow Dash said. Sunset Shimmer ran out of the place in tears. "Sunset!" Gohan said. "It's for the best. She used us!" Applejack said. "We thought she was family, that secret stealer!" Pinkie Pie said. Gohan frowned at his friends then slowly walked out of Sugarcube Corner. "How did she get HIM of all people on her side?" Fluttershy asked, very uncharacteristically. *** Sunset Shimmer was leaning into a telephone pole, crying. "Sunset Shimmer." Gohan said. "It's useless. They'll never believe us." Sunset Shimmer said. "They will! I promise, I will prove your innocence!" Gohan said. Sunset Shimmer sniffed. "Y-You would....?" She asked. "Yes, come on, we have a ton of research to do." Gohan said, grabbing Sunset Shimmer's hand and using Instant Transmission. *** The two appeared back in the library. "Huh. I guess teleportation is great!" Sunset Shimmer said. "Let's get down to business. If we want to get our friends to believe you, we have to get to the bottom of this. Just who is Anon-A-Miss?" Gohan asked. "Like a said, nobody knows." Sunset Shimmer said. "Hm... Is there any student who hasn't been affected by Anon-A-Miss?" Gohan asked. "I don't know." Sunset Shimmer said. "I know I'm asking for a lot right now, but can you get a list of every student in the school, and take me to this Anon-A-Miss on the internet?" Gohan asked. "No, it's actually easy." Sunset Shimmer said, using the library computer to access the school website. She printed out a list of every student at CHS. It was a good 9 pages long. Then, she changed it MyStable. She set it to Anon-A-Miss's page. "You look at these." She said. "Thanks." Gohan said. "Also, is everyone mad at each other again?" He asked. "Well, yeah. The school is divided as ever... And everyone thinks it's me!" Sunset Shimmer said. "We're gonna convince them otherwise!" Gohan said, clicking on a picture. "Why are you trying to hard to defend me?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "You're my friend. Of course I'd try so hard to defend you!" Gohan said. "...Thanks, Gohan." Sunset Shimmer said, hugging him. "Do whatever you have to do, I'm staying here." Gohan said. "Uh... You sure?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "The library is my home." Gohan said, grabbing a pen from the cup of pens on the table. He began crossing out names. *** The next morning Sunset Shimmer was asleep on top of books. And Gohan was STILL crossing out names. He kept taking urls of pictures he didn't know the people to and used 'Search by Image' to find the name. Oh god, it's 5:34 AM. Sunset Shimmer actually woke up this fucking early. "Good-... A-Are you still awake?" She asked. "Yep!" Gohan said proudly, crossing out two more names. He just went through a pen and grabbed another. "I narrowed it down to about nine people, and I'm not done yet!" Gohan said. "N-Nine!?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "Have you been up all night?" She asked. "Yep! And surprisingly, the Crusaders happen to be in the top nine." Gohan said. "Really? I'd expect them of all people to be affected by Anon-A-Miss by now." Sunset Shimmer said. "You mean they do equally weird stuff here as they do in Equestria?" Gohan asked. "Yeah. Until they said they found their calling." Sunset Shimmer said. "I'm guessing this happened about a week ago." Gohan said. "Yeah..." Sunset Shimmer said. Gohan crossed out more names. "Six." He said. "Do you think they're behind this?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "No, I wouldn't expect them of all people." Gohan said, clicking. Sunset Shimmer took another look at the paper with the names. "I know Flash Sentry isn't behind this, he was affected." She said. "Really? Good. Five." Gohan said, crossing out his name. Gohan crossed out one more name. "Now, I know you're not Anon-A-Miss, but you and the Crusaders happen to stay on the list." Gohan said. "So it's them?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "From every photo and post Anon-A-Miss posted, you and them have not been shamed yet. I really hope it isn't them." Gohan said. "We have our evidence!" Sunset Shimmer said. "Not yet." Gohan said. "Huh? Why not?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "If we presented this as evidence," Gohan said, flashing the paper. "It would only bring the same amount of suspicion on you and them. Nobody is going to believe you, not even our friends. We can't prove your innocence with memories and talking. We need actual proof that the Crusaders did this." Gohan said. "But how?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "Hm... Let's try to find a motive. Applebloom wasn't happy to call us at Pinkie's Hearth's Warming slumber party..." Gohan said. "That's right... She's also the other person who knows about Applejack being nicknamed as 'Piggly Wiggly!'" Sunset Shimmer said. "Anything else?" Gohan asked. "We had a slumber party at Rarity's, and Rarity put Sweetie Belle to bed early... Hm..." Sunset Shimmer said. "Was she angered?" Gohan asked. "She wasn't happy about it, yeah." Sunset Shimmer said. "We have a motive." Gohan said, grabbing a blank paper. He wrote down the motive of every Crusader except Scootaloo. "Hm... Did Rainbow Dash do anything to Scootaloo?" Gohan asked. "I don't think so." Sunset Shimmer said. "We don't have a strong motive for Applebloom, but a strong one for Sweetie Belle and none for Scootaloo." Gohan said. "Is that enough?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "Definitely not. We have motive, but no real evidence to back it up other than the name list. Hm..." Gohan said, scrolling through the photos and posts again. "I'll save you the time. Most of them are our group of friends. Other than that, just a few per person." Sunset Shimmer said. "Really... Then who would you say did this one about Rainbow?" Gohan asked, pulling up a photo of Rainbow Dash's failed science research paper. "The bench... That was definitely taken on the soccer field... It has to be Scootaloo! Rainbow only lets her into her bag." Sunset Shimmer said. "Great! This is evidence, let's print it out!" Gohan said, right clicking and clicking print. "Is that enough?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "Nope! We still need more evidence. This is a good piece, but it's not enough." Gohan said, taking the picture out of the printer. "What got the girls convinced that you were responsible?" He asked. "Well, Anon-A-Miss got her hands on photos from Rarity's slumber party, all of which I took..." Sunset Shimmer said. "That was the same night Sweetie Belle was put to bed early, correct?" Gohan asked. "Yeah... And only she and Rarity's family were the other people there!" Sunset Shimmer said. Gohan printed only a few pictures. "Perfect. We have proof that Scootaloo could've done it, Sweetie Belle most likely did it, and Applebloom... Not much." Gohan said. "Hm... The only thing we can prove about Applebloom is that she knows about Applejack's secret. That was her first attack." Sunset Shimmer said. "Then..." Gohan said before yawning. "Excuse me." He said, writing it down. "Do you need to sleep? We can continue this tomorrow." Sunset Shimmer said, yawning herself. "Nope! Senzu beans come in handy." Gohan said, reaching into his pouch and grabbing two senzu beans. He handed one to Sunset Shimmer. "Do I have to eat it?" She asked. Gohan ate his, and he was full energy again. "You're still tired, I know. You barely slept last night." He said. Sunset Shimmer shrugged and ate the bean. "This is awesome." She said. "Alright, assessment of the case. Sunset Shimmer - Thought to be Anon-A-Miss. Evidence - Anon-A-Miss has posted photos belonging to Sunset Shimmer. Also, her past actions can add to this. Defense - Thought Applebloom, Sweetie Belle or Scootaloo is Anon-A-Miss. Evidence - Also capable of posting photos and secrets belonging to various people, especially Rainbow Dash, Rarity and Applejack." Gohan said. "...Wow." Sunset Shimmer said. "What?" Gohan asked. "Well... You keep defending me, and this has to be the most you've ever done." Sunset Shimmer said. "We don't need to be all thankful, I don't need it. I just want you guys to be together again." Gohan said. Sunset Shimmer smiled. "You're a good boy." She said. Gohan blushed slightly. "Uh... Thanks. Anyway, we have proof that one of the them could've done it. And Sweetie Belle has the most evidence against her." He said. "Can we gather any more evidence?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "No." Gohan said, shutting off the computer. "Then let's go!" Sunset Shimmer said. "It's still 5:58 AM! I know that people don't come until about 6:30 or 7:00." Gohan said. "Oh. Then... What are we supposed to do until then?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "I don't know." Gohan said. *** 7:00 AM Cafeteria The Mane 5 were sitting down at a table, eating the school breakfast. They were all mad and sad. Rainbow Dash slammed her tray down on the table. She was that mad. "Even Gohan is with her. I bet they're posting new photos now!" Rainbow Dash said. "I-I don't think Gohan would ever do that!... Maybe we were wrong about Sunset Shimmer..." Fluttershy said. "No we weren't. You saw what she did!" Applejack said. "But if someone like Gohan's trying to defend her so much... T-Then I don't know who's side to be on." Fluttershy said. "You broke down into tears because of her!" Pinkie Pie said. This kept going on, The human Crusaders overheard this. "Uh, girls? I think we went too far with this Anon-A-Miss thing." Applebloom said. "The whole school's fighting again." Scootaloo said. "I feel awful. Maybe we should tell." Sweetie Belle said. "Are you crazy? We'll be in so much trouble!" Scootaloo said. "But we might get caught anyway. That kid's helping Sunset. I wish I never got jealous..." Applebloom said. "Me neither." Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle said. Gohan and Sunset Shimmer were in the cafeteria, approaching the five. "What do you want." Rainbow Dash said. "I want to prove Sunset's innocence." Gohan said. "What, by telling us you read her mind? How do we know you're not lying?" Rarity asked. "I won't be using that as my defense, Rarity. In fact, I think this may come as a shocker to you." Gohan said. "H-How?" Rarity asked. "I looked at every single photo and post that Anon-A-Miss posted. From them, I eliminated every single person who was humiliated. The last few people remaining were Sunset Shimmer, Applebloom, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo." Gohan said. "A-Are you accusing my sister!?" Applejack yelled. "Hold on. I'm not done. I suspect that one of the three are Anon-A-Miss." Gohan said. "Girls... Should we tell the truth?" Applebloom asked. "I... I don't know." Scootaloo said. "Applejack, you said your family were the only ones who knew about the pig story, correct?" Gohan asked. "Yeah? And I also told Sunset, and you guys." Applejack said. "Does Applebloom seem a little distant to you?" Gohan asked. "I guess she gets a little more angry than usual... That doesn't prove anything!" Applejack said. "She's one of the few people that knew, Applejack. Now, Rarity, you had a slumber party the day I left, right?" Gohan asked. "Yes." Rarity said. "Did you put Sweetie Belle to bed early, against her wishes?" Gohan asked. "I-I had..." Rarity said. "And who else was there to post these pictures Sunset Shimmer had that night?" Gohan asked, showing the few photos he printed. "M-My family... That's a very well constructed story, but it's still false!" Rarity said. "How? Sweetie Belle had a good motive to be Anon-A-Miss." Gohan said. "W-Well... I guess we cannot rule her out..." Rarity said. "And Rainbow Dash, look at this photo." Gohan said, showing the photo of her failed research paper. "What about it?" She asked. "Where is the location this photo was taken?" Gohan asked. "Well... I can see my bag was opened... The bench and- Scootaloo! She's the only one I let into my bag that day!" Rainbow Dash said. "Was the Junior Soccer Team there that day?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "Yeah... They were!" Rainbow Dash said. "We have three more suspects. Do you still think Sunset Shimmer's the one responsible?" Gohan asked. "Well..." Pinkie Pie said. "Do you really think Sunset Shimmer would do this sort of thing?" Gohan asked. "I think of you as family, girls. I really do. You know me better than anyone. Do you really think the Sunset you know, the REAL Sunset, the one I am now, would do this? Gohan would punch my head off!" Sunset Shimmer said. "T-Then if you're not Anon-A-Miss... Then who is?" Fluttershy asked "Stop." Applebloom said. Everyone looked to the Crusaders. "He's right. It's us." Scootaloo said. Everyone gasped. "Applebloom! How could you!?" Applejack said. "We didn't mean for it to go this far! Honest!" Applebloom said. "But why did you do it...?" Gohan asked. "Because... Because of you and her!" Applebloom said. "Huh?" Gohan and Sunset Shimmer asked. "I was jealous my sister was spending time with her friends instead of her family. I wanted to make you look bad. So I made up Anon-A-Miss and posted the story about Applejack and made it seem like you'd done it." Applebloom said. "Applebloom told me about it... And I felt the same way. So, at Rarity's, while you were asleep, I snuck in, took her phone and downloaded the photos." Sweetie Belle said. Applebloom and Sweetie Belle began to cry. "Anon-A-Miss got way out of hand. People started sending her other secrets, new pictures, and we posted everything." Scootaloo said. "We're so sorry! We had no idea this could happen to you!" Sweetie Belle exclaimed, tackle hugging Sunset Shimmer. "I-It's okay girls! I forgive you! Believe me, I know what it's like to me alone." Sunset Shimmer said, breaking the hug. "You and me both." Gohan said. "Please forgive us big sister! We're really sorry!" Applebloom said with tears in her eyes. Applejack sighed. "You girls... Course I'd forgive you, you're family." She said, hugging her sister. Gohan was very touched. This just reminded him of the Cell Games so much. He couldn't help but actually cry with joy. "Why are you cryin'?" Applebloom asked. "Yeah... I'm actually surprised." Rainbow Dash said. "I-I'm just so happy... You were forgiven..." Gohan sobbed, smiling and wiping his tears. "W- Oh. I see." Applejack said. "What?" Applebloom asked. "I guess you had to be there for it." Applejack said. Sunset Shimmer put a hand on the sobbing Gohan. "Thanks." She said. Gohan gave her a thumbs up. Then went back to crying like a baby. "Oh Gohan, please calm down..." Fluttershy said. "But I'm just so happy!" Gohan sobbed. And Gohan began to glow yellow, indicating his job was done. *** Son Gohan: Ace Attorney. That should be the name of that. When the tryouts for the Friendship Games started, Gohan was instantly accepted. You know, because he can shoot blasts out of his palms and feet and ass? The last one was possibly a joke. He replaced nobody. And now he was participating. But not before this. *** Despite it being almost two years in Equestria, it had been seven on Earth. The inhabitants of Earth were dying. Someone was killing everyone. Earth's greatest warriors, Vegeta, Piccolo, Child Trunks and Goten stood no chance against this threat. Nobody knew what it was! Only about 40 people remained on the planet. Author's Note Who could it be? I may never tell you... Meeting New Family! Gohan has a Brother!?Those nightmares Gohan had were actually visions. Earth was in ruins. Billions of people died in a year. It was odd. Nobody could sense his power level. Piccolo was the first to try and combat this threat. He died with his head remaining. The dragon balls were used again to try and get rid of the creature. Didn't work, it was too strong. Vegeta was next to battle this creature. He died, being obliterated. Krillin, Tien, Yamcha, Chiaotzu even fell this this random creature. Goten and Trunks tried... In vain. They managed to escape it's wrath. But Trunks was eventually caught and killed. Goten was the last capable fighter left on the planet. He and Bulma were taking shelter in a cave. He wore his father's gi with sleeves. It was very torn. He also wore kung fu shoes. Bulma donned a spacesuit from when she went to Namek. After his mother died, Goten searched for the dragon balls. Although his mother explained to him that his brother was a heartless monster, Goku and Bulma explained about the amazing Gohan. It had been a year since they used the dragon balls, so they were trying again. "A-Are we going to find all the dragon balls...?" Goten asked. "Don't worry, Goten. We already have five of them. It won't be long until we can flee to your brother." Bulma said. "Mom said he was evil... But dad said he was the best person alive..." Goten said. "That's because he had a heart of gold, Goten. He was just misunderstood by a lot of people..." Bulma said. "Are you sure he will protect us?" Goten asked. "Goku said so." Bulma said. Goten was feeling scared about meeting his own brother. It was quickly overshadowed by the fact that they could die any minute. "Okay, we've rested up enough. Let's go." Bulma said. *** The creature was on the Lookout. Dende cowered in fear. He had tears in his eyes. "Do you think I'm going to kill you now?" It asked. Dende nodded. "Pah! Don't make me laugh." It said. "Y-You'll spare me...?" Dende asked. The creature laughed. "Only for now." It said. "They may escape, but I will find them." It said, flying away. *** Equestria was fine and dandy! It was morning. Gohan was beginning his day with training. Not before talking to Pinkie Pie. Who happened to be waiting outside his door all night. "Okay, why were you outside my door all night...?" Gohan asked. "BecauseIwannaknowwhoyouretakingtotheGrandGallopingGalathistime!" Pinkie Pie said very quickly. "Uh... Yeah, I don't know a single word you said." Gohan said. "My Pinkie Sense is tingling... Your family is dying!" Pinkie Pie said so happily. Gohan had a confused face. "Are you joking...?" He asked. "I can feel it! Oh well, I don't think it's anything important." Pinkie Pie said. "I-It is! Please tell me you're joking!" Gohan said. "Mmmmaybe." Pinkie Pie said. Gohan sighed. "Good. Now, have a good day." He said. "Okey dokey lokey!" Pinkie Pie said, hopping away. Gohan, wanting to make sure, tried sensing for an extremely strong presence in the universe. He couldn't. 'She must be crazy.' He thought. *** Goten jumped up to the mountain to retrieve the final four star ball. They grouped the dragon balls together. "We're finally going to escape this..." Bulma said. "Now, rise e-" "Greetings." The creature interrupted. The two looked back in horror. "Did you two forget to invite me?" It asked. Goten quickly turned Super Saiyan and lunged at the creature. "HA!" He yelled as he slammed his fist into it's face. The creature didn't flinch and smacked him away. Bulma acted quickly. "Rise! She-" She yelled before a dark blade went through her neck. Blood was dripping out of the throat and mouth of Bulma. Goten looked in horror. The creature laughed as he took the blade away. Bulma's lifeless body collapsed to the ground. Goten had tears in his eyes. First Chi Chi, Trunks, and now Bulma!? The creature laughed again. "I'll... Get you you stupid beast!" Goten yelled, powering up immensely. "Do you really believe such a transformation can stand up to a deity?" It asked. Goten was brimming with rage. He wasn't a Super Saiyan 2, however. You could call it half of that. He instantly charged at the creature, actually managing to damage it. Or so he thought. Eventually Goten smashed his fist into it's stomach. The creature coughed yet laughed. It slid across the ground for a moment. Goten tried again, only to be smacked into the sky, then back at the ground. "Know your place!" It yelled, firing a yellow/black blast at Goten. Goten reacted by firing a Kamehameha. The two blasts clashed. It remained to be equal. Goten was pouring every single ounce of his strength into the attack. The creature barely even tried. In fact, it only fired a weak beam. It only put a little more strength into the blast. Goten was quickly overpowered by the blast. He struggled to keep it from hitting him with his bare hands. He started to scream in pain. The creature laughed. "Perhaps you have learned your place by now! I will enjoy in you in the afterlife." 'Shenron! Please! Take me to my brother, away from this horrible monster!' Goten thought. The dragon balls began to glow yellow. Goten couldn't hold it off any longer. 'Mom... I'm sorry.' He thought. He fainted at that very moment. But, at the exact same time, he vanished. The blast went into the sky. The creature laughed. "Run as you wish. It'll only be soon until I find you again..." It said. *** A white flash appeared in Ponyville. Also, an unconscious body. Many ponies surrounded it. "Who is that?" A pony asked. "Is that Gohan's child?" A pony asked. "Brother?" A pony asked. Rainbow Dash flew as fast as she could to Gohan. *** Gohan was training in the gravity chamber until he felt a random ki in Ponyville. He opened his door to be greeted by Rainbow Dash. "Is someone attacking the village?" Gohan asked. "No. I think this is just as surprising to us as it will be to you..." Rainbow Dash said. Gohan put his hand on Rainbow Dash's face and teleported to Ponyville. "Gohan! Who is this?" Rarity asked. "It looks like a mini Goku..." Fluttershy said. Gohan got a closer look at... "I-Is he a relative of mine...?" Gohan asked. "You mean you don't know either?" Twilight asked. The boy groaned. "He's awake!" Fluttershy said. Then he cried in pain. Gohan pulled out a senzu bean, and got closer to the kid. He sat down and put the crying boy's head on his lap. "Here. Eat up." Gohan said. The boy opened his mouth. Gohan dropped the senzu bean in his mouth. His wounds miraculously healed! He slowly opened his eyes. "W-Where am I..." He asked. "You're safe now." Gohan said. Now he had a better view of Gohan. "A-Are you Gohan....?" He asked. Some ponies gasped. "Um... Yes I am." Gohan said. "Brother!?" He yelled, lunging up and grabbing his shirt. "B-Brother!?" Gohan and everyone else exclaimed. "Gohan... THAT'S your brother!?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Yes! I'm Son Goten!" Goten yelled. "Uh... I'm sorry, but I actually don't know you." Gohan said. "I-Isn't your mom's name Chi Chi!?" Goten asked. "I-It is." Gohan said. "She's my mom too!" Goten said. "Gohan's brother is here!?" Rarity asked, before sighing dramatically and collapsing. "S-So you're... But how are you..." Gohan asked. "Please protect me from the monster!" Goten said, pulling Gohan into an embrace and starting to cry. "M-Monster!? What happened?" Gohan asked. "H-He killed mom, Bulma, Trunks!" Goten cried. 'Those... Were visions.' Gohan thought. "Don't worry, you're safe now. I'm here to protect you, Goten." Gohan said, hugging Goten back. 'Though I really don't know what this monster is.' He thought. "Aw..." The ponies said. Twilight went up to Gohan. "What's going on?" She whispered. "I don't know." Gohan whispered. Goten was still crying into Gohan's chest. Gohan stood up, hugging his little brother. Goten was three quarters the size of Gohan. "Shh... Calm down, Goten. It's okay. I'm here. Shh..." Gohan cooed. "I believe you all can return to your business now." Twilight said. The ponies started to walk away. The rest of the Mane 6 came up to Gohan. Goten finally stopped crying. "Can we see him?" Applejack asked. "Do you want to see my friends, Goten?" Gohan asked. Goten looked up. "S-Sure." He said. Gohan broke the hug and Goten looked around. "He's adorable!" Fluttershy said. "He looks just like his father." Rarity said. "Everyone says that." Goten said, looking down at the ground. "Are y'all okay?" Applejack asked. "No..." Goten said. "Goten, I wish I could stop the monster for you but I don't know where he could be." Gohan said. "B-But..." Goten said. "Remember, darling. You're safe now!" Rarity said. "Is everyone here a pony...?" Goten asked. "Yeah. There's also gryphons." Rainbow Dash said. "He's just super duper mega ultra cute Gohan!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed. Goten blushed in embarrassment. Gohan put his hand on Goten's shoulder. "How old are you?" He asked. "I'm six." Goten said. "Then... Huh?" Gohan asked. "I was told you defeated Cell like, seven or eight years ago." Goten said. "It's only been over a year..." Gohan said. "I need to get a welcome party started!" Pinkie Pie said, zipping away. "Well, Goten? What would you like to do?" Gohan asked. "Um... I'm hungry..." Goten said. "Well, shoot! Let's get down to Sweet Apple Acres!" Applejack said. "There's a lot of food there!" Gohan said. *** Goten was given a small meal, just enough plates to cover a table. Gohan also joined in the feast... "This really reminds me of when his father came." Fluttershy said. Goten finished, surprisingly. He only got through half the table. "Thank you very much..." Goten said. "It's not a problem!" Applejack said. "Every one of my friends are amazing, Goten. In fact, I think they're your friends too." Gohan said, finishing up Goten's remaining food. "Yeah, I know, we're awesome." Rainbow Dash said. Goten still seemed sad. "Goten." Gohan said. "Y-Yes?" Goten asked. Gohan wrapped his arm around Goten. "Don't be sad. Mom will come back some day. Trunks, Bulma, even Vegeta will." He said. "D-Do you promise?" Goten asked. Gohan thought for moment. 'I guess it's an attempt to get back to Earth...' He thought. "Promise." Gohan said. This confused his friends, but they didn't say anything. Goten actually cheered up, and he hugged Gohan back. "Aw!" Everyone said. *** Gohan and Goten did some bonding that day. Goten got some fixed clothing from Rarity. It wasn't weighted, but it was the same overall. Then, Goten actually trained with Gohan. They were in a wasteland. "Well, Goten, do you know what a Super Saiyan is?" Gohan asked. "Yep! Dad was one!" Goten said. "Yes! He was the first Super Saiyan. And I'm also a Super Saiyan!" Gohan said. "Show me!" Goten said. Gohan turned Super Saiyan. "S-Since mom isn't here, can I be like you?" Goten asked. "Uh... What do you mean?" Gohan asked. "You know, the gold hair and the super strength. I want to be a Super Saiyan too!" Goten said. Gohan chuckled. "You're going to have to wait until you're a bit older. It takes years of training to become a Super Saiyan! It took me until I was 11 years old before dad taught me how to transform. Of course, I am the youngest Super Saiyan ever, you might need more time." He said. Gohan looked and was shocked immediately. Goten began powering up, and actually turned into a Super Saiyan! Gohan couldn't believe it! "G-Goten! You're a... You're a Super Saiyan!" Gohan said, pointing a finger at Goten. "Oh my gosh, this is unbelievable!" He added. Gohan stared in awe. Goten's aura stopped flaring. "Incredible! Whoa, man! When in the world did this happen!? Since when!?" Gohan asked. "Hm... I don't remember!" Goten said. "You... Huh? Anyway, this is crazy! You're such a natural Goten, my goodness! Dad and I had to struggle really hard to become a Super Saiyan! And Vegeta, what a case he was! So, how'd you like to be my sparring partner? Is that okay?" Gohan asked. Goten smiled brightly. "Yeah!" He said. "Do you know about sparring form?" Gohan asked. "Mom taught me about it. I loved that one!" Goten said. "Mom trained you?" Gohan asked. Goten nodded. "Everyday!" He said. Gohan cocked his head in confusion. 'Mom sure has changed.' He thought. "Hey, sport. Does mom know about you being a Super Saiyan?" Gohan asked. Goten nodded. "Wait, I remember how I became a Super Saiyan now!" He said. "Really? How?" Gohan asked. "Well, she was training me. And for some reason I wouldn't counter. I was too much of a wuss. Eventually she was able to kick me, and I don't know how, but I turned into a Super Saiyan and kicked her back! I ran to her, but she started to cry, saying I was a delinquent and a monster. I guess it's a bad thing." Goten said. Gohan chuckled. "Don't worry about it! It's not. In the right hands, evil can be stopped with it!" He said. "Really!? Then being a Super Saiyan is awesome!" Goten said. 'Boy, he was quick to forget about whatever monster killed mom.' Gohan thought. "Alright Goten, show me what you got!" Gohan said. Goten let out a war cry as he jumped up and tried to kick Gohan. Goten kept on with his assault, attacking Gohan from every corner. Gohan heavily suppressed himself. Just to make Goten feel strong. He dodged, blocked, and let Goten land a few hits. Eventually it escalated to nearby plateaus, and Gohan was backed into those. Destroying them. He jumped on top of one, then it collapsed because of the collision of a fist and an arm. Gohan began to fly up. "Hey! Flying's cheating! You're no fun, stop cheating and come back down here!" Goten yelled. "What? How is it cheating to fly?" Gohan asked. "Because I can't fly so how am I supposed to keep fighting?" Goten asked. "Huh? Please tell me that you're kidding!" Gohan said. "You randomly figured out how to go Super Saiyan, but you can't fly? Not even a little?" Gohan asked. "Stop making fun!" Goten said. "Sorry!" Gohan said, going back to ground level with Goten. 'Kids these days. Doing it all backwards.' He thought. "Teach me how to fly!" Goten said. "...Actually, I have a better idea." Gohan said. "What is it?" Goten asked. "I have students who will learn how to fly soon. Why don't you join them?" Gohan asked. "And we can take a break, you seem to be a little tired." Gohan said. "You'll teach me then?" Goten asked. "Yeah! I'll teach you how to zip through the sky with me in a flash!" Gohan said. "Yay! Yay! Thank you Gohan!" Goten exclaimed as he ran around and did fucking backflips in joy. "I'm gonna learn how to fly~! I'm gonna learn how to fly~!" Goten sang. Gohan chuckled. 'I wish I were that way when I first came here. He really cheered up fast.' He thought. 'Oh. Crapbaskets, he needs a mattress. Oh, I'll have to upgrade the house.' Gohan thought. "Hey, what are you thinking about?" Goten asked. "I'm thinking about how you'll be living here." Gohan said. "Why?" Goten asked. "You'll need a new mattress and we'll probably need a bigger home." Gohan said. "Is yours too small?" Goten asked. "Oh definitely. It barely fits a small bed." Gohan said. Gohan turned back into base form. "Maybe we should head into town for something like that." Gohan said. "Okay!" Goten said, reverting back to his base form. *** Now they were back at the tiny shack. "Wow. It's small." Goten said. "Tonight, you'll be on the bed." Gohan said, opening the door. There was a sink, dishes, a giant pot, a rice cooker, bags and bags of rice, a bed and a closet. That's it. "Wow. It's even smaller on the inside." Goten said. "Yeah, I'll be on the floor tonight." Gohan said. Then a knock came on the door. "Letter for Gohan!" Derpy Hooves said, grabbing the letter with her mouth. "Right here." Gohan said, taking the letter. Derpy waved at Goten before flying away. "Who was that?" Goten asked. "Her name is Derpy. She's a mailpony, or a mailman." Gohan said. "Okay." Goten said. Gohan opened the letter. "Hey! Two tickets to the Grand Galloping Gala!" He said. "What's the Grand Galloping Gala?" Goten asked. "A big party for important people." Gohan said. "Are you important?" Goten asked. "Yeah, but not as important as you, sport." Gohan said. "You want to come?" He asked. "Sure!" Goten said. "You'll get to meet Princess Celestia and Princess Luna." Gohan said. "You know princesses?" Goten asked. "Four, actually." Gohan said. "Ooh. That's cool." Goten said. "It's in a few days and- Oh, that's right, we need to go." Gohan said. "Why?" Goten asked. "You'll see." Gohan said, grabbing Goten and walking out of the shack. *** Gohan took Goten to Sugarcube Corner. "Why are we in a gingerbread house?" Goten asked. Gohan chuckled as he opened the door, getting exactly what he expected. "SURPRISE!" Everyone yelled. "It's a welcome party!" Gohan exclaimed. "A welcome party?" Goten asked. "Yeah, silly! We have games, cake, drinks, more cake, and most of all, FUN!" Pinkie Pie cheered, jumping up and making confetti fly. Goten smiled brightly. The rest of the night was spent having fun like there was no tomorrow. *** On Earth. The pink creature killed the last human on Earth. "Now... Time for the next planet." It said. "Those mortals better prepare themselves. Especially the boy." It said before laughing. Author's Note I wanted to add Goten in the story for a while now. Without making it seem like a stupid reason. This one was a stupid reason but, I tried. Making time go by slower in Equestria and giving Goten a reason to escape to Gohan seemed good to me. Also, Goten would really help out the Mane 6 with some upcoming troubles... Some friendship CAN'T solve. Goten has a power level of 98,000,000, and Super Saiyan is 4,900,000,000. The creature? It's a he and it's... It's not THAT bad. Yeah, his base form is 9,700,000,000,000 isn't so bad... And yes, I said base. Lastly, he's coming back. The Grand Galloping Gala... AgainEver since Goten came, Gohan has probably got a little too protective. Not in the: 'You shouldn't talk to my brother.' Way but the staying up almost all night every night watching over him way. Mainly because... The creature. 'Is it beyond my power? Is it ever coming to Equestria?' Gohan thought. He always thought that until he fell asleep on the floor and woke up very early. He couldn't afford an upgrade to the house yet, but he was close. It was time for the Grand Galloping Gala. 'His first, huh.' Gohan thought. So, Goten needed new clothes and some kind of formal wear. Once Goten woke up, Gohan made him a nice rice and vegetable breakfast and then took him to Rarity's boutique. *** "Oh, your first Grand Galloping Gala!" Rarity exclaimed. "The excitement, the anticipation! I wouldn't miss this for all the jewels in Equestria!" She said, putting a bow on Sweetie Belle's dress. She had just spent her time making dresses for the Crusaders. All that was left was her friends, including Goten. Rainbow Dash and Applejack were playing Harmony. "We're going to the Gala~! We're going to the Gala~!" Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle exclaimed while hopping. Gohan and Goten just opened the doors! Gohan was carrying his own formal wear. He planned to wear it on top of his gi again. "Oh! Gohan and Goten! Come in!" Rarity said. "Goten?" Scootaloo asked. "Hey everyone." Gohan said. The two fillies looked at Goten. "Uh... Did one of Gohan's relatives visit?" Sweetie Belle asked. "You could say that, darling." Rarity said. "He's my brother!" Gohan said. "Why don't you talk to the other kids?" He asked. Goten was a little scared to but walked over to the dressed fillies anyway. "Um... Hi." Goten said. "Hello." Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle said. "I'm Goten..." Goten said awkwardly. "I'm Scootaloo." Scootaloo said. "I'm Sweetie Belle." Sweetie Belle said. "Um... How are you today?" Goten asked. "Good, good. We're going to the Gala!" Scootaloo said. "I heard it was a party for very important people." Goten said. "And you are correct, Goten! Now, would you like a tuxedo or something similar to Gohan's formal wear?" Rarity asked. "OOH! I know! Can I draw it?" Goten asked. "Well, sure, darling!" Rarity said, using her magic to grab a pencil and paper. She also grabbed crayons because why not? She laid it down on the table. Gohan looked and smiled. 'I guess being a big brother does have it's moments.' He thought. "We're going to the Gala~! We're going to the Gala~!" Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo began singing again. "Alright y'all. Keep it down. It ain't like it's a life changing experience or nothi...." Applejack said, watching Applebloom emerge from the changing booth. Then she had some change in her talk. "My little sister's all grown up!" Applejack said with tears. She blew her nose into Rainbow Dash's tail, hilariously. "Hey!" Rainbow Dash yelled, pulling her tail away. "Uh... Did one of Gohan's relatives come by?" Applebloom asked the Crusaders. "That's Gohan's brother." Scootaloo said. "Him? A brother? Now that is interesting." Applebloom said. Goten finished drawing his photo. He handed it to Rarity. "My assumption was correct! Being an artist runs in the family!" Rarity said, marveling at Goten's superb work. "Thank you." Goten said. "I shall fashion this immediately!" Rarity said, taking all kinds of measurements for Goten. "W-What's happening?" Goten asked. "She's taking some more measurements so she can make you some clothes." Gohan said. "Okay." Goten said. Rarity finished and began grabbing all sorts of fabric and threads and needles. "I'm going in the changing booth." Gohan said, doing just that. The Crusaders went to Goten. "Has Gohan taught you how to fly?" Scootaloo asked. Goten shook his head. "He will, though." He said. "How strong are you against Gohan?" Applebloom asked. "I don't know..." Goten said. "Are they just trying to make small talk to him? Or..." Applejack whispered to Rainbow Dash. "Beats me. I'm still surprised Gohan's brother of all ponies came." Rainbow Dash whispered. Gohan stepped out of the booth. "Same look as always, huh Gohan?" Applejack asked. "Yep!" Gohan said, sporting his Super Saiyan look with his formal wear. https://t00.deviantart.net/Cd3AqpNkMVGG09Wav8m2_7okeiw=/fit-in/700x350/filters:fixed_height(100,100):origin()/pre00/da5b/th/pre/f/2016/366/e/1/gohan_by_tch023-datos61.png "Wow! Gohan, you look just like you in that photo of you and dad eating pasta!" Goten said. "Is he joking?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Nope!" Gohan said. "I am finished!" Rarity said. "Wow. That was quick." Rainbow Dash said. Rarity put Goten's formal wear in his arms. "Now go into that booth and change into these!" Rarity said a little too excitedly. Goten went into the booth. "I wonder what he drew." Gohan said. "You'll see." Rarity said. "Maybe you'll have the same reaction as Applejack over here. And I'm not letting you use my tail!" Rainbow Dash said. Gohan chuckled. The Crusaders awaited Goten's new attire. Goten emerged from the booth with his gi neatly folded in his hands. https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/e1/2e/e3/e12ee374d0e1c4f95e6cad176e376957.png Gohan was very happy. "You look amazing!" He said. "Golly! He looks good!" Applebloom said. "Yeah, it looks historical and stuff." Scootaloo said. "Yeah, he's cool." Rainbow Dash said. Goten walked over to the Crusaders and climbed on top of the rising floor where they were. The trio began to sing "We're going to the Gala~!" Again. Goten kind of joined in with a small volume. Discord was creeping around. He turned his eye into a mirror. "This is gonna be the best night ever!" The trio yelled. The four were creeped out and screamed. They also ran towards their sisters/brother/sisterly pony. Discord shortened his eye to normal size again. "Discord!" Gohan yelled. Goten was clinging on to Gohan. "I don't suppose these adorable little- Huh?" Discord asked, looking at Gohan and Goten. "Did one of your relatives visit, Gohan?" Discord asked. "My brother is here, yes. And you scared him!" Gohan said. "My apologies. I don't suppose these little adorable cutie pies have their own tickets to the Gross Gruesome Gala, do they?" Discord asked, patting Applebloom's head. Applebloom smacked his hand away and stuck her tongue at him. "Ahem. To answer your rather rude question, they're going as our dates! Our plus ones!" Rarity said, wrapping a hoof around Sweetie Belle. "We're plus ones~! We're plus ones~!" The trio began to sing yet again. Discord stuck his antler and horn into his ears. "Yes, yes, yes! I believe I got that!" He said, teleporting away in jealousy. "Gohan? Who was that?" Goten asked. "Discord, god of chaos, now reformed." Gohan said. "He scares me." Goten said, clinging onto Gohan tighter. "Don't worry, he's actually nice." Gohan said. *** It was the Grand Galloping Gal! And it was boring as ever, Jesus. So I'm going to entertain you with a story a priest told me. And Jesus said: "You fool!" And he fired the Kamehameha, and destroyed Lucifer! Okay back to the story. So the Gala was filled with sophisticated ponies. Twilight and Celestia were atop a staircase chatting away. "I must say, it's been very nice having you take over some of the planning responsibilities for this year's Gala." Celestia said. "Anything I can do to make things easier on you." Twilight said. "Thank you, Twilight. I am quite looking forward to just enjoying the Gala for once." Celestia said. Gohan and Goten approached the two. "Princess Celestia!" Gohan exclaimed. "Gohan! Who is this?" Celestia asked, bowing her head so that her head was on the same level as Goten. "This is my brother Goten!" Gohan said. "H-Hello ma'am." Goten said, cowering again. "Don't be afraid, little one. I am absolutely honored that you are here tonight." Celestia said. "Thank you." Goten said. "How old are you?" Celestia asked. "I'm six." Goten said. "Great! I hope you enjoy the rest of the Grand Galloping Gala." Celestia said. "Thank you, princess." Goten said. Then a horn was played. "Announcing the spirit of chaos: Discord! And his guest, uh..." The stallion yelled. Discord whispered something into his ear. "The Smooze!" He yelled. The Smooze was this weird slime creature that smiled. It had a red bow tie and a blue top hat. Ponies and people were absolutely repulsed by it. Discord sported an orange tux with a red bow tie and an orange hat. "Good evening, everypony! What a glorious affair!" Discord exclaimed. The Smooze ate a trumpet. "He does like shiny things, the little rascal." Discord said. "Gohan, I'm scared." Goten said, clinging on to Gohan. "To be fair, this is equally as scary for me as it is for you, Goten." Gohan said. "Uh... I will handle this." Twilight said, flying to Discord. She also dragged him to a secluded location. "What are you doing here with- That!?" Twilight whispered. "Now, now, now. The Smooze may be it, but it's it with a heart of, well, blob." Discord said. The Smooze slowly moved across the floor, grossing out everyone with not only it's presence but it's residue. "This night is extremely important to me Discord!" Twilight said, referring to Celestia. "Especially Gohan! His brother is here! So keep it under control." She added. "Yes, yes, yes, of course. Tell me, have you seen Fluttershy anywhere?" Discord asked, walking away. "Gohan." Celestia said. "Yes, princess?" Gohan asked. "How did Goten get here?" Celestia whispered. "The same way I did, with a magical wish granting dragon." Gohan whispered. Celestia nodded. "Is your current abode large enough to sustain you two?" She asked. "Not really, but we managed to make it work out." Gohan said. "I will provide a larger property for you." Celestia said. "Really?" Gohan asked. "It's one of the least things I can do to repay you." Celestia said. "Wow... Thank you, princess." Gohan said. Celestia nodded. "We're at the Gala~!" The Crusaders sang and they entered with Applejack, Rainbow Dash and Rarity. Discord fed the Smooze with a diamond, making it a little bigger. He saw Fluttershy talking to Treehugger at a table. So he barged in on their conversation. He tried 'accidentally' bumping into Fluttershy. "Oh Fluttershy! I didn't see you there." Discord said. Fluttershy was still talking to Treehugger. "How did you even know to look for an ore on a waterfall?" Fluttershy asked. "Ahem." Discord said. He said it louder. Then he said it so fucking dramatically that it finally got the damn attention of Fluttershy who gets scared by a damn leaf touching her back but wasn't scared by Discord 'bumping' into her. Sorry. "Discord! I thought you weren't coming!" Fluttershy said. "No. I actually never said that." Discord said. And then Discord, Fluttershy and Treehugger decided to have a nice conversation. "But funny how you remembered it that way- Anyway, good to see you, Tree... Friend, is it? Your name is slipping my mind right now, how strange." Discord said. "Nice to meet you. I'm Treehugger." Treehugger said, lifting one hoof up. "You have MET me before, actually!" Discord said, snorting. "Cool! Like, in another life, maybe?" Treehugger asked. You can definitely tell she's on weed. "You've got to be kidding! You don't remember ME?" Discord asked, then taking his hat off to show his antler and horn. Treehugger chuckled slightly. "I meet a lot of different creatures... I'm very interested... In those two over there... Never seen that before..." She said, slowly pointing a hoof at Gohan and Goten. "Oh, that's Gohan and his little brother Goten. They're very nice." Fluttershy said. "Yes, yes, yes, anyway, as I was saying, it's just great" Discord said, wrapping an arm around Fluttershy. "to be with my OLDEST, BESTEST friend." He said. "Am I really your oldest, bestest friend?" Fluttershy asked, gleeful. "You?" Discord asked before laughing. "Of course not! You think I don't have other friends? I'm centuries old! I was talking about the Smooze!" He said, showing Fluttershy to the blob. "Smoozeface, the Smoozinator! Well, I mean, that's what we called him back in college." Discord said. He made the Smooze appear on top of the table. "Smooze! This is Fluttershy and... Hm... What was it, Tree... Embrace?" Discord asked, trying to aggravate Treehugger. It failed. "Oh, I like that! It's so in rhythm with my life force... Maybe I'll change it!" Treehugger said. Fluttershy giggled. "I can't believe I've never heard of you talk about the Smooze before!" She said, poking it as it slid off the table. "It sounds like you two are so close!" She said. "Well, I'm glad you got that." Discord said, crossing his arms. "Because that's what is true! We are!" He said, teleporting to the Smooze and hugging it. "Very close." He said. "That's wonderful! The four of us should go out to dinner sometime!" Fluttershy said. Discord accidentally hugged it so hard that it got squeezed in half. It quickly formed together again. "We should all go to dinner sometime!? Have you no heart!?" Discord asked. Then a scream could be heard. The Smooze was inching closer to two elderly ponies. "Oh! Well it looks like some ponies want to mingle, we'll be back!" Discord said, floating away. "Oh, okay! Treesie and I would like to talk to you more later!" Fluttershy said. Then Discord returned. "Treesie? Really? Sort of a juvenile name, don't you think?" He asked. Then glass shattered and a scream was heard again. "Smoozie! Wait up!" Discord said, being the hypocrite he is. Gohan and Goten were staying with Celestia until Goten decided that he wanted to go somewhere. "This isn't very fun." Goten said. "I know, the last time I was here I just flew around the entire time." Gohan said. "Can we do that?" Goten whined. "Sure. Why not?" Gohan asked. The two started to walk toward the entrance, where Goten jumped on top of Gohan's back. Gohan was giving him a piggyback ride. Now they flew around Canterlot, giving Goten a sense of adventure. "Whee!" Goten yelled, laughing as well. Gohan still couldn't help but feel bad and scared about the monster who destroyed all of Earth's fighters. He couldn't sense anything unusually large. During that, Discord stuck the Smooze outside the Gala where Rarity was. She screamed because the blob took her gems from her dress and she was covered in sticky residue. She burst through the doors. "That creature took my jewels!" Rarity yelled. The Smooze was also doing that to another pony. "Discord! I thought I told you to keep your friend under control!" Twilight said. "Do you want me to get Gohan!?" She asked. "Oh please, I have better things to do than to watch that thing all night." Discord said. He noticed Fluttershy and Treehugger were RIGHT next to him. "What I mean to say is, I'll make sure none of his residue gets on anypony..." Discord said, grabbing a vacuum cleaner and sucking up Rarity's dress. Rarity trotted away in embarrassment. "Thank you! It's alright, everypony! Let's get back to enjoying this magical evening!" Twilight exclaimed. And Gohan was still flying. "Faster! Faster!" Goten yelled. Gohan did just that. "Fastest!" Goten yelled. "Are you sure about that?" Gohan asked. "Yep!" Goten said. Then the two flew around Canterlot over fifteen times in like, 3 seconds. "Too fast! Too fast!" Goten yelled. Gohan slowed down. "You're really fast! I bet nobody can beat you!" Goten said. "Well, I don't know about that." Gohan said. During that, Discord stuck the Smooze in a closet full of gold and diamonds. He even did a stand up comedy show which everyone loved! Just kidding. He was embarrassed. And the Smooze BURST out of the closet, INCREDIBLY enlarged! It also stuck everyone to the ground. Even Rainbow Dash couldn't get out. Twilight's magic did nothing, too. Celestia's horn was rendered useless. Rarity was scared about her shoes being ruined. Pinkie Pie was using her sister Maud Pie as a boat. Fluttershy and Treehugger were stuck to the wall. Gohan sensed a disturbance. "We're going back." He said. "Okay." Goten said. Gohan flew towards the party and- "What happened!?" Gohan asked. "It's icky!" Goten yelled. "Gohan! Blast it!" Twilight yelled. Gohan fired a blast at it. Barely did anything. "I mean do the Kamehameha!" Twilight said. "I'll destroy Canterlot if I did that at the ground!" Gohan said. Nobody knew how to fix it. Then Goten had a great idea. "Gohan, I know how we can get it in one place!" He said. "Really? How?" Gohan asked. Goten leaped off of Gohan and turned Super Saiyan. He ran around the Smooze at breakneck speeds. The Smooze was being piled together, as were the ponies. "Gohan! Get the ponies out!" Goten said. Gohan did just that. The teamwork was superb. Gohan managed to get all of the ponies out of it's icky grasp while Goten pushed it all into one blob. "Good job, you two!" Twilight said. "But what will we do about this ick!?" Rarity asked. "Oh yes. We're still stuck to the wall..." Fluttershy said. "I know... Like, the Smooze has a harshed flow... Like, his senses are agitated..." Treehugger said. Goten and Gohan were both trapping the Smooze with their aura. Discord appeared in front of Treehugger. "You don't know anything about rare creatures! I've known Smoozeface for ages, he's not agitated! He's partying down!" He said, dancing. "All he needs is like, some auditory therapy." Treehugger said. "Hey, banana hair creatures. Like, stop running around it. I, will calm it." She added. "You sure!?" Gohan asked. "I know. He'll calm down with some sonic bless." Treehugger said. "Do you even know what you just said!?" Discord asked. Gohan and Goten stopped circling the Smooze, and it seemed like it was ready to go around again. Then Treehugger started singing some weird thing. All of the Smooze's residue and ick started to go in one place. Fluttershy and Treehugger were off the walls. "Let go, Smooze. Bliss out." Treehugger said before singing again. Now every single bit of the Smooze was in one place. "Wow! That was cool!" Goten said, powering down. "It worked!" Twilight said. Everyone cheered for Treehugger. "That was the most magical thing I've ever seen done with animals!" Fluttershy said. Discord was jealous as hell. "Well, thanks, everypony, it makes perfect sense that your magic doesn't work on him, he only responds to vibrations that peace out his energy fields..." Treehugger said. "THAT'S IT! I've had enough of you, Treehugger!" Discord yelled, appearing in front of Treehugger. "Oh man... You're really bumming me out. Can you, like, lower your voice a skosh?" Treehugger asked. "A skosh!? A SKOSH!?" Discord asked, ripping a hole in the plane of existence to another. He made Treehugger float to the hole. "Discord! Let her down before I- I mean, we turn you to stone!" Gohan yelled. Treehugger was scared. "Whoa! What is that!?" She asked, pointing at the weird cloth snake with googly eyes. "Relax! I'm not going to hurt you! I'm just going to send you to another dimension! I can't have you interfering with my relationship with Fluttershy anymore!" Discord said. "Let her down, you big meanie!" Goten yelled. "Meanie!?" Discord asked. "Stop it, Discord!" Fluttershy yelled, flying up to Discord. "I will! Just as soon as she's gone. Then we'll have a good laugh," Discord said, making a table, chairs and tea appear. "about this whole affair with our regular Tuesday Teas!" He said. Fluttershy was clearly not happy. "Don't worry, Fluttershy! We'll stop him!" Twilight said, standing with the rest of the Mane 6. Discord threw at shiny disco ball at them, making the Smooze envelop them all. "Discord! I swear!" Gohan yelled, beginning to charge up his Kamehameha. "I'm doing her a favor, Fluttershy! It's a lovely dimension!" Discord said, then making a slideshow appear. "Sand beaches, the attentive wait staff, I mean, okay! The humidity isn't great, but isn't that the case these days?" Discord asked. Gohan had his Kamehameha at full charge. "Gohan, hold your fire! Discord, I don't understand why you're doing this! We were all getting along so well!" Fluttershy shouted. "As well as we COULD! Considering you've already stomped all over our friendship by inviting HER to the biggest night of the year! It's as if I DIDN'T MATTER at all!" Discord shouted. "Did you REALLY think I'd abandon you just because I had a new FRIEND!?" Fluttershy shouted. "YES! Because that's what you did!" Discord retorted. "No! Discord! I invited a friend to a party! I didn't abandon you! What if you had a friend that you could discuss chaos based magic with? Would that mean we weren't friends anymore!?" Fluttershy shouted. "A- Well, no, I suppose not." Discord stammered. "It would just mean I have different friends for different things- Oh. Oh dear... I appears I overreacted just a skosh." Discord said. "More like a LOT of skoshes! Treehugger, could you give us a minute?" Fluttershy asked. Treehugger smiled and nodded. Gohan stopped his Kamehameha. "Why'd you stop?" Goten asked. "You'll see." Gohan said. "I'm just so new to this friendship thing... It's so much more complicated that it looks." Discord said. "Do you think you MAYBE owe somepony an apology?" Fluttershy asked. Discord made a flower appear for Fluttershy, but she whacked it away. "Not me!" Fluttershy said. "Oh! Oh, yes, right." Discord said, closing the portal and letting Treehugger land on a soft pillow. He then pulled all of the gold and gems the Smooze happened to eat and returned it. He apologized to Treehugger, and as expected, he was forgiven. The party was going on as usual again, and Discord even apologized to the Smooze for using him. Then the Smooze kissed him on the cheek. Now everyone was dancing on the dance floor. Except Gohan, he just did not want to dance. Goten was doing goofy dances with the Crusaders and Pinkie Pie. 'This has to be just the best Gala ever!' Gohan thought. Mission complete: Make Goten's first Gala amazing. Now, Gohan's going to the Friendship Games! Equestria Girls: The Friendship GamesGohan and Goten were training outside. They were not Super Saiyans. "Gohan? How strong are you compared to me? Please don't lie." Goten said. "Do you really want me to be honest?" Gohan asked. Goten nodded and smiled. "Okay, I am stronger than a regular Super Saiyan without going Super Saiyan." Gohan said. "Really!?" Goten asked. "You're super strong!" He said. "Well, thanks." Gohan said. Then, Gohan realized he had an obligation in the human world. "Goten, we have to cut training short." Gohan said. "But why?" Goten whined. "Well, I have a duty somewhere. Want to come? It'll be fun." Gohan said. "Sure!" Goten said, running after Gohan. "And can we fly this time? I like that better than teleporting." He said. *** Gohan and Goten were in Twilight's castle, when... Nobody was in the castle. Gohan didn't pay too much attention to that. The two stood in front of the portal. "Goten, this leads to a new world. It's awesome. It replaces all of the ponies here with humans." Gohan said. "Really? That's cool! Let's go in!" Goten yelled. Gohan chuckled. "Yeah. Let's." He said as the two entered the mirror. *** Rainbow Dash and Applejack were outside on the school steps. So were the Crusaders. Rainbow Dash had just called all of the Humane 6 to the steps. Rarity, Sunset Shimmer, Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie ran to them as fast as they could. "I got your text, Rainbow Dash!" Sunset Shimmer said. "Did something come through the portal? Is Equestrian magic on the loose? Did Twilight or Gohan come back with a problem only WE can solve!?" She asked. Pinkie Pie appeared with cupcakes. "OR A GIANT CAKE MONSTER THAT COVERS THE WORLD IN CAKE!?" She yelled, eating the cupcakes. "Um... Not exactly." Rainbow Dash said, taking her guitar out of her case. "Uh... I don't understand." Sunset Shimmer said. "Well, Sunset, I was just telling Rainbow Dash here that a broken guitar string doesn't really qualify as an emergency." Applejack said. "It totally does!" Rainbow Dash retorted. "Really, Rainbow Dash, I was in the middle of sewing a very complex appliqué on my latest frock!" Rarity said, wearing glasses and measuring tape. "And I was just about to tuck everyone in for the night at the animal shelter." Fluttershy said, petting the bunny Angel. "Now I'll have to start stories all over again." She said. "Why would you send all of us an emergency text for a guitar string?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "Well, I was going to pony up and show our fans some awesome guitar links... But I kind of need all six strings to do it. Got any extra?" Rainbow Dash asked. Everyone groaned. Sunset Shimmer pulled a guitar string out of her bag. "Here. But everyone finished practicing for the day, I'm pretty sure all the music rooms are locked." She said. "No problem! The acoustics in the hallway are perfect for power cords!" Rainbow Dash said, playing the guitar with a new string. Then someone emerged from the portal. "Hey! It's Gohan!" Rainbow Dash said. Everyone turned to Gohan. "Hey! Goten, get out of limbo!" Gohan whispered. "I like limbo!" Goten whined. Gohan sighed as he reached in and pulled out Goten. "Hey Gohan. Who's your friend?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "He's my brother, Goten." Gohan said. Everyone looked in shock. "Uh... Did I just hear Gohan right?" Applejack asked. "You have a brother!?" Everyone asked. Goten hid behind Gohan. Gohan chuckled. "Yeah, I do. He's cool!" He said. "Come on, Goten. It's the same people we know over there." He added. Goten finally stopped cowering and took a peek. "Hi." He said. "Oh, he's adorable!" Rarity said. "Wow! I never expected you of all people to have a brother, Gohan." Rainbow Dash said. "Well, I knew he was born, but he came suddenly so much older than I anticipated." Gohan said. "Anyway, I was about to give our fans a show. You in?" Rainbow Dash asked. Goten nodded. "Then come on!" Rainbow Dash said, opening the doors to the school. "Wait, Gohan." Sunset Shimmer said. Everyone but Gohan and Sunset Shimmer entered. "You two coming?" Applejack asked. "We'll come in a second." Sunset Shimmer said. The door closed. "S-So, how's life?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "Oh, the same. Random stuff keeps happening. There's a monster who happened to kill my family on Earth, but, you know." Gohan said. "That sounds horrible!" Sunset Shimmer said. "It's why he's here." Gohan said. "Um..." Sunset Shimmer said. Gohan looked at Sunset Shimmer quizzically. "Is something wrong?" He asked. "No!" Sunset Shimmer shouted nervously. It was a random outburst. "Oh... Well, uh... How are you?" Gohan asked. "I-I'm good..." Sunset Shimmer said. She was acting really nervous. "Is... Is there any specific reason why you wanted to talk to me?" Gohan asked. Sunset Shimmer nodded and blushed. "Er... Okay... Is it some kind of-" Gohan said before he felt a presence approach the school. He turned around to see a hooded person pulling out some weird contraption. "So... Any idea who that is?" Gohan asked, pointing at the person in question. "Uh... No." Sunset Shimmer said. The person pointed the weird device at the portal, and touched it. "Hey!" Gohan said. The person immediately ran away. "Hey! Come back!" Sunset Shimmer yelled, about to run after the person. "No, let whoever that is go. Feels familiar, though." Gohan said. The person ran into a bus. "How so?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "It just felt like someone I know." Gohan said. On the bus, this person removed their hood. It was the Twilight Sparkle of this world. She wore glasses and had her hair in a bun. She sighed. The bus dropped her off at Crystal Prep Academy. Twilight entered the school and her lab. She had been conducting research on CHS because of the random magical occurrences. "I'm just going to go inside if that's okay." Gohan said. "Um... Okay. I'll be in in a second." Sunset Shimmer said. Gohan went inside the school while Sunset Shimmer sat on the steps again. She sighed and wrote a letter to Twilight. "Dear Princess Twilight, How's life treating you in Equestria? Any cool new magic spells? Monsters Gohan beat? When did Gohan's brother visit? We were pretty surprised to see someone like him have a little brother. You haven't told him my secret, have you? I just tried telling him and I got too nervous. It's been pretty quiet here at CHS since the Battle of the Bands. We still pony up when we play music, which Rainbow Dash LOVES to show off. But I still can't quite grasp what it's all about. I would love to hear about you think about it. Your friend, Sunset Shimmer" *** It was another day at CHS. The Humane 6 and the brothers were in the library discussing whoever that person was. "She was definitely doing something to the statue." Sunset Shimmer said. "Yeah. Touching it." Gohan said. "Did she come from Equestria?" Fluttershy asked. "No. It feels like that person is from here, but also feels like someone from Equestria. I just don't know who." Gohan said. "Well, that's a relief. It's good not to have some magical being bent on world domination coming over from Equestria." Applejack said with a wink. Sunset Shimmer smirked. "Does that happen a lot?" Goten asked. "You have no idea, Goten." Rainbow Dash said. "I have no interests in another fight against powerful evil magic. The wear and tear on my wardrobe is just too much for me." Rarity said. "Still, a mysterious figure lurking around the portal? Don't you want to know what she was up to?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "Oh, I don't even want to guess." Fluttershy said. "Well you don't have to! Because I figured out who it was!" Rainbow Dash said, pulling out a book. "OOH! OOH! A nighttime statue cleaner? Magical portal maintenance maintainer? Gardener!?" Pinkie Pie asked, pulling out books for all of that. "Seeing as they got off a bus FROM the city and got on a bus TO the city, I'll bet they go to..." Rainbow Dash said. "Crystal Prep." Everyone but Sunset Shimmer, Gohan and Goten said. "Yep. With the Friendship Games starting tomorrow, they'd totally try to prank us by defacing the Wondercolts statue!" Rainbow Dash said. "That's not very nice of them." Goten said. "That's right." Fluttershy said, petting Goten, making him smile. "Why would anyone take a bus all the way from the city for that?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "Because the Crystal Prep Shadowbolts are our biggest rivals?" Applejack asked. "Because that's what the students at Crystal Prep would do?" Rarity asked. "Because even though they beat us in everything, soccer, tennis, golf, they STILL have to gloat!" Rainbow Dash said, flipping to a page where they made the Wondercolts statue look like a clown. "Sounds really silly to me." Sunset Shimmer said. "SILLY!?" The rest of the Humane 6 asked. "So, I guess you think the Friendship Games are silly too." Rainbow Dash said. "She didn't mean that. The school might have some mean people, but the rivalry is just silly." Gohan said. "We'll be fighting against a school full of meanies." Fluttershy said. "Then Gohan's gonna kick their butts! Full throttle!" Goten said, uppercutting the air. He landed on the top of a bookshelf. Cheerilee noticed. "How did you get up there?" She asked with a forced smile. Gohan flew up and grabbed him. "Please excuse us." He said, floating down and putting him on the ground again. Cheerilee was confused. Then he chuckled. "Definitely not full throttle, but easygoing." He said. "No, Gohan, you HAVE to go full throttle! This is our big chance to show that the Wondercolts are better than the Shadowbolts!" Rainbow Dash said. "Eh... Fine, I guess." Gohan said. "I just don't understand why there's this big rivalry. Aren't the Friendship Games about the two schools getting along?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "Well, its kind of hard to get along when someone beats you at everything." Applejack said. "Not anymore! This time, things are gonna be different!" Rainbow Dash said. "Sounds reasonable enough." Gohan said. *** The gym was full of students sitting on chairs and the bleachers. The principals both took the stage. "As I'm sure you all know, tomorrow Canterlot High School will be hosting our fellow students from Crystal Prep Academy as we join together in the spirit of excellence, sportsmanship, and fidelity as we compete in the Friendship Games!" Celestia said. The students were pretty disinterested and clapped slowly. "Since the games happen every four years, I'm sure you're all curious what goes on!" Celestia said. "You mean other than us losing!?" Flash Sentry called from the audience. Celestia and Luna had unamused faces. "And that is why I have Rainbow Dash to give you all a little, erm, context." Celestia said. Rainbow Dash walked up and snatched the damn microphone. "Thank you Principal Celestia. Ahem, I know a lot of you might think there's NO way we can beat a 'fancy' school like Crystal Prep at anything." Rainbow Dash said. "UNLESS IT'S A LOSING COMPETITION AGAINST CRYSTAL PREP BECAUSE WE'RE REALLY GOOD AT THAT!" Pinkie Pie shouted. "Ugh. And I know that CHS has never won the Friendship Games, but that changes this time! Crystal Prep students are super athletic, super smart, and super motivated! Not only do we have a CHS member who has all of that times a billion or two, there's one thing they aren't. They aren't Wondercolts!" Rainbow Dash called. Then they sang a song called the CHS Rally song with the CHS marching band and everyone got motivated. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Jqd88q-7wI0 *** Rainbow Dash gave a thumbs up to the marching band before going backstage where her friends were waiting. "Rainbow Dash. That was amazing!" Fluttershy said with glee. "Even I feel like we can win!" She said. "Why didn't you feel that way in the library?" Rainbow Dash asked. "We have him to ace it all." She said. Gohan scratched the back of his head and smiled awkwardly. "Uh, yes. I feel like my school pride is at an all time high!" Rarity said giddily. "Is anyone else wondering why Dash ponied up without playing her guitar?" Applejack asked. "She did it while training, I don't see why it's surprising." Gohan said. "It's probably because I'm so awesome!" Rainbow Dash said. "Maybe. I mean, you are awesome, but there's got to be more to it than that, right?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "It just seems so random." She added. "Then it would be nice if you girls and boys had a handle on it." Luna said from behind. "We want to keep magic as far away as possible from the Friendship Games. We don't want to be accused of cheating." Luna said. "So does that mean I can't use my super strength? Because that's something I really no longer have a handle on." Gohan said. "Just how strong are you...?" Luna asked. "Oh, he's really strong!" Goten said. "Yeah... I'm currently wearing 4300 kilograms of clothing right now." Gohan said. "Well, that's certainly impressive. It's one of the reasons why I picked you, I suppose. But I do want you to restrain it as much as possible." Luna said. "I'll suppress myself as much as possible, Principal Luna." Gohan said. "We don't need magic or Gohan to win the games!" Rarity said. Everyone agreed. "Still, the Friendship Games are serious business. We don't want any surprises. Especially the ones that cause us to forfeit. Sunset Shimmer, Gohan, you two come from a world full of magic. Perhaps you can do something about our magical development." Luna said. "We'll do our best." Sunset Shimmer said. "May I have a rule book for the Friendship Games?" Gohan asked. "No. You will receive the rules at the Games." Luna said and walked away. "Okay, anyone have any guesses about what the events are gonna be?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Pie eating? Cake eating? PIECAKE EATING!?" Pinkie Pie asked, combining the two. "Now I know I'd win at that." Gohan said. "They won't even let us see what they're doing to the field! They can at least tell the competitors what they're competing in." Applejack said. "It could be anything." Fluttershy said. "ANYTHING!? How will I ever pick the right outfit?" Rarity asked. "Oh I hope it's the pie and/or cake eating contest." Gohan said. "I really want to help. I guess I should try to figure out why Rainbow Dash suddenly ponied up. See you later!" Sunset Shimmer said, leaving. "Seems like she has everything under control! Nothing to worry about!" Pinkie Pie said. "Maybe I should help too. Do you want to come, Goten?" Gohan asked. "Perhaps he could stay with us. He isn't wearing heavy clothing." Rarity said, picking Goten up. "I'll stay with them." Goten said. "Alright. I'll be back." Gohan said, walking after Sunset Shimmer. *** Sunset Shimmer was in the library. She tried doing mathematics and science but it couldn't explain magic. "You doing okay?" Gohan asked. "Oh! Uh... Hey!" Sunset Shimmer said a little nervously. "I'm a little concerned. You're a bit... Jumpy." Gohan said. "W-What? No, I'm fine. Do you think Twilight would answer right now?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "She wasn't home when I left." Gohan said. "I'll try anyway." Sunset Shimmer said. She wrote in the book, sending a message to Twilight. "She ponies up when she really got into doing it. I guess you all do. When it comes to music, it's fairly easy." Gohan said. "It's all so weird. What happens while we play that causes us to pony up?" Sunset Shimmer asked. *** Crystal Prep Academy Twilight roamed the halls of the very uptight school. She was having a tough time not bumping into people. She kept apologizing even when it was her own fault. She was back in her lab conducting whatever. Twilight has a device to sense magic. It would guarantee her into whatever college she wants to go to. Specifically Everton. Cadence voiced her concern for Twilight being really antisocial. But she never said it flat out. Twilight had no clue what she was talking about. She's better off alone! ...Right? Twilight was staffed with planning for the Friendship Games so that CPA would win even though she doesn't want to. Because CHS cannot have a reputation. According to the damn principal. And she gave her the job through blackmail. She and her pet dog Spike were headed to CHS for the Friendship Games. *** While the Rainbooms practiced music, Gohan and Goten were in the empty gym training. Well, it had banners and stuff, but they had some time to go loose. Goten was a Super Saiyan while Gohan was not. Goten threw many punches at Gohan, which he dodged and blocked. Gohan avoided a sweep kick by jumping high into the air. Goten jumped up and grabbed his foot. "What- Hey!" Gohan said. "Gotcha!" Goten said, throwing Gohan back to the ground. Gohan stopped himself before he put a crater into the ground. Goten came falling down with a dropkick. Gohan grabbed his feet. "Let's tone it down a little. This isn't a place to go crazy on." Gohan said. "Oh come on!" Goten said. "Fine then!" Gohan said, powering up enough to push Goten away. Then Luna came into the gymnasium. "Son Gohan, are you sure you are able to restrain yourself for the games?" Luna asked. "As long as I don't get incredibly enraged." Gohan said. "And wasn't his hair different last time?" Luna asked, pointing at Goten. "Yeah! I'm a Super Saiyan!" Goten said. "Well... That's wonderful! Have fun." Luna said, walking away. "I think training should be over for now, Goten. I'll teach you and the others how to use ki and fly next." Gohan said. "Yay!" Goten said. *** CPA just made it to CHS. Twilight, detecting magic, walked into the school. Surprisingly, everyone knew her. She even bumped into Flash Sentry. But she ran to where she could locate magic. *** Rarity had spent all this time dressing up her friends. "Uh, Rarity, why would you put so much effort and time into clothes we might not even wear?" Applejack asked, wearing a baseball player's uniform. "You're going to exhaust yourself before the games even start!" She added. "Oh nonsense! Putting effort into clothes is simply what I live for! And spending time with my friends is what simply fills me with energy!" Rarity said, suddenly ponying up. Then Gohan and Goten entered the room. "Hey." Gohan said. "Hey." Everyone said back. "When did Rarity get longer hair and big ears?" Goten asked. Twilight was outside the music room. She opened her magical pendant and somehow absorbed all of Rarity's magic. And Gohan had that feeling. He sensed someone similar was around. "Actually, Applejack, now that I think about it, maybe I could use a tiny break." Rarity said, losing her pony parts and collapsing. "I told you." Applejack said. Twilight entered the music room. "Twilight!?" Everyone but Gohan and Goten said. "Uh... Yes?" Twilight asked. "Well I'll be! You should've told us you were coming!" Applejack said, wrapping an arm around Twilight. Sunset Shimmer smiled. "Darling, your fashion is... What are you wearing? It's so severe." Rarity said. "My uniform?" Twilight asked. "Your uniform's for what?" Fluttershy asked, wearing a hockey player's uniform. "For Crystal Prep. But why does this school know who I am?" Twilight asked. Gohan knew now. "She's this world's Twilight, isn't she..." He muttered. "Did you just say Crystal Prep?" Rainbow Dash asked, wearing a British police officer's uniform. Then Spike, her dog came barking out of the bag. "Spike!" The Humane 6 said. "You know my dog's name too?" Twilight asked. Everyone was confused as hell. Except for Gohan. Outside, Celestia was giving Crystal Prep's principal, Cinch a tour of the school. "And our musical program as especially taken off!" Celestia said. But then she noticed Twilight. "Twilight?" Celestia asked. "This is getting ridiculous!" Twilight said. "I must apologize for the curiosity of my prized student." Cinch said. "Your student?" Celestia asked. "The smart ones are always curious. I'll return her to check in with the rest of her classmates." Cinch said, escorting Twilight away. "I didn't know Twilight has a twin sister." Celestia said. "This isn't the Twilight we know." Gohan said. "How do you know?" Celestia asked. "The Twilight we know is from Equestria. This Twilight is from this world. And she has a very familiar ki signature to Equestria's Twilight..." Gohan said. "Ki...? Nevermind." Celestia said, walking away. *** The eight were walking the halls. "I can't believe this world's Twilight goes to Crystal Prep!" Rarity said. "Twilight's gonna play against us? She'd never do that." Rainbow Dash said. "Our Twilight wouldn't." Fluttershy said. "Our Twilight is a princess in Equestria and an expert in friendship magic! If she really was here, we'd all know why the magical stuff we do happens!" Sunset Shimmer said a little loudly and angrily. Everyone looked at her and she sighed. "Sorry, I'm just frustrated that Twilight hasn't written back to me yet." Sunset Shimmer said. "Magic is confusing." Goten said. "It sure is." Gohan said. "Another time where I don't feel useful again." Sunset Shimmer said. "What do you mean?" Rarity asked. "I'm the one who brought magic into this world, but I can't even explain it. I rarely help at all." Sunset Shimmer said. "Oh don't say that. You were the one who told us about the Sirens and what they were doing!" Applejack said. "Yeah, but that's about it. Twilight was the one who figured out what we needed to defeat them." Sunset Shimmer said. "And guess what else we needed to defeat them." Gohan said. "You." Rarity said. "Don't feel bad! You've done good stuff!" Goten said. Sunset Shimmer smiled. "I guess. Thanks." She said. Everyone cheered. "Okay guys, let's see the info about the events and come up with a strategy!" Rainbow Dash said. Everyone began to walk away. Sunset Shimmer stood still for some reason. "You coming, Sunset?" Rainbow Dash asked. "I'll catch up with you guys in a bit." Sunset Shimmer said. She walked outside the school towards the portal. Twilight sensed magic coming from the portal and began absorbing it. Sunset Shimmer tried entering the portal, but her hand got stuck to the wall. The two actions created an equal but opposite reaction, pushing the two away from the portal. They landed sitting. Twilight had gained more magic. "What did you do!?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "Twilight, you have to go with the others." Cadence said. Twilight ran after the others. Sunset Shimmer tried going after her, but she disappeared. She tried going into the portal... And it was closed! "Where's the portal!?" Sunset Shimmer asked, trying in vain to go through. Gohan came out the doors. "Sunset Shimmer!" He said. "The portal's closed!" Sunset Shimmer said. "What!?" Gohan asked. Gohan tried entering, but he failed too! "I'm not going to be stuck here forever, am I!? Who stole the magic from this portal!?" Gohan asked. "Someone stole it?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "I'm really starting to think that someone is absorbing magic. I came out because I felt the sudden change." Gohan said. "Then we have to get it back!" Sunset Shimmer said. "I think it's Twilight!" She said. "Maybe. I sensed a good amount of magic from her pendant, but it suddenly disappeared." Gohan said. *** In the gym, there was a 'party' going on. There was a banner that said: "Welcome Crystal Prep" And the schools were not chatting. They each stayed on their side of the gym. And in the halls, the Humane 6 and the brothers walked. Pinkie Pie was carrying Goten and flying him around like an airplane. "What do you mean the portal's closed?" Applejack asked. "Someone took the magic from the portal. I believe it is this world's Twilight." Gohan said. The eight entered the gym. "What makes you say that?" Applejack asked. "Actually, leave this to me." Sunset Shimmer said, walking up to Twilight. Twilight was walking around trying to locate magic. "Twilight, what are you doing?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "M-Me? Oh, I was jus-" "Who wants to know!?" Indigo Zap interrupted, pointing a finger at Sunset Shimmer. The Rainbow Dash joined in. "Uh, we do." She said, starting a rivalry against Indigo Zap. "Calm down, Rainbow." Gohan said. "Yeah, let's not get too competitive before the games start." Applejack said, wrapping her arms around both people. "The Games have never been a competition since WE'VE never lost." Sugarcoat said. "That's not a very nice thing to say." Fluttershy said. "Sorry, dearie, these games aren't about being nice." Sunny Flare said. "Well, it might use a LITTLE tact." Rarity said. Twilight began backing away. Until she bumped into Pinkie Pie, who was carrying Goten. "Hi! I'm Pinkie Pie!" She said, holding Goten with one hand and reaching out with the other. "Oh, hi! I'm Twilight." Twilight said, grabbing Pinkie Pie's hand. She shook it with full force, man! It undid Twilight's bun. "I know! You look just like my friend! Who's name is Twilight too!" Pinkie Pie said. Twilight began to fix her hair. "Well, that's... Weird..." Twilight said. "What's that?" Pinkie Pie asked, referring to Twilight's magical pendant. "It's sort of a spectrometer. I built it to-" "Did I hear scientific talk!?" Gohan asked. Twilight turned to Gohan. "You know what a spectrometer is?" She asked. "Of course! It's a device that separates particles, molecules and atoms by their mass or energy!" Gohan said. Pinkie Pie was bored as hell hearing that. She walked away. "Wow! I didn't expect someone like you to know this stuff." Twilight said. "I've developed a kind of spectrometer with my life energy!" Gohan said. "H-How does that work? Isn't that scientifically impossible unless you used a machine?" Twilight asked. "It's simple. Using your life energy, or ki to find others' ki can be done by simply scanning locations with your own! Basically you stretch out your ki as far as you can. With enough practice, you can sense beings galaxies away!" Gohan said. "That's very interesting!" Twilight said, giggling. "I like you!" She said. "Being a nerd is awesome, right!?" Gohan asked. "Yeah!" Twilight said. The two did a weak high five. "Though... You seem to have accumulated muscle mass." Twilight said. "That's because I also train. It's why I have the spectrometer right here!" Gohan said, pointing at his head. "Hello everyone!" Celestia said through the mic. "I would like to take this opportunity to greet everyone from Crystal Prep Academy and welcome them to CHS." Celestia said. Pinkie Pie pushed a heavy box with the party cannon she received from Gohan into the gym. "And lastly, I would like to recognize the thirteen students CHS has elected to compete." Celestia said. They all waved. The roster for CHS was: The Humane 6, Gohan, Flash Sentry, Lyra Heartstrings, Bon Bon, Micro Chips, Sandalwood and Derpy Hooves/Ditzy Doo. Pinkie Pie pulled a second party cannon in. "I don't think we could've chosen a better group to represent the excellence, sportsmanship and friendship the Games stand for!" Celestia said. Pinkie Pie replaced all food with tons of cupcakes and turned the gym into a REAL party. She had Vinyl Scratch play a specific CD. The students from different schools actually began to mingle and eat together. Pinkie Pie blasted her party cannons. Everyone was having fun! Dancing and whatnot! Pinkie Pie gained her pony parts! Twilight's pendant glowed, and it absorbed all of her magic. Pinkie Pie was really drained. "I am party pooped." She said. Twilight closed her pendant, full of more magic. Gohan rushed to Pinkie Pie, catching her before she fell and gave her a senzu bean. "Thanks Gohan!" Pinkie Pie said before zipping away. "I wonder what happened." Gohan said. Twilight was scared. Then, Principal Cinch, tapped on the mic, making it give feedback. The party was halted. "I would like to thank Principal Celestia for her unconventional welcome. It's been four years since the last Friendship Games, but it feels as though nothing has changed. Canterlot High continues to pick it's competitors in a popularity contest, and Crystal Prep continues to pick it's top twelve students." Cinch said. The CPA students started to separate from the CHS students. "It is a comfort to know that even after so many years of losses, you're school is committed to its ideals, however misguided they might be. I wish you all the best of luck, regardless of the inevitable outcome." Cinch said. Pinkie Pie went to the Humane 6. "I'm sorry Pinkie. I thought your party additions were pretty swell!" Applejack said. "It definitely broke the ice." Fluttershy said. "Yes, but that Principal Cinch had frozen it again." Rarity said. Gohan came carrying Goten. "And I was having a nice nerdy conversation with Twilight discussing spectrometers." He said. "Spectro-what?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Nothing." Gohan said before chuckling. "Also, the loss of magic is looking pretty suspicious." Gohan said. "In what regards?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "Pinkie, what happened after you ponied up?" Gohan asked. "I suddenly felt the magic drain out of me." Pinkie Pie said. "Really? Where's this world's Twilight?" Applejack asked. "I dunno." Pinkie Pie said. *** The Friendship Games has begun! The two competing teams were in front of the school's entrance and exit inside the school. "Welcome to the first event! The academic decathlon! You'll be scored on chemistry, home-ec, and everything in between. But remember, only the six students from each team with the most points will move on to event number two! Good luck!" Cadence said. The test began! ...And Gohan was way ahead of everyone else. He did all the experiments with speed and precision. He was first to finish. Then he, Fluttershy and Pinkie made a fucking Mona Lisa cake. Next, everyone was making a birdhouse. The Shadowbolts won this one, making a double birdhouse with flames. Gohan only made the sturdiest yet the most basic birdhouse. ...After destroying about three. In the spelling bee, Gohan and Twilight remained to be the last ones standing. He spelled carcinogen. Seriously, I know this is off topic but I find it stupid that almost every or every student got some of the simplest words wrong. And now he and Twilight were doing advanced math equations with triangles and Pythagorean theorem and quadratic equations and algebra. And Gohan won in that regard, being much faster than anyone else. X = 30 He did it in less than a minute! "Correct!" Cinch said. Everyone was very surprised. Especially Twilight. 'Since when was he a super nerd like me times ten?' She thought. "The winner of the first event of the Friendship Games is Son Gohan of Canterlot High!" Luna declared. Everyone from CHS cheered while also being really surprised. A superhero a nerd!? Get outta here! CPA booed. "That was awesome!" Rainbow Dash said, hugging Gohan. "Thanks. I study often." Gohan said. "Yeah! You did awesome, Gohan!" Goten said. "Thanks!" Gohan said. "After a careful tally of the combined points, we would like to announce the students moving on to the Friendship Games' second event!" Cadence said. The students walked onstage. Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Sunset Shimmer, Rarity, Pinkie Pie and Gohan were moving on. CPA wasn't cheering or anything, but CHS was. Twilight went offstage with her team in shame. "Twilight." Cinch said, looking at Twilight with a death stare. Twilight cowered in fear as she walked away. *** Fluttershy was feeding her little critters outside. Twilight followed her because of the magic she could see. And Fluttershy caught her. "Would you like to feed the little critters?" She asked. Twilight hesitated at first, but smiled and went to Fluttershy. "Guess I'm not the only one to smuggle her pet into school." Twilight said. "Not just one." Fluttershy said, showing off the more animals. "Wow." Twilight said. "All I have is Spike." She said, letting Spike out. Fluttershy picked Spike up. "Does he talk?" She asked. "Uh... Not that I know of." Twilight said. "Oh, nice job on making it so far in the first event. Gohan really didn't suppress himself like he said he would." Fluttershy said. "Thanks, and- Suppress?" Twilight asked. Fluttershy nodded. "He's the most powerful, fastest, and smartest boy at CHS. I can't see anyone beating him in academics- Even worse, sports." She said. "That's... Very interesting." Twilight said. "Also, it seemed like your team wasn't really happy about advancing." Fluttershy said. "No one at my school gets excited about anything they didn't do themselves." Twilight said, frowning. "That sounds awful." Fluttershy said. Then, she picked up her bunny. "Here, hold this." She said, handing him to Twilight. Twilight did it hesitantly at first. "Um... Why?" She asked. "Holding a bunny always makes me feel better." Fluttershy said. "Well, that's ridiculous, but-" Twilight said before Angel rubbed his head on Twilight. Twilight was glad it happened. "It actually kind of works." She said, stroking the bunny. Then she had a weird realization. "I'm on the other team and you just won. Why are you being so nice to me?" She asked. "You looked like you needed it." Fluttershy said. Suddenly, she ponied up! Twilight looked in awe. "Wow!" She said. The pendant floated towards Fluttershy. It opened, starting to steal Fluttershy's magic. It got out of control, and shot magic portals. From them, a weird animal hybrid from Chernobyl emerged. Spike chased after it, leaping from portal to portal until getting caught in between Fluttershy's magic. "Spike!" Twilight exclaimed, closing her pendant. Fluttershy groaned as she gave Spike to Twilight. Her power was very diminished. *** As the seven were walking the halls, Gohan felt Fluttershy's power level go to 1. "Sorry guys, I'll be back in a moment." Gohan said, using Instant Transmission. "How do you get used to that?" Rainbow Dash asked. "He usually flies me everywhere. He said he'd teach me how to fly with his students." Goten said. "Well, you'll learn with us!" Rarity said. "Cool!" Goten said. *** "Spike! Are you okay?" Twilight asked. "Uh... I think so." Spike said. Twilight hugged Spike, then the two screamed. Twilight ran away in fear. "Twilight! Wait!" Spike yelled, chasing after her. Fluttershy collapsed onto the ground. "B-Bye... H-Help..." She said. Gohan appeared. "Fluttershy!" He said. He quickly turned Fluttershy over and gave her a senzu bean. 'If this keeps happening then I'll run out.' He thought. Fluttershy opened her eyes to see Gohan. "Hey. Are you okay?" He asked. Fluttershy blushed randomly and didn't respond. She only stared. Gohan was a little confused. "Helloooo?" He asked, waving a hand in front of Fluttershy's face. "Oh! Sorry. Thank you, Gohan." Fluttershy said, sitting up. "What happened?" Gohan asked. "I... I can't remember...." Fluttershy said. "Hold on." Gohan said, placing a hand on Fluttershy's head. He tried reading her mind... But found nothing. It truly was gone. "Well, you really don't remember." Gohan said. *** Twilight was inside the school. She finally came to terms about Spike SOMEHOW being able to talk. "Twilight." Cinch said. Twilight instantly stuffed Spike into an empty locker. "Who are you talking to?" She asked. "U-Uh, myself! It's a nervous habit. Were you looking for me?" Twilight asked. "Indeed I was. I hope you know I am very disappointed in you. You lost to a boy practicing martial arts! His fashion sense is incredibly uncouth, his hair is sporadic and he seems like a brute." Cinch said. Twilight hung her head low in shame. "However, if you are to win the next parts I will reward you mightily. Now, it is a coincidence that the CHS students moving on to the next event are the same 'nice' girls and that brute who were so interested in you, don't you think?" She asked. "I'm not sure." Twilight said. "Perhaps you should get to know them after all." Cinch said. "But I thought you didn't want me to." Twilight said. "Let's just say I'm covering my bases. Who knows? Perhaps they will reveal to you the secret to Canterlot High's newfound success." Cinch said, grabbing Twilight's shoulders. "I don't know... Spying feels kind of wrong..." Twilight said. "Well, it is your decision. It's not as if your application hangs in the balance. On second thought, yes it does." Cinch said, walking away. "Wait! I do know the boy I lost to is the best player they have. He happens to be the strongest, fastest and smartest student here." Twilight said. Cinch smiled. "Thank you. Please continue to find more secrets." She said, walking away. *** The Humane 6 and the brothers were roaming the halls. "You seriously don't remember?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "No. I remember that I ponied up, but everything after and a little before that is a blur." Fluttershy said. "This keeps happening because of someone." Gohan said. "Can you figure it out Gohan?" Goten asked. "I'll try." Gohan said. "I don't get it. Rarity's magic was out while making dresses, Pinkie's with the party and now Fluttershy." Sunset Shimmer said. "I remember that I couldn't stand up after that. In fact, I think I almost fainted." Fluttershy said. "Me too! At the party!" Pinkie Pie said. "And me too before meeting Twilight!" Rarity said. "So she's stealing magic..." Sunset Shimmer said. "I don't know, it doesn't seem like the magic stealing's tied." Applejack said. "If her pendant can steal magic, maybe it stole the portal too!" Sunset Shimmer said. "How?" Fluttershy asked. "She did say that her pendant was a spectrometer. It probably measured the frequencies in the magic from us and the portal and took it." Gohan said. "Wait, really?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "It's my theory, anyways." Gohan said. "Well, for now, let's just focus on beating the Shadowbolts. With Gohan here, it should be a cinch." Rainbow Dash said. "And as long as this event puts me on a playing field, we don't have anything to worry about!" Rainbow Dash bragged. *** The second event was beginning. A motorcross event. There was a huge course for it outside. Even a scoreboard. No wonder they kept it a secret from the students. Cinch was instructing her students. "You will race in pairs. Indigo Zap and Sugarcoat will handle the motocross." Cinch said. "Yes!" Indigo Zap said. "Lemon Zest and Sunny Flare have requested the short track." Cinch said. The two high fived each other. "Since archery is a standard requirement at our school, any of you should be able to do it. Twilight and Sour Sweet will start us off." Cinch said. "Well, that's just marvelous! If you wanna lose before we even start!" Sour Sweet said. "Given that Twilight lost the last event in second place, I am very sure that she will be able to pull her weight here." Cinch said. "Won't you." She said. Twilight nodded nervously. *** The four with a front row seat were Celestia, Luna, Cadence and Cinch. "Welcome everyone, to the Friendship Games tricross relay!" Cadence announced. Everyone cheered in the bleachers. "In this event, our qualifying competitors will face off in archery, speed skating, and finally, motorcross." Cadence said. Gohan and Applejack were handling archery, while Rarity and Pinkie Pie did speed skating and Rainbow Dash and Sunset Shimmer were doing motorcross. And yes, Rarity made suits for all of them except Gohan because he refused. "GO GOHAN!" Goten yelled from the bleachers. "So, if the competitors are ready..." Cadence said before blowing an air horn. The archers began. Gohan went first, darting at a good speed. He was up against Sour Sweet. He jumped over each hay with speed. He was way ahead of her. Halfway through the jumping, he began to do flips and jump with with hands too. Everyone looked in shock and excitement. When it came to the rope jump, Gohan simply leaped over the hole. He even did a flip. Cinch and Cadence were very surprised. Sour Sweet wasn't even done with the hay yet! Gohan grabbed his arrows and bow. He instantly shot his arrows while singing: "Chickity China the Chinese chicken!" He got all four moving targets on the bullseye. Although he wasn't supposed to do that, he was allowed to proceed. "This is most impressive! Son Gohan shall suffer no penalty, but receive praise!" Cadence said. Everyone cheered. Goten was doing the most. And everyone was surprised! Like, EXTREMELY surprised. Especially Cinch. She did not like Gohan one single bit. Sour Sweet managed to make it to the rope finally. Applejack darted towards her bow and arrow. Sour Sweet finally managed to get to her bow and arrow. She shot three arrows in one shot, getting a bullseye. Twilight started! And instantly tripped over the hay. Applejack was done with the hay jumping. Sour Sweet shot all three arrows at once, securing a target. Applejack made it to her bow and arrow. She managed to get one but not a bullseye. Twilight made it to the rope. Sour Sweet was enraged. Applejack tried again, and then after a deep breath, she got a bullseye! Canterlot scored one point on the scoreboard. The speed skaters for CHS darted towards the finish line. "And Canterlot is off to an early lead!" Cadence said. Twilight finally made it to the bow and arrows, but kept failing. And CHS already had a lap, and now they had two. "If CPA can't hit a bullseye soon, they'll be out of this race!" Cadence said. Sour Sweet was getting angrier. "NOW THAT'S JUST FANTASTIC!" She yelled at Twilight. Twilight was hurt emotionally. "I'm definitely glad I don't go to school at Crystal Prep." Gohan said. "Agreed." Applejack said. Twilight failed again. Sour Sweet began verbally abusing Twilight. Twilight actually had tears in her eyes. "You're really bad at this!" Sugarcoat yelled. "Hey! She's trying her best, maybe you should be quiet!" Gohan yelled. "Ugh, I can't take this anymore!" Applejack said, handing her bow to Gohan. She went up to Twilight. "You have to stop aiming at the target." Applejack said. "Oh that makes perfect sense! Don't aim at the target! Thanks so much!" Sour Sweet said sarcastically. "You have to start aiming at where the target is. And aim it at where the target's gonna be." Applejack said. "Yeah! Definitely take advice FROM THE PERSON YOU'RE COMPETING AGAINST!" Sour Sweet yelled. Twilight began to cry again. "Do you want to hit the bullseye or not?" Applejack asked. Twilight wiped her tears and nodded. "Then trust me. Take a deep breath." Applejack said. Twilight did just that. "And let the arrow go... Right... NOW!" Applejack said. Twilight released the arrow. It was a bullseye! Sour Sweet backed away in embarrassment. The crowd cheered, and Cinch was pleased. Twilight hugged Applejack. "See? I was telling you the truth." Applejack said. Then she suddenly ponied up! Twilight's pendant began to absorb it! "Ugh! What- Are- You- Doing!?" Applejack asked. Gohan quickly jumped over to Applejack. "I don't know!" Twilight said with tears. Applejack lost her pony stuff and fell. Gohan caught her and laid her down. Twilight managed to close the pendant, but then backed up and tripped. The pendant snapped, and the pendant was on the skating track. It even let out a portal. "Canterlot High has finished the speed skating event! But it seems Crystal Prep is making up lost time!" Cadence said. The score was Wondercolts 8-6 Shadowbolts. Crystal Prep students knocked Twilight's pendant away from the track. "Here Applejack, eat up." Gohan said, feeding her a senzu bean. Applejack managed to sit up. "What happened...?" She asked. "She stole your magic." Gohan said. "She did what?" Applejack asked. The motorists began. Then CPA's started. Twilight tried to grab her pendant, but the portals made vines appear that kept grabbing her. Suddenly, the vine snapped. Twilight looked up to see no other than Gohan. "Go!" He yelled, kicking a piranha away. Rainbow Dash narrowly avoided an incoming monster. The same could not be said for Sunset Shimmer and Sugarcoat, who both lost their bikes to the monster. Well, Sunset Shimmer fell off her bike. The principals and dean were shocked! Indigo Zap used the monster to keep up with Rainbow Dash by using it as a ramp. Gohan rushed to the track and started to beat down the monster, who ate Sugarcoat's bike. Sugarcoat fell down. Gohan fired ki blasts at the monster. Rainbow Dash, seeing Sunset Shimmer fallen, noticed that one of the monster's piranha's was going to eat her. So she turned around and grabbed Sunset Shimmer before she could be eaten by the monster. "Dash! You saved me!" Sunset Shimmer said. "I wasn't about to let my friend become plant food!" Rainbow Dash said, stopping. She ponied up! Cinch looked at Celestia who shrugged nervously. Gohan flew around the monster, firing more ki blasts. Goten even joined in, turning Super Saiyan and beating it down. "Keep going Goten!" Gohan yelled. More of the monster tried to attack Twilight, and Spike fended some of it off. "We can still win this!" Rainbow Dash yelled, flying at the finish line. Sunset Shimmer took her bike and the two raced towards the finish line. Indigo Zap may have been in the lead, but the monster put a crater into the track in which she fell. The monster was about to devour her before Goten kicked it away. Even Rainbow Dash joined in, smashing herself into the monster so it wouldn't devour Sunset Shimmer again. Indigo Zap managed to get out. She and Sunset Shimmer was neck at neck. And... "Canterlot Wins!" Cadence said. Everyone cheered, well, except for Crystal Prep. They booed. "Attention Students. Please proceed to the gym." Cadence said. Twilight finally did it and closed her pendant, which had created portals all over the place. Now the monster disappeared. The Humane 6 all rushed together. "Are y'all alright!?" Applejack asked. "Of course we're alright! We won!" Rainbow Dash said, flying in. Sunset Shimmer took off her helmet. "We won, but somebody could've been seriously hurt! The magic is going haywire and I don't know how to fix it!" Sunset Shimmer shouted. "Um, excuse me." Twilight said. "I didn't want this to happen. I just wanted to learn about the strange energy from your school! I didn't know it was magic or how it works." Twilight said. Rainbow Dash walked up to Twilight. "That's okay, neither do we." She said. The pendant began taking her magic! "No! Nonono! Not again!" Twilight said. Rainbow Dash strained as she began to lose her magic. She lost her pony parts and collapsed. "I'm sorry! It just started absorbing energy on it's own! But I'm not sure how!" Twilight shouted as she tried to close the pendant. Gohan flew in, flipping Rainbow Dash over and giving her a senzu bean. "Eat." He said. 'It's her.' He thought. And he check his pouch to see only two senzu beans left. He sighed. "What do you mean you don't know how!?" Sunset Shimmer shouted as she tried to close it too. He sighed again. However, it only caused the portal to Equestria to appear. Goten ran up and shut it himself. It closed. "You really need to train more." He said, reverting back to his base form. "What?" Twilight asked. "I don't know how this works!" She exclaimed. "What DO you know!? Do you know how to get our magic back!? Or fix the portal to Equestria!?" Sunset Shimmer asked. Cinch watched from afar. "Equestria?" Twilight asked. "You're supposed to be so smart, but did you ever think that you shouldn't be messing around with things you don't understand!?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "But I want to understand!" Twilight said. "But you DON'T! And worst of all, you put the lives of my friends in danger!" Sunset Shimmer yelled. Twilight began to cry again. "I'm sorry... I didn't mean to!" She sobbed before running away. Sunset Shimmer was about to chase her, until Rainbow Dash put a hand on her shoulder, making her realize her stupid outburst. Cinch smirked as she saw this. "Ahem." Celestia said. "You can't possibly call that a fair race!" Cinch said, crossing her arms. "Principal Cinch, we all saw what happened. You can't think CHS had some kind of advantage." Celestia said. "Can't I? Even without your trained attack plants, your students have wings and can fly without them!" Cinch said. "Well, the race had some... Extenuating circumstances. Perhaps we should end the Games now and declare a tie." Celestia said. "Tie? Was this your strategy all along? To force us into accepting you as equals?" Cinch asked, pointing a finger at Celestia. The eight kids walked up to the principals and dean. "I think not. The Games will continue and Crystal Prep will prevail despite your antics and performance enhancing regimen your students are on." Cinch said, walking away. Gohan snickered at 'performance enhancing regimen.' "I'm sorry I couldn't keep all this from happening." Sunset Shimmer said. "It's not your fault, Sunset." Celestia said. "Isn't it? I should know how to control the magic I brought here. But I don't. I let everyone down. And now Principal Cinch thinks we're cheating!" Sunset Shimmer said. "It doesn't matter what Principal Cinch thinks." Celestia said, putting a hand on Sunset's shoulder. "But it does! The students here at CHS don't just want to win, they want to beat Crystal Prep! It isn't going to count if the other side doesn't really think they lost. Crystal Prep we win fair and square if there's magic around. And that magic is only around because of me." Sunset Shimmer said. "Wait, what about Gohan?" Celestia asked. "Oh, I don't use magic. It's just life energy, except mine is exponentially higher than a lot of people." Gohan said. "For example, I can do this at will." He said, blasting the sky with yellow ki. Everyone looked in amazement. "But I can't really explain magic." He said. *** The third event was happening since the second event was handed to Crystal Prep due to 'cheating.' They were around the entrance of the school, where bleachers were placed. "Somewhere on campus, a pennant from each school has been hidden. Whoever brings the school flag back first wins!" Luna said. "As soon as our teams are ready, we'll begin." Cadence said. "But I don't feel like playing these games anymore..." Fluttershy said. "But we have to! This is the last event!" Rainbow Dash said. "Ugh. It's a little hard to focus with this magic stealing and portal opening." Rarity said. "And I feel awful for what I said to Twilight." Sunset Shimmer said. "Don't feel bad, everyone has their little outbursts." Gohan said. "Especially when she actually didn't mean to do it... She's actually really nice." Fluttershy said. Sunset Shimmer covered her face in shame. "Oh, don't feel bad." Gohan said, placing a hand on Sunset's shoulder. The rest of the Humane 6 stared at Fluttershy. "Should I just dart in and out for you guys?" Gohan asked. "Maybe... I'm not feeling that school spirit either." Rainbow Dash said. "Let's just get through this last event and prove we're not cheaters. Then you can go over and apologize. Gohan, go as you wish." Applejack said. "Yeah! You can do it!" Goten cheered. On the other side, Cinch was instructing her students. "I know I'm asking you to beat a team that isn't playing fair, but Canterlot High must be made to understand that even with magic at their disposal, beating Crystal Prep is simply not an option." Cinch said. "But what if they grow wings again? He's still flying!" Sugarcoat said, pointing at Gohan, who was flying Goten around like an airplane while flying himself. "Perhaps we can now fight fire with fire." Cinch said, walking up to Twilight. "I've seen what your device can do, Twilight. Containing magical energy is fine, but have you considered releasing it?" Cinch asked. "But I don't even understand how it works!" Twilight said. "But you'd like to. And since our opponents have already used it to stay competitive I see no reason why we shouldn't do the same. Unless of course, you have no interest in Everton. Though honestly, I think there's more knowledge packed in that little device than any independent study program could offer." Cinch said. The students and Cinch were nudging Twilight to use the magic. If she didn't, then she was to blame for losing. Twilight walked to the center of the 'stadium.' Gohan was a few feet away. "The last event begins..." Cadence said. CHS and CPA were cheering. Gohan looked in confusion. "NOW!" Cadence said. Twilight released the magic. "W-What are you doing!?" Gohan asked. A flash of white and a purple shockwave appeared, knocking everyone but Gohan and Goten down. The purple orb of magic began to float. And Twilight did too. The pendant fell. Everyone looked in shock. "Twilight! Stop before you lose control!" Gohan yelled. Twilight was being sucked into the growing orb. She reached a hand out towards her team with tears in her eyes. "HELP! ME!" She screamed as she was enveloped by it. Another white flash appeared. Twilight transformed! Her hair was like flames, she received a glowing blue horn similar to Chrysalis, dark blue wings, glowing blue glasses, eyes and shoes and a spikier fashion. Cinch began backing away. Twilight cackled. "You were right! I didn't understand magic before! But I do now!" She yelled, blasting the Wondercolts' statue to pieces. The portal to Equestria appeared. A crack split across the ground. Especially where the Humane 6 were. Twilight made another portal appear to Equestria. She made more, and more, and more portals appear! Many started to run away and panic and scream. Even Cinch ran away. "That's enough! You cannot do this!" Gohan yelled, flying up so that he was at the same level as Twilight. Twilight laughed. "Why not? There's a whole other world out there, and it's just FILLED with MAGIC!" She yelled, firing another blast for another portal. "You're destroying this world to get to it!" Sunset Shimmer yelled. "So what? There's more magic there... And I want to UNDERSTAND IT ALL!" Twilight yelled, powering up three blasts at Sunset Shimmer. Gohan appeared in front of Sunset, holding the magic off. "Run!" He yelled. Sunset Shimmer did just that. Gohan grunted as he managed to hold the immense magic in his hands, much to everyone's surprise. He was able to make it incredibly small, to the size of a golf ball. "You can't win here, Twilight!" Gohan yelled, crushing it completely. Sunset Shimmer grabbed Twilight's pendant. It started sensing magic from the rest of the Humane 6. Then, she turned to Twilight. "This isn't the way! I know you feel powerful right now, and you can do nearly anything you want! But I've been to where you are. You're making the same mistake I made! I put on a crown and just like you, I was overwhelmed by the magic I had. I thought it could get me everything I wanted." Sunset Shimmer said. "Oh you're wrong. Unlike YOU, I CAN have everything I want!" Twilight said. Gohan flew up and kicked her in the face. "No you can't!" He yelled. "He's right! You can't! Even with all that magic and power, you'll still be alone! True magic comes from honesty," Sunset Shimmer said. Applejack began ponying up all of a sudden. "Loyalty," Then Rainbow Dash. "Laughter," Then Pinkie Pie. "Generosity," Then Rarity. "Kindness." Then finally Fluttershy. Sunset Shimmer opened the pendant and started absorbing all their magic. "I understand you, Twilight. As I want to show you the most important magic of all!" She said, holding the pendant towards Twilight. Twilight merely levitated it away from Sunset Shimmer. "Wait! Stop!" She said. Twilight cackled. "Did you expect me to let YOU have some of this power?" She asked before cackling again. Twilight absorbed the extra magic for herself, greatly increasing her own. She dropped the pendant to the ground. "N-No!" Sunset Shimmer yelled. The rest of the Humane 6 were now extremely powerless. And the remaining people left were them, the rest of CPA, Gohan and Goten. "Now I'm UNSTOPPABLE!" Twilight yelled. "No you're not!" Goten yelled from below. Twilight frowned at Goten. "Begone, you child!" She yelled, blasting Goten. "Goten!" Gohan yelled. Smoke covered the area. Then Gohan smirked. "I think you've doomed yourself." Gohan chuckled. "How so?" Twilight asked. A yellow aura flared high into the clouds and the smoke was cleared. People from afar could see it. "H-He's a Super Saiyan...?" Rainbow Dash muttered. Twilight looked in shock. Goten had a death stare at Twilight. "YOU MEANIE!" He yelled as he jumped up, cracking the ground and smashing his own fist into Twilight's face. Twilight herself was surprised that with all her power, she was just hurt by a child! Goten grabbed Twilight's arm as he fell back to the ground and smashed her against it, breaking his own fall. The CPA team watched in shock as a six year old just brought Twilight down. Goten repeatedly punched Twilight until Twilight powered up and flew up. "Hey! Flying's no fair!" Goten yelled, completely forgetting that he could jump. Gohan landed beside Goten. "Do you want me to take it from here?" He asked. Goten nodded. "Protect the girls." Gohan said, flying up at Twilight. Goten sidestepped to the Humane 6. "DIE!" Twilight yelled as she blasted Gohan. Gohan used his invisible ki as a barrier to fend off the magic. He was a human missile darting at Twilight. He smashed his head into her stomach and roundhouse kicked her to the side. Twilight recovered and was brimming with rage. "How... HOW!? My pendant should've been able to absorb your magic! What the hell are you!?" She yelled. Gohan turned to Twilight and smiled. "I'm no magic user. I'm a Super Saiyan!" He yelled, turning Super Saiyan to show off. Twilight watched in shock. "Y-Your hair... H-How..." Twilight asked. People from afar could see the shining warrior. Gohan reverted back to base form. "I won't be needing that." He said as he seemingly appeared in front of Twilight and started to repeatedly punch her all over her body except the chest. He then kicked her, teleported behind her and roundhouse kicked her, teleported behind her again and kicked her, did it again, and ended it by smashing his fist into Twilight's stomach, making her cough. Twilight grabbed her stomach in pain. "Y-You..." She muttered. "I don't want to keep hurting you, Twilight. You may possess one of the most powerful forms of magic, and the ability to warp dimensions. However, it truly pales in comparison to the magic of Friendship! Sunset!" Gohan yelled. Sunset Shimmer stood up. "But they're powerless now!" She said. "Not yet!" Gohan said. Twilight darted forward and tried to punch Gohan with a magic powered fist, but he dodged, grabbed her arm and threw her over his shoulder. "Goten! The pendant!" Gohan yelled. Goten rushed to the pendant. "What do I do with it?" He asked. Gohan avoided another blast from Twilight, knocking it away. He fired a powerful blast at Twilight, further damaging and enraging her. "Pass it to Sunset!" Gohan yelled, firing pea shots at Twilight in an effort to further enrage her. Goten tossed the pendant to Sunset Shimmer and she caught it. "Now what!?" She asked. The rest of the Humane 6 were helped stand up by the CPA students. "You should know by now." Gohan said, whacking another blast of magic away. Sunset Shimmer looked to her friends. "What is he even talking about?" Rainbow Dash asked. Sunset Shimmer now realized what she had to do. "Girls, I'm sorry, I have to do this." She said. Sunset Shimmer held the pendant high. The Humane 6 had what little magic they had left absorbed by the pendant. Even Sunset Shimmer, who had a ton to spare. She looked inside the pendant and the magic it contained. Gohan smashed his fist into Twilight's gut, immobilizing her for a while. She was in huge pain to try and attack again. Gohan flew to the girls. "Goten, take it!" He said. Sunset Shimmer handed the pendant to Goten. Gohan picked Goten up. "I'm going to throw you, and I need you to direct this magic at her!" Gohan said. Goten nodded. Gohan swung him around a few times before letting loose. Goten flew straight at Twilight. Twilight managed to get herself to try blasting Goten. Goten powered up and made his aura flare. Twilight managed to hold Goten off for a bit. "TWILIGHT!" Spike screamed, appearing out of nowhere. Twilight looked down at Spike. "Spike?" She asked, her eyes suddenly turning normal again. "Hyaaaaaaaaa....AAAAAH!" Goten yelled. Goten broke through Twilight's blast. He aimed the magic at Twilight and... He... Blasted the magic somehow. It even surprised Gohan. Goten pulled a Kid Goku vs King Piccolo on Twilight. Except he blasted her stomach and not did not push through her. Twilight coughed blood as she desperately reached for nothing. She gradually fell. Her magic was sequentially returned to everyone, including from the pendant. The Humane 6 all ponied up. All of the portals deactivated. Except for the one going to Equestria, that one remained inside the block of stone without the Wondercolts statue. And her form returned to normal. Gohan jumped up and caught Twilight before she would eventually hit the ground. You know, bridal style. Sunset Shimmer was a little jealous. Can you guess why? He laid her down on the ground and gave her a senzu bean. Her hair was ruined a bit. Twilight sat up. She looked up to see Gohan. "You... Saved me?" She asked. Gohan chuckled. "Why wouldn't I?" He asked. The students from both schools began to go back. "....I-I'm so sorry... I didn't mean for any of this to happen..." Twilight said, crying. Gohan merely held his hand out. Twilight was confused. "Y-You... A-After all I've...?" She managed to say. "You wouldn't be the first person. I've- No. We all have learned that friendship is the ultimate magic. Even a tiny fraction of it was enough to destroy the evil in your heart." Gohan said. Twilight hesitantly took Gohan's hand. Gohan immediately brought her up. "Trust me when I say that we all forgive you, Twilight." He said. Twilight instinctively hugged Gohan while crying, much to his surprise. He then hugged back. "Aw, hugs are nice." He said. Twilight realized what she was doing, broke the hug and blushed slightly. Then Spike tackle hugged Twilight's face with her glasses. Twilight laughed as Spike licked her. Cinch watched behind the bleachers. She walked up to the two principals and dean walking outside the school. "Principal Celestia, I demand you forfeit the Friendship Games! Clearly CHS has had unfair advantage for quite some time and it's certainly obvious that your students have been using magic for their own benefit." Cinch said. "I think saving the world with magic and ki benefits us all. By the way, he isn't using magic." Celestia said, pointing at Gohan. "At least they didn't manipulate Twilight into releasing all the stolen magic and turning into a power-crazed magical creature that tried to rip the world apart just to win a game." Sugarcoat said at a very fast speed. "Wow! That's a lot to take in when you say it all at once." Pinkie Pie said. "That's ridiculous!" Cinch retorted. "Nope. That's pretty much what happened." Spike said, much to everyone's surprise. "Actually, we're all to blame..... Mostly it was her." Sour Sweet said. "Obviously my students have been infected with your magic! I plan taking this all up with the school board!" Cinch declared. "Good! I'm sure they'll be interested in the magical students with wings." Celestia said. Everyone realized how freaking absurd it sounded. "Oh, and the portals to different dimensions." Luna said. "And don't forget to tell them about the talking dog and the toddler and teenager who can change their eye color, hair color and hairstyle at will. Also who shoot laser beams out of their hands and move at superhuman speeds." Cadence said. Cinch was brimming with rage. "Don't forget feet, eyes, mouth and many other parts of the body!" Gohan added. "Because that would NEVER ruin your reputation." Spike said. She turned to the students and non students around her. They all either smirked at her or had a mean face towards her. She was seemingly going to explode... But instead casually walked away. "Well, I know this Friendship Games isn't what any of us expected. But given that what we've all just been through, I think it's fair to declare us all winners." Celestia said. Everyone cheered. Gohan walked over to Goten, who was still a Super Saiyan. He reached into his pouch for his final senzu bean. "You did great, sport." He said, giving it to Goten. "Thanks Gohan!" Goten said, reverting back to base form and eating the bean. "No problem, buddy." Gohan said, rubbing Goten's hair. "We couldn't have done it without you." He said. *** Twilight was given the chance to transfer to Canterlot High! The Humane 6 and the brothers were outside the portal. They all got a gold medal, even though Fluttershy was out and Goten didn't even participate for the tryouts. The students from Crystal Prep were still here. "Are you leaving already?" Fluttershy asked. "We won't leave yet, I still have to teach you all ki." Gohan said. "And how to fly!" Goten added. "Hey Sunset, did Princess Twilight get you a message yet?" Rainbow Dash asked. Sunset Shimmer checked her book and nothing appeared yet. "Nope. Nothing yet. But I think I figured it out. We all pony up when we show the truest part of ourselves. I was so busy for someone else to give me the answers and I gave up looking for them myself. I'm sure there will be more magical problems that'll pop up in this world." Sunset Shimmer said. "And if they're some kind of monster bent on ruling the world or somethin', we got two Super Saiyans to fend it off." Applejack said. "Yeah, but you can't expect us to be around to fix everything." Gohan said. "Maybe I can be?" Twilight asked. Everyone turned to Twilight who was with Celestia. "It seems we have a new Wondercolt here at Canterlot High!" Celestia announced. "I'm not sure how much help I can be. But I'd like to try! I-If you'd all give me a chance." Twilight said. The Humane 6 all looked at each other and smiled. "I'm sure you girls and boys can help her feel at home." Celestia said. "Duh! We're all friends here!" Gohan said before anyone else. Everyone got into a group hug with Twilight. "Also, we're fellow nerds, right?" Gohan asked. "Right!" Twilight said. *** The nine were having a picnic outside the portal. Just before training. Pinkie Pie was lounging on the slab (top of the portal), Rarity was doing Rainbow Dash's hair, Applejack watched, Sunset Shimmer watched as she drank juice and ate a sandwich, Fluttershy was tending to Spike, Goten was also drinking juice and the nerds spoke tons of banter nobody else understood. Sunset Shimmer watched Gohan and Twilight in a little jealousy. They were getting along pretty well. 'Too well, perhaps? No, what am I thinking...?' She thought. Then the Equestrian Twilight came bursting through the portal. "I'm so sorry I didn't get here sooner! I didn't get your messages until just now because I was caught in this time travel loop and, honestly, it was the strangest thing that's ever happened to me!" She sputtered. Then she saw this world's Twilight, who we'll now refer to as Sci-Twi. "Make that the second strangest..." Twilight said. "Well, we fixed the problem, Twilight." Gohan said. "Great!... Should I leave?" Twilight asked. "I'm seriously ready to try and get thoughts of you all turning into ponies your not." She said. "I... I think you need a therapist now." Gohan said, pointing at Twilight. Author's Note The next chapter will be Gohan teaching again. Also, who can guess what Sunset's secret is? Why do I even bother, of course you do! Aftermath of the Friendship Games (Another Training Session)"So, how does it feel meeting your counterpart, Twilight?" Gohan asked. "Very surprised. I'm almost speechless." Twilight and Sci-Twi said. "She's the Princess of Friendship!" Pinkie Pie said. "That means she knows EEEVERYTHING about friendship!" She added. "Everything...?" Sci-Twi asked. "Everything." Gohan said. "Well, that's definitely an overstatement, it's definitely impossible to know every single thing about such a vast subject." He added. "That's true." Twilight and Sci-Twi said. "And this Twilight needs to learn a lot about friendship." Gohan said. "Yeah... I realized that I'd rather have friends than be a friendless she-demon." Sci-Twi said. "Just like me!" Sunset Shimmer said. Everyone laughed. "Okay, it seems you guys have everything under control. And Sunset, you better do the thing soon." Twilight said, winking before going back to Equestria. "What is she talking about?" Fluttershy asked. "I-It's a... An assignment! Yeah, something to write to her about friendship." Sunset Shimmer said. "You take friendship lessons from her?" Twilight asked. "Uh... Technically, these people taught me about it. Especially him." Sunset Shimmer said, pointing at Gohan. "What did he do?" Twilight asked. "He was being awesome!" Rainbow Dash said. "...Anyway, he's the most merciful person I've ever met. When they made me realize I needed friendship, he was literally the first person to forgive me. Almost fifteen seconds after they defeated me. He can actually just destroy this entire planet in the blink of an eye." Sunset Shimmer said. "Uh... That's true, but not something I'd do." Gohan said. "Isn't it scientifically impossible to destroy a planet on your own?" Twilight asked. "This guy right here defies all logic! You know, with his 4300 kilos of clothing which he wears every single day, and-" "WHAT!?" Twilight interrupted Pinkie Pie. "You're bluffing!" Twilight said. "The maximum a person has ever lifted is just about 400 kilograms!" She said. "Well, clearly not, I'm wearing this everyday." Gohan said. "I'm going to need some proof of this!" Twilight said. "Gohan, give her your shirt." Rainbow Dash said. "Okay." Gohan said, removing his arms and head from the orange shirt, making it stay on but it dropped down low. He then took off his shirt without realizing his torso was exposed. He just left it on the ground. Everyone was looking at him. "Uh... Why are you all staring?" Gohan asked. Rarity cleared her throat. "Ah, well, uh... We see that, uh..." She said. "How does a kid have that kind of upper body!?" Rainbow Dash asked. "It's..." Fluttershy said. She couldn't even finish her sentence. Goten looked to the girls then at Gohan. "You might want to put the orange shirt on, Gohan." He said. Gohan realized. "Oh, crapbaskets, come on you guys!" He said, putting his orange shirt back on and blushing. The girls blushed and giggled. "Why didn't you guys say anything before, come on!" Gohan said. Sunset Shimmer covered her face with her hands and giggled. "The other world's you did the same thing when it just got destroyed, why!?" Gohan asked. "I have a feeling that Gohan is really inept when it comes to attracting girls..." Rarity said. "W-What do you mean...?" Gohan asked. "That's probably something we should discuss about another day." Applejack said. "...Anyway, try picking that shirt up. It's clean, I promise." Gohan said. Twilight attempted to pick up the shirt to no avail. "It's certainly heavy...!" Twilight said, straining to pick it up. "A thousand kilograms is a little much for many. Goten, try picking it up." Gohan said. Goten stood up and walked over to the shirt and picked it up with ease. Just over 1 ton? No problem. Everyone looked in awe. Especially Twilight. "It's a little heavy, but I can take it!" Goten said. "T-That... What... Why!?" Twilight stuttered. "Pass, Goten." Gohan said. Goten tossed the shirt to Gohan. "Okay, now can you please look away?" Gohan asked. "No promises." Pinkie Pie said, turning away. Everyone else turned away. Gohan started to put his shirt back on. Sunset Shimmer couldn't help but take a teensy tiny super duper small peek and look away again. Pinkie Pie giggled. "What's so funny?" Rainbow Dash asked. "It's a secret~!" Pinkie Pie taunted. "Okay, you can look again." Gohan said. And they did just that. "So, are we ready for training?" He asked. *** The teacher, seven pupils and possibly one more pupil were on the empty soccer field. "Okay, we have two new people... If you'd like to participate." Gohan said. "Totally!" Goten said. "I think I'll sit this one out." Twilight said, sitting on the bleachers. "Alright, Goten. We're going to start by running. Come on!" Gohan said, running at a slow pace for the others to catch up. The Humane 6 were running right behind Gohan. Goten? He dashed around the freaking place with lightning speed. Gohan had to stick his hand out to stop Goten in his tracks. "Why don't we slow down a bit? Let them keep up with us, then you can go all out." Gohan said. "Aw! I wanted to go fast!" Goten said. Gohan sighed and smiled. "Fine. Just don't knock into anyone." He said. "Yay!" Goten said, leaping up before running around at full speed again. "Uh... This is really fast for a six year old..." Rainbow Dash said. "You know- He surpassed a lot of people already. I don't know how." Gohan said. "And he's a Super Saiyan..." Applejack said. "Kids these days are learning how to do this stuff backwards. Usually you learn ki before turning Super Saiyan." Gohan said. "That's strange." Sunset Shimmer said. "Yeah." Gohan said. "Come on, girls! We can go faster than this!" Pinkie Pie said, going at a faster speed. She went past Gohan. "Yeah!" Everyone but Fluttershy said. "Oh, uh... I don't think so..." Fluttershy said. "Don't be a wimp, Fluttershy!" Rainbow Dash said. Gohan slowed down to be behind Fluttershy. "Don't listen to that, you can keep up." He said. "I-I can't." Fluttershy said. "Here, I'll help you." Gohan said, lightly pushing Fluttershy as they picked up speed. "A... A Little! Too... Fast!" Fluttershy said. Fluttershy was losing more stamina. "Don't worry, you can push on!" Gohan said. The two managed to run past the other five girls. "Hey! That's cheating!" Rainbow Dash said. "She's pushing her limits, don't worry." Gohan said. "Go-Go...Gohan! I can't!" Fluttershy said in between pants. "Please, you can't give up yet!" Gohan said. "But it's too much!" Fluttershy said in between pants. "I... I can only see through a pinhole..." She said. "You're not dying on me!" Gohan said. Twilight was taking down notes. "Little brother can move over 1,000 mph. Possibly 100,000. Incredible stamina." She was extremely surprised seeing a being like this. "How do they possess such strength and not go insane like I did...?" Twilight muttered. Then she realized. 'Friendship can prevent loneliness and anger, that's for sure.' She thought, writing it down. "Whatcha writing?" Goten asked, startling Twilight. "Ah! W-When did you...?" Twilight asked. "I just got here." Goten said. "Um... I am taking down notes. You can move at extraordinary speeds and Friendship can do a lot." Twilight said. "Okay!" Goten said, jumping away and went back to running. 'This is ridiculous, I must be dreaming. No human alive can move that fast.' Twilight thought. Fluttershy and Gohan actually ran 19 laps before Fluttershy eventually collapsed. The others stopped at 13, and Goten is an unknown number and still going. "Nice job! You did really well!" Gohan said. "Tha.... Than.... T... Bleh.... Thanks you..." Fluttershy managed to say. "No time to chat, you'll lose more energy." Gohan said. "O-Okay!" Fluttershy said a little too nervously. "C-Calm down, you don't need to be nervous on us." Gohan said. Goten finally stopped and tugged on Gohan's shirt. "Can we fight while they rest?" He asked. "I guess." Gohan said. "We're going to spar for just a bit." He said, using his fingers to show 'a bit.' "Okay. Then give us a show!" Rainbow Dash said in between pants. "That would be entertaining." Rarity said. "And Twilight could get more notes!" Goten said. Gohan chuckled. "Yep... Alright, let's do this." He said, jumping ten feet away diagonally. Goten did the same the other way and turned Super Saiyan. Goten jumped at Gohan, throwing barrages of punches and kicks. The two were moving all over the soccer field. 'Interesting... Gohan isn't turning yellow.' Twilight thought, writing: "Gohan > Goten" Gohan kicked Goten in the chest, then Goten smashed his fist into Gohan's cheek, then Gohan blasted Goten, then Goten tripped Gohan and kicked him towards the sky, then Gohan fell back down blocking a punch, and then Goten couldn't hit Gohan anymore. He kept dodging. Gohan eventually blocked a heavy punch with crossed arms and kicked Goten away. Goten jumped with his hands and landed on his feet, instantly dashing towards Gohan again. Gohan was on the defense again. Twilight wrote down notes. "Travel speed of subjects might be much slower compared to actual combat speed." Goten eventually landed a punch on Gohan's cheek, but Gohan maneuvered underneath the airborne Goten and kicked him towards the sky. He tossed up two ki blasts. Goten caught one and blocked the other, making smoke appear. He tried using the smoke to hide his incoming attack but... Yeah, you know why it won't work. Goten came out of the smoke, seemingly about to smash it into Gohan. Gohan crossed his arms above his head in an attempt to block. Goten actually fell in front of Gohan, throwing the blast at Gohan's chest. Gohan was pretty surprised by the attack. "Nice job Go-" He said before Goten kicked him in the face. Gohan grabbed his foot and tossed him to the side. Goten powered up, preventing himself from flying far. "Don't hold back, Gohan! Show me 100% of your power!" Goten said as he landed. "Uh... Are you sure?" Gohan asked. "Yes!" Goten said. "Er... Alright, I guess." Gohan said. Gohan took a deep breath and powered up with a yellow aura. He went full power in his base form. "I'm in full control now." He said. "I'm gonna attack now!" Goten said. "Take all the time you need." Gohan said with a smirk. Goten ran up to Gohan and punched him in the chest. And Gohan just did not flinch. [(5,200,000,000 <<<<< 53,500,000,000) Current Power Levels) Everyone was really surprised. "Is Gohan really that much stronger than a regular Super Saiyan...?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "I don't understand how Gohan could tank a blow like that." Rainbow Dash said. "Wow! You're super strong!" Goten said. Gohan smiled. "Thanks." He said. Goten kept trying with multiple punches, but nothing happened. Eventually Gohan grabbed a fist and turned to the girls. "Maybe we should cut this short. They've rested up enough." He said, letting go. "Okay!" Goten said, powering down. "Alright! Push-ups, sit-ups and plenty of juice!" Gohan called. The girls instantly stood up then got on the ground to start with push-ups, and then sit-ups. Gohan walked Goten to the students. "Goten, do as many push-ups as you can, then do as many sit-ups, okay?" Gohan asked. Goten nodded. "Okay!" He said, doing just that. Gohan got on the ground and began his one arm push-ups. Eventually it shifted to sit-ups. And Applejack brought a case of fizzy apple cider. And then they were finally learning ki. "Hey Twilight! You might want to learn this!" Gohan yelled. Twilight walked over to Gohan and sat down like the others. "Okay... Time to teach you ki and how to fly. I know your anxious to get started, so let's just dive right in. So, we need to learn energy control. Which... Y'know, isn't tough once you get the hang of it." Gohan said. "What about flying fast?" Rainbow Dash asked. "You're gonna have to get used to that. That actually takes time." Gohan said. "Ki and energy control? What do they mean?" Twilight asked. "Well, ki is life energy. Everyone has it, but not everyone knows how to use it. That's where energy control comes in. We just need to find it in each of us. Except for Rainbow, I gave her the ability for Hearth's Warming." Gohan said. "Heck yeah!" Rainbow Dash said, throwing a weak blast (technically her strongest) into the sky. "Alright, so everyone, get into a comfortable sitting position, like this." Gohan said, sitting down and crossing his legs. So, everyone, including Twilight did just that. "Now, each of you, that means you too, Goten, listen. I'll go first. Quiet your mind and relax." Gohan said. "When you're ready, slowly bring out your energy from within." He said. He brought his hands close together and very, very slowly made a ball of yellow ki appear. Twilight was very intrigued and leaned forward to get a closer look. Perhaps a bit too far... Her face was right in front of the ki. "We want to see, Twilight." Sunset Shimmer said. "S-Sorry!" Twilight said, going back. "It's pretty intriguing for someone looking at it firsthand." Gohan said, making the ball disappear. "Now, the rest of you, try it." Gohan said. Gohan looked at the students who were trying. Goten instantly got it. "Hey look! I did it!" He said, throwing the yellow ball at Gohan. Gohan let it hit him in the face. "Nice job, Goten. Now, let's give them a chance." He said. Sunset Shimmer had a red spark in between her hands. "There you go. Almost there." Gohan said. The spark was getting bigger, and Sunset concentrated as hard as she could. Then, she got the red ki blast. It was fairly weak, but it still worked. "Alright! I did it!" Sunset Shimmer cheered. "You're a natural at this! I guess a magic user would be a quick learner with this stuff. Good job, Sunset." Gohan said. Sunset Shimmer couldn't hold the ki anymore, and it disappeared. "Woah... This is hard." Sunset Shimmer said. "You'll get used to it eventually." Gohan said. Pinkie Pie was struggling the most. She was focusing way too hard. "Pinkie, instead of just focusing, you have to relax then focus the energy out." Gohan said. "Huh? Relax then focus?" Pinkie Pie asked. Gohan nodded. Applejack just did it, getting a yellow ki blast. "Hey! I got it!" She said. "Nice job. How does it feel?" Gohan asked. "It hurts just to keep it for so long." Applejack said. "Maybe you should let it go." Gohan said. Applejack let loose, accidentally setting the ki blast to fly into the skies. "Uh..." Applejack said. "Don't worry about it. It won't harm anything." Gohan said. Fluttershy managed to get her pink ki out. She smiled brightly once she got it. "Nice job, Fluttershy." Gohan said. "R-Really?" Fluttershy asked, accidentally letting it loose and hitting Gohan in the face. "Oh my goodness, I'm so sorry!" She instantly said. The smoke died down. "Don't worry, I'm not dead." Gohan said. "Are you hurt?" Fluttershy asked. "Definitely not." Gohan said. "Yeah Fluttershy, he's taken on worse hits." Rainbow Dash said. "Like a broken arm and neck." Gohan said. "Like a broken- What?" Rainbow Dash asked. "How are you not paralyzed!? Or dead!?" Twilight asked. "The same way you're still alive. Senzu beans." Gohan said. "Oh... I still don't understand how that bean works..." Twilight said. "Trust me, it's just best not to look into it." Gohan said. Rarity managed to get a blue ki. "Oh my." She said. "There you go!" Gohan said. "Well, this is certainly amazing!" Rarity said. She let it disappear. "Keep doing it and get the hang of it." Gohan said. Pinkie Pie finally managed to get a pink ki. "Whoopie! I did it!" She cheered, accidentally making dozens of them fly sporadically. Luckily, none of them hit the girls but a lot of them hit Gohan. Pinkie Pie stopped it. "Oops." She said. "Well, you certainly possess a lot of ki..." Gohan said, wiping his face. "So, Twilight, do you want to give it a shot?" He asked. "M-Me? I want to study this, not use it!" Twilight said. "The only way you'll know firsthand is if you actually learn it yourself. I promise, you won't die." Gohan said. "Uh..." Twilight said. "I guess it'll be too hard considering your strength... Or lack of strength. We've been practicing for a few months for this to work for them this easily." Gohan said. "So... She's not doing it?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "If she really doesn't want to. In fact, it's up to her if she even wants to join this thing." Gohan said. "Wait! I'll try." Twilight said. "Okay." Gohan said. Twilight relaxed... She cleared her mind then tried to focus her ki. She strained incredibly hard. You could see her sweating already. "N-Now Twilight, you don't have to hurt your-" Gohan said before he saw the tiniest purple spark of ki. "She's actually doing it." Fluttershy said. Twilight was burning up and turning red. "Twilight, you might wanna slow down." Pinkie Pie said. Twilight managed to create a minor ki blast... She couldn't take it anymore so she held it out (you know, kinda like Vegeta's Final Flash) and let it loose. It hit Gohan's shirt, putting a tiny hole in the orange one. "Well... That's just great." Gohan said. "I'm so sorry!" Twilight said. "No no, it's fine. I have a ton of these at home... Are you okay? You're a little burned out." Gohan said. "I'm... I'm fine. I'm surprised anyone can even do a tiny blast. Let alone what you're probably capable of." Twilight said. "Why doesn't he show us a powerful blast?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Yeah, that'd be cool!" Goten said. "Yeah, show us the Kamehameha." Sunset Shimmer said. "Yeah! Or the Demon Flash!" Pinkie Pie said. "Yeah, the- What?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "Masenko means Demon Flash or Demon Glint." Gohan said. "How did you...?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "I do things other than partying, you know!" Pinkie Pie said. "Well... Can you demonstrate?" Twilight asked. "I guess." Gohan said, standing up. He cupped his hands together. "Kamehame..." He said, making the ball appear in between is hands. He decided it make it incredibly big, so he extended his hands and made the blast as big as it possibly could. "HA!" Gohan exclaimed, blasting the beam into the sky. It became larger as it went towards the sky. Everyone looked in awe. But Twilight was the most surprised. The blast caught the attention of everyone nearby, but nobody checked. The blast died down. Gohan looked to his students and they were pretty amazed. "It never gets old." Rainbow Dash said. Twilight's glasses were falling off, and she fixed them. "H-How does it sustain it's form!?" Twilight asked. "I don't know. Perhaps it's the power it has that keeps it going for so long. It won't destroy a planet in 4000 years or something." Gohan said. "That sounds vaguely specific." Twilight said. "Well, when I or the people I knew used it at full power, we wondered what happens when it just blasts out into space. If it sustains its form for so long, it's all a matter of if it hits anything. Like I said, it'll probably take thousands of years until it hits something in the vastness of space. If it does... Probably destroy a planet, a star, maybe even an entire solar system." Gohan said. "That's impossible." Twilight said. Gohan turned to Twilight and smirked. "Do you want to test that theory?" He asked, turning Super Saiyan. "Uh... Actually, on second thought, I believe you. I want to stay here." Twilight said. Gohan reverted back to base form. "I wouldn't have done it anyway, I can't breathe in space." He said. "It's impossible for anyone to breathe in space. It's a vacuum." Twilight said. "Ugh! Your egghead talk is BORING!" Rainbow Dash said. Gohan chuckled. "It's pretty important. Science is the exact reason why you exist, Rainbow." He said. "Yeah, I knew that. But I don't want to learn about that stuff, it's too boring." Rainbow Dash said. "I personally find it amusing." Twilight said. "I couldn't figure that one out." Rainbow Dash said sarcastically. "Alright, back to work, we need to work on energy control. You too, Rainbow, you need to learn how to change the strength of the blast." Gohan said. "Okay, we're ready!" Everyone said. "Once that's covered, we can finally move on to flying! Though that may take a few sessions... Including this." Gohan said. Everyone "Aw!"ed. "I'm sorry! I hope you can master it quickly..." Gohan said. "Well, we can try! We can't blame you for teaching us." Sunset Shimmer said, standing up. "Yeah! We can do it!" Pinkie Pie said. Everyone cheered before trying to master ki again. Goten was spot on, he got into it quickly. The others... Not so much. Goten was blasting Gohan with full force. Gohan destroyed all of them. "Nice job, Goten! Now, try using both strong and weak blasts." He said. Goten was an expert in an instant. "Nice! You're a natural, Goten!" Gohan said. "Yay!" Goten said. "Wait. Let me try..." He added. "Try wha- Oh!" Gohan said and Goten cupped his hands together. "Kamehameha!" Goten yelled, actually firing a small, yet strong Kamehameha wave. Everyone looked in awe as Goten seemingly got it in an instant. "Oh... My... Gosh..." Gohan said. "The kid's a natural! I'll be!" Applejack said. "That was so awesome! I wish I could do that." Rainbow Dash said. "W-Well, you're capable of doing it too, you just need proper energy control..." Gohan said. "...But Goten is a natural! I guess he gets it from our dad..." He added. "Yay! I can do it! Yay!" Goten cheered as he ran in circles and did flips. The girls looked and giggled. Gohan chuckled. Then the girls went back into trying again. Twilight was doing the worst, she could only muster a few sparks of ki, barely forming a purple ki blast. Fluttershy was only second worst, only making a powerful, or if you can call it powerful, but heavily strained pink ki blast. Rarity and Applejack were doing alright. Making a few blue and yellow ki blasts respectively. Sunset Shimmer was going good, making a good amount of orange ki blasts. Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie were doing the best, making plenty of yellow and pink ki blasts respectively. That doesn't mean they weren't winded so easily. They still struggled to keep it under control, too. Either they were too powerful or too weak. Twilight, it was just... Bleh. This went on for a few hours. *** Eventually, it was time to go home. Everyone was in front of the portal. "I still can't believe we can't fly yet!" Rainbow Dash said. "It does sound a tad bit absurd..." Rarity said. "You guys can't control it. Especially Pinkie, it's just too much for her." Gohan said. "I can make it fly everywhere!" Pinkie Pie said. "But each of those blasts are divided in power, especially when they're that numerous. Each one's power would be divided about 50." Gohan said. "Wow. That's some impressive math." Twilight said. "As my first teacher said... 'NEEERRD!'" Gohan said. "Really?" Fluttershy asked. "Yeah, he yelled that at me. I lost count." Gohan said. "That sounds mean." Sunset Shimmer said. "Well, he wasn't the easiest teacher. He was all about discipline." Gohan said. "He really made a man out of me even though I was only four." He added. "It's like you grew up at a young age, what the heck!?" Pinkie Pie asked. "Gohan's cool that way!" Goten said. "Well... I don't know about cool, but... Maybe subpar...?" Gohan asked. "Don't be an idiot! You're like, 100 times awesomer than me!" Rainbow Dash said. "Yeah, don't think you're lesser than you already are. It's like you're the complete opposite of a narcissist." Sunset Shimmer said. "Well, that about wraps it up. Goten and I will be heading on home. Try to practice ki if you'd like." Gohan said. "Maybe. When can we fly?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Once you get energy control." Gohan said. "Maybe one or two more sessions." He said. "Ugh." Rainbow Dash said. "Chin up, Rainbow." Applejack said. "I'll try to be back in at least two days... Or a week? I dunno. Maybe with Goten again." Gohan said. "Cool!" Goten said. "Well, see ya later!" Pinkie Pie said. "Bye!" Everyone else said. Gohan and Goten waved before they entered the portal again. 'Really, Sunset, why aren't you going to tell him yet?' Sunset Shimmer thought. *** Gohan and Goten finally returned to Equestria after a few days. Twilight was gleefully waiting for them. "So...!?" Twilight asked very excitedly. "We had a fun time at the Friendship Games." Gohan said. "Yeah! Gohan kicked everybody's butts!" Goten said. "Well... Great! Anything else...?" Twilight asked. "Uh... You met your doppelgänger. Uh... Goten mastered energy control in an instant." Gohan said. "Um... Anything related to Sunset Shimmer?" Twilight asked. "Not that I know of." Gohan said. "Well... Okay then. I need you here in private for a moment." Twilight said, trotting into another room. "Goten, stay here for a moment." Gohan said, walking into the room. He saw exactly what he felt, Starlight Glimmer. A very nervous one at that. "Um... Hi!" She said. "Hello, Starlight." Gohan said. "Starlight's my student now." Twilight said. "Great!" Gohan said, much to Starlight's surprise. "I... Huh?" Starlight asked. "Glad to have you on our side." Gohan said, gesturing for a hand/hoofshake. "A-Aren't you angry with me?" Starlight asked. "Uh... You did something bad before, but you've changed. So let's shake! Or hug, I don't care. You're my friend now." Gohan said. Starlight was really confused and surprised. "Uh... I expected you to want to kill me or something." She said. "What? No way, I could've killed you when you ran away." Gohan said. "Oh... Uh..." Starlight said. "Look, just" Gohan said, hugging Starlight. "accept my friendship now, even though it seems completely random." He said. "This is what I meant by he's a different kind of fellow." Twilight said. "T-Thank you..." Starlight said. *** Gohan and Goten returned to the home to find... An actual house. Like, an actual house that can house people and ponies. "Gohan? What happened to the old house?" Goten asked. "I'm... Not sure." Gohan said. Princess Celestia appeared behind them. "Hello, Princess." Gohan said. "Hello, Gohan. Goten. I'm pleased to inform you that these homes are yours. Your belongings are placed inside." Celestia said. "No way!" Gohan said. "It will sustain you and Goten." Celestia said. "Thank you so much!" Gohan and Goten said. "It is not a problem. I am deeply grateful for your service to Equestria, and I hope this can repay some of the debt we owe to you." Celestia said, bowing. "Repay me? This is more than just repaying me, I'd have to repay you at this rate!" Gohan said. Celestia giggled. "Anyway, I must lower the Sun soon. Please, have a wonderful evening." She said, teleporting away. "She's very nice." Goten said. "You have no idea. Now, let's see the inside of the house!" Gohan said. The house was just like the house Goku and Chi Chi had. What does Sunset really want to tell Gohan? Will they learn to fly soon? Are any of you actually confused as to what Sunset really wants to say? Find out next time, on Dragon Ball GT! Wait, no. I meant AF. No, Absalon. Wait, no, actually it's- The CrystallingFive of the Mane 6 excluding Twilight, Goten and Gohan were in the throne room. "Well, I think we should leave ASAP. I don't wanna miss the crystalling!" Rainbow Dash said. Then Starlight came into the room. "But, um, should we wait for an invitation?" Fluttershy asked. "Frankly, I'm not exactly clear on the customs and traditions of the Crystal Empire. Especially when it comes to a crystalling." Applejack said. "What's a crystalling?" Both Goten and Starlight asked. "W-Well, that's just it, darling. Princess Cadence and Shining Armor's baby is due any day and we're still not sure. The Crystal Empire has been gone for a thousand years, and a lot of their customs are a bit murky." Rarity said. "We know it's got something to do with the new baby." Applejack said. "And a party!" Pinkie Pie chimed in. "And the Crystal Heart." Fluttershy said. "And a party!" Pinkie Pie said, jumping in front of Fluttershy. "And some kind of cool energy. Well, y'know, other than Gohan's." Rainbow Dash said. "Aaaaaaaaaaaaand...." Pinkie Pie said, standing on her hind legs on the table. "A PARTY!" She said, letting confetti fly everywhere. "Who's Princess Cadence and Shining Armor?" Goten asked. "Princess Cadence is another princess in Equestria. She's the Princess of Love. Shining Armor is her husband Twilight's brother." Gohan said. "Cool!" Goten said. "But why are we so worried again? You guys do know we can technically go from here to the Crystal Empire in an instant." Gohan said. "How does that work?" Starlight asked. "Let me show you." Gohan said, standing up and placing a hand on Starlight's neck. He put his fingers to his forehead. They instantly vanished. *** They were in the Dragon Lands in an instant. "W-Wha...!?" Starlight asked. Then a dragon noticed the two and breathed fire towards them. Starlight screamed and took cover. Gohan just held his hand out and blocked it with his ki. "Calm down, nothing will harm you." Gohan said. Starlight stopped the screaming as she saw Gohan just casually stop fire with his hand. "I'll take you back now." Gohan said as the fire died down. He and Starlight vanished again. *** "Why does he just warp in and out of reality like that...?" Applejack asked. "That sounds like something Pinkie would do, and it's hard to understand, just like whatever the crystalling is." Rainbow Dash said. The two instantly appeared again. "W-What just happened?" Starlight asked. "We just went to the Dragon Lands." Gohan said. "But that's on the other side of Equestria!" Starlight said. "And I can move faster than light without Instant Transmission." Gohan said. "I- How...?" Starlight said. "Simple. I have a lot of ki, train at over a thousand times normal gravity and still manage move around without literally crapping out my spine and I can go Super Saiyan." Gohan said. "I don't understand how any of that works." Starlight said. "It's not that hard to understand." Spike said, coming into the room with a paper. "You mean you guys understand his powers?" Starlight asked. "Oh heavens no. I'm talking about the Crystal Empire's customs. Most of them aren't hard to understand. Like how I'm a big hero there, for example." Spike said, unveiling the picture of him. He even smirked. Rainbow Dash smirked back, Starlight, Pinkie and Applejack were unamused, Rarity was trying not to laugh, Fluttershy tried seeming nice about it, Goten was actually wanting to know how he was a hero and Gohan couldn't help but smile. Spike rolled up the paper in embarrassment. "...Plus I've had to do a ton of research with Twilight on crystallings." He said. Spike pulled out a vase with art on it. "Whenever a baby is born in the Crystal Empire, the parents bring it before the Crystal Heart. They get the purest shard of crystal they can find, and a crystaller to present the baby to everypony who comes! Then they all share the light and joy they feel, feeding it so that it joins with the Crystal Heart, and increases it's power. And this is going to be a royal crystalling, so pretty much everyone in the Crystal Empire is coming. And that hasn't happened in a millennia!" Spike said, putting the case away. "What do you mean increases the Crystal Heart's power?" Starlight asked. "I'm not very sure... I guess to give it magic to protect the Crystal Empire, I guess." Spike said. "Protect the Crystal Empire?" Starlight asked. "Let me explain. The Crystal Heart is powered by the denizens of the Crystal Empire through love and joy. The more love and joy there is, the more power it gains to protect the Crystal Empire from all kinds of evil and natrural occurances. It keeps the Frozen North from invading and covering it in snow. It also protected it from King Sombra after he tried reclaiming the Crystal Heart. It's pretty powerful. It's like me giving Goten a chunk of my power. The more ki he can store, the more powerful he gets." Gohan said. "Wow! The Crystal Empire sounds like fun!" Goten said. "Well, I guess you'll be a goduncle or something like that." Gohan said. *** The nine were on a train to the Crystal Empire. Fluttershy and Rarity sat together, Gohan and Goten sat together, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie and Applejack had their own seats, and Twilight and Starlight sat together. Starlight was dreading going to the Crystal Empire. Her first friendship lesson was reuniting with an old friend. And considering her... past 'blunders,' he might not want to talk to her again. His name was Sunburst. "Was there any reason not to let me use Instant Transmission to get us there in an instant?" Gohan asked. "Yeah, Twilight,-" Rainbow Dash said before yawning. "this is a lot more boring than exciting!" She said. "I'd like to build up anticipation about this! I'm an aunt!" Twilight said. "And I'm a godfather. Seriously, this is just as-" Gohan said before Twilight stared at him with a mean face. "-Almost as,-" Then she smiled again. "-excited for this." He finished. "Well, shoot, we're all pretty excited 'bout this!" Applejack said. She had something covered in a tarp and uncovered it to reveal a tiny crib for the new baby. "Made from genuine Sweet Apple Acres apple trees. We make 'em for all the Apples, and anypony related to Twilight is practically family." Applejack said. Twilight smiled at her. "Well, it's okay... But it's no Cloudsdale mobile! Bam!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed, pulling out a Cloudsdale mobile. "OOH! Pretty!" Pinkie Pie said, touching it and making one of the strings fall off. "Well, a mobile is nice... As long as you have something to lay in to look at it." Applejack said. "And a fetching blanket to keep you warm." Rarity said, replacing the apple blanket with her own. "I'm sure Shining Armor Princess Cadence will love all our gifts. But I think they're more happy that we're attending the baby's crystalling." Twilight said. "OOH! OOH! I can't wait to see all the light and love that make the Crystal Heart sparkly and shiny!" Pinkie yelled while hopping. "Actually, Pinkie, the Crystal Heart is an ancient relic. Without it's magic, the Crystal Empire would be lost to the Frozen North." Twilight said. "Wow, this Crystalling sounds pretty important. I'd understand if you wanted to... you know... wait to do a different friendship lesson when we get back." Starlight said. "Are you kidding? This trip is perfect! Not only do I get to see the baby and take part in the ceremony that helps maintain the magic of the Crystal Empire, but I'm starting my new pupil off with the most amazing friendship lesson ever! I can't wait!" Twilight said, hugging Starlight very closely. Starlight pushed her away slowly. "Right... Me neither." She lied. Spike gestured for her to tell Twilight the truth. "Actually, Twilight, I am a little worried about meeting Sunburst." Starlight said. "Oh trust me, I know what it's like to see old friends. But I'll be right there to help things along." Twilight said. She pulled out a long scroll. "I've broken down the process to a few easy steps to ensure this reunion goes off without a hitch!" She said. The scroll was like half the length of the damn train. Starlight chuckled nervously. "Uh... Twilight? I think your 'few easy steps' are just overboard by... Oh, not a lot just a ton." Gohan said. "Yeah that seems more like a lot more than a few!" Goten said. *** Eventually the group got to the train station, where Shining Armor was waiting. The door opened. Pinkie hopped out, Rainbow Dash flew out, everyone just stepped out. "Step 1, get to Starburst's house and get you two started on the right hoof. Step 2, get to the castle with enough time to visit the ba-" Twilight said before she bumped into a really, really screwed up Shining Armor. "Shining Armor!" She said. "Twi-light!" He managed to say, and the two hugged. "I didn't know you were meeting us!" Twilight said. "Of course I am! It's me! Here I am, why wouldn't I meet my sister! Don't we have met before...?" Shining Armor said. "You alright?" Twilight asked. "Never better! Being a father is amazing and wonderful and amazing and confusing and amazing! But, surprising too! Not that you'd know, you wouldn't know, I know, you know?" Shining Armor said. Everyone just looked at him funny. "Uh... Shining Armor?" Gohan asked as he stepped out. "You're probably gonna need this. You look terrible." He said, tossing a senzu bean at Shining Armor. "Thanks... I'm actually full of energy now!" Shining Armor said. "Good. The baby must be really running you ragged." Gohan said. Goten stepped out of the train. "Yeah, I'm a little...... Uh... D-Did you have a baby too?" Shining Armor asked. "No, he's my brother." Gohan said. "B-Brother!?" Shining Armor asked. "It came as a surprise to us too." Twilight said. "Hello sir. My name's Goten." Goten said. "Hello Goten. I'm Shining Armor. This is a big surprise... I'm sure Cadence will be surprised to see you." Shining Armor said. "But anyway, I need a break, and so does Cadence." Shining Armor said. "Oh, of course! I don't know what I was thinking... You two need all kinds of help. Sorry Starlight, maybe combining your first lesson with this visit wasn't such a good idea." Twilight said. "Oh! Uh... Don't be ridiculous! You're an aunt now! That's more important than some friendship lesson..." Starlight said. "I just wish there was a way to do both..." Twilight said. "Hm... Maybe there is." Spike said. "You've already done the work for Starlight's lesson with this list. All we have to do is follow it!" He said. Starlight facehoofed. "Spike, you're a genius!" Twilight said. "Yeah!... Genius." Starlight said. "Then it's settled! Shining Armor and I will be headed towards the the castle, and you and Spike can go to Sunburst's." Twilight said. "Aye aye, princess!" Spike said, saluting and walking away. "U-uh-huh!" Starlight said so nervously. "Why are you so scared?" Gohan asked. "Huh?" Starlight asked. "I can genuinely feel fear from you. What's going on?" He asked. "Oh, it's nothing. Just a bit nervous about my first friendship lesson!" Starlight said. "Seriously, I can tell a lie just by your ki. Should I come with you or something?" Gohan asked. "That can work." Starlight said. "Okay, then you three, head to Sunburst's!" Twilight said. "Alright. Take care of Goten for me, alright?" Gohan asked. "Not another baby!" Shining Armor said. "I'm 6 and I can take care of myself!" Goten said, 'like a man!' "Don't worry, we'll take very good care of Goten." Fluttershy said, petting Goten. *** The three were walking around the Crystal Empire. "So, set me up to speed. Why exactly are you so worried that you're lying?" Gohan asked. "Sunburst is an old friend of mine. In short, I don't think he'd accept me and my friendship after all I've done." Starlight said. "Oh, I see. I understand completely." Gohan said. "How would you know?" Starlight asked. Gohan sighed. "I made a mistake too. It wasn't evil or anything, I just let it happen. Anyway, my entire family just disowned me and denounced me. Almost every friend of mine turned on me and tried murdering me. And that's why I'm here." He said. "W-What!?" Starlight asked. "You'll be fine. I don't come from a world where friendship is magic. I come from a world full of cyborgs and bio-cyborgs and aliens and a dog as president." Gohan said. "Wait, was that last one a joke?" Spike asked. "No, I'm actually serious." Gohan said. Starlight still wasn't ready, so she tried buying time. "What did you do that was so wrong?" She asked. "Well, I technically caused my father's second death." Gohan said. "Y-You...Huh?" Starlight asked. "Could you give me a little bit more detail?" She asked. "I was battling a new enemy too strong for any of us. Us being me, my dad and some others. But then a new power awakened in me. I surpassed the enemy. I was really stupid, and I toyed with him. He thought to self destruct, destroying the planet when he blew up. If I blasted him or anything, bye bye home. So my dad sacrificed himself, taking him to another planet with him, dying a warrior's death. He forgave me, but not everyone else agreed." Gohan said. "W-When were you going to tell me about this...?" Starlight asked. "When you asked. If you wanted to know why I'm here now, I used magical wish granting balls to escape." Gohan said. "Well... I'm surprised." Starlight said. "Why do you think I forgave you instantly?" Gohan asked. "Huh?" Starlight asked. "My father forgave me. Everyone here forgave me. Some of my worst enemies who literally tried to kill me was forgiven by my father. He became my ally and helped protect me from my friends and family turned enemies. I try following his ways by even wearing his gi." Gohan said, patting his gi. "Wow... That's... Pretty honorable." Starlight said. "I just want to be like my dad and get stronger, but I also want to follow my dream of being a scholar." Gohan said. "That's just confusing." Starlight said. "Yeah, he's a real brainiac. Just like Twilight." Spike said. Starlight still wanted to buy time. She noticed the statue of Spike... "Oh, wait! Is that you, Spike?" Starlight asked, pointing at the statue. "Huh? Yep, it sure is! Now, according to the list, Sunburst's location is-" "Why is it in the Crystal Empire?" Starlight interrupted. Then another pony of the Crystal Empire came up to her. "Because Spike the brave and glorious saved all of us from King Sombra!" She said. And another mare ran up to her. "And again during the Equestria Games!" She said. "Really?" Starlight asked. "Really." A stallion said. "Big fan." He said to Spike, shaking his hands with his hoof. "Um, when were you going to tell me about this?" Starlight asked. "Uh... It's no big deal." Spike said. "IT MOST CERTAINLY IS!" Many Crystal Ponies said. "That's it! We're not going anywhere until I get the whole story!" Starlight said, pulling up a chair for Spike and some popcorn. Crystal Ponies began gathering around him. "Okay, nice try, Starlight, but-" Gohan said, putting his hand on Starlight and Spike. They instantly vanished, shocking the ponies around. *** They instantly appeared in front of Sunburst's house. "W-What just happened?" Starlight asked. "Oh, I just teleported us to Sunburst's. Now go to that door and talk to him again. If he doesn't give you approval, I'll chime in, okay?" Gohan asked. "B-But..." Starlight said. "You need to do this now." Gohan said. Starlight gulped. "If not, I'll destroy the sun." Gohan lied. He ain't gon destroy that there sun. "W-What!?" Starlight asked. "I can destroy solar systems at this point. Let's hurry along now." Gohan said. Starlight slowly walked up to Sunburst's door and slowly knocked on it. After some painful waiting, the door creaked open. "Sunburst?" Starlight asked. "Yes?" Sunburst asked from inside. "What can I do for you?" He asked. "It... It's me, Starlight. We used to be friends." Starlight said. "Uh... Hm... Oh, uh, yes! Uh? Starlight! Yes, oh, uh, it's been such a long time! What uh, what have you been up to?" Sunburst asked. "Oh, me? I uh, y'know, some of this... Some of that different stuff... Um, right now, I'm sort of Twilight Sparkle's new pupil." Starlight said. "The Princess of Friendship!?" Sunburst asked. Starlight chuckled nervously. "Yeah! That's actually kind of why I'm here. I mean, I know you're probably very busy..." She said. "What do you mean?" Sunburst asked. "Well, I figured after magic school you'd go on to do important wizard work and..." Starlight said. "Well, no. I mean yes! Yes, that's me! I mean, yep! Important wizard! Really busy with lots of uh, wizard of stuff!" Sunburst said nervously. It was awkward. "Right! Well, good to see you." He said, closing the door. "Ugh... Gohan, I'll take it from here." Spike said. "You sure she doesn't need me to make sure she won't die from the moon crashing into her?" Gohan joked. "The Moon can crash into me!?" Starlight asked. "I mean, I can try." Gohan said. "DON'T TRY!" The two yelled. "Okay, okay. Are you sure you can get Starlight to actually get that guy to cough up the truth?" Gohan asked. "Truth?" Spike asked. "What, you couldn't notice his weird nervousness and him denying that he was a wizard?" Gohan asked. The two shook their heads. "But this list here'll do it!" Spike said. "Okay, then I'm off to see my goddaughter." Gohan said, teleporting away. *** The ponies inside the castle to meet the pony baby. "Before we go in, I should probably tell you seeing the baby might be a bit of a shock." Shining Armor said. Then Gohan appeared out of nowhere. "Hey! Did you guys see the baby yet?" He asked. "Uh, not yet. We're about to." Twilight said. Goten tackle hugged Gohan. "Hey sport!" Gohan said. "Even though it's only been about ten minutes." He said. "I still missed you!" Goten said. "But Gohan, the baby might be a surprise to you." Shining Armor said. "Why?" Gohan asked. "It shouldn't be a surprise," Twilight said, opening the doors. "I've met babies before! I expect meeting this one won't be any different!" She said. Cadence was in the room along with Celestia and Luna. "Twilight! It's good to... Who's that?" Cadence asked drowsily. "Hey Cadence. This is my brother Goten. This is the Princess of Love, Cadence." Gohan said. "Nice to meet you, princess." Goten said. "It's a pleasure to you too." Cadence said. "I heard you were tired." Gohan said, tossing a senzu bean over to her. "Oh... Thank you... and Now I feel incredible!" Cadence said. "Those beans are surely a miracle." Celestia said. The baby was in it's cradle. Everyone looked inside the cradle at the cute little unicorn baby! That is until it showed off it's wings, it's an alicorn. Everyone but the Saiyans were shocked. The baby made her baby noises. "Of course I could be wrong." Twilight said. "About what? It's such a cute little alicorn baby!" Gohan said. The baby sucked on her hoof. "But I thought alicorn wings had to be earned through some kind of worthy deed!" Rarity said. "Wait, really? Since that's not the case, don't you think the odds of it actually happening were just so slim until now?" Gohan asked. "The birth of an alicorn is something Equestria has never seen!" Celestia said. "It is beyond even our understanding." Luna said. "That's not very reassuring..." Fluttershy said. "That doesn't matter, it's still a really cute and powerful baby!" Gohan said, reaching into the cradle and holding the baby. The baby was laughing and giggling. "Aw... She's so cute. Hey! It's me! Your Godfather Gohan!" Gohan said, making a funny face. The baby laughed more. Everyone thought it was cute... Until the baby sneezed. She unleashed a fucking Broly blast on Gohan's face. His face was completely black as a result. "I was right about powerful, too. I actually felt that." Gohan said. The baby yawned and sucked her hoof again. She hurt herself doing that, so Gohan used his finger to pacify her. "This is adorable." Gohan said. "It appears her magic is more power than that of a newborn unicorn." Celestia said. "Yep. It's because she's an alicorn." Gohan said, wiping his face clean. "And she's a hybrid like me and Goten, and hybrids have huge potential." He added. "Crowds have already started to gather." Luna said. Pinkie Pie blew a balloon up and floated on the air. "This crystalling is gonna be some party!" She said, and the balloon popped. "Do you think we should call it off?" Cadence asked. "Um, we've all faced a lot worse than baby magic." Rainbow Dash said. "I can imagine cancelling such a beautiful and important ceremony over something so potentially adorable!" Rarity said. "Yep!" Everyone else agreed. "In light of the little one's abilities, this crystalling might be more important than ever." Celestia said. "Perhaps you should address your subjects about that." She added. Cadence nodded, and kissed the little baby on the forehead before trotting away. The baby stopped sucking and reached for it's mother in vain. The princesses were away now. Gohan put the baby back in it's crib. Now she reached for Gohan in vain. Then Pinkie Pie started playing with her. "Big brother, do you have everything you need for the ceremony?" Twilight asked. "Huh...? Oh no! I still have to interview the honor guards, choose the purity crystal and pick a crystaller!" Shining Armor said, stressing out. "Okay, take it easy, Pinkie, Gohan and I can stay here and keep an eye on the baby!" Twilight said. The baby was climbing Pinkie's face and having fun. "And we'll all help you with everythin' else." Applejack said. The others nodded. "Alright... Thanks." Shining Armor said. *** He was not ready in time, that piz- I mean, nothing. "Dearest citizens, I am sure you are all just as thrilled and ready for this crystalling as myself and Shining Armor." Cadence said tiredly but loudly. The ponies cheered. Shining Armor was stressing out. "I'm not ready!" He said. "Take it easy!" Rainbow Dash said, pulling out two helmets. "Just pick whoever looks the most like honor guard material." She said. "Right!... Right." Shining Armor said, using his magic to grab the helmets. He put them on two guards backwards. Yeah, that went well. "I'm sorry guys, fatherhood is way more stressful than I thought." He said. "I can only imagine." Fluttershy said sympathetically. "Now, I know choosing the Crystal of Purity is a very, very important decision. So, I have gone trough the trouble of arranging them in order from incredibly pure to outrageously pure!" Rarity said, pulling out a chest of five crystals. "Um, Rarity? Don't they all kind of look the same?" Fluttershy asked. "Oh, well, to the untrained eye, perhaps. What do you think, Shining Armor?" Rarity asked. Shining Armor was stressing looking at all of them. "I-I DON'T KNOW!" He shouted, cowering behind his hooves. "I hope Gohan, Twilight and Pinkie are having better luck with the baby!" Rarity whispered to Fluttershy. *** Speaking of which, the baby was... I guess fine. She was trying to fly, but Gohan held her so she wouldn't go far. And she was firing magic so he had Goten fire ki at all of the magic. She was having fun, at least. "This is good target training." Gohan said. "I know!" Goten said, blasting another blast. "But this baby is really out of control." Gohan said. "No kidding!" Twilight said, hiding behind a fort of books. "Wait, we need to get her to the crystalling." Gohan said. *** Shining Armor was taking deep breaths as Rarity brushed his mane. They were beside the Crystal Heart. The three princesses came too. "Okay, I chose the honor guard, the purity crystal, and a crystaller. So all we need is... Hm..." Shining Armor said. "The baby?" Cadence asked. Shining Armor was stressed out 100%. "We're here!" Gohan said. He was still holding the baby up as it flew. "She's a pretty strong flier." He said. Cadence took the baby with her magic, separating the two. And the baby did not want that. Uh oh. She looked as if she wanted to cry. She DID cry. Her cry was so loud... That the Crystal Heart shattered into a million pieces! The baby let herself fall into Cadence's hoof, and calmed down. "...I'm guessin' that's gonna make it harder to do the Crystalling..." Applejack said. "It's worse than that, without the Heart, the Crystal Empire is about to be buried under a mountain of ice and snow!" Twilight said, opening a curtain. Storms were coming in. "Again!?" Gohan asked, powering up and creating a forcefield around the Crystal Empire. "Wait, what?" Celestia asked. "This is the second time. Is there some sort of spell to fix the Crystal Heart?" Gohan asked. "Possibly. The library here is just as extensive as Canterlot's. There's a good chance we can find something there." Cadence said. The baby was about to sneeze again. "Good! I can hold this for much longer this time, tha- OW!" Gohan said before a powerful magic blast hit his lower back. Something popped out of his back. Or right above his bum. A tail. "Jeez, I have to raise my power level for this...?" Gohan asked, referring to the barrier and the baby. It was only covering half the city. "How much of your- Oh my gosh!" Twilight said, pointing at Gohan's tail. "How much of my what?" Gohan asked. "...Do y'all realize you have a tail?" Applejack asked. Gohan looked at his tail. "Oh, it's back again." He said, wiggling it. "Wait, so the alicorn baby did not materialize a tail for you?" Celestia asked. "She might've. I mean, it grew back before, I don't see why it can't here." Gohan said. "We're going to talk later, but how much of your power are you using?" Twilight asked. "I'm using about... Let's say less than one percent of my full power in my current form." Gohan said. "Just cover the entire Empire already!" Twilight said. Gohan increased his power tenfold. The barrier covered the entire Crystal Empire. "And you should've went to the library!" He said. "On second thought, I wanna come." He added. "We need someone to watch the baby before she flies off!" Pinkie Pie said. "I'll do it! But someone needs to stop the blasts!" Goten said. "I'll handle that. Her magic isn't as strong as mine." Twilight said. "Okay, let's get to the library! Seriously, I don't want to hold this for over 48 hours again." Gohan said. And then baby decided to want to have fun and teleported herself right in Pinkie's face. She screamed in response and ripped her off her face. Shining Armor tried catching the baby before she hit the ground... But she teleported away. "W-Where did she go!?" Cadence asked. The baby laughed. "Oh, she's that way." Gohan and Goten said, pointing at the specific direction. "Okay, we also need to hold the audience off for some time." Twilight said. Gohan sighed in response. "I'll do it. You get the baby. The changing of jobs is confusing." Goten said. "No kidding." Everyone else said. *** Goten was outside giving the audience a fireworks show with his ki, while everyone else went to the library. Gohan was able to hold the baby with one arm. "Man, I don't know what we would do without you at this point. Probably trying in vain to catch her!" Shining Armor said. Pinkie was hopping high enough to be at face level with the baby. "It's your Auntie Pinkie Pie!" She said. And then the baby decided to blast her horn, putting a hole in the wall. "Well, I guess I'll do this." Gohan said, performing the Multi-Form Technique. He made one other clone. "Wait... Gohan can clone himself?" Shining Armor asked. "I can make copies of myself but my power is halved with every copy." Gohan said. "You just keep surprising us." Cadence said. "Yes, we are lucky to have him." Celestia said. Twilight wasn't moving fast enough to find a book at a reasonable time. "Twilight's a bit slow with the books... Let me do it again." The Gohan not holding the baby said, halving himself again. The cloned Gohan moved all over the library, looking at each cover of each book and putting them back if they were unrelated. Then Starlight and Spike came into the library. They saw the three Gohans and the baby constantly shooting magic blasts. "W-What's going on!? Why is there three Gohans!? And WHY do they have tails!?" Starlight asked. "That's the Multi-Form Technique and this baby gave it back to me. I used to have a tail, you know." The Gohan holding the baby said. "And do you want the long or short version of what's going on?" Pinkie asked. "Short?" Starlight asked. "The baby's an alicorn and accidentally destroyed the Crystal Heart and Twilight and Cadence and Gohan are looking for a spell to save the Crystal Empire from turning into a giant wasteland of snow and storms without Gohan having to put up his super large barrier." Pinkie said. "Wait... So while he's holding a powerful alicorn baby, blasting the baby's blasts, and looking for the right book, he's ALSO put up a barrier to protect the Crystal Empire from the Frozen North?" Starlight asked. "I'm exponentially stronger than all the alicorns in this room, I don't think it should come as a surprise at this point." Gohan said. "A-A very broad claim..." Starlight said. "He defeated Tirek, who absorbed the power of every alicorn before this baby and almost everypony in Equestria and Discord's AND his Super Saiyan power as a Super Saiyan 2. Need I say more?" Pinkie asked. Starlight was left speechless. "Yeah, Gohan's awesome, we know that." Rainbow Dash said. "And this tail gave me a small power boost." Gohan said. "And his brother is... I'm not sure about him." Twilight said. "I know for sure his power as a Super Saiyan is about a tenth of my base form." The Gohan looking through the library said. "Do you need any more?" Spike asked. Starlight shook her head no. "And does this book help?" Gohan asked, pulling out a black book with a unlocked lock and gold stuff on it. Twilight took the book with her magic. ""Trotter's Tome of Reliquary?" I think this is it!" Twilight said, scanning the book. She found a spell. "Spell of Relic Reconstitution! This is great!" She said. "Great! Now all we have to do is-" The Gohan that was SUPPOSED to be blasting the baby's blasts said before the baby destroyed the fucking book. Everyone looked in shock. "...Oops." Gohan said. "Oh no! That spell was the only thing in the library that was even close to what we needed!" Twilight said. "I'm so so sorry!" The Gohan said, bowing to everyone. "Y-You do not need to be so apologetic... You are multitasking beyond our own powers..." Luna said. "Do you remember the spell?" Cadence asked. "I only read it through once!" Twilight retorted. "Well, if anypony can exactly remember something she read for the first time two minutes ago, it's you, Twilight." Rarity said. "I'll try, but I'm not sure how long it'll take." Twilight said. *** Since Twilight couldn't remember jack about the spell, and her attempts failed. The topic of Sunburst came up and now they were going to summon him. Starlight and Spike went to his abode again. ...But he was too busy with 'important wizard' work. "What!? Did you hear what I said!?" Starlight asked. "Oh, I heard you, but-but like I said, when you're an important wizard, the work just piles up." Sunburst said. "Sunburst!" Starlight shouted. Sunburst sighed... "Look, Starlight, I want to help. I do. But I can't. I wish I could." He said. "What do you mean?! Gohan can't keep the barrier up forever!" Starlight said. "Gohan? Son Gohan? As in the alien warrior child who defeated Discord and Tirek alone? He's here!? And he put up a magical barrier around the city!?" Sunburst asked. "It's not magic. It's ki." Spike said. "H-Huh? Anyway... I can't fix an ancient relic! I can't even come close to that!" Sunburst said. "But I thought you were an important wizard!" Starlight said. "Well, you were wrong, okay?!" Sunburst said with tears. "I'm not an important wizard! I'm not even a wizard at all!" He yelled, dashing away into a separate room. He sat in a chair at his table. "I know it's hard for you to understand, but not all of us end up achieving greatness." Sunburst said. "What? Why wouldn't I understand that?" Starlight asked, sitting on the opposite side of the table. "Really? You're the protégé of the Princess of Friendship! I don't think she picks just anypony for that!" Sunburst said. "Technically, she's more of a student than a protégé." Spike said. "Actually she picked two." He added. "Whatever. I'm sorry I'm not the big important wizard you were expecting." Sunburst said. "Sunburst, I don't care if you're a wizard or not. I'm just surprised. You always knew so much about magic. I mean, look at all these books!" Starlight said. "Yeah, well, reading about magic is one thing, but you don't know what it was like at magic school! To know so much and not be able to do any of it!" Sunburst said. "Well, YOU don't know what it was like to be left behind! And then getting so bitter that you steal the cutie marks from an entire village and then get defeated by Twilight and her friends, so you travel through time to get back at them, but they beat you again and teach you about friendship, but you're so terrified ponies will find out what you did that you can't make any friends!" Starlight retorted with tears at the end. "The same kind of thing happened to Gohan before you came, Starlight." Spike said. "R-Really?" Starlight asked. "Yeah, worried we wouldn't accept him for why he actually came to Equestria." Spike said. "Oh." Starlight said. ... "Did you really travel through time?" Sunburst asked. "See? I told you he'd be impressed." Spike said. "I'm sorry we lost touch. Maybe if I had reached out, you could have helped me at magic school, and I could have helped you to-" "Not become totally evil?" Starlight interrupted. The two started to reconnect again, and they smiled. She sighed. "Let's just say I know what it's like to have something you're not exactly proud of." She said. "When you showed up thinking I was some big wizard... I'm sorry. I should have told you the truth." Sunburst said. "It's fine. At least we worked it all out. I think Twilight would be proud of us." Starlight said. "And... I think I know how we can fix the Crystal Heart." Sunburst said. "Okay, now that we've completed the first lesson, let's get back to the palace." Spike said. *** The three made it to the shattered Crystal Heart, where everyone else but Goten were. He was still giving the ponies an epic show. He was getting tired, but it was ok. Sunburst examined the shattered Heart. "The baby did this!?" He asked. "Yeah, she did. Due to her crying." Gohan said. Twilight pulled up her memories on a paper "I tried putting it back together with-" "The spell of Relic Reconstitution. No, that won't do it. The Crystal Heart's been around for millennia. Restoring a relic like this is way beyond one spell. You need to combine it with something else. Something unique to the relic itself. Something that strengthens it and provides it with power...?" Sunburst interrupted Twilight. "...The crystalling!" Twilight said. "Combining that spell with the light and love of everypony gathered for the ceremony, together with... Somnambula's Weather Abjuration to clear away the snow... and a little Fledgling's Forbearance for the parents... Heh. That should curb the little one's power fluctuations." Sunburst said, pulling out the spells for the two. "You must be Sunburst. Starlight said you were a powerful wizard." Cadence said. "Oh, I'm no wizard." Sunburst said. Everyone but Gohan, Celestia, Spike and Starlight gasped. Starlight came to his defense. "But he studied magic his whole life! You should see his house! And since nopony has any better ideas, what do we have to lose?!" She asked. After like, two seconds of thinking, Shining Armor had an answer. He used his magic to levitate the baby towards Sunburst. " I had planned on asking Twilight to be our crystaller, but since it seems like she'll be busy..." He said. "I'd be honored!" Sunburst said, holding the baby in his hooves. "Then what are we waiting for?" Twilight asked. *** The ceremony was happening now. An exhausted Goten was given a senzu bean by his trustworthy brother. The alicorns except Cadence and the baby put the Crystal Heart together, but they could only hold it for so long. So, the crystalling had to be quick. Everyone else was on the heart shaped stage. Cadence and Shining Armor touched horns, and the baby started floating with a yellow light. She was giggling while the magic made it's noise. Sunburst chose a gem from Rarity's collection. "Citizens! May I present the newest member of the Crystal Empire!" He proclaimed. The light shone brighter than before. Finally, the crystalling had happened. The ponies cheered. The Saiyans cheered. The gem was filled with magic, so Sunburst took it to the temporary Crystal Heart. And with that, the Crystal Heart was restored! Everyone was crystallized again. The storms closing in around Gohan's barrier were destroyed. And Gohan put down the barrier. "Wow! What is this!?" Goten asked. "Oh, we're crystallized. Don't turn Super Saiyan, or else you'll blind everypony." Gohan said. And with that, the baby was crystalled. The parents hugged their baby. *** The ponies and Saiyans gathered around the Crystal Heart again. "For a pony who isn't great at magic, you did pretty well." Starlight said. "Indeed. I'm glad to see you've found a way to share your unique gift, Sunburst. You may be more of a wizard than you think." Celestia said. "Yeah, you were good." Gohan said. *** Everyone but the Royal Sisters were at the train station, waiting for Twilight's parents to show up. And they did. "You would not believe the crazy weather that delayed our train. Came out of nowhere." Night Light, Twilight and Shining Armor's father said. "But it was all worth it to see this peaceful little angel! Awww, so sweet! Come to your grandmare!" Twilight Velvet said, and the baby reached for her with giggles. "Yeah, she's peaceful now. And it was totally worth it. Could've just teleported. But somepony decided that anticipation was better." Gohan said. "That reminds me... You're a good friend of Twilight's, correct?" Night Light asked. "Yep. And I'm the godfather of this adorable little powerful baby." Gohan said. "R-Really!? Then we have no doubts she will be safe forever!" Twilight Velvet said. "Definitely while he's around." Twilight said. The baby was about to sneeze, and everyone took cover! Well, not the Saiyans, but they were ready for a blast. She sneezed... Like a regular baby. "We have Sunburst to thank for that." Shining Armor said. "I hope he takes his role as crystaller seriously. Something tells me the baby will need a pony like him to look to for magical advice. Or Gohan if she wants to be some sort of martial artist." Cadence said. "Cadance, darling, aren't we gonna name the poor little dear, or are we gonna spend our entire visit just calling her "the baby"?" Twilight Velvet asked. "We were thinking... Flurry Heart." Cadence said. "Y'know, to remember the occasion." Shining Armor said. "Oh goodness, how could anyone forget?" Rarity asked. "It's still an amazing name." Gohan said. "Yes. I think it's lovely." Twilight said, kissing Flurry on the cheek. Flurry reached and giggled. And that concludes that. Author's Note Holy shit, this came later than I said it would. Sorry, but education's demands are absolute bullshit. (Especially when you're an honors student) Sorry it was so late, I probably should've not promised it two days ago, but I have some of the next two done. I can't guarantee when the next chapter is out but the one after that is probably soon after it. Have a good day. Gohan's New Form! The Mighty Oozaru!Ah, what a peaceful sunset in Equestria. Let's check in on Earth, Still there. Let's check on that guy. Not pink anymore. Why? He's not mutated. And? He's not uncontrollably using ki anymore so it's good for him. He mastered his massive power. And he's leaving without destroying Earth. "Time to find the sons of that fool. This is perfection, I should have planned this before!" He said. And now he's murdering a fuckton of aliens. Did I say fuckton? I meant 10 metric fucktons cubed aliens. Over the course of years. So peaceful. And now... The Mane 6, the Saiyans, Starlight, the Royal Sisters and Spike are going to stargaze! Unknowingly to all of them... There was going to be a full moon tonight. They were all atop the mountain harboring Canterlot. "Man, this will be perfect for my studies!" Twilight said. "There are a ton of them out there. Like Namek. And Yardrat. And the now destroyed Vegeta. And the destroyed Arli-" "I get the point." Twilight interrupted. "And the full moon will make the experience amazing!" Rarity said as Luna lifted the moon and Celestia lowered the sun. "Yeah! The- Wait, did you say full moon?" Gohan asked. "Um, yes, I did." Rarity said. Gohan was afraid. He couldn't stop staring at the moon. "You guys need to leave, NOW!" He shouted. "Why?" Everyone asked. No response. Gohan's eyes turned red as he stared at the moon. "Gohan?" Goten asked. Now everyone could see Gohan's heartbeat. "What's happening to you?" Celestia asked. No response. "OOH! I know! He's gonna turn into this BIIIIIIG monkey!" Pinkie said. "Frankly, I don't think that's happening." Applejack said. "Uh... I really think she's right!" Goten said, pointing at Gohan. His eyes were entirely red, and he really started to bulk up. "W-We must flee!" Luna said. "On it!" Twilight said, teleporting everyone to the palace. Gohan began to develop serious body hair and his jaw enlarged. *** "W-What's going on!?" Starlight asked. "Um... I-I really think we should look out the window right now!" Fluttershy said. Gohan... Was the mighty oozaru! He was hanging on to the mountain. "W-What!?" Everyone asked. Gohan roared loudly. It could be heard beyond Griffonstone. "Gohan!?" Everyone asked. Gohan fired a blast from his mouth at the palace. Everyone cowered in fear, and took cover. Not Goten. He jumped and broke through the window, turning Super Saiyan. He cupped his hands together and smashed them to the side at the blast. He was really struggling to even hold it at bay. But, a little more power gave Goten enough strength to smack it into space. "Gohan! What are you doing!?" Goten shouted. Gohan roared in response and jumped at Goten. Goten, ready to move the fight somewhere else, flew at Gohan's chest. He used his ki to create a blue aura and sparkles to increase damage dealt. He smashed himself into Gohan, managing to knock him back. He flew himself and Gohan far from Canterlot, and all the way to the Foal Mountains. Well, it was right next to Canterlot but still. Gohan smacked him away, and jumped towards the nearby city, the Hollow Shades. Much to the ponies' horror, Gohan began using their homes as ammunition against the incoming Goten. 'I have to get him out of here!' Goten thought as he dodged. Goten waited for the right moment to strike. He waited until Gohan would blast him, and then he smashed himself back into Gohan until they reached the Foal Mountains again. *** "W-What's happened to him!?" Rarity asked. "This must be why he told us to leave..." Starlight said. "Why did he turn into that!?" Twilight asked. "Don't you remember? Gohan told us that when Saiyans have tails and they look at the full moon, they turn into giant monkeys!" Pinkie said. "R-Really!?" Everyone asked. "We should've told him it was a full moon, what fools we are!" Luna said. "W-We can't rely on Goten! We have to help!" Rainbow Dash said. "But how!?" Twilight asked. "With friendship. We might be able to calm him down." Applejack said. "It's certainly a plan... But... Do not get yourselves killed." Starlight said. "Alright, girls, let's go!" Twilight said. The Mane 6 gathered near Twilight. ...Except Fluttershy. "Fluttershy! What are you waiting for!?" Twilight asked. "W-We have to go near... That big, giant, scary, murderous monkey!?" Fluttershy asked, actually shaking in fear. "Fluttershy, we will accompany you. We shall protect you to the best of our abilities." Celestia said. Luna nodded. "Good luck guys." Spike said. *** Goten was struggling greatly. Damaging Gohan was near impossible at this point. Smashing his body into Gohan isn't working well anymore. Kamehamehas would do some damage... But it would never be enough. Goten was top a mountain, and Gohan was in the distance, smashing his chest and roaring. "Take this! Kamehame...." Goten yelled, ready to fire the Kamehameha. Gohan roared in response and began charging his own mouth beam. Then the Mane 6 appeared by Goten. "What are you doing here!?" Goten asked. "Helping you." Twilight said. "Ready girls!?" She asked. "Yeah!" Everyone said. The Mane 6 accessed the Rainbow Power. Goten smiled. "TOGETHER! HA!" He yelled, firing the Kamehameha. The magic of Friendship was fired at Gohan as well. Gohan fired back with a mouth blast. The blast struggle was pretty even... Until Gohan put just a little more power into his blast. The blast was nearing the seven. "It's not working!" Twilight yelled. "Try harder!" Rainbow Dash screamed. The extra Friendship was able to move it back slightly. Goten was giving it his all... And he gave even more! The blast overpowered Gohan's quickly. Gohan, being stupid as a giant ape, didn't put more power into his blast and ended up trying to hold the combined ultimates. "Just... A bit... More!" Goten screamed. The princesses, even though their power levels were weaker, aided them and adding their blasts. The blast was close to engulfing Gohan. Gohan, in a fit of rage... ... The blast exploded in Gohan's face. The ponies and Saiyan huffed and panted. "Did... Did... We do it?" Rainbow Dash asked. "I... I think..." Goten said. But sadly, they were wrong. Oh, so wrong. A loud roar could be heard within the smoke! And a golden aura cleared the smoke. They all looked in shock. Gohan was unscathed, and... His body hair was yellow! He had turned into the Golden Oozaru! "Run! You have to leave, NOW!" Goten shouted. "What!? We can't just-" "DID YOU HEAR ME!?" Goten interrupted Twilight. "Twilight, we cannot aid Goten this time." Celestia said. "B-But..." Twilight said. "You don't understand. His power's increased so much. You'll all die! I care about you, and I can't let you down!" Goten yelled. Twilight reluctantly teleported everyone else back to the palace. "Now it's you and me, you big monster!" Goten screamed, using his final resolve of strength to fly full force at him. His aura was incredibly blue, and sparkles appeared. Goten smashed himself into Gohan, causing an explosion! ...But Gohan remained unfazed. Gohan smashed his fist into Goten, and straight into the ground. Goten struggled to even keep his footing. And then Gohan decided to step on him! Goten was really struggling to keep the foot up. He could feel his muscles tearing, especially in his arms then his legs. He actually started to cry in pain. "G-Gohan! Please stop!" He cried. His arms began to bleed. "GOHAN!" Goten cried in a desperate attempt to get to Gohan. But Gohan wasn't himself. And he mercilessly stepped on Goten. Goten stopped his crying and only frowned. "I... I forgive you, big brother." He muttered before he closed his eyes let the foot crush him. Gohan roared. *** The ponies and dragon looked in shock from the palace. "That's it! I don't even know why I bothered to leave him to fight Gohan! I'm going back!" Twilight yelled. "Me too!" Rainbow Dash said. "Same here, I ain't about to let Gohan smash anymore things!" Applejack said. "So do I." Rarity said. "Same here!" Pinkie said. "Me too." Fluttershy said. "You cannot, I forbid you!" Celestia said. "Princess Celestia, this is the one time I am going to willingly go against your wishes. I'm sorry." Twilight said. "B-But you'll die!" Starlight said. Twilight teleported her and her friends. *** Gohan was flying at Ponyville. Or, jumping, really. His jump made it look like flight. Gohan was on the edge of Ponyville, and he was ready to smash everything in sight. The ponies looked in shock and fear. He smashed a house and grabbed another, hurling it into space before roaring again. The buildings he just fucked up had no ponies, luckily. And the Mane 6 all appeared. And they were all scared... But Fluttershy? You know what she did? She had the face of determination, and flew up to Gohan! "Fluttershy!" Twilight yelled. She didn't listen. Gohan threw his giant monkey fist at Fluttershy, and actually missed. "How dare you. HOW DARE YOU!" Fluttershy screamed at a volume never heard before. Gohan was about to grab her. "Do you think you can just go around and destroy building all you want because you can!? DO YOU!?" Fluttershy yelled. Gohan stopped. She stood on his gigantic nose. Gohan grunted questionably in response. "I will never forgive you for this, you big meanie! YOU WILL NEVER GET AWAY WITH THIS!" Fluttershy screamed, WAY TOO uncharacteristic of her. Gohan really stopped now. He actually calmed down. And... He was incredibly guilty. He realized what he had done. He realized how he had been acting. He could remember and imagine himself... Seeing Goten... And watching him get crushed. A tear came to his imagined self. He stared at the moon behind Fluttershy, and gently moved her away with his giant finger. He giant tear came to his oozaru eye. She was scared again, and flew back to the rest of the Mane 6 in fear. "Wow... You really got to him." Twilight said. Gohan developed a yellow aura... He reached out to the moon with both hands and lightning started to spark around him. He roared loudly. He slowly but surely began to shrink. Most of his body hair turned red, and once he was 1.5x an adult's height, he randomly developed his pants, wristbands, belt and boots again. At this point, his voice was starting to return to normal. His hair began to turn black, and his chest lost some of his body hair. "W-What's happening to Gohan!?" Rainbow Dash asked. "He... He's shrunk!" Twilight said. "But is he normal!?" Applejack asked. "We can only hope." Twilight said. Gohan was at his normal size again. But he was still... Transforming. He bent down, still roaring. He still had a golden aura. But he stretched backwards and roared as loudly as he could. The lightning sparks increased hundredfold, and the moon suddenly turned red. The terrain within a 50 foot radius was completely destroyed. Everyone watched couldn't see with the winds Gohan was emanating. So... One or two houses were fucked. ...Shit. Smoke covered the area, and the roaring ceased. As it died down, something new could be seen. A brand new Gohan. A Super Saiyan 4! His irises were yellow on the outside, and black on the inside. His hair... Relatively the same. The outsides of his eyes were red. Only his chest, his head, his hands and a small part of his stomach were not covered in red fur. He stared at the sky blankly. "Hey! What's going on!?" Rainbow Dash yelled. "He looks quite... Different." Rarity said. Twilight, being the boldest one, slowly inched closer to Gohan. "Don't die!" Rainbow Dash said. "I won't." Twilight said before gulping. She inched closer and closer. Eventually she was only ten feet away from him. "Gohan? I need to know, are you still on our side?" She asked, fear evident in her voice. Gohan snapped out of his trance, and scanned his surroundings. He slowly held his hand up. "T...Twilight?" He asked. "A-Are you still on our side?" Twilight asked. Gohan nodded in response, but felt great shame. "He's him again!" Twilight said. The Mane 6 all cheered again. Gohan scanned his body. He felt great power from himself... But the guilt was far greater than any power he possessed. 'How could I have done that to Goten?' He thought as he looked at the palms of his hands. 'Not even Fluttershy forgives me... I'm a monster.' He thought. "Did I do all of this?" He asked Twilight. "Uh... Yeah! You went crazy and started smashing everything! Including us and Goten!" Twilight snapped. Gohan was trying to fight back tears. "Where is he?" He asked. "I believe he is still at the Foal Mountains. But... What are you now?" Rarity asked. "Is it some sort of Super Saiyan form?" Rainbow Dash asked. Gohan didn't answer. He flew away in a flash. "What is he?" Fluttershy asked. "Oh, he's a Super Saiyan 4!" Pinkie Pie said. "Super Saiyan... 4? What happened to 3? How is that a Super Saiyan form?" Rainbow Dash asked. "3 makes his hair longer and makes him scream and also removes his eyebrows, silly! And this is a non-canon fan fiction, so GT is perfectly fine here!" Pinkie said. "Canon... Fan what? Where are you getting GT and screaming from!?" Twilight asked. "What do you mean? You need to keep up with the times on the internet." Pinkie said. "But nopony here knows what you're saying!" Applejack said. "Eh." Pinkie said, shrugging. The denizens of Ponyville began to walk towards the damages. "Who did this!?" A mare asked. "Gohan did it!" Pinkie said. "Pinkie!" The rest of the Mane 6 yelled. "Oops." Pinkie said. "You mean Gohan did this!? I should've known, he was gonna turn on us later!" A stallion yelled. "Don't say that!" Fluttershy said. "What do you mean? He lured us into a false sense of security and decided to turn on us last second!" A mare yelled. "Okay, ma'am, FIRST OF ALL," Pinkie yelled before she continued. *** Celestia, Luna, Starlight and Spike were tending to the broken Goten. He was still alive, luckily. But was just barely hanging on. Starlight and Spike slowly bandaged Goten as the princesses slowly healed him. It would take hours for this to complete. "Did Gohan really do this...?" Starlight asked. *** Gohan went to the mountain harboring Canterlot. He searched the place for the senzu beans he had. And he found the pouch. 'Goten... Please hang on!' He thought as he flew at the Foal Mountains. *** Goten was probably gonna die. The blood loss at this point was pretty much greater than the amount of healing. Luckily, a hairy man- I mean, Gohan came from the mountain harboring Canterlot. He landed nearby, and shocked the ponies and dragon. Luna stepped up to plate, spreading her wings and getting into a battle stance. "Stray away!" She yelled. "Princess Luna, I'm normal!" Gohan said. "Wait... Gohan?" Spike asked. "Where's Goten?" Gohan asked. "He's right here." Starlight said, pointing a hoof at Goten. Luna turned normal again. "I apologize for my rudeness... What happened?" She asked. "I transformed. I should've removed my tail the first chance I had." Gohan said, walking towards Goten. "Why have you received this... This form?" Celestia asked, stopping her magic. "I don't know." Gohan said, slowly opening Goten's mouth and dropping a senzu bean in. There was silence until Goten swallowed. All his wounds had healed. And he opened his eyes. "Gohan...? Is that you?" He asked weakly. "Yes... It's me." Gohan said, averting his gaze to the ground beside Goten in shame. Goten instantly sprang up and hugged Gohan. "I'm so happy you're back!" He exclaimed. Gohan was very, very surprised. "W-What...?" He asked. 'Isn't he supposed to be mad as hell that I tried to kill him?' He thought. "You're not a giant ape anymore!" Goten said. Then he realized Gohan was a Super Saiyan 4. "What's with the serious power?" He asked, breaking the hug. "I'm not really sure myself... Listen, Goten, I am so sorry I did this. Can you ever-" "Yep!" Goten interrupted. Even the bystanders were a little surprised. "What...?" Gohan asked. "I said yes to forgiveness! I said it before you crushed me with your foot, too." Goten said. "Y-You... Thank you." Gohan said. "Excuse us," Celestia said, gaining the attention of Gohan. "we forgive you as well." She said. "R-Really...?" Gohan asked. "Uh, duh!" Spike said. "I tried to rule a village then Equestria, yet you forgave me. Of course we would." Starlight said. Gohan was happy... But still felt guilty. Well, mostly because of what he did and also what Fluttershy said. *** "And that is why we shouldn't turn on Gohan!" Pinkie said. "What? You just gave us a recipe for chocolate ice cream cake!" A stallion yelled. "What she MEANT to say was that Gohan has defended Equestria from many threats that not even we nor the princesses could handle. He continues to do that. Are we going to just turn on him just for a single mistake? I mean, aliens came trying to destroy the entire world, and he defeated them, saving us all!" Twilight said. "But he's turned on US now!" A mare yelled. "Is he still going berserk?" Applejack asked. "He's not a giant ape anymore!" Rainbow Dash said. "Well... Uh..." Some ponies said. "See? Gohan would never turn on us, and neither should you!" Fluttershy said. And the argument went on... Not really, it ended in Gohan's favor. *** Eventually, the hate on Gohan was gone. But his guilt wouldn't cease, no matter how many ponies and person forgave him. Next time, on this really weird and stupid fan fiction... Shit, can't give a preview. Author's Note Yeah, I really wanted SSJ4. So Gohan's current base is: 60,000,000,000. SSJ4 - I don't fucking know. Maybe it's 1,500,000,000,000,000. (Basex10x50x50) Or it's 240,000,000,000,000,000. (Hypothetical SSJ3 x 10,000) It's not a 10x multiplier, that's for sure. I dunno, what do you think? Also, I'm now 50-50 on Sunset x Gohan, and I want to know if you guys want to see it happen. Comment. Now. The Surprise Visit and Surprise Enemy (Fusion Reborn Pt. 1)Gohan sat on the grass as he watched Goten train. Recently, he didn't have the energy to train so hard. Mainly due to his newfound transformation, which Pinkie keeps insisting is a Super Saiyan 4, but nobody's thinking it's a Super Saiyan form at all. Goten didn't think much about the incident. In fact, he acts as if it never happened. But enough about numbers, something crazy is happening! "Hello." A familiar voice said. Gohan was shocked. He turned his head to the side to see no other than Cell. "Cell!" He yelled, standing up. "That's Cell?" Goten asked, pointing at Cell. "Yeah. What are you doing out of hell?" Gohan asked. "Oh nothing, it's just that we were all able to escape." Cell said with a grin. "'All?' You mean everyone else in hell is roaming free!?" Gohan asked. "Not just hell, even purgatory and heaven. Now, time for me to repay you for that incident at the Cell Games..." Cell said, powering up. "I've been training in hell. You won't win this time..." He said. His power level was about a 150,000,000,000. Gohan instantly let out a war cry as he turned Super Saiyan. He let out another war cry as he charged at Cell. Cell was much weaker at this point, so he couldn't react in time. Gohan punched Cell in the stomach, actually penetrating through, and uppercutted him in half in half. Cell just turned into smoke. 'What?' Gohan thought. "Wow! You beat him in one punch!" Goten said. "Goten, I have a feeling we're going to fight some more, so get ready." Gohan said. *** Gohan and Goten were in Ponyville. Gohan had his sword for the first time in a while. And as he suspected, the dead were walking amongst the living. Zombies were there, fucking people who aren't ponies were there and ponies were there and Gohan and Goten sent them all back to Other World. I'm not going into detail because... Well, sadness. After the massacre, there were no more dead. "Why is this happening?" Goten asked. "I don't know." Gohan said, sheathing his sword. Then the Mane 6 and Starlight were walking up to Gohan. "Gohan, somepony important is waiting for you at Canterlot." Twilight said. "Does it have something to do with heaven, purgatory and hell's denizens wandering around?" Gohan asked. "Yes." Everyone said. "This is the first time I'm seeing you so calm about something so random." Gohan said. *** Gohan and everyone else appeared in the throne room. The two princesses were obviously there, but two others were there too. One had red skin with long, white hair and a weird getup with a sash. The other had light purple skin with a mohawk and white hair, and was considerably smaller. He sported the same but different colored getup. The smaller one was the stronger of the two, and Gohan could feel some power. "Hello, Son Gohan." The smaller one said. "Uh... Hello. Who are you?" Gohan asked. "I am the Supreme Kai. This is my attendant, Kibito." Supreme Kai said. "S-Supreme Kai? What about King Kai?" Gohan asked. "I am at a higher level than the Kais of the North, South, East and West galaxies. And King Kai has been slain from existence." Supreme Kai said. "King Kai doesn't exist anymore?" Gohan asked. "Okay, what the heck are you two going on about?" Rainbow Dash said. Luna hushed Rainbow Dash. "Gohan is speaking with some of the most important people in the entire universe!" She said. "I am afraid so. Anyway, we have a problem, and as you know, the dead are walking amongst the living." Supreme Kai said. "Yeah, and do you know why?" Gohan asked. "Yes. In heaven, someone hadn't done their job changing a tank full of evil. The Spirit cleanser had overflown with evil juices, and the tank had not been changed. It contained thousands of years of evil. The result was an explosion that created a monster out of the worker." Supreme Kai said. Kibito spawned a crystal ball. The ball showed what was happening. The realms of heaven and hell were captured and but into small orbs. And a childish monster was toying around. "The monster is known as Janemba. Luckily, the world of the Kais was not affected. This is why we're here. The realm of heaven is unprotected, and the gates of hell are wide open. If Janemba isn't stopped, then we are all doomed. Our power alone is to small to stop Janemba. We need you, Son Gohan." Supreme Kai said. "Well, I'd be happy to take Janemba on." Gohan said, punching his palm. "But why don't you call my father if he could just go anywhere he wants?" He asked. Supreme Kai and Kibito started sweating and hesitated before answering. "Well, you see, uh... It appears that Son Goku is... Er..." Kibito said. "Son Goku is what, busy?" Gohan asked. "Uh... Yes!" Supreme Kai said. "Okay. So how do I get to where Janemba is?" Gohan asked. "I will take you there." Kibito said. "I'm coming too!" Goten said. "No. You have to stay here and protect Equestria from hell." Gohan said. Rainbow Dash snickered. "I meant it literally, Rainbow. I can sense someone familiar in Ponyville you may want to defeat as soon as possible, Goten." He said. *** Kibito teleported Gohan to the wasteland of balls and shit. It's the same place as in the movie, okay? It's hard to describe. Kibito instantly teleported away, leaving Gohan on his own. Gohan could sense an immense power in the distance. Well, it was high up. Gohan flew up, and he could see the check in station imprisioned by a weird shaped orb. "Did a building get stuck here?" He asked himself. "Goku! Goku, is that you!?" A voice called. "Huh? No, I'm his son, Gohan." Gohan said. "Gohan? His son? I'm glad you're here, I'm King Yemma, and you need to get us out of here!" Yemma exclaimed. "R-Right!" Gohan said, still not knowing who King Yemma is exactly. He fired a powerful blast at the imprisoned check in station. No effect. "Uh oh." Gohan said. "Gohan, on the roof! There's a monster on the roof!" Yemma yelled. "What? I don't see a monster on the-" Gohan said before he SAW the monster on the roof. "N-Nevermind, goodness!" He said. The monster was Janemba. He was giant, yellow, and FAT. I mean more than the fattest feminists you see on the news. He smiled at Gohan. "Er... He doesn't seem all that bad to me." Gohan said. "Well, we'll soon find out." A voice said. Someone appeared beside Gohan. "Uh, hello. Who are you?" Gohan asked. "Wait, Goku, is that you?" He asked. "No, I'm his son." Gohan said. "Sorry, I thought Goku was back. I'm Pikkon." Pikkon said. "Hello Pikkon. I'm Gohan." Gohan said. "Janemba!" Janemba said childishly. Pikkon flew up to Janemba's face. "Are you the one who put a barrier around this world!?" He asked, pointing a finger at Janemba. "Janemba, Janemba!" Janemba said. "Uh... Okay. Now, be a good boy and take down the barrier, Janemba." Pikkon said. Janemba sat there, staring at Pikkon. Gohan flew up beside Pikkon. "I think he wasn't listening." He said. "Are you stupid or what!? You heard me, take that barrier down this instant or else!" Pikkon yelled. "Janemba!" Janemba said, raising his giant fist slowly. "ARE YOU TRYING TO MAKE A FOOL OUT OF ME YO-" Pikkon said before Janemba effortlessly smacked him away with a flick. Pikkon smashed into a red orb, halting the speed. He was trying to recover from that serious blow. "Man, he didn't even try. Who are you?" Gohan asked. "Careful, Gohan! He's stronger than he looks!" Pikkon said. "And I'm stronger than I look." Gohan said. "Janemba! Woo!" Janemba said, radiating a white light and winds. "Incredible, he's stronger than I thought. I haven't felt a power like this before... Maybe I should handle this alone, Pikkon." Gohan said, powering up. "I know you, you're just like your dad, being selfish like that, you just want to have all the fun!" Pikkon said. "I'm only saying this for the better. If you want, you can have a shot at him before me." Gohan said. "That's what I'll do." Pikkon said, rushing at Janemba. "Janemba!" Janemba said. He threw a fist to no effect whatsoever. Pikkon slowly backed away. "See? I know you're wearing weights, but even that won't be enough, Pikkon." Gohan said. "And what, you'll turn into a Super Saiyan and beat him all of a sudden!?" Pikkon asked. "I don't know." Gohan said. "Janemba, Janemba!" Janemba said, pointing at Gohan. 'So he wants to fight me, huh?' Gohan thought. Since Janemba was literally a giant fucking baby, Gohan did what he did best with babies. "Oh, you want to fight me, don't you!" Gohan said in a cooing voice. "Janemba, Janemba!" Janemba said, wallowing around. "I think he means yes." Pikkon said. "HURRY UP AND SAVE US ALREADY!" King Yemma yelled, startling the two. "Jeez, sorry. Pikkon, I'm going to lure him down there, you help King Yemma." Gohan said, flying up to Janemba. "Good luck." Pikkon said. Gohan, using his knowledge of Flurry Heart, started using tactics. He clapped his hands front of Janemba, which usually got Flurry to crawl or fly towards him. "Come on!" He said as he flew down to hell. Janemba was wallowing in surprise. "Come on, Janemba! Follow the leader, buddy! This way, woohoo! Fun city this way!" Gohan said as he fell down. Janemba laughed and wallowed like a child before jumping down after Gohan. "There you go!" Gohan said. As they finally reached the grounds of hell, Janemba was covered in orbs of many colors. "Man, I wonder how many dimensions of creation this guy's affected." Gohan said to himself. Janemba landed on his back, struggling to get back up. He was making the same noises a baby would make. 'He seems so harmless.' Gohan thought. Janemba finally got himself up. "Janemba!" He said. He placed his hand on a few rocks, and light emitted. Gohan watched intently. The rocks turned into many little Janembas! "Woo Janemba!" They kept repeating in a much higher voice. Janemba stared spawning more and more! Gohan smiled. "They're actually kind of cute, Janemba!" He said. The small Janembas were still bigger than Gohan, though. They all piled on top of Gohan. "Janemba, Janemba, Janemba!" Janemba said, clapping his hands. "HA!" Gohan yelled as he started punching and kicking all away in rapid succession. Janemba stopped clapping. Every one of the small Janemba's fell to the ground and disappeared. "Janemba?" Janemba asked. *** Goten, Rainbow Dash and Celestia were defending Ponyville from the denizens of hell. Luna, Twilight and Cadence protected other various cities with a smaller count of villains. Goten was face to face with Frieza. "Goku? Did you get smaller in my time in hell?" He asked. "Goku? I'm Goten, silly!" Goten said. "Then you must be that monkey's son! I'll get my revenge this way, HA!" Frieza yelled as he charged at Goten. "Whoa man!" Goten yelled as he turned Super Saiyan and began clashing with Frieza. "Even you can turn into a Super Saiyan!?" Frieza asked. "BELIEVE IT!" Goten yelled as he uppercutted Frieza, making him turn to smoke. The Ginyu Force started ganging up around Goten. "You're gonna go to hell for that!" Recoome said. "Imma send you BACK to that place!" Goten said. And so, Goten effortlessly defeated the Ginyu Force. Celestia was handling Androids 19 and 20, which proved to be quite a match for her. Celestia couldn't attack with magic randomly, or else they would absorb it. So, she used her hoof to hoof combat skills. She kept trading blows with them, and eventually she grew tired of the boring fight. She stabbed her horn through 19 and exploded him with magic. Android 20, or Dr. Gero looked in shock. Celestia put Gero in magic and started to crush him. Well, we know how that ends. Rainbow Dash was having fun defeating the dead Red Ribbon Army. "Hi-yah!" She yelled as she delivered a flying kick at a soldier. "This is too easy!" She said as she backhoofed Mercenary Tao, or Taopaipai from behind. Let's check in on Twilight. She's in Appleloosa. "I'm gonna make you suffer!" Nappa yelled. Twilight fired magic at him, again, turning him to smoke. Saibamen, Raditz, and even Frieza soldiers started appearing around her. "Oh man, what am I going to do!?" She asked. Cadence landed beside her. "Looks like you need some help." She said. "Yeah, I do." Twilight said. "Let's go!" Cadence yelled. They started tearing them apart particle of smoke by particle of smoke. Luna was dealing with King Cold himself in Canterlot, and he proved to be quite a match for her. The battle rages on between living and dead. Let's check in on Gohan now. *** "Janemba, Janemba!" Janemba said as he started marching at Gohan. He stopped and made all the orbs fall on top of Gohan. Gohan narrowly avoided them, but managed to escape the wrath. Janemba laughed as he clenched his hand and all the orbs piled on to Gohan, trapping him. "Ah!" He yelled. Janemba started dashing towards the pile. Gohan was trying to find his way out, and as he found the exit, he saw a Janemba ramming into him. He teleported out in time, and he started flying at Janemba. Janemba just backflipped and kicked Gohan away. 'Man, he packs a punch!' Gohan thought. He flew at Janemba again, only to be slapped away. Gohan recovered, and he stood there, planning. Janemba made his fist warp reality and appear next to Gohan, getting a nice hit on him. Janemba started doing combos on Gohan with his warping fists, punching him back and forth. You know, hyper combos, ultra combos, 25 hit combos, Ryu combos Cat in the Hat combos Horton hears a who combos and everything in the book. Eventually Janemba tried smashing him into the ground, and Gohan managed to regain his footing there. He struggled to keep the fist at bay, so he decided to go full power, blasting the fist away. Janemba recovered quickly, and performed another warping punch. Gohan saw this one coming, so he fired another blast at the fist, or portal, even, blasting Janemba square in the face. Janemba actually fell over. "Kamehameha!" Gohan yelled as he fired the Kamehameha wave at Janemba. Janemba smiled and formed a clone of Gohan in his palm, and it fired the exact same blast back at Gohan. "W-What the!?" Gohan asked. The blast evened out, exploding the two. As the smoke died down, you could see Gohan's gi torn a little, and barely any scratch on Janemba. "Did Discord show up or something?" Gohan asked. Janemba stared laughing like a child again. "I better stop this quickly." Gohan said to himself. He quickly turned Super Saiyan. Janemba stood up, and made his... Well, udders or stomach nipples, I don't give a shit, they fired powerful blasts at Gohan. Gohan unsheathed his sword and charged it with ki. "You're going down, Janemba!" He yelled as he cut through the blasts. He flew towards Janemba. Janemba actually fell on his head and started spinning uncontrollably. He ending up making a nuclear blast appear, and Gohan was caught in it. Let's check in on Pikkon. Still didn't shatter the fucking barrier, and is yelling at it. Back to Gohan. The blast barely did anything on him. As the explosion died down, Janemba couldn't see Gohan. Gohan used this opportunity to start cutting Janemba. "Janemba!" Janemba yelled. "You act innocent, but you're deadly! It's over Janemba, TAKE THIS!" Gohan yelled. He quickly put his sword back and started pummeling Janemba towards the sky. Janemba was actually feeling enormous pain, and started coughing. He accidentally made every single orb fall to the ground. Even the check in station. Gohan punched Janemba through the downpour of orbs and appeared above him. He cupped his hands together and performed a double axe handle on Janemba, sending him down like a meteor. Janemba landed, making the orbs fly again. Gohan put two Kamehamehas in his hands and flew down to Janemba. Janemba sat up in pain, and looked up at Gohan. Gohan flew right into his head, firing the Kamehamehas. Janemba started crying in pain. Pikkon looked from above as he saw the flash of light. "And he didn't even go Super Saiyan 2... How can his own son be much stronger than him?" Pikkon said to himself. Gohan landed 50 feet away from the crying Janemba. Janemba reached out in pain before he was limp. He wasn't moving anymore. "Phew, that was weird." Gohan said. But a red orb glistened. And Janemba started moving again. He actually started to shrink... And his power was growing immensely! Gohan looked in shock. Janemba eventually turned red, and he was a regular person's height. Well, more than average. He sported a new look now, he has red skin covered by violet armor. He even has a tail now. He sounds and looks more like a demon. He was now Super Janemba! "This can't be good." Gohan said. Janemba started to fly at Gohan, making the ground crack beneath him. He threw a kick, which Gohan dodged. Gohan kicked him, but Janemba felt nothing. "What!?" Gohan asked as he was sent flying away by a tail. Gohan landed on the ground again. 'Super Saiyan 2 it is.' He thought. He instantly turned Super Saiyan 2, gaining Janemba's attention. "You should be proud of yourself. Only a few have actually gotten me to go this far." Gohan said. He flew at Janemba Janemba used his tail to attack, but Gohan narrowly dodged it. He smashed the ground, making it crack. Gohan dropkicked Janemba in the face. Janemba, enraged, grabbed Gohan's foot. He swung him around, but Gohan was able to kick him in the side of his head again, getting free. Gohan threw a ki blast at Janemba, but he made it go through a portal, avoiding the attack. Gohan looked around, trying to find his blast, but it struck him from behind. He was sent flying a bit, but regained his composure. Janemba flew at him. Gohan used the ground to jumped back at Janemba, kneeing him square in the face, and also kicking him again in the face. He threw a ki blast right at Janemba's face, but Janemba warped out of reality for a sec, making it miss. He appeared behind Gohan, getting him in a chokehold and blasting him square in the stomach. Gohan grunted in pain as he was sent flying. Janemba shot a green blast from his mouth straight at Gohan. Gohan was sent flying again, and now half his orange shirt was gone. His pants were a little torn too. He landed safely, but was panting. Never had his Super Saiyan 2 form failed him this badly. A weird spiked bottle emerged in between the two. Janemba warped in front of the bottle, picked it up, and turned it into a red sword! He grinned and laughed before he charged at Gohan with it. Gohan unsheathed his sword and charged it with ki quickly, blocking Janemba's fierce blow with it. Bad idea, since the sword was snapped into two. It was that powerful. 'That was Commander Hurricane's sword! It was a good one too, dang it!' He thought. Janemba swung vertically again, and Gohan dodged this time. He dropped the broken sword. Janemba's swung was so powerful it cut many miles away. Gohan threw a ki blast at Janemba, but he sliced it in two. But it still hit him. And he wasn't fazed. Gohan flew away, trying to plan what he could do next. *** The Supreme Kai, Old Kai and Kibito watched in the World of the Kais from a Crystal Ball. "I thought you said he could defeat him! He's the son of that moron Goku!" Old Kai yelled. "Trust me, Elder Kai, I know he can do it! He's much stronger than his father!" Supreme Kai said. *** Janemba made his sword slice from many directions. Gohan narrowly avoided all but one slice. It grazed his chest, but cut the shirts. Janemba started chasing after Gohan, slicing with the sword again. Gohan kept narrowly avoiding them! Eventually he was caught in one, and he lost his Super Saiyan form. He fell right into a giant liquid red cone, where he floated. 'I can't believe he could beat a Super Saiyan 2... I'm so weak...' Gohan thought. Janemba, trying to have fun, started slicing the liquid until it was so small that Gohan barely fit in it. He stared at the motionless Gohan with a smug grin before finally slicing at him. Gohan braced for impact... When suddenly, many tiny blue ki blasts were sent at the slice and Janemba. Janemba roared as the blasts damaged him. The liquid shattered, and Gohan fell on the ground on all fours. "It seems you're going to need my help again, brat." A familiar voice said. Gohan looked behind him in shock. It was the Prince of all Saiyans, Vegeta! Author's Note It's been over a week, what the fuck am I doing? Fridge is empty, and I have not eaten in twenty minutes. Anyway, education's a real bitch. Graduation bullshit and I even threw up during one of the speeches. It was pure pandemonium. Okay, enough about vomit, I'm back, and I might post another one in two days. Next week is when I will most likely go on a marathon for this shit. But I might not because of other things I won't go into great detail for. I'm not abandoning this story, I fucking love it. Okay, now about Vegeta... He's the only one that the creature didn't erase from existence. Why? Torture. That settles that. Have a good day. The Ultimate Power Unleashed! (Fusion Reborn Pt. 2)"Vegeta!?" Gohan asked. "I'm going to end Janemba RIGHT now." Vegeta said. "Vegeta, I can tell you're a Super Saiyan 2, and you're much weaker than him. You can't beat him." Gohan said. "I know that, but fuck you anyway." Vegeta said before he charged at Janemba. 'Classic Vegeta.' Gohan thought. "You are going to kill yourself!" Gohan yelled. "Already dead, bitch!" Vegeta yelled. "Well, I can't argue with that." Gohan said. Janemba's sword disintegrated. He looked at it and laughed. Vegeta flew at him and delivered a kick! Janemba dodged, maneuvered underneath him and attacked with a roundhouse kick. Vegeta narrowly dodged and threw a ki blast at him. Janemba warped while cackling, dodging the attack. Vegeta was confused, but managed to block an incoming kick from Janemba. He was going to strike again, but stopped when Janemba warped again. He threw a ki blast fast enough to hit Janemba, so Janemba flew out of another portal. Vegeta flew at him, ready to punch him, but Janemba used his arm to grab Vegeta by the throat. "Vegeta!" Gohan yelled as he kicked Janemba in the back of the head, making him lose his grip. He instantly turned Super Saiyan 2 to deal with the coming threat. Janemba fired a green blast from his mouth at Gohan, but Gohan used Instant Transmission to teleport behind him and punch him in the back. Vegeta came flying in, trying to ram himself into Janemba from the front. Janemba reacted by warping the last second, making Vegeta ram into Gohan instead. Janemba warped behind the two, punching them far away. Gohan and Vegeta managed to recover, and they flew at Janemba again. "Raaaaah!" They both screamed as they flew at Janemba. Janemba warped again, and Gohan predicted where he was going by firing a Kamehameha at the air. Janemba was hit, and knocked back into where he originally was. Vegeta took this opportunity to kick Janemba, but then, he got serious. The kick didn't faze him this time. Janemba grabbed his foot and smashed Vegeta on the ground before spinning him around, tossing him at Gohan. "SOMEBODY USEFUL GET IN MY WAY!" Vegeta yelled as he flew. "What the-Dah!" Gohan said as Vegeta was rammed into him. Vegeta managed to recover first, kicking off of Gohan to fly at Janemba. He threw a fist at Janemba, but was quickly halted in front of Janemba's face. Want to guess what he did? He had kicked Vegeta in the dick. Vegeta let out a high pitched scream. Then Janemba punched him away. Gohan happened to appear where Vegeta was flying and caught him. "Are you alright, Vegeta!?" Gohan asked. Janemba warped his foot. "No, I'm not you-" Vegeta said before the warped foot kicked him in the dick again. Vegeta screamed in pain. As he was screaming, Janemba blew the two up with a powerful blast. It was like watching a nuclear explosion. Janemba grinned and started to laugh. *** "This isn't working!" Old Kai yelled. "I don't understand, his power could be felt even from the World of the Kais. Why hasn't he unleashed said power!?" Supreme Kai asked. "Perhaps he is having trouble unleashing it..." Kibito said. *** Let's check back in on Equestria. "King Sombra has returned!" Cadence said. "On it!" Goten yelled. They were back at the Crystal Empire. Goten charged at King Sombra, who was desperately trying to get in the Crystal Empire. He cupped his hands together, charging a Kamehameha up. "HA!" He yelled as he blasted King Sombra. Well, he ded nao. "How many more are there!?" Twilight asked. "A lot!" Rainbow Dash said as she unleashed a lightning bolt on another Red Ribbon Army soldier. "What is Gohan doing!?" Twilight asked. "He might be having trouble!" Goten said. "No way." Twilight said. *** During that, the two just got beaten up like crazy off screen. They are having trouble. Janemba was slowly walking towards the two from far away. Gohan's shirts were very torn. Vegeta's spandex was incredibly torn. They were both panting. "He keeps kicking me in the dick... Why? Why does he keep kicking me in the dick!?" Vegeta asked. "Wait, I think I know how we can beat him!" Gohan said. "If you say hit him really hard, I swear to God, I will kick YOU in the dick!" Vegeta said. "That sounds like something my dad would say, but no. I have a new form..." Gohan said. "And you decided to NOT use that until now!?" Vegeta yelled. "I don't know how to get it again, thanks!" Gohan said. "Drat, this won't do. How did you get it in the first place!?" Vegeta asked. "Looking at a moon..." Gohan said. "A moon? Then look at this moon!" Vegeta said, spawning a power ball. He threw it sky in the sky, and it was an artificial moon now. "Look at that, it's a damn moon! Now, hurry up, I'll hold him off!" Vegeta yelled as he charged at Janemba. Gohan stared at the moon. 'Here we go again.' He thought. He could feel his power starting to increase. But this time, he wasn't growing. No, not this time. Gohan began powering up uncontrollably. Janemba grabbed Vegeta by the neck with his tail, choking him. He started laughing manically. Gohan's aura flared, he started screaming, and his power was rising dramatically. Even Vegeta was surprised. Janemba decided to throw Vegeta away, tossing him straight at the Mountain of Spikes. He could feel Gohan's power rising, so he needed to end this quickly. He fired a green blast from his mouth straight at Gohan. Janemba laughed as it got closer and closer. Suddenly, it was driven off course by a yellow ki blast. It was Pikkon, and he seemingly appeared in front of Gohan. "I can feel your true power unfold. It's incredible. I'm going to need to buy us some time, huh." Pikkon said. Gohan was enveloped in a golden sphere, and could not be seen. His screaming got louder, and hell began to shake. Even the realms covered in barriers felt him. Vegeta landed safely in the boner barricade. He did not become a pig bit on a stick, luckily. Anyway, he was shocked at this display of power. He was already shocked that Gohan was leagues ahead of him, but never would he imagine this kind of strength. Pikkon took off his weights. "Let's go!" He yelled as he charged at Janemba. Janemba was waiting for Pikkon to strike. Pikkon smirked as he got closer. "DISGUSTING FREAK!" He yelled. Janemba's face and chest was seemingly fried, and he recoiled in pain. Pikkon was about to strike with a punch, but Janemba warped away in time. Pikkon didn't know what just happened. Janemba warped behind Pikkon, and smashed his fists towards each other on Pikkon's head! It was painful, and it felt like his brain was being crushed. Gohan finally transformed. His aura was intense, and his look now different. He... Was a Super Saiyan 4. His shirt was gone for now. Most of his reacquired body hair was red, and his hair was black. His power was the strongest in all the galaxies! But, he had to end this quickly. His form won't last for long. Janemba let go of Pikkon in interest. Pikkon fell to the floor. "W-Wow, incredible..." He said before fainting. "I am neither a Super Saiyan nor a Super Saiyan 2! I am beyond that of a Super Saiyan! It's over Janemba, I've come for you!" Gohan said. Janemba grinned in response. Gohan lifted a hand up, and released some ki at Janemba. The force was so strong that Janemba was sent flying! Gohan teleported behind Janemba and kicked him into the sky. He teleported above him again, and knocked him down with an axe kick. Janemba screamed in pain as he collided with the grounds of hell. Gohan landed nearby, not even facing Janemba. But then he turned around like a badass. Janemba jumped out of the small crater he made and dashed at Gohan in desperation. He smashed his fist into his face to cause no pain to Gohan. He looked in fear. Then he felt something penetrate through his stomach and back. It was Gohan's own fist. Janemba yelled in pain, because why not? You could say Gohan fisted him. He pulled his hand out all at once, making Janemba recoil in pain. He then held his hand out. Janemba looked up at it in fear. "Goodbye, Janemba." Gohan said before he effortlessly blasted Janemba to oblivion. It was yellow. As the blast died down, you could see sparkles. Hell was brought back to normal. A young boy suddenly appeared, looking saddened. But he looked at Gohan, who stared back with a death stare. So he panicked and ran away in fear! Gohan couldn't help but chuckle. *** Old Kai jumped in cheers. "Yes! He did it!" He yelled. "Thank Beerus..." Supreme Kai said. "I suppose I shall go fetch Son Gohan?" Kibito asked. "Yes." Supreme Kai said. Kibito nodded before performing Instantaneous Movement. *** Goten threw a punch at Dodoria, but it disappeared instantly. Every single dead person went back to hell. "Gohan finally did it!" Twilight said. "Thank goodness." Celestia said. "It took him long enough!" Rainbow Dash yelled. Only a few lives were lost to the never ending soldiers of hell. Goten reverted back to base form and smiled brightly. 'Finally...' He thought. *** Gohan and Vegeta stood beside the Bloody Pond. They were normal again. "Thanks, Vegeta. It looks like you've helped me out again." Gohan said. "Pah! I'm only repaying a debt I had." Vegeta said. "That reminds me... What was that debt?" Gohan asked. Vegeta smirked. "You nearly killed yourself defending me from Cell. I owe you my gratitude." He said. "Oh. Never thought you would take that seriously." Gohan said. "It's the same from when I first came to Earth. Your dumbass father Kakarot spared me." Vegeta said. "I see..." Gohan said. "Now I'm stuck in hell, still helping you, a low class warrior out. Some Prince I am, hah!" Vegeta laughed. Gohan snickered. "That also reminds me... How did you die?" He asked. "Well, some random alien showed up. He was so familiar, I just can't put my finger on it. He was very eloquent, but at the same time brutal. He was too powerful for any of us." Vegeta said. "Oh..." Gohan said. "That bastard not only killed Bulma and Trunks, but erased them from existence!" Vegeta said. "That can happen?" Gohan asked. "It DID happen. I'm stuck with my pride being shattered by that monster. I know that only a few of us aren't gone. The Namekian and the other baldy. Forgot his name." Vegeta said. "Krillin?" Gohan asked. Vegeta nodded. "Yeah, that dickhead. There might be more I'm forgetting about, but I don't give enough of a shit to care. Anyway, it's about time for me to hit the highway to hell. It was nice seeing you again, Gohan." He said, surprising Gohan. The only other time when Vegeta even referred to him as Gohan was during the Cell Games. It was a sign of respect. "It was good to see you too, Vegeta. I'll be sure to tell my father what you've done for me." Gohan said. Vegeta laughed. "If you can. Sayonara, bitch!" He said as he turned into a spirit and disappeared. ***EPIC FORESHADOWING*** 'Classic Vegeta.' Gohan thought while smiling. *** Gohan was at the check in station. "Thank you very much, Gohan!" Yemma said. "It's nothing, really. I couldn't have done it without Vegeta." Gohan said. "Vegeta? You mean the jerk who kicked me in the balls before going to hell?" Yemma asked. "Uh... That sounds like something he'd do." Gohan said. "Oh well. He's not as bad as that guy who came and erased a few souls from existence." Yemma said. "Who did he erase?" Gohan asked. "I forget, but there was about five, maybe six." Yemma said. 'Wait... So a few are left if he destroyed them.' Gohan thought. "Can I see some people in heaven?" Gohan asked. "Well, it is unorthodox, but since you've saved us all, I'll let it slide." Yemma said. "Thanks!" Gohan said as he ran into heaven. Author's Note So I managed to make this in two days. I'm shitting my pants, holy shit. Anyway, after over 50 chapters, Gohan's finally meeting his past. Oh, I should add the power levels. Vegeta - 1,300,000,000 SSJ - 65,000,000,000 SSJ2 - 130,000,000,000 Fatty Janemba - 350,000,000,000 Super Janemba - 20,000,000,000,000 And SSJ4 Gohan's like a 240,000,000,000,000,000. Meeting the Past..."Heaven is not what I imagined it to be... Eh, close enough." Gohan said to himself. Heaven was a wonderland full of flowers, puppies and everything you can imagine! He started to walk around the infinite flowers. He looked around to see many other dead people, but he was trying to find the ones he actually knew. Sensing them wasn't easy, especially since there's a ton of dead people and he hasn't seen his past friends in a while. To them it was several years, but only a few for Gohan. "Come on, Marron!" A familiar voice said. 'Now I KNOW who that is!' Gohan thought as he ran towards it. But when he got to the person, he couldn't recognize him. He was carrying a baby girl with blond hair. And he himself had a ton of hair. "18, do you want to play with her now?" He asked. "Fine." A familiar woman said. The guy handed the baby girl over to the woman. "Krillin?" Gohan asked. Krillin turned around. "Gohan!?" He asked. "Hey! It's been too long! I barely recognized you with all that hair!" Gohan said. "It's been over seven years! You haven't changed a bit!" Krillin said. "S-Seven years? It's only been about two." Gohan said. "What are you going on about?" Krillin asked. "Let's change the subject- How are you?" Gohan asked. "I'm great! Well, except that I died. Speaking of which, did you die? Your clothes are really messed up." Krillin asked. "No, but I came pretty close to more than once. How'd you die?" Gohan asked. "Some monster came to the Earth and killed us all! Vegeta didn't stand a chance." Krillin said. "Yeah..." Gohan said. "So, how've you been?" Krillin asked. "Ever since I left Earth, I've been great! Made new friends, defending a planet from evil, you know, good stuff. I'm still grateful that you helped me." Gohan said. "Krillin, who is this?" The woman asked. "Oh, this is Gohan, the one who defeated Cell!" Krillin said, turning to Gohan. "This is my wife, Android 18!" He said. "You married one of the androids?" Gohan asked. "And well, we had a kid." Krillin said, blushing. "R-Really!? How!?" Gohan asked. "18 used to be a human, you know. Dr. Gero only remodeled her, so we could still reproduce." Krillin said. "Yeah, this is Marron." 18 said unenthusiastically. Marron tried reaching over to Gohan. "Hello Maron!" Gohan said. "It's Marron." 18 said with a death stare. "If you get it wrong again, I'll kill you." She said grimly. "R-Right, sorry. Marron." Gohan said. "So, what're you doing in heaven if you're not dead?" Krillin asked. "I had to take care of a villain." Gohan said. "Wait, were you that immense power we felt?" Krillin asked. "I guess." Gohan said. "Whoa! That was beyond everything I've felt! You've sure gotten strong! I've slacked off too much, jeez!" Krillin said. Gohan chuckled. "Hey, do you know where some of the others are? Like my mother?" He asked. "You want to talk to Chi Chi?" Krillin asked, astonished. "Yeah." Gohan said. "I don't know where she is." He lied. "I know your brother Goten is alive." He said. "Yeah, I know. He escaped to where I escaped to." Gohan said. "Really? That's great! How is he?" Krillin asked. "Surprisingly old and surprisingly happy." Gohan said. "Surprisingly old? What is he, 20?" Krillin asked. "He was about six when I saw him, even though he wasn't born when I was on Earth only a few years ago!" Gohan said. "Oh. That's... Weird. You've been gone for over seven years." Krillin said. "I guess in my world time moves slower." Gohan said. "I guess. I know Piccolo's around here somewhere, and I don't know where Tien and Yamcha are... Bulma and Trunks... I don't know either." Krillin said. "I heard from Vegeta." Gohan said. "Oh. Sorry. Well, it was great seeing you again, Gohan. It's also great that you're doing well." Krillin said. "It's great to see you too. See you!" Gohan said as he flew up to find Piccolo from above. "Bye Gohan!" Krillin said. 'Okay, now, where can I find Piccolo...' Gohan thought. 'I hope he doesn't get the bad news about Goku...' Krillin thought. Then Gohan realized where he could find Piccolo. *** Piccolo was in a secluded location meditating. Specifically, beside a river. The stream was perfect for meditation. Beside him were some plateaus covered in moss. He sat in midair beside the river. Somebody landed beside him, ruining his meditation. He looked over his shoulder in surprise. "Hey, Piccolo." Gohan said. "Gohan?" Piccolo asked in surprise. "It's been a while..." Gohan said. "...Why did you visit me?" Piccolo asked, standing. "I wanted to see you again... Even though... Well, you know." Gohan said. "Y-You... Huh?" Piccolo asked. "I-Is that a surprise?" Gohan asked. "It is. Your power rose dramatically. Yet you look like you haven't aged a day." Piccolo said. "It's a very long story." Gohan said. "So why did you want to come talk to me?" Piccolo asked. "I really want to make up with you... Well, if you want to." Gohan said. "Over something you didn't really do?" Piccolo joked. "What?" Gohan asked. "Goku." Piccolo said. "Uh... Yes." Gohan said. "Forget that, I should be apologizing to you, kid. You're too nice." Piccolo said, grinning. "I haven't had that one thrown at me for a while." Gohan said. "Anyway, I'm sorry, kid. I shouldn't have done anything I did to you. And it would mean a lot to me if you happened to forgive me for that." Piccolo said, taking his head weight off. Gohan smiled brightly. He had his big green dad back! I-I mean, his first best friend back! "Why wouldn't I!?" Gohan asked. Piccolo was a bit surprised, but he also expected it. Goku's pure heart would definitely pass on to his kids. "Thanks, Gohan." Piccolo said. "So, how was life since I left?" Gohan asked. "Well, soon after I put a hole in you, we all realized how horribly we had treated you. Seriously, we ALL did. You have a few people to talk to." Piccolo said. "Mom, Tien, and Yamcha, right?" Gohan asked. Piccolo had to choose his words wisely. "Chi Chi is gone, but she'll be back. She and Goku... Went somewhere." Piccolo said. He wasn't really lying... Except for the being back part. "Oh. Did they go on another honeymoon or something?" Gohan asked. "Goku did say something like that. Speaking of which, are you dating or something? Are you in school? What about your new friends and family?" Piccolo asked instantly. "Wow... That was quick. I'm not dating, nor do I really have an intention yet. I'm not in school, but I'm studying and planning to go, and my new friends are amazing." Gohan said. Piccolo smiled. "Good for you. It's an honor to even see you again." He said. "I'm honored to be your friend again. As my friends say, Friendship is magic. Literally, too." Gohan said. "Magic? My clothes beam is magic. Friendship is magic?" Piccolo said while suppressing laughs. "It's pretty strong, but compared to us it's not much. I can tell you've been training rigorously." Gohan said. "Heh. That's another thing I've done since you left. Bulma started making extra powerful gravity machines. I know Goku took one to you." Piccolo said. "So he DID visit you!" Gohan said. "He told us how well you were doing. He didn't tell us much, but he told us you were as happy as ever." Piccolo said. "So, what else happened?" Gohan asked. The two started to sit down and talk. Talk like they did around a campfire years ago, when Gohan trained under Piccolo. "Well, we dealt with the wizard Babadi. He had the demon king Dabura under his grasp, and it was a real challenge. The Supreme Kai warned us beforehand about them. They would come to Earth to resurrect, or resummon Majin Buu. Since he warned us, we all got together. We barely stood a chance. Dabura was stronger than I thought, and I thought I was a demon king. Good thing was, Vegeta managed to go Super Saiyan 2 and blast them to oblivion before Majin Buu was released. We used the Dragon Balls to remove Majin Buu from existence forever." Piccolo said. "Good!" Gohan said. "What about you? What kind of weird adventures have YOU gone through?" Piccolo asked. "As soon as I landed in my new world, Equestria, I was instantly up against someone. Or, pony, actually. The world's inhabitants are ponies, griffons, dragons, and many more weird creatures that could talk. She was known as Nightmare Moon, and she was barely a challenge, even in my weakened state. Six other ponies tried stopping me, saying: 'You wouldn't stand a chance against Nightmare Moon!'" Gohan said. *** "And then, my dad swooped in and saved me before Discord could end me!" *** "Seriously, she has reality warping powers!" *** "And then, I was in a world full of humanized ponies! They were all humans!" Gohan said. "Did you think any of them were cute?" Piccolo joked. "No, I didn't think any of them were cute." Gohan said. *** "She was definitely stronger than me in my base form, but Super Saiyan made it a joke. I wasn't going to finish her off, but I wanted her to realize that you can't always win alone. You need friends, and you can't just step on others to climb to the top! You'll fall down eventually, like she just did." *** "And then, Bojack came! It was a disaster, I barely stood a chance! Luckily, I finally turned Super Saiyan 2, and beat them all!" *** "Tirek was a monster. He and Discord managed to trap me and steal my Super Saiyan power!" *** "And that's why my power dramatically increased. I went through a few zenkai boosts, and I even absorbed the Super Saiyan power!" *** "The Dazzlings were a joke, but thy were able to tear everyone apart with their music. They tried to use me, but it didn't work!" *** "This crazy pony, Starlight Glimmer, tried stealing everyone's Cutie marks! All part of a 'perfect society,' or something. She's given up her old ways, and we're best friends now. She thought I had a cutie mark! And she wasn't too powerful for a unicorn proficient in magic." *** "The Anon-A-Miss incident was just weird. Everyone turned on Sunset! They all thought she backstabbed them, but I stayed at her side. I got proof and evidence that the culprits were someone else! I honestly think she likes me, but I'm not too sure about it. The real culprits, Applebloom, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo fessed up." *** "Goten came! It was a HUGE surprise. Like, really huge! I didn't even realize! He was six years old! Six! I was only gone for two, what the heck! He was even a Super Saiyan! It took me, Vegeta, Dad, Trunks and such years to master it! He just did it at random! But he didn't know ki. Did it backwards, go figure." *** "Oh boy, this world's Twilight was a real hoot. She became power hungry, and starting tearing through dimensions! She was known as Midnight Sparkle! Goten managed to get the remaining magic Sunset had, and he blasted Midnight Sparkle with it, putting a huge hole in her stomach. *** "So I taught them ki, and they're getting better." *** "I'm a godfather! Can you believe it? A princess wanted me to be the godfather. The name of the baby is Flurry Heart, and she's an alicorn baby! She blasted me so hard that I got my tail back, see?" Gohan asked, showing his tail to Piccolo. "You got it back? Did you..." Piccolo asked. "Yeah, I turned into the great oozaru. But, something good came from it! Except me destroying a few things. I got a new form!" Gohan said. "A new form? What, Super Saiyan 3?" Piccolo asked. "I don't know if it's a Super Saiyan form, but it's much more powerful than Super Saiyan 2." Gohan said. *** "And Vegeta saved me from certain death!" *** "And here we are now." Gohan ended. That was a long-ass story, fuck! "Well, you've certainly had fun." Piccolo said. "And now I'm happier than ever! We're friends again!" Gohan said. "Yeah, kid. Well, it's been fun, but you have a world to get back to." Piccolo said. "I have to go see Tien and Yamcha, first. I can come back with Instant Transmission now." Gohan said. "Really?" Piccolo asked. "Yeah! I'll be sure to come back." Gohan said. "You better tell me your stories." Piccolo said, standing up. "Yeah, I will." Gohan said, standing up. "Bye, Piccolo!" He said as he flew away. Piccolo waved. *** Gohan searched for two others now. Tienshinhan and Yamcha. He was gonna give them a biiig hug if they still liked them. If he could find them, that is. I mean, he did! First up was Tienshinhan. He was training, by practicing his attacks. Gohan landed nearby. "Hey Tien!" He said. Tienshinhan looked to his side. "Gohan? Is that you?" He asked. "Yep!" Gohan said. "Y-You're not dead, are you?" Tienshinhan asked. "No. I came to talk to you." Gohan said. "Is it for an apology from me?" Tienshinhan asked. "Well, kind of, but... I wouldn't know how to describe it, I just want to be friends again." Gohan said. Tienshinhan smiled. "I'd be happy to. I'm not happy about what I've done." He said. "Well, are you happy to forget all about it?" Gohan asked. "And I believe someone else would be happy as well. Yamcha!" Tienshinhan called. A long haired individual appeared out of nowhere. "Yo! Gohan, it's been a while." Yamcha said. "Y-Yamcha!? You look so... Young again!" Gohan said, surprised. "You haven't aged a bit!" Yamcha said. "I am growing! It's only been two years, okay!?" Gohan asked. "It's been over seven..." Tienshinhan said. "Not in my world. Anyway, it's great to see you all again!" Gohan said. They both nodded. "We're glad to see you too. Now, we'll be resuming our training." Tienshinhan said. "Yeah, I'm not about to let Tien get too far ahead of me!" Yamcha said. Gohan chuckled. "Okay, you two. Have fun!" He said, flying away. *** Now, Gohan was searching his for father, Goku. Well, where he and his mother were on their honeymoon or whatever. Well, at the same time, he was looking for his mother, but his focus was mainly on Goku. He couldn't sense Goku... 'Where did dad go!?' He thought. He went past Snake Way, traveled to Grand Kai's planet, traveled all over Other World, and still, no signs of Goku. Holy shit, he searched everywhere. He even asked King Yemma, but nope! Even the Supreme Kai didn't have an answer. Well, the interaction was hilarious. *** The Supreme Kai was drinking tea and relaxing.... Then Gohan just appeared out of nowhere. "Supreme Kai, I need to know where my dad is!" He said. The Supreme Kai just fell off his chair. "Warn me next time you get here!" He yelled. "S-Sorry." Gohan said. "And I don't know where your father is... I wouldn't know!" Supreme Kai said, getting up. "Really? What about that crystal ball over there? Didn't that somehow see me?" Gohan asked. "It has limitations!" Supreme Kai said. (You know what? imma just call him Shin from now on.) *** He eventually gave up, and made his return to Equestria. The good thing was, he could use Instant Transmission to Equestria and back now. He's going to search for Goku again later. So, he's back in Equestria. He teleported to the throne room in Twilight's castle. "Well it's about time!" Rainbow Dash yelled. "What happened?" Goten asked. "You look like you've been through a real fight." Twilight said. "Yeah, Super Saiyan 2 wasn't enough this time." Gohan said. "What?" Applejack asked. "Where's your sword?" Rarity asked. "Broken." Gohan said. "Commander Hurricane's sword is broken?" Rainbow Dash asked. "D-Did you go that scary giant ape form?" Fluttershy asked. "Well, I didn't turn into the great oozaru, but I went-" "-Super Saiyan 4?" Pinkie interrupted. "For the last time, Pinkie, he has to go 3 before going 4!" Twilight said. "His dad already went Super Saiyan 3! It makes his hair super long and his eyebrows go away!" Pinkie retorted. "Seriously, I tried finding my dad in heaven, and he wasn't there. Even if I found him, he would probably say he didn't go Super Saiyan 3." Gohan said. "You went to heaven?" Goten asked. "I fought a guy in hell with two dead people." Gohan said. "Oh heck yeah! Gohan went to hell and back!" Rainbow Dash said. "Language, you two!" Rarity scolded. "S-Sorry." Gohan said. "Wow! That's so cool!" Goten said. "I even saw Vegeta there, Goten." Gohan said. "Really? Did you see Trunks?" Goten asked. Now, Gohan had to carefully answer. "No, I couldn't. He and Bulma are pretty busy right now. But, I can take us up there to see them sometime." Gohan said. "Wait, you can go to heaven... When you're not dead...?" Twilight asked. "I don't get it either, my dad used to do it all the time." Gohan said. "Did you see some of your past friends?" Twilight asked. "Yeah, I did!" Gohan said. "So, how did it go?" Rarity asked. "Great! We all made up!" Gohan said. "Anything else?" Goten asked. "Yeah! Also, you look exactly like dad, so don't be surprised if you see a bigger you." Gohan said. "Okay!" Goten said. "Great! I need a senzu. And then I'm-" Gohan said before his stomach rumbled. "Yeah, you know what that means." Gohan said. Then Goten's stomach rumbled. "That makes two of us!" Goten said. Then everyone laughed. Author's Note Gohan still dunno about Goku. Will the dead ones make a return? Probably. Okey dokey, I'm off to have a huge migraine. Have a good day. Gohan and Goten's Life through Season 6Season 6 was just great, hah! First off, teaching the Humane 7 flight. Oh, and seeing his tail, I guess. *** The Humane 7 were waiting for Gohan to arrive, as usual. Training was getting them pumped. Especially this one, since- You already know. "You better not use your flight to prank people, Rainbow." Sunset said. "No promises. This is gonna be so awesome!" Rainbow Dash said. "I won't need to use the bus!" Twilight said. "I thought I knew humans until I saw Gohan." Spike said. "And we thought we knew dogs until we met you, Spike." Applejack said. "Good point." Spike said. Then Gohan came through the portal. With a new look, too. Piccolo's gi! Even with the cape over the extremely weighted pads! As a Super Saiyan, too. "Hey guys." He said. "Yo!" Rainbow Dash said. "What are you wearing!?" Sunset asked, trying to contain her laughs. "Is this your attempt at being a superhero?" Rarity asked in between giggles. The Humane 7 had to admit, it was hard not to laugh. "No, it's the getup my first teacher, Piccolo wears." Gohan said. "That's a corny getup. And it's purple!" Rainbow Dash said. "I don't call your band dresses corny." Gohan retorted. "He does have a fair point." Rarity said. "Then can you remove the cape?" Pinkie asked. "Is it really that bad?" Gohan asked. "Yes." Everyone said. Gohan sighed as he removed the weight. "This was really nostalgic for me, but I guess it's not something to wear around others." Gohan muttered. He spun it around to wrap itself. "Are you gonna keep the blond?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Actually, not today." Gohan said, reverting back to base form, and he dropped it on the fucking ground. And he fucking cracked it. For a scholar, he's a dumbass. Oxymoron, I know. "Uh oh..." Gohan said. "Oh come on, how heavy is THAT one?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Same as my dad's gi." Gohan said, picking it up again. "How did you even get that?" Twilight asked. "Clothes beam." Gohan said. "Clothes beam?" Everyone asked. "Another time." Gohan said. Then they noticed the tail. "What's that?" Pinkie asked. "This?" Gohan asked, raising his tail. "It's my tail." He said. ... "SCIENCE!" Twilight yelled as she lunged forward. "Whoa, whoa!" Gohan said as he flew up. "I need to study it!" Twilight yelled as she desperately reached up to Gohan. "Another time!" Gohan said. "Aw!" Twilight moaned. "Twilight, he'll indulge another time!" Sunset said. "I'm just as much of a nerd as you are, Twilight. I want to become a scholar too, and maybe study my tail, but another time." Gohan said. "Besides, he can tell us about it another time!" Rainbow Dash said. "Fine!" Twilight said, crossing her arms and sitting on the steps. "Speaking of scholar, do any of you know how I can go to school here?" Gohan asked. "Well, you need to the principal's office and ask: 'Principal Celestia? Can I please, please, PLEASE go to school here with two scoops of vanilla ice cream sprinkles peanuts and goober berry sauce?'" Pinkie said. "Pinkie." Everyone said. "With a cherry on top?" Pinkie asked before smiling. "Ignore all that. You just have to ask Principal Celestia." Sunset said. "She'll let you pass no problem. Maybe you'll take placement tests, and you can go to whatever grade you end up in." Rainbow Dash said. "Ah. Thank you." Gohan said. "Where's Goten?" Fluttershy asked. "He's off somewhere playing with his friends. I think he's fishing or something." Gohan said. "How's life?" Sunset asked. "It's the best! Apart from almost dying, I just reconciled with my past!" Gohan said. "Well, most of it." He added. "You reconciled with your past?" Rarity asked. "Wait, I'm confused." Twilight said. "You don't know the whole story, Twi." Applejack said. "In short he was betrayed by his past friends. That's why he's here." Sunset said. "But they suddenly forgave you?" Twilight asked. "That's the weird part! Apparently, time passes much slower in Equestria compared to Earth. It's been seven years to them." Gohan said. "Seven years!?" Everyone asked in surprise. "And that's not the worst part. They're all dead." Gohan said. ... "Why!?" Everyone asked. "Beats me. Even they don't know what killed them. All I know is that my brother escaped his wrath." Gohan said. "Wait... If they're dead, how did you talk to them?" Pinkie asked. "In short, I had to go to hell to fight a villain, and Super Saiyan 2 wasn't enough. He even broke my sword!" Gohan said. "Wait... You went to hell? Did you beat the guy?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Uh, yeah. I had an old friend help me. I turned-" "-Super Saiyan 4!?" Pinkie interrupted. "For Kami's sake, why do you keep calling it that!?" Gohan asked. "Because it is!" Pinkie said. "Uh... What is this Super Saiyan 4?" Sunset asked. "Sounds cool. Even though you skipped 3." Rainbow Dash said. "How do I even know about it?" Pinkie asked. "First off, I really don't think it's called Super Saiyan 4. It exists because I have my tail again. The power was Super Saiyan 2 on steroids times ten." Gohan said. "That sounds like a hefty boost." Sunset said. "Can you show us?" Fluttershy asked. "I'd rather not." Gohan said. "What? But why!?" Pinkie whined. "Fluttershy would call me a scary monster if she saw it and I'd also tear up this place just trying to transform." Gohan said. "Oh. That makes sense." Twilight said. "Okay. How was life here?" Gohan asked. "We're going on a camping trip sometime when summer vacation happens! In like, nine months... You wanna come with us?" Pinkie asked. "Sure. I think Goten would like to go too." Gohan said. "Perfect!" Twilight said. "Now, are we ready for training?" Gohan asked. "Yeah, I'm ready to fly!" Rainbow Dash said, saluting. *** The nine (including the dog) were on the empty soccer field. "It's funny to me how whenever we train, the soccer field happens to be empty." Gohan said. "That's because I'm the captain. I can call off meetings and practices whenever I want." Rainbow Dash said. "Oh. That makes sense, I guess. Okay, now... Show me how you've all improved in ki." Gohan said. Rainbow Dash cupped her hands by her side. "Kamehameha!" She yelled, firing... Well, I can say okay blast into the sky. It was kind of like the real thing, it was just a regular blast. It was amplified a bit, so it kind of passes? It was also blue instead of yellow, so it passes. "Good job." Gohan said. Pinkie Pie was next, and oh boy, she was ready to show off. She threw a pink ki blast to the side, but actually managed to control it, so she started free styling with it. She made it come back to her, and she dodged it by jumping and doing a handstand with one hand. Bending one leg, she made the stuck up leg make yet another ki blast and bent both of them, sending the newly created ki blast flying. She stood on her two feet again, and made the two ki blasts smash into each other by clapping, destroying each other. She was not that winded. "Nice job! I liked the dancing." Gohan said. Then it was Sunset Shimmer to come up next. 'This'll surprise him.' She thought. She was gonna use something he used. She raised her hands up to her face, and pointed her fingers at her face. "Solar Flare!" She yelled, creating a pretty bright light. It wasn't as bright as Tienshinhan's first use for it, but let's say it was about a third as strong. The rest of the Humane 7 shielded their eyes. So did Gohan. He grinned. Sunset finally let the sunlight die down. Gohan finally looked again. "Nice job. Did you do it because of your name?" Gohan asked. "It's the exact opposite of what my name means." Sunset said. "That wasn't a shimmer, that was a really strong flash of light! That must've taken over 174,000,000,000,000,000 watts!" Twilight said. "How do you know that!?" Rainbow Dash asked. "I'm guessing that's how many watts the Sun takes to emit light to this planet, correct?" Gohan asked. "Correct!" Twilight said. "You two are just... Too nerdy. You two are perfect for each other." Rainbow Dash said. Sunset gave Rainbow Dash a death stare. "Nah." Gohan said, making Sunset stop. Rarity was next. She was pretty much going to do what Pinkie did but with a stronger ball. She made an upwards facing open palm, and wrapped her other hand around the arm for support. She focused her ki into a strong blue ball into her hand. Now, Rarity didn't need to use the other hand for support. She needed it to guide the ball. So, she started pointing it at Gohan. The ball darted at him at an alarming speed. But, suddenly, it changed course. It darted to the left, straight at Fluttershy, who cowered so much she ducked. The ball darted to the right of her, straight at... nothing. Then she made it fly everywhere, making her hands fly everywhere. It went all around the girls. Rarity started panting and sweating. Eventually she ended it by slamming it into the ground, killing the ball. "How... Was... That....?" She asked in between pants. "Great!" Gohan said. Next up was Applejack. She did the same as Rainbow Dash, but didn't yell Kamehameha. She didn't yell at all. Also she didn't cup her hands to charge it up. "Good, good." Gohan said. Now it was Twilight's turn. "Now, I've been practicing, but this is the best I can do." She said. She produced many minor ki blasts and started to blast them everywhere. Her friends were constantly dodging the barrage... Well, except Gohan. The aim of her attack was not the best. Eventually she got too exhausted and sat down on the ground, panting. "Good job, Twilight." Gohan said, helping her stand up. Finally, it was Fluttershy. Needless to say, nobody expected her ki. She put her hands together in front of her, forming an O with all her fingers. She bent her knees. Gohan tried remembering which technique she's using... Because it was very familiar. Fluttershy was charging up pink ki in between her hands. And she was taking a lot of it. "Haaaaaaaaaaaaa........." She began to yell. Gohan could feel her power increase... Surpassing everyone else!? It was taking a few minutes... "Ugh, could she be any slower!? She's taking like, twenty hours." Rainbow Dash said. "It's been five minutes." Twilight said. "It's called hyperbole, egghead." Rainbow Dash said. "I'm surprised you're correcting me with such expanded vocabulary." Twilight said. "Currently, her ki blast is stronger than all of you. This is interesting." Gohan said. "What? That's crazy!" Pinkie said. Fluttershy's ki was at it's maximum now. "HRRAAAGH!" She yelled as she sprang her hands forward, smashing her wrists together and releasing the immense ki on Gohan. Gohan knew that if he let it blow up here, the soccer field would be ruined. So, he kicked it up into the sky! Fluttershy was panting, and fell to her knees. "Fluttershy!" Rainbow Dash said, helping her back up. "That was incredible! I didn't know you knew how to use your surroundings to form ki." Gohan said. "You mean the only way a machine can perpetually go?" Twilight asked. "Well, yes, I suppose, but the point is, she surpassed you all threefold." Gohan said. "What!?" Everyone asked. Even Fluttershy was surprised. "It's true. She charged up a ton of ki." Gohan said. "It took me half an hour to get it right the last time..." Fluttershy said. "You all are doing amazing. Sunset and Fluttershy were the most impressive. They learned something incredible all on their own. That doesn't mean Rarity and Pinkie don't get honorable mentions. The rest of you did great as well." Gohan said. "So... Can we fly yet?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Sure thing! You guys, even you, Twilight, are ready!" Gohan said. The girls started to cheer and stuff. "But we need to start exercising." Gohan said. Everyone booed and complained. "Oh come on, you all can see the improvement!" Gohan said. *** Everyone was doing push-ups. Yes, even Gohan, because it made them feel better. (Mostly because they didn't want him looking at the you know what. Even though he doesn't.) He was doing quick one arm push-ups while they did the two arm push-ups. Twilight finished early with 50 push-ups. They were all done, and taking a break sitting down. "Man, doing over two hundred push-ups... Never thought I could get this far." Rainbow Dash said. "Me neither..." Fluttershy said. "You see? This is progress. This is what training gets you!" Gohan said. "Yeah, but we can never get on your level." Sunset said. "Don't say that." Gohan said. "Well, it's true!" Pinkie said. "Yeah, you're a planet- Maybe galaxy buster!" Rainbow Dash said. "I wouldn't go THAT far..." Gohan said. "You constantly fight evil for TWO different worlds. You're like a soldier of war, but the only one!" Sunset said. "Well, Goten's here, and he's super strong." Gohan said. "Yeah, but you've been around for a while. I still don't understand why you didn't just end me instantly when I was a she-demon. Or Twilight, for that matter." Sunset said. "What do you mean? The only way you could actually be defeated was through magic, not my strength." Gohan said. Sunset got exactly what she wanted, she said something untrue and managed to get Gohan to lie. "You didn't even go Super Saiyan on me." Twilight said. "You were holding back on me too. You're a Super Saiyan 2, too." Sunset said. "You let Goten get the spotlight!" Rainbow Dash said. "Well... I..." Gohan said. He didn't have an answer. "We know you're humble, but you're on par with Fluttershy at this rate." Sunset said. "Oh... I don't know about that." Fluttershy and Gohan both said. "I actually have it in me to punch, she doesn't." Gohan said, trying to make Fluttershy seem better. "B-But I don't have it in me to stand up for my friends..." Fluttershy said, trying to make Gohan seem better. "What are you talking about? You stood by us to protect Twilight from Sunset!" Rainbow Dash said. "And it was pretty cool that you fought with us against the Dazzlings." Sunset said. "Don't doubt yourself. Nobody else at this school can actually hurt you now." Gohan said. "R-Really?" Fluttershy asked. "Each of you, except Twilight, are about as strong as my first teacher was when I was about four." Gohan said. "Really? That strong?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Where am I placed?" Twilight asked. "I know for sure you're about a sixth of everyone else, but you're catching up rapidly." Gohan said. "A few months of training got us this?" Sunset asked. "I could increase the pace with weighted clothes, if you want." Gohan said. "Yes please!" Pinkie said. "Next time, I'll be back with 20 kilogram weights for you all." Gohan said. "Are you going to increase it as time goes by?" Sunset asked. "Obviously." Gohan said. Rainbow Dash punched her palm. "I'm pumped for that!" She said. "Great! But let's learn how to fly, now." Gohan said. "Yay!" Everyone cheered. Everyone stood up. "It's finally time to try our first flight. Just use your energy inside you, and be careful!" Gohan said. Pinkie Pie was jumping up and down in an attempt to fly, while everyone else was just on their toes, concentrating as hard as they could. This wouldn't get them to fly... "Uh... Pinkie, flying and hopping and two different things." Gohan said. Pinkie stopped jumping. "Well what do you want me to do?" Pinkie asked. "Use your energy... Remember that, don't just concentrate." Gohan said. Suddenly, there was a wind emanating from Fluttershy. The other girls stopped to watch. Fluttershy's hair stood up. She started to grunt as she slowly lifted herself up in the air. Gohan smiled. "Yeah, that's it!" He said. "Reall- AH!" Fluttershy said as she fell flat on her bottom. "Oh... Sorry... I must've broken your concentration..." Gohan said. "She already got it? Come on..." Rainbow Dash said. Gohan helped Fluttershy back up. "Try that again, but don't focus so hard." He said. Then, Pinkie was flying! "Like this, Gohan?" She asked. "Yeah, you got it!" Gohan said. Pinkie started flapping her arms around. "I'm a little birdie! Yay!" She said. "N-Not so high!" Gohan said. "Aw, don't worry!" Pinkie said. He had every single bit to worry about, she was 25 feet up in the air, and she just lost her flight, and she fell on the ground HEAD first! "Pinkie! Are you alright!?" Twilight asked. "See, you should've listened to me!" Gohan said. "Aw, its fine!" Pinkie said, rubbing her head as she sat up. Twilight helped her up. *** Everyone finally mastered flight. Well, except Sunset. She couldn't use her energy for some reason. Even Twilight managed to do it, come on! Rainbow Dash and Pinkie were playing air tag while flying, Twilight was practicing and everyone else was on the ground. "Can you explain it a little deeper!?" Sunset asked. "Okay, let's just start from the beginning. Feel the energy from your stomach, and slowly bring it out. Relax your muscles. It's easy, it's kind of like using your imagination." Gohan said. Sunset was sweating... But she managed to get some wind. She stared to grunt loudly. "Is she doing it yet?" Rainbow Dash asked as she was being chased by Pinkie. Sunset's hair stared to fly up, and so did her jacket. "You have the energy, Sunset. Now, push it upwards!" Gohan said, throwing his hands up. Sunset managed to finally get it! She slowly levitated off the ground! She was about 6 inches up. "Yeah! You got it!" Gohan said. "I'm trying to concentrate!" Sunset retorted. Gohan was going to hush. Sunset focused a little... too hard. She accidentally sent her energy forward, making her smash into Gohan head first quickly. He didn't fall over, but he gave Sunset a big headache. "Ow!" Sunset said, sitting on the ground and rubbing her head. "Are you alright!?" Gohan asked. "Yeah, I'll be fine, ugh!" Sunset said, holding back a few tears. Smashing into Gohan was like smashing into a hard rock. "Why are you as hard as a rock!?" She asked. "If you smashed into a rock you would've destroyed it." Gohan said. *** Well, now they're flight masters. Not really, but good. Anyway, now he and Goten are going to CHS! For some placement exams! It's not how it works but I don't see it happening any other way. *** So, it was an early morning. Gohan and Goten came through the portal. And with the original father gi. (Gohan's in his father's gi for the rest of the chapter) "So, ready to go to school?" Gohan asked. "We're at the school." Goten said. "I meant are you ready to learn." Gohan said. "Oh. Yeah, I am!" Goten said. Nobody was at school except for the teachers. The two entered the school and went towards the principal's office. Gohan knocked very lightly. "Come in." Celestia said. The door opened, and the two walked into the room. "Son Gohan? What brings you here? And so early?" Celestia asked. "Hello Principal Celestia. My brother and I wanted to get an education here." Gohan said. "You want to go to school here?" Celestia asked. "Yep!" Goten said. "Okay, please, take a seat." Celestia said, gesturing at the two seats in front of her. They sat down. Celestia reached into a drawer and grabbed a file. "I need to get some personal info about you two and have you take a placement test. The reason being, the Academic Decathlon. You boys have great potential, and I won't just put you two in grades specific to your ages." Celestia said. "Okay." Gohan said. "Okay, can I get an address of where you two live?" Celestia asked. "I don't think I can provide that... I could give you the address of our old home on another planet." Gohan said. "That's right... You're from another world... I'll just take that." Celestia said. "58N 018, 439 East District, Mount Paozu." Gohan said. Celestia wrote it down. "That's in the other Equestria, correct?" Celestia asked. "No." Gohan said. "Wait... You're not even from the other world?" Celestia asked. "We're from other planets, yes." Gohan said. "Oh, okay. A bit of a surprise, but that's alright. Now, what are your ages?" Celestia asked. "I'm six!" Goten said. "I'm thirteen." Gohan said. Celestia wrote it down. "Okay... Now, what can we add as emergency contacts?" She asked. "Emergency contacts?" Gohan and Goten asked. "Do you two have a cell phone?" Celestia asked. The two shook their heads. Celestia looked at the sheet... "Eh, you won't need any contacts. You two are superpowered." She said. "I mean, you could just give it to Sunset Shimmer. She's the only one with a way to contact us on the other side." Gohan said. "Okay, I'll put her in." Celestia said. And then there was more birthday stuff, and etc etc. Now, placement test time! The two were placed in the library to take the test. And they started to take it. Gohan just flew right through it. Goten was good, but some things he didn't understand. By the end of it, they received their placement. It was the end of the day. Gohan was placed in the same grade as the Humane 7, 11th grade. (I don't know, okay?) And Goten was placed in 6th grade. Same grade as the human CMC... Chi Chi raised them well... Except Gohan wholly, but whatever. *** Celestia led Gohan and Goten to their new lockers the next day. "279 and 280. Huh. They're right next to the lockers of those girls you hang around." She said. "Really? That's great!" Gohan said. "Well, have a good day. And if you have any more questions, feel free to step in my office." Celestia said as she walked away. Gohan opened his empty locker. "What was the point of me doing that again?" He asked himself, closing the locker. "I dunno." Goten said. Then the Humane 7 were all walking their way. "What's Gohan and Goten doing here?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Let's go ask. Hey Gohan! Goten!" Sunset said, waving to them. "Hi!" Gohan said, waving back. Now they were all face to face. "What are you doing here?" Sunset asked. "We're going to school here!" Gohan said. ... "WHAT!?" Everyone asked. "You took the placement test!?" Sunset asked. "Yep! I'm in 11th grade, and he's in 6th." Gohan said. "You're in our grade!?" Twilight asked. "Why!?" Rainbow Dash asked. "I want to go to Marevard." Gohan said. "Great school, but why?" Sunset asked. "I've always wanted to be a scholar." Gohan said. "And Goten?" Pinkie asked. "I wanted to learn again!" Goten said cheerfully. "So... You're going to be here everyday? That's awesome!" Sunset said. "Yeah, but if something's happening in Equestria then we'll be late. Or absent." Gohan said. "But we'll be here most of the time!" Goten said. "Fabulous!" Rarity said. "Hey, if anything happens, we'll just send in the world's strongest bookworm!" Sunset said. "Hey!" Gohan said. "And I just wonder who'll get all the egghead awards at the award ceremony." Rainbow Dash said. "Hey!" Gohan and Twilight said. *** First class. Let's start with Gohan. He was going to science. "We have a review on cellular biology." Sunset said. "Crap, I forgot to study." Rainbow Dash said. "Aw! But cells are boring!" Gohan complained. "Agreement." Twilight said. He entered the class with his single pencil and pen, and sat down at an empty desk. The rest of the Humane 7 surrounded him. Rainbow Dash was doing some last minute studying. He saw the other taller students enter the room, and they were confused that a little kid was in their class. (He's actually 4' 2" or something lesser than that. Everyone else is like... 5' 4" or something.) "Class, settle down now." The female teacher said. Everyone sat down. "We have a new student. His name is... Gohan Son?" She asked. "S-Son Gohan." Gohan corrected. "This is a surprise... I know Vice Principal Luna said you were young, but you're tiny!" She said. "I know that." Gohan said. "And you aced the placement exam?" She asked. "That is correct." Gohan said. "How!?" Everyone in the class asked. "I'm homeschooled." Gohan said. "A-Anyway... I need to hand you these textbooks and notebooks for class." The teacher said. "But we have a review on cells today." She added. "I wanna take it!" Gohan said instantly. "A-Are you sure?" She asked. Gohan nodded. *** He aced the fucking thing. And was the first to finish. The teacher was just flabbergasted by Gohan, but paid no mind to it after the test. "He's going to be Twilight's rival at this rate, jeez!" She muttered *** For Goten, it played out like this. He was a six year old in a gym class full of ten and eleven year olds. Bulk Biceps was the gym teacher. (I'm making it up, I don't know who the hell the real one is.) "We have a new student, Son Goten." Bulk Biceps said. "Why is a five year old here?" Applebloom asked. "He passed the placement test. Today we're gonna play soccer, YEAH!" Bulk Biceps yelled, dropping the soccer ball to Goten's feet. "Uh... Make sure he go easy on him, 'Kay?" He whispered to a student. Everyone was waiting for him to kick it. And he did. INTO THE FUCKING SKY! "Did he just kick the ball into space?" Scootaloo asked. "I don't think it's in space." Goten said. "And what makes you say that?" Snips sneered. The ball crash landed in the field goal, putting a tiny dent in the ground. Surprisingly, it was still intact. "That." Goten said. *** Goten was in the hallway in front of the trophy collection. He was looking at the awards section. There was a trophy of him kicking a ball in a soccer uniform with all his might. "Huh. That was easy." Goten said. *** Now it was Gohan's turn... "We're going to play baseball, YEAH!" Bulk Biceps yelled. Gohan was first to bat. "Uh... You know that side of the plate is for lefties, right?" Bulk Biceps asked. "My good hand is my left hand, sir." Gohan said. "Well... Okay then." Biceps said. Flash Sentry threw the ball at Gohan... And it hit him right smack in the face. "Oh jeez, are you alright!?" Flash called. "Yeah, why?" Gohan asked. "Y-You were hit square in the face with a baseball!?" Rainbow Dash asked. "I thought I was supposed to?" Gohan asked. "You were supposed to hit the ball with the bat, YEAH!" Biceps yelled. "Oh." Gohan said. *** Now he was in the field, and he was CLEARLY instructed on how to play. So, he was waiting for that ball to fly. CRACK! The ball was high up. "A HOME RUN, YEAH!" Biceps yelled. Gohan fucking jumped high into the sky and caught it with his mitt. Everyone was shocked. Did I say shocked? I mean fucking shocked on steroids. And he landed gently. "How!?" Everyone asked. "He's that kid from the Friendship Games." Sunset said. "No wonder he's so good at this!" Bulk Biceps yelled. *** Gohan was batting again, and again, he was GOING to hit the ball. Applejack chucked that ball as hard as she could at Gohan. Gohan swung his bat... The ball was sent flying! And flying... And flying... Flying... "Oh look. It's gone." Gohan said. He tried looking for it with his expert sight, but it was just gone. Everyone, again, looked in utter shock. Well, the Humane 7 at this point weren't. *** Gohan was pitching! Rainbow Dash as the catcher, and Pinkie was up to bat. She was swinging it like crazy in preparation. "Hey! Do it as hard as you can!" Sunset yelled from the benches. "Are you sure!?" Gohan asked. "Go for it!" Rainbow Dash and Pinkie yelled. Gohan grinned as he turned Super Saiyan and wound up his arm. "WAIT GOHAN NO!" The group yelled. Too late, Gohan hurled that thing so hard it had it's own damn yellow aura. "TOO MUCH!" Rainbow Dash yelled as she tried catching the ball in the mitt. An explosion happened after the mitt touched the ball. "Crapbaskets!" Gohan yelled as he reverted back to base form and ran to the damage. "I'm okay!" Rainbow Dash yelled from the smoke that eventually died down. The ball was in the half burned mitt off of Rainbow Dash's hand. Speaking of whom, she was on the ground covered in muck. "S-Sorry..." Gohan said. "Don't sweat it! It only hurts a lot..." Rainbow Dash said. "Did that kid just turn blond all of a sudden?" Bulk Biceps asked. "I'm just as confused as you." Flash said. *** Now Fluttershy was the catcher. Rainbow Dash was on the bench with an ice pack. "Do it as slow as you can, okay!?" Sunset yelled. "Okay!" Gohan said. Gohan slowly wound up his arm, and lightly, and I mean very lightly threw the ball. ... Boy, I really meant lightly. The ball was moving .002 mile a day... And was still floating and spinning. It slowly trekked along the empty space. Everyone else fell on their back in an aneurysm. Gohan chuckled awkwardly. It took the rest of the period for the ball to even make it a tenth of the way... *** Gohan and Goten stood in front of the awards mirror. Now it was Gohan with a fucking trophy of his smashing a baseball with all his might with a bat. "You too, huh?" Goten asked. Gohan sighed. "Yep." He said. *** "Lunchtime!" Gohan exclaimed in the lunchroom. "Yay!" Goten said. The two grabbed a lunch tray and jam packed it! Three entrees, three desserts, three cartons of milk, three- Everything, okay? They sat down with the Humane 7. "So, how's your first day?" Sunset asked, sitting next to Gohan. "It's alright." Gohan said. "You made a ball perpetually move in mid air at the slowest pace possible! It still hasn't reached the plate yet!" Twilight said. "I heard Goten kicked a ball into the sky and it came back the other way." Applejack said. "How?" Goten asked. "Applebloom, my sister." Applejack said. "Coach Biceps was very happy with you two." Rainbow Dash said. "He didn't seem happy. Just surprised." Goten said. "No, he's happy. If you go past expectations, you'll get an A, guaranteed." Rainbow Dash said. "Is that why we suddenly all got As in his class?" Sunset asked. "Yeah, Gohan's training." Rainbow Dash said. "Speaking of whom, are you two going to live with just that?" Sunset asked. "I can live! My stomach isn't as big as his!" Goten said. "I can live, even though it's not enough. Next time I should pack us lunches..." Gohan said. "Let's dig in!" Goten said. The two brothers started wolfing their meals down. Gohan grabbed three apples at once and ate it all. Goten ate the fruit bowl quickly. "And the competition starts!" Pinkie yelled. "Shall we commentate?" Rarity asked. Gohan stopped for a moment. "No." He said before eating again. *** And that concludes day 1. The next morning... *** Gohan and Goten came through the portal with huge red tied cloths packed with stuff. The Humane 7 were all waiting. "So, how many books did you bring?" Twilight asked. "Books?" Gohan and Goten asked. "Isn't that what those huge red bags are full of?" Pinkie asked. "It's just lunch." Gohan said. "You packed yourselves lunches THAT big!?" Twilight asked. "You'll wipe out half a civilization with all the food you two eat in a day!" Applejack said. "That's an understatement, Applejack." Twilight said. *** I'm not going to do more unless it's an important event. And also, I know that's not how school works, but whatever. Spike having to challenge other dragons, heh. Gohan and Goten were a great use for that. *** "You need us to go with you to the Dragon Lands?" Gohan asked. Twilight, Rarity and Spike were visiting. They were outside his and Goten's little house. "Yeah, I need to get there!" Spike said as he scratched himself. "And we do need the protection." Rarity said. "Hey Goten! We're going to see dragons!" Gohan said. "Ooh! Ooh! I'm coming!" Goten yelled as he ran to Gohan. "Last time I beat up a few dragons." Gohan said. *** Well, now they're in the Dragon Lands. Twilight and Rarity were disguised as a rock while Gohan and Goten just hid. It wasn't a problem if they were caught, they couldn't be caught anyway. Spike was sitting on top of the 'rock.' The dragons from before, specifically Garble and his goons were coming. "Oh look! It's Sparkle Warkle!" Garble said. "Its Spike?" Spike said. "Are you sure your pony friends didn't give you a pony name?" Garble said. "Not all my friends are ponies. Some of them are aliens." Spike said. "Like that last guy who beat us up!? He's in for it the next time I see him!" Garble yelled. "Well, it was nice to see you too." Spike said. "I didn't say it was nice to see you! I don't like you." Garble said, shoving Spike off the rock. He sat on it himself, crushing the ponies inside. "Hey! That's my rock!" Spike yelled. "Then why aren't you sitting on it?" Garble taunted. Well, Gohan came in handy. Used ki to push him off. And used telepathy to get Spike on. "Hey, what the heck?" Garble asked. "See? Nature agrees with me." Spike said with a smirk. Then, the Dragon Lord, Torch emerged! 'He's not that powerful...' Gohan and Goten thought. "Dragons of Equestria, HEAR ME! I have been Dragon Lord for longer than many of you can remember! And my reign has been extraordinary!" Torch called. ... "AGREE WITH ME!" He demanded. The dragons all cheered from there. "Torch! Torch! Torch!" They all cheered. Then he got them to stop. "Who is that?" Spike asked. "It's Dragon Lord Torch, dummy." Garble said. "No, who is that next to him?" Spike asked. There's a smaller dragon next to Torch. "That's his daughter, Princess Ember. I wouldn't even look at her if I were you. Unless you want Torch to EAT you." Garble said. Spike gulped in fear. Gohan managed to move closer to Spike unnoticed. "He can't hurt you with us around." He whispered. Then he scooted back to where he was. "This is fascinating! Dragons are notoriously reckless, but they do whatever the Dragon Lord says!" Twilight said. "Unfortunately..." Torch called. "According to Dragon Law, it is time for me to step down! Sad, I know." He said. ... "BE SAD!" He yelled. The dragons all 'cried.' "This is why I have summoned you. To compete for the throne, in the Goblet of Fire!" Torch called. The dragons cheered. "Why are we doing this again?" Goten whispered. "Spike was glowing and he was summoned here by that dragon." Gohan whispered, pointing at Torch. "He doesn't seem all that strong to me." Goten said. "To everyone else, he is." Gohan said. "Plus, his power level's a little close to yours~." He sneered. "Yeah, but I'm still stronger!" Goten said. "Maybe it'll be even if you didn't go Super Saiyan." Gohan said. "Whomever has the strength and fortitude to retrieve this bloodstone scepter from the heart of the flame-cano will be crowned Lord of the Dragons!" Torch called, flinging said scepter into a volcano or something. There was an explosion, and the dragons were no longer glowing as a result. "When the scepter disappeared, the dragons stopped glowing! We are learning so much!" Twilight whispered, writing down notes. Rarity JUST happened to sneeze. "Uh... Excuse me." Spike said. "Ugh! You even sneeze like a pony!" Garble said. "The Gauntlet is dangerous, for I designed it myself! Only dragons with my ferocity, strength, and determination will be able to finish. We will gather at the cliff when the sun is at its peak!" Torch called. The dragons cheered. "I don't want to be Dragon Lord or dragon toast, and I stopped glowing, so let's sneak out of here!" Spike whispered. "Now hold on, Spike. This could be interesting." Gohan said. "Did you hear what I said?" Spike whispered. "And do you know who you're with?" Gohan asked. "Good point. But still." Spike whispered, starting to walk away. Torch noticed. "Where do you think YOU'RE going, little dragon!?" He called. Every other dragon stepped away from Spike. Luckily, Gohan and Goten were deep within the crevices of the rocks. "Oh, uh... Hiya Lordship! Uh... I was just going home!" Spike said. Torch lowered his head to Spike. "You don't get to leave unless I SAY you can!" He said. Ember landed beside Spike. "Dad, look at him. He's just a runt. Besides, he doesn't even want to compete. Let him go." She said, doing the shoo gesture. "He is rather tiny, heheh, I could squish him with my pinky claw!" Torch called. Spike chuckled nervously. "That wasn't a joke, it was a fact. When I want you to laugh, I will say, BE AMUSED!" Torch yelled. "Of course your Lordship! I guess I don't understand dragon customs! Another reason why I shouldn't compete." Spike said. "Very well, little dragon. I release you." Torch said. "Thank you! And thank you!" Spike said, pointing at Ember. Ember rolled her eyes. Spike started moving the 'rock' away. Ember flew towards the gauntlet, but her father caught her. "Where do you think YOU'RE going!?" He asked. "To prepare for the gauntlet." Ember said. "No you're not, you're not much bigger than that runt I just sent home!" Torch said. "But I'm smarter than most of these boulderheads and you know it!" Ember complained. "Being smart won't help you win this gauntlet, it was designed for a BIG, STRONG dragon to win, because it takes a big, strong dragon, TO LEAD! Besides... I SAID NO!" Torch yelled, blowing Ember away a few feet. "Ugh! I hate when he does that!" Ember said, flying away. The dragons were all talking to each other now. They were talking about what they would do when they win. And since Garble wants to get revenge on Gohan... He's gonna destroy Equestria. Equestria would be in danger if any of them won, actually. Spike was convinced that he had to compete! Well, they hadn't thought of Gohan and Goten just defending it. Like usual. *** The Gaunlet of Fire began! Spike started swimming towards Flame-cano Island! And Gohan was swimming him from underwater. So he was faster than the flyers. Goten was swimming the ponies with a barrier for oxygen, so unique perk that was. "How is that little shrimp swimming faster than we can fly!?" Garble asked. Spike was even avoiding all the Sea Monsters. But then, some dragon was knocked out of the sky! "He's gonna drown! Get him, Gohan!" Spike yelled. Gohan nodded slowly and he dove deep to grab said dragon. *** The five all waited for the dragon to regain consciousness on the island. Twilight and Rarity were hidden in seaweed while Gohan and Goten hid behind a rock. Spike removed the helmet to reveal... Ember? She coughed out water. "Princess Ember!" Spike said. "What do you think YOU'RE doing?" Ember sneered as she got up. "Only saving YOUR scales!" Rarity said, blowing her cover. "Did that seaweed just talk?" Ember asked as she walked over to the seaweed. She revealed the two ponies. "Ponies!? What are they doing here!?" Ember asked. "They're my friends! And you can come out, Gohan!" Spike said. Gohan and Goten stepped out. "Am I seeing two monkeys? And friends? Dragons don't DO friends." Ember said. "Well, this dragon does!" Spike said with pride. "Whatever. I don't care. As long as NONE of you get in my way. I have a gaunlet to win." Ember said, taking her helmet. "But your dad said-" "-I don't care about what my dad said! I'll show him and every dragon who thinks I'm just a little princess there are better things than being big and strong!" Ember interrupted. Gohan chuckled. Garble was flying overhead, and saw... The ponies and the Saiyans. Ooh... Did those Saiyans get his blood boiling. He dove down for them. "Incoming!" Gohan yelled. "I'll get you you stupid monkey!" Garble yelled. Ember quickly got her helmet on, while Spike cowered behind Gohan. Garble landed nearby. "It's time for payback, shrimp!" Garble yelled. "Hey buddy, guess what?" Gohan asked. "What?" Garble asked. "I was never here to begin with." Gohan said grimly, before instantly punching him in the face, temporarily blinding him with pain. "Ow, WHAT THE HECK!" Garble yelled. Ember was incredibly surprised by the speed and strength of the Saiyan. "Quick, lets hide!" Gohan whispered to his brother and the ponies. Twilight and Rarity just got the seaweed back on. As Garble finally got his sight back, he looked to see... Just Spike and Ember. "What the- Where did that monkey go!?" Garble asked. "What monkey? You just landed and fell over." Spike said. "Uh... Yeah, uh... You just dropped dead, man." Ember said in a 'man' voice. "What?... Gr... I smell ponies." Garble said, sniffing around. He sniffed Spike. "No, you're not the smell..." He said. Garble got REALLY close to the ponies, sniffing the seaweed! Ember swooped in. "Uh, yeah, it's me! I robbed a few ponies before I got here!" Ember said, stepping between him and the ponies. "Nice! I like your style. Have I met you before? You kind of look like..." Garble said. "My old neighbor! Uh, Sandy... Rockbeach!" Spike lied. "I've wasted enough time making small talk. Get it? Haha! Because you're too small to win this! I'm funny." Garble said, flying away. Ember took off her helmet, and the Saiyans stepped out again. "Okay, two questions. One, how did YOU knock a dragon down so quickly, and two, why did you cover for me? You could've had one less competitor." Ember said. "Don't underestimate Gohan. He's small, but he could've killed Garble back there!" Spike said. "Nobody THAT small can kill a dragon." Ember said. "Last time I broke his arm. Size doesn't matter, Ember. Look at my brother. He's six, and already stronger than everyone on this planet. Besides me, of course." Gohan said. "He isn't stronger than my dad, and neither are you." Ember said. "You DON'T want to challenge Gohan." Twilight warned. "That's enough. Just go, we have a competition to win." Gohan ended. "Why don't we help Ember?" Goten asked. "Me? Use YOUR help?" Ember asked. "Just look!" Goten said, pointing at the sky. Boulders were beings hurled, and many dragons fell. "Yikes. I guess that's what makes it a challenge..." Ember said. "Challenge?" Goten asked. "For them it's harder, Goten." Gohan said. "Oh." "Hm... I don't know..." Ember said. "It would be a good idea. We both trust each other, and having two superheroes help us win would be awesome!" Spike said. "Are you sure about this, Spike?" Twilight asked. "She could've spilled the beans about you with Garble, but didn't. Besides, Gohan and Goten'll keep her in check." Spike said. "I guess I'll join you." Ember said. "Great!" Spike said, gesturing for a handshake. Ember hesitantly shook his tiny claw. "Just so you know, this doesn't mean we're gonna pick flowers or exchange necklaces or whatever pony friends do." Ember said. "Good luck, we'll meet you at the top!" Twilight said. "I'll trail behind. Maybe destroy some boulders for them. Could be fun." Gohan said. "Okay, get on, then." Ember said. Spike got a piggyback ride from Ember. "You too, monkey." Ember said. "What? I can fly myself, and stay under the radar. Also, I weigh over 4 tons." Gohan said. "You're too small to be 4 tons and you don't have wings, dummy." Ember said. Gohan started flying. "I'm flying." He said. "Uh...?" Ember asked. "It's a trick!" Goten said as he flew beside Gohan. *** The four started flying up. The slingtails were large in number. They were hurling boulders like crazy! Ember was struggling to dodge. Luckily, Spike being her second pair of eyes, spotted the ones from behind. "Pull up, there's one on your tail!" He yelled. Ember was able to dodge that one. "Left!" Spike said. Ember moved out of the way. Then, four boulders were hurled at them all at once! "What do we do!?" Ember asked. Suddenly, they were all destroyed. Ember looked around in surprise. "Down here." Gohan said from below. He and Goten had destroyed them with ki blasts. "There's another on your tail!" Spike yelled. They all traveled further up the mountain. Then they landed near a cave. Spike jumped off of Ember, while Gohan and Goten hid. "So, what now?" Spike asked. "I think we go through there." Ember said, pointing at the cave. A few dragons got roasted in there. The flames were that powerful... Ember and Spike were worried. Then the two ponies happened to show up... as a tree... "Oh, that looks scary! I mean, you can do it!" Rarity reassured. "Listen, Spike. I wouldn't have made it this far without you. So I guess, if you want to, we could keep working together. I mean, just until we get through that tunnel." Ember said. "Okay!" Spike said "Don't worry guys. If we go in as soon as the cave breathes fire, I can set up a barrier for us to walk through it. Well, Goten can do it too." Gohan said. "Really? What kind of monkey are you!?" Ember asked. "I'm not even a monkey." Gohan said. "But you have a tail..." Ember said. "Saiyan biology." Gohan said. "Let's just go." Spike said, running in the cave with Ember. "We'll be right behind you!" Twilight whispered. "Just don't die, Twilight." Gohan said. *** The four traversed the cave. Well, two were hidden, but still traveled. Their first obstacle was a spikey cruncher. And boy, were those dragons suffering. "It's almost impossible to pass through!" Ember said. "Oh no it's not. Grab onto me." Gohan said, putting two fingers to his forehead. "What? Why?" Ember whispered. "He's gonna teleport us there." Spike said, putting a hand on Gohan. Ember reluctantly put her hand on his shoulder. And they instantly popped to the other side. Gohan and Goten quickly hid once more. "H-How did he...?" Ember asked. "Save the questions for later." Spike said. Garble was about to pass through, but was caught in between the not sharp parts of the cruncher. He saw Spike and Ember traversing further, and he managed to get out. The next obstacle was a bunch of crystal shards trying to stab them. Ember and Spike managed to pass through unharmed... But Spiked noticed one about to stab Ember from above! He quickly rammed himself into Ember to move her out of the way. Luckily, the shard missed. The two continued. Garble was following, but he was quickly stabbed by a shard. Or, rammed into the wall. The two teammates were near the end. Twilight and Rarity were disguised as rocks now. "Oh, you made it! Oh, we were so worried!" Rarity said. "About us?" Spike asked before scoffing. "It was a piece of cake!" He said. But he got dizzy and collapsed. "Wait... How did you two get here?" Ember asked. And then the ground shook, causing Rarity to almost trip over. She was almost going to fall off the edge! "Rarity!" Spike yelled as he dashed in, and grabbed her before she fell. A lava geyser just happened to blow up at that moment, narrowly missing her. "Oh thank you Spike!" Rarity said. "Oh, it was nothing." Spike said humbly. "Nothing? You just risked your life to save her, and they're putting their lives in danger JUST to support you!" Ember said. "Well, that's what friends do. Don't you have anybody that looks out for you?" Spike asked. "N-Not really... Unless I count you... Which I don't." Ember said. "Because we were only helping each other get through the tunnel, and now we're through the tunnel. So... That's it." She said. "Wait... What do you mean?" Spike asked. "Well, there's only one winner, one scepter, and ONE dragon lord! So, I guess it's every dragon for themselves." Ember said. Spike was hurt. "Oh... So... We aren't really friends?" He asked. "Maybe if we were in Ponyland, but, like I said, dragons don't DO friendship." Ember said, flying away. "Don't worry, you still have us!" Gohan said. "You're better off. She only thinks for herself. She's just like all the other dragons." Rarity said. "She's not though, I know it! She saved me, even when she didn't have to!" Spike said. "I don't care what she says, that makes us friends!" He said, darting off towards the scepter. *** "We made it!" Spike said. They saw the scepter. "We flew through every hole for you, obviously we made it." Gohan said from a rock. "I can't believe I'm the only dragon to make it this far!" Spike said. "You're not!" Garble yelled from behind. "And I'm not losing to a puny pony-loving dragon like you!" He said, grabbed Spike by his green scales. They were on a small part of the ground, and if he dropped Spike, he would fall into sharp spikes! "We have to do something!" Rarity said. "I think someone will." Gohan said. "What do you mean!?" Twilight asked. Ember came crashing in, ramming into Garble! He dropped Spike, though. Garble smashed into the 'rocks.' And she saved Spike from dying a second time. "Ember! I thought it was every dragon for themselves! Why did you save me?!" Spike asked as they landed on the ground. "That's what friends do! And I am. I mean, we are. I never should have left you back there. Agh, please don't make me talk about my feelings!" Ember said. "What the!?" Garble asked as he saw the ponies. The two started inching backwards. "That's enough!" Gohan said as he he flew in front of Garble. "You! You dirty litt-" Garble said before he was punched in the stomach. He was then kicked to the side, smashing into a boulder. "Spike, get the scepter!" Ember yelled as she flew at Garble to restrain him for good. Spike started darting towards the scepter. Ember tried holding Garble down, but he broke free and flew after Spike. ...And then he was kicked in the side by Goten. Back to another rock. "Why!? Dragons don't do helping!" Garble yelled. "These dragons do!" Ember yelled as she held Garble down again. Spike grabbed the scepter! And it created a giant red shockwave, attracting all the other dragons. The ponies were put into costume again, and the Saiyans hid. "H-He has the scepter!?" Garble asked. "Yes." Ember said as she unrestrained Garble. "Dragon Lord Spike." She added. Garble was going to attack her again... "Stop!" The new dragon lord called. "You have to obey me." Spike said. "B-But you cheated! With the monkeys and ponies!" Garble yelled. "Every dragon for themself, Garble." Ember said. "Gr... Oh, dang it. Dragon Lord Spike..." Garble said as he knelt for the new one. The incoming dragons all knelt as well. "You won't get away with this!" Garble yelled as he flew away. Spike jumped down to Ember. "Dragon Lord Spike. Hm! Has a nice ring to it." Ember said. "Dragon Lord Ember." Spike said as he put the scepter in her hands. "Sounds a lot better." He said. "What!? No, you're the dragon lord now." Ember said. "The dragon lord is whoever brings the scepter back to your father. Besides, you'll make a great leader. I was just doing this to protect the ponies. But I know you'll protect them just as well as I would've." Spike said. "You sure about this?" Ember asked. "Absolutely. My home is in Equestria, with my friends." Spike said. "Well, you'll have at least one friend here too." Ember said. Spike gave her a hug. "What are you doing?" Ember asked. "It's CALLED a hug!" Spike said. "Oh, uh... I don't know if I like it, but... Okay." Ember said. Spike hugged even tighter, and she blushed. Ooh~. *** "Dragon Lord Torch!" Garble yelled from afar. He flew right near his face. "You may speak." Torch said. "You see..." Garble said, before a bright red light shone from the sky. It was Ember and the scepter. She was bringing it back. "Ember!? YOU!?" Torch asked. "I know you didn't think I could do it, but I did." Ember said. "I expressly told you not to do it, because you're not-" "I'm not big and strong." Ember interrupted. "I know. But you know what? I won anyway. So maybe it takes more than just being big and strong to be a good Dragon Lord!" Ember said. Torch thought about it... "I was wrong, Ember. You might not be big, but you are strong and smart, and perhaps that counts for more than I thought. And you will make an excellent leader." Torch said. "Thanks, dad." Ember said. "Dragon Lord Torch!" Garble said. "What is it!? I'm having a moment with my daughter here!" Torch yelled. "I think this is important. She cheated!" Garble said, pointing a finger at Ember. "What!?" Torch asked. "She teamed up with some monkeys and ponies and that little wimp Spike!" Garble said. "PONIES!?" Torch asked. "Dad, it's not true!" Ember said. "Oh really? Then let's check." Garble said, flying down to Spike and the 'rocks.' "These are my rocks!" Spike yelled as he defended them. Garble smacked him away and revealed the ponies! "WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS!?" Torch yelled. "Dad, it's every dragon for themselves. You never said I couldn't get help." Ember said. "That is true... But! I will squash these ponies anyway!" Torch yelled. "No! You can't!" Spike yelled. "Please, dad, don't!" Ember yelled. "Too late!" Torch yelled as he reached over and was about to squash them with his pinky claw! Rarity screamed high pitch... And Torch's finger stopped! But the screaming was still going. "What is this!?" Torch yelled as he removed his claw. It was Gohan and Goten! "That's them! Those are the monkeys!" Garble yelled. "Dragon Lord Torch! You will not be harming my friends ever!" Gohan yelled. "Yeah right, Torch'll put you in your place!" Garble yelled. "Dad, you can't! They're my friends!" Ember said. "Dragons don't DO friends!" Torch yelled. "I'll take care of the ponies and monkeys, then you are the new Dragon Lord!" He said. "Goten, protect Twilight and Rarity." Gohan said. "Hey! You fought the big guy last time! I want a turn!" Goten said. "Oh, right. Yeah, you go, I'll defend Twilight and Rarity." Gohan said, jumping to their side. "Torch!" Goten yelled as he flew up. "This is your last chance. I don't want to hurt you. Let us go, and you won't regret dealing with me." He said. Torch started laughing. "You? Hurt me!? Hah!" Torch yelled. Ember flew to Goten. "You're going to kill yourself!" She whispered. "Trust me. I can take him." Goten said. "Ember, get back here! Your father will take care of this." Torch said. Ember reluctantly flew to her father's side. "Now you listen here, monkey. I will fry you instead of squishing you if you dare fight me!" Torch yelled. "Why don't you try?" Goten asked. "What was that!?" Torch asked. Ember was clearly fearful for Goten. "Unless you want me to throw the first punch." Gohan said with a smirk. "Pfft. Like YOU could hurt me." Torch said. "Is that a 'Yes?'" Goten asked. "Yeah." Torch said. Goten flew at Torch and smashed his fist into his cheek. It left a mark, and "Ouch. That did hurt." Torch said, rubbing his cheek. "Now, please let us leave." Goten said. "Oh, but I can't, you see. It's YOUR turn! Haha!" Torch yelled before he breathed hot flames on Goten. (His power level's like, 200,000,000. Goten's more of a 230,000,000 or something.) 'Why didn't he dodge it!?' Ember thought. "Hah! That's what your monkey friend gets, Spike!" Garble said. "I wouldn't have an early victory if I were you." Spike said. Torch stopped his fire. "There. That shou- WHAT!?" Torch asked. Goten was still standing. Unfazed, too. Ember was surprised! "H-How!?" Torch, Garble and Ember asked. "I just moved the flames away with my energy!" Goten said. "Take this!" Torch yelled as he threw his giant claws at Goten. Goten dodged by flying upward, and he planted another punch on Torch's nose. He was bleeding a bit! Torch was left in shock. In a fit of rage, he started to slash everywhere. Goten narrowly dodged all but one. Torch managed to cut his orange shirt with one claw. "Uh oh." Goten said. "Haha! He's done for!" Garble boasted. "My brother is stronger than you think, buddy." Gohan said. "I can take YOU right now, now that I think about it!" Garble said. Gohan sighed. "You can't do anything." He said. "Why you!" Garble yelled as he charged at Gohan. Torch threw a fist, and Goten blocked with his hands. The two were struggling to push each other back, going back and forth. Goten had enough, and quickly turned into a Super Saiyan. He instantly tossed Torch's fist back to him. "What!?" Torch asked, trying to recover quickly. Goten started to rush Torch, punching and kicking and performing double axe handles on multiple parts of his body. Torch felt enormous pain. "Argh! What the heck is this!" He asked as he was getting beaten up. Garble was trying to charge at Gohan, but he kept getting pushed back by ki. Twilight took down notes. "Dragons are not as bright as we think. Trial and error clearly not present." She wrote. Goten ended his assault, and Torch could barely stand at this point. There were multiple marks on his body. Ember was surprised even more. Goten just beat him up like it was nothing in an instant. Goten flew to Torch's face. "Seriously, this is your last chance. I won't stop unless you let us go!" Goten said. "Dad, stop it!" Ember said. "Hush, Ember." Torch said. "No, dad! You'll kill yourself at this rate!" Ember said. "Dragon Lord Torch, kill him already!" Garble yelled as he was pushed back by ki. "He can't, don't you get it?" Spike asked. "What?" Garble asked. "Goten's in an entirely different league." Spike said. "And he has a brother who's even stronger." Twilight said. "Me." Gohan said. "You are still holding back on me?" Torch asked. "I'm not using my full power in this form." Goten said. "Dad, please. He won't hurt any of us." Ember said, realizing Goten's monstrous strength. She could feel his Super Saiyan aura. Torch was not happy about surrendering to a tiny monkey... "Fine. You may leave with your pony friends." Torch said. Goten smiled and reverted back to base form. "Thank you, my lord." He said, flying down to his friends. "Lord? He respects me enough to say lord? He's not that bad, he isn't." Torch said. "He's our friend." Ember said. "What!? How!?" Garble asked. "Push-ups, sit-ups, and plenty of milk and/or juice." Gohan said. "Did you see me, big brother?" Goten asked. "You were pretty awesome out there." Gohan said, smiling. Ember flew down to Gohan. "I underestimated you." She said. "Everyone does." Spike said. "I won't let the Dragon Lands fall to any enemy. Get me if nobody can fight it. Or my brother, he's just as strong." Gohan said. "I suppose we can come to a truce with the ponies. And the monkeys." Ember said. "We're not monkeys. There are only two of us on this planet. We're Saiyans/humans. Don't worry about it too much." Gohan said. "Okay. It was great to see you. Come visit sometime! I'll make sure nobody eats you. Or you will, actually." Ember said. "Great!" Twilight said. "Now, let's get home and fix your gi, Goten." Rarity said. Goten looked down at his gi. "Yeah, I got it cut." He said. *** Gohan spent Hearth's Waming in the human world again. This time, with Goten. And he made sure of one thing. You will see. *** So it was Hearth's Warming again, and again, Gohan was invited to the human world along with Goten. Gohan made a request which the Humane 7 agreed to. Now, the Humane 7 were all waiting outside the portal... Again. It became a part of their lives at this point. Then the two Saiyans came through the portal, with sacks. "So, you brought another sack of stuff?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Sure did. Even Goten did." Gohan said. "Yay!" Goten and Pinkie yelled. "He took a lot of time and effort to get his gifts for you all." Gohan said. "And for you too, big brother!" Goten said. "Me?" Gohan asked, pointing at himself in confusion. "Uh huh!" Goten said. "Aw!" Everyone else said. Gohan smiled. "Thanks, Goten." He said. "Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go!" Pinkie said. *** They were in Pinkie's room... Again. And she ordered double the amount of pizza as last time. But enough about that, it was Hearth's Warming Eve slumber party time! Goten's first with them. Not in general. The Saiyans left their individual presents in the corner. The girls got into pajamas and started doing things like take selfies, go on the laptop and other social media things. Spike... He and Fluttershy were getting along real nicely. With ear scratches and stuff. Gohan and Goten just did Image Training until the girls suggested they do something. How did they do it...? They sat crisscross, put their hands on their legs and sat up straight while closing their eyes. They managed to connect their minds. It was a favorite pastime of theirs, since in Equestria they were usually suckered into parties like this with the Mane 6 and CMC. I guess I'll go into detail for you... The battlefield was just a never ending terrain of flat silver tiles. Gohan and Goten were going at it. Goten had trouble dealing with Gohan. Whenever Goten grew tired in his assaults, and he became slower in movements, Gohan punished by rushing him at those moments with multiple stomach pummels. Gohan wanted him to adapt. And in this training, he did. Goten started to threw multiple punches at Gohan, not giving him an inch. But, this time, he slowed down on purpose during the assault without tiring out. Gohan took this as an opportunity, and threw a punch. Goten moved back fast enough to dodge Gohan's attack and grab his fist with both hands. He swung Gohan around and tossed him to the side. Gohan was sent flying... And he put two fingers to his head. He instantly appeared behind Goten. Goten had no time to react as he turned around. He was instantly met with a powerful kick. "Hey! You two!" Rainbow Dash yelled, snapping them out of their little imaginary battle. "Yeah?" Gohan asked, turning his head to the side. "What are you two doing?" Applejack asked. "Is this like a group meditation?" Twilight asked. "No, its Image Training!" Goten said. "Image Training?" Everyone else asked. "It's basically intertwining two or more minds together in an imaginary battlefield. We train this way when we go to slumber parties and we're not doing much." Gohan said. "What's the point of Image Training? That doesn't help you get stronger." Rainbow Dash said. "On the contrary." Gohan said. "Image Training can help you perfect techniques and fighting styles! You can adapt while Image Training too!" Goten said cheerfully. "Goten adapted against a new flaw of his just now." Gohan said. "Can you teach us?" Fluttershy asked. "Later." Gohan said. "Well, we were gonna start games!" Pinkie said cheerfully. "Pinkie." A depressing voice came from the door. It was Maud Pie. Holding a shit ton of pizza. "Your pizza's here." She said. "Who's that?" Goten asked. "Maud! Thanks sis!" Pinkie said cheerfully, hugging Maud. "Her sister doesn't have as much energy as her." Goten said. "I can't believe she's even related to Pinkie." Sunset said. "The grease is dripping on my feet." Maud said. "Well, maybe the games could hold off for now..." Rarity said. *** After Gohan and Goten wolfed down like, 95% of the pizza, game time. Last time Gohan just went to bed before that. "Truth or dare~!" Pinkie yelled. "Don't make me or Goten do stupid things." Gohan said. "No promises." Pinkie said. "We'll make sure you don't do something disgusting or whatnot." Sunset said. "Thank you." Gohan said. Everyone got in a circle and sat down. "Rainbow Dash starts!" Pinkie said. "Alright! Now Gohan, Truth or dare?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Dare?" Gohan asked. "I dare you to punch yourself in the face as hard as you can WITHOUT hurting yourself." Rainbow Dash said. "That's impossible!" Twilight said. "Yeah! How's he gonna do that?" Spike asked. "Oh, don't worry, I know." Gohan said. "Oh! I get it!" Goten said. "What's he gonna do?" Pinkie asked. Gohan stood up, crossed his arms and bent his knees. He performed the Multi-Form technique. He made two of himself. One of them turned Super Saiyan. The base form Gohan smashed his fist into the Super Saiyan's face. "Oh. That's brilliant!" Rarity said. "You thought of that?" Fluttershy asked Rainbow Dash. "Yeah." Rainbow Dash said. "That was very smart." Fluttershy said. Gohan became one and sat down again. "Okay, Twilight, truth or dare?" Gohan asked. "Dare." Twilight said boldly. "Somebody's brave." Sunset said. "Does she not pick dare or something?" Gohan asked. "Yes." Everyone said. "I dare you to lift this." Gohan said, removing a single boot. "What!?" Twilight asked. "You're making her lift 1500 kilos!?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Trust me on this one, Twilight." Gohan said. Twilight took a deep breath before making the attempt! She grabbed the boot with both hands, and pulled as hard as she could! The grunting was loud. "Come on, Twilight. Put your energy into it!" Gohan said. Twilight strained even harder, and suddenly... The boot was actually off the ground. But Twilight's face was red. She kept trying... And the boot rose higher! "She's doing it!?" Sunset asked. "Amazing!" Rarity said. Gohan smiled. Twilight couldn't take it any more and dropped the boot. Goten swooped in and caught it with one hand before it crashed through the floors. Twilight was panting crazily, gasping for air. "You did AMAZEBALLS!" Pinkie yelled. "...Amazeballs?" Gohan asked as he put on his boot again. "It's a word she made up." Sunset said. Twilight sat down again. "You okay, Twilight?" Spike asked. "Yeah... I'll.... I'll be fine... I can't believe I did that!" Twilight said. "Your training has paid off, Twilight." Gohan said. "I see that! Exercise is more beneficial than I thought!" Twilight said. "Especially with Gohan as our teacher." Sunset said. "Okay, Pinkie, truth or dare?" Twilight asked. "Dare!" Pinkie said. "I dare you to make a tray of cupcakes to appear!" Twilight said. "You mean like this?" Pinkie asked, making a tray just appear in his lap. "I-I didn't even see you do it!" Twilight said. "I think she just put a tear in time and pulled it out of a previous or future time." Goten said. "Really!?" Everyone asked. "Pfft. I don't really know." Goten said. Pinkie started laughing nervously. "Y-Yeah!" She said. "Anyway... Sunny, truth or dare?" Pinkie asked. "Truth." Sunset said. "Do you have a crush~?" Pinkie asked. Sunset recoiled a bit and blushed. No, this isn't gonna be a truth or dare setup bullshit. Fuck off with that shit. "She does!" Rainbow Dash said. "Is that sunburn on your face or are you just blushing?" Gohan asked. "Hey!" Sunset retorted. "Sorry, sorry." Gohan said. "You have to admit, that was good." Goten said. "Uh huh." Everyone else said. "Ugh, yeah, I have a crush." Sunset said. "Well, who is it?" Gohan asked. "Hey, the question was to say if I had a crush, not to name him." Sunset said, crossing her arms. "Aw!" Pinkie said. "Oh well." Gohan said. "Anyway... Rainbow Dash, truth or dare?" Sunset asked. "Dare, obviously. I'm no wuss!" Rainbow Dash said. "I dare you to answer this: What are the contents of Pinkie's fridge?" Sunset asked. "Whipped cream. Too. Easy." Rainbow Dash said. "Dang." Sunset said. "Fluttershy, truth or dare?" Rainbow Dash asked. "T-Truth." Fluttershy said. "Who do you think is the strongest here? Excluding Gohan and Goten, they're like, the strongest in the universe." Rainbow Dash said. "Um... Hm..." Fluttershy said. She wanted to give the nicest answer possible. "I think we're all equally as strong..." Fluttershy said. "Oh come on, I want to know if you think I'm better or worse than everyone!" Rainbow Dash said. "To be honest, she's right." Gohan said. "Really?" Sunset asked. "I mean, your strengths are all the same. It all dwindles down to who has the better skill." Gohan said. "Well, I think we're all equally skilled." Fluttershy said. Rainbow Dash sighed. "I'll take it." She said. "Goten, truth or dare?" Fluttershy asked. "Truth!" Goten said. 'I better come up with a kids' question...' Fluttershy thought. "What was the scariest dream you ever had?" She asked. "Scariest dream... Well, I was like, 3 at the time. I was fishing!" Goten said. Everyone but Gohan imagined Goten by a riverside with a fishing pole. Gohan imagined Goten diving in and pounding the tuna. ...What? With Goku gone, Chi Chi needs someone to do it! "I caught the biggest fish ever! But then a little fishy came, and he devoured the entire Paozu tuna in one bite! I lost my catch!" Goten said. "Oh no!" Fluttershy said sympathetically. "Pfft, what a dream." Rainbow Dash mumbled. "I hope you never get a dream like that again..." Fluttershy said. "Same here!" Goten said. "Losing that precious Paozu tuna is hard. They're endangered, mostly because our family hunted them for food." Gohan said. "Applejack, truth or dare?" Goten asked. "Dare." Applejack said. "I dare you to try and lick your elbow!" Goten said. Childish, I know. "Well, I don't know if I can, but I'll try." Applejack said, trying in vain. Rainbow Dash started laughing at Applejack. "Come on, Rainbow. Be nice." Gohan said. "I can't do it!" Applejack said. "I said try. You did it!" Goten said. "Oh. Okay. Finally, Rarity, truth or dare?" Applejack asked. "Truth." Rarity said. "What do you really hope your parents never find out about?" Applejack asked. "That last Hearth's Warming, Sweetie Belle had six months of detention. They managed to believe that she went to a club EVERY single day!" Rarity said. "That happened to Applebloom too." Applejack said. "And Scoots." Rainbow Dash said. "They told Principal Celestia?" Gohan asked. "Yeah.... After we forced them to." Rainbow Dash said. "Oh. I guess my investigation went a bit too far..." Gohan said. "Well, you stayed up all night investigating JUST for me. Is that too far?" Sunset asked. "What are you all talking about?" Goten asked. "Oh, right, I never told you. To sum it up, Applebloom, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo were not happy that their sisters and sisterly figure weren't spending as much time with them as their friends. They started getting embarrassing photos of everyone and made it public. Everyone thought Sunset did it because some of the photos belonged to her." Gohan said. "But I didn't, and Gohan proved it!" Sunset said. "Yeah. In Cafeteria Court." Rainbow Dash joked. Everyone laughed. "Table 9, 7:00 AM." Gohan joked. Everyone laughed again. *** "PRESENTS!" Pinkie screamed. "Yay!" Goten exclaimed. 'The nostalgia...' Gohan thought. "Who wants hot cocoa!?" Pinkie asked, pulling exactly a tray of that out. Everyone reached for one cup. "Okay, let's do our gift exchange first." Sunset said. "Gift exchange?" Goten asked. "They do this for Christm- I mean, Hearth's Warming." Gohan said. "And Gohan was pulled into it!" Pinkie said. "Only because you guys said there would be one short." Gohan said. "Or... Maybe you wanted to give something to someone special?" Goten joked. "No, Goten." Gohan said. "Are you sure~?" Rainbow Dash sneered. "Yeah, I'm sure. I also got presents for everyone else, so this is just part of it. As an old friend once said: "Everyone is created equal, and everyone deserves the opportunity to suffer just as much as everyone else on this miserable planet."" Gohan said. He quoted Vegeta. "That... sounds really dark..." Twilight said. "I don't agree with the wording but it's essentially the same as everyone is equal." Gohan said. "True, true..." Sunset said. "Okay, gift exchange time!" Rainbow Dash said. Everyone started exchanging gifts. Rainbow Dash with Applejack, Twilight with Pinkie, Fluttershy with Rarity, and Gohan with Sunset. "Here you go." Rainbow Dash said, handing a present to Applejack. "Same to you." Applejack said, handing a present to Rainbow Dash. "Wait, you got me new cleats?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Yours are really worn out, RD." Applejack said. "Thanks!" Rainbow Dash said, with the exact same shoes she usually wears. Just better because they're new. "And you got me a new guide to fend off fruit bats from leaving the sanctuary? How'd you know that was happening?" Applejack asked. "I may or may not have used the bathroom to get a few apples..." Rainbow Dash said. "I've been trying for weeks, I thought I gonna have to give them more!" Applejack said. "Okay, my turn, my turn!" Pinkie yelled. Pinkie and Twilight exchanged their gifts. Pinkie took a dramatic deep breath. "YOU GOT ME A PLANNER!?" She asked in anger. Shit. "I-I thought you were losing your schedule! Especially with these past few weeks!" Twilight said. "HOW!?" Pinkie asked. "Well, to be honest, you planned fifteen parties recently and you only did eight of what was planned." Twilight said. "Yeah, you didn't party when Scoots was the MVP of the soccer game when you said you would." Rainbow Dash said. "It slipped my mi- Oh. I see. Thanks Twilight!" Pinkie said, smiling brightly again. "And you got me a... How did you even afford this!?" Twilight asked, lifting up her new portable telescope. "It's one of the most powerful out there!" She added. "It wasn't much! After 19 hours of doing things I was given that!" Pinkie said. "What kind of things?" Rainbow Dash asked. "It's a secret~!" Pinkie said. Everyone was afraid she did something really weird for it. Twilight looked out the window with her new gift. "I can see another planet! Oh wait... It's gone. Wait, it's back! And it's gone... What kind of a rotation pattern does this have?" She asked, putting her telescope down. Now it was Fluttershy and Rarity's turn. "Here you are..." Fluttershy said, handing her present over. "Thank you, darling. Here you go." Rarity said, handing her present over. Fluttershy got... "A-A little cape for Angel? How did you...?" Fluttershy asked. "He loves those plays, I saw one of them." Rarity said. "I'm sure Angel will love this." Fluttershy said. "And you got me a new sewing machine!? How generous of you!" Rarity said. Fluttershy smiled sheepishly. Now it was Gohan and Sunset's turn. Sunset got Gohan a... "A bag?" Gohan asked. It was a black backpack. Big enough to carry a lot of books, but not for lunch. "You never came to school with a bag, and your lunch is usually the thing you carry in those weirdly huge rags. I thought it would help you." Sunset said. "Wow. Thanks!" Gohan said. He put the bag aside and went inside his sack... And pulled out a huge fucking package of sunflower seeds. By huge, I mean huge. Like, 200,000 sunflower seeds. He dropped it in between him and Sunset. "What the heck is that!?" Rainbow Dash asked. Sunset inspected the package... "Sunflower seeds!? How did you know!?" Sunset asked. "It came to me in a dream!" Gohan said proudly. What was the dream...? *** Gohan was in a classroom with like, two other students in adidas tracksuits. There was a teacher up front with adidas pants, yellow adidas jacket, a ski mask, sunglasses and an ushanka. "Hello comrades! Welcome to another lesson! Today's lesson, semechki. Or, sunflower seeds if you are western spy." The teacher said in a Russian accent. 'Why am I even here?' Gohan thought. "Semechki is the infinite squat power of the slav... It's also good for your significant other if he or she is true slav! Or if someone likes sunflowers, I don't give shit." The teacher said. "Next lesson, what to tell your babushka if she asks you the question: "What would you like to eat?" You must remember these words, grind these words into your brain! Interrupt her mid sentence to say: "KOTLET! I want at least five kotlet! And seven blins!" And faster than you can say cheeki breeki chebureki..." If you know who's talking, you're fucking awesome. *** "What kind of a dream is that?" Sunset asked. "Hey, weird things are bound to happen in a dream if weird things happen in real life. I can go to the afterlife without dying." Gohan said. "Eh. I guess that's reasonable." Sunset said. "Since when do you like sunflower seeds?" Rarity asked. "Since forever. Even in Equestria! I mean, I have some in my bag!" Sunset said, reaching for her bag and pulling out a small package with a grandma on it. "See?" She asked. She put a hand inside it and took a seed and ate it. She spit out the bad part into the trash. "Now I have 200,000 more!" She said. "I hope you like it." Gohan said. "Obviously! This would last a person a few months! Or week in my case." Sunset said. "You really like them, don't you?" Rainbow Dash said. "Yeah, I do." Sunset said. "Great!" Gohan said. Applejack leaned into Sunset's ear. "You know, you really owe it to yourself to tell Gohan you're in love with him already..." She whispered. "I AM NOT!" Sunset retorted, blushing. "Not what?" Rainbow Dash asked. "It's a secret." Applejack snickered. "I guess we can't intrude on that." Gohan said. "I wanna give everyone my gift now!" Goten said. "Go ahead, Goten." Gohan said. "Yay!" Goten yelled as he jumped up to grab his sack. "I'm surprised you two are even able to get things for us..." Twilight said. "Gohan has a pretty high paying job." Rainbow Dash said. "It's how we can eat so much all the time, heheh." Gohan said. Goten came back. "I made you all wood carvings!" He said, handing the Humane 7 each a wooden doll of themself. "Wow! You made this?" Fluttershy asked. It looked pretty exact. "It's perfect!" Rarity said. Goten finally handed the last one to Pinkie. "Whee! Now I can fly while flying!" Pinkie said, flying her wooden self. "You even got the hair matched up!" Rainbow Dash said. "Did I do good?" Goten asked. "Yeah!" Everyone said. "And for Gohan..." Goten said, pulling out not a carving... But a paper. Gohan was shocked to see the paper... His face showed it. "What's wrong?" Sunset asked. Gohan smiled and began to tear up at it. It was a drawing... Well drawn, might he add. Of him, Goten, Chi Chi and Grandpa Ox... Chi Chi looked different than he thought, but her face remained the same. "You drew this, Goten...?" Gohan asked. "Yeah!" Goten said. "What is it?" Fluttershy asked. Gohan flipped the paper over to show everyone. "It's like a real photo of our family!" Gohan said. "Wow... That's... Amazing." Rainbow Dash said. "That's your mother... And your grandpa, I presume?" Rarity asked. "Yeah! I wanted to draw it because I wanted Gohan to see what it would be like if he was with us on Earth!" Goten said. "And I love it." Gohan said. "I guess Earth is nostalgic now, huh?" Sunset asked. "It definitely is... I still don't know where Mom is in Other World." Gohan said. "Yeah, she's still gone with dad." Goten said. Then he yawned. "I think Imma go to sleep now..." He said. "You sure? Presents aren't done yet, and you haven't gotten yours yet." Gohan said. "I get a present?" Goten asked. "He's just like you the last time you came!" Rainbow Dash said. "Yay!" Goten said. "We all chipped in for you..." Rarity said. "And got a few pointers from Gohan..." Applejack said. "So here it is!" Pinkie said, pulling out a... Bike! Out from under her bed... Goten looked in amazement. (He loves bicycles.) "H-How'd you hide that under there!? I thought we were going outside!" Rainbow Dash said. "I love it!" Goten said. It was green with a black seat and handle. "Can I ride it now!?" Goten asked Gohan. "You can do it." Gohan said. "Yay!" Goten said. Pinkie handed Goten the bicycle. "But go outside before you..." Twilight said before she was confused. Goten flew out the window riding the bike. "Why does this look so familiar?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Movies!" Pinkie said. "He rode the bike very far away... I hope he finds his way back." Fluttershy said. "That just means I'll have to raise my power level. Excuse me a moment..." Gohan said, powering up a bit. They saw a bit of yellow aura as he raised his power to 25%. "I always wonder why you keep your power so low." Rainbow Dash said. "Because there isn't a need to keep it at maximum all the time." Gohan said. "I guess that makes sense..." Fluttershy said. "My turn!" Gohan said, jumping to his sack. "What did you bring from Equestria this time?" Sunset asked. "Well, one of them is from the afterlife." Gohan said with a grin. "I wonder who's getting it?" Rainbow Dash said. "You'll see... And it'll be pretty obvious." Gohan said. "For Twilight..." Gohan said, pulling out a book on magic. "I know you really want to know all about it, so I got you a book." He said, handing it to Twilight. "Thanks!" Twilight said. "It's even from yourself." Gohan said. "What are- Oh! The Princess wrote this?" Twilight asked. "Yeah." Gohan said. "Oh! And uh, Cadence had a baby, right?" Gohan asked. "Uh... Yes." Twilight said. "This is a mobile for her." Gohan said, pulling out a Cloudsdale mobile. "I think Flurry would like it." He said. "I think she would too- Hey... How do you know her name?" Twilight asked. "I'm her godfather over there." Gohan said. "Y-You are!?" Twilight asked. "Well, shoot! She's in good hands!" Applejack said. "For Fluttershy..." Gohan said, pulling out a bear call. "What is it?" Fluttershy asked. "A bear's call." Gohan said. "A b-b-b-b-bear!?" Fluttershy asked. "Don't worry! The bear who comes will be nice. Unless you try to kill it, which you won't do." Gohan said. Fluttershy sighed. "That's a relief... Thank you, Gohan." She said. "It only works in the wild, so don't expect a bear to come by in town." Gohan said. Fluttershy snickered. "For Rarity..." Gohan said, pulling out... Nothing? He walked over to Rarity and put his hand on her head. He transferred knowledge into that there brain. "W-What did you give me?" Rarity asked. "The ability to perform the clothes beam!" Gohan said. "Clothes beam!?" Rarity asked. She aimed her hand at the ground. After a brief flash of light, some clothes appeared! Her traditional wear. She squealed. "Wow. You learned the clothes beam, Gohan?" Sunset asked. "From my old teacher! Also that's the gift from Other World." Gohan said. "Thank you!" Rarity said. "For Applejack..." Gohan said, pulling out gardening gloves. "Gloves? You knew mine are busted?" Applejack asked. "I've seen you farm before, yours are worse than busted. It's like challenging the Legendary Super Saiyan as my dad when he's 12. Gohan said. "Legendary Super Saiyan? I don't think I've heard of that before." Sunset said. "That's right, I haven't told you guys about our side adventures..." Gohan said. "Well, tell us!" Rainbow Dash said. "When Goten comes back. He doesn't know about them either." Gohan said "For Rainbow Dash..." Gohan said, pulling out a guide for flying. 'Flying: Tricks and Other Cool Stuff!' "What's that?" She asked. "Well, since you love to fly..." Gohan said. Rainbow Dash was spinning in mid air. "Heck yeah!" She said. "I thought this book could give you more stuff to do. And hey, it'll help you master flight too!" Gohan said. "Alright!" Rainbow Dash said, throwing a fist up in the air. "Thanks!" She added. "For Pinkie..." Gohan said, pulling out a bag. A tied pouch, actually. It was like, three times the size of a senzu bean pouch. "What is it?" Pinkie asked. "A bag of magical winds!" Gohan said, handing it over to Pinkie. She untied the bag, unleashing the full force of the infinite winds. She closed the bag, and her hair stood up. "Ooh... Yeah, should've mentioned it's infinite." Gohan said. "Infinite!? YAY!" Pinkie said, unleashing it on herself yet again. "Don't do it for too long, you'll get dehydrated." Gohan said. "I OE IE!" Pinkie said. Then she stopped. "And finally, for everyone, even you, Sunset, 70 kilogram weighted clothes!" Gohan said, pulling out all that for everyone. "An upgrade to our 20? Awesome!" Rainbow Dash said. "Don't wear it now!" Sunset said. "That reminds me- Don't sleep with your boots and weighted clothes on, Gohan! Tell Goten the same!" Rarity said. "Okay. But Goten doesn't wear weights, and he removes his shoes." Gohan said. "Okay." Rarity said. Goten came back through the window with his new bike. "So, how is it?" Twilight asked. "Awesome! I love it! Thanks guys!" Goten said cheerfully. "It was nothing!" Rainbow Dash said. "Christmas is- I mean, Hearth's Warming is awesome!" Goten said. "Christmas?" Everyone asked. "Hearth's Warming is what we call Christmas where we come from." Gohan said. "Why?" Sunset asked. "Some guy named Jesus Christ did something, I'm not really sure." Gohan said. "Well, that's just great. You know the history of Hearth's Warming, but not Christmas?" Rainbow Dash asked. "It's something to do with religion, okay? I'm not really the religious type. Even though I believe in the Kais." Gohan said. "Now, tell us about your side adventures!" Sunset said. "Side adventures?" Goten asked. "I guess I'll tell you it as a bedtime story, Goten." Gohan joked. "Hey! I'm not a little baby anymore!" Goten retorted. "I'm kidding, I'm kidding! Sorry." Gohan said. *** Gohan's stories of Garlic Jr., Dr. Wheelo, Turles, Slug, Cooler, Meta Cooler, Broly and Hatchiyack put Goten to sleep. He had to remove Goten's shoes for him because of that. He also draped a nice, warm blanket made by Rarity over him. "What a night... It's 10:34!" Rainbow Dash said. "Better head off to bed!" Pinkie said, hopping into a sleeping bag. Gohan started to remove his boots and wristbands. "This was fun." Sunset said. "Agreement." Gohan said. "Night!" Rainbow Dash said. "Good night." Everyone else said. *** Sunset woke up in the middle of the night. She barely saw it, but Gohan was missing. So, that's what made her sit up and look around. She could see his weighted stuff in the corner in the moonlight. 'Where did he go?' She thought. She silently flew over the sleeping girls and dog and walked into the kitchen. That's where she saw Gohan. He looked like he was thinking deeply, staring out the window. "Gohan?" Sunset asked. Gohan looked to his side. "Sunset? Why are you awake?" He asked. "I could ask you the same exact thing." Sunset said. "Yeah, you could." Gohan said, staring out the window again. "So, why?" Sunset asked. "I'm just having trouble sleeping." Gohan said. "Why?" Sunset asked. "It's nothing, okay?" Gohan said. "Clearly not. Is it something to do with your weird request?" Sunset asked. "Don't get me a gift? Of course not." Gohan said. "Well, actually, I wanted to ask, why?" Sunset asked. "I wanted to make it extra special for Goten, not some special treatment for me too." Gohan said. Sunset giggled. "What's funny?" Gohan asked. "You're so humble. You're really selfless. I like that." Sunset said. "I don't know..." Gohan said. "Anyway, tell me why you're not sleeping." Sunset said. "I'm fine." Gohan said. "You're too selfless to accept help. At this point it's selfishness, Gohan. You know that." Sunset said. Gohan didn't really want to be considered selfish by his friend... He looked away in a sort of shame. "Look, I won't hate you or anything." Sunset said. "...I'm afraid." Gohan said, looking towards Sunset. "Of what? That's a surprise..." Sunset said, going to the refrigerator and getting some whipped cream. "I know. That's why I don't talk about it. It's my main fear at this point." Gohan said. "Well, what is it?" Sunset asked. "Well, do you know why Goten's here?" Gohan asked. "Dragon balls, yes." Sunset said. "No, I mean why he used them." Gohan said. "No, I don't..." Sunset said. "And everyone else is dead. Even the greatest warriors on the planet couldn't beat him." Gohan said. "Oh..." Sunset said, spraying some whipped cream on her finger. "I'm afraid he did worse... I'm thinking he erased my mother's soul in the afterlife." Gohan said. "T-That's a bit absurd, don't you think?" Sunset said. "It does. But, I had dreams of this monster before Goten came. He stayed very grimly that he killed her twice." Gohan said. "W-Well... You never know, the dream may have been false." Sunset said. "And what if my dad's gone too? I don't believe he and my mother have been gone for so long on some honeymoon." Gohan said. ... Sunset sighed. "I guess I can't try to make you feel better about it." She said. "Sorry I had to tell you this. I... I really liked getting it off my chest to someone... But I didn't want it to be someone like you." Gohan said. "It's alright." Sunset said, wrapping an arm around Gohan. "I'm really sorry to hear." She said. "It's the monster who did this that frightens me." Gohan said. "I can see that... But you can beat him, I'm sure of it." Sunset said. "I don't know. This new form of mine... It might be useless in the future." Gohan said. "You say you have a new form... Can you show me it?" Sunset asked. Gohan sighed. "I don't like to go into it, but... Is there a full moon out tonight?" He asked. "I think so, yeah." Sunset said, looking out. "Then brace yourself." Gohan said. "Don't tell anyone else about this, you hear me?" He added. "Why?" Sunset asked. "Just don't. It's something too personal." Gohan said, staring outside once more. ... "Now look at me." He said. "Dah!" Sunset said, jumping back. Gohan was a Super Saiyan 4! "What the heck happened!?" She asked. "This is my new form. I don't know why this happens, but it just does." Gohan said. He didn't have his shirt anymore. "Gohan... Is it just embarrassing to be some sort of were monkey?" Sunset asked. "I don't care about it." She added. "No, that's not it. I could care less about my look. Like I said, its personal..." Gohan said, looking away. "Well, you can tell me about it another time. Let's get back to sleep." Sunset said. "Okay..." Gohan said, reverting back to his base form. His shirt was back. "Don't tell anyone else about what we just discussed. Especially Goten." Gohan said. "Don't worry, I won't." Sunset said. She gave Gohan a hug. "We'll always be on your side, no matter what you're gonna do." Sunset said. *** So Gohan thinks the truth. Oh fuck. And Fluttershy's brother was just a nutcase. And the brothers... Well, they TRIED to help. *** "I need you to convince my brother to move out." Fluttershy said. "You have a brother?" Gohan asked. "Yes. He's too much of a hassle!" Fluttershy said. "Why?" Gohan asked. "He moved everything around in my house, he can't hold down a job, and expects everyone else to do things for him! He keeps doing this to everyone! He makes me peeved!" Fluttershy said, before she shut her mouth. "Why'd you shut your mouth?" Gohan asked. "Pardon my language..." Fluttershy said. "That's bad language around here? And I thought I've heard bad language..." Gohan said. The memories of Vegeta... "You bitch!" "100 times regular gravity? That's for pussies!" "You're fucked right in the down under." "Dumbass!" "Dickhead!" "That... Bastard..." "I'm fanfuckingtastic!" "Oh, YOU MOTHERFUCKEEEERS!" "FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!" "Oh to fuck with this!" "I'm going to have to kill your ass!" "....ffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUAUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!" "Goddamnit." "Look down at the ground, back to me, I'm flipping you off." "But I chucked that son of a bitch as hard as I could!" "Son of a gum chewing funk monster! Why the fruit does all this funny stuff happen to me! Forget my life! Always surrounded by miserable, failing clods! It's like this whole world, like to bend me over, and find me in the alps! Like I'm some sort of slug receptacle! Well as far as I care, these miserable cows can have a fancy barabecue with a goddamn pig!" Dedicated to Vegeta for saving Gohan in hell. That's enough of that... "Please help!" Fluttershy said. "Did you mention me yet?" Gohan said, conjuring up a plan. "No. I don't think he knows about you... He's always cooped up in his mind." Fluttershy said. Gohan grinned. "I have a plan. Goten!" He said. *** Fluttershy returned to her messed up cottage. She opened the door. "Zephyr? We have a new animal staying here..." Fluttershy said. "Okay. Just as long as it doesn't mess up my mojo." Zephyr said. "His name is Goten, and he's a bit... Fussy." Fluttershy said. Goten came crashing in all stumbly and clumsy, unlike his usual self. "Why's that monkey wearing clothes?" Zephyr asked. "Where he comes from, he learned how to fight... Since you need something to do... I thought you could be his training partner for a while?" Fluttershy asked. "Aw, come on!" Zephyr said. Goten gave him puppy dog eyes. "And all you have to do is... Well, move out of the way when he attacks..." Fluttershy said. "I'll give it a try." Zephyr said. *** Fluttershy came back to the cottage. "How's everythi- Zephyr!? Are you okay!?" She asked. Zephyr formed a couch fort against an unmoving Goten. "Sis! Thank goodness you're here! That... That monster! He violently ATTACKED me!" Zephyr said, pointing a hoof at Goten. "I didn't even hit you!" Goten retorted, dropping the act. "Well- Yeah!... But you tried!" Zephyr retorted. "This is what I did!" Goten said, throwing the slowest of kicks in the air. "Zephyr Breeze! You couldn't handle slowly moving out of the way!?" Fluttershy asked. 'He's useless!' She thought. "B-But he's the one-" "-You're the one who took the job KNOWING you were going to have to do work!" Fluttershy interrupted. "I know this doesn't help, but he tried getting me to hurt Angel and a bear." Goten said. "ZEPHYR!" Fluttershy yelled. *** Ha. Ha. And, well, Gohan and Goten were pranked really badly by Rainbow Dash when she was on a spree. *** "Why did you have me make this Goku replica again?" Twilight asked. "It's for a prank." Rainbow Dash said. "You better not use it on Gohan and Goten." Twilight said. "I won't! It'll just be in Ponyville for everypony to be stunned by! Bye!" Rainbow Dash said, flying outside Twilight's castle. "I got a bad feeling..." Twilight said. *** Gohan opened his door to greet the morning! ...TO SEE GOKU!? "Dad!?" Gohan asked. "Goten! Get out here! Dad's here!" He yelled. Goten rushed outside. "Dad!?" Goten asked. No response. "How come I can't sense your energy?" Gohan asked. No response. "Wait a minute..." Gohan said, walking over to touch 'Goku.' It fell over. And he sensed Rainbow Dash nearby... "RAINBOW DASH!" Gohan yelled to the sky. Rainbow Dash was laughing her ass off. "That's just cruel!" Gohan said with tears. "It's a prank!" Rainbow Dash said. "He hasn't even met him yet!" Gohan said. "Yeah!" Goten said. "Oh... Uh... Sorry..." Rainbow Dash said. ... "Bye!" She said, flying away instantly. "Is that what dad really looks like?" Goten asked. "Yes..." Gohan said. *** They eventually made up with her. But they didn't prank Rainbow Dash with that zombie prank. They just kept her outside the door. They were going to the Crystal Empire to see Flurry Heart again. The 'changeling spy' caused a panic... *** Twilight, Starlight, Spike, Gohan and Goten were in the Crystal Empire again. And all the Crystal Ponies thought they were not who they really were. "Okay, why did all the ponies just run away after spewing nonsense?" Gohan asked. "Something strange is definitely going on." Twilight said. *** They went to the castle, but then were halted by some guards. "Who goes there?" The first guard asked. "Uh... You don't recognize the Princess of Friendship?" Starlight asked. "And the guy who saved Equestria more than once?" Spike asked. "Of course we do." The first guard said. "But that doesn't mean they're really them." The second guard said. Gohan aimed his hand at the sky and fired a powerful blast. "That proves I'm me." Gohan said. "Don't worry guys!" Spike said, walking up to them casually. "They're with me." He added. "We need some sort of identification." The first guard said. "We'll take care of things from here." Cadence said. Behind the guards were Cadence, Shining Armor, Sunburst and Flurry Heart. "Thank goodness, it's Cadence! What's going on?" Twilight asked. "We can explain, Twily. If it really is you..." Shining Armor said. "Twilight retains her alicorn power level, so yeah. It's her." Gohan said. "And how do we know you're you?" Shining Armor asked. "Do you want me to demonstrate again?" Gohan asked. "Actually, no, that's a stupid question. But I don't know about Twily..." Shining Armor said. "I have this." Cadence said, running up to Twilight. They did their little friendship dance. Proving Twilight was her. "It's okay everypony! It's her." Shining Armor said. Sunburst brought Flurry Heart, who was in a tiny cradle over to the group. "Flurry Heart!" Gohan and Twilight said. "Of course it's her! What's all this about?" Starlight asked. "A changeling's been spotted nearby." Sunburst said. "Do you want me to track him?" Gohan asked. "How?" Sunburst asked. "I fought changelings before, all of them felt the same." Gohan said. Flurry grabbed Twilight's hoof with her two tiny hooves. "Aw... She's gotten so big!" Twilight said. "Yeah. Don't worry, Shining Armor, Cadence. We'll find the changeling. And protect Flurry if it has to come to fighting." Gohan said. *** Goten, Twilight and Starlight were defending Flurry while Gohan went out to investigate. He was trying to find a similar ki signature like before, but didn't get that. He started trekking outside the Crystal Empire, since he looked already. He was now in an ice canyon. He sensed someone nearby, but it wasn't a changeling. Maybe it was some pony traveling. He traversed around until he saw the pony. "A royal guard? What are you doing around here?" Gohan asked. "Shouldn't you be back in the Crystal Empire?" He asked. "O-Oh! You saw me! I-I... Well, yes. I will leave now." The guard said, trotting away. 'He's not going in the direction of the Empire.' Gohan thought. "Stop." Gohan said. "Y-Yes?" The guard asked. "Why are you so nervous?" Gohan asked. "W-Well, uh..." The guard said. "And why are you going that way? The Crystal Empire's that way." Gohan said, pointing at the direction of the Empire. The guard sighed. "I can't do this anymore." He said in a different voice, turning back into what he really was. A changeling. "A changeling?" Gohan asked. "Yeah. I'm nervous because of you." He said. "Why do you feel so different than the other changelings...?" Gohan asked. "Oh, so now another kind thinks I'm different than my own. I know you don't want to be friends." The changeling said. "What? I never said that, you just have... Well, a kind of pure energy." Gohan said. "H-How can you tell?" He asked. "I know what a changeling's energy is like. Evil. Yours is more peaceful." Gohan said. "E-Evil? Oh. No, not me. All I ever wanted was a friend." The changeling said. "From the moment I first burst from my egg in the nursery hive..." He said, remembering when he was born. All the babies hated each other. "I... Was part of the attack on Canterlot during the royal wedding... But I had never seen true friendship like that, before you started massacring us." He said. "You mean..." Gohan said. "Yes. The six ponies who stood together and fought. And I just couldn't steal and feed on it's love... I wanted to share it. So I escaped before you could kill me." He said. "Oh. I'm sorry I did that." Gohan said. "Don't be. After that, I knew I couldn't live with my kind anymore. I left, looking for love to share... But..." He said. "But what?" Gohan asked. "It's the Crystal Empire! I'm starving! It's full of love, and it's what drew me here! It's driving me CRAZY!" He said. "You came because of the royal crystalling. And I think I have a temporary solution to your problem." Gohan said. "Oh yeah? Like what?" He asked. Gohan reached into his senzu bean pouch. He tossed a bean over to him. "Eat it. You won't be hungry after that." Gohan said. "B-But changelings eat love..." He said. "Trust me. It won't kill you, I promise." Gohan said. The changeling gulped before he ate the bean. Suddenly, he wasn't hungry anymore. "W-Wha? I... I'm not hungry?" He asked. "Senzu beans are a miracle, restoring your stamina and healing you." Gohan said. "I... I didn't expect you of all kind to help me." The changeling said. "I don't needlessly kill. I don't want to fight and be a hero at all, actually. But, sometimes, victory is the only option to save your friends." Gohan said. "Thank you so much... If I made a friend, the love would probably sustain me so I could live, but... Because I'm a changeling, nobody wants to be my friend." He said. "I'll be your friend." Gohan said. "Y-You would!? Y-You're not going to accuse me of trying to attack or anything?" He asked. "I would be able to tell. There are no other changelings close by." Gohan said. "And I would be able to feel the lie in your energy." He added. "R-Really? Thank you..." He said. "Let's start out with introductions. My name is-" "Son Gohan, yes. Queen Chrysalis informed all of us about you... And I watched you fight Tirek." The changeling interrupted. "Oh. She's still alive, huh. And what's your name?" Gohan asked. "I'm Thorax! I can't believe you want to be my friend!" Thorax said. "Well, I don't judge a book by it's cover. Once I know all about it, I can actually make a decision about it. We'll be best friends!" Gohan said. Thorax hissed accidentally. "Oh, oh gosh, I'm sorry! That just happens whenever I feel love..." He said. "Do you still want to be my friend?" He asked. "Of course. It's not like you would hurt me. Or could, actually. I'd rather defend you." Gohan said. "You would?" Thorax asked. "I'm sure I can get the Crystal Empire to be friends with you too. I have a bit of a connection with the princess." Gohan said. "Really!?" Thorax asked, suddenly hissing like crazy. He shut his mouth. "I could. In fact, let's go there now!" Gohan said. "Y-You're going to take me in the Crystal Empire?" Thorax asked. Gohan put two fingers to his head, and held his hand out. "Grab on. I'll teleport us there." He said. "S-Shouldn't you just... Take me after you tell them about me?" Thorax asked. "Why?" Gohan asked. "They'll attack me!" Thorax said. "Don't worry, as long as you're behind me, they won't get through." Gohan said. "Are you sure? Princess Cadence is an alicorn!" Thorax said. "There's another one there too, but they don't stand a chance against me. Don't worry." Gohan said. "...I'm trusting you." Thorax said, taking Gohan's hand. *** The two popped in the throne room, where the baby was, and etc. Plus the guards. "Hello Gohan, y- You brought back the changeling as prisoner?" Twilight asked. Gohan shook his head. "This changeling is not an enemy. He's nice." He said. "H-Hi, everyone." Thorax said, gulping. "Seize him!" Shining Armor commanded. "No, stay back! He's nice, I tell you!" Gohan said, standing in front of Thorax. "How could a changeling be nice?" Spike asked. "There are none." Cadence and Shining Armor said. "That's a lie." Gohan said. "Gohan's right, he doesn't have any bad energy in him." Goten said, walking up to the two. "Except genetic impulses." Gohan said. "He's tricking you! Get him!" Shining Armor commanded. All the guards charged at Thorax, but Gohan grabbed him and jumped up. Goten jumped up too. All the guards crashed into each other as a result. "Listen to me! He's a nice changeling, and doesn't want to hurt anyone!" Gohan said. Thorax got out of Gohan's grasp. "I can fly." He said. "Sorry." Gohan said. "There is no such thing. The changeling, Queen Chrysalis kidnapped Cadence and cast a spell on me." Shining Armor said. "Yeah. My race used to conquer planets and kill people for fun, and you don't see me or Goten doing that." Gohan said. "He's right. Vegeta told me ALL about it in a rant against our dad." Goten said. "Who's this 'Vegeta?'" Cadence asked. "The Prince of the Saiyans. Or, really, the former." Gohan said. "You know, I actually kind of get it." Spike said. "Not you too!" Twilight said. "We lost two of our best fighters to the changelings!?" Shining Armor asked. "What don't you get about nice changelings? It's possible for there to be an odd one out of an entire race!" Gohan said. "I don't want to hurt any of you! The other changelings hate everything, but I want to love everything! I'm not evil!" Thorax said. "Get him!" Shining Armor said, ignoring everything. Gohan grabbed Thorax and teleported them away. "Great, NOW they're gone!" Shining Armor said. "They could be anywhere!" Twilight said. "Goten, can you sense your brother's energy?" Starlight asked. "I could, but it just died down all of a sudden. I can't find it anymore." Goten said. "Great, just great! Search the Empire, we don't have time to lose!" Shining Armor commanded. *** The two were back in the ice cavern. Thorax sighed. "I knew it. None of them wanted to be my friend." Thorax said. "Hey... Don't beat yourself up. I know it's hard to loved when people refuse to see anything but your faults." Gohan said. "How would you know...?" Thorax asked. 'I might as well tell him since he's my friend now.' Gohan thought. "I'm in Equestria because of that." Gohan said. "What do you mean?" Thorax asked. Gohan sighed. "Where I come from, I did something terrible. I'm not gonna tell you yet, but it was grave. Everyone looked at me, refusing to look at my good side, and instantly thought I deserved to die." He said. Thorax was shocked to hear that. "O-Oh... Jeez... I'm sorry to hear that..." Thorax said. "Don't be. We all made up." Gohan said. "Really?" Thorax said. "Yeah. I'm glad I'm in Equestria and made friends, and I'm sure you will make more." Gohan said. "How?" Thorax asked. "My brother wanted to be your friend." Gohan said. "That was your brother?" Thorax asked. "The weird hair runs in the family, okay?" Gohan asked. "Okay..." Thorax said. "Look, we'll convince them somehow. I don't know how, but we will." Gohan said. "And you'll need our help!" A voice came from behind. Gohan turned around while Thorax looked up. Goten and Spike! "Goten? Spike?" Gohan asked. Goten came flying down, taking Spike. "We trust you to be our friend!" Spike said. Thorax suddenly hissed by accident, scaring Spike. "Sorry, I don't mean to..." He said. "Its genetic for the changelings." Gohan said. "Oh, okay." Spike said. "So... Three friends are backing you up. Any of us have suggestions?" Gohan asked. "We could try again." Goten said. "Yeah, but Twilight and Shining Armor will just shut down the argument again." Spike said. "Trust me, I know." He said. "We need to get them to understand how he can be like any other pony..." Goten said. "...Maybe... We could have him change into a regular pony!" Spike said. "What'll that do?" Thorax asked. "Ah, I see. Get him to spend some time with them, and reveal that he was a changeling the whole time!" Gohan said. "Exactly!" Spike said. "So... How do we do this?" Thorax asked. "We'll need to come up with a plan." Gohan said. "I love those!" Spike said. *** Spike, Gohan, Goten, and another pony entered the castle. This was the pony. https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/mlp/images/3/3d/Crystal_Hoof_ID_S6E16.png/revision/latest?cb=20170731011214 "Spike! Gohan? Where's that changeling?" Twilight asked from the other side of the hall. "Oh. Him? Turns out you guys really made him sad and he made me kill him. Seriously, that was brutal." Gohan said. "Yeah, I was able to see it happen. Changeling blood is just oozy..." Spike said. "Really? The changeling's dead!?" Twilight said cheerfully. The pony was just staring at Twilight. "A-And who is this fine gentleman?" Twilight asked. "He's my friend! Crystal Hoof. We've been pen pals since the Friendship Games." Spike said. "I'm not happy about killing him, Twilight." Gohan said. Crystal Hoof held up a hoof. "Nice to meet you." He said. "Oh." Twilight said, hoof bumping. "Well, it's nice to meet you too! How do you know about Spike?" She added. "Friendship Games." Crystal Hoof said. "And you said you were a pen pal!?" Twilight asked. "Uh huh." Crystal Hoof said, nodding. "Spike! You never told me you had a pen pal! You could've been using my pen pal quill set!" Twilight said, fluttering her wings in excitement. "Why didn't you tell me?" She added. "Well, I only write to him whenever you and Starlight are studying." Spike said. "I-I like to brag to my friends about my letters from Spike the Brave and Glorious!" Crystal Hoof said. "Well, I'm sure Starlight and I can manage. Well, you can go spend time with your friend." Twilight said. "Yeah, uh... He promised me to take me around the city." Spike said. "Have fun! Oh, and Gohan, tell Shining Armor what you did." Twilight said. "Will do." Gohan said. *** Spike and Crystal Hoof spent the day around town. You know, talking to ponies, being friends, having fun, giving autographed photos of Spike, being funny, etc. Crystal Hoof was happy with Friendship... Did I say Crystal Hoof? It's really Thorax. Like you didn't know, hah! Anyway, now Gohan, Spike and Crystal Hoof are going to see the baby again. They traversed the halls. "This place is everything I ever dreamed of!" Crystal Hoof said. "And you get some quality time with the important ponies." Gohan said. "Spike!" Cadence called. The three rushed into the throne room. "Twilight told me you had a friend." Cadence said, scaring Gohan and Spike. She walked up to Crystal Hoof. "And any friend of Spike the Brave and Glorious is a friend of ours!" Cadence said. "Who wants to play a board game!?" Twilight asked, pulling out a clone of Monopoly. "I do!" Crystal Hoof said. "I would, but where did Goten head off to?" Gohan asked. "I think he went out to look at the Crystal Heart." Shining Armor said. "That... That doesn't sound like something he'd do... Eh. I'll be back soon!" Gohan said, running to the Crystal Heart. *** Goten was watching the Crystal Heart constantly spin and speed up and slow down. "Goten, what are you doing?" Gohan asked. "I like looking at the Crystal Heart!" Goten said. Gohan chuckled. *** Now the two of them were staring at it. "I see what you mean, Goten." Gohan said. "Yep!" Goten said. *** After some equally stupid knock off board games, Gohan and Goten finally came back. "What took you two so long?" Twilight asked. "Staring at the Crystal Heart was a lot more interesting than I thought." Gohan said. "Did Crystal Hoof see Flurry Heart yet?" Goten asked. "Oh! That reminds me... Sunburst, could you bring Flurry over here?" Cadence asked. Sunburst did, and now he was seeing Flurry Heart. Gohan and Goten ran up to the baby too. Flurry reached out to Crystal Hoof in smiles. "She's so beautiful! There's so much love..." Crystal Hoof said before starting to lose it. "Around her that I... I..." Crystal Hoof said before his genetic impulses took over and he turned backed into a changeling. He hissed by accident. Everyone else gasped! "Crapbaskets." Gohan said. "I-I'm sssssso sssssorrry!" Thorax hissed. Gohan, Goten and Spike were quick to come to his side, while everyone else had a mean face towards him and was ready to kick ass. "Gohan, I thought you said you killed him!" Twilight yelled. "He lied, he must be under Chrysalis' control!" Shining Armor said. "Okay, now you're just in denial." Gohan said. "Spike, get away from that thing!" Twilight said. "Wait! No! You don't understand!" Spike said as Twilight grabbed him with her magic. "This was all part of the plan!" He said. "Plan? What plan?" Cadence asked. Gohan sighed. "You see, we wanted to prove to you that there IS a good changeling." He said. "But there is none!" Shining Armor yelled. "There's one right here!" Gohan yelled. "Where's Chrysalis!?" Shining Armor demanded. Spike ran back to the Saiyans. "Spik-" "-No!" Spike interrupted Twilight. "I dunno who this Chrysalis is, but she sounds evil." Goten said. "That's because she is, Goten." Gohan said. "Enough stalling!" Cadence yelled. "If anything, you're the one who's stalling! We just want you to accept Thorax as a friend!" Gohan said. "So he could steal Flurry Heart from us!?" Shining Armor asked. "Stop jumping to conclusions like that! You all are just refusing to see anything but his faults now that he's revealed himself!" Gohan said. You had to admit, that's true. "H-He... I... Dang it, that's good." Twilight said. "This is why we're on Thorax's side. He has his problems, but who doesn't? He's shown to be nice, harmless and apologetic!" Spike said. "And he did refuse to attack Flurry Heart." Goten said. "So, what's your defense? What are you going to say that debunks all of this?" Gohan asked. ... Silence... Then Twilight walked up to Spike. "You're right." She said, sorrow in her voice. "Huh?" Everyone behind her said. "We just assumed this changeling was evil... We refused to accept him because of something he didn't really do." She added. Starlight understood. She walked beside Twilight. "Gohan, Spike and Goten could see that he was different. That he was the odd one out of all the changelings." She said. Everyone else started to understand. "I'm proud of you, Spike. You risked your popularity and friendship with us to do this." Twilight said, hugging Spike. Gohan smiled. "Does that mean Thorax is your friend too?" Goten asked. "Yes, it does! If Thorax is any one of your friends, then he's mine too!" Twilight said, gesturing for a hoof bump. Thorax shook her hoof instead. "Thank you!" He said with tears. "On behalf of the Crystal Empire,-" Cadence said. "I would like to extend my hoof in friendship, and I'm sure all of my subjects are eager to do the same." She said. Everyone cheered.... Cadence trusted Thorax enough to put Flurry in front of him. Thorax hesitated before smiling, and Flurry clearly liked him too. "Welcome to the Crystal Empire, Thorax. I'm sorry we didn't take the time to get to know you, even when Gohan presented you to us. Maybe we can change that now?" Shining Armor asked. "In your true form!" Gohan said with a wink. "That's so amazing! I want to learn all about friendship, and maybe one day I can take that knowledge back to the changeling kingdom! If my kind learned how to create love for one another, maybe they wouldn't have to take it from others!" Thorax said. "To Spike the Brave and Glorious and his weaker friend Gohan!" A guard yelled. "...What was that?" Spike asked. "What? You ARE stronger than me." Gohan said with a wink. Everyone started cheering. 'How do these guards not see through his lie?' Spike thought. *** Gohan's call from the map involved... The next chapter! Yeah! You have to wait! Fuck you! Well, no. Not really fuck you, I wuv u... And finally, holy shit, Sunset's asking Gohan out. *** Gohan and Goten were heading home from the soccer field. They had a wicked training session, and the girls all got weights. Everyone sparred, and Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy, surprisingly, said they want to make a habit of it. So Gohan left the senzu beans he had with the Humane 7. Well, the two were now at the portal. "Gohan!" Sunset called from behind. Gohan and Goten turned around. She was running at them. "Hi Sunset. What's wrong?" Gohan asked. She stood in front of them now. "I have something to ask you. In private." Sunset said. "Okay. Goten, do you mind going ahead?" Gohan asked. "No. I'll just eat dinner before you get home." Goten said. "Dang it." Gohan said. Goten went through the portal. "So, what's up?" Gohan asked. "I was wondering if... Well... Um..." Sunset said. "Take all the time you need." Gohan said. "Well, I wanted to if... You... Would like to... Um..." Sunset kept stuttering. Gohan didn't move a muscle. Sunset sighed. "Do you want to go out with me on prom night?" She asked. "Prom night? What's that?" Gohan asked. "Y-You don't know what prom is?" Sunset asked. Gohan shook his head. Sunset fell over on her back. She just asked him out... But he didn't know what prom was. 'Damn it, Gohan!' She thought. She got herself up again. "Prom is a dance held at the end of the year. It's like the Fall Formal." Sunset said. "And you're inviting me?" Gohan asked. "Well, kind of. I was wondering if... You wanted to go out with me." Sunset said. "Go... Out?" Gohan asked, genuinely confused. "You don't know what I mean, do you." Sunset asked. "Nope. Sorry." Gohan said. "Rarity was right, you are romantically inept..." Sunset muttered. "What was that?" Gohan asked. "Nothing, nothing. I was wondering if you would take me out on a date to prom." Sunset said. "When is it?" Gohan asked. "A few weeks." Sunset said. "Then I'll accept, I guess." Gohan said. "You would?" Sunset asked in surprise. "Sure, but I-" "Thankyouthankyou, Thank you!" Sunset interrupted, giving Gohan a BIIIIG hug. "Uh... Y-Yeah... You're welcome... Uh... Can I ask why you asked me?" Gohan asked. Sunset broke the hug. "O-Oh... Uh... Well, everyone else in group happened to find a date. Even Twilight. I wasn't able to... So I asked you." Sunset said. "So... I'm like a last resort." Gohan said. "N-No! I like you enough to go out with you..." Sunset said. Gohan still hasn't interpreted it as a romantic connection. He gets that shit from Goku. At least he didn't think marriage is a food. "Okay." Gohan said. "See you." He added, walking into the portal. Rarity came walking up to Sunset. "So... How did it go?" She asked eagerly. "To be honest, I don't think he realizes I like him." Sunset said. *** He really doesn't. Clueless, I know. Anyway, that's a wrap. The next one will be Gohan's call. Why is Gohan's old call in a compilation but this one isn't...? Because I said so. Anyway, see ya. Author's Note Dang it! I didn't get it out before tomorrow yesterday! Ugh! Anyway, thanks. (If you guess what the next chapter is about then you get extra brownie points.) Oh, and uh, I edited King Sombra's return a bit. You can see which one it is. Please let me know if it's better. Gohan's Second Call (Wrath of the Dragon Pt. 1)The land was desolate. Full of stone and destruction. An ocarina dropped to the ground... And said ocarina was crushed by a giant foot. In this place, a lone boy stood. With a bit of a mohawk of orange hair, blue eyes, and a sword: Lights and ectoplasm flashed everywhere around him. He kept his grip on the sheathed sword on his back. He turned around and unsheathed the sword! A giant foot came down on him, and in his final moments, he only screamed as it finally crushed him. Dead... The sword of his fell... Stabbed into the ground. The wind blew... And the monster was gone. Loud maniacal laughter could be heard... "Next stop, Equestria!" He said. *** It was a normal day in the human world... By normal I mean abnormal. It was the weekend, and the Humane 7 were all hanging around school for a picnic. But they saw the traffic nearby... A car was running through all of them! "Robbers!" Rainbow Dash yelled. The cops were even trailing them. "We need to get Gohan!" Fluttershy said. "No." Applejack said. "WE'RE the ones to stop them, Fluttershy." Rainbow Dash said. "Oh..." Fluttershy said. "Let's go!" Sunset said. The robbers managed to smash the cop cars into other cars. "Heh. I guess that's one way to get them off our tails!" A robber said. The Humane 7 all stood in front of the car. "Get out of the way!" A robber yelled. "Together, ready? HA!" Rainbow Dash yelled, then everyone else yelled. They all ran into the car full force, stopping it effectively. In fact, they flipped it over. "WHAT!?" They all asked. They were still alive. "Hah! That's what you get for being so stupid!" Rainbow Dash said. The robbers were still alive... And one pulled a machine gun on them. Rainbow Dash recoiled in fear because of that. He sprayed them! Most of the girls dodged, but Fluttershy was brave enough to catch them. "I did it!" Fluttershy said. "Awesome!" Rainbow Dash said. She dropped them all to the ground, making the robbers fear the girls. "Our turn!" Pinkie yelled. They all fired a blast at the car, making it explode. The robbers were still alive... The other cops arrived on the scene, and arrested the seriously injured robbers. One ran up to the girls. "Who are you, and how did you do that!?" He asked. They realized how it felt when Gohan did shit like this. "Girls, close your eyes." Sunset whispered. So they did. Sunset performed the Solar Flare. "Solar Flare!" She yelled. Everyone around them were blinded! "Nice!" Rainbow Dash said. They all flew away. But... They saw something bad going on. Some guy was going to jump off a building! "NONE OF YOU REALLY CARE!" He screamed, catching the attention of the girls. This is what he looks like... https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/villains/images/d/d3/Hoi05.png/revision/latest?cb=20170125093426 "We can't even see you anymore!" A guy yelled. "You don't know what it's like to live in despair!" The old man yelled. "One step, and it'll all be over!" He yelled. "Do you really think he's gonna jump?" A guy asked. "We can't even see him anymore!" Another guy yelled. The Humane 7 all nodded to each other and flew at this depressed old man. "I've already made my mind, I'm going to jump!" He yelled. Then the 7 appeared. "That's not a problem." Sunset said. "Just take my hand before you do, okay?" She asked, holding her hand out. "GET BACK! I WANT TO DIE!" He yelled. "Then what are you waiting for?" Rainbow Dash said. "Rainbow Dash! What are you doing!?" Fluttershy asked. "Well, we don't HAVE all day!" Rainbow Dash sneered. "Well, You'll see!" The old man yelled, jumping off. He screamed. "Oh no!" Applejack said. The girls all scurried over to help him. Rainbow Dash and Applejack caught him in mid air. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING!? I should sue!" The old man yelled. "You're welcome." Rainbow Dash sneered. *** The group were now back at the portal with the old man. "You're safe now!" Pinkie yelled. "You idiots!" The old man yelled. "Let's start off easy... What's your name?" Twilight asked. "Hoi..." Hoi said. "Okay, now what the heck were you thinking!?" Rainbow Dash yelled. "Dash, calm down." Sunset said. "Now, sugarcube, tell us why yer all suicidal and stuff." Applejack said. "Because HE will come! And we need the legendary warrior Tapion to defeat him!" The old man yelled. "Tapion? He? Who are either of these?" Rarity asked. "You mean to tell me... You haven't heard of Tapion the brave?" Hoi asked. "Uh... No. We haven't." Sunset said. "He was only the hero who single handedly saved Planet Conose of the South Galaxy a thousand years ago! What do they teach you kids in school anyway?" Hoi said. "So you're from space...?" Fluttershy asked. "I mean, we're best friends with aliens so, we shouldn't judge him." Sunset said. "You think we can meet him?" Pinkie asked. "Of course." Hoi said with a smirk. This whole thing wasn't feeling right with Twilight... "So, where is he?" Sunset asked. "I thought you'd never ask." Hoi said. He pulled out something from his robe... "I just happened to have brought him along!" He said, pulling out a musical box... ... "Are you sure he's not some old geezer from a retirement home?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Dash!" Fluttershy said. "You see... Unfortunately, he's been confined in this mysterious musical box." Hoi said. "Isn't he a hero? Why would he be confined?" Applejack asked. "A conundrum that begs to be solved..." Hoi said. "Then lets wind up the box! Get him out! I wanna see more legendary warriors!" Pinkie yelled. "More... You say?" Hoi asked. "We'll talk later." Sunset said. "Conose was spared... But now the same crisis threatens Equestria!" Hoi yelled. "What?" Everyone asked. "The evil will ravage Equestria, then the universe! Consuming all! There's nothing you can do to stop it! Only Tapion can save you now!" Hoi said. "I dunno... We kinda got a legendary super warrior to defend us from that." Rainbow Dash said. "I wanna meet Tapion!" Pinkie said, raising her hand. "That's why I have come! That's why I've been searching for this music box for the last thirty years!" Hoi said. "Then open it already." Twilight said. "Don't you think I've tried!?" Hoi asked. "But you're not able to open it?" Rarity asked. "You may try..." Hoi said, presenting the music box. "Let me handle this..." Rainbow Dash said, taking the box. She tried moving it... But nothing. "What the!? It's not moving!" Rainbow Dash said as she strained long and hard. "You need a little elbow grease, gimme that." Applejack said, trying herself. Nothing. "What? I guess you're right..." Applejack said. "Ooh! Why don't we call Gohan!?" Pinkie asked. "Yeah... Maybe he can open it!" Sunset said. "Who is this Gohan you speak of?" Hoi asked. "Our friend. I think he's stronger than this Tapion..." Sunset said. "Oh, but I wouldn't dare say that." Hoi said. *** Gohan was training in the World of Kais. He was getting some special training. Even without the Z-Sword, he learned new techniques. And was training harder than ever. The Supreme Kai was hurling multiple blocks of katchin, the strongest metal in the universe at Gohan. Gohan was kicking and punching each of them. He had to admit, it was hard, but he could still break it. He didn't have to unleash his full power, but it was still good training for him. "Amazing... His power is undoubtedly beyond that of the Supreme Kai." Kibito said. "Well yes, obviously. It's shame about his father..." Old Kai said. "He mustn't know about that." Kibito said. Gohan smashed the final block of katchin before taking a rest. "Amazing job, Son Gohan." Shin said. "You can just call me Gohan." Gohan said. "Gohan, you used to wield a sword, correct?" Shin asked. "Yeah, before Janemba broke it in half." Gohan said. "Would you like a replacement?" Shin asked. "No, it's okay. I liked the old one, but my true strength lies within me." Gohan said. Then he started to glow yellow for some reason... "W-Why are you glowing?" Shin asked. "I am...? Oh, I am! Sorry, Supreme Kai, I have to leave." Gohan said. "Okay. Feel free to come back whenever you wish." Shin said. "Bye!" Gohan said as he teleported away. *** Gohan was at Twilight's castle. And in the Cutie map room. "You're going back there again?" Twilight asked. "Yeah. Why does the map have to do this?" Gohan asked. "Maybe that world just has some worse things happening than over here." Twilight said. "Last time I became a defense attorney. There's nothing that can possibly make it worse than the magical occurrences that happen here." Gohan said. *** "I wouldn't dare say that." Hoi said. Then Gohan came through the portal. "Gohan! Good timing!" Sunset said. "H-Hello... Who's this fine gentleman?" Gohan asked. "I am Hoi... This is the legendary warrior you speak of? He's but a boy!" Hoi said. "He's stronger than you think, buddy." Rainbow Dash said. "What happened?" Gohan asked. "This old guy tried killing himself just so he could get us to open this weirdly powerful box!" Rainbow Dash said. "I apologize for my deception..." Hoi said. "That's okay. You should just ask next time." Fluttershy said. "What's the point?" Gohan asked. "There's a legendary warrior called Tapion inside! Apparently it's Equestria's last hope against a crisis!" Pinkie said cheerfully. "Wow. Maybe we'll need this Tapion." Gohan said. "It's sealed with powerful magic." Hoi said as he handed the box to Gohan. "Magic? I'm not sure I can open this now..." Gohan said. "Come on, you can do it!" Sunset said. "Strength is one thing, but there are other things when it comes to magic..." Gohan said. "Please, I beg of you... Try!" Hoi said. "Okay." Gohan said before he took a deep breath. He tried to move the handle... To no effect. He started grunting. "Come on, you can do it!" Sunset said. Gohan strained so hard that he ended up turning Super Saiyan. The winds and aura nearly blew Hoi away! The girls were kind of blinded by it... They were witnessing Gohan's full power, anyway. He stopped and reverted back to base form. "It won't budge." Gohan said. "I told you." Hoi said. "But... I think I know how." Gohan said. "What!?" Everyone asked. "You have something else in mind?" Hoi asked. "Hey girls, why don't you use your magic on this box?" Gohan asked. "Oh, I see! Magic on magic!" Twilight said. "Will it work?" Hoi asked. "We'll have to find out. Ready, girls?" Sunset asked. Twilight stepped back. The Humane 6 all ponied up! Hoi watched in astonishment. They combined the magic to create a rainbow to rain down on the box! "Hey... The handle's moving!" Gohan said. "Yes! Release Tapion from his confinement!" Hoi yelled. "The music..." Twilight said. It was peaceful. The box opened! Huge winds emitted from the box, causing everyone to look away. Well, except Gohan. Smoke formed someone... "Are you guys seeing this!?" Rainbow Dash said. "Amazing..." Gohan said. The Humane 7 watched as they ponied down. Hoi stepped back... And he started to glow blue randomly. His eyes were red too. It's as if he... Was trying to do something sinister... Invisible waves were sent towards this smokey person. However, they were instantly broken, and returned to Hoi. The person who emerged broke his own box! A blinding flash of blue light appeared, then suddenly died down! A warrior appeared! Playing the ocarina... https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/dragonball/images/2/25/TapionHerosFluteSong1.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20160716205518 He slowly floated down to the ground. "Hoi was right..." Twilight said. The man stopped playing his ocarina and opened his eyes. They turned out to be green. "Cool!" Rainbow Dash said. "Catchy tune." Sunset said. Hoi walked up to this man with a smile on his face. And he unsheathed his sword on him! "Stay back!" He demanded. "Awesome!" Rainbow Dash said. This man was Tapion! "Was it you who revived me!?" Tapion asked. "You're very welcome! Nice to have some leg room after a thousand years, huh?" Hoi asked. "You old fool! Send me back!" Tapion yelled. "You're the one who broke the box, buddy." Rainbow Dash said. Tapion shot her glare, scaring her. "Not an option... Now that the music box has been destroyed..." Hoi said. Tapion was clearly not happy. Hoi looked down at his ocarina. "Hello, sir. My name's Gohan! We had a bit of a struggle getting you out!" Gohan said. Tapion turned around. "Do you have any idea what you've done? Well, do you? I don't know if I can stop him this time." Tapion said. "Him? What's wrong?" Gohan asked. Tapion simply walked away. 'Stop him...?' Gohan thought. "He's cool!" Rainbow Dash said. "And mysterious." Rarity said. "Very, very mysterious..." Gohan said. "So, is he stronger than you?" Sunset asked. "It doesn't look like it... But he's definitely strong. He's exponentially stronger than all of you." Gohan said. "Whoa, what?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Something's fishy about this Hoi..." Twilight muttered. 'Tapion may be the Friendship problem...' Gohan thought. *** Tapion hid in an abandoned army base. Rainbow Dash managed to get Fluttershy to come with her. "Are you sure this is a good idea?" Fluttershy asked. "Well, yeah! I want to know more about this Tapion guy!" Rainbow Dash said. "He's down there..." Fluttershy said, pointing at a hatch. She lifted the hatch. "Um... Mr. Tapion? Sir?" Fluttershy asked. "Hey! Anybody home!?" Rainbow Dash called. Tapion was clearly not normal. He was grabbing his head in some sort of struggle. He grunted loudly. "GO AWAY!" He screamed. Fluttershy cowered so much its as if she vanished. Rainbow Dash shut the hatch. "Fluttershy?" She asked frantically. 'Where did she go?' She thought. Fluttershy was flying away as fast as she could. *** So Gohan was roped into another slumber party. At Pinkie's. Again. Gohan and Fluttershy were still very puzzled by this Tapion. Twilight was puzzled by Hoi. Pinkie ordered the pizza, and... It came. "Hey guys, I need to head out for a bit." Gohan said. "Why?" Sunset asked. "I'll be taking this." Gohan said, taking an entire pizza box. "You want to eat alone?" Pinkie asked. "Yeah." Gohan said. He flew out the window. "Do you ever close that, Pinkie?" Rarity asked. "No." Pinkie said. "Maybe I should follow him..." Fluttershy said. "Does someone have a crush~?" Pinkie joked. Sunset shot Pinkie a death stare. "N-No!" Fluttershy said, waving her hands. Rainbow Dash snickered. She flew after Gohan. "You asked him out, right?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Doesn't even realize it." Sunset said. *** Gohan arrived at the abandoned place. And he felt Fluttershy incoming. He didn't move until she arrived. "So, why'd you follow?" Gohan asked. "I... I wanted to see Tapion. He yelled at me last time..." Fluttershy said. "So you tried to talk to him?" Gohan asked. Fluttershy nodded. "Hopefully we'll have better luck this time." Gohan said as he walked towards the desolate building. Fluttershy followed. This time, they went the door way. Inside, Tapion was grunting like crazy. He was clearly trying hard to do something... And the presence of the two just made him angry. So he stood up and unsheathed his sword! Fluttershy instinctively hid behind Gohan. "Uh... Hello, sir..." Gohan said. He walked over to a barrel and placed the pizza box on there. "Help yourself..." He said. Tapion only sheathed his sword and sat down. "You can't save the world on an empty stomach..." Fluttershy said. Tapion didn't respond. He only shot glares at the two. And that scared Fluttershy. "We'llbeoutsideifyouneedus!" She said instantly as she ran out. "Well... See you later, sir." Gohan said, walking after her. They just left. Back to Pinkie's... On the way back, the two noticed something bad happening in Hoofington. A monster was rampaging! Or, half of one, really. It was just legs. https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/dbz-dokkanbattle/images/b/bf/Artwork_1012430.png/revision/latest?cb=20171220014748 The military tried stopping it to no effect! "Gohan, we have to help!" Fluttershy said. "You're right, let's go!" Gohan said, and the two flew at the half monster. 'What could've done this...' He thought. Fires were happening, explosions, and the town was pretty busted! The two landed in a street. "Show yourself!" Gohan yelled. "I hope he is... Is..." Fluttershy kept repeating as she saw the gargantuan monster. She quickly ran away. "Go back to Pinkie's place!" Gohan yelled. The monster's size wasn't the issue, it was it's power level. Apparently the half monster had a tail, and it tried to hit Gohan with it after destroying a ton of buildings with it. Gohan jumped out of the way. 'Could this be the evil that destroyed Conose?' He thought. The half attacked Gohan with his tail again, and it hit this time. It was critical. Gohan landed safely, though. 'This'll be a bruise...' He thought. "Let's do this the hard way then!" Gohan yelled, powering up. The ground below cracked immensely. And the rocks of cement flew into the sky. He was at full power in base form! "Let's go!" Gohan yelled as he flew at this half. He kicked the stomach, but nothing happened. "That barely worked!" Gohan said as he flew away. He dove in for another shot, but then the monster turned into some sort of ectoplasm and disappeared. Gohan was definitely confused by this. But the monster appeared again, and attacked with his tail! Gohan managed to dodge that, and the incoming foot. He proceeded to fire a Kamehameha wave at the monster. It was strong enough to make the monster fall over into a building. "I have to power up!" Gohan said, turning Super Saiyan. It got itself up and attacked again! By stomping again! Gohan dodged and kicked it in the side real hard! Then, he kicked the feet of the monster, causing it to fall over into more buildings. Gohan flew up, and charged up a barrage. "Masenko!" He yelled as he fired multiple beams. With each beam, the explosion grew bigger. It could be seen from other cities! He finally ended his assault, catching his breath for five seconds. He knew the monster was still there, he could sense it. 'This isn't good.' He thought. But then... He heard music. 'Tapion?' He thought. The smoke cleared... And the monster was gone. Gohan reverted back to base form in confusion. Inside the dying smoke, Gohan saw Tapion. He was walking away, playing his ocarina. He stopped playing and shot Gohan a mean glare. Then, he disappeared into the shadows... Gohan quickly went to inspect the place, but Tapion just vanished. Nearby, atop many buildings, a hooded man was running. He glared at Gohan before laughing and making his escape. "I know one thing... Tapion knows all about this." Gohan muttered. *** Tapion was back at his hiding place. He inspected his ocarina. 'Curse that old man...' He thought. "Tapion." A voice came. Tapion looked ahead to see Gohan. With some drinks! Water bottles, mainly. "I brought you some drinks." He said. Gohan noticed the untouched pizza. "Leave me alone." Tapion said. Gohan sighed as he placed them beside the pizza box. "At least you're talking." He said. Tapion was angry at this point. "LEAVE ME ALONE!" Tapion yelled. Gohan was clearly unfazed, but respected Tapion enough to leave. He casually walked away before flying away. "Stupid kid... He doesn't know the true strength of him..." Tapion muttered. *** Gohan flew back into Pinkie's room. The Humane 7 were all playing spin the nail polish bottle. Just to paint fingernails. Don't get any ideas. "You're back." Sunset said. "Why are you here later than Fluttershy?" Applejack asked. "I was busy." Gohan said. "So, care to explain this?" Rainbow Dash asked, pulling out her phone. It was a news story about the attack on Hoofington. The recording was Gohan's Masenko barrage from afar. "Well, you all know what I was doing." Gohan said. "Why?" Sunset asked. "There was a big, giant, scary monster destroying the place!" Fluttershy said. "I don't even understand how it ended." Gohan said. "Didn't you kill it or something?" Pinkie asked. Gohan shook his head. "He just vanished out of nowhere." He said. "That doesn't sound good." Applejack said. "What's weird is... I saw Tapion walking away when it vanished." Gohan said, sitting down. "Tapion? He was there?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Yeah... I think he sealed the monster or something... It's really odd." Gohan said. "Well, let's forget about that right now. We're playing spin the nail polish bottle!" Pinkie said. "I absolutely refuse to wear nail polish!" Gohan retorted. *** Tapion was now sleeping... "No!" He yelled at himself. "You can't sleep! Not now..." He said. He was tired as hell. But... Eventually, he succumbed to the hands of sleep, and dozed off. He dropped his ocarina, too. Smoke flew out of him... And a portal appeared! Blue one. Thunder struck. The lights and sounds woke the warrior up. "No... No!" Tapion said. He quickly went to his belt, but his ocarina wasn't there. An outstretched hand reached towards Tapion! Tapion just narrowly jumped out of the way! The portal opened even more... And this guy was HUGE! https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/dbz-dokkanbattle/images/c/c4/Artwork_1012440.png/revision/latest?cb=20171220014533 Tapion saw his ocarina lying on the ground. With this big guy, it was gonna be hard to get it! The monster threw a fist at Tapion, and it burst through the walls! Tapion dodged again, flying at his ocarina. He caught it, but he soon had his back against the wall. The monster was about to take a bite outta him... But... The music... It started playing... The monster reached out in vain as it was pulled back into the warrior, where it came! Tapion stopped playing, then panted in relief. *** The very next morning... "Woah. What happened here?" Rainbow Dash asked. "It seems like somebody attacked the place... I hope Tapion's alright..." Fluttershy said. Rainbow Dash carried a bag from a 7 eleven knock off store with a few sandwiches inside. Fluttershy held a small container of milk. The two entered the ruined place... "Oh thank goodness! You're okay!" Fluttershy said. Tapion was really getting pissed off now. He shot them death stares while slowly unsheathing his sword. "Maybe we should've brought Gohan..." Rainbow Dash said. "Um... Hello! We brought you breakfast!..." Fluttershy said. She noticed the empty pizza box. "You ate all the pizza... Good. We'll just leave these here..." Fluttershy said, putting the milk on another barrel. Rainbow Dash put the sandwiches on the barrel. "It's sandwiches. I hope you like egg salad." Rainbow Dash said. The two flew away. Tapion stopped his glares and calmed down. He sat still, glaring at the ground. Then his stomach rumbled. He growled at it before just sighing and walking over to the food. *** Goten came through the portal at school. "Goooohaaaaaaan!" Goten yelled. He could sense his energy at Pinkie's. 'He went off training, and now he's here?' He thought. Goten flew towards Pinkie's place. Speaking of which... Gohan was awake. Everyone else was asleep. Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy were just missing. And he could feel Goten incoming. 'Well, here we go...' He thought. Author's Note Well, surprise! I should give power levels for this! Tapion - 7,700,000,000 Monster - Next chapter Hoi - 5 And Equestria as two worlds? I mean, you can think about it. A Warrior's Day and a Second Use (Wrath of the Dragon Pt. 2)Goten came flying through the window. "Good morning, Gohan." He said. "Good morning." Gohan whispered. "Why are you here?" Goten whispered. "I have to solve some sort of Friendship problem!" Gohan said. "Oh... Okay!" Goten said. "There's some legendary warrior around. Apparently he's angry that we set him free from some music box." Gohan said. "So that's the powerful ki..." Goten said. "Also, there's a monster around... I'm staying here just in case he appears again." Gohan said. "Then I'm staying too! I wanna have a challenge!" Goten said. Gohan chuckled. "He was pretty strong." He said. Then, Sunset woke up, drowsily sitting up. "Good morning... Goten? When did you..." Sunset said before yawning. "-get here...?" She ended. "Just a minute ago." Gohan said. Then, Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy came into the room. Again, through that window that's never closed. "Oh, hello Goten." Fluttershy said. "So, what did Tapion have to say this time?" Gohan asked. "Same old, same old." Rainbow Dash said. 'He's denying friendship... But that's not the worst thing. That monster... That's the real problem.' Gohan thought. *** It was nighttime again. And the nine were having another slumber party... At Rarity's. Fluttershy, Gohan and this time, Twilight flew to Tapion's place. They both had bags. "I'm surprised you keep visiting him even though he just screams at you." Twilight said. "He eats the food... So it's not much of a bother... Some animals hiss and screech, but I still feed them..." Fluttershy said. "And he's an important guy." Gohan said. They landed, and could hear the beautiful music of Tapion. "I want to know why he's here, and why he's this legendary warrior." Twilight said. They entered the place again, and this time, Tapion didn't shoot them death stares. Tapion was standing in the other opening. He just stared at the ground, stopping his music. "Uh... Hello, Mr. Tapion... We brought you more food..." Fluttershy said, taking her bag off. "You don't have to stop playing. You sound great!" Twilight said, taking her bag off. From outside... The same hooded man from before was waiting. Fluttershy took out a packed lunch while Twilight took out some water. Tapion simply walked in. The hooded one jumped down, and was about to run. "Behind you!" Gohan yelled. Tapion looked behind only to see this guy punch his ocarina out of his hand. It landed right in Fluttershy's hands. "Give me that flute!" He yelled, dashing towards Fluttershy. Fluttershy dodged the multiple swipes easily. But she accidentally kicked over a fire and oil, making a small fire. "Ma'am, here!" Tapion yelled. "Right!" Fluttershy said as she was about to throw it. "No, wait! Hear me out!" The man said. It was Hoi... His hood was taken off. "Tapion is NOT a hero!" Hoi said. "Then why'd you say he was...?" Twilight asked. "In fact, it was HE who destroyed the city!" Hoi said, pointing at Tapion. Fluttershy looked at Tapion fearfully. "No, Fluttershy." Gohan said. "He's lying." Tapion said. "Once you hand him the flute, he'll destroy not only your planet, but the whole universe! Give it here, I'll save you!" Hoi said, reaching out. "He won't. He is evil." Tapion said. "Fluttershy, just give it to Tapion." Gohan said. "No! Don't trust that monster! Y-" Hoi said before he was kicked into a wall by Twilight. "Stop calling him a monster!" Twilight yelled. Fluttershy was about to throw it. Hoi reached out again. "I will protect you, child..." He said. "Catch!" Fluttershy said, throwing it at Tapion, who caught it with a hand. Hoi was not happy, and made his escape. He jumped into the shadows, and his power level was gone. "T-Tapion... I'm sorry." Fluttershy said. "Let's go." She added, starting to walk away. Her friends followed. ... "I'm hungry." Tapion said, stopping them all. "Care to join me?" He asked. Fluttershy turned around with a bright smile on her face. They all ate. Gohan didn't eat anything but a bite. Mainly not to devour everything Fluttershy had... Twilight, Fluttershy and Tapion all shared the meal. They were all having a good time laughing and talking. "And his face! I thought he was gonna pass out on us!" Twilight said. Then everyone laughed again. "It's getting late... Tapion, why don't you join us at our friend, Rarity's?" Twilight asked. "What do you mean?" Tapion asked. "There's a sleepover party going on. We want you to join us." Fluttershy said. Tapion thought about it... "Okay." He said. *** The four arrived at Rarity's door. Twilight knocked, and the door swung open, revealing Pinkie. "Hi Gohan! Hi Fluttershy! Hi Twilight! Hi Tapion! C- TAPION!?" Pinkie yelled. Tapion was not amused nor surprised at Pinkie's loud voice. "Well, we invited him over..." Fluttershy said. "Come in! All are welcome!" Rarity said from her room. *** "So, the legendary warrior who saved Planet Google Search is joining us?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Cool! His power's cooler up close!" Goten said. "What do you mean?" Tapion asked. "We can sense power. You have a lot of it, too." Gohan said. "You can, huh?" Tapion asked. Goten nodded. "Well, we may as well introduce ourselves." Applejack said. "I'm Applejack." She added. "The one, the only Rainbow Dash!" Rainbow Dash said. "Rarity. Charmed to be in the presence of another warrior." Rarity said. "I'm Pinkie Pie!" Pinkie said. "I'm Sunset Shimmer." Sunset said. "I'm Twilight Sparkle." Twilight said. "I'm Fluttershy..." Fluttershy mumbled. "I'm Goten!" Goten said. 'I'm getting some deja vu from Goten for some reason...' Tapion thought. "And I'm Gohan." Gohan said. "Rarity, you seem to have an eye for fashion..." Tapion said, looking around. Mirrors, clothes, threads and more. "You are correct, I am a fashion designer." Rarity said. "What do you do at this so called 'sleepover?'" Tapion asked. "Well... Usually Gohan and Goten sit in the corner talking or doing Image Training... Unless we're playing games, gossiping and taking pictures." Sunset said. "Even when we play some games, or talk, they refuse to join." Rarity said. "Only because we don't want to wear nail polish!" Goten said. "And we don't want to talk about private parts." Gohan said. "Well, we also ban you from those kinds of conversations." Sunset said. "And we don't want to join them." Gohan said. "We were about to start spin the nail polish bottle." Rainbow Dash said. "And that is my cue to not join." Gohan said. "Same here." Goten said. "And I'm sure you wouldn't want to wear nail polish either." Rarity said. "No. Nail polish on my home planet is only for women." Tapion said. "Well, would you like to join our little group this time?" Gohan asked. "I suppose." Tapion said. The three sat in the corner. Tapion just blankly stared at the ground. But he had to wonder... "You two aren't in some sort of harem, are you?" Tapion asked. "No way. Never. I know our dad thought marriage was a food, but I know it's just one significant other." Gohan said. "He did?" Goten asked, trying I suppress a laugh. "It's how he and Mom married. She never stopped telling me that story..." Gohan said. "Hey Tapion, do you have any brothers or sisters?" Goten asked. Tapion... He took some time before answering. "A... A brother, yes." Goten said. "Cool! What's he like?" Goten asked. "He... Was a good kid. With a good heart." Tapion said. Gohan sensed a weird animosity from Tapion. "What about your planet? Is it anything like Equestria?" Goten asked. "Sort of. My home was in the South Galaxy. A planet called Conose." Tapion said with an unusual smile. "Green, lush forests. Water so clear you could see the bottom of the deepest ocean. It was a beautiful world..." He continued. Suddenly, he lost his smile. "Before the nightmare Hirudegarn. A phantom of mist and shadow... What it found in peace it left in pieces. Decimated..." Tapion said, recalling the flames of the nightmare. Everyone was running, and Hirudegarn was at large. "It was said there were many, but we only saw one. It reduced the land to ash and hunted my people to the brink of extinction." Tapion said. "Oh no!" Goten said. Gohan was serious about this. "Was this Hirudegarn... The monster that attacked Hoofington?" Gohan asked. "...He definitely struck." Tapion said. "How did it end?" Goten asked. "Hey! You guys! Having a nice time!?" Rainbow Dash called. "Get over here! We're gonna play other games!" Pinkie said. "We'll continue it another time..." Tapion said. *** After a fun night, everyone went to bed. Well, except Tapion. He was going to go back to the same destroyed base. Until Gohan stopped him. He didn't have his weights on. "Where are you going?" He whispered. Tapion stopped walking. "I need to leave here, now." Tapion said. "Why? We have space. And you look like you could use some sleep." Gohan said. "...Forget what Hoi told you. I'm not someone to be around. I'm dangerous." Tapion said. "...Let's talk about it in the kitchen." Gohan said. *** The two sat down at the fashioned table. 'It looks expensive...' Tapion thought. "So... What's wrong?" Gohan asked. "To explain my story... I must start with his." Tapion said. "Hoi was a member of the Kashvar. Power hungry aliens who believe themselves to be the superior species of the universe. For eons, they've traveled the stars using their dark magic to hunt down and exterminate all life forms different from their own. On Conose, they revived an evil long thought to be destroyed by my ancestors. Hirudegarn. A malevolent assassin that consumes its victims and imprisons their life force." He said. "Hoi is the villain... I should've known." Gohan said. "The Kashvars were deceitful, power hungry and such. It's no surprise he got you. They murdered half my population." Tapion said. "Just when you thought intolerance could get any worse..." Gohan said. "How did you defeat Hirudegarn?" He asked. "It was when we stumbled upon an enchanted sword that we realized we had a chance." Tapion said. "Is it that one?" Gohan asked. Tapion picked up hid sword and slightly showed the blade. "A weapon of the gods. A wizard found it in the Wraith's temple. Along with the blade, two ocarinas were discovered." Tapion said. Atop many broken pillars, two people stood, playing the ocarina in a desolate land. Tapion and his brother. Hirudegarn was on the loose. "My brother and I used them in hopes of distracting the beast. They must have been enchanted as much as the sword... Because neither one of us knew how to play." Tapion and his brother, Minotia, dodged all of Hirudegarn's attacks and played the melody. "The melody seemed to consume Hirudegarn with rage. And try as it might, the beast could do us no harm. " "The wizard took up the sword and charged." A wizard who looks just like Tapion except with purple hair and an orange cape was charging at Hirudegarn with the sword. "The monster had barely any time to react when the blade..." He jumped up and sliced him in half! "Cleaved him in two." Hirudegarn's two parts fell to the ground. The brothers kept playing. "What should've ended there turned out only to be the beginning. Hirudegarn... He survived." Hirudegarn was clearly still alive, clawing at nothing. "To prevent it from becoming whole again, the wizard sealed the upper half of Hirudegarn within me, and the lower half in my brother, Minotia. A small price... For victory..." Tapion ended. "Oh... I never would've guessed." Gohan said. "My people survived the onslaught, and Minotia and I became heroes." Tapion said. "Then why were you in a box?" Gohan asked. "We had no choice. It was the only way to ensure that the Kashvars wouldn't be able to get their hands on us. We thought. The wizard agreed to conduct the procedure on us. But vowed to release us once the Kashvar had been brought to justice. We both knew better, but we were proud to serve. As a final precaution, ordered by our War Council, the boxes were sealed, and sent to the farthest ends of the galaxies. That was the last time I ever saw my brother. Or my home. Now, here I am. A thousand years later, and nothing's changed. Still, a prisoner, outside, looking in." Tapion said. "What about your brother? I may be able to find him if you know which planet." Gohan said. "I don't know. Probably dead." Tapion said. Gohan felt incredibly lucky to have a brother now. "Oh... I came close to that." Gohan said. "Your brother reminds me a lot of my brother, Minotia. Cheerful and kind." Tapion said. "He was almost murdered by some monster... I don't even know what it is. All I know is that everyone I used to know died because of it. And now, we're the only two survivors of Earth's destruction." Gohan said. "So... You two are kind of like us. Except we weren't saved..." Tapion said. "How can we stop Hirudegarn?" Gohan asked. "He can't flee as long as I stay awake. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I miss that music box." Tapion said. "You haven't slept at all?" Gohan asked. Tapion shook his head. "Why didn't you say so? I have your remedy right here." Gohan said, reaching into his small pouch. "What is it?" Tapion asked. Gohan held out a senzu bean to Tapion. "A senzu bean. It'll wake you right up." Gohan said. Tapion took the bean, and ate it. He felt... "Amazing... I don't have to sleep... Anymore..." Tapion said. "They sure are a miracle." Gohan said. "What a story!" A voice came from the door. Tapion looked over his shoulder. "Twilight? I didn't even sense you!" Gohan said. "I affectionately refer to it as stealth mode." Twilight said. "That sounds vaguely familiar." Gohan said. "Anyway, I heard everything. I know you miss that sleep, Tapion." Twilight said. "Do you know how we can fix it?" Gohan asked. "Two options. One, get you and Goten to kill that monster, or we could make a bedroom with the music box's design." Twilight said. "Y-You can?" Tapion asked. "I have a storage unit around Crystal Prep. I could have it done by tomorrow!" Twilight said. "But the music box was specially designed... And it's destroyed!" Tapion said. "Every scientist knows to save everything. I have it at home!" Twilight said. "You do!?" Gohan and Tapion asked. Tapion walked up to Twilight and grabbed her hands. "Fantastic! I don't know what to say!" He said. "We'll call it even if you hang out with us for a bit!" Twilight said. "Deal. You're all very nice to be with." Tapion said. 'He's our friend! But I'm not glowing... There's something else that needs to be done.' Gohan thought. *** The very next day was a day off from school. "Professional Development day?" Gohan asked. "Yeah, we don't have school so the teachers can do whatever." Rainbow Dash said. "Well, we can spend the day with our new friend, Tapion!" Gohan said. Tapion chuckled. "Sorry, I have to head home for a bit." Twilight said. "That's alright! Come by later!" Applejack said. "We can still head to the school and jam!" Rainbow Dash said. "Good idea! Tapion has GOT to hear your music." Gohan said. "Musicians?" Tapion asked. The Humane 6 all nodded. "Bye!" Twilight said, leaving to catch a bus. *** The nine all arrived at school, and they got to the music room, where their instruments were. "Alright, ready?" Rainbow Dash asked. "You bet!" Sunset said. Goten got chairs for Gohan and Tapion to sit on. He got one for himself, too. "One! Two! Three! Four!" Pinkie yelled, smashing her drumsticks together. *** They performed 'Shake Your Tail.' And damn, Gohan shook his tail. Tapion loved the song! As soon as it ended, he clapped a lot. "That was impressive! I loved it!" Tapion said. "Well, thank you darling." Rarity said. "But... How did you get wings? And big ears and long hair?" Tapion asked. "It's our magic." Applejack said. "Each of us represent a core element of Friendship." Sunset said. "Loyalty, Kindness, Laughter, Honesty, Generosity and most importantly, Magic!" She said. "I'm glad you guys actually mastered it, because that gives you a huge boost." Gohan said. "Yeah, I can feel it!" Rainbow Dash said. "It's hard to keep it, though." Sunset said. "That just means more training." Gohan said. "I think I can guess who is who in order you said it." Tapion said. "Yeah, right." Rainbow Dash said. "You, you, you, you, you, then you." Tapion said, pointing at them in the correct order. "He isn't wrong!" Pinkie said. "Wow. I didn't guess it right the first time." Goten said. "Can you play another song?" Tapion asked. "Of course!" Applejack said. "Let's do it!" Rainbow Dash said. *** They did 'Shine Like Rainbows.' Gohan's personal favorite. Tapion's NEW favorite. "Amazing!" He cheered. "He really likes it!" Rainbow Dash said. "I think that's enough for a day..." Applejack said, taking her guitar strap off. "Let's head to Sugarcube Corner then!" Pinkie shouted. "What is that?" Tapion asked. "It's our usual hangout. A place of sweets and drinks." Rainbow Dash said. *** They were at Sugarcube Corner, but a few people couldn't help but look at Tapion because of a few of his items. The big sword, mainly. Gohan didn't get those looks when he brought his smaller sword... Tapion got a vanilla shake. Everyone else got other sweets n' stuff. "So, how'd you save Planet Google Search in the South Galaxy?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Conose?" Tapion asked. "Yeah, that one." Rainbow Dash said. *** Tapion gave the story again. "And that's why Twilight's making a bedroom for me." He said. "Wow... Tragic." Rarity said. It was 5:00. Twilight called Sunset. "Get Tapion and the others over here. I have something done for him." Twilight said. *** "Wow..." Tapion said. The room was literally the music box. This was in a storage unit. "This chamber generates the same frequency, allowing you to achieve REM sleep, while maintaining control over all your cognitive functions. You should have no problems getting your beauty sleep." Twilight said. Tapion walked inside and looked around. "Wow... It's perfect, thank you!" Tapion said. "My pleasure!" Twilight said. *** Later that night... Another city has been struck by this monster. Las Pegasus. "Koe-Ree-Soca-Kloon-Mon-Baree-Pa-Kie!" A voice called. It was Hoi... The bottom half of Hirudegarn was rampaging. And this time, from his tail, came weird wires that sucked the life out of people! And killed them! "These putrid humans are but a taste of the endless flesh you will consume once whole again! Together, we shall bring this universe to its knees!" Hoi yelled. *** It was 6:00. Tapion was sleeping... But no... 'No!' Tapion thought. Hirudegarn was breaking free! Tapion screamed in utter pain... Waves being sent from a long distance were killing him! Tapion was sweating, and he grabbed his head in pain. *** Twilight was already up, and was going to check in on Tapion. Gohan clearly had the same idea. "Oh, you're here." Twilight said. "Yeah, I wanted to-" BOOOOOOM! "What was that!?" Twilight asked. Gohan opened the unit. Tapion was missing! And the box was destroyed! And so was a lot of the unit... "That was forty dollars!" Twilight said. *** Now the rest of the Humane 7 and Goten were investigating. "Let's hope Tapion's okay..." Fluttershy said, digging through rubble. "And wherever he is, he's in better shape than this room." Applejack said. "We have to find him before we get to school." Rainbow Dash said. Tapion limped over to the entrance from the outside. He was panting... Sweating... And seemingly hurt. "Tapion!" Fluttershy said, helping him from falling. Applejack helped. "Did Hirudegarn escape?" Gohan asked. "No... It tried to escape. But I stopped it in time... we got another problem though. The lower half is free and is attacking the city!" Tapion said. "Uh oh." Goten said. "The closer each half gets the stronger they become. I don't know how much long I can fight it...!" Tapion said. Clearly not long. He actually somehow broke free from their help and fell to the ground. "He needs medical attention!" Twilight said. "No...! I can't hold it! It's too late! Kill us now, before it escapes!" Tapion yelled. Too late. Waves were seen... Tapion grunted... "KILL ME!" He yelled. Gohan hesitantly charged a ki blast. "Don't touch him!" Hoi yelled. A portal appeared from the sky. Right above the group. And here comes the giant foot! Everyone managed to dodge. Tapion got himself up and was about to play his ocarina... But it was shot to the ground by Hoi. Speaking of whom... Standing upside down in the broken storage unit. He cackled. Fluttershy quickly went to grab it, but rubble fell on top of her! "Fluttershy!" Everyone yelled. Fluttershy jumped from the rubble with no injury. "Play it!" She yelled, throwing it at Tapion. Tapion caught it and quickly went to play! But... "AAH!" Tapion screamed. It was too late! "Tapion!" Fluttershy said. Tapion screamed even louder! He dropped his ocarina... Hirudegarn was breaking free! He dropped his ocarina... It looked like fire was coming out of Tapion! The smoke... And it finally stopped... He fell to the ground. The smoke went into the sky and formed a portal. Thunder erupted immensely from it. Hoi laughed. His mission, complete! The thunder struck the bottom half, then forming the top half of the one, true Hirudegarn! https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/dragonball/images/0/07/Hirudegarn_better.png/revision/latest?cb=20171016225647 Tapion looked up in horror. "A problem just got a lot bigger!" Pinkie said. Hirudegarn roared. He was about 400 ft tall! "Suggestions, anyone!?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Yeah, we fight!" Gohan yelled. "I AM HOI!" Hoi yelled. Everyone listened to his next speech. "Last of the Kashvars! You have been summoned to do my bidding! Destroy humankind, wipe them off the face of Equestria!" He yelled. Thunder struck. ... "You suck, old man!" Rainbow Dash yelled. Hirudegarn responded by punching down on the group! "Run!" Tapion yelled as he grabbed his ocarina and maneuvered away. The group followed him to the streets. Tapion jumped on top of a car for some distance. The Humane 7 and the Saiyans looked at Hirudegarn in shock. "His power is incredible!" Goten said. Tapion started playing his ocarina. This time... Hirudegarn threw his giant tail down at Tapion! "MOVE!" Gohan yelled. Everyone jumped out of the way. "That relic won't save you any more than it did your brother!" Hoi yelled. Fluttershy was carrying Tapion while flying. "Minotia...!" He said, realizing his brother's doom. Hoi jumped atop a building. "Now! Bear witness to the true power of Hirudegarn!" He yelled. "Follow me, Goten! You all stay behind while we take care of this!" Gohan said as he and Goten flew after Hirudegarn. Gohan dodged to incoming punches from Hirudegarn, and threw a kick himself. But... Hirudegarn just turned to smoke and ectoplasm. He was intangible this way. He appeared above Gohan. That caught him by surprise, and Hirudegarn punched Gohan down to the ground! "Brother!" Goten yelled. Gohan was smashed to the ground. "We have to help!" Rainbow Dash said. "Let's pony up then!" Sunset yelled. "I'll stay behind..." Twilight said. The Humane 6 all ponied up, and flew at Hirudegarn. (I should've said this before, but the multiplier is a lot. So everyone has a power level of about... I'll say 200,000,000. That's lowballed, too.) Gohan got himself up, while the others landed beside him. "I told you guys to run!" He yelled. "We can't stay behind while you get murdered out here!" Rainbow Dash said. "You don't understand, Hirudegarn's far more powerful than friendship!" Gohan said. "And so are you, but you'll need help this time!" Sunset said. Gohan sighed. "Fine. Let's do this! I don't care who you are, THIS ENDS NOW!" Gohan yelled, turning Super Saiyan. Goten powered up into Super Saiyan, and everyone else just made their white aura flare. Each of them flew at Hirudegarn. They all dodged two claw attacks. Fluttershy went in for the kick, but then he just turned to smoke again. "His power and speed are increasing!" Gohan yelled. Hirudegarn appeared again. Gohan fired a Kamehameha at him, but he just turned to smoke again. He just appeared behind everyone this time. "Gohan!" Sunset yelled. Gohan turned around only to be met with a huge slap. Straight into a building. Goten threw a punch at Hirudegarn, only to miss. He kept trying, but he just kept turning into smoke! "We can't track his movements!" Sunset yelled. Hirudegarn finally struck, grabbing Fluttershy in one hand. She screamed in pain. But then a ki blast hit Hirudegarn's arm, making him let go of her. "Phew!" She said, gaining some distance. It was Rainbow Dash who threw the blast! "You're gonna regret that!" Rainbow Dash yelled, charging at Hirudegarn. "All the way to the grave!" She yelled, dodging Hirudegarn's stomps and slashes. She tried kicking him, but he turned to smoke again. He tried hitting her with his tail, but she dodged and tried hitting his face! He turned to smoke yet again. Then a chop came straight down at her! Rainbow Dash blocked with her hands, but struggled to keep it at bay. It turned to smoke again, and Rainbow Dash tried to rest from an attack. But she was smacked from behind, straight at the ground. She lost her pony parts. Goten tried next, constantly missing his attacks. Being annoyed, he fired a Kamehameha at Hirudegarn while flying up. A direct hit! But it did no damage. Hirudegarn appeared behind Goten and delivered a REALLY hard tail swipe to him. Goten was sent flying all the way to... Crystal Prep! He smashed through the walls of a class, where the participants of the Friendship Games were. "What's he doing here?" Indigo Zap asked. Goten tried getting himself up. "There's a monster attacking!" Goten yelled. Hirudegarn clearly wasn't done with just that attack. He fired a giant fire ball from his mouth. If it were to collide with the school, it would be destroyed! The students and teacher were afraid. Goten powered up in retaliation, and he threw his hands out. He formed a giant barrier around the school. It looked like it wasn't enough, the barrier was actually cracking! "WHAT IS GOING ON!?" Principal Cinch asked. Then she noticed Goten keeping Hirudegarn's attack at bay. Goten, in a last ditch effort to save the school, quickly turned Super Saiyan 2! His hair showed it! His aura flared, and a few desks were flying. The barrier was strong enough to repel Hirudegarn's attack! Hirudegarn stopped his fire. Goten couldn't even stand anymore. He reverted back to base form while getting on his knees. "I... I did it..." He said before finally collapsing. Down. "Someone get him to the nurse!" Sugarcoat said. "Are we not going to question how he changed his hair?" Lemon Zest asked. "NO!" Everyone screamed. Gohan flew in front of the hole in the school. "Goten!" He yelled. "It's you!" Indigo Zap said, pointing at Gohan. Then, Hirudegarn crushed him in between his hands! "It's him!?" Cinch yelled. "You wanna play, big guy!? LETS DO IT!" Gohan yelled, retaliating by turning Super Saiyan 2. It was enough to get his hands off him. Hirudegarn turned around and saw Applejack and Rarity flying at him with a combined ki attack. He retaliated by using his fire again. "HA!" Rarity and Applejack yelled as they fired theirs. The two attacks clashed. Clearly, it was too weak against Hirudegarn, and the fire exploded on them. They both fell to the ground, beaten. Down. Down. "We don't stand a chance against this guy!" Sunset yelled. "A combined attack would do nothing on him!" Fluttershy said. "Maybe we should leave it to Gohan..." Pinkie said. "No, we have to try." Sunset said. "Even Gohan's struggling against him, look!" Fluttershy said, pointing at Gohan. Speaking of whom, him and Hirudegarn were actually doing fine. Surprisingly, Gohan held the strength advantage. "Nevermind..." Fluttershy said. Gohan may not have been hitting much, but when he did, it packed more of a punch than Hirudegarn's. "Amazing..." Tapion said. "His blows actually hurt Hirudegarn." He added. "Is that unusual?" Twilight asked. "Yes! Only my sword and flute could keep it in check... But he... He's actually damaging Hirudegarn. He doesn't possess any enchantment, right?" Tapion asked. "Not that I know of. I think it's just pure strength." Twilight said. Gohan managed to grab Hirudegarn's finger, and throw the fucker over his shoulder. Tapion was clearly surprised. No one had ever done that to Hirudegarn. The last impressive thing was cutting him in half, but without any blessing being able to throw him over his own shoulder? "Okay, enormous pure strength." Twilight said. "H-He's our last chance..." Tapion said. "Let's get the others out of the battlefield." Twilight said, jumping down to her downed friends. Tapion just looked on. Twilight helped Rainbow Dash up. "I still got a little fight in me..." Rainbow Dash said. "Try using the magic of Friendship!" Twilight said, rushing over to Applejack and Rarity. "That's a good idea." Rainbow Dash said, joining her. Twilight carried Applejack, and Rainbow Dash carried Rarity. Each of them flew up to Sunset, Fluttershy and Pinkie. "Girls! Unleash Friendship on this guy!" Twilight said. Applejack managed to get herself flying. "But Gohan's going to handle this." Sunset said. "It's now or never, Sunset!" Rainbow Dash said. Rarity managed to get herself flying. They all ponied up. Gohan dodged Hirudegarn trying to give him a hug, and smashed a tower over. He just stood in place after that. The Humane 6 all fired their friendship at Hirudegarn. BOOM! Big ass explosion! The smoke cleared, and Hirudegarn... Was a solid? Pinkie came in for a closer look. "Hm... How did that happen? Must've been stronger than Gohan!" She said. Gohan just looked on in horror. He felt a sudden increase in power. "He's done for!" Sunset said. "Alright!" Rainbow Dash said. "No, he's not!" Gohan yelled. "What are you going on about?" Rainbow Dash asked. Gohan pointed at Hirudegarn. His back glowed green... Cracks. Something emerged from Hirudegarn. It's as if he was just a molt. Some bug like thing... Pinkie flew backwards in fear. Everyone looked in shock. It was Hirudegarn... But... Powered up!? https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/vsbattles/images/0/0e/589625-hirudegarn.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/2000?cb=20151004052338 "You guys need to run, this is NOT gonna be good!" Gohan said. Hirudegarn roared. He flapped his wings, gaining flight, and flew at the group. "Scatter!" Gohan yelled, dodging the incoming attack. The same could not be said for Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie, thy both got hit hard with two punches. Straight at the ground. Down. Down. They cracked it, too. "Fluttershy! Pinkie!" Sunset yelled. Hirudegarn wrapped his tail around Sunset, and started crushing her with it! She screamed in pain. "Let go!" Gohan yelled, punching the tail as hard as he could. It did nothing on Hirudegarn. Hirudegarn responded by firing a fire ball from his mouth at Gohan. A direct hit! It exploded in contact, ripping up his shirt a bit. Gohan wasn't sent flying far, but he was clearly damaged. He managed to recover before smashing into a building. Hirudegarn hurled Sunset at Gohan. He caught her, and carried her bridal style to the ground where he laid her. "Sunset, are you okay!?" He asked. "I... I'll be fine... Go... Beat him!" Sunset said in a pained voice. "I will!" Gohan said. Down. He quickly made his aura flare before charging at Hirudegarn again. Hirudegarn knocked him down with his fist. Applejack, Rarity and Rainbow Dash all charged at Hirudegarn full force. They smashed themselves into his back to no effect. He blasted them with fire, sending them all down to the ground! Down. Down. Down. Twilight retreated back to Tapion. "He... He's transformed!" Tapion said. "No kidding!" Twilight said, flying away for some more distance. Hirudegarn roared, making the rubble fly into the sky. Gohan flew up to see the chaos. "You have a weakness... Everything does!" He yelled. Every one on his side was down for the count. He was the final hope... He charged at Hirudegarn, dodging a fire ball narrowly. He dodged an incoming stomp, and kicked. Hirudegarn turned to smoke to dodge, smacked Gohan down with his hand. Gohan recovered, but not fast enough. Hirudegarn appeared behind him again to whack him with his tail. And then he did the same with his hand back to Hirudegarn. Gohan recovered and threw a blast at his face, only to miss yet again. "No!" He yelled before Hirudegarn slammed him straight into the ground! Many buildings fell on top of Gohan... Thousands of people were running in the streets. Gohan managed to get himself up. His orange shirt was half gone now... And he wasn't a Super Saiyan anymore. "It's as if we're fighting an illusion..." He muttered. He pushed the rubble off himself. Hirudegarn was still at large... Gohan limped over to where destruction was happening. "Have to... Find a way to stop... Before the entire planet and people..." He said before falling over. 'There has to be a way... There has to!' He thought. Hoi cackled loudly. "DESTROY! DESTROY! Grind their bones to dust beneath your feet!" He screamed. But... A beautiful music was heard... Nearly every warrior was down... The CP students were trying to patch Goten up... The rest of the group were on the streets, completely downed. Sunset tried getting herself up. 'Be like him... And don't give up, damn it!' She thought, standing up. ...Only to collapse again. "Damn..." She muttered, getting on all fours. "Don't let it end like this... Gohan..." She muttered. Fluttershy heard the beautiful music... "Tapion..." She muttered, getting herself up. Speaking of whom, he was atop a building. Hirudegarn roared. Hoi grunted. "IDIOT! After a thousand years, you'd think he'd learn to play a different tune!" He yelled. Hirudegarn fired a fire ball from him mouth a Tapion... But a green barrier formed around Tapion. Didn't work. The building was incinerated, but Tapion stayed flying. Hirudegarn was starting to feel the effects of the music... Tapion flew closer and closer to Hirudegarn. 'Hero... He really did come to save the planet!' Fluttershy thought. 'For too long you've fed on the misery of others.' Tapion thought. Hirudegarn was struggling... He walked back into a building. 'You stole from me everything precious and dear! But no more! It ends now!' Tapion thought. Hirudegarn started to melt down into smoke, and left a blue aura while doing so. The smoke all went into Tapion. Hirudegarn... Disappeared. Tapion fell to the ground. "Impossible!" Hoi screamed. Fluttershy ran up to Tapion. "You did it!" She said, helping him sit up. Tapion only took his sword out, and held it out to Fluttershy. "Fluttershy... There isn't much time left... Quick... Kill me." Tapion said. Fluttershy lost her smile. "I can't hold him much longer... In the heart, quickly...!" Tapion said in a pained voice. "Y-You don't know what you're saying!" Fluttershy said. "Do you want to see everyone you care about DIE!?" Tapion yelled. Fluttershy shook her head. "B-But... You're our friend!" Fluttershy said. She started crying. "I know, Fluttershy. I know it's not fair to ask you. But... There's no other way, I don't want to destroy you!" Tapion said. "G-Gohan can handle it!" Fluttershy said. "He was just mercilessly beaten down by Hirudegarn, there's no other way! I know death seems cruel, but I welcome this blade! Help me..." Tapion said with a smile. Fluttershy reluctantly took the blade. "Thank you... It was an honor to know you, my friend." Tapion said. Fluttershy held it up with two hands. She wasn't ready to strike... "NO!" Hoi screamed, jumping after Fluttershy. "GET AWAY FROM HIM!" He screamed. Tears kept falling down Fluttershy's face. She was about to do it with closed eyes and- "AHHH!" Tapion screamed in pain. Hirudegarn was breaking free! Hoi stopped jumping. "Tapion!" Fluttershy said, dropping the sword. Tapion grabbed his head before screaming loudly. The smoke was escaping... The... The ocarina broke! "Weakling! Hirudegarn is mine to control! As are all other weakling creatures that pollute my universe!" Hoi said. Hirudegarn was back. Gohan flew up to the sky. Hirudegarn roared. Every single capable warrior was down! Except him! 'I have only one other option.' He said, getting in a pose to power up. 'I can only hope this works... It'll kill me, but there's a chance it won't.' He thought. "Slaughter them all!" Hoi demanded. Hirudegarn responded by stomping on Hoi! He screamed in pain before being killed. Fluttershy stepped in front of Tapion as a sort of final defense. But then... "HAAAAAAAAA!" Gohan screamed. The two looked to the skies behind them. It was Gohan powering up! He was a Super Saiyan 2! 'I have to go further beyond! Come on... COME ON!' Gohan thought. He screamed even louder, and the buildings around him started to crumble from his energy. Then, a giant yellow sphere enveloped Gohan. 'Self destructing won't be fun... But let's try anyway!' He thought. (He's not self destructing.) He's powering up beyond his body's limits. Which could result in self destruction. "W-What's he doing?" Tapion asked. 'Could it be...' Fluttershy thought. "SUPER SAIYAN 4!" Pinkie screamed before eventually fainting. "He has yet another one!?" Tapion asked. "He's never shown us this before..." Fluttershy said. The sphere started erupting with lightning flying everywhere! "What's Gohan doing, helping him!?" Twilight asked. It struck buildings, wrecked ones mostly. Sunset stood up to see this. 'Is he going that were monkey form?' She thought. Then suddenly, the sphere exploded into a million tiny droptlets of ki! From it, emerged the Super Saiyan 4! Sunset smiled brightly. "Gohan!" She said. "Fight me. If you're ready to die." Gohan said. Hirudegarn flew straight at Gohan, throwing a punch. Gohan dodged easily, then instantly kicked him right in the back. Hirudegarn was on the ground, but not done yet! He stood up. 'Tapion said something about angering... That's it!' Gohan thought. He flew up to Hirudegarn. But he didn't move. He just stood there. Hirudegarn smacked him right there! But did no damage at all. "You call that an attack?" Gohan asked, enraging Hirudegarn. Hirudegarn responded by firing a fire ball at Gohan. Which exploded on contact. Hirudegarn thought it was done... "Thanks for the air conditioning." Gohan said with a smirk. Hirudegarn was enraged even more, and threw a punch at him! Gohan held out a hand to block. "You call that a punch?" He asked. Hirudegarn roared in pure rage. "Don't quit now, we just started!" Gohan said, spreading his arms out. "I'll even give you a target to hit." He added. Hirudegarn punched Gohan as hard as he could, but only managed to do nothing. "You're really bad." Gohan said, flying down to the ground. 'Supreme Kai, don't fail me now!' He thought. "I'm still standing! Come on!" Gohan yelled. Hirudegarn retaliated by throwing a fist straight at him! Gohan got what he wanted. He jumped up to avoid the fist. He flew straight at Hirudegarn. He wound up his fist. "DRAGON FIST!" He screamed, throwing that wound up fist in the air. Gohan exploded! Pinkie managed to stand up to see. Rainbow Dash could see even on the ground. Applejack and Rarity helped each other up, and saw the explosion. Twilight witnessed from a building. Sunset, Fluttershy, and Tapion all watched too. A giant, golden dragon emerged from the explosion! It roared, louder than Hirudegarn! It went right through Hirudegarn! Hirudegarn roared in pain. Yellow smoke formed around Hirudegarn, but it was actually the dragon! It wrapped itself all around Hirudegarn! Everyone watched in pure awe. It was incredible! The whole dragon trapped Hirudegarn in it's elongated body, and literally made Hirudegarn explode! BOOOOM! Then... The dragon disappeared. Shimmers of ki fell from the sky... There was a hole in the clouds... The ruined city was seen in all its former glory. "We won!" Fluttershy said. Tapion smiled brightly. "Minotia... You've been avenged." He said. The battle was finally over. Gohan stood on the ground in the sunlight. His fist proudly raised in the air. As a Super Saiyan 4! The clouds started to disappear. And Gohan started to glow yellow. "My job... Is done." He said. "Thank you, Gohan." Tapion said. Sunset came running up to Gohan. "You did it!" She exclaimed. She tackle hugged him, but didn't move him an inch. "I'm so proud!" She said. "R-Really?" Gohan asked. Sunset was so proud that she kissed him on the cheek instinctively! "W-Why did you do that?" Gohan asked, rubbing his cheek. He didn't know what a real kiss was. Just a part of a definition. "I-I uh..." Sunset said, blushing and backing up a bit. She looked at the ground. Awkward moment. "Tapion..." Fluttershy said. "Back there... I-" "Don't say a word." Tapion interrupted. "The choice you made was the right one." Tapion said. *** The ending was hilarious. The only standing structure left was the Crystal Prep school. Some say it was a miracle. Some say it was pure luck. Goten says it was him. And he's right. The Humane 7, the Saiyans and Tapion were all back at CHS. In their... Rather injured states. And a Super Saiyan 4 state. Celestia just happened to be outside. "Where were you eight?" Celestia asked before gasping. Rainbow Dash was being sustained by Fluttershy, Applejack was helping Rarity, Twilight was helping Pinkie, Gohan was holding a bandaged Goten in his arms and Sunset and Tapion were all alone. Gohan chuckled nervously. "Can we get some sort of homework sheet?" He asked. "What happened to you all!? Who's this gentleman?" Celestia asked. "It's a bit of a long story..." Gohan said. "And why do you have so much red fur!?" Celestia asked. "That's because he's a Super Saiyan 4!" Pinkie said. "Pinkie, I-... You know what? Fine. It's a Super Saiyan 4." Gohan said. "He finally says it!" Pinkie said before coughing some blood. "Wait... Were you the ones who fought that monster!?" Celestia asked. "We are..." Sunset said. "Then I can't penalize you for that! You even saved Crystal Prep from being demolished!" Celestia said. "Courtesy of this guy." Gohan said, lifting Goten up. "We have to get you all to a hospital!" Celestia said. "Actually... Everyone wait here for a bit." Gohan said, walking over to Sunset. "Can you hold him for a bit?" He asked. "Don't you have senzu beans right there?" Sunset asked, taking Goten in her arms. "Only five. Not enough for us nine..." Gohan said. *** Twilight was reading outside the portal. Gohan came through. "Gohan! You're back! Did you see-" Twilight said before seeing the state he was in. "Don't say anything." Gohan said. "Z-Zecora happened to come by... She... She gave me this." Twilight said, levitating a pouch over to Gohan. "Thanks!" Gohan said, rushing back into the portal. "What happened?" Spike asked, coming into the room. "Gohan's that were monkey form again." Twilight said. "Oh." Spike said. *** Gohan gave everyone a senzu bean. "Five left. That's neat." Gohan said. He was regular again, with the torn shirt. "I believe you all can go home for a day... No absence." Celestia said. "Awesome!" Rainbow Dash said. Celestia walked back into the school. "How'd you beat Hirudegarn, brother?" Goten asked. "He went Super Saiyan 4, and turned into this AWESOME dragon!" Rainbow Dash said. "It was a sight to see..." Tapion said. "Super Saiyan 4? What's that?" Goten asked. "It's the monkey form, Goten. We decided on that name." Gohan said. "Well I like it!" Goten said. "Gohan." Tapion said. "Yeah?" Gohan asked. Tapion walked up to Gohan and knelt. "I cannot thank you enough for stopping Hirudegarn." He said. "Thanks! You don't have to kneel, though..." Gohan said. "Oh, but I should. Because..." Tapion said, unstrapping his sword and lifting it up to Gohan. "Y-You aren't!" Gohan said. "Yes. Please. Take it. I no longer have a need for it." Tapion said. Gohan started waving his arms. "N-No! I can't!" Gohan said. "Maybe you should take it, big brother." Goten said. "Why?" Gohan asked. "Didn't you lose yours in hell? This could be a replacement." Goten said. "Yeah... That's right! You would be cooler with an enchanted sword!" Rainbow Dash said. "Please. I insist." Tapion said. Gohan hesitated before taking the sword by the middle. Tapion stood up again. "Thank you, Tapion." Gohan said. "No, thank you." Tapion said. "Where will you go now that you can live freely?" Rarity asked. "Wherever I want. Maybe I'll go in the woods." Tapion said. "Are you kidding?" Sunset asked. "I haven't hunted in a while." Tapion said. That made Fluttershy gasp. "What's wrong?" Tapion asked. Gohan leaned into Tapion's ear. "She takes care of animals, and she doesn't like hearing the murder of them." He whispered. "Oh... My apologies." Tapion said. "It's okay..." Fluttershy said. "I don't think it'll be a problem... He's super strong, anyway." Gohan said. "I wish you all luck. Goodbye. It was nice to meet you all." Tapion said, walking away. "Wow... Well, now we've seen Super Saiyan 4..." Sunset said. "I still can't believe you turned into a dragon." Applejack said. "I trained in the World of the Kais. The Supreme Kai taught me it himself." Gohan said. "Gohan, Gohan!" Goten said. "Show us the sword!" He said. Gohan unsheathed the sword. "Cool..." Rainbow Dash said. Gohan started swinging it, stabbing the air and maneuvering it. "It works like a charm." He said. "The shine on it..." Rarity said. Gohan covered it again. 'This looks exactly like Trunks' sword for some reason...' He thought. "I have a lot to tell the princess once I'm back in the pony world..." Gohan said. Author's Note Yeah. Anyway, I did the pony up multiplier because friendship is powerful as hell, and they have it in them. It's not gonna be useful anytime soon, but... Yeah. It's like the Vegeta of DBS. Get a new form after Goku, still be weaker than Goku. Hirudegarn - 3,480,000,000,000 Transformed - 17,500,000,000,000 To Where and Back Again Pt. 1Author's Note I should probably note this, because I thought a lot of people knew that Super Saiyan 4 isn't a 10x multiplier, but two people already have commented about it and now that I read these GT boards I can see a lot of people thinking that it is truly that multiplier. So this note is here to tell you that: No, it's not 10x. To Where and Back Again Pt. 1 Another day... Another sparring match. Gohan and Goten were sparring... Again. It became daily. It got their minds off school, and even during recess they did a bit of Image Training. They were outside the house, with Goten being a Super Saiyan and Gohan regular. "Hey Goten,-" Gohan said, dodging a fist. "You turned Super Saiyan 2, right?" He added, dodging more attacks. He grabbed Goten's foot and spun him around before throwing him. Goten recovered and dashed back into the action. "I dunno." He said, throwing a barrage of punches. "Why?" He added. Gohan got hit in the cheek with a punch, then jumped back for some distance. Goten rushed after him. "Against Hirudegarn, your Super Saiyan power doubled." Gohan said, holding his hands out and firing many ki blasts. Goten swatted most of them away. "I remember that." He said. Gohan teleported behind Goten, then kicked him in the back. Goten did a flip before standing on the ground again. "Can you do it now?" Gohan asked. "Uh... I can try..." Goten said. He tried powering up. And ONLY powering up. 'Can Goten think of that need again?' Gohan thought. The rocks around Goten started to rise. Goten was trying as hard as he could to tap into that power... "GNNNNNGH!" He grunted before eventually giving out. He panted. "I guess not..." Gohan said. "How do you do it?" Goten asked. "Raw emotion." Gohan said. Or just a tingly feeling in your back... "Once you can lock onto that need, or anger, like I can, then you can turn Super Saiyan 2." Gohan said. "Okay... When do you think that'll happen?" Goten asked. "With all these weird magical occurrences it should happen soon." Gohan said. "Cool!" Goten said. Starlight was approaching the two. "Gohan! Goten!" She called. Goten reverted back to base form and waved. "Hi Starlight!" He said. "Hey! What's up?" Gohan asked. "Well... See this?" Starlight asked, using her magic to show them the invitation she got. It was an invitation to the Sunset Festival in the old village... You know, the one she ruled over with an iron fist? "Huh. Sounds fun." Gohan said. "That's the thing... I'm scared to go alone." Starlight said. "It must be because of... Well, your last impression..." Gohan said. "What happened?" Goten asked. "Well, I used to think that the way I thought ponies should live was good. But it was actually bad. In my old village, I implemented it, and after I was exposed, I came here." Starlight said. "Ohh." Goten said. "Do you still want to be friends?" Starlight asked. "Why wouldn't I? You're not a bad guy anymore." Goten said, putting his hands on the back of his head. "Oh. Well, that went better than expected." Starlight said. "You want us to come?" Gohan asked. "I mean... Yeah. I was told to have a friend or two come." Starlight said. "Hm... I had plans today... But..." Gohan said, contemplating. "Why don't I go?" Goten asked. "You have something to do too, right?" He added. "Yeah. I do." Gohan said. "I don't." Goten said. "So...?" Starlight asked. "Well, if Goten really wants to go..." Gohan said. "I do!" Goten said. "Then you'll babysit for him?" Gohan asked. "Yeah. I just needed someone to go with. Well, someone well known there, really. Just in case..." Starlight said. "Ohh. I see. Wish I thought of that, but it doesn't matter now." Gohan said. "What do you mean?" Starlight asked. "Afterlife." Gohan said. "Oh. Okay. Well, let's go, Goten." Starlight said, trotting away. "Are you gonna be home when I get back?" Goten asked. "Yeah. I will." Gohan said. "Okay! Bye Gohan! See you later!" Goten said, following Starlight. "Bye!" Gohan said, jumping on top of the house. He looked in the other direction for something... I'm not too sure. "Now... I have two friends to my go with now! Better go get her." Starlight said. "Who is it?" Goten asked. *** They were outside Trixie's old coach. It's pretty much her home. She packed a few things... "Who's that?" Goten asked. Trixie got her hat and cape on and got out of her little abode. "Who doe-..." Trixie said before... Well, seeing Goten made her scared as hell. "Trixie... This is Gohan's brother!" Starlight said. "Your name is Trixie? I'm Goten." Goten said. "He's not going to kill me, is he?" Trixie asked. "Wha- No!" Starlight said. "Why would I do that?" Goten asked. "Oh... Just... Nothing." Trixie said. She hasn't made up with Gohan yet, so....... "Well, how long are we staying at wherever?" Goten asked. "We'll try not to take long." Starlight said. "Oh, I don't know, Starlight! Time really FLIES when you're spending it with your BEST friend!" Trixie said, wrapping a forehoof around Starlight. She giggled, too. 'And hopefully his brother won't kill me for trying to be friends with him...' She thought. "I haven't seen you before. Maybe WE could be best friends!" Goten said. Trixie screamed internally. "Sure!" She said with a smile. *** After the long trek over to the village... Well, not long. Goten just flew them, but- You get the point. He even carried the whole stagecoach for Trixie. They were at the village. Or, at the plateau near the place. It really has changed. All sorts of ponies with different cutie marks and cheerfulness and not fake smiles. "Wow. Neat town." Goten said. "There it is! The town that you-" Trixie said, before- "-Magically stole everypony's cutie marks, replaced them with equal signs, and forced them all to hide their natural talents? Yes." Starlight said. "I was going to say where you CAME from. But yours is more... Emotionally traumatic answer." Trixie said with a smile. "I think my brother could come up with worse." Goten said. "Like how?" Trixie asked. "Twilight told me he had a few... Well, episodes." Starlight said. "Based on traumatic experiences." She added. "He doesn't have them anymore, I think." Goten said. "Yeah, he just had to go to hell and back." Starlight said. "Why did you say that like it was a completely normal sentence?" Trixie asked. "When you hang around them you get used to it." Starlight said. "So, why did you give that answer, Starlight?" Trixie asked. "I just want to blend in... Just another pony in the crowd for the Sunset Festival with my friends." Starlight said. "Sounds good to me! And if things get weird, let me know. I've got your flank!" Trixie said. "Is that a promise? You and Goten?" Starlight asked. "Sure!" Goten said. "No, a Great and Powerful Promise!" Trixie exclaimed, throwing a blast of smoke on the ground. Made everyone cough. "Well, I couldn't ask for more than that. If we're gonna do this, let's do it." Starlight said, walking towards the village. *** The ponies in the village were setting things up again. Party Favor and Double Diamond were setting up a banner until they noticed Starlight and her friends. "Starlight!" Double Diamond said. "You came!" He added. Starlight giggled nervously and waved. "We were worried you wouldn't be able to make it! Are you staying the whole week? Who are your friends? We have different events planned each day!" Party Favor said. Then other ponies came up. "How is it living in a castle!?" Sugar Belle asked. "It is SO good to see you!" Double Diamond said. Trixie giggled. "Oh yeah, these ponies are SOO terrifying." She said sarcastically. "You actually think they're terrifying?" Goten asked Trixie. "No, that was sarcasm." Trixie said. Starlight groaned, but then smiled again. "It's good to see you all!" She said. "You got here just in time. We were having some debate about these banners. Which do you think feels more 'sunsetty?'" Party Favor asked, and a few pegasus held up a few banners for Starlight. "O-Oh, you don't need me to decide that... Whatever you think is probably best." Starlight said. "I like the one on the right!" Goten said. "Uh, well, how about helping us with the routes for the relay races tomorrow? Can you take a look?" Double Diamond asked. "Oh, I... I shouldn't! You all go ahead, I just want to enjoy the festival..." Starlight said. "But you WILL be a judge for the baking competition, right?" Sugar Belle asked. "Ooh, I wanna do that!" Goten said. "You do! Great! Uh... Hm... You look familiar..." Sugar Belle said, putting a hoof to her chin. "No no, the mane's different, but the clothes are vaguely the same... It's not summer... But..." She kept rambling. "Anyway... the unicorns have a fireworks show planned! We could really use your help!" Night Glider said. The villagers kept asking for more and more crap. Starlight was REALLY starting to crack under the pressure. Well, with everyone fucking ganging up around her it would make anyone feel claustrophobic. Starlight accidentally used her magic to repel everyone away. "NO!" She yelled. She hid her face in fear. Everyone (except Trixie and Goten) fell and were getting themselves up. They weren't really happy with that... Trixie had to save her friend's reputation... So... "The Great and Powerful Trixie would like to thank you ALL for being such an amazing audience. Sadly, it is time for us to depart. Good night, fillies and gentlefoals!" She said. Then she unleashed blue smoke on everyone then disappeared with Starlight. Goten was still standing. "What just happened?" He asked. Trixie and Starlight were about a tenth of a mile away from town before realizing- "WE FORGOT THE BOY!" Trixie said. "He's coming after us!" Starlight said. Goten was already flying out of town. The ponies all looked and chatted in shock. "IT'S GOHAN!" Sugar Belle yelled. Then they started chattering about Gohan because of his weird powers... *** Goten was carrying the coach, walking with everyone else. They wanted to take the long route home... "Ugh! I was HORRIBLE when I led that town! I was ready for them to not trust me, but... I wasn't ready for them to put me in charge again! With my past, I should never be in charge of anything!" Starlight vented. "So you messed up, big deal!" Trixie said. Then she looked around to see any other ponies. "Hey Goten... Could you get me some... Uh... A rock with a hilarious face on it?" She asked. "Okay." Goten said, putting the coach down. He jumped away to find rocks with a funny face on it. Trixie leaned into Starlight's ear. "Don't you tell EVER tell another pony I said this, but even Trixie's made mistakes!" She said, giggling afterward. "I know! The trick is to just move on and pretend they never happened." She said. "I feel like that's almost... Good advice. I mean, Gohan's done it." Starlight said. "In what way?" Trixie asked. "It would be better off if he just told you himself, I-I shouldn't give something like that away." Starlight said. Then she realized a way to tell Trixie. "Actually, nevermind. Gohan's the one who pretty much ended my rule. And basically humiliated me. When I was that monster. But, after stopping somepony from tearing dimensions apart, he just happened to see me two seconds after it happened and- Boom. Instant forgiveness." Starlight said. Trixie had a bit of hope now... "Really? That's interesting..." She said. Goten came jumping down. "I'm baaack!" He said, holding a giant rock over his head. Trixie and Starlight looked in awe. There was the most 'hilarious' face carved on it. https://img1.etsystatic.com/139/1/6178122/il_570xN.924623037_p7q0.jpg "How is it?" Goten asked. Then they burst into laughter. "And it's gooood!" Goten said. *** The three were finally back in Ponyville. Starlight noticed Pinkie hopping around. "Hey, Pinkie Pie!" She called, running up to her. "Hey!... Uh... You!" Pinkie said. "So... you're probably wondering why I'm back so soon." Starlight said. "Where were you?" Pinkie asked. That confused Starlight a bit. She told Pinkie already... But Pinkie is Pinkie, she does things like this. "I went to my old village? For the festival?" Starlight asked. "OOH! Sounds fun! How was it!?" Pinkie asked. "It was kind of a disaster... I came back early because I freaked out!" Starlight said. "OOH! Sounds awful. Bye!" Pinkie said, hopping away. Starlight was just confused. Trixie and Goten walked up to her. "That was... Strange." She said. "Isn't she always strange?" Trixie asked, taking her cape and hat off. "Yeah, but not like that." Starlight said. "She didn't feel like Pinkie at all." Goten said. Goten didn't feel right about Pinkie at all. "How do you figure?" Trixie asked. "She felt completely different than usual... Instead of a rapid and crazy energy, she had... A bit of a dark one." Goten said. "That sounds... Bad." Starlight said. Then she noticed Rarity and Applejack walking by. "Hey!" She said, walking up to them. "I'm back early!" She added. Goten had a horrible feeling about this one too. "Oh! Uh... Welcome back!" Rarity said. "Have you two noticed Pinkie acting a little strange?" Starlight asked. "Pinkie Pie ALWAYS acts strange." Applejack said. "You feel strange too..." Goten said. "What do you mean?" Rarity asked. "Hm... Maybe I'm having an off day, but you two feel dark." Goten said. "It must be your imagination, darling. We're happy!" Rarity said. That's not what he meant... But Goten shrugged. "Anyway... Anyway, I wanted to talk to all of you. Things didn't go the way I thought they were going to go at the Sunset Festival." Starlight said. "What happened?" Rarity asked. "I kind of freaked out and ran out of the village." Starlight said. Applejack and Rarity started laughing... Inconsiderate! Goten was sure that there was something wrong going on. "I'm going to go get my brother, you watch them. I have a bad feeling about this." Goten whispered to Starlight and Trixie. He flew away. "You freaked out and ran away from a festival!? Hah! That's the dang funniest thing I've heard all day!" Applejack said. "Him flying would be more terrifying than THAT!" Rarity said. "Oh wait, wait. Let me guess. The decorations were terrifying!" She sneered before laughing again. Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy landed beside Applejack in Rarity. Fluttershy whispered something into Rarity's ear. Something about... Friendship business? "Hello, ponies. We need Rarity and Applejack for VERY important Friendship business." Rainbow Dash said. They all started trotting away... "Do you need to find Gohan?" Starlight asked. "Why would we? He's not important." Rainbow Dash said. "But... Why does he have a throne, then?" Starlight asked. They just ignored her from there. "I have to say, I'm really not as impressed with your friends as the rest of Equestria is." Trixie said. "Well, the two aliens are an exception. Flying without wings? Moving stuff without magic?" She added. "I have to talk to Twilight!" Starlight said, rushing to the castle. Let's check in on Goten. "Gohan?" He asked, opening the door to their home. He wasn't there. 'I should be able to sense him from anywhere on this world... Right?' Goten thought. So he started looking all over Equestria. 'Gohan should know the answer... He's always got the answer!' He thought. Back to Starlight. She tried opening the doors to the castle... But it was locked. Starlight knocked now. "Twilight? Hello?" She asked. Spike opened a small hatch in the door. "What you YOU want? Twilight's VERY busy!" He yelled. Rude! "Spike, I really need to speak with her." Starlight said. "Make an appointment! She's a princess, after all!" Spike yelled, slamming the hatch shut. Starlight knocked again, puzzled by his odd behavior. "What's wrong with you? Why are you being so-" Starlight said before- "Rude?" Twilight asked, opening the door. Spike was standing on top of a stool. "I think a certain dragon didn't get his NAP today." Twilight scolded. Spike got off the stool and dragged it away. "Yeah, right. Whatever." Spike said. "Sorry. He's been acting a little off all day." Twilight said. "He's not the only one. Everypony's acting a little strange today." Starlight said. "Yes, it's definitely been one of those days! How are you?" Twilight asked. "Not great, actually. You're probably wondering why I'm back from the village so early." Starlight said. "I didn't want to bring it up, but yeah, it did seem strange. Did it not go well?" Twilight said. "The townsponies kept asking me things, like they expected me to be in charge again. But being a leader is the LAST thing I should ever be. So we left. Very suddenly. In a literal puff of smoke." Starlight said. "Wow, you should definitely never go back to that village." Twilight said uncharacteristically. "What?" Starlight asked, genuinely confused. Then Goten came flying in. "Starlight, I can't find Gohan ANYWHERE in Equestria!" He said. "Y-You can't?" Starlight asked. "I looked under and over every rock, building, pony, pebble, and city! He's nowhere! And I can't sense him either!" Goten said. "Maybe he's in the Land of the Kais?" Starlight asked. "Ohh. Then he would've left a note... Oh well. Hey Twilight!" Goten said. Something was off about her too. "Yeah... Hey." Twilight said. "I barely recognized you with the weak power level and the dark ki and... The strange ani...mosity... And... Wait..." Goten said before putting on a mean face. "I have some very important friendship business to get to, so can I leave-" "SHORYUKEN!" Goten yelled, fucking uppercutting the fuck out of Twilight. Well, more like an uppercut turned horizontal. She barged through the doors of the throne room, and stopped when she hit the wall. Cracking it. "GOTEN! Why did you do that!?" Starlight screamed. "I am the Princess of Friendship, how dare you-" "-Princess of about to get a royal beating! Or should I say prince!?" Goten interrupted. "What are you going on about!?" Starlight asked. Goten blasted Twilight again with a minor ki blast, and... And... "A changeling!?" Starlight asked. "THEY'RE BACK!?" She screamed. To Where and Back Again Pt. 2"What's a changeling?" Goten asked. "We've been caught!" 'Fluttershy' said, turning into a changeling. Everyone else did, actually. "Ohnoohnohnoohno!" Starlight repeated. "Get them!" A changeling yelled. The seven changelings all got into a jumping battle pose and- Goten just blasted them all. Anticlimactic as hell. He left all but one. He body slammed him! Broke two legs. Brutal. "Where's Twilight!?" He yelled. "Please... Please don't kill me!" The changeling begged. "Tell me where my friends are!" Goten said. "They're at the hive... Please... Spare me!" He begged. "Sorry, but no." Goten said, jumping off and blasting him too. Dead. Starlight gawked at the scene. "We need to find every capable pony to fight Queen Chrysalis!" She said. "We can't get the princesses..." Goten said. "Why not?" Starlight asked. "I can't sense them at all." Goten said. "This is NOT good!" Starlight said. "Let's go to Trixie! She's not a changeling!" Goten said. "There's only one way to find out..." Starlight said. *** Starlight and Goten were at Trixie's abode. "Trixie! Trixie!" Starlight whispered. Trixie stuck her head out the window. "What is it?" She asked. "We found out what's wrong about our friends!" Starlight said. "I have a whole list about things wrong about your friends. Let's discuss later." Trixie said. "No, Trixie!" Starlight yelled, dragging Trixie out of her abode with her magic. "We're in danger!" Starlight said. "How?" Trixie asked. "Changelings!" Goten said. ... "...Aaaaaand?" Trixie asked. Then Starlight had a realization. Is this really Trixie? Or is it a changeling? "Trixie, what did you tell me NEVER to tell another pony?" Starlight asked. "If you dragged me out here to play guessing games, I will-" "AFTER we left the village, what did you say!?" Starlight interrupted. Trixie sighed and whispered into Starlight's ear. "Even Trixie makes mistakes." She whispered, then gave Starlight a cold stare. "ARE YOU HAPPY?" She sneered. Starlight sighed. "Good..." She said. "You're not one of them, good!" Goten said. "One of who?" Trixie asked. "A changeling." Goten said. "I think they've taken Princess Celestia, Luna, and Twilight!" Starlight said. "WHAT!?" Trixie exclaimed. "I know!" Starlight said. "What about Princess Cadence!? This is alicorn business, not unicorn business!" Trixie said. "That's right... Our best bet is to get to the Crystal Empire before the changelings do!" Starlight said. "There's no help coming from the Crystal Empire." A familiar voice rang. Goten, Trixie and Starlight all frantically looked around. Then, someone came out of some bushes. "Thorax!" Goten said. Trixie started screaming crazily. So Starlight put her in a noise cancelling barrier. "Yes..." Thorax said. "Your wings look... Different." Starlight said. It turns out, his wings were light blue and had little sparkles on them. "And your body's more blue than ever." Goten said. "I guess so." Thorax said. Starlight was joyous! Trixie kept screaming inside the barrier. "Shh! Thorax is a good changeling!" Goten said. Starlight took... A precaution. "How do I know you aren't some changeling PRETENDING to be Thorax?" She asked. "His ki's relatively the same, Starlight." Goten said. Trixie was screaming and kicking even louder. "And you were there when Gohan, him, and Spike defended me from the ponies of the Crystal Empire." Thorax said. "I guess that works." Starlight said. "Trixie, calm down! If he does anything I'm kicking his butt!" Goten said. "Uh..." Thorax said. "Not really, you aren't a bad guy." Goten said. Starlight released Trixie. "He's a reformed changeling." She said. Thorax walked up to Trixie with an open hoof. "Hi! It's a pleasure to meet..." He said, but Trixie was scared out of her mind. "I'm trusting Starlight and Goten, but maybe you stay over there for now? Okay?" Trixie asked. Thorax walked back to where he was. "What do you mean there's no help? Did the changelings get Cadence too?" Starlight asked. "They took Cadence, Shining Armor and Flurry Heart!" Thorax said. "They did WHAT!?" Goten asked. 'Nobody messes with my godniece! I think that's what that's called. Actually, now that I think about it, I'm hungry...' He thought. "I know! Sunburst sent me here to get Twilight, but... It sounds like it's too late for that too!" Thorax said. "Not yet, we still have Goten! And if we can find Gohan." Starlight said. "That's the thing... There's something else the changelings have." Thorax said. "What is it?" Starlight asked. "...Gohan was part of the attack on the Crystal Empire." Thorax said. .... "WHAAAAAAT!?" Starlight, Trixie and Goten asked. "The Crystal Heart was able to keep the changelings out... Until Gohan came and shattered the... Barrier." Thorax said. "Why would my brother ever do that!?" Goten asked. "I-I don't know! He didn't seem like himself, though..." Thorax said. "B-But Goten's just as strong... Right?" Trixie asked. "Trixie, he's a Super Saiyan 4, and I can't even go Super Saiyan 2! We are definitely not going to win!" Goten said. "Then we need all the magic we can get, and every capable magic user is taken!" Trixie said. "You know, whenever ponies talk about powerful magic, they always leave me out. If I weren't so evolved, I might take it so personally." Discord said. He was knitting a bunny on top of Trixie's coach. "Discord!" Goten said. "Well, isn't this quite the combination of secondary characters?" Discord asked. "How do we know he's actually Discord?" Starlight asked. Discord gave Starlight a 'ARE you kidding me?' Face and snapped his fingers. He made the flowers dance, he made the fucking tree turn into a giant clock, he made the place a soapland, Big Bird was walking around, Spider-Man was swinging around and god knows what else. "Shall I continue?" Discord asked. "No." Goten said. Discord reversed everything. "Where are Twilight and the girls?" He asked. "That's the thing! The changelings took everyone! Twilight, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Apple-" "THEY TOOK FLUTTERSHY!?" Discord interrupted Goten. "Yes!" Starlight said. "Where?" Discord asked, with snake eyes. Clearly, not amused for shit. Angry as hell. "The changeling kingdom. With you on our side-" Starlight said, before Discord snapped his fingers. They were all in a forest for some reason, with bags of stuff on everyone. "Hm... Odd... I was trying to take us right to Fluttershy but there IS no Fluttershy." Discord said, laying his eyes on the ground looking for her. "I think I have a good idea where she might be...!" Trixie said nervously. The changeling kingdom! "Oh, this is so strange. We're here, and that's there! And I clearly meant for us to be there and not here." Discord said. "Oh, I-I can expla-" Thorax said, before- "Oh, well. If at first you don't succeed..." Discord said, about to snap his fingers. Starlight used her magic to stop that... "Maybe we should come up with a plan first?" She asked. "I can't sense Gohan in there..." Goten said. Discord blew her magic off his hand. "A what?" He asked. "You know, figuring out the best way to do something BEFORE you actually do it." Trixie said. Discord laughed. "Oh ho, that's adorable. But you see, unlike you, I can do anything." He said proudly. "Uh, actually-" "That's all very nice, but really a waste of time. We have me. And what else could we possibly need?" Discord interrupted Thorax. "My brother!" Goten said. "Oh, yes. Right." Discord said. "A draconequus with magic AND half a brain might help." Trixie sneered. "Why are you here again? I mean, it's not like you're going to stop the changelings by pulling a rabbit out of a hat." Discord said, pulling a Trixie out of her hat- Wait, what? "At least MY magic can DO something." Discord said. "The thing about magic here is-" "Like this!" Discord interrupted Thorax, again. He snapped his fingers and made a pigasus appear. He also had knight stuff on. He rode the pigasus. "For Fluttershy!" Discord yelled as he flew towards the hive. But as soon as they weren't above ground, Discord's pigasus disappeared. Discord nearly fell off! He grabbed the cliff and got back on. He tried sending another pigasus to go, but it just poof! Vanished! "I've been trying to tell you!" Thorax said. "Nothing other than changeling magic works here. Chrysalis' throne is carved from an ancient dark stone that soaks up outside magic the same way changelings soak up love. It's how she keeps the hive safe." He said. "That doesn't mean it can absorb life, does it?" Goten asked. "I'm not sure.... I don't think so." Thorax said. "Then let me try." Goten said, firing a minor ki blast at the changeling hive. Made a small rock explode... Didn't vanish... "Yay! My stuff works!" Goten cheered. "That's no fair, why does he get to keep his powers!?" Discord said. "I don't USE magic." Goten said. "So... What are WE doing here!?" Trixie asked. "Without magic, I have no idea." Starlight said. "I can't go in there myself!" Goten said. "But we'll just pull you down if we come with you." Trixie said. "Oh... This isn't going to be as fun as I thought..." Goten said. "Why don't you just blow it up? We know you can destroy Equestria as it is." Discord said. "Our friends are in there, they'd die!" Goten said. "Oh, right." Discord said. "It's okay Goten. We believe in you!" Starlight said. "Don't you remember the last time he was against us? I didn't even stand a chance!" Goten said. "I'm sorry we have to burden you, and I would prefer it if I could just waltz in and save Fluttershy, but you're the only one left." Discord said. Goten sighed. "Okay... Wish me luck." He said, jumping off the cliff. "Good luck." Everyone said. He dashed towards the hive at breakneck speeds. It was so fast that the changelings couldn't even see him. He jumped into the hive quickly. Upon entry he- 'What the heck is this?' He thought. This whole thing was like a shifting maze! And then the entrance behind Goten shut. "Well, there goes my way out." He muttered. There were opening and closing holes everywhere. It was pure pandemonium. 'Okay so a few of them are behind that one, that one, that one... Ooh! That one has nobody behind it!' Goten thought, jumping through said hole. Now he was in some sort of staircase maze! Goten could sense a few familiar ki somewhere... But with this weird maze it would be hard to find being stealthy. He flew down some stairs which magically went up for some fucking reason. He got to a dead end which just turned into a path. 'Okay, that's just too confusing for-' "HEY!" Someone yelled from behind. Goten looked behind to see three changelings. "Trespasser!" One yelled. "Get t-" Another yelled before- Ah. Oh. Ohhh. Goten instantly knocked them all out with punches. 'Okay, now I have this on my hands...' He thought as he jumped away. 'They know I'm here, I guess.' He added. More and more changelings started to appear. "Wee-woo.... Wee-woo..." One started saying nervously. Goten got out of sight then. He hid behind a rock. 'Now what do I do!?' He thought. "WEE-WOO WEE-WOO!" A changeling yelled, pointing at Goten. He acted fast, punching him out of consciousness and maneuvering away. 'Dang! I don't know where I can-' He thought before... Goten stood in front of a whole army of changelings. He got into a fighting pose. "I guess THIS is how it's gonna go down!" He yelled, charging at them. *** The four left behind were just sitting around. "Well THIS is boring." Discord said. "I feel kinda bad for letting Goten go alone." Starlight said. "Well, what do you expect? We can't do anything to help." Trixie said. "Wait... Thorax, if the throne's destroyed, then can we get our magic back?" Starlight asked. "Yes!" Thorax said. "That's a horrible idea! How are you gonna do that with his brother on their side?" Discord asked. "We go with him." Starlight said. "How?" Discord asked. "We walk." Trixie said, starting to walk towards the hive. Everyone followed her. "But I haven't walked that far in a millennia!" Discord said, pulling his eye sockets. "Ugh." Everyone said. *** "Oh, I don't know how any of you manage not being able to disappear and reappear whenever you want!" Discord complained. They were all still walking. "I'm sure Gohan manages just fine without it." Starlight said. "I for one definitely miss for YOU to disappear!" Trixie said. "Give Discord a break, none of us knew we weren't able to use magic." Starlight said. "I did." Thorax said. They were very close to the hive. "If we get separated, it might make sense to have a way to make sure we are who we say we are." Starlight said. "Oh! Like a secret code! How about if I say "we are" and you say "doomed"? Or you say "rescue" and I say..." Discord said, tripping over a rock. "How about if we say 'klutzy' and you say 'draconequus?'" Trixie asked. "'Klutzy draconequus.' Works for me." Starlight said. Discord got himself up. "I'll definitely remember it." Thorax said. They entered the hive without being seen. Upon entry, they- Goddamnit, this thing again. "Okay. I am DEFINITELY glad you came. I don't think we'd be able to find our way without you." Trixie said. "How did Goten even get past this?" Starlight asked. "You definitely wouldn't." Thorax said. Then the hole behind them shut. "Uh... Where's the way out?" Trixie asked. "It's a changeling hive. It shifts and changes like we do, and we're the only ones who can navigate it. It's total chaos to non-changelings." Thorax said, walking through an open hole. Everyone followed. The hole almost shut Discord's tail with it, but he pulled it out in time. "Well, it's decent chaos. I don't know if I'd call it 'total.'" Discord said. *** The group walked down a set of stairs that magically lead up to another part of this strange hive. "Are we sure that I'll get my magic back when we destroy this throne thingy?" Discord asked. "If Thorax is right, then yes." Starlight said. "Well THAT'S reassuring." Discord said. "And how are we supposed to destroy the throne when we find it?" Trixie asked. "We get Goten to do it!" Starlight said. "And where is he?" Discord asked. "I... Don't know." Starlight said. "Well THAT'S reassuring." Trixie sneered. Then Discord started rummaging through Trixie's bag of stuff. "I don't suppose you brought any throne-destroying tools along with these useless sideshow props." Discord said. "Asks the Lord of Chaos who can't go for a walk without whining nonstop!" Trixie sneered. "Yes, but when the throne is destroyed, I'll be able to rip the very fabric of reality to save our friends, while YOU'LL still be a self-absorbed, below-average illusionist!" Discord said. I will call that a roast. "Self-absorbed!? Why, you...!" Trixie yelled, but then.... Starlight jumped in between the two. "Cut. It. Out! I'm just barely keeping it together, and it would be WONDERFUL if you two could actually try to help instead of bickering like foals!" She scolded, starting to walk away. "Okay." Discord said, defeated, and following. "How can we help?" Trixie said, defeated as well and following. The three were walking up a staircase. "Don't ask me! I couldn't even handle giving advice at the Sunset Festival, and I HAD magic then! And the three of us are as good as useless! At least Thorax knows where we're going." Starlight said. "Uh, guys?" Thorax said. "I think we're lost." He added. They were at a dead end. "Oh, great. We might as well just sit here and wait for the changelings to soak up all of our love or whatever gross thing it is that they do. How often do you all get hungry?" Trixie asked, sitting down. "Actually, I haven't been since I met Gohan. And changelings are ALWAYS hungry. We can never get enough love." Thorax said. "Well, that's a big oxymoron." Discord said. "And that's just super-" Trixie said, before- "But you aren't hungry AT ALL now?" Starlight asked. "Huh. Once I made a few friends, I guess I just sort of forgot about the whole feeding thing." Thorax said, flapping his wings quickly. "Is that about the same time your wings changed?" Starlight asked. "I guess so." Thorax said. Then Discord yawned obnoxiously. "While I would love to sit around chitchatting about feeding and not feeding..." Discord said, raising his voice at the end. "I have a FLUTTERSHY to save!" He yelled. It echoed all throughout the hive. "Can you PLEASE lower your voice!? You're gonna get us all captured!" Trixie asked. "Oh, you keep saying that, but I haven't seen an actual changeling since we got into this hive." Discord said. And then there was quite the distant buzzing. Loud. "W-What's that?" Trixie asked. "A CHANGELING PATROL!" Thorax said. He started hyperventilating. "This seems like one of those moments where we need a plan." Discord said. "What kind of plan?! We have no magic, and it's not like my illusions are gonna save us!" Trixie said. Then, Starlight had a plan! "Do you have any of your smoke bombs?" She asked. "Are you kidding?" Trixie asked with a smirk. *** Now, 'Trixie' was the last pony there. The changeling patrol found her! "Looking for somepony?" 'Trixie' asked, smirking. The five changelings all charged at 'Trixie,' but she threw a smoke bomb and disappeared. The changelings looked around, confused. "Is that the best you've got?!" 'Trixie' taunted from another platform. She starting laughing at their failure. The changelings started blindly chasing her, as she kept poofing and poofing away! Discord and Starlight watched from a hole in the ground as the changelings were running after 'Trixie.' "Hm. I'll take it." Trixie said behind them. There were two Trixies now. "Uh... 'Klutzy...'" Starlight said nervously. "Draconequus!" They both said. One was Thorax. He turned into himself again. "Ugh. I really think we need a new code word!" Discord complained. But then they heard more buzzing... Coming their way! "Wait... Do you guys hear that?" Starlight asked. "Hear what? More changelings coming!?" Trixie asked nervously. "No... Well, yes, but its coming from down there..." Starlight said, pointing down from the floating earth they were on. Trixie and the others looked down. They saw a ton of changelings charging at something! And heard something else... ".....atatatatatatatatatatatatata..." It repeated. "Actually, I can hear it too." Thorax said. "Me too." Discord said. "Me too!" Trixie said. Then the the fucking wall exploded. Revealing a Super Saiyan Goten beating the fuck out of the changeling army. "ATATATATATATATATATATATATA!" He kept screaming as he punches and kicked all the changelings in his way. Just like his dad... And Gohan. Aaaand Tien. And me that one time I tried punching for a long period of time. "Goten's still here!" Starlight said. "The let's get going!" Trixie said. The four started walking around this weird maze trying to get to Goten. He was still pulverizing the fucking changelings. A million of them or something. And they were still coming! Well, a lot of them ran away. What a bunch of pussies. Goten finally punched the final changeling in his way out of commission. "Wow." He said, looking behind him. He left a whole trail of changelings. "I wonder if a few of them are actually dead..." He said to himself, reverting back to base form. (He didn't need Super Saiyan, but fuck it. Made him seem cooler.) The group finally got to Goten. "Starlight? What are you doing here?" He asked. "We came because we felt bad for just letting go alone. Also, we have a better plan." Starlight said. "If you destroy the throne, we get our magic back!" Discord said. "Ohh! Good plan!" Goten said. "Now all we need to do is get to Queen Chrysalis, and destroy that throne!" Starlight said. *** The five were hiding behind a staircase to some sort of entrance. It was guarded by many changelings. "Goten, can you take them out?" Starlight asked. "No way. I don't know about me, but you all will be captured if we're caught!" Goten said. "Then how do we get through?" Starlight asked. "My illusions won't work, and I'm fresh out of smoke bombs." Trixie said. "I have a good idea!" Goten said. "And what would THAT be?" Discord asked. *** Discord stood in front of the changelings! And he tapped a microphone Trixie happened to have... "Hello, changelings and changelettes! Believe me, I was just as surprised as you are that I'm here! When I heard that I'd be playing for a bunch of changelings, I was beside myself! Then I realized, it was just one of you." Discord said. Then a rimshot played. The changelings all snarled at him and approached him slowly. Discord nervously laughed. "But, seriously, this isn't the toughest crowd I've ever been in front of. But it's definitely the easiest to bug!" Discord said. Nothing changed. But a rimshot played. "'To bug?' Is this thing on?" Discord asked, tapping the microphone. They all cornered him. Trixie and Starlight moved through the entrance while they were distracted. "Fine, if you want to try, be my guest!" Discord said, throwing the microphone and running all over the place avoiding the changelings. "I can't believe that worked." Starlight whispered. Discord maneuvered so good that he lost them. "It is certainly a pleasure to have such dedicated fans. I'll have to come back with some new material after I rescue Fluttershy." He said. Then he heard whimpering... And crying. "Please help!" He followed to noise to see- "Fluttershy!" He said. "Discord! I'm stuck!" Fluttershy said, showing her tail's under a rock. "You certainly are. And I should probably help you get free. But... oh-ho-ho-ho-ho..." Discord laughed. "But what?" Fluttershy asked. "But you are obviously NOT Fluttershy!" Discord said. "Oh." Fluttershy said. "I mean, I'm separated from the group and just happen to come across the one pony I care most about? I can smell this setup a mile away." Discord said. Fluttershy started crying. "No. You're right. There's no way you should trust me. Just go find the others. I understand!" She said, crying a fountain of tears. "Oh come on!" Discord said. Then there were A ton of Fluttershys crying behind him. "We're probably all changelings. You shouldn't rescue any of us. Unless, you think, maybe one of us might be the REAL Fluttershy. Oh, that certainly would be a nasty changeling trick, wouldn't it?" The first one said. "I'm the real one." They all repeated. Discord was just confused at this point. "I'm the real-" BOOOM! Everyone died. The end. No, just kidding! All the changelings died. Discord ain't dead. "Goten? How did you know?" Discord asked. "None of them had the same power level as Fluttershy! It's like Yamcha!" Goten said. "I don't know who this 'Yamcha' is, but it sounds disappointing." Discord said. "It really is." Goten said. "Now, let's get going!" He said. *** "Where's Discord and Goten?" Starlight asked. "We can't go back, the place is probably full of guards right now!" Thorax said. "But we need Goten! And once he destroys the throne, he and Discord could take out the entire changeling army with a sneeze!" Starlight said. "Hello?" Discord called. "Fellow rescuers?" He asked. Thorax, Trixie and Starlight all came out. "We can't stay here. We gotta find the throne." Thorax said. "Ooh! I heard some of the changelings who were chasing me say that they know where it is!" Discord said. "Where's Goten?" Starlight asked. "Who?" Discord asked. "Klutzy?" Trixie asked. "Hmm? Oh. Yeah. I can be klutzy!" Discord said. "Hiya!" Goten yelled, kneeing him in the neck. 'Discord' turned into a knocked out changeling. "Did you honestly believe for a second that was me?" Discord asked. "We did." Trixie said. "Let's get moving! I sense a really high power level nearby. And I wanna fight it!" Goten said. "Also an army of changelings." He added. *** The group made it to some sort of egg thing! Where the ponies they knew where trapped in some sort of gooey egg! Oh, and they did that after knocking out a few armies. "There's Fluttershy!" Discord said, pointing at her. Then they all heard cackling. "A little monkey, all by himself." A female voice said. "What do you mean? There are fi-" Trixie said before all of them were encased in a egglike thingy! It was green. Goten acted quickly, getting himself out of the fucking thing. Then he saw his team all trapped with his known friends! And Thorax was pulled into it too! Chrysalis emerged from behind a Celestia and Luna egg. "Oh how will I ever prevent this daring rescue?" She asked. "You can't." Goten said nonchalantly. "And how do you figure?" Chrysalis asked. "Do you even know who I am?" Goten asked. "A monkey who dresses like that other monkey that disgraced me!?" Chrysalis asked angrily. "I'm... His brother?" Goten asked. "Wait, WHAT!?" Chrysalis asked. "N-No matter." She said, getting down from the eggs and standing on the weirdly liquid ground. "I've been training, and you can't beat me this time!" She said. "I don't think so." Goten said, getting into a fighting pose. "You little...!" Chrysalis said. She blasted a green blast from her horn. Goten dodged out of the way, but Chrysalis started flying straight at him. He blocked an incoming bodyslam and was launched a bit towards the wall. He stopped before he smashed into the wall. 'She's strong!' He thought. He used to wall to jump back at her. Chrysalis fired many blasts from her horn, all of which Goten dodged. He threw a fist at Chrysalis, and she blocked with her corroded forehoof. She did some sort of flip to kick Goten down to the ground. He landed safely. "How was that? Your inferior power is no match for me!" Chrysalis said. "You make me excited! But going full power would just make this boring." Goten said. "Oh please, like turning your hair yellow would increase your power so dramatically." Chrysalis said. "You're not going to believe this, but it does." Goten said. He quickly turned Super Saiyan. "You still don't stand a chance against me!" Chrysalis said. "I'll admit, you are strong. But not as strong as me!" Goten said, powering up even more. "Then come at me! You won-" Chrysalis said before getting a beat down! Goten pummeled her repeatedly before performing a double axe handle on her, sending her crashing into the ground. He wasn't done yet, he stomped on her, or dropkicked her really. Remember Broly? Yeah, what he did to Goku. Once. Goten grabbed her backhooves and swung her around. She was hurled at the wall. She coughed up a bit of green changeling blood. "W-What!?" She yelled. Goten shot the meanest of looks at her. "Nobody hurts my friends and gets away with it!" He yelled. Chrysalis grinned, though. In fact, she started laughing. "What are you laughing at!?" Goten asked. "Your imminent doom." Chrysalis said. "What are you-" Goten said before realizing someone was behind him. Someone very familiar and strong... And uncharacteristically dark. He turned around to see Gohan. With a green hue in his eyes. "Crapbaskets." Goten said. Author's Note I should give Chrysalis' power level. It's 400,000,000. To Where and Back Again Pt. 3"Gohan!" Goten said with fear. "You see... I have your brother under my spell. He does anything I tell him to do." Chrysalis said. "You're lying!" Goten said. "Am I? Am I really?" Chrysalis asked. "Slave, kill him!" She commanded. Gohan got into a fighting pose. 'He's serious.' Goten thought, getting into a fighting pose. This wasn't training... This was a death match. Except Goten was gonna die. 'How am I going to beat Gohan!? This is a suicide mission!' He thought. Sweat steamed down his face. There was utter silence. A drop of sweat fell off Goten's chin. Once it finally reached the liquid ground.... "Kamehameha!" Goten yelled, firing the Kamehameha! Gohan canceled it out with a Kamehameha of his own. He didn't yell anything, though. 'I can't win this, how am I going to even save them?' Goten thought as he started to run around Gohan. Gohan barely moved a muscle as Goten kept circling around him. "Hurry up and kill him already!" Chrysalis yelled. Goten finally jumped at Gohan, and threw a punch. Gohan blocked with a single arm. Goten grunted before throwing a barrage of punches. Gohan blocked easily without making many movements. Goten did a flip and performed an axe kick, which Gohan blocked again. Goten backflipped for some distance before flying straight at Gohan again. He was about to strike... Before feeling a sharp pain in his stomach. Gohan uppercutted him in the stomach. He arched over before flying straight at the ceiling. Chrysalis cackled as Gohan teleported above him and performed a double axe handle on him, sending him at the ground. Goten landed on all fours and cracked the ground beneath the liquid. He looked up to see Gohan flying down at him at breakneck speeds, ready to deliver a punch. Goten managed to move out of the way, avoiding the death punch. He used his hand to curve his momentum and dropkicked Gohan right in the cheek, sending him away a few feet. 'Got a hit in... But that punch really knocked the wind out of me... I can't believe he's been holding back on me in training!' Goten thought. Goten managed to stand on his feet again. Gohan just stood there, looking blankly at him. "Gohan, snap out of it!" Goten yelled. "Nice try, but I've corrected my mistakes from last time. No matter what you do, the seal will never be broken!" Chrysalis yelled before cackling. "What!?" Goten asked. "Now, attack! Attack ruthlessly!" Chrysalis commanded. Gohan charged at Goten. Goten tensed up as he was charging at him. 'Please... Training, do me good!' He prayed as he charged at Gohan too. The droplets from the ground rose. Everything was in slow-mo as the two were centimeters away from each other. The real struggle started from there. Gohan punched Goten in the face, sending him flying. Goten did a backflip before recovering in the air, and a Gohan was still charging at him. He crossed his arms together as Gohan elbowed the middle of the cross. It hurt like hell, but it prevented more damage. Gohan was pushing Goten through layers and layers of the hive. 'Why are you even trying!? You know you'll die!' Goten thought as he managed to get out of the drag. The two were now in another maze of the hive. And part of Goten's orange shirt was ripped. 'You can still do it! Try the new strategy!' He thought. Goten flew up at Gohan, who expected yet another punch, but this time, Goten kicked him in the stomach. He used the time to fly up a bit and fire a quick Kamehameha at full power. Gohan was blasted through the wall again, back to the original battleground. He crushed the blast in between his hands. 'See, it worked!' Goten thought. 'Yeah! For now!' He countered himself as he flew after Gohan. Goten tried slamming his body into Gohan, the ultimate strategy. Gohan dodged, and grabbed Goten's foot. Gohan started to brutalize Goten by slamming him on the ground multiple times. Finally, after messing up his clothes a bit more, Gohan started spinning Goten around before hurling him. Goten smashed into Starlight's egg, freeing her. Gohan flew after Goten, not ending it there. 'Why bother anymore? You know he's not even Super Saiyan yet.' Goten thought as he recovered on the little ground on the wall. He braced for impact as Gohan was flying at him. 'You have to save them! You're the last hope!' He thought. Boom! Debris flew everywhere from that corner! Starlight managed to get herself up. But she found herself trapped by the liquid below. Chrysalis cackled as she flew up to her throne. "Well, well, well. The Princess of Friendship's sole pupil. Honestly, I didn't think YOU were worth replacing with one of my drones." Chrysalis said. Starlight struggled to free herself from the goo. "You won't get away with this! Goten will beat you!" She said. "I already have. Nopony is coming to save you. Your little squad was it. And now, there's just you. Even that traitor Thorax can't help you now!" Chrysalis said. Thorax "How? Goten can beat you!" Starlight yelled. "Why yes he can. But..." Chrysalis said. Another explosion of debris could be heard from the walls. Gohan punched Goten in the stomach, making him cough. Goten tried to recover, but then Gohan just punched him down to the ground, beside Starlight. Goten managed to get himself up, grabbing a wound on his shoulder. "My shoulder!" He cried in pain, before panting. "Gohan!? You...!" Starlight yelled. "Starlight... I can't beat him." Goten said. Gohan flew up to beside Chrysalis. "He's just under my spell. With him, I can take over the entire universe! All that love... It's fantastic!" Chrysalis yelled. 'SAVE THEM!' Goten thought. 'YOU CAN'T!' He thought. "Chrysalis...!" Starlight yelled with anger. "There isn't really any use resisting. You honestly think you can defeat me?" Chrysalis taunted. "I can..." Goten said bravely. "No matter how strong Gohan is..." He continued. "There will always be a way!" He yelled, powering up. "Futile. It's so sad, really. You think there's a way for you?" Chrysalis asked. "I'll take my brother's place and defeat you... No matter what!" Goten yelled, charging at them. Gohan caught his fist. "End him already." Chrysalis said. Gohan punched him in the gut again, sending him upward. He then appeared behind Goten, and put him in a full nelson! (You know, I would make a gay joke, butt fuck it.) "What?" Goten asked as he looked behind him. Gohan and Goten were flying at top speed straight at the ground! The head on collision (literally) caused a huge debris explosion in the ground. Gohan jumped back a few feet. Goten jumped out of the tiny crater to throw a few ki blasts. Gohan swatted them all away and flew straight at Goten. The two were in yet another struggle. "Even with your pathetic little attempt to save your friends, everything went according to plan." Chrysalis said. "What plan? Why did you do all this!?" Starlight asked. "So I could feed, of course! By replacing the most beloved figures in Equestria, my drones will be able to store all the love meant for them and return it here to me. Everypony will do as I command, and my subjects and I will feed on their love for generations!" Chrysalis declared before cackling. "... What if you didn't have to?" Starlight asked. "RIDICULOUS!" Chrysalis yelled, stomping the ground as she flew at Starlight. "The hunger of changelings can never be satisfied!" "Exactly! Thorax left the hive and made a friend. He SHARED love, and now he doesn't NEED to feed. You don't have to live your lives starving all the time!" Starlight said.. Chrysalis was really triggered! "You know NOTHING of the changelings or what it takes to be their queen!" She yelled, using her magic to slam Starlight against the wall. "I decide what is best for my subjects, not some mewling grub!" Chrysalis yelled. "LEAVE HER ALONE!" Goten yelled, kneeing Chrysalis in the cheek, sending her flying at her throne. "Why you...!" Chrysalis yelled. Gohan flew up to beside her again. Goten was panting heavily, and was even more injured than before. Gohan was relatively okay. Nothing much on him. "How much more do you plan to resist?" Chrysalis asked, regaining her composure. "Until we win!" Goten yelled, making his aura flare. Starlight just felt useless at that moment. "You can't, don't you see?' Chrysalis asked. Goten noticed the throne. 'What a weird thr- That's it!' He thought. "I will defeat you!" Goten yelled. "You are powerless alone. What do you expect to happen?" Chrysalis asked. "Not alone... I can't beat you alone. But I can with my friends!" Goten yelled, pointing his fingers at his face. "Your friends can't even use magic. What do you-" "SOLAR FLARE!" Goten yelled, unleashing the Solar Flare! The blinding light was even too much for Gohan! Starlight couldn't see either. "ARGH! WHAT IS THIS!?" Chrysalis screamed. She felt herself be punched away from her throne. "HA!" Goten screamed, firing a powerful blast at the throne! Destroying it completely! Gohan could finally see again. So could everyone else affected. "NO! My throne!" Chrysalis said. "She can't nullify our magic!" Starlight said. Gohan had a mean face, and charged at Goten. Goten blocked one punch, but he wasn't ready for the next onslaught of punches and kicks. Once he finished that Killer Instinct combo, he punched Goten straight at the ground. He fired a Kamehameha at Goten while he laid there! "GOTEN!" Starlight screamed. BOOM! Debris everywhere! Chrysalis cackled. "It doesn't matter now! You may have destroyed the throne, but you can't defeat me now!" She yelled. The debris died down... Goten was in there... Super Saiyan... And a broken arm. Seems familiar. Starlight started to cry. 'I can't give up now...' Goten thought. He grasped the ground with his good and bloodied hand. He got himself up. 'Equestria's depending on me... My friends are depending on me...' He thought. He stared Gohan in the face. "AND GOHAN'S DEPENDING ON ME! HRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAGGH!" Goten screamed, powering up in pure rage. Starlight was amazed at what she saw... https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/dragonballfanon/images/b/b5/Tumblr_o83je8d0Um1s2wkkxo5_500.gif/revision/latest?cb=20170305215311&path-prefix=es And finally, with one flash of yellow light... The aura was just around Goten. Lightning sparks flashed around him. Gohan remained unimpressed... Mostly because of his mind control. "Is he...? A Super Saiyan 2?" Starlight muttered. Goten gave Gohan a cold stare. 'I will save you, brother.' He thought. "END HIM ALREADY!" Chrysalis demanded. Although he only had one hand... He wound it up. He was gonna do it. "Kamehame..." He yelled. Gohan grunted and charged a Kamehameha in his hands. "HAA!" Goten screamed, unleashing his blast at Gohan. Gohan unleashed his blast too. Chrysalis and Starlight watched in awe as they saw the power struggle. It remained in the middle. Goten grunted loudly as he kept trying to beat out the other blast. 'Don't give up... Don't give up! DO IT!' Goten thought. Goten put even more power into his blast! The blast started to push Gohan's back! 'Yes! Almost there!' He thought. But... Play the 'oh no!' Music! "HA!" Gohan yelled, turning Super Saiyan. 'Oh no... OH NO!' Goten thought. Well... We're fucked. The blast easily pushed Goten's back. "YES! KILL HIM!" Chrysalis commanded. "NO!" Starlight yelled. The blast was extremely close to Goten. He started to cry in shame... 'I couldn't do it... I couldn't save Equestria... I couldn't save my friends... I couldn't even save Gohan.' He thought, closing his eyes. "Don't give up, Goten!" A familiar voice called. Goten opened up his eyes. "G.... Gohan?" He asked. Gohan flew down beside him. "W-What are you... H-How did...?" Goten stuttered. "Show them our combined power, Goten! Or else we can't win!" Gohan yelled, turning Super Saiyan and cupping his hands together. "B-But you... He..." Goten thought. "Kamehameha!" Gohan screamed. Now there were two Gohans. Which one was real...? The Bros. Kamehameha was actually pushing Gohan's back! "W-What!? H-How are you... HOW ARE YOU BEATING HIM WITH ONE HAND!?" Chrysalis asked. She and Starlight couldn't see the other Gohan. "Because ~~this hand is my fapping hand!~~ GOOD ALWAYS BEATS EVIL!" Goten screamed, putting even more power into the blast! Every last ounce of his strength was put into it. Gohan was overwhelmed by this strength and... And... "AAAAAHHHHHHH!" He screamed as he lost the beam struggle. *** Goten opened his eyes... He saw a Gohan... Injured, a bit bloodied, and with a torn up gi. "I'm proud of you, Goten!" He said. Goten was genuinely confused. "What... What happened?" He asked. He was completely healed. "You turned Super Saiyan 2 and beat Gohan!" Starlight said "Where are we?" Goten asked, looking around. The hive was destroyed by the awesome beam struggle. And... "Why is Thorax so different?" Goten asked, noticing King Thorax. "We defeated the changelings with no magic whatsoever... Like usual." Starlight said. "And you freed me from my mind control! Thanks a lot, buddy!" Gohan said, giving Goten a big hug. "Goten and Starlight are the real MVPs today!" Rainbow Dash said. Everyone started cheering for them. I mean, the new changelings, Thorax, the ponies and even Flurry. Gohan broke the hug. "Now, let's go home. I bet we're all pretty-" Gohan said, before- Chrysalis was still alive! She emerged from some remains of the hive and hissed. "You tricked me! You deceiving monkey!" Chrysalis yelled. "What?" Everyone started to ask. Gohan started to sweat. "You pretended to be under my control, I should have known!" Chrysalis said. "...You what?" Goten asked. "That doesn't matter now, Chrysalis." Celestia said. "You have five alicorns, two Super Saiyans, Discord, the elements bearers, and the entire changeling kingdom against you. You can't win!" Rainbow Dash said. Starlight stepped up to Chrysalis. "When Twilight and her friends defeated me, I chose to run away and seek revenge! You don't have to! You can be the leader your subjects deserve." She said, holding out a hoof. Chrysalis ain't having any of that. She slapped the hoof! "There is no revenge you could ever conceive of that will come close to what I will exact upon you one day, Starlight Glimmer!" She yelled, flying away. "Oh well. It's not like she can win next time." Gohan said. "Yeah. Speaking of which..." Starlight asked. "She said something about you tricking her?" Twilight asked. "What's that all about!?" Goten asked angrily. "Well... Uh..." Gohan said. Truth be told, Gohan was never under Chrysalis' control! He was fucking with her the whole time! And this was the best opportunity to get Goten to harness Super Saiyan 2. "Well? I'm askiolololo..." Goten said as he was knocked out by Gohan again. "Alright, I'll tell you guys the truth, but don't tell him, please. I wanted him to get the spotlight and get him to go Super Saiyan 2." Gohan said. "We won't tell him... But you did something great for the changelings by doing this, at least." Starlight said. "I mean, you were the one who got Thorax to be King." Gohan said. "Yeah, I know, bu-" And we'll end the story there. Author's Note Okay, my little 'marathon' might end here. So expect a new chapter in like, a week or two, or maybe tomorrow if I have the time. That's why it might end, not definitely.

The Planet Namek still has its dragon balls." Someone said. He was a blue midget with a big black nose. Guess who? Sorbet! "They were, but I'm still a bit worried, Sorbet." Another one said. This guy was more of a humanoid who had black lips and an overall light purple body. It was Tagoma. "About what?" Sorbet asked. "Is the resurrection of Lord Frieza really necessary for our army?" Tagoma asked. "You're still going on about that? It is necessary!" Sorbet said. "Our army found out that Lord Frieza and the Ginyu Force were defeated. Soon, a rebellion took place for the ownership of a planet or two. The internal leadership of the army fell apart." Sorbet said. "I did glance for Lord Frieza a while ago, but... I didn't think he was that impressive as he rarely showed up." Tagoma said. Sorbet grinned. "It was enough to show up rarely and pass on fear among his people." He said. "Is that so? Well, it sounds disappointing to have an annoying dictator as a leader who just all talk." Tagoma said. "What?" Sorbet asked. The door burst open. "What a pathetic thing to say!" Came a voice. It was Shisami, red giant with brown horns and the same brown nose as Sorbet. "Tagoma! To think Lord Frieza's revival will be witnessed by someone with such little faith in his power." Shisami said. "Shisami..." Tagoma said. "Lord Frieza's revival can be witnessed by you guys as well. We're landing!" Sorbet said. *** After many interrogations, murders and genocide, the group found the dragon balls. "Rise, Porunga!" Sorbet commanded. Out from the Namekian dragon balls came Porunga, Shenron on steroids. "I am the Eternal Dragon. State your wishes, and I shall grant them." Porunga said. "Wishes? We get more than one wish?" Sorbet asked. "Yes. Three in total." Porunga said. "Great! We can do other things after Lord Frieza is back!" Tagoma said. "I wish for Frieza! Bring him back to life!" Sorbet said. Porunga didn't grant the wish. He just stood there. "Bring Frieza back to life!" Sorbet repeated. ... "Are you deaf? You told us we could wish for anything!" Sorbet said. "Of course it can be done, but his body was cut to pieces and obliterated many years ago." Porunga said. *** "FRIEZAAAAAA!" Trunks yelled, swinging his sword down on Mecha Frieza. He was cut in half! Then into many more pieces before finally being blasted to smithereens. *** "I cannot restore it. There is little point to restoring his soul to that form." Porunga said. "What!? He would be in pieces? I haven't even considered that." Sorbet said. "We have three wishes. Wish for Lord Frieza, wish to put him back together and finally wish him back to life!" Tagoma said. "Huh? Dragon, can you will Frieza's remains here?" Sorbet asked. "Very well." Porunga said, and his eyes glowed red. Mecha Frieza's very few remains were brought there. "Put him back together again, please!" Sorbet said. "Very well." Porunga said, doing just that. Frieza wasn't in a metal thing anymore, he was in his final form. But dead. "And finally, for our last wish, bring him back to life!" Sorbet said. "As you wish." Porunga said, and did just that. Frieza was back... Porunga retreated back into the dragon balls, and they all flew up into the sky across Namek. Frieza's eyes opened! He sat up and looked around. "Lord Frieza! You're back!" Sorbet said. "What happened?" Frieza asked, inspecting his hands. "We brought you back to life." Sorbet said. "Extraordinary. Let's continue this back at the ship." Frieza said. *** Frieza was back in his first form. His armor was back, and the ship was in space. "It appears that I've become a bit rusty." He said. "It may take some time before I can exact my revenge." He added. "Revenge?" Sorbet asked. "You told me that Goku is dead, correct?" He asked. "Yes, my lord." Sorbet said. "But I know his son is still around. That brat killed me and took me back to hell! It makes sense that I exact revenge on those foolish monkeys!" Frieza said. "It appears both his sons are still around. On a planet named Equestria." Sorbet said. "Equestria, you say?" Frieza asked. "It will take about four months to get there, my lord." Sorbet said. "Perfect." Frieza said. "B-But Lord Frieza... Shouldn't we prioritize making the universe-" Sorbet said before a death stare was on him. Tagoma took the reigns from there. "Pardon me if this sounds out of line, but wouldn't it be wiser to simply ignore the two Saiyans? I mean, they must be weaklings if they're still children." Tagoma said. Frieza finger blasted Tagoma in the arm. "Silence!" He yelled, finger blasting Tagoma even more. He fell to his knees in pain. "He is comparable to Zarbon and Dodoria, correct?" Frieza asked. "It appears the Frieza Army has weakened during my brief absence." He said. "Over a decade..." Sorbet muttered. "How do you intend for the Frieza Army, the mightiest force in the universe, to continue to do their job when they cower at the thought of a few measly Saiyans!?" Frieza asked. He finger blasted Tagoma in the knee. Making him fall to the ground face first. "L-Lord Frieza... Please forgive me...." Tagoma begged. "Killing you immediately would bring me no entertainment. But as I have no need for weaklings, you may thus proceed to crawl on the floor like that for the rest of your days." Frieza said. The other soldiers in the room were sweating bullets. "L-Lord Frieza... The Saiyan, Son Gohan... It appears he has gone through massive changes." Sorbet said. "Oh? Enlighten me. Who is that brat?" Frieza asked. "He was part of thwarting your mission on Planet Namek." Sorbet said. "And can he turn Super Saiyan as well?" Frieza asked. "Well, yes. And our scouts reported that... Well, he has attained two transformations beyond that." Sorbet said. Frieza laughed. "I had assumed so. Of course they'd be stronger. I simply need to become stronger, then." He said. "This could been quite entertaining." He added. "Entertaining, sir?" Sorbet asked. "I haven't trained a day in my life. I am a natural born prodigy. Imagine how greatly my power level would skyrocket if I were to undergo training. If my estimations are correct, if I were to train hard for four months, I would be able to easily surpass those insects. I look forward to seeing the results in four months!" Frieza said, before laughing. OHOHOHOHOHO! *** Gohan and Goten were going home from school again. "Bye you guys!" Pinkie said. "Bye!" Gohan and Goten said. "Don't forget tomorrow is prom!" Rarity said. "Well, I know I'm not going." Goten said. "I didn't even plan to go either. But I do now." Gohan said, going into the portal. *** They were back in the pony world. "Welcome back." Twilight said. "Hm..." Gohan said, putting a hand to his chin. "What's wrong?" Twilight asked. "I don't know. I just really have a good feeling that something bad just happened." Gohan said. "Whatever it is, I'm sure it's fine." Twilight said. "Maybe... Oh well. Let's go home, Goten." Gohan said. "Yay!" Goten said. Author's Note As it turns out, I was able to make this one. Expect the next one tomorrow. Or in the morning, I don't know. It's really late. Oh, and, no Golden Frieza. Frieza's Revenge Pt. 2The next day... It's prom night! Well, not yet. School just ended. The Humane 7 and Gohan were heading to Rarity's for dresses and a suit. Goten was heading home, since... Well, he didn't give two shits about prom. "Bye! Have fun!" Goten said, entering the portal. "I've never been to a dance before!" Twilight said, as they all started walking towards Rarity's. "The last one was the Spring Fling. You've missed every one until now." Rainbow Dash said. "Gohan missed every one until today too!" Pinkie said. "No, he came to the Fall Formal last year." Sunset said. "That... Was mainly for the princess. I mean, you were-" "-I know." Sunset interrupted. "What happened?" Twilight asked. "I turned into a she-demon." Sunset said. "Oh. That." Twilight said. "And like almost every villain, I underestimated Gohan severely." Sunset said. "I think we all did." Applejack said. "We didn't expect him to defeat Rainbow 3-0 so easily." Pinkie said. "I told you not to bring that up!" Gohan said. "Wait, what?" Rainbow Dash asked. "I'm just as confused." Pinkie said. "Nevermind." Gohan said. "He's too humble." Sunset said. "Wait, why is he coming to prom now?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Guess who he's going out with~!" Pinkie said. "You don't know?" Fluttershy asked. "I honestly don't know either." Twilight said. "It's pretty obvious, come on!" Pinkie said. "I really don't know!" Rainbow Dash said. Gohan chuckled. "I didn't ask her." He said. "Oh, so someone asked Gohan out?" Twilight asked. "That's pretty obvious, he doesn't even look at girls." Rainbow Dash said. "Do you remember the time we tried getting him to look at women?" Rarity asked. *** Gohan was given a playboy magazine to read by the girls. They were in the library. He didn't realize it was that stuff. So he read for a bit. "So, what do you think of the book?" Pinkie asked. "Is this a children's book?" Gohan asked. "Uh..." Everyone said. "Gosh, how sad. These women must be really poor. They can't even afford clothes." Gohan said. Then everyone fell over. "Did I say something wrong?" Gohan asked. *** "I still can't believe you thought they were poor..." Rarity said. "And I still can't believe you tried to get me to enjoy nudity." Gohan said. "Good point." Sunset said. "Anyway, just tell me who it is!" Rainbow Dash said. "Me too!" Twilight said. "It's me!" Sunset said as a matter of factly. "You?" Twilight asked, pointing at Sunset. Rainbow Dash started laughing. Sunset crossed her arms. Gohan just smiled. "Sorry, but man, I didn't expect that!" Rainbow Dash said. "Why?" Sunset asked. "Y'know, I would consider you to be the last person to ask him out." Rainbow Dash said. "I can see why." Sunset said. *** In Equestria... Goten was flying home. He was just going to eat the prepped food, and- He stopped in mid air. "What the heck is that ki!?" He said to himself. He found it somewhere in the sky. "Yo! Goten!" Rainbow Dash yelled, flying straight at him. "What is it?" Goten asked. "Princess Celestia needs us at Canterlot. ASAP." Rainbow Dash said, flying away. *** "What happened, princess?" Twilight asked. They were in the throne room. "It appears pirates are approaching Equestria at a fast rate. The tyrant Frieza... He has been resurrected." Celestia said. "Wait, you mean that guy Goku beat? How'd he come back to life?" Rainbow Dash asked. Fluttershy squeaked in fear. "I'm afraid we don't know... But he's coming at an alarming rate. I'm afraid he may be here in about an hour." Luna said. "Goten can handle it, right?" Starlight asked. "I don't know. He is arriving with a whole army of his men. It would be wise to gather Equestria's best capable fighters to combat Frieza." Celestia said. "Well, guessing by his men... The guards wouldn't really hurt them." Goten said. "Precisely. That's why we're going to gather Cadence, Shining Armor, and we will aid in the battle. Goten, are you prepared to take on Frieza?" Celestia asked. "Well, the last time he was really weak, but this time his power's insane!" Goten said. "You're kidding." Rainbow Dash said. "We have to-" Twilight said, before they saw a spaceship outside. Oh fuck. "Crapbaskets." Twilight said. "Oh, you say that too." Goten said. "It appears we have no time. Twilight, take us to the Foal Mountains." Celestia said. "That's where Frieza will land. We must hurry!" Luna said. "I'm going to get Cadence and Shining Armor!" Goten said, running out of the castle. "I'm... Not sure if I want to fight..." Fluttershy said. "You don't have to. The one we require is Twilight Sparkle. Everyone else may volunteer." Celestia said. "Well I'm game!" Rainbow Dash said. "Same here! Yippee!" Pinkie said. "Well, shoot. I might as well." Applejack said. "Yeah!" Starlight said. "I'm afraid I'm not a fighter..." Rarity said. "Same here..." Fluttershy said. "You may take refuge here. Let's hope Goten can handle Frieza..." Celestia said. *** Gohan was inspecting the suit Rarity just made for him. "Perfect!" He said, walking into the stall and changing. "I still can't believe you asked him out." Rainbow Dash whispered. "Hey, you all had a date. Even Fluttershy and Twilight have one." Sunset said. "So you're treating Gohan as a last resort?" Applejack asked with a smirk. "What? No!" Sunset said. "Sounds like you got a crush~!" Pinkie whispered in Sunset's ear. Sunset swatted Pinkie's hand away. "I do not!" She said. "Sunset, I know it's hard to admit..." Fluttershy said. "Not you too!" Sunset said. Fluttershy leaned into her ear. "I saw you kiss him on the cheek." She whispered very quietly. Sunset blushed. 'Damn.' She thought. "What'd she say?" Rainbow Dash asked. "It's a secret!" Fluttershy said with a wink. Sunset facepalmed. "What are you guys talking about?" Gohan asked from in the stall. "I can barely understand what the subject is." He added. Everyone but Sunset giggled. "It's a secret, Gohan." Rainbow Dash said. Sunset checked her phone for some sort of notification until she realized her book was vibrating. She opened the book and... "Dear Sunset Shimmer, How are you? Equestria's fine, for the most part. But right now, we're in a bit of trouble. Maybe Goten can handle it, I don't know, but we need Gohan just in case. Can you get him over here? I know this is the worst time, since I really want to see you two together, but this is a possible crisis. Your friend, Twilight Sparkle" Sunset closed the book quickly. "What did the princess have to say?" Rarity asked. "O-Oh, you know... How are you, and stuff like that." Sunset said. "Aren't you gonna write back?" Pinkie asked. "Later." Sunset said. "I hope it isn't important." Fluttershy said. "I know this sounds random but I feel like something bad is going on somewhere." Gohan said. *** Frieza's ship "Lord Frieza, we are ready to land on Equestria." Sorbet said. "Good." Frieza said. They were at cloud level now. "Hell was an endless torture I will never endure again! Now I am reborn, and soon taste the sweet suckle of victory!" Frieza said before cackling. The start of vengeance... *** Equestria's second fiddle fighters were all in a field around the Foal Mountains. Many plateaus, a large body of water nearby, and not a lot of grass anywhere. Seems familiar. Goten, Celestia, Luna, Cadence, Twilight, Shining Armor, Starlight, Rainbow Dash, Applejack and Pinkie were all ready to fight. Frieza's ship was about to land about 3 miles away from them. Goten started to sweat. 'How did he get so strong...?' He thought. "Okay, so I have a plan." Twilight said. "Give it straight, and don't get too eggheady." Rainbow Dash said. "So, I believe that us princesses can handle a Frieza soldier single handedly. Maybe even Shining Armor. But, Starlight, Applejack, Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie... I think you all need to make a combined effort to fight one." Twilight said. "Goten, do you think you can handle Frieza?" She asked. "I'm not really sure..." Goten said. "Well, it's a good thing I contacted Sunset before this. She'll let Gohan know to come here." Twilight said. "That's a relief." Shining Armor said. Frieza's ship landed! Soldiers erupted from the ship. "Hol- How many soldiers this they fit in that ship!?" Rainbow Dash asked. "It's chock full!" Applejack said. "Let's go meet them head on!" Twilight said. "Yeah!" Everyone said, starting to run towards the ship. Then, finally, the last ones to leave the ship were Sorbet, Tagoma, Shisami and Frieza. Who was in a bubble car. They all stopped about three fourths of a mile from the ship. They were all ready to fight! "There are so many!" Starlight said. "Nothing annoys me more than uninvited guests." Shining Armor said. "At least I brought us enough senzu beans from Zecora!" Goten said, showing off the pouch. "How many?" Starlight asked. "Fifteen. This time it was on the house! It's like she knew Frieza was coming." Goten said, tying it to his belt. "Great! We have enough to save us from death." Luna said. Now the army was finally ready. Goddamn, there were millions of them. (Power levels: 300 - 3,000,000) Frieza got a closer look at Equestria's fighters. He was mostly looking for- "Aha. There he is. He looks just like that ingrate Goku." Frieza said. "A bunch of horses and one monkey. At least there's variety." He said. "That's Frieza in the chair? What a weird way to get around town. Not as weird as Pinkie's contraption..." Rainbow Dash said. Speaking of whom... "HEY! YOU BIG MEANIE PANTS!" She yelled, flying up to Frieza in her fucking weird helicopter thingy. "PINKIE!" Everyone yelled. "I'M GONNA MAKE SURE YOU DON'T BE A BULLY WITH ALL THIS CAKE I HAPPENED TO-" Goten jumped up and pulled her down before she did something stupid. "What are you doing!?" He asked. "Fighting Frieza!" Pinkie said. "You'll die!" Goten said. Frieza was laughing his ass off. "You used that unstable contraption to fly up to me? Ohohohoho!" He said. "What are you and your army doing here, Frieza?" Celestia called. "Isn't it obvious? I'm here for revenge on two people." Frieza said. "Gohan and Goten?" Cadence asked. "No and Yes. Their miserable excuse of a father, Goku and that boy!" Frieza said. "I don't see that other boy... What was his name... Gohan?" He asked. "No, but he's coming soon!" Rainbow Dash said. "To kick your flank!" She added. "I hope he arrives soon...!" Twilight said. "I don't know how he got so much stronger than last time. It hasn't been that long!" Goten said. "Gohan's gonna come real soon, okay?" Starlight asked. "You put so much faith in the boy. On Namek he barely stood a chance against me, but here you think he can beat me? I've grown stronger than that bug Cell exponentially." Frieza said. 'That's not good.' They all thought. "Since you just need the boy, I'll wait longer for him to show. Ten seconds." Frieza said. "Ten seconds!? You no good varmit!" Applejack yelled. Frieza started counting with his fingers. "That's one. Two.... Three..." He continued. All the warriors got into some sort of battle pose. "And eight... Nine... Ten." Frieza said. "Alright Soldiers, SHOW NO MERCY!" Sorbet commanded. All the Frieza soldiers flew at the ten fighters! "Get ready, everypony! This'll be the fight for our lives!" Goten yelled. Author's Note Damn it, Sunset! Why is she doing this...? I think it's pretty obvious. Frieza's Revenge Pt. 3"So... There's about a thousand in total... So a hundred per pony. We don't have to win entirely, we just have to hold out until Gohan's here!" Twilight said. "Don't hurt them more than you have to!" Pinkie said. "I hope you're ready!" Goten said, flying up at the army. "Ten against a thousand. This is amazing! It's a field day." Sorbet said. "Don't be so sure about that." Frieza said. "What do you mean?" Sorbet asked. Rainbow Dash created a tornado to repel quite a few Frieza soldiers. "W-What?" Sorbet asked. "What's the power level of that rainbow one?" Frieza asked. "It's... Uh... 450!?" Sorbet asked. "Don't worry. If they all have that power level, then-" "Tagoma, quiet." Frieza interrupted. "Now, do the boy." Frieza said. "It's..." Sorbet said before the scouter broke. "You see? They are all powerful than the other." Frieza saidz Shining Armor, Celestia, Luna and Twilight were blasting the soldiers away! Pinkie Pie was pulling out all her weird party cannon stuff and doing weird moves to repel enemies. Cadence and Applejack were working together. Applejack lassoed a few soldiers at once, holding them down for a blast by Cadence. She also bucked a few of them away. Goten was just doing great. He punched one away, while grabbing the arm of another and tossing him down. He caught the fist of yet another one and punched him away. "This is insane!" Sorbet said with his new scouter. "Power levels eighty million... Ninety million... seventy five million... 300... 350... twenty million..." He went through. "It should hardly surprise you, Sorbet. It was obvious that this would happen. You've let the force deteriorate into weaklings." Frieza said. "I-I apologize, my lord." Sorbet said. Rainbow Dash narrowly dodged a fist and smashed her forehoof into the soldier. Starlight blasted a few and used a force field to repel many at once. Frieza wasn't really happy with this. Applejack lassoed a few into more soldiers. Goten spun around like a tornado, knocking out a ton. Eventually, a Frieza soldier put him in a chokehold and- Goten elbowed him immediately, blasting him into the water. The last of the first wave of soldiers were down. The group panted. Except Goten. "That was just the first wave. Are you guys okay?" Twilight asked. "Yes!" Rainbow Dash said. "The boy... Hm... He's just like his father. He's a noble man, never killing unnecessarily. His strikes are not lethal, even though they can be. It makes me want to puke." Frieza said. "This is horrible! The soldiers should use their advantage in numbers and perform a coordinated assault! If the funnel the ten of them together it could be over!" Sorbet said. Frieza flicked Sorbet away. "That may be the most asinine military strategy ever uttered. Or least the most boring. Why would we want them to get together so they can help each other out?" Frieza asked. The next wave of fighters was sent. "Here we go!" Goten yelled, making his yellow aura flare. Rainbow Dash flew up to grab a cloud, and zapped some soldiers! Pinkie was punched by a soldier, but luckily managed to only get a little damage. Said soldier was blasted away by Twilight. "Are you okay, Pinkie?" She asked. "Yep!" Pinkie said, hopping away. "Gohan, get here soon!" Twilight muttered as she flew into the fray. *** Speaking of whom... "We all look marvelous!" Rarity said. "This is the Fall Formal all over again!" Rainbow Dash said. "Is it...?" Rarity asked. "Yes. It is." Applejack said. "Yeah, but I have a suit this time. Why did I have to wear a suit instead of my favorite?" Gohan asked. "Now that you're going with a lady you must be more presentable." Rarity said. "What? Oh. Right." Gohan said. He had a black suit with a white shirt and a black tie. Fit with black penny loafers. "You even gave Twilight the same thing you gave the princess!" Pinkie said. "Except she has glasses to go with it." Fluttershy said. "I mean, it's kind of like the Fall Formal. She was asked out by Flash." Rarity said. "I still get the feeling he only likes me because I look like the princess." Twilight said. "No, his feelings are genuine, Twi." Sunset said from inside the stall. "Are you ready yet?" Pinkie asked. "No!" Sunset said. "You've been in there for a half hour. Come on!" Rainbow Dash said. "Now, now. Give her time. Maybe she's shy?" Gohan said. "Why would she?" Fluttershy asked. "It's a theory, I guess." Gohan said. "Alright! I'm done!" Sunset said. "Then let's see!" Rarity said. Sunset stepped out of the stall. https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/mlp/images/a/ab/Sunset_Shimmer_ID_EGDS2.png/revision/latest?cb=20171106005307 "Wow. You look beautiful." Gohan said. "Really?" Sunset asked. Gohan nodded. "Ooh~... Someone's the charmer tonight." Rarity said. "I'm only complimenting her." Gohan said. "Uh, yeah. That's what you do." Rainbow Dash said. "Oh." Gohan said. "...How did your father charm your mother?" Rarity asked. "I think he did it without realizing it... I mean, he got married because he thought marriage was a food." Gohan said. "You're kidding..." Pinkie said, trying to suppress a laugh. "I'm really not." Gohan said. "At least you know what it is... Right?" Sunset asked. "Obviously. It's when two people decide they want to become one person!" Gohan said. Everyone stared at him. "Nah, I'm only kidding. It's when two people get together and live together. Matrimony is pretty much a promise to stay together." Gohan said. Everyone sighed. "I was ready to kill you." Sunset said. "Sorry." Gohan said before chuckling. "Well, let's get going!" Rainbow Dash said. *** "HA!" Goten yelled, firing a Kamehameha at a wave of soldiers. Huge explosion ensued. Took down a ton of soldiers with that. "Ah!" Applejack yelled. She was being knocked around by two soldiers. Rainbow Dash swooped in and kicked the two of them into each other. "You okay, AJ?" She asked. "Ugh... No..." Applejack said, trying to stand up. "Goten!" Rainbow Dash yelled. "Huh?" He asked, kicking a soldier away. "Senzu bean!" Rainbow Dash yelled. "Senzu bean?" Goten asked. "Senzu bean!" Rainbow Dash said. "Senzu bean!" Goten yelled, throwing a senzu bean at her. Rainbow Dash caught it with her hoof and shoved it into Applejack's mouth. Fully healed! "Ya know, you could've done it a bit lighter. I'm not knocked out." Applejack said. "Whatever. Just don't get killed." Rainbow Dash said, flying away to ram herself into a soldier. Applejack sighed as she grabbed her lasso and trapped a soldier. "Gotcha!" She said. Celestia and Luna made a combined effort to blast away a group of soldiers. "Perfect, sister. Victory is at hand!" Luna said. "I'm afraid not yet. Two of them up there are incredibly powerful. I can feel it." Celestia said. "Do not worry. Son Gohan is coming!" Luna said. "Yes." Celestia said. Goten performed an explosive wave, technically exploding himself without damaging himself to knock out the soldiers. Twilight and Shining Armor performed a combined blast on Tagoma! The result... He swatted it away. The two gasped. "Tagoma. Don't." Frieza said. Tagoma only grunted as he crossed his arms. More and more Frieza soldiers fell. "They're an even greater humiliation to my name then I thought they were." Frieza said. Sorbet finally came back. "Lord Frieza!" Sorbet said. "Sorbet, get the stronger ones in there." Frieza said. "Yes, my lord. Shisami!" Sorbet said. "It's about time." Shisami said. "I was getting tired of watching this." He added. "Leave no one standing!" Sorbet commanded. "Gladly." Shisami said, flying in. No more soldiers except him were sent in. Sorbet cackled. "Shisami is the most powerful soldier in the modern day Frieza force! He's gonna send you all to the next world! Before you even have time to pray!" He said. Tagoma wasn't happy to hear that... Shisami flew in front of Celestia and Luna. But Goten appeared in between them. "Stay back, Princesses. He's too strong." Goten said. Celestia and Luna nodded before retreating a bit. "This one's definitely fighting in a higher weight class." Twilight said. "Good luck, Goten!" Pinkie said. "So, a little kid like you wants to tangle with me? This should be fun." Shisami said. Goten grunted. Shisami charged at Goten! Goten responded by throwing a ton of ki blasts, but Shisami powered through all of them. "You think you can defeat me with your little amateur fireworks show!?" Shisami asked as he punched them all away. Then, he got Goten in a bear hug! "That's it, break his back!" Sorbet commanded. Shisami really put his strength into it. Goten yelped in pain. Sorbet cackled. "HRRAAAGH!" Goten yelled, turning Super Saiyan and breaking free. "What is that!?" Shisami asked. Goten was... "A Super Saiyan!? He can turn into one too!?" Frieza asked. "I couldn't have guessed that even his son could transform..." He added. Then he had Goku flashbacks since they looked EXACTLY THE FUCKING SAME! "I'm the strongest one in the Frieza force! I won't lose to you-" Shisami said before suddenly... A blast penetrated him from behind. Absolutely everyone was flabbergasted. It was Tagoma! Shisami had a real hole in his body. "What!? Tagoma... You traitor!" Shisami yelled. Then he died. He fell to the ground. "That's not fair!" Goten yelled. "Hey! What the hell was that for!?" Sorbet yelled. "I think the stronger one's coming to play!" Goten said. "Stronger, you say?" Sorbet asked. "You build an empire by the bones of your soldiers, sir. Not by crying by one weak soldier, it's no wonder the army is soft under you." Tagoma said. "Who do you think you are, talking to me like that? I'm your superior!" Sorbet said. Tagoma gave Sorbet a death stare. Frieza knew exactly what was happening. "That's insane!" Shining Armor said. "Never in my life have I seen such bad teamwork!" He added. "Why would he do that?" Cadence asked. "Actually, I should thank you, Sorbet. You were the one to convince Lord Frieza that I be healed so I can be his training partner." Tagoma said. From the countless battles, he gained extreme strength. By battle I mean torture. "I'm not the coward I used to be. I've become a warrior worthy of serving Frieza. And I will prove how worthy I am!" Tagoma said. "If I take them all down, may I become the commander? Your right hand man?" He asked. "Very well. You can also have all the planets you want! Even a minor galaxy if you so desire." Frieza said. 'If we can find one...' Sorbet thought. "Excellent, Lord Frieza. Now I'm even more excited about spilling their blood!" Tagoma said. "You may fight the boy for my pleasure." Frieza said. "Thank you." Tagoma said, flying down to Goten. He then powered up immensely. 'Whoa! That's huge!' Goten thought. "Be ready, you runt!" Tagoma yelled. "Alright mister!" Goten said, bowing then getting in his fighting pose. Author's Note Power Levels: Shisami - 320,000,000 Tagoma - Next Chapter Frieza's Revenge Pt. 4Tagoma grinned at Goten. "Come on! I'm waiting!" Goten said. "Weakling. I'll crush you in under three minutes." Tagoma said. "Okay!" Goten said. Goten's inner Trunks told him to do something hilarious. Goten charged at Tagoma, throwing a punch. Tagoma dodged and threw a punch of his own! Goten blocked and kicked Tagoma away! "Hey! Look behind you!" Goten yelled. "Huh?" Tagoma asked, looking behind him. "Super Goten smash!" Goten yelled, flying straight at Tagoma and... Shit. He rammed his head... Into his balls. Tagoma's eyes bulged wider than ever before. His Gotens! Rainbow Dash was laughing her ass off at that. "That... Indecent attack... Isn't weak, I suppose." Twilight said. Tagoma was on the ground, grabbing his ballsack in pain. "Tagoma, it's time to get back up! Destroy them already? Unless you want me to kill you first?" Frieza said. Tagoma managed to get himself up. "I will end you!" He yelled, powering up even more. 'He held back!?' Goten thought. Tagoma rushed Goten, giving him no time to recover from any attack! "He's getting pushed back!" Twilight said. "Gurrh!" Goten coughed. Eventually he punched Goten down to the lake. "Where's Gohan!?" Rainbow Dash asked. "We need to get him!" Applejack said. "I sent a message to Sunset Shimmer! Unless... Uh oh. Maybe she didn't get it!" Twilight said. "Then what do we do!?" Shining Armor asked. "I have to go back. You guys have to hold out!" Twilight said. Goten flew straight back up to Tagoma. He threw a barrage of fists and kicks to no avail. Tagoma grabbed his foot and hurled him at a plateau! He fired a barrage of ki blasts straight at Goten! He started laughing while doing it. Twilight teleported back to her castle as soon as she could. *** "Prom!" Pinkie yelled as everyone got out of the limo. Sunset was glad this was finally happening. Maybe tonight she could finally give the clueless hero the truth. The whole group was waiting for their dates to show up. Waiting on the steps. Then the portal started to react. "What's happening to the portal?" Applejack asked. "Twilight?" Gohan asked. Twilight came through the portal. "P-Princess?" Sunset asked. "Me?" Sci-Twi asked. "Gohan, come quick! We need you, desperately!" Twilight said. "What happened?" Gohan asked, standing up. "Frieza's back! He's so strong that Goten's struggling against one of his soldiers!" Twilight said. "Oh no!" Sunset said. "I'm coming. Rarity, I apologize. I respect the craft, but..." Gohan said, putting a hand to his chest. He did the clothes beam on himself. Gi and boots! "This is important." He said. "That's alright. Kick his butt!" Rarity said. "Good luck. Not like you'll need it, but." Rainbow Dash said. "Thanks. I'm sorry, Sunset. I'll make this as quick as possible. I promise I'll be back." Gohan said. "Just beat him! I don't care that you have to do this." Sunset said with a smile, Gohan ran into the portal quickly. "Wait up!" Twilight said, running in. 'I feel really bad for not telling Gohan now.' Sunset thought. *** Goten, in the midst of the blasts, turned Super Saiyan 2! Repelling every one! His shirts were a little torn. "What the...!?" Tagoma asked before all of a sudden, he was hit in the face with a punch. Goten blasted his stomach at full power! Tagoma was able to barely move the blast away. "He's had this power all along!?" Tagoma asked. "It's a Super Saiyan 2!" Goten yelled. "There's yet another one?" Frieza asked. "Yes." Sorbet said. Goten kicked Tagoma right in the stomach before elbowing him right in the back! A little too hard... I would say. Broke his back. Brutal, I know. "Tagoma!" Sorbet yelled. "Alright!" Rainbow Dash said. "That's the Goten we know!" Pinkie said. Goten looked at Frieza. "FRIEZA! Your turn!" He yelled. Frieza was not happy at this. He finger blasted Goten, which actually hit him in the shoulder! 'Ah! My shoulder! Why does it always have to be my shoulder!?' He thought. "Saiyan." Frieza said, floating down to the same level as Goten. 'This seems vaguely familiar.' He thought. "I will kill you myself." He said. Goten made his aura flare. "I won't lose!" He yelled. "I'll be sure to make it painful!" Frieza said. "Goten!" Celestia yelled. "Stay back! I'll hold him off until Gohan gets here!" Goten yelled. "Such beautiful brotherhood. Placing your trust on that brat. Don't worry, once I get rid of you, he's next." Frieza said. Goten grunted. "I wonder what look he will have on his face when he finds out his brother died suffering. It's so much fun to even imagine that!" Frieza said. He finger blasted Goten in the knee, making lose the aura! 'Dang it!' He thought. Goten flew at Frieza! ...Only to be finger blasted back. Now in the arm. "What will you do now? If you don't hurry and run away... I will kill you." Frieza said. "Frieza is a true sadist." Celestia said. "Yes. It appears his hatred for the one Son Goku is worse than I imagined." Luna said. "I won't run away! Not now, not ever! Not on my friends!" Goten yelled. Next finger blast in the stomach. Goten screamed in pain. He floated down to the ground. Frieza followed. "Did that hurt, little boy?" Frieza asked. "Yes..." Goten said, sniffling. "But you see, my resentment for Son Goku is too much to be satisfied with just this." Frieza said, finger blasting the other knee. Blood poured from these wounds. "Now, why don't you try to run away?" Frieza asked. "Because... I won't... Give up... On-" Another one to the chest. More blood. Goten fell to his knee. One knee. "What's wrong? Can't run anymore?" Frieza asked. Finger blast the other shoulder. More blood. "Goten!" Everyone yelled. "Don't think you can stand in my presence!" Frieza yelled. Finger blasted again. Goten fell flat. "If you really wish to live, why don't you plead for your life!?" Frieza asked. Another finger blast. "Beg for me to help you. Cry. Cry while screaming!" Frieza yelled. Another finger blast. "Beg for me to end it!" Frieza yelled, laughing. "Even so, I won't actually spare you!" He yelled. Goten couldn't remain a Super Saiyan. "I suppose it's time to finish this. I've had my fun with you." Frieza said, flying up for some space. "I will kill you with my bare hands, Saiyan. Serves you right. Serves you right, Saiyan!" He yelled. Another one. "Damn that Frieza!" Luna yelled. "This will be at your heart, Saiyan. You have one final chance." Frieza said. "I... I will never..." Goten muttered. Frieza grinned wider than before. "Then DIE!" He screamed, finger blasting again! Everyone looked in shock. "GOTEN!" Everyone screamed. Tching! Boom! "What!?" Sorbet asked. "What!?" Frieza asked. The blast went off course. "Goten. Goten!" Gohan yelled. Gohan deflected the beam! "Gohan!" Starlight cheered. "He's here!" Rainbow Dash said. "Finally..." Applejack said. "I'll take him over there. You handle Frieza." Twilight said, taking Goten to the others. "You... You're wearing the exact same clothes as that ingrate. Wait... Are you..." Frieza asked. Gohan faced Frieza with determination. "Yeah. It's me, Frieza. Gohan!" Gohan said. "My my. It's been all these years and you've barely grown." Frieza said. "And you've really gotten a lot stronger since the last time we met." Gohan said. "Yes, I have been training." Frieza said. "That doesn't matter now, Frieza." Gohan said. "I'll take my father's place and defeat you!" Gohan yelled. "For what you did to Goten!" He yelled. Author's Note Tagoma - 22,250,000,000 Goten (SSJ2) - 30,000,000,000 Frieza - 51,000,000,000 Frieza's Revenge Pt. 5Frieza laughed. Goten was given a senzu bean by his pouch. "Huh...? What happened?" He asked. "Don't worry. Gohan's here!" Cadence said. "Really!?" Goten asked, looking to his side. Gohan was facing Frieza. "Yeah! Get him, Gohan!" Goten cheered. "Are you sure THAT'S Gohan, my lord?" Sorbet asked. "Very clearly. His face is exactly the same, but his attire and his hair conpletely changed. His attire and face are the exact same as that monkey, Son Goku." Frieza said. Gohan stared coldly at Frieza. "Finally, I can reclaim the revenge I've dreamed of. Killing you is worth more than your pathetic brother." Frieza said. Gohan clenched his fists. "He is not pathetic!" He yelled. "Men! All at once!" Frieza commanded. "ALL AT ONCE!" Sorbet commanded. All the remaining men flew towards Gohan. 'How would I do this quickly and efficiently...? I know!' Gohan thought. He pointing his fingers at his face. "Solar Flare!" He yelled, blinding everyone- Even Frieza. The bystanders were blinded a bit too. "Ow!" "Ooh!" "Ah!" "Yeowch!" "Blah!" And etc. was heard. Then the sounds of many bodies dropping on the ground and water. Frieza opened his eyes. "What the...!?" Sorbet asked. "WE LOST ALL OUR MEN!" He yelled. "My my. You've grown immensely since we last met." Frieza said. "But, you still retain the same heart as your father... You didn't kill any of my men." He added. "I'm not the same kid you remember, Frieza. I am the successor of the one who defeated you on Planet Namek!" Gohan yelled. Frieza grinned as he flew out of his bubble car. He whacked it away with his tail. He flew down to the ground. "Now, I don't believe I have to try this time, will I?" Frieza asked. Gohan stared. "Your pathetic brother turned Super Saiyan and the second one, and yet he couldn't even stand up after I was done with him." Frieza said. Gohan looked over his shoulder. "You guys. Get away as far as you can." Gohan said. "But we want to see you kick Frieza's butt!" Pinkie said. Gohan was enraged already. "I can't risk you guys getting hurt! If you don't leave now, you'll die in the midst of this. This isn't a debate!" He yelled. "Come on, guys. I can take us to the castle in Canterlot." Twilight said. They all teleported away. "Sending your friends off to fight me alone. How gutless." Frieza said. "What? How is that gutless?" Gohan said. "Because. Suicide is the coward's way out." Frieza said. "Can we fight now?" Gohan asked. "Son of a- The memories are already back, YES!" Frieza yelled. Gohan jumped off the ground, straight at Frieza. Frieza held up a hand to block. But that wasn't enough this time. Gohan didn't punch his hand, instead he punched Frieza in the face! "Why you little...!" Frieza yelled, swiping his tail, hitting Gohan away. "You aren't even Super Saiyan yet you can harm me. I applaud you on your growth." Frieza said. "Well, I guess you knew." Gohan said. "Please. I met Cell in hell and laughed at the fact he lost to an eleven year old." Frieza said. "And I'm still fourteen." Gohan said. "What? That doesn't make any sense." Frieza said. "Time goes by slower here, Frieza. Now, let's get back to the fight." Gohan said. Frieza chuckled. "Let's." He said. Frieza dashed at Gohan, attacking with his tail once more. Gohan dodged and appeared behind him, kicking him in the back of the head. Frieza reacted quickly and fired many finger blasts at Gohan. Gohan swatted them all away, flying towards Frieza. He aimed to punch the stomach and- Frieza disappeared. Instead, Gohan was hit with a tail straight towards the ground. He recovered and maneuvered backwards to gain some distance. He also fired three ki blasts at Frieza. Frieza deflected all of them. "What will you do now, monkey?" He asked. Gohan put two fingers to his head. 'Is he...?' Frieza thought. "Makankosapp-" Gohan yelled before teleporting behind Frieza. Gohan punched Frieza down to the ground! He wasn't done yet, he appeared behind him to kick him back up! He broke a part of his armor! "Why you...!" Frieza yelled. He grabbed Gohan's next punch. Then he kneed him in the stomach and used his tail to knock him down to the ground. Gohan stopped on the ground. Frieza flew away and got on Gohan's level on the ground. "I'm impressed. You've managed to surpass me in my first form." Frieza said. "Surprised?" Gohan asked with a smirk. "I'm afraid not, monkey. You remember my transformations?" Frieza asked. "I do..." Gohan said. "I've given them a little upgrade of sorts." Frieza said, breaking his armor. Gohan could see something definitely changed in his transformation. Frieza started glowing white as he increased in size. 'His second form!' Gohan thought. Then it was red. He released a ton of red ki! He really bulked up! His horns now bent upwards, and his voice got really deep. And he grew immensely! Gohan had to really look up at him! 'It doesn't change his power level twofold!' Gohan thought. Frieza stopped glowing. "Heh... This is it. Doesn't it bring back those cherished memories?" Frieza asked. "Cherished? Yeah right." Gohan said. 'Definitely NOT.' He thought. *** Back to the Frieza saga... Where Gohan was a young Moe Howard... Second Form Frieza was charging at him! 'Quick... What would dad do in this situation!?' He thought. **** "Bye, Son!" Goku said, having a bag strapped to his back. **** 'I'm beginning to think I have issues.' Gohan thought. Frieza kicked him down, and stomped his head on the ground! *** "I guess I'll have to go Super Saiyan for this one." Gohan said. He just transformed there. No aura flares or anything. "Ah. This time, your hair doesn't even change form. How delightful." Frieza said. "Enough talk. Let's go." Gohan said. Gohan jumped and threw a punch! Frieza flew up to dodge, but Gohan followed him, and the two's arms clashed! Then they both exchanged many blows! Punches, kicks, you name it! Every punch and kick sent a shockwave around the place. Sorbet was struggling to stay in place as he watched the epic fight unfold. Gohan finally punched Frieza in the chest. "TAKE THIS!" Gohan yelled, uppercutting him right in the chin. He went for a follow up but Frieza blocked and they were in the struggle again. *** Instead of going to Canterlot, the group watched from the farther regions of the Foal Mountains. "What a battle. I can see the shockwaves." Shining Armor said. "I hope Gohan can do it." Cadence said. "He will! Just you watch!" Twilight said. "I hope we win... For Equestria's sake!" Celestia said. *** Gohan kicked Frieza away. But, it's as if he teleported back to the fray, and punched Gohan! He was rushed into a plateau. There was an explosion of debris. As it turns out, Frieza was trying to force Gohan further into the thing. Then he unleashed a million blasts on Gohan! A huge pink explosion ensued! Could be seen from a lot of places. "Oh no!" Twilight said. "He's still okay!" Goten said. Frieza laughed. "I'm not even using half my full power in this form." He said. "I can tell." Gohan said in one place of the smoke. "But I'm holding back too." He said in another place. "So you won't see..." He said in another place. "Until you push it." Gohan said behind Frieza. He punched him straight into the ground! His orange shirt had a small rip. Frieza landed safely. He looked up at Gohan and powered up silently. 'Dang. His power's a lot greater.' Gohan thought. "Now, let us truly begin!" Frieza yelled. He charged at Gohan, punching him in the stomach and kicking him away. He then performed a double axe handle on him, sending him down. Gohan landed in some rocks. "Such malice!" Sorbet noted. Gohan made the rubble all disappear. Apparently he has some blood on his forehead now. 'Now this is familiar...' He thought. Frieza laughed. "What will you do now?" He asked. Gohan crossed his arms and powered up. "HA!" He yelled, turning Super Saiyan 2 instantly. "Hmm? This is Super Saiyan 2, huh?" Frieza asked. "Yeah. It is." Gohan said. "Then come at me! I won't be-" Gohan delivered a chop to the side of Frieza's neck, then a kick to the other side, then rammed his head with his head, then blasted him upwards! Frieza broke away from the blast. He charged up a full power energy blast at Gohan, and fired! Gohan didn't even move. BOOM! Big explosion! "He's dead!" Sorbet said. Frieza panted. "Looks like the deed was finally done for this monkey." Frieza said. "What are you talking about?" Gohan asked from inside the smoke. "W-What the...!?" Frieza asked. The smoke died down. "I can tell you're surprised." Gohan said. "But how!? Cell told me your power only doubles in that form?" Frieza said. "I've mastered this form beyond belief, Frieza. It doesn't double my power anymore. I've made it four times as strong as before." Gohan said. (Trunks did it.) *** "He did what!?" Goten asked. "What happened?" Pinkie asked. "He... He's mastered Super Saiyan 2... To the point that it's four times as strong!" Goten said. 'How did he do that so fast!?' He thought. Supreme Kai. "But how!?" Twilight asked. "That's insane!" Rainbow Dash said. *** "I'm impressed. Your brother didn't display such power at my mercy." Frieza said. "He just got the form. And I've been training with some of the strongest in the universe." Gohan said. "Good. It makes me savor my revenge even more!" Frieza said. "Really? I guess it's to knock me off the ladder." Gohan said. "It really is." Frieza said. "I suppose it's about time I reveal to you my final form yet again." Frieza said. The two flew down to the ground. "Whatever happened to the third form?" Gohan asked. Frieza ignored the question and started powering up, making his pink aura flare. 'Uh oh... Super Saiyan 2 isn't going to last long here!' Gohan thought. *** Sunset was still waiting on the steps. The others and their dates already went inside. (Fluttershy and Big Mac, Rarity and Blueblood, Rainbow Dash and Soarin, Applejack and Tenderhoof, Pinkie and Cheese Sandwich, and Twilight and Flash.) (And I don't ship any of them. Prefer them with each other, but whatever.) 'What's taking him so long? It's already been about 45 minutes. Prom's over in two hours.' Sunset thought. She sighed. 'He'll come through that portal eventually.' She thought. Author's Note Gohan - 63,000,000,000 SSJ - 3,150,000,000,000 SSJ2 - 25,200,000,000,000 Frieza (Second Form) - 5,000,000,000,000 (Full Power) - 7,500,000,000,000 Frieza's Revenge Pt. 6"W-What's going on!?" Goten asked. "I think Frieza's transforming again!" Starlight said. "Oh no!" Goten said. "What's happening!?" Twilight asked. "Frieza... He's MUCH stronger!" Goten said. "Then what'll Gohan do!?" Rainbow Dash asked. "I hope Super Saiyan 4 will help..." Pinkie said. "Pinkie." Twilight, Applejack and Rainbow Dash said. "What? He calls it that now." Pinkie said. "He really does." Goten said. "Huh. I wonder what 3 actually looks like then..." Rainbow Dash said. "Gohan has a new Super Saiyan?" Shining Armor asked. "Apparently. He was the giant monkey who rampaged around before turning into a were monkey of sorts." Twilight said. The pink aura died down. Gohan was sweating a bit. Frieza was in his final form... Two percent. He made a huge crater in the ground. So much so that the water poured into it. "You won't have to wait any longer, though. I'm ready for my revenge." Frieza said. "I'm afraid you'll have to wait a bit longer. Man, you're really strong!" Gohan said. "You can finally see the difference between you and I? I am the ruler of a universe. My power level must be exponentially higher than that of your Super Saiyan 2." Frieza said. "Maybe. I'm willing to bet that it's no match for you right now. But..." Gohan said. "But what?" Frieza asked. "I know you have another form." He said. "Yeah. You do. I might as well unleash it now. Haa........!" Gohan said. Gohan started to power up immensely himself. The yellow aura could be seen from far away! "Okay, that's it. Twilight, take us for a closer look!" Rainbow Dash said. "That's a horrible choice!" Twilight said. "Well, to be honest I want to see a bit of that action too." Shining Armor said. "Same here." Applejack said. "Yeah!" Pinkie said. "I'll even put up a forcefield." Shining Armor said. "With me too, right?" Cadence asked. "Sure. Makes it even stronger." Shining Armor said. "I suppose we could go in closer." Celestia said. "Ugh. Fine." Twilight said. *** "HAAAAAAAA!" Gohan yelled. A yellow sphere enveloped him. From the inside, he changed. Outside were many lightning sparks. "HRAGH!" Gohan yelled as he broke the sphere into a million pieces. He was changed. A Super Saiyan 4! "This. Is Super Saiyan 4." Gohan said. "Oh. You've really embraced your monkey heritage, haven't you? I would've enjoyed the yellow hair, but black hair will look just as good on my wall." Frieza said. "Heh. You're no pushover. But it's really bad that you're rotten to the core." Gohan said. "You have the same vocabulary as your father." Frieza said. "But, I'm much smarter than him. Smarter to know that you're hiding another secret." Gohan said. "Oh, but you'll see that if it has to happen. Now..." Frieza said, getting into his battle pose. Which was reenacting Jesus dying on the cross with his hands downward. "This time, I'll really end it. I won't make the same mistake my father made!" Gohan said. "You have. Challenging me." Frieza said. The two stared at each other. The Frieza flew to the ground which Gohan stood. Then the two charged at each other! They grabbed each other's hands and cracked the ground beneath them. They were having a bit of a pushing war with their flared auras. Made another crater in the ground. Small in comparison to Frieza's, but hey! "Man, you could just feel the hate in the air." Rainbow Dash said. They were nearby, but in two barriers. "The energy's huge." Goten said. Gohan finally ended it by kneeing Frieza in the gut. He kicked him up to the sky! Frieza recovered. "You insolent...!" He yelled before he flew back down at Gohan. Gohan flew straight up at him. The two clashed in mid air, exchanging barrages of punches and kicks. It finally ended with Frieza upper cutting Gohan in the chin. Frieza teleported behind him and elbowed him in the back! Then he kneed him and grabbed his hair! He threw a punch at his face and... He wasn't even fazed. Gohan... Smiled? "Is that your best?" He asked. "What!?" Frieza asked. "Your attacks are like tiny feathers. They're weak." Gohan said, grabbing Frieza's wrist. He crushed it. "Ah!" Frieza yelped. "I know you're holding back on me, but you should know well that I'm not!" Gohan yelled, punching down on Frieza, sending him to the ground. Frieza landed, making the ground crumble. "So, you really want me to try?" He asked. "Do I!" Gohan asked. "Fine then." Frieza said, getting into his pose. Thunder came down from the sky on him. He powered up from it. "Half power. I think it works." Frieza said. "Then why don't you come at me with it?" Gohan asked. Frieza grunted. "I will torture you when I wish to do so!" He yelled. Veins were popping out of his head. "You and your father make me want to puke! Prepare to die slowly and painfully, Son Gohan!" He yelled. Gohan got serious now. "Let's go!" He yelled. The two flew at each other, body slamming everywhere in the sky. And punching and kicking, I guess. The shockwaves could literally be seen! "I can barely follow their movements!" Goten said. "No way, we can't even see it!" Twilight said. Gohan blocked a punch from Frieza and punched him right in the gut! Frieza held a blast towards Gohan. "Think quickly!" He yelled. Gohan expected him to throw it at him. But no. Frieza threw it down at his friends! 'Oh no!' He thought. "Oh no." Goten said. "I SAID THIS WAS A BAD IDEA!" Twilight said. Gohan performed Instant Transmission, and kicked the blast away! "That's low of you, Frieza!" Gohan yelled. "Now that I see it up close... He looks more like an overgrown monkey." Shining Armor said. "You said what we're all thinking, pal." Rainbow Dash said. "Low? My revenge upon you isn't just your death. It's all the torture you will suffer before your gruesome death! Killing your friends would be the icing on the cake." Frieza said. "And that's what makes you so low. You lack compassion and sympathy. You don't care about the pain you put on others until you really feel it. And even then, you don't learn from your mistakes!" Gohan yelled. "YEARGH!" Frieza yelled as he flew at Gohan. Gohan followed suit. "FRIEZA!" He yelled. The two clashed heads. Literally. They were pushing each other back and forth with it. But Frieza moved a bit and grabbed Gohan's foot. He swung him around endlessly! Gohan grabbed his tail to stop it all! Frieza and Gohan each charged a blast in their open hands and fired! It separated the two, and sent ki flying everywhere! The barrier protected the bystanders. Gohan and Frieza were clashing again. Gohan threw multiple kicks, but then Frieza threw a heavy kick of his own, which Gohan narrowly dodged by bending backwards. He kicked Frieza upward with two legs! He followed suit, ready to extend the combination. But Frieza recovered quicker than he thought, and tried to claw for his vital areas. Heart, throat, arms, veins. And one for the eyes. Gohan dodged all but one. He caught Frieza's hand on the eyes! "Going after my eyes? Really?" He asked. "Of course. This is my revenge, and I will enact it as I please!" Frieza yelled, kicking Gohan away. Gohan blocked the next incoming punch with his arm. He punched Frieza away. "I don't get it! Half power and you still manage to overpower me!" Frieza yelled. Gohan grinned. "I haven't been sitting around like I thought I would, Frieza. I've been training harder than ever before." He said. "Following your father's idiotic and barbaric ways won't help you against me!" Frieza said, throwing a ki blast at Gohan. Gohan deflected it and punched Frieza in the stomach! Gohan let Frieza move away in time. "You're not really at half power, are you?" Gohan asked. "You knew, huh?" Frieza asked. "Why don't you show me 100%?" Gohan asked. "I see. I suppose I'll have to really go full power against you to ensure maximum suffering." Frieza said. He grunted loudly, and instantly buffed up immensely. Gohan didn't expect that! "Surprised? It turns out I was really using twenty percent." Frieza said. 'He wasn't using even forty percent!?' He thought. Gohan made his aura flare, going full power. "Is Gohan really going full power!?" Twilight asked. "Sensing their energy makes my head hurt!" Goten said. *** Sunset sighed. 'An hour and fifteen minutes left... Come on! Where is he!?' She thought. "So, he hasn't even shown up yet?" A voice came from behind. Rainbow Dash. And the other girls. "No. But I know he'll be here soon." Sunset said. "I don't know about that, sugarcube. Maybe he's off having a blast doing something else." Applejack joked. "He wouldn't!" Sunset defended. "I'm joking." Applejack said. "Why are you guys here anyway?" Sunset asked. "The party's ending in about an hour. They all left for some guys' night out." Rainbow Dash said. "And someone asked Twilight to be his girlfriend~!" Pinkie said. "Oh, really? What's the verdict?" Sunset asked. "Can't say." Twilight said. "Ugh." Everyone said. "Anyway, maybe you should check on Gohan?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Why?" Sunset asked. "Just a hunch." Rainbow Dash said. "If he's taking this long... Then I would be a little scared that he's not okay." Fluttershy said. She did have a point there... "Hm..." Sunset said. *** "Alright, let's do this, Frieza!" Gohan yelled. Author's Note Can't give Frieza's final form yet. Ruins the next one. Frieza's Revenge Pt. 7 (Gohan's Final Battle?)'I really underestimated Frieza this time.' Gohan thought. Gohan charged at Frieza! He threw a punch, but Frieza caught it and punched him in the gut! He even punched him in the cheek away. Straight into a mountain! Big crashes! Frieza wasn't done there! He performed many Death Beams, or finger blasts on him! And then there was a big explosion! "Gohan's okay, right?" Twilight asked. Gohan teleported behind Frieza and performed a double axe handle on him from behind. "That answers the question." Luna said. Straight into the water! Frieza burst out of the water! He flew right at Gohan to throw a punch! Gohan threw his leg up to block that! Then he blocked another punch with his arm, but he was kicked down to the ground by Frieza. Gohan used the ground to jump back up at him! The two charged at each other again! They both grabbed each other's hands. But Frieza acted better. He turned Gohan upside down and elbowed him in the stomach. He coughed. Gohan responded with a knee to the face! Then Frieza struck back with a punch. Then Gohan struck back! Then Frieza, Gohan, Fr- It was a barrage of fists and kicks. Frieza kicked Gohan away, who in turn flew away so Frieza would chase. The two landed inside a mountain's peak, and then Gohan threw a punch. Frieza dodged, and dodged two more. He punched Gohan right in the face, but Gohan responded by punching back. Frieza elbowed him in the stomach and punched him in the face! Gohan grabbed his fist and spun him around. He threw him into rocks, off the mountain. Gohan chased, flying straight after Frieza. The two started exchanging blows everywhere! The shockwaves could be seen... The terrain was getting ruined because of it! Gohan roared before he unleashed his ultimate combo... Well, not ultimate, but- You get it. "ATATATATATA...!" Gohan screamed as he pummeled Frieza near endlessly. He ended it by kicking Frieza away, who in turn flew back and body slammed Gohan. Frieza then unleashed a devastating blast. It put a huge line hole in the terrain! Luckily, it narrowly missed the group... But Gohan was caught in the midst of it. Gohan managed to stay standing after such a hit! "Are you winded already? I'm just getting started." Frieza said. 'I have to wait until his 100% gives off. Then, he'll be weak enough for me to handle. He's really tough!' Gohan thought. He... Smiled? "Do you really enjoy being a punching bag?" Frieza asked. "No. But a fight really gets me pumped. This one in particular has to the hardest one yet." Gohan said. Frieza flew at Gohan, who in turned flew back for some distance. He blocked a punch by Frieza, but then Frieza kicked him faster than he could block or attack. Gohan and Frieza were clashing with all sorts of fists and kicks. "It appears he... Is struggling!" Luna said. "H-How!?" Twilight asked. "Don't worry!" Goten said. "Why do you say that? He'll die!" Starlight said. "He has an ace up his sleeve. A real good one, too." Goten said. "I really hope he uses it soon." Twilight said. "It's like watching two gods fight..." Applejack said. Gohan was pretty tired out from the endless movement. Frieza took advantage of it and kicked him right into the side of the mountain! Gohan panted as he got the rubble off himself. Frieza chuckled. "I know what you're doing, and trust me, it won't work." He said. "What?" Gohan asked. "You're trying to get me to use up my energy at 100% like your father did. But, I came prepared. I can remain in this form without losing any stamina!" Frieza said. "What!?" Gohan asked. 'Now that plan was thrown out the window!' He thought. "He was trying to deteriorate Frieza's stamina?" Twilight asked. "He's killing himself faster than Frieza!" Rainbow Dash said. "It appears that before, Frieza had very little stamina in that sustained form. But... Now, he..." Luna said. "-Has complete mastery of it." Celestia said. "So, what do you plan to do about this? You seem to be at an impasse." Frieza said. Gohan stood up. "I'll never give up!" He said, making his aura flare. "I'll beat you somehow... I have two ways." Gohan said. "Oh really. There's nothing you could do to actually defeat me." Frieza said. "There is. You'll see, Frieza!" Gohan said. Sorbet spectated. "Yes... He's so close!" Sorbet said. Gohan jumped from the mountain, making it crack. He wound up a fist. "TAKE THIS!" *** "Ah, screw it. I'll just go in. He's taking way too long!" Sunset said, marching into the portal. "What could he be doing...?" Rarity asked. "Fighting a galactic tyrant that was magically brought back to life who trained for four months before reaching the other world and wants revenge on Gohan's daddy so he'll torture them?" Pinkie sputtered. "Yeah, I seriously doubt that." Rainbow Dash said. *** Sunset was a pony again. "Oh old body, I've missed you so!" Sunset said to herself. 'So, is this Princess Twilight's castle?' She thought, looking around. "Better find Gohan." She said. 'Wow. I feel like I ponied up. I still have a ton of power in this.' She thought. Then she heard weird sounds from outside. Sunset managed to find her way to a balcony before seeing many shockwaves around Canterlot. "What the heck!? Is that Gohan?" She asked. "Sunset Shimmer?" Spike asked. "What are you doing here?" He asked. "Spike? Sorry, I wanted to see where Gohan was since he agreed to go to the prom with me." Sunset said. "Oh. I think he's fighting an alien guy right now. I can't nap because of it!" Spike said. "See you later, then." Sunset said, flying away...? "Did... Did she just fly?" Spike asked. *** Gohan punched Frieza, leaving a mark. Compared to the many marks he has... Oh boy. He finally set up his utimate attack. He kicked Frieza up into the sky and chase after him. He wound up his fist. "DRAGON FIST!" He screamed, throwing the fist. An explosion ensued! From it, emerged a giant, golden dragon! "Amazing!" Celestia said. "Did Gohan just turn into a dragon!?" Applejack asked. "He did!?" Twilight asked. "IT'S OVER, FRIEZA!" Gohan screamed. The Dragon was really close to Frieza and... He dodged. Gohan missed. He didn't give up! He turned around, and flew at Frieza then! Dodged. This repeated many times. 'He's using the dragon fist?' Sunset thought as she landed gently. She saw the two. Frieza and the dragon that just turned back into Gohan. 'Dang it... I missed!' He thought. "Pitiful. You have one more ace up your sleeve, hm?" Frieza asked. "I do, but... I wasn't counting on this to be it." Gohan said. Frieza flew at the exhausted Gohan and punched him in the stomach! He grabbed his foot and hurled him at the group! He made a crater in the ground. "Gohan!" They all called. Even Sunset Shimmer. Sorbet was in the rocks, hidden from Sunset... 'I can take one of them out!' He thought, aiming his pea shooter at Sunset. Sunset felt Sorbet's presence and looked to her side. She narrowly dodged a deadly blast! "Uh oh..." Sorbet said. "You little...! Take this!" Sunset said, charging up yellow ki and unleashing it on Sorbet. He screamed while he died. Frieza turned around. "Sorbet is dead now. Hmph." He said. "Gohan!" Goten said from inside the barrier. Gohan got himself up. 'Well... I really don't want to die now. But, I guess there's no other option now... Frieza will rule the universe if I don't do this.' He thought. "Gohan! Here's a senzu!" Twilight said, holding a bean with her magic. "There's no need Twilight. I've already made up my mind." Gohan said. "Made up your mind? What do you mean?" Starlight asked. "...Goten, take good care of Equestria for me, okay?" Gohan asked. "W-What? Why are you saying that?" Goten asked. "Yeah, what gives?" Rainbow Dash asked. Gohan cried manly tears and smiled. "I love you all." He said before putting two fingers to his forehead and teleporting. "Wait. What does he mean!?" Goten asked, jumping out of the barrier. Gohan appeared behind Frieza and put him in a full nelson! "What the- What are you doing you insolent fool!?" Frieza asked. He even wrapped his legs around Frieza. "What the heck is Gohan doing? He just has him in a full nelson." Sunset said. "I got you now. You can't attack me now!" Gohan said. "You know you can't attack either, right?" Frieza asked, trying to get out. Gohan chuckled. "Unless I'm willing to die with you." He said. "Wait, what!?" Frieza asked. "WHAT!?" Goten asked. "Why do you bother persisting? You know this just makes your suffering even longer!" Frieza said. "I won't let you harm any more creatures in the universe... Not while I'm around!" Gohan said. "What are you even going to do!?" Frieza asked. Gohan grinned. "Self destruct." He said. "What!? You'll die too!" Frieza said. "I've already been to hell, Frieza. Well, I haven't died yet, but you get it. I'm not much of a fan of dying, but if it's the only way, I'm taking it!" Gohan said, starting to glow blue. "You wouldn't!" Frieza yelled. "Try me." Gohan said. "Let go of me you disgusting monkey!" Frieza yelled, flying all over the place. "What's Gohan doing!?" Twilight asked. "Don't do it, GOHAN!" Goten yelled. "Do what!?" Shining Armor said. "Self destruct!" Goten said. "He's DOING WHAT!?" Sunset asked. She was like... fifty feet away. "Sunset Shimmer!?" Twilight asked. "You fool!" Frieza said. "Like I said, hell's a fate we both have." Gohan said, glowing even brighter. Goten started to cry. "N-No... NOO!" Frieza yelled. "HAAAAAAAAAA!" Gohan screamed as he overflowed his energy. The result was a gigantic blue explosion! "GOHAAAAAAAN!" Goten screamed. Everyone looked in shock as they witnessed Gohan... Killing himself... For the greater good... The diameter of the blast was so huge, it got really close to the barrier! But it stopped there. It could be seen from all over Equestria. The ponies and Saiyan nearby shed tears. Goten was wailing. Sunset couldn't believe it. 'It was that bad... That he had to sacrifice himself...?' She thought. The parts of the Mane 6 were all just shocked. They all cried. In fact, everyone in that bubble all cried. They just lost a best friend. A brother. A crush? And a hero. The explosion finally died down. The biggest crater in all of Equestria could be seen with tons of smoke inside. Sunset walked to the edge of the site... 'Why... Why did you have to leave so soon...?' She thought as she wiped her tears. "Goha-a-a-a-an...!" Goten cried. "Son Gohan actually gave his life for Equestria...?" Celestia asked. "I... I can't believe it..." Rainbow Dash said. Sunset noticed something... "Wait... What's that?" She asked, pointing at... Was it Gohan? Was it Frieza? The world may never know... Or, you, actually. Author's Note Ooh... Did Gohan die? I think so. I mean, lets inspect the body. Anyway, power level...? Frieza (100%) - 320,000,000,000,000,000 Frieza (Injured) - Oh fuck, I ruined it. Miraculous Failures (Gohan x Sunset)"Gohan!?" Goten asked. Gohan was in the hole...? How? How is he still alive? He didn't have any shirt whatsoever. Goten smiled. "He's alive! He's alive!" He yelled as he jumped down the hole. "Gohan's alive?" Twilight asked as the barrier died down. Gohan coughed. "I guess... I lucked out.... This time..." He said with a weak grin. He was really out of breath. "He's alive!" Sunset said, jumping down into the hole. Goten got to his side, and grabbed a senzu from his belt. Not the pouch. "Here! Take it!" He said. "Why does this one smell weird...?" Gohan asked. He ate of it and... "Phew! I can't believe that happened." Gohan said, standing up. Goten punched him in the arm. "Don't do that ever again!" He yelled. "I'm sorry, I know. It was pretty mean of me. I didn't think there was any other way to beat Frieza." Gohan said. "I didn't want to lose you!" Goten yelled. Sunset Shimmer finally came to them. "Sunset? What's wrong? Wait- How much time did I take!?" Gohan asked. "We have less than an hour left." Sunset said. "Oh crapbaskets! We gotta go then!" Gohan said. "Wait, what? You just tried to kill yourself to save everyone, and yet your first concern is taking me to the prom?" Sunset asked. "I said I would go!" Gohan said. 'I don't think I'll ever understand how he compares these things...' Sunset thought. "Don't worry about it." She said. "Are you sure?" Gohan asked. Sunset nodded. Then, the others started to come down. "Sunset Shimmer! What are you doing here?" Twilight asked. Then she remembered. "Oh. Right." She said. "What?" Pinkie asked. "It's nothing." Twilight said. "Are you alright?" Celestia asked. "Yep! Senzu bean!" Gohan said, smashing his chest with his fist a few times. "We thought you were a real goner!" Rainbow Dash said. "I still can't believe I lucked out..." Gohan said. "We can't believe you actually tried that." Cadence said. "Shows that he really cares." Shining Armor said. "Aw." Everyone said. Gohan rubbed the back of his head and blushed a bit. "Sunset Shimmer..." Celestia said. "Princess Celestia." Sunset said. "It's been too long. You have already surpassed me in raw power." Celestia said with a smile. "What!?" Everyone but Gohan asked. "H-How can you tell!?" Sunset asked. "Even I can see this, Sunset Shimmer." Luna said. "But how?" Twilight asked. "Oh. Right. I've been giving her some training. I guess it really paid off!" Gohan said. "It really did! I know I'm in training, but she's already stronger than the princess!" Rainbow Dash said. "Wow..." Sunset said. "You've grown in strength and personality, Sunset Shimmer. I'm proud." Celestia said. "Wow..." Sunset said. "Same here, Sunset. You and Starlight are the best students ever!" Twilight said. "That's great!" Gohan said. "The battle is finally over..." Luna said. "And I have a dance to get to." Gohan said, putting two fingers to his forehead. "Grab on." He said to Sunset, holding a hand out. Sunset put her hoof in his hand. "What are you talking about?" Starlight asked. "We have to get to a dance. Bye!" Gohan said, popping out of reality with Sunset. "I still don't get how he does that." Twilight said. *** The Humane 6 were just hanging around. Waiting for the two to come back. "There's, like, 40 minutes before prom is over." Pinkie said. "Is Gohan even coming back? He's taking forever." Rainbow Dash said. Then two people emerged from the portal. "You're finally ba-" Applejack said before noticing all the gunk and crud on Gohan. And a loss of his shirt. "Sorry I took so long. He was really strong." He said. "I saw the end, at least." Sunset said. "And I should do this..." Gohan said, placing a hand on his chest. A flash of light, and then he had a suit. "There we go." He said. "You don't have a whole lot of time." Applejack said. "I know. I had a real tough time beating him..." Gohan said. "It was a true near death experience." Sunset said. "What happened?" Fluttershy asked. "Frieza was back, stronger than ever, and it seemed like Super Saiyan 4 couldn't beat him..." Gohan said. "Then... How did you beat him?" Twilight asked. Gohan and Sunset looked at each other. "Well... I don't really want to talk about it." Gohan said. "Why not? Did you use the dragon fist?" Rainbow Dash asked. "That missed." Gohan said. "Then how?" Twilight asked. "We'll tell you another time..." Sunset said. "Then get in there and dance already!" Pinkie yelled, throwing Sunset into the door. "Oops." Pinkie said. Sunset was sitting on the floor. "Ugh... Why'd you do that!?" She asked. Gohan gave Sunset a hand. "Are you okay?" He asked. "Yeah, I'm okay." Sunset said, brushing herself off. Gohan opened the door and gestured for her to enter. "After you." He said. "Someone's a gentleman tonight. Thank you." Sunset said, entering. Gohan followed suit. Rainbow Dash whistled for Gohan. Applejack smacked her in the back of the head. "Hey! What was that for!?" Rainbow Dash asked. The inside was the Fall Formal all over again. But with half the students since it's late. Sunset held Gohan's hand in an attempt to show affection. 'Well... That part's done for me.' He thought. The two walked over to the snacks and little amount of punch left table. "Do you want some juice? Or a snack?" Gohan asked. "Hm... Sure. Some punch." Sunset said. Gohan grabbed a cup and the ladle. He poured it into the cup without accidentally smashing it to pieces. You have no idea how many cups he went through to finally master that. He handed it to her. "Here." He said. "Thank you." Sunset said. Then the two just stood there. The DJ, or just Vinyl Scratch put on some dubstep or something. 'What did Rarity say again...? Oh right.' Gohan thought. Gohan did a little bow. "Uh... May I have this dance?" He asked, holding his hand out. Sunset giggled a bit. "You may." She said. The dance floor was just people doing that boring one-two hands on hips and neck shit. And the two were doing just that. 'This is nice.' Gohan thought. 'This is boring.' Sunset thought. "Hey, do you want to spice things up a bit?" Sunset asked. "W-What do you mean?" Gohan asked, genuinely confused. Sunset broke the slow dance and grabbed his hand. She threw him to the side, then pulled him back in, spinning him around once and grabbing the other hand. The two were very close to each other. "What just happened...?" Gohan asked. "A better way of dancing. Come on!" Sunset said. It's as if she was the man for a second. Gohan was still confused, but he tagged along. ...Kinda. He lifted Sunset up to the sky on her stomach. "What are you doing!?" Sunset asked. "For the record, I have no idea what I'm doing!" Gohan said before he started jumping all over the place. 'Might as well trust him... It's not like he'll hurt me.' Sunset thought. She made a pose, as if she were a flying superhero. I mean, she always did that, but whatever. Everyone looked at them. Mainly because you don't see that everyday since Pinkie and Rainbow Dash stopped showing it off. They also cleared the floor for the two. Gohan finally jumped high up to a yellow light, and slowly tossed Sunset back to the ground, giving her ki while doing it. I dunno, he had to improvise. He aimed his palm at her. The transition of ki was green, and it was like they were connected. It's like the Broly movie. She slowly reached the ground, completely confused as to what the hell just happened. Gohan stopped giving ki, and slowly landed about 10 feet away. People actually clapped for that weird shit. 'Well... It's good!' Sunset thought. 'I don't even know why I did that.' Gohan thought. The people finally returned to the dance floor. And the two walked up to each other. "What did you just do?" Sunset asked. "I don't even know why I did it." Gohan said. "Whatever it was, it was awesome." Sunset said. "It- What?" Gohan asked. "It's like you were giving me your energy in some sort of interpretative dance." Sunset said. "I did give you my energy. I don't know, I improvised." Gohan said. "Well, it was good. You're the best when it comes to acting fast." Sunset said. 'Well... I guess that's a point.' Gohan thought. "I thought it was random." He said. "I think I'm done dancing now..." Sunset said. "Okay." Gohan said, holding her hand. She blushed a bit. "Where do we go now?" He asked. "I guess the punch again... I left my cup there." Sunset said. The two were back at that table. And the rest of the Humane 7 were coming in. "Look at you! Dancing all over the place!" Rainbow Dash said. "I improvised, I'm not a dancer!" Gohan retorted. "It was quite impressive." Rarity said. "See? It's good!" Sunset said. "I... How...?" Gohan asked. "Don't doubt yourself." Sunset said. "The best thing about is your confidence, Gohan." She added. "I'm overconfident if you ask me..." Gohan muttered. "What?" Sunset asked. "Nothing." Gohan said. "Students!" Celestia said from the stage. Everyone was listening to her. "The prom will be ending very soon. I would like to thank you all for coming! It's been an eventful night, and it's coming to a close. I hope to see you all on Monday for the last day of school!" Celestia said. The students all cheered. "More free time!" Gohan said. "And what are you gonna do with that free time?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Read, study, train, eat, practice... Yeah that's pretty much it." Gohan said, counting all that in his fingers. Five in total. "What about you guys?" He asked. "Nap, do more training, and maybe some other stuff." Rainbow Dash said. "I think we all are gonna do more training. But we're going to Camp Everfree before that." Applejack said. "I can only imagine all the 'scary' parts of it." Gohan said. "Same here." Sunset said. "I think we should all head home now." Twilight said. "It is late." Rarity said. "Oh. I came way too late today... Sorry again." Gohan said. "Don't apologize. I can't blame you." Sunset said. "I know it was a real tussle and all but how did the fight end!?" Pinkie asked. "I really don't want to go into detail." Gohan said. "Come on!" Twilight said. "No." Gohan said. "I really don't think he wants to talk about it." Sunset said. "It's sensitive, okay?" Gohan asked. "Fine." Rainbow Dash said. The group walked outside. "Well, sorry again, Sunset. I really wish Frieza hadn't came." Gohan said. "Don't worry about it!" Sunset said. "Bye!" Pinkie said, walking away. "Bye." The rest all said, leaving. Well, Sunset wasn't moving. Gohan was about to enter the portal. "Wait, Gohan." Sunset said. Gohan was less than a smidgimeter to the portal. He looked over his shoulder. "Yes?" He asked. "I... I need to talk to you about something." Sunset said. "Oh. Uh... What's up?" Gohan asked, stepping away from the portal. Sunset sat down on the steps. "Can you sit down with me for this?" She asked. "Uh... Sure thing." Gohan said, sitting down next to her. "So... I have a bit of a problem." Sunset said. "What's wrong?" Gohan asked. "Before we start, I just want to say, I really think you're thoughtful, and I'm touched by everything you've done tonight." Sunset said. "Uh... Okay. Thank you." Gohan said. She looked at the ground. "Seeing you self destruct was painful... But at the same time it made me admire you more for your bravery and care. You are the most selfless person I know." She said. Gohan nodded. "I really like hanging around you. Even after all this time, you never cease to amaze me and keep me happy." Sunset said. Gohan nodded. "And... Well... I think I really... Um... L-Like you..." Sunset said nervously. Gohan was pretty confused. 'I thought we already liked each other! We're friends!' He thought. "Do you understand?" Sunset asked, finally looking at Gohan. Gohan shook his head. "Oh. Sorry... I probably should've said something else... I mean, I really like you. I like that you're kind, strong and compassionate. And... I think I've developed feelings for you..." Sunset poured again. Still... "I still don't understand." Gohan said. Sunset was getting a little annoyed. But it was overshadowed by nervousness. She poured her heart out twice, but he still didn't understand. "I-I don't... I really... And... D-I..." Sunset kept repeating nervously. "Sunset? Are you okay?" Gohan asked. He put a hand to her forehead. "Do you have a fever or something? Doesn't feel like it." He said. "Look, I'm really trying hard to find the right words." Sunset said. "Sorry. Take all the time you need." Gohan said, taking his hand away. Sunset thought carefully. 'You know what? Screw it.' She thought. "Okay, I'll just say it. I'm in love with you, Gohan." Sunset said. That was... Very unexpected. "Y-You're what...?" Gohan asked. Sunset decided to go a step further. She lunged forward, grabbing his shirt and pulling him in for a kiss. Gohan's eyes widened and his pupils became shockingly tiny. 'She's WHAAAAAAAAT!?' He thought. Sunset blushed deeply. Gohan had a light blush. But he was shocked beyond belief. The kiss was about a minute. Sunset finally parted, and let go of his shirt. Gohan was still really surprised and shocked by Sunset. "I'm sorry... Do you understand?" Sunset asked. "I do, but... Why did you put your mouth up against mine?" Gohan asked. "...You don't know what a kiss is either?" Sunset asked. "Wait, that's what a kiss is? Oh." Gohan said. Sunset sighed in relief. 'He knows, at least.' She thought. "So... Um... What do you think?" Sunset asked. Gohan put a hand to his chin. Deep in thought. 'Welp... I was right. I thought I was wrong, but I was right. I really thought I was wrong... Oh well. I still have to give her some sort of answer. But do I really love her back? Well, she's kind, learns her lessons, strong willed, and overall very compassionate. Also, I don't know why, but I find her angry side to be pretty cu- Wait, what?' He thought. Now that he was actually thinking about it... "I... I haven't really thought of love before... Nor have I ever considered it. Ever." Gohan said. Sunset... Felt her heart break into a million tiny pieces. She frowned a bit... "But..." Gohan said, holding Sunset's hand. "That doesn't mean I'm not willing to try." He said with a smile. Well, that just changed Sunset's mood. "Y-You mean...!?" She asked. Gohan nodded. Sunset pulled Gohan in for a big hug. "Yay!" She said. Gohan hugged back. 'This is new...' He thought. "But..." Sunset said, breaking the hug. "I hope you're prepared, because I can be overly affectionate and easily aggravated at times." She said. "I can look at you and say I can look past your faults." Gohan said. "And I hope you're prepared, because I am totally clueless when it comes to this stuff." He said. "I've noticed..." Sunset said, before giggling. "And I am in a constant juggle of overconfidence and doubts about myself." Gohan added. "Well, I can say that I can look past your faults too." Sunset said. "Um... C-Can we kiss again?" Gohan asked. "You really like it?" Sunset asked. Gohan nodded. Sunset smirked before she dove in for another kiss. Gohan wasn't sure how it worked, but he still liked it. He closed his eyes along with her. Then, it broke again. "So... We're boyfriend and girlfriend now?" Sunset asked. "Sure... That sounds nice. Um... I'm going home now..." Gohan said, standing up. "See you on Monday..." Sunset said. "Yeah... Heheh." Gohan said, walking into the portal. ... "Yeah!" Sunset cheered, jumping up and throwing a fist up. *** Gohan came through the portal to see a very, very eager Twilight. "So, how was it...!?" She asked with a huge, wide grin. "I have to say, I loved it." Gohan said. "Did Sunset tell you!?" Twilight asked. "That she really likes me? Yeah." Gohan said. "And did you say yes!?" Twilight asked. Gohan blushed and nodded. "Finally! It's been too long, dang it!" Twilight said. "Wait, you knew?" Gohan asked. "She wrote to me about it!" Twilight said. "Oh... Okay." Gohan said. "I'm so happy for you two!" Twilight said. "Good. Uh... I'm going home to tell Goten." Gohan said. "Okay. Bye!" Twilight said. And that concludes that. The two miraculous failures. Both contributed to the ship. Author's Note I just woke up today and thought: "Holy shit! I'm gonna be a tumor today! I won't post in 15 years again!" Anyway, I tried doing the ship. Last time I tried shipping two people I fucked it up. Too much love and countless other things. I can only hope I don't fuck this one up. Wait... But what if I already did!? Damn it! Anyway I drew a picture for the ship. https://kuraekakashi.deviantart.com/art/Gohan-x-Sunset-Shimmer-739569679?ga_submit_new=10%3A1523251881 It's shit, but I tried. It's the best I could do. Also the heights are wrong so they're in the air. Equestria Girls: Legend of Everfree"I think she's having a nightmare." Gohan said. Everyone was on the bus to Camp Everfree. Except Goten, since he's not in the same grade. So he's stuck at home like: http://78.media.tumblr.com/1911a833afbc6144dd975c16bfecab50/tumblr_inline_n4ejg5jRQ81qzj8pu.jpg The seating is as follows... Twilight, Pinkie and Spike in one, Applejack and Rainbow Dash in another, Rarity and Fluttershy in another, and Gohan and Sunset in another. Gohan was allowed to not wear the camp shirt. So he didn't wear the shirt. "No...! No!" Twilight said in her sleep. "STOP!" She screamed. "We can't stop, silly!" Pinkie said. "What the...?" Twilight asked in her sleep. She was dreaming about Midnight Sparkle. Hopefully she won't be back, amirite? "This never happened before... Has it? Does she usually get night terrors?" Gohan asked. "A few times." Spike said. "Wake up, Twilight!" Spike yelled. She snapped awake. "Hey, are you okay?" Sunset asked. "I'm fine...! Just a bit of a nightmare, that's all..." Twilight said. "What was it about?" Gohan asked. "It doesn't matter..." Twilight said. Sunset was about to press further, but- "We are gonna have so much fun! We're gonna roast marshmallows and eat marshmallows and sleep on marshmallow pillows!" Pinkie said. "That sounds fun." Gohan said. "Yeah, probably not gonna happen." Rainbow Dash said. "Maybe YOU'RE not..." Pinkie said, hugging a bag of marshmallows. "Ooh, can I have a pillow?" Gohan asked. "Sure!" Pinkie said. 'Okay, Twilight had something worse than a nightmare.' Sunset thought. "Really wish Goten could've come." Gohan said. "You two are the inseparable brothers." Sunset said. "Why?" Pinkie asked. "I mean, he really wanted to go, and we really wanted to have a fishing competition." Gohan said. "But you didn't bring anything." Rainbow Dash said. "Well, I brought these." Gohan said, patting the pouch of senzu beans. "Hopefully we won't need them." He added. "Attention, students." Celestia said. "We're almost there. But before we arrive, we just wanted to say how proud we are of you for raising enough money to go on this class field trip." She said. "When we were your age, we made some of our favorite memories in these woods, and we're sure you will, too." Luna said. "When I was four, I lived alone in the woods for a year. Those aren't my favorite memories." Gohan whispered to Sunset. *** "What am I gonna do? I'm hungry and cold... I sure wish I had some pork dumplings..." Gohan said. He was four, wearing a tank top and green pants. Then he heard giant footsteps nearby. *** He was being chased by a goddamn dinosaur on the first day. *** Sunset giggled. "Now, who's excited for Camp Everfree!?" Celestia asked, throwing a fist up. Pretty much every student cheered. "Oh wait, we just hit traffic." Celestia said. The students all "Aww!"ed. *** The students got closer to Camp Everfree. Sunset was hugging Gohan's arm, which still confused him. And she fell asleep on it. But that's the not weird thing, the weird thing was that he felt something strange in the forest. 'That's odd... Where did this power come from?' He thought. 'Eh, it's nothing to worry about. Or... Is it? Last time I underestimated something it was bad for me. Eh, I'll take that bet. Only other worldly creatures have been a real nuisance.' He thought. *** Well, Camp Everfree. The students were grabbing their luggage from the bus. Gohan... didn't bring anything. He didn't need to. "Isn't Camp Everfree just beautiful? I can't wait until we have our first nature walk." Fluttershy said. "I definitely wanna go on one of those." Spike said. "You wanna see all the adorable woodland creatures, too?" Fluttershy asked. "Yeah! Specifically squirrels. More specifically, so I can chase 'em!" Spike said, barking. "I can't wait until we go fishing!" Gohan said. "I hope they have Paozu tuna here!" He added. "Or something similar, at least." He ended. "Again, you didn't bring a fishing rod, though." Rainbow Dash said. "Who says I needed that? I'm gonna catch it with my hands!" Gohan said, clenching his fists a few times. "Typical." Sunset said before giggling. "That's how the Goku family always did it. I mean, I was pounding the tuna when I was five." Gohan said. Then the Humane 7 all looked at him. "What? Without my dad, my mother needed someone to do it." He said. Rainbow Dash started laughing, then after five seconds she was done. "Anyway... I'm just lookin' forward to roughin' it. I'm gonna make my own shelter, forage for food..." Applejack said. "Uh, you know they provide us with food and tents, right?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Yup! Still gonna forage though." Applejack said. "You probably should because Gohan might devour the food supply." Sunset said. Everyone laughed. "Ha... I'm just after some R&R. The past two years has all been a bit too much for my tastes." Rarity said. "I'll say! We meet a superpowered alien without even realizing it, who changes his hair color to power up, fought three evil sirens who tried to hypnotize everybody with their singing, one ridiculously competitive rival school, then the alien's brother comes along, one giant monster that took a while to beat, with the same four foot tall alien somehow turning into a were monkey that also exploded into a gigantic dragon bigger and a gazillion times longer than the monster and fought two demon friends!" Pinkie sputtered. Then she realized who was there. "Uh, no offense." Pinkie said. "None taken." Sunset said. She turned to Twilight. "You'll get used to it." She said. "None taken as well." Gohan said. "Well, Canterlot High has become a regular magic magnet. Gonna be nice gettin' away to a place where we don't have to worry about that kinda stuff." Applejack said. "Plus, we have the extra protection just in case it so happens that we get attacked by magical creatures here." Rarity said. "Who don't even use magic." Twilight said. "It's like steroids with Gohan." Rainbow Dash said. "You guys have to be the strongest on this planet under me and Goten. You should be able to defend yourselves if necessary." Gohan said. Flash Sentry brought Twilight her bag. "Here you go, Twilight." He said. "Thank you, Flash!" Twilight said. "You're welcome!" He said, walking away. "See you around!" Twilight said. Sunset smirked at Twilight. "He's totally into you." She said. "Really?" Twilight asked sarcastically. "After every basketball game he comes up to me, he plays songs for me, and he just asked me out. I would've never known!" She said. "What'd you tell him?" Sunset asked. "Can't say." Twilight said. Then the announcements came from the loud speaker. Some feedback was there. Gohan was most affected by that crusty shit, because his hearing's a million times better. "Hey, everyone! If you could start heading to the courtyard, that would be rad! It's time to start the best week of camp ever!" A voice said. *** They were all at the courtyard. "Hi, everyone! Welcome to Camp Everfree! I'm Gloriosa Daisy, your camp director! Think of me as your friendly camp and nature guide. And this is my brother, Timber Spruce!" Gloriosa Daisy said on the microphone. "Think of me as that awesome guy... who should always be invited to fun things." Timber Spruce said. 'I just realizing how generic these names are.' Gohan thought. "We aim to please, so before we hand out our tent assignments, we'd like to hear from all of you. You're free to do whatever you like here." Gloriosa said. "Uh, except hike near the rock quarry. That's off limits." Timber said. "Yes, but otherwise your options are wide open! So what activities will make this the very best week of your lives ever?" Gloriosa asked. "Ooh! Rock climbing!" Rainbow Dash said. "Done!" Gloriosa said. "Archery!" Rainbow Dash said. "Of course!" Gloriosa said. "Tetherball!" Rainbow Dash said. "Naturally." Gloriosa said. Sunset pulled Rainbow Dash away. "Rainbow, I know you're excited, but maybe give somebody else a chance to make a suggestion." She said. "Arts and crafts!" Bulk Biceps said. Some people looked at him. "My mom... needs new pot holders." He said. "I'll supply the looms!" Gloriosa said. "Cookie decorating!" Pinkie said, licking her lips. "Ooh, I do make a mean sugar cookie!" Gloriosa said. "Early morning nature walks?" Fluttershy asked. "With walking sticks for everyone!" Gloriosa said. "Ooh! Me!" Rarity said. "Oh, uh... a fashion show! Where I design the most fabulous camp looks inspired by today's hottest trends AND have them modeled by my classmates in a gorgeous outdoor setting!" She said. "A camp tradition!" Gloriosa said. "We have literally never done that." Timber said. "Flying!" Gohan yelled. "I- What?" Gloriosa asked. "Flying sounds fun, but maybe you should pick another one." Applejack said. "Sparring!" Gohan yelled. "A-Again, not something they do, Gohan." Applejack said. "Fishing!" Gohan said. "The fish are right over there!" Gloriosa said, pointing at the lake. "Yay!" Gohan said, jumping once. They were able to see Gohan's tail. "Do you have a tail?" Timber asked. "I do." Gohan said. "A-Anyway... I-I'll be taking requests the rest of the time you're here, so if there's anything you'd like to do, anything you need, just ask." Gloriosa said, regaining her composure. Twilight and Timber looked at each other and she blushed a bit. Ooh... "What about the camp gift? That was MY favorite Camp Everfree tradition!" Celestia said. "The camp gift, of course!" Gloriosa said. "Really?" Timber whispered. "Yes really!" Gloriosa whispered. "I just thought..." Timber whispered. "Then you thought wrong!" She whispered. "Anyone else picking up on a little tension between Gloriosa and her brother?" Sunset asked. "Eh..." Pinkie and Twilight said. "A little." Pinkie said. "I'm picking up on some weird energy around them." Gohan said. "That sounds weird." Sunset said. "It's not much, just unusual." Gohan said. "Every year, campers work together to create something useful. A gift for future campers. Working toward this common goal is key to forming the strong bonds that will last well beyond your time here at camp!" Gloriosa said. Then she whispered to Timber. "Which is why it's so IMPORTANT." "This gazebo was a gift from last year's group. Oh, oh, oh, and the totem pole and the sundial were also made by campers!" Gloriosa said. "The sundial was OUR year's gift!" Celestia said. Luna coughed. "Even though 'some people' thought it was a little impractical, since the sundial can't be used at night." She said. Gloriosa chuckled. "You all seem like a really amazing group. So I'm certain you'll come up with something inspiring to leave behind!" She said. Everyone started to cheer. "Speaking of leaving things behind, now's the time when we give out tent assignments so you can leave your heavy bags behind." Timber said. "Anyway, girls will be getting their assignments from Timber. Guys, you're with me." Gloriosa said. So Gohan and the other boys gathered around her. And the girls gathered around Timber. So they lined up to get which tent they're in. How? Put your hand in a bag, then you see what you get. Pinkie pulled out the emerald one. "Yay! I'm in the Emerald Tent!" She said. Rarity was also emerald, Rainbow Dash and Applejack were aquamarine, and Fluttershy and Twilight were sapphire. Gohan and Sunset were in the same tent, too. Ruby. "I got ruby!" Sunset said. "Hey, so did I!" Gohan said. "Really? There must've been a mistake." Timber said. "Why?" Sunset asked. "Well, a few times we've had boys and girls share the same tent, but it's supposed to be two boys or two girls." Timber said. "Well, I don't mind my selection." Sunset said, wrapping an arm around Gohan and pulling him in tight. "We're dating." She said. Gohan nervously smiled and chuckled. 'I guess she wants it to be public.' He thought. "Oh. That's good. We've had reported sexual harassment in the tents when it came to a boy and a girl." Timber said. Sunset let go of Gohan. "I have a sapphire." Fluttershy said. "Me too! I mean, I'm assuming I am. Heheh. Technically, sapphires aren't just blue. Heheh. They can be pink, purple, yellow..." Twilight rambled. "Yeah, but they're mostly blue. That's why they're named after the Latin word sapphirus." Timber said, ignoring the fact that it happened again. Twilight smiled back at him. "That means blue!" He whispered. "I know! But did you know that sapphires are just rubies without chromium?" Twilight whispered. "No. But did you know that Sapphire Tent is the best one?" Timber asked, taking Twilight's card. "No, why's that?" Twilight asked. "Because you're in it." Timber flirted, raising his eyebrows a few times. "Oh, I bet you say that to all the campers." Twilight said, taking the card back. "Not true." Timber said, turning to Gohan. "You're in the ruby tent? Hah! That's the worst one!" Timber said. "It is? I don't really see much of a difference other than the gemstones. The ruby and the sapphire have practically the same hardness on the Mohs scale. The only difference is chromium, rarity and usual color. Unless you mean that the tent itself is in bad condition..." Gohan said. "Oh. You're good at gemstones?" Timber asked. "They're boring, but yeah." Gohan said. "Boring?" Timber asked, a little offended. "Then what's your favorite subject?" He asked. "Theoretical physics. But I guess at this point it's just physics." Gohan said. "What do you mean by that?" Timber asked. "I am not going tell a long story." Gohan said. "Oh, that's okay. The ruby tent isn't the worst, it's actually great." Timber said. "I know. I'm sharing it with the best possible person!" Gohan said. "Uh..." Bulk Biceps asked. "Where's the Amethyst tent?" He asked. "I'll go show you. See you around!" Timber said. The other girls giggled. "What?" Twilight asked. "Nothin..." Applejack said. "Ooh, that was adorable!" Rarity said. "What?" Twilight asked. "Now you have two guys on your tail. Good luck." Gohan said. "Oh..." Twilight said, blushing. Gloriosa blew a whistle. "Okay, everyone, go get settled in. We'll be meeting at the docks in fifteen minutes to go over some camp safety rules. Let me know if you need anything!" She said. Then some guy in a limo came. Filthy Rich. "I need somethin'." He said. "Filthy Rich! So nice to see you..." Gloriosa said, pulling him away from the crowds. "What are you DOING here?" She asked. "Just takin' in the scenery, Gloriosa Daisy. It's so... hmm... relaxin'." Filthy said. "Well, you can look around when camp is over. Now, if you don't mind..." Gloriosa said. The two had a bit of a staring contest. "Fine." He said, getting in his limo. Then she noticed Twilight, Sunset and Gohan watching. "Filthy Rich is, uh, an alumni of the camp. He likes to check on his old stomping grounds every now and again. But enough about him. Find your tents and put away your things. We've got the best week of camp ever to begin!" Gloriosa said. *** Gohan helped Sunset unpack in the tent. "We got lucky, huh?" Sunset asked. "Yeah. I can't believe it. Thank the Kais that happened." Gohan said, dropping his pouch of senzu beans in his chest at the foot of his bed. "When are you going to train?" Sunset asked. "After there's nothing else to do. I don't want to disrupt anyone. And freak those two out more than I already have with my tail." Gohan said. "I wonder how they'll react to the fishing." Sunset said. "Speaking of which..." Gohan said, setting some of her stuff in the chest at the foot of her bed. "Time to get some dinner!" He said, about to run off. "Wait." Sunset said. "Huh?" Gohan asked. Sunset walked up to Gohan and gave him a peck on the cheek. He blushed a bit. I mean, he would prefer a regular one... But that was still touching. "It's a good luck charm." She said. "Thanks..." He said, running off. Sunset giggled. 'He's cute.' She thought. *** Applejack and Rarity were walking around the tents. Rarity sighed. "I'm all for learning safety rules, but I do hope I can get started on my designs for the camp fashion show sooner rather than later." She said. "Huh. I still can't believe you talked Gloriosa into havin' a fashion show. We're in the middle of the woods, for cryin' out loud! We're supposed to be roughin' it!" Applejack said. "Gohan didn't bring any luggage or clothes! This would be perfect for him!" Rarity said. "And...? I mean, Gohan makes his own clothes appear. The only bad one is that cape he likes to wear." Applejack said. "It's clear from Gloriosa's own wardrobe that she appreciates a well put together look. Even if we are in the 'middle of the woods.'" Rarity said. "Fair enough. Just as long as you don't put me in your fancy pants outfits." Applejack said, walking away. Rarity smirked and crossed her arms. Applejack came back. "...You're gonna, aren't ya?" She asked. "No. Yes!" Rarity said. They continued their conversation from that point. Twilight was unpacking in the tent. Fluttershy was already by the dock. Sunset came in. Since Gohan just decided to run off. "Hey." She said. "Hi." Twilight said. Sunset pulled out a flashlight and tried to be a ghost before putting it away. "That was weird back there, right? With that guy, Filthy Rich?" Sunset asked. "Huh? Oh. Uh, I guess so." Twilight said. "I just have this feeling that Gloriosa's hiding something. Her brother is pretty cute, though, huh?" Sunset asked with a smirk. Twilight blushed a bit. "He's okay..." She said. "Ooh~! Now look who's trying to hide something. Now you have two guys to choose from." Sunset said, giggling. "Hey!" Twilight said. "Hey, you did this to me when you found out on the spot." Sunset said. "Oh, I guess that's reasonable. Say... You never told us how it went." Twilight said. "It was hilarious. I poured my heart out twice, and he didn't understand. When we kissed, he didn't even know what that was either." Sunset said. "He's smart, but clueless! It's like standing in a wheelchair. Do you know how much of an oxymoron that is? Him and Timber are gemstone experts, but Gohan is no romance expert." Twilight giggled. "I like how naive he is, though. It's funny, but kinda cute too." Sunset said. "Okay, well... That's good." Twilight said. "But I'm a little concerned about you. On the bus you were spazzing out." Sunset said. "Probably had another one of her nightmares." Spike said. Twilight threw her socks on Spike. "I'm fine. I mean, what do I have to complain about? Ever since I transferred here, everyone from CHS has been really nice and accepting, especially considering what happened at the Friendship Games." Twilight said. "That wasn't your fault. Principal Cinch is the one who encouraged you to try and use all that magic to win the Games for Crystal Prep. You weren't ready to have that kind of power. Especially against us... But it's over now. And if there's any group that's gonna forgive you for something that happened in the past, trust me, it's this one. Two of us have already gone through the same thing." Sunset said. "And if it ever happens... Gohan will just shut it down." Twilight said. "Or us." Sunset said. "Yeah." Twilight said. "You guys comin' or what?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Be right there!" Sunset said. "I just wanna put on some sunscreen. Can I borrow yours?" Sunset asked. "Sure! Let me just find it..." Twilight said. "Huh. I could've sworn I packed it." Twilight said. Sunset was looking, too. "Found it!" Twilight said, pointing at the sun- What the fuck? It's floating? Everything around them, including Spike is, too. Somewhere on the docks... 'Why does it feel like Twilight kind of ponied up?' Gohan thought. "Did you...? How is this possible!?" Sunset asked. "I can't believe this! It's..." Twilight said. "Amazing!" "Terrible!" Sunset and Twilight said at the same time. Then Twilight somehow dropped everything. "Are you kidding? This is great! I mean, we've all ponied up before, gotten the whole ears and wings and tail thing, shot magical rainbow lasers, gain extreme power, but nothing like this has ever happened! How did you do it?" Sunset asked. "I don't know! Maybe I didn't. Maybe it's her!" Twilight said, referring to Midnight Sparkle. She was freaking out. "Her who?" Sunset asked. "Nothing. Never mind. Can we just not talk about it? And could you please not bring this whole levitating thing up to the others?" Twilight asked. "Why not?" Sunset asked. "You heard Applejack. This is supposed to be the place where everyone can get away from magic. I don't want them to know I brought some crazy new kind with me." Twilight said. "I won't say anything, but I doubt Gohan won't find out." Sunset said. "Thank you." Twilight said, walking out the tent. "Okay, but this isn't necessarily a bad thing!" Sunset exclaimed. Sunset saw the sunscreen and tried herself. "Aw..." She said. "I think you're just gonna have to pick it up." Spike said. "I'll just do it the traditional way." Sunset said, barely struggling to lift it with her ki. Well, she got it to her hands. "Woah. How'd you do that?" Spike asked. "Gohan gave me a private lesson." Sunset said. "That's cool. You two kissed then?" Spike asked with a smirk. "That was before last week, Spike." Sunset said. "Oh." Spike said. Sunset walked out of the tent. As she walked, she accidentally ran into Gloriosa. 'Show up like that!' Sunset heard in her head. "What did you say?" Sunset asked. "I... didn't say anything. Just here to make sure everyone was headed over to the docks! Did you need something?" Gloriosa asked. "Nope." Sunset said. "Because if there is anything I can do to make this week the best week ever, you just let me know. I've got this!" Gloriosa said. "I'm fine." Sunset said. "Also, I was given a tip that we messed up on the tent sharing?" Gloriosa asked. "It's boys with boys and girls with girls, but I somehow landed in the same tent as a boy." Sunset said. "Do you want to change?" Gloriosa asked. "Nope!" Sunset said. "You sure you don't need anything?" Gloriosa asked. "No thanks, I'm good." Sunset said. Gloriosa walked away. Spike happened to walk up to Sunset. "People that chipper make me nervous." She said. Then a hug came from behind. "This is gonna be so much fun!" Pinkie exclaimed. "I guess not all people." Sunset said. *** The Humane 7 were at the lake. "Oh, it's beautiful, isn't it? It looks like a diamond shining in the sun!" Rarity said. A giant fish was punched out of the deep end of the water. It was similar to Paozu tuna, and that shit's huge. "It is lovely out here. The fresh air, the cool breeze, the birds that land on your finger..." Fluttershy said, having a bird land on her finger. Another fish. "And the fish getting punched out of the water..." Pinkie said. "I think that only happens to you, Fluttershy." Rainbow Dash said. Fluttershy shook her head. "I've seen Gohan do it." She said. Gloriosa came, and now the kids were around Gloriosa. "Lake activities are available every day until sunset, so if you want to canoe, sail, windsurf, or swim, just let me know." She said. "Then someone needs to get Gohan out of the water because he's still punching fish out of the water." Rainbow Dash said. "He's doing what!?" Gloriosa asked. Then a giant tuna fell to her feet. "Sorry! You can have that one!" Gohan yelled before diving back in. "Is he doing that without a bathing suit!?" Gloriosa asked. "How many of those are in the lake...?" Twilight asked. "A lot. But how is he even doing that? I could've sworn I kept them away..." Gloriosa said, referring to the fish deep inside the lake. "Kept what away? He's natural like that. The flying, the energy blasts, the teleportation, and pretty much anything." Sunset said. "He does what!?" Gloriosa asked. "He even taught us a few moves! Like this! Whee!" Pinkie said, flying around Sunset. "And he taught us to do this." Sunset said, holding her hand out and making a ball of ki. Gloriosa looked like she was about to faint. Everyone stopped those things. *** Fluttershy was feeding the ducks, Gohan was now just swimming in the water and Twilight was walking. "Aren't they just the cutest!?" Fluttershy asked. Twilight nodded, but then a piece of wood broke and she fell over. Timber caught her, luckily. "Whoa! I know I'm charming, but you don't have to fall for me." He said. Flash looked from afar and sighed. Sunset walked up to him. "Guess I can't get too jealous, right? After all, she isn't MY Twilight. Not that the other Twilight was mine! But we were... you know." He said. 'So she declined... I think.' Sunset thought. "Yeah, I get it. I mean, I know. But your Twilight is a princess in Equestria. Hate to break it to you, but that's where she's gonna spend most of her time." Sunset said. "Does he hang around her often?" Flash asked, pointing at Gohan. "Yeah, pretty much. Don't think he's trying to get her. He can never see it that way." Sunset said. "Why?" Flash asked. "He already found someone." Sunset said. "Really? That's interesting. Who?" Flash asked. Sunset giggled and blushed. "...No...... Really?" Flash asked. "Yeah.... Heheh..." Sunset said. "Oh... A-Anyway, you're saying I just need to get over her?" Flash said. "Maybe. I mean, the princess is definitely into you. Trust me, I know. But she's not gonna be around. The last time she came she wasn't even here for ten seconds. She just had to get him to fight some evil universe overlord." Sunset said, pointing at Gohan. Who was playing with smaller fish. Then someone threw a marshmallow at his forehead. It was Pinkie. "Why'd you do that?" Gohan asked. "FEED IT TO THE FISHIES!" Pinkie screamed. "They don't even eat this! What are you thinking!?" Gohan asked. "I guess you're right. Ouch. You're not pulling any punches." Flash said. "Not really my thing, sorry." Sunset said, lightly punching his shoulder. "Stop pegging marshmallows at me!" Gohan yelled, catching marshmallows and eating a few. "No!" Pinkie yelled, throwing marshmallows at Gohan. Then Gohan saw the biggest fish in the lake right under him. Yeah, a nice 40 feet under him. He grinned. 'That's a big one! Here I come!' He thought before diving down into the water. A marshmallow missed him soon after. "Aw!" Pinkie said. Luna, Celestia and Gloriosa were inspecting the damaged wood. "This is a safety hazard. I suggest we close down the dock for the remainder of the camp." Luna said. The students all groaned. "Oh, I'm sure it won't have to be for the remainder of camp. Just needs to be patched up a bit. I've got this!" Gloriosa said. "Huh. Or maybe we do! If you ask me, this whole dock needs to go." Applejack said, kicking the wood off the log. "Building a new one could be our camp gift. Sure, it would benefit us, but a nice new dock would benefit future campers, too." She said. The students cheered. "I don't know. It's an awful lot of work. I wouldn't want you guys to miss out on doing other fun camp stuff because you're so busy building a dock for future campers." Timber said. Sunset noticed the tension between the siblings again. "I hear what you're saying, Timber, but we're Canterlot Wondercolts. We've got a reputation to uphold! And there was no way we're gonna leave this place without contributing the most awesome camp gift ever! I'm with AJ. Building a new dock is definitely it! What do you guys think?" Rainbow Dash asked. The students cheered. "How will we do this? It's going to be difficult to take this apart." Timber asked. "Don't worry! We have the perfect destruction plan! And maybe the perfect construction plan... Hey Gohan! Get out of the water!" Sunset yelled. Gohan jumped out of the water onto land with the biggest fish in the lake in one hand. "Why isn't he wearing a bathing suit?" Timber asked. "He drys off very easily." Rarity said. Gohan shook himself dry, so his hair was its usual spikyness. "How is he holding that fish!?" Timber asked. "He's really, really strong." Rainbow Dash said. "What's up?" Gohan asked. "Why don't you destroy the dock for us?" Sunset asked. "With ki or...?" Gohan asked. "Either or." Sunset said. Gohan started to walk to the end of the dock, on the land. "What are you gonna do?" Timber asked. "You guys should probably get off the dock." Gohan said. The principals and Gloriosa got off. Gohan dug his fingers underneath the dock. "He'll get hurt!" Gloriosa said. "No he won't. He's taken on worse." Applejack said. "Much, much worse." Sunset said. Then a loud crack could be heard. Gohan lifted the entire dock! It was surprisingly intact. The two siblings looked in shock. The others just got used to it. "Looks like it's settled, then... We have no dock now." Gloriosa said. *** The building of the docks was occurring. Some students were struggling to hit nails in. Most notably Derpy. Kept missing the nail. And Timber smashed his thumb. "Ack!" He yelled, grabbing his thumb. "Are you okay?" Twilight asked. "Yeah, I'll be fine..." Timber said. "Should I hit the nail in?" Gohan asked. "If you want." Timber said, holding the hammer out to him. Gohan just knelt down and pressed his thumb on the nail, getting it in the wood. Timber was surprised yet again. "All right, now. You've made a lot of progress, but it's going to be getting dark soon. We can pick this up tomorrow between our other camp activities." Celestia said. "Everyone, get cleaned up, and we'll gather by the fire pit at eight to share s'mores and scary stories!" Gloriosa said. "And maybe you can have some of the fish I caught!" Gohan said, pointing to his collection of Paozu-like tuna. "You're willing to share?" Gloriosa asked. "I wouldn't want to hog it all for myself." Gohan said. *** It was six. Assignments were done, so hey! 'Training time!' Gohan thought, running off to a secluded location. Nice forest, a mountain right nearby, and the breeze was nice. He wasn't near the rock quarry. Gohan got on one hand for push-ups. 'I really wish dad was back to see my progress. Or really to defend the planet in place of me. It's kind of getting in the way of my studies.' He thought as he did push-ups. 'I bet me getting the power of a Super Saiyan would really make him proud! Maybe I'll go visit Other World again while I'm here, try and find them again. But they're probably destroyed like Bulma and Trunks. I'm just hoping not. Dad's too strong for that! He's the best, stronger than me, even! I'm sure of it! But I wonder if he got any new forms.' He thought. *** "This is a power beyond that of a Super Saiyan God!" Goku said. *** 'I bet it's really cool! Much cooler than Super Saiyan 4, I bet. That just looks like a monkey Super Saiyan, in my opinion.' Gohan thought as he switched hands. 'Goten really needs to meet him. Dad would call him 'mini me!' Because he is quite literally a miniature version of dad. I'm really excited to meet him again, too. I just want it to happen soon!' He thought. 'Santa Claus may say he's a threat to the entire universe, but that's never gonna happen! He would never!' He thought. *** "IF WE LOSE, THE UNIVERSE WILL BE DESTROYED!? YOU DUMBASS!" Beerus yelled. *** 'I really wonder what other antics are going to affect Equestria. First it was Bojack, then Hirudegarn, and Frieza...' Gohan thought as he stood up. "Hey." A voice said from behind. Gohan looked over his shoulder. "Sunset?" He asked. "You're training, huh?" Sunset asked. Gohan turned around and nodded. "Care if I join you?" Sunset asked, getting into a fighting pose. Pretty much Gohan's. "I suppose I won't." Gohan said. Sunset charged at Gohan, throwing a fist. Gohan dodged, then dodged another punch and then a kick. He caught a chop by Sunset and threw her to the side. She grabbed the ground and used her feet to stop her momentum. She jumped back into the fray. With a new technique. Gohan thought he was seeing things, because all of a sudden he saw two Sunsets on top of each other charging at him. Instead of using his sensing, he acted on instinct, trying to block from above. He was going to transition down when the first one hit, since she was attacking first. But, when the one on top threw a punch, it went right through him. "What the-" Gohan said before Sunset punched him in the stomach. She grinned. But it do no damage since, well, she was not really that strong. "Wow. That was good." Gohan said, jumping back. "Oh wait, I forgot to pony up. No wonder it didn't work! One sec." Sunset said, ponying up. Her usual white aura turned red. "You get stronger every time I see you." Gohan said. "I've got more up my sleeve!" Sunset said with a smirk before darting right for Gohan. Sunset started rushing him with barrages of punches and kicks. Gohan was just blocking. 'Her speed's improved a lot! I feel a bit more malice than usual from her... Is it the relationship or something?' He thought. Eventually Sunset threw a kick upwards, which he jumped high up to dodge. "Gotcha." She muttered before trailing him from the side. Gohan aimed his palm at her and fired a wave of ki. Sunset was pushed back, but she flew back at him. She was on the exact same level of height as him now. Now, Gohan saw it again. Two Sunsets on top of each other. 'I won't fall for it again!' He thought. But for some reason, the Sunset on the bottom fell back, cupping her hands together, while the one on the top charged at Gohan head on. Gohan aimed his hands at the Sunset on the bottom. But, all of a sudden, the Sunset on the top smashed her fist downwards on his head! Catching him completely by surprise. He was sent towards the ground! But that wasn't the last thing. "Kamehameha!" Sunset below yelled, firing the Kamehameha wave at him. A direct hit in the back! He was sent flying into other trees. The Sunset on the top disappeared into smoke. But, Gohan recovered quickly, using the closest tree to jump down to the ground, and fly right back up to Sunset. He punched her right in the cheek! Caught her right off guard with that speed. Sunset recoiled a bit before finally regaining her footing. "Ouch... That was fast." Sunset said with a grin. "Speak for yourself. You really caught me off guard with that." Gohan said. Sunset chuckled. "I took the entire weekend to do them." She said. "They were really cool." Gohan said. "I tried doing your Multi-Form Technique, but that was the best I could do." Sunset said. "Dang, it was faster than mine!" Gohan said. "And you used the After Image Technique, I see. A much better version." He said. "I realized I could move with the after image, too." Sunset said. "That's great! It's really hard for me to do that." Gohan said. "Right?" Sunset asked. "You've got me pumped for some more training. Let's go!" Gohan said. "Alrighty!" Sunset yelled as she charged at Gohan. The two started throwing punches instead of it being one sided again. *** Gohan and Sunset were laying down on the ground, panting. Sunset had few cuts and scratches, while Gohan remained to be relatively unharmed. "That... Was... Intense..." Sunset said. Gohan sat up. "That was fun!" He said. "I'm so sore..." Sunset said. "I never thought you were able to fight so fiercely." Gohan said. "Well, I was Princess Celestia's student..." Sunset said. "I may have held back, but you really managed to tire me out." Gohan said. "Wow... That's a real accomplishment for me." Sunset said. Gohan chuckled. "I wish you could go Super Saiyan. Or that you were a Saiyan in general, that would be pretty cool." He said. "So I would have that hack?" Sunset asked with a grin. "Hack? Oh, you mean how I get stronger after every fight?" Gohan asked. "Yeah. That's a bit unfair, dude." Sunset said, sitting up. "Hey, I didn't ask to be a Saiyan. I'm happy, but it just got me into more troubles than I can count." Gohan said. "Like seeing more people die than most people in general?" Sunset asked. "Yeah, that. But, I guess these troubles are automatically made okay." Gohan said. "How?" Sunset asked, genuinely confused. He turned his head towards her. "Because I'm with you now." Gohan flirted. Sunset giggled and blushed. "You really think so?" She asked. "I know so! I mean, I know I didn't even comprehend love before prom, but I like it. It's amazing how differently I can see you because of it." Gohan said. Sunset hugged his arm and rested her head on his shoulder, making him blush. "I'm glad you're happy. At least I'm not just being a burden on you or anything." She said. The size difference was laughable. "Even if you were, right now, I wouldn't give up on you." Gohan said. "Aw... That's sweet." Sunset said. The two looked at each other. Gohan with his usually open eyes and Sunset with her sultry eyes. "Hey! Lovebirds!" Moment Killer Rainbow Dash yelled from behind. Gohan and Sunset looked over their shoulders. "It's storytelling time! Let's go!" Rainbow Dash said, running off. *** Story telling was happening. Gohan was eating the absurd amount of fish. Everyone else just declined. "...And that's when she looked down and realized she was wearing purple socks with a burgundy dress!" Rarity said, weeping. Nothing really. "Purple and burgundy, darlings! The same color family!" She yelled. The other students weren't really scared. "Uh... that was a terrifying story." Applejack joked. Rainbow Dash chuckled. "Yeah, I'm terrified she'll try to tell it again." She said. "Anyone else have a spooky story?" Luna asked. Sunset nudged Gohan with her elbow. "Tell them a story!" She whispered. "Too personal." Gohan said. "You don't have to say you did it." Sunset whispered. "Oh. Maybe. Hey, I-" "I have one. But I'm warning you, you might as well hug a friend now. That's how scary it is!" Timber interrupted. Spike jumped to Fluttershy in fear, Fluttershy whimpered, Bulk Biceps was scared, and a lot of other things. "I'm hugging the fish." Gohan said. Everyone laughed. "It's time I told you about the legend of Gaea Everfree." Timber said. "Many years ago, my great-grandparents came to this forest. Seeing its beauty, they decided that it would be the perfect place for a camp. But once they started building, strange things started to happen. One pitch black night, when the wind was howling, a tree branch crashed through the roof of their cabin! They screamed and ran outside, only to see the giant creature rising from the earth! She had wild hair like the roots of a tree. Her mouth had jagged rock teeth and her eyes were pools of black tar. But her aura shimmered like diamonds. Anywhere she went, she left a trail of gem dust in her wake. Trembling, my great-grandparents asked who she was and what she wanted. In a deep and hollow voice, she told them that her name was Gaea Everfree - an ancient spirit who held domain over the forest, and that my great-grandparents were trespassing on her land. They begged her to let them stay and build their camp, to share this wonderful place with others. Gaea Everfree finally agreed but warned them that they would not be able to keep it forever. Someday, she will return and reclaim the forest as her own." He said. "So if you see a trail of gem dust, you'll know that it is... Gaea Everfree!" He yelled. And then Gloriosa came out of the bushes, making some students scream. 'Not that scary.' Gohan thought. "Hey guys! Sorry! Didn't mean to scare you!" She said, sitting down. "Then why'd you come out of the bushes?" Sunset asked. "I... took the scenic route, because the forest is beautiful at night. But no one else should do it without a guide, kay?" Gloriosa said, sitting down. "Anyway, that story is nothing!" Sunset said. "Really? You can come up with better?" Timber asked. "This guy can!" Sunset said, nudging Gohan. "Oh, fine. I'll give a chronicle." Gohan said. "Alright! He's sharing it!" Rainbow Dash said. "Let me tell you the story about the Saiyans." Gohan said. "There was a baby coming from a destroyed planet. His parents sent him to a distant planet called Earth so that he could either save himself or take it over." *** "Then, the boy grew up! He was now an adult with a son and a wife. Everything was peachy... Until the Saiyans came. One Saiyan who survived the doomed planet came to Earth to see the boy. Turns out, it was his brother! He kidnapped his son!" *** "The boy sacrificed himself in order to save the planet, being drilled right in the stomach! The blood was everywhere, and he was on his last legs." Gohan said. Some students cowered in fear. "I-Is that it?" Gloriosa asked. "No, we're just getting started! He died!" Gohan said. *** "The two other Saiyans showed up!" *** "Oh god, everyone's dead! One got blown up, one lost his arm and then died, another blew himself up and the boy's greatest enemy sacrificed himself for his son." *** "He gets there, and makes the first one pay! Eventually he broke his back saving the two survivors!" *** "He turned into a giant monkey, crushing the boy!" *** "And with that, he was let go. Many fell, but Earth remained standing. But, the next adventure involves a new planet. A planet called Namek... Where there was more bloodshed, a freaky alien genotype and when you thought it can't get any worse... The planet explodes." Gohan ended. Pretty much everyone but the Humane 7 and Spike was trembling. "O-Okay, that's scary and sad." Timber said. "Very, very descriptive." Gloriosa said. "It's a true story!" Rainbow Dash said. "Where did any of this come from!?" Snips asked. "Can't say." Gohan said. "You won't tell us the origin?" Timber asked. "Planet Earth." Gohan said. "That's... Where even is that?" Timber asked. "Another solar system." Gohan said. "Can't you be more specific?" Trixie asked. "Nope!" Gohan said. "All right, everybody, time to head to your tents." Gloriosa said. *** Well, everyone was in their tent. Everyone was going to sleep. Gohan sighed as he took off his boot. "Is something wrong?" Sunset asked. "I think I just endangered the fish population." Gohan said. Sunset giggled. "Is that what's wrong?" She asked. "Not really, I just have a bad feeling about this place." Gohan said, taking off his wristbands. "What do you mean?" Sunset asked. "I feel like there's a pretty big power from somewhere, I felt like Twilight ponied up for a moment, and Gloriosa has a weird power level." Gohan said. "Well... I don't know anything that could add up to that." Sunset said. "I wouldn't expect you to." Gohan said. "I haven't taught you sensing yet." He added. He started to take his weighted shirt off. "You have...not..." Sunset said, looking at his body a bit. She looked away as quickly as she could. He put his orange shirt back on. See, he learned from that mistake. "But Camp Everfree's good, right?" Sunset asked. "Yeah. It's a good place to stay, I'd say." Gohan said, laying down on the bed. "Timber's story seemed a bit scary when Gloriosa randomly showed up, huh?" Sunset asked. "Not really. The only random part about that was her random increase in power." Gohan said. "She had a what?" Sunset asked. "An increase in power. As if she had gone through some training." Gohan said. "Oh... That doesn't sound good." Sunset said. "I mean, it's no threat. You don't even have to pony up to surpass her or anything." Gohan said. "I guess that's a relief." Sunset said. "Did that scare you or something?" Gohan asked. "Kind of. I don't want to fight any more monsters because the last time we almost got killed trying to help." Sunset said. "That's why I said no originally." Gohan said. "But we did it anyway." Sunset said. "Which scared me beyond anything." Gohan said. Sunset giggled. "Alright, good night, Gohan." She said. "Good night." Gohan said, getting under the covers. 'Maybe I should introduce him to cuddling tomorrow.' Sunset thought. *** It was morning and- Goddamnit, another nightmare for Twilight. Midnight keeps terrorizing the poor girl, damn it! And she burst awake with another- "NO!" She screamed. Waking Fluttershy up. She sprang out of bed on a handstand. "What happened Mr. Bear!? The monster won't win against Friendship!" She said half asleep. "What? Sorry, Fluttershy... Nothing happened." Twilight said. Fluttershy collapsed back onto the bed. She got the covers back on herself and fell back asleep. 'Thank goodness... Now, what do I do about this...?' Twilight thought. She was making the bed, the lamp, the luggage and the bed for Spike float. She accidentally made everything fall. Woke Spike up. "Is it time to get up already...?" He asked before falling back asleep. *** Everyone was by the dock. Gohan sported the Piccolo gi without the cape. It was with a blue belt and wristbands instead of red this time. Derpy and Sandalwood were sailing. Twilight was walking up to Sunset. "Sunset, something happened this morning." She said. "What?" Sunset asked. "I was making everything float without realizing it." Twilight whispered. "Oh. That's not necessarily a bad thing. Unless it did harm..." Sunset said. "It didn't, but I couldn't control it." Twilight said. Derpy and Sandalwood were just stuck there with no wind. But then they instantly sprang at 200 miles per hour towards the dock and destroyed part of it! "What happened!?" Rainbow Dash asked. "I didn't mean to!" Twilight said. "We didn't see anything, so we don't know what happened." Sunset said, rushing to the scene. "Are you okay?" Sunset asked Sandalwood. "Yeah. It was so weird. We were stuck in a middle of the lake with no wind, then all of a sudden, bam! The wind picked up, and we were pushed right into the dock." Sandalwood said. Timber took him and Derpy elsewhere. Pinkie gasped. "You don't think it was the spirit, do you!?" She asked. "No... It was me..." Twilight muttered. "Hey... Why are you wearing that today?" Pinkie asked. "Where'd you even get it from without any luggage?" Trixie asked. "I made it." Gohan said. But then he felt some shit in the river. "What's that?" Rarity asked, pointing at some magic in the river. "Is that magic?" Gohan asked. 'Nonononononononono!' Twilight thought. "Magic? You're kidding, right?" Applejack asked. Gohan was about to answer then saw the nervousness on Twilight's face. "...Yeah, I'm only kidding. It must be some sort of dye." He lied. Confusing Twilight. 'She has to answer some questions later.' He thought. "Oh, man! All our hard work! Ruined!" Rainbow Dash said. "Not all of it. Only that small portion of the dock was ruined." Gohan said. "At least the fishies are eating well." Fluttershy said. "The little ones, at least." Gohan said. "Let's salvage what we can out of the water. Maybe we can still fix this." Sunset said. "On it!" Gohan said, jumping into the water. "We have to try! Camp Everfree needs a runway!" Rarity said. "Dock." Applejack corrected. "Dock. Yes. That's what I meant." Rarity said. Twilight ended up running away for... You know, reasons. She ran into the forest. *** Sunset was looking around for Twilight. She even looked in the sapphire tent, but no luck. Spike didn't know either. "Hey Gohan, do you know where Twilight is?" Sunset asked in the Ruby tent. Gohan pointed a finger in a certain direction. "Thanks!" Sunset said, running off. Spike followed her. 'I really want to know what she's hiding... Eh, I'll ask later. Right now...' Gohan said, pulling out some leftover fish from yesterday and licking his lips. *** Twilight was wandering around the forest. "Keep it together... Deep breaths... You are NOT a monster." Twilight repeated to herself. Then she bumped into something and screamed. That something screamed too. It was Timber. "Oh, hi!" Twilight said, before chuckling nervously. "What are you doing here?" She asked. "Uh...... Looking for you." Timber said, pointing at Twilight. "Oh, I just went on a nature walk and got a little lost." Twilight said. "Let me show you the way." Timber said, walking away. Twilight followed. "I'm kind of an expert at these woods. I've lived here my whole life." He said. "That must have been nice. Growing up at a camp." Twilight said. "Yeah, though it has its downsides. When I was younger, I wished we'd sell this place so we could live in a town like normal people." Timber said. "Really?" Twilight asked. "I was ten. I really wanted to hang around the mall." Timber said. The two giggled a bit. "I've never told that to anyone. You must be special." He said. The two blushed. Ooh... "And not just because you have tree branch in your hair." He said, taking said thing out of her hair. "Ugh. How long has that been in there?" Twilight asked. "Not long. Just the whole time we've been talking." Timber said. "Then why didn't you say something?" Twilight asked. Sunset and Spike watched from a bush. "I guess we can help Twilight deal with the magic stuff a little later." She said. *** Now the campers were rock climbing. "Rock climbing is all about perseverance and trust. Rarity, you can trust that Applejack will spot you." Celestia said. "Or if she can't, I'll just fly out of it." Rarity said. "Yeah, so you can totally go faster than you're going." Rainbow Dash said. "Rainbow Dash!" Applejack said. "Sorry! I've been waiting to do this since we got here! And they won't let us do it without a partner!" Rainbow Dash said. "Then what's he doing?" Rarity asked, pointing at Gohan, who was rock climbing. About 60% of the way up. "What the... He's gonna get hurt!" Timber said. Twilight also just got here. "No he isn't." Twilight said. "He's ten or something! We have to get him down!" Timber said. "I don't think we need to. He can just fly down if he wants to. Or he could've flown up, either way." Rainbow Dash said. "Flying!?" Timber asked. "He's been able to do it for a long time now." Twilight said. "Speaking of whom, Gohan!" Rainbow Dash said. "Yeah?" He asked. "Can you spot me?" Rainbow Dash asked. "I don't know what that means, but alright." Gohan said, jumping off from the top of the wall. "I'll go get the harness!" Rainbow Dash said, running off. "I was told you can fly?" Timber asked. "Yeah." Gohan said. "Can you show me?" Timber asked. "Okay..." Gohan said. He flew back up to the top and came back down at that. Timber gawked at that. Then he flew back down to Timber. "Okay, I showed it to you." He said. "H-How...?" Timber asked. "Wait a second... I forgot to do something, oh no! Be back in a moment." Gohan said, teleporting away. To avoid confrontation. And also because he really had to do something. Timber looked like he had just seen a ghost! "He's confusing, I know." Twilight said. "I-I better make sure my sister doesn't need anything. See you later?" Timber asked, slowly walking away. The two looked at each other with sultry eyes. Ooh... Even romantic music was playing. Even better. Then he finally walked away. "Twilight, there you are!" Sunset said, walking up to Twilight. "I was looking for you." She said. Then there was an earthquake! "Was that an earthquake?" Spike asked. "We aren't near any fault lines." Twilight said. "HEY!" Bulk Biceps yelled. "Who left this crystaly dusty stuff here!?" He yelled. And in that moment, Rarity slipped and the harness was holding her in air. She freaked out, forgetting she could fly. "I BELIEVE I'D LIKE TO COME DOWN NOW!" She said. Applejack tried pulling her down, but- "Sorry! It's a little bit stuck!" She said, gaining super strength all of a sudden. She pulled on it, sending Rarity flying up. And she let go, making Rarity fall down super fast. At the last second, she caught the rope to save her. "APPLEJACK! What are you doing!?" Rarity yelled. "Is everything okay over there?" Celestia asked. "Uh, I don't know what happened. I didn't even pull the rope that hard. It's like she was light as a feather all of a sudden." Applejack said. "So what, did you just turn into Gohan all of a sudden?" Sunset asked. "I was scared half to death!" Rarity said. "It wasn't my fault! Let me help get your harness off." Applejack said. "No thank you!" Rarity yelled, unleashing a giant gem to push Applejack away. What? She was pushed into a lake. She came out of the bushes, drenched. "What in the world just happened!?" Celestia asked, rushing to Applejack. "Oh, dear! I am so sorry! I think. Did I just do whatever that was?" Rarity said. "I don't think it was your fault... I'm gonna go get Applejack a towel." Twilight said, walking away. "Me too." Sunset said, walking away with Spike. Then Gohan popped back into reality. "I'm ba- What just happened?" He asked, noticing a drenched Applejack. "Rarity just did something to Applejack." Sunset said. "That wasn't what I meant. Why is Applejack a hundred times stronger and Rarity feels stronger too?" Gohan asked. "Where were you?" Applejack said. "World of the Kais. I was going to do some training since I'm done with my assignments, but nobody was there. Left a note about a tournament or something. Something about destroyers...? I don't know. Wish they invited me..." Gohan said. Sunset caught up to Twilight. "You're not the only one with a new kind of magic! This is great!" Sunset said. "No, it's not! Rarity and Applejack could have really hurt each other! Why is this happening? I don't-" "Hey girls!" Gloriosa interrupted. "Anything I can do for you?" She asked. "Uh, Applejack just fell into the lake!" Twilight said. "Oh, no! She's gonna need warm towels, dry clothes, oh, and a hot cocoa! I've got this!" Gloriosa said, walking away. "Twilight, Sunset." Gohan said from behind. "Care to explain what's happening?" He asked. "Well..." Twilight said. Then there was screaming all of a sudden. From inside the cabin. "Fluttershy?" The three asked, rushing to the cooking place. They opened the doors. "What happened!?" They all asked. "I don't know. We were just decorating cookies and-" "And I was all, "You need more sprinkles! And you need more sprinkles!"" Pinkie said. "So standard Pinkie Pie stuff?" Sunset asked. "With explosives this time?" Gohan asked. "I was just tossing sprinkles to Fluttershy, when all of a sudden they glowed pink and exploded!" Pinkie said, throwing the sprinkles at Gohan. They exploded in his face, making it black. It kind of blew the others' hair backwards. "It smells like candy." Gohan said, wiping his face. Pinkie shook her head so that her hair was normal again. "Just like that, only earlier!" She said. "Oookaay. Why don't you lay off touching stuff for a while?" Sunset asked, grabbing Pinkie's hand. Gohan set her hair straight again. "Thanks." She said. "Oh, dear. We really should clean all of this up." Fluttershy said, walking over to the paper towels. She struggled to reach up. What could she do!? Oh, I don't know, FLY? "Can someone help me out?" She asked. "You can fly..." Gohan said. Then a bird came in and grabbed it for her. He dropped in her arms. He landed on Fluttershy's finger. "Thank you, Mr. Bird." She said. Then he tweeted. "Why of course I can get you a little something to ea-" Fluttershy said, before realizing she was talking to him. "Did you just talk?" She asked. The bird tweeted. "But I don't speak 'chirp.'" Fluttershy said. The bird tweeted again. "I don't know if you're the only bird I can understand." Fluttershy said. Tweet. "No, please don't call for your friends." Fluttershy said. Then seven more birds came, and Fluttershy stuck her arms out to hold them all, dropping the paper towels. "It's nice to meet all of you, too." She said. "Were you just talking to the birds?" Sunset asked. "Um... Yes?" Fluttershy asked. Then the door burst open and she screamed, making the birds all fly away. It was Rarity and Applejack. "Did you tell them what happened? So crazy! I hoisted Rarity up the rock climbin' wall like it was nothin'! Like I had way more strength than I usually do." Applejack said. "That's what I just said." Gohan said. "And I made a diamondy thing appear out of nowhere, which normally I'd be excited about. I mean, the facets were just perfect, and the-" "Rarity!" Applejack interrupted. "Oh, sorry. It knocked Applejack over, and disappeared!" Rarity said. "Speaking of disappearing... Where's Rainbow Dash?" Applejack asked. "Oh, she's only running straight at us at a speed of Mach fi-" Gohan said before Rainbow Dash came running in at supersonic speeds. She ran into the wall and fell over. "Ow!" She yelled. "Whoa... How'd you do that?" Applejack asked. "How'd you guess her approximate speed?" Twilight asked Gohan. "I don't know! I started running to get the harness, and the next thing I knew, I was practically back in town!" Rainbow Dash said. "But if you had some sort of super speed, why you were gone for so long?" Rarity asked. "Because I lost it when I got far away. And then it came back when I got close to camp." Rainbow Dash said. Pinkie gasped. "Being at camp is giving us all new magical abilities!" She said. "Not all of us have gotten new abilities. I haven't, but Twilight-... Hasn't. Gohan hasn't either." Sunset said. "I don't think magic would affect me with the small amount littered around." Gohan said. "You know there's magic littered around?" Twilight asked with fear. "Yeah. It was in the river earlier, and around the rock climbing thing." Gohan said. Applejack sighed. "So much for my theory that leavin' CHS would mean leavin' any new magic business behind." She said. "Something at the camp must be making this happen." Sunset said. "Uh... Gaea Everfree?" Fluttershy asked. "She's not real." Gohan said. Then the door burst open, making her scream. It was just Gloriosa carrying towels, new clothes and a hat. "Applejack! I was looking for you! Here, I brought you some towels and dry clothes. Uh, what happened in here?" She asked, giving Applejack her stuff. "That's what we're trying to figure out." Sunset said. "Don't worry, I'll handle it. Fluttershy, hand me the paper towels." Gohan said. "Okay." Fluttershy said, handing it to Gohan. "Don't worry, I'll handle this!" Gloriosa said. Too late. Gohan zipped all over the room, and cleaned it clean. "Well... I would've handled it, but... Thanks?" Gloriosa asked. Then Sandalwood and Derpy came in. "Gloriosa, I kicked my beanbag into the lake!" He said. Gloriosa's eye twitched. "I'll get you another one!" She said. "And I'm all out of arrows!" Derpy said. "Say no more! New arrows coming right up!" Gloriosa said. Then Timber burst in. "There you are!" He said. Then he whispered to Gloriosa. "Filthy Rich is back. Do you want me to handle it?" He asked. "Absolutely not!" Gloriosa whispered. "I've got this!" She said, walking away. And Sunset heard internal screaming. "Fluttershy, enough with the screaming!" Sunset said. "I didn't scream." Fluttershy said. "For once." Rainbow Dash said. Then she was smacked lightly in the head by Gohan. "Ow, hey!" She yelled. "Nobody did." Rarity said. "Huh?" Sunset asked, genuinely confused. A voice came on the P.A. "Attention, campers! Anyone who's interested in making floating paper lanterns, please meet us by the picnic tables." Celestia said. "I don't know about the rest of y'all, but I've been lookin' forward to comin' here for a year. Maybe we forget about this "new magic" for a bit and just try to focus on enjoyin' our time at camp?" Applejack asked. "I was oh, so excited about designs I've come up with for the camp fashion show." Rarity said. "And I've barely gotten to whoop ANYBODY in tetherball." Rainbow Dash said. "The only people who can are us." Applejack said. "Oh yeah?" Rainbow Dash asked. "I mean, I not questioning Gohan, but you six are gonna go down in tetherball!" She said. "I think we should try to figure it out. But if letting it go for now is what the rest of you want..." Sunset said. Everyone but Gohan, Sunset and Twilight pretty much said: "Yes." 'Maybe I should ask Gohan about this...' Sunset thought. 'Can Gohan give me answers?' She heard in a Twilight voice. "Did you say something?" Sunset asked. "I didn't." Twilight said. 'I could've sworn I heard her say- Oh, whatever.' Sunset thought. *** Everyone was making lanterns. Celestia, Luna, and Gloriosa were chatting. "Who's the boy who can fly?" Gloriosa asked. "Son Gohan." Luna said. "He is a rare student..." Celestia said. "Sometimes he and his brother just walk around the school with new hair colors." Luna said. "And his tail changes with it too." Celestia said. "But, he is an honors student. He and Twilight Sparkle are tied for number 1 when it comes to academics. He's the face of CHS, practically." Luna said. Speaking of whom... He and the Humane 7 sans Twilight were at a table. He was making a lantern with Shenron and the seven dragon balls on it. Twilight was sitting alone with Spike. "Hey, Twilight, why aren't you with everyone else?" Spike asked. "Sunset said something at camp is causing the other girls to get new magic. I think it's Midnight Sparkle. She's still part of me. I can feel it. And I think her magic is infecting my friends." Twilight said. "You sure? If you really want to check if Midnight Sparkle's coming back, maybe you should go to him." Spike said, pointing at Gohan. "That's a great idea! He could beat Midnight Sparkle again!" Twilight said. "Spike, you're a genius!" She added. "Genius?" Spike asked. "No, I think that's you." He said. Twilight was about to walk up to Gohan, but... "Okay, everyone! It's time to watch your lanterns fly!" Gloriosa said. "Hey, cool lanterns." Gohan said. "Thanks. What's yours?" Sunset asked. "Shenron and the seven dragon balls." Gohan said. "It looks really realistic." Rarity said. Everyone was walking to the dock to let their lanterns fly. Timber walked up to Twilight with his lantern. "Hey, cool lantern! Mine's my face." He said, putting it in front of his face. Twilight chuckled nervously. Then she walked away with a frown. Timber followed. "Uh... You okay?" He asked. Twilight nodded. "You don't seem like yourself tonight." Timber said. The two got to the docks where everyone lit their lanterns. "Ready? And... Go!" Gloriosa exclaimed. Everyone let loose their lanterns. And they all flew! ...Except Pinkie's. She covered it in too many marshmallows. "Aw!" She said. "Hey, I'll fly it." Gohan said. "Do it!" Pinkie said, handing it to Gohan. Gohan took it, ate a marshmallow and let it fly with his ki. The lanterns in the sky were beautiful... *** It was nighttime... Everyone was sleeping... Well, almost everyone. Gohan and Sunset were still awake. Well, Gohan came back to the tent at a bad time. He opened the flaps while Sunset was changing into her pajamas and... Well, she just got her camp clothes off. "AH!" Gohan yelled, blushing. "AH!" Sunset yelled, blushing. "I didn't mean to!" He yelled, running out. 'Well, he saw that much... Why'd he run away? I didn't threaten him.' Sunset thought, getting her other clothes on. 'Crapcrapcrapcrap!' Gohan thought, waiting outside the tent. 'Dear Kami, that was a bad time to walk in. Thank goodness Tien told me how to properly treat a woman... I think she would've thought of me as a pervert.' He thought. (Tien knows. He and Launch got together, and that was canon. End of Majin Buu saga.) 'And there's no way I would want that.' He thought. "Gohan?" Sunset asked, walking out with her daytime clothes on. "Did you get changed yet?" Gohan asked. "No, but... Well, are you okay? You just ran out." Sunset said. "I didn't want to see something so... Personal." Gohan said. "Well, it's okay." Sunset said. And Twilight was running away- What? Fluttershy didn't notice because he was asleep. "Well, you can go get changed aga- Is that Twilight?" Gohan asked, pointing at Twilight. Speaking of whom... She was running with all her packed things and Spike. "What the- What's she doing!?" Sunset asked, running after her. Gohan decided to follow. They ran into the forest, where Sunset lost her. Gohan pointed west. "That way!" He said. Sunset ran and he followed. Then they saw her. "Twilight?" Sunset asked. Twilight cut it short. She realized who else was there... And she turned around. "Twilight? What are you doing out here?" Sunset asked. "We're... we're meeting a cab to take us home." Twilight said. "She thought you'd talk her out of it." Spike said. "Because I- We would. Twilight, you can't leave." Sunset said. "Yeah, you really can't. It's not even a quarter of the way done!" Gohan said. Sunset put a hand on Twilight's shoulder and was about to speak, but... Her eyes glowed white, and she read her mind! *** "You don't think it was the spirit, do you!?" Pinkie asked. "No... It was me." Twilight muttered. *** "I think it's Midnight Sparkle. She's still part of me. I feel it! And I think her magic is infecting my friends!" Twilight said. *** She finally snapped out of it and removed her hand. "Twilight, there is no Midnight Sparkle. There's only you." Sunset said with a reassuring smile. "Midnight Sparkle? You thought she was back?" Gohan asked, trying to contain his laughter. "How did you know what I was thinking!?" Twilight asked. "When I touched your hand, I could see things. I could understand why you were leaving. My new magic...! This is my new magic! This is incredible!" Sunset said. "Good for you, Sunset!" Gohan said. "No, it's not! I'm infecting you now!" Twilight said. "Twilight, you have to stop looking at this as if it's a bad thing." Sunset said. "Easy for you to say. Magic turned you into something beautiful. The last time I tried to use it, it turned me into a monster. I'm just so afraid it's gonna happen again." Twilight said. "Twilight, you don't- Midnight Sparkle isn't even a part of you anymore!" Gohan said. "I- What?" Twilight asked. "What do you mean?" Sunset asked. "It's obvious Twilight has magic, but there is no way Midnight Sparkle is part of her. She BECOMES Midnight if she really wants to. Kind of like how I can go Super Saiyan, except Twilight isn't able to access it and isn't willing to. Plus, if she really was back, I would be able to see right through her plans. And- Heheh... Sorry, but her power level was just pitiful." Gohan said. "I.... Huh. Maybe you're right." Twilight said. "I know I turned into something amazing, but I've let magic turn me into a monster, too. Even he knows what that's like! So if anyone understands what you're going through, it's us. We can help you, Twilight. And the rest of our friends can be there for you, too. But not if you run away." Sunset said. Twilight sighed. "I'll stay... At least now I know Midnight Sparkle isn't a part of this at all." She said. "But we don't know why this is happening. I don't know if it's me or if it's something else, but to be safe, I would rather not be around our friends for this." Twilight said. "Understood." Gohan and Sunset said. "Hey, read me with your mind reading powers!" Gohan said. "Okay!" Sunset said, putting a hand on his shoulder. ... "Are you seeing it yet? Don't go so far back." Gohan said. "I'm not seeing anything... Let me try harder." Sunset said, straining. She strained so hard that- "AGH!" She yelled. There was an explosion on her forehead and she fell to the ground, grabbing it. "Are you alright?" Gohan asked. "Dang it... You're too strong for it! Ugh..." Sunset said, getting up and rubbing her head. Twilight couldn't help but giggle. Then everyone heard rustling. "What was that?" Sunset asked. "Timber." Gohan said. "Wha-" Sunset and Twilight said before they saw an axe from a bush. They both screamed. Sunset instinctively grabbed onto Gohan while Twilight grabbed onto Sunset. Then Timber screamed. "Wait... Twilight?" He asked. "Called it." Gohan said. "Timber? I'm so glad it's just you!" Twilight said, letting go of Sunset. Sunset let go of Gohan. "What are you doing here?" Twilight asked. "With an axe?" Sunset asked. "I was chopping down firewood." Timber said, pulling a cart full of logs. "In the middle of the night?" Sunset asked. "You couldn't have just asked me?" Gohan asked. "We needed more for tomorrow night's campfire. And you're too young for it. And if I didn't take care of it tonight, it would be one more thing Gloriosa would add to her list." Timber said. "I've got this!" He said, imitating Gloriosa. Everyone chuckled. "What about you three? Why are you hanging out in the middle of the woods in the middle of the night?" Timber asked. Twilight was hesitant to answer, but Gohan came up with an excuse. "Oh, they wanted me to teach them sensing energy. It would be a lot easier without so many signatures around them, so I was gonna take them to a secluded location." Gohan said. "What are you going on about?" Timber asked. "Ki sensing. It's not hard, you just pick up on the life energy of a person, animal, or any living thing that isn't a cyborg or a robot." Gohan said. "I didn't learn Chinese. Anyway, I'll take you back. You aren't supposed to be out here this late anyway. I'll protect you from... Gaea Everfree! Everfree, Eeeeverfreeee!" Timber said in a scary voice before smirking and crossing his arms. Sunset snickered. 'More like Gohan's protecting us...' She thought. "Come on. That's obviously just a spooky story you made up to tell around the campfire." Sunset said. "Oh no, it's legit." Timber said. "Timber, I know what's legit and not legit. A giant bug man who can destroy the solar system? Legit. Freaky alien genotype? Legit. Androids that can't lose energy no matter what? Legit. Being able to fly...?" Gohan asked, sitting in mid air. "Legit. Gaea Everfree? You need some proof on that one." Gohan said. "How else would you explain what happened at the docks? And that weird thing where the earth shook?" Timber asked. Gohan raised his finger. "I mean, there are three possibilities. One-" "That's enough, nerd." Sunset interrupted. Gohan pouted before putting his hand down. "Come on, I know a shortcut back to the tents." Timber said, holding his hand out to Twilight. Twilight took his hand and now they're holding hands. Ooh... Poor Flash. "You wanna try that?" Sunset whispered. "I guess." Gohan said, holding his hand out. As the two walked away Sunset noticed something, ignoring his hand. 'Magic...?' She thought. "Legit, huh?" She said. "You mean the small droplets of magic dropping on the ground?" Gohan asked. "You didn't even- How'd you know?" Spike asked. "I can sense magic, Spike. I just can't use it." Gohan said. Sunset got on one knee and lifted some magic. "I think we just found out Gaea Everfree." Sunset said. "Why would he work so hard to make us think it's real? Apart from a horrible storyline..." Gohan said. "Spike and I heard what he said about wishing his sister would sell this camp. If nobody wants to come here because it's home to some angry ancient nature spirit, it sure would help his cause." Sunset said, standing up. "We should tell Twilight." Spike said, about to go after her. "Not yet." Gohan said. "Yeah. She's obviously gone through a lot right now. We should probably be a hundred percent sure before we tell her the guy she likes is a jerk who's trying to run everybody out of camp." Sunset said. "I mean, the story adds up, but-" "NEEERRRRD!" Sunset yelled with a smirk. "And the memories come back once again." Gohan said with a half smile. *** Back in the Ruby tent... Sunset was in her pajamas, Gohan didn't have his shoes or wristbands on, and they were about to sleep. "Sunset?" He asked. "What's up?" Sunset asked. "I'd like to apologize again..." Gohan said. "You already said it, it's okay." Sunset said. "Are you sure?" Gohan asked. "Yeah, but I need you to do something for me as an apology." Sunset said, laying down under her blanket. "Yes?" Gohan asked. "Care to join me over here?" Sunset asked. "Um... W-Why?" Gohan asked, confused. "Just get over here." Sunset said, opening up the blanket. "Uh... O-Okay." Gohan said, getting up and moving. "Don't be shy, its natural." Sunset said. He slowly got under the covers with her. He blushed since he hadn't done this before, and it's a bit... close. Sunset brought him in for a hug, and he was still confused. "W-What's happening?" He asked. "It's CALLED cuddling." Sunset said, setting his head on her level. 'It feels nice... But feels too close...?' He thought. "How does it feel?" Sunset asked. Gohan lightly wrapped an arm around Sunset. "It feels good... Warm. I'm a bit confused..." He said. "You're innocence makes you so cute..." Sunset said, giggling. "O-Oh... It does?" Gohan asked, blushing a bit more. "Yeah..." Sunset said, kissing him. He still wasn't used to the euphoria from a kiss, but regardless he enjoyed it. He never really initiated a kiss, it was always her. It broke, and Sunset pulled his head under her chin. "Good night..." She said, kinda rubbing his hair a bit. "Good night." Gohan said. And with that, he fell asleep. And as soon as that happened.... Sunset's eyes glowed bright white and she saw his memories. *** Raditz just came to Kame House. "I'm taking your son." Raditz said. "No you're not!" Goku said. Raditz kneed Goku in the stomach and flew away with Gohan. "Ah! He took my son!" Goku said. *** "You killed... My... Best friend...!" Goku said. Namek. "That's funny! Hilarious, actually." Frieza said. "Mr. Piccolo! Get up!" A young Moe Howard said, trying to get Piccolo up. Lightning struck around them. "This... Ruffles my jammies...! HRRRRAAAGH- *squeak*." Goku screamed, turning Super Saiyan. Gohan looked in shock. "Take Piccolo and leave." Goku said. "'Kay." Gohan said. "Okay, so, what's going on here?" Frieza asked. Goku made his aura flare. "I AM A SUPER SANDWICH!" He yelled, punching Frieza in the face. "Argh! Prick!" Frieza yelled, throwing a death ball into Namek. "Uh oh! Spagettio-" BOOM! *** Broly movie. Gohan was flying around buildings in his Super Saiyan form. 'Don't worry Gohan. Just find that ship we came here on, grab everyone else and...' He thought before- Broly burst through the side of the building, charging at Gohan while laughing. 'I should apologize to Mom if I get home.' Gohan thought before Broly grabbed his face and threw him inside a building. Broly himself flew into that building and threw a green ki blast at Gohan. As soon as it hit, Gohan wasn't a Super Saiyan, and he was knocked into a building. A sharp part luckily held him by his weird scarf thingy, so he was stuck in the air. "Gohan!" Goku yelled, running after Gohan, but then Broly landed in front of him. He threw a powerful ki blast at him, sending him flying. Goku was on the ground now. "What's wrong Kakarot!? Don't you care if I kill your son!?" Broly asked. Goku sat up. "Eh... I'd rather you not...? I mean, we have dragon balls, but that's like... A whole day." He said to Broly. "But wait... He hasn't met King Kai." Goku said to himself. "Hey Gohan! You're gonna meet King Kai!" Goku yelled RIGHT before Broly threw another ki blast at him, sending him flying yelling: "EEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeee...!" *** Cell Games. Cell grabbed Gohan by his shirt and started pummeling him repeatedly. "Ow! D'oh! Ooh! Ah!" Gohan said as that happened. "Thinking of you, Goku!" Cell yelled. *** Cell was in his Semi Perfect form. He just regurgitated 18, and was self destructing as a last resort against a Super Saiyan 2 Gohan. He was laughing loudly. "Ten more seconds! I guess we'll call it a draw! Hahahah!" Cell yelled. Gohan was on his knees and his elbows in shame. 'I failed... Cell... He... He's won.' He thought with his head down. Goku just teleported in front of him and put his hand to Cell, surprising the two. He had two fingers to his forehead. He looked back at Gohan with a smile. "Hey. You put up a good fight, Gohan. I'm proud of you." He said. "W-What...? Daddy...?" Gohan asked. "Take care of your mother for me. She needs you. Tell her that I had to do this, Gohan." Goku said. Gohan realized what he was doing. "Goodbye, my son." Goku said. He turned to Cell with a serious face. And he vanished! Gohan rushed to where his father used to be, but it was too late. "NO, COME BACK!" He screamed. "GOKUUU!" Krillin screamed. Everyone was shocked at his unfortunate death. Gohan was on the ground again, crying his father. "Daddy... No...!" He cried. *** Those were but a few of what she saw. And she saw the betrayal parts and- Sunset finally snapped out of his memories. 'Too far, too far! I didn't want to do that! But I guess I know his stories are actually true, now.' She thought. 'But I don't think I'm gonna sleep through this night... That was just sad.' She thought. *** Applejack, Rainbow Dash and Gohan were fixing up the dock. Gohan was in his father's gi again. This time with the '飯' kanji on the back and the front. Which pretty much meant rice. And 飯田 means rice field. (WELCOME TO THE RICE FIELD MOTHERFU-) Rarity was sitting down, working in some clothing and Fluttershy threw some rope in the water. Rainbow Dash was tip toeing onto the dock with some wood. She didn't want to run into the water. Gohan was pressing nails in the wood with his fingers while Applejack used a hammer she made to slightly tap it. "Uh, you gonna give us a hand here, Rarity?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Oh, I'd love to, but I really need to get the stitching on this poncho done if it's going to make it into the camp fashion show. Though at the pace you two are moving, I don't know that the runway will ever be finished." Rarity said "The DOCK is our gift to the camp, and it's gonna get finished. That is, if Rainbow Dash would hurry up and bring me more wood." Applejack said. "Oh, I can't go any faster! I don't want to end up in the woods again." Rainbow Dash said. "Don't be silly." Applejack said. "Really?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Applejack... You're going super slow on the nails yourself because of your recently acquired strength. You don't want to smash the entire dock with it." Gohan said. "I know I said we should try to forget all about this new magic business, but I can't. How do you do it, Gohan?" Applejack asked. "Growth and practice. When I was trying to live a normal life for once, I kept breaking all my glasses and plates! Not to mention all the cutting boards and books I had gone through before I mastered it! It took me about a month to do that..." Gohan said. "A month!?" Everyone asked. "You guys have much weaker powers, it'll be much easier for you!" Gohan said. Applejack was gonna grab another nail, but... "Aw, shoot! I'm all out of nails." Applejack said. "Oh, here you go!" Pinkie said from behind, tossing the box of nails. "Pinkie, NO!" Everyone but Gohan yelled. Applejack took cover, Rarity caused her diamonds to appear simultaneously knocking Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy over and Gohan caught the nails in a hand. Applejack sighed when they didn't explode. And she shot Pinkie a mean look. "Whaaaat? Ohhh, did you think the nails would explode like the sprinkles? Wow! Glad that didn't happen, huh?" Pinkie said. Rarity came to Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash's aid. "Sorry, girls. I didn't mean to. I don't know how to control this." Rarity said. "It's okay." Rainbow Dash said. "Oh, none of us do." Fluttershy. "Which is why we shouldn't pretend this isn't happening." Sunset said from behind, walking up to them. "Do you have them now, too?" Rainbow Dash said. "Yeah, she does." Gohan said. "It started last night. When I touch people, it's like I can feel what they're feeling and see their memories." Sunset said. "Ooh! Fancy! Try me! Try me!" Pinkie said, hopping up and down. She grabbed Sunset's hand and put it on her forehead. *** There was a cavalcade of sugar treats and unicorns and mountains and a giant star with a boom box and I'm already cancer trying to write this, holy shit. Pinkie was skipping along the path. *** "That explains... So much." Sunset said. "Let me try!" Gohan said, putting his hand on her head. Then he took it away. "Oh. I see what you mean." Gohan said. "Yup!" Pinkie said. "Wait, did you get the same ability?" Rarity asked. "Wha- No! I haven't- or won't get it. I've been able to read minds for a while now." Gohan said. "Oh right." Rainbow Dash said. "Ooh! Ooh! Try him!" Pinkie said, pointing at Gohan. "No. No, NO!" Sunset said, backing away. "Why not?" Applejack asked. "The last time she tried, her forehead blew up." Gohan said. "No, that's not the reason! I saw everything!" Sunset said. "What? How?" Gohan asked. "When you fell asleep! I saw everything from you getting kidnapped by your uncle to you killing Santa to your father dying for the second time and-" "HE KILLED SANTA!?" Pinkie interrupted. "Me and my old friends did." Gohan said. "WHY!?" Pinkie said. "Because he was trying to subjugate the planet and kill everyone! The only good thing was that I was on the nice list." Gohan said. "And I saw... Well, the betrayal, I'll say." Sunset said. "Wha- Oh... You... Saw that?" Gohan asked. Sunset nodded. "I really wish you hadn't- Now you have the memories of- Oh my Kami, now I'm torturing you with that, aren't I?" Gohan asked. "No... But I had a hard time sleeping because of it." Sunset said. "So it's concluded. Gohan never lied." Rainbow Dash said. "Yep..." Sunset said. "Girls, we can't just brush these powers aside because it doesn't seem like the ideal time to get them. What if it turns out that they could actually make things better?" She asked. "And it would be great abilities to hone and possess in battle." Gohan said. *** Well, after a song and honing it, they all received a power up. 'Amazing... They're about as strong as Uncle Raditz! Wait, no... Maybe a tad weaker.' Gohan thought. Everyone also built the rest of the dock. Gohan didn't join the end of that song because... 'Why is this so dramatic?' He thought. *** Sunset and Gohan were heading to Twilight to get her to embrace the new magic like the rest of the Humane 7 did, but they heard arguing in the cabin. Gloriosa and Timber. "I just wish you didn't tell them that ridiculous story!" Gloriosa said behind the door. Sunset and Gohan got a closer hear. "Ah, this is all too much for you! You have to let it go!" Timber said. "I knew it! He wants her to get rid of camp!" Sunset whispered. And the door burst open, smashing into Sunset and they walked out. Not noticing the two. "Let's go." Sunset said. She jumped down the stairs but then she bumped into Flash by accident. "Sunset Shimmer? What were you doing behind that door with him?" Flash asked. "What? Uh..." Sunset said. She was about to say something completely false, but again, Gohan chipped in. "We're looking for my old belt. I think Pinkie hid it somewhere. She's helping me find it." Gohan said. "Well, it's good I bumped into you. I really wanted to thank you." Flash said. "F-For what?" Sunset asked. "Tough love. Telling me I needed to get over Twilight. I needed to hear that." Flash said. "Sure, no problem." Sunset said, looking a bit... Unusual for the moment. She was looking with her sight for Gloriosa and Timber. "Is something wrong?" Flash asked. "What? No. Why?" Sunset asked. "Come on, Sunset. We used to date. I know when something's bothering you." Flash said. Sunset sighed. "Okay, here's the deal. My friend really likes someone, but I don't think that someone is who she thinks they are. I don't wanna upset my friend by telling her what I think, because I also want to protect her, because if what I think is happening is really happening, then she deserves to know. You know?" She asked. Flash was just confused by that statement. Even Gohan was just blown away by that statement. "I think what she's trying to say is: She wants to tell her friend the truth, but doesn't want to hurt her feelings in the process." Gohan said, jumping down from the few stairs. "Oh." Flash said. "You get it?" Sunset asked. "Not really... But what I DO know is that she's lucky to have a friend like you to look out for them." Flash said. "Really?" Sunset asked. "Yeah! Y'know, you've changed a lot since we went out. You're a lot... Nicer. It's a no brainer why he's dating you." Flash said. 'Well, his cluelessness for one...' Sunset thought. "Thanks... I'm glad you noticed." Sunset said. "Uh, look, maybe you and me, we could start over as... friends." Flash said. But Sunset saw Timber running into the forest. "Uh, uh, sounds great. I gotta go!" She said, running after him. Flash felt like he was rejected Friendship... "Don't take it the wrong way, she just had to do something. I'm 100% sure she'd love to reconnect with you. I mean, she wants to confront her past." Gohan said. "Oh, okay." Flash said. "I'll make sure she gets to hanging out with you later, okay?" Gohan asked. "Sure, that sounds cool." Flash said. "Okay. ... I guess I'll go then." Gohan said, walking away. "Wait." Flash said. "Hmm?" Gohan asked. "You seem like a cool guy. You wanna hang out sometime?" Flash asked. "Sure thing. I could always hang out with a guy who isn't my brother for once." Gohan joked before heading back to the dock. *** Timber was walking through the forest, making sure nobody's following. Sunset was, obviously. But he didn't catch her. He went to a cave, and magic was in that there hills. "Aha!" Sunset said, pulling out her phone. *** Twilight got to the rock quarry. Where Sunset was waiting. She brought Spike along. "What's going on down there!?" Twilight asked. "I think it's Gaea Everfree. Or rather, someone who wants us to think she's back. C'mon!" Sunset said, walking into that quarry. Twilight followed. "Whoa..." Sunset said as they went into the cave. It was littered with Equestrian magic! "This place is beautiful." Twilight said. "There's Equestrian magic here. I can... I can feel it." Sunset said. "Wait. I thought Timber was just faking there was a magical nature creature. Are you saying it's real?" Spike asked. "Timber? What does he have to do with any of this?" Twilight asked. "Nothing..." A voice came. Gloriosa emerged from the shadows. "It's all me..." She said with a twitched eye grin. "Gloriosa? But... Timber. I was sure HE was the one trying to make it seem like Gaea Everfree was back. It was YOU who was trying to scare everyone away?" Sunset asked. Gloriosa walked closer to them, and past them. "I would never try to scare anyone away from Camp Everfree." She said in a calm voice. Sunset grabbed her arm and saw her memories! *** Filthy Rich was going to take over the land and turn it into a spa. Gloriosa begged to keep it as a camp. Filthy Rich would give her until the end of the month to pay her bills. Gloriosa cried, wondering what she would do.... Until she found the rock quarry. With seven geodes of magic. She accidentally took five and attained magical powers. Timber tried to warn her about the dangers of it, but Gloriosa insisted. Gloriosa tried all week to make this the best week ever before Everfree had to ultimately shut down. However, her failed attempts only made it worse. Timber told the story of Gaea Everfree to cover for her, but she didn't want it to be that way. *** Sunset let go of her hand. "Timber wasn't talking about letting go of the camp." Sunset said. "He was talking about you letting go of the magical geodes! All those things you were doing to make this week the best week ever. Every time you used magic to do them, you caused another problem somewhere else! Timber was... covering for you!" She said, cornering Gloriosa against the remaining geodes. "How do you know what I was doing with the geodes? How do you know about the magic?" Gloriosa asked. "I can see things. Feel things. Because I have magic, too. And so does she. And so do our friends." Sunset said. "Gloriosa, Timber wasn't wrong. Maybe you should stop using magic. Too much of it can be dangerous if you can't control it." Twilight said. "Oh, I got this. And I'm going to use it to save my camp. I just need more power!" Gloriosa said, grabbing the remaining geodes. "No!" Sunset and Twilight yelled. Gloriosa trapped them in vines! Gloriosa turned into something resembling Gaea Everfree! https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/mlp/images/7/7e/Gloriosa_Daisy_transformed_ID_EG4.png/revision/latest?cb=20161003183220 "Sorry, girls. I know what I need to do. But I feel like we're not on the same page. So..." She said. Sunset made her white aura flare to get the vines off her. "You can't!" She yelled as she smashed her fist into Gloriosa's face. No damage. Gloriosa used a vine to flick Sunset back to where she was. "What are you trying to do?" Gloriosa asked. Sunset jumped back at Gloriosa and threw many more punches in vain. Twilight was scared. "Are you trying to stop my plans to keep this camp for all of us!? With your pitiful 'magic!?'" Gloriosa asked. Sunset jumped back and ponied up. "My magic will beat yours, I know it!" She yelled, charging at Gloriosa. However, her power level was still much weaker, and she was punched into the wall. "Sunset!" Twilight said. Sunset burst out of the wall with a tear on her sleeve. She fired many ki blasts at Gloriosa as she ran closer. Gloriosa used her vines to stop all of the ki blasts and whack Sunset away. Sunset wasn't done, though. She performed parkour around the vines to get closer. But Gloriosa eventually caught her by her foot and she tripped. Twilight tried aiding her with her own inferior ki blasts. Just barely snapping the vines. But Gloriosa had enough and really put an end to this. Gloriosa used her vines to restrain Twilight completely. Then she picked up Sunset with her vines and hurled her right through a pillar and into a wall. She was downed, and was no longer ponied up. "Sunset!" Twilight said. She put Spike in vines. "Sorry, but I have to save my camp." Gloriosa said, flying out of the quarry. "Gloriosa!" Twilight yelled. Sunset was hurt badly, and it hurt to move. Twilight was restrained by the vines, and so was Spike. They couldn't chase her. Gloriosa shut the rock quarry to permanently end it. "NO!" Twilight yelled. *** Gloriosa was floating towards the dock. Gohan felt her presence and got into a serious mode. 'What happened to Sunset? Twilight feels like she's restrained and- Gloriosa? What happened to her?' Gohan thought. The music during the fashion show cut. Everyone noticed Gloriosa in her new form. "Attention, campers!" Gloriosa said. "It's Gaea Everfree!" Trixie yelled. "She's real!" Flash yelled. "Oh no! We're doomed!" Bulk Biceps yelled. "Gloriosa!" Gohan and Timber yelled. "What are you doing!?" Timber asked. "That's Gloriosa? Am I crazy or is she Gaea Everfree?" Applejack asked. "That's Gloriosa alright. With more magic than ever before." Gohan said. "I have an announcement to make! Filthy Rich wants this to be the last session of Camp Everfree. But don't worry, I'VE GOT THIS!" Gloriosa yelled. By she got this, she really meant it. She just trapped the entire camp in vines. Or, area actually. Destroying the dock, too. "Oh, come on! We literally just finished building that!" Rainbow Dash yelled. "Gloriosa, let everyone go! I don't want to intervene!" Gohan yelled. Instead she added more vines and shit. Some of the students ran into the cabin, along with the principals. Gloriosa just locked them in with her vines. Timber, trying to break free, tried cutting the vines with an axe. But Gloriosa just sent it to the sky. She trapped students in the courtyard, and the remaining were Gohan, Timber, and the rest of the Humane 7. The entire area was covered in vines. "I would say try to break it for training, but this has gone way past your limits. I can't let you guys handle this." Gohan said. "What do you mean?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Your enhanced abilities will do nothing. Even Friendship might not stand up to Gloriosa... Probably because she used seven elements- What?" Gohan asked. Seven elements? Get outta here! "So what are we supposed to do?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Stay back." Gohan said. "What? No! We gotta use these powers!" Rainbow Dash said. "I'm with her!" Pinkie said, pulling out a container of sprinkles. "Yeah, we can take her!" Applejack said. "No, I'm not repeating the same mistake. Last time you all nearly died!" Gohan said. Gloriosa started trapping Gohan in vines. He broke free instantly by just casually moving. "Don't be scared!" Rainbow Dash yelled, ponying up. Everyone else ponied up as well. Gohan started blasting the vines trying to protect the students. "You can't! Just avoid them!" He yelled. Rainbow Dash started flying around to kill the vines, and Applejack was able to use boulders and such to hurl at the vines. "What is this? I thought I absorbed all magic!" Gloriosa said. "We've had magic long before this!" Pinkie yelled, throwing sprinkle grenades. "And I don't use magic!" Gohan said while kicking some more vines away. "Gloriosa, you have to stop!" Timber yelled. "Stop? Why? Filthy Rich will be back. With this, he'll never be back!" Gloriosa said. "THIS ISN'T WORKING!" Applejack said. All the students were now getting trapped by the vines, and no matter what the Humane 5 did... The vines just grew back. *** Spike bit Twilight's vines and finally got it cut! Twilight managed to break free. "Sunset Shimmer!" Twilight said, rushing to her. "Is she okay?" Spike asked. "I'm not dead..." Sunset said before coughing. "Gloriosa must be powerful!" Twilight said. "Then let's save everyone while we can!" Spike said. "I don't know if I can walk right now..." Sunset said weakly. Twilight nodded and carried Sunset in her arms. But first, the boulders... Twilight set Sunset down and punched the boulder! Nothing. "Ow! Dang it!" Twilight said, grabbing his hand. "Use your magic!" Spike said. "But I..." Twilight said. "There's no time, Twilight! It's now or never!" Spike said. "I don't think I can lift something that big!" Twilight said. "It's our only chance of getting out of here and helping our friends." Sunset said. Twilight realized that there isn't really any argument against that, so she tried it. She pointed her palms at the rock and used her magic. It was moving! The boulder was moving! Twilight had a blue glow on her forehead. And after much straining and sweat, she got the boulder to move! She was about to collapse from exhaustion but an injured Sunset caught her before that. *** "Why are you fighting me?! I'm doing this to save our camp! I'm doing this for you!" Gloriosa yelled. "I'm all for Camp Everfree and all, but I have a life." Rainbow Dash said. "I have a little brother at home, and he can't defend Equestria forever!" Gohan said. "I'm here to defend you from losing Camp Everfree, don't you see?" Gloriosa asked. She trapped everyone in the vines! Including Gohan! Magic didn't work, and the Humane 5 were stuck! Well, Rarity used her diamonds to burst free. Vines kept regenerating! Gohan's hand stuck out of one of the vine barriers, and it exploded to pieces, shocking Gloriosa. "This isn't how it works, Gloriosa. In fact- This is very familiar. What happened? Oh right! She lost. Now history is repeating itself at this point. With your accumulated mass, and with the force of my attacks you'll go down harder than you ever have before!" Gohan yelled. Gloriosa started to fly upwards. "Gloriosa, this isn't the way!" Timber yelled. "I appreciate your concern, Timber, but I GOT THIS!" Gloriosa yelled, trapping Timber. "Agh! No, you don't!" Timber said, trying to break free. "Please, Gloriosa! What you're doing is crazy! You have to listen to me!" He said. "She isn't Gloriosa anymore. She's a shell of her former self." Gohan said. While the Humane 5 were breaking more vines, they couldn't save anyone. And the vines just got worse. Too worse. The Humane 5 were just engulfed again, and Rarity's diamonds wouldn't break it this time. 'Dear Kami, she's at her limit. And she really lost her mind, too. Goten could handle her, but that is powerful.' Gohan thought. *** Twilight just opened the vines with her magic, struggling to just keep it open. She even had some glow on her forehead again. She and a limping Sunset came in. Gohan saw the damaged Sunset... "Sunset!?" He asked, jumping over to her. "What... What did you do to her!?" Gohan yelled. "Her? She was getting in the way of my plans with her inferior magic, and now nobody can stop me!" Gloriosa said. Gohan clenched his fists tight and turned to Gloriosa. "You made a huge mistake, Gloriosa!" He yelled. The ground trembled, and small pebbles around them started to fly. The rage was so intense that the students inside vines could feel it. Vines started to wrap around him. "YOU HURT MY SUNNY!" Gohan screamed, full of anger. He had an intense red aura. 'Sunny...?' Sunset asked. Gohan's rage just broke. It turned yellow, then he turned Super Saiyan 2. The vines around him disintegrated. "YOU'RE GONNA PAY!" Gohan screamed before instantly jumping up to Gloriosa. 'Oh no...!' Sunset thought. Gloriosa was surprised and overwhelmed by this sudden speed. Gohan's rage face meant business. He punched her right in the jaw! He actually knocked a tooth out. He didn't stop- He'll never stop! Gohan pummeled Gloriosa endlessly. "ATATATATATATATATATATA!" He screamed before elbowing her down to the ground. Gloriosa landed on her back, leaving a small crater. Gohan still wasn't done. He fucking dropkicked her, full speed and force! She coughed. 'Damn, he's pulverizing her!' Twilight thought. The vines on the outside were starting to die down. Gohan jumped off and picked Gloriosa up by her hair. Her feet were still touching the ground. He smashed his fist into her stomach, making her cough more. More vines died down. Sunset tried getting closer to Gohan in an attempt to stop him. Twilight put a hand on her shoulder. "Sunset, Gohan will handle this." She said. "No, he'll torture her and maybe kill her!" Sunset said, standing on her feet. Gohan repeated the action numerous times. With every punch, his pupils slowly got shorter. He ended it with one more punch, sending Gloriosa flying. Some more vines died. Gloriosa recovered in the air, and tried summoning vines to stop- She was just punched in the face with a vine covered fist which broke off right after. Gohan grabbed her foot and started spinning her around at breakneck speeds. "HAAAAAAAAA...!" Gohan kept screaming. His pupils just disappeared. You know, kind of like Broly. "What do you mean he'll kill her!?" Twilight asked. "He would never stoop down that low!" She said. "I read his mind, remember?" Sunset asked, slowly, and I mean slowly limping closer. "He's told us before. He's an absolute sadist when he's angry." Sunset said. "And I saw it. He's going to do unimaginable things to her before finally killing her. We have to stop him!" Sunset said. Gohan hurled Gloriosa at the vines containing his friends. "Huh...? We're out? Did we win?" Pinkie asked. "Not yet! What happened to his eyes!?" Applejack asked. "He's going to kill her..." Sunset said, limping towards the five. Twilight was helping her. "Sunset! What happened to you!?" Rarity asked. "I'm guessing this is why Gohan yelled 'My Sunny!' Or something." Rainbow Dash said. "That was a bit funny, though." Applejack said. Then Gohan came flying down, blinding them with the wind. He charged at Gloriosa while she was still down and grabbed her hand. "I think his rage broke." Pinkie said. He threw her up to the sky and threw three ki blasts at her. "GOHAN! Calm down!" Sunset screamed. He ignored her. He teleported behind Gloriosa to send her down to the ground with a double axe handle. She landed beside a contained teen that was just freed. Timber... "Gloriosa...? Gloriosa!" He yelled, coming to her aid. "What happened to you!?" He asked. She was down. For real. "KAMEHAME..." Gohan yelled, charging up the most powerful Kamehameha he's ever used in between his hands. "NO!" The Humane 7 all screamed. "No, stop!" Timber yelled. "GET OUT OF THE WAY!" Gohan barked. "You don't understand! I wouldn't be able to live with myself if she died!" Timber yelled. Then Gohan started regaining his sanity. 'Wait... This is Gloriosa. She's just like Twilight...' He thought. The blast in between his hands disappeared. "Gohan, you need to calm down!" Sunset said. Gohan looked to Sunset with his pupilless eyes. "I'm okay!" She said. Before Twilight helped her stay standing. Then his blue irises came back. He was realizing how needlessly he was brutalizing Gloriosa. He was reasoning with her... And lost his trade of thought. Completed with anger. Damn, he really lost it. "Dang, I lost my temper." He muttered. "You need to come down here!" Applejack said. "And get out of Super Saiyan 2! Or whatever you just did!" Pinkie said. Gohan went back to base form and lowered himself to the ground. "Oh my goodness..." Fluttershy said. "I think his rage and his guilt just broke." Rainbow Dash said. "No. I'm guilty, but that didn't break. But oh no... That is not good." Gohan said. "Are you okay?" Twilight asked. "I'm not hurt... But..." Gohan said, turning to 'Sunny.' "Are you okay?" He asked. "I'll be fine." Sunset said. Gohan rushed to Gloriosa. Timber was at Gloriosa's side. "How are we going to fix her?" He asked. "After we get her out of this... Form, I'll get her a senzu bean." Gohan said. "Then how are we going to get her out?" Timber asked. Gohan reached for the geodes on her and pulled as 'hard' as he could. The Humane 7 all came to her. With Twilight helping Sunset. "How are we gonna fix her?" Applejack asked. Gohan fell over on his bottom. "Well, I can't get that off her." He said. "Then how are we gonna get rid of her!?" Twilight asked. "I think I know the solution. Magic." Gohan said. "What are you- No... No." Twilight said. "What do you mean, 'No.'?" Sunset asked. "If I use too much magic, Midnight Sparkle will take over!" Twilight said. "Twilight, you're too pure to become Midnight again. Try to think of her as a separate entity at this point, because your magic can be used for good!" Gohan said. "And if you don't, all those students will die!" Sunset said. "And even if Midnight happens to come back..." Gohan said, turning Super Saiyan. "I'll dispatch of her in five seconds." He said. Timber looked surprised at his hair. "H-How did you...?" He asked. Twilight decided she would do it. Gohan held Sunset to stay standing, and Twilight got ready. She aimed her hands at Gloriosa's geode necklace. And started to use the magic... She was struggling to get them off. They weren't budging! "Twilight, you have to be strong!" Sunset said, grabbing her arms. An orange glow surrounded her hands. In that moment, Sunset ponied up and Twilight's blue glow turned into a horn and some weird glasses Midnight used to have. Her eyes went white. "Oh. I was wrong. Midnight Sparkle is actually part of her." Gohan said. *** Twilight was in her mind. And heard the laughter of Midnight. 'Remember... She's not me!' Twilight thought. "You will never control me! I will always be a part of you!" Midnight yelled. "You will never be a part of me again!" Twilight yelled. Midnight was able to turn herself into a life size version of herself. "You can't stop me, I'll be the one who takes over!" She said. "No!" Twilight yelled, firing ki blasts at Midnight. Midnight floated closer as the ki just disintegrated around her. "What!?" Twilight asked. "It's futile, Twilight Sparkle!" Midnight yelled, firing magic from her palms at Twilight. Twilight crossed her arms in an attempt to block the intense attack. It was too much and she was knocked away and the blast died. "You're powerless. Give up!" Midnight yelled. She forced herself into Twilight. Okay, don't take that the wrong way. "No.... I can't!" Twilight said, getting wings, eyes and a horn that resembled Midnight's. "Exactly!" Gohan said. "Huh?" Twilight asked. Projections of her close friends started appearing around her. "Twilight, listen to me! You are in charge!" Sunset said. "You are a light, darling! A force for good!" Rarity said. "Yeah! You can kick the darkness's butt!" Rainbow Dash said. "You're in control. Remember that!" Gohan said. "We're here for you, Twilight!" Pinkie said. "And we'll be here, no matter what!" Applejack said. "We believe in you!" Fluttershy said. "You... are not... Midnight Sparkle!" Sunset said. "No... I... Am...Twilight Sparkle! And the magic I carry inside me is... the Magic of Friendship!" Twilight yelled, freeing herself from Midnight. *** Twilight ponied up, and had a huge burst of energy! She removed the geodes! "Alright!" Rainbow Dash said. And the geodes... They all floated to their respective owners. The Elements of Harmony! Everyone got one! *snicker* Except Gohan... How unfortunate. Now all of a sudden the Humane 7 got new looks! All the while gaining EVEN more power! Their wings turned spikey, and then most of their hair just shrunk. Sunset was healed completely. The seven got together in the air. Then suddenly... "Wait, why am I being pulled into this!?" Gohan asked as he was pulled into the group. They all got together to unleash the true, hidden power of Friendship to blast all the vines away! Gloriosa was normal again... Completely healed, too. "You did it!" Timber said. The students were all freed. Green sparkles of magic were falling everywhere. One fell on Gloriosa, and she woke up. "What... What happened?" She asked as she got up. "It's okay. It's gonna be okay." Timber said, hugging her. The Humane 7 all floated down to the ground. "All right!" Gohan said. Everyone cheered for them. Spike ran up to Twilight. "You did it!" He said. Then he noticed Twilight's new pendant. "Whoa... Nice bling." He said. In fact, each of them had pendants. Each representing their cutie marks in the other world. Okay, this time Gohan gets one as well. What was it...? A black pendant with the kanji '悟' engraved into it. It had a strange feeling. Compared to the others ones. The other ones had the magic of Friendship in them. This wasn't an exception, but... 'Why am I feeling a whole lot of dad from this?' He thought. But, that was for another time. "Wow... You all look great!" Gohan said. 'Especially Sunset, for some reason.' He thought. "What... What are these?" Applejack asked. "I'm not sure. But clearly we have some kind of connection to them." Sunset said. "Obviously. Look at you all! You're all so much stronger than before! This is like a hidden potential you guys had all along!" Gohan said. "And even you have one!" Sunset said. "But I didn't even get a geode..." Gohan said, inspecting his. "I almost don't care what they are. They are gorgeous!" Rarity said. Then she gasped. "And will totally go with the other collection I was working on for the camp fashion show!" She said. Then she turned to Gloriosa. "That's probably cancelled, isn't it?" She asked. *** Everyone was fixing up the camp. Mainly the dock. Gohan doing the most work with the Humane 7 in second. He was also not a Super Saiyan anymore. Gloriosa walked up to the principals. "I am so sorry. I only wanted this to be the best week Camp Everfree has ever had, and instead I've made it the worst. Maybe it's for the best that I'm losing the camp to Filthy Rich." Gloriosa said. "No. Its not!" Celestia said. "This camp has meant so much to so many people, my sister and me included." She said. "Why do you think we wanted our students to come here?" Luna asked. "We can't let Filthy Rich take this place away!" Twilight said. "If camp meant so much to you two, maybe it meant as much to the other campers who came here in years past." She said. "And maybe we can get them to help save it!" Sunset said. Applejack stuck a piece of wood in the ground. "Oh! Like a fundraiser?" She asked. "A ball!?" Rarity asked. "Our band could play!" Rainbow Dash said. "I could write a new song just for the occasion!" Fluttershy said. "And I can provide stage effects!" Gohan said. The students were all agreeing. "Those are all good ideas, but where would we hold it?" Gloriosa asked. "We could hold it in the crystal cave!" Sunset said. Rarity gasped. "A crystal ball!?" She asked. "I admire everyone's enthusiasm. Really, I do. But I-I just don't know how we're going to plan a ball by tomorrow and invite everyone." Gloriosa said. "We got this!" Gohan and the Humane 7 all said. *** After tons of planning, setting up, and singing, it was done. A concert! Gohan liked that song, but still preferred the 'Shine Like Rainbows.' Twilight was singing too. Gohan wasn't really for the new dresses, but whatever. In the end... Gohan jumped onstage to hug Sunset. "That was amazing!" He said. "Glad you liked it!" Sunset said. "Why don't you kiss 'Sunny,' eh Gohan?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Oh come on, I was angry!" Gohan said. "I really like the nickname." Sunset said with a smile. Gloriosa walked up to the stage. With a new dress and everything! "Thank you all so much for coming! And for helping us raise enough money to... save Camp Everfree!" Gloriosa said with so much joy. Everyone cheered. Filthy Rich walked away from the concert. Then she turned to the Humane 7 and Gohan. "Thank you. For everything. Oh, if I'd just asked for help in the first place..." She said. "Hey, don't sweat it, it's kinda what we do." Rainbow Dash said. "And you... Gohan, right?" Gloriosa asked. Gohan nodded. "Thank you for stopping me when I... Well, turned. I'm really sorry for what I did." Gloriosa said. "Don't be sorry. In fact, I should apologize. I shouldn't have brutalized you like that. I didn't even have to use that much power against you, I was seriously going full throttle." Gohan said. "But I'm still confused why your hair changed." Gloriosa said. "I'll explain it to you another time. For now, let's just call it Super Saiyan. And my spikier hair is called a Super Saiyan 2." Gohan said. *** Now it was prom 2.0 going on, jeez. A ball, basically. Gohan wasn't wearing any suit. Twilight was putting some lights together... "Not to brag or anything, but it's pretty cool how I saved all those campers from those Rubus fruticosus." Timber said from behind. He was wearing a suit. "Blackberry brambles." He said. "I'm familiar with the genus. It's just a little weird you say you saved the campers. I thought I saved them. Or actually, Gohan did." Twilight said. "Yeah. But I saved you from falling on the docks so that you could save the campers. So technically, it was all me." Timber joked. Twilight giggled. "I'm really glad I met you." She said. ... "Uh oh." Timber said. "What?" Twilight asked. "That sounds like a goodbye. And here I was hoping we'd still be able to hang out. Maybe get dinner and catch a movie?" Timber said with a blush. Ooh... Twilight blushed. Even better! "Yeah, I'd really like that!" Twilight said. "Oh, good! I was hoping that's what this meant." Timber said. Twilight grabbed his hand. The two got really close... Close! And they were about to kiss!!!!!!!1!1!!! .... Then all of a sudden Gloriosa jumped in, ruining the fucking moment! Damn it! "Oh, uh..." She said before laughing nervously. "Sorry. I need to borrow Timber. There are some donors I really want him to meet. They were good friends with Mom and Dad." She said. The two walked away. Timber looked over his shoulder. "Save me a dance, okay?" He said. "Uh huh!" Twilight said. The rest of the Humane 7 sans Rainbow Dash were right behind her. Also Gohan. "Adorable!" Rarity said. "Well, we know you picked one over the other." Gohan said. "He does seem like a pretty cool guy." Sunset said. Rainbow Dash zipped in with her super speed. "You know what else is cool? Our awesome new superpowers!" Rainbow Dash said. "Definitely." Gohan said. Then she explained how she was able to do everything she could. Gohan started to stray away from that. He started to inspect his new pendant. 'This is weird. Why is there a huge feeling of dad in this?' He thought. 'It's got his first kanji on it... Well, that's my first kanji too, but I wear a '飯', not a '悟'. But why did I get a pendant in the first place? I'm no element of Harmony. I didn't get any geode either. Oh, wait, it might because of the Cutie map. Well, there's no other reason it could be here.' He thought. Then it started to glow yellow all of a sudden. "What the heck...?" Gohan muttered. There was a whole lot of Goku to be felt right there. It died down and it was normal again. 'What was that?' Gohan thought. *** Well, the rest of Camp Everfree went by and Gohan was heading home! Well, not without the dock being destroyed ONE MORE FUCKING TIME by Pinkie. But yeah... That's it. Author's Note This has to be the second longest chapter I will ever write. I fell asleep and woke up to just post it right now. I really tried on the romance, but I don't think it ended up well. What do you think? And I'm sure you can tell I used Vegeta's anger in this one. Except it wasn't the exact same, I *spoilers*. Anyway, power level time! Because it's my favorite time waster just under this! (Post Battle) Twilight Sparkle - 3,900 Magic - 2,000,000,000 Rainbow Dash - 8,200 Magic - 1,750,000,000 Applejack - 18,500 Magic - 1,800,000,000 Pinkie Pie - 7,500 Magic - 1,500,000,000 Rarity - 6,000 Magic - 1,300,000,000 Sunset Shimmer - 7,800 Magic - 1,600,000,000 Fluttershy - 5,700 Magic - 1,200,000,000 Gloriosa (Gaea) - 1,400,000,000 Gohan - 64,250,000,000 SSJ2 - Fucking Overkill Broly: The Third Coming (Gettin Real Tired of Your Shit, Broly) Pt. 1In space, a body was floating. It kept revolving around the sun harboring Equestria. This body wasn't a dead body. It was alive, just near the brink of death two years ago. It was healed, but stuck in a coma. It seems as if it were about to last forever. With nothing in thoughts, ever. Can't even hear a word. Who was this person...? How is this person even alive? How was he at the brink of death? He was actually at the brink of death twice. What was his name? His name... Is Broly. The Legendary Super Saiyan. Why is he here? Eleven years ago, Broly had emerged to Goku as the Legendary Super Saiyan. He lost, and he was thought to be dead. However... Seven years after that... Broly had actually survived. He landed on Earth, where he fell into a coma. But... All it took was Goten's crying, and- Broly was awake. It took everything from Gohan and Goten to just barely stop Broly. He understood that the Legendary Super Saiyan is a huge threat. Eventually, with the combined effort of Gohan, Goten and nonexistent Goku... Broly was beaten once more with a strong Bros Kamehameha. That blast was aimed at the Sun to destroy Broly once and for all. However... By sheer luck, that blast missed the Sun. It went far away from that. The blast eventually died down, and Broly orbited around a new star. Called yet another sun. And he fell into a deep coma. In the vacuum of space. Seems like he'll never wake up. But... Suddenly, against all odds... In the vacuum of space... Broly is awake. How? As soon as Gohan obtained his pendant, it was enough for Broly. Broly could sense Kakarot. Goku. He could feel him. Broly heard the cries of his almost hated enemy... Kakarot. "Uwah!" He heard. The cries... Oh, how they enraged him so. "Kakarot..." He muttered. Broly managed to move his body. It's been too long since he moved, and his muscles were almost frozen. His movements created crushing sounds that were lost in space. He got himself up, and let his yellow aura flare! "Kakarot!" He yelled. His power wasn't strong enough to be felt, but he wasn't at full power. "Just you wait...! I can easily locate the presence of your energy!" He yelled. His anger was real. His power was growing greater than before. Once he can channel it... Broly powered up enough that a sphere enveloped him. This sphere started heading for Equestria. Slowly... But surely. While his power was returning. *** The Humane 7, Spike and the Saiyans were in front of the portal having a picnic. Sunset stretched. "A nice summer day, hanging out with your friends, and best of all, you close your eyes and fall right into your boyfriend's arms." She said, doing a trust fall. "My hands are full." Gohan said, with a chicken leg in his mouth, another in his hand, a bowl of noodles in the other, a bowl of fried rice on the side of his thigh and dumplings right at his crossed feet. Sunset fell on her back and hit her head. "Ow!" She said. "Are you okay?" Goten asked. "Perfect boyfriend." Rainbow Dash joked. Fluttershy uncharacteristically smacked her in the back of the head. "Did Applejack give you a lesson or something?" Rainbow Dash asked to Fluttershy, rubbing her head. "No. But that wasn't nice." Fluttershy said. "Sorry." Gohan said, putting his noodles down and helping Sunset up. "It's fine... I should've asked first." Sunset said, rubbing her head. Gohan started devouring his food. "Who made this?" He asked, before he swallowed some noodles. "I made your portion of the meal... My kitchen is a mess." Sunset said. "I bet. We made our food." Rainbow Dash said. "You're a great cook!" Gohan said, drinking some soup. "Thanks!" Sunset said. "I agree!" Goten said, eating some of her dumplings. "It's better than mine!" Gohan said, eating some rice. Sunset was flattered and blushed. "Kinda like how mom used to make food, right Goten?" Gohan asked, not done with his plate. "Yup!" Goten said. Halfway through... It's as if something snapped. 'What the heck is that mind boggling ki?' He thought. "Gohan, what is that?" Goten asked. "What is what?" Applejack asked. "This mind boggling ki... Is it... Broly?" Gohan asked, putting his unfinished plate down. "Broccoli? Hey, I hate those!" Goten said. "Not Broccoli, Goten." Gohan said. "Is something wrong?" Sunset asked. "Yes. Very much so." Gohan said, wiping his face with his arm. "What's wrong?" Goten asked. "It's Broly... I think." Gohan said. "Wait, you mean that guy?" Pinkie asked. "He dragged you across a building before throwing a blast at you that was repelled by Piccolo?" Sunset asked. "T-The ki is very similar, yes. Only stronger, this time." Gohan said. Remember, she now knows every detail Gohan knows about his past. "I'm confused." Goten said. "You weren't there for it, darling." Rarity said. "You guys have to stay back." Gohan said. "Y-You're serious..." Sunset said. "I am. It's too dangerous for you all. Most notably Goten. Don't follow me. I'll be back." Gohan said, flying away. *** Broly landed in a wasteland. "Kakarot... I will bathe in your blood." He muttered. He felt Gohan's ki, and mistook it for Goku. Broly grinned evilly. "It looks like Kakarot has come to die!" He said before laughing. He started jumping from tall rock formation to tall rock formation. *** Gohan was in a wasteland, standing still. Broly was approaching, and fast. He eventually landed, leaving tons of rubble in his wake. The two stared each other down. Broly had torn up clothes and his dried up blood disappeared. He came back for the third time. 'How is he back for a second time...?' Gohan thought. He had exploded, right? "You... You're not Kakarot." Broly said. "I am not. I'm his son." Gohan said. "But... I have big sense of Kakarot in you..." Broly said, pointing at Gohan. Mainly because of his pendant. "Broly, I don't know how you came back, but you're not going to win this time!" Gohan yelled. Broly cackled. "I have returned from the brink of death to kill his pitiful son." He said. Gohan clenched his fists. "I am going to wipe the floor with you." Broly said. Gohan wasn't too scared. "I'm going to take my father's place and defeat you, Broly." He said, getting in a fighting pose. *** "What was he going on about with this 'Broly' character?" Applejack asked. "I dunno. Feels strong! I wanna join Gohan!" Goten said. "Now now, we were told not to and he's already gone." Sunset said. He was gone. "Dang it! Goten!" Sunset yelled, trailing him. "Spike, stay here." Twilight said, flying away. The rest followed. Rainbow Dash was the fastest, but could only barely reach Goten. *** Gohan and Broly were clashing. Well, more like... Like, flailing angrily. There's so much action! "HAAAAAA....!" The two yelled as they held each other's hands with their hands and pushed each other. This went on for a while... Sure is a lot of not killing Goku going on. You know what would fix that? A good ol' rousing round of killing Goku. Oh wait, he's dead. Anyway... Broly finally struck by holding Gohan upwards. He let go of his hands and kicked him towards the sky! He trailed and threw a fist! Gohan caught it with his rather tiny hands. Broly was surprised. Gohan tossed him to the side and firing three ki blasts at him. All hit. Broly recovered and charged at Gohan! He threw his green ki blast, which would explode into an even bigger explosion. Gohan knew that... And he destroyed it with his fist before it would combust. Much to Broly's surprise. Broly may have been powerful, but Gohan was not only stronger. But smarter. Broly was very predictable, and Gohan could tell. Gohan flew down to the ground. "Come on!" He said, gesturing for Broly to follow. Broly wasn't happy that Gohan was treating him like a house pet... So he charged! He threw his giant fist, and Gohan dodged. Gohan retaliated by punching Broly in the chest. He was sent far. Broly used his hand to stop his momentum on the ground and stand again. He charged at Gohan, who in turn was charging at him. Gohan rammed his shoulder into Broly, pushing him through plateaus and rocks. Broly eventually grabbed Gohan and kicked him up to the sky! Gohan stopped quickly and threw a ki blast at Broly. It got him right in the cheek, actually leaving a scratch. "W-What is this...?" Broly asked, wiping his cheek. Gohan landed nearby. "You know you can't win, Broly. I'm not even a Super Saiyan, yet you struggle against me." He said. Broly roared before he charged at Gohan again. Instead of punching Gohan, he got punched right in the face only to be axe kicked to the ground. "Your power is close to mine. But, you're too predictable and you leave yourself open. Your own overconfidence will be your undoing." Gohan said. Broly got himself up. "How... HOW!?" He asked. "Gohan!" Goten yelled, getting closer. Gohan looked over his shoulder in fear. "Goten...? Run!" He yelled. "Kakar....ot?" Broly asked. His anger started to boil. Much to Gohan's horror. If Broly saw Goten... Well, he's actually seeing him. Then there's no doubt with his pea sized brain that he will consider him to be Goku. Goten landed beside Gohan. Then the rest of the Humane 7 came. "Goten, he said no!" Sunset said. Goten stuck his tongue out. "I'm serious Goten!" Gohan yelled. "Kakarot...." Broly said. "You guys need to run, NOW!" Gohan yelled. "That's Broly? That's some serious muscle." Rainbow Dash said nonchalantly. Broly started to break the ground around him. Then the Humane 7 started to fear Broly. "Wow! He's strong! I wanna try!" Goten said, turning Super Saiyan. "Kakarot...!" Broly yelled. "Carrots? I don't like carrots!" Goten said. "Uh oh, guys." Pinkie said. "This is what I meant!" Gohan said. "KAKAROT!" Broly screamed, powering up immensely. The winds from his aura made it hard to see him. He kept screaming. "What is happening!?" Twilight yelled. "He's getting stronger!" Gohan yelled. The others struggled to stay still, so they ponied up. Broly was still screaming. "KAKAROT...! KAKAROT! I WILL END YOU!" He screamed. "WHY AREN'T YOU GUYS RUNNING!?" Gohan yelled. Broly finally stopped screaming and panted. "Why aren't you guys running!?" Gohan repeated. "We wanna see now! There's a nine foot tall- What happened to his hair?" Rainbow Dash asked. Broly... He's transformed. "What is that!?" Gohan asked. The Legendary Super Saiyan 3! "KAKAROT!" Broly screamed, charging at Goten. 'Oh no.' Gohan thought. Author's Note Well, I was in the middle of writing the season 7 part, buuuut... This came to mind. So I did it! I have a photo as to justify the name of the chapter. https://pm1.narvii.com/6395/f88ae2adf51e6c2eb02fe2ca9ce346cef9e34f4e_hq.jpg And to AGuyWhoDoesNotCare... This answers your question. It's late, I know. Okay, let's cut the bullshit, power levels. Broly - 550,000,000 SSJ - 27,500,000,000 LSSJ - 41,250,000,000 LSSJ3 - 330,000,000,000 Broly: The Third Coming (Gettin Real Tired of Your Shit, Broly) Pt. 2Broly grabbed Goten by the face and literally wiped the floor with him. "Goten!" Gohan yelled, trailing after him. Rainbow Dash followed. "What the heck is going on!?" Twilight asked. "I got you brot-" Gohan said before Broly let loose with Goten, sending him sliding across the ground and blasting Gohan away with a green blast. "Take this!" Rainbow Dash yelled, firing a powerful yellow blast from her hands. There was smoke around Broly. A giant hand emerged from the smoke and grabbed Rainbow Dash in the face. Rainbow Dash desperately clawed at his bulky arm. He hurled her at the rest of the Humane 7. Fluttershy caught her. "Are you okay?" She asked. "Ouch..." Rainbow Dash said as she got herself standing. "Let's help!" Twilight said. "Yeah!" The girls said, powering up, making their individual auras flare. Except Fluttershy, she was scared out of her mind at the sight of Broly. "KAKAROT!" Broly yelled, slowly walking towards Goten. He was nearly out of stamina from that one attack... His Super Saiyan form was no match for a Super Saiyan Broly, let alone a Legendary Super Saiyan. And he lost the form. Rainbow Dash flew after Broly, Applejack lifted a boulder and punched it at Broly, Rarity sent a diamond going at him, Sunset ran at him, Pinkie threw an entire bottle of sprinkles at him, and Fluttershy cowered, still. Twilight tried using her magic to hold Broly back. Broly only walked, and broke her magic. "Ah!" Twilight yelped, feeling mindfucked a bit. "Are you alright?" Fluttershy asked, helping Twilight stay standing. "I'm alright..." She said. Broly turned around and charged at his opponents. First, he punched Rainbow Dash once, and she was down for the count. Ponied down. Then, Rarity's diamond shattered at the mere touch of Broly. "Ouch!" Rarity yelped, grabbing her head in pain. Felt mindfucked as well. Broly tanked the sprinkle explosion, as well as the boulder, and his next victim, Sunset, stopped short. She was about halfway there, but he's that damn powerful. Broly cackled as he charged at Sunset. Sunset braced for impact, and- "YOU LEAVE HER ALONE!" Gohan screamed, dropkicking Broly right in the side as a Super Saiyan. Sunset looked to see Gohan starting to push Broly back. But, she wasn't going to stand idly by. She had a friend to help. She went to Rainbow Dash and held her over her shoulder. By that I mean her whole body. Head forward. (Her head's in front of Sunset. She ain't checking out the rear.) What she didn't know was that her hands were glowing orange, yet she wasn't seeing her memories... Foreshadowing. Broly broke free and tried to attack with a punch. Gohan grabbed this giant fist and swung Broly into the ground. He then kicked Broly quite some distance away. Broly's face went across the ground. "Sunset! Get Goten and get as far away as possible!" Gohan yelled. Sunset did as she was told. "I'm gonna make you pay, Broly!" Gohan yelled. "For what you did to Goten and Rainbow Dash!" He yelled, making his aura flare. Broly got himself up. "I am going to kill you...!" He yelled. He made his yellow greenish aura flare. Gohan was unfazed by Broly's rage. 'Broly... I wish you weren't an enemy.' He thought. "Broly, you won't win. You may have this... Form, but you stand no chance against me anymore." Gohan said. "No... I will never stop. NOT UNTIL KAKAROT DIES!" Broly screamed, charging at Gohan. He smashed his fist into Gohan's face! Gohan didn't move an inch. He grabbed Broly's massive hand with one hand and twisted it. Broly yelped. *** Sunset got to Goten. "Alright little guy, you-" Sunset said before suddenly, Rainbow Dash was trying to get off. "Stop. I'm gonna carry you over there and you can rest." Sunset said. "What do you mean? I'm totally fine!" Rainbow Dash said. "What?" Sunset asked, completely confused. "You were just punched by whatever Super Saiyan form that was and you were down!" She said. Rainbow Dash managed to get herself off. "Well, yeah. That hurt. But I feel completely fine for some reason." Rainbow Dash said. "Y-You're lying!" Sunset said. "Nuh uh!" Rainbow Dash said, ponying up. "What?" Sunset asked, carrying Goten in her arms. Her hands were glowing orange at that time as well. "Uh... Your hands?" Rainbow Dash asked. "What do you- Huh?" Sunset asked, looking down at Goten. *** Gohan let out a war cry before punching him in the gut with his other hand. Broly coughed loudly. Gohan wasn't done yet. He pummeled Broly to nearly no end! Broly couldn't believe it. His brand new form reduced to a pile of garbage. Gohan then blasted him into the rock formation nearby! Pierced right through him, and right through the stomach! Put a hole in it for the second time! Broly lost his Legendary Super Saiyan 3 form and was reduced to a regular Legendary Super Saiyan. He was panting for his life. Blood escaped his mouth. "I can't take any more chances with you, Broly." Gohan said, beginning to charge a Kamehameha in his hands. Broly was laying in his own anguish. He could only stare at the sky blankly. It was around 6 pm, and the moon was kind of out. A full moon... "The moon..." Broly muttered. Then his chest started to beat. Gohan realized what was happening. He had to finish it now! *** "Uh...Huh?" Goten asked as he woke up. "Goten?" Sunset asked. The Humane 7 were all together and a good distance away from the action. "What happened...?" Goten asked as he got on his two legs. "You're healed! This... This is another part of my magic!" Sunset said, looking at her hands with a smile on her face. "Huh. Wonder if we have any extra super power." Applejack said. "That would be so awesome!" Rainbow Dash said. Then they all saw a very huge blue beam fire across the horizon. "Well... Gohan won." Sunset said. "That was a close one..." Twilight said. Everyone started to pony down. Goten had a look of fear. "N-Not quite!" He said. "What are you talking about?" Sunset asked. Then, a legendary golden oozaru emerged from the blast, killing it! Much to Gohan's horror. 'No... No!' He thought. "What the heck is that!?" Applejack asked. "Nice... Big... Scary...! Gorilla!" Fluttershy said in huge fear. "It's what Gohan turned into when he..." Goten stopped short. "He what?" Rarity asked. "Turned into a Super Saiyan 4..." Sunset said. "Wait... Don't tell me..." Rainbow Dash said. The oozaru roared loudly! He had yellow greenish fur... He fired a red blast from his mouth. Gohan narrowly dodged. 'His power's increased tenfold! Then this!? Now I know how Goten feels.' He thought. If you don't understand, he meant Broly's base increased tenfold. Then, the legendary golden oozaru, which is about 750x. That's what I mean. 'I can only hope...!' He thought. Gohan flew right at Broly. Broly swung his gorilla hand at Gohan, who narrowly dodged underneath. Gohan threw a punch, only slightly hurting him...!? 'You're kidding! Super Saiyan can't harm him now!? How!?' He thought. Broly roared. Gohan flew back for some distance. He powered up into a full power Mastered Super Saiyan 2. "Please be enough!" Gohan muttered, firing another Kamehameha at Broly. Broly... He jumped away to dodge it! "What the heck!?" Gohan said. 'He dodged it...?' He thought. 'How am I going to...' He thought, looking at the moon. "W-What's happening!?" Applejack asked. "He dodged it!" Goten said. "This isn't gonna end well!" Sunset said. "Why is Gohan's Super Saiyan 2 so different now...?" Goten muttered. (It's the same thing with Trunks. He managed to get on par with SSJ3 Goku with SSJ2 in the manga. Although Goku held back, he was obviously putting himself at Trunks level.) Gohan's power was similar to that if he were a Super Saiyan 3. "What's Gohan going to do...?" Sunset asked. "Well, duh! He's gonna blow up the moon, then Broly's gonna go Super Saiyan 4, then Gohan will beat him down, then Broly will get ANOTHER zenkai, then he'll beat Gohan down, then we'll jump in, Gohan will be back, and he'll take care of Broly no problem!" Pinkie sputtered. "Uh... What?" Twilight asked. "I sincerely doubt that Gohan would blow up the moon. I mean, Equestria's tides will eventually manage, but he knows the importance of the moon here! He would never-" She said before Gohan blew up the moon with a powerful ki blast. "You were Saiyan?" Pinkie asked. "Good one!" Rainbow Dash said. "Girls, this isn't the time for jokes!" Sunset said. Broly reverted back to his base form... Receiving the third boost in power in this fight. This scary boost would even scare Gohan. Gohan flew down to the ground to see Broly. Broly was actually seemingly weakened. "You attained another form of Super Saiyan... I will go higher." Broly muttered. He stood tall and made his aura flare for a moment. "The bloodbath begins with you..." He said, enraged even further. First, Gohan toyed with him. Then, the sight of Goten made his blood boil. At this point Broly was more than just angry. Broly turned into the Legendary Super Saiyan... Then Legendary Super Saiyan 2... (This is getting repetitive.) Then 3... 'H...He can't be going Super Saiyan 4!' Gohan thought. "His power's increasing to no end!" He said. Broly's rage really broke this time. Broly exploded with green everywhere. Everyone was blinded by the light. Broly came out from it... Green aura... Black hair... Red body hair... Insane power... "No...!" Gohan said, in true astonishment. Broly... He... Was the Legendary Super Saiyan 4. "Is he...?" Twilight asked. "We have TWO!?" Rainbow Dash asked. Author's Note Oh shit. We're in some deep shit. L. Golden Oozaru Broly - 4,125,000,000,000 LSSJ4 Broly (Zenkai) - (unreleased) And as you can tell from the text... SSJ2 Gohan - 25,800,000,000,000 Because of the power scaling I'm using to justify it. (DBS) Broly: The Third Coming (Gettin Real Tired of Your Shit, Broly) Pt. 3"Why do these things keep happening to us...?" Fluttershy asked. "Trust me when I say we need Gohan for all of them." Sunset said. "We don't, but we'd rather have him punch the face in of everyone." Rainbow Dash said. Anyway... "Broly... You..." Gohan said. 'What am I supposed to do!?' He thought. Broly grinned and pointed at Gohan. "I am going to wipe the floor with you and bathe in all your bloods." He said. Gohan's pendant started to glow. Broly felt more Goku than ever before. "Kakarot..." He muttered. He charged! 'Oh n-' Gohan thought right before a giant furry arm took him for a lariat ride into many rocks. Gohan clawed for freedom to no avail. 'I have to turn Super Saiyan 4 as quickly as I can!' He thought. He put two fingers to his head. But Instant Transmissioning would result in the same thing happening... 'But Broly can be tricked.' He thought. It was worth a shot. Shooting a full power Kamehameha wouldn't knock Broly back in the slightest. Even if he could garner that power. Gohan teleported to the sky! Where Broly stopped in confusion. 'Now's my only chance!' Gohan thought. He pointed his fingers to his face. "Solar Flare!" He yelled, unleashing the blinding light into Broly's pupilless eyes. Broly reacted on instinct, screaming in pain. His eyelids were red... "Is he gonna do it?" Pinkie asked. "I hope...!" Sunset said. Gohan jumped back on top of a rock formation. "You aren't the only one with that form! Rraaaaagh!" He screamed, powering up. A yellow sphere enveloped Gohan, much to Broly's surprise. "W-What!?" He asked. Gohan broke the sphere into a million little droplets of ki! He was a Super Saiyan 4! Broly finally regained his sight. "Er...What!?" He asked. "Prepare yourself, Broly!" Gohan said, getting in his usual fighting pose. Broly only grunted. "DIE!" He yelled, unleashing his Eraser Cannon on Gohan. Gohan didn't move. As soon as it touched him... BOOM! Big ass green explosion! "No!" The Humane 7 and Goten yelled. Even he couldn't make the difference when it came to raw power. The blast died down. "W-Where's Gohan!?" Sunset asked. "H-He's alive!" Goten said. "What!?" Rainbow Dash asked. Broly cackled as the smoke died down. "You call that an attack?" Gohan insulted from inside the debris. "W-What!?" Broly asked. Gohan used his aura to make the debris go away. He was standing atop a very, very law defying thin piece of rock. Unfazed, too. "Your power may have increased dramatically, Broly. But I stand from a point higher than you will ever reach!" Gohan yelled, making the rock disintegrate. He floated in mid air. "I will end you!" Broly screamed, diving down for Gohan. Gohan flew towards Broly at the same time. Gohan and Broly both threw punches, and they collided with each other. The shockwave of just that could be felt by the far bystanders. The two started clashing with even more. The bystanders just looked in sheer awe. "Wow... Saiyans, am I right?" Pinkie asked. "Uh... I guess?" Goten asked. Awkward... "Oh crap, was that racist?" Pinkie asked. "Yeah, it was." Sunset said. "Aww... I didn't mean to." Pinkie said. "That's alright." Goten said. "You know, I made a chart on where we all stand in this thing, because between the Super Saiyans, us and whatever the heck keeps coming from the pony world..." Twilight said. "Oh don't you start!" Rainbow Dash said. "Hey! I was a she demon trying to fight Gohan! Stuff got crazy!" Twilight said. "I've been a she demon to fight Gohan too! And nearly died more times than you have!" Sunset said. "True, but you know what the difference is? When you were a she demon, you stepped on everyone to get it WILLINGLY. When I was a she demon, I was FORCED into it." Twilight said. Sunset couldn't retaliate. "Gonna need a senzu for that one..." Pinkie said. Broly roared before he tried grabbing Gohan's head. Gohan maneuvered underneath and repeatedly pummeled Broly's meat grinder stomach. Eventually Broly made his aura flare to push Gohan away. But he wasn't done! Gohan flew right through and grabbed Broly's head! "Let's see how you like this one!" He yelled, pushing him down to the ground. He was giving Broly a taste of his own medicine. Slamming his head into the ground! Cracked the ground. Gohan jumped off Broly's chest, burrowing him a bit deeper and fired an energy blast barrage! By that I mean he swung his arms around as he threw ki blasts. With every ki blast, the smoke and explosions grew bigger. "What's wrong, Broly!?" Gohan yelled as he kept throwing. He was drunk with power at this point. (A thing he still deals with as an adult. In fact, he did it against Frieza...) "You said you would bathe in my blood!" He taunted. He finally ended his assault. Broly was in the crater, damaged... And most importantly angry. "Kakarot..." He muttered. He was hallucinating because when the smoke died down, he saw Goku beside the superior Super Saiyan 4. That was his breaking point. The taunting... The pain... The Kakarot... It was just too much. And the already boiling blood inside him reached maximum overdrive. Broly got himself up. 'What's happening...?' Gohan thought. "KAKAROOOOOT!" Broly screamed, powering up immensely. It seemed like his injuries were just healed in that moment! Although only the scratches and scars disappeared. His stamina was the same... Or it increased. "KAKAROT!" He screamed. Broly's strength, defense, technique, and speed increased drastically. '...That's not good-' Gohan thought right before Broly smashed his gigantic hand into his chest. Sending him flying! "What in tarnation!?" Applejack asked. "Gohan was just brutalizing him a moment ago!" Twilight said. "Did Broly just get another power increase!?" Sunset asked. "We don't know that! Maybe he got a lucky hit! Or Gohan's faking!" Goten said. Broly trailed, flipping before stomping on Gohan's stomach straight into the ground! Gohan coughed... Blood? Oh fuck. The tremors could be felt from afar. "WHAT'S WRONG, KAKAROT!?" Broly screamed, jumping up and stomping down on him again! Burrowing him deeper into the ground! He cackled as he kept repeating this over, and over, and over, and over until Gohan fell into the mini canyon he made. "That didn't look like a fake!" Applejack said. "This is not good!" Rarity said. Gohan burst from the ground and smashed his fist into Broly's face. Unfazed...? 'What!? Oh, right. He did what he did last time... This is Frieza all over again... I let this happen.' Gohan thought, flying backwards. Broly trailed him. 'I need a plan!' Gohan thought, picking up his speed. 'Broly's power will grow faster at this rate! He's making significant jumps in power! I should've ended it while I could.' He thought. Broly actually caught up and grabbed Gohan's tiny foot. He swung him down to the ground! The swing actually had some green aura to hit. Broly wasn't done yet. He flew down at Gohan and kneed his stomach straight into the ground! Gohan was smashed into the ground. He actually had to cough blood. Left quite the crater. He was actually pretty worn out by Broly's sudden power. Broly's rage and numerous zenkai boosts have really overpowered him. 'Jeez... My body feels like jelly...' He thought. 'He's even stronger than Frieza now... I can't hold my own anymore. Even if I could move, I probably can't land it.' He thought. Broly cackled, holding a small Eraser Cannon in his palm. "Here's a present for you! HAHAHAHAHAH!" He yelled, letting it loose at Gohan. It slowly but surely made it's way. 'Dang... Dad, I've failed. Sorry.' Gohan thought, closing his eyes in shame. His pendant started glowing. Brighter than ever before... 'I'm sorry, Sunset. I couldn't protect you this time...' He said with tears in his eyes. "No!" Sunset yelled, running towards Gohan. She heard that thought somehow. "He's gonna die!" Rainbow Dash said. "What are we gonna do!?" Goten asked. "I don't know..." Twilight said. "A Super Saiyan 4 isn't enough to beat him... Then nothing can!" Rarity said. "Sunset, get back!" Pinkie yelled. "No!" Sunset said with tears, running as fast as she could. The green blast finally reached what she thought was a base form Gohan. With wilder hair- What? And white sparkles? What, did he attain Ultra Instinct or something? Well, there's no way of Gohan getting that. So I say no to that! The hell is that? He has a big '悟' on his back. "GOHAN!" Sunset screamed. BOOM! Holy fuck! That was huge! It blew Sunset away! Like ten feet... Until she fell flat on her face. "No...!" She muttered at the sight of the powerful green blast. Goten stared in shock. 'Gohan...! No...!' He said with tears running down his face. "I...Is Gohan...?" Applejack asked. "No..." Twilight said in disbelief. "N-No..." Fluttershy said. "It can't...! No!" Sunset said with tears rolling down her face. 'This is the worst day ever!' She thought. Author's Note Oh shit. Gohan's dead! Oh wait... Sorry, that's the spoiler to another ch- I need to shut up and change my plan. Anyway, yeah. Broly, you and your fucking zenkais are unfair, man! LSSJ4 Broly (Beginning) - 114,000,000,000,000,000 (Fourth Damn Weak Zenkai + Rage) - 520,000,000,000,000,000 SSJ4 Gohan - 260,000,000,000,000,000 How the hell are they going to beat Broly!? Especially since I overpowered him!? And especially since Gohan's- Broly: The Third Coming (Gettin Real Tired of Your Shit, Broly) Pt. 4There was a huge yellow blast countering the green blast! It was smaller... But it was actually pushing it back! Screams that was not Gohan's could be heard. Then the yellow blast suddenly turned red! "What!?" Broly asked. The two blasts killed each other, despite the red one being much, much weaker. Sunset got herself up. The rest of the Humane 7 and Goten ran up to her. "What was that!?" Sunset asked. "It felt like Gohan's necklace...?" Goten muttered. 'But times a million!' He thought. Inside the crater was Gohan and another figure. One with sparkles and white aura and a spiritual appearance. Well, he had a red aura now. And he was panting. And then he was sucked into Gohan's pendant. "What was that...? Kakarot?" Broly asked. "Let's get to Gohan!" Applejack said. Everyone rushed to him, and he was found unconscious in the hole. Super Saiyan 4. "It looks like more insects have come to die!" Broly yelled, landing fifty feet away. The girls and boy were scared for their lives. "What are we gonna do!?" Rainbow Dash asked. "I think we have to fight him...!" Goten said. "You're kidding." Sunset said. "Nope!" Pinkie said. "If we have to fight..." Twilight said, ponying up. "We'll have to!" Rarity said, ponying up. "I guess..." Fluttershy said, ponying up. Everyone else ponied up and the Saiyan went Super Saiyan. They weren't confident. They were sweating with fear. Broly cackled. "Really? With your power levels!?" He asked. "If it's our last defense, it's going to be our strongest!" Rainbow Dash yelled. Broly cackled as he put a green barrier around himself and unleashed a plethora of blasts from it. Everyone all jumped around to dodge them all! "Take this!" Rainbow Dash yelled, throwing a powerful blast. It was destroyed by Broly's barrier. But that died down soon after, along with the blasts. "Now is Broly... NOW BROLY!" Broly yelled, saying it's his turn. He dashed towards Rainbow Dash, throwing a punch! Luckily, she managed to fly away in time. He smashed his fist into the ground. Twilight tried holding him down with her magic, but... Broly broke free instantly! Twilight felt mindfucked and fell over. "Twilight!" Pinkie said, catching her. Broly had an idea. He started pummeling the ground super hard, sending shockwaves and winds across the horizon! "He's a monster!" Fluttershy said, struggling to keep her stance. "A monster? No, I am a devil!" Broly yelled, stopping his assault. ("OH MY GOD HE'S SO GODDAMN COOL!") "This is an impossible mission!" Rarity said. "I have a plan!" Twilight said. "Anything!?" Goten asked. "If we rush at him from all directions, he could let down his guard. Maybe we can damage him then...?" Twilight asked. "It's risky, but we might as well." Applejack said. "Alright, formation!" Sunset yelled. The eight all got in a far circle around Broly. He was confused because of his pea brain. "Charge!" Twilight yelled. All eight came charging at Broly! At first he couldn't realize how to counter. 'He's confused as to which one of us to lock on! This might work!' Twilight thought. But, as his opponents came close, he acted on instinct. He grabbed Twilight's head and threw her into Fluttershy and Rarity! Then, he kicked Applejack into Sunset and Goten! He smacked Pinkie away and lunged at Rainbow Dash! He smashed his forehead into hers. Everyone had a hard landing! Except Rainbow Dash, she managed to flip and plant her feet on the ground. After a second or two, she stopped. Her forehead was actually bleeding, and it went over her eye. She grunted and vented in frustration. "This is really getting me pissed off!" She yelled. Sunset pushed the two on top of her off her. "You and me both..." She said, panting. "Even if he couldn't react correctly, he's too fast..." Twilight muttered, getting up. Her glasses were shattered on one lens. "We'll get crushed if we just charge at him head on..." Applejack said. Broly cackled. "What do you think you can do!? You're powerless!" He yelled. "That doesn't matter!" Rainbow Dash yelled. "We all have something to protect... And we have to protect it, no matter what the cost!" She yelled. Broly stood for a moment before cackling. "I'll put you out of your misery." He said, holding a very weak blast in his palm. He slowly flew backwards on top of a tall rock formation. "That bastard wants to take the planet out with us!" Rainbow Dash yelled. She yelled and made her rainbow aura flare. "We have to stop it at all costs!" Twilight said. She yelled and made her purple aura flare. Sunset with her yellow, Applejack with yellow, Pinkie with pink, Rarity with purple, and Fluttershy with pink. Goten also yelled, turning Super Saiyan 2. They all jumped to Rainbow Dash's side. The eight all cupped their hands together by their side. "All together now!" Sunset yelled. "Yeah!" Everyone yelled. "Ka...me...ha...me..." They all yelled. Broly let the small blast float down to the group. "HA!" They all screamed, during the Kamehameha wave. As soon as the Kamehameha and (technically) Eraser Cannon collided... There was a big green explosion! The green blast was pushing back the combined Kamehameha! Broly cackled at that. He was barely even trying! And he cackled even more. It stopped in the middle of the air. He wanted to make them struggle and suffer. The group was getting pushed back. "W-We're being pushed back!" Rainbow Dash yelled. Twilight decided to channel her magic into the mix. Creating a blue in the middle purple surrounding Kamehameha! But that barely helped. 'He's too strong! We need more power...!' Sunset said. 'What are we going to do!? Please... Someone, help!' Sunset thought. The struggle continued. Broly's cackles never ended. This was really pitiful. *** 'Gohan... Gohan!' Gohan heard in his subconscious. He woke up in a dark space. It was nothingness. "Was that... Dad?" He muttered. 'Yes, son. It's me. I've been on your chest. You have to wake up, and defeat Broly! This is your fight to finish!' Goku telepathically said. "But how? Broly's too strong!" Gohan said. 'When there's a will, there's a way! Never give up! Your friends are counting on you! If you don't beat him, Equestria's doomed!' Goku said. "...You're right!" Gohan said. *** 'I'm not done yet, damn it!' He thought. He started screaming as his aura flared and he got himself up. "He's up!" Applejack said. The group cheered. Gohan powered up enough that his crater got wider, but the part he stood on remained. He jumped to the place behind the group. "Let's do this! Kamehameha!" Gohan screamed, firing the Kamehameha wave! Broly was surprised at this sudden burst. It got close to him... But he grinned afterwards. "It's stupid of you to resist! I'll put you all out of your misery! HAHAHAHAHAHAH!" He cackled. "We'll see about that!" Gohan screamed. Broly cackled as he added more power! The blast remained in the air. "It's still not enough!" Applejack said. 'What are we gonna do!? Oh I wish Dad was here, he'd know what to do!' Gohan thought. His pendant glowed yellow again. The skies turned into dark clouds. "Gohan! Goten!" Goku yelled, in a spiritual voice. Gohan recognized the voice. So did Broly. "Kakarot...?" He muttered. Goku appeared beside the group! His overall appearance was his usual attire with white sparkles and a white aura. "Dad!" Gohan said. "Dad!?" The Humane 7 asked. "Gohan. You have one way to end this." Goku said, turning Super Saiyan 2. He started charging up a Kamehameha. 'What is he talking about!? He isn't a Super Saiyan 4 or beyond, either...' Gohan thought. "T-That's what Dad looks like?" Goten asked. "Super Kaioken!" Goku screamed, using the Kaioken. His aura turned deep red. And overall appearance, too. "Kamehameha!" Goku screamed, firing the Kamehameha wave at the green blast. With ten Kamehamehas fighting Broly's one attack... This is just asinine. "This is our fight to finish, you guys! Gohan, you're the only one who can stop Broly!" Goku yelled. "I know..." Gohan said. 'But how?' He thought. "Think of the only way you can beat out his power!" Goku said. "Hurry, Gohan!" Sunset said in a strained voice. "We can't keep up much longer! We're putting every ounce of energy into it!" Applejack yelled. 'Surpass Broly...? But... Wait, that's right!' Gohan thought. "Ryu-ken!" Gohan said. "Ryu-ken?" Twilight asked. "This is very greedy of me, but you have to put all your energy into this one. I'm going on a suicide mission." Gohan said, ending his Kamehameha. "W-What are you doing!?" Goten asked. Gohan jumped straight into the blast! "GOHAN!" Sunset yelled. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?" Rainbow Dash yelled. "The only thing he can do to defeat him." Goku said. He himself was getting burned already. The Kaioken put a strain on his body this fast... 'Can't give up! For Gohan! And my other son that I just learned about... Goten.' He thought. Gohan charged right into the green blast. Broly laughed. "He wanted to die that badly." He said. "Ryu-ken! Super Dragon Fist!" Gohan screamed, unleashing the golden dragon upon the blast. The blast instantly shattered to pieces! "What!?" Broly asked. In desperation, he fired more green ki blasts, but they all disintegrated at the touch of the golden dragon. In a final moment of desperation, Broly set up a barrier around himself. The golden dragon powered right through! Put the biggest hole in Broly since Goku did last time! Broly screamed in pain as his lungs and stomach and intestines were all destroyed. The golden dragon disappeared. "FULL POWER!" Goku screamed, going past his limits, going times 3. Potentially ending himself for the fourth damn time. I mean, he shouldn't even exist! Everyone poured their last efforts of strength into their blasts. "Kakarot...! KAKAROT!" Broly managed to scream. The blast got to him. Gohan fired a yellow blast from his palm right at Broly! Evening out the blasts! Broly had no chance to recover from this one! "KAKAR....o........" He yelled as he was being destroyed completely. There was no trace left of Broly. Completely dead. (FYI: Super Dragon Fist is more instant, as in GT Goku didn't wrap himself around his enemy {I. E. Super 17 survived SSJ4 Goku self destruction, but not a base Goku Super Dragon Fist} but it was clearly stronger. Dragon Fist wraps around the victim. Like it did with Omega Shenron, but it was plainly weaker. Or what I say may not be GT Canon but it's what's happening here. That's how I think it is, anyway. Put in the comments if you think it's wrong. I'll take it. Looking at you, HB!) The blasts had died down. The dark clouds were killed, and sunlight hit the wasteland once more. 'We did it... Thank you, dad.' Gohan thought. He slowly floated down to the ground. "We did it!" Applejack said. Rainbow Dash sighed in relief as she fell back on her back. They all ponied down. Goku and Goten reverted back to base form. "We did it!" Goten yelled, running to Gohan. Sunset ran after him, too. "The nightmare is over..." Fluttershy said. They were all burned out. Goku casually started walking towards Gohan. Even in his overwhelmingly screwed state. He's gonna need some ki control practice after this... Gohan reverted back to base form with a weak smile. "Hey guys..." He said. His shirt was only torn a tad, with a few scratches on his pants. Goten stopped as he got in front of Gohan with a biggest smile on his face. "You did it!" He said. Gohan chuckled weakly. "Yeah, I did..." He said. "Gohan!" Sunset said as she got closer. "Hey Sunset...!" Gohan said weakly. Sunset laughed as Gohan ended up picking her up by her hips and swinging her around like a true couple. He eventually put her down. She ended up planting a kiss on his cheek, making him blush. Goten snickered. "Goten, you know not to laugh at that." Goku said from behind. Goten turned around and the two others had their gaze on Goku. "You must be Gohan's father. It's a real honor to meet you!" Sunset said, holding Goku's hand. Goku recoiled in pain. The Kaioken was a bit much. I mean too much. Especially at 3x. "A-Are you okay, sir?" Sunset asked. "Yeah... Ooh... Sorry, using the Kaioken really messes me up. I could really die if I use it too harshly." Goku said. "That reminds me... HOW ARE YOU ALIVE!?" Gohan asked. "I'm not! In fact, I shouldn't exist anymore." Goku said. "...That makes no sense whatsoever." Gohan said. 'I mean, I know Dad's an idiot, but...' He thought. "Hey... Lets not focus on that right now. We have a bit of catching up to do. Especially with your girlfriend." Goku said with a smile. Gohan blushed and recoiled a bit at that. Sunset ended up giggling. "She's pretty cute! Is that sunburn on your face or are you just blushing?" Goku asked. 'Karma...' Sunset thought, giggling some more. "I've only been around for a few days, and already I've used up my resolve. I think it's time I go back to my confinement..." Goku said. "W-What? But... You've only been here so long!" Gohan said. "I'm technically not even supposed to be existing, like I said before. But, I managed to live through you, Gohan. And that necklace right there gave me a chance to finally talk to you." Goku said. "So that's why your ki was present..." Gohan muttered. "Every time it glowed, that was me turning Super Saiyan to try to talk to you." Goku said. "R-Really?" Gohan asked. "Yep! But now I learned telepathy. I'm not doing nothing in there!" Goku said. "Um..." Goten said. "Hm? Oh, right." Goku said, kneeling down to Goten's level. "I know we just met, but I've heard of you, Goten. I may be Goku, but call me daddy!" He said with a toothy grin. Goten was a little shy, but... He smiled. "Hi daddy!" He said, tackle hugging him. Goku recoiled in pain, but he hugged him back anyway. Gohan smiled. 'Finally... But I'm still confused as to why dad's been destroyed.' He thought. 'And how he lived through me...' He thought. "Well, I'm gonna go." Goku said, standing up. "B-But..." Goten said, looking like he was about to cry. I mean, he just met his father for the first time! "Hey... Don't worry! I'll be back! And Gohan will always be there to hear me." Goku said. Gohan nodded. "I'm proud of the both of you. Especially with that new form of yours, Gohan." Goku said. "Uh... Well..." Gohan said. "That tail really takes me back.... Heheh. Anyway, see you all. Tell the others I said hi!" Goku said, right before disappearing into white sparkles. Those sparkles went straight into Gohan's pendant. "Well..." Sunset said, breaking the silence. Gohan smiled. 'Finally. After all this time...' He thought. It actually brought a tear to his eye. "That was nice. Your dad's a really nice guy." Sunset said. "He's harmless to good, nightmare to evil." Gohan said. 'And now you have to take my place, Gohan.' Goku said in his mind. 'Dad?' Gohan thought. 'I support you, Gohan. Keep studying, but never stop training! You are my successor.' Goku said. 'I place my job upon you, son.' He added. Gohan was a bit overwhelmed, but... 'It's what I've been doing for a while. I have to take it.' He thought. "Heh... I'm never going to give up martial arts for as long as I live." Gohan said. "You what?" Sunset asked. "I have to take my dad's place as protector. I won't let him down!" Gohan said proudly. Goten and Sunset smiled. "Well, I'm glad you're being hero forever, BUUUUT!" Pinkie said, popping in from the top of the screen. "H-How are you-" Gohan asked before- *** There was a mini party back at the picnic. Sunset was using her new healing powers on everyone. Lastly, Gohan. "You did great out there." She said. "I let him power up so much that he surpassed me..." Gohan said. "That doesn't matter. We're alive and well, that's what matters." Sunset said. "Heh... I'm gonna always protect you, Sunny..." Gohan said. "Sunny? Heh, you did it again." Sunset said. Gohan blushed a bit. "Sorry, that was instinct." He said. "Don't be. I like the nickname." Sunset said. "I'm not the type to nickname people... But I guess I'll make an exception this time, Sunny." Gohan said. Sunset giggled. 'I'd never imagine you to be the love type, Gohan.' Goku said. 'Oh dad, how clueless mom said you were.' Gohan said. 'You know, you're pretty clueless yourself, Gohan.' Sunset said. 'Well... Um...' Gohan said. Sunset giggled. "My powers are so cool!" She said out loud. "Hey you guys! We're gonna play a game!" Rainbow Dash said. Sunset got up and walked to that. Gohan got up. 'I'll be watching all the time, Gohan.' Goku said. 'And I'll be making you proud all the time, Dad.' Gohan said. Now that Gohan can finally talk to his dad all the time... You can only guess what'll happen in the future. Author's Note Okay, back to season 7... Goku is there, unlike in the movie. Might as well do my hobby again. Goku - 2,100,000,000 Super Saiyan 2 - 210,000,000,000 SSJ2 Kaioken 3x - 630,000,000,000 Aftermath - 5,000 to 450,000,000 (Delayed Onset Ki Disorder) Goku's back! Hooray! Now let's wait a month before I actually post another chapter. The Traveling Planet: Another Enemy Pt. 1On a traveling planet... By that, I mean it's going around the galaxy. It has greenery, but at the center is a base of operations. A large tower. In it, is tons of robots, The commander is a blue mandroid with a yellow helmet, wristbands, boots and chestplate. https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/villains/images/3/31/General_Rilldo.png/revision/latest?cb=20170227082059 All metal, don't forget. And even his blue thong is metal, so there's nothing going on down there. He walked into some sort of control room. Every one of the robots in it bowed to him. He walked up to a table and a chair appeared for him, and he sat on it. "Describe the situation." He demanded. "We have officially neared Planet Equestria. The Planet in question harbors two Saiyans." A robot said. "Huh. I suppose Dr. Myuu has the same information?" The commander asked. "Yes, sir." The robot said. "Then we can't ignore it like we did with Earth... Ugh." The commander said. Then, a hologram appeared on the table. The commander quickly stood. "Master Myuu." He said. It was Dr. Myuu. https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/villains/images/0/01/Doctor_Myuu.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20180303200011 "I have been informed that ugly, wretched Saiyans have been detected on this planet." Myuu said. "That is correct, Master." The commander said. "What will happen to them?" Myuu asked. "Those two will be in my grasp very shortly. I know that they will come here." The commander said. "Is that right?" Myuu asked excitedly. "I'm sure they will make superb research subjects... As well as perfect subjects for torture, like the rest of those Saiyans did to us!" He said. "Make sure you inform the other M-2 commandos that they are to take them as prisoner." Myuu said. "Yes." The commander said. "I say so, because you Machine Mutants can be just a wee too rough, you know." Myuu said. "Particularly the Mega Cannon Sigma boys, you mean?" The commander asked. The two started cackling. *** Well, yet another picnic in front of the portal with the usual gang. Gohan and Goten in their traditional father gi, with Goten losing the sleeves and using wristbands. Spike was there, this time. Gohan and Goten devouring Sunset's home cooked meals... And everyone else enjoying what they brought. "How many picnics have we gone on already?" Pinkie asked. Gohan put down a plate of fried rice, or cha-han. "I'd say about seven." He said. "Have you been counting?" Sunset asked. "To be honest, I lost count at around five." Gohan said. "I lost count at three." Twilight said. "Did any of you even care to begin with?" Spike asked, chewing on a bone. "No." Everyone said. Everyone resumed their meals until Twilight saw something strange in the sky. "Uh... Everyone? Am I seeing things or is that a mini moon in our atmosphere?" Twilight asked, pointing up. "A mini moon in our- What the heck?" Sunset asked. Everyone saw the planet above them. https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/dragonball/images/e/e8/M-2.jpg/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/350?cb=2009031614020 "That looks more like a planet than a mini moon..." Gohan said. "Is there anyone livin' on that there planet?" Applejack asked. "It looks like it's populated at the center." Twilight said. "Then what are we waiting for?" Rainbow Dash asked, standing up. "And what do you mean?" Rarity asked. "Lets check it out!" Rainbow Dash said, jumping off the ground to fly up. ...Until Applejack grabbed her leg. "Hold on there, sugarcube. Ya can't breathe in space." Applejack said. "And the rock seems like it's in space." Goten said. "Do we really want to investigate?" Gohan asked. "I do!" Rainbow Dash said, getting down on the ground again. "Me too!" Pinkie said. "Oh, maybe..." Rarity said. "There could be some evil mastermind on that planet." Sunset said. "Actually, that sounds like a reason we should go." Fluttershy said. Gohan sighed. "Well, it wouldn't hurt to check it out." He said. "Well, count me out. You guys ran into that Broly problem just a few days ago." Spike said. "And we nearly died." Gohan said. "Then, let's go! I've always wanted to visit another planet!" Twilight said. "Are we even sure if there's oxygen on it?" Gohan asked. "There seems to be some forms of plant on there. Judging by the center of that planet... So, I'd bet it's safe." Twilight said. "Okay, everyone grab on, then..." Gohan said, putting two fingers to his forehead. *** The group teleported to a forest, it seems. But a spot in the forest surrounded by trees, but there's no trees around them. Like a bald spot. "Wow! A new planet! This is so amazing! Iwonderwhatkindsoftechnologytheyhave!Doyouguysthinkthat-" Twilight said, before Pinkie put a cupcake in her mouth. Made her glasses slant. "I don't know a single word you said!" Pinkie said. Twilight ended up swallowing the whole thing. "Why'd you do that!?" She asked, fixing her glasses. "We don't wanna hear the nerd talk you and the other egghead will have." Rainbow Dash said. "Hey!" Gohan said. "But she is right, this is an astonishing planet." Rarity said. "These trees seem like they're taller than ours." Applejack said, inspecting a tree. "I don't see any critters around..." Fluttershy said. "OW!" Pinkie yelled from inside a tree. Everyone was looking for her. "Pinkie? What happened?" Sunset called. Pinkie's head poked out of the leaves. Also her hands. Holding an apple. "I thought this was a yummy looking fruit, but it's super hard!" She said. "Then that ain't no ordinary apple!" Applejack said. Pinkie dropped it down to the ground. And it made a huge fucking explosion of debris! Not the biggest, but surprising. "What kind of a fruit is made of metal and that heavy!?" Twilight asked. Applejack walked up to the apple deep in the ground and reached for it. She tried pulling it out... And she did, with a lot of effort. "It's metal, alright." She said. "It looks gorgeous!" Rarity said, taking the apple. She dusted it off. "You'd think it's a real piece of fruit until you eat it! This is so pretty!" She said. "What sane person would eat a metallic fruit?" Goten asked. "Are you calling Pinkie insane?" Rainbow Dash asked. "I mean, I probably am! I eat SOO much sugar, I somehow have party cannons available, I don't know what 2 + 2 is, I don't know what I'm even talking about, am I even real, fish, ducks, and tons of sardines!" Pinkie sputtered. Everyone just looked at her in confusion. "I take it back." Rainbow Dash said. "It looks like there's a city over there." Goten said, pointing at said place. "Maybe we can find some of it's inhabitants!" Twilight said. "But we're not looking for new strains of bacteria here, Twilight!" Gohan said. "Aw!" Twilight said. "Cells are relatively boring... But that town looks advanced." Gohan said. "Eh. I guess you're right." Twilight said. *** The group strolled around the city. It was desolated, with no people for miles. It seems advanced, though. "What's with this town?" Gohan asked. "There's nobody here, is there?" Fluttershy asked. "Not that I can sense." Gohan said. "It's like a ghost town- No, a ghost planet." He added. "HEY! IS ANYONE THERE!?" Pinkie yelled. It echoed. ... Then every lamppost started glowing red, and there was a sound of sirens. Then... A bunch of green robot eyes appeared all over the place. Even the ground. "W-What is this!?" Rarity asked. Then, they all emerged from the ground as spherical robots. They all look like Giru. It's a Machine Mutant. https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/dragonball/images/b/b2/OP_Machine_Crowd.png/revision/latest?cb=2012030418072 The green ones. They all started growing arms and legs, and they all surrounded the group! "Pinkie, you're the one who called them, do something!" Rainbow Dash said. "Like what?" Pinkie asked. The robots just started to wander around. "Okay, what is going on?" Twilight asked. "Follow us! Follow us!" The robots said, flying to a tower right smack in the middle of town. "This sounds like a trap." Gohan said. "Who cares?" Rainbow Dash asked, walking towards the robots. Everyone else did so, too. "Come on, Gohan. It wouldn't hurt. Unless you need me to hold your hand for you." Sunset joked. "H-Hey!" Gohan said, following. *** The group somehow landed in a dark alley. "Are we about to be mugged?" Pinkie asked. "What a planet." Rainbow Dash said. Then a bunch of shadows started dancing all over the place. And everyone took notice. Gohan and Goten especially took notice, because of their life energies. Eventually there were three shadows on the walls. "You've come here... Heh." One said. "Guys, you better be careful. They have a lot of power." Gohan said. "Oh... You can peer through to the internal energy we are suppressing?" The same one asked. Then a red robot head peered through the shadow. "Interesting." He said. "Yeah." Gohan said. "In that case..." Sunset said, ponying up. Everyone else followed suit. "It is quite clear why Dr. Myuu wants these Saiyans so." Another robot said, peering it's purple head out. "It's for the Saiyans' intellect!" Another green head popped out. Then a blue one popped out. "Now, let us give them a sample of our power!" It said. Then there were tons of white flashes. Everyone was blinded. And Gohan and Goten's yells could be heard. BOOM! Big ass explosion! The flashes died down... The Humane 7 could see again. Apparently Gohan and Goten put up a barrier around them. Some buildings around them were decimated. "So, that's your power." Gohan said, letting the barrier die down. "This was the perfect day for all of us to wear our necklaces, huh?" Pinkie asked. The rest agreed. "I'm Son Gohan. Who are you." Gohan demanded. "You can call us... The Sigma Force." The red one said. There were four robots now. https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/villains/images/1/14/Sigma_Force_without_Nat.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20100313014750 "We will hold you prisoner." The red one said. "My foot!" Rainbow Dash yelled, dashing at them. "Watch out!" Gohan yelled. Apparently the purple one is turning into little metal marbles. The red one pointed a finger, and... They all turned to a bunch of Spike and rained down on her! "Dang it!" Goten yelled, shoving her out of the way. He got hit, or trapped, actually, "Everyone, move!" Gohan yelled, narrowly dodging the next barrage. Everyone did as such. The spikes all gathered up with Goten inside. And turned into the purple robot once more. With Goten's head sticking out of it's chest like a sore thumb. "What the heck is this?" He asked. "General Rildo will be most pleased with this." The red one said. "Goten! Don't worry, I'll get you out of there!" Gohan yelled, running at him. Then the green one shot it's fists out like Android 16, except it's tied to a string. Gohan punched the two of them away. The two fists were heading towards Rainbow Dash now. She instantly zoomed from the building to building, dodging all the directions it's heading in. Gohan was about to land a punch on the robot's head... But then it turned into liquid. 'Oh no.' He thought before he was punched away by the blue one. "Brother!" Goten yelled. Then suddenly, there was some gas spewing at Goten. He coughed. "I-It's sleeping gas... Ugh..." He said, falling asleep. "Uh oh." Gohan said, landing on his feet. "We must salvage what we can. They bolster impressive speed." The green one said, retracting his arms. "Hah! You suck! Dash - 6, sucker Robots - 0!" Rainbow Dash said. "Wha- How does that count as six points!?" Twilight asked. "We must bring this to General Rildo immediately." The purple one said. "Agreed." The others said, flying off. "Hey! Get back here!" Gohan yelled, trailing them. The Humane 7 all followed. 'Oh great, I can't go a week without something bad happening!' Gohan thought. 'Welcome to my life.' Goku said. Author's Note It's been too long since I posted. Problem is, Season 7 isn't even close to done, and I've been busy as hell. I thought I could drop this while I could, I got a ton of words down in Season 7. Now I'm going on a trip tomorrow, and I can't post for another five days or so, damn. Sorry. I will write as much as I can soon enough. Plus... The guy who killed Gohan's past is coming by after Season 7. And after that, THIS STORY IS O- I'll try to sustain it more, I got plans. Traveling Planet: Another Enemy Pt. 2Back to where we were before... Gohan and the others were trailing four robots, the Sigma Force, because they took Goten. "Dang. They're fast. Have to resort to this..." Gohan muttered, putting two fingers to his forehead. He instantly appeared right in front of the robot carrying Goten, and smashed his fist down on him! "W-What!?" The red one asked, right before it got blasted by magic from Twilight. Rainbow Dash rammed herself into the green one, and Applejack pulled the blue one's head off. Gohan trailed his target, his main objective retrieving Goten. He managed to dropkick it in half, actually freeing Goten. Gohan caught Goten and carried him with one arm. The Humane 7 all flew down to them. "Well, we got Goten back." Rainbow Dash said. "And we took down some robots..." Twilight said. "We can never get a moment of peace... This is getting really annoying!" Gohan said. "I can see..." Sunset said. "You need a relaxation break." She added. "Later. First, we have to take care of this... Thing." Gohan said. The dropped robots... Molted into the ground...? Then they were normal again... Somehow. "That isn't good." Fluttershy said. "There must be some core to this. Let's get in there." Gohan said, pointing at the huge tower. "We need some to stay behind and handle this, though." Sunset said. The Sigma Force were all cackling... "Okay. Plan, effective immediately. Sunset, Fluttershy and I will go into the tower. Twilight, Rainbow, Pinkie, Applejack and Rarity, you handle the Sigma Force." Gohan said. "Wait, why just three to go in there?" Sunset asked. "And why five here?" Applejack asked. "And why me in that big... Scary place?" Fluttershy asked. "Four to handle the Sigma Force, one to watch over Goten." Gohan said. "Huh. You really believe we can take a crack at these guys?" Rainbow Dash asked, cracking her knuckles. "With your newfound power, I'm sure you can handle it." Gohan said. "Okay, Plan Save This Planet from An Empire That Will Be Revealed In The Future Chapters is officially happening!" Pinkie said. "Okay, what?" Twilight asked. "Let's go!" Gohan said, flying away. Sunset followed, as well as Fluttershy, but reluctantly. "Heheheh. Why do organic beings prefer to die in the sunshine?" The red one asked. "Alright, you Sigma Losers! Let's dance!" Rainbow Dash said, flying straight at them. Pinkie, Twilight, and Applejack followed while Rarity looked over Goten. "Fools." The red one said. Rainbow Dash missed a punch on the red one, which flew away. She trailed him, throwing a barrage of punches. Applejack flew at the big purple one, and the two rammed their shoulders into each other. Twilight and the green one were playing some sort of game. Where the green one was molting into the ground a million times. And then Pinkie fought the blue one. Rainbow Dash continued her assault, and the red one scanned her. They were flying into the air. He was knowing all her skills and fighting styles. He dodged a heavy punch, then she tried attacking with a double axe handle. He teleported behind her and axe kicked her down to the ground. Now, let's check in on how Twilight is doing. She's trying to smash her first into where the green one is, but... "WHY! WON'T! YOU! STAY! STILL!" She yelled, flying all over the place. Eventually she got tired and got on one knee to pant. The green one pointed and laughed. "Organic beings are simply futile against us." He said. Twilight's panting turned to... A small chuckle? She used her magic to hold him still! "What is this?" He asked, trying to move. "Magic! I got you now! And you're gonna suffer..." Twilight said. She cupped her hands together slightly. And the robot crushed into itself a bit! "Please stop! Please stop!" He kept repeating. "NOPE!" Twilight yelled, clapping her hands together. He got crushed into a tiny metal ball. Okay, let's get to Applejack, let's get to Applejack! She and the big purple one were clashing pretty intensely. Heavy hit after heavy hit. The purple one was scanning her moves... And once Applejack threw a heavy punch... He dodged and used his stretching arm to push her into multiple buildings! It seemed like it wasn't gonna end... Until... A giant diamond sliced right through the arm! "What! What! What! Danger!" The purple one said. Applejack picked herself up from some rubble. "Thanks, Rarity." She said, before jumping back in. "My pleasure." Rarity said. Applejack flew at the purple one, until- He turned his regenerated hand and his other hand into miniguns. And Applejack had to avoid that.... Close calls. Let's cut to Pinkie. "Error! Error! Error! Does not compute!" The blue one kept repeating as he was constantly hit from side to side. He couldn't scan Pinkie! Too random! His memory was being overloaded with rainbows and puppies! Pinkie had an enormous grin as she kept pummeling him. Rainbow Dash got herself back up. "Damn." She muttered. The red one landed nearby. "We fight calculating fight patterns of our opponents." He said. "Oh. Is that so?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Affirmative." The red one said. "Then I bet you won't see this!" Rainbow Dash said. She started appearing in multiple places around him. Trying to confuse him. She would strike, soon. He calculated the incoming attack. And he predicted where she would be. He threw a heavy punch, and- Rainbow Dash was punched in the gut! Hard. Like, you could see his fist, but it didn't penetrate her. Oh shit, I didn't mean it that way. Don't imagine it like that, you pervs! Anyway... She fell to the ground, holding her stomach. "It is futile." The red one said. "No it ain't..." Rainbow Dash said, getting up. "If you need unpredictable, then..." Rainbow Dash said, crossing her arms. "Come at me." She said. "Affirmative." The red one said. He molted into the ground again. Rainbow Dash was expecting him to hit her a few times. And he did... One punch in the back, one in the face, etc. He knocked her around a bit. Then, she found her chance. She extended her arms out to her side and yelled. She performed a Super Explosive Wave! The yellow explosion stretched out for half a mile! It actually damaged him. Let's cut to Applejack again. Actually, now her and Twilight were in hot pursuit of the purple one. And he was beating them up. Bad... Eventually they were knocked towards Rarity and fell to her feet. "That is not good..." Rarity said. 'Oh, I'd wish you'd wake up, Goten!' She thought. "That ain't good at all." Applejack said. "It's like he knows our every move or something." Twilight said. "Whee!" Pinkie yelled. Everyone looked over to her, even the purple robot. She was sitting on the neck of the blue one. "Error! Error! Error!" It kept repeating. "Whee! Take me to Hollywood and make me wanna go home after five minutes!" Pinkie yelled. Then the blue malfunctioned and stopped. "Aww! You're no fun!" Pinkie said, crossing her arms. She jumped off him and jumped to her friends excluding Rainbow. "Dang, you confused it." Twilight said. "I know, right?" Pinkie said. Rainbow Dash ended her explosion and panted. It took quite some out of her. The red one got some rocks off himself and was steaming mad. "How dare you harm us! We will end you right now. With the Sigma Force Cannon!" The red one said. "And when I thought your name wasn't stupid enough." Rainbow Dash said. "Form the Sigma Force Cannon!" The red one yelled. The other robots nodded and flew into the red one. After some flashes of light... BOOM! The Sigma Force Cannon! https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/dragonball/images/f/f4/Super_Mega_Cannon_Sigma_Power_Up.png/revision/latest?cb=20120827092027 "...That can't be good." Twilight said. "Indeed..." Rarity said. *** Gohan and the other two were in the tower. "What a big place." Gohan said. "Maybe we..." Sunset said. 'Please don't say split up for some more ground...' Fluttershy thought. "...Should stay together in numbers for safety." Sunset said. "Yay..." Fluttershy said. "I don't know, we would cover more ground if we split up." Gohan said. 'YOU SHUT YOUR MOUTH!' Fluttershy thought. "I guess you're right." Sunset said. "Aw..." Fluttershy said. "Okay, let's go!" Gohan said. Everyone split up. Let's start with Fluttershy. 'What am I even worried about? Gohan's confident that they could handle a Super force...' Fluttershy thought. Then she noticed that a giant robot was incoming... She panicked and jumped up to the ceiling. She hugged a pipe. A weak one... And as the big robot passed... The nuts and bolts of the pipe fell clean off. "Oh dear." Fluttershy said. Then the pipe fell down and she hit the robot on accident! "OW! What's the big idea!? Who did that!?" He asked, turning around. The pipe was there... But Fluttershy was nowhere to be seen. "Why isn't anyone here!? This is something I cannot compute." He said, walking away. Fluttershy sighed as she leaned on another wall. "Why did I come... My head hurts... I wanna go home... AH!" She screamed, falling through the wall and into some sort of conveyor belt. Of masks for the Machine Mutants. "Ouch... That hurts..." Fluttershy said. Then she was dropped onto some more masks. "Gohan? Sunset? Anyone...?" Fluttershy whimpered. Apparently there were body parts of all the Machine Mutants right there. And Fluttershy realized something. She picked up the mask and put it over herself. 'It may not be my style... But, It'll do!' She thought. *** In a hall where a few purple Machine Mutants were walking... One of them happened to be the tallest and most upright. And no red eye in the middle. 'They really think I'm one of them... Phew.' Fluttershy thought. She waved to a few passing robots. "Greetings." "Hello..." Fluttershy responded. "Greetings." "Howdy." Fluttershy responded. 'Well, I'd love to know you guys better, but I need to go!' She thought, running away. *** Let's cut to Sunset. 'What kind of a place is this?' She thought. She avoided the Machine Mutants as much as possible... She looked around while hiding behind the wall. A robot noticed her and walked up to her from behind. "Are you plant or animal?" He asked, startling her. She turned around and yelped. Sunset did the first thing off the top of her head. "I'm the end of the road for you, Jack!" She said, punching the crap out of him. She quickly flew away. The robot was releasing red lightning sparks and was broken down. Sunset sighed. "I just hope this Rilldo guy isn't too strong." She muttered. *** Let's cut to Gohan. 'This place is huge. I wonder who that General Rilldo those Sigma guys were talking about is.' He thought as he walked through the place. 'I wonder how strong he is!' Goku said. 'Of course you'd say that.' Gohan said, There were no Machine Mutants... For some reason. Then he noticed some sort of audience of Machine Mutants in one big room. And there was Rilldo at the podium. "All hail General Rilldo!" The Machine Mutants chanted. Rilldo quieted them with a wave of his hand. "As you all know, there are several organic extraterrestrials on the planet. Quickly dispose of them if you can. Bring one of them to Dr. Myuu or I and you will personally be awarded the Medal of Honor!" Rilldo said, throwing his fist up. "Long live Dr. Myuu! Long live General Rilldo!" The robots chanted. 'Rilldo is powerful! Ugh, I'll have to try yet again. But, now is not the time.' Gohan thought, moving away. *** Fluttershy ended up being in a line of Machine Mutants. 'I need to ditch you guys somehow...! I mean, not rudely...' She thought. They were all marching towards a wall. 'Where are we even going?' Fluttershy thought. Her question was answered as a robot passed through the wall like it was nothing. 'Oh no!' She thought. She stopped short in front of the wall. "Error! Never stop! Never stop!" The robot behind her said. 'What do I do!? I can't pass through walls!' Fluttershy thought. "You are impeding forward progress." The robot behind her said. 'Maybe I can just walk through...' Fluttershy thought. She got ready and dashed at the wall! ...She smashed into it and fell over. ... "Defective! Defective!" All the Machine Mutants said, pointing at her. They even came through the wall to just point and laugh. They ended up dragging her somewhere... "Where are you taking me!?" Fluttershy asked. The Machine Mutants tossed her in the defective storage unit and closed the door. "Ow..." Fluttershy whimpered. 'Okay... Now, where am I...?' She thought as she got up. "Giru! Giru!" A robot yelled, startling Fluttershy. She turned around in fear to see a bunch of defective robots. Mostly broken. There was one that was... Not damaged. It was white with a red ocular. https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/p__/images/d/dc/Giru.png/revision/latest?cb=20140122175230&path-prefix=protagonist He was curled up into a tiny ball. "Who are you...?" Fluttershy asked. "Need energy! Energy needed to function! Giru!" He said. "Oh! Uh... What do you eat?" Fluttershy asked. "Any kind of metal is sufficient!" He said. "Oh, okay!" Fluttershy said. She started to take off her disguise, revealing that she's organic. She started crushing the metal together. "Are you plant or animal?" The robot asked. "I'm a human... Here, eat up." Fluttershy said, breaking the disguise into smaller pieces and holding it out to him. The robot opened itself in half (kinda) and used suction to pull the purple metal piece in. "Hmm..." He said. He sprang up and suddenly grew arms and legs. He struck a dab pose. "Giru fully operational!" He said. "So... I take it that your name is Giru?" Fluttershy asked. "Affirmative! Giru! Giru!" Giru said. "I also identify as T2006, or DB4649T2006RS!" He said. "DB6... I'll just name you Giru." Fluttershy said. "Giru! Giru!" Giru said. "You don't seem to be defective..." Fluttershy said. "Giru does not agree with Dr. Myuu or General Rilldo! Giru declared defective by Dr. Myuu himself!" Giru said. "Oh... That's how you ended up here...?" Fluttershy asked. "Affirmative! This is robot hell! Giru, Giru!" Giru said. "Oh... You poor thing." Fluttershy said. "What is your name?" Giru asked. "Me? I'm Fluttershy." Fluttershy said. "What are you doing here?" Giru asked. "Oh... This planet was in our planet's orbit... My friends and I came here, and now we have to deal with this trouble..." Fluttershy said. "Help Giru escape, please! Giru!" Giru said. "What happened?" Fluttershy asked. "Dr. Myuu built an empire after murdering the people who inhabited Planet M-2! Giru!" Giru said. "His dream only consists of perfection! Which is why many other robots, including Giru, have been placed here!" He said. "Oh no!" Fluttershy said. "However!" Giru said, jumping up and into Fluttershy's arms. "Giru trusts that you have a way out, and a plan to stop Dr. Myuu!" He said. "Well... I may not be the solution, but I think I know someone." Fluttershy said, petting Giru. "But, we have to get to him somehow. Hold on, and stay quiet." Fluttershy said, walking up to the closed doors. Traveling Planet: Another Enemy Pt. 3"Prepare for combat." The Sigma Force Cannon said, charging at the six. "And that is our cue to jump out of the way!" Rainbow Dash said. Everyone jumped out of the way, with Rarity carrying Goten. The fused robot used his reaching arm to fire his fist at Pinkie! Pinkie fired a blast at it with both hands! ...But it did nothing, as the hand grabbed Pinkie and smashed her into the ground. "Pinkie!" Rainbow Dash yelled, flying down at the rope, or something. She rammed herself into it! No damage. A red blast hit her from the side! Pinkie and Rainbow Dash were sufficiently damaged. The fused robot took his fists back. "Wake up, Goten!" Rarity said. The robot decided that Rarity was his next target. So, he fired two of his fists at her! Rarity held her palm out and formed a strong diamond! The fists were too powerful, and they broke right through! 'Oh no.' Rarity thought right before she was punched away. She dropped Goten. "Any ideas!?" Applejack asked Twilight. "Well, that depends... Can you get him in a full nelson?" Twilight asked. "...Any plans that include not killing me?" Applejack asked. "Well, we could shake Goten up." Twilight said. BOOM! Goten crash landed! "Gohan is gonna kill us." Applejack said. The Sigma Force Cannon cackled in it's robot voice. "You insects do not stand a chance." He said. There was groaning at Goten's crash site. Goten got up! He dusted his hair off. "Ugh... What happened?" He asked. "Goten!" The rest of the group said. "Get that ugly, no good varmit!" Applejack said. "And with no mercy!" Twilight yelled. "Uh... Okay!" Goten said, turning into a Super Saiyan. "What is this? Your power has increased fifty times fold." The robot said. "It's called Super Saiyan. Now..." Goten said, turning Super Saiyan 2! "W-What!? Hundred times fold!?" The robot asked. "I'm gonna have fun with you!" Goten said, right before he dashed at the Sigma Force Cannon. He was too fast. He rammed his head into it's face! It cracked the visor. "How dare you!" The Cannon said. Goten started smashing his fists into it from side to side. "Wow... We are seriously weak." Twilight said. "Don't say that..." Rainbow Dash said. *** "Ready, Giru? This isn't going to be a stealth mission." Fluttershy said. "Ready! Giru!" Giru said. Fluttershy aimed her hand at the doors and fired a powerful ki blast! BOOM! The doors exploded, and the alarm went off! Fluttershy dashed out of there with Giru! *** Rilldo was in his captain's chair, relaxing... Until the P.A. came on. "Intruder alert. Intruder alert." Rilldo groaned. "On screen, right away!" He said. There was Fluttershy on the screen, carrying Giru. Robots were flying at her, so she ponied up. "That rat needs to be put in a cage. Hmm... Her power's increased many times fold... An interesting creature." Rilldo said. "Emergency! Emergency! Sigma Force completely destroyed!" The P.A. said, showing the screen of Goten beating the fu- I mean, beating up the Sigma Force Cannon. "What!? These life forms have more of a punch than I thought! Gr... At this rate, I'll have to join in." Rilldo said, standing up. *** "Kamehameha!" Goten yelled, destroying the Sigma Force Cannon with his Kamehameha. "Curse! You!" The robot yelled as he was being destroyed. "Finally! You saved our bacon, Goten!" Pinkie said. "Let's wait until Gohan, Sunset and Fluttershy come back." Rainbow Dash said. But then.... Goten felt something strange. "Guys... A big power level is coming at us." Goten said. *** The alarms notified Gohan and Sunset that they could just wipe out everyone now. So... "ATATATATATATATAT-" "HRRAAAAGH! HIYA! TEI!" And Fluttershy was brawling as well. The three managed to meet each other at some sort of fourway hallway. "Oh, there you guys are!" Gohan said. "At least we found each other." Sunset said. "Thank goodness." Fluttershy said. "Giru! Giru! Power level exponential!" Giru said. "And who's this little guy?" Sunset asked. "His name is Giru! You could call him a rebel, of sorts..." Fluttershy said. "Well, let's all get to know him later. We need to get to the others, I think General Rilldo is coming at them, fast!" Gohan said, aiming his palm at the wall. *** Rilldo was flying at the other group, 'You're going to regret making me come out here. You're all going to pay dearly!' He thought. *** "It's here!" Goten said, getting in his fighting pose. Rilldo arrived with tons of wind and debris flying. "I must say, I'm impressed. A mere child beating my Sigma Force." He said, as the debris went away. "If I hadn't watched it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it." He said. "Look!" Rainbow Dash yelled. "You better go back where you came from or you're next!" She said. "Rainbow, now is not the time for that." Goten said. He could feel that Rilldo was leagues above him. "I am General Rilldo, and I rule here." Rilldo said. "Not anymore! Hyaaa!" Rainbow Dash yelled, charging at him, "No!" Goten yelled. The rest of the group braced for whatever was gonna happen to Rainbow Dash... But... Rainbow Dash actually punched him in the face! And kicked him away! He looked damaged! The rest of the group, most notably Goten, were surprised. "T-That... Uh..." Goten said. "He's weak!" Applejack said. "No, he isn't!" Goten said. "Now, leave our planet alone, General with the stinky attitude!" Pinkie said. "I'm afraid I can't do that." Rilldo said. He slowly got up, clearly unscathed. Scared the rest of the group. "You see, all life forms must be replaced with Machine Mutants. We have been going from planet to planet doing this. This is all integral to Dr. Myuu's plan to conquer the galaxy!" Rilldo said. "The galaxy? Gr... My brother's gonna beat you down once he gets here!" Goten said. Gohan, Sunset, and Fluttershy just landed in front of Goten. "Speak of the devil." Applejack said. "Is that a robot!?" Twilight asked. "Not now!" Rarity said. "Hmph. Your power level is greater than that of the other boy." Rilldo said. Gohan shot him a mean glare. "You must be General Rilldo. I'm Son Gohan." He said. "It appears my reputation precedes that of mere organic beings." Rilldo said. "I'm not about to let you harm anyone else." Gohan said, getting into his fighting pose. "Everyone else, stand back." He said. "An amusing tactic. However..." Rilldo said. He shot a green blast from his mouth straight at Rainbow Dash! She screamed in pain as she... She was turned into metal! "Rainbow, no!" Fluttershy yelled, running to her new metal casing. "Danger! Danger! Giru!" Giru said. "T2006." Rilldo said. "Giru...!" Giru said with fear. "Rainbow, wake up!" Fluttershy said. The metal Rainbow Dash vanished. Taken to the laboratory. "Y-You beast!" Fluttershy yelled. She let Giru down and ponied up. "You bring her back right now!" She yelled, jumping up and throwing a fist! He didn't even flinch, "Silly nuisance." Rilldo said, backhanding her away. "What did you do to Rainbow Dash!?" Sunset asked. "Your friend is being taken away to be one of Dr. Myuu's guinea pigs. Think of it as an honor!" Rilldo said. "What do you mean by that!?" Pinkie yelled. "I think I understand. It's like Instant Transmission. But where is she?" Gohan asked. "If you must know... That tower behind me. The one you rudely intruded." Rilldo said. "He will be taken to Dr. Myuu's lab, where he will be dissected and studied." Rilldo said. "The rest of you need to get to that tower and get Rainbow Dash back!" Gohan said. "Sounds like a plan." Twilight said. The rest of the Humane 7 and Goten all flew away. Giru trailed them from behind. "Wait for Giru! Giru!" He said. Rilldo chuckled. "First, you... Then the rest of those little brats! Hraaagh!" He yelled, during the same green blast from before from his mouth. Gohan jumped away to dodge, and that part of the ground turned to metal. 'Oh boy.' He thought as he dodged another blast. Hitting the tree behind him. It turned into pure metal. Rilldo tried many more times in vain. Gohan was just too nimble! Rilldo stopped... And smiled? "You're fast! But not if I disable your movements... The old fashioned way." Rilldo said, getting into a brawler's pose. Gohan flew down to the ground. "I want to end this as quickly as possible. I want this needless fighting to go away!" He said. Rilldo cackled. "Who said anything about fighting yet?" He asked. Gohan just happened to be standing on metal... And a metal hand grabbed his foot. More metal from trees grabbed his other limbs. "H-Hey!" He said. This metal molted into... The Sigma Force!? "New and improved. And factory inspected. You are doomed." Rilldo said. Gohan grinned and chuckled. "Is death funny?" Rilldo asked. "No way. But... I'm not dying today." Gohan said. Gohan powered up, and made his aura flare! He turned into a Super Saiyan! He destroyed some area around him, and the Sigma Force! Rilldo was pushed back a bit, and he held his hands up to block this insane power. BOOM! Gohan created a nice crater in the middle of town. Rilldo was able to see again... He looked at the Super Saiyan in front of him. "Your power has increased fifty fold!" Rilldo said. Gohan just stared back at him. "So it's true. I was right, shame on you. You've been holding back your true power!" Rilldo said. "Yes. I have. And I'm still holding it back. Now, why don't we begin, General?" Gohan asked. Author's Note Well, you can guess what the next chapter is. Anyway... I may as well give power levels. Sigma Force Cannon - 12,500,000,000 Rilldo - 2,000,000,000,000 Traveling Planet: Another Enemy Pt. 4The group were above the tower. "Okay, so we need some sort of plan." Twilight said. "Giru knows the way to Dr. Myuu!" Giru said. "That's great!" Fluttershy said. "Right." Sunset said. "We can't just waltz in and-" "WHEE!" Pinkie interrupted, firing a huge blast at the tower. It put a hole in it so they could get in. "Pinkie!" Everyone but Giru yelled. "What? They already knew we were here." Pinkie said. "Oh. Right. Well, let's get to this Myuu and save Rainbow Dash!" Sunset said. *** "Let's go." Rilldo said. Gohan and Rilldo ran at each other and their arms clashed! Gohan's smaller size made it laughable. The two started throwing barrages of punches and kicks all over the town. So much so that they landed in the forest again. They made a huge mess, sending debris everywhere. Eventually they made their way to the air. Gohan threw a heavy punch, which Rilldo dodged. Rilldo kneed Gohan in the stomach and kicked him in the sides twice! Gohan managed to recover, and dodged and incoming upperkick. But, Rilldo knew that. So he performed an axe kick on Gohan! Knocking him down to the ground! But... Gohan flew back up before he reached the ground, leaving dust behind. Rilldo was caught by surprise, and he was instantly kneed in the chin! Gohan wasn't done there, he uppercutted Rilldo, then pummeled his stomach ten times, and finally, kicked him in the stomach to knock him straight into a building! Rilldo was in the wall... "Are we really through here, General? Or are you just bluffing?" Gohan asked. Rilldo grinned... He aimed his fist and did an Android 16 rocket punch on Gohan! Got him right in the forehead! The fist flew away. "Ow! What an attack!" Gohan said, holding his head. Rilldo got himself off the wall. "I have many special talents. In fact, behind you, there comes another one!" He said. Gohan turned around to be greeted by not a fist, but an open hand, It grabbed Gohan's face and pushed him through several buildings! And straight into the ground. It was still dragging. Then it finally returned to Rilldo, with Gohan's head still held. He chuckled. ... "You're in for a surprise, too." Gohan said, surprising Rilldo. Gohan threw a barrage of ki blasts right at Rilldo's stomach! He didn't stop until Rilldo finally let go of him. Rilldo finally let go. The smoke died down. Rilldo was grinning. "When our scientists are done with you, you're going to make an extraordinary Mutant robot!" He said. "You mean I would be turned into one of those robots?" Gohan asked. "Not quite. You'll probably look a little like me." Rilldo said. "Oh. That's a downer. I don't want to stay a kid forever, but I don't want to instantly look like you." Gohan said. (If you know the foreshadowing... Good on you.) "My girlfriend would have a heart attack if I lost to you, and was turned into one of you." Gohan added. Rilldo did not like the insult, and charged at Gohan! Gohan charged as well! The two rammed into each other, destroying a nearby building. *** A pack of Machine Mutants were roaming the halls. "Intruder alert. Intruder alert. Description: Organic, six females and one male. Seek and destroy. Seek and destroy." The Mutants chanted. The group was 20 feet in front of them. "I suppose this is the welcoming party." Rarity said. "Did you say party? Because this is a bad one." Pinkie said. "Ugh... Let's just fight them already." Sunset said. The seven all dashed into the crowd of robots. And they dispatched of them real easy. The punches, the kicks, the occasional ki blast... Only one remained, and tried to crawl away. "Danger! Danger!" It repeated, right before Applejack grabbed it's tail and pulled it back. "Oh no you ain't." Applejack said. "Tell us! Where's our friend being held!?" Sunset demanded. *** A lab... Rainbow Dash was in a tube of sorts. "Beginning molecular destabilization." A robot said. And just in that moment... The door blew up! "We're here!" Pinkie said. And Rainbow Dash's metal body was already transported. "Oh no!" Sunset said. "Group too late! Rainbow one already transmitted to Dr. Myuu's lab!" Giru said. "Where is she!?" Fluttershy demanded uncharacteristically. "Danger! Danger!" The robots said as they tried escaping. Applejack smashed her fists together. "It's an all you can eat buffet of beating down robots!" She said. "Then let's get them!" Goten yelled. *** In another place on M-2... There was German cackling. "What a splendid piece of artwork! Randomness is just my favorite! The expression, the emotion! Is captured so beautifully! You can almost feel and taste the pain that is etched on her face." A certain doctor said. Myuu. "A pitiful creature... Smile, as soon, you will be turned into a mutant." Myuu said, cackling. *** Gohan and Rilldo were still clashing... Until Gohan jumped back a few feet and aimed his fingers at his own face. "Solar Flare!" He yelled, unleashing that bright light. Rilldo was blinded! "Urgh! What!?" He yelled. Then, he was punched down into a mountain! All the rocks and broken rocks fell on him! Gohan moved to another location. Rilldo screamed, and destroyed all the debris on him with his yellow aura! "Now... Where is he?" He muttered, looking around. He was gone. "Kamehameha!" Gohan yelled from behind, unleashing the devastating blast on Rilldo. Rilldo was caught by surprise, and it was a direct hit! Screaming in pain as it hit him. BOOM! Now, the whole mountain blew up, and it was just a crater. "Is it over...?" Gohan muttered. 'Jeez, you've gotten a lot stronger than I thought. Your fighting is a lot sharper than last time!' Goku said. Gohan noticed the General from behind. 'Now is not the time, dad.' Gohan said. "I guess not. Hello again, General Rilldo." He said. Rilldo was pretty damaged... His cheek was kinda peeled off, so you could see the nuts and bolts. Same went for his shoulder and chest plate. "I'm really starting to dislike you, kid." Rilldo said. "As if I didn't hear that every time." Gohan said. "You guys have really tough skin. I'm impressed." He said. Rilldo grinned. More of the Sigma Force was coming. And he knew it. The two jumped down to the ground, in the forest. "You should quit the weak act. Just go full power already." Gohan said. "Hmph. I guess I'm not such a good actor." Rilldo said. The Sigma Force appeared behind Rilldo. "Again?" Gohan asked. They molted into Rilldo himself! Rilldo started powering up, fit with screams and a green tornado aura. 'That's not good. It's much more than I expected.' Gohan thought. 'But you're holding back too.' Goku said. 'Yeah, but that means going Super Saiyan 2.' Gohan said. "META RILLDO!" Rilldo screamed, and the aura died down. Gohan looked up in astonishment. "I don't like the look of this." He said. The smoke around Rilldo died down, revealing a new Rilldo... Meta Rilldo! https://img00.deviantart.net/be5d/i/2014/084/5/e/metal_rilldo_by_luigicuau10-d4g7nou.png He was fully healed! "Yes, what a rush! I've almost forgotten what it feels like! It's impossible for a race like yours to survive against our Mutant civilization!" Rilldo said. "Why not? Enlighten me. I'm holding back a great deal of my power against you." Gohan said. "You cannot beat us because you are a race of individuals! Each with his own selfish motives! We live for one purpose alone! Our energies are focused, and yours are scattered! We cooperate with one another, you do not! Your race is inferior, it must die!" Rilldo yelled. ... Gohan chuckled... No, no... Laughed. Why? "You honestly think we don't cooperate? Even robots have selfish motives. They all want to survive, just like we do." Gohan said. "Don't make me laugh by comparing your race to ours." Rilldo said. "How about I show you some of my full resolve?" Gohan said. "Hah! Like it'll go against the mighty Meta Rilldo!" Rilldo said, making his drill spin. Gohan made his aura flare for a split second, and with that, his hair changed and smoke formed. He was a Mastered Super Saiyan 2! Lightning sparks were all around him. You could see it past the smoke that died down. Gohan's face was a lot more serious. "Y-Your power level... It... It just octupled!" Rilldo said. "Hmph. And I thought you had a bug in your system. Let's go, General." Gohan said, getting into his fighting pose. Rilldo let out a war cry as he flew at Gohan, and Gohan charged at him as well. Stay tuned for the next episode of Dragon Ball Super! Wait a minute... Author's Note If you know the subliminal messages in here... Good for you. Also, if you know about Rilldo in general... You can realize a few things. Meta Rilldo - 13,000,000,000,000 Traveling Planet: Another Enemy Pt. 5Gohan and Rilldo were fighting. The rammed their heads into each other, then they both threw a punch at each other's punch, then Gohan kneed Rilldo in the stomach, then threw a blast at his face, which burned off a piece of his helmet, prompting Rilldo to fire his Metal Breath, which Gohan blasted in another direction. It hit the ground, and all the trees around it all turned to metal. Rilldo punched Gohan down to the metal land he created. Gohan landed safely, but Rilldo wasn't done. "Hyper Meta Rilldo Palm!" Rilldo yelled, aiming his palm at Gohan. "And here I was hoping you would try to find some different fighting techniques!" Gohan said. Rilldo's palm turned into a gigantic drill that kept growing in size! Gohan was able to hold it back with one hand, and Rilldo was being pushed back a ton. "What is this!?" Rilldo asked. "That's a pretty different technique, I take it back." Gohan said, using his free arm (right) to put two fingers to his forehead. Gohan teleported right behind Rilldo, and unleashed a ki blast on him! Rilldo was hurt and blinded by a smokescreen of sorts, and Gohan used that to his advantage. He kicked Rilldo up, then teleported behind him to perform a double axe handle, sending him right at the ground! Gohan wasn't done there, he threw a barrage of ki blasts right at Rilldo! Rilldo was getting a bit more pissed. He landed safely, and screamed, forming a barrier around him. But, that was clearly a bad idea, since Gohan's attacks destroyed it, and Rilldo was being hurt even more. He was sent flying across the land with more and more ki blasts, and it could be seen from miles away. Dear God, the land was just metal at this point. Rilldo's drill broke off, and his armor was just fucked. He still had that smirk on his face. Gohan landed nearby. "You're a lot stronger in your new form, but don't think I can't rise to anything new." He said. Rilldo just cackled. "What an unexpected pleasure... Quite interesting... This is the Super Saiyan power that Dr. Myuu was seeking?" He asked. "This is a Super Saiyan 2. And I can go even further beyond that. But don't think you'll be able to grasp it at all." Gohan said. "Oh, but my power can rise even more! Watch!" Rilldo said. He started laughing as wires started to appear from the ground. He held his arm to the side and it was encased in the wires. His armor was fully healed! Much to Gohan's surprise. Then, Rilldo's entire body was encased in Crystal. 'He's a lot stronger...!' Goku said. 'It's not that bad.' Gohan said. Then... Rilldo had a new look and a purple aura. He... Is Hyper Meta Rilldo! https://i.redditmedia.com/iH-kwaWXpdT7Zc8R1NwtoaK3gR6ErKitEU8lpUkzSv0.jpg?w=320&s=42b8baca170ef0700c5f621168dd2d95 The ground became encased in a shinier metal. Then, to Gohan's surprise, a bunch of metal poles started erupting from the ground. Gohan was caught in one of them, and they all turned into trees. It was a forest of metal trees, damn it! Rilldo grinned as he molted into the ground. The forest just grew bigger and bigger. *** The others were mass murdering all the robots in the building, slowly getting to a higher part of the tower. "They just never end, darn it!" Applejack yelled, hurling a robot corpse at a horde of Mutants. "You'd expect that from a planet full of metal, and they seem to have an infinite source with that General Rilldo!" Twilight said, using her magic to push them all back. "Don't worry, Giru knows you getting closer to friend!" Giru said, dodging all the Mutants. "Good!" Fluttershy said, blasting another Mutant. *** The trees were getting bigger, but Gohan escaped their wrath. One tree turned into Rilldo, who was charging at Gohan. "It seems you cannot fathom the full extent of my power!" He yelled as he fired his Metal Breath at Gohan. He narrowly dodged it. But the already metal trees were turned into molten metal. The molten metal flew up to trap Gohan and Rilldo. "Metal bending... You're a lot craftier than I expected." Gohan said. Rilldo laughed. "That's not all, you're done, Saiyan!" He yelled, pulling the metal all in. Gohan quickly used Instant Transmission to escape the trap. Rilldo just used the molten metal to keep him in the air. Then he molted back into the ground. "Have you put it together, yet, Saiyan? The mighty Meta Rilldo is not just a superior fighter, but a part of the very planet itself!" Rilldo said from the molten metal. "I can see that. And I know how to end you." Gohan said. 'But I need to get Rainbow Dash back to normal somehow...' He thought. "I can manipulate all the metal of M-2 at will! Everything here you see exists as a part of my body, and I have every intention of using it all to finish you off!" Rilldo yelled. He sent a giant molten ball at Gohan. Gohan made his aura flare to send the metal flying elsewhere. "I caught on to your control of the metal on this floating planet a while ago. And I don't want to deal with it." He said. Rilldo made all the molten metal fly up. *** Myuu cackled in his laboratory. He inspected Rainbow Dash. But, also watched the fight between Gohan and Rilldo. "The legendary Super Saiyan actually right here in front of me. This is one of the days that makes life worth living... I can finally get my revenge on the Saiyans that killed my brother 10 years ago... And the Saiyan race for killing off mine!" Myuu yelled. ... (Guess his brother and I will personally give you five imaginary dollars, or whatever currency you have converted from 5 USD.) "However... Rainbow Dash. I'm quite excited to take a look at your data!" Myuu said, cackling. "It is the Saiyan ferocity and human ferocity that amazes me. It is good that we have you contained... General Rilldo should be sending your seven other friends to me right now." He said. *** Gohan was trying to fight Rilldo... Gohan waited for him to appear with his body. And once he did... "There you are! Ha!" Gohan yelled, firing a single blast, making the Rilldo disintegrate. Gohan stood on a platform. The disintegrated metal just turned into Rilldo again. Gohan threw another blast at him! And he just melted again... He made the platform Gohan stood on into a giant hand that tried grabbing him, but to no avail. Gohan flew away, but not before metal pillars were sent at him. I mean thousands. 'You have to be kidding me!' Gohan thought. He started punching and kicking them all away! But they were too much, and formed a ball around Gohan. "See you in the next life, Super Saiyan!" Rilldo said, using his metal bending to send a giant molten but hard splash of metal into the ball, ramming into Gohan. He was rammed into the ground. Rilldo took his metal back and became a guy again. Gohan stood up, with his clothes rather tattered. But he showed no signs of tiredness or injury. "You're good." Gohan said. "Hah! You don't even realize it. The more you fight me, the more you will die! Until you rid this planet of all the metal it contains, I will always have a body to bring to the battle! Now, if you don't know, this is the part where you concede, and make the smart decision to hand yourself, and the other Saiyan and humans over to Dr. Myuu!" Rilldo said, cackling. 'I'm in a tight pickle... I could just blow up the planet, but that means killing Rainbow Dash.' Gohan thought. 'Then you need to confront Myuu head on and take Rainbow Dash back.' Goku said. 'With Rilldo on the scene, that's gonna be hard... I have to just put my hopes in everyone else as I hold Rilldo off. This guy has a weak spot somewhere else, I need to find it.' Gohan thought. 'I wonder what else this kid is hiding.' Rilldo asked. The two charged at each other with full aura! The impact of that put a giant crater in the planet! Gohan threw a fist, which Rilldo teleported to dodge. But, Gohan predicted his next move, and kicked Rilldo in the cheek! Rilldo retaliated by throwing a barrage of punches at Gohan! But Gohan dodged them all. Rilldo performed a double axe handle on Gohan, but he teleported behind Rilldo and kicked him square in the face! Sent Rilldo splashing into the water. But he emerged unexpectedly, kicking Gohan towards the city! Gohan landed in a building. Rilldo teleported to the scene, trying to find Gohan... The building happened to have a nine camera projector. 'Where did that Saiyan brat go...!?' Rilldo thought. "There's no use in hiding!" Rilldo yelled, firing a ki blast at rubble. That set the projector off, and there was a theatre movie playing of a wolfbat jumping an angel lady. Rilldo saw a silhouette of Gohan on the screen... And turned around. Only to be met with a powerful punch! Straight into that movie, fuck the fourth wall, yeah! Rilldo emerged, clearly enraged. Gohan couldn't help but laugh. "This is pretty funny from down here, Rilldo! You look just like the monster on the screen! Is he your twin brother?" He roasted. With Rilldo's position, it really looked like he was there. Enough about that, he was mad. He destroyed the projector with some ki, making Gohan jump away. Rilldo trailed him, throwing a punch that would miss. But, the next punch he threw sent Gohan through the building and into the next one! A mall, it seems. Gohan happened to land on two juice dispensers, which were pouring juice on Gohan's hair. 'Well, I'd complain, but it actually tastes good.' Gohan thought. 'Even I can taste it! Mmm!' Goku said. Rilldo burst through the wall. "I'm getting tired of playing around with you, boy!" He yelled. Gohan stood up. "Playing around? I'm just getting warmed up, Rilldo." He said. Rilldo was mad, and he was about to fire his Metal Breath again! But Gohan used the juice to his advantage, and blasted it at Rilldo, making him stop! But the breath got to the juice and the dispense. Rilldo was wiped himself off, but then Gohan was gone. "Hey!" Rilldo heard. "I'm over here!" Rilldo jumped down on the ground and stomped to where he heard the voice. "This way, shiny!" 'Thanks for the insults.' Gohan thought. 'Yep! I got trash can, tin foil, aluminum...' Goku went on. Rilldo was still looking around for Gohan. Gohan was actually on the outside window, standing on a pipe. A bad place to be, since his weight pulled it down and broke it. Rilldo rammed through the wall looking for him! Gone again. "So! Shall you hide like a coward!? Or fight like a Saiyan!? Or are they one of the same!? SHOW YOURSELF!" Rilldo screamed. He was kicked in the back of the head into a building! "It's called stealth!" Gohan yelled. "DAMN YOOOOU!" Rilldo screamed, destroying the building. "Someone's hotheaded." Gohan said. "AAAAAAHHHHHH!" Rilldo screamed. *** Myuu was about to start dissecting Rainbow Dash. "It's not a Saiyan, but it will do." He said. "Begin the molecular reconstruction operation, now!" Myuu demanded his Mutants. There was a saw, laser and many other surgical tools on the ceiling, about to go down on Rainbow Dash. "OH NO YOU DON'T!" Pinkie screamed, bursting through the wall! The rest of the Humane 7 and Goten came through as well, all ponied up and Super Saiyan 2. "That's our friend!" Fluttershy said. "That's right! Giru!" Giru said. "T2006... How dare you!" Myuu said. "Giru only helping!" Giru said, opening himself up a bit to show he has a machine gun and a missile. He fired the missile. Myuu screamed as the missile went straight for him! Some Mutants came to his aid. "Giru can reverse effects of metal!" Giru said, pulling out something that looks like a knife out of his chest. "Really? Then reverse our friend, please!" Rarity said. "Stop! I command you to stop!" Myuu said. "How dare you betray me!? I am your creator!" He said. "Betray? Myuu betray Giru! Giru help new friends!" Giru said. "W-What?" Myuu asked. "Dr. Myuu no friend of Giru! No friend! Enemy! Giru! Giru!" Giru said. "Yeah, you tell him Giru! Watch out Myuu! Before he calls you a meaniebutt!" Pinkie said. Giru pressed a red button on the knifelike object, and it sent a beam at Rainbow Dash. "I-It can't be... You were working with them the whole time!" Myuu said. It undid the effects of the metal breath! Rainbow Dash was normal again! "Huh...?" She asked as she got up. "Rainbow!" Fluttershy said. Rainbow Dash cracked her body. "My body feels like it's stiff..." She said. "Mission complete!" Sunset said. "Have General Rilldo report to this location at once!" Myuu said. "AND GET THEM!" He commanded. The Mutants all charged at the Humane 7 and Goten. "Well, no time for nappy!" Rainbow Dash said, jumping off her table. The eight all beat down the remaining Mutants with ease. Rarity was able to cut them and ram them into each other with her diamonds. Applejack was able to dissect them with her bare hands. Pinkie just made them malfunction as they looked at them. Rainbow Dash used her super speed to ram through them all. Twilight was using her magic to dissect them as well. Fluttershy and Goten were smashing their fists into the Mutants. Myuu tried escaping to some sort of room, but Rainbow Dash stepped in front of the entrance. "Sorry, doc. From what I heard from you, you have some secret stuff behind this door." She said. "Girls, Goten, and robot on our side, why don't you come up here and see what Dr. Myuu's been up to?" She asked. "He has a secret?" Goten asked. Rainbow Dash put her finger on the open button. "No! Please!" Myuu said, desperately lunging to Her arm. Too late. It was opened. Much to his horror. Apparently there was some sort of... Cell. What the hell is it? Why am I boring you with these extra words? Isn't obvious as to what the hell it actually is if you watched GT? Find out next time, on the next Dragon Ball Z! Wait... That's not right either! Author's Note Remember the thing when I said I'll give you five dollars? I think Imma change it to $2.50. Super Meta Rilldo - 23,000,000,000,000 Traveling Planet: Another Enemy Pt. 6'C-C-C-Combo!' Goku said. ...As Gohan performed a double axe handle on Rilldo. After performing a combination of sorts. 'I understand you get hyped, father. But this isn't enjoyable!' Gohan thought, throwing a ki blast at Rilldo. 'My cheers or fighting Rilldo?' Goku asked. Rilldo came flying back up at Gohan. 'Fighting. I haven't gotten peace so much recently.' Gohan thought as he dodged a fist. Gohan pummeled Rilldo in the stomach five times before uppercutting him. He trailed him, and punched him straight into another building! 'Huh. If I were in your shoes, I'd be excited at all the stuff you go through.' Goku said. Gohan added a powerful yellow blast to the mix, destroying the entire building. 'I can see that... I just wish you were here to handle all of it. I don't like playing hero nearly every day.' Gohan thought. Rilldo screamed and sent tons of molten metal at Gohan. Gohan threw two blasts at the metal to create an opening for him to travel through. Rilldo was through that hole. Gohan flew through it and punched him in the cheek, then put two hands to his chest before blasting him away. 'I know, you hate to fight.' Goku said. 'It's not that, I like it as a sport. It's just that I can't give up the parts I hate about it since there is too much evil.' Gohan thought as he flew towards Rilldo. *** Myuu was freaking the hell out. His secret was being exposed, damn it! There was a huge container with some sort of life form inside of it... There was a bridge to it. Atop tons of water. The group walked in. "S-Stop it! Don't get any closer!" Myuu yelled, walking closer to it. The others just let him through for some reason... "My Baby.... My Baby! I'm sorry! Please forgive me for allowing them to see you!" Myuu said. Damn. You could see a heartbeat in his back. "I did not want to expose you to the eyes of such filthy creatures before you attained your complete form!" Myuu said. He was limping to the thing. "This is getting weird." Pinkie whispered to Rainbow Dash. "I'm sorry, Baby! I know how long you've been waiting, how lonely it is to be in there!" Myuu said. He was crying on a computer now. "Uh... What's that thing in the water?" Goten asked. "That's not just water! It's a compound made to sustain bio mechanical- HOW DID YOU DO THAT!?" Twilight asked. "It looks like a robot baby!" Pinkie said. "His name is Baby! I've used a restructuring method not used on any other robot on this planet! When it's full grown, it will surpass you all!" Myuu said. "When Dr. Myuu's project completed, all other robots to be dismantled!" Giru said. "Then let's kill it before it makes babies!" Rainbow Dash said, aiming her palms at it. "Wait..." Goten said. "Technically, it's never done anything wrong... Doesn't it mean it has a right to life?" Goten, the conservative asked. "Listen, Goten." Rainbow Dash said. "This isn't about a right to life... It's about making a choice. A choice we all need to make. A choice between a terrible mistake that could ruin lives, and- Fuck it, I'm dropping the pretenses; We're aborting Baby!" She said. She fired a powerful yellow blast at Baby. BOOM! Smoke and everything. "No...! You can't!" Myuu said. "She just did." Goten said. "Baby...!" Myuu said in desperation. "YOU FOOLS! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!?" He screamed. ... "...My life's work... Thrown away in an instant..." Myuu sobbed, getting on his knees. "Please don't leave me... My only Baby..." He said. "I feel kind of bad..." Fluttershy said. "Yeah... But, we had to do it." Applejack said. The smoke died down... And... BOOM! Big yellow explosion! "W-What the heck!?" Goten asked. Myuu realized... He started to cry joyfully. "My Baby! I'm so happy! I knew you couldn't die that easily, your power is too large!" Myuu said. "What!?" Rainbow Dash asked. "You mean that thing's still alive!?" Rarity asked. "His power's growing...!" Goten said. "What?" Twilight asked. "You're kidding." Sunset said. "HEHEHEHYAH!" Baby scream laughed, releasing green sparks of powerful ki everywhere. Rarity acted on impulse and formed a diamond barrier around everyone. Well, not Myuu, he could go fuck himself. But it was too weak. Everyone was sent flying at the walls of the secret place! Fluttershy held Giru, at least. The blast died down, and Myuu was seen... Cut up, torn, and really messed up. He fell to his knees. The smoke was still there, and clanks could be heard. Goten was the first to open his eyes. Baby... Was crawling. https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/villains/images/2/24/InfantBaby.png/revision/latest?cb=20170226021218 "Everyone, watch out!" Goten said. Baby started screaming, and had a purple aura. 'Incredible...' Goten thought. "He's not even fully developed yet." Twilight said. Baby stood up and the aura grew bigger. Myuu managed to get up. "That's right, my Baby! You must become strong! You must rise up and destroy those who have disturbed you! Kill the Saiyans and the humans for dishonoring you!" He said. Baby stopped screaming, but the aura was still there. He looked at everyone individually. "Kill... Sai.... Yan?" Baby managed to say. "That's right, Baby, the Saiyans. Kill them all!" Myuu said. Baby looked up to Goten. And smiled...? "Saiyan....!" Baby said with a smile. He started to fly up. "Saiy...An! Kill!" Baby said. "Dust this bitch!" Rainbow Dash yelled, jumping out of her hole. "Right!" Everyone else but Giru said, jumping out. They all charged a yellow blast in their hands and fired at full power! Baby made his aura flare even more and screamed! ... ...But it didn't move the ki blasts away. Instead, they all penetrated him! And he exploded. Now there was no Baby in the sky. A small remnant fell to Myuu. "No...! Baby!" Myuu said. "No danger detected. Giru!" Giru said. "Now I understand the true nature of Saiyans and Humans... Kill my brother, Lychee... And then my only Baby..." Myuu said, standing up. He pressed a button on his chest. A giant space shuttle appeared from the water! Myuu limped towards it... And the remnant of Baby slid into his foot. "That's a spaceship!" Twilight said. Myuu entered it, and it closed. "No!" Fluttershy said. The ship started to shake the land around them. "Hey! Don't leave!" Rainbow Dash yelled, firing a yellow blast at the ship. Didn't even faze it. It flew off into the sky! It broke through the tower! "Dang it! He got away!" Pinkie said. "It shouldn't be a problem... With Baby dead, he can't possibly rule the universe." Twilight said. "I wonder who this 'Lychee' character is. Gohan never told me about him... But he did tell me about Santa!" Goten said. "Let's get to Gohan. We can get off this planet... Unless he hasn't finished Rilldo off." Sunset said. Then Gohan conveniently happened to teleport into the room. "Speak of the devil." Sunset said. "What happened to Rilldo?" Pinkie asked. "Well, I left. And now he's confused." Gohan said. *** "WHERE THE HELL IS THAT SAIYAN, DAMN IT!?" *** "He can't die unless we rid the entire planet of metal. Since Rainbow is back to normal..." Gohan said. "We can destroy the planet?" Rarity asked. "More like me, since you guys can't hold a candle to Rilldo." Gohan said. "Good enough." Sunset said. *** The Humane 7 and the Saiyans and the robot were on Equestria once more. "Say goodbye, M-2!" Gohan yelled, charging a Kamehameha in his palms. "Kamehameha!" He yelled, unleashing the biggest one yet. It made it's way to M-2 and... Poof. Rilldo's dead. "What just happened? Why'd you blow it up?" Spike asked. "Giru! Giru! Evil!" Giru said. "And what the heck is this thing!?" Spike asked. "That reminds me..." Twilight said. "Uh oh." Rainbow Dash said. Twilight grabbed Giru. "What are you made of!? What's your processor!? What do you live off of!?..." Twilight went on. She kept going. Giru was actually sweating bullets (somehow) as he tried to escape. "You know, that is an interesting piece of technology, but I don't think we should be so interested in it since we just got off a planet I just blew up." Gohan said, reverting back to base form. "Wow! It really is a mouthful when you say it all at once!" Pinkie said. "Well, at least we stopped a guy wanting to rule the universe... And we all pitched in this time." Sunset said, wrapping an arm around Gohan. 'She's as affectionate as Chi Chi was!' Goku said. 'I kinda like it.' Gohan said, 'Good.' Sunset said. 'Thought I learned the last time to comment about women in front of them.' Goku said. 'What happened?' Gohan asked. 'Chi Chi and Bulma.' Goku said. 'Oh.' Gohan said. 'Wait, I'm still confused.' Sunset said. "If you two are done flirting by making faces, we have a picnic to finish up." Rainbow Dash said. "We're speaking, hold on." Gohan said. "You two aren't saying a word." Goten said. 'What do you think about a platonic shower?' Goku asked. 'Whoa!' Gohan said. 'Goku!' Sunset said. 'What? Gohan and I did it all the time! Well, before the whole Cell Games thing.' Goku said. 'Yeah, but... This is different!' Gohan said. 'Too young!' Sunset said. 'How the heck do you know what that word means?' Gohan asked. 'I sometimes watch you. Like the time you studied yesterday.' Goku said. 'And that's Gohan and I's relationship in a nutshell.' Sunset said. 'It's purely platonic.' Gohan said. 'Then what do you call putting your mouth to each other's mouths?' Goku asked. "We lost them again." Rarity said. "Giru! Giru! Detect strange energy!" Giru said. "How do you function?" Twilight asked. "How old are you!?" Fluttershy asked. 'That's just kissing.' Sunset said. 'What is this 'kissing' you speak of?' Goku asked. 'DAMN IT, GOKU!' Sunset said. 'I can't believe we're talking about us kissing with my dad.' Gohan said. 'That reminds me... I wonder where my dad is.' Goku said. 'Dead.' They all said. 'How'd you guess?' Goku asked. 'That's the case with us!' Gohan and Sunset said. Then they double taked for a moment. 'How come I've never heard of this?' Gohan asked. 'Hey, I'm not as hardened as you on the topic.' Sunset said. 'Okay, this has officially gone way off topic.' Goku said. 'Says the guy who brought up a platonic shower.' Sunset said. "Hey!" Goten yelled, throwing a water bottle at Gohan's head. "Ow! Hey!" Gohan said, rubbing his head. "You two keep spacing out!" Goten said. "We're having a moment!" Sunset said. 'About platonic showers.' Gohan thought. "I heard that!" Sunset said. 'Please don't murder me, I can't fight back.' Gohan thought, holding his hands up. "Heard what?" Pinkie asked. "She can hear my thoughts when she touches me." Gohan said. 'And mine, apparently!' Goku said. "And my dad's." Gohan said. "But I'm not gonna murder ya!" Sunset said, rubbing Gohan's hair. "Thank green god." Gohan said. "Well, to put an end to it, at least there won't be any more Dr. Myuu we have to deal with!" Pinkie said. "Yep!" Gohan said. *** In Myuu's ship... "Saiyans... Humans... Disgusting creatures! They've ruined my entire operation to conquer the entire galaxy! Though I'm not the one to give up after a few setbacks. I'll learn from my mistakes, and reign over every pathetic mortal in the universe! And then my Baby will be reborn!" Myuu said. He limped away from the computer. "My Baby... Every time I think of you, you make me..." Myuu said, slowly gaining a high pitched voice. "WANT TO EXPLODE!" He yelled, grabbing his throat. Myuu looked like he was gonna vomit, then Baby burst out of his back! And Myuu died. "You fool..." Baby said. He put a hand on Myuu's head. "You have no idea who the boss is, do you? You are nothing but a simple machine Mutant, for it was I who programmed YOU to gather the energy needed for my resurrection! Yet you had no idea! You feeble shell of a machine. Your time on this planet is OVER!" Baby yelled, smashed his hand into Myuu's lifeless head. Oil and parts flew everywhere. "But my time is just beginning..." Baby said. "I'm afraid not." A voice came from behind. "Huh? What!? Who are you?" Baby asked. "Your time is coming to an abrupt end. I know I do not belong here, in this time, but you should be able to rest easy because of this." This mysterious man said, aiming his palm at Baby. "W-What!?" Baby asked. Purple blast straight into Baby! Destroyed the entire ship. And Baby wholly, too. However, this said man was suffocating. But he just disappeared in an instant. Who the hell was that? Is he gonna appear in the future? Obviously. But he is/isn't the same guy who killed Gohan's family... I'll leave you to ponder about what the hell that means. Okay, Season 7 is next. No more bullshit. Author's Note Okay, I know you probably wanted Baby to appear as a long villain, but it's not great. I mean, it would be interesting to see the Humane 7 betray Gohan or something. But I can't really give a good character for Baby to possess to give Gohan a real hard time because I overpowered him. GT Characters are pretty OP in base form, which is why Vegeta was so pumped up from Baby. Also because I'm kinda lazy to draw the character he possesses entirely. Buuuuuut I wanted to add foreshadowing for some of the later chapters. There's one other reason why I didn't do Baby but I'll reveal it later. Although I have a lot of Season 7 down, it still might take a while to actually get it up. Mainly because I want it to be the best since *spoilers*. Okay, see you. Season 7Season 7, the final one, as sad as I am to say, is happening. You know what that means, correct? (It's mainly because of the MLP Movie but also because of Season 8 not ending anytime soon.) (But I won't let this end one way or another... Maybe. The ending of this story won't mean it ends... If you know what I'm saying.) (It's continuing with these characters, damn it.) Goten was praised alongside the other four for stopping Queen Chrysalis. *** The room was filled with ponies and changelings. All celebrating their heroes! The five who stopped Chrysalis were up with Twilight, Celestia Gohan and Luna. "Goten, Starlight, Trixie, Thorax, and Discord were brave in the face of danger, resourceful when things got challenging, and proved that the bonds of friendship, no matter how unlikely, are stronger than any adversity. By stopping Queen Chrysalis, not only did they save Equestria; Possibly the entire universe; they set the changelings free from her reign." Twilight said. Then Discord teleported into the audience as a fan... Of himself... As himself. "Go, Discord! Yahoo!" He yelled. Starlight giggled at that. "And that's why we're proud and honored to give them the Equestrian Pink Hearts of Courage!" Celestia said. Everyone cheered. Luna took the Pink Hearts and placed them upon the heroes' necks. 'I wish I was here for whatever happened.' Goku said. 'It was all set up by me... Or, some of it, actually.' Gohan said. 'What? How?' Goku asked. 'I wanted Goten to go Super Saiyan 2. Needless to say, he got it. I tricked Queen Chrysalis into thinking I was under a spell she cast.' Gohan said. 'Oh. Tell Goten I'm proud anyway.' Goku said. 'Also, I have a question about your Super Saiyan 2.' He added. 'Yes?' Gohan asked. 'It feels a lot stronger than usual. What did you do?' Goku asked. 'I mastered it while training with the Supreme Kai. Turns out it could go 4 times as strong as usual.' Gohan said. 'Wow! I was really expecting you to be a lot more lax in your training. Or even hold off on it for years. But you really surprised me!' Goku said. 'Thanks.' Gohan said. Luna was struggling to put it on Thorax, because of his newfound horns. Pinkie was talking throughout the ordeal... "Yeah! Oh. Uh, no. Not quite. Uh... all right. There it is!" She said as it was finally put on. "We are so proud of you all!" Twilight said. *** Goku made an appearance in Twilight's castle... With his two sons there. *** In the throne room... "You said you wanted us to meet who!?" Applejack asked. "How is that even possible? I mean, I thought the last time was the last time!" Twilight said. "Gohan and Goten's father is coming?" Starlight asked. "Alright! We get to see him again!" Rainbow Dash said. "He's actually been here for a while..." Gohan said. "What?" Twilight asked. Gohan held out his pendant. "Come on out, Dad." He said. This was planned, by the way. From it, emerged many white sparkles. Everyone looked away from the table towards the library. In front of the passage... Goku came! "Hey! Long time no see, guys!" He said. "Son Goku!?" Rarity asked. "Why are you on Gohan's chest?" Spike asked. "What happened to you?" Rainbow Dash asked. "I've managed to live through Gohan. Eventually, when he got that necklace, I was able to get stuck in it!" Goku said. "Well, you must be very proud of your son..." Starlight said. "I am! Though... I don't remember you." Goku said, pointing at Starlight. "That's because she's new here! My student, Starlight Glimmer!" Twilight said. "Ohh. Okay. It's nice to meet you!" Goku said. "Hey dad! Can you tell me about Great Grandpa Gohan?" Goten asked. "How do you even know about him?" Gohan asked. "He's the reason Gohan is named the way he is! He took me in when I was just a baby. But, he suddenly disappeared, leaving the four star dragon ball with me." Goku said. He knows how he died, just won't go into detail... "Anyway, I just really wanted to thank you all for taking care of my sons." Goku said. "Oh, it's nothing! He keeps Equestria safe in return." Twilight said. "Yeah, he just prevented the destruction of a planet a few days ago." Goku said. "And he does plenty of farm work down at Sweet Apple Acres." Applejack said. "He beat Tirek!" Pinkie said. "He's my niece's godfather, he beat the evil version of Sunset Shimmer, who turned good, helped us beat the Sirens, my doppelgänger when she was consumed by magic... I don't know about anything else on the other side." Twilight said. "Hirudegarn, Rilldo and Gaea Everfree!" Goten said. "How did you know about the third one?" Gohan asked. "What's this Rilldo?" Twilight asked. "I was at the picnics. They told me!" Goten said. "I thought he'd give up training and get so weak that he looked like he hasn't trained a day in his life." Goku said. That happened... In the Frieza arc of Super. "You mean like a regular nerd?" Rainbow Dash asked. "I don't know." Goku said. "You mean like me?" Twilight asked. "I guess. Your physical strength is terrible, but your magical strength is pretty awesome! Wait... You look different... I don't remember you having wings." Goku said. "She's an alicorn!" Rarity said. "The Princess of Friendship!" Spike said. "Oh. Sounds incredibly low balled for your potential..." Goku said. "What?" Twilight asked. "Nevermind. Goten, I heard you went Super Saiyan 2! Come here!" Goku said, getting on one knee. "Yay!" Goten said, running at Goku with his arms sticking out the sides. The hug was touching. And Goku put Goten on his shoulder while standing up. "Aw..." Everyone said. "Hey daddy, I haven't fought you yet!" Goten said. "Oh." The Mane 6 and Starlight and Spike said. "I only have so much time, so I have to go back into the necklace soon." Goku said. "Oh. Really...?" Gohan asked. "Broly." Goku said. "Oh." Gohan said. "It hurts." Goku said. "What hurts?" Applejack asked. "My entire body." Goku said. "Uh..." The Mane 6 all said. "Okay, now, I don't want to randomly disappear in the middle of a sentence." Goku said, putting Goten down. "We were glad to see you again!" Pinkie said. "Thanks! See ya!" Goku said, saluting and turning into white sparkles. "Oh, and I'm really b-" Then he went back into the pendant. "Well... That was surprising." Applejack said. "I wonder how he feels to be cooped up in that necklace..." Fluttershy said. "I bet it's real boring for him." Rainbow Dash said. 'It really is, training all by myself.' Goku said. "Confirmed." Gohan said. *** And in one of Twilight's fantasies for Starlight's future... She was put under Gohan's tutelage. She tried. *** "Tell me why you decided to add 'Gohan's Student' fantasy to this?" Spike asked. "He's one of the chairmen for Friendship! Although he's a teen, and... Well, his temper soars at this age." Twilight said. "But it only soars when something bad happens." Spike said. "Or if something happens to his girlfriend..." Twilight said with a smirk. "What? No way." Spike said. "He does!" Twilight said, giggling and squealing. "Who? Is it a human?" Spike asked. "Its Sunset Shimmer!" Twilight said. "Really, now?" Celestia asked with a smile. "Huh? That was the last person I'd expect him to want to be with." Spike said. "Well, they're trying because Sunset initiated it." Twilight said. "And...?" Spike asked. "Gohan's apparently really excited about it and wants to continue." Twilight said. "Wait, why would Sunset Shimmer like him?" Spike asked. "You could look at the messages she sent me about it. It was because he charmed her without even realizing it." Twilight said. "Did he do something romantic with her or something?" Spike asked. "Well, a week after they got together, someone hurt her and Gohan went berserk on them." Twilight said. "I would really like to see this the next time we go." Spike said. "I'd love to keep talking about Gohan's love life, but back to the point at hand. Gohan already has nine students under his tutelage. Another one couldn't stress him out." Celestia said. *** Starlight was in a gi similar in fashion to Gohan's. Mainly because she asked for it, but, whatever. Starlight was powered up, very immensely. "Why is she much stronger than you?" Spike asked. "Sunset Shimmer turned out to be stronger than us, so anything's possible!" Twilight said. "I don't think that's how it worked, Twilight." Celestia said. "Oh well, let's roll!" Twilight said. "Alright Starlight, relinquish upon me your maximum output of strength possible!" Gohan said. "Yeah, definitely a Twilight fantasy." Spike said. Starlight turned Super Saiyan. "Okay, no." Spike said. "What?" Twilight asked. "I recall that only Saiyans can turn Super Saiyan, Twilight." Celestia said. "Hence the name inside it?" Spike asked. Twilight reversed that... "Alright Starlight, show me your maximum output of strength!" Gohan said. Starlight casually threw a forehoof at Gohan and smashed him threw three mountains! "Okay, that's not realistic either." Spike said. "This may not be a good idea. I can't map it out." Twilight said. *** A training session, or rather, a sparring session between the Saiyans and the Equestria Girls' new magic went well. *** Well, in front of the portal, as usual, were the nine. Gohan was in the Piccolo gi, while Goten didn't have his blue sleeves shirt. Just wristbands. "You heard about our sparring session...?" Gohan asked. "Well, I kinda saw some of it." Rainbow Dash said. "And it was a lot of fun." Sunset said. "You sparred with her? Ooh! Was she strong?" Goten asked. "Well, yeah, she was pretty strong... It sounds fun." Gohan said. "I can't believe after all this time, I would actually be excited for a little brawl." Rarity said. "Yeah, you're getting all excited about getting dirty." Applejack said. "Hey!" Rarity said. Applejack snickered. "Well, as long as we don't kill each other or come close, then we can do it." Gohan said. "Alright! I call fighting Gohan!" Rainbow Dash said. "Hey! I wanted to throw sprinkles at Gohan first!" Pinkie said. "N-Now hold on a second here! Goten's here too, you know." Gohan said. "I wanna fight!" Goten said. "I have an idea. Sunset Shimmer, do you know any wastelands around here?" Twilight asked. "Why are you asking me?" Sunset asked. "You know why." Twilight said. Sunset sighed. "100 miles. Northeast. Kinda nice." She said. "Then it's a date!" Pinkie said. "I could think of worse places. Rock formations... Neat cacti..." Sunset said. "Why did she ask you?" Gohan asked. "She tends to go to wastelands a lot." Fluttershy said. "For what purpose...?" Gohan asked. "Practice..." Sunset said. "Oh. That would make sense." Gohan said. *** Well, wasteland full of nothing but land. "Rock! I win!" Rainbow Dash said. "That's not fair! You didn't say 'Saisho!'" Pinkie said. "I did too!" Rainbow Dash said. "Er... Rainbow Dash won, the Saisho part doesn't matter." Gohan said. "Cool! I get to fight Gohan!" Rainbow Dash said. "I suppose the next person who wins fights Goten...?" Rarity said. "Yep! But let's watch the fight, I wanna see the speed!" Goten said. "Alright!" Rainbow Dash said, ponying up. (Regular wings.) "Okay... Good luck." Gohan said, jumping quite the distance away. "You're gonna need it this time!" Rainbow Dash yelled, pointing a finger at Gohan. 'Is she faster?' Sunset thought. Rainbow Dash sidestepped a little distance. Gohan bowed to Rainbow Dash before getting into his fighting pose. "You better be ready!" Rainbow Dash said. Gohan waited for her to approach. She was gonna do it, obviously. But timing was key. He never tested her speed for himself... ... A quick trail of rainbows were charging straight at Gohan! 'That's fast!' He thought right before dodging a hook punch. There was quite the gust of wind from such a dodge. Gohan rolled underneath her arm and (technically) roundhouse kicked her leg. She tripped backwards. But, she acted on instinct and flew up! Leaving yet another trail of rainbow behind. She dove down back at Gohan! He blocked a knee with his arm! Rainbow Dash flew back and did a backflip for style before landing and dashing at him again. Now it was an all out brawl. The two were flying all over the place. Jumping from one place to the next, leaving trails of big rainbows and small orange. "Jeez... I didn't think fights could go that fast." Applejack said. "Wow... I wonder if she's keeping Gohan on his toes." Fluttershy said. "Probably not." Sunset said. "And how would you know!?" Pinkie asked comedically. By that, I mean she grabbed Sunset's shirt and yelled into her face. "I'm not sure if Rainbow Dash is many times faster than light. We can see her very well." Sunset said, getting Pinkie off her. "Plus, We can barely see what Gohan leaves behind at this point. She's trailing him, actually!" Twilight said. It's true, he was being chased. "Is he even attackin'?" Applejack asked. "Doesn't look like it." Goten said. "It's pretty hard to keep track of all of it." Twilight said. "Wait... Are you struggling to see them?" Goten asked. "Pretty much, yeah." Pinkie said. "Well, you're gonna have a lot more trouble when they start getting serious." Goten said. Rainbow Dash was still throwing barrages of punches and kicks. Gohan kept dodging and blocking. "Why won't you fight back yet?" Rainbow Dash asked in between punches. "You're not getting serious either." Gohan said, swatting a kick away. Rainbow Dash ended her assault and jumped back. "How'd you know?" She asked. "You're not using your full power." Gohan said. "Then I won't hold back now!" Rainbow Dash said, grabbing her necklace. It created a gust of wind, and glowed blue for a second. "Even faster, I see." Gohan said. "You bet!" Rainbow Dash said, flying at him. Gohan jumped at her, and the two threw a punch. The clash of fists made a small shockwave. Gohan then did an underside roundhouse kick, while Rainbow Dash threw another punch. Gohan's attack overpowered her's, and it kicked her fist away. She used her momentum to to her own roundhouse. Gohan blocked with his arm and threw a punch. Rainbow Dash managed to cross her arms and block. The two kept exchanging blows like that. "Kick! Uppercut! Hook! Go Dashie!" Pinkie cheered. "She didn't do two thirds of what you just said." Twilight said. "And Gohan seems to be holding back on his attacks." Rarity said. "He's stronger than all of us combined, of course he is!" Goten said. "Eh, I guess you're right." Rarity said. Rainbow Dash threw a hook punch, but Gohan jumped up, leaving some debris behind. "How are you keeping up!?" Rainbow Dash asked, trailing him. "Yeah... Didn't Rainbow just unleash her full speed?" Twilight asked. "She may be a few times faster... But Gohan's still in a different league." Goten said. "...You aliens got the good treatment." Twilight said. "If you call mass destruction of it 'good treatment,' I'll disagree with you." Sunset said. The two started parrying with punches. Gohan eventually landed a kick in her side. It spun her around, making her face the other direction. He performed a weak double axe handle on her back, sending her flying at the ground. Rainbow Dash was able to recover, using a double ki blast to blast herself back up to Gohan. She landed a dropkick to his cheek. Gohan recoiled backwards. Rainbow Dash went for the stylish combo. She instantly flew around and elbowed him in the back. He was sent flying down to the ground. She trailed him yet again. She was about to land yet another punch before... Gohan caught her fist with his thighs. Rarity and Pinkie giggled. "What's funny?" Fluttershy asked. "S-Stop laughing!" Sunset said. "You never got that close, did ya?" Applejack joked. 'I try.' Sunset thought. "I am going to kill you." Sunset said grimly. "What's she talking about?" Goten asked. "You don't want to know, Goten. It's a private thing." Sunset said. "Hah! Pri-" Pinkie said, before Sunset covered her mouth. Back to the fight... "Urgh... What the!?" Rainbow Dash asked before Gohan hurled her down to the ground. She landed on all fours. Gohan was coming down at her with a knee! Rainbow Dash managed to roll to the side fast enough to dodge. He left quite the hole in the ground from that She kicked off the ground to charge at him. She punched him right in the cheek. His knee was out of the hole now. Rainbow Dash wasn't done yet, she went full throttle. It was a full on assault of punches and kicks. One in the stomach, next in the chest, next in the face, a kick to his hip, a punch in the cheek and so forth. It kept going on. "She's beating him!" Pinkie said. "Rainbow's doing a good job..." Fluttershy said. Sunset didn't overreact, or react at all. She knew he was pulling everyone's leg. Eventually, Rainbow Dash grabbed his face and smashed it into the ground! Getting a few gasps from the audience. Rainbow Dash aimed her palms at Gohan at point blank range. "Energy Wave Combo!" She yelled, firing tons of ki blasts. Each ki blast added made the explosion bigger. She fired about ten times before tiring out. She panted. "Wow. I wonder if he's hurt." Pinkie said. Sunset saw something in the corner of her eye. "I don't think he was hurt that much... Maybe at all." She said. "What are you saying? He was shot at point blank!" Twilight said. Gohan was walking up to Rainbow Dash with her back turned. And then everyone noticed. "Oh. I see." Twilight said. He aimed his palm at her and fired a weak ki blast. She turned around in surprise. "What? How did you...?" Rainbow Dash asked. "It's a secret. Now..." Gohan said, getting into his fighting pose. "Let's continue." He said. Rainbow Dash reluctantly got into her own fighting pose. This was tiring her. Gohan charged at her! 'Faster than before!?' She thought. ...Right before she felt a pain in her stomach. He punched her stomach. Gohan jumped up and kicked her to the side. Rainbow Dash recovered and jumped backwards. Gohan trailed her, putting on the pressure. He started throwing barrages and barrages of punches at her, keeping her at bay. She had to keep blocking with crossed arms. 'This guy's nuts! Just a second ago I was beating him, and he's going around like it's nothing! I'm at my limit!' Rainbow Dash thought. "Now Gohan's on the offensive." Rarity said. "Man, he seems like he didn't take any damage." Pinkie said. "Wow." Fluttershy said. Gohan surprised Rainbow Dash with a kick to the shin. Weak, not strong. It still hurt like hell. She practically tripped over by that. Gohan punched her in the cheek lightly away. He trailed her. Rainbow Dash acted quickly, using her hands and feet to stop her momentum. Leaving debris. She fired a weak ki blast at his head, which put on some smoke. He stopped. She maneuvered some distance away, panting. 'Dang. He's hard to get ahead of.' She thought. Gohan used his aura to clear the smoke. "You're pretty good!" He said. "Thanks... Hah... You're too good... Hah... Hah..." Rainbow Dash panted. "I think I'm done." She said. "Oh. You did amazing." Gohan said. "Heh, thanks." Rainbow Dash said. "Looks like she gave up." Sunset said. "Yep." Twilight said. Rainbow Dash ponied down. "Good match." She said with a grin. "Same to you." Gohan said. *** "Five points I win!" Pinkie said. "Er... What?" Rarity asked. "You lost, Pinkie. In fact- Applejack was the one who won!" Twilight said. "Oh. Right." Pinkie said. "I get to fight Applejack!" Goten said. "I can't believe we're actually playing Rock Paper Scissors just to fight two boys younger than us simultaneously." Twilight said. "Does everyone here actually want to spar?" Gohan asked. "Yep!" Rainbow Dash said. "Totally!" Pinkie said. "Yeah." Applejack said. "Absolutely." Rarity said. "I do. I did." Sunset said. "Although it's unusual, yes." Twilight said. "I-I do." Fluttershy said. "That's a surprise." Gohan said. "In what regard...?" Rarity asked. "I wouldn't expect Twilight, Fluttershy and Rarity actually wanting to fight." Gohan said. "W-Well, as long as everyone stays clean..." Fluttershy said. "Yeah... Gohan's right." Twilight said. "I would've never imagined me wanting to risk getting my wardrobe dirty." Rarity said. "And I would've never imagined me getting excited about physical exercise." Twilight said. "And I would've never imagined me fighting either..." Fluttershy said. "I would've never imagined the three of you actually wanting to fight." Sunset said. "She's got a point." Applejack said. "Anyway, battle time!" Goten said, jumping to a point in the battlefield. "Welp, he's excited." Applejack said, walking to a point away from the bystanders. "Go Applejack!" Pinkie cheered. "I hope I can actually hold a candle to him." Applejack said. "I assure you, Applejack can give Goten a run for his money... In a sense." Gohan said. "You think so?" Sunset asked. "It all depends on how they fight. If they adapt quickly, it depends on who adapts the fastest." Gohan said. "You think she can rival him at Super Saiyan?" Rarity asked. "Huh? Oh, no. Not by much, at least." Gohan said. "Oh." Everyone said. Goten and Applejack stared each other down. "Don't be holding back on me, now! I can handle myself." Applejack said, ponying up and using her necklace. Goten turned Super Saiyan. "Can't beat you without this." He said. "Goten can't beat her without it?" Twilight asked. "Your necklaces gave you a hefty boost. Goten was surpassed in his base form." Gohan said. "That... Is actually really cool!" Fluttershy said. "Amazing! I never thought we could achieve such power..." Rarity said. "I mean, that Rilldo was bad enough that it was useless." Sunset said. "Why'd you have to kill it." Pinkie said. Goten and Applejack jumped at each other! "It's starting! Where's the popcorn?" Pinkie asked, reaching into her hair. "None of us brought popcorn." Rainbow Dash said. Pinkie pulled a box of popcorn out of her hair. "There it is!" She said. "...I stand corrected." Rainbow Dash said. The two's arms clashed. Applejack threw a kick at Goten. Goten used his smaller size to his overwhelming advantage. By flying back and upwards a few feet to narrowly avoid her kick hitting his legs. He dove back in, throwing a punch. Applejack actually caught his fist. "Gotcha now, you little rugrat!" She said with a grin. She grabbed the arm with two hands and swung him around. Eventually she tossed him... And he disappeared. 'Urk! I have to stay on guard... All my vital areas!' Applejack thought, looking around. Goten rammed into her chest! She was pushed back a few feet, and jumped back at him. He teleported behind her and threw a ki blast at her back. Goten then charged at her again and threw a punch! But... Applejack instantly turned around and grabbed his fist. "Gotcha now!" She said. "Not this time!" Goten said as he smashed his fist into her hand. Applejack spasmed for a moment, but she regained her composure. "That ain't gonna work on me!" She said as she grabbed his arm with her other arm. "Well, she has him now." Rarity said. She hurled Goten over her shoulder into the ground! Well, lots of rocks flew everywhere. Pinkie whined. "I can't wait anymore! This is just too exciting!" She said. "You can spar with each other, I suppose." Gohan said. "I'm out. I've had my share of training." Rainbow Dash said. "I suppose we can fight." Rarity told Sunset. "Me and you...?" Fluttershy asked Twilight. "Sure." Twilight said. "Then... Who will Pinkie-" Gohan said before someone punched him in the cheek all the way into a rock formation. "You, silly!" Pinkie said, already ponied up. ... "...Well, that was a nice sneak attack." Sunset said. 'I have got to try that somehow.' She thought. Gohan got up from the rubble. He sighed. "I guess I'm fighting again already." He said. Applejack was distracted by a really big distraction. "Why did Pinkie just...?" She asked. Then a kick came to the back of her head. 'He got behind me... Huh.' She thought as she turned around. Goten was NOT there. But, regardless... She grinned. Applejack turned around and threw a punch! Her's clashed with Goten's. The two grinned at each other. Right before they started to clash with all sorts of punches and kicks. "Well, Rarity?" Sunset asked, ponying up. "Already one step ahead of you." Rarity said, already ponied up. Sunset grinned as she threw a punch! Twilight and Fluttershy haven't even started yet. "So, uh... D-Do you want to start?" Fluttershy asked. "I have a feeling we both don't have an understanding of this." Twilight said. *** Rarity and Sunset were clashing in the air and rising. "Sunset, your new wardrobe is absolutely imperative if you want to impress him!" Rarity said as she blocked one of Sunset's punches with a giant diamond. She gained some distance. "Are you seriously giving me dating advice while we spar!?" Sunset asked as she tried to figure out a way to get through. "You can learn lessons everywhere, Sunset!" Rarity said, sending another diamond Sunset's way. 'There!' Sunset thought, flying into that diamond. She phased through it, confusing Rarity. Sunset was behind Rarity, and fired a powerful yellow blast from behind! The diamonds disappeared as a result. Rarity turned around and held a diamond out as she charged at Sunset. Sunset jumped up in an attempt to avoid it. But, Rarity planned this. She used the diamond she was holding out and put it under her as a sort of hover board. She aimed her palm at Sunset again as she flew at her and created another diamond. "When did you learn this!?" Sunset asked as she braced for impact. "Practice, my dear friend!" Rarity said. *** Gohan and Pinkie were kinda going at it. They were clashing with fists and kicks. "So, what did you come up with?" Gohan asked as he swatted away a kick and a punch. "Well,- Unh!" Pinkie yelped as she narrowly dodged a punch. "I- Eek!" She yelped as she narrowly dodged another punch. She was back on the offensive with him. "I think you'll find this to be the bomb!" She said. Now, she pushed so that they started fighting and moving around in a pattern. Like some sort of uneven forty nine sided figure. Some dust or something was falling from Pinkie's pocket. They were multi colored, so... Sprinkles? Also, it seems like her punches left a little residue. Jeez, does she even wash her hands? Then again, she keeps God knows how old popcorn in her hair... Pinkie managed to drag that on for a while. Eventually she jumped back into the air and threw many ki blasts. Gohan blocked, creating a smokescreen of sorts. It died down and Pinkie was in the air. "Are you done?" Gohan asked. "The fun is just beginning!" Pinkie said, clapping her hands together. Some pink glows could be seen around Gohan. In the air. "What the-" Gohan said right before they blew up! Smoke everywhere. 'And then...' Pinkie thought. Gohan sidestepped out of the smoke. "Whoa! That's a pretty sneaky attack!" He said with a smile. "That's just the beginning!" Pinkie said. Then, some parts of the ground around Gohan started to glow. 'She planted mines all around the place...' He thought. They blew up! 'And now...' Pinkie thought. "You can't get me the second time!" Gohan said from behind. Pinkie looked over her shoulder in shock. "What!?" She asked right before Gohan performed a double axe handle on her. *** Fluttershy and Twilight were fighting. They were clashing with fists and kicks. Fluttershy eventually punched Twilight in the stomach and kicked her away. Twilight had a hard landing, sliding across the ground. Fluttershy, being true to herself, gasped. "Are you okay!?" She asked. Twilight instantly got up. "Of course I am!" She said. "This is not something you ask in a fight unless you really almost kill someone." She said. "Oh. Okay... L-Let's continue!" Fluttershy said. Fluttershy dashed at Twilight, but was suddenly engulfed in purple magic and couldn't move! She struggled to move. "I have a feeling this feels like a cheat." Twilight said. "N...No... I can... Win!" Fluttershy said, struggling to move. Her hand was suddenly moving jittery. "W-What!?" Twilight asked, trying to restrain her. "RAH!" Fluttershy uncharacteristically yelled as she managed to slowly but surely walk towards Twilight. Twilight was sweating, and her glasses began to fall a bit. She fixed them. Fluttershy made her pink aura flare and burst free of Twilight's grasp. Twilight felt a bit mindfucked, and grabbed her head in pain. She groaned. Fluttershy ran at her. "Here we go!" She said, throwing a punch. Twilight barely blocked with her arm. "I can still fight!" She said. The two started to clash again. But, in the middle, Fluttershy threw a punch! Then... Some purple magic slowed it down. It was just barely in front of Twilight's face. "What!?" Fluttershy asked before Twilight punched her away, removing the magic. "I can use magic to slow down my opponent mid-fight!" Twilight said. Fluttershy dashed back at her. "Then I'll try a different approach!" She said. Twilight jumped back into the fray with her. Eventually, Twilight used her magic again. 'Now!' Fluttershy thought, putting extra power into her fist, adding a pink aura to it. It broke through Twilight's magic! Twilight was punched in the cheek! She recoiled. "Huh. You can add power to your attacks to overpower my magic... But can you know which one to use!?" Twilight asked with a grin. "I can only hope!" Fluttershy said with a smile. "You have a one in four chance of actually getting it right. Better hope you have good luck!" Twilight said. *** Goten kicked Applejack in the chin, then Applejack punched him in the cheek, and then the two blasted each other away. The two recovered and panted. More on Applejack's side. "I can't believe I got this much stronger!" She said. "Heh! I know! You used to be so much weaker!" Goten said. "Let's keep going!" Applejack said, jumping at Goten. Goten made his aura flare. "Let's go!" He yelled. *** The nine were all sitting around in a circle, bruised and cut. Panting and sweating. Well, except for Gohan and Rainbow Dash, but they're kinda tired. "What a day...!" Pinkie said. "I am so proud of you all, you're so much stronger than an average human!" Gohan said. "Fluttershy and I must have the same luck because out of the 348 times she attacked, half of them were able to hit me." Twilight said. "We don't need your egghead talk." Rainbow Dash said. "Hey, algebra can be fun! You'll run into calculus on the SAT in a few months." Gohan said. "And I need to study." Rainbow Dash said. "Anyway... I guess we should reach into this untouched bag." Gohan said, doing just that. It's been a while. "Senzu beans, huh?" Sunset asked. "We all did great today. You all have some neat techniques!" Gohan said, passing them around. "Fluttershy had a bear sneak attack me in our fight. Black bear." Twilight said. "Rarity's diamonds were a big problem." Sunset said. "Sunset kept phasing and unphasing through everything." Rarity said. "Twilight's magic was problematic." Fluttershy said. "Goten was just Goten." Applejack said. "Applejack adapts very fast!" Goten said. "And so does Rainbow Dash." Gohan said. "I guess we should give them title of: 'Remarkable Adaptability.'" Twilight said. Everyone laughed. *** Okay, so, we all know how much of a dumbass and smartass Gohan is. Let's highlight some of his romantic moments he had ruined with Sunset. They're not all entirely him. *** A sunset... At the top of a hill... Because Sunset said so. And Gohan didn't know why. They were sitting together. "The sunset is beautiful!" Gohan said, facing Sunset. "You're not looking at the sunset." Sunset said. "I am." Gohan said. "Aw... You're too kind." Sunset said, blushing. She closed her eyes... Gohan faced the sunset this time, but she didn't know. She leaned in a bit... ... A bit more... ... 'I wonder why Sunset made you see a sunset with her.' Goku said. ... Sunset was a little irritated. Eventually she didn't realize she pushed her face into the side of Gohan's face. "Uh... S-Sunset?" Gohan asked. Sunset opened her eyes and pulled back. "Oh come on, that was a perfect moment!" She said. A little angry... And Gohan thought that was cute as hell. 'W-Wow... Is she mad? Because she is cuter than usual.' He thought. 'From my experience with Chi Chi... Yeah, she is.' Goku said. 'I mean mad, not cute. That's your thing. I can't really tell. I only know Chi Chi.' He added. '...You know, I'm contemplating whether I should actually take you with me on these dates.' Gohan thought. 'I think you shouldn't at this point.' Goku said. "Now, can you fix it?" Sunset asked. "...I-I'm sorry, I was distracted, what did you just say?" Gohan asked. Sunset groaned in frustration. She pushed foward and gave Gohan a kiss to fix the awkward moment there. ...But Gohan was a lil' too submissive and focused on her looks and fell over. And since they were at the top of a hill... They fell over and the kiss broke, they rolled down the damn hill, getting covered in dirt, and etc. "Gohan...!" Sunset said as she rolled down. Gohan knew he was toast. Eventually Gohan stopped rolling and fell on his chest. Sunset fell on her back on top of Gohan. She panted a bit. "You... Are so... Dead..." She said with a death face. "I may be an extreme dummiehead, as Pinkie puts it, but I love you." Gohan said. "...You are forgiven." Sunset said with a grin. 'Phew! Not Chi Chi!' Goku said. '...You're not coming next time.' Gohan thought. 'He better not.' Sunset said. *** The two were on Sunset's bed... Gohan wore just the orange shirt and pants, as well as the belt. He left Goku like he said. Sunset in her pajamas... "I like your place." Gohan said. "Huh... You do?" Sunset asked. "How do you pay for it?" Gohan asked. "That's a secret..." Sunset said. 'Celestia and Luna are the nicest people.' She thought. "Anyway, let's finish the night with the grand finale." She said, giving Gohan sultry eyes. "Grand finale...?" Gohan asked, genuinely confused. Sunset pushed and gave him a passionate kiss. Little make out session... They were sitting up. Sunset was rubbing her hand against Gohan's chest for some reason. 'Maybe...' He thought. He tried to copy Sunset, and... Well, you can just imagine how that went. He rubbed her chest... In between her breasts, and... She instantly broke the kiss with an angry look. "H-Huh?" Gohan asked. Sunset bitchslapped him! Since Gohan was pretty submissive, he received the full damage of that bitchslap. He fell on the bed. "I never took you for a pervert!" She yelled. "W-What?" Gohan asked, rubbing his reddened cheek. There was a hand mark on it. "I-I was only copying you!" He said as he sat up again. Then Sunset realized... 'Damn it, he doesn't know that he can't touch these!' She thought. "I... I'm sorry, I thought you knew." She said, looking sincere again. "Knew what...?" Gohan asked. "That women's breasts aren't something to be touched!" Sunset said. "Oh... B-But you...?" Gohan asked. "It's okay for men." Sunset said. "Oh. Okay." Gohan said. 'Strangely sexist, but I'll take it.' He thought. "Does it hurt?" Sunset asked, inspecting the cheek. "Yeah..." Gohan said. "I'm sorry." Sunset said, putting her hand on it. "It's okay... I deserved it for being uninformed." Gohan said as the pain subsided. "No, no... Uh... I know it's a horrible time to ask, but do you want to continue?" Sunset asked. "It feels nice, so... Y-Yeah." Gohan said. *** In a movie theatre... On another date. Where a version of the Twilight book was playing... I mean the saga, not Sparkle. Sunset adored it while Gohan wasn't really happy with it. The two were watching... There was some sort of kissing scene... Ooh... Sunset noticed Gohan's arm on the armrest... She put her hand on his... But Gohan didn't realize what she was doing. "Oh, sorry. Was I taking up the armrest?" He whispered as he took his hand off the armrest. 'Damn it, Gohan!' Sunset thought. The kissing on screen was getting kind of passionate... Gohan didn't seem all too thrilled about that... And looked down. 'Anything is better than this movie, my goodness.' He thought. Sunset was really trying. "Gohan... I'm feeling kind of chilly." She whispered. "Really? The air conditioner isn't on, and it's approximately 80 degrees in here. You're even sweating." Gohan whispered. "Ugh, darn it Gohan!" Sunset whispered. "D-Did I do something wrong?" Gohan asked. "Come here and cuddle with me already!" Sunset whispered. "I'm trying to get you to hug me!" She said. "Oh, I'm sorry." Gohan said. The two hugged each other. But that meant Gohan had to focus on the screen. 'Oh no...!' He thought. 'What?' Sunset asked telepathically. 'Sunset, please don't be offended, but I am not a fan of this movie.' Gohan said. 'Fair point, half of the people who see it hate it.' Sunset said. 'Oh, thank you...' Gohan thought. 'But I like it, so we're watching! You can close your eyes, or something.' Sunset said. *** Sunset just got out of the shower. Gohan was in the same house downstairs. The shower was just off her room... Since she was out, Gohan thought he could go upstairs and then sleep. Sunset had her underwear on and was brushing her hair. "Hey Suns... Ack!" Gohan yelped as he saw her. He was too petrified to move. Sunset looked over and gasped... "Gohan!" She said angrily. "I-I didn't mean to...!" Gohan said, covering his eyes with his hands. Sunset stormed over to him. "See me once, shame on me... See me twice... Shame on you!" She yelled. *** Gohan was on his side of the bed, looking away from Sunset with a tear in his eye and a red hand mark on his face. He felt bad. He had his father gi on, but he left his father at home with Goten again. He just had the orange shirt, pants, and blue belt. Sunset was on the other side, siting up and reading a book. In her pajamas. "...Please forgive me for my stupidity." Gohan said out of nowhere. Sunset closed her book. "Look at me." She said. Gohan slowly turned around as he still laid down. "You are forgiven." Sunset said. Gohan sighed in relief. "Thank you..." He said. Sunset leaned in and gave him a kiss on the cheek. The slap didn't hurt so much now... "That's your reward for apologizing." She said. Gohan yawned. "Okay... Good night." He said, closing his eyes. *** Well, those were their kind of ruined moments. It's not like they didn't have touching, special, and perfect moments, because those are their usual times. Anyway, moving on... In Movie Magic... *** Lightning sparks appeared around a mountain, and a hooded man approached it. He cackled. "It is almost time. Once I have all three relics, no one will be able to stop me, and Marapore will fall! For I am Stalwart Stallion-" "WHOA WHOA WHOA!" Rainbow Dash interrupted. "Cut!" Canter Zoom said. Turns out, this is a studio. The Humane 7 and the Saiyans and the Saiyan on Gohan's chest were visiting... "Sorry. But at this point in the story, Stalwart Stallion would be known as Mojo." Rainbow Dash said. Everyone looked at her. "What? You think he wants Daring Do fans to call him out for making a mistake like that?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Rainbow, not everyone's going to care. Some people will be dragged by their friends to watch the movie. Like someone I know." Gohan said. "Oh hahah." Rainbow Dash laughed sarcastically. 'The book was mediocre, but the specifics were nice.' Gohan thought. "Let's go again. And this time, let's say Mojo instead of Stalwart Stallion this time, okay? And... Action!" Zoom said. *** The group were now touring the studio, following the director of this Daring Do film, Canter Zoom. Fluttershy was carrying Spike. Twilight carried Giru. "I can't believe we're really here!" Rainbow Dash said. "Thank you so much for letting us come, Mr. Zoom." Twilight said. "Giru! Giru! Movie theatre scary!" Giru said. "It isn't a theatre." Twilight whispered. "We promise, we won't get in the way! Again." Sunset said, referring to Rainbow Dash. Rainbow Dash nervously chuckled. "As a fellow Camp Everfree alum, I was more than happy to afford the girls and boy plus one who helped save it the chance to visit the set of our little film." Zoom said. "Eh-heh! Little? This is Daring Do we're talking about! This movie is gonna be huge!" Rainbow Dash said. "Daring Do is overrated!" Goten said. "What!?" Twilight and Rainbow Dash asked, extremely triggered. 'Goten, you doomed yourself.' Gohan thought. 'Gohan... On a scale of 1 to 10, how much Chi Chi do you see in those two?' Goku asked. 'Rainbow Dash is a 6, Twilight is a 8.' Gohan thought. 'Goten, I pray that you won't die.' Goku said. "Daring Do is overrated!?" Rainbow Dash asked. Gohan didn't speak but mouthed it to Goten. "RUN. RUN AWAY." He mouthed. Rainbow Dash and Twilight ponied up. "Power levels have risen sharply...! GiruGiruGiruGiruGiru!" Giru kept repeating in fear. Mainly because Twilight could crush him. "Say that again..." Twilight said. Zoom was already shocked by the random wings. Goten turned Super Saiyan. "Daring Do is overrated." He said. Okay, Zoom looked like he was going to pass out. Then a P.A. came. "Uh, there's a problem in wardrobe. They can't find the costume Daring Do is supposed to wear in the nightclub scene." She said. "If we're ever able to finish it, it will be. If you'll excuse me." Zoom said, trying to get the fuck outta there! "Now, back to showing how you good Daring and he's gone again." Twilight said. "Giru can no longer feel Goten!" Giru said. "You guys should be a bit more open minded." Gohan said. "Yeah, maybe." Twilight said, ponying down. "Goten needs to have more brains!" Rainbow Dash said, ponying down. "Rainbow, Goten has a GPA of 4.8. I have a GPA of 5.0. Yours is lower. Your argument is invalid." Gohan said. "Yeah, but the cluelessness you have runs in the family." Sunset said. "That's different. That's... Well, only Goten and I have a knack for reading books. Every other Saiyan hates it." Gohan said. "But I only read books like Huckleberry Finn! Twice, actually. It was because a bad word was taken out of it." He said. "According to our visitor schedules, they won't start shooting the next scene for a while, which means we have time to-" Twilight said, before- "Get my picture taken with Chestnut Magnifico, the actress playing Daring Do!" Rarity said. "And ask her to sign my petition to bring more bird feeders to Canterlot High!" Fluttershy said. Everyone looked at her. "Well, Chestnut Magnifico is an avid supporter of a foundation that helps build homes for animals in need." Fluttershy said. "Oh, okay. But I was thinking that we could-" Twilight said, before- "Check out all the sets?" Sunset asked. "I'd sure like to get a closer look at that volcano." Applejack said. "Actually, I thought we'd-" "Find the buffet!" Spike said. "And the cupcake fountain!" Pinkie said, taking Spike. "Ooh, I'd like those." Gohan said. "I don't know what a cupcake fountain is, but I'm pretty sure they don't have one." Rainbow Dash said. "Of course they do. I read it in my '100 Things You Didn't Know About This Movie Studio: Insider's Tour Guide.'" Pinkie said. "Is the number-one thing we didn't know that the guy who founded this studio was an eccentric oddball with a sweet tooth?" Applejack asked. Pinkie looked through the album. "Oh! Yes!" She said. "I guess we're splitting up?" Twilight asked. Everyone agreed. "But we're taking Gohan with us!" Rainbow Dash said. "What? Why? I wanted to go to the buffet!" Gohan said. "Because you need to be educated on how awesome Daring Do is!" Rainbow Dash said. "I never said I thought Daring Do was bad! I just didn't really like the plot, the specifics were fi-" Gohan said, before shutting his mouth with his hands. 'Wow, nice one.' Goku said. 'There's room for error!' Gohan thought. "Giru! You messed up! Giru!" Giru said. "Adding salt to the wound, are we?" Sunset asked. "That does it! We're taking you!" Rainbow Dash said, grabbing the blue shirt collar and slowly dragging his 4300 kilogram ass across the floor. "Oh, darn it." Gohan said, crossing his arms. Eventually he, Twilight, Giru and Rainbow Dash were gone. "...He's really submissive, ain't he?" Applejack asked. "You have no idea..." Sunset said. *** Rarity and Fluttershy were in front of Chestnut Magnifico's trailer. "Maybe we shouldn't bother her when she's in her trailer." Fluttershy said. "Darling, Please, Actresses love interacting with their fans!" Rarity said. Then the door swung open, hitting Rarity. "Oh! Miss Magnifico, I-" Rarity said, before- "Ugh! I don't care if I'm under contract! This is a joke, and I want this thing shut down! Do you hear me?!" Chestnut yelled into her phone. She hit end call and stormed away. Rarity nervously chuckled. "She probably just didn't see us." She said. *** Applejack and Sunset were on set, looking at the volcano. "Hmm. Wonder how long it takes to build somethin' like this." Applejack said. "Several weeks, I'd bet." Sunset said. "They sure do go all out makin' it look like the real deal, huh?" Applejack asked. Sunset stepped in a wrapper. She picked it up and read it. "Though I don't think the rainforest is known for its... Bon Mot peanut butter praline crunch bars." Sunset said. "Better pocket that. Wouldn't want it ruining the shot." Applejack said. Sunset shrugged and stuffed it into her jacket. *** Rainbow Dash, dragging Gohan and Twilight were checking out props. "Tell me again, why checking out props would help me understand that Daring Do is 'sooo great?'" Gohan asked. "Because you need to know the lore!" Rainbow Dash said. "I already know what those three are!" Gohan said, standing up and pointing at props. He dusted himself off because his heavy ass was dragged across the floor. "The Three Altoriosa Relics? Of course! The staff, the sword-" Gohan said, before- "Don't forget the Arrow of Altoriosa!" A voice came from behind. Everyone turned around. It was Juniper Montage. "You're from Canterlot High, right?" She asked. "Yes. Please help me. They've kidnapped me to quote on quote 'e-" Gohan said before Twilight and Rainbow Dash put their hands on his mouth. "We're trying to change his mind on Daring Do. Uh, yes, we go to Canterlot High." Twilight said. "Giru! They've ki-" Giru said before Rainbow Dash shut him. "I'm Juniper Montage, Canter the director's niece. What do you think?" Juniper asked. "They're awesome!" Rainbow Dash said. "They look real, so it gets an 85." Gohan said. "That better be out of 85, Gohan!" Rainbow Dash said. Gohan cowered. 'Man, you got my fear of women. I'm sorry.' Goku said. 'Don't be, but they scare me sometimes. Especially Sunset, since she's a great cook. Also because she's my girlfriend.' Gohan thought. 'Is she a Chi Chi kinda cook?' Goku asked. 'Pretty much, yeah. My cooking is pretty bad. Half the time others actually cook Goten and I's food.' Gohan said. "A. K. Yearling is very hands-on when it comes to the sets and props for the movie." Juniper said. "Have you met her?" Twilight asked. "Just once when she came to check out the relics. I did get her to sign a copy of the latest Daring Do book, though." Juniper said, before squealing with Twilight. "So what do you do here?" Twilight asked. "Mostly, I bring my uncle coffee and help get everything ready for shooting. I've been on the set for all the movies he's shot here. Pretty much know every inch of this place like the back of my hand." Juniper said. She giggled. "I tried to convince him to cast me as Daring Do, but..." She said, before turning bitter. "...he really didn't go for that." She said. "Giru! Giru detects anger!" Giru said. But, she turned cheerful again. "Hey! Have you guys seen the set for Caballeron's secret lair?" She asked. Rainbow Dash gasped. "They usually lock the door to that set, but I've got keys that open just about every door in this place. Come on. I'll show you." Juniper said. "Sure! Let me make sure Gohan'll come with and he's already gone." Rainbow Dash said. He was gone. "Oh darn it!" Rainbow Dash yelled. "Oh, wait, there he is." Twilight said, pointing at the ceiling. 'Dang it. What do I do?' Gohan thought. 'Uh... Uh... Instant Transmission...?' Goku said. 'Oh. Right. Thanks!' Gohan said. He put two fingers to his forehead and teleported away. Juniper was shocked. "H-How did he...?" She asked. "Anyway, let's see Caballeron's lair!" Rainbow Dash said. "B-But how did he get up there and vanish? Is he a magician?" Juniper asked. "Don't ask. He's strange. In fact, he isn't even from this planet." Twilight said. "T-That's a lie! He's not an alien!" Juniper said. "...He is." Rainbow Dash said. *** Goten was eating some of the buffet food. As a normal Saiyan. Pinkie and Spike were in a chair. "Three lunch buffets, six different kinds of fondue, two rooms with nothing but candy, and still no cupcake fountain! Oh, well. At least we found those peanut butter praline crunch bars! They weren't in my guidebook, but they sure were delicious!" Pinkie said. "I'll say! You think they have any more?" Spike asked. Then everyone heard Zoom scream. He and Chestnut were at a buffet. "One more month, Chestnut! That's all we need! I'm doing everything I can to keep us on schedule! But with all the setbacks we've had, I don't think we can do it! If you could just agree to stay on for one more month...!" Zoom begged. "UNACCEPTABLE!" Chestnut said. "But-" "Where are my imported peanut butter praline crunch bars!?" Chestnut interrupted. "Now would probably be a good time to resume the search for that cupcake fountain." Spike whispered to Pinkie. The two nodded and snuck away. *** They were on set again. And yes, Gohan was in the same room. Just that Sunset was defending him with a wrapped arm. Fluttershy held Spike, and Twilight held Giru. "You guys should've seen the relics." Rainbow Dash whispered. "THEY WERE AWESOME!" She yelled. "Ugh! Quiet on set, PLEASE!" Zoom yelled. "Sorry. Maybe I'll just go take one more peek at them." Rainbow Dash said, dashing off. "And... Action!" Zoom yelled. The actor was walking up to the volcano before- It started to collapse! It did collapse! "Cut, cut, cut!" Zoom said, exasperated. "What is going on around here? We just filmed on this volcano, and it was fine! This could set us back weeks!" He said. "They're gone! They're all gone!" Rainbow Dash said. "What's gone?" Zoom asked with a twitched eye. "The relics!" Juniper said. Everyone but the Saiyans gasped and/or screamed. *** "I wanted to check them out again up close, and they weren't there!" Rainbow Dash said. "This can't be happening! What are we gonna do!?" Zoom asked "Couldn't you just get the prop department to make new ones?" Sunset asked. "The missing relics were personally approved by A. K. Yearling! We could have new ones made, but we can't use them until Miss Yearling has given them her official stamp of approval! You think it'd be easy to reach someone who is always holed up in her office writing, but Miss Yearling is a very difficult woman to track down." Zoom said. "I-It'll be okay, though, right?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Chestnut's contract with us is almost up, and with Mount Vehoovius collapsing, and now this, I fear we'll have to stop production altogether!" Zoom said. "But-but you have to finish this movie! Think of all the Daring Do fans who'll be so disappointed if you don't!" Rainbow Dash said. "Are you sure there's nothing you can do to-" Twilight said, before a loud crash was heard. Zoom was clearly stressed. "I'm so sorry. Please excuse me." He said, walking away with Juniper. "Hmm..." Twilight said. Giru flew up the the crime scene and looked at it for a bit. "Giru... Giru... Giru... No secretion of the fingers found." He said. "I programmed that into him." Twilight said, holding him again. "There was trouble with one of the costumes when we first arrived. A set that was fine yesterday just collapsed. And now, the most important props in the movie have been stolen. I don't think these are just coincidences." She said. "Me, neither. All the things that have gone wrong on set have put production on hold. It seems to me like someone is going to a lot of trouble to make sure this movie doesn't get made." Sunset said. "We need someone with a motive." Gohan said. "But who would want to-" Spike asked, before Fluttershy gasped. "Oh, dear! You don't think..." She said. "Oh, no-no-no-no. Certainly not!" Rarity said. Everyone looked at her for explanation. "When Rarity and I followed Chestnut Magnifico to her trailer, we overheard her saying something about shutting down the movie..." Fluttershy said. "Yes, but she said she wanted something shut down. We don't know that she was talking about the movie." Rarity said. "Maybe she's just really mad that they're always running out of her imported butter praline crunch bars." Pinkie said. "...Bon Mot butter praline crunch bars?" Sunset asked, pulling out the wrapper from before. "Those are the ones!" Pinkie said. "We, uh... may have tried a few ourselves. Heh." Spike said. "We found this on the Mount Vehoovius set right before it collapsed." Sunset said. "It sure seems like all signs are pointing to Chestnut Magnifico as the one causing all the problems around here." Twilight said. "It seems like she has a calling card, but we can't really lock onto it without a motive or fingerprints or other incriminating evidence. Anyone could've planted that Bon Mot bar and she could've meant something else by shutting down something." Gohan said. "I don't know who's behind this or what's going on, but the first thing we need to do is find those relics." Rainbow Dash said. "I agree. The relics were here earlier, and if Chestnut IS behind this, then they must still be around here somewhere." Twilight said. "Yeah, if someone were to do it as fast as they could, they would get caught! It's maybe done in phases." Goten said. "Phases? Then we need to look out for Chestnut Magnifico when it comes to that." Twilight said. "Chestnut Magnifico is an acclaimed actress! She'd never do something so dramatic!" Rarity defended. "An actress? Dramatic? Never!" Sunset said sarcastically. "Well, she might do somethin' like this if she was tryin' to get out of workin' on a movie she didn't want to do." Applejack said. "Why don't Fluttershy, Pinkie, Spike, and I follow Chestnut Magnifico and see if we can find anything out?" Sunset asked, walking away. "Let's do it!" Pinkie said as everyone followed. "Where do we even start? It's not like there's some mysterious, thievin', cloaked figure we can chase after and say, 'Hey, tell us where you're keepin' the relics!'" Applejack said. It just so happens that there is some mysterious thieving, cloaked figure they could chase after and say, 'Hey, tell us where you're keeping the relics!' "You mean like that one?" Goten asked, pointing at some mysterious thieving, cloaked figure they could chase after and say, 'Hey, tell us where you're keeping the relics!' "Hey! Stop right there!" Rainbow Dash yelled. That hooded figure didn't stop right there, she ran! 'Is that... Juniper?' Gohan thought. Rainbow Dash dashed after her with her powers! Everyone else followed. Gohan and Goten were going it slow. Rainbow Dash could do it, right? *** Damn it, she got away. The rest finally caught up to Rainbow Dash. With Rarity and Twilight out of breath. "I can't believe I lost them! My geode gives me super speed, but I guess being awesomely fast doesn't help when the person you're chasing knows their way around better than you do." Rainbow Dash said. "Should I just lock on to their ki and tell you where they are?" Gohan asked, putting two fingers to his forehead. "No, that would make things anticlimactic!" Pinkie said. She and her group were there. "Hey guys." Sunset said. "Any luck finding Chestnut?" Applejack asked. "I mean, we found Juniper-" Gohan said before she shut his mouth with his hands. 'I wanted it to be a surprise, dang it!' He thought. "Juniper? How do you- Oh. I see." Sunset said. "But how would we know? How can we prove it?" Rainbow Dash asked. "She was running away from us for a reason. She's probably still around!" Goten said. "And maybe we just need to get her in the act..." Gohan said. ... Planning time.... It was kinda like deciding which hand to use to slap a bitch. Should I use my right, or my left? Decisions, decisions- "I got it!" Twilight said. *** After some planning... The group were with Zoom, Chestnut and Juniper at the crime scene. They recently found one of the missing items- The gown Daring Do would wear at the nightclub. "You found this in the supply closet?" Zoom asked. "We didn't find the relics. But we don't think the thief has had a chance to take them off the lot yet. We wanted your permission to search the Tricorners Village set from top to bottom. Maybe we'll find a clue that would lead us to where they're hidden." Twilight said. "Of course. Chestnut, I need you to get into hair and makeup. As soon as we get the relics, we're gonna start shooting again." Zoom said. "Hmph. We'll see." Chestnut said, walking away. "Juniper, can you do a smoothie run? I'm sure all this sleuthing is gonna make everyone thirsty." Zoom asked. "Absolutely!" Juniper said, running off. *** The hooded figure went to a crate and picked up the stolen relics! Her hood was revealed to be Juniper! "See, I told you!" Gohan said. Everyone just caught her in the act. She improvised.... "Look! I found the missing relics!" She said. "Because you're the one who stole them!" Sunset said. "She... She wouldn't." Zoom said in disbelief. "She would." Twilight said. "She just did." Goten said, pouring salt in the wound. "Giru! Heart rate skyrocketing! Sweating! Lying!" Giru said. "What she didn't expect was for Rainbow Dash to come to the Tricorners set before she was able to sneak them off to a safer hiding place. So she was forced to hide them in the first place she could find." Twilight said. "But she knew she couldn't leave them at the set. So she improvised that as soon as she got the chance, she'd move them!" Gohan said. "Juniper was caught in the act, and luckily for her, we didn't try. And also she knew this place like the back of her hand, so she lost Rainbow Dash." He said. "But, the problem is, Gohan knew this entire freaking time and kept his trap shut until he opened his big mouth!" Rainbow Dash said. "I wanted to give you guys a chance at playing hero! Just last week we-" Gohan said, before he bit his tongue. 'Eh, screw it. Do it, Gohan.' Goku said. "-fought Broly and Myuu." Gohan said. "Who?" Zoom asked. "That's besides the point, Juniper would never admit she was the one who had taken the relics." Twilight said. "Unless, of course, she was caught in the act of trying to move them again!" Sunset said. "Which is why I told you to send her on that smoothie run. So she'd think she had the opportunity to get the relics off the lot where we'd never find them." Twilight said. "But instead of searching the Tricorners set, you all were secretly following me here." Juniper said. "Why would you do this!?" Zoom asked. "I'm sorry! Okay? I'm sorry. I just can't stand Chestnut! She's always eating all the peanut butter praline crunch bars, which are the only candy bars I like." Juniper said. "That's hardly a reason to-" "And I was mad at you for casting her as Daring Do!" Juniper interrupted her uncle. "I mean, I have told you over and over again how badly I wanted to play Daring Do, and you just ignored me!" Juniper said. "But, Juniper, you're too young! You don't have any experience." Zoom said. "I know! But I thought if enough things went wrong, Chestnut would maybe back out of the movie and then... you would give me a chance." Juniper said. "Not only did you jeopardize the production, endanger the safety of the actors and the film crew, but you also lied to me and took advantage of my trust!" Zoom said, counting those off his fingers. "I know. A-And I'm sorry. I never meant to hurt anyone, and I was going to return all the props, just as soon as Chestnut quit. I hope you can forgive me." Juniper said. "You're my niece, Juniper, so, of course, I can forgive you." Zoom said sincerely. But that turned dark quick. "But I'm sorry to say you're no longer welcome on the set, and it'll be a long time before I consider allowing you back here!" Zoom said, snapping his fingers. Security popped up. "Keys!" He said, holding his hand out. Juniper gave him the keys. Security was walking her out, but then she gave the Humane 7 a death stare. Gohan gave his own death stare. Juniper went away. Then Chestnut came. "Canter, there you are!" She said, giggling. "So sorry I'm not in makeup, but I've just gotten a call from my agent. I no longer have to work on that ridiculous documentary about nests next month. Ha-ha! I swear, when they approached me, I thought they wanted to do a documentary about my organization for homeless animals, not on various "nests" around the world! Completely misleading! But no matter! That's all behind us!" She said. "No more scheduling conflict! I can extend my contract and continue filming Daring Do. Hey, are those the missing relics?" Chestnut asked. "Yes! And I don't think we'll have to worry about them disappearing again. And it's all thanks to our visitors from Canterlot High. First you save Camp Everfree, now the Daring Do movie. Y'all are certainly on a roll." Zoom said. Everything was going just great for them! But... "Mr. Zoom! The actor that was meant to play the were monkey at the volcano and his brother have officially quit!" A guy said. "And I just thought everything was going my way today, DANG IT!" Zoom said, banging his head on the wall. "Hey Gohan..." Sunset said, nudging Gohan. "You have got to be kidding me." Gohan said. "Gohan, do it!" Rainbow Dash said. "No!" Gohan said. "Pwease?" Sunset asked with puppy dog eyes. ... "I'll make you that dinner I didn't make you because you were busy..." Sunset said. Only her... "...Fine... Only you, Sunset." Gohan said. "Mr. Zoom, I'm doing this and only doing this once, but I'm acting as the were monkey." Gohan said. "What? But how!? Our actor looked much more realistic than you! Well, except for your tail- Why do you have a tail?" Zoom asked. "Long story short- I'm a half alien." Gohan said. "I'm sorry, a what!?" Zoom asked. "Saiyan and human. Anyway, we possess the skill to access new forms that boost our power significantly." Gohan said. "Gaze upon Gohan this one time, Zoom. For you will see a bit of his full resolve!" Rarity said. "Actually, you may wanna look away, I'll make this as quick as possible." Gohan said. "W-What is he gonna do?" Zoom asked. Gohan started to make his aura flare as a Super Saiyan. Everyone stepped back. With some sphere enveloping him, it quickly died with tons of shimmers of light raining down. Zoom and Chestnut looked in pure shock. A Super Saiyan 4... Gohan opened his eyes. "Is this a good enough portrayal?" He asked. "I-Its perfect! The red tail, body hair... It looks realistic!" Zoom said. "Probably because it's his strongest form out of his arsenal of hairstyles." Rainbow Dash joked. "Welcome aboard! But we need the brother..." Zoom said. "Maybe my brother could play!" Gohan said. "Ooh! Ooh! Can I be a Super Saiyan too?" Goten asked. "We do need banana hair for the shot... Great! Thank you so much you two! And I think I know how I can add everyone else to the movie as a reward..." Zoom said. Rainbow Dash squealed. *** Gohan's only doing it for Sunset, okay!? These two apparently live in the volcano. They met Daring Do and helped her reach Stalwart Stallion- I mean Mojo. "With the volcano erupting, you'll be long dead, Daring Do!" Mojo said, flying away with a relic. "This is bad! I don't know how I'll get out of this one!" Daring Do said. "Miss!" Gohan yelled. Daring Do turned around to the two. "We'll get you out!" Gohan said. "No problem!" Goten said. They finish each others' sentences in the book. "But how!? The lava's rising...!" Daring said. "Bro!" Goten said. "ther!" Gohan said. The two grabbed Daring and 'struggled' to just barely throw her out of the volcano. Sacrificing themselves... "Noooo!" Daring yelled, reaching for them. Gohan saluted to her while Goten smiled. The lava rose so much that they were out of sight. Daring was crying... "Cut!" Zoom yelled. "That was perfect! Gohan is a really good actor!" He said. "Maybe he should-" Sunset said, before- Gohan burst from the colored water. "There is no way I'm acting again!" He said. *** Daring Do was running across the town with the Sword of Altoriosa. The Humane 7 were innocent bystanders. And Spike, too. As all sorts of things. Jugglers, jongleurs, shopkeepers, and more. Then she ran into Mojo! "You will give me the Sword of Altoriosa!" He said. "I don't think so, Stalwart!" Daring said. "Have it your way!" Mojo yelled. Using the staff, he summoned a powerful whirlwind. "Give up, Daring Do! The Sword shall be mine!" He said, taking the sword. Rainbow Dash threw Daring Do her whip! She used the whip to knock the staff and the sword out of his possession! "This is so awesome!" Rainbow Dash said. "CUT! Again!?" Zoom asked. The lighting and effects died down. "Uh, sorry." Rainbow Dash said. *** Twilight wanted to run some magical tests on Gohan. Some non-magical. *** Gohan and Twilight were in the library of the castle. Twilight had a few books of spells on her side while Gohan was the guinea pig. "Well... What and why are we doing this?" Gohan asked. "I want to test if my strongest magic can affect you in the slightest." Twilight said. 'Maybe I shouldn't tell her that her doppelgänger is much stronger than her.' Gohan thought. "Well... Should I just stand still?" Gohan asked. "Power up to your fullest power!" Twilight said. "You mean Super Saiyan!?" Gohan asked. "No, no. Sorry, I meant to say just in normal form." Twilight said. Gohan nodded and bent his arms. He made his yellow aura flare, and maximized his power. Well, not max. If he really wanted to go max strength he'd go third grade or something similar. AKA buff up like Vegito. Gohan let his aura die down. "Alright. I'm at full power." He said. "Great! First test, mind manipulation!" Twilight said. "If my mind gets boggled, can you reverse it?" Gohan asked. "Yeah!... By going back in time to stop it." Twilight said. "Oh, okay. Wait... You can-" "Let's start!" Twilight interrupted. Twilight charged up her horn with magic. She tried a mind control spell. She shot a purple magic at Gohan's head. And a white flash of light appeared... "...Anything?" Twilight asked. She wanted to know if he was in a trance. "No, I don't feel anything." Gohan said. "Oh, man! Alright, next one..." Twilight said. She charged her horn with magic and fired at Gohan. Another flash of light. This was a spell attempting to remove a chunk of memory from his mind. "Do you remember what we just talked about?" Twilight asked. "Did I feel anything, right? I don't feel anything here, either." Gohan said. "That settles it. I can't manipulate your mind." Twilight said. "So... What other tests?" Gohan asked. *** The two were in a field. "Next up, physical change!" Twilight said. "Okay." Gohan said. Twilight charged some purple magic in her horn, trying for some orange transformation spell. She fired at Gohan! As soon as she looked again... "Nope. Didn't work." Twilight said. "What's next?" Gohan asked. "My full power against yours!" Twilight said. "You...? So should I be airborne?" Gohan asked. "Why?" Twilight asked. "So we don't hurt any civilians?" Gohan asked. "Oh. Right, yeah, do that." Twilight said. Gohan was airborne at about a 45 degree angle from Twilight. "Here I go!" Twilight yelled. "Don't hold back!" Gohan said. Twilight started concentrating serious magic from her horn. She started to sweat. Gohan prepped himself. 'I might as well just catch it all. Maybe put it into a ball.' He thought. Twilight started to float from the ground, having a white aura. "HERE I GO...!" She yelled, extremely strained. "Fire!" Gohan yelled. Twilight let loose, unleashing a purple, white and blue blast on Gohan. It was insanely powerful! Some ponies could see it from a distance. The blast kind of turned into two after it collided with Gohan. Twilight was still letting it rip. So, Gohan decided to show Twilight how much of his resolve can do. Gohan started to strain as he started to take the blast and combine it all into a giant ball of magic. 'She has some powerful magic!' He thought. Twilight started to tire out, and started panting. She sat down. She barely saw Gohan have a giant ball of her powerful magic above his head and hands up. She finally looked up to see Gohan straining very hard for some reason. "What are you doing!?" She asked. Gohan held the ball out in front of himself, minimizing it. Eventually it was very small that it was a golf ball. Gohan was panting a bit after doing so, but after three seconds he was done. He looked to Twilight. "This is your intense magic. It's very dense." He said. "Really?" Twilight asked. "Yeah! But..." Gohan said, pushing his hands together to crush it to nothing, "I'm much stronger." He said. "Heh. That's obvious." Twilight said. *** "Um, sorry to ask, but... What am I doing here?" Fluttershy asked. They were in a field. "Use your stare on Gohan for me, Fluttershy." Twilight said. "And we'll see if it has any effect on him." She added. "I never thought about this. Maybe it'll work!" Gohan said. "Um, okay..." Fluttershy said. She hesitated before unleashing that deadly stare at Gohan. "Now Gohan, try to walk closer to Fluttershy." Twilight said. .... Gohan started to slowly walk towards Fluttershy, unfazed. Twilight wrote it down in her handy dandy notebook. Fluttershy eventually started to cower and stopped because, damn. Gohan may be her friend, but remembers that he's undergoing his teenage years so he'd be peeved very easily. And you know what happens when that happens... "Are you okay, Fluttershy?" Gohan asked. "I'm okay..." Fluttershy said. "I only got scared, that's all." She said. "Well, that concludes that... Equestrian science thanks you for your service, Gohan." Twilight said. "You know, there's one thing science can't really prove at the moment." Gohan said. "What's that?" Twilight asked. "Why the heck is my hair and height the same after three years!? I grew out my hair down to my back in the same amount of time!" Gohan said. That is a good question... And I won't answer it. HAHAHAHAHAH- OW! Why'd you throw that trash can at me!? *** Heheheh... You'll see. And finally, (the next chapters are Mirror Magic and Forgotten Friendship and *spoilers* then the MLP Movie! Finally, it's time for the MLP movie! Er... Well, this isn't really the movie, since I'm doing the movie later. *** Well, it was a nice day. Sun's out, perfect weather, everyone happens to be outside in Ponyville... The Mane 6 were all conversing or playing or doing their usual things. Spike was doing his usual thing. Gohan was sitting down, reading a book, and Goten was flying around throwing punches. Then there was some weird thunderstorm shit. That snapped Gohan out of his book. It was a book about dating, really. Given to him by the only one who can give advice on this, Rarity. Anyway. "Rainbow, I thought you said today would be perfect weather." Twilight said. "Uh... I don't think those are storm clouds." Rainbow Dash said. Gohan actually stood up. A giant battleship came out of it. "Ooh! I bet those are the clowns I ordered!" Pinkie said. "For what purpose!?" Goten asked. It landed in Ponyville... Gohan and Goten stood in front of the Mane 6 as a sort of cover. "All I can say for sure is that this is a threat." Gohan said. Ponies started coming because, well, who wouldn't? The hatch door opened, and laid out on the ground. A guy with a box came walking from it. A hedgehog...? He put it down and it turned into a stereo system. "Ponieth of Equethtria, we come on behalf of the fearsome, the powerful, the almighty...Thtorm King!" He said. ... Banners were shown, at least. "Where's the king!?" Goten asked. "And now, to deliver the evil, evil methage, put your hooveth together for Commander Tempeeeetht!" The hedgehog yelled. There was multicolored mostly red smoke, and a unicorn emerged from the entrance. She's got no horn... It looks broken off, actually. Gohan kinda grinned... "Is that a unicorn...?" Twilight asked. "I think so, but what happened to her horn?" Spike asked. "You eight should stay back. You too, Goten." Gohan said. "But why?" Goten whined. "Because we both know you'll say the wrong thing and cause a fight." Gohan said. "...You win." Goten said. Everyone stepped back but Gohan. "Tempest, was it? I have to say, I'm impressed by your strength. What are you doing here? Do you need something?" He asked. "Oh, I'm so glad you asked. How about we start with your complete and total surrender?" Tempest asked. Goten was in the back laughing. ... "Yeah, no. I'm afraid I can't do that." Gohan said. "Ugh. And only one princess. At least this commander has some good magic. Here's the deal, princess and warrior. I need your magic. Give it up nicely, please, or we make it difficult for everyone!" Tempest said. "Well, I say that you should leave before I make it difficult for you." Gohan said. "Also, FYI: I don't possess magic." He added. "Bluffing won't help your cause." Tempest said. "You call my abilities magic... How funny. If I wanted to, this planet could be blown up by my hand. Or the moon... Or even the Sun." Gohan said. "Again, bluffing. Good thing is, I was hoping you'd choose difficult." Tempest said. Then the whole fleet of whatever the hell she had came. "You picked the wrong people to mess with. Heh. Goten! Let's do this!" Gohan said. "Super Saiyan style?" Goten asked. "Eh.... Yeah, sure, why not." Gohan said. "Super Saiyan, you say?" Tempest asked. Goten came to Gohan's side. The two turned Super Saiyan. "A hair color change? This is very riveting." Tempest said sarcastically. "And so is your fleet. I know you possess great strength, but you lack the strength to come toe to toe with us." Gohan said. "Yeah!" Goten said. He aimed his hand at a warship and fired a blue blast! BOOM! Ded. Not big surprise. Tempest seemed unfazed. The storm creatures fell and landed, roaring. The ponies all ran away. Gohan and Goten could handle it, right!? ...Right? They all charged at the brothers! ... They all piled on top, and... Uh... They formed a giant pile, but then there was just a ton of silence. ... "HAAA!" The two yelled, getting the useless foes off them. With a ton of aura! They all groaned and yelled as they fell. Tempest just laughed a bit. "Brilliant. You will do greatly for me..." Tempest said. She pulled out some sort of green crystal sphere, and did some ninja kick to it, straight at Gohan. But... PCHT! Gohan just caught it. "This dense ball has quite the energy." He said. Tempest grinned. "Now you're mine." She said. Green smoke everywhere! Tempest just started to cackle. ... "You fool! You let your guard down! Hah!" She yelled. More laughing. "I am not impressed anymore." Gohan said. Then she just stopped laughing. Shocked, even. The smoke died down. "W-What!?" She asked. "That is one impressive weapon. However, it's too weak for us." Gohan said. "I'm just gonna destroy the flying ships." Goten said. "Go ahead. I'll handle the big boss." Gohan said. Goten flew to the skies. "YAY! This is gonna be the best day ever!" He yelled. ... "I will let you escape with just a warning. Give up your evil ways, and we'll never have to fight again." Gohan said. BOOM! "Never." Tempest said. BOOM! "I honestly thought you could see the right way. I don't even need Super Saiyan for this fight." Gohan said. BOOM! Tempest just grunted as she kicked barrages of those weird smoke bombs. And what happened? Gohan swatted them all away as he just walked closer! ... BOOM! "Are you going to give up anytime soon? You have only until I get to you." Gohan said. She finally stopped using that useless move. "I suppose I'll have to fight it out with hoof-to-hoof." She said. "You've practiced martial arts?" Gohan asked. "Correct." Tempest said. "You and me both." Gohan said. Tempest jumped up, and dove down at Gohan. She threw a forehoof, which Gohan blocked with an arm. Then a continuous assault soon followed. Gohan hadn't fought back. He just blocked and narrowly dodged. "Who do you work for?" Gohan asked, flipping back for some distance. He fired a few very weak ki blasts. Tempest dodged them very narrowly before charging again. "I may as well tell you what will happen before you're taken down. I was sent by the Storm King." Tempest said, throwing all sorts of hooves. Gohan broke the entire assault in an instant with one uppercut. Tempest had a hard landing. "Urgh... How...?" She asked as she barely got herself up. "The Storm King is of no threat to us." Gohan said. Goten landed nearby. "Done!" He said. "Y-You took down our best fleet!?" Tempest asked. "Yep! They were really weak." Goten said. "I guess I'll say this one more time. Leave before I actually do something I regret." Gohan said. Tempest seemed incredibly angry before regaining her composure. "Fine. I surrender. It seems we have underestimated your strength. Equestria bears the strangest yet strongest of creatures..." She said. "Just so you know, we're not even from this planet." Gohan said, reverting back to base form. "Aliens... Heh. I suppose I will never be able to defeat you." Tempest said, slowly walking back to her ship. The hedgehog soon followed. "I will regain my horn one day. I swear." She said. "Your horn? You just wanted your horn back?" Gohan asked. Tempest turned around. "Of course I do. It was taken off by that accursed Ursa Minor..." She said. "You should've said so in the first place! Here, I have the instant fix." Gohan said, reaching into that pouch again. "A fix, you say...?" Tempest asked. "Ooh. This will get your horn back!" Goten said. Gohan tossed a senzu bean over to Tempest. She caught it in her hoof. "Eat it. You'll have your horn back in an instant." Gohan said. "And how would I know that?" Tempest asked. "You never know until you try." Gohan said. Tempest looked at that bean... And reluctantly ate it. Then, she felt rejuvenated... "What the...?" She asked, feeling her horn. "I...It's back...! It's back!" Tempest said. "I said you'd get it back." Gohan said with a smile. Tempest grinned. "I can't believe I was trying so hard for no reason. I won't need to work for the Storm King any longer. I can't thank you enough, Son Gohan." She said. "Oh. You know my name." Gohan said. "When you plan an attack, it's hard not to know your name. I will never forget this." Tempest said. "This has just been some random thing." Goten said. "It really has." Gohan said. The battleship closed and it flew away. The storms all went away... And like that... It's over. The Mane 6 just slowly walked up to Gohan and Goten. "Y'know, I expected that to extend into an even larger plot!" Pinkie said. "What?" Gohan asked. "What was her deal...?" Twilight asked. "She wanted her horn back in exchange for magic. I think." Gohan said. "She came to the wrong place." Goten said. "Well, you seemed to give her the what-for!" Applejack said. "I hope nothing that makes us go on a long adventure making friends to fight something in vain!" Pinkie said. "...What?" Rainbow Dash asked. *** Well, that's it. Mirror Magic and Forgotten Friendship is coming, don't fret. It's just that it's taking too long to create, and I need to give you something. There's like, four more stories before the real MLP Movie. Starring....... Ain't gonna tell you yet! Well, I guess you kind of know, but you really don't. Author's Note Sorry I have not posted, because I am going crazy because of life. Like I said, Mirror Magic and Forgotten Friendship is happening, but it was taking too long for me to add to the season, and I had to give you something to read. I am just really busy at the moment. Mirror MagicOn a lone planet restaurant, a squid had a ramen stand. Outside of that was a spaceship. The man from that spaceship was inside, ready to eat. He had yellow eyes, (no pupils) blue skin, and some sort of uniform on. "Here you go." The squid said, handing him some ramen. "Ahh, at last! Time to eat!" The man said. He started eating the ramen. "Aren't you on the clock?" The squid asked. "It's fine." The man said. "Well..." The squid said, looking at the spaceship. The man turned around. There was some sort of pink hydra with a cotton attached to string. It was in a container. "That? That's Watagash. It doesn't look it, but it's a diabolical wanted criminal." He said. "Diabolical!?" The squid asked. "Don't worry. It's already sealed away. It can't escape." The man said. It's cotton thing glowed blue and cracked the container. "This is no time to be taking detours, is it? Just take it to prison already." The squid said. "Even a super elite gets hungry!" The man retorted. BOOM! The lid of the spaceship blew open! The two looked over to see the pink parasite fly off into space! ... "Say, pops..." The man said. "Yeah?" The squid asked. "Can I say that you forced me to eat ramen against my will...?" The man asked. "...I'll report you." The squid said. *** If you know the events of Movie Magic... You know who's pissed off. Juniper! She finds a mirror enchanted with Equestrian magic, and realizes it's potential. She realizes it could be used for some... Stuff. *** Tonight was the premiere of the Daring Do movie! Everyone was going! Especially Goten, he thought Daring Do was overrated. You can just imagine how triggered Rainbow Dash and Twilight got... Well, you saw it. Anywho. The group were in some sort of food court. Gohan and Goten weren't allowed to order because... "You eat too much!" Twilight said. "None of us can afford y'all in here!" Applejack said. "But I brought money this time!" Gohan said. "Yeah!" Goten said. "What? No way." Pinkie said. Gohan reached into his orange shirt and pulled out money that was once bits. Needless to say, everyone was shocked. "Why didn't you bring bits from Equestria in the first place?" Sunset asked, knowing what he did. "Because it's practically counterfeit, but not really. If I bring too much of it, the economy would probably fall from inflation!" Gohan said. "Well, Gohan's the science and economics guy. Anything else you can do?" Rainbow Dash asked. "You'll find my views on many things to be surprising. Anyway! Eating time!" Gohan said, browsing his options. Goten followed. "I can never understand him." Applejack said. "He's like a half of Pinkie." Sunset said. "Yeah!" Pinkie said. Well, Sunset sat down at a table while her friends got food. She wrote to Twilight in her book. "Dear Princess Twilight, tonight's the night of the big movie premiere. All my friends are really excited, and I should be, too. Well, not Gohan and Goten. We just dragged him and Goten out here. I can't seem to keep my mind on anything other than our new powers, and the rogue magic that's loose in this world, and how scary but exhilarating it all is. I mean, it still stands no chance against the likes of Gohan. But I just found that I can heal people with my touch! How does it work? How can we be prepared for it? When will it show up again? Well, you see the problem. With the weight of all, or a lot of Equestria on your shoulders, you must have some advice on how to-" She wrote until she ran out of paper. "Oh no!" She said out loud. "Shoot." She said. Pinkie put down a tray of burgers. "What's wrong, Sunset Shimmer?" Pinkie asked. "You seem a bit stressed." Gohan said, holding bags from eight different restaurants. Goten only had four! "Oh, I just ran out of pages in my journal. That's all." Sunset said. 'Obviously that's not all.' Gohan thought. "Chillax, SunShim." Rainbow Dash said, sitting down at a table with Twilight with her meal. "'SunShim'?" Gohan asked, sitting down next to Sunset. "It sounds worse than my accidental nickname for her." He said. 'I thought calling her Sunny was a bit weird, but that's just dumb.' He thought. "Um, who's 'SunShim?'" Fluttershy asked, sitting down with a salad. "That's Sunset Shimmer's new movie star name." Rainbow Dash said, taking a sip of her drink. "I just made it up!" She said. "So what, did you make a gazillion names for us, too?" Gohan asked. "For sweet apples' sake, we only have BIT parts in this flick. We're not movie stars." Applejack said. "YET. Darling. Yet." Rarity said. "I wouldn't dream of being a movie star or any stuntman or whatever." Gohan said, taking a bite out of his sandwich. Before he started gobbling some more. "But you are..." Goten said, right before he dug in. *** "I'm gonna be a stuntman for the Great Saiyaman Movie!" *** 'I hope you don't end up becoming a disappointment.' Goku said. 'I hope not either.' Gohan thought as he ate. 'You did a great job acting, I just hope you don't turn into some weird guy. I'd be proud anyway, because I know you'll grow up to be a great hero.' Goku said. *** Great Saiyaman. That's it. No context needed. *** The other girls were talking about Sunset's book and whatnot, and the two kept talking. 'Thanks, Dad.' Gohan said. 'I just wish I could come out and be there all the time so we can do stuff. Like have a three way fishing competition, now that would be fun!' Goku said. 'What's the restriction?' Gohan asked. 'I'm technically erased out of existence. I don't know how, but I think my soul lived through you.' Goku said. 'That sounds weird... By the way, how did you get erased?' Gohan asked. 'I lost to someone really powerful. Pink, and mutated. His body... Everything was just weird and musclely and bulgy... I don't know how to describe him. No matter what I threw at him, even a Spirit Bomb didn't beat him!' Goku said. 'A-A Spirit Bomb didn't beat this guy!? I have a theory that this monster killed everyone on Earth...' Gohan said. 'Maybe. He said he wanted to exterminate all life in the universe.' Goku said. 'Then I hope I can beat this guy... A few people we beat before somehow came back to fight again.' Gohan said. 'Broly, and who else?' Goku asked. 'Everyone did at one point, because hell's gates were open. I had to beat someone in hell while Goten and the others defended Equestria.' Gohan said. 'Oh. So...?' Goku asked. 'Frieza came back from what I believe to be Namekian dragon balls...' Gohan said. 'Whoa! Really!? What happened?' Goku asked. 'Oh my gosh, he trained for four months and he was super strong! When I fought him, his power was too great for me! I couldn't land the Dragon Fist on him, either.' Gohan said. 'How'd you beat him?' Goku asked. 'I... Tried to self destruct.' Gohan said. 'Oh, I see. I guess you were too powerful for that to actually kill you.' Goku said. 'I lucked out, yeah. I hope this guy isn't as powerful as them, because I really want vengeance for them destroying mom!' Gohan said. 'Chi Chi!?' Goku asked. 'I think she was destroyed with you.' Gohan said. 'O-Oh... I... Oh...' Goku said, clearly distraught. 'Are you okay, Dad?' Gohan asked. 'I-I'll be fine, son. I'm just a bit... Surprised... Also really mad.' Goku said. 'Why do you have to stay in the necklace, though?' Gohan asked, changing the subject. 'I dunno. I guess it's my recharge. I can appear for a while, unless we're fighting because this runs on ki.' Goku said. 'Sounds very counter productive.' Gohan said. 'I don't know what that means either.' Goku said. 'It basically means it doesn't really sound useful.' Gohan said. 'Ohh. Okay.' Goku said. "Okay, I'm heading to Equestria!" Sunset said. "Sorry, I wasn't listening- For what purpose?" Gohan asked. "Princess Twilight wants me to come over and get a journal." Sunset said. "Oh, okay." Gohan said. Nearby, in the crevice of pots and unseen spots... A pink hydra was roaming quietly and unnoticed. *** Juniper was playing with her new mirror behind the counter of refreshments. Which reflected a weird reflection... It was as if she saw a famous version of herself. "It's like this mirror is the only one around here who gets me." She said. Then an irritable cleared throat came from behind. It was the manager, holding a broom. "Popcorn spill at the condiment counter." The manager said, handing it to her. "Does this look like someone who cleans popcorn spills?" Juniper asked with sass, showing the mirror to him. He saw only himself. "No. It looks like someone about to fire somebody." He said. *** "Ugh!" Juniper groaned as she went to the popcorn spill. She sighed angrily. "This is the worst!" She said, dropping the broom. Then she had an idea. Bad one, on paper. "Hey, I know what will perk me up! A little Mirror Me time!" She said, pulling out her mirror. It was reflecting her dreams... Fans wanting autographs, etc. "That's more like it!" She said, giggling. "I wish this popcorn would just clean itself up so I could just stare at you all day." She said. Wish granted. The mirror glowed and absorbed all the popcorn! "Whuh? Done already? I'm shocked." The manager said. Juniper giggled nervously. "You and me both!" She said. *** Sunset returned to Equestria! For the second time. And she was thrown into a pile of books by the portal this time. A pony, Starlight walked up to her. "Unh.... Princess Twilight...? Is that you?" Sunset asked as she regained her sight. "Nope! Starlight Glimmer." Starlight said. Sunset chuckled nervously before standing on her hindlegs by accident. "Oops... Heheh..." She said as she tried to walk around. She was tripping and stuff. "Uh... Maybe put your forehooves on the ground?" Starlight asked. "Actually..." Sunset said, starting to just float. "This is much easier." She said, shocking Starlight. She noticed her shock and changed the subject. "You're Twilight's student, right?" Sunset asked. "Uh-huh. She wanted me to give you these." Starlight said, using her magic to float three magical journals. One was for Twilight and Sunset, and two were for... "Why are there three?" Sunset asked. "There's one for you and Princess Twilight, and one for you and Gohan." Starlight said. "Oh..." Sunset said. "Well, here." Starlight said. She released them, assuming Sunset would take it with her magic, but... Instead she reached for them with her hoof. And Starlight dropped it. The two awkwardly smiled at each other. Sunset started to rub her hoof all over a book in an attempt to grab it. It had been way too long... Starlight pointed at her head as a hint... "That's right! Gohan's teachings!" Sunset said, not using what Starlight meant. She used her ki to lift the books into her backpack. With some strain, but she got it. Which confused Starlight. "Gohan's teachings? What do you mean?" Starlight asked. "He taught me telepathy without magic. And- Oh. That's what you meant... Oh." Sunset said. "Yeah. Anyway, she wanted to give it to you herself, but then she and her friends were called away to solve a friendship problem. That happens a lot around here." Starlight said. "Wait, if they were all called, why wasn't Gohan called too?" Sunset asked. "Apparently his kanji wasn't floating alongside the Cutie marks on the Cutie map." Starlight said, pointing at said map. Yep. His Kanji was the only exception. "Oh. Well, that must be stressful, huh? Never knowing when you might be called on to save the day. Dropping everything at a moment's notice. How does she do it? Wait, how does HE do it!?" Sunset thought. "What do you- Oh! You mean Gohan... Yeah, that is a good question." Starlight said. "An alien from space came and he had to beat him... And then a floating planet robot army came." Sunset said. "And I've seen him take on more monsters than anypony on this planet. Save Princess Celestia." Starlight said. "Well, anyway..." Sunset said. "She just told me to give you the journals." Starlight said. "Heheh... So, are you sure she won't be back anytime soon?" Sunset asked. "Oo...Kay, I guess I'll be going now." Sunset said, floating to the portal. But, Starlight had some questions... "What's it like back there?" She asked. "It's pretty different. It's a world full of people that look like Gohan, but usually taller and a bit slimmer. And also, they're exact copies of the ponies here. It's kinda hard to explain." Sunset said. "Heh. Guess you kinda have to go there to really get it, huh? I, uh, don't suppose..." Starlight said, hinting at something clearly obvious. "You really think Princess Twilight would be okay with that?" Sunset asked. "She let's Gohan and Goten through whenever they want. I doubt me leaving for a while would make her angry... Besides, I don't know for sure that she wouldn't be okay with it." Starlight said. "That's not a particularly compelling argument." Sunset said. "She wants me to learn as much as I can about friendship. And I'm not learning a whole lot just hanging out here in her castle." Starlight said. "...Well, I haven't ever seen you in that world. So chances are you aren't gonna run into yourself." Sunset said. "...Is something you don't hear everyday." Starlight said. "Gohan rams into himself four times at least once a week." Sunset said. "Why!? How do you even know that?" Starlight asked. "It's his cloning, silly! And also because he just does it RIGHT in front of us sometimes." Sunset said. "Plus, we're dating, so I know a lot more about him now." She added. 'More like nearly everything.' She thought. "You? Him? Seriously?" Starlight asked. 'How come he's been hiding this?' She thought. He really hadn't. "Yeah... To be honest, he didn't seem to return the feelings at first, but now he does." Sunset said. "Wow... I thought he'd be in love with a Saiyan or a Human." Starlight said. "That's exactly what happens over there. I become a human." Sunset said. "Really? This sounds interesting..." Starlight said. "How'd you two... Um, fall for each other?" She asked. "Well, I had this really huge crush on him after he stood up for me when I was framed. Oh my gosh, after that, he was just a lot more charming, cute, and everything in the book. I started to act nervous around him, and I even went to Princess Twilight about it. She was... Well, really excited to see it." Sunset said. "And what about Gohan...?" Starlight asked. "Well... You know the phrase, 'What is it called when your crush has a crush on you?'" Sunset asked. "No." Starlight said. "Its imagination." Sunset said. "Oh. Okay... So... He didn't like you back...?" Starlight asked. "Well, I guess. I told him, and he didn't understand. Once we... Well, kissed, he didn't know that we even kissed until I told him." Sunset said. "I thought he was smart...?" Starlight said/asked. "Well, he's super smart, no doubt about it. But he had no clue whatsoever about romance." Sunset said. "Oh. I can see that happening if his father has two kids yet doesn't even know what kissing is." Starlight said. "Yeah. Well, he's learning more and more. But now... Well, I don't want to speak for him, but he really likes me in that way." Sunset said. "Ooh... Have you two...?" Starlight asked with a smirk. "N-No!" Sunset said, blushing. "He's too innocent!" She retorted. Starlight giggled. "Okay then... If you really like him, you'll do it eventually." She said. "N-No! Some pe- po... Okay, some COUPLES don't do that until marriage." Sunset said. "Pfft. Like who?" Starlight asked. ... "Okay, you got me. But I'm not going to do that unless he wants to... Which I doubt he will." Sunset said. "Well, good luck. Tell me more!" Starlight said. "Later. Anyway, just lay low. Don't draw too much attention to your-" Sunset said, before Starlight scoffed. "You'll barely even notice I'm there!" Starlight said. "Introducing you to my friends could be a nice distraction." Sunset said. "But you'll also totally notice I'm there, and it will keep your mind off of other things that might be bothering you. So? What do you think? Can I go back with you!?" Starlight asked, giving her puppy dog eyes with hearts and sparkles and shit in them. Well, not actual shit, but- You get the point. *** The two were on the other side. Starlight groaned as she got up. "What happened?" She said, inspecting her hands. Then she saw the human Sunset. "It's all pretty weird at first, but try to roll with it." She said, helping the new Starlight up. Who struggled to stay standing. "Hi!" Sunset said to a passer by. Starlight inspected herself even more. "Are these...!?" She asked. "Hands." Sunset said. "And what happened to the rest of my hoo-" "Feet! Those are feet." Sunset interrupted. "Remember the whole thing where I said you need to lay low? Now would be a good time to play it cool." She said. "Oh. Right. Heh. Play it cool. Heheh." Starlight said. Then she started to trot on all fours... And a few people saw that... Sunset stood her up. And a few people passed by with some looks. "You did say I'd make a good distraction." Starlight said. "Okay, so, I'll fly you to the movie theatre to my friends, and we'll go from there." Sunset said, grabbing Starlight's hand. "Okay- AH!" Starlight yelped as they suddenly flew. *** The hydra creature, Watagash, was roaming behind the counter. Juniper sighed as she was filling popcorn boxes. "Stupid... What nut orders 15 orders of popcorn!?" She muttered. "That would be me." A voice came from behind. It was Gohan, Goten, and the rest of the Humane 7. "JUNIPER MONTAGE!?" Pinkie screamed. Juniper nearly fell over at that booming voice. "Oh, right." Gohan said. "How did you even hear me?" Juniper asked. "What in the blazes are you doin' here?" Applejack asked. "Were you invited to the Daring Do premiere? Ooh, that's exciting! No, crazy! No, concerning! No! Just-" Pinkie said, before Gohan put his hand over her mouth. "It's not that bad...! Unless she wants revenge or something." He said. "It kinda feels that way." Goten said. "It IS that way! I wasn't invited to the premiere. My uncle Canter Zoom felt bad for firing me, so he pulled some strings and got me this job." Juniper said. "You work here?" Fluttershy asked. "As little as possible." Juniper said. ... "Y'know, if you hadn't tried to sabotage the movie, you could be celebrating with us." Rainbow Dash said. "Rainbow Dash, don't use hindsight when it's clearly obvious... Unless she doesn't realize it SOMEHOW." Gohan said. Juniper groaned in anger and went from behind the counter to in front of it. "Ugh! This should be MY night! I would have found a way to be in the film if YOU all had stayed out of it! I would have been Daring Do! Everyone would've loved me! SEE!?" Juniper asked, showing off the mirror. There were just a bunch of confused looks. "What?" Everyone asked. "I do feel some sort of energy emanating from it." Gohan said. "She doesn't realize it, Gohan." Goten said. "Can't you see what's right under your noses? Ugh! I wish-" Juniper said, before... Suddenly... Her eyes glowed red for a moment, then she fell on her knees. "What?" Pinkie asked. "Are you alright?" Twilight asked. Juniper slowly stood up with closed eyes. And she seemed even more angry. 'A rise in power... But how? It's unnatural...' Gohan thought. *** A spaceship was soaring the cosmos. It had a radar... "Planet Equestria!? That's so far away! Ugh. Oh well. Maybe I can make a few pitstops... This is going to take a long time." The man said. *** "You know..." Juniper said, standing up again. "Uh..." Everyone said. She suddenly had an evil grin. And a pink cotton ball antenna popped out of her head. Her eyes were completely red. "I have the sudden feeling that I... Can take on anything!" She yelled, powering up immensely. She had this red aura. 'What the heck!?' Gohan thought. She had a few veins bulging out... She charged through the counter, putting a huge hole in it! Her blinding speed was too much for the rest of the Humane 7. She sequentially punched and kicked every single one away. They all had quite a hard landing, but not enough to create a ton of damage. Nobody happened to be nearby. But Gohan and Goten blocked her next attack! "W-What happened!?" Gohan asked. "She just got crazy strong!" Goten said. "I'm gonna tear you apart...!" Juniper said. The Humane 6 all got themselves up. "Oh that is it!" Rainbow Dash yelled. She instantly ponied up. "Let's play it on difficult!" She yelled, charging at Juniper. Juniper grinned. "Come at me!" She yelled. She raised her mirror up. "I WISH YOU'D ALL GO AWAY!" She yelled. "Uh oh." Gohan said. A huge gust of magic and wind came from the mirror. The Humane 6 were all sucked in! Juniper put the mirror in her view again. "Hmm. Looks like I may be finally getting the hang of this." She said with a red flash in her eyes. She picked up Fluttershy's butterfly barrette and put it on her vest. "You..." Gohan said. Juniper looked up, looking irritated. It was only Gohan. He had a pretty stern face. "I don't know what happened to you, but that doesn't protect you from my wrath." Gohan said. Juniper giggled... "Your wrath? I think I should put you in your place, boy!" She yelled. Nobody happened to be nearby. *** What the fuck kind of place is this? It's... A winter wonderland? There's no snow, but... "Uh... Any clue yet where we are or what just happened? Anyone?" Rarity asked. "I think we're in a mirror...?" Goten asked... Kinda. "Pinkie Pie's on the case!" Pinkie said. She first broke the fourth wall by changing the camera angle. "Nope, no wall over here. Come out, come out, walls, wherever you are!" She said, running away. Eventually she came back. Running in the same direction...? "I don't get this place!" She said. Gone again. Oop. She's back. "There's no walls in here anywhere!" She said. "You're adding to the nonsense... To be frank." Goten said. Then there was some sort of portal angled 78 degrees downward at the group. In the sky...? "Exit!" Goten said, flying up. "Somehow, some way, that dang Juniper sucked us all inside of that mirror of hers." Applejack said. "Or into some kind of limbo behind it." Twilight said. "I think I might be freaking out a little bit." Fluttershy said. "You call THAT a freak out?" Rainbow Dash asked. "I am internally... Especially at that." Fluttershy said, pointing at Goten. Speaking of whom... "What is going on?" He asked, suddenly teleporting back a few feet as he gets close to the portal thing. It's like Super Mario 64 with this shit. You can't access the final boss and if you try it won't work. Going up those stairs forever unless you get the stars- I'm rambling. "Uh... So we can't get out...?" Applejack asked. "I'm trying!" Goten yelled, turning Super Saiyan. "On the upside, there's popcorn in here!" Pinkie said, throwing that up and eating some. "Mmm... Sticky..." She said. "How could this happen on the evening of my very first movie premiere? Of all the nights! Curse you, cruel fate!" Rarity said. "Not our #1 problem right now, Rarity." Rainbow Dash said. "Mmm, true. But perhaps we can agree it's in the top five." Rarity said. Goten just gave up on flying. "Would blasts work?" He asked, throwing a ki blast. I... Pfft... The... The blast... It's just... Teleporting back and going forward in a vicious cycle. "Ooh! Hypnotic!" Pinkie said. "I give up. Gohan can get us out, right?" Goten asked, flying down. As he made it to the others' level... He fell through the floor...? "Uh..." Everyone said. Then he came back out of the sky. "Now I can't even stand!? What is this place!?" Goten asked. "Is there really no way out of here?" Applejack asked. Then fucking almonds came out from the portal, raining down on the seven. Various 'Ow!'S and 'Ugh!'s and 'Mmm!'s. The 'Mmm!'s came from Goten and Pinkie. What a surprise. Rarity just put up a diamond to defend herself. "What's that?" She asked. Goten and Pinkie were playing catch without their hands. Rainbow Dash just dodged and caught one. "Chocolate covered almonds?" She asked. *** "Oh come on! Why!?" Gohan asked, trying to reason with her. "I'm not listening!" Juniper said as she started sucking up almonds into her mirror. "I really don't want to solve this with violence, but I have no choice." Gohan said. *** Sunset and Starlight were in the mall, having ice cream. Sunset was calling everyone. "Six cell phones. All straight to voicemail." She said. "I'm sure they're around. What's the worst that could've happened?" Starlight asked. "Magic is on the loose here now, and it does not work the same way it does back in Equestria. Any number of terrible things could have happened." Sunset said before exhaling. "And lately, I spend eighty percent of my time thinking about them. My friends are probably fine. I'm overreacting. But maybe not. I can't tell anymore." She said. "This is the problem you wanted to talk to Princess Twilight about, right? Because you can still talk it over with me if you want." Starlight said. ... "Or you could just journal with Princess Twilight or Gohan about it. Whatever works." She added. "It's just... I know my friends and I have been given special powers for a reason, and I want to be ready for whatever is gonna be thrown at us. Gohan can't always be there for us, and I guess knowing that is making me feel like I could never really relax and let my guard down, so I end up obsessing about it and can't get out of my own head." Sunset said. "...Hmm... That's a toughie. Guess my advice would be to just trust things will work themselves out in the end. If you spend too much time worrying about the bad things that MIGHT happen, you'll miss out on all the good things that ARE happening." Starlight said. "You mean correcting Gohan on how to date?" Sunset asked sarcastically. "You have to do that?" Starlight asked, not realizing sarcasm. "Well, yeah, but that was a joke. Half the time it goes that way." Sunset said. "Really? Doesn't sound like the perfect boyfriend to me." Starlight said. "He's learning. If you saw it the way I see it, you'd understand." Sunset said with a smile. "Uwah!" "What was that?" Starlight asked. Even some bystanders looked around in confusion. Then, out of nowhere, Gohan was sliding backwards on his feet across the floor. With a little buffed up Juniper trailing him. He stopped beside Sunset and Starlight. "I said let go of my friends!" He yelled, jumping at her. The two's fists collided with each other. "It's Juniper Montage!" Sunset said. "No!" Starlight said dramatically before gasping. "...Who's that?" She asked seriously. Gohan just kicked Juniper to the side. Some people started taking pictures of this... Thing. "She's trouble. Huh. That's Fluttershy's barrette. Wait here for me." Sunset said, ponying up. Well, Starlight was just confused at that. Sunset flew into the brawl. She rammed herself into the... Sort of heteromorphisation Juniper. If that's even a thing. Whatever. Juniper didn't fall, but was knocked back a bit. And she smirked. "Sunset Shimmer! I was wondering when you would show up." She said. "What did you do to my friends!?" Sunset asked. "I won't tell..." Juniper said. "She has them captive in that magic mirror. And surprisingly got Goten." Gohan said. "Juniper, give me my friends back!" Sunset yelled. "Actually... I was thinking that you should join them!" Juniper yelled, aiming her mirror at the two. Then there was yet another huge gust of wind and magic. Gohan had to cover himself with crossed arms. And Sunset was pulled into the damn mirror. Starlight gasped, and so did everyone else. Now Gohan was at full rage mode. Not full... Well, let's say 40%? I mean, if he was at full, he'd go Super Saiyan- I'm rambling. He gave Juniper the sternest and angriest of looks. Juniper only giggled as her eyes glowed red for a moment. "I'm surprised you're still here... But I'm the strongest!" She yelled. 'I think she's possessed or something.' Goku said. 'Oh gee, I never thought of that- Of course I knew that! What is that thing sticking out of her head!?' Gohan thought. *** Everyone was just hanging around. Then... Sunset was hurled out of that portal. "Sunset Shimmer!" Twilight said. Everyone was excited to see her! ... They all helped her up. "Hooray! We're all together again! Except Gohan." Pinkie said, hugging Sunset. "How is he doing against her?" Twilight asked. Fluttershy noticed her pendant glowing. In fact, everyone's were. "Um... Everyone...?" She asked. "Holding back against her for no reason whatsoever." Sunset said as she ponied down. "Uh... Guys?" Fluttershy asked. "As to be expected." Goten said. "And Starlight Glimmer is out there too." Sunset said. "Girls." Fluttershy said a little more sternly. "You mean Twilight's student in Equestria?" Rarity asked. "How would SHE know where- Ohhhh!" Pinkie said, putting her elbow on Sunset's shoulder and giving her a grin. "...You didn't. She isn't...!" Twilight said. "Why not?" Goten asked. "I kinda told her she could come back here with me." Sunset said. "Everyone, please." Fluttershy said. Ugh. Nobody's listening to her because I am an evil person. "You really think Princess Twilight would be okay with that?" Applejack asked. "I don't know for sure that she wouldn't be okay with it..." Sunset said. "Which isn't a very compelling argument." Goten said. "Um, so sorry to interrupt, but-" Fluttershy said, before- "Whoa! Check out our geodes!" Rainbow Dash said. And they were glowing. Fluttershy sighed. "That's what I was trying to say." She said. "We'll put that as the fact in the book." Goten reassured. Then there were tremors and glows of lights randomly. "Something's changed. This wasn't happening before." Twilight said. "Maybe it's because all seven of us are together now." Sunset said. "But isn't Gohan a part of our necklace thingy?" Pinkie asked. "I think we found the substitute..." Rarity said, looking at Goten with fear. "What?" Goten asked. As it turns out, he was glowing black. He looked at his hands, and- "Oh, crapbaskets." He said. "Oh. You say that too." Sunset said. "Is this a good thing or a bad thing?" Applejack asked. Then everyone's necklaces (Goten had it just blasted from his body) blasted at the portal. And intensified the portal. "I'm going with not a good thing!" Rarity said. "And I was a Super Saiyan!" Goten said, losing the stamina to stay Super Saiyan. *** Some rainbow came from the mirror and went into Juniper, and she started glowing blue and growing gigantic. 'You have GOT to be KIDDING me. Was Goten a Super Saiyan!?' Gohan thought. Now she was... Well, transformed. The pink antenna was on her head, still. And she had some veins popping out... And red eyes. It's her fantasy self, I guess. Juniper looked into her mirror and herself. "Now everyone will recognize I'm a REAL star!" She said. People started screaming and somewhat running. I mean, it's not everyday you see a nine foot tall behemoth- Oh wait, that was a few weeks ago. Starlight kinda hid behind a bookshelf. Some people were taking pictures. Like fucking dumbasses. Juniper perceived that as photographers and news reporters and shit. She saw a boy and a mother, who SEEMED like they liked her, but were terrified as hell. "Want Mommy to take our picture together?" Juniper asked. The boy had an ice cream that he dropped. They got the fuck out of there! Then Juniper was kneed in the face. "Don't forget about the enemy in front of you!" He yelled as he punched her again. He kicked the mirror right out of her hand! It landed, and cracked a little bit. *** "So you've already tried flying?" Sunset asked. Then the weird realm they were in started cracking. "The mirror is breaking!" She said. "Brilliant deduction!" Twilight said sarcastically. "Oh come on, what is taking Gohan so long!?" Goten yelled. 'I really hope you know what you're doing, Gohan!' Sunset thought. *** Gohan dashed over to the mirror and picked it up. "Give that back!" Juniper yelled, trying to grab him. He jumped back. "No!" Gohan yelled. And he pulled down the skin under his eye and stuck his tongue out in an attempt to infuriate her. Which worked! Juniper tried ramming into Gohan only to ram into the wall. "I wish my friends and my brother were out of this mirror!" He yelled. ... He landed on the ground. 'It's not working.' Goku said. 'Oh gee, I didn't realize!' Gohan thought. 'Jeez! What got you so angry?' Goku asked. 'ARE YOU SERIOUS RIGHT NOW!?' Gohan asked. "Looks like you can't use it! Hah!" Juniper yelled. She grabbed a soda machine and hurled it at Gohan! Gohan sighed as he caught that with one hand and hurled it right back. He dashed alongside it. Well, Juniper was obviously confused. The two rammed into her, right into the wall. Gohan jumped back and fired a barrage of yellow blasts with one hand! He jumped back to try again. "Mirror, I wish that you brought Sunset Shimmer, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Son Goten, Applejack, and Twilight Sparkle back to this world!" He said. No response. Juniper yelled as she jumped out of the debris. "Give it back to me!" She yelled. "My friends and family are in it!" Gohan yelled. Then at that exact moment... A clip of Dance Magic JUST happened to play at that moment. And that made Juniper angry. "You and your FRIENDS stole my one chance at being famous!" Juniper yelled. "Is that what this is about!?" Starlight asked. The two turned their heads to Starlight. "Starlight Glimmer...?" Gohan asked. "Is fame really what you're after? Or is it something else!?" Starlight asked. Juniper groaned in frustration and grabbed a vending machine. "LIKE WHAT!?" She screamed, hurling it at her. Gohan quickly kicked the vending machine aside. "A friend...!?" Starlight asked. "Starlight, take this for a moment." Gohan said, handing the mirror over to Starlight. "Why would I need a friend!? I am at my strongest, and NOBODY CAN STOP ME!" Juniper yelled. Gohan made his yellow aura flare. "Okay, Juniper..." He said. He started running at her. "If you're at your full power, then maybe you should see mine!" He yelled, suddenly turning Super Saiyan. And his speed increased dramatically. "W-What!?" Juniper asked before she was elbowed in the stomach. She tried responding with a punch downward, but Gohan flew around and rammed into her side. He threw a barrage of punches, screaming that same thing as his father. "ATATATATATATA!" Just a lot more high pitched. He kicked her up towards the ceiling, but teleported behind her and performed an axe kick on her, sending her to the ground. But he didn't end it there. He teleported to the side of where she would land and kicked her to the wall! And then... "Kamehameha!" He yelled, firing the immense yet weakened blast. I mean, he went overboard with Super Saiyan, but... BOOM! Explosion! Well, that died down soon. Starlight soon walked to Gohan's side. "You did it!" She said. "Since when did you get here?" Gohan asked. "Er... I convinced Sunset Shimmer to take me." Starlight said. "Oh. Okay." Gohan said. The smoke finally died down and a very weakened Juniper was there. Well, the pink antenna was gone. And so was her transformation. She was regular old Juniper Montage. Struggling to stand up. The two felt bad... But... They walked up to her. She looked up at Gohan with fear and tears. "I... I-I..." She sobbed repeatedly. ... "Juniper... Do you understand?" Starlight asked. "Understand what!?" Juniper sobbed. "What you really want?" Gohan asked. "But... B-But who would want to be my friend!?" Juniper sobbed. "I'll be your friend." Gohan and Starlight both said. "Why!?" Juniper asked. "Because I understand you." Starlight said. "I also know how you feel." Gohan said. "We've had times in our lives where we wanted revenge." He said. "You think getting revenge would make you feel better, but it won't. You'll probably murder someone!" Starlight said. "Like I wanted to!" Gohan said. "You wanted to?" Starlight asked. "Who wouldn't?" Gohan asked. "Fair point." Starlight said. Juniper pondered. "I've already made too many mistakes. What I've done is... is... unforgivable." She said, sitting instead of being on her knees. "No, Juniper. I know they'll forgive you. But first, you have to set them free!" Starlight said, handing the mirror over to Juniper. Juniper took it. "It won't matter if you regain that strength. You can control it." Gohan said. "I..." Juniper said. "I wish I could make up for my mistakes!" She said. And like that... The seven were freed! And the mirror was a mirror again. And all the debris and damages were gone. Everyone got themself up. "Gohan! You did it!" Sunset said, giving him a big hug. Starlight giggled. "Half of it was the fight... The other half being Starlight convincing her." Gohan said. "And you had to go Super Saiyan?" Goten asked. "Oh, no. I just wanted to show her how serious I could get." Gohan said. Then some of the shoppers came back to look. "So much for laying low..." Starlight said. "That's mostly my fault for being explosive." Gohan said. "And your hair." Sunset said, rubbing that weirdly unchanged hair. "It's not it's natural color, I know." Gohan said. Then everyone turned to Juniper. And she had some talking and apologizing to do. "I'm so sorry..." Juniper said. "Don't worry. We've all been there." Sunset said. "Really?" Juniper asked, not buying it. Starlight raised her hand. "Manipulated an entire town into giving up their talents so they wouldn't think they were special." She said. "Overpowered by a magic I couldn't control and created a rift between two worlds, almost destroying both of them in the process." Twilight said. "Turned an entire school into my own personal zombie army in hopes of conquering a distant pony world." Sunset said. "Fighting an evil so great that I managed to gain immense power to stop him but I ended up torturing him like a sadist until he realized he could self destruct to destroy the planet, resulting in the sacrifice of my father and everyone wanting to kill me for it." Gohan said. ... Juniper was just surprised. "...Yeah, I don't think it counts for you, Gohan." Sunset said. "It does to me! That hurts me to this day." Gohan said. 'At least I don't care about dying five thousand times!' Goku said. "Wow! We are a REAAAALLY forgiving group." Pinkie said. "Except Gohan doesn't need it. He got it from everyone already." Rainbow Dash said. Everyone just laughed. *** Hangout in front of the damn portal. Why can't they just go to the park? Is that Twilight leaning against the portal but not going on? Huh? Well, the more confusing thing was, Gohan and Goten training. Or Goten really trying to beat the shit out of Gohan with nothing but failure. Gohan didn't want to do that since he just fought some huge weird evil thing. But, Goten was a feisty little one. So... While Juniper was laughing with Rainbow Dash and Pinkie, she couldn't help but wonder HOW THE FUCK GOHAN FUNCTIONS. Sorry. "What is that kid...? How does he do those blasts and stuff?" Juniper asked. "Gohan? He's a pretty cool guy." Rainbow Dash said. "He has super powers because he's a half alien. Or, a whole alien, to be realistic. We can do the blasts too! Watch!" Pinkie said, blasting a pink blast to the sky. "Oh... Uh... That's weird. And doesn't seem to make any sense..." Juniper said. "We stopped asking questions a long time ago." Rainbow Dash said. "What about his yellow hair?" Juniper asked. "Oh. That's Super Saiyan. Increases every ability of his tens of times over!" Pinkie said. "He even has Super Saiyan 2 and 4." Rainbow Dash said. "Then... What happened to 3?" Juniper asked. It sucks. Not really, but it's an asspull a little better than Ultra Instinct. "It's not a thing because Pinkie keeps insisting that it's Super Saiyan 4." Rainbow Dash said. "Because it's true!" Pinkie said. "Oh, right. Gohan." Sunset said. Goten stopped his attacking. "Yes?" Gohan asked. "Princess Twilight wanted me to give you this." Sunset said, giving him a book. It was a journal with Gohan's kanji '飯' and Sunset's cutie mark merged together. "What is it?" Gohan asked. "It's the same kind of journal Twilight and I have, but for me and you." Sunset said. "Oh. I guess that's good. Thanks." Gohan said. 'Kiss! Kiss!' Starlight thought. That didn't happen. 'Aww!' She thought. "I'm so sad to leave. I haven't really had the chance to get to know all of you. And to see Gohan be with his marefriend." Starlight said with a smirk. "What's a marefriend?" Everyone but Gohan, Goten and Sunset asked. "It's girlfriend over there." Gohan said. "Oh." Everyone said. "Maybe you don't have to leave yet." Sunset said, noticing that Twilight left a message. She opened the book and read it. "Dear Sunset, some lessons are better learned in action, and you girls are great teachers. Starlight should stay for a few more days. Enjoy the premiere!" "Well, I guess that works out. I'm also guessing that you're having a few slumber parties." Gohan said. "Yeah!" Pinkie said. "And Juniper's coming!" Fluttershy said. "Y-Yay!" Juniper said, a bit surprised. "And, uh... Gohan too, right?" Sunset asked Gohan. Well... He didn't really want to today... "Riiiight?" Sunset asked, nudging him with her elbow. "Uh... I-I don't know, I'm not really in the mood to sleepover again." Gohan said. "Oh, come on. It won't hurt!" Sunset said. "Do it for her." Starlight said with a wink. "How do you even know- Oh." Gohan said. "Sorry..." Sunset said. "I-Its okay, I don't intend to hide it." Gohan said. "I mean, you don't reveal it. Only I tend to get affectionate." Sunset said. "Uh... L-Let's just go to the premiere already." Gohan said, changing the subject. "Don't try to change the subject here, trying to hide it." Sunset said. "Oh, come on..." Gohan said. 'This is just cute.' Starlight thought. 'What is this?' Juniper thought. "Fine, I'll stay too." Gohan said. "Me too." Goten said. "This has gone way out of turn." Rarity said. "I like seeing this. I can't wait for the to-" "-NO!" Sunset interrupted Starlight, blushing. "It's just a joke." Starlight said, giggling. "What?" Gohan asked. "Don't ask." Sunset said. "But wha-" "-I said don't ask!" Sunset interrupted. "I can't wait to see you two all lovey dovey in the premiere." Starlight said. "Expect that." Rainbow Dash joked. "I am beyond confused as to why this is happening." Juniper said. "Let's just go...!" Gohan said, blushing and crossing his arms. Everyone laughed. At his expense, I guess. But eventually he laughed at himself. Nearby, Watagash roamed. He slipped into the sewage. Uh oh. We're fucked. Shadow PlayEveryone, including Gohan, Goten, the two princesses, Mane 6, Starlight and Sunburst were in Canterlot's throne room. Apparently Sunburst had brought some sort of book belonging to Star Swirl the Bearded. Celestia and Luna were reading it. "I've always wondered what happened to Star Swirl. This is quite a discovery, Sunburst." Celestia said. "So it's genuine? You can verify that this journal really belonged to Star Swirl the Bearded!?" Twilight asked with enthusiasm. "Indeed. From the looks of it, the last thing he wrote before facing the Pony of Shadows." Luna said, reading the book. "Uh... So, the Pony of Shadows was really real?" Rainbow Dash asked. "It appears so." Celestia said. "We never met the other Pillars, and we were too young to understand the danger they faced." Luna said. "Hold on a second now. All those legendary ponies were real, too? And they went off with Star Swirl to face the Pony of Shadows, and then none of them were ever heard from again?" Applejack said. "Uh, yeah. Weren't you listening?" Pinkie asked. "I've heard of the Pony of Shadows in theory, but now that it's real... Well, it can't be so bad now." Gohan said. "But what happened to them all?" Fluttershy asked. "They must have defeated the villain, since Equestria is still full of light and hope." Rarity said. "That wouldn't be the case without an alien or two. Or three, I guess." Rainbow Dash said. 'You told them about my intervention?' Goku asked. 'I'm surprised you know that word. Yeah, I did.' Gohan said. "Well... Eh... I wouldn't be around if you hadn't taken care of me, so... It's you guys?" Gohan asked. "Don't make us seem like saints." Applejack said. "Can we change the subject?" Goten asked. "Where did they go?" Starlight asked, doing just that. "My Olde Ponish is a bit rusty, but I wonder if the answers can be found somewhere within the pages of this book." Celestia said. "Olde Ponish! I love Olde Ponish!" Gohan and Twilight happened to say excitedly at the same time. "You studied Olde Ponish?" Everyone but Goten asked. "Does that actually come as a surprise to you all?" Gohan asked. "...Actually, it shouldn't." Fluttershy said. "I guess we have two Olde Ponish experts in here! But I've memorized every one of Star Swirl's ancient texts!" Twilight said. "Same here." Gohan said. "Oh yeah?" Twilight asked with a smirk. "Oh, now you've done it!" Rainbow Dash said. *** "Huh. I guess you were right." Twilight said. "That was torture." Rainbow Dash said. 'I'm sorry, what just happened? I don't speak spaghetti.' Goku said. "With a brain that can perceive actions exponentially faster than anypony, it should really come as no surprise." Luna said. "I study a lot." Gohan said. 'Just like Mom would've wanted me to!' He thought. 'You mean not turn into... I think she called me a delinquent. Yeah, a delinquent?' Goku asked. 'Exactly.' Gohan said. "We have fond memories of our old teacher. If you could discover what happened to him, we would be most grateful." Luna said. "Solving a thousands-year-old mystery could take forever! Think of the research! The re-reading! The re-re-reading!" Sunburst asked with enthusiasm with the reading. "I know!" Gohan, Twilight and Goten said, squealing like little girls. "You might find you need help." Celestia said. "Luckily, she's got a whole bushel o' helpers right here." Applejack said. "Totally! Uh... how long will all this research take, exactly?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Well, according to my-" "NO! In English!" Rainbow Dash said. "About nineteen-" "In French!" Rainbow Dash interrupted, trying to get him to shush. "Vu la taille de sa bibliothèque, les vitesses de mon frère et de moi, et la vitesse moyenne d'un poney, cela devrait nous prendre environ dix-neuf minutes." Gohan said. ... Everyone around him was just shocked. "...What? I gave her the translation." Gohan said. "I didn't expect you to speak French!" Twilight said. "My last Christmas apart from killing Santa with my dad, Piccolo, ~~my real dad~~ and my other friends consisted of reading Moby Dick in French. Before that my mother made me learn more eight languages." Gohan said. "What eight?" Twilight asked. "No!" Everyone else except Gohan and Goten yelled. "Tell me when we get home." Goten said. 'Me too! I forgot that you learned that much.' Goku said. *** Now they were at the Temple of Ponhenge. Well, everyone excluding the two princesses. Twilight was carrying the book which had the answers. And Goten found it! And Gohan managed to read the sloppy writing. "This is Ponhenge?" Goten asked. "Think of it as the mountain dad used to go fishing on when he was your age." Gohan said. "What kind of dad does that!?" Rainbow Dash asked. 'This one! I used to think women had weiners.' Goku said. 'Irrelevant.' Gohan said. 'I don't know what that means, but I feel hungry for the first time.' Goku said. 'Speaking of which... Same here.' Gohan said. 'Huh. I guess it runs on your hunger.' Goku said. "I've never seen magical runes like these before! Have you?" Sunburst asked. "Uh-uh." Twilight said. "I don't think anypony's seen any of this for a LONG time." Rainbow Dash said, trying to pull off a vine. She failed and landed in a bush. Applejack pulled her out. "It'd take a whole team of ponies to clear away all this brush." She said. Goku was internally laughing. "I mean, we do have them." Pinkie said, pointing at the family. "I'm not sure we'd find out what happened here over a thousand years ago." Fluttershy said. "I agree. If we just move stuff around, we might not even find anything new. We might even destroy evidence." Gohan said. Twilight put her book on one of the runes. "You're right. I suppose it was a long shot." She said, suddenly giving up. "I guess I hoped we'd get here and the mystery would just magically be explained." She said. Then her book started glowing. Then it opened and Star Swirl the Bearded came out of it! A projection, really. "Star Swirl!? I... I've wanted to meet you my whole life! I can't believe you're here!" Twilight fangirled. "I don't think he's really there... It's probably an illusion or a projection." Gohan said. "I don't think any of them are!" Sunburst said. Then ponies started appearing on all the runes. Then Star Swirl blasted his horn at the middle, creating... The Pony of Shadows!? He laughed evilly. "You summon me at your peril, Star Swirl! Once I defeat all of you, this realm will embrace the darkness as I did so long ago!" He yelled before roaring. All the ponies backed away, but the Saiyans looked closer in astonishment. The other ponies were caught in some sort of rope. And they struggled to even stand... "Drawing me here will only make me stronger. You will never defeat me!" The Pony of Shadows said. "We did not come here to defeat you." Star Swirl said, breaking the rope, or vine, actually. He used a projection of Twilight's book to free everyone else. The items they held were glowing, and formed a gem. "What... What are you doing!?" The Pony of Shadows asked. "We came to contain you." Star Swirl said. They all rose, and the Pony of Shadows yelled and then they all blew up and then the various items fell and then they cracked into nothing. Confused yet? ... "Well, you did ask for a magical explanation." Pinkie said. "Uh... What just happened?" Rainbow Dash asked. "It looked like Star Swirl cast a spell that banished the Pony of Shadows." Starlight said. "Of course! Powerful magic like that would leave an impression on this place. Bringing the book back here let us see what happened." Sunburst said. "Which was what?" Applejack asked. "Star Swirl and the rest of the Pillars sacrificed themselves to save Equestria." Twilight said. *** Back at Twilight's castle... "It's amazing to think one of the greatest mysteries of Equestria was solved with a musty old book from an antique shop." Starlight said. "It's amazing to think anyone can fly without wings." Rainbow Dash said. "And be faster than-" She said, before Gohan covered her mouth. "We already went over this. You are faster." He lied. "Then what happened here just a few hours ago!?" Sunburst asked. "I can read faster, but travel speed is more her thing." Gohan said. "I know I've finished one of Star Swirl's spells before, but this one was on a whole different level! Was it an explosion of magical feedback? An evocation? A kind of incantation? It's Star Swirl, so the possibilities are endless! And once Gohan set me on the right track with his crazy hornwriting-" Twilight said before laughing and snorting. "I mean, he was a genius, so I guess we can forgive a little messiness- I went through the journal again, and it's amazing!" She said. "Twilight, darling. We understand you're excited, but that's all we understand." Rarity said. "What exactly is so amazing?" Rainbow Dash asked. "What!? Only how Star Swirl and the other Pillars sent the Pony of Shadows to limbo!" Gohan said. "They did what now?" Applejack asked. 'I remember when Master Roshi was sent to limbo.' Goku said. Twilight and Gohan pulled out a tiny replica they happened to make of the runes. "They used their magic to open a portal between worlds, to limbo, and pulled the Pony of Shadows inside." Twilight said, making the diorama explode. "Your diorama!" Rarity said. "We made more!" Gohan said, pulling out yet another. "They're over there, too." Twilight said, pointing at the arts and crafts Picasso. "Star Swirl thought the only way to trap the Pony of Shadows in limbo was for the Pillars to take him there." She said. "So they got stuck, too!" Applejack said. "The Pony of Shadows must have been really awful for them to do that." Fluttershy said. "I suppose being trapped for all time with a super-duper bad guy in limbo might be okay if you were doing the limbo, but that's still pushing it." Pinkie said, doing the limbo. "The thing is, I think I can get them out." Twilight said. "Twilight, are you serious? You can save the most legendary ponies of all time?" Sunburst asked. "I-I don't know. Opening portals between worlds didn't work out well for me. Are you sure it's safe?" Starlight asked. "First of all, you opened portals through time. And second of all, Star Swirl wrote the spell you used to do it. If he'd been here, he could have stopped it. Equestria would be safer with him in it. We have to save him." Twilight said. "I'm all for that, but at the same time, I don't know if that's a good idea... I mean, the Pony of Shadows can't be that bad for Goten and I, but I really don't wanna deal with that." Gohan said. "You'd be savin' ALL the Pillars, right? A-And they disappeared ages ago." Applejack said. "That's the thing about limbo. It isn't one place or another. It's in between, so time stands still. If we can pull them out, it'll be like they never left. I actually built a model to demonstrate-" Twilight said, before Rainbow Dash groaned and smashed her head on the table. "What can we do to help?" Spike asked. "If I'm right, we need to find items that are connected to the Pillars in some way." Twilight said. "You mean, like, stuff that belonged to them?" Rainbow Dash asked. "How would we know what to look for? Or where?" Fluttershy asked. "Luckily, Star Swirl took a lot of notes. And I memorized them! 'My compatriots are as varied as the realm itself and hail from every corner of our land, bringing with them artifacts and talismans of great power.'" Gohan said. The there was a glow above Gohan and Twilight that they didn't notice. "Um... Gohan? Twilight? What are you doing?" Starlight asked. Everyone looked up to see lights with items in them. Those items fell to a part on the map. ... "I guess we don't need to figure out what to get. And who to get them." Twilight said. Gohan groaned for a moment, but perked up. "Goten?" He asked. "Alright!" Goten said. Those two were out faster than you can say hi. *** "Oh! You're back." Twilight said. Gohan and Goten carried various items in their hands. "Ugh. We had to do a lot to just get these, dang it!" Gohan said. "Like what?" Starlight asked. "I do not want to go into detail, there was something as nifty as trimming bushes and extreme as lava surfing." Gohan said. "Okay, that sounds awesome." Rainbow Dash said. "I nearly fried myself." Goten said. *** They were back at the runes... "I can't believe I'm going to meet Star Swirl the Bearded! I mean, outside my dreams." Twilight said. "I can't believe you're actually going through with it." Starlight said. "What do you mean?" Twilight asked. "I'm all for pushing the envelope, obviously, but this is pretty out there for you, Twilight." Starlight said. "What's "out there" about saving the most legendary ponies of all time from a thousands-year-old prison?" Sunburst asked. "Well... nothing when you say it like that. Unless "the most legendary ponies of all time" knew what they were doing, and we shouldn't mess with it." Starlight said. "I'm sure Star Swirl and the Pillars did the best they could back then, but magic has come a long way. Mostly because of the work they did." Sunburst said. "That's true. And you did get your wings from finishing one of Star Swirl's spells." Starlight said to Twilight. "Exactly." Twilight said. "But then I messed with one and nearly destroyed the universe, so..." Starlight said. "Well, more like the world. The universe is a bit of a stretch." Gohan said. "Starlight, Star Swirl the Bearded is the greatest wizard who ever lived. The chance to have him back in Equestria is worth the risk." Twilight said. "That's good news." Spike said. "Otherwise, ALL THIS STUFF WE BROUGHT... Would go straight to waste." Gohan said. "Yep! Let's do this!" Twilight said. The unicorns and alicorn blasted their magic into the book! The gem was formed again, and all the items flew into the sky. A flash of light, then a bunch of ponies and boulders fell from the sky! So Goten did freestyle ki blasts with his hands and feet to blast the boulders... Y'know, to save the ponies. And the rest of the Mane 6 caught the ponies before they fell to their doom. They were all standing. "What... What has happened...?" Star Swirl asked. "It worked! We brought you back!" Twilight said. "To where?" Star Swirl asked. "You and the others have been trapped in limbo for over a thousand years, but we figured out how to get you ho-" "What!?" Star Swirl interrupted Twilight. "No, no, no, no! You must undo what you've done!" He said. "What? Why? I mean, I don't think I can." Twilight said. "You cannot bring us back!" Star Swirl said. "But I did. I brought all the Pillars back." Twilight said. "Uh... Twilight? I don't think that was the only thing you brought back... Which is what I meant earlier." Gohan said. There was some smoke forming in the center... And it molded into the Pony of Shadows! Who cackled. "Oh no!" Twilight said. The Pony of Shadows cackled. "Your pitiful attempt to imprison me has failed, Star Swirl!" He said. Star Swirl tried blasting him, but had no magic to use. He was tapped out. "You must return us to limbo. It's the only way to stop him." Star Swirl said. "I only figured out how to bring you back." Twilight said. "Working on it! No table of contents!" Sunburst said, looking through the books. "Allow me to assist." The Pony of Shadows said. He sent spikes everywhere! Everyone managed to dodge. But the book... Was stabbed into a rune. He exploded them all! Now there was half a book. More like 56.7826%, but... "There! Without the power of Ponhenge, your banishing spell is useless!" The Pony of Shadows said. "Please, tell me you have any form of backup!" Star Swirl pleaded to Twilight. "I got just the guy!" Twilight said, pointing at Gohan. Gohan sighed... "Not on my watch!" He said, smashing his fist into his palm. "You can't! Monkeys don't possess magic!" Star Swirl said. ... "You know, Gohan is like, the one who defeated Nightmare Moon with us, Discord, Tirek, Frieza, and a number of other things." Rainbow Dash said. "Wait! I want a turn!" Goten said. "What?" Gohan asked. "Rock paper scissors?" Goten asked. "Fine." Gohan said. "I can't believe that the world is in danger and they're playing Rock Paper Scissors to see who gets to save it." Starlight said. "At this point, they don't even have to try." Applejack said. "I win!" Gohan said. "Aww!" Goten said, walking back. "Is a mere monkey planning to stop me!?" The Pony of Shadows asked. "This Saiyan/Human hybrid is GOING to stop you." Gohan said, facing him. "Don't make me laugh!" The Pony of Shadows yelled, firing black magic at Gohan. Gohan yelled as he uppercutted it into the sky! He wasn't done there, he aimed his palms at the Pony of Shadows and fired a powerful blast! He yelped. "This monkey... He can't be this strong...!" He said. "It's stronger than Star Swirl...!" He said. "Extraordinary! What form of magic is this!?" Star Swirl asked. "It isn't magic." Twilight said. "It's a little something called ki." Goten said. "Life energy? What tremendous life energy..." Star Swirl said, actually understanding it. "Tapped out? My turn." Gohan said, jumping at the Pony of Shadows. Oh damn. I mean, DAMN! "ATATATATATATATA!" And he was just getting the crap beaten out of him. Like... I feel bad. "H-How...!?" Star Swirl asked. Gohan ended his tiny yet enormous assault. "Had enough? Surrender, and you won't face death." He said. "Even in my weakened state... He managed to stop the might of Shadows..." The Pony of Shadows said, barely standing. "But I'm not done! Hrrragh!" He yelled, firing more black magic at Gohan. Gohan extended a palm and calmly fired a blue blast. It ripped through the black magic and got a direct hit on him! Made him backflip over, if you can believe that. "Know this, fiend! We will not rest until we find a way to return you to limbo!" Star Swirl said. "Or take you to the place you belong!" Goten said. "Where's that?" Star Swirl asked. "Hell." Gohan said. "Hell?" Star Swirl asked. "We'll talk later." Gohan said. The Pony of Shadows growled. "Never! Your days of glory are through, Star Swirl. Now my dark power will reign, and you six will bow to me!" He yelled, teleporting away. Rainbow Dash and the other Pegasus, Flash Magnus flew up to the sky. "Uh... Where'd he go?" Rainbow Dash asked. "He escaped. Darn. I guess you have a go at him next time, Goten." Gohan said. "That is a riddle we must unravel. And quickly." Somnambula, the Egyptian one said. "How long have we been gone?" Mage Meadowbrook asked. "Then my spell worked- BEFORE it was meddled with. And the realm has been at peace for a millennia!" Star Swirl said, giving Twilight the evil eye. Twilight hid under her wing in shame. "No it hasn't." Gohan said. "What do you mean?" Star Swirl asked. "Are you kidding? Enemies from not just this planet, but even space came here and threatened order!" Gohan said. "I mean, half the time this kid had to clean up the mess, BUUUT... There was Nightmare Moon, Discord, Chrysalis, King Sombra, Tirek, Frieza, everyone from hell, Janemba, Super Janemba, more, more, and I don't know what else on the other side!" Pinkie said. "You mean to tell me Discord and Lord Tirek were taken down by this creature!?" Star Swirl asked. "What are the names of these two creatures? They look quite adorable." Mage Meadowbrook said, squishing Goten's cheeks. "I'm Goten! And this is my big brother, Gohan!" Goten said, patting Gohan's shoulder. "We're Saiyan/Human hybrids." Gohan said. "Gohan and Goten... Have you ponies played a part with their crazed adventures?" Star Swirl asked. "Somewhat. I mean, a few times we ended up making it worse for them, but against Nightmare Moon... Yeah, I guess." Twilight said. "If you are truly this accomplished, we will stop the Pony of Shadows twice as fast together." Flash Magnus said. "Or with just us." Goten said. "We shall see. It is an easy thing to SAY you have saved the world. It is quite another to do it." Star Swirl said. "Pfft. Gohan's saved the world more than you can handle, Beardo!" Rainbow Dash said. "Eh... P-Please don't brag on my behalf..." Gohan said. "Galactic tyrant from space, practically his entire army, a weird monster in hell, a giant phantom Majin that was summoned again, and... Well, Discord. I mean, I don't want to list everything." Starlight said. "Be that as it may, the problem of locating the Pony of Shadows remains, and this land is vast." Star Swirl said. "I can't sense him either. So that's ruled out." Gohan said. "Oh. So... What do we do?" Twilight asked. "I got it. Travel every square inch of the land until we find him!" Goten said. "That would take a long time, even with everyone's speed! There's also the possibility he can just hide in a shadow?" Gohan said. "How long, exactly?" Star Swirl asked. "Approximately-" "-NO!" Rainbow Dash yelled. Gohan crossed his arms and pouted. *** "We have this map to use." Rarity said. Everyone was at the Castle of Friendship. At the Cutie map. "Something about this magic seems familiar..." Star Swirl said. Star Swirl used his magic and made the Harmony Tree appear on the map. Everyone was surprised and amazed. "Did you know he can do that?" Rarity asked. "He's Star Swirl! He can do anything! Well, almost anything." Twilight said. "This map, and indeed this very castle, are grown from the seed we planted over a thousand years ago." Star Swirl said. "Then it DID work!" Rockhoof said. "What worked?" Sunburst asked. "Each of us infused a crystal seed with our magic in hopes that it would grow into a force for good." Somnambula said. "We wanted to leave something to protect the realm in our absence, but we never dreamed our gift would become so powerful." Mistmane said. 'Powerful... Eheheheh!' Goku laughed. 'To them it is, dad.' Gohan said. "So the Elements of Harmony came from y'all?" Applejack asked. "That's pretty amazing. Such power just from one seed." Gohan said. 'Yeah, I know. I made two~!' Goku joked. 'What are you- Oh, you're sick!' Gohan said, understanding the vulgar joke. Goku was internally laughing. 'Don't worry! Heheh... You'll make one too! Hahahah!' He laughed. Gohan facepalmed out of nowhere. "Uh... Are you alright?" Mistmane asked. "Sorry, lamenting." Gohan said. "That doesn't sound very good." Twilight said. "My father." Gohan said. "Oh. Nevermind." Twilight said. They all knew of Goku's stupidity. Goku said so, anyway. "Anyway... What are these 'Elements' you speak of?" Star Swirl asked. "You know, the sparkly crystal things that grow from the Tree of Harmony and represent each of us? Laughter, honesty, generosity, loyalty, kindness, and magic!" Pinkie said, acting it all out with all the other ponies. "Then... What do I represent?" Gohan asked. "Uh... Strength?" Pinkie asked. "I really don't know." Twilight said. "What are you talking about?" Star Swirl asked. "They are reflections of our own elements of hope, strength, beauty, bravery, healing, and sorcery. Only six." Somnambula said. "Then how come I ended up being the seventh?" Gohan asked. "Perhaps your friendship with us sparked a new one?" Rarity asked. "I guess it could represent all but magic...?" Twilight asked. "I don't know. What do you think?" Gohan asked his brother. "I think it does!" Goten said. "I think we can all agree." Rarity said. The Mane 6 all promptly agreed. "Then that's settled, then..." Gohan said. "We had no idea our small seed would bloom into the living spirit of the land. I am glad our mantles have passed to such capable ponies." Made Meadowbrook said. Then she looked at Gohan. "Well, ponies and Saiyan/Human." She said, actually memorizing that. Goku was internally snickering. 'Dad...!' Gohan said. "More importantly, we no longer need Ponhenge to send our foe back to limbo. We can use the stored magic in this Tree of Harmony." Star Swirl said. "But doesn't a banishing spell take a lot of power? We'd have to sacrifice the Elements for that." Twilight said. Star Swirl nodded in response. "They'd be gone... Forever?" Fluttershy asked. "Star Swirl, I don't think the Tree can survive without the Elements. If it dies, Equestria will suffer." Twilight said. "If the Pony of Shadows has his way, your land will not exist. So unless you have a better idea..." Star Swirl said. "Uh, we do." Rainbow Dash said. Goten jumped up onto the table. "It's my turn next!" He said. "Oh, right. I forgot." Star Swirl said. "Our foe will seek dark places from which to draw power." He said. "Then... We need to find a place secluded in darkness." Gohan said. "It seems there are fewer dark corners in the realm these days." Star Swirl said, marking places on the map. "I know I studied on the geography of Equestria, but I can't really think of many dark places other than caves." Gohan sad. "I remember that there was a place really dark! It was right around the corner of Foal Mountain...?" Goten asked. "How are we going to find him? We don't have the time in the world to search every cave and find every dark place imaginable!" Sunburst said. Twilight pondered... And didn't realize her cutie mark was glowing. "Twilight? The thing is happening again." Gohan said, happening to be glowing yellow. The Mane 6 all looked at their cutie marks, and they were all glowing. The marks on all the seats flew up and circled Twilight's mark. Yes, including the kanji. They all floated to the Hollow Shades... Goten snapped his fingers. "That's where I was talking about!" He said. "The Hollow Shades. I think a branch of the Apple family lives there." Applejack said. "They'd have to be pretty distant. The Hollow Shades was abandoned eons ago." Sunburst said. "Hmm, that's odd. The only time the map's called all of us to one place was Starlight's village." Rarity said. "So it's like a super-villain tracker!" Rainbow Dash said, then realized Starlight was there. "No offense." She said. Starlight just raised an eyebrow. "The only other place the map sends me to is the other world." Gohan said. "I find that hilarious." Twilight said while giggling. "Do you think the map could be trying to tell us where the Pony of Shadows is?" She asked Star Swirl. "Well, obviously. Unless there's a pony there with a Friendship problem." Gohan said. "Hmm... The Tree of Harmony acting to protect the light of the realm... Yes. A good thought, Twilight." Star Swirl said. She squealed in response since she's a fan girl. "Ready yourselves for battle." Star Swirl said. "Already done!" Goten said. "Uh, I know I'm not as experienced as all of you, but is ending him really the only option? I mean, it's been a long time. Maybe the Pony of Shadows is ready to talk?" Starlight asked. "That's actually something I hadn't thought of. Maybe he's misunderstood." Gohan said. "I doubt we can save our homeland with a conversation." Star Swirl said. "Wouldn't be the first time..." Starlight said. "Starlight, I'm sure Star Swirl and the others did try." Twilight said. "The Pony of Shadows was not interested in reconciliation. Once a villain, always a villain." Star Swirl said. "Hey... That's not true!" Gohan said. "Whatever do you mean?" Star Swirl asked. "We know tons of evil people who are good now! Well, they're dead, but still good!" Goten said. "Like who?" Star Swirl asked. "Tienshinhan used to be a con artist and tried to kill our father, but they became friends and fought evil... Piccolo tried to rule the world, and tried protecting it until he died... Vegeta, or Trunks' dad tried blowing up the planet but then protected it until he died... Yadda yadda." Gohan said. "Then there's Discord, who doesn't use chaos on Equestria anymore." Twilight said. "I'm sorry, who are all these ponies? Except Discord, I know him." Star Swirl said. "Oh, it's our old friends." Goten said. "I see... I'm sorry for all your losses." Star Swirl said. "Thanks. But, I was saved! They tried so hard..." Goten said. "What do you mean?" Mage Meadowbrook asked. "That's a story for another day." Gohan said. "...You two are just raising more questions the more you speak." Star Swirl said. "That happens a lot." Gohan said. "It actually the more they do things rather than talk." Twilight said. "So... Did you know the Pony of Shadows before he became what he is now?" Starlight asked. "Yes, we did. Stygian was the name he abandoned before taking the form of which he is now." Star Swirl said. "Stygian was a pony like the rest of us, though more scholar than hero. He recognized our emerging world would need champions to defend it." Rockhoof said. "He may have gathered us together, but he himself was just an ordinary unicorn who soon grew jealous of our abilities." Flash Magnus said. "He stole objects from each of us. Artifacts to use in a spell." Mistmane said. "And we cast him out for it." Mage Meadowbrook said. "We always thought he'd return and seek forgiveness. But when we saw him again, his heart was bent on revenge. He dashed even MY hope of saving him." Somnombula said. "But why did he steal the artifacts from you?" Starlight asked. "No doubt it was an enchantment to take our powers for himself." Mage Meadowbrook said. "So, we can't talk the Pony of Shadows out of doing evil?" Starlight asked. "It is impossible." Star Swirl said. "But the map only calls us to locations for Friendship problems, not a villain locator." Starlight said. "In a sense." She added. "He wanted more power than he had, and that desire led him down a path from which there is no return! Evil!" Star Swirl said. "We just established that that isn't true." Gohan said. "But this case is different! He turned on us." Star Swirl said. 'Like I don't know THAT feeling.' Gohan thought. "Then... I guess it's decided." Twilight said. "Well, then. Let's go! Grab on!" Gohan said, putting two fingers to his forehead. "Er... How will we get there if we grab on to you?" Star Swirl asked. "Teleportation." Gohan said. "Oh, I see. But... How?" Star Swirl asked. "I know where the Hollow Shades are." Gohan said. "Oh. I see." Star Swirl said. "Do you even want to come?" Gohan asked. "We will spectate for our own reasons." Star Swirl said. *** Hollow Shades. Desolate, full of abandoned homes and dear God what is that view? "I don't remember reading anything that said the Hollow Shades was like this." Sunburst said. "Ohhh. The Pony of Shadows must have twisted it to his purposes." Mistmane said. They traveled inward. 'There's a power level below you.' Goku said. "You can sense that?" Gohan accidentally said out loud. "Sense what?" Twilight asked. "Oop. Sorry. Talking to myself." Gohan said. 'Uh... You might wanna move out of the way.' Goku said. The ground beneath them crumbled... Cracks appeared, and the shaking got louder. Then everyone fell! *** Well, lookie here! A labyrinth! Oh, and everyone helped each other up. "I definitely would've remembered reading about this." Sunburst said. Then evil laughter was heard. "That's your cue, Goten." Gohan said. Goten stepped up to the plate. Not literally, but you know. Smoke formed in front of them. More laughter... Star Swirl put up a barrier in retaliation. "Oh, no. Allow me." Gohan said. He just barely moved to create a yellow barrier. "Oh... Okay." Star Swirl said, putting down his flimsy defense. And the a small portion of the smoke turned into the Pony of Shadows. "Welcome to the Well of Shade! When you turned your backs on me, I discovered this place. The darkness spoke to me of a power beyond any I could imagine, and I listened. The shadow and I became one. Soon, all of the realm will be the same. Then all ponies will feel the despair I did when you cast me out!" He said. Then he looked at his challenger. "A baby monkey is now wanting to do battle with me? Hah!" He said. "We did what we had to do. You tried to steal our powers for yourself." Star Swirl said. "No! It was YOU who were selfish! And now you will pay!" The Pony of Shadows yelled, firing even more powerful black magic. Goten jumped up to kick it towards the wall. "You still won't beat me!" He yelled. He flew over to the Pony of Shadows to deliver a quick uppercut. "Argh! You will not leave here unscathed!" He yelled, firing black magic at Goten. A hit, I guess. Nothing serious. In the chest, sent him back a bit. Goten put his palms together and fired three blasts before landing. He then dashed at him alongside the ki blasts. The Pony of Shadows smirked before turning to smoke near the ki blasts. Well, a surprising technique. Goten stopped running in confusion. He couldn't sense him anywhere, and smoke was everywhere. Smoke attacks, or smoke that hardened smashed into Goten from behind! Goten retaliated by swinging his arm around, letting out a wave of yellow ki. It just made the smoke separate. Then the smoke behind him somewhat hardened and clubbed him in the back. Goten fired a ki blast in retaliation only to not hit him. "You're lost! You cannot hit what you cannot see!" The Pony of Shadows yelled. Goten could see a larger smoke traveling around the smaller smoke. Or, it basically traveled inside it. Goten fired a ki blast at it, to actually hit the Pony of Shadows out of his smoke form! "Argh! You pass... However! I won't be so lenient now!" The Pony of Shadows yelled as he turned to smoke. He did not have that bigger smoke weakness anymore. Again, more attacks on Goten from behind, and more misses from Goten. 'Wait... If he's tangible... Then...' He thought. "He is losing! I knew this was a terrible idea!" Star Swirl said. "That poor boy..." Mage Meadowbrook said. "Goten isn't losing." Gohan said. "What?" Star Swirl asked. "He'll adapt. Look now." Gohan said. Goten turned Super Saiyan! He let his aura flare continuously. "W-What is this!?" Star Swirl asked. "It's called a Super Saiyan." Gohan said. "It changes the mane and color of the mane! It also increases all abilities tens of times over!" Twilight said. "Amazing...!" Mage Meadowbrook said. "Beings who can alter their battle levels..." Star Swirl muttered. "It looks like he's figured out how to win." Gohan said with a smile. "Changing your mane won't help you!" The Pony of Shadows yelled. He made smoke behind Goten into a spike. It was about to stab him! But Goten roundhouse kicked that thing in half! "What!?" The Pony of Shadows yelled. "I can sense you now!" Goten yelled. The larger smoke traveled behind Goten. Goten did a backhand smack on the smoke, which instantly turned the Pony of Shadows visible again. "Ack! How!?" He yelled. "I can see you now..." Goten said. The Pony of Shadows turned to smoke again. He tried attacking with a club of sorts from behind. "BELIEVE IT!" Goten yelled, turning around and blasting that foolish fool! That foolish foolhardy foolish fool... Yeah, I got nothing. "Impressive... I can't perceive how he can see his attacks from behind." Star Swirl said. Goten just punched the Pony of Shadows in the side. "Neither can I." Twilight said. Goten dodged numerous swipes and magic attacks. "It's because of his aura." Gohan said. "What do you mean?" Twilight asked. Goten's aura flared as he pummeled the Pony of Shadows repeatedly. "Goten's releasing his ki in all directions. They reflect off of the Pony of Shadows. He can sense that, and act against it." Gohan said. Goten grabbed a blade from behind and threw it into the wall. "Oh. What an immensely useful skill." Star Swirl said. Goten blasted the Pony of Shadows away. "I thought I'd seen warriors in my day, but you two take the cake." Rockhoof said. Gohan just sheepishly chuckled. "RAAAAGH!" The Pony of Shadows screamed. Goten just stood in front of him with a saucy smirk. "Done yet?" He asked. "You deplorable little snot! I will end this RIGHT NOW!" He screamed. He started charging black magic in his horn... Since his rage was real, there was some extra power! "Oh, sure! I'll just let you power up and gather your strength." Goten said. "BIG MISTAKE!" The Pony of Shadows screamed. "What is he doing!?" Star Swirl asked. "Trust us, he is not in trouble." Rainbow Dash said. The Pony of Shadows fired the 'devastating' blast with all his might, and- ... Pfft... Goten casually lifted a hand and fired a powerful yellow beam. See, that's REAL power and devastation. The Pony of Shadows was quickly overpowered and shocked at this display of power. BOOM! He collapsed! "Did... Did that young man just defeat something we took ages to do?" Mistmane asked. "Hey, it's like with Nightmare Moon. It took 1000 years, and this one decides to step in, despite being incredibly wounded." Twilight said, pointing a hoof at Gohan. "Nightmare Moon...?" Star Swirl asked. "We'll talk later." Gohan said. The Pony of Shadows struggled to get up. "Give up!" Goten yelled, firing a barrage of ki blasts at him. "Augh! Urgh! Ah!" The Pony of Shadows grunted as he was being pushed back. And... Some blue hair stuck out of his chest. No... No... It started to turn into a head... Trying to get out? "There's... A pony in there!" Twilight said. Goten realized and stopped his assault. "What the heck...?" He said. The Pony of Shadows collapsed, but the head shrunk back in. "Uh... Gohan...? What do I do?" Goten asked. "Since there's a pony in there, we can't end him..." Gohan said. "That was Stygian. Of course you must end him!" Star Swirl said. "Hey, now. We can try reasoning with the source. The Pony of Shadows might be some darkness controlling him." Gohan said. "There can be no such thing!" Star Swirl said. 'I really thought this guy was the smartest...' Twilight thought. "No, there is. Princess Luna was once consumed by darkness, and now she's on our side!" Twilight said. "Luna... My old student..." Star Swirl reminisced. Gohan put down his barrier and walked closer to that collapsed enemy. "What was that pony...?" He asked as he tried poking it with his finger. To everyone's surprised, his finger just went through. "Er... Something must be inside...? Should I go in?" Gohan asked. "Eh. Try." Goten said. *** Well, this is a dark place. Extremely dark. 'Suddenly I'm getting a feeling of deja mustard.' Goku said. 'It's deja vu.' Gohan thought, feeling a presence nearby. "Hello?" He asked, making his aura flare as a Super Saiyan for light. There was a pony with brown rags. Sitting there, miserably. "Uh... Sir? Are you Stygian?" Gohan asked, getting closer. "I was, once. Until my friends betrayed me." Stygian said. He actually looked at Gohan. "Who are you?" He asked. "I'm Son Gohan. It looks like two stories aren't adding up... Star Swirl says that you betrayed him and his comrades for their magic." Gohan said. "No! I wanted their respect. I brought them together. I planned strategy, and I read all I could about the beasts we faced. But I didn't have magic or strength, so nopony ever noticed me. I went to Ponhenge to make my own copies of the artifacts. With them, I thought I could be a Pillar, too, and stand by their side in battle. I never wanted to steal their power. But instead of sharing and letting me help, my friends threw me out." Stygian said. The ponies and Saiyan outside were able to listen to that. "Are we still sure this isn't a friendship problem!?" Starlight asked. "I think it is." Twilight said. Stygian stood up, clearly angry. A dark flame began to envelop him. "So I became stronger than any of them! The darkness welcomed me when no pony would, and I will do what I must to protect it!" He yelled, looking incredibly threatening. He was pretty much a mini Pony of Shadows lacking the size and complete color. Gohan didn't budge an inch, though. "I'm really sorry to hear about your friends betraying you. Trust me, I've been there. If the Pillars knew how you felt, I'm sure they wouldn't have turned their backs on you. The shadow isn't who you really are. Darkness isn't the way, Stygian." Gohan said. Stygian looked a little remorseful... But... "Even if my friends did still care, what makes you think you have the power to help me?" Stygian retorted. ... Gohan just gave him an 'Are you serious right now?' Face. "So, getting beaten to near death isn't enough power in your opinion." He said. "How can you reverse my actions!?" Stygian asked. "That's a scientific impossibility. Time travel may be real, but what you do stays there. We can help you get back to normal again to reconcile." Gohan said. "I... I want to believe you..." Stygian said, actually trying. But... "But the darkness will not be stopped!" He screamed, suddenly growing black wings and whatnot. The real Pony of Shadows on the outside stood up, growing in size. Goten powered up and got into a fighting pose. "I'm going to disprove that!" Gohan and Goten yelled. He grabbed Stygian and tried flying him out. Gohan was out, but Stygian was kind of trapped. Goten ran up to Gohan and tried helping him. "Twilight...!" Gohan yelled. His hooves were sticking out, at least. The Pony of Shadows was screeching and yelling in pain because of this. "What am I supposed to do!?" Twilight asked. "~~Bitching!~~ Lecturing about Friendship!" Gohan yelled. "Oh. Right." Twilight said. "Fight the darkness, Stygian! You don't need it anymore! Revenge isn't what you want! Friendship is!" She said. "At this rate, we'll end up pulling your hooves off!" Gohan yelled. "Just give up the evil stuff already!" Goten yelled. "The shadow won't let go of him. He wants to stop, but he can't do it alone." Twilight said. "Then he needs our friendship!" Star Swirl said. "We won't betray you like we did before, Stygian!" He yelled. The Pony of Shadows recoiled. "We'll really listen, we will!" Rockhoof said. "But you must let go!" Mistmane said. "I REALLY do NOT want to pull off your hoof by trying as much as I can!" Gohan yelled. Stygian... Decided. BOOM! Out of this house! The power of Christ compels you! Stygian was out, the Pony of Shadows was shrinking and dying, and the job was done. Eventually that thing just shriveled up and died. Star Swirl helped Stygian stand up. "Long ago, you needed our help, Stygian. But instead of listening, we turned our backs on you. Pride clouded my judgment. I owe you an apology. Thank you for helping us see the errors of our ways, Twilight and Son Gohan. It seems I never accounted for Friendship." He said. Twilight started fangirling because her idol just complimented her. "Thank you, Swirlstar! Uh, Star Swirl!" She said. "...Thank you... All I ever wanted was that." Stygian said, smiling. Starlight cleared her throat. "Soooo... apparently a conversation CAN save Equestria?" She asked. "Starlight... That wasn't really a conversation. That was more like a choice between dying of infection and pain or living. I even heard his muscles stretch." Gohan said. *** Well, everyone was in the throne room now. I mean everyone. And base form Gohan and Goten. "I simply cannot believe how tall you've gotten!" Star Swirl said. "Well, it has been over a thousand years. Will you stay here and teach magic once again? My sister and I have such fond memories of your lessons." Celestia said. "As long as you don't ask for those essays we owed you before you disappeared." Luna said. Star Swirl chuckled. "I'm not certain Canterlot is where I belong. The realm has grown, and I believe I'll have a look around before I settle in any one place." He said. "And I long to see what has become of my home." Mage Meadowbrook said. "I believe we all do." Mistmane said. "...Huh. Wonder how my home's doing." Gohan said. *** Earth... ... WHERE THE FUCK IS EVERYONE!? THE FUCKING PLANET'S STILL THERE! THAT DAMN VILLAIN IS GONE! He'll come back... But why the hell is Earth still there? *** "Then I hope you will return to Canterlot on occasion and share the wisdom and power of your great experience with the next generation of ponies." Celestia said. "We would be honored. But if it is wisdom you seek, look no further than your own pupil. She showed me that the power of friendship is a magical force indeed. And that in turning away from others, you hurt yourself as well." Star Swirl said. "And, well, if it's strength you seek..." He added, pointing a hoof at the brothers. "I believe they have all the strength you need." He said. 'Well, at least he complimented me.' Gohan thought. "On more than one occasion." Celestia said. "Oh, no. Not this again..." Gohan said. "What?" Twilight asked playfully. "We did this, JUST THIS MORNING!" Gohan yelled. Author's Note Holy Dumb Fuck. This took an assload of a while to come out. I've just been studying my ass off. There's a lot more coming up in five years. I really want to get that done before the Grand not really finale but it'll look like it because it's gonna be among the hardest opponents yet. Sorry, you've all been very patient. Battle Between a God and a Mortal Pt. 2The Other World... Quite some time before Beerus actually woke up. Apparently the Other World tournament is going on again. Guess who's in! Not Gohan! Hah! He's on the sidelines! Or, audience, really. Wearing the Piccolo gi. Who's in...? Its Goku. Oh, and Sunset's in the audience, too. You know, for support. Goku learned that he doesn't need the necklace in the Other World. Time essentially stops for him there, apparently. He still has that glimmer on him... And since the Other World tournament popped up... Goku entered! It was relatively the same as last time. The finals were happening. All the kais of the North Galaxy were watching. Except King Kai, he didn't have a deceased warrior for his quadrant. Whuh? Also he was too damn busy rebuilding his damn house for the tenth time. Anyway, to the fight! That's already started and nearing the end, it seems. Super Saiyan Goku versus Pikkon without weights! Again! "Hragh!" Goku yelled, throwing a punch at Pikkon. Pikkon blocked and kicked Goku away! Goku put two fingers to his head and used Instant Transmission to teleport behind Pikkon! He blasted him away! Pikkon used his momentum to glide in the air. He swung around and came flying at Goku! Goku seemingly vanished into thin air. But actually, he was behind Pikkon! He delivered a chop right down at him! But then Pikkon seemingly disappeared! He appeared in front of Goku and threw a punch! Goku disappeared and appeared above Pikkon! He actually kicked Pikkon down to the ground! But Pikkon wasn't done. As he smashed onto the tile, he cracked it. But he instantly moved, wasting no time. He flew around again, charging at Goku again. He had flames engulfing him, too. "Not this time! Hiya!" Goku yelled, turning into a Super Saiyan 2. His aura only flared for a brief moment before instantly dying out. "What?" Pikkon asked, before he was punched right in the face. "All right dad!" Gohan cheered. "Go Goku!" Sunset cheered, throwing a fist in the air. The flames died out instantly, and Pikkon was sent flying. Goku put two fingers to his head and teleported behind Pikkon. He kicked him upwards! Goku then teleported above Pikkon to perform a double axe handle on him, smashing him downwards. Goku teleported to where Pikkon would be before he'd hit the ground, and cupped his hands together. "You're finished! Kamehameha!" He screamed, unleashing the devastating blast on Pikkon. The blast was ended before it could reach the spectators, but it was very clearly that it was massive. It created winds that could be felt at the check in station. The light itself was blinding. So everyone blocked their eyesight to prevent blindness. The blast finally died down. The smoke died down. Pikkon was out of bounds! The suited mushroom man stepped to where Pikkon laid. "Out of bounds! The winner of the Other World Martial Arts Tournament is Son Goku!" He proclaimed. The audience cheered. Goku smiled and reverted back into base form. "Phew!" He said. Gohan and Sunset jumped out of the crowds. They flew over to Goku. "Nice job, dad!" Gohan said. "Thanks, buddy! I still got it in me!" Goku said, punching his chest a few times. "Congratulations, Goku." Sunset said, being in her first movie outfit for some reason. "Thanks!" Goku said. Pikkon got himself up. He walked up to Goku with a smile. "Amazing, Goku. You never cease to amaze me." He said. He held a hand out. Goku shook his hand. "You've gotten a lot stronger, I'm impressed!" He said. "Good effort, Pikkon." Gohan said. "Oh, thanks. Who are you?" Pikkon asked. Gohan got confused. "I-I'm Gohan, don't you remember?" He asked. "Sorry, no." Pikkon said. "Uh... Huh. Okay." Gohan said. He was genuinely confused. "And now..." The mushroom man announcer said. He held a silver trophy with white ribbons on the double handles. "The trophy for the champion!" He said. The audience all cheered. Goku took the trophy. "Thanks!" He said. *** The three were now in some sort of flower garden. "You want to meet Piccolo?" Goku asked. "Well, more specifically, I'd like her to meet him." Gohan said. "Alright, I'll just be here." Goku said. "You don't want to meet him?" Sunset asked. "It's not that, it's... Well, a little... Uh... Nevermind, just go." Goku said. Was he acting strange...? "Uh... Okay... I can't sense Piccolo at all, though. That's weird." Gohan said. "Then how will we find him?" Sunset asked. "I can't find him either. Is he even here?" Goku asked. "I don't know... I can't even sense Tien or Yamcha. Or Krillin." Gohan said. "If they're not here, I don't think we should go on a witch hunt." Sunset said. "I don't know what that is." Goku said. "It's hunting for something that probably isn't there." Gohan said. "Ohh, yeah. I think so too." Goku said. "Should we head home?" Gohan asked. "Back into the necklace I go..." Goku said, saddened. "Do you want to?" Gohan asked. "I do, it's just a blank space in there. It's boring!" Goku said. "But I can be with my sons, so it's all good." He added. "Okay, you sure you don't want to stay?" Gohan asked. "I'm sure!" Goku said. With that, Goku was sucked into the necklace. *** We're at sundown in front of the portal. "Thanks for taking me to watch. It was fun watching your dad beat the bejesus out of everyone." Sunset joked. "Yeah, hah!" Gohan laughed. But Sunset noticed something different. Something... Off, about Gohan. He... "Did you grow an inch?" Sunset asked. "Huh?" Gohan asked. Now that he was comparing himself to Sunset... "You were down to my neck before the Other World Tournament... Now you're up to my mouth?" Sunset asked. "I grew...? I grew! YES!" Gohan cheered. He jumped up. "Finally, it's been three years and I'm getting that growth spurt, yeah!" He cheered. 'All right! I wonder if you'll be taller than your old man.' Goku said. Sunset smiled. 'Well, he'll finally look like the man of the relationship... Soon, I guess.' She thought. Gohan finally stopped cheering for himself. He landed on the ground, finally. "Okay, bye Sunset! I have to tell Goten!" He said. "Wait. You're forgetting something." Sunset said with a smirk. "Oh! Right, right." Gohan said. He walked up to Sunset and got on his tippy toes. You know, because he's a tiny fucking boy. (I know Dragon Ball has been inconsistent in heights but daaamn. Saiyan Saga Gohan is nearly the same as Krillin, and Cell Games is the exact same as Krillin. Can someone kill me?) And then... Well, I don't need to spell it out for you, they kissed. Blushing, all of it. Goku whistled, but made sure nobody heard it. And nobody did hear it. And after all this damn text, the kiss broke. "See you later..." Sunset said. "O-Okay..." Gohan said. Sunset turned around and started to walk away. Then Gohan went his other way into the portal limbo. Which was a bunch of rainbows turned into what you see while time traveling. 'Man, I wish I could see Chi Chi again.' Goku said. 'You and me both, I really miss her.' Gohan said. 'She'd always try to do what you two just did with me.' Goku said. 'Kissing?' Gohan asked. 'Yeah, that.' Goku said. Then the two finally made it to pony Equestria. Where a certain excited Princess Twilight was waiting. "There you are! I have big news!" She said. "Uh... What's the news?" Gohan asked. "Two things. One, Princess Celestia's birthday is tomorrow!" Twilight said. "Oh, cool!" Gohan said. "We're invited to her party tomorrow!" Twilight said. "What's the second thing?" Gohan asked. "It's..." Twilight said. Author's Note Cliffhanger! So... "Where the fuck have you been!? You asshole, taking a whole fucking month to post. You dick!" Is probably what you're saying. It took me a month to get a shitty 1,200 word chapter out, so I don't blame you. And it's going to take me another month to get the next one out too! HAHAHAHA- Okay, on a serious note, I'll try for next week and I'll be posting a lot (75% chance) in a week or two. But I've made a few edits to the beginning of the story, and I'd like you to check that out. I'm not done with them yet, but I made a few heavy ones. If it says (Edited), it's mainly grammatical errors, some rushed bits and not so much plot. It's it's (Heavily Edited), that means I either changed up the plot or I fixed a lot more of my rushed laziness (Discord). If there's nothing, then it's either I barely did anything or nothing. I'd like to see some feedback on those. All right, have a good day. I'll be back to doing this a lot then fucking up on posting for a while after a month of that. Battle Between a God and a Mortal Pt. 3"...Saved for tomorrow!" Twilight said. ... "Couldn't you just tell me it tomorrow instead of now? I'm excited now." Gohan said. "Nope!" Twilight said. "Then what was the point of announcing it to me now!?" Gohan asked. "Suspense!" Twilight said. "Wh-... Ugh... Alright, let's see it tomorrow." Gohan said, defeated. "What happened over there?" Twilight asked. "I took Sunset to see my dad participate in the Other World Tournament." Gohan said. "Don't you mean 'Sunny?'" Twilight asked with a smirk. "That was out of rage, and- How did you know?" Gohan asked. "I have a journal with Sunset too, you know." Twilight said. "Oh." Gohan responded. "I recommend you call her that, she actually wants you to do it." Twilight said. "Oh. Thanks..." Gohan said. He's kinda contemplating his life choices because he's getting dating advice from a unicorn and an alicorn princess. "Did Goku win?" Twilight asked. "He won, unsurprisingly." Gohan said. "Congratulations, Goku!" Twilight said, poking her hoof at the necklace. 'Stop it! You're shaking this void of a place! Ah!' Goku said. "He wants you to stop, the place is shaking for him." Gohan said. "Sorry." Twilight said. "...Can you at least give me a hint?" Gohan asked. *** As you can guess, Twilight did not give him a hint. So he left the castle in defeat and excitement. Twilight promised it would be huge. So... Anyway. Gohan approached his shared home to see- "What the...!?" He asked. Goten and the Cutie Mark Crusaders... Well, in short, the CMC were trying to hit Goten with the enchanted and heavy sword. So the three of them kept throwing the sword at Goten, who kept dodging. They were having fun, as if playing fucking tag with it. Well, Gohan couldn't obviously see it that way after this. The trio weakly threw the sword at Goten with their hooves while laughing. Goten punched the sword playfully back at the trio. ...But then realized how much of a grave mistake that was. And so did our innocent, powerless trio that stood completely still because they're petrified. The sword was pretty much spinning back at them. Gohan instantly appeared to the side of the sword and uppercutted it. It spun upwards as it flew upwards. He then flew behind it to grab it. "What are you doing!?" He yelled. "Uh..." Was all the four could say. Gohan flew down to the ground. "You could've gotten seriously hurt!" He said. "I-I'm sorry..." Goten said, looking down at the ground. "Why did you even use my sword? Why were you throwing it around, you could've cut yourselves!" Gohan said. "We're sorry." The trio said, looking sad. Gohan felt like a parent here, scolding children. "It's fine, please don't do it again..." He said. 'Tell him that his dad won the tournament!' Goku said. 'Not now.' Gohan said. "Hey, can we use it tomorrow?" Goten asked. "Wha- No!" Gohan said. "It's fun! We'll just use the... What's that again?" Scootaloo asked. "The holder?" Applebloom asked. "The sheath." Sweetie Belle said. "Right, the sheath!" Scootaloo said. Gohan sighed. "I promise that we won't throw it around like that, they'll just try to slash at me like they did before!" Goten said, as if that was completely normal. 'I really wish Piccolo was here for this...' Gohan thought. "Goten, we're going to Princess Celestia's birthday party tomorrow, so you won't be able to play with them..." Gohan said. "We're comin'!" Applebloom said. "We're plus ones again!" Sweetie Belle said. Oh god, nonononononono- "We're plus ones~! We're plus ones~!" Damn it. Gohan couldn't help but smile at that. "Ooh! Let me try! We're plus ones~!" Goten sang. 'Is he even a plus one...?' Gohan thought to himself. 'Where's my plus one, come on!' Goku joked. Gohan chuckled. "You can bring the sword, just don't play with it in a public place." He said. "YAY!" The four said, giggling and chatting afterwards. 'Wow! I don't remember having that much fun as a kid. Wait, I know Chi Chi and I had a really fun date... We fought the entire time! It was awesome!' Goku said. '...I heard you tried to punch her and you put a huge hole in a tree.' Gohan said. 'Eh. She liked it, so it's good.' Goku said. "All right, y'all. I'm heading home! I think AJ's gonna get all excited again." Applebloom said. "You're telling me, my sister does all the dresses." Sweetie Belle said. "Rainbow Dash doesn't do that, she's too cool for that!" Scootaloo said. "Don't you live with your aunt?" Applebloom asked. "Well, I'm staying at Rainbow Dash's." Scootaloo said. "Ohh." Everyone but Gohan said. "Okay, bye!" Goten said. And with that, our trio walked away. ... "So..." Gohan said. "Yeah?" Goten asked. "I grew a little bit." Gohan said. "Really!? I haven't been able to grow at all!" Goten said. "Same here, until today." Gohan said. 'Come on, tell him already!' Goku said. "Oh, dad won the tournament, Goten." Gohan said. "Really? Cool! Dad, you're so cool!" Goten said. 'I'm not just cool, I'm really strong, too!' Goku said. Goten didn't hear that. "Now I feel bad for playing with them instead of going with you." He said. "It's all right, Sunset wanted it to be just us, anyway." Gohan said. "Oh, okay! I know how you're a pushover when it comes to that, so it's good!" Goten said. "What?" Gohan asked. "Oh, right, Nevermind." He said. He IS pretty much a pushover. At least Sunset isn't making him do some- Let's not get into that. "Anyway, we should prepare for tomorrow. It's going to be a great day!" Gohan said. ... Beerus is coming for that Super Saiyan God. "Okay! But first, you're forgetting something!" Goten said. "What?" Gohan asked. ... Goten threw a punch at Gohan's chest! Knocking him back a few feet. "Ow! So you wanna train again!?" Gohan asked. "Fighting is so much fun!" Goten said, turning Super Saiyan. ... Gohan dropped his sword. "All right." He said, cracking his neck. "Let's go!" He said. *** "Are you sure this is gonna work, Twilight?" Spike asked. They were in the library. "Don't judge me, I know what I'm doing!" Twilight said. "If my calculations are correct, this potted plant's power level is a mere 0.00092!" She said. "...And WHY did we need to do that math?" Spike asked. "This!" Twilight said, using her magic to choke the life out of the plant. Spike jumped back in surprise. "What the heck!? Twilight, I think this studying got to you!" Spike said. The plant turned into a tiny black shrub. It's dead. Why did Twilight kill it...? You'll find out on the next episode of Dragon Ball GT- Wait a minute... ~~Sorry, I meant to say shitty story that takes a week to post a thousand word chapter.~~ Author's Note Short chapter, I know. But next chapter will be good, and hopefully up by tomorrow! It's going to be a bit surprising... Battle Between a God and a Mortal Pt. 4Everyone, excluding Pinkie were at Rarity's boutique. The dresses are done! ...They're the exact same as the last Gala dresses. ... "Rarity...? I think you made the same dresses as last time." Twilight said, inspecting her dress. "Yeah, uh... They're the freaking same!" Rainbow Dash said. "Nonsense!" Rarity said. 'Did Rarity lose her... Oh, no... Not again!' Spike thought. "In fact..." Rarity said, pulling a curtain aside, revealing... ...The dresses she made last time. "These are the dresses I- Oh." She said, realizing her blunder. The dresses... Were the fucking same... "Did you do the same for Pinkie...?" Gohan asked, in his formal wear and Super Saiyan form. "I'm afraid so... And she's already in Canterlot, preparing for the party..." Rarity said. "You look really tired." Goten said, wearing his formal wear. He also had the sword strapped to his back because, well, you already know. Actually, Rarity did have a bag under each eye. "I really am..." Rarity said, putting a hoof to her forehead. "Where are my senzu beans when someone else needs them...?" Gohan asked himself. "Ooh! Ooh! Can I get them?" Goten asked. "I don't see why not." Gohan said. "Let's time it!" Applebloom said. "Okay! Starting now!" Goten said, before darting away instantly. Welp, he was gone. "One! Two! Three!" The Crusaders counted. Aaaand he's back. "Right here!" Goten said, holding the senzu beans. He pulled one out, and Rarity used her magic to grab it. ... Well, she ate it, and now she's not tired. "Thank you. However- I don't think there's much time before our train..." Rarity said. "Then we gotta go!" Sweetie Belle said. 'D...Did they forget you have Instant Transmission...?' Goku asked. 'I'm 100% sure they did.' Gohan said. 'You know, I actually tend to forget about it too...' Goku said. 'You mean like when Frieza came to Earth...?' Gohan asked. 'No, I knew Trunks was there.' Goku said. 'So you're talking about up on the Lookout?' Gohan asked. 'Yeah! Before we went into the Hypersonic Lion Tamer!' Goku said. Gohan mentally groaned. Well, to put it short... *** Up on Kami's Lookout... "You gotta save him!" An Android Saga Gohan said to Goku. "But I can't get him in time!" Goku said. "There's no way I can move fast enough to grab him, get out, and..." He said, realizing he had Instant Transmission. He popped away. "Did... He just remember he can do that...?" Gohan asked. "Your father's an idiot." Mr. Popo said. "No need for silver lining there." Gohan said. *** On the train... Well, everyone except our children (except Gohan) were quiet. Gohan was holding his and Goten's presents, and everyone else was holding their respective presents. Except the Crusaders, their sisters and sisterly figure held those. Anyway... Oh my gosh, was it a nightmare. Here are a few examples... The Crusaders were chasing Goten with the sword...'s sheath. Gohan was just holding onto it until they'd finish. Too bad there were other passengers. "Try to catch me!" Goten said. "Throw!" Applebloom yelled. The trio used their hooves to hurl the sheath at Goten. Goten just darted to the ceiling and clung onto it like Spider-Man. The sheath flew down the aisle. "Hah! You missed! You get three points!" Goten said, holding up three fingers. "We lose!" Scootaloo said happily. This is one weird game. The sheath landed, and the Crusaders grabbed it again. This time, they aimed at Goten at the ceiling. "Round 2!" Sweetie Belle said. Then they hurled it again. Goten hurled nothing at the sheath, but the winds sent it flying another way. ...Bad idea. It aimed at another passenger, a stallion unicorn. He had a tan body with a brown mane. He had a book for a cutie mark. He had blue eyes. He was napping. Well, the sheath hit him right in the side of the head. "Ow! The heck!?" He yelled, rubbing that part of his head. Then our children had scared looks instead of smiles. "Uh oh." Goten said. 'Oh boy.' Goku said. 'I should've never even brought this thing.' Gohan thought. "Who's this belong to, huh!?" The stallion asked, using his yellow magic to pick it up. Goten got off the ceiling and stepped in front of the stallion. "I'm sorry, it's mine. I didn't mean to hit you with it." He said, bowing. He then looked up at the unicorn with puppy dog eyes. He looked a little too cute to scold, so... "Ah, that's okay. Just don't do it again, alright?" The unicorn said. "Y-Yes sir." Goten said. "Here you go." He said, giving it back to Goten. "Maybe you should stop with the sheath, Goten." Gohan said. "Aww!" The four whined. *** The next one is the last one. Our four were playing patty cake... The three fillies were trying to see if they could go faster than Goten all together. So Goten was patting six hooves. "Patty cake, party cake, baker's man!" They sang. And Goten decided to get a little flashy, courtesy of Trunks. "Bake me a cake as fast as you CAN!" They sang. But Goten yelled 'can.' And at that moment, he did a swipe pat! ...Or slap. That wasn't a good idea, because, well, the Crusaders were all slapped away. They spun around because he hit their hooves. So there was all the- "Whoaaaa!" "Uh oh." Goten said. Gohan had an awkward smile as he stood up. He walked over to our spinning trio and stopped them each with a finger. "Let's stop playing for now, alright?" Gohan asked. Their eyes were spinning for a few moments. Until they shook their heads. Their manes were kinda screwed up. So, as you would expect, Rarity and Applejack gasped. "Y'all need to recomb your mane!" Applejack said. "You mean comb their names again? 'Recomb' isn't a word, Applejack." Rarity said. "Last I checked, we already had two dictionaries, Rarity." Rainbow Dash said. "Hey!" Gohan and Twilight said. "That doesn't change the fact that they need it. Luckily, I brought my spare brush." Rarity said, pulling a brush out of her luggage. "Don't do mine, it's fine this way!" Scootaloo said. "Absolutely not!" Rarity said. "Eh, she doesn't want it Rarity. Let her keep it." Rainbow Dash said. "Yay!" Scootaloo said. "Well, you two have fun while we get endlessly nagged by Rarity..." Sweetie Belle said. "Excuse me?" Rarity asked. The two other fillies had to get the brushing done. "So what do you wanna do?" Goten asked. "Ooh! Let's do the other one!" Scootaloo said. "But I can't, remember...?" Goten asked. "Don't worry, I doubt it'll happen again." Scootaloo said. "If you think so... Okay!" Goten said. They were pretty much doing patty cake again, but it went like this. "Down by the shores of the hanky panky where the bullfrogs leap from bank to banky-" Then Goten instinctively smacked Scootaloo away. He didn't want to, but that's the problem- It's uncontrollable. Like a reflex. Scootaloo was kinda hit away, like flying, almost. Goten gasped, realizing he should've persisted. Gohan acted instantly by catching her before she smashed into the seat. "...I think that's enough playing for now, huh?" He asked. "What?" Goten and the Crusaders whined. "This is very dangerous, on a train, no less." Gohan said. "And we've bothered a stranger already." Twilight said. "I'm surprised I'm not joining in on the playing." Spike said. "We're done." Gohan said, setting Scootaloo down. So they had to just sit down and do nothing for the rest of the ride. *** Celestia was in her bedroom, constantly walking around. "What is this feeling...? Has Beerus the Destroyer awoken...?" She asked herself. Luna also came into the room. "Sister, you know as well as I that Lord Beerus..." She said. "Yes..." Celestia said. "He doesn't dare come here today... Right?" Luna asked, hoping. "I hope not..." Celestia said. "Oh, and Pinkie Pie has finished decorating every room. She has plenty of surprises for you, too." Luna said with a smile. "I'm expecting the best." Celestia said with a smile. But that feeling won't go away... For the both of them. Author's Note Ugh, this was just filler. I can promise that some shit will go down in two more chapters. Or the next one, I don't know. And that'll take another MONTH! HAHAHAHAHA- Okay, but really, I'm trying for as soon as possible. It won't be another month-long hiatus again, lol. Battle Between a God and a Mortal Pt. 5Our group got off the train. "You brought your dad, right?" Twilight asked for the nine thousand and first time. "For the last time, yes, I did, Twilight." Gohan said. 'Why does she keep asking? It's worse than Bulma at this point!' Goku said. 'They're nerds like me, so expect it...' Gohan thought. Our group grabbed their tickets, inserted them into the magic ticket machine, and now they're in Canterlot. (For those who don't know- Also, skip this if you don't want a lesson on trains. This is my other hobby. I live in a country where the ticketing system is different than some parts of America. The LIRR in New York has a conductor to take the tickets. My country uses a machine to take the ticket and let you through. It's kind of like a subway, but with tickets instead of MetroCards. What's bullshit here, is that you have to pay just to fucking sit down! Wot!?) "I can smell the rich air already." Gohan said. "What does that mean?" Applejack asked. "Two things. The air here is less polluted than that of Ponyville, for some reason. This city uses more industrial technology, I don't know how-" "Enough, nerd." Rainbow Dash interrupted. "Can't I just explain this?" Gohan asked. "No!" Rainbow Dash said. "That's not very nice." Fluttershy said. "Nah, its fine. Sunset does it to me, too. It's kind of fun annoying her, because I get to see- Okay, I'm getting way off track." Gohan said. "Aw..." Twilight said, wanting to hear it. "Let's get going! I don't wanna be late!" Goten said, slowly running towards the castle. The Crusaders followed him while giggling. "For some reason, it feels like Gohan is an adult..." Rarity said. "I feel the exact same way." Gohan said. *** "You wanna know how super duper amazing awesome funtastic the party is!?!?1?" Pinkie asked, in front of a curtain. Celestia was waiting. "Yes, though... Why did you say 1?" She asked. "Here it is!" Pinkie said, punching the curtains aside. Holy fucking shit. It's a mess! I-I mean, it's amazing! There's so many games, enough food to feed half a civilization (guess who's that for.), the finest musicians in Canterlot, along with the most badass DJ for later (guess who.), and so much more, jeez. The musicians, who played mostly violin, (Octavia) began playing Mozart Symphony 4. The DJ, Vinyl Scratch, was just sitting around, waiting to do her part. Pinkie went as far as to make a whole fucking Crystal statue of Celestia. Balloons and confetti flew everywhere, you can't go five feet without another one getting in your sight. Oh, and don't forget the gift table. ...Which Pinkie gave plenty of. Oh, and cake. CAKE THAT WAS SO FUCKING LARGE THAT IT HAD 9001 CANDLES ON IT TO SHOW HOW OLD CELESTIA IS! ...Sorry. But there was a giant cake. "T-This..." Celestia stammered. "It's a party, right!? OOH! I have to get my dress!" Pinkie said, darting away. Celestia just admired the scene... ... "I-Its perfect..." She muttered. The rest of our cast came into the giant room. "Wow!" Gohan said. "Did Pinkie do all this?" Twilight asked. "Whoa..." Applejack said. Then Pinkie appeared beside our group. Wearing her dress. "Hey!" She said. "Did... Did you just appear out of nowhere?" Gohan asked. "Yep! It's a magic trick! Yay!" Pinkie said, throwing confetti everywhere. "Put your gifts on that table! Do it, do it, do it!" She said. So our group did that. Adding to the already monstrous pile. Celestia finally managed to compose herself under these conditions... She walked down to our cast. "Welcome, my little ponies." She said. They all bowed at her presence. "There is no need." Celestia said, giggling. "Happy Birthday!" Everyone said. Pinkie decided to throw extra confetti. Goten threw a yellow ki blast and made it explode into tiny sparkles. Celestia was flattered. "Thank you. That was lovely. Well, our other guests should be arriving soon." She said. Luna came into the room. "You all came on time. Perfect." She said with a smile. "Hey, Princess Luna." Gohan said. "Wowee! We're in front of TWO princesses!" Scootaloo said to her fellow comrades. ~~"Idi nahui! Cyka blyat!" Applebloom said.~~ ~~"Debil!" Sweetie Belle yelled, pointing at Applebloom.~~ ~~"Vrod blyat!" Scootaloo said.~~ Sorry, had to get my inner Russian out of me. "This is amazing...!" Applebloom said. "Why don't you all take part in this glorious celebration?" Celestia asked. "Okay! Goten, food race?" Gohan asked. "No need to tell me twice! 123 GO!" Goten said. And like that, our two Saiyans were wolfing down everything at the food table. The ponies and dragon laughed. Then Celestia noticed the sword on Goten. "Why does he have a weapon...?" She asked. "Oh, Goten and our little troublemakers here wanted to play with it on the train." Rainbow Dash said. "More specifically, the sheath." Twilight said. "Oh... I see." Celestia said. "Hey!" A familiar voice came from behind. It was Shining Armor, carrying Flurry Heart. Cadence was there, too, carrying gifts. "I hope we're not too late." Shining Armor said. "Shining Armor!" Twilight said, running up to hug her big brother. "Cadence!" She said, performing a ritual dance with her... It's too cancerous for me to want to show you. "Leap frog, leap frog, Great Barrier Reef! Or-" Okay I'm done. Then Twilight turned her attention to Flurry Heart. ...Gohan was already holding her. He... Left the food table to do that. Goten was still wolfing food down. "She's gotten bigger!" Gohan said. "I know!" Shining Armor and Cadence said. "Where's Sunburst?" Twilight asked. "He's with Starlight Glimmer, doing some sort of testing. He said that it was more important..." Shining Armor said. "Oh, right." Twilight said. "That's quite all right." Celestia said. Gohan let Flurry Heart suck on his finger. "Aw... Who's Godfather Gohan's powerful little alicorn?" He asked, trying to act maternal. Then Flurry Heart looked like she was about to sneeze. "It's you! Yes it is, it's y-" Gohan said, before Flurry sneezed a fucking Broly blast to his face. His face was blackened. The ponies and dragon were shocked. ... Flurry Heart just laughed like a little baby. "...You know, if I wasn't a Super Saiyan, I might've been able to feel that." Gohan said. "I also should've known that this should happen because her power level was high." He added. "We have to perform Sunburst's spell for a moment, sorry..." Cadence said, taking her baby with her magic. Gohan wiped his face clean. Celestia was already having fun. The next guests were her nephew and a bunch of snobs in the city. But... Then the feeling of Beerus came back to her. 'I need to clear my head of this...' She thought. "Will you all excuse me...?" She asked, walking away. "She looks concerned." Gohan said. "Yes, she is." Luna said. "About what?" Twilight asked. "ON HER BIRTHDAY!?!?1? We have to fix this!" Pinkie said. "I'm afraid that is to be kept a secret." Luna said. Gohan and Twilight looked to each other in concern, but they shrugged. Eventually, the room was packed with ponies nobody knew. Celestia was in a separate room, walking in circles. "Why am I having these feelings...?" She asked herself. 'He isn't coming here again...' She thought. She stood still. 'He doesn't even have a reason to be here.' She thought. "Hello, Princess..." A very familiar voice came from behind. '...It's Lord Beerus.' Celestia thought. She turned around in surprise to see Whis and Beerus. "L-Lord Beerus..." She said fearfully. "Long time no see." Beerus said casually. Author's Note Okay, so NEXT chapter, shit will go down. I actually got a chapter done in a day, holy shit. Battle Between a God and a Mortal Pt. 6"L-Lord Beerus!" Celestia said, bowing down to her superior... "No need for that, you can stand normally." Beerus said. So Celestia stood up. "T-To what do I owe this unexpected visit...?" She asked. "Oh, I just wanted to drop in, maybe build a summer house and- What the heck do you think I'm here for?" Beerus asked. "Er... My birthday party...?" Celestia asked. "No! Although, I must say, happy birthday." Beerus said. "Happy Birthday to you, Princess." Whis said. "Food?" Celestia asked. "Unless you stepped up from hay sandwiches, I'm not eating a thing. You're lucky the bearded one created a delectable fruit salad." Beerus said. "We have advanced very far..." Celestia said. "Really? I'll have to try it out. Anyway, I'm here for something called a 'Super Saiyan God.' Know anything about it?" Beerus asked. "Super Saiyan God? I know what a Super Saiyan is, but I've never heard of a Super Saiyan God..." Celestia said. "Oh well. We want to meet... Whis, who was it again?" Beerus asked. "Son Gohan." Whis said. "Yeah, Son Gohan." Beerus said. "Er... He's in that room, celebrating..." Celestia said. "Could he be the one with the highest power level? I can feel it's heavily suppressed." Beerus said. "I suppose so... There are festivities going on in there." Celestia said. "Well, Whis, we have a party to crash." Beerus said. *** Gohan was back at it, eating down the food with Goten. The rest of our gang were doing other things. Twilight talking to Cadence, Shining Armor holding Flurry Heart, Pinkie and Rainbow Dash playing darts, Fluttershy and Rarity chatting, the Crusaders and Spike all playing tag at this time, and Applejack drinking cider. Other ponies were conversing, and Blueblood was nowhere to be seen. Celestia and our guests came into the room, and Luna instantly noticed. 'This does not bode well...' She thought. She walked up to the three. "Lord Beerus, we are honored that you have returned..." Luna said. "Yeah, yeah. Anyway, it seems you've lost any desire to dethrone your sister..." Beerus said. "There is no reason to anymore." Luna said. "Wait, what are you talking about?" Celestia asked. "Introduce me to everyone already." Beerus said. Celestia cleared her throat. "Everyone." She called. Everyone in the room looked to her. "I am proud to say that we have two extraordinary guests. Lord Beerus and his attendant Whis." Celestia called. "Hello everyone." Beerus said. "Pleasure to meet you all." Whis said. 'Whoa... Who's the cat?' Goku asked. 'I can't sense their energies at all...' Gohan thought. There was slow clapping then everyone clapped. Then it stopped. "I'm looking for the one named Son Gohan." Beerus called. 'M-Me!?' Gohan thought. "Everyone else can return to whatever they're doing, I really don't care." Beerus said. So that's what they did. Gohan got up to greet Beerus. "Hello, Lord Beerus." He said. "Hello. Wow, you're small." Beerus said. "Well, I'm just a kid." Gohan said. "Okay. I'm looking for something called a Super Saiyan God... Heard of it?" Beerus asked. "I... Don't know about it, sorry. I'm currently a Super Saiyan, though." Gohan said. "Let me ask my dad." He added. "Wait, Whis, didn't you say he was-" Beerus said, before Gohan responded again. "Nope, he doesn't know either." He said. "Well, Lord Beerus, it appears that your Super Saiyan God turned out to be wrong." Whis said. "I never get such things wrong!" Beerus said. "Replace never with always." Whis said. Beerus groaned. "Anyway, Whis here tells me that you slayed that bastard Frieza..." Beerus said. "Uh... Y-Yes sir." Gohan said. Beerus started inspecting Gohan's shorter body. "My dad beat him the first time." Gohan said. Beerus ended his examination. "It doesn't seem like you can beat him as you are... But I understand that you are suppressing yourself, are you not?" He asked. "Yes, I just like the look." Gohan said. "Yet you know nothing of the Super Saiyan God... Bummer. Oh well." Beerus said. "Whis, we're heading home." Beerus said. "As you wish." Whis said. "H-Hold on." Gohan said. "Yeah, what is it?" Beerus asked. "Why don't you stay for a while? There's no reason to pass up on this fun party." Gohan said. Now Celestia and Luna were sweating bullets. "Hmm... You know, that does sound like a good idea. I smell some delicious food over there on that table... I also see some exciting games over there, with the pink one." Beerus said. "That's the spirit!" Gohan said. "Whis, cancel that. We're gonna have some fun." Beerus said. "Alright, then." Whis said. So our two aliens along with our preexisting alien went to greet the rest of our cast. Twilight didn't know what Beerus was. Neither did Gohan. They respected him, though. Whis was weirdly talkative and respectful... Nobody seemed to be bothered at Beerus. *** "Howdy, Beerus! I'm Applejack of Sweet Apple Acres, and this is my sister, Applebloom!" Applejack said, grabbing her sister. "I can speak for myself, AJ." Applebloom complained. *** "I'm the one and only Rainbow Dash! The fastest flyer in all of Equestria!" Rainbow Dash said boldly. "I must say, your confidence is stunning." Beerus said. "Heh, it's natural when you're awesome." Scootaloo said. "Oh, right. I'm Scootaloo!" She said. *** "I am Rarity. Charmed to meet you." Rarity said. "I'm Sweetie Belle! It's nice to meet you!" Sweetie Belle said. *** "I'm Pinkie Pie! Whee!" Pinkie said while hopping away. "Energetic one..." Beerus said. *** "I'm Fluttershy. It's nice to meet you, Mr. Beerus." Fluttershy said. "It's my pleasure." Beerus said. *** "I am Princess Twilight Sparkle! It's nice to meet you." Twilight said. "I'm her trusty assistant, Spike!" Spike said. *** Yep, everything was all right... Except for our two princesses... "We must make sure his temper doesn't flare..." Celestia whispered. "Right. Not even Son Gohan can handle something like Lord Beerus." Luna said. Anyway, our deities ate some delicious food, they played pin the tail on the pony, they listened to Gohan's godawful karaoke singing, but they all danced to some music from the DJ instead of the Mozart shit. (Mozart isn't shit.) Beerus was break dancing as everyone clapped. You know, spinning on your head and stuff. Luna and Celestia were confused as to how Beerus wasn't angry at all this shit. Last time he... Nevermind. Especially the karaoke, but I guess everyone else's singing made it better. Now there was an announcement by Twilight. "Everyone! I need to show you this." She said. She had Gohan stand in the middle of the room. Beerus and Whis were tasting some rice and fish while sitting down. "She seems like she's presenting something." Whis said. "Eh, I don't care as long as it's entertaining." Beerus said. But then the room was filled with soap. Nobody noticed it until a lot of ponies tripped. Yes, even Twilight was struggling to remain standing. Well, Gohan wasn't, but Goten was sliding across the floor while sitting. "Whee!" He cheered. The Crusaders all followed him. Some ponies managed to keep their balance. Some ponies fell down. Some ponies just flew because, well, they have wings. "...It can't be." Beerus said. "Be what, my Lord?" Whis asked. "For thousands of years I lay dormant..." A familiar voice echoed. 'Oh no.' Celestia thought. 'Not today, dang it!' Twilight thought. 'Oh brother.' Gohan thought. And let's cut to Pinkie's imagination for some elevator music. Beerus actually stood up and grinned. "Who dares disturb my-" "-You don't need to overcomplicate things, old friend. Just show yourself!" Beerus interrupted. "Old friend!?" Twilight, Gohan, Celestia and Luna asked. Then distinct laughter could be heard. "You're such a bore, Beerus. You don't play around, as usual." Our familiar friend said. Discord appeared beside Gohan, slithering in the air. "It's been too long!" He said. "Discord, it's great to see you again!" Beerus said. "You know Discord!?" Everyone asked. 'H-How...?' Celestia thought. "Well, obviously. Deities know each other very well." Discord said. "From how long ago?" Twilight asked. "Well, let's see... I know I came before and after you turned to stone, so the first time was about 3.5 million years ago, and the next time I tried to visit is a million after that, then I came to Equestria to see you turned to stone." Beerus said. "Do you have the same exalted ideals as before?" Whis asked. "Not necessarily, no." Discord said. "How do y'all know each other...?" Applejack asked, slipping for a few seconds before falling on her face. "Like I said, deities know each other. I'm a God of Chaos, while he is a God of Destruction." Discord said. "Destruction?" Everyone but Celestia and Luna asked. "I'm a destroyer god. I destroy planets that I see irredeemable." Beerus said. "Well that's not very nice!" Pinkie said. "I never claim to be." Beerus said. ... 'I don't know whether to fight him or lay low. I can't measure his strength like this.' Gohan thought. 'How strong is he? I can't sense it.' Goku said. 'Not a good idea, maybe...' Gohan said. 'Just do it!' Goku said. "Er, Lord Beerus, my dad wants to know how strong you are." Gohan said. "I'm the strongest in the universe." Beerus said. "Nothing can get in his way, not even you." Discord said, putting his finger on Gohan's head. Surprisingly, to Beerus, nothing happened. "Well, I guess that would make sense..." Gohan said. "Huh. Your magic doesn't work on the kid?" Beerus asked. "Oh, no. He's too powerful for that." Discord said. "I know killing Frieza is an accomplishment, but that's extraordinary." Beerus said. "Oh, uh... Thank you, Lord Beerus..." Gohan said, bowing a bit. "What brings you here, Discord?" Beerus asked. "Oh, I just happened to drop by, sensed my fellow god was here and- What the heck do you think I'm here for?" Discord asked. "Uh... The party?" Fluttershy asked. "Well, obviously. I'm kinda hurt that you didn't send me an invitation, Celestia." Discord said. "I-I'm sorry, it must've slipped my mind..." Celestia said. "Huh... Perhaps you need a punishment." Beerus said, aiming his palm at Celestia. Celestia was obviously scared. Gohan and Twilight saw that clearly. Beerus had the creepiest smirk on his face... Luna was scared for her sister. She knew what should come next... ... "Hakai." He said. The dreaded word. Celestia expected to be destroyed, but... ... Nothing happened. Discord started laughing his ass off. "Did you really think I cared about your invitation?" He asked. "W-What?" Celestia asked, realizing she still exists. 'I've never seen the princess so scared of something... What is it about Beerus...?' Gohan thought. "It's obvious Discord doesn't care about the party, he came just to see me!" Beerus said. Celestia sighed in relief. So did Luna. "Anyway, continue, Princess Twilight." Beerus said, waving his hand. He walked away and sat back down. Luna was beside her sister for moral support. "Uh... Okay... But Discord has to get rid of the soap!" Twilight said, struggling to keep her balance. Then she fell on her face. "Fine, fine." Discord said, snapping his fingers. It was gone. Goten was standing on one foot and sliding while laughing. (I guess it's funnier to imagine Chris Griffin's laughter) Then the soap was gone, and he fell on his face. Our Crusaders stopped sliding. "Aw..." They whined. Everyone else sighed in relief. But... "Discord, get over here, we have some catching up to do!" Beerus said. Discord slithered on over. Then they started talking again. "I'd like everyone to see this... I studied really hard on it." Twilight said. "No kidding." Spike muttered. Twilight had yellow magic form at her horn. It began taking energy around the horn... "Twilight... Can you explain to me what you're trying to do?" Gohan asked, a little concerned. "Trust me, it'll only be for the better!" Twilight said, straining. She started sweating. "...And then my assface of a brother blew a huge fart in my- What is that?" Beerus asked. Now the conversing gods were intrigued. "OKAY, GET READY!" Twilight exclaimed. She fired! Recoiling back a few inches, her yellow blast created some wind. ~~"THAT'S A LOTTA DAMAGE!" Twilight yelled.~~ Gohan just closed his eyes and braced for impact. It hit! ...The pendant. Twilight stopped her Hyper Beam and panted. "That should do it..." She said. "What is she doing?" Beerus asked. "Well, I could tell you, but that'd ruin the surprise of your dreams." Discord said. "What are you going on about?" Beerus asked. The pendant... Began cracking...? UWAAAAAAAAAHT? "Uh..." Gohan said, very, VERY concerned. Then, it broke into many tiny pieces! Instantly after that, a yellow flash of light appeared! Everyone but the gods and angel was blinded! Beerus looked shocked and stood up. Whis looked on in surprise. The flash died down, and everyone looked to... T-To... Orange gi, blue boots, belt, wristbands, and crazy spiky hair... Without any white glimmers... "No way..." Goku said. "YES!" Twilight cheered. "Do my eyes deceive me...?" Beerus asked. "W-What the...!?" Gohan asked. Goten looked to his side with a surprised face. "Dad!?" He and Gohan asked. "It's you!" Beerus said, pointing at Goku. Author's Note I know you're probably thinking: "WHAT THE FUCK!?!?1? YOU PROM15ED SH1T W0ULD G0 DOWN YOU LYING SACK OF SHIT!" ...Okay, maybe not. If you don't see it, it's the nearly getting destroyed part. Anyway, Goku's back!? Well, shit, we have the three Sons. You know something bad's gonna happen with Goku... ...You might say, some shit will go down. Battle Between a God and a Mortal Pt. 7"I'm me!" Goku said joyfully. He inspected his own body to make sure this wasn't a dream. "D-Dad...!" Gohan said, not knowing how to react. "Yay! Daddy!" Goten said, tackle hugging his father in the chest. Goku couldn't really take it all in at once. But he had to do something. "H-Hey, Goten...!" He said, hugging him back. He started laughing nervously. "Is this real...?" He asked himself. Gohan couldn't believe it. To the point where he just couldn't stop staring in pure joy and confusion. He was pretty much paralyzed with euphoria. Twilight was squealing at the fact her magic worked. Beerus knew Goku looked very familiar from his dream... Whis was astonished that Twilight had a reanimation spell. Everyone else was surprised. The Mane 6 and Spike, notably. Not necessarily the other ponies, they didn't even know what was happening. Except Luna and Celestia. "Bravo, Princess, bravo!" Discord said, clapping and standing. "Indeed. Reanimation is a very noteworthy ability." Whis said. Twilight squealed even more because living organisms actually noticed. "It's you!" Beerus said, pointing at Goku. "Uh... Huh?" Goku asked. Goten looked to Beerus strangely, too. "You're the Super Saiyan God in my dream!" Beerus said. "Really...? Um... I'm not a Super Saiyan God." Goku said. Gohan snapped out of his trance by shaking his head. "I think we established this already." He said. "Well, Lord Beerus, it seems your prediction was actually wrong after all." Whis said. Beerus grunted. "Ugh. Fine, Whis." He said, defeated. "Wait... What happened?" Cadence asked. "It's a reanimation spell, of sorts." Twilight said. "H-How...!? Why!? I can't...! Believe!" Gohan stuttered. "I basically changed the roots of the reconstruction spell and overloaded it with positive magic! That's the basic part, you don't know how much chemistry and math came into the mix." Twilight said. "I didn't understand any of that!" Goku said. "I did a science." Twilight said. "Ohh." Goku said. "You brought this guy back to life?" Shining Armor asked. Flurry Heart was happy at the sight of Goku and tried reaching for him. "It's Gohan and Goten's father, Son Goku!" Rarity said, surprised. "What!?" Basically everyone but the main cast asked. I mean, the Mane 6, Spike, Saiyans, and Royal Sisters. "Uh... Well, I don't really know most of you, but it's great to meet ya...!" Goku said. He hasn't really talked to anyone other than Gohan for a while. And Sunset, a few times. And indirectly towards Goten. "Well... The hair matches Goten's..." Shining Armor said. "But your faces are all alike..." Cadence said. "Ooh, is that Flurry Heart?" Goku asked Shining Armor. He walked up to him. "Yeah." Shining Armor said. "Can I see her? I wanna be her god....Grand... Uh... Whatever the word is." Goku said. "Honestly, I don't think it exists." Gohan said. "Just call me grandpa!" Goku said. "I suppose that works...? In a way..." Cadence said. "Well, I guess we know you now, so sure!" Shining Armor said, holding the baby up to Goku. Flurry Heart reached out to Goku while giggling. "Isn't that just cute?" Fluttershy asked. Goku took the baby, and well, Flurry Heart tried grabbing his face. Goku chuckled, tickling her in the chest. Obviously, Flurry Heart ended up giggling and laughing. Once Goku stopped, she grabbed his wacky hair. (By wacky, I mean fucking reality defying. You see it from the front, it's sideways. Makes sense. Then you see it from the side, it's the same as if you were seeing it from the front. What the fuck? I'm not even kidding.) "Aw! You got my hair! Hehehe- Ow!" Goku said, as she pulled REALLY hard on it. Goku accidentally let go of the baby to hold his head in slight pain. Flurry Heart let go and started flapping her wings while giggling. Shining Armor and Cadence slightly gasped. "Uh..." Gohan said. Beerus was looking at the scene because, well, it seemed interesting. It's kinda getting his mind off his blunder. "I'm going to look at what else they have to eat." Whis said, walking away. "Don't pull my hair...!" Goku said. Flurry Heart just giggled as she jabbed him in the stomach. So, he was caught off guard and felt that... He grabbed his stomach next because, again, unexpected. She has some physical strength, too... Flurry Heart was about to smash her hoof into Goku's face before he caught her teeny tiny hoof with two fingers. "Jeez! I know you're strong, but dang! That's awesome!" Goku said. The baby alicorn giggled as she tried pulling her hoof away. Cadence used her magic to carry Flurry Heart. So Goku let go. "I'm sorry, somepony forgot the other spell." Cadence said, giving Shining Armor the evil eye. Shining Armor was sweating. "Oh, it's fine. She packs a punch, but it doesn't hurt. At least not anymore." Goku said. "Well, let's get you something to eat, you haven't eaten for the entirety of your imprisonment. Which was 1082.7103 hours." Gohan said. About 45 days. "You counted?" Goku asked. "I made a mental note of when I got the necklace." Gohan said. "What is this 'mental note' you speak of?" Goku asked. "I expected you to say that... It's like a note you take in your head." Gohan said. "Oh. Well, yeah! I need some grub!" Goku said. "Twilight!" Pinkie yelled. "What?" Twilight asked, confused at Pinkie's sudden anger. "You didn't tell me to request a planet's worth of food! You told me half a civilization!" Pinkie said. "What?" Twilight asked. "We don't have enough food." Pinkie said. "Oh." Twilight said. "Pinkie Pie, do not worry yourself." Celestia said. "The chefs are more than prepared to cook up a storm." Luna said. "Though, it should take some time." Celestia said. "That's okay! I know what I need to do to kill some time!" Goku said. "Whatever it is, I hope it's fun." Beerus said. "Well, I dunno. Do you like fighting, Lord Beerus?" Goku asked. 'Oh no.' Gohan thought. "It's true that I enjoy a good fight once in a while. Elaborate." Beerus said. "You're supposed to be really strong, right?" Goku asked. "Correct." Beerus said. "How about showing me a teensy bit of your strength, huh?" Goku asked, showing the teensy with two fingers. "You want me to demonstrate my power... What have you in mind?" Beerus asked. 'Oh no.' Celestia and Luna thought. "We can go toe-to-toe in a sparring match, even for a minute!" Goku said, as excited as a little kid going to Toys R Us. "Do you even hear yourself...!?" Celestia asked. "Yes, Goku. Do you even know what you're saying? Challenging a god of destruction?" Discord asked. "I have lived for a very long time..." Beerus said. "...But never have I been issued a challenge such as yours..." He said. "You seem to be quite sure of yourself... Or could it simply be... That you're just an arrogant fool?" He asked. "Son Goku, it is highly recommended that you do not face Lord Beerus..." Luna said. "What? But why not!? I haven't had a proper fight since yesterday!" Goku said. "Yeah... Why not?" Beerus asked, standing up. Goku got all excited. "Go ahead and come at me with everything you've got." Beerus said. "All right! Sweet!" Goku cheered. "Hold on a minute!" Gohan said. "This is the worst place to fight! There are bystanders!" He said. "Hmm... You're right. Whis." Beerus said. "All right, my lord." Whis said, putting his finished cup of pudding down. He jabbed his staff into the ground, and with that... Goku, Beerus, Gohan and the Royal Sisters were taken to a field. An empty field. "This way, you can go all out without harming anyone. Sound good?" Beerus asked. "Yeah!" Goku said. "...But are you sure you want my full power right off the bat?" He asked. 'This is the one time that dad is being arrogant...' Gohan thought. "If I hurt you, I don't want you getting all ticked off and unleashing your anger on this planet..." Goku said. "You have my word." Beerus said. "Well, let's begin." He said. ... Gohan just looked on in confusion. The Royal Sisters were freaking the hell out! Goku smiled as he took a deep breath. Let's cut to our party for a moment! *** ... "What just happened?" Twilight asked. "It appears my best buddy forgot to invite me." Discord said, pouting. "Where are the princesses?" Applejack asked. "And what am I going to do with all this food that the chefs just prepped!?" Pinkie asked, revealing a whole table, fresh with new plates and food. "I'll eat some!" Goten said. ... "Well, I guess the other bottomless pits will have to wait... Dig in!" Pinkie said. "I call the sweets!" Pinkie yelled. *** "...Okay." Goku said. He instantly turned into a Super Saiyan! With the aura... "See, first, I have to go Super Saiyan." Goku said. Then, Goku powered up while grunting loudly. He created many winds... He turned into a Super Saiyan 2! "All right!" He yelled, throwing a fist in the air. "Now, I'm a Super Saiyan 2!" He said, lightning flashing all around him. "Well, well. This is a surprise. It appears that that Super Saiyan talk wasn't just a bunch of hot air after all..." Beerus said. "Not bad, huh? But if you want, I could dial it back to 1 for ya." Goku said, cocky. "No, no. That won't be necessary." Beerus said. "Well, just try your best." He said. Goku took that as an insult... "You still doubt me...? Fine!" He yelled, darting at Beerus. He left a bunch of dust behind him. He was about to reach Lord Beerus, but teleported behind him to throw a powerful punch! But... With a purple flash of light, Beerus caught the fist with his back turned. Goku was surprised... Beerus hurled him casually across the grass, making him slide. Goku turned while sliding and stopped his momentum. But when he looked up, Beerus was right in front of him, scaring him. Beerus flicked him in the forehead... Sending Goku straight into the ground! Gohan was shocked that his dad was getting thrown around like this. Goku flew up from the debris, flying sky high. He grunted in pain, realizing he bled from the mouth a bit. He wiped it, and looked down at Beerus, who gestured for him to come at him. Goku took it as even more insulting, and clouded his judgement. Without thinking, he powered up, using the Kaioken! "Super Kaioken!" He screamed. His yellow aura instantly turned red... Beerus was pleasantly surprised at Goku's stunt. Goku moved around in a flash, darting at Beerus. He threw a kick, which Beerus dodged. Goku kicked a bunch of rocks upwards. But Goku threw a bunch of punches at Beerus, who just dodged them casually! Goku threw a kick, which he missed again. Beerus jumped up this time. Goku then threw another barrage of punches at Beerus, who blocked them all with a flurry of kicks... Beerus maneuvered behind Goku, all the while smirking. Goku was so irritated that... "TIMES THREE!" He screamed. Making his red aura flare even more. He hurled a fist right at Beerus! But Beerus dodged again... Goku slammed his fist right into the ground, sending seismic waves all over the planet! *** In Mostcow... "Nu blyat!" A Russian pony yelled at another Russian Pony. "Vrod, blyat! Cyka!" "Idi nahui!" Then the ground exploded nearby! "Tchevo blyat!" "Debil!" *** Beerus maneuvered behind Goku again, only to catch him by surprise. Beerus held a chop above his neck while smirking... And gently tapped his neck. Goku lost all his power in that one moment, and... Instantly reverted back to base form. He fell to his knees before collapsing entirely. "Dad!" Gohan yelled. Celestia and Luna were just surprised. Beerus started walking away while whistling. Gohan immediately rushed to his father. 'Crapbaskets...' He thought. Goku was out cold... Gohan reached into his pouch of senzu beans. "He was a formidable warrior, I must say." Beerus said. Gohan dropped it in Goku's mouth. "But he wasn't a challenge for me. Whis, let's head back to the party." Beerus said. Jesus Christ, look at the devastation of this poor field! The holes and shiet... Goku instantly sprang up. "Phew! Thanks Gohan!" He said. Beerus turned around in shock. "What?" He asked. "Well, look who's conscious?" Gohan asked. "Man, you're really awesome, Lord Beerus! I can't believe you're so strong!" Goku said. "I'm really glad he didn't kill you, making you dead for the third time." Gohan said. "How'd you get back up?" Beerus asked. "Senzu beans!" Goku said. "They heal all wounds and restore stamina." Gohan explained. "Some sort of wonder drug, eh? Sounds interesting." Beerus said. "I guess you could categorize it as a drug." Gohan said. Our princesses have been rather quiet... "It's always a pain when it hurts in there... But, eventually, you'll like how it feels!" Goku said. Innuendo... ... "...I need an adult." Gohan said. "I am an adul-" "No. No you are not." Gohan interrupted Goku. "Goku, you are a very formidable warrior." Beerus said. ~~"AH AM A SUPAH STAH WARRIAH!"~~ "I commend you on your progress... For a mortal." Beerus said. "Thanks!" Goku said. "Let us return to the festivities... I heard that you're hungry." Beerus said. "Yeah!" Goku said. "Whis." Beerus said. Whis tapped his staff on the ground. Author's Note Holy shit, this took a long while. I've been trying to edit the shithole of a Season 3 as much as I can but, MAAAAN! It still looks and smells like shit! So it's not done. I've been wasting my time on that... But I got this done. Sorry for the wait. Battle Between a God and a Mortal Pt. 8Goten was groaning in the corner... He sat down, rubbing his stomach. He ate a little too much... But there's still a lot of food. The Crusaders were all poking him, trying to get him to move. "Come on! Wake up!" Applebloom said, poking Goten in the face. "Come on!" Scootaloo said, poking him in the chest. ~~"Do math!"~~ "Stop... It hurts..." Goten said. So they left him alone. Pinkie was just gobbling sweets down, definitely getting the diagnosis for diabetes later. Does she even have a doctor? Cadence was trying to spoon feed Flurry Heart while Shining Armor held the baby. Twilight and Spike were chatting about her accomplishment. "So that's why you killed the plant?" Spike asked. "I brought it back to life after you went to sleep." Twilight said. "Here I was, thinking you finally went insane." Spike said. "I wanted it to be a surprise for everyone..." Twilight said. "Well, it wasn't a surprise for everyone, now." Discord said, right behind Twilight. So Twilight kinda screamed in surprise. Discord started laughing. "How'd you get scared by that!?" He asked. "I didn't expect it!" Twilight said. "What do you mean it wasn't a surprise for everyone?" Spike asked. "I saw it coming from a mile away. Probably because I read your mind as you announced it." Discord said. "You can do that?" Twilight and Spike asked. "Well, what do you expect from me? I'm a god of chaos, I can bend reality!" Discord said, literally bending reality in half... Everyone started screaming since their bodies were only visible on the bottom of their hooves and somehow that was connected to their heads. Discord had his laugh and reversed it. "That isn't funny!" Twilight said. "Wait... Then how come you let Gohan beat you?" Spike asked. "Oh, I'm not sure of everything, now. Anything that's clearly much stronger than my physical form is either barely affected by my magic or isn't affected at all." Discord said. "Did Goku and Gohan feel those changes?" Twilight asked. "Not likely. Goten only had half of the effects, if you didn't notice. Oh, and he didn't even notice. Hah! And we know how much stronger the older ones are." Discord said. "Uh... No we don't." Twilight said. "Oh. Monumental." Discord said. The six who previously disappeared reappeared. "Well, now I have something to scale him to." Gohan said. "You're back!" Twilight said. "After giving the other side of the planet a huge earthquake." Discord said. Goku scratched his cheek and had an awkward smile. "Yeah, I tried going all out..." He said. Celestia and Luna whispered. "I suppose Son Gohan knows Lord Beerus' resolve..." Luna said. "But what does he think about it...? Is he arrogant?" Celestia asked. "I don't believe so... He doesn't like fights, so I suppose he's safe." Luna said. "You two." Beerus said, snapping them back to reality. "I think we're about done here..." He said. The sisters sighed in relief... "I deem this planet to be okay. It will survive... For now." Beerus said. "Oh, good. I was planning on going to limbo for a million years again." Discord said, wearing a suit and tie while holding a suitcase. "I remember when Master Roshi went to limbo." Goku said. "He did?" Gohan asked. "Oh, yeah. When Demon King Piccolo survived the Evil Containment Wave, it put too much strain on the old man's body and he died." Goku said. "But since it was the Demon King, he never actually died." Discord said. "I-I'm... Surprised you knew that." Goku said. "I'm surprised that you haven't been destroyed by now." Discord said. "Huh?" Goku asked. "I'm done here. Whis, let's go." Beerus said. "My lord, you haven't tasted the desserts of this place yet..." Whis said with a smirk. "Desserts? Hmm..." Beerus said. 'WHY!?' Luna and Celestia thought. "Maybe I'll stay for a few sweets..." Beerus said, looking over to the table of food. Pinkie was, well, still devouring sweets... The dessert trays were nearly empty. She was basically eating pudding right about now. So Beerus wasn't exactly excited. "There's nothing left!" He yelled. "There's some delectable pudding left. It's very tasty." Whis said. "Explain." Beerus said. "It's a creamy confection. It looks like sludge but it tastes like heaven." Whis said. Beerus' mouth watered at that. "Then I'll just have that." Beerus said. "It's right over there." Whis said. Beerus and Whis walked over to Pinkie. Or, the tray, more specifically. "Hmm... I could've sworn there were about twelve cups here a minute ago." Whis said. "Well, there's only one more. It's all for me!" Beerus said, about to grab it. ... Then it disappeared before he grabbed it. "MINE!" Pinkie said. Beerus was first surprised, then angry. He turned to Pinkie, who was holding the pudding cup. "What the...!?" He asked. Celestia and Luna mentally screamed. "I grabbed it first, so it's mine!" Pinkie said. "What!?" Beerus asked. "I'm sure you've eaten more than enough... Can you spare one for Lord Beerus?" Whis asked. Pinkie stuck her tongue out. "What!?" Beerus asked, more pissed. "You're being a rude guest!" He yelled. Let's cut back to the Saiyans... Gohan and Goku were sitting beside Goten. His tummy ache was leaving... "Did you win?" Goten asked. "Nah. He's too good." Goku said. "Oh... That's okay, you're still the coolest to me!" Goten said. "Aww... Thanks, buddy." Goku said. "That's sweet." Gohan said. "Well, we almost have the whole family!" Goku said. "What's going on over there?" Goten asked, pointing at Beerus and Pinkie. "I WANT THE PUDDING!" Beerus yelled. "I WANT IT MORE!" Pinkie yelled. "GIVE ME THE PUDDING RIGHT NOW YOU PINK DIABETIC!" Beerus yelled. Pinkie was very insulted... So she gobbled down the whole cup! She crossed her forehooves. ... Celestia was speaking with the chefs. "We have more pudding, right!?" She asked. "I'm afraid not, Princess... We ran out." The male chef said. Celestia and Luna looked worriedly at Beerus... He had a purple aura around him... He looked severely pissed off. He grunted very loudly. "You... have made me MAD!" He screamed, unleashing his pressure intense aura everywhere. The winds alone kept ponies from looking. The ground below him actually cracked... "Oh dear." Whis said calmly. Pinkie was scared at that. "Can you feel that!?" Gohan asked. "I can taste that!" Goten said. Celestia and Luna rushed to Beerus. "No, Lord Beerus!" Celestia pleaded. "Please, stop!" Luna pleaded. Beerus got immensely angry at this distraction and roared even louder, pushing the two aside. "What in the hay is going on!?" Applejack asked, holding her sister close. "Oh no..." Gohan said, standing up. "That doesn't look good." Goku said. Beerus made the tables and food fly everywhere. "You have failed to show me respect as a destruction god..." Beerus said grimly, holding up a hand. Gohan was running towards Pinkie as fast as he could. "And now you shall be punished!" Beerus yelled, unleashing a yellow blast on Pinkie. Gohan appeared in front of her at the last second in an attempt to shield her. *** Outside the castle wall... BOOM! Gohan was flying out the wall! Debris and bricks flew everywhere... Gohan landed on his back 10 feet away. He shielded Pinkie, so she was unharmed. But he took that head on. He struggled to get himself back up from that... His shirt was torn a bit. He managed to sit up. Pinkie zipped away from that scene. "Equestria has failed to give me the respect I deserve..." Beerus said. "So what...!?" Gohan asked. "It's time..." Beerus said. Then the Royal Sisters dreaded these words. "...to punish Equestria." He said. Author's Note I really took my sweet ass time with this one. Wow. Anyway, shit's finally gone down. Can Gohan stand up to Beerus...!? I dunno. Battle Between a God and a Mortal Pt. 9In the Land of the Kai's... "YOU HAVE TO BE KIDDING ME YOU STUPID PINK HORSE!" Old Kai yelled into the crystal ball. "P-Please calm down..." Shin, the Supreme Kai said. "What do you mean 'calm down!?' There isn't a switch in my brain that just allows that to happen!" Old Kai yelled. *** "It's time to punish Equestria." Beerus said. Everyone gasped. "Well..." Discord said, wearing his suit and tie again. "It was nice knowing this place." He said. "Punish Equestria!?" Gohan asked. "This is what happens when mortals don't share their pudding!" Beerus yelled. "Wait a minute, please!" Celestia pleaded. Beerus shot her a death glare, making Celestia sweat. She was visibly scared by Toriyama's favorite cat. "It's no use delaying the inevitable, so I suggest you let it happen quickly." Beerus said, holding a hand to the ground. A purple orb of destruction energy appeared. "No!" Gohan yelled, getting up. All eyes were on him. "I... I won't let you!" He said. Beerus gave a creepy smile and made the energy disappear. He put his hand back into it's original position. "Typical fool... If you're as arrogant as your father to fight me, then you don't learn." Beerus said. "I don't know if I can defeat you..." Gohan said, placing a hand on his clothing. He pulled it off to show his gi. (Like pretty much every Saiyan in the actual movie. They happened to have their battle outfits underneath...?) "...But there's no way I'll let you destroy this planet!" He said. He looked extremely determined. Like on the Day of Destiny. (If you know what I mean, then you get an imaginary cookie.) Celestia and Luna now placed their hopes on him... Goku knew he wouldn't be of help for once... Goten was confused as to what was happening, but managed to know that the planet might be fucking gone. "Well, I might as well go to another reality." Discord said, snapping his fingers. Then he disappeared. "Well..." Gohan said. His heart was pounding, he was already sweating. He couldn't fathom Beerus' strength... Especially from that last blow. And the fight preceding this one. "Well, then... Come on. Show me your true power." Beerus said. Gohan bent his knees and powered up! Instantly turning into a Super Saiyan 2! "Let's start with Super Saiyan 2!" He yelled. "Hmph." Beerus responded with a smile. In an instant, Beerus appeared in front of Gohan, catching him by surprise. He threw a punch at Gohan. Gohan barely managed to dodge it. Beerus threw more punches, of which Gohan either barely deflected or dodged. But eventually, Beerus punched him upwards on the chin, sending Gohan flying up. Everyone had to look up to actually see him, he was really far up. Beerus quickly flew after him. Goku and Goten ran out of the castle. "Gohan!" They both yelled. Beerus punched Gohan in the gut, making him cough. He gave Gohan no time for recovery, because next he was punching him in the face numerous times. So there was a few uninterrupted seconds of that... "D'oh! Ack! Crap! Baskets!" ... ~~"Thinking of you, Goku!"~~ Finally, Beerus kicked Gohan in the stomach before kicking him in the face. "Uwah!" It was jagged, so Gohan was kicked downward. Gohan yelped in pain as he crash landed. He never felt such power before... "He didn't even last a minute up there!" Goku said. "Gohan!" Goten yelled. Gohan looked up to Goten while he was on his knees. "Take this!" Goten yelled, throwing the sheath and sword at Gohan. 'Tapion's sword!' Gohan thought. He caught it and unsheathed the sword. "Weaponry against me?" Beerus asked, before landing softly. "You're an even bigger fool." He said. Gohan stood up and dropped the sheath. He held the sword with two hands. "I can do this!" He yelled. "You'll die trying." Beerus said nonchalantly. Gohan instantly darted at Beerus, and he slashed down on Beerus! ...But... Beerus blocked the blow with one finger, and, well... The sword was split in two. '...That's not goo-' Gohan thought before he was punched away. He slid across the ground for a moment. Everyone gasped. Gohan got back on his feet while holding the handle. 'That was such a good sword, too...' He thought. "Dang it!" He said, dropping the handle. "I'm going all out on this one...!" He yelled. "Oh boy..." Goten said. "Show me your power!" Beerus yelled. Gohan powered up and yelled. While this over exaggerated yelling is occurring, let's cut to our other bystanders. "Pinkie!" The rest of the Mane 6 yelled. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Pinkie apologized. She really looked sorry. "Why did you do that!?" Twilight asked. "I really didn't mean to, my doctor told me I have an eating disorder!" Pinkie said. "You have a doctor?" Everyone asked. "Yep! He's my imaginary friend, Dr. Fr. S. An. D. Doctor! He tells me to do stuff..." Pinkie said. She looked to the side. "Don't you sass me!" She yelled. "Who are you talking to?" Rarity asked. "Doctor, these are my friends!" Pinkie said. ... "I know that, but you can't say that in front of her!" Pinkie said, looking angry. "Are you okay...?" Fluttershy asked. "I think she's lost it." Twilight said. "What about Lord Beerus?" Applejack asked. "Gohan's gonna handle it, chill out." Rainbow Dash said. "You don't understand." Celestia said. She and Luna appeared out of nowhere... "Beerus the Destroyer is an unstoppable force... If he says it, he means it, and nothing will stop him." Luna said. "Indeed... A thousand years ago, he visited and nearly destroyed the planet..." Celestia said. "What happened?" Fluttershy asked. "He had a hatred for our cuisine, so he wanted this planet destroyed." Luna said. "Our mentor, Star Swirl the Bearded concocted a fruit salad to calm him, somehow..." Celestia said. "Then do that now!" Rainbow Dash said. "This isn't a case of food, Rainbow!" Twilight said. "It's me..." Pinkie said, looking sad. "It's okay, but now..." Luna said, looking towards Gohan. Who was still yelling. "Doctor, shut up!" Pinkie yelled. He finally created a sphere around him that shattered into a million pieces. From that, he emerged as a Super Saiyan 4! Beerus... Looked genuinely surprised. 'What is this...? How can a mortal get this strong?' He thought. Gohan let his aura loose, powering up to his utmost limits. He put a crater into the ground below him... But it was a tiny crater. With a radius of 3 feet. Why did I mention that...? Because I like math. Gohan stopped his little burst and let his aura calm down. It went back to a normal aura. Gohan took a deep breath. In... And out... "I'm ready." He said grimly. Beerus just looked on in confusion. Whis was even looking in slight astonishment. "Yeah, he's a Super Saiyan 4 now!" Goten cheered. "That's my son!" Goku cheered. "What an interesting mortal..." Whis noted. "I'm going to win this, no matter what!" Gohan yelled. Author's Note A chapter in a day!? Get outta here! I've been playing the shit out of Dragon Ball FighterZ. ~~Teen Gohan main lol what do you expect~~ Anyway I concocted this chapter ~~that I got out of the garbage~~ so please try to enjoy. Battle Between a God and a Mortal Pt. 10"So that's a Super Saiyan 4..." Beerus said. "I'm not losing to you. Get ready!" Gohan said. "You're so sure of yourself..." Beerus asked. He seemed to be sure of himself, but really, he wasn't sure of himself. Beerus seemed unfazed by his transformation... "Well, then. Come at me with all you have." He said. Gohan grunted before he flew right at Beerus. He threw a heavy punch! Beerus... He blocked with his hand. Gohan didn't pay much attention to that, he started throwing punch after punch after punch. All the while yelling that fabled "ATATATATA" Beerus blocked the same way for every punch. Everyone was just looking in awe and confusion. I mean, now there are shockwaves from just the fists alone. Eventually Gohan threw a much heavier fist, which Beerus finally dodged. He instantly punched Gohan in the jaw, spinning him around. By that, I mean he made Gohan horizontal and he's spinning a few centimeters off the ground. So he's kinda like a helicopter. Gohan used the painful momentum to cup his hands together and smash them into Beerus' face! Right in the cheek! Beerus was hit... Actually, he was knocked away into the air! "All right! He did some damage!" Goku cheered. "Now he can win this!" Goten cheered. Celestia and Luna were confused. "Did he just...?" They asked each other. "Princesses..." Shining Armor said from behind, holding Flurry Heart. Cadence was with them, too. "I think you need to explain to us what's happening." Cadence said. "Of course." Celestia said. Beerus stopped his momentum instantly. "All right, mortal..." He said. Gohan put two fingers to his head and teleported way above Beerus. He put his hands back together for another Double Axe Handle. He came crashing down on Beerus! And he actually hit him again! Beerus was sent flying down to the ground, but just stopped himself before reaching it. He still seemed... Unfazed. Gohan flew down at him, winding up his fist. He let out a small war cry as he did this. He was about to punch Beerus until... Well, he stopped right before he touched Beerus. Why? Beerus stuck his foot up and kicked him in the stomach right before it hit him. So Gohan was pretty locked in place. Beerus maneuvered behind Gohan and kicked him to the side. Gohan was sent flying, but he made his aura flare before flying straight back at Beerus. "Not yet!" He yelled, throwing more punches. Beerus flew straight at Gohan, too. From there, the fight continued on in the sky. But they weren't cloud level. Shockwaves from their attacks colliding could be seen from miles away. Eventually, Gohan started throwing many ki blasts at Beerus. Beerus casually blocked by crossing his arms. Smoke flew everywhere. He still didn't seem fazed at all. Gohan teleported in front of Beerus inside the smoke. There, he charged a Kamehameha! The smoke quickly disappeared as he charged it. "What the..." Beerus asked. "Kamehameha!" Gohan yelled, unleashing the devastating wave on Beerus. Gohan put as much energy as he could into this blast. Beerus blocked, but was being pushed back. Still no signs of seriousness... "FULL POWER!" Gohan screamed. With that, the Kamehameha blast exploded, creating a fierce blue light and huge smoke. It could be seen from all over Equestria. The winds were felt by the bystanders. "I can barely see...!" Goku said, blocking his face with his arms. "I can't see!" Goten said, closing his eyes. The ponies were struggling to stand in place. It finally died down, and Gohan was left panting. 'I should really not put that much energy in my blasts...' He thought. 'But... I think it worked...' He also thought. "How disappointing." Beerus said, shocking Gohan. Beerus made the smoke disappear in an instant. He had his hands behind his back, no cuts, and still no signs of seriousness. "Was that really it? That was no power of a Super Saiyan God." Beerus said. Gohan recoiled a bit. He's mocking him...! 'Wow. I suddenly feel like Vegeta.' He thought. "That's child's play. With a blast as weak as that, it's clear. You're no arch rival of mine." Beerus said. ~~"Shots fired!" Goku said.~~ "I'm not done yet! I won't let you destroy the planet!" Gohan yelled, letting his aura flare. "If you can't see your inevitable demise, then you truly are a fool. You want to experience utmost pain before you die...?" Beerus asked. "I want to protect what I love... If that's considered foolish, then I am a fool! I don't care!" Gohan yelled. Beerus was behind Gohan without him realizing it. "That's not the only kind of fool you are." He said creepily. Gohan turned around in surprise to be met with a punch to the cheek! A crack could be heard. Beerus angled his attack downward, and Gohan flew down to the ground. He yelped when he crash landed again. "No!" Goten said. Gohan managed to stand up from that... That knocked the wind out of him. "I... I'm still in..." He barely said. Beerus landed softly. "Are you done? Or are you going to still persist?" He asked. "You know the answer..." Gohan said. He darted at Beerus! "I'm done fooling around with you." Beerus said grimly. Gohan threw his left fist right at Beerus! Beerus actually caught the fist this time. "You don't know when to quit." He said. Beerus put his other hand in a finger flick pose to Gohan's forehead. Well, that obviously confused Gohan. "This is over." Beerus said, flicking Gohan in the forehead. Gohan was supposed to be sent flying... But Beerus held on to his arm. So... Gohan screamed in immense pain. It felt like his arm was being pulled off... But that wasn't all. His arm eventually started to ripple... Gohan screamed even louder, because all the bones in his arm were actually breaking and breaking and breaking. This was pretty hard to watch for everyone... Practically everyone looked away. Beerus just had the same unfazed expression. Gohan was desperate to get out of it. He tried slamming his other hand into Beerus' arm in vain. It just didn't move. "You mean we're all going to die!?" Cadence asked. "Er... Yes..." Luna said. Cadence cried into Shining Armor's neck. Shining Armor kept his composure, but was obviously having a tough time taking it all in... Flurry Heart did not know about anything, so she was just laughing and acting like a baby. "It's all because of me..." Pinkie said, genuinely sad. "Don't beat yourself up, Pinkie... You couldn't have known." Twilight said. But, then Fluttershy kinda screamed and covered her eyes. Kinda screamed... As in a teeny tiny "Ah!" Not really an "AAAAAHHHHH!" Rarity couldn't look either. The Crusaders all covered each other's eyes. "What in the hay are y'all-..." Applejack said before she realized what was happening. "What the heck is happening to his arm!?" Rainbow Dash asked. "How is that even physically possible!?" Twilight asked. "Uh oh." Applejack said. Gohan was still trying to get free, because with each second passing, each bone was being broken in half. Half in half in half in half in half... The pain was unbearable. "Stop!" He pleaded. Beerus showed no sign of letting go. Gohan kept trying in vain. "Stop hurting my brother!" Goten screamed. Beerus looked to his side to see a Super Saiyan 2 Goten charging straight at him. Even Goku was following him in the same way. It's like lookalikes. Beerus finally let Gohan go. Well, Gohan was still flying a few feet before he crashed on the ground. He coughed a bit of blood. "We're not going down without a fight! Take this!" Goku yelled. Him and Goten started throwing as many punches and kicks as they could. Beerus somehow dodged everything while standing in place. This went on for a while. Gohan struggled to get himself up. Even to sit up was a challenge. The forehead flick alone just knocked the wind out him, and the arm breaking/liquefying was the icing on the cake. Speaking of which... "Not again...!" Gohan managed to say. Beerus had enough of Goku and Goten's relentless assault, and he widened his eyes. He created a huge invisible force while also creating extreme winds... Goku and Goten were pushed back immensely, while also taking a lot of damage. Goten was knocked back too much, and crashed into the wall. Goku managed to hold out... As soon as the winds ended, he clearly took a lot of damage. He was sweating bullets from just that. But he didn't give up! He made his aura flare intensely! "Body... Don't let me down!" Goku said to his body. His aura turned into a crimson red. So it was Kaioken. "You morons don't know when to quit." Beerus said. Goku charged at Beerus, throwing a fist down at him! But it was light, not hard. Beerus dodged again, moving back a bit. He was expecting a repeat of last time. But Goku changed his pattern. Goku jumped, getting into a cannonball pose and flipping over to behind Beerus. He threw his elbow back at Beerus. Beerus was somewhat glad Goku didn't just repeat his previous mistakes. But nonetheless, it didn't matter. Beerus jumped forward to dodge that. He turned around to see Goku throw a ki wave at him. Beerus just flicked that away. Goku didn't finish there, he dashed forward to perform a sweep kick. Beerus jumped up to avoid that. Goku jumped upwards to throw an upwards kick! Beerus decided to fly up higher. Goku flew higher to come right back down with a double axe handle. Beerus dodged and landed quickly. Goku came down at him charging a Kamehameha. "Kamehame..." He yelled. Beerus held his hand up to block the incoming blast. But, Goku did something new. He disappeared from sight. Beerus didn't realize that Goku used Instant Transmission. And he looked behind him to see a- "HA!" Goku screamed, putting as much into this blast as he could. A direct hit! The blast blew into the skies. The clouds around it just disappeared or had a huge hole in them. It blinded practically everyone nearby. And after Goku finally let up... Smoke was everywhere. No sight of Beerus. His aura disappeared, and he was a regular Super Saiyan 2 again. He was panting extremely hard. 'Did I... Did I win?' He thought. He recoiled a bit from the Kaioken. Little damage on his body... ... "Well, it seems you aren't the Super Saiyan God either." Beerus said from inside the smoke. Goku was beyond surprised and scared. 'Holy...!' Twilight thought. 'Shit!' ~~Krillin~~ Rainbow Dash thought. Beerus quickly made the smoke just vanish. He appeared without as little as a scratch. "Y-You..." Goku managed to say. Then... Beerus just stuck his finger into Goku's forehead. And with that... Goku was locked in place. His pupils just disappeared. Soon after, he revered back to base for and collapsed again. He fainted. "Dad!" Goten yelled. He emerged from the rubble and charged at Beerus again. "Stupid kids...!" Beerus said, starting to get annoyed. Goten threw a punch, and Beerus... Well, he caught it with his index and middle finger. "You stupid, arrogant brat!" Beerus yelled. Goten tried comedically getting his hand out. He tried pulling out the traditional way, then he used his feet to try and push off of Beerus. "L-Let go of me you big meanie!" Goten yelled. So Beerus let go. Goten flipped a flew times before finally falling to the ground. He stood up once more. But he grabbed his hand in pain, because Beerus had a fingertrap grip. "Ow! You bully!" Goten said. "I'm not your playmate, little one. I'm tired of your childish games." Beerus said. "You're one to talk! You're all mad because of some lousy pudding!" Goten yelled. "What... You dare downplay my dessert tragedy?" Beerus asked grimly. Beerus grabbed Goten by his shirt angrily. "It might mean nothing to you, you pudding spoiled brat! But I've never tasted it before! I have no idea what it's like! Is it more creamy?" He yelled with an angry expression. Goten just cowered in fear because a purple cat was screaming at him. "Or gelatinous?" He asked with sweat all over his face. "Is it savory or sweet?" He asked with a regular face. "Lumpy or smooth!?" He asked with a shiny angry face. "Is it a rustic flavor?" He asked with a sweet face. "Or experimental!?" He asked with a chalky angry face. "Rich or tart!? Or spicy!? It could be a brand new flavor, refined on your planet for THOUSANDS of years! And I would never KNOW! It could've shattered my whole understanding of what food is! I'll spend eons wondering 'What if?'! Do you still think that's trivial, boy!? DO YOU!?!?!?1?" Beerus screamed into Goten's face. (Yes, that was intentional.) Goten was tearing up throughout the whole thing... And now he's crying. "Is this just a completely one sided fight? This is just getting weirder and weirder." Twilight said. "We just saw a purple cat scream into a little boy's face and now he's crying." Rainbow Dash said. "Ugh, now you're even crying like a child!" Beerus yelled. He just tossed Goten aside. Goten just tried calming himself down while sitting up. He wasn't a Super Saiyan anymore. "Are there any more contenders available? Or can I finally destroy this planet in peace?" He asked. "N-No...!" Gohan said. He finally sat up. "Oh, come on! You already had a go!" Beerus yelled. Gohan reached into his senzu bean pouch... 'Only one...!? Come on...! Who ate them!?' He thought. Scootaloo happened to burp at this moment. "Excuse you." Sweetie Belle said. 'Better make this one count...' Gohan thought. He ate it. With that, his arm was back to normal and his stamina was restored. He jumped back up. Beerus was surprised. "How did you...?" He asked. "Senzu bean. Healed me right up." Gohan said. "...A wonder drug...?" Beerus asked. "Of sorts." Gohan said. 'Now... How am I going to beat him...?' He thought. Beerus sighed. "I just want to get out of here already, and yet you insist on wasting my time." He said. "I refuse to let you destroy this planet without a fight!" Gohan yelled. "That's it." Beerus said grimly. And with that... Beerus appeared in front of Gohan, surprising him. He grabbed him by the arm. "This will be over in a second." Beerus said, taking his grab back and putting his hand over Gohan's face. Gohan couldn't see at all... Everyone watching was just confused as to what was happening. ... "Sleep." Beerus said, forehead flicking Gohan yet again. This time, with a little bit more force. And in an instant... Gohan flipped over and his head was dragging across the ground. He was dragged very far... Once he finally stopped being dragged across the ground... He just laid there. He lost all of his energy. He couldn't get up. All the bystanders were shocked. Well, except for two. The Royal Sisters. "I'm afraid this was to be expected..." Luna said. "W-What do you mean?" Twilight asked. "We knew from the start that nopony can even fathom Lord Beerus' true strength." Celestia said. "We did not think he would come here, but we were wrong..." Luna said. Goten finally managed to stop crying. And then he saw Gohan just downed in one hit. "Gohan!" He called, running after him. He was at the fallen one's side, trying to get him up. "Get up! Gohan, get up!" He pleaded. Beerus just looked on. No cares. "It seems you're letting me destroy the planet after all. Oh well." He said. He held his hand to the ground with some purple energy. "Gohan, please! You never failed us before, and you can't do that now!" Goten pleaded. Gohan heard everything. He managed to gain the tenacity to move. Even though it was just a little flinch, Goten and Beerus managed to notice. "You cannot be serious." Beerus said, stopping the blast. Gohan moved his arms a bit... He groaned as he slowly pushed off the ground. Goten started chuckling joyfully. "Yeah!" He said. "For my sake!" Beerus said. Everyone looked pretty happy and surprised that Gohan was getting up! Gohan managed to get on his feet, and stood up with a hunched back. He seemed ready to fight yet again! ...Until he couldn't bear to stand and got back down on one knee. ...Wow. That was short lived. As shown on the expression on everyone's face. 'Oh, thank me.' Beerus thought. He walked up to the now downed Gohan. "You fought well, but this is over." Beerus said, aiming a palm at Gohan. Gohan just sat there... He wanted to fight on, he wanted to keep going. But he couldn't muster the strength to stand for even a moment. 'I want to fight... But... I can't...' He thought. Some destruction energy appeared in front of Beerus' palm. "...I'm sorry, everyone." Gohan said to himself. Goten obviously overheard that. "I couldn't protect you this time... I can only hope you can find it in your hearts to forgive me for my weakness..." Gohan muttered. A tear came to his eye. That made Goten think. Gohan... All he had done for him... He... He couldn't leave without giving something back. Beerus finally was about to deliver unto Gohan his end. "Hakai." Beerus said. ... "NO!" Goten screamed. In that instant of a moment, Goten acted. He jumped, and shoved Gohan out of the way! Gohan did not expect that, and was actually shoved away. Beerus looked surprised as to what just happened. He already let the destruction rip. Gohan managed to look back at Goten for one last time... And before the destruction hit him, Gohan could read Goten's lips. "Thank you." With a bright smile... But then... He screamed in agony. As the destruction energy slowly tore every bit of him apart and into nothing... Nearly every bystander looked in horror. Gohan couldn't believe it. "N...No!" He called. He reached out to Goten's disappearing body in vain. And then... Goten was gone. Destroyed. No trace left. He gave his life to spare Gohan, even if it was just as little as a few seconds... Gohan desperately looked around. He moved forward on his knees and tried feeling for anything Goten. No matter what he did... Goten was gone. He was... Gone. Gone forever... Only a feeling of total sadness and anguish filled Gohan. He held his head low. "Hmm. That was unexpected." Beerus said. Gohan grunted. That voice... The voice of the bastard that did this. The bastard that took Goten away. The feeling of sadness quickly washed away with the feeling of intense anger. "You... killed him." Gohan said. Author's Note Shit... Really contemplated about doing this, really did, but this is what I decided. DO NOT WORRY! Goten will come back! Just... Not in the same way as Goku. Actually... Not even remotely similar. It'll be 100% different. End of story. None of that 'living through you' bullshit. Anyway, in other news... I finally got this out. Took my ass long enough. Family issues and major contemplation caused this to be overwhelmingly late. Now expect the next one to be even later. HAHAHAHAHAHA- Just kidding, I hope it's faster. On a final note, you know this story will end soon. ...In like another 10-20 chapters or so. So I'm planning to get another story out after finishing this. Maybe... About Gogeta. Or Vegito. Or both. Or Goku! Or Tien! Or maybe Meme Lord Yamcha! Okay that last one was a joke. Battle Between a God and a Mortal Pt. 11The ponies were all confused. "Wh...What happened to Goten?" Twilight asked. "I don't know..." Shining Armor said. Well, our two princesses knew. Goten was erased from existence. Not dead, just nonexistent. Celestia and Luna held their heads down. "He's... Gone." Luna said. "Gone...?" Scootaloo asked. "Destroyed." Celestia said, looking saddened. Everyone gasped. "D-Destroyed...!?" Fluttershy asked. Everyone was saddened. Pinkie... Her mane flattened while she had a shocked face. "I was going to take out the whole planet, but he just happened to be in the air. Let's try for a second time." Beerus said, walking in front of Gohan. That voice only made Gohan even angrier. He started grunting loudly... "You killed him." He said grimly. "Yeah, yeah, I don't care." Beerus said. With that, Gohan snapped. "You don't care...!?" He asked, looking up at Beerus. Uh... Steam just randomly came out from some parts of Gohan's body. Like the arms and such... Gohan stood up, surprising everyone. He was grunting angrily with each breath. This very moment was just reminding him of the Cell Games yet again... 16's soothing robot voice telling him to let go... ~~"I have waited oh so looong... Please don't tell me-" I'm done.~~ ~~Actually...~~ ~~"HELLOMYNAMEISSIXTEENMAYIPLEASEKILLYOU?"~~ Okay, but REALLY... "Let it go. Please... Drop your restraints." ~~Just imagine if Gohan was actually named Ox In The Box.~~ ~~Ox In The Box goes Super Saiyan 2 for the first time.~~ ~~Mystic Ox In The Box.~~ ~~I'm done.~~ But at the very same time, for some reason, Krillin happened to pop up with these words. You know, to try and calm him down... "Happy thoughts, Gohan, happy thoughts! Breathe, Gohan, you're a leaf! A leaf in a calm stream-" "F**K THE STREAM!" Gohan screamed. "Pardon?" Beerus asked. Everyone gasped at that language! Shortly after, Gohan appeared in front of Beerus as if he jumped. Beerus was caught off guard by this, and was instantly met with a kick to the face! He actually grunted while being pushed back a few feet! His feet dragged across the ground because of this. "Nngh..." Beerus responded, touching his cheek. "I actually kind of felt that one." He said. Gohan screamed to the skies. Gohan's aura flared intensely while he screamed. Rage was evident. He put a huge crater into the ground that came really close to affecting the castle. The louder he screamed, the bigger his aura was. Beerus was intrigued by Gohan's sudden awakening... So was Whis. Goku's limp body just remained motionless. "What is happening!?" Rainbow Dash asked, covering her eyes. "He's screaming!" Twilight yelled. ~~"No fucking shit, Sherlock!"~~ Gohan's aura was also very bright. So bright that most of the ponies couldn't see. Gohan finally stopped screaming, but he tried containing it while letting out grunts. His aura remained strong. Beerus looked... Actually a little pleased. "Your power is continually rising... It's actually very impressive." He said. "Your compliments mean nothing to me!" Gohan yelled. "Fine. I'll make you a deal. If you manage to beat me in a fight with your newfound power, then I won't destroy the planet." Beerus said. "You won't destroy the planet because I'll KILL you before you can do it." Gohan said. "Hmph. I'll give you an extra chance. I'll be using my full power this time." Beerus bluffed. "I don't care, I'll finish you!" Gohan screamed. Right after that, his aura died down to a small trickle. But his rage was still real. He dashed off the ground, shaking the earth around him! He threw a punch while screaming! Beerus blocked with his hand, putting yet ANOTHER crater into the ground. It's like the moon at this rate. Gohan threw a roundhouse, only for Beerus to jump back. "HRAAGH!" Beerus yelled, lunged forward at speeds unimaginable. Not even Gohan could react. He punched Gohan right in the gut, making him cough! Beerus just stopped there. He thought the fight was over, so he just stood there. But he was dead wrong. Gohan made his aura flare before punching him in the cheek! Beerus moved back a few feet for recovery. He was obviously angered by that, so he grunted before he punched Gohan downward! But it didn't send him into the ground. Beerus kicked Gohan in the side and punched him! And that punch sent him flying! Way beyond the horizon. Beerus quickly flew after him. The main cast ponies all rushed outside. The two were just gone. "Should we follow them?" Rainbow Dash asked. "We need to tend to Goku right now." Cadence said. "Okay, who actually wants to see it go down?" Rainbow Dash asked. Only she raised her hand. "Oh, come on!" She complained. *** Gohan was still flying... He was right above the forest beside Foal Mountain. Beerus appeared behind him, and caught him in a chokehold! "So what are you going to do now?" He asked. "Kidney shot!" Gohan quickly elbowed Beerus, getting a kidney shot in. That caught him off guard. "Kidney shot!" He yelled numerous times as he elbowed Beerus repeatedly. "Kidney shot, kidney shot, kidney shot, and pause..." Gohan said. Beerus was somewhat dazed by the attack. "Stomach punch!" Gohan yelled, punching Beerus right in the gut. Beerus coughed, but quickly recovered. He grunted angrily before kicking Gohan in the stomach and kicking him again, but down to the forest. Gohan managed to stop himself from crashing into the ground, but Beerus was flying right at him from the side. Gohan received a body blow, being sent farther away. He crashed into a few trees, but he recovered while flying backwards. He and Beerus landed on separate tree branches. They quickly charged, parrying with a punch, a knee, and another punch, causing debris to fly everywhere! The trees around them started to deteriorate with each blow. Finally, Gohan got a hit in with a screaming rising uppercut. Beerus didn't fly upwards very much, but he was visibly annoyed. Gohan tried getting another punch in, but only ended up getting kicked really hard by Beerus. I mean, wow. As soon as Gohan finally reached the ground, he was dragged across the entire forest. In fact, he even blew through a part of Foal Mountain. He was headed for... Neighagra Falls! Well, he was just above it now. Beerus appeared above Gohan to perform a double axe handle on him! Right into the lake! Gohan managed to stop himself from landing in the river. There there were a bunch of ponies looking confused as to what was happening. Beerus dove down at Gohan. "Tell me, mortal." He said as he threw a punch. Gohan barely dodged. "Why do you persist?" He asked, kicking Gohan into the lake. Gohan made his aura flare and put a huge hole in the water. "Because you killed my brother! I'm avenging him...!" He yelled, charging at Beerus. He threw numerous punches at him. "It's rare to see a Saiyan consumed by a flaw such as pride!" Beerus said, dodging every one. He kneed Gohan in the stomach, but Gohan punched him away. The two ended up falling down to the bottom of the lake, but the water parted as if they were Moses. They kept clashing and breaking the ground beneath them. Gohan kept letting out a war cry with each attack. He was hell bent on getting his revenge. The ground beneath them crumbled, and our fighters fell in. The hole was quickly clogged up with rocks. Eventually, the two reached a cave with water beneath them. The two separated from their clash and jumped away to gain some distance. They stood on water that was originally there. Gohan was panting. Exhausted. His aura kinda shortened. It was evident that he was burning out. "Tired out, are we?" Beerus asked, not having even a scratch on him. "Be quiet...!" Gohan yelled. "You should know that I'm not happy either." Beerus said. "What...?" Gohan asked. "I still haven't even come close to using my full power in this fight." Beerus said. "What!?" Gohan asked. "Yes." Beerus said with a smile. Gohan grunted. "Then I'll just have to get stronger..." He muttered. "Mortals without divine power can never defeat a god. Accept your fate." Beerus said. "I... I challenge my fate." Gohan said. With that, his aura flared brighter. "What...? You STILL persist?" Beerus asked. He looked a bit irritated. Gohan looked ready to fight yet again. "I'm gonna give it all I got!" He yelled. "You'll die trying." Beerus said. Gohan darted right at Beerus. Beerus darted right at him, too, screaming. He elbowed him in the chest, knocking Gohan over. His aura died out. Gohan managed to jump and stand again, but Beerus was already in front of him, kicking him in the shoulder and the side of the knee. Gohan managed to actually blast Beerus away a little. He chased him, throwing a heavy punch. Beerus bent over backwards and kicked Gohan upwards. He back flip kicked, to say. Gohan put two fingers to his head and teleported before hitting the ceiling. Beerus didn't realize that he was behind him before he punched him in the back of the head. Beerus turned around, only for Gohan to repeat the teleportation, trying to get a chop in. But Beerus jumped up preemptively to dodge. He started throwing numerous ki blasts. Gohan did the same right back at him. Now ki blasts were clashing and flying right off course, making for a neat light show if you were able to see it. *** While the other ponies treated Goku, Rainbow Dash, Cadence and Twilight were tasked with tracking the fight. These three were just flying through the skies. They scanned the ground beneath them. A few pegasi could be seen around them. "From what I can tell, they went east before eventually going north..." Twilight said. "I feel horrible for Goten..." Cadence said. "We know..." Rainbow Dash said. Our three eventually reached Neighagra Falls, where the water was still parted like the Red Sea. A bunch of ponies were confused as to what was happening, because for a split second they saw a monkey with red fur with flames and a purple cat fighting and enter the ground. "I'm willing to bet they're down there..." Twilight said. "I can hear the blasts." Rainbow Dash said. *** These blasts were still going. But Gohan was about to change it up. He stopped his blasts. "You fool!" Beerus yelled, adding more blasts. Gohan stood still for a moment, and closed his eyes. Every blast in front of him seemingly stopped. "It's over now." He muttered. He instantly did an... Instant Kamehameha upwards. He destroyed all of Beerus' blasts, and his beam was headed for Beerus! Direct hit! *** "Is Gohan winning?" Cadence asked. "I dunno." Rainbow Dash said. Then... BOOM! A giant blue beam just shot out from the parted ground! It was truly random. "YEP!" Twilight yelled. *** The blast died down. The smoke hadn't parted yet... Gohan panted, as he put a lot of power into that. He just got on his knee. The smoke just parted instantly. Beerus was still there, but was definitely irritated. He blocked with his arms. He looked pissed. 'Oh no... How...!?' Gohan thought. Beerus remained in the air, and screamed loudly. His purple aura flared, and a bunch of ki blasts flew everywhere. Gohan couldn't muster the strength to dodge... The first blast hit him the head, knocking that backwards. More pounded his chest and arms, and now he was being burrowed into the ground. The ki blasts also hit the cavern, so rocks started to bury Gohan. Beerus ended the all directional blasts and focused them all at Gohan. So Gohan was being pounded deeper into the ground as rocks fell on him. "Doh! Ack! Ow!" He yelled. ~~"DOOOOOOODGE!"~~ Beerus finally ended his blast and watched as the rocks crumbled upon Gohan. "Do you see the error of your foolish ways yet!?" He asked. No response. Beerus closed his eyes. "Rest. It'll be the best thing you do right now." He said. "It's over." Beerus said. Gohan couldn't rest. He had to do something. But... 'I can't...! Damn it!' He thought. Beerus flew out from the cavern, and the three ponies saw him exit. "Uh... Is that a good sign?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Doesn't look like it." Twilight said. ... The rocks kept piling on. His body began to shut down. Muscles hurt to much, his breathing slowed. He closed his eyes. Gohan was about to just let go again. You know, finally accept his fate for once? Until he heard these words... "Can you still fight?" He heard. 'W-What...?' Gohan thought. 'Goten...?' "I asked if you can still fight." "I... I want to fight." Gohan said. "In that case... I'll lend you my power." Suddenly, a few imaginary energy drops entered Gohan's forehead. He felt sudden... Jolt. As if he had been pumped full of energy. But that was a fassad. It was a feeling, but not a fact. Gohan couldn't help but imagine a spiritual form of Goten in the formal wear, the same as his father was just a little while ago. And with that... He opened his eyes. "No..." He muttered. "It's not... OVER!" Gohan yelled. "Hraaaaaaaagh!" He screamed. Beerus looked intrigued, as were the ponies. In an instant, a giant yellow aura destroyed some the crumbling rocks around Gohan! Gohan still screamed, traveling through all the rocks and rubble in an instant. His aura destroyed anything in front of him. But something was off... Why could we see a transparent Goten in front of Gohan? Gohan was about to reach the surface, and burst through the ground. The debris remained with him for a while, but once he got close to Beerus' level, it got off. Gohan stopped there, looking up at Beerus with a death stare. His aura kept flaring. The three ponies cheered. "All right!" Rainbow Dash cheered. "He's got this!" Cadence said. Beerus just screamed in annoyance. "You've ruined my perfect ending, you stubborn freak of nature! Will you just stay down already!?" He yelled, pointing at Gohan. But then he looked intrigued again. Something was different this time... Gohan's aura... It was much bigger than he was. But what was inside it was the kicker... A giant mirage of a base Goten could be seen behind Gohan. As if that's his regular aura. He was in the same pose as Gohan, too. "What am I looking at?" Twilight asked. "Wasn't he...?" Cadence asked. Gohan wasn't done yet. It's time for round...5. Wow. Author's Note Okay, so TECHNICALLY this was an incomplete chapter. But it's taking too long for me to post, so this is what I got. As you can tell, Gohan's perception of Goten is imaginary, but for some reason, his mirage is there... Just to clarify, this isn't Goten's return. Not even related. The AftermathIt's been pretty hard for everyone. Goten's gone forever. As soon as Beerus and Whis technically died and ceased to function respectively, this happened. *** ... "What... Just happened?" Celestia asked. "I... Don't know." Goku said. Nobody really knew how to react. Where did Beerus and Whis go? Weren't they about to die...? Why was it cut short? ... "...We should hospitalize Gohan." Twilight said. "His blood is getting on my arms." Goku said. Gohan was actually unconscious now. "Gohan!" Goku said, shaking him a little. Everyone heard some cracking. "Gohan! Hey Gohan!" He said, shaking him some more. And more cracking. Everyone was getting paranoid. "Gohan?" Goku asked, shaking his neck this time. Ew... It was much louder. "Maybe he'll wake up if I shake him some more..." Goku said. "Just stop it, Goku! You'll kill him!" Twilight yelled. "Sorry, sorry." Goku said. "What happened to the senzu beans?" Rarity asked. "His pouch seems empty." Goku said. "Let's get him to the Canterlot Hospital." Twilight said. "Hey... Where's Goten?" Goku asked. ... "...Hello?" Goku asked. "...I'm afraid... He's gone." Twilight said. "What do you mean...? He's dead?" Goku asked. "Er... Sorry..." Twilight said. Now Goku felt like shit for not protecting his son. "...Oh no..." He muttered. He looked shocked, then extremely distraught. Pinkie looked on in horror. She was the one who did this. 'What the heck is wrong with you!?' She thought screamed at herself. She ended up shedding a few tears. ... 'Goten... I'm sorry.' Goku and Pinkie thought. Even Gohan felt that way, despite being unconscious. *** ... ... 'What is this...? Am I dead?' Gohan thought. He was just in a blank space. Nothing here, nothing there, nothing nowhere. 'I assumed that I would go to King Yemma... But this is just nothing.' Gohan thought. But then Gohan could see something far away. A faint purple... And next to it was a faint red. Also a faint white? Gohan walked towards the things he saw... As he got closer, he could start to see what exactly is happening. He started speedwalking... Then running. Sprinting... He went full throttle! "No! Goten!" He screamed. What was he seeing? Goten's destruction. Again. From a different angle this time. He hurried, wanting to save Goten. He rammed into Beerus, and...! ...Phased right through? "What the...!?" He said. "You fought well, but this is over." Beerus said, aiming a palm at Gohan. ... "No!" Gohan yelled, trying to kick Beerus. He turned into a Super Saiyan. Nothing happened, his foot just phased through. "Why!?" He yelled. He stood there, motionless. ... "Hakai." Beerus said. ... "NO!" Goten screamed. In that instant of a moment, Goten acted. He jumped, and shoved the not real Gohan out of the way! Beerus looked surprised as to what just happened. And before the destruction hit him, only the fake Gohan could read Goten's lips. "Thank you." With a bright smile... But then... He screamed in agony. As the destruction energy slowly tore every bit of him apart and into nothing... *** Well, Gohan's in a hospital bed. The Mane 6, Spike and his father were the ones beside him. Except Rainbow Dash. Gohan wasn't in a patient gown, but still had an IV to keep him fed. His heart rate was being monitored, as was his breathing. His boots were taken off. 'I'm really glad I'm not in the bed... I hate hospitals and their needles...' Goku thought. He shuddered at the thought of needles. Looking at Gohan taking the IV needle was like watching a horror movie. Suddenly... Gohan's heartrocket skyrated! He was grunting and moving all over his bed... He looked angry in his sleep... "No...!" He muttered. Now there was sweat everywhere. His heart rate got even faster. He turned Super Saiyan in his bed. "What's happening...!?" Twilight asked. "Whatever it is, I'm guessing it's a nightmare." Goku said. Gohan turned into a Super Saiyan 2...! Goku shook Gohan, trying to wake him up. "Gohan, get up. You're having a nightmare." He said, shaking him. ... "...NO...!" Gohan screamed in his sleep, making his aura flare. Goku was pushed away, and surprised at Gohan's energy output. Then Rainbow Dash suddenly flew in the room. "I got the senzu beans!" She said, holding up a pouch. Goku held his hand up as if to motion her to throw it. Rainbow Dash did just that, and Goku caught it. He took a bean out of the pouch. Gohan was grunting, and his teeth were showing. "Eat up, Gohan." Goku said. Since Gohan wouldn't separate his teeth, this was a lost cause. Goku decided to try and open his jaw, but this is a Super Saiyan 2 jaw, so no. Goku grunted. "Come on...!" He said, turning into a Super Saiyan himself. He managed to get it open a little bit... So he dropped the bean in. Gohan stopped resisting and began impulsively chewing. ... Gulp... Gohan calmed down... He wasn't a Super Saiyan anymore. "Phew..." Goku said. "Thanks, Rainbow Dash. I don't know where Zecora is at all." He said. "Earth ponies and her seem to have the same exact feeling." He added. Gohan started groaning as he woke up... He opened his eyes, then... He immediately jolted awake. "Where am I!? What happened? What's going on...?" He asked. ... "...Oh... Right." He said. ... "Are you okay?" Goku asked. Gohan started tearing up and crying. ... Awkward silence from everyone else. *** Well, Gohan got out of the hospital pretty soon. But remains depressed. Same as Pinkie, she's depressed as well. It's been tough on everyone. Right now, the castle is nearly done being fixed. The funeral/memorial was held at the edge of Ponyville. (Yes, funerals without a dead body exist.) It was basically a table full of Goten and his stuff. His gi, and other keepsakes. There were plenty of photos. Half of them were him and Gohan, acting as a duo. Piggyback rides, training, eating, and all sorts of stuff... The others were of just him, a group photo with ponies like the Main 6, and group photos of him with the Crusaders. There was a bunch of flowers on the table as well. Everyone came in a black suit or dress. Yes, even Goku. Although he thought the suit was incredibly uncomfortable... It was grey with a black tie. Gohan had a black suit with a black tie. The other ones around include the Mane 6, the Crusaders, the princesses, literally everyone in Ponyville, Spike, Starlight, Sunburst, Shining Armor, and Flurry Heart. This would've been a regular memorial... ...But it was just made insanely awkward with Gohan. Why...? He was the one in front the entire time, bawling on his knees. Like, EVERY SINGLE SECOND OF THE MEMORIAL WAS JUST HIM CRYING. The other ponies paid their respects, but Gohan just kept crying in front of the table. Goku felt horrible for Gohan. What was he supposed to do for his son? This is devastating... He just lost one son, the other one's doing through a mental breakdown. The whole service was just the same. 'He'd never forgive me...' Gohan thought. *** Goku took Goten's place in the house... ...But Gohan's changed. He became a depressed little shit. For the next few weeks, he's completely changed. First off- He rarely got out of bed. He stopped crying after day 2, but he would rarely get up to do anything. He barely ate, he barely spoke, and everyone was very concerned about him. Goku couldn't even get him up to train with him. Speaking of whom, he started using that long forgotten gravity chamber (remember that shit?) again. Gohan was a lost case... For now. Our cast excluding Gohan had to help Pinkie. *** Sugarcube Corner. The Mane 6 and Goku were there. Pinkie was also a depressed little shit, so they were going to help her before Gohan. "Pinkie... We need to talk." Twilight said. ... "...About what...?" Pinkie asked. If you don't remember, her mane and tail are flat. She's sad. "You aren't being yourself." Goku said. ... "Pinkie, we want to help y'all. We're all hurt by this." Applejack said. ... "...You wouldn't understand." Pinkie said. A tear came to her eye. "Pinkie, what makes you think we-" "-You don't understand!" Pinkie yelled, interrupting Twilight. She looked angry. And she tears rolled down her face. "I understand." Goku defended, putting a hand on his chest. "How!? You aren't the idiot who made Beerus all angry! You didn't cause Goten's death!" Pinkie yelled, pointing a hoof at Goku. "How do you think it makes me feel not being able to defend my son?" Goku said. "Pinkie, you could never have seen this coming." Twilight said. "None of us did." Rainbow Dash said. "But I still did it! I still got Goten killed!" Pinkie yelled. "Pinkie, I took it upon myself to ask Princess Celestia about Beerus. She asked all tipsy during the party because ANYTHING could've riled him up." Twilight said. "The karaoke part nearly made him destroy the planet without hesitation!" She said. "So Lord Beerus was just a spoiled but extremely powerful being?" Rarity asked. "Princess Luna gave me something juicy too. Apparently, a thousand years ago, he nearly destroyed Equestria because he didn't like the food. Star Swirl the Bearded managed to make a fruit salad to call him down." Twilight said. "Really?" Pinkie asked. "Yeah, and he's the one who convinced Princess Luna to turn into Nightmare Moon." Twilight said. "Really?" Everyone asked. "Yeah. He was a jerk." Twilight said. "Once he was angry, he had a small chance to calm him down, but since everyone decided to fight..." She said. "...So it's basically my family's fault?" Goku asked. ... Twilight didn't want to be frank... "...Yes or no? I'm thinking yeah." Goku said. "...Yes." Twilight said. "Well, that's all of us..." Goku said. "Pinkie, we all need to move on. Everyone had a part in this, and we forgive you." He said. Pinkie didn't really think that helped... Everyone still knew. "I know my sons well, Pinkie. Goten doesn't care if it's your fault or not. In fact, Gohan doesn't admit it, but he thinks it's his fault that Goten's gone. I do the same thing. You're not alone." Goku said. "Pinkie, we will never forget about this, but we need to move on. Acting all depressed and sad won't help... We want our friend back." Twilight said. She hugged Pinkie Pie. 'If my friends are torn up too... Then...' She thought. Her mane and tail were poofy again. Everyone had a smile now. Pinkie jumped up! "Whee!" She yelled. "Yay!" Everyone else said. Pinkie got on the ground again. She pulled out two boxes out of nowhere. "Who wants cake and cookies!?" She asked with the biggest smile. "Me!" Goku said. Pinkie hurled the boxes at Goku, and they burst open with a cake and many cookies. The cake splattered all over his face, but he caught all the cookies with his arms. Goku licked the cake off his face and ate that part. "Ten outta ten!" He said, eating a cookie. "Wow!" Twilight said. "I have cupcakes for EVERYPONY!" Pinkie said, holding two trays of 24 cupcakes. "Yay!" Everyone said. "Wow. I'm surprised you moved on!" Twilight said. "Pfft. I didn't move on! Nopony moves on!" Pinkie said happily. "Uhh...." Everyone said. "It's called coping! Everypony does it! Moving on is a lie!" Pinkie said. ... "I suppose that makes sense." Twilight said. "Now I need to get Gohan back to normal!" Goku said, eating a cookie. *** Well... It failed. The previous ponies and Saiyan went to Gohan, who still won't get out of bed. "Gohan..." Goku said. No response. He was facing away from everyone. He was awake, though. "You need to talk." Twilight said. ... "Gohan, please." Goku said. ... "Please get up..." Fluttershy said. "I have cookies!" Pinkie said, holding a tray of that. ... "Why are you doing this? You've been in bed for two weeks and you have barely eaten anything." Goku said. "You're even getting weaker! This isn't healthy for you." He added. ... "We're all trying to cope, Gohan. But what you're doing is not coping at all!" Twilight said. "You can't just do this, Gohan." Rainbow Dash said. ... "...What do you care?" Gohan asked. "It's WHY we care." Twilight said. "You're beating yourself up too much over this." Pinkie said. "I still got the cookies!" She said. "I'd rather you all leave me alone." Gohan said. He was definitely sad and grumpy now. "You're hurting us like this." Goku said. "I'm fine." Gohan said. "You're no-" "I said I'm fine!" Gohan interrupted Goku. "No you aren't!" Goku yelled. Gohan actually sat up now. He turned to Goku with an angry face. "Just leave me alone already!" He yelled. "Don't you use that tone against me!" Goku yelled. Now this was just a father-son argument. They never had this kind of argument before... "Then go away! I don't want you here right now!" Gohan yelled. "You need me here whether you like it or not! You're never going to move on if you don't settle it right now!" Goku yelled. "You don't understand how this affects me at all! He sacrificed himself for me!" Gohan yelled. "So- Wait, what?" Goku asked, genuinely confused. "He shoved me out of the way before I would've died. Now please, kindly go away." Gohan said. "Gohan..." Pinkie said, putting the tray of cookies down. "We all know that it really wasn't your fault that Goten died." She said. "Don't you lie to me now." Gohan said. "I'm not lying. If Goten sacrificed himself for you, then it isn't your fault." Pinkie said. "If you keep on like this, you'll upset Goten. He looks up to you as if you were his idol. If he saw you like this now, how do you think that would make him feel?" She asked. ... Everyone was shocked at Pinkie's words of wisdom. Gohan actually thought about that... But his ignorance decided otherwise. "I don't care. He isn't even here to see this, so why should I care?" He asked. "Sugarcube, it don't matter if Goten isn't here or not. If he was here, y'all would devastate him. Just like you're doing to all of us now." Applejack said. ... Gohan just started tearing up. 'You're a monster.' He thought to himself. "Just leave me alone..." He quietly sobbed. "Gohan..." Goku said. Gohan snapped. "Just LEAVE ME ALONE!" He screamed. He jumped out from his bed for the first time in a few days and flew out the window. "Ugh, darn it!" Goku yelled. He was about to go after him, but Twilight put a hoof on his shoulder. "He's not ready yet." She said. "He'll never be ready." Goku said. "He will one day. Just give him time." Twilight said. "I really hope he feels better..." Fluttershy said. "We all do, darling..." Rarity said. *** Well, later, he went back to bed, but remained a depressed little shit. This has gone on for a few weeks, and school is starting soon. But we're all forgetting someone here... Sunset Shimmer. She's been sending messages. Gohan hadn't bothered to look. Or didn't realize they were happening. Messages like: "Hey!" "Gohan?" "Are you busy?" "It's been a few days, are you okay? I miss you." "Hey!" "Is something wrong? Please respond." "It's been a week, I'm getting concerned." "Gohan?" "If you answer, I'll make you your favorite dinner!" "Please answer." "Gohan." "Did something happen? I'm really concerned." "I miss you, it's been a few weeks." And such. Really, it's only a matter of time before he finally answers... I hope. Sunset eventually wrote to Twilight with this shit. "Dear Twilight, Hey! How are you? Barely anything happened around here. Is something wrong over there? I've been trying to reach Gohan, but he doesn't answer at all. He hasn't come here either. Do you know anything about that? I'm getting concerned. From, Sunset Shimmer" Twilight wrote back with: "Dear Sunset Shimmer, Hey! Well, plenty of things have happened here. It was just Princess Celestia's birthday, but something happened and it went wrong... In short, somepony named Lord Beerus, who looks like a cat with human limbs, crashed and nearly destroyed the planet. When you see Gohan, I think he'll tell you the rest... Speaking of whom, I don't know what to tell you. He's really changed. I don't know what to do. Maybe he'll move if I get him to see you again? I hope so. From, Twilight Sparkle" School will be starting soon... Will Gohan go? Will he stop being a depressed little shit? Will I post another chapter within a few days? All will be revealed in ~~ten days~~ the next chapter...! Author's Note I know you're all pissed off at my lateness and how shitty this chapter was, but I just drove for eight hours straight... Twice. That's not even the whole of it. That doesn't excuse how bad and how late this was, but that's what happened. Anyway, Season 3 edits aren't done, but it's at over 11k words. Haven't even started the Wonderbolts Academy revision. Next chapters are for Forgotten Friendship... ...After I sleep for a day. Jet lag is a bitch. Oh, and for those who actually bother to read this shit, after this story is finished, I'm planning a Future Gohan story. It won't start as stupidly as this one did. Forgotten Friendship Pt. 1The summer went by quickly. The Mane 7 spent it all together... But they wondered where the hell Gohan and Goten were. Sunset was the most worried... He doesn't answer her messages. Asking Twilight, she didn't give much. ... Anyway, first day of school! It's just amazing...! Our 7 were waiting outside the portal... Hoping our Saiyans would come. ... "Sunset, you wrote to Princess Twilight, right?" Twilight asked. "Yeah, but she said Gohan would explain it to us. But he won't respond to anything I send him." Sunset said. "There's no way they won't show up to the first day of school." Rainbow Dash said. "I hope..." Sunset said. *** After an hour of literally doing nothing, class is starting soon. "...They're not coming." Pinkie said. "Yeah, I'm throwing in the towel." Sunset said. "Anyone else agree?" She asked. "Yes." Everyone else said. Our seven decided to walk into school. *** Gohan never came. The classes for the day are over, but clubs are still here. Sunset Shimmer was in the yearbook club... Actually, she's the President of the Yearbook Committee. So she was tasked with taking photos of a lot of stuff. You know, people doing things... Like her friends reading, playing sports and just hanging out. Or pictures of other people hanging out. Her friends decided to help her with the process of uploading photos to the computer. You know, the hard stuff! Taking the memory card out from the camera with Twilight's magic, having Rainbow Dash put it into the computer... Yeah, the hard stuff. There are a lot of adorable photos. Sunset was looking through all of them... ...But Gohan and Goten were missing. 'It's just not complete!' She thought. "...Hey, do you girls want to see last year's yearbook again?" Sunset asked. "Yeah!" Everyone said. Sunset pulled that Yearbook out from nowhere, and opened it. "Aw...! We look so awesome here!" Rainbow Dash said, pointing to a photo of the group. "This year, we look even better!" Sunset said. "But we still have to wait ten whole months!" Pinkie said, pouting. "Don't worry, we're all going to the same college!...I think. Where is Gohan going again?" Applejack asked. "He said he wanted to go to Marevard." Sunset said. "Oh. Okay, so not all of us, but 7 out of 8!" Rainbow Dash said. They looked at all the superlatives and such... "That's a funny way to use your tail!" Sunset said. There was a picture of Gohan trying to wrap his tail around Goten. He wanted to lift him, but he failed. "They got the 'Inseparable Duo' superlative." Sunset said. "I'm class clown!" Pinkie said, pointing at a picture of her holding a giant megaphone. "You're THE class clown." Twilight corrected. "Huh. I won 'Most Athletic!' I thought Gohan would've earned that!" Rainbow Dash said. "He still wins 'Most Heroic'." Sunset said. "Well, yeah." Rainbow Dash said. "Goten's the 'Youngest Genius.'" Rarity said. "He's a toddler in seventh grade, that's insane." Twilight said. "Ooh! 'Best Friends!'" Pinkie said. "Now the nine of us all won that..." Applejack said. "It was pretty amazing!" Fluttershy said. Well, this went on for a while. "Okay, now. I have to give these back to Principal Celestia." Sunset said, taking last year's yearbook. She started walking away. "We'll work on the current yearbook la-" She said, before accidentally bumping into someone. Some girl with green hair, light green skin and is quiet as hell. They both fell down to the ground. Sunset dropped the yearbook. "Excuse me." The girl said. "I'm sorry. I didn't see you come in." Sunset said, picking up her yearbook. "I've been here for a while." The girl said. "I didn't realize..." Sunset said. "I've been trying to get your attention this whole time." The girl said. Sunset blushed in embarrassment. "Ain't she a quiet one?" Applejack asked Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy. "Yeah. And we know some pretty shy people. Am I right?" Rainbow Dash asked. "We do? Who?" Fluttershy asked. Back to Sunset. "I'm Sunset Shimmer. President of the Yearbook Committee and editor-in-chief. Do you want to join? We could always use extra help." Sunset said. "...I'm Wallflower Blush." Wallflower said. "Nice to meet you." Sunset said. "I've been on the Yearbook Committee all year last year." Wallflower said. "Oh! Uh..." Sunset said. "We met in ninth grade English." Wallflower said. Yeah, Sunset didn't remember any of this. "And... I was... saying it was nice to meet you then. You didn't let me finish." She said. Nice save. "...Anyway, I got the list of superlatives that students can vote for." Wallflower said, holding up a paper. She handed it over. "Thanks! We still have time to edit these a bit, right?" Sunset asked. "A week." Wallflower said. "Thanks." Sunset said. The girls all huddled around Sunset. "Hey! Best Friends is still there! We'd totally win that!" Rainbow Dash said. "Why don't we take our picture at the beach tomorrow? Everyone's bound to look adorable." Rarity said. "Are you sure we'd automatically win? We don't want to jump the gun." Twilight said. Everyone just stared at her. ... "...Yeah, you're right, Nevermind." She said. "Beach day! I'll make my world-famous fun-in-the-sun cupcakes!" Pinkie yelled. She leaned into Fluttershy's ear. "The secret ingredient is edible sunscreen! It's SPF fun-hundred!" She whispered. Fluttershy thought that was disgusting. "Are ya gonna invite Gohan and Goten?" Applejack asked. "They have to come. Otherwise, we can't take the photo." Sunset said. "What makes you think they'll be here then?" Rainbow Dash asked. "I'll scare Gohan into coming... I hope he actually reads it." Sunset said. "At this point, he might not even look at it." Pinkie said. "Oh well. Let's go home. We have an exciting day at the beach tomorrow!" Sunset said. The girls all cheered as they left the classroom for the Yearbook committee. "I'll just finish up..." Wallflower said. "Ooh! Forgot to turn off the lights." Sunset said, doing just that. ...Wow. "...In the dark..." Wallflower said. ... That's sad. *** Sunset was in her bed and in her pajamas... About to go to bed. ...But she had to write something to Twilight. ~~In a nutshell, it was-~~ ~~"Get Gohan's lazy ass to go to the beach tomorrow, and tell him he's an asshole for not answering."~~ "Dear Princess Twilight, Hey! I didn't see Gohan today, and he was absent for the first day of school. Do you mind getting Gohan to come to the beach tomorrow? It's for the yearbook. Speaking of which, our friends and I revisited last year's yearbook. We won 'Best Friends!' Well, I already told you, but I wanted to remind you. After all, if you hadn't forgiven me, I'd still be the arrogant student I was when I left Equestria. You gave me the second chance I didn't deserve, and I'll never forget it. Your friend, Sunset Shimmer." She also wrote to Gohan. "Gohan, you have to answer this. If you don't show up to the beach tomorrow, I'll never make you food ever again. That goes for Goten, too." Sunset finally shut off the lights, and went to sleep... ...But something happened. Red magic could be seen coming in from all directions to CHS. Or, really, the forest behind it. What in the heck...? *** Well, beach day. What a day. Sunset wasn't there yet, but the rest of the group were there. Everyone had their swimsuit on. Twilight happened to bring Giru with her... She wanted to test this. She posed, and Giru took a picture because it was programmed into him. Then Giru flew to Twilight. "Group picture, practice run #36-A, attempt seven - success!" Twilight said. "Giru! This seems useless! Giru!" Giru said. "Meh. It's cool." Twilight said. "Uh... I prefer take selfies myself...ie." Applejack said. Let's cut to Rarity and Rainbow Dash. Rarity had five beach blankets laid out. "Which beach blanket should we use for the photograph?" She asked Rainbow Dash. "You mean the white one? Or the white one?" Rainbow Dash asked. Rarity gasped. "This is toasted oat and linen lamb's wool. Eggshell, warm frost, pale nimbus, and... Well, that one is white, I suppose." She said. "Uh... Yeah, that's the one I was talking about." Rainbow Dash said. The wind blew the white one away. Spike, who was digging a hole in the sand, took notice. "Don't worry, Rarity! I got it!" He said, running after it. Then Pinkie ran after it alongside Spike. "No, I got it! I got it!" Pinkie yelled. "Nuh-uh! I got it!" Spike said. The two tripped over each other. ... Then the blanket fell into the water. "I don't got it..." They said, defeated. ...Then the blanket rose with seaweed covering it! Pinkie gasped! "Ocean monster! OCEAN MONSTER!" She yelled. She and Spike ran away as fast as they could. ...The blanket was taken off, and it was Fluttershy. She had goggles and a snorkel. "Quincy the sea turtle says the tide's coming in. We should take the picture soon or risk having damp ankles. Oh, he's so thoughtful." She said, bringing the completely ruined blanket to Rarity. She gagged for a moment. Well, Sunset finally came. Gohan didn't come. 'I thought that would get him... Oh well.' She thought. She saw her friends having fun, taking selfies with Giru. Doing poses like blowing kisses, hands to the head and hips, peace signs, yadda yadda. "This is unproductive! Giru, Giru!" Giru said. "Memory is running low!" He added. Sunset giggled as she got closer. Giru tried to desperately fly away, this was cancer to him. But he ended up bumping into Sunset. "Oh. Twilight, you got the Selfie Sensor working on Giru?" She asked, posing. You know, hand to head and other hand to hips. Then Giru cowered and ran behind Twilight. "Giru! Giru! Giru! Danger!" He said. Everyone just stared at Sunset Shimmer funnily. "...O...Kay? I don't think we'll be able to take the 'Best Friends' picture today." She said. "...Why is that...?" Twilight asked. "Gohan and Goten aren't here." Sunset said. "Who and who?" Pinkie asked. "You know... Gohan and Goten? Saiyans? Our best friends?" Sunset asked. "Wait, our?" Rainbow Dash asked. Sunset thought it was a joke, so she chuckled for a moment. "Uh oh, what did I do?" She asked. ... "...Joke's over, girls." Sunset said. ... "...Should we take the photo without them? Or...?" She asked. ... "...Sunset Shimmer...?" Applejack asked. "Askin' to be in our 'Best Friends' picture? Heh. Now I've heard it all." She said. She looked angry. "Am... I missing the joke here?" Sunset asked. "The only joke is whatever this is you're playing on us, acting all nice like you're our friend." Rarity said. "And it's not funny!" Fluttershy said. "Because you're not nice." Rainbow Dash said. "And we AIN'T friends." Applejack said. Sunset was shocked. "Wait, what!?" She asked. "You got applesauce in your ears? I said, we ain't fr- Whoa!" Applejack said, before Sunset grabbed her arm. She could see the future! Nah, only her memories. Something was off... Sunset was missing from all the good memories, except the bad ones! It's as if someone just erased her from existence. Applejack shoved her away. "Get your hands off me!" She yelled. Sunset's feet/sandals dragged across the ground for a moment. 'They're serious...' She thought. "This has to be a bad dream. Wake up, Sunset. Wake up!" She said, trying to wake up from nothing...! Then Pinkie pinched her elbow. "Ow!" "Nope! You're awake!" Pinkie said. She decided to poke herself. "Ow!" She said, giggling. "Me too!" ... "What about you?" Sunset asked Rainbow Dash. She grabbed her arm now. She saw the memories of the Friendship Games... And she was gone there, too. Even in the race where Rainbow Dash saved her. Back to reality. "No! Rainbow Dash, you saved me in that race!" She said. "What race?" Rainbow Dash asked. "I can see your memories, and I'm not in them!" Sunset said. "And exactly how is it you can see our memories, if you don't mind me askin'?" Applejack asked. "With this!" Sunset said, showing off her pendant. "Oh, pfft! It's obviously a cheap knockoff of ours." Rarity said. "We got them together. You were there, remember?" Sunset asked. "Why is she still talking to us?" Fluttershy asked. "Maybe we should make her leave." Applejack said. "Oh, yeah. I got dibs on this." Rainbow Dash said, cracking her fingers. "Wait, you're fighting me?" Sunset asked. "I wanna try!" Pinkie said. "Why!?" Sunset asked. "Payback. Why else?" Applejack asked. 'This is bad.' She thought. Instinctively, she pulled out her magical book with Gohan. "Give me a moment, please..." She said. "Heh. I don't mind." Rainbow Dash said. She quickly scribbled this down... "Gohan, this is an emergency. Our friends forgot about us and Goten, and now they want revenge on me! I have a feeling they might kill me... But please, I really need you right now! Please!" She closed the book. "Ya done writing your final will and testament?" Pinkie asked. "Not exactly..." Sunset said, putting the book back in her bag. 'I can never seem to win one battle. And now they might kill me.' She thought. "Now, I really do not want to fight you right now." She said. "Too bad." Rainbow Dash said. "Please, this isn't right! Fighting isn't always the ans-" "GOTCHA!" Rainbow Dash screamed, punching Sunset right in the face, full force! Sunset was sent flying, and her bag fell away from her. She rolled on the ground a few times. "Ow..." She mumbled. "Hah! How was that?" Rainbow Dash asked. Sunset got pissed. 'I can't win... But I'm not going down without a fight...' She thought. She slowly stood herself up, taking a deep breath. Some blood ran down from her forehead and over her right eye. Rainbow Dash ponied up. "Had enough?" She asked. Sunset made her white aura flare. "Hyah!" She yelled, ponying up herself. Then her aura turned into a crimson red. Everyone looked shocked. Yes, even those bystanders. A fight was happening... "Not even close." Sunset said grimly. She and Rainbow Dash charged at each other, yelling. They both threw a punch, and created a shockwave when they collided! Some sand flew. This was the beginning of an intense battle... Author's Note Posted in a day? Get outta here! Forgotten Friendship Pt. 2As previously stated... Rainbow Dash and Sunset just clashed with fists. Rainbow Dash was fairly surprised... But kept on the offensive. Now she was throwing a barrage of punches. Since she was much faster than Sunset, Sunset had no choice but to block with her arms. But she had to keep moving them since Rainbow Dash was at least ten times faster. 'Oh what the heck...!?' She thought. With each punch, Sunset's defenses crumbled bit by bit. If she kept blocking, eventually, it would just break. So she improvised... In a few moments, she bent over quickly. Rainbow Dash just missed a punch, and that threw her off balance. "Whoa!" She said. "There!" Sunset yelled. Sunset came right back up with a blazing uppercut! By that, I mean her fist was covered in yellow aura that looked firey. She got Rainbow Dash right in the stomach! She also jumped up as she did it, so once she stopped moving upwards, Rainbow Dash finally started flying away. Soon, Rainbow Dash curled into a ball and flipped numerous times. She landed a good two meters in front of her friends. "What the heck?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Dang, that was fierce..." Sunset said, shaking her wrist. 'My arms actually hurt...' She thought. "How'd you do that?" Rainbow Dash asked. "First she ponies up like us, and she has a lot of power!" Pinkie said. "Then let's join." Applejack said, ponying up herself. She jumped to Rainbow Dash's side. "Okey dokey lokey!" Pinkie said, doing the same thing. She ponied up, and then jumped to Rainbow Dash's other side. "Wha- That's not fair!" Sunset yelled. "Since when do you play fair?" Pinkie asked. "Since we became friends!" Sunset said. "Yeah. Never." Rainbow Dash said. Sunset groaned. "Why can't you remember!? What about Hirudegarn and Tapion?" She asked. "Who?" The three asked. Sunset just stood there with a confused expression. "Uh... W-Well, what about Broly?" She asked. "Broccoli? I hate vegetables!" Pinkie said, crossing her arms. ... "...Remember Rilldo and planet M-2? The place Giru came from...?" Sunset asked. "No, Giru came from- Wait... Uh..." Twilight said. "Where did you come from again...?" She asked Giru. "Giru! Data lost! Giru!" Giru said. "...Huh." Twilight said. "...We're just gonna start now." Applejack said. "Dang it..." Sunset said, defeated. Applejack and Pinkie darted at Sunset. "Uh oh." Sunset said, jumping up and back into the air. The two threw punches, but missed. They looked up in confusion. 'No time to be sad...! Can I even run away!?' Sunset thought. "How in the hay did she learn that too?" Applejack asked. 'Well, I could just play keep away until Go- Oh. Right.' Sunset thought. Rainbow Dash came darting at her with incomprehensible speed. She punched Sunset right in the cheek! Now, she was sent diagonally downwards... But she was sent really far. Sunset managed to recover beforehand, and stopped herself before landing. She stopped two inches above the ground. Some people gasped. "Please stop!" Sunset said. Rainbow Dash came down at her with a wound up fist. 'Well, might as well...' Sunset thought. Rainbow Dash threw her heavy punch! ...But it phased through Sunset...? And smashed into the ground! Sand flew everywhere. Then her afterimage vanished. "What the!?" Rainbow Dash asked, standing up normally. "Please stop!" Sunset said, her afterimage appearing behind Rainbow Dash. Pinkie threw a punch right through her, too. Then another afterimage appeared behind her. "I really don't want to hurt you!" That afterimage said. Rainbow Dash tried punching that one too. Now everyone in the beach was watching. The bystanders just looked in awe. At this point, with the afterimages, they just thought it was a show or an act, not real. Then the real Sunset appeared. "I'm not trying t-" As soon as that happened, Applejack punched her right in the cheek. CRACK! Sunset flew a few feet before landing. Blood came out from her mouth. She got on one knee... "Heh. She's a tough one." Applejack said. Sunset looked up at the three. "...Please stop..." She said. She wiped her mouth to get rid of the blood. "...Nah." Pinkie said. "That's not really nice..." Sunset said. "Karma." Rainbow Dash said. "I already got a mouthful of that a while ago." Sunset said, standing up. "...And I think my skull is fractured." She said. "I doubt the first one." Applejack said. 'I can't heal myself, and that sucks.' Sunset thought. Wow, everyone on the beach is just staring at this. Would you look at that? And they're not even doing anything! 'I may as well run... Hopefully I can get away from Rainbow Dash...' She thought. 'Okay, try #2!' She thought. Aimed her fingers at her face... "Solar..." She said. "Cover your eyes!" Pinkie said. She smashed two cupcakes into her face. They had sprinkles. "FLARE!" Sunset yelled, unleashing a blinding light. She instantly flew up and backwards, keeping the light there for two seconds. Then she stopped, flying backwards. "Okay! Now I can- Crapbaskets." She said. Rainbow Dash was flying in at her. Sunset crossed her arms in front of her to block the incoming punch. She tried retaliating with a punch herself, but Rainbow Dash punched her in the face before her attack connected. Sunset was sent flying for a moment. She kept the momentum, and Rainbow Dash flew after her. "How'd she... Whatever." Sunset said. Suddenly, she split into two, with one falling down and the other still flying away. The falling one had her hands cupped together. "Pinkie." Applejack said. "Say no more!" Pinkie said, still having frosting and sprinkles on her face. She can see now. She jumped up. Rainbow Dash threw a punch at the flying Sunset. That was an afterimage. "Sorry about this! Kamehameha!" Sunset yelled, firing a blue blast at Rainbow Dash. The bystanders were just like- "Ooh! Aah!" The lifeguard didn't even care about it, she thought it was a neat show. Rainbow Dash was directly hit, and was engulfed in smoke. THEN people started screaming. They all started taking this seriously JUST now. "TERRORISTS!" A girl screamed. "RUN!" A boy screamed. The bystanders all started running away from the beach... It's funny how they just started deciding to care. ~~"Terrorists!~~ ~~Wait, I can't sense them! Probably because I don't have that ability!~~ ~~Androids! Androiderists! Terroroids!~~ ~~Guys! We have a bad case of terroroids!"~~ 'Great, now we're scaring everyone away! Now, I have to-' Pinkie came spinning horizontally at Sunset in a parabola direction. Or a curve. 'Come on...!' Sunset thought. She crossed her arms again, and Pinkie punched her arms. Sunset was pushed diagonally downwards. 'Well, that worked.' She thought. Then there was a pink glow in front of her. "What is th-" BOOM! Sunset was pushed away even more! And now she's not even above the beach, she's above the rocks beside the beach. "Exploding sprinkles!" Pinkie yelled with a giant smile. She pulled another sprinkle off her face and hurled it at Sunset. Sunset fired a red blast at the sprinkle, and it exploded. By now, everyone got in their cars or just got off the beach. Even the lifeguard, jeez. It's like a state of emergency. Applejack was coming from the side, so she dodged an incoming punch. Sunset quickly flew back to the beach, and was above the rest of the Humane 7. "This is stupid!" She said to herself. Now she saw all three of them coming at her again. 'Where the hell is Gohan!? I am going to die!' Sunset thought. *** Gohan's still being a depressed little shit. Laying in bed... '...I feel like I'm forgetting something... Or somebody.' He thought. Then Twilight came into the room. "Gohan...?" She asked. ... "...What are you doing here...?" Gohan asked. "...I have a message from Sunset..." Twilight said. "Sunset?" Gohan asked. 'Crapbaskets.' He thought. He jerked awake and sat up. "...Huh. Anyway, she wants you to come to the beach...?" Twilight asked. Gohan grabbed his book from under his bed. "Crap, crap, crap, crap!" He said, ignoring Twilight. There are a lot of messages... "Oh no... I haven't talked to her in weeks! And yesterday was the first day of school!" Gohan said. But the latest one really got him scared. "An emergency...!? Double crapbaskets!" He said. "Wait, what?" Twilight asked. Gohan was gone. He popped away. ... "Did... Did I... Did I just get him up?" Twilight asked. ... "Eh." Twilight started trotting away. *** Sunset was now on the ground, blocking as much as she could. Rainbow Dash, Applejack, and Pinkie Pie were ALL rushing her with fists and kicks. 'WHY!?' She thought. It didn't last long, then Pinkie tripped her with a lower roundhouse kick. Then Rainbow Dash punched her right in the face. And finally, Applejack punched her in the stomach at the same time. Sunset was sent flying for a bit before rolling all over the sand. It's a coincidental thing the whole beach was gone except for our seven girls. ... "...That's pretty brutal..." Fluttershy said, actually feeling bad for Sunset. "I find it hard to watch, but she deserves it for all she's done..." Rarity said. "I don't know..." Fluttershy and Twilight said. Sunset was down, really. "D...Darn it..." She muttered. Rainbow Dash walked up to her. She aimed her palm at Sunset, a yellow blast forming. Sunset barely managed to open her eyes. Then... "You leave my girl alone!" Then Gohan darted in, ramming his elbow into Rainbow Dash's stomach. Les gasps! Rainbow Dash coughed. Sand flew everywhere. Rainbow Dash was sent all the way back to her friends, dragging her feet across the ground. She hunched over, grabbing her stomach. "Ow...!" She said. "I'm about to tear you a new- Wait..." Gohan said, serious at first, but now confused. "I completely forgot who I was dealing with..." He said. Then he was actually looking at his friends. He covered his eyes with his hands. "I also forgot that you were at the beach..." He added. Author's Note I know it was a one-sided and relatively random battle, but it was 3 vs 1 and... I tried. Sorry, I suck. Forgotten Friendship Pt. 3Back to where we were before... Gohan was covering his eyes with his hands. "Er... W-Why are you covering your eyes?" Rarity asked. "Huh? Because you guys are in... Well, revealing outfits..." He said. "But we're in swimsuits." Applejack said. "Yeah." Gohan said. ... "...And?" He asked. "It's difficult to take you seriously when you refuse to look at us." Rarity said. "But I can't look." Gohan said. ~~"I'm part of the Super Virgin Squad."~~ "Just look at us already!" Everyone yelled. Gohan caved in and removed his hands. "Are you happy?" He asked. "Yeah." Rarity said. "Okay, I might not seem angry, but I am actually ready to explode." Gohan said. Rainbow Dash stood up again... "You got a cheap shot in, no fair!" She said. "What? You just went three on one against her, how is that fair?" Gohan asked. "How do you know?" Pinkie asked. "You three ponied up, it's clear." Gohan said. "Whatever." Rainbow Dash said. "Why did you do that to her?" Gohan asked. "She was a real bother, coming up with weird fantasies about us being friends. She even mentioned someone named Gohan?" Rarity said. "Uh... That's me?" Gohan asked. "Wait, you're Gohan?" Applejack asked. "You don't remember me?" Gohan asked. "We never knew you to begin with." Pinkie said. Gohan sighed. 'I guess this affects me too...' He thought. "I taught you how to fly and use ki, how do you not remember me?" He asked. "Like Pinkie said, we never knew you. We learned our stuff by... Er..." Applejack said, putting a hand to her chin. "Who did we get this by again?" Rainbow Dash asked. Everyone shrugged and went: "I dunno." Uh... Some red stuff came out from Sunset's head... It flew away, and nobody happened to notice. It wasn't blood... "Uh... We don't remember who taught us how to do awesome things?" Pinkie asked. "It was me!" Gohan said. "Yeah, right!" Rainbow Dash said. "I'm the one who taught you moves like the Kamehameha!" Gohan said. "Well, we do know that..." Twilight said. "...But we don't remember you teaching it to us." Applejack said. "I was going to teach you about sensing ki for our next session..." Gohan said. "Not ringing any bells... Sorry." Fluttershy said. "I even know all your names! I've only been gone for two weeks, how have you forgotten me?" Gohan asked. "Name them!" Pinkie challenged. "Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Fluttershy, and Twilight Sparkle, there." Gohan said. ... "That sounds creepy." Rarity said. "Are you a creep?" Pinkie asked. Gohan sighed. 'Looks like I'm a victim now...' He thought. Then Gohan turned to Sunset and knelt down. "Are you alright...?" He asked. ...No response. 'I can still feel her ki, so she's alive...' He thought. He looked over his shoulder. "I'm just going to take her and get out of here, if you don't mind..." He said. He stood up and walked over to her bag. He picked that up. "Wha- Are you seriously just leaving!?" Rainbow Dash asked. Gohan now walked over to Sunset's side. "Uh, yeah." He said. "Hold on, you can't just leave with that cheap shot!" Rainbow Dash said, holding a fist up. "I really don't want to fight right now. Like I said, you've made me mad, but I don't want to bring it out on y-" Rainbow Dash threw a punch, and he caught it with a hand! It was instant... She didn't finish, she threw a kick! Gohan dodged by ducking. He also let go of her fist. Rainbow Dash then threw another punch at him. Gohan blocked with his arm. "Stop it already!" He said. Rainbow Dash grinned as she jumped up high. That revealed Applejack and Pinkie charging yellow and pink blasts respectively. "Hraaagh!" They yelled, firing the twin blast. "Why!?" He asked. Instead of firing back, he instinctively grabbed Sunset bridal style and ran out of the way. With the bag around his shoulder... With each swift step, he kicked tons of sand. The twin blast blew up and also made sand fly everywhere. Gohan looked behind him to see Rainbow Dash coming down at him. She held a chop. "That is it!" He yelled. He turned to Rainbow Dash. "I'm done! Haaa!" He yelled. Gohan made his aura flare, and turned into a Super Saiyan! His aura was huge as he yelled... The aura pushed Rainbow Dash back! "Whoa!" She said, losing her footing in the air. She backflipped because of the push. But she safely landed by her friends. Gohan made sand fly everywhere, too, so everyone covered their eyes. As if the light wasn't enough. Eventually, his aura turned to normal, and then died. His yelling stopped. The sand stopped flying everywhere. The rest of the Humane 7 looked at the Super Saiyan. "I'm not fighting you. If you come at me again, I'm going to really fight back." Gohan said grimly. "Pfft. A hair change won't do anything!" Rainbow Dash said. "Why are you even helping her anyway?" Pinkie asked. "What? She's my friend." Gohan said. 'Well, girlfriend, but I don't want to be yelled at even more.' He thought. "What? She has friends?" Rainbow Dash asked. Gohan growled. "Ooh! He's getting angry!" Pinkie said like it was a completely normal sentence. Then he sighed. "I'm not fighting you, end of story." He said. He put two fingers to his head. "See you at school." He said. Then he vanished. Everyone was confused. "What the... Where'd he go?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Uh..." Everyone said. ... "...Am I the only one noticing that this entire place is deserted?" Twilight asked. ... "...I think you were." Pinkie said. "So this guy also heads to CHS?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Well, he did say he'd see us at school..." Rarity said. "Then I'll get him for that cheap shot there!" Rainbow Dash said. "Just let it go already..." Fluttershy said uncharacteristically. "What?" Rainbow Dash asked. "We didn't need to hurt Sunset Shimmer that badly... And he was just protecting his friend from being hurt again..." Fluttershy said. ... "...That's a fair point..." Rarity said. "Ugh... Fine, but if he gets another one like that again, I'll get him instantly!" Rainbow Dash said, clenching her fist. "We should probably get off the beach now..." Twilight said. *** Well, back to in front of that portal... Nobody was at school, so... Gohan laid Sunset on the top of a step... He wasn't a Super Saiyan anymore. He knelt beside her. "Okay, now Sunset... If you're listening..." He said, reaching into his trusty pouch... "You need to open your mouth, and I'm going to put a senzu bean in there. Eat it, and all the pain will go away... Okay?" He asked, holding the bean with two fingers. Well, Sunset was obviously listening, so she slightly opened her mouth. 'Oh. I guess she's listening.' Gohan thought. He put the bean in her mouth, and... Chewing, chewing... Gulp... Then Sunset slightly opened her eyes. Gohan sighed. "Thank goodness, you're okay..." He said. Once she blinked a few times, she finally noticed Gohan... She recognized him through his head. And... "Dah!" She yelped, surprised as hell. She jolted up and sat up. She looked a little scared... "Sunset? Is something wrong?" Gohan asked. "W-What are you doing here...!?" Sunset asked, now clearly scared. "Huh? You asked me to come and help you..." Gohan said. "When...?" Sunset asked. "You sent me a message through your book, remember?" Gohan asked, taking the bag and opening it. He took the book out and flipped to the certain page. "See?" He asked, showing Sunset. Sunset took the book. She skimmed through the message. "Huh...? I don't remember sending you that... But I do remember my friends forgetting about me..." She said. "Huh. Do you remember them beating you up?" Gohan asked. "Yeah..." Sunset said, closing the book. "Well, I saved you." Gohan said. "Wait, you?" Sunset asked, pointing at Gohan. "Uh... Yes." Gohan said. "I'm sorry, who are you?" Sunset asked. Then it hit Gohan... 'Sunset forgot about me, too...' He thought. "Crapbaskets." He said. Author's Note Oh no! Sunset forgot Gohan! Shit! How will they prevail like this!? Why am I still not done with those damn Season 3 edits!? It's at over 18k words... And I haven't gotten to the last story of that one yet. Kill me. Forgotten Friendship Pt. 4"Crapbaskets." Gohan said. "What?" Sunset asked. "Listen... As if my day hasn't gotten any worse... This is kinda hard to believe, but... You're also affected by memory loss..." He said. "What? How do you know?" Sunset asked. "We were friends." Gohan said. "What?" Sunset asked. "I said, we were friends." Gohan said. ... "...I don't believe you. You beat the living heck out of me at the Fall Formal." Sunset said. "I did, but we became friends. I forgave you for trying to kill me. You're going to read my mind, but you can't read my mind unless I'm unconscious, bu- What did I just say?" Gohan asked. Sunset had grabbed his arm... ... "Wait, why can't I...?" She asked. "It's like I said, you can't read my mind unless I'm unconscious." Gohan said. "Wait... How did you know I could read minds?" Sunset asked, taking her hand back. "Because we knew each other, Sunset. I'm your friend." Gohan said. 'I really don't want her to think I'm a creep by telling her I'm her boyfriend...' He thought. Sunset was just confused. "Wait, if I add more power into it..." She said, trying once more to read his mind. "Your forehead will explode, don't." Gohan said, moving back. "How do you know that?" Sunset asked. "Camp Everfree, you tried it." Gohan said. "Hmm... I don't see how you could know any of this stuff..." Sunset said. "Unless your mind is also being messed with. Our friends don't even remember me existing..." Gohan said. "Well... I still remember you for defeating me..." Sunset said. Gohan snapped his fingers. "Yeah, that's it!" He said. "What's it?" Sunset asked. "You remember me a little, but our friends don't in the slightest." Gohan said. "Huh..." Sunset said. "We don't really have a clue as to what to do here... But we might as well make the best of it." Gohan said. "I'm Gohan, if you didn't remember that." He said. "I didn't... But you're not going to kill me, right?" Sunset asked. "No. Look, we were very close friends, Sunset." Gohan said. "Prove it." Sunset said. "I just did." Gohan said. "I need more proof." Sunset said. "You represent magic alongside Twilight." Gohan said. "Not enough." Sunset said. "You love making Asian food." Gohan said. "More." Sunset said. "You feel utterly horrible for deceiving your current friends and splitting them apart a few years ago." Gohan said. "Everyone knows that." Sunset said. "You like to be a big spoon in relationships." Gohan said. "Wait, how did you...?" Sunset asked, blushing. 'Ugh... I went too far.' Gohan thought. "Only friends know each others' secrets, Sunset." He said. "Well... Y-You... Uh..." Sunset said. There was no other explanation for how he knew all this shit... Well, except that last one. He had to be something more. She did have her doubts about the last one... ...But decided not to press further. "I... I guess we were friends..." She said. "Phew, thank goodness." Gohan said. 'I didn't want to be alone here...' He thought. "I guess misery loves company, considering they forgot you, too." He said. "Huh. That's strange... There's no way I can't believe you after all that." Sunset said. "Well, I'm glad you believe me." Gohan said. '...But I wish Goten was here... We'd be like Sherlock Holmes and John Watson!' He thought excitedly. ...But then he looked sad. "Are you okay?" Sunset asked. Then he snapped back to reality. "Sorry, I was just... Thinking." He said. "You looked a bit sad..." Sunset said. "I-It's nothing, I promise." Gohan lied. "Anyway... Do you have any idea as to what we should do...?" Sunset asked. "To figure out what's happening? I guess we could go to Twilight. I mean, Princess Twilight." Gohan said. "Yeah... That's a great idea! Wait, does she even remember me?" Sunset asked. "She's the one who told me to come here for you, so..." Gohan said. "Oh, good. Well, we just need to be sure... Can you give me my bag?" Sunset asked. Gohan did just that, handing it over to her. Sunset pulled out the trusty book to Twilight! A pen, and... She opened the book, flipped right to a new page. "Dear Princess Twilight..." She said aloud as she wrote. "This is gonna sound crazy, but... Are we friends? Am I nice?" She said and wrote. "Well, I could answer yes to both of them for you." Gohan said. "Thanks..." Sunset said. ... Waiting, waiting... ... Is she gonna answer anytime soon? Wait, yes, the book started writing itself. "Of course we're friends!" Twilight wrote. Sunset sighed in relief. "What'd she say?" Gohan asked. "She remembers." Sunset said. "Great, now let's ask her if she can help us." Gohan said. Then Twilight wrote again. "Are you okay? What's going on?" She asked. "Kinda hard to explain... Might be easier in person. Well, not 'person,' so to speak." Sunset wrote. "So...?" Gohan asked. "Well, I guess we should head to Equestria. Twilight's going to help." Sunset said. *** "What do you mean he just got out of bed like that?" Goku asked. He was with Twilight in the castle... They were in front of the portal. "He just got right out of bed. I just mentioned Sunset Shimmer, and just like that, he just left." Twilight said. "I probably should've thought of that... Maybe I shouldn't use baits that only attract me. Like food." Goku said. *** Let's recap all the things Goku tried to get Gohan out of bed. First attempt... Outside the door. "Gohan! I have chahan!" Goku yelled. It's fried rice. ... "I also have pork dumplings!" Goku said. ... "Ramen?" Goku asked. ... "...It's soy!" Goku said. ... He didn't have any of this shit, by the way. *** Second attempt... Goku burst into the house, acting as if something was happening. "Gohan! Hurry! There's a monster destroying the city!" He yelled. "Then why don't you handle it?" Gohan asked. "I tried, and I can't do it alone!" Goku said. "Then how come you aren't injured in any shape or form? And I can't sense the monster?" Gohan asked. ... Goku tried coming up with a reason, but... "Uh... It... Ah, dang it!" He yelled, walking out the door. He closed it. *** Third attempt... Outside... "Gohan! Let's go fishing! I found a pond nearly a thousand miles away with Paozu tuna! Let's have a competition!" Goku said. ... "I don't wanna go." Gohan said from the inside, a bit muffled. "Come on!" Goku said. ... "...Please? I don't want to go alone." Goku said. ... That didn't work. *** Attempt number ???. Goku got desperate. Outside... Goku tried doing his Chi Chi impression. But it ended up sounding like a high pitched Goku. "Gohan! This is your mother! Come outside this instant, and study in front of me!" 'Chi Chi' said. "Dad, I know it's you." Gohan said from the inside, still muffled. "I am your mother! You will be grounded if you don't come outside this instant!" 'Chi Chi' said. "That doesn't even sound like her!" Gohan said. "I'm trying my best to be a father, Gohan!" Goku said, dropping the act. "I knew it!" Gohan said. "Uh... Ooh! Look! The... Uh... Grand Super Mega Ultra Human Shenron is here! He's holding a sign, saying if you come outside, he'll bring your mother here OR a million dollars!" Goku said desperately. "That doesn't make any sense, there's only bits here." Gohan said. "Are you saying you don't want your mother!?" Goku asked. "No!" Gohan said. Goku tried putting words in his mouth to get him to come outside... "You'd rather take a million dollars than your mother here!? She might be worth less than a million dollars to you, but to me she's worthless!" Goku said. ... "Okay, I realize how wrong my last sentence was, but we both know that I'm not good at this." Goku said. "You lost all credibility." Gohan said. *** Anyway... "I think you should seize the moment and really talk to him about this. Just in case he starts this again..." Twilight said. "Don't worry, I got this. I know exactly what to tell him..." Goku said. 'Machine wash cold, then tumble dry! Oh, wait, that was what Chi Chi told me with my laundry. And I messed that up.' He thought. Then the portal started glowing purple... "There he is... Well, and she." Goku said. Then the two came in... Sunset was standing on her backhooves. "Twilight! And..." She said, looking at Goku. "Ohh! So that's what she looks like as a pony!" Goku said. "Sunset?" Twilight asked. Then Sunset realized that she was standing. She tried moving, but then fell down to her forehooves. Twilight caught her by the forehooves. "Whoops... I was trying to hug you." Sunset said. So then they hugged. 'I wish I had a hug...' Gohan thought. "Hey, Gohan!" Goku said. "Er... Y-Yeah, Dad?" Gohan asked. "I need to talk to you in private, so..." Goku said, appearing beside Gohan. He put a hand on his shoulder and they popped away. "Well, they're gone." Twilight said. Then the hug broke. "What?" Sunset asked, turning around. "I could've sworn I saw Gohan behind me, and the larger person in front of me..." She said. "Wait, he isn't a pony?" She added. "Wait, you don't know Goku? I thought you told me you met him." Twilight said. "What?" Sunset asked, genuinely confused. "We'll deal with it later... So, tell me what's been happening." Twilight said. *** Well, let's cut to the father-son talk... At home. "Gohan, what are you going to do after you fix whatever you're doing?" Goku asked. "Uh... Go to school...?" Gohan asked. "...And?" Goku asked. "I don't understand." Gohan said. "Are you going to stop moping about Goten is my real question." Goku said. "I'm surprised you know what that means." Gohan said. "That's beside the point. Answer." Goku said. ... "...No comment." Gohan said. "Wrong answer." Goku said. ... "...What do you want me to say!?" Gohan asked defensively. Goku sighed, putting a finger to his forehead. "This is going to take a lot longer than I thought..." He said. *** Now Sunset and Twilight were walking down the hall of the castle. "This is bad... It's way beyond anything I've ever heard of! Frieza was one thing, but memory loss is another." Twilight said. "Who?" Sunset asked. ... "...Did you lose part of your memory too?" Twilight asked. "Well, that's what Gohan says." Sunset said. "Ah... Anyway... I have an idea, one of the two ponies with the most wisdom! Or, three." Twilight said. Then Goku and Gohan finally came back. "We're back." Goku said. "So... How was it?" Twilight asked. "I think he gets it now." Goku said. Gohan chuckled nervously. "Yeah..." He said. The message was essentially: ~~"Grow the fuck up, you little bitch! We're all affected by Goten, stupid! You're the only one still bitching about him, when everyone else is capable of living normally!"~~ Okay, that's how Vegeta would've put it, but seriously, the message was: "Grow up. You're not alone in all this, so stop acting like you're the only one being hurt. You're not, Gohan. Look at me and your friends, we all miss him and we all wish we could've done something about it." That's the gist of it. Anyway... "We're heading to Princess Celestia..." Twilight said. "Wait, what!?" Sunset asked. You see, she lost her memory of pretty much anything to do with Gohan... Which means the Frieza battle and crap. "Okay, I'm heading home. Good luck, you three." Goku said. "Okay..." Gohan said. Then Goku popped away. ... "So, I guess I'm taking us there?" Gohan asked. "Don't we have any... Better options...?" Sunset asked. "What? Why?" Gohan and Twilight asked. "I can literally teleport us there in an instant." Gohan said. "No, no, that's not what I meant!" Sunset said. "Then what do you mean?" Twilight asked. "You know... For words of wisdom...?" Sunset asked. "What? Why not Princess Celestia? I mean, we have Star Swirl the Bearded, but..." Twilight said. "I haven't apologized to her." Sunset said. "You already made up with her." Gohan said. "What? I don't remember ever doing that..." Sunset said. "Ohh..." Both Gohan and Twilight said. "You lost your memory of that, too..." Twilight said. "You could act as if you did make up with her, if you're still unsure." Gohan said. "I suppose...?" Sunset asked. "I mean... I think we should just look at her library." Twilight said. "Well, maybe Princess Celestia has some extra advice or something, so we should go to her first." Gohan said. *** Well, throne room. The Royal Sisters were just chilling... They half closed their eyes because they're tired. They usually just sit there all day, today is no different. When you do nothing, you're tired. It's not because they smoke weed. There are guards in front of them, but they just stand there, too. ... Well this is boring. Why am I even writing about thi- Oh, right, the plot. Then Twilight, Sunset and Gohan all appeared out from nowhere in front of the princesses. Well, our only two guards were shocked and quick to take action because there is absolutely nothing to do 90% of the time. They aimed their spears at the three. "Hold it." Celestia said. The guards backed away once they realized who was there. Being at the presence of her old teacher, and losing her memory... Yeah, Sunset doesn't feel right about this. "Twilight Sparkle, Son Gohan, Sunset Shimmer..." Celestia said. "What brings you three here so abruptly...?" Luna asked. "Why is Sunset Shimmer acting nervous?" Celestia asked. "Okay, so..." Twilight said. "To sum it up shortly..." Gohan said. "In the mirror world, some sort of magic or something happened to erase parts of everyone's memory of the good Sunset, and everyone can't even remember my name." He said. "Interesting..." Celestia said. "To answer the next question, Sunset Shimmer forgot about making up with you." Twilight said. "Oh. Sunset Shimmer, don't hesitate to be casual with us, we're all friends." Celestia said. Sunset sighed. "That's a relief..." She said. Celestia and Luna stepped down from their thrones. They went down to the three. "I am not familiar of the exact spell that could've altered you and your friends' memories, but it sounds like Equestrian magic is at work in your world." Celestia said. "Numerous times, but pales in comparison to other things." Gohan said. "I think that figment of my memory is gone, can you explain?" Sunset asked. "Where do I start? Hirudegarn, Broly, Planet M-2, and Imecka, we had tons of adventures!" Gohan said. "Not ringing any bells." Sunset said. "Well, that's a bust." Gohan said. "The toilings of this nefarious enchantment could portend unimaginable catastrophe if left unchecked." Luna said. Sunset couldn't help but snicker... Luna had to look at her quizzically. ... "...Sorry, I'm just used to you saying: 'No student parking in the faculty lot.'" Sunset said, giggling a bit. "This 'faculty lot' you speak of sounds like it is a place of great power..." Luna said. ... Gohan couldn't help but snicker now. Now Luna looked at him quizzically. "I'm so sorry, but- Heheh... It's just a parking space, where you park a vehicle..." Gohan said. "Oh." Luna said. "The answers you seek are in the Canterlot Library." Celestia said. "Do we have to read every book in there?" Gohan asked excitedly. "If you'd like..." Luna said. Gohan and Twilight both squealed. Sunset was confused about Gohan. *** Our five went to the library. Stepping into the library... Sunset wasn't so confident in the search. "There's over a million books in here..." Sunset said. "I wish! But, don't worry!" Twilight said, hugging Sunset with one hoof. "You're looking at somepony who's looking at this place like the back of her hoof!" She said excitedly. Now, looking at Gohan... He was just having a nerdgasm, don't mind him... "So many books...!" He muttered, drooling at the sight of the massive library. "Is... he going to be okay?" Sunset asked. "He's just excited, don't worry." Twilight said. "For what?" Sunset asked. "Reading! One of my favorite hobbies! Maybe because I was forced to do it when I was much smaller, but now I love it!" Gohan said. "Really? Aren't superheroes usually illiterate?" Sunset asked. "Well, that's my dad." Gohan said. "I don't get it." Sunset said. "Wait, where are you going, Princess Celestia?" Twilight asked. Both she and Luna were trotting somewhere... "To the restricted section." Celestia said. "There's a... A..." Twilight barely spoke. She kept taking huge breaths. Even Gohan was taken aback. But... "Oh come on! I didn't get to read at least a quarter of the books in the unrestricted section!" He complained. "Why are you complaining about that many books!?" Sunset asked. "You see, if you remembered me, you'd understand." Gohan said. "I mean, you two were pretty close." Twilight said. "How close, exactly...?" Sunset asked. Gohan blushed and instantly looked away from Sunset. '...Weird.' Sunset thought. Gohan rushed to the princesses to avoid the awkwardness. Then our other two followed. Well, bookshelves... The two princesses used their magic to pull on two books pertaining to their cutie marks... And just like that it went to the side to reveal stairs downwards. Twilight was shocked... So shocked, that her jaw was wide open. Sunset shut it for her. Our group went down the stairs, and... And... Holy shit, it's like a second library! With golden swords and alchemy... And chests... And- This looks more like an armory. "Omigoshomigoshomigoshomigosh!" Twilight sputtered. "So many books...!" Gohan said excitedly, having yet another nerdgasm. He rushed to read a book on artifacts. "They're all unread! Ancient historical ARTIFACTS!" He yelled. Now he was just speaking gibberish, and reading a few books at the same time. Twilight also rushed to read some books. "Oh, this is where it gets GOOD!" She squealed. Sunset had a joke in mind... "Are you sure you're up for helping me with all this stuff?" She asked smugly. Apparently the super nerds didn't see her smug face and acted purely on instinct. They both rushed to hug her. "Don't take this away from me!" They pleaded at the same time. Sunset couldn't help but chuckle. Now the nerds flew all over the place, reading covers and such. "Look at this! There's another volume of Star Swirl the Bearded!?" Twilight asked. "There's two old freaking books on ki! I didn't even need to explain it to you!" Gohan said excitedly. Now the two were just speaking a bunch more gibberish. Sunset and Celestia both looked to each other and laughed at the absolute babble they listened to. Author's Note I managed to get this out, so... Hopefully you liked it...? Forgotten Friendship Pt. 5After a long time of searching... Jesus Christ, this is taking forever. Sunset yawned. She closed a giant ass book. "Ugh... Did you know Chancellor Puddinghead tried to pass a law mandating Earth ponies drink carrot juice at every meal...? I do. Know that... Now." She said, clearly unenthusiastic. She was definitely tired. Gohan was reading another book. "I think we learned that in class once, but I think Puddinghead banned sodas too." He said. He was still pretty interested in the books... "Now I know that martial arts was banned in the 3rd century..." He added excitedly. This was helping to relieve stress. "Aww... Sounds like you two read the fun books!" Twilight said, still excited. ...But she was tired too, so she yawned. Sunset sighed in relief. "Aww... I was just learning about the reasoning behind the ban." Gohan said. "Well... I found something!" Twilight said excitedly. "Oh, good." Gohan said. Then Twilight brought a chest out from nowhere. "You're familiar with the 'Seven Trials of Clover the Clever,' right?" She asked. "Obviously." Both Gohan and Sunset said. "But why?" Sunset asked. Twilight opened the chest and it had a bunch of cobwebs. But she pulled out a scroll. "Well, first of all, these date back to before the founding of Equestria. Look at this." She said. Reading it... "The 'Memory Stone...'" Sunset said. "I'd be willing to guess that's our problem here." Gohan said. "It belonged to an evil sorceress that was practically invincible! With the memory stone, she could erase any memory from anypony. Even fragments of memories." Twilight said. "Fragments like... Memories of me being nice?" Sunset asked. "And me not existing... At all?" Gohan asked. "Yep. Clover the Clever knew the sorceress had to be stopped and the memory stone destroyed, so he chased her across land and sea. But every time he got close, the sorceress would erase his memory and escape. But he kept finding her." Twilight said. "How?" Sunset asked. "These scraps of parchment. He secretly wrote everything down, and where to go next! Like a trail of bread crumbs." Twilight said. "I'm still having trouble as to why I'm not affected at all, even though I was there." Gohan said. "Maybe you're too strong for it. Magic doesn't affect you so much because of your strength." Twilight said. "It is true your magic doesn't work..." Gohan said. "What happened on the other side of this portal?" Sunset asked, moving the scroll. Then the rest was just ripped off. "Dang. It's missing." Gohan said. "Clover must've hid it to keep anypony else from finding the memory stone!" Twilight said. "That's clever..." Gohan said. Then Sunset saw that... "Clover the- Yeah, whatever." She said, no longer excited. "What if the memory stone ended up in the Other World?" Twilight asked. "Don't you mean the Mirror World?" Gohan asked. "What's the difference?" Twilight asked. "Afterlife and a new dimension." Gohan said. "Oh, right." Twilight said. "What?" Sunset asked. "This guy's been to hell just to fight a monster, he knows what he's talking about." Twilight said. "Why do you have to tell others about that...?" Gohan asked. "I'm really starting to be glad we aren't enemies." Sunset said. "Back to the point... I don't know anyone who would want revenge on you, do you?" Twilight asked. Sunset shook her head. "Your memory wasn't altered, what about you?" She asked Gohan. "I really don't know, you used to get along with everyone at CHS." Gohan said. "You have to think of someone that despises me..." Sunset said. "...I really can't." Gohan said. "...Huh." Sunset said. "We might as well try to convince our friends that their minds are being screwed with." She said. "I doubt they'd believe us from just this excerpt." Gohan said. "Why wouldn't they?" Sunset asked. "Yeah, why wouldn't they?" Twilight asked. "Is this scroll all we're going to show?" Gohan asked. "Yeah." Sunset said. ... "...You know they'll just call it fake, right?" Gohan asked. "That... I... Crapbaskets." Sunset said. "Oh, you say that too, even when your memory's screwed with." Gohan said. "Maybe I should write a note?" Twilight asked. "They'll do the same thing." Gohan said. "I wanted to keep reading, ugh!" Twilight said. "Ugh, it doesn't help that they don't remember me..." Gohan said. "I mean, I also have photos on my phone, so... Let's try...?" Sunset asked. "Meh. Try for a zeni, we'll see how it goes." Gohan said. "What's a zeni?" Sunset asked. "...This is starting to get really annoying." Gohan said. "Ugh, tell me about it." Sunset said. "Oh, this is just the icing on the cake. There's more to this monster that loves to screw with me." Gohan said. Twilight felt bad for Gohan now... *** "Well, it's a good thing we found this other beach three towns over...!" Twilight said. That's exactly where they were. They already set up again, since it had been... Three... Maybe three and a half hours? "Yes, the previous incident didn't make it a cakewalk..." Rarity said, giving herself a tan. But for some fucking reason, she's the whitest person on the planet no mater what. Anyway... "Yeah! We've been out here for a while! Time to reapply!" Pinkie said cheerfully. She rubbed a cupcake all over her arms and face... Because it had edible sunscreen. Why does that exist? Then she ran off. ... "...I've been thinking..." Twilight said. "Should we be worried about Sunset Shimmer?" She asked. "Uh, duh!" A familiar voice said out of screen. Now that she's in screen, it's Trixie, also trying to get a tan. But remains as cyan as ever. "Worried she comes here! I was there at the other beach. I think it's a shame the way she's been treating you. First pretending to be your friend, then fighting you..." Trixie said. "I'm sure the fighting was our fault..." Twilight said. "Please. She's obviously up to something. Sunset thinks the whole school exists just to serve her." Trixie said. Now that we see the rest of the screen... Snips was fanning her with a giant leaf... Then Trixie snapped her fingers. "Water, please!" She demanded. Then Snails came in with a bottle of water, pouring some into her mouth. ...Even the girls notice the irony. "You know, seeing as how the yearbook president seems to be having a little identity crisis, I believe that means the Vice President takes over. And, why..." Trixie said. "You don't even need to finish that last sentence." Rarity said. "If this is your way of asking to be made 'The Greatest and Most Powerful,' the answer is no." She said. "Pfft. Whatever. I ask of it, and that's all." Trixie said. "Ugh, I'll think about it." Rarity said. "Thank you." Trixie said. *** The portal to the Mirror World... Now Sunset is human again. "You know, I was expecting to see a pony version of you." She said. "See, again, if you remembered me, you'd know all these obvious things." Gohan said. "How many obvious things, exactly?" Sunset asked. Gohan put ten fingers up... And also his tail. "More than this." He said. "H-Hold on, since when did you have a tail!?" Sunset asked, shocked. "Please, don't make me repeat myself..." Gohan said, putting everything down. "Can you just explain the tail, then?" Sunset asked. "It just popped out of nowhere, okay? I know I had one when I was a toddler, but someone yanked it out. It just came out of nowhere again, my endangered race had these." Gohan said. "Uh... Huh." Sunset said, confused. "Look, let's just go to our friends already." Gohan said. "I can sense them in that direction... Probably another beach." He said, pointing a finger. "How do yo- Nevermind." Sunset said. "Short answer to the next question, no, it isn't magic." Gohan said. "Huh." Sunset said. "Now, let's go!" Gohan said, jumping up, flying for a moment. He flew forward until he realized Sunset was not following him. He turned around. "Sunset? Aren't you coming?" He asked. "I can't fly." Sunset said. "What? How d- Ugh..." Gohan said, flying down to the ground again. "Do you want me to teleport us or fly us... I can do both." He said. 'This is just getting worse and worse, ugh!' He thought. "Well... I guess I would enjoy the scenic route..." Sunset said. "Then flying it is..." Gohan said. He walked up to Sunset. Then he flew two centimeters off the ground. Then he made himself horizontal, so he was like a platform. He aimed his hands, or fists forward. "Get on..." He muttered, clearly a bit annoyed. Not at the flight, just the other things in general. "Er... Should I just...?" Sunset asked. "Just sit on my smaller lower back, don't you touch my tail." Gohan said. "Okay." Sunset said, doing just that. This looks a bit suggestive, but don't you think of that stuff. "Okay, here we go..." Gohan said, slowly moving upwards. 'Did she get heavier? Did she ga- Oh, no, it's me, I've gotten weaker.' He thought. "Did you say something?" Sunset asked. "Huh? No." Gohan said. "I thought you said something about me being heavier. As if I gained weight." Sunset said, looking mildly annoyed. "I'm assuming you heard my thoughts, so let me clarify... Recently, I've been feeling a bit down, so I took a break from training, and I got weaker. I thought it was you, but clearly not." Gohan said. "Oh, okay..." Sunset said. Now they were at about 90 feet in the air. Sunset felt disoriented and scared of the height... So she clung on to his shirt. "I-It's a bit scary..." She said. "Don't worry, as long as you keep riding me, you'll feel great about it in a bit." Gohan said. ... ...Sunset had a mildly disgusted face on. Gohan could not see it, but the awkward silence made him scared. 'Did I say something weird?' He thought. "Yes, yes you did." Sunset said. "What did I say...?" Gohan asked. "Riding you? Seriously?" Sunset asked, annoyed at the unintentional sexual metaphor. "What's wrong with that? I'm your ride over to the beach." Gohan said. "No, it has another meaning!" Sunset said. "I could not imagine another meaning for the verb 'ride.'" Gohan said. "Are you innocent or something?" Sunset asked. "In what sense?" Gohan asked. "I give up. Let's just go." Sunset said. 'Either he's playing a prank on me, or he's genuinely innocent.' She thought. "I'm being literal, here, I don't take words metaphorically." He said. Now Gohan started flying forwards. At a reasonable pace of 20 miles per hour... ... "...Well, Canterlot looks wonderful from above." Sunset said, trying to start a conversation. "Yes, it does." Gohan said, ending it. ... More silence. ... *** Cool, they're playing volleyball... Rainbow Dash and Rarity versus Pinkie and Fluttershy. "I'm not holding back this time!" Rainbow Dash yelled, holding the ball. She's like an anime character... "That's what I'm afraid of..." Fluttershy said, trembling. "Bring it on, Rainbow Dash!" Pinkie yelled. She pulled down on the net... "You and Rarity just bought your team a one way ticket on the express train to 'You're Going DOWN!'" She yelled, having a mean face. ~~Ginyu Force's Bizarre Adventure~~ "Ooh! Nice game face, Pinkie Pie!" Rainbow Dash said. "Thanks! I've been practicing all day!" Pinkie said, suddenly losing the face. She grabbed Giru, who trembled in fear of the picture taking. "Isn't that right, Giru!? You're in MY house now!" She yelled into his camera. "Giru! Giru!" Giru said, opening a compartment for a fucking machine gun. "Dah!" Pinkie yelped, throwing him aside. "No more pictures! Giru!" Giru said. He was clearly trying to cry, but he can't. "Now, when did ya put that in?" Applejack asked. "I never did, it was always a part of him." Twilight said. "Oh well. Game on!" Rainbow Dash yelled, hitting the ball. Fluttershy being Fluttershy, she shielded her head with her hands, so it bounced off. Pinkie saved the ball by smacking it into the net, but she saved it again by smacking it over the net this time. Rainbow Dash tried to get the ball, but since she didn't activate her super speed... She missed. And she fell on her back. Then Gohan came... For some reason, giving Sunset a piggyback ride. She got off instantly, brushing herself off. "Great news, guys! I figured it out!" She said. The rest of the Humane 7 just looked at her funny, and Rainbow Dash got up. "Someone's erased yours and my memory with Equestrian magic! You don't remember, but we're still friends!" Sunset said. "Why were you on his back...?" Twilight asked. "Ugh, it got stupid after the first twenty seconds." Gohan said. He looked a bit grumpy. "How so...?" Rarity asked. *** In the air... "Did you do this stuff with us before?" Sunset asked. "Only once, but just so you all could make it to the Battle of the Bands." Gohan said. "Really? I don't remember any of tha- Oh, crap, Canadian goose!" Sunset said. "What?" Gohan asked, looking ahead. There was a goose flying... "Look out, eh!" He said casually. "Wait, since when did geese talk-" Gohan asked, before the goose squawked as it hit Sunset. The goose was flapping and spazzing out all over Sunset's face, bothering the fuck outta her. Sunset let go of Gohan to try and get the goose off her face... "Gah! Son of a- Get off me!" She yelled. But she tried a bit too much and ended up falling off Gohan. She started screaming in fear of becoming a tomato. The goose flew off, though. She even closed her eyes. "Crapbaskets...!" Gohan said, darting down for her. 'I'll just catch her and- No, that's a little too forward, just catch her with your back.' He thought. Suddenly, Sunset stopped falling... She wrapped her arms around something warm... Something like a neck. I mean, a neck. Once she actually opened her eyes, she realized she was hugging his neck. She was slanting on his back. "Are you okay?" Gohan asked. Sunset still panicked, slightly yelling and kicking her feet. Gohan sighed as he grabbed the back of her knees. So now it's a piggyback ride. She blushed. "Don't worry, I won't let you fall." Gohan said. "Y-You promise?" Sunset asked. "Yes, Sunset, I promise." Gohan said with a reassuring smile. Of course, Sunset only saw like 30% of it. "Okay, I'm trusting you..." She said. 'It feels weird...' She thought. *** ... "That was..." Pinkie said. "Strange...?" Rainbow Dash asked. "You're telling me." Gohan said, crossing his arms. ... "...Anyway..." Sunset said, reaching into her bag. She pulled out a fucking picture of the memory stone... "This is the memory stone. Do you recognize it...?" She asked. Nobody seemed to be buying it. "I'll handle it..." Gohan said, taking the paper. "We went to the Pony World to see Princess Twilight about the issue. After a few hours of research, we concluded that someone must've used the memory stone. It's magic at play, and it messed with all of your memories. Even Sunset's, because you all happened to forget about me, and she forgot how to fly all of a sudden." Gohan explained. ... "Look..." Sunset said, pulling out her phone. She showed her photos with the keyboard covering half the screen. Friendship photos... Aww... "See? This is proof! We are friends! And- Holy..." She said, actually looking at one of the photos. She didn't show this one, but... It was a selfie of cuddling? With Gohan? "I do not remember this photo in the slightest." She said. "What photo?" Gohan asked. "Nevermind." Sunset said, changing the photo. "Eh... I'm not really buying into this." Rarity said. "Please." Trixie said. Now the attention was turned to her... With Snips and Snails carrying her shit for her. "This is the same girl who made flawless fake photos of your friend trashing the gym!" Trixie said. "Yeah, wait a minute!" Pinkie said, taking the phone. The photo was a photo of Pinkie making a stupid face. "Is THIS supposed to be me making such a ridiculous face? Ha! I'd never fake a face like THAT!" She said, making the same exact stupid damn face. "Preposterous! Fake, I say!" She said. "You're just saying that to appeal to what you want to believe in!" Gohan said. "And you just made that face a few seconds ago!" He added. "Nuh uh!" Pinkie taunted. Gohan grunted loudly in frustration. He was pretty pissed, and he ended up raising his tail in annoyance. Now everyone was looking at the tail... "Oh, not this again!" Gohan said. "Is that a tail?" Twilight asked. "Before you even ask, no, you cannot study it! It's mine!" Gohan said, hugging his tail. "Aw..." Twilight said, looking down. "Since when does a boy have a tail, exactly...?" Applejack asked. "I don't want to explain this again, you know this stuff! But some freaking jerk decided to mess with your memories just to make me mad!" Gohan yelled. Clearly pissed. "Jeez, calm down!" Rainbow Dash said. "No, why don't you believe us and try to help us solve this problem!? I've lost my bestest of friends, and you don't even remember me existing!" Gohan yelled. "Seriously, veins are poking out of your head." Sunset said. Gohan tried taking a deep breath. "My work here is done." Trixie said, walking away with her goons. "And don't forget, Rarity, you promised to put me in the yearbook!" She said. "You did what!?" Sunset asked. "I only said I would consider it!" Rarity said. "This is getting to be pointless..." Gohan muttered. "Look, do you believe us or not!?" He asked. "Nah..." Pretty much everyone said. Gohan tried finding his peace, but this whole thing just pissed him off. "UGH! I can't take this anymore!" He yelled, grabbing his hair. "I think you need to calm down." Rainbow Dash said. Gohan growled... "Would you please excuse me for a quick moment...!?" He asked, forcing a small voice. "Uh..." Everyone said. Then Gohan just teleported. ... "What is happening...?" Fluttershy asked. Then everyone could hear very faint and subtle screaming. And honestly, a giant but very faint aura from far away. Out to sea... Everyone could hear it. "What is he doing...?" Twilight asked. "I think he's screaming at the top of his lungs." Sunset said. "Giru! Power level is beyond nine thousand... Cubed!" Giru said. "How do you know that!?" Twilight asked. "Dr. Myuu programmed power level recognition software! Giru! Example! Twilight Sparkle - Power Level is 17,500!" Giru said. "Who's Dr. Myuu?" Twilight asked. "Giru? Memory missing! Giru!" Giru said. "Huh... That's weird." Twilight said. "What's that kid's level?" Pinkie asked, pointing at the screaming across the horizon. "G-Giru afraid Giru might break! Giru! Estimation between 5 trillion and 21 trillion!" Giru said. "Jeez!" Rainbow Dash said. The screaming continued... "Giru! Signs of holding back! Giru!" Giru said. "Oh, come on! That's too much!" Pinkie said. "The lungs on that boy..." Rarity said. "I'm just as surprised as the rest of you." Sunset said. ... Still going... Don't worry, Gohan's just relieving stress this way. With Goten, his dad and this fucking crock of shit, you need to give him a break. Anyway... The screaming started to die down... The aura was gone... And... Gohan popped back into reality. "I'm back..." He said, catching his breath. "Are you done having a hissy fit?" Pinkie asked. "If you mean relieving my stress, then yes, I am done." Gohan said. "What kinds of stress would an eleven year old have anyway?" Rarity asked. "Are you guys my psychologists or something!?" Gohan asked. "No." "Then do me a favor and stop!" He yelled. ... He sighed. "I'm sorry, I'm just going through a ton of stuff, and before I do something stupid, I'm going to leave." He said. "If you want to come with me, you have to decide right now." He told Sunset. "Uh... Okay... Are we going to fly or-" Well, now they're gone. ... "I'm completely confused." Twilight said. "Anyone else agree?" She asked. "Yes." Everyone said. *** Back at the front of school... "Are you okay...?" Sunset asked. Gohan walked to one of the steps, sat down and stuffed his head into his knees. 'I've had enough of this bull...deification.' He thought. Sunset felt bad... 'Is he going through something at home?' She thought. So she ended up sitting right next to him. "A-Are you okay?" She asked. Gohan just took a deep and loud breath, muffled by his knees. ... "I'm kinda worried about you..." Sunset said. ... "...I understand." Gohan said. ... "Well... It's just... It looks like you're taking a lot of... frustration." Sunset said. ... "...You mentioned that your day was getting worse... And... you look and act grumpy... Well... How stressed are you?" She asked. ... "First you're yelling at the top of your lungs..." She said, moving her hand. She put her hand on his shoulder. "And now you're..." She asked. Gohan looked to the side, at Sunset... ... "...Crying?" Gohan was trying not to let out a few sobs, but it was too much. You know, trying to contain those quick gasps. Author's Note Yeah, so... My top priority is finishing those damn Season 3 edits because they're being a pain in my ass. Expect it to be about a week before I get another one of these up. Or, if I feel like it, I'll do another one tomorrow... But I wouldn't count on it. Forgotten Friendship Pt. 6"Y-You're crying...?" Sunset asked. "D...Dang it...!" Gohan sobbed, sniffling. He tried wiping them away, but they came back... "Are... Are you okay...?" Sunset asked. "I'm fine, I'm fine..." Gohan said, a little irritated at his tears. "Stop crying already...!" He muttered. "If you really need to cry, you can cry..." Sunset said. "No, I have to stop." Gohan said, sniffling. His tears seemingly stopped... 'Why did I cry!? That's embarrassing!' He thought. "No, when you cry like that, that's when you have bottled up feelings." Sunset said. "No, that's when I show weakness." Gohan said. "Don't think of it like that... Sometimes, everyone has to cry." Sunset said. "I mean, you're just a kid." She added. "I... I don't usually...cry." Gohan muttered. "What's going on?" Sunset asked. "N-Nothing, I'm just... Uh... Emotional...?" Gohan said, clearly lying. "I don't even need to try to see through that. I don't think heroes lie like that." Sunset said. "B-But I..." Gohan mumbled. "Look, just tell me what happened! It's okay, we're friends!... Supposedly." Sunset said. "I can't tell you. I'm sorry..." Gohan said. He let out a tear, rolling down his face. ...But he quickly wiped it. Trying to hide it. 'He's being so persistent...! Is that how he is in battle or something?' Sunset thought. As stubborn as Vegeta. "Please, I want to help!" Sunset said. "I... I'm really sorry, b-but I can't..." Gohan said. Sunset held his hand, and looked at his scared and saddened face with her serious face. "You have to understand. I can't just sit here and watch you drown. You can wave all you want, I see you drowning." She said sternly. Then her hands created a small white light... It created some sort of... Connection. "You're my friend. The old Sunset might've turned a blind eye, but the new Sunset will stop at nothing to get you to talk. I don't care if you're millions of times stronger than me, or that you can fly, or whatever- I'm making you talk." She said. Gohan very subtly whimpered... "P-Please... I... I don't want to...!" He said. He felt like crying all over again. But, suddenly... Sunset saw something weird. It's like... A lock? Well, some sort of transparent lock in front of his face. It suddenly disappeared. 'What was that?' She thought. "C-Can you let go of me...?" Gohan asked. "Tell me right now. I won't see you in any different light, you're my friend." Sunset said. "You let me off the hook for trying to kill you, so... It's okay, Gohan." She said. Gohan was whimpering. He really did not want to talk about it. "P-Please... Stop...!" He whimpered. Sunset was looking at the damages, and just... "Ugh." She let go of his hands. ... "...A-Are you... Done...?" "I never realized how freaking submissive you are." Sunset asked very suddenly. Well... True dat. "B-But y-you... You're my..." Gohan tried saying. He wanted to say girlfriend, but... "You fought back with lasers and stuff when I was trying to kill you, you talked back to me when I insulted you, but now you can't even assert yourself. What, did the previous Sunset have some sort of dominance over you?" Sunset asked. Gohan wiped his face... "T-Technically, yes..." He said. "Is it because I'm a woman or something?" Sunset asked. "That's part of the reason..." Gohan said. "Then the other part is...?" Sunset asked. "...Er, you don't need to know that... Right now..." Gohan said. He was grasping at straws not to spill it. "Oh come on, this is getting stupid. It's like I'm playing detective but with only one kid that won't talk!" Sunset complained. She was kinda angry with him. "I'm sorry that y-you're upset..." Gohan said, cowering again. Sunset sighed. "It's fine, it's fine, I'm sorry I made you cry even more." She said, putting her hands to her forehead. "I'm just too confused right now..." She muttered. "I understand..." Gohan said. ... Some awkward silence... 'I have to break him somehow... But he won't fight back other than saying no. So... Wait, I could just look at my phone! There's probably some pictures of us.' Sunset thought. She pulled out her phone. "What are you doing...?" Gohan asked. "O-Oh, uh... Just checking social media..." Sunset lied. It was kinda believable... ...But this is Gohan. "Don't you lie to me now..." He said. "I'm not lying." Sunset said. "Look, I have ultra sensitive hearing. I'm a living polygraph machine. Well, kinda, I can't detect tiny sweat nor stress. While polygraphs are not infallible, in fact, they're horrific, I know you well. We're terrible liars. Our heart rates spike when we lie." Gohan said. "Ugh... Nevermind." Sunset said, putting her phone away. She was sure Gohan would slap the phone outta her hand or something... "O-Oh... Okay..." Gohan said. 'I guess I'll do it undercover... I'll have to- Wait! I could do both!' Sunset thought. ... "Hey, Gohan..." She said. "What do you say about a visit to the... Er, aquarium...?" She asked, unsure if that's what he likes. She pulled that out from the top of her head. "Marine biology? Aquatic habitats!? Heck yeah!" Gohan said excitedly. Sunset was just flabbergasted. 'That worked?' She thought. "O-Okay... Um... I know that the Canterlot Zoo is a few miles away..." Sunset said. "The aquarium is inside." She added. "Cool! But... Why?" Gohan asked. "Well, you look sad, and I made you cry a bit, so I want to cheer you up..." Sunset said. It wasn't exactly a lie... "When are we going?" Gohan asked. "Now." Sunset said. "Really? Don't you need a clothes change...?" Gohan asked. "What's wrong with what I'm wearing?" Sunset asked. "D'ah, I-I mean... I don't think what you're wearing is necessarily wrong... I'm just saying, it's a tad... bit... r-revealing...?" Gohan said, very nervous. His thoughts were: 'Please don't kick my ass, please don't kick my ass, please don't kick my ass!' "Are you calling me fat?" Sunset asked. "Wha- No! I think you have a perfect figure, I'm just saying that it's a bit revealing...!" Gohan said. 'Perfect figure? Flattering, but weird... He is right, though...' Sunset thought. "Well... I suppose a swimsuit isn't the best outfit." She said. "Should I take you to your house...?" Gohan asked. "Eh, sure. But I want to fly." Sunset said. 'First Goten, now her. Wow!' Gohan thought. It didn't really annoy him, but it's weird. "Sure... I mean, it's cool." Gohan said. 'Don't think about dad or Goten... We don't want another episode like that...' He thought. "Let's go, they're closing in a few hours, anyway." Sunset said. "Um... Ok." Gohan said. *** Ah, what a day at the fucking aquarium. Sunset was back in the original wear of the episode... Which Gohan thought was just cute. Wow. But, anyway... They were traversing a hall with tanks of certain types of fish... There weren't that many other people. "Ooh! Look! The common carp? Meh... Swordfish? Kinda cool... Oscar? Weirdly named..." Gohan muttered as he walked along. Sunset was just confused. He didn't even look at the signs, he just listed them off by looking at the fish only. But, she had to investigate... kinda. Gohan was listing off a bunch of fish names... "Hey Sunset, did you know that farmed salmon's natural color should be grey? It's not shown here... I mean, it's pink because they eat the same ingredient in krill, named-" Well, time to look through that phone. Sunset was just ignoring Gohan's ramblings... 'Pictures of the group... There are so many pictures of him with us. Who's that other kid? Looks kinda like him... Are they related?' She thought. That was Goten... 'They have that same outfit...' She thought. "-and that's why that country should convert to the metric system, they're confusing the rest of us! Phew... Anyway, what do you think?" Gohan asked. "Huh?" Sunset asked, turning her phone off. "Are you paying attention to the tens of thousands of species of fish?" Gohan asked. "Well, I'm just looking for the anglerfish." Sunset said. She did like that fish... But, little did she know... "Well, the anglerfish exhibit is that way! Right past the fake sharks in tanks and the common carps placed across from them!" Gohan said, pointing down the hall. Well, there are tanks on both sides of the place. "Oh! Uh... Sure...?" Sunset asked. She put her phone in her pocket... "Then come on!" Gohan said, holding her hand. He kinda pulled her with him as he walked kinda fast. Sunset was a little confused and surprised. It was sudden... "I hear it's very popular, they even have hats of the anglerfish's esca!" Gohan said excitedly. 'Well, he's cheered up.' Sunset thought. "My favorite fish might be the pufferfish, but the anglerfish is a close second!" Gohan said. "Great...!" Sunset said. Opening the doors to the exhibit... There were skeletons, diagrams and tanks of anglerfish... "I wonder if they have the explanation for their bioluminescence." Gohan said. He let go of her hand. "Let's go!" He said. 'Well, I could check later, that can wait.' Sunset thought. She immediately followed. What a fun time. "Ooh. They DO explain the bioluminescence!" Gohan said, looking at a tank of anglerfish. "I don't even need to see it. Certain bacteria in the water create a symbiosis with the esca." Sunset said. "You're just as smart as ever." Gohan said. "Well, I did get first honors." Sunset said. "Yeah, I know. You were really happy when you finally got an A in biology." Gohan said. "Yep. Hey, look, some baby anglerfish!" Sunset said, pointing inside the tank. "Aw! It's so... Well, I'd say cute, but they all look like they're suffering. Kinda like bulldogs." Gohan said. "Well, can't argue there." Sunset said. "Is that a simulation? I don't remember anglerfish being this popular." Gohan said, pointing to a booth. "I call dibs!" Sunset said. *** Well, what a day. It's nighttime and Sunset was riding on Gohan's back. She was wearing a blue hat with a blue esca... Gohan didn't, though. "That was fun. We should go again sometime." Sunset said. "Agreement." Gohan said. Sunset giggled... She grabbed her hat and put it on his head forcefully. "Oof." "I think it looks better on you. Kinda like I'm riding the anglerfish to battle!" Sunset said. They both laughed. "Can we take the long route? This scenery is the best." Sunset said. "Sure thing. Just tell me when you had enough." Gohan said. But... Sunset noticed something ahead. "Uh... Is that a UFO?" She asked. "A UFO?" Gohan asked. There was indeed a ship ahead... A red and white ship, with a glass dome in the enter. There was a man standing on top of it. The logo in the middle of the white was of the Galactic Patrol... The guy was complete with purple spandex. He had weird yellow bug eyes... "Aha! It's you! The one Watagash chose as his host!" He yelled. "What?" Gohan and Sunset asked. They were flying closer to get a better look... "Great Space Cannon engage!" The alien yelled. Then from his ship popped out a giant fucking cannon. Then the guy pulled out a space gun... "I shall disintegrate you before you can cause me any more trouble, Watagash!" He yelled. "...Although I kinda slacked off for a few months before coming to find you." He muttered. "What!? I can't hear you, you're very far away!" Sunset yelled. He pulled the trigger, and- Holy shit! A big blue beam fired right at Gohan! "Uh oh." Gohan said. Sunset screamed and covered her eyes. Gohan grabbed the backs of her knees and narrowly moved to the side! Holy fuck, that was close... That beam was actually devastating. It was seen by everyone below... It even had little electric sparks... But it eventually died down. "Man, that was close..." Gohan said. "What happened...?" Sunset asked, peeking again. Right after this... A giant blue explosion ensued! It was half the size of the damn planet! It didn't hurt anyone, but it released a ton of powerful winds. It was very random, so Gohan and Sunset was immensely pushed back by it... They got pushed right into that damn ship... Gohan grabbed onto that cannon before colliding with it... He got their combined weight on top of the thing... Apparently the space man now was on his knees. "I almost fell..." He muttered. Then he noticed the two. "So you survived, Watagash!" He yelled. "I won't miss this time!" He yelled, aiming his gun at Gohan. Gohan stood on that cannon with extreme balance. "My name's Gohan, what are you talking abou-" Sunset wrapped her arms around his neck with a death grip... "Oh no, he'll shoot!" She yelled, closing her eyes. She was grabbing for dear life... "Are you speaking about the Japanese 'gohan' rice I ate earlier? Are you trying to buy time, Watagash!?" The alien yelled. Sunset was comedically choking Gohan as he tried to harmlessly get her off. "L-Let go..." He said weakly. "No! Protect me!" Sunset yelled, tightening that grip. "This is where you get vaporized!" The alien yelled. He pulled the trigger, and- Gohan acted instantly, making his yellow aura flare and swatting the blue blast away! ...But the hat blew away too. It was a weak one, so it died out pretty quickly. Sunset was still holding on... "Huh? You!?" The alien asked. "What?" Gohan asked. Sunset's death grip loosened. "Did we win?" She asked, peeking again. The alien pointed at Gohan... "Son Goku's kind of mediocre son!" He yelled. "What?" Gohan asked. ... "...He does kinda look mediocre." Sunset said. Author's Note In the words of the Tourettes Guy... "AH SHIT!" Anyway... Season 3 edits are STILL NOT FUCKING DONE, DAMN IT! I'm on the last story of it, but it's so damn hard! Over 20k words, and STILL not done! Ugh... And this trashy story took way to long to write, and I apologize. I also apologize in advance for future chapters taking a long time. They will take a while. I really suck at life, so that's why. Before the next chapter, those edits will be done! ...So expect a lot more time... I am very sorry. Forgotten Friendship Pt. 7On the top of a building... The man identifies as Jaco. He had his ship parked. He and Gohan were far away from that ship, but Sunset was on her phone, leaning on said ship. She was checking the phone for some possible leads... 'Man, he and that kid are a duo... They're in the same picture all the time!' She thought. Swiping left, swiping left, swipi- Sunset lightly gasped. 'T-This photo...!' She thought. It was a picture... ...Of Gohan and Sunset kissing...!? 'WHAT THE FU-' Anyway... "You're looking for a mental parasite?" Gohan asked. "Right. It's name is Watagash." Jaco said, pulling out a tablet with a diagram of it. The same pink hydra... "It's harmless on it's own. But it's drawn to and latches onto the darkness in people's hearts." Jaco said. "It fuses, and gives it host superhuman powers." He said. "The greater the darkness within the host, the greater the power. It caused the downfall of an entire civilization..." He said. "That's terrible!" Gohan said. "It's definitely hiding on this planet..." Jaco said. "I understand. We can't let a dangerous creature like that roam free. I suppose we can alert the masses..." Gohan said. He stood up. But Jaco stopped him... He pulled him right down! "Look, you have to stay quiet! I had no choice but to fill you in on this!" He whispered. "This is supposed to be a secret investigation. Let's keep this between the two of us, okay?" Jaco asked. "Uh... Sure... But... Can you answer my question?" Gohan asked. "What is it?" Jaco asked. "How do you know my dad, Goku?" Gohan asked. "Well, that's a long story, Goten." Jaco said. "I'm Gohan...?" Gohan asked. "Wait, what? Since when did you shrink?" Jaco asked. "Wha- I never shrunk!" Gohan said. "Eh... Might explain why you're on this planet... Whatever." Jaco said. "I have to go." He added, walking back to his ship. "Uh... Okay...!" Gohan said. 'Weird...' He thought. Sunset recollected herself after seeing some more evidence... After that first picture, she saw the next moment, of Gohan blushing and looking surprised that the photo of them kissing was taken, while Sunset was giggling behind her hand. And more and more couple moments... It was strange... 'We were dating...!?' Sunset thought. "Hey space chick, get away my ship. Unless you want to get fried alive." Jaco said, jumping into his ship. "Oh! Uh... Okay..." Sunset said, backing away from the ship. The ship created a bunch of exhaust before eventually floating off the ground. The ship flew away at light speed with rockets and shiet... ... "...That was strange." Gohan said. "So... What did he tell you, exactly?" Sunset asked. "Well, there's a parasite on this planet he's looking for... So that's pretty much it." Gohan said. ... "...He knew my dad, but never told me how." He added. ... "...I think I'm just going to walk home." Sunset said. "Are you sure...?" Gohan asked. "Yes." Sunset said. "May I ask why...?" Gohan asked. "I just want to walk." Sunset said quickly, opening the door to the stairs. She sounded like she was rushing. "Oh... Okay... S-See you on Monday." Gohan said. Now he was just alone on the roof. ... '...I wish she had her memory... I miss her... But, it'll be over soon.' Gohan thought. 'I don't know if I want to talk with dad... Hopefully I can repent for acting like a jerk...' He thought. He kept reflecting on it... Let's cut to Sunset walking down those stairs. 'He lied! Well... Actually, I guess not...? He didn't really show interest in... But why didn't he tell me!?' She thought. 'That would've been nice to know! I don't know if he wants my body! Is he just putting up an act? Is he taking peeks at me? Ugh... I really hope he doesn't have any of those thoughts.' She thought. The stairs ended at the 12th floor, for some reason... So she opened the door to that floor... Then she saw an office! ...With a bunch of people standing with their hands up. There were a few people sitting in the corner, all cowering... Then she noticed the reason why... Three gunmen. One with a machine gun, one gigantic one with a gun for an arm, and one with a pistol. The machine gunman was a fat guy with Elvis Presley hair. He had a green vest on top of a white shirk and green pants. The gigantic gunman had an eyepatch, a yellow hat, body armor, some sort of giant bag for ammo, and, well, of course, the giant arm cannon. The pistol gunman had his hair in a bun, but had a pedostache, a yellow handkerchief around his neck, a white shirt and brown pants. *** 'Well, I might as well leave no-' Someone screamed. Well, obviously her, dickhead. "Sunset?" Gohan asked. More screaming... "Yeah, I need to see what the heck's happening." Gohan said, running down those stairs. *** Now the man with a pistol had Sunset in a headlock, putting the gun to her head. "Now, are you gonna give us all the money!?" The big guy yelled. "Well, yeah, but..." Some guy with a suit said. "But what!?" The big guy yelled. "Why'd you start on this floor rather than the first floor?" He asked. "What? Why did we... Enough with the dumb questions!" The fat guy yelled. "I'll blow her brains out unless you start giving us some money, bankers!" The pistol guy yelled. (Well, FYI, let's call this a small bank headquarters. They're tall as hell.) Sunset trembled with fear... "You! Money, now!" The fat guy yelled, pointing at that smartass earlier. "P-Please let me go..." Sunset muttered. "Shut up." The pistol man said. ... Gohan was looking from behind the door... 'Ah, Crapbaskets. I want to save her, but I don't want to be noticed... Aha! That's it!' He thought. "So you all want to be let go, huh!?" The fat man yelled. Everyone nodded in agreement. "Then define fratricide!" The fat man yelled. "Uh..." '...You damn bastard...' Gohan thought. Nobody noticed the quick flash of yellow light behind the opened door. Some guy tried pressing some alarm button with his knee... But it didn't work. "No bother trying to press the button for security! Nobody below this level will come to help you!" The big guy yelled. ... "Nobody knows? Then you're all dying unless you we get the money!" The pistol man yelled. ... "...The murder of one's own brother or sister." Gohan said, stepping into sight. "What?" The fat man asked. Gohan was a Super Saiyan 2... It's because of both rage and a disguise. He stared directly into their souls... "You wanted me to define fratricide." He said. "Another kid? What the hell is it with you guys and children?" The big guy asked. 'Is that Gohan...? But the hair?' Sunset thought. "I'm going to give you one chance. Let go of her, and leave this place." Gohan said. "Hah! Take a bullet instead!" The pistol man yelled, firing at Gohan. Gohan caught the bullet coming right at his head... With his index and middle finger. "The hell?" The big guy asked. "You lost the chance." Gohan said. He moved the bullet to his thumb... Or his thumbnail. He instantly flicked it with his thumb! It hit the pistol man directly in the forehead! No blood, the bullet bounced off. The man fell backwards, letting go of Sunset. He was hit so hard, but ever so lightly that he was only knocked out. "What the!?" The big guy yelled. "Don't worry, he isn't dead." Gohan said. "Eat this!" The fat man yelled, firing numerous bullets instantly. Gohan caught every one with one hand... As the fat man fired, the big guy also fired. His arm gun happened to be a machine gun, too. They both screamed. "Ahhh! What the hell!?" The fat man yelled. "I call hacks!" The big guy yelled. Everyone else was just looking in pure awe. Sunset actually moved away... She sat in the corner... Little did anyone actually know, that fucking hydra Watagash was lurking around... It was around the downed man's body... The two men eventually ran out of ammo... "Ah! Shit!" The fat man yelled. Gohan dropped the tens of bullets to the ground. "I warned you." He said. He was about to just knock them out, but then he noticed something. The downed guy had a flash of red from his body, and stood up. Very bent over, though. "Dude! You're alive?" The fat man yelled. 'Didn't I just say...?' Gohan thought. The guy just groggily walked to the middle of the two robbers... He had his eyes closed: "Hey! Dickhead, are you listening?" The big guy yelled. "Shut up!" The guy yelled, backhanding the two of them into the wall behind them. Gohan was clearly surprised. They were knocked out...? "What...?" He asked. "Back off, dicks. I don't know why, but... I have the feeling that right now... I can take on..." The now clearly possessed man said... A pink esca with a cotton ball stuck out his head. Then he actually buffed up! Like... A lot! So much so that his shirt just got ripped to shreds! He also had a ton of veins... A few furs... And his eyes were pure red. 'This is the same feeling as Juniper...' Gohan thought. "Anyone!" The now transformed robber yelled, charging right at Gohan! He threw only a bunch of quick punches! "W-What the heck happened to this guy!?" Gohan asked, catching both of his enlarged fists. The robber threw a heavy kick! Gohan dodged to the side, letting go of his fists. The robber ended up flipping... "Don't get cocky now!" Gohan yelled, punching him right in the gut! That immobilized him. He coughed... Gohan then weakly roundhouse kicked him to the other robbers, creating yet another hole in the wall... "It's finished with this!" Gohan yelled, cupping his hands together. A small blue blast appeared... "Ka...me..." He said... Then he realized that this is a building. Also, people might recognize him if he did that, so... He stopped charging. "Uh... I mean... Dodon Beam!" Gohan said, aiming his finger at the robber and firing a yellow blast. Small tiny smoke explosion! Not much damage to the building... 'I think that's what Tien called it, at least...' He thought. Then, nobody noticed Watagash fleeing from the body. Back into the ventilation for him... ... "He did it!" Some random guy yelled. Then all the people in the office started cheering and shit... 'Oh, crap.' Gohan thought. "What's your name!?" A guy asked. "Well, I'd love to tell you, but..." Gohan said, jumping over to Sunset. He grabbed her hand. "What are you...?" Sunset asked. "I'd like to say to you that I never existed to begin with." Gohan said. POP. "Ooh wa, wha? Hey! Where'd he go?" Some guy who sounded like Nappa asked. "Did he disappear? Or was he never there to begin with?" He asked. DRAMATIC MUSIC! *** Right outside of Sunset's house... "What just happened...?" Sunset asked. "Robbery. Stopped." Gohan said. He turned away, still the Super Saiyan 2. He started walking away. Sunset could see that golden tail... "Your tail also turns gold?" Sunset asked. "Yeah. Super Saiyan." Gohan said. We're all wondering if the carpet matches the drapes... "See you on Monday." He said. "Wait..." Sunset said. Gohan stopped... "I-I'm sorry for trying to leave abruptly..." Sunset said. ... "...You are forgiven." Gohan said. He started walking away again. "Wait." Sunset said. Stopped. "I need to ask you a few questions..." She said. ... "...I'll indulge if you can answer mine first." Gohan said. "Sure." Sunset said. Gohan faced her. "Do I scare you?" He asked. "What? Well... Kinda, but since you saved me... Not anymore." Sunset said. "Last one. Why'd you just leave abruptly...?" Gohan asked. He looked angry, but sounded just genuinely kind. "...I learned something kinda scary about you..." Sunset said. '...Oh no... About Goten!?' Gohan thought, turning around. He seemed unaffected, but he was having a mental breakdown on the inside. "I acted on instinct, and wanted to really look into it... But I was rude, just leaving." Sunset said. "W-What's it about?" Gohan asked. "...You'll know... Can you come inside?" Sunset asked. "Um... S-Sure..." Gohan said. "First off, just... Turn off the hair?" Sunset asked. "O-Oh, right... Yeah." Gohan said, doing just that. Author's Note Well, this took way too fucking long. I don't really know if I like how it played out but I wanted to show Watagash. Jaco will be back... Only once. Plus side, the Season 3 edits are finally done! Yes! 26k words... Damn. All right! Woo hoo! I am terrible at this! If there is any solace to the wait, I'm working on the Future Gohan story. It's gonna be way different and make a lot more sense than this, so... Yeah. Forgotten Friendship Pt. 8The living room just had a television, a table, and a blue couch. Wooden floor and walls. Looks like a cabin. Well, Gohan and Sunset sat on the blue couch. "...So... I saw some pictures..." Sunset said. "Okay." Gohan said. "Heheh... Uh, please don't call me crazy, but I found something that leads me to believe that... Um..." Sunset said. 'Oh no...' Gohan thought. "Please answer this... Um... Are we dating...?" Sunset asked. ... "Uh... Yeah..." Gohan said. Well, Gohan wasn't so nervous anymore. 'Better than the other thing...' He thought. Same with her. "Okay, why didn't you tell me before?" Sunset asked. "I-I didn't want you to think I was some sort of a creep... It would've been the most random thing to tell you." Gohan said. "Well, that makes sense." Sunset said. "You were going to find out eventually... You have your phone and the book to me." Gohan said. "Oh." Sunset said. "Well, questions about that later... Now, the real question..." Sunset asked. "Which is...?" Gohan asked. "What the heck was that hair?" Sunset asked. "Huh? Oh! My Super Saiyan 2..." Gohan said. "You have a second one?" Sunset asked. "Believe it or not, I have another one that Pinkie kept insisting was called Super Saiyan 4. Even though I never had 3." Gohan said. "Oh..." Sunset said. "I could've used 2 against you in our battle, but it wasn't necessary..." Gohan said. "I see... Also... Another question... Who is this?" Sunset asked, pulling her phone out. She showed him a picture of Gohan giving Goten a piggyback ride. Gohan recoiled a bit... 'G-Goten...' He thought. ... "Well? Who is it?" Sunset asked. "M-My brother..." Gohan said. He looked extremely distraught... "A-Are you alright?" Sunset asked. Gohan was doing short gasps, trying to keep it in... "No no no..." He said to himself, forcing his eyes shut. 'Wait...' Sunset thought. She saw the transparent lock again... "So it all makes sense now..." Sunset said. Gohan managed to calm himself. Opening his eyes... "What does...?" He asked. "Well, why you cried earlier." Sunset said, setting the phone down. '...Dang it!' Gohan thought. "What happened to your brother, huh?" Sunset asked. Gohan looked even more scared... "N-Nothing..." He clearly lied. The lock was shaking... "Gohan." Sunset said sternly. "P-Please... Stop..." Gohan said... Was he... Whimpering...? "Tell me now. Earlier, I had nothing, but now I know it's your brother. Now what happened?" Sunset asked. Gohan... Started crying. Tiny sobs... But forcefully closed eyes... And tears rolling down his face. 'Oh no...' Sunset thought. But, lucky her... The lock shattered and disappeared. "Fine...!" Gohan sobbed. "I can't take it! It's too much...!" He sobbed. 'Got him...?' Sunset thought. "I'm sorry, Goten...! I'm sorry!" He sobbed repeatedly. 'I'm guessing his name is Goten.' Sunset thought. "I could've kept fighting to keep you... Instead, my cowardice came into play, and I gave up...!" Gohan yelled at himself. "I didn't deserve that second chance...!" He yelled... "What are you talking about...?" Sunset asked. "He's dead!" Gohan sobbed. Then he started crying louder... 'Oh... I just opened a can of whupass on his feelings...' Sunset thought. 'What do I do...? Do I hug him? Or is he gonna grab... No, he's not like that... I think.' She thought. Sunset slowly but carefully wrapped her arms around Gohan... ...Then Gohan responded by instantly wrapping his around her... He put his head on top of her shoulder... Bawling his eyes out. But that made Sunset see... ~~The future!~~ His memories... Or, only what the lock let her see, at least. *** Goten's death/destruction... And the fight that continued. First, she saw Gohan being shoved aside... Then Goten being destroyed. Before... He silently said... "Thank you." Then she saw bits and pieces of Gohan uselessly fighting Beerus at his full power... Such as the fight in the forest... Then the fight taken to the skies... The dragon fist... The final struggle against the planet destruction attack... *** That's all she could see. Gohan kept crying... "He gave his own life..." Sunset said. Gohan sniffled. "W-What...?" He asked. The hug broke. "He gave his life to let you survive." Sunset said. "And it's all my fault!" Gohan said. "Do you honestly think you killed him?" Sunset asked. Gohan wiped his tears... "Obviously..." He said, looking guilty. "Some cat human did it, not you..." Sunset said. "Don't be a wise guy..." Gohan muttered. "He was willing to save you, Gohan. You had no stamina left! Until you got angry enough to stand..." Sunset said. "I could've kept him alive!" Gohan said. "Gohan, the guy had you on your knees, you clearly had nothing left until Goten gave you something to fight for." Sunset said. "No..." Gohan said. "You're obviously feeling guilty about it, but you can't control what your brother does. Gohan, did you look at Goten as he pushed you?" Sunset asked. "I-I did..." Gohan said. "What did he tell you?" Sunset asked. "I-I'm not sure... I couldn't hear him." Gohan said. "He thanked you." Sunset said, putting a hand on his shoulder. "W-What?" Gohan asked. "Remember. I saw it myself." Sunset said. "H-How did you...?" Gohan asked. "I don't really know... But I saw it." Sunset said. "...Y-You're right..." Gohan said... He looked down at his hands... "And... He looked happy...?" Gohan said. "I obviously can't explain his happiness in the moment, but it shows. He wasn't scared." Sunset said. Gohan clenched his fists... "You couldn't prevent it. No matter what you did, you would've lost to the cat. And you couldn't foresee the fact that the cat just randomly disappeared." Sunset said. "Hrrgh..." Gohan grunted, trying to keep it in... "Gohan... Cry. Let it out." Sunset said, rubbing his back. ...A tiny sob. The tears fell... Then Gohan relaxed...? He didn't force his eyes shut anymore... But it remained closed. No more clenching of the fists... ... "G-Gohan?" Sunset asked. Gohan wrapped her arms around Sunset... A few more tiny sobs into her shoulder... "Er... That's right... Cry, Gohan. Let it all out." Sunset said, rubbing his back. *** Sunset was patting Gohan's back as he was finally ending his crying. "T-Thank you..." Gohan sobbed a bit. "It's not a problem. You're my friend, it's nothing." Sunset said. Gohan wiped his eyes for the last time. "Don't think that your brother resents you in any way, you got it?" Sunset asked. "I won't. You always know what do, eh?" Gohan asked with a smile. "What do you mean?" Sunset asked. "I'm suggesting that you're smart." Gohan said. "Oh. Thanks..." Sunset said. 'I should leave now. I need to talk to dad...' Gohan thought. "...What was it like?" Sunset asked. "What was what like?" Gohan asked. "Our relationship. You know... The couple stuff." Sunset said. "Oh. It's a healthy relationship, I suppose..." Gohan said. "No, I mean, what was it about? Who started it, who's big spoon, you know... That stuff." Sunset said. "But why...?" Gohan asked. ... '...Actually, I don't really have a good reason, do I...?' Sunset thought. "I'm just curious... I mean, don't you get any funny ideas, now." She said with a slightly angry face. "I-I assure you, I won't manipulate you to kiss me or whatever." Gohan said. "It's usually you who does that to me..." "What was that?" Sunset asked. "I-It's usually you... w-who does that to me..." Gohan said. "Really?" Sunset asked. "To be frank... You're the dominant one." Gohan said. "Huh... I didn't expect to hear that." Sunset said. "Okay, sorry, but... I have to leave." Gohan said, standing up. "What? Why?" Sunset asked. "I...need to rectify an issue with others..." Gohan said. "But I wanted to know more..." Sunset said. "About what? There's not much else that you can't think of." Gohan said. "Well... I guess I just don't want to be alone now that... Yeah." Sunset said. "Our friends, right?" Gohan asked. "Yeah..." Sunset said. "I'm sorry, but... Like I said, I need to rectify an issue. It's serious, alright?" Gohan asked. "Ugh... Fine, I'm sorry." Sunset said. "Don't be... You just don't know the whole of it." Gohan said. "What? I saw your brother." Sunset said. "...I'm afraid that's not all that's happening." Gohan said. "I need to leave now." He added. Sunset sighed. "Okay, I'll see you on Monday." She said. 'I can just look through that book to find my answers, right?' She thought. "I want to get this over with as soon as possible..." Gohan muttered, putting two fingers to his head. Then he just vanished. ... "Did he teach me any of that? I mean, if my friends could do that..." Sunset asked herself. 'Does he also know the definition of that random word because of his brother? Today has been really weird...' She thought. *** Goku was just waiting outside that damn portal... Sitting beside it, actually. 'Come on...! I wanna train! Even though it's time for bed... I wanna test Gohan's power already...!' He thought. 'Well, before that... Twilight wanted me to talk to him again, but what am I supposed to say this time? Don't be a Vegeta?' He thought. 'I know he's depressed and stuff... But come on! I need a miracle... Like, he'll come here right now, and apologize, and he'll promise to be better and whatever. That'll never happen, hah!' He laughed in his mind. ...Then Gohan came through the portal. "Finally!" Goku said, jumping to his feet. "W-Were you waiting for me...?" Gohan asked. "Yeah, I'm bored training by myself. I didn't want to get in between you and your girlfriend~!" Goku sneered. "S-Stop it...!" Gohan said, blushing. "Okay, but on a serious note... We need to train, son." Goku said, putting a hand on Gohan's shoulder. "...Yeah, before that... I need to... Er..." Gohan stuttered. "...Don't tell me you wanna go back to bed..." Goku said. "No, it's not that... But it is getting late, how can you be so energetic at this time?" Gohan asked. "I've been bored all day." Goku said. "Well... Okay, but I just wanted to apologize." Gohan said. '...Color me purple.' Goku thought. "Y-You know... About my attitude... and..." Gohan said. "Hey, don't worry about that, I don't care. Are you gonna get back to training and studying and stuff?" Goku asked. Gohan slowly nodded. "...Then great! Now, let's go fishing for dinner. I haven't eaten at all!" Goku said, beginning to walk away. "W-What?" Gohan asked. Now that he thought about it... 'I haven't eaten at all...! I'm hungry too...!' He thought. Goku stopped to look over his shoulder. "Well? Are you coming? Let's catch some dinner! Twilight told me that there was something like Paozu tuna around here!" He said. "I'm gonna eat it all before you do!" He said, running away. ... 'Er... I guess I can apologize to the others later...' Gohan thought. ...But then he grinned and started running. "I'm catching more!" He said. Then the two were just off the property... ... Twilight and Spike came out into the room. "I guess Sunset helped him get over it?" Twilight asked Spike. "How should I know?" Spike asked. "I'm glad he's finally back to normal... But I wonder why." Twilight said. "I'm just glad that he's back, so can I go to bed now?" Spike asked. "Yes, Spike, you can." Twilight said. Author's Note Hahah! It's been too damn long...! I know the chapters right now are shit, but that's because I've lost my boner for writing this story. Well, they were shit to begin with, but these are shittier. Wrap your mind around that. I finally finished this half written chapter... I didn't feel like writing this. Someone pointed out how long it had been, so I needed to do something. I need some time to get the boner back. In the meantime... You all probably know that I published the Future Gohan story. That has given me some motivation to write some of this story, though. Please go check that out if you haven't. What Happened? (Edited)Cell had been defeated. He was finally dead. This was a time to celebrate, right? A time to be happy? That wasn't the case for the savior of humanity, Son Gohan. But why? Why wasn't that the case? Gohan saved the world from Cell, at the cost of Goku's own life. They wanted to wish him back, but he refused to return. Well, what happened next? Almost everyone Gohan knew turned on him. Piccolo, his own mother, and just about everyone he knew. Why? They thought Gohan caused Goku's death. It didn't make any sense. Only three people remained loyal to Gohan. Krillin, Bulma and Vegeta. Krillin's loyalty made perfect sense to Gohan. Krillin knew Goku by heart, and understood why he sacrificed himself for the world. Bulma had the same reasons as Krillin. Vegeta, however, was rather weird and unexpected. He had a hatred for Goku, but why was he so loyal to his son? Wouldn't he be like everyone else, and hate him? No. Only Vegeta himself knows why he even cared to be on Gohan's side at all. Actually, it's because Gohan saved his as-"Would you fuck off, author!?" Vegeta yelled. Fine, don't be a dick about it. The fact that almost everyone wants to kill Gohan astonished even Bulma and Vegeta. Vegeta killed many races, "fucked up a ton of shit," and even blew up a ton of planets. Piccolo was Goku's nemesis and even killed him before. Trunks even had Gohan as his master in his future. It just showed Gohan that everyone will turn on you in a minute, no matter how close you are to them or hypocritical they were. The heartbreaking realization made Gohan want to just fly into the sun. Where is Gohan today? It's only been a year since the Cell Games. Since then, he only has armor given to him by Vegeta. He's barely surviving. He's homeless, starving and dying. Piccolo, Future Trunks, Tenshinhan, Yamcha, and Chi Chi were searching for Gohan, as they desired to kill him. Gohan was surprised someone like his mother, or even Piccolo would resent him for something like that. Especially his mother. She married the guy, knowing his pure yet dumb nature. She knew he would sacrifice his own life as he did before. But... Now it's Gohan's fault. And Piccolo was being a huge hypocrite in doing so. Going to Capsule Corp wasn't an option because everyone would know he was there. Gohan refused suicide, no matter how tempting it was. He refused it, as he considered it a coward's way out. "And... And I don't want to be a coward!" Gohan says. But he doesn't want to fight. He can't bring himself to hurt his mother even in self defense. He loves her too much for that. Having to kill the person who once trained Gohan for the greater good who now hunted him was definitely not something Gohan wanted to do. Killing his friends in self defense would make him spiral into a depression that would never disappear. He hypothesized that he'd go insane. His final option other than fighting for his life... Was the dragon balls. Gohan has been in search for the Dragon Balls, and Bulma gave him the dragon radar. Gohan had just gotten the seventh dragon ball. Vegeta had helped, and so did Krillin. The seven dragon balls were on the ground. "Go ahead, make your wish." Vegeta said, arms crossed. "Alright... I just want to thank you two. You guys are the only ones who forgave me." Gohan said. "Don't sweat it, Gohan. I'm sure Goku would've done the same." Krillin said. "I don't care that Kakarot's dead, nor do I care about you in the slightest, but I do have a debt to repay. So make your wish." Vegeta said. "O-Okay... Alright, Arise, Shenron!" Gohan yelled. Out of the seven balls, a huge dragon emerged. It was Shenron, the eternal dragon. "You have summoned me. Make your wish, and I shall grant it." Shenron said. Gohan looked at Krillin who nodded to Gohan with a serious look. Then, Vegeta gave him a reassuring smile, which was unusual. "Okay... Mighty dragon! Grant my-" "Hold it right there!" Piccolo interrupted. Gohan turned around in surprise. He saw Piccolo alongside Tenshinhan, Yamcha, and Trunks. "W-Why!?" Gohan asked. Vegeta went Super Saiyan. "Hurry and make your wish, runt!" He said before clashing with Piccolo and Trunks. Krillin fought with Tenshinhan and Yamcha. "Dragon! Send me to another place! Or world! A place where I won't be hated like they hate me, please! It can be anywhere! It can be full of unicorns and ponies for all I care!" Gohan cried. Tears rolled down his face. "No!" Trunks said before being punched by Vegeta, who was then kicked by Piccolo, who was charging something in his fingers. "You wish to be taken to another world, where you shan't be hated as badly as them?" Shenron asked. "Yes! Please!" Gohan yelled. "Your wish is granted." Shenron said as his eyes glowed. "Makankosappo!" Piccolo yelled. A very powerful beam came out of his fingers aimed for Gohan. The beam impaled Gohan in the stomach. At that moment, Gohan went unconscious. He was teleported at that moment as well. The beam managed to go halfway through Gohan's body. "Damn it!" Tenshinhan said. "He's gone now! Why can't you guys just forget about him!?" Krillin asked. "He caused Goku's death, twice! That's not cool, man!" Yamcha said. "That dumbass is dead, get over it you dolts! Prepare for death!" Vegeta yelled before charging at his opponents. *** Gohan tried opening his eyes... "Can you hear me?" Someone said. "I... I can..." Gohan said. Gohan was in some sort of limbo. "I know you're hurt badly, but the place we're sending you off to will be perfect!... But not at first glance." Someone said. "W-Who are you...?" Gohan asked. "Me? I'm just the guy who sends people off to other worlds because of a wish. Someone appears here once in a blue moon. Well, have fun!" He said. 'Fun... I wish.' Gohan thought. Author's Note I know the edits don't justify a few of the dumb things like Piccolo's betrayal, but I tried making the first chapter make a little more sense. Discord's Return Pt. 1 (Edited Heavily)It was another day in Equestria. The children at the Ponyville school went to Canterlot for a field trip. "I want to start our field trip here, in the world famous Canterlot sculpture garden!" Cheerilee said happily. "That one over there represents friendship." She said, pointing to a statue of three ponies jumping. Well, three fillies in the class, Scootaloo, Applebloom and Sweetie Belle all knocked into each other, angering each other. "All right, my little ponies, this one represents victory." Cheerilee said, ending that somehow. She also pointed to a pony holding a flag. "How cool would it be to have THAT for a cutie mark?" Scootaloo asked excitedly. "Cool!" Applebloom said sarcastically. "If you were actually victoryful at something." She said, infuriating Scootaloo. "That's not a word!" Sweetie Belle said. "What are you, a dictionary?" Scootaloo asked. "Girls!" Cheerilee scolded, ending the argument. The three fillies rushed to her and the rest of the class in front of a statue of Discord. "Now THIS is a really interesting statue. What do you notice about it?" Cheerilee asked. "It's got an eagle claw!" Applebloom said. "And a lion paw!" Scootaloo said. "And a snake tail!" Sweetie Belle said. "This creature is called a draconequus. He has the head of a pony and a body made up of all sorts of things. What do you suppose that represents?" Cheerilee asked. "Confusion!" Applebloom said. Then Sweetie Belle shoved her away. "Evil!" She said. Then Scootaloo shoved her away. "Chaos!" She said. "It's not chaos, you dodo!" Sweetie Belle yelled. "Don't call me things I don't know the meaning of, and it is TOO chaos!" Scootaloo yelled. You can see where this is going. "Is not!" Sweetie Belle yelled. "You're both wrong!" Applebloom yelled, jumping on top of their heads. Oh shit. They all got into a brawl. The statue had a black shimmer of light for a moment... Cheerilee facehoofed, but she put on a smile. "Actually, in a way, you're all right." Cheerilee said. That ended the brawl. "This statue represents "Discord", which means a lack of harmony between ponies. In fact, you three have demonstrated discord so well that you're each going to write me an essay explaining it." She said. That got them some laughter from their class. "Now, let's go. And I don't want any more fighting." Cheerilee said, walking away, leading the fillies. "Confusion!" Applebloom said. "Evil!" Sweetie Belle said. "Chaos!" Scootaloo said. The actions of the Cutie Mark Crusaders, Scootaloo, Applebloom and Sweetie Belle seemingly awakened Discord. The statue cracked... *** Rainbow Dash was soaring through the skies, but suddenly, she was hit by a flying... Pink cloud? "Hey! Come back here, you!" Rainbow Dash yelled, charging at the pink cloud. Upon catching the cloud, Rainbow Dash discovers sit was flying cotton candy. As it turns out, they were flying everywhere! Then, a cotton candy cloud above Rainbow Dash rained one drop of... Something brown. "Hey! It's not supposed to rain until tomorrow! You can't just-" Rainbow Dash said before being rained on with... chocolate milk. "You just did." She said, admitting defeat. Down at Sweet Apple Acres, Applejack was picking the crops. At the moment, she was picking corn. Rainbow Dash was soaring around, trying to catch the cotton candy clouds. "GET BACK HERE!" She yelled. "Rainbow Dash, why is it raining? I mean, chocolate milk? I mean, chocolate milk rain!?" Applejack asked. Rainbow Dash flew to Applejack. "There's crazy weather all over Equestria! Cloudsdale is getting soaked by a major total storm right now! But don't worry, I'm not leaving you until I get control of Ponyville!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed before flying away. Then, popcorn started to appear. Applejack was engulfed by the absurd amount of popcorn. Pinkie Pie, nearby, was hopping and jumping into all the popcorn. "Why would you want to get rid of this?" She asked, licking the chocolate milk. Rarity was nearby, walking with a dress and a huge umbrella. She walked to Applejack, who just found her way out of the popcorn. "Applejack, I saw how bad things were happening and I came by to see how I can help! Without getting wet. Or dirty, or anything under my umbrella." Rarity said. Then, the apples on the trees grew many sizes. They were weighing the trees down, so much so that they bent. A tiny critter jumped on to it and took a huge bite out of one. So did many of Fluttershy's other animals. "Fluttershy! Get them critters to stop!" Applejack exclaimed. Angel, Fluttershy's bunny was eating one of the apples. "Now Angel, you should be ea-" Fluttershy said, before Angel and the other bunnies grew massive horse legs. "NO! It's not possible, I must be seeing things!" Fluttershy said. Twilight was nearby, investigating the weird occurrences. "Don't worry everyone! I've got a new spell that will fix everything!" She exclaimed. Twilight used her magic to perform a spell, but it changed nothing. "What! The fail safe spell didn't work! What do we do!?" She asked. "Uh, give up?" Spike asked. "Spike, Twilight will come up with something." Rarity said, using her magic to give Twilight her umbrella. "Plan B. Rainbow Dash! Can you put all the clouds into one corner of the sky?" Twilight asked. Rainbow Dash cleared herself of cotton candy and saluted. She instantly got every cloud together to form one big cloud. "Applejack, I need you to get those clouds down to earth!" Twilight said. Applejack used her rope to pull the clouds down. This caused the clouds to stop raining. "Hey! Why'd you do that?" Pinkie Pie said, who was drinking all of the chocolate milk. Twilight whispered something to Fluttershy. "Oh dear! I hope none of the animals see these delicious, filled cotton candy clouds! I hope none of them take some!" Fluttershy said. Every one of the animals noticed, and began to chow down on it. "Hey! This is mine!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed, eating it too. "When y'all are done, feel free to have some popcorn after your dessert!" Applejack said. "You see, Spike? You should never give up! There's nothing we can't overcome if we work together!" Twilight said. Gohan was nearby, sitting in the air. His back was facing our group, He was eating cotton candy! With his bare hands! Since it's all over the damn place, he had himself some breakfast. "...Was he there the whole time?" Twilight asked. "I think." Rainbow Dash said. "Gohan!" Applejack called. Gohan looked over his shoulder to see the group. "Hey!" He said, waving a hand. The Mane 6 expected him to come down, so they kept looking at him. "What?" Gohan asked. Then he thought of something. "Look, I know cotton candy isn't healthy for me, especially in the morning, but-" "GET DOWN HERE ALREADY!" Rainbow Dash interrupted. "Oh." Gohan said, tossing his treat into the already big pile. He flew down to our group. In that moment, Spike burped a message out. Twilight opened it, and read it. She gasped. "Come on, girls! Princess Celestia wants to see all of us in Canterlot, Immediately!" She said. "And... Well, it says that we could bring Gohan..." She added. "If she really needs you all immediately, then I'd like to know what's happening too." Gohan said. *** In Canterlot, Celestia was panicking. The doors burst open. "Princess Celestia!" Twilight called. The Mane 6 and Gohan came in. "We came as fast as we could!" Twilight said. "Thank you, Twilight. Thank you all." Celestia said. "Is this about the crazy weather? And the animal's behavior? What's happening out there!? Why isn't my magic working? And wh-" Twilight said before Celestia motioned for her to be silent. "Follow me." Celestia said, trotting towards a hall. The Mane 6 and Gohan followed. "I've called you here for a matter of great importance. It seems an old foe of mine someone I thought I defeated long ago has returned." Celestia said. "His name... Is Discord." Celestia said. "Oh I know what that means! It means disagreement between people." Gohan said. "Yes. Discord is the mischievous spirit of disharmony. Before my sister and I stood up to him, he ruled Equestria in an eternal state of unrest, and unhappiness. Luna and I saw how miserable it was for earth ponies, pegasi and unicorns alike! So after discovering the Elements of Harmony, we combined our powers, and rose up against him! Turning him to stone!" Celestia said. "Alright Princess!" Rainbow Dash said. "I thought the spell we cast would keep him contained forever. But since Luna and I are no longer connected to the Elements, the spell has been broken!" Celestia said. "No longer connected?" Twilight asked. "This, is Canterlot Tower. The Elements are kept inside, since all of you recovered them." Celestia said, showing to them Canterlot Tower. "I have a question." Gohan said. "Go on." Celestia said. "Can I have a go against Discord?" Gohan asked. "I'm not sure... I believe it would be wise to leave this to them, Son Gohan." Celestia said. "Okay." Gohan said. "I need you to wield the Elements of Harmony once again! And stop Discord! Before he thrusts Equestria into eternal chaos!" Celestia said. "But why us? Why don't you-" Twilight said, before "Hey look! We're famous!" Pinkie Pie said, referring to a window with the Mane 6 and Gohan taking down Nightmare Moon with their combined attacks. "You six show the full potential for all of the Elements! By harnessing the magic of your friendship, and the power of ki, to defeat your mighty foe!" Celestia said. "Although Luna and I once controlled the Elements, it is you now controls their power, and it is you who must defeat Discord!" Celestia said. "You can count on us, Princess Celestia!" Twilight said. "Hold on a second! Eternal chaos, comes with chocolate rain you guys! CHOCOLATE RAIN!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed. "Pinkie, chocolate rain doesn't justify all the chaos happening." Gohan said. "Don't listen to her, Princess. We'd be honored to used the Elements of Harmony again!" Twilight said. Celestia used her horn to unlock the door to the Elements of Harmony. There was a magnificent chest behind the door, containing the Elements. "If we keep the Elements, I'll take that case!" Rarity said. "Have no fear, ponies. I have total confidence that you will be able to defeat Discord!" Celestia said, using her magic to give to the chest to the Mane 6. She opened it, and... The Elements of Harmony were missing! Celestia and all of the Mane 6 stared at the empty box in disbelief. "Uh oh..." Gohan said. "Oh well! If anyone needs me, I'll be outside in the chocolate puddles with a GIANT swizzle straw!" Pinkie Pie said, trotting away, but instantly returning. "The Elements! They're gone!" Twilight exclaimed. "That chamber is protected by a spell only I can cast! This doesn't make sense!" Celestia said. An evil laugh could be heard. "Make sense?" A voice called. "What fun is there in making sense?" It said. "Guys, I can sense a pretty huge power." Gohan said. "Discord! Show yourself!" Celestia yelled. There was a laugh by Discord. "Did you miss me, Celestia?" He said. Discord took the form of himself in the stained glass. "I've missed you." It said. The Discord art flew into another stained glass. One that represented the Mane 6 and the Elements of Harmony. "It's quite ugly, being encased in stone but you wouldn't know that, would you? Because I don't turn ponies into stone!" He said, knocking on the glass from inside the art. "Enough! What have you done with the Elements of Harmony!?" Celestia asked. "Oh, I just borrowed them for a teensy little while." He said, making the art for the Elements of Harmony disappear. "You'll never get away with this, Discord!" Celestia said. "Oh I've forgotten how grim you can be, Celestia. You've made Equestria quite, BORING." Discord said. "Hey! Nopony insults the Princess!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed, flying at the glass. Gohan stopped her by appearing in front of the glass. "Stop! You'll do nothing but destroy the glass!" He said. "Oh! That must be Rainbow Dash! Famed for wielding the Element of Harmony you represent." Discord said. "That's right! And I'll always be loyal to the princess!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed. Discord disappeared. "We'll see about that." He said. "I cannot believe we're wasting our time talking to a tacky window." Rarity said. Discord appeared in the window behind Rarity. "The beautiful Rarity, representing the Element of Generosity, if I'm not mistaken." He said. "So you know who we are, big deal." Applejack said. Discord's art grew in size. "Oh I know much more than that, honest Applejack." He said. "And you seem to know our strengths, too!" Twilight exclaimed. Discord's art appeared in a different glass now. "Oh yes, Twilight Sparkle. And yours in the most powerful Element, Magic." He said. "Fluttershy's is kindness and Pinkie Pie's is the most favorite of mine, laughter. Pinkie Pie was snickering. "Pinkie!" Twilight exclaimed. Pinkie Pie burst into laughter. "He's standing in your head!" She said. Discord was dancing on Twilight's art. "He knows our strengths? That's gonna be a problem." Gohan said. "Yes it will... Oh my, it appears that I don't know you! How quaint." Discord said, pointing at Gohan. "Oh. Alright." Gohan said. "You know, people are usually kind enough to share their names with others speaking with them." Discord said. "Excuse me, sir. I am Son Gohan." Gohan said. "Son Gohan, hmm? I really know nothing of you!" Discord said. Gohan smirked. "Stop stalling, Discord! What have you done with the Elements of Harmony!?" Celestia asked. "Oh, so boring Celestia! Fine, I'll tell you. But I'll only tell you in my way." Discord said, jumping from glass to glass. "Retrieve your missing element just makes sense to this change of events. Twists and turns of my master plan, then find the Elements back where you began." Discord said, returning his art to its former state, then disappearing with an evil laugh. "C-Can we go home now?" Fluttershy asked. "What do you reckon he meant? Twists and turns and back where we started?" Applejack asked. Twilight trotted to a window. "Twists and turns... That's it!" She exclaimed. "I bet Discord hid the Elements in the palace labyrinth!" She added. "Good luck, my little ponies. The fate of Equestria, is in your hooves." Celestia said, bowing her head. "Thanks, Princess! We won't let you down." Twilight said. Gohan and the Mane 6 ran to the palace labyrinth. *** They stood in front of the labyrinth. "D-Do we have to enter... THAT?" Fluttershy asked, cowering in fear. "Nope! Because we got these babies!" Rainbow Dash said, referring to her wings. She flew up. "I'll fly above and see where-" Rainbow Dash said before her wings suddenly disappeared. She fell to the ground. "My wings!" She exclaimed. So did Fluttershy's, and the unicorns lost their horns. The four screamed. A green ball appeared. A draconeequus appeared, it was Discord, laughing like a madman. Gohan's Life Through Season 2 (Edited)Gohan had a rocky life through season 2. Although most of his days were filled with training, it was also filled with the weird events of Equestria. When Twilight was trying to write a letter to Celestia, she couldn't come up with anything, and feared tardiness. Gohan was dragged into all that. *** "You want to help me with training?" Gohan asked. "Sure! Anything I can do for one of my best friends!" Twilight said. "Can you create weights?" Gohan asked. "I could just come in that room with you and help." Twilight said. "Oh no, you shouldn't. Your bones would shatter in there." Gohan said. "Why? I want to help!" Twilight said. "Because that room goes up to 1000x this place's gravity! You would die at 10!" Gohan said. "Oh. Well, I can't create weights, sorry." Twilight said. "That's alright. I'm heading back in, see you around." Gohan said. "Don't you need help with anything else?" Twilight asked. "I'm alright, thanks." Gohan said as he entered the 100x gravity chamber. "Oh... Alright." Twilight said as she trotted away. Later. Gohan and Twilight were supposed to be at a picnic with the rest of the Mane 6. Twilight was trying to find a way to write Celestia a letter, and Gohan was still training. Eventually, Celestia had arrived in Ponyville. Her power level caused Gohan to stop training and investigate. "Meet me at the library." Celestia said, teleporting to Twilight's Treehouse. "I'm sorry everypony. I'm going back to magic kindergarten." Twilight said with a sad tone while trotting back home. "Magic kindergarten!?" The rest of the Mane 6 asked. Gohan just arrived on the scene. "What happened?" Gohan asked. "Twilight's going to get sent to magic kindergarten!" Fluttershy said. "M-Magic what?" Gohan asked. "No time for chit-chat, we gotta go!" Rainbow Dash said. *** There was when Nightmare Night came yet again, and Luna arrived to fix her reputation. *** "Nightmare Night? You mean when Princess Luna was that Nightmare Moon?" Gohan asked. He was where the shops are, was talking to Twilight and Spike. "Yep! Why don't you have a costume?" Twilight asked. "I-I guess I just didn't know, heh." Gohan said. "Well... Why are you here?" Twilight asked. "To buy food." Gohan said. "How's my outfit?" Twilight asked. "That's a cool wizard's costume." Gohan said. "Close enough, somepony actually got it." Twilight said. "Welcome to the Nightmare Night festival!" Mayor Mare, who was a clown said through a microphone. Twilight, Spike, and Gohan went to see what the hubbub was about. "All of our little ponies, who have been out collecting sweets, should follow our friend Zecora to hear the legend of... Nightmare Moon!" Mayor Mare said before cackling. "The voice might work better if she wasn't dressed like that." Spike said to Twilight. Twilight giggled in return. Mayor Mare pointed a hoof at nothing, which turned into an explosion of green dust. Out of it, came Zecora, wearing a wig with spiders on it. She also wore a Batman cape, but let's not focus on that. "Follow me. And very soon, you will hear the tale of Nightmare Moon!" Zecora said. *** After Zecora scared the fillies and Pinkie Pie with the 'scary' tale of Nightmare Moon, Luna arrived on the scene in a carriage. The ponies, except Gohan, were being scared by the flying carriage. "ITS NIGHTMARE MOON! RUUUUN!" Pinkie Pie, who was in a chicken costume, yelled. All of the ponies, even Zecora but except for Twilight, ran. Gohan stood still. The carriage arrived at the town, where Gohan and Twilight followed. Luna, wearing a hood emerged from the carriage, scaring all of the ponies. She removed it, and lightning flashed with it. All of the ponies, except for Gohan and Twilight bowed before her. "Princess Luna!" Twilight said happily. Spike dragged her down to the ground as if she's bowing. Gohan walked up to Luna, who in turn walked towards Gohan. They stood in front of each other with mean eyes. But Gohan's quickly turned into a cheerful face. "Hey Princess! How are you!?" Gohan asked, holding his hand out. "I'm very fine, Son Gohan." Luna whispered as she held her hoof out, shaking Gohan's hand. "Alright, you have a reason for being here, right?" Gohan asked. "Indeed." Luna whispered. "CITIZENS OF PONYVILLE!" She called, very loudly. Her voice alone was enough to create winds. "WE HAVE GRACED YOUR VILLAGE WITH OUR TINY PRESENCE! SO THAT YOU MIGHT BEHOLD, THE REAL PRINCESS OF THE NIGHT!" Luna called with a smirk. "A CREATURE OF NIGHTMARES NO LONGER, BUT INSTEAD, A PONY WHO DESIRES YOUR LOVE LOVE AND ADMIRATION! TOGETHER WE SHALL CHANGE THIS DREADFUL CELEBRATION INTO A GREAT, AND GLORIOUS FEAST!" Luna called, scaring the ponies out of their minds. "DID YOU HEAR THAT!? NIGHTMARE MOON'S GOING TO FEAST ON US ALL!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed before running away and screaming with the children. Gohan looked at Pinkie Pie in confusion. This left Luna confused. "What? No children, no! You no longer have reason to fear us! Screams of delight is what your princess desires, not screams of terror!" Luna said, stomping a hoof on the ground, cracking it. "Madam Mayor! Thy princess of the night has arrived!" Luna called, beckoning a hoof at Mayor Mare. This only scared the ponies even more. Luna became angry at this, and pointed her hoof at another pony, which scared her too. "What is the matter with you!?" Luna asked, pointing her hoof at others. This only scared them. When Luna pointed her hoof at Gohan, he just waved and smiled like it was nothing. "Fine then! Be that way! We won't even depart with the traditional farewell!" Luna called, beginning to trot away. Gohan was confused now. *** Spike's birthday wasn't the best either. *** Gohan cracked open a boulder full of gems. "Alright, this can be Spike's present!" Gohan said. He filled his sack, and waiting for tomorrow. Tomorrow, he was at Twilight's Treehouse, along with the Mane 6. "Happy Birthday!" They all said. All of them, except for Gohan and Twilight stacked them in Spike's arms. Spike looked confused at the gifts. "Don't you know that you get presents on your birthday?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Actually, this is my first birthday in Ponyville. I usually just get one present... From Twilight... Book." Spike said. Twilight was trotting towards Spike with a book, and stopped in her tracks. She realized her gift mistake and hid it. "Well, don't eat it all in one place, but here you go." Gohan said, placing the sack of gems beside Spike. Spike glanced at the sack. "Is that what I think it is?" He asked, pointing at the sack. "You might as well open it, along with your other presents." Gohan said. "Alright! I was right! It's gems!" Spike exclaimed. Rarity's mouth was agape. "Gohan dear, I want to invite you the next time we happen to go gem hunting." She said. "Uh... Alright." Gohan said. After the party, Spike got immensely greedy, and demanded things from other ponies. This caused him to turn into a giant dragon. Despite Ponyville's greatest efforts, they could not stop the ever growing Spike. Even the Wonderbolts were not able to defeat Spike. The huge power level and roars got Gohan to leave his gravity chamber and fly towards Ponyville. Spike had managed to have Rarity in his stash. "What the... A dragon!?" Gohan asked. "Not again!" He yelled as he pummeled Spike in the stomach repeatedly. This subdued Spike for a bit. Gohan flew up to Spike's face and slapped it. "Drop it." He demanded. Spike roared at Gohan in return, who wasn't fazed. "HELP ME!" Rarity yelled. "Oh man, that's not good." Gohan said. "GOHAN! ITS SPIKE!" Twilight yelled. "Spike? Then that means..." Gohan said. Spike had traversed up a mountain, and trapped the Wonderbolts and his stash inside a cave. Gohan quickly followed. "Spike, I don't know how, but you've really grown! Why are you doing this!?" Gohan yelled. Spike tried to show that he didn't care by mimicking him. "That's right! You have nothing to be proud of!" Rarity shouted. "Stealing everypony's things, terrorize the town, and you dared to use me as a weapon against my own friends! Which is horrible, but I understand since you're a dragon and all! AND THIS!" Rarity yelled, removing her ruined cape. "THIS IS A CRIME AGAINST FASHON!" Rarity shouted. This revealed a necklace gem that Spike gave to Rarity. After a long lecture, remembering memories and painful realizations, Spike ended up turning into a baby again. "Spike!? You're the rampaging dragon!?" Rarity asked. *** On Hearth's Warming Eve, Gohan showed a true mastery of swordsmanship, after the play. He even got a sword that night. *** "A decoy? This actually looks and feels real!" Gohan said, holding a 'decoy' of Commander Hurricane's sword. It was a sword used for plays, but it was an actual sword. It looked very similar to Gohan's from when he trained under Piccolo. "Yeah, they said we could use it if we want. Nopony was dangerous enough to even hold it." Rainbow Dash said. Gohan wielded the sword majestically. He swung it down, turned a little bit, and swung it down again with one hand in rapid succession, while balancing on one foot many times. "Oh my! Gohan, are you a swordsman by any chance?" Rarity asked. "I did use a sword when I was four... This looks exactly like it! Even the sheath is the same!" Gohan said. "I think you can keep it. It looks awesome, anyway." Rainbow Dash said. "OOH! Cut this pie into eighths!" Pinkie Pie said, throwing an apple pie into the air. Gohan jumped up and did it instantly, with a perfect cut. The pie landed in a plate Pinkie Pie held. "Woo hoo! Now we each have a slice for the trip home!" Pinkie Pie said. The Mane 6, Spike and Gohan laughed to this. *** When Applejack left to work at a cherry farm, Gohan was stuck in Ponyville with a nasty cold, so he didn't follow the Mane 6. For hearts and hooves day, Gohan didn't have a Valentine, but spent the day making cards for the whole town. *** "Thanks!" Many ponies said as Gohan handed out cards. Handing it to some of his friends was a little difficult. In fact, a few of them thought Gohan was actually coming on to them. Rarity thought so, and asked Gohan if he had a crush. "No. I don't want to fall in love with a pony." Gohan said. "Oh. I thought you and Spike were after me for a moment." Rarity chuckled nervously. "Well... Happy hearts and hooves day." Gohan said, flying out of the Boutique. Even Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash thought the same thing. "Y-You don't like me in that way, do you?" Fluttershy asked. "No! Rarity asked the same thing, but I'm not interested in loving a pony." Gohan said. "That's a relief. I didn't want to turn you down and make you feel bad." Fluttershy chuckled. "Alright. See you!" Gohan said before flying away. "What? Are you coming on to me?" Rainbow Dash asked. Gohan groaned. "Not again... No, I am not because I am not interested in loving a pony." He explained. "Good. I had my eye on you just in case." Rainbow Dash said. "In case what? I like a pony?" Gohan asked. "N-None of your business!" Rainbow Dash retorted as she blushed and flew away. Gohan chuckled in response. *** When Fluttershy was taught to be assertive, she dished out the most painful insult on Gohan. *** Gohan witnessed Fluttershy scream at a pony, and he ran. He flew over to her. "Fluttershy? What happened?" Gohan asked. "None of your BUSINESS." Fluttershy said. "I-I'm sorry if I eavesdropped on something personal." Gohan said. "Why? So you could walk all over the shy pony you see? Well New Fluttershy isn't letting THAT happen. Now get out of my way!" Fluttershy yelled. Gohan was in the air, and was NOT in Fluttershy's way. "Uh... Are you going to be flying this way?" Gohan asked. "No, I wanted you to BUCK OFF!" Fluttershy yelled. Gohan was offended by the statement. "What did I do!?" He retorted. "I know what you're thinking. 'OOH! Poor doormat Fluttershy can't move me, I might as well get in her way!' But New Fluttershy is telling you to MOVE!" Fluttershy yelled. "C-Can you calm down? Are you stressed or something? I don't think you're a pushover, Fluttershy!" Gohan said. "Says the 'protector of Equestria' who's a TAILLESS MONKEY!" Fluttershy yelled. 'That's what Frieza called us.' Gohan thought. "W-What happened to you, Fluttershy!? Why are you so mean!?" Gohan retorted. "Iron Will taught me how to be assertive!" Fluttershy retorted. "There's a difference between being assertive and being a HUGE jerk, Fluttershy!" Gohan retorted. "Says the brainless fighter." Fluttershy scoffed. "You're so dumb that you let your father die!" She said with a smirk. That was the heavy hit. Gohan's anger grew immensely, but it paled in comparison to the major sadness he felt. "Y-You... Think I killed my dad?" Gohan formed. He barely said it. "No duh! No wonder he's dead! You killed him!" Fluttershy said. Gohan's face showed how sad he just became. Gohan had tears rolling down his face. "I-If you... T-Then... Fine!" Gohan retorted before flying away and crying. "Pfft. Baby." Fluttershy said. *** You can tell the depression soon followed. You know, the extreme wailing in his shack. They did make up after that, though. *** "G-Gohan?" Fluttershy asked, knocking on the door of the gravity chamber. Gohan was inside of it, but he wasn't training. He was trying to clear his thoughts in the gravity. Hearing the knock, he lost his meditative state. Gohan turned the gravity machine off and opened the door. He showed no emotion when he saw Fluttershy, but he was definitely scared that she would keep talking about his past. Even though Gohan never told anyone about that part. "U-Um... Hi..." Fluttershy mumbled. "Hello Fluttershy." Gohan said. "I-I came and wanted to say... I-I'm sorry for... What I did earlier..." Fluttershy said, hiding her face behind her mane. "I didn't mean any of it! I swear!" She immediately said. "What you said really hurt, but it's for a completely different reason. But, I forgive you. I just want to know why you changed." Gohan said. Fluttershy sighed in relief. "Good... I attended something that taught me to be a real meanie." She said. "Well, it's great to have you back." Gohan said, gesturing for a hug. They hugged. *** Gohan had actually went with Spike so he could figure out his heritage. It did not end well for the other dragons. *** At Twilight's Treehouse... "He just wants to learn about his heritage. I mean, I want to learn more about mine, but it's all I know." Gohan said. "It's too dangerous!" Twilight said. "Come on, Twilight! I need answers!" Spike said. "And he's the perfect bodyguard in case I may get mauled!" He added. "Twilight, trust me. He will be alright." Gohan said. "Ugh, fine." Twilight said. "Really!?" Spike asked. "Okay! Pack up, Spike. I'm taking you on a trip ~~to a place called Auschwitz~~!" Gohan said. Don't take that seriously. "Awesome!" Spike said. *** Gohan flew Spike to where the dragons lived. Gohan brought his sword, while Spike carried some essentials. "This is it!" Gohan said, landing gently. Spike jumped off Gohan's back. "Sweet!" He said. Spike tried to traverse up a mountain, but quickly tripped and slid down. "I guess I'll take you up there too." Gohan said, laughing awkwardly. Gohan and Spike reached the top of where Spike wanted to go. At the top, they saw many dragons. One breathed fire towards Gohan and Spike. Gohan used his ki to keep it from coming, but Spike hid behind a rock. "Don't worry, I'll be around." Gohan said. Spike peeked from behind the rock to look down and find teenage dragons. "Let's go down there!" Spike said, pointing at the teenagers. "Okay." Gohan said, carrying Spike on his back again. They made way for the teenagers. The teenage dragons were all wrestling. "Hello everyone!" Gohan said as they landed. Spike jumped off his back to talk to the dragons. "Uh hi. I'm Spike." Spike said. The teenagers stopped wrestling to look at the two for a moment. There was a weird thing they never saw and a baby dragon. "You sure your name is Spike and not SHRIMP?" A teenage dragon asked. They all laughed. "Hey, hey, hey! Let's all be nice with each other." Gohan said. "I'm Spike! I'm sure about that!" Spike retorted. "You sure? It's more like PEEWEE to me." Another dragon said. The other dragons laughed. 'This can't be my age group.' Gohan thought. Gohan sensed a few presences behind him. It was Rarity, Rainbow Dash and Twilight dresses as a terrible dragon. "Spike, I'll be back in a second." Gohan said, flying away. The dragons looked at Gohan in confusion. "How did your friend fly?" One asked. "Beats me." Spike said. "Alright guys, cough it up. What are you three doing?" Gohan asked. "How'd you- Nevermind. We came to check on Spike." Twilight said. "Don't worry about it, he's with me. I would leave if I were you, they don't seem to nice around here." Gohan said. "Yeah, I'm going to go and take a nap." Rainbow Dash said. "Just make sure Spike comes back in one piece!" Twilight said. "You have my word." Gohan said. "Thanks. Bye!" Twilight said before teleporting away. 'Okay, that's out of the picture.' Gohan said, flying back to Spike. Already, they were making more fun of Spike. "I'd say your a PART pony!" A dragon said, cornering Spike. "That's enough!" Gohan said as he landed. "What are YOU going to do about it, huh?" One of the dragons asked. "You don't want to know. Really." Gohan said. "Who's this? Your monkey friend?" A dragon asked. "Close enough. I'm Gohan. Now, let's treat each other fairly." Gohan said. "Let's prove that 'Spike' here's a dragon. WHOS UP FOR A BELCHING CONTEST!?" A dragon asked. Three dragons burped, or breathed fire, and the third one had the nastiest one. "Think you can top that?" A dragon asked Spike. Spike tried, but ended up burping a letter out. A dragon read the letter, and laughed. "Get this, guys! Spike's friends with a nabby pabby pony princess!" He said. The other dragons laughed as a result. "Let's jump off the cliff! Whoever creates the biggest splash wins!" A dragon yelled. All the dragons jumped off, and Spike tried to as well, but belly flopped. "He's no pony, he survived a belly flop like that!" A dragon said. The other dragons applauded Spike. Gohan gave his cheers as well. Later, they held a 'ceremony' for Spike, crowning him as rookie dragon. Then the dragons partied 'dragon style', which was eating a ton of gems. Gohan looked on in fear. 'Spike wouldn't end up like them, would he?' He asked himself. Eventually, they all flew to a pheonix's nest, where Spike was being pushed into getting the parents to flee while the others grabbed the eggs. Spike was trying to avoid it. "Seriously, you guys have no respect!" Gohan shouted. This caused the dragons to stop talking, cheering or laughing. "This little guy's a baby, and you're making him do things that's too much! I mean, you guys were probably in the same place as him!" Gohan shouted. "Well, so what? We can do what we want!" A dragon yelled. "That doesn't mean you have to bully a BABY of all dragons, into harming nature!" Gohan said. "Why are you talking anyway? You're a shrimp like him!" A dragon said. "I'm talking because you're not helping my friend, when all he wants to do is find out his heritage!" Gohan said. "This is his heritage! We do pranks and stuff like this all the time!" A dragon said. "Spike, do you really want them to take the parents' children?" Gohan asked. "Uh... No... But it's all part of being a dragon!" Spike said. "Spike, just because you're a dragon, doesn't mean you have to act like one. I mean, look at me! I'm a Saiyan, but I'm not looking to pick fights or conquer planets, like my race did. Why? Because it's wrong." Gohan said. "I guess you're right." Spike said. "Hold on! He still needs to do this!" A dragon said. "I don't want to." Spike said. "What did you just say?" The same dragon asked, walking slowly up to Spike. Gohan quickly stepped in front of Spike. "He said no." He said. "Not if I have ANYTHING to say about it!" The dragon said, swinging a fist. Gohan caught the fist, shocking the other dragons. "Leave, before I do something bad." He said. "Like what?" The dragon asked. Gohan took a deep breath. He swung the dragon around and threw him back to the mountains. The other dragons looked in shock. "How could you do that to our friend!?" They asked, all going for Gohan. Spike cowered and ran to a bush in fear. Gohan punched one in the stomach, broke another's arm and knocked out another with a powerful kick. They all fell to the ground. "H-How!?" The dragons asked. "Go. I won't stop here if you stay." Gohan said. The dragons quickly flew away in fear. "Thanks Gohan." Spike said. "Not a problem. Now let's get home, Twilight's worried sick." Gohan said, carrying Spike again. *** Gohan even helped to train Fluttershy for the Rainy Season. *** Fluttershy had just ran home, because of her pathetic wingpower. "Come on, Gohan! Show them how much wingpower you have!" Rainbow Dash said. "Uh... Okay." Gohan said. 'Just suppress yourself.' He thought. Gohan flew fast by accident. "A-A 52.8." Rainbow Dash said. 'Oh no.' Gohan thought. "That was awesome!" Rainbow Dash said. "R-Really?" Gohan asked. "You could help us!" Rainbow Dash said. "No, I'll be there as a last resort. I'll go check on Fluttershy." Gohan said, flying away. "See ya! Now, let's get to training!" Rainbow Dash said. *** "Fluttershy?" Gohan asked, knocking on the door to her cottage. Fluttershy opened the door. "Hello. What brings you here?" She asked. "Because of what happened with the wingpower. You're usually faster than that, what happened?" Gohan asked. Fluttershy explained her problem at Cloudsdale, and how she wasn't great, and the fillies laughing at her. "Hm... I could train you to be better." Gohan said. "R-Really? B-But your training is too intense!" Fluttershy said. "I'll tone it down a million notches for you, but we need to fix something before you tackle physical training." Gohan said. "W-What?" Fluttershy asked. "Follow me." Gohan said, flying away. *** "Alright, we need to fix this mental problem. We need to push the thought of that out." Gohan said. They were at a lake, where there were no other ponies, and the background was calming. "H-How will we do that?" Fluttershy asked. "We're going to try meditating, and pushing those thoughts out with thoughts that build you up." Gohan said. "H-How will we do it?" Fluttershy asked. "Well, with no surroundings to bother you, it can be a walk in the park. But you have to calm yourself instead of thinking." Gohan said. "How?" Fluttershy asked. "I'll explain as we go along." Gohan said. "Close your eyes. Focus on your breath. Don't think of anything else, but that rhythm. Don't even judge it." He said. Fluttershy did just that. Eventually, she didn't realize that she couldn't think about anything but her breathing. 'Alright.' Gohan thought. After about a half hour, Fluttershy was no longer in a meditative state. She blinked a few times. "Nice job. You lasted a long time for a beginner." Gohan said. "R-Really?" Fluttershy asked. "I want you to remember that feeling when you're feeling down, it will boost you." Gohan said. "Yay." Fluttershy said. "And now it's time for the real part, physical training!" Gohan said. "Oh. Right..." Fluttershy said. *** Fluttershy was doing very slow wing push ups. "Come on! Faster! You're too slow!" Gohan pestered. He was trying to get Fluttershy to use that feeling to forget what Gohan's insults were. It worked, and Fluttershy paid no attention to Gohan's countless insults. She finally did 30 of the push ups. "There you go. Take a break." Gohan said. "Phew!... Why did you insult me?" Fluttershy asked in between pants. "Putting your meditation to the test." Gohan said. "Oh. It worked!" Fluttershy said. "Yeah! You'll be flying with everyone else in no time!" Gohan said. *** Gohan didn't know that the Cutie Mark Crusaders had kind of ruined his reputation with Gabby Gums until he read his column. *** "Who wrote this? Gabby Gums?" Gohan asked. "Yeah, its cool!" Rainbow Dash said. They were in the skies. "I've never heard of this thing, but it's hurtful! It even said something mean about the mayor!" Gohan said. "But it's cool!" Rainbow Dash said. "Gabby Gums wrote me down as a monkey with nothing better to do than train. I have a social life, but this Gabby Gums just made everyone think I'm antisocial!" Gohan said. "Suck it up." Rainbow Dash said. "You wouldn't be saying that if YOU were in the paper." Gohan said. *** That was most of Season 2 anyway. Now, let's get to where Gohan and his friends are now! The Crystal Empire Pt. 2 (Edited)"It looks like my Grandpa's castle in photographs! Except it's more crystal! And bigger" Gohan said. "It's marvelous!" Rarity said. "Sparklerific!" Pinkie Pie said. They entered the massive place. "It's gorgeous! Absolutely gorgeous!" Rarity said. She kept sputtering on about how amazing the place was. Eventually, Applejack stepped in. "Focus, Rarity." She said. "We're here to help Twilight, not admire the scenery." She added. "Eh. I don't know what the big deal is. It looks like just another big castle to me." Rainbow Dash said. "Oh- P- Gah- Just another old- HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MIND?" Rarity asked, running up to Rainbow Dash. "Look at the magnifi-" She said before her friends were laughing. It was a joke. "Very funny." Rarity said with a smile. They all entered the palace. Cadence was there, she had been performing a spell for ages now. She was REALLY tired. "Cadence!" Twilight called. Cadence looked up to see Twilight. They did their best friend dance. Then, Cadence almost let the spell stop. "We need to meet up sometime, when Equestria is not doomed." Cadence joked. "Are you okay?" Twilight asked. "I could give you a boost, if you want." Gohan said. "Please... I'm so tired." Cadence said. "Alright." Gohan said, sparing a nice cup of energy to Cadence. Cadence was no longer tired. "Thanks! That's amazing!" She said. "No problem. But why is she doing the spell for so long?" Gohan asked. "Is it for that thing we saw earlier?" He added. "Cadence has been able to use her magic to spread love and light. That seems to be what is protecting the Empire. But she hasn't slept. Barely eats!" Shining Armor said. "We need a defense? I could take over." Gohan said. "Really? Oh no, I couldn't... You're but a child!" Cadence said. "It's alright, really. Watch." Gohan said, spreading his arms out. He closed his eyes, and yellow glows illuminated around his hands. "Ha!" He yelled, opening his eyes. The yellow flew outward, setting up a ki barrier around 75% of the city. "Oops. Need a little bit more power." Gohan said, turning Super Saiyan. That covered the town, and more. Even more than Cadence's long spell. "I got it." Gohan said. "W-Wow... If it really works, then..." Cadence said, stopping the spell. It did, it was preventing the cold from getting in and also the spirit, which was King Sombra. Gohan set his arms down. "Okay, I have the barrier up. It should stay up until I stop it. Or if I don't have energy." Gohan said. "You never cease to amaze us, Gohan." Shining Armor said. Gohan chuckled. "I'm just trying to help out." He said. "Our next problem is trying to gather what's happening in the Arctic, and we couldn't find anything out from the Crystal Ponies!" Shining Armor said. "Crystal Ponies!? There are Crystal Ponies!?" Rarity asked, pulling her mane. But then she realized how she acted. And acted normal again. "Uh, please. Continue." She said. "But we have to believe one of them knows we can protect the Empire without Cadence or Gohan's magic." Shining Armor said. "It isn't magic. It's ki." Gohan said. "Sorry. But we need to find out from one of the Crystal Ponies that we can protect the empire without Cadence or Gohan." Shining Armor said. Twilight thought about it, and got the solution. "A research paper!" She said. "Huh?" Shining Armor asked. "Oh, yeah! We could go to the library and find out how they did it back then!" Gohan said. "Huh? I was just going to ask the Crystal Ponies. It must be part of my test! OOH! I love research papers!" Twilight said. "Yeah, who doesn't love them." Rainbow Dash joked, nudging Pinkie Pie. "OOH! Let me guess," Pinkie Pie said, before picking up and/or dragging the ponies. "Is it Spike? No, is it Fluttershy? Rarity? Gohan?" Pinkie Pie asked. "Hey, I like to study!" Gohan said. "Don't worry, big brother. I am really good at this sort of thing." Twilight said. "Okay, now we need to feed you." Shining Armor said, pointing a hoof at Cadence. *** "So, the plan is Crystal Ponies first, then the possibly not there awesome library second?" Gohan asked. "Yes." Twilight said. "Jeez, even though you have awesome powers, you're an egghead!" Rainbow Dash said. "I wanted to be an orthodontist when I was four." Gohan said. "Ugh. I don't even know what an orthodontist is." Rainbow Dash said. "An orthodontist does-" "I didn't ask." Rainbow Dash interrupted. "Oop. Sorry." Gohan said. The Mane 6 and Gohan were at the center of town. "Alright, let's each ask the Crystal Ponies!" Gohan said. Then, the seven each went around town, searching for answers. But they all had the same answer. "Sorry, but I don't remember anything before King Sombra took over. I don't even want to remember the time he ruled over us." They said. "I don't have any information." They said. But, they didn't feel the same. Gohan didn't bother checking the Crystal Ponies, because he pieced together what Shining Armor said. He was looking for the awesome library. And he found it! His mouth was agape looking at the many shelves and shelves of books. *** Now, Twilight had her turn at her mouth being agape. But, there was another elderly Crystal Pony. She was the librarian. "Can I help you?" She asked. "Yes, we're looking for a book!" Twilight said. "We have plenty of those." The librarian said. "You do... You do! You really do..." Twilight said, staring at all the books around her. "We're looking for a history book. Something about how the Empire might've protected itself from danger before." Applejack said. "History... History... Ah, yes." The librarian said. This got the seven to smile. But, after a long silence, Twilight couldn't take the suspense. "Uh... Where is it?" Twilight asked. "I... I can't seem to remember..." The librarian said. Twilight groaned. "I can look." Gohan said. "Alright, but you better be qui.......ck?" Twilight asked before seeing Gohan moving at speeds faster than Rainbow Dash. He looked at every single book on every single shelf with precision and speed. He even put the books back. "W-What!?" Rainbow Dash asked. "You STILL think you're faster than him?" Pinkie Pie asked. "I... I... I don't know." Rainbow Dash said insecurely. "Wow! We could hire that... Monkey to help me organize." The librarian said. "Wait... Do I even work here?" She asked. Gohan found the history book. "I got it!" He said. "Let me see!" Twilight said, using her magic to take the book out of Gohan's hands. "I just hope it has the answers we need." Twilight said, opening the book. Princess Twilight Sparkle Pt. 2Gohan flew into the Everfree Forest, smashing and blasting every vine in his way. He had to admit, it was doing wonders as training. Dodging and swiftly attacking the vines wasn't the easiest thing. He saw Zecora's house being overrun. But he was still going to find the source. He also had trouble finding it too. He searched for about a half hour until he heard his friends. Apparently a rock crocodile was attacking them. The animal cornered Twilight and Spike to a tree. So, Gohan acted quickly and smashed the crocodile in two. "Oh my! Gohan, you didn't need to be-" "He was going to kill them. No amount of your stare would prevent that in this kind of forest." Gohan interrupted Fluttershy. "Gohan, thank Celestia we found you. We need to find the Tree of Harmony!" Twilight said. "Tree of- Wait, What? Does it happen to emit a weak ki signature right in that direction?" Gohan asked, pointing in a direction. "Maybe?" Twilight asked. "Alright, I'll slow down for you guys. Let me handle the vines." Gohan said. "M-Maybe we should leave Twilight back in Ponyville." Applejack said. "Why?" Gohan and Twilight asked. "Well, we already lost two princesses! Even if we find the Tree of Harmony, it may not bring Princess Celestia and Luna back." Applejack said. "She does have a fair point. We cannot risk losing a third princess to this unknown foe." Rarity said. "But I'm the only one who knows about the Tree of Harmony, and what it looks like!" Twilight said. "Big giant tree being attacked by hideous monsters? Yeah, I think we can find it." Rainbow Dash said. "Y-You all feel this way...?" Twilight asked. Everyone else nodded. "I don't really care." Gohan said. "Listen, I know it seems dangerous, but I have to come with you!" Twilight said. "No, Twilight. We need to do this ourselves!" Applejack said. "If you... If you all think so..." Twilight said. Gohan sighed. "Go home if you want to. I'm respecting the majority at this point." He said. "I guess..." Twilight said, trotting away with Spike. The six made way for the Tree of Harmony. *** "Alright, I sense something in there." Gohan said, pointing at a cave from a cliff. "How will we get there? It's ridden with vines!" Applejack said. "Already on it. Kamehameha!" Gohan yelled, firing the Kamehameha. It successfully destroyed the vines. "And how will we get down?" Applejack asked. Pinkie Pie fell down the stairs to the bottom of the cliff. "Take the stairs, silly!" Pinkie Pie yelled. *** "Oh my goodness, that tree is being killed!" Gohan yelled. "Let's save it already!" Applejack said, trying to pull the vine out, but failing. Rainbow Dash attempted herself, and was knocked away by a sentient vine. Gohan went next, firing his Kamehameha wave. Surprisingly, it didn't work! "What!?" Gohan asked. "H-How are we going to save the Tree!?" Fluttershy asked. "Clearly my strength won't work." Gohan said. "Just go Super Saiyan!" Rainbow Dash said. "No, it definitely won't work. It just tanked a Kamehameha, and we need another source." Gohan said. "B-But... We sent Twilight home!" Fluttershy said. Gohan could sense Twilight and Spike nearby. Twilight was... She was dying! "SHE'S IN TROUBLE!" Gohan screamed, flying away at breakneck speeds. "So, do you STILL-" "ALRIGHT, FINE PINKIE! YOU WIN! HE'S FASTER!" Rainbow Dash interrupted. "Finally!" Pinkie Pie said. "Whoa... Never thought I'd hear that come from Rainbow Dash." Applejack said. "I've been asking her a bit." Pinkie Pie said. "You mean annoying me with it!" Rainbow Dash said. Then, Spike came falling down the stairs. "Guys! Twilight's in trouble!" Spike said. *** Twilight was being sprayed by black piranha plants. They were actually weakening her, too. They were just about to devour her until suddenly, a blast killed one. "Stay away from her!" Gohan yelled as he pummeled the piranha plants. He blasted and smashed them all! Then, the rest of the Mane 6 came to Twilight's aid. "Twilight! Are you alright!?" Rainbow Dash asked. "I'm fine, Rainbow." Twilight said, getting herself up. "We're so sorry we sent you home!" Fluttershy said. "We don't need our princess right now. We need our friend." Applejack said, and the Mane 6 all got into a group hug. *** Now they all were standing in front of the source of the problem. Twilight flew up to the tree's core, which was her Cutie mark, but a vine prevented her from going near it. Then, she figured it out. She flew back to her friends. "I know what we must do now. We must give the Tree of Harmony our Elements of Harmony." Twilight said. "Whoa, whoa, whoa, how are we supposed to defend Equestria!?" Rainbow Dash asked. "...Are you serious right now?" Gohan asked. "Oh, right. Sorry. Just... Just Nightmare Moon, got it." Rainbow Dash said. "But what if Gohan wasn't enough, and we needed the Elements of Harmony?" Rarity asked. "I know it seems difficult to part with the Elements of Harmony, but the future is nothing compared to what's happening right now!" Twilight said. "Even if I weren't enough, what makes you think the Elements of Harmony would be enough to stop everyone?" Gohan asked. "Twilight, the Elements of Harmony bring us together! They are what keep us connected." Applejack said. "You're right about one thing, Applejack. They do bring us together. But they don't connect us. It's our friendship! It's more important and more powerful than any magic! My new role in Equestria may mean I have to take on new responsibilities. And our friendships may be tested! But it will never, ever be broken." Twilight said. The rest of the Mane 6 nodded. "Everyone ready?" Twilight asked, flying up. "Ready!" They said. Twilight used her magic to take each Element of Harmony out of the necklaces and the crown. She was ready to use them. However, some vines disagreed with Twilight's plan, and ensnared her in the vines. Her friends gasped. Gohan turned Super Saiyan and flew up to the vines. He smashed them all. "Quick, I'll hold them off!" Gohan said, blasting away some vines. "Wait, didn't he say going Super Saiyan wasn't enough?" Rainbow Dash asked. "He was lying to us!" Applejack said, pointing a hoof at Gohan. "I'm sure it was for a good reason..." Fluttershy said. "Yes, to learn a lesson on friendship." Rarity said. Twilight used her magic to put the Elements of Harmony into each section of the Tree. The Tree lit up, destroying the vines entirely! Every single one vanished! Two huge bushes of vines were also destroyed, revealing the stolen princesses! Everyone's face lit up as they saw the princesses. Twilight ran at them, hugging them both. "We know how difficult it must have been to give up the Elements. It took great courage to relinquish them." Celestia said. The Tree of Harmony started to glow on a carved part of the tree, where Celestia and Luna's Cutie marks lay. The light traveled to a root, which transformed into a plant. Twilight touched the plant, which revealed a blue chest. "What's inside it? How am I supposed to open it?" Twilight asked. "Six locks, six keys." Luna said. "I do not know where they are. But I do know it is a mystery we will not be solving at this moment." Celestia said. *** The Mane 6, Spike and Gohan were walking back to Ponyville. They just returned from the Everfree Forest. Then, confetti blew everywhere. Discord. "Bravo girls and boys, bravo!" He said. He appeared in front of Rainbow Dash. "How did you save the day this time? With your magic necklaces I presume?" Discord asked. Then he appeared as a tiny cowboy on Applejack's back. "Where are those little things, anyway? You know, the one which could return me to my EXTREMELY uncomfortable stone prison?" Discord asked. Applejack sighed. "Gone." She said. Discord teleported off her back and went back to regular size. "Gone!? Gone?" He said with a smile. Fluttershy flew up to Discord. "Our friendship remains. And if you DO want to remain friends, you'll have to stop thinking what you're thinking and help us clean up!" She said. During that lecture, he shrinked in size before turning himself into a French maid. "Fine. But I don't do windows!" He said, walking away. "There's one thing I don't get, why is all this happening now?" Applejack said, as the 8 walked back to Ponyville. "I have no idea... Those seeds I planted should have sprouted ages ago!" Discord said, suddenly not dressed up. "What did you say!?" Twilight and Gohan asked. "Oh, why should I try to explain it when you can see for yourself?" Discord asked, making a potion Zecora made appear. So, Twilight sipped it, and the Flashback came back. Turns out that Discord planted and ate plunderseeds that should have taken the magic from the Tree of Harmony thousands of years ago. Twilight snapped out of her trance. "And we could have used this information HOURS AGO!?" Twilight asked. "And rob you of receiving a lesson as princess? What kind of friend do you think I am?" Discord said, pulling Twilight's cheek. *** Finally, the Summer Sun Celebration was happening! Horns blew. This time, the rest of the Mane 6 were visiting Canterlot. Gohan was in the back with the princesses. You know, because he's an ambassador? Anyway, Twilight even had a new crown. Celestia and Luna walked up to the stage. "Citizens of Equestria! It is no longer with a heavy heart, but with great joy that I raise the Summer Sun! For this celebration now represents not the defeat of Nightmare Moon, but the return of my sister, Princess Luna!" Celestia called. Everyone cheered and clapped. Princess Luna flew up in front of a giant fake moon representing her cutie mark and lowered the moon. Princess Celestia flew up in front of a giant fake sun representing her cutie mark and raised the sun. Twilight immediately flew up and created a magic spell that made the show all the more interesting. It was a shockwave with her cutie mark on it, separating the sun from the moon. The sun rose brighter than before. The three princesses landed on the ground. The first Summer Sun Celebration for Gohan was so memorable. Mostly because of the Everfree Forest. When it's put that way, it's memorable for everyone. But it was Gohan's first. Power LevelsThis will just get super confusing as we go on, so I just made these.

Terror on Imecka"You're all telling me, since I can teleport to other planets, that you want to travel to Planet Imecka?" Gohan asked. The Humane 7/ The Usual Cast were at the portal. Gohan was in the purple gi this time. Goten still had no sleeves but some wristbands. Giru was here, too. Fluttershy was holding him. "It has an oxygen source, inhabitants from the Rubble Space Telescope (Hubble), and we can't travel there without you!" Twilight said. "Giru! Current planet lacks resources for space travel! Giru!" Giru said. "I wanna go now!" Goten said. "Uh... Okay. So... Sorry, I should've studied astronomy. I know there's not a lot of planets revolving around the Sun, but which planet is it?" Gohan asked. "It's the second one." Twilight said. 'Going into space again... Excited!' Goku said. *** 'This place is boring!' Goku said. 'We just got here.' Gohan said. The group was in a wasteland of sorts with a town nearby. "Wow...! I can't believe I'm on another planet!" Twilight said. "What happened to that robot planet?" Pinkie asked. "Doesn't count, that was a ship!" Twilight said. "M-2 traveling planet! Giru!" Giru said. She started inspecting the soil. "This is just like Earth's! Ooh! Look! A salamander! It-" Twilight said, before being moved out of the way by Fluttershy. It was a red salamander. "Let me see! Aw... He's so adorable!" Fluttershy said. The salamander just blinked in response. "Species: Red salamander! Hostility: Varies! Giru!" Giru said. "He reminds me of Gummy!" Pinkie said. "Hey... There's some townsfolk around here!" Applejack said, pointing at the town. "Ooh! I wonder what species they are! Imeckians? Did they name this planet Imecka like we did?" Twilight asked before squealing. Sunset leaned into Gohan's ear. "I'm surprised you two aren't squealing together this time." Sunset said. "I've been on other planets before. Space travel is unfortunately not a new thing for me." Gohan said. "Let's go see what these Imeckians are!" Rainbow Dash said. *** Holy fuck, this place is crowded. Everyone pretty much looked like this with different colors for each one. https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/dragonball/images/0/07/Imeckian_Vendors_Spotting_the_Earthlings.png/revision/latest?cb=20120304174803 There's a lot of people selling stuff, jeez. "They seem to have an advanced society with civilization!" Twilight said. "I wonder why they're all crowded up in here. It's just as hot out there." Gohan said. "Why does the food look weird?" Goten asked. "Why are they all wearing such uncouth attire?" Rarity asked. "Poverty, maybe? But they don't seem to be poor..." Gohan said. "They have all sorts of jewelry, I suppose. The facets aren't too nice..." Rarity said. "Uh... Guys? I think there's a stampede coming at us." Sunset said. Uh... Yeah, that picture from before. "Giru! Giru! Danger! Run!" Giru warned. The people all just crowded around the group. Giving them all sorts of useless shit. They have really weird attire... Snake scarves, skulls for buckles, red dots on their face, giant moon earrings, wigs, etc. Rarity was freaking out because the attire sucked. "They look extraordinarily appealing, yes?" One merchant/haggler asked. "Absolutely!" Another haggler said. "You could mistake them for royalty!" Another said. 'Not even five minutes on this planet and people are willing to meet you.' Goku said. 'At least they're not trying to kill us...' Gohan said. "Most definitely!" Another said. "Some of my toe rings can add excitement to your feet!" Another said. "That's your opinion." Another said. "Uh... This is NOT cool." Rainbow Dash said. "We'll just charge it to your account!" One merchant said. They all pulled out calculators and showed them the prices. And there's a shit ton. "Outrageous! We don't even choose to buy, yet we're being forced to pay for nothing we wanted!? We don't even have the money!" Rarity said. "This is not normal!" Twilight said. "Who's the hack running this place!?" Rainbow Dash asked. At that moment, everyone recoiled in fear. "Don Kee!? Y-You cannot speak of him that way!" One said. "Well, why not!?" Rainbow Dash asked. "He could have you killed... Or make you pay taxes through the roof!" Another said. "Are... You guys living under a tyranny?" Gohan asked. It's really hard to take these guys seriously with the weird shit they have on. ... "Please excuse us... We really don't mean to force our goods on you." One said. "Lord Don Kee has us paying taxes so high that I lost my house!" Another said. 'So much for democracy or a federal republic... Or a democratically elected monarchy?' Gohan thought. 'I didn't get any of that.' Goku said. "This sounds a lot like a dictatorship..." Twilight said. "Then why don't you revolt against him?" Sunset asked, getting that weird shit off of her. Everyone else followed suit. "He has too powerful of an army... And there's three elite fighters that none of us can contend with!" One said. "Should we try to liberate these people?" Gohan asked. "We can't just leave them hanging! Let's do it!" Rainbow Dash said. "You hear that everyone!? We're gonna go over there and tell them to stop being meaniebutts!" Pinkie said. "But... Are you sure you can...?" One asked. "No problem! We have the artillery right here." Sunset said, patting both Gohan and Goten's backs. "You are all very brave children... But that Don Kee has a terrifying army." One said. "We wouldn't want to see you in a state of hurt." One said. 'First they trying scamming you and now they're sympathetic.' Goku said. 'I'm surprised you know those words.' Gohan said. "Please, don't worry. We can handle it." Gohan said. *** Well, Don Kee's place. Big castle. This is Don Kee. https://rei.animecharactersdatabase.com/uploads/chars/2855-2113852614.png Don Kee was in a bathrobe. In the same room with this red hooded man... "Your midday meal. If it pleases you, sire." A servant said, giving the food over to Don Kee. Pudding with other sweets around it. "Yes, its fine. My compliments to the chef." Don Kee said. "Your scouts have returned." The hooded man said. A smaller man and a taller woman appeared. https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/villains/images/e/e1/Sheila_%26_Gale.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20120722011319 "Yes? What is it, Gale?" Don Kee asked. Gale was the small guy. Sheela was the taller woman. "My lord, we have reports about a possible uprising." Gale said. "How many people?" Don Kee asked. "Nine. They aren't from around here, and they don't match with the planet. In layman's terms, they're ugly." Sheela said. Don Kee burst out in laughter. "Nine!? I doubt I'd even need Ledgic for this!" He said. "Alert all soldiers and increase defense protocol." He said. "Yes, my lord!" They both said. *** This castle was pretty nuts, but the group were able to sneak around the lights and soldiers. A few close calls because Pinkie wanted to sightsee, but Twilight managed to grab her and scold her. Like she actually listened, hah! They snuck through ventilation, roof beams, walls, everything. They were hiding in the main artillery base. Or the barracks. "I don't get why we don't just charge in and destroy the army." Goten whispered. "It's all part of a plan!" Twilight said. "What plan? We were supposed to beat him and save the place!" Rainbow Dash said. "If we destroy the military the planet won't have any defenses against any other worldly powers!" Twilight said. "We don't have to kill them, Twilight." Sunset said. "Maybe just knock them out!" Pinkie said very loudly. .... "Intruder alert! Sound the alarm!" "Pinkie!" Everyone yelled. "Giru! Incoming forces! Giru!" Giru said. "Well, now we're stealing the honey while alerting the hive!" Twilight said. 'Where's the honey? I want some!' Goku said. 'That was an expression! Also, Not the time!' Gohan said. This is what the soldiers looked like. https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/dbz-dokkanbattle/images/0/01/Imeckian_Soldier.png/revision/latest?cb=20160828151557 "Let's go! ~~LEROOOOOOOY JENKINS!~~" Rainbow Dash said. She ponied up and seemed to disappear in an instant. But a soldier soon found out that he belonged on the ground with a broken nose because of a punch. I made the sentence longer because this needs to be longer. Why didn't I just say she punched him? Whatever. Everyone else ponied up. "Sorry, Giru, just wait here a moment!" Fluttershy said, setting Giru down. Gunfire. One of them was sounding like the Heavy. "ZZZAZAZAZAZAZAZAZA BRRRRRRR!" Giru obviously cowered and hid. Applejack jumped over the line of gunfire and dropkicked one soldier. She grabbed the guns of two others and bent them backwards. To make no sense, they shot themselves. Rainbow Dash was rushing into a trio. Since Gohan recently taught them pressure points... And her amazing speed... She knocked everyone out with the pressure point on their necks. Twilight was just catching bullets with her magic and hurling them back. Ten soldiers fell over, but didn't die. Goten was taking out his enemies in style, as usual. It was like he was dancing. Gohan and Sunset were performing team combos. At her request, mind you. Sunset was the assist of sorts. She only threw or knocked opponents to Gohan while he quickly knocked them down. Occasionally, Gohan wanted to make her feel special by throwing one soldier in the air. "Sunset! Dust him!" He yells. Sunset aimed her palms at him and fired two orange blasts. Well, those were their combinations. Rarity was knocking everyone over with diamonds. Fluttershy was pretty much baiting all the soldiers to come into one spot by running and flying around. All part of Pinkie's plan to blow everyone up... But... "Giru assist!" Giru said, kind of splitting in half. It revealed a mechanism inside. A rocket launcher and a machine gun. "Fire!" Giru said, firing a rocket at the bunch of soldiers. They all screamed and yelled as they blew up. Much to everyone's surprise. "Giru is weapon too!" Giru said. "Awesome!" Rainbow Dash said. Before a bullet narrowly missed her. She looked to the side to see more soldiers coming at her. "Let's go!" She yelled. ...But she wasn't able to attack. Giru was ramming those soldiers down. One remained! ...Then Giru ran out of ammo. "Oh no! Giru! Giru!" Giru said, quickly hiding again. Gohan blasted the remaining one unconscious. "That's one useful robot." He mentioned. "I'll have to materialize numerous bullets and another rocket for him! That's a war machine!" Twilight said. There were still more soldiers. Gale and Sheela were now on the scene... "What's going on?" Gale asked. "There's nine intruders with a robot! They're going through our forces like they're nothing!" A soldier yelled. Then a giant aircraft was ramming through all the soldiers. "What's the meaning of this!? Traitors!?" Sheela asked. As the windows of the door went down... And I mean went down as in the 2001 cars that used manual window shifting. So Pinkie was comedically straining. Oh, I forgot to mention that Pinkie was the one driving. "Unlicensed driver coming through! Hey! Friends ride for free!" Pinkie yelled. "I am not trusting you!" Twilight said. "Suit yourself!" Pinkie said before driving into everyone else. Gohan jumped on top of the machine. "Reckless driving is what my father did!" He said. 'Yeah! Eat my dust, Piccolo!' Goku said. Gale and Sheela put their palms together. "Joyride's over!" Gale yelled. The two of them unleashed a red blast at the aircraft. 'Just my luck.' Gohan thought. He aimed both his palms at the blast and fired a powerful blue blast. Instantly overpowering Gale and Sheela... They weren't hit, but the blast was heading towards the walls now. The same hooded man from before jumped down and kicked the blast away with little effort. It flew out the window and exploded in the sky. "...Saiyans..." He muttered. Gohan looked at him intently. 'He's the cavalry around here. I can see why they didn't revolt now.' He thought. Pinkie jumped out of the aircraft before it rammed into the final horde of soldiers. Gohan jumped off before it exploded from hitting the wall. "Alright! Victory!" Twilight said. "We're not done yet." Gohan said. He looked up to see that man gone. *** Don Kee was looking at all of this. "Hmm. What a beautiful happy ending. But for who!? Me?" He yelled at Gale and Sheela. The hooded man was on a chair, flipping a coin. "No, Great Don Kee is left looking like an idiot while his army is being destroyed! And all of this happens right under the noses of my most highly paid military experts! What a bunch of useless twits!" Don Kee yelled. The hooded man removed his hood. https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/topstrongest/images/b/bf/Ledgic_%2801%29.png/revision/latest?cb=20160406034000 "I resent that." He said. Don Kee instantly retracted his statement. "No! Not you, Ledgic! You're impeccable! It's these other twits I'm talking about!" Don Kee said. "We made a big mess out of this." Gale said. Don Kee pulled out his calculator and did some calculating. "Take a look at this number!" He yelled. It read '11497260.' "This is the damages I'm taking from your paychecks to and for the damage of one hovercraft! And that's not all!" He said. "Do you even know who these rebels are!?" He asked. "Yes Lord Don Kee, we have the whole thing on tape." Sheela said. "AND WE'RE HERE!" Pinkie yelled from behind the door. The double doors blew up to reveal the delinquents! I mean, heroes! Gale and Sheela ran away through teleportation. "Oh no...!" Don Kee said. "Ledgic, I demand that you put these kids' heads on a platter!" He ordered. "...What did I say about giving me orders...?" Ledgic asked, putting his hood back on. "D-I-I mean, can you please take care of our little problem for us...? Pretty please?" Don Kee asked. The group entered the room. "Alright, buttheads! Treat the planet's people nicely from now, and you won't be in a world of pain!" Rainbow Dash said triumphantly. "I will do as Don Kee said. But only for my own satisfaction." Ledgic said. That was right before he seemingly disappeared. He had insane speed! Suddenly, everyone felt a sharp pain in their stomachs. "W...W-What...!?" Twilight managed to say. Ledgic appeared back in his seat. Everyone collapsed. ... What the fuck? "D-Danger! Giru! Giru! Giru! Giru!" Giru kept repeating. "Yes... Y-Yes! You did it, Ledgic! Here, have all the money you want from here!" Don Kee said, throwing wads of cash at Ledgic. "It seems the Saiyans were no match. That was all I wanted to test." Ledgic said. ... "Heheheh..." "What was that?" Don Kee asked. The chuckling grew louder as Gohan got himself up. "I think you're wrong, sir." He said, ending his chuckle. He did have an uncharacteristic smirk on his face, though. "Impressive." Ledgic said, standing up from his seat. "And who might you be, little boy?" He asked. "I'm Son Gohan." Gohan said. "I'm surprised you managed to knock everyone out so quickly." He added. "Who are you?" He asked. Ledgic chuckled, removing his hood. "The name's Ledgic. And I must warn you, I'm far beyond what those two weakling were capable of." He said. "I don't think you'll find me so weak either." Gohan said. "Heh. What confidence. Prepare yourself." Ledgic said. The two stared each other down. Then they charged at each other, smashing their fists into each other's fist! Ledgic jumped back to aim his palm at Gohan. He fired numerous red blasts. That blew a hole in the castle... And hey, look! Gohan was blasted away! Ledgic appeared behind him to kick him down! But... Gohan blocked it from behind with his arm! He grabbed his leg and hurled him at the throne room again! Ledgic fired another round of red blasts again! They all tracked towards Gohan! BOOM! Ledgic took the spikes from his clothing and turned them into swords. Gohan appeared behind him! Ledgic reacted instantly, and swung one sword around! Gohan narrowly dodged. Ledgic started to attempt stabbing Gohan with quick ones. Gohan dodged them all. "Of all the days I leave my sword at home!" He said. Eventually he caught both of the swords with his hands. He snapped them in half! Ledgic instantly reacted by kicking him in the gut because he's a tall guy. Gohan was rammed through a part of the castle... And hey, Ledgic appeared behind him to punch him back into the castle again. "Not my palace! Ledgic!" Don Kee whined. The group started to get back up. "Ugh... What just happened...?" Pinkie asked. Don Kee jumped back in fear. "Where's Gohan and that red guy?" Goten asked. "Look!" Sunset said, pointing at the orange moon. Ledgic was charging at Gohan with a spear! Gohan dodged the point, but was instantly struck down by the handle. He recovered and the two stared each other down. "You're really powerful! I'm surprised!" Gohan said. "Don't patronize me, I know you're holding back. As am I. Saiyan." Ledgic said. "Huh. You know my race..." Gohan said. "Your tail gave me the answer." Ledgic said. "Alright, then. No more fooling around." Gohan said. He started to make his yellow aura flare. "Massive energy product! Giru! Giru!" Giru said. "Wait... If Don Kee is right there, defenseless... Then..." Twilight said. "W-Wait! Wouldn't you want to see this fight end...?" Don Kee grasped. 'In my favor?' He thought. "Eh. Sure. Gohan's going to win anyway." Sunset said. Gohan turned into a Super Saiyan! "What!?" Ledgic asked. He instantly charged at Ledgic! "He's fast!" Ledgic muttered. He tried to block with his spear, but... Gohan smashed his fist into that and broke it! He put in the effort to punch into Ledgic's stomach! Ledgic dropped the broken pieces and grabbed the chained spikes. He tried stabbing them down on Gohan, but he smacked those two away! He kicked Ledgic upwards before using Instant Transmission to teleport behind him. He kicked him down and up and down and up and that went on. "Ledgic! Oh no!" Don Kee said. "What did I tell you?" Sunset asked. Gohan was just pummeling the crap out of Ledgic now. Ledgic tried to punch him, but Gohan flew over him and performed an axe kick on Ledgic, sending his flying at the throne room again. Ledgic stopped in mid air, at least, charging up his red blast in one palm. "Kamehame..." Gohan yelled, charging the blast in his palms. Ledgic screamed as he fired his tremendous red blast at Gohan. "HA!" Gohan yelled as he fired the devastating beam at Ledgic. That instantly overpowered Ledgic... BOOM! Ledgic was knocked into the palace once more. "Get up, Ledgic!" Don Kee yelled. Gohan landed in the palace. "Oh. So you're up." He said. "What...? I thought I..." Ledgic muttered. "You were really impressive. If you practiced a little more, you would've probably won. Maybe we can have another casual fight someday to test our progresses." Gohan said. Ledgic smiled. "You are an unusual child... No, you all are unusual children. Very strong indeed." He said. "Thanks for the compliments." Gohan said, powering down. Ledgic tried getting himself up, but recoiled in pain. "Are you alright?" Sunset asked. "I could heal you if you'd like." She added. "I'll be fine, thank you." Ledgic said, standing up. Don Kee was flabbergasted. "He won't!" Rainbow Dash said, pointing at Don Kee. Don Kee was struck full o fear. He grabbed armfuls of cash and dropped them by Ledgic. "Ledgic, I've been saving this for you! Finish them and it'll all be yours!" Don Kee said. "Didn't your mother tell you...?" Ledgic asked. Right before he kicked the fuck out of Don Kee! Right at the wall! "Money isn't everything." Ledgic said, walking away. "Mark my words. Next time, I will be victorious." He said to Gohan. "I'll be waiting." Gohan said with a smile. Ledgic flew away. Now the group focused their attention to Don Kee... Seeing he has no other option, he had a secret final weapon that could be used to get out of anything! Beg and plead! He got on his knees and bowed his head numerous times. "Please! Don't hurt me, I was wrong! If you spare me, I'll do anything you say!" He begged. "Heh. How do we all know y'all are tellin' the truth?" Applejack asked with a smirk. "I swear! I'll do anything!" Don Kee begged. "Then let's start with stopping rent charges!" Rainbow Dash said. "No, extremely cut rent charges!" Gohan said. "What? Why?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Taxes are imperative for government, Rainbow Dash." Twilight said. "Not a lot, but some." Gohan said. "At least give them free housing for a few months!" Pinkie said. "Free... Housing?" Don Kee asked. "Set your tax rate to 7%, not 70%." Gohan said. "T-That's impossible!" Don Kee said. "Guess the deal's off." Sunset said. "Gohan?" She asked. Gohan turned Super Saiyan. "I wonder how strong you are!" He said. He really knew it was pitiful. "O-Okay! I'll do it! I'll lower taxes tremendously!" Don Kee said. "I'll give the residents six months of free rent! The rent will only be a hundred a month! I'll even have the contracts to prove it!" He said. *** "I wonder how the youth are handling Don Kee..." A woman said. "Hopefully not hurt." The husband said. That being said... A giant crate was being carried by the group. Giru slacking off, obviously. The townsfolk moved away from the landing site for the crate, because that thing was as tall as a building. The crate opened. "Hey everyone! Here's a party present from Don Kee!" Pinkie said. "These are your rental contracts! For six months, you will have no rent, and after that, the rent will only be a hundred a month!" Twilight said. "Income tax is also only 7% now, so you can actually sustain your households!" Gohan said. "T-This is a dream come true...!" One said. "We must reward them for their hard work!" Another said. "Oh boy." Gohan said. "We'll give you a tour! Food and jewelry!" They all hollered. "Well... I guess this is somewhat of a happy ending...?" Sunset said. "I just wonder how they'll pamper us." Gohan said. "Will they charge us for that?" Goten asked. The group laughed. *** Next chapter little sneak peek... "I'm bored. I'm in the mood for a fight..." Author's Note Holy shit! I posted in less than a week! Anyway, next chapter will be out in five weeks! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Okay, but seriously I'm trying for a week or less. Battle Between a God and a Mortal Pt. 1In a far away place in the universe... The Land of the Kais. The Supreme Kai, Kibito and Old Kai were standing up at this moment because... Something awful happened. Something they hoped would never happen again. "Have you sensed it too, you two?" Old Kai asked. "Yes." The Supreme Kai said. "He's certainly waking up early this time, isn't he?" Kibito asked. "I should've known... It never ends. Well, so long for our long lasting peace." Old Kai said. "The dust has barely settled since those worlds were made anew." The Supreme Kai said. "I assume the lower Kais know this, but I wouldn't take any chances. Perhaps we should let them know." Old Kai said. "Yes, I'll tell them now." The Supreme Kai said. "Should we inform Son Gohan?" Kibito asked. "Probably not. I know he has a better head than his bumbling father, but it's probably best he doesn't know this." Old Kai said. "I wonder how many planets will fall rampage to him this time..." Supreme Kai said. "Beerus the Destroyer awake already... I can't believe it. A few quick decades of calm... Well, not entirely calm. Especially with that mass murderer running around." Old Kai said. "I hope he won't meet Son Gohan... But Gohan can prevent fights... I believe." Kibito said. "Yes." The other two said. *** In another place in the universe... A place... More like a weird planet. https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRxT_cA-uzdUulFpmnmNNqTwh8t1KMGGeMMnyd6Sp6s2taPEdy_S6RtjWuf The lower part has a shape similar to a square pyramid flipped upside-down, and the top is made of a giant thick dead tree with a number of buildings on it. Several buildings of the temple are located on the giant tree. The top is the castle of Beerus, the Destroyer. And a hole was blew in it. His attendant, Whis, was walking up many stairs to Beerus. Beerus's bedroom was a place full of floating hourglasses. That was the explosive. "Lord Beerus, it's time to get up. Don't fall back asleep. Recall that it was you who set the alarm. It would be a shame to see you wake up to one of your backup alarms." Whis said. Then that backup alarm blew up. And another. "...Fine, Whis... I'm up." Beerus said. Whis took a deep breath. "I just don't want you sleeping another fifteen years too late and end up groggy like the last time. But, if you want some more coddling..." He said, clearing his threat and pulling a microphone out of nowhere. "I can always sing a song to wake you up." Whis said. "In that case... I know, I know! I only slept 42 years this time, so it only counts as a nap." Beerus said, getting up. "You're the one who decides the time you wake up, Lord Beerus. Anyways, why at this time? There's something concerning me." Whis said. "I'll explain later." Beerus said. *** Beerus was having a feast in his dining room. Surrounded by an aquarium. "By the way, Whis, did that upstart Frieza blow up Planet Vegeta like I asked...?" Beerus asked. "Yes. Without a trace left." Whis said. "Ah... Good to hear it. Those people on that planet were useless. King Vegeta was the worst. I would've loved to blow up the planet myself, but I was already beaten to it, don't you agree? I'd rather use the time for a nap." Beerus said. "That being said, I'm no fan of Frieza's either. If we cross paths again, I'll be glad to wipe that insubordinate out." He said, eating some meat. "That's impossible, I'm afraid. During your nap, someone has already killed him." Whis said. Beerus spit out his food. "What!?" He asked. "Twice, in fact. He was resurrected once only to fail again." Whis said. "You mean there are two people more powerful than Frieza!?" Beerus asked. "Allow me to explain." Whis said, pulling out his staff out of nowhere. He tapped it in the ground to create a projection. The scene was Goku finally turning into the legendary Super Saiyan. "Huh... This seems familiar. Who's that man in orange and blue...?" Beerus asked. "He is a Saiyan. He answers to both the name Kakarot and Goku." Whis said. "When you said Planet Vegeta was no more, I assumed you meant the same for the Saiyans." Beerus said. "Yes, most of them did perish. However, a few happened to be on other worlds at the time it was destroyed. Including, the currently deceased king's heir, Vegeta." Whis said. "Isn't Saiyan hair supposed to be black? I'm surprised that a Saiyan could be even capable of defeating Frieza." Beerus said. "The Saiyans have harnessed a potent technique that increases their battle power many times fold. It's called a Super Saiyan." Whis said. "A Super Saiyan...? Wait a second... Super Saiyan... That's it! That's exactly what it was!" Beerus said. "What what was, my lord?" Whis asked. "Let's see... It was Super Saiyan something... Uh... Super Saiyan God!" Beerus said. "Yes! I had a dream about it! A vivid dream that I was fighting a Super Saiyan God that looks just like him!" Beerus said. "Huh. I'm afraid that's also impossible. He is currently dead as well." Whis said. "What!?" Beerus asked. "However... His offspring seems to be alive and well." Whis said, changing the scene to Gohan's battle with Frieza. "Heh. The Saiyans look even more like monkeys now." Beerus said. "And... Wait... Is this one a Super Saiyan as well?" He asked. "Yes. A variation of the form known as Super Saiyan 4." Whis said. "Hm... I didn't think Saiyans could evolve so massively." Beerus said. "There are only three remaining in the universe." Whis said. "I know when I see a Super Saiyan God. Or, what I felt in my dream, at least." Beerus said. "That's right... The Oracle Fish prophesised that you would fight an arch rival..." Whis said. "It would be insane to think you would have an arch rival, Lord Beerus." He said. "Even if the Oracle Fish exaggerated the strength of my new foe, it's exciting to think someone as strong as the Super Saiyan God in my dream could actually exist. Whis, where is the offspring of the one called Goku...?" Beerus asked. "He has two sons. Son Gohan and Son Goten. Son Gohan was the one who killed Frieza for a second time. They currently reside on Planet Equestria..." Whis said. "That's a planet I remember vividly. Princess Celestia just banished her sister to the moon because I said so! After screwing with her sister's mind. It's very close by, if I remember clearly." Beerus said. "I want to depart immediately for Equestria!" He demanded. "Alright, then." Whis said. A nightmare has begun. Author's Note I have some bad news. On the 20th, I am truly fucked on trying to write this story because I'm going to be busy as hell. Please bear with me even though I've been barely posting recently. I hope I can get one more chapter in before I send this into hiatus mode. Battle Between a God and a Mortal Pt. 12Back at the castle... Most of the guests had left. The party was not only ruined, but it was dangerous to stay there. Our main cast were still there. Shining Armor, Celestia and Luna were trying to get Goku back on his feet. With ~~KiPR~~ magic. They tried numerous spells to wake him up. Flurry Heart was on Shining Armor's back, sucking her hoof. She was sound asleep.... The Crusaders were crying, and everyone else was trying to help them cope. Except Pinkie. Pinkie was just sitting in the corner with her Mane flattened, because she genuinely felt bad for all of this. 'It's all my fault...' She thought. "Come on...!" Shining Armor said, performing another spell. It was electric. ZAP! And... Goku jolted awake, sitting up in an instant. "Gohan! Goten? Chi Chi?" He asked, looking around. "Wait a second... You're not- Oh." He said. "Oh, thank goodness you're awake." Celestia said. "It took a lot of spells, because your body is really stubborn..." Shining Armor said. "Oh... Really? Wait, where are my sons?" Goku asked, looking around. "Gohan's off fighting Lord Beerus, and... uh..." Celestia said, trying to find the right words. Goku wasn't listening. "I can sense Gohan in that direction... I also feel somewhat of Goten... In the exact same place? Huh?" Goku asked. "What are you talking about?" Luna asked. "Sorry, but I've never felt Gohan like this before. I need to see what's happening." Goku said, standing up. "Wait, you just got up! Aren't you exhausted?" Shining Armor asked. "Uh... Not really." Goku said. ... "...Bye!" He said, flying off. "...Did we use a regeneration spell?" Shining Armor asked. "Possibly." Luna said. *** "What the heck... The other pudding spoiled brat?" Beerus asked. Gohan's aura was huge, but that mirage of Goten was just a little smaller. That mirage soon disappeared, and Gohan's aura turned back to normal. "What happened to Gohan now?" Twilight asked. "It looks awesome!" Rainbow Dash said. Beerus retaliated with his own aura. You could just hear the Hero - FLOW song. 時に- I'm not going to write the song for you. Our two warriors charged at each other, with Beerus screaming his head off. He had his purple aura while Gohan had his yellow sparkly aura... They both parried a punch before flying off course. But they charged back at each other clashing a kick this time. And they charged back at each other again, only for Beerus to block Gohan's punch. Beerus retaliated by throwing his own punch, but Gohan actually teleported beneath it. He punched Beerus in the stomach! A direct hit! Beerus was sent flying away. At an angle of which he left Neighagra Falls but also reached the clouds. Gohan instantly chased him, leaving nothing but a darting sound and winds behind him. Our two flew straight into the skies, ignoring the bystanding pegasi. They kept throwing punches and kicks, and only occasionally they hit the other person. So much parrying... Their auras clashed in the air as well. First Gohan finally managed to hit Beerus in the face, but then Beerus managed to hit Gohan in the face, then Gohan managed to punch Beerus in the stomach, and immediately afterwards Beerus punched Gohan in the stomach. This is happening in the midst of some barrage of punches. Gohan threw an extremely heavy punch at Beerus, getting him right in the face! Beerus was sent flying past the clouds, spinning repeatedly. He almost hit a pegasus. Gohan teleported even above that to drop kick him straight down. Our two flew all over the clouds, punching, kicking, clashing, nearly knocking into the neighboring pegasi... There are so many holes in the clouds, holy fuck knuckles. I am high as a kite. *** Meanwhile... Our three main ponies... "They're moving so fast! Can any of you catch any of this?" Twilight asked. The other two shook their heads. "Nope, totally lost." Goku said, startling everyone. You know, with an "AH!" "When did you get here!?" Rainbow Dash asked. "When they started to fight." Goku said. *** Our fight was taken to the upper atmosphere, WAY above the clouds. You could see space. Shockwaves from the mere clashing of attacks could be seen from the lit surface. Our two separated for a quick moment, only for Beerus to smile lightly and lose his aura. Gohan charged at him again, and they started the clashing all over again. "If you like dishing out death, then FINE!" He screamed, punching Beerus in the face. "The human body is comprised of approximately 70% water!" He screamed, kicking Beerus away. "I am 100% death!" He screamed. His aura flared at it's brightest. The mirage of Goten in the exact same pose appeared once again. (bent over with bent knees while looking up.) Gohan cupped his hands together, a blue light appearing in between them. Mirage Goten did the same pose. "HAVE SOME!" He screamed. Beerus was about 100 feet away from Gohan at an upwards angle of 45 degrees. "Go on!" Beerus yelled, aiming his hands upwards. He formed his Sphere of Destruction, a sphere that resembled a yellow star. But it was much smaller, yet more destructive. It was a nice big ball. "Feel free!" He yelled, throwing the ball down at Gohan. "Kamehame... HRAAAAAAAAAAA!" Gohan screamed at the top of his lungs. The two attacks clashed, making for a mini sun with some blue lasers. But those two attacks were making ungodly winds, they could be felt from all over Equestria. *** "I think that's his Kamehameha!" Twilight said. She covered her eyes because it was hard to see. "No kidding!" Goku said, barely managing to see. *** Gohan put nearly everything he had into his blast. Both his and Beerus' blasts were just clashing there. "If you're just going to kill my brother, then FINE!" Gohan screamed. "I'll just do the same, FOR YOU!" He screamed. At that moment, flew into his own Kamehameha. "You know it's pointless to- Huh?" Beerus asked. Gohan was performing the Dragon Hammer! Well, Kamehameha then a Dragon Fist. He wound up with left arm. "SUPER DRAGON FIST! HRAAAAGH!" He screamed. In that moment, Goten's mirage disappeared. But in his place, a giant golden dragon emerged! It instantly destroyed Beerus' blast, exploding it to tiny ki droplets! It was headed straight for Beerus! Beerus seemed unprepared for the attack... He screamed right before the dragon came in contact, and...! BOOM! Yellow smoke and explosion! It was as if a solar flare occurred! On Equestria, it was just pure confusion. What the hell is that in the sky? The clouds are being moved and it sucks! Now the weather team has to put them back! Everyone was just confused. Back to our, well, fight. The explosion finally started to die down. We could see Gohan, who was no longer a Super Saiyan 4, but a mere Saiyan. He was panting, out of energy. He looked up to the smoke with a grin. The taste of vengeance... 'I did it for you, Goten...' He thought. ... "Was that really all?" Beerus asked from inside the smoke. Gohan looked in shock. "N-No... Way..." He said. Beerus just made the smoke clear all at once. "That was a pretty impressive attack. You had me get serious for a moment there." He said. "It... It can't..." Gohan said, in major disbelief. You know, kind of like how a bunch of people were when Trump was elected? "But that's enough. It's my turn." Beerus said. He created yet another Sphere of Destruction. "No...!" Gohan said. 'How...!? The dragon fist couldn't do it...!?' He thought. "Now, how about you have some death!?" Beerus yelled, throwing the massive, starlike ball at Gohan. "I... I have to stop that from hitting Equestria...!" Gohan yelled. He grunted angrily. "Damn it!" He yelled. The Sphere of Destruction was very close. Gohan mustered the little energy he had left to try and push it. He grunted in extreme pain, trying his hardest. He ended up going Super Saiyan, and his aura flared everywhere. It had no pattern. The scorching ball let off some residue, making it even harder. Alas, the ball pushed him back very slowly. Beerus aimed his finger at the sphere, and fired two more blasts into it. Now there was a bigger and stronger sphere. At this point, the scorching got so intense that Gohan's arms started bleeding. "I WON'T LET YOU!" He screamed. "Come, now. Stop fighting and rest in peace!" Beerus said. "SHUT UP!" Gohan screamed. The ball was really too much for him, that he gone slightly enveloped by it. "SHUT UP!" He screamed again, as if he were about to cry. Goten had to be avenged, and Equestria needed to be saved. Gohan desperately smashed his fist into the sphere in a fit of rage, actually managing to shake it. He screamed in utmost pain. The sphere was just too powerful! He started to think of a plan... But there was none. *** "What's happening!?" Rainbow Dash asked. "That's not good...!" Goku said. "What!?" Cadence asked. "Gohan's already exhausted too much energy! That blast is going to kill him!" Goku said. "Then what do we do!?" Twilight asked. Goku did the only thing he knew what to do. "I have to help my son." He said. He darted straight for Gohan! "Are you insane!?" The three asked. *** Gohan put all of his strength into pushing the ball back, but it was no use. His body was shutting down. Then.... He finally gave up. He took something reminiscent of a last breath. Gohan closed his eyes, and the sphere just started to take him. He reverted... It was pointless to fight... But... It made him think. He remembered all the good times his world had given him... The acceptance, happiness and forgiveness... His friends, both human and pony... Sunset... Goku... Goten... And... And... Gohan clenched his fists. It's as if someone just blasted him full of energy again. Gohan sprung back up into the ball! He was determined to stop it at all costs! He powered up into a Super Saiyan 2, screaming his head off. Voice cracks and everything! I think he needs throat surgery... Gohan powered up, and his aura... Had a hint of blue inside yellow? His pupils just disappeared, and then... With a flash of light... BOOM! That star attack is gone! It's remnants of plasma flew everywhere in space, and eventually disappeared. Beerus was shocked. Gohan was revealed to be back to his normal form. Panting, and no more energy. His gi was a little torn and dirty. He was falling towards Equestria. He had no more fight in him anymore. For real. No round 6 bullshit, he was done. No more. He did all he could. "Gohan!" Goku yelled. He was flying after his son. He caught Gohan before he combusted. "Oh no... I'm too late..." He said. Beerus flew down so that he was on Goku's level. "...How'd you do that...?" He asked. Gohan managed to open his eyes and looked to the side. "W...Wha...What?" He asked in between pants. "What was that power?" Beerus asked. "I... I don't... Know..." Gohan said in between pants. "Save your energy, my son." Goku said. "D-Dad..." Gohan said, looking up to his father. The look on his face meant that he accepted fate as well. "You don't know...? What a fascinating creature." Beerus said. He aimed his hand at Goku and Gohan, holding some destruction energy inside it. Goku and Gohan accepted their fates... Until... Beerus just stopped. "What the...? Why'd you stop?" Goku asked. "I just want to hear you say that you give up." Beerus said. Gohan looked over to Beerus with the tiny strength he had left. "I give up... I gave you all I had... In the end, there's no way for me to beat you." He said. "You're a god. I'm just a human. I don't compare." Gohan said. "Well, I'm glad you've finally realized the terror that is Beerus the Destroyer. But I know strength when I see it, and yours is formidable. I've lived for much longer than you can comprehend, and in all my travels and fights, you're the strongest mortal I've ever met." Beerus said. Gohan made a weak chuckle. "Thanks, Lord Beerus." He said. "I'm so proud of you." Goku said. "Thanks, dad..." Gohan said. "...But you're only the second strongest warrior I've faced." Beerus said. "Huh? Well, that's to be expected..." Gohan said. "Who's the first?" Goku asked. "Where is he..." Beerus said to himself, looking around. And Whis just happened to be there. "Hello!" He said. "See my attendant, Whis, over there?" Beerus asked. "Yeah..." Our Saiyans said. "While it's true that he waits on me hand and foot, he's also my teacher." Beerus said. "Seriously? Does that not mean you're the strongest in the universe...?" Goku asked. "It depends on which reality you're referring to. I'm the Destroyer of this universe. The seventh. But there are others, too. Twelve universes altogether. And some have spawned warriors even mightier than us." Beerus said. Gohan couldn't help but weakly chuckle. Despite being told he's weak. Beerus finally aimed his hand at them once more, ready to finish this. "Wait, Lord Beerus." Goku said. "What is it now." Beerus said. "We want to say goodbye to everyone... Before we die." Goku said. "...Please. It's our last request to be together." He pleaded. ... "...All right, fine. Only because your son put up an amazing fight." Beerus said. "Thanks, Lord Beerus." Goku said. *** The castle... The Crusaders finally stopped crying, but Pinkie was still all sad. Our three spectators came back to the castle. They landed. "Twilight, Cadence, Rainbow Dash..." Celestia said. Shining Armor and Cadence hugged. Cadence took the baby with her magic. "Did you manage to see the fight?" Luna asked. "Some parts... They moved too fast for us." Twilight said. "Where is Son Goku?" Luna asked. "I think he's up there with- Oh. There he is." Rainbow Dash said, pointing a hoof. Beerus, Whis, and Goku holding Gohan were coming down. "...It seems Gohan has finally accepted defeat..." Celestia said. "Huh... Didn't think it would go out like this." Shining Armor said. Our four landed... "It isn't often that I give a last request, but he put up an astounding fight, so I'll allow your goodbyes." Beerus said. "Thanks, Lord Beerus." Goku said. Celestia and Luna looked at each other, as if to say, "When does that ever happen?" The other ponies all rushed outside. "Are you alright?" Fluttershy asked Gohan. "I'm fine... Don't worry about me." Gohan said. Gohan tried to get up from Goku's arms, but he was too weak. "It's okay, Gohan. You don't have to hurt yourself anymore." Goku said. Pinkie came closest to Gohan. "Gohan... I'm sorry..." She said. A tear came to her eye. "It...Its okay..." Gohan said. Pinkie couldn't understand that, but yelling before they all died isn't a good idea. "I'm sorry I couldn't win... I gave it all I had..." Gohan said. "We can't be angry at y'all..." Applejack said. ... "Are you done?" Beerus asked. "I suppose so..." Celestia said. Beerus aimed his hand at Gohan. Destruction formed in his palm. Everyone got together for a group hug. Well, with Goku and Gohan at the center. "Goodbye, everyone..." Gohan said. Beerus was about to end it all. But, suddenly... "Ugh... Urgh..." He grunted. "Is something wrong, my lord?" Whis asked. Suddenly, Beerus started screaming as if someone was stabbing him. Everyone was just shocked and confused. Then... Beerus just vanished. "Er..." Whis responded... Then he suddenly turned to stone. Now everyone was just confused as to what just happened. And then he just vanished. What just happened...? *** In the Land of the Kais... Everyone was dead. By that, I mean every Kai there had slash marks on their chests. They died. A shadowy figure stood beside their corpses. The Kais all vanished, since that's what happens when they die. The figure just laughed, looking into the crystal ball. "Beerus the Destroyer... Pah! Couldn't even realize what was happening under his nose." The shadowy figure looked to the skies. "My next stop... Equestria..." Author's Note Holy shit, I actually posted quickly for once! Bet you didn't expect this, huh? On a side note, Beerus is dead. Who killed him? Only I know. Let's do some power leveling since I'm a douchebag. Quake of Fury SSJ4 Gohan - 500,000,000,000,000,000,000 Too long for your phone to read? Don't worry, they're only going to get much worse. The next chapter is...!? ...Not featuring the murderer in this chapter. No. One more story before that. Final note: We hit 100 likes! I expected this story to just be as bad as my last one. (DO NOT GO NEAR IT. YOU WILL GET CANCER. DON'T EVEN GO NEAR IT WITH A TEN FOOT POLE. IT CAN GIVE YOU CANCER JUST BY LOOKING AT IT, SO STAY AWAY.) Okay, before the next chapter, I have to finish editing, so expect a little wait.
Gohan In Ponyville, and vs Nightmare Moon (Edited Heavily)Twilight Sparkle had just arrived in Ponyville. She was a unicorn raised in Canterlot. She met a lot of ponies, five of whom followed her back to her new home. They had just seen Nightmare Moon before she vanished into the Everfree Forest. An explosion could be heard. A white flash of light could be seen at the center of Ponyville. "What was that!?" Twilight asked, quickly rushing outside her treehouse library. The baby dragon, Spike and the five other ponies quickly followed. Many ponies gathered around this new creature. It had a hole in its stomach. The new creature was Gohan. "What is that... That looks awful!" One pony said. "Get it away from my little filly!" Another pony said, shielding her filly's eyes. "It looks hurt!" A certain yellow pegasus said. It was Fluttershy, caretaker of animals. She approached the unconscious Gohan. "You probably shouldn't get near that thing, Fluttershy." An orange earth pony said. It was Applejack. "Yes, it could be hostile!" A white unicorn said. It was Rarity, the seamstress. "This... This is a new species..." Twilight said. It was Twilight Sparkle, the magic prodigy. Then, Gohan opened his eyes. Then he closed them, and instantly groaned in pain. He held his stomach. Everyone stepped back. Everyone except for Fluttershy, that is. "Ow... W-Who's there?" Gohan asked, slightly opening his eyes again. He sat up as well. Everyone was surprised that this thing just talked. "Horses?..." Gohan asked. "We are ponies, for your information!" Twilight scolded. "O-Oh... Excuse me... I'm so sorry." Gohan said, cowering and tearing up. That voice just reminded him of his mother. The painful memory of her disowning him... "Are you alright?" Fluttershy asked. "N-No... I have a hole... In my stomach." Gohan said, lifting his hand to show the blood. 'And obviously something else...' He thought. "That thing is a monster!" A pony yelled. "W-Wha?... Shenron... You didn't..." Gohan said before tears rolled down his face. The rest of the memories came back. "You monster!" "No!" Fluttershy said, breaking that thought. "It's hurt, helpless and needs us!" She said. Gohan looked to Fluttershy quizzically. "Fluttershy's right... It needs help." A cyan pegasus flying overhead said. It was Rainbow Dash, the fastest flyer in Equestria. Then, Gohan had a little hope. Shenron may have done it. "That thing looks disgusting!" Another pony yelled. The memories came back... "Stop!" Twilight yelled. "Tell us your name, uh... What are you?" She asked. "I-I'm Gohan... A half human, half Saiyan." Gohan said. "There's only one way that thing's getting in the hospital! Get it to talk Nightmare Moon down!" A pony said. "What!? Don't do that to the poor thing!" Fluttershy said. "Nightmare... Moon?" Gohan asked. "I'm not surprised... Nightmare Moon ponynapped Princess Celestia, the ruler of Equestria. We need to defeat her somehow..." Twilight said, "...I'll do it..." Gohan said, standing up. This exposed the hole in his stomach, as well as his armor. Everyone was surprised at his height. "B-But you're hurt, Gohan!" Twilight said. "If you guys will help me-" Gohan said before he coughed blood into his arm. Fluttershy gasped. Rarity retched. "Excuse me... If you will help me if I help you, I have to do it..." Gohan said. "You couldn't even harm Nightmare Moon even if you tried!" Twilight said. "Harm? So I must fight?" Gohan asked. 'But I don't LIKE to fight...' He thought to himself. "Yeah, you wouldn't be able to do anything if you tried!" Twilight said. Despite Gohan's dislike for battle, his Saiyan instincts excited him, despite his wound. "I'll battle this Nightmare Moon." Gohan said with a serious face. "Don't! You'll die!" Fluttershy said. Gohan flew up a little. "I sense a huge power level over that way. I will return... Please help me then." He said. "Uh... Alright?" Twilight said. "Thank you so much!" Gohan said with glee before slowly flying away. "How did that thing fly?" Rainbow Dash asked. "What's a Saiyan? Or a human? OOH! Can we call it a Saiyaman!?" Pinkie Pie asked. "Calm down, Pinkie. We have to save it before it dies!" Twilight said. "Let's follow that thing!" Applejack asked. "Alright!" Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Twilight, Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie said. The Mane 6 ran towards the Everfree Forest. Gohan flew over the entire forest in moments, and found an ancient, ruined castle. He quickly entered the castle. Gohan immediately saw 5 stones. He paid no attention to them. Gohan walked for a bit, but stopped in his tracks. His vision began to blur. "Oh no..." He said. The wound Piccolo left him... In both his heart and his stomach was starting to affect his consciousness. Gohan fell over. After this, he sat up, holding his stomach. It hurt, oh did it hurt. Gohan would kill Nightmare Moon if it meant easing the pain. He was desperate at this point. Living like a fugitive on the run, he wanted a way out. But it could never ease the pain.... Not forever. Gohan decided to rest up, he needed to gather his energy for his new foe. He took his sweet time. "Concentrate... You can muster the strength to fight Nightmare Moon." He said to himself. The Mane 6 were going through the challenges of the Everfree Forest. They showed the magic of friendship in order to overcome them. After Rainbow Dash rebuilt a bridge for her friends to pass, they were at the entrance of a castle belonging to the royal sisters. "Here it is." Twilight said, opening the door. The Mane Six saw Gohan sitting down. "Gohan?" Twilight asked. Gohan quickly looked over his shoulder. "Oh... Hello..." He said. "Did you face Nightmare Moon?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Not yet... I'm about to go." Gohan said, standing up. "Oh no! You shouldn't be fighting with that wound, you poor thing." Fluttershy said, inspecting Gohan's wound. She made sure not to touch it. "If I defeat Nightmare Moon, I can get myself healed up! Don't worry..." Gohan said with a weak smile. "But you won't beat Nightmare Moon!" Twilight said. "H-How so?" Gohan asked. "She's as strong as Princess Celestia!" Twilight said. "I-I'm sorry, I'm afraid don't know who this 'Celestia' is..." Gohan said. "I understand she's a ruler, but I don't know her." He said. "She's the strongest!" Twilight said. "But, I have more strength... More than you... You think." Gohan said, catching his breath. "You leave her to us, Gohan!" Rainbow Dash said. The two pegasi carefully set the 5 stones down to the ground. Twilight took the 5 stones. They were what made the Elements of Harmony. However, in that moment... Twilight was teleported to face Nightmare Moon somewhere else. "What?" Applejack asked. Gohan could sense Nightmare Moon and Twilight in a tower. "Follow me!" Gohan said, flying to their location. Nightmare Moon had already shattered the five stones. "No!" Twilight said. "It is futile! Surrender now!" Nightmare Moon said. Gohan and the others rushed in. "Nightmare Moon!" Gohan yelled, pointing at Nightmare Moon. "Prepare yourself!" He said. "What is this? A mere child is challenging me? Don't make me laugh." Nightmare Moon said. Gohan landed and walked closer to Nightmare Moon. "Test me." He said, with a serious face. "Thou challenges me? Thou shall die!" Nightmare Moon yelled, shooting a powerful blast of magic from her horn. "No! Get out of there, Gohan!" Twilight yelled. Gohan held one hand up to shield the powerful blast. Smoke was everywhere. Gohan couldn't be seen inside of it. "The child is dead. Such bravery, might I add." Nightmare Moon said. "Dead? I'm not one to die." Gohan said, powering up to clear the smoke. "W-What is this!? T-Thou isn't... Dead!?" Nightmare Moon asked, horrified at her futile attempt. "What in tarnation!?" Applejack asked. "How about I blast you!?" Gohan asked, placing one hand in front of the other. He raised them over his head and a yellow energy ball charged in front of them. "W-What the... Magic!?" Twilight asked. "Impossible!" Nightmare Moon said. "Masenko.... HA!" Gohan yelled, shooting a powerful blast at Nightmare Moon. Nightmare Moon hadn't bothered to block. She believed the blast would do nothing. She took it on with the most evil of grins, and... She was hit right in the face! She was knocked back a little, surprisingly. That shocked the ponies even more. Nightmare Moon took damage. From no other than a Saiyan! "How can a mere child... Damage such a deity as me!? Impossible!" She yelled. The Mane 6 looked in disbelief. This random creature seemingly used magic to actually damage Nightmare Moon, in an injured state! Nightmare Moon shot another blast at Gohan, which he kicked away. "Please, I don't want to hurt you anymore!" Gohan said. "You demand that I surrender? Don't make me laugh! You're at your breaking point!" Nightmare Moon said. She could see that wound. And she attacked! She started with four magic blasts. Gohan sidestepped to dodge one, and jumped over another. He swatted another away and tanked one more right in the chest. Gohan stood on the ground again. He seemed unfazed. "Let's go!" He yelled, dashing forward. Each step was combined with pain. He threw a punch at Nightmare Moon with tears in his eyes. They were from physical pain. Nightmare Moon's head was hit to the side, but she responded with a blast of magic. Gohan barely dodged and performed a roundhouse kick. Nightmare Moon managed to maneuver under that and smashed her horn into his stomach. Gohan coughed blood as she blasted him away. He rolled on the ground for a few seconds before eventually stopping. "I said it was futile to challenge me!" Nightmare Moon called. Gohan managed to get himself up. "Gohan, don't!" Fluttershy pleaded. "Stay back! I'm going to win!" Gohan yelled, jumping at Nightmare Moon. He seemed really resilient... "What a brave creature..." Rarity said. Nonetheless, Gohan couldn't keep up the 'unbreakble' act for much longer. His wound was making it harder as time passed. The two started clashing more and more. "How in tarnation is Gohan standing up to that Nightmare Moon!?" Applejack exclaimed. "I don't understand... An injured creature is actually going toe to toe with Nightmare Moon!" Twilight said. "He doesn't seem like he can last long." Rainbow Dash said. "Then we need to utilize the time!" Twilight said, looking to the broken elements. "Hragh!" Gohan yelled as he kicked Nightmare Moon. He flew backwards for some distance, The combination of pain and fighting tired him. He was panting, getting as much air as possible. Nightmare Moon herself was damaged, but was clearly winning the war of attrition. She shot an evil grin. "I can almost hear your tiny little heart shrieking..." She said sinisterly. "Afraid to fail, afraid to die... Afraid to go back to such an excavated past..." She said. "Be quiet!" Gohan yelled, running at Nightmare Moon. He hadn't even questioned how she knew that. But, that was the reaction she was hoping for with her bluff. Gohan fell into Nightmare Moon's trap. Nightmare Moon used her magic to ensnare him! "What!?" Gohan asked, struggling to move. Nightmare Moon cackled. "You thought you could defeat me!? Child!? Don't be serious." She said. "Now, make a choice! Join me, or die." Nightmare Moon said. "Never! I won't side with evil...!" Gohan yelled. "Your choice, child!" Nightmare Moon yelled. She slowly started to tear at Gohan's wound with her magic. Gohan screamed in pain. The wound very, very slowly widened for maximum pain. Even more screaming combined with tears came from that. Nightmare Moon relished in it. Blood started to seep out... In that moment, Twilight figured it out. "Girls, I figured it out!" Twilight said. "Then get on with it!" Rainbow Dash said. "Nightmare Moon!" Twilight yelled. Nightmare Moon paid no attention to Twilight, she was too busy torturing Gohan. Gohan felt totally helpless. Nightmare Moon got to his head... And now he was at her mercy. But... He had to fight, he just had to! 'Fight or die... Fight or die!' He thought. "I WON'T LOSE!" He yelled. He screamed with a burst of strength! An intense yellow aura appeared! "The spirits of the Elements of Harmony live on, even though their broken!" Twilight said. "They're right here!" She added. Gohan's hair and eyebrows turned yellow, and his irises turned blue. Nightmare Moon was losing her grip... Gohan's aura grew bigger, and shattered the magic! Nightmare Moon recoiled in shock. "W-What!? You were holding back!?" She asked. Gohan floated in the air, in front of Nightmare Moon. He was panting, as his form couldn't last long, but if he didn't do much, he could defeat her. "I am a Super Saiyan!" Gohan yelled. The 5 shattered stones began to float around the Mane 6. "Applejack, who reassured me while I doubted her, represents the spirit of Honesty!" Twilight yelled. The stone representing honesty floated around Applejack. Gohan caught on to what Twilight was doing, and didn't attack. "They will end this!" He yelled. "T-The stones are shattered! Impossible! Two problems, this is terrible!" Nightmare Moon yelled. "Fluttershy, who tamed the Manticore with compassion, represents the spirit of Kindness!" Twilight yelled. The stone representing kindness floated around Fluttershy. "Pinkie Pie, who banished fear by giggling in the face of danger, represents the spirit of Laughter!" Twilight yelled. The stone representing laughter floated around Pinkie Pie. "Rarity, who calmed the sorrowful serpent with a meaningful gift, represents the spirit of Generosity!" Twilight yelled. The stone representing generosity floated around Rarity. "And Rainbow Dash, who could not abandon her friends for her own heart's desire, represents the spirit of Loyalty!" Twilight yelled. The stone representing loyalty floated around Rainbow Dash. "The spirits of these ponies overcame the challenges you threw at us!" Twilight yelled. "There's no sixth element!" Nightmare Moon laughed. Gohan noticed the Elements of Harmony growing in power. He cupped his hands together at his side. "Ka..." He said. "It is here. It needed a different kind of spark. I realized that you girls are all, my friends!" Twilight yelled. "Me..." Gohan said, as a blue ball of energy appeared in between his hands. The sixth Element of Harmony appeared in the form of a stone. "Ha..." Gohan said. "The spark that resides in all of our hearts created the sixth element. The element of Magic!" Twilight yelled. The sixth element, magic shone a bright light. "Me..." Gohan said. The shattered stones floating around the five ponies all morphed into five necklaces with each representation of the Elements of Harmony. The sixth element morphed into a crown, representing magic. It fell on top of Twilight's head. A double rainbow blasted towards the sky, and flew back down towards Nightmare Moon. "HA!" Gohan yelled, unleashing the Kamehameha wave at Nightmare Moon. The blast had nearly every bit of his energy left in him. "NOOOO!" Nightmare Moon yelled as she was engulfed by both of the blasts. The only difference was, Gohan's blast blew a hole in the wall, and could be seen across the horizon.
Aftermath of Nightmare MoonThe resulting flash of light had the Mane 6 collapse to the ground. Gohan was exhausted. He couldn't remain to be a Super Saiyan, so he reverted back to his base form, and floated gently back to the ground. As soon as he landed, he fell to his knees. "At... At least I can get help now..." He muttered. The Mane 6 groaned as everyone woke up. "Ugh... Everypony alright?" Applejack asked. "My tail!" Rarity said, noticing her regrown tail. "Oh my... Rarity, it's so lovely!" Fluttershy said. "I know! I will never part with it again!" Rarity exclaimed. "No... I meant your necklace! It looks just like your cutie mark!" Fluttershy said. Rarity noticed the difference. "So is yours!" She said. Then, everyone noticed the necklaces. "Look at mine!" Pinkie Pie said, jumping around. "Aw, yeah!" Rainbow Dash said. "Twilight, ah thought you were a lot of hooey, but we really do represent the Elements of Friendship!" Applejack said. "Yep!" Pinkie Pie said. "Oh my... Gohan!" Fluttershy exclaimed, noticing his exhausted state. "D-Don't mind me..." Gohan said, looking over his shoulder. "We won." He added. Then, Princess Celestia appeared with a flash of light, and the Sun rose. The Mane 6 bowed, while Gohan remained still. "G-Gohan! Bow!" Twilight whispered. "U-Uh... Oh! O-Okay!" Gohan said, turning around and bowing down with the little strength he had left. "There is no need, young child." Celestia said. "Uh... Okay ma'am!" Gohan said, kneeling with a straight back again, even though it hurt like hell. "Princess Celestia!" Twilight exclaimed, rushing over to the alicorn and embracing her. "Twilight Sparkle, my faithful student! I knew you could do it... But surprisingly... A different source helped you." Celestia said. "You told me that it was all an old pony tale!" Twilight said. "I told you to make friends, and it seems you have made six!" Celestia said. "I-I'm... A friend?" Gohan asked, pointing at himself. "Why of course. You assisted greatly, and I am very grateful. You have a wound, do you not?" Celestia asked. "U-Uh... Yes ma'am." Gohan said. "I shall heal you. Stand still." Celestia said. Her horn glowed, firing some yellow magic to Gohan. With that, Gohan's wound quickly healed, showing his stomach/abs. "Oh my gosh... Thank you so much!" Gohan said with a huge smile. He stood up. "You are very welcome, what is your name?" Celestia asked. "I'm Son Gohan." Gohan said. "Okay, Son Gohan. Where are you from?" Celestia asked. Gohan paused. He remembered how his friends and family just turned on him. His smile faded, and he frowned upon remembering. "I believe that is a story for another day, I suppose." Celestia said. "Y-Yes..." Gohan said. "I really don't want to talk about it." He added. "You have my gratitude. Now, Princess Luna." Celestia said. Princess Luna had been attempting to get up, she was damaged by Gohan's Kamehameha pretty badly. Celestia approached Luna. "It has been a thousand years since I have seen you like this. It is time to put our differences beside us. We were meant to rule together, little sister." She said. "Sister?" The Mane 6 asked. "I thought so... Their ki are so similar!" Gohan said. "Will you accept my friendship?" Celestia asked. "I'm so sorry! I've missed you so much, big sister!" Luna said as she came close to Celestia. The two sisters shed a few tears. Gohan wished he could see his newborn brother. But, he was glad two other siblings were reunited. "I've missed you too." Celestia said. Pinkie Pie was crying. She was a fountain of tears. But then it just stopped. "Hey! Do you know what this calls for?" Pinkie Pie asked. Then, all of a sudden, everyone was back in Ponyville. Gohan was left confused. "A PARTY!" Pinkie Pie said. Confetti flew everywhere. "W-Wha?" Gohan asked. He was wondering how the hell he just got there. Everypony was rushing to the center of the town. Gohan stood alongside the Mane 6, and the two royal sisters. "Why so glum, Twilight? Your quest is over, you can return for your studies in Canterlot." Celestia said. "I know... But when I learned about making friends and actually made them, I now have to leave them!" Twilight said. Gohan couldn't help but be confused at what was happening, but didn't ask. "Spike, take a note please. I, Princess Celestia, hereby decree, that the unicorn, Twilight Sparkle shall take on a new mission for Equestria. She must continue to study the magic of friendship. She must report her findings to me, in her new home, Ponyville." Celestia said. Spike, the baby dragon wrote it all down. The rest of the Mane 6 hugged Twilight. Gohan walked closer, but that was all. "Thank you, Princess Celestial!" Twilight said. The whole town cheered, and Gohan was still left confused. "Gohan!" A very, very similar voice called. Gohan couldn't believe it. "D-Dad!?" Gohan called. "Yes, son! It's me, your father!" Goku said, from the Other World. Everypony looked at Gohan weirdly. Who was he talking to? "W-Why did you call?" Gohan asked. "I wanted to see how you were doing, and... Your mother showed me that it wasn't great. But, now you're in this new world. I'll call from time to time, son! I just saw what you did, and I'm real proud of you." Goku said. "W-Wow, thanks, dad!" Gohan said, a smile on his face. "Gohan, darling." Rarity said. "Just who are you speaking with?" She asked. Gohan quickly realized what he did. "Oh! I was just talking with my dad!" Gohan said. "But where is he?" Applejack asked. "He's-... Uh... D-Dead." Gohan said, the smile disappearing. He cowered away a little bit. There was an awkward silence. "What is he, a ghost or something? Are you a weirdo?" Rainbow Dash asked. "H-He's a great man... But let's say it's..." Gohan said. "Magic." Goku said. The rest of 8 ponies could hear Goku. "Hi! I'm Goku! Take good care of my son, alright?" Goku said. "Well, we sure will, Mr. Goku." Fluttershy said. "Bye!" Goku said. "Bye dad!" Gohan said. "Wow, to think we thought you were crazy, darling." Rarity said. Gohan laughed. "I am a little unusual, I suppose." He said. Everyone laughed. "Darling, I must make you a new set of clothing! Your current attire has quite a hole." Rarity said. "B-But I don't have the funds to pay..." Gohan said. "Nonsense! It will be free, and it will be perfect!" Rarity said. "Thanks!" Gohan said. "Hey, let's get to know Gohan and Twilight better!" Pinkie said. "Uh... Okay!" Gohan said. That day, Gohan made a decision. He liked this place. At first, the denizens did not welcome him, but making friends proved otherwise for the Saiyan. He could forget the past, and live in peace, at last. Or, could he?
Gohan's Next Day (The Ticket Master) (Edited)It was a new day, and Gohan had some things to do. Gohan slept inside Fluttershy's cottage. She thought Gohan was an animal, after all. He still had the torn up Saiyan armor on... But his boots were off. So his feet were covered in the spandex. Nonetheless, he managed to sleep well. Waking up, he noticed that Fluttershy was up in the other room. He pushed the green blanket off himself and got out of bed. He quickly got his boots on and walked into the living room. Fluttershy was taking care of the animals' breakfasts. She just finished filling the bird feed. "There you are." She said as the birds started eating up. "Hello." Gohan said. Fluttershy turned around. "Oh! Good morning." She said. "Do you need any help?" Gohan asked. "If you'd like to, that'd be nice." Fluttershy said. Gohan was kind enough to help Fluttershy feed the other animals. Ranging from the mice, the other birds and Harry the Bear. With Harry... Outside... "C-Calm down!" Gohan said, holding a basket of berries. He dodged numerous swipes from Harry. "I have berries!" He said, holding out a handful of berries. Harry roared and tried clawing them from Gohan's hand. "Harry!" Fluttershy scolded. Well, that got him to stop. "Gohan was just trying to feed you, and you treat him like that?" Fluttershy asked. Harry looked sad and turned to Gohan. "Now, say that you're sorry." Fluttershy said. Harry made out noises that sounded like a sorry. "That's okay!" Gohan said, holding out the basket to Harry. *** Right outside the door of Fluttershy's cottage... "Thank you very much." Fluttershy said. "Your welcome. I need to get this patched up, so I'll leave." Gohan said, patting his armor. "Hurry back." Fluttershy said. "Oh, and I'll try and make this 'keeping me home' thing temporary, alright?" Gohan asked. "If that's what you would like to do..." Fluttershy said. "Okay, thanks! Bye!" Gohan said before flying into town. Fluttershy waved as he flew away. But she was left to wonder... "How is Gohan flying in the first place?" She asked herself. Gohan was soaring the skies. Free from burden. But, he had a small thought. 'Should I still train?' He thought. Gohan stopped moving, and floated in the air. "Dad?" He called. After a few moments, his father answered. "Yes, Gohan?" Goku asked. "Should I... Continue to train?" Gohan asked. "That's up to you. If I were you, I would, but I know you don't like to fight. I'd do it because it seems like you would run into stuff like that Nightmare Moon." Goku said. "Okay dad, thanks." Gohan said. "Anytime, son!" Goku said. "Hey!" Rainbow Dash yelled. Gohan turned around to see Rainbow Dash closing in. "LOOK OUT!" She yelled. Gohan moved out of the way in an instant. Rainbow Dash slowed down as much as she could. "Sorry about that." She said. "I-It's okay, Rainbow Dash." Gohan said. "I should tell you that some clouds are going to be placed around here. You should probably move." Rainbow Dash said. "Oh? Excuse me, I'll leave now." Gohan said. "See ya!" Rainbow Dash said, flying off. Gohan flew into Ponyville. He was going to Rarity's Boutique. He knocked on the door ever so slightly, so he wouldn't accidentally break it. "Come in! We are open!" Rarity said. Gohan opened the door. "Hello?" He asked. "Oh, Gohan, darling. It's you! We should get you something to wear." Rarity said. "Follow me, we must take a few measurements, and you can describe to me what you desire to wear." She said as she trotted away. Gohan followed. Rarity used her magic to get her tape measure. "Stand on this, and hold still." Rarity said. Gohan complied. Rarity was taking all kinds of measurements based on what he was wearing. After a while, Rarity finished. "Okay darling, describe to me what you desire to wear." Rarity said. "Hm... Oh, I know! Can you get me a piece a paper, and a pencil?" Gohan asked. "Sure thing, here you go." Rarity said, using her magic to levitate a paper, a pencil and a small table. "That's so cool! What is that?" Gohan asked. "It's magic. Unicorns possess magic for levitation and other spells. Although I only use it for levitation, some unicorns practice many spells for combat or safety." Rarity said. "Wow... Magic is interesting." Gohan said. "Yes, anyhow! Please draw what you desire." Rarity said. Gohan quickly drew his father's gi. He went into great detail, he showed the small wrinkles, he drew the weighted, blue shirt behind and without the orange gi, weighted boots, wristbands, and the blue belt. Gohan finished, and handed his paper to Rarity. "My, my. You are quite the artist! What is this, though?" Rarity asked. "It's my father's gi. I went into a little detail... He has weighted clothes with the blue clothes." Gohan said. "Nopony has EVER asked me to create such a heavy piece of clothing. Are you sure about this? They are very heavy." Rarity asked. "If my dad could do it at my age, so can I." Gohan said. "Your father sounds incredibly strong. Do you mind listing some of his feats while I create your clothing?" Rarity asked, already working on Gohan's clothes. "Where do I start... He's really powerful. I was told he sent a rabbit to the moon when he was really small!" Gohan said. "Really? That sounds rather painful for the rabbit." Rarity said. "He was a mob boss or something, so don't worry. He's also won the 23rd World Martial Arts tournament..." Gohan said. "That sounds impressive." Rarity said. "He's defeated so many people! Aliens who threatened to destroy our home, and even tyrants such as Frieza!" Gohan said. "Did you say Frieza?" Rarity asked. "That sounds vaguely familiar." She said. "Yes. He defeated him, by turning into the legendary Super Saiyan!" Gohan said. "What is that?" Rarity asked. "A Super Saiyan is an ascended Saiyan. I can do it too! I actually did it against that... I believe it was Nightmare Moon?" Gohan said. "Yes.. Oh, was that your mane changing color?" Rarity asked. "Yeah, it was that too." Gohan said. "Your father sounds quite impressive. What else has he done?" Rarity asked. "Well... He can destroy a planet if he ever wanted to, but he's too nice to do something awful like that. He can move like it's nothing in 100x normal gravity... Uh.." Gohan said. "O-Oh my! That's insane! 100 times normal gravity!?" Rarity asked, surprised. "Oh yes, and he can do much more than that. He can lift so many tons- He can bench press a planet!" Gohan said. Rarity nearly fell over at that accomplishment. "A-An entire planet!?" She asked. "Yeah..." Gohan said. "I'm sure your father has passed on some of his amazing strengths on to you, darling." Rarity said. "I would agree! I can do everything he can at this point!" Gohan boasted. "But there's only one thing that I don't have." He said. "What would that be, darling?" Rarity asked. "I... I don't really like to fight, unlike him. Saiyans have this ceaseless lust for battle, but I'm sort of half and half on it." Gohan said. "Wow. That sounds rather okay, Gohan. Violence isn't a great pastime." Rarity said. "Yeah... But sometimes, like against Nightmare Moon, I just both needed to and wanted to fight. It's just in my blood." Gohan said. "Well, that could be good as well. We may encounter weird things. Like when Rainbow Dash did going through that Street Fighter phase." Rarity said, remembering when Rainbow Dash dressed as Ryu from Street Fighter and pretended to do random stuff. *** "Hadouken!" Rainbow Dash yelled, throwing a cloud at Fluttershy. "Oh no!" Fluttershy said, pretending to fall down. "I lose!" She said. "Yes! I win!" Rainbow Dash said. "I wanna be Ryu next time..." Fluttershy said. "No! You can be Ken!" Rainbow Dash said. "Aw..." Fluttershy said. *** "S-She was a street fighter?" Gohan asked. "No, I believe it was some childish video game." Rarity said. "Oh, alright." Gohan said. "I just finished!" Rarity said, using her magic to reveal an orange gi that looked exactly like his father's. But she put it in Gohan's arms quickly, as it was very heavy. "Wow. Thank you so much, Rarity!" Gohan said. "You are very welcome, dear. Try them on!" Rarity said. "Okay!... Do you have a booth I could try these on in?" Gohan asked. "Oh!... Uh, sure. It is right over there." Rarity said, pointing a hoof at a booth. She only had it for ponies who weren't okay with wearing nothing in public. Gohan went in, and came out of the booth soon after. It was a perfect fit! "Wow, thanks again, Rarity!" Gohan said. "It was my pleasure. Now run along, I have more customers." Rarity said. Gohan waved goodbye, and dumped his Saiyan armor in the trash. He then left the boutique. "Where to today... Ah yes. The library!" Gohan said. Gohan walked around Ponyville, heading for the library. He wasn't completely accepted by the denizens of Ponyville. Some ponies haven't accepted him yet. "Weirdo!" One pony yelled. Gohan shrugged the comment off. For some reason, it instantly rained. Gohan looked up. "What happened?" He asked. 'It was just sunny a moment ago... The heck?' He thought. Gohan flew up over the clouds to see who the culprit was. He looked around to see Rainbow Dash. "Hey! Why are you making it rain!?" Gohan asked. Rainbow Dash looked over to see Gohan. "To prevent YOU or any pony else from getting that ticket!" She said. "Uh... What ticket?" Gohan asked. "Uh, to the Grand Galloping Gala! The most awesome place for the Wonderbolts?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Uh... Not interested?... I don't even know what the Grand Galloping Gala is. Can you make it not rain anymore or something? Or is it a pattern?" Gohan asked. "How don't you-... Whatever, yeah it's a pattern." Rainbow Dash said. "Oh, and you look cool in that thing, I guess." She added. "Oh, thanks! I just got it from Rarity." Gohan said. "Yeah, okay. See you around, Gohan." Rainbow Dash said before flying off. Gohan waved. He then flew over the clouds, seeing how astonishing the scenery was. He could see how the pegasi could just sit on clouds. 'I wonder...' Gohan thought. He stopped flying to let himself fall on a cloud, but he fell right through the cloud since he wasn't a pegasus. "Bad idea, bad idea!" He said. Gohan stopped before he smashed into the ground. "That... Was close." He said. He looked up to the sky. "I guess I can't sit on a cloud." He said to himself. "You sure can't!" Pinkie Pie said, hopping around. Gohan stood on the ground again. "Hey, Pinkie. What's going on?" He asked. "Oh, Twilight has a ticket to the Grand Galloping Gala plus one! Everypony's trying to get Twilight to give that plus one ticket!" Pinkie Pie said. "Uh... Alright... I still don't know what this Gala is..." Gohan said. Pinkie Pie gasped. "YOU don't know the Grand Galloping Gala!? Let me show you!" Pinkie Pie said. Then, the two were somehow in some random occurance. "H-How did we get here?" Gohan asked. The background was full of flying giant confetti and balloons. Pinkie Pie sang a long song about how partying at the Grand Galloping Gala would be fun. It was filled with rainbows and dancing and whatnot. Then, they appeared back in Ponyville, and at Sugarcube Corner. "Uh... How did we-" "Don't ask, silly! Auntie Pinkie has her tricks!" Pinkie Pie interrupted. "We're not related, though..." Gohan said. "Okay, I'm your ADOPTED Auntie Pinkie, how's that?" Pinkie Pie asked. "Uh... Okay... Can I eat something?" Gohan asked. "Oh sure! Here's 20 cupcakes, on the house!" Pinkie Pie said. "O-On the house!? Really?" Gohan asked. "Sure! Here!" Pinkie Pie said, pulling out a tray of twenty cupcakes out of nowhere. "Oh, yum! They're extra large too! This will be great for one of twenty courses of a meal!" Gohan joked. "Eat up!" Pinkie Pie said before vanishing. Gohan was left in an empty store with a bunch of cupcakes pulled out of nowhere. He ate them all in an instant, and remained hungry. "Oh well, I should wait until I eat a lot." He said to himself. Gohan left the store. It was already starting to become nighttime. 'I should head to the library before I forget.' He thought to himself. Gohan walked over to Twilight's treehouse, but saw some oddities while going over. For some reason, there were groups of ponies trying to find something. He shrugged it off as nothing, and went to Twilight's treehouse. He knocked on the door. No answer. "She mustn't be home." Gohan said to himself. He didn't sense anything in there. But, Twilight had just teleported there. Gohan sensed it. So he knocked again. "No! Go away!" Spike yelled. "I just want to see the library!" Gohan said. "Spike, maybe let Gohan in?" Twilight asked. The door opened. "Hurry!" Spike said. Gohan was in very quickly. "What's the rush?" Gohan asked. "Everypony somehow found out I have an extra ticket to the Grand Galloping Gala and everypony trying to- Wait, you want that ticket too, don't you!?" Twilight asked. "I... I don't really have in interest in that... I came to check out your books..." Gohan said. "O-Oh... Pardon me. Spike, lock the doors and windows!" Twilight said. Spike and Twilight closed every window, and turned every light off. But, Gohan could sense 5 other ponies. "Who's there!?" Gohan asked, pointing at the window. The lights flashed on again. The rest of the Mane 6 were there at Twilight's window. "Man, when she said everyone really wanted that ticket, she meant it literally." Gohan said. Twilight screamed, bringing the attention over to her. It also made the five come back to their senses. "I can't decide, you're all too important to me and doing favors and giving me gifts isn't helping at all! I want to make each one of you happy, and I just can't! UUUUGGGGHHH!" She groaned. "Are you okay?" Gohan asked. "Try deep breathing, it gets rid of some stress." He said. Her friends started to feel bad, and climbed down from the window. "Twilight, I didn't mean to put so much pressure on you. You can give the ticket to somepony else, I wouldn't care at all." Applejack said. "Me too... I feel so awful that I made you feel so awful about it." Fluttershy said. "Me too! It's no fun to upset your friends!" Pinkie Pie said. "Twilight, it was not fair of me to do such nice things for my own personal gain. Please forgive me." Rarity said. "Yes! I got the ticket!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed. Everyone looked at Rainbow Dash as she was boasting about getting the ticket. Gohan was unamused. He even had the face to show how unamused he was. Rainbow Dash realized what she was doing. "Uh... I haven't been practicing for the Wonderbolts for a while. I don't want to go yet, I guess." She said. Then, everyone except for Twilight and Spike stared at Gohan. "Uh... Why are you guys staring at me?" Gohan asked. "Don't you have something to say?" Rarity asked. "Uh... I'm sorry for asking to see if you had any interesting books while you were going through this time of grief?" Gohan asked. "The ticket, you nerd!" Rainbow Dash said. "Oh, Rainbow Dash, Gohan never asked me for the ticket." Twilight said. "What!?" Five of the Mane 6 asked. "Oh my, I apologize Gohan." Rarity said. "I-It's nothing, really..." Gohan said. Then Twilight had Spike write a letter to Celestia about a lesson she learned in friendship. Twilight was returning her tickets to Celestia. "Twilight, you don't have to do that!" Applejack said. "Nope! I already made up my mind." Twilight said. Spike sent the letter to Celestia with a quick breath of fire. "I couldn't go there unless my best friends joined me!" Twilight said. The Mane 6 all came into a group hug. Gohan just stood there, surprised. 'This is just... Weird.' He thought. Spike walked over to Gohan, who had a confused expression on his face. "I'm with you, thi-" Spike said before something tried to make him burp. "Why that's just like a boy, Spike. You see something a little girly, and you're all ready to barf!" Applejack said. "D-Does that exclude me, somehow?" Gohan asked. "Yeah, you- Wait, are you a boy or a girl?" Applejack asked. "A boy." Gohan said. "Well you sound girly!" Rainbow Dash said. "That's not very nice, Rainbow Dash." Fluttershy said. "But its true!" Rainbow Dash said. Then, after long, painful moments of trying to burp, Spike burped out a letter. "Whoa, Nellie!" Applejack said. "A letter from the princess!" Twilight said. Spike read out the letter, and pulled out 7 tickets to the Grand Galloping Gala. "Now we can all go!" Twilight said. "Alright, you can go. Can I read some books while your at it?" Gohan asked. "No, you're coming too, Gohan!" Twilight said. "B-But... Can I just give my ticket to him?" Gohan asked, pointing at Spike. "Nah, I don't really want to go." Spike lied. Gohan groaned. "I guess I'll take the ticket..." He said. "Alright!" Twilight said. Then, her stomach rumbled. "Let us, treat you to dinner Twilight." Rarity said, trying to make up for her mistake. "OOH! I'll get the cupcakes!" Pinkie Pie said. The Mane 6 began to walk out of the Treehouse. "You two are coming to eat with us!" Rarity said, pointing a hoof at Gohan and Spike. "Well, I am hungry. I should warn you that... My appetite is really big." Gohan said. "Don't worry. Nopony eats more than Pinkie Pie." Rarity said. "Oh yeah? I challenge that!" Gohan said, running after the Mane 6. Then, Spike burped up another ticket to the Gala. He followed too. ***Hours Later*** Gohan was already at his 90th plate. He beat Pinkie Pie 65 plates ago. Spike and the Mane 6 looked in shock as Gohan was eating nonstop. Well, Pinkie was cheering him on. "Go! Go! Go! Faster! This is amazing!" She said with glee. "Uh... Gohan?" Applejack asked. Gohan stopped eating for a moment. "Yaffsh?" He asked with his mouth full. "Gohan, don't talk with your mouth full! That's rude!" Rarity scolded. Gohan swallowed the spaghetti he was eating, finishing his 90th plate. "Sorry, what is it?" Gohan asked, wiping his mouth with a napkin. "Well, firstly I'd expect an adult such as yourself would have table manners already!" Rarity said. "A-Adult?" Gohan asked. "I'm eleven, silly!" He added. "WHAT!?" The Mane 6 asked. "Oh no, I can't let you leave the cottage on your own until you're old enough!" Fluttershy said. "Uh... Fluttershy, I don't know how he's gonna fare that way." Rainbow Dash said. "Don't worry, I'll take good care of him." Fluttershy said. "Yeah, but... How are you going to afford to feed him!?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Oh... I don't know, I'll figure it out." Fluttershy said. "He can come down to the farm for an apple or two anytime." Applejack said. "Say you can eat clouds, too, Gohan." Goku said from Other World. "I can eat clouds, too, I guess." Gohan said. Spike and the Mane Six burst with laughter. "Thanks dad." Gohan whispered. "No problem, son!" Goku said.
Gohan's Life through Season 1 (Edited)It's been quite a while since Gohan came to Ponyville. Many of the denizens liked Gohan. But many hated Gohan, he wasn't a gryphon or a pony. It wasn't normal to them. Gohan lived outside of Ponyville, actually. In a small shack. Built by himself, mainly because he'd eat out the entire pantry of wherever he had lived. He could've went to Sweet Apple Acres, but that wasn't a good option either. Actually, he didn't even ask. He just didn't want to repeat the mistake of eating everything. He comes into Ponyville to see Twilight to discuss mathematics, or to read a book. He also helps Applejack down at Sweet Apple Acres, plans a few parties with Pinkie Pie, and was part of the weather team with Rainbow Dash. Despite not being a pegasus, he could still move clouds. And, boy. Was it difficult for Rainbow Dash to get him in. Some serious begging and testing. *** In Mayor Mare's office... Three individuals were. Rainbow Dash, Mayor Mare and Gohan. "I deny him a job on the weather team!" Mayor Mare said. "But why!?" Rainbow Dash asked. "He's not only flightless, but an overgrown monkey! It's absurd to even consider him for the job!" Mayor Mare said. "Mayor Mare, if I may..." Gohan said. "I can fly." He said. To prove it, he jumped up and floated in mid-air. He spun around the room. Then, he stood on the ground again. "I know I seem strange, but I swear, I won't be a nuisance." He said. "Hmm... You seem to mean well... However, since you are no pony, I suppose I can let you join after testing..." Mayor Mare said. "I'll do it!" Gohan said. "If you are as Rainbow Dash says... Then this will be a tad dangerous. The town is running low on metals, but the mines are full of bats. That's why they're barren, as reports show attacks hospitalize ponies." Mayor Mare said. "So you want me to get which minerals?" Gohan asked. "It's not necessarily the minerals we seek, it's the removal of the bats. I know it sounds weird, but nopony's daring to go in there." Mayor Mare said. "I guess I'll do it. Bats aren't much of a problem." Gohan said. *** So, now Gohan and Rainbow Dash were outside the mine. It happened to be inside the mountain harboring Canterlot. Rainbow Dash wasn't going to go in, but Mayor Mare gave Gohan a helmet with a light. Gohan just tossed that to the side. "Good luck, Gohan. I know it's going to be difficult, but I bet you can do it!" Rainbow Dash said. "Oh, I have the perfect plan." Gohan said. "What is it?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Well, I was going to use a cow, but I realized how useless that is and how cruel it is. So, from studying bats, I know something they really dislike." Gohan said. "What?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Artificial light. You might want to stay out of the way for a quick moment." Gohan said. He dashed right into that hellhole of bats. Rainbow Dash stepped to the side like she was told to. She was just standing there, soon to be bored. "What's taking him so long...?" She muttered. Then she saw a bat flying out of the mine. "Finally!" She said. Then a few more came out... Then... There was a huge barrage of blasts flying straight out of the mine! "What the...!?" Rainbow Dash asked, completely flabbergasted. Bats were desperately flying out of the mine. None were harmed, but were they desperate. Eventually the bats and the blasts finally stopped. Gohan slowly walked out with a smile. "That was so cool! You got every one out!?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Yep! Not a trace in there! But they were very hostile. They look like they're going to the Everfree Forest." Gohan said. As it turns out, they were. *** And that's how Gohan got the job. He eventually had gotten enough money to buy more of his father's gis from Rarity. Gohan spends a lot of his time training, alone. Rainbow Dash tried sparring with Gohan once, but Gohan accidentally punched her into a rock and she went to the hospital. Let's watch. *** "Are you sure about this?" Gohan asked. The two were in a field with a few rocks. "Yep! I wanna see what ya got!" Rainbow Dash said. "All right. Let's do this! Come at me!" Gohan said. Rainbow Dash flew at Gohan in a flash! She threw a very swift forehoof! ...Gohan dodged and punched her to the side. He added a bit too much strength, and... She smashed into a rock. Gohan gasped and rushed to her. "Rainbow! Are you okay!? I'm so sorry!" He said. Apparently she's unconscious now. "I need to get her to the hospital..." Gohan said, carrying her and flying quickly. *** And that's how she landed in the hospital. Usually, Gohan does 10,000 push ups and sit ups. He also practiced his punches and kicks. Occasionally, he fired a Kamehameha wave into the sky. Sometimes, Gohan could be seen as a Super Saiyan in Ponyville in order to keep his stamina maxed. This has led to some rude remarks from some of the townsfolk. But that hasn't harmed Gohan badly, and he's fine. Gohan has had his moments where he let his rage speak, rather than himself. Such as the time when Trixie came. *** "What are you? A monkey? The Great and Powerful Trixie shall turn you into a pony at once!" The 'Great and Powerful' Trixie exclaimed before shooting magic at Gohan. "Like! I! Said!... I DONT CARE!" Gohan yelled, swatting the beam away and throwing a ki blast at Trixie. Trixie dodged, and nearly got hit by the blast. "How dare you attempt to strike the Great and Powerful Trixie!? The Great and Powerful Trixie has managed to defeat an Ursa Major with her powerful magic!" Trixie yelled. Many ponies gasped. "The Ursa Major is only a constellation! I prevented the entire Solar System from being destroyed, and I can increase my power hundreds of times over!" Gohan yelled. "That's a load of hooey!" A pony yelled. "Oh yeah!?" Gohan yelled. Gohan made his Super Saiyan transformation extra dramatic by yelling, causing an earthquake, and turning his hair blond and black again multiple times. Many ponies began to run away. Trixie was standing still, despite being scared. "That's enough!" A shy voice yelled. Gohan went back into his base form as Fluttershy stopped his tiny assault. "Gohan! Don't scare the other ponies away! Ignore her, I recommend you go home." Fluttershy said. "Oh... Oh gosh, I'm so, so sorry Fluttershy... I didn't mean to-" "Don't worry, it's alright. You can lose it once in a while, you know?" Fluttershy interrupted. "Y-Yeah... I'll see you around." Gohan said. "You better run..." Trixie whispered. *** There were moments where Gohan wanted to do something. Like when Gilda, the gryphon came to town. She was even mean to Gohan! *** Gohan was moving the clouds for the afternoon. It was scheduled to be cloudy, so he got quite a few. Rainbow Dash and Gilda were racing, and having lots of fun. Gohan watched them perform tricks and all, but he needed to use a few of the clouds they were using. After Rainbow Dash finished her latest trick, Gohan approached the old school friends. "Hey!" Gohan said, waving. "Oh hey there, dude!" Rainbow Dash said, waving a hoof. "Who's this... Thing?" Gilda asked. "Oh, wait... I know what you are! I've read it in my textbooks before, I thought gryphons never existed!" Gohan said. "Uh, Gohan? The Gryphon Kingdom exists?" Rainbow Dash said. "What?... Oh, I'm sorry, I must have read it in my old home." Gohan said. "Well, that's cool, 'dude'." Gilda said with a bit of anger. "I'm Son Gohan, and who are you?" Gohan asked. "The name's Gilda." Gilda said. "I have to go do some weather duties, so catch you later, Gilda!" Rainbow Dash said, flying away. "See ya, Dash." Gilda said. "Alright then. I'm sorry to ask, but I'm gonna need a few of these clouds, is that alright?" Gohan asked. "Beat it, weirdo." Gilda said. "B-But... Can I just please take one?" Gohan asked, holding up a finger. "I said beat it! Buzz off, you... Thing. Trying to use all of these clouds here." Gilda said, hugging the clouds closely. "For what?" Gohan asked. "Just get out of here before I pound you, smarty!" Gilda said, holding up a fist. Gohan tried restraining his anger, this 'Gilda' wasn't making it easy. Gohan sighed. "Fine. See you around, Gilda." He said before flying away quickly. *** Like when the dragon snored smoke all over Ponyville, and he was ready to beat it up. But, he didn't do it. *** The few leaves merely touched Fluttershy, yet she screamed. "AVALANCHE!" She screamed. The Mane 6 were running everywhere, trying to avoid the falling rocks. Gohan threw many ki blasts to destroy the falling rocks and boulders. It wasn't enough, though. All of his friends could escape the carnage, but Gohan was engulfed by the avalanche. After it stopped, the Mane 6 was looking all over for Gohan. "Do you think he's...?" Applejack asked. "N-No way, he's probably pulling a prank on us!" Rainbow Dash said. During this, a faint yell could be heard. It grew louder in volume as time went by. "Is the dragon waking up?" Pinkie Pie asked. "Why do y- Actually, I hear something." Twilight said. Fluttershy hid behind a bush. Gohan burst through the remains of the avalanche. "Oh my, you're still alive and well!" Rarity said. "Yeah, I'm alright!" Gohan said. "But it appears your clothes have a few cuts." Rarity said, pointing a hoof at Gohan's ripped gi. "It's alright. I could get it fixed later!" Gohan said. "Yes, come by later. Now, onward!" Rarity said. Everyone made it to the cave where the dragon slept. Twilight tried to persuade the dragon into leaving, Rarity tried using her charm, and Pinkie Pie did... Whatever she did. Rainbow Dash angered the dragon greatly, and she was sent flying at her friends from a yell. The rest of the Mane 6, except for Fluttershy fell. Gohan flew up to the dragon, and was about to attack. "No Gohan!" Goku yelled from Other World. Gohan stopped in his tracks and flew back a little. "Dad?" He asked. "Don't fight, there's a different solution!" Goku said. "W-What is it?" Gohan asked. "You should look behind you." Goku said. Gohan turned around to see Fluttershy with an angry face. "HOW DARE YOU!?" She yelled at the dragon. Gohan flew down, and rushed to the rest of the Mane 6. After a lengthy talk to the dragon from Fluttershy, he burst into tears. *** There were times when he shined. Well, temporarily. Like when the Ursa Minor, then the Ursa Major came. *** It was nighttime. Snips and Snails summoned an Ursa Minor, but it was considered to be an Ursa Major. All of the ponies in Ponyville were running and panicking. Twilight managed to give the Ursa Minor milk, and to get it back in the cave it came from. Everyone was cheering for Twilight, who thought she had bragged. However, she didn't calm the Ursa Minor's mother, the Ursa Major. Gohan felt it's presence incoming. "Uh... Guys? I think we have a bigger problem than a cub." Gohan said. "Now what are y- Oh my apples." Applejack said. The Ursa Major, nearly ten times the size of the Ursa Minor, was ready to destroy Ponyville. Twilight attempted to calm it, but her magic was far to weak to handle it. "Oh no! That thing's going to destroy Ponyville!" Rainbow Dash said. "Not on my watch!" Gohan yelled. Gohan flew up to the Ursa Major, and punched it from side to side multiple times. "T-That one's insane!" Mayor Mare exclaimed. Gohan uppercutted the Ursa Major, launching it into the air. He quickly flew behind it, cupping his hands together and performing a double axe handle. The Ursa Major was falling to the ground. Gohan didn't stop there, he quickly went back to the ground, moments before the Ursa Major would touch the ground. He cupped his hands together by his side. "It's time to put you back where you belong! Kamehameha!" Gohan yelled, unleashing the Kamehameha wave on the Ursa Major. The Ursa Major was blasted away into outer space. Gohan stopped the beam. There was only silence. Nopony cheered. They all just looked in shock. Gohan looked to the Mane 6. "A-Are you guys alright?" He asked. *** There's a lot more, but his father and his friends stopped him from acting in most of those times. There are also times when Gohan didn't do what was expected of him. Not that he acted out of turn, but he wasn't like other ponies. Like the first time he saw Zecora. *** Everyone in Ponyville was inside. It was all strange, why is that? Twilight and Spike were outside as usual, but noticed that no one was outside, at all. Well, except for Gohan. Gohan saw that the shops were closed. 'Strange...' He thought to himself. 'Why is everyone indoors today?' He thought. Twilight and Spike were just pulled into Sugarcube Corner. Gohan witnessed that. But he could sense another being in town. There was a zebra, just digging. It stared at Gohan with mean eyes. Gohan stared the zebra down. Applejack's little sister, Applebloom was lurking around. The zebra walked back to the Everfree Forest after quite the staring contest. Applebloom followed. Gohan stood there, confused as to what just happened. He had a staring contest with a zebra, and he won because it just walked away. The Mane 6 rushed out of Sugarcube Corner. "Gohan, lad! Have y'all seen Applebloom?" Applejack asked. "Uh, no. I haven't. I just stared at a zebra for some random reason." Gohan said. "That zebra is Zecora, and she may have taken my sister Applebloom! Lets giddy up to the Everfree Forest!" Applejack said. "U-Uh... Alright..." Gohan said, following the Mane 6. "Why didn't you run away from the spooky, scary and evil Zecora?" Pinkie Pie asked. "For the last time, Pinkie, Zecora is probably not evil!" Twilight said. "Uh... Yeah, Zecora was just staring." Gohan said. *** Gohan has had a fun, saddening, and silencing time. Now, let's see where he is now!
The Grand Galloping GalaGohan was setting a cloud to be in some spot, and overheard Twilight and Pinkie Pie having a conversation beside Rarity's Boutique. "THE GRAND GALLOPING GALA IS TONIGHT!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed, jumping up and down on a trampoline. "Pinkie, please stop shouting! I'm trying to focus." Twilight said. Gohan flew over to them. "Hey!" He said. "Oh hey, Gohan." Twilight said. "Hi Gohany han!" Pinkie Pie said. Rarity suddenly opened the door of her boutique. "Pinkie Pie, please stop jumping! I must make the dresses for the Gala, and I refuse to make a dress for you while you're all sweaty!" Rarity said. Pinkie Pie stopped jumping and stood on the ground. Twilight was working on a spell for the Grand Galloping Gala. "The others are very late!" Rarity said. "Hold your horses, now. We're here." Applejack said, walking alongside Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash. "Perfect, I'm ready!" Twilight said. "For what?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Alright, Spike." Twilight said. Spike brought an apple, and set it on the ground. "An apple! Are we having pie?" Pinkie Pie asked. Spike silenced Pinkie Pie with a hush. Twilight used her magic to turn the apple into a big carriage! Big enough to hold the eight. Everyone complimented Twilight's work. "Nice job!" Everyone said. "Thanks! But that's just the start. Fluttershy, did you bring your friends?" Twilight asked. "Oh yes, but will they be safe?" Fluttershy asked, lowering her head to set her pet mice on the ground. They were burrowed in her mane. "You have my word." Twilight said. "We'll keep Twilight in check for ya, Fluttershy." Applejack said. Twilight used her magic to turn the mice into full grown horses! "So that's the difference between and pony and a horse... This place makes no sense." Gohan commented. The rest of the Mane 6 were confused. Opal, Rarity's cat, seized the moment, and scratched one of the horse mice. The horse mice all ran away. "Oh no! Those horses were supposed to carry the carriage! How will we get to the Gala?" Twilight asked. "Oh, whatever shall we do?" Rarity asked. "I'll pull the carriage..." Gohan said. "No, we shouldn't let a child do that." Twilight said. "B-But I can shoot bears back into space... And I can do it!" Gohan said. A clump of dirt was thrown at Gohan from a colt. "Hey!" Gohan said. "Sorry, I was doing the right thing, trying to scare monsters away from my filly." The colt said. Gohan used his ki to get the mud off of him. "How dare you assault our little Gohan here! He's only a child!" Rarity said. "Whoa, whoa! How is that towering creature only a kid?" The colt asked. "That thing's a monster!" The colt's filly said. "I'm not a pony. I think you get the idea, now please leave." Gohan said. "No Gohan, the colt should be an adult and apologize to you." Rarity said. "No... It's alright. Now you can leave, mister." Gohan said. "Weirdo..." The colt said as he trotted away with his filly. "I'm gonna ignore the fact that that just happened." Twilight said. "Anyway, what can we do for the carriage?" Applejack asked. "Like I said, I'll do it." Gohan said. "Are you sure you can handle it?" Applejack asked. "Allow me to demonstrate in a nerdy manner, heh." Gohan chuckled. He picked the carriage up with one hand. "Considering I can lift this heavy object with ease, I believe I have the strength to pull this carriage at a mediocre pace, even with all of you in it." Gohan said. "That was... Too much like Twilight." Rainbow Dash said. Gohan floated above the ground. "If I hold something and I am flying, what happens to the action?" He asked. "You would need twice the amount of strength to hold something." Twilight said. "Correct. And considering I can do that and," Gohan said, chucking the carriage away. The Mane 6 and Spike all gasped. Gohan appeared in front of it, catching it again and flying back to the Mane 6. "Throw this with ease, I believe I have more than enough strength to pull this carriage! Also I can just go Super Saiyan to make it even less of a weight." Gohan said, setting the carriage down. "Well, shoot. Guess Gohan's gonna pull the carriage." Applejack said. "I still don't get you, Gohan." Rainbow Dash said. "Why's that, Rainbow Dash?" Twilight asked. "I don't know, he's such a nerd, yet he has so much coolness! I've never met such a hybrid!" Rainbow Dash said. "I-I guess it's just luck... Heheh." Gohan chuckled. "Anyhow, everypony! I shall make dresses and tuxedoes for you all!" Rarity said. Everyone entered the boutique. The Mane 6 were all straightening their hair in a separate room. Spike and Gohan were outside. Gohan didn't, in fact, his hair hadn't changed a single bit since he was in Equestria. "You say it used to grow, Gohan?" Rarity asked. "Yeah, but I don't know why it just stopped all of a sudden." Gohan said on the other side of a door. "Your mane hasn't changed its style nor it's length, you should be fine, dear." Rarity said. Spike was knocking on the door. "Come on! Let me in, guys!" He said. "No! You mustn't! We're dressing!" Rarity said. "Uh, Rarity, we don't normally wear clothes." Applejack said. "Except for the other nerd." Rainbow Dash said. Gohan laughed. "Fine." Rarity said, opening the door with her magic. "I'm sorry Spike, some of us do have standards." Rarity said. "I still can't believe we're going to be at Canterlot tonight!" Spike said as he walked around the boutique. "Our home town, Twilight! The best part is, we'll be together all night long!" He added. 'Good... I have some protection in case I'm judged...' Gohan thought as he walked into the same room. "I don't know, Spike." Rainbow Dash said. 'Oh, man.' Gohan thought. Rarity put an eyelash on her face. "We'll just have to see." She said. Applejack scrubbed Fluttershy's hoof, then spat on it. "We're gonna be a might, busy." She said. Pinkie Pie's hair was straightened. "Busy having fun!" Pinkie Pie said, before her hair poofed out again. "Oh... Okay." Spike said, putting on a frown. "Don't worry, Spike. I can hang around you." Gohan said with a reassuring smile. "Thanks, Gohan." Spike said, a frown turned into a smile. "Don't worry, you two. We'll all get to spend time together." Twilight said, applying some makeup. "Great!" Spike exclaimed. "Hey Rarity, I have a design of clothing to ask for." Gohan said. "Here's the paper and pencil, draw away, darling." Rarity said, giving Gohan the tools. Gohan drew a picture of a familiar shirt and pants he wore on his eleventh birthday. He handed the paper to Rarity. "My, my! I haven't seen anything like this. What is this, Gohan?" Rarity asked. "It's considered formal where I come from... I wore it for my eleventh birthday." Gohan said. "Well, I shall make this for you. Your culture is very interesting, Gohan." Rarity said. Gohan chuckled. Later, everyone was ready to go. Gohan was sporting his drawn picture. In fact, he went Super Saiyan to top it all off. https://t00.deviantart.net/Cd3AqpNkMVGG09Wav8m2_7okeiw=/fit-in/700x350/filters:fixed_height(100,100):origin()/pre00/da5b/th/pre/f/2016/366/e/1/gohan_by_tch023-datos61.png "Gohan, are you sure you want your mane to be so blond?" Fluttershy asked. "It brings back quite the memories, and I'm fine with the hair color. It's a Super Saiyan, after all. I can change it back whenever I want." Gohan said. "That sounds like a lovely ability, changing the color of your mane..." Fluttershy said. "It's not as peachy as you think." Gohan said. The Mane 6 all entered the carriage. Spike wore a tuxedo, and the Mane 6 all had dresses. Spike was outside the carriage. Gohan already began to pull the carriage. Really, he barely used any strength. "Oh, I've got to show Rarity around! I'll show her the gems, and all that stuff!" Spike said. "Sounds like a plan, Spike." Gohan said. Inside the carriage, the Mane 6 were chatting. "Let's go then!" Spike said. "Faster!" He said. "How much faster do you want me to go, anyway?" Gohan asked. "I dunno... Fast, but reasonable I guess." Spike said. "Alright." Gohan said, picking up the speed. "Being so slow before was really a challenge, but this is a little less of a challenge. Heh." He chuckled. Eventually, they arrived in Canterlot. Spike opened the carriage door for the Mane 6, and bowed to them respectively. Gohan quickly followed. "Whoa!" Spike said. "You all look amazing!" He said. "Didn't you see them before they entered the carriage?" Gohan asked. "N-No, I was kind of focused on your Super Saiyan thingy." Spike said. "Okay, but I guess they do look amazing." Gohan said. Spike jumped on Gohan's shoulder and leaned in to his ear. "You're not crushing on any one of them, are you?" He asked. "Uh, no. Why?" Gohan asked. "Just wondering. I thought you were crushing on one of them, that's all." Spike said. "I'm not a pony so I'd rather not." Gohan said. Spike giggled. "Yeah, I guess." He said. "I can't believe we're at the Gala!" Twilight said, further explaining the place. "This will be the best night ever!" She said, with fireworks going off. "At the Gala!" The Mane 6 sang. "At the Gala! In the garden! I'm going to see them all!" Fluttershy sang. "All the creatures, I'll befriend them, at the Gala! All the birdies, and the critters, they will love me big and small! We'll become good friends forever, right here, At The Gala!" Fluttershy sang. "All our dreams will come true, right here at the Gala! At the Gala!" The choir sang. "At the Gala! I will sell them, all my appletastic treats!" Applejack sang. "The hungry ponies, they will buy them, caramel apples, apple sweets! And then earn a lot of money, for the Apple family!" Applejack sang. "All our dreams and our hopes from now until here after. All that we've been wishing for will happen at the Gala! At the Gala!" The choir sang. "At the Gala! All the royals, they will meet fair Rarity!" Rarity sang. "They will see, I'm just as regal at the Gala! I will find him, my Prince Charming, and how gallant he will be! He will treat me like a lady, tonight! At the Gala!" Rarity sang. "This is what we've been waiting for, to have the best night ever! Each of us will live our dreams, tonight! At the Gala! At the Gala!" The choir sang. "Been dreaming, I've been waiting! To fly with those great ponies!" Rainbow Dash sang. "The Wonderbolts, their daring tricks, spinning 'round and having kicks! Perform for crowds of thousands! They'll shower us with diamonds! The Wonderbolts will see me right here! At the Gala!" Rainbow Dash sang. "I'm here, at the Grand Gala! For it is the best party!" Pinkie Pie sang. "But the one thing, it was missing, was a pony named Pinkie! For I am the best at parties! All the ponies will agree, ponies playing, ponies dancing with me! At the Gala!" Pinkie Pie sang. "Happiness and laughter! At the Gala!" The choir sang. Then, the song was shifted to Gohan. "U-Uh... At the G-Gala! I will... Um... Be with my friends?" Gohan sang with an awkward smile. The choir skipped Gohan's terrible and unprepared verse. "At the Gala, with the princess, is where I'm going to be!" Twilight sang. "We will talk all about magic, and what I've learned and seen! It is going to be so special, as she takes time, just for me!" Twilight sang. "This will be the best night ever!" The choir sang. The bridge was laid down, and the ponies crossed it. "Into the Gala we must go!" The choir sang. "We're ready now, we're all a glow! Into the Gala, let's go in! And have the best night ever! Into the Gala, now's the time! We're ready and we look divine! Into the Gala!" The choir sang. "Into the Gala," The choir sang. "Meet new friends," Fluttershy sang. "Into the Gala," The choir sang. "Sell some apples," Applejack sang. "Into the Gala," The choir sang. "Find my prince," Rarity sang. "Prove I'm great," The choir sang. "As a Wonderbolt is!" Rainbow Dash sang. "To meet!" Fluttershy sang. "To sell!" Applejack sang. "To find!" Rarity sang. "To prove!" Rainbow Dash sang. "To woo!" Pinkie Pie sang. "To talk!" Twilight sang. "Into the Gala!" The ponies sang. "Into the Gala! And we'll have the best night ever, At the Gala!!" The ponies sang. Then, they finished up the lovely song. Gohan clapped. He also gave a 'I did not expect that' smile. Spike, Gohan, and the Mane 6 entered the Grand Galloping Gala. "This is going to be the best night ever! Because we're all going to spend it to-" Spike said before the Mane 6 trailed off into 6 different directions. "Oh." Spike said. "I'm still here...?" Gohan said. "At least I have one friend to spend it together with." Spike said. "L-Let's just enter that thing..." Gohan said, pointing at a hall. "Yeah." Spike said. As soon as Spike and Gohan entered, they saw Twilight chatting with Celestia, a bunch of other ponies, and Rarity chasing certain Prince Blueblood. However, Gohan was being stared at. All conversations stopped. "What is that thing?" A pony called. "That is one of the many friends of my faithful student, Twilight Sparkle." Celestia called. "His name is Son Gohan. He is just as any other pony here. Please treat each other with respect." She added. "N-Nice to meet you all..." Gohan waved. The ponies went back to their business. "Anyway, what should we do now?" Gohan asked Spike. "I dunno." Spike said. "The only thing I can think of is carrying you and flying all over the place." Gohan said. "That... Actually sounds like a lot of fun!" Spike said. "So we'll do it?" Gohan asked with a smile. "Hay yeah!" Spike said. Gohan picked Spike up and put him on his back. "Just tell me when I'm a little too fast." He said, flying to the outside part of the Gala. The Mane 6 were not having 'the best night' of their lives. Fluttershy wasn't making any animal friends, she was only scaring them! She was going a little insane and was trying to trap them. Rarity did not like how Prince Blueblood was acting. He was so spoiled that he took Rarity's rose. She wasn't hanging around the most charming pony, she was hanging around a brat! Pinkie Pie was trying to party as she usually does, but the Gala was a formal party, not a... Pinkie party. Sadly. Applejack wasn't selling anything other than that one apple pie. She wasn't turning up a huge profit like she thought. Rainbow Dash, who seemingly interested the Wonderbolts, received an invitation to 'hang out' with Spitfire and the Wonderbolts. She wasn't even talking to them, despite her best efforts. Twilight wasn't talking to Celestia about what had happened since they last met, and wasn't too happy. Celestia was too busy greeting ponies. However, Gohan and Spike were having a blast flying around Canterlot. Gohan did receive a bit of bad feedback, but he didn't care. He was having fun, so it didn't matter to him. "Oh! I have an idea!" Gohan said, stopping in midair. "What is it?" Spike asked. Gohan threw many ki blasts into the air, and made them explode each other. It was a decent fireworks show. "Wow! How can you fly without wings, and how can you use magic without a horn!?" Spike exclaimed. Gohan chuckled. "I'm not using magic. Heheh!" He said. "Well what is it? It's so cool!" Spike said. "Ki. It's cool, I guess!" Gohan said. "Is that what you used against that Ursa Major?" Spike asked. "Y-Yeah... I like doing epic things like that, but I really dislike the attention it gives me." Gohan said. "That's strange." Spike said. "How so?" Gohan asked. "Rainbow Dash does awesome stuff all the time, and brags as much as she can. But you tend to hate the attention! She was right, you are a weird hybrid!" Spike chuckled. Gohan laughed. "I suppose it's pure luck." He said. "That's what you said before!" Spike said, laughing. Gohan laughed too. "Should we check on the others now?" Gohan asked, still circling Canterlot. "Nah. Maybe they're having the best night of their lives!" Spike said. "Kind of like we are, right?" Gohan said, raising a fist up to Spike. "You bet!" Spike said, fist bumping Gohan. "Where to?" Gohan asked. "I know a great place for donuts and other treats." Spike said. "Point me in the direction!" Gohan said. Gohan headed for Joe's shop. They entered, and they were greeted by Joe. "Spike, hello! It's been a while!" Joe said. "Hey Joe!" Spike said. "And who's your friend?" Joe asked. "I'm Son Gohan. Nice to meet you sir." Gohan said, bowing his head. "You've got quite the manners there, Son Gohan." Joe said with a smile. "Really?... Thanks." Gohan said. Gohan had a simple glass of water and a plain donut. Spike, on the other hand, had a donut with extra sprinkles and hot cocoa with a marshmallow in it. "I see a very noticeable difference between you two." Joe said. "Really?" Gohan asked. "Yeah, I don't know you, and I know you, Spike." Joe said. Gohan chuckled. "Yeah..." he said. The doors to Joe's shop swung open. The Mane 6 were there. "Well, look who it is! Twilight Sparkle! Long time no see!" Joe said. Spike quickly ran over to them. "How was the Gala?" He asked. Gohan stayed in his seat. The Mane 6 told their stories of how the 'best night ever' turned into the worst night ever. "Well, Gohan and I had a blast! We flew all around the Gala!" Spike exclaimed. "Good for you, Spike!" Twilight said, giving a smile. "Well, somepony had fun!" Applejack said. "Yeah!... I just hope Princess Celestia will forgive us for ruining the Gala..." Twilight said. "That was the best Grand Galloping Gala ever!" Celestia said, happening to be at the entrance. "Princess Celestia!" Everyone except Gohan said. Celestia walked over to Twilight. "Pardon me, Princess, but tonight was just awful!" Twilight said. "The Grand Galloping Gala is always awful, that was why I was so happy you were all attending! I knew you guys would lighten things up a bit!" Celestia said. "And while the evening didn't go as planned, you made it all better. Also, someone did have a fine time." She added. Everyone looked at Spike, then Gohan. "H-Hello again, Princess..." Gohan said with a wave. "You look marvelous in that, Gohan." Celestia said. "Thanks!" Gohan said, resuming his small treat. "I wonder, who provided the extra fireworks show?" Celestia asked. "Oh that was Gohan!" Spike exclaimed. "I-I'd rather you guys not tell anyone about it, okay?" Gohan said with an awkward laugh. "I will keep it a secret." Celestia said. "I guess you're right! Friends somehow make a terrible moment all better!" Twilight said. "Yeah! Just hanging out with your friends!" Rainbow Dash said. "Talking!" Fluttershy said. "Laughing!" Pinkie Pie said. "You mean doing what Gohan and I did the whole time?" Spike said. "Yes, Spike." Twilight said. "Tonight wasn't a good night." Applejack said. "But now it's coming to a happy end!" Rarity said. "This has turned into..." Pinkie Pie said. "The best night ever!" The Mane 6 said. Everyone giggled and laughed a little bit. "A-Alright everyone... As soon as you want to leave, please tell me!" Gohan said. "Okey dokey lokey!" Pinkie Pie said.
Discord's Return Pt. 2"You should see the looks on your faces! Priceless!" Discord said, suddenly laughing like a little boy. "Give us our wings and horns back!" Twilight demanded. Discord moved around the Mane 6. "You see, cheating is not allowed. Which means, no flying. And no magic." Discord said. "The second rule is, everypony has to play, or else I win..." Discord said, sitting on a bush. "Did you forget me?" Gohan asked. Gohan, still retaining his abilities, flew up to Discord and stared at him eye to eye. "Oh. It seems you can fly. No more!" Discord said, snapping his lion's paw. Supposedly Gohan would lose his ability to fly, but that didn't happen. "W-What? Impossible!" Discord said. "Don't worry, Discord. I won't cheat for you. It's only fair." Gohan said, lowering himself to the ground. "What!?" Rainbow Dash exclaimed. She ran up to Gohan. "Are you insane? How will we win?" She asked. "Hey, the first rule was, 'No cheating. Which means no flying or using magic'." Gohan said. "I see. You are a smart and good... Child." Discord said. "So you know my age, at least." Gohan said. "I will find out more about you... You have actually given me something to do in a millennia!" Discord said. "Better do more than that." Gohan said. "Good luck, everypony!" Discord said, before laughing and disappearing again. "Gohan, just fly up! We can defeat Discord that way!" Twilight said. "If we cheat, he might just move the Elements somewhere else!" Gohan said. "That's not- Actually, that makes sense." Twilight said. "Plus, that also means we lose." Gohan said. "Well, never fear guys! We have each other!" Twilight said. "Yeah! Like Twilight said, there's nothing we can't overcome when we stick together!" Rainbow Dash said. The Mane 6 and Gohan all stepped to the entrance. "Alright guys, let's do this." Twilight said. "Together!" Everyone said, taking one step. Then, walls appeared, separating the 7. The Mane 6 started to panic. "Stay calm, everyone! We'll at the middle and regroup there!" Twilight said. "Moving out!" Rainbow Dash said. "See you at the center." Rarity said. "Yeehaw!" Applejack said. "Meet you guys there!" Pinkie Pie said. Then, everyone except for Gohan and Fluttershy already took off. Fluttershy was hyperventilating. "Who's there, who's there!?" She said, before screaming from all the stress. "Fluttershy, calm down!" Gohan said. "H-How!? It's so scary!" Fluttershy said. "Don't worry, you'll be safe. Good luck!" Gohan said, before he went into the maze. *** Applejack was running around. Suddenly, three apples caught her eye, and she went to it. Those three apples rolled away from her. "What in tarnation?" Applejack asked, before running after them. They rolled straight into an illusion, and Applejack fell for it. It was an apple grove. "Where am I?" Applejack asked, before an apple fell on her head. She looked around to see apples falling from the trees, and rolling to her. Each kind of apple formed 3 different piles, and they all laughed. They also circled Applejack. "Who are y'all!?" Applejack asked. The dark red apples spoke first, and formed a face. "The keepers of the grove of truth... You may ask us..." it said. Then the bright red apples spoke next. "A lot of questions..." it said. The green apples spoke next. "Past, future or present!" It said. They kept spitting out nonsense to Applejack. "Alright then, I don't trust this place, but I got a real bad feeling for this fella Discord. What's gonna come from this here mission we're on?" She asked. The apples stopped circling her, and Applejack went to a lake. The apples followed her. "The answers you seek..." The dark red apples spoke. "Go ahead, take a peek!" The bright red apples said. Applejack stared into her reflection, which suddenly turned into an 'answer'. It was Ponyville, completely randomized with buildings floating everywhere. Gohan and the Mane 6 were standing together. "All of you can take a hike!" Gohan yelled. "I hope I never see you again!" Rainbow Dash yelled. "Me too!" Fluttershy yelled. "Fine!" Pinkie Pie yelled. "Fine!" Rarity yelled. "It's settled then." Twilight yelled, Everyone went their separate ways. Applejack stopped looking. "No! Our friendship? Over!?" Applejack asked. Discord was above, using the apples as puppets. "It can't be true... It just can't!" Applejack said. "That just... Can't be the truth..." Applejack said. "Well the truth does..." The bright red apples said. "Make your heart ache..." The green apples said, with spirals suddenly forming. "Sometimes a lie, is easier to take!" It said. They were brainwashing Applejack, and she turned dark. The illusion was gone, and a path opened. Twilight saw Applejack, and ran to her. "Applejack, thank goodness! I thought I heard voices over here!" Twilight said. "Who were you talking to?" She asked. "I was talking to a... Nopony! Nopony whatsoever!" Applejack lied. Her facial expressions almost gave her away. "What!?" Twilight asked, confused. "Nothing, come on! We best be going." Applejack said, trotting away. "Did Applejack just..." Twilight muttered. "Oh come on, Twilight! Applejack wouldn't lie!" She said before trotting after Applejack. *** Pinkie Pie was hopping through the maze and whistling at the same time. She stopped in her tracks when she saw a TON of balloons, all with smiles on them. Pinkie Pie hopped around, excited. "This is the best balloon garden I've ever seen!" She exclaimed. "Well, its the first balloon garden I've ever seen, but-" She said before falling into mud. She looked up to see that a balloon tripped her. All of the balloons were laughing at Pinkie Pie! "Hey, what gives!?" Pinkie Pie asked. Discord appeared in a flash. "What's wrong, Pinkie Pie? I thought you appreciated a good laugh." He said. "It's different! They're laughing at me!" Pinkie Pie said. Discord leaned into a balloon. "It's hardly different." He said. His head vanished, and the balloon had a new face. "Your friends laugh at you all the time!" He said through the balloon. "My friends laugh with me, not at me!" Pinkie Pie said. The Discord balloon circled around Pinkie Pie. "Oh really?" He asked. He laughed while circling faster, and faster. Then the others laughed at Pinkie Pie. "No! Stop it!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed. Then, the balloons had the faces of her friends. They were all laughing at Pinkie Pie. "Stop laughing at me!" Pinkie Pie said. Discord's balloon circled Pinkie Pie. "Oh... Poor Pinkie Pie... and here I thought laughter made you happy..." He said as his eyes turned into spirals. It brainwashed Pinkie Pie, changing her view on laughter. Not only this, but she turned dark. "Happy? I don't think so." She said, and every balloon was popped. Twilight and Applejack saw Pinkie Pie. "Pinkie Pie!" Twilight exclaimed, running to Pinkie Pie. "Are we glad to see you!" She added. Pinkie Pie had a mean face on. "You are, huh? Why?" She asked in a defensive tone. "Need a good laugh!" She said defensively before trotting away. "Why did Pinkie Pie act so weird?" Twilight asked. "I didn't notice anything strange about Pinkie!" Applejack lied, giving a weird face that gave her away before trotting away. "Weird... Better pick up the pace for this or the stress will get to all of us." Twilight said, following the other two. *** Rarity was going about the maze. "I was expecting an audience with the Princess. Not outdoor sport." She said before accidentally walking into an illusion. The illusion was a wall with three perfect diamonds. She gasped. She looked into the diamonds to see Discord. He laughed. "Welcome to your lucky day, Rarity. You've found the one thing in Equestria that could rival my face with sheer beauty." Discord said, making the diamonds shine brighter. The brightness attempted to brainwash Rarity. "What do you think, do you like?" Discord asked. "I like... I like very much..." Rarity said, before shaking her head. "No! I must avoid such beauty." Rarity said, attempting to walk away from the amazing diamonds. "Must! Reach! Center! To reach! The others!" Rarity said, trying to avoid the illusion. Rarity was taken over by her greed, and turned dark. She went back to the diamonds in the wall and got it out. "Well, it took forever..." Rarity said, running up to the combined diamond she made. "Who knew three gems could make a HUNK of a diamond..." She said, hugging the combined diamond. "Now to get you HOME." Rarity said, carrying the huge diamond on her back. The wall she tore the diamond from broke down to reveal Twilight, Applejack and Pinkie Pie. "Rarity!" Twilight exclaimed, running to Rarity. "Are we glad to se-" She said before noticing Rarity holding the illusion diamond, a rock. "Why are you carrying a humongous boulder?" Twilight asked. Rarity set the boulder down. "What do you mean 'boulder'?" She said. Rarity climbed on top of it. "This beautiful rock is a DIAMOND!" She said before hugging it. "And it's all mine." She said. Twilight and the others were looking at it, confused. "Keep your greedy little eyes OFF it!" Rarity said, carrying it again. "It's MINE!" She said, slowly walking away. Twilight and the others followed. *** Fluttershy hid in one of the bush walls, and jumped out when seeing the coast was clear. She was scared, beyond scared. "Okay I can do this..." She reassured herself. "I can do... EEP!" She exclaimed when only three little butterflies flew to her. She ran away instantly, trying to hide inside the walls again. But, Fluttershy realized what happened. She gasped, and stopped trying to hide. "Wait a minute!" She said with a smile. "Butterflies? Wait!" She said, running after the butterflies. "Don't leave me here!" She said. Fluttershy ran after the butterflies in one place, then ended up in another, and another, and eventually she lost the butterflies. The three butterflies were behind Fluttershy. "Fluttershy!" One of the butterflies called. Fluttershy turned around. "It looks like you've been left behind by your so called friends!" The butterfly said. It was Discord. "Oh no, I'm certain they're doing their best to find me!" Fluttershy said. The three butterflies began to circle Fluttershy. "Well, it must be so upsetting to know how weak and helpless they think you are." Each of them said before flying up. "Not at all... I am weak and helpless and I appreciate their understanding." Fluttershy said with a smile. "Yes! Well surely it BURNS you up, that they're always pointing out your flaws, right?" The butterflies said. "Not really, In fact, I believe I'm awfully lucky to have friends who want me to be the best I can be." Fluttershy said, still smiling. The butterflies turned into Discord. "Oh, for goodness' sake!" Discord yelled. He couldn't take it, Fluttershy wasn't budging! He put his finger on her head, and just like that, she was brainwashed. "You've been kind for too long, my dear. Time to be cruel! Arrivaderc!" He said before teleporting away. Part of the wall collapsed to reveal Twilight, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, and Rarity. She was still holding the rock. Twilight trotted to Fluttershy. "Fluttershy! I'm so glad to see your friendly face! This awful labyrinth is getting to everypony!" She exclaimed, looking at the other enraged and dark three. "Oh, boo hoo hoo!" Fluttershy mocked. Twilight was shocked to hear this. "Why don't you make your magical little horn, and make everything alright!?" Fluttershy mocked. Twilight was confused. "Uh..." Was all she could say. "Oh that's right! You don't have one." Fluttershy mocked as she trotted away. She smacked Twilight with her tail. Twilight looked in disbelief. She saw Fluttershy hit Pinkie Pie, and Applejack's laughing! "What is happening to my friends?" Twilight asked herself. "What are YOU LAUGHING AT!?" Pinkie Pie exclaimed. "U-Uh, Chocolate Milk?" Applejack lied, doing that weird face again. *** "What am I going to do with that... Thing..." Discord muttered to himself. "From what I see, he's a poor kid... What a life. No wonder he's here." He said with a little bit of compassion. He snapped his fingers. "Yes! I shall haunt him with his past, and then put him in his evil state..." He laughed. *** Gohan was now walking at a steady pace. But something bad was happening. "Gohan!" A very, very similar voice called. Gohan stopped walking in shock. 'N-No...' He thought. He took one look behind him. It was Chi Chi, his mother.
Discord's Return Pt. 3"Gohan! Why did you kill your father!?" Chi Chi yelled. "B-But mom... I-I didn't-" "Yes you did, don't you lie to me!" Chi Chi interrupted. "I-I'm not lying!" Gohan said, tears forming in his eyes. "Yes, you did Gohan." Another familiar voice said. Gohan looked to his side to see no other than his father, Goku. "D-Dad!?" Gohan asked. "You killed me! You got me killed! Gohan, you're the worst!" Goku yelled, pointing at Gohan. "What a shame." Another familiar voice called. It was Vegeta. Gohan looked to his other side to see Vegeta. "A boy with so much potential, now running to a land of girl dreams to avoid punishment for killing his own father. How disgusting." Vegeta said. "B-But..." Gohan said. "I can't believe you were my mentor." Future Trunks said behind Gohan. Gohan turned around. He donned his Saiyan armor. "How could you just let Goku die? The 'honorable' man you preach about, you murdered!" Trunks said. "I-I didn't kill him! I-I swear!" Gohan cried. "You did kill me Gohan, You DID!" Goku yelled. Piccolo appeared. "I should've left you to die a long time ago." He said, taking off his weights. "Let us finally punish you, you ungrateful murderer." Vegeta said. "W-What!?" Gohan cried. Goku, Trunks and Vegeta all went Super Saiyan. Chi Chi disappeared. Gohan was cornered, and let himself believe he was a terrible, ungrateful murderer. Gohan was close, he was turning dark. Things seemed very bleak... Then... "No, Gohan!" A similar voice called. Gohan immediately stopped turning dark. "D-Dad!?" Gohan called. "That's not me, Gohan!" The real Goku said in Other World. "Yes, you murderer?" The fake Goku said. "Gohan, they're fakes! Remember, you didn't kill me!" Goku called. Gohan wiped his tears. "You're right, dad!" Gohan said, turning Super Saiyan. "DIE!" The fake Vegeta yelled. Gohan only stood there. "You're not real." He said. The fake Vegeta instantly stopped. "You guys are just my memories..." Gohan said. "That's it Gohan!" Goku said. "Discord, show yourself!" Gohan yelled. The illusion disappeared. Discord appeared in front of Gohan. "Well, well, well. It didn't work! How swell." Discord said. "Your species alone confuses me. I'm not even thinking about how confusing you are when you talk." Gohan said, reverting back to his base form. "How did you figure it out? I'm DYING to know." Discord said, appearing next to Gohan. Gohan turned to his side and attempted to punch Discord. Discord teleported a few feet back. "Jeez, I'm just asking you a question..." Discord said, a halo suddenly appearing above his head. "Can you leave?" Gohan asked. "Oh, fine. It seems my magic doesn't work on you anyways. Ta, ta." Discord said before teleporting away. Part of the bush wall collapsed, revealing Twilight, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Rarity and Fluttershy. "Oh hey! Thank goodness I found you guys." Gohan said, running up to them. "Please tell me you're not insane either..." Twilight said, still holding Rarity's diamond. "I-I'm not. Why?" Gohan asked, taking the boulder off of Twilight. He held it over his head. "Thanks. They're all acting so weird!" Twilight said. "No we're not!" Applejack said, making that weird face again. Gohan couldn't help but snicker at the lie. "WHAT ARE YOU LAUGHIN' AT!?" Pinkie Pie yelled in Gohan's face. "W-Whoa... I see what you mean, Twilight." Gohan said. "Thank you very much for holding my diamond, Gohan." Rarity said. "Oh, your- Wait, diamond?" Gohan asked, looking up at the boulder. "Don't get any ideas of stealing it! I found it, so it's MINE!" Rarity said, pointing a hoof at Gohan. "Uh... Alright..." Gohan said. "Oh, too bad, Rarity. Your 'diamond' will be stolen, oh my that's SOOO bad." Fluttershy mocked. "H-Hang on, when did you start talking like that, Fluttershy?" Gohan asked. "It means nothing to you!" Fluttershy yelled. "I think we have a serious problem." Gohan said. "Agreed. I just hope Rainbow Dash doesn't go insane!" Twilight said. *** Rainbow Dash was speeding through the maze, watching out for any obstacle. But then she just saw a cloud with... Rainbow lightning? Rainbow Dash thought it was an Element of Harmony. "I've got you now, Element!" She said, chasing the cloud. The cloud led her straight to... Discord laying on a cloud hammock? With sunglasses? "I can see why you like these clouds so much, they're very plush!" Discord said. "Get off there and put 'em up!" Rainbow Dash said, standing on two legs and using her forehooves as fists. Discord sat up. "Hey... I'm just here to deliver a message!" He said. Rainbow Dash threatened with her hooves being thrown at the air. "I got a message for you too!" She exclaimed. "Listen closely." Discord said seriously, taking his sunglasses off. "This, is important." He said, suddenly moving all around Rainbow Dash. "A weighted choice is yours to make. The right selection, or a big mistake. If the wrong choice you choose, you pursue the foundations of home will crumble." Discord said, finally stopping moving. He snapped his fingers, and the cloud with rainbow lightning spun in front of Rainbow Dash, in an attempt to brainwash her. He showed something grim. He showed her home, Cloudsdale crumbling, being destroyed. "No!" Rainbow Dash yelled. A present appeared in front of Rainbow Dash. "That box contains your wings. You may take them and leave the game, or you can carry on in the maze, aimlessly lost." Discord said. With that, Rainbow Dash was turned dark. "Your choice." Discord said. *** Twilight, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Fluttershy and Gohan were still wandering. Gohan was still carrying Rarity's 'diamond'. "I know Rainbow Dash will find us, she's always there for us!" Twilight said. "Well lookie there, Rainbow Dash's flying away! That's no surprise." Applejack said, pointing a hoof at the sky. "Now I know that's a lie." Twilight said, looking up. Twilight was wrong. Rainbow Dash had her wings and was flying away! "W-What!?" Gohan exclaimed. Then, all of the maze walls fell, and storms filled the skies. "Well, well, well." Discord said. "Somepony broke the 'no wings no magic' rule!" He said, snapping his fingers. This gave Rarity and Twilight their horns back, and Fluttershy her wings back. "Game's over, my little friends!" Discord said, pointing at everyone. "You didn't find your precious Elements!" He said. He made an umbrella appear, and it was upside down. "Looks like we might be due for a big old storm of CHAOS!" He said, lightning bolts flying everywhere. Discord cackled. Gohan set the boulder down, flew up to his dragon face and punched it. Discord walked back a few steps and made his inside out umbrella disappear. "It seems you have challenged me. Very well." Discord said. Gohan flew at him again, carrying two ki blasts. "Gohan, no!" Twilight yelled. Gohan stopped to look back at Twilight. Discord used this to shoot a blast of fire at Gohan. Gohan received the full blast, which didn't do much damage or knockback except for ruin his gi with cuts and gunk. During all of this, the rest of the Mane 6 were all in an argument. "Ha, ha!" Fluttershy kept repeating. "STOP IT!" Pinkie Pie yelled. "No, haha ha ha, ha!" Fluttershy said. Rarity was protecting her 'diamond'. Applejack stepped beside it. "Hey Rarity? Twilight said we should split this 'diamond' seven ways since we, found it together." She said. Rarity kicked Applejack away. "Don't try, punk! He's mine, ALL MINE!" She said before charging at Applejack with a barrage of attacks. "Girls, why are you guys acting like this!?" Twilight asked. "We need to stick together!" She added. Gohan and Discord were evenly matched. As a result, ki and magic flew everywhere. Gohan appeared behind Discord and performed a double axe handle. Discord teleported before he reached the ground and appeared behind Gohan. He used an explosive spell on Gohan, sending him flying towards the ground. Gohan recovered, landing gently on the ground. At this point, he had minor cuts on his arms and face and his orange shirt was partially ripped off. "It seems you and I are very evenly matched! This is fun." Discord said. "Not for long." Gohan said, turning Super Saiyan. "W-What? You only... CHANGED YOUR MANE! Hahahah!" Discord laughed. Gohan smirked, and punched Discord in the stomach in an instant. Discord stopped laughing, and realized how much stronger Gohan was than him. He recoiled and bent over, grabbing his elongated stomach. He teleported beside Twilight. "Our game must end for now, this has been true entertainment." He said. Discord snapped his fingers to create a dark clone of Gohan, who he sent to fight. "What the heck?" Gohan asked. The clone was already a Super Saiyan. "Stop it, Discord! You're not playing fair!" Twilight yelled. Gohan had to deal with a random weaker, but substantially powerful clone of himself. The clone charged at Gohan, and Gohan charged at him. The battle started with a clash of fists and kicks. So, he was occupied with that. "Not fair? Perhaps we haven't met! I'm Discord, the spirit of chaos, and disharmony? Hello?" Discord asked. "How are we supposed to find the Elements of Harmony when you took away the labyrinth before we could get to the end!?" Twilight asked. "Oh wait, did you?-" Discord said, sitting on a random couch he summoned before laughing. "Oh, how funny! You thought the Elements were IN the labyrinth!?" He asked. He took Twilight back in time to remind her of what Discord said. "Twists and turns of my matter plan, then find the Elements, back where you began." The past Discord said. He took Twilight back to the present. "I never SAID that they were in the labyrinth!" Discord said, walking away. "B-But... But!" Twilight said. "Keep trying, Twilight Sparkle. Maybe the 'magic of friendship' can help you! Now if you'll excuse me, I have some chaos to reek!" Discord said, snapping his fingers and teleporting away. During all of this, Gohan and his dark clone were battling. Gohan and his clone threw many more punches and kick at each other. There was a ton of blocking, parrying and actually landed hits. The dark clone kicked Gohan multiple times before kicking him down to the ground. He charged up a tremendous blast and fired at Gohan. Gohan took the blast head on, and received quite some damage. But, he wasn't done yet! Gohan landed gently on the ground, flew up to his dark clone, and grabbed him by the leg. He spun his dark clone around many times. Eventually, he threw him up even further and fired a full power Kamehameha at him. This attack ultimately killed, and destroyed the clone. Gohan was pretty exhausted. His gi was in pretty bad shape, plus he had a few cuts, scapes and bruises. Especially the small gash in his shoulder. Gohan sat down, panting. "A-Are you alright, Gohan?" Twilight asked. "Y-Yeah.... I'll be... I'll be fine." Gohan said, looking to his side. Then, the cotton candy clouds returned, and they rained chocolate milk again. "Chocolate milk!?" Pinkie Pie asked. "I hate chocolate milk!" She exclaimed. "They have definitely gone insane." Gohan said. "Ugh, think Twilight, think!" Twilight said, thinking as hard as she could. Rarity was carrying her boulder, and Applejack jumped on it. "Don't touch my gem!" Rarity said. Fluttershy flew by. "I'm touching your gem, ha, HA!" She said, touching Rarity's gem. "What are YOU laughing at!?" Pinkie Pie yelled. Twilight groaned. "I just want to go home! Wait a minute... Home! Back where you began!" Twilight said. "Do you think that's where those elements are?" Gohan asked. "Yes, let's all go!" Twilight said.
Discord's Return Pt. 4Gohan and the Mane 6 returned to Ponyville. It was a disaster! Pieces of the earth were flying, there was crazy weather and animal hybrids, buildings were upside down, those cotton candy clouds, and all sorts of random things! "Come on! I'm certain this is what Discord meant!" Twilight said, trotting away. Soon after, Angel and a bunch of bunnies with horse legs trampled Twilight. "Oh good boy Angel! Mama's so proud!" Fluttershy said as she smirked. "Fluttershy, why are you so mean?" Gohan asked. "Because YOU'RE so dumb, Gohan." Fluttershy mocked. "A-Again, why are you saying stuff like that...?" Gohan asked. "Go away, you freak!" Fluttershy said, trotting away from Gohan. "Oh... Alright." Gohan said, saddened. The sun fell, and the moon rose in an instant. The ground was flooded with soap. "Wow! I can see much better!" Applejack said sarcastically while trying to move. She ended up slipping, and knocking into Rarity, Fluttershy, and then Pinkie. They all fell flat on their faces. She stopped at Gohan, though. He didn't budge. "Uh, I meant to do that." Applejack lied. Twilight tried to get up, but the floor was so slippery that she fell again. Then the sun rose again in an instant. "Discord's turned our roads into SOAP!" Twilight exclaimed. Discord was nearby, sliding across the soap. "Beautiful, isn't it?" He said. He pointed at the disaster called Ponyville. "This is the new and improved Ponyville! And these are some of my FIRST changes..." he said. Gohan flew at him, holding a ki blast. Discord snapped his fingers and another dark Gohan clone appeared. "You're kidding..." Gohan muttered, turning Super Saiyan. Now an injured and tired Gohan had to fight against himself again. Pinkie Pie was sliding across the soap roads. "This may seem like fun... BUT it really isn't!" She exclaimed. "Now... Where were we? Oh yes, picture it!" Discord said, holding Twilight up. "The chaos capital of the world!" He exclaimed, as the sun went down and the moon rose again. "I can't picture it. It's too dark!" Twilight said. Discord dropped Twilight. An explosion of ki occurred near Discord and Twilight. Gohan had killed his clone... Again. Discord sighed and snapped his fingers again. This time, TWO more clones appeared. "Oh come on!" Gohan exclaimed, powering up. The two clones charged at Gohan, and they battled AGAIN. "Well, wait a few minutes and you'll see it in the beautiful light of day! Or not." Discord said, teleporting away. "Ponyville? The chaos capital of the world!? Not if I have anything to say about it!" Twilight exclaimed. Fluttershy was sliding across the soap road. "Don't worry!... You won't." She mocked, smirking. Gohan fired a second Kamehameha, killing the second clones... Again. Gohan floated back down to the ground and reverted back to his base form. He was REALLY exhausted now. In fact the whole orange shirt was ripped off, and blood dripped down his face and arms. "Oh my gosh, Gohan! Are you alright?" Twilight asked. "I-I don't know... Do you... Do you have a healing spell?" Gohan asked, groaning in pain. "Oh, you poor little thing!... Not." Fluttershy mocked, sliding away. "I'm going to try my best to ignore those, but it's harder than it looks." Gohan said. "Ugh, I know. Anyway, I have one back at the library, let's get there!" Twilight said, sliding away. *** Gohan flew overhead as 5 of the Mane 6 walked to Twilight's library. Twilight groaned. "Alright, we're here! Now everyone please, please, please just go inside, please!" She said. Applejack trotted inside. "I absolutely refuse!" She said, suddenly turning even darker. Fluttershy was flying. "With pleasure." She said, suddenly taking down a potted plant and stomping all over it. She turned even darker. Pinkie Pie trotted in. "I hate libraries!" She yelled. Rarity was trying to carry her boulder in. "I-I'll carry it if you c-can't do it, Rarity." Gohan said. "NO!" Rarity exclaimed. "Please!" Twilight said. "We gotta hurry!" She said. "Forget it, Twilight! I know what you're up to... The second I go in! You'll have your little minion Spike come in and take Tom!" Rarity shouted. "Tom?" Gohan and Twilight asked. "Well it's NOT going to work!" Rarity said, suddenly turning even darker. "You're not going in without him, are you." Twilight asked. Rarity shook her head. Gohan lifted the boulder with the little strength he had left. "Just get in!" Gohan yelled angrily, hurling the rock into the library. *** Spike was inside, napping on the floor next to a mop and a bucket full of water. Fluttershy took the bucket and dumped it all over Spike. Spike jolted awake, and shook the water off of him. "What'd you do that for, Fluttershy!?" He asked. Fluttershy had an evil smirk on her face. "Because you just look so peaceful!" She mocked. "I-Uh... Huh?" Spike asked, confused. "Here comes Tom!" Gohan yelled. Then, 'Tom' burst through the wall. "Careful, Gohan! Don't want to ruin his finish!" Rarity said. Gohan groaned. "For the love of..." Twilight said. "Twilight, what's going on? Why does everyone look so grey?" Spike asked. "Don't ask." Twilight said, carrying Spike on her back. "I need you to help me find two things." Twilight said, trotting into the library through the hole Gohan made. "Hey Twilight! What's soaking wet and clueless?" Fluttershy asked. "Fluttershy, I've had just about enou-" Twilight said before being splashed with water. "Your face!" Fluttershy mocked, putting the bucket on Twilight's face. "Fluttershy, stop it already!" Gohan said. "What are you going to do, change your stupid mane?" Fluttershy mocked. Gohan remained silent from there on forward. Well, towards Fluttershy at least. "What's going on with everyone!?" Spike asked. Applejack trotted past Spike. "I think you've brought out the worst in us, Spike." She said. "Why are you blaming Spike? He didn't even do anything!" Gohan said. "Yeah. Exactly." Fluttershy sneered, Gohan grunted angrily. Twilight was looking through her library. "We need to find a reference guide to the Elements of Harmony before SOMEONE does something they'll regret!" She said. "Oh, and a healing spell." She added. "The Elements of Harmony? I know exactly where that book is! And I know the healing spell too!" Spike said, climbing up his ladder and getting the two books. "Found them!" Spike said, holding two books. Fluttershy threw a scroll at Spike, causing him to drop the books. She caught the two books and carried them in the air. "Ha!" Fluttershy said. "Fluttershy!" Twilight growled. "You better give me that book!" She said. "Keep away!" Fluttershy said, throwing the books to Applejack. "Applejack! Give me those books!" Twilight said. "I don't have any book." Applejack said, tossing them to Pinkie, who tossed them again. "Pinkie!" Twilight yelled. Fluttershy caught the books again. "You guys!" Twilight yelled. Fluttershy threw the books to Applejack again. Twilight chased after the book again, again and again. Rarity took the book this time, and eventually Twilight was brawling against everyone else. After the brawl, Twilight finally had the book. "All of you, stay back! This is MINE!" Twilight yelled. Spike used a scroll as a baton. The others were slowly trotting up to her. This was the boiling point for Gohan. It was so much so that he just screamed, screamed and turned Super Saiyan. He stood in between Twilight and the others. This caused everyone to stop. "FOR GOODNESS' SAKE! Let her keep the damn book or I'll blast you without any kind of hesitation!" Gohan yelled, holding a ki blast in his palm. "That's a load of hooey!" Applejack said. Gohan yelled in anger, kicking Applejack, knocking her to the wall. "DOES THAT SOUND LIKE HOOEY TO YOU!?" Gohan screamed. Everyone REALLY stopped moving this time. Applejack rubbed the place Gohan hit. Her chest, mainly. Twilight opened the book to the healing spell, and performed it on Gohan. It only healed Gohan up to half of his strength. "Thanks." Gohan said. "It's the most I can do at the moment." Twilight said. "Just find your element thingy." Gohan said. Twilight opened the book for the Elements of Harmony. She gasped. "The Elements! They're right here!" Twilight exclaimed. "This is great! Now you guys can defeat Discord!" Spike said. Twilight closed the book. "See? We found the Elements of Harmony together!" Twilight exclaimed. Applejack was laying against the wall, Fluttershy was playing with Pinkie Pie's hair, Pinkie Pie sat there with and angry face, and Rarity was polishing 'Tom'. "You guys don't really care, do you." Twilight said. They said: "No." Gohan reverted back to his base form. "I'm sorry I did that... My anger got the best of me again." He said, bowing his head. "It's alright, Gohan." Spike said. "I thought it would never happen... My friends..." Twilight said, with a sad face. "TURNED INTO COMPLETE JERKS!" She yelled, with an angry face this time. Twilight used her magic to put the necklaces on each pony. "And the big giant crown." She said, putting her crown on. "Let's go!" Twilight said. "Aren't we missing someone?" Spike asked. "No, we got the liar, the grump, the hoarder, and the brute!" Twilight said. "I'm talking about Rainbow Dash!" Spike said. "Congratulations Spike! You're the new Rainbow Dash." Twilight said, putting the necklace on Spike. "Let's go!" She exclaimed, trotting away. "B-But what if she finds out I'm impersonating her!? That won't end well." Spike said. "Too bad, you're Rainbow Dash. Now let's all go talk to Discord so we don't have to ever talk to each other AGAIN!" Twilight said, trotting away. Applejack, Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy all ran after Twilight. They all trampled Spike. Rarity was pushing her big boulder. Gohan groaned. "Here, let me hold it." He said, carrying 'Tom' again. Gohan threw it out the same hole again, making it land right next to Pinkie Pie. "Well, well, well! I see you've found the Elements of Harmony." Discord said. As soon as Gohan stepped out of the library, Discord snapped his fingers to summon another 3 clones. Gohan took a deep breath. The stress was really getting to him. He went Super Saiyan and battled again. "Yes, anyhow! How terrifying!" Discord mocked. "Discord! I've figured out your lame riddle! You're in for it now!" Twilight said. "I certainly am. You've clearly outdueled me, and it's now time to meet my fate." Discord said sarcastically, putting sunglasses on. "I'm prepared to be defeated now, ladies. Fire when ready!" He said, making a target appear on his chest. "Formation, now!" Twilight yelled. Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Rarity and Fluttershy all groaned as they got into formation. "Rainbow Dash, get out here!" Twilight yelled. Spike was hiding behind 'Tom'. He ran up to the formation. "Alright, let's get this over with." Twilight said. Her crown glowed, with caused winds to appear. The other ponies except Spike were all floating. A light shone, but it just didn't work. The light stopped, and everyone fell on their faces. "What?" Twilight asked. "Mine's okay, it must be YOURS that doesn't work!" Applejack said. "I hate the Elements of Harmony!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed. Fluttershy just tossed hers aside. "Garbage." She said. Rarity took Fluttershy's necklace. "MINE!" She exclaimed. "Sorry Twilight." Spike said, leaving his necklace by Twilight. He started walking away. "I better get back upstairs and clean the library. Good luck with your-" He said before being tripped by Fluttershy's tail. "Oops. Sorry Rainbow CRASH!" Fluttershy mocked. "Is there anyone else willing to take a shot?" Discord asked. "JUST ONE!" Gohan yelled, in his base form. He had one hand over the other on his forehead. A yellow ball of ki could be seen. "MASENKO!" He yelled, blasting Discord with everything he had left. Discord took the blast head on. It damaged him a little bit. It gave him a few scratches. "Oh my, it seems you have damaged me." Discord said. Gohan could barely stand anymore. He put as much as he had left into his blast. Discord snapped his fingers, summoning a fire blast at Gohan. Gohan braced for impact, crossing his arms in front of him. A huge explosion ensued. After the fire had died down, Gohan was nowhere to be seen. "Oh well, he's out of the picture." Discord said. He began to clap and walk around. "Bravo, ponies! Bravo! Harmony in Equestria is officially dead! Especially your hero. Discord rules, Celestia drools!" He said before sliding away and laughing madly. Twilight stood there, shocked. "G-Gohan... Dead?" Twilight asked.
Discord's Return Pt. 5Twilight looked all over where Discord had hit. "No, nononono!" Twilight kept repeating. "Aw, too bad! The freak's dead." Fluttershy mocked, laughing afterward. "Fluttershy, you... Are so mean!" Twilight exclaimed. "I'm outta here!" Pinkie Pie yelled, hopping away. "I better get back to the farm. I got new, better friends there!" Applejack said, trotting away. Rarity was pushing 'Tom' back to her boutique. "Yeah, I'm sick of hanging with LOSERS." Fluttershy said, flying away. "Fine!" Twilight called. "I don't need you! With friends like you, I don't... Need...." Twilight stopped. "Enemies." She said, turning dark. A very loud roar could be heard from inside the library. Twilight hadn't bothered to check it. She trotted around Ponyville, which was turning into an even worse disaster. The bunnies had horse legs, buffalos were ballerinas all of a sudden, ponies walked in midair, pies are flying, and a cotton candy cloud raining chocolate milk followed a very depressed Twilight. Discord appeared next to Twilight, laughing. "Oh, ho! My stomach!" He said, beginning to walk alongside Twilight. "Twilight, you have GOT to see what I just did!" Discord said, pointing at a scene. A giant pepper shaker was pouring pepper on a pony, which made her sneeze. After the sneeze, the houses all fell down like cardboard. Discord was laughing like a little boy. "Priceless!" He said. Finally, he noticed Twilight's depressing mood. Discord teleported in front of Twilight with a cotton candy cone, and put the cotton candy cloud on it. "Come on, get into the spirit of things! After all, this is your new home!" He said, eating some of the cotton candy. Twilight looked at her 'home'. "Not anymore." She said, trotting away, towards the library. "Yes!" Discord shouted, claiming victory. "With the Elements and that nuisance of a child out of the way, I'VE WON! Hahahaha!" He laughed, teleporting away. *** "G-Gohan! You're alive!" Spike exclaimed, seeing a very injured and tired Gohan. "A book fell on my shoulder, UGH!" Gohan exclaimed. Gohan survived the fire blast. He ran into the library as the explosion occurred. No one happened to notice. He roared when the book fell on him. "Oh man, we need Twilight for that healing spell, and fast!" Spike said. "I know it's rude, but would you happen to have something to eat?" Gohan asked. "Uh..." Spike said, scanning his surroundings. He saw a cotton candy cloud right by the door, so hey! He went and got it. "Here's something." Spike said, handing the huge cotton candy cloud to Gohan. Gohan chowed down on the cloud instantly. "I forgot your... Appetite." Spike said. "Thanks..." Gohan said. Spike burped up a message from Celestia. Little did they know, the cotton candy clouds had a neat perk. Slowly, but surely, they were healing Gohan's wounds. First internally, then externally. Gohan soon got up, examining himself. "How are you standing again?" Spike asked, before burping another message. Gohan examined one of his wounds. They were healing! "I... I'm healing?" Gohan asked. "No way. You were just being fried a minute ago!" Spike exclaimed. "No, seriously! Look!" Gohan said, showing Spike one of his healing wounds. It was his shoulder. "What the heck!?" Spike exclaimed, before burping a ton more messages. "Again, what the heck!" Spike exclaimed. The sun fell and the moon rose again. Twilight came in through the door, dark and depressed. "Pack your things Spike, we're- Gohan?" Twilight asked. Gohan turned around. "Hey! You- Oh man, not you too!" He said. "What difference does it make." Twilight said, trotting upstairs. "It makes a huge difference!" Gohan said. "Twilight! Cotton candy healed Gohan!" Spike exclaimed, burping another message. "This is really starting to hurt..." Spike said. "I don't care!" Twilight said, packing a suitcase. "Don't ask where we're going, Spike. I don't know yet. Just not here." She said. Twilight dumped her crown in the trash can. Gohan flew up to Twilight. "Twilight, you can't just give up like this!" He said. Spike burped another message from Celestia. "Dang it!" He yelled. "I can. There's nothing we can do." Twilight said. "But you'll doom this world if you don't-" "SHUT UP!" Twilight yelled. A very awkward silence ensued. Well, until Spike burped again. "Why!?" He yelled. "Just go." Twilight said. Gohan didn't move for a few minutes. Spike burped another message. He groaned very loudly. Eventually he spoke up. "Fine." He said. Gohan flew out of the library through the hole he made. He made sure to keep a low profile in case Discord was around. *** Gohan made it home, and entered the shack. He sat on his bed, confused, angry and tired. "Did I just lose my best friends?...." Gohan asked himself. Gohan was tossing and turning, not trying to sleep but trying to figure out how to defeat Discord. He was drawing up a plan in his head. "If I'm seen, he'll just spawn clones..." Gohan said to himself. "Dang it, I can't do it!" Gohan exclaimed. "What would dad do?" Gohan asked. "Your dad would help you, Gohan." Goku said, from Other World. Gohan jolted into a sat up position. "D-Dad?" He asked. "Gohan, you have the power to defeat him! You know that!" Goku called. "B-But he'll keep spawning clones, and I won't be able to touch him!" Gohan said. "Gohan, he won't beat you if you unleash your rage! You have to do it again!" Goku called. "Y-You mean... What I did against Cell!?" Gohan asked. "Yes. His clones won't get to you if you unleash your hidden potential, Gohan!" Goku called. "You're right!" Gohan said. Gohan quickly changed into a fresh gi, one that wasn't ruined. Gohan tightened the belt. "Thanks, dad!" He said. "Good luck, Gohan. I'm cheering for you." Goku called. Gohan flew to where he could sense Discord. He was going to end it, once and for all! His friends turning on him, his past and Discord fueled him with rage. Gohan was ready. But can he unleash it again? *** "Twilight, make it stop...." Spike said, burping another message from Celestia. Twilight used her magic to view one of the messages. "These are the messages I've sent to her!" Twilight said. Spike groaned as he tried to get up. "Why would she send them back?" Twilight asked. Twilight read out the many messages she sent to Celestia, all about friendship. While doing this, she was being purified, regaining her colors again. "Spike, I've figured it out!" Twilight said, using her magic to pick Spike up. She rubbed her face against Spike's, who was groaning. "Discord's been distracting us from what's important!" Twilight said, hopping around in a circle. She used her magic to carry Spike around it too. "He knows how powerful our friendship is, and he's been trying to keep us from seeing it!" Twilight said. At this point, Spike trying not to throw up. Finally, it stopped. "Do you remember what I said the first day we arrived in Ponyville?" Twilight asked. She stopped using her magic and held Spike in her hooves. "I said the future of Equestria didn't rest on me making friends! The opposite is true!" She said, throwing Spike aside. "The friendships I've made here are what have saved Equestria from Nightmare Moon! And... a little bribe, I guess. And now we need to save it from Discord!" Twilight said, stomping her hoof and putting Spike to bed. "I've got to fight for my friendships, for them! For me! For Equestria!" Twilight exclaimed. Spike was groaning in pain. "Oh... I'll take care of Equestria myself, you can go rest." Twilight said, leaving Spike to be. Spike burped out another message from Celestia. Then, from there, Twilight was on her quest to reverse and purify the rest of the Mane 6. *** Outer Parts of Ponyville "Discord!" Gohan yelled. Discord sat upon his throne, sipping chocolate milk. As soon as he saw Gohan, he spat out his milk. "You? I thought you were dead?" He said. "Far from it. Let's settle this!" Gohan yelled, turning Super Saiyan. The zenkai boost from the last encounter increased Gohan's power immensely. Discord snapped his fingers to create two clones for Gohan to fight. "Give me some entertainment, why don't you?" He said, spawning popcorn and sunglasses. Gohan flew at his clones, who flew at him. The two clones attempted to hit Gohan on both sides with their punches. Gohan flew up to dodge this, and flew behind one of the clones to deliver a heavy punch. It went through it's body. The punch caused the clone to die by turning into dust and disintegrating. "Hm... This will be problematic." Discord said, snapping his fingers. Four more clones appeared. Gohan was just finished killing the other clone with a heavy roundhouse kick. He saw the incoming clones. He simply grunted and flew at them. Two of the clones all knocked Gohan away with a kick and a punch. The other clones attempted to kick Gohan back to the first two, but Gohan flew up to avoid it. Gohan threw two powerful ki blasts, which successfully killed two clones. Discord snapped his fingers, spawning ten more clones. He was eating the popcorn by the bagful. Gohan landed and saw the monstrous wave of clones coming after him. "Kamehameha!" He yelled, firing the Kamehameha wave. This killed four of the clones. The rest were still charging at Gohan. Gohan was overwhelmed by eight of his clones, and received eight dropkicks. Gohan recovered before flying too far away, using his hand and feet to stop his momentum. Discord had spawned fifty more clones in the meantime. Fifty-eight clones cornered Gohan. He had no way of running now. One clone flew at Gohan, attempting to kick him. Gohan dodged and performed a double axe handle on the clone, killing it. Another clone performed a full nelson on Gohan, preventing him to move effectively. Gohan struggled trying to get out of it. Two more clones blasted Gohan. The blast ended up killing the clone holding Gohan, but at least did some damage to him. Gohan's gi was ripped up a little bit. Gohan grunted as he performed an attack similar to Piccolo's, the Super Explosive Wave. He put his hands on opposite shoulders. He bent his knees and grunted very loudly. He glowed yellow, then let his arms and legs fly out freely! He yelled throughout it all. A huge yellow explosion ensued. This killed all of the clones, at the cost of some stamina. Discord snapped his fingers yet again, and this time five hundred clones appeared. "DAMN YOU!" Gohan yelled as he powered up. Gohan flew at the horde, killing as many as he could. However, this endless bout took a toll on Gohan, and he began to lose heavily. The clones knocked Gohan back and forth, further ruining his gi and depleting his energy. Gohan was probably going to die, he couldn't stay as a Super Saiyan. "Wowee! What a show, child." Discord said. Gohan was being held by his clones. Discord flew to Gohan. "Such bravery... It was fun to have you here, Gohan. I know that because I know you now, so we're like best friends. Anyway, time to die." Discord said, making a powerful, unknown form of magic appear in his lion paw. Discord was ready to throw it at Gohan. "GOHAN!" A very similar voice yelled.
Discord's Return Pt. 6Discord was struck by an unknown source. Whatever it was, it was powerful. It even killed all of the clones. Gohan was in hooves... Or arms, actually. Who was this mysterious source? How did it harm Discord? Was it the Mane 6? He opened his eyes to see no other than his late father. "D... Dad?..." Was all Gohan could muster at the moment. "Gohan. You can't let your anger go, unleash it! It's the only way!" Goku said. "D-Dad..." Gohan said. "Son, I know you can do this. Now make me proud!" Goku said, suddenly disappearing. Gohan closed his eyes yet again. Until he fell on the ground, that is. Gohan opened his eyes. "He believes me... I can..." Gohan said as he stood up. "What was that just now?" Discord asked. "That was my father." Gohan called to Discord. "And you forgot ONE thing, Discord!" Gohan yelled. Gohan channeled of his anger towards Discord, his friends and his past to power up immensely. He yelled to no bounds. An explosion of yellow aura ensued, terrorizing Discord. After it died down, a huge dust covered Gohan. You could see lightning sparks around the unseen Gohan. After the dust disappeared, it revealed Gohan. Gohan was different. His hairstyle had changed too, with all of his hair spiking up, and about 20 strands of it dropping down. It looked bizarre. "I'm my father's son." Gohan said. Gohan was now a Super Saiyan 2! Discord was scared, and that's rare. He snapped his fingers to form hundreds of clones. They all darted towards Gohan, but they suddenly stopped. Gohan had moved from where he stood originally to behind the horde. The entire horde disintegrated. "W-What is this!?" Discord yelled. He was about to teleport away, but Gohan had punched him in the elongated stomach by then. He knocked Discord back into his throne with a powerful kick. "KAMEHAMEHA!" Gohan yelled as he fired a full power Kamehameha wave at Discord. In his Super Saiyan 2 form, no less. Discord screamed in agony as the Kamehameha slowly but surely turned him into stone. A huge blast could be seen across the horizon! After the Kamehameha died down, the smoke and dust slowly died as well. Gohan floated back to the ground. "I did it, dad." He muttered. He ended it in an instant. *** "Alright, now lets go challenge D-" Twilight said before noticing the huge Kamehameha wave being blasted across the horizon. "What the heck!?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Is that...?" Twilight asked. "Gohan?" Fluttershy asked. "D-Didn't he die?" She asked. "No, he survived." Twilight said. "Oh no! I need to go apologize to him!" Fluttershy added instantly. "Let's all go, dang it! He could be in trouble!" Rainbow Dash said. The Mane 6 had been purified again. They were ready to wield the Elements of Harmony again. They rushed to where Gohan was. *** Gohan stared at the stone Discord. 'I guess he can't die.' Gohan thought to himself. He sensed six power levels approaching. At that time, Equestria had finally begun to reverse the chaos Discord caused. 'Finally...' Gohan thought. "Gohan!" The Mane 6 yelled. "Are you o-" Twilight asked before seeing the Super Saiyan 2, and the stone Discord. Gohan slowly took a look behind his shoulder. His new look scared the Mane 6. He turned to them. "G-Gohan? What happened?" Twilight asked. "I took care of Discord." Gohan said. Gohan's gaze alone scared the Mane 6, and the lightning around him made it worse. "A-Are you alright?" Fluttershy asked. Gohan stared. He was a little surprised that Fluttershy wasn't acting mean again. "G-Gohan?" Pinkie Pie asked. "We're sorry for being jerks, can you forgive us all?" Rainbow Dash asked. ... Gohan just gave them the silence. "...We understand..." Fluttershy said, sadness evident. "Yeah, I'm sure you do. You were under some sort of spell." Gohan said. That kind of lifted the hopes. "So...? You're...!?" Twilight asked. Gohan smiled. "I'm glad to." He said. The Mane 6 all hugged Gohan. Though from our point of view it looks like a badass being hugged by horses. "Oh how DID you change your mane like that?" Rarity asked. "...Anger." Gohan said. "A-Anger?... Oh my..." Fluttershy said. "It's not the first time. Don't worry." Gohan said. "S-So... We didn't need the Elements this time?" Rainbow Dash asked. Gohan broke the group hug. "I need you guys to keep this a secret." Gohan said, reverting back to his base form. "Excuse me?" Applejack asked. "Sorry... But I don't want anyone to know I did this." Gohan said, pointing at Discord. "Why not? You'd be applauded for your awesomeness!" Rainbow Dash said. "I don't want any of that... Just tell everyone that you guys stopped Discord." Gohan said. "WHAT!?" Applejack asked. "B-But why?" Pinkie Pie asked. "I don't want to be noticed by everyone." Gohan said. "Good job my little ponies!" Celestia said, flying down. "What? Princess Celestia?" Twilight asked. "You all defeated Discord with the Elements of Harmony after rediscovering your friendship!" Celestia said. "Well actually-" Rainbow Dash said before Gohan stuck his hand on her mouth. "Yep! It was all them!" Gohan said with a grin and closed eyes. "You assisted as well, didn't you?" Celestia asked. "I tried. Only got a scratch on him." Gohan said. "Well, you shall be honored for attempting." Celestia said. "Uh... Can you not let anyone know?" Gohan asked. "Why not?" Celestia asked. "I'm already featured in that stained glass... I don't want anything else." Gohan said. "Well... It may be unorthodox... But I shall indulge. Congratulations, we will hold a ceremony in Canterlot!" Celestia said. *** There was a huge celebration at Canterlot. The Mane 6 were honored for destroying evil yet again. Gohan stood in the crowds, smiling the entire time. "We are gathered here today to once again to honor these six, who stood up to Discord, and saved Equestria from eternal chaos!" Celestia pronounced. The ponies cheered. Celestia revealed a new glass window. One that shocked many, including Gohan. Gohan was the one who stopped Discord in the glass. In his Super Saiyan 2 form. The crowds went silent. The Mane 6 were all shocked. "W-Who is that!?" A pony asked. "I believe we are due an explanation from somepony in the audience." Celestia said. 'No...' Gohan thought. "Son Gohan, please come up here." Celestia said. "Who's that?" Many ponies asked. Twilight was afraid for Gohan for... Wait, what? Lying about not being the hero...? Sounds reasonable for the death penalty, I'm sure you'll agree. Gohan stepped up to Celestia. "This is the one who stopped Discord." Celestia said. The audience was shocked. "WHAT!?" The crowds asked. Gohan was scared. "H-How did you..." He asked. "I witnessed your bout with Discord." Celestia said. "But he don't look like that pony in the glass!" A pony called out. "It's because he has transformed. As a reward for his heroic deeds, Son Gohan will be issued a ticket to the Grand Galloping Gala!" Celestia declared. The ponies clapped slowly, then began to cheer. "W-Wait!" Gohan said. Everyone stopped. "I... I don't want this reward." Gohan said. "WHAT!?" The audience yelled. "Why not? You rid Equestria of this evil!" Celestia called. "I... I don't want to receive praise for this. I have to credit them for allowing me to tap into my hidden potential." Gohan said, pointing at the Mane 6. "Gohan?" Twilight asked. "Without them, and another great source, I would not have been able to do that. Please, give them the reward. I am not worthy." Gohan said. Gohan even surprised Celestia with his request. "W-Well... I suppose I shall reward Twilight Sparkle and her friends... I also suppose I shall reward you with necessary currency..." Celestia said. "I-I..." Gohan said. "Please, Son Gohan. You will receive a ticket to the Gala, plus one. And a hefty reward of five thousand bits." Celestia said. "W-What!? W-Wait, I don't know about that!" Gohan said, sticking his arms out and shaking hands. "Take it!" A pony yelled. "Now, Gohan." A very similar voice said. Gohan's pupils dilated as soon as he heard the voice. He turned around to see... Goku. He had a halo. "You deserve this reward." Goku said. "Who are you?" Celestia asked. "Dad!?" Gohan asked. "Dad!?" Everyone, and I mean every single pony asked. "DAD!" Gohan yelled, running up to him and giving him a tackle hug. "T-That's Gohan's father!?" The Mane 6 asked. "Hey there, Gohan!" Goku said, hugging Gohan back. "Sir, what is your name." A royal guard called. "I'm Son Goku! You can just call me Goku." Goku said. "Darling, you must be an angel! You have a halo!" Rarity said. "That just means I'm dead." Goku chuckled. "What!?" Twilight and Celestia asked. "This has gone way off course, we will have a meeting at a different time." Celestia said. "I just wanted to see my son, I have to leave." Goku said. "Don't go yet...." Gohan said. "Sorry Gohan. I'll keep calling you from time to time." Goku said, patting his son. "Alright..." Gohan said, breaking the hug. "I know I've asked already, but take good care of my son for me." Goku said, putting two fingers on his forehead. "ALIENS!" A pony yelled. "W-We'll make sure of that, sir..." Applejack said. "Alright, see ya!" Goku said, teleporting back to Other World. "Gohan... Y-Your father..." Twilight said. Gohan chuckled. The event will not bode well for Gohan soon enough. *** Gohan's Shack Gohan was just about ready to go to bed. He had a long day, dealing with Discord and all. He even reached Super Saiyan 2 again. Although he was the savior, he lied about his deeds. He claimed to have done nothing, and that the Mane 6 did it. He was found out. He didn't want attention, so yeah. That's what happened. He didn't know, but many ponies who wrote the newspapers began to write about Gohan. Gohan was glad to receive five thousand bits as a reward, and the ticket for the Gala. But he feared that ponies would start talking about him after the events today. A very loud knock came from Gohan's door. Gohan opened the door to be greeted with a note. It read: "Library, Noon. Tomorrow. Why? I need to ask you some questions. Twilight Sparkle" "Uh oh..." Gohan said. Gohan knew why he was summoned. What do you think? What other wacky things will Gohan go through? Will he be able to steer away from attention?
Beginning of Gohan's Nightmare (Twilight's Questioning)Twilight's Treehouse "HOW DID YOU DO ALL THOSE THINGS!?" Twilight asked instantly. "Be quiet, please!" Gohan said. "Sorry, sorry. Just..." Twilight said, grabbing a notebook and pencil with her magic. "Tell me. You've been doing these things and I haven't asked why." Twilight said. "Okay, but hold on. Who's there!" Gohan called. "What?" Twilight asked. "There's someone else here... And it's not Spike." Gohan said. "Pinkie, get out here." He said. "P-Pinkie?" Twilight asked. Pinkie Pie crawled out of Twilight's trash can. "Awwww You caught me!" Pinkie Pie said. "H-How!?" Twilight asked. "Pinkie, I advise you leave before you get... Surprised." Gohan said. "Nopony surprises me, I surprise everypony!" Pinkie Pie said. "Plan a party. Trust me, I know when a party's going to happen." Gohan said. "You're a good joker! Anyway, bye!" Pinkie Pie said, zipping out of the treehouse. "Okay, now I need you to keep all of this under covers." Gohan said. "You have my word." Twilight said. "I... I have super abilities, as you know. I'm surprised no one asked about it yet. I expected something about aliens. Do you want to know why I have abilities?" Gohan asked. "Yes please!" Twilight said. "Remember ki?" Gohan asked. "Yes. Tell me what that is." Twilight said. "It's pretty much life force, strength, and power levels." Gohan said, holding a ball of spare ki in his hands. "It's... So weird... It isn't magic?" Twilight asked, writing notes. "It isn't magic. Well, catch!" Gohan said, tossing the ball at Twilight. Twilight was startled. "Ahh!" She yelled as the ball didn't explode, but went inside her. "W-What?" She asked. "Why do I feel stronger all of a sudden?" She asked. "I gave you some of my ki. I can use it to give others strength or harm others. Or..." Gohan said. "Kill?" Twilight asked. "Yes. I've used it so well that when I was four, I exploded a mountain." Gohan said. "WHAT!?" Twilight asked. "Yep. Don't tell Rainbow Dash this, but I'm faster than her." Gohan whispered. "N-No, she's the fastest flier in Equestria! She broke the speed of sound!" Twilight said. "Yes, her Sonic Rainboom was fast. I wasn't fazed too much. But I can... Well, go light speed." Gohan said. "Impossible." Twilight said. "You sure?" Gohan asked, appearing behind Twilight. "AHH!" Twilight screamed. "See, I can change it all I want." Gohan said. "I-Is this ki? How did you do that?" Twilight asked. "I guess it's ki. It's also because I trained seriously." Gohan said. "How are you such a good street fighter?" Twilight asked. "I'm a martial artist, wishing to be a scholar. It's definitely not street fighting." Gohan said. "How? Aren't you just throwing attacks out of nowhere?" Twilight asked. "Martial arts requires skill. It's not just throwing a punch. You need to hone your skills, have a calmed mind, and only fight when needed. When you do fight, you calculate your opponent's rhythm, distance, movements and predict what they will do. You also tend to aim for serious parts of the body, rather than blindly attacking a random part of the body." Gohan explained. Twilight wrote it all down. "Okay... Who's weaker than you?" She asked. "Hm... I was stronger than my dad in Super Saiyan... I am the only Super Saiyan 2... I'd say Discord and the princesses are weaker than me." Gohan said. "No way, the princesses are the strongest!" Twilight said. "Sorry, but I can destroy the sun, moon, and this planet." Gohan said. "Uh... A very serious claim..." Twilight said. "I don't intend to do any of that, but I also know the princesses are suppressing their strengths." Gohan said. "What?" Twilight asked. "They only show it when raising the moon and sun." Gohan said. "How can you tell?" Twilight asked. "Their kis are the strongest whenever they do it. However, when we're around them, they feel as strong as a regular pony. I do that very often." Gohan said. "You can even sense others with ki? Is that why you knew Pinkie was here?" Twilight asks. "Yeah, it's why her parties never surprise me." Gohan said. "W-What? Nobody can expect Pinkie's parties!" Twilight said. "When she pops up out of nowhere, she's usually in a trash can or behind a tarp against the wall." Gohan said. "W-What? How do you..." Twilight asked. "When she wants to surprise us with a party, there's usually many ponies in one space. That's why some of my reactions are delayed." Gohan said. "So that's why you were expressionless when she had her first surprise party." Twilight said. "Yes. Any other questions?" Gohan asked. "Yeah. How did your father visit if he's DEAD!?" Twilight asked. "I don't know the answer to that. He died twice, I can't tell you." Gohan said. "Alright... Wait, what? Twice? How'd he- You know what? Nevermind." Twilight said. "Okay. I only hope Celestia didn't give me too much attention." Gohan said, walking to the door. "Wait." Twilight said. "What?" Gohan asked. "Just... Look at this." Twilight said, grabbing a newspaper for today. It read: 'Weird Alien Defeats Discord, Refuses Reward' "That can't be good." Gohan said. "Just... Good luck. See you later." Twilight said. Gohan stepped outside Twilight's library, and instantly ran home. The good thing was, he wasn't noticed by anyone. At least he thought. Gohan cleared the skies in an instant for noon, and was home within a minute. Gohan was about to enter his shack. "Hold it right there, buster!" Rainbow Dash yelled. 'Uh oh.' Gohan thought. He turned around. Rainbow Dash was flying at Gohan. "You were fast! When were you able to do that?" Rainbow Dash asked as she landed. "Uh... I don't know. I think I just rushed." Gohan said. "I demand a race!" Rainbow Dash said. "Oh gee, I don't know Rainbow." Gohan said, scratching the back of his head. "You'd probably win." He said. "But I still have my doubts about you." Rainbow Dash said. "No, I'd rather not. It'd be a waste of time for you." Gohan said. "Fine. If you do something cool like that again, you HAVE to race me!" Rainbow Dash said. "Uh... Alright..." Gohan said. "See you around." Rainbow Dash said, flying away. "That was close..." Gohan sighed. "Excuse me!" A voice rang. Gohan looked in the distance to see a purple pony. It was Cheerilee, a school teacher at Ponyville Schoolhouse.
Gohan's Nightmare (The Terrible News, and Hope Regained)"Hello! Who are you, miss?" Gohan asked, bowing his head. "I'm Cheerilee, a schoolteacher at Ponyville Schoolhouse. I've come to ask... How old are you?" Cheerilee asked. "I'm... Twelve." Gohan said. He forgot, he doesn't have a calendar. "I thought so! You're underage!" Cheerilee said, pointing a hoof at Gohan. "U-Um... Yes?" Gohan said. "Is that a problem?" He asked. "Yes it is. You can't simply own a residence, and you must go to school!" Cheerilee said. "W-What? Are you telling me I have to go to grade school?" Gohan asked. "Yes. You need to find a different place of residence. One with an adult. The mayor of Ponyville, Mayor Mare has summoned you." Cheerilee said. "Uh... Okay... Where's Mayor Mare?" Gohan asked. "I will take you to her. Then I must return to the schoolhouse." Cheerilee said, trotting away. "Follow me." She added. 'Uh oh...' Gohan thought. *** "Mr. Son, I've summoned you here for a reason. You're underage. Also you defeated Discord, thank you very much for that." Mayor Mare said. "Uh... Yes... Can I keep my job in the sky?" Gohan asked. "I don't believe so, despite your weird ability to fly." Mayor Mare said. "W-What am I going to do!?" Gohan asked. "Firstly, you may probably keep your job as weather pony. Secondly, you must attend school at Ponyville Schoolhouse. Thirdly, you must find a different residence, one with at least one adult to take care of you." Mayor Mare said. Gohan was wide eyed. "Please tell me you're lying..." He said. "I'm afraid not." Mayor Mare said. "I want you to know that I respect you, but everypony must abide by the law." She added. "Alright... W-When do I start school?" Gohan asked. "You start... Tomorrow. Today's Monday, be at Ponyville Schoolhouse by 8:30 AM." Mayor Mare said, scanning Gohan's schedule. She handed the schedule to Gohan. "You will need this." She said. Gohan took the paper and sighed. "Oh well." He said. "Well, you may have to be at the orphanage. Your shack will be owned by the government. Here's a suitcase." Mayor Mare said, giving Gohan a small suitcase. "Take your belongings and put it inside. If you find somepony to take you in, you won't have to be at the orphanage." Mayor Mare said. Gohan had a sad look. "Alright." He said. "Have a good afternoon." He added as he left. *** Gohan went home, packed his clothes and bits and left. He flew to Twilight's Treehouse. Gohan knocked on Twilight's door. "Come in!" Twilight yelled. Gohan opened the door and entered. "Twilight, I'm in trouble." He said. "What's wrong?" Twilight asked. "I'm getting kicked out of my house, and I have to go to school. I think I lost my job, too." Gohan said. "Oh. That's not good... I can't house you, sorry." Twilight said. "I wasn't going to ask that, but do you know anyone else who can?" Gohan asked. "Maybe Applejack or Fluttershy... I don't know about them, but it's worth a shot." Twilight said. "Thanks. See you around!" Gohan said, rushing out Twilight's door. As soon as he left, he was greeted by a crowd of news reporters. "Oh no!" Gohan yelled. "Excuse me, Mr. Gohan!" "MR. GOHAN!" "WHY DID YOU REFUSE A REWARD FROM PRINCESS CELESTIA HERSELF?" "ARE YOU A MINOR?" "WHAT ARE YOU!?" "HOW DID YOU DEFEAT DISCORD?" "WERE YOU THE ONE WHO DEFEATED THE URSA MAJOR?" The ponies shouted. They were even taking pictures of Gohan, which made it worse. Gohan instantly flew up to the skies, avoiding the ponies. "GET BACK HERE! YOUR INTERVIEW ISN'T OVER!" The ponies shouted. Some of the pegasi flew up after Gohan. "Please leave me alone!" Gohan shouted. "ANSWER OUR QUESTIONS!" They yelled. Gohan sighed and used his tremendous speed to seemingly teleport away. "What!?" The ponies shouted. *** Gohan flew into Canterlot, and towards Celestia's palace. "Princess!" Gohan yelled. "Halt! State your business." The solar guard yelled, blocking the entrance. "I need the princess to help me!" Gohan said. "Oh, y-you're the one who stopped Discord, did you not?" The guard asked. "Oh no.... Yes I did, now I need to see the Princess!" Gohan said. "You've caused quite a fuss here. What rights do you have to see the princess?" The guard asked. "W-What did I do!?" Gohan asked. "There's protests all over Canterlot over you. They refuse to live among 'a hairless monkey'." The guard said. It was worse than Gohan thought. "Who is at the door?" Celestia called. "It's me! Gohan!" Gohan yelled. "Please, enter." Celestia said. The solar guard moved out of the way. Gohan rushed into the palace, and bowed to Celestia. Celestia was sitting on her throne. "What is it, Son Gohan? And why the suitcase?" Celestia asked. "Please, you have to help me. I lost my home, and for some reason I'm being chased by news reporters!" Gohan said. "I believe you lost your home due to being a minor, correct?" Celestia asked. "Y-Yes. But I really need the news reporters to high tail it!" Gohan said. "That explains your suitcase... I will most likely be unable to shield you from the media. However, many ponies in Canterlot have extreme hatred for you." Celestia said. "I heard... However, I need your help! I don't want to be praised or hated, I just want to be a regular person here!" Gohan said. "I'm afraid I will have to address the issue of race after my visit to Mostcow. I will depart now." Celestia said, trotting away. "B-But what can I do!?" Gohan asked. "I advise you try to live as a child of a family, maybe with some of your friends. They possess the ability to house a child." Celestia said. "I cannot help you with the media, and you will have to attend school." Celestia said. Gohan sighed. "Okay... Safe travels, Princess." He said. Celestia left. Gohan ran out of the palace. *** Sweet Apple Acres, Apple Orchard "What? You need a place to stay?" Applejack asked. "I'm really sorry to ask, but I'm a minor and was kicked out of my home. Please, I'll do as much farmwork as possible." Gohan said, bowing his head. "I can't deny you're the best worker... The Apple family'll have to discuss over dinner." Applejack said. "Thanks, at least I have a chance..." Gohan said. "Anyhow, I have to finish bucking the apples. Want to help?" Applejack asked. "Sure thing." Gohan said, setting his suitcase down. "I oughta take that inside for you." Applejack said, attempting to hold Gohan's small suitcase. "No wait!" Gohan said. Applejack tried to carry the suitcase with all her might, and got it a few inches off the ground. She dropped it soon after. "What's in there!?" Applejack asked. "Clothes and money." Gohan said. "What, do you have weighted clothes or something?" Applejack asked. "Uh... Yes." Gohan said, removing a single wristband. "Try holding this." He said. Gohan tossed the wristband onto Applejack's hoof. Applejack was capable of holding it, but it was difficult. "W-What's this, 10 kilos?" She asked. "15, actually." Gohan said. Applejack handed the wristband back to Gohan. "That's heavy, how heavy's that shirt there?" Applejack asked. "...One hundred." Gohan said. A silence passed. "WHAT!?" Applejack yelled as loudly as she could. "S-Shh!" Gohan said, trying to calm Applejack down. "H-How!?" Applejack asked. "I asked Rarity for heavier clothes than my dad's." Gohan said. "No, I mean... How are you moving around in that!?" Applejack asked, pointing a hoof at Gohan. "Well, the boots are 150 each. Doing the math, we have 430 kilos." Gohan said. "I-I don't know anypony who can even stand with that... Let alone walk..." Applejack said. "It's nothing, really." Gohan said. "Y-You're really amazing, defeating Discord like that..." Applejack said. "I wish nobody would talk about that... Everyone knows or can know I did it..." Gohan said. "Anyhow, let's clear this orchard." Applejack said. "Oh, I'll get that." Gohan said, slamming the ground with his fist. In an instant, every apple on every tree fell into the buckets. Applejack's mouth was agape. "Oh man, I did it again!" Gohan said. "Gohan, lad. You have a very large chance of coming into the Apple family..." Applejack said. "I shouldn't have- Wait, what?" Gohan asked. "You did this before... Didn't you?" Applejack asked. "I-I passed it off as you taking a while inside..." Gohan said. "I'm getting to know you better and better, Gohan." Applejack said. "Alright... C-Can I leave my suitcase somewhere?" Gohan asked. "I-I'll take you inside..." Applejack said, trotting inside.
Gohan's Nightmare (Dinner with the Apples)It was Dinner Time. Applejack knew of Gohan's... Special appetite. So she got extra food for Gohan. A LOT of extra food. Gohan sat in his seat, patiently waiting for dinner to arrive. Applebloom sat next to Gohan, Granny Smith was at the end, and Big Mac sat across from him. "So, I've heard you cleared the orchard with a slam..." Granny Smith said. "Um... Y-Yes, I have done that." Gohan said. "Do ya have a cutie mark in karate?" Applebloom asked. "A what in karate?" Gohan asked. "A cutie mark! You know, that mark that appears on your flank when you find your special talent?" Applebloom asked. "Uh... I don't think I'm able to receive a cutie mark. And I don't do karate." Gohan said. "But why are you wearing the gi?" Applebloom asked. "It's made to look like my father's. I am a martial artist..." Gohan said. "You're only 12?" Granny Smith asked. "I think so." Gohan said. "That's mighty impressive. What's with the weird looking blue shirt and wristbands?" Applebloom asked. "It's... Weighted clothes." Gohan said. "How heavy?" Big Mac asked. "Please don't be as surprised as Applejack was, but it's 430 kilos." Gohan said. The other ponies were wide eyed. "WOW! You must be the strongest around! Maybe stronger than Big Mac!" Applebloom exclaimed. "Eeyup." Big Mac said. "I-I don't want to brag... Don't tell anyone else." Gohan said. "How can ya move in that?" Granny Smith asked. "Can I hold one of your clothes?" Applebloom asked. "Uh... You can try my wristband... It's 15 kilos." Gohan said, handing Applebloom his wristband. "T-This is tough!" Applebloom said. Gohan took the wristband back. "It's difficult for many." He said. "You defeated that oaf, Discord with that!?" Applebloom asked. "Again... Please don't make much of a fuss about it. I mean, I am ending up in your class." Gohan said. "I-I'll try and keep it a secret, but I have to tell the other crusaders!" Applebloom said. "Can they keep secrets?" Gohan asked with a smile. "They sure can!" Applebloom chimed. "You two are getting along already!" Granny Smith said. "I guess I have a friend for school." Gohan said. "Maybe he can help us get a cutie mark in martial arts!" Applebloom said. Gohan chuckled nervously. "I-I don't know about that, heh." He said. "Now, we got some fine food here for Gohan." Applejack said, pulling a tray across the floor. It carries five regular sized plates full of vegetables and apples. There was also one huge bowl of rice. Gohan came to Applejack's aid, carrying a plate to each pony. "Aw, isn't that like a gentlecolt." Granny Smith said. "Thank you." Big Mac said. "Thanks!" Applebloom said. "Thanks for helping out, Gohan." Applejack said. Gohan finally put his giant bowl of rice on the table. "None of us like rice, so we gave it to you." Applejack said. "Oh good, I thought we were gonna share." Applebloom said. "But wait, Gohan... Does the filly eat this much?" Granny Smith asked. "He beat Pinkie in an eating contest, so we should probably get ready for 23rds." Applejack said. The others stared at Gohan "O-Oh, don't worry, I'll fast for tonight, I'll do more work for things like that." Gohan said. "Oh. Thanks, Gohan." Applejack said. "Alright everypony, dig in!" Granny Smith said. With that, Gohan was already sounding like a drill. The Apples ate slowly, staring at Gohan's appetite. Gohan didn't realize it, and within 20 seconds, he was a fourth of the way done with his bowl. "G-Gohan?" Applebloom asked. Gohan stopped. With past experience, he swallowed before answering. "Yes?" Gohan asked. "H-How do you like rice so much?" Applebloom asked. "Maybe because that's what my name means in Japanese." Gohan said. With that comment, the Apples burst into laughter. "How, how does Gohan mean rice!? Hahah!" Applejack asked. "It's Japanese." Gohan said with a smile, resuming his meal. "Are all of you able to eat this much?" Applebloom asked. Gohan stopped. "Yes and no. All Saiyans have a huge stomach, but all humans seem to eat as much as you do." He said. "Wow... An alien hybrid. That's so cool." Applebloom said. Gohan laughed and resumed his meal. "I wonder if the boy eats his veggies..." Granny Smith said. "Let's see." Applejack said, leaving the table. She was halfway done with her food. She returned with 3 bowls of vegetables. Broccoli, spinach and corn. "Nopony here loves to eat these except for the corn, but they're good for us." Applejack said, setting the three bowls beside Gohan's big bowl of rice. Gohan was finished with his bowl and already started loving the broccoli. "D-Do you like those vegetables?" Applebloom asked. Gohan finished the broccoli. "They're the best!" He said. "W-Wow, a filly who loves his veggies..." Granny Smith said. "I was surprised at him the first time I saw this." Applejack said. Gohan finished his entire meal before anyone else. "Boy, that was good!" Gohan said. "Y-You finished before us..." Big Mac said. "Thanks so much you guys." Gohan said. The rest finished up their dishes. Gohan took the plates into the kitchen, and actually cleaned them himself. "W-Whoa, you didn't need to..." Applejack said. "It's the least I could do." Gohan said. *** Before Bedtime "So... We have been deciding whether we should keep you here." Applejack said. They were all in the living room, where a few couches existed. "So... Are you guys alright with it?" Gohan asked. "Well, are you able to do your own laundry?" Applejack asked. "Sure, I can. I have been doing that." Gohan said. "Without any doubt, we will house you, Gohan." Applejack said. Gohan instantly smiled widely. The Apple Family gestured for a group hug. Gohan tackle hugged the Apple family. "Well, Gohan. You have a busy day at school with little Bloom here." Granny Smith said. "You two have fun, hehe." Applejack said, nudging Gohan. Gohan gave a half death stare half gleeful face at Applejack. "What?" She asked, breaking the hug. Gohan laughed. "If I were a pony, probably." He said. "What do you mean?" Applebloom asked, oblivious to what Applejack meant. "It's nothing." Applejack said. "Anyhow, I'll take you to your room, Gohan." She added. Gohan was placed in the same bedroom as Applebloom. They didn't really have many rooms to offer, but Gohan never minded. *** It was time for bed, Gohan washed himself and brushed his teeth with his toothbrush. He got in his small bed on the other side of the room, while Applebloom was on the other side. "Well, see you tomorrow for school." Gohan said. Applebloom was already fast asleep. Gohan slowly drifted off, but he always had aching thoughts. Some were about his past, some were about him having to live here now, and some about avoiding the media.
Gohan's Nightmare (School Pt. 1)Gohan was already up at the crack of dawn. Applejack and Big Mac were going out to the fields. Gohan followed. "Good morning." He said. This startled the siblings. "Oh, hey Gohan. You're up early." Applejack said. "I'm going to train here for a little bit, do you mind if I do that?" Gohan asked, referring to the small, flat space. "Sure thing, and if you want, you can help out in the field." Applejack said. "I'll be sure to do that." Gohan said, smiling. Gohan began his usual routine again. 10,000 Push-ups and sit-ups. Tons of punches and kicks. It took him about a half hour, but he finished. Gohan already began picking crops for Applejack and Big Mac. They were taking a small break, sitting while they watched Gohan's endless show. Gohan picked each ear of corn with speed and precision. In moments, Gohan finished picking all of the corn. "That's about enough for the morning..." Applejack said. "You sure?" Gohan asked. "Eeyup. Let's get inside for breakfast." Big Mac said. *** It was already time for Gohan and Applebloom to head out for school. Gohan tried to avoid as many ponies as possible heading there, he could be the center of attention. The classroom was full of fillies, and Cheerilee was scheduling her classes today. As they entered the Ponyville Schoolhouse classroom, two other fillies ran up to Applebloom and Gohan. It was Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle. "Hey gals!" Applebloom said. "Hey Applebloom! Who's this?" Sweetie Belle asked. "Yeah, why's he here?" Scootaloo asked. Gohan bowed his head. "I am Son Gohan, but you can just call me Gohan. Good to meet you." He said, holding out a hand. Scootaloo took the tall person's hand and shook it. "He's big." Scootaloo said. The fillies were half the size of Gohan. Cheerilee approached Gohan. "Hello, you must be... Gohan." Cheerilee said. "Yes, C- I mean, Miss Cheerilee." Gohan said, bowing his head. "Jeez, he bows his head often. Must be a karate thing." Scootaloo said. "I don't do karate, silly." Gohan said. "Well, class starts soon. You will greet everyone." Cheerilee said, trotting away to her desk. "What'd you bring for show and tell, Applebloom?" Sweetie Belle asked. "I brought a science thing about apples." Applebloom said. "W-What's show and tell?" Gohan asks. "We do it once a week, and it's a lot of fun. We show something very interesting, and the pony who wins receives no homework for the rest of the week." Scootaloo said. "That... Sounds pretty bad." Gohan said. "W-Wha?" Scootaloo asked. "Wouldn't homework be a good thing?" Gohan asked. "... Nopony here likes homework." Applebloom said. "O-Oh, sorry. I tend to like it..." Gohan said. "What? But if you're an egghead, why sport the karate uniform?" Scootaloo asked. "Well, I'm also a martial artist." Gohan said. "Yeah, he's no joke. Says he wears 430 kilos worth of clothes." Applebloom said. "That can't be real." Scootaloo said. "I think that's why my sister was so tired making them..." Sweetie Belle said. "Oh, so Rarity's your sister." Gohan said. "Yeah." Sweetie Belle said. "Tell me how you wear those! You move around like it's nothing!" Scootaloo said. Gohan removed his wristbands. "Try this." He said, handing the wristbands to Scootaloo. "W-What is this?" Scootaloo asked, struggling to keep hold of the wristbands. "They're 15 kilos each." Gohan said. "That can be so awesome for show and tell!" Scootaloo said, handing the wristbands back to Gohan. "I don't know about that..." Gohan said, putting his wristbands back on. "Wow, you must be super strong! I guess your speed won't be so great." Scootaloo said. "I guess, heheh." Gohan said. Two fillies, Snips and Snails wanted to prank Gohan. They snuck up behind him, and were about to jump up and say boo. Gohan knew they were behind him, and that they crept up slowly. He decided to pull a nice prank himself. Before Snips and Snails jumped, Gohan moved behind them in an instant. "Hey guys." He said. This startled Snips and Snails, and they screamed. "Gotcha." Gohan said, chuckling. "H-How'd you know we were..." Snips asked. Gohan had realized how he just slipped up. "J-Just a hunch." He lied. "B-But you moved so fast! You must've teleported!" Snails said. "I don't have magic." Gohan said. "I-I... What?" Snails asked. They kind of backed away from Gohan. Gohan turned back to the Cutie Mark Crusaders. "I'm sorry, where were we?" He asked. "H-How did you..." Scootaloo asked. Gohan realized how he slipped up, AGAIN. "Cough it up, Gohan. You have super speed." Applebloom said. "You caught me, heh. Just don't tell anyone?" Gohan asked. "Yeah, you're not as fast as Rainbow Dash. Not a big deal." Scootaloo said. "Y-Yeah." Gohan said. "So what are you going to show for show and tell?" Sweetie Belle asked. Gohan sighed. "I don't know, maybe my weighted clothing." He said. "How can you even move in that?" Scootaloo asked. "It strains me constantly." Gohan lied. "Oh. So you're in a ton of pain moving around in that?" Applebloom asked. "You were running all around the corn, and taking each ear off fast. How'd you do that?" She added. "I guess I'm just excited for school." Gohan lied. "Who's this? A hairless monkey?" Another filly asked. Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon just arrived to school. Gohan turned around. "Hello. My name is Son Gohan, but you can just call me Gohan. Who are you?" He asked, holding his hand out. "What? Why are you here? As show and tell?" Diamond Tiara asked before giggling with Silver Spoon. Gohan retracted his hand, knowing they are mean. "No. I came to learn. Also because I have to." He said. "Why did they even let an ape in here anyway? He knows karate!" Diamond Tiara said. "For the last time it's not- Whatever, can you leave us alone?" Gohan asked. "Yeah, he's new. Don't do that to him." Applebloom said. "Yeah, we might add him to the Cutie Mark Crusaders." Scootaloo said. "Yeah." Sweetie Belle said. Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon laughed at this. "D-Did they say something funny?" Gohan asked. "Earning your cutie mark is, sooo last week." Silver Spoon said, showing her cutie mark off along with Diamond Tiara. "That's good for you. I can't get a cutie mark but I am good at something." Gohan said. "What's that? Karate?" Diamond Tiara asked. "Close enough, its martial arts! And also trying to be a scholar." Gohan said. "What, you want to be a nerd when you grow up?" Silver Spoon asked. "Kinda, yeah." Gohan said. "I'm really confused at this, let's go." Diamond Tiara said, trotting away with Silver Spoon. "Are they usually that mean?" Gohan asked. "Yeah, they're always like that. Really lame." Scootaloo said. "I guess it's a part of school life..." Gohan said. "Students!" Cheerilee called. "We're about to start class, please take your seats." She said. Thankfully, the seats and desks were large enough for Gohan to study. Gohan sat beside Applebloom, while Scootaloo was behind Gohan's towering figure, and Sweetie Belle was behind Applebloom. "Uh, Gohan, can you move?" Scootaloo asked. Gohan realized his height problem, and immediately moved to the back of the room. Scootaloo was about to stop him, but it was for the best. Diamond Tiara would complain about it too. "Good morning, class." Cheerilee said. "Good morning Miss Cheerilee." The class, including Gohan said. "We have a new student here today. His name is Son Gohan. Gohan, can you come up here to greet the class?" Cheerilee asked. Gohan got up from his seat, and walked to the chalkboard. He faced the class, body posture perfect. "Hello. I'm Son Gohan, but you can just call me Gohan. Good to meet you!" Gohan said, bowing his head. Some of the fillies had seen Gohan in public before. "Now, Gohan, you can pick three questions from the audience." Cheerilee said. Many hooves shot up. "Uh... Alright, you." Gohan said, pointing at Pipsqueak. "Are you a master of karate?" Pipsqueak asked. "N-Not quite, but I am a martial artist." Gohan said. "Two more questions." Cheerilee said. The hooves shot up once more. "Alright... You." Gohan said, pointing at Featherweight. "Are you a monkey?" He asked. "I used to have a tail, so kinda." Gohan said. "I have an addendum to that question. How did you lose it?" Featherweight asked. "I'm not so sure myself. Sorry." Gohan said. "One more question." Cheerilee said. Hooves shot up once more. "Alright... You." Gohan said, pointing at Twist. "Aren't you the one who defeated Discord?" She asked. "U-Uh... N-No. I'm not." Gohan lied. "But you're Son Gohan?" Twist asked. "I-I think that was my dad." Gohan lied. Twist ended her questioning there. Cheerilee knew Gohan was lying. So did Applebloom. "You may sit down." Cheerilee said. Gohan did just that. "Alright, first class is mathematics. Please take out your textbooks, notebooks and homework. Gohan, I will hand you new textbooks and notebooks." Cheerilee said. The fillies all took out their homeworks, then their textbooks and notebooks. Cheerilee handed Gohan a few notebooks and textbooks. It was Mathematics, History, and Reading. "Thank you." Gohan said. Cheerilee walked up to the board and wrote down all of the problems that the students had the previous day. "Alright, class. Raise your hoofs if you know the answer to the questions." Cheerilee asked. A few fillies raised their hoofs, and Gohan raised his hand. "G-Gohan? You haven't done the homework." Cheerilee said. "I know the answers." Gohan said.
Gohan's Nightmare (School Pt. 2 and Running)"E-Excuse me?" Cheerilee asked. "C-Can I come up to the board?" Gohan asked. "Y-You may...?" Cheerilee asked, dumbfounded. The rest of the class was just as surprised. They didn't know, but Gohan was at a 12th grade level. They were doing 4th grade math, it was a joke for Gohan. Gohan took the chalk, and wrote the answer down for every single answer. "1. 6, 2. 24, 3. 5, 4. 15, 5. 27" he wrote. One of the questions happened to be the bat and ball problem. Gohan answered "The ball is 5 bits, and the bat is 105 bits." Cheerilee was shocked to see a this random student doing the homework in an instant. "Done." He said, putting the chalk down. "I-It appears you answered every single one correctly..." Cheerilee asked. Gohan smiled. "Now hold on!" Applebloom asked. "Yes, Applebloom?" Cheerilee asked. "He got number 6 wrong!" Applebloom said. Cheerilee giggled. "I expected you to say that. Who else thinks Gohan is wrong?" She asked. Every single filly in the room raised their hoof. "You're all wrong." Cheerilee said with a smile. "What!?" The entire class asked. "Gohan, care to explain?" Cheerilee asked. (Warning: Nerdy crap coming your way) "Sure. I know you all got: 'The ball was 10 bits. The bat is 100 bits.' But that's wrong. The bat is 100 bits more than the ball. If the ball were 10 bits, then the bat would be 110 bits. That's 120 bits, not 110. See, that's why the ball is 5 bits. The bat would be 105 bits, adding the ball would be 110." Gohan said. Cheerilee was pleasantly surprised by Gohan. The class was very surprised by Gohan's explanation. "S-Should I go sit down?" Gohan asked. "Y-Yes, you may..." Cheerilee said. Gohan sat down. "You see why Gohan was correct, class?" Cheerilee asked. "Yes, Miss Cheerilee." The class said. "Alright, any questions with the homework?" Cheerilee asked. No one answered. "Okay, class. Hand in your homeworks now. Except you, Gohan." Cheerilee said. After the handing in of homework, the class finally began. "Class, open your textbooks to page 42. We will sharpen our knowledge of PEMDAS today." Cheerilee said. The class, including Gohan opened their textbooks to page 42, and opened their notebooks. Cheerilee wrote a pretty long problem on the board. Gohan did the problem in his notebook in an instant. "Class, can somepony come up to the board and do this problem?" Cheerilee asked. A few hoofs, and a hand shot up. "Alright... Sweetie Belle, come up and do this problem." Cheerilee said. Sweetie Belle used her magic to use the chalk. The question was: "67 - 6 x 11 + 7" She answered: "678" "Although I commend your mental math, you are wrong." Cheerilee said. "What?" The class, except Gohan asked. "Does anyone else want a turn?" Cheerilee asked. Gohan was quick to raise his hand. "G-Gohan." Cheerilee said. Gohan came up to the board and answered: "8". "Correct." Cheerilee said. "Thank you." Gohan said. "How?" Some fillies asked. "Gohan used PEMDAS correctly, following the rules. Multiplication before adding or subtracting." Cheerilee said. Gohan went to sit down. "Okay class, I want you to do numbers 2 through 10. Show all work. If you have gone ahead, you won't receive credit. And, begin!" Cheerilee said. All of the fillies and Gohan began to do the problems. Gohan was so fast, he finished in 10 seconds. He even showed the work. He raised his hand. "Did you go ahead, Gohan?" Cheerilee asked. "No. I was at the board." Gohan said. "Hm..." Cheerilee said as she trotted to Gohan. She looked at his notes. Not only were they neat, they were all right and all of the work was shown. Cheerilee was surprised. Her face said that. "I-I... This is... Perfect!" Cheerilee said. "T-Thank you, Miss Cheerilee." Gohan said. "I-I have never seen this... Y-You did everything! A plus!" Cheerilee exclaimed. Gohan was a little surprised. "Nice job, Gohan." Cheerilee said. Gohan smiled. *** Two class periods passed. Gohan was excellent in Reading. It was time for show and tell. Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon both talked about the stock market, many fillies showed their toys, Applebloom showed the science of an apple, and Scootaloo showed something on wings. "Okay... Gohan, would you happen to have something for show and tell?" Cheerilee asked. Gohan sighed. "No." he said. "Come on, Gohan! Show them your moves!" Applebloom said. "Moves? What do you mean, Applebloom?" Cheerilee asked. 'No, no no!' Gohan thought. "He's wearing the heaviest clothes!" Applebloom said. "What?" Cheerilee asked. "Show them, Gohan!" Scootaloo said. "Yeah!" Sweetie Belle said. "H-Hang on! It's not a big deal!" Gohan said. "I believe the class wants to see it now." Cheerilee said. "Yeah!" The class said. "Sorry, but I don't feel like showing off." Gohan said. "I think Gohan doesn't want to do show and tell." Cheerilee said. "Y-Yes, please." Gohan said. "Awww!" The class said. "We will ask Gohan another time. It's dismissal, today was a half day. Everypony pack up!" Cheerilee said. All of the fillies and Gohan got up from their seats, and got ready to go home. Gohan really carried his books in one arm, while the others had a bag. *** Everyone was outside, school ended. All of the fillies cornered Gohan. "Show us your weighted clothing!" The fillies yelled. "Please, let me go home." Gohan said. "Hey! There he is!" A pony shouted. She was holding a camera, and a notepad. "Oh no..." Gohan said. She ran at Gohan. "Mr. Gohan, how did-" Gohan flew away. This left all of the fillies and two adults dumbfounded. A crowd of news reporter pegasi were flying behind Gohan. "Mr. Gohan!" One yelled. "Thanks, Krillin." Gohan muttered. He turned around, placing his hands close to the center of his face with his fingers spread toward his eyes. "SOLAR FLARE!" He yelled, flashing a blinding light at the pegasi, fillies and everypony facing him. Gohan quickly flew away, aiming for Twilight's Treehouse. *** A loud knock on Twilight's door caused Spike to nearly fall off his ladder. He opened the door to see Gohan rushing in. "Gohan? Why-" "Close the door!" Gohan interrupted. Spike did that. "Why are you here?" He asked. "My worst fear has come true, I'm becoming the center of attention!" Gohan said. "I guess that's why you were being demonized by some newspapers." Spike said, handing Gohan an issue for today. Gohan read the headline: 'Alien Refuses Interview, Suspected of World Dominaton' Gohan's face quickly turned pale. "It says: 'Defeating Discord has given us the lead that he's capable of world domination. Him and his somehow late father have made an appearance, trying to hide the fact he did this. We believe that the princesses must be informed at once. Many ponies have already protested in Canterlot, Manehattan and Hoofington. Many have defended this monster, and now violence has broke out in these cities.' I-I'm causing violence!" Gohan said. "Oh man, Twilight!" Spike yelled. Twilight came trotting down the stairs. "What is it Spike? Oh Gohan, why are you here?" She asked. Gohan showed Twilight the newspaper. "And my worst fear just came true." He said. "Oh yeah, I read that. I've sent a letter to Princess Celestia, and she wrote back voicing her support for you." Twilight said. "That, and now everyone knows about me! I had to blind them to avoid everyone!" Gohan said. "Was that the blinding flash of light?" Twilight asked. "Yeah, a friend taught me it. The princess already told me she can't do anything about the media wanting an interview, and now people are telling everyone about me!" Gohan said. "I-I will try to summon the princess for this, I can see how you're stressing out over this." Twilight said. Spike grabbed a quill and a scroll. "I'm ready." He said. "Dear Princess Celestia, Gohan is stressing out over all of the fame and conflicts he caused. He cannot remain this way, as he has resorted to blindness to avoid other ponies. As you know already, many ponies despise him, and are making rash judgements about him. We request that you come to Ponyville and make changes, as he cannot fare well as of now. Your faithful student, Twilight Sparkle" Twilight said. "Okay." Spike said, blowing a fire that sent the message away. "She said she couldn't do anything when I came..." Gohan said. "Don't worry, the princess will think of something." Twilight said. *** Celestia read Twilight's letter. She wrote a letter back. "Dear Twilight Sparkle, Princess Luna and I will arrive at Ponyville tonight to deliver a message. We will have a plan for Gohan, and I assure you he will most likely enjoy it. Currently, I have changed the minds of everypony in Canterlot, and must travel across Equestria to do the same for everypony. Sincerely, Luna says Hi, Love Ya, Best of wishes, and everything, Princess Celestia" She wrote. "Are you sure Gohan will like this change?" Celestia asked. "I'm definitely sure Gohan will love this." Goku said, from Other World. "Alright, then." Celestia said with a smile. Celestia used her magic to send the message. *** "A plan? She has a plan for me?" Gohan asked. "Yes, she says you will like it... The other good thing is, she's fixing the problem about ponies hating you." Twilight said. Gohan sighed in relief. "That's a relief." He said. "You might as well stay here until then. But feeding you is going to be a problem." Twilight said. "I fasted yesterday, but this morning I ate all the crops I picked. I'll just wait for food tonight." Gohan said. "Alright then, make yourself at home for a while." Twilight said.
A Turn for a Nightmare (The Plan and a Reunion)Soon, riots broke out all over Ponyville. They were all about Gohan, and if he should stay. There were many signs, many saying: 'Don't want to be a slave? Kill Gohan' Some were saying: 'I refuse to live with a monkey' Some were saying: 'Don't hate the savior of Equestria' And many, many more. Ponies actually began to hit each other. Gohan looked in horror out of Twilight's window. He quickly turned to Twilight. "I can't believe that I'm causing so much violence..." He said. "I wouldn't worry too much, the princess will handle this." Twilight said. "I hope so..." Gohan said. *** Ponyville, 7:30 PM Many ponies were fighting over Gohan. "He's a good guy, he saved us from Nightmare Moon and Discord! He's saved your flanks!" Rainbow Dash yelled. "He's a monster, he can destroy us all!" Another pony yelled. "He's a weird tailless monkey!" A pony yelled. "He ain't gonna hurt anypony!" Applejack yelled. Celestia and Luna arrived in a carriage pulled by two solar guard pegasi. "Princess Celestia and Princess Luna! Help us find the alien!" A pony yelled. "Everypony, halt!" Celestia called. All the voices and ponies stopped. Four ponies who were actually hitting each other stopped fighting. All of the ponies stared at Celestia and Luna. Gohan, Twilight and Spike stepped out of the Treehouse. "There he is!" A pony shouted, jumping at Gohan. Gohan moved out of the way, and many more ponies followed. "HALT!" Luna yelled. This got everyone to REALLY stop. "We have come to address the issue of the valiant Son Gohan." Luna called. "Yes, and we understand some of you do not want to treat Gohan as an equal. He is alien." Celestia called. "He can destroy us all!" A pony yelled. "However! He poses no threat, and has saved Equestria on multiple occasions. He has shown us that he cares for this land, and will break his own limits to keep it intact." Princess Luna called. "I don't want a big karate monkey to be in the same class as my son!" A pony yelled. "I understand. I also understand that Son Gohan does not desire to be in grade school, as he is a great deal smarter than his age leads everypony to believe. That is why Son Gohan will not attend school at the Ponyville Schoolhouse any longer. He has the credentials to attend college, which not everyone has to attend." Celestia called. "He's going to destroy us all!" A pony yelled. "Like we said, Son Gohan poses no threat. You all should be welcoming of Son Gohan, as are we. In fact, we have a crystal ball. This will prove if Gohan will tell the truth." Celestia said, using her magic to reveal a crystal ball. "Son Gohan, you are to come up here!" Luna called. Gohan flew up to the princesses, and bowed. "Put your hand on this ball." Celestia commanded. Gohan did just that. "If the ball turns red, then Son Gohan cannot be trusted. If it turns green, he is trusted." Luna said. "Say you would never go for world domination." Celestia said. "I will never try to go for world domination." Gohan said. The ball was green. "Would you like to protect Equestria?" Luna asked. "I would protect Equestria, even if it kills me." Gohan said. The ball was green. "This does it." Luna said. All of the ponies in the audience respected Gohan from that point. "Everypony, listen up! I, Princess Celestia," Celestia called. "And I, Princess Luna," Luna called. "Both decree, that Son Gohan becomes the sole protector of Equestria." Celestia and Luna called. Everypony suddenly cheered for Gohan. "This means that Son Gohan's new job is for him to protect Equestria in times of need." Celestia called. Gohan was shocked, yet happy. He had a new job, and he didn't have to go to school anymore! "And, we have a great visitor for Son Gohan." Celestia called. "And he's finally here!" A familiar voice yelled. Goku, who had gone to Fortuneteller Baba, was able to come to Equestria, despite being dead. He only had 24 hours. He landed in front of a shocked Gohan. "Hey again, Gohan!" Goku said. "This, is the father of Son Gohan." Luna called. 'Again?' Twilight thought. "Hi!" Goku said to the crowd. Pinkie Pie ran up to Goku. "WE NEED TO THROW A PARTY FOR THESE TWO!" She yelled. "And in 3, 2, 1..." Gohan muttered. All of a sudden, everypony was at Sugarcube Corner, there was a huge party in honor of Gohan and Goku. Goku smiled. "So, how'd we get here?" He asked Gohan. Gohan hugged Goku. "I'm going to say magic." Gohan said. "I'm really proud of you, Gohan. I want to stay here with you, but I only have 24 hours here." Goku said. "HEY GOHAN! YOU AND YOUR DAD, EATING CONTEST. NOW!" Pinkie Pie yelled. Goku and Gohan looked to see a banquet, and it was all for Goku and Gohan. "Alright! I'm famished!" Goku said. "It's me versus you, Dad!" Gohan said. They both grinned at each other before diving in at the food. *** Gohan was finally full, and Goku was still going at it. "W-Well, darling. This is definitely your father..." Rarity said. "You said it!" Pinkie Pie said. "Who cooked all this food?" Gohan asked. "Yeah! My compliments to the chefs!" Goku yelled, eating again. "Some is from Pinkie Pie, and the rest is from chefs from Canterlot." Celestia said. Pinkie Pie hopped around Goku and Gohan. "We still haven't started the games! OOH! And we haven't started the contests, and the cake! AAAAND, we also have to-" "H-Hold on, Pinkie." Gohan interrupted. "Yeah, I'm not done eating yet!" Goku said. *** After plenty of games, piñata hitting, and for some reason, a second feast for Goku and Gohan, the party ended. "Hey, I got an idea!" Rainbow Dash said, walking out of Sugarcube Corner with the Mane 6, Goku and Gohan. "What is it?" Goku asked. "Why don't you two have a fight?" Rainbow Dash asked. "U-Us?" Gohan asked Goku chuckled. "You mean like old times, Gohan?" He asked. "I mean, I have been training..." Gohan said. "Yeah, why don't we see Gohan's match? His dad?" Pinkie Pie asked. "I believe we have an arena for such things." Luna said. "Maybe tomorrow, it is very late." Celestia said. "Where do you guys live?" Goku asked. "We live over there, in Canterlot." Celestia said, pointing a hoof at Canterlot. Goku put two fingers to his head. He was sensing where Canterlot would be. Especially Celestia's palace. "I got a read on where you two live." Goku said. "W-What?" Twilight asked. "Everyone grab on to me." Goku said. Gohan and Spike put their hand on Goku, the princesses, the Mane 6 and the very tired solar guard put their hoof on Goku. In an instant, they were in the palace. All of the ponies were surprised. "W-What is this?" Luna asked. "It's my Instant Transmission. Learned it on Planet Yardrat." Goku said, smiling. "T-This is..." Fluttershy mumbled. "Awesome!" Rainbow Dash finished. Goku chuckled. "Do you really want to fight again, son?" He asked. "Well, I guess. I want to see if you've trained as well." Gohan said. "That settles it. Tomorrow morning, we will put you two in the arena. This can be a learning experience for you, Twilight Sparkle." Celestia joked. "You will sleep in those rooms." Luna said, pointing a hoof at 3 rooms with tons of beds. 'I can actually see Gohan's limits against his dad, probably.' Twilight thought. "I'm surprised you could do that, Son Goku." Celestia said. "I have experience. Heh." Goku said. "Well, surely you two can give us a show tomorrow." Applejack said. "We'll just have to see." Twilight said.
Goku Vs. GohanThe time had come. Goku and Gohan were in the arena. The arena was barren, and the floor was made of flat stone. There was an invisible magical force field for a ceiling, as to prevent any running away. The bystanders who watched consisted of many ponies. The princesses, the Mane 6, Spike, many random ponies, and even Blueblood was there. The princesses had two very comfortable chairs to sit in, while the Mane 6 and Blueblood sat beside them. All the other ponies had a giant bench to sit on. "I honestly don't see how two overgrown monkeys can give us a show." Blueblood said. "I believe it will be a very action packed battle." Rarity said. "I bet Gohan's gonna win!" Spike said. "Nah, Goku's gonna beat him!" Rainbow Dash said. "What do you think, Fluttershy?" Twilight asked, notepad and pencil in magic. "Oh, I don't know... I'll root for the two of them..." Fluttershy said. "If that fellow is that boy's father, then I can only imagine how much stronger he is than Gohan." Applejack said. Blueblood scoffed. "I still can't believe you made a child protector of Equestria, Auntie." He said. "He has saved us from chaos, nephew." Celestia said. "We shall start the match now." Luna said. *** Goku and Gohan stared each other down. A smile on both of their faces. "No holding back, Gohan!" Goku said. "Same to you, Dad!" Gohan said. "Everypony, the match begins now!" Celestia called. Horns erupted, and the two Saiyans clashed instantly. Goku and Gohan charged at each other at light speed. Not even Rainbow Dash could see the movement. They threw a punch at each other, and the resulting parry produced a shockwave/wind that hindered the sight of the bystanders. Twilight wrote the event down. "I-It just started, and now they created wind!" Twilight said. Immediately, Goku and Gohan started throwing rapid punches and kicks at each other. As they clashed all over the arena, they kept yelling: "ATATATATATATATA!" Occasionally they hit one another. Not even 15 seconds into the match, and all of the ponies were flabbergasted. "H-How aren't they tired yet!?" Twilight asked, writing down notes. "How are they moving so fast?" Rainbow Dash asked. Fluttershy cowered and hid behind her chair as the shockwaves appeared. "It's so barbaric!" Blueblood shouted. "It's AWESOME!" Rainbow Dash said. 'I-Insane!' Twilight thought. Goku finally landed a heavy punch on Gohan, which launched him away at last. Gohan recovered, and spun around to land on the wall with his feet, and jump back at Goku. Goku expected a punch, but Gohan actually flew behind him, and kicked him in the back. Goku was launched, but turned around and shot a powerful ki blast at Gohan. Gohan deflected it and flew at Goku. "This is very action packed, wouldn't you say, sister?" Celestia asked. "Indeed." Luna said. "They're fast!" Pinkie Pie said. "Not faster than me!" Rainbow Dash said. "I don't know, sugarcube." Applejack said with a smirk. "What does that mean, AJ?" Rainbow Dash asked. "It means that they're probably faster than you." Applejack said. "No they're not. I'll race Gohan after this, just you wait." Rainbow Dash said. 'Uh oh.' Twilight thought. 'But it's really fast!' "Auntie, this is too barbaric! I demand that you relieve them of this fight, and that boy's duties!" Blueblood said. "Nephew, you must be kind. Now hush, this battle is getting interesting." Celestia said. Fluttershy kept hiding behind her hooves and peeking again. Goku and Gohan were throwing punches and kicks again, and Goku knocked Gohan away. "Let's kick it up a notch!" Goku said, turning Super Saiyan. His irises turned blue, his hair spiked up, and turned yellow in an instant. "You said it!" Gohan said, turning Super Saiyan. The transformation shocked the audience. "Oh my, now I remember that monkey! He was at the Gala!" Blueblood shouted. "Yes, the good boy pulled the carriage for us." Rarity said. "I-I still don't know how they do it." Rainbow Dash said. "The battle has increased in action!" Luna exclaimed. The Super Saiyans stared each other down. Then, Gohan seemingly appeared in front of Goku, who blocked Gohan's punch with his forearm. "H-He's fast!" Rainbow Dash said. "Do you still think he's slower than you, Dashie?" Pinkie Pie asked. "U-Uh, yeah!" Rainbow Dash said nervously. 'His speed multiplied! But by how much?' Twilight asked, writing down notes. "So cool!" Spike said. Gohan threw many punches at speeds unimaginable, which Goku all blocked. Goku dodged the next one, and kneed Gohan in the stomach. Gohan was knocked away with another kick before he could recover from the knee. Gohan stopped himself in midair, and Goku was charging at Gohan. Gohan blasted many ki blasts at the incoming Goku. Goku was hit by one, and dodged every other one. Gohan kicked Goku back down to the ground, and Goku jumped back up at Gohan, cracking the ground below him. "Their strengths alone can shatter the ground!" Celestia said. "No wonder he defeated Discord!" Rainbow Dash said. Fluttershy was so scared that she ended up hugging Rainbow Dash without realizing it. "Fluttershy, what are you doing?" Rainbow Dash asked. "I'm too scared!" Fluttershy said. Rainbow Dash sighed. Twilight couldn't help but giggle. Goku and Gohan were throwing barrages of punches and kicks at each other again. "ATATATATATA!" They yelled again. "I could barely keep up before, now it just looks like they're just... Pieces!" Twilight exclaimed. Rainbow Dash's mouth was agape. Fluttershy hugged tighter. "F-Fluttershy! Too... Tight!" Rainbow Dash said, losing air. "Oop, sorry... EEP!" Fluttershy said as she let go, when they clashed in front of her. Eventually, Goku knocked Gohan away again. "Show me your full strength, Gohan!" Goku yelled. "Are you sure?" Gohan asked. "Yes." Goku said. Gohan channeled his rage to ascend to the Super Saiyan 2 form. His hair spiked up, and overall looked different. "I never cease to amaze myself." Goku said. "Why?" Gohan asked. "Because... THIS!" Goku said, turning Super Saiyan 2 himself. Goku's hair spiked up even more. This surprised Gohan. "Y-You did it too?" Gohan asked. "Yep! I did it in heaven. Now, let's go!" Goku said. Goku and Gohan clashed again, and this time, nopony could even see them. "H-How can anypony move so fast!?" Applejack asked. "Well, when you got wings like these, and training like them, it's easy!" Rainbow Dash bragged, showing off her wings. "RD, you will never learn." Applejack said. "Now what's that supposed to mean!?" Rainbow Dash asked. "You know." Applejack said, giggling. "Hey! He is NOT faster than me!" Rainbow Dash retorted. "Don't worry, I think you're still the best..." Fluttershy said. "At least I got one pony on my side." Rainbow Dash said. "Everypony, look!" Twilight said. Goku had been knocked away by Gohan. He put two fingers to his head and teleported behind Gohan. He kicked him away! Gohan recovered and stood on the ground again. "It's time to end this. SUPER KAIOKEN!" Goku yelled, using the Kaioken times 2. His yellow aura turned into a crimson red, and his power doubled. "What?" Gohan asked before he was hit by a punch. It was too fast for even him to see. As Gohan was knocked away, Goku began to charge his Kamehameha. Gohan recovered and also charged his Kamehameha. "KAMEHAMEHA!" They both yelled. The clashing blasts were too much for the force field, and it broke. Celestia used her magic to try and protect the ponies if anything were to happen. "I-I never thought there could be TWO of them!" Twilight exclaimed. Goku quickly overpowered Gohan's own blast. Gohan was holding Goku's Kamehameha back his just his bare hands. It tore at Gohan's arms more and more as time went by. Finally, Gohan couldn't hold it off. The most the blast did was explode, not shoot off into the horizon. But there was tons of smoke. All the ponies looked into the arena. Goku let the Kaioken die out. There was only silence as the smoke died down. The smoke finally died. It revealed Gohan with a very torn gi. Goku managed to knock the Super Saiyan 2 out of Gohan. Gohan was back in his base form, exhausted and defeated. He was panting. Goku powered down to a mere base form. He also walked in front of Gohan. Gohan, not giving up, attempted to punch Goku as a last resort. But, he stopped before he reached Goku's face. Goku's hair flew for a moment from the wind of the punch. But... Gohan collapsed. Goku caught Gohan before he reached the ground. "You fought well, son." He said. All of the ponies except for Blueblood cheered. Goku reached into a small baggie on his belt. He brought senzu beans. Goku put the bean in Gohan's mouth. "You fought well." He said. Gohan was healed completely, and was at full strength again. "Dad?" He asked. "Hey!" Goku said, grinning widely. "Nice job, Dad." Gohan said, grinning himself. He stood on his own feet. "Thanks, you too!" Goku said, eating a senzu bean himself. *** "Well, it appears that Goku has won." Celestia said. They were in the palace again. "I knew it!" Rainbow Dash said. "Y'all put up a show, I must say." Applejack said. "You two were amazing." Celestia said. "It was terrible!" Blueblood shouted. All eyes were on him. "Outrageous! It was so barbaric, how could you praise them for it!? That monkey could kill us all!" He yelled, pointing at Gohan. "Hey, that's my son you're talking to." Goku said, stepping in front of Gohan. "Nephew! Calm yourself!" Celestia yelled. "No, auntie! These mongrels must leave at once!" Blueblood yelled. "Now I don't know what you've seen, but my son has saved you from destruction twice. I think you should be thankful that you're still alive." Goku said. "Blueblood, leave the palace until I tell you to return." Celestia said with a very serious and irritated voice. Blueblood did just that, mumbling to himself. "Anyway, how'd you two do those things!?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Things like what?" Goku and Gohan asked. "You know, the blasts and whatnot!" Rainbow Dash said. "Are you willing to teach her, Gohan?" Goku asked. "To be honest, no. Too dangerous to teach her." Gohan said. "You said it." Goku said. "What!? Why!?" Rainbow Dash asked. "We had to do a plethora of dangerous and life threatening things when we were just toddlers! Not even you could survive so long." Goku bragged. "Oh yeah? I bet I can!" Rainbow Dash retorted. "P-Please, let's not be hasty..." Gohan said with an awkward smile, and got in between of Goku and Rainbow Dash. "Anyway, you two put on a spectacular show. I'm glad we appointed someone of pure heart and amazing strength to be the protector of Equestria." Celestia said. "Oh, that reminds me. Do I still have to live with the Apples?" Gohan asked. "It is entirely up to you." Celestia said. "Sugarcube, as long as you work at the farm from time to time, we don't mind you leaving! Heheh!" Applejack said. "Really? Then can I go back to my shack?" Gohan asked. "Yes, you may." Celestia said. "Alright, Gohan! The tide just turned in your favor, right?" Goku asked. "I-I guess so." Gohan said. "We have to show Goku around Ponyville!" Twilight said. "Okay, my little ponies. I will resume my duties as princess. I'm expecting a letter from you soon, Twilight Sparkle." Celestia said. "Okay, Princess Celestia!" Twilight said. "Everyone grab on!" Goku said, putting two fingers to his head. *** "I need to master teleportation." Twilight said. They were back in Ponyville. "Gohan, you and I must race!" Rainbow Dash demanded. 'Uh oh.' Gohan and Twilight thought.
Goku's Visit to Ponyville"Uh... You'd win, I don't want to waste your time." Gohan said. "No, you'd totally beat her!" Pinkie Pie said. "Gohan, you better race me now!" Rainbow Dash said. "Look, I don't want to lose. You understand, right?" Gohan asked. "No! Wait, actually..." Rainbow Dash said. "Besides, I only have about 5 hours left here. He may want to spend the day with his dad." Goku said, putting a hand on Gohan's shoulder. "Wait, didn't you say 24 hours?" Gohan asked. "Well, that fight took away a few hours. Don't worry, we've done and I'm sure we'll still be able to do stuff." Goku said. "Alright... Well, we might as well show you around Ponyville... Which you already know about." Gohan said. "Oh, you knew I watched you, huh." Goku said. "I figured it out on day two." Gohan said. "I knew my son could figure it out! After all, he's the only Saiyan to be a scholar!" Goku joked. Gohan laughed. "Well, we should show you around Ponyville!" Applejack said. "I'll take you to Sweet Apple Acres. Maybe you can do farmwork like him!" She joked. "Okay, I'll get a read on it." Goku said, putting two fingers on his forehead. "Are you gonna teleport us there or something?" Applejack asked. "Alright, got a read on two ponies there. Grab on." Goku said. "Are you guys gonna come with?" He asked. "I guess." Twilight said. "I have to get back to my cottage a-and feed all my little critters..." Fluttershy said. "Please inform me when you must leave... M-Mr. Goku." She said, trotting away. "I'll tag along!" Pinkie Pie said. "I suppose I will come along. But you must change your clothes, Gohan!" Rarity said. Gohan looked down at his ripped shirt, and laughed. "I'll come with, maybe my awesomeness will rub off on Goku too." Rainbow Dash bragged. "Yeah, I guess!" Goku said. "I'll be at the library. Catch you guys later." Spike said, walking away. Everyone touched Goku, and they were instantly at Sweet Apple Acres. Big Mac was bucking apples, and Granny Smith was knitting. "N-Now who is this tall fellow?" Granny Smith asked. "Oh hey! You must be the pe- I mean, ponies taking my son in! I'm Goku, who are you?" Goku asked. "I'm Granny Smith, and- Wait, you're the father of this boy?" Granny Smith asked. "Yep! Thanks for taking care of my son, Granny Smith." Goku said. "That's not a problem, sonny. The lad's a huge help here at the farm." Granny Smith said. "Yeah, but Granny, he's moving back in his old place." Applejack said. "Aw, but he's still coming down to the farm?" Granny Smith asked. "Yep, he'll be a good worker." Applejack said. "Alrighty." Granny Smith said. "So this here's the farm. Can ya do what Gohan does?" Applejack asked. "Oh sure, I can do that." Goku said, slamming his fist against the ground, causing every apple to fall off the tree. This also caused Big Mac to trip. "H-How did you know he did that?" Applejack asked in surprise. "How'd you even do that!?" Twilight asked. "Yeah, how'd you do that AWESOME thing!?" Rainbow Dash asked. "I just hit the ground hard enough to affect the tree's roots enough to shake the apples off the tree. It's normal, really." Goku said so casually. "THAT ISN'T NORMAL!" Twilight yelled. "Alright, calm down." Goku said. "Let me get my things." Gohan said, going inside and immediately coming out with his heavy suitcase, with a change of clothes. "Where to next?" He immediately asked. "OOH! Sugarcube Corner again! We can eat all the sweets we can make!" Pinkie Pie said. "Alright, I'm down! Who's not coming this time?" Goku asked. "Me, I gotta pick the crops with Big Mac." Applejack said. "Alright then, everyone else grab on!" Goku said. Then, they were at Sugarcube Corner. *** "Oh man, I think that's gonna be in there for a while." Goku said. Goku, Gohan and Pinkie Pie had eaten tons of sweets. "Okay, where to next...?" Goku asked. "Try my house. It's in the clouds." Rainbow Dash said. "Okay, so some of you actually have to keep hold of me." Goku said. "See ya!" Pinkie Pie said. *** "It's a big house, and it's a cloud too! It's so awesome!" Rainbow Dash said. "Alright, where to next?" Goku asked. "Let's try my house, the library." Twilight said. "Alright, Gohan, Rainbow Dash! Get back here!" Goku said. "Nah, I'm gonna split. See ya!" Rainbow Dash said. *** "Books aren't really my thing... But it's Gohan's!" Goku said. "Oh, you're back." Spike said. "Alright, I'm going to be busy. See you around!" Twilight said. "Now for my boutique!" Rarity said. *** "These fabrics are one of the finest in Equestria!" Rarity explained. "That's cool." Goku said. "I even made that extraordinarily heavy gi for your son." Rarity said. "Oh yeah, I noticed! It's heavier than mine, which is only 100 kilos!" Goku said. "Really? You two are stronger than I initially thought. Anyhow, I must finish up a dress for a customer. See you later." Rarity said. "Okay, Gohan. I guess it's time for your old shack?" Goku asked. "Y-Yeah." Gohan said. *** "Oh, that's right! I was on Earth and got you something you might enjoy." Goku said, reaching into his pouch of senzu beans, and a capsule. "What is it? Do mom and the others still hate me?" Gohan asked. "Sadly, yes. Anyway, it's a gravity chamber!" Goku said, throwing the capsule to reveal the gravity machine. It was a room, with the Capsule Corp. logo on the side. Upon entry, a gravity machine was there. "Bulma told me it goes up to 1000x Earth's gravity. You could do some serious training here!" Goku said. "Thanks, Dad!" Gohan said. "I'm going to teach you a new technique." Goku said. "What is it?" Gohan asked. "Tenshinhan's Multi-Form technique." Goku said. "Wait, you know how to use that?" Gohan asked. "Of course, I mean, Cell used it against me. I mastered it in heaven." Goku said. "Why are you going to teach me it?" Gohan asked. "Because it can really help your training, Gohan. Now let's put this away." Goku said, walking outside and pressing a button which put the gravity chamber inside the capsule again. "Now, let's get to training!" Goku said.
Goku's Final Goodbye"Alright Gohan!" Goku cheered. Gohan had mastered the multi-form technique. Not completely, it still halves his power with each copy. "Yes!" The four Gohans said. "It took a few hours, but you finally did it!" Goku said. "Yeah, and- Oh. That's right." The Gohans said as they formed one being again. "You're leaving soon." Gohan said. "Oh. That's right. Baba will yell at me if I'm not at the Lookout in about an hour!" Goku said. "You have to say goodbye to my friends, Dad!" Gohan said. "I'm already on it. Grab on." Goku said, putting two fingers on his forehead. *** "Fluttershy!" Gohan called. "I-I'm here!" Fluttershy said, frantically running out of the kitchen. "Be at the center of Ponyville." Gohan said, before they teleported away. Fluttershy was left confused, but left her cottage to do just that. *** Applejack was in the fields, planting seeds. Goku and Gohan appeared in front of her. "Applejack, go to the center of Ponyville." Gohan said before they just teleported away again. "What?" She asked, but it was too late. Applejack did as she was told, and started trotting towards Ponyville. *** "Rarity, I need you to be at the center of Ponyville, now." Gohan said before they teleported again. "Excuse me, for wha-" Rarity said before realizing Gohan was gone. She began trotting towards the center of Ponyville. *** "Rainbow Dash, go to the center of Ponyville, now!" Gohan said before teleporting away. "Alright, why-" Rainbow Dash said as she laid on her cloud before realizing Gohan left. She flew towards Ponyville. *** "Pinkie, get out of that trash can, and I need you to be at the center of Ponyville." Gohan said, before teleporting away. "Okey dokey lokey!" Pinkie Pie said, hopping towards Ponyville. *** "Twilight, and Spike if you want to, go to the center of Ponyville, now." Gohan said before teleporting away. "Uh... Okay, Spike, let's go!" Twilight said. Spike groaned. "Fine." *** Already, the Mane 6 and Spike were at the town's center. They were voicing their final goodbyes to Goku. "I have to get back to the afterlife, it was fun meeting you all!" Goku said. "Whenever you come back, just come to us and we'll feed ya!" Applejack joked, and laughed soon after. Everyone else laughed with her. "Ah... Yeah... When will you be back?" Pinkie Pie asked. Goku only looked at Pinkie Pie with his smile. "Hey... Let's not worry about that now." He said. "So y-you'll be back?" Fluttershy asked. "I'll try." Goku said. "Anyway, thanks for taking care of my son for all this time, you guys. I know I say it often, but it means a lot. It was nice to meet you in person, and not through a dead guy." Goku joked. "It's not a problem!" Rainbow Dash said. "He's an absolute angel, just like you!" Rarity said. Goku chuckled at that. "He will never lose our support." Fluttershy said. "We'll be at his side for every twist and turn!" Twilight said. "I'll throw even more parties for him!" Pinkie Pie yelled. "He's practically part of the Apple family! Don't worry, Mr. Goku." Applejack said. "I trust you all. After all, the Elements of Harmony have to wielded by some ponies." Goku said. "Yeah!" Rainbow Dash said. "And you." Goku said, facing Gohan. "Yes, Dad?" Gohan asked. "You better train harder with those. You'll be even stronger than me one day! Well, again." Goku said. "I will! I won't let you down, Dad!" Gohan said. "Alright. I'm going back now. Thanks again!" Goku said. "Dad, wait." Gohan said, facing the ground. Nobody could see his tears. "What's wrong Gohan?" Goku asked. He looked back up at Goku. "I'm really going to miss you." Gohan said. Goku placed a hand on Gohan's shoulder. "You'll meet me in the afterlife, Gohan. Don't worry, I won't stop contacting you." He said with a smile. "B-But..." Gohan sobbed. Goku gestured for a hug, and Gohan took it, crying into his shirt. "I know you don't want me to leave you again because I'm dead, but all you can do is cope." Goku said. "It's alright, sugarcube. He'll keep watch over ya." Applejack said. "Yeah, she's not lying." Goku said. Gohan finally stopped sobbing. He looked up at Goku with tearful eyes. "Gohan, I won't stop watching over you. Just know I haven't turned on you..." Goku said. He referenced what happened after the Cell Games. "Alright. I love you, Dad." Gohan said, wiping his tears. "I love you too, Gohan. Bye!" Goku said, instant transmissioning away. "I will never understand how you work Gohan." Rainbow Dash joked. "How so?" Gohan asked. "Your dead dad just visited for a day, how is that not confusing enough!?" Rainbow Dash asked. "I guess." Gohan said. "Well, what are we to do now?" Twilight asked. "Why don't we tour my awesome house?" Rainbow Dash asked. "We can't fly, Rainbow Dash." Twilight said. "Oh, I know how we can do that!" Gohan said. "How?" Twilight asked. Gohan performed the multi-form technique, creating four copies of Gohan. The others looked in shock. "Shocked?" The Gohans asked. "I-I have not seen cloning before, but this is just as good! I guess we can tour Rainbow Dash's house." Twilight said. "You do that, I'm going home." Spike said, walking away. "Alright, next stop! Casa de Dash!" Rainbow Dash said as they flew towards Rainbow Dash's house.
Cadence's Wedding Pt. 1Gohan was training his swordsmanship skills in the gravity chamber as his friends had a picnic. Twilight received a message from Celestia about a wedding with her brother, Shining Armor, and "Princess Mi Amore Cadenza". The Mane 6 were tasked with things like decorations, party planning, birds singing, a Sonic Rainboom, fashion, planning, and catering. Gohan was tasked with meeting with Shining Armor for some reason. Rainbow Dash knocked on the door of Gohan's gravity chamber, as they needed to get on a train. "Gohan! Get out here!" Rainbow Dash yelled. Gohan came out with his sword in hand. "Yeah?" He asked. "We have a wedding to get to in Canterlot! Grab your clothes, and we'll leave in a jiffy!" She said. "Uh... Okay!" Gohan said, still confused. Since it was a wedding, he grabbed only one extra gi and his formal clothes. He packed his suitcase with a few bits as well. Gohan put his sword back in it's sheath, which was tied to his back. He forgot to leave it. *** The Mane 6 and Gohan were on a train to Canterlot! "Uh... Gohan? What's with the sword?" Applejack asked. "Oh! I forgot to leave it! Ugh. Sorry." Gohan said. "Who knows, maybe we need protection?" Rarity said. "I don't know, heheh." Gohan said. Then, he noticed there was a pink forcefield around Canterlot. "That may explain that forcefield around Canterlot." He said, pointing out the window. A pink force field was around Canterlot. "Huh. Wonder why that's there." Pinkie Pie said. "Protection." Gohan said. Then everyone started laughing at the obvious answer. When they arrived in Canterlot, many guards were at Canterlot station. "What's with the guards?" Rainbow Dash asked. "I'm sure they're just taking extra precautions. A royal wedding should be kept away from the strangest ponies." Rarity said. Pinkie Pie sneezed confetti. "Well, let's get going! We have work to do!" Rarity said, trotting away with the Mane 6. "And YOU have a big brother to go congratulate." Applejack said to Twilight. "Yeah, congratulate. And give him a piece of my mind." Twilight said, which left the others confused. "I have to go talk to him too." Gohan said, following Twilight. *** Twilight was walking towards her brother, talking to herself. Gohan followed. Her brother, Shining Armor, was commanding the guards to perform their duties. "I've got something to say to you, mister!" Twilight called. As soon as they heard Twilight, they were ready to defend. "Twily!" Shining Armor said, taking off his helmet and running down to greet Twilight and Gohan. "I've missed you kid! How was the train ride? I-" Shining Armor said, before he realized Twilight was staring daggers into him. "How dare you not tell me in person that you were getting married!? I'm your sister for pony's sake!" Twilight said. "It's not my fault! Princess Celestia has requested a major increase in security. Didn't you see all the guards at the train station?" Shining Armor asked. "Yeah, there's a big wedding coming up! Maybe you HEARD about it!" Twilight said as she trotted away and stopped at a puddle. Gohan smiled awkwardly at Twilight. "It has nothing to do with the wedding. A threat has been made against Canterlot. We don't know who's responsible for it, but Princess Celestia has requested that I provide additional protection." Shining Armor said, walking to his little sister. Shining Armor raised her head with a hoof. "This, you need to see." He said. Shining Armor proceeded to shoot an extra force field from his horn, but it took a lot out of him, and it gave him a headache. He and Twilight began to trot up the stairs. Gohan followed. "The burden of keeping Canterlot safe rests squarely on my shoulders. The task at hand has been my top priority." Shining Armor said. They all stopped on a small bridge above ground. "Okay, I get it. You have to protect Canterlot with a huge force field that only you can conjure up. But still! How could you not tell me that you were getting married? Am I not that important to you anymore?" Twilight asked, sadness evident. "Hey. You're my little sister. Of course you're important to me. But I'd understand if you didn't want to be my best mare now." Shining Armor said. Then she perked up. "You want me to be your best mare?" Twilight asked excitedly. "Well, yeah!" Shining Armor said. "I'd be honored!" Twilight said as they hugged. "But I'm still ticked that you're marrying somepony I don't even know! Who even is 'Princess Mi Amore Cadenza'?" Twilight said. "Twily, Princess Mi Amore Cadenza is Cadence. Your old foalsitter!" Shining Armor said. "Cadence? You mean the best foalsitter in the history of foalsitters!?" Twilight asked. "You tell me, she was your foalsitter." Shining Armor said. Twilight described how much of a great foalsitter Cadence was. Gohan couldn't help but smile. "You're marrying Cadence!" Twilight sang as she hopped around. Then, Cadence appeared. "I hope I'm not interrupting anything important?" Cadence said. Gohan felt a seriously big ki from Cadence. 'She doesn't hide her strength, I guess.' He thought. It was rather... Dark. Twilight tried performing a ritual dance with Cadence, as they were best friends. But Cadence just looked in confusion. "What are you doing?" Cadence asked. "Cadence it's me! Twilight!" Twilight said. "Uh huh." Cadence said as she trotted past Twilight. "Hello, Son Gohan." Cadence said. "O-Oh! Hello, Princess Mi Amore Cadenza." Gohan said, immediately bowing. "That's good, I didn't need to tell him." Cadence said. "Oh that's right! Gohan, we've heard a lot about you. You've saved Equestria from Discord!" Shining Armor said, hugging Cadence again. Gohan chuckled nervously. "I wouldn't like to talk about it." He said. "I need to get back to my station. Cadence will be around to monitor you guys. Son Gohan, come with me." Shining Armor said, trotting away. Gohan quickly followed. Twilight and Gohan did not feel a good vibe from Cadence. *** "There's a reason you were invited, Son Gohan." Shining Armor said. "J-Just Gohan is fine, Shining Armor." Gohan said. "Okay. You were invited for... Security reasons. You see, you were already with Twilight about the threat, correct?" Shining Armor asked. "Yes, sir." Gohan said. "Well, I've been told you can sense irregular powers. Or powerful ponies. Either way, you should contact me if you feel anything like that. If worst comes to worst, I will require you to fight." Shining Armor said. "I will sir. Do princesses count when the powers are great?" Gohan asked. "No. Unless it's spiked up too crazy, then you should contact me." Shining Armor said. "So, essentially I am a bodyguard?" Gohan asked. "Yes. If anything were to happen to me, or Cadence, or your friends and whatnot, you'll take care of it." Shining Armor said. "Anything else, sir?" Gohan asked. "Just relax while you're here. If you would like, you could teach the guards a thing or two. You seem to be a swordsman." Shining Armor said. "Y-Yeah." Gohan said, grabbing the handle. "Alright, I have things to do. See you later, Gohan." Shining Armor said, trotting away. Gohan wanted to tell Shining Armor about Cadence's weird power, and how it kept rising. But, it would offend him if he had doubts about his wife.
Cadence's Wedding Pt. 2 (edited)Twilight saw how mean Cadence was acting towards her friends. Also, they were blind to it! I mean, the hell, Cadence! She threw perfectly good food in the trash, which dying foals in whatever the equivalent of Africa is in Equestria, she absolutely detested Rarity's dresses, she hated Pinkie's energy in general, and oh my Lord, the list goes on. How the fuck does only one pony see through the bullshit!? Anyway, let's get to the whole group. They were at a shop, drinking some random drinks. Twilight voiced her concerns about Cadence, and everyone ridiculed her. But... "I don't doubt your concerns, Twilight." Gohan said. "What!?" The Mane 6 asked. Twilight had very clear suspicions of Cadence, and so did Gohan. "If you two were best friends, I don't see how she could have forgotten you." Gohan said. "I also noticed that her power remains on the stronger side, instead of keeping it down. It's as if... She's always ready for attack. Also, it feels dark instead of lively." Gohan noted. "I think the two of you are crazy." Applejack said. Gohan sighed. "We'll have to figure this out ourselves." He said. Twilight already left. *** Twilight came to Shining Armor, who was dressed up. "Hey Twilight! Your big brother's looking good! Don't you think?" Shining Armor asked. Twilight just looked at him with sad eyes. "Everything okay?" Shining Armor asked. "We need to talk. I think you're making a big-" "AHEM." Cadence interrupted. "Oh hi, sweetie." Shining Armor said. Gohan came into the room. "Hey Gohan." Shining Armor said. "Can I speak to you for a moment, dear?" Cadence asked. "Better see what she wants." Shining Armor said, trotting to Cadence in another room. Twilight and Gohan looked at each other, and nodded. Gohan could hear the conversation, but Twilight went for a closer look. "I told you I don't like your outfit!" Cadence said. "It was my favorite uncle's!" Shining Armor said. "I don't care. Are you disagreeing with me?" Cadence asked. "Well, I guess I am!" Shining Armor said. "You must be having a headache again, let me help." Cadence said. "No, I don't- Argh..." Shining Armor said. Cadence was seemingly performing a mind control spell on Shining Armor. Gohan felt and heard the whole thing. Twilight saw the whole thing. The two looked to each other. Then, they high tailed it. *** Twilight and Gohan rushed to the rest of the Mane 6. "Guys! My brother is in-" Twilight said, before realizing they were dressed up. "What are you-" "Can you believe it?" Fluttershy interrupted, showing her dress. "We're going to be Princess Mi Amore Cadenza's new bridesmaids! And Gohan, you're part of the groomsmen!" She said. "New bridesmaids? What happened to her OLD bridesmaids?" Twilight asked. "And what's a groomsman?" Gohan asked. "She didn't say, but she would love, love, love it if we filled in for them. Oh, and it's the same as a bridesmaid." Applejack said. "It's because we've been working so hard, and everything." Rarity said. The rest of them began to compliment each other's dresses, pointing out that Twilight was wrong. Twilight already began to walk away in defeat. Gohan looked back at her, and felt terrible. *** All of the ponies involved in the wedding were rehearsing. Even Gohan, with his sword. Twilight was missing. But, she burst through the doors. "I'm here, and I'm not going to stand next to her! And neither should you!" Twilight said. Gohan looked back at her. 'She didn't give up!' He thought. Shining Armor wasn't happy with the comment. "I'm sorry, I don't know why she's acting like this." He said to Cadence. "Maybe we should just ignore her." Cadence said. "You have to listen to me!" Twilight shouted. "Oh goodness! Are you okay?" Fluttershy asked. "I'm fine." Twilight said. "You sure about that?" Applejack asked. Twilight pushed Applejack away with her magic. "I've got something to say! She's evil!" Twilight said, pointing a hoof at Cadence. "Yeah!" Gohan said, adding flame to the fire. Shining Armor came to Cadence's defense quickly. The other ponies were surprised. "She's been terrible to my friends," Twilight said, teleporting behind Cadence. She walked closer to Cadence, who backed away. "She's definitely done something with her bridesmaids, and Gohan and I saw her cast a spell on my brother which made him go-" Twilight said, mimicking the screwed up head. Or cuckoo crazy. Cadence acted confused, but Twilight stared daggers into her soul. Cadence began to cry like a total bitch. 'Oh no.' Gohan thought. "Why are you doing this to me!?" She cried, running away. "Because you're evil!" Twilight said, teleporting after Cadence. "EVIL! And if I don't stop you're gonna ruin my brother's life!" Twilight yelled. The other ponies stared at Twilight in shock. Shining Armor was not happy at all. He walked up to Twilight angrily. She cowered... "Do you want to know why my eyes went" screwed up head? " Shining Armor asked. "With the protection spell, I've been getting terrible migraines. She hasn't been casting spells on me! She's been using her magic to heal me!" He said. "Shining Armor, she has controlled you well, but two witness testimonies contradict that!" Gohan said, pointing at Shining Armor. "What?" Shining Armor asked. "Not Gohan too..." Rarity said. "We were there at that time. You two were arguing about your favorite uncle's outfit, and how she didn't like it! She silenced you by casting a spell, ending the conversation there!" Gohan said. "Yeah, she's evil!" Twilight said. "That's not true! Why would she even do that!?" Shining Armor asked. "There are too many loopholes for you two to make that claim." Celestia said, also a bit angry. "I'm afraid not!" Gohan said. Twilight didn't really know what to respond with, so she really didn't add any more. "Tell me this: Would someone crowned as the Princess of Love have a dark energy? Would she argue with her soon to be husband with something as petty as his clothing?" Gohan asked. "You're speaking nonsense!" Shining Armor yelled. "Cadence has no dark energy, she's pure as ever!" He yelled, inching closer to Gohan. Gohan wasn't fazed. "You're telling the one being in Equestria that can sense life forms that she doesn't have a dark energy? Especially with the way she acts?" He asked. "Then you're lying!" Shining Armor yelled. Gohan gave him an unamused face. "You can't be serious... Okay, it's clear as day that you'll do anything to defend Cadence, but what happened last night? She hated your outfit, and hated the fact that you disagreed with her!" He claimed. "She was helping me with my migraine! The reason why she's been acting crazy is because she's had to plan the wedding, replace the bridesmaids and groomsmen with your friends because of malicious intent, and she's been treating my migraines!" Shining Armor countered horribly. "How does that give anypony the moral high ground to act so bitter?" Twilight asked, trying to chip in. "She isn't acting bitter, YOU are! She cares about me, Twilight! Something YOU don't care about!" Shining Armor yelled. "B-But I-" Twilight tried to respond. "Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go comfort my bride. And you can forget about being my best mare!" Shining Armor said, trotting away. "In fact, if I were you, I wouldn't show up to the wedding at all." Shining Armor said. "Hey, don't you leave yet! I'm not done making my case!" Gohan yelled. "You shouldn't, either! To both!" Shining Armor yelled. "Well, I clearly won the argument." Gohan said to himself. The rest of the Mane 6 trotted away. "Come on y'all, let's go comfort the princess." Applejack said. They all had mean faces towards Twilight and Gohan. "You have a lot to think about." Celestia said, trotting away. "Twilight." Gohan said. Twilight looked back at Gohan with tearful eyes. "...Don't give up. We can help your brother, I know it. He needs more than the truth." Gohan said. "I don't think we're right anymore." Twilight said, trotting towards the stairs. "But-" "-Its all a coincidence, let's end it!" Twilight yelled. It was too late. Twilight gave up. Gohan was left alone with saving Shining Armor from... Whoever Cadence must be. "I could've gained a sister, but I lost a brother instead!" Twilight said, laying on the stairs, crying. Gohan walked and sat by her side. He knew Cadence was acting out of turn, she was the princess of love. Acting mean is not in her nature. Cadence appeared again. She patted Twilight's forehead. "I'm sorry!" Twilight said with tearful eyes. Cadence's eyes turned from sincere to angry. "You will be." She said, using her magic to trap Twilight and Gohan in a green fire. "What the heck!?" Gohan asked. The fire lowered Twilight and Gohan to an unknown place. *** Gohan looked around to see that they were in a crystal cave. Twilight was scared. "What happened!?" Twilight asked. Gohan sensed another ki beside him, and threw a ki blast at a crystal. The blast revealed... Cadence? "Princess?" Gohan asked. "You!" Twilight yelled, running at Cadence. "No, wait!" Cadence yelled. Gohan moved in front of Cadence, shielding her from Twilight. "That must be the real Princess Mi Amore Cadenza!" Gohan said. "Yes, it's me Twilight!" Cadence said. "How do I know!?" Twilight asked, horn ready to attack. Cadence performed the dance they always performed when Twilight was a child. "C-Cadence!?" Twilight asked, hugging the real Cadence. "I've missed you Twilight. But we're in trouble!" Cadence said. "That fake is going to marry Shining Armor!" Twilight said. "Hold on, you're injured. Take this." Gohan said, sparing a cup of energy for Cadence. "Thank you. Y-You must be Son Gohan. I've heard many things about you." Cadence said. "Not now, I think the ceremony's happening soon, I sense many ponies up there." Gohan said, pointing to the ceiling. "Oh no! We won't make it in time!" Cadence said. *** 'Cadence' was trotting to her mind controlled 'husband', Shining Armor. The music was playing. *** "It's about to happen!" Gohan said. "We won't make it in time!" Cadence said. "Oh yes we will!" Gohan said, throwing a ki blast at the ceiling. It didn't do anything. "I'm not done yet!" Gohan said, cupping his hands together at his side. "I have to use a lot more to take this down!" He said. "What are you- Oh!" Twilight said. "Ka..." Gohan said. 'Cadence' was already trotting up the stairs. "Me..." Gohan said. 'Cadence' was at Shining Armor's side. "Ha..." Gohan said. Celestia was saying a few words. "Me..." Gohan said. "You may now kiss the bride." Celestia said. "HA!" Gohan yelled, blasting the ceiling with the Kamehameha wave. The immense beam burst through the floor, and through the ceiling of where the wedding took place. The ponies looked in shock. Only Shining Armor didn't respond. As the beam died down, the dust cleared, and revealed Gohan, Twilight and the real Cadence. 'Cadence' hadn't noticed the real Cadence or Gohan. "Oh, why does she keep doing this to me!?" 'Cadence' cried. "Because this is not your wedding!" Cadence yelled as Gohan jumped up to the floor, carrying Twilight and Cadence. Everyone was left confused.
Cadence's Wedding Pt. 3'Cadence' looked in shock as the real Cadence was there. "But how did you escape my bridesmaids!?" 'Cadence' asked. "What bridesmaids?" The three asked. "Clever, but you're still too late!" 'Cadence' said. "I don't understand, how can there be two of them!?" Applejack asked. "She's a changeling! She transforms into the ponies you love and gains power from the love you give them." Cadence said. 'Cadence''s eyes were angry and glowing green. Gohan felt a massive ki surge. She transformed into who she really was, Queen Chrysalis. A changeling. The transformation itself created winds. Chrysalis cackled. "Right you are, princess. And it's QUEEN of the changelings, and it is up to me to find food for my subjects." She said. "Equestria has more love than any place I've ever encountered." Chrysalis said as she trotted down the stairs. "My changelings will eat it, and receive more power than we have ever dreamed of!" She said. "Not on my watch!" Gohan yelled, jumping in front of Chrysalis, and held his sword in both hands. "We will rule all of Equestria!" Chrysalis said. "No. You won't." Celestia said. "Wait, don't!" Gohan yelled. "You may have stopped Shining Armor from performing his spell, but you have foolishly revealed your true self!" Celestia yelled as she and Chrysalis clashed their horns. Celestia flew up. "I will protect my subjects from you!" She said as she blasted Chrysalis. Chrysalis also blasted Celestia. After a long struggle, Chrysalis won and wounded Celestia greatly. "Princess Celestia!" Twilight yelled. "It seems Shining Armor's love was more than I thought. But now I am even more powerful than Princess Celestia!" Chrysalis yelled. Gohan kicked Chrysalis, ending her 'victory'. "Who dares...?" She asked. "You may be tougher than the princess, but you've got a new challenge that's impossible to overcome!" Gohan said. Princess Celestia sent the Mane 6 to get the Elements of Harmony. "You impudent little- You're kidding, right? I am stronger than Princess Celestia! What are you, her underling?" Chrysalis asked. "No, I'm my father's son! And protector of Equestria!" Gohan said with pride. He dashed at Chrysalis. Gohan and Chrysalis fought, creating shockwaves and magic/ki explosions. The other ponies ran out of the place. Gohan threw many ki blasts, which Chrysalis got either hit by or blocked with her magic. "T-This is impossible! You can't be stronger than Celestia... Or me!" Chrysalis yelled. When Gohan swung his sword, Chrysalis blocked with her horn. Gohan and Chrysalis were parrying constantly. Over the course of battle, Chrysalis had been gaining strength. Shining Armor's love provided said strength. However, Gohan remained to be the stronger one. "What's wrong? What happened to ruling Equestria?" He taunted. She bucked Gohan as hard as she could, but she was still not evenly matched. Gohan knew she was getting stronger by the moment, and wanted to know her limits. Since he felt the Mane 6 in danger, he couldn't have fun with Chrysalis. "Alright, time to end this!" Gohan yelled, turning Super Saiyan and putting his sword back in his sheath. "W-What!?" Chrysalis asked. "Kamehameha!" Gohan yelled, firing the Kamehameha wave at Chrysalis. Chrysalis used her magic to try and combat it, but she was instantly over powered by it, and was knocked away into the distance. "NNNOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooo...." Chrysalis yelled as she was blasted. Gohan couldn't tell if she died. However, the changelings were still roaming. Gohan flew above Canterlot. He saw how the changelings were ruining Canterlot, smashing buildings and terrorizing the citizens. They were even shapeshifting into his friends! And fighting them, it seems. But, he could tell who was fake or not. Sensing power levels did have a good perk. Gohan flew over to the Mane 6, who were all battling the changelings. He pulled his sword out and killed a changeling who was about to attack the real Fluttershy. The green blood oozed upon Gohan's sword. "Oh! Thank you, Gohan." Fluttershy said. "Maybe later you can say that!" Gohan said, slashing his sword through the many Raritys, Rainbow Dashes, Pinkie Pies, Fluttershys, and Twilights. The Mane 6 stopped fighting, as Gohan had covered it. Gohan blasted a horde of changelings, killing many effectively. He began to slaughter the armies of the changelings with his sword again. They were not shapeshifting into him, because being a Gohan would literally screw up their bones. "Dude, Gohan looks so cool when he uses that sword!" Rainbow Dash commented. "He is rather elegant using it, and I like it. But I wouldn't say the same about the changelings." Rarity said. "Maybe he's good with a lasso?" Applejack asked. "I dunno. He looks cool though!" Pinkie Pie said. Gohan received no damage from the changelings, mostly because of being a Super Saiyan. Gohan stabbed the last changelings in rapid succession. After the final one died, and there were no more, Gohan reverted back to his base form. Gohan was covered in changeling blood, but he paid no attention to that. "Are you guys alright?" Gohan asked. "Yeah, we watched you murder them all! It was awesome!" Rainbow Dash said. "How did you stab them all in rapid succession? You must have practiced." Rarity said. "We're all okay." Fluttershy said. "T-That's good. At least we're all okay. At least it's over, now." Gohan said. "I forgot! We still need the Elements of Harmony!" Twilight said. "I took care of Chrysalis." Gohan said. "Really? Oh, that's good." Twilight said. *** "Shining! Get up, honey!" Cadence said, trying to wake Shining Armor up. Shining Armor woke up, with barely any energy. "You're okay!" Cadence said, hugging Shining Armor. "W-What happened?" He asked. "The threat made to Canterlot has ceased, Shining Armor!" Gohan called in the distance. He was walking back to where the wedding was going to take place alongside the Mane 6. "Wha?" Shining Armor asked. "But we do have an enormous corpse count in Canterlot." Gohan said. "I would take care of it, but I'm too weak to clean it." Shining Armor said. "Oh, I'll take care of that." Gohan said, sparing a big cup of energy to Shining Armor. "Wow! This powered me up quickly! Alright, time to get rid of... The bodies." Shining Armor said. He performed a spell which blasted the changeling corpses back where they came from. *** "Boy, am I glad we have you!" Shining Armor said, pointing a hoof at Gohan. "Oh, t-thanks." Gohan said, scratching the back of his head. "I cannot thank you enough for saving the wedding." Cadence said. "Twilight and I had a hunch that she was evil. Heh." Gohan chuckled. "That's right, I have to go apologize to her! I should have never doubted you and her." Shining Armor said. "She's going to need that apology." Gohan said, chuckling afterwards.
Cadence's Wedding Pt. 4After a redo on what was required from the Mane 6, the wedding was going to happen again. Twilight became best mare for Shining Armor again, and received an apology for the way he acted. Cadence did not act mean towards the Mane 6 like Chrysalis had. She even brought Gohan along. They had Applejack's cooking, loved Rarity's dresses and suits, thought the Sonic Rainboom was spectacular, thought the party decorations and plans were a blast, and thought Fluttershy's birds sounded perfect. After such an ordeal, the wedding was finally happening the way it should be. The Mane 6 were in their dresses, and Gohan was a Super Saiyan in his proper attire. https://t00.deviantart.net/Cd3AqpNkMVGG09Wav8m2_7okeiw=/fit-in/700x350/filters:fixed_height(100,100):origin()/pre00/da5b/th/pre/f/2016/366/e/1/gohan_by_tch023-datos61.png Cadence was walking up to her soon to be husband. The birds sang. The Cutie Mark Crusaders made a path of flower petals, making way for Cadence. Cadence was now with Shining Armor. "Mares and gentlecolts, we are gathered here today to celebrate a union of the Princess Mi Amore Cadenza-" Princess Celestia said. "Princess Cadence is fine." Cadence said sheepishly. "-The union of Princess Cadence and Shining Armor. The strength of their commitment is clear, the power of their love is undeniable. May we have the rings please?" Celestia asked. Spike brought the rings up. Celestia used her magic to places the rings on their horns. "I now pronounce you mare, and colt." She said. Cheers erupted, and the newlyweds made way to see a large crowd. The Mane 6 and Gohan remained behind with Celestia. "You two." Celestia said, pointing a hoof at Gohan and Twilight. "This is your victory as much as theirs. You persisted in the face of doubt, and your actions led to your being able to bring the real Princess Cadence back to us. Learning to trust your instincts, is a valuable lesson to learn." Celestia said. 'Huh... Why does that sound like it's going to happen." Gohan thought. As Shining Armor and Cadence kissed, Rainbow Dash performed a Sonic Rainboom in a second. "BEST WEDDING EVER!" She yelled. *** Gohan did not attend the after party for some reason. The others celebrated and took pictures, danced, ate and did many fun things. However, Gohan sat beside Canterlot, merely sitting on it's edge. He looked to the sky, which had many fireworks. No one really questioned why Gohan didn't dance, or even come to the party. "Am I too late?" Goku asked, from Other World. Gohan snickered. "Kind of. Hey Dad." He said. "Man, this is completely different than the wedding your mother and I had." Goku said. "Really?" Gohan asked. "Oh yeah, we didn't have fireworks and all that. It was small, and that's when I became a prince. Heheh." Goku chuckled. "Oh, that's right. Grandpa Ox is a king." Gohan said. "Yeah... Just wanted to say hi. Anyway, talk to you later." Goku said. "Bye Dad." Gohan said. "Son Gohan?" A voice asked. Gohan looked back to see Princess Luna. "Hello, Princess Luna." Gohan said. "Why aren't you enjoying the festivities?" Luna asked. "I don't know, it just doesn't feel right. Or, I don't feel the urge to celebrate at the moment." Gohan said. "I see. We will be sure to leave you plenty of food." Luna said. "Thanks." Gohan said, looking back at the fireworks. "I almost forgot, we are short on fireworks." Luna said. "I can take care of those." Gohan said. "R-Really?" Luna asked. "Should I demonstrate?" Gohan asked, looking back at Luna again. Luna nodded. Gohan stood up, and threw two ki blasts. He made them spin around each other in the air, and made them explode into a giant heart shape. Everyone even from Ponyville could see it. "V-Very immense. I suppose you can handle the fireworks for now. How much longer can you handle this?" Luna asked. "Very long. It can be hours until I drop." Gohan said. "We shall reward you later for your time." Luna said. "You don't need to do that." Gohan said, blasting more ki blasts into explosions of hearts and regular circles. "You do not want us to reimburse you for your time?" Luna asked. "I don't want any money for something I find fun." Gohan said, creating more explosions. "Well, there is no doubt that your soul is pure. Have a good evening, Son Gohan." Luna said, trotting away. Gohan went back at it with extra blasts this time. *** "W-Who's handling the amazing fireworks?" Fluttershy asked. "Is that... Gohan?" Rarity asked. "Man, he never ceases to amaze us." Applejack said. "Yeah, with his awesomeness!" Rainbow Dash said. "Maybe I should hire him for fireworks for ALL the parties I throw!" Pinkie Pie said. "That's a good idea." Twilight said. *** The next morning Gohan packed up his things. Well, his few things. "Gohan?" Twilight asked. "Yeah?" Gohan asked. "I just wanted to thank you for... Not giving up for me. And saving my brother. That was a nightmare." Twilight said. "I thought there was something weird about the fake Cadence." Gohan said with a warm smile. "Why didn't you party with us?" Twilight asked. "I didn't feel like partying. In fact, I did the fireworks after Princess Luna said I could do it." Gohan said. "You always strike me as odd, you know?" Twilight said. "I guess I am a bit unusual. I mean, the way I didn't follow my heritage is why Spike didn't follow the ways of his heritage." Gohan laughed. "Yeah... He was about to stay there forever." Twilight said. *** They were back in Ponyville, and life was back to the usual.
The Crystal Empire Pt. 1 (Edited)"The princess wants us in Canterlot again?" Gohan asked. "Yes, and we have to hurry! To the train!" Twilight said, running to the train. Gohan flew and grabbed Twilight to take her to the train station. *** Gohan and Twilight entered the room. "I'm prepared for this test, Princess Celestia!" Twilight said, showing all her supplies. "This is a different kind of test." Celestia said, putting Twilight's supplies back in her saddlebag. "The Crystal Empire?" Twilight asked. She frantically looked through her books. "I'm sorry, I thought I had studied! I don't think there's anything in my books that-" "There wouldn't be." Celestia said. "Few remember it ever existed at all." Celestia said, using her magic to levitate a crystal. "What's important about the Crystal Empire?" Gohan asked. The crystal was laid on the floor, to reveal what was the Crystal Empire. It was beautiful, even showing the crystal ponies. "I do not know much. But I know it contains a powerful magic." Celestia said. "1000 Years ago, King Sombra, who's heart was as black as night, took over the Crystal Empire." Celestia said. The Crystal Empire projection turned into a wasteland. Then a projection of King Sombra appeared. The Crystal Empire was ruled by an evil looking guy, according to Gohan. Crystal ponies were slaves to Sombra. "He was ultimately overthrown, turned to shadow." Celestia said, showing a projection of her and Luna destroying Sombra. "He was banished to the ice of the Arctic North. But not before he put a curse upon the empire. A curse that caused it to vanish into thin air." Celestia said. The projection of the Crystal Empire disappeared. Celestia raised the gem with her magic. "If the empire is filled with hope and love, those things are reflected across all of Equestria." She said, making the gem shine rainbows. "If hatred and fear take hold..." Celestia said, using dark magic to create dark crystals around Twilight and Gohan. She destroyed them soon after. "Which is why I need your help to find a way to protect it." Celestia said. "You want me to help protect an entire empire?" Twilight asked. "It is, as I said, a different kind of test. But one I'm certain you will pass." Celestia said. Twilight seemed doubtful, but soon turned serious. "How do I begin?" She asked. "By joining Princess Cadence and Shining Armor in the Crystal Empire." Celestia said. "My brother's there?" Twilight asked. "He is. And your Ponyville friends will join you as well." Celestia said. "So, we just need to keep hatred from entering the Crystal Empire?" Gohan asked. "Correct." Celestia said. They walked/trotted away from the throne room. "I believe you will succeed. And when you do, You'll be on the next level of your studies." Celestia said. Luna was waiting outside. She had a serious face towards Twilight. Gohan scowled at her because he thought it was a contest. "But what if I fail?" Twilight asked. "You won't." Celestia said. "But... What if?-" Twilight after before Celestia put a hoof on Twilight. "You won't." She said. Gohan and Luna were having a scowling staring contest at this point. "That's enough you two." Celestia said, giggling afterwards. "Good game!" Gohan said with a smile. "As to you." Luna said with a smile. "Now Gohan, you will be a great addition to Twilight's journey. However, it is her alone who can assist Princess Cadence and Shining Armor in doing what needs to be done to protect the empire." Celestia said. "Alright." Gohan said. "Do you two understand?" Celestia asked. "Yes!" Twilight said. "Yes, ma'am!" Gohan said, saluting the princesses. "Then go. There is no time to lose." Celestia said, closing the doors. "Don't worry, you can do it." Gohan said. "I hope..." Twilight said. *** Spike, Gohan and the Mane 6 were all on their way to the Crystal Empire. On a train. They got off at the Frozen North. "Hah. I packed many scarves." Rarity said. Spike was carrying Rarity's stuff. There were many suitcases and bags. "Uh... Do you need help?" Gohan asked. "No... I can... Do this..." Spike said. "Twilight!" Shining Armor called. He was approaching in a mask. "Shining Armor?" Twilight asked. "Twily, you made it!" He said. They hugged. "We better get moving. There are things we can run into that we don't want to run into after dark." Shining Armor said. "What kind of things?" Fluttershy asked, scared. "Let's just say... The empire isn't the only thing that's returned." Shining Armor said. "Okay, let's go." Gohan said. "Oh, Gohan! Didn't even notice you!" Shining Armor said. "Let's get going before the frostbite hits you." Gohan said. "What about you?" Twilight asked. "This is not cold for me." Gohan said with a smile. "Yeah, it's a breeze." Rainbow Dash said. *** As the Mane 6, Spike, Gohan and Shining Armor traveled, they were hit by tremendous weather. Gohan was the only one unfazed. "Something keeps trying to get in! We think it's unicorn who originally cursed the place!" Shining Armor said. "But Princess Celestia said I was centered to find a way to protect the empire! If King Sombra can't get in, it must already be protected!" Twilight said. A loud howl was heard. A high strength could be sensed by Gohan. "We have to get to the Crystal Empire, now!" Shining Armor said. A dark magic figure appeared. It was smoke, practically. "That's it." Shining Armor said. "GO! I'll take it on!" Gohan yelled, running in front of the figure. The others already ran. However, the figure blasted rocks of some sort at the others. Gohan blasted them away. Gohan blasted the weird dust magic thing away. But it was coming back. It shot out weird rocks if some sort at Gohan's hands. Gohan tried blasting him again, but it didn't work! "What!?" Gohan asked. The figure was closing in. He smashed the figure with his fists, but it turned whole again and seemed unfazed. "So it's a spirit!" Gohan said, flying away. It was chasing Gohan. "Time to leave! SOLAR FLARE!" Gohan said, performing the Solar Flare. The figure shrieked. Gohan flew away, where the others were. *** They entered the barrier around the Crystal Empire. The Mane 6 and Spike marveled at the Crystal Empire. Gohan arrived shortly after. "Gohan! What happened back there?" Twilight asked. "I think that thing's a spirit. No wonder I couldn't destroy it with just a few simple blasts. I couldn't use my ki with my hands... Let me try again." Gohan said. Gohan powered up, and it didn't remove the rocks. "Okay, let's try THIS!" Gohan said, turning Super Saiyan. This got the rocks off. "Okay, I got it." He said. "Gohan, just look at how amazing the Crystal Empire looks!" Rarity said, pointing her hoof at it.
The Crystal Empire Pt. 3 (edited)After an, 'annoying' song according to Gohan, the Crystal Empire was decorated to how it was a thousand years ago. The Mane 6 made a whole fair for the empire. Jousting, flags, animals, instruments, you name it! It took a few days, but it was happening. Gohan began to tire from the lack of sleep. Bags appeared under his eyes. Twilight called for the Crystal Ponies to attend the Crystal Fair. Just from hearing Twilight yell for the ponies to come to the Crystal Fair made the Crystal Ponies sort of crystal again. But, the Crystal Heart wasn't the actual one. That was the one problem. The one Twilight made was merely temporary. "I'll retrieve the heart." Twilight said, rushing to find the Crystal Heart. Only Gohan and Spike came, the rest of the Mane 6 had to keep the Crystal Ponies happy with the fair. "Gohan, this is my test!" Twilight said. "The test doesn't say you can't get help. Besides, you may get lost in there!" Gohan said, pointing at the castle. "Ugh, you can come. Don't do anything, like Spike promised me!" Twilight said. After finding the throne room with the gem exactly like Celestia's, Twilight performed a dark magic spell. It revealed a staircase in the floor. "Wow, that's cool!" Gohan said. "No time, Crystal Heart!" Twilight said, rushing down the stairs. "I'll take us down there in a jiffy, and my aura can be a light!" Gohan called. "Fine!" Twilight exclaimed. "But nothing other than this!" She added. "Alright, alright." Gohan said. Gohan took Spike and Twilight and traveled to the bottom of the stairs at breakneck speeds. As they reached the bottom, a door appeared. Twilight attempted to open the door, but it kept moving. "Should I destroy it?" Gohan asked. "No, let me handle this." Twilight said, using another dark magic spell. When the door opened, each of them were put into a different place of mind. *** Twilight was suddenly in Celestia's palace. She looked around in confusion. "What are you doing here?" Celestia asked. "I-I don't know, I opened the door and then-" "Now you must go." Celestia said. She was clearly enraged. "Go where!?" Twilight asked. "Doesn't matter to me. You failed the test, Twilight!" Celestia said. Twilight was shocked. She failed!? "I don't understand, the test!?" Twilight asked. "Not only will you not move on to the next level of your studies, you won't continue your studies AT ALL!" Celestia called. Twilight was in tears. "B-But, you didn't say I wouldn't be your student if I failed!" She said. Celestia wrapped her wing around Twilight, only to push her away instantly. "Didn't I?" She asked, trotting away. "But, what do I do now!?" Twilight asked. She looked to see a stained glass with King Sombra defeating her! "No... No... no...." Twilight muttered. *** Gohan was having his own nightmare. *** He was suddenly back on Earth. "The heck?" He said to himself. He suddenly sported Piccolo's gi. Without the cape. And he was in the Cell Games arena? The Mane 6 were approaching him from afar. Twilight waved as she came closer. "Did you really think you won?" A familiar voice came from behind. A worried Gohan turned around to see... "Cell! You're back!?" Gohan asked. Cell chuckled. "Do you honestly think a barrier can protect the Crystal Empire?" He asked. "How do YOU know about that!?" Gohan asked. Cell chuckled. "Can't say. Speaking of which... Are those your new friends?" He asked, pointing at the close Mane 6. "No... Don't you dare hurt them!" Gohan yelled. "Oh, I won't... But they will." Cell said. Behind Gohan came many childish giggles and muttering. "The Cell Juniors!?" Gohan asked. They all charged at a petrified Mane 6. Gohan quickly flew after them, but he was suddenly stopped. Cell had caught his foot from behind. "Not this time, RUNT!" He yelled. He instantly swumg him around many times in less than a second and hurled him at a pillar of the arena. The pillar broke, obviously. "No!" He cried out. The Mane 6 were were being brutally and mercilessly beaten up... He tried to charge at them again, only to be halted by Cell once more. "You know what? I'll turn the entire planet to dust!" He yelled, charging a yellow ki blast in his hands. "Y-You wouldn't!" Gohan yelled. "Say goodbye to your precious Equestria!" Cell yelled. "Equestria?" Gohan asked. *** "GOHAN!" Spike screamed. This got them out of their trancelike state. "Are you okay?" Spike asked. "I... I'm here...? I'm here! Oh, thank Kami." Gohan said. "King Sombra's dark magic." Twilight explained. She opened the door with good magic this time. This revealed... another room. With another staircase. "UUUUGGGHHHH!" Spike groaned. "I'm here, remember?" Gohan asked. "Oh, right." Spike said. "We better make this quick, I'm getting tired." Gohan said. Gohan carried Twilight and Spike to the top, but he already began to pant. The barrier he kept was weakening as he himself was tiring. It's been two days. At the top, they saw a... Crystal Heart? "Alright, let's get the Crystal Heart so I can turn off the Super Saiyan and maybe take a nap!" Gohan said. "Alright! Now, let's get this Crystal Heart to Cadence!" Twilight said, carrying the Crystal Heart with her magic. But, suddenly, Twilight was trapped in dark spikes! She even dropped the Crystal Heart! "W-What!? No way, how did he get through!?" Gohan asked. "H-He!?" Spike asked. *** During all of this, King Sombra managed to get through Gohan's barrier with a little trick. Pinkie Pie was doing her usual crazy things around the outer walls of the barrier. Why was she outside of the barrier...? "This snow will go great with my 氷!" Pinkie yelled. (Not the full word but just flavored snow cone) King Sombra was lurking around... He snuck up behind Pinkie with his smoke form.... She was humming a song. I dunno, Smile? Don't know. And he possessed her by literally going into her body! Her eyes turned green, and her pupils were red. She was under complete control. She entered the barrier no sweat. And Sombra just exited for a good reason. He vomited rainbows as he left... Anyway, he already began his assault on the Crystal Empire. "My Crystal slaves..." He called. The Crystal Ponies were running everywhere crazily. They lost their sort of crystal look. The rest of the Mane 6 rushed to Cadence. "Princess! I accidentally let Sombra in!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed. "YOU WHAT!?" Cadence and Shining Armor asked. *** Gohan tried to smash the dark crystals to get Twilight out, but they kept regenerating too quickly. "D-Dang it! How will you pass the test if you don't get the Crystal Heart to Cadence!?" Spike asked. Twilight thought long and hard. She tried teleporting out of it, but she was put right back in. "D-Dang it!" Gohan shouted, smashing the rocks again. "Spike. You have to take it." Twilight said. "But Twilight-" "SPIKE! It doesn't matter if I die, JUST GET THE HEART TO CADENCE!" Twilight yelled. Spike picked up the dropped Crystal Heart. "It's the only way, Spike!" Gohan said, grabbing Spike and traversing down the castle from outside. King Sombra was already on his way to Twilight and the others. "THAT HEART IS MINE!" King Sombra declared. His form became physical again. "Spike, live through this for me." Gohan said, dropping Spike. "AAAHH!" Spike screamed. Gohan charged at King Sombra, and took advantage of his physical form. He pummeled him to stall him. King Sombra's assault was put to a halt. But Spike was still falling. "HEEELLLLP!" He screamed. Author's Note Well, I edited it to be better. Tell me what you think.
The Crystal Empire Pt. 4Cadence flew through the air, catching Spike in time. Gohan was still pummeling King Sombra. Cadence landed with the Crystal Heart in her magic. "The Crystal Heart has returned! May we use it to keep order and peace!" Cadence shouted, putting the Crystal Heart in it's rightful place. At the center of the castle. The Crystal Ponies were really Crystal Ponies again! Their wills alone began to overpower King Sombra's dark magic. Gohan finally stopped pummeling King Sombra. "What!? NO!" King Sombra asked. The Crystal Heart spun crazily, and made EVERYONE Crystal. Even Gohan, surprisingly. But since he was a Super Saiyan, he glowed extra bright. The Crystal Heart destroyed ALL of King Sombra's dark magic! It freed Twilight, too. Who also became a Crystal Pony. King Sombra was defeated, and exploded into many pieces. The Crystal Heart moved it's power to the top of the castle, where it displayed an amazing light show all across Equestria. Gohan turned off his Super Saiyan form and collapsed from exhaustion. He fell from the air and smashed onto the ground. He also fell asleep on the ground beside the Mane 6. The others, including Cadence and Shining Armor were a little touched to see Gohan sleeping. Spike looked to the top of the castle, where Twilight remained. "Good job, Spike." She said. *** Gohan woke up in a bed. He groaned as he woke up. "Is it homework time already?" He asked blindly. "No, silly!" Pinkie Pie said. Gohan was surprised to see the Mane 6 there. "W-Were you watching me sleep?" Gohan asked. "We wanted to make y'all were okay." Applejack said. "Uh... Okay. I'm going to pretend you guys never watched me sleep, because that sounds too familiar." Gohan said. Piccolo. "It took a long time to get you into this bed!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed. "Oh, I'm sorry. I probably should have left my weighted clothes at home." Gohan said. "Alright... Anyway, the Crystal Empire has been restored!" Twilight said. "Oh, you're all crystal!" Gohan said. "So are you, darling." Rarity said. "Oh... Wait, let me see if..." Gohan said, turning Super Saiyan. That wasn't a bright idea. Get it? "AAH! TOO BRIGHT, TOO BRIGHT!" Rainbow Dash screamed. Gohan turned it off instantly. "Sorry. Hah!" He said. "Please warn us next time you do that..." Fluttershy said. "I'm sorry." Gohan said. "Stop saying sorry!" Rainbow Dash said. "Oh, alright. Sorry about that." Gohan said. "You did it again, sugarcube." Applejack said. "Oh, man! Sorry, I'm an idi- I did it again! Oh, I am so sorry- NO!" Gohan said. Everyone began to laugh at his expense, but he laughed with them eventually. *** The Crystal Ponies were back to normal again. The Mane 6, Spike and Gohan were leaving after a festival. Shining Armor and Cadence were walking them to the train station. "I do wish that it was permanent!" Rarity said. "Oh well. You win some, you lose some." Gohan said. "Oh yeah! You looked very cute when you napped!" Pinkie Pie said. "O-Oh really, did I?" Gohan asked, scratching the back of his head. "Uh, yeah." The rest said. Gohan blushed and smiled nervously. "Everything will be okay now. Twily, you gotta stop saving my rump like this. It's a little embarrassing." Shining Armor joked. Twilight smiled in return, but also had a sad look. "I wasn't the one who delivered the Crystal Heart. I failed the test." Twilight said. "She'll give you a new test!" Shining Armor said. "I don't think she'll give me a new test." Twilight said. *** Everyone was back in Canterlot. Twilight finally ended her meeting with Celestia, Luna and Gohan. "B-But I wasn't the one who delivered the Crystal Heart to Cadence!" Twilight said, pointing at the stained glass with Spike delivering the Crystal Heart while Gohan was pummeling King Sombra. "It is true you did not deliver the Crystal Heart yourself. Spike delivered it because you didn't know how quickly you could escape the tower. You weren't willing to risk the citizens of the Crystal Empire in an effort to guarantee your own. It's self sacrifice, Twilight." Celestia said. "D-Does this mean...?" Twilight asked. What happened? SHE PASSED THE TEST! OH MY GOSH SHE PASSED THE DAMN TEST, HOLY JESUS SHE PASSED THE TEST THANK THE LORD OH MY GOD! SHE WON! SHE W- Sorry. "I PASSED THE TEST!" Twilight exclaimed after bursting through the door. By showing that she would risk her own life for others instead of always thinking of herself, she passed. "We knew you could do it, Twilight!" Spike said. "Thanks, Spike." Twilight said. Anyways, Gohan had to have a private chat with the princesses. "Gohan, you are a graceful and humble warrior, and we are grateful you are protecting Equestria. However, Twilight needs to learn many things about friendship on her own. Especially in situations such as these." Celestia said. "Okay. So you're saying don't step in unless she can't do anything, and Equestria would be doomed, and everything?" Gohan asked. "Correct." Luna said. "Alright, I think I can handle that. Keeps the spotlight off of me! Heheh." Gohan joked. Celestia and Luna giggled. "You also seem to have a sense of humor..." They said. "Okay." Gohan said. *** "So? What was the meeting about?" The Mane 6 asked. "Oh, it was nothing. Just catching up." Gohan said. "That's a little strange, but okay." Twilight said. "Okay, back to the basic routine!" Gohan said, punching his own palm. And everything was normal again. Well, until the Season Three shenanigans appeared.
Gohan's Life through Season 3 (Completely Revised)Season 3 was a real adventure for Gohan and the Mane 6. Before the event of Pinkie Pie's cloning, Gohan went to Zecora. *** "Beans of senzu? By all means, I am confused." Zecora said. "Here, let me show you." Gohan said, grabbing Zecora's book full of recipes. He flipped to the page of the senzu bean. He showed it to Zecora. "I see. You seek this bean?" Zecora said. "I'll even pay you, if that's what you want." Gohan said. "I believe that is reasonable." Zecora said. *** Gohan received the senzu beans, and went to Twilight's Treehouse. Well, to show her how the beans worked. "No way." Twilight said. "Yeah! Why don't I show you?" Gohan asked. "Fine." Twilight said. *** They were outside. Gohan removed his shirt. His body got him some stares. He was as buff as Bulk Biceps! Some ponies, like Twilight, found it difficult to look away. "Okay, now look." Gohan said. He aimed his hand at his stomach. "Don't mind this, just wait." He said. He blasted himself in the stomach! It penetrated him. Well, he overdid it, because he ended up coughing blood. In fact, you could see through the hole. "GOHAN! WHAT THE HECK!" Twilight asked. "Okay, I-I-I think I destroyed a few arteries... Like the celiac artery..." Gohan said. "Why!?" Twilight asked. "And now for the bean..." Gohan said weakly. Then he coughed more blood. Gohan ate the senzu bean and was healed completely. His stomach just morphed back to it's original... stomach. "See?" Gohan asked. "That shouldn't be physically possible, but I stand corrected." Twilight said. *** That was real funny. Now, when the Pinkie Pies came... He dealt with them in a different manner. *** Gohan's gravity chamber was overrun with Pinkie Pies! They were all repeating: "Fun!" "Oh, what the heck!?" He asked. They were pressing all sorts of buttons, messing up the programming, and the machine itself was getting beaten up. "Stop!" Gohan yelled. No stopping. "STOP!" Gohan screamed. Nope. Gohan turned into a Super Saiyan. "Stop." He said, grimly. Everyone stopped. "Thank you! Now, can anyone explain what's going on?" Gohan asked. ... "...Fun?" One Pinkie asked. "Fun!" They all said. Ah, damn it. Back to the jumping around. "Darn it!" Gohan said. He instantly chopped a pressure point on the backs of every Pinkies' neck. It's like time stopped for a moment. Until every Pinkie started falling one by one. "Okay... Now to figure this out." Gohan said to himself. *** Well, he couldn't figure it out. So he decided to go to Twilight if she knew. Gohan held a freaking ball of unconscious Pinkie Pies over his head on his way to Ponyville. You have no idea what kind of math he did to make sure they didn't just fall off. He calculated that he needed to hold them up at an approximate angle of 85 degrees while the Pinkies keeping all the Pinkies in had to refrain from moving in the slightest. So he had to take it nice and slow. ... 'This is difficult...' He thought. *** So, as it turns out, there are a lot more Pinkie Pie clones than you would've expected. Everyone in Ponyville is pissed off. Even Fluttershy was noticeably pissed off. The Real Pinkie couldn't even tell if she was the real one, and she just regretted making her clones. So the other ponies gathered in front of Twilight's home for some random reason. What is she, a princess? Uh... Anyway. Yeah, so, everyone is pissed off and they went to Twilight about it. "Okay, everypony, please, calm down!" She pleaded. "Calm down? I just had a Pinkie HURRICANE raging through my shop!" Rarity yelled. "And they trashed our critter picnic!" Fluttershy said. Damn, everyone had a complaint. Twilight couldn't think of any solution on the spot. ...And then there was a giant ball of Pinkie Pies slowly coming the ponies' way. "Remain calm!" Gohan yelled. Everyone noticed the Pinkies, and were about to panic. "These are only unconscious Pinkie Pies! I'm probably just as confused as you are!" He yelled. He finally managed to bring it down next to Twilight. His landing caused a slight shift, and the ball let loose, making a bunch of unconscious Pinkies fall on top of Gohan. The ones who did land on Gohan just bounced off. "...Huh." He said. "W-Why did you bring this...?" Twilight asked. "Anyway, I'm late to the game, does anyone know what's happening?" Gohan asked. "Well, other than the fact that there are approximately hundreds of Pinkie Pies roaming." He added. "They're ruining everything!" Everyone yelled at him. Jesus, they yelled it so loudly that his hair flew back for a moment. "...Other than that, too." Gohan said. "I don't know!" Twilight said. "Please, everypony, hang on while I try to figure something out!" She called to the ponies, opening her door. "Come on, Spike. I've gotta try to remember the name of that legend she mentioned." She whispered as Spike ran in. "Wait, what?" Gohan asked, running in. Twilight just groaned. "I'll let you in, but close the door!" She yelled. "Okay...! Sorry..." Gohan said, closing the door. "Anyway, what's this 'legend' you speak of?" He asked. "I don't know, Pinkie told me about it, but I can't remember!" Twilight said. Spike was already looking through the books. "Does it have anything to do with cloning?" Gohan asked. "That's exactly what it does." Twilight said. "Then I'm on it!" Gohan said, saluting before darting through the library. He was checking each book as fast as he could. Spike groaned as he just looked through his shelf. "I'll never find that- Huh?" He asked, finding a horseshoe button? At the back of a shelf? "Did you find something?" Twilight asked. Spike pressed the button, which opened a compartment for another book. He pulled it out, only for Twilight to take it with her magic. Gohan stopped his search. "Did you find it?" He asked, holding a few books about clones. "Aha! Here it is! The legend of the Mirror Pond..." Twilight said. "Oh. I'll just put these back, then." Gohan said, doing just that. "It describes a spell I can use to send them back where they came from!" Twilight said. "That's perfect! Let's go!" Spike said. "But how do we know which Pinkie is the real Pinkie?" Gohan asked. "That's the catch... We don't want to send her back by accident." Twilight said. "Well, we'll just have to figure out who the real one is then. Shouldn't be too hard." Spike said. "Spike. They're exact mirror copies of Pinkie. It's near impossible to find the real one, because they'll all probably just say that they're the real one." Gohan said. "You never know if they'll be honest." Spike said. "It's worth a try." Gohan said. *** They went outside, and tried it out. Well, it's as follows. "I'm the real Pinkie!" "No you're not, I'm the real Pinkie!" "Nuh-uh! I'm the real Pinkie!" ~~"Fuck you, you are! I'm the real Pinkie!"~~ "You lying sacks of lies! I am!" "No, I am!" "Is that a challenge?" "Bet you're not as real as me!" ~~"Oh, it's on, asshole!"~~ And so forth. It's endless. All the Pinkies, even the previously unconscious ones were jumping around town. They gathered to compete in the 'Who's the real Pinkie?' Competition. "This was a horrible plan." Gohan said. "Agreed." Twilight said. "How in tarnation are we supposed to tell which is the real Pinkie?" Applejack asked. "I don't know." Twilight said worriedly. "Me either." Possibly the real Pinkie said. "Ohh... We've all got the same adorable tails, we've all got the same adorable manes, we've all got the same adorable hooves! Which one of us IS the real Pinkie!? Oh! I haven't the slightest clue! And if I can't tell us apart... WHO CAN!?" She yelled. She started crying. "...Pinkie doesn't really utilize an expanded vocabulary, does she?" Gohan asked. Translation: She doesn't use big words, does she? "Nope! I only know the same words I know since I was a filly!" Pinkie said, suddenly snapping out from her crying. "We need a game plan." Gohan said. "A test?" Pinkie asked. ... "...Elaborate." Twilight said. "Pick something really hard for a Pinkie to do, something not fun at all! Any Pinkie that can't do it goes back into the pond. But whoever wants to stay the most, that must be the real Pinkie!" Pinkie said. "I can't see this working." Gohan said. "You know, that's not a bad idea." Twilight said. "What?" Gohan asked. "The real Pinkie has unlimited tenacity, and she gets things done. From the way the clones act, they don't have much of an attention span." Twilight said. "Well, I suppose..." Gohan said. "We need to come up with a test. Gohan, you're coming with me!" Twilight said, running back into her house. "Do I have a choice?" Gohan asked, slowly following her. *** "We have the test!" Twilight said. "Now go round them up! But don't make them unconscious, that'll screw up the plan." Twilight said. *** Well, test time. Gohan finally managed to get every single Pinkie Pie roaming about into the boutique. Using tricks, lies and... Well, for the extreme measures, he had to just use force. The rest of the Mane 6 were there, spectating. Problem is, the Pinkies can't calm down. They're just jumping all over the place in this empty room. Except for one. She's just sitting there, sad. Twilight came up to the stage. "Welcome, Pinkies, welcome. Please have a seat and make yourselves comfortable." She called. ...Nope. "Okay, I suppose you can't be comfortable staying in one place, but have a seat anyway." Twilight said. ... "Sit down!" She yelled. They ain't listening. Gohan took it upon himself to do it. So he got up on stage. Then he went Super Saiyan. "Sit down. NOW." He said. They all sat down. "Better. Now, I suppose you're all wondering why I had Gohan over here forcibly make you gather here today." Twilight said. "For fun?" A Pinkie asked. "No, just the opposite actually." Twilight said. "What!?" They all yelled. They looked angry, and ready to fight! ...Until they saw Gohan make his aura flare. They sat down again. "Pinkies, you've been brought here to take a test." Twilight said. They all groaned in unison. "Don't worry, it's a simple test, about as simple as they come, and whoever passes gets to stay." Twilight said. So all the Pinkies liked the sound of that. "Curtain, please." She said. Spike pulled the rope, and the test was revealed to be a wall of recently painted paint. "The test... will be watching paint dry!" Twilight said. Now there were boos again. Gohan gave the death stare, and they piped down once more. "On your mark, get set, go!" Twilight said. They all stared at the wall. "Oh, this is so exciting!" Spike said, grabbing some popcorn and a chair. *** "Okay, maybe not that exciting." He said. Nothing was happening. Fucking NOTHING. ...Oh, there we go! It took a long time, but eventually, each Pinkie was going down one by one. By losing focus because of many things. Like birds, boredness, wanting to jump and touch the ceiling, wanting to watch that happen, orange frogs, making fingers appear on hooves, watching that happen, making a face that resembled G3, watching that, and countless other things. Twilight was so burned out, that Gohan just destroyed a few of them with ki. First time he did that, the Mane 6 gasped! "What?" Gohan asked. Then he realized. "Don't worry, they're not real. There's no blood when that happens." He said. So now we're down to two fucking competitors! ...They're taking so goddamn long. I can't take it anymore! Someone just end the thing already! Well, Rainbow Dash had enough as well, so... "Somepony's making balloon animals!" She said. The faker stopped to look! "What? Where?" She asked. And then it's over. The last Pinkie clone is gone. The real Pinkie (we think) is the winner...! ...She's still looking at the paint. "You can look away, Pinkie." Twilight said. "I passed?" Pinkie asked. "You passed. You're the only Pinkie who kept staring at the wall." Twilight said. "Only the real Pinkie has that much of an attention span." Gohan said, still a Super Saiyan for some reason. "I'm me! I'm me! YAY!" Pinkie cheered, jumping in the air. *** That was just fokin great. Let's move on. Gohan helped the Cutie Mark Crusaders with their float. ...And with family relations. *** The Cutie Mark Crusaders were desperate to impress Applebloom's cousin, Babs Seed. She was from Manehattan! I don't know, I've been to Manhattan and it kinda sucks. Probably because I had to go there a lot. Damn you, life! Unrelated. Sorry. Anyway, they tried impressing her with the CMC Clubhouse and failed miserably... So they decided to impress her with the float they have Gohan making for the Summer Harvest Parade. *** Gohan was working on the trio's pumpkin float for the parade in the barn. It's because he's the super nerd hero. He knew all the blueprints, tools and resources necessary. The Crusaders just don't do math very often. ~~I love math. My favorite subject.~~ He was just about done. The trio had Babs Seed go to the barn where Gohan had been working. "Here it is! The official Cutie Mark Crusaders float for the Summer Harvest Parade!" Applebloom said, showing the nearly finished work of art. Gohan was just about to put a wheel on the float. "Hey you guys! Who's your friend?" Gohan asked. Babs Seed looked at Gohan with a confused look on her face. "What is that?" Babs asked. "I'm Gohan." Gohan said. "Yes, he's our friend. He helped build this!" Applebloom said. "As a member of the Cutie Mark Crusaders, you can ride with us, Babs!" Scootaloo said, flapping her wings in excitement. Babs Seed chuckled awkwardly. "More like FUNNY!" Diamond Tiara said. Gohan face palmed when he heard that. "Both of you, just leave us alone please? And can you stop calling me an ape?" Gohan asked. Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon appeared. "Well sorry, MONKEY!" Diamond Tiara said, and the two laughed. Gohan and the trio looked at them with death stares. "What is that thing? A giant orange?" Silver Spoon asked, trotting up to the float with Diamond Tiara before laughing. "It's a pumpkin. Wow, I expected fifth graders to be smart, not blind." Gohan said. "Whatever. More like a lamekin." Diamond Tiara said before they laughed again. "What an insult. We are truly hurt by a word that doesn't exist." Gohan said sarcastically. "Who's the new blank flank?" She asked, referring to Babs Seed. Babs hid her flank with her tail in embarrassment. "She's my cousin, Babs. She's from Manehattan." Applebloom said. "Oh. Nice to meet you Babs." Gohan said, waving. Babs still looked confused at him. "Manehattan, huh? Well, I guess you have that going for you." Diamond Tiara said. "I suppose you're going to join their little club? What's it called? The Cutie Mark Crusaders?" Silver Spoon mocked. "Can't you be nice to them? I mean, being a blank flank doesn't mean anything. It just means they have hidden potential." Gohan defended. "Coming from a blank flank." Diamond Tiara said before they laughed again. "I don't have the body of a pony, so I am not able to receive a Cutie Mark." Gohan said. "But I do know potential." He added. "Whatever, ape. Anyway, what'll you do, Manehattan mare?" Diamond Tiara asked. Babs Seed had to decide between her cousin or these new ponies. And the hero of the place. So... She blew her Mane out of her face. "More like the Cutie Mark Crybabies!" Babs said, walking to the duo. Gasp! "Babs! Don't be so mean to your cousin!" Gohan said. "Who are you to tell me, ape?" Babs asked. "Getting a million Frieza vibes from you, GOSH." Gohan mumbled like an edgy teen. "Ooh, big city attitude. I like it." Diamond Tiara asked. "Oh yeah? Well there's more where that came from. Check this out." Babs said, kicking and breaking the emergency brake. Also known as the piece of wood that kept the float from rolling down a hill? Le gasp! "Oh, no she didn't!" Scootaloo said with some sass. Snickers and laughs from our two most hated fillies in the room... "No! Darn it!" Gohan said, running beside it. "What's wrong? How's that feel?" Babs asked. "I didn't add the steel to sustain the movement yet, and you had to destroy the emergency break, darn it!" Gohan yelled. Well, nobody knew what the fuck he was saying. "How could you do that? That's just mean!" Gohan said. They didn't care. Babs just shrugged. The pumpkin lost it's base because of the lack of an emergency break, and started rolling down the hill. More laughing. "I got this!" Gohan yelled, running after it. Damn, it started chipping away, and some of the wood broke apart. He quickly ran past it, only to hold his hands out to stop it. Problem is, now there are two holes in the float. Gohan groaned. Nonetheless, he took his hands out and lifted it up. "What are you guys doing!?" He asked. Now everyone was shocked to see him lifting a FUCKING FLOAT UP! Sorry. "Someone could've been seriously hurt!" He yelled. Applebloom was furious. "When I tell Applejack-" "When you tell Applejack what?" Babs asked, closing the gap between her and Applebloom. "What are you, a snitch?" Babs asked. Gohan set the pumpkin back where it was so that it wouldn't roll again. "There's a difference between a snitch and telling on a bully." Gohan said. "And what would you know!?" Babs retorted. "What would I know? You're being a huge jerk, and you're acting very disrespectful to your cousin." Gohan said. "Sorry, I didn't think crybabies deserve any respect! Hah!" Babs mocked. More laughs. He had enough. In a short fit of rage, Gohan turned into a Super Saiyan, completely confusing the three jerks. He slowly walked up to Babs. "Now listen here, you ignorant little filly. When you respect other ponies, they respect you back. If you can't be bothered to respect your cousin, or her friends, then please, kindly leave her alone. You got that?" He asked in a scary yet low voice. He was towering over Babs. ... ...No response. Too scared. "Answer the question!" Gohan yelled on impulse. He didn't mean to, he got angry for his friends. ... "Wow, he loses his temper like an ape too!" Diamond Tiara said, before the three laughed. "Yeah, I got it, monkey." Babs mocked. "Come on, Babs. You should hang with us. You know, the cool ponies! Not these babies!" Diamond Tiara said, as the three trotted away. Applebloom was shocked. ... "What... Just happened?" She asked. "I think she just turned to the dark side." Scootaloo said. "Your cousin showed up, the bullies showed up, made her into a complete jerk, she tried to destroy your float and your cousin happens to not like you, Applebloom." Gohan said. "We know." Applebloom said. "Oh. Then why'd you ask the question...? Nevermind. I'm sorry I lost my temper." Gohan said. Applebloom was devastated. "We have to tell Applejack!" Sweetie Belle said. "No! We can't be snitches!" Applebloom said. "But that's totally irresponsible. If your own family member is bullying you like that, then you really need to tell Applejack. Or someone else." Gohan said. "But I don't wanna be a snitch..." Applebloom said. "And we don't want to be babies!" Scootaloo said, standing on her backhooves and crossing her forehooves. "...Then why do I feel like crying?" Sweetie Belle asked. 'Ugh....' Gohan thought. "Is the float okay?" Scootaloo asked. "Er..." Gohan responded, scanning the float. "It's received heavy internal damage, so it won't be able hold more than one filly. I already did the exterior designs, so we'd have to pick it apart just to fix what's inside." He said. "Oh, man! I can't believe she ruined our float!" Scootaloo said angrily. "I can't believe I'm related to a big stinkin' bully!" Applebloom said angrily. "What are we going to do?" Sweetie Belle asked. "Should we build a new float?" Applebloom asked. Gohan tried looking at the interior through the holes he made in the float. "...Yeah, we need a new one." He said. "But she'll probably break that one, too." Scootaloo said. "Well, do you want to participate in the parade?" Gohan asked. "I really don't mind making another float." He said. "We do, but we don't want her to destroy it!" Applebloom said. "Then you need to resolve your family matters..." Gohan said, just reminding himself of his own family matters. '...I miss mom.' He thought. "But we don't want to be snitches!" Scootaloo said. Gohan sighed. "You'll have to figure this out on your own. Once you know what you want to do, let me know if we're making the float again." He said. *** Yeah, so... Babs and her new friends were bullying the hell outta the Crusaders. Stealing their milkshakes, scaring them, and overall mocking them. They grew scared of them, damn. Especially Babs, for some reason. It's like they had to have eyes in the back of their heads just to make sure they weren't there. But they still got pranked. ~~"It's just a prank, bro."~~ After a very long day, our trio were convinced that the others would run them out of town. I mean, Applebloom went through torture at home. They were walking towards their clubhouse, since that's the only safe place they know of. "Babs may have run us out of town, but at least we still have the club...house?" Applebloom asked. Well, Babs was at the balcony of the clubhouse already. And she noticed the Crusaders. "Hey! What're you doing at MY clubhouse?" She sneered. "Y-Y-Your clubhouse!?" Scootaloo asked angrily. "It's OUR clubhouse!" The Crusaders said. "Well, it WAS yours, but now it's MINE!" Babs sneered. "And mine!" Diamond Tiara sneered, appearing beside Babs. "And mine!" Silver Spoon sneered, doing the same thing. Applebloom was heartbroken. "That's not fair, Babs! We never did anything to you!" She said. "And let's keep it that way. Now scram, crybabies!" Babs yelled, destroying the only means of getting up to the clubhouse and out. I think she trapped herself without realizing it. The three bullies all giggled and went inside. Sweetie Belle was on the verge of crying. "Don't cry... This is the one thing they CAN'T take away from us." Applebloom said. "How!?" Scootaloo asked. "Let's get our other friend..." Applebloom said with a devilish smirk. *** The Crusaders returned to their clubhouse with a special friend of theirs. The only nerdy Saiyan. Our bullies all got on the balcony again. "Great, now they brought the ape." Diamond Tiara said with a small voice. They all laughed with each other with that comment. "Hey! I take offense to that!" Gohan yelled. "How did you even hear them?" Scootaloo asked. "What do you want, crybabies!?" Babs yelled. "My friends want their clubhouse back!" Gohan yelled. Then Applebloom whispered some stuff in his ear. "And for you to stop bullying them!" Gohan added. Those bullies all laughed again. "And what are YOU gonna do about it, huh?" Babs sneered. "Well, first off, try to resolve the issue without any sort of violence. Now, can we all respect each other and get along?" Gohan asked. "I don't think they deserve it!" Silver Spoon sneered. "Then you don't deserve anyone else's respect. I'm going to come up there if you don't give it back!" Gohan yelled. "Hah! Like you could get up here!" Babs sneered. Gohan jumped high into the sky, and landed in front of our bullies. He gave them extreme death stares. They all just stared back at him, with scared looks. ... Eventually they started sweating. ... 'Extreme measures.' Gohan thought. He got into a fighting pose and turned into a Super Saiyan with a glaring aura. Babs pulled a rope to create some sort of slide off the remaining stairs and they ~~made like the UK, and BREXITED THAT SHIT~~ got the heck outta there. They ran right past the Crusaders, and now they knew how the Crusaders felt. "Sweet revenge...!" Scootaloo whispered. "That actually felt great!" Applebloom said. "That wasn't great at all!" Gohan called. He wasn't a Super Saiyan now. "You still haven't made up. That's an unhealthy relationship." He said. "I know... But she's just so rotten!" Applebloom said. "I can relate, but revenge isn't the answer." Gohan said. He jumped down to that makeshift slide. "Anyway, we have to fix up the stairs." He said. "And how do we do that...?" Applebloom asked. "Actually, just let me handle that. You can go on and do whatever." Gohan said, walking up to a dying tree. Well, let's just say he was starting to recreate the stairs. So he wasn't paying attention. "That was a close one." Scootaloo said. "Yeah. Being kicked out of our own clubhouse would be too much." Sweetie Belle said. "It's already too much for me, she stole my bed!" Applebloom said. "Seriously?" Scootaloo asked. "Super-Seriously." Applebloom said. "Then you need to talk to Applejack!" Sweetie Belle said. "No!" Applebloom instantly responded. "Rarity...?" Sweetie Belle asked. "No!" Again. "Twilight...?" Sweetie Belle asked. "No, no, no!" Applebloom said. "Goha- Wait a minute." Sweetie Belle said. "No, we need to fight back!" Applebloom said. "Yeah!... How are we gonna do that?" Scootaloo asked. Applebloom thought about it for a moment, then she had it. "By makin' her the guest of honor at the Summer Harvest Parade!" She said. "Yeah! Wait, what?" Scootaloo asked. Applebloom did a little evil chuckle. "When you look up 'embarrassed' in the dictionary..." She whispered. "Her face will be there!" She whispered. "But how are we going to do that?" Scootaloo asked. "We have our builder, we just need to booby trap it!" Applebloom said. "But isn't that wrong...?" Sweetie Belle asked. "She deserves it! Besides, she'll keep ruining our lives if we don't show her who's boss!" Applebloom said. "Hey!" She called to Gohan. "Sorry! I just need to get some nails for the stairs! Be right back!" Gohan said, about to fly off. "Wait!" Applebloom said. "Hold up!" Scootaloo said. Gohan stopped before he flew. "We'd like you to, um... Make the float... Again." Applebloom said. ... "Okay." Gohan said. "But we want it to be a giant Apple this time!" Applebloom said. "Uh... Sure. What made you change your mind?" Gohan asked. "Are you going to make up with your cousin with it?" He asked. Applebloom giggled. "She'll see..." She said with an evil face and a few sinister laughs. ... "...It's for revenge, isn't it." Gohan said. "W-What? No!" Applebloom lied. "Lying won't help. I'm not making a float so you could smash it into her or something." Gohan said. "Well, we had something else in mind." Scootaloo said. "Unless it's not for revenge, no way." Gohan said. "Fine... It won't be for revenge." Applebloom said. "Are you SURE now?" Gohan asked. "Yeah... I'll tell Applejack and try to fix it..." Applebloom said. Gohan smiled. "There you go, now we got it. I'll get that float done after this." He said. Then he flew off to get some nails. ... "...You're not really going to do that, right?" Scootaloo asked. "Nope." Applebloom said. *** Well, the whole float making process is happening. "Emergency brake... Check. Steering mechanism... Check. Fuel tank... Check." Yadda yadda. It was finally done, a giant apple! 'Two floats, Kami.' Gohan thought. So he got our riders to look at it. Who happened to be carrying saddlebags. "Is that what you wanted...?" He asked. "This is perfect!" Applebloom said. "Thanks so much!" Sweetie Belle said. "It's totally awesome!" Scootaloo said. "Can we make a few teensy tiny edits?" Applebloom asked. "Uh... Sure. What kind of edits?" Gohan asked. "Oh, we just want to change the apple color." Sweetie Belle said. "What's wrong with this one?" Gohan asked. "It's green." Scootaloo said. "You don't like green?" Gohan asked. "Well, it's not that, we prefer a different color." Applebloom said. "Oh. Okay. Go nuts, just make sure you don't put a dent in it." Gohan said, walking away. "Thanks!" The trio yelled. "Happy to help!" Gohan yelled. ... "Okay, did y'all bring the stuff?" Applebloom asked. *** Our Prankster Crusaders had trouble with the booby traps, but nonetheless, got it done. Problem: The blueprints. Our three were trying to see the interior of the float through the blueprints, but... "What's a 'mechanism?'" Applebloom asked. "What's a 'flux capacitor?'" Scootaloo asked. "What's an 'interior?'" Sweetie Belle asked. "How are we gonna do anything if we can't read this?" Scootaloo asked. "Let's just build our traps around his big words... We have to just stop the steering wheel and the brakes at the right time." Applebloom said. Well, they finally did it. By the crack of dawn. "Is... Is this it...?" Sweetie Belle asked. She had bags under her eyes. So did the other two. The float was a giant golden apple with a booby trap set inside it to stop the steering and the brakes. Including that emergency break. The trap was a kitchen timer. "I think... we're a go." Scootaloo said. "Good, 'cause we'd better get out of here before Babs finds us." Sweetie Belle said. They all did a tired threeway high five. *** Well, parade time. There was a road paved for the floats, but the ones who aren't participating are left to be on the side of that road. Gohan was just making sure there was nothing wrong with the exterior of the float... Nonetheless, he was pretty surprised that they got this to become so shiny golden. "I'm impressed. Well, have fun, you three." He said, walking away, into the crowd. "Thanks!" The trio said again. They giggled sinisterly... Meanwhile, our three little bullies happened to be walking about, and noticed how amazing the Crusaders' float was. "Whoa...!" Babs said. She was flabbergasted. Well, Sweetie Belle noticed them noticing the float. "Isn't it smashing?" She asked. Then the other two looked at her as if she actually revealed something. "No! I-I didn't mean smashing! I mean... Isn't it a hit? No! No, I- No! No hitting! I meant– Ugh..." Yeah, Sweetie Belle gave up. Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon just left, they didn't care. Babs remained. Scootaloo rushed to her. "Well, don't even THINK about riding it, Babs!" She said. She winked at her fellow Crusaders. Sweetie Belle was looking into space. Applebloom nudged her. Sweetie Belle then jumped into the float to start the engine. Vroom vroom, anyone? Sweetie Belle then started the timer... For some reason, Applebloom decided to drag a mattress to beside the float. The two winked back. "You had your chance." Scootaloo taunted. Babs looked over to her fellow bullies, who obviously didn't care whatsoever. But she wanted to impress them, so... She rammed into the Crusaders, shoving them out of the way. And onto that mattress. She opened the door. "See ya later, Cutie Mark Crybabies!" She yelled, shutting the door. Then she was off. "The timer set?" Applebloom asked. Wink wink. They got up from the mattress. "Teach her to fool with the Cutie Mark Crusaders!" Sweetie Belle said. ...Then Applejack happened to be by, holding three balloons. She also happened to miss that entire interaction. "Y'all are letting Babs ride in your golden apple float?" She asked. "Yeah. We thought she deserved to be the... center of attention." Applebloom said. The Crusaders all giggled sinisterly... But Applejack couldn't notice the evil. "Well, that's just super sweet of y'all, makin' Babs feel so special. Y'know, after all the heartache she's been havin' in Manehattan." Applejack said. Then the Crusaders felt a little bad and confused. "Heartache?" Applebloom asked. "Well, I didn't say nothin' 'cause I didn't want her to feel singled out, but there's been some bullies back in Manehattan just been teasin' her to pieces for her blank flank." Applejack said. "T-teased?" Applebloom asked. "B-Bullied!?" Sweetie Belle asked. Now our trio felt devastated. "Yup. She came up to the farm to get away from all her problems back home." Applejack said. She hooved the balloons over to the trio. "I'm so proud of y'all. You've done a good deed." She said, walking away. Those balloons deflated somehow. "So that's why she jumped in when Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon started giving us a hard time!" Scootaloo said. "She didn't want to be bullied like at home, so she decided to BE a bully instead!" Applebloom said. "And now we've turned into bullies too!" Sweetie Belle said. "What do we do!?" The Crusaders all asked. ... "We have to tell somepony." Sweetie Belle said. "Applejack?" Applebloom asked. "I think Gohan." Scootaloo said. "We don't have time to find them, we just have to get Babs outta that float!" Applebloom said. Well, let's cut to Babs. She caught up to Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon with her stolen float. "Nice float, Babs." Diamond Tiara said. "Snagged it from those whiny baby blank flanks." Babs said. "Too cool for mule, Babs." Diamond Tiara said. Now our Crusaders were running after the float. "We gotta stop that float!" She yelled. Well, the parade's happening, and our main cast were looking at it. With Gohan eating a crepe and noticing something. 'Wait... Babs is in the float, but my friends are- Sweet Kami.' He thought. He completely ate the crepe before wiping his mouth and jumping up. High. "Uh... Why is he jumping?" Twilight asked. "Beats me." Rainbow Dash said. "You'll understand soon!" Gohan called. "I guess that's that." Fluttershy said. There's about half a minute left before the brakes and the steering gets stopped. Our Crusaders were trying to catch up, and they were right behind the golden apple float. They just couldn't get to the side or anything. Then they noticed Gohan jump on top of the float. "Hey- What in tarnation is he doing!?" Applejack asked. "He noticed." Scootaloo said. "Gohan!" Applebloom yelled. "I'll get your float back for you, just hold on!" Gohan said. "No, we rigged it!" Sweetie Belle said. Well, Gohan was long gone. Babs was waving at the masses of ponies... And then an upside down Gohan just appeared outside her viewing space. There are no windshields. ~~"Hey kid! Want to see a dead body?"~~ "Dah!" She yelled in surprise. "Hello there, Babs." Gohan said grimly. "What kind of voodoo is this...?" Babs asked. "I'm going to ask you to give this back to my friends. I worked really hard on this contraption." Gohan said. The Crusaders finally got to the side of the float. 10 seconds... They were nearing a cliff, which, if anyone was to fall off of, they'd land in a mud pile. That's the plan for Babs to embarrass her. "Gohan, Babs!" Applebloom yelled. "Don't worry, I'm getting the float back." Gohan said. "Yeah, right, like I'm gonna hand this back over to the crybabies!" Babs said. "No, you don't understand!" Scootaloo said. "Babs! You gotta get out of that float!" Applebloom said. "Why should I, huh?" Babs asked. "It's booby trapped!" Scootaloo said. "What!?" Gohan asked. "Yeah, right." Babs said. Then the timer went off. The steering wheel was locked in place, and the brakes were completely nulled. "What did you do!?" Gohan asked, not being upside down anymore. "We jammed the brakes and the steering!" Sweetie Belle said. Babs tried grabbing hold of the steering wheel, but it was jammed. Brakes were jammed as well. The Crusaders all acted on instinct to jump into the float. They were right at the edge. "What are you doing here!?" Babs asked. "Saving my-" Applebloom said, before the float suddenly stopped. Gohan pushed the float back, just so it wouldn't fall off the edge. He stood on the ground again. The four fillies all looked outside. Babs was surprised. "You were trying to save me? After all I've done to you?" She asked. "Well..." Applebloom said, before- "Hey! Move the float!" Pinkie yelled from behind. She was in a lettuce float (literally.) "Sorry!" Gohan yelled. He lifted the float up. Big mistake, because there was no windshield for the fillies to be saved by. They fell through that tiny hole to see through. "Crapbaskets..." Gohan said. He threw the float aside, where it wouldn't be in anyone's way. Damn, it's ruined. 'I worked so hard on that... Oh well.' Gohan thought. He jumped and dived down for the screaming girls. There was no way he could hold them all at once, but he could have them on top of him all at once... Confusing? You'll figure it out. 'Steady, steady...!' He thought. He zoomed down, and...! The four fillies were all right! And happened to be sitting at the exact same heights. They stopped screaming and realized they were okay. "Uh... What happened?" Applebloom asked. They all looked down and realized that they were all sitting on Gohan's head, back and legs. He strained really hard to keep the position. Sweetie Belle ended up sitting on his head, Scootaloo sat on the back, and Applebloom and Babs ended up on the legs. "P-Please... Do NOT move a muscle..." Gohan said with a strained voice. He slowly flew back to the top of the cliff. "I don't understand what's happening anymore..." Babs said. "Actually, we're pretty confused as well." Applebloom said. 'Steady... Steady...' He thought. He barely got over the cliff... He slowly fell down to the ground, where he very slowly fell flat on his face. "You caa ge off now." He said in a muffled voice. The fillies all got off him. The Mane 6, excluding Pinkie, as well as Spike rushed to them. "What in tarnation were you doing, Gohan!?" Applejack asked, clearly angry. Gohan pushed himself up. "I'll admit, when I moved the float, that was entirely my fault..." He said, standing up. "But there's more to this than I thought." He added. "What!?" Applejack asked. "Are y'all fillies all right?" She asked. "Yeah... We're fine." Scootaloo said. "Why did you save me?" Babs asked Gohan. "I think we all tried." Gohan said. "Well, yeah, but why?" Babs asked. "Babs, you should know..." Applebloom said. "We were the reason it was headed into the lake." Scootaloo said. Our Crusaders all looked saddened. "What?" Applejack asked. "We booby trapped the float." Sweetie Belle said. "Y'see Babs, we were tryin' to get you back for bein' a big bully..." Applebloom said. "But then Applejack told us about how you were being bullied back in Manehattan." Scootaloo said. "And we figured out you were just doing it to avoid getting picked on in Ponyville. But, by then... we were the ones being bullies. And... Oh, why does life have to be so ironic!?" Sweetie Belle asked. "I guess what we're trying to say is..." Applebloom said. "We're sorry." All the Crusaders said. Babs blew her mane out from her eyes. "I'm sorry too." She said. "In hindsight, I'm partially responsible for this." Gohan said. "So I'm sorry too." He said. "What did you do?" Applejack asked. "I made the float again. I knew that they wanted revenge, but I didn't expect them to actually make such booby traps. Stopping the brakes like that is impressive..." Gohan said. ... "Y'know..." Applejack said, cutting the silence. "This all could've been avoided if y'all just came to me in the very beginning." She said. "I said that. But someone decided to lie." Gohan said, looking at Applebloom. "Yeah..." Applebloom said. Babs felt horrible for driving them to attempt this. "So... can we... start over?" She asked. "Definitely!" Applebloom instantly said. *** That was fun. And then Trixie's return was just hilarious. Hilariously awful. *** Let's go over this. A hooded pony went to a store on a dark and stormy night. In search of something... This particular store had something this pony desired... It was also a mess of collector's items. The hooded one was rummaging through the stuff, but ultimately couldn't find what she was looking for. But then, a light shone. A lamp. The shopkeeper was there, wearing some sort of monk's gear. Looking at his magnifying glass and potion bottle cutie mark, you could tell he was a man of science. He had tiny Harry Potter spectacles with a yellow hue in his pupils. "May I help you, traveler?" He asked. The hooded one walked out to the counter. "Hmm, something drew you to my shop... something powerful." The shopkeeper said. The hooded pony pointed a hoof at something. "Ah, you have a keen eye. The Alicorn Amulet is one of the most mysterious and powerful of all the known magical charms." The shopkeeper said. The hooded pony sign language demanded the amulet. "Uh, ah- I'm afraid this is... far too dangerous." The shopkeeper said. Then a big bag of bits was thrown on the counter. ... "Would you like that gift-wrapped?" He asked. *** Well, another day. Twilight wanted to practice a new spell on Fluttershy's animals... Not to change them in any way, or harm them, of course. But Fluttershy was still paranoid Twilight would mess up. Despite Twilight and Spike's best efforts to convince her not to worry, she still was paranoid. So she requested that Gohan would be there to make sure nothing bad would happen... Everyone was outside Fluttershy's cottage, including all sorts of little woodland critters. "Don't be scared, little friends. Twilight is wonderful with magic." Fluttershy said to her animals... ...But then she ran right up to Twilight. "Anything happens to them, Twilight, so help me..." She threatened... Then Spike broke it up. "Aww, don't worry, Fluttershy, Twilight's magic has gotten a lot better since she accidentally crushed me and Applejack with a giant snowball." Spike said. Twilight blushed at that notion. "Yeah, her magical power has also increased exponentially." Gohan said. "Color me impressed, you're gaining a lot of power that I wouldn't be surprised if you were alicorn level." He added. "Thanks..." Twilight said. "You're not alicorn level yet, but at this rate, you'll get there. You're a very strong unicorn, magicwise." Gohan said. "Of course she's good with magic." Fluttershy said. "Twilight's great with magic. I guess I just don't want my little friends to be scared. Oh, oh, look how scared they are!" She said... ...Her little friends were excited. "I promise, Fluttershy. Nothing bad will happen to them." Twilight said. "I know!" Fluttershy said, high pitched. She's sweating bullets, jeez. "Don't worry, if any of them even gets a cut, we have these." Gohan said, patting his senzu bean sack, tied to his belt. Twilight put the critter in her magic and- "Stop, stop! They can't take it!" Fluttershy said, covering her eyes. Twilight didn't even fucking move them. Nonetheless, she continued. She started making the critters fly up, in a big circle. They were all cheering and laughing. Then she skewed them a little bit... Fluttershy was biting her hooves... Fingernails? Hoofnails? Do horses have nails? They were shaped like fingernails, so... I don't know. Twilight managed to get the critters flying around in a perfect infinity loop. "Twilight, that looks amazing!" Spike said. "So precise...!" Gohan said. Then he felt a disturbance. 'What's that ki over there... Ah, it's probably nothing.' He thought. Twilight stopped the loop and placed the critters gently back onto the ground. "Phew!" She said, wiping some sweat off her face. All those critters rallied around her for another one! "That's all for now, little ones. Maybe we can practice again later, if Fluttershy says it's alright." Twilight said. Those critters then rushed to Fluttershy, who was still suffering from PTSD, begging her to let it happen again. "Your magic has really improved since we came to Ponyville, Twilight. Princess Celestia's going to love it." Spike said. Gohan felt yet another disturbance. 'That's strange... It's as if something were happening in Ponyville...' He thought. He looked uncharacteristically serious. "Thanks, Spike. I have to be at my best when she arrives with the delegates from Saddle Arabia. I can't believe she's trusting me with the entertainment." Twilight said. Then Rainbow Dash came out of nowhere, ramming into Twilight. Then both ended up on the ground. "Twilight! Come quick! It's an emergency!" She yelled. "I guess I was right...?" Gohan said to himself. *** In Ponyville, all the ponies were gathered around Rarity's boutique for some reason... Rarity was shot with some red magic, and now... ...She had a dress with some colors she didn't like? She gasped loudly! "You beast! This shade of brown should only be used for accents!" She said, fainting. Applejack used her back to catch Rarity. "Come on, Applejack. We've got to get her in a nice, soothing pink, stat!" Pinkie yelled. Those three were gone. And the cavalry just came walking in! Gohan and Twilight, yeah! "What's going on here?" Twilight asked. "Well, well, well. If it isn't..." The hooded pony said, revealing her hood. "Twilight Sparkle." Trixie said. With red pupils for a fraction of a second. Gasps! "Trixie!" Twilight said menacingly. "Trixie? I couldn't recognize you with this kind of dark power." Gohan said, not so menacingly. "Oh look, you brought the monkey this time." Trixie said. "What's she doing here...?" Spike asked. "You call THAT great and powerful?" Rainbow Dash asked, flying in the air. Trixie immediately shot her with red magic, and... Enlarged her right wing to monumental proportions. It was hard to maintain balance, so she started flying everywhere. "Oh! She's Rainbow Wobble, now!" Brown nosing Snips said. Rainbow Dash ended up crash landing on the ground. Le gasp! 'Where did she get this kind of power from...?' Gohan thought. "Good spell, oh Great and Powerful Trixie!" Snails said. "You two, BE QUIET!" Trixie yelled. She fired magic at THEM, and... Well, now Snips and Snails had their horns merged together. With Snips on top and Snails on the bottom... "Uh, hey! W-What happened?" Snips asked. "Ah! Get off of me!" Snails yelled, trying desperately to get Snips off. His shaking caused the audience to back off. They ended up swapping places and running back and forth like a bunch of dumbasses. "Stop picking on my friends, Trixie!" Twilight yelled. "You and I have some unfinished business. My magic's gotten better since I was here last. And I'm going to prove it! Me and you, a magic duel. Winner stays, loser leaves Ponyville FOREVER!" Trixie demanded. "Forget it! I'm never making a deal like that!" Twilight said. "I suggest you leave right now." Gohan said, holding a ki blast right at her. "...Before I start taking you seriously." He added. "Hmm. You embarrassed me as well. I suppose I could duel the both of you..." Trixie said. "That- That's incorrect." Gohan said, stopping the ki blast. "Huh?" Trixie asked. "That's incorrect. A duel is an arranged engagement in combat between two parties. There are three of us." Gohan said. "Spare me your grammatical nonsense!" Trixie yelled. "Actually, that-" "SILENCE!" Trixie interrupted Gohan. "Why are you even doing this!?" Twilight asked. "Why? Because you humiliated me! After you showed me up with that Ursa Minor, and after that monkey blasted the Ursa Major into the sky..." Trixie said. "I actually put it back where it belongs in space." Gohan said. "SHUT IT!" Trixie yelled. "I became a laughing stock! Everywhere I went I was laughed at and ostracized. I even had to take a job on a rock farm just to earn a living! A rock farm!" She yelled. "Hey!" Pinkie yelled. "You're lucky a rock farm would take the likes of you!" She yelled. Trixie made a computer mouse icon appear and a trash can. She grabbed Pinkie's mouth... Somehow... And pulled it off her face. She threw it into that trash can and now Pinkie can't talk. "Now I want REVENGE!" Trixie yelled. She fired magic towards Twilight's Treehouse... But Gohan chopped it and made it disappear. "I've had enough of your little tricks, Trixie." Gohan said. Then he quickly went to Twilight. "You want me to handle this? I don't think you can handle Celestia level power yet." Gohan said. "Uh... Sure, go for it." Twilight said. Gohan jumped away from Twilight. "If you want revenge so badly, why don't you try taking it out on me first?" He asked. He got into his fighting position. "Hmm. What a brave monkey. Take this!" Trixie yelled, firing a red blast at Gohan. Gohan stood casually tall and held his hand out. The blast clashed with his hand! ...Only to disintegrate because Gohan put some yellow ki there. Trixie was just flabbergasted. "W-What...!?" She asked. "I will admit, you've gained a lot of power in such a short time." Gohan said, putting his hand down. "B-But... How did you...? What!?" Trixie asked. "Trixie, do you happen to know Newton's Third Law?" Gohan asked. "Who's what?" Trixie asked. "The Third Law of Physics." Gohan said. "Uh... No, why?" Trixie said. "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Allow me to demonstrate..." Gohan said. He held his hands over his head, with one hand over the other. Yellow ki appeared in front of the hands. "Masenko..." He said. "HA!" He screamed. He fired that... Well, suppressed minor blast at Trixie. "Try all you want, it won't beat me!" Trixie yelled she began to charge her magic up. Gohan sped past her, and was right behind her. "I wasn't finished demonstrating." He said grimly. Trixie was startled, and looked behind her. ...Only to get roundhouse kicked right in the jaw! Trixie was sent flying at the blast... With the same amount of force. The two collided, and BOOM! Small explosion! Les gasps! Trixie flew out of the smoke, and landed a few feet away from the explosion. "...As you can see, I fired a ki blast. It pushed off of my hands, which corresponds to the Third Law of Physics. When I hit Trixie with approximately 250,000 newtons of force, her body received the reaction, and moved in the same direction. Both the ki blast and Trixie hit each other with the same amount of force. It just so happens that the ki blast blew up. If it were a ball with the same mass and weight as Trixie here, then we'd see them bounce off each other and move the same amount of distance opposite of the direction which they came in." Gohan explained thoroughly. ... Twilight clapped. "Perfect explanation!" She said. ... Trixie barely managed to get herself up. Her hood was a little torn, and she had some gunk. "Y-You...!" She said. "Trixie, I don't want to hurt you anymore." Gohan said. "I don't understand... How can a monkey beat the powers of the alicorn amulet...!?" Trixie said. "Alicorn amulet?" Twilight asked. "Alicorn amulet?" Gohan asked. "I think I've read about that somewhere... Spike?" Twilight asked. "I'm on it!" Spike said, running to the Treehouse library. "Trixie, just reverse all the chaos you've done. We'll heal you and you can be sent on your way." Gohan said. Trixie looked steaming angry. As if she would refuse... "If you don't, you'll end up killing yourself. I don't want that to happen." Gohan said. Trixie actually thought about it... But then her eyes glowed red for a split second. ... "No!" She yelled. Then there was a strong wind coming from her for a second. She had red lightning around her... 'That's not good.' Gohan thought. Her power increased with her corrupted rage. Trixie charged some crimson red magic with her horn. It was very intense. Her hood looked as if it would blow right off any minute. Twilight knew what to do now. "Everypony, get out! Just to be safe!" She yelled. Everyone but her and Gohan remained now. "What are you still doing here?" Gohan asked. "I want to test out my new spell!" Twilight said with a smirk. "Go nuts." Gohan said. Twilight charged a purple magic with her horn... 'But it's so much weaker...!' Gohan thought. Trixie screamed as she fired some sort of red and black blade tornado at Gohan. "That looks deadly...!" Gohan said. It was making the sounds a blade would. You know, the *shing!* There's just a bunch of *shing!*s. He jumped up and backwards to attempt to avoid it. But the attack followed him somehow. Now he found himself inside the dark blade tornado. 'Great.' He thought. "Gohan!" Twilight yelled. 'Just a little more...' She thought. The magic tornado cut Gohan's clothes numerous times, but bounced off his skin. 'I don't know how I'm supposed to dodge!' He thought. The good thing is, it just wouldn't strike his hair, and he couldn't be hurt. "Yeah, how's that feel, monkey!?" Trixie yelled. She started cackling. Twilight fired a short magic beam at the tornado. Then... The attack just disappeared. "Huh...?" Gohan asked. "What!?" Trixie yelled. "Yes! Dispel spell worked!" Twilight cheered. "W-What...!? YOU nullified it!?" Trixie asked, pointing a hoof at Twilight. "Huh. A dispel spell is pretty amazing!" Gohan said, flying down to Twilight. "Thanks! Studied it just yesterday! Too bad it only works on magic, and mine barely dispelled hers." Twilight said. Trixie was even angrier. More red sparks appeared around her. Spike came running back with a book. "Twilight! I found it!" He yelled. Trixie took notice of him... And grabbed him with her red magic! "Wha- Hey! Put me down!" He yelled. He dropped the book. Twilight quickly grabbed the book with her magic. "Hey! Put him down, Trixie!" She yelled. Trixie had an evil grin. "How about I crush him?" She asked. "No!" Gohan and Twilight yelled. "Then surrender!" Trixie yelled. "This is starting to hurt!" Spike said. Twilight started reading through the book. "The alicorn amulet... Ah! Whoever wears it is blessed with untold powers!" She read. "So that's the target." Gohan said. "Even though it provides great power, it also corrupts the user!" Twilight said. "Then I'll just take it off her!" Gohan said. "Try it!" Trixie said, crushing Spike a little. "Ah! I felt my bones move!" Spike yelped. "You can't just take the Alicorn Amulet off her neck, it has a magical lock! Trixie's the only pony who can take it off!" Twilight said. "Then I'll find another way!" Gohan said, instantly turning into a Super Saiyan. "Now you changed your mane? Hah!" Trixie laughed. "I'll end this pitiful dragon right now!" Trixie yelled. She was about to just crush him into blood and guts. "This will be over in a second." Gohan said. In an instant, he moved. You could only see orange streaks. He moved past Trixie and back to his original position. But he was facing away from her, and held a fist. Trixie was dazed. Her red sparks disappeared. She ended up letting go of Spike. Spike checked himself and was okay! Trixie collapsed. Spike quickly ran to Twilight, and they hugged. Gohan looked over his shoulder at Trixie. "If you knew better, you'd surrender and reverse your actions." He said. Trixie barely managed to lift her head up. She looked angry, though. "No... Never!" She yelled, standing up. Gohan appeared right in front of her. "Then I'll just take this." He said. He grabbed the alicorn amulet, and ripped it off! And, surprisingly, did not have any trouble. Trixie lost all of her energy, and was surprised at the loss. Twilight and Spike looked in shock. "How did he...?" They asked. "How did you do that...!?" Trixie asked. "This is nothing but a nuisance for us. I'll make sure it'll never be used again." Gohan said, referring to the alicorn amulet. He crushed it into pieces with one hand! Twilight, Spike and Trixie looked in absolute shock. "Trixie, if you knew any better, you wouldn't fight me anymore. I don't want to hurt you." Gohan said. Trixie looked at him in anger, but realized he was right. "I... I surrender." She said. "Okay. Now you can go." Gohan said, doing the 'shoo' gesture. "Wait, what?" Trixie asked. "You can leave." Gohan said. "You aren't going to finish me or anything?" Trixie asked. "Why would I need to...?" Gohan asked. Trixie was just confused. "...This isn't a joke, I'm being serious. If you're scared, don't be." Gohan said. Trixie started walking backwards. Then she ran away. ... Clap. More claps. Everyone clapped! 'Oh no. Popularity!' Gohan thought. He quickly ran to Twilight and whispered something into her ear. "You know, I have reversal spells for all of that." Twilight said. "Perfect. Get this attention away from me...!" Gohan whispered. "Okay, now..." Twilight said. She found Snips and Snails spinning on the ground like a bunch of dumbasses. They're still fighting. "Reversal spell!" Twilight yelled. Purple magic came out from her horn, and hit the two idiots! A bunch of purple smoke appeared, and it died down to reveal a separated Snips and Snails. "Hey! We're not glued together!" Snails said. "Yeah!" Snips said. "Now for Rainbow Dash..." Twilight said. Rainbow Dash was still trying to fly with that giant Dyna Blade wing with the little wing. She nearly knocked into a lot of ponies. Twilight fired her magic at Rainbow Dash. Her wing was fixed. "Hey! My wing! Thanks, Twilight!" Rainbow Dash said. Then Pinkie appeared beside Twilight, still missing her mouth. "Mm! Mmmm mmm mmm mmm!" Pinkie said. Twilight put her mouth back. "Yay!" Pinkie said. *** Then Rainbow Dash's acceptance to the Wonderbolt Academy was just amazing. Gohan went with Rainbow Dash for moral support. He ended up doing more. *** Well, the Mane 6, Spike and Gohan were on the outside of Rainbow Dash's house... Having a picnic... Right next to a fucking mailbox. Why...? "Ooooh, I wish the mailpony would just come already! I can't wait another minute to find out if Rainbow Dash got in or not!" Pinkie said, impatiently hopping around. "Pinkie Pie, you're more nervous than Rainbow Dash." Twilight said. "It's not like you're aiming for a future for the Wonderbolts." Gohan said, eating an apple. "I'm not nervous at all. When I get into the Wonderbolt Academy..." Rainbow Dash said. "IF you get in! If you get in! Don't jinx it!" Pinkie yelled, grabbing Rainbow Dash. "I'm telling you, it's in the bag." Rainbow Dash said. "Don't jinx it!" Pinkie said. "For this case... It doesn't seem to be jinxing." Gohan said. "She is the best flyer in Ponyville." Applejack said. ~~Cyka! That belongs to Gohan!~~ "In Ponyville?" Rainbow Dash asked. She flew up into the sky, and began spinning around a cloud. She transformed it into a cloud slide and slid down it. "I'm probably the best flyer in all of Equestria. I wouldn't be surprised if they just went ahead and made me a Wonderbolt on the first day." She said, flying two inches off the ground. She ended up bumping into the mailpony. "Got a letter here for Rainbow Dash." He said. She instantly snagged it out from his hand, and tore it open! She read it, and... She looks devastated... "I... Didn't get in." She said. Pinkie Pie GASPED! ... "Gotcha!" Rainbow Dash said. Everyone perked up. Rainbow Dash started laughing. "Ha, you guys are so gullible. Like I wasn't gonna get in!" She said. Pinkie Pie tackle hugged Rainbow Dash to the ground. "I'm just sooooooooooo happy for you!" She exclaimed, hugging the shit out of Rainbow Dash. I think she doesn't know what personal space is. "Uh... thanks?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Well, congratulations." Gohan said. "Wait, Gohan, I need to ask..." Rainbow Dash said, getting out of Pinkie's death grip. "Do you mind coming with me? You know, for spectating?" She asked. "Uh... Sure? I suppose so." Gohan said. "Awesome! Then you can tell me how to improve!" She said. "Can you tell me why?" Gohan asked. "I think you'll give me tips to get better." Rainbow Dash said. "Okay, I need to pack a few things." Gohan said. "I'll be back..." He said. Then he zipped away. "Looks like you have a rival in speed." Twilight said. "Nuh uh!" Rainbow Dash said. Rarity and Applejack happened to have Rainbow Dash's saddlebags packed. Then Gohan came back. With just a tiny suitcase. "Bits and clothes are all I need." He said. "Gohan, would you say you're faster than Rainbow?" Twilight said. ... "No." Gohan said. "See? Even he admits it!" Rainbow Dash said. "Now let's get going. The sooner I get there, the sooner I get to show my stuff!" She said. She grabbed her saddlebags. The two started flying away. "Good luck!" Applejack said. "Don't need it!" Rainbow Dash said. ... Pinkie pulled out a gigantic megaphone... "DON'T FORGET TO WRIIIIIIITE!" She screamed. Holy fucking shit, she moved the fucking mountains with her voice. It echoed for a while... ... "OKAAAAAAAAY!" Gohan screamed from really far away. That echoed for a while. Why do voices ripple mountains!? *** Our two made it to the academy... Which was a cloud. A giant cloud. Rainbow Dash was loving what she saw. So much training...! 'This is dad's kind of place.' Gohan thought. "This is gonna be so sweet!" Rainbow Dash said. "Sure." Gohan said. *** Arrival time...! A line of the newbies... And Gohan. Who was making sure Rainbow Dash had her stuff secure. "Are you sure? That doesn't seem stable." Gohan said. "It's fine." Rainbow Dash said. "Well, lookie what we got here." Spitfire said. She was coming in with two other coaches. Everyone stood tall at her presence. Except Gohan... "Bet y'all think you're Wonderbolt material, don't ya?" She asked, walking past everyone. "Yes ma'am!" Everyone but Gohan screamed. Spitfire walked back again. "Think you got what it takes to be an elite flyer?" She asked. "Yes ma'am!" Everyone but Gohan screamed. "Well then. Let me be the first to tell you..." Spitfire said. "You don't!" She yelled into a pony's face. "If you had what it took to be an elite flyer, you'd already be a Wonderbolt!" She yelled. Then she went to Cloudchaser. "Still think you're something special?" Spitfire yelled. Cloudchaser was trembling. "No ma'am!" She said. Then Spitfire turned to Bulk Biceps. "Ya think you're hot stuff?" She asked. Then he just trembled and now he's scared. Then Spitfire turned to Rainbow Dash. "You look like you're the worst flyer in the whole academy! You'll probably quit after the first day!" She yelled. "No, ma'am! I'd never quit, ma'am!" Rainbow Dash said. Then Spitfire turned to Gohan... "You don't even have wings! Why are you even here!? You can't fly!" She yelled. Gohan was unfazed. "I'm here for my friend... I'm not even a part of the academy, I'm not interested in being a Wonderbolt. Plus, I can fly." He said. "Are you a comedian?" Spitfire asked. Gohan levitated off the ground, and sat crisscross in midair. Spitfire was surprised. "I'm not. I'm just telling you the truth." He said. "Huh... Wait a minute... Are you that warrior that took down Discord?" Spitfire asked. "Er... Yes... Ma'am..." Gohan said, dying down at the end. 'I didn't come here to be popular!' He thought. "Well, I'll be! Son Gohan, right here! Excuse me for being harsh." Spitfire said. Gohan stood on the ground again. "T-Thank you...?" He asked. "But I do expect something from you. So stay sharp." Spitfire said. 'Why...?' He thought. Spitfire went to Lightning Dust... "Ha. What about you? Bet you couldn't fly past the first flagpole without getting winded." She asked. "Try me, ma'am." Lightning Dust said. "What's that?" Spitfire asked. "Let me show you what I've got, ma'am." Lightning Dust said. "Ah. You want a chance to prove yourself, huh?" Spitfire asked. "Yes ma'am!" Lightning Dust said. "Well then, now's your chance. Give me five hundred laps! All of you!" Spitfire yelled. Everyone groaned. "NOW! That means you too!" Spitfire yelled, pointing at Gohan. "I'm not even a part of this class!" Gohan said. "Too bad!" Spitfire said. "It's not even going to give me a workout, I'm not using any muscles!" Gohan said. "I don't care." Spitfire said. She blew the whistle. *** Well, Gohan was roped into doing this now. He kept his speed on par with Rainbow Dash. But, since he had nothing better to do, he kept a cannonball pose. You know, when you jump off the diving board? Yeah, that. So he looked hilarious while keeping up with Rainbow Dash. Lightning Dust and Rainbow Dash were both at the same speed, so there's three of them. The three all zipped past Cloudchaser... And Spitfire. "Four hundred and ninety nine! One more to go!" She yelled. "Why are you doing that?" Rainbow Dash asked. Gohan was about to answer, but- "What do you expect from monkeys? They're all crazy." Lightning Dust said. "Hey!" Gohan said. "I'm doing this because this is monotonous, and I'm not getting a workout at all!" He said. "Whatever." Lightning Dust said. "Anyway, one more lap to go!" Rainbow Dash said. "You're on!" Lightning Dust said. Well, our two pegasi flew very fast, leaving Gohan behind. 'Meh. Hope she wins. That one's a jerk.' He thought. Rainbow Dash and Lightning Dust zipped around in a flash. They sped right past Spitfire, landing with smoke. "Five hundred! Not bad! For a couple of newbies." Spitfire said. Gohan slowly came in... He slowed himself down. You could hear some children's lullaby music for how stupid it looked. ... "Five hundred...?" Spitfire asked. "What are you doing?" She asked. Gohan stopped in his tracks. "I'm flying." He said. "That's the stupidest kind of flight I've ever seen! Don't you know that you fly faster by evening your body out! You could've zipped past everypony here!" Spitfire yelled. Shit. Come up with a shitty excuse for Rainbow Dash, come on...! "O-Oh, no ma'am. See, the way I fly, your body position doesn't actually matter. I don't fly with wings, but I use my energy to push off the air. Problem is, my stance doesn't determine my maximum speed, it's my output. So even if so flew straight while standing up tall, I would have the same speed..." He lied. He pulled that right out of his ass. "...Whatever." Spitfire said. "You're done." She said. During that, Rainbow Dash and Lightning Dust had became friends. "Hey Gohan! Wanna grab some grub!?" Rainbow Dash yelled. "Ooh! Yeah!" Gohan said, standing normally again. *** Pinkie was outside her mailbox... Opening it every five seconds... Waiting for a letter to come. Applejack happened to be by... "Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash and Gohan haven't even been gone twenty-four hours yet. Give them a chance to settle in first. Why don't we just go see what Twilight's up to? I hear Princess Celestia's got her workin' on some new spells!" She said. "New spells, huh? Okay. Wait! If I'm not here when Rainbow Dash's letter arrives, I won't be able to read it right away. And if I don't read it right away, I won't be able to write her back right away. And if I don't write her back right away, she might think I didn't get her letter, and then she might worry it got lost. And if she's worrying about her letter, she'll be distracted. And if she's distracted, then she won't do well at the academy! And if she doesn't do well at the academy, then she'll get kicked out! And if she gets kicked out, they'll never let her be a Wonderbolt! And if she doesn't get to be a Wonderbolt, all her dreams will be crushed! And it will be all... my... fault!" Pinkie sputtered... Then collapsing... I don't get it. "So in other words, you're stickin' by the mailbox." Applejack said. "Yep!" Pinkie said. "Suit yourself." Applejack said. Back to the opening every five seconds... *** Now the real training starts... Gohan was on the sidelines. He specifically told Spitfire that he didn't want to do any of this, he had his own regimen. Everyone was in their uniform. "The Wonderbolts are the fastest, best precision flyers in the world. But spin-outs can still happen. And when they do, a Wonderbolt must be able to recover quickly. This..." Spitfire said. A pony took a tarp off something huge. It's a giant target with gears that spin. "...is the Dizzitron. It's gonna make you very, I repeat, VERY dizzy. Your task is to try and recover and fly straight again, as soon as possible. Once you have recovered you must come in for a smooth landing. Now, who's first?" Spitfire asked. Rainbow Dash and Lightning Dust raised their hooves. "You." Spitfire said. ...Who was it? The Pony next to Rainbow Dash, Meadow Flower. "You're up." She said. "Me...?" Meadow Flower asked. It looked scary... ... "NOW!" Spitfire screamed. The mare quickly flew into the Dizzatron. "Ready!?" Spitfire asked. "Uh... Yes ma'am!" Meadow Flower said. Then the machine started. It spun really fast...! I'm surprised her face didn't peel off. Anyway... "Release!" Spitfire said. Then Meadow Flower was released... She spun around many times... When she tried landing, she slid on the ground and eventually collapsed. With a bad landing. "Huh. Fifteen seconds. Decent, but I wouldn't go writin' home about it! Who's next?" Spitfire asked. Rainbow Dash raised her hoof. "Alright, Rainbow Dash. Let's see what you got." Spitfire said. "Yes, ma'am!" Rainbow Dash said. "Put your training to the test!" Gohan said. Rainbow Dash got into the Dizzatron. Then it started again... Spinning... Spinning... "Release!" Spitfire said. Rainbow Dash flew off the Dizzatron, but successfully recovered and landed in an instant. "Six seconds! That's an academy record!" Spitfire said. Rainbow Dash landed beside Meadow Flower and Lightning Dust. "You make it look so easy..." Meadow Flower said. "I make everything look easy." Rainbow Dash said. "Okay, Lightning Dust. You're up." Spitfire said. Lightning Dust got into the machine. "Ma'am, can you put the Dizzitron at maximum speed? I wanna push my limits." She said. "You sure about that?" Spitfire asked. "Yes ma'am." Lightning Dust said. "Okay, you asked for it." Spitfire said. The machine started again, and... Now I really think her face would've peeled off by now. ... "Release!" Spitfire said. Lightning Dust spun around many times, but instantly recovered. She dropped down, and zipped past Spitfire. "6.5 seconds! Not bad!" Spitfire said. Rainbow Dash and Lightning Dust did a hoof bump. Spitfire turned to Gohan. "You. You're up." She said. "I specifically told you that I'm not even a part of this class!" Gohan said. "That's an order!" Spitfire yelled. Gohan sighed. He walked up to the Dizzatron. "It's not going to be fair, my way of flight will make this unfair." He said. "Just get in!" Spitfire yelled. Gohan did just that. "Let's go at highest setting!" Spitfire yelled. "Sure...?" Gohan asked. The machine started spinning again... Gohan's face wasn't looking like it'd peel off. ... "Release!" Spitfire said. As soon as Gohan released, he stopped in place. ...Then the metal bar holding ponies in broke off. Spitfire looked shocked. Well, everyone was. "Ah- You see!?" Gohan asked. "How is that even possible? You should be dizzy!" Spitfire said. The machine was whirring behind Gohan. "I told you, I use my energy to push myself off. I could push myself backwards even before I fly off this thing. So it's not fair." Gohan said. "Huh... Well, we need to repair this... You all get a free period!" Spitfire yelled. The ponies all cheered. "However!" Spitfire said, silencing them. "For the rest of the camp, you'll be working in pairs. 'Morrow morning, I'll post the teams, including who'll be lead pony and who'll be wingpony. Good luck." She said. "Wait." Gohan said, now standing on the ground. "I just want to make sure you're not adding me in." He said. ... "...And what if I do?" Spitfire asked. "...I won't be happy...? I'm not even a part of this class, it's pointless." Gohan said. "I don't even want to be a Wonderbolt." He added. "Oh. Suit yourself." Spitfire said, walking away. *** Well, mess hall. Bulletin board. Everyone was huddled around it... Rainbow Dash was about to see it. A few mares, Cloudchaser and Meadow Flower were leaving. "So, which one of you lucky gals gets to be MY wingpony?" She asked them boastfully. ...The two just stared giggling. "What?" Rainbow Dash asked defensively. "Eh, you might want to check the wall." Cloudchaser said. Well, Rainbow Dash did just that, and- "A wingpony?" She asked, her pride being shattered. Lightning Dust was her partner... So she came to her side. "They made us a team! Isn't that awesome?" She asked. Rainbow Dash forced a smile, but obviously was devastated. *** Gohan was in Rainbow Dash's bunk room, just sitting on the floor and reading a book. It was on basic magic. 'So that's the process of a unicorn's horn.' He thought. Then the door slammed open. Gohan quickly looked up. "Oh, hey Rainb- Is something wrong?" He asked. "Yeah! Did you see this?" Rainbow Dash asked, throwing the paper at him. It slowly fell down to Gohan's lap, and he read it. "Uh... What's the problem, exactly...?" He asked. ... "Are you serious!? I'm a wingpony!" Rainbow Dash said. "...Oh. Wingman. I see. You wanted to be the leader?" Gohan asked. "Well, obviously! I broke an academy record, I deserve to be a leader!" Rainbow Dash said. "Calm down! Calm down! It's not that big of a deal!" Gohan said. "Not that big of a deal!? It's a huge deal!" Rainbow Dash said. "Look, you're with Lightning Dust, the same pony who is almost as good as you." Gohan said. "Thank you." Rainbow Dash said. "But if you're together, it won't matter who's wingpony or not, you're both incredible. If you really want to be a leader that badly, then you'll jut have to impress Spitfire." Gohan said. "B-But..." Rainbow Dash said. "Look, think of it as the first step to becoming a Wonderbolt. Besides, it's only a matter of time until you become a Wonderbolt, Spitfire already likes your abilities." Gohan said. "Hmm... Thanks... I needed that." Rainbow Dash said. "Good. Now, when's the next round of training? I was told to be there." Gohan said. *** Well, outside. Everyone was ready for some training. "Today you will all be participating in a flag hunt. We'll divide you into two teams, red... and blue. Whoever finds the most flags of the opposing team's color wins." Spitfire said. "Huh. That sounds reasonable." Gohan said. "Oh, this is gonna be so much fun!" Meadow Flower said. "If you think this is gonna to be fun, you are sadly mistaken. This is for training purposes. This is not recess. Lead ponies and wingponies must fly together. If any pair splits apart, they will be immediately disqualified. Do you understand?" Spitfire asked. "Yes ma'am!" Everyone yelled. "Then let's go!" Spitfire yelled. She blew the whistle, and everyone was flying. Poof. "...Huh. That's some speed." Gohan said. Now the ponies were looking around for flags... Rainbow Dash and Lightning Dust were way ahead of the competition. However, Lightning Dust isn't exactly a team player... So she left Rainbow Dash in the dust. Get it? ~~I'll leave now.~~ Well, it's just that Lightning Dust wouldn't communicate with Rainbow Dash. So whenever she took a sharp turn, Rainbow Dash was left behind. And if they split apart, they're disqualified... So Rainbow Dash had to pick up the pace. Once she finally caught up... "You spotted any flags yet?" Lightning Dust asked. "Not yet!" Rainbow Dash said. Then she noticed a flag in a crevice. "There's one!" She said. Logs were blocking the entrance, so whoever wanted to enter had to shift. "Good eye!" Lightning Dust said, darting off. Both of them were headed at the flag. "We should slow down. It doesn't look like both of us can make it at this speed!" Rainbow Dash said. Lightning Dust didn't heed her words. So she put Rainbow Dash behind her. So that blocked her view... Once they had to shift into a standing position, Rainbow Dash couldn't aim herself properly. Lightning Dust passed the logs easily, but Rainbow Dash was a little off, and hurt her wing. Lightning Dust took the flag, and raced off. Rainbow Dash, with a broken bone in her wing, tried to keep up. They both landed in front of Spitfire, with Rainbow Dash lagging behind a bit. "Lightning Dust and Rainbow Dash found the first flag!" Spitfire said. Gohan noticed Rainbow Dash's injury... "Come on! Let's find some more!" Lightning Dust said, ready to take off. Rainbow Dash wasn't exactly comfortable yet... But, Gohan did something about it. "Rainbow Dash." He said, getting her attention. "Senzu bean!" He yelled, throwing a senzu bean right at her. She caught it with her hoof. "Ooh! Thanks!" Rainbow Dash said, eating of it. Now her broken wing was fixed! "You're fine!" Lightning Dust said, flying off. Rainbow Dash zoomed after her. ... "What was that?" Spitfire asked. "I saw Rainbow Dash with a broken bone connected to one of the extensor longus digiti majorus, flexor digitorum superficialis and the flexor digitorum profundus, which are all required for flight. If she flew for even a few more seconds with that broken bone, then she probably would've lost the ability to fly properly for the rest of her life. I healed her with these senzu beans." Gohan explained thoroughly. He held out a pouch of senzu beans. ... Spitfire just stood there, completely shocked. "...I studied up on pegasus anatomy. I'm a fighter, but I'm also an avid reader!" Gohan said with a bright smile. ... "...I'm not even going to question that. If you took the test, you would've been in the Wonderbolts by now." Spitfire said. "What?" Gohan asked. *** Pinkie was still looking at the mail... ... Has she even slept for these three days? ... Then she gasped! The mailpony! "I've got a letter from-" He said, before Pinkie swiped that letter. "Ooh!" Pinkie squealed. She ripped open the letter, and pulled out the paper inside... ... "YAY!" She screamed. The rest of the Mane 6 looked from afar... "She's been at it for three days..." Rarity said. "At least she finally got a letter." Fluttershy said. Back to Pinkie. "But wait! It's from Gohan, though! Rainbow Dash didn't even sign the letter! Which means she probably never even looked at this letter! Which also probably means she forgot about us! And-" The rest of the Mane 6 all sighed. "She's back at it again..." Applejack said. "I just wish there was some way to help her..." Fluttershy said. Then Pinkie appeared behind them out from nowhere. "Help me? The only thing that could possibly help me right now is a letter from Rainbow Dash!" Pinkie said. "...Didn't you already get one?" Twilight asked. "No, it was from Gohan! I'm glad he still remembers us, but Rainbow Dash didn't even sign it! It's been three days already. By now, she probably doesn't even know our names anymore! She probably can't remember our faces! "Pinkie Pie? I never heard of a Pinkie Pie! Who is Pinkie Pie?" She overreacted. ... "Well, if you're so worried, then why don't you send her a letter first?" Twilight asked. Then Pinkie perked up. "Of course! That's a great idea!" She said. Then everyone else had a sigh of relief... "Oh wait! I got an even better idea! How about we send Rainbow Dash a care package? You know, before she forgets all about us? Although, come on, let's face it. It's probably too late for that. But, uh, maybe it'll jog her memory somehow." Pinkie said. Damn it, I thought this would work. And I'm the damn writer. "Pinkie Pie, I'm sure Rainbow Dash still remembers our faces and who we are. But I think sending her a care package is a great idea." Twilight said. "A care package it is! We'll send it through the mail!" Pinkie said excitedly. Twilight silently sighed. "WAIT!" DAMN IT! I CAN'T CONTROL HER! "Ah! That won't work at all!" She said. "Why not...!?" Applejack asked. "Because what if the package gets lost in the mail? What if somepony else gets the package by accident and then she remembers us instead of Rainbow Dash and then she becomes our new friend? And then the REAL Rainbow Dash won't ever know that she used to have friends and she forgot them!" Pinkie sputtered. ... ...Can I be the first to tell her she's mentally insane? "...Is anypony else followin' this?" Applejack asked. Nope. "I've got it! We'll deliver the care package to Rainbow Dash in person!" Pinkie said. Now everyone was okay with this. "I wouldn't mind a little trip." Rarity said. "I'll go!" Twilight said. "Count me in!" Applejack said. "Me too." Fluttershy said. "Me five!" Pinkie said. "But don't be upset if she doesn't recognize you at first. It may take a while for her to get her memory back." She added. Jesus Christ... *** Well, training course. More like obstacle course. "Today we'll be doing our famous air obstacle course." Spitfire said. This is like a death trap. Well, there were cloud hoops, pink thunderclouds, and huge ass fans blowing wind. "The object of this exercise is to work on your precision flying under extreme circumstances. And don't worry about winning. It's not a race." Spitfire said. Lightning Dust winked at Rainbow Dash... Challenge accepted! "And you're going in too!" Spitfire demanded, pointing at Gohan. "...Why?" Gohan asked. "Because I said so. You're no more than a private, and I'm the general!" Spitfire said. Gohan would've loved to go on about how he doesn't have a rank, and if he did, he would be a lot higher than her, but he decided- "Yes ma'am..." He said. He got to the starting line. 'Just stay right behind Rainbow Dash, and it'll all be fine...' He thought. "Now everypony, get on your marks!" Spitfire yelled. The ponies all got their goggles on. The whistle blew! And they're off! Well, one pair at a time. First two pairs went, then it was Rainbow Dash and Lightning Dust! ...Then it was Gohan. Who flew right behind the second and third fastest here. First, the cloud hoops had some intense winds to move around, so they had to make sure they weren't off track. Easy enough for the first two pairs. But then the slingshotted pink thunderclouds caught them by surprise, and slowed them down. Lightning Dust turned to Rainbow Dash and gave her a grin. Then she bolted off. Rainbow Dash quickly followed. Gohan rolled his eyes and did the same. When it came to the pink thunderclouds... Rainbow Dash and Lightning Dust dodged them easily. With Gohan... He punched them all! Spitfire lowered her sunglasses. "He's got guts." She muttered. Then our pair flew at high speeds, and- They had to slow down. They nearly crashed into the pair in front of them. "Ugh! Can't they go any faster? It's no good, I can't get around them!" Lightning Dust complained. "Pfft." Gohan said, right from behind. "It isn't that bad." He added. "They're SO slow!" Lightning Dust said. "Actually, moving at 17 miles per hour is a relatively fast speed for an average pegasus. You two are special cases, though. Like, speed of sound, special." Gohan said. ... "Nerd." Rainbow Dash said plainly. "I take pride in that." Gohan said. "Anyway... We can still fly completely in sync and blow Spitfire's mind with our moves!" Rainbow Dash said. "I guess..." Lightning Dust said. The ponies in front of them passed through the hoops. Rainbow Dash and Lightning Dust decided to style, going through the same hoop twice doing a loop de loop. Gohan ended up passing them. They did it twice. And another pair ended up passing them. Now there's a thunderstorm... The pair in front of Gohan were slowing down, and struggling to pass. More wing flapping! Gohan felt sorry for them... But didn't pass them. Lightning Dust was annoyed. "What are they, a couple of snails? It's just a little weather." She said. Then thunder roared... Now everyone was finally out of that hellhole... The final part, really powerful fans! "Now's our chance to pass these slowpokes!" Lightning Dust told Rainbow Dash. Rainbow Dash wasn't exactly comfortable... But went with it. The two bolted, smashing into the pairs in front of them! Ugh... It's dirty! The fallen pairs knocked into other pairs and totally fucked them up! Then- "Ow!" The two yelled. They smashed into Gohan's feet. Lightning Dust was annoyed at this, too. "Oh come on! Could you be any slower!?" She yelled. Gohan looked over his shoulder before turning around entirely. He kept flying backwards. "I'll have you know that this isn't a race. Stop acting so competitive." Gohan said. "Filthy casual!" Lightning Dust said, pointing at Gohan. "That's new." Gohan said. "Just go faster!" Lightning Dust yelled. "Fine!" Gohan said with an annoyed tone. First, he had yellow aura around him. Then, he darted away! He was fast! The two were shocked, but determined to beat him. They flew over and under the winds while Gohan just passed right through. In fact, he was trying to touch them. He was now looking forward. He decreased his speed for the two behind him. They managed to catch up to him... It was a real race... The three were neck at neck...at neck... Who will win!? Aura? Rainbow? Or Lightning? They all landed, sliding across the ground! Well, not Gohan. He just stopped as soon as he landed. The other two slid all the way to Spitfire. "Not bad! And in record time, too!" Spitfire said. "But... If we were to call this a race, Rainbow Dash would be first." She said. "Yes!" Rainbow Dash cheered. "And Gohan would be second." Spitfire said. "What!?" Lightning Dust asked. "I don't get how I did that but okay!" Gohan called from far away. "How!? I totally beat him!" Lightning Dust said, being totally salty. "He clearly landed before you. But, that still doesn't mean you two were bad. Definitely made the right decision making you two a team. The others seem to have had a little trouble with the precision part of the exercise. I'd better go help sort them out. Why don't you two go hit the mess hall early?" Spitfire said. "You too!" She yelled to Gohan. Gohan gave a thumbs up. Spitfire didn't know what the hell that was. "Anyway. I'm off." Spitfire said, flying away. "Yes ma'am!" Lightning Dust said, trotting away. "Thank you, ma'am!" Rainbow Dash said. ... She turned to Lightning Dust. "Um, Lightning Dust? Next time, maybe we don't cut the other teams off like that." She said. "Hey, you snooze, you lose! Besides, Wonderbolts are supposed to be able to recover from a spin-out. You saw them on the Dizzitron! They could use the practice. I mean, it's not OUR fault we're so much better than those other guys! Not every pony is destined to become a Wonderbolt. Only the best of the best, right?" Lightning Dust asked. "Now hold on..." Gohan said, appearing out of nowhere. "What do you want?" Lightning Dust asked, clearly irritated at his presence. "That's not very sportsmanship like... Being a Wonderbolt isn't all about skills, it's also about heart." Gohan said. "When have you EVER seen that?" Lightning Dust asked. "In nearly every elite team. It's the teamwork! Not showing off to say that you're the coolest of the bunch." Gohan said. "I'm going with Gohan, here." Rainbow Dash said. "Whatever." Lightning Dust said, trotting away. ... "Man, that was a close race!" Rainbow Dash said. "I was giving it my all, and even with an extra mile I lost to you!" Gohan said happily...? "Are you really happy about losing...?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Well, no. I'm happy we settled who's actually the fastest in Equestria!" Gohan said. "Oh... Uh... Yeah!" Rainbow Dash said. *** Now there's a cloud destroying exercise... Destroy the most, and your team wins. Gohan was excluded because, well, he had projectiles. Rainbow Dash and Lightning Dust dominated, getting 95% of the clouds compared to the rest... Jesus, they're even stealing clouds. Slicing and dicing, combos, yadda yadda. ...But Lightning Dust wanted to do more... "I have an idea about how we can literally blow away our competition." She said to Rainbow Dash. "But we're already way ahead." Rainbow Dash said, looking behind her. The other pairs were struggling to even destroy a cloud... "Are you in or not?" Lightning Dust asked. Rainbow Dash thought about it... "...I'm in." She said. "Then follow my lead!" Lightning Dust said. The two started flying in very quick circles... Which turned into a tornado. 'What are they doing!?' Gohan thought. They moved the tornado around, and destroyed nearly every cloud in sight. ...But they added a little bit too much power... "I can't control it!" Lightning Dust said. She ended up flying out of the tornado because she lost her balance. Rainbow Dash tried keeping up, but also ended up flying out. She landed right by Gohan. Said tornado was now about to hit innocent assistants... And it passed right through Gohan. 'That's a lotta damage.' He thought. Rainbow Dash managed to get herself up... Then he noticed the hot air balloon from afar... With his friends... And the tornado was headed straight for it. ...Shit. "It's a twister!" Applejack said. And it was massive. Both Rainbow Dash and Gohan happened to say "Uh oh." The tornado ripped the hot air balloon apart...! First the ropes... The rest of the Mane 6 all tried hanging on, but... They all ended up being hurled out. Since only one of them can barely fly... They all started falling and screaming. Except the care package. Gohan and Rainbow Dash looked to each other and nodded. Zoom! They were out. They both darted at the speed of sound, trying to get below them. "Okay, here's the plan! We-" Gohan said, but... "I'll gather enough clouds for them to bounce off of, and maybe you can use your aura to push them to the waterfall!" Rainbow Dash said. ... "I guess that works." Gohan said. Rainbow Dash got about 200 feet below the falling mares. Gohan flew upwards, and got into a position where he'd be just behind the ponies. Rainbow Dash instantly gathered five clouds, and spun around them. You could see the rainbow spinning around the clouds... Rainbow Dash, in doing that, managed to combine all of the clouds together to create a sort of trampoline... It was enough for unicorns and earth ponies to sit on, okay? Once her friends safely landed on the cloud, Rainbow Dash 'detonated' it by spinning around it upwards. They all flew upwards while screaming. "That's my cue!" Gohan said. He turned into a Super Saiyan, making his aura flare like there was no tomorrow! Then the ponies were pushed towards the training course... Which was concrete and dirt. So death to all those who land. Gohan stopped his aura. "Crapbaskets!" He said. But, luckily for Gohan, the rest of the ponies at the Wonderbolts Academy caught the ponies with full nelsons and bridal style... Even the care package was saved. But Cloudchaser, who caught Fluttershy, was a little pissed that she had wings. All the ponies were brought safely to the ground... Both Gohan and Rainbow Dash happened to fly down and up respectively to the same height at the same time. "Are you guys okay?" They asked. Then they looked to each other. Everyone but Pinkie pretty much said "Uh-huh." The two flew to their friends... Pinkie was still on the ground. "Pinkie Pie!" Rainbow Dash said, a little concerned. Then Pinkie looked up with a near crying face... I mean, she looked like she was about to- "You... REMEMBERED ME!" She said, hugging Rainbow Dash tightly. Almost choking her... "Of course she did. It's only been four days!" Gohan said. "And what are you all doing here?" Rainbow Dash asked, getting Pinkie off her. "We wanted to bring you a care package. Didn't realize you'd be in the middle of some crazy tornado drill." Applejack said. Then Lightning Dust happened to fly in. "That... Was... AWESOME!" She yelled. "Awesome!?" Rainbow Dash and Gohan asked. "My friends could have been smashed to pieces!" They both said angrily. Then they looked to each other again. 'We just happen to say the same things, huh...' They both thought. "Yeah... But they weren't, right?" Lightning Dust asked. She flew up to the sky. "Can't say the same for the clouds. We totally wiped them out with that tornado. The other cadets will have to be up there for days to bust as many as we did." She said, flying down to Rainbow Dash. She held her hoof out for a hoof bump. The other ponies were not happy... "...A hoof bump? Seriously?" Rainbow Dash asked, turning it down. "You made me clip my wing. You sent half of our class into serious tailspins on the obstacle course. You unleashed a tornado that nearly demolished my friends!" She yelled. "Yeah. And?" Lightning Dust asked. "Are you really that dense!?" Gohan asked. He can't turn off the Super Saiyan with this anger... "I get that you want to be the best. So do I! But you're going about it in the wrong way." Rainbow Dash said. "The Wonderbolts don't seem to think so. After all, Spitfire did make me the leader and you the wingpony." Lightning Dust said. "Except Spitfire didn't see how much of a better pony Rainbow Dash is compared to you." Gohan said. "What was that?" Lightning Dust asked angrily. I love how nobody is talking about how he has yellow hair. "Leaders are supposed to show compassion. They're supposed to get along with everyone. Especially their team. However, in watching you attempt to lead, you utterly fail." Gohan said. "I don't know what's going on in that monkey head of yours." Lightning Dust mocked. "Rainbow Dash, you do the honors." Gohan said, crossing his arms. "I can't express myself under this anger." He added. "I've got this." Rainbow Dash said. "You don't talk. You just do whatever you want and expect your teammates to read your mind. You lack compassion. It doesn't matter if you're ahead of everyone, that doesn't mean you have the authority to insult them like that. To add injury to insult, you smash into them just to prove your superiority! The final nail in the coffin? You just shrugged off almost accidentally killing five ponies today. That's just sick. A leader doesn't do any of that. In fact- Any sane pony wouldn't do something that reckless and heartless!" Rainbow Dash said. ... ...What a speech... Is somepony clapping? Spitfire? "I'm very impressed with you, Rainbow Dash." She said. ... "The Wonderbolts are looking for the best flyers in Equestria, and you're right. Being the best should never come at the expense of our fellow ponies. It's not just about pushing ourselves. It's about pushing ourselves in the right direction. You've shown that you're capable of doing just that." Spitfire said. She walked right up to Lightning Dust, who was paralyzed with fear... She snatched her leader badge right off! "You're expelled. Get out." She muttered. Her two assistants escorted her away in shock... "You're no wingpony, Rainbow Dash. You're a leader." Spitfire said. She removed the wingpony badge and replaced it with the leader badge... ...Then Rainbow Dash got all excited. "OhmygoshOhmygoshOhmygoshOhmygoshOhmygosh!" She repeated, flapping her wings. Everyone seemed to be happy for her...! Even the fellow flyers. "Now get out there and give me twenty!" Spitfire yelled. "Yes ma'am!" Rainbow Dash said, flying high into the sky. The other ponies quickly followed her. Gohan was no longer a Super Saiyan. He smiled. ... "Wait!" Pinkie yelled. "You didn't even get to open your care package!" She screamed, holding a very crushed box. "Did I get a care package?" Gohan asked. "No." Pinkie said. "Aw..." Gohan said, sad... "Just kidding!" Pinkie said, pulling out a second but equally crushed box. "Yay!" Gohan said. *** And then Discord returned. Now, this one I actually bothered to do, because it's unacceptable not to. ~~Yeah, that's right, past me! Go fuck yourself!~~ *** Our usual group, The Mane 6, Spike and Gohan, were waiting on the outskirts of Ponyville. Well, minus Fluttershy and Applejack, they were kinda gone for the moment. They were just hanging around, waiting for Princess Celestia to arrive. Then Pinkie spoke. "I love it when Princess Celestia comes to Ponyville! I got my hooves shined just like Rarity for the occasion! You like?" She asked, showing off a hoof. Rarity and Gohan looked into the hoof. You could see your reflection as if it was a mirror without pink. "I certainly do!" Rarity said. "I'm surprised that this is physically possible." Gohan said. "I'm surprised she's not here yet." Twilight said. "What's taking her so long?" Spike asked. "Wait... What is that?" Gohan asked. He felt a disturbance... Something too familiar. "Is something wrong, darling?" Rarity asked. "I'm getting this weird feeling... Don't mind me, continue." Gohan said. "Where are Applejack and Fluttershy?" Twilight asked. "Fluttershy's detained helping Applejack with a mishap at Sweet Apple Acres. They'll be along." Rarity said. "But I still don't get why the Princess would be so late." Spike said. "She's bringing an important visitor. That could be part of it." Twilight said. "A visitor who's important and SLOW!" Rainbow Dash said. "Maybe it's somepony so terribly important, she still had many more terribly important things to do before she got here." Rarity chipped in. Then... Spike gasped. Gohan had a very surprised look. "Maybe the visitor has a deer antler, a goat leg, a bat wing, and a snake tail!" Spike said. "Yeah, right, that's Discord." Twilight said. "It IS Discord." Gohan said. "What?" Everyone asked. Celestia came in through carriage, and another carriage carried a statue of Discord. She got off the carriage and onto the ground. Everyone stood there in complete shock. ... Twilight was the first to speak up. "With all due respect, Princess Celestia, HOW COULD YOU BRING DISCORD HERE!?" She asked. Then she cleared her throat in embarrassment. "Er, your majesty." She said. "I'm fully aware that the last time Discord was here, he created serious havoc." Celestia said. "So, you need me to smash him to pieces so he'll never come back?" Gohan asked. He then instantly turned into a Super Saiyan. The ponies all just stood back in fear. "Because I'm MORE than willing to." He said, clearly enraged at Discord. He cracked his fingers and his neck. Celestia raised a hoof. "No, that isn't needed in the slightest, Son Gohan." She said. "Please put that away, its super duper scary!" Pinkie said. "Oh, right, sorry." Gohan said. He reverted. "I understand that you may have vengeful feelings, all of you." Celestia said. "The guy tricked me into thinking my dad hated me!" Gohan said. "I have use for Discord's magic if it can be reformed to serve good instead of evil. This is why I've brought Discord here, because I believe that you are the ponies who can help him do just that." Celestia said. ... "Although I'd like to argue, you do have a bit of a point..." Gohan said. Then Spike chipped in... "This will never work! This is a disaster! How will we ever control him!? We're doomed!" He yelled. "Need I remind you that you have two very powerful options to stop him at your disposal? And you have the hero who did it himself right there?" Celestia asked. "I suppose we can actually use the Elements for a second time..." Twilight said. "If he needs reforming, then I need to get over his bad deeds... Let's try." Gohan said. "Uh, w-w-we probably need a volunteer to run away from here right away to get the Elements. I'll do it!" Spike said, about to run off. "No need, Spike. I have them right here, and I've cast a spell so Discord can't take them and hide them again." Celestia said. Her guards showed a chest. "Didn't Discord take them last time?" Gohan asked. "Now where is Fluttershy? I believe she may know best how to begin reforming Discord." Celestia said. "Fluttershy? Really?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Eh, makes sense. She's the kindest pony around." Gohan said. *** Well, Applejack and Fluttershy are talking to a beaver at a dam... "What's he goin' on about now?" Applejack asked. "Good news. Mr. Beaverton Beaverteeth has agreed to take his dam apart and move it." Fluttershy said. "Well, it's about time. My apple trees are so waterlogged, I can practically hear 'em gargle!" Applejack said. Then the beaver started complaining. "But he says first you'll have to apologize for calling him a 'nuisance.'" Fluttershy said. "Apologize!? He's lucky I didn't call him a varmint!" Applejack said. The beaver responded again. Well, here's how I think it went... "Fack uuuuu!" Fluttershy gasped. "Mr. Beaverton Beaverteeth! Such language!" She scolded. She had a mean face on. Then she turned to Applejack. "Fine, fine. I apologize." Applejack said. "Bullshit!" I-I mean, the beaver spit at her. Applejack wanted to pound his damn face in, but Fluttershy calmed her a bit. The beaver moved one stick... And the whole dam went down. *** The two made it to Ponyville, and Fluttershy was speaking to Celestia. Gohan was taking mental notes on apologies and stuff. "I realize that this is a tall order, but I wouldn't ask if I weren't confident you could get him to use magic obediently of his own free will." Celestia said. "And... you really think I'll know best how to do that?" Fluttershy asked, insecure. Celestia raised her head with a hoof, saying: "I do." Fluttershy blushed in response. "Now, I must return to Canterlot for Equestria's royal summit. You may release Discord when ready." Celestia said. She flew away with her royal guard. Twilight used her magic to pull the chest towards her. "Okay, ponies, guess it's time to get started. Let's just hope this releasing spell works." She said. "Or... Let's not." Spike said. Twilight gave each pony their element with her magic. "We'd best keep our elements on at all times 'til further notice." She said. "Check!" The Mane 6 said. "Gohan?" Twilight asked. "I'm already ready." Gohan said, not thinking of what Twilight thought. Twilight performed a spell. It used all of the elements, causing each pony to float. They connected again with rainbows! They unleashed it on the stone Discord, and... His statue cracked. And BOOM! Discord's back, baby! He roared loudly! ...Which turned out to be a loud yawn. Then he realized he could move and wiggled his whole body. "Oh! Ooh! Ooooh! Well, it's about time somepony got me out of that prison block. What a relief!" He said. Then he snapped his fingers, turning a squirrel into a macho man. He eats trees now. "Not even five seconds." Gohan said. The ponies gasped. "What do you think you're doing!?" Twilight asked. Discord stretched. "Nnnnnnnnngh... Why, stretching, of course. When you're a creature of chaos, stone bodysuits aren't your typical go to fashion choice. Nnngh... " He said, snapping his fingers. He turned a bunny into a fucking Hulk bunny. "Make that bunny cute again, now!" Pinkie yelled. "Oh... He's adorable the way he is!" Discord said, petting him. He tried eating Discord, so... He blew a raspberry. "You know what else is adorable? You ponies truly believe that you can reform me, and that you're putting your faith in this one here to make it happen." Discord said, pointing at Fluttershy. "Makes me wanna pinch your little horsey cheeks..." Discord said, doing just that to Fluttershy. "How'd you know about that!?" Twilight asked. "And stop it!" Gohan said. "First of all, being turned to stone doesn't keep me from hearing every word Celestia says. Although I admit it makes rolling my eyes a challenge. Second, no." Discord said. "I REALLY won't hold back this time! I was really ready to talk it out with you!" Gohan yelled. "Oh? All right, let's talk it out. I'm the psychologist today, it seems." Discord said, wearing glasses and grabbing a pencil and notepad. He made a couch appear next to Gohan, but he didn't sit. "Okay, so... You want me to apologize for trying to impersonate your father and make you think you're a murderer..." Discord said. "H-How did you...?" Gohan asked. "At this point, I did my research. You're a bipolar, depressed kid." Discord said with a smirk. "What?" Gohan asked. "Anyone can see that, especially seeing what you've been through. We could talk about it, make you learn more about yourself." Discord said. "Enough!" Twilight yelled. "Unless you want us to turn you back into stone, you'll zap those animals back the way they were, pronto!" She yelled. Discord removed the couch, the glasses and the notepad. "Oh, you wouldn't dare turn me back to stone and risk disappointing your precious princess." Discord said, crossing his arms. He flung the pencil at a tree. "Try us, Dip-cord!" Rainbow Dash yelled. "You think you can treat poor defenseless animals like that and get away with it?!" Fluttershy yelled. "You go, Fluttershy!" Rainbow Dash cheered. "You'd best watch your step, buster, or I'll give you... the Stare!" Fluttershy said. "The Stare? Oh no, please, not that! Anything but your disapproving eyeballs!" Discord said sarcastically. At this point, he was laughing. Fluttershy unleashed it! "Oh no! No no no, stop! No, no!" Discord stopped laughing. He was choking himself, struggling... "I can't! Stop! I can't take it anymore! I'll do whatever you say! Because..." He said, struggling... Then he laughed again. "You're hilarious!" He said, slapping his knee. "If it turns out we use Gohan or the Elements against you, I'm sure we can convince Princess Celestia it was for a good reason!" Twilight yelled. "Yeah! Get him, Gohan!" Pinkie commanded, pointing at Discord. Gohan got into a fighting pose. "Oh, right. Remember these, best buddy?" Discord asked, snapping his fingers. A Gohan clone. "You..." Gohan said. Then Discord chuckled before removing it from reality. "I'm just joking, hoho!" He said. "I was going to eviscerate you and him at the same time, and use your gastrointestinal tract as a-" "-Whoa, whoa!" Twilight interrupted Gohan. "Keep the language down, Gohan!" Pinkie said. "In layman's terms, its skullfu-" "-NO!" Twilight yelled. "Okay! Okay." Gohan said. "Okay... I'll undo the bunny." Discord said, snapping his fingers. No more hulk bunny. Then... He used his tail to snap his tail fingers? I dunno. Then a bunch of nearby beavers had red eyes all of a sudden. Nobody happened to notice. "Well, it looks like I know where I'll be crashing while I'm being 'reformed...' With you, Fluttershy." He said, making Fluttershy appear in his arms. He noogied her. Then he started cackling. "Oh dear..." Fluttershy said. *** Now we're all at Fluttershy's cottage... Discord lounged on that green couch. Fluttershy was arranging things, like vases and such... To be hospitable. "He may be horrible, but that doesn't mean we have to act the same way. We should at least try to be hospitable..." She said. Then she realized. Angel happened to be by... "You don't mind giving up your favorite spot on the couch, do you, Angel Bunny?" Fluttershy whispered. Yes. Angel minds a lot. He hopped to Discord's leg and pulled on it. In a desperate attempt to get him off his favorite spot... He gave up pretty easily. So he walked away in anger. "Oh, I'm sorry about Angel. Are you alright?" Fluttershy asked. "Oh, yes. Thank you, Fluttershy, for your concern. If only your pony friends could be as considerate..." Discord sneered. "Don't listen to him, Fluttershy! He's just trying to drive a wedge between us like he always does." Rainbow Dash said. "Now WHY in the WORLD would I EVER try to do a thing like that?" Discord asked. "So you can prevent us from having a weapon to turn you to stone?" Gohan asked. ... "My thoughts exactly." Twilight said. "I've NEVER thought of that!" Discord said with a smile. "You big liar!" Rainbow Dash said. "Now look who's the liar!" Discord said. Now that we see him... "Anyone can plainly see that I'm not big at all." He said. He's like 1/20th of the couch. Then Angel came to the couch, wanting to take back his spot... Then Discord went back to normal size and knocked him away with his size. In doing that, he also knocked a light over. Fluttershy was devastated at that... "Oops." Discord said. He snapped his fingers to reuse the pieces... ...And made a miniature version of him in a skirt, holding a light bulb. ...Then Angel was back on the couch. So he used his tail to knock him off again. "I can't watch." Applejack said. "We'll be outside." Rainbow Dash said. "I'm staying." Gohan said. "Suit yourself!" Rarity said. Before Twilight walked out the door, she just had to ask Fluttershy... "You sure you're okay with this?" Twilight asked. "I know it's not gonna be easy, but Princess Celestia's counting on me. And... I think I actually know what to do." Fluttershy said. "You do?" Twilight asked excitedly. Now the real fun started... In the background of this conversation... Angel was trying to get on that damn couch. He tried charging at it and failed, because Discord lifted it up. Then Gohan came to the couch. "I think the key is to befriend him." She said. He grabbed on the leg tight. Discord tried moving the couch, but that didn't work. So he repeatedly slapped Gohan in the face with his tail. "Being kind to him and letting him be my house guest is probably the best way to do that." Fluttershy said. Angel tried jumping on, but Discord managed to move the couch a few feet to prevent that. Then Gohan instantly turned into a Super Saiyan... "You really think that'll work?" Twilight asked. "I think it's worth a try!" Fluttershy said. "Okay, but if you need us, all you need to do is whisper 'Help!'" Twilight said. Discord gestured for a game of Rock Paper Scissors. So Gohan agreed. "Saisho wa gu! Jyanken hoi!" Discord threw rock and Gohan threw scissors, so... "Eyyy!" Discord cheered. Gohan looked mildly distraught. "...And we'll be back here with our Elements." Twilight said. "So watch that goat-legged step of yours, pal!" She yelled at Discord. Now he and Gohan were playing more Japanese Rock Paper Scissors. "Haikodesho!" They both yelled, throwing rock. Then Discord heard Twilight... He snapped his fingers. All of a sudden, he and Gohan were in blue suits, sitting on fancy chairs, holding cups of tea. Discord got a blue hat, too. "Wh-what?! Look at me! I'm practically reformed already." He said. Twilight went outside. Then Discord and Gohan looked at each other again... ... "Saisho wa-" *** Outside... "She's really alright with him staying there?" Rarity asked. "That's what she said." Twilight said. "Personally, I think we should come up with a backup plan, in case this whole 'befriending' business doesn't work out." Rainbow Dash said. "Well, our backup plans are Gohan, and if that's not good enough... I think I have just the trick." Twilight said. *** Gohan was now a regular Saiyan, sitting on the opposite side of the couch with Discord... Who was eating Paper out of a bowl. With a fork. "Discord?" Fluttershy asked, poking her head in from her kitchen. "Oh, there you are. Listen, Discord, I just want to make sure you know that if there's anything I can do to- uh, umm, are you eating... paper?" Fluttershy asked. Discord swallowed some paper. "Am I? Huh, how odd of me." He said. I mean, I used to eat paper just to gross out my friends. It was funny. Anyway... "I know that paper can be eaten, but it's not exactly healthy..." Gohan said. "Well... Uh... I'm just heading out, so you just make yourself at home while I'm gone..." Fluttershy said. She went out the door. Discord stuck half his body out the door with a bathrobe on. "Bye bye! Have a nice time! Everything is fine! Bye bye!" He said. Then he stepped back inside... "Don't get any ideas..." Gohan said. ... Discord snapped his fingers, and... Now the entire house was spinning in circles, holy shit. By that, I mean up to down, not side to side. Things were falling and... Shit, Fluttershy's back. "What's going on here!?" She asked. Apparently Discord's couch was the only thing stationary. Fluttershy had to fly to keep on eye level... "Discord!" Gohan yelled. "Are you sure this isn't overdoing it? You said to make myself at home while you were gone, but I wouldn't want to overstep my bounds..." Discord said. A book smashed into Gohan's face. "Ow!" He yelled. "Ngh... I did say that, so... If this makes you more comfortable... By all means, please feel free..." Fluttershy said, narrowly dodging her pottery. "Oh, it does, very much so." Discord said. "Fluttershy, you can't just let him destroy your house!" Gohan said. "Oh, hush." Discord said, stuffing some paper into Gohan's mouth. Gohan spit it out. "This is completely asinine!" He yelled. "I-It's fine...?" Fluttershy said. Wasn't so sure, but... "Oh, you're so kind." Discord said, moving his head to be beside Fluttershy. "I always knew that you were the understanding one! Unlike those nasty friends of yours..." He muttered. "I can hear you!" Gohan said. Then Angel was smashed into his face. ...That rabbit clung on for dear life. "Yes, anyhow..." Discord said. "My friends aren't nasty!" Fluttershy yelled. "Well of COURSE you'd say that! It just goes to show how understanding you truly are!" Discord said, massaging her shoulders...? Then he teleported back into the couch. "I'm actually considering this reformation thing..." He said. Gohan managed to put Angel on his shoulder rather than his face. "This is a little overboard!" He said. "One of the animals could have their neck broken!" He added. "Fluttershy! Fluttershy!" Someone called from outside. "Oh! Twilight!" Fluttershy said. "Wait, take Angel, he's going to be hurt in here..." Gohan said. So Fluttershy grabbed Angel and headed outside, where... We could see the fucking house was removed from the ground and... Spinning in mid air. As soon as she left the premises, and closed the door... The house turned into an iceberg. "Ah!" Gohan yelled. ~~"MY DICK IS AN ICICLE!"~~ Fluttershy flew down to Twilight and Spike. And let Angel down gently. "What's going on!? Are you okay?" Twilight asked. "We're fine, everything's going great! Isn't it, Angel...?" Fluttershy asked. He had the thousand yard stare, don't mind him. "We've come to take you away from Discord! He's just terrible, and from the looks of it, completely out of control!" Twilight said. Now the house wasn't an iceberg anymore... "Oh, but you're wrong! We're making great progress!" Fluttershy said. "NO WE ARE NOT!" Gohan yelled from inside the house. "Er... Don't mind him, he's not accustomed to Discord yet..." Fluttershy said. "It doesn't look like he's being reformed..." Spike said. "I'm earning his trust by giving him some space to be himself..." Fluttershy said. "The animals are going crazy in here!" Gohan yelled. "Hate to break it to you, but he used that 'space to be himself' to tear out all the reforming spells from the library!" Spike said. "That does explain the paper eating..." Fluttershy said. "He ATE them!? UGH!" Twilight groaned. "But we aren't going to need a spell! He's already considering being reformed! He said so!" Fluttershy said. "You're actually believing him!?" Gohan asked. "Oh, hush, you're having fun." Discord said. "My sentiments exactly." Twilight said. "If I'm going to be his friend, I have to start by giving him the benefit of the doubt!" Fluttershy said. "This is too much!" Gohan yelled. "Tell you what, bring all the ponies over for a dinner party this evening, and I'll bet his manners will have really improved by then." Fluttershy said. "I'll even get him to put the cottage back on the ground..." She added. "THAT'S IT!" Gohan yelled. See, you're only looking at this from outside the cottage. You could hear a certain aura inside... See it through the windows. Maybe? "YEAAAGH!" Then the house was pushed to the ground. "Uh..." The three responded... Gohan opened the door... As a Super Saiyan. "No need... I already did it." He said. "Oh, I would've done it myself." Discord said. "In two hours!?" Gohan asked. "Why yes!" Discord said, being a troll. *** Dinner time...? Spike and the rest of the Mane 6 were approaching the house... "Ugh! I can't believe we're having a dinner party with Discord!" Rainbow Dash said. In the background, we can see those beavers from before. "This evening is sure to be a disaster. Glad I didn't bother wearing my fanciest outfit." Rarity said. She was the only one with a dress. "Fluttershy thinks this is the only way to reform Discord and asked us to give it a chance!" Twilight said. Then Discord came bursting out from the door, looking like a butler. He even has that moustache. "Oh! Our pony guests!" He said. Then he spit out a red carpet...? "We're so delighted that you'd come! Please. Do come in!" He said. ... *** This house looks different. A dining table with pillows as seats... "See what a beautiful job he did helping?" Fluttershy asked. "Discord set the entire table by himself! I'm so proud!" She said. Discord tried taking Twilight's crown... "May I take your... Hats please?" He asked. ... "Hang on to your Elements, girls, this is going to be bumpy night..." Twilight said. "It was bumpy enough watching him do this." Gohan said. Anyway... Everyone sat down and had a plate of apple pie, potatoes and... Apples. "As you all know, Princess Celestia hopes to have Discord use his magic for good instead of evil." Fluttershy said. Pinkie already dug into her potatoes... And she had a potato beard? "Pinkie Pie? Care for some gravy?" Fluttershy asked. "You bet!" Pinkie said. "Allow me!" Discord said, snapping his fingers. Then the cup of gravy grew tiny legs...? It turned into a dog, I think... It was barking and panting like one... There was a drop hanging out... "Why is the gravy defying the laws of physics...?" Gohan asked. "Ooh! What a cute little gravy boat you are!" Pinkie said, petting it...? "Yes you are! Yes you are!" She coddled. The gravy licked her? I can't tell anymore. It poured some gravy on her plate, at least. It ran all over the table. "That's one creepy gravy boat if you ask me..." Rainbow Dash said. "Oh, come on now, Dashie! You're not even giving us a chance!" Fluttershy said. The gravy ended up pouring some of itself on Rainbow Dash to burn her. "Hey! That's hot!" She yelled, flying up. Discord tried containing his laughter. "Oh- Ha... I'm so sorry!" He said. "He did that on purpose!" Rainbow Dash said. "Oh, I don't know about that! Mistakes happen!" Discord said. "Oh look! Dancing candles!" He said. There were six dancing candles on the table... ...But Rainbow Dash blew them out in an instant. "I'm not falling for that! Discord's just trying to distract us from..." She said, before she realized that the candles were flying. They all started poking her. "Hey! Knock it off! Ow! I suppose THAT'S another mistake?" She asked angrily. "No... I just think you made them mad." Discord said. "You made inanimate objects sentient!?" Gohan asked. "What do you expect?" Discord asked. "There's something fishy going on..." Twilight said. It just so happens that there was a soup terrine in the shape of a fish. It spit tomato soup right at Twilight... Then it hit Spike. It moved around the table. "Discord...?" Fluttershy asked. "Well, it's hardly my fault, it's the soup terrine's fault that it thinks 'something fishy' is offensive..." Discord said. "Not the dress, NOT THE DRESS!" Rarity pleaded. It spit at the dress. "That thing's only doing what you're making it do!" Applejack said. Then it sprayed Gohan, and, well, he opened his mouth to drink it? It kept going for a while... "Let's not jump to any conclusions..." Fluttershy said. It stopped feeding Gohan. "He's literally laughing at this." He said. Discord used his hands to cover his mouth, but he was clearly laughing. "Fluttershy, can't you see what he's doing?" Rainbow Dash asked, kicking a candle away. "He's playing innocent with you so you won't use the Elements of Harmony against him!" She said. ...Then the soup terrine sprayed her. "Oh, well, that's a bit harsh... Isn't it?" Discord said. Rainbow Dash covered the terrine in a dome... "You see what I'm saying, Fluttershy? Fluttershy!" She yelled. "You know what I see? I see that Discord's far from perfect! But I also see none of you giving him a chance!" Fluttershy said. "I am! I'm not trying to blast or fight him!" Gohan said. Everyone else was just complaining. "Why do you keep cutting him so much slack!?" Rainbow Dash asked. Fluttershy hugged Discord. "Because that's what friends do!" She said. Discord was a little surprised... "We're friends?" He asked, genuinely confused. "Why of course! I can't remember my house being this lively before you came along!" Fluttershy said. "Oh... Well... I... I've never really had a friend before..." Discord said. "Well, now you do!" Fluttershy said. Everything inanimate that was moving stopped... ...But then Angel opened the window. He tried saying something. "N-Now is not a good time, Angel, we're having a dinner party..." Fluttershy said. "Hold up! I think he's tryin' to tell us something!" Applejack said. First Angle poured a cup of water on himself... But nobody got that, so he grabbed an apple. "Apple!" Everyone said. Then he pointed at Applejack. "Applejack!" Everyone said. Nope. He got a pitcher of apple cider and put the apple in there. "Sweet Apple Acres?" Rarity asked. Yes! ~~I'll take charades for $200.~~ "Flooding at Sweet Apple Acres! And we all know who's behind that, don't we?" Rainbow Dash asked, pointing at Discord. "Who, me?" Discord asked. He suddenly had a halo... "Well, it might not be him, but I'm sure haloes only go on dead people." Gohan said. *** Holy shit! This is a fucking flood alright. It's like another lake, Jesus. What the hell, beavers? They're making Hoover Dams out of wood! Applejack's relatives were in barrels just to traverse it... "I've never seen flooding this bad! They've built dams here before, but never like this!" Applejack said. These fucking beavers and their dams... Damn you! Fluttershy tried talking, but they pretty much responded with- "Fuck off! This is OUR dam!" "Hell no we're not getting rid of it!" Fluttershy gasped. "Such language!" She said. "It's no use... They won't listen to a word I say!" She added. "Now we know Discord is behind this..." Gohan said. "Obviously! Do you all think I'm a silly, gullible fool!?" Fluttershy asked. "In this regard, you've been totally gullible!" Gohan said. Pretty much everyone else was trying to say it nicely, but the answer was yes. "I've just been trying to gain his friendship in any way I can! So that he'd come to trust and listen to me!" Fluttershy said. "Hey there, Fluttershy!" Discord said from afar... He was water skiing... Apparently those fish soup terrines were his boats? "Want a turn!? The water's great!" He yelled. He glided on his head... "Time to see if it worked..." Fluttershy said. Discord ran onto the land. "Fluttershy! Oh, there you are! A sight for sore eyes..." He said. "As you can see, there's a mess down here at Sweet Apple Acres!" Fluttershy said. "Oh, yes, awful business dam, hmm..." Discord said, drying himself with a towel. "It IS awful! This is Applejack's home! And it's being destroyed by innocent creatures who would never be acting this way if it weren't for your reckless behavior!" Fluttershy said. "You need to fix this!" She demanded. "...Well, yes, very well, I will fix it! I only ask for one thing in return..." Discord said. "Yes?" Fluttershy asked. "I ask that you never use your element of Harmony against me!" Discord said. ... "As a sign of our friendship!" Discord said. "You can't be serious..." Gohan said. Fluttershy turned to her friends, who all shook their heads. ...But, she took it off. "I will never use my Element of Harmony against you!" She said. She threw it down to Spike. "Excellent!" Discord said. He snapped his fingers. ... What the hell!? It's frozen over! "There! Much better! I do prefer ice skating to water skiing!" Discord said, skating... "Don't you!?" He asked. Then three more Discords appeared, holding up 10 signs... "Discord!" Fluttershy yelled. "That's not fixing it!" She yelled, jumping onto the ice. Discord stopped skating... Fluttershy ran at him! "Why I oughta...!" She yelled, before sliding way past Discord... "Where are you going?" Discord asked. Fluttershy couldn't really move now, but she managed to stop sliding. Discord got in front of her. "What's wrong, pal?" He asked. "Don't call me your pal!" Fluttershy said. "Oh, come skating with me! And we'll let bygones be bygones!" Discord said, making skates appear for a pony. "Discord!" Gohan yelled. "Oh, right, you." Discord said. Gohan was running at him. "I have a bone to pi-" Suddenly, all the way from his neck to his feet, he was in a block of ice. He stopped in place on the ice. ... "...Really?" He asked. He burst free, relaxing his arms and legs, and- Damn it, again!? "Come on!" He yelled. Discord kept laughing. Gohan jumped towards him, and...! ...Fell on the front. "What are you gonna do now?" Discord asked. "That's it! Body slam!" Gohan yelled. "Body wha-" Gohan threw his icey self right at Discord's face! He got a direct hit! So now there's a block of ice just floating there. "How's that for nothing?" Gohan asked. He moved himself forward and back, as if jabbing with his body. "Ha! Ha! Hyah! I know it looks like I'm a master, but I'm really grasping to not fall off balance." He said. "Wow... Nice hit." Spike said. "He fixes this or goes back to being stone!" Twilight yelled. "What she said." Gohan said. Fluttershy had to choose... Let Gohan go full power on Discord? Or let Discord go free... "...Gohan, don't attack him, please..." She said. "What!?" Everyone but Discord asked. Fluttershy took the tied skates by the mouth... But she still looked pissed. Yeah, nobody's happy. Except Discord. "Yes! Haha! You see? She wants to have fun with me because WE'RE friends! She doesn't want the kid to attack me because we're friends! She can't use the Elements against me because we're friends! I'm free forever!" He bragged. Then he cackled. "I can still defy her, you know." Gohan said. It's funny that a floating block of ice is telling him that. But... "I'M... NOT! YOUR! FRIEND!" Fluttershy yelled, hurling those skates aside. "Who cares? I can do whatever I want, whenever I want!" Discord said. "I'm still here!" Gohan yelled. "I'm Discord! The master of chaos!" Discord yelled. Fluttershy was angrily trotting away. Discord teleported so that he was skating beside her... "You think you could boss Discord around? You think I'm just going to turn all this back because you say so? Because if I don't, I'll lose the one friend I ever had?" He asked. Then it hit him. He stopped skating, and... Looked genuinely remorseful... "Oh... Oh... W...Well played Fluttershy... Well played." He said. He sat atop a tree... And he undid everything with a snap. The dam was gone and everything was back to normal. Yes, even Gohan wasn't stuck in an ice cube anymore. Yes! Success! "I like it better my way, but... I guess when you're friends, you can't exactly have things your way all the time..." Discord said. *** We did it, America. I know what you're saying, "What did we do?" ~~"I'm not American!"~~ We did it. "What?" It. Anyway... Then when everyone's Cutie mark was changed, it was stupid. But it was for the best. Also, this is another one I should've done. ~~I fucking hate you, past me!~~ *** What beautiful day! Gohan was soaring the skies. The clear skies... Nobody stopping him now. Bright smile, having such a good time. Holding no ball. Nobody stop him now- A cloud nearly smashed into him! "What the-" He quickly stopped in the air. ... The clouds are flying everywhere... "Wait, is Discord doing something again?" He said to himself. Then some lightning came at him. "Woah!" He yelled, punching it away. The spark eventually disappeared from his sight. ... "...I didn't think that was possible for me... Whatever." He said. 'Well, the clouds are erratic but not pink... I think it isn't Discord.' He thought. And below him, in Ponyville... Yeah, see... Rarity was using her magic to move storm clouds all over the fucking place. And a bunch of ponies are complaining that she sucks ass at her job. Gohan flew down to this... scene. Apparently it's all stupid. The crowd was yelling at her. "You stink!" "We demand a better weatherpony!" And the sorts. He landed beside Twilight. "Oh, thank goodness you're here." Twilight said. "Can you explain to me what's happening...?" Gohan asked. Then he saw Rarity's cutie mark... It was Rainbow Dash's? "Why...?" He asked. "I don't know...! Rarity said Rainbow Dash was at her cottage...?" Twilight asked. "Okay, I think I sorta get it now." Gohan said. "You're not different, are you?" Twilight asked. "I don't feel any different..." Gohan said. "Neither does she..." Twilight said. "I can only imagine how Rainbow Dash is." Gohan said. *** Well, those two and Spike were now heading to Fluttershy's cottage. Or... Well, you'll see. "I still don't know what you had to wake me up for. I love sleeping in the rain." Spike said. "It's not about the weather, Spike. Rarity had Rainbow Dash's cutie mark and said this was Rainbow Dash's cottage." Twilight said. "Which doesn't make sense at all." Gohan said. They approached the door, and Twilight knocked... Rainbow Dash poked her head out through the door. "...Hey guys..." She said. "Rainbow Dash, why is Rarity doing your job?" Twilight asked. There was a loud smash. So Rainbow Dash zipped back inside. Gohan opened the door completely. "And what in Equestria is going on in... here?" Twilight asked. Every animal was out of control, holy shit. "And you have Fluttershy's cutie mark... Crapbaskets." Gohan said. "Gah! Can't you just get them to stand still for one moment!?" Rainbow Dash asked. She was clearly angry with them... "You're doing it all wrong, you need to tend to them one at a time." Gohan said. Rainbow Dash shoved Gummy, a tiny alligator into a birdcage... "Look." Gohan said, going to a cat that was ruining the curtains with it's claws. "Hey there...!" He said with a dumb voice. The cat wanted to gouge his eyes out. "It's going to be okay..." Gohan said, petting it once. *** Well, those three were out the door. Gohan had a bunch of scratch marks on his face. "Well, that was a bust. I should've remembered that Fluttershy told me that was the cat who hated petting." He said. "Oh... I hope Fluttershy has it a bit better..." Twilight said. "Well, she's at Sugarcube Corner... So that can't be good." Gohan said. *** Fluttershy was trying to make a crowd of ponies laugh... Failing miserably. She tried blowing a balloon and letting it loose, but nobody gave a shit. She wore a funny nose and mustache with glasses... And still nobody gave a shit. Someone pulled Fluttershy away before she made an even worse fool of herself. Behind a cabinet... Where our three were... "Fluttershy! What are you doing?" Twilight whispered. "I'm just doing what I normally do..." Fluttershy said. "But you normally take care of animals." Gohan said. "No, that's Rainbow Dash's job... I'm a disgrace at this job, but I have to do it. It's why I have my cutie mark..." Fluttershy said. "Pinkie Pie's cutie mark, huh?" Gohan asked. "I-I'm sorry, I have to get back to work..." Fluttershy said. "I may not be good, but it's all I can do...!" She said optimistically. I don't even see how that's optimistic. She went back to fucking up even worse. Twilight sighed. "This isn't good... What happened to Pinkie...?" She asked. "I don't want to answer that." Gohan said. *** Wow, Pinkie was fucking up worse than Fluttershy. Gohan, Twilight and Spike all watched in sorrow as they watched Pinkie fail to pick apples, move a plow, and do all sorts of farmwork. It was just sad to watch... I mean, Pinkie couldn't even kick the trees correctly. She had a flat mane. She bent her backhooves the wrong way every time she kicked a tree. Sometimes it defied logic...? "Pinkie..." Twilight said. "I know, I know, I'm not kickin' it right!" Pinkie said, with a southern accent. "...You're kicking a dead tree." Gohan said. And yes, there were no leaves on that tree whatsoever. "Aw, shoot. Better get to another one..." Pinkie said. She walked away. "This isn't good either." Spike said. "But, she kept saying the same thing." Gohan said. "It's what I have to do! My cutie mark says so...!" "What about Applejack!?" Twilight asked. Applejack's cutie mark... Fuck. *** Applejack was at least doing something... But her cutie mark was Rarity's. You know what that means? All her dresses were like shit! They even smelled like shit! ~~I mean, Filthy Frank's gonna pop up, yelling:~~ ~~"IT SMELLS LIKE SHIT IN HERE!"~~ Anyway. "Applejack, what the heck are you doing...?" Twilight asked. "Making dresses... Like my cutie mark says." Applejack said. She just broke her sewing machine. "But that's not- Ugh..." Gohan sighed. "Well, Rarity's stuck with the weather, so..." Twilight said. "Do you have any idea as to how this happened? I am just lost." Gohan said. "Well, maybe... Follow me." Twilight said, walking away. They left the boutique... "Come back anytime, y'all!" Applejack said. ... ~~"MAAAAN! IT STILL SMELLS LIKE SHIT!~~ *** Well, the library. "This is bad. This is very, very bad!" Twilight said. "You don't need to capitalize the point, we all get it." Gohan said. "What's going on? Why is this happening?!" Spike asked. "Last night when you were taking one of your seven-hour bubble baths..." Twilight said. "Seven hours!? How do you do that?" Gohan asked. "How do you train for that long?" Spike asked. "Huh. Good point." Gohan said. "Anyway... I got a special delivery from the princess." Twilight said. Let's cut to last night... *** Twilight read a letter from Celestia. "Dear Twilight Sparkle, The spell contained on the last page of this book is Star Swirl the Bearded's secret unfinished masterpiece." She read aloud. She gasped excitedly. "Ooh!" "He was never able to get it right, and thus abandoned it. I believe you are the only pony who can understand and rewrite it. Princess Celestia." Then she opened the book, and flipped to the last page. She read what was there... "'From one to another, another to one. A mark of one's destiny singled out alone, fulfilled.' That doesn't make any sense. It doesn't even rhyme!" Twilight said. The Elements of Harmony, which just so happened to be on display behind her, all changed colors. Except her's. "I cast the spell so I could find out what it was, but nothing seemed to happen." Twilight said. Let's cut back to the present. "But now I know something DID happen. The spell has changed the Elements of Harmony! That must be why their cutie marks are all wrong!" She said. Those Elements were on display... Completely wrong colors. "So YOU did it?" Gohan asked. "I didn't mean to...!" Twilight said, stressed out. "I understand the feeling..." Gohan said. 'Well, sorry, dad.' He thought. "But we can find a way." He said. "Yeah! Just cast a counter spell to switch them back." Spike said. Twilight looked through the book... "There IS no counter spell!" She said. "Then we are totally screwed." Gohan said. "Why don't you just use that memory spell you used to fix everypony when Discord was here?" Spike asked. "Memory can't change physical and magical attributes, Spike." Gohan said. "Yeah! It's not their memory, it's their true self that's been altered!" Twilight said. "Zecora's cure for the Cutie Pox?" Spike asked. "This isn't a case of Cutie Pox." Gohan said. "That won't work...!" Twilight said, throwing the book to Gohan. Twilight went up the stairs to her room. "I'm sure we can find a way, Twilight!" Gohan said. "I don't think there's a way...!" Twilight said, stopping short. "Well, maybe it won't be so bad. Maybe our friends will grow to like their new lives." Spike said. "No, Spike. They're not who they are meant to be anymore. Their destinies are now changed, and it's all my fault..." Twilight said, with teary eyes. She went into her room. "Well, Spike, it's just you and me now." Gohan said. "I don't know what to do." Spike said. "Yeah... Me neither." Gohan said. ... "...You wanna help?" He asked. "Actually... I think I'll go to bed. I wanted to sleep in." Spike said. So he went up those stairs. ... '...Crapbaskets.' Gohan thought. "Well, only one thing to do." He muttered. He started by reading through that book Twilight had. ...No lead. Then he started looking for any spells with cutie marks... Went through a lot of books. "There's NO spell related to this!?" He said to himself. Then he sighed. "I think I need the chalkboard." He said to himself. *** It's been an entire day. Twilight was moping in bed before finally going to bed. Spike slept the entire day and night... But he got up. Uh... Gohan's sleeping on a pile of books. He has bags under his eyes. There's a chalkboard with all sorts of math. And it's only been a day, and everyone's fucked up so bad that they're homeless and shiet. Pinkie ruined every tree and crop down at the farm... Fluttershy is scared of being bad at entertaining, and now resides in a fountain. Rainbow Dash is just contemplating suicide because of all these fucking animals. Applejack has to close down the boutique, everyone hates it. And Rarity doesn't seem to have a home either, she's stuck in the rain. Nobody even wants to be near her. This is a fucked up episode, now that I think about it... Twilight woke up, still moping. She looked out the window... It was raining. ... Spike walked by... ... "Oh, Spike, what have I done?" Twilight asked. "Aw, come on, Twilight, you'll figure out a way to fix this. These are your friends." Spike said. ... "You're right, Spike." Twilight said. She got out of bed, and raced downstairs! ...To find Gohan sleeping on a pile of books. He did a lot of math on that chalkboard. Twilight nudged him awake. Gohan groaned as he slightly opened his eyes. "Good morning..." Twilight said. "No, dad, we don't want the house smelling like bacon... Huh?" Gohan asked, actually waking up. He sat up. "Is it morning?" He asked. "Yeah... It looks like you worked hard yesterday." Spike said. "I can't find a clue. I went through all these spellbooks and nothing." Gohan said. "I don't know how we can help our friends." He said. "I know... They mean more to me than anything..." Twilight said, walking up to a framed photo of the seven... ...Holy shit, why is she glowing purple? "My friends..." She said with a smile. "Twilight...? Are you alright?" Spike asked. "You are emitting about 10000 lumens of light! That's unusual...!" Gohan said. Twilight had magic in her eyes now... "I've got it! I know what to do!" She said. "You do!?" Gohan and Spike asked. "You managed to do it in five seconds, and it took me all day!" Gohan complained. Twilight grabbed the Elements of Harmony and it's respective chest. "I may not be able to remind them of who they are, but I can show them what they mean to each other." She said. She put the Elements in the chest, while putting on her crown. "They'll find the part of themselves that's been lost so they can help the friend they care about so much!" She said. "That makes a lot of sense! I wonder how I never thought of that..." Gohan said. Twilight gave the chest to Gohan. "Come on, you too!" She said, running out the door. "Yes ma'am!" The two yelled, following her. *** Yeah, see... Fluttershy had a packed bag. She was headed towards a hot air balloon... She gave the pilot some bits. "Fluttershy, wait!" Twilight said. The three got to her... "Oh... Hey Twilight... Hey Gohan... Hey Spike..." Fluttershy said. "Where are you going...?" Gohan asked. "I'm moving back to Cloudsdale. I don't know what's wrong, but I can't seem to make anypony laugh." Fluttershy said, pulling out a whoopie cushion. She deflated it, but it made a horrible sound. "Before you go, I was wondering if you might be willing to help Rainbow Dash. She's really struggling with her animals." Twilight said. "But... I don't really know anything about animals..." Fluttershy said. "Well, maybe not yet, but what do you know about Rainbow Dash?" Gohan asked. "...I... know that she's a true friend, and I'll do anything I can to help her." Fluttershy said. "Great!" Spike said. *** That cottage... Again. Walking up to it... It seemed quiet. Then the door got banged on, and screaming was heard. Then a bunch of animals were screaming. "In here!" Rainbow Dash yelled. "Rainbow Dash!" Twilight yelled. Gohan kicked the door open, luckily not damaging it. A bunch of animals were marching around a giant pot... With Rainbow Dash inside. "Help! I'm trapped!" She yelled, all tied up. All the animals had forks and spoons... Gohan was about to race in, but Twilight put a hoof on his shoulder. "Hurry, Twilight! Can't you do some sort of spell to get her out?" Fluttershy asked. "No. Fluttershy." Twilight said. "Gohan, can't you get her out...?" Fluttershy asked. "No, you're the only one who can help!" Gohan said. "Rainbow Dash needs YOU!" Twilight said. Yeah, they're about ready to cut her open. Fluttershy gulped as she approached the animals... "Um... Hello?" She asked. They were all going crazy. "Little... woodland... creatures?" Fluttershy asked. A bear used a fucking table as a back scratcher. Fluttershy went to a mouse. "I know that you're all very upset and feel like giving Rainbow Dash a hard time..." She said. Then the animals started paying attention to her. "...But we'd all really appreciate it if you'd calm down and, um, maybe... rest for a bit?" She asked. All of them stood at attention with her around! Well, they were waiting for her to do something. "Oh, Uh... look!" Fluttershy said, pulling out a salad. "Here's some nice, juicy leaves for you to munch on. And some crunchy, munchy acorns too." She said, laying those out for the squirrels. "Uh, wouldn't you like to take a break and have a little snack?" She asked. All the animals dropped the weapons and silverwear... Every animal had their food to eat... "Aww, look at that. I guess you were all just cranky because you were hungry." Fluttershy said. Then Angel jumped to give her a hug... Then a few birds surrounded her. "Oh, you are very welcome, little friends." She said. Then the bear grabbed her to kiss her on the forehead and give her a hug... Then she started glowing pink. "Goodness, it's like I can understand them!" She said. Gohan, Twilight, and Spike looked happy... Gohan gave the chest to Spike. "Hold it for a moment." He said, opening it. He took out her element of Harmony... "I... I feel strange, like... like this is what I'm meant to do, like this is who I am! My destiny!" Fluttershy said. Gohan threw the element right at her neck! ...No, it didn't chop her head off. Then, as soon as the necklace got on her... She remembered EVERYTHING. She eventually collapsed... But got right back up. "Wha... What happened...?" She asked. "Fluttershy, look! Your cutie mark!" Twilight said. Yeah... It was back to normal! "It worked! It worked! Oh, I'm so happy you're back to normal! Now we need your help!" She said. "I hear a musical number coming." Gohan whispered to Spike. "Same here." Spike said. "I'm not a singer, so... Have fun." Gohan said. Then Twilight started singing... "A true, true friend helps a friend in need... A friend will be there to help them see!" Then Fluttershy joined in... "A true, true friend helps a friend in need! To see the light that shines from a true, true friend!" They sang. Then Rainbow Dash spoke up. "Um, hello? Friend trapped inside, remember?" She asked. Gohan removed the rope for her. Rainbow Dash flew out of the pot. "Thanks!" She said. *** Now we're at Ponyville, where Rarity was fucking up so badly. "Rarity needs your help! She's trying hard, doing what she can..." Twilight sang. Rainbow Dash didn't seem like she was willing to help... But Fluttershy sang. "Would you try, just give it a chance... You might find that you'll start to understand!" She sang. Rainbow Dash flew up to kick a cloud... Then she got the hang of it. Now she was flying everywhere, using tornadoes to clear the skies... "A true, true friend helps a friend in need! A friend will be there to help you see! A true, true friend helps a friend in need!" Twilight and Fluttershy sang. Rainbow Dash started glowing red... So Gohan opened the chest and took out her element. He hurled that son of a bitch right into her neck! Then all her memories came back to her... "To see the light that shines from a true, true friend!" Twilight and Fluttershy sang. Rainbow Dash ended up collapsing, but getting straight back up. "Uh, what just happened?" She asked. "There's no time to explain, but we need your help." Twilight said. "Applejack's trying to make dresses." Gohan said. Then Rainbow Dash knew what the hell was happening... "Say no more!" She said. Now our group turned to Rarity. *** At the boutique, all boarded up and full of bad and smelly dresses... ~~"I'M GOING TO CALL CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES!"~~ "Applejack needs your help! She's trying hard, doing what she can..." Rainbow Dash sang. Yeah, Applejack just broke the sewing machine again. She really didn't know what she was doing, and started crying... Rarity went to help! "Would you try, just give it a chance... You might find that you'll start to understand!" Rainbow Dash sang. Rarity started by taking the fabric and properly cutting it... Twilight just threw out all of Applejack's dresses... Applejack smiled at that... "A true, true friend helps a friend in need! A friend will be there to help them see!" Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy and Twilight sang. Rarity started making a dress of her own with different kinds of methods... Looking at diagrams and shiet. "A true, true friend helps a friend in need! To see the light that shines from a true, true friend!" They sang. Gohan pulled out her element! Why? Now Rarity was glowing purple. So he chucked that son of a bitch at her neck. Then all the memories came flooding back to her... She ended up collapsing on the table. Her cutie mark was back... "Oh my, what a terrible dream I had!" She said. Then she noticed Applejack and her dress... "...Or, maybe I'm still having it." She said. "Rarity, Pinkie Pie is about to lose the apple farm. We need Applejack's help!" Twilight said. "Lose the apple farm? Well we can't let that happen, now can we?" Rarity asked. She grabbed Applejack, singing... "Pinkie Pie is in trouble! We need to get there by her side!" She sang. *** Now we're at the farm... Jesus Christ, every crop is dead. How are they gonna fix this shit? "We can try to do what we can now! For together we can be her guide!" Rarity sang. Applejack helped her fix that damn pipe... Which was the start of this whole thing. "A true, true friend helps a friend in need! A friend will be there to help them see!" Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Rarity and Twilight sang... This is going to get long. Applejack was bucking trees properly, her siblings were farming the right way... And now she started glowing again. Gohan grabbed the element... "A true, true friend helps a friend in need! To see the light that shines from a true, true friend!" They sang... Gohan hurled it at Applejack! All the memories came back to her... Well, no collapsing, but she has her cutie mark now. "Yeehaw! Now that's more like it! What's next?" Applejack asked. "The townspeople are furious. We need the old Pinkie Pie back." Gohan said. "I'm on it. I know just the thing." Applejack said. *** Now Applejack was carrying Pinkie into Ponyville... Weird. "The townspeople need you, They've been sad for a while!" Applejack sang. Yeah, every pony is fucking mad as shit. Just looking at each other makes them wanna kill each other. "They march around, face a-frown, and never seem to smile! And if you feel like helpin', we'd appreciate a lot!" Applejack sang/yelled so loudly everyone can hear her. Gohan put that damn element on her, Applejack put a funny glasses/nose/mustache mask on her and pushed her in front of the crowd. "If you'd get up there and spread some cheer! From here to Canterlot!" Applejack sang. Pinkie got all her memories back just like that... "Come on ponies, I wanna see you SMILE!" Pinkie yelled, getting all her attributes back. The poofy Mane and cutie mark... Then all the ponies shouted- "PINKIE!" *** Now we're marching through the town...! The band and chorus are playing along. "A true, true friend helps a friend in need! A friend will be there to help them see! A true, true friend helps a friend in need! To see the light!" The Mane 6 sang... "See the light!" The Chorus sang. "That shines!" Everyone but the chorus sang. "That shines!" The chorus sang. Then Twilight pulled the rest of the Mane 6 in for a huge hug... "From a true, true friend!" They sang. Leaving Gohan out, eh? He's heavy, I guess... They all got back on the ground... Then Twilight thought about the spell. 'A mark of one's destiny, singled out alone, fulfilled.' She thought. Then she gasped. "What?" Gohan asked. "Wait a second, that's it! I understand now! I know how to fix the spell!" Twilight said. "D-Didn't we already fix it, though...?" Gohan asked. *** Twilight ran back into her library... Grabbing the book, and a quill. The rest of our gang came in and watched. "From all of us together, together we're friends. With the marks of our destinies made one, there is magic without end!" Twilight wrote and said! And with that, her element shines brightly. Then it let out magical shockwaves and an even brighter light. "50,000 lumens!" Gohan yelled. "NERRRD!" Rainbow Dash yelled. Then Twilight was enveloped in a white ball... Then the rest of the Mane 6 had their Elements uncontrollably blast into the ball... Then the brightest light came from it! Nobody could see shit for a nanosecond. Once they could all see... "Was that 600,000 lumens of light?" Gohan asked. Well, the more important question is- "What happened!?" Fluttershy asked. Then Twilight was gone. Yep, she left a burn of her cutie mark behind. "Where'd she go!?" Applejack asked. "I mean... I think she's in that burn? I can feel her inside it, but you can't actually enter it...?" Gohan asked. He poked it, and just as suspected... "I'm confused." He said. *** Welcome to a ripoff of that scene in Harry Potter! Twilight's in some different plane of existence... "Hello...? Where am I? What is this place?" She asked. Her words echoed... Then Celestia walked in out of nowhere... "Congratulations, Twilight. I knew you could do it." She said. Her words echoed too. Twilight walked up to her. "Princess... I don't understand. What did I do?" She asked. "You did something today that's never been done before. Something even a great unicorn like Star Swirl the Bearded was not able to do, because he did not understand friendship like you do. The lessons you've learned here in Ponyville have taught you well. You have proven that you're ready, Twilight." Celestia said. She started walking... "Ready? Ready for what...?" Twilight asked. Then a bunch of images of her past experiences with her friends popped up like a gallery. Oh, shit, a musical number. Let's just skip all that... *** Our friends were outside the Treehouse... At night. "I give up, I can't tell where she is, but I can sense her." Gohan said. Then, in the night sky... A giant cutie mark of Twilight appeared! It slowly shrunk and flew down in front of our group. "Twilight?" Gohan asked. There was a giant flash of light... And a silhouette of Twilight... "Is that you, Twilight?" Applejack asked. Then we can see Twilight... With a minor adjustment. She got herself up... And revealed her wings! With even more light! And glitter! Everyone gasped. "E-Evolution!? That rapid!?" Gohan asked. Twilight didn't even understand why her wings are there... "Wha... I-I've never seen anything like it!" Applejack said, completely flabbergasted. Well, everyone is. "Ha! Twilight's got wings! Awesome! A new flying buddy!" Rainbow Dash said, hugging Twilight. She chuckled. "Why, you've become an Alicorn. I didn't even know that was possible." Rarity said. "That's scientifically impossible! No recorded data of an organism that large evolving so rapidly exists!" Gohan said. "Gohan, you're too much of an egghead!" Rainbow Dash said. "I'm not even mad... I'm just gladly shocked. Your power rose exponentially!" Gohan said. Then Pinkie flew with a rope attached to... The sky? She had fake wings and a party hat as a horn... "ALICORN PARTY!" She screamed, blowing a kazoo. Confetti and balloons flew everywhere... Makes no sense. "Wow! You look just like a princess!" Fluttershy said. "That's because she is a princess." Celestia said. She flew in... Yeah- Nobody understood what the fuck she just said. "Hold on a second!" Pinkie said. She pulled out a glass of water, drank it... ...Only to spit it out. "...A... A princess...!?" Twilight asked. "Since you've come to Ponyville, you've displayed the charity, compassion, devotion, integrity, optimism, and of course, the leadership of a true princess." Celestia said. "Wait a second!" Pinkie said. "So what's that make him?" She asked, pointing a hoof at Gohan. "A simple minded warrior. I'm not worthy of that kind of title." Gohan said. "But... does this mean I won't be your student anymore?" Twilight asked. "Not in the same way as before. I'll still be here to help and guide you, but we're all your students now, too. You are an inspiration to us all, Twilight." Celestia said. She bowed to Twilight... So did Rarity. Then Fluttershy... Then Rainbow, Applejack, Pinkie, and Spike... And Gohan got on one knee before bowing. Twilight was still trying to take it all in... We're throwing a lot at her. "But... what do I do now? Is there a book about being a princess I should read?" Twilight asked. "There will be time for all of that later." Celestia said, giggling. *** Well... Now, it's time... For Equestria Girls! Author's Note Finally. Those edits are done. After two damn months, it's finally over, damn it! I really hope this is a lot better than my previous pathetic excuse for a chapter... I was in a rush to get to Equestria Girls... But, now I somewhat rectified the mistake. Please, tell me what you think of the new edits. I tried as hard as I could.
Equestria GirlsAuthor's Note This is a feature chapter. Jesus that sounds stupid. Just enjoy. Equestria Girls Gohan, Spike and the Mane 6 were visiting the Crystal Empire! "Whooee!" Applejack said. "You said it. You guys watched me sleep here!" Gohan joked. "Y-Yeah, hah!" Twilight laughed. "And I finally left my sword at home." Gohan said. "Your very first princess summit! You must be excited, Twilight. You should be over the moon!" Applejack said. "Yes, I am excited, but I'm a little nervous too!" Twilight said. "You're nervouciting! It's like you want to jump up and yell YAY ME!" Pinkie Pie said, doing that. "But you also want to curl up into a teeny tiny ball and hide at the same time!" She said, doing that too. "We've all been there!" Pinkie Pie said, noogieing Twilight. "I'm there almost everyday..." Fluttershy said. "Everything's gonna be okay, Twilight." Applejack said. "TWILIGHT! I just realized your not wearing your crown!" Rarity said. "It's in my bag." Twilight said. Spike was patting the bag. Or suitcase, really. "Just feeling a little self conscious about wearing it." Twilight said. "Oh, don't be afraid Twilight. I know a guy who's technically a king but boasts he's a prince but doesn't do prince stuff." Gohan reassured. "That confused me more than Pinkie." Twilight said. "Sorry. Carry on." Gohan said. *** The eight met the three princesses in the throne room. "Twilight! I haven't seen you since the coronation!" Cadence said. "We have so much to discuss. But it can wait until tomorrow." Celestia said. "You all look tired from your journey. Now off to bed." Celestia said. *** Each pony/person had their own room. Gohan only packed a gi, and his formal wear along with a few bits. He was just about ready to crash until he sensed something odd. Everyone was rushing out of their rooms, along with another pony. Gohan rushed to a different room where everyone was. Twilight's crown was sent flying into a mirror! The pony, known as Sunset Shimmer, ran in after it. "GET BACK HERE!" Gohan yelled, dashing into the portal after her. All the ponies gasped. *** Gohan opened his eyes... It was daytime despite it being Night? Gohan got himself up. He wasn't changed a bit. But he did notice something different. It scared him so much. Oh so bad. He was at a high school! Well, that's not so bad. But the bad part was he saw other humans!? "W-What!?" Gohan asked. He began to think the mirror led him back to Earth again. 'N-Now Piccolo, Trunks and the others are going to kill me!' Gohan thought. But he couldn't sense anyone familiar. He would at least sense Vegeta, he would be training. Unless he died... Whatever, he didn't want to think about it. "W-Would anyone like to help at the animal shelter?" He heard. Gohan looked to the other side of the statue he was beside to see... What. What!? WHAT!? WHAAAT!? A human FLUTTERSHY!? 'H-Hang on, this could be a coincidence! Unless there's a Rainbow Dash... And an Applejack... And everyone else.' Gohan thought. The girl sat down and began to cry. Nobody was willing to help her at the animal shelter. "A-Are you okay?" Gohan asked. She looked up at Gohan. 'This is definitely Fluttershy.' Gohan thought. "O-Oh! Uh... Hello..." Fluttershy said, looking down again. "I-I'm interested in this animal shelter." Gohan said, trying to make her feel better. "R-Really!?" Fluttershy asked, perking up. She stood up. Gohan was three quarters the size of Fluttershy. He had to look up at her. She gave him a paper about the animal shelter. "I-I'll see you there... What's your name?" Fluttershy asked. "Son Gohan. Just Gohan will be nice." Gohan said. "I-I'm Fluttershy. Thank you so much!" Fluttershy said, going away. 'Huh. So this is a humanized world?' Gohan thought. "GET INSIDE! ITS TIME FOR CLASS!" A student yelled. "Uh... Doh, whatever." Gohan said, running slowly to the school door. 'I can't forget what I have to do. Get Twilight's crown back.' He thought to himself. He entered the school to see... Well, a school. There were students everywhere. 'Hm... I saw a bacon-like pony on the other side, so I should look for that.' Gohan thought. All of the people looked similar to their pony counterparts! Gohan traversed the crowded hallways, struggling to hide his strength. By not knocking into people. The bell rang, and everyone went into their classes. Well, except for Gohan. He just stood in the empty halls. "I'd say that pony ran to this school..." Gohan said to himself. He sensed another presence approaching. So, he hid in the boys bathroom until it passed. Maybe the principal was passing by? As the person left, Gohan sighed. He left the bathroom and looked around. He saw the trophy case. But something, or someone caught his eye. It was Twilight. He noticed the dog, which looked like Spike, talking. "We need to get you a mirror." He said. Then Twilight noticed Gohan roaming the halls. "Gohan?" Twilight asked. Gohan rushed over to Twilight, who was by the door. She was also a fourth taller than Gohan. "Gohan? You're still regular?" Twilight asked. "Why are you a person all of a sudden?" Gohan asked. "I don't know! It's all so confusing!" Twilight said. "And Spike, you're a dog?" Gohan asked. "Yeah, its confusing!" Spike said. "I imagined you would be bigger than me." Twilight said, looking down at Gohan. "I'm only a kid. You're an adult, technically." Gohan said. "Yeah, okay." Twilight said. Then the bell rang. The hallway was filled with students yet again. (End of homeroom and now starting first period) "I'm really sorry, I just found it, and I thought I should give it to her!" Gohan and Twilight heard. It was Fluttershy. "Wait..." Gohan said. The three ran over to where Fluttershy were. "I didn't know you had dropped it..." Fluttershy said. "Well I did! And I was about to get it before you swooped in and ruined everything! You shouldn't pick up things that don't belong to you." Sunset Shimmer said, pointing at Fluttershy. "Hey!" Gohan called. Fluttershy was shocked to see Gohan. Sunset Shimmer turned around. "Oh, it's karate kid. What, are you going to protect her with your bad karate?" Sunset Shimmer mocked. "No, I was thinking you shouldn't pick on others." Gohan said. "Hah! This is hilarious. You're pathetic, you know that?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "Besides, what's... Uh... Bacon hair girl going to do? Weren't you the one who took the crown?" Gohan asked. "It's MY crown!" Sunset Shimmer said. "Um... Well, technically it isn't..." Fluttershy mumbled. Sunset Shimmer slammed her hands against the locker, trapping Fluttershy. "What did you say!?" Sunset Shimmer shouted. "Oh, um... Nevermind..." Fluttershy said. Gohan tapped on Sunset Shimmer's shoulder. "Seriously. You can't just prance around and talking like that." Gohan said. "Yeah! Be nice!" Twilight shouted. "You two must be new here. I can speak to anyone any way I want!" Sunset Shimmer said, walking away. "Is she some sort of spoiled kid?" Gohan asked. "I-I can't believe you did that!" Fluttershy said. "Did what?" Gohan asked. "Y-You stood up to Sunset Shimmer... Nobody does that!" Fluttershy said. "Sunset Shimmer?" Twilight asked. "Is that someone you know, Twilight?" Gohan asked. "Well, yes. Kind of." Twilight said. "Gohan? Are you two transfer students from another school?" Fluttershy asked. "Uh... Yes. We're from Orange Star High School." Gohan made up. "Yes... Anyway, I'm Twilight Sparkle." Twilight said. "I'm... Fluttershy." Fluttershy said inaudibly. "Sorry, what was that?" Twilight asked. "It's Fluttershy." Fluttershy said with a higher voice. "It sounds like you're saying Fluttershy? But how is that possible?" Twilight asked. "Y-You weren't this shy when we met?" Gohan asked. "Sorry!" Fluttershy said. Then Spike walked to beside Twilight. Fluttershy noticed, and immediately became excited. "Oh my goodness!" She exclaimed, rushing to hug Spike. "Who's this sweet little guy!?" She asked. "That's Spike! My... Dog!" Twilight said. "Oh, he's so cute!" Fluttershy said, holding Spike. She reached into her bag for a treat. "Come on, eat up little pup!" Fluttershy said. Spike took a small bite, but then swallowed it whole. "Oh, wouldn't you just give anything to know what they're really thinking?" Fluttershy asked. Twilight looked at Gohan. "You can read minds, right?" She whispered. "Only if I put my hand on their head." Gohan whispered. "Anyway, Sunset Shimmer said you picked a crown up?" Twilight asked. "How did you know?" Fluttershy asked. "I mean, we already told you we knew the existence of it." Gohan said. "Do you still have it?" Twilight asked. Fluttershy shook her head. "But you know what happened to it." Twilight asked. Fluttershy nodded. "This morning, I was passing out flyers for the animal shelter." Fluttershy said. *** Fluttershy was passing out flyers for the animal shelter. But, nobody cared to listen. She was also too quiet. A crown came out of nowhere, and Fluttershy gave it to Principal Celestia. She went back to trying to hand flyers out again, but then she gave up. Then Gohan appeared. *** "And that's how I know this little guy." Fluttershy said, pointing at Gohan. "Principal Celestia? She's the ruler here?" Twilight asked. "I... I guess you could say that. She and Vice Principal Luna do make the rules around here..." Fluttershy said. "So... The crown is with the principal?" Gohan asked. "Yes." Fluttershy said. "Where's her office?" Twilight asked. "Third door on the left." Fluttershy said. "Thanks, Fluttershy." Gohan said, walking away with Twilight. "Oh, by the way, you can't have pets on school grounds. It's best you tuck him into your backpack." Fluttershy said. So, Gohan stuffed Spike gently into Twilight's bag. "It's what I do." Fluttershy said, showing her bag full of animals. The bell rang. "Oh man, it's class. You're on your own Twilight." Fluttershy said. *** Twilight had met Principal Celestia. The bell rang. Twilight was going to run for Princess of the Fall Formal. She stepped out of the principal's office. "I'm going to run for Princess of the Fall Formal!" Twilight said. "What's the Fall Formal?" Gohan asked. "I... Have no clue. Actually, it's like the Gala." Twilight asked. "Why are you running for it?" Gohan asked. "It's the only way I can get my crown back." Twilight said. "Oh. Well, how can we apply?" Gohan asked. "I have no idea!" Twilight said triumphantly. The bell rang again, and it was lunchtime. *** "Oh no, we don't have money or food!" Gohan said. They were in the lunchroom. Or cafeteria. "Don't worry." Fluttershy said. "The food they serve here is free!" She added. "Oh, cool!" Gohan said. Twilight leaned into Gohan's ear. "But what if it's not enough?" She whispered. "I'll fast." Gohan whispered back. Gohan, Twilight and Fluttershy all got their trays of lunch. Twilight and Fluttershy got a veggie burger and a fruit bowl. Gohan got the same... Except he took two of each. "Are you sure you can eat all that?" Fluttershy asked. "It's not enough, bu- I mean, yes. I didn't eat breakfast." Gohan corrected. "I know we just met, but I need your help with something." Twilight said. "Sure." Fluttershy said. "I'm running for Princess of the Fall Formal." Twilight said. Fluttershy dropped her fruit bowl in surprise, and accidentally spilled some fruit and jello on Gohan. "Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry!" Fluttershy said, grabbing many napkins. "Oh no, don't worry, I can dry this myself." Gohan said. "Are you sure?" Fluttershy asked, holding the many napkins in her arms. "Uh... Yeah! Just..." Gohan said, placing his hand on the stain. He didn't show his ki, but his ki produced enough heat to dry. "There." Gohan said. Luckily, Fluttershy wasn't looking when she got another fruit bowl. "I'm sorry, but running for Princess is a really horrible idea!" Fluttershy said. "Why? Is Sunset Shimmer going to run?" Gohan joked. "Yes!" Fluttershy said. "Oh. I was joking there. You're serious?" Gohan asked. "Yes..." Fluttershy said. They got their apples for their trays from Granny Smith, and walked to a table. "Whenever Sunset Shimmer wants something, she gets it! Just ask the girl who ran against her in the Spring Fling!" Fluttershy said. "I have to try!" Twilight said. "I don't think you understand, you'd have to convince everyone here to vote for you instead of her!" Fluttershy said. "If she uses threats to get votes, then why don't we just threaten them?" Gohan joked. "B-But were're so small!" Fluttershy said. "It was a joke, sorry." Gohan said. "Oh, my bad." Fluttershy said. "Why is everybody separated into groups?" Gohan asked. "Maybe at your old school it was different, but at CHS, you stick to your own kind." Fluttershy said, sitting down. The others sat down as well. "Should I join the athletes or the nerds?" Gohan asked himself. It was pretty inaudible, but the other two heard it. He looked to the athletes then the nerds. "Do you do sports as well?" Fluttershy asked. "Do martial arts count?" Gohan asked. "Uh... I don't know." Fluttershy said. "One thing we all have in common is that Sunset Shimmer is going to rule this school until we graduate." Fluttershy said. "Not if I can help it!" Twilight said, biting into an apple without holding it. The other two looked at her funny. Twilight caught on, and held the apple in her hands to avoid embarrassment. Gohan ate his entire tray in five seconds. "That'll do for now." Gohan said to himself. Fluttershy was shocked to see Gohan just eat four bowls of food in an instant! "H-How did you...?" Fluttershy asked. "So, uh... Where can I find the head of the party planning committee?" Twilight asked. *** "Fluttershy said she'd probably be in here." Twilight said, walking into the gym. Gohan followed. The gym was decorated with all kind of balloons and party favors and whatnot. "I bet it's Pinkie. Someone's hiding." Gohan said. "INCOMING!" Pinkie Pie screamed, raining down tons of rolls of colored paper. The three were covered in them. Gohan used his ki to get them off. Twilight got it off herself. Pinkie Pie was still decorating. In fact, she somehow tore the fabric of a balloon off her shirt and it turned into a balloon. "Hi, I'm Twilight Sparkle and-" Twilight said before Pinkie Pie turned around while blowing said balloon. "Pinkie Pie?" Twilight asked. "Hah! I knew it!" Gohan said. Pinkie Pie stopped blowing into the balloon, and the air blew into her face. She immediately grabbed Twilight by her shirt. "ARE YOU PSYCHIC?" Pinkie Pie asked. "Uh, no. I don't think so. Unless that's something you can do here...?" Twilight asked. Pinkie Pie let go of Twilight's shirt. "Not usually." Pinkie Pie said before blowing a balloon again. 'This can't be Earth. Seriously, I don't think they exist on Earth.' Gohan thought. 'And I don't sense anyone familiar's ki.' Gohan thought. "Fluttershy said this is where I'd find the head of the Fall Formal planning committee." Twilight said. Pinkie Pie began to tie the balloon. "Fluttershy, huh? Don't let the whole shy thing fool you, she can be a real meanie!" She said. "Uh... I'm sure we can all be real meanies." Gohan said. "You two aren't friends?" Twilight asked. "So you want to get your name on the ballot, huh?" Pinkie Pie asked, ignoring Twilight's question. She inched herself closer. "The dance is day after tomorrow." Pinkie Pie said. "We're brand new here." Twilight said. "OOH! No wonder I couldn't recognize you! Now that I look at you... Do you have a twin sister who lives in the city? Who has a pet dog named Spike who looks just like that one?" Pinkie Pie asked. "Uh... Maybe?" Twilight asked. "And you!" Pinkie Pie said, pointing at Gohan. "... I got nothing." She said. "Anyhoo, you just need to fill this out!" Pinkie Pie said, pulling a checklist from her poofy hair. "And then you're officially up for the Fall Formal crown!" Pinkie Pie said, pulling a pen from her hair too. Twilight took the pen and put it in her mouth? "Do you know how to write?" Gohan asked. Twilight held the pen. "No." she whispered. "I'll sign her up." Gohan said, taking the pen. He wrote Twilight Sparkle for number two. Just below Sunset Shimmer. Then, the door barged open. "Did somebody order a case of fizzy apple cider?" Applejack asked. 'This is an alternate universe for sure.' Gohan thought. "OOH! OOH! Me! I did!" Pinkie Pie said, running to Applejack. Applejack placed the case of apple ciders on a table. "Can you bring in the rest?" Applejack asked. Then Big Macintosh came in carrying four cases of the drinks. "Eeyup." He said. It did make them sweat. Gohan walked over to Big Macintosh. "I'll take those." He said. "No, I won't do that to you." Big Macintosh said, walking away. Then Gohan looked sad because he wanted to try. But he instantly perked up. Applejack took a case of the fizzy drinks and placed it on another table. She looked at Twilight. "Hey, I know you! You're the new girl! And the new boy!" Applejack said. "You gave Sunset Shimmer that what-for today!" Applejack said, opening a bottle of apple cider with her teeth then drinking it. "Twilight Sparkle here is going to run for Princess of the Fall Formal!" Pinkie Pie said. Applejack spit her drink out. "I'd think twice about that. Oh, sure, she'll approach you all friendlylike." Applejack said, pulling Pinkie Pie down from above. She took two balloons and wrote Twilight's and Sunset Shimmer's faces on them. She mimicked the Sunset Shimmer balloon, which was red and heart shaped. "I do hope for a friendly competition!" She mimicked. Then she mimicked the Twilight balloon, which was oval and yellow. "Yeah." She mimicked. "And then, here comes the backstabbing." Applejack said, putting a needle behind the Sunset Shimmer balloon and stabbing the Twilight balloon with it. "The only other student you can trust less in this school is Rainbow Dash." Applejack said. "Rainbow Dash?" Twilight asked. "She's like, the captain of every team in Canterlot High." Pinkie Pie said, bouncing around on a balloon. "She's also the captain of saying she'll do something for ya, and turn around and not even bother to show up!" Applejack said, crossing her arms. "Thanks for the advice, Applejack. But this is something I really need to do." Twilight said. "How'd you know my name was Applejack?" Applejack asked. "Uh... Didn't you say?" Twilight said nervously. "She got the class list from the principal, and since you seem to have a thing for apples, she must have assumed your name was Applejack." Gohan said. "Uh... Okay, I guess that makes sense." Applejack said. "Well it was nice meeting you both! I'll hope to see you around!" Twilight said, galloping away. "Uh... We need to ask... And she's already gone." Gohan said. Then the door burst open. "This looks terrible!" Sunset Shimmer shouted. She came with Snips and Snails. Gohan face palmed seeing her again. "There should be more streamers near the stage and fewer balloons!" Sunset Shimmer said, popping two balloons. "Yeah! Streamers!" Snips said, ripping a streamer in half. "Yeah! And fewer balloons!" Snails said, trying to pop a balloon, but to no avail. "And fizzy apple cider!? UGH! This is my coronation! Not a hoe down!" Sunset Shimmer said. Applejack was about to respond, but Gohan beat her to it. "Sunset Shimmer, this Fall Formal isn't made just for you." Gohan defended. "Oh, it's karate kid again." Sunset Shimmer said. "Yeah, and the name's literal translation is rice! Now get out of here before rice teaches you a lesson in terrible karate!" Gohan joked, getting into a goofy pose. It's one of the Great Saiyaman poses where he stands on one foot and holds up two peace signs. Everyone just looked at him. "What? I wasn't lying." Gohan said. "Uh... What?" Pinkie Pie asked. "Wait, someone confused Pinkie? That's a first." Applejack said. "Okay, but seriously, Sunset Shimmer, just get out of here." Gohan said, doing the 'shoo' gesture. "What did you say!?" Sunset Shimmer said, inching closer to Gohan. "I said get out. This thing is run for and by the school, not for you." Gohan said. "Well! A brute isn't the most brightest now, huh!?" Sunset Shimmer mocked. Gohan remained unimpressed. "Obviously it's going to be MY coronation, I'm running unopposed." Sunset Shimmer said. "Uh... No?" Gohan asked. "No, the new girl just signed up!" Pinkie Pie said, flashing the paper. "What!?" Sunset Shimmer asked, taking the paper. "Where is this Twilight Sparkle?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "You aren't going to hurt her." Gohan said sternly. "And what are you going to do, 'protect' her?" Sunset Shimmer said. "I don't know, I guess?" Gohan asked. "Whatever." Sunset Shimmer said, walking away with her goons. Gohan walked in the direction of Twilight. *** "Twilight, she's after you." Gohan said. They were in the dark parts of the hall. "Aaaand she followed me." Gohan said, turning around. "H-How did you even notice me?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "I'm a psychic, that's why. Now, can't you just leave?" Gohan asked. "No. I'm not surprised Princess Celestia sent her student here to come after my crown." Sunset Shimmer said. Twilight was shocked to hear this. "It's not yours!" Gohan said. "Yeah, it's MY crown!" Twilight said. "Whatever. This is just a minor setback for me." Sunset Shimmer said, walking around the two. "You don't know the first thing about this place, and I already rule it." She said. "If that's the case, why do you even need my crown? You went through an awful lot of trouble to switch it with the one that belongs here." Twilight asked. "Pop quiz. What happens when you bring an Element of Harmony when you bring it to an alternate world?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "Uh... It gives you power?" Gohan asked. "Uh... Okay, you might have guessed part of it. But you two don't know the first thing about fitting in." Sunset Shimmer said, walking away. "This is not good." Gohan said. *** "LIBRARY!" Gohan shouted. "Library!?" Twilight asked. "Library." Gohan said, pointing at the library. "And computers, too." He added. They sat down at one. Twilight tried to use the computer, and looked like a fool doing so. Snips and Snails were lurking around. Gohan thought of them as just regular people. "Okay, so let's look up this school." Gohan said, typing into the browser. Then, loud music could be heard from another computer. Cheerilee, the librarian, unplugged the speaker. "School purposes only! This? Just, no. No!" Cheerilee said, walking away. "Aw!" The three students said. "Are they the Crusaders?" Gohan whispered to Twilight. "Sounded like it..." Twilight said. "All these comments are mean! They said we're funny!" Sweetie Belle said. "Funny, huh?" Scootaloo asked. Then the three had an epiphany. "We're funny!" The Crusaders said. "Um, I don't think that's-" Twilight said, but the trio already left the library. Gohan looked up Canterlot High School, and couldn't find anything about Sunset Shimmer's previous victories at the Fall Formal. Or Spring Fling. Other than the fact she won. He searched all over the web while Twilight searched the library for books. *** "I hadn't thought about where we're going to sleep!" Twilight said. "I don't know... Uh... Sleep in the library?" Gohan asked. "That gives me an idea!" Spike said, walking away. *** Spike made two book beds for Twilight and Gohan. "Nobody comes up here, so I thought it could work!" Spike said. "Thanks, Spike. Now it's time for a long sleep despite no dinner nighttime." Gohan said, immediately crashing on his bed. *** "Fluttershy said I had to convince all the groups to vote for me, so I wrote some talking points." Twilight said. "I don't think these notes will help all too well. The best you should do is just don't talk to anyone unless they talk to you." Gohan said. "Why?" Twilight asked. "You'll probably forget, or whatever. Be too shy, anything." Gohan said. "Good point." Twilight said. "It's just like when you were in school, Twilight." Gohan said. "Just be casual." He said. "Okay, casual. Let's go." Twilight said, opening the library doors. Spike was in her bag. As they traversed the halls, the other students started to laugh at her. The three were confused. "Why is everyone looking at me funny?" Twilight said, before a random hand grabbed her into another room. "Twilight!" Gohan said, rushing in after her. Inside the room, there was Rarity. Rarity already began taking Twilight's measurements. She went into her bag and grabbed a green dress and a blond wig. "Perfect!" She said. She put them on Twilight. "W-What are you doing, Rarity?" Gohan asked. "I'm trying to help her! Nobody will recognize her!" Rarity said, not realizing Gohan's slip up. "Why wouldn't... Huh?" Gohan and Twilight asked. Then Applejack came in. "Well there you are, Twilight!" Applejack said. "So much for the disguise." Rarity said, crossing her arms. "I've been looking for you!" Applejack said. "Me too." Fluttershy said. "Me three!" Pinkie Pie said, inspecting the disguise. "I like your new look!" She added. "I do have an eye for these things, not that you seem to care." Rarity said. "WHAT!?" Pinkie Pie said. "Why do you mean she doesn't care?" Twilight asked. Applejack was signaling a 'NO!' And Fluttershy covered her face in fear. Pinkie Pie seemingly steamed. "N-Nevermind." Twilight said. "Why does she need this outfit?" Gohan asked. "What's going on?" Twilight asked. "S-She hasn't seen it yet..." Fluttershy said. "Seen what?" Gohan and Twilight asked. Pinkie Pie opened her computer. She pressed play. "Oh, it's really not that bad." Pinkie Pie reassured. After watching a 'documentary' on Twilight's odd behavior by Sunset Shimmer, Gohan was steaming. "I take that back. It's pretty bad." Pinkie Pie said. "This makes me want to blast her into oblivion!" Gohan said, trying to stop his anger. "Calm down, Gohan." Twilight said. "Sorry." He said. "Anyhow, is this why everyone was looking at me weirdly!?" Twilight asked. The four other girls nodded in response. "What am I going to do!? Nobody will vote for me after this!" Twilight said. "Not that it'll make any difference, but I'll vote for you." Fluttershy said. Twilight slammed her face into the desk. "You two were so nice to me after Sunset Shimmer was picking on me yesterday." Fluttershy said. "If you still want to run, maybe I can help!" Pinkie Pie said. Fluttershy leaned into Twilight's ear. "Don't take her advice. She never takes things seriously!" She whispered. "Uh! Why do you have to be so awful to me?" Pinkie Pie said, stomping her foot. "Oh- K- Pu- Ch- Don't play innocent Pinkie Pie!" Rarity said, pointing at Pinkie Pie. "You are no better than she is!" She added, pointing at Fluttershy. "Guys..." Gohan said. "AND what is that supposed to mean!?" Pinkie Pie retorted, grabbing Rarity's arms. "Guys." Gohan said. "I am happy to offer my assistance as well, to someone who would APPRECIATE what I have to OFFER!" Rarity retorted. Then three started arguing. "Look at you! Just get over it and move on!" Applejack said, dropping a finished apple into the trash. "You mean like how YOU got over what happened with Rainbow Dash!?" Rarity retorted. "She said she'd get the softball team to make an appearance at my bake sale. I tell everyone that they're coming, and not one of them shows up! She made a liar out of me! It's different." Applejack retorted. "Guys." Gohan said more sternly. Twilight slammed her head against the desk again. "IS NOT." The three other arguers said. "IS TOO!" Applejack retorted. Now Applejack joined the craze. Gohan just had enough of it. Gohan flew up so that he was face to face with everyone as they argued. Gohan just yelled: "AAAAAHHHHH!" Everyone looked at him. "Thank you." Gohan said. "Weren't you smaller a moment- Uh.... How- How are you flying?" Applejack asked. Gohan looked down to his feet and noticed he was actually flying. He had to think of something. Something that he could use to hide his abilities. He got it! He looked up at nothing. "Someone put a small rope on me!" He said, biting down on nothing. Then he stood on the ground again. "There we go." He said. "Anyway, what do YOU have to add to this, boy!?" Rarity asked. "This pointless arguing isn't helping Twilight!" Gohan said. "Yes. I need to show you all something." Twilight said, reaching into her bag for the yearbook she got in the library. "You guys were friends!" She said, opening the page to the Freshmen Fair. "But something happened. I think that something was Sunset Shimmer." Twilight finished. "That's a nice theory, darling. But Sunset Shimmer had nothing to do with it." Rarity said. "But she's known for ruining people, like she did to Twilight in that video. Unless something different happened, where it wasn't a rumor or any lies being spread." Gohan said. "That... That still doesn't add up!" Fluttershy said. "Pinkie Pie personally ruined my Silent Auction for the Animal Shelter with fireworks and noisemakers!" She added. "What!? I got a text from you saying you didn't want a silent auction, and a big party instead!" Pinkie Pie said, holding out her phone as evidence. "Aha! That's our first clue!" Gohan said. "In what regards?" Fluttershy asked. "Did you ever send that text, Fluttershy?" Twilight asked. "No, I didn't." Fluttershy said. "And who could have been responsible?" Twilight asked. "T-That's an amazing theory, darling. However, we can't tell if Fluttershy is lying!" Rarity said. Gohan was about to prove her wrong, but didn't want to slip up again. Twilight took the reigns from there. "But what about Applejack's problem with Rainbow Dash? Did Rainbow Dash text you that? Or did you hear her say it in person?" Twilight asked Applejack. "She did text me it..." Applejack said. "That can't be a coincidence." Gohan stated. "Did you talk to her at all after the incident?" Twilight asked. "I... I guess I just stopped talking to her after that." Applejack said, in embarrassment. She even took her hat off. "Maybe we should go talk to her about her point of view." Gohan said. *** Rainbow Dash was out on the soccer field, practicing her shots. Applejack confronted her, but then it turned into an argument. "They're actually talking!" Rarity noted. They were on the benches. Gohan face palmed. Applejack just started yelling! He decided to take matters into his own hands. Gohan walked up to the two fighters. "STOP. Just stop!" Gohan shouted. "Shut it, we are having an argument!" Rainbow Dash said. "And this is why you two aren't getting along!" Gohan said. "She won't cough up her side of the story!" Applejack said. "Only because you randomly ignored me!" Rainbow Dash retorted. "STOP! Okay, what will it take for you to cough it up?" "If one of you beats me in soccer." Rainbow Dash said. She assumed it was an easy win for her. But not Gohan. "I will." He said sternly. "Do you WANT to lose?" Rainbow Dash laughed. "Do you?" Gohan asked. "I NEVER lose." Rainbow Dash said. "Why don't we test that theory, huh?" Gohan asked. "Fine. Best of five." Rainbow Dash said. "Deal." Gohan said. Rainbow Dash placed a soccer ball in the middle of the field. Applejack walked back to the bench. "That boy doesn't know what he's getting into." She said. "What are those two doing?" Rarity asked. "He's gonna play Rainbow in a soccer match!" Applejack said. "He's what?" Pinkie Pie asked. "Why?" Twilight asked. "She won't talk. She said she would if one of us beat her in a soccer game." Applejack said. "He can't beat Dash..." Fluttershy said. Twilight smirked after that. "Oh, I just think he will." She said. Gohan and Rainbow Dash were on opposite sides of the field. "Don't cry when you lose." Rainbow Dash mocked. "Don't worry. I'm fine with a loss." Gohan said. Then, the soccer game began. Rainbow Dash took the ball instantly, running after Gohan's goal. She kicked the ball towards the goal. Gohan used his quick speed to seemingly appear next to the ball and kick it. He did it as lightly as he could. It flew halfway across the field. "You're not bad!" Rainbow Dash said, taking the ball with her feet. Gohan slowly ran up to her. "Can you see through THIS?" Rainbow Dash asked, moving the ball all around her feet. It was a small illusion. While her feet were swift, the ball barely moved. It seemed it was, though. Gohan made a swift kick at the right point, kicking the ball into Rainbow Dash's goal. "W-What!? Nobody can see through that!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed. "H-He got a goal after seeing through her after images!?" Pinkie Pie asked in shock. "W-What in tarnation?" Applejack asked. Everyone but Twilight and Spike were shocked. "We're still not done!" Rainbow Dash said, placing the ball in the middle of the field again. "Of course not." Gohan said. Rainbow Dash took the ball again and tried to confuse Gohan in another way. She kicked the ball up in the air, preventing it from being able to reach Gohan's feet. "Hey! That's not fair!" Pinkie Pie said. "Don't worry, Pinkie. Just you see." Twilight reassured. "See? I see Rainbow Dash acting like a snake!" Applejack said. "You can't get the ball now!" Rainbow Dash said with a smirk. Gohan only smiled. He jumped up and kicked the ball to hit it into the goal again. "W-What the heck!? How did you jump that high!?" Rainbow Dash asked, completely dumbfounded. "It's called jumping." Gohan stated. "That's it, no more nice Dash!" Rainbow Dash said. She put the ball in the center again. This time, she only shot it as fast as she could. It even combusted. Gohan was pleasantly surprised by Rainbow Dash's ability, but had to act quick. He couldn't touch the ball with his hands, so he did something extraordinary. Well, according to the spectators. Rainbow Dash had an early victory. "Yes! Goal!" She said triumphantly. But, she didn't score the goal. In fact, the soccer ball was not in the goal. It was being held up in the air by two feet. Gohan performed a handstand and caught the ball with his feet before it went into the goal. His back was facing Rainbow Dash. "W-WHAT!?" Pinkie Pie exclaimed. Even Twilight was surprised. She never saw him do that! "T-That's not real!" Fluttershy said. "H-How in tarnation did he catch the ball WITH HIS FEET!?" Applejack asked. "HOW!?" Rainbow Dash asked, dumbfounded. "I'm surprised. Making the ball combust was amazing!" Gohan said, standing up again. "But I'm going to take the game now." He added, kicking the ball into Rainbow Dash's goal. Rainbow Dash was too surprised and confused to react to the ball. "N-No..." Applejack said. "No... Freaking... Way..." Pinkie Pie said. "T-This boy has more than I thought!" Rarity said. "B... But Rainbow is the best..." Fluttershy mumbled. Rainbow Dash fell to her knees in defeat. She... Lost? For the first time ever, she lost a game. A 1-on-1! She never had a chance at losing those! Gohan walked over to the distraught Rainbow Dash. "I'm very surprised. You have some serious strength! Good game, Rainbow." Gohan said, holding his hand out to help her up. Rainbow Dash was still too caught up in her pride. "How... How could I...?" She kept repeating. "Rainbow? Are you alright?" Gohan asked. "I think Dashie just broke." Pinkie Pie said. "Now this is a first!" Applejack said. "Rainbow Dash. Don't beat yourself up." Gohan said, forcefully putting Rainbow Dash on her feet. Rainbow Dash looked down in fear at the younger child WHO BEAT HER! "You'll beat me one day. I promise you." Gohan said. Rainbow Dash still had feelings of doubt, but she then calmed down. "You're really amazing." Rainbow Dash complimented with a smile. "Thanks for the compliment..." Gohan said, scratching the back of his head and blushing slightly. He actually expected a worse breakdown. Maybe in the equine world. "I guess I need to cough up my side of the story, huh?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Yes." Gohan said. *** "So... You were told the bake sale was on a different day, huh?" Applejack asked. "Yeah. I even showed up on that different day, with the softball team." Rainbow Dash said. "I think we can all guess who did do this..." Applejack said. "There's no doubt that it's Sunset Shimmer." Twilight said. "Anyway, you're looking to dethrone Sunset Shimmer and become Princess of the Fall Formal?" Rainbow Dash asked, pointing at Twilight. Twilight nodded. "I gotta say, I'd love to see that happen! I'll totally help you out!" Rainbow Dash said. Everyone perked up. "All you need to do, is beat me at a game of soccer." Rainbow Dash said, pointing at Twilight. "Uh..." Twilight said. Rainbow Dash began to kick the ball repeatedly in the air. "Ok." She finally said. "Alright! First to five points wins!" Rainbow Dash said, kicking the ball into a goal. "That's one." She added. Gohan hoped Twilight could pull a miracle. *** It was 4-0, and Twilight couldn't do anything. Gohan really questioned Rainbow Dash's help. So, he decided to help Twilight himself. Twilight had the ball, and attempted to kick the ball. She slipped. Gohan used his telekinesis to make it seem like it was hit heavily. It even curved around. Rainbow Dash was so confused by the weird occurrence that she didn't react to the goal. "Huh. That's a weird kind of kick..." Rainbow Dash noted. "She got a goal!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed. "Nice job." Rainbow Dash said. Twilight was panting on the ground. "You alright?" Rainbow Dash asked. "I don't know how much longer I can go..." Twilight said. "You know what? Game's over. We both know the outcome won't be in your favor." Rainbow Dash said. "Are... Are you serious?" Twilight asked. "Yeah." Rainbow Dash said, helping Twilight stand up. 'This Rainbow Dash is a lot less prideful than I thought.' Gohan thought. The others walked over to the duelists. "So? Why'd you stop?" Pinkie Pie asked. "She's too winded to go on. I wouldn't do that to her." Rainbow Dash said. "So... It's a draw?" Applejack asked. "Even though my awesomeness overpowered her, I'll call it a draw." Rainbow Dash said. "So, you'll help us?" Gohan asked. "Yep!" Rainbow Dash said. "But... I didn't win!" Twilight said. "Of course you didn't. I'm awesome! But I believe the Fall Formal Princess should have heart and determination. You have those qualities." Rainbow Dash said. "Thanks!" Twilight said. "No problem!" Rainbow Dash said. "I still can't get over the fact that he beat you, Rainbow Dash." Rarity said. "Yeah... How did you even move around that fast?" Rainbow Dash asked. "You didn't see me too well." Gohan lied. "Maybe because you're really small?" Rainbow Dash asked. Gohan laughed. "Yes." He chuckled. "And you caught my flaming kick with your feet while doing a handstand!" Rainbow Dash said. "I exercise a lot." Gohan said. "I wonder how everyone will react to your victory over me." Rainbow Dash said. "C-Can we keep it a secret?" Gohan asked. "Yeah sur- Wait, what?" Rainbow Dash asked. "I'm also confused." Pinkie Pie said. "I don't want to ruin your already perfect reputation for being awesome." Gohan said. "Tch! Thanks!" Rainbow Dash said. "That's very nice of you." Fluttershy said. Gohan laughed sheepishly. "Anyway... What's the plan? How can we get you to win instead of Sunset Shimmer?" Rainbow Dash asked. Then Gohan's stomach rumbled. "Uh..." He said. Twilight knew Gohan didn't eat anything for dinner. He barely ate lunch. "Do any of you know where I can eat a ton of food that I shouldn't be able to eat but somehow I can?" Gohan asked. "Uh... What?" Everyone except Twilight asked. Little did any of them know, Sunset Shimmer was lurking around. She, Snips, and Snails gathered photos and videos of Twilight. *** Now, school ended. The seven friends were all at Sugarcube Corner. Everyone but Gohan got soft drinks and sweets and whatnot. He only got water. But it was constant refills. After Twilight bumped into some boy she met earlier AGAIN, Twilight somehow alleviated it by moving away in time. She kinda liked him. They were shy around each other, though. So the seven were lounging now. Rarity knew what Twilight was doing. "Don't even try it. Sunset Shimmer will kill you if she finds out you're with her ex boyfriend." Rarity stated. "I don't know, we keep bumping into each other, and- Ex Boyfriend?" Twilight asked. "Flash Sentry broke up with her a few weeks ago. I can't believe she hasn't done something awful to him yet." Fluttershy said. The person known as Flash Sentry walked away with a drink, and he smiled at Twilight. "Maybe she's waiting until she has the power to do something REALLY awful." Twilight said. "Okay, planning time. Who has ideas to get Twilight to win?" Gohan asked. "We need to get everyone to see her differently than that video." Applejack said. "Yes... But how?" Gohan asked. After some thinking... "I'VE GOT IT!" Rarity screamed. Everyone in the store looked at her. She realized her slip up. "Ahem... I may have the solution. This may be a dumb idea, buuut... What if we wore these as a sign of unity?" Rarity asked, pulling a fake tail and pony ears from her bag. "Uh... Huh?" Gohan asked. "They were very, very popular in freshmen year." Rarity said, putting them on. "This is a good way for everyone to show their school spirit! You know, Go! Canterlot Wondercolts!" Rarity said, jumping. "Ahem. Even though the seven of us are very different, we're all Canterlot Wondercolts deep down!" Rarity said, giving everyone a fake pony ears and tail. Even Gohan wore it. "Hey Twilight, this is the closest you'll get to see me as a pony." Gohan whispered. Twilight giggled internally. "Sunset Shimmer is the one who divided us, and Twilight Sparkle and... I'm sorry, I never caught your name." Rarity said. "Gohan." Gohan said. "Oh." Some of them said. "Yes, anyway. Twilight and Gohan united us! We need to let everyone know it!" Rarity said, placing a fake pair of pony stuff on Twilight. "What do you think?" Rarity asked. Everyone else nodded or gave a thumbs up. Then Gohan's stomach rumbled again. It was very loud. His group of friends looked at him. "I need to eat, seriously." Gohan said. *** Everyone looked in awe as Gohan was still eating, and eating, and eating. The group of friends were now at Sweet Apple Acres. Gohan ate continuous amounts of rice and apples. "This kid's just full of surprises, ain't he?" Applejack asked. "I wonder if his father eats like this..." Rarity asked. Gohan stopped eating for a moment, and swallowed. "To answer your question, yes, Rarity." Gohan said. "That's hilarious!" Pinkie Pie said. "I suppose you attained his... Stomach." Rarity said. *** It was tomorrow. It was also lunchtime. Everyone was eating. Each of the Equestria Girls Mane 6 and also Gohan wore their Canterlot sweaters. Even the fake pony parts. Gohan sat alone in a corner while everyone else in the plan sat at their designated groups. Pinkie Pie started to tap her lunch tray against a table. It provided a beat. Rarity joined in the same rhythm with her feet. *Bam!*... *BamBam!* Then she started to clap. Fluttershy began to tap or slam, pick your choice, two glass cups against the table. People started to notice the small music being played. Applejack joined in with the clapping, and also slammed her hands against the table with the beat. Rainbow Dash joined in with a tray of her own. Spike, hiding in Twilight's bag, pressed a button on a speaker. It recreated that rhythm, so that the others didn't have to keep slamming. Then, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie and Applejack began to skip across the room. As they skipped, they sang! The Cafeteria Song. Gohan refused to dance because stomping his 'hoof' would result in a possible cracked floor. His boots were heavy, after all. And he did not want to get in trouble for that. He did clap and sing along, though. The song was a success, everyone was going to vote for Twilight! Everyone started to wear the fake pony parts too! The seven were walking across the hall. "Doesn't it look just fabulous?" Rarity asked. "It was a great idea, Rarity!" Twilight said. Then Applejack noticed something. Sunset Shimmer, oh boy. "Don't know what she's smiling about." Applejack noted. She and her two goons had smirks as they walked across the hall. "Twilight's the one who's gonna be princess of the Fall Formal!" She added. Sunset Shimmer knocked on Vice Principal Luna's door. As the Vice Principal opened it, Sunset Shimmer put on an act! "Oh, Vice Principal Luna, something terrible has happened!" She said. *** The gym was wrecked! All of Pinkie Pie's work was RUINED! "Isn't this just awful!? And after Pinkie Pie tried SO hard to make everything perfect! Why would Twilight Sparkle do something like this!?" Sunset Shimmer asked, actually deceiving the Vice Principal. "Why would you think Twilight was responsible for something like this?" Luna asked. "Because I have proof!" Sunset Shimmer said, showing Luna a file of photos. Little did they know, somebody was spying on them. Flash Sentry was. He was determined to prove Twilight innocent! *** Gohan was outside Vice Principal Luna's office, hating himself. "I should have known! She'd come up with fake evidence and get Twilight banned from the election!" Gohan muttered. He couldn't help but hang his head low in defeat. Sunset Shimmer had done it. Vice Principal Luna was going into Twilight about the issue. "The school cannot let someone run for Princess of the Fall Formal after they did something as horrific as this." Luna said. Gohan heard all of it. He couldn't help but feel immensely guilty! He noticed Flash Sentry approaching the office. Holding some photos in his hands. 'I hope it's evidence for Twilight's innocence.' Gohan thought. He entered the office, instantly stating: "Vice Principal Luna. I've found these in the trash can of the library." He gave the photographs to Vice Principal Luna. They were the REAL photographs of what Twilight had done, and her body was cut out of them. "I thought you should see them." He added. "I appreciate you bringing this to me, Flash. Light of this new evidence will allow you to run for Princess." Luna said. Gohan was shocked and happy to hear these news! 'She's in!' He mentally screamed. Twilight hugged Flash Sentry instantly. "Thank you so much! You don't know how much this means to me!" Twilight said, before realizing she hugged him. "What was I gonna do? Not prove your innocence? Wouldn't be much of a Canterlot Wondercolt, would I?" Flash Sentry asked. "However, the damages to the gym have been made. We will have to postpone the ceremony to tomorrow night." Luna said. "Now, I must tell my sister about this." Luna said, leaving her office. "So, uh... I was wondering, if you weren't already going with someone, want to go to the Fall Formal with me tomorrow night?" Flash Sentry asked. "I would l- Wait, TOMORROW? No, nononono!" Twilight said, grabbing her bag and rushing out of the office. Flash stepped out too. "One no would have been fine!" He said, walking away in defeat. "Wait." Gohan said. Flash turned around. "Yeah?" He asked. "Thanks." Gohan said. "No problem." He said, walking away. Gohan started to walk towards Twilight. But, she had ran to Rarity's Boutique. *** Twilight rushed into a changing room. "Everything okay in there?" Rarity asked. "Yes!" Twilight said. "Except it's not alright. If I don't get my crown tonight, I won't go back to Equestria for another thirty moons!" Twilight whispered. Gohan came in through the door next. "Twilight, are you alright?" Gohan asked. "Yes!" Twilight said. "Phew, that's good." Gohan said. Everyone else was changing for the Fall Formal. "What are we going to do?" Twilight asked Spike. "Hm... Let them know the truth. There's no other way we can get the crown tonight." Spike said. "But what if they don't help? What if they found out how different I really am?" Twilight asked. "Twilight, these girls rallied around you because of what they saw in your heart! You even have Gohan by your side! And he's a warrior!" Spike reassured. "They aren't going to think anything less of you when they find out you're a pony princess in Equestria." Spike said. "I'm glad you followed me here, Spike." Twilight said. "Me too. But of course, we're stuck here for another thirty moons. We didn't even tell Gohan about Sunset Shimmer and how the portal closes." Spike said. "Let's just tell them the truth." Twilight said. She opened the curtains. "The Fall Formal isn't happening tonight." She said. "WHAT!?" Pinkie Pie screamed. "It had to be postponed because Sunset Shimmer had Snips and Snails wreck Pinkie Pie's decorations." Twilight said. "WHAT!?" Pinkie Pie asked. "But the Fall Formal HAS to happen tonight!" Twilight said. Pinkie Pie was about to scream what again, but Applejack covered her mouth. "You see..." Twilight said. "You're from an alternate world where you're a princess there and the crown actually belongs to you that has a magical element embedded in it that powers other magical elements and without it they don't work more and you need them to help your magical world and if you don't get the crown tonight, you'll be stuck here and you won't be able to get back for a really really long time!" Pinkie Pie sputtered. Everyone looked at Pinkie Pie in surprise. She still didn't explain Gohan, though. "Yeah, I'm pretty sure that isn't the reason." Rainbow Dash said. "Nope, she's pretty much spot on." Spike said. Now everyone was shocked that Spike was talking! "HE CAN TALK!?" Rarity asked. "Oh yeah! And back from where I'm from, I'm not even a dog! I'm a ferocious fire breathing dragon!" Spike bragged. Fluttershy came up instantly. "This is SO AMAZING! Tell me, WHAT ARE YOU THINKING RIGHT NOW?" She asked, being face to face with Spike and having the biggest smile in the world. "I'd like a scratch behind the old ears." Spike said. "How did you know all that!?" Twilight asked. "Just a hunch." Pinkie Pie said. "Now hold on a minute. You're a pony?" Applejack asked. "You're a princess?" Rarity asked. "You're from another world!?" Fluttershy asked. Twilight nodded. "That. Is. AWESOME!" Rainbow Dash said, getting everyone but Gohan in a group hug. "See, told ya." Spike said. The hug broke. "So... What about Gohan? Is he a pony prince or something?" Applejack asked. "I have no idea." Pinkie Pie said. "Should I tell them?" Gohan asked Twilight. "I don't see why not." Twilight said. "I'm not a pony in her world. In fact, I remain this way, as a human/Saiyan hybrid." Gohan said, referring to his body. "Saiyan? What race is that?" Fluttershy asked. "It's too long to explain. It's an alien race." Gohan said. "Uh... Okay, so you're a half alien?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Yes." Gohan said. "That's cool!" Rainbow Dash said. "So, is there anything else interesting about you?" Applejack asked. "Well... I'm a warrior." Gohan said. "A warrior? But you're only a kid!" Rainbow Dash said. "Then how does that explain this?" Gohan asked, flying. Everyone looked in shock. He was flying again! "Wait... So y-you... Can fly? What!?" Fluttershy asked. "It's not an alien power, I have to clarify that. That's not all, too." He said. Gohan stood on the ground again. "I can do stuff like this." Gohan said, holding a ki blast out. It wasn't going to hurt anyone. "Cool!" Rainbow Dash said. He controlled it, moving it around with his hands. Pinkie Pie started to chase the ball. Gohan absorbed the ki blast again. Before Pinkie Pie got hurt. "He's saved my world from destruction many times." Twilight said. "So... He's a superhero?" Applejack asked. "It explains my win over Rainbow Dash. I'm super fast and can lift a lot of things up. And also punch through them..." Gohan said. "So... what else can you do?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Uh... Here, try and hold this." Gohan said, taking off his weighted shirt and placing it on the ground gently. Rainbow Dash tried holding the heavy cloth. She managed to hold it in her elbows. "Argh! H-How do you move around in this! This is like a million tons!" Rainbow Dash exaggerated. "One hundred kilograms to be exact. My boots and one hundred and fifty each, and my wristbands are fifteen each." Gohan said, taking the shirt again. "That's so cool!" Pinkie Pie said. "Anything else you can surprise us with?" Applejack asked. "Uh... Sure." Gohan said, seemingly teleporting. "Where'd he go?" Rainbow Dash asked. Everyone was looking around the one spot for where he went. "I'm right here." Gohan said, behind everyone. "Wow, I couldn't figure it out." Twilight said. "Uh... Anything else?" Rainbow Dash asked. "You know what? Let's save it for another time. We need to get the Fall Formal running tonight!" Gohan said. *** "I simply can't believe they did all this!" Rarity said. They were now in the gym, which was wrecked. "If only I had some sort of party Cannon that would decorate all this for me!" Pinkie Pie said. "Don't worry, we can fix this up." Gohan said. "Yeah, it seems impossible, but if we work together..." Twilight said. "Now that's the spirit I want to see!" Applejack exclaimed. "Let's do it y'all!" Applejack said, holding her hand out. "Absolutely!" Rarity said, placing her hand on top of Applejack's. "Rock on!" Rainbow Dash said, placing her hand on the pile. "Yes indeedily!" Pinkie Pie said, placing her hand on the pile. "Yay!" Fluttershy said, placing her hand on the pile. "Let's go!" Gohan said, placing his hand on the pile. Twilight joined in, and they all jumped. Now they were going to clean up. Twilight grabbed many brooms, handing them to each of her friends. Rainbow Dash showed her moves off with it, while the rest caught it. Because of Rainbow Dash's request, Gohan performed for her. He spun the broom at lightning speeds and moved around with it too. Now that ended. Everyone was cleaning the floor. Gohan did the most work, as his superior speed trumped everyone else's. Now there was a huge pile of garbage. "I got this." Gohan said, blasting the trash. It exploded without a trace. "Awesome!" Rainbow Dash said. Now, other students were walking by and noticed Twilight attempting to lift a broken table. Two boys came into the gym and took the table on their own. But then they were shocked to see Applejack lift one and walk casually. THEN they saw Gohan lift five of the tables with one finger and walking casually. Now they were throwing streamers. Other students noticed, and joined in on the cleaning fun! Now everyone in the school was helping them set up for the Fall Formal tonight! They set up the stage, they set up the music, the food, the games, everything! Twilight and Flash Sentry had another interaction in the process. After the ceremony was almost finished being prepared, the six friends all got in a group hug. "Gohan, get in here!" Applejack said. Gohan joined in on the group hug, despite being smaller. "THIS... LOOKS... SO... GOOD!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed. "We did amazing." Gohan said. Now Principal Celestia was clapping. "Alright everyone! The Fall Formal is back on this evening!" Celestia said. Everyone cheered. "So you better get out of here and start getting ready. And don't forget to cast your ballots for Fall Formal Princess!" Celestia said. Everyone was going to vote for Twilight! *** "I still can't believe we pulled that off!" Fluttershy said. They were back at Rarity's place. "I can!" Rainbow Dash said. "Yeah! We had Gohan do SO much heavy work! He lifted five tables with his finger!" Pinkie Pie said. "Now that's a strong one!" Applejack said. "Enough chit-chat. We need to look fabulous!" Rarity said, pulling out many dresses and suits. After many changes to dresses, appliances, nails, accessories and hair, everyone was prepared. All but Twilight and Gohan. Gohan didn't get any of that fancy stuff. He wasn't wearing a tux as what everyone else expected. He asked for... Different wear. Twilight finally finished. She had a purple dress which showed off how much of a princess she was! Gohan was still in his changing room. "You alright, Gohan?" Rarity asked. "Yeah, I'm just doing some changes." Gohan said. "Well, no rush." Rarity said. Gohan stepped out of the room with an entirely new look. His new look shocked everyone. Except Twilight, she saw it before. https://t00.deviantart.net/Cd3AqpNkMVGG09Wav8m2_7okeiw=/fit-in/700x350/filters:fixed_height(100,100):origin()/pre00/da5b/th/pre/f/2016/366/e/1/gohan_by_tch023-datos61.png Gohan had blond hair and blue eyes? He secretly wore his gi underneath. "Gohan? D-Did you add hair dye to your hair?" Rarity asked. "And what's with your eyes? They're blue!" Rainbow Dash said. Gohan chuckled. "It's a secret." He said. "Let me guess, it's something we can do, right?" Pinkie Pie asked. "Sorry to disappoint you but only Saiyans can do it. Heheh." Gohan said. *** The seven friends all arrived to the Fall Formal in a limousine. Spike came along, too. They stepped out. At the same time, Flash Sentry came in his own car. "Twilight!" He called. Twilight stopped while her friends went ahead. He ran up to her. "I know you said no about the Fall Formal with me... But would you reconsider and at least have one dance?" Flash Sentry asked. "I didn't say no... I mean, I did, but I didn't mean no to you." Twilight said, placing a hand on Flash's shoulder. "What I mean is, yes. I'd love to dance with you." Twilight said. Flash Sentry escorted Twilight into the school. Not before he walked into the wall by accident. Inside, a party was happening! Everyone was dancing! Well, Gohan kind of stood there awkwardly, drinking some fruit punch. Then some other kids his age came by. "Who are you?" A kid asked. It was Applebloom. The human Crusaders were those kids. "Are you in our classes?" Scootaloo asked. "I-I'm not in your classes." Gohan said. "Why aren't you dancing?" Sweetie Belle asked. "I-I'd rather not..." Gohan said. His friends were dancing, and Flash Sentry was performing. "Anyone see Sunset Shimmer?" Twilight asked. "Maybe she was too embarrassed to show! You gotta know you won by a landslide!" Rainbow Dash said. "Maybe..." Twilight said. Now the band finished a song, and Celestia walked up to the stage. "First off, I want to say how amazing everything looks tonight. You did a magnificent job fixing the place after the unfortunate events of earlier. And, without further ado, I'd like to announce the Princess of this year's Fall Formal." Celestia said. Luna brought up a chest with Twilight's Element of Harmony. "The Princess of the Fall Formal is..." Celestia said. Everyone was hyped to hear who was the princess. "This is gonna be awesome!" Rainbow Dash said. "Twilight Sparkle!" Celestia said. Everyone cheered. Gohan was jumping too! But he jumped so high that he got some looks. He stopped and blushed. However, during the cheering, two kids, Snips and Snails snuck into the gym unnoticed. Twilight was walking up to get her crown. "Congratulations, Twilight." Celestia said, placing the crown upon Twilight's head. Everyone cheered. But, something bad happened. "TWILIGHT! HEEEELLLLP!" Spike screamed. Snips and Snails took him. "Spike?" Twilight asked. "They've got Spike!" She yelled, running after the two boys. Her friends joined her race against them. Gohan stayed behind the girls as they raced because bumping into them was rude. They chased the boys outside where Sunset Shimmer was. She held a sledgehammer. "That's close enough!" She yelled, ready to swing at the portal. "Twilight!" Spike said, before Snips and Snails shut his mouth. "Don't hurt him!" Twilight said. "You hurt him, I'll kill you!" Gohan shouted. "Oh, I wouldn't dream of it. I'm not a monster, Twilight. Let him go." Sunset Shimmer said. The goons looked at her confused, and then let him go. Spike ran back to Twilight, where they hugged. "You don't belong here, give me the crown, and you can go back to Equestria tonight." Sunset Shimmer said. "And why should we listen to you?" Gohan asked. "I don't know, blondie. Or else Twilight here can't go back for another thirty moons, or forever!" Sunset Shimmer said. "F-Forever!?" Gohan asked. "Keep it, and never go home." Sunset Shimmer said, ready to swing. "Time's ticking, Twilight. The portal will close in less than an hour. What's your choice." Sunset Shimmer said. After lengthy thinking time, Twilight had an answer. "Fine." She said. "What!?" Her friends asked. "Wise choice." Sunset Shimmer said. "Twilight, don't-" "Gohan, there's no other way!" Twilight interrupted. She handed her crown over to Sunset Shimmer. "Oh no..." Gohan said. Sunset Shimmer placed the crown on her head. "At last! More power than I can EVER imagine!" Sunset Shimmer said. The crown's Element glowed dark magic. A dark black and blue aura surrounded Sunset Shimmer. "N-No!" Gohan said. Everyone looked in horror. The people in the gym also came out to see what the commotion was. They were scared. Sunset Shimmer transformed! Her whole body was red, her clothes formed into a fiery red, she attained wings and her hair was on fire. She cackled, inspecting her new body. Everyone gasped. "Dang it!" Gohan shouted. She zapped Snips and Snails, transforming them too! They were going to attack the seven. Gohan stepped up to the plate while his friends backed away. "Leave now, and you won't regret it." He said. Everyone but the seven ran back inside for protection. "I had to jump over so many obstacles tonight get my hands on this crown! And it really should have been mine all along!" Sunset Shimmer said. "But, let's let bygones be bygones! I am your princess now, and you will be loyal." Sunset Shimmer said, destroying the doors. She used her new magic to mind control everyone in the school! She had ordered Snips and Snails to round up the mind controlled people. "Spoiler alert, I was never going to destroy the portal! I don't want to rule this pathetic little high school! I want Equestria! And with my own little teenage army, we shall succeed!" Sunset Shimmer boasted. Even Flash Sentry was possessed. "Not on my watch!" Gohan yelled. Gohan removed his formal wear to reveal his gi, and reverted back to his base form. "You're that kid? No matter, you can't beat me now." Sunset Shimmer said. "I am the protector of Equestria, and I cannot let it fall to you!" Gohan shouted. "You're what!?" The six others asked. "What are you going to do to stop me!? I have magic, and YOU have NOTHING!" Sunset Shimmer exclaimed. "She has us!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed. "No, stand back!" Gohan demanded. "You'll die! I can handle her. I don't need magic, I have more strength and skill than you can ever imagine!" Gohan yelled. "The gang is all back together again, hahahah! Now step aside!" Sunset Shimmer yelled. She threw a fire blast at the six girls, who all hugged each other for protection. Gohan jumped in front of them and held the immense blast in his hands. He struggled to hold it, so he directed it at the sky. Rainbow Dash was the first to look. "What the...?" Rainbow Dash asked. "What!?" Applejack asked. "I'll hold her off! You figure out a way to fix her!" Gohan yelled, flying up to the new Sunset Shimmer. Sunset Shimmer threw another blast of magic at Gohan, which he kicked back at Sunset Shimmer. Sunset Shimmer dodged the blast. "You hid your strength, but the battle has only begun!" Sunset Shimmer exclaimed. "You won't win!" Gohan said. Gohan and Sunset Shimmer began to clash with barrages of punches and kicks. Gohan was only a little bit stronger. However, they seemed evenly matched. "ATATATATATATA!" Gohan yelled as he threw his punches and kicks. Gohan eventually ended the interaction with an axe kick, knocking Sunset Shimmer down to the ground. Everyone looked in shock at the battle they were witnessing. Gohan flew back down, attempting to slam Sunset Shimmer with a double axe handle. Sunset Shimmer moved out of the way in time. The impact caused the concrete to shatter. Sunset Shimmer blasted Gohan with magic, which he couldn't dodge or block in time. Gohan was damaged, but he recovered in time to redirect the blast back to Sunset Shimmer. Gohan flew beside the blast going towards Sunset Shimmer. He threw a few ki blasts at Sunset Shimmer too. Sunset Shimmer blocked every projectile, but Gohan grabbed her head and flung her behind him. Sunset Shimmer managed to throw a fire blast at Gohan before being sent flying. Gohan dodged, but he was almost hit. His shirts were hit, though. It revealed a single pec, and half of his six pack. "You're not bad. If you were good, we could have been good rivals." Gohan said. "I will still destroy you!" Sunset Shimmer said. "T-That's so cool!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed. "It's because he's the strongest being in existence." Twilight said. "W-What!? But Sunset Shimmer... She's actually keeping up!" Fluttershy said. "Gohan has another power increase in store." Twilight said. "He said he'd hold her off, what are we supposed to do!?" Applejack said. Sunset Shimmer knocked Gohan down to the ground with a double axe handle and threw a magic blast at Gohan. Gohan fired a weak Masenko to counter the blast. Gohan landed gently and sidestepped as Sunset Shimmer came down with a dropkick. He immediately kicked her in the head with extreme force. You could hear a cracked bone from it. He repeatedly kicked her again, and then grabbed her faced and dragged it across the ground. "Whoa! That's overkill!" Rainbow Dash screamed. Gohan let go, and Sunset Shimmer got back up. "Argh! You're good, but I'm still holding back!" Sunset Shimmer said. "So am I." Gohan said, going in his Super Saiyan form. Sunset Shimmer powered up. Her power was still weaker, so Gohan suppressed himself. "This time, I'm at my full potential. You won't get away with this!" Gohan said. "I'd LOVE to see you try!" Sunset Shimmer yelled. Gohan's resolute valor touched the hearts of the girls. Gohan and Sunset Shimmer were at it again, but with stronger hits. Gohan eventually broke up the interaction with a Masenko. He used the time to perform the Multi-Form Technique. Now there were four Gohans! Sunset Shimmer came back to the battlefield and was utterly shocked by this display. "Four of these nuisances!" She yelled. "Snips! Snails! Come handle this!" Sunset Shimmer demanded. Snips and Snails didn't bother. The four clones nodded to each other, and three went after Sunset Shimmer while one fell back. Despite the numbers, their powers were reduced. That doesn't mean they couldn't give Sunset Shimmer a run for her money. "Guys, did you figure it out?" Gohan asked. "Figure what out?" Rainbow Dash asked. "I'm not supposed to defeat Sunset Shimmer right now! It's up to you!" Gohan said. "Us!? What about you!? Just go Super Saiyan 2 or whatever!" Twilight said. "No, Twilight! Remember, what's your purpose in Equestria?" Gohan asked. "I'm... I'm the Princess of Friendship." Twilight said. "We can't destroy her, but we can only make her realize. Killing her is pointless! There's a good person under that mask. She was Celestia's student!" Gohan said. "Yeah, that's right!" Twilight said. Then, one of Gohan's clones came sliding across the concrete beside Gohan. "YOU'VE STALLED FOR LONG ENOUGH!" Sunset Shimmer yelled. Gohan's clones all got together to become one again. "My will to fight is endless!" Gohan shouted, charging at Sunset Shimmer again. "HA! HA! HA!" Gohan yelled has he threw many ki blasts. "T-This is an awesome battle!" Rainbow Dash squealed. "ADYA!" Gohan screamed as he performed a double axe handle on Sunset Shimmer. "Wait... That's right!" Twilight said. "What?" Rainbow Dash asked. "The magic contained in my element was able to unite us, the ones who created it!" Twilight said. Sunset Shimmer got up from the recent impact. The crown started to emit an energy towards the six. The Mane Six! "The Element of Harmony does not pertain to Sunset Shimmer, because it's purpose is for the magic of friendship!" Twilight exclaimed. Gohan halted his assault, and remained in the air. The energy, or magic actually, touched the six friends, and they all floated up in the air. The six friends all got their pony counterpart ears, tails/extra hair, and/or their wings! Well, only three got their wings. Each of them represented an Element of Harmony, despite them not wearing the necklaces. "Together, with the crown, we create a power beyond many! But it is not a power you have the ability to control!" Twilight exclaimed. The crown started to counteract with Sunset Shimmer. "The crown may be upon your head, Sunset Shimmer. But you cannot wield it! Because you don't possess the most powerful magic of all! The magic of Friendship!" Twilight said. The six floating friends all held hands to create a double rainbow that flew up and down on Sunset Shimmer. "Aaaahhh!" Sunset Shimmer screamed. "ITS NOT ENOUGH!" She screamed. She was ready to break free. "KAMEHAMEHA!" Gohan screamed, putting full power into his Kamehameha wave. The combined blasts were too much to handle. "Here and in Equestria, it is the only power than can unite us all." Twilight said. The magic of Friendship released the students from Sunset Shimmer's spell. It reversed Snips and Snails' transformation. "NOOO!" Sunset Shimmer yelled. An explosion ensued outside the school. Gohan floated back down to the ground, where his friends were. They laid on the ground. He still sensed Sunset Shimmer, but her darkness was destroyed. The Mane Six all got up again. They noticed Gohan's upper body, but he didn't realize they were looking. "We did it." Gohan said. "My goodness! Y-Your upper body..." Rarity said. Gohan looked down at his exposed skin, and hid it while blushing. There was a huge hole in the ground. "You will never rule Equestria. Any power you may have had in this world is gone!" Twilight declared. "Tonight, you've shown everyone who you truly are. You showed them what was in your heart!" She added. Everyone walked over to where the destruction occurred. Sunset Shimmer actually felt... Guilt. She was crying. Gohan smiled. She finally figured it out. "I'm sorry... I'm so sorry! I... I didn't know there was another way..." Sunset Shimmer sobbed. Gohan jumped down into the hole. Sunset Shimmer was fearful for her own life when she saw the Super Saiyan in front of her. "Of course there was. The magic of Friendship exists everywhere. You were a monster without empathy. But now you've changed. I will accept your apology. We do." Gohan said, referring to his new friends. "Huh?" The five asked. He held out a hand to Sunset Shimmer. "B-But all I've done since I've been here is drive people apart! I don't know the first thing about friendship!" Sunset Shimmer sobbed. "But it's never too late to learn, Sunset Shimmer. I bet they can teach you." Gohan said, referring to his friends again. He lifted her up, making her stand again. She looked down at him with tearful eyes. "Hugs?" Gohan asked. Sunset Shimmer took the offer, and hugged the Super Saiyan who helped her realize her mistakes. "Hugs are nice." Gohan said. Gohan brought Sunset Shimmer up to the same level as everyone else. Well, he flew up there. "I-Is he flying!?" Applebloom asked. "I sure am." Gohan said. "Woohoo! Yeah!" Spike yelled. "Did that dog just talk?" A boy asked. "Me being able to talk isn't the weirdest thing in all this." Spike said. "I, for one think you're adorable!" Rarity said, picking Spike up and scratching his ears. "I believe this belongs to you." Celestia said, bringing the crown to Twilight. "A princess leads by not forcing others to bow to her, but by inspiring others to stand with her." She said, placing the crown upon Twilight's head once more. "We have all seen you are just capable of all that." Celestia said. "I hope you see it too, Princess Twilight." Celestia said. "I do." Twilight said. Everyone cheered for Twilight. Gohan reverted back to his base form and stood on the ground again. He smiled for Twilight. "And you." Celestia said, pointing at Gohan. "Me?" Gohan asked. "Although Sunset Shimmer had us under her spell, we were able to see the fight unfold. I must say, your resolute valor alone has touched all of our hearts." Celestia said. "We thank you on behalf of this world. What is your name?" Celestia asked. "Son Gohan." Gohan said. "Son Gohan, thank you." Celestia said. "Yeah! You were like, 'Ha!' And she was like, 'Ow!' And you grabbed her face, and-" Scootaloo said, before realizing everyone was staring at her. Gohan laughed sheepishly. "What can I say, huh? I fight for my friends." He said. "Would now be a completely awkward time for a dance?" Flash Sentry asked Twilight, holding his hand out. Twilight looked at the moon. She still had time. She nodded, and took Flash Sentry's hand. *** Everyone was in the gym again, partying like there was no tomorrow. Gohan actually joined in on the dancing this time. Well, when the Crusaders asked for him to carry them as he flew. Rainbow Dash took Scootaloo for a ride with her newfound wings, while Applebloom and Sweetie Belle sat on Gohan's back as he flew around the gym. Photo Finish wanted the seven friends to get in a photo for her. So, the seven all got together, and they would never forget this night. *** Everyone was hugging Twilight and Gohan. "We'll miss you two." Everyone said. "Look out for Sunset Shimmer, guys." Gohan said. "Of course we will! Although I do expect some sort of apology from her." Rarity said. "And we owe you, Gohan for saving us!" Rainbow Dash said, lightly punching Gohan in his shoulder. "A-As long you guys will be good friends, and teach her friendship, I will personally take it as repaying your debt." Gohan said. "I have a feeling she'll be handing out a lot of apologies." Twilight said. "We better get going." Spike said. "I know we've been friends for such a short amount of time, but I'll miss you all." Twilight said. "Yeah, I'm really glad we made friends with you." Gohan said. "Aw, we'll miss you too." Rainbow Dash said. The three walked back to the portal. "That crown does suit you, Twilight." Spike said. "You know, I think I'm more comfortable in it now." Twilight said. "I think you would be, I mean you know what it's like being a human now. You know what it's like for me, except I'm... Well, me." Gohan said. The three entered the portal, back to Equestria. As the moon was full again, the portal closed and the five friends all lost their pony parts. Pinkie Pie, in an act of desperation, ran over to the statue where the portal used to be and ran into it. "Aw, bummer!" Pinkie Pie said. *** Back in Equestria, the rest of the Mane 6 and the princesses were waiting for Twilight's arrival. Suddenly, Twilight came through the portal standing on her back hooves. She put her forehooves down on the ground again. "Twilight!" Her friends shouted. "You're back!" Rainbow Dash said. "You've got your crown!" Rarity said. Pinkie Pie hugged Twilight. "I knew you could do it!" She said. "I was so worried- Wait, where's Gohan?" Applejack asked. Gohan emerged from the portal with Spike. "Gohan!" Pinkie Pie said. "Hey!" Gohan said. "It seems you have gone through quite a battle." Celestia said. "You could say that, yeah." Gohan said. "Is Sunset Shimmer alright?" Celestia asked. "She's going to be fine. I left her in good hands." Twilight said. "What are hands?" Rainbow Dash asked. "These." Gohan said, showing his hands. "Oh. Huh?" Rainbow Dash asked. *** Since Twilight couldn't be bothered to talk about what happened in the other world, Gohan took over. "There were the same ponies here, but as humans! Or basically me without the Saiyan biology." Gohan explained. The whole tale was told to the others, and now Twilight would never return. Or will she?
Guilt"I'M SORRY!" Gohan screamed. He was in his Super Saiyan 2 form, and his father just sacrificed himself. Cell was going to blow the planet up, but Goku took him to King Kai's planet instead. "I'M SORRY!" Gohan screamed repeatedly. Tears were streaming down his face. "GOKU!" Krillin screamed. Gohan realized where he was again. Back when he fought Cell. 'Oh no... No!' Gohan thought. "I'M SORRY!" Gohan screamed. *** "I'M SORRY!" Gohan screamed in his sleep. "Wake up!" Fluttershy said as loud as she could. Gohan and the Mane 6 were all having a sleepover at Twilight's Treehouse. "GOHAN! GET UP!" Rainbow Dash screamed. Twilight shook Gohan as much as she could. "I'M SORRY!" He screamed. After Rainbow Dash body slammed him, he finally woke up. "Ah! Dad?" Gohan asked. "Gohan!" The Mane 6 yelled, hugging him instantly. "W-Where am I? Where's Cell!?" Gohan asked. "Cell? Didn't you beat him?" Twilight asked. "I... I did." Gohan said. The hug broke. "Why were you screaming 'I'm sorry' in your sleep?" Pinkie Pie asked. Gohan thought of that moment again. His father sacrificed himself. He actually cried. "Gohan, don't cry." Fluttershy said in a soothing voice. "Why are you crying?" Rainbow Dash asked. "I... I can't tell you." Gohan said. "Why not?" Pinkie Pie asked. "Gohan, darling. We are very concerned for you. Your screams woke us up. Has something been happening?" Rarity asked. "Don't worry, it was just a horrific nightmare." Gohan said. "You sure you'll be alright?" Applejack asked. "Don't worry... It will never come back." Gohan reassured. "Alright. Good night." They all said. *** The next day, Gohan had trouble with his own mind. The Cell Games nightmare was playing over and over in his mind. 'Why can't I just forget about it!?' Gohan thought. He was walking in Ponyville, but he accidentally walked into a wall when thinking. "I need help... But I can't tell anyone." He muttered. He flew back to his gravity chamber. He attempted to meditate without any surroundings able to distract him. But Gohan couldn't meditate. The memories suddenly resurfaced, and it was tearing him apart. There was a knock on the gravity chamber. Gohan opened the door to be greeted by Fluttershy. "Hey Fluttershy." Gohan said. "Gohan, we need to talk." Fluttershy said. *** The two were now at Fluttershy's cottage. They sipped tea. Gohan was starting to calm down with the atmosphere. The animals' noises somehow helped him calm down. "Gohan, what was your nightmare last night?" Fluttershy asked. "... I can't tell you." Gohan said. "Why not? I won't hate you for anything..." Fluttershy said. "This is different. That wasn't just a nightmare." Gohan said. "Please, I want to help you." Fluttershy said. "I know your concerned, but it was just a nightmare. It won't come back." Gohan said. "This isn't an ordinary nightmare, Gohan. You were screaming in your sleep." Fluttershy said. "Sorry, but I can't tell you. It will fix itself in time." Gohan said. "If you won't cave in, then fine." Fluttershy said. "I'm sorry, but it's too personal." Gohan said. "No, don't be sorry. I understand." Fluttershy said. "Thanks." Gohan said. *** Gohan was training in his gravity chamber again. While he practiced, those memories came back. He imagined himself pulverizing Cell, but at the same time, he couldn't forget how he got his dad killed. He eventually felt so guilty that he punched himself in the gut. "Oh gosh... Why did I do that..." Gohan asked himself before coughing up some blood. Then another knock came on the door. He shut down the gravity amplifier and opened the door. Fluttershy and Rarity were there this time. "Hello." Gohan said. "Gohan, we want you to come to the spa with us." Rarity said. "Me? Why?" Gohan asked. "Since you've been training to a very extreme extent, we thought you should take a small, relaxing rest." Rarity said. "It's so soothing..." Fluttershy said. "Uh... Okay, I'll join you." Gohan said. "Then come, follow us." Rarity said. *** Aloe and Lotus were doing a great job massaging Gohan. His privates were hidden by a large towel. "Doesn't this feel splendid?" Rarity asked. "Yeah... I feel some of my stress just chipping away." Gohan said. "It does wonders for me... I get so caught up with the animals that I need a break such as this..." Fluttershy said. "I can see why." Gohan said. *** Gohan entered the stallion's jacuzzi. The bubbles and the warm water calmed him down. 'I need to thank them for this, this is great!' Gohan thought. *** After the spa visit, Gohan was refreshed. He still couldn't help but feel terrible about his nightmare. "Thanks you two. I feel like I had a break!" Gohan said. "It is never a problem, Gohan. We are still indebted to you for your heroic deeds." Rarity said. "You didn't have to do that..." Gohan said. "Don't feel bad." Fluttershy said. "Alright, see you around." Gohan said, flying away. "I do hope he informs us about his dreams." Rarity said. "I tried, he wouldn't budge." Fluttershy said. *** "I'M SORRY!" Gohan screamed. He was having the nightmare again. But all of a sudden, everything stopped for Gohan when his dad disappeared. He looked at the others, who's facial expressions never changed at all. In fact, the wind no longer blew. "W-What the...?" Gohan muttered. "Son Gohan." He heard. He turned around to see Princess Luna. "P-Princess?" Gohan asked. "There is a reason why you are having this dream. In fact, I see you having this dream repeatedly." Luna said. "This is a dream?" Gohan asked. "Yes. I must say, your second transformation makes you fearless and ambitious rather than your usually cheerful attitude." Luna noted. "It's... It's why I don't like entering it." Gohan said. "Yes. Anyway, there's a reason you keep having these dreams. Unfortunately, I cannot find out because your dream always ends at this point. Tell me, why do you feel immensely guilty?" Luna asked. Gohan looked at his own hands. "I... I think you saw what happened." Gohan said. "Yes. Your father sacrificed himself. You need to learn how to cope." Luna said. "That... That's not what I meant. He died when I was four and he died here. Of course I cope with his death... But... I should tell you why I'm in Equestria..." Gohan said. "Excuse me?" Luna asked. "I murdered my dad because of this." Gohan said. Luna did not come up with that from her observations. "W-Why would you say that!?" Luna asked. "I... I didn't finish off Cell when I could. He died because of me." Gohan said. "It is not your fault, Gohan. This transformation of yours changes you." Luna reassured. "But... It's what happened after that. I ended Cell. You know that, but..." Gohan stopped short. "But what?" Luna asked. "I... I was... I-I..." Gohan said. "Do not feel bad to tell me. Nobody else can hear this." Luna said. "I came here to escape a horrible fate." Gohan said. "What fate?" Luna asked. "You see... I didn't come here randomly. After the Cell Games... My loved ones hunted me. My mother disowned me." Gohan said, looking down at the ground. "Oh my... I apologize." Luna said. "I... I almost died when I was in Ponyville. My teacher attempted to kill me." Gohan said. "Oh my... I never knew. Why have you hidden this from us?" Luna asked. "I don't want anyone to know the horrific truth. I gave you all an alternate ending to hide the truth." Gohan said. "But why? Why did you say Cell murdered your father and that's why you turned into this?" Luna asked. "If you think about it, I ran away from my problems by coming here! I know my father forgave me for the incident... But many of my friends didn't. They tried to kill me. I made a wish and I got here to escape. I'm responsible for his death. I'm sure you know that by now." Gohan said. Luna did not respond. "You want me to tell my friends the truth?" Gohan asked. "I believe that is the only way to relieve you of this stress." Luna said. "But... What if they don't accept me for it?" Gohan asked. "Do not falter, Son Gohan. The Element bearers would never dislike you for such a thing. Already, I have forgiven you." Luna said. "...Thank you, princess." Gohan said. *** Gohan woke up in a daze. It was sunrise. He kept having that dream for weeks. The words always echoed in his head. "I killed my father." He was amazing at hiding his emotions of guilt. It was overshadowed by his cheerfulness. He would never forget how his closest of friends Piccolo attempted to murder him, and he would never forget when his mother disowned him. He would never be able to see his own brother. He shook his head, clearing his head of those sad thoughts. "I have to get rid of this.. If only my dad would answer." Gohan muttered. Gohan planned a picnic for tomorrow. *** Today, Gohan was going to tell his friends what REALLY happened after the Cell Games. After another nightmare, he woke up. 'Come on, they forgave Sunset Shimmer for what she did. They can forgive me.' Gohan reassured himself. *** "I love picnics!" Pinkie Pie said. "Yeah, thanks for inviting us, Gohan!" Applejack said. "Sure!" Gohan said. Gohan made a plethora of food for this picnic. Most of it was for him and Pinkie Pie, but he made sure to give his friends good portions. "So... There's a reason why I invited you guys here." Gohan said. "Why's that?" Rainbow Dash asked. "It's about my nightmares." Gohan said. "So you'll finally tell us what they're about?" Twilight asked. "Not exactly... But you do need to know the truth." Gohan said. "What truth?" Applejack asked. "Remember I told you how I turned into a Super Saiyan 2?" Gohan asked. "Y-Yeah... You told us your dad died and you had enough." Pinkie Pie said. "That's not entirely true... I... I actually turned Super Saiyan 2 before that." Gohan said. "Why would you lie about that?" Applejack asked. "You see... I could have ended Cell. Instead, I let my anger take over and became sadistic. It gave him an opportunity to take everyone out with him by self destructing." Gohan said. "And?" Rarity asked. "My dad... He took Cell and himself to another world to sacrifice himself for the planet." Gohan said. "Oh... W-Why did you lie?" Twilight asked. "I caused his death!" Gohan retorted instantly, and tears streamed down his face. "No you didn't, darling..." Rarity said. "I did! I could have killed Cell when I had the chance! I even let him regenerate beforehand! Instead, I gave him the chance to take us all out." Gohan sobbed. Rainbow Dash gave a one hoof hug to Gohan. "Don't beat yourself up, Gohan." She said. "I'm not done yet." Gohan sobbed. "W-What else?" Fluttershy asked. "After I defeated Cell when he came back, my... My loved ones hunted me down." Gohan said. Everyone gasped. "Why would anyone try to kill you? Other than villains." Rainbow Dash said. "They said they wanted to avenge my father. Even my mother disowned me, and I came here because of a wish granting dragon!" Gohan sobbed. "You came to Equestria on purpose?" Twilight asked. "I left my world on purpose." Gohan said. "My first friend, who was my teacher tried to kill me before I was here. It's why you found me injured." He added. "Oh my..." Rarity said. There was an awkward silence after that. "... It's alright, Gohan." Fluttershy said. "But... How?" Gohan asked. "Gohan, we've been your friends since we met! We even saw your father, he doesn't care!" Rainbow Dash said. "And who cares about those so-called friends of yours? A friend wouldn't attempt to murder a friend." Rarity said. "Don't think of your actions as a coward, Gohan. In fact, I don't see you as a coward in the slightest! Just because you didn't want to live in a world where everyone was trying kill you, doesn't mean you're a coward." Twilight said. "... Do you guys really think... I'm not evil?" Gohan asked. "Of course not, dear." Rarity said. "You've saved our flanks too much for us to think that!" Pinkie Pie said. Gohan was touched to hear that his friends would never do as his 'friends' did. "Gohan, we could never hate you." Applejack said. Gohan smiled. "Thanks." He said. They all got into a group hug. "Aw..." They all said. "So you screaming was when your father died?" Pinkie Pie asked. "Yes... But that's in the past, now. I got amazing friends with me." Gohan said. That Nightmare never came back to haunt him again.
Princess Twilight Sparkle Pt. 1Gohan and Rainbow Dash were helping Twilight get accustomed to her new wings. The Mane 6 watched. They were in Canterlot. Twilight was struggling. "You really gotta flap them hard!" Rainbow Dash said. Twilight ended up flapping them too hard and flew into a tree. "Maybe not that hard." Rainbow Dash said. Twilight tried floating back to the ground, but failed and fell flat on her face. "Looking good up there Princess Twilight!" Applejack said, helping Twilight back up. "Applejack, you don't have to call me that." Twilight said. "Why do you protest so? You've already given up wearing your crown all the time, the least you can do is embrace your new title." Rarity said. "If other ponies want to address me that way, I suppose it's fine, but not my friends." Twilight said. "Don't think that we're pampering you because you're a princess. We just like to call you princess because it is who you are." Gohan said, floating back down to the ground. "Anyway... The Summer Sun celebration is only a few days away, and I'll never be able to do my part!" Twilight said. "I don't know how to train you how to fly, that's Rainbow Dash's business. When you want to be a stronger flyer, that's where I can help." Gohan said. "Now get up there and show everypony the big finish!" Rainbow Dash said. Twilight nodded, and began to fly. She already flew normally. Her friends cheered. Twilight was having fun until she ran into clouds. Then she froze in the air, and started to fall down. She flapped her wings as hard as she could, and flew back up. Before Twilight would get into a worse situation, Gohan stopped her by holding her hoof. "Alright, that's enough." He said. *** Now everyone was in the throne room, where the stained glass were. They were looking at the one where Twilight's coronation occurred. "You look amazing, darling! They really captured your regality." Rarity said. "I suppose." Twilight said. "Oh, don't be so modest. It's everypony's dream to have a coronation and have a stained glass photo of themselves!" Rarity said. "I don't know if it's everypony's dream." Rainbow Dash said. "Yeah, to be honest, it's not my dream either." Gohan said. "Most of my dreams are about frosting!" Pinkie Pie said. "Most of my dreams are... Well, it goes from food to being a scholar." Gohan said. "We better get going, we don't want to miss our train." Fluttershy said. "Yep! I gotta few bushels to get for the Ponyville celebration. It may be here in Canterlot, but whooee! Does the mayor want it to be perfect back home!" Applejack said. Twilight smiled, but then frowned. "Don't be sad, sugarcube. You'll be up there with the princesses when Celestia raises the sun." Applejack said. "And I'm honored. Really honored. It's just that the Summer Sun Celebration first brought us all together." Twilight said. "Wait, it did?" Gohan asked. "You arrived slightly after Nightmare Moon's arrival, which prevented the Summer Sun Celebration from happening." Twilight said. "Okay, that makes sense now." Gohan said. "It just doesn't feel right not getting to spend such an occasion with my Ponyville friends." Twilight said. "Don't worry, it's just one celebration. Well, at least you have one friend." Gohan said. He was chosen to be in a front row seat as an ambassador. "It doesn't feel right to us either, darling. If the mayor wasn't so desperate for our assistance, we would certainly stay here in Canterlot. And we do understand that your royal duties must come first." Rarity said. "The Summer Sun Celebration may have brought us together, but there's something much bigger that it'll keep us all connected." Applejack said. She then pointed a hoof at the stained glass where the seven defeated Nightmare Moon. "Exhibit A!" Applejack said. "The six of us are united by Elements of Harmony. Gohan, well... He assisted us in defeating Nightmare Moon, and it was amazing. The point is, no amount of royal duties is ever going to change that." Applejack said. "Right Everypony?" She asked. Everyone but Pinkie Pie agreed. "Right, Pinkie Pie?" Applejack asked. "Gohan has armor!" Pinkie Pie said. "That was given to me by a close friend. Yeah..." Gohan said, referring to Vegeta, and he smiled. He tried to find a fond memory of him. *** Vegeta grabbed Kid Gohan by his bowl cut hair and punched him in the face repeatedly. "SO WHAT!? YOU THINK JUST BECAUSE YOUR FATHER'S A SUPER SAIYAN THAT YOU'RE BETTER THAN ME!?" Vegeta yelled. "No!" Gohan sobbed. Vegeta did it faster. "WRONG ANSWER!" Vegeta yelled. *** Gohan's smile turned into one of 'I thought it was good but now I'm having second thoughts' faces. "Uh... Anyway. Let's go." Twilight said. *** They were at the train station. The seven were saying their temporary goodbyes. "We're going to write you and add so many details it'll be like you're in Ponyville with us! Right girls?" Pinkie Pie asked. "Cross my heart and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye." They said, doing the gestures. "We already have plans after the Summer Sun Celebration, anyway. We already have an appointment on the book to add new upgrades to your new decor." Rarity said. "All aboard!" The conductor called. The seven friends all hugged, and five of them boarded the train. They all waved goodbye as the train left. Twilight sighed. She didn't want to experience the Summer Sun Celebration this way. Gohan gave her a pat on the back. "Cheer up. You have a big day ahead of you." Gohan reassured. "It's already been a minute, and I feel like I'm missing something." Twilight said. Then, a mailpony came. "For the princess." He said, hoofing the letter to Spike. "Dear Twilight, you aren't missing anything. From Pinkie Pie." Spike said. "She's prepared for all kinds of things, isn't she?" Gohan asked. "Yeah... But I am missing something. I just know it." Twilight said. *** "Check, check, check, check, and check!" Spike said, writing checks on the checklist. The dragon and the princess were in her private quarters. "What do you know? We're ahead of schedule! I credit your extremely competent assistant!" Spike said. "So do I." Twilight said. "The celebration isn't until the day after tomorrow. We could still fit in a quick trip to Ponyville and come back to finish all these things in time for the celebration! Or we could just have Gohan fly us." Spike said. "That would be nice, Spike. But what if something else came up? What if we were delayed getting back and we weren't able to finish everything on that list?" Twilight asked. She began to ramble on for absurd reasons why they probably shouldn't go to Ponyville, such as randomly forgetting how to get back to Canterlot. She was flying as she rambled, without realizing it. Eventually she hit her head on the ceiling. "So that's a no, then?" Spike asked. "These are my first royal duties Princess Celestia has given me! I can't risk letting her down!" Twilight exclaimed. "And I'm sure you won't." Celestia said. Celestia had entered Twilight's room. "Your highness!" Spike said, bowing. Twilight followed. "No need for that, now, Princess Twilight." Celestia said, getting Twilight to stand again. "Sorry!" Twilight said. Celestia chuckled. "No need to apologize." She said. "Sorry!" Twilight said with a smile. "I must admit, it is wonderful to actually be looking forward to the Summer Sun Celebration." Celestia said. "What do you mean?" Twilight asked. "For my subjects, it has always been a ceremony of my defeat of Nightmare Moon." Celestia said, watching Luna make the moon rise. "But for me..." Celestia said before she sighed. "It was just a terrible reminder that I had to banish my own sister." She added. "I guess I never really thought out it that way." Twilight said. "And now it has become a wonderful of her transformation back into Princess Luna! And our happy reunion! I am so pleased that you will be playing a role in the festivities. I know it must be difficult to see your friends go back to Ponyville." Celestia said. "A little..." Twilight said. Celestia smiled at her all the while questioning her answer. "You may no longer be my student, Princess Twilight. But I hope you know that I'll always be here if you need me. Just as you would when I need you." Celestia said. "Message for Princess Twilight!" A mailpony said. Twilight turned around and took the letter. It was from Pinkie Pie. She opened it, and confetti flew everywhere. "A letter from Ponyville, I presume?" Celestia asked all the while smiling. "Nevermind. It's not important. Spike? Where were we?" Twilight asked. "About calling it a night?" Spike asked. "Let's go over the checklist one more time." Twilight said with a smile. "I knew you were going to say that..." Spike said, pulling out the checklist. "I'll leave you to it." Celestia said, trotting away. *** Gohan was looking outside his window, at the stars. The beautiful, beautiful stars. Gohan just wanted to see Earth again. But he couldn't. Nobody would welcome him anyway. He kind of coped the fact that even his mother betrayed him, but still silently moped about it. He could just imagine himself, being at home, with his mother. *** Gohan would be studying. "Gohan! Dinner is ready!" Chi Chi called. "Coming!" Gohan would say, getting out of his chair. He would sit down at the dining table. He would gratefully eat the feast his mother would have prepped for him. After that, it would be more studying. If his mother was gone for groceries, he could sneak in some training, in honor of his father. *** "Daydreaming, are we?" Celestia asked. Gohan snapped out of his imagination. "Yeah, I am." Gohan said, looking back at Celestia with a smile. "You miss your old home, don't you?" Celestia asked. Gohan said. "Yep." He said, looking back at the stars. "I suppose this day will just be the reminder of when I escaped death by my former friends. But it's also the reminder of when I made new friends." He added. "I see. Have a good night." Celestia said, trotting away. "Good night, princess." Gohan said. Celestia was walking across the hall. Something bad happened. Something unknown. What is known was that a black vine did it. *** Twilight slept beside her window, on top of the checklist. She woke up to a surprise. "Spike?" Twilight asked. Spike was sleeptalking. "Check, check, check, check..." He said. "Spike!" Twilight said. Spike woke up, and stretched. "What time is it...?" Spike asked. "It's the middle of the night! But it could be morning... I can't tell!" Twilight said. The two looked out the window to see... The sun and the moon up at the same time. "Whoa, that is weird." Spike said. "Come on, Spike. We have to find out what is going on!" Twilight said. Suddenly, Gohan burst into the room. "Twilight! The princesses are missing!" He exclaimed. "The princesses are WHAAAAAAT!?" Twilight asked. *** Everyone was now in the throne room with some guards. "I don't understand! Where are they?" Twilight asked. "We don't know. It appears Princess Celestia and Princess Luna have suddenly vanished!" One guard said. "Vanished!" Another guard said. "Vanished!?" Spike said before passing out. "How could this have happened...?" Gohan muttered. "This is why we have come to you. We await your command!" The guards said, bowing to Twilight. "My command!?" Twilight asked. "We are officers of the Royal Guard. We take our orders from royalty. With Princess Celestia and Princess Luna gone, and Princess Cadence overseeing the Crystal Empire now, we take our orders from you." A guard said. Spike stood up again only to faint again. "Princess Twilight, we must be quick. We need to know what you want us to do!" A guard said. "I need you to continue the search for Princess Celestia and Princess Luna. We have to find them before ponies start panicking. There must be some clue as to what happened to them!" Twilight ordered. Gohan snapped his fingers. "I have an idea!" He said. "What is it?" Twilight asked. "Discord could be behind this! As a prank!" Gohan said. "That... Actually could be a cause. Guards, find Discord!" Twilight said. "Excuse me for this, but I-I'm afraid we don't know where to find Discord..." A guard said. "Okay. Keep up the search. If you find anything, anything at all, you must tell me!" Twilight said. The guards saluted, trotting away. Twilight took a deep breath. "Nice job taking charge, eh Twilight?" Spike said, getting up again. Suddenly, the doors burst open. Another guard came. "Princess Twilight! News from Ponyville! It seems that the Everfree Forest is, well... Invading!" The guard said. "What!?" Gohan asked. Twilight gasped and Spike fainted again. *** Black vines appeared all over Ponyville. They even had giant spikes on them! All of the ponies were panicking. Even the forest animals. They couldn't even get rid of the vines! They were really starting to get in the way of everyone! Even the clouds had spikes! Gohan flew to Ponyville as fast as he could. He already saw Rainbow Dash being attacked by some clouds. With lightning. Gohan fired many ki blasts to quickly dispatch of them. "Phew, thanks Gohan." Rainbow Dash said. "Maybe tell me that later!" Gohan said, flying down to the ground. The vines were already everywhere. Then, they had developed spores which made every unicorn's magic go crazy! Gohan began to blast the vines. Somehow, they worked! But they just kept coming back. "What the heck are these things!?" Gohan shouted. "They're coming from the Everfree Forest!" Applejack said. "Try as we might, us earth ponies can't do anything to get rid of them!" Applejack said. Gohan smash his fist into a treelike vine, breaking it. "This is insane! We have to get to the Everfree Forest! Get the Elements of Harmony, and- Oh, I should have brought Twilight." Gohan said. *** The rest of the Mane 6 were in the library, searching for the Elements of Harmony. Gohan was outside, destroying as many vines as he could. Twilight flew in, but was about to ram into her own house, so she teleported in. Didn't really work on Spike, and he got hurled at a window. "Oh thank goodness!" Rarity said. "I'm so sorry we went through your books without your permission!" Fluttershy said. Spike burst through the door. "Ground! Ground! Sweet, sweet ground!" He said, kissing the ground. "Okay, I get it! I need to work on my flying!" Twilight said. "Has Princess Celestia sent you to investigate?" Rarity asked. "Not exactly... You see, Princess Celestia is... Well... She and Princess Luna have..." Twilight said. "GONE MISSING!" Spike exclaimed. The rest of the Mane 6 gasped. "I don't know who's responsible, but I do know we need the Elements of Harmony to get them back!" Twilight said, putting each Element of Harmony on each pony. "We need to have an idea of what's happening before Equestria becomes plant food." Applejack said. "Any ideas?" She added. "Gohan suggested Discord... And considering the randomness, I'd say it's Discord again." Twilight said. *** The Mane 6 used their Elements of Harmony to summon Discord. Apparantly he was taking a bath. "Winter wrap up, Winter wra- Oh!" Discord said, grabbing a small towel to cover his torso. "Now Twilight, you know Princess Celestia said to give me a heads up before you summon me with that little spell she gave you." Discord said. "If you haven't noticed, I was in the middle of taking an amazing shower!" Discord said, bending his body towards Twilight, and shaking it. "Enough!" Twilight shouted, pushing Discord away. "Free Princess Celestia and Princess Luna, and st-" "Twilight, he's not responsible!" Gohan shouted. "And how do you know that!?" Twilight asked. "I understand the chaotic setting, but Discord's reformed." Gohan said. "Yeah, right!" Rainbow Dash said. "Would he risk being turned into stone again by either me or the Elements of Harmony?" Gohan asked. "Uh... I guess not." Rainbow Dash said. "Please fill me in, Gohan." Discord said, slithering around Gohan. "Well, as you can see, one of your favorite pastimes is occurring right now. Chaos. I know you love what we did with the place, but we don't know the culprit. All we know is that it's from the Everfree Forest. Now, we are going to POLITELY ask you, would you please share with us any idea about this?" Gohan asked. "Nope, sorry. Clueless." Discord said. "Alright." Gohan said. "Now hold on a second! He could be lying for all we know!" Applejack said. "Would I ever lie to you?" Discord asked with puppy dog eyes. "Yes!" Five of the Mane 6 shouted. "Um... Maybe?" Fluttershy said. "Well, it seems we're at an impasse. I'm telling the truth and you think I'm lying. What do friends do in a situation like this, Princess Twilight?" Discord asked, poking Twilight's crown. "Congrats, by the way, on the promotion you TOTALLY deserve it!" Discord said, wrapping his lion's arm around Twilight. "I say we BLAST him back to stone!" Rainbow Dash said. "I say we DON'T blast him to stone, and that we use him as help!" Gohan said. "Yeah, we can't do that!" Fluttershy said. "This is truly amazing! I almost killed this fellow, yet he's defending me." Discord said, pointing at Gohan. "I already forgave you for annoying me with those awful clones. Anyway, blasting him to stone will definitely do nothing but waste our time, and/or lose help!" Gohan said. "How?" The Mane 6 asked. "Discord possesses powerful magic. What do you mean 'How!?'!?" Gohan asked. "Besides, what if he really IS telling the truth?" Fluttershy asked. Discord had a halo appear above him. "The rest of you can learn a lesson from my dear friends Shutterfly and Han Solo." Discord said. "Uh... It's Fluttershy." Fluttershy said. "And Gohan...?" Gohan asked. "Oh right. Fluttershy and Gohan." Discord said, bringing the two in for a group hug. "So, will you help us investigate?" Gohan asked. "I suppose I could," Discord said, dropping the two and crossing his arms. "But after all the hoof pointing and besmirching my good name, I just don't know if I should do it!" Discord said, pulling out knitting needles and knitting the vines. "Why don't you ask your zebra friend?" Discord asked. "Alright, I'm just going to go in the Everfree Forest and destroy the source. This is driving me crazy." Gohan said, flying away. "Wait!" Twilight said. But he already left. Zecora appeared, dragging her belongings with her.
Gohan's Life through Season 4Season 4 was just great. Starting with the Power Ponies. *** The Mane 6, Spike and Gohan were all sucked into the comic book! Spike woke up, in an outfit, surprisingly. He was atop a building, in Maretropolis! It was also nighttime, and it was not a full moon. The ponies were walking all over the streets, the businesses were as busy as ever, and oddly enough, this is a fictional world in a fictional world. Brain hurt yet? "Somepony want to tell me what the hay is going on?" Applejack asked. "Me too! Why do I have these clothes?" Gohan asked. Spike turned around to see the changed Mane 6 and Gohan! Twilight was the Masked Matter-Horn! Pinkie Pie was Fili-Second! Rainbow Dash was Zapp! Rarity was Radiance! Applejack was Mistress Mare-velous! Fluttershy was Saddle Rager! Gohan was... He was Kid Goku. He even had the Power Pole on his back, and a tail. But his hairstyle did not change. Spike named everyone except Gohan. "Uh... What even changed about you?" Spike asked. "I don't have my weighted clothes, I have kung fu shoes, my tail, and for some reason, my dad's Power Pole." Gohan said, wiggling his tail. The Mane 6 all snickered. "T-The Power Pole? What's it do?" Rainbow Dash asked. "If I tell it to extend, it extends very far. Watch. Power Pole extend!" Gohan exclaimed. The Power Pole extended all the way to the moon. Now the Mane 6 burst out in laughter. "What's so funny?" Gohan asked, oblivious to what the Power Pole could be. "I-Its nothing... Hahahah!" Rainbow Dash said. Gohan told the Power Pole to retract. "Alright, so what's going on here?" Gohan asked. "You six are the Power Ponies!" Spike exclaimed. Suddenly, an explosion could be heard. Everyone looked from atop the building to see another building be exploded. From it, emerged many giant green hairs. Then there was a very dark blue pony. "Power Ponies!" She said before cackling. "How kind of you to join us!" She added, holding an orb in her hands. The Mane 6 all looked at each other with confused looks. This blue pony was the Mane-iac! She cackled madly. "Did she just call us the Power Ponies?" Applejack asked. "Y-You're the superheroes from my comic book! It somehow zapped us all in here!" Spike said. "Then somepony find a way out!" Rainbow Dash said. "My comic book... It said to get back where we started we have to defeat the Mane-iac!" Spike said. "So why don't we just have Gohan do it?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Why don't YOU guys with your newfound powers give it a shot?" Gohan retorted, pointing a finger at each of the Mane 6. "Time for the MANE event!" The Mane-iac said, using her very elongated mane to grab a pretzel stand and throw it at the eight. She missed, but startled the ponies. She then grabbed a mailbox and threw it at Pinkie Pie. It seemingly crushed her! "Pinkie! Where'd she go!?" Rainbow Dash asked. "WHEEE!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed, running super fast all over the buildings of Maretropolis. "She could be miles away from here by now! She's Fili-Second! Fastest pony in all of Maretropolis!" Spike explained. Applejack used her new lasso in an attempt to wrangle Mane-iac, but instead traps it around a lamppost. She tried pulling it back, but got pulled towards the lamppost and suddenly trapped herself. Applejack tried in vain to get out. The Mane-iac cackled in response. "Twilight! Freeze her mane!" Spike exclaimed. "Do what?" Twilight asked. "You're the Masked Matter-Horn! You can shoot all kinds of crazy things with your horn!" Spike exclaimed. Twilight tried to blast ice, but it only created a tiny snowflake. Which melted. "You know, I'm beginning to enjoy this!" Mane-iac exclaimed, cackling. The Power Ponies gasped as a fire hydrant was being sent their way. "Dash! Quick! You're Zapp, you can control the mighty forces of nature!" Spike exclaimed. "Unholster the lightning bolt!" Spike exclaimed. Rainbow Dash flew up and away, and held her lightning necklace up towards the sky! The clouds began to appear closer to Rainbow Dash, creating lightning. It created a tornado on top of the building. "LIGHTNING, NOT A TORNADO!" Spike exclaimed. The remaining Power Ponies were sucked into the tornado. Even Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie, who hilariously brought a tray of cupcakes. The Mane-iac used her mane to seat herself. "Fluttershy! You're Saddle Ranger! Lose your temper and become a super strong monster!" Spike exclaimed. "Oh gosh! That wouldn't be very polite!" Fluttershy exclaimed. "Rarity, use your diamonds to create an attack construct!" Spike said. "What is an attack construct!?" Rarity asked. "You can create anything! Your bracelet makes it appear!" Spike exclaimed. Rarity pointed her hoof and created a teapot and cups. Which were sequentially sent flying at Spike. "SOMETHING USEFUL!" Spike exclaimed. Spike was eventually flung at a wall. Spike noticed what the Mane-iac held in her mane. It was the Electro Orb! "Well! This has been quite a MANE raising experience, but I really must be going!" Mane-iac said before laughing. Spike attempted to steal the Electro Orb while she was distracted, but he tripped and made a loud noise. The Mane-iac picked up the Electro Orb with her mane. "Thank you, Hum Drum!" The Mane-iac yelled before taking off and cackling while she did. Spike inspected his new outfit. "I'm Hum Drum...?" He asked. The tornado sucked Spike back in again. "Applejack! You need to stop the tornado from destroying the city!" Spike exclaimed. "I would, but every time I move this lasso gets tighter!" Applejack exclaimed, and the lasso did get tighter. "You're psychically connected to it! Use it to go wherever you want it to go! And it will obey you!" Spike exclaimed. Applejack loosened the grip, releasing herself. She used her psychic lasso to lasso the tornado shut, making it explode and disappear. "That was fantastic!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed. All who were sucked into the tornado landed gently. Gohan flew down from the building and landed gently. "Wow, that went great." He said sarcastically. "Shut it, Gohan!" Rainbow Dash said. "Let me get this straight, we've been sucked into some sort of comic book world?" Applejack asked. "Technically, it's called Maretropolis. And if we want to get back to Ponyville, we have to stop the Mane-iac from using her doomsday device and destroy it!" Spike exclaimed. During all that, Rainbow Dash attempted to strike Gohan with lightning, which he dodged comedically. "No biggie. I was already awesome, and now we've got superpowers!" Rainbow Dash said. Spike sighed. "Almost all of us have superpowers." He muttered. "But you must have some sort of power, your character is wearing a cape!" Rarity said, lifting Spike's cape with a staff she constructed. "Yeah, for absolutely no reason. He's pretty much useless." Spike said. "Good thing you're not really Hum-Drum, then." Twilight reassured. "Yeah, good thing!" Spike said. Rainbow Dash stopped trying to zap Gohan with her lightning and landed on the ground. "So the six of us Power Ponies will take care of Mane-iac and it will get us back to Ponyville!" Rainbow Dash said. "Why don't we just have Gohan trail her? He's clearly a lot stronger than all of us combined. He wasn't fazed by a tornado!" Twilight said. "Why don't the superheroes take the Mane-iac on? Clearly she's your arch nemesis." Gohan said. "Yeah, plus it's more AWESOME that way!" Rainbow Dash said. "So, Spike. Where is the Mane-iac building her doomsday device?" Twilight asked. "Her top secret headquarters! But you better get there quick, the glowing orb she just stole is going to be used to power it up!" Spike said. "Alright, but Gohan's helping no matter what!" Rarity said. "Alright." Gohan said. "Lead the way, Spike!" Applejack said. "Then leave the rest to us!" Rainbow Dash said. Spike still didn't feel good being a powerless sidekick. *** The Power Ponies and the two others arrived at Mane-iac's Shampoo Factory. "Alright Power Ponies, here's the plan. Rarity, you-" "COME ON OUT MANE-IAC!" Rainbow Dash interrupted Twilight. Rainbow Dash was in front of a sign with a pony cleaning her hair. "Or the Power Ponies are coming in!" Rainbow Dash yelled. She then summoned lightning to destroy the sign. "So much for element of surprise." Twilight said. The Power Ponies trotted towards the entrance of the building. Spike seemed insecure, and Gohan noticed. "Spike, is something wrong?" He asked. "I don't want to be the sidekick, I want to be a hero!" Spike exclaimed. "All heroes need a sidekick. If not, they'll be doomed without them!" Gohan reassured. "Yeah, right." Spike said, walking towards the building with the Power Ponies. Gohan followed. Rainbow Dash was still zapping the sign. "Maybe nobody's home. We'll just come back later." Fluttershy said. Then cackling could be heard. "She's home." Rarity said. The building opened with a horde of stallions ready to fight. "Time to Power Pony-" Applejack said before Gohan sequentially blasted them all with a shockwave from his palm, knocking them out. "Oh come on! Let us use our powers for ONCE!" Rainbow Dash said. "Sorry! Sorry! I just acted on instinct, I'll let you guys handle the next ones!" Gohan said. "Well, that makes it easier, I guess. Alright Power Ponies, let's take care of the Mane-iac!" Twilight said. The Mane-iac suddenly appeared. "I don't know about that! I have a city to destroy! And I'm not about to let the Power Ponies stop me! NOT THIS TIME!" The Mane-iac exclaimed. "Just you watch!" Rainbow Dash said, charging at the Mane-iac. The Mane-iac pulled out a giant hair spray can. "The hair spray ray of doom! It stops you in your tracks and renders your powers useless!" Spike exclaimed. The Mane-iac sprayed the incoming Rainbow Dash, completely stopping her. She even landed without moving an inch. "We'll just see about that!" Rarity said. Rarity, Applejack, Twilight and Pinkie Pie all charged at the Mane-iac. Twilight shot a freeze blast, but to no avail. The Mane-iac sprayed the four of them, stopping them. Fluttershy hid behind a mailbox, while Spike was actually inside it. The Mane-iac sprayed her and took her with her mutated mane. "D-Don't spray me!" Spike said. The Mane-iac cackled. "Oh when would I ever use the hair spray of of doom on you, Hum Drum?" She asked. More of the Mane-iac's henchmen appeared and attempted to drag the Power Ponies inside the facility. Until Gohan stepped in. He blasted them all with ki blasts, knocking them out. "Alright, that's enough!" Gohan shouted. "And what's monkey going to do about it!?" The Mane-iac shouted, spraying Gohan with the spray. She cackled. Gohan had a ki barrier around him so he wouldn't be affected by it. "And what was that supposed to do?" He asked. The Mane-iac was shocked as the spray didn't work. Gohan immediately kicked the Mane-iac square in the face. "Impossible! You shouldn't posses such power!" The Mane-iac screamed. Then, Gohan had a great idea to boost Spike. "Spike, I need your help on this one!" Gohan shouted. "What?" Spike asked. "I need you to help me defeat the Mane-iac!" He shouted. "What is it?" Spike asked, rushing to Gohan's side. "You may not know, Mane-iac, but Hum Drum has super strength!" Gohan exclaimed. Spike was confused himself. "What!? He does not!" The Mane-iac shouted. "Oh yeah?" Gohan asked. Gohan put his hand on Spike's back, and gave him a HUGE cup of temporary ki. Spike was shocked as to the immense energy he felt! He actually felt like a superhero! "Why doesn't he hit you himself?" Gohan asked. "Oh yes, please hit me! I'm wide open!" The Mane-iac said, cackling. Spike ran up to her, jumped and punched her square in the chest. The Mane-iac was pushed back, actually. "W-What!? Impossible! How could he attain such strength!?" The Mane-iac asked. Gohan was fast enough to put Spike behind the Mane-iac's head, on her back, and put himself in front of her. "ATTACK!" He yelled, throwing barrages of punches and kicks at the Mane-iac. Spike's punches and kicks ACTUALLY did damage, and prevented the Mane-iac from potentially escaping the duo's combination! Still, the attacks were mediocre, but they did something. The ground began to rise from the sheer power of the attacks. "Spike! Grab on to her back!" Gohan yelled. Spike stopped his assault and hung on to her back. Gohan grabbed the Mane-iac by her chest, and flew up with the other two. He then began to fall back down to the ground with the Mane-iac, spinning while they did so. Spike became dead weight in order to increase the damage dealt. As the Mane-iac's head was smashed into the street, she was able to stay on the ground. She stood up, but couldn't even move properly. Gohan put Spike on his back. "Ready?" He asked. "Ready!" Spike exclaimed. Gohan immediately went up to the Mane-iac's stomach and began to pummel her at blinding speeds. He finished with a heavy roundhouse axe kick which smashed the Mane-iac away while smashing the ground too. He jumped up and unleashed a Kamehameha wave on her! "TOGETHER!" He screamed. "HA!" Gohan and Spike yelled, with Gohan blasting the Mane-iac and her mane to oblivion. "NOOOOOOOOOoooooooooo......." The Mane-iac screamed as she died. Spike's power boost wore off. "That... Was... SO COOL!" Spike exclaimed. Gohan chuckled. "I take it that you liked being the hero for once?" He asked. "I was still the sidekick, but you gave me all those powers, and I was able to beat her up with you! That was so awesome!" Spike exclaimed. "Hold on, one more thing." Gohan said. Gohan destroyed the building with a powerful blast. "The day has been saved by-" Spike said, before he, Gohan and the Power Ponies were sucked into the sky. The Mane 6, Spike and Gohan no longer had their new features. Gohan even lost his tail! (Don't worry, It'll be back.) The Mane 6 were able to move again. "That was awesome! Gohan and Spike, they were like 'bamabamabam!' And the Mane-iac lost like 'NOOOOOOOO'" Rainbow Dash exclaimed. "Well, I couldn't have stoped Mane-iac without him. He did keep her from escaping." Gohan said, looking down at Spike. Spike chuckled. "Yeah, I felt like I had superpowers!" He said. *** And then Rainbow Dash received training from Gohan. *** "Come on, I really want to become faster than you!" Rainbow Dash begged. The two were at Gohan's shack. "But you're requesting the EXACT same training I had originally received, and that's WAY too harsh. I'll tone it down for you, because you won't be able to survive." Gohan said. "Whatever! I'll take what I can get!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed. "Just no fighting me AT ALL. Not again!" Gohan said. "Aw... Really? I really wanted to test my skills after a while!" Rainbow Dash whined. "You got put in the hospital afterwards! Unless I sense extreme power brimming from you, you cannot battle me." Gohan said. "Ugh. Fine. Just tell me what I have to do." Rainbow Dash said. "For now, exercise. I will need to study on martial arts for ponies. However, we sill still endure rigorous training." Gohan stated firmly. "Alright, I'm game!" Rainbow Dash said. *** Gohan had Rainbow Dash pick up her saddlebags. "So, any particular reason why we need these?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Yep. We will amp things up as time passes, but for now these will be your weights." Gohan said, putting a few moderate sized rocks in her saddlebags. It did make her sweat, but she could walk normally and do everything she normally could. It was just twice as hard. "A-Alright, I think I can handle it." She said. "So today will be just a warmup. We're going to do plenty of push-ups and running to boost the strength and speed of your hooves." Gohan explained. "Okay, think I can handle that. Anything with these babies?" Rainbow Dash asked, fluttering her wings. "Possibly. You may need them. But, if you do that on your own time, then keep doing that there." Gohan said. So they did push-ups and running for about an hour before Rainbow Dash decided to call it a day. "Alright, I'll look up pony martial arts for tomorrow." Gohan said. "See you!" Rainbow Dash said, flying away. *** "Okay, I gathered as much as I could from the library. Apparently nobody has used these in a very long time. Plenty of centuries have passed since ponies have mastered martial arts, mainly because of it's difficulty. It will be easier for you, because you're a pegasus." Gohan said. "Alright, so what do I have to do?" Rainbow Dash asked. "You need to stand only on your backhooves. Like I stand on my two feet." Gohan said. "Um... That's really hard." Rainbow Dash said. "Use your wings. It's a lot easier for you, since you can use your wings just the right amount to keep half your body in the air, yet not enough to lift your whole body." Gohan said. "Well, that makes it easier!" Rainbow Dash said. https://derpicdn.net/img/2014/2/12/550165/full.gif "Great. Your stance is perfect for evading low attacks, but we need to master movement. For now, we will power up every one of your hooves by running on all fours. When you master this stance, with or without your wings, we will power up your forehooves with plenty of push-ups, while powering up your backhooves with plenty of squats." Gohan said. "Sounds good." Rainbow Dash said. Gohan began to train Rainbow Dash in martial arts once she could master movement in her stance. She could even jump! But she wasn't able to keep her stance without her wings. "For your first lesson, I will show you the common mistakes fighters make. Now, tell me what's wrong with this strike?" Gohan asked, swinging his fist with plenty of strength, but it was heavy so he took a lot more time before he could guard again. "Uh... I don't see it." Rainbow Dash said. "I punched the air with too much force. When I do that, I'm really open to attacks. So, you shouldn't swing at your opponents with full force at all times. Using your Sonic Rainboom is an example of what you really shouldn't do in a fight, despite how much damage it can do." Gohan said. "Alright. So how do I show my awesome moves without getting jumped?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Swift, but not too forceful strikes are key. You need to attack, yet have the ability to guard, attack again or dodge as quickly as possible." Gohan said. "For example, look at this." Gohan said. Gohan punched the air, but instantly pulled his fist back. He did it pretty slowly, but it was visible enough for Rainbow Dash to understand. "I was able to react to any incoming attack in that interval because of how swift my attack was. However, you can't be too weak in delivering the attacks." Gohan said. "When can I really dish out all of my strength?" Rainbow Dash asked. "If your opponent happens to be huge, or incredibly slow, then that's a good start. However, against an enemy like an average pony, you have to somehow immobilize them, or strike when their own attacks create gaping openings." Gohan said. "So... Unleash my full power when they're really open?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Not full power, but a good amount. Going full power would exhaust you much faster than you weakening the opponent with weaker strikes over time. It's all about patience." Gohan said. They spent a long time on training, as Rainbow Dash had a lot to learn. *** Discord did help Gohan train, hilariously. *** "GIVE ME BACK MY FATHER'S GI!" Gohan shouted. They were at Fluttershy's cottage, and Discord decided to change Gohan's attire. It was Piccolo's attire. "Discord, be nice and give Gohan his gi back." Fluttershy said. "Oh, but doesn't it bring back so many memories, Gohan?" Discord asked, slithering around Gohan. "Yes. Horrible, horrible memories." Gohan said, angrily. "Why?" Fluttershy asked. "The person who wore this threw me at a plateau for my first lesson! A freaking plateau!" Gohan said. "Give me back my gi!" He shouted. Discord appeared extremely smaller on top of Gohan's shoulder. "You're no fun." He said, reverting his gi back to it's original. "If you're so good at changing clothes, can you make mine heavier?" Gohan asked as Discord flew off his shoulder and went back to his normal size. "I suppose, how much heavier?" Discord asked. "Make it ten." Gohan said. "Over four thousand, huh?" Discord asked. "D-Don't go overboard, Gohan!" Fluttershy exclaimed. "Don't worry, I need to get a lot stronger. I've already handled 100x normal gravity." Gohan said. "Consider it done." Discord said, snapping his fingers. Gohan's gi was now 4300 kilos! "Alright, thanks! That makes up for you changing my gi." Gohan sneered. "Oh, that works out." Discord said. *** Then Flutterbat did not last long. *** "That isn't Fluttershy, that's Flutterbat!" Rarity exclaimed. The Mane 6, Spike and Gohan were at Sweet Apple Acres. Apparently, the fruit bats were consuming Applejack's apples during harvest season. The fruit bats were relieved of their appetite for apples, but resulted in Fluttershy being a mutated bat herself. She feasted on the apples. Nobody knew who devoured the apples. She just transformed again, and now the truth was revealed. Flutterbat attempted to fly away. ...But Gohan flew up and delivered a chop to her neck, knocking her out. *** The tryouts for the Equestria Games had a little drama, but Ponyville pulled through in the end. *** Gohan was selected to be part of Ponyville's relay team, much to his dismay. Fluttershy was going to drag him over there no matter what! She was in front of his shack. "Why did Rainbow Dash have to pick me!? Come on!" Gohan whined. "Now Gohan, she wants you to join us since you're her instructor." Fluttershy said. "Ugh. Do I really have to go?" Gohan whined. "Yes. Wouldn't you please, please, PLEASE come?" Fluttershy asked with puppy dog eyes. "....Alright, I'll come." Gohan said. "Yay." Fluttershy said. *** Now Gohan, Fluttershy, Angel and Rainbow Dash were in a secluded location just outside Ponyville. "Alright pony and person! Listen up!" Rainbow Dash commanded. "We're all ears. Right Gohan?" Fluttershy asked. "Yes ma'am." Gohan said, straight at attention, with a smile. "I don't like your attitude!" Rainbow Dash said. Gohan gave Rainbow Dash a death stare. "Uh... Nevermind. Anyway, it's going to take a lot to get us to the Equestria Games! We are the aerial relay team, and it's up to us to make sure we qualify at the tryouts. And do I need to remind you how much I- I mean, Ponyville wants to qualify and make it into the games?" Rainbow Dash asked. "I remember! I really, really want to qualify for you, and Ponyville." Fluttershy said. "I want to qualify for everyone in Ponyville!" Gohan beamed. "Give me an E for Ponyville!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed, suddenly appeared in a cheerleaders outfit. She pulled out a megaphone. "YAAAAAY PONYVIIIIILE!" Pinkie Pie screamed, startling Fluttershy. "E!" Gohan screamed, actually knocking Pinkie Pie away. "Thanks Pinkie Pie! That was a scary- I mean, big cheer!" Fluttershy said. "Just make sure you have what it takes when we QUALIFY for the aerial relay." Rainbow Dash said. "With a gold medal, I presume?" Gohan asked. "Not so fast!" Applejack said, pulling a cart. "You're gonna be good? You're gonna be better with my Apple Brown Bettys in ya!" Applejack said. "They're perfect!" Applejack said. Gohan rushed to the cart. "Can I have one!?" He asked, holding up a finger. "Yes you can! Come on Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash!" Applejack said. Gohan wolfed one down in an instant. Then Pinkie Pie appeared inside the cart, shouting: "P IS PERFECT!" Applejack and Fluttershy were snacking on one as well, while Rainbow Dash facehoofed. "Alright team!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed. This put Gohan and Fluttershy at attention. "Show me what ya got!" Rainbow Dash said. "Put some bend into those knees!" Rainbow Dash commanded. Fluttershy and Gohan bent their knees. "Flap those wings!" Rainbow Dash commanded. Fluttershy flapped her wings. "And I want to see all four hooves off the ground on the count of three! ........ONETWOTHREE!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed. Fluttershy and Gohan hovered over the ground. "Alright!" Rainbow Dash said. *** Now the Mane 6, Spike and Gohan were on a train to Rainbow Falls. "It was nice of you to be part of the team without the strongest flyers." Twilight said. "Nothing nice about it! I can pick up the slack for anypony. Put me on the team, and we'll qualify. I'm sure of it." Rainbow Dash bragged. "Ponyville's lucky to have you. And Gohan." Twilight said. "Yeah, I'm awesome." Rainbow Dash said. "I am so proud to representing Ponyville. It's such an honor to even try out for the games! I just hope I don't let anypony down." Fluttershy said. "Don't worry. You're a good flyer, especially after the training I put you through." Gohan said, referring to the group tornado. "You'll make everyone proud." He added. "P IS FOR PROUD!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed. "WE'RE GOING TO BE THE BEST STAND THAT ANYPONY HAS EVER SEEN!" Pinkie Pie shouted. "I can't wait to see what everypony else is wearing. Even though I'm sure they WON'T be better than the Ponyville uniform for the Equestria Games..." Rarity said. "I'm not wearing it, am I?" Gohan asked. "Oh heavens, no. It will take me extra weeks to figure that out." Rarity said. "Alright, good." Gohan said. "And we WILL make it to the games after everyone snacks on my Apple Brown Bettys!" Applejack said, holding out an Apple Brown Betty. Gohan wolfed it down immediately, causing everyone else to laugh. "I CAN'T WAIT!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed. *** They were finally at Rainbow Falls, where there were waterfalls of rainbows. The team, along with Ponyville's spectators were walking by the training area. Rainbow Dash received some attention. "That's Rainbow Dash! She's an awesome flyer!" A stallion pointed out. "I heard she's flying the second third of the relay!" A mare said. As Gohan set up the Ponyville station, the Wonderbolts flew overhead. "The Wonderbolts!" A stallion pointed out. "I hear they're flying for Cloudsdale!" A mare said. "Then Cloudsdale will definitely qualify. They're the best flyers EVER!" A mare said. The Wonderbolts landed beside the Ponyville team. "And the game is on!" Spitfire said. "Huh, nice to see there's some real competition here!" Soarin said, moving his goggles away from his eyes to reveal his green eyes. "Two more days of practice, and we'll see you in the air, Rainbow Dash!" Fleetfoot said. "If you're lucky." She added. "Oh, we are. We have me, and Gohan." Rainbow Dash bragged, pointing her hoof at Gohan, who was doing one arm push-ups for lack of training today. "That's the same kid who spectated at the academy, right?" Spitfire asked. "Yep!" Rainbow Dash said, then inching towards Spitfire's ear. "Between you and me, he's wearing 4300 kilos, and he's still faster than me." Rainbow Dash whispered. "I told you not to tell anyone!" Gohan exclaimed, much to Rainbow Dash's surprise. "Wow, seems like you have quite the team!" Spitefire said. "See you later." She added, and the Wonderbolts trotted away. Twilight trotted up to beside Rainbow Dash. "The Wonderbolts know a winner when they see one. And we'll be winners as soon as we practice!" Rainbow Dash bragged. "Right team!?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Right." Fluttershy said. "Already on it!" Gohan said, continuing to count. He was on 760. "HOORAY!" Pinkie Pie yelled, blowing into a party favor. "And, um... I'm with her! Hooray!" Twilight said. Then, there were the cheerleaders for Cloudsdale. Pinkie Pie gasped. "WHERE CAN I GET POM POMS LIKE THOSES!?" She asked. *** "So, do I need to remind you what our goal is here?" Rainbow Dash asked, flying. "To win the Equestria Games?" Gohan asked. "That, and we WANT to qualify! We need to be one of the four teams to cross the finish line." Rainbow Dash said. "B-But what if one of us are injured?" Fluttershy asked. "I came prepared! Senzu beans! Got 8 right here." Gohan said, patting his little baggie. "Alright, Fluttershy, you're up first! Let me see you flap!" Rainbow Dash said. Fluttershy flew in the air, and began to pick up speed. Until Applejack tossed an Apple Brown Betty at her. "Sorry! Got the idea from them!" Applejack said, pointing a hoof at the Cloudsdale chefs. They were using contraptions to toss their foods into the air for the Wonderbolts. And they did a fine job. "It looks like they got better aim." Applejack said. "...Okay, anyway! The passing of the baton needs to be as quick as possible! You shouldn't miss a wingbeat, or drop a hair in attitude! And whatever you do, don't let go of it!" Rainbow Dash said, putting the horseshoe baton on Fluttershy's hoof. "10,000! Alright, now..." Gohan said, flying up to Fluttershy. "Are you sure you can take it? I want to be really, really sure that you're ready." Fluttershy said. "Yes." Gohan said. Fluttershy held her hoof out, and Gohan grabbed the horseshoe. "Alright, seems good enough. Hey, Rainbow, think fast!" Gohan said, lightly tossing the horseshoe to Rainbow Dash. Rainbow Dash caught it. "Was that a joke?" She asked. "It was your reflexes." Gohan said. *** "Watch, the Wonderbolts are the best flyers there are!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed. "And my personal heroes." Rainbow Dash said. "SO! Maybe you can learn something!" Rainbow Dash said. "My personal hero is my dad." Gohan said. Now they looked upwards at the flyer, Soarin. "Come on, Soarin! Pick up the pace! You can do better than that!" Fleetfoot exclaimed. "Sure hope so." Spitfire said, who was getting a hoof massage. Soarin got a little too ahead of himself, and hit his wing on a hoop! He was about to crash land at high speeds, he'd certainly die! Rainbow Dash came to the rescue, carrying him on her back. "Gotcha!" She said. They landed, and Soarin's wing was really busted. Everyone cheered for Rainbow Dash. "That was awesome!" Fleetfoot said. "As good as any Wonderbolt." Spitfire said. "Oh, Rainbow Dash, I'm so proud of you! You scooped Soarin out of the sky, and brought him down to the ground! Now, now he's okay. At least, I hope he's okay. Are you okay?" Fluttershy asked. "Ah, well my wing hurts!" Soarin said. The other two Wonderbolts were not happy to hear this. "But I'm sure it'll be okay by the competition." Soarin said. But, the paramedics came, taking Soarin. "You're the best, Rainbow Dash." Soarin said. "Aw, it was nothing." Rainbow Dash said. "But if you want to keep talking about how great I am, don't let me stop you!" She added as the paramedics took Soarin away. "Tough break that they took a teammate before the tryouts." Rainbow Dash said. Spitfire and Fleetfoot looked at each other, and got the same idea. "You know..." Fleetfoot said, putting her sunglasses on. "You grew up in Cloudsdale." She added. "So that means you can fly with us." Spitfire said. "Fly?" Rainbow Dash asked. Gohan heard it all. 'Oh come on, Rainbow. Don't do it.' He thought. "We mean practice. You can practice with us until Soarin's better." Fleetfoot said. "What'dya say? Want to be our third?" Spitfire asked. "Uh... I don't know. My team will need the to be our best in order to qualify." Rainbow Dash said. "Don't want to be too worn out by the time the race comes around." She added. "We put you through plenty of intense workouts at the Wonderbolts Academy, and you went through those just fine." Spitfire said. "I did kick some major tail at the academy. But I don't know how my team will feel if I practice with the competition." Rainbow Dash said. "Who says they need to know?" Fleetfoot asked. She grabbed Rainbow Dash's face. "Think about it, Rainbow Dash. This is your chance to fly with the winners." She added. Rainbow Dash looked back at Gohan and Fluttershy. Gohan was doing sit-ups while Fluttershy was cheering him on. "...Alright, I'll do it." Rainbow Dash said. 'Come on, Rainbow!' Gohan thought as he did sit-ups. "Wise decision, Rainbow Dash." Spitfire said. *** Rainbow Dash practiced with the Wonderbolts more than she did with her own team. Despite Gohan's excellence, Fluttershy was almost a lost cause. She couldn't do her wing-ups. But, Gohan was helping her. "You keep doing your wing-ups, I'm going to get some water." Rainbow Dash said, flying away. That was only one instance of her backing out. Then, when eating for break, she even went off without eating a single Apple Brown Betty, while Gohan was devouring them all. Rainbow Dash went to fly with the Wonderbolts again. She got her hooves shined, she even got a uniform! ...While Gohan and Fluttershy were playing dress up with Rarity. Gohan was actually having fun dressing as a princess, or so he called it. Don't get the wrong idea, he's not becoming that. *** Rainbow Dash took a break from practice, and went to drink some water from the lake. "Rainbow Dash, why are you flying with the Wonderbolts?" Gohan asked. Rainbow Dash spit her water out. "Y-You know?" She asked. "I know? I heard it myself!" Gohan said. "Does anypony else know?" Rainbow Dash asked. "No, that'd upset Fluttershy." Gohan said. "If you see me and the other teams practicing, we're still gonna qualify." Rainbow Dash said. "I can fly fast enough to make up the difference." She added. "Yes, but Fluttershy needs help practicing, and I'm no wing expert!" Gohan said. "But it's so much fun to fly with the winners than the... Well, non winners." Rainbow Dash said. "We're not winners to you?" Gohan asked, a little hurt. "N-No, forget I said that. Ponyville will still qualify." Rainbow Dash said. Spitfire and Fleetfoot landed nearby. "Rainbow Dash, you got a minute?" Spitfire asked. 'Oh no.' Gohan thought. "Uh, sure." Rainbow Dash said, flying away. "You're really an asset to the team, so... We want you to join the Cloudsdale team. Permanently." Fleetfoot said. Rainbow Dash gasped in excitement. "It looks like Soarin's wing won't heal for the tryouts, and we want you to fly with us." Spitfire said, wrapping a hoof around Rainbow Dash said. "This does mean you can't fly for Ponyville. But let's face it, with a wingless monkey and her around, your chances of entering the game are pretty slim." Fleetfoot said. The three watched as Fluttershy flew through the hoops rather slowly. "So, what'll it be?" Spitfire asked. "Well... I, uh..." Rainbow Dash stuttered. "Take some time to think about it." Spitfire said, flying away with Fleetfoot. Rainbow Dash flew circles around Gohan. "They want ME to fly with THEM! It's like a dream come true!" Rainbow Dash said as she laid down. "So, you'll fly for Cloudsdale? Leaving behind the team?" Gohan asked. "But I really want to fly with the BEST team! What would you do if someone like THEM offered you a spot on their team?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Considering you're a fan, I'd still say no! Ugh, if you want to go join them, fine. We won't enter." Gohan said, walking away. "You better decide soon, the race is tomorrow." He added. Now Rainbow Dash felt bad. Would she really abandon her friends and their work just to be with another team? *** "Oh, OH WOE IS ME!" Rainbow Dash cried. She rolled up to the training field with so many bandages, and in a wheechair! "What happened!?" Fluttershy asked. Gohan facepalmed. "Oh, I've hurt my hoof!" Rainbow Dash said. 'What about the other places, huh!?' Gohan thought. Everyone else gasped. Spitfire inspected Rainbow Dash. "All hooves?" Spitfire asked. "Let's get her to the hospital, NOW!" Gohan shouted. He still knew Rainbow Dash was bluffing. *** Now Rainbow Dash was in a hospital bed, and couldn't move her hooves or wings. Or, she just didn't. All but one friend left Rainbow Dash after a visit. Gohan. "Come on, why did you fake it?" Gohan whispered. "I couldn't decide!" Rainbow Dash whispered. Just then, a curtain next to Rainbow Dash opened. "You sure have nice friends. Nobody visits me." Soarin said. "They're too busy practicing, I guess." Soarin said. "Well, hopefully your wing will be better soon." Rainbow Dash said. "Oh, it's fine. I'm just keeping it warm in case my team wants me back." Soarin said. "What do you mean, wants you back? Spitfire and Fleetfoot told me you were too injured to fly." Rainbow Dash said. "And they told me that they worried that I wouldn't be at 100% during the tryouts! So they were going with somepony else." Soarin said. "I think we pieced it together." Gohan said. "Yeah, that somepony else was me!" Rainbow Dash said. "W-Well, until I got hurt, that is." Rainbow Dash corrected. "Well, I guess we're both out of luck. Cloudsdale won't qualify without three flyers, and Ponyville won't qualify without you!" Soarin said. "Too bad..." Soarin said. Rainbow Dash inspected a dropped flag on the floor. She knew what she had to do now. "Gohan, senzu bean." Rainbow Dash said. "Senzu bean?" Gohan asked. "Senzu bean." Rainbow Dash said. "Senzu bean!" Gohan shouted, seemingly throwing a senzu bean with all his might! ...But actually lightly tossing it. Rainbow Dash unbandaged herself. "Whoa, you're okay!" Soarin said. "Take one too, you'll be 100% with this." Gohan said, tossing a senzu bean to Soarin. *** The three were walking to the training field. Rainbow Dash and Soarin had no bandages. "Is that Rainbow Dash... Walking?" Twilight asked. Spitfire and Fleetfoot noticed Rainbow Dash, with Soarin too. "Does this mean you're feeling better?" Fleetfoot asked. "I feel great, because of a senzu bean." Rainbow Dash said with a smirk. "Senzu bean!" Gohan yelled, throwing a senzu bean at Rainbow Dash, who tossed it back. "But now I know if I'll be flying with Ponyville or Cloudsdale." Rainbow Dash said. "I know now who I should have been loyal to." She added. "Good choice, Rainbow Dash. Always stick with the winners." Spitfire said. "Ponyville." Rainbow Dash said, much to Spitfire and Fleetfoot's shock. "Because it's not just where I live, but it's where my friends are. The ponies and person who care about me." Rainbow Dash said. The Ponyville team cheered. "...Are you sure about that?" Spitfire asked. "You lied to me about Soarin's wing just so you could get a better flyer!" Rainbow Dash said, pointing at Soarin, who was also displeased. "And how dare you call Gohan, who's saved your flank on numerous occasions, a wingless monkey!?" She yelled. "SHE DID WHAT!?" Pinkie Pie asked. Pinkie Pie was charging at Spitfire, but Gohan intervened and put her in a full nelson. "I'M GONNA RIP HER TO SHREDS AND EVI-" "Calm down!" Gohan interrupted. "You may be a winning team, but you're still not the kind of team I want to be a part of." Rainbow Dash said. "...Huh. Rainbow Dash. You are something. Saw you at the academy, see you again here. We can learn a lot from a competitor like you." Spitfire said. "Think we already have." Fleetfoot said. *** The Wonderbolts on the Cloudsdale team just won a spot at the Equestria Games! Now it was Ponyville's turn to try out. "Gohan, go Super Saiyan, and full speed for this one!" Rainbow Dash whispered. "Alright." Gohan said, turning Super Saiyan. The ponies were amazed by Gohan's ability. Now, they were flying. Fluttershy made it through the hoops, nice and steady. Only ten seconds later, Rainbow Dash took the horseshoe, and flew SUPER fast at Gohan. There was thirty five seconds left. "LET'S GO FLUTTERSHY AND RAINBOW DASH!" Pinkie Pie and Twilight screamed. Rainbow Dash passed the horseshoe to Gohan. Thirty seconds left. Gohan darted at full speed, going through the rings and sequentially flying through the goal. His yellow aura made it even cooler to watch. The timer stopped. "17 seconds! A new record! Ponyville qualifies!" The coach said. Gohan stopped in mid-air. Even the Wonderbolts couldn't help but look at Gohan's aura. "What is he!?" Spitfire yelled. Gohan grinned, and powered up, making his aura larger. "I AM A SUPER SANDWICH!" He screamed, before reverting back to base form. Everyone cheered that Ponyville made it in. Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy gave Gohan a big hug for winning. With a new record, too! Equestria Games, here they came! *** The Rainbow Falls Traders Exchange went perfectly. *** The Mane 6, Spike and Gohan all had things to exchange with! Well, Gohan only had senzu beans and some weighted clothes. ...That were too heavy. So he didn't bring much to trade for. "I am just so pumped for the exchange!" Rainbow Dash said. "Why?" Gohan asked with a smile. "Well, I can trade something for ANYTHING super cool!" Rainbow Dash said. "Like what, some first edition Daring Do book or something?" Gohan asked. "Actually, yes! There's a pony with a sign that says she has the first edition of Daring Do, EVER!" Rainbow Dash said, before squealing. "I... I have no words." Gohan said. "I have all the first editions of the Daring Do books except this one! I'm going to complete the collection!" Rainbow Dash said. "Well... I hope you do!" Gohan said. "Well... I hope it hasn't been traded yet. It's the only one in all of Equestria!" Rainbow Dash said. "Oh no! I really hate to see you disappointed..." Fluttershy said. She pulled a bear call out of her wing. "I was going to trade this bear call for a bird whistle, but getting that book is so important to you. So if you need any help..." Fluttershy said. "Normally I'd say I don't need any help, but you're right! This is very important! I've gotta get that book!" Rainbow Dash said, taking off with Fluttershy. "I have never seen anyone else as kind as her, heh." Gohan said. "Well, I'm off to take a gander at some of the vintage stalls." Applejack said, trotting away with a sack on her back. "Did you say vintage?" Rarity asked before taking her saddlebag and following Applejack. "Well... Now there's the three of us." Gohan said. "I have to get rid of some these books. Ever since I became a princess, Princess Celestia has been sending me tons more books to read! The library's overflowing!" Twilight said, setting up her stand. "Alright..." Gohan said. "I'm staying here!" Pinkie Pie said. "Well, I'm going to see if anyone wants a too heavy wristband." Gohan said, walking away. "Have fun!" Twilight said. *** Gohan was walking around for what felt like HOURS. He couldn't find anything interesting! Books, flowers, lamps, Daring Do stuff, Greek mythology pets, crystal chalices, nothing! He was just about ready to walk back to Twilight's stand before he saw something interesting. Or, somewhat interesting, at least. A rice cooker! The mare who ran the stand, with a purple mane and yellow coat, didn't have much either. "Hello, ma'am?" Gohan asked. "Would you happen to want this dumb old rice cooker?" The mare asked in a depressing tone. "Yes." Gohan said. The mare was surprised, then had a happy face. "What do you have?" She asked. "Wristbands weighing 150 kilos, shirts weighing 1000 kilos, and boots weighing 1500 kilos." Gohan said. "Uh.... Hm... I'd trade you for... If you happen to have something else..." She said. "Magical beans that can restore your stamina, get rid of ailments and wounds?" Gohan asked, dropping a pouch on the table. "And how do I know they're real?" She asked. Gohan sighed. He broke his own arm, again! "H-Hang on, I didn't-" She said, before Gohan ate the bean. His arm was restored. "Any more proof?" Gohan asked. "Nope! Take the rice cooker, it's yours!" She said, taking the bag of senzu beans. Gohan now had a rice cooker! A good trade indeed! So he was now finished and began to walk back to Twilight's bookstand. ...Just after Pinkie Pie's reckless 'sale' ended. "You got a rice cooker...?" Twilight asked. "It's better than standing there having to mix the rice unless you want it sticking to the pot. Oh wait, I still have to do that." Gohan said. *** The Equestria Games were just great, too. *** Team Ponyville was on a train to the Equestria Games! All sorts of ponies were training in their own respective ways. Bulk Biceps and Gohan were weightlifting, while Gohan did practice movement at the same time. Pegasi like Fluttershy were flying or doing wing-ups. Spike was in charge of... Well, the checklist. The Cutie Mark Crusaders were practicing their cheerleading. "Listen up, gang, we're almost there, and I have a few things to say." Rainbow Dash said. "First off, who here besides me thinks this is the best Equestria Games delegation in Ponyville history!?" She asked. Everyone cheered, saying yes. "And no matter what your sport is, we gotta give it our best! Because we've all got a shot at Ponyville gold!" Rainbow Dash said. Everyone cheered again. "...With the possible exception of Bulk Biceps, Fluttershy, Gohan and me." Rainbow Dash said. "Which means we're good and all, but we're up against the Wonderbolts in the aerial relays." Rainbow Dash said. "I said I'd go full speed for you already." Gohan said. "I know, but I don't want to ruin their reputation..." Rainbow Dash said. "Don't you think that beating them would win you a spot on the Wonderbolts?" Gohan asked. "...Yeah, that's right! Then I can finally become a Wonderbolt!" Rainbow Dash said. "So, nevermind her saying we don't have to try." Gohan said. "Winners or not, you can still be awesome!" Scootaloo said. "Did ya hear that everypony? Winners or not, we still have the chance to be awesome!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed. Everyone cheered. "But, uh, let's still try to win lots of stuff, okay?" Rainbow Dash asked. Everyone went back to training! Well, not Gohan... He did his training at 700x normal gravity that morning, but whatever. As long as he's doing what his father does, he doesn't care. *** Long story short, Gohan won the gold medal. For every event. He actually entered in every event. He actually set a new damn record for gold medals won, damn it! *** Those were the parts Gohan was mostly present in. Other than that, he just said a few words, and that would be as boring as ever. Now, it's time to face.... Not Tirek?
Galactic Crisis Pt. 1"HA!" Gohan yelled, charging his sword with ki. It glowed yellow. He was in the gravity chamber at 710x normal gravity. "ATATATATA!" He yelled as he swung the sword at lightning speeds. The extra weight, included with the intense gravity provided good training for Gohan. He was doing great! Until he sensed five mind boggling ki signatures. He stopped training immediately. He turned off the gravity machine, and ran outside. "What the heck is that...?" He asked. Twilight and Spike came running to Gohan. "Gohan, you need to rush to Canterlot. Princess Celestia needs you!" Twilight exclaimed. *** Gohan rushed into the throne room. "Thank goodness you arrived early. Five unknown enemies have been terrorizing Equestria." Celestia said. "I felt it. But just who is it?" Gohan asked. "We do not know, but we request that you destroy this ever increasing threat. Ponies have actually been murdered." Luna said. "R-Really!?" Gohan asked. "I'm afraid so." Celestia said. Gohan clenched his fists. "I'm going to destroy them!" He yelled as he ran out the throne room. "Hopefully he is able to defeat this threat..." Luna said. *** Gohan flew to the closest town which had a huge ki. It was Appleloosa. An orange haired, teal being was terrorizing the town. He possessed orange hair, a purple headband, a necklace, a black shirt which revealed his pecs, a red sash, a belt, purple pants and a sword. https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/villains/images/a/a4/Kogu_Art.png/revision/latest?cb=20170201015228 It was Kogu, part of Bojack's Galaxy Soldiers. Smoke came from some buildings, and explosions could be seen from a distance. He unsheathed his sword, about to strike a scared filly with and orange coat and blond hair. "Well, your parents certainly put up a better fight." He said with a grin. He swung his sword down, and... It was blocked by another. "What!?" He asked. "Run, I will take care of this!" Gohan yelled as he kicked Kogu away. The filly ran away, crying. "Who the hell are you, and what are you doing here!?" Gohan asked. Kogu sheathed his sword. "I'm someone not to be trifled with, boy." He said. Gohan sheathed his sword as well. Gohan dashed and attempted to kick him, but Kogu caught his foot, much to Gohan's surprise. He immediately threw him aside. Gohan managed to recover in time, landing on his two feet. He charged at Kogu again, ready to deliver a massive barrage of punches. Kogu was not able to block, and felt the full force of the attack. Gohan ended it with a kick. "C-Curse you!" Kogu yelled, as he stood up again. Kogu began to power up, his necklace and his earrings glowed yellow. *** "Princess Celestia, what's happening!?" Twilight yelled as she entered the throne room with the rest of the Mane 6. "Sister, set up the barrier!" Luna said. Both princesses used their magic to create a yellow barrier around Canterlot. "W-What's with the force field?" Rainbow Dash asked. "A great danger has surfaced, and at the moment, Gohan has left to take care of it." Luna said. "Ponies have already been murdered in a few towns." Celestia said. "Oh no!" Fluttershy said. "W-What can we do about it!?" Twilight asked. "At the moment, we do not possess the power to defeat any of these foes." Celestia said. "All we can do is watch." Luna said. Celestia put up a projection, revealing the fight between Gohan and Kogu. *** A yellow aura enveloped Kogu, and immediately disappeared. Kogu's shirt disappeared, but his sash remained. His skin turned yellow-green. His hair was a bright red. And even worse, his power spiked up! https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/dragonballfanon/images/d/db/Kogu_%28Full_Power%29.png/revision/latest?cb=20130818041515 Kogu laughed as he immediately dashed forward and kicked Gohan in the stomach, much to his surprise. He then grabbed Gohan's face, dragging it across the ground. He finally let go, letting Gohan travel a little more distance. Gohan immediately got up from the debris. "Nice one." Gohan said. "Hmph. Now, surrender!" Kogu said, unsheathing his sword. "I'm not done yet! Ha!" Gohan yelled as he turned Super Saiyan. Kogu was shocked. "T-This is nothing!" He yelled. Gohan lunged forward with so much speed, Kogu couldn't see him. He unsheathed his sword and stabbed Kogu right in the stomach. "W...What!?" Kogu managed to say. Kogu dropped his sword. Gohan pulled his sword upward, cutting Kogu's upper body in half. He sequentially blasted Kogu's remains to nothing with his other hand. He reverted back to his base form. *** "Alright!" Rainbow Dash cheered. "I'm so glad... But, maybe he could have done it a little less... Violent?" Fluttershy asked. "We understand how sensitive you are, darling. But Gohan needs to do what he can to defeat these monstrosities." Rarity said. "The others should be a breeze for Gohan at this rate!" Twilight said. *** Gohan could sense four other power levels approaching. Three of them were very similar to Kogu's transformation... But one was beyond all of the others put together! Gohan did not want this town to be destroyed even more, so he flew towards a wasteland. A wasteland with grass, plateaus and other things. He landed, and sequentially, the four others did as well. Gohan faced his new opponents. "My compliments in defeating Kogu." The strongest one, Bojack said. Bojack possessed a muscular build. He was teal, along with the others. He also had the appearance of a gypsy pirate, with long orange hair and a scar across his face. http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/0/2218/399107-bojack_03.jpg "Who the hell are you!?" Gohan asked. *** "Such vulgar language!" Rarity said. "I like it." Rainbow Dash said. Fluttershy was crying. *** "Master Bojack rules this planet now." Bujin, one of Bojack's henchmen said. https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/dragonballfanon/images/6/6d/Bujin.png/revision/latest?cb=20130818041902 "Never. Bojack will never rule this planet, as long as I'm around!" Gohan shouted. "Master Bojack has no equal!" Bido, another one of Bojack's henchmen said. http://www.retrokroker.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Bido.png "The universe is littered with the bones who dare to think otherwise." Zangya, the last of Bojack's henchmen said. https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/villains/images/0/0a/Zangya05.png/revision/latest?cb=20170201014039 "Master is impatient, it would be wise to stand down, boy. Or better yet, kneel." Bujin said. "I want to know why you're here!" Gohan shouted. "Really, you want to know? It's because I'm finally free of that wretched star, and it's been too long since I've snapped somebody's neck!" Bojack said. "We, as Master Bojack's Galaxy Soldiers, do as he says." Bido said. "And this happens to be the first planet he wishes to conquer." Zangya said. "Alright, then... Let's go." Gohan said. Gohan turned into a Super Saiyan. This didn't faze the others one bit. Zangya and Bido nodded to each other before charging at Gohan. Bujin teleported a few feet behind him, and was about to use his Psycho Threads on Gohan. Gohan instinctively jumped backwards, dodging the incoming attacks and elbowed Bujin in the face, then flew away backwards. Bido charged at Gohan once more, throwing a punch. Gohan caught the punch, and threw Bido at Zangya. 'I really should have brought senzu beans.' Gohan thought. But it was too late for that, now. Zangya dodged the incoming attack, and Bido was able to recover before he hit the ground. She flew up at Gohan, who shot a powerful ki blast at her. She immediately swatted it away. Bido unleashed a barrage of ki blasts with his Brave Gatling. Gohan deflected them all with swats. Zangya, Bido and Bujin all charged at Gohan from three different directions, actually managing to hit him. They pushed him into a plateau, and stopped to let him loose towards a boulder. Gohan managed to recover before hitting the rock, and stood on top of it. Zangya and Bujin charged at him from both sides, pressuring him. Gohan was throwing barrages of punches and kicks at both Zangya and Bujin. This proved to be too difficult for Gohan, and after receiving a knee to the gut by Zangya, he received a double axe handle to the back by Bujin. He was sent burrowing into the ground. But, he flew back up, and was immediately met with a kick by Bido. Gohan quickly blocked with his arm, and threw a punch at Bido. Bido blocked with his hand, and Bujin suddenly appeared, punching Gohan in the stomach. Gohan instantly swatted Bujin away, and dodged an incoming punch from Zangya. The two then flew everywhere, dodging and attacking. Bojack watched from a small distance. "Impressive. His level of skill is even more advanced than I had thought. This should be fun." Bojack noted. Gohan blocked a punch from Zangya atop a mountain. Only to be kicked in the back by Bujin, and to be hit with an axe kick by Zangya into the mountain. Bido also threw his Underground Energy Ball into the mountain, exploding when coming in contact with Gohan. The result was a huge explosion of red ki. *** "W-What's going on!?" Twilight asked. "Why isn't Gohan destroying them?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Yeah, they're actually giving him a run for his money!" Pinkie Pie said. "This is bad, really really bad!" Applejack said. "H-He can still go Super Saiyan 2 and end it all, right?" Rainbow Dash asked. "I hope he does..." Fluttershy said. *** Gohan picked himself up from the rubble. He was worn out. Bojack, Bido, Bujin and Zangya stood ahead of him. Bido, Bujin and Zangya blasted Gohan into a corner, being another mountain. Gohan stood up, only to be blasted continuously. Eventually, he couldn't take anymore, and fell on his knees. "Ugh... Great..." He muttered, before reverting back to his base form. Bojack unleashed a Galactic Buster, a powerful and giant green energy ball at Gohan. Gohan stood up with little strength he had left, and crossed his arms in front of his face, as a last effort to block. But suddenly, a weak, but strong enough fire blast came and hit the blast off course. Gohan looked ahead to see... Nothing hitting him? But he sensed something else nearby. Someone... Chaotic. He looked to the sky to see no other than Discord. "Hello again... Gohan." Discord said.
Galactic Crisis Pt. 2"W-What the heck is HE doing there!?" Rainbow Dash asked. "We mustn't complain!" Luna said. "He is actually assisting Gohan in this bout." Celestia said. "But why would he ever...?" Twilight asked. *** "Discord!" Gohan said. Discord snapped his fingers, healing Gohan. He landed gently beside Gohan. "I felt some chaos was happening, and I wasn't the cause of it." Discord said. "Would you mind if I cut in?" He asked. "Just don't die, and I'll be happy to let you cut in." Gohan said. Discord snapped his fingers, creating four Gohan clones again. They were as strong as last time. Discord also snapped his fingers to create a fire blast. Gohan turned Super Saiyan. "Hmph. More nuisances." Bojack said. "We shall handle this, Master Bojack!" Bido shouted, deflecting Discord's fire blast with ease. Bojack's henchmen dealt with the Gohan clones. While one stayed behind. Gohan charged at Bojack, who suddenly disappeared. Bojack actually moved behind Gohan, and towards Discord. Bojack fired a powerful energy blast at Discord. Discord swatted it down to the ground with his lion's paw, creating a smokescreen of sorts. Discord couldn't see Bojack from behind, who fired a Galactic Buster at Discord. Discord reacted at the last second, struggling to hold the immense blast in his two different hands. "W-What... Is... This... RAAAAAARGH!" Discord yelled as he was enveloped by the blast. "Discord!" Gohan yelled. Discord could not continue, and laid on the ground, beaten and unconscious. "You'll pay for that Bojack!" Gohan yelled as he charged at Bojack. Gohan stopped to unleash a barrage of ki blasts. Bojack created a force field, which absorbed all of the blasts. Gohan grunted before charging at Bojack once more. ...Before he was suddenly stopped. He wasn't able to move... What was happening!? The three handled the Gohan clones that fast. Bujin hit Gohan with his Psycho Threads, and slowly absorbed Gohan's power. Gohan grunted in pain as it happened. Bido took Gohan's sword from his sheath, flew away, and javelined it at Gohan. This was when the last clone came in handy, and caught the sword last second. He even shot a powerful ki blast at Bujin, stopping him from using the Psycho Threads. Gohan freed himself, and his clone gave him his sword. "Thanks." He said. The clone nodded before flying away and actually holding off Bojack's henchmen. "Let us begin." Bojack said to Gohan. Gohan powered up, and charged at Bojack. The two threw many punches, and eventually they exchanged ki blasts. Bojack finally gained the upper hand, moving fast enough to elbow Gohan in the stomach, and knock him away with a kick. Suddenly, Bojack was hit in the back by a fire blast. He didn't receive damage, but his shirt was partially ruined. He turned around to see a very injured and tired Discord panting heavily behind him. "You think... You could... Get away...!? With that!?" Discord yelled. Bojack flew up to him, and punched him in the elongated gut so hard, that his sleeve disintegrated. He then elbowed him so hard that the sleeve disintegrated, and smashed him down to the ground, before unleashing a Galactic Buster on him. Gohan was able to hit the Galactic Buster away in time, before it killed Discord. Discord managed to snap his fingers, creating five more Gohan clones before he fainted. Bojack powered up, destroying his shirt entirely. Bojack's skin was now yellow-green, and his hair was a bright red. https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/dragonball/images/4/43/Bojack_%28Full_Power%29.png/revision/latest?cb=20150919090315 All of the Gohan clones left to handle the henchmen. *** "With all due respect, Princess Celestia, we can't just sit by while Gohan gets murdered by this guy!" Twilight said. "Yeah, he's going to need our help! Discord's down, and now he's alone!" Rainbow Dash said. "You cannot! You'll die!" Celestia said. "We will just have to see what will happen!" Luna said. *** Gohan was struggling immensely against Bojack. He threw a punch, and Bojack teleported behind him and grabbed his foot. Bojack swung Gohan around and at a boulder. Gohan was able to recover, and stop himself from crashing into the boulder. But Bojack immediately came in front of him, and punched him into the boulder! Gohan tried and tried again to hit Bojack, but it just wasn't working! When Bojack fired an energy blast, Gohan was able to destroy it, but Bojack punished Gohan with a kick, sending him flying at a boulder. Gohan landed gently on top of it, and tried to fly back at Bojack. Until Bido, Bujin and Zangya all trapped Gohan with their Psycho Threads. "You're not going anywhere thanks to our barrier." Bujin said. "The more you struggle, the more energy it takes from your body until you pass out or die." He said, laughing. Gohan couldn't take it, and reverted back to his base form. Bojack appeared in front of Gohan. "Now, give your father a message for me." Bojack said, punching Gohan in the face, then hitting him with a backhand and grabbing his head again. He head butted Gohan, making Gohan cough blood. He ended it with a double axe handle, sending Gohan into a plateau. *** "Princess Celestia, there has to be something we can do!" Twilight yelled. "Gohan will die at this rate!" Rainbow Dash said. "I'm sorry, but I do not allow you to fight!" Celestia said. "Do you wish to be killed!?" Luna called. *** Bojack picked Gohan up by his shirt. He then bear hugged Gohan, while laughing and torturing Gohan. He did it even harder, making Gohan cough some blood. "How ironic that your father's death was the key to our escape. I so wanted to thank him personally, but now you'll have to do it for me." Bojack said. *** "That's it, I'm not going to stand by while Gohan dies! Right girls!?" Twilight asked. "Yeah!" Four of the others asked. "Um, maybe." Fluttershy said. "Twilight, please, no!" Celestia said. "I'm sorry princess, but we have to do this." Twilight said, performing a teleportation spell, taking the Mane 6 to the battlefield. *** Bojack bear hugged even harder, making Gohan scream in pain. "F-Father..." Gohan muttered. "Hold it right there, Buster!" Twilight yelled. Bojack looked to his side to see the Mane 6, and dropped Gohan on the ground. Fluttershy immediately cowered, and hid behind a rock. "We're gonna kick your flank for what you've done!" Rainbow Dash yelled. "We will not let you get away with this!" Applejack yelled. "And what are the likes of you, with your measly power levels going to do about it?" Bojack asked. Rainbow Dash was first to strike, flying straight at Bojack, smashing her hoof into his midsection. But to no avail. Rainbow Dash flew backwards in pain, her hoof hurt. "Ow!" She yelled. Bojack threw a weak ki blast at Rainbow Dash, defeating her there. She landed on the ground in cuts, and pain. Applejack ran up to him and bucked him with all her might, but again, to no avail. Bojack lightly kicked Applejack, knocking her down. "YOU MEANIE MEAN PANTS!" Pinkie Pie screamed as she pulled out her party cannon and blasted Bojack with confetti and whatnot. "Is this is joke?" Bojack asked, blasting Pinkie Pie. She was down. His henchmen were laughing at this 'last stand'. Rarity used her magic to make a rock fly at Bojack while Twilight put full power into her own magic blast. Both of those attacks did literally NOTHING. Bojack promptly blasted them, defeating them as well. Rainbow Dash looked at Bojack in disbelief. "D-Dang..." She muttered. Fluttershy was brimming with rage. "How dare you!? HOW DARE YOU!?" She yelled, not hiding behind the rock anymore. "How dare I?" Bojack asked. "You think you can just come here and hurt my friends!?" Fluttershy asked, trotting up closer to Bojack. Bojack laughed. "YOU CAN'T! AND WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY FOR YOURSELF!?" Fluttershy screamed, using The Stare. It did nothing but make Bojack laugh. Bojack punched Fluttershy in the face, knocking her away. Gohan watched in horror. "Now what will happen!?" Bojack asked before he laughed again, along his henchmen. "You bastards." Gohan said. Bojack stopped laughing. "Excuse me?" He asked. Gohan picked himself up, and stood up. "Do you think you could just waltz in, take our planet and hurt my friends!? WELL YOU CAN'T! HAAA!" Gohan screamed, powering up. He became a Super Saiyan. No, he powered up EVEN further! Into a Super Saiyan 2! There was smoke covering Gohan's transcended form. Rainbow Dash was able to see it all. "Finally..." She muttered. *** "It appears the sight of his friends being hurt was enough..." Luna said. "He finally broke through his own shell." Celestia said. *** The smoke disappeared, revealing Gohan. His face was different. Unlike his usual, cheerful face, it was replaced with a fierce and unmerciful one. His hair spiked up, with a few strands drooping down. https://static.comicvine.com/uploads/original/11112/111126650/4693913-6570775976-Drago.jpg Lightning was appearing and disappearing around Gohan. "I WILL NOT LET YOU GET AWAY WITH THIS!" Gohan screamed, powering up even further. His little outburst shook the land, even in the Crystal Empire. Bojack was actually a little fearful. Along with his henchmen. Gohan began to walk slowly towards his enemies. Each step created smoke. "Bujin, Bido!" Bojack commanded. Bujin and Bido jumped a few feet beside Gohan, and unleashed their Psycho Threads. Nothing happened. Gohan powered up, and screamed. The threads were destroyed. Bujin and Bido charged at Gohan in a desperate attempt to defeat him. Gohan backhanded Bido's midsection, chopping him in half. Bido's body then disintegrated. Gohan performed a roundhouse kick on Bujin's midsection, making him succumb to the same fate as Bido had. Gohan then turned to Bojack and Zangya again. Zangya cowered in fear. Gohan flew very slowly at Bojack. For some weird reason, Bojack decided to be a team killer. He shoved Zangya, and unleashed his Galactic Buster on her, destroying her, and the blast continued to fly at Gohan. Gohan dodged with ease. A boulder was destroyed as a result. Gohan stopped flying and landed on the ground. Bojack cackled as he jumped up and unleashed a full power energy blast on Gohan. Gohan didn't even bother to dodge. Some of the land around him was destroyed, but a tiny portion around him remained, and he himself was undamaged. Bojack landed, screaming: "I WILL KILL YOU!" He charged at Gohan, ready to deliver a punch. But Gohan actually moved very quickly, and punched right through Bojack's stomach, much to Bojack's surprise and dismay. Gohan kept his serious and war face. Gohan pulled his arm out of Bojack, and Bojack walked backwards and hunched over in pain. "Y-You fool! Any last words before you die!?" Bojack asked, coughing purple blood. Bojack mustered as much strength as he could to charge up a full power energy blast. "Actually, Bojack. There is one word that comes to mind." Gohan said, cupping his hands by his side and charging up the Kamehameha wave. "KAMEHAMEHA!" He yelled, as he unleashed it. Bojack unleashed his blast as well. His blast disintegrated instantly. Bojack screamed in pain as he died. The smoke cleared from the area. The Mane 6 picked themselves up with little strength they had left. "G...Gohan...!" Twilight said with a smile. Said smile quickly disappeared. Gohan's face was enough to scare all of them. "It's over." Gohan said. He reverted back to his base form, and fell flat on his back. He even chuckled lightly. The Mane 6 quickly came to his aid. "A-Are you alright!?" Twilight asked. "Clearly not, but I think there's someone else who needs your help too." Gohan said. Discord managed to get himself up too. "W...What? I... I don't get any... Any credit?" Discord asked in between pants. *** A few senzu beans healed them up! By a few, I mean eight. All of Gohan's senzu beans were gone, and he had to wait for Zecora now. Now they were back in Canterlot. "Thank you so much, Son Gohan!" Celestia said. "J-Just Gohan is nice, thanks..." Gohan said. "This is yet another time you have saved us all." Luna said. "Well, I couldn't have done it without them." Gohan said, pointing at spectators Mane 6 and Discord. "OOH! Wait! Gohan!" Pinkie Pie said. "What? What is it?" Gohan asked. "looker2611 needs ten bits, so deck Discord in the schnoz!" Pinkie Pie said. "looker... Who?" Gohan and the rest of the Mane 6 asked. "You know, a commenter? On this fan fiction?" Pinkie Pie asked. "Fan what?" Everyone asked. "You know, Gohan's here because Kuraekakashi put him here!" Pinkie Pie said. "...What?" Gohan asked. "Who the heck is Kurae whatever?" Rainbow Dash asked. "He wrote this whole thing!" Pinkie Pie said. "Wrote what!?" Gohan asked. "This fan fiction, I already told you! Anyway, looker2611's gonna get 10 bits of you deck Discord in the schnoz!" Pinkie Pie said. "Deck me in the what now?" Discord asked. "I'm just as confused as Discord... We still don't know who looker2611 is, Pinkie." Gohan said. "Silly, all you have to do is punch Discord in the nose!" Pinkie Pie said. "Why did you say that like it's a completely normal sentence!?" Gohan, Twilight and Discord asked. "Just do it so that they get their bits already!" Pinkie Pie said. "Ugh, is it fine if I..." Gohan asked. "Go ahead, just don't kill me." Discord said, putting a target on his nose. Gohan lightly punched Discord in the nose, but gave him a nosebleed anyway. "Ow! Ow! Ow!" Discord said. "S-Sorry!" Gohan said. "Oh, that's just fine, it's just a nosebleed." Discord said. Well, that ends an exhausting day. Author's Note You got your bits, are you happy now looker2611!? Now Pinkie Pie knows I'm writing this story, and you guys know too!
Twilight's Kingdom, Gohan's RockThe Mane 6, Spike and Gohan were all at the Crystal Empire! ...Again. This time, for a regal meeting. So, all she had to do is reveal a banner of Maretonia and wave to the duke and duchess of the same place! All on the balcony. "That was it!? Princess Celestia asked you to come all the way out here for that!?" Spike asked, unamused. Twilight was already being self-conscious that her role as princess was not important. And now she had a frown. "I-I mean, wow! Nice job! Really showing that importance!" Spike said. Applejack hit Spike on the head with her forehoof. *** "Is there anything else I can do to assist with their visit?" Twilight asked. "I'm sorry, Twilight. Their visit is already over." Cadence said. "Oh." Twilight said, hanging her head low. "Something wrong?" Luna asked. "I guess I just don't really understand why I'm here. Couldn't one of the Royal Guard unfurl the banner?" Twilight asked. "Having the four of us, and the empire greet them lets the dignitaries know their visit is considered an important one." Celestia said. "Plus, it's an opportunity to see my favorite sister-in-law." Cadence said, wrapping a hoof around Twilight. "I'm happy to see you, all of you!" Twilight said, but her frown returned. "But?" Cadence asked. "But, it's just that, Luna raises the moon, Princess Celestia raises the sun, you protect the Crystal Empire, and all I seem to do is smile and wave." Twilight said, trotting away. *** A regular unicorn stallion with a white mane and brown coat with four green gems for a cutie mark was carrying a bucket of oranges and trotting down a dark alley. Suddenly, a hooded being appeared, starting the unicorn. "V-Very sorry, you came out of nowhere." The unicorn said. "Is he friend? Or is he foe? The pony wonders... I can assure you, I am no friend... I am Lord Tirek." The hooded being, Tirek said. "And I will take what should have been mine long ago..." He said, taking the unicorn's magic! Or eating, he just took it from the horn and in his mouth. The pony's cutie mark disappeared! And he fell flat on the ground. Tirek grew in size. *** Celestia woke up, scared! Then, Luna came through the doors. "Sister! Are you alright!?" Luna asked. "I've just had the most terrible dream." Celestia said. "Why do you think I'm here? You know as well as I that this was not a dream, but a vision." Luna said. "Then we haven't much time! The stronger he becomes, the more we are all in danger." Celestia said. *** Celestia provided information, and history about Tirek to the other princesses. He and his brother Scorpan were going to steal Equestrian magic, but Scorpan liked Equestria's ways. He urged Tirek to give up their plans, but Tirek refused. Scorpan alerted the princesses, thus taking Tirek to Tartarus, and imprisoning him there. Scorpan returned to his own land. Tirek managed to escape, but heavily weakened. Only now was he able to use his dark powers. "But with each passing moment, he grows stronger, still!" Luna said. "And I know just the princess who can stop him." Cadence said. "Shouldn't we take this information to Gohan?" Twilight asked. "Although we do not know the extent of his overwhelming power, I am not sure if it is enough to battle Tirek." Celestia said. "Yes, he simply had to go Super Saiyan 2 to defeat Discord." Luna said. "And this is a power that can go beyond Discord's own." Celestia said. "And I'm afraid you can't stop Tirek, Twilight. I need to call in another." She added. "Discord himself." She added. Which surprised the other princesses. *** "As in, Discord? Discord?" Applejack asked. Now she was in Ponyville, explaining the situation. "Yes, but Princess Celestia thinks Gohan isn't strong enough to handle Tirek!" Twilight said. "What? I'm stronger than him in my base form!" Gohan said. "You needed to defeat him with your Super Saiyan 2 form, and you don't like that very much." Twilight said. "I went into that transformation because of the nonstop clones of me he kept sending!" Gohan said. "Well... That may explain it..." Twilight said. "But I won't fight it, it's her decision." Gohan said. "Well, I don't think that's a very big surprise. He can be very helpful." Fluttershy said. She turned to her other friends to see their unamused looks. "I agree, he saved me from dying against Bojack." Gohan said. "Yes, he can sense when there's a magical imbalance. The next time Tirek gains magic, Discord can track him down." Twilight said. "So... What are you supposed to do in the meantime?" Rainbow Dash asked. Twilight sighed. "Nothing." She said. "Unless one of you needs me to smile and wave." Twilight said. "But where are you going?" Spike asked. "The castle of the two sisters, I'm not really needed anywhere else." Twilight said, trotting away. "You want some company?" Rainbow Dash asked, flying after her. "Yeah, it's been a while since we've been there." Applejack said, following too. "Yeah, the last time we were sucked into a comic book." Gohan said, following with everyone else. "I suppose I can use a little company." Twilight said. And they walked into the Everfree Forest. *** Now they saw the Tree of Harmony from a distance. "I still can't believe we had to give up the Elements." Rainbow Dash said. "It had to be done, or the Tree of Harmony would not have survived." Rarity said. "But Twilight was right! Even without the Elements, our friendship is as strong as ever." Fluttershy said. "I just hope another 'friend' of ours doesn't make us sorry that we had to give them up." Applejack said. "Hey, I can beat him, you know. It's like, the biggest reason he isn't attacking?" Gohan asked. Discord was laughing in the distance, and arriving Mary Poppins Style. With an umbrella, a scarf, a purse and a hat. "You're talking about me, I presume." He said. "How'd you guess." Applejack asked sarcastically. All of a sudden, Discord's ears were burning. "My ears were burning." He said, splashing water on his ears. "What are you even doing here Discord?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Can we please not use harsh tone against our reformed friend?" Gohan asked. "Oh, I was just doing a bit of reading before I set off on my extremely important mission." Discord said, actually reading a book. "Oh, and thank you Gohan for defending me." He added. Then Discord was dressed as a general or some reason. "I suppose you all know I am tasked to capture a simple escapee." Discord said, blowing into a bubble pipe. "Big deal!" Spike said. "You're right, Spike. It is a big deal." Discord said, blowing into his pipe so hard that a bubble encased Spike. It flew up until it popped, making Spike fall until Rainbow Dash caught him. Then Discord wasn't wearing anything. "It seems I possess a magic that gives me an important role in Equestria. Maybe they should make ME an alicorn princess..." Discord joked, giving himself fake wings, fake horn and a fake crown. He blew kisses. Everyone was pretty unamused. "In your dreams." Rainbow Dash said, punching the crown of Discord. "Come on!" Gohan said. "Oh, I never dream of such things." Discord said, reverting back to his original state. "Ask Princess Luna." He added. "Don't you have a creepy magic stealing villain to track down?" Applejack asked. "Yes yes yes, of course, of course." Discord said, bringing everyone into a group hug before teleporting them in front of the Tree of Harmony's chest. "But I noticed that Twilight hasn't opened her little box first." Discord said. "I just wondered if what's inside could help improve her royal word." Discord said. "I only bring it up because she says she feels her role as princess quite much." Discord said. He put a finger on Twilight's mouth. "Wait a minute! How do you know that she was unveiling!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed in a high voice. "O-Oh my, is eavesdropping not the way you're supposed to find out what your best pals are up to? Oh woe is me, will I ever learn the intricate nuances of being a good friend?" Discord asked sarcastically. Everyone looked at him with unamused looks. "Ahem, well in any case I suppose now is a good time as any to make way with my exit." Discord said, walking to a polka dot motorcycle and putting on his helmet. He teleported away after revving the engine. "And good riddance!" Applejack said. Then Discord appeared behind them. "Oh whoopsie doopsie, I almost left with a little journal you've all been keeping. Well, except the kid, but you know. What a fascinating read! Haven't you girls just learned so much!" Discord said, opening the journal. "I've bookmarked a few interesting passages that you should REALLY take a look!" Discord said, balancing the journal on Twilight's horn. Then Discord leaned towards Fluttershy. "We're still in for tea later, right Fluttershy?" He whispered. "Oh yes, I wouldn't miss it. Gohan will be joining us again." Fluttershy said. "Oh well I'll bring the cucumber sandwiches!" Discord said, somehow opening a door to another place with a doorknob floating in mid air. He entered it, and that was the last of it. "Sometimes I think the 'Reformed' Discord is more obnoxious than the before Discord!" Applejack said. "Indeed." Rarity said. "He's always been an attention seeker, and since we're all his BEST friends... I mean it, he might just want a little more attention." Gohan said. "Yes, but he could be right! What if there was something important in that chest?" Fluttershy asked. "There's only one way to find out." Twilight said. "Library?" Gohan asked. "Library." Twilight said. "Library!" Gohan and Twilight exclaimed, jumping up. Rainbow Dash groaned at this eggheadedness she witnessed. *** Everyone looked in the library of the ruined castle, yet found nothing for the chest. During all this, Tirek continued to consume everyone's magic. He was about to sneak up on a pony, but then he turned around and it was Discord. "Tirek, I presume?" He asked, shocking Tirek. "Discord... You're free?" Tirek asked. Discord turned into a giant parrot. "As a bird." He said. "I commend you on your escape." Tirek said. Discord returned to normal. "I'm afraid the feeling isn't mutual." He said, snapping his fingers and handcuffing Tirek. Tirek tried to attack with his magic, but Discord dodged by splitting his own head in two... Yeah, I'm confused as well. "Oh, I should have known that you wouldn't want Equestria all to yourself." Tirek said. "Oh, I'm not doing this for me, I'm doing it for my friends." Discord said with a smile. Then he leaned closer to Tirek. "Just between you and me, it's mostly for Fluttershy." He whispered. "Fluttershy? You're not saying you're friends with ponies...?" Tirek asked. Then Discord burst from a giant birthday cake. "Surprise!" He said, covering Tirek in cake. "I AM surprised that someone with your intellect could not see this 'friendship' as but a new form of imprisonment. Clearly, you hat to abandon your true nature to stay in their good graces." Tirek said. Discord had a halo and played the harp, but he threw the harp away. "I have done nothing of the sort." He said, then taking off his halo. "Oh please, I've seen this before. But he was always weak minded. But you are Discord! You are legend, you cannot fall into the same trap that claimed my brother. Help me get strong and be rewarded with something far greater than friendship." Tirek said, glowing his yellow eyes. Discord looked in curiosity. "Once I rid these ponies of their magic, nothing will give me greater pleasure than to see their world turned upside down. Who better to do so than the master of chaos himself!" Tirek said. Discord was contemplating... "Join me, Discord, and reclaim your greatness. Unless pony errand boy is the only role you wanted to play in this world." Tirek said. Discord looked back at a drawer with a picture of him and Fluttershy together.... And he decided. *** Well, the Mane 6 found five of the six keys. Twilight was the only one who didn't have a key. Sadly. But she was needed in Canterlot, at once! So she burst through the doors. "I came as quickly as I could! Is something wrong!?" Twilight asked. "I'm afraid I put too much trust in Discord, and the effect that friendship would have upon him." Celestia said. "Discord has betrayed the ponies of Equestria, and joined forces with Tirek." Celestia said. "How could he do this!? I thought our friendship meant something to him! I thought he had changed!" Twilight said. "Tirek has stolen enough magic that he has the strength to steal flight as well. Without pegasi to control weather, there will be no rain in Equestria. There is word that he has gone after Earth ponies as well. Without their strength, they will not be able to tend the land." Celestia said. "Ponies will no longer be in control of their world. That power will belong solely to Tirek!" Luna said. "There is no doubt that Tirek wants alicorn magic. With Discord by his side, we will not be able to stop him from taking it." Celestia said. "Once it is in his possession, his power will know no bounds, and all hope will be lost." Luna said. "But there is one solution." Celestia said. The three princesses stepped down, and walked to Twilight. "This sacrifice is our last chance to save Equestria. We must rid ourselves of our magic before Tirek has the chance to steal it from us." Celestia said. Twilight gasped. "Gohan can defeat Tirek, I know it! If he get him to handle this, this can all end!" Twilight said. "No, he may be able to defeat one of us, including me, but he is not strong enough to defeat a combination of four alicorns!" Celestia said. "I-I suppose I'll do my part, and give up my magic." Twilight said. "You misunderstand, our magic cannot just disappear into thin air. Somepony must contain it." Luna said. "And that somepony is YOU, Twilight." Cadence said. "But why me?" Twilight asked. "We do not believe that Tirek knows another alicorn princess exists in Equestria. If we transfer our magic to you, Tirek will not know where it has gone." Celestia said. "Do you understand what we're asking of you?" Cadence asked. "Yes, it's just that, now I'm learning how to control my own alicorn magic. To take on even more-" "Twilight, you represent the element of magic. If there's anypony who's up for this, it's you." Cadence interrupted. The other two alicorn princesses nodded. "Taking on this responsibility is one of the most difficult things I'll ever do. But with my friends,-" "I'm sorry, Twilight. You must keep your new abilities a secret. I fear that if your friends knew of your great power, it would put them at great risk. Do you understand this great responsibility?" Celestia asked. Twilight nodded, and the three princesses transferred their magic to Twilight. The result was, they lost their cutie marks. Even though Gohan was not there, he could feel Tirek. He just hoped that Discord would do something, so he didn't have to. Then, he could feel Twilight's newfound power. So did Discord. The next day, the Royal Guard, including Shining Armor lost their magic to Tirek. And Twilight was struggling to contain her magic. Twilight even exploded her door by accident. Gohan approached, because this was new. "So, why have Princess Celestia, Luna and Cadence given you their power?" Gohan asked. "H-How did you know?" Twilight asked. "You better not tell anypony!" She added. "First off, they have literally no power levels that I can sense from here. You have it all." Gohan said. "It's because they think you couldn't handle Tirek and Discord." Twilight said. "Oh. That's... That's fine, I guess." Gohan said. Then, Twilight went into the Everfree Forest. Just so Tirek couldn't find her. But Tirek sent the three princesses to Tartarus. Tirek also gave Discord a necklace as a sign of gratitude for helping. Discord and Tirek were now planning to steal Gohan's insane power... *** The Mane 6 and Gohan just finished warning everyone of Ponyville to stay indoors. "I'm sure Discord will find Tirek, and this will all be over." Fluttershy said. "I bet he's taking his SWEET time." Rainbow Dash said. "Perhaps these things just take time." Discord said. "You're back!" Fluttershy said, jumping up and hugging Discord. "Did you bring the cucumber sandwiches?" She asked. "I did." Discord said, making a tray of cucumber sandwiches appear. "Can I have one?" Gohan asked. Discord wrapped himself around Gohan. "Sure! And, I just dropped by to say hi, and..." Discord said, before turning himself into 1,000,000 tons. "W-What the!?" Gohan asked, trying to move. But to no avail. "I did some calculations and..." Discord said. Gohan turned Super Saiyan, but even that wasn't enough. Discord was very close to losing his grip, Gohan was making this VERY painful! "N-Now, Tirek!" Discord shouted. Tirek appeared out of nowhere, and seized the opportunity. He used his horns to absorb 90% of Gohan's strength. It still meant his power level was still 450,000,000, If you even care. The even scarier part is that he was a Super Saiyan! And now he was near powerless. Tirek grew many sizes. "Hey! How could you-" Pinkie Pie asked, before she, and her 5 other friends were put into a cage. "It will be the last meal you will ever enjoy." Discord said. Gohan could barely stand, and he reverted back to base form. He was heavily weakened, and 4300 was a little much. His pupils were grey instead of black, too. Tirek then absorbed all the magic and most of the life out of the rest of the Mane 6. He then picked Gohan up by his foot. "I must thank you for giving me your incredible strength. Now nothing can stand in my way, I have the powers of a Super Saiyan!" Tirek exclaimed. "It was nice knowing you!" He said, throwing Gohan hundreds of miles away. "Gohan!" The rest of the Mane 6 shouted. The protector of Equestria, Gohan, is now powerless. "Now nobody will be able to stop Lord Tirek!" Tirek shouted, laughing. "W-Why are you doing this!? I thought we were friends!" Fluttershy sobbed. "Oh, we were. But Tirek offered me more than just tea parties. Surely, you saw this coming?" Discord asked. "I didn't... I really didn't!" Fluttershy sobbed. "Now there will be nothing who can stand up to us." Discord said. "Us? Who said ANYTHING about us?" Tirek asked, sucking Discord's magic. "You've helped me get stronger, and now you are no longer of any use to me." Tirek said. "B-But you said this was gift of your gratitude! Of someone very close to you..." Discord said, holding up his necklace. "My brother who betrayed me... It's as worthless as he is." Tirek said, walking in the direction of Twilight. "Surely, you saw this coming!" Applejack said. "I didn't... I truly didn't..." Discord said, actually feeling... Guilty. *** Gohan landed in the Frozen North, and on a mountain. 'Damn it...' He thought. The one good thing was, he had his senzu beans! But he couldn't move his hands. The crash was pretty hard. So, telekinesis it was! He used his telekinesis (which could deflect a missile) to very slowly take a senzu bean from the little pouch. He smiled very lightly when it was in front of his face. He pushed himself forward to eat the senzu bean. He swallowed, and.... "HAAAAA!" Gohan screamed, going full power as a Super Saiyan. He began to stand up. His aura grew many sizes. He didn't want to go Super Saiyan 2... Unless he needed it. But he was angry nonetheless. At Discord. *** "I-Is Gohan...?" Fluttershy asked. "He isn't, look!" Rainbow Dash said, pointing her hoof at the horizon. Gohan's aura could be seen. And his yell could be heard. Everyone's face lit up. *** Twilight was sitting alone, atop a cliff. She tried mastering teleportation, but it got really out of hand, and now she was in between two rocks. "PRINCESS TWILIGHT!" Tirek screamed. Twilight gasped. "Tirek!" She said. "YOU HAVE SOMETHING THAT BELONGS TO ME!" Tirek screamed. Twilight exploded from the rock, and flew at Tirek! But did no damage whatsoever. She landed pretty heavily. "You are going to give me what I want." Tirek said, attempting to take Twilight's magic. Twilight teleported away quickly enough, back to the Treehouse. Tirek fired his magic at the Treehouse. Twilight reacted quickly, and got Owlicious out as soon as possible. Her home... It was destroyed! Twilight was brimming with rage. She teleported back to the battlefield, and fired her most powerful blast! Tirek blocked very easily. In fact, he didn't need to block. The blast did nothing to him. Twilight landed, hoping she did a little damage. "This is pathetic." Tirek said, much to Twilight's surprise. "I took your friend's power, and now, alicorn magic is no match for me! Now, let's have a trade, shall we?" Tirek asked, making her friends appear in bubbles. Even Discord. "Your friends for all the alicorn magic in Equestria." Tirek said. "Don't do it!" Her friends shouted. "What's it going to be, princess?" Tirek asked. "We're not worth it!" Fluttershy said. "Oh, but you are, Fluttershy." Discord said. "You were the pony that taught me that friendship is magic. I had friendship and magic, and now... I have nothing." Discord said. "ENOUGH! I WANT AN ANSWER AND I WANT IT NOW!" Tirek shouted. "....I will give you my magic in exchange for my friends." Twilight said. Everyone in the bubbles gasped. "As you wish." Tirek said, popping the bubbles. Everyone landed, except Discord. He remained trapped. "All of my friends!" Twilight said. "After the way he has betrayed you? You still call him a friend?" Tirek asked. "Release him!" Twilight ordered. "If that's what you want." Tirek said. Tirek did that, there was no point in not doing it. "T-Thank you, Twilight." Discord said. "I'm sorry." He said to Fluttershy. "I know." Fluttershy sobbed. "Your turn." Tirek said, stealing Twilight's alicorn magic. Tirek grew even larger. Tirek grew into the size of multiple mountains. "NOW I RULE EQUESTRIA!" Tirek shouted. "NOT ON MY WATCH!" Gohan screamed. Gohan flew up to him until he was many feet in front of Tirek, as a Super Saiyan. "Impossible! You were bone dry!" Tirek said. "Clearly I wasn't, and I'm not about to let Equestria fall to you!" Gohan shouted. "A fool, and nothing more." Tirek said, attempting to take Gohan's power again. Gohan moved quickly this time, dropkicking Tirek in the stomach as hard as he could. Tirek actually coughed. Gohan then uppercutted Tirek's giant head. Tirek had to walk backwards to recover. Tirek's size made him a big target, but his speed remained unchanged. "TAKE THIS!" He screamed. He blasted Gohan with extreme strength. Gohan held the immense blast back, struggling to keep it from hitting him. "DIE!" Tirek screamed, putting more power into his blast. Gohan eventually couldn't stop it, and was enveloped by it. Tirek cackled. But, Gohan was still inside the smoke. Half his orange shirt was destroyed, and everything else was ripped a little bit. "What!? Impossible!" Tirek said. "You're good, I have to say." Gohan said. Tirek grunted before he smashed his giant fist into Gohan. Gohan blocked by holding his hands out, and was pushed to the ground. As he held the fist on the ground, the ground shattered. During all this, the rest of the Mane 6 and Discord went to the Tree of Harmony. Gohan sidestepped to avoid any more destroyed land, and flew up to smash his fist in Tirek's face. "Grah! DIE!" Tirek shouted, swatting Gohan away. He then fired another blast at Gohan. "KAMEHAMEHA!" Gohan screamed, firing the Kamehameha wave. 'I'm gonna need Super Saiyan 2! Damn it!' Gohan thought. The collision exploded, and Gohan flew past the debris of ki and magic to kick Tirek in the face again. Then, Gohan pulled out his sword and charged it up with ki. His swung his sword across Tirek's chest. Tirek yelped in pain. "WHY YOU...!" Tirek shouted, healing himself with magic. Gohan landed on the ground and jumped back to avoid an incoming blast of magic. He blasted three more ki blasts to damage Tirek. Tirek was enraged because of how much of a nuisance Gohan was. So, he waited until Gohan would strike again. Gohan jumped in front of Tirek, about to slash again, but then Tirek grabbed Gohan. Gohan's sword fell to the ground, no longer charged. "NOW YOU WILL DIE!" Tirek screamed, putting his other hand on his grip, and he started to crush Gohan. Gohan screamed in pain. A few of his ribs actually broke. So, he powered up, making his aura flare again. It was enough to get himself out of Tirek's grip, so he flew back down to the ground. 'Alright, senzu bean number two!' Gohan thought as he ate another senzu bean. He also powered up because of the zenkai boost. Now, he was way ahead of Tirek in terms of power! Gohan swiftly picked up his sword and charged it again. Gohan jumped up, and flew all around Tirek as he threw plenty of ki blasts and slashed his body. Tirek was further enraged. Just then, the Mane 6 managed to open the chest! Each of the Mane 6 were given the Rainbow Power! Their manes became longer, with added colors to that and their bodies. Now they were in a friendship magic barrier above the battlefield, and they blasted Tirek with the most powerful magic of all! Tirek may have been affected, but he managed to absorb the new, immense power! "Oh no!" Gohan said. "W-What!?" Twilight asked. "D-Does this mean Gohan is stronger than friendship?" Pinkie Pie asked. "Thanks for the boost!" Tirek shouted, as he grew even larger. "HA!" Gohan yelled as he fired a full power energy blast. Tirek blocked with ease, the magic of Friendship gave him a hefty boost! "This isn't good!" Gohan said. Tirek blasted Gohan with an extreme magic blast. The Mane 6 were puzzled as to what they were to do now. Gohan landed on a mountain, and was burrowed deep inside. "Yes! I have finally defeated that pest!" Tirek shouted. The Mane 6 all gasped. "Now what!? Gohan can't be defeated, he's a good guy!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed. "And now it's your turn, ponies!" Tirek shouted, about to blast them. But, a faint yell could be heard from the mountains. "What is it now!?" Tirek shouted. The mountain exploded in yellow aura! Tirek was shocked, and the Mane 6 were happy that Gohan was still alive. Gohan flew to the battlefield. He had a new look... As a Super Saiyan 2! Oh, and his shirt was completely gone. But his sword and sheath remained. "What? Your hair changed? Just die already!" Tirek shouted, blasting Gohan with full power. Gohan held his hand out, blocking the blast with ease. "It's over... TIREK!" Gohan screamed, flying so fast around Tirek that nobody could see him. He kept landing plenty of hits on Tirek, and further weakening him. "Grah! How did you attain such power!?" Tirek screamed. Gohan stoped his assault. "I'M MY FATHER'S SON! AND NOW, KA..." Gohan screamed, charging up the Kamehameha. "No! You will not succeed!" Tirek shouted. "ME..." Gohan screamed. Tirek began to charge his own blast with his horns. "HA... ME...." Gohan screamed. "DIE!" Tirek screamed, blasting at full power. "HA!" Gohan screamed, blasting at full power. Gohan's blast overwhelmed Tirek's instantly. Tirek couldn't even hold Gohan's Kamehameha wave off, it was that powerful. Tirek screamed in agony as he died shrinking and losing his power. The magic and ki he had stole went to Gohan and the Mane 6. Well, ki to Gohan, magic to Mane 6. Gohan had the power of a Super Saiyan 2 and another Super Saiyan! It was like going Super Saiyan 3! Except it's not. At all. "W-What are we supposed to do with this magic?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Deliver it back to all of Equestria!" Twilight exclaimed. The magic of Equestria circled around the Mane 6 as a rainbow. They all flew up, and each pony flew across the land, giving everyone who lost their magic their respective powers back. As a shockwave, somehow. The unicorns had their magic, the pegasi could fly again, and the earth ponies regained their strength! Everyone also got their cutie mark back. Finally, the magic of the princesses were restored to them. They were freed from their prison in Tartarus. The Mane 6 returned to the Tree of Harmony, where a certain Super Saiyan 2 waited. The Rainbow Power went back inside the chest, and the chest was taken on a rainbow to the ground of Ponyville. It turned into A GIANT CASTLE! The seven were teleported in front of it, and the Mane 6 lost the Rainbow Power. "There's a new castle!" Gohan said. He turned to his friends... Who were in turn staring at him. "Why aren't we just looking at the castle?" Gohan asked. "Sweet Celestia! I have never seen that before!" Rainbow Dash said. "Well, I may have, but now I'm seriously noticing how buff Gohan is!" Twilight said. "Me too." Fluttershy said. "Me three." Rarity said. "C-Could we stop staring at me!? I'll put on a shirt later!" Gohan said, blushing. Then everyone averted their attention to the castle. "Sweet Celestia! Are you all seeing what I'm seeing!?" Rarity exclaimed. "Who's is it?" Twilight asked. "I believe it is yours, Princess Twilight." Celestia said. Everyone turned around to see the three princesses, Spike and Discord. Gohan was still pretty pissed at him. And he was a Super Saiyan 2. So even more pissed. "Son Gohan, I apologize for underestimating you." Celestia said. "Yes, we believed that you were not strong enough to handle Tirek." Luna said. "But, now we see that you are far beyond any of us can ever achieve." Celestia said. Gohan actually smiled, as a Super Saiyan 2! And he reverted back to base form. Then he chuckled. *** Everyone was walking through the halls of the castle. "You've been wondering about what you're meant to do as a princess. Do you know now?" Celestia asked. "As princess, I believe I have the power to spread the magic of Friendship across Equestria. That is the role I am meant to have in our world, the role I choose to have!" Twilight exclaimed. She teleported to be beside her friends. And they hugged. "Then it is unlikely that you will do this task alone." Celestia said, opening the doors to the throne room. Everyone gasped as they saw the room. "You are now Twilight Sparkle, Princess of Friendship!" Celestia exclaimed. Eight chairs! With cutie marks! Well, one had "孫悟飯" written on it. Another had nothing. Everyone entered the room. The Mane 6 each took their seats. Gohan inspected his own. "Is this supposed to be mine?" He asked. "I believe so..." Celestia said. "It has my name, so!" Gohan said, jumping up and sitting on his throne. "But what is the Princess of Friendship without her friends?" Celestia asked. Then everyone got up and got into a group hug. "Yeah... Why do I have a throne, I'm not part of the Elements of Harmony." Gohan said. "I suppose you're very close." Celestia said. Discord was actually looking from a distance. Twilight used her magic to get Discord into the group hug. "Wait a minute, where's my throne?" Discord asked. "I don't think you're quite there yet." Fluttershy said. "Well yes, I suppose not." Discord said with a smile. "I'll let you sit on mine from time to time." Gohan said. "Even though you contributed to this Tirek problem." He added. "We really cannot thank you enough for ending Tirek." Cadence said. "W-Well, he and Discord may have taken my power, but..." Gohan said, patting his bag of senzu beans. "Yes, I really must apologize, Gohan." Discord said. "I'm still very angry, Discord. But as long as you're okay now, then I won't kill you. In fact, now I have the power of a Super Saiyan in my base form because of that." Gohan said. "No... Really?" Discord asked. "Getting more power every time I heal, and my stolen ki was returned in full." Gohan said. "That's awesome! Now it will be tens of times the Super Saiyan power!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed. "We are blessed to have you on our side." Celestia said, bowing along with everyone else. "Come on, Twilight's the princess here. I'm no leader..." Gohan said. Then everyone laughed. Author's Note So Gohan's power level is about 50,000,000,000 at base now. If you even care.
Equestria Girls: Rainbow RocksThe night of the Fall Formal, a commotion was going on at a fast food restaurant. Everyone was arguing because three heavenly voices were stealing their magic from the fighting. The three were Adagio Dazzle, Sonata Dusk and Aria Blaze. Also known as the Dazzlings. "Ugh, that was barely worth the effort, Adagio. I'm tired of fast food, I need a meal!" Aria complained. "The energy in this world isn't the same as Equestria! We can only gain so much power here." Adagio said. "Ugh! I wish we were never banished to this place." Aria said. "Really? I love it here!" Adagio said sarcastically. "For realsies? I think this place is the worst." Sonata said. "I think you're the worst, Sonata." Aria said. "Oh yeah? Well I think you're-" "Ugh." Adagio interrupted. "I'll tell you one thing, being stuck here with you two isn't making this world any more bearable." Adagio said. Suddenly, magic could be seen and felt in the distance. The Dazzlings rushed outside to see! They saw the power of Friendship. Their necklaces made her feel the power of it. "Did you feel that!?" Adagio asked, before grinning. "Do you know what that is?" She asked. The other two didn't know. "It's Equestrian magic!" Adagio said. "This world doesn't HAVE Equestrian magic." Aria said. "It does now, and we're going to use it to make everyone in this pathetic little world adore us." Adagio said. *** It was another day at CHS. Nobody was ever letting Sunset Shimmer live down the fact that she turned into a demon. And how she was a jerk beforehand. Except her new friends, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Rarity and Fluttershy. In other news, everyone except Sunset Shimmer in the group can get their pony parts when they perform with instruments. And CHS is having a Musical Showcase. And the Dazzlings are now attending CHS. So... Something bad is happening. They've even got everyone to argue at lunch with their song. Battle of the Bands. Now everyone was arguing, making them even stronger. Except the humanized Mane 6. Includes Sunset Shimmer. And they were fighting about the CHS Musical Showcase. It just turned into the Battle of the Bands. Sunset Shimmer knows that they possess some sort of dark magic. Somehow, they got the principals under their spell. And now everyone was waiting outside the portal. "If only we can get to Twilight, maybe she could break the spell they cast on our friends!" Rarity said. "Well, that's not gonna happen. The portal's closed. And I have the feeling that they don't have cell phones where she's from." Rainbow Dash said. "I have an idea how we can get in touch with Princess Twilight and... Uh... I actually forgot his name." Sunset Shimmer said. "I think it was... Rice?" Pinkie Pie asked. "Uh... Yeah, he did say something about it being rice... So Twilight and Rice." Applejack said. "I think it was Gohan. How did we forget his name?" Rainbow Dash asked. "I know we've even mentioned him before... Oh well, we'll find out when he's here." Sunset Shimmer said. *** Gohan and Twilight got the message from Sunset Shimmer through a book that was glowing and vibrating. "What is it, Twilight?" Fluttershy asked. "It looks like a message to Princess Celestia from my friends at Canterlot High." Twilight said. "You mean Sunset Shimmer had some sort of book to write to her? Something bad's definitely happened." Gohan said. "Yes, it sounds like they need our help." Twilight said. *** After some research, the Sirens were behind all this magic. They were three beautiful but dangerous creatures that had the voices to elude ponies. They fed on the negativity of others through division of ponies. Starswirled the Bearded had stopped them, and sent them to the world of Equestria Girls. Twilight fashioned a portal to this world, that never closes. She even went on a long lecture about it. The only one listening was Gohan, because being a nerd had it's perks. "Say what now?" Spike asked. "Duh! She's gonna take the magic in here," Pinkie Pie said, pointing a hoof at Celestia's book to Sunset Shimmer. "And put it in there!" She added, pointing a hoof at the portal. "And the portal will open up and whenever she wants to, she can go from here to there!" Pinkie Pie said. And the portal did work! "Alright! I get to see my own kind again!" Gohan said. "I guess you really like it over there." Rainbow Dash said. "Hey, I want to be around my own kind too! Give me a break." Gohan said. Now Spike, Gohan and Twilight were going to go through the portal! *** The Equestria Girls Mane 6 were just waiting outside the portal. Rainbow Dash sighed. "I'm starting to think she's not coming." Rainbow Dash said. Then, the three burst through the portal! "Twilight!" Everyone exclaimed. "I'm back...!" Twilight said. Sunset Shimmer held her hand out to help her up, and Twilight hesitantly took it. Sunset Shimmer did the same for Gohan, but he declined. "I'm too heavy, you might lose an arm." Gohan said, standing up. The rest of the girls got into a group hug with Twilight. Then it finally broke. "And... Gohan, right?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Yeah, that's me." Gohan said. "What's with the cool sword?" Rainbow Dash asked. Gohan realized he still had his sword. "I forgot to leave it..." Gohan said, holding the handle of his sword. "Superheroes forget a lot too, I guess. Didn't know you practiced fighting and sword stuff." Rainbow Dash said. "Rainbow, he's a swordsman." Rarity corrected. "Whatever." Rainbow Dash said. "And Sunset Shimmer, how are you?" Gohan asked. "Me? I'm fine, thanks. Except everyone's not accepting of the new me." Sunset Shimmer said. "Don't worry, they'll understand soon. If it makes you feel any better, I accept the new you?" Gohan asked. "Actually... It does. I was an enemy, trying to kill you and now I'm a friend? Usually you'd kill your enemies, right?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "If they can't forget their evil ways, I have no choice." Gohan said. "You've actually killed villains before?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "Yes, but back to the point at hand!" Gohan said. "Yeah, I've got some bad news about those girls." Twilight said. *** Everyone was at Sugarcube Corner now. Gohan, Rarity and Twilight were on the sofa while everyone else was standing or on a chair. "Oh I hate that you have to return here in a time of crisis. We have so much catching up to do!" Rarity said. "For starters, a blue haired guitar player was asking about you." Applejack said. "Flash Sentry was asking about me!?" Twilight asked, twirling her hair and blushing. Everyone noticed her outburst, and she changed her tone. "Ahem, Well, isn't that nice?" She asked. "Perhaps you could give us the slightest bit of gossip from your world?" Rarity asked. "She's got an official title now. The Princess of Friendship!" Spike said, then making trumpet sounds. "Wasn't she the Princess of Friendship once she was an alicorn?" Gohan asked. "Well, yeah... But I mean, ponies now know her as the princess." Spike said. "Oh, okay." Gohan said. "Wow, that's pretty impressive! I guess you really were Princess Celestia's prized pupil." Sunset Shimmer said. "She's even got her own castle." Spike said. "A CASTLE? You have your own castle!?" Rarity exclaimed. She realized her outburst. "Oh, well that's lovely." Rarity said. "Where does Gohan live?" Applejack asked. Gohan laughed awkwardly. "A shack... On the outskirts of town..." He said. "Seriously?" Pinkie Pie asked. "Yeah, we kinda expected you to live with your parents or her." Rainbow Dash said. Gohan frowned at the word parents, but he regained his composure. "Anything else happen?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Well, Gohan just defeated a giant monster who was going to rule Equestria." Twilight said. Gohan smiled. "And he did it after his power was taken away." Twilight added. Gohan looked down. "And he lost his entire shirt." Twilight added with a smirk. "Oh come on!" Gohan retorted, blushing. "You saw the rest of his body? I can only imagine..." Rarity said, blushing. "Why!?" Gohan asked, blushing even harder. "Come on, aren't you a hit with the girls over there?" Rainbow Dash asked, nudging Gohan. "I'm not interested in making love to a pony, and I'm not looking for love!" Gohan retorted. "I'm only twelve!" He added, crossing his arms. "Does somebody have a crush?" Pinkie Pie asked. "Whoever it is, it's not me!" Gohan said, his blush disappearing. "Come on, you have to had a crush where you came from originally!" Rainbow Dash said. "I was home schooled and I'm at college level now!" Gohan said, uncrossing his arms. "I didn't know you were that much of an egghead." Rainbow Dash said. "Okay." Gohan said. "If you want to be some sort of scholar so bad, why do you keep being a warrior?" Applejack asked. "It helps me cope!" Gohan retorted. "Cope with what?" Rarity asked. "Uh... Well, I'd rather not say." Gohan said, hanging his head down. "It's a sensitive subject for him." Twilight reassured. "Did anything else happen?" Fluttershy asked. "I received the powers of a Super Saiyan in base form, I guess. So I can be a Super Saiyan of a Super Saiyan, technically." Gohan said. "Why don't you show them Super Saiyan 2?" Twilight asked. "Yeah, show us!" Pinkie Pie said. "No, it's too much. I don't like going Super Saiyan 2." Gohan said. "Why?" Rainbow Dash asked. "It clouds my judgement, and makes me uncharacteristically sadistic. Also it's a constant reminder of pain that will never cease." Gohan said. "Uh... Constant reminder of pain?" Rarity said. "I believe that's a good reason to stay away from it. I can't imagine how your war face really is..." Fluttershy said. "Trust me, it's scary." Twilight said. "L-Let's move the conversation away from me." Gohan said. "Come on, what isn't there about you that's uncool?" Rainbow Dash asked. "My dad's death." Gohan mumbled. "What was that?" Rarity asked. "N-Nothing." Gohan said. "...What's new here? Besides the school being a target by magical creatures of Equestria." Twilight said. "...Yeah, so that isn't the only strange thing that's happened since you left." Rainbow Dash said, pulling out her phone. She showed a video of her growing her wings, pony ears and longer hair while playing guitar. "Wow. You play guitar?" Gohan asked. "Yep! Pretty sweet, huh?" Rainbow Dash asked. "It happens to all of us when we play." She added. "Well, my crown was returned to Equestria, but some of its magic must have stayed at Canterlot High. Now that we're back together, we can use that magic on the Sirens! Just like we all did on Sunset Shimmer when she was a horrifying monster!- No offense." Twilight said. "None taken, heh. I'm used to it." Sunset Shimmer said. "Be glad you weren't the worst one, I fought against tyrants who ruled the universe." Gohan said. "Really? Then I'm not really the worst villain..." Sunset Shimmer said. "You're not a villain anymore." Gohan said. "Wait... Why doesn't Gohan just defeat the Sirens for us?" Rainbow Dash asked. "I like to give others a chance at playing hero, alright? I don't want to play hero for the rest of my life, you know." Gohan said. "Besides, I'm fairly certain the magic of friendship's enough. Although it wasn't enough on Sunset Shimmer." He added. "Well, I guess. They'll never even know what hit them!" Rainbow Dash said, then throwing out some punches and kicks. She performed a roundhouse kick, then threw a punch at Gohan. Gohan blocked with a single index finger. "W-What?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Huh? Oh, sorry, I should have let you hit me." Gohan said. "No, you shouldn't but... You caught that with ONE finger?" Rainbow Dash asked. "What do you want me to do, use another force to make your fist go off course? Because I can." Gohan said. "No way, let me try." Rainbow Dash said, throwing a punch again. Gohan used his ki to actually push Rainbow Dash away. "Wow, that's awesome!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed. "Anyway, we've got nothing to worry about now that they're back." Applejack said. "Oh, I'm pretty sure I have something to worry about... But it won't be the Sirens!" Fluttershy said. "The sooner we do this, the better. Any idea where the Dazzlings might be?" Twilight asked. "Oh, they're that way." Gohan said, pointing in a direction. "Wait... You know where they are!? How!?" Pinkie Pie asked. "Are you psychic?" She added. "First question, I can sense other life forms. Second, no." Gohan said. "Anyway, the Dazzlings will be at the big party tonight for all the bands who signed up to be in the showcase." Pinkie Pie said. "Looks like we have a party to crash!" Twilight said. *** All the bands were in the gymnasium, and boy. Did they all hate each other. The good guys were at the food bar. "Guys, these people will do anything to win." Gohan said. "What makes you say that?" Applejack asked. "It's pretty obvious, if they're that divided over a contest. The Dazzlings have them under a spell." Gohan said. "But nobody can possess magic other than us." Twilight said. "That's wrong. The Dazzlings certainly have it." Gohan said. "Uh okay, well-" Twilight said, before Flash Sentry accidentally bumped into her. Flash even caught her before she fell, and it looked romantic from an outside view. "Twilight?" He asked. "Uh- Bumped! Into, always! Doing..." Twilight managed to say. "What are you doing here? You came back for the big competition, right?" Flash asked, letting Twilight stand again. "Well, something like that." Twilight said. "Heh. It's not like there's going to be any real competition. No one wants this as bad as my band does." Flash said proudly. Then, the Dazzlings came into the gym. Gohan stared at them. 'They're suppressing themselves.' He thought. "Hey Twilight, the -Reason- is here." Gohan whispered. Twilight looked over to the Dazzlings. "Could you excuse me for just a minute?" Twilight asked, walking away. The other girls and boy followed. Pinkie Pie was stuffing her mouth with cookies. The Dazzlings looked at their 'art'. Chaos everywhere, powering them up even more. "Oh no! No one's mingling! It's like there's some underlying tension that could bubble to the surface at any minute." Adagio said. "It's the fruit punch, isn't it! I knew I used too much grape juice!" Sonata said, holding apple cider. "It's not the fruit punch- It's us!" Adagio said. 'All I needed to hear.' Gohan thought. "This is just the kickoff party, girls. Imagine what a tizzy it'll be by the time the Battle of the Bands start." Adagio said. "There isn't going to be a Battle of the Bands!" Twilight said. "And we're going to make sure of that!" She added. "Alright, girls, let's do this!" She said. "Friendship is magic!" She exclaimed. They held hands, trying to use friendship. Nothing was happening. Everyone looked in confusion. "Uh, weren't there rainbows and stuff last time?" Rainbow Dash asked. "I don't understand... We're all together again... Why isn't this working?" Twilight asked. "Gohan, do the thing!" Pinkie Pie whispered. "What thing...?" Gohan asked. "Shoot laser beams at them!" Pinkie Pie said. "What? No! Hush!" Gohan whispered. "Talk about throwing down the gauntlet, this group is serious about winning! A little cocky though, aren't they? Claiming there won't REALLY be a battle. Seems like they have this thing all locked up." Adagio said. "Not if the Great and Power Trixie has anything to do with it!" Trixie shouted. "Whatever, Trixie! We're the best band at CHS!" Flash said. "No! Crusaders are gonna win!" Applebloom shouted. Fighting began again, powering the Dazzlings even more. 'Those necklaces...' Gohan thought. Their ki also rose, giving Gohan all needs to know about the Dazzlings. The only people who weren't fighting were the Mane 6 and Gohan. "Well, I think we've found what we're looking for. Or rather, it found us." Adagio said. Her allies didn't know what she was talking about. "Ugh! Magic! Don't you see? Everyone else has fallen under our spell, but not these people." Adagio said. The Mane 6 were walking away. "Do you guys really like to reveal your plan in a public place?" Gohan asked. "Well, if you possess magic, then we'll-" "I don't. At all. I just got here." Gohan interrupted Adagio. "If- Oh! I think we have another addendum to our plan, girls." Adagio said. "You are horrible at keeping your plans a secret, seriously." Gohan said. "Just go away already, we know your friends are special!" Adagio exclaimed. Gohan walked away, towards his friends. *** The girls, dog and boy were on the stairs outside CHS. "This doesn't make any sense! I should've been able to create the spark that would break their spell! That's how it worked before! Kind of." Twilight said. "To defeat me, you drew magic from the crown I was wearing. The Sirens' magic come from their music. So maybe you have to use the same kind of magic to defeat them!" Sunset Shimmer said. "Or we could just have Gohan kill them for us." Rainbow Dash said. "I don't like killing my enemies, okay? Besides, I'm only here for backup, I'm not playing hero." Gohan said. "Sunset Shimmer, you're on to something." Twilight said. "Really?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "It's when you play music that you transform now, right?" Twilight asked. "Yep. Ears, tails, the whole thing." Applejack said. "So maybe we can use magic to defeat the Sirens by using a magical counterspell!" Twilight said. "You mean, like a song?" Fluttershy asked. "Yep! If we want to free everyone from the Sirens' spell, we'll need them all to hear it." Twilight said. "The band competition! That's when we can be certain that everyone will be in the same place at the same time." Rarity said. "Guess the Rainbooms are a band to beat." Applejack said. "And you, Twilight, just became the Rainbooms' newest member." Rarity said. The Rainbooms walked up to Twilight, giggling. Sunset Shimmer wasn't happy that she wasn't helping. Gohan remained on the steps with her. "So, what are you going to play? Triangle? Sousaphone? Theremin?" Pinkie Pie asked, pulling out all those instruments and playing them. "So magical..." She added. "It might take me a while to learn how to play something with these." Twilight said, showing her hands. "I can sing." She said. "You mean, like, lead singer? Because, that's usually my thing, since it's my band and all." Rainbow Dash asked. "It's OUR band. And of course it's lead singer, she's the one with the magical knowhow to pull this thing off!" Applejack said. "Okay, yeah, that's cool. I'll just use this as a chance to hone my already insane lead guitar skills." Rainbow Dash said. "It's only temporary, and we don't have to win the Battle of the Bands. We just have to perform during the first round of the competition!" Twilight said. "Let's get to learning that musical counterspell!" Rainbow Dash said. "That's just it, I don't know any." Twilight said. "Aw." Everyone else said. "But I'm sure I can figure out how to write one!" Twilight reassured. "Totally! Twilight can write a spell like it's nobody's business! That's pretty much how she became a princess in Equestria." Spike said. "I technically added to a spell, I didn't create it. There's more to it than that, Spike." Twilight said. "Yeah, whatever." Spike said. "I've got this, come on!" Twilight said, picking up Spike and heading inside the school. "Where are you going?" Applejack asked. "Well, last time we were here, Gohan, Spike and I spent the night in the library." Twilight said. "Are you crazy? We're besties now!" Pinkie Pie said, hugging Twilight. "Slumber party at my house!" She exclaimed. *** Everyone was at Pinkie Pie's place, in her room. They all were wearing PJs. Except Gohan, he didn't have anything, and Twilight had some from Pinkie Pie. Pinkie Pie was on her laptop, Rainbow Dash and Applejack were playing a video game, Twilight was on the bed thinking, Rarity and Sunset Shimmer were talking, and Gohan sat beside the gamers. He felt a little weird being the only boy there not counting Spike. "Status update: Okey dokey lokey!" Pinkie Pie said. Rarity, Fluttershy and Sunset Shimmer all took a selfie, with Spike in the background. Rarity was not happy about that. Rainbow Dash and Applejack were playing, and Rainbow Dash was losing. So she shut off the console. "Hey! I was just about to beat you!" Applejack said. "I doubt that happened. So Twilight, how's that counter spell coming?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Oh! Uh, great! Thanks for letting me use your notebook, Fluttershy. I really like the song you wrote for the Rainbooms." Twilight said. "Thank you, hopefully one day we'll get a chance to play it." Fluttershy said. Rainbow Dash stole Applejack's controller and was making Applejack work to get it. "Hey!" Applejack said, while Rainbow Dash laughed. "Come on, Rainbow, give the controller back." Gohan said with a smile. "Yeah!" Applejack said. Rainbow Dash kept laughing. "Twilight, I think I speak for all of us when I say we cannot thank you enough for bringing us back together again. And you're helping us again!" Rarity said. "Uh huh!" Everyone said. "Rainbow, give the controller back." Gohan said a little more sternly. "Okay, okay." Rainbow Dash said, handing the controller back to Applejack. "Thanks." Applejack said. "Hey Gohan, I have a question." Rainbow Dash said. "Go ahead." Gohan said. "Do you have any students or something?" Rainbow Dash asked. "That does sound like a good question." Rarity said. "I currently have the other Rainbow Dash under my tutelage, and I temporarily trained Fluttershy." Gohan said. "You're training me over there!?" Rainbow Dash exclaimed. "I was your student?" Fluttershy asked, a little confused. "Yes to both." Gohan said. "Will you train me!?" Rainbow Dash asked, lunging herself forward until she was inches away from Gohan. "I suppose..." Gohan said. "Yes! Alright!" Rainbow Dash cheered, jumping up. "What are you going to teach her?" Applejack asked. "First, discipline." Gohan said with a smirk. The other girls giggled. "Ugh. Anything else?" Rainbow Dash asked. "It depends. Do you want to learn martial arts, how to fly, and-" "Did you say fly?" Rainbow Dash interrupted. "Um... Yes." Gohan said. "So I can fly like you!?" Rainbow Dash asked. "OOH! I want to join, I want to join!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed. "O-Okay! Okay! Yes, you two can fly without wings. But again, it takes a lot of work- It doesn't come easily." Gohan said. "Alright! This is awesome, I get to learn how to fight AND fly!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed. "You and me both!" Pinkie Pie said. Gohan smiled awkwardly. 'I guess this is what I get for being best friends with women.' He thought. "Let's do it as soon as this Dazzling situation's gone!" Rainbow Dash said. "Uh... Okay, so Twilight, I'll have to return to Equestria a little later than you?" Gohan asked. "Not a problem. You control your own life, I'm not your mother." Twilight said. Gohan laughed. The doorbell rang. "Pizza's here!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed, and the five girls ran out of the room. "I honestly don't know what pizza is." Gohan said. Twilight looked at her progress, which was none, and sighed. "You alright?" Gohan asked. "I guess, it's just that I can't come up with any counter spell." Twilight said. "Don't worry, you'll figure it out eventually." Gohan said. "I guess." Twilight said, walking out of the room. Then Pinkie stuck her head into the room. "Don't you want any pizza!? I ordered extra for you!" Pinkie Pie said. "I don't think I've had pizza before, but I might as well try." Gohan said, standing up and walking out of the room. *** Now everyone was BACK in the room. Gohan finished three boxes of pizza in a flash... "I cannot tell if he's a pig or a gentleman." Rarity whispered to Sunset Shimmer. "I heard that!" Gohan said. "Super hearing? That's awesome!" Sunset Shimmer said. "OOH! Why doesn't Gohan tell us his backstory so we get to know him better!?" Pinkie Pie asked. "Yeah, I'm game!" Rainbow Dash said. "Sounds good." Applejack said. "I think I'll like it." Fluttershy said. "Cool." Sunset Shimmer said. "That sounds quite nice." Rarity said. "Come on, do you really want to know?" Gohan asked. "Uh huh!" Everyone said. "Because... It's a little random, gorey and sad." Gohan said. "Yes!" Everyone said. "Alright... Everyone get comfortable, because this is a LONG story." Gohan said. Everyone sat around Gohan on the floor. "So it all started when I was four, and my uncle came from space and kidnapped me." Gohan said. "Wow!" Applejack said. "Already a freaking climax!" Rainbow Dash said. "That sounds awful!" Fluttershy said. *** Gohan told the rest of his story, about the Saiyans, Frieza, Androids and Cell. Even his former friends. All the girls but Twilight were crying. Fluttershy was the first to cry, right after Goku died against Raditz. "That is so sad..." Rarity said. "Those are some no good friends!" Applejack said. "It's in the past, I don't care anymore. They're gone." Gohan said. "How could you just forget about it?" Fluttershy asked. "Yeah, that sounds stupid. I'd bash their skulls in myself!" Rainbow Dash said. "I can't forget about it, silly. It's the worst time in my life. But it's over." Gohan said. "Oh... We're all surprised that you can even smile after such a time..." Applejack said. Everyone else nodded. "We shouldn't dwell on it, it's bedtime. Night." Gohan said, laying down on the floor. "What? It's 8:00." Rarity said. "I have tons of sleeping bags..." Pinkie Pie said. "I'm fine..." Gohan said before he actually drifted off. "Gohan?" Applejack asked. Gohan was lightly snoring. "He fell asleep already?" Rainbow Dash asked. *** Gohan woke up VERY early. So early that he could feel Sunset Shimmer and Twilight were awake. *** Sunset Shimmer opened the refrigerator. "We're really lucky you're here." She said to Twilight. "That's what everyone keeps telling me." Twilight said. "Who could possibly need this much whipped cream?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "The party person with a possible sugar addiction." Gohan said. Sunset Shimmer and Twilight turned around to see Gohan. "You were snoring just 6 hours ago." Sunset Shimmer said. "I wake up early all the time. Except for days that I'm particularly lazy." Gohan said. "When ARE you lazy?" Twilight asked. "When I oversleep, but still train. In fact, I still don't know how I'm going to train- Maybe at the school, but it's not normal for me." Gohan said. "Must be nice that everyone looks to you two to fix a problem, not when you cause a problem." Sunset Shimmer said, putting some whipped cream on her finger. "It really isn't- Especially when I'm overestimated." Gohan said. "Just because everyone expects it doesn't mean it's going to happen." Twilight said. "That doesn't stop them from expecting it." Sunset Shimmer said. "Which only makes it harder because the last thing you want to do is-" "Let everybody down." Twilight, Sunset Shimmer and Gohan said. "And someone else is here." Gohan added. "Who?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "Close the fridge." Gohan said. Maud Pie was was there, startling Sunset Shimmer. She screamed. "Boulder was hungry." Maud Pie said, casually opening a cabinet and "feeding" her pebble Boulder crackers as she walked away. "I still can't get over the fact that she's related to Pinkie Pie!" Sunset Shimmer whispered. "Applejack's related to her, so anything's possible." Gohan said. "Really?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "Yep." Gohan and Twilight said. Sunset Shimmer yawned. "Well, I better get back to sleep. Good luck on that counterspell- Not that you'll need it, it's probably the same stuff you're expected to deal with being a princess in Equestria." She said, walking away. "Sunset Shimmer?" Twilight asked. Sunset Shimmer turned around. "...Nevermind, it's not that important." Twilight said. Sunset Shimmer shrugged and went back to bed. "Why didn't you tell her?" Gohan whispered. "It's too soon!" Twilight whispered back. *** "Hey... Hey... Listen..." Twilight sang, before the microphone starting giving feedback. The Mane 6 were practicing. Everyone was at Sweet Apple Acres... In the garage. "We've got a message for you..." Twilight sang horribly, with more feedback. "We're not all alike... But our friendship is true..." Twilight sang horribly. "Yeah we're really different!" Twilight sang- You get the point. Sunset Shimmer had to turn off the damn speaker because of it. "But we still get along!" Twilight sang. Fluttershy tried adding extra tambourine sounds, only to be hushed by Rainbow Dash. "So hey, hey!" Twilight sang terribly. "Listen to our song..." She sang so bad that Rainbow Dash had Fluttershy add those extra tambourine sounds. It was so terrible that Granny Smith put apple cores in her ears. "You may think you're-" "STOP! GOOD GREEN GOD, STOP!" Gohan interrupted. "You've sang a LOT better than this before, why is your voice so bad!?" Gohan asked. "It was better than the... Last, five times she played it." Spike reassured. "Nope." Big Mac said, carrying a bucket of apples. "But she needs to sing with heart!" Gohan said. "I think it's pretty obvious what's wrong here." Rainbow Dash said. "You mean turning what's supposed to be the chorus into a guitar solo!?" Applejack sneered. "I have to pick up the slack SOMEHOW! Are you guys even trying!?" Rainbow Dash asked. "I'm trying!" Fluttershy managed to say. "It's fine- It'll be fine! One more time from the top!" Twilight said. .......... "...Or, perhaps we could take a short break." Rarity said. "Good, I want to try doing farm work." Gohan said, trying to walk out of the garage before Rarity stopped him. "What I meant was, instead of getting dirty while working, we could try some of the wardrobe choices I put together?" Rarity asked. "I'm not wearing anything cheesy!" Gohan said. "I'm particularly fond of this one." Rarity said, wearing a sparkly dress. "Nope." Gohan said, walking back in the garage. "Or we could try something a bit more modern..." Rarity said. "We're trying to save our school here, stop with the costumes!" Applejack complained. Rarity was hilariously wearing a robotic helmet and a sparkly suit. "Uh! You could never have enough costumes!" Rarity retorted in a robot voice. "She just wants to make things fun! Isn't that what being in a band's suppose to be?" Pinkie Pie asked, beating the drums with a final cymbal. "We can't be wasting time with this! We're supposed to be at the Battle of the Bands in 15 minutes!" Sunset Shimmer said. Everyone gasped. "Alright, everyone grab on to each other- Grab your stuff- And I'll carry us all there!" Gohan said. *** Now everyone was in the gym, ready to duke it out! "Welcome to the first ever Canterlot High School Battle of the Bands! I believe I speak for everyone when I say that it's by far the best thing we've ever done here at this school!" Celestia said. Everyone participating cheered. "We are so glad that our three new students turned this event into something exciting!" Celestia said, referring to the Dazzlings. "But- Now that this is a competition- We can only choose one winner. Who is it going to be?" Luna asked. Everyone was arguing again! This further powered the Dazzlings up. "Feel that, girls? Our true power is being restored." Adagio said, before the trio laughed. They stopped when they saw the Rainbooms and Gohan. And Sunset Shimmer. "And that's before we tap into the strongest magic here. Especially the boy." Adagio said. "I heard that!" Gohan called. "Just as I suspected." Adagio said. "I also heard that!" He called. "Why are you yelling?" Applejack asked. "They want to use me as their weapon, apparently. And it's not going to happen." Gohan said. "But the Rainblossoms or whatever aren't under our spell. How exactly are we supposed to get to them?" Aria asked. "The boy doesn't possess magic, but great strength. He hasn't heard our music yet." Adagio said. "And, the Rainbooms are just as capable of falling apart as anyone else. They just need a little *whoof* along the right direction." Adagio said. "Everyone here is lining up to give them a shove." She added. "Not with the boy around." Aria said. "We'll just have to see about that." Adagio said. *** Snips and Snails just "performed." By perform, I mean fuck- I mean, do bad. "We're ready to- Wait, where's Rarity?" Pinkie Pie asked. "I'm here!" Rarity said, running up in something "fabulous." With metal keys and stuff. "We're performing in front of an audience, we need to look good!" Rarity said. Applejack facepalmed. "Just go- I'll be backstage with Spike and Sunset Shimmer." Gohan said. *** The Rainbooms had to play good enough that they don't get their wings. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=fdVdpRzUzR0 "We just had the day! To get ready! And there's only so much time to lose~! Because, Tonight! Yeah, we're here to party! So let's think of something fun to do! We don't know!" The Rainbooms sang. "We don't know!" The chorus sang. But, during this great song, some cheaters were ready to cheat! Magnets were tied with a string, and dropped down on Rarity. "What's gonna happen! We just know," "We just know!" "it's gonna feel right!" They sang. Her arms were made useless! Because of her dumb outfit. Gohan took notice. "W-What do we do?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "I'll take care of this, just..." Gohan said, grabbing the handle of his sword. He moved so fast, he couldn't be seen. He cut the magnets off, and also took them. Allowing Rarity to play once more! Gohan jumped up to the top to find three girls behind the whole thing. "All our friends are here! And it's time to igni~i~te the ligh~ights!" The Rainbooms sang. Gohan unsheathed his sword, and pointed it at the three. They ran, as expected. "Shake your tail! 'Cause we're here to have a party tonight- Shake your tail! Shake your tai~ail!" They sang. Gohan jumped back down to Sunset Shimmer. "People are desperate." Gohan said. "Shake your tail! 'Cause we're here to have a party tonight- Shake your tail! Shake your tai~ail!" They sang. "So, what if you didn't get it right the first time?" Twilight sang. "Boring!" Applebloom said. Pinkie Pie noticed the bored expressions on the Crusaders' faces. So, she decided to kick it up a notch! She blasted confetti from a drum. "Laugh it off! No one said it is a crime!" Pinkie Pie sang. "Do your thing! You know you're an original!" Rarity sang. "Your ideas are so funny that they're criminal!" Applejack sang. "Oooohah!" They sang, before confetti got into Twilight's mouth, making her cough. "So this is the day! To get ready!" They sang. Fluttershy hit Twilight in the back with her tambourine, making her cough the confetti out. Flash Sentry seemed disinterested, and walked away. Twilight blushed, but also felt sad. "There's so much time to lose! Because tonight! Yeah we're here to party~!" They sang. Snips and Snails were up- Ready to cheat! "So let's think of something fun to do! We don't know! What's gonna happen!" They sang. They shone the stage light at Fluttershy, who constantly tried to hide. "All our friends are here! And it's time to igni~i~ite the ligh~ights!" They sang. Gohan flew up, breaking the stage light with a swift cut. Gohan held the broken piece in his hand as he stared at the duo while flying. Snips and Snails cowered and ran away. "Shake your tail! 'Cause we're here to have a party tonight- Shake your tail! Shake your tai~ail! Shake your tail! 'Cause we're here to have a party tonight-" They sang repeatedly. Gohan was humming along- He liked the song! "Shake your tail! 'Cause we're here to have a party tonight!" They finished. With an alright show! Celestia and Luna clapped! They loved it! Everyone else was staring daggers into them. The Rainbooms were walking back to backstage. "Alright! There were a few minor things, but we did it!" Rainbow Dash said. "Hey, people were trying to ruin it. I stepped in by removing magnets and destroying a stage light!" Gohan whispered. "It wouldn't have happened if SHE didn't insist on dressing up like... Like this!" Applejack said. "We need to sound good! There's some reason that concepts need to escape view!" She added. "And what was with the confetti, Pinkie Pie!? How am I suppose to shred if there's paper stuck in my strings!?" Rainbow Dash asked. "It was pretty distracting." Fluttershy added. "Uh! Says the girl who was running from a LIGHT! A LIGHT!" Pinkie Pie retorted. "You still sounded much better than most of the other bands." Sunset Shimmer said. "Yeah, I honestly loved it. We minimized the errors, but it worked out!" Gohan said. "You're still moving on to the next round, but we need to get the counter spell done before it all ends!" Sunset Shimmer said. "You guys need to find a place to practice without the Sirens knowing, and I'll be around to prevent them from doing anything." Gohan said. "I'll help." Sunset Shimmer said. "Alright, good." Gohan said, *** The group were walking in the hallway now. "I don't think we should use a classroom." Twilight said, before she bumped into Flash Sentry. Again. Twilight laughed nervously. "We really need to stop bumping into each other like this..." She said. Flash seemed... Disinterested? "Uh, you guys hear something?" Flash asked. "Nope." His two friends said. "I-I said, we should really have to stop-" "There it is again! It's so annoying!" Flash interrupted. "W-Why are you acting like this? I thought we were friends...?" Twilight asked. Flash took a deep breath. "Yeah! And then you decided to come back here to beat me in the Battle of the Bands! I want this, Twilight! And you're trying to take it from me! Some friend." He said. "That's not-" "I don't think that's how you address a friend." Gohan interrupted. "What did you say?" Flash asked. "This is a competition- Why wouldn't you expect one of your friends to be in it? You befriended her- And you're going to throw it away all because she's competing against you in a friendly contest!?" Gohan asked. "WELL MAYBE YOU SHOULD-" "KNOCK IT OFF!" Applejack yelled. "Come on, guys! We have things to do." Applejack said, dragging Twilight away. "You think you're gonna help them!? I bet you don't even know what you're doing!" Flash yelled. Twilight held back her tears. Adagio giggled from afar. "Tears already? This is only the first round." Adagio said, before laughing with her comrades. "We're on soon." Aria said. "You're not getting away with this." Sunset Shimmer said. The Dazzlings turned around. "Why? Because you didn't?" Adagio sneered. Sunset Shimmer couldn't retort. "Oh, we know all about you Sunset Shimmer. You've got quite the reputation at Canterlot High." Adagio said. "I've changed, I'm in a much better place now!" Sunset Shimmer retorted. "Waiting in the wings while your friends have all the fun?" Aria asked. "Oh yes, you girls are so nice. And yet- They didn't ask you to be in the band." Adagio sneered. "Probably afraid people won't see them play if she was in the group." Aria sneered. "Too bad! So bad!" Sonata sneered. "Stop taunting her." Gohan said. "Ugh, you again?" Aria asked. "Yes, me again. You guys have been getting stronger and stronger through all this arguing, but I'll warn you in advance- It'll never be enough to defeat me." Gohan said grimly. "And what makes you say that?" Sonata asked. "I'm in an entirely different league than you can ever achieve." Gohan said. "You should only beware if your plan seems to have worked." Gohan said. "Whatever, once we achieve the desired power, nothing can stop us!" Adagio boasted. Gohan burst into laughter. "Oh man..." he said. "Whatever, if it's any consolation- Nobody will remember Sunset Shimmer at all by the time we're done." Adagio said. The Dazzlings walked into the gym, bumping into Sunset Shimmer intentionally. "Are you alright?" Gohan asked. "I'm fine, I'm just... Worthless." Sunset Shimmer said, fighting back some tears. Gohan walked up closer to Sunset Shimmer. "Don't say that..." He said. "It's true, I don't do anything. All I've done is divide people- And I don't do anything to repay the people who have forgiven me." Sunset Shimmer said. "You repaid me." Gohan reassured. "In what way?" Sunset Shimmer asked, genuinely confused. "You gave up your old ways- And became our friend. That's all I need from you." Gohan said. "B-But..." Sunset Shimmer said. "Let me help- I'll try and convince them to let you participate in a way." Gohan said. "That... W-Why are you so nice to me after all I've done...?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "It's what my father would do- In fact, many of my greatest enemies became my friends. Before this whole thing." Gohan said. "Well... I really don't know how-" "Don't even try to repay me- You already did." He interrupted, smiling. Sunset Shimmer was brought back up again. "Come on, let's go." Gohan said. Sunset Shimmer hugged Gohan out of happiness. "Aw, hugs are nice." He commented... Again. *** Sunset Shimmer wasn't allowed entry into the Rainbooms... But, Gohan managed to keep her strong. As the Battle of the Bands went on, many things happened. Bands lost, some won, and people were even more divided. Even the Rainbooms were being divided. Despite Sunset Shimmer and Gohan's best efforts. What's worse- They were getting angrier at Gohan for trying to break up the dumb quarrels! "Buzz off, Gohan!" Rainbow Dash yelled. "We don't need your thoughts on this!" Applejack yelled. "You dare to mock me for my fashion!?" Rarity yelled. But a few didn't yell at Gohan... "T-Thanks for trying to get my song on..." Fluttershy said. "Thanks for trying to build me up- It's great!" Sunset Shimmer said. In fact, Gohan and Sunset Shimmer were the only ones who knew what the problem was. *** When Flash lost to the Dazzlings, he was ANGRY. Like, ANGERY angry. The Rainbooms were in the Semifinals, and up again! The group were backstage, waiting for Trixie to finish. Once she finished, Trixie already began taunting them. "Beat that, Rain-goos! You shouldn't be allowed to- With the big advantage over the rest of us!" Trixie sneered. "My superior guitar skills and my off the charts singing voice?" Rainbow Dash boasted. "Uh, don't be ridiculous. I mean her!" Trixie said, pointing at Twilight. "If you were really superior, Rainbow Dash, then you wouldn't have to bring a magical wringer to have half a chance. Everyone's talking about it." Trixie sneered. "Oh, puh-lease. I could win this whole thing as a soloist." Rainbow Dash mocked. Her friends looked at her with angry looks. Applejack even facepalmed. "Sure you could." Trixie said, before she 'disappeared!' "She's GONE!" Pinkie Pie said. "Nope. She's just over there." Gohan said, pointing at Pinkie Pie's drums. Trixie ran as soon as she was caught. "Next Up- The Rainbooms" Celestia called. The band was divided more than ever, and playing "Awesome As I Wanna Be" was horrific. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=f6H6TgZodPI *** "The Band that will be joining the Dazzlings tonight... The Rainbooms!" Celestia said. "WHAT!?" Trixie shouted. Even the Rainbooms themselves were surprised. "Did she just say the Rainbooms!?" Pinkie Pie asked. "THIS. IS NOT OVER!" Trixie said, gritting her teeth as she walked away. And none of the other bands were happy. "THIS IS A TRAVESTY! A TRAVESTY!" Trixie shouted. "It's such a shame, isn't it?" Adagio asked. "Yes, they were chosen instead of you- Who did much better in the Semifinals and wanted it more." Aria said. "Now it's going to be Dazzlings and Rainbooms." Adagio said. "Unless the Rainbooms somehow don't make it to the final show!" Sonata said. And Trixie had the best idea. *** Now the group were at the place where the final showdown would occur tonight. "Good thing you made it in... Though I'm confused as to how." Gohan said. "This doesn't make any sense! We were awful! Doesn't it seem strange to any of you that we made it into the finals?" Fluttershy asked. "Very strange." Trixie said, standing in front of them with her goons. "What are YOU doing here, Trixie? Pretty sure the losers are supposed to be up there in the cheap seats." Rainbow Dash sneered, pointing at the seats. "The Great and Powerful Trixie is the most talented girl at Canterlot High! It is I! Who deserves to be in the finals! And I will NOT be denied!" Trixie said, motioning for her goons to flip the switch. The floor opened up underneath them... All the girls fell! Gohan remained floating. And now he was pissed off. "Trixie." He said, much to her surprise. "Y-You're flying...?" Trixie asked. "You better get them back up here, or else... Let's just say, either way, you won't be performing." Gohan said, unsheathing his sword. Trixie was so scared that she did just that. *** "My gosh, Trixie was SO desperate." Pinkie Pie said. "Man, you saved our bacon, Gohan." Rainbow Dash said. "Well... I guess." Gohan said: They were back on the stage. From afar, the Dazzlings watched. "Curse that boy!" Adagio said. "We screwed up by making THEM win, Adagio." Aria said. "Oh, don't worry. We can still prevent them from beating us. They're very close to being divided." Adagio said. "And we can just control the principals." Sonata said. "Ah. I see what you mean." Aria said, giggling afterwards. *** The principals and the Dazzlings came onstage. "Hello Principal Celestia. Hello Vice Principal Luna." The Rainbooms said. "Hello. I believe we have an announcement to make." Celestia said. "We will turn this Battle of the Bands into a REAL battle!" Luna said. "Huh?" The Rainbooms asked. "We will have the two bands perform at the same time!" Celestia said joyfully. "What!?" Everyone but the Dazzlings and principals asked. "Yes, but the Dazzlings will have the stage. You will need to perform somewhere else." Luna said. "What!? That's not fair!" Rainbow Dash retorted. "No offense, but that really isn't fair!" Applejack said. "If you have a problem with it, maybe you should be disqualified from the Battle of the Bands." Celestia said. The students couldn't respond. "Good." Celestia said. "B-But how will we perform?" Fluttershy asked. "I suppose you'll have to figure it out, Rainbooms." Luna said as the two walked away. "You three aren't getting away with this." Gohan said. "And you have no means of defeating us." Adagio said before the Dazzlings laughed. "If it comes to it, you'll regret facing me." Gohan stated grimly. "Don't make us laugh." Aria said. "If worst comes to worst... You'll just have to see." Gohan said. *** Now the group were back at Sweet Apple Acres, in the garage. They were getting ready for their show. However, there were disputes and problems. The first problem being- How are they going to perform!? "We can't play over the Dazzlings when they have a speaker and we don't!" Rainbow Dash said. "It's pointless... We don't have time, and I don't think the counter spell will work anyway." Twilight said. "Of course it will, Twilight. Only if a certain band member didn't try to hog the spotlight every time we tried to play it!" Applejack sneered. "Hey, if you want to tell Twilight she's getting a little too caught up being the leader of this band- You don't have to be all cryptic about it!" Rainbow Dash retorted. "She was TALKING about YOU Rainbow Dash!" Rarity said. "Me!? I'm just trying to make sure MY band rocks as hard as it needs to!" Rainbow Dash bragged. "OUR BAND!" Applejack and Rarity yelled. Twilight sat in the corner. "But why isn't it working!? I should know what to do- How could I not know what to do- How could I have failed like this..." Twilight moped. "Don't say that... You might have to look at it from a different angle." Gohan reassured. Sunset Shimmer watched in horror as her friends were being torn apart. "It may have been your idea to start a band, but it's NOT just YOUR band Rainbow Dash!" Applejack yelled. "I'm the one who writes all the songs!" Rainbow Dash retorted. "I WRITE songs! You just don't let us PLAY any of them!" Fluttershy joined. "I just had THE most perfect outfits for us to wear!" Rarity added. "AGAIN WITH THE COSTUMES! No one cares what we're wearing!" Applejack yelled. "I CARE, Applejack! So sorry that I'm trying to make a creative contribution to the BAND!" Rarity retorted. "HEY!" Pinkie Pie screamed, appearing out of nowhere. "Anybody here remember fun!? I'LL GIVE YOU A HINT- ITS THE EXACT OPPOSITE IF BEING IN THE RAINBOOMS!" Pinkie Pie screamed. "I wish I never asked ANY of you to be in my band!" Rainbow Dash screamed. "I WISH I NEVER AGREED TO BE IN IT!" Rarity retorted. "Me neither!" Applejack and Fluttershy added. They kept arguing and arguing. "Stop fighting!" Gohan shouted. "Buzz off, this doesn't concern the likes of you!" Rainbow Dash yelled. "This arguing isn't going to help us!" Gohan said. But they just went back to arguing. Gohan gave up, and sat down beside Twilight. If they didn't do anything about the Dazzlings- He'd step in. Last second always works. They didn't know it, but their arguing was giving the Dazzlings power from afar. Sunset Shimmer realized this. "Stop! You have to stop! This is what they've been after all along! They're feeding off of the magic inside you!" Sunset Shimmer shouted. "How can they be using our magic? It's the magic of Friendship!" Applejack said. Sunset Shimmer looked back at Twilight. "Ever since you've started this band, you've let little things get to you. I never said anything because I never feel like it's my place. Especially when I'm new to this whole friendship thing. I still have a lot to learn, but I've learned that if you don't work out the smallest problems from the start, the magic of Friendship can be turned into something else!" Sunset Shimmer said. Twilight had an epiphany. She walked over to Sunset Shimmer. "I can't believe all this tension was happening under my nose and I didn't realize it... I'm the one who's supposed to have all the answers, and all I've done is let you down..." she said. Sunset Shimmer put her hand on Twilight's shoulder. "I don't think anyone's supposed to have all the answers, but you can count on your friends to find them." Sunset Shimmer said. Her friends were now... Happy? "I think you already have. Come on, we need to find a way to defeat the Dazzlings in a showdown!" Twilight said. "Yeah!" Everyone else said. "There's only one- I mean, two ways to stop the Sirens now!" Twilight said. "We're getting the band back together?" Pinkie Pie asked. "We're getting OUR band back together." Rainbow Dash said. Pinkie Pie squealed. Gohan stood up. "Now we're talking!" He said. "Yeah... Sorry I yelled so much. I didn't realize you were just trying to help." Rainbow Dash said. "Same here." Applejack said. "I apologize as well." Rarity said. "Let's all group hug?" Gohan asked. Everyone got into a group hug, even Spike. Then it broke. "Oh! Which version of the counter spell are we going to play?" Rarity asked. "I don't think it matters what song we play! As long as we play it together, as friends!" Twilight said. "I know just the song!" Rainbow Dash said. Now the others were doubting her. "Fluttershy's written a really great one." Rainbow Dash said, making Fluttershy super happy and squeal. "We're about to save the world here. Personally, I think we should do it in style. Rarity?" Applejack asked. "I thought you'd never ask!" Rarity said, pulling out a rack of clothes. "We need to find someone who isn't affected by the Dazzlings' spell. Also, who has loud speakers and stuff like that." Sunset Shimmer said. Rainbow Dash snapped her fingers. "I got it! I think Vinyl Scratch hasn't been affected!" She said. "You mean the DJ?" Pinkie Pie asked. "Think about it, she didn't participate in the Battle of the Bands! She creates music, she must be alright!" Rainbow Dash said. "That's great! We just need to find her!" Gohan said. "We only have about an hour before the big show. "Yeah, let me just give her a call." Rainbow Dash said. *** The Dazzlings began to play their song in front of the entire school. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=rjmsThcOGTQ As they sang, they gradually floated with the magic they gained. "Welcome to show~... We're here to let you know..." Adagio sang. "Our time is now... Your time is running out..." She sang. From afar, atop a hill, the Rainbooms stood. Vinyl Scratch brought her car that turned into a DJ station, as per their request. "Feel the wave of sound... As it crashes down!" The Dazzlings sang, and the sound actually crashed down. The sound that crashed down actually got the people to stop from turning away. "You can turn away, we'll make you want to stay~!" They sang. They kept floating up and a red aura appeared around them. They grew their Siren parts, such as the ears and wings. Their power levels rose! "We will be adored! You tell us that you want us, we won't be ignored! It's time for our reward! Now you need us, come and heed us! Nothing can stop us NOW!" They sang. Then, the sounds of drums could be heard. Then the Rainbooms started to perform at the same time! "I've got the music in me!" They sang. "Don't need to hear a crowd, cheering out my name!" Twilight sang. The Rainbooms managed to actually get the crowd out of their trancelike state. "I didn't come here seeking infamy of fame!" She sang. "The one and only thing! That I am here to bring is music, is the music! Is the music in my soul! Gonna break out, AH!" The Rainbooms sang. They attained their pony ears, tails, and/or wings! "Set myself free~ yeah! Let it all go, GO! Just let it be~, yeah! Find music in your heart, let music let you set, yourself, apart~!" They sang, as they all floated. "So the Rainbooms want to turn this into a REAL Battle of the Bands? Then let's battle." Adagio said. "What we have in store, only want it more!" The Dazzlings sang, putting the audience back under their spell. "We will break on through, NOW IT'S TIME TO FINISH YOU!" They sang, as their eyes and necklaces glowed a bright red. The Dazzlings were able to reveal their true forms- As Sirens! Their human forms were onstage, but the Sirens were roaming freely! Each one had a red glow around them. The Rainbooms were surprised about this sudden transformation! The Sirens Aria and Sonata dived in towards the Rainbooms. Gohan jumped in front, unleashing a barrage of ki blasts! Now they only flew around the Rainbooms. The Rainbooms were seemingly trapped, but the magic of Friendship wasn't ready to lose yet! Vinyl Scratch raised the volume to max, and Pinkie Pie started banging on the drums. The rest of the band played, and the sounds of magic were enough to move the Sirens away! Each instrument created magic that was able to attack the Sirens. Rarity using diamond magic, Rainbow Dash with red lightning magic, Fluttershy with pink butterfly magic, Applejack with apple magic, Pinkie Pie with balloon magic, and Twilight with just magic magic. The Sirens responded to this barrage of magic with their voices. The Sirens were too strong, and quickly overpowered the Rainbooms. Each of the Rainbooms fell... The microphone fell to Sunset Shimmer's feet. Sunset Shimmer picked it up. "I'll hold them off!" Gohan yelled as he jumped up at the Sirens. The Sirens were ready to finish them off with their powerful voices. Gohan kicked each of the Sirens away before they could do something. The Sirens all charged at Gohan, who flew upwards to make them crash into each other. He threw a barrage of ki blasts from above. The Rainbooms were struggling to get up after such a blow. "Sunset Shimmer, we need you!" Twilight shouted. Sunset Shimmer hesitated for a moment, but finally made a decision. She walked in front of the Rainbooms and took off her coat, which revealed her dress. Vinyl Scratch put on a beat for her. Gohan flew back down to the Rainbooms and managed to keep the Sirens away with a ki barrier. "You're never gonna bring me down! You're never gonna break this part of me! My friends are gonna bring me 'round, not singing just for popularity!" Sunset Shimmer sang. She helped Twilight get back up on her feet. Then, they sang together! "We're here to let you know, that we won't let it go, our music is a bomb and it's about to blow! And you can try to fight, but we have the light of Friendship on our side!" They sang, and the band started to play again! The Sirens dived towards the band. "Got the music in our hearts... Gonna blow this thing apart!" They sang, creating a rainbow shockwave strong enough to repel the Sirens. It was even enough to knock the crowd out of their trancelike state! "And together! We will never! Be afraid of the dark!" The whole band sang. Gohan flew after them and began to pummel each of the Sirens, removing their option of escape. "Here to sing our song out loud!" They sang, as Sunset Shimmer attained her pony ears and tail! "Gets you dancing with the crowd! As the music... Of our friendship... Survives, Survives!" They sang. The Rainbooms began to float once again. "Got the music in our hearts! Here to blow this thing apart! And together, we will never, be afraid of the dark!" They sang, as the magic of Friendship formed a rainbow that formed a spiritual alicorn. Gohan flew up beside it, and began charging his Kamehameha. Just to make sure. "Here to sing our song out loud! Gets you dancing in the crowd!" Everyone, even the audience sang. "As the music, of our friendship... Survives, Survives, survives!" Everyone sang. The alicorn shot Rainbow magic at the Sirens. "Kamehameha!" He yelled as he fired his Kamehameha ONLY at the Sirens, not the Dazzlings. The Dazzlings' necklaces were all destroyed along with the Sirens. An explosion of blue and rainbows could be seen from afar. The Dazzlings lost their powers... And their voices. In a last ditch effort, they sang. "We will be adored!" They sang with broken voices. "Tell us that you want us, we won't be ignored!" They sang with broken voices. The crowd booed. Gohan appeared in front of them with an angry face. The trio were fearful for their lives. "Leave." He said. The crowd began to throw food and trash at the Dazzlings, getting them offstage. The Rainbooms all went onstage. Sunset Shimmer inspected the broken necklaces. "Guess that explains why these were so special to them." Sunset Shimmer said. "Without those pendants and the magic you brought here from Equestria, they're just three harmless teenage girls!" Twilight said. Gohan chuckled at harmless. "Rainbooms rule!" Flash yelled from afar. Flash ran up to Twilight and hugged her. "That was amazing!" He exclaimed. Twilight blushed. The other girls and boy giggled in response. Flash also blushed as they looked into each other's eyes. Then Trixie appeared out of nowhere. "You may have defeated the Dazzlings, but you don't have the ability to stand against the Great and Powerful Trixie!" She yelled before throwing down a smokescreen. As the smoke died down, she disappeared. "She's GONE!... Oh wait, there she is." Pinkie Pie said, pointing at the bleachers. Trixie was trying to jump over the bleachers, and fell down to the ground. "Trixie is okay!" She said. "You know, Twilight is going back to Equestria soon. The Rainbooms could really use someone to help Fluttershy with backup vocals." Rainbow Dash said. Sunset Shimmer smiled, and picked up a nearby guitar. She played it expertly, much to everyone's surprise. "I also play guitar!" She said. Even Rainbow Dash, who quickly regained her composure. "We'll see." Rainbow Dash said. And everyone got into a group hug with Sunset Shimmer. "And Gohan's gonna train us tomorrow!" Rainbow Dash added. Gohan nodded. "This won't be a walk in the park, you two." He said. *** The next day, Twilight was leaving. Gohan would be staying for a tad longer. "Really wish you could stay longer." Applejack said. "Me too, but I have responsibilities in Equestria that I have to get back to." Twilight said. Pinkie Pie poked her head into the portal. "It's citizens need me." Twilight said. Pinkie Pie pulled her head out with a crazed look. "Now, I can go through the portal whenever I need to. This isn't goodbye- It's just goodbye until next time." Twilight said. "And this guy's coming almost everyday!" Rainbow Dash said, nudging Gohan. "As much as I can at approximately 3:00." Gohan said. "And training will start pretty soon!" Pinkie Pie said. "Why don't we watch how Gohan's teaches Rainbow Dash and Pinkie?" Applejack asked. Everyone else nodded. "Okay, ready Spike?" Twilight asked. "Ready! Hey, bring back something for us Gohan!" Spike said. Gohan chuckled. "If I can manage to get one with no money." He said. Everyone laughed. "And I'm coming back in a few hours anyway." He added. Twilight and Spike entered the portal. "Alright! Now let's get to training!" Rainbow Dash said. "Heh, alright." Gohan said. Author's Note Next Chapter's the training session. I wasn't really happy with this one, but this is the best version I can come up with. Everything else made no sense or was too rushed or both.
Training SessionGohan, Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie were in the soccer field. The other friends were on the bleachers. "So when do we learn how to fly?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Once you can master ki control. Before that, you must have an extremely sound mind. So, that means Pinkie needs some extra training." Gohan said. "Hey!" Pinkie Pie said. Rainbow Dash laughed. "That doesn't mean you're off the hook either, Rainbow. You require discipline, you don't have a nice attitude." Gohan said. "Ugh... I guess." Rainbow Dash said. "We will train physically and mentally as much as we can. I will push both of you past your limits." Gohan said. "To be honest, I would be a lot more comfortable saying it's easy, but with you it's completely different." Rainbow Dash said. "Yeah, I know why." Gohan said. "When are we gonna start this thing!?" Pinkie Pie whined. "Now. First, posture! Without proper body posture, your movements are considerably sluggish. Straight backs and no fidgeting!" Gohan ordered. His sudden loud voice scared the students, and they instantly had their backs straight with their hands on their sides. "You're shaking, just relax." Gohan said in a calmer voice. "Well, your loud voice isn't really helping us!" Rainbow Dash retorted. "How else am I supposed to discipline you? Say I'll give you cotton candy if you don't mess up?" Gohan joked. "Ooh, I'd love that." Pinkie Pie said. "Alright, silence." Gohan said. "Wait, I need to check my phone." Rainbow Dash said, reaching into her pocket. "No." Gohan said. She stopped. "Why?" She asked. "If you have time for your phone right now, then you don't have time for my teachings." Gohan said. Rainbow Dash put her hand on her side. "Jeez, you don't have to be so serious about it." She said. "Hush!" Gohan shouted, getting the two back into serious mode. "We will begin with basic exercises, then meditation, then we will practice basic fighting for today." He said. "What about the blasts and flying?" Pinkie Pie asked. "You are not ready yet." Gohan said. "How did you do it, then?" Rainbow Dash asked. "First through rage, then I learned how easy it is to control and channel it at will." Gohan said. "Now then, let's run around the soccer field fifteen times!" He added with glee. Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie groaned. "That's not enough? Okay, we'll make it twenty." Gohan said. "What!?" Rainbow Dash asked. "You want more? Twenty-five it is." Gohan said. "But-" "Do I hear thirty?" He interrupted Pinkie Pie. Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie began to run to the side of the field. And Gohan ran at the same pace. Twenty-five laps. After only two laps, Gohan changed the course. "We're running backwards now!" Gohan said, turning and running backwards. Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie whined. "Don't be complaining!" Applejack yelled as they passed. "I don't think you can handle it if you were doing it." Rarity said. "To be honest, I don't know either." Applejack said. "Nobody can do 10,000 one arm push-ups with each arm everyday other than him." Sunset Shimmer said. "Are we lucky to have Gohan or what?" Fluttershy asked. "Yep!" Applejack, Rarity, and Sunset Shimmer said. "He's saved us from Sunset Shimmer when she was a demon, no offense." Applejack said. "None taken. He forgave me right on the spot soon after you guys beat me. I thought he was gonna murder me when we were in that hole!" Sunset Shimmer said. "He and Twilight brought us back together, it's great." Fluttershy said. The three runners passed the bleachers. "Let's go!" Sunset Shimmer yelled, clapping her hands. "Yee-haw!" Applejack yelled. Pinkie Pie was panting. "You giving up yet!?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Not yet!" Pinkie Pie said, pulling jellybeans out of her hair and eating it. "Stop talking! You lose more stamina that way! And sugar isn't going to help out in the long run, Pinkie!" Gohan said. "Whee!" Pinkie Pie yelled as she went maximum overdrive, passing the other two. Gohan and Rainbow Dash caught up very easily. They passed three more laps before Gohan changed the course again. "Back to running forward!" Gohan said. The two students groaned as they heard this. "How much is he making them do?" Applejack asked. "Usually Rainbow Dash makes the students do about five laps. What, did Gohan make them do twenty-five?" Sunset Shimmer asked. As the three passed by, Gohan said: "They're doing twenty-five!" He shouted. "Uh... Lucky guess?" Rarity asked. "I can't imagine doing that..." Fluttershy said. "I thought of joining this thing but that's WAY too much!" Sunset Shimmer said. "No wonder he wanted to do farm work." Applejack said. "He's a rather weird fellow." Rarity said. "Agreed." The others said. Pinkie Pie collapsed at the ninth lap. Then Rainbow Dash at eleven. Coincidentally, she fell beside Pinkie Pie. "Alright. Take five." Gohan said. His students coughed in response. *** "Alright, now we're going to do push-ups, sit-ups, and maybe drink plenty of juice right after." Gohan said. "Got it. Hey Applejack! Get us some apple cider!" Rainbow Dash yelled towards the bleachers. Applejack held a thumbs up as she left. "Alright, on the ground, as many push-ups as you can." Gohan said. Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie started doing push-ups. And they started to slow down around the 30 mark. Pinkie Pie fell flat on her face at 39, and Rainbow Dash at 45. "You two are doing a lot better than I initially thought." Gohan reassured. "Dang it! This is hard!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed. "Just wait until I get weighted clothing for you." Gohan said. "I am NOT wearing 1000 kilograms!" Rainbow Dash retorted. "No, you will only wear a shirt that's 100 pounds. If you'd like more, you're going to ask." Gohan said. "Maybe later." Pinkie Pie said. "So! Are we ready to do sit-ups?" Gohan asked. Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie groaned in response. "Ugh. Fine, we'll skip it for today." Gohan said. "Alright!" Rainbow Dash said. "Applejack's coming with your drinks." Gohan said. Pinkie Pie got herself up. "Looks like she brought company!" She said. Applejack was approaching the three with a very well known trio. "Here's the case of fizzy apple cider, I ran into some people we know." Applejack said, placing the case down. "Yeah! We want to see the kid who beat Sunset Shimmer at the Fall Formal!" Sweetie Belle said. "You're seeing him." Gohan said, smiling. "We're seeing him again!" Scootaloo squealed while her two friends giggled with her. "Uh.... What?" Gohan asked. "I think some people have a crush." Applejack joked. 'Oh. Crapbaskets.' Gohan thought. "S-Sis! I don't!" Applebloom retorted, blushing. "Y-Yeah! We just think he's cool!" Scootaloo said, blushing. Even Sweetie Belle blushed. "Cooler than me, apparently." Rainbow Dash said, standing up. "What? No way." Scootaloo said. "He's stronger, faster and much cooler than me." Rainbow Dash said with a smirk. Gohan laughed awkwardly and rubbed the back of his head. "That's an overstatement..." He said. *** Meditation. You can only imagine how horrible his two students did. Gohan, Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie were sitting in the middle of the field. "This is boring!" Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie complained. "This is really helpful if you want to be a martial artist. It relieves stress and helps you in many other ways." Gohan said, trying to meditate. "But trying to listen to my breathing is boring!" Rainbow Dash said. Gohan sighed. "Fine. We'll skip to the martial arts." He said, standing up. "Yeah!" Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie cheered as they jumped up. "The only way I can know what you know is if you two try to hit me." Gohan said. "You want us to double team you?" Pinkie Pie asked. "Yeah, I won't be fighting back. Give me your best shots!" Gohan said. "Alright, this might be easy." Rainbow Dash said. The two nodded to each other before they dashed forward and threw many horrible attacks. And their coordination was terrible! Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie occasionally shoved each other so that they could get a single attempt at Gohan themselves. Gohan was dodging effortlessly, as they kept throwing heavy attacks and shoved each other. "Okay, stop!" Gohan said. Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie were panting. "Okay, your coordination is horrific. You two kept shoving each other to have a go single-handedly. Second, you both put way too much force into your attacks. It leaves you two WIDE open." Gohan said. "So we can't be a team?" Rainbow Dash asked. "You can, but I don't think you will find coordination with Pinkie very easily. Perhaps another person would make coordination much easier, but right now it's going to require a lot of work." Gohan said. "Maybe we should have our friends join us." Rainbow Dash said. "If they're willing to..." Gohan said. "How would YOU do attacks?" Pinkie Pie asked. "Swift and strong attacks but not too forceful. I could punch through somebody if I went full force, but the odds of me actually landing that are slim, including the fact that my opponent could punish me for doing something reckless." Gohan said. "There's a lot more to fighting than I thought." Rainbow Dash said. "My brain and body hurts!" Pinkie Pie said. "Well, I guess that's enough for today." Gohan said. "So you're leaving?" Rainbow Dash asked. "If you're going to play another song, I'll gladly stay for that then leave." Gohan said. "Let's go talk with the others about that." Rainbow Dash said. The three walked over to the bleachers. "So, how was the first session?" Rarity asked. "They went beyond my expectations with the exercises, but did horrible in meditation and martial arts." Gohan said. "Maybe we should join." Sunset Shimmer said. "That might do us well." Rarity said. "I'm totally up!" Applejack said. "No!" The Crusaders said. "Oh... I don't know..." Fluttershy said. "Come on, Fluttershy! Don't be a scaredy cat!" Rainbow Dash said. "You don't have to if you really don't want to." Gohan said. "Um... I guess I should join..." Fluttershy said. "If it's too much for any of you, you can quit anytime." Gohan said. Fluttershy sighed in relief. "So, Gohan wants to hear another one of our songs before he leaves!" Rainbow Dash said. "That sounds good!" Fluttershy said. "We do have Sunset Shimmer too!" Pinkie Pie said. "Then...?" Gohan asked. "We'll do it." Applejack said. "We're leaving, bye!" Scootaloo said, walking away with Applebloom and Sweetie Belle. *** The Rainbooms were back onstage, with Gohan in the seats. Even Vinyl Scratch was there for sound equipment. They were prepping for their song, while Sunset Shimmer wrote to Princess Twilight. "Dear Princess Twilight, Missing you already. I hope you'll be back soon. I know Gohan's going to visit often, and he's actually going to make me his student! Things are definitely looking up for me here at Canterlot High. I know I still have a lot to learn about friendship, I hope you don't mind when I write to you about advice when I need it. Your friend, Sunset Shimmer" She wrote in her book. "You ready or what?" Rainbow Dash asked. Sunset Shimmer ran up with her guitar. "Ready!" She said. "Go Rainbooms!" Gohan cheered. Pinkie Pie hit her drumsticks together while counting. "1! 2! 3! 4!" https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=oEm4kUJW_fs *** A very familiar person was running tests, and happened to have a bulletin board full of stuff linked to CHS. "No doubt about it, Spike. There's definitely something strange going on at that school." This world's Twilight said. Spike barked in response. *** Goku just Instant Transmissioned to King Kai's new planet. "Goku... I think you'll find this interesting about the new world your son traveled to." King Kai said. "Uh! King Kai! We have a problem!" Goku said. He was in his Super Saiyan form, and.... Incredibly injured. "Aah! You brought him here!?" King Kai yelled. "You won't get away with this... My son will stop you!" Goku yelled. The creature stabbed Goku in the chest with some sort of blade. Goku coughed blood. With his other hand, he held a powerful yellow/black blast. "I don't have time for this. I'll squish you like a bug." He said, before ultimately destroying Goku's soul...
The Cutie MapIt was another day in Ponyville. The Mane 6 and Gohan were at the castle, where they sat on their respective thrones. "Let's go through this one more time." Twilight said. Rainbow Dash facehoofed. "Ugh! We've been through this, like, a million times! We found all six keys and found this sweet castle! End of story!" She said. "Didn't you also return everyone's magic?" Gohan asked. "Yeah, that too." She responded. "Yes, but why?" Twilight said. "I don't know, sugarcube. Maybe it's because, it's your house! Ain't nothing more to it than that." Applejack said. "I must say, speaking strictly on this stead is all so simply divine!" Rarity said. "I agree with Twilight! And Rarity, and Applejack, and Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie and Gohan. Oh, and probably Spike!" Fluttershy said. Spike was napping in his chair. "As princess, I've been chosen to spread the magic of Friendship across Equestria. So why would the Tree set a castle in Ponyville? It doesn't make any sense!" Twilight said, as she got on her throne. Since each person and pony was on the thrones, the marks on the chairs lit up. After spawning many crystals, a table was created in the middle. Really, a map of Equestria. Spike woke up. "Uh... Is that new?" He asked. "I like it!" He said. Everyone looked in awe. Spike walked across the table. "This is incredible! It's got all of Equestria!" Spike said. Pinkie Pie stared at her rock farm. "Hi mom and dad!" She said. Then Spike stepped on it, making Pinkie Pie sad. But, everyone realized their cutie mark and a person's name in kanji was glowing. The kanji '孫悟飯' was glowing yellow. The glows then traveled up to the ceiling, where each of them circled around Twilight's cutie mark. The seven then traveled across the map to a random place that was not Ponyville. "But... If this is Ponyville, why are our cutie marks over there?" Fluttershy asked. "I don't know, but it seems like the map wants us to find out! The tree, the chest, this castle, and now the map! How can we not follow it?" Twilight asked. "You know what? There's a TON of room for dangerous adventure on route. So count me in!" Rainbow Dash said. "Ah, shoot. I reckon' you're right." Applejack said. "Well, I was planning on organizing my baking sheets, but OKAY!" Pinkie Pie said. "Very well." Rarity said. "Danger...? As long as none of you TRY to get hurt." Gohan said. Then everyone looked to Fluttershy on her opinion. Or, stared. "Uh, maybe I'll just stay here with Spike." Fluttershy said. "Sweet!" Spike said, wearing a helmet with liquid gems he could drink and a #1 glove. "Big Mac and I have a huge weekend ahead of us talking hoofball, and trading hoofball cards, arguing about hoofball stats..." He went on. Fluttershy was not interested. "Um, on second thought, maybe I should go. Just in case anyone needs me!" She said. "Looks like it's time for a road trip!" Twilight said. Everyone got off the thrones and started to walk towards the train station. *** The train ride was pretty casual. Gohan was testing out a new way to practice ki. He was trying to use Instant Transmission, like his father. It proved to be VERY difficult. Gohan tried it without the fingers to his forehead at first, but he later realized that the fingers would help him focus on ki that is much farther away than usual. But that didn't change the fact that he couldn't teleport to those locations. "What are you trying to do?" Rainbow Dash asked. "I'm trying to use Instant Transmission, but I'm having trouble on how to teleport to various locations." Gohan said, putting his two fingers down. "Sounds awesome." Rainbow Dash said. "How does that work?" Twilight asked. "Let's see... I know that I need to sense a form of life in any location. Putting my fingers to my forehead makes it a lot easier to concentrate, and enhances the ability for me. But I just don't know how my dad was able to teleport to places such as the afterlife despite not being dead." Gohan explained. "So you can just visit your dad if you learned Instant Transmission?" Pinkie Pie asked. "Not quite. I can't sense my dad's energy. I theorize that the afterlife is a different place and an entirely different plane of existence. You can't see ponies who died unless they had permission. My dad is somehow able to access it without dying. Maybe it's because he had died before, but it's strange." Gohan said. "How far can Instant Transmission go?" Twilight asked. "Across galaxies, that's for sure." Gohan said. "W-What!?" Twilight asked. "So can you use this awesome super speed move in battle?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Yes. But it's not super speed, it's instant. I could teleport in front of or behind my opponent. Or anywhere around. Unless I can't sense their life energy, which would happen if you happen to be a cyborg or a robot." Gohan said. "Sounds useful." Applejack said. *** The train finally arrived at it destination. Where there was no train station. Instead, the seven had to traverse the land from there. Going from the desert, crossing bridges and mountains, and they finally found their destination. "There it is! That's the place on the map!" Twilight said. "Right! Let's get down there and find the spas!" Rarity said, trotting towards the town. Twilight teleported in front of her, stopping her. "Wait! We don't know WHY the map sent us here. We shouldn't just walk right in, it could be dangerous!" She said. "Yes!" Rainbow Dash said. Then Pinkie Pie dashed in front of the group. "Stay back everypony! I'm on it." She said with a serious face. "Careful, Pinkie!" Applejack said. Pinkie Pie rolled down the crevice and behind a rock like a ninja. She hid under various rocks, motioning for her friends to come until she went under one too heavy and it fell on her. Hilariously, she was still moving with the rock. Gohan lifted it off her and placed it beside her. Everyone looked at the town more closely. "This is where the map sent us? Looks like the most boring place in Equestria." Rainbow Dash said. The town was rather small, but it was just an ordinary village. And the ponies seemed a little... Too happy. And they all had the same cutie mark... An equal sign. "It could use a few architectural flourishes. I mean, many architectural flourishes." Rarity said. "I think it's lovely." Fluttershy said. "Everyone seems to be forcing a smile." Gohan said. "I don't like it, I don't like it one bit! I know smiles. And those smiles? They're just not right." Pinkie Pie said. "Forget the smiles, look at their cutie marks!" Twilight said. "Okay, that's weird." Rainbow Dash said. "An entire village with the same cutie mark? How can that be?" Twilight asked. "I bet there's some horrific monster behind it!" Rainbow Dash said. "Why would you say that?" Twilight asked. "Because fighting a horrific monster would be super awesome!" Rainbow Dash said. "No it would not! I should know!" Gohan said. "Come on, I want to test my training!" Rainbow Dash said. "Do that while not risking your own life." Gohan said. "Fine." Rainbow Dash said, crossing her forehooves. "Maybe there's a unicorn or alicorn so powerful that he or she made everyone's cutie marks the same." Gohan joked. "That's funny." Twilight laughed. "I reckon' we just head into town and talk to some locals. Find out what's going on." Applejack said. "Great idea AJ! Let's go!" Rainbow Dash said, flying off. Everyone followed. "Those smiles are bad news!" Pinkie Pie noted. As they entered the town, they were greeted by plenty of "Welcome!"s. "This must be the most pleasant place in Equestria!" Fluttershy said. "Not to be rude, but they're kind of creeping me out with their smiles." Gohan said. "Ugh, thanks a lot, map." Rainbow Dash said. A unicorn stallion trotted up to the seven. He had a blue mane and a turquoise coat with blue eyes. "Welcome! Sorry for my forwardness, but are you an alicorn?" He asked. Twilight smiled awkwardly. "That there is the Princess of Friendship." Applejack said. "Well you've certainly come to the right place for 'friendship!'" He said. Another earth pony stallion approached. He had a white mane and a white coat with blue eyes. "What brings you to town?" He asked. Gohan was getting even more uncomfortable with the smiles. "We're not entirely sure." Twilight said. "I see! Well, all are welcome here in our little village! My name is Double Diamond and this is Party Favor!" Double Diamond, the white pony said. "Hi there Double Diamond, I'm Applejack, this here's Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Twilight Sparkle and Gohan." Applejack said, pointing her hoof at everyone. "Ooh! You're not a pony!" Party Favor said. "Yes... I'm not." Gohan said. "And all the ponies have their unique cutie marks!" Double Diamond said. "If you don't mind me asking, has there been any sort of, trouble here lately?" Twilight asked. "Trouble? Why, I don't think we've ever had trouble in our little village!" Double Diamond said. "It's true! You'll see!" Party Favor said. "Perhaps you'd like to speak to our founder, Starlight Glimmer!" Double Diamond said, leading the way to this Starlight Glimmer. "I wish everypony in Equestria are as friendly as these ponies are!" Fluttershy said. "The friendliness seems really forced, and it feels like they're not actually happy..." Gohan whispered. "I've got my eye on them! Something's rotten in... Whatever the name of the village is right now!" Pinkie Pie said. The two stallions opened the door to Starlight Glimmer's place. "Starlight Glimmer? We have a few visitors!" They said. Everyone entered, and inspected the room. "Be ready to fight! You don't know what's going to come through that door!" Rainbow Dash said. "Calm down, there's no threat." Gohan said. Then Starlight Glimmer came through the door in the room. She was a unicorn. "Welcome! I'm so pleased to have you here!" Starlight Glimmer said. Rainbow Dash groaned. "This is Applejack, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Gohan and Twilight Sparkle!" Double Diamond said. Starlight Glimmer inspected the alicorn and Saiyan. "Forgive my bluntness, but I assume it is Princess Twilight Sparkle? We don't get many alicorns around here." Starlight said. "Yes. But Twilight is fine." Twilight said. "And you... Aren't you the one who defeated Discord and Tirek?" Starlight asked, pointing a hoof at Gohan. "Uh, yes ma'am." Gohan said. "We don't have any of your kind here in Equestria." Starlight said. "...I have made the distinction." Gohan said. "So! How did you hear of our little village!?" Starlight asked. "It's kind of a long story. Let's just say we found it on a map!" Twilight said. "Technically it's a tree chest castle map!" Pinkie Pie said with a smile before changing it back to an angry one. "Well, however you found us, we're happy to have you! We're happy to have anypony who wants to experience TRUE friendship for the first time!" Starlight said. Applejack had an unamused face, while everyone had a confused look. "Say what?" Applejack asked. "Oh indeed, that's what's so unique about our village, you see. Around here, we don't flaunt our special talents because we don't have any special talents to flaunt!" Starlight said. "That sounds absurd, everypony has a special talent!" Gohan said. "Is that why you all have those cutie marks?" Twilight asked. "Perhaps it'll be easier to understand if I gave you a tour of our village!" Starlight said. Gohan and Pinkie Pie were not buying this 'true friendship' nonsense. *** The town really creeped the seven out. Apparently they always smile, they don't compete, and they're all equal. Nobody is superior and nobody shakes in fear. Pinkie Pie and Gohan still don't buy the happiness. They even want the seven to join the 'utopia.' Rainbow Dash burst into laughter. "You're kidding, right? Give up our cutie marks? No way!" She said. "Rainbow Dash, don't be so rude. I don't think we should judge them. They all seem perfectly happy with their choice." Fluttershy said. "But they seem too happy." Gohan said. "Don't believe their smiles, Fluttershy!" Pinkie Pie said. "I'm sorry, I guess we're just a little confused by all this." Twilight said. "We have no judgements here in our village, each of us was confused as well. Blinded by the false promise of our cutie marks." Starlight said, and the townsfolk nodded. "Whoa, whoa, whoa, is she for real?" Rainbow Dash asked with a little bit too much enthusiasm. Gohan hushed her. "When we were sent to this village, we assumed it was to help in some way. But it seems like you don't need any help." Twilight said. "Have you considered perhaps that you might've been sent here so WE could help YOU?" Starlight asked. Twilight hadn't thought of that. "After all, nopony has ever come to our village and wanted to leave! Why should you be any different?" Starlight asked. "But that is entirely your choice! Please, enjoy our little corner of Equestria. We're all quite fond of it! No doubt you will be as well. Double Diamond, please help our guests with whatever they might need!" Starlight said. "Of course!" Double Diamond said. Starlight Glimmer began to trot away. "Well, this will certainly provide a boost to our little community! When the rest of Equestria sees that a princess and a warrior gave up their cutie marks to join us, they'll finally understand what we're trying to accomplish." She said to herself. Gohan couldn't hear it. *** The seven were walking around town again, being greeted by everyone. "A cutie mark is a representation of a pony's unique talents and skills. How is it possible to-" Rarity interrupted Twilight with a loud gasp. "What in the name of Equestria is that!?" She asked, pointing at ragged clothes. "Welcome! Care to have some of our local fashion? We got cloaks this month!" The stallion earth pony running the place said. Rarity vomited and ate her own vomit before it came out. "Uh... Perhaps another time..." She said. The seven were sitting at a table now. For a restaurant. "No wonder nopony's wearing anything!" Rarity whispered. "Major things may be differently than we're used to, but that's no reason to be rude!" Fluttershy said. "No, the reason to be 'rude' is that they all keep staring at us!" Rainbow Dash said. "And I have a hunch that they're trying to admit us to their society." Gohan said. "Need something?" Double Diamond asked from afar. "Uh, nope! We're good!" Twilight said, before turning back to the group. "Fluttershy's right. If we're going to get to the bottom of why the map sent us here, we'll need the help of these ponies!" Twilight said. A waitress trotted up to their table, but didn't say anything because of the conversation. "I think we ran off to the end of Equestria before we even knew what that map was!" Applejack said. "If we were sitting on the end of Equestria, we'd be sitting on a big A! Get it!?" Pinkie Pie asked. Gohan laughed. "Oh, please Ms. Pie and Mr. Son! This is not the time for jokes! We've come all this way and for what!?" Rarity asked. "Maybe you're right. But we're here now, and it sure feels like something's wrong." Twilight said. "That I'll bet you a cup of cider." Applejack said. "Is this a bad time?" The waitress asked. "We shouldn't be bickering about this in front of our new friends. Really, Applejack, you're just as bad as Rainbow Dash." Fluttershy said. "Don't drag me into this!" Rainbow Dash retorted. "Is your friendship ending?" The waitress asked. "Are you crazy!? We'd never get a disagreement get in the way of food!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed. "O-Okay, well, my name is Sugar Belle, what can I bring you?" Sugar Belle asked. "We have muffins." She said. Everyone looked at each other. "I guess we'll each take a single muffin." Twilight said. "Make that two!" Pinkie Pie said. "I'll take about 500." Gohan said. This surprised the waitress. "A-Are you sure!?" She asked. "Yep! It's been a while since breakfast." Gohan said so casually. The waitress walked away. The rest of the group looked at Pinkie Pie and Gohan. "What? I'm hungry!" Gohan and Pinkie Pie complained. "I'll even pay for the muffins!" Gohan said. "Well, come on guys. We have to stick together. It doesn't matter what happened before, we're here now." Twilight said. "I guess you're right. And the sooner we figure out why, the sooner we can go home." Applejack said. Then a ton of plates of muffins were set on the table. "OOH!" Gohan and Pinkie Pie said. "Forgive me for overhearing, but just a moment ago you were disagreeing. And now you're agreeing." Sugar Belle said. "Uh huh." Applejack said. "Well, you have much differing opinions, and cutie marks. Except for... Whatever that is, I can't find the cutie mark." Sugar Belle said. "I'm a half Saiyan, half human. I am not able to obtain a cutie mark, but I definitely have special talents." Gohan said. "And we have differing opinions all the time, darling." Rarity said. "But you look like you're friends!" Sugar Belle said. "We are friends! A simple disagreement wouldn't change that." Twilight said. Double Diamond overheard this. "I'm sorry, I'm just having a hard time understanding." Sugar Belle said before her face was suddenly serious. "Different talents lead to different opinions which lead to bitterness and misery. So... Why aren't you bitter and-" She said before Pinkie Pie spat out a muffin at her. Gohan actually didn't mind the muffins. "They're actually fine, Pinkie Pie." He said, eating a ton. "It's alright, I know I'm not a very good baker... At least, I'm not better than anypony else in the village." Sugar Belle said. She looked back to Double Diamond, who was also uncharacteristically serious. "Well, I hope you enjoy our little village!" Sugar Belle said, getting the suspicion off her from Double Diamond. Then she quickly changed. "Come inside before you go! Meet me downstairs!" She whispered, before having the forced smile and entering her abode. Gohan left eleven muffins for the rest of the ponies. "Ah. That was nice." He said. "...Okay, that was weird too." Rainbow Dash said. Twilight levitated a muffin towards herself. "Let's all eat here, and act normal. I think we're being watched." She said. "Uh, ya think?" Rainbow Dash asked. "To be honest, it quite obvious everyone is watching us." Gohan said. "No, I mean, it's pretty obvious that some ponies here don't want us talking to Sugar Belle." Twilight said, referring to Double Diamond. "I got an idea, but you gotta eat all these muffins, Pinkie." Applejack said. "Me!? Why me!? Why not Gohan?" Pinkie Pie asked. "Yeah, I mean, I like them." Gohan said. "Yeah, let's give it to him." Applejack said. "Oh boy!" Gohan said, wolfing them down. "Okay, but now that filly in there's the best chance of finding out what in the hay is going on around here." Applejack said. "We better go inside and get some more!" She said a little loudly. Then the seven entered and went downstairs. It was a little dark with only one light bulb. "Hello?" Twilight called. "Sugar Belle?" She asked. "Thank you for coming!" Sugar Belle said, emerging from the dark with a forced smile. "Why did you want us to come down here?" Twilight asked. "So nopony could see what's about to happen." Sugar Belle said. Then, two more ponies showed up. A pegasus and a unicorn. Twilight, thinking the worst, began to charge some magic before... "Are you really the Princess of Friendship?" "Do you know Princess Celestia?" Then Sugar Belle went to Pinkie Pie. "I love your cutie mark!" Then the pegasus went to Rarity and Fluttershy. "How can you be friends with different cutie marks? Don't you end up hating each other?" She asked. Then Sugar Belle went to Fluttershy. "Oh, look at this one! This one's great too! I'd love to have my special talent back even just for a day! Make something besides those disgusting muffins." Sugar Belle said, suddenly having a change of tone. "So what's stopping you? Go get your cutie marks back." Rainbow Dash said. "Daydreaming is one thing, but having them actually put back on? That seems extreme." The earth pony said. Rainbow Dash rolled her eyes. "I'm not sure Starlight would like that... She wants us all to be happy and our sameness." Sugar Belle said. "How do you take somepony's cutie mark anyway?" Twilight asked. "The cutie unmarking is a beautiful experience! Starlight uses the Staff of Sameness to magically take them away and replace them with these." The pegasus said, showing off her equal sign. "Nobody should keep you from having your own cutie mark." Gohan said. "Yeah, it represents such an important part of who you are." Twilight said. "Well, we're not kept from them. They're in the vault, up in the caves! We can visit them anytime we like to visit the heartache of a life with special talent." The pegasus said. "That sounds incredibly sad." Gohan said. "Can we visit this cave?" Twilight asked. *** Starlight Glimmer was escorting the seven to this vault. Double Diamond was behind the group. "I'm delighted you're interested in our cutie mark vault! We hope someday, everypony in Equestria will make a pilgrimage here to our little village, and to have theirs removed too! And our perfect message of-" Starlight rambled on. "This must be the reason we're here." Twilight whispered. "Pilgrimaging?" Pinkie Pie asked. "No, she might've took their cutie marks against their wills. We should get those ponies their cutie marks back." Gohan said. "Oh, are you sure Twilight? Maybe they miss them a little bit, but even they didn't seem all that unhappy." Fluttershy said. "But their happiness seems to be forced, or faked." Gohan said. "Yes, and why did they want to meet us in secret? Why did they ask us not to tell Starlight about who told us about the vault?" Twilight asked. "Something is not right." Twilight said. Then, they arrived at a cave. "Just through here!" Starlight Glimmer said, walking in. Everyone followed. "Behold!" Starlight Glimmer said. Everyone was in awe at the screen of cutie marks! There was also a table with some sort of staff. "Our cutie mark vault!" Starlight said. All sorts of cutie marks were there, such as instruments, foods, science, sports, flying, etc. "I've never seen anything like it!" Twilight said. "And here is the Staff of Sameness! It was one of the great Mage Meadowbrooks Nine Items! We are incredibly fortunate to have it here!" Starlight said. "This is the tool that allows us to free ourselves from our marks!" She said, before looking a little too weird. She quickly composed herself. "I'm curious, how did the subject of the vault come up?" Starlight asked. "Oh, some ponies were telling us how much they miss their cutie marks and-" "Pinkie!" Twilight interrupted. "Oops! Sorry!" Pinkie Pie said, covering her mouth. Starlight gasped. "Were they? Well, it seems you inspire all sorts of free thinking!" She said, approaching the Mane 6 with the staff. "Don't you." She said seriously, having a change in tone. Gohan stepped forward. "You aren't taking any more ponies' cutie marks." He said. "Oh really? Let's put that theory to the test, shall we?" Starlight asked. Suddenly, more ponies appeared! "It's a trap!" Twilight said. Gohan shot many ki blasts from his palm to only hurt, not kill them. Twilight teleported to the top of the cave to fire her magic. But, Starlight used the staff on her! She instantly took Twilight's cutie mark... Starlight looked at the mark in fascination. "No!" Gohan yelled. She put it in the vault before using it on the Mane 6. "Give them their cutie marks back!" Gohan shouted. "Why don't you also give up YOURS!?" Starlight asked, using the staff on him. Nothing had happened. "H-Huh?" Starlight asked. "I have no cutie mark, but I have a personal grudge against those who hurt my friends." Gohan said, walking up slowly to Starlight. "If you give them their cutie marks back, I won't blast you towards the sun." He said. "That won't happen!" Starlight yelled. The other ponies charged at Gohan. Gohan's ki flared and knocked them each to the wall. The Mane 6 were barely managing to get up. "Are you alright?" Gohan asked. They could barely talk. "They will know... YOU will know!" Starlight yelled, using the staff again to no avail. Gohan kicked her into the wall. He kicked her flank, and... The equal sign... Disappeared. In its place was a cutie mark. "You had your cutie mark this whole time, Starlight!" Gohan yelled, pointing at finger at Starlight. Gohan's yell could be heard from the village, prompting everyone to rush to the cave. Starlight glared at Gohan in anger and shock. The other ponies looked in shock. "How... Could you!?" Party Favor asked. "You said cutie marks were evil! You said they lead to heartache and pain!" Double Diamond said. "T-They do! D-Don't you see, look that them!" Starlight said, pointing at the weak Mane 6. The rest of the town showed up. "Y-You had your cutie mark!?" Everyone asked. "This is the horrific truth of Starlight Glimmer's idea of 'friendship!' So that she would be on top, and the rest of us would all unknowingly fall under her command." Gohan called. "W-Why? Why did you give up theirs and not your own?" Sugar Belle asked. "I... I-I HAD TO YOU FOOLS!" Starlight screamed. "How could I collect any of your cutie marks without MY magic!?" She yelled. "But the staff has all the magic we need!" The pegasus from earlier shouted. "The STAFF is a piece of wood I made in the desert! It's MY magic that makes this all possible. You'd all be living your miserable lives thinking your better than anypony else if it weren't for MY magical ability! I brought you all Friendship, I brought you all equality, I CREATED HARMONY!" Starlight screamed. The Mane 6 stood tall. "You LIED to us!" Double Diamond shouted. "So what? Everything else I said is true! The only way to be happy is if we're all equal!" Starlight said. "Except for YOU!" Party Favor said. Starlight was ready to fire her magic, and Gohan stepped in front of the fooled ponies. "Everypony has their own talents and gifts!" Twilight shouted. "And when we share with each other, that's how we-" "QUIET!" Starlight screamed at the top of her lungs. Veins were popping out of her neck. "You can't have that cutie mark, Starlight! Either we're all equal or NONE of us are!" Sugar Belle shouted. The townsfolk began to gang up on her. The cave was blocked, and the Mane 6 blocked any way behind her. But, Starlight used magic to pushed everyone away. She instantly dashed towards the town! ...Only to be stopped by a Gohan who grabbed her. "Now, give them all back their cutie marks! They want it back!" Gohan shouted. "N-Never!" Starlight screamed. "Do you want to be thrown into the sun, you fool!?" Gohan asked, starting to aim. Starlight was scared for her life. "F-Fine! FINE! I surrender!" She yelled. Gohan flew up and blasted the vault open. Everyone's cutie mark returned to their rightful owners! Not only that, but their manes and tails were back to normal as well! "Are you all willing to give up everything for these strangers!?" Starlight yelled in desperation. "We gave everything up to you because we thought you were our friend!" A pony yelled. Starlight Glimmer blasted the ponies in a last attempt. Twilight jumped in front and blocked it with her magic! "W-Wha!? I studied that spell for years! How can you-" "I studied magic for years too. But what I didn't know then was that studying could only take me so far!" Twilight interrupted. "Each of my friends have taught me something different about myself! It was their unique gifts and passions and personalities that helped me bring out the magic inside of me. I would have never known that I represent the Element of Magic without these six! And I certainly wouldn't be able to stop you now!" Twilight said. "Spare me your sentimental nonsense! I gave these ponies friendships they never could have had otherwise!" Starlight retorted. "How do you know that!? You never even gave us a chance!" Double Diamond yelled. Starlight teleported away in anger, not taking Gohan with her. "S-She got away!" Rainbow Dash yelled. "Don't worry. She'll come back when she realizes that she was wrong, and that you all taught her something." Twilight said. Then, Party Favor came up to Twilight. "It was you who have taught us something! We all came to this village because we were searching for something missing from our lives. We thought Starlight had given it to us, but now, now it seems like it was in front of us all along. It's us!" He said. Every one of the townsfolk hugged each other in joy. "Does that mean you'll stay in the village?" Twilight asked. "It's our home, I'm not going anywhere." The blue pegasus said. "This is a chance for us all to get to know each other again for the very first time!" Double Diamond said. "And I have a chance to bake something other than terrible muffins!" Sugar Belle said. Then everyone was back in the village. A huge celebration was being held. Gohan happened to be wolfing down the near endless sweets Sugar Belle made. The Mane 6 looked from afar. "Now THOSE are real smiles!" Pinkie Pie said. Applejack could feel her cutie mark suddenly glowing. The six each had a glowing cutie mark. "I don't think I'll ever get used to that." Applejack said. "I think it's simply divine." Rarity said. Gohan happened to be glowing yellow. "Does this mean the map is calling us somewhere else?" Fluttershy asked. "I think it means our work here is done!" Twilight said. "GOHAN! GET UP HERE!" Rainbow Dash screamed. "GOHAN! GET UP HERE!" Rainbow Dash yelled. Gohan took one more cupcake before leaving. "I'll be right back!" He yelled. Sugar Belle waved. "Looks like you were right, Twilight. The map did send us for a reason! We brought real friendship to these here ponies. Guess that's why your the Princess of Friendship." Applejack said with a wink. "But the map didn't send me, it sent us! You're a part of me, all of you! And there's no doubt each of you are here to help me in my mission to spread friendship too." Twilight said. Then everyone got into a group hug. "This feels like an ending! It doesn't have to be an ending yet, right? 'Cause that Sugar Belle can BAKE!" Pinkie Pie said. "You're telling me." Gohan said. "Maybe we could stay a LITTLE while longer. Come on!" Twilight said, trotting towards the village with her friends.
Gohan's Life through Season 5Season 5 was actually the most impacting on Gohan. You'll see why. (By the way, Gala is being pushed to later in the season. You'll see why.) The unison of Cranky Doodle Donkey and Matilda was just great with that damn monster. *** A GIANT F**KING BUG BEAR IS ATTACKING PONYVILLE RIGHT NOW! CALL THE SOLAR GUARD, WE NEE- Oop, wait, oh no. That's clearly not- Oh dear, no. Gohan blasted it for us. And then the two were finally united. The end! Well, not after some stupid date mistake and wedding problems. *** Luna's nightmares were certainly an adventure for everyone. *** Luna just turned into Nightmare Moon again! But the Mane 6 just turned her back to normal... After receiving the Rainbow Power at will... And everyone hugged her... And she woke up! "A... Happy ending...? That! Cannot! Happen!" Luna said. *** The Mane 6 and Gohan were at the boutique... He was helping them out with grooming their pets. The seven each had a nightmare last night! And they were tired the next day. Except for Pinkie Pie, cuz... You know. And Gohan, because... SENZU BEAN! Rainbow Dash yawned. "Yeah Rarity... Thanks for setting all this up." Rainbow Dash said, drowsily scrubbing her pet Tank's shell. "A grooming day for our pets was a really good idea..." Fluttershy said. Her bunny Angel was asleep on her lap. Rarity was combing Opal's tail until she fell asleep and accidentally stuck it in Opal's back. Opal jumped up, clinging to the ceiling. "O-Oh my, I'm so sorry! I didn't get my beauty sleep last night." Rarity said. Opal hissed in response. "Really? I barely slept. I had a horrible nightmare." He said. "Well..." Twilight said before yawning. "I didn't really sleep well either." She said. Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy and Applejack nodded. Pinkie Pie was as energetic as ever. She was doing cartwheels all over the place. "I'm totally beat too!" Pinkie Pie yelled. Applejack nearly fell asleep, before her dog Winona woke her up with a bark. "Alright Winona..." Applejack said drowsily, reaching for the brush. She accidentally grabbed Pinkie Pie's pet Gummy. "Time for your brushing..." She said. Gummy bit Winona on the ear. Winona reacted by shaking Gummy off, and Gummy landed on Owlicious, and Owlicious pushed Twilight into water after flying up. "Whoops... I guess I'm too plum tuckered out to do it right." Applejack said. Fluttershy yawned. "I know I went to bed early last night, but then I had a really scary nightmare..." She said. "Me too!" Everyone said. "U-Uh, only, you know, I didn't think mine was THAT bad." Rainbow Dash said. "Well mine sure was. There was this blue smoke monster, and-" Twilight said, before realizing all eyes were on her. "What?" She asked. "I dreamt of a blue smoke thingy too!" Fluttershy said. "Me too!" The rest of the Mane 6 said. "Same here! But it was suddenly killed by some pink thing, and it charged at me only to phase through me to kill my mother, who suddenly appeared behind me. It was gruesome. And for some reason she had her hair in a bun..." Gohan said. "Why did you say that like it was a completely normal sentence...?" Rainbow Dash asked. "What? It's a dream." Gohan said. "Well... It's probably just a coincidence." Rainbow Dash said. "That's an awfully big coincidence." Twilight said, getting out of the water. Spike brought her towels. "Huh. I wonder why I didn't have that nightmare. I slept great!" Spike said. "So then... What could've given us all the same nightmare?" Rarity asked. "I don't know..." Twilight said, drying herself "Why don't we go to Princess Luna? She might know." Gohan said. "Good idea! Spike, could you send a scroll to Princess Luna?" Twilight asked. "Sure!" Spike said, pulling a scroll and a quill out of nowhere. "Dear Princess Luna, Last night, all my friends and I dreamt of a creature with blue smoke. For some reason, it died in Gohan's dream but he had a nightmare regardless. I'm sure you're very busy, but when you have the chance, please let me know if you have any idea of what it could be. Yours, Princess Twilight Sparkle." Twilight said. Spike sent the letter to Princess Luna. Not even three seconds later, Luna came bursting through the door. "Which of you saw the creature of blue smoke in your nightmare!?" Luna asked. "Wow... That was fast..." Fluttershy said. "We all did." Twilight said. "Not me!" Spike bragged. "Ugh!" Rainbow Dash said. "We know!" Her, Rarity and Applejack said. "So you've encountered the smoke monster too?" Twilight asked. "The Tantabus is a creature of my nightmares. It escaped from my slumbers yesterday." Luna said. "B-But, how did it get into ours?" Fluttershy asked. "The Tantabus is like a parasite. My dreams must no longer be enough for it... Now it seeks others to infect and corrupt. It must learned a few tricks from being in my dreams." Luna said. "Whoa, whoa, whoa, so what you're sayin' is... He dreamt about all of them, and not me?" Spike asked. He felt left out. "Well, so the smoke gave us bad dreams. No biggie!" Rainbow Dash said. Luna shook her head. "I saw that the Tantabus had grown more powerful. But I did not realize that power was enough to enable it to escape my dreams." She said. "If it's power grows, it can find a way to escape into the real world! It can turn all of Equestria into a living nightmare!" She added. "Okay, okay, okay! I take it back! It's bad! Really bad!" Rainbow Dash said. "How can we stop it?" Gohan asked. *** Everyone was back at Twilight's castle. "We've prepared everything exactly as you requested, Princess Luna." Twilight said. Eight beds, with seven around Twilight's. "Very good, you seven shall slumber here. I will visit the dreams it soon infests." Luna said. "OOH! Sounds like a princess sleepover!" Pinkie Pie said, hopping into bed. Everyone got into bed. "Speaking of princesses, aren't you going to ask Princess Celestia for her help?" Twilight asked. "There is nothing my sister can do. She has no power in the realm of sleep. Only I can move from dream to dream. I'm afraid nopony can help me tonight." Luna said. "Even us?" Applejack asked. "Especially you! You've all suffered so much because of me. You need only slumber as I hunt the Tantabus in your dream." Luna said. Spike was pulling on her mane. "I know you said you wanted nopony to help, so I'm helping!" Spike said, jumping on a bed. "So I'm gonna stay awake and keep watch!" Spike said, forcefully keeping his eyes open. "Aw! Thank you Spike!" Twilight said. "Well, I guess one advantage of not sleeping yesterday is being able to sleep today..." Applejack said, closing her eyes. Pinkie Pie suddenly appeared next to her in the bed. "Are you crazy! This is so exciting! I don't see how we can-" Pinkie Pie said before falling asleep. Everyone fell asleep. Except for the two. Luna accessed each one's dream. Starting with Rarity. "Oh my!" Rarity said. Her dream was full of dresses floating around. "This is simply divine!" Rarity said. The Tantabus was lurking around, however. It turned one of the dresses into a monster with snakes and a mouth! Rarity reacted by blasting it away. The Tantabus turned all but one of the dresses into monsters. Princess Luna appeared. "It is here!" She said. The monsters ripped up the last beautiful dress. Rarity began to cry. "What kind of monster would do this!?" She sobbed, grabbing the remains. "The Tantabus." Luna said. "The let's stop it!" Rarity yelled. "No! You have suffered enough! I will catch it!" Luna said, charging at the Tantabus. The Tantabus summoned the dress monsters, who quickly fell to Luna. The Tantabus fled to another dream. "Oh no! I'm sorry, it fled into another dream! I must go where you cannot!" Luna said, flying after it. *** Pinkie Pie's dream was all dandy. She was walking about and singing. And whenever she jumped, she was in a new location. Like a dragon's nest, to a forest, to the Everfree Forest, and some heavenly place. Where Princess Luna was. "I followed the Tantabus here. Now I need only find it!" She said. Pinkie Pie jumped to the jungle. "Sorry, can't find it! Hops stuck in my head and-" She said as she jumped into a cake wonderland. "OOH! Cake!" She squealed. The Tantabus was lurking yet again. It turned a cake into a monster. And more. "EW! Cake!" Pinkie Pie said. The cakes were coming at her. Luna appeared, destroying each one. The Tantabus fled into a cake box, and Luna charged after it. Only to smash into Spike's statue at the Crystal Empire. "No!" Luna said. "Sorry!" Pinkie Pie said. Luna went after the Tantabus again. *** Fluttershy's dream was nice. A giant Angel was brushing Fluttershy's hair outside her cottage. "It's so nice to be the pet for once..." Fluttershy mumbled. The Tantabus was lurking again. It turned Angel into a Bunny Monster! He grew claws, teeth, red eyes, and even bigger! It roared at Fluttershy. "N-N-Nice... Giant... Evil... Angel!?" Fluttershy said, cowering. She screamed before Angel tried to grab her, but Luna saved her in time, placing her atop a giant tree. "Phew, oh thank you Princess!" Fluttershy said. The Tantabus escaped into another dream. Luna quickly followed. And now the monster was trying to take the tree down. *** Applejack dreamt of apples. She was polishing a giant apple twice her size. "Now this is what I call an incredible dream!" Applejack said. The Tantabus was lurking yet again. It turned Applejack's trees into dead ones. Luna appeared from an apple. She searched for the Tantabus. The Tantabus made the giant apple rot! And escaped to another dream through it! *** Rainbow Dash was beating up a horde of changelings. Luna blasted one away. "I can already see the Tantabus has already turned your dream into a nightmare!" She said. "What are you talking about? This is my favorite dream!" Rainbow Dash said, delivering a backhand. The Tantabus turned her dream into a wonderland. Flowers were singing and playing SHITTYFLUTE. (If you know it then I clap for you) Rainbow Dash screamed. The Tantabus fled into yet another dream! *** Twilight's dream was... Reading. She was in a library. The Tantabus turned her books into monsters. They flew at Twilight. The Tantabus was about to devour Twilight, until Luna appeared and blasted the Tantabus. "Luna!" Twilight said. The Tantabus was growing weaker, so it escaped into Gohan's dream! *** Gohan's dream was... Just like the last one. Some pink thing he couldn't identify was killing his past. Gohan tried to attack it, but did nothing. It smacked Gohan away with ease. Tienshinhan, Chiaotzu and Piccolo were being killed this time. "Pathetic!" It yelled. Gohan turned into a Super Saiyan, but even that did nothing. The Tantabus was lurking around yet again. It attempted to devour Gohan, but he made his aura flare and fired a heavy blast at it. Half of the Tantabus was blasted away. The unidentified pink thing slashed it in two. "Get out of my sight!" It yelled. Luna appeared in the dream, only to be slashed by this pink figure. "No!" Gohan yelled, turning Super Saiyan 2 and charging at the pink thing. The Tantabus engulfed Luna. All of a sudden, everything around Gohan went black. He looked around to see someone in an orange gi. He was a child, perhaps three quarters the size of Gohan. He turned around at Gohan. "Hi! Please help me." He said, with a very high voice. "What...?" Gohan muttered. The pink thing cut him in two! But... It wasn't as gruesome. In fact, it looked like he just dematerialized instead of blood gushing everywhere. The pink thing charged at Gohan, and Gohan crossed his arms in a last attempt to block. *** Gohan woke up! Everyone else woke up beforehand. "My gosh Gohan, why are you so mad!?" Spike yelled. "Huh!?" Gohan asked. "Yeah... Why are you a Super Saiyan 2?" Rainbow Dash asked. "I am?" Gohan asked. He looked at his drooping hair. "Oh." He said, powering down. "I am sorry, my friends, I have failed. It will be back to infect your dreams the next time you sleep. But it was somehow weakened by Gohan..." Luna said. "What? How?" Gohan asked. "You blasted it, halving it's size, correct?" Luna asked. "Are you saying I weakened it?" Gohan asked. "Yes, we will need you to kill it! Though... It appears that the Tantabus did not make your dream a nightmare... It didn't seem like a nightmare." Luna said. "Should I fall back asleep to try again?" Gohan asked. "I doubt the Tantabus will return to your dream." Luna said. "Do you think the rest of Ponyville is infected? Because in my dream, I was having a big ice cream cone in town and everypony came!" Pinkie Pie said. "WHAT!?" Luna asked. "All of Equestria will be doomed! It gains more and more power as it enters dreams!" Luna said. "We can't catch the varmit either!" Applejack said. "What if we all had the same dream?" Twilight asked. "I do have the ability to connect dreams... But I fear it may not work. I probably don't possess such power." Luna said. "Then take mine!" Gohan said, giving half of his full power to Luna. "W-What is... What!?" Luna asked, brimming with power. "Let's stop the Tantabus, back to sleep everyone!" Gohan said. Everyone nodded as they drifted off. Luna performed the spell, and intertwined everyone's dreams. *** It was a bit of a catastrophe, flying muffins and whatnot. There were flying earth ponies, a giant Derpy Hooves making bird noises, and Lyra and Bon Bon being stuck together. Those were just a few of the many dumb things. Gohan was looking around for the Tantabus, he could sense it. It was approaching the dream town with an expanded size. All of the ponies began to cower, and ran away. Gohan turned Super Saiyan. "Hurry, Gohan!" Luna yelled from afar. Gohan blasted the Tantabus to no avail, it was only minimized. "I can't do it alone, and it keeps getting stronger!" Gohan yelled as he fired more blasts. "Everypony, THIS IS A DREAM! WILL ANYTHING YOU WANT FORTH TO DEFEAT THE TANTABUS!" Luna yelled inside a barrier connecting the dreams. Many ponies did everything, summoning money powers, Power Pony powers, nightmare powers, Big Bird Foot powers, Cat in the Hat Table powers, and etc. Despite all of the crazy attacks, it kept growing in size, making the surroundings monsters, and desperately clawing to access the rest of Equestria. Gohan figured something out. 'I can use Instant Transmission!' He thought, putting two fingers to his head. He appeared in front of the Tantabus, who was about to enter the ripple to Equestria. His aura flared, making the Tantabus recoil. "Princess Luna! We need a better plan!" Gohan yelled as he threw ki blasts at it. "Yeah! This is isn't working too well!" Fluttershy said, turning into Saddle Ranger. Luna was starting to lose her grip on the dream, her power diminished quickly. Gohan summoned Goku in the dream. Surprisingly, a Super Saiyan Blue one. "Why is your hair blue?" Gohan asked. "This is what it's like to go beyond a Super Saiyan God!" Goku yelled, charging at the Tantabus. "Super Saiyan... What?" Gohan asked. The Tantabus was quickly beaten down by Goku. But it grew stronger as well. "I can barely hold this dream! Equestria will fall... Because of me!" Luna sobbed, actually crying. The Tantabus grew in size, but was halted by the dream Goku. It was temporary, and the Tantabus grew even larger. "I think it's feeding off your guilt, Princess Luna!" Twilight yelled. "KAIO-KEN!" Goku yelled, beating up the Tantabus even more. Gohan's mouth, along with everyone else was agape. "Is that so!? Perhaps that it is how it grew strong enough to escape in the first place!" Luna said. "Say what now!?" Applejack asked. The Tantabus attempted to leave the dream again, only to be halted by a Kaio-ken 3x Goku. "I created the Tantabus to give myself the same nightmare every night... To punish myself for the evil I caused as Nightmare Moon!" Luna sobbed. "But why would you do that!?" Fluttershy yelled. Goku was now at 4x. "To make sure I never forgave myself for how much Equestria suffered because of me..." Luna sobbed. "But it seems I have not learned my lesson, for now I have only made you suffer more!" She sobbed. The Tantabus grew even larger, as Luna's guilt grew. Goku was now at 5x. 'Dad... You're awesome.' Gohan thought. "But that means you're the key to stopping all of this!" Twilight said. "Yeah! If it gets strong as you feel bad like you did as Nightmare Moon, then you have to stop feeling bad for what you did!" Rainbow Dash yelled in her attempts as Zapp to stop the Tantabus, who evolved into a giant alicorn. "But how could I forgive myself!? I am no better now than I was then, my creation is about to turn the world into a living nightmare!" Luna sobbed. "But look at what you're doing! Nightmare Moon would've wanted the Tantabus to turn Equestria into a nightmare! You're doing everything you can to stop it!" Twilight yelled. Goku was now at 6x. "Don't you see!? That proves you aren't the same pony, Princess Luna! You're better! We all know Nightmare Moon is in the past, and you have to let go!" Gohan yelled. "We all trust you, Princess Luna! Do you trust us to believe we're right!?" Twilight asked. Goku was now at 10x. His aura on top of an aura flared even brighter. Luna started to smile and stop crying. "I do..." She said. The Tantabus recoiled and shrunk in size. It went into Princess Luna where it ultimately disappeared. "Thank you! Thank you all!" Luna said. Gohan bowed and ran to his father. ...But the dream ended and now he couldn't talk to him again. *** It was sunrise... Everyone woke up! "Luna did it!" Twilight yelled. "She sure did!... But I'm not exactly sure what she did." Applejack said. "Luna created the Tantabus to punish herself, the worse she felt, the more power it gained. But when she finally forgave herself for what Nightmare Moon did..." Twilight said. "Poof!" Spike said. Fluttershy hushed them. She pointed her hoof at a sleeping Luna. So peacefully. "Huh. Wonder what she's dreaming about now." Spike said. "Same here... Oh, and I learned Instant Transmission!" Gohan said. "You did?" Twilight asked. "Yep!" Gohan said, teleporting all over the room. He finally stopped on his bed. "H-How!? You couldn't do it before!" Twilight said. "I took it from the dream." Gohan said. "You can't attain anything from dreams!" Twilight said. "Except knowledge." Gohan said with a smirk. "I- Oh. I should've thought of that." Twilight said. *** (To clarify, Dream Goku is weak as hell. Even as a SSGSS he sucks. Regular Goku would eat the Tantabus as a snack.) When Shining Armor and Cadence told everyone they were having a baby, everyone was shocked. Especially Gohan. *** "A baby!?" Gohan said to himself. "Dear Son Gohan, We cordially invite you to the party of our upcoming baby. It will be held at Sugarcube Corner on Friday. We ask that you provide extra security and do not tell anypony else about this. Especially Twilight. We also have a very big surprise for you. We hope to see you! Yours, Shining Armor Princess Cadence" "Oh boy! So they finally had one!" He said to himself. *** The Mane 6 arrived at Sugarcube Corner after a scavenger hunt. Gohan, Shining Armor and Cadence were all waiting there. "Surprise!" Shining Armor said. He walked up to Twilight. "Twily, did you like the scavenger hunt?" He asked. "It was perfect! Just like old times! This time it was better because I got to share it with my best friends!" Twilight said. "There's just one thing missing, isn't there? You know, the book prize at the end...?" She asked. Shining Armor chuckled. "There's still a prize, but it's a little different this time." He said. "Oh... I don't understand. Does Gohan know?" Twilight asked. Pinkie Pie grinned widely and squealed. "Not really, I'm waiting for it as much as you." Gohan said. "All the places we sent you to today have something in common." Cadence said. "...First we went to the schoolhouse..." Twilight said. Pinkie Pie was struggling to keep it in. "Then we read the Foal Free Press," Twilight said. Pinkie Pie was biting her own tongue at this point. "We had to see Applejack's birth certificate," Twilight said. Pinkie Pie held the Cakes' babies in her hooves. "And then the last clue was under a crib." She said. Pinkie Pie was dying. "Hm... School, foal, birth certificate, crib..." She said. Twilight had the realization and gasped. "Can it be!? Are you two...?" Twilight asked. "WE'RE HAVING A BABY!" Cadence and Shining Armor said. "A BABY TWILIGHT! IT'S A BABY!" Pinkie Pie yelled as she sprung around the room screaming: "Woohoo!" Twilight was shocked. "Y-You mean... I'm gonna be an aunt!?" Twilight asked. The soon to be parents smiled. "THIS IS THE BEST PRIZE EVER!" Twilight exclaimed, smiling brightly. The two laughed. Twilight ran up to give Shining Armor a hug. "Oh I love you guys! And I can't wait to meet your little foal!" Twilight said. "Neither can we. And Gohan, we haven't told you your surprise yet." Shining Armor said. "I want to know." Gohan said with a smile. "We personally ask you... To be the godfather." Cadence said. (I'm using Chinese tradition, not Christian nor Jewish. Don't go to the comments saying I was wrong.) Gohan's smile turned into a shocked face. "G-Godfather!?" He asked. "Godfather!?" Everyone else except for Shining Armor asked. Gohan's mouth was agape. He pointed at himself. Cadence giggled. "Of course! If anything were to happen, we want to put our trust in you to take care of the foal." She said. Gohan regained his composure and smiled brightly. "I'd be honored!" He said. "But why me?" He soon asked. "Well, we trust you the most to protect our foal. You are the strongest being on this planet, and possibly the universe." Shining Armor said. "Aw..." Gohan said, blushing a little. "Woohoo! Gohan's gonna be a GODFATHER!" Pinkie Pie screamed. "Wow! You have yet another duty, Gohan!" Twilight said. "Yep!" Gohan said. "And with Gohan's new awesome ability, it should be easy!" Rainbow Dash said. "What is it?" Shining Armor asked. "Oh, it's just this." Gohan said, putting two fingers to his forehead. "Tell me anywhere in Equestria." He said. "Mostcow...?" Cadence asked. "Okay, be right back." He said vanishing. He suddenly came back with an fur hat. "Привет." He said. "D-Did you just go to Mostcow!?" Shining Armor asked. "Yes. Now I demand some блин!" Gohan yelled. Everyone looked at him confused. "Pancakes. I want some pancakes." He said. "I'LL GET YOU SOME!" Pinkie Pie yelled, rushing into the kitchen. *** Hearth's Warming was pretty good. He went to the world of Equestria Girls for it. (I'm technically using the 2014 Comic Special for this, but changing it pretty drastically. By drastically I mean barely, I'm just putting a few lines for Gohan! Just kidding, but hah!) *** Gohan stared at the town from afar. 'Hearth's Warming... It's coming. It's just like Christmas... Families get to together, while me and plenty of others are alone... Again.' He thought. Despite this negative thought, he couldn't help but smile. Twilight was approaching with Celestia's book to Sunset Shimmer. "Gohan!" She yelled. "What's up?" Gohan asked. "Read!" Twilight said, opening the book with her magic. "Dear Princess.... Huh?" Gohan asked. "They want you to go there for Hearth's Warming! Well, a before party, technically." Twilight said, closing the book. "Huh. That's... That's good." Gohan said a little too excitedly. Twilight giggled. "Why are you so excited? Do you have a crush~?" She sneered. "No!" Gohan retorted. "It's just... Hearth's Warming hasn't been a happy occasion for me. Except for when I got my sword, I felt that was a Chris- I mean, Hearth's Warming present. I'm just really happy that they invited me." He said. "Well, you better get them a present!" Twilight said. "I'm already on it!" Gohan said as he flew away. "Thanks for telling me!" He yelled at Twilight. Twilight waved. *** Gohan had a blue sack full of gifts for his friends. He was at Twilight's castle, where the decorations were crazy. "So you're going over there for Hearth's Warming? You better be a stud over there." Spike joked. "Hey! I don't want that!" Gohan retorted. "Come on, don't you have a crush or two over there?" Spike joked. "No." Gohan said. "Oh. Okay...? I'm actually surprised." Twilight said. "...I'll be leaving now." Gohan said, ending the awkwardness. "You best." Twilight and Spike said. Gohan entered the portal. *** The human Mane 6 were outside the portal, wearing all kinds of coats and scarves. It was snowing. "Is he even coming?" Rainbow Dash asked. "It's only been two minutes." Applejack said. "I know, but this is boring!" Rainbow Dash whined. "He visits like, every two days. Except for the last two weeks. Calm down!" Sunset Shimmer said. "And we are doing this for him. He doesn't spend Hearth's Warming with a family. At least, not anymore." Fluttershy said. "I wonder if he'll get us gifts!" Pinkie Pie said. "I doubt it. He's only a kid! What kid can-" Rarity said before Gohan came through the portal with a blue sack. "Well, I'll be." Rarity said. "Hi..." He said awkwardly. "What's with the sack?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Gifts." Gohan said. "That's very thoughtful of you." Fluttershy said. Gohan laughed awkwardly. "It's not like I'd show up empty handed..." He said. *** The human Mane 6 and Gohan were in Pinkie Pie's room for Hearth's Warming Eve. "I'm surprised you all were able to come here. I expected you all to be with your families." Gohan said. "Come on! We're all technically family here!" Pinkie Pie said. "Yeah, and we'd rather spend Hearth's Warming with someone without a family to do it with." Rainbow Dash said. "Aw, you didn't have to..." Gohan said, blushing lightly. "Of course we did! I would feel horrible if I spent Hearth's Warming knowing you didn't have somebody to spend it with." Fluttershy said. "You're too nice, Fluttershy." Rainbow Dash said. "But she has seriously huge amounts of hidden potential as a fighter! Remember when she was able to knock you out with a single punch, Rainbow?" Gohan asked. "Hey! I was taking it easy on her!" Rainbow Dash retorted. "I'm still sorry I did that." Fluttershy said. "Yeah, okay." Rainbow Dash said. "What's happened over there?" Applejack asked. "Well, I'm going to be a godfather now." Gohan said. "No way! Why?" Pinkie Pie asked. "Because the princess trusts me, as I'm the strongest being on the planet and we're very close." Gohan said. "That's cool." Sunset Shimmer said. "Oh, and I learned this." Gohan said, putting two fingers to his head and teleporting around the entire room multiple times. "Okay, this is scaring me!" Fluttershy said. "The sounds are killing me!" Rarity said. Gohan stopped. "Sorry." He said. "Are you gonna teach us that!?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Of course!... Once you all learn how to use ki." Gohan said. "Awesome." Rainbow Dash said. "Anything happen over here?" Gohan asked. "While doing exercises, I, as awesome as I am, somehow grew my wings." Rainbow Dash said. "It was truly a shock." Rarity said. "Perhaps that's even more hidden potential in you all." Gohan said. "Other than that, nothing really." Sunset Shimmer said. "Okay." Gohan said. "Now it's time for the fun part of a slumber party!" Pinkie Pie said, putting emphasis on fun. "...Huh?" Gohan asked. "It's time for more gossip and hair brushing and video games and scary stories and hanging out and talking and best of all..." Pinkie Pie sputtered. Then Maud Pie appeared in the doorway carrying sixteen pizzas. "Here are the sixteen pizzas you ordered, Pinkie." She said. Pinkie Pie hugged her sister. "Oh Maud! You're the best sister ever!" She exclaimed. "The grease is dripping on my shoes." Maud said. Gohan lifted the pizzas from Maud's hands. "Thank you." She said, walking away. Gohan set the pizzas on the ground. "Why did you order about 210 dollars worth of pizzas!?" He asked. "Mainly for you, silly!" Pinkie Pie said. "You guys really didn't have to do all this." Gohan said. "Agreement." Sunset Shimmer said. "Why? Is this also a returning experience for you?" Gohan asked. "Yep. It's been a while since I've celebrated Hearth's Warming. Even as Princess Celestia's student I barely spent Hearth's Warming with anypo- Anybody." Sunset Shimmer said. "Well... At least we get to have this good experience." Gohan said. "You know, we're gonna do this EVERYDAY before Hearth's Warming day?" Pinkie Pie said. "At various locations." Rarity said. "May I ask why?" Gohan asked. "Because..." Then Pinkie Pie whispered something in Gohan's ear. "Uh... Okay. I can't come to any more after this." He said. "Why, darling?" Rarity asked. "I can't keep slacking on my training, and I also may never know when I'm called to solve a friendship problem." Gohan said. "What kind of training has it turned into?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "990x Earth's normal gravity with the same 4300 kilograms of weighted clothing. I tend to use the Multi-Form Technique so I can actually give myself a decent challenge." Gohan said. "Well, you're going to need a feast to satisfy you!" Rarity said. "Now eat up!" Pinkie Pie said, forcefully pulling Gohan's jaw down and stuffing a pizza in his mouth. Gohan chewed very quickly and swallowed. "Please don't do that ever again." He said. Rainbow Dash raced to the video games and started to eat some pizza. "Hey Fluttershy! Play some 'Magic Drive Racer VI Deluxe' with me!" She said. "Oh, I don't know..." Fluttershy said as Rainbow Dash handed her a controller. "It'll help you relax!" Rainbow Dash said. "Thank you, but I-" "Look! You can play as a fuzzy bunny with a monster truck!" Rainbow Dash interrupted. Fluttershy completely changed. "I will destroy all my enemies." She said with flaming eyes. Gohan could feel some random shift in power from her. 'Okay, best to steer clear of that. I feel bad for Rainbow Dash. Again.' He thought. *** Only about an hour later, everyone but Gohan wore their pajamas. He only removed his boots and orange shirt. He neatly folded them in the corner of the room. "Why not take off the blue shirt and keep the orange?" Pinkie Pie asked. "Keeping my weighted clothing on is good for me. I removed my boots. And I'm glad it's not going through the floor." Gohan said. "Thanks, girls- and guy." Sunset Shimmer said. "I haven't done anything like this in a long time! It's good to have friends." She said. "Yep! Without the pony versions of you, I would probably be dead because of numerous stomach ulcers." Gohan said. "That sounds gross!" Rainbow Dash yelled. "That's because it is. Science is what we nerds call disgusting yet intriguing." Gohan said. "Man, it means a lot to me having friends that suppo-" Applejack said before her phone rang. She sighed as she picked up the phone. It was a video chat. "Whoever this is, you just ruined a really heartwarming-" "And disgusting!" Rainbow Dash interrupted. "Moment." Applejack finished. "Hey big sis." Applebloom said on the other side. "Granny wanted me to call and make sure you're doin' alright." Applebloom said. "Of course I am! I'm with all my friends! Including your 'crush.'" Applejack joked. "I don't have a crush on him!" Applebloom retorted. Gohan REALLY didn't want to become Mr. Romantic ever. "Whatever. Tell Granny I'm alright!" Applejack said. "Yeah! She's fine! She's wearing nail polish!" Sunset Shimmer joked. "Lemme see!" Applebloom said. Applejack sighed as she pointed the front camera at her fingernails. Gohan just happened to be in the shot, eating pizza. "Who's that?" Applebloom asked. "It's me." Gohan said. "Oh. I couldn't recognize you by the blue shirt." Applebloom said. "I wear this all the time!" Gohan retorted. "Yeah, yeah, okay. I'm just the messenger. AJ, good night, Piggly Wiggly." Applebloom said, hanging up. "Did your sister just call you 'Piggly Wiggly?'" Sunset Shimmer asked. "Uh, yeah. She did." Applejack said. "Why?" Gohan asked. "When I was real little, I used to follow Granny Smith around when she was doing chores. I specifically loved it when she fed the pigs. So one day, I snuck into the pigpen and played with the pigs. Granny Smith I stayed in there for hours! So she started calling me 'Piggly Wiggly' and the nickname kind of stuck. Applebloom likes to use it when she thinks I'm getting too big for my britches. Well, that's family for you." Applejack said. "Yeah..." Gohan said. "Who wants milk and cookies! Or cocoa! Or cupcakes and cake and everything here!" Pinkie Pie said, suddenly making cups of milk, cocoa, cupcakes, cookies, cake, candy, and etc appear. Everyone was shocked. "H-How did you do that...?" Applejack asked. "I have my secrets!" Pinkie Pie said. "Just like we all do." Gohan said. "Yeah... What kinds of secrets do you have...?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "I'd say probably very similar to people my age. Or people in general." Gohan said. "Why in general?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "Let's change the subject, and stop talking about me. Let's eat!" Gohan said. Everyone cheered as they began to eat the many sweets Pinkie Pie had made. And Gohan just began to devour it. "My goodness! Your metabolism is insane!" Rarity said. "I can't imagine eating like that..." Fluttershy said. Everyone got full of the sweets. Gohan drank most of the milk and cocoa while leaving generous amounts for his friends. "Phew! Thanks Pinkie!" Gohan said, patting his stomach. "No problem!" Pinkie Pie said. "Alright, I'm off to bed." Gohan said, laying down beside the bed. "But we haven't even watched the Hearth's Warming movie! And games!" Pinkie Pie said. "How much of this night did you plan!?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Juuuust a little." Pinkie Pie said. "Perhaps we should move that to tomorrow, it is very late. 10:24 PM!" Rarity said. "Yeah, and I'm ready to crash!" Gohan said. "Let me get you a sleeping bag." Rarity said. "Nah, good night!" Gohan said, closing his eyes. "Are you sure?" Applejack asked. Gohan didn't respond. "How does he do that...?" Rarity asked. "I think it's best not to ask about it." Rainbow Dash said. *** Everyone was asleep. It had been about three hours. Or 1:28 AM, if you care about that. Everyone was dreaming peacefully... Except Gohan, he was having a 'nightmare' again. *** Gohan dreamt of being back on Earth... But back to trying in vain to kill the pink creature murdering everybody. This time it was a town. Gohan tried to hit the creature, only to be punched in the stomach and punched away. 'Wait... This is a dream, right. I can just summon my dad!' Gohan thought. He got up, and imagined his dad! ...Nothing happened. "What!?" Gohan asked. He desperately tried in vain to summon anything. Vegeta landed nearby. He had a bodysuit with no sleeves. "Vegeta!" Gohan said. Vegeta didn't respond, turning Super Saiyan. He let out a war cry as he charged at this creature. He was seemingly brutalizing it. But it stuck a black blade into Vegeta. Vegeta coughed out blood. Gohan rushed to Vegeta's aid, but for some reason, he couldn't touch them. His hands and body phased through them. 'It was just able to hit me a moment ago!' Gohan thought. "Get out of my sight!" It yelled, blasting Vegeta to oblivion. The town was also destroyed. Gohan was unaffected, somehow. Gohan tried in vain to get the pink creature to disappear. He tried imagining, attacking, and even turned Super Saiyan. *** Gohan's grunts and going Super Saiyan awakened the girls around him. "What's going on..." Rainbow Dash asked drowsily. "What's happening to Gohan?" Sunset Shimmer asked. Gohan was sweating, and his aura pushed the blue blanket the girls set on him off him. *** The pink creature flew away, and Gohan quickly followed. He threw ki blasts, everything. Nothing happened! 'What is this, not a dream!?' Gohan thought. Some other yellow being smashed itself into the pink creature. It looked like a mini Goku! "You... Killed... Mom!" He yelled. The pink creature merely laughed in response. "She was clearly begging for me to destroy her. I even ended her in the afterlife." It said. "You killed this kid's mother twice!?" Gohan yelled. "If you must know, it was yours." The pink creature said. "Who are you talking to?" The boy asked. Gohan was shocked. "Y-You didn't kill Chi Chi!" He yelled. The pink creature laughed in response. Gohan was enraged. He knew his mother disowned him, but he had an undying love for her! He turned Super Saiyan 2! Instead, it quickly knocked Gohan aside. 'Suddenly his attacks work!?' Gohan thought. The creature kicked the boy down to the ground. 'Wait... Is he my brother!?' Gohan thought. *** "WAKE UP!" Pinkie Pie yelled, unleashing an air horn in Gohan's ear. Gohan sat up, panting with sweat. "Thank goodness you woke up!" Rarity said. "What kind of nightmare would turn your hair into that!?" Rainbow Dash asked. "W-What!? Where is he!?" Gohan yelled, scanning the room. "Who is he?" Sunset Shimmer asked. Gohan finally realized the dream, or whatever it was was finally over. "P-Please go back to your normal form!" Fluttershy squeaked. "Yeah, your face is really scary." Rainbow Dash said. Gohan realized he was a Super Saiyan 2 in real life. He powered down. "I'm so sorry... I turned into a Super Saiyan 2..." Gohan said. "THAT'S a Super Saiyan 2? No wonder everyone you use it on loses!" Rainbow Dash said. "What kind of nightmare did you even have...?" Rarity asked. "It... Was nothing." Gohan lied. "Definitely not!" Pinkie Pie said. "Sugarcube, I know a lie when I see one." Applejack said. "Look, I really don't want to talk about it! Let's... Let's just go back to sleep!" Gohan said. "Then... Good night." Fluttershy said, going back under her blankets on Pinkie Pie's bed. 'Wasn't this just a Tantabus thing? Why is it back now...? So late?' Gohan thought. *** The next morning, everybody was eating incredible amounts of popcorn and opening gifts. The six were doing some sort of gift exchange while they also gave Gohan a gift. Rainbow Dash exchanged with Fluttershy, Rarity exchanged with Applejack and Pinkie Pie exchanged with Sunset Shimmer. And Gohan brought a damn sack. "Well, here ya go Sunset!" Pinkie Pie said, handing her gift over. Sunset Shimmer unwrapped the candy cane snow wrapping and found a... Another wrap. "How many layers of wrap did you add?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "Only 7!" Pinkie Pie said. Sunset Shimmer finally unveiled... A sunflower pillow. She gasped! "How did you know!?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "Know that you like sunflowers? Just a hunch!" Pinkie Pie said. "Thanks!" Sunset Shimmer said. Rainbow Dash sighed. "Okay, here's yours." She said, handing her gift to Fluttershy. Fluttershy unwrapped her gift. It was a new pink tambourine. "Oh my! I thought none of you knew!" Fluttershy said. "You started to not show up to practice. I also saw you drop it." Rainbow Dash said. "Thank you." Fluttershy said, handing Rainbow Dash her gift. Rainbow Dash received a new video game controller. "Y-You broke yours the last time we were here..." Fluttershy said. "Thanks! This is awesome!" Rainbow Dash said. Rarity gave Applejack her gift. "Here you are." She said. Applejack unwrapped her present to reveal... New apple boots. "Well, I do need some new boots for the fields. Thanks Rarity." Applejack said. She handed Rarity's gift to her. Rarity unwrapped her gift to reveal... A blue sweater with three diamonds/her cutie mark on it. "Aw, it's perfect!" She said, putting it on. "Okay, now it's my turn! For Pinkie, she gets..." Gohan said, pulling out a party cannon for Pinkie Pie. "W-What is that!?" Rainbow Dash asked. "A party cannon! It only shoots out party stuff and confetti. It's not strong enough for an actual cannonball." Gohan said. "I love it!" Pinkie Pie said, firing confetti all over Gohan. "Oops!" She said. "It has about two more shots. You will have to refill it before-" Gohan said before Pinkie Pie fired two more blasts of confetti at Gohan. His entire body was just confetti. Everyone was snickering. Gohan laughed. He uncovered himself and put some of it inside the cannon again. "Don't fire it when it's empty or else it will break down." Gohan said. "How did you even get that?" Fluttershy said. "The other world's Pinkie Pie has about 500 of these." Gohan said. "W-Why did you say that like it was a completely normal sentence...?" Sunset Shimmer said. "Because I stopped questioning it a long time ago. Anyway, for Applejack..." Gohan said, pulling out a lasso. "A lasso!?" Applejack asked. "Mine snapped! Thanks!" She said, taking the gift. "Great! Just don't try to bre-" Gohan said before Applejack lassoed him. "Sorry." She said. "It's fine." He said, getting himself out of the rope. "For Rarity..." Gohan said, pulling out Rarity's fabric from when she visited Manehattan for a competition. "Oh my! It's amazing! It's so vibrant!" Rarity said. "It's an entire roll. Use it however you wish." Gohan said, handing it to her. "Thank you very much." Rarity said. "Alrighty, for Fluttershy..." Gohan said, pulling out a bird's whistle. "Oh my goodness!" Fluttershy said. "It's a bird's whistle." He said, handing it to her. "Thank you so much!" Fluttershy said, blowing into the whistle. Moments later, a bird flew into the window. "Oops! Sorry Mr. Bird!" Fluttershy said. The bird just flew away. "For Rainbow Dash..." Gohan said, pulling out... Nothing? He just walked up to her and put his hand on her head. Rainbow Dash received a slight shock. "W-What did you just do...?" Rainbow Dash asked. "I just gave you the ability to use ki. In a basic way, at most." Gohan said, taking his hand away. "Wait, you just gave her the ability?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "Yeah, I thought she'd like that compared to a book." Gohan said, turning his head towards Sunset Shimmer. "Then you were right!" Rainbow Dash said, firing a very minor and weak ki blast at Gohan. It struck him in the face. "Why don't you just do that to us!?" Pinkie Pie asked. "Relax. I just gave her knowledge on how to utilize her life energy in the most basic way. You'll learn." Gohan said. "Kamehameha!" Rainbow Dash yelled, firing... A very weak yellow blast that fell to the ground and disintegrated. "Oh." She said. "See? She's doesn't have the entire knowledge. And you guys will learn the next time we have a training session." Gohan said. "Cool!" Fluttershy said. "And finally, for Sunset Shimmer..." Gohan said, pulling out... New guitar strings...? "I got the memo that they snapped." Gohan said. "Wait, Twilight told you?" Sunset Shimmer asked, taking them. "You COULD say that." Gohan said. "Thanks! But... These strings are expensive! How did you afford them in Equestria?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "My occupation remains to be protector of Equestria. I receive a hefty paycheck from the princesses every week." Gohan said. "Well... Thanks!" She said. "And now we have to give you your gift!" Pinkie Pie said. "Yeah, and- Wait, you got a gift for me?" Gohan asked. "Uh... Yeah. What did you expect? For us to be greedy?" Rainbow Dash asked. "I... I didn't take this into account, heh." Gohan said. "Well, here you go!" Pinkie Pie said, handing Gohan a present. "We all put our thoughts into it." Fluttershy said. "I'm sure I'll like it." Gohan said, unwrapping it. It was a mock glass four star dragon ball. It looked very authentic. Gohan was confused. "How did you...?" He asked. "We made it! I know you used to wear it on your hat. We all do!" Pinkie Pie said. Gohan smiled. "I love it." He said. "My dad cherished it for his grandpa. I guess I should do the same for them, huh?" Gohan asked. "Yup!" Rainbow Dash said. "And I also cherish it because you guys made it." Gohan said. "Hugs?" He asked, gesturing for a hug. Everyone got into a group hug. "Hey! Let's take a picture of this!" Rainbow Dash said, pulling out her phone. They all took a selfie. Then the rest of the day was spent taking pictures and watching movies like: "How The Grinch Stole Hearth's Warming" and "A Hearth's Warming Carol" And now they had to go home for family stuff. And Gohan went home because of just that. Well, he didn't go to the next slumber party at Rarity's. *** I guess you could call that some sort of holiday special. Discord was a little productive with Gohan during the three days Twilight and Spike were busy in the library. He only raised the gravity machine's capability by... a million. Great for Gohan since he managed to tank 1000x gravity, the max. Finally, he was called by the map to do something about friendship. And again, in the Equestria Girls world. *** Gohan was training in his newly upgraded gravity chamber. He was taking it slow at 1010x normal gravity. Suddenly, he started to glow yellow. "Huh. Wonder why that- Oh!" Gohan said, turning off the machine. He quickly flew to Twilight's castle. *** "So you finally have a friendship problem to solve, huh?" Twilight asked. "Uh, yeah. And the map wants me to go to... The human world. I visit them far too often." Gohan said. "Something hopefully good and not weird." Twilight said. *** Gohan came through the portal yet again, where the Mane 6 were waiting yet again. "Hey! Ready for training?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Sure. But I'm also here for another- Hey... Where's Sunset Shimmer?" Gohan asked. "She went and back stabbed us again!" Applejack said. "Now why would she ever do that?" Gohan asked. "I dunno. She totally made us look horrible in these photos!" Rainbow Dash said, pulling her phone out. The photo in question was Gohan beating Rainbow Dash at soccer. "Hm... Hey, it says it was posted by 'Anon-A-Miss!'" Gohan said. "Uh yeah! Sunset Shimmer is Anon-A-Miss!" Pinkie Pie said. "Really?... This really isn't something she's do..." Gohan noted. "I don't wanna even talk about it anymore." Applejack said. Gohan tried finding Sunset Shimmer's presence... It was inside the library of the school. "I'll be back." He said, walking into the school. "What about training?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Push-ups, sit-ups, and plenty of juice!" Gohan yelled as he entered the school. "Uh... Huh." Applejack said. The rest just looked on in confusion. "Let's just go to Sugarcube Corner." Pinkie Pie said. *** Last period ended, the bell rang, and Sunset Shimmer's free library period ended. She walked in the crowded halls until she bumped into EVERYONE. She eventually fell. "Who did that?" She asked. "Maybe it was Anon-A-Miss." A person said. "Anon-A-Miss." Another person said. "Secret stalker." Another person said. "I can't believe she did that." Another person said. The insults kept pouring in. Sunset Shimmer began to cry. "Traitor." Some said. "You ruined my life." Some said. "Thief." Some said. "Monster." Some said. Sunset Shimmer was really breaking down. Suddenly, "STOP!" Someone yelled. "Get away from her!" Someone yelled. Sunset Shimmer looked up in confusion. Everyone else also looked. It was Gohan. "G...Gohan?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "What do you have to add to this? She hurt you too!" Someone said. "She has NEVER hurt me. Now leave her alone before I hurt YOU." Gohan said very sternly. The students walked away. Some gave Sunset Shimmer dirty looks, and etc. The halls were finally empty. Sunset Shimmer saw two blue boots in her peripheral vision. Gohan held his hand out. "D-Do you believe me...?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "I'll admit, I'm late to the party. But I can side with my friend any day." Gohan said. Sunset Shimmer took his hand and stood up, collecting her dropped things. "Now, we need to discuss what actually happened." Gohan said. *** The two were back in the library, sitting in the chairs. "I don't know! This girl named Anon-A-Miss stole the pictures I took when we had slumber parties... She posted them on MyStable, and she made us look like complete idiots! She even stole the picture of you sleeping!" Sunset Shimmer said. "W-Why did you take a picture of me...?" Gohan asked. "We laughed at the fact that you were able to sleep on the hard floor. We wanted to remember with the photo. Anyway, now everyone thinks I'm Anon-A-Miss and she manages to humiliate everyone even more!" Sunset Shimmer said. "Now, be 100% honest with me. You are not Anon-A-Mous, correct?" Gohan asked. "I'm not!" Sunset Shimmer said. "Now, stand still." Gohan said, standing up and placing his hand on her head. He read her memories up until the point of the beginning of December. "Yeah. You aren't Anon-A-Miss." Gohan said, sitting down. "Thank goodness ONE person believes me." Sunset Shimmer said, actually smiling. "Well, then let's try to talk to our friends and finally end this mess!" Gohan said. *** Two people entered Sugarcube Corner. Said people received many dirty looks. The five friends were sitting down in their usual lounge spot. "Hey! Get out! You're not welcome here, Sunset!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed, standing up. "Rainbow Dash, I swear, she is not Anon-A-Miss." Gohan said. "We will require some proof!" Rarity said. "I read her mind. She really isn't." Gohan said. "But there's a lot of compelling evidence!" Rarity said. "Yeah! The pictures Anon-A-Miss, or Sunset posted were from Sunset's phone! Somehow she was able to get test scores, personal moments and everything!" Pinkie Pie said. "Are you all really going to denounce your friendship with her over something she never did?" Gohan asked. "You mean over something she ACTUALLY did? She even convinced you with her lies!" Rainbow Dash said. Sunset Shimmer ran out of the place in tears. "Sunset!" Gohan said. "It's for the best. She used us!" Applejack said. "We thought she was family, that secret stealer!" Pinkie Pie said. Gohan frowned at his friends then slowly walked out of Sugarcube Corner. "How did she get HIM of all people on her side?" Fluttershy asked, very uncharacteristically. *** Sunset Shimmer was leaning into a telephone pole, crying. "Sunset Shimmer." Gohan said. "It's useless. They'll never believe us." Sunset Shimmer said. "They will! I promise, I will prove your innocence!" Gohan said. Sunset Shimmer sniffed. "Y-You would....?" She asked. "Yes, come on, we have a ton of research to do." Gohan said, grabbing Sunset Shimmer's hand and using Instant Transmission. *** The two appeared back in the library. "Huh. I guess teleportation is great!" Sunset Shimmer said. "Let's get down to business. If we want to get our friends to believe you, we have to get to the bottom of this. Just who is Anon-A-Miss?" Gohan asked. "Like a said, nobody knows." Sunset Shimmer said. "Hm... Is there any student who hasn't been affected by Anon-A-Miss?" Gohan asked. "I don't know." Sunset Shimmer said. "I know I'm asking for a lot right now, but can you get a list of every student in the school, and take me to this Anon-A-Miss on the internet?" Gohan asked. "No, it's actually easy." Sunset Shimmer said, using the library computer to access the school website. She printed out a list of every student at CHS. It was a good 9 pages long. Then, she changed it MyStable. She set it to Anon-A-Miss's page. "You look at these." She said. "Thanks." Gohan said. "Also, is everyone mad at each other again?" He asked. "Well, yeah. The school is divided as ever... And everyone thinks it's me!" Sunset Shimmer said. "We're gonna convince them otherwise!" Gohan said, clicking on a picture. "Why are you trying to hard to defend me?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "You're my friend. Of course I'd try so hard to defend you!" Gohan said. "...Thanks, Gohan." Sunset Shimmer said, hugging him. "Do whatever you have to do, I'm staying here." Gohan said. "Uh... You sure?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "The library is my home." Gohan said, grabbing a pen from the cup of pens on the table. He began crossing out names. *** The next morning Sunset Shimmer was asleep on top of books. And Gohan was STILL crossing out names. He kept taking urls of pictures he didn't know the people to and used 'Search by Image' to find the name. Oh god, it's 5:34 AM. Sunset Shimmer actually woke up this fucking early. "Good-... A-Are you still awake?" She asked. "Yep!" Gohan said proudly, crossing out two more names. He just went through a pen and grabbed another. "I narrowed it down to about nine people, and I'm not done yet!" Gohan said. "N-Nine!?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "Have you been up all night?" She asked. "Yep! And surprisingly, the Crusaders happen to be in the top nine." Gohan said. "Really? I'd expect them of all people to be affected by Anon-A-Miss by now." Sunset Shimmer said. "You mean they do equally weird stuff here as they do in Equestria?" Gohan asked. "Yeah. Until they said they found their calling." Sunset Shimmer said. "I'm guessing this happened about a week ago." Gohan said. "Yeah..." Sunset Shimmer said. Gohan crossed out more names. "Six." He said. "Do you think they're behind this?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "No, I wouldn't expect them of all people." Gohan said, clicking. Sunset Shimmer took another look at the paper with the names. "I know Flash Sentry isn't behind this, he was affected." She said. "Really? Good. Five." Gohan said, crossing out his name. Gohan crossed out one more name. "Now, I know you're not Anon-A-Miss, but you and the Crusaders happen to stay on the list." Gohan said. "So it's them?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "From every photo and post Anon-A-Miss posted, you and them have not been shamed yet. I really hope it isn't them." Gohan said. "We have our evidence!" Sunset Shimmer said. "Not yet." Gohan said. "Huh? Why not?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "If we presented this as evidence," Gohan said, flashing the paper. "It would only bring the same amount of suspicion on you and them. Nobody is going to believe you, not even our friends. We can't prove your innocence with memories and talking. We need actual proof that the Crusaders did this." Gohan said. "But how?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "Hm... Let's try to find a motive. Applebloom wasn't happy to call us at Pinkie's Hearth's Warming slumber party..." Gohan said. "That's right... She's also the other person who knows about Applejack being nicknamed as 'Piggly Wiggly!'" Sunset Shimmer said. "Anything else?" Gohan asked. "We had a slumber party at Rarity's, and Rarity put Sweetie Belle to bed early... Hm..." Sunset Shimmer said. "Was she angered?" Gohan asked. "She wasn't happy about it, yeah." Sunset Shimmer said. "We have a motive." Gohan said, grabbing a blank paper. He wrote down the motive of every Crusader except Scootaloo. "Hm... Did Rainbow Dash do anything to Scootaloo?" Gohan asked. "I don't think so." Sunset Shimmer said. "We don't have a strong motive for Applebloom, but a strong one for Sweetie Belle and none for Scootaloo." Gohan said. "Is that enough?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "Definitely not. We have motive, but no real evidence to back it up other than the name list. Hm..." Gohan said, scrolling through the photos and posts again. "I'll save you the time. Most of them are our group of friends. Other than that, just a few per person." Sunset Shimmer said. "Really... Then who would you say did this one about Rainbow?" Gohan asked, pulling up a photo of Rainbow Dash's failed science research paper. "The bench... That was definitely taken on the soccer field... It has to be Scootaloo! Rainbow only lets her into her bag." Sunset Shimmer said. "Great! This is evidence, let's print it out!" Gohan said, right clicking and clicking print. "Is that enough?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "Nope! We still need more evidence. This is a good piece, but it's not enough." Gohan said, taking the picture out of the printer. "What got the girls convinced that you were responsible?" He asked. "Well, Anon-A-Miss got her hands on photos from Rarity's slumber party, all of which I took..." Sunset Shimmer said. "That was the same night Sweetie Belle was put to bed early, correct?" Gohan asked. "Yeah... And only she and Rarity's family were the other people there!" Sunset Shimmer said. Gohan printed only a few pictures. "Perfect. We have proof that Scootaloo could've done it, Sweetie Belle most likely did it, and Applebloom... Not much." Gohan said. "Hm... The only thing we can prove about Applebloom is that she knows about Applejack's secret. That was her first attack." Sunset Shimmer said. "Then..." Gohan said before yawning. "Excuse me." He said, writing it down. "Do you need to sleep? We can continue this tomorrow." Sunset Shimmer said, yawning herself. "Nope! Senzu beans come in handy." Gohan said, reaching into his pouch and grabbing two senzu beans. He handed one to Sunset Shimmer. "Do I have to eat it?" She asked. Gohan ate his, and he was full energy again. "You're still tired, I know. You barely slept last night." He said. Sunset Shimmer shrugged and ate the bean. "This is awesome." She said. "Alright, assessment of the case. Sunset Shimmer - Thought to be Anon-A-Miss. Evidence - Anon-A-Miss has posted photos belonging to Sunset Shimmer. Also, her past actions can add to this. Defense - Thought Applebloom, Sweetie Belle or Scootaloo is Anon-A-Miss. Evidence - Also capable of posting photos and secrets belonging to various people, especially Rainbow Dash, Rarity and Applejack." Gohan said. "...Wow." Sunset Shimmer said. "What?" Gohan asked. "Well... You keep defending me, and this has to be the most you've ever done." Sunset Shimmer said. "We don't need to be all thankful, I don't need it. I just want you guys to be together again." Gohan said. Sunset Shimmer smiled. "You're a good boy." She said. Gohan blushed slightly. "Uh... Thanks. Anyway, we have proof that one of the them could've done it. And Sweetie Belle has the most evidence against her." He said. "Can we gather any more evidence?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "No." Gohan said, shutting off the computer. "Then let's go!" Sunset Shimmer said. "It's still 5:58 AM! I know that people don't come until about 6:30 or 7:00." Gohan said. "Oh. Then... What are we supposed to do until then?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "I don't know." Gohan said. *** 7:00 AM Cafeteria The Mane 5 were sitting down at a table, eating the school breakfast. They were all mad and sad. Rainbow Dash slammed her tray down on the table. She was that mad. "Even Gohan is with her. I bet they're posting new photos now!" Rainbow Dash said. "I-I don't think Gohan would ever do that!... Maybe we were wrong about Sunset Shimmer..." Fluttershy said. "No we weren't. You saw what she did!" Applejack said. "But if someone like Gohan's trying to defend her so much... T-Then I don't know who's side to be on." Fluttershy said. "You broke down into tears because of her!" Pinkie Pie said. This kept going on, The human Crusaders overheard this. "Uh, girls? I think we went too far with this Anon-A-Miss thing." Applebloom said. "The whole school's fighting again." Scootaloo said. "I feel awful. Maybe we should tell." Sweetie Belle said. "Are you crazy? We'll be in so much trouble!" Scootaloo said. "But we might get caught anyway. That kid's helping Sunset. I wish I never got jealous..." Applebloom said. "Me neither." Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle said. Gohan and Sunset Shimmer were in the cafeteria, approaching the five. "What do you want." Rainbow Dash said. "I want to prove Sunset's innocence." Gohan said. "What, by telling us you read her mind? How do we know you're not lying?" Rarity asked. "I won't be using that as my defense, Rarity. In fact, I think this may come as a shocker to you." Gohan said. "H-How?" Rarity asked. "I looked at every single photo and post that Anon-A-Miss posted. From them, I eliminated every single person who was humiliated. The last few people remaining were Sunset Shimmer, Applebloom, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo." Gohan said. "A-Are you accusing my sister!?" Applejack yelled. "Hold on. I'm not done. I suspect that one of the three are Anon-A-Miss." Gohan said. "Girls... Should we tell the truth?" Applebloom asked. "I... I don't know." Scootaloo said. "Applejack, you said your family were the only ones who knew about the pig story, correct?" Gohan asked. "Yeah? And I also told Sunset, and you guys." Applejack said. "Does Applebloom seem a little distant to you?" Gohan asked. "I guess she gets a little more angry than usual... That doesn't prove anything!" Applejack said. "She's one of the few people that knew, Applejack. Now, Rarity, you had a slumber party the day I left, right?" Gohan asked. "Yes." Rarity said. "Did you put Sweetie Belle to bed early, against her wishes?" Gohan asked. "I-I had..." Rarity said. "And who else was there to post these pictures Sunset Shimmer had that night?" Gohan asked, showing the few photos he printed. "M-My family... That's a very well constructed story, but it's still false!" Rarity said. "How? Sweetie Belle had a good motive to be Anon-A-Miss." Gohan said. "W-Well... I guess we cannot rule her out..." Rarity said. "And Rainbow Dash, look at this photo." Gohan said, showing the photo of her failed research paper. "What about it?" She asked. "Where is the location this photo was taken?" Gohan asked. "Well... I can see my bag was opened... The bench and- Scootaloo! She's the only one I let into my bag that day!" Rainbow Dash said. "Was the Junior Soccer Team there that day?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "Yeah... They were!" Rainbow Dash said. "We have three more suspects. Do you still think Sunset Shimmer's the one responsible?" Gohan asked. "Well..." Pinkie Pie said. "Do you really think Sunset Shimmer would do this sort of thing?" Gohan asked. "I think of you as family, girls. I really do. You know me better than anyone. Do you really think the Sunset you know, the REAL Sunset, the one I am now, would do this? Gohan would punch my head off!" Sunset Shimmer said. "T-Then if you're not Anon-A-Miss... Then who is?" Fluttershy asked "Stop." Applebloom said. Everyone looked to the Crusaders. "He's right. It's us." Scootaloo said. Everyone gasped. "Applebloom! How could you!?" Applejack said. "We didn't mean for it to go this far! Honest!" Applebloom said. "But why did you do it...?" Gohan asked. "Because... Because of you and her!" Applebloom said. "Huh?" Gohan and Sunset Shimmer asked. "I was jealous my sister was spending time with her friends instead of her family. I wanted to make you look bad. So I made up Anon-A-Miss and posted the story about Applejack and made it seem like you'd done it." Applebloom said. "Applebloom told me about it... And I felt the same way. So, at Rarity's, while you were asleep, I snuck in, took her phone and downloaded the photos." Sweetie Belle said. Applebloom and Sweetie Belle began to cry. "Anon-A-Miss got way out of hand. People started sending her other secrets, new pictures, and we posted everything." Scootaloo said. "We're so sorry! We had no idea this could happen to you!" Sweetie Belle exclaimed, tackle hugging Sunset Shimmer. "I-It's okay girls! I forgive you! Believe me, I know what it's like to me alone." Sunset Shimmer said, breaking the hug. "You and me both." Gohan said. "Please forgive us big sister! We're really sorry!" Applebloom said with tears in her eyes. Applejack sighed. "You girls... Course I'd forgive you, you're family." She said, hugging her sister. Gohan was very touched. This just reminded him of the Cell Games so much. He couldn't help but actually cry with joy. "Why are you cryin'?" Applebloom asked. "Yeah... I'm actually surprised." Rainbow Dash said. "I-I'm just so happy... You were forgiven..." Gohan sobbed, smiling and wiping his tears. "W- Oh. I see." Applejack said. "What?" Applebloom asked. "I guess you had to be there for it." Applejack said. Sunset Shimmer put a hand on the sobbing Gohan. "Thanks." She said. Gohan gave her a thumbs up. Then went back to crying like a baby. "Oh Gohan, please calm down..." Fluttershy said. "But I'm just so happy!" Gohan sobbed. And Gohan began to glow yellow, indicating his job was done. *** Son Gohan: Ace Attorney. That should be the name of that. When the tryouts for the Friendship Games started, Gohan was instantly accepted. You know, because he can shoot blasts out of his palms and feet and ass? The last one was possibly a joke. He replaced nobody. And now he was participating. But not before this. *** Despite it being almost two years in Equestria, it had been seven on Earth. The inhabitants of Earth were dying. Someone was killing everyone. Earth's greatest warriors, Vegeta, Piccolo, Child Trunks and Goten stood no chance against this threat. Nobody knew what it was! Only about 40 people remained on the planet. Author's Note Who could it be? I may never tell you...
Meeting New Family! Gohan has a Brother!?Those nightmares Gohan had were actually visions. Earth was in ruins. Billions of people died in a year. It was odd. Nobody could sense his power level. Piccolo was the first to try and combat this threat. He died with his head remaining. The dragon balls were used again to try and get rid of the creature. Didn't work, it was too strong. Vegeta was next to battle this creature. He died, being obliterated. Krillin, Tien, Yamcha, Chiaotzu even fell this this random creature. Goten and Trunks tried... In vain. They managed to escape it's wrath. But Trunks was eventually caught and killed. Goten was the last capable fighter left on the planet. He and Bulma were taking shelter in a cave. He wore his father's gi with sleeves. It was very torn. He also wore kung fu shoes. Bulma donned a spacesuit from when she went to Namek. After his mother died, Goten searched for the dragon balls. Although his mother explained to him that his brother was a heartless monster, Goku and Bulma explained about the amazing Gohan. It had been a year since they used the dragon balls, so they were trying again. "A-Are we going to find all the dragon balls...?" Goten asked. "Don't worry, Goten. We already have five of them. It won't be long until we can flee to your brother." Bulma said. "Mom said he was evil... But dad said he was the best person alive..." Goten said. "That's because he had a heart of gold, Goten. He was just misunderstood by a lot of people..." Bulma said. "Are you sure he will protect us?" Goten asked. "Goku said so." Bulma said. Goten was feeling scared about meeting his own brother. It was quickly overshadowed by the fact that they could die any minute. "Okay, we've rested up enough. Let's go." Bulma said. *** The creature was on the Lookout. Dende cowered in fear. He had tears in his eyes. "Do you think I'm going to kill you now?" It asked. Dende nodded. "Pah! Don't make me laugh." It said. "Y-You'll spare me...?" Dende asked. The creature laughed. "Only for now." It said. "They may escape, but I will find them." It said, flying away. *** Equestria was fine and dandy! It was morning. Gohan was beginning his day with training. Not before talking to Pinkie Pie. Who happened to be waiting outside his door all night. "Okay, why were you outside my door all night...?" Gohan asked. "BecauseIwannaknowwhoyouretakingtotheGrandGallopingGalathistime!" Pinkie Pie said very quickly. "Uh... Yeah, I don't know a single word you said." Gohan said. "My Pinkie Sense is tingling... Your family is dying!" Pinkie Pie said so happily. Gohan had a confused face. "Are you joking...?" He asked. "I can feel it! Oh well, I don't think it's anything important." Pinkie Pie said. "I-It is! Please tell me you're joking!" Gohan said. "Mmmmaybe." Pinkie Pie said. Gohan sighed. "Good. Now, have a good day." He said. "Okey dokey lokey!" Pinkie Pie said, hopping away. Gohan, wanting to make sure, tried sensing for an extremely strong presence in the universe. He couldn't. 'She must be crazy.' He thought. *** Goten jumped up to the mountain to retrieve the final four star ball. They grouped the dragon balls together. "We're finally going to escape this..." Bulma said. "Now, rise e-" "Greetings." The creature interrupted. The two looked back in horror. "Did you two forget to invite me?" It asked. Goten quickly turned Super Saiyan and lunged at the creature. "HA!" He yelled as he slammed his fist into it's face. The creature didn't flinch and smacked him away. Bulma acted quickly. "Rise! She-" She yelled before a dark blade went through her neck. Blood was dripping out of the throat and mouth of Bulma. Goten looked in horror. The creature laughed as he took the blade away. Bulma's lifeless body collapsed to the ground. Goten had tears in his eyes. First Chi Chi, Trunks, and now Bulma!? The creature laughed again. "I'll... Get you you stupid beast!" Goten yelled, powering up immensely. "Do you really believe such a transformation can stand up to a deity?" It asked. Goten was brimming with rage. He wasn't a Super Saiyan 2, however. You could call it half of that. He instantly charged at the creature, actually managing to damage it. Or so he thought. Eventually Goten smashed his fist into it's stomach. The creature coughed yet laughed. It slid across the ground for a moment. Goten tried again, only to be smacked into the sky, then back at the ground. "Know your place!" It yelled, firing a yellow/black blast at Goten. Goten reacted by firing a Kamehameha. The two blasts clashed. It remained to be equal. Goten was pouring every single ounce of his strength into the attack. The creature barely even tried. In fact, it only fired a weak beam. It only put a little more strength into the blast. Goten was quickly overpowered by the blast. He struggled to keep it from hitting him with his bare hands. He started to scream in pain. The creature laughed. "Perhaps you have learned your place by now! I will enjoy in you in the afterlife." 'Shenron! Please! Take me to my brother, away from this horrible monster!' Goten thought. The dragon balls began to glow yellow. Goten couldn't hold it off any longer. 'Mom... I'm sorry.' He thought. He fainted at that very moment. But, at the exact same time, he vanished. The blast went into the sky. The creature laughed. "Run as you wish. It'll only be soon until I find you again..." It said. *** A white flash appeared in Ponyville. Also, an unconscious body. Many ponies surrounded it. "Who is that?" A pony asked. "Is that Gohan's child?" A pony asked. "Brother?" A pony asked. Rainbow Dash flew as fast as she could to Gohan. *** Gohan was training in the gravity chamber until he felt a random ki in Ponyville. He opened his door to be greeted by Rainbow Dash. "Is someone attacking the village?" Gohan asked. "No. I think this is just as surprising to us as it will be to you..." Rainbow Dash said. Gohan put his hand on Rainbow Dash's face and teleported to Ponyville. "Gohan! Who is this?" Rarity asked. "It looks like a mini Goku..." Fluttershy said. Gohan got a closer look at... "I-Is he a relative of mine...?" Gohan asked. "You mean you don't know either?" Twilight asked. The boy groaned. "He's awake!" Fluttershy said. Then he cried in pain. Gohan pulled out a senzu bean, and got closer to the kid. He sat down and put the crying boy's head on his lap. "Here. Eat up." Gohan said. The boy opened his mouth. Gohan dropped the senzu bean in his mouth. His wounds miraculously healed! He slowly opened his eyes. "W-Where am I..." He asked. "You're safe now." Gohan said. Now he had a better view of Gohan. "A-Are you Gohan....?" He asked. Some ponies gasped. "Um... Yes I am." Gohan said. "Brother!?" He yelled, lunging up and grabbing his shirt. "B-Brother!?" Gohan and everyone else exclaimed. "Gohan... THAT'S your brother!?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Yes! I'm Son Goten!" Goten yelled. "Uh... I'm sorry, but I actually don't know you." Gohan said. "I-Isn't your mom's name Chi Chi!?" Goten asked. "I-It is." Gohan said. "She's my mom too!" Goten said. "Gohan's brother is here!?" Rarity asked, before sighing dramatically and collapsing. "S-So you're... But how are you..." Gohan asked. "Please protect me from the monster!" Goten said, pulling Gohan into an embrace and starting to cry. "M-Monster!? What happened?" Gohan asked. "H-He killed mom, Bulma, Trunks!" Goten cried. 'Those... Were visions.' Gohan thought. "Don't worry, you're safe now. I'm here to protect you, Goten." Gohan said, hugging Goten back. 'Though I really don't know what this monster is.' He thought. "Aw..." The ponies said. Twilight went up to Gohan. "What's going on?" She whispered. "I don't know." Gohan whispered. Goten was still crying into Gohan's chest. Gohan stood up, hugging his little brother. Goten was three quarters the size of Gohan. "Shh... Calm down, Goten. It's okay. I'm here. Shh..." Gohan cooed. "I believe you all can return to your business now." Twilight said. The ponies started to walk away. The rest of the Mane 6 came up to Gohan. Goten finally stopped crying. "Can we see him?" Applejack asked. "Do you want to see my friends, Goten?" Gohan asked. Goten looked up. "S-Sure." He said. Gohan broke the hug and Goten looked around. "He's adorable!" Fluttershy said. "He looks just like his father." Rarity said. "Everyone says that." Goten said, looking down at the ground. "Are y'all okay?" Applejack asked. "No..." Goten said. "Goten, I wish I could stop the monster for you but I don't know where he could be." Gohan said. "B-But..." Goten said. "Remember, darling. You're safe now!" Rarity said. "Is everyone here a pony...?" Goten asked. "Yeah. There's also gryphons." Rainbow Dash said. "He's just super duper mega ultra cute Gohan!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed. Goten blushed in embarrassment. Gohan put his hand on Goten's shoulder. "How old are you?" He asked. "I'm six." Goten said. "Then... Huh?" Gohan asked. "I was told you defeated Cell like, seven or eight years ago." Goten said. "It's only been over a year..." Gohan said. "I need to get a welcome party started!" Pinkie Pie said, zipping away. "Well, Goten? What would you like to do?" Gohan asked. "Um... I'm hungry..." Goten said. "Well, shoot! Let's get down to Sweet Apple Acres!" Applejack said. "There's a lot of food there!" Gohan said. *** Goten was given a small meal, just enough plates to cover a table. Gohan also joined in the feast... "This really reminds me of when his father came." Fluttershy said. Goten finished, surprisingly. He only got through half the table. "Thank you very much..." Goten said. "It's not a problem!" Applejack said. "Every one of my friends are amazing, Goten. In fact, I think they're your friends too." Gohan said, finishing up Goten's remaining food. "Yeah, I know, we're awesome." Rainbow Dash said. Goten still seemed sad. "Goten." Gohan said. "Y-Yes?" Goten asked. Gohan wrapped his arm around Goten. "Don't be sad. Mom will come back some day. Trunks, Bulma, even Vegeta will." He said. "D-Do you promise?" Goten asked. Gohan thought for moment. 'I guess it's an attempt to get back to Earth...' He thought. "Promise." Gohan said. This confused his friends, but they didn't say anything. Goten actually cheered up, and he hugged Gohan back. "Aw!" Everyone said. *** Gohan and Goten did some bonding that day. Goten got some fixed clothing from Rarity. It wasn't weighted, but it was the same overall. Then, Goten actually trained with Gohan. They were in a wasteland. "Well, Goten, do you know what a Super Saiyan is?" Gohan asked. "Yep! Dad was one!" Goten said. "Yes! He was the first Super Saiyan. And I'm also a Super Saiyan!" Gohan said. "Show me!" Goten said. Gohan turned Super Saiyan. "S-Since mom isn't here, can I be like you?" Goten asked. "Uh... What do you mean?" Gohan asked. "You know, the gold hair and the super strength. I want to be a Super Saiyan too!" Goten said. Gohan chuckled. "You're going to have to wait until you're a bit older. It takes years of training to become a Super Saiyan! It took me until I was 11 years old before dad taught me how to transform. Of course, I am the youngest Super Saiyan ever, you might need more time." He said. Gohan looked and was shocked immediately. Goten began powering up, and actually turned into a Super Saiyan! Gohan couldn't believe it! "G-Goten! You're a... You're a Super Saiyan!" Gohan said, pointing a finger at Goten. "Oh my gosh, this is unbelievable!" He added. Gohan stared in awe. Goten's aura stopped flaring. "Incredible! Whoa, man! When in the world did this happen!? Since when!?" Gohan asked. "Hm... I don't remember!" Goten said. "You... Huh? Anyway, this is crazy! You're such a natural Goten, my goodness! Dad and I had to struggle really hard to become a Super Saiyan! And Vegeta, what a case he was! So, how'd you like to be my sparring partner? Is that okay?" Gohan asked. Goten smiled brightly. "Yeah!" He said. "Do you know about sparring form?" Gohan asked. "Mom taught me about it. I loved that one!" Goten said. "Mom trained you?" Gohan asked. Goten nodded. "Everyday!" He said. Gohan cocked his head in confusion. 'Mom sure has changed.' He thought. "Hey, sport. Does mom know about you being a Super Saiyan?" Gohan asked. Goten nodded. "Wait, I remember how I became a Super Saiyan now!" He said. "Really? How?" Gohan asked. "Well, she was training me. And for some reason I wouldn't counter. I was too much of a wuss. Eventually she was able to kick me, and I don't know how, but I turned into a Super Saiyan and kicked her back! I ran to her, but she started to cry, saying I was a delinquent and a monster. I guess it's a bad thing." Goten said. Gohan chuckled. "Don't worry about it! It's not. In the right hands, evil can be stopped with it!" He said. "Really!? Then being a Super Saiyan is awesome!" Goten said. 'Boy, he was quick to forget about whatever monster killed mom.' Gohan thought. "Alright Goten, show me what you got!" Gohan said. Goten let out a war cry as he jumped up and tried to kick Gohan. Goten kept on with his assault, attacking Gohan from every corner. Gohan heavily suppressed himself. Just to make Goten feel strong. He dodged, blocked, and let Goten land a few hits. Eventually it escalated to nearby plateaus, and Gohan was backed into those. Destroying them. He jumped on top of one, then it collapsed because of the collision of a fist and an arm. Gohan began to fly up. "Hey! Flying's cheating! You're no fun, stop cheating and come back down here!" Goten yelled. "What? How is it cheating to fly?" Gohan asked. "Because I can't fly so how am I supposed to keep fighting?" Goten asked. "Huh? Please tell me that you're kidding!" Gohan said. "You randomly figured out how to go Super Saiyan, but you can't fly? Not even a little?" Gohan asked. "Stop making fun!" Goten said. "Sorry!" Gohan said, going back to ground level with Goten. 'Kids these days. Doing it all backwards.' He thought. "Teach me how to fly!" Goten said. "...Actually, I have a better idea." Gohan said. "What is it?" Goten asked. "I have students who will learn how to fly soon. Why don't you join them?" Gohan asked. "And we can take a break, you seem to be a little tired." Gohan said. "You'll teach me then?" Goten asked. "Yeah! I'll teach you how to zip through the sky with me in a flash!" Gohan said. "Yay! Yay! Thank you Gohan!" Goten exclaimed as he ran around and did fucking backflips in joy. "I'm gonna learn how to fly~! I'm gonna learn how to fly~!" Goten sang. Gohan chuckled. 'I wish I were that way when I first came here. He really cheered up fast.' He thought. 'Oh. Crapbaskets, he needs a mattress. Oh, I'll have to upgrade the house.' Gohan thought. "Hey, what are you thinking about?" Goten asked. "I'm thinking about how you'll be living here." Gohan said. "Why?" Goten asked. "You'll need a new mattress and we'll probably need a bigger home." Gohan said. "Is yours too small?" Goten asked. "Oh definitely. It barely fits a small bed." Gohan said. Gohan turned back into base form. "Maybe we should head into town for something like that." Gohan said. "Okay!" Goten said, reverting back to his base form. *** Now they were back at the tiny shack. "Wow. It's small." Goten said. "Tonight, you'll be on the bed." Gohan said, opening the door. There was a sink, dishes, a giant pot, a rice cooker, bags and bags of rice, a bed and a closet. That's it. "Wow. It's even smaller on the inside." Goten said. "Yeah, I'll be on the floor tonight." Gohan said. Then a knock came on the door. "Letter for Gohan!" Derpy Hooves said, grabbing the letter with her mouth. "Right here." Gohan said, taking the letter. Derpy waved at Goten before flying away. "Who was that?" Goten asked. "Her name is Derpy. She's a mailpony, or a mailman." Gohan said. "Okay." Goten said. Gohan opened the letter. "Hey! Two tickets to the Grand Galloping Gala!" He said. "What's the Grand Galloping Gala?" Goten asked. "A big party for important people." Gohan said. "Are you important?" Goten asked. "Yeah, but not as important as you, sport." Gohan said. "You want to come?" He asked. "Sure!" Goten said. "You'll get to meet Princess Celestia and Princess Luna." Gohan said. "You know princesses?" Goten asked. "Four, actually." Gohan said. "Ooh. That's cool." Goten said. "It's in a few days and- Oh, that's right, we need to go." Gohan said. "Why?" Goten asked. "You'll see." Gohan said, grabbing Goten and walking out of the shack. *** Gohan took Goten to Sugarcube Corner. "Why are we in a gingerbread house?" Goten asked. Gohan chuckled as he opened the door, getting exactly what he expected. "SURPRISE!" Everyone yelled. "It's a welcome party!" Gohan exclaimed. "A welcome party?" Goten asked. "Yeah, silly! We have games, cake, drinks, more cake, and most of all, FUN!" Pinkie Pie cheered, jumping up and making confetti fly. Goten smiled brightly. The rest of the night was spent having fun like there was no tomorrow. *** On Earth. The pink creature killed the last human on Earth. "Now... Time for the next planet." It said. "Those mortals better prepare themselves. Especially the boy." It said before laughing. Author's Note I wanted to add Goten in the story for a while now. Without making it seem like a stupid reason. This one was a stupid reason but, I tried. Making time go by slower in Equestria and giving Goten a reason to escape to Gohan seemed good to me. Also, Goten would really help out the Mane 6 with some upcoming troubles... Some friendship CAN'T solve. Goten has a power level of 98,000,000, and Super Saiyan is 4,900,000,000. The creature? It's a he and it's... It's not THAT bad. Yeah, his base form is 9,700,000,000,000 isn't so bad... And yes, I said base. Lastly, he's coming back.
The Grand Galloping Gala... AgainEver since Goten came, Gohan has probably got a little too protective. Not in the: 'You shouldn't talk to my brother.' Way but the staying up almost all night every night watching over him way. Mainly because... The creature. 'Is it beyond my power? Is it ever coming to Equestria?' Gohan thought. He always thought that until he fell asleep on the floor and woke up very early. He couldn't afford an upgrade to the house yet, but he was close. It was time for the Grand Galloping Gala. 'His first, huh.' Gohan thought. So, Goten needed new clothes and some kind of formal wear. Once Goten woke up, Gohan made him a nice rice and vegetable breakfast and then took him to Rarity's boutique. *** "Oh, your first Grand Galloping Gala!" Rarity exclaimed. "The excitement, the anticipation! I wouldn't miss this for all the jewels in Equestria!" She said, putting a bow on Sweetie Belle's dress. She had just spent her time making dresses for the Crusaders. All that was left was her friends, including Goten. Rainbow Dash and Applejack were playing Harmony. "We're going to the Gala~! We're going to the Gala~!" Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle exclaimed while hopping. Gohan and Goten just opened the doors! Gohan was carrying his own formal wear. He planned to wear it on top of his gi again. "Oh! Gohan and Goten! Come in!" Rarity said. "Goten?" Scootaloo asked. "Hey everyone." Gohan said. The two fillies looked at Goten. "Uh... Did one of Gohan's relatives visit?" Sweetie Belle asked. "You could say that, darling." Rarity said. "He's my brother!" Gohan said. "Why don't you talk to the other kids?" He asked. Goten was a little scared to but walked over to the dressed fillies anyway. "Um... Hi." Goten said. "Hello." Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle said. "I'm Goten..." Goten said awkwardly. "I'm Scootaloo." Scootaloo said. "I'm Sweetie Belle." Sweetie Belle said. "Um... How are you today?" Goten asked. "Good, good. We're going to the Gala!" Scootaloo said. "I heard it was a party for very important people." Goten said. "And you are correct, Goten! Now, would you like a tuxedo or something similar to Gohan's formal wear?" Rarity asked. "OOH! I know! Can I draw it?" Goten asked. "Well, sure, darling!" Rarity said, using her magic to grab a pencil and paper. She also grabbed crayons because why not? She laid it down on the table. Gohan looked and smiled. 'I guess being a big brother does have it's moments.' He thought. "We're going to the Gala~! We're going to the Gala~!" Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo began singing again. "Alright y'all. Keep it down. It ain't like it's a life changing experience or nothi...." Applejack said, watching Applebloom emerge from the changing booth. Then she had some change in her talk. "My little sister's all grown up!" Applejack said with tears. She blew her nose into Rainbow Dash's tail, hilariously. "Hey!" Rainbow Dash yelled, pulling her tail away. "Uh... Did one of Gohan's relatives come by?" Applebloom asked the Crusaders. "That's Gohan's brother." Scootaloo said. "Him? A brother? Now that is interesting." Applebloom said. Goten finished drawing his photo. He handed it to Rarity. "My assumption was correct! Being an artist runs in the family!" Rarity said, marveling at Goten's superb work. "Thank you." Goten said. "I shall fashion this immediately!" Rarity said, taking all kinds of measurements for Goten. "W-What's happening?" Goten asked. "She's taking some more measurements so she can make you some clothes." Gohan said. "Okay." Goten said. Rarity finished and began grabbing all sorts of fabric and threads and needles. "I'm going in the changing booth." Gohan said, doing just that. The Crusaders went to Goten. "Has Gohan taught you how to fly?" Scootaloo asked. Goten shook his head. "He will, though." He said. "How strong are you against Gohan?" Applebloom asked. "I don't know..." Goten said. "Are they just trying to make small talk to him? Or..." Applejack whispered to Rainbow Dash. "Beats me. I'm still surprised Gohan's brother of all ponies came." Rainbow Dash whispered. Gohan stepped out of the booth. "Same look as always, huh Gohan?" Applejack asked. "Yep!" Gohan said, sporting his Super Saiyan look with his formal wear. https://t00.deviantart.net/Cd3AqpNkMVGG09Wav8m2_7okeiw=/fit-in/700x350/filters:fixed_height(100,100):origin()/pre00/da5b/th/pre/f/2016/366/e/1/gohan_by_tch023-datos61.png "Wow! Gohan, you look just like you in that photo of you and dad eating pasta!" Goten said. "Is he joking?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Nope!" Gohan said. "I am finished!" Rarity said. "Wow. That was quick." Rainbow Dash said. Rarity put Goten's formal wear in his arms. "Now go into that booth and change into these!" Rarity said a little too excitedly. Goten went into the booth. "I wonder what he drew." Gohan said. "You'll see." Rarity said. "Maybe you'll have the same reaction as Applejack over here. And I'm not letting you use my tail!" Rainbow Dash said. Gohan chuckled. The Crusaders awaited Goten's new attire. Goten emerged from the booth with his gi neatly folded in his hands. https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/e1/2e/e3/e12ee374d0e1c4f95e6cad176e376957.png Gohan was very happy. "You look amazing!" He said. "Golly! He looks good!" Applebloom said. "Yeah, it looks historical and stuff." Scootaloo said. "Yeah, he's cool." Rainbow Dash said. Goten walked over to the Crusaders and climbed on top of the rising floor where they were. The trio began to sing "We're going to the Gala~!" Again. Goten kind of joined in with a small volume. Discord was creeping around. He turned his eye into a mirror. "This is gonna be the best night ever!" The trio yelled. The four were creeped out and screamed. They also ran towards their sisters/brother/sisterly pony. Discord shortened his eye to normal size again. "Discord!" Gohan yelled. Goten was clinging on to Gohan. "I don't suppose these adorable little- Huh?" Discord asked, looking at Gohan and Goten. "Did one of your relatives visit, Gohan?" Discord asked. "My brother is here, yes. And you scared him!" Gohan said. "My apologies. I don't suppose these little adorable cutie pies have their own tickets to the Gross Gruesome Gala, do they?" Discord asked, patting Applebloom's head. Applebloom smacked his hand away and stuck her tongue at him. "Ahem. To answer your rather rude question, they're going as our dates! Our plus ones!" Rarity said, wrapping a hoof around Sweetie Belle. "We're plus ones~! We're plus ones~!" The trio began to sing yet again. Discord stuck his antler and horn into his ears. "Yes, yes, yes! I believe I got that!" He said, teleporting away in jealousy. "Gohan? Who was that?" Goten asked. "Discord, god of chaos, now reformed." Gohan said. "He scares me." Goten said, clinging onto Gohan tighter. "Don't worry, he's actually nice." Gohan said. *** It was the Grand Galloping Gal! And it was boring as ever, Jesus. So I'm going to entertain you with a story a priest told me. And Jesus said: "You fool!" And he fired the Kamehameha, and destroyed Lucifer! Okay back to the story. So the Gala was filled with sophisticated ponies. Twilight and Celestia were atop a staircase chatting away. "I must say, it's been very nice having you take over some of the planning responsibilities for this year's Gala." Celestia said. "Anything I can do to make things easier on you." Twilight said. "Thank you, Twilight. I am quite looking forward to just enjoying the Gala for once." Celestia said. Gohan and Goten approached the two. "Princess Celestia!" Gohan exclaimed. "Gohan! Who is this?" Celestia asked, bowing her head so that her head was on the same level as Goten. "This is my brother Goten!" Gohan said. "H-Hello ma'am." Goten said, cowering again. "Don't be afraid, little one. I am absolutely honored that you are here tonight." Celestia said. "Thank you." Goten said. "How old are you?" Celestia asked. "I'm six." Goten said. "Great! I hope you enjoy the rest of the Grand Galloping Gala." Celestia said. "Thank you, princess." Goten said. Then a horn was played. "Announcing the spirit of chaos: Discord! And his guest, uh..." The stallion yelled. Discord whispered something into his ear. "The Smooze!" He yelled. The Smooze was this weird slime creature that smiled. It had a red bow tie and a blue top hat. Ponies and people were absolutely repulsed by it. Discord sported an orange tux with a red bow tie and an orange hat. "Good evening, everypony! What a glorious affair!" Discord exclaimed. The Smooze ate a trumpet. "He does like shiny things, the little rascal." Discord said. "Gohan, I'm scared." Goten said, clinging on to Gohan. "To be fair, this is equally as scary for me as it is for you, Goten." Gohan said. "Uh... I will handle this." Twilight said, flying to Discord. She also dragged him to a secluded location. "What are you doing here with- That!?" Twilight whispered. "Now, now, now. The Smooze may be it, but it's it with a heart of, well, blob." Discord said. The Smooze slowly moved across the floor, grossing out everyone with not only it's presence but it's residue. "This night is extremely important to me Discord!" Twilight said, referring to Celestia. "Especially Gohan! His brother is here! So keep it under control." She added. "Yes, yes, yes, of course. Tell me, have you seen Fluttershy anywhere?" Discord asked, walking away. "Gohan." Celestia said. "Yes, princess?" Gohan asked. "How did Goten get here?" Celestia whispered. "The same way I did, with a magical wish granting dragon." Gohan whispered. Celestia nodded. "Is your current abode large enough to sustain you two?" She asked. "Not really, but we managed to make it work out." Gohan said. "I will provide a larger property for you." Celestia said. "Really?" Gohan asked. "It's one of the least things I can do to repay you." Celestia said. "Wow... Thank you, princess." Gohan said. Celestia nodded. "We're at the Gala~!" The Crusaders sang and they entered with Applejack, Rainbow Dash and Rarity. Discord fed the Smooze with a diamond, making it a little bigger. He saw Fluttershy talking to Treehugger at a table. So he barged in on their conversation. He tried 'accidentally' bumping into Fluttershy. "Oh Fluttershy! I didn't see you there." Discord said. Fluttershy was still talking to Treehugger. "How did you even know to look for an ore on a waterfall?" Fluttershy asked. "Ahem." Discord said. He said it louder. Then he said it so fucking dramatically that it finally got the damn attention of Fluttershy who gets scared by a damn leaf touching her back but wasn't scared by Discord 'bumping' into her. Sorry. "Discord! I thought you weren't coming!" Fluttershy said. "No. I actually never said that." Discord said. And then Discord, Fluttershy and Treehugger decided to have a nice conversation. "But funny how you remembered it that way- Anyway, good to see you, Tree... Friend, is it? Your name is slipping my mind right now, how strange." Discord said. "Nice to meet you. I'm Treehugger." Treehugger said, lifting one hoof up. "You have MET me before, actually!" Discord said, snorting. "Cool! Like, in another life, maybe?" Treehugger asked. You can definitely tell she's on weed. "You've got to be kidding! You don't remember ME?" Discord asked, then taking his hat off to show his antler and horn. Treehugger chuckled slightly. "I meet a lot of different creatures... I'm very interested... In those two over there... Never seen that before..." She said, slowly pointing a hoof at Gohan and Goten. "Oh, that's Gohan and his little brother Goten. They're very nice." Fluttershy said. "Yes, yes, yes, anyway, as I was saying, it's just great" Discord said, wrapping an arm around Fluttershy. "to be with my OLDEST, BESTEST friend." He said. "Am I really your oldest, bestest friend?" Fluttershy asked, gleeful. "You?" Discord asked before laughing. "Of course not! You think I don't have other friends? I'm centuries old! I was talking about the Smooze!" He said, showing Fluttershy to the blob. "Smoozeface, the Smoozinator! Well, I mean, that's what we called him back in college." Discord said. He made the Smooze appear on top of the table. "Smooze! This is Fluttershy and... Hm... What was it, Tree... Embrace?" Discord asked, trying to aggravate Treehugger. It failed. "Oh, I like that! It's so in rhythm with my life force... Maybe I'll change it!" Treehugger said. Fluttershy giggled. "I can't believe I've never heard of you talk about the Smooze before!" She said, poking it as it slid off the table. "It sounds like you two are so close!" She said. "Well, I'm glad you got that." Discord said, crossing his arms. "Because that's what is true! We are!" He said, teleporting to the Smooze and hugging it. "Very close." He said. "That's wonderful! The four of us should go out to dinner sometime!" Fluttershy said. Discord accidentally hugged it so hard that it got squeezed in half. It quickly formed together again. "We should all go to dinner sometime!? Have you no heart!?" Discord asked. Then a scream could be heard. The Smooze was inching closer to two elderly ponies. "Oh! Well it looks like some ponies want to mingle, we'll be back!" Discord said, floating away. "Oh, okay! Treesie and I would like to talk to you more later!" Fluttershy said. Then Discord returned. "Treesie? Really? Sort of a juvenile name, don't you think?" He asked. Then glass shattered and a scream was heard again. "Smoozie! Wait up!" Discord said, being the hypocrite he is. Gohan and Goten were staying with Celestia until Goten decided that he wanted to go somewhere. "This isn't very fun." Goten said. "I know, the last time I was here I just flew around the entire time." Gohan said. "Can we do that?" Goten whined. "Sure. Why not?" Gohan asked. The two started to walk toward the entrance, where Goten jumped on top of Gohan's back. Gohan was giving him a piggyback ride. Now they flew around Canterlot, giving Goten a sense of adventure. "Whee!" Goten yelled, laughing as well. Gohan still couldn't help but feel bad and scared about the monster who destroyed all of Earth's fighters. He couldn't sense anything unusually large. During that, Discord stuck the Smooze outside the Gala where Rarity was. She screamed because the blob took her gems from her dress and she was covered in sticky residue. She burst through the doors. "That creature took my jewels!" Rarity yelled. The Smooze was also doing that to another pony. "Discord! I thought I told you to keep your friend under control!" Twilight said. "Do you want me to get Gohan!?" She asked. "Oh please, I have better things to do than to watch that thing all night." Discord said. He noticed Fluttershy and Treehugger were RIGHT next to him. "What I mean to say is, I'll make sure none of his residue gets on anypony..." Discord said, grabbing a vacuum cleaner and sucking up Rarity's dress. Rarity trotted away in embarrassment. "Thank you! It's alright, everypony! Let's get back to enjoying this magical evening!" Twilight exclaimed. And Gohan was still flying. "Faster! Faster!" Goten yelled. Gohan did just that. "Fastest!" Goten yelled. "Are you sure about that?" Gohan asked. "Yep!" Goten said. Then the two flew around Canterlot over fifteen times in like, 3 seconds. "Too fast! Too fast!" Goten yelled. Gohan slowed down. "You're really fast! I bet nobody can beat you!" Goten said. "Well, I don't know about that." Gohan said. During that, Discord stuck the Smooze in a closet full of gold and diamonds. He even did a stand up comedy show which everyone loved! Just kidding. He was embarrassed. And the Smooze BURST out of the closet, INCREDIBLY enlarged! It also stuck everyone to the ground. Even Rainbow Dash couldn't get out. Twilight's magic did nothing, too. Celestia's horn was rendered useless. Rarity was scared about her shoes being ruined. Pinkie Pie was using her sister Maud Pie as a boat. Fluttershy and Treehugger were stuck to the wall. Gohan sensed a disturbance. "We're going back." He said. "Okay." Goten said. Gohan flew towards the party and- "What happened!?" Gohan asked. "It's icky!" Goten yelled. "Gohan! Blast it!" Twilight yelled. Gohan fired a blast at it. Barely did anything. "I mean do the Kamehameha!" Twilight said. "I'll destroy Canterlot if I did that at the ground!" Gohan said. Nobody knew how to fix it. Then Goten had a great idea. "Gohan, I know how we can get it in one place!" He said. "Really? How?" Gohan asked. Goten leaped off of Gohan and turned Super Saiyan. He ran around the Smooze at breakneck speeds. The Smooze was being piled together, as were the ponies. "Gohan! Get the ponies out!" Goten said. Gohan did just that. The teamwork was superb. Gohan managed to get all of the ponies out of it's icky grasp while Goten pushed it all into one blob. "Good job, you two!" Twilight said. "But what will we do about this ick!?" Rarity asked. "Oh yes. We're still stuck to the wall..." Fluttershy said. "I know... Like, the Smooze has a harshed flow... Like, his senses are agitated..." Treehugger said. Goten and Gohan were both trapping the Smooze with their aura. Discord appeared in front of Treehugger. "You don't know anything about rare creatures! I've known Smoozeface for ages, he's not agitated! He's partying down!" He said, dancing. "All he needs is like, some auditory therapy." Treehugger said. "Hey, banana hair creatures. Like, stop running around it. I, will calm it." She added. "You sure!?" Gohan asked. "I know. He'll calm down with some sonic bless." Treehugger said. "Do you even know what you just said!?" Discord asked. Gohan and Goten stopped circling the Smooze, and it seemed like it was ready to go around again. Then Treehugger started singing some weird thing. All of the Smooze's residue and ick started to go in one place. Fluttershy and Treehugger were off the walls. "Let go, Smooze. Bliss out." Treehugger said before singing again. Now every single bit of the Smooze was in one place. "Wow! That was cool!" Goten said, powering down. "It worked!" Twilight said. Everyone cheered for Treehugger. "That was the most magical thing I've ever seen done with animals!" Fluttershy said. Discord was jealous as hell. "Well, thanks, everypony, it makes perfect sense that your magic doesn't work on him, he only responds to vibrations that peace out his energy fields..." Treehugger said. "THAT'S IT! I've had enough of you, Treehugger!" Discord yelled, appearing in front of Treehugger. "Oh man... You're really bumming me out. Can you, like, lower your voice a skosh?" Treehugger asked. "A skosh!? A SKOSH!?" Discord asked, ripping a hole in the plane of existence to another. He made Treehugger float to the hole. "Discord! Let her down before I- I mean, we turn you to stone!" Gohan yelled. Treehugger was scared. "Whoa! What is that!?" She asked, pointing at the weird cloth snake with googly eyes. "Relax! I'm not going to hurt you! I'm just going to send you to another dimension! I can't have you interfering with my relationship with Fluttershy anymore!" Discord said. "Let her down, you big meanie!" Goten yelled. "Meanie!?" Discord asked. "Stop it, Discord!" Fluttershy yelled, flying up to Discord. "I will! Just as soon as she's gone. Then we'll have a good laugh," Discord said, making a table, chairs and tea appear. "about this whole affair with our regular Tuesday Teas!" He said. Fluttershy was clearly not happy. "Don't worry, Fluttershy! We'll stop him!" Twilight said, standing with the rest of the Mane 6. Discord threw at shiny disco ball at them, making the Smooze envelop them all. "Discord! I swear!" Gohan yelled, beginning to charge up his Kamehameha. "I'm doing her a favor, Fluttershy! It's a lovely dimension!" Discord said, then making a slideshow appear. "Sand beaches, the attentive wait staff, I mean, okay! The humidity isn't great, but isn't that the case these days?" Discord asked. Gohan had his Kamehameha at full charge. "Gohan, hold your fire! Discord, I don't understand why you're doing this! We were all getting along so well!" Fluttershy shouted. "As well as we COULD! Considering you've already stomped all over our friendship by inviting HER to the biggest night of the year! It's as if I DIDN'T MATTER at all!" Discord shouted. "Did you REALLY think I'd abandon you just because I had a new FRIEND!?" Fluttershy shouted. "YES! Because that's what you did!" Discord retorted. "No! Discord! I invited a friend to a party! I didn't abandon you! What if you had a friend that you could discuss chaos based magic with? Would that mean we weren't friends anymore!?" Fluttershy shouted. "A- Well, no, I suppose not." Discord stammered. "It would just mean I have different friends for different things- Oh. Oh dear... I appears I overreacted just a skosh." Discord said. "More like a LOT of skoshes! Treehugger, could you give us a minute?" Fluttershy asked. Treehugger smiled and nodded. Gohan stopped his Kamehameha. "Why'd you stop?" Goten asked. "You'll see." Gohan said. "I'm just so new to this friendship thing... It's so much more complicated that it looks." Discord said. "Do you think you MAYBE owe somepony an apology?" Fluttershy asked. Discord made a flower appear for Fluttershy, but she whacked it away. "Not me!" Fluttershy said. "Oh! Oh, yes, right." Discord said, closing the portal and letting Treehugger land on a soft pillow. He then pulled all of the gold and gems the Smooze happened to eat and returned it. He apologized to Treehugger, and as expected, he was forgiven. The party was going on as usual again, and Discord even apologized to the Smooze for using him. Then the Smooze kissed him on the cheek. Now everyone was dancing on the dance floor. Except Gohan, he just did not want to dance. Goten was doing goofy dances with the Crusaders and Pinkie Pie. 'This has to be just the best Gala ever!' Gohan thought. Mission complete: Make Goten's first Gala amazing. Now, Gohan's going to the Friendship Games!
Equestria Girls: The Friendship GamesGohan and Goten were training outside. They were not Super Saiyans. "Gohan? How strong are you compared to me? Please don't lie." Goten said. "Do you really want me to be honest?" Gohan asked. Goten nodded and smiled. "Okay, I am stronger than a regular Super Saiyan without going Super Saiyan." Gohan said. "Really!?" Goten asked. "You're super strong!" He said. "Well, thanks." Gohan said. Then, Gohan realized he had an obligation in the human world. "Goten, we have to cut training short." Gohan said. "But why?" Goten whined. "Well, I have a duty somewhere. Want to come? It'll be fun." Gohan said. "Sure!" Goten said, running after Gohan. "And can we fly this time? I like that better than teleporting." He said. *** Gohan and Goten were in Twilight's castle, when... Nobody was in the castle. Gohan didn't pay too much attention to that. The two stood in front of the portal. "Goten, this leads to a new world. It's awesome. It replaces all of the ponies here with humans." Gohan said. "Really? That's cool! Let's go in!" Goten yelled. Gohan chuckled. "Yeah. Let's." He said as the two entered the mirror. *** Rainbow Dash and Applejack were outside on the school steps. So were the Crusaders. Rainbow Dash had just called all of the Humane 6 to the steps. Rarity, Sunset Shimmer, Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie ran to them as fast as they could. "I got your text, Rainbow Dash!" Sunset Shimmer said. "Did something come through the portal? Is Equestrian magic on the loose? Did Twilight or Gohan come back with a problem only WE can solve!?" She asked. Pinkie Pie appeared with cupcakes. "OR A GIANT CAKE MONSTER THAT COVERS THE WORLD IN CAKE!?" She yelled, eating the cupcakes. "Um... Not exactly." Rainbow Dash said, taking her guitar out of her case. "Uh... I don't understand." Sunset Shimmer said. "Well, Sunset, I was just telling Rainbow Dash here that a broken guitar string doesn't really qualify as an emergency." Applejack said. "It totally does!" Rainbow Dash retorted. "Really, Rainbow Dash, I was in the middle of sewing a very complex appliqué on my latest frock!" Rarity said, wearing glasses and measuring tape. "And I was just about to tuck everyone in for the night at the animal shelter." Fluttershy said, petting the bunny Angel. "Now I'll have to start stories all over again." She said. "Why would you send all of us an emergency text for a guitar string?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "Well, I was going to pony up and show our fans some awesome guitar links... But I kind of need all six strings to do it. Got any extra?" Rainbow Dash asked. Everyone groaned. Sunset Shimmer pulled a guitar string out of her bag. "Here. But everyone finished practicing for the day, I'm pretty sure all the music rooms are locked." She said. "No problem! The acoustics in the hallway are perfect for power cords!" Rainbow Dash said, playing the guitar with a new string. Then someone emerged from the portal. "Hey! It's Gohan!" Rainbow Dash said. Everyone turned to Gohan. "Hey! Goten, get out of limbo!" Gohan whispered. "I like limbo!" Goten whined. Gohan sighed as he reached in and pulled out Goten. "Hey Gohan. Who's your friend?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "He's my brother, Goten." Gohan said. Everyone looked in shock. "Uh... Did I just hear Gohan right?" Applejack asked. "You have a brother!?" Everyone asked. Goten hid behind Gohan. Gohan chuckled. "Yeah, I do. He's cool!" He said. "Come on, Goten. It's the same people we know over there." He added. Goten finally stopped cowering and took a peek. "Hi." He said. "Oh, he's adorable!" Rarity said. "Wow! I never expected you of all people to have a brother, Gohan." Rainbow Dash said. "Well, I knew he was born, but he came suddenly so much older than I anticipated." Gohan said. "Anyway, I was about to give our fans a show. You in?" Rainbow Dash asked. Goten nodded. "Then come on!" Rainbow Dash said, opening the doors to the school. "Wait, Gohan." Sunset Shimmer said. Everyone but Gohan and Sunset Shimmer entered. "You two coming?" Applejack asked. "We'll come in a second." Sunset Shimmer said. The door closed. "S-So, how's life?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "Oh, the same. Random stuff keeps happening. There's a monster who happened to kill my family on Earth, but, you know." Gohan said. "That sounds horrible!" Sunset Shimmer said. "It's why he's here." Gohan said. "Um..." Sunset Shimmer said. Gohan looked at Sunset Shimmer quizzically. "Is something wrong?" He asked. "No!" Sunset Shimmer shouted nervously. It was a random outburst. "Oh... Well, uh... How are you?" Gohan asked. "I-I'm good..." Sunset Shimmer said. She was acting really nervous. "Is... Is there any specific reason why you wanted to talk to me?" Gohan asked. Sunset Shimmer nodded and blushed. "Er... Okay... Is it some kind of-" Gohan said before he felt a presence approach the school. He turned around to see a hooded person pulling out some weird contraption. "So... Any idea who that is?" Gohan asked, pointing at the person in question. "Uh... No." Sunset Shimmer said. The person pointed the weird device at the portal, and touched it. "Hey!" Gohan said. The person immediately ran away. "Hey! Come back!" Sunset Shimmer yelled, about to run after the person. "No, let whoever that is go. Feels familiar, though." Gohan said. The person ran into a bus. "How so?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "It just felt like someone I know." Gohan said. On the bus, this person removed their hood. It was the Twilight Sparkle of this world. She wore glasses and had her hair in a bun. She sighed. The bus dropped her off at Crystal Prep Academy. Twilight entered the school and her lab. She had been conducting research on CHS because of the random magical occurrences. "I'm just going to go inside if that's okay." Gohan said. "Um... Okay. I'll be in in a second." Sunset Shimmer said. Gohan went inside the school while Sunset Shimmer sat on the steps again. She sighed and wrote a letter to Twilight. "Dear Princess Twilight, How's life treating you in Equestria? Any cool new magic spells? Monsters Gohan beat? When did Gohan's brother visit? We were pretty surprised to see someone like him have a little brother. You haven't told him my secret, have you? I just tried telling him and I got too nervous. It's been pretty quiet here at CHS since the Battle of the Bands. We still pony up when we play music, which Rainbow Dash LOVES to show off. But I still can't quite grasp what it's all about. I would love to hear about you think about it. Your friend, Sunset Shimmer" *** It was another day at CHS. The Humane 6 and the brothers were in the library discussing whoever that person was. "She was definitely doing something to the statue." Sunset Shimmer said. "Yeah. Touching it." Gohan said. "Did she come from Equestria?" Fluttershy asked. "No. It feels like that person is from here, but also feels like someone from Equestria. I just don't know who." Gohan said. "Well, that's a relief. It's good not to have some magical being bent on world domination coming over from Equestria." Applejack said with a wink. Sunset Shimmer smirked. "Does that happen a lot?" Goten asked. "You have no idea, Goten." Rainbow Dash said. "I have no interests in another fight against powerful evil magic. The wear and tear on my wardrobe is just too much for me." Rarity said. "Still, a mysterious figure lurking around the portal? Don't you want to know what she was up to?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "Oh, I don't even want to guess." Fluttershy said. "Well you don't have to! Because I figured out who it was!" Rainbow Dash said, pulling out a book. "OOH! OOH! A nighttime statue cleaner? Magical portal maintenance maintainer? Gardener!?" Pinkie Pie asked, pulling out books for all of that. "Seeing as they got off a bus FROM the city and got on a bus TO the city, I'll bet they go to..." Rainbow Dash said. "Crystal Prep." Everyone but Sunset Shimmer, Gohan and Goten said. "Yep. With the Friendship Games starting tomorrow, they'd totally try to prank us by defacing the Wondercolts statue!" Rainbow Dash said. "That's not very nice of them." Goten said. "That's right." Fluttershy said, petting Goten, making him smile. "Why would anyone take a bus all the way from the city for that?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "Because the Crystal Prep Shadowbolts are our biggest rivals?" Applejack asked. "Because that's what the students at Crystal Prep would do?" Rarity asked. "Because even though they beat us in everything, soccer, tennis, golf, they STILL have to gloat!" Rainbow Dash said, flipping to a page where they made the Wondercolts statue look like a clown. "Sounds really silly to me." Sunset Shimmer said. "SILLY!?" The rest of the Humane 6 asked. "So, I guess you think the Friendship Games are silly too." Rainbow Dash said. "She didn't mean that. The school might have some mean people, but the rivalry is just silly." Gohan said. "We'll be fighting against a school full of meanies." Fluttershy said. "Then Gohan's gonna kick their butts! Full throttle!" Goten said, uppercutting the air. He landed on the top of a bookshelf. Cheerilee noticed. "How did you get up there?" She asked with a forced smile. Gohan flew up and grabbed him. "Please excuse us." He said, floating down and putting him on the ground again. Cheerilee was confused. Then he chuckled. "Definitely not full throttle, but easygoing." He said. "No, Gohan, you HAVE to go full throttle! This is our big chance to show that the Wondercolts are better than the Shadowbolts!" Rainbow Dash said. "Eh... Fine, I guess." Gohan said. "I just don't understand why there's this big rivalry. Aren't the Friendship Games about the two schools getting along?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "Well, its kind of hard to get along when someone beats you at everything." Applejack said. "Not anymore! This time, things are gonna be different!" Rainbow Dash said. "Sounds reasonable enough." Gohan said. *** The gym was full of students sitting on chairs and the bleachers. The principals both took the stage. "As I'm sure you all know, tomorrow Canterlot High School will be hosting our fellow students from Crystal Prep Academy as we join together in the spirit of excellence, sportsmanship, and fidelity as we compete in the Friendship Games!" Celestia said. The students were pretty disinterested and clapped slowly. "Since the games happen every four years, I'm sure you're all curious what goes on!" Celestia said. "You mean other than us losing!?" Flash Sentry called from the audience. Celestia and Luna had unamused faces. "And that is why I have Rainbow Dash to give you all a little, erm, context." Celestia said. Rainbow Dash walked up and snatched the damn microphone. "Thank you Principal Celestia. Ahem, I know a lot of you might think there's NO way we can beat a 'fancy' school like Crystal Prep at anything." Rainbow Dash said. "UNLESS IT'S A LOSING COMPETITION AGAINST CRYSTAL PREP BECAUSE WE'RE REALLY GOOD AT THAT!" Pinkie Pie shouted. "Ugh. And I know that CHS has never won the Friendship Games, but that changes this time! Crystal Prep students are super athletic, super smart, and super motivated! Not only do we have a CHS member who has all of that times a billion or two, there's one thing they aren't. They aren't Wondercolts!" Rainbow Dash called. Then they sang a song called the CHS Rally song with the CHS marching band and everyone got motivated. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Jqd88q-7wI0 *** Rainbow Dash gave a thumbs up to the marching band before going backstage where her friends were waiting. "Rainbow Dash. That was amazing!" Fluttershy said with glee. "Even I feel like we can win!" She said. "Why didn't you feel that way in the library?" Rainbow Dash asked. "We have him to ace it all." She said. Gohan scratched the back of his head and smiled awkwardly. "Uh, yes. I feel like my school pride is at an all time high!" Rarity said giddily. "Is anyone else wondering why Dash ponied up without playing her guitar?" Applejack asked. "She did it while training, I don't see why it's surprising." Gohan said. "It's probably because I'm so awesome!" Rainbow Dash said. "Maybe. I mean, you are awesome, but there's got to be more to it than that, right?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "It just seems so random." She added. "Then it would be nice if you girls and boys had a handle on it." Luna said from behind. "We want to keep magic as far away as possible from the Friendship Games. We don't want to be accused of cheating." Luna said. "So does that mean I can't use my super strength? Because that's something I really no longer have a handle on." Gohan said. "Just how strong are you...?" Luna asked. "Oh, he's really strong!" Goten said. "Yeah... I'm currently wearing 4300 kilograms of clothing right now." Gohan said. "Well, that's certainly impressive. It's one of the reasons why I picked you, I suppose. But I do want you to restrain it as much as possible." Luna said. "I'll suppress myself as much as possible, Principal Luna." Gohan said. "We don't need magic or Gohan to win the games!" Rarity said. Everyone agreed. "Still, the Friendship Games are serious business. We don't want any surprises. Especially the ones that cause us to forfeit. Sunset Shimmer, Gohan, you two come from a world full of magic. Perhaps you can do something about our magical development." Luna said. "We'll do our best." Sunset Shimmer said. "May I have a rule book for the Friendship Games?" Gohan asked. "No. You will receive the rules at the Games." Luna said and walked away. "Okay, anyone have any guesses about what the events are gonna be?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Pie eating? Cake eating? PIECAKE EATING!?" Pinkie Pie asked, combining the two. "Now I know I'd win at that." Gohan said. "They won't even let us see what they're doing to the field! They can at least tell the competitors what they're competing in." Applejack said. "It could be anything." Fluttershy said. "ANYTHING!? How will I ever pick the right outfit?" Rarity asked. "Oh I hope it's the pie and/or cake eating contest." Gohan said. "I really want to help. I guess I should try to figure out why Rainbow Dash suddenly ponied up. See you later!" Sunset Shimmer said, leaving. "Seems like she has everything under control! Nothing to worry about!" Pinkie Pie said. "Maybe I should help too. Do you want to come, Goten?" Gohan asked. "Perhaps he could stay with us. He isn't wearing heavy clothing." Rarity said, picking Goten up. "I'll stay with them." Goten said. "Alright. I'll be back." Gohan said, walking after Sunset Shimmer. *** Sunset Shimmer was in the library. She tried doing mathematics and science but it couldn't explain magic. "You doing okay?" Gohan asked. "Oh! Uh... Hey!" Sunset Shimmer said a little nervously. "I'm a little concerned. You're a bit... Jumpy." Gohan said. "W-What? No, I'm fine. Do you think Twilight would answer right now?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "She wasn't home when I left." Gohan said. "I'll try anyway." Sunset Shimmer said. She wrote in the book, sending a message to Twilight. "She ponies up when she really got into doing it. I guess you all do. When it comes to music, it's fairly easy." Gohan said. "It's all so weird. What happens while we play that causes us to pony up?" Sunset Shimmer asked. *** Crystal Prep Academy Twilight roamed the halls of the very uptight school. She was having a tough time not bumping into people. She kept apologizing even when it was her own fault. She was back in her lab conducting whatever. Twilight has a device to sense magic. It would guarantee her into whatever college she wants to go to. Specifically Everton. Cadence voiced her concern for Twilight being really antisocial. But she never said it flat out. Twilight had no clue what she was talking about. She's better off alone! ...Right? Twilight was staffed with planning for the Friendship Games so that CPA would win even though she doesn't want to. Because CHS cannot have a reputation. According to the damn principal. And she gave her the job through blackmail. She and her pet dog Spike were headed to CHS for the Friendship Games. *** While the Rainbooms practiced music, Gohan and Goten were in the empty gym training. Well, it had banners and stuff, but they had some time to go loose. Goten was a Super Saiyan while Gohan was not. Goten threw many punches at Gohan, which he dodged and blocked. Gohan avoided a sweep kick by jumping high into the air. Goten jumped up and grabbed his foot. "What- Hey!" Gohan said. "Gotcha!" Goten said, throwing Gohan back to the ground. Gohan stopped himself before he put a crater into the ground. Goten came falling down with a dropkick. Gohan grabbed his feet. "Let's tone it down a little. This isn't a place to go crazy on." Gohan said. "Oh come on!" Goten said. "Fine then!" Gohan said, powering up enough to push Goten away. Then Luna came into the gymnasium. "Son Gohan, are you sure you are able to restrain yourself for the games?" Luna asked. "As long as I don't get incredibly enraged." Gohan said. "And wasn't his hair different last time?" Luna asked, pointing at Goten. "Yeah! I'm a Super Saiyan!" Goten said. "Well... That's wonderful! Have fun." Luna said, walking away. "I think training should be over for now, Goten. I'll teach you and the others how to use ki and fly next." Gohan said. "Yay!" Goten said. *** CPA just made it to CHS. Twilight, detecting magic, walked into the school. Surprisingly, everyone knew her. She even bumped into Flash Sentry. But she ran to where she could locate magic. *** Rarity had spent all this time dressing up her friends. "Uh, Rarity, why would you put so much effort and time into clothes we might not even wear?" Applejack asked, wearing a baseball player's uniform. "You're going to exhaust yourself before the games even start!" She added. "Oh nonsense! Putting effort into clothes is simply what I live for! And spending time with my friends is what simply fills me with energy!" Rarity said, suddenly ponying up. Then Gohan and Goten entered the room. "Hey." Gohan said. "Hey." Everyone said back. "When did Rarity get longer hair and big ears?" Goten asked. Twilight was outside the music room. She opened her magical pendant and somehow absorbed all of Rarity's magic. And Gohan had that feeling. He sensed someone similar was around. "Actually, Applejack, now that I think about it, maybe I could use a tiny break." Rarity said, losing her pony parts and collapsing. "I told you." Applejack said. Twilight entered the music room. "Twilight!?" Everyone but Gohan and Goten said. "Uh... Yes?" Twilight asked. "Well I'll be! You should've told us you were coming!" Applejack said, wrapping an arm around Twilight. Sunset Shimmer smiled. "Darling, your fashion is... What are you wearing? It's so severe." Rarity said. "My uniform?" Twilight asked. "Your uniform's for what?" Fluttershy asked, wearing a hockey player's uniform. "For Crystal Prep. But why does this school know who I am?" Twilight asked. Gohan knew now. "She's this world's Twilight, isn't she..." He muttered. "Did you just say Crystal Prep?" Rainbow Dash asked, wearing a British police officer's uniform. Then Spike, her dog came barking out of the bag. "Spike!" The Humane 6 said. "You know my dog's name too?" Twilight asked. Everyone was confused as hell. Except for Gohan. Outside, Celestia was giving Crystal Prep's principal, Cinch a tour of the school. "And our musical program as especially taken off!" Celestia said. But then she noticed Twilight. "Twilight?" Celestia asked. "This is getting ridiculous!" Twilight said. "I must apologize for the curiosity of my prized student." Cinch said. "Your student?" Celestia asked. "The smart ones are always curious. I'll return her to check in with the rest of her classmates." Cinch said, escorting Twilight away. "I didn't know Twilight has a twin sister." Celestia said. "This isn't the Twilight we know." Gohan said. "How do you know?" Celestia asked. "The Twilight we know is from Equestria. This Twilight is from this world. And she has a very familiar ki signature to Equestria's Twilight..." Gohan said. "Ki...? Nevermind." Celestia said, walking away. *** The eight were walking the halls. "I can't believe this world's Twilight goes to Crystal Prep!" Rarity said. "Twilight's gonna play against us? She'd never do that." Rainbow Dash said. "Our Twilight wouldn't." Fluttershy said. "Our Twilight is a princess in Equestria and an expert in friendship magic! If she really was here, we'd all know why the magical stuff we do happens!" Sunset Shimmer said a little loudly and angrily. Everyone looked at her and she sighed. "Sorry, I'm just frustrated that Twilight hasn't written back to me yet." Sunset Shimmer said. "Magic is confusing." Goten said. "It sure is." Gohan said. "Another time where I don't feel useful again." Sunset Shimmer said. "What do you mean?" Rarity asked. "I'm the one who brought magic into this world, but I can't even explain it. I rarely help at all." Sunset Shimmer said. "Oh don't say that. You were the one who told us about the Sirens and what they were doing!" Applejack said. "Yeah, but that's about it. Twilight was the one who figured out what we needed to defeat them." Sunset Shimmer said. "And guess what else we needed to defeat them." Gohan said. "You." Rarity said. "Don't feel bad! You've done good stuff!" Goten said. Sunset Shimmer smiled. "I guess. Thanks." She said. Everyone cheered. "Okay guys, let's see the info about the events and come up with a strategy!" Rainbow Dash said. Everyone began to walk away. Sunset Shimmer stood still for some reason. "You coming, Sunset?" Rainbow Dash asked. "I'll catch up with you guys in a bit." Sunset Shimmer said. She walked outside the school towards the portal. Twilight sensed magic coming from the portal and began absorbing it. Sunset Shimmer tried entering the portal, but her hand got stuck to the wall. The two actions created an equal but opposite reaction, pushing the two away from the portal. They landed sitting. Twilight had gained more magic. "What did you do!?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "Twilight, you have to go with the others." Cadence said. Twilight ran after the others. Sunset Shimmer tried going after her, but she disappeared. She tried going into the portal... And it was closed! "Where's the portal!?" Sunset Shimmer asked, trying in vain to go through. Gohan came out the doors. "Sunset Shimmer!" He said. "The portal's closed!" Sunset Shimmer said. "What!?" Gohan asked. Gohan tried entering, but he failed too! "I'm not going to be stuck here forever, am I!? Who stole the magic from this portal!?" Gohan asked. "Someone stole it?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "I'm really starting to think that someone is absorbing magic. I came out because I felt the sudden change." Gohan said. "Then we have to get it back!" Sunset Shimmer said. "I think it's Twilight!" She said. "Maybe. I sensed a good amount of magic from her pendant, but it suddenly disappeared." Gohan said. *** In the gym, there was a 'party' going on. There was a banner that said: "Welcome Crystal Prep" And the schools were not chatting. They each stayed on their side of the gym. And in the halls, the Humane 6 and the brothers walked. Pinkie Pie was carrying Goten and flying him around like an airplane. "What do you mean the portal's closed?" Applejack asked. "Someone took the magic from the portal. I believe it is this world's Twilight." Gohan said. The eight entered the gym. "What makes you say that?" Applejack asked. "Actually, leave this to me." Sunset Shimmer said, walking up to Twilight. Twilight was walking around trying to locate magic. "Twilight, what are you doing?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "M-Me? Oh, I was jus-" "Who wants to know!?" Indigo Zap interrupted, pointing a finger at Sunset Shimmer. The Rainbow Dash joined in. "Uh, we do." She said, starting a rivalry against Indigo Zap. "Calm down, Rainbow." Gohan said. "Yeah, let's not get too competitive before the games start." Applejack said, wrapping her arms around both people. "The Games have never been a competition since WE'VE never lost." Sugarcoat said. "That's not a very nice thing to say." Fluttershy said. "Sorry, dearie, these games aren't about being nice." Sunny Flare said. "Well, it might use a LITTLE tact." Rarity said. Twilight began backing away. Until she bumped into Pinkie Pie, who was carrying Goten. "Hi! I'm Pinkie Pie!" She said, holding Goten with one hand and reaching out with the other. "Oh, hi! I'm Twilight." Twilight said, grabbing Pinkie Pie's hand. She shook it with full force, man! It undid Twilight's bun. "I know! You look just like my friend! Who's name is Twilight too!" Pinkie Pie said. Twilight began to fix her hair. "Well, that's... Weird..." Twilight said. "What's that?" Pinkie Pie asked, referring to Twilight's magical pendant. "It's sort of a spectrometer. I built it to-" "Did I hear scientific talk!?" Gohan asked. Twilight turned to Gohan. "You know what a spectrometer is?" She asked. "Of course! It's a device that separates particles, molecules and atoms by their mass or energy!" Gohan said. Pinkie Pie was bored as hell hearing that. She walked away. "Wow! I didn't expect someone like you to know this stuff." Twilight said. "I've developed a kind of spectrometer with my life energy!" Gohan said. "H-How does that work? Isn't that scientifically impossible unless you used a machine?" Twilight asked. "It's simple. Using your life energy, or ki to find others' ki can be done by simply scanning locations with your own! Basically you stretch out your ki as far as you can. With enough practice, you can sense beings galaxies away!" Gohan said. "That's very interesting!" Twilight said, giggling. "I like you!" She said. "Being a nerd is awesome, right!?" Gohan asked. "Yeah!" Twilight said. The two did a weak high five. "Though... You seem to have accumulated muscle mass." Twilight said. "That's because I also train. It's why I have the spectrometer right here!" Gohan said, pointing at his head. "Hello everyone!" Celestia said through the mic. "I would like to take this opportunity to greet everyone from Crystal Prep Academy and welcome them to CHS." Celestia said. Pinkie Pie pushed a heavy box with the party cannon she received from Gohan into the gym. "And lastly, I would like to recognize the thirteen students CHS has elected to compete." Celestia said. They all waved. The roster for CHS was: The Humane 6, Gohan, Flash Sentry, Lyra Heartstrings, Bon Bon, Micro Chips, Sandalwood and Derpy Hooves/Ditzy Doo. Pinkie Pie pulled a second party cannon in. "I don't think we could've chosen a better group to represent the excellence, sportsmanship and friendship the Games stand for!" Celestia said. Pinkie Pie replaced all food with tons of cupcakes and turned the gym into a REAL party. She had Vinyl Scratch play a specific CD. The students from different schools actually began to mingle and eat together. Pinkie Pie blasted her party cannons. Everyone was having fun! Dancing and whatnot! Pinkie Pie gained her pony parts! Twilight's pendant glowed, and it absorbed all of her magic. Pinkie Pie was really drained. "I am party pooped." She said. Twilight closed her pendant, full of more magic. Gohan rushed to Pinkie Pie, catching her before she fell and gave her a senzu bean. "Thanks Gohan!" Pinkie Pie said before zipping away. "I wonder what happened." Gohan said. Twilight was scared. Then, Principal Cinch, tapped on the mic, making it give feedback. The party was halted. "I would like to thank Principal Celestia for her unconventional welcome. It's been four years since the last Friendship Games, but it feels as though nothing has changed. Canterlot High continues to pick it's competitors in a popularity contest, and Crystal Prep continues to pick it's top twelve students." Cinch said. The CPA students started to separate from the CHS students. "It is a comfort to know that even after so many years of losses, you're school is committed to its ideals, however misguided they might be. I wish you all the best of luck, regardless of the inevitable outcome." Cinch said. Pinkie Pie went to the Humane 6. "I'm sorry Pinkie. I thought your party additions were pretty swell!" Applejack said. "It definitely broke the ice." Fluttershy said. "Yes, but that Principal Cinch had frozen it again." Rarity said. Gohan came carrying Goten. "And I was having a nice nerdy conversation with Twilight discussing spectrometers." He said. "Spectro-what?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Nothing." Gohan said before chuckling. "Also, the loss of magic is looking pretty suspicious." Gohan said. "In what regards?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "Pinkie, what happened after you ponied up?" Gohan asked. "I suddenly felt the magic drain out of me." Pinkie Pie said. "Really? Where's this world's Twilight?" Applejack asked. "I dunno." Pinkie Pie said. *** The Friendship Games has begun! The two competing teams were in front of the school's entrance and exit inside the school. "Welcome to the first event! The academic decathlon! You'll be scored on chemistry, home-ec, and everything in between. But remember, only the six students from each team with the most points will move on to event number two! Good luck!" Cadence said. The test began! ...And Gohan was way ahead of everyone else. He did all the experiments with speed and precision. He was first to finish. Then he, Fluttershy and Pinkie made a fucking Mona Lisa cake. Next, everyone was making a birdhouse. The Shadowbolts won this one, making a double birdhouse with flames. Gohan only made the sturdiest yet the most basic birdhouse. ...After destroying about three. In the spelling bee, Gohan and Twilight remained to be the last ones standing. He spelled carcinogen. Seriously, I know this is off topic but I find it stupid that almost every or every student got some of the simplest words wrong. And now he and Twilight were doing advanced math equations with triangles and Pythagorean theorem and quadratic equations and algebra. And Gohan won in that regard, being much faster than anyone else. X = 30 He did it in less than a minute! "Correct!" Cinch said. Everyone was very surprised. Especially Twilight. 'Since when was he a super nerd like me times ten?' She thought. "The winner of the first event of the Friendship Games is Son Gohan of Canterlot High!" Luna declared. Everyone from CHS cheered while also being really surprised. A superhero a nerd!? Get outta here! CPA booed. "That was awesome!" Rainbow Dash said, hugging Gohan. "Thanks. I study often." Gohan said. "Yeah! You did awesome, Gohan!" Goten said. "Thanks!" Gohan said. "After a careful tally of the combined points, we would like to announce the students moving on to the Friendship Games' second event!" Cadence said. The students walked onstage. Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Sunset Shimmer, Rarity, Pinkie Pie and Gohan were moving on. CPA wasn't cheering or anything, but CHS was. Twilight went offstage with her team in shame. "Twilight." Cinch said, looking at Twilight with a death stare. Twilight cowered in fear as she walked away. *** Fluttershy was feeding her little critters outside. Twilight followed her because of the magic she could see. And Fluttershy caught her. "Would you like to feed the little critters?" She asked. Twilight hesitated at first, but smiled and went to Fluttershy. "Guess I'm not the only one to smuggle her pet into school." Twilight said. "Not just one." Fluttershy said, showing off the more animals. "Wow." Twilight said. "All I have is Spike." She said, letting Spike out. Fluttershy picked Spike up. "Does he talk?" She asked. "Uh... Not that I know of." Twilight said. "Oh, nice job on making it so far in the first event. Gohan really didn't suppress himself like he said he would." Fluttershy said. "Thanks, and- Suppress?" Twilight asked. Fluttershy nodded. "He's the most powerful, fastest, and smartest boy at CHS. I can't see anyone beating him in academics- Even worse, sports." She said. "That's... Very interesting." Twilight said. "Also, it seemed like your team wasn't really happy about advancing." Fluttershy said. "No one at my school gets excited about anything they didn't do themselves." Twilight said, frowning. "That sounds awful." Fluttershy said. Then, she picked up her bunny. "Here, hold this." She said, handing him to Twilight. Twilight did it hesitantly at first. "Um... Why?" She asked. "Holding a bunny always makes me feel better." Fluttershy said. "Well, that's ridiculous, but-" Twilight said before Angel rubbed his head on Twilight. Twilight was glad it happened. "It actually kind of works." She said, stroking the bunny. Then she had a weird realization. "I'm on the other team and you just won. Why are you being so nice to me?" She asked. "You looked like you needed it." Fluttershy said. Suddenly, she ponied up! Twilight looked in awe. "Wow!" She said. The pendant floated towards Fluttershy. It opened, starting to steal Fluttershy's magic. It got out of control, and shot magic portals. From them, a weird animal hybrid from Chernobyl emerged. Spike chased after it, leaping from portal to portal until getting caught in between Fluttershy's magic. "Spike!" Twilight exclaimed, closing her pendant. Fluttershy groaned as she gave Spike to Twilight. Her power was very diminished. *** As the seven were walking the halls, Gohan felt Fluttershy's power level go to 1. "Sorry guys, I'll be back in a moment." Gohan said, using Instant Transmission. "How do you get used to that?" Rainbow Dash asked. "He usually flies me everywhere. He said he'd teach me how to fly with his students." Goten said. "Well, you'll learn with us!" Rarity said. "Cool!" Goten said. *** "Spike! Are you okay?" Twilight asked. "Uh... I think so." Spike said. Twilight hugged Spike, then the two screamed. Twilight ran away in fear. "Twilight! Wait!" Spike yelled, chasing after her. Fluttershy collapsed onto the ground. "B-Bye... H-Help..." She said. Gohan appeared. "Fluttershy!" He said. He quickly turned Fluttershy over and gave her a senzu bean. 'If this keeps happening then I'll run out.' He thought. Fluttershy opened her eyes to see Gohan. "Hey. Are you okay?" He asked. Fluttershy blushed randomly and didn't respond. She only stared. Gohan was a little confused. "Helloooo?" He asked, waving a hand in front of Fluttershy's face. "Oh! Sorry. Thank you, Gohan." Fluttershy said, sitting up. "What happened?" Gohan asked. "I... I can't remember...." Fluttershy said. "Hold on." Gohan said, placing a hand on Fluttershy's head. He tried reading her mind... But found nothing. It truly was gone. "Well, you really don't remember." Gohan said. *** Twilight was inside the school. She finally came to terms about Spike SOMEHOW being able to talk. "Twilight." Cinch said. Twilight instantly stuffed Spike into an empty locker. "Who are you talking to?" She asked. "U-Uh, myself! It's a nervous habit. Were you looking for me?" Twilight asked. "Indeed I was. I hope you know I am very disappointed in you. You lost to a boy practicing martial arts! His fashion sense is incredibly uncouth, his hair is sporadic and he seems like a brute." Cinch said. Twilight hung her head low in shame. "However, if you are to win the next parts I will reward you mightily. Now, it is a coincidence that the CHS students moving on to the next event are the same 'nice' girls and that brute who were so interested in you, don't you think?" She asked. "I'm not sure." Twilight said. "Perhaps you should get to know them after all." Cinch said. "But I thought you didn't want me to." Twilight said. "Let's just say I'm covering my bases. Who knows? Perhaps they will reveal to you the secret to Canterlot High's newfound success." Cinch said, grabbing Twilight's shoulders. "I don't know... Spying feels kind of wrong..." Twilight said. "Well, it is your decision. It's not as if your application hangs in the balance. On second thought, yes it does." Cinch said, walking away. "Wait! I do know the boy I lost to is the best player they have. He happens to be the strongest, fastest and smartest student here." Twilight said. Cinch smiled. "Thank you. Please continue to find more secrets." She said, walking away. *** The Humane 6 and the brothers were roaming the halls. "You seriously don't remember?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "No. I remember that I ponied up, but everything after and a little before that is a blur." Fluttershy said. "This keeps happening because of someone." Gohan said. "Can you figure it out Gohan?" Goten asked. "I'll try." Gohan said. "I don't get it. Rarity's magic was out while making dresses, Pinkie's with the party and now Fluttershy." Sunset Shimmer said. "I remember that I couldn't stand up after that. In fact, I think I almost fainted." Fluttershy said. "Me too! At the party!" Pinkie Pie said. "And me too before meeting Twilight!" Rarity said. "So she's stealing magic..." Sunset Shimmer said. "I don't know, it doesn't seem like the magic stealing's tied." Applejack said. "If her pendant can steal magic, maybe it stole the portal too!" Sunset Shimmer said. "How?" Fluttershy asked. "She did say that her pendant was a spectrometer. It probably measured the frequencies in the magic from us and the portal and took it." Gohan said. "Wait, really?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "It's my theory, anyways." Gohan said. "Well, for now, let's just focus on beating the Shadowbolts. With Gohan here, it should be a cinch." Rainbow Dash said. "And as long as this event puts me on a playing field, we don't have anything to worry about!" Rainbow Dash bragged. *** The second event was beginning. A motorcross event. There was a huge course for it outside. Even a scoreboard. No wonder they kept it a secret from the students. Cinch was instructing her students. "You will race in pairs. Indigo Zap and Sugarcoat will handle the motocross." Cinch said. "Yes!" Indigo Zap said. "Lemon Zest and Sunny Flare have requested the short track." Cinch said. The two high fived each other. "Since archery is a standard requirement at our school, any of you should be able to do it. Twilight and Sour Sweet will start us off." Cinch said. "Well, that's just marvelous! If you wanna lose before we even start!" Sour Sweet said. "Given that Twilight lost the last event in second place, I am very sure that she will be able to pull her weight here." Cinch said. "Won't you." She said. Twilight nodded nervously. *** The four with a front row seat were Celestia, Luna, Cadence and Cinch. "Welcome everyone, to the Friendship Games tricross relay!" Cadence announced. Everyone cheered in the bleachers. "In this event, our qualifying competitors will face off in archery, speed skating, and finally, motorcross." Cadence said. Gohan and Applejack were handling archery, while Rarity and Pinkie Pie did speed skating and Rainbow Dash and Sunset Shimmer were doing motorcross. And yes, Rarity made suits for all of them except Gohan because he refused. "GO GOHAN!" Goten yelled from the bleachers. "So, if the competitors are ready..." Cadence said before blowing an air horn. The archers began. Gohan went first, darting at a good speed. He was up against Sour Sweet. He jumped over each hay with speed. He was way ahead of her. Halfway through the jumping, he began to do flips and jump with with hands too. Everyone looked in shock and excitement. When it came to the rope jump, Gohan simply leaped over the hole. He even did a flip. Cinch and Cadence were very surprised. Sour Sweet wasn't even done with the hay yet! Gohan grabbed his arrows and bow. He instantly shot his arrows while singing: "Chickity China the Chinese chicken!" He got all four moving targets on the bullseye. Although he wasn't supposed to do that, he was allowed to proceed. "This is most impressive! Son Gohan shall suffer no penalty, but receive praise!" Cadence said. Everyone cheered. Goten was doing the most. And everyone was surprised! Like, EXTREMELY surprised. Especially Cinch. She did not like Gohan one single bit. Sour Sweet managed to make it to the rope finally. Applejack darted towards her bow and arrow. Sour Sweet finally managed to get to her bow and arrow. She shot three arrows in one shot, getting a bullseye. Twilight started! And instantly tripped over the hay. Applejack was done with the hay jumping. Sour Sweet shot all three arrows at once, securing a target. Applejack made it to her bow and arrow. She managed to get one but not a bullseye. Twilight made it to the rope. Sour Sweet was enraged. Applejack tried again, and then after a deep breath, she got a bullseye! Canterlot scored one point on the scoreboard. The speed skaters for CHS darted towards the finish line. "And Canterlot is off to an early lead!" Cadence said. Twilight finally made it to the bow and arrows, but kept failing. And CHS already had a lap, and now they had two. "If CPA can't hit a bullseye soon, they'll be out of this race!" Cadence said. Sour Sweet was getting angrier. "NOW THAT'S JUST FANTASTIC!" She yelled at Twilight. Twilight was hurt emotionally. "I'm definitely glad I don't go to school at Crystal Prep." Gohan said. "Agreed." Applejack said. Twilight failed again. Sour Sweet began verbally abusing Twilight. Twilight actually had tears in her eyes. "You're really bad at this!" Sugarcoat yelled. "Hey! She's trying her best, maybe you should be quiet!" Gohan yelled. "Ugh, I can't take this anymore!" Applejack said, handing her bow to Gohan. She went up to Twilight. "You have to stop aiming at the target." Applejack said. "Oh that makes perfect sense! Don't aim at the target! Thanks so much!" Sour Sweet said sarcastically. "You have to start aiming at where the target is. And aim it at where the target's gonna be." Applejack said. "Yeah! Definitely take advice FROM THE PERSON YOU'RE COMPETING AGAINST!" Sour Sweet yelled. Twilight began to cry again. "Do you want to hit the bullseye or not?" Applejack asked. Twilight wiped her tears and nodded. "Then trust me. Take a deep breath." Applejack said. Twilight did just that. "And let the arrow go... Right... NOW!" Applejack said. Twilight released the arrow. It was a bullseye! Sour Sweet backed away in embarrassment. The crowd cheered, and Cinch was pleased. Twilight hugged Applejack. "See? I was telling you the truth." Applejack said. Then she suddenly ponied up! Twilight's pendant began to absorb it! "Ugh! What- Are- You- Doing!?" Applejack asked. Gohan quickly jumped over to Applejack. "I don't know!" Twilight said with tears. Applejack lost her pony stuff and fell. Gohan caught her and laid her down. Twilight managed to close the pendant, but then backed up and tripped. The pendant snapped, and the pendant was on the skating track. It even let out a portal. "Canterlot High has finished the speed skating event! But it seems Crystal Prep is making up lost time!" Cadence said. The score was Wondercolts 8-6 Shadowbolts. Crystal Prep students knocked Twilight's pendant away from the track. "Here Applejack, eat up." Gohan said, feeding her a senzu bean. Applejack managed to sit up. "What happened...?" She asked. "She stole your magic." Gohan said. "She did what?" Applejack asked. The motorists began. Then CPA's started. Twilight tried to grab her pendant, but the portals made vines appear that kept grabbing her. Suddenly, the vine snapped. Twilight looked up to see no other than Gohan. "Go!" He yelled, kicking a piranha away. Rainbow Dash narrowly avoided an incoming monster. The same could not be said for Sunset Shimmer and Sugarcoat, who both lost their bikes to the monster. Well, Sunset Shimmer fell off her bike. The principals and dean were shocked! Indigo Zap used the monster to keep up with Rainbow Dash by using it as a ramp. Gohan rushed to the track and started to beat down the monster, who ate Sugarcoat's bike. Sugarcoat fell down. Gohan fired ki blasts at the monster. Rainbow Dash, seeing Sunset Shimmer fallen, noticed that one of the monster's piranha's was going to eat her. So she turned around and grabbed Sunset Shimmer before she could be eaten by the monster. "Dash! You saved me!" Sunset Shimmer said. "I wasn't about to let my friend become plant food!" Rainbow Dash said, stopping. She ponied up! Cinch looked at Celestia who shrugged nervously. Gohan flew around the monster, firing more ki blasts. Goten even joined in, turning Super Saiyan and beating it down. "Keep going Goten!" Gohan yelled. More of the monster tried to attack Twilight, and Spike fended some of it off. "We can still win this!" Rainbow Dash yelled, flying at the finish line. Sunset Shimmer took her bike and the two raced towards the finish line. Indigo Zap may have been in the lead, but the monster put a crater into the track in which she fell. The monster was about to devour her before Goten kicked it away. Even Rainbow Dash joined in, smashing herself into the monster so it wouldn't devour Sunset Shimmer again. Indigo Zap managed to get out. She and Sunset Shimmer was neck at neck. And... "Canterlot Wins!" Cadence said. Everyone cheered, well, except for Crystal Prep. They booed. "Attention Students. Please proceed to the gym." Cadence said. Twilight finally did it and closed her pendant, which had created portals all over the place. Now the monster disappeared. The Humane 6 all rushed together. "Are y'all alright!?" Applejack asked. "Of course we're alright! We won!" Rainbow Dash said, flying in. Sunset Shimmer took off her helmet. "We won, but somebody could've been seriously hurt! The magic is going haywire and I don't know how to fix it!" Sunset Shimmer shouted. "Um, excuse me." Twilight said. "I didn't want this to happen. I just wanted to learn about the strange energy from your school! I didn't know it was magic or how it works." Twilight said. Rainbow Dash walked up to Twilight. "That's okay, neither do we." She said. The pendant began taking her magic! "No! Nonono! Not again!" Twilight said. Rainbow Dash strained as she began to lose her magic. She lost her pony parts and collapsed. "I'm sorry! It just started absorbing energy on it's own! But I'm not sure how!" Twilight shouted as she tried to close the pendant. Gohan flew in, flipping Rainbow Dash over and giving her a senzu bean. "Eat." He said. 'It's her.' He thought. And he check his pouch to see only two senzu beans left. He sighed. "What do you mean you don't know how!?" Sunset Shimmer shouted as she tried to close it too. He sighed again. However, it only caused the portal to Equestria to appear. Goten ran up and shut it himself. It closed. "You really need to train more." He said, reverting back to his base form. "What?" Twilight asked. "I don't know how this works!" She exclaimed. "What DO you know!? Do you know how to get our magic back!? Or fix the portal to Equestria!?" Sunset Shimmer asked. Cinch watched from afar. "Equestria?" Twilight asked. "You're supposed to be so smart, but did you ever think that you shouldn't be messing around with things you don't understand!?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "But I want to understand!" Twilight said. "But you DON'T! And worst of all, you put the lives of my friends in danger!" Sunset Shimmer yelled. Twilight began to cry again. "I'm sorry... I didn't mean to!" She sobbed before running away. Sunset Shimmer was about to chase her, until Rainbow Dash put a hand on her shoulder, making her realize her stupid outburst. Cinch smirked as she saw this. "Ahem." Celestia said. "You can't possibly call that a fair race!" Cinch said, crossing her arms. "Principal Cinch, we all saw what happened. You can't think CHS had some kind of advantage." Celestia said. "Can't I? Even without your trained attack plants, your students have wings and can fly without them!" Cinch said. "Well, the race had some... Extenuating circumstances. Perhaps we should end the Games now and declare a tie." Celestia said. "Tie? Was this your strategy all along? To force us into accepting you as equals?" Cinch asked, pointing a finger at Celestia. The eight kids walked up to the principals and dean. "I think not. The Games will continue and Crystal Prep will prevail despite your antics and performance enhancing regimen your students are on." Cinch said, walking away. Gohan snickered at 'performance enhancing regimen.' "I'm sorry I couldn't keep all this from happening." Sunset Shimmer said. "It's not your fault, Sunset." Celestia said. "Isn't it? I should know how to control the magic I brought here. But I don't. I let everyone down. And now Principal Cinch thinks we're cheating!" Sunset Shimmer said. "It doesn't matter what Principal Cinch thinks." Celestia said, putting a hand on Sunset's shoulder. "But it does! The students here at CHS don't just want to win, they want to beat Crystal Prep! It isn't going to count if the other side doesn't really think they lost. Crystal Prep we win fair and square if there's magic around. And that magic is only around because of me." Sunset Shimmer said. "Wait, what about Gohan?" Celestia asked. "Oh, I don't use magic. It's just life energy, except mine is exponentially higher than a lot of people." Gohan said. "For example, I can do this at will." He said, blasting the sky with yellow ki. Everyone looked in amazement. "But I can't really explain magic." He said. *** The third event was happening since the second event was handed to Crystal Prep due to 'cheating.' They were around the entrance of the school, where bleachers were placed. "Somewhere on campus, a pennant from each school has been hidden. Whoever brings the school flag back first wins!" Luna said. "As soon as our teams are ready, we'll begin." Cadence said. "But I don't feel like playing these games anymore..." Fluttershy said. "But we have to! This is the last event!" Rainbow Dash said. "Ugh. It's a little hard to focus with this magic stealing and portal opening." Rarity said. "And I feel awful for what I said to Twilight." Sunset Shimmer said. "Don't feel bad, everyone has their little outbursts." Gohan said. "Especially when she actually didn't mean to do it... She's actually really nice." Fluttershy said. Sunset Shimmer covered her face in shame. "Oh, don't feel bad." Gohan said, placing a hand on Sunset's shoulder. The rest of the Humane 6 stared at Fluttershy. "Should I just dart in and out for you guys?" Gohan asked. "Maybe... I'm not feeling that school spirit either." Rainbow Dash said. "Let's just get through this last event and prove we're not cheaters. Then you can go over and apologize. Gohan, go as you wish." Applejack said. "Yeah! You can do it!" Goten cheered. On the other side, Cinch was instructing her students. "I know I'm asking you to beat a team that isn't playing fair, but Canterlot High must be made to understand that even with magic at their disposal, beating Crystal Prep is simply not an option." Cinch said. "But what if they grow wings again? He's still flying!" Sugarcoat said, pointing at Gohan, who was flying Goten around like an airplane while flying himself. "Perhaps we can now fight fire with fire." Cinch said, walking up to Twilight. "I've seen what your device can do, Twilight. Containing magical energy is fine, but have you considered releasing it?" Cinch asked. "But I don't even understand how it works!" Twilight said. "But you'd like to. And since our opponents have already used it to stay competitive I see no reason why we shouldn't do the same. Unless of course, you have no interest in Everton. Though honestly, I think there's more knowledge packed in that little device than any independent study program could offer." Cinch said. The students and Cinch were nudging Twilight to use the magic. If she didn't, then she was to blame for losing. Twilight walked to the center of the 'stadium.' Gohan was a few feet away. "The last event begins..." Cadence said. CHS and CPA were cheering. Gohan looked in confusion. "NOW!" Cadence said. Twilight released the magic. "W-What are you doing!?" Gohan asked. A flash of white and a purple shockwave appeared, knocking everyone but Gohan and Goten down. The purple orb of magic began to float. And Twilight did too. The pendant fell. Everyone looked in shock. "Twilight! Stop before you lose control!" Gohan yelled. Twilight was being sucked into the growing orb. She reached a hand out towards her team with tears in her eyes. "HELP! ME!" She screamed as she was enveloped by it. Another white flash appeared. Twilight transformed! Her hair was like flames, she received a glowing blue horn similar to Chrysalis, dark blue wings, glowing blue glasses, eyes and shoes and a spikier fashion. Cinch began backing away. Twilight cackled. "You were right! I didn't understand magic before! But I do now!" She yelled, blasting the Wondercolts' statue to pieces. The portal to Equestria appeared. A crack split across the ground. Especially where the Humane 6 were. Twilight made another portal appear to Equestria. She made more, and more, and more portals appear! Many started to run away and panic and scream. Even Cinch ran away. "That's enough! You cannot do this!" Gohan yelled, flying up so that he was at the same level as Twilight. Twilight laughed. "Why not? There's a whole other world out there, and it's just FILLED with MAGIC!" She yelled, firing another blast for another portal. "You're destroying this world to get to it!" Sunset Shimmer yelled. "So what? There's more magic there... And I want to UNDERSTAND IT ALL!" Twilight yelled, powering up three blasts at Sunset Shimmer. Gohan appeared in front of Sunset, holding the magic off. "Run!" He yelled. Sunset Shimmer did just that. Gohan grunted as he managed to hold the immense magic in his hands, much to everyone's surprise. He was able to make it incredibly small, to the size of a golf ball. "You can't win here, Twilight!" Gohan yelled, crushing it completely. Sunset Shimmer grabbed Twilight's pendant. It started sensing magic from the rest of the Humane 6. Then, she turned to Twilight. "This isn't the way! I know you feel powerful right now, and you can do nearly anything you want! But I've been to where you are. You're making the same mistake I made! I put on a crown and just like you, I was overwhelmed by the magic I had. I thought it could get me everything I wanted." Sunset Shimmer said. "Oh you're wrong. Unlike YOU, I CAN have everything I want!" Twilight said. Gohan flew up and kicked her in the face. "No you can't!" He yelled. "He's right! You can't! Even with all that magic and power, you'll still be alone! True magic comes from honesty," Sunset Shimmer said. Applejack began ponying up all of a sudden. "Loyalty," Then Rainbow Dash. "Laughter," Then Pinkie Pie. "Generosity," Then Rarity. "Kindness." Then finally Fluttershy. Sunset Shimmer opened the pendant and started absorbing all their magic. "I understand you, Twilight. As I want to show you the most important magic of all!" She said, holding the pendant towards Twilight. Twilight merely levitated it away from Sunset Shimmer. "Wait! Stop!" She said. Twilight cackled. "Did you expect me to let YOU have some of this power?" She asked before cackling again. Twilight absorbed the extra magic for herself, greatly increasing her own. She dropped the pendant to the ground. "N-No!" Sunset Shimmer yelled. The rest of the Humane 6 were now extremely powerless. And the remaining people left were them, the rest of CPA, Gohan and Goten. "Now I'm UNSTOPPABLE!" Twilight yelled. "No you're not!" Goten yelled from below. Twilight frowned at Goten. "Begone, you child!" She yelled, blasting Goten. "Goten!" Gohan yelled. Smoke covered the area. Then Gohan smirked. "I think you've doomed yourself." Gohan chuckled. "How so?" Twilight asked. A yellow aura flared high into the clouds and the smoke was cleared. People from afar could see it. "H-He's a Super Saiyan...?" Rainbow Dash muttered. Twilight looked in shock. Goten had a death stare at Twilight. "YOU MEANIE!" He yelled as he jumped up, cracking the ground and smashing his own fist into Twilight's face. Twilight herself was surprised that with all her power, she was just hurt by a child! Goten grabbed Twilight's arm as he fell back to the ground and smashed her against it, breaking his own fall. The CPA team watched in shock as a six year old just brought Twilight down. Goten repeatedly punched Twilight until Twilight powered up and flew up. "Hey! Flying's no fair!" Goten yelled, completely forgetting that he could jump. Gohan landed beside Goten. "Do you want me to take it from here?" He asked. Goten nodded. "Protect the girls." Gohan said, flying up at Twilight. Goten sidestepped to the Humane 6. "DIE!" Twilight yelled as she blasted Gohan. Gohan used his invisible ki as a barrier to fend off the magic. He was a human missile darting at Twilight. He smashed his head into her stomach and roundhouse kicked her to the side. Twilight recovered and was brimming with rage. "How... HOW!? My pendant should've been able to absorb your magic! What the hell are you!?" She yelled. Gohan turned to Twilight and smiled. "I'm no magic user. I'm a Super Saiyan!" He yelled, turning Super Saiyan to show off. Twilight watched in shock. "Y-Your hair... H-How..." Twilight asked. People from afar could see the shining warrior. Gohan reverted back to base form. "I won't be needing that." He said as he seemingly appeared in front of Twilight and started to repeatedly punch her all over her body except the chest. He then kicked her, teleported behind her and roundhouse kicked her, teleported behind her again and kicked her, did it again, and ended it by smashing his fist into Twilight's stomach, making her cough. Twilight grabbed her stomach in pain. "Y-You..." She muttered. "I don't want to keep hurting you, Twilight. You may possess one of the most powerful forms of magic, and the ability to warp dimensions. However, it truly pales in comparison to the magic of Friendship! Sunset!" Gohan yelled. Sunset Shimmer stood up. "But they're powerless now!" She said. "Not yet!" Gohan said. Twilight darted forward and tried to punch Gohan with a magic powered fist, but he dodged, grabbed her arm and threw her over his shoulder. "Goten! The pendant!" Gohan yelled. Goten rushed to the pendant. "What do I do with it?" He asked. Gohan avoided another blast from Twilight, knocking it away. He fired a powerful blast at Twilight, further damaging and enraging her. "Pass it to Sunset!" Gohan yelled, firing pea shots at Twilight in an effort to further enrage her. Goten tossed the pendant to Sunset Shimmer and she caught it. "Now what!?" She asked. The rest of the Humane 6 were helped stand up by the CPA students. "You should know by now." Gohan said, whacking another blast of magic away. Sunset Shimmer looked to her friends. "What is he even talking about?" Rainbow Dash asked. Sunset Shimmer now realized what she had to do. "Girls, I'm sorry, I have to do this." She said. Sunset Shimmer held the pendant high. The Humane 6 had what little magic they had left absorbed by the pendant. Even Sunset Shimmer, who had a ton to spare. She looked inside the pendant and the magic it contained. Gohan smashed his fist into Twilight's gut, immobilizing her for a while. She was in huge pain to try and attack again. Gohan flew to the girls. "Goten, take it!" He said. Sunset Shimmer handed the pendant to Goten. Gohan picked Goten up. "I'm going to throw you, and I need you to direct this magic at her!" Gohan said. Goten nodded. Gohan swung him around a few times before letting loose. Goten flew straight at Twilight. Twilight managed to get herself to try blasting Goten. Goten powered up and made his aura flare. Twilight managed to hold Goten off for a bit. "TWILIGHT!" Spike screamed, appearing out of nowhere. Twilight looked down at Spike. "Spike?" She asked, her eyes suddenly turning normal again. "Hyaaaaaaaaa....AAAAAH!" Goten yelled. Goten broke through Twilight's blast. He aimed the magic at Twilight and... He... Blasted the magic somehow. It even surprised Gohan. Goten pulled a Kid Goku vs King Piccolo on Twilight. Except he blasted her stomach and not did not push through her. Twilight coughed blood as she desperately reached for nothing. She gradually fell. Her magic was sequentially returned to everyone, including from the pendant. The Humane 6 all ponied up. All of the portals deactivated. Except for the one going to Equestria, that one remained inside the block of stone without the Wondercolts statue. And her form returned to normal. Gohan jumped up and caught Twilight before she would eventually hit the ground. You know, bridal style. Sunset Shimmer was a little jealous. Can you guess why? He laid her down on the ground and gave her a senzu bean. Her hair was ruined a bit. Twilight sat up. She looked up to see Gohan. "You... Saved me?" She asked. Gohan chuckled. "Why wouldn't I?" He asked. The students from both schools began to go back. "....I-I'm so sorry... I didn't mean for any of this to happen..." Twilight said, crying. Gohan merely held his hand out. Twilight was confused. "Y-You... A-After all I've...?" She managed to say. "You wouldn't be the first person. I've- No. We all have learned that friendship is the ultimate magic. Even a tiny fraction of it was enough to destroy the evil in your heart." Gohan said. Twilight hesitantly took Gohan's hand. Gohan immediately brought her up. "Trust me when I say that we all forgive you, Twilight." He said. Twilight instinctively hugged Gohan while crying, much to his surprise. He then hugged back. "Aw, hugs are nice." He said. Twilight realized what she was doing, broke the hug and blushed slightly. Then Spike tackle hugged Twilight's face with her glasses. Twilight laughed as Spike licked her. Cinch watched behind the bleachers. She walked up to the two principals and dean walking outside the school. "Principal Celestia, I demand you forfeit the Friendship Games! Clearly CHS has had unfair advantage for quite some time and it's certainly obvious that your students have been using magic for their own benefit." Cinch said. "I think saving the world with magic and ki benefits us all. By the way, he isn't using magic." Celestia said, pointing at Gohan. "At least they didn't manipulate Twilight into releasing all the stolen magic and turning into a power-crazed magical creature that tried to rip the world apart just to win a game." Sugarcoat said at a very fast speed. "Wow! That's a lot to take in when you say it all at once." Pinkie Pie said. "That's ridiculous!" Cinch retorted. "Nope. That's pretty much what happened." Spike said, much to everyone's surprise. "Actually, we're all to blame..... Mostly it was her." Sour Sweet said. "Obviously my students have been infected with your magic! I plan taking this all up with the school board!" Cinch declared. "Good! I'm sure they'll be interested in the magical students with wings." Celestia said. Everyone realized how freaking absurd it sounded. "Oh, and the portals to different dimensions." Luna said. "And don't forget to tell them about the talking dog and the toddler and teenager who can change their eye color, hair color and hairstyle at will. Also who shoot laser beams out of their hands and move at superhuman speeds." Cadence said. Cinch was brimming with rage. "Don't forget feet, eyes, mouth and many other parts of the body!" Gohan added. "Because that would NEVER ruin your reputation." Spike said. She turned to the students and non students around her. They all either smirked at her or had a mean face towards her. She was seemingly going to explode... But instead casually walked away. "Well, I know this Friendship Games isn't what any of us expected. But given that what we've all just been through, I think it's fair to declare us all winners." Celestia said. Everyone cheered. Gohan walked over to Goten, who was still a Super Saiyan. He reached into his pouch for his final senzu bean. "You did great, sport." He said, giving it to Goten. "Thanks Gohan!" Goten said, reverting back to base form and eating the bean. "No problem, buddy." Gohan said, rubbing Goten's hair. "We couldn't have done it without you." He said. *** Twilight was given the chance to transfer to Canterlot High! The Humane 6 and the brothers were outside the portal. They all got a gold medal, even though Fluttershy was out and Goten didn't even participate for the tryouts. The students from Crystal Prep were still here. "Are you leaving already?" Fluttershy asked. "We won't leave yet, I still have to teach you all ki." Gohan said. "And how to fly!" Goten added. "Hey Sunset, did Princess Twilight get you a message yet?" Rainbow Dash asked. Sunset Shimmer checked her book and nothing appeared yet. "Nope. Nothing yet. But I think I figured it out. We all pony up when we show the truest part of ourselves. I was so busy for someone else to give me the answers and I gave up looking for them myself. I'm sure there will be more magical problems that'll pop up in this world." Sunset Shimmer said. "And if they're some kind of monster bent on ruling the world or somethin', we got two Super Saiyans to fend it off." Applejack said. "Yeah, but you can't expect us to be around to fix everything." Gohan said. "Maybe I can be?" Twilight asked. Everyone turned to Twilight who was with Celestia. "It seems we have a new Wondercolt here at Canterlot High!" Celestia announced. "I'm not sure how much help I can be. But I'd like to try! I-If you'd all give me a chance." Twilight said. The Humane 6 all looked at each other and smiled. "I'm sure you girls and boys can help her feel at home." Celestia said. "Duh! We're all friends here!" Gohan said before anyone else. Everyone got into a group hug with Twilight. "Also, we're fellow nerds, right?" Gohan asked. "Right!" Twilight said. *** The nine were having a picnic outside the portal. Just before training. Pinkie Pie was lounging on the slab (top of the portal), Rarity was doing Rainbow Dash's hair, Applejack watched, Sunset Shimmer watched as she drank juice and ate a sandwich, Fluttershy was tending to Spike, Goten was also drinking juice and the nerds spoke tons of banter nobody else understood. Sunset Shimmer watched Gohan and Twilight in a little jealousy. They were getting along pretty well. 'Too well, perhaps? No, what am I thinking...?' She thought. Then the Equestrian Twilight came bursting through the portal. "I'm so sorry I didn't get here sooner! I didn't get your messages until just now because I was caught in this time travel loop and, honestly, it was the strangest thing that's ever happened to me!" She sputtered. Then she saw this world's Twilight, who we'll now refer to as Sci-Twi. "Make that the second strangest..." Twilight said. "Well, we fixed the problem, Twilight." Gohan said. "Great!... Should I leave?" Twilight asked. "I'm seriously ready to try and get thoughts of you all turning into ponies your not." She said. "I... I think you need a therapist now." Gohan said, pointing at Twilight. Author's Note The next chapter will be Gohan teaching again. Also, who can guess what Sunset's secret is? Why do I even bother, of course you do!
Aftermath of the Friendship Games (Another Training Session)"So, how does it feel meeting your counterpart, Twilight?" Gohan asked. "Very surprised. I'm almost speechless." Twilight and Sci-Twi said. "She's the Princess of Friendship!" Pinkie Pie said. "That means she knows EEEVERYTHING about friendship!" She added. "Everything...?" Sci-Twi asked. "Everything." Gohan said. "Well, that's definitely an overstatement, it's definitely impossible to know every single thing about such a vast subject." He added. "That's true." Twilight and Sci-Twi said. "And this Twilight needs to learn a lot about friendship." Gohan said. "Yeah... I realized that I'd rather have friends than be a friendless she-demon." Sci-Twi said. "Just like me!" Sunset Shimmer said. Everyone laughed. "Okay, it seems you guys have everything under control. And Sunset, you better do the thing soon." Twilight said, winking before going back to Equestria. "What is she talking about?" Fluttershy asked. "I-It's a... An assignment! Yeah, something to write to her about friendship." Sunset Shimmer said. "You take friendship lessons from her?" Twilight asked. "Uh... Technically, these people taught me about it. Especially him." Sunset Shimmer said, pointing at Gohan. "What did he do?" Twilight asked. "He was being awesome!" Rainbow Dash said. "...Anyway, he's the most merciful person I've ever met. When they made me realize I needed friendship, he was literally the first person to forgive me. Almost fifteen seconds after they defeated me. He can actually just destroy this entire planet in the blink of an eye." Sunset Shimmer said. "Uh... That's true, but not something I'd do." Gohan said. "Isn't it scientifically impossible to destroy a planet on your own?" Twilight asked. "This guy right here defies all logic! You know, with his 4300 kilos of clothing which he wears every single day, and-" "WHAT!?" Twilight interrupted Pinkie Pie. "You're bluffing!" Twilight said. "The maximum a person has ever lifted is just about 400 kilograms!" She said. "Well, clearly not, I'm wearing this everyday." Gohan said. "I'm going to need some proof of this!" Twilight said. "Gohan, give her your shirt." Rainbow Dash said. "Okay." Gohan said, removing his arms and head from the orange shirt, making it stay on but it dropped down low. He then took off his shirt without realizing his torso was exposed. He just left it on the ground. Everyone was looking at him. "Uh... Why are you all staring?" Gohan asked. Rarity cleared her throat. "Ah, well, uh... We see that, uh..." She said. "How does a kid have that kind of upper body!?" Rainbow Dash asked. "It's..." Fluttershy said. She couldn't even finish her sentence. Goten looked to the girls then at Gohan. "You might want to put the orange shirt on, Gohan." He said. Gohan realized. "Oh, crapbaskets, come on you guys!" He said, putting his orange shirt back on and blushing. The girls blushed and giggled. "Why didn't you guys say anything before, come on!" Gohan said. Sunset Shimmer covered her face with her hands and giggled. "The other world's you did the same thing when it just got destroyed, why!?" Gohan asked. "I have a feeling that Gohan is really inept when it comes to attracting girls..." Rarity said. "W-What do you mean...?" Gohan asked. "That's probably something we should discuss about another day." Applejack said. "...Anyway, try picking that shirt up. It's clean, I promise." Gohan said. Twilight attempted to pick up the shirt to no avail. "It's certainly heavy...!" Twilight said, straining to pick it up. "A thousand kilograms is a little much for many. Goten, try picking it up." Gohan said. Goten stood up and walked over to the shirt and picked it up with ease. Just over 1 ton? No problem. Everyone looked in awe. Especially Twilight. "It's a little heavy, but I can take it!" Goten said. "T-That... What... Why!?" Twilight stuttered. "Pass, Goten." Gohan said. Goten tossed the shirt to Gohan. "Okay, now can you please look away?" Gohan asked. "No promises." Pinkie Pie said, turning away. Everyone else turned away. Gohan started to put his shirt back on. Sunset Shimmer couldn't help but take a teensy tiny super duper small peek and look away again. Pinkie Pie giggled. "What's so funny?" Rainbow Dash asked. "It's a secret~!" Pinkie Pie taunted. "Okay, you can look again." Gohan said. And they did just that. "So, are we ready for training?" He asked. *** The teacher, seven pupils and possibly one more pupil were on the empty soccer field. "Okay, we have two new people... If you'd like to participate." Gohan said. "Totally!" Goten said. "I think I'll sit this one out." Twilight said, sitting on the bleachers. "Alright, Goten. We're going to start by running. Come on!" Gohan said, running at a slow pace for the others to catch up. The Humane 6 were running right behind Gohan. Goten? He dashed around the freaking place with lightning speed. Gohan had to stick his hand out to stop Goten in his tracks. "Why don't we slow down a bit? Let them keep up with us, then you can go all out." Gohan said. "Aw! I wanted to go fast!" Goten said. Gohan sighed and smiled. "Fine. Just don't knock into anyone." He said. "Yay!" Goten said, leaping up before running around at full speed again. "Uh... This is really fast for a six year old..." Rainbow Dash said. "You know- He surpassed a lot of people already. I don't know how." Gohan said. "And he's a Super Saiyan..." Applejack said. "Kids these days are learning how to do this stuff backwards. Usually you learn ki before turning Super Saiyan." Gohan said. "That's strange." Sunset Shimmer said. "Yeah." Gohan said. "Come on, girls! We can go faster than this!" Pinkie Pie said, going at a faster speed. She went past Gohan. "Yeah!" Everyone but Fluttershy said. "Oh, uh... I don't think so..." Fluttershy said. "Don't be a wimp, Fluttershy!" Rainbow Dash said. Gohan slowed down to be behind Fluttershy. "Don't listen to that, you can keep up." He said. "I-I can't." Fluttershy said. "Here, I'll help you." Gohan said, lightly pushing Fluttershy as they picked up speed. "A... A Little! Too... Fast!" Fluttershy said. Fluttershy was losing more stamina. "Don't worry, you can push on!" Gohan said. The two managed to run past the other five girls. "Hey! That's cheating!" Rainbow Dash said. "She's pushing her limits, don't worry." Gohan said. "Go-Go...Gohan! I can't!" Fluttershy said in between pants. "Please, you can't give up yet!" Gohan said. "But it's too much!" Fluttershy said in between pants. "I... I can only see through a pinhole..." She said. "You're not dying on me!" Gohan said. Twilight was taking down notes. "Little brother can move over 1,000 mph. Possibly 100,000. Incredible stamina." She was extremely surprised seeing a being like this. "How do they possess such strength and not go insane like I did...?" Twilight muttered. Then she realized. 'Friendship can prevent loneliness and anger, that's for sure.' She thought, writing it down. "Whatcha writing?" Goten asked, startling Twilight. "Ah! W-When did you...?" Twilight asked. "I just got here." Goten said. "Um... I am taking down notes. You can move at extraordinary speeds and Friendship can do a lot." Twilight said. "Okay!" Goten said, jumping away and went back to running. 'This is ridiculous, I must be dreaming. No human alive can move that fast.' Twilight thought. Fluttershy and Gohan actually ran 19 laps before Fluttershy eventually collapsed. The others stopped at 13, and Goten is an unknown number and still going. "Nice job! You did really well!" Gohan said. "Tha.... Than.... T... Bleh.... Thanks you..." Fluttershy managed to say. "No time to chat, you'll lose more energy." Gohan said. "O-Okay!" Fluttershy said a little too nervously. "C-Calm down, you don't need to be nervous on us." Gohan said. Goten finally stopped and tugged on Gohan's shirt. "Can we fight while they rest?" He asked. "I guess." Gohan said. "We're going to spar for just a bit." He said, using his fingers to show 'a bit.' "Okay. Then give us a show!" Rainbow Dash said in between pants. "That would be entertaining." Rarity said. "And Twilight could get more notes!" Goten said. Gohan chuckled. "Yep... Alright, let's do this." He said, jumping ten feet away diagonally. Goten did the same the other way and turned Super Saiyan. Goten jumped at Gohan, throwing barrages of punches and kicks. The two were moving all over the soccer field. 'Interesting... Gohan isn't turning yellow.' Twilight thought, writing: "Gohan > Goten" Gohan kicked Goten in the chest, then Goten smashed his fist into Gohan's cheek, then Gohan blasted Goten, then Goten tripped Gohan and kicked him towards the sky, then Gohan fell back down blocking a punch, and then Goten couldn't hit Gohan anymore. He kept dodging. Gohan eventually blocked a heavy punch with crossed arms and kicked Goten away. Goten jumped with his hands and landed on his feet, instantly dashing towards Gohan again. Gohan was on the defense again. Twilight wrote down notes. "Travel speed of subjects might be much slower compared to actual combat speed." Goten eventually landed a punch on Gohan's cheek, but Gohan maneuvered underneath the airborne Goten and kicked him towards the sky. He tossed up two ki blasts. Goten caught one and blocked the other, making smoke appear. He tried using the smoke to hide his incoming attack but... Yeah, you know why it won't work. Goten came out of the smoke, seemingly about to smash it into Gohan. Gohan crossed his arms above his head in an attempt to block. Goten actually fell in front of Gohan, throwing the blast at Gohan's chest. Gohan was pretty surprised by the attack. "Nice job Go-" He said before Goten kicked him in the face. Gohan grabbed his foot and tossed him to the side. Goten powered up, preventing himself from flying far. "Don't hold back, Gohan! Show me 100% of your power!" Goten said as he landed. "Uh... Are you sure?" Gohan asked. "Yes!" Goten said. "Er... Alright, I guess." Gohan said. Gohan took a deep breath and powered up with a yellow aura. He went full power in his base form. "I'm in full control now." He said. "I'm gonna attack now!" Goten said. "Take all the time you need." Gohan said with a smirk. Goten ran up to Gohan and punched him in the chest. And Gohan just did not flinch. [(5,200,000,000 <<<<< 53,500,000,000) Current Power Levels) Everyone was really surprised. "Is Gohan really that much stronger than a regular Super Saiyan...?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "I don't understand how Gohan could tank a blow like that." Rainbow Dash said. "Wow! You're super strong!" Goten said. Gohan smiled. "Thanks." He said. Goten kept trying with multiple punches, but nothing happened. Eventually Gohan grabbed a fist and turned to the girls. "Maybe we should cut this short. They've rested up enough." He said, letting go. "Okay!" Goten said, powering down. "Alright! Push-ups, sit-ups and plenty of juice!" Gohan called. The girls instantly stood up then got on the ground to start with push-ups, and then sit-ups. Gohan walked Goten to the students. "Goten, do as many push-ups as you can, then do as many sit-ups, okay?" Gohan asked. Goten nodded. "Okay!" He said, doing just that. Gohan got on the ground and began his one arm push-ups. Eventually it shifted to sit-ups. And Applejack brought a case of fizzy apple cider. And then they were finally learning ki. "Hey Twilight! You might want to learn this!" Gohan yelled. Twilight walked over to Gohan and sat down like the others. "Okay... Time to teach you ki and how to fly. I know your anxious to get started, so let's just dive right in. So, we need to learn energy control. Which... Y'know, isn't tough once you get the hang of it." Gohan said. "What about flying fast?" Rainbow Dash asked. "You're gonna have to get used to that. That actually takes time." Gohan said. "Ki and energy control? What do they mean?" Twilight asked. "Well, ki is life energy. Everyone has it, but not everyone knows how to use it. That's where energy control comes in. We just need to find it in each of us. Except for Rainbow, I gave her the ability for Hearth's Warming." Gohan said. "Heck yeah!" Rainbow Dash said, throwing a weak blast (technically her strongest) into the sky. "Alright, so everyone, get into a comfortable sitting position, like this." Gohan said, sitting down and crossing his legs. So, everyone, including Twilight did just that. "Now, each of you, that means you too, Goten, listen. I'll go first. Quiet your mind and relax." Gohan said. "When you're ready, slowly bring out your energy from within." He said. He brought his hands close together and very, very slowly made a ball of yellow ki appear. Twilight was very intrigued and leaned forward to get a closer look. Perhaps a bit too far... Her face was right in front of the ki. "We want to see, Twilight." Sunset Shimmer said. "S-Sorry!" Twilight said, going back. "It's pretty intriguing for someone looking at it firsthand." Gohan said, making the ball disappear. "Now, the rest of you, try it." Gohan said. Gohan looked at the students who were trying. Goten instantly got it. "Hey look! I did it!" He said, throwing the yellow ball at Gohan. Gohan let it hit him in the face. "Nice job, Goten. Now, let's give them a chance." He said. Sunset Shimmer had a red spark in between her hands. "There you go. Almost there." Gohan said. The spark was getting bigger, and Sunset concentrated as hard as she could. Then, she got the red ki blast. It was fairly weak, but it still worked. "Alright! I did it!" Sunset Shimmer cheered. "You're a natural at this! I guess a magic user would be a quick learner with this stuff. Good job, Sunset." Gohan said. Sunset Shimmer couldn't hold the ki anymore, and it disappeared. "Woah... This is hard." Sunset Shimmer said. "You'll get used to it eventually." Gohan said. Pinkie Pie was struggling the most. She was focusing way too hard. "Pinkie, instead of just focusing, you have to relax then focus the energy out." Gohan said. "Huh? Relax then focus?" Pinkie Pie asked. Gohan nodded. Applejack just did it, getting a yellow ki blast. "Hey! I got it!" She said. "Nice job. How does it feel?" Gohan asked. "It hurts just to keep it for so long." Applejack said. "Maybe you should let it go." Gohan said. Applejack let loose, accidentally setting the ki blast to fly into the skies. "Uh..." Applejack said. "Don't worry about it. It won't harm anything." Gohan said. Fluttershy managed to get her pink ki out. She smiled brightly once she got it. "Nice job, Fluttershy." Gohan said. "R-Really?" Fluttershy asked, accidentally letting it loose and hitting Gohan in the face. "Oh my goodness, I'm so sorry!" She instantly said. The smoke died down. "Don't worry, I'm not dead." Gohan said. "Are you hurt?" Fluttershy asked. "Definitely not." Gohan said. "Yeah Fluttershy, he's taken on worse hits." Rainbow Dash said. "Like a broken arm and neck." Gohan said. "Like a broken- What?" Rainbow Dash asked. "How are you not paralyzed!? Or dead!?" Twilight asked. "The same way you're still alive. Senzu beans." Gohan said. "Oh... I still don't understand how that bean works..." Twilight said. "Trust me, it's just best not to look into it." Gohan said. Rarity managed to get a blue ki. "Oh my." She said. "There you go!" Gohan said. "Well, this is certainly amazing!" Rarity said. She let it disappear. "Keep doing it and get the hang of it." Gohan said. Pinkie Pie finally managed to get a pink ki. "Whoopie! I did it!" She cheered, accidentally making dozens of them fly sporadically. Luckily, none of them hit the girls but a lot of them hit Gohan. Pinkie Pie stopped it. "Oops." She said. "Well, you certainly possess a lot of ki..." Gohan said, wiping his face. "So, Twilight, do you want to give it a shot?" He asked. "M-Me? I want to study this, not use it!" Twilight said. "The only way you'll know firsthand is if you actually learn it yourself. I promise, you won't die." Gohan said. "Uh..." Twilight said. "I guess it'll be too hard considering your strength... Or lack of strength. We've been practicing for a few months for this to work for them this easily." Gohan said. "So... She's not doing it?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "If she really doesn't want to. In fact, it's up to her if she even wants to join this thing." Gohan said. "Wait! I'll try." Twilight said. "Okay." Gohan said. Twilight relaxed... She cleared her mind then tried to focus her ki. She strained incredibly hard. You could see her sweating already. "N-Now Twilight, you don't have to hurt your-" Gohan said before he saw the tiniest purple spark of ki. "She's actually doing it." Fluttershy said. Twilight was burning up and turning red. "Twilight, you might wanna slow down." Pinkie Pie said. Twilight managed to create a minor ki blast... She couldn't take it anymore so she held it out (you know, kinda like Vegeta's Final Flash) and let it loose. It hit Gohan's shirt, putting a tiny hole in the orange one. "Well... That's just great." Gohan said. "I'm so sorry!" Twilight said. "No no, it's fine. I have a ton of these at home... Are you okay? You're a little burned out." Gohan said. "I'm... I'm fine. I'm surprised anyone can even do a tiny blast. Let alone what you're probably capable of." Twilight said. "Why doesn't he show us a powerful blast?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Yeah, that'd be cool!" Goten said. "Yeah, show us the Kamehameha." Sunset Shimmer said. "Yeah! Or the Demon Flash!" Pinkie Pie said. "Yeah, the- What?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "Masenko means Demon Flash or Demon Glint." Gohan said. "How did you...?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "I do things other than partying, you know!" Pinkie Pie said. "Well... Can you demonstrate?" Twilight asked. "I guess." Gohan said, standing up. He cupped his hands together. "Kamehame..." He said, making the ball appear in between is hands. He decided it make it incredibly big, so he extended his hands and made the blast as big as it possibly could. "HA!" Gohan exclaimed, blasting the beam into the sky. It became larger as it went towards the sky. Everyone looked in awe. But Twilight was the most surprised. The blast caught the attention of everyone nearby, but nobody checked. The blast died down. Gohan looked to his students and they were pretty amazed. "It never gets old." Rainbow Dash said. Twilight's glasses were falling off, and she fixed them. "H-How does it sustain it's form!?" Twilight asked. "I don't know. Perhaps it's the power it has that keeps it going for so long. It won't destroy a planet in 4000 years or something." Gohan said. "That sounds vaguely specific." Twilight said. "Well, when I or the people I knew used it at full power, we wondered what happens when it just blasts out into space. If it sustains its form for so long, it's all a matter of if it hits anything. Like I said, it'll probably take thousands of years until it hits something in the vastness of space. If it does... Probably destroy a planet, a star, maybe even an entire solar system." Gohan said. "That's impossible." Twilight said. Gohan turned to Twilight and smirked. "Do you want to test that theory?" He asked, turning Super Saiyan. "Uh... Actually, on second thought, I believe you. I want to stay here." Twilight said. Gohan reverted back to base form. "I wouldn't have done it anyway, I can't breathe in space." He said. "It's impossible for anyone to breathe in space. It's a vacuum." Twilight said. "Ugh! Your egghead talk is BORING!" Rainbow Dash said. Gohan chuckled. "It's pretty important. Science is the exact reason why you exist, Rainbow." He said. "Yeah, I knew that. But I don't want to learn about that stuff, it's too boring." Rainbow Dash said. "I personally find it amusing." Twilight said. "I couldn't figure that one out." Rainbow Dash said sarcastically. "Alright, back to work, we need to work on energy control. You too, Rainbow, you need to learn how to change the strength of the blast." Gohan said. "Okay, we're ready!" Everyone said. "Once that's covered, we can finally move on to flying! Though that may take a few sessions... Including this." Gohan said. Everyone "Aw!"ed. "I'm sorry! I hope you can master it quickly..." Gohan said. "Well, we can try! We can't blame you for teaching us." Sunset Shimmer said, standing up. "Yeah! We can do it!" Pinkie Pie said. Everyone cheered before trying to master ki again. Goten was spot on, he got into it quickly. The others... Not so much. Goten was blasting Gohan with full force. Gohan destroyed all of them. "Nice job, Goten! Now, try using both strong and weak blasts." He said. Goten was an expert in an instant. "Nice! You're a natural, Goten!" Gohan said. "Yay!" Goten said. "Wait. Let me try..." He added. "Try wha- Oh!" Gohan said and Goten cupped his hands together. "Kamehameha!" Goten yelled, actually firing a small, yet strong Kamehameha wave. Everyone looked in awe as Goten seemingly got it in an instant. "Oh... My... Gosh..." Gohan said. "The kid's a natural! I'll be!" Applejack said. "That was so awesome! I wish I could do that." Rainbow Dash said. "W-Well, you're capable of doing it too, you just need proper energy control..." Gohan said. "...But Goten is a natural! I guess he gets it from our dad..." He added. "Yay! I can do it! Yay!" Goten cheered as he ran in circles and did flips. The girls looked and giggled. Gohan chuckled. Then the girls went back into trying again. Twilight was doing the worst, she could only muster a few sparks of ki, barely forming a purple ki blast. Fluttershy was only second worst, only making a powerful, or if you can call it powerful, but heavily strained pink ki blast. Rarity and Applejack were doing alright. Making a few blue and yellow ki blasts respectively. Sunset Shimmer was going good, making a good amount of orange ki blasts. Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie were doing the best, making plenty of yellow and pink ki blasts respectively. That doesn't mean they weren't winded so easily. They still struggled to keep it under control, too. Either they were too powerful or too weak. Twilight, it was just... Bleh. This went on for a few hours. *** Eventually, it was time to go home. Everyone was in front of the portal. "I still can't believe we can't fly yet!" Rainbow Dash said. "It does sound a tad bit absurd..." Rarity said. "You guys can't control it. Especially Pinkie, it's just too much for her." Gohan said. "I can make it fly everywhere!" Pinkie Pie said. "But each of those blasts are divided in power, especially when they're that numerous. Each one's power would be divided about 50." Gohan said. "Wow. That's some impressive math." Twilight said. "As my first teacher said... 'NEEERRD!'" Gohan said. "Really?" Fluttershy asked. "Yeah, he yelled that at me. I lost count." Gohan said. "That sounds mean." Sunset Shimmer said. "Well, he wasn't the easiest teacher. He was all about discipline." Gohan said. "He really made a man out of me even though I was only four." He added. "It's like you grew up at a young age, what the heck!?" Pinkie Pie asked. "Gohan's cool that way!" Goten said. "Well... I don't know about cool, but... Maybe subpar...?" Gohan asked. "Don't be an idiot! You're like, 100 times awesomer than me!" Rainbow Dash said. "Yeah, don't think you're lesser than you already are. It's like you're the complete opposite of a narcissist." Sunset Shimmer said. "Well, that about wraps it up. Goten and I will be heading on home. Try to practice ki if you'd like." Gohan said. "Maybe. When can we fly?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Once you get energy control." Gohan said. "Maybe one or two more sessions." He said. "Ugh." Rainbow Dash said. "Chin up, Rainbow." Applejack said. "I'll try to be back in at least two days... Or a week? I dunno. Maybe with Goten again." Gohan said. "Cool!" Goten said. "Well, see ya later!" Pinkie Pie said. "Bye!" Everyone else said. Gohan and Goten waved before they entered the portal again. 'Really, Sunset, why aren't you going to tell him yet?' Sunset Shimmer thought. *** Gohan and Goten finally returned to Equestria after a few days. Twilight was gleefully waiting for them. "So...!?" Twilight asked very excitedly. "We had a fun time at the Friendship Games." Gohan said. "Yeah! Gohan kicked everybody's butts!" Goten said. "Well... Great! Anything else...?" Twilight asked. "Uh... You met your doppelgänger. Uh... Goten mastered energy control in an instant." Gohan said. "Um... Anything related to Sunset Shimmer?" Twilight asked. "Not that I know of." Gohan said. "Well... Okay then. I need you here in private for a moment." Twilight said, trotting into another room. "Goten, stay here for a moment." Gohan said, walking into the room. He saw exactly what he felt, Starlight Glimmer. A very nervous one at that. "Um... Hi!" She said. "Hello, Starlight." Gohan said. "Starlight's my student now." Twilight said. "Great!" Gohan said, much to Starlight's surprise. "I... Huh?" Starlight asked. "Glad to have you on our side." Gohan said, gesturing for a hand/hoofshake. "A-Aren't you angry with me?" Starlight asked. "Uh... You did something bad before, but you've changed. So let's shake! Or hug, I don't care. You're my friend now." Gohan said. Starlight was really confused and surprised. "Uh... I expected you to want to kill me or something." She said. "What? No way, I could've killed you when you ran away." Gohan said. "Oh... Uh..." Starlight said. "Look, just" Gohan said, hugging Starlight. "accept my friendship now, even though it seems completely random." He said. "This is what I meant by he's a different kind of fellow." Twilight said. "T-Thank you..." Starlight said. *** Gohan and Goten returned to the home to find... An actual house. Like, an actual house that can house people and ponies. "Gohan? What happened to the old house?" Goten asked. "I'm... Not sure." Gohan said. Princess Celestia appeared behind them. "Hello, Princess." Gohan said. "Hello, Gohan. Goten. I'm pleased to inform you that these homes are yours. Your belongings are placed inside." Celestia said. "No way!" Gohan said. "It will sustain you and Goten." Celestia said. "Thank you so much!" Gohan and Goten said. "It is not a problem. I am deeply grateful for your service to Equestria, and I hope this can repay some of the debt we owe to you." Celestia said, bowing. "Repay me? This is more than just repaying me, I'd have to repay you at this rate!" Gohan said. Celestia giggled. "Anyway, I must lower the Sun soon. Please, have a wonderful evening." She said, teleporting away. "She's very nice." Goten said. "You have no idea. Now, let's see the inside of the house!" Gohan said. The house was just like the house Goku and Chi Chi had. What does Sunset really want to tell Gohan? Will they learn to fly soon? Are any of you actually confused as to what Sunset really wants to say? Find out next time, on Dragon Ball GT! Wait, no. I meant AF. No, Absalon. Wait, no, actually it's-
The CrystallingFive of the Mane 6 excluding Twilight, Goten and Gohan were in the throne room. "Well, I think we should leave ASAP. I don't wanna miss the crystalling!" Rainbow Dash said. Then Starlight came into the room. "But, um, should we wait for an invitation?" Fluttershy asked. "Frankly, I'm not exactly clear on the customs and traditions of the Crystal Empire. Especially when it comes to a crystalling." Applejack said. "What's a crystalling?" Both Goten and Starlight asked. "W-Well, that's just it, darling. Princess Cadence and Shining Armor's baby is due any day and we're still not sure. The Crystal Empire has been gone for a thousand years, and a lot of their customs are a bit murky." Rarity said. "We know it's got something to do with the new baby." Applejack said. "And a party!" Pinkie Pie chimed in. "And the Crystal Heart." Fluttershy said. "And a party!" Pinkie Pie said, jumping in front of Fluttershy. "And some kind of cool energy. Well, y'know, other than Gohan's." Rainbow Dash said. "Aaaaaaaaaaaaand...." Pinkie Pie said, standing on her hind legs on the table. "A PARTY!" She said, letting confetti fly everywhere. "Who's Princess Cadence and Shining Armor?" Goten asked. "Princess Cadence is another princess in Equestria. She's the Princess of Love. Shining Armor is her husband Twilight's brother." Gohan said. "Cool!" Goten said. "But why are we so worried again? You guys do know we can technically go from here to the Crystal Empire in an instant." Gohan said. "How does that work?" Starlight asked. "Let me show you." Gohan said, standing up and placing a hand on Starlight's neck. He put his fingers to his forehead. They instantly vanished. *** They were in the Dragon Lands in an instant. "W-Wha...!?" Starlight asked. Then a dragon noticed the two and breathed fire towards them. Starlight screamed and took cover. Gohan just held his hand out and blocked it with his ki. "Calm down, nothing will harm you." Gohan said. Starlight stopped the screaming as she saw Gohan just casually stop fire with his hand. "I'll take you back now." Gohan said as the fire died down. He and Starlight vanished again. *** "Why does he just warp in and out of reality like that...?" Applejack asked. "That sounds like something Pinkie would do, and it's hard to understand, just like whatever the crystalling is." Rainbow Dash said. The two instantly appeared again. "W-What just happened?" Starlight asked. "We just went to the Dragon Lands." Gohan said. "But that's on the other side of Equestria!" Starlight said. "And I can move faster than light without Instant Transmission." Gohan said. "I- How...?" Starlight said. "Simple. I have a lot of ki, train at over a thousand times normal gravity and still manage move around without literally crapping out my spine and I can go Super Saiyan." Gohan said. "I don't understand how any of that works." Starlight said. "It's not that hard to understand." Spike said, coming into the room with a paper. "You mean you guys understand his powers?" Starlight asked. "Oh heavens no. I'm talking about the Crystal Empire's customs. Most of them aren't hard to understand. Like how I'm a big hero there, for example." Spike said, unveiling the picture of him. He even smirked. Rainbow Dash smirked back, Starlight, Pinkie and Applejack were unamused, Rarity was trying not to laugh, Fluttershy tried seeming nice about it, Goten was actually wanting to know how he was a hero and Gohan couldn't help but smile. Spike rolled up the paper in embarrassment. "...Plus I've had to do a ton of research with Twilight on crystallings." He said. Spike pulled out a vase with art on it. "Whenever a baby is born in the Crystal Empire, the parents bring it before the Crystal Heart. They get the purest shard of crystal they can find, and a crystaller to present the baby to everypony who comes! Then they all share the light and joy they feel, feeding it so that it joins with the Crystal Heart, and increases it's power. And this is going to be a royal crystalling, so pretty much everyone in the Crystal Empire is coming. And that hasn't happened in a millennia!" Spike said, putting the case away. "What do you mean increases the Crystal Heart's power?" Starlight asked. "I'm not very sure... I guess to give it magic to protect the Crystal Empire, I guess." Spike said. "Protect the Crystal Empire?" Starlight asked. "Let me explain. The Crystal Heart is powered by the denizens of the Crystal Empire through love and joy. The more love and joy there is, the more power it gains to protect the Crystal Empire from all kinds of evil and natrural occurances. It keeps the Frozen North from invading and covering it in snow. It also protected it from King Sombra after he tried reclaiming the Crystal Heart. It's pretty powerful. It's like me giving Goten a chunk of my power. The more ki he can store, the more powerful he gets." Gohan said. "Wow! The Crystal Empire sounds like fun!" Goten said. "Well, I guess you'll be a goduncle or something like that." Gohan said. *** The nine were on a train to the Crystal Empire. Fluttershy and Rarity sat together, Gohan and Goten sat together, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie and Applejack had their own seats, and Twilight and Starlight sat together. Starlight was dreading going to the Crystal Empire. Her first friendship lesson was reuniting with an old friend. And considering her... past 'blunders,' he might not want to talk to her again. His name was Sunburst. "Was there any reason not to let me use Instant Transmission to get us there in an instant?" Gohan asked. "Yeah, Twilight,-" Rainbow Dash said before yawning. "this is a lot more boring than exciting!" She said. "I'd like to build up anticipation about this! I'm an aunt!" Twilight said. "And I'm a godfather. Seriously, this is just as-" Gohan said before Twilight stared at him with a mean face. "-Almost as,-" Then she smiled again. "-excited for this." He finished. "Well, shoot, we're all pretty excited 'bout this!" Applejack said. She had something covered in a tarp and uncovered it to reveal a tiny crib for the new baby. "Made from genuine Sweet Apple Acres apple trees. We make 'em for all the Apples, and anypony related to Twilight is practically family." Applejack said. Twilight smiled at her. "Well, it's okay... But it's no Cloudsdale mobile! Bam!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed, pulling out a Cloudsdale mobile. "OOH! Pretty!" Pinkie Pie said, touching it and making one of the strings fall off. "Well, a mobile is nice... As long as you have something to lay in to look at it." Applejack said. "And a fetching blanket to keep you warm." Rarity said, replacing the apple blanket with her own. "I'm sure Shining Armor Princess Cadence will love all our gifts. But I think they're more happy that we're attending the baby's crystalling." Twilight said. "OOH! OOH! I can't wait to see all the light and love that make the Crystal Heart sparkly and shiny!" Pinkie yelled while hopping. "Actually, Pinkie, the Crystal Heart is an ancient relic. Without it's magic, the Crystal Empire would be lost to the Frozen North." Twilight said. "Wow, this Crystalling sounds pretty important. I'd understand if you wanted to... you know... wait to do a different friendship lesson when we get back." Starlight said. "Are you kidding? This trip is perfect! Not only do I get to see the baby and take part in the ceremony that helps maintain the magic of the Crystal Empire, but I'm starting my new pupil off with the most amazing friendship lesson ever! I can't wait!" Twilight said, hugging Starlight very closely. Starlight pushed her away slowly. "Right... Me neither." She lied. Spike gestured for her to tell Twilight the truth. "Actually, Twilight, I am a little worried about meeting Sunburst." Starlight said. "Oh trust me, I know what it's like to see old friends. But I'll be right there to help things along." Twilight said. She pulled out a long scroll. "I've broken down the process to a few easy steps to ensure this reunion goes off without a hitch!" She said. The scroll was like half the length of the damn train. Starlight chuckled nervously. "Uh... Twilight? I think your 'few easy steps' are just overboard by... Oh, not a lot just a ton." Gohan said. "Yeah that seems more like a lot more than a few!" Goten said. *** Eventually the group got to the train station, where Shining Armor was waiting. The door opened. Pinkie hopped out, Rainbow Dash flew out, everyone just stepped out. "Step 1, get to Starburst's house and get you two started on the right hoof. Step 2, get to the castle with enough time to visit the ba-" Twilight said before she bumped into a really, really screwed up Shining Armor. "Shining Armor!" She said. "Twi-light!" He managed to say, and the two hugged. "I didn't know you were meeting us!" Twilight said. "Of course I am! It's me! Here I am, why wouldn't I meet my sister! Don't we have met before...?" Shining Armor said. "You alright?" Twilight asked. "Never better! Being a father is amazing and wonderful and amazing and confusing and amazing! But, surprising too! Not that you'd know, you wouldn't know, I know, you know?" Shining Armor said. Everyone just looked at him funny. "Uh... Shining Armor?" Gohan asked as he stepped out. "You're probably gonna need this. You look terrible." He said, tossing a senzu bean at Shining Armor. "Thanks... I'm actually full of energy now!" Shining Armor said. "Good. The baby must be really running you ragged." Gohan said. Goten stepped out of the train. "Yeah, I'm a little...... Uh... D-Did you have a baby too?" Shining Armor asked. "No, he's my brother." Gohan said. "B-Brother!?" Shining Armor asked. "It came as a surprise to us too." Twilight said. "Hello sir. My name's Goten." Goten said. "Hello Goten. I'm Shining Armor. This is a big surprise... I'm sure Cadence will be surprised to see you." Shining Armor said. "But anyway, I need a break, and so does Cadence." Shining Armor said. "Oh, of course! I don't know what I was thinking... You two need all kinds of help. Sorry Starlight, maybe combining your first lesson with this visit wasn't such a good idea." Twilight said. "Oh! Uh... Don't be ridiculous! You're an aunt now! That's more important than some friendship lesson..." Starlight said. "I just wish there was a way to do both..." Twilight said. "Hm... Maybe there is." Spike said. "You've already done the work for Starlight's lesson with this list. All we have to do is follow it!" He said. Starlight facehoofed. "Spike, you're a genius!" Twilight said. "Yeah!... Genius." Starlight said. "Then it's settled! Shining Armor and I will be headed towards the the castle, and you and Spike can go to Sunburst's." Twilight said. "Aye aye, princess!" Spike said, saluting and walking away. "U-uh-huh!" Starlight said so nervously. "Why are you so scared?" Gohan asked. "Huh?" Starlight asked. "I can genuinely feel fear from you. What's going on?" He asked. "Oh, it's nothing. Just a bit nervous about my first friendship lesson!" Starlight said. "Seriously, I can tell a lie just by your ki. Should I come with you or something?" Gohan asked. "That can work." Starlight said. "Okay, then you three, head to Sunburst's!" Twilight said. "Alright. Take care of Goten for me, alright?" Gohan asked. "Not another baby!" Shining Armor said. "I'm 6 and I can take care of myself!" Goten said, 'like a man!' "Don't worry, we'll take very good care of Goten." Fluttershy said, petting Goten. *** The three were walking around the Crystal Empire. "So, set me up to speed. Why exactly are you so worried that you're lying?" Gohan asked. "Sunburst is an old friend of mine. In short, I don't think he'd accept me and my friendship after all I've done." Starlight said. "Oh, I see. I understand completely." Gohan said. "How would you know?" Starlight asked. Gohan sighed. "I made a mistake too. It wasn't evil or anything, I just let it happen. Anyway, my entire family just disowned me and denounced me. Almost every friend of mine turned on me and tried murdering me. And that's why I'm here." He said. "W-What!?" Starlight asked. "You'll be fine. I don't come from a world where friendship is magic. I come from a world full of cyborgs and bio-cyborgs and aliens and a dog as president." Gohan said. "Wait, was that last one a joke?" Spike asked. "No, I'm actually serious." Gohan said. Starlight still wasn't ready, so she tried buying time. "What did you do that was so wrong?" She asked. "Well, I technically caused my father's second death." Gohan said. "Y-You...Huh?" Starlight asked. "Could you give me a little bit more detail?" She asked. "I was battling a new enemy too strong for any of us. Us being me, my dad and some others. But then a new power awakened in me. I surpassed the enemy. I was really stupid, and I toyed with him. He thought to self destruct, destroying the planet when he blew up. If I blasted him or anything, bye bye home. So my dad sacrificed himself, taking him to another planet with him, dying a warrior's death. He forgave me, but not everyone else agreed." Gohan said. "W-When were you going to tell me about this...?" Starlight asked. "When you asked. If you wanted to know why I'm here now, I used magical wish granting balls to escape." Gohan said. "Well... I'm surprised." Starlight said. "Why do you think I forgave you instantly?" Gohan asked. "Huh?" Starlight asked. "My father forgave me. Everyone here forgave me. Some of my worst enemies who literally tried to kill me was forgiven by my father. He became my ally and helped protect me from my friends and family turned enemies. I try following his ways by even wearing his gi." Gohan said, patting his gi. "Wow... That's... Pretty honorable." Starlight said. "I just want to be like my dad and get stronger, but I also want to follow my dream of being a scholar." Gohan said. "That's just confusing." Starlight said. "Yeah, he's a real brainiac. Just like Twilight." Spike said. Starlight still wanted to buy time. She noticed the statue of Spike... "Oh, wait! Is that you, Spike?" Starlight asked, pointing at the statue. "Huh? Yep, it sure is! Now, according to the list, Sunburst's location is-" "Why is it in the Crystal Empire?" Starlight interrupted. Then another pony of the Crystal Empire came up to her. "Because Spike the brave and glorious saved all of us from King Sombra!" She said. And another mare ran up to her. "And again during the Equestria Games!" She said. "Really?" Starlight asked. "Really." A stallion said. "Big fan." He said to Spike, shaking his hands with his hoof. "Um, when were you going to tell me about this?" Starlight asked. "Uh... It's no big deal." Spike said. "IT MOST CERTAINLY IS!" Many Crystal Ponies said. "That's it! We're not going anywhere until I get the whole story!" Starlight said, pulling up a chair for Spike and some popcorn. Crystal Ponies began gathering around him. "Okay, nice try, Starlight, but-" Gohan said, putting his hand on Starlight and Spike. They instantly vanished, shocking the ponies around. *** They instantly appeared in front of Sunburst's house. "W-What just happened?" Starlight asked. "Oh, I just teleported us to Sunburst's. Now go to that door and talk to him again. If he doesn't give you approval, I'll chime in, okay?" Gohan asked. "B-But..." Starlight said. "You need to do this now." Gohan said. Starlight gulped. "If not, I'll destroy the sun." Gohan lied. He ain't gon destroy that there sun. "W-What!?" Starlight asked. "I can destroy solar systems at this point. Let's hurry along now." Gohan said. Starlight slowly walked up to Sunburst's door and slowly knocked on it. After some painful waiting, the door creaked open. "Sunburst?" Starlight asked. "Yes?" Sunburst asked from inside. "What can I do for you?" He asked. "It... It's me, Starlight. We used to be friends." Starlight said. "Uh... Hm... Oh, uh, yes! Uh? Starlight! Yes, oh, uh, it's been such a long time! What uh, what have you been up to?" Sunburst asked. "Oh, me? I uh, y'know, some of this... Some of that different stuff... Um, right now, I'm sort of Twilight Sparkle's new pupil." Starlight said. "The Princess of Friendship!?" Sunburst asked. Starlight chuckled nervously. "Yeah! That's actually kind of why I'm here. I mean, I know you're probably very busy..." She said. "What do you mean?" Sunburst asked. "Well, I figured after magic school you'd go on to do important wizard work and..." Starlight said. "Well, no. I mean yes! Yes, that's me! I mean, yep! Important wizard! Really busy with lots of uh, wizard of stuff!" Sunburst said nervously. It was awkward. "Right! Well, good to see you." He said, closing the door. "Ugh... Gohan, I'll take it from here." Spike said. "You sure she doesn't need me to make sure she won't die from the moon crashing into her?" Gohan joked. "The Moon can crash into me!?" Starlight asked. "I mean, I can try." Gohan said. "DON'T TRY!" The two yelled. "Okay, okay. Are you sure you can get Starlight to actually get that guy to cough up the truth?" Gohan asked. "Truth?" Spike asked. "What, you couldn't notice his weird nervousness and him denying that he was a wizard?" Gohan asked. The two shook their heads. "But this list here'll do it!" Spike said. "Okay, then I'm off to see my goddaughter." Gohan said, teleporting away. *** The ponies inside the castle to meet the pony baby. "Before we go in, I should probably tell you seeing the baby might be a bit of a shock." Shining Armor said. Then Gohan appeared out of nowhere. "Hey! Did you guys see the baby yet?" He asked. "Uh, not yet. We're about to." Twilight said. Goten tackle hugged Gohan. "Hey sport!" Gohan said. "Even though it's only been about ten minutes." He said. "I still missed you!" Goten said. "But Gohan, the baby might be a surprise to you." Shining Armor said. "Why?" Gohan asked. "It shouldn't be a surprise," Twilight said, opening the doors. "I've met babies before! I expect meeting this one won't be any different!" She said. Cadence was in the room along with Celestia and Luna. "Twilight! It's good to... Who's that?" Cadence asked drowsily. "Hey Cadence. This is my brother Goten. This is the Princess of Love, Cadence." Gohan said. "Nice to meet you, princess." Goten said. "It's a pleasure to you too." Cadence said. "I heard you were tired." Gohan said, tossing a senzu bean over to her. "Oh... Thank you... and Now I feel incredible!" Cadence said. "Those beans are surely a miracle." Celestia said. The baby was in it's cradle. Everyone looked inside the cradle at the cute little unicorn baby! That is until it showed off it's wings, it's an alicorn. Everyone but the Saiyans were shocked. The baby made her baby noises. "Of course I could be wrong." Twilight said. "About what? It's such a cute little alicorn baby!" Gohan said. The baby sucked on her hoof. "But I thought alicorn wings had to be earned through some kind of worthy deed!" Rarity said. "Wait, really? Since that's not the case, don't you think the odds of it actually happening were just so slim until now?" Gohan asked. "The birth of an alicorn is something Equestria has never seen!" Celestia said. "It is beyond even our understanding." Luna said. "That's not very reassuring..." Fluttershy said. "That doesn't matter, it's still a really cute and powerful baby!" Gohan said, reaching into the cradle and holding the baby. The baby was laughing and giggling. "Aw... She's so cute. Hey! It's me! Your Godfather Gohan!" Gohan said, making a funny face. The baby laughed more. Everyone thought it was cute... Until the baby sneezed. She unleashed a fucking Broly blast on Gohan's face. His face was completely black as a result. "I was right about powerful, too. I actually felt that." Gohan said. The baby yawned and sucked her hoof again. She hurt herself doing that, so Gohan used his finger to pacify her. "This is adorable." Gohan said. "It appears her magic is more power than that of a newborn unicorn." Celestia said. "Yep. It's because she's an alicorn." Gohan said, wiping his face clean. "And she's a hybrid like me and Goten, and hybrids have huge potential." He added. "Crowds have already started to gather." Luna said. Pinkie Pie blew a balloon up and floated on the air. "This crystalling is gonna be some party!" She said, and the balloon popped. "Do you think we should call it off?" Cadence asked. "Um, we've all faced a lot worse than baby magic." Rainbow Dash said. "I can imagine cancelling such a beautiful and important ceremony over something so potentially adorable!" Rarity said. "Yep!" Everyone else agreed. "In light of the little one's abilities, this crystalling might be more important than ever." Celestia said. "Perhaps you should address your subjects about that." She added. Cadence nodded, and kissed the little baby on the forehead before trotting away. The baby stopped sucking and reached for it's mother in vain. The princesses were away now. Gohan put the baby back in it's crib. Now she reached for Gohan in vain. Then Pinkie Pie started playing with her. "Big brother, do you have everything you need for the ceremony?" Twilight asked. "Huh...? Oh no! I still have to interview the honor guards, choose the purity crystal and pick a crystaller!" Shining Armor said, stressing out. "Okay, take it easy, Pinkie, Gohan and I can stay here and keep an eye on the baby!" Twilight said. The baby was climbing Pinkie's face and having fun. "And we'll all help you with everythin' else." Applejack said. The others nodded. "Alright... Thanks." Shining Armor said. *** He was not ready in time, that piz- I mean, nothing. "Dearest citizens, I am sure you are all just as thrilled and ready for this crystalling as myself and Shining Armor." Cadence said tiredly but loudly. The ponies cheered. Shining Armor was stressing out. "I'm not ready!" He said. "Take it easy!" Rainbow Dash said, pulling out two helmets. "Just pick whoever looks the most like honor guard material." She said. "Right!... Right." Shining Armor said, using his magic to grab the helmets. He put them on two guards backwards. Yeah, that went well. "I'm sorry guys, fatherhood is way more stressful than I thought." He said. "I can only imagine." Fluttershy said sympathetically. "Now, I know choosing the Crystal of Purity is a very, very important decision. So, I have gone trough the trouble of arranging them in order from incredibly pure to outrageously pure!" Rarity said, pulling out a chest of five crystals. "Um, Rarity? Don't they all kind of look the same?" Fluttershy asked. "Oh, well, to the untrained eye, perhaps. What do you think, Shining Armor?" Rarity asked. Shining Armor was stressing looking at all of them. "I-I DON'T KNOW!" He shouted, cowering behind his hooves. "I hope Gohan, Twilight and Pinkie are having better luck with the baby!" Rarity whispered to Fluttershy. *** Speaking of which, the baby was... I guess fine. She was trying to fly, but Gohan held her so she wouldn't go far. And she was firing magic so he had Goten fire ki at all of the magic. She was having fun, at least. "This is good target training." Gohan said. "I know!" Goten said, blasting another blast. "But this baby is really out of control." Gohan said. "No kidding!" Twilight said, hiding behind a fort of books. "Wait, we need to get her to the crystalling." Gohan said. *** Shining Armor was taking deep breaths as Rarity brushed his mane. They were beside the Crystal Heart. The three princesses came too. "Okay, I chose the honor guard, the purity crystal, and a crystaller. So all we need is... Hm..." Shining Armor said. "The baby?" Cadence asked. Shining Armor was stressed out 100%. "We're here!" Gohan said. He was still holding the baby up as it flew. "She's a pretty strong flier." He said. Cadence took the baby with her magic, separating the two. And the baby did not want that. Uh oh. She looked as if she wanted to cry. She DID cry. Her cry was so loud... That the Crystal Heart shattered into a million pieces! The baby let herself fall into Cadence's hoof, and calmed down. "...I'm guessin' that's gonna make it harder to do the Crystalling..." Applejack said. "It's worse than that, without the Heart, the Crystal Empire is about to be buried under a mountain of ice and snow!" Twilight said, opening a curtain. Storms were coming in. "Again!?" Gohan asked, powering up and creating a forcefield around the Crystal Empire. "Wait, what?" Celestia asked. "This is the second time. Is there some sort of spell to fix the Crystal Heart?" Gohan asked. "Possibly. The library here is just as extensive as Canterlot's. There's a good chance we can find something there." Cadence said. The baby was about to sneeze again. "Good! I can hold this for much longer this time, tha- OW!" Gohan said before a powerful magic blast hit his lower back. Something popped out of his back. Or right above his bum. A tail. "Jeez, I have to raise my power level for this...?" Gohan asked, referring to the barrier and the baby. It was only covering half the city. "How much of your- Oh my gosh!" Twilight said, pointing at Gohan's tail. "How much of my what?" Gohan asked. "...Do y'all realize you have a tail?" Applejack asked. Gohan looked at his tail. "Oh, it's back again." He said, wiggling it. "Wait, so the alicorn baby did not materialize a tail for you?" Celestia asked. "She might've. I mean, it grew back before, I don't see why it can't here." Gohan said. "We're going to talk later, but how much of your power are you using?" Twilight asked. "I'm using about... Let's say less than one percent of my full power in my current form." Gohan said. "Just cover the entire Empire already!" Twilight said. Gohan increased his power tenfold. The barrier covered the entire Crystal Empire. "And you should've went to the library!" He said. "On second thought, I wanna come." He added. "We need someone to watch the baby before she flies off!" Pinkie Pie said. "I'll do it! But someone needs to stop the blasts!" Goten said. "I'll handle that. Her magic isn't as strong as mine." Twilight said. "Okay, let's get to the library! Seriously, I don't want to hold this for over 48 hours again." Gohan said. And then baby decided to want to have fun and teleported herself right in Pinkie's face. She screamed in response and ripped her off her face. Shining Armor tried catching the baby before she hit the ground... But she teleported away. "W-Where did she go!?" Cadence asked. The baby laughed. "Oh, she's that way." Gohan and Goten said, pointing at the specific direction. "Okay, we also need to hold the audience off for some time." Twilight said. Gohan sighed in response. "I'll do it. You get the baby. The changing of jobs is confusing." Goten said. "No kidding." Everyone else said. *** Goten was outside giving the audience a fireworks show with his ki, while everyone else went to the library. Gohan was able to hold the baby with one arm. "Man, I don't know what we would do without you at this point. Probably trying in vain to catch her!" Shining Armor said. Pinkie was hopping high enough to be at face level with the baby. "It's your Auntie Pinkie Pie!" She said. And then the baby decided to blast her horn, putting a hole in the wall. "Well, I guess I'll do this." Gohan said, performing the Multi-Form Technique. He made one other clone. "Wait... Gohan can clone himself?" Shining Armor asked. "I can make copies of myself but my power is halved with every copy." Gohan said. "You just keep surprising us." Cadence said. "Yes, we are lucky to have him." Celestia said. Twilight wasn't moving fast enough to find a book at a reasonable time. "Twilight's a bit slow with the books... Let me do it again." The Gohan not holding the baby said, halving himself again. The cloned Gohan moved all over the library, looking at each cover of each book and putting them back if they were unrelated. Then Starlight and Spike came into the library. They saw the three Gohans and the baby constantly shooting magic blasts. "W-What's going on!? Why is there three Gohans!? And WHY do they have tails!?" Starlight asked. "That's the Multi-Form Technique and this baby gave it back to me. I used to have a tail, you know." The Gohan holding the baby said. "And do you want the long or short version of what's going on?" Pinkie asked. "Short?" Starlight asked. "The baby's an alicorn and accidentally destroyed the Crystal Heart and Twilight and Cadence and Gohan are looking for a spell to save the Crystal Empire from turning into a giant wasteland of snow and storms without Gohan having to put up his super large barrier." Pinkie said. "Wait... So while he's holding a powerful alicorn baby, blasting the baby's blasts, and looking for the right book, he's ALSO put up a barrier to protect the Crystal Empire from the Frozen North?" Starlight asked. "I'm exponentially stronger than all the alicorns in this room, I don't think it should come as a surprise at this point." Gohan said. "A-A very broad claim..." Starlight said. "He defeated Tirek, who absorbed the power of every alicorn before this baby and almost everypony in Equestria and Discord's AND his Super Saiyan power as a Super Saiyan 2. Need I say more?" Pinkie asked. Starlight was left speechless. "Yeah, Gohan's awesome, we know that." Rainbow Dash said. "And this tail gave me a small power boost." Gohan said. "And his brother is... I'm not sure about him." Twilight said. "I know for sure his power as a Super Saiyan is about a tenth of my base form." The Gohan looking through the library said. "Do you need any more?" Spike asked. Starlight shook her head no. "And does this book help?" Gohan asked, pulling out a black book with a unlocked lock and gold stuff on it. Twilight took the book with her magic. ""Trotter's Tome of Reliquary?" I think this is it!" Twilight said, scanning the book. She found a spell. "Spell of Relic Reconstitution! This is great!" She said. "Great! Now all we have to do is-" The Gohan that was SUPPOSED to be blasting the baby's blasts said before the baby destroyed the fucking book. Everyone looked in shock. "...Oops." Gohan said. "Oh no! That spell was the only thing in the library that was even close to what we needed!" Twilight said. "I'm so so sorry!" The Gohan said, bowing to everyone. "Y-You do not need to be so apologetic... You are multitasking beyond our own powers..." Luna said. "Do you remember the spell?" Cadence asked. "I only read it through once!" Twilight retorted. "Well, if anypony can exactly remember something she read for the first time two minutes ago, it's you, Twilight." Rarity said. "I'll try, but I'm not sure how long it'll take." Twilight said. *** Since Twilight couldn't remember jack about the spell, and her attempts failed. The topic of Sunburst came up and now they were going to summon him. Starlight and Spike went to his abode again. ...But he was too busy with 'important wizard' work. "What!? Did you hear what I said!?" Starlight asked. "Oh, I heard you, but-but like I said, when you're an important wizard, the work just piles up." Sunburst said. "Sunburst!" Starlight shouted. Sunburst sighed... "Look, Starlight, I want to help. I do. But I can't. I wish I could." He said. "What do you mean?! Gohan can't keep the barrier up forever!" Starlight said. "Gohan? Son Gohan? As in the alien warrior child who defeated Discord and Tirek alone? He's here!? And he put up a magical barrier around the city!?" Sunburst asked. "It's not magic. It's ki." Spike said. "H-Huh? Anyway... I can't fix an ancient relic! I can't even come close to that!" Sunburst said. "But I thought you were an important wizard!" Starlight said. "Well, you were wrong, okay?!" Sunburst said with tears. "I'm not an important wizard! I'm not even a wizard at all!" He yelled, dashing away into a separate room. He sat in a chair at his table. "I know it's hard for you to understand, but not all of us end up achieving greatness." Sunburst said. "What? Why wouldn't I understand that?" Starlight asked, sitting on the opposite side of the table. "Really? You're the protégé of the Princess of Friendship! I don't think she picks just anypony for that!" Sunburst said. "Technically, she's more of a student than a protégé." Spike said. "Actually she picked two." He added. "Whatever. I'm sorry I'm not the big important wizard you were expecting." Sunburst said. "Sunburst, I don't care if you're a wizard or not. I'm just surprised. You always knew so much about magic. I mean, look at all these books!" Starlight said. "Yeah, well, reading about magic is one thing, but you don't know what it was like at magic school! To know so much and not be able to do any of it!" Sunburst said. "Well, YOU don't know what it was like to be left behind! And then getting so bitter that you steal the cutie marks from an entire village and then get defeated by Twilight and her friends, so you travel through time to get back at them, but they beat you again and teach you about friendship, but you're so terrified ponies will find out what you did that you can't make any friends!" Starlight retorted with tears at the end. "The same kind of thing happened to Gohan before you came, Starlight." Spike said. "R-Really?" Starlight asked. "Yeah, worried we wouldn't accept him for why he actually came to Equestria." Spike said. "Oh." Starlight said. ... "Did you really travel through time?" Sunburst asked. "See? I told you he'd be impressed." Spike said. "I'm sorry we lost touch. Maybe if I had reached out, you could have helped me at magic school, and I could have helped you to-" "Not become totally evil?" Starlight interrupted. The two started to reconnect again, and they smiled. She sighed. "Let's just say I know what it's like to have something you're not exactly proud of." She said. "When you showed up thinking I was some big wizard... I'm sorry. I should have told you the truth." Sunburst said. "It's fine. At least we worked it all out. I think Twilight would be proud of us." Starlight said. "And... I think I know how we can fix the Crystal Heart." Sunburst said. "Okay, now that we've completed the first lesson, let's get back to the palace." Spike said. *** The three made it to the shattered Crystal Heart, where everyone else but Goten were. He was still giving the ponies an epic show. He was getting tired, but it was ok. Sunburst examined the shattered Heart. "The baby did this!?" He asked. "Yeah, she did. Due to her crying." Gohan said. Twilight pulled up her memories on a paper "I tried putting it back together with-" "The spell of Relic Reconstitution. No, that won't do it. The Crystal Heart's been around for millennia. Restoring a relic like this is way beyond one spell. You need to combine it with something else. Something unique to the relic itself. Something that strengthens it and provides it with power...?" Sunburst interrupted Twilight. "...The crystalling!" Twilight said. "Combining that spell with the light and love of everypony gathered for the ceremony, together with... Somnambula's Weather Abjuration to clear away the snow... and a little Fledgling's Forbearance for the parents... Heh. That should curb the little one's power fluctuations." Sunburst said, pulling out the spells for the two. "You must be Sunburst. Starlight said you were a powerful wizard." Cadence said. "Oh, I'm no wizard." Sunburst said. Everyone but Gohan, Celestia, Spike and Starlight gasped. Starlight came to his defense. "But he studied magic his whole life! You should see his house! And since nopony has any better ideas, what do we have to lose?!" She asked. After like, two seconds of thinking, Shining Armor had an answer. He used his magic to levitate the baby towards Sunburst. " I had planned on asking Twilight to be our crystaller, but since it seems like she'll be busy..." He said. "I'd be honored!" Sunburst said, holding the baby in his hooves. "Then what are we waiting for?" Twilight asked. *** The ceremony was happening now. An exhausted Goten was given a senzu bean by his trustworthy brother. The alicorns except Cadence and the baby put the Crystal Heart together, but they could only hold it for so long. So, the crystalling had to be quick. Everyone else was on the heart shaped stage. Cadence and Shining Armor touched horns, and the baby started floating with a yellow light. She was giggling while the magic made it's noise. Sunburst chose a gem from Rarity's collection. "Citizens! May I present the newest member of the Crystal Empire!" He proclaimed. The light shone brighter than before. Finally, the crystalling had happened. The ponies cheered. The Saiyans cheered. The gem was filled with magic, so Sunburst took it to the temporary Crystal Heart. And with that, the Crystal Heart was restored! Everyone was crystallized again. The storms closing in around Gohan's barrier were destroyed. And Gohan put down the barrier. "Wow! What is this!?" Goten asked. "Oh, we're crystallized. Don't turn Super Saiyan, or else you'll blind everypony." Gohan said. And with that, the baby was crystalled. The parents hugged their baby. *** The ponies and Saiyans gathered around the Crystal Heart again. "For a pony who isn't great at magic, you did pretty well." Starlight said. "Indeed. I'm glad to see you've found a way to share your unique gift, Sunburst. You may be more of a wizard than you think." Celestia said. "Yeah, you were good." Gohan said. *** Everyone but the Royal Sisters were at the train station, waiting for Twilight's parents to show up. And they did. "You would not believe the crazy weather that delayed our train. Came out of nowhere." Night Light, Twilight and Shining Armor's father said. "But it was all worth it to see this peaceful little angel! Awww, so sweet! Come to your grandmare!" Twilight Velvet said, and the baby reached for her with giggles. "Yeah, she's peaceful now. And it was totally worth it. Could've just teleported. But somepony decided that anticipation was better." Gohan said. "That reminds me... You're a good friend of Twilight's, correct?" Night Light asked. "Yep. And I'm the godfather of this adorable little powerful baby." Gohan said. "R-Really!? Then we have no doubts she will be safe forever!" Twilight Velvet said. "Definitely while he's around." Twilight said. The baby was about to sneeze, and everyone took cover! Well, not the Saiyans, but they were ready for a blast. She sneezed... Like a regular baby. "We have Sunburst to thank for that." Shining Armor said. "I hope he takes his role as crystaller seriously. Something tells me the baby will need a pony like him to look to for magical advice. Or Gohan if she wants to be some sort of martial artist." Cadence said. "Cadance, darling, aren't we gonna name the poor little dear, or are we gonna spend our entire visit just calling her "the baby"?" Twilight Velvet asked. "We were thinking... Flurry Heart." Cadence said. "Y'know, to remember the occasion." Shining Armor said. "Oh goodness, how could anyone forget?" Rarity asked. "It's still an amazing name." Gohan said. "Yes. I think it's lovely." Twilight said, kissing Flurry on the cheek. Flurry reached and giggled. And that concludes that. Author's Note Holy shit, this came later than I said it would. Sorry, but education's demands are absolute bullshit. (Especially when you're an honors student) Sorry it was so late, I probably should've not promised it two days ago, but I have some of the next two done. I can't guarantee when the next chapter is out but the one after that is probably soon after it. Have a good day.
Gohan's New Form! The Mighty Oozaru!Ah, what a peaceful sunset in Equestria. Let's check in on Earth, Still there. Let's check on that guy. Not pink anymore. Why? He's not mutated. And? He's not uncontrollably using ki anymore so it's good for him. He mastered his massive power. And he's leaving without destroying Earth. "Time to find the sons of that fool. This is perfection, I should have planned this before!" He said. And now he's murdering a fuckton of aliens. Did I say fuckton? I meant 10 metric fucktons cubed aliens. Over the course of years. So peaceful. And now... The Mane 6, the Saiyans, Starlight, the Royal Sisters and Spike are going to stargaze! Unknowingly to all of them... There was going to be a full moon tonight. They were all atop the mountain harboring Canterlot. "Man, this will be perfect for my studies!" Twilight said. "There are a ton of them out there. Like Namek. And Yardrat. And the now destroyed Vegeta. And the destroyed Arli-" "I get the point." Twilight interrupted. "And the full moon will make the experience amazing!" Rarity said as Luna lifted the moon and Celestia lowered the sun. "Yeah! The- Wait, did you say full moon?" Gohan asked. "Um, yes, I did." Rarity said. Gohan was afraid. He couldn't stop staring at the moon. "You guys need to leave, NOW!" He shouted. "Why?" Everyone asked. No response. Gohan's eyes turned red as he stared at the moon. "Gohan?" Goten asked. Now everyone could see Gohan's heartbeat. "What's happening to you?" Celestia asked. No response. "OOH! I know! He's gonna turn into this BIIIIIIG monkey!" Pinkie said. "Frankly, I don't think that's happening." Applejack said. "Uh... I really think she's right!" Goten said, pointing at Gohan. His eyes were entirely red, and he really started to bulk up. "W-We must flee!" Luna said. "On it!" Twilight said, teleporting everyone to the palace. Gohan began to develop serious body hair and his jaw enlarged. *** "W-What's going on!?" Starlight asked. "Um... I-I really think we should look out the window right now!" Fluttershy said. Gohan... Was the mighty oozaru! He was hanging on to the mountain. "W-What!?" Everyone asked. Gohan roared loudly. It could be heard beyond Griffonstone. "Gohan!?" Everyone asked. Gohan fired a blast from his mouth at the palace. Everyone cowered in fear, and took cover. Not Goten. He jumped and broke through the window, turning Super Saiyan. He cupped his hands together and smashed them to the side at the blast. He was really struggling to even hold it at bay. But, a little more power gave Goten enough strength to smack it into space. "Gohan! What are you doing!?" Goten shouted. Gohan roared in response and jumped at Goten. Goten, ready to move the fight somewhere else, flew at Gohan's chest. He used his ki to create a blue aura and sparkles to increase damage dealt. He smashed himself into Gohan, managing to knock him back. He flew himself and Gohan far from Canterlot, and all the way to the Foal Mountains. Well, it was right next to Canterlot but still. Gohan smacked him away, and jumped towards the nearby city, the Hollow Shades. Much to the ponies' horror, Gohan began using their homes as ammunition against the incoming Goten. 'I have to get him out of here!' Goten thought as he dodged. Goten waited for the right moment to strike. He waited until Gohan would blast him, and then he smashed himself back into Gohan until they reached the Foal Mountains again. *** "W-What's happened to him!?" Rarity asked. "This must be why he told us to leave..." Starlight said. "Why did he turn into that!?" Twilight asked. "Don't you remember? Gohan told us that when Saiyans have tails and they look at the full moon, they turn into giant monkeys!" Pinkie said. "R-Really!?" Everyone asked. "We should've told him it was a full moon, what fools we are!" Luna said. "W-We can't rely on Goten! We have to help!" Rainbow Dash said. "But how!?" Twilight asked. "With friendship. We might be able to calm him down." Applejack said. "It's certainly a plan... But... Do not get yourselves killed." Starlight said. "Alright, girls, let's go!" Twilight said. The Mane 6 gathered near Twilight. ...Except Fluttershy. "Fluttershy! What are you waiting for!?" Twilight asked. "W-We have to go near... That big, giant, scary, murderous monkey!?" Fluttershy asked, actually shaking in fear. "Fluttershy, we will accompany you. We shall protect you to the best of our abilities." Celestia said. Luna nodded. "Good luck guys." Spike said. *** Goten was struggling greatly. Damaging Gohan was near impossible at this point. Smashing his body into Gohan isn't working well anymore. Kamehamehas would do some damage... But it would never be enough. Goten was top a mountain, and Gohan was in the distance, smashing his chest and roaring. "Take this! Kamehame...." Goten yelled, ready to fire the Kamehameha. Gohan roared in response and began charging his own mouth beam. Then the Mane 6 appeared by Goten. "What are you doing here!?" Goten asked. "Helping you." Twilight said. "Ready girls!?" She asked. "Yeah!" Everyone said. The Mane 6 accessed the Rainbow Power. Goten smiled. "TOGETHER! HA!" He yelled, firing the Kamehameha. The magic of Friendship was fired at Gohan as well. Gohan fired back with a mouth blast. The blast struggle was pretty even... Until Gohan put just a little more power into his blast. The blast was nearing the seven. "It's not working!" Twilight yelled. "Try harder!" Rainbow Dash screamed. The extra Friendship was able to move it back slightly. Goten was giving it his all... And he gave even more! The blast overpowered Gohan's quickly. Gohan, being stupid as a giant ape, didn't put more power into his blast and ended up trying to hold the combined ultimates. "Just... A bit... More!" Goten screamed. The princesses, even though their power levels were weaker, aided them and adding their blasts. The blast was close to engulfing Gohan. Gohan, in a fit of rage... ... The blast exploded in Gohan's face. The ponies and Saiyan huffed and panted. "Did... Did... We do it?" Rainbow Dash asked. "I... I think..." Goten said. But sadly, they were wrong. Oh, so wrong. A loud roar could be heard within the smoke! And a golden aura cleared the smoke. They all looked in shock. Gohan was unscathed, and... His body hair was yellow! He had turned into the Golden Oozaru! "Run! You have to leave, NOW!" Goten shouted. "What!? We can't just-" "DID YOU HEAR ME!?" Goten interrupted Twilight. "Twilight, we cannot aid Goten this time." Celestia said. "B-But..." Twilight said. "You don't understand. His power's increased so much. You'll all die! I care about you, and I can't let you down!" Goten yelled. Twilight reluctantly teleported everyone else back to the palace. "Now it's you and me, you big monster!" Goten screamed, using his final resolve of strength to fly full force at him. His aura was incredibly blue, and sparkles appeared. Goten smashed himself into Gohan, causing an explosion! ...But Gohan remained unfazed. Gohan smashed his fist into Goten, and straight into the ground. Goten struggled to even keep his footing. And then Gohan decided to step on him! Goten was really struggling to keep the foot up. He could feel his muscles tearing, especially in his arms then his legs. He actually started to cry in pain. "G-Gohan! Please stop!" He cried. His arms began to bleed. "GOHAN!" Goten cried in a desperate attempt to get to Gohan. But Gohan wasn't himself. And he mercilessly stepped on Goten. Goten stopped his crying and only frowned. "I... I forgive you, big brother." He muttered before he closed his eyes let the foot crush him. Gohan roared. *** The ponies and dragon looked in shock from the palace. "That's it! I don't even know why I bothered to leave him to fight Gohan! I'm going back!" Twilight yelled. "Me too!" Rainbow Dash said. "Same here, I ain't about to let Gohan smash anymore things!" Applejack said. "So do I." Rarity said. "Same here!" Pinkie said. "Me too." Fluttershy said. "You cannot, I forbid you!" Celestia said. "Princess Celestia, this is the one time I am going to willingly go against your wishes. I'm sorry." Twilight said. "B-But you'll die!" Starlight said. Twilight teleported her and her friends. *** Gohan was flying at Ponyville. Or, jumping, really. His jump made it look like flight. Gohan was on the edge of Ponyville, and he was ready to smash everything in sight. The ponies looked in shock and fear. He smashed a house and grabbed another, hurling it into space before roaring again. The buildings he just fucked up had no ponies, luckily. And the Mane 6 all appeared. And they were all scared... But Fluttershy? You know what she did? She had the face of determination, and flew up to Gohan! "Fluttershy!" Twilight yelled. She didn't listen. Gohan threw his giant monkey fist at Fluttershy, and actually missed. "How dare you. HOW DARE YOU!" Fluttershy screamed at a volume never heard before. Gohan was about to grab her. "Do you think you can just go around and destroy building all you want because you can!? DO YOU!?" Fluttershy yelled. Gohan stopped. She stood on his gigantic nose. Gohan grunted questionably in response. "I will never forgive you for this, you big meanie! YOU WILL NEVER GET AWAY WITH THIS!" Fluttershy screamed, WAY TOO uncharacteristic of her. Gohan really stopped now. He actually calmed down. And... He was incredibly guilty. He realized what he had done. He realized how he had been acting. He could remember and imagine himself... Seeing Goten... And watching him get crushed. A tear came to his imagined self. He stared at the moon behind Fluttershy, and gently moved her away with his giant finger. He giant tear came to his oozaru eye. She was scared again, and flew back to the rest of the Mane 6 in fear. "Wow... You really got to him." Twilight said. Gohan developed a yellow aura... He reached out to the moon with both hands and lightning started to spark around him. He roared loudly. He slowly but surely began to shrink. Most of his body hair turned red, and once he was 1.5x an adult's height, he randomly developed his pants, wristbands, belt and boots again. At this point, his voice was starting to return to normal. His hair began to turn black, and his chest lost some of his body hair. "W-What's happening to Gohan!?" Rainbow Dash asked. "He... He's shrunk!" Twilight said. "But is he normal!?" Applejack asked. "We can only hope." Twilight said. Gohan was at his normal size again. But he was still... Transforming. He bent down, still roaring. He still had a golden aura. But he stretched backwards and roared as loudly as he could. The lightning sparks increased hundredfold, and the moon suddenly turned red. The terrain within a 50 foot radius was completely destroyed. Everyone watched couldn't see with the winds Gohan was emanating. So... One or two houses were fucked. ...Shit. Smoke covered the area, and the roaring ceased. As it died down, something new could be seen. A brand new Gohan. A Super Saiyan 4! His irises were yellow on the outside, and black on the inside. His hair... Relatively the same. The outsides of his eyes were red. Only his chest, his head, his hands and a small part of his stomach were not covered in red fur. He stared at the sky blankly. "Hey! What's going on!?" Rainbow Dash yelled. "He looks quite... Different." Rarity said. Twilight, being the boldest one, slowly inched closer to Gohan. "Don't die!" Rainbow Dash said. "I won't." Twilight said before gulping. She inched closer and closer. Eventually she was only ten feet away from him. "Gohan? I need to know, are you still on our side?" She asked, fear evident in her voice. Gohan snapped out of his trance, and scanned his surroundings. He slowly held his hand up. "T...Twilight?" He asked. "A-Are you still on our side?" Twilight asked. Gohan nodded in response, but felt great shame. "He's him again!" Twilight said. The Mane 6 all cheered again. Gohan scanned his body. He felt great power from himself... But the guilt was far greater than any power he possessed. 'How could I have done that to Goten?' He thought as he looked at the palms of his hands. 'Not even Fluttershy forgives me... I'm a monster.' He thought. "Did I do all of this?" He asked Twilight. "Uh... Yeah! You went crazy and started smashing everything! Including us and Goten!" Twilight snapped. Gohan was trying to fight back tears. "Where is he?" He asked. "I believe he is still at the Foal Mountains. But... What are you now?" Rarity asked. "Is it some sort of Super Saiyan form?" Rainbow Dash asked. Gohan didn't answer. He flew away in a flash. "What is he?" Fluttershy asked. "Oh, he's a Super Saiyan 4!" Pinkie Pie said. "Super Saiyan... 4? What happened to 3? How is that a Super Saiyan form?" Rainbow Dash asked. "3 makes his hair longer and makes him scream and also removes his eyebrows, silly! And this is a non-canon fan fiction, so GT is perfectly fine here!" Pinkie said. "Canon... Fan what? Where are you getting GT and screaming from!?" Twilight asked. "What do you mean? You need to keep up with the times on the internet." Pinkie said. "But nopony here knows what you're saying!" Applejack said. "Eh." Pinkie said, shrugging. The denizens of Ponyville began to walk towards the damages. "Who did this!?" A mare asked. "Gohan did it!" Pinkie said. "Pinkie!" The rest of the Mane 6 yelled. "Oops." Pinkie said. "You mean Gohan did this!? I should've known, he was gonna turn on us later!" A stallion yelled. "Don't say that!" Fluttershy said. "What do you mean? He lured us into a false sense of security and decided to turn on us last second!" A mare yelled. "Okay, ma'am, FIRST OF ALL," Pinkie yelled before she continued. *** Celestia, Luna, Starlight and Spike were tending to the broken Goten. He was still alive, luckily. But was just barely hanging on. Starlight and Spike slowly bandaged Goten as the princesses slowly healed him. It would take hours for this to complete. "Did Gohan really do this...?" Starlight asked. *** Gohan went to the mountain harboring Canterlot. He searched the place for the senzu beans he had. And he found the pouch. 'Goten... Please hang on!' He thought as he flew at the Foal Mountains. *** Goten was probably gonna die. The blood loss at this point was pretty much greater than the amount of healing. Luckily, a hairy man- I mean, Gohan came from the mountain harboring Canterlot. He landed nearby, and shocked the ponies and dragon. Luna stepped up to plate, spreading her wings and getting into a battle stance. "Stray away!" She yelled. "Princess Luna, I'm normal!" Gohan said. "Wait... Gohan?" Spike asked. "Where's Goten?" Gohan asked. "He's right here." Starlight said, pointing a hoof at Goten. Luna turned normal again. "I apologize for my rudeness... What happened?" She asked. "I transformed. I should've removed my tail the first chance I had." Gohan said, walking towards Goten. "Why have you received this... This form?" Celestia asked, stopping her magic. "I don't know." Gohan said, slowly opening Goten's mouth and dropping a senzu bean in. There was silence until Goten swallowed. All his wounds had healed. And he opened his eyes. "Gohan...? Is that you?" He asked weakly. "Yes... It's me." Gohan said, averting his gaze to the ground beside Goten in shame. Goten instantly sprang up and hugged Gohan. "I'm so happy you're back!" He exclaimed. Gohan was very, very surprised. "W-What...?" He asked. 'Isn't he supposed to be mad as hell that I tried to kill him?' He thought. "You're not a giant ape anymore!" Goten said. Then he realized Gohan was a Super Saiyan 4. "What's with the serious power?" He asked, breaking the hug. "I'm not really sure myself... Listen, Goten, I am so sorry I did this. Can you ever-" "Yep!" Goten interrupted. Even the bystanders were a little surprised. "What...?" Gohan asked. "I said yes to forgiveness! I said it before you crushed me with your foot, too." Goten said. "Y-You... Thank you." Gohan said. "Excuse us," Celestia said, gaining the attention of Gohan. "we forgive you as well." She said. "R-Really...?" Gohan asked. "Uh, duh!" Spike said. "I tried to rule a village then Equestria, yet you forgave me. Of course we would." Starlight said. Gohan was happy... But still felt guilty. Well, mostly because of what he did and also what Fluttershy said. *** "And that is why we shouldn't turn on Gohan!" Pinkie said. "What? You just gave us a recipe for chocolate ice cream cake!" A stallion yelled. "What she MEANT to say was that Gohan has defended Equestria from many threats that not even we nor the princesses could handle. He continues to do that. Are we going to just turn on him just for a single mistake? I mean, aliens came trying to destroy the entire world, and he defeated them, saving us all!" Twilight said. "But he's turned on US now!" A mare yelled. "Is he still going berserk?" Applejack asked. "He's not a giant ape anymore!" Rainbow Dash said. "Well... Uh..." Some ponies said. "See? Gohan would never turn on us, and neither should you!" Fluttershy said. And the argument went on... Not really, it ended in Gohan's favor. *** Eventually, the hate on Gohan was gone. But his guilt wouldn't cease, no matter how many ponies and person forgave him. Next time, on this really weird and stupid fan fiction... Shit, can't give a preview. Author's Note Yeah, I really wanted SSJ4. So Gohan's current base is: 60,000,000,000. SSJ4 - I don't fucking know. Maybe it's 1,500,000,000,000,000. (Basex10x50x50) Or it's 240,000,000,000,000,000. (Hypothetical SSJ3 x 10,000) It's not a 10x multiplier, that's for sure. I dunno, what do you think? Also, I'm now 50-50 on Sunset x Gohan, and I want to know if you guys want to see it happen. Comment. Now.
The Surprise Visit and Surprise Enemy (Fusion Reborn Pt. 1)Gohan sat on the grass as he watched Goten train. Recently, he didn't have the energy to train so hard. Mainly due to his newfound transformation, which Pinkie keeps insisting is a Super Saiyan 4, but nobody's thinking it's a Super Saiyan form at all. Goten didn't think much about the incident. In fact, he acts as if it never happened. But enough about numbers, something crazy is happening! "Hello." A familiar voice said. Gohan was shocked. He turned his head to the side to see no other than Cell. "Cell!" He yelled, standing up. "That's Cell?" Goten asked, pointing at Cell. "Yeah. What are you doing out of hell?" Gohan asked. "Oh nothing, it's just that we were all able to escape." Cell said with a grin. "'All?' You mean everyone else in hell is roaming free!?" Gohan asked. "Not just hell, even purgatory and heaven. Now, time for me to repay you for that incident at the Cell Games..." Cell said, powering up. "I've been training in hell. You won't win this time..." He said. His power level was about a 150,000,000,000. Gohan instantly let out a war cry as he turned Super Saiyan. He let out another war cry as he charged at Cell. Cell was much weaker at this point, so he couldn't react in time. Gohan punched Cell in the stomach, actually penetrating through, and uppercutted him in half in half. Cell just turned into smoke. 'What?' Gohan thought. "Wow! You beat him in one punch!" Goten said. "Goten, I have a feeling we're going to fight some more, so get ready." Gohan said. *** Gohan and Goten were in Ponyville. Gohan had his sword for the first time in a while. And as he suspected, the dead were walking amongst the living. Zombies were there, fucking people who aren't ponies were there and ponies were there and Gohan and Goten sent them all back to Other World. I'm not going into detail because... Well, sadness. After the massacre, there were no more dead. "Why is this happening?" Goten asked. "I don't know." Gohan said, sheathing his sword. Then the Mane 6 and Starlight were walking up to Gohan. "Gohan, somepony important is waiting for you at Canterlot." Twilight said. "Does it have something to do with heaven, purgatory and hell's denizens wandering around?" Gohan asked. "Yes." Everyone said. "This is the first time I'm seeing you so calm about something so random." Gohan said. *** Gohan and everyone else appeared in the throne room. The two princesses were obviously there, but two others were there too. One had red skin with long, white hair and a weird getup with a sash. The other had light purple skin with a mohawk and white hair, and was considerably smaller. He sported the same but different colored getup. The smaller one was the stronger of the two, and Gohan could feel some power. "Hello, Son Gohan." The smaller one said. "Uh... Hello. Who are you?" Gohan asked. "I am the Supreme Kai. This is my attendant, Kibito." Supreme Kai said. "S-Supreme Kai? What about King Kai?" Gohan asked. "I am at a higher level than the Kais of the North, South, East and West galaxies. And King Kai has been slain from existence." Supreme Kai said. "King Kai doesn't exist anymore?" Gohan asked. "Okay, what the heck are you two going on about?" Rainbow Dash said. Luna hushed Rainbow Dash. "Gohan is speaking with some of the most important people in the entire universe!" She said. "I am afraid so. Anyway, we have a problem, and as you know, the dead are walking amongst the living." Supreme Kai said. "Yeah, and do you know why?" Gohan asked. "Yes. In heaven, someone hadn't done their job changing a tank full of evil. The Spirit cleanser had overflown with evil juices, and the tank had not been changed. It contained thousands of years of evil. The result was an explosion that created a monster out of the worker." Supreme Kai said. Kibito spawned a crystal ball. The ball showed what was happening. The realms of heaven and hell were captured and but into small orbs. And a childish monster was toying around. "The monster is known as Janemba. Luckily, the world of the Kais was not affected. This is why we're here. The realm of heaven is unprotected, and the gates of hell are wide open. If Janemba isn't stopped, then we are all doomed. Our power alone is to small to stop Janemba. We need you, Son Gohan." Supreme Kai said. "Well, I'd be happy to take Janemba on." Gohan said, punching his palm. "But why don't you call my father if he could just go anywhere he wants?" He asked. Supreme Kai and Kibito started sweating and hesitated before answering. "Well, you see, uh... It appears that Son Goku is... Er..." Kibito said. "Son Goku is what, busy?" Gohan asked. "Uh... Yes!" Supreme Kai said. "Okay. So how do I get to where Janemba is?" Gohan asked. "I will take you there." Kibito said. "I'm coming too!" Goten said. "No. You have to stay here and protect Equestria from hell." Gohan said. Rainbow Dash snickered. "I meant it literally, Rainbow. I can sense someone familiar in Ponyville you may want to defeat as soon as possible, Goten." He said. *** Kibito teleported Gohan to the wasteland of balls and shit. It's the same place as in the movie, okay? It's hard to describe. Kibito instantly teleported away, leaving Gohan on his own. Gohan could sense an immense power in the distance. Well, it was high up. Gohan flew up, and he could see the check in station imprisioned by a weird shaped orb. "Did a building get stuck here?" He asked himself. "Goku! Goku, is that you!?" A voice called. "Huh? No, I'm his son, Gohan." Gohan said. "Gohan? His son? I'm glad you're here, I'm King Yemma, and you need to get us out of here!" Yemma exclaimed. "R-Right!" Gohan said, still not knowing who King Yemma is exactly. He fired a powerful blast at the imprisoned check in station. No effect. "Uh oh." Gohan said. "Gohan, on the roof! There's a monster on the roof!" Yemma yelled. "What? I don't see a monster on the-" Gohan said before he SAW the monster on the roof. "N-Nevermind, goodness!" He said. The monster was Janemba. He was giant, yellow, and FAT. I mean more than the fattest feminists you see on the news. He smiled at Gohan. "Er... He doesn't seem all that bad to me." Gohan said. "Well, we'll soon find out." A voice said. Someone appeared beside Gohan. "Uh, hello. Who are you?" Gohan asked. "Wait, Goku, is that you?" He asked. "No, I'm his son." Gohan said. "Sorry, I thought Goku was back. I'm Pikkon." Pikkon said. "Hello Pikkon. I'm Gohan." Gohan said. "Janemba!" Janemba said childishly. Pikkon flew up to Janemba's face. "Are you the one who put a barrier around this world!?" He asked, pointing a finger at Janemba. "Janemba, Janemba!" Janemba said. "Uh... Okay. Now, be a good boy and take down the barrier, Janemba." Pikkon said. Janemba sat there, staring at Pikkon. Gohan flew up beside Pikkon. "I think he wasn't listening." He said. "Are you stupid or what!? You heard me, take that barrier down this instant or else!" Pikkon yelled. "Janemba!" Janemba said, raising his giant fist slowly. "ARE YOU TRYING TO MAKE A FOOL OUT OF ME YO-" Pikkon said before Janemba effortlessly smacked him away with a flick. Pikkon smashed into a red orb, halting the speed. He was trying to recover from that serious blow. "Man, he didn't even try. Who are you?" Gohan asked. "Careful, Gohan! He's stronger than he looks!" Pikkon said. "And I'm stronger than I look." Gohan said. "Janemba! Woo!" Janemba said, radiating a white light and winds. "Incredible, he's stronger than I thought. I haven't felt a power like this before... Maybe I should handle this alone, Pikkon." Gohan said, powering up. "I know you, you're just like your dad, being selfish like that, you just want to have all the fun!" Pikkon said. "I'm only saying this for the better. If you want, you can have a shot at him before me." Gohan said. "That's what I'll do." Pikkon said, rushing at Janemba. "Janemba!" Janemba said. He threw a fist to no effect whatsoever. Pikkon slowly backed away. "See? I know you're wearing weights, but even that won't be enough, Pikkon." Gohan said. "And what, you'll turn into a Super Saiyan and beat him all of a sudden!?" Pikkon asked. "I don't know." Gohan said. "Janemba, Janemba!" Janemba said, pointing at Gohan. 'So he wants to fight me, huh?' Gohan thought. Since Janemba was literally a giant fucking baby, Gohan did what he did best with babies. "Oh, you want to fight me, don't you!" Gohan said in a cooing voice. "Janemba, Janemba!" Janemba said, wallowing around. "I think he means yes." Pikkon said. "HURRY UP AND SAVE US ALREADY!" King Yemma yelled, startling the two. "Jeez, sorry. Pikkon, I'm going to lure him down there, you help King Yemma." Gohan said, flying up to Janemba. "Good luck." Pikkon said. Gohan, using his knowledge of Flurry Heart, started using tactics. He clapped his hands front of Janemba, which usually got Flurry to crawl or fly towards him. "Come on!" He said as he flew down to hell. Janemba was wallowing in surprise. "Come on, Janemba! Follow the leader, buddy! This way, woohoo! Fun city this way!" Gohan said as he fell down. Janemba laughed and wallowed like a child before jumping down after Gohan. "There you go!" Gohan said. As they finally reached the grounds of hell, Janemba was covered in orbs of many colors. "Man, I wonder how many dimensions of creation this guy's affected." Gohan said to himself. Janemba landed on his back, struggling to get back up. He was making the same noises a baby would make. 'He seems so harmless.' Gohan thought. Janemba finally got himself up. "Janemba!" He said. He placed his hand on a few rocks, and light emitted. Gohan watched intently. The rocks turned into many little Janembas! "Woo Janemba!" They kept repeating in a much higher voice. Janemba stared spawning more and more! Gohan smiled. "They're actually kind of cute, Janemba!" He said. The small Janembas were still bigger than Gohan, though. They all piled on top of Gohan. "Janemba, Janemba, Janemba!" Janemba said, clapping his hands. "HA!" Gohan yelled as he started punching and kicking all away in rapid succession. Janemba stopped clapping. Every one of the small Janemba's fell to the ground and disappeared. "Janemba?" Janemba asked. *** Goten, Rainbow Dash and Celestia were defending Ponyville from the denizens of hell. Luna, Twilight and Cadence protected other various cities with a smaller count of villains. Goten was face to face with Frieza. "Goku? Did you get smaller in my time in hell?" He asked. "Goku? I'm Goten, silly!" Goten said. "Then you must be that monkey's son! I'll get my revenge this way, HA!" Frieza yelled as he charged at Goten. "Whoa man!" Goten yelled as he turned Super Saiyan and began clashing with Frieza. "Even you can turn into a Super Saiyan!?" Frieza asked. "BELIEVE IT!" Goten yelled as he uppercutted Frieza, making him turn to smoke. The Ginyu Force started ganging up around Goten. "You're gonna go to hell for that!" Recoome said. "Imma send you BACK to that place!" Goten said. And so, Goten effortlessly defeated the Ginyu Force. Celestia was handling Androids 19 and 20, which proved to be quite a match for her. Celestia couldn't attack with magic randomly, or else they would absorb it. So, she used her hoof to hoof combat skills. She kept trading blows with them, and eventually she grew tired of the boring fight. She stabbed her horn through 19 and exploded him with magic. Android 20, or Dr. Gero looked in shock. Celestia put Gero in magic and started to crush him. Well, we know how that ends. Rainbow Dash was having fun defeating the dead Red Ribbon Army. "Hi-yah!" She yelled as she delivered a flying kick at a soldier. "This is too easy!" She said as she backhoofed Mercenary Tao, or Taopaipai from behind. Let's check in on Twilight. She's in Appleloosa. "I'm gonna make you suffer!" Nappa yelled. Twilight fired magic at him, again, turning him to smoke. Saibamen, Raditz, and even Frieza soldiers started appearing around her. "Oh man, what am I going to do!?" She asked. Cadence landed beside her. "Looks like you need some help." She said. "Yeah, I do." Twilight said. "Let's go!" Cadence yelled. They started tearing them apart particle of smoke by particle of smoke. Luna was dealing with King Cold himself in Canterlot, and he proved to be quite a match for her. The battle rages on between living and dead. Let's check in on Gohan now. *** "Janemba, Janemba!" Janemba said as he started marching at Gohan. He stopped and made all the orbs fall on top of Gohan. Gohan narrowly avoided them, but managed to escape the wrath. Janemba laughed as he clenched his hand and all the orbs piled on to Gohan, trapping him. "Ah!" He yelled. Janemba started dashing towards the pile. Gohan was trying to find his way out, and as he found the exit, he saw a Janemba ramming into him. He teleported out in time, and he started flying at Janemba. Janemba just backflipped and kicked Gohan away. 'Man, he packs a punch!' Gohan thought. He flew at Janemba again, only to be slapped away. Gohan recovered, and he stood there, planning. Janemba made his fist warp reality and appear next to Gohan, getting a nice hit on him. Janemba started doing combos on Gohan with his warping fists, punching him back and forth. You know, hyper combos, ultra combos, 25 hit combos, Ryu combos Cat in the Hat combos Horton hears a who combos and everything in the book. Eventually Janemba tried smashing him into the ground, and Gohan managed to regain his footing there. He struggled to keep the fist at bay, so he decided to go full power, blasting the fist away. Janemba recovered quickly, and performed another warping punch. Gohan saw this one coming, so he fired another blast at the fist, or portal, even, blasting Janemba square in the face. Janemba actually fell over. "Kamehameha!" Gohan yelled as he fired the Kamehameha wave at Janemba. Janemba smiled and formed a clone of Gohan in his palm, and it fired the exact same blast back at Gohan. "W-What the!?" Gohan asked. The blast evened out, exploding the two. As the smoke died down, you could see Gohan's gi torn a little, and barely any scratch on Janemba. "Did Discord show up or something?" Gohan asked. Janemba stared laughing like a child again. "I better stop this quickly." Gohan said to himself. He quickly turned Super Saiyan. Janemba stood up, and made his... Well, udders or stomach nipples, I don't give a shit, they fired powerful blasts at Gohan. Gohan unsheathed his sword and charged it with ki. "You're going down, Janemba!" He yelled as he cut through the blasts. He flew towards Janemba. Janemba actually fell on his head and started spinning uncontrollably. He ending up making a nuclear blast appear, and Gohan was caught in it. Let's check in on Pikkon. Still didn't shatter the fucking barrier, and is yelling at it. Back to Gohan. The blast barely did anything on him. As the explosion died down, Janemba couldn't see Gohan. Gohan used this opportunity to start cutting Janemba. "Janemba!" Janemba yelled. "You act innocent, but you're deadly! It's over Janemba, TAKE THIS!" Gohan yelled. He quickly put his sword back and started pummeling Janemba towards the sky. Janemba was actually feeling enormous pain, and started coughing. He accidentally made every single orb fall to the ground. Even the check in station. Gohan punched Janemba through the downpour of orbs and appeared above him. He cupped his hands together and performed a double axe handle on Janemba, sending him down like a meteor. Janemba landed, making the orbs fly again. Gohan put two Kamehamehas in his hands and flew down to Janemba. Janemba sat up in pain, and looked up at Gohan. Gohan flew right into his head, firing the Kamehamehas. Janemba started crying in pain. Pikkon looked from above as he saw the flash of light. "And he didn't even go Super Saiyan 2... How can his own son be much stronger than him?" Pikkon said to himself. Gohan landed 50 feet away from the crying Janemba. Janemba reached out in pain before he was limp. He wasn't moving anymore. "Phew, that was weird." Gohan said. But a red orb glistened. And Janemba started moving again. He actually started to shrink... And his power was growing immensely! Gohan looked in shock. Janemba eventually turned red, and he was a regular person's height. Well, more than average. He sported a new look now, he has red skin covered by violet armor. He even has a tail now. He sounds and looks more like a demon. He was now Super Janemba! "This can't be good." Gohan said. Janemba started to fly at Gohan, making the ground crack beneath him. He threw a kick, which Gohan dodged. Gohan kicked him, but Janemba felt nothing. "What!?" Gohan asked as he was sent flying away by a tail. Gohan landed on the ground again. 'Super Saiyan 2 it is.' He thought. He instantly turned Super Saiyan 2, gaining Janemba's attention. "You should be proud of yourself. Only a few have actually gotten me to go this far." Gohan said. He flew at Janemba Janemba used his tail to attack, but Gohan narrowly dodged it. He smashed the ground, making it crack. Gohan dropkicked Janemba in the face. Janemba, enraged, grabbed Gohan's foot. He swung him around, but Gohan was able to kick him in the side of his head again, getting free. Gohan threw a ki blast at Janemba, but he made it go through a portal, avoiding the attack. Gohan looked around, trying to find his blast, but it struck him from behind. He was sent flying a bit, but regained his composure. Janemba flew at him. Gohan used the ground to jumped back at Janemba, kneeing him square in the face, and also kicking him again in the face. He threw a ki blast right at Janemba's face, but Janemba warped out of reality for a sec, making it miss. He appeared behind Gohan, getting him in a chokehold and blasting him square in the stomach. Gohan grunted in pain as he was sent flying. Janemba shot a green blast from his mouth straight at Gohan. Gohan was sent flying again, and now half his orange shirt was gone. His pants were a little torn too. He landed safely, but was panting. Never had his Super Saiyan 2 form failed him this badly. A weird spiked bottle emerged in between the two. Janemba warped in front of the bottle, picked it up, and turned it into a red sword! He grinned and laughed before he charged at Gohan with it. Gohan unsheathed his sword and charged it with ki quickly, blocking Janemba's fierce blow with it. Bad idea, since the sword was snapped into two. It was that powerful. 'That was Commander Hurricane's sword! It was a good one too, dang it!' He thought. Janemba swung vertically again, and Gohan dodged this time. He dropped the broken sword. Janemba's swung was so powerful it cut many miles away. Gohan threw a ki blast at Janemba, but he sliced it in two. But it still hit him. And he wasn't fazed. Gohan flew away, trying to plan what he could do next. *** The Supreme Kai, Old Kai and Kibito watched in the World of the Kais from a Crystal Ball. "I thought you said he could defeat him! He's the son of that moron Goku!" Old Kai yelled. "Trust me, Elder Kai, I know he can do it! He's much stronger than his father!" Supreme Kai said. *** Janemba made his sword slice from many directions. Gohan narrowly avoided all but one slice. It grazed his chest, but cut the shirts. Janemba started chasing after Gohan, slicing with the sword again. Gohan kept narrowly avoiding them! Eventually he was caught in one, and he lost his Super Saiyan form. He fell right into a giant liquid red cone, where he floated. 'I can't believe he could beat a Super Saiyan 2... I'm so weak...' Gohan thought. Janemba, trying to have fun, started slicing the liquid until it was so small that Gohan barely fit in it. He stared at the motionless Gohan with a smug grin before finally slicing at him. Gohan braced for impact... When suddenly, many tiny blue ki blasts were sent at the slice and Janemba. Janemba roared as the blasts damaged him. The liquid shattered, and Gohan fell on the ground on all fours. "It seems you're going to need my help again, brat." A familiar voice said. Gohan looked behind him in shock. It was the Prince of all Saiyans, Vegeta! Author's Note It's been over a week, what the fuck am I doing? Fridge is empty, and I have not eaten in twenty minutes. Anyway, education's a real bitch. Graduation bullshit and I even threw up during one of the speeches. It was pure pandemonium. Okay, enough about vomit, I'm back, and I might post another one in two days. Next week is when I will most likely go on a marathon for this shit. But I might not because of other things I won't go into great detail for. I'm not abandoning this story, I fucking love it. Okay, now about Vegeta... He's the only one that the creature didn't erase from existence. Why? Torture. That settles that. Have a good day.
The Ultimate Power Unleashed! (Fusion Reborn Pt. 2)"Vegeta!?" Gohan asked. "I'm going to end Janemba RIGHT now." Vegeta said. "Vegeta, I can tell you're a Super Saiyan 2, and you're much weaker than him. You can't beat him." Gohan said. "I know that, but fuck you anyway." Vegeta said before he charged at Janemba. 'Classic Vegeta.' Gohan thought. "You are going to kill yourself!" Gohan yelled. "Already dead, bitch!" Vegeta yelled. "Well, I can't argue with that." Gohan said. Janemba's sword disintegrated. He looked at it and laughed. Vegeta flew at him and delivered a kick! Janemba dodged, maneuvered underneath him and attacked with a roundhouse kick. Vegeta narrowly dodged and threw a ki blast at him. Janemba warped while cackling, dodging the attack. Vegeta was confused, but managed to block an incoming kick from Janemba. He was going to strike again, but stopped when Janemba warped again. He threw a ki blast fast enough to hit Janemba, so Janemba flew out of another portal. Vegeta flew at him, ready to punch him, but Janemba used his arm to grab Vegeta by the throat. "Vegeta!" Gohan yelled as he kicked Janemba in the back of the head, making him lose his grip. He instantly turned Super Saiyan 2 to deal with the coming threat. Janemba fired a green blast from his mouth at Gohan, but Gohan used Instant Transmission to teleport behind him and punch him in the back. Vegeta came flying in, trying to ram himself into Janemba from the front. Janemba reacted by warping the last second, making Vegeta ram into Gohan instead. Janemba warped behind the two, punching them far away. Gohan and Vegeta managed to recover, and they flew at Janemba again. "Raaaaah!" They both screamed as they flew at Janemba. Janemba warped again, and Gohan predicted where he was going by firing a Kamehameha at the air. Janemba was hit, and knocked back into where he originally was. Vegeta took this opportunity to kick Janemba, but then, he got serious. The kick didn't faze him this time. Janemba grabbed his foot and smashed Vegeta on the ground before spinning him around, tossing him at Gohan. "SOMEBODY USEFUL GET IN MY WAY!" Vegeta yelled as he flew. "What the-Dah!" Gohan said as Vegeta was rammed into him. Vegeta managed to recover first, kicking off of Gohan to fly at Janemba. He threw a fist at Janemba, but was quickly halted in front of Janemba's face. Want to guess what he did? He had kicked Vegeta in the dick. Vegeta let out a high pitched scream. Then Janemba punched him away. Gohan happened to appear where Vegeta was flying and caught him. "Are you alright, Vegeta!?" Gohan asked. Janemba warped his foot. "No, I'm not you-" Vegeta said before the warped foot kicked him in the dick again. Vegeta screamed in pain. As he was screaming, Janemba blew the two up with a powerful blast. It was like watching a nuclear explosion. Janemba grinned and started to laugh. *** "This isn't working!" Old Kai yelled. "I don't understand, his power could be felt even from the World of the Kais. Why hasn't he unleashed said power!?" Supreme Kai asked. "Perhaps he is having trouble unleashing it..." Kibito said. *** Let's check back in on Equestria. "King Sombra has returned!" Cadence said. "On it!" Goten yelled. They were back at the Crystal Empire. Goten charged at King Sombra, who was desperately trying to get in the Crystal Empire. He cupped his hands together, charging a Kamehameha up. "HA!" He yelled as he blasted King Sombra. Well, he ded nao. "How many more are there!?" Twilight asked. "A lot!" Rainbow Dash said as she unleashed a lightning bolt on another Red Ribbon Army soldier. "What is Gohan doing!?" Twilight asked. "He might be having trouble!" Goten said. "No way." Twilight said. *** During that, the two just got beaten up like crazy off screen. They are having trouble. Janemba was slowly walking towards the two from far away. Gohan's shirts were very torn. Vegeta's spandex was incredibly torn. They were both panting. "He keeps kicking me in the dick... Why? Why does he keep kicking me in the dick!?" Vegeta asked. "Wait, I think I know how we can beat him!" Gohan said. "If you say hit him really hard, I swear to God, I will kick YOU in the dick!" Vegeta said. "That sounds like something my dad would say, but no. I have a new form..." Gohan said. "And you decided to NOT use that until now!?" Vegeta yelled. "I don't know how to get it again, thanks!" Gohan said. "Drat, this won't do. How did you get it in the first place!?" Vegeta asked. "Looking at a moon..." Gohan said. "A moon? Then look at this moon!" Vegeta said, spawning a power ball. He threw it sky in the sky, and it was an artificial moon now. "Look at that, it's a damn moon! Now, hurry up, I'll hold him off!" Vegeta yelled as he charged at Janemba. Gohan stared at the moon. 'Here we go again.' He thought. He could feel his power starting to increase. But this time, he wasn't growing. No, not this time. Gohan began powering up uncontrollably. Janemba grabbed Vegeta by the neck with his tail, choking him. He started laughing manically. Gohan's aura flared, he started screaming, and his power was rising dramatically. Even Vegeta was surprised. Janemba decided to throw Vegeta away, tossing him straight at the Mountain of Spikes. He could feel Gohan's power rising, so he needed to end this quickly. He fired a green blast from his mouth straight at Gohan. Janemba laughed as it got closer and closer. Suddenly, it was driven off course by a yellow ki blast. It was Pikkon, and he seemingly appeared in front of Gohan. "I can feel your true power unfold. It's incredible. I'm going to need to buy us some time, huh." Pikkon said. Gohan was enveloped in a golden sphere, and could not be seen. His screaming got louder, and hell began to shake. Even the realms covered in barriers felt him. Vegeta landed safely in the boner barricade. He did not become a pig bit on a stick, luckily. Anyway, he was shocked at this display of power. He was already shocked that Gohan was leagues ahead of him, but never would he imagine this kind of strength. Pikkon took off his weights. "Let's go!" He yelled as he charged at Janemba. Janemba was waiting for Pikkon to strike. Pikkon smirked as he got closer. "DISGUSTING FREAK!" He yelled. Janemba's face and chest was seemingly fried, and he recoiled in pain. Pikkon was about to strike with a punch, but Janemba warped away in time. Pikkon didn't know what just happened. Janemba warped behind Pikkon, and smashed his fists towards each other on Pikkon's head! It was painful, and it felt like his brain was being crushed. Gohan finally transformed. His aura was intense, and his look now different. He... Was a Super Saiyan 4. His shirt was gone for now. Most of his reacquired body hair was red, and his hair was black. His power was the strongest in all the galaxies! But, he had to end this quickly. His form won't last for long. Janemba let go of Pikkon in interest. Pikkon fell to the floor. "W-Wow, incredible..." He said before fainting. "I am neither a Super Saiyan nor a Super Saiyan 2! I am beyond that of a Super Saiyan! It's over Janemba, I've come for you!" Gohan said. Janemba grinned in response. Gohan lifted a hand up, and released some ki at Janemba. The force was so strong that Janemba was sent flying! Gohan teleported behind Janemba and kicked him into the sky. He teleported above him again, and knocked him down with an axe kick. Janemba screamed in pain as he collided with the grounds of hell. Gohan landed nearby, not even facing Janemba. But then he turned around like a badass. Janemba jumped out of the small crater he made and dashed at Gohan in desperation. He smashed his fist into his face to cause no pain to Gohan. He looked in fear. Then he felt something penetrate through his stomach and back. It was Gohan's own fist. Janemba yelled in pain, because why not? You could say Gohan fisted him. He pulled his hand out all at once, making Janemba recoil in pain. He then held his hand out. Janemba looked up at it in fear. "Goodbye, Janemba." Gohan said before he effortlessly blasted Janemba to oblivion. It was yellow. As the blast died down, you could see sparkles. Hell was brought back to normal. A young boy suddenly appeared, looking saddened. But he looked at Gohan, who stared back with a death stare. So he panicked and ran away in fear! Gohan couldn't help but chuckle. *** Old Kai jumped in cheers. "Yes! He did it!" He yelled. "Thank Beerus..." Supreme Kai said. "I suppose I shall go fetch Son Gohan?" Kibito asked. "Yes." Supreme Kai said. Kibito nodded before performing Instantaneous Movement. *** Goten threw a punch at Dodoria, but it disappeared instantly. Every single dead person went back to hell. "Gohan finally did it!" Twilight said. "Thank goodness." Celestia said. "It took him long enough!" Rainbow Dash yelled. Only a few lives were lost to the never ending soldiers of hell. Goten reverted back to base form and smiled brightly. 'Finally...' He thought. *** Gohan and Vegeta stood beside the Bloody Pond. They were normal again. "Thanks, Vegeta. It looks like you've helped me out again." Gohan said. "Pah! I'm only repaying a debt I had." Vegeta said. "That reminds me... What was that debt?" Gohan asked. Vegeta smirked. "You nearly killed yourself defending me from Cell. I owe you my gratitude." He said. "Oh. Never thought you would take that seriously." Gohan said. "It's the same from when I first came to Earth. Your dumbass father Kakarot spared me." Vegeta said. "I see..." Gohan said. "Now I'm stuck in hell, still helping you, a low class warrior out. Some Prince I am, hah!" Vegeta laughed. Gohan snickered. "That also reminds me... How did you die?" He asked. "Well, some random alien showed up. He was so familiar, I just can't put my finger on it. He was very eloquent, but at the same time brutal. He was too powerful for any of us." Vegeta said. "Oh..." Gohan said. "That bastard not only killed Bulma and Trunks, but erased them from existence!" Vegeta said. "That can happen?" Gohan asked. "It DID happen. I'm stuck with my pride being shattered by that monster. I know that only a few of us aren't gone. The Namekian and the other baldy. Forgot his name." Vegeta said. "Krillin?" Gohan asked. Vegeta nodded. "Yeah, that dickhead. There might be more I'm forgetting about, but I don't give enough of a shit to care. Anyway, it's about time for me to hit the highway to hell. It was nice seeing you again, Gohan." He said, surprising Gohan. The only other time when Vegeta even referred to him as Gohan was during the Cell Games. It was a sign of respect. "It was good to see you too, Vegeta. I'll be sure to tell my father what you've done for me." Gohan said. Vegeta laughed. "If you can. Sayonara, bitch!" He said as he turned into a spirit and disappeared. ***EPIC FORESHADOWING*** 'Classic Vegeta.' Gohan thought while smiling. *** Gohan was at the check in station. "Thank you very much, Gohan!" Yemma said. "It's nothing, really. I couldn't have done it without Vegeta." Gohan said. "Vegeta? You mean the jerk who kicked me in the balls before going to hell?" Yemma asked. "Uh... That sounds like something he'd do." Gohan said. "Oh well. He's not as bad as that guy who came and erased a few souls from existence." Yemma said. "Who did he erase?" Gohan asked. "I forget, but there was about five, maybe six." Yemma said. 'Wait... So a few are left if he destroyed them.' Gohan thought. "Can I see some people in heaven?" Gohan asked. "Well, it is unorthodox, but since you've saved us all, I'll let it slide." Yemma said. "Thanks!" Gohan said as he ran into heaven. Author's Note So I managed to make this in two days. I'm shitting my pants, holy shit. Anyway, after over 50 chapters, Gohan's finally meeting his past. Oh, I should add the power levels. Vegeta - 1,300,000,000 SSJ - 65,000,000,000 SSJ2 - 130,000,000,000 Fatty Janemba - 350,000,000,000 Super Janemba - 20,000,000,000,000 And SSJ4 Gohan's like a 240,000,000,000,000,000.
Meeting the Past..."Heaven is not what I imagined it to be... Eh, close enough." Gohan said to himself. Heaven was a wonderland full of flowers, puppies and everything you can imagine! He started to walk around the infinite flowers. He looked around to see many other dead people, but he was trying to find the ones he actually knew. Sensing them wasn't easy, especially since there's a ton of dead people and he hasn't seen his past friends in a while. To them it was several years, but only a few for Gohan. "Come on, Marron!" A familiar voice said. 'Now I KNOW who that is!' Gohan thought as he ran towards it. But when he got to the person, he couldn't recognize him. He was carrying a baby girl with blond hair. And he himself had a ton of hair. "18, do you want to play with her now?" He asked. "Fine." A familiar woman said. The guy handed the baby girl over to the woman. "Krillin?" Gohan asked. Krillin turned around. "Gohan!?" He asked. "Hey! It's been too long! I barely recognized you with all that hair!" Gohan said. "It's been over seven years! You haven't changed a bit!" Krillin said. "S-Seven years? It's only been about two." Gohan said. "What are you going on about?" Krillin asked. "Let's change the subject- How are you?" Gohan asked. "I'm great! Well, except that I died. Speaking of which, did you die? Your clothes are really messed up." Krillin asked. "No, but I came pretty close to more than once. How'd you die?" Gohan asked. "Some monster came to the Earth and killed us all! Vegeta didn't stand a chance." Krillin said. "Yeah..." Gohan said. "So, how've you been?" Krillin asked. "Ever since I left Earth, I've been great! Made new friends, defending a planet from evil, you know, good stuff. I'm still grateful that you helped me." Gohan said. "Krillin, who is this?" The woman asked. "Oh, this is Gohan, the one who defeated Cell!" Krillin said, turning to Gohan. "This is my wife, Android 18!" He said. "You married one of the androids?" Gohan asked. "And well, we had a kid." Krillin said, blushing. "R-Really!? How!?" Gohan asked. "18 used to be a human, you know. Dr. Gero only remodeled her, so we could still reproduce." Krillin said. "Yeah, this is Marron." 18 said unenthusiastically. Marron tried reaching over to Gohan. "Hello Maron!" Gohan said. "It's Marron." 18 said with a death stare. "If you get it wrong again, I'll kill you." She said grimly. "R-Right, sorry. Marron." Gohan said. "So, what're you doing in heaven if you're not dead?" Krillin asked. "I had to take care of a villain." Gohan said. "Wait, were you that immense power we felt?" Krillin asked. "I guess." Gohan said. "Whoa! That was beyond everything I've felt! You've sure gotten strong! I've slacked off too much, jeez!" Krillin said. Gohan chuckled. "Hey, do you know where some of the others are? Like my mother?" He asked. "You want to talk to Chi Chi?" Krillin asked, astonished. "Yeah." Gohan said. "I don't know where she is." He lied. "I know your brother Goten is alive." He said. "Yeah, I know. He escaped to where I escaped to." Gohan said. "Really? That's great! How is he?" Krillin asked. "Surprisingly old and surprisingly happy." Gohan said. "Surprisingly old? What is he, 20?" Krillin asked. "He was about six when I saw him, even though he wasn't born when I was on Earth only a few years ago!" Gohan said. "Oh. That's... Weird. You've been gone for over seven years." Krillin said. "I guess in my world time moves slower." Gohan said. "I guess. I know Piccolo's around here somewhere, and I don't know where Tien and Yamcha are... Bulma and Trunks... I don't know either." Krillin said. "I heard from Vegeta." Gohan said. "Oh. Sorry. Well, it was great seeing you again, Gohan. It's also great that you're doing well." Krillin said. "It's great to see you too. See you!" Gohan said as he flew up to find Piccolo from above. "Bye Gohan!" Krillin said. 'Okay, now, where can I find Piccolo...' Gohan thought. 'I hope he doesn't get the bad news about Goku...' Krillin thought. Then Gohan realized where he could find Piccolo. *** Piccolo was in a secluded location meditating. Specifically, beside a river. The stream was perfect for meditation. Beside him were some plateaus covered in moss. He sat in midair beside the river. Somebody landed beside him, ruining his meditation. He looked over his shoulder in surprise. "Hey, Piccolo." Gohan said. "Gohan?" Piccolo asked in surprise. "It's been a while..." Gohan said. "...Why did you visit me?" Piccolo asked, standing. "I wanted to see you again... Even though... Well, you know." Gohan said. "Y-You... Huh?" Piccolo asked. "I-Is that a surprise?" Gohan asked. "It is. Your power rose dramatically. Yet you look like you haven't aged a day." Piccolo said. "It's a very long story." Gohan said. "So why did you want to come talk to me?" Piccolo asked. "I really want to make up with you... Well, if you want to." Gohan said. "Over something you didn't really do?" Piccolo joked. "What?" Gohan asked. "Goku." Piccolo said. "Uh... Yes." Gohan said. "Forget that, I should be apologizing to you, kid. You're too nice." Piccolo said, grinning. "I haven't had that one thrown at me for a while." Gohan said. "Anyway, I'm sorry, kid. I shouldn't have done anything I did to you. And it would mean a lot to me if you happened to forgive me for that." Piccolo said, taking his head weight off. Gohan smiled brightly. He had his big green dad back! I-I mean, his first best friend back! "Why wouldn't I!?" Gohan asked. Piccolo was a bit surprised, but he also expected it. Goku's pure heart would definitely pass on to his kids. "Thanks, Gohan." Piccolo said. "So, how was life since I left?" Gohan asked. "Well, soon after I put a hole in you, we all realized how horribly we had treated you. Seriously, we ALL did. You have a few people to talk to." Piccolo said. "Mom, Tien, and Yamcha, right?" Gohan asked. Piccolo had to choose his words wisely. "Chi Chi is gone, but she'll be back. She and Goku... Went somewhere." Piccolo said. He wasn't really lying... Except for the being back part. "Oh. Did they go on another honeymoon or something?" Gohan asked. "Goku did say something like that. Speaking of which, are you dating or something? Are you in school? What about your new friends and family?" Piccolo asked instantly. "Wow... That was quick. I'm not dating, nor do I really have an intention yet. I'm not in school, but I'm studying and planning to go, and my new friends are amazing." Gohan said. Piccolo smiled. "Good for you. It's an honor to even see you again." He said. "I'm honored to be your friend again. As my friends say, Friendship is magic. Literally, too." Gohan said. "Magic? My clothes beam is magic. Friendship is magic?" Piccolo said while suppressing laughs. "It's pretty strong, but compared to us it's not much. I can tell you've been training rigorously." Gohan said. "Heh. That's another thing I've done since you left. Bulma started making extra powerful gravity machines. I know Goku took one to you." Piccolo said. "So he DID visit you!" Gohan said. "He told us how well you were doing. He didn't tell us much, but he told us you were as happy as ever." Piccolo said. "So, what else happened?" Gohan asked. The two started to sit down and talk. Talk like they did around a campfire years ago, when Gohan trained under Piccolo. "Well, we dealt with the wizard Babadi. He had the demon king Dabura under his grasp, and it was a real challenge. The Supreme Kai warned us beforehand about them. They would come to Earth to resurrect, or resummon Majin Buu. Since he warned us, we all got together. We barely stood a chance. Dabura was stronger than I thought, and I thought I was a demon king. Good thing was, Vegeta managed to go Super Saiyan 2 and blast them to oblivion before Majin Buu was released. We used the Dragon Balls to remove Majin Buu from existence forever." Piccolo said. "Good!" Gohan said. "What about you? What kind of weird adventures have YOU gone through?" Piccolo asked. "As soon as I landed in my new world, Equestria, I was instantly up against someone. Or, pony, actually. The world's inhabitants are ponies, griffons, dragons, and many more weird creatures that could talk. She was known as Nightmare Moon, and she was barely a challenge, even in my weakened state. Six other ponies tried stopping me, saying: 'You wouldn't stand a chance against Nightmare Moon!'" Gohan said. *** "And then, my dad swooped in and saved me before Discord could end me!" *** "Seriously, she has reality warping powers!" *** "And then, I was in a world full of humanized ponies! They were all humans!" Gohan said. "Did you think any of them were cute?" Piccolo joked. "No, I didn't think any of them were cute." Gohan said. *** "She was definitely stronger than me in my base form, but Super Saiyan made it a joke. I wasn't going to finish her off, but I wanted her to realize that you can't always win alone. You need friends, and you can't just step on others to climb to the top! You'll fall down eventually, like she just did." *** "And then, Bojack came! It was a disaster, I barely stood a chance! Luckily, I finally turned Super Saiyan 2, and beat them all!" *** "Tirek was a monster. He and Discord managed to trap me and steal my Super Saiyan power!" *** "And that's why my power dramatically increased. I went through a few zenkai boosts, and I even absorbed the Super Saiyan power!" *** "The Dazzlings were a joke, but thy were able to tear everyone apart with their music. They tried to use me, but it didn't work!" *** "This crazy pony, Starlight Glimmer, tried stealing everyone's Cutie marks! All part of a 'perfect society,' or something. She's given up her old ways, and we're best friends now. She thought I had a cutie mark! And she wasn't too powerful for a unicorn proficient in magic." *** "The Anon-A-Miss incident was just weird. Everyone turned on Sunset! They all thought she backstabbed them, but I stayed at her side. I got proof and evidence that the culprits were someone else! I honestly think she likes me, but I'm not too sure about it. The real culprits, Applebloom, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo fessed up." *** "Goten came! It was a HUGE surprise. Like, really huge! I didn't even realize! He was six years old! Six! I was only gone for two, what the heck! He was even a Super Saiyan! It took me, Vegeta, Dad, Trunks and such years to master it! He just did it at random! But he didn't know ki. Did it backwards, go figure." *** "Oh boy, this world's Twilight was a real hoot. She became power hungry, and starting tearing through dimensions! She was known as Midnight Sparkle! Goten managed to get the remaining magic Sunset had, and he blasted Midnight Sparkle with it, putting a huge hole in her stomach. *** "So I taught them ki, and they're getting better." *** "I'm a godfather! Can you believe it? A princess wanted me to be the godfather. The name of the baby is Flurry Heart, and she's an alicorn baby! She blasted me so hard that I got my tail back, see?" Gohan asked, showing his tail to Piccolo. "You got it back? Did you..." Piccolo asked. "Yeah, I turned into the great oozaru. But, something good came from it! Except me destroying a few things. I got a new form!" Gohan said. "A new form? What, Super Saiyan 3?" Piccolo asked. "I don't know if it's a Super Saiyan form, but it's much more powerful than Super Saiyan 2." Gohan said. *** "And Vegeta saved me from certain death!" *** "And here we are now." Gohan ended. That was a long-ass story, fuck! "Well, you've certainly had fun." Piccolo said. "And now I'm happier than ever! We're friends again!" Gohan said. "Yeah, kid. Well, it's been fun, but you have a world to get back to." Piccolo said. "I have to go see Tien and Yamcha, first. I can come back with Instant Transmission now." Gohan said. "Really?" Piccolo asked. "Yeah! I'll be sure to come back." Gohan said. "You better tell me your stories." Piccolo said, standing up. "Yeah, I will." Gohan said, standing up. "Bye, Piccolo!" He said as he flew away. Piccolo waved. *** Gohan searched for two others now. Tienshinhan and Yamcha. He was gonna give them a biiig hug if they still liked them. If he could find them, that is. I mean, he did! First up was Tienshinhan. He was training, by practicing his attacks. Gohan landed nearby. "Hey Tien!" He said. Tienshinhan looked to his side. "Gohan? Is that you?" He asked. "Yep!" Gohan said. "Y-You're not dead, are you?" Tienshinhan asked. "No. I came to talk to you." Gohan said. "Is it for an apology from me?" Tienshinhan asked. "Well, kind of, but... I wouldn't know how to describe it, I just want to be friends again." Gohan said. Tienshinhan smiled. "I'd be happy to. I'm not happy about what I've done." He said. "Well, are you happy to forget all about it?" Gohan asked. "And I believe someone else would be happy as well. Yamcha!" Tienshinhan called. A long haired individual appeared out of nowhere. "Yo! Gohan, it's been a while." Yamcha said. "Y-Yamcha!? You look so... Young again!" Gohan said, surprised. "You haven't aged a bit!" Yamcha said. "I am growing! It's only been two years, okay!?" Gohan asked. "It's been over seven..." Tienshinhan said. "Not in my world. Anyway, it's great to see you all again!" Gohan said. They both nodded. "We're glad to see you too. Now, we'll be resuming our training." Tienshinhan said. "Yeah, I'm not about to let Tien get too far ahead of me!" Yamcha said. Gohan chuckled. "Okay, you two. Have fun!" He said, flying away. *** Now, Gohan was searching his for father, Goku. Well, where he and his mother were on their honeymoon or whatever. Well, at the same time, he was looking for his mother, but his focus was mainly on Goku. He couldn't sense Goku... 'Where did dad go!?' He thought. He went past Snake Way, traveled to Grand Kai's planet, traveled all over Other World, and still, no signs of Goku. Holy shit, he searched everywhere. He even asked King Yemma, but nope! Even the Supreme Kai didn't have an answer. Well, the interaction was hilarious. *** The Supreme Kai was drinking tea and relaxing.... Then Gohan just appeared out of nowhere. "Supreme Kai, I need to know where my dad is!" He said. The Supreme Kai just fell off his chair. "Warn me next time you get here!" He yelled. "S-Sorry." Gohan said. "And I don't know where your father is... I wouldn't know!" Supreme Kai said, getting up. "Really? What about that crystal ball over there? Didn't that somehow see me?" Gohan asked. "It has limitations!" Supreme Kai said. (You know what? imma just call him Shin from now on.) *** He eventually gave up, and made his return to Equestria. The good thing was, he could use Instant Transmission to Equestria and back now. He's going to search for Goku again later. So, he's back in Equestria. He teleported to the throne room in Twilight's castle. "Well it's about time!" Rainbow Dash yelled. "What happened?" Goten asked. "You look like you've been through a real fight." Twilight said. "Yeah, Super Saiyan 2 wasn't enough this time." Gohan said. "What?" Applejack asked. "Where's your sword?" Rarity asked. "Broken." Gohan said. "Commander Hurricane's sword is broken?" Rainbow Dash asked. "D-Did you go that scary giant ape form?" Fluttershy asked. "Well, I didn't turn into the great oozaru, but I went-" "-Super Saiyan 4?" Pinkie interrupted. "For the last time, Pinkie, he has to go 3 before going 4!" Twilight said. "His dad already went Super Saiyan 3! It makes his hair super long and his eyebrows go away!" Pinkie retorted. "Seriously, I tried finding my dad in heaven, and he wasn't there. Even if I found him, he would probably say he didn't go Super Saiyan 3." Gohan said. "You went to heaven?" Goten asked. "I fought a guy in hell with two dead people." Gohan said. "Oh heck yeah! Gohan went to hell and back!" Rainbow Dash said. "Language, you two!" Rarity scolded. "S-Sorry." Gohan said. "Wow! That's so cool!" Goten said. "I even saw Vegeta there, Goten." Gohan said. "Really? Did you see Trunks?" Goten asked. Now, Gohan had to carefully answer. "No, I couldn't. He and Bulma are pretty busy right now. But, I can take us up there to see them sometime." Gohan said. "Wait, you can go to heaven... When you're not dead...?" Twilight asked. "I don't get it either, my dad used to do it all the time." Gohan said. "Did you see some of your past friends?" Twilight asked. "Yeah, I did!" Gohan said. "So, how did it go?" Rarity asked. "Great! We all made up!" Gohan said. "Anything else?" Goten asked. "Yeah! Also, you look exactly like dad, so don't be surprised if you see a bigger you." Gohan said. "Okay!" Goten said. "Great! I need a senzu. And then I'm-" Gohan said before his stomach rumbled. "Yeah, you know what that means." Gohan said. Then Goten's stomach rumbled. "That makes two of us!" Goten said. Then everyone laughed. Author's Note Gohan still dunno about Goku. Will the dead ones make a return? Probably. Okey dokey, I'm off to have a huge migraine. Have a good day.
Gohan and Goten's Life through Season 6Season 6 was just great, hah! First off, teaching the Humane 7 flight. Oh, and seeing his tail, I guess. *** The Humane 7 were waiting for Gohan to arrive, as usual. Training was getting them pumped. Especially this one, since- You already know. "You better not use your flight to prank people, Rainbow." Sunset said. "No promises. This is gonna be so awesome!" Rainbow Dash said. "I won't need to use the bus!" Twilight said. "I thought I knew humans until I saw Gohan." Spike said. "And we thought we knew dogs until we met you, Spike." Applejack said. "Good point." Spike said. Then Gohan came through the portal. With a new look, too. Piccolo's gi! Even with the cape over the extremely weighted pads! As a Super Saiyan, too. "Hey guys." He said. "Yo!" Rainbow Dash said. "What are you wearing!?" Sunset asked, trying to contain her laughs. "Is this your attempt at being a superhero?" Rarity asked in between giggles. The Humane 7 had to admit, it was hard not to laugh. "No, it's the getup my first teacher, Piccolo wears." Gohan said. "That's a corny getup. And it's purple!" Rainbow Dash said. "I don't call your band dresses corny." Gohan retorted. "He does have a fair point." Rarity said. "Then can you remove the cape?" Pinkie asked. "Is it really that bad?" Gohan asked. "Yes." Everyone said. Gohan sighed as he removed the weight. "This was really nostalgic for me, but I guess it's not something to wear around others." Gohan muttered. He spun it around to wrap itself. "Are you gonna keep the blond?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Actually, not today." Gohan said, reverting back to base form, and he dropped it on the fucking ground. And he fucking cracked it. For a scholar, he's a dumbass. Oxymoron, I know. "Uh oh..." Gohan said. "Oh come on, how heavy is THAT one?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Same as my dad's gi." Gohan said, picking it up again. "How did you even get that?" Twilight asked. "Clothes beam." Gohan said. "Clothes beam?" Everyone asked. "Another time." Gohan said. Then they noticed the tail. "What's that?" Pinkie asked. "This?" Gohan asked, raising his tail. "It's my tail." He said. ... "SCIENCE!" Twilight yelled as she lunged forward. "Whoa, whoa!" Gohan said as he flew up. "I need to study it!" Twilight yelled as she desperately reached up to Gohan. "Another time!" Gohan said. "Aw!" Twilight moaned. "Twilight, he'll indulge another time!" Sunset said. "I'm just as much of a nerd as you are, Twilight. I want to become a scholar too, and maybe study my tail, but another time." Gohan said. "Besides, he can tell us about it another time!" Rainbow Dash said. "Fine!" Twilight said, crossing her arms and sitting on the steps. "Speaking of scholar, do any of you know how I can go to school here?" Gohan asked. "Well, you need to the principal's office and ask: 'Principal Celestia? Can I please, please, PLEASE go to school here with two scoops of vanilla ice cream sprinkles peanuts and goober berry sauce?'" Pinkie said. "Pinkie." Everyone said. "With a cherry on top?" Pinkie asked before smiling. "Ignore all that. You just have to ask Principal Celestia." Sunset said. "She'll let you pass no problem. Maybe you'll take placement tests, and you can go to whatever grade you end up in." Rainbow Dash said. "Ah. Thank you." Gohan said. "Where's Goten?" Fluttershy asked. "He's off somewhere playing with his friends. I think he's fishing or something." Gohan said. "How's life?" Sunset asked. "It's the best! Apart from almost dying, I just reconciled with my past!" Gohan said. "Well, most of it." He added. "You reconciled with your past?" Rarity asked. "Wait, I'm confused." Twilight said. "You don't know the whole story, Twi." Applejack said. "In short he was betrayed by his past friends. That's why he's here." Sunset said. "But they suddenly forgave you?" Twilight asked. "That's the weird part! Apparently, time passes much slower in Equestria compared to Earth. It's been seven years to them." Gohan said. "Seven years!?" Everyone asked in surprise. "And that's not the worst part. They're all dead." Gohan said. ... "Why!?" Everyone asked. "Beats me. Even they don't know what killed them. All I know is that my brother escaped his wrath." Gohan said. "Wait... If they're dead, how did you talk to them?" Pinkie asked. "In short, I had to go to hell to fight a villain, and Super Saiyan 2 wasn't enough. He even broke my sword!" Gohan said. "Wait... You went to hell? Did you beat the guy?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Uh, yeah. I had an old friend help me. I turned-" "-Super Saiyan 4!?" Pinkie interrupted. "For Kami's sake, why do you keep calling it that!?" Gohan asked. "Because it is!" Pinkie said. "Uh... What is this Super Saiyan 4?" Sunset asked. "Sounds cool. Even though you skipped 3." Rainbow Dash said. "How do I even know about it?" Pinkie asked. "First off, I really don't think it's called Super Saiyan 4. It exists because I have my tail again. The power was Super Saiyan 2 on steroids times ten." Gohan said. "That sounds like a hefty boost." Sunset said. "Can you show us?" Fluttershy asked. "I'd rather not." Gohan said. "What? But why!?" Pinkie whined. "Fluttershy would call me a scary monster if she saw it and I'd also tear up this place just trying to transform." Gohan said. "Oh. That makes sense." Twilight said. "Okay. How was life here?" Gohan asked. "We're going on a camping trip sometime when summer vacation happens! In like, nine months... You wanna come with us?" Pinkie asked. "Sure. I think Goten would like to go too." Gohan said. "Perfect!" Twilight said. "Now, are we ready for training?" Gohan asked. "Yeah, I'm ready to fly!" Rainbow Dash said, saluting. *** The nine (including the dog) were on the empty soccer field. "It's funny to me how whenever we train, the soccer field happens to be empty." Gohan said. "That's because I'm the captain. I can call off meetings and practices whenever I want." Rainbow Dash said. "Oh. That makes sense, I guess. Okay, now... Show me how you've all improved in ki." Gohan said. Rainbow Dash cupped her hands by her side. "Kamehameha!" She yelled, firing... Well, I can say okay blast into the sky. It was kind of like the real thing, it was just a regular blast. It was amplified a bit, so it kind of passes? It was also blue instead of yellow, so it passes. "Good job." Gohan said. Pinkie Pie was next, and oh boy, she was ready to show off. She threw a pink ki blast to the side, but actually managed to control it, so she started free styling with it. She made it come back to her, and she dodged it by jumping and doing a handstand with one hand. Bending one leg, she made the stuck up leg make yet another ki blast and bent both of them, sending the newly created ki blast flying. She stood on her two feet again, and made the two ki blasts smash into each other by clapping, destroying each other. She was not that winded. "Nice job! I liked the dancing." Gohan said. Then it was Sunset Shimmer to come up next. 'This'll surprise him.' She thought. She was gonna use something he used. She raised her hands up to her face, and pointed her fingers at her face. "Solar Flare!" She yelled, creating a pretty bright light. It wasn't as bright as Tienshinhan's first use for it, but let's say it was about a third as strong. The rest of the Humane 7 shielded their eyes. So did Gohan. He grinned. Sunset finally let the sunlight die down. Gohan finally looked again. "Nice job. Did you do it because of your name?" Gohan asked. "It's the exact opposite of what my name means." Sunset said. "That wasn't a shimmer, that was a really strong flash of light! That must've taken over 174,000,000,000,000,000 watts!" Twilight said. "How do you know that!?" Rainbow Dash asked. "I'm guessing that's how many watts the Sun takes to emit light to this planet, correct?" Gohan asked. "Correct!" Twilight said. "You two are just... Too nerdy. You two are perfect for each other." Rainbow Dash said. Sunset gave Rainbow Dash a death stare. "Nah." Gohan said, making Sunset stop. Rarity was next. She was pretty much going to do what Pinkie did but with a stronger ball. She made an upwards facing open palm, and wrapped her other hand around the arm for support. She focused her ki into a strong blue ball into her hand. Now, Rarity didn't need to use the other hand for support. She needed it to guide the ball. So, she started pointing it at Gohan. The ball darted at him at an alarming speed. But, suddenly, it changed course. It darted to the left, straight at Fluttershy, who cowered so much she ducked. The ball darted to the right of her, straight at... nothing. Then she made it fly everywhere, making her hands fly everywhere. It went all around the girls. Rarity started panting and sweating. Eventually she ended it by slamming it into the ground, killing the ball. "How... Was... That....?" She asked in between pants. "Great!" Gohan said. Next up was Applejack. She did the same as Rainbow Dash, but didn't yell Kamehameha. She didn't yell at all. Also she didn't cup her hands to charge it up. "Good, good." Gohan said. Now it was Twilight's turn. "Now, I've been practicing, but this is the best I can do." She said. She produced many minor ki blasts and started to blast them everywhere. Her friends were constantly dodging the barrage... Well, except Gohan. The aim of her attack was not the best. Eventually she got too exhausted and sat down on the ground, panting. "Good job, Twilight." Gohan said, helping her stand up. Finally, it was Fluttershy. Needless to say, nobody expected her ki. She put her hands together in front of her, forming an O with all her fingers. She bent her knees. Gohan tried remembering which technique she's using... Because it was very familiar. Fluttershy was charging up pink ki in between her hands. And she was taking a lot of it. "Haaaaaaaaaaaaa........." She began to yell. Gohan could feel her power increase... Surpassing everyone else!? It was taking a few minutes... "Ugh, could she be any slower!? She's taking like, twenty hours." Rainbow Dash said. "It's been five minutes." Twilight said. "It's called hyperbole, egghead." Rainbow Dash said. "I'm surprised you're correcting me with such expanded vocabulary." Twilight said. "Currently, her ki blast is stronger than all of you. This is interesting." Gohan said. "What? That's crazy!" Pinkie said. Fluttershy's ki was at it's maximum now. "HRRAAAGH!" She yelled as she sprang her hands forward, smashing her wrists together and releasing the immense ki on Gohan. Gohan knew that if he let it blow up here, the soccer field would be ruined. So, he kicked it up into the sky! Fluttershy was panting, and fell to her knees. "Fluttershy!" Rainbow Dash said, helping her back up. "That was incredible! I didn't know you knew how to use your surroundings to form ki." Gohan said. "You mean the only way a machine can perpetually go?" Twilight asked. "Well, yes, I suppose, but the point is, she surpassed you all threefold." Gohan said. "What!?" Everyone asked. Even Fluttershy was surprised. "It's true. She charged up a ton of ki." Gohan said. "It took me half an hour to get it right the last time..." Fluttershy said. "You all are doing amazing. Sunset and Fluttershy were the most impressive. They learned something incredible all on their own. That doesn't mean Rarity and Pinkie don't get honorable mentions. The rest of you did great as well." Gohan said. "So... Can we fly yet?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Sure thing! You guys, even you, Twilight, are ready!" Gohan said. The girls started to cheer and stuff. "But we need to start exercising." Gohan said. Everyone booed and complained. "Oh come on, you all can see the improvement!" Gohan said. *** Everyone was doing push-ups. Yes, even Gohan, because it made them feel better. (Mostly because they didn't want him looking at the you know what. Even though he doesn't.) He was doing quick one arm push-ups while they did the two arm push-ups. Twilight finished early with 50 push-ups. They were all done, and taking a break sitting down. "Man, doing over two hundred push-ups... Never thought I could get this far." Rainbow Dash said. "Me neither..." Fluttershy said. "You see? This is progress. This is what training gets you!" Gohan said. "Yeah, but we can never get on your level." Sunset said. "Don't say that." Gohan said. "Well, it's true!" Pinkie said. "Yeah, you're a planet- Maybe galaxy buster!" Rainbow Dash said. "I wouldn't go THAT far..." Gohan said. "You constantly fight evil for TWO different worlds. You're like a soldier of war, but the only one!" Sunset said. "Well, Goten's here, and he's super strong." Gohan said. "Yeah, but you've been around for a while. I still don't understand why you didn't just end me instantly when I was a she-demon. Or Twilight, for that matter." Sunset said. "What do you mean? The only way you could actually be defeated was through magic, not my strength." Gohan said. Sunset got exactly what she wanted, she said something untrue and managed to get Gohan to lie. "You didn't even go Super Saiyan on me." Twilight said. "You were holding back on me too. You're a Super Saiyan 2, too." Sunset said. "You let Goten get the spotlight!" Rainbow Dash said. "Well... I..." Gohan said. He didn't have an answer. "We know you're humble, but you're on par with Fluttershy at this rate." Sunset said. "Oh... I don't know about that." Fluttershy and Gohan both said. "I actually have it in me to punch, she doesn't." Gohan said, trying to make Fluttershy seem better. "B-But I don't have it in me to stand up for my friends..." Fluttershy said, trying to make Gohan seem better. "What are you talking about? You stood by us to protect Twilight from Sunset!" Rainbow Dash said. "And it was pretty cool that you fought with us against the Dazzlings." Sunset said. "Don't doubt yourself. Nobody else at this school can actually hurt you now." Gohan said. "R-Really?" Fluttershy asked. "Each of you, except Twilight, are about as strong as my first teacher was when I was about four." Gohan said. "Really? That strong?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Where am I placed?" Twilight asked. "I know for sure you're about a sixth of everyone else, but you're catching up rapidly." Gohan said. "A few months of training got us this?" Sunset asked. "I could increase the pace with weighted clothes, if you want." Gohan said. "Yes please!" Pinkie said. "Next time, I'll be back with 20 kilogram weights for you all." Gohan said. "Are you going to increase it as time goes by?" Sunset asked. "Obviously." Gohan said. Rainbow Dash punched her palm. "I'm pumped for that!" She said. "Great! But let's learn how to fly, now." Gohan said. "Yay!" Everyone cheered. Everyone stood up. "It's finally time to try our first flight. Just use your energy inside you, and be careful!" Gohan said. Pinkie Pie was jumping up and down in an attempt to fly, while everyone else was just on their toes, concentrating as hard as they could. This wouldn't get them to fly... "Uh... Pinkie, flying and hopping and two different things." Gohan said. Pinkie stopped jumping. "Well what do you want me to do?" Pinkie asked. "Use your energy... Remember that, don't just concentrate." Gohan said. Suddenly, there was a wind emanating from Fluttershy. The other girls stopped to watch. Fluttershy's hair stood up. She started to grunt as she slowly lifted herself up in the air. Gohan smiled. "Yeah, that's it!" He said. "Reall- AH!" Fluttershy said as she fell flat on her bottom. "Oh... Sorry... I must've broken your concentration..." Gohan said. "She already got it? Come on..." Rainbow Dash said. Gohan helped Fluttershy back up. "Try that again, but don't focus so hard." He said. Then, Pinkie was flying! "Like this, Gohan?" She asked. "Yeah, you got it!" Gohan said. Pinkie started flapping her arms around. "I'm a little birdie! Yay!" She said. "N-Not so high!" Gohan said. "Aw, don't worry!" Pinkie said. He had every single bit to worry about, she was 25 feet up in the air, and she just lost her flight, and she fell on the ground HEAD first! "Pinkie! Are you alright!?" Twilight asked. "See, you should've listened to me!" Gohan said. "Aw, its fine!" Pinkie said, rubbing her head as she sat up. Twilight helped her up. *** Everyone finally mastered flight. Well, except Sunset. She couldn't use her energy for some reason. Even Twilight managed to do it, come on! Rainbow Dash and Pinkie were playing air tag while flying, Twilight was practicing and everyone else was on the ground. "Can you explain it a little deeper!?" Sunset asked. "Okay, let's just start from the beginning. Feel the energy from your stomach, and slowly bring it out. Relax your muscles. It's easy, it's kind of like using your imagination." Gohan said. Sunset was sweating... But she managed to get some wind. She stared to grunt loudly. "Is she doing it yet?" Rainbow Dash asked as she was being chased by Pinkie. Sunset's hair stared to fly up, and so did her jacket. "You have the energy, Sunset. Now, push it upwards!" Gohan said, throwing his hands up. Sunset managed to finally get it! She slowly levitated off the ground! She was about 6 inches up. "Yeah! You got it!" Gohan said. "I'm trying to concentrate!" Sunset retorted. Gohan was going to hush. Sunset focused a little... too hard. She accidentally sent her energy forward, making her smash into Gohan head first quickly. He didn't fall over, but he gave Sunset a big headache. "Ow!" Sunset said, sitting on the ground and rubbing her head. "Are you alright!?" Gohan asked. "Yeah, I'll be fine, ugh!" Sunset said, holding back a few tears. Smashing into Gohan was like smashing into a hard rock. "Why are you as hard as a rock!?" She asked. "If you smashed into a rock you would've destroyed it." Gohan said. *** Well, now they're flight masters. Not really, but good. Anyway, now he and Goten are going to CHS! For some placement exams! It's not how it works but I don't see it happening any other way. *** So, it was an early morning. Gohan and Goten came through the portal. And with the original father gi. (Gohan's in his father's gi for the rest of the chapter) "So, ready to go to school?" Gohan asked. "We're at the school." Goten said. "I meant are you ready to learn." Gohan said. "Oh. Yeah, I am!" Goten said. Nobody was at school except for the teachers. The two entered the school and went towards the principal's office. Gohan knocked very lightly. "Come in." Celestia said. The door opened, and the two walked into the room. "Son Gohan? What brings you here? And so early?" Celestia asked. "Hello Principal Celestia. My brother and I wanted to get an education here." Gohan said. "You want to go to school here?" Celestia asked. "Yep!" Goten said. "Okay, please, take a seat." Celestia said, gesturing at the two seats in front of her. They sat down. Celestia reached into a drawer and grabbed a file. "I need to get some personal info about you two and have you take a placement test. The reason being, the Academic Decathlon. You boys have great potential, and I won't just put you two in grades specific to your ages." Celestia said. "Okay." Gohan said. "Okay, can I get an address of where you two live?" Celestia asked. "I don't think I can provide that... I could give you the address of our old home on another planet." Gohan said. "That's right... You're from another world... I'll just take that." Celestia said. "58N 018, 439 East District, Mount Paozu." Gohan said. Celestia wrote it down. "That's in the other Equestria, correct?" Celestia asked. "No." Gohan said. "Wait... You're not even from the other world?" Celestia asked. "We're from other planets, yes." Gohan said. "Oh, okay. A bit of a surprise, but that's alright. Now, what are your ages?" Celestia asked. "I'm six!" Goten said. "I'm thirteen." Gohan said. Celestia wrote it down. "Okay... Now, what can we add as emergency contacts?" She asked. "Emergency contacts?" Gohan and Goten asked. "Do you two have a cell phone?" Celestia asked. The two shook their heads. Celestia looked at the sheet... "Eh, you won't need any contacts. You two are superpowered." She said. "I mean, you could just give it to Sunset Shimmer. She's the only one with a way to contact us on the other side." Gohan said. "Okay, I'll put her in." Celestia said. And then there was more birthday stuff, and etc etc. Now, placement test time! The two were placed in the library to take the test. And they started to take it. Gohan just flew right through it. Goten was good, but some things he didn't understand. By the end of it, they received their placement. It was the end of the day. Gohan was placed in the same grade as the Humane 7, 11th grade. (I don't know, okay?) And Goten was placed in 6th grade. Same grade as the human CMC... Chi Chi raised them well... Except Gohan wholly, but whatever. *** Celestia led Gohan and Goten to their new lockers the next day. "279 and 280. Huh. They're right next to the lockers of those girls you hang around." She said. "Really? That's great!" Gohan said. "Well, have a good day. And if you have any more questions, feel free to step in my office." Celestia said as she walked away. Gohan opened his empty locker. "What was the point of me doing that again?" He asked himself, closing the locker. "I dunno." Goten said. Then the Humane 7 were all walking their way. "What's Gohan and Goten doing here?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Let's go ask. Hey Gohan! Goten!" Sunset said, waving to them. "Hi!" Gohan said, waving back. Now they were all face to face. "What are you doing here?" Sunset asked. "We're going to school here!" Gohan said. ... "WHAT!?" Everyone asked. "You took the placement test!?" Sunset asked. "Yep! I'm in 11th grade, and he's in 6th." Gohan said. "You're in our grade!?" Twilight asked. "Why!?" Rainbow Dash asked. "I want to go to Marevard." Gohan said. "Great school, but why?" Sunset asked. "I've always wanted to be a scholar." Gohan said. "And Goten?" Pinkie asked. "I wanted to learn again!" Goten said cheerfully. "So... You're going to be here everyday? That's awesome!" Sunset said. "Yeah, but if something's happening in Equestria then we'll be late. Or absent." Gohan said. "But we'll be here most of the time!" Goten said. "Fabulous!" Rarity said. "Hey, if anything happens, we'll just send in the world's strongest bookworm!" Sunset said. "Hey!" Gohan said. "And I just wonder who'll get all the egghead awards at the award ceremony." Rainbow Dash said. "Hey!" Gohan and Twilight said. *** First class. Let's start with Gohan. He was going to science. "We have a review on cellular biology." Sunset said. "Crap, I forgot to study." Rainbow Dash said. "Aw! But cells are boring!" Gohan complained. "Agreement." Twilight said. He entered the class with his single pencil and pen, and sat down at an empty desk. The rest of the Humane 7 surrounded him. Rainbow Dash was doing some last minute studying. He saw the other taller students enter the room, and they were confused that a little kid was in their class. (He's actually 4' 2" or something lesser than that. Everyone else is like... 5' 4" or something.) "Class, settle down now." The female teacher said. Everyone sat down. "We have a new student. His name is... Gohan Son?" She asked. "S-Son Gohan." Gohan corrected. "This is a surprise... I know Vice Principal Luna said you were young, but you're tiny!" She said. "I know that." Gohan said. "And you aced the placement exam?" She asked. "That is correct." Gohan said. "How!?" Everyone in the class asked. "I'm homeschooled." Gohan said. "A-Anyway... I need to hand you these textbooks and notebooks for class." The teacher said. "But we have a review on cells today." She added. "I wanna take it!" Gohan said instantly. "A-Are you sure?" She asked. Gohan nodded. *** He aced the fucking thing. And was the first to finish. The teacher was just flabbergasted by Gohan, but paid no mind to it after the test. "He's going to be Twilight's rival at this rate, jeez!" She muttered *** For Goten, it played out like this. He was a six year old in a gym class full of ten and eleven year olds. Bulk Biceps was the gym teacher. (I'm making it up, I don't know who the hell the real one is.) "We have a new student, Son Goten." Bulk Biceps said. "Why is a five year old here?" Applebloom asked. "He passed the placement test. Today we're gonna play soccer, YEAH!" Bulk Biceps yelled, dropping the soccer ball to Goten's feet. "Uh... Make sure he go easy on him, 'Kay?" He whispered to a student. Everyone was waiting for him to kick it. And he did. INTO THE FUCKING SKY! "Did he just kick the ball into space?" Scootaloo asked. "I don't think it's in space." Goten said. "And what makes you say that?" Snips sneered. The ball crash landed in the field goal, putting a tiny dent in the ground. Surprisingly, it was still intact. "That." Goten said. *** Goten was in the hallway in front of the trophy collection. He was looking at the awards section. There was a trophy of him kicking a ball in a soccer uniform with all his might. "Huh. That was easy." Goten said. *** Now it was Gohan's turn... "We're going to play baseball, YEAH!" Bulk Biceps yelled. Gohan was first to bat. "Uh... You know that side of the plate is for lefties, right?" Bulk Biceps asked. "My good hand is my left hand, sir." Gohan said. "Well... Okay then." Biceps said. Flash Sentry threw the ball at Gohan... And it hit him right smack in the face. "Oh jeez, are you alright!?" Flash called. "Yeah, why?" Gohan asked. "Y-You were hit square in the face with a baseball!?" Rainbow Dash asked. "I thought I was supposed to?" Gohan asked. "You were supposed to hit the ball with the bat, YEAH!" Biceps yelled. "Oh." Gohan said. *** Now he was in the field, and he was CLEARLY instructed on how to play. So, he was waiting for that ball to fly. CRACK! The ball was high up. "A HOME RUN, YEAH!" Biceps yelled. Gohan fucking jumped high into the sky and caught it with his mitt. Everyone was shocked. Did I say shocked? I mean fucking shocked on steroids. And he landed gently. "How!?" Everyone asked. "He's that kid from the Friendship Games." Sunset said. "No wonder he's so good at this!" Bulk Biceps yelled. *** Gohan was batting again, and again, he was GOING to hit the ball. Applejack chucked that ball as hard as she could at Gohan. Gohan swung his bat... The ball was sent flying! And flying... And flying... Flying... "Oh look. It's gone." Gohan said. He tried looking for it with his expert sight, but it was just gone. Everyone, again, looked in utter shock. Well, the Humane 7 at this point weren't. *** Gohan was pitching! Rainbow Dash as the catcher, and Pinkie was up to bat. She was swinging it like crazy in preparation. "Hey! Do it as hard as you can!" Sunset yelled from the benches. "Are you sure!?" Gohan asked. "Go for it!" Rainbow Dash and Pinkie yelled. Gohan grinned as he turned Super Saiyan and wound up his arm. "WAIT GOHAN NO!" The group yelled. Too late, Gohan hurled that thing so hard it had it's own damn yellow aura. "TOO MUCH!" Rainbow Dash yelled as she tried catching the ball in the mitt. An explosion happened after the mitt touched the ball. "Crapbaskets!" Gohan yelled as he reverted back to base form and ran to the damage. "I'm okay!" Rainbow Dash yelled from the smoke that eventually died down. The ball was in the half burned mitt off of Rainbow Dash's hand. Speaking of whom, she was on the ground covered in muck. "S-Sorry..." Gohan said. "Don't sweat it! It only hurts a lot..." Rainbow Dash said. "Did that kid just turn blond all of a sudden?" Bulk Biceps asked. "I'm just as confused as you." Flash said. *** Now Fluttershy was the catcher. Rainbow Dash was on the bench with an ice pack. "Do it as slow as you can, okay!?" Sunset yelled. "Okay!" Gohan said. Gohan slowly wound up his arm, and lightly, and I mean very lightly threw the ball. ... Boy, I really meant lightly. The ball was moving .002 mile a day... And was still floating and spinning. It slowly trekked along the empty space. Everyone else fell on their back in an aneurysm. Gohan chuckled awkwardly. It took the rest of the period for the ball to even make it a tenth of the way... *** Gohan and Goten stood in front of the awards mirror. Now it was Gohan with a fucking trophy of his smashing a baseball with all his might with a bat. "You too, huh?" Goten asked. Gohan sighed. "Yep." He said. *** "Lunchtime!" Gohan exclaimed in the lunchroom. "Yay!" Goten said. The two grabbed a lunch tray and jam packed it! Three entrees, three desserts, three cartons of milk, three- Everything, okay? They sat down with the Humane 7. "So, how's your first day?" Sunset asked, sitting next to Gohan. "It's alright." Gohan said. "You made a ball perpetually move in mid air at the slowest pace possible! It still hasn't reached the plate yet!" Twilight said. "I heard Goten kicked a ball into the sky and it came back the other way." Applejack said. "How?" Goten asked. "Applebloom, my sister." Applejack said. "Coach Biceps was very happy with you two." Rainbow Dash said. "He didn't seem happy. Just surprised." Goten said. "No, he's happy. If you go past expectations, you'll get an A, guaranteed." Rainbow Dash said. "Is that why we suddenly all got As in his class?" Sunset asked. "Yeah, Gohan's training." Rainbow Dash said. "Speaking of whom, are you two going to live with just that?" Sunset asked. "I can live! My stomach isn't as big as his!" Goten said. "I can live, even though it's not enough. Next time I should pack us lunches..." Gohan said. "Let's dig in!" Goten said. The two brothers started wolfing their meals down. Gohan grabbed three apples at once and ate it all. Goten ate the fruit bowl quickly. "And the competition starts!" Pinkie yelled. "Shall we commentate?" Rarity asked. Gohan stopped for a moment. "No." He said before eating again. *** And that concludes day 1. The next morning... *** Gohan and Goten came through the portal with huge red tied cloths packed with stuff. The Humane 7 were all waiting. "So, how many books did you bring?" Twilight asked. "Books?" Gohan and Goten asked. "Isn't that what those huge red bags are full of?" Pinkie asked. "It's just lunch." Gohan said. "You packed yourselves lunches THAT big!?" Twilight asked. "You'll wipe out half a civilization with all the food you two eat in a day!" Applejack said. "That's an understatement, Applejack." Twilight said. *** I'm not going to do more unless it's an important event. And also, I know that's not how school works, but whatever. Spike having to challenge other dragons, heh. Gohan and Goten were a great use for that. *** "You need us to go with you to the Dragon Lands?" Gohan asked. Twilight, Rarity and Spike were visiting. They were outside his and Goten's little house. "Yeah, I need to get there!" Spike said as he scratched himself. "And we do need the protection." Rarity said. "Hey Goten! We're going to see dragons!" Gohan said. "Ooh! Ooh! I'm coming!" Goten yelled as he ran to Gohan. "Last time I beat up a few dragons." Gohan said. *** Well, now they're in the Dragon Lands. Twilight and Rarity were disguised as a rock while Gohan and Goten just hid. It wasn't a problem if they were caught, they couldn't be caught anyway. Spike was sitting on top of the 'rock.' The dragons from before, specifically Garble and his goons were coming. "Oh look! It's Sparkle Warkle!" Garble said. "Its Spike?" Spike said. "Are you sure your pony friends didn't give you a pony name?" Garble said. "Not all my friends are ponies. Some of them are aliens." Spike said. "Like that last guy who beat us up!? He's in for it the next time I see him!" Garble yelled. "Well, it was nice to see you too." Spike said. "I didn't say it was nice to see you! I don't like you." Garble said, shoving Spike off the rock. He sat on it himself, crushing the ponies inside. "Hey! That's my rock!" Spike yelled. "Then why aren't you sitting on it?" Garble taunted. Well, Gohan came in handy. Used ki to push him off. And used telepathy to get Spike on. "Hey, what the heck?" Garble asked. "See? Nature agrees with me." Spike said with a smirk. Then, the Dragon Lord, Torch emerged! 'He's not that powerful...' Gohan and Goten thought. "Dragons of Equestria, HEAR ME! I have been Dragon Lord for longer than many of you can remember! And my reign has been extraordinary!" Torch called. ... "AGREE WITH ME!" He demanded. The dragons all cheered from there. "Torch! Torch! Torch!" They all cheered. Then he got them to stop. "Who is that?" Spike asked. "It's Dragon Lord Torch, dummy." Garble said. "No, who is that next to him?" Spike asked. There's a smaller dragon next to Torch. "That's his daughter, Princess Ember. I wouldn't even look at her if I were you. Unless you want Torch to EAT you." Garble said. Spike gulped in fear. Gohan managed to move closer to Spike unnoticed. "He can't hurt you with us around." He whispered. Then he scooted back to where he was. "This is fascinating! Dragons are notoriously reckless, but they do whatever the Dragon Lord says!" Twilight said. "Unfortunately..." Torch called. "According to Dragon Law, it is time for me to step down! Sad, I know." He said. ... "BE SAD!" He yelled. The dragons all 'cried.' "This is why I have summoned you. To compete for the throne, in the Goblet of Fire!" Torch called. The dragons cheered. "Why are we doing this again?" Goten whispered. "Spike was glowing and he was summoned here by that dragon." Gohan whispered, pointing at Torch. "He doesn't seem all that strong to me." Goten said. "To everyone else, he is." Gohan said. "Plus, his power level's a little close to yours~." He sneered. "Yeah, but I'm still stronger!" Goten said. "Maybe it'll be even if you didn't go Super Saiyan." Gohan said. "Whomever has the strength and fortitude to retrieve this bloodstone scepter from the heart of the flame-cano will be crowned Lord of the Dragons!" Torch called, flinging said scepter into a volcano or something. There was an explosion, and the dragons were no longer glowing as a result. "When the scepter disappeared, the dragons stopped glowing! We are learning so much!" Twilight whispered, writing down notes. Rarity JUST happened to sneeze. "Uh... Excuse me." Spike said. "Ugh! You even sneeze like a pony!" Garble said. "The Gauntlet is dangerous, for I designed it myself! Only dragons with my ferocity, strength, and determination will be able to finish. We will gather at the cliff when the sun is at its peak!" Torch called. The dragons cheered. "I don't want to be Dragon Lord or dragon toast, and I stopped glowing, so let's sneak out of here!" Spike whispered. "Now hold on, Spike. This could be interesting." Gohan said. "Did you hear what I said?" Spike whispered. "And do you know who you're with?" Gohan asked. "Good point. But still." Spike whispered, starting to walk away. Torch noticed. "Where do you think YOU'RE going, little dragon!?" He called. Every other dragon stepped away from Spike. Luckily, Gohan and Goten were deep within the crevices of the rocks. "Oh, uh... Hiya Lordship! Uh... I was just going home!" Spike said. Torch lowered his head to Spike. "You don't get to leave unless I SAY you can!" He said. Ember landed beside Spike. "Dad, look at him. He's just a runt. Besides, he doesn't even want to compete. Let him go." She said, doing the shoo gesture. "He is rather tiny, heheh, I could squish him with my pinky claw!" Torch called. Spike chuckled nervously. "That wasn't a joke, it was a fact. When I want you to laugh, I will say, BE AMUSED!" Torch yelled. "Of course your Lordship! I guess I don't understand dragon customs! Another reason why I shouldn't compete." Spike said. "Very well, little dragon. I release you." Torch said. "Thank you! And thank you!" Spike said, pointing at Ember. Ember rolled her eyes. Spike started moving the 'rock' away. Ember flew towards the gauntlet, but her father caught her. "Where do you think YOU'RE going!?" He asked. "To prepare for the gauntlet." Ember said. "No you're not, you're not much bigger than that runt I just sent home!" Torch said. "But I'm smarter than most of these boulderheads and you know it!" Ember complained. "Being smart won't help you win this gauntlet, it was designed for a BIG, STRONG dragon to win, because it takes a big, strong dragon, TO LEAD! Besides... I SAID NO!" Torch yelled, blowing Ember away a few feet. "Ugh! I hate when he does that!" Ember said, flying away. The dragons were all talking to each other now. They were talking about what they would do when they win. And since Garble wants to get revenge on Gohan... He's gonna destroy Equestria. Equestria would be in danger if any of them won, actually. Spike was convinced that he had to compete! Well, they hadn't thought of Gohan and Goten just defending it. Like usual. *** The Gaunlet of Fire began! Spike started swimming towards Flame-cano Island! And Gohan was swimming him from underwater. So he was faster than the flyers. Goten was swimming the ponies with a barrier for oxygen, so unique perk that was. "How is that little shrimp swimming faster than we can fly!?" Garble asked. Spike was even avoiding all the Sea Monsters. But then, some dragon was knocked out of the sky! "He's gonna drown! Get him, Gohan!" Spike yelled. Gohan nodded slowly and he dove deep to grab said dragon. *** The five all waited for the dragon to regain consciousness on the island. Twilight and Rarity were hidden in seaweed while Gohan and Goten hid behind a rock. Spike removed the helmet to reveal... Ember? She coughed out water. "Princess Ember!" Spike said. "What do you think YOU'RE doing?" Ember sneered as she got up. "Only saving YOUR scales!" Rarity said, blowing her cover. "Did that seaweed just talk?" Ember asked as she walked over to the seaweed. She revealed the two ponies. "Ponies!? What are they doing here!?" Ember asked. "They're my friends! And you can come out, Gohan!" Spike said. Gohan and Goten stepped out. "Am I seeing two monkeys? And friends? Dragons don't DO friends." Ember said. "Well, this dragon does!" Spike said with pride. "Whatever. I don't care. As long as NONE of you get in my way. I have a gaunlet to win." Ember said, taking her helmet. "But your dad said-" "-I don't care about what my dad said! I'll show him and every dragon who thinks I'm just a little princess there are better things than being big and strong!" Ember interrupted. Gohan chuckled. Garble was flying overhead, and saw... The ponies and the Saiyans. Ooh... Did those Saiyans get his blood boiling. He dove down for them. "Incoming!" Gohan yelled. "I'll get you you stupid monkey!" Garble yelled. Ember quickly got her helmet on, while Spike cowered behind Gohan. Garble landed nearby. "It's time for payback, shrimp!" Garble yelled. "Hey buddy, guess what?" Gohan asked. "What?" Garble asked. "I was never here to begin with." Gohan said grimly, before instantly punching him in the face, temporarily blinding him with pain. "Ow, WHAT THE HECK!" Garble yelled. Ember was incredibly surprised by the speed and strength of the Saiyan. "Quick, lets hide!" Gohan whispered to his brother and the ponies. Twilight and Rarity just got the seaweed back on. As Garble finally got his sight back, he looked to see... Just Spike and Ember. "What the- Where did that monkey go!?" Garble asked. "What monkey? You just landed and fell over." Spike said. "Uh... Yeah, uh... You just dropped dead, man." Ember said in a 'man' voice. "What?... Gr... I smell ponies." Garble said, sniffing around. He sniffed Spike. "No, you're not the smell..." He said. Garble got REALLY close to the ponies, sniffing the seaweed! Ember swooped in. "Uh, yeah, it's me! I robbed a few ponies before I got here!" Ember said, stepping between him and the ponies. "Nice! I like your style. Have I met you before? You kind of look like..." Garble said. "My old neighbor! Uh, Sandy... Rockbeach!" Spike lied. "I've wasted enough time making small talk. Get it? Haha! Because you're too small to win this! I'm funny." Garble said, flying away. Ember took off her helmet, and the Saiyans stepped out again. "Okay, two questions. One, how did YOU knock a dragon down so quickly, and two, why did you cover for me? You could've had one less competitor." Ember said. "Don't underestimate Gohan. He's small, but he could've killed Garble back there!" Spike said. "Nobody THAT small can kill a dragon." Ember said. "Last time I broke his arm. Size doesn't matter, Ember. Look at my brother. He's six, and already stronger than everyone on this planet. Besides me, of course." Gohan said. "He isn't stronger than my dad, and neither are you." Ember said. "You DON'T want to challenge Gohan." Twilight warned. "That's enough. Just go, we have a competition to win." Gohan ended. "Why don't we help Ember?" Goten asked. "Me? Use YOUR help?" Ember asked. "Just look!" Goten said, pointing at the sky. Boulders were beings hurled, and many dragons fell. "Yikes. I guess that's what makes it a challenge..." Ember said. "Challenge?" Goten asked. "For them it's harder, Goten." Gohan said. "Oh." "Hm... I don't know..." Ember said. "It would be a good idea. We both trust each other, and having two superheroes help us win would be awesome!" Spike said. "Are you sure about this, Spike?" Twilight asked. "She could've spilled the beans about you with Garble, but didn't. Besides, Gohan and Goten'll keep her in check." Spike said. "I guess I'll join you." Ember said. "Great!" Spike said, gesturing for a handshake. Ember hesitantly shook his tiny claw. "Just so you know, this doesn't mean we're gonna pick flowers or exchange necklaces or whatever pony friends do." Ember said. "Good luck, we'll meet you at the top!" Twilight said. "I'll trail behind. Maybe destroy some boulders for them. Could be fun." Gohan said. "Okay, get on, then." Ember said. Spike got a piggyback ride from Ember. "You too, monkey." Ember said. "What? I can fly myself, and stay under the radar. Also, I weigh over 4 tons." Gohan said. "You're too small to be 4 tons and you don't have wings, dummy." Ember said. Gohan started flying. "I'm flying." He said. "Uh...?" Ember asked. "It's a trick!" Goten said as he flew beside Gohan. *** The four started flying up. The slingtails were large in number. They were hurling boulders like crazy! Ember was struggling to dodge. Luckily, Spike being her second pair of eyes, spotted the ones from behind. "Pull up, there's one on your tail!" He yelled. Ember was able to dodge that one. "Left!" Spike said. Ember moved out of the way. Then, four boulders were hurled at them all at once! "What do we do!?" Ember asked. Suddenly, they were all destroyed. Ember looked around in surprise. "Down here." Gohan said from below. He and Goten had destroyed them with ki blasts. "There's another on your tail!" Spike yelled. They all traveled further up the mountain. Then they landed near a cave. Spike jumped off of Ember, while Gohan and Goten hid. "So, what now?" Spike asked. "I think we go through there." Ember said, pointing at the cave. A few dragons got roasted in there. The flames were that powerful... Ember and Spike were worried. Then the two ponies happened to show up... as a tree... "Oh, that looks scary! I mean, you can do it!" Rarity reassured. "Listen, Spike. I wouldn't have made it this far without you. So I guess, if you want to, we could keep working together. I mean, just until we get through that tunnel." Ember said. "Okay!" Spike said "Don't worry guys. If we go in as soon as the cave breathes fire, I can set up a barrier for us to walk through it. Well, Goten can do it too." Gohan said. "Really? What kind of monkey are you!?" Ember asked. "I'm not even a monkey." Gohan said. "But you have a tail..." Ember said. "Saiyan biology." Gohan said. "Let's just go." Spike said, running in the cave with Ember. "We'll be right behind you!" Twilight whispered. "Just don't die, Twilight." Gohan said. *** The four traversed the cave. Well, two were hidden, but still traveled. Their first obstacle was a spikey cruncher. And boy, were those dragons suffering. "It's almost impossible to pass through!" Ember said. "Oh no it's not. Grab onto me." Gohan said, putting two fingers to his forehead. "What? Why?" Ember whispered. "He's gonna teleport us there." Spike said, putting a hand on Gohan. Ember reluctantly put her hand on his shoulder. And they instantly popped to the other side. Gohan and Goten quickly hid once more. "H-How did he...?" Ember asked. "Save the questions for later." Spike said. Garble was about to pass through, but was caught in between the not sharp parts of the cruncher. He saw Spike and Ember traversing further, and he managed to get out. The next obstacle was a bunch of crystal shards trying to stab them. Ember and Spike managed to pass through unharmed... But Spiked noticed one about to stab Ember from above! He quickly rammed himself into Ember to move her out of the way. Luckily, the shard missed. The two continued. Garble was following, but he was quickly stabbed by a shard. Or, rammed into the wall. The two teammates were near the end. Twilight and Rarity were disguised as rocks now. "Oh, you made it! Oh, we were so worried!" Rarity said. "About us?" Spike asked before scoffing. "It was a piece of cake!" He said. But he got dizzy and collapsed. "Wait... How did you two get here?" Ember asked. And then the ground shook, causing Rarity to almost trip over. She was almost going to fall off the edge! "Rarity!" Spike yelled as he dashed in, and grabbed her before she fell. A lava geyser just happened to blow up at that moment, narrowly missing her. "Oh thank you Spike!" Rarity said. "Oh, it was nothing." Spike said humbly. "Nothing? You just risked your life to save her, and they're putting their lives in danger JUST to support you!" Ember said. "Well, that's what friends do. Don't you have anybody that looks out for you?" Spike asked. "N-Not really... Unless I count you... Which I don't." Ember said. "Because we were only helping each other get through the tunnel, and now we're through the tunnel. So... That's it." She said. "Wait... What do you mean?" Spike asked. "Well, there's only one winner, one scepter, and ONE dragon lord! So, I guess it's every dragon for themselves." Ember said. Spike was hurt. "Oh... So... We aren't really friends?" He asked. "Maybe if we were in Ponyland, but, like I said, dragons don't DO friendship." Ember said, flying away. "Don't worry, you still have us!" Gohan said. "You're better off. She only thinks for herself. She's just like all the other dragons." Rarity said. "She's not though, I know it! She saved me, even when she didn't have to!" Spike said. "I don't care what she says, that makes us friends!" He said, darting off towards the scepter. *** "We made it!" Spike said. They saw the scepter. "We flew through every hole for you, obviously we made it." Gohan said from a rock. "I can't believe I'm the only dragon to make it this far!" Spike said. "You're not!" Garble yelled from behind. "And I'm not losing to a puny pony-loving dragon like you!" He said, grabbed Spike by his green scales. They were on a small part of the ground, and if he dropped Spike, he would fall into sharp spikes! "We have to do something!" Rarity said. "I think someone will." Gohan said. "What do you mean!?" Twilight asked. Ember came crashing in, ramming into Garble! He dropped Spike, though. Garble smashed into the 'rocks.' And she saved Spike from dying a second time. "Ember! I thought it was every dragon for themselves! Why did you save me?!" Spike asked as they landed on the ground. "That's what friends do! And I am. I mean, we are. I never should have left you back there. Agh, please don't make me talk about my feelings!" Ember said. "What the!?" Garble asked as he saw the ponies. The two started inching backwards. "That's enough!" Gohan said as he he flew in front of Garble. "You! You dirty litt-" Garble said before he was punched in the stomach. He was then kicked to the side, smashing into a boulder. "Spike, get the scepter!" Ember yelled as she flew at Garble to restrain him for good. Spike started darting towards the scepter. Ember tried holding Garble down, but he broke free and flew after Spike. ...And then he was kicked in the side by Goten. Back to another rock. "Why!? Dragons don't do helping!" Garble yelled. "These dragons do!" Ember yelled as she held Garble down again. Spike grabbed the scepter! And it created a giant red shockwave, attracting all the other dragons. The ponies were put into costume again, and the Saiyans hid. "H-He has the scepter!?" Garble asked. "Yes." Ember said as she unrestrained Garble. "Dragon Lord Spike." She added. Garble was going to attack her again... "Stop!" The new dragon lord called. "You have to obey me." Spike said. "B-But you cheated! With the monkeys and ponies!" Garble yelled. "Every dragon for themself, Garble." Ember said. "Gr... Oh, dang it. Dragon Lord Spike..." Garble said as he knelt for the new one. The incoming dragons all knelt as well. "You won't get away with this!" Garble yelled as he flew away. Spike jumped down to Ember. "Dragon Lord Spike. Hm! Has a nice ring to it." Ember said. "Dragon Lord Ember." Spike said as he put the scepter in her hands. "Sounds a lot better." He said. "What!? No, you're the dragon lord now." Ember said. "The dragon lord is whoever brings the scepter back to your father. Besides, you'll make a great leader. I was just doing this to protect the ponies. But I know you'll protect them just as well as I would've." Spike said. "You sure about this?" Ember asked. "Absolutely. My home is in Equestria, with my friends." Spike said. "Well, you'll have at least one friend here too." Ember said. Spike gave her a hug. "What are you doing?" Ember asked. "It's CALLED a hug!" Spike said. "Oh, uh... I don't know if I like it, but... Okay." Ember said. Spike hugged even tighter, and she blushed. Ooh~. *** "Dragon Lord Torch!" Garble yelled from afar. He flew right near his face. "You may speak." Torch said. "You see..." Garble said, before a bright red light shone from the sky. It was Ember and the scepter. She was bringing it back. "Ember!? YOU!?" Torch asked. "I know you didn't think I could do it, but I did." Ember said. "I expressly told you not to do it, because you're not-" "I'm not big and strong." Ember interrupted. "I know. But you know what? I won anyway. So maybe it takes more than just being big and strong to be a good Dragon Lord!" Ember said. Torch thought about it... "I was wrong, Ember. You might not be big, but you are strong and smart, and perhaps that counts for more than I thought. And you will make an excellent leader." Torch said. "Thanks, dad." Ember said. "Dragon Lord Torch!" Garble said. "What is it!? I'm having a moment with my daughter here!" Torch yelled. "I think this is important. She cheated!" Garble said, pointing a finger at Ember. "What!?" Torch asked. "She teamed up with some monkeys and ponies and that little wimp Spike!" Garble said. "PONIES!?" Torch asked. "Dad, it's not true!" Ember said. "Oh really? Then let's check." Garble said, flying down to Spike and the 'rocks.' "These are my rocks!" Spike yelled as he defended them. Garble smacked him away and revealed the ponies! "WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS!?" Torch yelled. "Dad, it's every dragon for themselves. You never said I couldn't get help." Ember said. "That is true... But! I will squash these ponies anyway!" Torch yelled. "No! You can't!" Spike yelled. "Please, dad, don't!" Ember yelled. "Too late!" Torch yelled as he reached over and was about to squash them with his pinky claw! Rarity screamed high pitch... And Torch's finger stopped! But the screaming was still going. "What is this!?" Torch yelled as he removed his claw. It was Gohan and Goten! "That's them! Those are the monkeys!" Garble yelled. "Dragon Lord Torch! You will not be harming my friends ever!" Gohan yelled. "Yeah right, Torch'll put you in your place!" Garble yelled. "Dad, you can't! They're my friends!" Ember said. "Dragons don't DO friends!" Torch yelled. "I'll take care of the ponies and monkeys, then you are the new Dragon Lord!" He said. "Goten, protect Twilight and Rarity." Gohan said. "Hey! You fought the big guy last time! I want a turn!" Goten said. "Oh, right. Yeah, you go, I'll defend Twilight and Rarity." Gohan said, jumping to their side. "Torch!" Goten yelled as he flew up. "This is your last chance. I don't want to hurt you. Let us go, and you won't regret dealing with me." He said. Torch started laughing. "You? Hurt me!? Hah!" Torch yelled. Ember flew to Goten. "You're going to kill yourself!" She whispered. "Trust me. I can take him." Goten said. "Ember, get back here! Your father will take care of this." Torch said. Ember reluctantly flew to her father's side. "Now you listen here, monkey. I will fry you instead of squishing you if you dare fight me!" Torch yelled. "Why don't you try?" Goten asked. "What was that!?" Torch asked. Ember was clearly fearful for Goten. "Unless you want me to throw the first punch." Gohan said with a smirk. "Pfft. Like YOU could hurt me." Torch said. "Is that a 'Yes?'" Goten asked. "Yeah." Torch said. Goten flew at Torch and smashed his fist into his cheek. It left a mark, and "Ouch. That did hurt." Torch said, rubbing his cheek. "Now, please let us leave." Goten said. "Oh, but I can't, you see. It's YOUR turn! Haha!" Torch yelled before he breathed hot flames on Goten. (His power level's like, 200,000,000. Goten's more of a 230,000,000 or something.) 'Why didn't he dodge it!?' Ember thought. "Hah! That's what your monkey friend gets, Spike!" Garble said. "I wouldn't have an early victory if I were you." Spike said. Torch stopped his fire. "There. That shou- WHAT!?" Torch asked. Goten was still standing. Unfazed, too. Ember was surprised! "H-How!?" Torch, Garble and Ember asked. "I just moved the flames away with my energy!" Goten said. "Take this!" Torch yelled as he threw his giant claws at Goten. Goten dodged by flying upward, and he planted another punch on Torch's nose. He was bleeding a bit! Torch was left in shock. In a fit of rage, he started to slash everywhere. Goten narrowly dodged all but one. Torch managed to cut his orange shirt with one claw. "Uh oh." Goten said. "Haha! He's done for!" Garble boasted. "My brother is stronger than you think, buddy." Gohan said. "I can take YOU right now, now that I think about it!" Garble said. Gohan sighed. "You can't do anything." He said. "Why you!" Garble yelled as he charged at Gohan. Torch threw a fist, and Goten blocked with his hands. The two were struggling to push each other back, going back and forth. Goten had enough, and quickly turned into a Super Saiyan. He instantly tossed Torch's fist back to him. "What!?" Torch asked, trying to recover quickly. Goten started to rush Torch, punching and kicking and performing double axe handles on multiple parts of his body. Torch felt enormous pain. "Argh! What the heck is this!" He asked as he was getting beaten up. Garble was trying to charge at Gohan, but he kept getting pushed back by ki. Twilight took down notes. "Dragons are not as bright as we think. Trial and error clearly not present." She wrote. Goten ended his assault, and Torch could barely stand at this point. There were multiple marks on his body. Ember was surprised even more. Goten just beat him up like it was nothing in an instant. Goten flew to Torch's face. "Seriously, this is your last chance. I won't stop unless you let us go!" Goten said. "Dad, stop it!" Ember said. "Hush, Ember." Torch said. "No, dad! You'll kill yourself at this rate!" Ember said. "Dragon Lord Torch, kill him already!" Garble yelled as he was pushed back by ki. "He can't, don't you get it?" Spike asked. "What?" Garble asked. "Goten's in an entirely different league." Spike said. "And he has a brother who's even stronger." Twilight said. "Me." Gohan said. "You are still holding back on me?" Torch asked. "I'm not using my full power in this form." Goten said. "Dad, please. He won't hurt any of us." Ember said, realizing Goten's monstrous strength. She could feel his Super Saiyan aura. Torch was not happy about surrendering to a tiny monkey... "Fine. You may leave with your pony friends." Torch said. Goten smiled and reverted back to base form. "Thank you, my lord." He said, flying down to his friends. "Lord? He respects me enough to say lord? He's not that bad, he isn't." Torch said. "He's our friend." Ember said. "What!? How!?" Garble asked. "Push-ups, sit-ups, and plenty of milk and/or juice." Gohan said. "Did you see me, big brother?" Goten asked. "You were pretty awesome out there." Gohan said, smiling. Ember flew down to Gohan. "I underestimated you." She said. "Everyone does." Spike said. "I won't let the Dragon Lands fall to any enemy. Get me if nobody can fight it. Or my brother, he's just as strong." Gohan said. "I suppose we can come to a truce with the ponies. And the monkeys." Ember said. "We're not monkeys. There are only two of us on this planet. We're Saiyans/humans. Don't worry about it too much." Gohan said. "Okay. It was great to see you. Come visit sometime! I'll make sure nobody eats you. Or you will, actually." Ember said. "Great!" Twilight said. "Now, let's get home and fix your gi, Goten." Rarity said. Goten looked down at his gi. "Yeah, I got it cut." He said. *** Gohan spent Hearth's Waming in the human world again. This time, with Goten. And he made sure of one thing. You will see. *** So it was Hearth's Warming again, and again, Gohan was invited to the human world along with Goten. Gohan made a request which the Humane 7 agreed to. Now, the Humane 7 were all waiting outside the portal... Again. It became a part of their lives at this point. Then the two Saiyans came through the portal, with sacks. "So, you brought another sack of stuff?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Sure did. Even Goten did." Gohan said. "Yay!" Goten and Pinkie yelled. "He took a lot of time and effort to get his gifts for you all." Gohan said. "And for you too, big brother!" Goten said. "Me?" Gohan asked, pointing at himself in confusion. "Uh huh!" Goten said. "Aw!" Everyone else said. Gohan smiled. "Thanks, Goten." He said. "Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go!" Pinkie said. *** They were in Pinkie's room... Again. And she ordered double the amount of pizza as last time. But enough about that, it was Hearth's Warming Eve slumber party time! Goten's first with them. Not in general. The Saiyans left their individual presents in the corner. The girls got into pajamas and started doing things like take selfies, go on the laptop and other social media things. Spike... He and Fluttershy were getting along real nicely. With ear scratches and stuff. Gohan and Goten just did Image Training until the girls suggested they do something. How did they do it...? They sat crisscross, put their hands on their legs and sat up straight while closing their eyes. They managed to connect their minds. It was a favorite pastime of theirs, since in Equestria they were usually suckered into parties like this with the Mane 6 and CMC. I guess I'll go into detail for you... The battlefield was just a never ending terrain of flat silver tiles. Gohan and Goten were going at it. Goten had trouble dealing with Gohan. Whenever Goten grew tired in his assaults, and he became slower in movements, Gohan punished by rushing him at those moments with multiple stomach pummels. Gohan wanted him to adapt. And in this training, he did. Goten started to threw multiple punches at Gohan, not giving him an inch. But, this time, he slowed down on purpose during the assault without tiring out. Gohan took this as an opportunity, and threw a punch. Goten moved back fast enough to dodge Gohan's attack and grab his fist with both hands. He swung Gohan around and tossed him to the side. Gohan was sent flying... And he put two fingers to his head. He instantly appeared behind Goten. Goten had no time to react as he turned around. He was instantly met with a powerful kick. "Hey! You two!" Rainbow Dash yelled, snapping them out of their little imaginary battle. "Yeah?" Gohan asked, turning his head to the side. "What are you two doing?" Applejack asked. "Is this like a group meditation?" Twilight asked. "No, its Image Training!" Goten said. "Image Training?" Everyone else asked. "It's basically intertwining two or more minds together in an imaginary battlefield. We train this way when we go to slumber parties and we're not doing much." Gohan said. "What's the point of Image Training? That doesn't help you get stronger." Rainbow Dash said. "On the contrary." Gohan said. "Image Training can help you perfect techniques and fighting styles! You can adapt while Image Training too!" Goten said cheerfully. "Goten adapted against a new flaw of his just now." Gohan said. "Can you teach us?" Fluttershy asked. "Later." Gohan said. "Well, we were gonna start games!" Pinkie said cheerfully. "Pinkie." A depressing voice came from the door. It was Maud Pie. Holding a shit ton of pizza. "Your pizza's here." She said. "Who's that?" Goten asked. "Maud! Thanks sis!" Pinkie said cheerfully, hugging Maud. "Her sister doesn't have as much energy as her." Goten said. "I can't believe she's even related to Pinkie." Sunset said. "The grease is dripping on my feet." Maud said. "Well, maybe the games could hold off for now..." Rarity said. *** After Gohan and Goten wolfed down like, 95% of the pizza, game time. Last time Gohan just went to bed before that. "Truth or dare~!" Pinkie yelled. "Don't make me or Goten do stupid things." Gohan said. "No promises." Pinkie said. "We'll make sure you don't do something disgusting or whatnot." Sunset said. "Thank you." Gohan said. Everyone got in a circle and sat down. "Rainbow Dash starts!" Pinkie said. "Alright! Now Gohan, Truth or dare?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Dare?" Gohan asked. "I dare you to punch yourself in the face as hard as you can WITHOUT hurting yourself." Rainbow Dash said. "That's impossible!" Twilight said. "Yeah! How's he gonna do that?" Spike asked. "Oh, don't worry, I know." Gohan said. "Oh! I get it!" Goten said. "What's he gonna do?" Pinkie asked. Gohan stood up, crossed his arms and bent his knees. He performed the Multi-Form technique. He made two of himself. One of them turned Super Saiyan. The base form Gohan smashed his fist into the Super Saiyan's face. "Oh. That's brilliant!" Rarity said. "You thought of that?" Fluttershy asked Rainbow Dash. "Yeah." Rainbow Dash said. "That was very smart." Fluttershy said. Gohan became one and sat down again. "Okay, Twilight, truth or dare?" Gohan asked. "Dare." Twilight said boldly. "Somebody's brave." Sunset said. "Does she not pick dare or something?" Gohan asked. "Yes." Everyone said. "I dare you to lift this." Gohan said, removing a single boot. "What!?" Twilight asked. "You're making her lift 1500 kilos!?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Trust me on this one, Twilight." Gohan said. Twilight took a deep breath before making the attempt! She grabbed the boot with both hands, and pulled as hard as she could! The grunting was loud. "Come on, Twilight. Put your energy into it!" Gohan said. Twilight strained even harder, and suddenly... The boot was actually off the ground. But Twilight's face was red. She kept trying... And the boot rose higher! "She's doing it!?" Sunset asked. "Amazing!" Rarity said. Gohan smiled. Twilight couldn't take it any more and dropped the boot. Goten swooped in and caught it with one hand before it crashed through the floors. Twilight was panting crazily, gasping for air. "You did AMAZEBALLS!" Pinkie yelled. "...Amazeballs?" Gohan asked as he put on his boot again. "It's a word she made up." Sunset said. Twilight sat down again. "You okay, Twilight?" Spike asked. "Yeah... I'll.... I'll be fine... I can't believe I did that!" Twilight said. "Your training has paid off, Twilight." Gohan said. "I see that! Exercise is more beneficial than I thought!" Twilight said. "Especially with Gohan as our teacher." Sunset said. "Okay, Pinkie, truth or dare?" Twilight asked. "Dare!" Pinkie said. "I dare you to make a tray of cupcakes to appear!" Twilight said. "You mean like this?" Pinkie asked, making a tray just appear in his lap. "I-I didn't even see you do it!" Twilight said. "I think she just put a tear in time and pulled it out of a previous or future time." Goten said. "Really!?" Everyone asked. "Pfft. I don't really know." Goten said. Pinkie started laughing nervously. "Y-Yeah!" She said. "Anyway... Sunny, truth or dare?" Pinkie asked. "Truth." Sunset said. "Do you have a crush~?" Pinkie asked. Sunset recoiled a bit and blushed. No, this isn't gonna be a truth or dare setup bullshit. Fuck off with that shit. "She does!" Rainbow Dash said. "Is that sunburn on your face or are you just blushing?" Gohan asked. "Hey!" Sunset retorted. "Sorry, sorry." Gohan said. "You have to admit, that was good." Goten said. "Uh huh." Everyone else said. "Ugh, yeah, I have a crush." Sunset said. "Well, who is it?" Gohan asked. "Hey, the question was to say if I had a crush, not to name him." Sunset said, crossing her arms. "Aw!" Pinkie said. "Oh well." Gohan said. "Anyway... Rainbow Dash, truth or dare?" Sunset asked. "Dare, obviously. I'm no wuss!" Rainbow Dash said. "I dare you to answer this: What are the contents of Pinkie's fridge?" Sunset asked. "Whipped cream. Too. Easy." Rainbow Dash said. "Dang." Sunset said. "Fluttershy, truth or dare?" Rainbow Dash asked. "T-Truth." Fluttershy said. "Who do you think is the strongest here? Excluding Gohan and Goten, they're like, the strongest in the universe." Rainbow Dash said. "Um... Hm..." Fluttershy said. She wanted to give the nicest answer possible. "I think we're all equally as strong..." Fluttershy said. "Oh come on, I want to know if you think I'm better or worse than everyone!" Rainbow Dash said. "To be honest, she's right." Gohan said. "Really?" Sunset asked. "I mean, your strengths are all the same. It all dwindles down to who has the better skill." Gohan said. "Well, I think we're all equally skilled." Fluttershy said. Rainbow Dash sighed. "I'll take it." She said. "Goten, truth or dare?" Fluttershy asked. "Truth!" Goten said. 'I better come up with a kids' question...' Fluttershy thought. "What was the scariest dream you ever had?" She asked. "Scariest dream... Well, I was like, 3 at the time. I was fishing!" Goten said. Everyone but Gohan imagined Goten by a riverside with a fishing pole. Gohan imagined Goten diving in and pounding the tuna. ...What? With Goku gone, Chi Chi needs someone to do it! "I caught the biggest fish ever! But then a little fishy came, and he devoured the entire Paozu tuna in one bite! I lost my catch!" Goten said. "Oh no!" Fluttershy said sympathetically. "Pfft, what a dream." Rainbow Dash mumbled. "I hope you never get a dream like that again..." Fluttershy said. "Same here!" Goten said. "Losing that precious Paozu tuna is hard. They're endangered, mostly because our family hunted them for food." Gohan said. "Applejack, truth or dare?" Goten asked. "Dare." Applejack said. "I dare you to try and lick your elbow!" Goten said. Childish, I know. "Well, I don't know if I can, but I'll try." Applejack said, trying in vain. Rainbow Dash started laughing at Applejack. "Come on, Rainbow. Be nice." Gohan said. "I can't do it!" Applejack said. "I said try. You did it!" Goten said. "Oh. Okay. Finally, Rarity, truth or dare?" Applejack asked. "Truth." Rarity said. "What do you really hope your parents never find out about?" Applejack asked. "That last Hearth's Warming, Sweetie Belle had six months of detention. They managed to believe that she went to a club EVERY single day!" Rarity said. "That happened to Applebloom too." Applejack said. "And Scoots." Rainbow Dash said. "They told Principal Celestia?" Gohan asked. "Yeah.... After we forced them to." Rainbow Dash said. "Oh. I guess my investigation went a bit too far..." Gohan said. "Well, you stayed up all night investigating JUST for me. Is that too far?" Sunset asked. "What are you all talking about?" Goten asked. "Oh, right, I never told you. To sum it up, Applebloom, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo were not happy that their sisters and sisterly figure weren't spending as much time with them as their friends. They started getting embarrassing photos of everyone and made it public. Everyone thought Sunset did it because some of the photos belonged to her." Gohan said. "But I didn't, and Gohan proved it!" Sunset said. "Yeah. In Cafeteria Court." Rainbow Dash joked. Everyone laughed. "Table 9, 7:00 AM." Gohan joked. Everyone laughed again. *** "PRESENTS!" Pinkie screamed. "Yay!" Goten exclaimed. 'The nostalgia...' Gohan thought. "Who wants hot cocoa!?" Pinkie asked, pulling exactly a tray of that out. Everyone reached for one cup. "Okay, let's do our gift exchange first." Sunset said. "Gift exchange?" Goten asked. "They do this for Christm- I mean, Hearth's Warming." Gohan said. "And Gohan was pulled into it!" Pinkie said. "Only because you guys said there would be one short." Gohan said. "Or... Maybe you wanted to give something to someone special?" Goten joked. "No, Goten." Gohan said. "Are you sure~?" Rainbow Dash sneered. "Yeah, I'm sure. I also got presents for everyone else, so this is just part of it. As an old friend once said: "Everyone is created equal, and everyone deserves the opportunity to suffer just as much as everyone else on this miserable planet."" Gohan said. He quoted Vegeta. "That... sounds really dark..." Twilight said. "I don't agree with the wording but it's essentially the same as everyone is equal." Gohan said. "True, true..." Sunset said. "Okay, gift exchange time!" Rainbow Dash said. Everyone started exchanging gifts. Rainbow Dash with Applejack, Twilight with Pinkie, Fluttershy with Rarity, and Gohan with Sunset. "Here you go." Rainbow Dash said, handing a present to Applejack. "Same to you." Applejack said, handing a present to Rainbow Dash. "Wait, you got me new cleats?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Yours are really worn out, RD." Applejack said. "Thanks!" Rainbow Dash said, with the exact same shoes she usually wears. Just better because they're new. "And you got me a new guide to fend off fruit bats from leaving the sanctuary? How'd you know that was happening?" Applejack asked. "I may or may not have used the bathroom to get a few apples..." Rainbow Dash said. "I've been trying for weeks, I thought I gonna have to give them more!" Applejack said. "Okay, my turn, my turn!" Pinkie yelled. Pinkie and Twilight exchanged their gifts. Pinkie took a dramatic deep breath. "YOU GOT ME A PLANNER!?" She asked in anger. Shit. "I-I thought you were losing your schedule! Especially with these past few weeks!" Twilight said. "HOW!?" Pinkie asked. "Well, to be honest, you planned fifteen parties recently and you only did eight of what was planned." Twilight said. "Yeah, you didn't party when Scoots was the MVP of the soccer game when you said you would." Rainbow Dash said. "It slipped my mi- Oh. I see. Thanks Twilight!" Pinkie said, smiling brightly again. "And you got me a... How did you even afford this!?" Twilight asked, lifting up her new portable telescope. "It's one of the most powerful out there!" She added. "It wasn't much! After 19 hours of doing things I was given that!" Pinkie said. "What kind of things?" Rainbow Dash asked. "It's a secret~!" Pinkie said. Everyone was afraid she did something really weird for it. Twilight looked out the window with her new gift. "I can see another planet! Oh wait... It's gone. Wait, it's back! And it's gone... What kind of a rotation pattern does this have?" She asked, putting her telescope down. Now it was Fluttershy and Rarity's turn. "Here you are..." Fluttershy said, handing her present over. "Thank you, darling. Here you go." Rarity said, handing her present over. Fluttershy got... "A-A little cape for Angel? How did you...?" Fluttershy asked. "He loves those plays, I saw one of them." Rarity said. "I'm sure Angel will love this." Fluttershy said. "And you got me a new sewing machine!? How generous of you!" Rarity said. Fluttershy smiled sheepishly. Now it was Gohan and Sunset's turn. Sunset got Gohan a... "A bag?" Gohan asked. It was a black backpack. Big enough to carry a lot of books, but not for lunch. "You never came to school with a bag, and your lunch is usually the thing you carry in those weirdly huge rags. I thought it would help you." Sunset said. "Wow. Thanks!" Gohan said. He put the bag aside and went inside his sack... And pulled out a huge fucking package of sunflower seeds. By huge, I mean huge. Like, 200,000 sunflower seeds. He dropped it in between him and Sunset. "What the heck is that!?" Rainbow Dash asked. Sunset inspected the package... "Sunflower seeds!? How did you know!?" Sunset asked. "It came to me in a dream!" Gohan said proudly. What was the dream...? *** Gohan was in a classroom with like, two other students in adidas tracksuits. There was a teacher up front with adidas pants, yellow adidas jacket, a ski mask, sunglasses and an ushanka. "Hello comrades! Welcome to another lesson! Today's lesson, semechki. Or, sunflower seeds if you are western spy." The teacher said in a Russian accent. 'Why am I even here?' Gohan thought. "Semechki is the infinite squat power of the slav... It's also good for your significant other if he or she is true slav! Or if someone likes sunflowers, I don't give shit." The teacher said. "Next lesson, what to tell your babushka if she asks you the question: "What would you like to eat?" You must remember these words, grind these words into your brain! Interrupt her mid sentence to say: "KOTLET! I want at least five kotlet! And seven blins!" And faster than you can say cheeki breeki chebureki..." If you know who's talking, you're fucking awesome. *** "What kind of a dream is that?" Sunset asked. "Hey, weird things are bound to happen in a dream if weird things happen in real life. I can go to the afterlife without dying." Gohan said. "Eh. I guess that's reasonable." Sunset said. "Since when do you like sunflower seeds?" Rarity asked. "Since forever. Even in Equestria! I mean, I have some in my bag!" Sunset said, reaching for her bag and pulling out a small package with a grandma on it. "See?" She asked. She put a hand inside it and took a seed and ate it. She spit out the bad part into the trash. "Now I have 200,000 more!" She said. "I hope you like it." Gohan said. "Obviously! This would last a person a few months! Or week in my case." Sunset said. "You really like them, don't you?" Rainbow Dash said. "Yeah, I do." Sunset said. "Great!" Gohan said. Applejack leaned into Sunset's ear. "You know, you really owe it to yourself to tell Gohan you're in love with him already..." She whispered. "I AM NOT!" Sunset retorted, blushing. "Not what?" Rainbow Dash asked. "It's a secret." Applejack snickered. "I guess we can't intrude on that." Gohan said. "I wanna give everyone my gift now!" Goten said. "Go ahead, Goten." Gohan said. "Yay!" Goten yelled as he jumped up to grab his sack. "I'm surprised you two are even able to get things for us..." Twilight said. "Gohan has a pretty high paying job." Rainbow Dash said. "It's how we can eat so much all the time, heheh." Gohan said. Goten came back. "I made you all wood carvings!" He said, handing the Humane 7 each a wooden doll of themself. "Wow! You made this?" Fluttershy asked. It looked pretty exact. "It's perfect!" Rarity said. Goten finally handed the last one to Pinkie. "Whee! Now I can fly while flying!" Pinkie said, flying her wooden self. "You even got the hair matched up!" Rainbow Dash said. "Did I do good?" Goten asked. "Yeah!" Everyone said. "And for Gohan..." Goten said, pulling out not a carving... But a paper. Gohan was shocked to see the paper... His face showed it. "What's wrong?" Sunset asked. Gohan smiled and began to tear up at it. It was a drawing... Well drawn, might he add. Of him, Goten, Chi Chi and Grandpa Ox... Chi Chi looked different than he thought, but her face remained the same. "You drew this, Goten...?" Gohan asked. "Yeah!" Goten said. "What is it?" Fluttershy asked. Gohan flipped the paper over to show everyone. "It's like a real photo of our family!" Gohan said. "Wow... That's... Amazing." Rainbow Dash said. "That's your mother... And your grandpa, I presume?" Rarity asked. "Yeah! I wanted to draw it because I wanted Gohan to see what it would be like if he was with us on Earth!" Goten said. "And I love it." Gohan said. "I guess Earth is nostalgic now, huh?" Sunset asked. "It definitely is... I still don't know where Mom is in Other World." Gohan said. "Yeah, she's still gone with dad." Goten said. Then he yawned. "I think Imma go to sleep now..." He said. "You sure? Presents aren't done yet, and you haven't gotten yours yet." Gohan said. "I get a present?" Goten asked. "He's just like you the last time you came!" Rainbow Dash said. "Yay!" Goten said. "We all chipped in for you..." Rarity said. "And got a few pointers from Gohan..." Applejack said. "So here it is!" Pinkie said, pulling out a... Bike! Out from under her bed... Goten looked in amazement. (He loves bicycles.) "H-How'd you hide that under there!? I thought we were going outside!" Rainbow Dash said. "I love it!" Goten said. It was green with a black seat and handle. "Can I ride it now!?" Goten asked Gohan. "You can do it." Gohan said. "Yay!" Goten said. Pinkie handed Goten the bicycle. "But go outside before you..." Twilight said before she was confused. Goten flew out the window riding the bike. "Why does this look so familiar?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Movies!" Pinkie said. "He rode the bike very far away... I hope he finds his way back." Fluttershy said. "That just means I'll have to raise my power level. Excuse me a moment..." Gohan said, powering up a bit. They saw a bit of yellow aura as he raised his power to 25%. "I always wonder why you keep your power so low." Rainbow Dash said. "Because there isn't a need to keep it at maximum all the time." Gohan said. "I guess that makes sense..." Fluttershy said. "My turn!" Gohan said, jumping to his sack. "What did you bring from Equestria this time?" Sunset asked. "Well, one of them is from the afterlife." Gohan said with a grin. "I wonder who's getting it?" Rainbow Dash said. "You'll see... And it'll be pretty obvious." Gohan said. "For Twilight..." Gohan said, pulling out a book on magic. "I know you really want to know all about it, so I got you a book." He said, handing it to Twilight. "Thanks!" Twilight said. "It's even from yourself." Gohan said. "What are- Oh! The Princess wrote this?" Twilight asked. "Yeah." Gohan said. "Oh! And uh, Cadence had a baby, right?" Gohan asked. "Uh... Yes." Twilight said. "This is a mobile for her." Gohan said, pulling out a Cloudsdale mobile. "I think Flurry would like it." He said. "I think she would too- Hey... How do you know her name?" Twilight asked. "I'm her godfather over there." Gohan said. "Y-You are!?" Twilight asked. "Well, shoot! She's in good hands!" Applejack said. "For Fluttershy..." Gohan said, pulling out a bear call. "What is it?" Fluttershy asked. "A bear's call." Gohan said. "A b-b-b-b-bear!?" Fluttershy asked. "Don't worry! The bear who comes will be nice. Unless you try to kill it, which you won't do." Gohan said. Fluttershy sighed. "That's a relief... Thank you, Gohan." She said. "It only works in the wild, so don't expect a bear to come by in town." Gohan said. Fluttershy snickered. "For Rarity..." Gohan said, pulling out... Nothing? He walked over to Rarity and put his hand on her head. He transferred knowledge into that there brain. "W-What did you give me?" Rarity asked. "The ability to perform the clothes beam!" Gohan said. "Clothes beam!?" Rarity asked. She aimed her hand at the ground. After a brief flash of light, some clothes appeared! Her traditional wear. She squealed. "Wow. You learned the clothes beam, Gohan?" Sunset asked. "From my old teacher! Also that's the gift from Other World." Gohan said. "Thank you!" Rarity said. "For Applejack..." Gohan said, pulling out gardening gloves. "Gloves? You knew mine are busted?" Applejack asked. "I've seen you farm before, yours are worse than busted. It's like challenging the Legendary Super Saiyan as my dad when he's 12. Gohan said. "Legendary Super Saiyan? I don't think I've heard of that before." Sunset said. "That's right, I haven't told you guys about our side adventures..." Gohan said. "Well, tell us!" Rainbow Dash said. "When Goten comes back. He doesn't know about them either." Gohan said "For Rainbow Dash..." Gohan said, pulling out a guide for flying. 'Flying: Tricks and Other Cool Stuff!' "What's that?" She asked. "Well, since you love to fly..." Gohan said. Rainbow Dash was spinning in mid air. "Heck yeah!" She said. "I thought this book could give you more stuff to do. And hey, it'll help you master flight too!" Gohan said. "Alright!" Rainbow Dash said, throwing a fist up in the air. "Thanks!" She added. "For Pinkie..." Gohan said, pulling out a bag. A tied pouch, actually. It was like, three times the size of a senzu bean pouch. "What is it?" Pinkie asked. "A bag of magical winds!" Gohan said, handing it over to Pinkie. She untied the bag, unleashing the full force of the infinite winds. She closed the bag, and her hair stood up. "Ooh... Yeah, should've mentioned it's infinite." Gohan said. "Infinite!? YAY!" Pinkie said, unleashing it on herself yet again. "Don't do it for too long, you'll get dehydrated." Gohan said. "I OE IE!" Pinkie said. Then she stopped. "And finally, for everyone, even you, Sunset, 70 kilogram weighted clothes!" Gohan said, pulling out all that for everyone. "An upgrade to our 20? Awesome!" Rainbow Dash said. "Don't wear it now!" Sunset said. "That reminds me- Don't sleep with your boots and weighted clothes on, Gohan! Tell Goten the same!" Rarity said. "Okay. But Goten doesn't wear weights, and he removes his shoes." Gohan said. "Okay." Rarity said. Goten came back through the window with his new bike. "So, how is it?" Twilight asked. "Awesome! I love it! Thanks guys!" Goten said cheerfully. "It was nothing!" Rainbow Dash said. "Christmas is- I mean, Hearth's Warming is awesome!" Goten said. "Christmas?" Everyone asked. "Hearth's Warming is what we call Christmas where we come from." Gohan said. "Why?" Sunset asked. "Some guy named Jesus Christ did something, I'm not really sure." Gohan said. "Well, that's just great. You know the history of Hearth's Warming, but not Christmas?" Rainbow Dash asked. "It's something to do with religion, okay? I'm not really the religious type. Even though I believe in the Kais." Gohan said. "Now, tell us about your side adventures!" Sunset said. "Side adventures?" Goten asked. "I guess I'll tell you it as a bedtime story, Goten." Gohan joked. "Hey! I'm not a little baby anymore!" Goten retorted. "I'm kidding, I'm kidding! Sorry." Gohan said. *** Gohan's stories of Garlic Jr., Dr. Wheelo, Turles, Slug, Cooler, Meta Cooler, Broly and Hatchiyack put Goten to sleep. He had to remove Goten's shoes for him because of that. He also draped a nice, warm blanket made by Rarity over him. "What a night... It's 10:34!" Rainbow Dash said. "Better head off to bed!" Pinkie said, hopping into a sleeping bag. Gohan started to remove his boots and wristbands. "This was fun." Sunset said. "Agreement." Gohan said. "Night!" Rainbow Dash said. "Good night." Everyone else said. *** Sunset woke up in the middle of the night. She barely saw it, but Gohan was missing. So, that's what made her sit up and look around. She could see his weighted stuff in the corner in the moonlight. 'Where did he go?' She thought. She silently flew over the sleeping girls and dog and walked into the kitchen. That's where she saw Gohan. He looked like he was thinking deeply, staring out the window. "Gohan?" Sunset asked. Gohan looked to his side. "Sunset? Why are you awake?" He asked. "I could ask you the same exact thing." Sunset said. "Yeah, you could." Gohan said, staring out the window again. "So, why?" Sunset asked. "I'm just having trouble sleeping." Gohan said. "Why?" Sunset asked. "It's nothing, okay?" Gohan said. "Clearly not. Is it something to do with your weird request?" Sunset asked. "Don't get me a gift? Of course not." Gohan said. "Well, actually, I wanted to ask, why?" Sunset asked. "I wanted to make it extra special for Goten, not some special treatment for me too." Gohan said. Sunset giggled. "What's funny?" Gohan asked. "You're so humble. You're really selfless. I like that." Sunset said. "I don't know..." Gohan said. "Anyway, tell me why you're not sleeping." Sunset said. "I'm fine." Gohan said. "You're too selfless to accept help. At this point it's selfishness, Gohan. You know that." Sunset said. Gohan didn't really want to be considered selfish by his friend... He looked away in a sort of shame. "Look, I won't hate you or anything." Sunset said. "...I'm afraid." Gohan said, looking towards Sunset. "Of what? That's a surprise..." Sunset said, going to the refrigerator and getting some whipped cream. "I know. That's why I don't talk about it. It's my main fear at this point." Gohan said. "Well, what is it?" Sunset asked. "Well, do you know why Goten's here?" Gohan asked. "Dragon balls, yes." Sunset said. "No, I mean why he used them." Gohan said. "No, I don't..." Sunset said. "And everyone else is dead. Even the greatest warriors on the planet couldn't beat him." Gohan said. "Oh..." Sunset said, spraying some whipped cream on her finger. "I'm afraid he did worse... I'm thinking he erased my mother's soul in the afterlife." Gohan said. "T-That's a bit absurd, don't you think?" Sunset said. "It does. But, I had dreams of this monster before Goten came. He stayed very grimly that he killed her twice." Gohan said. "W-Well... You never know, the dream may have been false." Sunset said. "And what if my dad's gone too? I don't believe he and my mother have been gone for so long on some honeymoon." Gohan said. ... Sunset sighed. "I guess I can't try to make you feel better about it." She said. "Sorry I had to tell you this. I... I really liked getting it off my chest to someone... But I didn't want it to be someone like you." Gohan said. "It's alright." Sunset said, wrapping an arm around Gohan. "I'm really sorry to hear." She said. "It's the monster who did this that frightens me." Gohan said. "I can see that... But you can beat him, I'm sure of it." Sunset said. "I don't know. This new form of mine... It might be useless in the future." Gohan said. "You say you have a new form... Can you show me it?" Sunset asked. Gohan sighed. "I don't like to go into it, but... Is there a full moon out tonight?" He asked. "I think so, yeah." Sunset said, looking out. "Then brace yourself." Gohan said. "Don't tell anyone else about this, you hear me?" He added. "Why?" Sunset asked. "Just don't. It's something too personal." Gohan said, staring outside once more. ... "Now look at me." He said. "Dah!" Sunset said, jumping back. Gohan was a Super Saiyan 4! "What the heck happened!?" She asked. "This is my new form. I don't know why this happens, but it just does." Gohan said. He didn't have his shirt anymore. "Gohan... Is it just embarrassing to be some sort of were monkey?" Sunset asked. "I don't care about it." She added. "No, that's not it. I could care less about my look. Like I said, its personal..." Gohan said, looking away. "Well, you can tell me about it another time. Let's get back to sleep." Sunset said. "Okay..." Gohan said, reverting back to his base form. His shirt was back. "Don't tell anyone else about what we just discussed. Especially Goten." Gohan said. "Don't worry, I won't." Sunset said. She gave Gohan a hug. "We'll always be on your side, no matter what you're gonna do." Sunset said. *** So Gohan thinks the truth. Oh fuck. And Fluttershy's brother was just a nutcase. And the brothers... Well, they TRIED to help. *** "I need you to convince my brother to move out." Fluttershy said. "You have a brother?" Gohan asked. "Yes. He's too much of a hassle!" Fluttershy said. "Why?" Gohan asked. "He moved everything around in my house, he can't hold down a job, and expects everyone else to do things for him! He keeps doing this to everyone! He makes me peeved!" Fluttershy said, before she shut her mouth. "Why'd you shut your mouth?" Gohan asked. "Pardon my language..." Fluttershy said. "That's bad language around here? And I thought I've heard bad language..." Gohan said. The memories of Vegeta... "You bitch!" "100 times regular gravity? That's for pussies!" "You're fucked right in the down under." "Dumbass!" "Dickhead!" "That... Bastard..." "I'm fanfuckingtastic!" "Oh, YOU MOTHERFUCKEEEERS!" "FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!" "Oh to fuck with this!" "I'm going to have to kill your ass!" "....ffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUAUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!" "Goddamnit." "Look down at the ground, back to me, I'm flipping you off." "But I chucked that son of a bitch as hard as I could!" "Son of a gum chewing funk monster! Why the fruit does all this funny stuff happen to me! Forget my life! Always surrounded by miserable, failing clods! It's like this whole world, like to bend me over, and find me in the alps! Like I'm some sort of slug receptacle! Well as far as I care, these miserable cows can have a fancy barabecue with a goddamn pig!" Dedicated to Vegeta for saving Gohan in hell. That's enough of that... "Please help!" Fluttershy said. "Did you mention me yet?" Gohan said, conjuring up a plan. "No. I don't think he knows about you... He's always cooped up in his mind." Fluttershy said. Gohan grinned. "I have a plan. Goten!" He said. *** Fluttershy returned to her messed up cottage. She opened the door. "Zephyr? We have a new animal staying here..." Fluttershy said. "Okay. Just as long as it doesn't mess up my mojo." Zephyr said. "His name is Goten, and he's a bit... Fussy." Fluttershy said. Goten came crashing in all stumbly and clumsy, unlike his usual self. "Why's that monkey wearing clothes?" Zephyr asked. "Where he comes from, he learned how to fight... Since you need something to do... I thought you could be his training partner for a while?" Fluttershy asked. "Aw, come on!" Zephyr said. Goten gave him puppy dog eyes. "And all you have to do is... Well, move out of the way when he attacks..." Fluttershy said. "I'll give it a try." Zephyr said. *** Fluttershy came back to the cottage. "How's everythi- Zephyr!? Are you okay!?" She asked. Zephyr formed a couch fort against an unmoving Goten. "Sis! Thank goodness you're here! That... That monster! He violently ATTACKED me!" Zephyr said, pointing a hoof at Goten. "I didn't even hit you!" Goten retorted, dropping the act. "Well- Yeah!... But you tried!" Zephyr retorted. "This is what I did!" Goten said, throwing the slowest of kicks in the air. "Zephyr Breeze! You couldn't handle slowly moving out of the way!?" Fluttershy asked. 'He's useless!' She thought. "B-But he's the one-" "-You're the one who took the job KNOWING you were going to have to do work!" Fluttershy interrupted. "I know this doesn't help, but he tried getting me to hurt Angel and a bear." Goten said. "ZEPHYR!" Fluttershy yelled. *** Ha. Ha. And, well, Gohan and Goten were pranked really badly by Rainbow Dash when she was on a spree. *** "Why did you have me make this Goku replica again?" Twilight asked. "It's for a prank." Rainbow Dash said. "You better not use it on Gohan and Goten." Twilight said. "I won't! It'll just be in Ponyville for everypony to be stunned by! Bye!" Rainbow Dash said, flying outside Twilight's castle. "I got a bad feeling..." Twilight said. *** Gohan opened his door to greet the morning! ...TO SEE GOKU!? "Dad!?" Gohan asked. "Goten! Get out here! Dad's here!" He yelled. Goten rushed outside. "Dad!?" Goten asked. No response. "How come I can't sense your energy?" Gohan asked. No response. "Wait a minute..." Gohan said, walking over to touch 'Goku.' It fell over. And he sensed Rainbow Dash nearby... "RAINBOW DASH!" Gohan yelled to the sky. Rainbow Dash was laughing her ass off. "That's just cruel!" Gohan said with tears. "It's a prank!" Rainbow Dash said. "He hasn't even met him yet!" Gohan said. "Yeah!" Goten said. "Oh... Uh... Sorry..." Rainbow Dash said. ... "Bye!" She said, flying away instantly. "Is that what dad really looks like?" Goten asked. "Yes..." Gohan said. *** They eventually made up with her. But they didn't prank Rainbow Dash with that zombie prank. They just kept her outside the door. They were going to the Crystal Empire to see Flurry Heart again. The 'changeling spy' caused a panic... *** Twilight, Starlight, Spike, Gohan and Goten were in the Crystal Empire again. And all the Crystal Ponies thought they were not who they really were. "Okay, why did all the ponies just run away after spewing nonsense?" Gohan asked. "Something strange is definitely going on." Twilight said. *** They went to the castle, but then were halted by some guards. "Who goes there?" The first guard asked. "Uh... You don't recognize the Princess of Friendship?" Starlight asked. "And the guy who saved Equestria more than once?" Spike asked. "Of course we do." The first guard said. "But that doesn't mean they're really them." The second guard said. Gohan aimed his hand at the sky and fired a powerful blast. "That proves I'm me." Gohan said. "Don't worry guys!" Spike said, walking up to them casually. "They're with me." He added. "We need some sort of identification." The first guard said. "We'll take care of things from here." Cadence said. Behind the guards were Cadence, Shining Armor, Sunburst and Flurry Heart. "Thank goodness, it's Cadence! What's going on?" Twilight asked. "We can explain, Twily. If it really is you..." Shining Armor said. "Twilight retains her alicorn power level, so yeah. It's her." Gohan said. "And how do we know you're you?" Shining Armor asked. "Do you want me to demonstrate again?" Gohan asked. "Actually, no, that's a stupid question. But I don't know about Twily..." Shining Armor said. "I have this." Cadence said, running up to Twilight. They did their little friendship dance. Proving Twilight was her. "It's okay everypony! It's her." Shining Armor said. Sunburst brought Flurry Heart, who was in a tiny cradle over to the group. "Flurry Heart!" Gohan and Twilight said. "Of course it's her! What's all this about?" Starlight asked. "A changeling's been spotted nearby." Sunburst said. "Do you want me to track him?" Gohan asked. "How?" Sunburst asked. "I fought changelings before, all of them felt the same." Gohan said. Flurry grabbed Twilight's hoof with her two tiny hooves. "Aw... She's gotten so big!" Twilight said. "Yeah. Don't worry, Shining Armor, Cadence. We'll find the changeling. And protect Flurry if it has to come to fighting." Gohan said. *** Goten, Twilight and Starlight were defending Flurry while Gohan went out to investigate. He was trying to find a similar ki signature like before, but didn't get that. He started trekking outside the Crystal Empire, since he looked already. He was now in an ice canyon. He sensed someone nearby, but it wasn't a changeling. Maybe it was some pony traveling. He traversed around until he saw the pony. "A royal guard? What are you doing around here?" Gohan asked. "Shouldn't you be back in the Crystal Empire?" He asked. "O-Oh! You saw me! I-I... Well, yes. I will leave now." The guard said, trotting away. 'He's not going in the direction of the Empire.' Gohan thought. "Stop." Gohan said. "Y-Yes?" The guard asked. "Why are you so nervous?" Gohan asked. "W-Well, uh..." The guard said. "And why are you going that way? The Crystal Empire's that way." Gohan said, pointing at the direction of the Empire. The guard sighed. "I can't do this anymore." He said in a different voice, turning back into what he really was. A changeling. "A changeling?" Gohan asked. "Yeah. I'm nervous because of you." He said. "Why do you feel so different than the other changelings...?" Gohan asked. "Oh, so now another kind thinks I'm different than my own. I know you don't want to be friends." The changeling said. "What? I never said that, you just have... Well, a kind of pure energy." Gohan said. "H-How can you tell?" He asked. "I know what a changeling's energy is like. Evil. Yours is more peaceful." Gohan said. "E-Evil? Oh. No, not me. All I ever wanted was a friend." The changeling said. "From the moment I first burst from my egg in the nursery hive..." He said, remembering when he was born. All the babies hated each other. "I... Was part of the attack on Canterlot during the royal wedding... But I had never seen true friendship like that, before you started massacring us." He said. "You mean..." Gohan said. "Yes. The six ponies who stood together and fought. And I just couldn't steal and feed on it's love... I wanted to share it. So I escaped before you could kill me." He said. "Oh. I'm sorry I did that." Gohan said. "Don't be. After that, I knew I couldn't live with my kind anymore. I left, looking for love to share... But..." He said. "But what?" Gohan asked. "It's the Crystal Empire! I'm starving! It's full of love, and it's what drew me here! It's driving me CRAZY!" He said. "You came because of the royal crystalling. And I think I have a temporary solution to your problem." Gohan said. "Oh yeah? Like what?" He asked. Gohan reached into his senzu bean pouch. He tossed a bean over to him. "Eat it. You won't be hungry after that." Gohan said. "B-But changelings eat love..." He said. "Trust me. It won't kill you, I promise." Gohan said. The changeling gulped before he ate the bean. Suddenly, he wasn't hungry anymore. "W-Wha? I... I'm not hungry?" He asked. "Senzu beans are a miracle, restoring your stamina and healing you." Gohan said. "I... I didn't expect you of all kind to help me." The changeling said. "I don't needlessly kill. I don't want to fight and be a hero at all, actually. But, sometimes, victory is the only option to save your friends." Gohan said. "Thank you so much... If I made a friend, the love would probably sustain me so I could live, but... Because I'm a changeling, nobody wants to be my friend." He said. "I'll be your friend." Gohan said. "Y-You would!? Y-You're not going to accuse me of trying to attack or anything?" He asked. "I would be able to tell. There are no other changelings close by." Gohan said. "And I would be able to feel the lie in your energy." He added. "R-Really? Thank you..." He said. "Let's start out with introductions. My name is-" "Son Gohan, yes. Queen Chrysalis informed all of us about you... And I watched you fight Tirek." The changeling interrupted. "Oh. She's still alive, huh. And what's your name?" Gohan asked. "I'm Thorax! I can't believe you want to be my friend!" Thorax said. "Well, I don't judge a book by it's cover. Once I know all about it, I can actually make a decision about it. We'll be best friends!" Gohan said. Thorax hissed accidentally. "Oh, oh gosh, I'm sorry! That just happens whenever I feel love..." He said. "Do you still want to be my friend?" He asked. "Of course. It's not like you would hurt me. Or could, actually. I'd rather defend you." Gohan said. "You would?" Thorax asked. "I'm sure I can get the Crystal Empire to be friends with you too. I have a bit of a connection with the princess." Gohan said. "Really!?" Thorax asked, suddenly hissing like crazy. He shut his mouth. "I could. In fact, let's go there now!" Gohan said. "Y-You're going to take me in the Crystal Empire?" Thorax asked. Gohan put two fingers to his head, and held his hand out. "Grab on. I'll teleport us there." He said. "S-Shouldn't you just... Take me after you tell them about me?" Thorax asked. "Why?" Gohan asked. "They'll attack me!" Thorax said. "Don't worry, as long as you're behind me, they won't get through." Gohan said. "Are you sure? Princess Cadence is an alicorn!" Thorax said. "There's another one there too, but they don't stand a chance against me. Don't worry." Gohan said. "...I'm trusting you." Thorax said, taking Gohan's hand. *** The two popped in the throne room, where the baby was, and etc. Plus the guards. "Hello Gohan, y- You brought back the changeling as prisoner?" Twilight asked. Gohan shook his head. "This changeling is not an enemy. He's nice." He said. "H-Hi, everyone." Thorax said, gulping. "Seize him!" Shining Armor commanded. "No, stay back! He's nice, I tell you!" Gohan said, standing in front of Thorax. "How could a changeling be nice?" Spike asked. "There are none." Cadence and Shining Armor said. "That's a lie." Gohan said. "Gohan's right, he doesn't have any bad energy in him." Goten said, walking up to the two. "Except genetic impulses." Gohan said. "He's tricking you! Get him!" Shining Armor commanded. All the guards charged at Thorax, but Gohan grabbed him and jumped up. Goten jumped up too. All the guards crashed into each other as a result. "Listen to me! He's a nice changeling, and doesn't want to hurt anyone!" Gohan said. Thorax got out of Gohan's grasp. "I can fly." He said. "Sorry." Gohan said. "There is no such thing. The changeling, Queen Chrysalis kidnapped Cadence and cast a spell on me." Shining Armor said. "Yeah. My race used to conquer planets and kill people for fun, and you don't see me or Goten doing that." Gohan said. "He's right. Vegeta told me ALL about it in a rant against our dad." Goten said. "Who's this 'Vegeta?'" Cadence asked. "The Prince of the Saiyans. Or, really, the former." Gohan said. "You know, I actually kind of get it." Spike said. "Not you too!" Twilight said. "We lost two of our best fighters to the changelings!?" Shining Armor asked. "What don't you get about nice changelings? It's possible for there to be an odd one out of an entire race!" Gohan said. "I don't want to hurt any of you! The other changelings hate everything, but I want to love everything! I'm not evil!" Thorax said. "Get him!" Shining Armor said, ignoring everything. Gohan grabbed Thorax and teleported them away. "Great, NOW they're gone!" Shining Armor said. "They could be anywhere!" Twilight said. "Goten, can you sense your brother's energy?" Starlight asked. "I could, but it just died down all of a sudden. I can't find it anymore." Goten said. "Great, just great! Search the Empire, we don't have time to lose!" Shining Armor commanded. *** The two were back in the ice cavern. Thorax sighed. "I knew it. None of them wanted to be my friend." Thorax said. "Hey... Don't beat yourself up. I know it's hard to loved when people refuse to see anything but your faults." Gohan said. "How would you know...?" Thorax asked. 'I might as well tell him since he's my friend now.' Gohan thought. "I'm in Equestria because of that." Gohan said. "What do you mean?" Thorax asked. Gohan sighed. "Where I come from, I did something terrible. I'm not gonna tell you yet, but it was grave. Everyone looked at me, refusing to look at my good side, and instantly thought I deserved to die." He said. Thorax was shocked to hear that. "O-Oh... Jeez... I'm sorry to hear that..." Thorax said. "Don't be. We all made up." Gohan said. "Really?" Thorax said. "Yeah. I'm glad I'm in Equestria and made friends, and I'm sure you will make more." Gohan said. "How?" Thorax asked. "My brother wanted to be your friend." Gohan said. "That was your brother?" Thorax asked. "The weird hair runs in the family, okay?" Gohan asked. "Okay..." Thorax said. "Look, we'll convince them somehow. I don't know how, but we will." Gohan said. "And you'll need our help!" A voice came from behind. Gohan turned around while Thorax looked up. Goten and Spike! "Goten? Spike?" Gohan asked. Goten came flying down, taking Spike. "We trust you to be our friend!" Spike said. Thorax suddenly hissed by accident, scaring Spike. "Sorry, I don't mean to..." He said. "Its genetic for the changelings." Gohan said. "Oh, okay." Spike said. "So... Three friends are backing you up. Any of us have suggestions?" Gohan asked. "We could try again." Goten said. "Yeah, but Twilight and Shining Armor will just shut down the argument again." Spike said. "Trust me, I know." He said. "We need to get them to understand how he can be like any other pony..." Goten said. "...Maybe... We could have him change into a regular pony!" Spike said. "What'll that do?" Thorax asked. "Ah, I see. Get him to spend some time with them, and reveal that he was a changeling the whole time!" Gohan said. "Exactly!" Spike said. "So... How do we do this?" Thorax asked. "We'll need to come up with a plan." Gohan said. "I love those!" Spike said. *** Spike, Gohan, Goten, and another pony entered the castle. This was the pony. https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/mlp/images/3/3d/Crystal_Hoof_ID_S6E16.png/revision/latest?cb=20170731011214 "Spike! Gohan? Where's that changeling?" Twilight asked from the other side of the hall. "Oh. Him? Turns out you guys really made him sad and he made me kill him. Seriously, that was brutal." Gohan said. "Yeah, I was able to see it happen. Changeling blood is just oozy..." Spike said. "Really? The changeling's dead!?" Twilight said cheerfully. The pony was just staring at Twilight. "A-And who is this fine gentleman?" Twilight asked. "He's my friend! Crystal Hoof. We've been pen pals since the Friendship Games." Spike said. "I'm not happy about killing him, Twilight." Gohan said. Crystal Hoof held up a hoof. "Nice to meet you." He said. "Oh." Twilight said, hoof bumping. "Well, it's nice to meet you too! How do you know about Spike?" She added. "Friendship Games." Crystal Hoof said. "And you said you were a pen pal!?" Twilight asked. "Uh huh." Crystal Hoof said, nodding. "Spike! You never told me you had a pen pal! You could've been using my pen pal quill set!" Twilight said, fluttering her wings in excitement. "Why didn't you tell me?" She added. "Well, I only write to him whenever you and Starlight are studying." Spike said. "I-I like to brag to my friends about my letters from Spike the Brave and Glorious!" Crystal Hoof said. "Well, I'm sure Starlight and I can manage. Well, you can go spend time with your friend." Twilight said. "Yeah, uh... He promised me to take me around the city." Spike said. "Have fun! Oh, and Gohan, tell Shining Armor what you did." Twilight said. "Will do." Gohan said. *** Spike and Crystal Hoof spent the day around town. You know, talking to ponies, being friends, having fun, giving autographed photos of Spike, being funny, etc. Crystal Hoof was happy with Friendship... Did I say Crystal Hoof? It's really Thorax. Like you didn't know, hah! Anyway, now Gohan, Spike and Crystal Hoof are going to see the baby again. They traversed the halls. "This place is everything I ever dreamed of!" Crystal Hoof said. "And you get some quality time with the important ponies." Gohan said. "Spike!" Cadence called. The three rushed into the throne room. "Twilight told me you had a friend." Cadence said, scaring Gohan and Spike. She walked up to Crystal Hoof. "And any friend of Spike the Brave and Glorious is a friend of ours!" Cadence said. "Who wants to play a board game!?" Twilight asked, pulling out a clone of Monopoly. "I do!" Crystal Hoof said. "I would, but where did Goten head off to?" Gohan asked. "I think he went out to look at the Crystal Heart." Shining Armor said. "That... That doesn't sound like something he'd do... Eh. I'll be back soon!" Gohan said, running to the Crystal Heart. *** Goten was watching the Crystal Heart constantly spin and speed up and slow down. "Goten, what are you doing?" Gohan asked. "I like looking at the Crystal Heart!" Goten said. Gohan chuckled. *** Now the two of them were staring at it. "I see what you mean, Goten." Gohan said. "Yep!" Goten said. *** After some equally stupid knock off board games, Gohan and Goten finally came back. "What took you two so long?" Twilight asked. "Staring at the Crystal Heart was a lot more interesting than I thought." Gohan said. "Did Crystal Hoof see Flurry Heart yet?" Goten asked. "Oh! That reminds me... Sunburst, could you bring Flurry over here?" Cadence asked. Sunburst did, and now he was seeing Flurry Heart. Gohan and Goten ran up to the baby too. Flurry reached out to Crystal Hoof in smiles. "She's so beautiful! There's so much love..." Crystal Hoof said before starting to lose it. "Around her that I... I..." Crystal Hoof said before his genetic impulses took over and he turned backed into a changeling. He hissed by accident. Everyone else gasped! "Crapbaskets." Gohan said. "I-I'm sssssso sssssorrry!" Thorax hissed. Gohan, Goten and Spike were quick to come to his side, while everyone else had a mean face towards him and was ready to kick ass. "Gohan, I thought you said you killed him!" Twilight yelled. "He lied, he must be under Chrysalis' control!" Shining Armor said. "Okay, now you're just in denial." Gohan said. "Spike, get away from that thing!" Twilight said. "Wait! No! You don't understand!" Spike said as Twilight grabbed him with her magic. "This was all part of the plan!" He said. "Plan? What plan?" Cadence asked. Gohan sighed. "You see, we wanted to prove to you that there IS a good changeling." He said. "But there is none!" Shining Armor yelled. "There's one right here!" Gohan yelled. "Where's Chrysalis!?" Shining Armor demanded. Spike ran back to the Saiyans. "Spik-" "-No!" Spike interrupted Twilight. "I dunno who this Chrysalis is, but she sounds evil." Goten said. "That's because she is, Goten." Gohan said. "Enough stalling!" Cadence yelled. "If anything, you're the one who's stalling! We just want you to accept Thorax as a friend!" Gohan said. "So he could steal Flurry Heart from us!?" Shining Armor asked. "Stop jumping to conclusions like that! You all are just refusing to see anything but his faults now that he's revealed himself!" Gohan said. You had to admit, that's true. "H-He... I... Dang it, that's good." Twilight said. "This is why we're on Thorax's side. He has his problems, but who doesn't? He's shown to be nice, harmless and apologetic!" Spike said. "And he did refuse to attack Flurry Heart." Goten said. "So, what's your defense? What are you going to say that debunks all of this?" Gohan asked. ... Silence... Then Twilight walked up to Spike. "You're right." She said, sorrow in her voice. "Huh?" Everyone behind her said. "We just assumed this changeling was evil... We refused to accept him because of something he didn't really do." She added. Starlight understood. She walked beside Twilight. "Gohan, Spike and Goten could see that he was different. That he was the odd one out of all the changelings." She said. Everyone else started to understand. "I'm proud of you, Spike. You risked your popularity and friendship with us to do this." Twilight said, hugging Spike. Gohan smiled. "Does that mean Thorax is your friend too?" Goten asked. "Yes, it does! If Thorax is any one of your friends, then he's mine too!" Twilight said, gesturing for a hoof bump. Thorax shook her hoof instead. "Thank you!" He said with tears. "On behalf of the Crystal Empire,-" Cadence said. "I would like to extend my hoof in friendship, and I'm sure all of my subjects are eager to do the same." She said. Everyone cheered.... Cadence trusted Thorax enough to put Flurry in front of him. Thorax hesitated before smiling, and Flurry clearly liked him too. "Welcome to the Crystal Empire, Thorax. I'm sorry we didn't take the time to get to know you, even when Gohan presented you to us. Maybe we can change that now?" Shining Armor asked. "In your true form!" Gohan said with a wink. "That's so amazing! I want to learn all about friendship, and maybe one day I can take that knowledge back to the changeling kingdom! If my kind learned how to create love for one another, maybe they wouldn't have to take it from others!" Thorax said. "To Spike the Brave and Glorious and his weaker friend Gohan!" A guard yelled. "...What was that?" Spike asked. "What? You ARE stronger than me." Gohan said with a wink. Everyone started cheering. 'How do these guards not see through his lie?' Spike thought. *** Gohan's call from the map involved... The next chapter! Yeah! You have to wait! Fuck you! Well, no. Not really fuck you, I wuv u... And finally, holy shit, Sunset's asking Gohan out. *** Gohan and Goten were heading home from the soccer field. They had a wicked training session, and the girls all got weights. Everyone sparred, and Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy, surprisingly, said they want to make a habit of it. So Gohan left the senzu beans he had with the Humane 7. Well, the two were now at the portal. "Gohan!" Sunset called from behind. Gohan and Goten turned around. She was running at them. "Hi Sunset. What's wrong?" Gohan asked. She stood in front of them now. "I have something to ask you. In private." Sunset said. "Okay. Goten, do you mind going ahead?" Gohan asked. "No. I'll just eat dinner before you get home." Goten said. "Dang it." Gohan said. Goten went through the portal. "So, what's up?" Gohan asked. "I was wondering if... Well... Um..." Sunset said. "Take all the time you need." Gohan said. "Well, I wanted to if... You... Would like to... Um..." Sunset kept stuttering. Gohan didn't move a muscle. Sunset sighed. "Do you want to go out with me on prom night?" She asked. "Prom night? What's that?" Gohan asked. "Y-You don't know what prom is?" Sunset asked. Gohan shook his head. Sunset fell over on her back. She just asked him out... But he didn't know what prom was. 'Damn it, Gohan!' She thought. She got herself up again. "Prom is a dance held at the end of the year. It's like the Fall Formal." Sunset said. "And you're inviting me?" Gohan asked. "Well, kind of. I was wondering if... You wanted to go out with me." Sunset said. "Go... Out?" Gohan asked, genuinely confused. "You don't know what I mean, do you." Sunset asked. "Nope. Sorry." Gohan said. "Rarity was right, you are romantically inept..." Sunset muttered. "What was that?" Gohan asked. "Nothing, nothing. I was wondering if you would take me out on a date to prom." Sunset said. "When is it?" Gohan asked. "A few weeks." Sunset said. "Then I'll accept, I guess." Gohan said. "You would?" Sunset asked in surprise. "Sure, but I-" "Thankyouthankyou, Thank you!" Sunset interrupted, giving Gohan a BIIIIG hug. "Uh... Y-Yeah... You're welcome... Uh... Can I ask why you asked me?" Gohan asked. Sunset broke the hug. "O-Oh... Uh... Well, everyone else in group happened to find a date. Even Twilight. I wasn't able to... So I asked you." Sunset said. "So... I'm like a last resort." Gohan said. "N-No! I like you enough to go out with you..." Sunset said. Gohan still hasn't interpreted it as a romantic connection. He gets that shit from Goku. At least he didn't think marriage is a food. "Okay." Gohan said. "See you." He added, walking into the portal. Rarity came walking up to Sunset. "So... How did it go?" She asked eagerly. "To be honest, I don't think he realizes I like him." Sunset said. *** He really doesn't. Clueless, I know. Anyway, that's a wrap. The next one will be Gohan's call. Why is Gohan's old call in a compilation but this one isn't...? Because I said so. Anyway, see ya. Author's Note Dang it! I didn't get it out before tomorrow yesterday! Ugh! Anyway, thanks. (If you guess what the next chapter is about then you get extra brownie points.) Oh, and uh, I edited King Sombra's return a bit. You can see which one it is. Please let me know if it's better.
Gohan's Second Call (Wrath of the Dragon Pt. 1)The land was desolate. Full of stone and destruction. An ocarina dropped to the ground... And said ocarina was crushed by a giant foot. In this place, a lone boy stood. With a bit of a mohawk of orange hair, blue eyes, and a sword: Lights and ectoplasm flashed everywhere around him. He kept his grip on the sheathed sword on his back. He turned around and unsheathed the sword! A giant foot came down on him, and in his final moments, he only screamed as it finally crushed him. Dead... The sword of his fell... Stabbed into the ground. The wind blew... And the monster was gone. Loud maniacal laughter could be heard... "Next stop, Equestria!" He said. *** It was a normal day in the human world... By normal I mean abnormal. It was the weekend, and the Humane 7 were all hanging around school for a picnic. But they saw the traffic nearby... A car was running through all of them! "Robbers!" Rainbow Dash yelled. The cops were even trailing them. "We need to get Gohan!" Fluttershy said. "No." Applejack said. "WE'RE the ones to stop them, Fluttershy." Rainbow Dash said. "Oh..." Fluttershy said. "Let's go!" Sunset said. The robbers managed to smash the cop cars into other cars. "Heh. I guess that's one way to get them off our tails!" A robber said. The Humane 7 all stood in front of the car. "Get out of the way!" A robber yelled. "Together, ready? HA!" Rainbow Dash yelled, then everyone else yelled. They all ran into the car full force, stopping it effectively. In fact, they flipped it over. "WHAT!?" They all asked. They were still alive. "Hah! That's what you get for being so stupid!" Rainbow Dash said. The robbers were still alive... And one pulled a machine gun on them. Rainbow Dash recoiled in fear because of that. He sprayed them! Most of the girls dodged, but Fluttershy was brave enough to catch them. "I did it!" Fluttershy said. "Awesome!" Rainbow Dash said. She dropped them all to the ground, making the robbers fear the girls. "Our turn!" Pinkie yelled. They all fired a blast at the car, making it explode. The robbers were still alive... The other cops arrived on the scene, and arrested the seriously injured robbers. One ran up to the girls. "Who are you, and how did you do that!?" He asked. They realized how it felt when Gohan did shit like this. "Girls, close your eyes." Sunset whispered. So they did. Sunset performed the Solar Flare. "Solar Flare!" She yelled. Everyone around them were blinded! "Nice!" Rainbow Dash said. They all flew away. But... They saw something bad going on. Some guy was going to jump off a building! "NONE OF YOU REALLY CARE!" He screamed, catching the attention of the girls. This is what he looks like... https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/villains/images/d/d3/Hoi05.png/revision/latest?cb=20170125093426 "We can't even see you anymore!" A guy yelled. "You don't know what it's like to live in despair!" The old man yelled. "One step, and it'll all be over!" He yelled. "Do you really think he's gonna jump?" A guy asked. "We can't even see him anymore!" Another guy yelled. The Humane 7 all nodded to each other and flew at this depressed old man. "I've already made my mind, I'm going to jump!" He yelled. Then the 7 appeared. "That's not a problem." Sunset said. "Just take my hand before you do, okay?" She asked, holding her hand out. "GET BACK! I WANT TO DIE!" He yelled. "Then what are you waiting for?" Rainbow Dash said. "Rainbow Dash! What are you doing!?" Fluttershy asked. "Well, we don't HAVE all day!" Rainbow Dash sneered. "Well, You'll see!" The old man yelled, jumping off. He screamed. "Oh no!" Applejack said. The girls all scurried over to help him. Rainbow Dash and Applejack caught him in mid air. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING!? I should sue!" The old man yelled. "You're welcome." Rainbow Dash sneered. *** The group were now back at the portal with the old man. "You're safe now!" Pinkie yelled. "You idiots!" The old man yelled. "Let's start off easy... What's your name?" Twilight asked. "Hoi..." Hoi said. "Okay, now what the heck were you thinking!?" Rainbow Dash yelled. "Dash, calm down." Sunset said. "Now, sugarcube, tell us why yer all suicidal and stuff." Applejack said. "Because HE will come! And we need the legendary warrior Tapion to defeat him!" The old man yelled. "Tapion? He? Who are either of these?" Rarity asked. "You mean to tell me... You haven't heard of Tapion the brave?" Hoi asked. "Uh... No. We haven't." Sunset said. "He was only the hero who single handedly saved Planet Conose of the South Galaxy a thousand years ago! What do they teach you kids in school anyway?" Hoi said. "So you're from space...?" Fluttershy asked. "I mean, we're best friends with aliens so, we shouldn't judge him." Sunset said. "You think we can meet him?" Pinkie asked. "Of course." Hoi said with a smirk. This whole thing wasn't feeling right with Twilight... "So, where is he?" Sunset asked. "I thought you'd never ask." Hoi said. He pulled out something from his robe... "I just happened to have brought him along!" He said, pulling out a musical box... ... "Are you sure he's not some old geezer from a retirement home?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Dash!" Fluttershy said. "You see... Unfortunately, he's been confined in this mysterious musical box." Hoi said. "Isn't he a hero? Why would he be confined?" Applejack asked. "A conundrum that begs to be solved..." Hoi said. "Then lets wind up the box! Get him out! I wanna see more legendary warriors!" Pinkie yelled. "More... You say?" Hoi asked. "We'll talk later." Sunset said. "Conose was spared... But now the same crisis threatens Equestria!" Hoi yelled. "What?" Everyone asked. "The evil will ravage Equestria, then the universe! Consuming all! There's nothing you can do to stop it! Only Tapion can save you now!" Hoi said. "I dunno... We kinda got a legendary super warrior to defend us from that." Rainbow Dash said. "I wanna meet Tapion!" Pinkie said, raising her hand. "That's why I have come! That's why I've been searching for this music box for the last thirty years!" Hoi said. "Then open it already." Twilight said. "Don't you think I've tried!?" Hoi asked. "But you're not able to open it?" Rarity asked. "You may try..." Hoi said, presenting the music box. "Let me handle this..." Rainbow Dash said, taking the box. She tried moving it... But nothing. "What the!? It's not moving!" Rainbow Dash said as she strained long and hard. "You need a little elbow grease, gimme that." Applejack said, trying herself. Nothing. "What? I guess you're right..." Applejack said. "Ooh! Why don't we call Gohan!?" Pinkie asked. "Yeah... Maybe he can open it!" Sunset said. "Who is this Gohan you speak of?" Hoi asked. "Our friend. I think he's stronger than this Tapion..." Sunset said. "Oh, but I wouldn't dare say that." Hoi said. *** Gohan was training in the World of Kais. He was getting some special training. Even without the Z-Sword, he learned new techniques. And was training harder than ever. The Supreme Kai was hurling multiple blocks of katchin, the strongest metal in the universe at Gohan. Gohan was kicking and punching each of them. He had to admit, it was hard, but he could still break it. He didn't have to unleash his full power, but it was still good training for him. "Amazing... His power is undoubtedly beyond that of the Supreme Kai." Kibito said. "Well yes, obviously. It's shame about his father..." Old Kai said. "He mustn't know about that." Kibito said. Gohan smashed the final block of katchin before taking a rest. "Amazing job, Son Gohan." Shin said. "You can just call me Gohan." Gohan said. "Gohan, you used to wield a sword, correct?" Shin asked. "Yeah, before Janemba broke it in half." Gohan said. "Would you like a replacement?" Shin asked. "No, it's okay. I liked the old one, but my true strength lies within me." Gohan said. Then he started to glow yellow for some reason... "W-Why are you glowing?" Shin asked. "I am...? Oh, I am! Sorry, Supreme Kai, I have to leave." Gohan said. "Okay. Feel free to come back whenever you wish." Shin said. "Bye!" Gohan said as he teleported away. *** Gohan was at Twilight's castle. And in the Cutie map room. "You're going back there again?" Twilight asked. "Yeah. Why does the map have to do this?" Gohan asked. "Maybe that world just has some worse things happening than over here." Twilight said. "Last time I became a defense attorney. There's nothing that can possibly make it worse than the magical occurrences that happen here." Gohan said. *** "I wouldn't dare say that." Hoi said. Then Gohan came through the portal. "Gohan! Good timing!" Sunset said. "H-Hello... Who's this fine gentleman?" Gohan asked. "I am Hoi... This is the legendary warrior you speak of? He's but a boy!" Hoi said. "He's stronger than you think, buddy." Rainbow Dash said. "What happened?" Gohan asked. "This old guy tried killing himself just so he could get us to open this weirdly powerful box!" Rainbow Dash said. "I apologize for my deception..." Hoi said. "That's okay. You should just ask next time." Fluttershy said. "What's the point?" Gohan asked. "There's a legendary warrior called Tapion inside! Apparently it's Equestria's last hope against a crisis!" Pinkie said cheerfully. "Wow. Maybe we'll need this Tapion." Gohan said. "It's sealed with powerful magic." Hoi said as he handed the box to Gohan. "Magic? I'm not sure I can open this now..." Gohan said. "Come on, you can do it!" Sunset said. "Strength is one thing, but there are other things when it comes to magic..." Gohan said. "Please, I beg of you... Try!" Hoi said. "Okay." Gohan said before he took a deep breath. He tried to move the handle... To no effect. He started grunting. "Come on, you can do it!" Sunset said. Gohan strained so hard that he ended up turning Super Saiyan. The winds and aura nearly blew Hoi away! The girls were kind of blinded by it... They were witnessing Gohan's full power, anyway. He stopped and reverted back to base form. "It won't budge." Gohan said. "I told you." Hoi said. "But... I think I know how." Gohan said. "What!?" Everyone asked. "You have something else in mind?" Hoi asked. "Hey girls, why don't you use your magic on this box?" Gohan asked. "Oh, I see! Magic on magic!" Twilight said. "Will it work?" Hoi asked. "We'll have to find out. Ready, girls?" Sunset asked. Twilight stepped back. The Humane 6 all ponied up! Hoi watched in astonishment. They combined the magic to create a rainbow to rain down on the box! "Hey... The handle's moving!" Gohan said. "Yes! Release Tapion from his confinement!" Hoi yelled. "The music..." Twilight said. It was peaceful. The box opened! Huge winds emitted from the box, causing everyone to look away. Well, except Gohan. Smoke formed someone... "Are you guys seeing this!?" Rainbow Dash said. "Amazing..." Gohan said. The Humane 7 watched as they ponied down. Hoi stepped back... And he started to glow blue randomly. His eyes were red too. It's as if he... Was trying to do something sinister... Invisible waves were sent towards this smokey person. However, they were instantly broken, and returned to Hoi. The person who emerged broke his own box! A blinding flash of blue light appeared, then suddenly died down! A warrior appeared! Playing the ocarina... https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/dragonball/images/2/25/TapionHerosFluteSong1.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20160716205518 He slowly floated down to the ground. "Hoi was right..." Twilight said. The man stopped playing his ocarina and opened his eyes. They turned out to be green. "Cool!" Rainbow Dash said. "Catchy tune." Sunset said. Hoi walked up to this man with a smile on his face. And he unsheathed his sword on him! "Stay back!" He demanded. "Awesome!" Rainbow Dash said. This man was Tapion! "Was it you who revived me!?" Tapion asked. "You're very welcome! Nice to have some leg room after a thousand years, huh?" Hoi asked. "You old fool! Send me back!" Tapion yelled. "You're the one who broke the box, buddy." Rainbow Dash said. Tapion shot her glare, scaring her. "Not an option... Now that the music box has been destroyed..." Hoi said. Tapion was clearly not happy. Hoi looked down at his ocarina. "Hello, sir. My name's Gohan! We had a bit of a struggle getting you out!" Gohan said. Tapion turned around. "Do you have any idea what you've done? Well, do you? I don't know if I can stop him this time." Tapion said. "Him? What's wrong?" Gohan asked. Tapion simply walked away. 'Stop him...?' Gohan thought. "He's cool!" Rainbow Dash said. "And mysterious." Rarity said. "Very, very mysterious..." Gohan said. "So, is he stronger than you?" Sunset asked. "It doesn't look like it... But he's definitely strong. He's exponentially stronger than all of you." Gohan said. "Whoa, what?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Something's fishy about this Hoi..." Twilight muttered. 'Tapion may be the Friendship problem...' Gohan thought. *** Tapion hid in an abandoned army base. Rainbow Dash managed to get Fluttershy to come with her. "Are you sure this is a good idea?" Fluttershy asked. "Well, yeah! I want to know more about this Tapion guy!" Rainbow Dash said. "He's down there..." Fluttershy said, pointing at a hatch. She lifted the hatch. "Um... Mr. Tapion? Sir?" Fluttershy asked. "Hey! Anybody home!?" Rainbow Dash called. Tapion was clearly not normal. He was grabbing his head in some sort of struggle. He grunted loudly. "GO AWAY!" He screamed. Fluttershy cowered so much its as if she vanished. Rainbow Dash shut the hatch. "Fluttershy?" She asked frantically. 'Where did she go?' She thought. Fluttershy was flying away as fast as she could. *** So Gohan was roped into another slumber party. At Pinkie's. Again. Gohan and Fluttershy were still very puzzled by this Tapion. Twilight was puzzled by Hoi. Pinkie ordered the pizza, and... It came. "Hey guys, I need to head out for a bit." Gohan said. "Why?" Sunset asked. "I'll be taking this." Gohan said, taking an entire pizza box. "You want to eat alone?" Pinkie asked. "Yeah." Gohan said. He flew out the window. "Do you ever close that, Pinkie?" Rarity asked. "No." Pinkie said. "Maybe I should follow him..." Fluttershy said. "Does someone have a crush~?" Pinkie joked. Sunset shot Pinkie a death stare. "N-No!" Fluttershy said, waving her hands. Rainbow Dash snickered. She flew after Gohan. "You asked him out, right?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Doesn't even realize it." Sunset said. *** Gohan arrived at the abandoned place. And he felt Fluttershy incoming. He didn't move until she arrived. "So, why'd you follow?" Gohan asked. "I... I wanted to see Tapion. He yelled at me last time..." Fluttershy said. "So you tried to talk to him?" Gohan asked. Fluttershy nodded. "Hopefully we'll have better luck this time." Gohan said as he walked towards the desolate building. Fluttershy followed. This time, they went the door way. Inside, Tapion was grunting like crazy. He was clearly trying hard to do something... And the presence of the two just made him angry. So he stood up and unsheathed his sword! Fluttershy instinctively hid behind Gohan. "Uh... Hello, sir..." Gohan said. He walked over to a barrel and placed the pizza box on there. "Help yourself..." He said. Tapion only sheathed his sword and sat down. "You can't save the world on an empty stomach..." Fluttershy said. Tapion didn't respond. He only shot glares at the two. And that scared Fluttershy. "We'llbeoutsideifyouneedus!" She said instantly as she ran out. "Well... See you later, sir." Gohan said, walking after her. They just left. Back to Pinkie's... On the way back, the two noticed something bad happening in Hoofington. A monster was rampaging! Or, half of one, really. It was just legs. https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/dbz-dokkanbattle/images/b/bf/Artwork_1012430.png/revision/latest?cb=20171220014748 The military tried stopping it to no effect! "Gohan, we have to help!" Fluttershy said. "You're right, let's go!" Gohan said, and the two flew at the half monster. 'What could've done this...' He thought. Fires were happening, explosions, and the town was pretty busted! The two landed in a street. "Show yourself!" Gohan yelled. "I hope he is... Is..." Fluttershy kept repeating as she saw the gargantuan monster. She quickly ran away. "Go back to Pinkie's place!" Gohan yelled. The monster's size wasn't the issue, it was it's power level. Apparently the half monster had a tail, and it tried to hit Gohan with it after destroying a ton of buildings with it. Gohan jumped out of the way. 'Could this be the evil that destroyed Conose?' He thought. The half attacked Gohan with his tail again, and it hit this time. It was critical. Gohan landed safely, though. 'This'll be a bruise...' He thought. "Let's do this the hard way then!" Gohan yelled, powering up. The ground below cracked immensely. And the rocks of cement flew into the sky. He was at full power in base form! "Let's go!" Gohan yelled as he flew at this half. He kicked the stomach, but nothing happened. "That barely worked!" Gohan said as he flew away. He dove in for another shot, but then the monster turned into some sort of ectoplasm and disappeared. Gohan was definitely confused by this. But the monster appeared again, and attacked with his tail! Gohan managed to dodge that, and the incoming foot. He proceeded to fire a Kamehameha wave at the monster. It was strong enough to make the monster fall over into a building. "I have to power up!" Gohan said, turning Super Saiyan. It got itself up and attacked again! By stomping again! Gohan dodged and kicked it in the side real hard! Then, he kicked the feet of the monster, causing it to fall over into more buildings. Gohan flew up, and charged up a barrage. "Masenko!" He yelled as he fired multiple beams. With each beam, the explosion grew bigger. It could be seen from other cities! He finally ended his assault, catching his breath for five seconds. He knew the monster was still there, he could sense it. 'This isn't good.' He thought. But then... He heard music. 'Tapion?' He thought. The smoke cleared... And the monster was gone. Gohan reverted back to base form in confusion. Inside the dying smoke, Gohan saw Tapion. He was walking away, playing his ocarina. He stopped playing and shot Gohan a mean glare. Then, he disappeared into the shadows... Gohan quickly went to inspect the place, but Tapion just vanished. Nearby, atop many buildings, a hooded man was running. He glared at Gohan before laughing and making his escape. "I know one thing... Tapion knows all about this." Gohan muttered. *** Tapion was back at his hiding place. He inspected his ocarina. 'Curse that old man...' He thought. "Tapion." A voice came. Tapion looked ahead to see Gohan. With some drinks! Water bottles, mainly. "I brought you some drinks." He said. Gohan noticed the untouched pizza. "Leave me alone." Tapion said. Gohan sighed as he placed them beside the pizza box. "At least you're talking." He said. Tapion was angry at this point. "LEAVE ME ALONE!" Tapion yelled. Gohan was clearly unfazed, but respected Tapion enough to leave. He casually walked away before flying away. "Stupid kid... He doesn't know the true strength of him..." Tapion muttered. *** Gohan flew back into Pinkie's room. The Humane 7 were all playing spin the nail polish bottle. Just to paint fingernails. Don't get any ideas. "You're back." Sunset said. "Why are you here later than Fluttershy?" Applejack asked. "I was busy." Gohan said. "So, care to explain this?" Rainbow Dash asked, pulling out her phone. It was a news story about the attack on Hoofington. The recording was Gohan's Masenko barrage from afar. "Well, you all know what I was doing." Gohan said. "Why?" Sunset asked. "There was a big, giant, scary monster destroying the place!" Fluttershy said. "I don't even understand how it ended." Gohan said. "Didn't you kill it or something?" Pinkie asked. Gohan shook his head. "He just vanished out of nowhere." He said. "That doesn't sound good." Applejack said. "What's weird is... I saw Tapion walking away when it vanished." Gohan said, sitting down. "Tapion? He was there?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Yeah... I think he sealed the monster or something... It's really odd." Gohan said. "Well, let's forget about that right now. We're playing spin the nail polish bottle!" Pinkie said. "I absolutely refuse to wear nail polish!" Gohan retorted. *** Tapion was now sleeping... "No!" He yelled at himself. "You can't sleep! Not now..." He said. He was tired as hell. But... Eventually, he succumbed to the hands of sleep, and dozed off. He dropped his ocarina, too. Smoke flew out of him... And a portal appeared! Blue one. Thunder struck. The lights and sounds woke the warrior up. "No... No!" Tapion said. He quickly went to his belt, but his ocarina wasn't there. An outstretched hand reached towards Tapion! Tapion just narrowly jumped out of the way! The portal opened even more... And this guy was HUGE! https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/dbz-dokkanbattle/images/c/c4/Artwork_1012440.png/revision/latest?cb=20171220014533 Tapion saw his ocarina lying on the ground. With this big guy, it was gonna be hard to get it! The monster threw a fist at Tapion, and it burst through the walls! Tapion dodged again, flying at his ocarina. He caught it, but he soon had his back against the wall. The monster was about to take a bite outta him... But... The music... It started playing... The monster reached out in vain as it was pulled back into the warrior, where it came! Tapion stopped playing, then panted in relief. *** The very next morning... "Woah. What happened here?" Rainbow Dash asked. "It seems like somebody attacked the place... I hope Tapion's alright..." Fluttershy said. Rainbow Dash carried a bag from a 7 eleven knock off store with a few sandwiches inside. Fluttershy held a small container of milk. The two entered the ruined place... "Oh thank goodness! You're okay!" Fluttershy said. Tapion was really getting pissed off now. He shot them death stares while slowly unsheathing his sword. "Maybe we should've brought Gohan..." Rainbow Dash said. "Um... Hello! We brought you breakfast!..." Fluttershy said. She noticed the empty pizza box. "You ate all the pizza... Good. We'll just leave these here..." Fluttershy said, putting the milk on another barrel. Rainbow Dash put the sandwiches on the barrel. "It's sandwiches. I hope you like egg salad." Rainbow Dash said. The two flew away. Tapion stopped his glares and calmed down. He sat still, glaring at the ground. Then his stomach rumbled. He growled at it before just sighing and walking over to the food. *** Goten came through the portal at school. "Goooohaaaaaaan!" Goten yelled. He could sense his energy at Pinkie's. 'He went off training, and now he's here?' He thought. Goten flew towards Pinkie's place. Speaking of which... Gohan was awake. Everyone else was asleep. Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy were just missing. And he could feel Goten incoming. 'Well, here we go...' He thought. Author's Note Well, surprise! I should give power levels for this! Tapion - 7,700,000,000 Monster - Next chapter Hoi - 5 And Equestria as two worlds? I mean, you can think about it.
A Warrior's Day and a Second Use (Wrath of the Dragon Pt. 2)Goten came flying through the window. "Good morning, Gohan." He said. "Good morning." Gohan whispered. "Why are you here?" Goten whispered. "I have to solve some sort of Friendship problem!" Gohan said. "Oh... Okay!" Goten said. "There's some legendary warrior around. Apparently he's angry that we set him free from some music box." Gohan said. "So that's the powerful ki..." Goten said. "Also, there's a monster around... I'm staying here just in case he appears again." Gohan said. "Then I'm staying too! I wanna have a challenge!" Goten said. Gohan chuckled. "He was pretty strong." He said. Then, Sunset woke up, drowsily sitting up. "Good morning... Goten? When did you..." Sunset said before yawning. "-get here...?" She ended. "Just a minute ago." Gohan said. Then, Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy came into the room. Again, through that window that's never closed. "Oh, hello Goten." Fluttershy said. "So, what did Tapion have to say this time?" Gohan asked. "Same old, same old." Rainbow Dash said. 'He's denying friendship... But that's not the worst thing. That monster... That's the real problem.' Gohan thought. *** It was nighttime again. And the nine were having another slumber party... At Rarity's. Fluttershy, Gohan and this time, Twilight flew to Tapion's place. They both had bags. "I'm surprised you keep visiting him even though he just screams at you." Twilight said. "He eats the food... So it's not much of a bother... Some animals hiss and screech, but I still feed them..." Fluttershy said. "And he's an important guy." Gohan said. They landed, and could hear the beautiful music of Tapion. "I want to know why he's here, and why he's this legendary warrior." Twilight said. They entered the place again, and this time, Tapion didn't shoot them death stares. Tapion was standing in the other opening. He just stared at the ground, stopping his music. "Uh... Hello, Mr. Tapion... We brought you more food..." Fluttershy said, taking her bag off. "You don't have to stop playing. You sound great!" Twilight said, taking her bag off. From outside... The same hooded man from before was waiting. Fluttershy took out a packed lunch while Twilight took out some water. Tapion simply walked in. The hooded one jumped down, and was about to run. "Behind you!" Gohan yelled. Tapion looked behind only to see this guy punch his ocarina out of his hand. It landed right in Fluttershy's hands. "Give me that flute!" He yelled, dashing towards Fluttershy. Fluttershy dodged the multiple swipes easily. But she accidentally kicked over a fire and oil, making a small fire. "Ma'am, here!" Tapion yelled. "Right!" Fluttershy said as she was about to throw it. "No, wait! Hear me out!" The man said. It was Hoi... His hood was taken off. "Tapion is NOT a hero!" Hoi said. "Then why'd you say he was...?" Twilight asked. "In fact, it was HE who destroyed the city!" Hoi said, pointing at Tapion. Fluttershy looked at Tapion fearfully. "No, Fluttershy." Gohan said. "He's lying." Tapion said. "Once you hand him the flute, he'll destroy not only your planet, but the whole universe! Give it here, I'll save you!" Hoi said, reaching out. "He won't. He is evil." Tapion said. "Fluttershy, just give it to Tapion." Gohan said. "No! Don't trust that monster! Y-" Hoi said before he was kicked into a wall by Twilight. "Stop calling him a monster!" Twilight yelled. Fluttershy was about to throw it. Hoi reached out again. "I will protect you, child..." He said. "Catch!" Fluttershy said, throwing it at Tapion, who caught it with a hand. Hoi was not happy, and made his escape. He jumped into the shadows, and his power level was gone. "T-Tapion... I'm sorry." Fluttershy said. "Let's go." She added, starting to walk away. Her friends followed. ... "I'm hungry." Tapion said, stopping them all. "Care to join me?" He asked. Fluttershy turned around with a bright smile on her face. They all ate. Gohan didn't eat anything but a bite. Mainly not to devour everything Fluttershy had... Twilight, Fluttershy and Tapion all shared the meal. They were all having a good time laughing and talking. "And his face! I thought he was gonna pass out on us!" Twilight said. Then everyone laughed again. "It's getting late... Tapion, why don't you join us at our friend, Rarity's?" Twilight asked. "What do you mean?" Tapion asked. "There's a sleepover party going on. We want you to join us." Fluttershy said. Tapion thought about it... "Okay." He said. *** The four arrived at Rarity's door. Twilight knocked, and the door swung open, revealing Pinkie. "Hi Gohan! Hi Fluttershy! Hi Twilight! Hi Tapion! C- TAPION!?" Pinkie yelled. Tapion was not amused nor surprised at Pinkie's loud voice. "Well, we invited him over..." Fluttershy said. "Come in! All are welcome!" Rarity said from her room. *** "So, the legendary warrior who saved Planet Google Search is joining us?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Cool! His power's cooler up close!" Goten said. "What do you mean?" Tapion asked. "We can sense power. You have a lot of it, too." Gohan said. "You can, huh?" Tapion asked. Goten nodded. "Well, we may as well introduce ourselves." Applejack said. "I'm Applejack." She added. "The one, the only Rainbow Dash!" Rainbow Dash said. "Rarity. Charmed to be in the presence of another warrior." Rarity said. "I'm Pinkie Pie!" Pinkie said. "I'm Sunset Shimmer." Sunset said. "I'm Twilight Sparkle." Twilight said. "I'm Fluttershy..." Fluttershy mumbled. "I'm Goten!" Goten said. 'I'm getting some deja vu from Goten for some reason...' Tapion thought. "And I'm Gohan." Gohan said. "Rarity, you seem to have an eye for fashion..." Tapion said, looking around. Mirrors, clothes, threads and more. "You are correct, I am a fashion designer." Rarity said. "What do you do at this so called 'sleepover?'" Tapion asked. "Well... Usually Gohan and Goten sit in the corner talking or doing Image Training... Unless we're playing games, gossiping and taking pictures." Sunset said. "Even when we play some games, or talk, they refuse to join." Rarity said. "Only because we don't want to wear nail polish!" Goten said. "And we don't want to talk about private parts." Gohan said. "Well, we also ban you from those kinds of conversations." Sunset said. "And we don't want to join them." Gohan said. "We were about to start spin the nail polish bottle." Rainbow Dash said. "And that is my cue to not join." Gohan said. "Same here." Goten said. "And I'm sure you wouldn't want to wear nail polish either." Rarity said. "No. Nail polish on my home planet is only for women." Tapion said. "Well, would you like to join our little group this time?" Gohan asked. "I suppose." Tapion said. The three sat in the corner. Tapion just blankly stared at the ground. But he had to wonder... "You two aren't in some sort of harem, are you?" Tapion asked. "No way. Never. I know our dad thought marriage was a food, but I know it's just one significant other." Gohan said. "He did?" Goten asked, trying I suppress a laugh. "It's how he and Mom married. She never stopped telling me that story..." Gohan said. "Hey Tapion, do you have any brothers or sisters?" Goten asked. Tapion... He took some time before answering. "A... A brother, yes." Goten said. "Cool! What's he like?" Goten asked. "He... Was a good kid. With a good heart." Tapion said. Gohan sensed a weird animosity from Tapion. "What about your planet? Is it anything like Equestria?" Goten asked. "Sort of. My home was in the South Galaxy. A planet called Conose." Tapion said with an unusual smile. "Green, lush forests. Water so clear you could see the bottom of the deepest ocean. It was a beautiful world..." He continued. Suddenly, he lost his smile. "Before the nightmare Hirudegarn. A phantom of mist and shadow... What it found in peace it left in pieces. Decimated..." Tapion said, recalling the flames of the nightmare. Everyone was running, and Hirudegarn was at large. "It was said there were many, but we only saw one. It reduced the land to ash and hunted my people to the brink of extinction." Tapion said. "Oh no!" Goten said. Gohan was serious about this. "Was this Hirudegarn... The monster that attacked Hoofington?" Gohan asked. "...He definitely struck." Tapion said. "How did it end?" Goten asked. "Hey! You guys! Having a nice time!?" Rainbow Dash called. "Get over here! We're gonna play other games!" Pinkie said. "We'll continue it another time..." Tapion said. *** After a fun night, everyone went to bed. Well, except Tapion. He was going to go back to the same destroyed base. Until Gohan stopped him. He didn't have his weights on. "Where are you going?" He whispered. Tapion stopped walking. "I need to leave here, now." Tapion said. "Why? We have space. And you look like you could use some sleep." Gohan said. "...Forget what Hoi told you. I'm not someone to be around. I'm dangerous." Tapion said. "...Let's talk about it in the kitchen." Gohan said. *** The two sat down at the fashioned table. 'It looks expensive...' Tapion thought. "So... What's wrong?" Gohan asked. "To explain my story... I must start with his." Tapion said. "Hoi was a member of the Kashvar. Power hungry aliens who believe themselves to be the superior species of the universe. For eons, they've traveled the stars using their dark magic to hunt down and exterminate all life forms different from their own. On Conose, they revived an evil long thought to be destroyed by my ancestors. Hirudegarn. A malevolent assassin that consumes its victims and imprisons their life force." He said. "Hoi is the villain... I should've known." Gohan said. "The Kashvars were deceitful, power hungry and such. It's no surprise he got you. They murdered half my population." Tapion said. "Just when you thought intolerance could get any worse..." Gohan said. "How did you defeat Hirudegarn?" He asked. "It was when we stumbled upon an enchanted sword that we realized we had a chance." Tapion said. "Is it that one?" Gohan asked. Tapion picked up hid sword and slightly showed the blade. "A weapon of the gods. A wizard found it in the Wraith's temple. Along with the blade, two ocarinas were discovered." Tapion said. Atop many broken pillars, two people stood, playing the ocarina in a desolate land. Tapion and his brother. Hirudegarn was on the loose. "My brother and I used them in hopes of distracting the beast. They must have been enchanted as much as the sword... Because neither one of us knew how to play." Tapion and his brother, Minotia, dodged all of Hirudegarn's attacks and played the melody. "The melody seemed to consume Hirudegarn with rage. And try as it might, the beast could do us no harm. " "The wizard took up the sword and charged." A wizard who looks just like Tapion except with purple hair and an orange cape was charging at Hirudegarn with the sword. "The monster had barely any time to react when the blade..." He jumped up and sliced him in half! "Cleaved him in two." Hirudegarn's two parts fell to the ground. The brothers kept playing. "What should've ended there turned out only to be the beginning. Hirudegarn... He survived." Hirudegarn was clearly still alive, clawing at nothing. "To prevent it from becoming whole again, the wizard sealed the upper half of Hirudegarn within me, and the lower half in my brother, Minotia. A small price... For victory..." Tapion ended. "Oh... I never would've guessed." Gohan said. "My people survived the onslaught, and Minotia and I became heroes." Tapion said. "Then why were you in a box?" Gohan asked. "We had no choice. It was the only way to ensure that the Kashvars wouldn't be able to get their hands on us. We thought. The wizard agreed to conduct the procedure on us. But vowed to release us once the Kashvar had been brought to justice. We both knew better, but we were proud to serve. As a final precaution, ordered by our War Council, the boxes were sealed, and sent to the farthest ends of the galaxies. That was the last time I ever saw my brother. Or my home. Now, here I am. A thousand years later, and nothing's changed. Still, a prisoner, outside, looking in." Tapion said. "What about your brother? I may be able to find him if you know which planet." Gohan said. "I don't know. Probably dead." Tapion said. Gohan felt incredibly lucky to have a brother now. "Oh... I came close to that." Gohan said. "Your brother reminds me a lot of my brother, Minotia. Cheerful and kind." Tapion said. "He was almost murdered by some monster... I don't even know what it is. All I know is that everyone I used to know died because of it. And now, we're the only two survivors of Earth's destruction." Gohan said. "So... You two are kind of like us. Except we weren't saved..." Tapion said. "How can we stop Hirudegarn?" Gohan asked. "He can't flee as long as I stay awake. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I miss that music box." Tapion said. "You haven't slept at all?" Gohan asked. Tapion shook his head. "Why didn't you say so? I have your remedy right here." Gohan said, reaching into his small pouch. "What is it?" Tapion asked. Gohan held out a senzu bean to Tapion. "A senzu bean. It'll wake you right up." Gohan said. Tapion took the bean, and ate it. He felt... "Amazing... I don't have to sleep... Anymore..." Tapion said. "They sure are a miracle." Gohan said. "What a story!" A voice came from the door. Tapion looked over his shoulder. "Twilight? I didn't even sense you!" Gohan said. "I affectionately refer to it as stealth mode." Twilight said. "That sounds vaguely familiar." Gohan said. "Anyway, I heard everything. I know you miss that sleep, Tapion." Twilight said. "Do you know how we can fix it?" Gohan asked. "Two options. One, get you and Goten to kill that monster, or we could make a bedroom with the music box's design." Twilight said. "Y-You can?" Tapion asked. "I have a storage unit around Crystal Prep. I could have it done by tomorrow!" Twilight said. "But the music box was specially designed... And it's destroyed!" Tapion said. "Every scientist knows to save everything. I have it at home!" Twilight said. "You do!?" Gohan and Tapion asked. Tapion walked up to Twilight and grabbed her hands. "Fantastic! I don't know what to say!" He said. "We'll call it even if you hang out with us for a bit!" Twilight said. "Deal. You're all very nice to be with." Tapion said. 'He's our friend! But I'm not glowing... There's something else that needs to be done.' Gohan thought. *** The very next day was a day off from school. "Professional Development day?" Gohan asked. "Yeah, we don't have school so the teachers can do whatever." Rainbow Dash said. "Well, we can spend the day with our new friend, Tapion!" Gohan said. Tapion chuckled. "Sorry, I have to head home for a bit." Twilight said. "That's alright! Come by later!" Applejack said. "We can still head to the school and jam!" Rainbow Dash said. "Good idea! Tapion has GOT to hear your music." Gohan said. "Musicians?" Tapion asked. The Humane 6 all nodded. "Bye!" Twilight said, leaving to catch a bus. *** The nine all arrived at school, and they got to the music room, where their instruments were. "Alright, ready?" Rainbow Dash asked. "You bet!" Sunset said. Goten got chairs for Gohan and Tapion to sit on. He got one for himself, too. "One! Two! Three! Four!" Pinkie yelled, smashing her drumsticks together. *** They performed 'Shake Your Tail.' And damn, Gohan shook his tail. Tapion loved the song! As soon as it ended, he clapped a lot. "That was impressive! I loved it!" Tapion said. "Well, thank you darling." Rarity said. "But... How did you get wings? And big ears and long hair?" Tapion asked. "It's our magic." Applejack said. "Each of us represent a core element of Friendship." Sunset said. "Loyalty, Kindness, Laughter, Honesty, Generosity and most importantly, Magic!" She said. "I'm glad you guys actually mastered it, because that gives you a huge boost." Gohan said. "Yeah, I can feel it!" Rainbow Dash said. "It's hard to keep it, though." Sunset said. "That just means more training." Gohan said. "I think I can guess who is who in order you said it." Tapion said. "Yeah, right." Rainbow Dash said. "You, you, you, you, you, then you." Tapion said, pointing at them in the correct order. "He isn't wrong!" Pinkie said. "Wow. I didn't guess it right the first time." Goten said. "Can you play another song?" Tapion asked. "Of course!" Applejack said. "Let's do it!" Rainbow Dash said. *** They did 'Shine Like Rainbows.' Gohan's personal favorite. Tapion's NEW favorite. "Amazing!" He cheered. "He really likes it!" Rainbow Dash said. "I think that's enough for a day..." Applejack said, taking her guitar strap off. "Let's head to Sugarcube Corner then!" Pinkie shouted. "What is that?" Tapion asked. "It's our usual hangout. A place of sweets and drinks." Rainbow Dash said. *** They were at Sugarcube Corner, but a few people couldn't help but look at Tapion because of a few of his items. The big sword, mainly. Gohan didn't get those looks when he brought his smaller sword... Tapion got a vanilla shake. Everyone else got other sweets n' stuff. "So, how'd you save Planet Google Search in the South Galaxy?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Conose?" Tapion asked. "Yeah, that one." Rainbow Dash said. *** Tapion gave the story again. "And that's why Twilight's making a bedroom for me." He said. "Wow... Tragic." Rarity said. It was 5:00. Twilight called Sunset. "Get Tapion and the others over here. I have something done for him." Twilight said. *** "Wow..." Tapion said. The room was literally the music box. This was in a storage unit. "This chamber generates the same frequency, allowing you to achieve REM sleep, while maintaining control over all your cognitive functions. You should have no problems getting your beauty sleep." Twilight said. Tapion walked inside and looked around. "Wow... It's perfect, thank you!" Tapion said. "My pleasure!" Twilight said. *** Later that night... Another city has been struck by this monster. Las Pegasus. "Koe-Ree-Soca-Kloon-Mon-Baree-Pa-Kie!" A voice called. It was Hoi... The bottom half of Hirudegarn was rampaging. And this time, from his tail, came weird wires that sucked the life out of people! And killed them! "These putrid humans are but a taste of the endless flesh you will consume once whole again! Together, we shall bring this universe to its knees!" Hoi yelled. *** It was 6:00. Tapion was sleeping... But no... 'No!' Tapion thought. Hirudegarn was breaking free! Tapion screamed in utter pain... Waves being sent from a long distance were killing him! Tapion was sweating, and he grabbed his head in pain. *** Twilight was already up, and was going to check in on Tapion. Gohan clearly had the same idea. "Oh, you're here." Twilight said. "Yeah, I wanted to-" BOOOOOOM! "What was that!?" Twilight asked. Gohan opened the unit. Tapion was missing! And the box was destroyed! And so was a lot of the unit... "That was forty dollars!" Twilight said. *** Now the rest of the Humane 7 and Goten were investigating. "Let's hope Tapion's okay..." Fluttershy said, digging through rubble. "And wherever he is, he's in better shape than this room." Applejack said. "We have to find him before we get to school." Rainbow Dash said. Tapion limped over to the entrance from the outside. He was panting... Sweating... And seemingly hurt. "Tapion!" Fluttershy said, helping him from falling. Applejack helped. "Did Hirudegarn escape?" Gohan asked. "No... It tried to escape. But I stopped it in time... we got another problem though. The lower half is free and is attacking the city!" Tapion said. "Uh oh." Goten said. "The closer each half gets the stronger they become. I don't know how much long I can fight it...!" Tapion said. Clearly not long. He actually somehow broke free from their help and fell to the ground. "He needs medical attention!" Twilight said. "No...! I can't hold it! It's too late! Kill us now, before it escapes!" Tapion yelled. Too late. Waves were seen... Tapion grunted... "KILL ME!" He yelled. Gohan hesitantly charged a ki blast. "Don't touch him!" Hoi yelled. A portal appeared from the sky. Right above the group. And here comes the giant foot! Everyone managed to dodge. Tapion got himself up and was about to play his ocarina... But it was shot to the ground by Hoi. Speaking of whom... Standing upside down in the broken storage unit. He cackled. Fluttershy quickly went to grab it, but rubble fell on top of her! "Fluttershy!" Everyone yelled. Fluttershy jumped from the rubble with no injury. "Play it!" She yelled, throwing it at Tapion. Tapion caught it and quickly went to play! But... "AAH!" Tapion screamed. It was too late! "Tapion!" Fluttershy said. Tapion screamed even louder! He dropped his ocarina... Hirudegarn was breaking free! He dropped his ocarina... It looked like fire was coming out of Tapion! The smoke... And it finally stopped... He fell to the ground. The smoke went into the sky and formed a portal. Thunder erupted immensely from it. Hoi laughed. His mission, complete! The thunder struck the bottom half, then forming the top half of the one, true Hirudegarn! https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/dragonball/images/0/07/Hirudegarn_better.png/revision/latest?cb=20171016225647 Tapion looked up in horror. "A problem just got a lot bigger!" Pinkie said. Hirudegarn roared. He was about 400 ft tall! "Suggestions, anyone!?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Yeah, we fight!" Gohan yelled. "I AM HOI!" Hoi yelled. Everyone listened to his next speech. "Last of the Kashvars! You have been summoned to do my bidding! Destroy humankind, wipe them off the face of Equestria!" He yelled. Thunder struck. ... "You suck, old man!" Rainbow Dash yelled. Hirudegarn responded by punching down on the group! "Run!" Tapion yelled as he grabbed his ocarina and maneuvered away. The group followed him to the streets. Tapion jumped on top of a car for some distance. The Humane 7 and the Saiyans looked at Hirudegarn in shock. "His power is incredible!" Goten said. Tapion started playing his ocarina. This time... Hirudegarn threw his giant tail down at Tapion! "MOVE!" Gohan yelled. Everyone jumped out of the way. "That relic won't save you any more than it did your brother!" Hoi yelled. Fluttershy was carrying Tapion while flying. "Minotia...!" He said, realizing his brother's doom. Hoi jumped atop a building. "Now! Bear witness to the true power of Hirudegarn!" He yelled. "Follow me, Goten! You all stay behind while we take care of this!" Gohan said as he and Goten flew after Hirudegarn. Gohan dodged to incoming punches from Hirudegarn, and threw a kick himself. But... Hirudegarn just turned to smoke and ectoplasm. He was intangible this way. He appeared above Gohan. That caught him by surprise, and Hirudegarn punched Gohan down to the ground! "Brother!" Goten yelled. Gohan was smashed to the ground. "We have to help!" Rainbow Dash said. "Let's pony up then!" Sunset yelled. "I'll stay behind..." Twilight said. The Humane 6 all ponied up, and flew at Hirudegarn. (I should've said this before, but the multiplier is a lot. So everyone has a power level of about... I'll say 200,000,000. That's lowballed, too.) Gohan got himself up, while the others landed beside him. "I told you guys to run!" He yelled. "We can't stay behind while you get murdered out here!" Rainbow Dash said. "You don't understand, Hirudegarn's far more powerful than friendship!" Gohan said. "And so are you, but you'll need help this time!" Sunset said. Gohan sighed. "Fine. Let's do this! I don't care who you are, THIS ENDS NOW!" Gohan yelled, turning Super Saiyan. Goten powered up into Super Saiyan, and everyone else just made their white aura flare. Each of them flew at Hirudegarn. They all dodged two claw attacks. Fluttershy went in for the kick, but then he just turned to smoke again. "His power and speed are increasing!" Gohan yelled. Hirudegarn appeared again. Gohan fired a Kamehameha at him, but he just turned to smoke again. He just appeared behind everyone this time. "Gohan!" Sunset yelled. Gohan turned around only to be met with a huge slap. Straight into a building. Goten threw a punch at Hirudegarn, only to miss. He kept trying, but he just kept turning into smoke! "We can't track his movements!" Sunset yelled. Hirudegarn finally struck, grabbing Fluttershy in one hand. She screamed in pain. But then a ki blast hit Hirudegarn's arm, making him let go of her. "Phew!" She said, gaining some distance. It was Rainbow Dash who threw the blast! "You're gonna regret that!" Rainbow Dash yelled, charging at Hirudegarn. "All the way to the grave!" She yelled, dodging Hirudegarn's stomps and slashes. She tried kicking him, but he turned to smoke again. He tried hitting her with his tail, but she dodged and tried hitting his face! He turned to smoke yet again. Then a chop came straight down at her! Rainbow Dash blocked with her hands, but struggled to keep it at bay. It turned to smoke again, and Rainbow Dash tried to rest from an attack. But she was smacked from behind, straight at the ground. She lost her pony parts. Goten tried next, constantly missing his attacks. Being annoyed, he fired a Kamehameha at Hirudegarn while flying up. A direct hit! But it did no damage. Hirudegarn appeared behind Goten and delivered a REALLY hard tail swipe to him. Goten was sent flying all the way to... Crystal Prep! He smashed through the walls of a class, where the participants of the Friendship Games were. "What's he doing here?" Indigo Zap asked. Goten tried getting himself up. "There's a monster attacking!" Goten yelled. Hirudegarn clearly wasn't done with just that attack. He fired a giant fire ball from his mouth. If it were to collide with the school, it would be destroyed! The students and teacher were afraid. Goten powered up in retaliation, and he threw his hands out. He formed a giant barrier around the school. It looked like it wasn't enough, the barrier was actually cracking! "WHAT IS GOING ON!?" Principal Cinch asked. Then she noticed Goten keeping Hirudegarn's attack at bay. Goten, in a last ditch effort to save the school, quickly turned Super Saiyan 2! His hair showed it! His aura flared, and a few desks were flying. The barrier was strong enough to repel Hirudegarn's attack! Hirudegarn stopped his fire. Goten couldn't even stand anymore. He reverted back to base form while getting on his knees. "I... I did it..." He said before finally collapsing. Down. "Someone get him to the nurse!" Sugarcoat said. "Are we not going to question how he changed his hair?" Lemon Zest asked. "NO!" Everyone screamed. Gohan flew in front of the hole in the school. "Goten!" He yelled. "It's you!" Indigo Zap said, pointing at Gohan. Then, Hirudegarn crushed him in between his hands! "It's him!?" Cinch yelled. "You wanna play, big guy!? LETS DO IT!" Gohan yelled, retaliating by turning Super Saiyan 2. It was enough to get his hands off him. Hirudegarn turned around and saw Applejack and Rarity flying at him with a combined ki attack. He retaliated by using his fire again. "HA!" Rarity and Applejack yelled as they fired theirs. The two attacks clashed. Clearly, it was too weak against Hirudegarn, and the fire exploded on them. They both fell to the ground, beaten. Down. Down. "We don't stand a chance against this guy!" Sunset yelled. "A combined attack would do nothing on him!" Fluttershy said. "Maybe we should leave it to Gohan..." Pinkie said. "No, we have to try." Sunset said. "Even Gohan's struggling against him, look!" Fluttershy said, pointing at Gohan. Speaking of whom, him and Hirudegarn were actually doing fine. Surprisingly, Gohan held the strength advantage. "Nevermind..." Fluttershy said. Gohan may not have been hitting much, but when he did, it packed more of a punch than Hirudegarn's. "Amazing..." Tapion said. "His blows actually hurt Hirudegarn." He added. "Is that unusual?" Twilight asked. "Yes! Only my sword and flute could keep it in check... But he... He's actually damaging Hirudegarn. He doesn't possess any enchantment, right?" Tapion asked. "Not that I know of. I think it's just pure strength." Twilight said. Gohan managed to grab Hirudegarn's finger, and throw the fucker over his shoulder. Tapion was clearly surprised. No one had ever done that to Hirudegarn. The last impressive thing was cutting him in half, but without any blessing being able to throw him over his own shoulder? "Okay, enormous pure strength." Twilight said. "H-He's our last chance..." Tapion said. "Let's get the others out of the battlefield." Twilight said, jumping down to her downed friends. Tapion just looked on. Twilight helped Rainbow Dash up. "I still got a little fight in me..." Rainbow Dash said. "Try using the magic of Friendship!" Twilight said, rushing over to Applejack and Rarity. "That's a good idea." Rainbow Dash said, joining her. Twilight carried Applejack, and Rainbow Dash carried Rarity. Each of them flew up to Sunset, Fluttershy and Pinkie. "Girls! Unleash Friendship on this guy!" Twilight said. Applejack managed to get herself flying. "But Gohan's going to handle this." Sunset said. "It's now or never, Sunset!" Rainbow Dash said. Rarity managed to get herself flying. They all ponied up. Gohan dodged Hirudegarn trying to give him a hug, and smashed a tower over. He just stood in place after that. The Humane 6 all fired their friendship at Hirudegarn. BOOM! Big ass explosion! The smoke cleared, and Hirudegarn... Was a solid? Pinkie came in for a closer look. "Hm... How did that happen? Must've been stronger than Gohan!" She said. Gohan just looked on in horror. He felt a sudden increase in power. "He's done for!" Sunset said. "Alright!" Rainbow Dash said. "No, he's not!" Gohan yelled. "What are you going on about?" Rainbow Dash asked. Gohan pointed at Hirudegarn. His back glowed green... Cracks. Something emerged from Hirudegarn. It's as if he was just a molt. Some bug like thing... Pinkie flew backwards in fear. Everyone looked in shock. It was Hirudegarn... But... Powered up!? https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/vsbattles/images/0/0e/589625-hirudegarn.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/2000?cb=20151004052338 "You guys need to run, this is NOT gonna be good!" Gohan said. Hirudegarn roared. He flapped his wings, gaining flight, and flew at the group. "Scatter!" Gohan yelled, dodging the incoming attack. The same could not be said for Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie, thy both got hit hard with two punches. Straight at the ground. Down. Down. They cracked it, too. "Fluttershy! Pinkie!" Sunset yelled. Hirudegarn wrapped his tail around Sunset, and started crushing her with it! She screamed in pain. "Let go!" Gohan yelled, punching the tail as hard as he could. It did nothing on Hirudegarn. Hirudegarn responded by firing a fire ball from his mouth at Gohan. A direct hit! It exploded in contact, ripping up his shirt a bit. Gohan wasn't sent flying far, but he was clearly damaged. He managed to recover before smashing into a building. Hirudegarn hurled Sunset at Gohan. He caught her, and carried her bridal style to the ground where he laid her. "Sunset, are you okay!?" He asked. "I... I'll be fine... Go... Beat him!" Sunset said in a pained voice. "I will!" Gohan said. Down. He quickly made his aura flare before charging at Hirudegarn again. Hirudegarn knocked him down with his fist. Applejack, Rarity and Rainbow Dash all charged at Hirudegarn full force. They smashed themselves into his back to no effect. He blasted them with fire, sending them all down to the ground! Down. Down. Down. Twilight retreated back to Tapion. "He... He's transformed!" Tapion said. "No kidding!" Twilight said, flying away for some more distance. Hirudegarn roared, making the rubble fly into the sky. Gohan flew up to see the chaos. "You have a weakness... Everything does!" He yelled. Every one on his side was down for the count. He was the final hope... He charged at Hirudegarn, dodging a fire ball narrowly. He dodged an incoming stomp, and kicked. Hirudegarn turned to smoke to dodge, smacked Gohan down with his hand. Gohan recovered, but not fast enough. Hirudegarn appeared behind him again to whack him with his tail. And then he did the same with his hand back to Hirudegarn. Gohan recovered and threw a blast at his face, only to miss yet again. "No!" He yelled before Hirudegarn slammed him straight into the ground! Many buildings fell on top of Gohan... Thousands of people were running in the streets. Gohan managed to get himself up. His orange shirt was half gone now... And he wasn't a Super Saiyan anymore. "It's as if we're fighting an illusion..." He muttered. He pushed the rubble off himself. Hirudegarn was still at large... Gohan limped over to where destruction was happening. "Have to... Find a way to stop... Before the entire planet and people..." He said before falling over. 'There has to be a way... There has to!' He thought. Hoi cackled loudly. "DESTROY! DESTROY! Grind their bones to dust beneath your feet!" He screamed. But... A beautiful music was heard... Nearly every warrior was down... The CP students were trying to patch Goten up... The rest of the group were on the streets, completely downed. Sunset tried getting herself up. 'Be like him... And don't give up, damn it!' She thought, standing up. ...Only to collapse again. "Damn..." She muttered, getting on all fours. "Don't let it end like this... Gohan..." She muttered. Fluttershy heard the beautiful music... "Tapion..." She muttered, getting herself up. Speaking of whom, he was atop a building. Hirudegarn roared. Hoi grunted. "IDIOT! After a thousand years, you'd think he'd learn to play a different tune!" He yelled. Hirudegarn fired a fire ball from him mouth a Tapion... But a green barrier formed around Tapion. Didn't work. The building was incinerated, but Tapion stayed flying. Hirudegarn was starting to feel the effects of the music... Tapion flew closer and closer to Hirudegarn. 'Hero... He really did come to save the planet!' Fluttershy thought. 'For too long you've fed on the misery of others.' Tapion thought. Hirudegarn was struggling... He walked back into a building. 'You stole from me everything precious and dear! But no more! It ends now!' Tapion thought. Hirudegarn started to melt down into smoke, and left a blue aura while doing so. The smoke all went into Tapion. Hirudegarn... Disappeared. Tapion fell to the ground. "Impossible!" Hoi screamed. Fluttershy ran up to Tapion. "You did it!" She said, helping him sit up. Tapion only took his sword out, and held it out to Fluttershy. "Fluttershy... There isn't much time left... Quick... Kill me." Tapion said. Fluttershy lost her smile. "I can't hold him much longer... In the heart, quickly...!" Tapion said in a pained voice. "Y-You don't know what you're saying!" Fluttershy said. "Do you want to see everyone you care about DIE!?" Tapion yelled. Fluttershy shook her head. "B-But... You're our friend!" Fluttershy said. She started crying. "I know, Fluttershy. I know it's not fair to ask you. But... There's no other way, I don't want to destroy you!" Tapion said. "G-Gohan can handle it!" Fluttershy said. "He was just mercilessly beaten down by Hirudegarn, there's no other way! I know death seems cruel, but I welcome this blade! Help me..." Tapion said with a smile. Fluttershy reluctantly took the blade. "Thank you... It was an honor to know you, my friend." Tapion said. Fluttershy held it up with two hands. She wasn't ready to strike... "NO!" Hoi screamed, jumping after Fluttershy. "GET AWAY FROM HIM!" He screamed. Tears kept falling down Fluttershy's face. She was about to do it with closed eyes and- "AHHH!" Tapion screamed in pain. Hirudegarn was breaking free! Hoi stopped jumping. "Tapion!" Fluttershy said, dropping the sword. Tapion grabbed his head before screaming loudly. The smoke was escaping... The... The ocarina broke! "Weakling! Hirudegarn is mine to control! As are all other weakling creatures that pollute my universe!" Hoi said. Hirudegarn was back. Gohan flew up to the sky. Hirudegarn roared. Every single capable warrior was down! Except him! 'I have only one other option.' He said, getting in a pose to power up. 'I can only hope this works... It'll kill me, but there's a chance it won't.' He thought. "Slaughter them all!" Hoi demanded. Hirudegarn responded by stomping on Hoi! He screamed in pain before being killed. Fluttershy stepped in front of Tapion as a sort of final defense. But then... "HAAAAAAAAA!" Gohan screamed. The two looked to the skies behind them. It was Gohan powering up! He was a Super Saiyan 2! 'I have to go further beyond! Come on... COME ON!' Gohan thought. He screamed even louder, and the buildings around him started to crumble from his energy. Then, a giant yellow sphere enveloped Gohan. 'Self destructing won't be fun... But let's try anyway!' He thought. (He's not self destructing.) He's powering up beyond his body's limits. Which could result in self destruction. "W-What's he doing?" Tapion asked. 'Could it be...' Fluttershy thought. "SUPER SAIYAN 4!" Pinkie screamed before eventually fainting. "He has yet another one!?" Tapion asked. "He's never shown us this before..." Fluttershy said. The sphere started erupting with lightning flying everywhere! "What's Gohan doing, helping him!?" Twilight asked. It struck buildings, wrecked ones mostly. Sunset stood up to see this. 'Is he going that were monkey form?' She thought. Then suddenly, the sphere exploded into a million tiny droptlets of ki! From it, emerged the Super Saiyan 4! Sunset smiled brightly. "Gohan!" She said. "Fight me. If you're ready to die." Gohan said. Hirudegarn flew straight at Gohan, throwing a punch. Gohan dodged easily, then instantly kicked him right in the back. Hirudegarn was on the ground, but not done yet! He stood up. 'Tapion said something about angering... That's it!' Gohan thought. He flew up to Hirudegarn. But he didn't move. He just stood there. Hirudegarn smacked him right there! But did no damage at all. "You call that an attack?" Gohan asked, enraging Hirudegarn. Hirudegarn responded by firing a fire ball at Gohan. Which exploded on contact. Hirudegarn thought it was done... "Thanks for the air conditioning." Gohan said with a smirk. Hirudegarn was enraged even more, and threw a punch at him! Gohan held out a hand to block. "You call that a punch?" He asked. Hirudegarn roared in pure rage. "Don't quit now, we just started!" Gohan said, spreading his arms out. "I'll even give you a target to hit." He added. Hirudegarn punched Gohan as hard as he could, but only managed to do nothing. "You're really bad." Gohan said, flying down to the ground. 'Supreme Kai, don't fail me now!' He thought. "I'm still standing! Come on!" Gohan yelled. Hirudegarn retaliated by throwing a fist straight at him! Gohan got what he wanted. He jumped up to avoid the fist. He flew straight at Hirudegarn. He wound up his fist. "DRAGON FIST!" He screamed, throwing that wound up fist in the air. Gohan exploded! Pinkie managed to stand up to see. Rainbow Dash could see even on the ground. Applejack and Rarity helped each other up, and saw the explosion. Twilight witnessed from a building. Sunset, Fluttershy, and Tapion all watched too. A giant, golden dragon emerged from the explosion! It roared, louder than Hirudegarn! It went right through Hirudegarn! Hirudegarn roared in pain. Yellow smoke formed around Hirudegarn, but it was actually the dragon! It wrapped itself all around Hirudegarn! Everyone watched in pure awe. It was incredible! The whole dragon trapped Hirudegarn in it's elongated body, and literally made Hirudegarn explode! BOOOOM! Then... The dragon disappeared. Shimmers of ki fell from the sky... There was a hole in the clouds... The ruined city was seen in all its former glory. "We won!" Fluttershy said. Tapion smiled brightly. "Minotia... You've been avenged." He said. The battle was finally over. Gohan stood on the ground in the sunlight. His fist proudly raised in the air. As a Super Saiyan 4! The clouds started to disappear. And Gohan started to glow yellow. "My job... Is done." He said. "Thank you, Gohan." Tapion said. Sunset came running up to Gohan. "You did it!" She exclaimed. She tackle hugged him, but didn't move him an inch. "I'm so proud!" She said. "R-Really?" Gohan asked. Sunset was so proud that she kissed him on the cheek instinctively! "W-Why did you do that?" Gohan asked, rubbing his cheek. He didn't know what a real kiss was. Just a part of a definition. "I-I uh..." Sunset said, blushing and backing up a bit. She looked at the ground. Awkward moment. "Tapion..." Fluttershy said. "Back there... I-" "Don't say a word." Tapion interrupted. "The choice you made was the right one." Tapion said. *** The ending was hilarious. The only standing structure left was the Crystal Prep school. Some say it was a miracle. Some say it was pure luck. Goten says it was him. And he's right. The Humane 7, the Saiyans and Tapion were all back at CHS. In their... Rather injured states. And a Super Saiyan 4 state. Celestia just happened to be outside. "Where were you eight?" Celestia asked before gasping. Rainbow Dash was being sustained by Fluttershy, Applejack was helping Rarity, Twilight was helping Pinkie, Gohan was holding a bandaged Goten in his arms and Sunset and Tapion were all alone. Gohan chuckled nervously. "Can we get some sort of homework sheet?" He asked. "What happened to you all!? Who's this gentleman?" Celestia asked. "It's a bit of a long story..." Gohan said. "And why do you have so much red fur!?" Celestia asked. "That's because he's a Super Saiyan 4!" Pinkie said. "Pinkie, I-... You know what? Fine. It's a Super Saiyan 4." Gohan said. "He finally says it!" Pinkie said before coughing some blood. "Wait... Were you the ones who fought that monster!?" Celestia asked. "We are..." Sunset said. "Then I can't penalize you for that! You even saved Crystal Prep from being demolished!" Celestia said. "Courtesy of this guy." Gohan said, lifting Goten up. "We have to get you all to a hospital!" Celestia said. "Actually... Everyone wait here for a bit." Gohan said, walking over to Sunset. "Can you hold him for a bit?" He asked. "Don't you have senzu beans right there?" Sunset asked, taking Goten in her arms. "Only five. Not enough for us nine..." Gohan said. *** Twilight was reading outside the portal. Gohan came through. "Gohan! You're back! Did you see-" Twilight said before seeing the state he was in. "Don't say anything." Gohan said. "Z-Zecora happened to come by... She... She gave me this." Twilight said, levitating a pouch over to Gohan. "Thanks!" Gohan said, rushing back into the portal. "What happened?" Spike asked, coming into the room. "Gohan's that were monkey form again." Twilight said. "Oh." Spike said. *** Gohan gave everyone a senzu bean. "Five left. That's neat." Gohan said. He was regular again, with the torn shirt. "I believe you all can go home for a day... No absence." Celestia said. "Awesome!" Rainbow Dash said. Celestia walked back into the school. "How'd you beat Hirudegarn, brother?" Goten asked. "He went Super Saiyan 4, and turned into this AWESOME dragon!" Rainbow Dash said. "It was a sight to see..." Tapion said. "Super Saiyan 4? What's that?" Goten asked. "It's the monkey form, Goten. We decided on that name." Gohan said. "Well I like it!" Goten said. "Gohan." Tapion said. "Yeah?" Gohan asked. Tapion walked up to Gohan and knelt. "I cannot thank you enough for stopping Hirudegarn." He said. "Thanks! You don't have to kneel, though..." Gohan said. "Oh, but I should. Because..." Tapion said, unstrapping his sword and lifting it up to Gohan. "Y-You aren't!" Gohan said. "Yes. Please. Take it. I no longer have a need for it." Tapion said. Gohan started waving his arms. "N-No! I can't!" Gohan said. "Maybe you should take it, big brother." Goten said. "Why?" Gohan asked. "Didn't you lose yours in hell? This could be a replacement." Goten said. "Yeah... That's right! You would be cooler with an enchanted sword!" Rainbow Dash said. "Please. I insist." Tapion said. Gohan hesitated before taking the sword by the middle. Tapion stood up again. "Thank you, Tapion." Gohan said. "No, thank you." Tapion said. "Where will you go now that you can live freely?" Rarity asked. "Wherever I want. Maybe I'll go in the woods." Tapion said. "Are you kidding?" Sunset asked. "I haven't hunted in a while." Tapion said. That made Fluttershy gasp. "What's wrong?" Tapion asked. Gohan leaned into Tapion's ear. "She takes care of animals, and she doesn't like hearing the murder of them." He whispered. "Oh... My apologies." Tapion said. "It's okay..." Fluttershy said. "I don't think it'll be a problem... He's super strong, anyway." Gohan said. "I wish you all luck. Goodbye. It was nice to meet you all." Tapion said, walking away. "Wow... Well, now we've seen Super Saiyan 4..." Sunset said. "I still can't believe you turned into a dragon." Applejack said. "I trained in the World of the Kais. The Supreme Kai taught me it himself." Gohan said. "Gohan, Gohan!" Goten said. "Show us the sword!" He said. Gohan unsheathed the sword. "Cool..." Rainbow Dash said. Gohan started swinging it, stabbing the air and maneuvering it. "It works like a charm." He said. "The shine on it..." Rarity said. Gohan covered it again. 'This looks exactly like Trunks' sword for some reason...' He thought. "I have a lot to tell the princess once I'm back in the pony world..." Gohan said. Author's Note Yeah. Anyway, I did the pony up multiplier because friendship is powerful as hell, and they have it in them. It's not gonna be useful anytime soon, but... Yeah. It's like the Vegeta of DBS. Get a new form after Goku, still be weaker than Goku. Hirudegarn - 3,480,000,000,000 Transformed - 17,500,000,000,000
To Where and Back Again Pt. 1Author's Note I should probably note this, because I thought a lot of people knew that Super Saiyan 4 isn't a 10x multiplier, but two people already have commented about it and now that I read these GT boards I can see a lot of people thinking that it is truly that multiplier. So this note is here to tell you that: No, it's not 10x. To Where and Back Again Pt. 1 Another day... Another sparring match. Gohan and Goten were sparring... Again. It became daily. It got their minds off school, and even during recess they did a bit of Image Training. They were outside the house, with Goten being a Super Saiyan and Gohan regular. "Hey Goten,-" Gohan said, dodging a fist. "You turned Super Saiyan 2, right?" He added, dodging more attacks. He grabbed Goten's foot and spun him around before throwing him. Goten recovered and dashed back into the action. "I dunno." He said, throwing a barrage of punches. "Why?" He added. Gohan got hit in the cheek with a punch, then jumped back for some distance. Goten rushed after him. "Against Hirudegarn, your Super Saiyan power doubled." Gohan said, holding his hands out and firing many ki blasts. Goten swatted most of them away. "I remember that." He said. Gohan teleported behind Goten, then kicked him in the back. Goten did a flip before standing on the ground again. "Can you do it now?" Gohan asked. "Uh... I can try..." Goten said. He tried powering up. And ONLY powering up. 'Can Goten think of that need again?' Gohan thought. The rocks around Goten started to rise. Goten was trying as hard as he could to tap into that power... "GNNNNNGH!" He grunted before eventually giving out. He panted. "I guess not..." Gohan said. "How do you do it?" Goten asked. "Raw emotion." Gohan said. Or just a tingly feeling in your back... "Once you can lock onto that need, or anger, like I can, then you can turn Super Saiyan 2." Gohan said. "Okay... When do you think that'll happen?" Goten asked. "With all these weird magical occurrences it should happen soon." Gohan said. "Cool!" Goten said. Starlight was approaching the two. "Gohan! Goten!" She called. Goten reverted back to base form and waved. "Hi Starlight!" He said. "Hey! What's up?" Gohan asked. "Well... See this?" Starlight asked, using her magic to show them the invitation she got. It was an invitation to the Sunset Festival in the old village... You know, the one she ruled over with an iron fist? "Huh. Sounds fun." Gohan said. "That's the thing... I'm scared to go alone." Starlight said. "It must be because of... Well, your last impression..." Gohan said. "What happened?" Goten asked. "Well, I used to think that the way I thought ponies should live was good. But it was actually bad. In my old village, I implemented it, and after I was exposed, I came here." Starlight said. "Ohh." Goten said. "Do you still want to be friends?" Starlight asked. "Why wouldn't I? You're not a bad guy anymore." Goten said, putting his hands on the back of his head. "Oh. Well, that went better than expected." Starlight said. "You want us to come?" Gohan asked. "I mean... Yeah. I was told to have a friend or two come." Starlight said. "Hm... I had plans today... But..." Gohan said, contemplating. "Why don't I go?" Goten asked. "You have something to do too, right?" He added. "Yeah. I do." Gohan said. "I don't." Goten said. "So...?" Starlight asked. "Well, if Goten really wants to go..." Gohan said. "I do!" Goten said. "Then you'll babysit for him?" Gohan asked. "Yeah. I just needed someone to go with. Well, someone well known there, really. Just in case..." Starlight said. "Ohh. I see. Wish I thought of that, but it doesn't matter now." Gohan said. "What do you mean?" Starlight asked. "Afterlife." Gohan said. "Oh. Okay. Well, let's go, Goten." Starlight said, trotting away. "Are you gonna be home when I get back?" Goten asked. "Yeah. I will." Gohan said. "Okay! Bye Gohan! See you later!" Goten said, following Starlight. "Bye!" Gohan said, jumping on top of the house. He looked in the other direction for something... I'm not too sure. "Now... I have two friends to my go with now! Better go get her." Starlight said. "Who is it?" Goten asked. *** They were outside Trixie's old coach. It's pretty much her home. She packed a few things... "Who's that?" Goten asked. Trixie got her hat and cape on and got out of her little abode. "Who doe-..." Trixie said before... Well, seeing Goten made her scared as hell. "Trixie... This is Gohan's brother!" Starlight said. "Your name is Trixie? I'm Goten." Goten said. "He's not going to kill me, is he?" Trixie asked. "Wha- No!" Starlight said. "Why would I do that?" Goten asked. "Oh... Just... Nothing." Trixie said. She hasn't made up with Gohan yet, so....... "Well, how long are we staying at wherever?" Goten asked. "We'll try not to take long." Starlight said. "Oh, I don't know, Starlight! Time really FLIES when you're spending it with your BEST friend!" Trixie said, wrapping a forehoof around Starlight. She giggled, too. 'And hopefully his brother won't kill me for trying to be friends with him...' She thought. "I haven't seen you before. Maybe WE could be best friends!" Goten said. Trixie screamed internally. "Sure!" She said with a smile. *** After the long trek over to the village... Well, not long. Goten just flew them, but- You get the point. He even carried the whole stagecoach for Trixie. They were at the village. Or, at the plateau near the place. It really has changed. All sorts of ponies with different cutie marks and cheerfulness and not fake smiles. "Wow. Neat town." Goten said. "There it is! The town that you-" Trixie said, before- "-Magically stole everypony's cutie marks, replaced them with equal signs, and forced them all to hide their natural talents? Yes." Starlight said. "I was going to say where you CAME from. But yours is more... Emotionally traumatic answer." Trixie said with a smile. "I think my brother could come up with worse." Goten said. "Like how?" Trixie asked. "Twilight told me he had a few... Well, episodes." Starlight said. "Based on traumatic experiences." She added. "He doesn't have them anymore, I think." Goten said. "Yeah, he just had to go to hell and back." Starlight said. "Why did you say that like it was a completely normal sentence?" Trixie asked. "When you hang around them you get used to it." Starlight said. "So, why did you give that answer, Starlight?" Trixie asked. "I just want to blend in... Just another pony in the crowd for the Sunset Festival with my friends." Starlight said. "Sounds good to me! And if things get weird, let me know. I've got your flank!" Trixie said. "Is that a promise? You and Goten?" Starlight asked. "Sure!" Goten said. "No, a Great and Powerful Promise!" Trixie exclaimed, throwing a blast of smoke on the ground. Made everyone cough. "Well, I couldn't ask for more than that. If we're gonna do this, let's do it." Starlight said, walking towards the village. *** The ponies in the village were setting things up again. Party Favor and Double Diamond were setting up a banner until they noticed Starlight and her friends. "Starlight!" Double Diamond said. "You came!" He added. Starlight giggled nervously and waved. "We were worried you wouldn't be able to make it! Are you staying the whole week? Who are your friends? We have different events planned each day!" Party Favor said. Then other ponies came up. "How is it living in a castle!?" Sugar Belle asked. "It is SO good to see you!" Double Diamond said. Trixie giggled. "Oh yeah, these ponies are SOO terrifying." She said sarcastically. "You actually think they're terrifying?" Goten asked Trixie. "No, that was sarcasm." Trixie said. Starlight groaned, but then smiled again. "It's good to see you all!" She said. "You got here just in time. We were having some debate about these banners. Which do you think feels more 'sunsetty?'" Party Favor asked, and a few pegasus held up a few banners for Starlight. "O-Oh, you don't need me to decide that... Whatever you think is probably best." Starlight said. "I like the one on the right!" Goten said. "Uh, well, how about helping us with the routes for the relay races tomorrow? Can you take a look?" Double Diamond asked. "Oh, I... I shouldn't! You all go ahead, I just want to enjoy the festival..." Starlight said. "But you WILL be a judge for the baking competition, right?" Sugar Belle asked. "Ooh, I wanna do that!" Goten said. "You do! Great! Uh... Hm... You look familiar..." Sugar Belle said, putting a hoof to her chin. "No no, the mane's different, but the clothes are vaguely the same... It's not summer... But..." She kept rambling. "Anyway... the unicorns have a fireworks show planned! We could really use your help!" Night Glider said. The villagers kept asking for more and more crap. Starlight was REALLY starting to crack under the pressure. Well, with everyone fucking ganging up around her it would make anyone feel claustrophobic. Starlight accidentally used her magic to repel everyone away. "NO!" She yelled. She hid her face in fear. Everyone (except Trixie and Goten) fell and were getting themselves up. They weren't really happy with that... Trixie had to save her friend's reputation... So... "The Great and Powerful Trixie would like to thank you ALL for being such an amazing audience. Sadly, it is time for us to depart. Good night, fillies and gentlefoals!" She said. Then she unleashed blue smoke on everyone then disappeared with Starlight. Goten was still standing. "What just happened?" He asked. Trixie and Starlight were about a tenth of a mile away from town before realizing- "WE FORGOT THE BOY!" Trixie said. "He's coming after us!" Starlight said. Goten was already flying out of town. The ponies all looked and chatted in shock. "IT'S GOHAN!" Sugar Belle yelled. Then they started chattering about Gohan because of his weird powers... *** Goten was carrying the coach, walking with everyone else. They wanted to take the long route home... "Ugh! I was HORRIBLE when I led that town! I was ready for them to not trust me, but... I wasn't ready for them to put me in charge again! With my past, I should never be in charge of anything!" Starlight vented. "So you messed up, big deal!" Trixie said. Then she looked around to see any other ponies. "Hey Goten... Could you get me some... Uh... A rock with a hilarious face on it?" She asked. "Okay." Goten said, putting the coach down. He jumped away to find rocks with a funny face on it. Trixie leaned into Starlight's ear. "Don't you tell EVER tell another pony I said this, but even Trixie's made mistakes!" She said, giggling afterward. "I know! The trick is to just move on and pretend they never happened." She said. "I feel like that's almost... Good advice. I mean, Gohan's done it." Starlight said. "In what way?" Trixie asked. "It would be better off if he just told you himself, I-I shouldn't give something like that away." Starlight said. Then she realized a way to tell Trixie. "Actually, nevermind. Gohan's the one who pretty much ended my rule. And basically humiliated me. When I was that monster. But, after stopping somepony from tearing dimensions apart, he just happened to see me two seconds after it happened and- Boom. Instant forgiveness." Starlight said. Trixie had a bit of hope now... "Really? That's interesting..." She said. Goten came jumping down. "I'm baaack!" He said, holding a giant rock over his head. Trixie and Starlight looked in awe. There was the most 'hilarious' face carved on it. https://img1.etsystatic.com/139/1/6178122/il_570xN.924623037_p7q0.jpg "How is it?" Goten asked. Then they burst into laughter. "And it's gooood!" Goten said. *** The three were finally back in Ponyville. Starlight noticed Pinkie hopping around. "Hey, Pinkie Pie!" She called, running up to her. "Hey!... Uh... You!" Pinkie said. "So... you're probably wondering why I'm back so soon." Starlight said. "Where were you?" Pinkie asked. That confused Starlight a bit. She told Pinkie already... But Pinkie is Pinkie, she does things like this. "I went to my old village? For the festival?" Starlight asked. "OOH! Sounds fun! How was it!?" Pinkie asked. "It was kind of a disaster... I came back early because I freaked out!" Starlight said. "OOH! Sounds awful. Bye!" Pinkie said, hopping away. Starlight was just confused. Trixie and Goten walked up to her. "That was... Strange." She said. "Isn't she always strange?" Trixie asked, taking her cape and hat off. "Yeah, but not like that." Starlight said. "She didn't feel like Pinkie at all." Goten said. Goten didn't feel right about Pinkie at all. "How do you figure?" Trixie asked. "She felt completely different than usual... Instead of a rapid and crazy energy, she had... A bit of a dark one." Goten said. "That sounds... Bad." Starlight said. Then she noticed Rarity and Applejack walking by. "Hey!" She said, walking up to them. "I'm back early!" She added. Goten had a horrible feeling about this one too. "Oh! Uh... Welcome back!" Rarity said. "Have you two noticed Pinkie acting a little strange?" Starlight asked. "Pinkie Pie ALWAYS acts strange." Applejack said. "You feel strange too..." Goten said. "What do you mean?" Rarity asked. "Hm... Maybe I'm having an off day, but you two feel dark." Goten said. "It must be your imagination, darling. We're happy!" Rarity said. That's not what he meant... But Goten shrugged. "Anyway... Anyway, I wanted to talk to all of you. Things didn't go the way I thought they were going to go at the Sunset Festival." Starlight said. "What happened?" Rarity asked. "I kind of freaked out and ran out of the village." Starlight said. Applejack and Rarity started laughing... Inconsiderate! Goten was sure that there was something wrong going on. "I'm going to go get my brother, you watch them. I have a bad feeling about this." Goten whispered to Starlight and Trixie. He flew away. "You freaked out and ran away from a festival!? Hah! That's the dang funniest thing I've heard all day!" Applejack said. "Him flying would be more terrifying than THAT!" Rarity said. "Oh wait, wait. Let me guess. The decorations were terrifying!" She sneered before laughing again. Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy landed beside Applejack in Rarity. Fluttershy whispered something into Rarity's ear. Something about... Friendship business? "Hello, ponies. We need Rarity and Applejack for VERY important Friendship business." Rainbow Dash said. They all started trotting away... "Do you need to find Gohan?" Starlight asked. "Why would we? He's not important." Rainbow Dash said. "But... Why does he have a throne, then?" Starlight asked. They just ignored her from there. "I have to say, I'm really not as impressed with your friends as the rest of Equestria is." Trixie said. "Well, the two aliens are an exception. Flying without wings? Moving stuff without magic?" She added. "I have to talk to Twilight!" Starlight said, rushing to the castle. Let's check in on Goten. "Gohan?" He asked, opening the door to their home. He wasn't there. 'I should be able to sense him from anywhere on this world... Right?' Goten thought. So he started looking all over Equestria. 'Gohan should know the answer... He's always got the answer!' He thought. Back to Starlight. She tried opening the doors to the castle... But it was locked. Starlight knocked now. "Twilight? Hello?" She asked. Spike opened a small hatch in the door. "What you YOU want? Twilight's VERY busy!" He yelled. Rude! "Spike, I really need to speak with her." Starlight said. "Make an appointment! She's a princess, after all!" Spike yelled, slamming the hatch shut. Starlight knocked again, puzzled by his odd behavior. "What's wrong with you? Why are you being so-" Starlight said before- "Rude?" Twilight asked, opening the door. Spike was standing on top of a stool. "I think a certain dragon didn't get his NAP today." Twilight scolded. Spike got off the stool and dragged it away. "Yeah, right. Whatever." Spike said. "Sorry. He's been acting a little off all day." Twilight said. "He's not the only one. Everypony's acting a little strange today." Starlight said. "Yes, it's definitely been one of those days! How are you?" Twilight asked. "Not great, actually. You're probably wondering why I'm back from the village so early." Starlight said. "I didn't want to bring it up, but yeah, it did seem strange. Did it not go well?" Twilight said. "The townsponies kept asking me things, like they expected me to be in charge again. But being a leader is the LAST thing I should ever be. So we left. Very suddenly. In a literal puff of smoke." Starlight said. "Wow, you should definitely never go back to that village." Twilight said uncharacteristically. "What?" Starlight asked, genuinely confused. Then Goten came flying in. "Starlight, I can't find Gohan ANYWHERE in Equestria!" He said. "Y-You can't?" Starlight asked. "I looked under and over every rock, building, pony, pebble, and city! He's nowhere! And I can't sense him either!" Goten said. "Maybe he's in the Land of the Kais?" Starlight asked. "Ohh. Then he would've left a note... Oh well. Hey Twilight!" Goten said. Something was off about her too. "Yeah... Hey." Twilight said. "I barely recognized you with the weak power level and the dark ki and... The strange ani...mosity... And... Wait..." Goten said before putting on a mean face. "I have some very important friendship business to get to, so can I leave-" "SHORYUKEN!" Goten yelled, fucking uppercutting the fuck out of Twilight. Well, more like an uppercut turned horizontal. She barged through the doors of the throne room, and stopped when she hit the wall. Cracking it. "GOTEN! Why did you do that!?" Starlight screamed. "I am the Princess of Friendship, how dare you-" "-Princess of about to get a royal beating! Or should I say prince!?" Goten interrupted. "What are you going on about!?" Starlight asked. Goten blasted Twilight again with a minor ki blast, and... And... "A changeling!?" Starlight asked. "THEY'RE BACK!?" She screamed.
To Where and Back Again Pt. 2"What's a changeling?" Goten asked. "We've been caught!" 'Fluttershy' said, turning into a changeling. Everyone else did, actually. "Ohnoohnohnoohno!" Starlight repeated. "Get them!" A changeling yelled. The seven changelings all got into a jumping battle pose and- Goten just blasted them all. Anticlimactic as hell. He left all but one. He body slammed him! Broke two legs. Brutal. "Where's Twilight!?" He yelled. "Please... Please don't kill me!" The changeling begged. "Tell me where my friends are!" Goten said. "They're at the hive... Please... Spare me!" He begged. "Sorry, but no." Goten said, jumping off and blasting him too. Dead. Starlight gawked at the scene. "We need to find every capable pony to fight Queen Chrysalis!" She said. "We can't get the princesses..." Goten said. "Why not?" Starlight asked. "I can't sense them at all." Goten said. "This is NOT good!" Starlight said. "Let's go to Trixie! She's not a changeling!" Goten said. "There's only one way to find out..." Starlight said. *** Starlight and Goten were at Trixie's abode. "Trixie! Trixie!" Starlight whispered. Trixie stuck her head out the window. "What is it?" She asked. "We found out what's wrong about our friends!" Starlight said. "I have a whole list about things wrong about your friends. Let's discuss later." Trixie said. "No, Trixie!" Starlight yelled, dragging Trixie out of her abode with her magic. "We're in danger!" Starlight said. "How?" Trixie asked. "Changelings!" Goten said. ... "...Aaaaaand?" Trixie asked. Then Starlight had a realization. Is this really Trixie? Or is it a changeling? "Trixie, what did you tell me NEVER to tell another pony?" Starlight asked. "If you dragged me out here to play guessing games, I will-" "AFTER we left the village, what did you say!?" Starlight interrupted. Trixie sighed and whispered into Starlight's ear. "Even Trixie makes mistakes." She whispered, then gave Starlight a cold stare. "ARE YOU HAPPY?" She sneered. Starlight sighed. "Good..." She said. "You're not one of them, good!" Goten said. "One of who?" Trixie asked. "A changeling." Goten said. "I think they've taken Princess Celestia, Luna, and Twilight!" Starlight said. "WHAT!?" Trixie exclaimed. "I know!" Starlight said. "What about Princess Cadence!? This is alicorn business, not unicorn business!" Trixie said. "That's right... Our best bet is to get to the Crystal Empire before the changelings do!" Starlight said. "There's no help coming from the Crystal Empire." A familiar voice rang. Goten, Trixie and Starlight all frantically looked around. Then, someone came out of some bushes. "Thorax!" Goten said. Trixie started screaming crazily. So Starlight put her in a noise cancelling barrier. "Yes..." Thorax said. "Your wings look... Different." Starlight said. It turns out, his wings were light blue and had little sparkles on them. "And your body's more blue than ever." Goten said. "I guess so." Thorax said. Starlight was joyous! Trixie kept screaming inside the barrier. "Shh! Thorax is a good changeling!" Goten said. Starlight took... A precaution. "How do I know you aren't some changeling PRETENDING to be Thorax?" She asked. "His ki's relatively the same, Starlight." Goten said. Trixie was screaming and kicking even louder. "And you were there when Gohan, him, and Spike defended me from the ponies of the Crystal Empire." Thorax said. "I guess that works." Starlight said. "Trixie, calm down! If he does anything I'm kicking his butt!" Goten said. "Uh..." Thorax said. "Not really, you aren't a bad guy." Goten said. Starlight released Trixie. "He's a reformed changeling." She said. Thorax walked up to Trixie with an open hoof. "Hi! It's a pleasure to meet..." He said, but Trixie was scared out of her mind. "I'm trusting Starlight and Goten, but maybe you stay over there for now? Okay?" Trixie asked. Thorax walked back to where he was. "What do you mean there's no help? Did the changelings get Cadence too?" Starlight asked. "They took Cadence, Shining Armor and Flurry Heart!" Thorax said. "They did WHAT!?" Goten asked. 'Nobody messes with my godniece! I think that's what that's called. Actually, now that I think about it, I'm hungry...' He thought. "I know! Sunburst sent me here to get Twilight, but... It sounds like it's too late for that too!" Thorax said. "Not yet, we still have Goten! And if we can find Gohan." Starlight said. "That's the thing... There's something else the changelings have." Thorax said. "What is it?" Starlight asked. "...Gohan was part of the attack on the Crystal Empire." Thorax said. .... "WHAAAAAAT!?" Starlight, Trixie and Goten asked. "The Crystal Heart was able to keep the changelings out... Until Gohan came and shattered the... Barrier." Thorax said. "Why would my brother ever do that!?" Goten asked. "I-I don't know! He didn't seem like himself, though..." Thorax said. "B-But Goten's just as strong... Right?" Trixie asked. "Trixie, he's a Super Saiyan 4, and I can't even go Super Saiyan 2! We are definitely not going to win!" Goten said. "Then we need all the magic we can get, and every capable magic user is taken!" Trixie said. "You know, whenever ponies talk about powerful magic, they always leave me out. If I weren't so evolved, I might take it so personally." Discord said. He was knitting a bunny on top of Trixie's coach. "Discord!" Goten said. "Well, isn't this quite the combination of secondary characters?" Discord asked. "How do we know he's actually Discord?" Starlight asked. Discord gave Starlight a 'ARE you kidding me?' Face and snapped his fingers. He made the flowers dance, he made the fucking tree turn into a giant clock, he made the place a soapland, Big Bird was walking around, Spider-Man was swinging around and god knows what else. "Shall I continue?" Discord asked. "No." Goten said. Discord reversed everything. "Where are Twilight and the girls?" He asked. "That's the thing! The changelings took everyone! Twilight, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Apple-" "THEY TOOK FLUTTERSHY!?" Discord interrupted Goten. "Yes!" Starlight said. "Where?" Discord asked, with snake eyes. Clearly, not amused for shit. Angry as hell. "The changeling kingdom. With you on our side-" Starlight said, before Discord snapped his fingers. They were all in a forest for some reason, with bags of stuff on everyone. "Hm... Odd... I was trying to take us right to Fluttershy but there IS no Fluttershy." Discord said, laying his eyes on the ground looking for her. "I think I have a good idea where she might be...!" Trixie said nervously. The changeling kingdom! "Oh, this is so strange. We're here, and that's there! And I clearly meant for us to be there and not here." Discord said. "Oh, I-I can expla-" Thorax said, before- "Oh, well. If at first you don't succeed..." Discord said, about to snap his fingers. Starlight used her magic to stop that... "Maybe we should come up with a plan first?" She asked. "I can't sense Gohan in there..." Goten said. Discord blew her magic off his hand. "A what?" He asked. "You know, figuring out the best way to do something BEFORE you actually do it." Trixie said. Discord laughed. "Oh ho, that's adorable. But you see, unlike you, I can do anything." He said proudly. "Uh, actually-" "That's all very nice, but really a waste of time. We have me. And what else could we possibly need?" Discord interrupted Thorax. "My brother!" Goten said. "Oh, yes. Right." Discord said. "A draconequus with magic AND half a brain might help." Trixie sneered. "Why are you here again? I mean, it's not like you're going to stop the changelings by pulling a rabbit out of a hat." Discord said, pulling a Trixie out of her hat- Wait, what? "At least MY magic can DO something." Discord said. "The thing about magic here is-" "Like this!" Discord interrupted Thorax, again. He snapped his fingers and made a pigasus appear. He also had knight stuff on. He rode the pigasus. "For Fluttershy!" Discord yelled as he flew towards the hive. But as soon as they weren't above ground, Discord's pigasus disappeared. Discord nearly fell off! He grabbed the cliff and got back on. He tried sending another pigasus to go, but it just poof! Vanished! "I've been trying to tell you!" Thorax said. "Nothing other than changeling magic works here. Chrysalis' throne is carved from an ancient dark stone that soaks up outside magic the same way changelings soak up love. It's how she keeps the hive safe." He said. "That doesn't mean it can absorb life, does it?" Goten asked. "I'm not sure.... I don't think so." Thorax said. "Then let me try." Goten said, firing a minor ki blast at the changeling hive. Made a small rock explode... Didn't vanish... "Yay! My stuff works!" Goten cheered. "That's no fair, why does he get to keep his powers!?" Discord said. "I don't USE magic." Goten said. "So... What are WE doing here!?" Trixie asked. "Without magic, I have no idea." Starlight said. "I can't go in there myself!" Goten said. "But we'll just pull you down if we come with you." Trixie said. "Oh... This isn't going to be as fun as I thought..." Goten said. "Why don't you just blow it up? We know you can destroy Equestria as it is." Discord said. "Our friends are in there, they'd die!" Goten said. "Oh, right." Discord said. "It's okay Goten. We believe in you!" Starlight said. "Don't you remember the last time he was against us? I didn't even stand a chance!" Goten said. "I'm sorry we have to burden you, and I would prefer it if I could just waltz in and save Fluttershy, but you're the only one left." Discord said. Goten sighed. "Okay... Wish me luck." He said, jumping off the cliff. "Good luck." Everyone said. He dashed towards the hive at breakneck speeds. It was so fast that the changelings couldn't even see him. He jumped into the hive quickly. Upon entry he- 'What the heck is this?' He thought. This whole thing was like a shifting maze! And then the entrance behind Goten shut. "Well, there goes my way out." He muttered. There were opening and closing holes everywhere. It was pure pandemonium. 'Okay so a few of them are behind that one, that one, that one... Ooh! That one has nobody behind it!' Goten thought, jumping through said hole. Now he was in some sort of staircase maze! Goten could sense a few familiar ki somewhere... But with this weird maze it would be hard to find being stealthy. He flew down some stairs which magically went up for some fucking reason. He got to a dead end which just turned into a path. 'Okay, that's just too confusing for-' "HEY!" Someone yelled from behind. Goten looked behind to see three changelings. "Trespasser!" One yelled. "Get t-" Another yelled before- Ah. Oh. Ohhh. Goten instantly knocked them all out with punches. 'Okay, now I have this on my hands...' He thought as he jumped away. 'They know I'm here, I guess.' He added. More and more changelings started to appear. "Wee-woo.... Wee-woo..." One started saying nervously. Goten got out of sight then. He hid behind a rock. 'Now what do I do!?' He thought. "WEE-WOO WEE-WOO!" A changeling yelled, pointing at Goten. He acted fast, punching him out of consciousness and maneuvering away. 'Dang! I don't know where I can-' He thought before... Goten stood in front of a whole army of changelings. He got into a fighting pose. "I guess THIS is how it's gonna go down!" He yelled, charging at them. *** The four left behind were just sitting around. "Well THIS is boring." Discord said. "I feel kinda bad for letting Goten go alone." Starlight said. "Well, what do you expect? We can't do anything to help." Trixie said. "Wait... Thorax, if the throne's destroyed, then can we get our magic back?" Starlight asked. "Yes!" Thorax said. "That's a horrible idea! How are you gonna do that with his brother on their side?" Discord asked. "We go with him." Starlight said. "How?" Discord asked. "We walk." Trixie said, starting to walk towards the hive. Everyone followed her. "But I haven't walked that far in a millennia!" Discord said, pulling his eye sockets. "Ugh." Everyone said. *** "Oh, I don't know how any of you manage not being able to disappear and reappear whenever you want!" Discord complained. They were all still walking. "I'm sure Gohan manages just fine without it." Starlight said. "I for one definitely miss for YOU to disappear!" Trixie said. "Give Discord a break, none of us knew we weren't able to use magic." Starlight said. "I did." Thorax said. They were very close to the hive. "If we get separated, it might make sense to have a way to make sure we are who we say we are." Starlight said. "Oh! Like a secret code! How about if I say "we are" and you say "doomed"? Or you say "rescue" and I say..." Discord said, tripping over a rock. "How about if we say 'klutzy' and you say 'draconequus?'" Trixie asked. "'Klutzy draconequus.' Works for me." Starlight said. Discord got himself up. "I'll definitely remember it." Thorax said. They entered the hive without being seen. Upon entry, they- Goddamnit, this thing again. "Okay. I am DEFINITELY glad you came. I don't think we'd be able to find our way without you." Trixie said. "How did Goten even get past this?" Starlight asked. "You definitely wouldn't." Thorax said. Then the hole behind them shut. "Uh... Where's the way out?" Trixie asked. "It's a changeling hive. It shifts and changes like we do, and we're the only ones who can navigate it. It's total chaos to non-changelings." Thorax said, walking through an open hole. Everyone followed. The hole almost shut Discord's tail with it, but he pulled it out in time. "Well, it's decent chaos. I don't know if I'd call it 'total.'" Discord said. *** The group walked down a set of stairs that magically lead up to another part of this strange hive. "Are we sure that I'll get my magic back when we destroy this throne thingy?" Discord asked. "If Thorax is right, then yes." Starlight said. "Well THAT'S reassuring." Discord said. "And how are we supposed to destroy the throne when we find it?" Trixie asked. "We get Goten to do it!" Starlight said. "And where is he?" Discord asked. "I... Don't know." Starlight said. "Well THAT'S reassuring." Trixie sneered. Then Discord started rummaging through Trixie's bag of stuff. "I don't suppose you brought any throne-destroying tools along with these useless sideshow props." Discord said. "Asks the Lord of Chaos who can't go for a walk without whining nonstop!" Trixie sneered. "Yes, but when the throne is destroyed, I'll be able to rip the very fabric of reality to save our friends, while YOU'LL still be a self-absorbed, below-average illusionist!" Discord said. I will call that a roast. "Self-absorbed!? Why, you...!" Trixie yelled, but then.... Starlight jumped in between the two. "Cut. It. Out! I'm just barely keeping it together, and it would be WONDERFUL if you two could actually try to help instead of bickering like foals!" She scolded, starting to walk away. "Okay." Discord said, defeated, and following. "How can we help?" Trixie said, defeated as well and following. The three were walking up a staircase. "Don't ask me! I couldn't even handle giving advice at the Sunset Festival, and I HAD magic then! And the three of us are as good as useless! At least Thorax knows where we're going." Starlight said. "Uh, guys?" Thorax said. "I think we're lost." He added. They were at a dead end. "Oh, great. We might as well just sit here and wait for the changelings to soak up all of our love or whatever gross thing it is that they do. How often do you all get hungry?" Trixie asked, sitting down. "Actually, I haven't been since I met Gohan. And changelings are ALWAYS hungry. We can never get enough love." Thorax said. "Well, that's a big oxymoron." Discord said. "And that's just super-" Trixie said, before- "But you aren't hungry AT ALL now?" Starlight asked. "Huh. Once I made a few friends, I guess I just sort of forgot about the whole feeding thing." Thorax said, flapping his wings quickly. "Is that about the same time your wings changed?" Starlight asked. "I guess so." Thorax said. Then Discord yawned obnoxiously. "While I would love to sit around chitchatting about feeding and not feeding..." Discord said, raising his voice at the end. "I have a FLUTTERSHY to save!" He yelled. It echoed all throughout the hive. "Can you PLEASE lower your voice!? You're gonna get us all captured!" Trixie asked. "Oh, you keep saying that, but I haven't seen an actual changeling since we got into this hive." Discord said. And then there was quite the distant buzzing. Loud. "W-What's that?" Trixie asked. "A CHANGELING PATROL!" Thorax said. He started hyperventilating. "This seems like one of those moments where we need a plan." Discord said. "What kind of plan?! We have no magic, and it's not like my illusions are gonna save us!" Trixie said. Then, Starlight had a plan! "Do you have any of your smoke bombs?" She asked. "Are you kidding?" Trixie asked with a smirk. *** Now, 'Trixie' was the last pony there. The changeling patrol found her! "Looking for somepony?" 'Trixie' asked, smirking. The five changelings all charged at 'Trixie,' but she threw a smoke bomb and disappeared. The changelings looked around, confused. "Is that the best you've got?!" 'Trixie' taunted from another platform. She starting laughing at their failure. The changelings started blindly chasing her, as she kept poofing and poofing away! Discord and Starlight watched from a hole in the ground as the changelings were running after 'Trixie.' "Hm. I'll take it." Trixie said behind them. There were two Trixies now. "Uh... 'Klutzy...'" Starlight said nervously. "Draconequus!" They both said. One was Thorax. He turned into himself again. "Ugh. I really think we need a new code word!" Discord complained. But then they heard more buzzing... Coming their way! "Wait... Do you guys hear that?" Starlight asked. "Hear what? More changelings coming!?" Trixie asked nervously. "No... Well, yes, but its coming from down there..." Starlight said, pointing down from the floating earth they were on. Trixie and the others looked down. They saw a ton of changelings charging at something! And heard something else... ".....atatatatatatatatatatatatata..." It repeated. "Actually, I can hear it too." Thorax said. "Me too." Discord said. "Me too!" Trixie said. Then the the fucking wall exploded. Revealing a Super Saiyan Goten beating the fuck out of the changeling army. "ATATATATATATATATATATATATA!" He kept screaming as he punches and kicked all the changelings in his way. Just like his dad... And Gohan. Aaaand Tien. And me that one time I tried punching for a long period of time. "Goten's still here!" Starlight said. "The let's get going!" Trixie said. The four started walking around this weird maze trying to get to Goten. He was still pulverizing the fucking changelings. A million of them or something. And they were still coming! Well, a lot of them ran away. What a bunch of pussies. Goten finally punched the final changeling in his way out of commission. "Wow." He said, looking behind him. He left a whole trail of changelings. "I wonder if a few of them are actually dead..." He said to himself, reverting back to base form. (He didn't need Super Saiyan, but fuck it. Made him seem cooler.) The group finally got to Goten. "Starlight? What are you doing here?" He asked. "We came because we felt bad for just letting go alone. Also, we have a better plan." Starlight said. "If you destroy the throne, we get our magic back!" Discord said. "Ohh! Good plan!" Goten said. "Now all we need to do is get to Queen Chrysalis, and destroy that throne!" Starlight said. *** The five were hiding behind a staircase to some sort of entrance. It was guarded by many changelings. "Goten, can you take them out?" Starlight asked. "No way. I don't know about me, but you all will be captured if we're caught!" Goten said. "Then how do we get through?" Starlight asked. "My illusions won't work, and I'm fresh out of smoke bombs." Trixie said. "I have a good idea!" Goten said. "And what would THAT be?" Discord asked. *** Discord stood in front of the changelings! And he tapped a microphone Trixie happened to have... "Hello, changelings and changelettes! Believe me, I was just as surprised as you are that I'm here! When I heard that I'd be playing for a bunch of changelings, I was beside myself! Then I realized, it was just one of you." Discord said. Then a rimshot played. The changelings all snarled at him and approached him slowly. Discord nervously laughed. "But, seriously, this isn't the toughest crowd I've ever been in front of. But it's definitely the easiest to bug!" Discord said. Nothing changed. But a rimshot played. "'To bug?' Is this thing on?" Discord asked, tapping the microphone. They all cornered him. Trixie and Starlight moved through the entrance while they were distracted. "Fine, if you want to try, be my guest!" Discord said, throwing the microphone and running all over the place avoiding the changelings. "I can't believe that worked." Starlight whispered. Discord maneuvered so good that he lost them. "It is certainly a pleasure to have such dedicated fans. I'll have to come back with some new material after I rescue Fluttershy." He said. Then he heard whimpering... And crying. "Please help!" He followed to noise to see- "Fluttershy!" He said. "Discord! I'm stuck!" Fluttershy said, showing her tail's under a rock. "You certainly are. And I should probably help you get free. But... oh-ho-ho-ho-ho..." Discord laughed. "But what?" Fluttershy asked. "But you are obviously NOT Fluttershy!" Discord said. "Oh." Fluttershy said. "I mean, I'm separated from the group and just happen to come across the one pony I care most about? I can smell this setup a mile away." Discord said. Fluttershy started crying. "No. You're right. There's no way you should trust me. Just go find the others. I understand!" She said, crying a fountain of tears. "Oh come on!" Discord said. Then there were A ton of Fluttershys crying behind him. "We're probably all changelings. You shouldn't rescue any of us. Unless, you think, maybe one of us might be the REAL Fluttershy. Oh, that certainly would be a nasty changeling trick, wouldn't it?" The first one said. "I'm the real one." They all repeated. Discord was just confused at this point. "I'm the real-" BOOOM! Everyone died. The end. No, just kidding! All the changelings died. Discord ain't dead. "Goten? How did you know?" Discord asked. "None of them had the same power level as Fluttershy! It's like Yamcha!" Goten said. "I don't know who this 'Yamcha' is, but it sounds disappointing." Discord said. "It really is." Goten said. "Now, let's get going!" He said. *** "Where's Discord and Goten?" Starlight asked. "We can't go back, the place is probably full of guards right now!" Thorax said. "But we need Goten! And once he destroys the throne, he and Discord could take out the entire changeling army with a sneeze!" Starlight said. "Hello?" Discord called. "Fellow rescuers?" He asked. Thorax, Trixie and Starlight all came out. "We can't stay here. We gotta find the throne." Thorax said. "Ooh! I heard some of the changelings who were chasing me say that they know where it is!" Discord said. "Where's Goten?" Starlight asked. "Who?" Discord asked. "Klutzy?" Trixie asked. "Hmm? Oh. Yeah. I can be klutzy!" Discord said. "Hiya!" Goten yelled, kneeing him in the neck. 'Discord' turned into a knocked out changeling. "Did you honestly believe for a second that was me?" Discord asked. "We did." Trixie said. "Let's get moving! I sense a really high power level nearby. And I wanna fight it!" Goten said. "Also an army of changelings." He added. *** The group made it to some sort of egg thing! Where the ponies they knew where trapped in some sort of gooey egg! Oh, and they did that after knocking out a few armies. "There's Fluttershy!" Discord said, pointing at her. Then they all heard cackling. "A little monkey, all by himself." A female voice said. "What do you mean? There are fi-" Trixie said before all of them were encased in a egglike thingy! It was green. Goten acted quickly, getting himself out of the fucking thing. Then he saw his team all trapped with his known friends! And Thorax was pulled into it too! Chrysalis emerged from behind a Celestia and Luna egg. "Oh how will I ever prevent this daring rescue?" She asked. "You can't." Goten said nonchalantly. "And how do you figure?" Chrysalis asked. "Do you even know who I am?" Goten asked. "A monkey who dresses like that other monkey that disgraced me!?" Chrysalis asked angrily. "I'm... His brother?" Goten asked. "Wait, WHAT!?" Chrysalis asked. "N-No matter." She said, getting down from the eggs and standing on the weirdly liquid ground. "I've been training, and you can't beat me this time!" She said. "I don't think so." Goten said, getting into a fighting pose. "You little...!" Chrysalis said. She blasted a green blast from her horn. Goten dodged out of the way, but Chrysalis started flying straight at him. He blocked an incoming bodyslam and was launched a bit towards the wall. He stopped before he smashed into the wall. 'She's strong!' He thought. He used to wall to jump back at her. Chrysalis fired many blasts from her horn, all of which Goten dodged. He threw a fist at Chrysalis, and she blocked with her corroded forehoof. She did some sort of flip to kick Goten down to the ground. He landed safely. "How was that? Your inferior power is no match for me!" Chrysalis said. "You make me excited! But going full power would just make this boring." Goten said. "Oh please, like turning your hair yellow would increase your power so dramatically." Chrysalis said. "You're not going to believe this, but it does." Goten said. He quickly turned Super Saiyan. "You still don't stand a chance against me!" Chrysalis said. "I'll admit, you are strong. But not as strong as me!" Goten said, powering up even more. "Then come at me! You won-" Chrysalis said before getting a beat down! Goten pummeled her repeatedly before performing a double axe handle on her, sending her crashing into the ground. He wasn't done yet, he stomped on her, or dropkicked her really. Remember Broly? Yeah, what he did to Goku. Once. Goten grabbed her backhooves and swung her around. She was hurled at the wall. She coughed up a bit of green changeling blood. "W-What!?" She yelled. Goten shot the meanest of looks at her. "Nobody hurts my friends and gets away with it!" He yelled. Chrysalis grinned, though. In fact, she started laughing. "What are you laughing at!?" Goten asked. "Your imminent doom." Chrysalis said. "What are you-" Goten said before realizing someone was behind him. Someone very familiar and strong... And uncharacteristically dark. He turned around to see Gohan. With a green hue in his eyes. "Crapbaskets." Goten said. Author's Note I should give Chrysalis' power level. It's 400,000,000.
To Where and Back Again Pt. 3"Gohan!" Goten said with fear. "You see... I have your brother under my spell. He does anything I tell him to do." Chrysalis said. "You're lying!" Goten said. "Am I? Am I really?" Chrysalis asked. "Slave, kill him!" She commanded. Gohan got into a fighting pose. 'He's serious.' Goten thought, getting into a fighting pose. This wasn't training... This was a death match. Except Goten was gonna die. 'How am I going to beat Gohan!? This is a suicide mission!' He thought. Sweat steamed down his face. There was utter silence. A drop of sweat fell off Goten's chin. Once it finally reached the liquid ground.... "Kamehameha!" Goten yelled, firing the Kamehameha! Gohan canceled it out with a Kamehameha of his own. He didn't yell anything, though. 'I can't win this, how am I going to even save them?' Goten thought as he started to run around Gohan. Gohan barely moved a muscle as Goten kept circling around him. "Hurry up and kill him already!" Chrysalis yelled. Goten finally jumped at Gohan, and threw a punch. Gohan blocked with a single arm. Goten grunted before throwing a barrage of punches. Gohan blocked easily without making many movements. Goten did a flip and performed an axe kick, which Gohan blocked again. Goten backflipped for some distance before flying straight at Gohan again. He was about to strike... Before feeling a sharp pain in his stomach. Gohan uppercutted him in the stomach. He arched over before flying straight at the ceiling. Chrysalis cackled as Gohan teleported above him and performed a double axe handle on him, sending him at the ground. Goten landed on all fours and cracked the ground beneath the liquid. He looked up to see Gohan flying down at him at breakneck speeds, ready to deliver a punch. Goten managed to move out of the way, avoiding the death punch. He used his hand to curve his momentum and dropkicked Gohan right in the cheek, sending him away a few feet. 'Got a hit in... But that punch really knocked the wind out of me... I can't believe he's been holding back on me in training!' Goten thought. Goten managed to stand on his feet again. Gohan just stood there, looking blankly at him. "Gohan, snap out of it!" Goten yelled. "Nice try, but I've corrected my mistakes from last time. No matter what you do, the seal will never be broken!" Chrysalis yelled before cackling. "What!?" Goten asked. "Now, attack! Attack ruthlessly!" Chrysalis commanded. Gohan charged at Goten. Goten tensed up as he was charging at him. 'Please... Training, do me good!' He prayed as he charged at Gohan too. The droplets from the ground rose. Everything was in slow-mo as the two were centimeters away from each other. The real struggle started from there. Gohan punched Goten in the face, sending him flying. Goten did a backflip before recovering in the air, and a Gohan was still charging at him. He crossed his arms together as Gohan elbowed the middle of the cross. It hurt like hell, but it prevented more damage. Gohan was pushing Goten through layers and layers of the hive. 'Why are you even trying!? You know you'll die!' Goten thought as he managed to get out of the drag. The two were now in another maze of the hive. And part of Goten's orange shirt was ripped. 'You can still do it! Try the new strategy!' He thought. Goten flew up at Gohan, who expected yet another punch, but this time, Goten kicked him in the stomach. He used the time to fly up a bit and fire a quick Kamehameha at full power. Gohan was blasted through the wall again, back to the original battleground. He crushed the blast in between his hands. 'See, it worked!' Goten thought. 'Yeah! For now!' He countered himself as he flew after Gohan. Goten tried slamming his body into Gohan, the ultimate strategy. Gohan dodged, and grabbed Goten's foot. Gohan started to brutalize Goten by slamming him on the ground multiple times. Finally, after messing up his clothes a bit more, Gohan started spinning Goten around before hurling him. Goten smashed into Starlight's egg, freeing her. Gohan flew after Goten, not ending it there. 'Why bother anymore? You know he's not even Super Saiyan yet.' Goten thought as he recovered on the little ground on the wall. He braced for impact as Gohan was flying at him. 'You have to save them! You're the last hope!' He thought. Boom! Debris flew everywhere from that corner! Starlight managed to get herself up. But she found herself trapped by the liquid below. Chrysalis cackled as she flew up to her throne. "Well, well, well. The Princess of Friendship's sole pupil. Honestly, I didn't think YOU were worth replacing with one of my drones." Chrysalis said. Starlight struggled to free herself from the goo. "You won't get away with this! Goten will beat you!" She said. "I already have. Nopony is coming to save you. Your little squad was it. And now, there's just you. Even that traitor Thorax can't help you now!" Chrysalis said. Thorax "How? Goten can beat you!" Starlight yelled. "Why yes he can. But..." Chrysalis said. Another explosion of debris could be heard from the walls. Gohan punched Goten in the stomach, making him cough. Goten tried to recover, but then Gohan just punched him down to the ground, beside Starlight. Goten managed to get himself up, grabbing a wound on his shoulder. "My shoulder!" He cried in pain, before panting. "Gohan!? You...!" Starlight yelled. "Starlight... I can't beat him." Goten said. Gohan flew up to beside Chrysalis. "He's just under my spell. With him, I can take over the entire universe! All that love... It's fantastic!" Chrysalis yelled. 'SAVE THEM!' Goten thought. 'YOU CAN'T!' He thought. "Chrysalis...!" Starlight yelled with anger. "There isn't really any use resisting. You honestly think you can defeat me?" Chrysalis taunted. "I can..." Goten said bravely. "No matter how strong Gohan is..." He continued. "There will always be a way!" He yelled, powering up. "Futile. It's so sad, really. You think there's a way for you?" Chrysalis asked. "I'll take my brother's place and defeat you... No matter what!" Goten yelled, charging at them. Gohan caught his fist. "End him already." Chrysalis said. Gohan punched him in the gut again, sending him upward. He then appeared behind Goten, and put him in a full nelson! (You know, I would make a gay joke, butt fuck it.) "What?" Goten asked as he looked behind him. Gohan and Goten were flying at top speed straight at the ground! The head on collision (literally) caused a huge debris explosion in the ground. Gohan jumped back a few feet. Goten jumped out of the tiny crater to throw a few ki blasts. Gohan swatted them all away and flew straight at Goten. The two were in yet another struggle. "Even with your pathetic little attempt to save your friends, everything went according to plan." Chrysalis said. "What plan? Why did you do all this!?" Starlight asked. "So I could feed, of course! By replacing the most beloved figures in Equestria, my drones will be able to store all the love meant for them and return it here to me. Everypony will do as I command, and my subjects and I will feed on their love for generations!" Chrysalis declared before cackling. "... What if you didn't have to?" Starlight asked. "RIDICULOUS!" Chrysalis yelled, stomping the ground as she flew at Starlight. "The hunger of changelings can never be satisfied!" "Exactly! Thorax left the hive and made a friend. He SHARED love, and now he doesn't NEED to feed. You don't have to live your lives starving all the time!" Starlight said.. Chrysalis was really triggered! "You know NOTHING of the changelings or what it takes to be their queen!" She yelled, using her magic to slam Starlight against the wall. "I decide what is best for my subjects, not some mewling grub!" Chrysalis yelled. "LEAVE HER ALONE!" Goten yelled, kneeing Chrysalis in the cheek, sending her flying at her throne. "Why you...!" Chrysalis yelled. Gohan flew up to beside her again. Goten was panting heavily, and was even more injured than before. Gohan was relatively okay. Nothing much on him. "How much more do you plan to resist?" Chrysalis asked, regaining her composure. "Until we win!" Goten yelled, making his aura flare. Starlight just felt useless at that moment. "You can't, don't you see?' Chrysalis asked. Goten noticed the throne. 'What a weird thr- That's it!' He thought. "I will defeat you!" Goten yelled. "You are powerless alone. What do you expect to happen?" Chrysalis asked. "Not alone... I can't beat you alone. But I can with my friends!" Goten yelled, pointing his fingers at his face. "Your friends can't even use magic. What do you-" "SOLAR FLARE!" Goten yelled, unleashing the Solar Flare! The blinding light was even too much for Gohan! Starlight couldn't see either. "ARGH! WHAT IS THIS!?" Chrysalis screamed. She felt herself be punched away from her throne. "HA!" Goten screamed, firing a powerful blast at the throne! Destroying it completely! Gohan could finally see again. So could everyone else affected. "NO! My throne!" Chrysalis said. "She can't nullify our magic!" Starlight said. Gohan had a mean face, and charged at Goten. Goten blocked one punch, but he wasn't ready for the next onslaught of punches and kicks. Once he finished that Killer Instinct combo, he punched Goten straight at the ground. He fired a Kamehameha at Goten while he laid there! "GOTEN!" Starlight screamed. BOOM! Debris everywhere! Chrysalis cackled. "It doesn't matter now! You may have destroyed the throne, but you can't defeat me now!" She yelled. The debris died down... Goten was in there... Super Saiyan... And a broken arm. Seems familiar. Starlight started to cry. 'I can't give up now...' Goten thought. He grasped the ground with his good and bloodied hand. He got himself up. 'Equestria's depending on me... My friends are depending on me...' He thought. He stared Gohan in the face. "AND GOHAN'S DEPENDING ON ME! HRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAGGH!" Goten screamed, powering up in pure rage. Starlight was amazed at what she saw... https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/dragonballfanon/images/b/b5/Tumblr_o83je8d0Um1s2wkkxo5_500.gif/revision/latest?cb=20170305215311&path-prefix=es And finally, with one flash of yellow light... The aura was just around Goten. Lightning sparks flashed around him. Gohan remained unimpressed... Mostly because of his mind control. "Is he...? A Super Saiyan 2?" Starlight muttered. Goten gave Gohan a cold stare. 'I will save you, brother.' He thought. "END HIM ALREADY!" Chrysalis demanded. Although he only had one hand... He wound it up. He was gonna do it. "Kamehame..." He yelled. Gohan grunted and charged a Kamehameha in his hands. "HAA!" Goten screamed, unleashing his blast at Gohan. Gohan unleashed his blast too. Chrysalis and Starlight watched in awe as they saw the power struggle. It remained in the middle. Goten grunted loudly as he kept trying to beat out the other blast. 'Don't give up... Don't give up! DO IT!' Goten thought. Goten put even more power into his blast! The blast started to push Gohan's back! 'Yes! Almost there!' He thought. But... Play the 'oh no!' Music! "HA!" Gohan yelled, turning Super Saiyan. 'Oh no... OH NO!' Goten thought. Well... We're fucked. The blast easily pushed Goten's back. "YES! KILL HIM!" Chrysalis commanded. "NO!" Starlight yelled. The blast was extremely close to Goten. He started to cry in shame... 'I couldn't do it... I couldn't save Equestria... I couldn't save my friends... I couldn't even save Gohan.' He thought, closing his eyes. "Don't give up, Goten!" A familiar voice called. Goten opened up his eyes. "G.... Gohan?" He asked. Gohan flew down beside him. "W-What are you... H-How did...?" Goten stuttered. "Show them our combined power, Goten! Or else we can't win!" Gohan yelled, turning Super Saiyan and cupping his hands together. "B-But you... He..." Goten thought. "Kamehameha!" Gohan screamed. Now there were two Gohans. Which one was real...? The Bros. Kamehameha was actually pushing Gohan's back! "W-What!? H-How are you... HOW ARE YOU BEATING HIM WITH ONE HAND!?" Chrysalis asked. She and Starlight couldn't see the other Gohan. "Because ~~this hand is my fapping hand!~~ GOOD ALWAYS BEATS EVIL!" Goten screamed, putting even more power into the blast! Every last ounce of his strength was put into it. Gohan was overwhelmed by this strength and... And... "AAAAAHHHHHHH!" He screamed as he lost the beam struggle. *** Goten opened his eyes... He saw a Gohan... Injured, a bit bloodied, and with a torn up gi. "I'm proud of you, Goten!" He said. Goten was genuinely confused. "What... What happened?" He asked. He was completely healed. "You turned Super Saiyan 2 and beat Gohan!" Starlight said "Where are we?" Goten asked, looking around. The hive was destroyed by the awesome beam struggle. And... "Why is Thorax so different?" Goten asked, noticing King Thorax. "We defeated the changelings with no magic whatsoever... Like usual." Starlight said. "And you freed me from my mind control! Thanks a lot, buddy!" Gohan said, giving Goten a big hug. "Goten and Starlight are the real MVPs today!" Rainbow Dash said. Everyone started cheering for them. I mean, the new changelings, Thorax, the ponies and even Flurry. Gohan broke the hug. "Now, let's go home. I bet we're all pretty-" Gohan said, before- Chrysalis was still alive! She emerged from some remains of the hive and hissed. "You tricked me! You deceiving monkey!" Chrysalis yelled. "What?" Everyone started to ask. Gohan started to sweat. "You pretended to be under my control, I should have known!" Chrysalis said. "...You what?" Goten asked. "That doesn't matter now, Chrysalis." Celestia said. "You have five alicorns, two Super Saiyans, Discord, the elements bearers, and the entire changeling kingdom against you. You can't win!" Rainbow Dash said. Starlight stepped up to Chrysalis. "When Twilight and her friends defeated me, I chose to run away and seek revenge! You don't have to! You can be the leader your subjects deserve." She said, holding out a hoof. Chrysalis ain't having any of that. She slapped the hoof! "There is no revenge you could ever conceive of that will come close to what I will exact upon you one day, Starlight Glimmer!" She yelled, flying away. "Oh well. It's not like she can win next time." Gohan said. "Yeah. Speaking of which..." Starlight asked. "She said something about you tricking her?" Twilight asked. "What's that all about!?" Goten asked angrily. "Well... Uh..." Gohan said. Truth be told, Gohan was never under Chrysalis' control! He was fucking with her the whole time! And this was the best opportunity to get Goten to harness Super Saiyan 2. "Well? I'm askiolololo..." Goten said as he was knocked out by Gohan again. "Alright, I'll tell you guys the truth, but don't tell him, please. I wanted him to get the spotlight and get him to go Super Saiyan 2." Gohan said. "We won't tell him... But you did something great for the changelings by doing this, at least." Starlight said. "I mean, you were the one who got Thorax to be King." Gohan said. "Yeah, I know, bu-" And we'll end the story there. Author's Note Okay, my little 'marathon' might end here. So expect a new chapter in like, a week or two, or maybe tomorrow if I have the time. That's why it might end, not definitely. Goten - 290,000,000 SSJ- 14,500,000,000 SSJ2- 29,000,000,000 Gohan (multi-form, duh) - 31,125,000,000 SSJ- 1,556,250,000,000 Bros Kamehameha (Half Gohan) - 5,000,000,000,000 (I don't care) Bros Kamehameha - 6,500,000,000,000
Frieza's Revenge Pt. 1"My calculations were correct. The Planet Namek still has its dragon balls." Someone said. He was a blue midget with a big black nose. Guess who? Sorbet! "They were, but I'm still a bit worried, Sorbet." Another one said. This guy was more of a humanoid who had black lips and an overall light purple body. It was Tagoma. "About what?" Sorbet asked. "Is the resurrection of Lord Frieza really necessary for our army?" Tagoma asked. "You're still going on about that? It is necessary!" Sorbet said. "Our army found out that Lord Frieza and the Ginyu Force were defeated. Soon, a rebellion took place for the ownership of a planet or two. The internal leadership of the army fell apart." Sorbet said. "I did glance for Lord Frieza a while ago, but... I didn't think he was that impressive as he rarely showed up." Tagoma said. Sorbet grinned. "It was enough to show up rarely and pass on fear among his people." He said. "Is that so? Well, it sounds disappointing to have an annoying dictator as a leader who just all talk." Tagoma said. "What?" Sorbet asked. The door burst open. "What a pathetic thing to say!" Came a voice. It was Shisami, red giant with brown horns and the same brown nose as Sorbet. "Tagoma! To think Lord Frieza's revival will be witnessed by someone with such little faith in his power." Shisami said. "Shisami..." Tagoma said. "Lord Frieza's revival can be witnessed by you guys as well. We're landing!" Sorbet said. *** After many interrogations, murders and genocide, the group found the dragon balls. "Rise, Porunga!" Sorbet commanded. Out from the Namekian dragon balls came Porunga, Shenron on steroids. "I am the Eternal Dragon. State your wishes, and I shall grant them." Porunga said. "Wishes? We get more than one wish?" Sorbet asked. "Yes. Three in total." Porunga said. "Great! We can do other things after Lord Frieza is back!" Tagoma said. "I wish for Frieza! Bring him back to life!" Sorbet said. Porunga didn't grant the wish. He just stood there. "Bring Frieza back to life!" Sorbet repeated. ... "Are you deaf? You told us we could wish for anything!" Sorbet said. "Of course it can be done, but his body was cut to pieces and obliterated many years ago." Porunga said. *** "FRIEZAAAAAA!" Trunks yelled, swinging his sword down on Mecha Frieza. He was cut in half! Then into many more pieces before finally being blasted to smithereens. *** "I cannot restore it. There is little point to restoring his soul to that form." Porunga said. "What!? He would be in pieces? I haven't even considered that." Sorbet said. "We have three wishes. Wish for Lord Frieza, wish to put him back together and finally wish him back to life!" Tagoma said. "Huh? Dragon, can you will Frieza's remains here?" Sorbet asked. "Very well." Porunga said, and his eyes glowed red. Mecha Frieza's very few remains were brought there. "Put him back together again, please!" Sorbet said. "Very well." Porunga said, doing just that. Frieza wasn't in a metal thing anymore, he was in his final form. But dead. "And finally, for our last wish, bring him back to life!" Sorbet said. "As you wish." Porunga said, and did just that. Frieza was back... Porunga retreated back into the dragon balls, and they all flew up into the sky across Namek. Frieza's eyes opened! He sat up and looked around. "Lord Frieza! You're back!" Sorbet said. "What happened?" Frieza asked, inspecting his hands. "We brought you back to life." Sorbet said. "Extraordinary. Let's continue this back at the ship." Frieza said. *** Frieza was back in his first form. His armor was back, and the ship was in space. "It appears that I've become a bit rusty." He said. "It may take some time before I can exact my revenge." He added. "Revenge?" Sorbet asked. "You told me that Goku is dead, correct?" He asked. "Yes, my lord." Sorbet said. "But I know his son is still around. That brat killed me and took me back to hell! It makes sense that I exact revenge on those foolish monkeys!" Frieza said. "It appears both his sons are still around. On a planet named Equestria." Sorbet said. "Equestria, you say?" Frieza asked. "It will take about four months to get there, my lord." Sorbet said. "Perfect." Frieza said. "B-But Lord Frieza... Shouldn't we prioritize making the universe-" Sorbet said before a death stare was on him. Tagoma took the reigns from there. "Pardon me if this sounds out of line, but wouldn't it be wiser to simply ignore the two Saiyans? I mean, they must be weaklings if they're still children." Tagoma said. Frieza finger blasted Tagoma in the arm. "Silence!" He yelled, finger blasting Tagoma even more. He fell to his knees in pain. "He is comparable to Zarbon and Dodoria, correct?" Frieza asked. "It appears the Frieza Army has weakened during my brief absence." He said. "Over a decade..." Sorbet muttered. "How do you intend for the Frieza Army, the mightiest force in the universe, to continue to do their job when they cower at the thought of a few measly Saiyans!?" Frieza asked. He finger blasted Tagoma in the knee. Making him fall to the ground face first. "L-Lord Frieza... Please forgive me...." Tagoma begged. "Killing you immediately would bring me no entertainment. But as I have no need for weaklings, you may thus proceed to crawl on the floor like that for the rest of your days." Frieza said. The other soldiers in the room were sweating bullets. "L-Lord Frieza... The Saiyan, Son Gohan... It appears he has gone through massive changes." Sorbet said. "Oh? Enlighten me. Who is that brat?" Frieza asked. "He was part of thwarting your mission on Planet Namek." Sorbet said. "And can he turn Super Saiyan as well?" Frieza asked. "Well, yes. And our scouts reported that... Well, he has attained two transformations beyond that." Sorbet said. Frieza laughed. "I had assumed so. Of course they'd be stronger. I simply need to become stronger, then." He said. "This could been quite entertaining." He added. "Entertaining, sir?" Sorbet asked. "I haven't trained a day in my life. I am a natural born prodigy. Imagine how greatly my power level would skyrocket if I were to undergo training. If my estimations are correct, if I were to train hard for four months, I would be able to easily surpass those insects. I look forward to seeing the results in four months!" Frieza said, before laughing. OHOHOHOHOHO! *** Gohan and Goten were going home from school again. "Bye you guys!" Pinkie said. "Bye!" Gohan and Goten said. "Don't forget tomorrow is prom!" Rarity said. "Well, I know I'm not going." Goten said. "I didn't even plan to go either. But I do now." Gohan said, going into the portal. *** They were back in the pony world. "Welcome back." Twilight said. "Hm..." Gohan said, putting a hand to his chin. "What's wrong?" Twilight asked. "I don't know. I just really have a good feeling that something bad just happened." Gohan said. "Whatever it is, I'm sure it's fine." Twilight said. "Maybe... Oh well. Let's go home, Goten." Gohan said. "Yay!" Goten said. Author's Note As it turns out, I was able to make this one. Expect the next one tomorrow. Or in the morning, I don't know. It's really late. Oh, and, no Golden Frieza.
Frieza's Revenge Pt. 2The next day... It's prom night! Well, not yet. School just ended. The Humane 7 and Gohan were heading to Rarity's for dresses and a suit. Goten was heading home, since... Well, he didn't give two shits about prom. "Bye! Have fun!" Goten said, entering the portal. "I've never been to a dance before!" Twilight said, as they all started walking towards Rarity's. "The last one was the Spring Fling. You've missed every one until now." Rainbow Dash said. "Gohan missed every one until today too!" Pinkie said. "No, he came to the Fall Formal last year." Sunset said. "That... Was mainly for the princess. I mean, you were-" "-I know." Sunset interrupted. "What happened?" Twilight asked. "I turned into a she-demon." Sunset said. "Oh. That." Twilight said. "And like almost every villain, I underestimated Gohan severely." Sunset said. "I think we all did." Applejack said. "We didn't expect him to defeat Rainbow 3-0 so easily." Pinkie said. "I told you not to bring that up!" Gohan said. "Wait, what?" Rainbow Dash asked. "I'm just as confused." Pinkie said. "Nevermind." Gohan said. "He's too humble." Sunset said. "Wait, why is he coming to prom now?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Guess who he's going out with~!" Pinkie said. "You don't know?" Fluttershy asked. "I honestly don't know either." Twilight said. "It's pretty obvious, come on!" Pinkie said. "I really don't know!" Rainbow Dash said. Gohan chuckled. "I didn't ask her." He said. "Oh, so someone asked Gohan out?" Twilight asked. "That's pretty obvious, he doesn't even look at girls." Rainbow Dash said. "Do you remember the time we tried getting him to look at women?" Rarity asked. *** Gohan was given a playboy magazine to read by the girls. They were in the library. He didn't realize it was that stuff. So he read for a bit. "So, what do you think of the book?" Pinkie asked. "Is this a children's book?" Gohan asked. "Uh..." Everyone said. "Gosh, how sad. These women must be really poor. They can't even afford clothes." Gohan said. Then everyone fell over. "Did I say something wrong?" Gohan asked. *** "I still can't believe you thought they were poor..." Rarity said. "And I still can't believe you tried to get me to enjoy nudity." Gohan said. "Good point." Sunset said. "Anyway, just tell me who it is!" Rainbow Dash said. "Me too!" Twilight said. "It's me!" Sunset said as a matter of factly. "You?" Twilight asked, pointing at Sunset. Rainbow Dash started laughing. Sunset crossed her arms. Gohan just smiled. "Sorry, but man, I didn't expect that!" Rainbow Dash said. "Why?" Sunset asked. "Y'know, I would consider you to be the last person to ask him out." Rainbow Dash said. "I can see why." Sunset said. *** In Equestria... Goten was flying home. He was just going to eat the prepped food, and- He stopped in mid air. "What the heck is that ki!?" He said to himself. He found it somewhere in the sky. "Yo! Goten!" Rainbow Dash yelled, flying straight at him. "What is it?" Goten asked. "Princess Celestia needs us at Canterlot. ASAP." Rainbow Dash said, flying away. *** "What happened, princess?" Twilight asked. They were in the throne room. "It appears pirates are approaching Equestria at a fast rate. The tyrant Frieza... He has been resurrected." Celestia said. "Wait, you mean that guy Goku beat? How'd he come back to life?" Rainbow Dash asked. Fluttershy squeaked in fear. "I'm afraid we don't know... But he's coming at an alarming rate. I'm afraid he may be here in about an hour." Luna said. "Goten can handle it, right?" Starlight asked. "I don't know. He is arriving with a whole army of his men. It would be wise to gather Equestria's best capable fighters to combat Frieza." Celestia said. "Well, guessing by his men... The guards wouldn't really hurt them." Goten said. "Precisely. That's why we're going to gather Cadence, Shining Armor, and we will aid in the battle. Goten, are you prepared to take on Frieza?" Celestia asked. "Well, the last time he was really weak, but this time his power's insane!" Goten said. "You're kidding." Rainbow Dash said. "We have to-" Twilight said, before they saw a spaceship outside. Oh fuck. "Crapbaskets." Twilight said. "Oh, you say that too." Goten said. "It appears we have no time. Twilight, take us to the Foal Mountains." Celestia said. "That's where Frieza will land. We must hurry!" Luna said. "I'm going to get Cadence and Shining Armor!" Goten said, running out of the castle. "I'm... Not sure if I want to fight..." Fluttershy said. "You don't have to. The one we require is Twilight Sparkle. Everyone else may volunteer." Celestia said. "Well I'm game!" Rainbow Dash said. "Same here! Yippee!" Pinkie said. "Well, shoot. I might as well." Applejack said. "Yeah!" Starlight said. "I'm afraid I'm not a fighter..." Rarity said. "Same here..." Fluttershy said. "You may take refuge here. Let's hope Goten can handle Frieza..." Celestia said. *** Gohan was inspecting the suit Rarity just made for him. "Perfect!" He said, walking into the stall and changing. "I still can't believe you asked him out." Rainbow Dash whispered. "Hey, you all had a date. Even Fluttershy and Twilight have one." Sunset said. "So you're treating Gohan as a last resort?" Applejack asked with a smirk. "What? No!" Sunset said. "Sounds like you got a crush~!" Pinkie whispered in Sunset's ear. Sunset swatted Pinkie's hand away. "I do not!" She said. "Sunset, I know it's hard to admit..." Fluttershy said. "Not you too!" Sunset said. Fluttershy leaned into her ear. "I saw you kiss him on the cheek." She whispered very quietly. Sunset blushed. 'Damn.' She thought. "What'd she say?" Rainbow Dash asked. "It's a secret!" Fluttershy said with a wink. Sunset facepalmed. "What are you guys talking about?" Gohan asked from in the stall. "I can barely understand what the subject is." He added. Everyone but Sunset giggled. "It's a secret, Gohan." Rainbow Dash said. Sunset checked her phone for some sort of notification until she realized her book was vibrating. She opened the book and... "Dear Sunset Shimmer, How are you? Equestria's fine, for the most part. But right now, we're in a bit of trouble. Maybe Goten can handle it, I don't know, but we need Gohan just in case. Can you get him over here? I know this is the worst time, since I really want to see you two together, but this is a possible crisis. Your friend, Twilight Sparkle" Sunset closed the book quickly. "What did the princess have to say?" Rarity asked. "O-Oh, you know... How are you, and stuff like that." Sunset said. "Aren't you gonna write back?" Pinkie asked. "Later." Sunset said. "I hope it isn't important." Fluttershy said. "I know this sounds random but I feel like something bad is going on somewhere." Gohan said. *** Frieza's ship "Lord Frieza, we are ready to land on Equestria." Sorbet said. "Good." Frieza said. They were at cloud level now. "Hell was an endless torture I will never endure again! Now I am reborn, and soon taste the sweet suckle of victory!" Frieza said before cackling. The start of vengeance... *** Equestria's second fiddle fighters were all in a field around the Foal Mountains. Many plateaus, a large body of water nearby, and not a lot of grass anywhere. Seems familiar. Goten, Celestia, Luna, Cadence, Twilight, Shining Armor, Starlight, Rainbow Dash, Applejack and Pinkie were all ready to fight. Frieza's ship was about to land about 3 miles away from them. Goten started to sweat. 'How did he get so strong...?' He thought. "Okay, so I have a plan." Twilight said. "Give it straight, and don't get too eggheady." Rainbow Dash said. "So, I believe that us princesses can handle a Frieza soldier single handedly. Maybe even Shining Armor. But, Starlight, Applejack, Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie... I think you all need to make a combined effort to fight one." Twilight said. "Goten, do you think you can handle Frieza?" She asked. "I'm not really sure..." Goten said. "Well, it's a good thing I contacted Sunset before this. She'll let Gohan know to come here." Twilight said. "That's a relief." Shining Armor said. Frieza's ship landed! Soldiers erupted from the ship. "Hol- How many soldiers this they fit in that ship!?" Rainbow Dash asked. "It's chock full!" Applejack said. "Let's go meet them head on!" Twilight said. "Yeah!" Everyone said, starting to run towards the ship. Then, finally, the last ones to leave the ship were Sorbet, Tagoma, Shisami and Frieza. Who was in a bubble car. They all stopped about three fourths of a mile from the ship. They were all ready to fight! "There are so many!" Starlight said. "Nothing annoys me more than uninvited guests." Shining Armor said. "At least I brought us enough senzu beans from Zecora!" Goten said, showing off the pouch. "How many?" Starlight asked. "Fifteen. This time it was on the house! It's like she knew Frieza was coming." Goten said, tying it to his belt. "Great! We have enough to save us from death." Luna said. Now the army was finally ready. Goddamn, there were millions of them. (Power levels: 300 - 3,000,000) Frieza got a closer look at Equestria's fighters. He was mostly looking for- "Aha. There he is. He looks just like that ingrate Goku." Frieza said. "A bunch of horses and one monkey. At least there's variety." He said. "That's Frieza in the chair? What a weird way to get around town. Not as weird as Pinkie's contraption..." Rainbow Dash said. Speaking of whom... "HEY! YOU BIG MEANIE PANTS!" She yelled, flying up to Frieza in her fucking weird helicopter thingy. "PINKIE!" Everyone yelled. "I'M GONNA MAKE SURE YOU DON'T BE A BULLY WITH ALL THIS CAKE I HAPPENED TO-" Goten jumped up and pulled her down before she did something stupid. "What are you doing!?" He asked. "Fighting Frieza!" Pinkie said. "You'll die!" Goten said. Frieza was laughing his ass off. "You used that unstable contraption to fly up to me? Ohohohoho!" He said. "What are you and your army doing here, Frieza?" Celestia called. "Isn't it obvious? I'm here for revenge on two people." Frieza said. "Gohan and Goten?" Cadence asked. "No and Yes. Their miserable excuse of a father, Goku and that boy!" Frieza said. "I don't see that other boy... What was his name... Gohan?" He asked. "No, but he's coming soon!" Rainbow Dash said. "To kick your flank!" She added. "I hope he arrives soon...!" Twilight said. "I don't know how he got so much stronger than last time. It hasn't been that long!" Goten said. "Gohan's gonna come real soon, okay?" Starlight asked. "You put so much faith in the boy. On Namek he barely stood a chance against me, but here you think he can beat me? I've grown stronger than that bug Cell exponentially." Frieza said. 'That's not good.' They all thought. "Since you just need the boy, I'll wait longer for him to show. Ten seconds." Frieza said. "Ten seconds!? You no good varmit!" Applejack yelled. Frieza started counting with his fingers. "That's one. Two.... Three..." He continued. All the warriors got into some sort of battle pose. "And eight... Nine... Ten." Frieza said. "Alright Soldiers, SHOW NO MERCY!" Sorbet commanded. All the Frieza soldiers flew at the ten fighters! "Get ready, everypony! This'll be the fight for our lives!" Goten yelled. Author's Note Damn it, Sunset! Why is she doing this...? I think it's pretty obvious.
Frieza's Revenge Pt. 3"So... There's about a thousand in total... So a hundred per pony. We don't have to win entirely, we just have to hold out until Gohan's here!" Twilight said. "Don't hurt them more than you have to!" Pinkie said. "I hope you're ready!" Goten said, flying up at the army. "Ten against a thousand. This is amazing! It's a field day." Sorbet said. "Don't be so sure about that." Frieza said. "What do you mean?" Sorbet asked. Rainbow Dash created a tornado to repel quite a few Frieza soldiers. "W-What?" Sorbet asked. "What's the power level of that rainbow one?" Frieza asked. "It's... Uh... 450!?" Sorbet asked. "Don't worry. If they all have that power level, then-" "Tagoma, quiet." Frieza interrupted. "Now, do the boy." Frieza said. "It's..." Sorbet said before the scouter broke. "You see? They are all powerful than the other." Frieza saidz Shining Armor, Celestia, Luna and Twilight were blasting the soldiers away! Pinkie Pie was pulling out all her weird party cannon stuff and doing weird moves to repel enemies. Cadence and Applejack were working together. Applejack lassoed a few soldiers at once, holding them down for a blast by Cadence. She also bucked a few of them away. Goten was just doing great. He punched one away, while grabbing the arm of another and tossing him down. He caught the fist of yet another one and punched him away. "This is insane!" Sorbet said with his new scouter. "Power levels eighty million... Ninety million... seventy five million... 300... 350... twenty million..." He went through. "It should hardly surprise you, Sorbet. It was obvious that this would happen. You've let the force deteriorate into weaklings." Frieza said. "I-I apologize, my lord." Sorbet said. Rainbow Dash narrowly dodged a fist and smashed her forehoof into the soldier. Starlight blasted a few and used a force field to repel many at once. Frieza wasn't really happy with this. Applejack lassoed a few into more soldiers. Goten spun around like a tornado, knocking out a ton. Eventually, a Frieza soldier put him in a chokehold and- Goten elbowed him immediately, blasting him into the water. The last of the first wave of soldiers were down. The group panted. Except Goten. "That was just the first wave. Are you guys okay?" Twilight asked. "Yes!" Rainbow Dash said. "The boy... Hm... He's just like his father. He's a noble man, never killing unnecessarily. His strikes are not lethal, even though they can be. It makes me want to puke." Frieza said. "This is horrible! The soldiers should use their advantage in numbers and perform a coordinated assault! If the funnel the ten of them together it could be over!" Sorbet said. Frieza flicked Sorbet away. "That may be the most asinine military strategy ever uttered. Or least the most boring. Why would we want them to get together so they can help each other out?" Frieza asked. The next wave of fighters was sent. "Here we go!" Goten yelled, making his yellow aura flare. Rainbow Dash flew up to grab a cloud, and zapped some soldiers! Pinkie was punched by a soldier, but luckily managed to only get a little damage. Said soldier was blasted away by Twilight. "Are you okay, Pinkie?" She asked. "Yep!" Pinkie said, hopping away. "Gohan, get here soon!" Twilight muttered as she flew into the fray. *** Speaking of whom... "We all look marvelous!" Rarity said. "This is the Fall Formal all over again!" Rainbow Dash said. "Is it...?" Rarity asked. "Yes. It is." Applejack said. "Yeah, but I have a suit this time. Why did I have to wear a suit instead of my favorite?" Gohan asked. "Now that you're going with a lady you must be more presentable." Rarity said. "What? Oh. Right." Gohan said. He had a black suit with a white shirt and a black tie. Fit with black penny loafers. "You even gave Twilight the same thing you gave the princess!" Pinkie said. "Except she has glasses to go with it." Fluttershy said. "I mean, it's kind of like the Fall Formal. She was asked out by Flash." Rarity said. "I still get the feeling he only likes me because I look like the princess." Twilight said. "No, his feelings are genuine, Twi." Sunset said from inside the stall. "Are you ready yet?" Pinkie asked. "No!" Sunset said. "You've been in there for a half hour. Come on!" Rainbow Dash said. "Now, now. Give her time. Maybe she's shy?" Gohan said. "Why would she?" Fluttershy asked. "It's a theory, I guess." Gohan said. "Alright! I'm done!" Sunset said. "Then let's see!" Rarity said. Sunset stepped out of the stall. https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/mlp/images/a/ab/Sunset_Shimmer_ID_EGDS2.png/revision/latest?cb=20171106005307 "Wow. You look beautiful." Gohan said. "Really?" Sunset asked. Gohan nodded. "Ooh~... Someone's the charmer tonight." Rarity said. "I'm only complimenting her." Gohan said. "Uh, yeah. That's what you do." Rainbow Dash said. "Oh." Gohan said. "...How did your father charm your mother?" Rarity asked. "I think he did it without realizing it... I mean, he got married because he thought marriage was a food." Gohan said. "You're kidding..." Pinkie said, trying to suppress a laugh. "I'm really not." Gohan said. "At least you know what it is... Right?" Sunset asked. "Obviously. It's when two people decide they want to become one person!" Gohan said. Everyone stared at him. "Nah, I'm only kidding. It's when two people get together and live together. Matrimony is pretty much a promise to stay together." Gohan said. Everyone sighed. "I was ready to kill you." Sunset said. "Sorry." Gohan said before chuckling. "Well, let's get going!" Rainbow Dash said. *** "HA!" Goten yelled, firing a Kamehameha at a wave of soldiers. Huge explosion ensued. Took down a ton of soldiers with that. "Ah!" Applejack yelled. She was being knocked around by two soldiers. Rainbow Dash swooped in and kicked the two of them into each other. "You okay, AJ?" She asked. "Ugh... No..." Applejack said, trying to stand up. "Goten!" Rainbow Dash yelled. "Huh?" He asked, kicking a soldier away. "Senzu bean!" Rainbow Dash yelled. "Senzu bean?" Goten asked. "Senzu bean!" Rainbow Dash said. "Senzu bean!" Goten yelled, throwing a senzu bean at her. Rainbow Dash caught it with her hoof and shoved it into Applejack's mouth. Fully healed! "Ya know, you could've done it a bit lighter. I'm not knocked out." Applejack said. "Whatever. Just don't get killed." Rainbow Dash said, flying away to ram herself into a soldier. Applejack sighed as she grabbed her lasso and trapped a soldier. "Gotcha!" She said. Celestia and Luna made a combined effort to blast away a group of soldiers. "Perfect, sister. Victory is at hand!" Luna said. "I'm afraid not yet. Two of them up there are incredibly powerful. I can feel it." Celestia said. "Do not worry. Son Gohan is coming!" Luna said. "Yes." Celestia said. Goten performed an explosive wave, technically exploding himself without damaging himself to knock out the soldiers. Twilight and Shining Armor performed a combined blast on Tagoma! The result... He swatted it away. The two gasped. "Tagoma. Don't." Frieza said. Tagoma only grunted as he crossed his arms. More and more Frieza soldiers fell. "They're an even greater humiliation to my name then I thought they were." Frieza said. Sorbet finally came back. "Lord Frieza!" Sorbet said. "Sorbet, get the stronger ones in there." Frieza said. "Yes, my lord. Shisami!" Sorbet said. "It's about time." Shisami said. "I was getting tired of watching this." He added. "Leave no one standing!" Sorbet commanded. "Gladly." Shisami said, flying in. No more soldiers except him were sent in. Sorbet cackled. "Shisami is the most powerful soldier in the modern day Frieza force! He's gonna send you all to the next world! Before you even have time to pray!" He said. Tagoma wasn't happy to hear that... Shisami flew in front of Celestia and Luna. But Goten appeared in between them. "Stay back, Princesses. He's too strong." Goten said. Celestia and Luna nodded before retreating a bit. "This one's definitely fighting in a higher weight class." Twilight said. "Good luck, Goten!" Pinkie said. "So, a little kid like you wants to tangle with me? This should be fun." Shisami said. Goten grunted. Shisami charged at Goten! Goten responded by throwing a ton of ki blasts, but Shisami powered through all of them. "You think you can defeat me with your little amateur fireworks show!?" Shisami asked as he punched them all away. Then, he got Goten in a bear hug! "That's it, break his back!" Sorbet commanded. Shisami really put his strength into it. Goten yelped in pain. Sorbet cackled. "HRRAAAGH!" Goten yelled, turning Super Saiyan and breaking free. "What is that!?" Shisami asked. Goten was... "A Super Saiyan!? He can turn into one too!?" Frieza asked. "I couldn't have guessed that even his son could transform..." He added. Then he had Goku flashbacks since they looked EXACTLY THE FUCKING SAME! "I'm the strongest one in the Frieza force! I won't lose to you-" Shisami said before suddenly... A blast penetrated him from behind. Absolutely everyone was flabbergasted. It was Tagoma! Shisami had a real hole in his body. "What!? Tagoma... You traitor!" Shisami yelled. Then he died. He fell to the ground. "That's not fair!" Goten yelled. "Hey! What the hell was that for!?" Sorbet yelled. "I think the stronger one's coming to play!" Goten said. "Stronger, you say?" Sorbet asked. "You build an empire by the bones of your soldiers, sir. Not by crying by one weak soldier, it's no wonder the army is soft under you." Tagoma said. "Who do you think you are, talking to me like that? I'm your superior!" Sorbet said. Tagoma gave Sorbet a death stare. Frieza knew exactly what was happening. "That's insane!" Shining Armor said. "Never in my life have I seen such bad teamwork!" He added. "Why would he do that?" Cadence asked. "Actually, I should thank you, Sorbet. You were the one to convince Lord Frieza that I be healed so I can be his training partner." Tagoma said. From the countless battles, he gained extreme strength. By battle I mean torture. "I'm not the coward I used to be. I've become a warrior worthy of serving Frieza. And I will prove how worthy I am!" Tagoma said. "If I take them all down, may I become the commander? Your right hand man?" He asked. "Very well. You can also have all the planets you want! Even a minor galaxy if you so desire." Frieza said. 'If we can find one...' Sorbet thought. "Excellent, Lord Frieza. Now I'm even more excited about spilling their blood!" Tagoma said. "You may fight the boy for my pleasure." Frieza said. "Thank you." Tagoma said, flying down to Goten. He then powered up immensely. 'Whoa! That's huge!' Goten thought. "Be ready, you runt!" Tagoma yelled. "Alright mister!" Goten said, bowing then getting in his fighting pose. Author's Note Power Levels: Shisami - 320,000,000 Tagoma - Next Chapter
Frieza's Revenge Pt. 4Tagoma grinned at Goten. "Come on! I'm waiting!" Goten said. "Weakling. I'll crush you in under three minutes." Tagoma said. "Okay!" Goten said. Goten's inner Trunks told him to do something hilarious. Goten charged at Tagoma, throwing a punch. Tagoma dodged and threw a punch of his own! Goten blocked and kicked Tagoma away! "Hey! Look behind you!" Goten yelled. "Huh?" Tagoma asked, looking behind him. "Super Goten smash!" Goten yelled, flying straight at Tagoma and... Shit. He rammed his head... Into his balls. Tagoma's eyes bulged wider than ever before. His Gotens! Rainbow Dash was laughing her ass off at that. "That... Indecent attack... Isn't weak, I suppose." Twilight said. Tagoma was on the ground, grabbing his ballsack in pain. "Tagoma, it's time to get back up! Destroy them already? Unless you want me to kill you first?" Frieza said. Tagoma managed to get himself up. "I will end you!" He yelled, powering up even more. 'He held back!?' Goten thought. Tagoma rushed Goten, giving him no time to recover from any attack! "He's getting pushed back!" Twilight said. "Gurrh!" Goten coughed. Eventually he punched Goten down to the lake. "Where's Gohan!?" Rainbow Dash asked. "We need to get him!" Applejack said. "I sent a message to Sunset Shimmer! Unless... Uh oh. Maybe she didn't get it!" Twilight said. "Then what do we do!?" Shining Armor asked. "I have to go back. You guys have to hold out!" Twilight said. Goten flew straight back up to Tagoma. He threw a barrage of fists and kicks to no avail. Tagoma grabbed his foot and hurled him at a plateau! He fired a barrage of ki blasts straight at Goten! He started laughing while doing it. Twilight teleported back to her castle as soon as she could. *** "Prom!" Pinkie yelled as everyone got out of the limo. Sunset was glad this was finally happening. Maybe tonight she could finally give the clueless hero the truth. The whole group was waiting for their dates to show up. Waiting on the steps. Then the portal started to react. "What's happening to the portal?" Applejack asked. "Twilight?" Gohan asked. Twilight came through the portal. "P-Princess?" Sunset asked. "Me?" Sci-Twi asked. "Gohan, come quick! We need you, desperately!" Twilight said. "What happened?" Gohan asked, standing up. "Frieza's back! He's so strong that Goten's struggling against one of his soldiers!" Twilight said. "Oh no!" Sunset said. "I'm coming. Rarity, I apologize. I respect the craft, but..." Gohan said, putting a hand to his chest. He did the clothes beam on himself. Gi and boots! "This is important." He said. "That's alright. Kick his butt!" Rarity said. "Good luck. Not like you'll need it, but." Rainbow Dash said. "Thanks. I'm sorry, Sunset. I'll make this as quick as possible. I promise I'll be back." Gohan said. "Just beat him! I don't care that you have to do this." Sunset said with a smile, Gohan ran into the portal quickly. "Wait up!" Twilight said, running in. 'I feel really bad for not telling Gohan now.' Sunset thought. *** Goten, in the midst of the blasts, turned Super Saiyan 2! Repelling every one! His shirts were a little torn. "What the...!?" Tagoma asked before all of a sudden, he was hit in the face with a punch. Goten blasted his stomach at full power! Tagoma was able to barely move the blast away. "He's had this power all along!?" Tagoma asked. "It's a Super Saiyan 2!" Goten yelled. "There's yet another one?" Frieza asked. "Yes." Sorbet said. Goten kicked Tagoma right in the stomach before elbowing him right in the back! A little too hard... I would say. Broke his back. Brutal, I know. "Tagoma!" Sorbet yelled. "Alright!" Rainbow Dash said. "That's the Goten we know!" Pinkie said. Goten looked at Frieza. "FRIEZA! Your turn!" He yelled. Frieza was not happy at this. He finger blasted Goten, which actually hit him in the shoulder! 'Ah! My shoulder! Why does it always have to be my shoulder!?' He thought. "Saiyan." Frieza said, floating down to the same level as Goten. 'This seems vaguely familiar.' He thought. "I will kill you myself." He said. Goten made his aura flare. "I won't lose!" He yelled. "I'll be sure to make it painful!" Frieza said. "Goten!" Celestia yelled. "Stay back! I'll hold him off until Gohan gets here!" Goten yelled. "Such beautiful brotherhood. Placing your trust on that brat. Don't worry, once I get rid of you, he's next." Frieza said. Goten grunted. "I wonder what look he will have on his face when he finds out his brother died suffering. It's so much fun to even imagine that!" Frieza said. He finger blasted Goten in the knee, making lose the aura! 'Dang it!' He thought. Goten flew at Frieza! ...Only to be finger blasted back. Now in the arm. "What will you do now? If you don't hurry and run away... I will kill you." Frieza said. "Frieza is a true sadist." Celestia said. "Yes. It appears his hatred for the one Son Goku is worse than I imagined." Luna said. "I won't run away! Not now, not ever! Not on my friends!" Goten yelled. Next finger blast in the stomach. Goten screamed in pain. He floated down to the ground. Frieza followed. "Did that hurt, little boy?" Frieza asked. "Yes..." Goten said, sniffling. "But you see, my resentment for Son Goku is too much to be satisfied with just this." Frieza said, finger blasting the other knee. Blood poured from these wounds. "Now, why don't you try to run away?" Frieza asked. "Because... I won't... Give up... On-" Another one to the chest. More blood. Goten fell to his knee. One knee. "What's wrong? Can't run anymore?" Frieza asked. Finger blast the other shoulder. More blood. "Goten!" Everyone yelled. "Don't think you can stand in my presence!" Frieza yelled. Finger blasted again. Goten fell flat. "If you really wish to live, why don't you plead for your life!?" Frieza asked. Another finger blast. "Beg for me to help you. Cry. Cry while screaming!" Frieza yelled. Another finger blast. "Beg for me to end it!" Frieza yelled, laughing. "Even so, I won't actually spare you!" He yelled. Goten couldn't remain a Super Saiyan. "I suppose it's time to finish this. I've had my fun with you." Frieza said, flying up for some space. "I will kill you with my bare hands, Saiyan. Serves you right. Serves you right, Saiyan!" He yelled. Another one. "Damn that Frieza!" Luna yelled. "This will be at your heart, Saiyan. You have one final chance." Frieza said. "I... I will never..." Goten muttered. Frieza grinned wider than before. "Then DIE!" He screamed, finger blasting again! Everyone looked in shock. "GOTEN!" Everyone screamed. Tching! Boom! "What!?" Sorbet asked. "What!?" Frieza asked. The blast went off course. "Goten. Goten!" Gohan yelled. Gohan deflected the beam! "Gohan!" Starlight cheered. "He's here!" Rainbow Dash said. "Finally..." Applejack said. "I'll take him over there. You handle Frieza." Twilight said, taking Goten to the others. "You... You're wearing the exact same clothes as that ingrate. Wait... Are you..." Frieza asked. Gohan faced Frieza with determination. "Yeah. It's me, Frieza. Gohan!" Gohan said. "My my. It's been all these years and you've barely grown." Frieza said. "And you've really gotten a lot stronger since the last time we met." Gohan said. "Yes, I have been training." Frieza said. "That doesn't matter now, Frieza." Gohan said. "I'll take my father's place and defeat you!" Gohan yelled. "For what you did to Goten!" He yelled.

Frieza's Revenge Pt. 5Frieza laughed. Goten was given a senzu bean by his pouch. "Huh...? What happened?" He asked. "Don't worry. Gohan's here!" Cadence said. "Really!?" Goten asked, looking to his side. Gohan was facing Frieza. "Yeah! Get him, Gohan!" Goten cheered. "Are you sure THAT'S Gohan, my lord?" Sorbet asked. "Very clearly. His face is exactly the same, but his attire and his hair conpletely changed. His attire and face are the exact same as that monkey, Son Goku." Frieza said. Gohan stared coldly at Frieza. "Finally, I can reclaim the revenge I've dreamed of. Killing you is worth more than your pathetic brother." Frieza said. Gohan clenched his fists. "He is not pathetic!" He yelled. "Men! All at once!" Frieza commanded. "ALL AT ONCE!" Sorbet commanded. All the remaining men flew towards Gohan. 'How would I do this quickly and efficiently...? I know!' Gohan thought. He pointing his fingers at his face. "Solar Flare!" He yelled, blinding everyone- Even Frieza. The bystanders were blinded a bit too. "Ow!" "Ooh!" "Ah!" "Yeowch!" "Blah!" And etc. was heard. Then the sounds of many bodies dropping on the ground and water. Frieza opened his eyes. "What the...!?" Sorbet asked. "WE LOST ALL OUR MEN!" He yelled. "My my. You've grown immensely since we last met." Frieza said. "But, you still retain the same heart as your father... You didn't kill any of my men." He added. "I'm not the same kid you remember, Frieza. I am the successor of the one who defeated you on Planet Namek!" Gohan yelled. Frieza grinned as he flew out of his bubble car. He whacked it away with his tail. He flew down to the ground. "Now, I don't believe I have to try this time, will I?" Frieza asked. Gohan stared. "Your pathetic brother turned Super Saiyan and the second one, and yet he couldn't even stand up after I was done with him." Frieza said. Gohan looked over his shoulder. "You guys. Get away as far as you can." Gohan said. "But we want to see you kick Frieza's butt!" Pinkie said. Gohan was enraged already. "I can't risk you guys getting hurt! If you don't leave now, you'll die in the midst of this. This isn't a debate!" He yelled. "Come on, guys. I can take us to the castle in Canterlot." Twilight said. They all teleported away. "Sending your friends off to fight me alone. How gutless." Frieza said. "What? How is that gutless?" Gohan said. "Because. Suicide is the coward's way out." Frieza said. "Can we fight now?" Gohan asked. "Son of a- The memories are already back, YES!" Frieza yelled. Gohan jumped off the ground, straight at Frieza. Frieza held up a hand to block. But that wasn't enough this time. Gohan didn't punch his hand, instead he punched Frieza in the face! "Why you little...!" Frieza yelled, swiping his tail, hitting Gohan away. "You aren't even Super Saiyan yet you can harm me. I applaud you on your growth." Frieza said. "Well, I guess you knew." Gohan said. "Please. I met Cell in hell and laughed at the fact he lost to an eleven year old." Frieza said. "And I'm still fourteen." Gohan said. "What? That doesn't make any sense." Frieza said. "Time goes by slower here, Frieza. Now, let's get back to the fight." Gohan said. Frieza chuckled. "Let's." He said. Frieza dashed at Gohan, attacking with his tail once more. Gohan dodged and appeared behind him, kicking him in the back of the head. Frieza reacted quickly and fired many finger blasts at Gohan. Gohan swatted them all away, flying towards Frieza. He aimed to punch the stomach and- Frieza disappeared. Instead, Gohan was hit with a tail straight towards the ground. He recovered and maneuvered backwards to gain some distance. He also fired three ki blasts at Frieza. Frieza deflected all of them. "What will you do now, monkey?" He asked. Gohan put two fingers to his head. 'Is he...?' Frieza thought. "Makankosapp-" Gohan yelled before teleporting behind Frieza. Gohan punched Frieza down to the ground! He wasn't done yet, he appeared behind him to kick him back up! He broke a part of his armor! "Why you...!" Frieza yelled. He grabbed Gohan's next punch. Then he kneed him in the stomach and used his tail to knock him down to the ground. Gohan stopped on the ground. Frieza flew away and got on Gohan's level on the ground. "I'm impressed. You've managed to surpass me in my first form." Frieza said. "Surprised?" Gohan asked with a smirk. "I'm afraid not, monkey. You remember my transformations?" Frieza asked. "I do..." Gohan said. "I've given them a little upgrade of sorts." Frieza said, breaking his armor. Gohan could see something definitely changed in his transformation. Frieza started glowing white as he increased in size. 'His second form!' Gohan thought. Then it was red. He released a ton of red ki! He really bulked up! His horns now bent upwards, and his voice got really deep. And he grew immensely! Gohan had to really look up at him! 'It doesn't change his power level twofold!' Gohan thought. Frieza stopped glowing. "Heh... This is it. Doesn't it bring back those cherished memories?" Frieza asked. "Cherished? Yeah right." Gohan said. 'Definitely NOT.' He thought. *** Back to the Frieza saga... Where Gohan was a young Moe Howard... Second Form Frieza was charging at him! 'Quick... What would dad do in this situation!?' He thought. **** "Bye, Son!" Goku said, having a bag strapped to his back. **** 'I'm beginning to think I have issues.' Gohan thought. Frieza kicked him down, and stomped his head on the ground! *** "I guess I'll have to go Super Saiyan for this one." Gohan said. He just transformed there. No aura flares or anything. "Ah. This time, your hair doesn't even change form. How delightful." Frieza said. "Enough talk. Let's go." Gohan said. Gohan jumped and threw a punch! Frieza flew up to dodge, but Gohan followed him, and the two's arms clashed! Then they both exchanged many blows! Punches, kicks, you name it! Every punch and kick sent a shockwave around the place. Sorbet was struggling to stay in place as he watched the epic fight unfold. Gohan finally punched Frieza in the chest. "TAKE THIS!" Gohan yelled, uppercutting him right in the chin. He went for a follow up but Frieza blocked and they were in the struggle again. *** Instead of going to Canterlot, the group watched from the farther regions of the Foal Mountains. "What a battle. I can see the shockwaves." Shining Armor said. "I hope Gohan can do it." Cadence said. "He will! Just you watch!" Twilight said. "I hope we win... For Equestria's sake!" Celestia said. *** Gohan kicked Frieza away. But, it's as if he teleported back to the fray, and punched Gohan! He was rushed into a plateau. There was an explosion of debris. As it turns out, Frieza was trying to force Gohan further into the thing. Then he unleashed a million blasts on Gohan! A huge pink explosion ensued! Could be seen from a lot of places. "Oh no!" Twilight said. "He's still okay!" Goten said. Frieza laughed. "I'm not even using half my full power in this form." He said. "I can tell." Gohan said in one place of the smoke. "But I'm holding back too." He said in another place. "So you won't see..." He said in another place. "Until you push it." Gohan said behind Frieza. He punched him straight into the ground! His orange shirt had a small rip. Frieza landed safely. He looked up at Gohan and powered up silently. 'Dang. His power's a lot greater.' Gohan thought. "Now, let us truly begin!" Frieza yelled. He charged at Gohan, punching him in the stomach and kicking him away. He then performed a double axe handle on him, sending him down. Gohan landed in some rocks. "Such malice!" Sorbet noted. Gohan made the rubble all disappear. Apparently he has some blood on his forehead now. 'Now this is familiar...' He thought. Frieza laughed. "What will you do now?" He asked. Gohan crossed his arms and powered up. "HA!" He yelled, turning Super Saiyan 2 instantly. "Hmm? This is Super Saiyan 2, huh?" Frieza asked. "Yeah. It is." Gohan said. "Then come at me! I won't be-" Gohan delivered a chop to the side of Frieza's neck, then a kick to the other side, then rammed his head with his head, then blasted him upwards! Frieza broke away from the blast. He charged up a full power energy blast at Gohan, and fired! Gohan didn't even move. BOOM! Big explosion! "He's dead!" Sorbet said. Frieza panted. "Looks like the deed was finally done for this monkey." Frieza said. "What are you talking about?" Gohan asked from inside the smoke. "W-What the...!?" Frieza asked. The smoke died down. "I can tell you're surprised." Gohan said. "But how!? Cell told me your power only doubles in that form?" Frieza said. "I've mastered this form beyond belief, Frieza. It doesn't double my power anymore. I've made it four times as strong as before." Gohan said. (Trunks did it.) *** "He did what!?" Goten asked. "What happened?" Pinkie asked. "He... He's mastered Super Saiyan 2... To the point that it's four times as strong!" Goten said. 'How did he do that so fast!?' He thought. Supreme Kai. "But how!?" Twilight asked. "That's insane!" Rainbow Dash said. *** "I'm impressed. Your brother didn't display such power at my mercy." Frieza said. "He just got the form. And I've been training with some of the strongest in the universe." Gohan said. "Good. It makes me savor my revenge even more!" Frieza said. "Really? I guess it's to knock me off the ladder." Gohan said. "It really is." Frieza said. "I suppose it's about time I reveal to you my final form yet again." Frieza said. The two flew down to the ground. "Whatever happened to the third form?" Gohan asked. Frieza ignored the question and started powering up, making his pink aura flare. 'Uh oh... Super Saiyan 2 isn't going to last long here!' Gohan thought. *** Sunset was still waiting on the steps. The others and their dates already went inside. (Fluttershy and Big Mac, Rarity and Blueblood, Rainbow Dash and Soarin, Applejack and Tenderhoof, Pinkie and Cheese Sandwich, and Twilight and Flash.) (And I don't ship any of them. Prefer them with each other, but whatever.) 'What's taking him so long? It's already been about 45 minutes. Prom's over in two hours.' Sunset thought. She sighed. 'He'll come through that portal eventually.' She thought. Author's Note Gohan - 63,000,000,000 SSJ - 3,150,000,000,000 SSJ2 - 25,200,000,000,000 Frieza (Second Form) - 5,000,000,000,000 (Full Power) - 7,500,000,000,000
Frieza's Revenge Pt. 6"W-What's going on!?" Goten asked. "I think Frieza's transforming again!" Starlight said. "Oh no!" Goten said. "What's happening!?" Twilight asked. "Frieza... He's MUCH stronger!" Goten said. "Then what'll Gohan do!?" Rainbow Dash asked. "I hope Super Saiyan 4 will help..." Pinkie said. "Pinkie." Twilight, Applejack and Rainbow Dash said. "What? He calls it that now." Pinkie said. "He really does." Goten said. "Huh. I wonder what 3 actually looks like then..." Rainbow Dash said. "Gohan has a new Super Saiyan?" Shining Armor asked. "Apparently. He was the giant monkey who rampaged around before turning into a were monkey of sorts." Twilight said. The pink aura died down. Gohan was sweating a bit. Frieza was in his final form... Two percent. He made a huge crater in the ground. So much so that the water poured into it. "You won't have to wait any longer, though. I'm ready for my revenge." Frieza said. "I'm afraid you'll have to wait a bit longer. Man, you're really strong!" Gohan said. "You can finally see the difference between you and I? I am the ruler of a universe. My power level must be exponentially higher than that of your Super Saiyan 2." Frieza said. "Maybe. I'm willing to bet that it's no match for you right now. But..." Gohan said. "But what?" Frieza asked. "I know you have another form." He said. "Yeah. You do. I might as well unleash it now. Haa........!" Gohan said. Gohan started to power up immensely himself. The yellow aura could be seen from far away! "Okay, that's it. Twilight, take us for a closer look!" Rainbow Dash said. "That's a horrible choice!" Twilight said. "Well, to be honest I want to see a bit of that action too." Shining Armor said. "Same here." Applejack said. "Yeah!" Pinkie said. "I'll even put up a forcefield." Shining Armor said. "With me too, right?" Cadence asked. "Sure. Makes it even stronger." Shining Armor said. "I suppose we could go in closer." Celestia said. "Ugh. Fine." Twilight said. *** "HAAAAAAAA!" Gohan yelled. A yellow sphere enveloped him. From the inside, he changed. Outside were many lightning sparks. "HRAGH!" Gohan yelled as he broke the sphere into a million pieces. He was changed. A Super Saiyan 4! "This. Is Super Saiyan 4." Gohan said. "Oh. You've really embraced your monkey heritage, haven't you? I would've enjoyed the yellow hair, but black hair will look just as good on my wall." Frieza said. "Heh. You're no pushover. But it's really bad that you're rotten to the core." Gohan said. "You have the same vocabulary as your father." Frieza said. "But, I'm much smarter than him. Smarter to know that you're hiding another secret." Gohan said. "Oh, but you'll see that if it has to happen. Now..." Frieza said, getting into his battle pose. Which was reenacting Jesus dying on the cross with his hands downward. "This time, I'll really end it. I won't make the same mistake my father made!" Gohan said. "You have. Challenging me." Frieza said. The two stared at each other. The Frieza flew to the ground which Gohan stood. Then the two charged at each other! They grabbed each other's hands and cracked the ground beneath them. They were having a bit of a pushing war with their flared auras. Made another crater in the ground. Small in comparison to Frieza's, but hey! "Man, you could just feel the hate in the air." Rainbow Dash said. They were nearby, but in two barriers. "The energy's huge." Goten said. Gohan finally ended it by kneeing Frieza in the gut. He kicked him up to the sky! Frieza recovered. "You insolent...!" He yelled before he flew back down at Gohan. Gohan flew straight up at him. The two clashed in mid air, exchanging barrages of punches and kicks. It finally ended with Frieza upper cutting Gohan in the chin. Frieza teleported behind him and elbowed him in the back! Then he kneed him and grabbed his hair! He threw a punch at his face and... He wasn't even fazed. Gohan... Smiled? "Is that your best?" He asked. "What!?" Frieza asked. "Your attacks are like tiny feathers. They're weak." Gohan said, grabbing Frieza's wrist. He crushed it. "Ah!" Frieza yelped. "I know you're holding back on me, but you should know well that I'm not!" Gohan yelled, punching down on Frieza, sending him to the ground. Frieza landed, making the ground crumble. "So, you really want me to try?" He asked. "Do I!" Gohan asked. "Fine then." Frieza said, getting into his pose. Thunder came down from the sky on him. He powered up from it. "Half power. I think it works." Frieza said. "Then why don't you come at me with it?" Gohan asked. Frieza grunted. "I will torture you when I wish to do so!" He yelled. Veins were popping out of his head. "You and your father make me want to puke! Prepare to die slowly and painfully, Son Gohan!" He yelled. Gohan got serious now. "Let's go!" He yelled. The two flew at each other, body slamming everywhere in the sky. And punching and kicking, I guess. The shockwaves could literally be seen! "I can barely follow their movements!" Goten said. "No way, we can't even see it!" Twilight said. Gohan blocked a punch from Frieza and punched him right in the gut! Frieza held a blast towards Gohan. "Think quickly!" He yelled. Gohan expected him to throw it at him. But no. Frieza threw it down at his friends! 'Oh no!' He thought. "Oh no." Goten said. "I SAID THIS WAS A BAD IDEA!" Twilight said. Gohan performed Instant Transmission, and kicked the blast away! "That's low of you, Frieza!" Gohan yelled. "Now that I see it up close... He looks more like an overgrown monkey." Shining Armor said. "You said what we're all thinking, pal." Rainbow Dash said. "Low? My revenge upon you isn't just your death. It's all the torture you will suffer before your gruesome death! Killing your friends would be the icing on the cake." Frieza said. "And that's what makes you so low. You lack compassion and sympathy. You don't care about the pain you put on others until you really feel it. And even then, you don't learn from your mistakes!" Gohan yelled. "YEARGH!" Frieza yelled as he flew at Gohan. Gohan followed suit. "FRIEZA!" He yelled. The two clashed heads. Literally. They were pushing each other back and forth with it. But Frieza moved a bit and grabbed Gohan's foot. He swung him around endlessly! Gohan grabbed his tail to stop it all! Frieza and Gohan each charged a blast in their open hands and fired! It separated the two, and sent ki flying everywhere! The barrier protected the bystanders. Gohan and Frieza were clashing again. Gohan threw multiple kicks, but then Frieza threw a heavy kick of his own, which Gohan narrowly dodged by bending backwards. He kicked Frieza upward with two legs! He followed suit, ready to extend the combination. But Frieza recovered quicker than he thought, and tried to claw for his vital areas. Heart, throat, arms, veins. And one for the eyes. Gohan dodged all but one. He caught Frieza's hand on the eyes! "Going after my eyes? Really?" He asked. "Of course. This is my revenge, and I will enact it as I please!" Frieza yelled, kicking Gohan away. Gohan blocked the next incoming punch with his arm. He punched Frieza away. "I don't get it! Half power and you still manage to overpower me!" Frieza yelled. Gohan grinned. "I haven't been sitting around like I thought I would, Frieza. I've been training harder than ever before." He said. "Following your father's idiotic and barbaric ways won't help you against me!" Frieza said, throwing a ki blast at Gohan. Gohan deflected it and punched Frieza in the stomach! Gohan let Frieza move away in time. "You're not really at half power, are you?" Gohan asked. "You knew, huh?" Frieza asked. "Why don't you show me 100%?" Gohan asked. "I see. I suppose I'll have to really go full power against you to ensure maximum suffering." Frieza said. He grunted loudly, and instantly buffed up immensely. Gohan didn't expect that! "Surprised? It turns out I was really using twenty percent." Frieza said. 'He wasn't using even forty percent!?' He thought. Gohan made his aura flare, going full power. "Is Gohan really going full power!?" Twilight asked. "Sensing their energy makes my head hurt!" Goten said. *** Sunset sighed. 'An hour and fifteen minutes left... Come on! Where is he!?' She thought. "So, he hasn't even shown up yet?" A voice came from behind. Rainbow Dash. And the other girls. "No. But I know he'll be here soon." Sunset said. "I don't know about that, sugarcube. Maybe he's off having a blast doing something else." Applejack joked. "He wouldn't!" Sunset defended. "I'm joking." Applejack said. "Why are you guys here anyway?" Sunset asked. "The party's ending in about an hour. They all left for some guys' night out." Rainbow Dash said. "And someone asked Twilight to be his girlfriend~!" Pinkie said. "Oh, really? What's the verdict?" Sunset asked. "Can't say." Twilight said. "Ugh." Everyone said. "Anyway, maybe you should check on Gohan?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Why?" Sunset asked. "Just a hunch." Rainbow Dash said. "If he's taking this long... Then I would be a little scared that he's not okay." Fluttershy said. She did have a point there... "Hm..." Sunset said. *** "Alright, let's do this, Frieza!" Gohan yelled. Author's Note Can't give Frieza's final form yet. Ruins the next one.
Frieza's Revenge Pt. 7 (Gohan's Final Battle?)'I really underestimated Frieza this time.' Gohan thought. Gohan charged at Frieza! He threw a punch, but Frieza caught it and punched him in the gut! He even punched him in the cheek away. Straight into a mountain! Big crashes! Frieza wasn't done there! He performed many Death Beams, or finger blasts on him! And then there was a big explosion! "Gohan's okay, right?" Twilight asked. Gohan teleported behind Frieza and performed a double axe handle on him from behind. "That answers the question." Luna said. Straight into the water! Frieza burst out of the water! He flew right at Gohan to throw a punch! Gohan threw his leg up to block that! Then he blocked another punch with his arm, but he was kicked down to the ground by Frieza. Gohan used the ground to jump back up at him! The two charged at each other again! They both grabbed each other's hands. But Frieza acted better. He turned Gohan upside down and elbowed him in the stomach. He coughed. Gohan responded with a knee to the face! Then Frieza struck back with a punch. Then Gohan struck back! Then Frieza, Gohan, Fr- It was a barrage of fists and kicks. Frieza kicked Gohan away, who in turn flew away so Frieza would chase. The two landed inside a mountain's peak, and then Gohan threw a punch. Frieza dodged, and dodged two more. He punched Gohan right in the face, but Gohan responded by punching back. Frieza elbowed him in the stomach and punched him in the face! Gohan grabbed his fist and spun him around. He threw him into rocks, off the mountain. Gohan chased, flying straight after Frieza. The two started exchanging blows everywhere! The shockwaves could be seen... The terrain was getting ruined because of it! Gohan roared before he unleashed his ultimate combo... Well, not ultimate, but- You get it. "ATATATATATA...!" Gohan screamed as he pummeled Frieza near endlessly. He ended it by kicking Frieza away, who in turn flew back and body slammed Gohan. Frieza then unleashed a devastating blast. It put a huge line hole in the terrain! Luckily, it narrowly missed the group... But Gohan was caught in the midst of it. Gohan managed to stay standing after such a hit! "Are you winded already? I'm just getting started." Frieza said. 'I have to wait until his 100% gives off. Then, he'll be weak enough for me to handle. He's really tough!' Gohan thought. He... Smiled? "Do you really enjoy being a punching bag?" Frieza asked. "No. But a fight really gets me pumped. This one in particular has to the hardest one yet." Gohan said. Frieza flew at Gohan, who in turned flew back for some distance. He blocked a punch by Frieza, but then Frieza kicked him faster than he could block or attack. Gohan and Frieza were clashing with all sorts of fists and kicks. "It appears he... Is struggling!" Luna said. "H-How!?" Twilight asked. "Don't worry!" Goten said. "Why do you say that? He'll die!" Starlight said. "He has an ace up his sleeve. A real good one, too." Goten said. "I really hope he uses it soon." Twilight said. "It's like watching two gods fight..." Applejack said. Gohan was pretty tired out from the endless movement. Frieza took advantage of it and kicked him right into the side of the mountain! Gohan panted as he got the rubble off himself. Frieza chuckled. "I know what you're doing, and trust me, it won't work." He said. "What?" Gohan asked. "You're trying to get me to use up my energy at 100% like your father did. But, I came prepared. I can remain in this form without losing any stamina!" Frieza said. "What!?" Gohan asked. 'Now that plan was thrown out the window!' He thought. "He was trying to deteriorate Frieza's stamina?" Twilight asked. "He's killing himself faster than Frieza!" Rainbow Dash said. "It appears that before, Frieza had very little stamina in that sustained form. But... Now, he..." Luna said. "-Has complete mastery of it." Celestia said. "So, what do you plan to do about this? You seem to be at an impasse." Frieza said. Gohan stood up. "I'll never give up!" He said, making his aura flare. "I'll beat you somehow... I have two ways." Gohan said. "Oh really. There's nothing you could do to actually defeat me." Frieza said. "There is. You'll see, Frieza!" Gohan said. Sorbet spectated. "Yes... He's so close!" Sorbet said. Gohan jumped from the mountain, making it crack. He wound up a fist. "TAKE THIS!" *** "Ah, screw it. I'll just go in. He's taking way too long!" Sunset said, marching into the portal. "What could he be doing...?" Rarity asked. "Fighting a galactic tyrant that was magically brought back to life who trained for four months before reaching the other world and wants revenge on Gohan's daddy so he'll torture them?" Pinkie sputtered. "Yeah, I seriously doubt that." Rainbow Dash said. *** Sunset was a pony again. "Oh old body, I've missed you so!" Sunset said to herself. 'So, is this Princess Twilight's castle?' She thought, looking around. "Better find Gohan." She said. 'Wow. I feel like I ponied up. I still have a ton of power in this.' She thought. Then she heard weird sounds from outside. Sunset managed to find her way to a balcony before seeing many shockwaves around Canterlot. "What the heck!? Is that Gohan?" She asked. "Sunset Shimmer?" Spike asked. "What are you doing here?" He asked. "Spike? Sorry, I wanted to see where Gohan was since he agreed to go to the prom with me." Sunset said. "Oh. I think he's fighting an alien guy right now. I can't nap because of it!" Spike said. "See you later, then." Sunset said, flying away...? "Did... Did she just fly?" Spike asked. *** Gohan punched Frieza, leaving a mark. Compared to the many marks he has... Oh boy. He finally set up his utimate attack. He kicked Frieza up into the sky and chase after him. He wound up his fist. "DRAGON FIST!" He screamed, throwing the fist. An explosion ensued! From it, emerged a giant, golden dragon! "Amazing!" Celestia said. "Did Gohan just turn into a dragon!?" Applejack asked. "He did!?" Twilight asked. "IT'S OVER, FRIEZA!" Gohan screamed. The Dragon was really close to Frieza and... He dodged. Gohan missed. He didn't give up! He turned around, and flew at Frieza then! Dodged. This repeated many times. 'He's using the dragon fist?' Sunset thought as she landed gently. She saw the two. Frieza and the dragon that just turned back into Gohan. 'Dang it... I missed!' He thought. "Pitiful. You have one more ace up your sleeve, hm?" Frieza asked. "I do, but... I wasn't counting on this to be it." Gohan said. Frieza flew at the exhausted Gohan and punched him in the stomach! He grabbed his foot and hurled him at the group! He made a crater in the ground. "Gohan!" They all called. Even Sunset Shimmer. Sorbet was in the rocks, hidden from Sunset... 'I can take one of them out!' He thought, aiming his pea shooter at Sunset. Sunset felt Sorbet's presence and looked to her side. She narrowly dodged a deadly blast! "Uh oh..." Sorbet said. "You little...! Take this!" Sunset said, charging up yellow ki and unleashing it on Sorbet. He screamed while he died. Frieza turned around. "Sorbet is dead now. Hmph." He said. "Gohan!" Goten said from inside the barrier. Gohan got himself up. 'Well... I really don't want to die now. But, I guess there's no other option now... Frieza will rule the universe if I don't do this.' He thought. "Gohan! Here's a senzu!" Twilight said, holding a bean with her magic. "There's no need Twilight. I've already made up my mind." Gohan said. "Made up your mind? What do you mean?" Starlight asked. "...Goten, take good care of Equestria for me, okay?" Gohan asked. "W-What? Why are you saying that?" Goten asked. "Yeah, what gives?" Rainbow Dash asked. Gohan cried manly tears and smiled. "I love you all." He said before putting two fingers to his forehead and teleporting. "Wait. What does he mean!?" Goten asked, jumping out of the barrier. Gohan appeared behind Frieza and put him in a full nelson! "What the- What are you doing you insolent fool!?" Frieza asked. He even wrapped his legs around Frieza. "What the heck is Gohan doing? He just has him in a full nelson." Sunset said. "I got you now. You can't attack me now!" Gohan said. "You know you can't attack either, right?" Frieza asked, trying to get out. Gohan chuckled. "Unless I'm willing to die with you." He said. "Wait, what!?" Frieza asked. "WHAT!?" Goten asked. "Why do you bother persisting? You know this just makes your suffering even longer!" Frieza said. "I won't let you harm any more creatures in the universe... Not while I'm around!" Gohan said. "What are you even going to do!?" Frieza asked. Gohan grinned. "Self destruct." He said. "What!? You'll die too!" Frieza said. "I've already been to hell, Frieza. Well, I haven't died yet, but you get it. I'm not much of a fan of dying, but if it's the only way, I'm taking it!" Gohan said, starting to glow blue. "You wouldn't!" Frieza yelled. "Try me." Gohan said. "Let go of me you disgusting monkey!" Frieza yelled, flying all over the place. "What's Gohan doing!?" Twilight asked. "Don't do it, GOHAN!" Goten yelled. "Do what!?" Shining Armor said. "Self destruct!" Goten said. "He's DOING WHAT!?" Sunset asked. She was like... fifty feet away. "Sunset Shimmer!?" Twilight asked. "You fool!" Frieza said. "Like I said, hell's a fate we both have." Gohan said, glowing even brighter. Goten started to cry. "N-No... NOO!" Frieza yelled. "HAAAAAAAAAA!" Gohan screamed as he overflowed his energy. The result was a gigantic blue explosion! "GOHAAAAAAAN!" Goten screamed. Everyone looked in shock as they witnessed Gohan... Killing himself... For the greater good... The diameter of the blast was so huge, it got really close to the barrier! But it stopped there. It could be seen from all over Equestria. The ponies and Saiyan nearby shed tears. Goten was wailing. Sunset couldn't believe it. 'It was that bad... That he had to sacrifice himself...?' She thought. The parts of the Mane 6 were all just shocked. They all cried. In fact, everyone in that bubble all cried. They just lost a best friend. A brother. A crush? And a hero. The explosion finally died down. The biggest crater in all of Equestria could be seen with tons of smoke inside. Sunset walked to the edge of the site... 'Why... Why did you have to leave so soon...?' She thought as she wiped her tears. "Goha-a-a-a-an...!" Goten cried. "Son Gohan actually gave his life for Equestria...?" Celestia asked. "I... I can't believe it..." Rainbow Dash said. Sunset noticed something... "Wait... What's that?" She asked, pointing at... Was it Gohan? Was it Frieza? The world may never know... Or, you, actually. Author's Note Ooh... Did Gohan die? I think so. I mean, lets inspect the body. Anyway, power level...? Frieza (100%) - 320,000,000,000,000,000 Frieza (Injured) - Oh fuck, I ruined it.
Miraculous Failures (Gohan x Sunset)"Gohan!?" Goten asked. Gohan was in the hole...? How? How is he still alive? He didn't have any shirt whatsoever. Goten smiled. "He's alive! He's alive!" He yelled as he jumped down the hole. "Gohan's alive?" Twilight asked as the barrier died down. Gohan coughed. "I guess... I lucked out.... This time..." He said with a weak grin. He was really out of breath. "He's alive!" Sunset said, jumping down into the hole. Goten got to his side, and grabbed a senzu from his belt. Not the pouch. "Here! Take it!" He said. "Why does this one smell weird...?" Gohan asked. He ate of it and... "Phew! I can't believe that happened." Gohan said, standing up. Goten punched him in the arm. "Don't do that ever again!" He yelled. "I'm sorry, I know. It was pretty mean of me. I didn't think there was any other way to beat Frieza." Gohan said. "I didn't want to lose you!" Goten yelled. Sunset Shimmer finally came to them. "Sunset? What's wrong? Wait- How much time did I take!?" Gohan asked. "We have less than an hour left." Sunset said. "Oh crapbaskets! We gotta go then!" Gohan said. "Wait, what? You just tried to kill yourself to save everyone, and yet your first concern is taking me to the prom?" Sunset asked. "I said I would go!" Gohan said. 'I don't think I'll ever understand how he compares these things...' Sunset thought. "Don't worry about it." She said. "Are you sure?" Gohan asked. Sunset nodded. Then, the others started to come down. "Sunset Shimmer! What are you doing here?" Twilight asked. Then she remembered. "Oh. Right." She said. "What?" Pinkie asked. "It's nothing." Twilight said. "Are you alright?" Celestia asked. "Yep! Senzu bean!" Gohan said, smashing his chest with his fist a few times. "We thought you were a real goner!" Rainbow Dash said. "I still can't believe I lucked out..." Gohan said. "We can't believe you actually tried that." Cadence said. "Shows that he really cares." Shining Armor said. "Aw." Everyone said. Gohan rubbed the back of his head and blushed a bit. "Sunset Shimmer..." Celestia said. "Princess Celestia." Sunset said. "It's been too long. You have already surpassed me in raw power." Celestia said with a smile. "What!?" Everyone but Gohan asked. "H-How can you tell!?" Sunset asked. "Even I can see this, Sunset Shimmer." Luna said. "But how?" Twilight asked. "Oh. Right. I've been giving her some training. I guess it really paid off!" Gohan said. "It really did! I know I'm in training, but she's already stronger than the princess!" Rainbow Dash said. "Wow..." Sunset said. "You've grown in strength and personality, Sunset Shimmer. I'm proud." Celestia said. "Wow..." Sunset said. "Same here, Sunset. You and Starlight are the best students ever!" Twilight said. "That's great!" Gohan said. "The battle is finally over..." Luna said. "And I have a dance to get to." Gohan said, putting two fingers to his forehead. "Grab on." He said to Sunset, holding a hand out. Sunset put her hoof in his hand. "What are you talking about?" Starlight asked. "We have to get to a dance. Bye!" Gohan said, popping out of reality with Sunset. "I still don't get how he does that." Twilight said. *** The Humane 6 were just hanging around. Waiting for the two to come back. "There's, like, 40 minutes before prom is over." Pinkie said. "Is Gohan even coming back? He's taking forever." Rainbow Dash said. Then two people emerged from the portal. "You're finally ba-" Applejack said before noticing all the gunk and crud on Gohan. And a loss of his shirt. "Sorry I took so long. He was really strong." He said. "I saw the end, at least." Sunset said. "And I should do this..." Gohan said, placing a hand on his chest. A flash of light, and then he had a suit. "There we go." He said. "You don't have a whole lot of time." Applejack said. "I know. I had a real tough time beating him..." Gohan said. "It was a true near death experience." Sunset said. "What happened?" Fluttershy asked. "Frieza was back, stronger than ever, and it seemed like Super Saiyan 4 couldn't beat him..." Gohan said. "Then... How did you beat him?" Twilight asked. Gohan and Sunset looked at each other. "Well... I don't really want to talk about it." Gohan said. "Why not? Did you use the dragon fist?" Rainbow Dash asked. "That missed." Gohan said. "Then how?" Twilight asked. "We'll tell you another time..." Sunset said. "Then get in there and dance already!" Pinkie yelled, throwing Sunset into the door. "Oops." Pinkie said. Sunset was sitting on the floor. "Ugh... Why'd you do that!?" She asked. Gohan gave Sunset a hand. "Are you okay?" He asked. "Yeah, I'm okay." Sunset said, brushing herself off. Gohan opened the door and gestured for her to enter. "After you." He said. "Someone's a gentleman tonight. Thank you." Sunset said, entering. Gohan followed suit. Rainbow Dash whistled for Gohan. Applejack smacked her in the back of the head. "Hey! What was that for!?" Rainbow Dash asked. The inside was the Fall Formal all over again. But with half the students since it's late. Sunset held Gohan's hand in an attempt to show affection. 'Well... That part's done for me.' He thought. The two walked over to the snacks and little amount of punch left table. "Do you want some juice? Or a snack?" Gohan asked. "Hm... Sure. Some punch." Sunset said. Gohan grabbed a cup and the ladle. He poured it into the cup without accidentally smashing it to pieces. You have no idea how many cups he went through to finally master that. He handed it to her. "Here." He said. "Thank you." Sunset said. Then the two just stood there. The DJ, or just Vinyl Scratch put on some dubstep or something. 'What did Rarity say again...? Oh right.' Gohan thought. Gohan did a little bow. "Uh... May I have this dance?" He asked, holding his hand out. Sunset giggled a bit. "You may." She said. The dance floor was just people doing that boring one-two hands on hips and neck shit. And the two were doing just that. 'This is nice.' Gohan thought. 'This is boring.' Sunset thought. "Hey, do you want to spice things up a bit?" Sunset asked. "W-What do you mean?" Gohan asked, genuinely confused. Sunset broke the slow dance and grabbed his hand. She threw him to the side, then pulled him back in, spinning him around once and grabbing the other hand. The two were very close to each other. "What just happened...?" Gohan asked. "A better way of dancing. Come on!" Sunset said. It's as if she was the man for a second. Gohan was still confused, but he tagged along. ...Kinda. He lifted Sunset up to the sky on her stomach. "What are you doing!?" Sunset asked. "For the record, I have no idea what I'm doing!" Gohan said before he started jumping all over the place. 'Might as well trust him... It's not like he'll hurt me.' Sunset thought. She made a pose, as if she were a flying superhero. I mean, she always did that, but whatever. Everyone looked at them. Mainly because you don't see that everyday since Pinkie and Rainbow Dash stopped showing it off. They also cleared the floor for the two. Gohan finally jumped high up to a yellow light, and slowly tossed Sunset back to the ground, giving her ki while doing it. I dunno, he had to improvise. He aimed his palm at her. The transition of ki was green, and it was like they were connected. It's like the Broly movie. She slowly reached the ground, completely confused as to what the hell just happened. Gohan stopped giving ki, and slowly landed about 10 feet away. People actually clapped for that weird shit. 'Well... It's good!' Sunset thought. 'I don't even know why I did that.' Gohan thought. The people finally returned to the dance floor. And the two walked up to each other. "What did you just do?" Sunset asked. "I don't even know why I did it." Gohan said. "Whatever it was, it was awesome." Sunset said. "It- What?" Gohan asked. "It's like you were giving me your energy in some sort of interpretative dance." Sunset said. "I did give you my energy. I don't know, I improvised." Gohan said. "Well, it was good. You're the best when it comes to acting fast." Sunset said. 'Well... I guess that's a point.' Gohan thought. "I thought it was random." He said. "I think I'm done dancing now..." Sunset said. "Okay." Gohan said, holding her hand. She blushed a bit. "Where do we go now?" He asked. "I guess the punch again... I left my cup there." Sunset said. The two were back at that table. And the rest of the Humane 7 were coming in. "Look at you! Dancing all over the place!" Rainbow Dash said. "I improvised, I'm not a dancer!" Gohan retorted. "It was quite impressive." Rarity said. "See? It's good!" Sunset said. "I... How...?" Gohan asked. "Don't doubt yourself." Sunset said. "The best thing about is your confidence, Gohan." She added. "I'm overconfident if you ask me..." Gohan muttered. "What?" Sunset asked. "Nothing." Gohan said. "Students!" Celestia said from the stage. Everyone was listening to her. "The prom will be ending very soon. I would like to thank you all for coming! It's been an eventful night, and it's coming to a close. I hope to see you all on Monday for the last day of school!" Celestia said. The students all cheered. "More free time!" Gohan said. "And what are you gonna do with that free time?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Read, study, train, eat, practice... Yeah that's pretty much it." Gohan said, counting all that in his fingers. Five in total. "What about you guys?" He asked. "Nap, do more training, and maybe some other stuff." Rainbow Dash said. "I think we all are gonna do more training. But we're going to Camp Everfree before that." Applejack said. "I can only imagine all the 'scary' parts of it." Gohan said. "Same here." Sunset said. "I think we should all head home now." Twilight said. "It is late." Rarity said. "Oh. I came way too late today... Sorry again." Gohan said. "Don't apologize. I can't blame you." Sunset said. "I know it was a real tussle and all but how did the fight end!?" Pinkie asked. "I really don't want to go into detail." Gohan said. "Come on!" Twilight said. "No." Gohan said. "I really don't think he wants to talk about it." Sunset said. "It's sensitive, okay?" Gohan asked. "Fine." Rainbow Dash said. The group walked outside. "Well, sorry again, Sunset. I really wish Frieza hadn't came." Gohan said. "Don't worry about it!" Sunset said. "Bye!" Pinkie said, walking away. "Bye." The rest all said, leaving. Well, Sunset wasn't moving. Gohan was about to enter the portal. "Wait, Gohan." Sunset said. Gohan was less than a smidgimeter to the portal. He looked over his shoulder. "Yes?" He asked. "I... I need to talk to you about something." Sunset said. "Oh. Uh... What's up?" Gohan asked, stepping away from the portal. Sunset sat down on the steps. "Can you sit down with me for this?" She asked. "Uh... Sure thing." Gohan said, sitting down next to her. "So... I have a bit of a problem." Sunset said. "What's wrong?" Gohan asked. "Before we start, I just want to say, I really think you're thoughtful, and I'm touched by everything you've done tonight." Sunset said. "Uh... Okay. Thank you." Gohan said. She looked at the ground. "Seeing you self destruct was painful... But at the same time it made me admire you more for your bravery and care. You are the most selfless person I know." She said. Gohan nodded. "I really like hanging around you. Even after all this time, you never cease to amaze me and keep me happy." Sunset said. Gohan nodded. "And... Well... I think I really... Um... L-Like you..." Sunset said nervously. Gohan was pretty confused. 'I thought we already liked each other! We're friends!' He thought. "Do you understand?" Sunset asked, finally looking at Gohan. Gohan shook his head. "Oh. Sorry... I probably should've said something else... I mean, I really like you. I like that you're kind, strong and compassionate. And... I think I've developed feelings for you..." Sunset poured again. Still... "I still don't understand." Gohan said. Sunset was getting a little annoyed. But it was overshadowed by nervousness. She poured her heart out twice, but he still didn't understand. "I-I don't... I really... And... D-I..." Sunset kept repeating nervously. "Sunset? Are you okay?" Gohan asked. He put a hand to her forehead. "Do you have a fever or something? Doesn't feel like it." He said. "Look, I'm really trying hard to find the right words." Sunset said. "Sorry. Take all the time you need." Gohan said, taking his hand away. Sunset thought carefully. 'You know what? Screw it.' She thought. "Okay, I'll just say it. I'm in love with you, Gohan." Sunset said. That was... Very unexpected. "Y-You're what...?" Gohan asked. Sunset decided to go a step further. She lunged forward, grabbing his shirt and pulling him in for a kiss. Gohan's eyes widened and his pupils became shockingly tiny. 'She's WHAAAAAAAAT!?' He thought. Sunset blushed deeply. Gohan had a light blush. But he was shocked beyond belief. The kiss was about a minute. Sunset finally parted, and let go of his shirt. Gohan was still really surprised and shocked by Sunset. "I'm sorry... Do you understand?" Sunset asked. "I do, but... Why did you put your mouth up against mine?" Gohan asked. "...You don't know what a kiss is either?" Sunset asked. "Wait, that's what a kiss is? Oh." Gohan said. Sunset sighed in relief. 'He knows, at least.' She thought. "So... Um... What do you think?" Sunset asked. Gohan put a hand to his chin. Deep in thought. 'Welp... I was right. I thought I was wrong, but I was right. I really thought I was wrong... Oh well. I still have to give her some sort of answer. But do I really love her back? Well, she's kind, learns her lessons, strong willed, and overall very compassionate. Also, I don't know why, but I find her angry side to be pretty cu- Wait, what?' He thought. Now that he was actually thinking about it... "I... I haven't really thought of love before... Nor have I ever considered it. Ever." Gohan said. Sunset... Felt her heart break into a million tiny pieces. She frowned a bit... "But..." Gohan said, holding Sunset's hand. "That doesn't mean I'm not willing to try." He said with a smile. Well, that just changed Sunset's mood. "Y-You mean...!?" She asked. Gohan nodded. Sunset pulled Gohan in for a big hug. "Yay!" She said. Gohan hugged back. 'This is new...' He thought. "But..." Sunset said, breaking the hug. "I hope you're prepared, because I can be overly affectionate and easily aggravated at times." She said. "I can look at you and say I can look past your faults." Gohan said. "And I hope you're prepared, because I am totally clueless when it comes to this stuff." He said. "I've noticed..." Sunset said, before giggling. "And I am in a constant juggle of overconfidence and doubts about myself." Gohan added. "Well, I can say that I can look past your faults too." Sunset said. "Um... C-Can we kiss again?" Gohan asked. "You really like it?" Sunset asked. Gohan nodded. Sunset smirked before she dove in for another kiss. Gohan wasn't sure how it worked, but he still liked it. He closed his eyes along with her. Then, it broke again. "So... We're boyfriend and girlfriend now?" Sunset asked. "Sure... That sounds nice. Um... I'm going home now..." Gohan said, standing up. "See you on Monday..." Sunset said. "Yeah... Heheh." Gohan said, walking into the portal. ... "Yeah!" Sunset cheered, jumping up and throwing a fist up. *** Gohan came through the portal to see a very, very eager Twilight. "So, how was it...!?" She asked with a huge, wide grin. "I have to say, I loved it." Gohan said. "Did Sunset tell you!?" Twilight asked. "That she really likes me? Yeah." Gohan said. "And did you say yes!?" Twilight asked. Gohan blushed and nodded. "Finally! It's been too long, dang it!" Twilight said. "Wait, you knew?" Gohan asked. "She wrote to me about it!" Twilight said. "Oh... Okay." Gohan said. "I'm so happy for you two!" Twilight said. "Good. Uh... I'm going home to tell Goten." Gohan said. "Okay. Bye!" Twilight said. And that concludes that. The two miraculous failures. Both contributed to the ship. Author's Note I just woke up today and thought: "Holy shit! I'm gonna be a tumor today! I won't post in 15 years again!" Anyway, I tried doing the ship. Last time I tried shipping two people I fucked it up. Too much love and countless other things. I can only hope I don't fuck this one up. Wait... But what if I already did!? Damn it! Anyway I drew a picture for the ship. https://kuraekakashi.deviantart.com/art/Gohan-x-Sunset-Shimmer-739569679?ga_submit_new=10%3A1523251881 It's shit, but I tried. It's the best I could do. Also the heights are wrong so they're in the air.
Equestria Girls: Legend of Everfree"I think she's having a nightmare." Gohan said. Everyone was on the bus to Camp Everfree. Except Goten, since he's not in the same grade. So he's stuck at home like: http://78.media.tumblr.com/1911a833afbc6144dd975c16bfecab50/tumblr_inline_n4ejg5jRQ81qzj8pu.jpg The seating is as follows... Twilight, Pinkie and Spike in one, Applejack and Rainbow Dash in another, Rarity and Fluttershy in another, and Gohan and Sunset in another. Gohan was allowed to not wear the camp shirt. So he didn't wear the shirt. "No...! No!" Twilight said in her sleep. "STOP!" She screamed. "We can't stop, silly!" Pinkie said. "What the...?" Twilight asked in her sleep. She was dreaming about Midnight Sparkle. Hopefully she won't be back, amirite? "This never happened before... Has it? Does she usually get night terrors?" Gohan asked. "A few times." Spike said. "Wake up, Twilight!" Spike yelled. She snapped awake. "Hey, are you okay?" Sunset asked. "I'm fine...! Just a bit of a nightmare, that's all..." Twilight said. "What was it about?" Gohan asked. "It doesn't matter..." Twilight said. Sunset was about to press further, but- "We are gonna have so much fun! We're gonna roast marshmallows and eat marshmallows and sleep on marshmallow pillows!" Pinkie said. "That sounds fun." Gohan said. "Yeah, probably not gonna happen." Rainbow Dash said. "Maybe YOU'RE not..." Pinkie said, hugging a bag of marshmallows. "Ooh, can I have a pillow?" Gohan asked. "Sure!" Pinkie said. 'Okay, Twilight had something worse than a nightmare.' Sunset thought. "Really wish Goten could've come." Gohan said. "You two are the inseparable brothers." Sunset said. "Why?" Pinkie asked. "I mean, he really wanted to go, and we really wanted to have a fishing competition." Gohan said. "But you didn't bring anything." Rainbow Dash said. "Well, I brought these." Gohan said, patting the pouch of senzu beans. "Hopefully we won't need them." He added. "Attention, students." Celestia said. "We're almost there. But before we arrive, we just wanted to say how proud we are of you for raising enough money to go on this class field trip." She said. "When we were your age, we made some of our favorite memories in these woods, and we're sure you will, too." Luna said. "When I was four, I lived alone in the woods for a year. Those aren't my favorite memories." Gohan whispered to Sunset. *** "What am I gonna do? I'm hungry and cold... I sure wish I had some pork dumplings..." Gohan said. He was four, wearing a tank top and green pants. Then he heard giant footsteps nearby. *** He was being chased by a goddamn dinosaur on the first day. *** Sunset giggled. "Now, who's excited for Camp Everfree!?" Celestia asked, throwing a fist up. Pretty much every student cheered. "Oh wait, we just hit traffic." Celestia said. The students all "Aww!"ed. *** The students got closer to Camp Everfree. Sunset was hugging Gohan's arm, which still confused him. And she fell asleep on it. But that's the not weird thing, the weird thing was that he felt something strange in the forest. 'That's odd... Where did this power come from?' He thought. 'Eh, it's nothing to worry about. Or... Is it? Last time I underestimated something it was bad for me. Eh, I'll take that bet. Only other worldly creatures have been a real nuisance.' He thought. *** Well, Camp Everfree. The students were grabbing their luggage from the bus. Gohan... didn't bring anything. He didn't need to. "Isn't Camp Everfree just beautiful? I can't wait until we have our first nature walk." Fluttershy said. "I definitely wanna go on one of those." Spike said. "You wanna see all the adorable woodland creatures, too?" Fluttershy asked. "Yeah! Specifically squirrels. More specifically, so I can chase 'em!" Spike said, barking. "I can't wait until we go fishing!" Gohan said. "I hope they have Paozu tuna here!" He added. "Or something similar, at least." He ended. "Again, you didn't bring a fishing rod, though." Rainbow Dash said. "Who says I needed that? I'm gonna catch it with my hands!" Gohan said, clenching his fists a few times. "Typical." Sunset said before giggling. "That's how the Goku family always did it. I mean, I was pounding the tuna when I was five." Gohan said. Then the Humane 7 all looked at him. "What? Without my dad, my mother needed someone to do it." He said. Rainbow Dash started laughing, then after five seconds she was done. "Anyway... I'm just lookin' forward to roughin' it. I'm gonna make my own shelter, forage for food..." Applejack said. "Uh, you know they provide us with food and tents, right?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Yup! Still gonna forage though." Applejack said. "You probably should because Gohan might devour the food supply." Sunset said. Everyone laughed. "Ha... I'm just after some R&R. The past two years has all been a bit too much for my tastes." Rarity said. "I'll say! We meet a superpowered alien without even realizing it, who changes his hair color to power up, fought three evil sirens who tried to hypnotize everybody with their singing, one ridiculously competitive rival school, then the alien's brother comes along, one giant monster that took a while to beat, with the same four foot tall alien somehow turning into a were monkey that also exploded into a gigantic dragon bigger and a gazillion times longer than the monster and fought two demon friends!" Pinkie sputtered. Then she realized who was there. "Uh, no offense." Pinkie said. "None taken." Sunset said. She turned to Twilight. "You'll get used to it." She said. "None taken as well." Gohan said. "Well, Canterlot High has become a regular magic magnet. Gonna be nice gettin' away to a place where we don't have to worry about that kinda stuff." Applejack said. "Plus, we have the extra protection just in case it so happens that we get attacked by magical creatures here." Rarity said. "Who don't even use magic." Twilight said. "It's like steroids with Gohan." Rainbow Dash said. "You guys have to be the strongest on this planet under me and Goten. You should be able to defend yourselves if necessary." Gohan said. Flash Sentry brought Twilight her bag. "Here you go, Twilight." He said. "Thank you, Flash!" Twilight said. "You're welcome!" He said, walking away. "See you around!" Twilight said. Sunset smirked at Twilight. "He's totally into you." She said. "Really?" Twilight asked sarcastically. "After every basketball game he comes up to me, he plays songs for me, and he just asked me out. I would've never known!" She said. "What'd you tell him?" Sunset asked. "Can't say." Twilight said. Then the announcements came from the loud speaker. Some feedback was there. Gohan was most affected by that crusty shit, because his hearing's a million times better. "Hey, everyone! If you could start heading to the courtyard, that would be rad! It's time to start the best week of camp ever!" A voice said. *** They were all at the courtyard. "Hi, everyone! Welcome to Camp Everfree! I'm Gloriosa Daisy, your camp director! Think of me as your friendly camp and nature guide. And this is my brother, Timber Spruce!" Gloriosa Daisy said on the microphone. "Think of me as that awesome guy... who should always be invited to fun things." Timber Spruce said. 'I just realizing how generic these names are.' Gohan thought. "We aim to please, so before we hand out our tent assignments, we'd like to hear from all of you. You're free to do whatever you like here." Gloriosa said. "Uh, except hike near the rock quarry. That's off limits." Timber said. "Yes, but otherwise your options are wide open! So what activities will make this the very best week of your lives ever?" Gloriosa asked. "Ooh! Rock climbing!" Rainbow Dash said. "Done!" Gloriosa said. "Archery!" Rainbow Dash said. "Of course!" Gloriosa said. "Tetherball!" Rainbow Dash said. "Naturally." Gloriosa said. Sunset pulled Rainbow Dash away. "Rainbow, I know you're excited, but maybe give somebody else a chance to make a suggestion." She said. "Arts and crafts!" Bulk Biceps said. Some people looked at him. "My mom... needs new pot holders." He said. "I'll supply the looms!" Gloriosa said. "Cookie decorating!" Pinkie said, licking her lips. "Ooh, I do make a mean sugar cookie!" Gloriosa said. "Early morning nature walks?" Fluttershy asked. "With walking sticks for everyone!" Gloriosa said. "Ooh! Me!" Rarity said. "Oh, uh... a fashion show! Where I design the most fabulous camp looks inspired by today's hottest trends AND have them modeled by my classmates in a gorgeous outdoor setting!" She said. "A camp tradition!" Gloriosa said. "We have literally never done that." Timber said. "Flying!" Gohan yelled. "I- What?" Gloriosa asked. "Flying sounds fun, but maybe you should pick another one." Applejack said. "Sparring!" Gohan yelled. "A-Again, not something they do, Gohan." Applejack said. "Fishing!" Gohan said. "The fish are right over there!" Gloriosa said, pointing at the lake. "Yay!" Gohan said, jumping once. They were able to see Gohan's tail. "Do you have a tail?" Timber asked. "I do." Gohan said. "A-Anyway... I-I'll be taking requests the rest of the time you're here, so if there's anything you'd like to do, anything you need, just ask." Gloriosa said, regaining her composure. Twilight and Timber looked at each other and she blushed a bit. Ooh... "What about the camp gift? That was MY favorite Camp Everfree tradition!" Celestia said. "The camp gift, of course!" Gloriosa said. "Really?" Timber whispered. "Yes really!" Gloriosa whispered. "I just thought..." Timber whispered. "Then you thought wrong!" She whispered. "Anyone else picking up on a little tension between Gloriosa and her brother?" Sunset asked. "Eh..." Pinkie and Twilight said. "A little." Pinkie said. "I'm picking up on some weird energy around them." Gohan said. "That sounds weird." Sunset said. "It's not much, just unusual." Gohan said. "Every year, campers work together to create something useful. A gift for future campers. Working toward this common goal is key to forming the strong bonds that will last well beyond your time here at camp!" Gloriosa said. Then she whispered to Timber. "Which is why it's so IMPORTANT." "This gazebo was a gift from last year's group. Oh, oh, oh, and the totem pole and the sundial were also made by campers!" Gloriosa said. "The sundial was OUR year's gift!" Celestia said. Luna coughed. "Even though 'some people' thought it was a little impractical, since the sundial can't be used at night." She said. Gloriosa chuckled. "You all seem like a really amazing group. So I'm certain you'll come up with something inspiring to leave behind!" She said. Everyone started to cheer. "Speaking of leaving things behind, now's the time when we give out tent assignments so you can leave your heavy bags behind." Timber said. "Anyway, girls will be getting their assignments from Timber. Guys, you're with me." Gloriosa said. So Gohan and the other boys gathered around her. And the girls gathered around Timber. So they lined up to get which tent they're in. How? Put your hand in a bag, then you see what you get. Pinkie pulled out the emerald one. "Yay! I'm in the Emerald Tent!" She said. Rarity was also emerald, Rainbow Dash and Applejack were aquamarine, and Fluttershy and Twilight were sapphire. Gohan and Sunset were in the same tent, too. Ruby. "I got ruby!" Sunset said. "Hey, so did I!" Gohan said. "Really? There must've been a mistake." Timber said. "Why?" Sunset asked. "Well, a few times we've had boys and girls share the same tent, but it's supposed to be two boys or two girls." Timber said. "Well, I don't mind my selection." Sunset said, wrapping an arm around Gohan and pulling him in tight. "We're dating." She said. Gohan nervously smiled and chuckled. 'I guess she wants it to be public.' He thought. "Oh. That's good. We've had reported sexual harassment in the tents when it came to a boy and a girl." Timber said. Sunset let go of Gohan. "I have a sapphire." Fluttershy said. "Me too! I mean, I'm assuming I am. Heheh. Technically, sapphires aren't just blue. Heheh. They can be pink, purple, yellow..." Twilight rambled. "Yeah, but they're mostly blue. That's why they're named after the Latin word sapphirus." Timber said, ignoring the fact that it happened again. Twilight smiled back at him. "That means blue!" He whispered. "I know! But did you know that sapphires are just rubies without chromium?" Twilight whispered. "No. But did you know that Sapphire Tent is the best one?" Timber asked, taking Twilight's card. "No, why's that?" Twilight asked. "Because you're in it." Timber flirted, raising his eyebrows a few times. "Oh, I bet you say that to all the campers." Twilight said, taking the card back. "Not true." Timber said, turning to Gohan. "You're in the ruby tent? Hah! That's the worst one!" Timber said. "It is? I don't really see much of a difference other than the gemstones. The ruby and the sapphire have practically the same hardness on the Mohs scale. The only difference is chromium, rarity and usual color. Unless you mean that the tent itself is in bad condition..." Gohan said. "Oh. You're good at gemstones?" Timber asked. "They're boring, but yeah." Gohan said. "Boring?" Timber asked, a little offended. "Then what's your favorite subject?" He asked. "Theoretical physics. But I guess at this point it's just physics." Gohan said. "What do you mean by that?" Timber asked. "I am not going tell a long story." Gohan said. "Oh, that's okay. The ruby tent isn't the worst, it's actually great." Timber said. "I know. I'm sharing it with the best possible person!" Gohan said. "Uh..." Bulk Biceps asked. "Where's the Amethyst tent?" He asked. "I'll go show you. See you around!" Timber said. The other girls giggled. "What?" Twilight asked. "Nothin..." Applejack said. "Ooh, that was adorable!" Rarity said. "What?" Twilight asked. "Now you have two guys on your tail. Good luck." Gohan said. "Oh..." Twilight said, blushing. Gloriosa blew a whistle. "Okay, everyone, go get settled in. We'll be meeting at the docks in fifteen minutes to go over some camp safety rules. Let me know if you need anything!" She said. Then some guy in a limo came. Filthy Rich. "I need somethin'." He said. "Filthy Rich! So nice to see you..." Gloriosa said, pulling him away from the crowds. "What are you DOING here?" She asked. "Just takin' in the scenery, Gloriosa Daisy. It's so... hmm... relaxin'." Filthy said. "Well, you can look around when camp is over. Now, if you don't mind..." Gloriosa said. The two had a bit of a staring contest. "Fine." He said, getting in his limo. Then she noticed Twilight, Sunset and Gohan watching. "Filthy Rich is, uh, an alumni of the camp. He likes to check on his old stomping grounds every now and again. But enough about him. Find your tents and put away your things. We've got the best week of camp ever to begin!" Gloriosa said. *** Gohan helped Sunset unpack in the tent. "We got lucky, huh?" Sunset asked. "Yeah. I can't believe it. Thank the Kais that happened." Gohan said, dropping his pouch of senzu beans in his chest at the foot of his bed. "When are you going to train?" Sunset asked. "After there's nothing else to do. I don't want to disrupt anyone. And freak those two out more than I already have with my tail." Gohan said. "I wonder how they'll react to the fishing." Sunset said. "Speaking of which..." Gohan said, setting some of her stuff in the chest at the foot of her bed. "Time to get some dinner!" He said, about to run off. "Wait." Sunset said. "Huh?" Gohan asked. Sunset walked up to Gohan and gave him a peck on the cheek. He blushed a bit. I mean, he would prefer a regular one... But that was still touching. "It's a good luck charm." She said. "Thanks..." He said, running off. Sunset giggled. 'He's cute.' She thought. *** Applejack and Rarity were walking around the tents. Rarity sighed. "I'm all for learning safety rules, but I do hope I can get started on my designs for the camp fashion show sooner rather than later." She said. "Huh. I still can't believe you talked Gloriosa into havin' a fashion show. We're in the middle of the woods, for cryin' out loud! We're supposed to be roughin' it!" Applejack said. "Gohan didn't bring any luggage or clothes! This would be perfect for him!" Rarity said. "And...? I mean, Gohan makes his own clothes appear. The only bad one is that cape he likes to wear." Applejack said. "It's clear from Gloriosa's own wardrobe that she appreciates a well put together look. Even if we are in the 'middle of the woods.'" Rarity said. "Fair enough. Just as long as you don't put me in your fancy pants outfits." Applejack said, walking away. Rarity smirked and crossed her arms. Applejack came back. "...You're gonna, aren't ya?" She asked. "No. Yes!" Rarity said. They continued their conversation from that point. Twilight was unpacking in the tent. Fluttershy was already by the dock. Sunset came in. Since Gohan just decided to run off. "Hey." She said. "Hi." Twilight said. Sunset pulled out a flashlight and tried to be a ghost before putting it away. "That was weird back there, right? With that guy, Filthy Rich?" Sunset asked. "Huh? Oh. Uh, I guess so." Twilight said. "I just have this feeling that Gloriosa's hiding something. Her brother is pretty cute, though, huh?" Sunset asked with a smirk. Twilight blushed a bit. "He's okay..." She said. "Ooh~! Now look who's trying to hide something. Now you have two guys to choose from." Sunset said, giggling. "Hey!" Twilight said. "Hey, you did this to me when you found out on the spot." Sunset said. "Oh, I guess that's reasonable. Say... You never told us how it went." Twilight said. "It was hilarious. I poured my heart out twice, and he didn't understand. When we kissed, he didn't even know what that was either." Sunset said. "He's smart, but clueless! It's like standing in a wheelchair. Do you know how much of an oxymoron that is? Him and Timber are gemstone experts, but Gohan is no romance expert." Twilight giggled. "I like how naive he is, though. It's funny, but kinda cute too." Sunset said. "Okay, well... That's good." Twilight said. "But I'm a little concerned about you. On the bus you were spazzing out." Sunset said. "Probably had another one of her nightmares." Spike said. Twilight threw her socks on Spike. "I'm fine. I mean, what do I have to complain about? Ever since I transferred here, everyone from CHS has been really nice and accepting, especially considering what happened at the Friendship Games." Twilight said. "That wasn't your fault. Principal Cinch is the one who encouraged you to try and use all that magic to win the Games for Crystal Prep. You weren't ready to have that kind of power. Especially against us... But it's over now. And if there's any group that's gonna forgive you for something that happened in the past, trust me, it's this one. Two of us have already gone through the same thing." Sunset said. "And if it ever happens... Gohan will just shut it down." Twilight said. "Or us." Sunset said. "Yeah." Twilight said. "You guys comin' or what?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Be right there!" Sunset said. "I just wanna put on some sunscreen. Can I borrow yours?" Sunset asked. "Sure! Let me just find it..." Twilight said. "Huh. I could've sworn I packed it." Twilight said. Sunset was looking, too. "Found it!" Twilight said, pointing at the sun- What the fuck? It's floating? Everything around them, including Spike is, too. Somewhere on the docks... 'Why does it feel like Twilight kind of ponied up?' Gohan thought. "Did you...? How is this possible!?" Sunset asked. "I can't believe this! It's..." Twilight said. "Amazing!" "Terrible!" Sunset and Twilight said at the same time. Then Twilight somehow dropped everything. "Are you kidding? This is great! I mean, we've all ponied up before, gotten the whole ears and wings and tail thing, shot magical rainbow lasers, gain extreme power, but nothing like this has ever happened! How did you do it?" Sunset asked. "I don't know! Maybe I didn't. Maybe it's her!" Twilight said, referring to Midnight Sparkle. She was freaking out. "Her who?" Sunset asked. "Nothing. Never mind. Can we just not talk about it? And could you please not bring this whole levitating thing up to the others?" Twilight asked. "Why not?" Sunset asked. "You heard Applejack. This is supposed to be the place where everyone can get away from magic. I don't want them to know I brought some crazy new kind with me." Twilight said. "I won't say anything, but I doubt Gohan won't find out." Sunset said. "Thank you." Twilight said, walking out the tent. "Okay, but this isn't necessarily a bad thing!" Sunset exclaimed. Sunset saw the sunscreen and tried herself. "Aw..." She said. "I think you're just gonna have to pick it up." Spike said. "I'll just do it the traditional way." Sunset said, barely struggling to lift it with her ki. Well, she got it to her hands. "Woah. How'd you do that?" Spike asked. "Gohan gave me a private lesson." Sunset said. "That's cool. You two kissed then?" Spike asked with a smirk. "That was before last week, Spike." Sunset said. "Oh." Spike said. Sunset walked out of the tent. As she walked, she accidentally ran into Gloriosa. 'Show up like that!' Sunset heard in her head. "What did you say?" Sunset asked. "I... didn't say anything. Just here to make sure everyone was headed over to the docks! Did you need something?" Gloriosa asked. "Nope." Sunset said. "Because if there is anything I can do to make this week the best week ever, you just let me know. I've got this!" Gloriosa said. "I'm fine." Sunset said. "Also, I was given a tip that we messed up on the tent sharing?" Gloriosa asked. "It's boys with boys and girls with girls, but I somehow landed in the same tent as a boy." Sunset said. "Do you want to change?" Gloriosa asked. "Nope!" Sunset said. "You sure you don't need anything?" Gloriosa asked. "No thanks, I'm good." Sunset said. Gloriosa walked away. Spike happened to walk up to Sunset. "People that chipper make me nervous." She said. Then a hug came from behind. "This is gonna be so much fun!" Pinkie exclaimed. "I guess not all people." Sunset said. *** The Humane 7 were at the lake. "Oh, it's beautiful, isn't it? It looks like a diamond shining in the sun!" Rarity said. A giant fish was punched out of the deep end of the water. It was similar to Paozu tuna, and that shit's huge. "It is lovely out here. The fresh air, the cool breeze, the birds that land on your finger..." Fluttershy said, having a bird land on her finger. Another fish. "And the fish getting punched out of the water..." Pinkie said. "I think that only happens to you, Fluttershy." Rainbow Dash said. Fluttershy shook her head. "I've seen Gohan do it." She said. Gloriosa came, and now the kids were around Gloriosa. "Lake activities are available every day until sunset, so if you want to canoe, sail, windsurf, or swim, just let me know." She said. "Then someone needs to get Gohan out of the water because he's still punching fish out of the water." Rainbow Dash said. "He's doing what!?" Gloriosa asked. Then a giant tuna fell to her feet. "Sorry! You can have that one!" Gohan yelled before diving back in. "Is he doing that without a bathing suit!?" Gloriosa asked. "How many of those are in the lake...?" Twilight asked. "A lot. But how is he even doing that? I could've sworn I kept them away..." Gloriosa said, referring to the fish deep inside the lake. "Kept what away? He's natural like that. The flying, the energy blasts, the teleportation, and pretty much anything." Sunset said. "He does what!?" Gloriosa asked. "He even taught us a few moves! Like this! Whee!" Pinkie said, flying around Sunset. "And he taught us to do this." Sunset said, holding her hand out and making a ball of ki. Gloriosa looked like she was about to faint. Everyone stopped those things. *** Fluttershy was feeding the ducks, Gohan was now just swimming in the water and Twilight was walking. "Aren't they just the cutest!?" Fluttershy asked. Twilight nodded, but then a piece of wood broke and she fell over. Timber caught her, luckily. "Whoa! I know I'm charming, but you don't have to fall for me." He said. Flash looked from afar and sighed. Sunset walked up to him. "Guess I can't get too jealous, right? After all, she isn't MY Twilight. Not that the other Twilight was mine! But we were... you know." He said. 'So she declined... I think.' Sunset thought. "Yeah, I get it. I mean, I know. But your Twilight is a princess in Equestria. Hate to break it to you, but that's where she's gonna spend most of her time." Sunset said. "Does he hang around her often?" Flash asked, pointing at Gohan. "Yeah, pretty much. Don't think he's trying to get her. He can never see it that way." Sunset said. "Why?" Flash asked. "He already found someone." Sunset said. "Really? That's interesting. Who?" Flash asked. Sunset giggled and blushed. "...No...... Really?" Flash asked. "Yeah.... Heheh..." Sunset said. "Oh... A-Anyway, you're saying I just need to get over her?" Flash said. "Maybe. I mean, the princess is definitely into you. Trust me, I know. But she's not gonna be around. The last time she came she wasn't even here for ten seconds. She just had to get him to fight some evil universe overlord." Sunset said, pointing at Gohan. Who was playing with smaller fish. Then someone threw a marshmallow at his forehead. It was Pinkie. "Why'd you do that?" Gohan asked. "FEED IT TO THE FISHIES!" Pinkie screamed. "They don't even eat this! What are you thinking!?" Gohan asked. "I guess you're right. Ouch. You're not pulling any punches." Flash said. "Not really my thing, sorry." Sunset said, lightly punching his shoulder. "Stop pegging marshmallows at me!" Gohan yelled, catching marshmallows and eating a few. "No!" Pinkie yelled, throwing marshmallows at Gohan. Then Gohan saw the biggest fish in the lake right under him. Yeah, a nice 40 feet under him. He grinned. 'That's a big one! Here I come!' He thought before diving down into the water. A marshmallow missed him soon after. "Aw!" Pinkie said. Luna, Celestia and Gloriosa were inspecting the damaged wood. "This is a safety hazard. I suggest we close down the dock for the remainder of the camp." Luna said. The students all groaned. "Oh, I'm sure it won't have to be for the remainder of camp. Just needs to be patched up a bit. I've got this!" Gloriosa said. "Huh. Or maybe we do! If you ask me, this whole dock needs to go." Applejack said, kicking the wood off the log. "Building a new one could be our camp gift. Sure, it would benefit us, but a nice new dock would benefit future campers, too." She said. The students cheered. "I don't know. It's an awful lot of work. I wouldn't want you guys to miss out on doing other fun camp stuff because you're so busy building a dock for future campers." Timber said. Sunset noticed the tension between the siblings again. "I hear what you're saying, Timber, but we're Canterlot Wondercolts. We've got a reputation to uphold! And there was no way we're gonna leave this place without contributing the most awesome camp gift ever! I'm with AJ. Building a new dock is definitely it! What do you guys think?" Rainbow Dash asked. The students cheered. "How will we do this? It's going to be difficult to take this apart." Timber asked. "Don't worry! We have the perfect destruction plan! And maybe the perfect construction plan... Hey Gohan! Get out of the water!" Sunset yelled. Gohan jumped out of the water onto land with the biggest fish in the lake in one hand. "Why isn't he wearing a bathing suit?" Timber asked. "He drys off very easily." Rarity said. Gohan shook himself dry, so his hair was its usual spikyness. "How is he holding that fish!?" Timber asked. "He's really, really strong." Rainbow Dash said. "What's up?" Gohan asked. "Why don't you destroy the dock for us?" Sunset asked. "With ki or...?" Gohan asked. "Either or." Sunset said. Gohan started to walk to the end of the dock, on the land. "What are you gonna do?" Timber asked. "You guys should probably get off the dock." Gohan said. The principals and Gloriosa got off. Gohan dug his fingers underneath the dock. "He'll get hurt!" Gloriosa said. "No he won't. He's taken on worse." Applejack said. "Much, much worse." Sunset said. Then a loud crack could be heard. Gohan lifted the entire dock! It was surprisingly intact. The two siblings looked in shock. The others just got used to it. "Looks like it's settled, then... We have no dock now." Gloriosa said. *** The building of the docks was occurring. Some students were struggling to hit nails in. Most notably Derpy. Kept missing the nail. And Timber smashed his thumb. "Ack!" He yelled, grabbing his thumb. "Are you okay?" Twilight asked. "Yeah, I'll be fine..." Timber said. "Should I hit the nail in?" Gohan asked. "If you want." Timber said, holding the hammer out to him. Gohan just knelt down and pressed his thumb on the nail, getting it in the wood. Timber was surprised yet again. "All right, now. You've made a lot of progress, but it's going to be getting dark soon. We can pick this up tomorrow between our other camp activities." Celestia said. "Everyone, get cleaned up, and we'll gather by the fire pit at eight to share s'mores and scary stories!" Gloriosa said. "And maybe you can have some of the fish I caught!" Gohan said, pointing to his collection of Paozu-like tuna. "You're willing to share?" Gloriosa asked. "I wouldn't want to hog it all for myself." Gohan said. *** It was six. Assignments were done, so hey! 'Training time!' Gohan thought, running off to a secluded location. Nice forest, a mountain right nearby, and the breeze was nice. He wasn't near the rock quarry. Gohan got on one hand for push-ups. 'I really wish dad was back to see my progress. Or really to defend the planet in place of me. It's kind of getting in the way of my studies.' He thought as he did push-ups. 'I bet me getting the power of a Super Saiyan would really make him proud! Maybe I'll go visit Other World again while I'm here, try and find them again. But they're probably destroyed like Bulma and Trunks. I'm just hoping not. Dad's too strong for that! He's the best, stronger than me, even! I'm sure of it! But I wonder if he got any new forms.' He thought. *** "This is a power beyond that of a Super Saiyan God!" Goku said. *** 'I bet it's really cool! Much cooler than Super Saiyan 4, I bet. That just looks like a monkey Super Saiyan, in my opinion.' Gohan thought as he switched hands. 'Goten really needs to meet him. Dad would call him 'mini me!' Because he is quite literally a miniature version of dad. I'm really excited to meet him again, too. I just want it to happen soon!' He thought. 'Santa Claus may say he's a threat to the entire universe, but that's never gonna happen! He would never!' He thought. *** "IF WE LOSE, THE UNIVERSE WILL BE DESTROYED!? YOU DUMBASS!" Beerus yelled. *** 'I really wonder what other antics are going to affect Equestria. First it was Bojack, then Hirudegarn, and Frieza...' Gohan thought as he stood up. "Hey." A voice said from behind. Gohan looked over his shoulder. "Sunset?" He asked. "You're training, huh?" Sunset asked. Gohan turned around and nodded. "Care if I join you?" Sunset asked, getting into a fighting pose. Pretty much Gohan's. "I suppose I won't." Gohan said. Sunset charged at Gohan, throwing a fist. Gohan dodged, then dodged another punch and then a kick. He caught a chop by Sunset and threw her to the side. She grabbed the ground and used her feet to stop her momentum. She jumped back into the fray. With a new technique. Gohan thought he was seeing things, because all of a sudden he saw two Sunsets on top of each other charging at him. Instead of using his sensing, he acted on instinct, trying to block from above. He was going to transition down when the first one hit, since she was attacking first. But, when the one on top threw a punch, it went right through him. "What the-" Gohan said before Sunset punched him in the stomach. She grinned. But it do no damage since, well, she was not really that strong. "Wow. That was good." Gohan said, jumping back. "Oh wait, I forgot to pony up. No wonder it didn't work! One sec." Sunset said, ponying up. Her usual white aura turned red. "You get stronger every time I see you." Gohan said. "I've got more up my sleeve!" Sunset said with a smirk before darting right for Gohan. Sunset started rushing him with barrages of punches and kicks. Gohan was just blocking. 'Her speed's improved a lot! I feel a bit more malice than usual from her... Is it the relationship or something?' He thought. Eventually Sunset threw a kick upwards, which he jumped high up to dodge. "Gotcha." She muttered before trailing him from the side. Gohan aimed his palm at her and fired a wave of ki. Sunset was pushed back, but she flew back at him. She was on the exact same level of height as him now. Now, Gohan saw it again. Two Sunsets on top of each other. 'I won't fall for it again!' He thought. But for some reason, the Sunset on the bottom fell back, cupping her hands together, while the one on the top charged at Gohan head on. Gohan aimed his hands at the Sunset on the bottom. But, all of a sudden, the Sunset on the top smashed her fist downwards on his head! Catching him completely by surprise. He was sent towards the ground! But that wasn't the last thing. "Kamehameha!" Sunset below yelled, firing the Kamehameha wave at him. A direct hit in the back! He was sent flying into other trees. The Sunset on the top disappeared into smoke. But, Gohan recovered quickly, using the closest tree to jump down to the ground, and fly right back up to Sunset. He punched her right in the cheek! Caught her right off guard with that speed. Sunset recoiled a bit before finally regaining her footing. "Ouch... That was fast." Sunset said with a grin. "Speak for yourself. You really caught me off guard with that." Gohan said. Sunset chuckled. "I took the entire weekend to do them." She said. "They were really cool." Gohan said. "I tried doing your Multi-Form Technique, but that was the best I could do." Sunset said. "Dang, it was faster than mine!" Gohan said. "And you used the After Image Technique, I see. A much better version." He said. "I realized I could move with the after image, too." Sunset said. "That's great! It's really hard for me to do that." Gohan said. "Right?" Sunset asked. "You've got me pumped for some more training. Let's go!" Gohan said. "Alrighty!" Sunset yelled as she charged at Gohan. The two started throwing punches instead of it being one sided again. *** Gohan and Sunset were laying down on the ground, panting. Sunset had few cuts and scratches, while Gohan remained to be relatively unharmed. "That... Was... Intense..." Sunset said. Gohan sat up. "That was fun!" He said. "I'm so sore..." Sunset said. "I never thought you were able to fight so fiercely." Gohan said. "Well, I was Princess Celestia's student..." Sunset said. "I may have held back, but you really managed to tire me out." Gohan said. "Wow... That's a real accomplishment for me." Sunset said. Gohan chuckled. "I wish you could go Super Saiyan. Or that you were a Saiyan in general, that would be pretty cool." He said. "So I would have that hack?" Sunset asked with a grin. "Hack? Oh, you mean how I get stronger after every fight?" Gohan asked. "Yeah. That's a bit unfair, dude." Sunset said, sitting up. "Hey, I didn't ask to be a Saiyan. I'm happy, but it just got me into more troubles than I can count." Gohan said. "Like seeing more people die than most people in general?" Sunset asked. "Yeah, that. But, I guess these troubles are automatically made okay." Gohan said. "How?" Sunset asked, genuinely confused. He turned his head towards her. "Because I'm with you now." Gohan flirted. Sunset giggled and blushed. "You really think so?" She asked. "I know so! I mean, I know I didn't even comprehend love before prom, but I like it. It's amazing how differently I can see you because of it." Gohan said. Sunset hugged his arm and rested her head on his shoulder, making him blush. "I'm glad you're happy. At least I'm not just being a burden on you or anything." She said. The size difference was laughable. "Even if you were, right now, I wouldn't give up on you." Gohan said. "Aw... That's sweet." Sunset said. The two looked at each other. Gohan with his usually open eyes and Sunset with her sultry eyes. "Hey! Lovebirds!" Moment Killer Rainbow Dash yelled from behind. Gohan and Sunset looked over their shoulders. "It's storytelling time! Let's go!" Rainbow Dash said, running off. *** Story telling was happening. Gohan was eating the absurd amount of fish. Everyone else just declined. "...And that's when she looked down and realized she was wearing purple socks with a burgundy dress!" Rarity said, weeping. Nothing really. "Purple and burgundy, darlings! The same color family!" She yelled. The other students weren't really scared. "Uh... that was a terrifying story." Applejack joked. Rainbow Dash chuckled. "Yeah, I'm terrified she'll try to tell it again." She said. "Anyone else have a spooky story?" Luna asked. Sunset nudged Gohan with her elbow. "Tell them a story!" She whispered. "Too personal." Gohan said. "You don't have to say you did it." Sunset whispered. "Oh. Maybe. Hey, I-" "I have one. But I'm warning you, you might as well hug a friend now. That's how scary it is!" Timber interrupted. Spike jumped to Fluttershy in fear, Fluttershy whimpered, Bulk Biceps was scared, and a lot of other things. "I'm hugging the fish." Gohan said. Everyone laughed. "It's time I told you about the legend of Gaea Everfree." Timber said. "Many years ago, my great-grandparents came to this forest. Seeing its beauty, they decided that it would be the perfect place for a camp. But once they started building, strange things started to happen. One pitch black night, when the wind was howling, a tree branch crashed through the roof of their cabin! They screamed and ran outside, only to see the giant creature rising from the earth! She had wild hair like the roots of a tree. Her mouth had jagged rock teeth and her eyes were pools of black tar. But her aura shimmered like diamonds. Anywhere she went, she left a trail of gem dust in her wake. Trembling, my great-grandparents asked who she was and what she wanted. In a deep and hollow voice, she told them that her name was Gaea Everfree - an ancient spirit who held domain over the forest, and that my great-grandparents were trespassing on her land. They begged her to let them stay and build their camp, to share this wonderful place with others. Gaea Everfree finally agreed but warned them that they would not be able to keep it forever. Someday, she will return and reclaim the forest as her own." He said. "So if you see a trail of gem dust, you'll know that it is... Gaea Everfree!" He yelled. And then Gloriosa came out of the bushes, making some students scream. 'Not that scary.' Gohan thought. "Hey guys! Sorry! Didn't mean to scare you!" She said, sitting down. "Then why'd you come out of the bushes?" Sunset asked. "I... took the scenic route, because the forest is beautiful at night. But no one else should do it without a guide, kay?" Gloriosa said, sitting down. "Anyway, that story is nothing!" Sunset said. "Really? You can come up with better?" Timber asked. "This guy can!" Sunset said, nudging Gohan. "Oh, fine. I'll give a chronicle." Gohan said. "Alright! He's sharing it!" Rainbow Dash said. "Let me tell you the story about the Saiyans." Gohan said. "There was a baby coming from a destroyed planet. His parents sent him to a distant planet called Earth so that he could either save himself or take it over." *** "Then, the boy grew up! He was now an adult with a son and a wife. Everything was peachy... Until the Saiyans came. One Saiyan who survived the doomed planet came to Earth to see the boy. Turns out, it was his brother! He kidnapped his son!" *** "The boy sacrificed himself in order to save the planet, being drilled right in the stomach! The blood was everywhere, and he was on his last legs." Gohan said. Some students cowered in fear. "I-Is that it?" Gloriosa asked. "No, we're just getting started! He died!" Gohan said. *** "The two other Saiyans showed up!" *** "Oh god, everyone's dead! One got blown up, one lost his arm and then died, another blew himself up and the boy's greatest enemy sacrificed himself for his son." *** "He gets there, and makes the first one pay! Eventually he broke his back saving the two survivors!" *** "He turned into a giant monkey, crushing the boy!" *** "And with that, he was let go. Many fell, but Earth remained standing. But, the next adventure involves a new planet. A planet called Namek... Where there was more bloodshed, a freaky alien genotype and when you thought it can't get any worse... The planet explodes." Gohan ended. Pretty much everyone but the Humane 7 and Spike was trembling. "O-Okay, that's scary and sad." Timber said. "Very, very descriptive." Gloriosa said. "It's a true story!" Rainbow Dash said. "Where did any of this come from!?" Snips asked. "Can't say." Gohan said. "You won't tell us the origin?" Timber asked. "Planet Earth." Gohan said. "That's... Where even is that?" Timber asked. "Another solar system." Gohan said. "Can't you be more specific?" Trixie asked. "Nope!" Gohan said. "All right, everybody, time to head to your tents." Gloriosa said. *** Well, everyone was in their tent. Everyone was going to sleep. Gohan sighed as he took off his boot. "Is something wrong?" Sunset asked. "I think I just endangered the fish population." Gohan said. Sunset giggled. "Is that what's wrong?" She asked. "Not really, I just have a bad feeling about this place." Gohan said, taking off his wristbands. "What do you mean?" Sunset asked. "I feel like there's a pretty big power from somewhere, I felt like Twilight ponied up for a moment, and Gloriosa has a weird power level." Gohan said. "Well... I don't know anything that could add up to that." Sunset said. "I wouldn't expect you to." Gohan said. "I haven't taught you sensing yet." He added. He started to take his weighted shirt off. "You have...not..." Sunset said, looking at his body a bit. She looked away as quickly as she could. He put his orange shirt back on. See, he learned from that mistake. "But Camp Everfree's good, right?" Sunset asked. "Yeah. It's a good place to stay, I'd say." Gohan said, laying down on the bed. "Timber's story seemed a bit scary when Gloriosa randomly showed up, huh?" Sunset asked. "Not really. The only random part about that was her random increase in power." Gohan said. "She had a what?" Sunset asked. "An increase in power. As if she had gone through some training." Gohan said. "Oh... That doesn't sound good." Sunset said. "I mean, it's no threat. You don't even have to pony up to surpass her or anything." Gohan said. "I guess that's a relief." Sunset said. "Did that scare you or something?" Gohan asked. "Kind of. I don't want to fight any more monsters because the last time we almost got killed trying to help." Sunset said. "That's why I said no originally." Gohan said. "But we did it anyway." Sunset said. "Which scared me beyond anything." Gohan said. Sunset giggled. "Alright, good night, Gohan." She said. "Good night." Gohan said, getting under the covers. 'Maybe I should introduce him to cuddling tomorrow.' Sunset thought. *** It was morning and- Goddamnit, another nightmare for Twilight. Midnight keeps terrorizing the poor girl, damn it! And she burst awake with another- "NO!" She screamed. Waking Fluttershy up. She sprang out of bed on a handstand. "What happened Mr. Bear!? The monster won't win against Friendship!" She said half asleep. "What? Sorry, Fluttershy... Nothing happened." Twilight said. Fluttershy collapsed back onto the bed. She got the covers back on herself and fell back asleep. 'Thank goodness... Now, what do I do about this...?' Twilight thought. She was making the bed, the lamp, the luggage and the bed for Spike float. She accidentally made everything fall. Woke Spike up. "Is it time to get up already...?" He asked before falling back asleep. *** Everyone was by the dock. Gohan sported the Piccolo gi without the cape. It was with a blue belt and wristbands instead of red this time. Derpy and Sandalwood were sailing. Twilight was walking up to Sunset. "Sunset, something happened this morning." She said. "What?" Sunset asked. "I was making everything float without realizing it." Twilight whispered. "Oh. That's not necessarily a bad thing. Unless it did harm..." Sunset said. "It didn't, but I couldn't control it." Twilight said. Derpy and Sandalwood were just stuck there with no wind. But then they instantly sprang at 200 miles per hour towards the dock and destroyed part of it! "What happened!?" Rainbow Dash asked. "I didn't mean to!" Twilight said. "We didn't see anything, so we don't know what happened." Sunset said, rushing to the scene. "Are you okay?" Sunset asked Sandalwood. "Yeah. It was so weird. We were stuck in a middle of the lake with no wind, then all of a sudden, bam! The wind picked up, and we were pushed right into the dock." Sandalwood said. Timber took him and Derpy elsewhere. Pinkie gasped. "You don't think it was the spirit, do you!?" She asked. "No... It was me..." Twilight muttered. "Hey... Why are you wearing that today?" Pinkie asked. "Where'd you even get it from without any luggage?" Trixie asked. "I made it." Gohan said. But then he felt some shit in the river. "What's that?" Rarity asked, pointing at some magic in the river. "Is that magic?" Gohan asked. 'Nonononononononono!' Twilight thought. "Magic? You're kidding, right?" Applejack asked. Gohan was about to answer then saw the nervousness on Twilight's face. "...Yeah, I'm only kidding. It must be some sort of dye." He lied. Confusing Twilight. 'She has to answer some questions later.' He thought. "Oh, man! All our hard work! Ruined!" Rainbow Dash said. "Not all of it. Only that small portion of the dock was ruined." Gohan said. "At least the fishies are eating well." Fluttershy said. "The little ones, at least." Gohan said. "Let's salvage what we can out of the water. Maybe we can still fix this." Sunset said. "On it!" Gohan said, jumping into the water. "We have to try! Camp Everfree needs a runway!" Rarity said. "Dock." Applejack corrected. "Dock. Yes. That's what I meant." Rarity said. Twilight ended up running away for... You know, reasons. She ran into the forest. *** Sunset was looking around for Twilight. She even looked in the sapphire tent, but no luck. Spike didn't know either. "Hey Gohan, do you know where Twilight is?" Sunset asked in the Ruby tent. Gohan pointed a finger in a certain direction. "Thanks!" Sunset said, running off. Spike followed her. 'I really want to know what she's hiding... Eh, I'll ask later. Right now...' Gohan said, pulling out some leftover fish from yesterday and licking his lips. *** Twilight was wandering around the forest. "Keep it together... Deep breaths... You are NOT a monster." Twilight repeated to herself. Then she bumped into something and screamed. That something screamed too. It was Timber. "Oh, hi!" Twilight said, before chuckling nervously. "What are you doing here?" She asked. "Uh...... Looking for you." Timber said, pointing at Twilight. "Oh, I just went on a nature walk and got a little lost." Twilight said. "Let me show you the way." Timber said, walking away. Twilight followed. "I'm kind of an expert at these woods. I've lived here my whole life." He said. "That must have been nice. Growing up at a camp." Twilight said. "Yeah, though it has its downsides. When I was younger, I wished we'd sell this place so we could live in a town like normal people." Timber said. "Really?" Twilight asked. "I was ten. I really wanted to hang around the mall." Timber said. The two giggled a bit. "I've never told that to anyone. You must be special." He said. The two blushed. Ooh... "And not just because you have tree branch in your hair." He said, taking said thing out of her hair. "Ugh. How long has that been in there?" Twilight asked. "Not long. Just the whole time we've been talking." Timber said. "Then why didn't you say something?" Twilight asked. Sunset and Spike watched from a bush. "I guess we can help Twilight deal with the magic stuff a little later." She said. *** Now the campers were rock climbing. "Rock climbing is all about perseverance and trust. Rarity, you can trust that Applejack will spot you." Celestia said. "Or if she can't, I'll just fly out of it." Rarity said. "Yeah, so you can totally go faster than you're going." Rainbow Dash said. "Rainbow Dash!" Applejack said. "Sorry! I've been waiting to do this since we got here! And they won't let us do it without a partner!" Rainbow Dash said. "Then what's he doing?" Rarity asked, pointing at Gohan, who was rock climbing. About 60% of the way up. "What the... He's gonna get hurt!" Timber said. Twilight also just got here. "No he isn't." Twilight said. "He's ten or something! We have to get him down!" Timber said. "I don't think we need to. He can just fly down if he wants to. Or he could've flown up, either way." Rainbow Dash said. "Flying!?" Timber asked. "He's been able to do it for a long time now." Twilight said. "Speaking of whom, Gohan!" Rainbow Dash said. "Yeah?" He asked. "Can you spot me?" Rainbow Dash asked. "I don't know what that means, but alright." Gohan said, jumping off from the top of the wall. "I'll go get the harness!" Rainbow Dash said, running off. "I was told you can fly?" Timber asked. "Yeah." Gohan said. "Can you show me?" Timber asked. "Okay..." Gohan said. He flew back up to the top and came back down at that. Timber gawked at that. Then he flew back down to Timber. "Okay, I showed it to you." He said. "H-How...?" Timber asked. "Wait a second... I forgot to do something, oh no! Be back in a moment." Gohan said, teleporting away. To avoid confrontation. And also because he really had to do something. Timber looked like he had just seen a ghost! "He's confusing, I know." Twilight said. "I-I better make sure my sister doesn't need anything. See you later?" Timber asked, slowly walking away. The two looked at each other with sultry eyes. Ooh... Even romantic music was playing. Even better. Then he finally walked away. "Twilight, there you are!" Sunset said, walking up to Twilight. "I was looking for you." She said. Then there was an earthquake! "Was that an earthquake?" Spike asked. "We aren't near any fault lines." Twilight said. "HEY!" Bulk Biceps yelled. "Who left this crystaly dusty stuff here!?" He yelled. And in that moment, Rarity slipped and the harness was holding her in air. She freaked out, forgetting she could fly. "I BELIEVE I'D LIKE TO COME DOWN NOW!" She said. Applejack tried pulling her down, but- "Sorry! It's a little bit stuck!" She said, gaining super strength all of a sudden. She pulled on it, sending Rarity flying up. And she let go, making Rarity fall down super fast. At the last second, she caught the rope to save her. "APPLEJACK! What are you doing!?" Rarity yelled. "Is everything okay over there?" Celestia asked. "Uh, I don't know what happened. I didn't even pull the rope that hard. It's like she was light as a feather all of a sudden." Applejack said. "So what, did you just turn into Gohan all of a sudden?" Sunset asked. "I was scared half to death!" Rarity said. "It wasn't my fault! Let me help get your harness off." Applejack said. "No thank you!" Rarity yelled, unleashing a giant gem to push Applejack away. What? She was pushed into a lake. She came out of the bushes, drenched. "What in the world just happened!?" Celestia asked, rushing to Applejack. "Oh, dear! I am so sorry! I think. Did I just do whatever that was?" Rarity said. "I don't think it was your fault... I'm gonna go get Applejack a towel." Twilight said, walking away. "Me too." Sunset said, walking away with Spike. Then Gohan popped back into reality. "I'm ba- What just happened?" He asked, noticing a drenched Applejack. "Rarity just did something to Applejack." Sunset said. "That wasn't what I meant. Why is Applejack a hundred times stronger and Rarity feels stronger too?" Gohan asked. "Where were you?" Applejack said. "World of the Kais. I was going to do some training since I'm done with my assignments, but nobody was there. Left a note about a tournament or something. Something about destroyers...? I don't know. Wish they invited me..." Gohan said. Sunset caught up to Twilight. "You're not the only one with a new kind of magic! This is great!" Sunset said. "No, it's not! Rarity and Applejack could have really hurt each other! Why is this happening? I don't-" "Hey girls!" Gloriosa interrupted. "Anything I can do for you?" She asked. "Uh, Applejack just fell into the lake!" Twilight said. "Oh, no! She's gonna need warm towels, dry clothes, oh, and a hot cocoa! I've got this!" Gloriosa said, walking away. "Twilight, Sunset." Gohan said from behind. "Care to explain what's happening?" He asked. "Well..." Twilight said. Then there was screaming all of a sudden. From inside the cabin. "Fluttershy?" The three asked, rushing to the cooking place. They opened the doors. "What happened!?" They all asked. "I don't know. We were just decorating cookies and-" "And I was all, "You need more sprinkles! And you need more sprinkles!"" Pinkie said. "So standard Pinkie Pie stuff?" Sunset asked. "With explosives this time?" Gohan asked. "I was just tossing sprinkles to Fluttershy, when all of a sudden they glowed pink and exploded!" Pinkie said, throwing the sprinkles at Gohan. They exploded in his face, making it black. It kind of blew the others' hair backwards. "It smells like candy." Gohan said, wiping his face. Pinkie shook her head so that her hair was normal again. "Just like that, only earlier!" She said. "Oookaay. Why don't you lay off touching stuff for a while?" Sunset asked, grabbing Pinkie's hand. Gohan set her hair straight again. "Thanks." She said. "Oh, dear. We really should clean all of this up." Fluttershy said, walking over to the paper towels. She struggled to reach up. What could she do!? Oh, I don't know, FLY? "Can someone help me out?" She asked. "You can fly..." Gohan said. Then a bird came in and grabbed it for her. He dropped in her arms. He landed on Fluttershy's finger. "Thank you, Mr. Bird." She said. Then he tweeted. "Why of course I can get you a little something to ea-" Fluttershy said, before realizing she was talking to him. "Did you just talk?" She asked. The bird tweeted. "But I don't speak 'chirp.'" Fluttershy said. The bird tweeted again. "I don't know if you're the only bird I can understand." Fluttershy said. Tweet. "No, please don't call for your friends." Fluttershy said. Then seven more birds came, and Fluttershy stuck her arms out to hold them all, dropping the paper towels. "It's nice to meet all of you, too." She said. "Were you just talking to the birds?" Sunset asked. "Um... Yes?" Fluttershy asked. Then the door burst open and she screamed, making the birds all fly away. It was Rarity and Applejack. "Did you tell them what happened? So crazy! I hoisted Rarity up the rock climbin' wall like it was nothin'! Like I had way more strength than I usually do." Applejack said. "That's what I just said." Gohan said. "And I made a diamondy thing appear out of nowhere, which normally I'd be excited about. I mean, the facets were just perfect, and the-" "Rarity!" Applejack interrupted. "Oh, sorry. It knocked Applejack over, and disappeared!" Rarity said. "Speaking of disappearing... Where's Rainbow Dash?" Applejack asked. "Oh, she's only running straight at us at a speed of Mach fi-" Gohan said before Rainbow Dash came running in at supersonic speeds. She ran into the wall and fell over. "Ow!" She yelled. "Whoa... How'd you do that?" Applejack asked. "How'd you guess her approximate speed?" Twilight asked Gohan. "I don't know! I started running to get the harness, and the next thing I knew, I was practically back in town!" Rainbow Dash said. "But if you had some sort of super speed, why you were gone for so long?" Rarity asked. "Because I lost it when I got far away. And then it came back when I got close to camp." Rainbow Dash said. Pinkie gasped. "Being at camp is giving us all new magical abilities!" She said. "Not all of us have gotten new abilities. I haven't, but Twilight-... Hasn't. Gohan hasn't either." Sunset said. "I don't think magic would affect me with the small amount littered around." Gohan said. "You know there's magic littered around?" Twilight asked with fear. "Yeah. It was in the river earlier, and around the rock climbing thing." Gohan said. Applejack sighed. "So much for my theory that leavin' CHS would mean leavin' any new magic business behind." She said. "Something at the camp must be making this happen." Sunset said. "Uh... Gaea Everfree?" Fluttershy asked. "She's not real." Gohan said. Then the door burst open, making her scream. It was just Gloriosa carrying towels, new clothes and a hat. "Applejack! I was looking for you! Here, I brought you some towels and dry clothes. Uh, what happened in here?" She asked, giving Applejack her stuff. "That's what we're trying to figure out." Sunset said. "Don't worry, I'll handle it. Fluttershy, hand me the paper towels." Gohan said. "Okay." Fluttershy said, handing it to Gohan. "Don't worry, I'll handle this!" Gloriosa said. Too late. Gohan zipped all over the room, and cleaned it clean. "Well... I would've handled it, but... Thanks?" Gloriosa asked. Then Sandalwood and Derpy came in. "Gloriosa, I kicked my beanbag into the lake!" He said. Gloriosa's eye twitched. "I'll get you another one!" She said. "And I'm all out of arrows!" Derpy said. "Say no more! New arrows coming right up!" Gloriosa said. Then Timber burst in. "There you are!" He said. Then he whispered to Gloriosa. "Filthy Rich is back. Do you want me to handle it?" He asked. "Absolutely not!" Gloriosa whispered. "I've got this!" She said, walking away. And Sunset heard internal screaming. "Fluttershy, enough with the screaming!" Sunset said. "I didn't scream." Fluttershy said. "For once." Rainbow Dash said. Then she was smacked lightly in the head by Gohan. "Ow, hey!" She yelled. "Nobody did." Rarity said. "Huh?" Sunset asked, genuinely confused. A voice came on the P.A. "Attention, campers! Anyone who's interested in making floating paper lanterns, please meet us by the picnic tables." Celestia said. "I don't know about the rest of y'all, but I've been lookin' forward to comin' here for a year. Maybe we forget about this "new magic" for a bit and just try to focus on enjoyin' our time at camp?" Applejack asked. "I was oh, so excited about designs I've come up with for the camp fashion show." Rarity said. "And I've barely gotten to whoop ANYBODY in tetherball." Rainbow Dash said. "The only people who can are us." Applejack said. "Oh yeah?" Rainbow Dash asked. "I mean, I not questioning Gohan, but you six are gonna go down in tetherball!" She said. "I think we should try to figure it out. But if letting it go for now is what the rest of you want..." Sunset said. Everyone but Gohan, Sunset and Twilight pretty much said: "Yes." 'Maybe I should ask Gohan about this...' Sunset thought. 'Can Gohan give me answers?' She heard in a Twilight voice. "Did you say something?" Sunset asked. "I didn't." Twilight said. 'I could've sworn I heard her say- Oh, whatever.' Sunset thought. *** Everyone was making lanterns. Celestia, Luna, and Gloriosa were chatting. "Who's the boy who can fly?" Gloriosa asked. "Son Gohan." Luna said. "He is a rare student..." Celestia said. "Sometimes he and his brother just walk around the school with new hair colors." Luna said. "And his tail changes with it too." Celestia said. "But, he is an honors student. He and Twilight Sparkle are tied for number 1 when it comes to academics. He's the face of CHS, practically." Luna said. Speaking of whom... He and the Humane 7 sans Twilight were at a table. He was making a lantern with Shenron and the seven dragon balls on it. Twilight was sitting alone with Spike. "Hey, Twilight, why aren't you with everyone else?" Spike asked. "Sunset said something at camp is causing the other girls to get new magic. I think it's Midnight Sparkle. She's still part of me. I can feel it. And I think her magic is infecting my friends." Twilight said. "You sure? If you really want to check if Midnight Sparkle's coming back, maybe you should go to him." Spike said, pointing at Gohan. "That's a great idea! He could beat Midnight Sparkle again!" Twilight said. "Spike, you're a genius!" She added. "Genius?" Spike asked. "No, I think that's you." He said. Twilight was about to walk up to Gohan, but... "Okay, everyone! It's time to watch your lanterns fly!" Gloriosa said. "Hey, cool lanterns." Gohan said. "Thanks. What's yours?" Sunset asked. "Shenron and the seven dragon balls." Gohan said. "It looks really realistic." Rarity said. Everyone was walking to the dock to let their lanterns fly. Timber walked up to Twilight with his lantern. "Hey, cool lantern! Mine's my face." He said, putting it in front of his face. Twilight chuckled nervously. Then she walked away with a frown. Timber followed. "Uh... You okay?" He asked. Twilight nodded. "You don't seem like yourself tonight." Timber said. The two got to the docks where everyone lit their lanterns. "Ready? And... Go!" Gloriosa exclaimed. Everyone let loose their lanterns. And they all flew! ...Except Pinkie's. She covered it in too many marshmallows. "Aw!" She said. "Hey, I'll fly it." Gohan said. "Do it!" Pinkie said, handing it to Gohan. Gohan took it, ate a marshmallow and let it fly with his ki. The lanterns in the sky were beautiful... *** It was nighttime... Everyone was sleeping... Well, almost everyone. Gohan and Sunset were still awake. Well, Gohan came back to the tent at a bad time. He opened the flaps while Sunset was changing into her pajamas and... Well, she just got her camp clothes off. "AH!" Gohan yelled, blushing. "AH!" Sunset yelled, blushing. "I didn't mean to!" He yelled, running out. 'Well, he saw that much... Why'd he run away? I didn't threaten him.' Sunset thought, getting her other clothes on. 'Crapcrapcrapcrap!' Gohan thought, waiting outside the tent. 'Dear Kami, that was a bad time to walk in. Thank goodness Tien told me how to properly treat a woman... I think she would've thought of me as a pervert.' He thought. (Tien knows. He and Launch got together, and that was canon. End of Majin Buu saga.) 'And there's no way I would want that.' He thought. "Gohan?" Sunset asked, walking out with her daytime clothes on. "Did you get changed yet?" Gohan asked. "No, but... Well, are you okay? You just ran out." Sunset said. "I didn't want to see something so... Personal." Gohan said. "Well, it's okay." Sunset said. And Twilight was running away- What? Fluttershy didn't notice because he was asleep. "Well, you can go get changed aga- Is that Twilight?" Gohan asked, pointing at Twilight. Speaking of whom... She was running with all her packed things and Spike. "What the- What's she doing!?" Sunset asked, running after her. Gohan decided to follow. They ran into the forest, where Sunset lost her. Gohan pointed west. "That way!" He said. Sunset ran and he followed. Then they saw her. "Twilight?" Sunset asked. Twilight cut it short. She realized who else was there... And she turned around. "Twilight? What are you doing out here?" Sunset asked. "We're... we're meeting a cab to take us home." Twilight said. "She thought you'd talk her out of it." Spike said. "Because I- We would. Twilight, you can't leave." Sunset said. "Yeah, you really can't. It's not even a quarter of the way done!" Gohan said. Sunset put a hand on Twilight's shoulder and was about to speak, but... Her eyes glowed white, and she read her mind! *** "You don't think it was the spirit, do you!?" Pinkie asked. "No... It was me." Twilight muttered. *** "I think it's Midnight Sparkle. She's still part of me. I feel it! And I think her magic is infecting my friends!" Twilight said. *** She finally snapped out of it and removed her hand. "Twilight, there is no Midnight Sparkle. There's only you." Sunset said with a reassuring smile. "Midnight Sparkle? You thought she was back?" Gohan asked, trying to contain his laughter. "How did you know what I was thinking!?" Twilight asked. "When I touched your hand, I could see things. I could understand why you were leaving. My new magic...! This is my new magic! This is incredible!" Sunset said. "Good for you, Sunset!" Gohan said. "No, it's not! I'm infecting you now!" Twilight said. "Twilight, you have to stop looking at this as if it's a bad thing." Sunset said. "Easy for you to say. Magic turned you into something beautiful. The last time I tried to use it, it turned me into a monster. I'm just so afraid it's gonna happen again." Twilight said. "Twilight, you don't- Midnight Sparkle isn't even a part of you anymore!" Gohan said. "I- What?" Twilight asked. "What do you mean?" Sunset asked. "It's obvious Twilight has magic, but there is no way Midnight Sparkle is part of her. She BECOMES Midnight if she really wants to. Kind of like how I can go Super Saiyan, except Twilight isn't able to access it and isn't willing to. Plus, if she really was back, I would be able to see right through her plans. And- Heheh... Sorry, but her power level was just pitiful." Gohan said. "I.... Huh. Maybe you're right." Twilight said. "I know I turned into something amazing, but I've let magic turn me into a monster, too. Even he knows what that's like! So if anyone understands what you're going through, it's us. We can help you, Twilight. And the rest of our friends can be there for you, too. But not if you run away." Sunset said. Twilight sighed. "I'll stay... At least now I know Midnight Sparkle isn't a part of this at all." She said. "But we don't know why this is happening. I don't know if it's me or if it's something else, but to be safe, I would rather not be around our friends for this." Twilight said. "Understood." Gohan and Sunset said. "Hey, read me with your mind reading powers!" Gohan said. "Okay!" Sunset said, putting a hand on his shoulder. ... "Are you seeing it yet? Don't go so far back." Gohan said. "I'm not seeing anything... Let me try harder." Sunset said, straining. She strained so hard that- "AGH!" She yelled. There was an explosion on her forehead and she fell to the ground, grabbing it. "Are you alright?" Gohan asked. "Dang it... You're too strong for it! Ugh..." Sunset said, getting up and rubbing her head. Twilight couldn't help but giggle. Then everyone heard rustling. "What was that?" Sunset asked. "Timber." Gohan said. "Wha-" Sunset and Twilight said before they saw an axe from a bush. They both screamed. Sunset instinctively grabbed onto Gohan while Twilight grabbed onto Sunset. Then Timber screamed. "Wait... Twilight?" He asked. "Called it." Gohan said. "Timber? I'm so glad it's just you!" Twilight said, letting go of Sunset. Sunset let go of Gohan. "What are you doing here?" Twilight asked. "With an axe?" Sunset asked. "I was chopping down firewood." Timber said, pulling a cart full of logs. "In the middle of the night?" Sunset asked. "You couldn't have just asked me?" Gohan asked. "We needed more for tomorrow night's campfire. And you're too young for it. And if I didn't take care of it tonight, it would be one more thing Gloriosa would add to her list." Timber said. "I've got this!" He said, imitating Gloriosa. Everyone chuckled. "What about you three? Why are you hanging out in the middle of the woods in the middle of the night?" Timber asked. Twilight was hesitant to answer, but Gohan came up with an excuse. "Oh, they wanted me to teach them sensing energy. It would be a lot easier without so many signatures around them, so I was gonna take them to a secluded location." Gohan said. "What are you going on about?" Timber asked. "Ki sensing. It's not hard, you just pick up on the life energy of a person, animal, or any living thing that isn't a cyborg or a robot." Gohan said. "I didn't learn Chinese. Anyway, I'll take you back. You aren't supposed to be out here this late anyway. I'll protect you from... Gaea Everfree! Everfree, Eeeeverfreeee!" Timber said in a scary voice before smirking and crossing his arms. Sunset snickered. 'More like Gohan's protecting us...' She thought. "Come on. That's obviously just a spooky story you made up to tell around the campfire." Sunset said. "Oh no, it's legit." Timber said. "Timber, I know what's legit and not legit. A giant bug man who can destroy the solar system? Legit. Freaky alien genotype? Legit. Androids that can't lose energy no matter what? Legit. Being able to fly...?" Gohan asked, sitting in mid air. "Legit. Gaea Everfree? You need some proof on that one." Gohan said. "How else would you explain what happened at the docks? And that weird thing where the earth shook?" Timber asked. Gohan raised his finger. "I mean, there are three possibilities. One-" "That's enough, nerd." Sunset interrupted. Gohan pouted before putting his hand down. "Come on, I know a shortcut back to the tents." Timber said, holding his hand out to Twilight. Twilight took his hand and now they're holding hands. Ooh... Poor Flash. "You wanna try that?" Sunset whispered. "I guess." Gohan said, holding his hand out. As the two walked away Sunset noticed something, ignoring his hand. 'Magic...?' She thought. "Legit, huh?" She said. "You mean the small droplets of magic dropping on the ground?" Gohan asked. "You didn't even- How'd you know?" Spike asked. "I can sense magic, Spike. I just can't use it." Gohan said. Sunset got on one knee and lifted some magic. "I think we just found out Gaea Everfree." Sunset said. "Why would he work so hard to make us think it's real? Apart from a horrible storyline..." Gohan said. "Spike and I heard what he said about wishing his sister would sell this camp. If nobody wants to come here because it's home to some angry ancient nature spirit, it sure would help his cause." Sunset said, standing up. "We should tell Twilight." Spike said, about to go after her. "Not yet." Gohan said. "Yeah. She's obviously gone through a lot right now. We should probably be a hundred percent sure before we tell her the guy she likes is a jerk who's trying to run everybody out of camp." Sunset said. "I mean, the story adds up, but-" "NEEERRRRD!" Sunset yelled with a smirk. "And the memories come back once again." Gohan said with a half smile. *** Back in the Ruby tent... Sunset was in her pajamas, Gohan didn't have his shoes or wristbands on, and they were about to sleep. "Sunset?" He asked. "What's up?" Sunset asked. "I'd like to apologize again..." Gohan said. "You already said it, it's okay." Sunset said. "Are you sure?" Gohan asked. "Yeah, but I need you to do something for me as an apology." Sunset said, laying down under her blanket. "Yes?" Gohan asked. "Care to join me over here?" Sunset asked. "Um... W-Why?" Gohan asked, confused. "Just get over here." Sunset said, opening up the blanket. "Uh... O-Okay." Gohan said, getting up and moving. "Don't be shy, its natural." Sunset said. He slowly got under the covers with her. He blushed since he hadn't done this before, and it's a bit... close. Sunset brought him in for a hug, and he was still confused. "W-What's happening?" He asked. "It's CALLED cuddling." Sunset said, setting his head on her level. 'It feels nice... But feels too close...?' He thought. "How does it feel?" Sunset asked. Gohan lightly wrapped an arm around Sunset. "It feels good... Warm. I'm a bit confused..." He said. "You're innocence makes you so cute..." Sunset said, giggling. "O-Oh... It does?" Gohan asked, blushing a bit more. "Yeah..." Sunset said, kissing him. He still wasn't used to the euphoria from a kiss, but regardless he enjoyed it. He never really initiated a kiss, it was always her. It broke, and Sunset pulled his head under her chin. "Good night..." She said, kinda rubbing his hair a bit. "Good night." Gohan said. And with that, he fell asleep. And as soon as that happened.... Sunset's eyes glowed bright white and she saw his memories. *** Raditz just came to Kame House. "I'm taking your son." Raditz said. "No you're not!" Goku said. Raditz kneed Goku in the stomach and flew away with Gohan. "Ah! He took my son!" Goku said. *** "You killed... My... Best friend...!" Goku said. Namek. "That's funny! Hilarious, actually." Frieza said. "Mr. Piccolo! Get up!" A young Moe Howard said, trying to get Piccolo up. Lightning struck around them. "This... Ruffles my jammies...! HRRRRAAAGH- *squeak*." Goku screamed, turning Super Saiyan. Gohan looked in shock. "Take Piccolo and leave." Goku said. "'Kay." Gohan said. "Okay, so, what's going on here?" Frieza asked. Goku made his aura flare. "I AM A SUPER SANDWICH!" He yelled, punching Frieza in the face. "Argh! Prick!" Frieza yelled, throwing a death ball into Namek. "Uh oh! Spagettio-" BOOM! *** Broly movie. Gohan was flying around buildings in his Super Saiyan form. 'Don't worry Gohan. Just find that ship we came here on, grab everyone else and...' He thought before- Broly burst through the side of the building, charging at Gohan while laughing. 'I should apologize to Mom if I get home.' Gohan thought before Broly grabbed his face and threw him inside a building. Broly himself flew into that building and threw a green ki blast at Gohan. As soon as it hit, Gohan wasn't a Super Saiyan, and he was knocked into a building. A sharp part luckily held him by his weird scarf thingy, so he was stuck in the air. "Gohan!" Goku yelled, running after Gohan, but then Broly landed in front of him. He threw a powerful ki blast at him, sending him flying. Goku was on the ground now. "What's wrong Kakarot!? Don't you care if I kill your son!?" Broly asked. Goku sat up. "Eh... I'd rather you not...? I mean, we have dragon balls, but that's like... A whole day." He said to Broly. "But wait... He hasn't met King Kai." Goku said to himself. "Hey Gohan! You're gonna meet King Kai!" Goku yelled RIGHT before Broly threw another ki blast at him, sending him flying yelling: "EEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeee...!" *** Cell Games. Cell grabbed Gohan by his shirt and started pummeling him repeatedly. "Ow! D'oh! Ooh! Ah!" Gohan said as that happened. "Thinking of you, Goku!" Cell yelled. *** Cell was in his Semi Perfect form. He just regurgitated 18, and was self destructing as a last resort against a Super Saiyan 2 Gohan. He was laughing loudly. "Ten more seconds! I guess we'll call it a draw! Hahahah!" Cell yelled. Gohan was on his knees and his elbows in shame. 'I failed... Cell... He... He's won.' He thought with his head down. Goku just teleported in front of him and put his hand to Cell, surprising the two. He had two fingers to his forehead. He looked back at Gohan with a smile. "Hey. You put up a good fight, Gohan. I'm proud of you." He said. "W-What...? Daddy...?" Gohan asked. "Take care of your mother for me. She needs you. Tell her that I had to do this, Gohan." Goku said. Gohan realized what he was doing. "Goodbye, my son." Goku said. He turned to Cell with a serious face. And he vanished! Gohan rushed to where his father used to be, but it was too late. "NO, COME BACK!" He screamed. "GOKUUU!" Krillin screamed. Everyone was shocked at his unfortunate death. Gohan was on the ground again, crying his father. "Daddy... No...!" He cried. *** Those were but a few of what she saw. And she saw the betrayal parts and- Sunset finally snapped out of his memories. 'Too far, too far! I didn't want to do that! But I guess I know his stories are actually true, now.' She thought. 'But I don't think I'm gonna sleep through this night... That was just sad.' She thought. *** Applejack, Rainbow Dash and Gohan were fixing up the dock. Gohan was in his father's gi again. This time with the '飯' kanji on the back and the front. Which pretty much meant rice. And 飯田 means rice field. (WELCOME TO THE RICE FIELD MOTHERFU-) Rarity was sitting down, working in some clothing and Fluttershy threw some rope in the water. Rainbow Dash was tip toeing onto the dock with some wood. She didn't want to run into the water. Gohan was pressing nails in the wood with his fingers while Applejack used a hammer she made to slightly tap it. "Uh, you gonna give us a hand here, Rarity?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Oh, I'd love to, but I really need to get the stitching on this poncho done if it's going to make it into the camp fashion show. Though at the pace you two are moving, I don't know that the runway will ever be finished." Rarity said "The DOCK is our gift to the camp, and it's gonna get finished. That is, if Rainbow Dash would hurry up and bring me more wood." Applejack said. "Oh, I can't go any faster! I don't want to end up in the woods again." Rainbow Dash said. "Don't be silly." Applejack said. "Really?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Applejack... You're going super slow on the nails yourself because of your recently acquired strength. You don't want to smash the entire dock with it." Gohan said. "I know I said we should try to forget all about this new magic business, but I can't. How do you do it, Gohan?" Applejack asked. "Growth and practice. When I was trying to live a normal life for once, I kept breaking all my glasses and plates! Not to mention all the cutting boards and books I had gone through before I mastered it! It took me about a month to do that..." Gohan said. "A month!?" Everyone asked. "You guys have much weaker powers, it'll be much easier for you!" Gohan said. Applejack was gonna grab another nail, but... "Aw, shoot! I'm all out of nails." Applejack said. "Oh, here you go!" Pinkie said from behind, tossing the box of nails. "Pinkie, NO!" Everyone but Gohan yelled. Applejack took cover, Rarity caused her diamonds to appear simultaneously knocking Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy over and Gohan caught the nails in a hand. Applejack sighed when they didn't explode. And she shot Pinkie a mean look. "Whaaaat? Ohhh, did you think the nails would explode like the sprinkles? Wow! Glad that didn't happen, huh?" Pinkie said. Rarity came to Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash's aid. "Sorry, girls. I didn't mean to. I don't know how to control this." Rarity said. "It's okay." Rainbow Dash said. "Oh, none of us do." Fluttershy. "Which is why we shouldn't pretend this isn't happening." Sunset said from behind, walking up to them. "Do you have them now, too?" Rainbow Dash said. "Yeah, she does." Gohan said. "It started last night. When I touch people, it's like I can feel what they're feeling and see their memories." Sunset said. "Ooh! Fancy! Try me! Try me!" Pinkie said, hopping up and down. She grabbed Sunset's hand and put it on her forehead. *** There was a cavalcade of sugar treats and unicorns and mountains and a giant star with a boom box and I'm already cancer trying to write this, holy shit. Pinkie was skipping along the path. *** "That explains... So much." Sunset said. "Let me try!" Gohan said, putting his hand on her head. Then he took it away. "Oh. I see what you mean." Gohan said. "Yup!" Pinkie said. "Wait, did you get the same ability?" Rarity asked. "Wha- No! I haven't- or won't get it. I've been able to read minds for a while now." Gohan said. "Oh right." Rainbow Dash said. "Ooh! Ooh! Try him!" Pinkie said, pointing at Gohan. "No. No, NO!" Sunset said, backing away. "Why not?" Applejack asked. "The last time she tried, her forehead blew up." Gohan said. "No, that's not the reason! I saw everything!" Sunset said. "What? How?" Gohan asked. "When you fell asleep! I saw everything from you getting kidnapped by your uncle to you killing Santa to your father dying for the second time and-" "HE KILLED SANTA!?" Pinkie interrupted. "Me and my old friends did." Gohan said. "WHY!?" Pinkie said. "Because he was trying to subjugate the planet and kill everyone! The only good thing was that I was on the nice list." Gohan said. "And I saw... Well, the betrayal, I'll say." Sunset said. "Wha- Oh... You... Saw that?" Gohan asked. Sunset nodded. "I really wish you hadn't- Now you have the memories of- Oh my Kami, now I'm torturing you with that, aren't I?" Gohan asked. "No... But I had a hard time sleeping because of it." Sunset said. "So it's concluded. Gohan never lied." Rainbow Dash said. "Yep..." Sunset said. "Girls, we can't just brush these powers aside because it doesn't seem like the ideal time to get them. What if it turns out that they could actually make things better?" She asked. "And it would be great abilities to hone and possess in battle." Gohan said. *** Well, after a song and honing it, they all received a power up. 'Amazing... They're about as strong as Uncle Raditz! Wait, no... Maybe a tad weaker.' Gohan thought. Everyone also built the rest of the dock. Gohan didn't join the end of that song because... 'Why is this so dramatic?' He thought. *** Sunset and Gohan were heading to Twilight to get her to embrace the new magic like the rest of the Humane 7 did, but they heard arguing in the cabin. Gloriosa and Timber. "I just wish you didn't tell them that ridiculous story!" Gloriosa said behind the door. Sunset and Gohan got a closer hear. "Ah, this is all too much for you! You have to let it go!" Timber said. "I knew it! He wants her to get rid of camp!" Sunset whispered. And the door burst open, smashing into Sunset and they walked out. Not noticing the two. "Let's go." Sunset said. She jumped down the stairs but then she bumped into Flash by accident. "Sunset Shimmer? What were you doing behind that door with him?" Flash asked. "What? Uh..." Sunset said. She was about to say something completely false, but again, Gohan chipped in. "We're looking for my old belt. I think Pinkie hid it somewhere. She's helping me find it." Gohan said. "Well, it's good I bumped into you. I really wanted to thank you." Flash said. "F-For what?" Sunset asked. "Tough love. Telling me I needed to get over Twilight. I needed to hear that." Flash said. "Sure, no problem." Sunset said, looking a bit... Unusual for the moment. She was looking with her sight for Gloriosa and Timber. "Is something wrong?" Flash asked. "What? No. Why?" Sunset asked. "Come on, Sunset. We used to date. I know when something's bothering you." Flash said. Sunset sighed. "Okay, here's the deal. My friend really likes someone, but I don't think that someone is who she thinks they are. I don't wanna upset my friend by telling her what I think, because I also want to protect her, because if what I think is happening is really happening, then she deserves to know. You know?" She asked. Flash was just confused by that statement. Even Gohan was just blown away by that statement. "I think what she's trying to say is: She wants to tell her friend the truth, but doesn't want to hurt her feelings in the process." Gohan said, jumping down from the few stairs. "Oh." Flash said. "You get it?" Sunset asked. "Not really... But what I DO know is that she's lucky to have a friend like you to look out for them." Flash said. "Really?" Sunset asked. "Yeah! Y'know, you've changed a lot since we went out. You're a lot... Nicer. It's a no brainer why he's dating you." Flash said. 'Well, his cluelessness for one...' Sunset thought. "Thanks... I'm glad you noticed." Sunset said. "Uh, look, maybe you and me, we could start over as... friends." Flash said. But Sunset saw Timber running into the forest. "Uh, uh, sounds great. I gotta go!" She said, running after him. Flash felt like he was rejected Friendship... "Don't take it the wrong way, she just had to do something. I'm 100% sure she'd love to reconnect with you. I mean, she wants to confront her past." Gohan said. "Oh, okay." Flash said. "I'll make sure she gets to hanging out with you later, okay?" Gohan asked. "Sure, that sounds cool." Flash said. "Okay. ... I guess I'll go then." Gohan said, walking away. "Wait." Flash said. "Hmm?" Gohan asked. "You seem like a cool guy. You wanna hang out sometime?" Flash asked. "Sure thing. I could always hang out with a guy who isn't my brother for once." Gohan joked before heading back to the dock. *** Timber was walking through the forest, making sure nobody's following. Sunset was, obviously. But he didn't catch her. He went to a cave, and magic was in that there hills. "Aha!" Sunset said, pulling out her phone. *** Twilight got to the rock quarry. Where Sunset was waiting. She brought Spike along. "What's going on down there!?" Twilight asked. "I think it's Gaea Everfree. Or rather, someone who wants us to think she's back. C'mon!" Sunset said, walking into that quarry. Twilight followed. "Whoa..." Sunset said as they went into the cave. It was littered with Equestrian magic! "This place is beautiful." Twilight said. "There's Equestrian magic here. I can... I can feel it." Sunset said. "Wait. I thought Timber was just faking there was a magical nature creature. Are you saying it's real?" Spike asked. "Timber? What does he have to do with any of this?" Twilight asked. "Nothing..." A voice came. Gloriosa emerged from the shadows. "It's all me..." She said with a twitched eye grin. "Gloriosa? But... Timber. I was sure HE was the one trying to make it seem like Gaea Everfree was back. It was YOU who was trying to scare everyone away?" Sunset asked. Gloriosa walked closer to them, and past them. "I would never try to scare anyone away from Camp Everfree." She said in a calm voice. Sunset grabbed her arm and saw her memories! *** Filthy Rich was going to take over the land and turn it into a spa. Gloriosa begged to keep it as a camp. Filthy Rich would give her until the end of the month to pay her bills. Gloriosa cried, wondering what she would do.... Until she found the rock quarry. With seven geodes of magic. She accidentally took five and attained magical powers. Timber tried to warn her about the dangers of it, but Gloriosa insisted. Gloriosa tried all week to make this the best week ever before Everfree had to ultimately shut down. However, her failed attempts only made it worse. Timber told the story of Gaea Everfree to cover for her, but she didn't want it to be that way. *** Sunset let go of her hand. "Timber wasn't talking about letting go of the camp." Sunset said. "He was talking about you letting go of the magical geodes! All those things you were doing to make this week the best week ever. Every time you used magic to do them, you caused another problem somewhere else! Timber was... covering for you!" She said, cornering Gloriosa against the remaining geodes. "How do you know what I was doing with the geodes? How do you know about the magic?" Gloriosa asked. "I can see things. Feel things. Because I have magic, too. And so does she. And so do our friends." Sunset said. "Gloriosa, Timber wasn't wrong. Maybe you should stop using magic. Too much of it can be dangerous if you can't control it." Twilight said. "Oh, I got this. And I'm going to use it to save my camp. I just need more power!" Gloriosa said, grabbing the remaining geodes. "No!" Sunset and Twilight yelled. Gloriosa trapped them in vines! Gloriosa turned into something resembling Gaea Everfree! https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/mlp/images/7/7e/Gloriosa_Daisy_transformed_ID_EG4.png/revision/latest?cb=20161003183220 "Sorry, girls. I know what I need to do. But I feel like we're not on the same page. So..." She said. Sunset made her white aura flare to get the vines off her. "You can't!" She yelled as she smashed her fist into Gloriosa's face. No damage. Gloriosa used a vine to flick Sunset back to where she was. "What are you trying to do?" Gloriosa asked. Sunset jumped back at Gloriosa and threw many more punches in vain. Twilight was scared. "Are you trying to stop my plans to keep this camp for all of us!? With your pitiful 'magic!?'" Gloriosa asked. Sunset jumped back and ponied up. "My magic will beat yours, I know it!" She yelled, charging at Gloriosa. However, her power level was still much weaker, and she was punched into the wall. "Sunset!" Twilight said. Sunset burst out of the wall with a tear on her sleeve. She fired many ki blasts at Gloriosa as she ran closer. Gloriosa used her vines to stop all of the ki blasts and whack Sunset away. Sunset wasn't done, though. She performed parkour around the vines to get closer. But Gloriosa eventually caught her by her foot and she tripped. Twilight tried aiding her with her own inferior ki blasts. Just barely snapping the vines. But Gloriosa had enough and really put an end to this. Gloriosa used her vines to restrain Twilight completely. Then she picked up Sunset with her vines and hurled her right through a pillar and into a wall. She was downed, and was no longer ponied up. "Sunset!" Twilight said. She put Spike in vines. "Sorry, but I have to save my camp." Gloriosa said, flying out of the quarry. "Gloriosa!" Twilight yelled. Sunset was hurt badly, and it hurt to move. Twilight was restrained by the vines, and so was Spike. They couldn't chase her. Gloriosa shut the rock quarry to permanently end it. "NO!" Twilight yelled. *** Gloriosa was floating towards the dock. Gohan felt her presence and got into a serious mode. 'What happened to Sunset? Twilight feels like she's restrained and- Gloriosa? What happened to her?' Gohan thought. The music during the fashion show cut. Everyone noticed Gloriosa in her new form. "Attention, campers!" Gloriosa said. "It's Gaea Everfree!" Trixie yelled. "She's real!" Flash yelled. "Oh no! We're doomed!" Bulk Biceps yelled. "Gloriosa!" Gohan and Timber yelled. "What are you doing!?" Timber asked. "That's Gloriosa? Am I crazy or is she Gaea Everfree?" Applejack asked. "That's Gloriosa alright. With more magic than ever before." Gohan said. "I have an announcement to make! Filthy Rich wants this to be the last session of Camp Everfree. But don't worry, I'VE GOT THIS!" Gloriosa yelled. By she got this, she really meant it. She just trapped the entire camp in vines. Or, area actually. Destroying the dock, too. "Oh, come on! We literally just finished building that!" Rainbow Dash yelled. "Gloriosa, let everyone go! I don't want to intervene!" Gohan yelled. Instead she added more vines and shit. Some of the students ran into the cabin, along with the principals. Gloriosa just locked them in with her vines. Timber, trying to break free, tried cutting the vines with an axe. But Gloriosa just sent it to the sky. She trapped students in the courtyard, and the remaining were Gohan, Timber, and the rest of the Humane 7. The entire area was covered in vines. "I would say try to break it for training, but this has gone way past your limits. I can't let you guys handle this." Gohan said. "What do you mean?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Your enhanced abilities will do nothing. Even Friendship might not stand up to Gloriosa... Probably because she used seven elements- What?" Gohan asked. Seven elements? Get outta here! "So what are we supposed to do?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Stay back." Gohan said. "What? No! We gotta use these powers!" Rainbow Dash said. "I'm with her!" Pinkie said, pulling out a container of sprinkles. "Yeah, we can take her!" Applejack said. "No, I'm not repeating the same mistake. Last time you all nearly died!" Gohan said. Gloriosa started trapping Gohan in vines. He broke free instantly by just casually moving. "Don't be scared!" Rainbow Dash yelled, ponying up. Everyone else ponied up as well. Gohan started blasting the vines trying to protect the students. "You can't! Just avoid them!" He yelled. Rainbow Dash started flying around to kill the vines, and Applejack was able to use boulders and such to hurl at the vines. "What is this? I thought I absorbed all magic!" Gloriosa said. "We've had magic long before this!" Pinkie yelled, throwing sprinkle grenades. "And I don't use magic!" Gohan said while kicking some more vines away. "Gloriosa, you have to stop!" Timber yelled. "Stop? Why? Filthy Rich will be back. With this, he'll never be back!" Gloriosa said. "THIS ISN'T WORKING!" Applejack said. All the students were now getting trapped by the vines, and no matter what the Humane 5 did... The vines just grew back. *** Spike bit Twilight's vines and finally got it cut! Twilight managed to break free. "Sunset Shimmer!" Twilight said, rushing to her. "Is she okay?" Spike asked. "I'm not dead..." Sunset said before coughing. "Gloriosa must be powerful!" Twilight said. "Then let's save everyone while we can!" Spike said. "I don't know if I can walk right now..." Sunset said weakly. Twilight nodded and carried Sunset in her arms. But first, the boulders... Twilight set Sunset down and punched the boulder! Nothing. "Ow! Dang it!" Twilight said, grabbing his hand. "Use your magic!" Spike said. "But I..." Twilight said. "There's no time, Twilight! It's now or never!" Spike said. "I don't think I can lift something that big!" Twilight said. "It's our only chance of getting out of here and helping our friends." Sunset said. Twilight realized that there isn't really any argument against that, so she tried it. She pointed her palms at the rock and used her magic. It was moving! The boulder was moving! Twilight had a blue glow on her forehead. And after much straining and sweat, she got the boulder to move! She was about to collapse from exhaustion but an injured Sunset caught her before that. *** "Why are you fighting me?! I'm doing this to save our camp! I'm doing this for you!" Gloriosa yelled. "I'm all for Camp Everfree and all, but I have a life." Rainbow Dash said. "I have a little brother at home, and he can't defend Equestria forever!" Gohan said. "I'm here to defend you from losing Camp Everfree, don't you see?" Gloriosa asked. She trapped everyone in the vines! Including Gohan! Magic didn't work, and the Humane 5 were stuck! Well, Rarity used her diamonds to burst free. Vines kept regenerating! Gohan's hand stuck out of one of the vine barriers, and it exploded to pieces, shocking Gloriosa. "This isn't how it works, Gloriosa. In fact- This is very familiar. What happened? Oh right! She lost. Now history is repeating itself at this point. With your accumulated mass, and with the force of my attacks you'll go down harder than you ever have before!" Gohan yelled. Gloriosa started to fly upwards. "Gloriosa, this isn't the way!" Timber yelled. "I appreciate your concern, Timber, but I GOT THIS!" Gloriosa yelled, trapping Timber. "Agh! No, you don't!" Timber said, trying to break free. "Please, Gloriosa! What you're doing is crazy! You have to listen to me!" He said. "She isn't Gloriosa anymore. She's a shell of her former self." Gohan said. While the Humane 5 were breaking more vines, they couldn't save anyone. And the vines just got worse. Too worse. The Humane 5 were just engulfed again, and Rarity's diamonds wouldn't break it this time. 'Dear Kami, she's at her limit. And she really lost her mind, too. Goten could handle her, but that is powerful.' Gohan thought. *** Twilight just opened the vines with her magic, struggling to just keep it open. She even had some glow on her forehead again. She and a limping Sunset came in. Gohan saw the damaged Sunset... "Sunset!?" He asked, jumping over to her. "What... What did you do to her!?" Gohan yelled. "Her? She was getting in the way of my plans with her inferior magic, and now nobody can stop me!" Gloriosa said. Gohan clenched his fists tight and turned to Gloriosa. "You made a huge mistake, Gloriosa!" He yelled. The ground trembled, and small pebbles around them started to fly. The rage was so intense that the students inside vines could feel it. Vines started to wrap around him. "YOU HURT MY SUNNY!" Gohan screamed, full of anger. He had an intense red aura. 'Sunny...?' Sunset asked. Gohan's rage just broke. It turned yellow, then he turned Super Saiyan 2. The vines around him disintegrated. "YOU'RE GONNA PAY!" Gohan screamed before instantly jumping up to Gloriosa. 'Oh no...!' Sunset thought. Gloriosa was surprised and overwhelmed by this sudden speed. Gohan's rage face meant business. He punched her right in the jaw! He actually knocked a tooth out. He didn't stop- He'll never stop! Gohan pummeled Gloriosa endlessly. "ATATATATATATATATATATA!" He screamed before elbowing her down to the ground. Gloriosa landed on her back, leaving a small crater. Gohan still wasn't done. He fucking dropkicked her, full speed and force! She coughed. 'Damn, he's pulverizing her!' Twilight thought. The vines on the outside were starting to die down. Gohan jumped off and picked Gloriosa up by her hair. Her feet were still touching the ground. He smashed his fist into her stomach, making her cough more. More vines died down. Sunset tried getting closer to Gohan in an attempt to stop him. Twilight put a hand on her shoulder. "Sunset, Gohan will handle this." She said. "No, he'll torture her and maybe kill her!" Sunset said, standing on her feet. Gohan repeated the action numerous times. With every punch, his pupils slowly got shorter. He ended it with one more punch, sending Gloriosa flying. Some more vines died. Gloriosa recovered in the air, and tried summoning vines to stop- She was just punched in the face with a vine covered fist which broke off right after. Gohan grabbed her foot and started spinning her around at breakneck speeds. "HAAAAAAAAA...!" Gohan kept screaming. His pupils just disappeared. You know, kind of like Broly. "What do you mean he'll kill her!?" Twilight asked. "He would never stoop down that low!" She said. "I read his mind, remember?" Sunset asked, slowly, and I mean slowly limping closer. "He's told us before. He's an absolute sadist when he's angry." Sunset said. "And I saw it. He's going to do unimaginable things to her before finally killing her. We have to stop him!" Sunset said. Gohan hurled Gloriosa at the vines containing his friends. "Huh...? We're out? Did we win?" Pinkie asked. "Not yet! What happened to his eyes!?" Applejack asked. "He's going to kill her..." Sunset said, limping towards the five. Twilight was helping her. "Sunset! What happened to you!?" Rarity asked. "I'm guessing this is why Gohan yelled 'My Sunny!' Or something." Rainbow Dash said. "That was a bit funny, though." Applejack said. Then Gohan came flying down, blinding them with the wind. He charged at Gloriosa while she was still down and grabbed her hand. "I think his rage broke." Pinkie said. He threw her up to the sky and threw three ki blasts at her. "GOHAN! Calm down!" Sunset screamed. He ignored her. He teleported behind Gloriosa to send her down to the ground with a double axe handle. She landed beside a contained teen that was just freed. Timber... "Gloriosa...? Gloriosa!" He yelled, coming to her aid. "What happened to you!?" He asked. She was down. For real. "KAMEHAME..." Gohan yelled, charging up the most powerful Kamehameha he's ever used in between his hands. "NO!" The Humane 7 all screamed. "No, stop!" Timber yelled. "GET OUT OF THE WAY!" Gohan barked. "You don't understand! I wouldn't be able to live with myself if she died!" Timber yelled. Then Gohan started regaining his sanity. 'Wait... This is Gloriosa. She's just like Twilight...' He thought. The blast in between his hands disappeared. "Gohan, you need to calm down!" Sunset said. Gohan looked to Sunset with his pupilless eyes. "I'm okay!" She said. Before Twilight helped her stay standing. Then his blue irises came back. He was realizing how needlessly he was brutalizing Gloriosa. He was reasoning with her... And lost his trade of thought. Completed with anger. Damn, he really lost it. "Dang, I lost my temper." He muttered. "You need to come down here!" Applejack said. "And get out of Super Saiyan 2! Or whatever you just did!" Pinkie said. Gohan went back to base form and lowered himself to the ground. "Oh my goodness..." Fluttershy said. "I think his rage and his guilt just broke." Rainbow Dash said. "No. I'm guilty, but that didn't break. But oh no... That is not good." Gohan said. "Are you okay?" Twilight asked. "I'm not hurt... But..." Gohan said, turning to 'Sunny.' "Are you okay?" He asked. "I'll be fine." Sunset said. Gohan rushed to Gloriosa. Timber was at Gloriosa's side. "How are we going to fix her?" He asked. "After we get her out of this... Form, I'll get her a senzu bean." Gohan said. "Then how are we going to get her out?" Timber asked. Gohan reached for the geodes on her and pulled as 'hard' as he could. The Humane 7 all came to her. With Twilight helping Sunset. "How are we gonna fix her?" Applejack asked. Gohan fell over on his bottom. "Well, I can't get that off her." He said. "Then how are we gonna get rid of her!?" Twilight asked. "I think I know the solution. Magic." Gohan said. "What are you- No... No." Twilight said. "What do you mean, 'No.'?" Sunset asked. "If I use too much magic, Midnight Sparkle will take over!" Twilight said. "Twilight, you're too pure to become Midnight again. Try to think of her as a separate entity at this point, because your magic can be used for good!" Gohan said. "And if you don't, all those students will die!" Sunset said. "And even if Midnight happens to come back..." Gohan said, turning Super Saiyan. "I'll dispatch of her in five seconds." He said. Timber looked surprised at his hair. "H-How did you...?" He asked. Twilight decided she would do it. Gohan held Sunset to stay standing, and Twilight got ready. She aimed her hands at Gloriosa's geode necklace. And started to use the magic... She was struggling to get them off. They weren't budging! "Twilight, you have to be strong!" Sunset said, grabbing her arms. An orange glow surrounded her hands. In that moment, Sunset ponied up and Twilight's blue glow turned into a horn and some weird glasses Midnight used to have. Her eyes went white. "Oh. I was wrong. Midnight Sparkle is actually part of her." Gohan said. *** Twilight was in her mind. And heard the laughter of Midnight. 'Remember... She's not me!' Twilight thought. "You will never control me! I will always be a part of you!" Midnight yelled. "You will never be a part of me again!" Twilight yelled. Midnight was able to turn herself into a life size version of herself. "You can't stop me, I'll be the one who takes over!" She said. "No!" Twilight yelled, firing ki blasts at Midnight. Midnight floated closer as the ki just disintegrated around her. "What!?" Twilight asked. "It's futile, Twilight Sparkle!" Midnight yelled, firing magic from her palms at Twilight. Twilight crossed her arms in an attempt to block the intense attack. It was too much and she was knocked away and the blast died. "You're powerless. Give up!" Midnight yelled. She forced herself into Twilight. Okay, don't take that the wrong way. "No.... I can't!" Twilight said, getting wings, eyes and a horn that resembled Midnight's. "Exactly!" Gohan said. "Huh?" Twilight asked. Projections of her close friends started appearing around her. "Twilight, listen to me! You are in charge!" Sunset said. "You are a light, darling! A force for good!" Rarity said. "Yeah! You can kick the darkness's butt!" Rainbow Dash said. "You're in control. Remember that!" Gohan said. "We're here for you, Twilight!" Pinkie said. "And we'll be here, no matter what!" Applejack said. "We believe in you!" Fluttershy said. "You... are not... Midnight Sparkle!" Sunset said. "No... I... Am...Twilight Sparkle! And the magic I carry inside me is... the Magic of Friendship!" Twilight yelled, freeing herself from Midnight. *** Twilight ponied up, and had a huge burst of energy! She removed the geodes! "Alright!" Rainbow Dash said. And the geodes... They all floated to their respective owners. The Elements of Harmony! Everyone got one! *snicker* Except Gohan... How unfortunate. Now all of a sudden the Humane 7 got new looks! All the while gaining EVEN more power! Their wings turned spikey, and then most of their hair just shrunk. Sunset was healed completely. The seven got together in the air. Then suddenly... "Wait, why am I being pulled into this!?" Gohan asked as he was pulled into the group. They all got together to unleash the true, hidden power of Friendship to blast all the vines away! Gloriosa was normal again... Completely healed, too. "You did it!" Timber said. The students were all freed. Green sparkles of magic were falling everywhere. One fell on Gloriosa, and she woke up. "What... What happened?" She asked as she got up. "It's okay. It's gonna be okay." Timber said, hugging her. The Humane 7 all floated down to the ground. "All right!" Gohan said. Everyone cheered for them. Spike ran up to Twilight. "You did it!" He said. Then he noticed Twilight's new pendant. "Whoa... Nice bling." He said. In fact, each of them had pendants. Each representing their cutie marks in the other world. Okay, this time Gohan gets one as well. What was it...? A black pendant with the kanji '悟' engraved into it. It had a strange feeling. Compared to the others ones. The other ones had the magic of Friendship in them. This wasn't an exception, but... 'Why am I feeling a whole lot of dad from this?' He thought. But, that was for another time. "Wow... You all look great!" Gohan said. 'Especially Sunset, for some reason.' He thought. "What... What are these?" Applejack asked. "I'm not sure. But clearly we have some kind of connection to them." Sunset said. "Obviously. Look at you all! You're all so much stronger than before! This is like a hidden potential you guys had all along!" Gohan said. "And even you have one!" Sunset said. "But I didn't even get a geode..." Gohan said, inspecting his. "I almost don't care what they are. They are gorgeous!" Rarity said. Then she gasped. "And will totally go with the other collection I was working on for the camp fashion show!" She said. Then she turned to Gloriosa. "That's probably cancelled, isn't it?" She asked. *** Everyone was fixing up the camp. Mainly the dock. Gohan doing the most work with the Humane 7 in second. He was also not a Super Saiyan anymore. Gloriosa walked up to the principals. "I am so sorry. I only wanted this to be the best week Camp Everfree has ever had, and instead I've made it the worst. Maybe it's for the best that I'm losing the camp to Filthy Rich." Gloriosa said. "No. Its not!" Celestia said. "This camp has meant so much to so many people, my sister and me included." She said. "Why do you think we wanted our students to come here?" Luna asked. "We can't let Filthy Rich take this place away!" Twilight said. "If camp meant so much to you two, maybe it meant as much to the other campers who came here in years past." She said. "And maybe we can get them to help save it!" Sunset said. Applejack stuck a piece of wood in the ground. "Oh! Like a fundraiser?" She asked. "A ball!?" Rarity asked. "Our band could play!" Rainbow Dash said. "I could write a new song just for the occasion!" Fluttershy said. "And I can provide stage effects!" Gohan said. The students were all agreeing. "Those are all good ideas, but where would we hold it?" Gloriosa asked. "We could hold it in the crystal cave!" Sunset said. Rarity gasped. "A crystal ball!?" She asked. "I admire everyone's enthusiasm. Really, I do. But I-I just don't know how we're going to plan a ball by tomorrow and invite everyone." Gloriosa said. "We got this!" Gohan and the Humane 7 all said. *** After tons of planning, setting up, and singing, it was done. A concert! Gohan liked that song, but still preferred the 'Shine Like Rainbows.' Twilight was singing too. Gohan wasn't really for the new dresses, but whatever. In the end... Gohan jumped onstage to hug Sunset. "That was amazing!" He said. "Glad you liked it!" Sunset said. "Why don't you kiss 'Sunny,' eh Gohan?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Oh come on, I was angry!" Gohan said. "I really like the nickname." Sunset said with a smile. Gloriosa walked up to the stage. With a new dress and everything! "Thank you all so much for coming! And for helping us raise enough money to... save Camp Everfree!" Gloriosa said with so much joy. Everyone cheered. Filthy Rich walked away from the concert. Then she turned to the Humane 7 and Gohan. "Thank you. For everything. Oh, if I'd just asked for help in the first place..." She said. "Hey, don't sweat it, it's kinda what we do." Rainbow Dash said. "And you... Gohan, right?" Gloriosa asked. Gohan nodded. "Thank you for stopping me when I... Well, turned. I'm really sorry for what I did." Gloriosa said. "Don't be sorry. In fact, I should apologize. I shouldn't have brutalized you like that. I didn't even have to use that much power against you, I was seriously going full throttle." Gohan said. "But I'm still confused why your hair changed." Gloriosa said. "I'll explain it to you another time. For now, let's just call it Super Saiyan. And my spikier hair is called a Super Saiyan 2." Gohan said. *** Now it was prom 2.0 going on, jeez. A ball, basically. Gohan wasn't wearing any suit. Twilight was putting some lights together... "Not to brag or anything, but it's pretty cool how I saved all those campers from those Rubus fruticosus." Timber said from behind. He was wearing a suit. "Blackberry brambles." He said. "I'm familiar with the genus. It's just a little weird you say you saved the campers. I thought I saved them. Or actually, Gohan did." Twilight said. "Yeah. But I saved you from falling on the docks so that you could save the campers. So technically, it was all me." Timber joked. Twilight giggled. "I'm really glad I met you." She said. ... "Uh oh." Timber said. "What?" Twilight asked. "That sounds like a goodbye. And here I was hoping we'd still be able to hang out. Maybe get dinner and catch a movie?" Timber said with a blush. Ooh... Twilight blushed. Even better! "Yeah, I'd really like that!" Twilight said. "Oh, good! I was hoping that's what this meant." Timber said. Twilight grabbed his hand. The two got really close... Close! And they were about to kiss!!!!!!!1!1!!! .... Then all of a sudden Gloriosa jumped in, ruining the fucking moment! Damn it! "Oh, uh..." She said before laughing nervously. "Sorry. I need to borrow Timber. There are some donors I really want him to meet. They were good friends with Mom and Dad." She said. The two walked away. Timber looked over his shoulder. "Save me a dance, okay?" He said. "Uh huh!" Twilight said. The rest of the Humane 7 sans Rainbow Dash were right behind her. Also Gohan. "Adorable!" Rarity said. "Well, we know you picked one over the other." Gohan said. "He does seem like a pretty cool guy." Sunset said. Rainbow Dash zipped in with her super speed. "You know what else is cool? Our awesome new superpowers!" Rainbow Dash said. "Definitely." Gohan said. Then she explained how she was able to do everything she could. Gohan started to stray away from that. He started to inspect his new pendant. 'This is weird. Why is there a huge feeling of dad in this?' He thought. 'It's got his first kanji on it... Well, that's my first kanji too, but I wear a '飯', not a '悟'. But why did I get a pendant in the first place? I'm no element of Harmony. I didn't get any geode either. Oh, wait, it might because of the Cutie map. Well, there's no other reason it could be here.' He thought. Then it started to glow yellow all of a sudden. "What the heck...?" Gohan muttered. There was a whole lot of Goku to be felt right there. It died down and it was normal again. 'What was that?' Gohan thought. *** Well, the rest of Camp Everfree went by and Gohan was heading home! Well, not without the dock being destroyed ONE MORE FUCKING TIME by Pinkie. But yeah... That's it. Author's Note This has to be the second longest chapter I will ever write. I fell asleep and woke up to just post it right now. I really tried on the romance, but I don't think it ended up well. What do you think? And I'm sure you can tell I used Vegeta's anger in this one. Except it wasn't the exact same, I *spoilers*. Anyway, power level time! Because it's my favorite time waster just under this!

Broly: The Third Coming (Gettin Real Tired of Your Shit, Broly) Pt. 1In space, a body was floating. It kept revolving around the sun harboring Equestria. This body wasn't a dead body. It was alive, just near the brink of death two years ago. It was healed, but stuck in a coma. It seems as if it were about to last forever. With nothing in thoughts, ever. Can't even hear a word. Who was this person...? How is this person even alive? How was he at the brink of death? He was actually at the brink of death twice. What was his name? His name... Is Broly. The Legendary Super Saiyan. Why is he here? Eleven years ago, Broly had emerged to Goku as the Legendary Super Saiyan. He lost, and he was thought to be dead. However... Seven years after that... Broly had actually survived. He landed on Earth, where he fell into a coma. But... All it took was Goten's crying, and- Broly was awake. It took everything from Gohan and Goten to just barely stop Broly. He understood that the Legendary Super Saiyan is a huge threat. Eventually, with the combined effort of Gohan, Goten and nonexistent Goku... Broly was beaten once more with a strong Bros Kamehameha. That blast was aimed at the Sun to destroy Broly once and for all. However... By sheer luck, that blast missed the Sun. It went far away from that. The blast eventually died down, and Broly orbited around a new star. Called yet another sun. And he fell into a deep coma. In the vacuum of space. Seems like he'll never wake up. But... Suddenly, against all odds... In the vacuum of space... Broly is awake. How? As soon as Gohan obtained his pendant, it was enough for Broly. Broly could sense Kakarot. Goku. He could feel him. Broly heard the cries of his almost hated enemy... Kakarot. "Uwah!" He heard. The cries... Oh, how they enraged him so. "Kakarot..." He muttered. Broly managed to move his body. It's been too long since he moved, and his muscles were almost frozen. His movements created crushing sounds that were lost in space. He got himself up, and let his yellow aura flare! "Kakarot!" He yelled. His power wasn't strong enough to be felt, but he wasn't at full power. "Just you wait...! I can easily locate the presence of your energy!" He yelled. His anger was real. His power was growing greater than before. Once he can channel it... Broly powered up enough that a sphere enveloped him. This sphere started heading for Equestria. Slowly... But surely. While his power was returning. *** The Humane 7, Spike and the Saiyans were in front of the portal having a picnic. Sunset stretched. "A nice summer day, hanging out with your friends, and best of all, you close your eyes and fall right into your boyfriend's arms." She said, doing a trust fall. "My hands are full." Gohan said, with a chicken leg in his mouth, another in his hand, a bowl of noodles in the other, a bowl of fried rice on the side of his thigh and dumplings right at his crossed feet. Sunset fell on her back and hit her head. "Ow!" She said. "Are you okay?" Goten asked. "Perfect boyfriend." Rainbow Dash joked. Fluttershy uncharacteristically smacked her in the back of the head. "Did Applejack give you a lesson or something?" Rainbow Dash asked to Fluttershy, rubbing her head. "No. But that wasn't nice." Fluttershy said. "Sorry." Gohan said, putting his noodles down and helping Sunset up. "It's fine... I should've asked first." Sunset said, rubbing her head. Gohan started devouring his food. "Who made this?" He asked, before he swallowed some noodles. "I made your portion of the meal... My kitchen is a mess." Sunset said. "I bet. We made our food." Rainbow Dash said. "You're a great cook!" Gohan said, drinking some soup. "Thanks!" Sunset said. "I agree!" Goten said, eating some of her dumplings. "It's better than mine!" Gohan said, eating some rice. Sunset was flattered and blushed. "Kinda like how mom used to make food, right Goten?" Gohan asked, not done with his plate. "Yup!" Goten said. Halfway through... It's as if something snapped. 'What the heck is that mind boggling ki?' He thought. "Gohan, what is that?" Goten asked. "What is what?" Applejack asked. "This mind boggling ki... Is it... Broly?" Gohan asked, putting his unfinished plate down. "Broccoli? Hey, I hate those!" Goten said. "Not Broccoli, Goten." Gohan said. "Is something wrong?" Sunset asked. "Yes. Very much so." Gohan said, wiping his face with his arm. "What's wrong?" Goten asked. "It's Broly... I think." Gohan said. "Wait, you mean that guy?" Pinkie asked. "He dragged you across a building before throwing a blast at you that was repelled by Piccolo?" Sunset asked. "T-The ki is very similar, yes. Only stronger, this time." Gohan said. Remember, she now knows every detail Gohan knows about his past. "I'm confused." Goten said. "You weren't there for it, darling." Rarity said. "You guys have to stay back." Gohan said. "Y-You're serious..." Sunset said. "I am. It's too dangerous for you all. Most notably Goten. Don't follow me. I'll be back." Gohan said, flying away. *** Broly landed in a wasteland. "Kakarot... I will bathe in your blood." He muttered. He felt Gohan's ki, and mistook it for Goku. Broly grinned evilly. "It looks like Kakarot has come to die!" He said before laughing. He started jumping from tall rock formation to tall rock formation. *** Gohan was in a wasteland, standing still. Broly was approaching, and fast. He eventually landed, leaving tons of rubble in his wake. The two stared each other down. Broly had torn up clothes and his dried up blood disappeared. He came back for the third time. 'How is he back for a second time...?' Gohan thought. He had exploded, right? "You... You're not Kakarot." Broly said. "I am not. I'm his son." Gohan said. "But... I have big sense of Kakarot in you..." Broly said, pointing at Gohan. Mainly because of his pendant. "Broly, I don't know how you came back, but you're not going to win this time!" Gohan yelled. Broly cackled. "I have returned from the brink of death to kill his pitiful son." He said. Gohan clenched his fists. "I am going to wipe the floor with you." Broly said. Gohan wasn't too scared. "I'm going to take my father's place and defeat you, Broly." He said, getting in a fighting pose. *** "What was he going on about with this 'Broly' character?" Applejack asked. "I dunno. Feels strong! I wanna join Gohan!" Goten said. "Now now, we were told not to and he's already gone." Sunset said. He was gone. "Dang it! Goten!" Sunset yelled, trailing him. "Spike, stay here." Twilight said, flying away. The rest followed. Rainbow Dash was the fastest, but could only barely reach Goten. *** Gohan and Broly were clashing. Well, more like... Like, flailing angrily. There's so much action! "HAAAAAA....!" The two yelled as they held each other's hands with their hands and pushed each other. This went on for a while... Sure is a lot of not killing Goku going on. You know what would fix that? A good ol' rousing round of killing Goku. Oh wait, he's dead. Anyway... Broly finally struck by holding Gohan upwards. He let go of his hands and kicked him towards the sky! He trailed and threw a fist! Gohan caught it with his rather tiny hands. Broly was surprised. Gohan tossed him to the side and firing three ki blasts at him. All hit. Broly recovered and charged at Gohan! He threw his green ki blast, which would explode into an even bigger explosion. Gohan knew that... And he destroyed it with his fist before it would combust. Much to Broly's surprise. Broly may have been powerful, but Gohan was not only stronger. But smarter. Broly was very predictable, and Gohan could tell. Gohan flew down to the ground. "Come on!" He said, gesturing for Broly to follow. Broly wasn't happy that Gohan was treating him like a house pet... So he charged! He threw his giant fist, and Gohan dodged. Gohan retaliated by punching Broly in the chest. He was sent far. Broly used his hand to stop his momentum on the ground and stand again. He charged at Gohan, who in turn was charging at him. Gohan rammed his shoulder into Broly, pushing him through plateaus and rocks. Broly eventually grabbed Gohan and kicked him up to the sky! Gohan stopped quickly and threw a ki blast at Broly. It got him right in the cheek, actually leaving a scratch. "W-What is this...?" Broly asked, wiping his cheek. Gohan landed nearby. "You know you can't win, Broly. I'm not even a Super Saiyan, yet you struggle against me." He said. Broly roared before he charged at Gohan again. Instead of punching Gohan, he got punched right in the face only to be axe kicked to the ground. "Your power is close to mine. But, you're too predictable and you leave yourself open. Your own overconfidence will be your undoing." Gohan said. Broly got himself up. "How... HOW!?" He asked. "Gohan!" Goten yelled, getting closer. Gohan looked over his shoulder in fear. "Goten...? Run!" He yelled. "Kakar....ot?" Broly asked. His anger started to boil. Much to Gohan's horror. If Broly saw Goten... Well, he's actually seeing him. Then there's no doubt with his pea sized brain that he will consider him to be Goku. Goten landed beside Gohan. Then the rest of the Humane 7 came. "Goten, he said no!" Sunset said. Goten stuck his tongue out. "I'm serious Goten!" Gohan yelled. "Kakarot...." Broly said. "You guys need to run, NOW!" Gohan yelled. "That's Broly? That's some serious muscle." Rainbow Dash said nonchalantly. Broly started to break the ground around him. Then the Humane 7 started to fear Broly. "Wow! He's strong! I wanna try!" Goten said, turning Super Saiyan. "Kakarot...!" Broly yelled. "Carrots? I don't like carrots!" Goten said. "Uh oh, guys." Pinkie said. "This is what I meant!" Gohan said. "KAKAROT!" Broly screamed, powering up immensely. The winds from his aura made it hard to see him. He kept screaming. "What is happening!?" Twilight yelled. "He's getting stronger!" Gohan yelled. The others struggled to stay still, so they ponied up. Broly was still screaming. "KAKAROT...! KAKAROT! I WILL END YOU!" He screamed. "WHY AREN'T YOU GUYS RUNNING!?" Gohan yelled. Broly finally stopped screaming and panted. "Why aren't you guys running!?" Gohan repeated. "We wanna see now! There's a nine foot tall- What happened to his hair?" Rainbow Dash asked. Broly... He's transformed. "What is that!?" Gohan asked. The Legendary Super Saiyan 3! "KAKAROT!" Broly screamed, charging at Goten. 'Oh no.' Gohan thought. Author's Note Well, I was in the middle of writing the season 7 part, buuuut... This came to mind. So I did it! I have a photo as to justify the name of the chapter. https://pm1.narvii.com/6395/f88ae2adf51e6c2eb02fe2ca9ce346cef9e34f4e_hq.jpg And to AGuyWhoDoesNotCare... This answers your question. It's late, I know. Okay, let's cut the bullshit, power levels. Broly - 550,000,000 SSJ - 27,500,000,000 LSSJ - 41,250,000,000 LSSJ3 - 330,000,000,000
Broly: The Third Coming (Gettin Real Tired of Your Shit, Broly) Pt. 2Broly grabbed Goten by the face and literally wiped the floor with him. "Goten!" Gohan yelled, trailing after him. Rainbow Dash followed. "What the heck is going on!?" Twilight asked. "I got you brot-" Gohan said before Broly let loose with Goten, sending him sliding across the ground and blasting Gohan away with a green blast. "Take this!" Rainbow Dash yelled, firing a powerful yellow blast from her hands. There was smoke around Broly. A giant hand emerged from the smoke and grabbed Rainbow Dash in the face. Rainbow Dash desperately clawed at his bulky arm. He hurled her at the rest of the Humane 7. Fluttershy caught her. "Are you okay?" She asked. "Ouch..." Rainbow Dash said as she got herself standing. "Let's help!" Twilight said. "Yeah!" The girls said, powering up, making their individual auras flare. Except Fluttershy, she was scared out of her mind at the sight of Broly. "KAKAROT!" Broly yelled, slowly walking towards Goten. He was nearly out of stamina from that one attack... His Super Saiyan form was no match for a Super Saiyan Broly, let alone a Legendary Super Saiyan. And he lost the form. Rainbow Dash flew after Broly, Applejack lifted a boulder and punched it at Broly, Rarity sent a diamond going at him, Sunset ran at him, Pinkie threw an entire bottle of sprinkles at him, and Fluttershy cowered, still. Twilight tried using her magic to hold Broly back. Broly only walked, and broke her magic. "Ah!" Twilight yelped, feeling mindfucked a bit. "Are you alright?" Fluttershy asked, helping Twilight stay standing. "I'm alright..." She said. Broly turned around and charged at his opponents. First, he punched Rainbow Dash once, and she was down for the count. Ponied down. Then, Rarity's diamond shattered at the mere touch of Broly. "Ouch!" Rarity yelped, grabbing her head in pain. Felt mindfucked as well. Broly tanked the sprinkle explosion, as well as the boulder, and his next victim, Sunset, stopped short. She was about halfway there, but he's that damn powerful. Broly cackled as he charged at Sunset. Sunset braced for impact, and- "YOU LEAVE HER ALONE!" Gohan screamed, dropkicking Broly right in the side as a Super Saiyan. Sunset looked to see Gohan starting to push Broly back. But, she wasn't going to stand idly by. She had a friend to help. She went to Rainbow Dash and held her over her shoulder. By that I mean her whole body. Head forward. (Her head's in front of Sunset. She ain't checking out the rear.) What she didn't know was that her hands were glowing orange, yet she wasn't seeing her memories... Foreshadowing. Broly broke free and tried to attack with a punch. Gohan grabbed this giant fist and swung Broly into the ground. He then kicked Broly quite some distance away. Broly's face went across the ground. "Sunset! Get Goten and get as far away as possible!" Gohan yelled. Sunset did as she was told. "I'm gonna make you pay, Broly!" Gohan yelled. "For what you did to Goten and Rainbow Dash!" He yelled, making his aura flare. Broly got himself up. "I am going to kill you...!" He yelled. He made his yellow greenish aura flare. Gohan was unfazed by Broly's rage. 'Broly... I wish you weren't an enemy.' He thought. "Broly, you won't win. You may have this... Form, but you stand no chance against me anymore." Gohan said. "No... I will never stop. NOT UNTIL KAKAROT DIES!" Broly screamed, charging at Gohan. He smashed his fist into Gohan's face! Gohan didn't move an inch. He grabbed Broly's massive hand with one hand and twisted it. Broly yelped. *** Sunset got to Goten. "Alright little guy, you-" Sunset said before suddenly, Rainbow Dash was trying to get off. "Stop. I'm gonna carry you over there and you can rest." Sunset said. "What do you mean? I'm totally fine!" Rainbow Dash said. "What?" Sunset asked, completely confused. "You were just punched by whatever Super Saiyan form that was and you were down!" She said. Rainbow Dash managed to get herself off. "Well, yeah. That hurt. But I feel completely fine for some reason." Rainbow Dash said. "Y-You're lying!" Sunset said. "Nuh uh!" Rainbow Dash said, ponying up. "What?" Sunset asked, carrying Goten in her arms. Her hands were glowing orange at that time as well. "Uh... Your hands?" Rainbow Dash asked. "What do you- Huh?" Sunset asked, looking down at Goten. *** Gohan let out a war cry before punching him in the gut with his other hand. Broly coughed loudly. Gohan wasn't done yet. He pummeled Broly to nearly no end! Broly couldn't believe it. His brand new form reduced to a pile of garbage. Gohan then blasted him into the rock formation nearby! Pierced right through him, and right through the stomach! Put a hole in it for the second time! Broly lost his Legendary Super Saiyan 3 form and was reduced to a regular Legendary Super Saiyan. He was panting for his life. Blood escaped his mouth. "I can't take any more chances with you, Broly." Gohan said, beginning to charge a Kamehameha in his hands. Broly was laying in his own anguish. He could only stare at the sky blankly. It was around 6 pm, and the moon was kind of out. A full moon... "The moon..." Broly muttered. Then his chest started to beat. Gohan realized what was happening. He had to finish it now! *** "Uh...Huh?" Goten asked as he woke up. "Goten?" Sunset asked. The Humane 7 were all together and a good distance away from the action. "What happened...?" Goten asked as he got on his two legs. "You're healed! This... This is another part of my magic!" Sunset said, looking at her hands with a smile on her face. "Huh. Wonder if we have any extra super power." Applejack said. "That would be so awesome!" Rainbow Dash said. Then they all saw a very huge blue beam fire across the horizon. "Well... Gohan won." Sunset said. "That was a close one..." Twilight said. Everyone started to pony down. Goten had a look of fear. "N-Not quite!" He said. "What are you talking about?" Sunset asked. Then, a legendary golden oozaru emerged from the blast, killing it! Much to Gohan's horror. 'No... No!' He thought. "What the heck is that!?" Applejack asked. "Nice... Big... Scary...! Gorilla!" Fluttershy said in huge fear. "It's what Gohan turned into when he..." Goten stopped short. "He what?" Rarity asked. "Turned into a Super Saiyan 4..." Sunset said. "Wait... Don't tell me..." Rainbow Dash said. The oozaru roared loudly! He had yellow greenish fur... He fired a red blast from his mouth. Gohan narrowly dodged. 'His power's increased tenfold! Then this!? Now I know how Goten feels.' He thought. If you don't understand, he meant Broly's base increased tenfold. Then, the legendary golden oozaru, which is about 750x. That's what I mean. 'I can only hope...!' He thought. Gohan flew right at Broly. Broly swung his gorilla hand at Gohan, who narrowly dodged underneath. Gohan threw a punch, only slightly hurting him...!? 'You're kidding! Super Saiyan can't harm him now!? How!?' He thought. Broly roared. Gohan flew back for some distance. He powered up into a full power Mastered Super Saiyan 2. "Please be enough!" Gohan muttered, firing another Kamehameha at Broly. Broly... He jumped away to dodge it! "What the heck!?" Gohan said. 'He dodged it...?' He thought. 'How am I going to...' He thought, looking at the moon. "W-What's happening!?" Applejack asked. "He dodged it!" Goten said. "This isn't gonna end well!" Sunset said. "Why is Gohan's Super Saiyan 2 so different now...?" Goten muttered. (It's the same thing with Trunks. He managed to get on par with SSJ3 Goku with SSJ2 in the manga. Although Goku held back, he was obviously putting himself at Trunks level.) Gohan's power was similar to that if he were a Super Saiyan 3. "What's Gohan going to do...?" Sunset asked. "Well, duh! He's gonna blow up the moon, then Broly's gonna go Super Saiyan 4, then Gohan will beat him down, then Broly will get ANOTHER zenkai, then he'll beat Gohan down, then we'll jump in, Gohan will be back, and he'll take care of Broly no problem!" Pinkie sputtered. "Uh... What?" Twilight asked. "I sincerely doubt that Gohan would blow up the moon. I mean, Equestria's tides will eventually manage, but he knows the importance of the moon here! He would never-" She said before Gohan blew up the moon with a powerful ki blast. "You were Saiyan?" Pinkie asked. "Good one!" Rainbow Dash said. "Girls, this isn't the time for jokes!" Sunset said. Broly reverted back to his base form... Receiving the third boost in power in this fight. This scary boost would even scare Gohan. Gohan flew down to the ground to see Broly. Broly was actually seemingly weakened. "You attained another form of Super Saiyan... I will go higher." Broly muttered. He stood tall and made his aura flare for a moment. "The bloodbath begins with you..." He said, enraged even further. First, Gohan toyed with him. Then, the sight of Goten made his blood boil. At this point Broly was more than just angry. Broly turned into the Legendary Super Saiyan... Then Legendary Super Saiyan 2... (This is getting repetitive.) Then 3... 'H...He can't be going Super Saiyan 4!' Gohan thought. "His power's increasing to no end!" He said. Broly's rage really broke this time. Broly exploded with green everywhere. Everyone was blinded by the light. Broly came out from it... Green aura... Black hair... Red body hair... Insane power... "No...!" Gohan said, in true astonishment. Broly... He... Was the Legendary Super Saiyan 4. "Is he...?" Twilight asked. "We have TWO!?" Rainbow Dash asked. Author's Note Oh shit. We're in some deep shit. L. Golden Oozaru Broly - 4,125,000,000,000 LSSJ4 Broly (Zenkai) - (unreleased) And as you can tell from the text... SSJ2 Gohan - 25,800,000,000,000 Because of the power scaling I'm using to justify it. (DBS)
Broly: The Third Coming (Gettin Real Tired of Your Shit, Broly) Pt. 3"Why do these things keep happening to us...?" Fluttershy asked. "Trust me when I say we need Gohan for all of them." Sunset said. "We don't, but we'd rather have him punch the face in of everyone." Rainbow Dash said. Anyway... "Broly... You..." Gohan said. 'What am I supposed to do!?' He thought. Broly grinned and pointed at Gohan. "I am going to wipe the floor with you and bathe in all your bloods." He said. Gohan's pendant started to glow. Broly felt more Goku than ever before. "Kakarot..." He muttered. He charged! 'Oh n-' Gohan thought right before a giant furry arm took him for a lariat ride into many rocks. Gohan clawed for freedom to no avail. 'I have to turn Super Saiyan 4 as quickly as I can!' He thought. He put two fingers to his head. But Instant Transmissioning would result in the same thing happening... 'But Broly can be tricked.' He thought. It was worth a shot. Shooting a full power Kamehameha wouldn't knock Broly back in the slightest. Even if he could garner that power. Gohan teleported to the sky! Where Broly stopped in confusion. 'Now's my only chance!' Gohan thought. He pointed his fingers to his face. "Solar Flare!" He yelled, unleashing the blinding light into Broly's pupilless eyes. Broly reacted on instinct, screaming in pain. His eyelids were red... "Is he gonna do it?" Pinkie asked. "I hope...!" Sunset said. Gohan jumped back on top of a rock formation. "You aren't the only one with that form! Rraaaaagh!" He screamed, powering up. A yellow sphere enveloped Gohan, much to Broly's surprise. "W-What!?" He asked. Gohan broke the sphere into a million little droplets of ki! He was a Super Saiyan 4! Broly finally regained his sight. "Er...What!?" He asked. "Prepare yourself, Broly!" Gohan said, getting in his usual fighting pose. Broly only grunted. "DIE!" He yelled, unleashing his Eraser Cannon on Gohan. Gohan didn't move. As soon as it touched him... BOOM! Big ass green explosion! "No!" The Humane 7 and Goten yelled. Even he couldn't make the difference when it came to raw power. The blast died down. "W-Where's Gohan!?" Sunset asked. "H-He's alive!" Goten said. "What!?" Rainbow Dash asked. Broly cackled as the smoke died down. "You call that an attack?" Gohan insulted from inside the debris. "W-What!?" Broly asked. Gohan used his aura to make the debris go away. He was standing atop a very, very law defying thin piece of rock. Unfazed, too. "Your power may have increased dramatically, Broly. But I stand from a point higher than you will ever reach!" Gohan yelled, making the rock disintegrate. He floated in mid air. "I will end you!" Broly screamed, diving down for Gohan. Gohan flew towards Broly at the same time. Gohan and Broly both threw punches, and they collided with each other. The shockwave of just that could be felt by the far bystanders. The two started clashing with even more. The bystanders just looked in sheer awe. "Wow... Saiyans, am I right?" Pinkie asked. "Uh... I guess?" Goten asked. Awkward... "Oh crap, was that racist?" Pinkie asked. "Yeah, it was." Sunset said. "Aww... I didn't mean to." Pinkie said. "That's alright." Goten said. "You know, I made a chart on where we all stand in this thing, because between the Super Saiyans, us and whatever the heck keeps coming from the pony world..." Twilight said. "Oh don't you start!" Rainbow Dash said. "Hey! I was a she demon trying to fight Gohan! Stuff got crazy!" Twilight said. "I've been a she demon to fight Gohan too! And nearly died more times than you have!" Sunset said. "True, but you know what the difference is? When you were a she demon, you stepped on everyone to get it WILLINGLY. When I was a she demon, I was FORCED into it." Twilight said. Sunset couldn't retaliate. "Gonna need a senzu for that one..." Pinkie said. Broly roared before he tried grabbing Gohan's head. Gohan maneuvered underneath and repeatedly pummeled Broly's meat grinder stomach. Eventually Broly made his aura flare to push Gohan away. But he wasn't done! Gohan flew right through and grabbed Broly's head! "Let's see how you like this one!" He yelled, pushing him down to the ground. He was giving Broly a taste of his own medicine. Slamming his head into the ground! Cracked the ground. Gohan jumped off Broly's chest, burrowing him a bit deeper and fired an energy blast barrage! By that I mean he swung his arms around as he threw ki blasts. With every ki blast, the smoke and explosions grew bigger. "What's wrong, Broly!?" Gohan yelled as he kept throwing. He was drunk with power at this point. (A thing he still deals with as an adult. In fact, he did it against Frieza...) "You said you would bathe in my blood!" He taunted. He finally ended his assault. Broly was in the crater, damaged... And most importantly angry. "Kakarot..." He muttered. He was hallucinating because when the smoke died down, he saw Goku beside the superior Super Saiyan 4. That was his breaking point. The taunting... The pain... The Kakarot... It was just too much. And the already boiling blood inside him reached maximum overdrive. Broly got himself up. 'What's happening...?' Gohan thought. "KAKAROOOOOT!" Broly screamed, powering up immensely. It seemed like his injuries were just healed in that moment! Although only the scratches and scars disappeared. His stamina was the same... Or it increased. "KAKAROT!" He screamed. Broly's strength, defense, technique, and speed increased drastically. '...That's not good-' Gohan thought right before Broly smashed his gigantic hand into his chest. Sending him flying! "What in tarnation!?" Applejack asked. "Gohan was just brutalizing him a moment ago!" Twilight said. "Did Broly just get another power increase!?" Sunset asked. "We don't know that! Maybe he got a lucky hit! Or Gohan's faking!" Goten said. Broly trailed, flipping before stomping on Gohan's stomach straight into the ground! Gohan coughed... Blood? Oh fuck. The tremors could be felt from afar. "WHAT'S WRONG, KAKAROT!?" Broly screamed, jumping up and stomping down on him again! Burrowing him deeper into the ground! He cackled as he kept repeating this over, and over, and over, and over until Gohan fell into the mini canyon he made. "That didn't look like a fake!" Applejack said. "This is not good!" Rarity said. Gohan burst from the ground and smashed his fist into Broly's face. Unfazed...? 'What!? Oh, right. He did what he did last time... This is Frieza all over again... I let this happen.' Gohan thought, flying backwards. Broly trailed him. 'I need a plan!' Gohan thought, picking up his speed. 'Broly's power will grow faster at this rate! He's making significant jumps in power! I should've ended it while I could.' He thought. Broly actually caught up and grabbed Gohan's tiny foot. He swung him down to the ground! The swing actually had some green aura to hit. Broly wasn't done yet. He flew down at Gohan and kneed his stomach straight into the ground! Gohan was smashed into the ground. He actually had to cough blood. Left quite the crater. He was actually pretty worn out by Broly's sudden power. Broly's rage and numerous zenkai boosts have really overpowered him. 'Jeez... My body feels like jelly...' He thought. 'He's even stronger than Frieza now... I can't hold my own anymore. Even if I could move, I probably can't land it.' He thought. Broly cackled, holding a small Eraser Cannon in his palm. "Here's a present for you! HAHAHAHAHAH!" He yelled, letting it loose at Gohan. It slowly but surely made it's way. 'Dang... Dad, I've failed. Sorry.' Gohan thought, closing his eyes in shame. His pendant started glowing. Brighter than ever before... 'I'm sorry, Sunset. I couldn't protect you this time...' He said with tears in his eyes. "No!" Sunset yelled, running towards Gohan. She heard that thought somehow. "He's gonna die!" Rainbow Dash said. "What are we gonna do!?" Goten asked. "I don't know..." Twilight said. "A Super Saiyan 4 isn't enough to beat him... Then nothing can!" Rarity said. "Sunset, get back!" Pinkie yelled. "No!" Sunset said with tears, running as fast as she could. The green blast finally reached what she thought was a base form Gohan. With wilder hair- What? And white sparkles? What, did he attain Ultra Instinct or something? Well, there's no way of Gohan getting that. So I say no to that! The hell is that? He has a big '悟' on his back. "GOHAN!" Sunset screamed. BOOM! Holy fuck! That was huge! It blew Sunset away! Like ten feet... Until she fell flat on her face. "No...!" She muttered at the sight of the powerful green blast. Goten stared in shock. 'Gohan...! No...!' He said with tears running down his face. "I...Is Gohan...?" Applejack asked. "No..." Twilight said in disbelief. "N-No..." Fluttershy said. "It can't...! No!" Sunset said with tears rolling down her face. 'This is the worst day ever!' She thought. Author's Note Oh shit. Gohan's dead! Oh wait... Sorry, that's the spoiler to another ch- I need to shut up and change my plan. Anyway, yeah. Broly, you and your fucking zenkais are unfair, man! LSSJ4 Broly (Beginning) - 114,000,000,000,000,000 (Fourth Damn Weak Zenkai + Rage) - 520,000,000,000,000,000 SSJ4 Gohan - 260,000,000,000,000,000 How the hell are they going to beat Broly!? Especially since I overpowered him!? And especially since Gohan's-
Broly: The Third Coming (Gettin Real Tired of Your Shit, Broly) Pt. 4There was a huge yellow blast countering the green blast! It was smaller... But it was actually pushing it back! Screams that was not Gohan's could be heard. Then the yellow blast suddenly turned red! "What!?" Broly asked. The two blasts killed each other, despite the red one being much, much weaker. Sunset got herself up. The rest of the Humane 7 and Goten ran up to her. "What was that!?" Sunset asked. "It felt like Gohan's necklace...?" Goten muttered. 'But times a million!' He thought. Inside the crater was Gohan and another figure. One with sparkles and white aura and a spiritual appearance. Well, he had a red aura now. And he was panting. And then he was sucked into Gohan's pendant. "What was that...? Kakarot?" Broly asked. "Let's get to Gohan!" Applejack said. Everyone rushed to him, and he was found unconscious in the hole. Super Saiyan 4. "It looks like more insects have come to die!" Broly yelled, landing fifty feet away. The girls and boy were scared for their lives. "What are we gonna do!?" Rainbow Dash asked. "I think we have to fight him...!" Goten said. "You're kidding." Sunset said. "Nope!" Pinkie said. "If we have to fight..." Twilight said, ponying up. "We'll have to!" Rarity said, ponying up. "I guess..." Fluttershy said, ponying up. Everyone else ponied up and the Saiyan went Super Saiyan. They weren't confident. They were sweating with fear. Broly cackled. "Really? With your power levels!?" He asked. "If it's our last defense, it's going to be our strongest!" Rainbow Dash yelled. Broly cackled as he put a green barrier around himself and unleashed a plethora of blasts from it. Everyone all jumped around to dodge them all! "Take this!" Rainbow Dash yelled, throwing a powerful blast. It was destroyed by Broly's barrier. But that died down soon after, along with the blasts. "Now is Broly... NOW BROLY!" Broly yelled, saying it's his turn. He dashed towards Rainbow Dash, throwing a punch! Luckily, she managed to fly away in time. He smashed his fist into the ground. Twilight tried holding him down with her magic, but... Broly broke free instantly! Twilight felt mindfucked and fell over. "Twilight!" Pinkie said, catching her. Broly had an idea. He started pummeling the ground super hard, sending shockwaves and winds across the horizon! "He's a monster!" Fluttershy said, struggling to keep her stance. "A monster? No, I am a devil!" Broly yelled, stopping his assault. ("OH MY GOD HE'S SO GODDAMN COOL!") "This is an impossible mission!" Rarity said. "I have a plan!" Twilight said. "Anything!?" Goten asked. "If we rush at him from all directions, he could let down his guard. Maybe we can damage him then...?" Twilight asked. "It's risky, but we might as well." Applejack said. "Alright, formation!" Sunset yelled. The eight all got in a far circle around Broly. He was confused because of his pea brain. "Charge!" Twilight yelled. All eight came charging at Broly! At first he couldn't realize how to counter. 'He's confused as to which one of us to lock on! This might work!' Twilight thought. But, as his opponents came close, he acted on instinct. He grabbed Twilight's head and threw her into Fluttershy and Rarity! Then, he kicked Applejack into Sunset and Goten! He smacked Pinkie away and lunged at Rainbow Dash! He smashed his forehead into hers. Everyone had a hard landing! Except Rainbow Dash, she managed to flip and plant her feet on the ground. After a second or two, she stopped. Her forehead was actually bleeding, and it went over her eye. She grunted and vented in frustration. "This is really getting me pissed off!" She yelled. Sunset pushed the two on top of her off her. "You and me both..." She said, panting. "Even if he couldn't react correctly, he's too fast..." Twilight muttered, getting up. Her glasses were shattered on one lens. "We'll get crushed if we just charge at him head on..." Applejack said. Broly cackled. "What do you think you can do!? You're powerless!" He yelled. "That doesn't matter!" Rainbow Dash yelled. "We all have something to protect... And we have to protect it, no matter what the cost!" She yelled. Broly stood for a moment before cackling. "I'll put you out of your misery." He said, holding a very weak blast in his palm. He slowly flew backwards on top of a tall rock formation. "That bastard wants to take the planet out with us!" Rainbow Dash yelled. She yelled and made her rainbow aura flare. "We have to stop it at all costs!" Twilight said. She yelled and made her purple aura flare. Sunset with her yellow, Applejack with yellow, Pinkie with pink, Rarity with purple, and Fluttershy with pink. Goten also yelled, turning Super Saiyan 2. They all jumped to Rainbow Dash's side. The eight all cupped their hands together by their side. "All together now!" Sunset yelled. "Yeah!" Everyone yelled. "Ka...me...ha...me..." They all yelled. Broly let the small blast float down to the group. "HA!" They all screamed, during the Kamehameha wave. As soon as the Kamehameha and (technically) Eraser Cannon collided... There was a big green explosion! The green blast was pushing back the combined Kamehameha! Broly cackled at that. He was barely even trying! And he cackled even more. It stopped in the middle of the air. He wanted to make them struggle and suffer. The group was getting pushed back. "W-We're being pushed back!" Rainbow Dash yelled. Twilight decided to channel her magic into the mix. Creating a blue in the middle purple surrounding Kamehameha! But that barely helped. 'He's too strong! We need more power...!' Sunset said. 'What are we going to do!? Please... Someone, help!' Sunset thought. The struggle continued. Broly's cackles never ended. This was really pitiful. *** 'Gohan... Gohan!' Gohan heard in his subconscious. He woke up in a dark space. It was nothingness. "Was that... Dad?" He muttered. 'Yes, son. It's me. I've been on your chest. You have to wake up, and defeat Broly! This is your fight to finish!' Goku telepathically said. "But how? Broly's too strong!" Gohan said. 'When there's a will, there's a way! Never give up! Your friends are counting on you! If you don't beat him, Equestria's doomed!' Goku said. "...You're right!" Gohan said. *** 'I'm not done yet, damn it!' He thought. He started screaming as his aura flared and he got himself up. "He's up!" Applejack said. The group cheered. Gohan powered up enough that his crater got wider, but the part he stood on remained. He jumped to the place behind the group. "Let's do this! Kamehameha!" Gohan screamed, firing the Kamehameha wave! Broly was surprised at this sudden burst. It got close to him... But he grinned afterwards. "It's stupid of you to resist! I'll put you all out of your misery! HAHAHAHAHAHAH!" He cackled. "We'll see about that!" Gohan screamed. Broly cackled as he added more power! The blast remained in the air. "It's still not enough!" Applejack said. 'What are we gonna do!? Oh I wish Dad was here, he'd know what to do!' Gohan thought. His pendant glowed yellow again. The skies turned into dark clouds. "Gohan! Goten!" Goku yelled, in a spiritual voice. Gohan recognized the voice. So did Broly. "Kakarot...?" He muttered. Goku appeared beside the group! His overall appearance was his usual attire with white sparkles and a white aura. "Dad!" Gohan said. "Dad!?" The Humane 7 asked. "Gohan. You have one way to end this." Goku said, turning Super Saiyan 2. He started charging up a Kamehameha. 'What is he talking about!? He isn't a Super Saiyan 4 or beyond, either...' Gohan thought. "T-That's what Dad looks like?" Goten asked. "Super Kaioken!" Goku screamed, using the Kaioken. His aura turned deep red. And overall appearance, too. "Kamehameha!" Goku screamed, firing the Kamehameha wave at the green blast. With ten Kamehamehas fighting Broly's one attack... This is just asinine. "This is our fight to finish, you guys! Gohan, you're the only one who can stop Broly!" Goku yelled. "I know..." Gohan said. 'But how?' He thought. "Think of the only way you can beat out his power!" Goku said. "Hurry, Gohan!" Sunset said in a strained voice. "We can't keep up much longer! We're putting every ounce of energy into it!" Applejack yelled. 'Surpass Broly...? But... Wait, that's right!' Gohan thought. "Ryu-ken!" Gohan said. "Ryu-ken?" Twilight asked. "This is very greedy of me, but you have to put all your energy into this one. I'm going on a suicide mission." Gohan said, ending his Kamehameha. "W-What are you doing!?" Goten asked. Gohan jumped straight into the blast! "GOHAN!" Sunset yelled. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?" Rainbow Dash yelled. "The only thing he can do to defeat him." Goku said. He himself was getting burned already. The Kaioken put a strain on his body this fast... 'Can't give up! For Gohan! And my other son that I just learned about... Goten.' He thought. Gohan charged right into the green blast. Broly laughed. "He wanted to die that badly." He said. "Ryu-ken! Super Dragon Fist!" Gohan screamed, unleashing the golden dragon upon the blast. The blast instantly shattered to pieces! "What!?" Broly asked. In desperation, he fired more green ki blasts, but they all disintegrated at the touch of the golden dragon. In a final moment of desperation, Broly set up a barrier around himself. The golden dragon powered right through! Put the biggest hole in Broly since Goku did last time! Broly screamed in pain as his lungs and stomach and intestines were all destroyed. The golden dragon disappeared. "FULL POWER!" Goku screamed, going past his limits, going times 3. Potentially ending himself for the fourth damn time. I mean, he shouldn't even exist! Everyone poured their last efforts of strength into their blasts. "Kakarot...! KAKAROT!" Broly managed to scream. The blast got to him. Gohan fired a yellow blast from his palm right at Broly! Evening out the blasts! Broly had no chance to recover from this one! "KAKAR....o........" He yelled as he was being destroyed completely. There was no trace left of Broly. Completely dead. (FYI: Super Dragon Fist is more instant, as in GT Goku didn't wrap himself around his enemy {I. E. Super 17 survived SSJ4 Goku self destruction, but not a base Goku Super Dragon Fist} but it was clearly stronger. Dragon Fist wraps around the victim. Like it did with Omega Shenron, but it was plainly weaker. Or what I say may not be GT Canon but it's what's happening here. That's how I think it is, anyway. Put in the comments if you think it's wrong. I'll take it. Looking at you, HB!) The blasts had died down. The dark clouds were killed, and sunlight hit the wasteland once more. 'We did it... Thank you, dad.' Gohan thought. He slowly floated down to the ground. "We did it!" Applejack said. Rainbow Dash sighed in relief as she fell back on her back. They all ponied down. Goku and Goten reverted back to base form. "We did it!" Goten yelled, running to Gohan. Sunset ran after him, too. "The nightmare is over..." Fluttershy said. They were all burned out. Goku casually started walking towards Gohan. Even in his overwhelmingly screwed state. He's gonna need some ki control practice after this... Gohan reverted back to base form with a weak smile. "Hey guys..." He said. His shirt was only torn a tad, with a few scratches on his pants. Goten stopped as he got in front of Gohan with a biggest smile on his face. "You did it!" He said. Gohan chuckled weakly. "Yeah, I did..." He said. "Gohan!" Sunset said as she got closer. "Hey Sunset...!" Gohan said weakly. Sunset laughed as Gohan ended up picking her up by her hips and swinging her around like a true couple. He eventually put her down. She ended up planting a kiss on his cheek, making him blush. Goten snickered. "Goten, you know not to laugh at that." Goku said from behind. Goten turned around and the two others had their gaze on Goku. "You must be Gohan's father. It's a real honor to meet you!" Sunset said, holding Goku's hand. Goku recoiled in pain. The Kaioken was a bit much. I mean too much. Especially at 3x. "A-Are you okay, sir?" Sunset asked. "Yeah... Ooh... Sorry, using the Kaioken really messes me up. I could really die if I use it too harshly." Goku said. "That reminds me... HOW ARE YOU ALIVE!?" Gohan asked. "I'm not! In fact, I shouldn't exist anymore." Goku said. "...That makes no sense whatsoever." Gohan said. 'I mean, I know Dad's an idiot, but...' He thought. "Hey... Lets not focus on that right now. We have a bit of catching up to do. Especially with your girlfriend." Goku said with a smile. Gohan blushed and recoiled a bit at that. Sunset ended up giggling. "She's pretty cute! Is that sunburn on your face or are you just blushing?" Goku asked. 'Karma...' Sunset thought, giggling some more. "I've only been around for a few days, and already I've used up my resolve. I think it's time I go back to my confinement..." Goku said. "W-What? But... You've only been here so long!" Gohan said. "I'm technically not even supposed to be existing, like I said before. But, I managed to live through you, Gohan. And that necklace right there gave me a chance to finally talk to you." Goku said. "So that's why your ki was present..." Gohan muttered. "Every time it glowed, that was me turning Super Saiyan to try to talk to you." Goku said. "R-Really?" Gohan asked. "Yep! But now I learned telepathy. I'm not doing nothing in there!" Goku said. "Um..." Goten said. "Hm? Oh, right." Goku said, kneeling down to Goten's level. "I know we just met, but I've heard of you, Goten. I may be Goku, but call me daddy!" He said with a toothy grin. Goten was a little shy, but... He smiled. "Hi daddy!" He said, tackle hugging him. Goku recoiled in pain, but he hugged him back anyway. Gohan smiled. 'Finally... But I'm still confused as to why dad's been destroyed.' He thought. 'And how he lived through me...' He thought. "Well, I'm gonna go." Goku said, standing up. "B-But..." Goten said, looking like he was about to cry. I mean, he just met his father for the first time! "Hey... Don't worry! I'll be back! And Gohan will always be there to hear me." Goku said. Gohan nodded. "I'm proud of the both of you. Especially with that new form of yours, Gohan." Goku said. "Uh... Well..." Gohan said. "That tail really takes me back.... Heheh. Anyway, see you all. Tell the others I said hi!" Goku said, right before disappearing into white sparkles. Those sparkles went straight into Gohan's pendant. "Well..." Sunset said, breaking the silence. Gohan smiled. 'Finally. After all this time...' He thought. It actually brought a tear to his eye. "That was nice. Your dad's a really nice guy." Sunset said. "He's harmless to good, nightmare to evil." Gohan said. 'And now you have to take my place, Gohan.' Goku said in his mind. 'Dad?' Gohan thought. 'I support you, Gohan. Keep studying, but never stop training! You are my successor.' Goku said. 'I place my job upon you, son.' He added. Gohan was a bit overwhelmed, but... 'It's what I've been doing for a while. I have to take it.' He thought. "Heh... I'm never going to give up martial arts for as long as I live." Gohan said. "You what?" Sunset asked. "I have to take my dad's place as protector. I won't let him down!" Gohan said proudly. Goten and Sunset smiled. "Well, I'm glad you're being hero forever, BUUUUT!" Pinkie said, popping in from the top of the screen. "H-How are you-" Gohan asked before- *** There was a mini party back at the picnic. Sunset was using her new healing powers on everyone. Lastly, Gohan. "You did great out there." She said. "I let him power up so much that he surpassed me..." Gohan said. "That doesn't matter. We're alive and well, that's what matters." Sunset said. "Heh... I'm gonna always protect you, Sunny..." Gohan said. "Sunny? Heh, you did it again." Sunset said. Gohan blushed a bit. "Sorry, that was instinct." He said. "Don't be. I like the nickname." Sunset said. "I'm not the type to nickname people... But I guess I'll make an exception this time, Sunny." Gohan said. Sunset giggled. 'I'd never imagine you to be the love type, Gohan.' Goku said. 'Oh dad, how clueless mom said you were.' Gohan said. 'You know, you're pretty clueless yourself, Gohan.' Sunset said. 'Well... Um...' Gohan said. Sunset giggled. "My powers are so cool!" She said out loud. "Hey you guys! We're gonna play a game!" Rainbow Dash said. Sunset got up and walked to that. Gohan got up. 'I'll be watching all the time, Gohan.' Goku said. 'And I'll be making you proud all the time, Dad.' Gohan said. Now that Gohan can finally talk to his dad all the time... You can only guess what'll happen in the future. Author's Note Okay, back to season 7... Goku is there, unlike in the movie. Might as well do my hobby again. Goku - 2,100,000,000 Super Saiyan 2 - 210,000,000,000 SSJ2 Kaioken 3x - 630,000,000,000 Aftermath - 5,000 to 450,000,000 (Delayed Onset Ki Disorder) Goku's back! Hooray! Now let's wait a month before I actually post another chapter.
The Traveling Planet: Another Enemy Pt. 1On a traveling planet... By that, I mean it's going around the galaxy. It has greenery, but at the center is a base of operations. A large tower. In it, is tons of robots, The commander is a blue mandroid with a yellow helmet, wristbands, boots and chestplate. https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/villains/images/3/31/General_Rilldo.png/revision/latest?cb=20170227082059 All metal, don't forget. And even his blue thong is metal, so there's nothing going on down there. He walked into some sort of control room. Every one of the robots in it bowed to him. He walked up to a table and a chair appeared for him, and he sat on it. "Describe the situation." He demanded. "We have officially neared Planet Equestria. The Planet in question harbors two Saiyans." A robot said. "Huh. I suppose Dr. Myuu has the same information?" The commander asked. "Yes, sir." The robot said. "Then we can't ignore it like we did with Earth... Ugh." The commander said. Then, a hologram appeared on the table. The commander quickly stood. "Master Myuu." He said. It was Dr. Myuu. https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/villains/images/0/01/Doctor_Myuu.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20180303200011 "I have been informed that ugly, wretched Saiyans have been detected on this planet." Myuu said. "That is correct, Master." The commander said. "What will happen to them?" Myuu asked. "Those two will be in my grasp very shortly. I know that they will come here." The commander said. "Is that right?" Myuu asked excitedly. "I'm sure they will make superb research subjects... As well as perfect subjects for torture, like the rest of those Saiyans did to us!" He said. "Make sure you inform the other M-2 commandos that they are to take them as prisoner." Myuu said. "Yes." The commander said. "I say so, because you Machine Mutants can be just a wee too rough, you know." Myuu said. "Particularly the Mega Cannon Sigma boys, you mean?" The commander asked. The two started cackling. *** Well, yet another picnic in front of the portal with the usual gang. Gohan and Goten in their traditional father gi, with Goten losing the sleeves and using wristbands. Spike was there, this time. Gohan and Goten devouring Sunset's home cooked meals... And everyone else enjoying what they brought. "How many picnics have we gone on already?" Pinkie asked. Gohan put down a plate of fried rice, or cha-han. "I'd say about seven." He said. "Have you been counting?" Sunset asked. "To be honest, I lost count at around five." Gohan said. "I lost count at three." Twilight said. "Did any of you even care to begin with?" Spike asked, chewing on a bone. "No." Everyone said. Everyone resumed their meals until Twilight saw something strange in the sky. "Uh... Everyone? Am I seeing things or is that a mini moon in our atmosphere?" Twilight asked, pointing up. "A mini moon in our- What the heck?" Sunset asked. Everyone saw the planet above them. https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/dragonball/images/e/e8/M-2.jpg/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/350?cb=2009031614020 "That looks more like a planet than a mini moon..." Gohan said. "Is there anyone livin' on that there planet?" Applejack asked. "It looks like it's populated at the center." Twilight said. "Then what are we waiting for?" Rainbow Dash asked, standing up. "And what do you mean?" Rarity asked. "Lets check it out!" Rainbow Dash said, jumping off the ground to fly up. ...Until Applejack grabbed her leg. "Hold on there, sugarcube. Ya can't breathe in space." Applejack said. "And the rock seems like it's in space." Goten said. "Do we really want to investigate?" Gohan asked. "I do!" Rainbow Dash said, getting down on the ground again. "Me too!" Pinkie said. "Oh, maybe..." Rarity said. "There could be some evil mastermind on that planet." Sunset said. "Actually, that sounds like a reason we should go." Fluttershy said. Gohan sighed. "Well, it wouldn't hurt to check it out." He said. "Well, count me out. You guys ran into that Broly problem just a few days ago." Spike said. "And we nearly died." Gohan said. "Then, let's go! I've always wanted to visit another planet!" Twilight said. "Are we even sure if there's oxygen on it?" Gohan asked. "There seems to be some forms of plant on there. Judging by the center of that planet... So, I'd bet it's safe." Twilight said. "Okay, everyone grab on, then..." Gohan said, putting two fingers to his forehead. *** The group teleported to a forest, it seems. But a spot in the forest surrounded by trees, but there's no trees around them. Like a bald spot. "Wow! A new planet! This is so amazing! Iwonderwhatkindsoftechnologytheyhave!Doyouguysthinkthat-" Twilight said, before Pinkie put a cupcake in her mouth. Made her glasses slant. "I don't know a single word you said!" Pinkie said. Twilight ended up swallowing the whole thing. "Why'd you do that!?" She asked, fixing her glasses. "We don't wanna hear the nerd talk you and the other egghead will have." Rainbow Dash said. "Hey!" Gohan said. "But she is right, this is an astonishing planet." Rarity said. "These trees seem like they're taller than ours." Applejack said, inspecting a tree. "I don't see any critters around..." Fluttershy said. "OW!" Pinkie yelled from inside a tree. Everyone was looking for her. "Pinkie? What happened?" Sunset called. Pinkie's head poked out of the leaves. Also her hands. Holding an apple. "I thought this was a yummy looking fruit, but it's super hard!" She said. "Then that ain't no ordinary apple!" Applejack said. Pinkie dropped it down to the ground. And it made a huge fucking explosion of debris! Not the biggest, but surprising. "What kind of a fruit is made of metal and that heavy!?" Twilight asked. Applejack walked up to the apple deep in the ground and reached for it. She tried pulling it out... And she did, with a lot of effort. "It's metal, alright." She said. "It looks gorgeous!" Rarity said, taking the apple. She dusted it off. "You'd think it's a real piece of fruit until you eat it! This is so pretty!" She said. "What sane person would eat a metallic fruit?" Goten asked. "Are you calling Pinkie insane?" Rainbow Dash asked. "I mean, I probably am! I eat SOO much sugar, I somehow have party cannons available, I don't know what 2 + 2 is, I don't know what I'm even talking about, am I even real, fish, ducks, and tons of sardines!" Pinkie sputtered. Everyone just looked at her in confusion. "I take it back." Rainbow Dash said. "It looks like there's a city over there." Goten said, pointing at said place. "Maybe we can find some of it's inhabitants!" Twilight said. "But we're not looking for new strains of bacteria here, Twilight!" Gohan said. "Aw!" Twilight said. "Cells are relatively boring... But that town looks advanced." Gohan said. "Eh. I guess you're right." Twilight said. *** The group strolled around the city. It was desolated, with no people for miles. It seems advanced, though. "What's with this town?" Gohan asked. "There's nobody here, is there?" Fluttershy asked. "Not that I can sense." Gohan said. "It's like a ghost town- No, a ghost planet." He added. "HEY! IS ANYONE THERE!?" Pinkie yelled. It echoed. ... Then every lamppost started glowing red, and there was a sound of sirens. Then... A bunch of green robot eyes appeared all over the place. Even the ground. "W-What is this!?" Rarity asked. Then, they all emerged from the ground as spherical robots. They all look like Giru. It's a Machine Mutant. https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/dragonball/images/b/b2/OP_Machine_Crowd.png/revision/latest?cb=2012030418072 The green ones. They all started growing arms and legs, and they all surrounded the group! "Pinkie, you're the one who called them, do something!" Rainbow Dash said. "Like what?" Pinkie asked. The robots just started to wander around. "Okay, what is going on?" Twilight asked. "Follow us! Follow us!" The robots said, flying to a tower right smack in the middle of town. "This sounds like a trap." Gohan said. "Who cares?" Rainbow Dash asked, walking towards the robots. Everyone else did so, too. "Come on, Gohan. It wouldn't hurt. Unless you need me to hold your hand for you." Sunset joked. "H-Hey!" Gohan said, following. *** The group somehow landed in a dark alley. "Are we about to be mugged?" Pinkie asked. "What a planet." Rainbow Dash said. Then a bunch of shadows started dancing all over the place. And everyone took notice. Gohan and Goten especially took notice, because of their life energies. Eventually there were three shadows on the walls. "You've come here... Heh." One said. "Guys, you better be careful. They have a lot of power." Gohan said. "Oh... You can peer through to the internal energy we are suppressing?" The same one asked. Then a red robot head peered through the shadow. "Interesting." He said. "Yeah." Gohan said. "In that case..." Sunset said, ponying up. Everyone else followed suit. "It is quite clear why Dr. Myuu wants these Saiyans so." Another robot said, peering it's purple head out. "It's for the Saiyans' intellect!" Another green head popped out. Then a blue one popped out. "Now, let us give them a sample of our power!" It said. Then there were tons of white flashes. Everyone was blinded. And Gohan and Goten's yells could be heard. BOOM! Big ass explosion! The flashes died down... The Humane 7 could see again. Apparently Gohan and Goten put up a barrier around them. Some buildings around them were decimated. "So, that's your power." Gohan said, letting the barrier die down. "This was the perfect day for all of us to wear our necklaces, huh?" Pinkie asked. The rest agreed. "I'm Son Gohan. Who are you." Gohan demanded. "You can call us... The Sigma Force." The red one said. There were four robots now. https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/villains/images/1/14/Sigma_Force_without_Nat.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20100313014750 "We will hold you prisoner." The red one said. "My foot!" Rainbow Dash yelled, dashing at them. "Watch out!" Gohan yelled. Apparently the purple one is turning into little metal marbles. The red one pointed a finger, and... They all turned to a bunch of Spike and rained down on her! "Dang it!" Goten yelled, shoving her out of the way. He got hit, or trapped, actually, "Everyone, move!" Gohan yelled, narrowly dodging the next barrage. Everyone did as such. The spikes all gathered up with Goten inside. And turned into the purple robot once more. With Goten's head sticking out of it's chest like a sore thumb. "What the heck is this?" He asked. "General Rildo will be most pleased with this." The red one said. "Goten! Don't worry, I'll get you out of there!" Gohan yelled, running at him. Then the green one shot it's fists out like Android 16, except it's tied to a string. Gohan punched the two of them away. The two fists were heading towards Rainbow Dash now. She instantly zoomed from the building to building, dodging all the directions it's heading in. Gohan was about to land a punch on the robot's head... But then it turned into liquid. 'Oh no.' He thought before he was punched away by the blue one. "Brother!" Goten yelled. Then suddenly, there was some gas spewing at Goten. He coughed. "I-It's sleeping gas... Ugh..." He said, falling asleep. "Uh oh." Gohan said, landing on his feet. "We must salvage what we can. They bolster impressive speed." The green one said, retracting his arms. "Hah! You suck! Dash - 6, sucker Robots - 0!" Rainbow Dash said. "Wha- How does that count as six points!?" Twilight asked. "We must bring this to General Rildo immediately." The purple one said. "Agreed." The others said, flying off. "Hey! Get back here!" Gohan yelled, trailing them. The Humane 7 all followed. 'Oh great, I can't go a week without something bad happening!' Gohan thought. 'Welcome to my life.' Goku said. Author's Note It's been too long since I posted. Problem is, Season 7 isn't even close to done, and I've been busy as hell. I thought I could drop this while I could, I got a ton of words down in Season 7. Now I'm going on a trip tomorrow, and I can't post for another five days or so, damn. Sorry. I will write as much as I can soon enough. Plus... The guy who killed Gohan's past is coming by after Season 7. And after that, THIS STORY IS O- I'll try to sustain it more, I got plans.
Traveling Planet: Another Enemy Pt. 2Back to where we were before... Gohan and the others were trailing four robots, the Sigma Force, because they took Goten. "Dang. They're fast. Have to resort to this..." Gohan muttered, putting two fingers to his forehead. He instantly appeared right in front of the robot carrying Goten, and smashed his fist down on him! "W-What!?" The red one asked, right before it got blasted by magic from Twilight. Rainbow Dash rammed herself into the green one, and Applejack pulled the blue one's head off. Gohan trailed his target, his main objective retrieving Goten. He managed to dropkick it in half, actually freeing Goten. Gohan caught Goten and carried him with one arm. The Humane 7 all flew down to them. "Well, we got Goten back." Rainbow Dash said. "And we took down some robots..." Twilight said. "We can never get a moment of peace... This is getting really annoying!" Gohan said. "I can see..." Sunset said. "You need a relaxation break." She added. "Later. First, we have to take care of this... Thing." Gohan said. The dropped robots... Molted into the ground...? Then they were normal again... Somehow. "That isn't good." Fluttershy said. "There must be some core to this. Let's get in there." Gohan said, pointing at the huge tower. "We need some to stay behind and handle this, though." Sunset said. The Sigma Force were all cackling... "Okay. Plan, effective immediately. Sunset, Fluttershy and I will go into the tower. Twilight, Rainbow, Pinkie, Applejack and Rarity, you handle the Sigma Force." Gohan said. "Wait, why just three to go in there?" Sunset asked. "And why five here?" Applejack asked. "And why me in that big... Scary place?" Fluttershy asked. "Four to handle the Sigma Force, one to watch over Goten." Gohan said. "Huh. You really believe we can take a crack at these guys?" Rainbow Dash asked, cracking her knuckles. "With your newfound power, I'm sure you can handle it." Gohan said. "Okay, Plan Save This Planet from An Empire That Will Be Revealed In The Future Chapters is officially happening!" Pinkie said. "Okay, what?" Twilight asked. "Let's go!" Gohan said, flying away. Sunset followed, as well as Fluttershy, but reluctantly. "Heheheh. Why do organic beings prefer to die in the sunshine?" The red one asked. "Alright, you Sigma Losers! Let's dance!" Rainbow Dash said, flying straight at them. Pinkie, Twilight, and Applejack followed while Rarity looked over Goten. "Fools." The red one said. Rainbow Dash missed a punch on the red one, which flew away. She trailed him, throwing a barrage of punches. Applejack flew at the big purple one, and the two rammed their shoulders into each other. Twilight and the green one were playing some sort of game. Where the green one was molting into the ground a million times. And then Pinkie fought the blue one. Rainbow Dash continued her assault, and the red one scanned her. They were flying into the air. He was knowing all her skills and fighting styles. He dodged a heavy punch, then she tried attacking with a double axe handle. He teleported behind her and axe kicked her down to the ground. Now, let's check in on how Twilight is doing. She's trying to smash her first into where the green one is, but... "WHY! WON'T! YOU! STAY! STILL!" She yelled, flying all over the place. Eventually she got tired and got on one knee to pant. The green one pointed and laughed. "Organic beings are simply futile against us." He said. Twilight's panting turned to... A small chuckle? She used her magic to hold him still! "What is this?" He asked, trying to move. "Magic! I got you now! And you're gonna suffer..." Twilight said. She cupped her hands together slightly. And the robot crushed into itself a bit! "Please stop! Please stop!" He kept repeating. "NOPE!" Twilight yelled, clapping her hands together. He got crushed into a tiny metal ball. Okay, let's get to Applejack, let's get to Applejack! She and the big purple one were clashing pretty intensely. Heavy hit after heavy hit. The purple one was scanning her moves... And once Applejack threw a heavy punch... He dodged and used his stretching arm to push her into multiple buildings! It seemed like it wasn't gonna end... Until... A giant diamond sliced right through the arm! "What! What! What! Danger!" The purple one said. Applejack picked herself up from some rubble. "Thanks, Rarity." She said, before jumping back in. "My pleasure." Rarity said. Applejack flew at the purple one, until- He turned his regenerated hand and his other hand into miniguns. And Applejack had to avoid that.... Close calls. Let's cut to Pinkie. "Error! Error! Error! Does not compute!" The blue one kept repeating as he was constantly hit from side to side. He couldn't scan Pinkie! Too random! His memory was being overloaded with rainbows and puppies! Pinkie had an enormous grin as she kept pummeling him. Rainbow Dash got herself back up. "Damn." She muttered. The red one landed nearby. "We fight calculating fight patterns of our opponents." He said. "Oh. Is that so?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Affirmative." The red one said. "Then I bet you won't see this!" Rainbow Dash said. She started appearing in multiple places around him. Trying to confuse him. She would strike, soon. He calculated the incoming attack. And he predicted where she would be. He threw a heavy punch, and- Rainbow Dash was punched in the gut! Hard. Like, you could see his fist, but it didn't penetrate her. Oh shit, I didn't mean it that way. Don't imagine it like that, you pervs! Anyway... She fell to the ground, holding her stomach. "It is futile." The red one said. "No it ain't..." Rainbow Dash said, getting up. "If you need unpredictable, then..." Rainbow Dash said, crossing her arms. "Come at me." She said. "Affirmative." The red one said. He molted into the ground again. Rainbow Dash was expecting him to hit her a few times. And he did... One punch in the back, one in the face, etc. He knocked her around a bit. Then, she found her chance. She extended her arms out to her side and yelled. She performed a Super Explosive Wave! The yellow explosion stretched out for half a mile! It actually damaged him. Let's cut to Applejack again. Actually, now her and Twilight were in hot pursuit of the purple one. And he was beating them up. Bad... Eventually they were knocked towards Rarity and fell to her feet. "That is not good..." Rarity said. 'Oh, I'd wish you'd wake up, Goten!' She thought. "That ain't good at all." Applejack said. "It's like he knows our every move or something." Twilight said. "Whee!" Pinkie yelled. Everyone looked over to her, even the purple robot. She was sitting on the neck of the blue one. "Error! Error! Error!" It kept repeating. "Whee! Take me to Hollywood and make me wanna go home after five minutes!" Pinkie yelled. Then the blue malfunctioned and stopped. "Aww! You're no fun!" Pinkie said, crossing her arms. She jumped off him and jumped to her friends excluding Rainbow. "Dang, you confused it." Twilight said. "I know, right?" Pinkie said. Rainbow Dash ended her explosion and panted. It took quite some out of her. The red one got some rocks off himself and was steaming mad. "How dare you harm us! We will end you right now. With the Sigma Force Cannon!" The red one said. "And when I thought your name wasn't stupid enough." Rainbow Dash said. "Form the Sigma Force Cannon!" The red one yelled. The other robots nodded and flew into the red one. After some flashes of light... BOOM! The Sigma Force Cannon! https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/dragonball/images/f/f4/Super_Mega_Cannon_Sigma_Power_Up.png/revision/latest?cb=20120827092027 "...That can't be good." Twilight said. "Indeed..." Rarity said. *** Gohan and the other two were in the tower. "What a big place." Gohan said. "Maybe we..." Sunset said. 'Please don't say split up for some more ground...' Fluttershy thought. "...Should stay together in numbers for safety." Sunset said. "Yay..." Fluttershy said. "I don't know, we would cover more ground if we split up." Gohan said. 'YOU SHUT YOUR MOUTH!' Fluttershy thought. "I guess you're right." Sunset said. "Aw..." Fluttershy said. "Okay, let's go!" Gohan said. Everyone split up. Let's start with Fluttershy. 'What am I even worried about? Gohan's confident that they could handle a Super force...' Fluttershy thought. Then she noticed that a giant robot was incoming... She panicked and jumped up to the ceiling. She hugged a pipe. A weak one... And as the big robot passed... The nuts and bolts of the pipe fell clean off. "Oh dear." Fluttershy said. Then the pipe fell down and she hit the robot on accident! "OW! What's the big idea!? Who did that!?" He asked, turning around. The pipe was there... But Fluttershy was nowhere to be seen. "Why isn't anyone here!? This is something I cannot compute." He said, walking away. Fluttershy sighed as she leaned on another wall. "Why did I come... My head hurts... I wanna go home... AH!" She screamed, falling through the wall and into some sort of conveyor belt. Of masks for the Machine Mutants. "Ouch... That hurts..." Fluttershy said. Then she was dropped onto some more masks. "Gohan? Sunset? Anyone...?" Fluttershy whimpered. Apparently there were body parts of all the Machine Mutants right there. And Fluttershy realized something. She picked up the mask and put it over herself. 'It may not be my style... But, It'll do!' She thought. *** In a hall where a few purple Machine Mutants were walking... One of them happened to be the tallest and most upright. And no red eye in the middle. 'They really think I'm one of them... Phew.' Fluttershy thought. She waved to a few passing robots. "Greetings." "Hello..." Fluttershy responded. "Greetings." "Howdy." Fluttershy responded. 'Well, I'd love to know you guys better, but I need to go!' She thought, running away. *** Let's cut to Sunset. 'What kind of a place is this?' She thought. She avoided the Machine Mutants as much as possible... She looked around while hiding behind the wall. A robot noticed her and walked up to her from behind. "Are you plant or animal?" He asked, startling her. She turned around and yelped. Sunset did the first thing off the top of her head. "I'm the end of the road for you, Jack!" She said, punching the crap out of him. She quickly flew away. The robot was releasing red lightning sparks and was broken down. Sunset sighed. "I just hope this Rilldo guy isn't too strong." She muttered. *** Let's cut to Gohan. 'This place is huge. I wonder who that General Rilldo those Sigma guys were talking about is.' He thought as he walked through the place. 'I wonder how strong he is!' Goku said. 'Of course you'd say that.' Gohan said, There were no Machine Mutants... For some reason. Then he noticed some sort of audience of Machine Mutants in one big room. And there was Rilldo at the podium. "All hail General Rilldo!" The Machine Mutants chanted. Rilldo quieted them with a wave of his hand. "As you all know, there are several organic extraterrestrials on the planet. Quickly dispose of them if you can. Bring one of them to Dr. Myuu or I and you will personally be awarded the Medal of Honor!" Rilldo said, throwing his fist up. "Long live Dr. Myuu! Long live General Rilldo!" The robots chanted. 'Rilldo is powerful! Ugh, I'll have to try yet again. But, now is not the time.' Gohan thought, moving away. *** Fluttershy ended up being in a line of Machine Mutants. 'I need to ditch you guys somehow...! I mean, not rudely...' She thought. They were all marching towards a wall. 'Where are we even going?' Fluttershy thought. Her question was answered as a robot passed through the wall like it was nothing. 'Oh no!' She thought. She stopped short in front of the wall. "Error! Never stop! Never stop!" The robot behind her said. 'What do I do!? I can't pass through walls!' Fluttershy thought. "You are impeding forward progress." The robot behind her said. 'Maybe I can just walk through...' Fluttershy thought. She got ready and dashed at the wall! ...She smashed into it and fell over. ... "Defective! Defective!" All the Machine Mutants said, pointing at her. They even came through the wall to just point and laugh. They ended up dragging her somewhere... "Where are you taking me!?" Fluttershy asked. The Machine Mutants tossed her in the defective storage unit and closed the door. "Ow..." Fluttershy whimpered. 'Okay... Now, where am I...?' She thought as she got up. "Giru! Giru!" A robot yelled, startling Fluttershy. She turned around in fear to see a bunch of defective robots. Mostly broken. There was one that was... Not damaged. It was white with a red ocular. https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/p__/images/d/dc/Giru.png/revision/latest?cb=20140122175230&path-prefix=protagonist He was curled up into a tiny ball. "Who are you...?" Fluttershy asked. "Need energy! Energy needed to function! Giru!" He said. "Oh! Uh... What do you eat?" Fluttershy asked. "Any kind of metal is sufficient!" He said. "Oh, okay!" Fluttershy said. She started to take off her disguise, revealing that she's organic. She started crushing the metal together. "Are you plant or animal?" The robot asked. "I'm a human... Here, eat up." Fluttershy said, breaking the disguise into smaller pieces and holding it out to him. The robot opened itself in half (kinda) and used suction to pull the purple metal piece in. "Hmm..." He said. He sprang up and suddenly grew arms and legs. He struck a dab pose. "Giru fully operational!" He said. "So... I take it that your name is Giru?" Fluttershy asked. "Affirmative! Giru! Giru!" Giru said. "I also identify as T2006, or DB4649T2006RS!" He said. "DB6... I'll just name you Giru." Fluttershy said. "Giru! Giru!" Giru said. "You don't seem to be defective..." Fluttershy said. "Giru does not agree with Dr. Myuu or General Rilldo! Giru declared defective by Dr. Myuu himself!" Giru said. "Oh... That's how you ended up here...?" Fluttershy asked. "Affirmative! This is robot hell! Giru, Giru!" Giru said. "Oh... You poor thing." Fluttershy said. "What is your name?" Giru asked. "Me? I'm Fluttershy." Fluttershy said. "What are you doing here?" Giru asked. "Oh... This planet was in our planet's orbit... My friends and I came here, and now we have to deal with this trouble..." Fluttershy said. "Help Giru escape, please! Giru!" Giru said. "What happened?" Fluttershy asked. "Dr. Myuu built an empire after murdering the people who inhabited Planet M-2! Giru!" Giru said. "His dream only consists of perfection! Which is why many other robots, including Giru, have been placed here!" He said. "Oh no!" Fluttershy said. "However!" Giru said, jumping up and into Fluttershy's arms. "Giru trusts that you have a way out, and a plan to stop Dr. Myuu!" He said. "Well... I may not be the solution, but I think I know someone." Fluttershy said, petting Giru. "But, we have to get to him somehow. Hold on, and stay quiet." Fluttershy said, walking up to the closed doors.
Traveling Planet: Another Enemy Pt. 3"Prepare for combat." The Sigma Force Cannon said, charging at the six. "And that is our cue to jump out of the way!" Rainbow Dash said. Everyone jumped out of the way, with Rarity carrying Goten. The fused robot used his reaching arm to fire his fist at Pinkie! Pinkie fired a blast at it with both hands! ...But it did nothing, as the hand grabbed Pinkie and smashed her into the ground. "Pinkie!" Rainbow Dash yelled, flying down at the rope, or something. She rammed herself into it! No damage. A red blast hit her from the side! Pinkie and Rainbow Dash were sufficiently damaged. The fused robot took his fists back. "Wake up, Goten!" Rarity said. The robot decided that Rarity was his next target. So, he fired two of his fists at her! Rarity held her palm out and formed a strong diamond! The fists were too powerful, and they broke right through! 'Oh no.' Rarity thought right before she was punched away. She dropped Goten. "Any ideas!?" Applejack asked Twilight. "Well, that depends... Can you get him in a full nelson?" Twilight asked. "...Any plans that include not killing me?" Applejack asked. "Well, we could shake Goten up." Twilight said. BOOM! Goten crash landed! "Gohan is gonna kill us." Applejack said. The Sigma Force Cannon cackled in it's robot voice. "You insects do not stand a chance." He said. There was groaning at Goten's crash site. Goten got up! He dusted his hair off. "Ugh... What happened?" He asked. "Goten!" The rest of the group said. "Get that ugly, no good varmit!" Applejack said. "And with no mercy!" Twilight yelled. "Uh... Okay!" Goten said, turning into a Super Saiyan. "What is this? Your power has increased fifty times fold." The robot said. "It's called Super Saiyan. Now..." Goten said, turning Super Saiyan 2! "W-What!? Hundred times fold!?" The robot asked. "I'm gonna have fun with you!" Goten said, right before he dashed at the Sigma Force Cannon. He was too fast. He rammed his head into it's face! It cracked the visor. "How dare you!" The Cannon said. Goten started smashing his fists into it from side to side. "Wow... We are seriously weak." Twilight said. "Don't say that..." Rainbow Dash said. *** "Ready, Giru? This isn't going to be a stealth mission." Fluttershy said. "Ready! Giru!" Giru said. Fluttershy aimed her hand at the doors and fired a powerful ki blast! BOOM! The doors exploded, and the alarm went off! Fluttershy dashed out of there with Giru! *** Rilldo was in his captain's chair, relaxing... Until the P.A. came on. "Intruder alert. Intruder alert." Rilldo groaned. "On screen, right away!" He said. There was Fluttershy on the screen, carrying Giru. Robots were flying at her, so she ponied up. "That rat needs to be put in a cage. Hmm... Her power's increased many times fold... An interesting creature." Rilldo said. "Emergency! Emergency! Sigma Force completely destroyed!" The P.A. said, showing the screen of Goten beating the fu- I mean, beating up the Sigma Force Cannon. "What!? These life forms have more of a punch than I thought! Gr... At this rate, I'll have to join in." Rilldo said, standing up. *** "Kamehameha!" Goten yelled, destroying the Sigma Force Cannon with his Kamehameha. "Curse! You!" The robot yelled as he was being destroyed. "Finally! You saved our bacon, Goten!" Pinkie said. "Let's wait until Gohan, Sunset and Fluttershy come back." Rainbow Dash said. But then.... Goten felt something strange. "Guys... A big power level is coming at us." Goten said. *** The alarms notified Gohan and Sunset that they could just wipe out everyone now. So... "ATATATATATATATAT-" "HRRAAAAGH! HIYA! TEI!" And Fluttershy was brawling as well. The three managed to meet each other at some sort of fourway hallway. "Oh, there you guys are!" Gohan said. "At least we found each other." Sunset said. "Thank goodness." Fluttershy said. "Giru! Giru! Power level exponential!" Giru said. "And who's this little guy?" Sunset asked. "His name is Giru! You could call him a rebel, of sorts..." Fluttershy said. "Well, let's all get to know him later. We need to get to the others, I think General Rilldo is coming at them, fast!" Gohan said, aiming his palm at the wall. *** Rilldo was flying at the other group, 'You're going to regret making me come out here. You're all going to pay dearly!' He thought. *** "It's here!" Goten said, getting in his fighting pose. Rilldo arrived with tons of wind and debris flying. "I must say, I'm impressed. A mere child beating my Sigma Force." He said, as the debris went away. "If I hadn't watched it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it." He said. "Look!" Rainbow Dash yelled. "You better go back where you came from or you're next!" She said. "Rainbow, now is not the time for that." Goten said. He could feel that Rilldo was leagues above him. "I am General Rilldo, and I rule here." Rilldo said. "Not anymore! Hyaaa!" Rainbow Dash yelled, charging at him, "No!" Goten yelled. The rest of the group braced for whatever was gonna happen to Rainbow Dash... But... Rainbow Dash actually punched him in the face! And kicked him away! He looked damaged! The rest of the group, most notably Goten, were surprised. "T-That... Uh..." Goten said. "He's weak!" Applejack said. "No, he isn't!" Goten said. "Now, leave our planet alone, General with the stinky attitude!" Pinkie said. "I'm afraid I can't do that." Rilldo said. He slowly got up, clearly unscathed. Scared the rest of the group. "You see, all life forms must be replaced with Machine Mutants. We have been going from planet to planet doing this. This is all integral to Dr. Myuu's plan to conquer the galaxy!" Rilldo said. "The galaxy? Gr... My brother's gonna beat you down once he gets here!" Goten said. Gohan, Sunset, and Fluttershy just landed in front of Goten. "Speak of the devil." Applejack said. "Is that a robot!?" Twilight asked. "Not now!" Rarity said. "Hmph. Your power level is greater than that of the other boy." Rilldo said. Gohan shot him a mean glare. "You must be General Rilldo. I'm Son Gohan." He said. "It appears my reputation precedes that of mere organic beings." Rilldo said. "I'm not about to let you harm anyone else." Gohan said, getting into his fighting pose. "Everyone else, stand back." He said. "An amusing tactic. However..." Rilldo said. He shot a green blast from his mouth straight at Rainbow Dash! She screamed in pain as she... She was turned into metal! "Rainbow, no!" Fluttershy yelled, running to her new metal casing. "Danger! Danger! Giru!" Giru said. "T2006." Rilldo said. "Giru...!" Giru said with fear. "Rainbow, wake up!" Fluttershy said. The metal Rainbow Dash vanished. Taken to the laboratory. "Y-You beast!" Fluttershy yelled. She let Giru down and ponied up. "You bring her back right now!" She yelled, jumping up and throwing a fist! He didn't even flinch, "Silly nuisance." Rilldo said, backhanding her away. "What did you do to Rainbow Dash!?" Sunset asked. "Your friend is being taken away to be one of Dr. Myuu's guinea pigs. Think of it as an honor!" Rilldo said. "What do you mean by that!?" Pinkie yelled. "I think I understand. It's like Instant Transmission. But where is she?" Gohan asked. "If you must know... That tower behind me. The one you rudely intruded." Rilldo said. "He will be taken to Dr. Myuu's lab, where he will be dissected and studied." Rilldo said. "The rest of you need to get to that tower and get Rainbow Dash back!" Gohan said. "Sounds like a plan." Twilight said. The rest of the Humane 7 and Goten all flew away. Giru trailed them from behind. "Wait for Giru! Giru!" He said. Rilldo chuckled. "First, you... Then the rest of those little brats! Hraaagh!" He yelled, during the same green blast from before from his mouth. Gohan jumped away to dodge, and that part of the ground turned to metal. 'Oh boy.' He thought as he dodged another blast. Hitting the tree behind him. It turned into pure metal. Rilldo tried many more times in vain. Gohan was just too nimble! Rilldo stopped... And smiled? "You're fast! But not if I disable your movements... The old fashioned way." Rilldo said, getting into a brawler's pose. Gohan flew down to the ground. "I want to end this as quickly as possible. I want this needless fighting to go away!" He said. Rilldo cackled. "Who said anything about fighting yet?" He asked. Gohan just happened to be standing on metal... And a metal hand grabbed his foot. More metal from trees grabbed his other limbs. "H-Hey!" He said. This metal molted into... The Sigma Force!? "New and improved. And factory inspected. You are doomed." Rilldo said. Gohan grinned and chuckled. "Is death funny?" Rilldo asked. "No way. But... I'm not dying today." Gohan said. Gohan powered up, and made his aura flare! He turned into a Super Saiyan! He destroyed some area around him, and the Sigma Force! Rilldo was pushed back a bit, and he held his hands up to block this insane power. BOOM! Gohan created a nice crater in the middle of town. Rilldo was able to see again... He looked at the Super Saiyan in front of him. "Your power has increased fifty fold!" Rilldo said. Gohan just stared back at him. "So it's true. I was right, shame on you. You've been holding back your true power!" Rilldo said. "Yes. I have. And I'm still holding it back. Now, why don't we begin, General?" Gohan asked. Author's Note Well, you can guess what the next chapter is. Anyway... I may as well give power levels. Sigma Force Cannon - 12,500,000,000 Rilldo - 2,000,000,000,000
Traveling Planet: Another Enemy Pt. 4The group were above the tower. "Okay, so we need some sort of plan." Twilight said. "Giru knows the way to Dr. Myuu!" Giru said. "That's great!" Fluttershy said. "Right." Sunset said. "We can't just waltz in and-" "WHEE!" Pinkie interrupted, firing a huge blast at the tower. It put a hole in it so they could get in. "Pinkie!" Everyone but Giru yelled. "What? They already knew we were here." Pinkie said. "Oh. Right. Well, let's get to this Myuu and save Rainbow Dash!" Sunset said. *** "Let's go." Rilldo said. Gohan and Rilldo ran at each other and their arms clashed! Gohan's smaller size made it laughable. The two started throwing barrages of punches and kicks all over the town. So much so that they landed in the forest again. They made a huge mess, sending debris everywhere. Eventually they made their way to the air. Gohan threw a heavy punch, which Rilldo dodged. Rilldo kneed Gohan in the stomach and kicked him in the sides twice! Gohan managed to recover, and dodged and incoming upperkick. But, Rilldo knew that. So he performed an axe kick on Gohan! Knocking him down to the ground! But... Gohan flew back up before he reached the ground, leaving dust behind. Rilldo was caught by surprise, and he was instantly kneed in the chin! Gohan wasn't done there, he uppercutted Rilldo, then pummeled his stomach ten times, and finally, kicked him in the stomach to knock him straight into a building! Rilldo was in the wall... "Are we really through here, General? Or are you just bluffing?" Gohan asked. Rilldo grinned... He aimed his fist and did an Android 16 rocket punch on Gohan! Got him right in the forehead! The fist flew away. "Ow! What an attack!" Gohan said, holding his head. Rilldo got himself off the wall. "I have many special talents. In fact, behind you, there comes another one!" He said. Gohan turned around to be greeted by not a fist, but an open hand, It grabbed Gohan's face and pushed him through several buildings! And straight into the ground. It was still dragging. Then it finally returned to Rilldo, with Gohan's head still held. He chuckled. ... "You're in for a surprise, too." Gohan said, surprising Rilldo. Gohan threw a barrage of ki blasts right at Rilldo's stomach! He didn't stop until Rilldo finally let go of him. Rilldo finally let go. The smoke died down. Rilldo was grinning. "When our scientists are done with you, you're going to make an extraordinary Mutant robot!" He said. "You mean I would be turned into one of those robots?" Gohan asked. "Not quite. You'll probably look a little like me." Rilldo said. "Oh. That's a downer. I don't want to stay a kid forever, but I don't want to instantly look like you." Gohan said. (If you know the foreshadowing... Good on you.) "My girlfriend would have a heart attack if I lost to you, and was turned into one of you." Gohan added. Rilldo did not like the insult, and charged at Gohan! Gohan charged as well! The two rammed into each other, destroying a nearby building. *** A pack of Machine Mutants were roaming the halls. "Intruder alert. Intruder alert. Description: Organic, six females and one male. Seek and destroy. Seek and destroy." The Mutants chanted. The group was 20 feet in front of them. "I suppose this is the welcoming party." Rarity said. "Did you say party? Because this is a bad one." Pinkie said. "Ugh... Let's just fight them already." Sunset said. The seven all dashed into the crowd of robots. And they dispatched of them real easy. The punches, the kicks, the occasional ki blast... Only one remained, and tried to crawl away. "Danger! Danger!" It repeated, right before Applejack grabbed it's tail and pulled it back. "Oh no you ain't." Applejack said. "Tell us! Where's our friend being held!?" Sunset demanded. *** A lab... Rainbow Dash was in a tube of sorts. "Beginning molecular destabilization." A robot said. And just in that moment... The door blew up! "We're here!" Pinkie said. And Rainbow Dash's metal body was already transported. "Oh no!" Sunset said. "Group too late! Rainbow one already transmitted to Dr. Myuu's lab!" Giru said. "Where is she!?" Fluttershy demanded uncharacteristically. "Danger! Danger!" The robots said as they tried escaping. Applejack smashed her fists together. "It's an all you can eat buffet of beating down robots!" She said. "Then let's get them!" Goten yelled. *** In another place on M-2... There was German cackling. "What a splendid piece of artwork! Randomness is just my favorite! The expression, the emotion! Is captured so beautifully! You can almost feel and taste the pain that is etched on her face." A certain doctor said. Myuu. "A pitiful creature... Smile, as soon, you will be turned into a mutant." Myuu said, cackling. *** Gohan and Rilldo were still clashing... Until Gohan jumped back a few feet and aimed his fingers at his own face. "Solar Flare!" He yelled, unleashing that bright light. Rilldo was blinded! "Urgh! What!?" He yelled. Then, he was punched down into a mountain! All the rocks and broken rocks fell on him! Gohan moved to another location. Rilldo screamed, and destroyed all the debris on him with his yellow aura! "Now... Where is he?" He muttered, looking around. He was gone. "Kamehameha!" Gohan yelled from behind, unleashing the devastating blast on Rilldo. Rilldo was caught by surprise, and it was a direct hit! Screaming in pain as it hit him. BOOM! Now, the whole mountain blew up, and it was just a crater. "Is it over...?" Gohan muttered. 'Jeez, you've gotten a lot stronger than I thought. Your fighting is a lot sharper than last time!' Goku said. Gohan noticed the General from behind. 'Now is not the time, dad.' Gohan said. "I guess not. Hello again, General Rilldo." He said. Rilldo was pretty damaged... His cheek was kinda peeled off, so you could see the nuts and bolts. Same went for his shoulder and chest plate. "I'm really starting to dislike you, kid." Rilldo said. "As if I didn't hear that every time." Gohan said. "You guys have really tough skin. I'm impressed." He said. Rilldo grinned. More of the Sigma Force was coming. And he knew it. The two jumped down to the ground, in the forest. "You should quit the weak act. Just go full power already." Gohan said. "Hmph. I guess I'm not such a good actor." Rilldo said. The Sigma Force appeared behind Rilldo. "Again?" Gohan asked. They molted into Rilldo himself! Rilldo started powering up, fit with screams and a green tornado aura. 'That's not good. It's much more than I expected.' Gohan thought. 'But you're holding back too.' Goku said. 'Yeah, but that means going Super Saiyan 2.' Gohan said. "META RILLDO!" Rilldo screamed, and the aura died down. Gohan looked up in astonishment. "I don't like the look of this." He said. The smoke around Rilldo died down, revealing a new Rilldo... Meta Rilldo! https://img00.deviantart.net/be5d/i/2014/084/5/e/metal_rilldo_by_luigicuau10-d4g7nou.png He was fully healed! "Yes, what a rush! I've almost forgotten what it feels like! It's impossible for a race like yours to survive against our Mutant civilization!" Rilldo said. "Why not? Enlighten me. I'm holding back a great deal of my power against you." Gohan said. "You cannot beat us because you are a race of individuals! Each with his own selfish motives! We live for one purpose alone! Our energies are focused, and yours are scattered! We cooperate with one another, you do not! Your race is inferior, it must die!" Rilldo yelled. ... Gohan chuckled... No, no... Laughed. Why? "You honestly think we don't cooperate? Even robots have selfish motives. They all want to survive, just like we do." Gohan said. "Don't make me laugh by comparing your race to ours." Rilldo said. "How about I show you some of my full resolve?" Gohan said. "Hah! Like it'll go against the mighty Meta Rilldo!" Rilldo said, making his drill spin. Gohan made his aura flare for a split second, and with that, his hair changed and smoke formed. He was a Mastered Super Saiyan 2! Lightning sparks were all around him. You could see it past the smoke that died down. Gohan's face was a lot more serious. "Y-Your power level... It... It just octupled!" Rilldo said. "Hmph. And I thought you had a bug in your system. Let's go, General." Gohan said, getting into his fighting pose. Rilldo let out a war cry as he flew at Gohan, and Gohan charged at him as well. Stay tuned for the next episode of Dragon Ball Super! Wait a minute... Author's Note If you know the subliminal messages in here... Good for you. Also, if you know about Rilldo in general... You can realize a few things. Meta Rilldo - 13,000,000,000,000
Traveling Planet: Another Enemy Pt. 5Gohan and Rilldo were fighting. The rammed their heads into each other, then they both threw a punch at each other's punch, then Gohan kneed Rilldo in the stomach, then threw a blast at his face, which burned off a piece of his helmet, prompting Rilldo to fire his Metal Breath, which Gohan blasted in another direction. It hit the ground, and all the trees around it all turned to metal. Rilldo punched Gohan down to the metal land he created. Gohan landed safely, but Rilldo wasn't done. "Hyper Meta Rilldo Palm!" Rilldo yelled, aiming his palm at Gohan. "And here I was hoping you would try to find some different fighting techniques!" Gohan said. Rilldo's palm turned into a gigantic drill that kept growing in size! Gohan was able to hold it back with one hand, and Rilldo was being pushed back a ton. "What is this!?" Rilldo asked. "That's a pretty different technique, I take it back." Gohan said, using his free arm (right) to put two fingers to his forehead. Gohan teleported right behind Rilldo, and unleashed a ki blast on him! Rilldo was hurt and blinded by a smokescreen of sorts, and Gohan used that to his advantage. He kicked Rilldo up, then teleported behind him to perform a double axe handle, sending him right at the ground! Gohan wasn't done there, he threw a barrage of ki blasts right at Rilldo! Rilldo was getting a bit more pissed. He landed safely, and screamed, forming a barrier around him. But, that was clearly a bad idea, since Gohan's attacks destroyed it, and Rilldo was being hurt even more. He was sent flying across the land with more and more ki blasts, and it could be seen from miles away. Dear God, the land was just metal at this point. Rilldo's drill broke off, and his armor was just fucked. He still had that smirk on his face. Gohan landed nearby. "You're a lot stronger in your new form, but don't think I can't rise to anything new." He said. Rilldo just cackled. "What an unexpected pleasure... Quite interesting... This is the Super Saiyan power that Dr. Myuu was seeking?" He asked. "This is a Super Saiyan 2. And I can go even further beyond that. But don't think you'll be able to grasp it at all." Gohan said. "Oh, but my power can rise even more! Watch!" Rilldo said. He started laughing as wires started to appear from the ground. He held his arm to the side and it was encased in the wires. His armor was fully healed! Much to Gohan's surprise. Then, Rilldo's entire body was encased in Crystal. 'He's a lot stronger...!' Goku said. 'It's not that bad.' Gohan said. Then... Rilldo had a new look and a purple aura. He... Is Hyper Meta Rilldo! https://i.redditmedia.com/iH-kwaWXpdT7Zc8R1NwtoaK3gR6ErKitEU8lpUkzSv0.jpg?w=320&s=42b8baca170ef0700c5f621168dd2d95 The ground became encased in a shinier metal. Then, to Gohan's surprise, a bunch of metal poles started erupting from the ground. Gohan was caught in one of them, and they all turned into trees. It was a forest of metal trees, damn it! Rilldo grinned as he molted into the ground. The forest just grew bigger and bigger. *** The others were mass murdering all the robots in the building, slowly getting to a higher part of the tower. "They just never end, darn it!" Applejack yelled, hurling a robot corpse at a horde of Mutants. "You'd expect that from a planet full of metal, and they seem to have an infinite source with that General Rilldo!" Twilight said, using her magic to push them all back. "Don't worry, Giru knows you getting closer to friend!" Giru said, dodging all the Mutants. "Good!" Fluttershy said, blasting another Mutant. *** The trees were getting bigger, but Gohan escaped their wrath. One tree turned into Rilldo, who was charging at Gohan. "It seems you cannot fathom the full extent of my power!" He yelled as he fired his Metal Breath at Gohan. He narrowly dodged it. But the already metal trees were turned into molten metal. The molten metal flew up to trap Gohan and Rilldo. "Metal bending... You're a lot craftier than I expected." Gohan said. Rilldo laughed. "That's not all, you're done, Saiyan!" He yelled, pulling the metal all in. Gohan quickly used Instant Transmission to escape the trap. Rilldo just used the molten metal to keep him in the air. Then he molted back into the ground. "Have you put it together, yet, Saiyan? The mighty Meta Rilldo is not just a superior fighter, but a part of the very planet itself!" Rilldo said from the molten metal. "I can see that. And I know how to end you." Gohan said. 'But I need to get Rainbow Dash back to normal somehow...' He thought. "I can manipulate all the metal of M-2 at will! Everything here you see exists as a part of my body, and I have every intention of using it all to finish you off!" Rilldo yelled. He sent a giant molten ball at Gohan. Gohan made his aura flare to send the metal flying elsewhere. "I caught on to your control of the metal on this floating planet a while ago. And I don't want to deal with it." He said. Rilldo made all the molten metal fly up. *** Myuu cackled in his laboratory. He inspected Rainbow Dash. But, also watched the fight between Gohan and Rilldo. "The legendary Super Saiyan actually right here in front of me. This is one of the days that makes life worth living... I can finally get my revenge on the Saiyans that killed my brother 10 years ago... And the Saiyan race for killing off mine!" Myuu yelled. ... (Guess his brother and I will personally give you five imaginary dollars, or whatever currency you have converted from 5 USD.) "However... Rainbow Dash. I'm quite excited to take a look at your data!" Myuu said, cackling. "It is the Saiyan ferocity and human ferocity that amazes me. It is good that we have you contained... General Rilldo should be sending your seven other friends to me right now." He said. *** Gohan was trying to fight Rilldo... Gohan waited for him to appear with his body. And once he did... "There you are! Ha!" Gohan yelled, firing a single blast, making the Rilldo disintegrate. Gohan stood on a platform. The disintegrated metal just turned into Rilldo again. Gohan threw another blast at him! And he just melted again... He made the platform Gohan stood on into a giant hand that tried grabbing him, but to no avail. Gohan flew away, but not before metal pillars were sent at him. I mean thousands. 'You have to be kidding me!' Gohan thought. He started punching and kicking them all away! But they were too much, and formed a ball around Gohan. "See you in the next life, Super Saiyan!" Rilldo said, using his metal bending to send a giant molten but hard splash of metal into the ball, ramming into Gohan. He was rammed into the ground. Rilldo took his metal back and became a guy again. Gohan stood up, with his clothes rather tattered. But he showed no signs of tiredness or injury. "You're good." Gohan said. "Hah! You don't even realize it. The more you fight me, the more you will die! Until you rid this planet of all the metal it contains, I will always have a body to bring to the battle! Now, if you don't know, this is the part where you concede, and make the smart decision to hand yourself, and the other Saiyan and humans over to Dr. Myuu!" Rilldo said, cackling. 'I'm in a tight pickle... I could just blow up the planet, but that means killing Rainbow Dash.' Gohan thought. 'Then you need to confront Myuu head on and take Rainbow Dash back.' Goku said. 'With Rilldo on the scene, that's gonna be hard... I have to just put my hopes in everyone else as I hold Rilldo off. This guy has a weak spot somewhere else, I need to find it.' Gohan thought. 'I wonder what else this kid is hiding.' Rilldo asked. The two charged at each other with full aura! The impact of that put a giant crater in the planet! Gohan threw a fist, which Rilldo teleported to dodge. But, Gohan predicted his next move, and kicked Rilldo in the cheek! Rilldo retaliated by throwing a barrage of punches at Gohan! But Gohan dodged them all. Rilldo performed a double axe handle on Gohan, but he teleported behind Rilldo and kicked him square in the face! Sent Rilldo splashing into the water. But he emerged unexpectedly, kicking Gohan towards the city! Gohan landed in a building. Rilldo teleported to the scene, trying to find Gohan... The building happened to have a nine camera projector. 'Where did that Saiyan brat go...!?' Rilldo thought. "There's no use in hiding!" Rilldo yelled, firing a ki blast at rubble. That set the projector off, and there was a theatre movie playing of a wolfbat jumping an angel lady. Rilldo saw a silhouette of Gohan on the screen... And turned around. Only to be met with a powerful punch! Straight into that movie, fuck the fourth wall, yeah! Rilldo emerged, clearly enraged. Gohan couldn't help but laugh. "This is pretty funny from down here, Rilldo! You look just like the monster on the screen! Is he your twin brother?" He roasted. With Rilldo's position, it really looked like he was there. Enough about that, he was mad. He destroyed the projector with some ki, making Gohan jump away. Rilldo trailed him, throwing a punch that would miss. But, the next punch he threw sent Gohan through the building and into the next one! A mall, it seems. Gohan happened to land on two juice dispensers, which were pouring juice on Gohan's hair. 'Well, I'd complain, but it actually tastes good.' Gohan thought. 'Even I can taste it! Mmm!' Goku said. Rilldo burst through the wall. "I'm getting tired of playing around with you, boy!" He yelled. Gohan stood up. "Playing around? I'm just getting warmed up, Rilldo." He said. Rilldo was mad, and he was about to fire his Metal Breath again! But Gohan used the juice to his advantage, and blasted it at Rilldo, making him stop! But the breath got to the juice and the dispense. Rilldo was wiped himself off, but then Gohan was gone. "Hey!" Rilldo heard. "I'm over here!" Rilldo jumped down on the ground and stomped to where he heard the voice. "This way, shiny!" 'Thanks for the insults.' Gohan thought. 'Yep! I got trash can, tin foil, aluminum...' Goku went on. Rilldo was still looking around for Gohan. Gohan was actually on the outside window, standing on a pipe. A bad place to be, since his weight pulled it down and broke it. Rilldo rammed through the wall looking for him! Gone again. "So! Shall you hide like a coward!? Or fight like a Saiyan!? Or are they one of the same!? SHOW YOURSELF!" Rilldo screamed. He was kicked in the back of the head into a building! "It's called stealth!" Gohan yelled. "DAMN YOOOOU!" Rilldo screamed, destroying the building. "Someone's hotheaded." Gohan said. "AAAAAAHHHHHH!" Rilldo screamed. *** Myuu was about to start dissecting Rainbow Dash. "It's not a Saiyan, but it will do." He said. "Begin the molecular reconstruction operation, now!" Myuu demanded his Mutants. There was a saw, laser and many other surgical tools on the ceiling, about to go down on Rainbow Dash. "OH NO YOU DON'T!" Pinkie screamed, bursting through the wall! The rest of the Humane 7 and Goten came through as well, all ponied up and Super Saiyan 2. "That's our friend!" Fluttershy said. "That's right! Giru!" Giru said. "T2006... How dare you!" Myuu said. "Giru only helping!" Giru said, opening himself up a bit to show he has a machine gun and a missile. He fired the missile. Myuu screamed as the missile went straight for him! Some Mutants came to his aid. "Giru can reverse effects of metal!" Giru said, pulling out something that looks like a knife out of his chest. "Really? Then reverse our friend, please!" Rarity said. "Stop! I command you to stop!" Myuu said. "How dare you betray me!? I am your creator!" He said. "Betray? Myuu betray Giru! Giru help new friends!" Giru said. "W-What?" Myuu asked. "Dr. Myuu no friend of Giru! No friend! Enemy! Giru! Giru!" Giru said. "Yeah, you tell him Giru! Watch out Myuu! Before he calls you a meaniebutt!" Pinkie said. Giru pressed a red button on the knifelike object, and it sent a beam at Rainbow Dash. "I-It can't be... You were working with them the whole time!" Myuu said. It undid the effects of the metal breath! Rainbow Dash was normal again! "Huh...?" She asked as she got up. "Rainbow!" Fluttershy said. Rainbow Dash cracked her body. "My body feels like it's stiff..." She said. "Mission complete!" Sunset said. "Have General Rilldo report to this location at once!" Myuu said. "AND GET THEM!" He commanded. The Mutants all charged at the Humane 7 and Goten. "Well, no time for nappy!" Rainbow Dash said, jumping off her table. The eight all beat down the remaining Mutants with ease. Rarity was able to cut them and ram them into each other with her diamonds. Applejack was able to dissect them with her bare hands. Pinkie just made them malfunction as they looked at them. Rainbow Dash used her super speed to ram through them all. Twilight was using her magic to dissect them as well. Fluttershy and Goten were smashing their fists into the Mutants. Myuu tried escaping to some sort of room, but Rainbow Dash stepped in front of the entrance. "Sorry, doc. From what I heard from you, you have some secret stuff behind this door." She said. "Girls, Goten, and robot on our side, why don't you come up here and see what Dr. Myuu's been up to?" She asked. "He has a secret?" Goten asked. Rainbow Dash put her finger on the open button. "No! Please!" Myuu said, desperately lunging to Her arm. Too late. It was opened. Much to his horror. Apparently there was some sort of... Cell. What the hell is it? Why am I boring you with these extra words? Isn't obvious as to what the hell it actually is if you watched GT? Find out next time, on the next Dragon Ball Z! Wait... That's not right either! Author's Note Remember the thing when I said I'll give you five dollars? I think Imma change it to $2.50. Super Meta Rilldo - 23,000,000,000,000
Traveling Planet: Another Enemy Pt. 6'C-C-C-Combo!' Goku said. ...As Gohan performed a double axe handle on Rilldo. After performing a combination of sorts. 'I understand you get hyped, father. But this isn't enjoyable!' Gohan thought, throwing a ki blast at Rilldo. 'My cheers or fighting Rilldo?' Goku asked. Rilldo came flying back up at Gohan. 'Fighting. I haven't gotten peace so much recently.' Gohan thought as he dodged a fist. Gohan pummeled Rilldo in the stomach five times before uppercutting him. He trailed him, and punched him straight into another building! 'Huh. If I were in your shoes, I'd be excited at all the stuff you go through.' Goku said. Gohan added a powerful yellow blast to the mix, destroying the entire building. 'I can see that... I just wish you were here to handle all of it. I don't like playing hero nearly every day.' Gohan thought. Rilldo screamed and sent tons of molten metal at Gohan. Gohan threw two blasts at the metal to create an opening for him to travel through. Rilldo was through that hole. Gohan flew through it and punched him in the cheek, then put two hands to his chest before blasting him away. 'I know, you hate to fight.' Goku said. 'It's not that, I like it as a sport. It's just that I can't give up the parts I hate about it since there is too much evil.' Gohan thought as he flew towards Rilldo. *** Myuu was freaking the hell out. His secret was being exposed, damn it! There was a huge container with some sort of life form inside of it... There was a bridge to it. Atop tons of water. The group walked in. "S-Stop it! Don't get any closer!" Myuu yelled, walking closer to it. The others just let him through for some reason... "My Baby.... My Baby! I'm sorry! Please forgive me for allowing them to see you!" Myuu said. Damn. You could see a heartbeat in his back. "I did not want to expose you to the eyes of such filthy creatures before you attained your complete form!" Myuu said. He was limping to the thing. "This is getting weird." Pinkie whispered to Rainbow Dash. "I'm sorry, Baby! I know how long you've been waiting, how lonely it is to be in there!" Myuu said. He was crying on a computer now. "Uh... What's that thing in the water?" Goten asked. "That's not just water! It's a compound made to sustain bio mechanical- HOW DID YOU DO THAT!?" Twilight asked. "It looks like a robot baby!" Pinkie said. "His name is Baby! I've used a restructuring method not used on any other robot on this planet! When it's full grown, it will surpass you all!" Myuu said. "When Dr. Myuu's project completed, all other robots to be dismantled!" Giru said. "Then let's kill it before it makes babies!" Rainbow Dash said, aiming her palms at it. "Wait..." Goten said. "Technically, it's never done anything wrong... Doesn't it mean it has a right to life?" Goten, the conservative asked. "Listen, Goten." Rainbow Dash said. "This isn't about a right to life... It's about making a choice. A choice we all need to make. A choice between a terrible mistake that could ruin lives, and- Fuck it, I'm dropping the pretenses; We're aborting Baby!" She said. She fired a powerful yellow blast at Baby. BOOM! Smoke and everything. "No...! You can't!" Myuu said. "She just did." Goten said. "Baby...!" Myuu said in desperation. "YOU FOOLS! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!?" He screamed. ... "...My life's work... Thrown away in an instant..." Myuu sobbed, getting on his knees. "Please don't leave me... My only Baby..." He said. "I feel kind of bad..." Fluttershy said. "Yeah... But, we had to do it." Applejack said. The smoke died down... And... BOOM! Big yellow explosion! "W-What the heck!?" Goten asked. Myuu realized... He started to cry joyfully. "My Baby! I'm so happy! I knew you couldn't die that easily, your power is too large!" Myuu said. "What!?" Rainbow Dash asked. "You mean that thing's still alive!?" Rarity asked. "His power's growing...!" Goten said. "What?" Twilight asked. "You're kidding." Sunset said. "HEHEHEHYAH!" Baby scream laughed, releasing green sparks of powerful ki everywhere. Rarity acted on impulse and formed a diamond barrier around everyone. Well, not Myuu, he could go fuck himself. But it was too weak. Everyone was sent flying at the walls of the secret place! Fluttershy held Giru, at least. The blast died down, and Myuu was seen... Cut up, torn, and really messed up. He fell to his knees. The smoke was still there, and clanks could be heard. Goten was the first to open his eyes. Baby... Was crawling. https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/villains/images/2/24/InfantBaby.png/revision/latest?cb=20170226021218 "Everyone, watch out!" Goten said. Baby started screaming, and had a purple aura. 'Incredible...' Goten thought. "He's not even fully developed yet." Twilight said. Baby stood up and the aura grew bigger. Myuu managed to get up. "That's right, my Baby! You must become strong! You must rise up and destroy those who have disturbed you! Kill the Saiyans and the humans for dishonoring you!" He said. Baby stopped screaming, but the aura was still there. He looked at everyone individually. "Kill... Sai.... Yan?" Baby managed to say. "That's right, Baby, the Saiyans. Kill them all!" Myuu said. Baby looked up to Goten. And smiled...? "Saiyan....!" Baby said with a smile. He started to fly up. "Saiy...An! Kill!" Baby said. "Dust this bitch!" Rainbow Dash yelled, jumping out of her hole. "Right!" Everyone else but Giru said, jumping out. They all charged a yellow blast in their hands and fired at full power! Baby made his aura flare even more and screamed! ... ...But it didn't move the ki blasts away. Instead, they all penetrated him! And he exploded. Now there was no Baby in the sky. A small remnant fell to Myuu. "No...! Baby!" Myuu said. "No danger detected. Giru!" Giru said. "Now I understand the true nature of Saiyans and Humans... Kill my brother, Lychee... And then my only Baby..." Myuu said, standing up. He pressed a button on his chest. A giant space shuttle appeared from the water! Myuu limped towards it... And the remnant of Baby slid into his foot. "That's a spaceship!" Twilight said. Myuu entered it, and it closed. "No!" Fluttershy said. The ship started to shake the land around them. "Hey! Don't leave!" Rainbow Dash yelled, firing a yellow blast at the ship. Didn't even faze it. It flew off into the sky! It broke through the tower! "Dang it! He got away!" Pinkie said. "It shouldn't be a problem... With Baby dead, he can't possibly rule the universe." Twilight said. "I wonder who this 'Lychee' character is. Gohan never told me about him... But he did tell me about Santa!" Goten said. "Let's get to Gohan. We can get off this planet... Unless he hasn't finished Rilldo off." Sunset said. Then Gohan conveniently happened to teleport into the room. "Speak of the devil." Sunset said. "What happened to Rilldo?" Pinkie asked. "Well, I left. And now he's confused." Gohan said. *** "WHERE THE HELL IS THAT SAIYAN, DAMN IT!?" *** "He can't die unless we rid the entire planet of metal. Since Rainbow is back to normal..." Gohan said. "We can destroy the planet?" Rarity asked. "More like me, since you guys can't hold a candle to Rilldo." Gohan said. "Good enough." Sunset said. *** The Humane 7 and the Saiyans and the robot were on Equestria once more. "Say goodbye, M-2!" Gohan yelled, charging a Kamehameha in his palms. "Kamehameha!" He yelled, unleashing the biggest one yet. It made it's way to M-2 and... Poof. Rilldo's dead. "What just happened? Why'd you blow it up?" Spike asked. "Giru! Giru! Evil!" Giru said. "And what the heck is this thing!?" Spike asked. "That reminds me..." Twilight said. "Uh oh." Rainbow Dash said. Twilight grabbed Giru. "What are you made of!? What's your processor!? What do you live off of!?..." Twilight went on. She kept going. Giru was actually sweating bullets (somehow) as he tried to escape. "You know, that is an interesting piece of technology, but I don't think we should be so interested in it since we just got off a planet I just blew up." Gohan said, reverting back to base form. "Wow! It really is a mouthful when you say it all at once!" Pinkie said. "Well, at least we stopped a guy wanting to rule the universe... And we all pitched in this time." Sunset said, wrapping an arm around Gohan. 'She's as affectionate as Chi Chi was!' Goku said. 'I kinda like it.' Gohan said, 'Good.' Sunset said. 'Thought I learned the last time to comment about women in front of them.' Goku said. 'What happened?' Gohan asked. 'Chi Chi and Bulma.' Goku said. 'Oh.' Gohan said. 'Wait, I'm still confused.' Sunset said. "If you two are done flirting by making faces, we have a picnic to finish up." Rainbow Dash said. "We're speaking, hold on." Gohan said. "You two aren't saying a word." Goten said. 'What do you think about a platonic shower?' Goku asked. 'Whoa!' Gohan said. 'Goku!' Sunset said. 'What? Gohan and I did it all the time! Well, before the whole Cell Games thing.' Goku said. 'Yeah, but... This is different!' Gohan said. 'Too young!' Sunset said. 'How the heck do you know what that word means?' Gohan asked. 'I sometimes watch you. Like the time you studied yesterday.' Goku said. 'And that's Gohan and I's relationship in a nutshell.' Sunset said. 'It's purely platonic.' Gohan said. 'Then what do you call putting your mouth to each other's mouths?' Goku asked. "We lost them again." Rarity said. "Giru! Giru! Detect strange energy!" Giru said. "How do you function?" Twilight asked. "How old are you!?" Fluttershy asked. 'That's just kissing.' Sunset said. 'What is this 'kissing' you speak of?' Goku asked. 'DAMN IT, GOKU!' Sunset said. 'I can't believe we're talking about us kissing with my dad.' Gohan said. 'That reminds me... I wonder where my dad is.' Goku said. 'Dead.' They all said. 'How'd you guess?' Goku asked. 'That's the case with us!' Gohan and Sunset said. Then they double taked for a moment. 'How come I've never heard of this?' Gohan asked. 'Hey, I'm not as hardened as you on the topic.' Sunset said. 'Okay, this has officially gone way off topic.' Goku said. 'Says the guy who brought up a platonic shower.' Sunset said. "Hey!" Goten yelled, throwing a water bottle at Gohan's head. "Ow! Hey!" Gohan said, rubbing his head. "You two keep spacing out!" Goten said. "We're having a moment!" Sunset said. 'About platonic showers.' Gohan thought. "I heard that!" Sunset said. 'Please don't murder me, I can't fight back.' Gohan thought, holding his hands up. "Heard what?" Pinkie asked. "She can hear my thoughts when she touches me." Gohan said. 'And mine, apparently!' Goku said. "And my dad's." Gohan said. "But I'm not gonna murder ya!" Sunset said, rubbing Gohan's hair. "Thank green god." Gohan said. "Well, to put an end to it, at least there won't be any more Dr. Myuu we have to deal with!" Pinkie said. "Yep!" Gohan said. *** In Myuu's ship... "Saiyans... Humans... Disgusting creatures! They've ruined my entire operation to conquer the entire galaxy! Though I'm not the one to give up after a few setbacks. I'll learn from my mistakes, and reign over every pathetic mortal in the universe! And then my Baby will be reborn!" Myuu said. He limped away from the computer. "My Baby... Every time I think of you, you make me..." Myuu said, slowly gaining a high pitched voice. "WANT TO EXPLODE!" He yelled, grabbing his throat. Myuu looked like he was gonna vomit, then Baby burst out of his back! And Myuu died. "You fool..." Baby said. He put a hand on Myuu's head. "You have no idea who the boss is, do you? You are nothing but a simple machine Mutant, for it was I who programmed YOU to gather the energy needed for my resurrection! Yet you had no idea! You feeble shell of a machine. Your time on this planet is OVER!" Baby yelled, smashed his hand into Myuu's lifeless head. Oil and parts flew everywhere. "But my time is just beginning..." Baby said. "I'm afraid not." A voice came from behind. "Huh? What!? Who are you?" Baby asked. "Your time is coming to an abrupt end. I know I do not belong here, in this time, but you should be able to rest easy because of this." This mysterious man said, aiming his palm at Baby. "W-What!?" Baby asked. Purple blast straight into Baby! Destroyed the entire ship. And Baby wholly, too. However, this said man was suffocating. But he just disappeared in an instant. Who the hell was that? Is he gonna appear in the future? Obviously. But he is/isn't the same guy who killed Gohan's family... I'll leave you to ponder about what the hell that means. Okay, Season 7 is next. No more bullshit. Author's Note Okay, I know you probably wanted Baby to appear as a long villain, but it's not great. I mean, it would be interesting to see the Humane 7 betray Gohan or something. But I can't really give a good character for Baby to possess to give Gohan a real hard time because I overpowered him. GT Characters are pretty OP in base form, which is why Vegeta was so pumped up from Baby. Also because I'm kinda lazy to draw the character he possesses entirely. Buuuuuut I wanted to add foreshadowing for some of the later chapters. There's one other reason why I didn't do Baby but I'll reveal it later. Although I have a lot of Season 7 down, it still might take a while to actually get it up. Mainly because I want it to be the best since *spoilers*. Okay, see you.
Season 7Season 7, the final one, as sad as I am to say, is happening. You know what that means, correct? (It's mainly because of the MLP Movie but also because of Season 8 not ending anytime soon.) (But I won't let this end one way or another... Maybe. The ending of this story won't mean it ends... If you know what I'm saying.) (It's continuing with these characters, damn it.) Goten was praised alongside the other four for stopping Queen Chrysalis. *** The room was filled with ponies and changelings. All celebrating their heroes! The five who stopped Chrysalis were up with Twilight, Celestia Gohan and Luna. "Goten, Starlight, Trixie, Thorax, and Discord were brave in the face of danger, resourceful when things got challenging, and proved that the bonds of friendship, no matter how unlikely, are stronger than any adversity. By stopping Queen Chrysalis, not only did they save Equestria; Possibly the entire universe; they set the changelings free from her reign." Twilight said. Then Discord teleported into the audience as a fan... Of himself... As himself. "Go, Discord! Yahoo!" He yelled. Starlight giggled at that. "And that's why we're proud and honored to give them the Equestrian Pink Hearts of Courage!" Celestia said. Everyone cheered. Luna took the Pink Hearts and placed them upon the heroes' necks. 'I wish I was here for whatever happened.' Goku said. 'It was all set up by me... Or, some of it, actually.' Gohan said. 'What? How?' Goku asked. 'I wanted Goten to go Super Saiyan 2. Needless to say, he got it. I tricked Queen Chrysalis into thinking I was under a spell she cast.' Gohan said. 'Oh. Tell Goten I'm proud anyway.' Goku said. 'Also, I have a question about your Super Saiyan 2.' He added. 'Yes?' Gohan asked. 'It feels a lot stronger than usual. What did you do?' Goku asked. 'I mastered it while training with the Supreme Kai. Turns out it could go 4 times as strong as usual.' Gohan said. 'Wow! I was really expecting you to be a lot more lax in your training. Or even hold off on it for years. But you really surprised me!' Goku said. 'Thanks.' Gohan said. Luna was struggling to put it on Thorax, because of his newfound horns. Pinkie was talking throughout the ordeal... "Yeah! Oh. Uh, no. Not quite. Uh... all right. There it is!" She said as it was finally put on. "We are so proud of you all!" Twilight said. *** Goku made an appearance in Twilight's castle... With his two sons there. *** In the throne room... "You said you wanted us to meet who!?" Applejack asked. "How is that even possible? I mean, I thought the last time was the last time!" Twilight said. "Gohan and Goten's father is coming?" Starlight asked. "Alright! We get to see him again!" Rainbow Dash said. "He's actually been here for a while..." Gohan said. "What?" Twilight asked. Gohan held out his pendant. "Come on out, Dad." He said. This was planned, by the way. From it, emerged many white sparkles. Everyone looked away from the table towards the library. In front of the passage... Goku came! "Hey! Long time no see, guys!" He said. "Son Goku!?" Rarity asked. "Why are you on Gohan's chest?" Spike asked. "What happened to you?" Rainbow Dash asked. "I've managed to live through Gohan. Eventually, when he got that necklace, I was able to get stuck in it!" Goku said. "Well, you must be very proud of your son..." Starlight said. "I am! Though... I don't remember you." Goku said, pointing at Starlight. "That's because she's new here! My student, Starlight Glimmer!" Twilight said. "Ohh. Okay. It's nice to meet you!" Goku said. "Hey dad! Can you tell me about Great Grandpa Gohan?" Goten asked. "How do you even know about him?" Gohan asked. "He's the reason Gohan is named the way he is! He took me in when I was just a baby. But, he suddenly disappeared, leaving the four star dragon ball with me." Goku said. He knows how he died, just won't go into detail... "Anyway, I just really wanted to thank you all for taking care of my sons." Goku said. "Oh, it's nothing! He keeps Equestria safe in return." Twilight said. "Yeah, he just prevented the destruction of a planet a few days ago." Goku said. "And he does plenty of farm work down at Sweet Apple Acres." Applejack said. "He beat Tirek!" Pinkie said. "He's my niece's godfather, he beat the evil version of Sunset Shimmer, who turned good, helped us beat the Sirens, my doppelgänger when she was consumed by magic... I don't know about anything else on the other side." Twilight said. "Hirudegarn, Rilldo and Gaea Everfree!" Goten said. "How did you know about the third one?" Gohan asked. "What's this Rilldo?" Twilight asked. "I was at the picnics. They told me!" Goten said. "I thought he'd give up training and get so weak that he looked like he hasn't trained a day in his life." Goku said. That happened... In the Frieza arc of Super. "You mean like a regular nerd?" Rainbow Dash asked. "I don't know." Goku said. "You mean like me?" Twilight asked. "I guess. Your physical strength is terrible, but your magical strength is pretty awesome! Wait... You look different... I don't remember you having wings." Goku said. "She's an alicorn!" Rarity said. "The Princess of Friendship!" Spike said. "Oh. Sounds incredibly low balled for your potential..." Goku said. "What?" Twilight asked. "Nevermind. Goten, I heard you went Super Saiyan 2! Come here!" Goku said, getting on one knee. "Yay!" Goten said, running at Goku with his arms sticking out the sides. The hug was touching. And Goku put Goten on his shoulder while standing up. "Aw..." Everyone said. "Hey daddy, I haven't fought you yet!" Goten said. "Oh." The Mane 6 and Starlight and Spike said. "I only have so much time, so I have to go back into the necklace soon." Goku said. "Oh. Really...?" Gohan asked. "Broly." Goku said. "Oh." Gohan said. "It hurts." Goku said. "What hurts?" Applejack asked. "My entire body." Goku said. "Uh..." The Mane 6 all said. "Okay, now, I don't want to randomly disappear in the middle of a sentence." Goku said, putting Goten down. "We were glad to see you again!" Pinkie said. "Thanks! See ya!" Goku said, saluting and turning into white sparkles. "Oh, and I'm really b-" Then he went back into the pendant. "Well... That was surprising." Applejack said. "I wonder how he feels to be cooped up in that necklace..." Fluttershy said. "I bet it's real boring for him." Rainbow Dash said. 'It really is, training all by myself.' Goku said. "Confirmed." Gohan said. *** And in one of Twilight's fantasies for Starlight's future... She was put under Gohan's tutelage. She tried. *** "Tell me why you decided to add 'Gohan's Student' fantasy to this?" Spike asked. "He's one of the chairmen for Friendship! Although he's a teen, and... Well, his temper soars at this age." Twilight said. "But it only soars when something bad happens." Spike said. "Or if something happens to his girlfriend..." Twilight said with a smirk. "What? No way." Spike said. "He does!" Twilight said, giggling and squealing. "Who? Is it a human?" Spike asked. "Its Sunset Shimmer!" Twilight said. "Really, now?" Celestia asked with a smile. "Huh? That was the last person I'd expect him to want to be with." Spike said. "Well, they're trying because Sunset initiated it." Twilight said. "And...?" Spike asked. "Gohan's apparently really excited about it and wants to continue." Twilight said. "Wait, why would Sunset Shimmer like him?" Spike asked. "You could look at the messages she sent me about it. It was because he charmed her without even realizing it." Twilight said. "Did he do something romantic with her or something?" Spike asked. "Well, a week after they got together, someone hurt her and Gohan went berserk on them." Twilight said. "I would really like to see this the next time we go." Spike said. "I'd love to keep talking about Gohan's love life, but back to the point at hand. Gohan already has nine students under his tutelage. Another one couldn't stress him out." Celestia said. *** Starlight was in a gi similar in fashion to Gohan's. Mainly because she asked for it, but, whatever. Starlight was powered up, very immensely. "Why is she much stronger than you?" Spike asked. "Sunset Shimmer turned out to be stronger than us, so anything's possible!" Twilight said. "I don't think that's how it worked, Twilight." Celestia said. "Oh well, let's roll!" Twilight said. "Alright Starlight, relinquish upon me your maximum output of strength possible!" Gohan said. "Yeah, definitely a Twilight fantasy." Spike said. Starlight turned Super Saiyan. "Okay, no." Spike said. "What?" Twilight asked. "I recall that only Saiyans can turn Super Saiyan, Twilight." Celestia said. "Hence the name inside it?" Spike asked. Twilight reversed that... "Alright Starlight, show me your maximum output of strength!" Gohan said. Starlight casually threw a forehoof at Gohan and smashed him threw three mountains! "Okay, that's not realistic either." Spike said. "This may not be a good idea. I can't map it out." Twilight said. *** A training session, or rather, a sparring session between the Saiyans and the Equestria Girls' new magic went well. *** Well, in front of the portal, as usual, were the nine. Gohan was in the Piccolo gi, while Goten didn't have his blue sleeves shirt. Just wristbands. "You heard about our sparring session...?" Gohan asked. "Well, I kinda saw some of it." Rainbow Dash said. "And it was a lot of fun." Sunset said. "You sparred with her? Ooh! Was she strong?" Goten asked. "Well, yeah, she was pretty strong... It sounds fun." Gohan said. "I can't believe after all this time, I would actually be excited for a little brawl." Rarity said. "Yeah, you're getting all excited about getting dirty." Applejack said. "Hey!" Rarity said. Applejack snickered. "Well, as long as we don't kill each other or come close, then we can do it." Gohan said. "Alright! I call fighting Gohan!" Rainbow Dash said. "Hey! I wanted to throw sprinkles at Gohan first!" Pinkie said. "N-Now hold on a second here! Goten's here too, you know." Gohan said. "I wanna fight!" Goten said. "I have an idea. Sunset Shimmer, do you know any wastelands around here?" Twilight asked. "Why are you asking me?" Sunset asked. "You know why." Twilight said. Sunset sighed. "100 miles. Northeast. Kinda nice." She said. "Then it's a date!" Pinkie said. "I could think of worse places. Rock formations... Neat cacti..." Sunset said. "Why did she ask you?" Gohan asked. "She tends to go to wastelands a lot." Fluttershy said. "For what purpose...?" Gohan asked. "Practice..." Sunset said. "Oh. That would make sense." Gohan said. *** Well, wasteland full of nothing but land. "Rock! I win!" Rainbow Dash said. "That's not fair! You didn't say 'Saisho!'" Pinkie said. "I did too!" Rainbow Dash said. "Er... Rainbow Dash won, the Saisho part doesn't matter." Gohan said. "Cool! I get to fight Gohan!" Rainbow Dash said. "I suppose the next person who wins fights Goten...?" Rarity said. "Yep! But let's watch the fight, I wanna see the speed!" Goten said. "Alright!" Rainbow Dash said, ponying up. (Regular wings.) "Okay... Good luck." Gohan said, jumping quite the distance away. "You're gonna need it this time!" Rainbow Dash yelled, pointing a finger at Gohan. 'Is she faster?' Sunset thought. Rainbow Dash sidestepped a little distance. Gohan bowed to Rainbow Dash before getting into his fighting pose. "You better be ready!" Rainbow Dash said. Gohan waited for her to approach. She was gonna do it, obviously. But timing was key. He never tested her speed for himself... ... A quick trail of rainbows were charging straight at Gohan! 'That's fast!' He thought right before dodging a hook punch. There was quite the gust of wind from such a dodge. Gohan rolled underneath her arm and (technically) roundhouse kicked her leg. She tripped backwards. But, she acted on instinct and flew up! Leaving yet another trail of rainbow behind. She dove down back at Gohan! He blocked a knee with his arm! Rainbow Dash flew back and did a backflip for style before landing and dashing at him again. Now it was an all out brawl. The two were flying all over the place. Jumping from one place to the next, leaving trails of big rainbows and small orange. "Jeez... I didn't think fights could go that fast." Applejack said. "Wow... I wonder if she's keeping Gohan on his toes." Fluttershy said. "Probably not." Sunset said. "And how would you know!?" Pinkie asked comedically. By that, I mean she grabbed Sunset's shirt and yelled into her face. "I'm not sure if Rainbow Dash is many times faster than light. We can see her very well." Sunset said, getting Pinkie off her. "Plus, We can barely see what Gohan leaves behind at this point. She's trailing him, actually!" Twilight said. It's true, he was being chased. "Is he even attackin'?" Applejack asked. "Doesn't look like it." Goten said. "It's pretty hard to keep track of all of it." Twilight said. "Wait... Are you struggling to see them?" Goten asked. "Pretty much, yeah." Pinkie said. "Well, you're gonna have a lot more trouble when they start getting serious." Goten said. Rainbow Dash was still throwing barrages of punches and kicks. Gohan kept dodging and blocking. "Why won't you fight back yet?" Rainbow Dash asked in between punches. "You're not getting serious either." Gohan said, swatting a kick away. Rainbow Dash ended her assault and jumped back. "How'd you know?" She asked. "You're not using your full power." Gohan said. "Then I won't hold back now!" Rainbow Dash said, grabbing her necklace. It created a gust of wind, and glowed blue for a second. "Even faster, I see." Gohan said. "You bet!" Rainbow Dash said, flying at him. Gohan jumped at her, and the two threw a punch. The clash of fists made a small shockwave. Gohan then did an underside roundhouse kick, while Rainbow Dash threw another punch. Gohan's attack overpowered her's, and it kicked her fist away. She used her momentum to to her own roundhouse. Gohan blocked with his arm and threw a punch. Rainbow Dash managed to cross her arms and block. The two kept exchanging blows like that. "Kick! Uppercut! Hook! Go Dashie!" Pinkie cheered. "She didn't do two thirds of what you just said." Twilight said. "And Gohan seems to be holding back on his attacks." Rarity said. "He's stronger than all of us combined, of course he is!" Goten said. "Eh, I guess you're right." Rarity said. Rainbow Dash threw a hook punch, but Gohan jumped up, leaving some debris behind. "How are you keeping up!?" Rainbow Dash asked, trailing him. "Yeah... Didn't Rainbow just unleash her full speed?" Twilight asked. "She may be a few times faster... But Gohan's still in a different league." Goten said. "...You aliens got the good treatment." Twilight said. "If you call mass destruction of it 'good treatment,' I'll disagree with you." Sunset said. The two started parrying with punches. Gohan eventually landed a kick in her side. It spun her around, making her face the other direction. He performed a weak double axe handle on her back, sending her flying at the ground. Rainbow Dash was able to recover, using a double ki blast to blast herself back up to Gohan. She landed a dropkick to his cheek. Gohan recoiled backwards. Rainbow Dash went for the stylish combo. She instantly flew around and elbowed him in the back. He was sent flying down to the ground. She trailed him yet again. She was about to land yet another punch before... Gohan caught her fist with his thighs. Rarity and Pinkie giggled. "What's funny?" Fluttershy asked. "S-Stop laughing!" Sunset said. "You never got that close, did ya?" Applejack joked. 'I try.' Sunset thought. "I am going to kill you." Sunset said grimly. "What's she talking about?" Goten asked. "You don't want to know, Goten. It's a private thing." Sunset said. "Hah! Pri-" Pinkie said, before Sunset covered her mouth. Back to the fight... "Urgh... What the!?" Rainbow Dash asked before Gohan hurled her down to the ground. She landed on all fours. Gohan was coming down at her with a knee! Rainbow Dash managed to roll to the side fast enough to dodge. He left quite the hole in the ground from that She kicked off the ground to charge at him. She punched him right in the cheek. His knee was out of the hole now. Rainbow Dash wasn't done yet, she went full throttle. It was a full on assault of punches and kicks. One in the stomach, next in the chest, next in the face, a kick to his hip, a punch in the cheek and so forth. It kept going on. "She's beating him!" Pinkie said. "Rainbow's doing a good job..." Fluttershy said. Sunset didn't overreact, or react at all. She knew he was pulling everyone's leg. Eventually, Rainbow Dash grabbed his face and smashed it into the ground! Getting a few gasps from the audience. Rainbow Dash aimed her palms at Gohan at point blank range. "Energy Wave Combo!" She yelled, firing tons of ki blasts. Each ki blast added made the explosion bigger. She fired about ten times before tiring out. She panted. "Wow. I wonder if he's hurt." Pinkie said. Sunset saw something in the corner of her eye. "I don't think he was hurt that much... Maybe at all." She said. "What are you saying? He was shot at point blank!" Twilight said. Gohan was walking up to Rainbow Dash with her back turned. And then everyone noticed. "Oh. I see." Twilight said. He aimed his palm at her and fired a weak ki blast. She turned around in surprise. "What? How did you...?" Rainbow Dash asked. "It's a secret. Now..." Gohan said, getting into his fighting pose. "Let's continue." He said. Rainbow Dash reluctantly got into her own fighting pose. This was tiring her. Gohan charged at her! 'Faster than before!?' She thought. ...Right before she felt a pain in her stomach. He punched her stomach. Gohan jumped up and kicked her to the side. Rainbow Dash recovered and jumped backwards. Gohan trailed her, putting on the pressure. He started throwing barrages and barrages of punches at her, keeping her at bay. She had to keep blocking with crossed arms. 'This guy's nuts! Just a second ago I was beating him, and he's going around like it's nothing! I'm at my limit!' Rainbow Dash thought. "Now Gohan's on the offensive." Rarity said. "Man, he seems like he didn't take any damage." Pinkie said. "Wow." Fluttershy said. Gohan surprised Rainbow Dash with a kick to the shin. Weak, not strong. It still hurt like hell. She practically tripped over by that. Gohan punched her in the cheek lightly away. He trailed her. Rainbow Dash acted quickly, using her hands and feet to stop her momentum. Leaving debris. She fired a weak ki blast at his head, which put on some smoke. He stopped. She maneuvered some distance away, panting. 'Dang. He's hard to get ahead of.' She thought. Gohan used his aura to clear the smoke. "You're pretty good!" He said. "Thanks... Hah... You're too good... Hah... Hah..." Rainbow Dash panted. "I think I'm done." She said. "Oh. You did amazing." Gohan said. "Heh, thanks." Rainbow Dash said. "Looks like she gave up." Sunset said. "Yep." Twilight said. Rainbow Dash ponied down. "Good match." She said with a grin. "Same to you." Gohan said. *** "Five points I win!" Pinkie said. "Er... What?" Rarity asked. "You lost, Pinkie. In fact- Applejack was the one who won!" Twilight said. "Oh. Right." Pinkie said. "I get to fight Applejack!" Goten said. "I can't believe we're actually playing Rock Paper Scissors just to fight two boys younger than us simultaneously." Twilight said. "Does everyone here actually want to spar?" Gohan asked. "Yep!" Rainbow Dash said. "Totally!" Pinkie said. "Yeah." Applejack said. "Absolutely." Rarity said. "I do. I did." Sunset said. "Although it's unusual, yes." Twilight said. "I-I do." Fluttershy said. "That's a surprise." Gohan said. "In what regard...?" Rarity asked. "I wouldn't expect Twilight, Fluttershy and Rarity actually wanting to fight." Gohan said. "W-Well, as long as everyone stays clean..." Fluttershy said. "Yeah... Gohan's right." Twilight said. "I would've never imagined me wanting to risk getting my wardrobe dirty." Rarity said. "And I would've never imagined me getting excited about physical exercise." Twilight said. "And I would've never imagined me fighting either..." Fluttershy said. "I would've never imagined the three of you actually wanting to fight." Sunset said. "She's got a point." Applejack said. "Anyway, battle time!" Goten said, jumping to a point in the battlefield. "Welp, he's excited." Applejack said, walking to a point away from the bystanders. "Go Applejack!" Pinkie cheered. "I hope I can actually hold a candle to him." Applejack said. "I assure you, Applejack can give Goten a run for his money... In a sense." Gohan said. "You think so?" Sunset asked. "It all depends on how they fight. If they adapt quickly, it depends on who adapts the fastest." Gohan said. "You think she can rival him at Super Saiyan?" Rarity asked. "Huh? Oh, no. Not by much, at least." Gohan said. "Oh." Everyone said. Goten and Applejack stared each other down. "Don't be holding back on me, now! I can handle myself." Applejack said, ponying up and using her necklace. Goten turned Super Saiyan. "Can't beat you without this." He said. "Goten can't beat her without it?" Twilight asked. "Your necklaces gave you a hefty boost. Goten was surpassed in his base form." Gohan said. "That... Is actually really cool!" Fluttershy said. "Amazing! I never thought we could achieve such power..." Rarity said. "I mean, that Rilldo was bad enough that it was useless." Sunset said. "Why'd you have to kill it." Pinkie said. Goten and Applejack jumped at each other! "It's starting! Where's the popcorn?" Pinkie asked, reaching into her hair. "None of us brought popcorn." Rainbow Dash said. Pinkie pulled a box of popcorn out of her hair. "There it is!" She said. "...I stand corrected." Rainbow Dash said. The two's arms clashed. Applejack threw a kick at Goten. Goten used his smaller size to his overwhelming advantage. By flying back and upwards a few feet to narrowly avoid her kick hitting his legs. He dove back in, throwing a punch. Applejack actually caught his fist. "Gotcha now, you little rugrat!" She said with a grin. She grabbed the arm with two hands and swung him around. Eventually she tossed him... And he disappeared. 'Urk! I have to stay on guard... All my vital areas!' Applejack thought, looking around. Goten rammed into her chest! She was pushed back a few feet, and jumped back at him. He teleported behind her and threw a ki blast at her back. Goten then charged at her again and threw a punch! But... Applejack instantly turned around and grabbed his fist. "Gotcha now!" She said. "Not this time!" Goten said as he smashed his fist into her hand. Applejack spasmed for a moment, but she regained her composure. "That ain't gonna work on me!" She said as she grabbed his arm with her other arm. "Well, she has him now." Rarity said. She hurled Goten over her shoulder into the ground! Well, lots of rocks flew everywhere. Pinkie whined. "I can't wait anymore! This is just too exciting!" She said. "You can spar with each other, I suppose." Gohan said. "I'm out. I've had my share of training." Rainbow Dash said. "I suppose we can fight." Rarity told Sunset. "Me and you...?" Fluttershy asked Twilight. "Sure." Twilight said. "Then... Who will Pinkie-" Gohan said before someone punched him in the cheek all the way into a rock formation. "You, silly!" Pinkie said, already ponied up. ... "...Well, that was a nice sneak attack." Sunset said. 'I have got to try that somehow.' She thought. Gohan got up from the rubble. He sighed. "I guess I'm fighting again already." He said. Applejack was distracted by a really big distraction. "Why did Pinkie just...?" She asked. Then a kick came to the back of her head. 'He got behind me... Huh.' She thought as she turned around. Goten was NOT there. But, regardless... She grinned. Applejack turned around and threw a punch! Her's clashed with Goten's. The two grinned at each other. Right before they started to clash with all sorts of punches and kicks. "Well, Rarity?" Sunset asked, ponying up. "Already one step ahead of you." Rarity said, already ponied up. Sunset grinned as she threw a punch! Twilight and Fluttershy haven't even started yet. "So, uh... D-Do you want to start?" Fluttershy asked. "I have a feeling we both don't have an understanding of this." Twilight said. *** Rarity and Sunset were clashing in the air and rising. "Sunset, your new wardrobe is absolutely imperative if you want to impress him!" Rarity said as she blocked one of Sunset's punches with a giant diamond. She gained some distance. "Are you seriously giving me dating advice while we spar!?" Sunset asked as she tried to figure out a way to get through. "You can learn lessons everywhere, Sunset!" Rarity said, sending another diamond Sunset's way. 'There!' Sunset thought, flying into that diamond. She phased through it, confusing Rarity. Sunset was behind Rarity, and fired a powerful yellow blast from behind! The diamonds disappeared as a result. Rarity turned around and held a diamond out as she charged at Sunset. Sunset jumped up in an attempt to avoid it. But, Rarity planned this. She used the diamond she was holding out and put it under her as a sort of hover board. She aimed her palm at Sunset again as she flew at her and created another diamond. "When did you learn this!?" Sunset asked as she braced for impact. "Practice, my dear friend!" Rarity said. *** Gohan and Pinkie were kinda going at it. They were clashing with fists and kicks. "So, what did you come up with?" Gohan asked as he swatted away a kick and a punch. "Well,- Unh!" Pinkie yelped as she narrowly dodged a punch. "I- Eek!" She yelped as she narrowly dodged another punch. She was back on the offensive with him. "I think you'll find this to be the bomb!" She said. Now, she pushed so that they started fighting and moving around in a pattern. Like some sort of uneven forty nine sided figure. Some dust or something was falling from Pinkie's pocket. They were multi colored, so... Sprinkles? Also, it seems like her punches left a little residue. Jeez, does she even wash her hands? Then again, she keeps God knows how old popcorn in her hair... Pinkie managed to drag that on for a while. Eventually she jumped back into the air and threw many ki blasts. Gohan blocked, creating a smokescreen of sorts. It died down and Pinkie was in the air. "Are you done?" Gohan asked. "The fun is just beginning!" Pinkie said, clapping her hands together. Some pink glows could be seen around Gohan. In the air. "What the-" Gohan said right before they blew up! Smoke everywhere. 'And then...' Pinkie thought. Gohan sidestepped out of the smoke. "Whoa! That's a pretty sneaky attack!" He said with a smile. "That's just the beginning!" Pinkie said. Then, some parts of the ground around Gohan started to glow. 'She planted mines all around the place...' He thought. They blew up! 'And now...' Pinkie thought. "You can't get me the second time!" Gohan said from behind. Pinkie looked over her shoulder in shock. "What!?" She asked right before Gohan performed a double axe handle on her. *** Fluttershy and Twilight were fighting. They were clashing with fists and kicks. Fluttershy eventually punched Twilight in the stomach and kicked her away. Twilight had a hard landing, sliding across the ground. Fluttershy, being true to herself, gasped. "Are you okay!?" She asked. Twilight instantly got up. "Of course I am!" She said. "This is not something you ask in a fight unless you really almost kill someone." She said. "Oh. Okay... L-Let's continue!" Fluttershy said. Fluttershy dashed at Twilight, but was suddenly engulfed in purple magic and couldn't move! She struggled to move. "I have a feeling this feels like a cheat." Twilight said. "N...No... I can... Win!" Fluttershy said, struggling to move. Her hand was suddenly moving jittery. "W-What!?" Twilight asked, trying to restrain her. "RAH!" Fluttershy uncharacteristically yelled as she managed to slowly but surely walk towards Twilight. Twilight was sweating, and her glasses began to fall a bit. She fixed them. Fluttershy made her pink aura flare and burst free of Twilight's grasp. Twilight felt a bit mindfucked, and grabbed her head in pain. She groaned. Fluttershy ran at her. "Here we go!" She said, throwing a punch. Twilight barely blocked with her arm. "I can still fight!" She said. The two started to clash again. But, in the middle, Fluttershy threw a punch! Then... Some purple magic slowed it down. It was just barely in front of Twilight's face. "What!?" Fluttershy asked before Twilight punched her away, removing the magic. "I can use magic to slow down my opponent mid-fight!" Twilight said. Fluttershy dashed back at her. "Then I'll try a different approach!" She said. Twilight jumped back into the fray with her. Eventually, Twilight used her magic again. 'Now!' Fluttershy thought, putting extra power into her fist, adding a pink aura to it. It broke through Twilight's magic! Twilight was punched in the cheek! She recoiled. "Huh. You can add power to your attacks to overpower my magic... But can you know which one to use!?" Twilight asked with a grin. "I can only hope!" Fluttershy said with a smile. "You have a one in four chance of actually getting it right. Better hope you have good luck!" Twilight said. *** Goten kicked Applejack in the chin, then Applejack punched him in the cheek, and then the two blasted each other away. The two recovered and panted. More on Applejack's side. "I can't believe I got this much stronger!" She said. "Heh! I know! You used to be so much weaker!" Goten said. "Let's keep going!" Applejack said, jumping at Goten. Goten made his aura flare. "Let's go!" He yelled. *** The nine were all sitting around in a circle, bruised and cut. Panting and sweating. Well, except for Gohan and Rainbow Dash, but they're kinda tired. "What a day...!" Pinkie said. "I am so proud of you all, you're so much stronger than an average human!" Gohan said. "Fluttershy and I must have the same luck because out of the 348 times she attacked, half of them were able to hit me." Twilight said. "We don't need your egghead talk." Rainbow Dash said. "Hey, algebra can be fun! You'll run into calculus on the SAT in a few months." Gohan said. "And I need to study." Rainbow Dash said. "Anyway... I guess we should reach into this untouched bag." Gohan said, doing just that. It's been a while. "Senzu beans, huh?" Sunset asked. "We all did great today. You all have some neat techniques!" Gohan said, passing them around. "Fluttershy had a bear sneak attack me in our fight. Black bear." Twilight said. "Rarity's diamonds were a big problem." Sunset said. "Sunset kept phasing and unphasing through everything." Rarity said. "Twilight's magic was problematic." Fluttershy said. "Goten was just Goten." Applejack said. "Applejack adapts very fast!" Goten said. "And so does Rainbow Dash." Gohan said. "I guess we should give them title of: 'Remarkable Adaptability.'" Twilight said. Everyone laughed. *** Okay, so, we all know how much of a dumbass and smartass Gohan is. Let's highlight some of his romantic moments he had ruined with Sunset. They're not all entirely him. *** A sunset... At the top of a hill... Because Sunset said so. And Gohan didn't know why. They were sitting together. "The sunset is beautiful!" Gohan said, facing Sunset. "You're not looking at the sunset." Sunset said. "I am." Gohan said. "Aw... You're too kind." Sunset said, blushing. She closed her eyes... Gohan faced the sunset this time, but she didn't know. She leaned in a bit... ... A bit more... ... 'I wonder why Sunset made you see a sunset with her.' Goku said. ... Sunset was a little irritated. Eventually she didn't realize she pushed her face into the side of Gohan's face. "Uh... S-Sunset?" Gohan asked. Sunset opened her eyes and pulled back. "Oh come on, that was a perfect moment!" She said. A little angry... And Gohan thought that was cute as hell. 'W-Wow... Is she mad? Because she is cuter than usual.' He thought. 'From my experience with Chi Chi... Yeah, she is.' Goku said. 'I mean mad, not cute. That's your thing. I can't really tell. I only know Chi Chi.' He added. '...You know, I'm contemplating whether I should actually take you with me on these dates.' Gohan thought. 'I think you shouldn't at this point.' Goku said. "Now, can you fix it?" Sunset asked. "...I-I'm sorry, I was distracted, what did you just say?" Gohan asked. Sunset groaned in frustration. She pushed foward and gave Gohan a kiss to fix the awkward moment there. ...But Gohan was a lil' too submissive and focused on her looks and fell over. And since they were at the top of a hill... They fell over and the kiss broke, they rolled down the damn hill, getting covered in dirt, and etc. "Gohan...!" Sunset said as she rolled down. Gohan knew he was toast. Eventually Gohan stopped rolling and fell on his chest. Sunset fell on her back on top of Gohan. She panted a bit. "You... Are so... Dead..." She said with a death face. "I may be an extreme dummiehead, as Pinkie puts it, but I love you." Gohan said. "...You are forgiven." Sunset said with a grin. 'Phew! Not Chi Chi!' Goku said. '...You're not coming next time.' Gohan thought. 'He better not.' Sunset said. *** The two were on Sunset's bed... Gohan wore just the orange shirt and pants, as well as the belt. He left Goku like he said. Sunset in her pajamas... "I like your place." Gohan said. "Huh... You do?" Sunset asked. "How do you pay for it?" Gohan asked. "That's a secret..." Sunset said. 'Celestia and Luna are the nicest people.' She thought. "Anyway, let's finish the night with the grand finale." She said, giving Gohan sultry eyes. "Grand finale...?" Gohan asked, genuinely confused. Sunset pushed and gave him a passionate kiss. Little make out session... They were sitting up. Sunset was rubbing her hand against Gohan's chest for some reason. 'Maybe...' He thought. He tried to copy Sunset, and... Well, you can just imagine how that went. He rubbed her chest... In between her breasts, and... She instantly broke the kiss with an angry look. "H-Huh?" Gohan asked. Sunset bitchslapped him! Since Gohan was pretty submissive, he received the full damage of that bitchslap. He fell on the bed. "I never took you for a pervert!" She yelled. "W-What?" Gohan asked, rubbing his reddened cheek. There was a hand mark on it. "I-I was only copying you!" He said as he sat up again. Then Sunset realized... 'Damn it, he doesn't know that he can't touch these!' She thought. "I... I'm sorry, I thought you knew." She said, looking sincere again. "Knew what...?" Gohan asked. "That women's breasts aren't something to be touched!" Sunset said. "Oh... B-But you...?" Gohan asked. "It's okay for men." Sunset said. "Oh. Okay." Gohan said. 'Strangely sexist, but I'll take it.' He thought. "Does it hurt?" Sunset asked, inspecting the cheek. "Yeah..." Gohan said. "I'm sorry." Sunset said, putting her hand on it. "It's okay... I deserved it for being uninformed." Gohan said as the pain subsided. "No, no... Uh... I know it's a horrible time to ask, but do you want to continue?" Sunset asked. "It feels nice, so... Y-Yeah." Gohan said. *** In a movie theatre... On another date. Where a version of the Twilight book was playing... I mean the saga, not Sparkle. Sunset adored it while Gohan wasn't really happy with it. The two were watching... There was some sort of kissing scene... Ooh... Sunset noticed Gohan's arm on the armrest... She put her hand on his... But Gohan didn't realize what she was doing. "Oh, sorry. Was I taking up the armrest?" He whispered as he took his hand off the armrest. 'Damn it, Gohan!' Sunset thought. The kissing on screen was getting kind of passionate... Gohan didn't seem all too thrilled about that... And looked down. 'Anything is better than this movie, my goodness.' He thought. Sunset was really trying. "Gohan... I'm feeling kind of chilly." She whispered. "Really? The air conditioner isn't on, and it's approximately 80 degrees in here. You're even sweating." Gohan whispered. "Ugh, darn it Gohan!" Sunset whispered. "D-Did I do something wrong?" Gohan asked. "Come here and cuddle with me already!" Sunset whispered. "I'm trying to get you to hug me!" She said. "Oh, I'm sorry." Gohan said. The two hugged each other. But that meant Gohan had to focus on the screen. 'Oh no...!' He thought. 'What?' Sunset asked telepathically. 'Sunset, please don't be offended, but I am not a fan of this movie.' Gohan said. 'Fair point, half of the people who see it hate it.' Sunset said. 'Oh, thank you...' Gohan thought. 'But I like it, so we're watching! You can close your eyes, or something.' Sunset said. *** Sunset just got out of the shower. Gohan was in the same house downstairs. The shower was just off her room... Since she was out, Gohan thought he could go upstairs and then sleep. Sunset had her underwear on and was brushing her hair. "Hey Suns... Ack!" Gohan yelped as he saw her. He was too petrified to move. Sunset looked over and gasped... "Gohan!" She said angrily. "I-I didn't mean to...!" Gohan said, covering his eyes with his hands. Sunset stormed over to him. "See me once, shame on me... See me twice... Shame on you!" She yelled. *** Gohan was on his side of the bed, looking away from Sunset with a tear in his eye and a red hand mark on his face. He felt bad. He had his father gi on, but he left his father at home with Goten again. He just had the orange shirt, pants, and blue belt. Sunset was on the other side, siting up and reading a book. In her pajamas. "...Please forgive me for my stupidity." Gohan said out of nowhere. Sunset closed her book. "Look at me." She said. Gohan slowly turned around as he still laid down. "You are forgiven." Sunset said. Gohan sighed in relief. "Thank you..." He said. Sunset leaned in and gave him a kiss on the cheek. The slap didn't hurt so much now... "That's your reward for apologizing." She said. Gohan yawned. "Okay... Good night." He said, closing his eyes. *** Well, those were their kind of ruined moments. It's not like they didn't have touching, special, and perfect moments, because those are their usual times. Anyway, moving on... In Movie Magic... *** Lightning sparks appeared around a mountain, and a hooded man approached it. He cackled. "It is almost time. Once I have all three relics, no one will be able to stop me, and Marapore will fall! For I am Stalwart Stallion-" "WHOA WHOA WHOA!" Rainbow Dash interrupted. "Cut!" Canter Zoom said. Turns out, this is a studio. The Humane 7 and the Saiyans and the Saiyan on Gohan's chest were visiting... "Sorry. But at this point in the story, Stalwart Stallion would be known as Mojo." Rainbow Dash said. Everyone looked at her. "What? You think he wants Daring Do fans to call him out for making a mistake like that?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Rainbow, not everyone's going to care. Some people will be dragged by their friends to watch the movie. Like someone I know." Gohan said. "Oh hahah." Rainbow Dash laughed sarcastically. 'The book was mediocre, but the specifics were nice.' Gohan thought. "Let's go again. And this time, let's say Mojo instead of Stalwart Stallion this time, okay? And... Action!" Zoom said. *** The group were now touring the studio, following the director of this Daring Do film, Canter Zoom. Fluttershy was carrying Spike. Twilight carried Giru. "I can't believe we're really here!" Rainbow Dash said. "Thank you so much for letting us come, Mr. Zoom." Twilight said. "Giru! Giru! Movie theatre scary!" Giru said. "It isn't a theatre." Twilight whispered. "We promise, we won't get in the way! Again." Sunset said, referring to Rainbow Dash. Rainbow Dash nervously chuckled. "As a fellow Camp Everfree alum, I was more than happy to afford the girls and boy plus one who helped save it the chance to visit the set of our little film." Zoom said. "Eh-heh! Little? This is Daring Do we're talking about! This movie is gonna be huge!" Rainbow Dash said. "Daring Do is overrated!" Goten said. "What!?" Twilight and Rainbow Dash asked, extremely triggered. 'Goten, you doomed yourself.' Gohan thought. 'Gohan... On a scale of 1 to 10, how much Chi Chi do you see in those two?' Goku asked. 'Rainbow Dash is a 6, Twilight is a 8.' Gohan thought. 'Goten, I pray that you won't die.' Goku said. "Daring Do is overrated!?" Rainbow Dash asked. Gohan didn't speak but mouthed it to Goten. "RUN. RUN AWAY." He mouthed. Rainbow Dash and Twilight ponied up. "Power levels have risen sharply...! GiruGiruGiruGiruGiru!" Giru kept repeating in fear. Mainly because Twilight could crush him. "Say that again..." Twilight said. Zoom was already shocked by the random wings. Goten turned Super Saiyan. "Daring Do is overrated." He said. Okay, Zoom looked like he was going to pass out. Then a P.A. came. "Uh, there's a problem in wardrobe. They can't find the costume Daring Do is supposed to wear in the nightclub scene." She said. "If we're ever able to finish it, it will be. If you'll excuse me." Zoom said, trying to get the fuck outta there! "Now, back to showing how you good Daring and he's gone again." Twilight said. "Giru can no longer feel Goten!" Giru said. "You guys should be a bit more open minded." Gohan said. "Yeah, maybe." Twilight said, ponying down. "Goten needs to have more brains!" Rainbow Dash said, ponying down. "Rainbow, Goten has a GPA of 4.8. I have a GPA of 5.0. Yours is lower. Your argument is invalid." Gohan said. "Yeah, but the cluelessness you have runs in the family." Sunset said. "That's different. That's... Well, only Goten and I have a knack for reading books. Every other Saiyan hates it." Gohan said. "But I only read books like Huckleberry Finn! Twice, actually. It was because a bad word was taken out of it." He said. "According to our visitor schedules, they won't start shooting the next scene for a while, which means we have time to-" Twilight said, before- "Get my picture taken with Chestnut Magnifico, the actress playing Daring Do!" Rarity said. "And ask her to sign my petition to bring more bird feeders to Canterlot High!" Fluttershy said. Everyone looked at her. "Well, Chestnut Magnifico is an avid supporter of a foundation that helps build homes for animals in need." Fluttershy said. "Oh, okay. But I was thinking that we could-" Twilight said, before- "Check out all the sets?" Sunset asked. "I'd sure like to get a closer look at that volcano." Applejack said. "Actually, I thought we'd-" "Find the buffet!" Spike said. "And the cupcake fountain!" Pinkie said, taking Spike. "Ooh, I'd like those." Gohan said. "I don't know what a cupcake fountain is, but I'm pretty sure they don't have one." Rainbow Dash said. "Of course they do. I read it in my '100 Things You Didn't Know About This Movie Studio: Insider's Tour Guide.'" Pinkie said. "Is the number-one thing we didn't know that the guy who founded this studio was an eccentric oddball with a sweet tooth?" Applejack asked. Pinkie looked through the album. "Oh! Yes!" She said. "I guess we're splitting up?" Twilight asked. Everyone agreed. "But we're taking Gohan with us!" Rainbow Dash said. "What? Why? I wanted to go to the buffet!" Gohan said. "Because you need to be educated on how awesome Daring Do is!" Rainbow Dash said. "I never said I thought Daring Do was bad! I just didn't really like the plot, the specifics were fi-" Gohan said, before shutting his mouth with his hands. 'Wow, nice one.' Goku said. 'There's room for error!' Gohan thought. "Giru! You messed up! Giru!" Giru said. "Adding salt to the wound, are we?" Sunset asked. "That does it! We're taking you!" Rainbow Dash said, grabbing the blue shirt collar and slowly dragging his 4300 kilogram ass across the floor. "Oh, darn it." Gohan said, crossing his arms. Eventually he, Twilight, Giru and Rainbow Dash were gone. "...He's really submissive, ain't he?" Applejack asked. "You have no idea..." Sunset said. *** Rarity and Fluttershy were in front of Chestnut Magnifico's trailer. "Maybe we shouldn't bother her when she's in her trailer." Fluttershy said. "Darling, Please, Actresses love interacting with their fans!" Rarity said. Then the door swung open, hitting Rarity. "Oh! Miss Magnifico, I-" Rarity said, before- "Ugh! I don't care if I'm under contract! This is a joke, and I want this thing shut down! Do you hear me?!" Chestnut yelled into her phone. She hit end call and stormed away. Rarity nervously chuckled. "She probably just didn't see us." She said. *** Applejack and Sunset were on set, looking at the volcano. "Hmm. Wonder how long it takes to build somethin' like this." Applejack said. "Several weeks, I'd bet." Sunset said. "They sure do go all out makin' it look like the real deal, huh?" Applejack asked. Sunset stepped in a wrapper. She picked it up and read it. "Though I don't think the rainforest is known for its... Bon Mot peanut butter praline crunch bars." Sunset said. "Better pocket that. Wouldn't want it ruining the shot." Applejack said. Sunset shrugged and stuffed it into her jacket. *** Rainbow Dash, dragging Gohan and Twilight were checking out props. "Tell me again, why checking out props would help me understand that Daring Do is 'sooo great?'" Gohan asked. "Because you need to know the lore!" Rainbow Dash said. "I already know what those three are!" Gohan said, standing up and pointing at props. He dusted himself off because his heavy ass was dragged across the floor. "The Three Altoriosa Relics? Of course! The staff, the sword-" Gohan said, before- "Don't forget the Arrow of Altoriosa!" A voice came from behind. Everyone turned around. It was Juniper Montage. "You're from Canterlot High, right?" She asked. "Yes. Please help me. They've kidnapped me to quote on quote 'e-" Gohan said before Twilight and Rainbow Dash put their hands on his mouth. "We're trying to change his mind on Daring Do. Uh, yes, we go to Canterlot High." Twilight said. "Giru! They've ki-" Giru said before Rainbow Dash shut him. "I'm Juniper Montage, Canter the director's niece. What do you think?" Juniper asked. "They're awesome!" Rainbow Dash said. "They look real, so it gets an 85." Gohan said. "That better be out of 85, Gohan!" Rainbow Dash said. Gohan cowered. 'Man, you got my fear of women. I'm sorry.' Goku said. 'Don't be, but they scare me sometimes. Especially Sunset, since she's a great cook. Also because she's my girlfriend.' Gohan thought. 'Is she a Chi Chi kinda cook?' Goku asked. 'Pretty much, yeah. My cooking is pretty bad. Half the time others actually cook Goten and I's food.' Gohan said. "A. K. Yearling is very hands-on when it comes to the sets and props for the movie." Juniper said. "Have you met her?" Twilight asked. "Just once when she came to check out the relics. I did get her to sign a copy of the latest Daring Do book, though." Juniper said, before squealing with Twilight. "So what do you do here?" Twilight asked. "Mostly, I bring my uncle coffee and help get everything ready for shooting. I've been on the set for all the movies he's shot here. Pretty much know every inch of this place like the back of my hand." Juniper said. She giggled. "I tried to convince him to cast me as Daring Do, but..." She said, before turning bitter. "...he really didn't go for that." She said. "Giru! Giru detects anger!" Giru said. But, she turned cheerful again. "Hey! Have you guys seen the set for Caballeron's secret lair?" She asked. Rainbow Dash gasped. "They usually lock the door to that set, but I've got keys that open just about every door in this place. Come on. I'll show you." Juniper said. "Sure! Let me make sure Gohan'll come with and he's already gone." Rainbow Dash said. He was gone. "Oh darn it!" Rainbow Dash yelled. "Oh, wait, there he is." Twilight said, pointing at the ceiling. 'Dang it. What do I do?' Gohan thought. 'Uh... Uh... Instant Transmission...?' Goku said. 'Oh. Right. Thanks!' Gohan said. He put two fingers to his forehead and teleported away. Juniper was shocked. "H-How did he...?" She asked. "Anyway, let's see Caballeron's lair!" Rainbow Dash said. "B-But how did he get up there and vanish? Is he a magician?" Juniper asked. "Don't ask. He's strange. In fact, he isn't even from this planet." Twilight said. "T-That's a lie! He's not an alien!" Juniper said. "...He is." Rainbow Dash said. *** Goten was eating some of the buffet food. As a normal Saiyan. Pinkie and Spike were in a chair. "Three lunch buffets, six different kinds of fondue, two rooms with nothing but candy, and still no cupcake fountain! Oh, well. At least we found those peanut butter praline crunch bars! They weren't in my guidebook, but they sure were delicious!" Pinkie said. "I'll say! You think they have any more?" Spike asked. Then everyone heard Zoom scream. He and Chestnut were at a buffet. "One more month, Chestnut! That's all we need! I'm doing everything I can to keep us on schedule! But with all the setbacks we've had, I don't think we can do it! If you could just agree to stay on for one more month...!" Zoom begged. "UNACCEPTABLE!" Chestnut said. "But-" "Where are my imported peanut butter praline crunch bars!?" Chestnut interrupted. "Now would probably be a good time to resume the search for that cupcake fountain." Spike whispered to Pinkie. The two nodded and snuck away. *** They were on set again. And yes, Gohan was in the same room. Just that Sunset was defending him with a wrapped arm. Fluttershy held Spike, and Twilight held Giru. "You guys should've seen the relics." Rainbow Dash whispered. "THEY WERE AWESOME!" She yelled. "Ugh! Quiet on set, PLEASE!" Zoom yelled. "Sorry. Maybe I'll just go take one more peek at them." Rainbow Dash said, dashing off. "And... Action!" Zoom yelled. The actor was walking up to the volcano before- It started to collapse! It did collapse! "Cut, cut, cut!" Zoom said, exasperated. "What is going on around here? We just filmed on this volcano, and it was fine! This could set us back weeks!" He said. "They're gone! They're all gone!" Rainbow Dash said. "What's gone?" Zoom asked with a twitched eye. "The relics!" Juniper said. Everyone but the Saiyans gasped and/or screamed. *** "I wanted to check them out again up close, and they weren't there!" Rainbow Dash said. "This can't be happening! What are we gonna do!?" Zoom asked "Couldn't you just get the prop department to make new ones?" Sunset asked. "The missing relics were personally approved by A. K. Yearling! We could have new ones made, but we can't use them until Miss Yearling has given them her official stamp of approval! You think it'd be easy to reach someone who is always holed up in her office writing, but Miss Yearling is a very difficult woman to track down." Zoom said. "I-It'll be okay, though, right?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Chestnut's contract with us is almost up, and with Mount Vehoovius collapsing, and now this, I fear we'll have to stop production altogether!" Zoom said. "But-but you have to finish this movie! Think of all the Daring Do fans who'll be so disappointed if you don't!" Rainbow Dash said. "Are you sure there's nothing you can do to-" Twilight said, before a loud crash was heard. Zoom was clearly stressed. "I'm so sorry. Please excuse me." He said, walking away with Juniper. "Hmm..." Twilight said. Giru flew up the the crime scene and looked at it for a bit. "Giru... Giru... Giru... No secretion of the fingers found." He said. "I programmed that into him." Twilight said, holding him again. "There was trouble with one of the costumes when we first arrived. A set that was fine yesterday just collapsed. And now, the most important props in the movie have been stolen. I don't think these are just coincidences." She said. "Me, neither. All the things that have gone wrong on set have put production on hold. It seems to me like someone is going to a lot of trouble to make sure this movie doesn't get made." Sunset said. "We need someone with a motive." Gohan said. "But who would want to-" Spike asked, before Fluttershy gasped. "Oh, dear! You don't think..." She said. "Oh, no-no-no-no. Certainly not!" Rarity said. Everyone looked at her for explanation. "When Rarity and I followed Chestnut Magnifico to her trailer, we overheard her saying something about shutting down the movie..." Fluttershy said. "Yes, but she said she wanted something shut down. We don't know that she was talking about the movie." Rarity said. "Maybe she's just really mad that they're always running out of her imported butter praline crunch bars." Pinkie said. "...Bon Mot butter praline crunch bars?" Sunset asked, pulling out the wrapper from before. "Those are the ones!" Pinkie said. "We, uh... may have tried a few ourselves. Heh." Spike said. "We found this on the Mount Vehoovius set right before it collapsed." Sunset said. "It sure seems like all signs are pointing to Chestnut Magnifico as the one causing all the problems around here." Twilight said. "It seems like she has a calling card, but we can't really lock onto it without a motive or fingerprints or other incriminating evidence. Anyone could've planted that Bon Mot bar and she could've meant something else by shutting down something." Gohan said. "I don't know who's behind this or what's going on, but the first thing we need to do is find those relics." Rainbow Dash said. "I agree. The relics were here earlier, and if Chestnut IS behind this, then they must still be around here somewhere." Twilight said. "Yeah, if someone were to do it as fast as they could, they would get caught! It's maybe done in phases." Goten said. "Phases? Then we need to look out for Chestnut Magnifico when it comes to that." Twilight said. "Chestnut Magnifico is an acclaimed actress! She'd never do something so dramatic!" Rarity defended. "An actress? Dramatic? Never!" Sunset said sarcastically. "Well, she might do somethin' like this if she was tryin' to get out of workin' on a movie she didn't want to do." Applejack said. "Why don't Fluttershy, Pinkie, Spike, and I follow Chestnut Magnifico and see if we can find anything out?" Sunset asked, walking away. "Let's do it!" Pinkie said as everyone followed. "Where do we even start? It's not like there's some mysterious, thievin', cloaked figure we can chase after and say, 'Hey, tell us where you're keepin' the relics!'" Applejack said. It just so happens that there is some mysterious thieving, cloaked figure they could chase after and say, 'Hey, tell us where you're keeping the relics!' "You mean like that one?" Goten asked, pointing at some mysterious thieving, cloaked figure they could chase after and say, 'Hey, tell us where you're keeping the relics!' "Hey! Stop right there!" Rainbow Dash yelled. That hooded figure didn't stop right there, she ran! 'Is that... Juniper?' Gohan thought. Rainbow Dash dashed after her with her powers! Everyone else followed. Gohan and Goten were going it slow. Rainbow Dash could do it, right? *** Damn it, she got away. The rest finally caught up to Rainbow Dash. With Rarity and Twilight out of breath. "I can't believe I lost them! My geode gives me super speed, but I guess being awesomely fast doesn't help when the person you're chasing knows their way around better than you do." Rainbow Dash said. "Should I just lock on to their ki and tell you where they are?" Gohan asked, putting two fingers to his forehead. "No, that would make things anticlimactic!" Pinkie said. She and her group were there. "Hey guys." Sunset said. "Any luck finding Chestnut?" Applejack asked. "I mean, we found Juniper-" Gohan said before she shut his mouth with his hands. 'I wanted it to be a surprise, dang it!' He thought. "Juniper? How do you- Oh. I see." Sunset said. "But how would we know? How can we prove it?" Rainbow Dash asked. "She was running away from us for a reason. She's probably still around!" Goten said. "And maybe we just need to get her in the act..." Gohan said. ... Planning time.... It was kinda like deciding which hand to use to slap a bitch. Should I use my right, or my left? Decisions, decisions- "I got it!" Twilight said. *** After some planning... The group were with Zoom, Chestnut and Juniper at the crime scene. They recently found one of the missing items- The gown Daring Do would wear at the nightclub. "You found this in the supply closet?" Zoom asked. "We didn't find the relics. But we don't think the thief has had a chance to take them off the lot yet. We wanted your permission to search the Tricorners Village set from top to bottom. Maybe we'll find a clue that would lead us to where they're hidden." Twilight said. "Of course. Chestnut, I need you to get into hair and makeup. As soon as we get the relics, we're gonna start shooting again." Zoom said. "Hmph. We'll see." Chestnut said, walking away. "Juniper, can you do a smoothie run? I'm sure all this sleuthing is gonna make everyone thirsty." Zoom asked. "Absolutely!" Juniper said, running off. *** The hooded figure went to a crate and picked up the stolen relics! Her hood was revealed to be Juniper! "See, I told you!" Gohan said. Everyone just caught her in the act. She improvised.... "Look! I found the missing relics!" She said. "Because you're the one who stole them!" Sunset said. "She... She wouldn't." Zoom said in disbelief. "She would." Twilight said. "She just did." Goten said, pouring salt in the wound. "Giru! Heart rate skyrocketing! Sweating! Lying!" Giru said. "What she didn't expect was for Rainbow Dash to come to the Tricorners set before she was able to sneak them off to a safer hiding place. So she was forced to hide them in the first place she could find." Twilight said. "But she knew she couldn't leave them at the set. So she improvised that as soon as she got the chance, she'd move them!" Gohan said. "Juniper was caught in the act, and luckily for her, we didn't try. And also she knew this place like the back of her hand, so she lost Rainbow Dash." He said. "But, the problem is, Gohan knew this entire freaking time and kept his trap shut until he opened his big mouth!" Rainbow Dash said. "I wanted to give you guys a chance at playing hero! Just last week we-" Gohan said, before he bit his tongue. 'Eh, screw it. Do it, Gohan.' Goku said. "-fought Broly and Myuu." Gohan said. "Who?" Zoom asked. "That's besides the point, Juniper would never admit she was the one who had taken the relics." Twilight said. "Unless, of course, she was caught in the act of trying to move them again!" Sunset said. "Which is why I told you to send her on that smoothie run. So she'd think she had the opportunity to get the relics off the lot where we'd never find them." Twilight said. "But instead of searching the Tricorners set, you all were secretly following me here." Juniper said. "Why would you do this!?" Zoom asked. "I'm sorry! Okay? I'm sorry. I just can't stand Chestnut! She's always eating all the peanut butter praline crunch bars, which are the only candy bars I like." Juniper said. "That's hardly a reason to-" "And I was mad at you for casting her as Daring Do!" Juniper interrupted her uncle. "I mean, I have told you over and over again how badly I wanted to play Daring Do, and you just ignored me!" Juniper said. "But, Juniper, you're too young! You don't have any experience." Zoom said. "I know! But I thought if enough things went wrong, Chestnut would maybe back out of the movie and then... you would give me a chance." Juniper said. "Not only did you jeopardize the production, endanger the safety of the actors and the film crew, but you also lied to me and took advantage of my trust!" Zoom said, counting those off his fingers. "I know. A-And I'm sorry. I never meant to hurt anyone, and I was going to return all the props, just as soon as Chestnut quit. I hope you can forgive me." Juniper said. "You're my niece, Juniper, so, of course, I can forgive you." Zoom said sincerely. But that turned dark quick. "But I'm sorry to say you're no longer welcome on the set, and it'll be a long time before I consider allowing you back here!" Zoom said, snapping his fingers. Security popped up. "Keys!" He said, holding his hand out. Juniper gave him the keys. Security was walking her out, but then she gave the Humane 7 a death stare. Gohan gave his own death stare. Juniper went away. Then Chestnut came. "Canter, there you are!" She said, giggling. "So sorry I'm not in makeup, but I've just gotten a call from my agent. I no longer have to work on that ridiculous documentary about nests next month. Ha-ha! I swear, when they approached me, I thought they wanted to do a documentary about my organization for homeless animals, not on various "nests" around the world! Completely misleading! But no matter! That's all behind us!" She said. "No more scheduling conflict! I can extend my contract and continue filming Daring Do. Hey, are those the missing relics?" Chestnut asked. "Yes! And I don't think we'll have to worry about them disappearing again. And it's all thanks to our visitors from Canterlot High. First you save Camp Everfree, now the Daring Do movie. Y'all are certainly on a roll." Zoom said. Everything was going just great for them! But... "Mr. Zoom! The actor that was meant to play the were monkey at the volcano and his brother have officially quit!" A guy said. "And I just thought everything was going my way today, DANG IT!" Zoom said, banging his head on the wall. "Hey Gohan..." Sunset said, nudging Gohan. "You have got to be kidding me." Gohan said. "Gohan, do it!" Rainbow Dash said. "No!" Gohan said. "Pwease?" Sunset asked with puppy dog eyes. ... "I'll make you that dinner I didn't make you because you were busy..." Sunset said. Only her... "...Fine... Only you, Sunset." Gohan said. "Mr. Zoom, I'm doing this and only doing this once, but I'm acting as the were monkey." Gohan said. "What? But how!? Our actor looked much more realistic than you! Well, except for your tail- Why do you have a tail?" Zoom asked. "Long story short- I'm a half alien." Gohan said. "I'm sorry, a what!?" Zoom asked. "Saiyan and human. Anyway, we possess the skill to access new forms that boost our power significantly." Gohan said. "Gaze upon Gohan this one time, Zoom. For you will see a bit of his full resolve!" Rarity said. "Actually, you may wanna look away, I'll make this as quick as possible." Gohan said. "W-What is he gonna do?" Zoom asked. Gohan started to make his aura flare as a Super Saiyan. Everyone stepped back. With some sphere enveloping him, it quickly died with tons of shimmers of light raining down. Zoom and Chestnut looked in pure shock. A Super Saiyan 4... Gohan opened his eyes. "Is this a good enough portrayal?" He asked. "I-Its perfect! The red tail, body hair... It looks realistic!" Zoom said. "Probably because it's his strongest form out of his arsenal of hairstyles." Rainbow Dash joked. "Welcome aboard! But we need the brother..." Zoom said. "Maybe my brother could play!" Gohan said. "Ooh! Ooh! Can I be a Super Saiyan too?" Goten asked. "We do need banana hair for the shot... Great! Thank you so much you two! And I think I know how I can add everyone else to the movie as a reward..." Zoom said. Rainbow Dash squealed. *** Gohan's only doing it for Sunset, okay!? These two apparently live in the volcano. They met Daring Do and helped her reach Stalwart Stallion- I mean Mojo. "With the volcano erupting, you'll be long dead, Daring Do!" Mojo said, flying away with a relic. "This is bad! I don't know how I'll get out of this one!" Daring Do said. "Miss!" Gohan yelled. Daring Do turned around to the two. "We'll get you out!" Gohan said. "No problem!" Goten said. They finish each others' sentences in the book. "But how!? The lava's rising...!" Daring said. "Bro!" Goten said. "ther!" Gohan said. The two grabbed Daring and 'struggled' to just barely throw her out of the volcano. Sacrificing themselves... "Noooo!" Daring yelled, reaching for them. Gohan saluted to her while Goten smiled. The lava rose so much that they were out of sight. Daring was crying... "Cut!" Zoom yelled. "That was perfect! Gohan is a really good actor!" He said. "Maybe he should-" Sunset said, before- Gohan burst from the colored water. "There is no way I'm acting again!" He said. *** Daring Do was running across the town with the Sword of Altoriosa. The Humane 7 were innocent bystanders. And Spike, too. As all sorts of things. Jugglers, jongleurs, shopkeepers, and more. Then she ran into Mojo! "You will give me the Sword of Altoriosa!" He said. "I don't think so, Stalwart!" Daring said. "Have it your way!" Mojo yelled. Using the staff, he summoned a powerful whirlwind. "Give up, Daring Do! The Sword shall be mine!" He said, taking the sword. Rainbow Dash threw Daring Do her whip! She used the whip to knock the staff and the sword out of his possession! "This is so awesome!" Rainbow Dash said. "CUT! Again!?" Zoom asked. The lighting and effects died down. "Uh, sorry." Rainbow Dash said. *** Twilight wanted to run some magical tests on Gohan. Some non-magical. *** Gohan and Twilight were in the library of the castle. Twilight had a few books of spells on her side while Gohan was the guinea pig. "Well... What and why are we doing this?" Gohan asked. "I want to test if my strongest magic can affect you in the slightest." Twilight said. 'Maybe I shouldn't tell her that her doppelgänger is much stronger than her.' Gohan thought. "Well... Should I just stand still?" Gohan asked. "Power up to your fullest power!" Twilight said. "You mean Super Saiyan!?" Gohan asked. "No, no. Sorry, I meant to say just in normal form." Twilight said. Gohan nodded and bent his arms. He made his yellow aura flare, and maximized his power. Well, not max. If he really wanted to go max strength he'd go third grade or something similar. AKA buff up like Vegito. Gohan let his aura die down. "Alright. I'm at full power." He said. "Great! First test, mind manipulation!" Twilight said. "If my mind gets boggled, can you reverse it?" Gohan asked. "Yeah!... By going back in time to stop it." Twilight said. "Oh, okay. Wait... You can-" "Let's start!" Twilight interrupted. Twilight charged up her horn with magic. She tried a mind control spell. She shot a purple magic at Gohan's head. And a white flash of light appeared... "...Anything?" Twilight asked. She wanted to know if he was in a trance. "No, I don't feel anything." Gohan said. "Oh, man! Alright, next one..." Twilight said. She charged her horn with magic and fired at Gohan. Another flash of light. This was a spell attempting to remove a chunk of memory from his mind. "Do you remember what we just talked about?" Twilight asked. "Did I feel anything, right? I don't feel anything here, either." Gohan said. "That settles it. I can't manipulate your mind." Twilight said. "So... What other tests?" Gohan asked. *** The two were in a field. "Next up, physical change!" Twilight said. "Okay." Gohan said. Twilight charged some purple magic in her horn, trying for some orange transformation spell. She fired at Gohan! As soon as she looked again... "Nope. Didn't work." Twilight said. "What's next?" Gohan asked. "My full power against yours!" Twilight said. "You...? So should I be airborne?" Gohan asked. "Why?" Twilight asked. "So we don't hurt any civilians?" Gohan asked. "Oh. Right, yeah, do that." Twilight said. Gohan was airborne at about a 45 degree angle from Twilight. "Here I go!" Twilight yelled. "Don't hold back!" Gohan said. Twilight started concentrating serious magic from her horn. She started to sweat. Gohan prepped himself. 'I might as well just catch it all. Maybe put it into a ball.' He thought. Twilight started to float from the ground, having a white aura. "HERE I GO...!" She yelled, extremely strained. "Fire!" Gohan yelled. Twilight let loose, unleashing a purple, white and blue blast on Gohan. It was insanely powerful! Some ponies could see it from a distance. The blast kind of turned into two after it collided with Gohan. Twilight was still letting it rip. So, Gohan decided to show Twilight how much of his resolve can do. Gohan started to strain as he started to take the blast and combine it all into a giant ball of magic. 'She has some powerful magic!' He thought. Twilight started to tire out, and started panting. She sat down. She barely saw Gohan have a giant ball of her powerful magic above his head and hands up. She finally looked up to see Gohan straining very hard for some reason. "What are you doing!?" She asked. Gohan held the ball out in front of himself, minimizing it. Eventually it was very small that it was a golf ball. Gohan was panting a bit after doing so, but after three seconds he was done. He looked to Twilight. "This is your intense magic. It's very dense." He said. "Really?" Twilight asked. "Yeah! But..." Gohan said, pushing his hands together to crush it to nothing, "I'm much stronger." He said. "Heh. That's obvious." Twilight said. *** "Um, sorry to ask, but... What am I doing here?" Fluttershy asked. They were in a field. "Use your stare on Gohan for me, Fluttershy." Twilight said. "And we'll see if it has any effect on him." She added. "I never thought about this. Maybe it'll work!" Gohan said. "Um, okay..." Fluttershy said. She hesitated before unleashing that deadly stare at Gohan. "Now Gohan, try to walk closer to Fluttershy." Twilight said. .... Gohan started to slowly walk towards Fluttershy, unfazed. Twilight wrote it down in her handy dandy notebook. Fluttershy eventually started to cower and stopped because, damn. Gohan may be her friend, but remembers that he's undergoing his teenage years so he'd be peeved very easily. And you know what happens when that happens... "Are you okay, Fluttershy?" Gohan asked. "I'm okay..." Fluttershy said. "I only got scared, that's all." She said. "Well, that concludes that... Equestrian science thanks you for your service, Gohan." Twilight said. "You know, there's one thing science can't really prove at the moment." Gohan said. "What's that?" Twilight asked. "Why the heck is my hair and height the same after three years!? I grew out my hair down to my back in the same amount of time!" Gohan said. That is a good question... And I won't answer it. HAHAHAHAHAH- OW! Why'd you throw that trash can at me!? *** Heheheh... You'll see. And finally, (the next chapters are Mirror Magic and Forgotten Friendship and *spoilers* then the MLP Movie! Finally, it's time for the MLP movie! Er... Well, this isn't really the movie, since I'm doing the movie later. *** Well, it was a nice day. Sun's out, perfect weather, everyone happens to be outside in Ponyville... The Mane 6 were all conversing or playing or doing their usual things. Spike was doing his usual thing. Gohan was sitting down, reading a book, and Goten was flying around throwing punches. Then there was some weird thunderstorm shit. That snapped Gohan out of his book. It was a book about dating, really. Given to him by the only one who can give advice on this, Rarity. Anyway. "Rainbow, I thought you said today would be perfect weather." Twilight said. "Uh... I don't think those are storm clouds." Rainbow Dash said. Gohan actually stood up. A giant battleship came out of it. "Ooh! I bet those are the clowns I ordered!" Pinkie said. "For what purpose!?" Goten asked. It landed in Ponyville... Gohan and Goten stood in front of the Mane 6 as a sort of cover. "All I can say for sure is that this is a threat." Gohan said. Ponies started coming because, well, who wouldn't? The hatch door opened, and laid out on the ground. A guy with a box came walking from it. A hedgehog...? He put it down and it turned into a stereo system. "Ponieth of Equethtria, we come on behalf of the fearsome, the powerful, the almighty...Thtorm King!" He said. ... Banners were shown, at least. "Where's the king!?" Goten asked. "And now, to deliver the evil, evil methage, put your hooveth together for Commander Tempeeeetht!" The hedgehog yelled. There was multicolored mostly red smoke, and a unicorn emerged from the entrance. She's got no horn... It looks broken off, actually. Gohan kinda grinned... "Is that a unicorn...?" Twilight asked. "I think so, but what happened to her horn?" Spike asked. "You eight should stay back. You too, Goten." Gohan said. "But why?" Goten whined. "Because we both know you'll say the wrong thing and cause a fight." Gohan said. "...You win." Goten said. Everyone stepped back but Gohan. "Tempest, was it? I have to say, I'm impressed by your strength. What are you doing here? Do you need something?" He asked. "Oh, I'm so glad you asked. How about we start with your complete and total surrender?" Tempest asked. Goten was in the back laughing. ... "Yeah, no. I'm afraid I can't do that." Gohan said. "Ugh. And only one princess. At least this commander has some good magic. Here's the deal, princess and warrior. I need your magic. Give it up nicely, please, or we make it difficult for everyone!" Tempest said. "Well, I say that you should leave before I make it difficult for you." Gohan said. "Also, FYI: I don't possess magic." He added. "Bluffing won't help your cause." Tempest said. "You call my abilities magic... How funny. If I wanted to, this planet could be blown up by my hand. Or the moon... Or even the Sun." Gohan said. "Again, bluffing. Good thing is, I was hoping you'd choose difficult." Tempest said. Then the whole fleet of whatever the hell she had came. "You picked the wrong people to mess with. Heh. Goten! Let's do this!" Gohan said. "Super Saiyan style?" Goten asked. "Eh.... Yeah, sure, why not." Gohan said. "Super Saiyan, you say?" Tempest asked. Goten came to Gohan's side. The two turned Super Saiyan. "A hair color change? This is very riveting." Tempest said sarcastically. "And so is your fleet. I know you possess great strength, but you lack the strength to come toe to toe with us." Gohan said. "Yeah!" Goten said. He aimed his hand at a warship and fired a blue blast! BOOM! Ded. Not big surprise. Tempest seemed unfazed. The storm creatures fell and landed, roaring. The ponies all ran away. Gohan and Goten could handle it, right!? ...Right? They all charged at the brothers! ... They all piled on top, and... Uh... They formed a giant pile, but then there was just a ton of silence. ... "HAAA!" The two yelled, getting the useless foes off them. With a ton of aura! They all groaned and yelled as they fell. Tempest just laughed a bit. "Brilliant. You will do greatly for me..." Tempest said. She pulled out some sort of green crystal sphere, and did some ninja kick to it, straight at Gohan. But... PCHT! Gohan just caught it. "This dense ball has quite the energy." He said. Tempest grinned. "Now you're mine." She said. Green smoke everywhere! Tempest just started to cackle. ... "You fool! You let your guard down! Hah!" She yelled. More laughing. "I am not impressed anymore." Gohan said. Then she just stopped laughing. Shocked, even. The smoke died down. "W-What!?" She asked. "That is one impressive weapon. However, it's too weak for us." Gohan said. "I'm just gonna destroy the flying ships." Goten said. "Go ahead. I'll handle the big boss." Gohan said. Goten flew to the skies. "YAY! This is gonna be the best day ever!" He yelled. ... "I will let you escape with just a warning. Give up your evil ways, and we'll never have to fight again." Gohan said. BOOM! "Never." Tempest said. BOOM! "I honestly thought you could see the right way. I don't even need Super Saiyan for this fight." Gohan said. BOOM! Tempest just grunted as she kicked barrages of those weird smoke bombs. And what happened? Gohan swatted them all away as he just walked closer! ... BOOM! "Are you going to give up anytime soon? You have only until I get to you." Gohan said. She finally stopped using that useless move. "I suppose I'll have to fight it out with hoof-to-hoof." She said. "You've practiced martial arts?" Gohan asked. "Correct." Tempest said. "You and me both." Gohan said. Tempest jumped up, and dove down at Gohan. She threw a forehoof, which Gohan blocked with an arm. Then a continuous assault soon followed. Gohan hadn't fought back. He just blocked and narrowly dodged. "Who do you work for?" Gohan asked, flipping back for some distance. He fired a few very weak ki blasts. Tempest dodged them very narrowly before charging again. "I may as well tell you what will happen before you're taken down. I was sent by the Storm King." Tempest said, throwing all sorts of hooves. Gohan broke the entire assault in an instant with one uppercut. Tempest had a hard landing. "Urgh... How...?" She asked as she barely got herself up. "The Storm King is of no threat to us." Gohan said. Goten landed nearby. "Done!" He said. "Y-You took down our best fleet!?" Tempest asked. "Yep! They were really weak." Goten said. "I guess I'll say this one more time. Leave before I actually do something I regret." Gohan said. Tempest seemed incredibly angry before regaining her composure. "Fine. I surrender. It seems we have underestimated your strength. Equestria bears the strangest yet strongest of creatures..." She said. "Just so you know, we're not even from this planet." Gohan said, reverting back to base form. "Aliens... Heh. I suppose I will never be able to defeat you." Tempest said, slowly walking back to her ship. The hedgehog soon followed. "I will regain my horn one day. I swear." She said. "Your horn? You just wanted your horn back?" Gohan asked. Tempest turned around. "Of course I do. It was taken off by that accursed Ursa Minor..." She said. "You should've said so in the first place! Here, I have the instant fix." Gohan said, reaching into that pouch again. "A fix, you say...?" Tempest asked. "Ooh. This will get your horn back!" Goten said. Gohan tossed a senzu bean over to Tempest. She caught it in her hoof. "Eat it. You'll have your horn back in an instant." Gohan said. "And how would I know that?" Tempest asked. "You never know until you try." Gohan said. Tempest looked at that bean... And reluctantly ate it. Then, she felt rejuvenated... "What the...?" She asked, feeling her horn. "I...It's back...! It's back!" Tempest said. "I said you'd get it back." Gohan said with a smile. Tempest grinned. "I can't believe I was trying so hard for no reason. I won't need to work for the Storm King any longer. I can't thank you enough, Son Gohan." She said. "Oh. You know my name." Gohan said. "When you plan an attack, it's hard not to know your name. I will never forget this." Tempest said. "This has just been some random thing." Goten said. "It really has." Gohan said. The battleship closed and it flew away. The storms all went away... And like that... It's over. The Mane 6 just slowly walked up to Gohan and Goten. "Y'know, I expected that to extend into an even larger plot!" Pinkie said. "What?" Gohan asked. "What was her deal...?" Twilight asked. "She wanted her horn back in exchange for magic. I think." Gohan said. "She came to the wrong place." Goten said. "Well, you seemed to give her the what-for!" Applejack said. "I hope nothing that makes us go on a long adventure making friends to fight something in vain!" Pinkie said. "...What?" Rainbow Dash asked. *** Well, that's it. Mirror Magic and Forgotten Friendship is coming, don't fret. It's just that it's taking too long to create, and I need to give you something. There's like, four more stories before the real MLP Movie. Starring....... Ain't gonna tell you yet! Well, I guess you kind of know, but you really don't. Author's Note Sorry I have not posted, because I am going crazy because of life. Like I said, Mirror Magic and Forgotten Friendship is happening, but it was taking too long for me to add to the season, and I had to give you something to read. I am just really busy at the moment.
Mirror MagicOn a lone planet restaurant, a squid had a ramen stand. Outside of that was a spaceship. The man from that spaceship was inside, ready to eat. He had yellow eyes, (no pupils) blue skin, and some sort of uniform on. "Here you go." The squid said, handing him some ramen. "Ahh, at last! Time to eat!" The man said. He started eating the ramen. "Aren't you on the clock?" The squid asked. "It's fine." The man said. "Well..." The squid said, looking at the spaceship. The man turned around. There was some sort of pink hydra with a cotton attached to string. It was in a container. "That? That's Watagash. It doesn't look it, but it's a diabolical wanted criminal." He said. "Diabolical!?" The squid asked. "Don't worry. It's already sealed away. It can't escape." The man said. It's cotton thing glowed blue and cracked the container. "This is no time to be taking detours, is it? Just take it to prison already." The squid said. "Even a super elite gets hungry!" The man retorted. BOOM! The lid of the spaceship blew open! The two looked over to see the pink parasite fly off into space! ... "Say, pops..." The man said. "Yeah?" The squid asked. "Can I say that you forced me to eat ramen against my will...?" The man asked. "...I'll report you." The squid said. *** If you know the events of Movie Magic... You know who's pissed off. Juniper! She finds a mirror enchanted with Equestrian magic, and realizes it's potential. She realizes it could be used for some... Stuff. *** Tonight was the premiere of the Daring Do movie! Everyone was going! Especially Goten, he thought Daring Do was overrated. You can just imagine how triggered Rainbow Dash and Twilight got... Well, you saw it. Anywho. The group were in some sort of food court. Gohan and Goten weren't allowed to order because... "You eat too much!" Twilight said. "None of us can afford y'all in here!" Applejack said. "But I brought money this time!" Gohan said. "Yeah!" Goten said. "What? No way." Pinkie said. Gohan reached into his orange shirt and pulled out money that was once bits. Needless to say, everyone was shocked. "Why didn't you bring bits from Equestria in the first place?" Sunset asked, knowing what he did. "Because it's practically counterfeit, but not really. If I bring too much of it, the economy would probably fall from inflation!" Gohan said. "Well, Gohan's the science and economics guy. Anything else you can do?" Rainbow Dash asked. "You'll find my views on many things to be surprising. Anyway! Eating time!" Gohan said, browsing his options. Goten followed. "I can never understand him." Applejack said. "He's like a half of Pinkie." Sunset said. "Yeah!" Pinkie said. Well, Sunset sat down at a table while her friends got food. She wrote to Twilight in her book. "Dear Princess Twilight, tonight's the night of the big movie premiere. All my friends are really excited, and I should be, too. Well, not Gohan and Goten. We just dragged him and Goten out here. I can't seem to keep my mind on anything other than our new powers, and the rogue magic that's loose in this world, and how scary but exhilarating it all is. I mean, it still stands no chance against the likes of Gohan. But I just found that I can heal people with my touch! How does it work? How can we be prepared for it? When will it show up again? Well, you see the problem. With the weight of all, or a lot of Equestria on your shoulders, you must have some advice on how to-" She wrote until she ran out of paper. "Oh no!" She said out loud. "Shoot." She said. Pinkie put down a tray of burgers. "What's wrong, Sunset Shimmer?" Pinkie asked. "You seem a bit stressed." Gohan said, holding bags from eight different restaurants. Goten only had four! "Oh, I just ran out of pages in my journal. That's all." Sunset said. 'Obviously that's not all.' Gohan thought. "Chillax, SunShim." Rainbow Dash said, sitting down at a table with Twilight with her meal. "'SunShim'?" Gohan asked, sitting down next to Sunset. "It sounds worse than my accidental nickname for her." He said. 'I thought calling her Sunny was a bit weird, but that's just dumb.' He thought. "Um, who's 'SunShim?'" Fluttershy asked, sitting down with a salad. "That's Sunset Shimmer's new movie star name." Rainbow Dash said, taking a sip of her drink. "I just made it up!" She said. "So what, did you make a gazillion names for us, too?" Gohan asked. "For sweet apples' sake, we only have BIT parts in this flick. We're not movie stars." Applejack said. "YET. Darling. Yet." Rarity said. "I wouldn't dream of being a movie star or any stuntman or whatever." Gohan said, taking a bite out of his sandwich. Before he started gobbling some more. "But you are..." Goten said, right before he dug in. *** "I'm gonna be a stuntman for the Great Saiyaman Movie!" *** 'I hope you don't end up becoming a disappointment.' Goku said. 'I hope not either.' Gohan thought as he ate. 'You did a great job acting, I just hope you don't turn into some weird guy. I'd be proud anyway, because I know you'll grow up to be a great hero.' Goku said. *** Great Saiyaman. That's it. No context needed. *** The other girls were talking about Sunset's book and whatnot, and the two kept talking. 'Thanks, Dad.' Gohan said. 'I just wish I could come out and be there all the time so we can do stuff. Like have a three way fishing competition, now that would be fun!' Goku said. 'What's the restriction?' Gohan asked. 'I'm technically erased out of existence. I don't know how, but I think my soul lived through you.' Goku said. 'That sounds weird... By the way, how did you get erased?' Gohan asked. 'I lost to someone really powerful. Pink, and mutated. His body... Everything was just weird and musclely and bulgy... I don't know how to describe him. No matter what I threw at him, even a Spirit Bomb didn't beat him!' Goku said. 'A-A Spirit Bomb didn't beat this guy!? I have a theory that this monster killed everyone on Earth...' Gohan said. 'Maybe. He said he wanted to exterminate all life in the universe.' Goku said. 'Then I hope I can beat this guy... A few people we beat before somehow came back to fight again.' Gohan said. 'Broly, and who else?' Goku asked. 'Everyone did at one point, because hell's gates were open. I had to beat someone in hell while Goten and the others defended Equestria.' Gohan said. 'Oh. So...?' Goku asked. 'Frieza came back from what I believe to be Namekian dragon balls...' Gohan said. 'Whoa! Really!? What happened?' Goku asked. 'Oh my gosh, he trained for four months and he was super strong! When I fought him, his power was too great for me! I couldn't land the Dragon Fist on him, either.' Gohan said. 'How'd you beat him?' Goku asked. 'I... Tried to self destruct.' Gohan said. 'Oh, I see. I guess you were too powerful for that to actually kill you.' Goku said. 'I lucked out, yeah. I hope this guy isn't as powerful as them, because I really want vengeance for them destroying mom!' Gohan said. 'Chi Chi!?' Goku asked. 'I think she was destroyed with you.' Gohan said. 'O-Oh... I... Oh...' Goku said, clearly distraught. 'Are you okay, Dad?' Gohan asked. 'I-I'll be fine, son. I'm just a bit... Surprised... Also really mad.' Goku said. 'Why do you have to stay in the necklace, though?' Gohan asked, changing the subject. 'I dunno. I guess it's my recharge. I can appear for a while, unless we're fighting because this runs on ki.' Goku said. 'Sounds very counter productive.' Gohan said. 'I don't know what that means either.' Goku said. 'It basically means it doesn't really sound useful.' Gohan said. 'Ohh. Okay.' Goku said. "Okay, I'm heading to Equestria!" Sunset said. "Sorry, I wasn't listening- For what purpose?" Gohan asked. "Princess Twilight wants me to come over and get a journal." Sunset said. "Oh, okay." Gohan said. Nearby, in the crevice of pots and unseen spots... A pink hydra was roaming quietly and unnoticed. *** Juniper was playing with her new mirror behind the counter of refreshments. Which reflected a weird reflection... It was as if she saw a famous version of herself. "It's like this mirror is the only one around here who gets me." She said. Then an irritable cleared throat came from behind. It was the manager, holding a broom. "Popcorn spill at the condiment counter." The manager said, handing it to her. "Does this look like someone who cleans popcorn spills?" Juniper asked with sass, showing the mirror to him. He saw only himself. "No. It looks like someone about to fire somebody." He said. *** "Ugh!" Juniper groaned as she went to the popcorn spill. She sighed angrily. "This is the worst!" She said, dropping the broom. Then she had an idea. Bad one, on paper. "Hey, I know what will perk me up! A little Mirror Me time!" She said, pulling out her mirror. It was reflecting her dreams... Fans wanting autographs, etc. "That's more like it!" She said, giggling. "I wish this popcorn would just clean itself up so I could just stare at you all day." She said. Wish granted. The mirror glowed and absorbed all the popcorn! "Whuh? Done already? I'm shocked." The manager said. Juniper giggled nervously. "You and me both!" She said. *** Sunset returned to Equestria! For the second time. And she was thrown into a pile of books by the portal this time. A pony, Starlight walked up to her. "Unh.... Princess Twilight...? Is that you?" Sunset asked as she regained her sight. "Nope! Starlight Glimmer." Starlight said. Sunset chuckled nervously before standing on her hindlegs by accident. "Oops... Heheh..." She said as she tried to walk around. She was tripping and stuff. "Uh... Maybe put your forehooves on the ground?" Starlight asked. "Actually..." Sunset said, starting to just float. "This is much easier." She said, shocking Starlight. She noticed her shock and changed the subject. "You're Twilight's student, right?" Sunset asked. "Uh-huh. She wanted me to give you these." Starlight said, using her magic to float three magical journals. One was for Twilight and Sunset, and two were for... "Why are there three?" Sunset asked. "There's one for you and Princess Twilight, and one for you and Gohan." Starlight said. "Oh..." Sunset said. "Well, here." Starlight said. She released them, assuming Sunset would take it with her magic, but... Instead she reached for them with her hoof. And Starlight dropped it. The two awkwardly smiled at each other. Sunset started to rub her hoof all over a book in an attempt to grab it. It had been way too long... Starlight pointed at her head as a hint... "That's right! Gohan's teachings!" Sunset said, not using what Starlight meant. She used her ki to lift the books into her backpack. With some strain, but she got it. Which confused Starlight. "Gohan's teachings? What do you mean?" Starlight asked. "He taught me telepathy without magic. And- Oh. That's what you meant... Oh." Sunset said. "Yeah. Anyway, she wanted to give it to you herself, but then she and her friends were called away to solve a friendship problem. That happens a lot around here." Starlight said. "Wait, if they were all called, why wasn't Gohan called too?" Sunset asked. "Apparently his kanji wasn't floating alongside the Cutie marks on the Cutie map." Starlight said, pointing at said map. Yep. His Kanji was the only exception. "Oh. Well, that must be stressful, huh? Never knowing when you might be called on to save the day. Dropping everything at a moment's notice. How does she do it? Wait, how does HE do it!?" Sunset thought. "What do you- Oh! You mean Gohan... Yeah, that is a good question." Starlight said. "An alien from space came and he had to beat him... And then a floating planet robot army came." Sunset said. "And I've seen him take on more monsters than anypony on this planet. Save Princess Celestia." Starlight said. "Well, anyway..." Sunset said. "She just told me to give you the journals." Starlight said. "Heheh... So, are you sure she won't be back anytime soon?" Sunset asked. "Oo...Kay, I guess I'll be going now." Sunset said, floating to the portal. But, Starlight had some questions... "What's it like back there?" She asked. "It's pretty different. It's a world full of people that look like Gohan, but usually taller and a bit slimmer. And also, they're exact copies of the ponies here. It's kinda hard to explain." Sunset said. "Heh. Guess you kinda have to go there to really get it, huh? I, uh, don't suppose..." Starlight said, hinting at something clearly obvious. "You really think Princess Twilight would be okay with that?" Sunset asked. "She let's Gohan and Goten through whenever they want. I doubt me leaving for a while would make her angry... Besides, I don't know for sure that she wouldn't be okay with it." Starlight said. "That's not a particularly compelling argument." Sunset said. "She wants me to learn as much as I can about friendship. And I'm not learning a whole lot just hanging out here in her castle." Starlight said. "...Well, I haven't ever seen you in that world. So chances are you aren't gonna run into yourself." Sunset said. "...Is something you don't hear everyday." Starlight said. "Gohan rams into himself four times at least once a week." Sunset said. "Why!? How do you even know that?" Starlight asked. "It's his cloning, silly! And also because he just does it RIGHT in front of us sometimes." Sunset said. "Plus, we're dating, so I know a lot more about him now." She added. 'More like nearly everything.' She thought. "You? Him? Seriously?" Starlight asked. 'How come he's been hiding this?' She thought. He really hadn't. "Yeah... To be honest, he didn't seem to return the feelings at first, but now he does." Sunset said. "Wow... I thought he'd be in love with a Saiyan or a Human." Starlight said. "That's exactly what happens over there. I become a human." Sunset said. "Really? This sounds interesting..." Starlight said. "How'd you two... Um, fall for each other?" She asked. "Well, I had this really huge crush on him after he stood up for me when I was framed. Oh my gosh, after that, he was just a lot more charming, cute, and everything in the book. I started to act nervous around him, and I even went to Princess Twilight about it. She was... Well, really excited to see it." Sunset said. "And what about Gohan...?" Starlight asked. "Well... You know the phrase, 'What is it called when your crush has a crush on you?'" Sunset asked. "No." Starlight said. "Its imagination." Sunset said. "Oh. Okay... So... He didn't like you back...?" Starlight asked. "Well, I guess. I told him, and he didn't understand. Once we... Well, kissed, he didn't know that we even kissed until I told him." Sunset said. "I thought he was smart...?" Starlight said/asked. "Well, he's super smart, no doubt about it. But he had no clue whatsoever about romance." Sunset said. "Oh. I can see that happening if his father has two kids yet doesn't even know what kissing is." Starlight said. "Yeah. Well, he's learning more and more. But now... Well, I don't want to speak for him, but he really likes me in that way." Sunset said. "Ooh... Have you two...?" Starlight asked with a smirk. "N-No!" Sunset said, blushing. "He's too innocent!" She retorted. Starlight giggled. "Okay then... If you really like him, you'll do it eventually." She said. "N-No! Some pe- po... Okay, some COUPLES don't do that until marriage." Sunset said. "Pfft. Like who?" Starlight asked. ... "Okay, you got me. But I'm not going to do that unless he wants to... Which I doubt he will." Sunset said. "Well, good luck. Tell me more!" Starlight said. "Later. Anyway, just lay low. Don't draw too much attention to your-" Sunset said, before Starlight scoffed. "You'll barely even notice I'm there!" Starlight said. "Introducing you to my friends could be a nice distraction." Sunset said. "But you'll also totally notice I'm there, and it will keep your mind off of other things that might be bothering you. So? What do you think? Can I go back with you!?" Starlight asked, giving her puppy dog eyes with hearts and sparkles and shit in them. Well, not actual shit, but- You get the point. *** The two were on the other side. Starlight groaned as she got up. "What happened?" She said, inspecting her hands. Then she saw the human Sunset. "It's all pretty weird at first, but try to roll with it." She said, helping the new Starlight up. Who struggled to stay standing. "Hi!" Sunset said to a passer by. Starlight inspected herself even more. "Are these...!?" She asked. "Hands." Sunset said. "And what happened to the rest of my hoo-" "Feet! Those are feet." Sunset interrupted. "Remember the whole thing where I said you need to lay low? Now would be a good time to play it cool." She said. "Oh. Right. Heh. Play it cool. Heheh." Starlight said. Then she started to trot on all fours... And a few people saw that... Sunset stood her up. And a few people passed by with some looks. "You did say I'd make a good distraction." Starlight said. "Okay, so, I'll fly you to the movie theatre to my friends, and we'll go from there." Sunset said, grabbing Starlight's hand. "Okay- AH!" Starlight yelped as they suddenly flew. *** The hydra creature, Watagash, was roaming behind the counter. Juniper sighed as she was filling popcorn boxes. "Stupid... What nut orders 15 orders of popcorn!?" She muttered. "That would be me." A voice came from behind. It was Gohan, Goten, and the rest of the Humane 7. "JUNIPER MONTAGE!?" Pinkie screamed. Juniper nearly fell over at that booming voice. "Oh, right." Gohan said. "How did you even hear me?" Juniper asked. "What in the blazes are you doin' here?" Applejack asked. "Were you invited to the Daring Do premiere? Ooh, that's exciting! No, crazy! No, concerning! No! Just-" Pinkie said, before Gohan put his hand over her mouth. "It's not that bad...! Unless she wants revenge or something." He said. "It kinda feels that way." Goten said. "It IS that way! I wasn't invited to the premiere. My uncle Canter Zoom felt bad for firing me, so he pulled some strings and got me this job." Juniper said. "You work here?" Fluttershy asked. "As little as possible." Juniper said. ... "Y'know, if you hadn't tried to sabotage the movie, you could be celebrating with us." Rainbow Dash said. "Rainbow Dash, don't use hindsight when it's clearly obvious... Unless she doesn't realize it SOMEHOW." Gohan said. Juniper groaned in anger and went from behind the counter to in front of it. "Ugh! This should be MY night! I would have found a way to be in the film if YOU all had stayed out of it! I would have been Daring Do! Everyone would've loved me! SEE!?" Juniper asked, showing off the mirror. There were just a bunch of confused looks. "What?" Everyone asked. "I do feel some sort of energy emanating from it." Gohan said. "She doesn't realize it, Gohan." Goten said. "Can't you see what's right under your noses? Ugh! I wish-" Juniper said, before... Suddenly... Her eyes glowed red for a moment, then she fell on her knees. "What?" Pinkie asked. "Are you alright?" Twilight asked. Juniper slowly stood up with closed eyes. And she seemed even more angry. 'A rise in power... But how? It's unnatural...' Gohan thought. *** A spaceship was soaring the cosmos. It had a radar... "Planet Equestria!? That's so far away! Ugh. Oh well. Maybe I can make a few pitstops... This is going to take a long time." The man said. *** "You know..." Juniper said, standing up again. "Uh..." Everyone said. She suddenly had an evil grin. And a pink cotton ball antenna popped out of her head. Her eyes were completely red. "I have the sudden feeling that I... Can take on anything!" She yelled, powering up immensely. She had this red aura. 'What the heck!?' Gohan thought. She had a few veins bulging out... She charged through the counter, putting a huge hole in it! Her blinding speed was too much for the rest of the Humane 7. She sequentially punched and kicked every single one away. They all had quite a hard landing, but not enough to create a ton of damage. Nobody happened to be nearby. But Gohan and Goten blocked her next attack! "W-What happened!?" Gohan asked. "She just got crazy strong!" Goten said. "I'm gonna tear you apart...!" Juniper said. The Humane 6 all got themselves up. "Oh that is it!" Rainbow Dash yelled. She instantly ponied up. "Let's play it on difficult!" She yelled, charging at Juniper. Juniper grinned. "Come at me!" She yelled. She raised her mirror up. "I WISH YOU'D ALL GO AWAY!" She yelled. "Uh oh." Gohan said. A huge gust of magic and wind came from the mirror. The Humane 6 were all sucked in! Juniper put the mirror in her view again. "Hmm. Looks like I may be finally getting the hang of this." She said with a red flash in her eyes. She picked up Fluttershy's butterfly barrette and put it on her vest. "You..." Gohan said. Juniper looked up, looking irritated. It was only Gohan. He had a pretty stern face. "I don't know what happened to you, but that doesn't protect you from my wrath." Gohan said. Juniper giggled... "Your wrath? I think I should put you in your place, boy!" She yelled. Nobody happened to be nearby. *** What the fuck kind of place is this? It's... A winter wonderland? There's no snow, but... "Uh... Any clue yet where we are or what just happened? Anyone?" Rarity asked. "I think we're in a mirror...?" Goten asked... Kinda. "Pinkie Pie's on the case!" Pinkie said. She first broke the fourth wall by changing the camera angle. "Nope, no wall over here. Come out, come out, walls, wherever you are!" She said, running away. Eventually she came back. Running in the same direction...? "I don't get this place!" She said. Gone again. Oop. She's back. "There's no walls in here anywhere!" She said. "You're adding to the nonsense... To be frank." Goten said. Then there was some sort of portal angled 78 degrees downward at the group. In the sky...? "Exit!" Goten said, flying up. "Somehow, some way, that dang Juniper sucked us all inside of that mirror of hers." Applejack said. "Or into some kind of limbo behind it." Twilight said. "I think I might be freaking out a little bit." Fluttershy said. "You call THAT a freak out?" Rainbow Dash asked. "I am internally... Especially at that." Fluttershy said, pointing at Goten. Speaking of whom... "What is going on?" He asked, suddenly teleporting back a few feet as he gets close to the portal thing. It's like Super Mario 64 with this shit. You can't access the final boss and if you try it won't work. Going up those stairs forever unless you get the stars- I'm rambling. "Uh... So we can't get out...?" Applejack asked. "I'm trying!" Goten yelled, turning Super Saiyan. "On the upside, there's popcorn in here!" Pinkie said, throwing that up and eating some. "Mmm... Sticky..." She said. "How could this happen on the evening of my very first movie premiere? Of all the nights! Curse you, cruel fate!" Rarity said. "Not our #1 problem right now, Rarity." Rainbow Dash said. "Mmm, true. But perhaps we can agree it's in the top five." Rarity said. Goten just gave up on flying. "Would blasts work?" He asked, throwing a ki blast. I... Pfft... The... The blast... It's just... Teleporting back and going forward in a vicious cycle. "Ooh! Hypnotic!" Pinkie said. "I give up. Gohan can get us out, right?" Goten asked, flying down. As he made it to the others' level... He fell through the floor...? "Uh..." Everyone said. Then he came back out of the sky. "Now I can't even stand!? What is this place!?" Goten asked. "Is there really no way out of here?" Applejack asked. Then fucking almonds came out from the portal, raining down on the seven. Various 'Ow!'S and 'Ugh!'s and 'Mmm!'s. The 'Mmm!'s came from Goten and Pinkie. What a surprise. Rarity just put up a diamond to defend herself. "What's that?" She asked. Goten and Pinkie were playing catch without their hands. Rainbow Dash just dodged and caught one. "Chocolate covered almonds?" She asked. *** "Oh come on! Why!?" Gohan asked, trying to reason with her. "I'm not listening!" Juniper said as she started sucking up almonds into her mirror. "I really don't want to solve this with violence, but I have no choice." Gohan said. *** Sunset and Starlight were in the mall, having ice cream. Sunset was calling everyone. "Six cell phones. All straight to voicemail." She said. "I'm sure they're around. What's the worst that could've happened?" Starlight asked. "Magic is on the loose here now, and it does not work the same way it does back in Equestria. Any number of terrible things could have happened." Sunset said before exhaling. "And lately, I spend eighty percent of my time thinking about them. My friends are probably fine. I'm overreacting. But maybe not. I can't tell anymore." She said. "This is the problem you wanted to talk to Princess Twilight about, right? Because you can still talk it over with me if you want." Starlight said. ... "Or you could just journal with Princess Twilight or Gohan about it. Whatever works." She added. "It's just... I know my friends and I have been given special powers for a reason, and I want to be ready for whatever is gonna be thrown at us. Gohan can't always be there for us, and I guess knowing that is making me feel like I could never really relax and let my guard down, so I end up obsessing about it and can't get out of my own head." Sunset said. "...Hmm... That's a toughie. Guess my advice would be to just trust things will work themselves out in the end. If you spend too much time worrying about the bad things that MIGHT happen, you'll miss out on all the good things that ARE happening." Starlight said. "You mean correcting Gohan on how to date?" Sunset asked sarcastically. "You have to do that?" Starlight asked, not realizing sarcasm. "Well, yeah, but that was a joke. Half the time it goes that way." Sunset said. "Really? Doesn't sound like the perfect boyfriend to me." Starlight said. "He's learning. If you saw it the way I see it, you'd understand." Sunset said with a smile. "Uwah!" "What was that?" Starlight asked. Even some bystanders looked around in confusion. Then, out of nowhere, Gohan was sliding backwards on his feet across the floor. With a little buffed up Juniper trailing him. He stopped beside Sunset and Starlight. "I said let go of my friends!" He yelled, jumping at her. The two's fists collided with each other. "It's Juniper Montage!" Sunset said. "No!" Starlight said dramatically before gasping. "...Who's that?" She asked seriously. Gohan just kicked Juniper to the side. Some people started taking pictures of this... Thing. "She's trouble. Huh. That's Fluttershy's barrette. Wait here for me." Sunset said, ponying up. Well, Starlight was just confused at that. Sunset flew into the brawl. She rammed herself into the... Sort of heteromorphisation Juniper. If that's even a thing. Whatever. Juniper didn't fall, but was knocked back a bit. And she smirked. "Sunset Shimmer! I was wondering when you would show up." She said. "What did you do to my friends!?" Sunset asked. "I won't tell..." Juniper said. "She has them captive in that magic mirror. And surprisingly got Goten." Gohan said. "Juniper, give me my friends back!" Sunset yelled. "Actually... I was thinking that you should join them!" Juniper yelled, aiming her mirror at the two. Then there was yet another huge gust of wind and magic. Gohan had to cover himself with crossed arms. And Sunset was pulled into the damn mirror. Starlight gasped, and so did everyone else. Now Gohan was at full rage mode. Not full... Well, let's say 40%? I mean, if he was at full, he'd go Super Saiyan- I'm rambling. He gave Juniper the sternest and angriest of looks. Juniper only giggled as her eyes glowed red for a moment. "I'm surprised you're still here... But I'm the strongest!" She yelled. 'I think she's possessed or something.' Goku said. 'Oh gee, I never thought of that- Of course I knew that! What is that thing sticking out of her head!?' Gohan thought. *** Everyone was just hanging around. Then... Sunset was hurled out of that portal. "Sunset Shimmer!" Twilight said. Everyone was excited to see her! ... They all helped her up. "Hooray! We're all together again! Except Gohan." Pinkie said, hugging Sunset. "How is he doing against her?" Twilight asked. Fluttershy noticed her pendant glowing. In fact, everyone's were. "Um... Everyone...?" She asked. "Holding back against her for no reason whatsoever." Sunset said as she ponied down. "Uh... Guys?" Fluttershy asked. "As to be expected." Goten said. "And Starlight Glimmer is out there too." Sunset said. "Girls." Fluttershy said a little more sternly. "You mean Twilight's student in Equestria?" Rarity asked. "How would SHE know where- Ohhhh!" Pinkie said, putting her elbow on Sunset's shoulder and giving her a grin. "...You didn't. She isn't...!" Twilight said. "Why not?" Goten asked. "I kinda told her she could come back here with me." Sunset said. "Everyone, please." Fluttershy said. Ugh. Nobody's listening to her because I am an evil person. "You really think Princess Twilight would be okay with that?" Applejack asked. "I don't know for sure that she wouldn't be okay with it..." Sunset said. "Which isn't a very compelling argument." Goten said. "Um, so sorry to interrupt, but-" Fluttershy said, before- "Whoa! Check out our geodes!" Rainbow Dash said. And they were glowing. Fluttershy sighed. "That's what I was trying to say." She said. "We'll put that as the fact in the book." Goten reassured. Then there were tremors and glows of lights randomly. "Something's changed. This wasn't happening before." Twilight said. "Maybe it's because all seven of us are together now." Sunset said. "But isn't Gohan a part of our necklace thingy?" Pinkie asked. "I think we found the substitute..." Rarity said, looking at Goten with fear. "What?" Goten asked. As it turns out, he was glowing black. He looked at his hands, and- "Oh, crapbaskets." He said. "Oh. You say that too." Sunset said. "Is this a good thing or a bad thing?" Applejack asked. Then everyone's necklaces (Goten had it just blasted from his body) blasted at the portal. And intensified the portal. "I'm going with not a good thing!" Rarity said. "And I was a Super Saiyan!" Goten said, losing the stamina to stay Super Saiyan. *** Some rainbow came from the mirror and went into Juniper, and she started glowing blue and growing gigantic. 'You have GOT to be KIDDING me. Was Goten a Super Saiyan!?' Gohan thought. Now she was... Well, transformed. The pink antenna was on her head, still. And she had some veins popping out... And red eyes. It's her fantasy self, I guess. Juniper looked into her mirror and herself. "Now everyone will recognize I'm a REAL star!" She said. People started screaming and somewhat running. I mean, it's not everyday you see a nine foot tall behemoth- Oh wait, that was a few weeks ago. Starlight kinda hid behind a bookshelf. Some people were taking pictures. Like fucking dumbasses. Juniper perceived that as photographers and news reporters and shit. She saw a boy and a mother, who SEEMED like they liked her, but were terrified as hell. "Want Mommy to take our picture together?" Juniper asked. The boy had an ice cream that he dropped. They got the fuck out of there! Then Juniper was kneed in the face. "Don't forget about the enemy in front of you!" He yelled as he punched her again. He kicked the mirror right out of her hand! It landed, and cracked a little bit. *** "So you've already tried flying?" Sunset asked. Then the weird realm they were in started cracking. "The mirror is breaking!" She said. "Brilliant deduction!" Twilight said sarcastically. "Oh come on, what is taking Gohan so long!?" Goten yelled. 'I really hope you know what you're doing, Gohan!' Sunset thought. *** Gohan dashed over to the mirror and picked it up. "Give that back!" Juniper yelled, trying to grab him. He jumped back. "No!" Gohan yelled. And he pulled down the skin under his eye and stuck his tongue out in an attempt to infuriate her. Which worked! Juniper tried ramming into Gohan only to ram into the wall. "I wish my friends and my brother were out of this mirror!" He yelled. ... He landed on the ground. 'It's not working.' Goku said. 'Oh gee, I didn't realize!' Gohan thought. 'Jeez! What got you so angry?' Goku asked. 'ARE YOU SERIOUS RIGHT NOW!?' Gohan asked. "Looks like you can't use it! Hah!" Juniper yelled. She grabbed a soda machine and hurled it at Gohan! Gohan sighed as he caught that with one hand and hurled it right back. He dashed alongside it. Well, Juniper was obviously confused. The two rammed into her, right into the wall. Gohan jumped back and fired a barrage of yellow blasts with one hand! He jumped back to try again. "Mirror, I wish that you brought Sunset Shimmer, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Son Goten, Applejack, and Twilight Sparkle back to this world!" He said. No response. Juniper yelled as she jumped out of the debris. "Give it back to me!" She yelled. "My friends and family are in it!" Gohan yelled. Then at that exact moment... A clip of Dance Magic JUST happened to play at that moment. And that made Juniper angry. "You and your FRIENDS stole my one chance at being famous!" Juniper yelled. "Is that what this is about!?" Starlight asked. The two turned their heads to Starlight. "Starlight Glimmer...?" Gohan asked. "Is fame really what you're after? Or is it something else!?" Starlight asked. Juniper groaned in frustration and grabbed a vending machine. "LIKE WHAT!?" She screamed, hurling it at her. Gohan quickly kicked the vending machine aside. "A friend...!?" Starlight asked. "Starlight, take this for a moment." Gohan said, handing the mirror over to Starlight. "Why would I need a friend!? I am at my strongest, and NOBODY CAN STOP ME!" Juniper yelled. Gohan made his yellow aura flare. "Okay, Juniper..." He said. He started running at her. "If you're at your full power, then maybe you should see mine!" He yelled, suddenly turning Super Saiyan. And his speed increased dramatically. "W-What!?" Juniper asked before she was elbowed in the stomach. She tried responding with a punch downward, but Gohan flew around and rammed into her side. He threw a barrage of punches, screaming that same thing as his father. "ATATATATATATA!" Just a lot more high pitched. He kicked her up towards the ceiling, but teleported behind her and performed an axe kick on her, sending her to the ground. But he didn't end it there. He teleported to the side of where she would land and kicked her to the wall! And then... "Kamehameha!" He yelled, firing the immense yet weakened blast. I mean, he went overboard with Super Saiyan, but... BOOM! Explosion! Well, that died down soon. Starlight soon walked to Gohan's side. "You did it!" She said. "Since when did you get here?" Gohan asked. "Er... I convinced Sunset Shimmer to take me." Starlight said. "Oh. Okay." Gohan said. The smoke finally died down and a very weakened Juniper was there. Well, the pink antenna was gone. And so was her transformation. She was regular old Juniper Montage. Struggling to stand up. The two felt bad... But... They walked up to her. She looked up at Gohan with fear and tears. "I... I-I..." She sobbed repeatedly. ... "Juniper... Do you understand?" Starlight asked. "Understand what!?" Juniper sobbed. "What you really want?" Gohan asked. "But... B-But who would want to be my friend!?" Juniper sobbed. "I'll be your friend." Gohan and Starlight both said. "Why!?" Juniper asked. "Because I understand you." Starlight said. "I also know how you feel." Gohan said. "We've had times in our lives where we wanted revenge." He said. "You think getting revenge would make you feel better, but it won't. You'll probably murder someone!" Starlight said. "Like I wanted to!" Gohan said. "You wanted to?" Starlight asked. "Who wouldn't?" Gohan asked. "Fair point." Starlight said. Juniper pondered. "I've already made too many mistakes. What I've done is... is... unforgivable." She said, sitting instead of being on her knees. "No, Juniper. I know they'll forgive you. But first, you have to set them free!" Starlight said, handing the mirror over to Juniper. Juniper took it. "It won't matter if you regain that strength. You can control it." Gohan said. "I..." Juniper said. "I wish I could make up for my mistakes!" She said. And like that... The seven were freed! And the mirror was a mirror again. And all the debris and damages were gone. Everyone got themself up. "Gohan! You did it!" Sunset said, giving him a big hug. Starlight giggled. "Half of it was the fight... The other half being Starlight convincing her." Gohan said. "And you had to go Super Saiyan?" Goten asked. "Oh, no. I just wanted to show her how serious I could get." Gohan said. Then some of the shoppers came back to look. "So much for laying low..." Starlight said. "That's mostly my fault for being explosive." Gohan said. "And your hair." Sunset said, rubbing that weirdly unchanged hair. "It's not it's natural color, I know." Gohan said. Then everyone turned to Juniper. And she had some talking and apologizing to do. "I'm so sorry..." Juniper said. "Don't worry. We've all been there." Sunset said. "Really?" Juniper asked, not buying it. Starlight raised her hand. "Manipulated an entire town into giving up their talents so they wouldn't think they were special." She said. "Overpowered by a magic I couldn't control and created a rift between two worlds, almost destroying both of them in the process." Twilight said. "Turned an entire school into my own personal zombie army in hopes of conquering a distant pony world." Sunset said. "Fighting an evil so great that I managed to gain immense power to stop him but I ended up torturing him like a sadist until he realized he could self destruct to destroy the planet, resulting in the sacrifice of my father and everyone wanting to kill me for it." Gohan said. ... Juniper was just surprised. "...Yeah, I don't think it counts for you, Gohan." Sunset said. "It does to me! That hurts me to this day." Gohan said. 'At least I don't care about dying five thousand times!' Goku said. "Wow! We are a REAAAALLY forgiving group." Pinkie said. "Except Gohan doesn't need it. He got it from everyone already." Rainbow Dash said. Everyone just laughed. *** Hangout in front of the damn portal. Why can't they just go to the park? Is that Twilight leaning against the portal but not going on? Huh? Well, the more confusing thing was, Gohan and Goten training. Or Goten really trying to beat the shit out of Gohan with nothing but failure. Gohan didn't want to do that since he just fought some huge weird evil thing. But, Goten was a feisty little one. So... While Juniper was laughing with Rainbow Dash and Pinkie, she couldn't help but wonder HOW THE FUCK GOHAN FUNCTIONS. Sorry. "What is that kid...? How does he do those blasts and stuff?" Juniper asked. "Gohan? He's a pretty cool guy." Rainbow Dash said. "He has super powers because he's a half alien. Or, a whole alien, to be realistic. We can do the blasts too! Watch!" Pinkie said, blasting a pink blast to the sky. "Oh... Uh... That's weird. And doesn't seem to make any sense..." Juniper said. "We stopped asking questions a long time ago." Rainbow Dash said. "What about his yellow hair?" Juniper asked. "Oh. That's Super Saiyan. Increases every ability of his tens of times over!" Pinkie said. "He even has Super Saiyan 2 and 4." Rainbow Dash said. "Then... What happened to 3?" Juniper asked. It sucks. Not really, but it's an asspull a little better than Ultra Instinct. "It's not a thing because Pinkie keeps insisting that it's Super Saiyan 4." Rainbow Dash said. "Because it's true!" Pinkie said. "Oh, right. Gohan." Sunset said. Goten stopped his attacking. "Yes?" Gohan asked. "Princess Twilight wanted me to give you this." Sunset said, giving him a book. It was a journal with Gohan's kanji '飯' and Sunset's cutie mark merged together. "What is it?" Gohan asked. "It's the same kind of journal Twilight and I have, but for me and you." Sunset said. "Oh. I guess that's good. Thanks." Gohan said. 'Kiss! Kiss!' Starlight thought. That didn't happen. 'Aww!' She thought. "I'm so sad to leave. I haven't really had the chance to get to know all of you. And to see Gohan be with his marefriend." Starlight said with a smirk. "What's a marefriend?" Everyone but Gohan, Goten and Sunset asked. "It's girlfriend over there." Gohan said. "Oh." Everyone said. "Maybe you don't have to leave yet." Sunset said, noticing that Twilight left a message. She opened the book and read it. "Dear Sunset, some lessons are better learned in action, and you girls are great teachers. Starlight should stay for a few more days. Enjoy the premiere!" "Well, I guess that works out. I'm also guessing that you're having a few slumber parties." Gohan said. "Yeah!" Pinkie said. "And Juniper's coming!" Fluttershy said. "Y-Yay!" Juniper said, a bit surprised. "And, uh... Gohan too, right?" Sunset asked Gohan. Well... He didn't really want to today... "Riiiight?" Sunset asked, nudging him with her elbow. "Uh... I-I don't know, I'm not really in the mood to sleepover again." Gohan said. "Oh, come on. It won't hurt!" Sunset said. "Do it for her." Starlight said with a wink. "How do you even know- Oh." Gohan said. "Sorry..." Sunset said. "I-Its okay, I don't intend to hide it." Gohan said. "I mean, you don't reveal it. Only I tend to get affectionate." Sunset said. "Uh... L-Let's just go to the premiere already." Gohan said, changing the subject. "Don't try to change the subject here, trying to hide it." Sunset said. "Oh, come on..." Gohan said. 'This is just cute.' Starlight thought. 'What is this?' Juniper thought. "Fine, I'll stay too." Gohan said. "Me too." Goten said. "This has gone way out of turn." Rarity said. "I like seeing this. I can't wait for the to-" "-NO!" Sunset interrupted Starlight, blushing. "It's just a joke." Starlight said, giggling. "What?" Gohan asked. "Don't ask." Sunset said. "But wha-" "-I said don't ask!" Sunset interrupted. "I can't wait to see you two all lovey dovey in the premiere." Starlight said. "Expect that." Rainbow Dash joked. "I am beyond confused as to why this is happening." Juniper said. "Let's just go...!" Gohan said, blushing and crossing his arms. Everyone laughed. At his expense, I guess. But eventually he laughed at himself. Nearby, Watagash roamed. He slipped into the sewage. Uh oh. We're fucked.
Shadow PlayEveryone, including Gohan, Goten, the two princesses, Mane 6, Starlight and Sunburst were in Canterlot's throne room. Apparently Sunburst had brought some sort of book belonging to Star Swirl the Bearded. Celestia and Luna were reading it. "I've always wondered what happened to Star Swirl. This is quite a discovery, Sunburst." Celestia said. "So it's genuine? You can verify that this journal really belonged to Star Swirl the Bearded!?" Twilight asked with enthusiasm. "Indeed. From the looks of it, the last thing he wrote before facing the Pony of Shadows." Luna said, reading the book. "Uh... So, the Pony of Shadows was really real?" Rainbow Dash asked. "It appears so." Celestia said. "We never met the other Pillars, and we were too young to understand the danger they faced." Luna said. "Hold on a second now. All those legendary ponies were real, too? And they went off with Star Swirl to face the Pony of Shadows, and then none of them were ever heard from again?" Applejack said. "Uh, yeah. Weren't you listening?" Pinkie asked. "I've heard of the Pony of Shadows in theory, but now that it's real... Well, it can't be so bad now." Gohan said. "But what happened to them all?" Fluttershy asked. "They must have defeated the villain, since Equestria is still full of light and hope." Rarity said. "That wouldn't be the case without an alien or two. Or three, I guess." Rainbow Dash said. 'You told them about my intervention?' Goku asked. 'I'm surprised you know that word. Yeah, I did.' Gohan said. "Well... Eh... I wouldn't be around if you hadn't taken care of me, so... It's you guys?" Gohan asked. "Don't make us seem like saints." Applejack said. "Can we change the subject?" Goten asked. "Where did they go?" Starlight asked, doing just that. "My Olde Ponish is a bit rusty, but I wonder if the answers can be found somewhere within the pages of this book." Celestia said. "Olde Ponish! I love Olde Ponish!" Gohan and Twilight happened to say excitedly at the same time. "You studied Olde Ponish?" Everyone but Goten asked. "Does that actually come as a surprise to you all?" Gohan asked. "...Actually, it shouldn't." Fluttershy said. "I guess we have two Olde Ponish experts in here! But I've memorized every one of Star Swirl's ancient texts!" Twilight said. "Same here." Gohan said. "Oh yeah?" Twilight asked with a smirk. "Oh, now you've done it!" Rainbow Dash said. *** "Huh. I guess you were right." Twilight said. "That was torture." Rainbow Dash said. 'I'm sorry, what just happened? I don't speak spaghetti.' Goku said. "With a brain that can perceive actions exponentially faster than anypony, it should really come as no surprise." Luna said. "I study a lot." Gohan said. 'Just like Mom would've wanted me to!' He thought. 'You mean not turn into... I think she called me a delinquent. Yeah, a delinquent?' Goku asked. 'Exactly.' Gohan said. "We have fond memories of our old teacher. If you could discover what happened to him, we would be most grateful." Luna said. "Solving a thousands-year-old mystery could take forever! Think of the research! The re-reading! The re-re-reading!" Sunburst asked with enthusiasm with the reading. "I know!" Gohan, Twilight and Goten said, squealing like little girls. "You might find you need help." Celestia said. "Luckily, she's got a whole bushel o' helpers right here." Applejack said. "Totally! Uh... how long will all this research take, exactly?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Well, according to my-" "NO! In English!" Rainbow Dash said. "About nineteen-" "In French!" Rainbow Dash interrupted, trying to get him to shush. "Vu la taille de sa bibliothèque, les vitesses de mon frère et de moi, et la vitesse moyenne d'un poney, cela devrait nous prendre environ dix-neuf minutes." Gohan said. ... Everyone around him was just shocked. "...What? I gave her the translation." Gohan said. "I didn't expect you to speak French!" Twilight said. "My last Christmas apart from killing Santa with my dad, Piccolo, ~~my real dad~~ and my other friends consisted of reading Moby Dick in French. Before that my mother made me learn more eight languages." Gohan said. "What eight?" Twilight asked. "No!" Everyone else except Gohan and Goten yelled. "Tell me when we get home." Goten said. 'Me too! I forgot that you learned that much.' Goku said. *** Now they were at the Temple of Ponhenge. Well, everyone excluding the two princesses. Twilight was carrying the book which had the answers. And Goten found it! And Gohan managed to read the sloppy writing. "This is Ponhenge?" Goten asked. "Think of it as the mountain dad used to go fishing on when he was your age." Gohan said. "What kind of dad does that!?" Rainbow Dash asked. 'This one! I used to think women had weiners.' Goku said. 'Irrelevant.' Gohan said. 'I don't know what that means, but I feel hungry for the first time.' Goku said. 'Speaking of which... Same here.' Gohan said. 'Huh. I guess it runs on your hunger.' Goku said. "I've never seen magical runes like these before! Have you?" Sunburst asked. "Uh-uh." Twilight said. "I don't think anypony's seen any of this for a LONG time." Rainbow Dash said, trying to pull off a vine. She failed and landed in a bush. Applejack pulled her out. "It'd take a whole team of ponies to clear away all this brush." She said. Goku was internally laughing. "I mean, we do have them." Pinkie said, pointing at the family. "I'm not sure we'd find out what happened here over a thousand years ago." Fluttershy said. "I agree. If we just move stuff around, we might not even find anything new. We might even destroy evidence." Gohan said. Twilight put her book on one of the runes. "You're right. I suppose it was a long shot." She said, suddenly giving up. "I guess I hoped we'd get here and the mystery would just magically be explained." She said. Then her book started glowing. Then it opened and Star Swirl the Bearded came out of it! A projection, really. "Star Swirl!? I... I've wanted to meet you my whole life! I can't believe you're here!" Twilight fangirled. "I don't think he's really there... It's probably an illusion or a projection." Gohan said. "I don't think any of them are!" Sunburst said. Then ponies started appearing on all the runes. Then Star Swirl blasted his horn at the middle, creating... The Pony of Shadows!? He laughed evilly. "You summon me at your peril, Star Swirl! Once I defeat all of you, this realm will embrace the darkness as I did so long ago!" He yelled before roaring. All the ponies backed away, but the Saiyans looked closer in astonishment. The other ponies were caught in some sort of rope. And they struggled to even stand... "Drawing me here will only make me stronger. You will never defeat me!" The Pony of Shadows said. "We did not come here to defeat you." Star Swirl said, breaking the rope, or vine, actually. He used a projection of Twilight's book to free everyone else. The items they held were glowing, and formed a gem. "What... What are you doing!?" The Pony of Shadows asked. "We came to contain you." Star Swirl said. They all rose, and the Pony of Shadows yelled and then they all blew up and then the various items fell and then they cracked into nothing. Confused yet? ... "Well, you did ask for a magical explanation." Pinkie said. "Uh... What just happened?" Rainbow Dash asked. "It looked like Star Swirl cast a spell that banished the Pony of Shadows." Starlight said. "Of course! Powerful magic like that would leave an impression on this place. Bringing the book back here let us see what happened." Sunburst said. "Which was what?" Applejack asked. "Star Swirl and the rest of the Pillars sacrificed themselves to save Equestria." Twilight said. *** Back at Twilight's castle... "It's amazing to think one of the greatest mysteries of Equestria was solved with a musty old book from an antique shop." Starlight said. "It's amazing to think anyone can fly without wings." Rainbow Dash said. "And be faster than-" She said, before Gohan covered her mouth. "We already went over this. You are faster." He lied. "Then what happened here just a few hours ago!?" Sunburst asked. "I can read faster, but travel speed is more her thing." Gohan said. "I know I've finished one of Star Swirl's spells before, but this one was on a whole different level! Was it an explosion of magical feedback? An evocation? A kind of incantation? It's Star Swirl, so the possibilities are endless! And once Gohan set me on the right track with his crazy hornwriting-" Twilight said before laughing and snorting. "I mean, he was a genius, so I guess we can forgive a little messiness- I went through the journal again, and it's amazing!" She said. "Twilight, darling. We understand you're excited, but that's all we understand." Rarity said. "What exactly is so amazing?" Rainbow Dash asked. "What!? Only how Star Swirl and the other Pillars sent the Pony of Shadows to limbo!" Gohan said. "They did what now?" Applejack asked. 'I remember when Master Roshi was sent to limbo.' Goku said. Twilight and Gohan pulled out a tiny replica they happened to make of the runes. "They used their magic to open a portal between worlds, to limbo, and pulled the Pony of Shadows inside." Twilight said, making the diorama explode. "Your diorama!" Rarity said. "We made more!" Gohan said, pulling out yet another. "They're over there, too." Twilight said, pointing at the arts and crafts Picasso. "Star Swirl thought the only way to trap the Pony of Shadows in limbo was for the Pillars to take him there." She said. "So they got stuck, too!" Applejack said. "The Pony of Shadows must have been really awful for them to do that." Fluttershy said. "I suppose being trapped for all time with a super-duper bad guy in limbo might be okay if you were doing the limbo, but that's still pushing it." Pinkie said, doing the limbo. "The thing is, I think I can get them out." Twilight said. "Twilight, are you serious? You can save the most legendary ponies of all time?" Sunburst asked. "I-I don't know. Opening portals between worlds didn't work out well for me. Are you sure it's safe?" Starlight asked. "First of all, you opened portals through time. And second of all, Star Swirl wrote the spell you used to do it. If he'd been here, he could have stopped it. Equestria would be safer with him in it. We have to save him." Twilight said. "I'm all for that, but at the same time, I don't know if that's a good idea... I mean, the Pony of Shadows can't be that bad for Goten and I, but I really don't wanna deal with that." Gohan said. "You'd be savin' ALL the Pillars, right? A-And they disappeared ages ago." Applejack said. "That's the thing about limbo. It isn't one place or another. It's in between, so time stands still. If we can pull them out, it'll be like they never left. I actually built a model to demonstrate-" Twilight said, before Rainbow Dash groaned and smashed her head on the table. "What can we do to help?" Spike asked. "If I'm right, we need to find items that are connected to the Pillars in some way." Twilight said. "You mean, like, stuff that belonged to them?" Rainbow Dash asked. "How would we know what to look for? Or where?" Fluttershy asked. "Luckily, Star Swirl took a lot of notes. And I memorized them! 'My compatriots are as varied as the realm itself and hail from every corner of our land, bringing with them artifacts and talismans of great power.'" Gohan said. The there was a glow above Gohan and Twilight that they didn't notice. "Um... Gohan? Twilight? What are you doing?" Starlight asked. Everyone looked up to see lights with items in them. Those items fell to a part on the map. ... "I guess we don't need to figure out what to get. And who to get them." Twilight said. Gohan groaned for a moment, but perked up. "Goten?" He asked. "Alright!" Goten said. Those two were out faster than you can say hi. *** "Oh! You're back." Twilight said. Gohan and Goten carried various items in their hands. "Ugh. We had to do a lot to just get these, dang it!" Gohan said. "Like what?" Starlight asked. "I do not want to go into detail, there was something as nifty as trimming bushes and extreme as lava surfing." Gohan said. "Okay, that sounds awesome." Rainbow Dash said. "I nearly fried myself." Goten said. *** They were back at the runes... "I can't believe I'm going to meet Star Swirl the Bearded! I mean, outside my dreams." Twilight said. "I can't believe you're actually going through with it." Starlight said. "What do you mean?" Twilight asked. "I'm all for pushing the envelope, obviously, but this is pretty out there for you, Twilight." Starlight said. "What's "out there" about saving the most legendary ponies of all time from a thousands-year-old prison?" Sunburst asked. "Well... nothing when you say it like that. Unless "the most legendary ponies of all time" knew what they were doing, and we shouldn't mess with it." Starlight said. "I'm sure Star Swirl and the Pillars did the best they could back then, but magic has come a long way. Mostly because of the work they did." Sunburst said. "That's true. And you did get your wings from finishing one of Star Swirl's spells." Starlight said to Twilight. "Exactly." Twilight said. "But then I messed with one and nearly destroyed the universe, so..." Starlight said. "Well, more like the world. The universe is a bit of a stretch." Gohan said. "Starlight, Star Swirl the Bearded is the greatest wizard who ever lived. The chance to have him back in Equestria is worth the risk." Twilight said. "That's good news." Spike said. "Otherwise, ALL THIS STUFF WE BROUGHT... Would go straight to waste." Gohan said. "Yep! Let's do this!" Twilight said. The unicorns and alicorn blasted their magic into the book! The gem was formed again, and all the items flew into the sky. A flash of light, then a bunch of ponies and boulders fell from the sky! So Goten did freestyle ki blasts with his hands and feet to blast the boulders... Y'know, to save the ponies. And the rest of the Mane 6 caught the ponies before they fell to their doom. They were all standing. "What... What has happened...?" Star Swirl asked. "It worked! We brought you back!" Twilight said. "To where?" Star Swirl asked. "You and the others have been trapped in limbo for over a thousand years, but we figured out how to get you ho-" "What!?" Star Swirl interrupted Twilight. "No, no, no, no! You must undo what you've done!" He said. "What? Why? I mean, I don't think I can." Twilight said. "You cannot bring us back!" Star Swirl said. "But I did. I brought all the Pillars back." Twilight said. "Uh... Twilight? I don't think that was the only thing you brought back... Which is what I meant earlier." Gohan said. There was some smoke forming in the center... And it molded into the Pony of Shadows! Who cackled. "Oh no!" Twilight said. The Pony of Shadows cackled. "Your pitiful attempt to imprison me has failed, Star Swirl!" He said. Star Swirl tried blasting him, but had no magic to use. He was tapped out. "You must return us to limbo. It's the only way to stop him." Star Swirl said. "I only figured out how to bring you back." Twilight said. "Working on it! No table of contents!" Sunburst said, looking through the books. "Allow me to assist." The Pony of Shadows said. He sent spikes everywhere! Everyone managed to dodge. But the book... Was stabbed into a rune. He exploded them all! Now there was half a book. More like 56.7826%, but... "There! Without the power of Ponhenge, your banishing spell is useless!" The Pony of Shadows said. "Please, tell me you have any form of backup!" Star Swirl pleaded to Twilight. "I got just the guy!" Twilight said, pointing at Gohan. Gohan sighed... "Not on my watch!" He said, smashing his fist into his palm. "You can't! Monkeys don't possess magic!" Star Swirl said. ... "You know, Gohan is like, the one who defeated Nightmare Moon with us, Discord, Tirek, Frieza, and a number of other things." Rainbow Dash said. "Wait! I want a turn!" Goten said. "What?" Gohan asked. "Rock paper scissors?" Goten asked. "Fine." Gohan said. "I can't believe that the world is in danger and they're playing Rock Paper Scissors to see who gets to save it." Starlight said. "At this point, they don't even have to try." Applejack said. "I win!" Gohan said. "Aww!" Goten said, walking back. "Is a mere monkey planning to stop me!?" The Pony of Shadows asked. "This Saiyan/Human hybrid is GOING to stop you." Gohan said, facing him. "Don't make me laugh!" The Pony of Shadows yelled, firing black magic at Gohan. Gohan yelled as he uppercutted it into the sky! He wasn't done there, he aimed his palms at the Pony of Shadows and fired a powerful blast! He yelped. "This monkey... He can't be this strong...!" He said. "It's stronger than Star Swirl...!" He said. "Extraordinary! What form of magic is this!?" Star Swirl asked. "It isn't magic." Twilight said. "It's a little something called ki." Goten said. "Life energy? What tremendous life energy..." Star Swirl said, actually understanding it. "Tapped out? My turn." Gohan said, jumping at the Pony of Shadows. Oh damn. I mean, DAMN! "ATATATATATATATA!" And he was just getting the crap beaten out of him. Like... I feel bad. "H-How...!?" Star Swirl asked. Gohan ended his tiny yet enormous assault. "Had enough? Surrender, and you won't face death." He said. "Even in my weakened state... He managed to stop the might of Shadows..." The Pony of Shadows said, barely standing. "But I'm not done! Hrrragh!" He yelled, firing more black magic at Gohan. Gohan extended a palm and calmly fired a blue blast. It ripped through the black magic and got a direct hit on him! Made him backflip over, if you can believe that. "Know this, fiend! We will not rest until we find a way to return you to limbo!" Star Swirl said. "Or take you to the place you belong!" Goten said. "Where's that?" Star Swirl asked. "Hell." Gohan said. "Hell?" Star Swirl asked. "We'll talk later." Gohan said. The Pony of Shadows growled. "Never! Your days of glory are through, Star Swirl. Now my dark power will reign, and you six will bow to me!" He yelled, teleporting away. Rainbow Dash and the other Pegasus, Flash Magnus flew up to the sky. "Uh... Where'd he go?" Rainbow Dash asked. "He escaped. Darn. I guess you have a go at him next time, Goten." Gohan said. "That is a riddle we must unravel. And quickly." Somnambula, the Egyptian one said. "How long have we been gone?" Mage Meadowbrook asked. "Then my spell worked- BEFORE it was meddled with. And the realm has been at peace for a millennia!" Star Swirl said, giving Twilight the evil eye. Twilight hid under her wing in shame. "No it hasn't." Gohan said. "What do you mean?" Star Swirl asked. "Are you kidding? Enemies from not just this planet, but even space came here and threatened order!" Gohan said. "I mean, half the time this kid had to clean up the mess, BUUUT... There was Nightmare Moon, Discord, Chrysalis, King Sombra, Tirek, Frieza, everyone from hell, Janemba, Super Janemba, more, more, and I don't know what else on the other side!" Pinkie said. "You mean to tell me Discord and Lord Tirek were taken down by this creature!?" Star Swirl asked. "What are the names of these two creatures? They look quite adorable." Mage Meadowbrook said, squishing Goten's cheeks. "I'm Goten! And this is my big brother, Gohan!" Goten said, patting Gohan's shoulder. "We're Saiyan/Human hybrids." Gohan said. "Gohan and Goten... Have you ponies played a part with their crazed adventures?" Star Swirl asked. "Somewhat. I mean, a few times we ended up making it worse for them, but against Nightmare Moon... Yeah, I guess." Twilight said. "If you are truly this accomplished, we will stop the Pony of Shadows twice as fast together." Flash Magnus said. "Or with just us." Goten said. "We shall see. It is an easy thing to SAY you have saved the world. It is quite another to do it." Star Swirl said. "Pfft. Gohan's saved the world more than you can handle, Beardo!" Rainbow Dash said. "Eh... P-Please don't brag on my behalf..." Gohan said. "Galactic tyrant from space, practically his entire army, a weird monster in hell, a giant phantom Majin that was summoned again, and... Well, Discord. I mean, I don't want to list everything." Starlight said. "Be that as it may, the problem of locating the Pony of Shadows remains, and this land is vast." Star Swirl said. "I can't sense him either. So that's ruled out." Gohan said. "Oh. So... What do we do?" Twilight asked. "I got it. Travel every square inch of the land until we find him!" Goten said. "That would take a long time, even with everyone's speed! There's also the possibility he can just hide in a shadow?" Gohan said. "How long, exactly?" Star Swirl asked. "Approximately-" "-NO!" Rainbow Dash yelled. Gohan crossed his arms and pouted. *** "We have this map to use." Rarity said. Everyone was at the Castle of Friendship. At the Cutie map. "Something about this magic seems familiar..." Star Swirl said. Star Swirl used his magic and made the Harmony Tree appear on the map. Everyone was surprised and amazed. "Did you know he can do that?" Rarity asked. "He's Star Swirl! He can do anything! Well, almost anything." Twilight said. "This map, and indeed this very castle, are grown from the seed we planted over a thousand years ago." Star Swirl said. "Then it DID work!" Rockhoof said. "What worked?" Sunburst asked. "Each of us infused a crystal seed with our magic in hopes that it would grow into a force for good." Somnambula said. "We wanted to leave something to protect the realm in our absence, but we never dreamed our gift would become so powerful." Mistmane said. 'Powerful... Eheheheh!' Goku laughed. 'To them it is, dad.' Gohan said. "So the Elements of Harmony came from y'all?" Applejack asked. "That's pretty amazing. Such power just from one seed." Gohan said. 'Yeah, I know. I made two~!' Goku joked. 'What are you- Oh, you're sick!' Gohan said, understanding the vulgar joke. Goku was internally laughing. 'Don't worry! Heheh... You'll make one too! Hahahah!' He laughed. Gohan facepalmed out of nowhere. "Uh... Are you alright?" Mistmane asked. "Sorry, lamenting." Gohan said. "That doesn't sound very good." Twilight said. "My father." Gohan said. "Oh. Nevermind." Twilight said. They all knew of Goku's stupidity. Goku said so, anyway. "Anyway... What are these 'Elements' you speak of?" Star Swirl asked. "You know, the sparkly crystal things that grow from the Tree of Harmony and represent each of us? Laughter, honesty, generosity, loyalty, kindness, and magic!" Pinkie said, acting it all out with all the other ponies. "Then... What do I represent?" Gohan asked. "Uh... Strength?" Pinkie asked. "I really don't know." Twilight said. "What are you talking about?" Star Swirl asked. "They are reflections of our own elements of hope, strength, beauty, bravery, healing, and sorcery. Only six." Somnambula said. "Then how come I ended up being the seventh?" Gohan asked. "Perhaps your friendship with us sparked a new one?" Rarity asked. "I guess it could represent all but magic...?" Twilight asked. "I don't know. What do you think?" Gohan asked his brother. "I think it does!" Goten said. "I think we can all agree." Rarity said. The Mane 6 all promptly agreed. "Then that's settled, then..." Gohan said. "We had no idea our small seed would bloom into the living spirit of the land. I am glad our mantles have passed to such capable ponies." Made Meadowbrook said. Then she looked at Gohan. "Well, ponies and Saiyan/Human." She said, actually memorizing that. Goku was internally snickering. 'Dad...!' Gohan said. "More importantly, we no longer need Ponhenge to send our foe back to limbo. We can use the stored magic in this Tree of Harmony." Star Swirl said. "But doesn't a banishing spell take a lot of power? We'd have to sacrifice the Elements for that." Twilight said. Star Swirl nodded in response. "They'd be gone... Forever?" Fluttershy asked. "Star Swirl, I don't think the Tree can survive without the Elements. If it dies, Equestria will suffer." Twilight said. "If the Pony of Shadows has his way, your land will not exist. So unless you have a better idea..." Star Swirl said. "Uh, we do." Rainbow Dash said. Goten jumped up onto the table. "It's my turn next!" He said. "Oh, right. I forgot." Star Swirl said. "Our foe will seek dark places from which to draw power." He said. "Then... We need to find a place secluded in darkness." Gohan said. "It seems there are fewer dark corners in the realm these days." Star Swirl said, marking places on the map. "I know I studied on the geography of Equestria, but I can't really think of many dark places other than caves." Gohan sad. "I remember that there was a place really dark! It was right around the corner of Foal Mountain...?" Goten asked. "How are we going to find him? We don't have the time in the world to search every cave and find every dark place imaginable!" Sunburst said. Twilight pondered... And didn't realize her cutie mark was glowing. "Twilight? The thing is happening again." Gohan said, happening to be glowing yellow. The Mane 6 all looked at their cutie marks, and they were all glowing. The marks on all the seats flew up and circled Twilight's mark. Yes, including the kanji. They all floated to the Hollow Shades... Goten snapped his fingers. "That's where I was talking about!" He said. "The Hollow Shades. I think a branch of the Apple family lives there." Applejack said. "They'd have to be pretty distant. The Hollow Shades was abandoned eons ago." Sunburst said. "Hmm, that's odd. The only time the map's called all of us to one place was Starlight's village." Rarity said. "So it's like a super-villain tracker!" Rainbow Dash said, then realized Starlight was there. "No offense." She said. Starlight just raised an eyebrow. "The only other place the map sends me to is the other world." Gohan said. "I find that hilarious." Twilight said while giggling. "Do you think the map could be trying to tell us where the Pony of Shadows is?" She asked Star Swirl. "Well, obviously. Unless there's a pony there with a Friendship problem." Gohan said. "Hmm... The Tree of Harmony acting to protect the light of the realm... Yes. A good thought, Twilight." Star Swirl said. She squealed in response since she's a fan girl. "Ready yourselves for battle." Star Swirl said. "Already done!" Goten said. "Uh, I know I'm not as experienced as all of you, but is ending him really the only option? I mean, it's been a long time. Maybe the Pony of Shadows is ready to talk?" Starlight asked. "That's actually something I hadn't thought of. Maybe he's misunderstood." Gohan said. "I doubt we can save our homeland with a conversation." Star Swirl said. "Wouldn't be the first time..." Starlight said. "Starlight, I'm sure Star Swirl and the others did try." Twilight said. "The Pony of Shadows was not interested in reconciliation. Once a villain, always a villain." Star Swirl said. "Hey... That's not true!" Gohan said. "Whatever do you mean?" Star Swirl asked. "We know tons of evil people who are good now! Well, they're dead, but still good!" Goten said. "Like who?" Star Swirl asked. "Tienshinhan used to be a con artist and tried to kill our father, but they became friends and fought evil... Piccolo tried to rule the world, and tried protecting it until he died... Vegeta, or Trunks' dad tried blowing up the planet but then protected it until he died... Yadda yadda." Gohan said. "Then there's Discord, who doesn't use chaos on Equestria anymore." Twilight said. "I'm sorry, who are all these ponies? Except Discord, I know him." Star Swirl said. "Oh, it's our old friends." Goten said. "I see... I'm sorry for all your losses." Star Swirl said. "Thanks. But, I was saved! They tried so hard..." Goten said. "What do you mean?" Mage Meadowbrook asked. "That's a story for another day." Gohan said. "...You two are just raising more questions the more you speak." Star Swirl said. "That happens a lot." Gohan said. "It actually the more they do things rather than talk." Twilight said. "So... Did you know the Pony of Shadows before he became what he is now?" Starlight asked. "Yes, we did. Stygian was the name he abandoned before taking the form of which he is now." Star Swirl said. "Stygian was a pony like the rest of us, though more scholar than hero. He recognized our emerging world would need champions to defend it." Rockhoof said. "He may have gathered us together, but he himself was just an ordinary unicorn who soon grew jealous of our abilities." Flash Magnus said. "He stole objects from each of us. Artifacts to use in a spell." Mistmane said. "And we cast him out for it." Mage Meadowbrook said. "We always thought he'd return and seek forgiveness. But when we saw him again, his heart was bent on revenge. He dashed even MY hope of saving him." Somnombula said. "But why did he steal the artifacts from you?" Starlight asked. "No doubt it was an enchantment to take our powers for himself." Mage Meadowbrook said. "So, we can't talk the Pony of Shadows out of doing evil?" Starlight asked. "It is impossible." Star Swirl said. "But the map only calls us to locations for Friendship problems, not a villain locator." Starlight said. "In a sense." She added. "He wanted more power than he had, and that desire led him down a path from which there is no return! Evil!" Star Swirl said. "We just established that that isn't true." Gohan said. "But this case is different! He turned on us." Star Swirl said. 'Like I don't know THAT feeling.' Gohan thought. "Then... I guess it's decided." Twilight said. "Well, then. Let's go! Grab on!" Gohan said, putting two fingers to his forehead. "Er... How will we get there if we grab on to you?" Star Swirl asked. "Teleportation." Gohan said. "Oh, I see. But... How?" Star Swirl asked. "I know where the Hollow Shades are." Gohan said. "Oh. I see." Star Swirl said. "Do you even want to come?" Gohan asked. "We will spectate for our own reasons." Star Swirl said. *** Hollow Shades. Desolate, full of abandoned homes and dear God what is that view? "I don't remember reading anything that said the Hollow Shades was like this." Sunburst said. "Ohhh. The Pony of Shadows must have twisted it to his purposes." Mistmane said. They traveled inward. 'There's a power level below you.' Goku said. "You can sense that?" Gohan accidentally said out loud. "Sense what?" Twilight asked. "Oop. Sorry. Talking to myself." Gohan said. 'Uh... You might wanna move out of the way.' Goku said. The ground beneath them crumbled... Cracks appeared, and the shaking got louder. Then everyone fell! *** Well, lookie here! A labyrinth! Oh, and everyone helped each other up. "I definitely would've remembered reading about this." Sunburst said. Then evil laughter was heard. "That's your cue, Goten." Gohan said. Goten stepped up to the plate. Not literally, but you know. Smoke formed in front of them. More laughter... Star Swirl put up a barrier in retaliation. "Oh, no. Allow me." Gohan said. He just barely moved to create a yellow barrier. "Oh... Okay." Star Swirl said, putting down his flimsy defense. And the a small portion of the smoke turned into the Pony of Shadows. "Welcome to the Well of Shade! When you turned your backs on me, I discovered this place. The darkness spoke to me of a power beyond any I could imagine, and I listened. The shadow and I became one. Soon, all of the realm will be the same. Then all ponies will feel the despair I did when you cast me out!" He said. Then he looked at his challenger. "A baby monkey is now wanting to do battle with me? Hah!" He said. "We did what we had to do. You tried to steal our powers for yourself." Star Swirl said. "No! It was YOU who were selfish! And now you will pay!" The Pony of Shadows yelled, firing even more powerful black magic. Goten jumped up to kick it towards the wall. "You still won't beat me!" He yelled. He flew over to the Pony of Shadows to deliver a quick uppercut. "Argh! You will not leave here unscathed!" He yelled, firing black magic at Goten. A hit, I guess. Nothing serious. In the chest, sent him back a bit. Goten put his palms together and fired three blasts before landing. He then dashed at him alongside the ki blasts. The Pony of Shadows smirked before turning to smoke near the ki blasts. Well, a surprising technique. Goten stopped running in confusion. He couldn't sense him anywhere, and smoke was everywhere. Smoke attacks, or smoke that hardened smashed into Goten from behind! Goten retaliated by swinging his arm around, letting out a wave of yellow ki. It just made the smoke separate. Then the smoke behind him somewhat hardened and clubbed him in the back. Goten fired a ki blast in retaliation only to not hit him. "You're lost! You cannot hit what you cannot see!" The Pony of Shadows yelled. Goten could see a larger smoke traveling around the smaller smoke. Or, it basically traveled inside it. Goten fired a ki blast at it, to actually hit the Pony of Shadows out of his smoke form! "Argh! You pass... However! I won't be so lenient now!" The Pony of Shadows yelled as he turned to smoke. He did not have that bigger smoke weakness anymore. Again, more attacks on Goten from behind, and more misses from Goten. 'Wait... If he's tangible... Then...' He thought. "He is losing! I knew this was a terrible idea!" Star Swirl said. "That poor boy..." Mage Meadowbrook said. "Goten isn't losing." Gohan said. "What?" Star Swirl asked. "He'll adapt. Look now." Gohan said. Goten turned Super Saiyan! He let his aura flare continuously. "W-What is this!?" Star Swirl asked. "It's called a Super Saiyan." Gohan said. "It changes the mane and color of the mane! It also increases all abilities tens of times over!" Twilight said. "Amazing...!" Mage Meadowbrook said. "Beings who can alter their battle levels..." Star Swirl muttered. "It looks like he's figured out how to win." Gohan said with a smile. "Changing your mane won't help you!" The Pony of Shadows yelled. He made smoke behind Goten into a spike. It was about to stab him! But Goten roundhouse kicked that thing in half! "What!?" The Pony of Shadows yelled. "I can sense you now!" Goten yelled. The larger smoke traveled behind Goten. Goten did a backhand smack on the smoke, which instantly turned the Pony of Shadows visible again. "Ack! How!?" He yelled. "I can see you now..." Goten said. The Pony of Shadows turned to smoke again. He tried attacking with a club of sorts from behind. "BELIEVE IT!" Goten yelled, turning around and blasting that foolish fool! That foolish foolhardy foolish fool... Yeah, I got nothing. "Impressive... I can't perceive how he can see his attacks from behind." Star Swirl said. Goten just punched the Pony of Shadows in the side. "Neither can I." Twilight said. Goten dodged numerous swipes and magic attacks. "It's because of his aura." Gohan said. "What do you mean?" Twilight asked. Goten's aura flared as he pummeled the Pony of Shadows repeatedly. "Goten's releasing his ki in all directions. They reflect off of the Pony of Shadows. He can sense that, and act against it." Gohan said. Goten grabbed a blade from behind and threw it into the wall. "Oh. What an immensely useful skill." Star Swirl said. Goten blasted the Pony of Shadows away. "I thought I'd seen warriors in my day, but you two take the cake." Rockhoof said. Gohan just sheepishly chuckled. "RAAAAGH!" The Pony of Shadows screamed. Goten just stood in front of him with a saucy smirk. "Done yet?" He asked. "You deplorable little snot! I will end this RIGHT NOW!" He screamed. He started charging black magic in his horn... Since his rage was real, there was some extra power! "Oh, sure! I'll just let you power up and gather your strength." Goten said. "BIG MISTAKE!" The Pony of Shadows screamed. "What is he doing!?" Star Swirl asked. "Trust us, he is not in trouble." Rainbow Dash said. The Pony of Shadows fired the 'devastating' blast with all his might, and- ... Pfft... Goten casually lifted a hand and fired a powerful yellow beam. See, that's REAL power and devastation. The Pony of Shadows was quickly overpowered and shocked at this display of power. BOOM! He collapsed! "Did... Did that young man just defeat something we took ages to do?" Mistmane asked. "Hey, it's like with Nightmare Moon. It took 1000 years, and this one decides to step in, despite being incredibly wounded." Twilight said, pointing a hoof at Gohan. "Nightmare Moon...?" Star Swirl asked. "We'll talk later." Gohan said. The Pony of Shadows struggled to get up. "Give up!" Goten yelled, firing a barrage of ki blasts at him. "Augh! Urgh! Ah!" The Pony of Shadows grunted as he was being pushed back. And... Some blue hair stuck out of his chest. No... No... It started to turn into a head... Trying to get out? "There's... A pony in there!" Twilight said. Goten realized and stopped his assault. "What the heck...?" He said. The Pony of Shadows collapsed, but the head shrunk back in. "Uh... Gohan...? What do I do?" Goten asked. "Since there's a pony in there, we can't end him..." Gohan said. "That was Stygian. Of course you must end him!" Star Swirl said. "Hey, now. We can try reasoning with the source. The Pony of Shadows might be some darkness controlling him." Gohan said. "There can be no such thing!" Star Swirl said. 'I really thought this guy was the smartest...' Twilight thought. "No, there is. Princess Luna was once consumed by darkness, and now she's on our side!" Twilight said. "Luna... My old student..." Star Swirl reminisced. Gohan put down his barrier and walked closer to that collapsed enemy. "What was that pony...?" He asked as he tried poking it with his finger. To everyone's surprised, his finger just went through. "Er... Something must be inside...? Should I go in?" Gohan asked. "Eh. Try." Goten said. *** Well, this is a dark place. Extremely dark. 'Suddenly I'm getting a feeling of deja mustard.' Goku said. 'It's deja vu.' Gohan thought, feeling a presence nearby. "Hello?" He asked, making his aura flare as a Super Saiyan for light. There was a pony with brown rags. Sitting there, miserably. "Uh... Sir? Are you Stygian?" Gohan asked, getting closer. "I was, once. Until my friends betrayed me." Stygian said. He actually looked at Gohan. "Who are you?" He asked. "I'm Son Gohan. It looks like two stories aren't adding up... Star Swirl says that you betrayed him and his comrades for their magic." Gohan said. "No! I wanted their respect. I brought them together. I planned strategy, and I read all I could about the beasts we faced. But I didn't have magic or strength, so nopony ever noticed me. I went to Ponhenge to make my own copies of the artifacts. With them, I thought I could be a Pillar, too, and stand by their side in battle. I never wanted to steal their power. But instead of sharing and letting me help, my friends threw me out." Stygian said. The ponies and Saiyan outside were able to listen to that. "Are we still sure this isn't a friendship problem!?" Starlight asked. "I think it is." Twilight said. Stygian stood up, clearly angry. A dark flame began to envelop him. "So I became stronger than any of them! The darkness welcomed me when no pony would, and I will do what I must to protect it!" He yelled, looking incredibly threatening. He was pretty much a mini Pony of Shadows lacking the size and complete color. Gohan didn't budge an inch, though. "I'm really sorry to hear about your friends betraying you. Trust me, I've been there. If the Pillars knew how you felt, I'm sure they wouldn't have turned their backs on you. The shadow isn't who you really are. Darkness isn't the way, Stygian." Gohan said. Stygian looked a little remorseful... But... "Even if my friends did still care, what makes you think you have the power to help me?" Stygian retorted. ... Gohan just gave him an 'Are you serious right now?' Face. "So, getting beaten to near death isn't enough power in your opinion." He said. "How can you reverse my actions!?" Stygian asked. "That's a scientific impossibility. Time travel may be real, but what you do stays there. We can help you get back to normal again to reconcile." Gohan said. "I... I want to believe you..." Stygian said, actually trying. But... "But the darkness will not be stopped!" He screamed, suddenly growing black wings and whatnot. The real Pony of Shadows on the outside stood up, growing in size. Goten powered up and got into a fighting pose. "I'm going to disprove that!" Gohan and Goten yelled. He grabbed Stygian and tried flying him out. Gohan was out, but Stygian was kind of trapped. Goten ran up to Gohan and tried helping him. "Twilight...!" Gohan yelled. His hooves were sticking out, at least. The Pony of Shadows was screeching and yelling in pain because of this. "What am I supposed to do!?" Twilight asked. "~~Bitching!~~ Lecturing about Friendship!" Gohan yelled. "Oh. Right." Twilight said. "Fight the darkness, Stygian! You don't need it anymore! Revenge isn't what you want! Friendship is!" She said. "At this rate, we'll end up pulling your hooves off!" Gohan yelled. "Just give up the evil stuff already!" Goten yelled. "The shadow won't let go of him. He wants to stop, but he can't do it alone." Twilight said. "Then he needs our friendship!" Star Swirl said. "We won't betray you like we did before, Stygian!" He yelled. The Pony of Shadows recoiled. "We'll really listen, we will!" Rockhoof said. "But you must let go!" Mistmane said. "I REALLY do NOT want to pull off your hoof by trying as much as I can!" Gohan yelled. Stygian... Decided. BOOM! Out of this house! The power of Christ compels you! Stygian was out, the Pony of Shadows was shrinking and dying, and the job was done. Eventually that thing just shriveled up and died. Star Swirl helped Stygian stand up. "Long ago, you needed our help, Stygian. But instead of listening, we turned our backs on you. Pride clouded my judgment. I owe you an apology. Thank you for helping us see the errors of our ways, Twilight and Son Gohan. It seems I never accounted for Friendship." He said. Twilight started fangirling because her idol just complimented her. "Thank you, Swirlstar! Uh, Star Swirl!" She said. "...Thank you... All I ever wanted was that." Stygian said, smiling. Starlight cleared her throat. "Soooo... apparently a conversation CAN save Equestria?" She asked. "Starlight... That wasn't really a conversation. That was more like a choice between dying of infection and pain or living. I even heard his muscles stretch." Gohan said. *** Well, everyone was in the throne room now. I mean everyone. And base form Gohan and Goten. "I simply cannot believe how tall you've gotten!" Star Swirl said. "Well, it has been over a thousand years. Will you stay here and teach magic once again? My sister and I have such fond memories of your lessons." Celestia said. "As long as you don't ask for those essays we owed you before you disappeared." Luna said. Star Swirl chuckled. "I'm not certain Canterlot is where I belong. The realm has grown, and I believe I'll have a look around before I settle in any one place." He said. "And I long to see what has become of my home." Mage Meadowbrook said. "I believe we all do." Mistmane said. "...Huh. Wonder how my home's doing." Gohan said. *** Earth... ... WHERE THE FUCK IS EVERYONE!? THE FUCKING PLANET'S STILL THERE! THAT DAMN VILLAIN IS GONE! He'll come back... But why the hell is Earth still there? *** "Then I hope you will return to Canterlot on occasion and share the wisdom and power of your great experience with the next generation of ponies." Celestia said. "We would be honored. But if it is wisdom you seek, look no further than your own pupil. She showed me that the power of friendship is a magical force indeed. And that in turning away from others, you hurt yourself as well." Star Swirl said. "And, well, if it's strength you seek..." He added, pointing a hoof at the brothers. "I believe they have all the strength you need." He said. 'Well, at least he complimented me.' Gohan thought. "On more than one occasion." Celestia said. "Oh, no. Not this again..." Gohan said. "What?" Twilight asked playfully. "We did this, JUST THIS MORNING!" Gohan yelled. Author's Note Holy Dumb Fuck. This took an assload of a while to come out. I've just been studying my ass off. There's a lot more coming up in five years. I really want to get that done before the Grand not really finale but it'll look like it because it's gonna be among the hardest opponents yet. Sorry, you've all been very patient.
Battle Between a God and a Mortal Pt. 2The Other World... Quite some time before Beerus actually woke up. Apparently the Other World tournament is going on again. Guess who's in! Not Gohan! Hah! He's on the sidelines! Or, audience, really. Wearing the Piccolo gi. Who's in...? Its Goku. Oh, and Sunset's in the audience, too. You know, for support. Goku learned that he doesn't need the necklace in the Other World. Time essentially stops for him there, apparently. He still has that glimmer on him... And since the Other World tournament popped up... Goku entered! It was relatively the same as last time. The finals were happening. All the kais of the North Galaxy were watching. Except King Kai, he didn't have a deceased warrior for his quadrant. Whuh? Also he was too damn busy rebuilding his damn house for the tenth time. Anyway, to the fight! That's already started and nearing the end, it seems. Super Saiyan Goku versus Pikkon without weights! Again! "Hragh!" Goku yelled, throwing a punch at Pikkon. Pikkon blocked and kicked Goku away! Goku put two fingers to his head and used Instant Transmission to teleport behind Pikkon! He blasted him away! Pikkon used his momentum to glide in the air. He swung around and came flying at Goku! Goku seemingly vanished into thin air. But actually, he was behind Pikkon! He delivered a chop right down at him! But then Pikkon seemingly disappeared! He appeared in front of Goku and threw a punch! Goku disappeared and appeared above Pikkon! He actually kicked Pikkon down to the ground! But Pikkon wasn't done. As he smashed onto the tile, he cracked it. But he instantly moved, wasting no time. He flew around again, charging at Goku again. He had flames engulfing him, too. "Not this time! Hiya!" Goku yelled, turning into a Super Saiyan 2. His aura only flared for a brief moment before instantly dying out. "What?" Pikkon asked, before he was punched right in the face. "All right dad!" Gohan cheered. "Go Goku!" Sunset cheered, throwing a fist in the air. The flames died out instantly, and Pikkon was sent flying. Goku put two fingers to his head and teleported behind Pikkon. He kicked him upwards! Goku then teleported above Pikkon to perform a double axe handle on him, smashing him downwards. Goku teleported to where Pikkon would be before he'd hit the ground, and cupped his hands together. "You're finished! Kamehameha!" He screamed, unleashing the devastating blast on Pikkon. The blast was ended before it could reach the spectators, but it was very clearly that it was massive. It created winds that could be felt at the check in station. The light itself was blinding. So everyone blocked their eyesight to prevent blindness. The blast finally died down. The smoke died down. Pikkon was out of bounds! The suited mushroom man stepped to where Pikkon laid. "Out of bounds! The winner of the Other World Martial Arts Tournament is Son Goku!" He proclaimed. The audience cheered. Goku smiled and reverted back into base form. "Phew!" He said. Gohan and Sunset jumped out of the crowds. They flew over to Goku. "Nice job, dad!" Gohan said. "Thanks, buddy! I still got it in me!" Goku said, punching his chest a few times. "Congratulations, Goku." Sunset said, being in her first movie outfit for some reason. "Thanks!" Goku said. Pikkon got himself up. He walked up to Goku with a smile. "Amazing, Goku. You never cease to amaze me." He said. He held a hand out. Goku shook his hand. "You've gotten a lot stronger, I'm impressed!" He said. "Good effort, Pikkon." Gohan said. "Oh, thanks. Who are you?" Pikkon asked. Gohan got confused. "I-I'm Gohan, don't you remember?" He asked. "Sorry, no." Pikkon said. "Uh... Huh. Okay." Gohan said. He was genuinely confused. "And now..." The mushroom man announcer said. He held a silver trophy with white ribbons on the double handles. "The trophy for the champion!" He said. The audience all cheered. Goku took the trophy. "Thanks!" He said. *** The three were now in some sort of flower garden. "You want to meet Piccolo?" Goku asked. "Well, more specifically, I'd like her to meet him." Gohan said. "Alright, I'll just be here." Goku said. "You don't want to meet him?" Sunset asked. "It's not that, it's... Well, a little... Uh... Nevermind, just go." Goku said. Was he acting strange...? "Uh... Okay... I can't sense Piccolo at all, though. That's weird." Gohan said. "Then how will we find him?" Sunset asked. "I can't find him either. Is he even here?" Goku asked. "I don't know... I can't even sense Tien or Yamcha. Or Krillin." Gohan said. "If they're not here, I don't think we should go on a witch hunt." Sunset said. "I don't know what that is." Goku said. "It's hunting for something that probably isn't there." Gohan said. "Ohh, yeah. I think so too." Goku said. "Should we head home?" Gohan asked. "Back into the necklace I go..." Goku said, saddened. "Do you want to?" Gohan asked. "I do, it's just a blank space in there. It's boring!" Goku said. "But I can be with my sons, so it's all good." He added. "Okay, you sure you don't want to stay?" Gohan asked. "I'm sure!" Goku said. With that, Goku was sucked into the necklace. *** We're at sundown in front of the portal. "Thanks for taking me to watch. It was fun watching your dad beat the bejesus out of everyone." Sunset joked. "Yeah, hah!" Gohan laughed. But Sunset noticed something different. Something... Off, about Gohan. He... "Did you grow an inch?" Sunset asked. "Huh?" Gohan asked. Now that he was comparing himself to Sunset... "You were down to my neck before the Other World Tournament... Now you're up to my mouth?" Sunset asked. "I grew...? I grew! YES!" Gohan cheered. He jumped up. "Finally, it's been three years and I'm getting that growth spurt, yeah!" He cheered. 'All right! I wonder if you'll be taller than your old man.' Goku said. Sunset smiled. 'Well, he'll finally look like the man of the relationship... Soon, I guess.' She thought. Gohan finally stopped cheering for himself. He landed on the ground, finally. "Okay, bye Sunset! I have to tell Goten!" He said. "Wait. You're forgetting something." Sunset said with a smirk. "Oh! Right, right." Gohan said. He walked up to Sunset and got on his tippy toes. You know, because he's a tiny fucking boy. (I know Dragon Ball has been inconsistent in heights but daaamn. Saiyan Saga Gohan is nearly the same as Krillin, and Cell Games is the exact same as Krillin. Can someone kill me?) And then... Well, I don't need to spell it out for you, they kissed. Blushing, all of it. Goku whistled, but made sure nobody heard it. And nobody did hear it. And after all this damn text, the kiss broke. "See you later..." Sunset said. "O-Okay..." Gohan said. Sunset turned around and started to walk away. Then Gohan went his other way into the portal limbo. Which was a bunch of rainbows turned into what you see while time traveling. 'Man, I wish I could see Chi Chi again.' Goku said. 'You and me both, I really miss her.' Gohan said. 'She'd always try to do what you two just did with me.' Goku said. 'Kissing?' Gohan asked. 'Yeah, that.' Goku said. Then the two finally made it to pony Equestria. Where a certain excited Princess Twilight was waiting. "There you are! I have big news!" She said. "Uh... What's the news?" Gohan asked. "Two things. One, Princess Celestia's birthday is tomorrow!" Twilight said. "Oh, cool!" Gohan said. "We're invited to her party tomorrow!" Twilight said. "What's the second thing?" Gohan asked. "It's..." Twilight said. Author's Note Cliffhanger! So... "Where the fuck have you been!? You asshole, taking a whole fucking month to post. You dick!" Is probably what you're saying. It took me a month to get a shitty 1,200 word chapter out, so I don't blame you. And it's going to take me another month to get the next one out too! HAHAHAHA- Okay, on a serious note, I'll try for next week and I'll be posting a lot (75% chance) in a week or two. But I've made a few edits to the beginning of the story, and I'd like you to check that out. I'm not done with them yet, but I made a few heavy ones. If it says (Edited), it's mainly grammatical errors, some rushed bits and not so much plot. It's it's (Heavily Edited), that means I either changed up the plot or I fixed a lot more of my rushed laziness (Discord). If there's nothing, then it's either I barely did anything or nothing. I'd like to see some feedback on those. All right, have a good day. I'll be back to doing this a lot then fucking up on posting for a while after a month of that.
Battle Between a God and a Mortal Pt. 3"...Saved for tomorrow!" Twilight said. ... "Couldn't you just tell me it tomorrow instead of now? I'm excited now." Gohan said. "Nope!" Twilight said. "Then what was the point of announcing it to me now!?" Gohan asked. "Suspense!" Twilight said. "Wh-... Ugh... Alright, let's see it tomorrow." Gohan said, defeated. "What happened over there?" Twilight asked. "I took Sunset to see my dad participate in the Other World Tournament." Gohan said. "Don't you mean 'Sunny?'" Twilight asked with a smirk. "That was out of rage, and- How did you know?" Gohan asked. "I have a journal with Sunset too, you know." Twilight said. "Oh." Gohan responded. "I recommend you call her that, she actually wants you to do it." Twilight said. "Oh. Thanks..." Gohan said. He's kinda contemplating his life choices because he's getting dating advice from a unicorn and an alicorn princess. "Did Goku win?" Twilight asked. "He won, unsurprisingly." Gohan said. "Congratulations, Goku!" Twilight said, poking her hoof at the necklace. 'Stop it! You're shaking this void of a place! Ah!' Goku said. "He wants you to stop, the place is shaking for him." Gohan said. "Sorry." Twilight said. "...Can you at least give me a hint?" Gohan asked. *** As you can guess, Twilight did not give him a hint. So he left the castle in defeat and excitement. Twilight promised it would be huge. So... Anyway. Gohan approached his shared home to see- "What the...!?" He asked. Goten and the Cutie Mark Crusaders... Well, in short, the CMC were trying to hit Goten with the enchanted and heavy sword. So the three of them kept throwing the sword at Goten, who kept dodging. They were having fun, as if playing fucking tag with it. Well, Gohan couldn't obviously see it that way after this. The trio weakly threw the sword at Goten with their hooves while laughing. Goten punched the sword playfully back at the trio. ...But then realized how much of a grave mistake that was. And so did our innocent, powerless trio that stood completely still because they're petrified. The sword was pretty much spinning back at them. Gohan instantly appeared to the side of the sword and uppercutted it. It spun upwards as it flew upwards. He then flew behind it to grab it. "What are you doing!?" He yelled. "Uh..." Was all the four could say. Gohan flew down to the ground. "You could've gotten seriously hurt!" He said. "I-I'm sorry..." Goten said, looking down at the ground. "Why did you even use my sword? Why were you throwing it around, you could've cut yourselves!" Gohan said. "We're sorry." The trio said, looking sad. Gohan felt like a parent here, scolding children. "It's fine, please don't do it again..." He said. 'Tell him that his dad won the tournament!' Goku said. 'Not now.' Gohan said. "Hey, can we use it tomorrow?" Goten asked. "Wha- No!" Gohan said. "It's fun! We'll just use the... What's that again?" Scootaloo asked. "The holder?" Applebloom asked. "The sheath." Sweetie Belle said. "Right, the sheath!" Scootaloo said. Gohan sighed. "I promise that we won't throw it around like that, they'll just try to slash at me like they did before!" Goten said, as if that was completely normal. 'I really wish Piccolo was here for this...' Gohan thought. "Goten, we're going to Princess Celestia's birthday party tomorrow, so you won't be able to play with them..." Gohan said. "We're comin'!" Applebloom said. "We're plus ones again!" Sweetie Belle said. Oh god, nonononononono- "We're plus ones~! We're plus ones~!" Damn it. Gohan couldn't help but smile at that. "Ooh! Let me try! We're plus ones~!" Goten sang. 'Is he even a plus one...?' Gohan thought to himself. 'Where's my plus one, come on!' Goku joked. Gohan chuckled. "You can bring the sword, just don't play with it in a public place." He said. "YAY!" The four said, giggling and chatting afterwards. 'Wow! I don't remember having that much fun as a kid. Wait, I know Chi Chi and I had a really fun date... We fought the entire time! It was awesome!' Goku said. '...I heard you tried to punch her and you put a huge hole in a tree.' Gohan said. 'Eh. She liked it, so it's good.' Goku said. "All right, y'all. I'm heading home! I think AJ's gonna get all excited again." Applebloom said. "You're telling me, my sister does all the dresses." Sweetie Belle said. "Rainbow Dash doesn't do that, she's too cool for that!" Scootaloo said. "Don't you live with your aunt?" Applebloom asked. "Well, I'm staying at Rainbow Dash's." Scootaloo said. "Ohh." Everyone but Gohan said. "Okay, bye!" Goten said. And with that, our trio walked away. ... "So..." Gohan said. "Yeah?" Goten asked. "I grew a little bit." Gohan said. "Really!? I haven't been able to grow at all!" Goten said. "Same here, until today." Gohan said. 'Come on, tell him already!' Goku said. "Oh, dad won the tournament, Goten." Gohan said. "Really? Cool! Dad, you're so cool!" Goten said. 'I'm not just cool, I'm really strong, too!' Goku said. Goten didn't hear that. "Now I feel bad for playing with them instead of going with you." He said. "It's all right, Sunset wanted it to be just us, anyway." Gohan said. "Oh, okay! I know how you're a pushover when it comes to that, so it's good!" Goten said. "What?" Gohan asked. "Oh, right, Nevermind." He said. He IS pretty much a pushover. At least Sunset isn't making him do some- Let's not get into that. "Anyway, we should prepare for tomorrow. It's going to be a great day!" Gohan said. ... Beerus is coming for that Super Saiyan God. "Okay! But first, you're forgetting something!" Goten said. "What?" Gohan asked. ... Goten threw a punch at Gohan's chest! Knocking him back a few feet. "Ow! So you wanna train again!?" Gohan asked. "Fighting is so much fun!" Goten said, turning Super Saiyan. ... Gohan dropped his sword. "All right." He said, cracking his neck. "Let's go!" He said. *** "Are you sure this is gonna work, Twilight?" Spike asked. They were in the library. "Don't judge me, I know what I'm doing!" Twilight said. "If my calculations are correct, this potted plant's power level is a mere 0.00092!" She said. "...And WHY did we need to do that math?" Spike asked. "This!" Twilight said, using her magic to choke the life out of the plant. Spike jumped back in surprise. "What the heck!? Twilight, I think this studying got to you!" Spike said. The plant turned into a tiny black shrub. It's dead. Why did Twilight kill it...? You'll find out on the next episode of Dragon Ball GT- Wait a minute... ~~Sorry, I meant to say shitty story that takes a week to post a thousand word chapter.~~ Author's Note Short chapter, I know. But next chapter will be good, and hopefully up by tomorrow! It's going to be a bit surprising...
Battle Between a God and a Mortal Pt. 4Everyone, excluding Pinkie were at Rarity's boutique. The dresses are done! ...They're the exact same as the last Gala dresses. ... "Rarity...? I think you made the same dresses as last time." Twilight said, inspecting her dress. "Yeah, uh... They're the freaking same!" Rainbow Dash said. "Nonsense!" Rarity said. 'Did Rarity lose her... Oh, no... Not again!' Spike thought. "In fact..." Rarity said, pulling a curtain aside, revealing... ...The dresses she made last time. "These are the dresses I- Oh." She said, realizing her blunder. The dresses... Were the fucking same... "Did you do the same for Pinkie...?" Gohan asked, in his formal wear and Super Saiyan form. "I'm afraid so... And she's already in Canterlot, preparing for the party..." Rarity said. "You look really tired." Goten said, wearing his formal wear. He also had the sword strapped to his back because, well, you already know. Actually, Rarity did have a bag under each eye. "I really am..." Rarity said, putting a hoof to her forehead. "Where are my senzu beans when someone else needs them...?" Gohan asked himself. "Ooh! Ooh! Can I get them?" Goten asked. "I don't see why not." Gohan said. "Let's time it!" Applebloom said. "Okay! Starting now!" Goten said, before darting away instantly. Welp, he was gone. "One! Two! Three!" The Crusaders counted. Aaaand he's back. "Right here!" Goten said, holding the senzu beans. He pulled one out, and Rarity used her magic to grab it. ... Well, she ate it, and now she's not tired. "Thank you. However- I don't think there's much time before our train..." Rarity said. "Then we gotta go!" Sweetie Belle said. 'D...Did they forget you have Instant Transmission...?' Goku asked. 'I'm 100% sure they did.' Gohan said. 'You know, I actually tend to forget about it too...' Goku said. 'You mean like when Frieza came to Earth...?' Gohan asked. 'No, I knew Trunks was there.' Goku said. 'So you're talking about up on the Lookout?' Gohan asked. 'Yeah! Before we went into the Hypersonic Lion Tamer!' Goku said. Gohan mentally groaned. Well, to put it short... *** Up on Kami's Lookout... "You gotta save him!" An Android Saga Gohan said to Goku. "But I can't get him in time!" Goku said. "There's no way I can move fast enough to grab him, get out, and..." He said, realizing he had Instant Transmission. He popped away. "Did... He just remember he can do that...?" Gohan asked. "Your father's an idiot." Mr. Popo said. "No need for silver lining there." Gohan said. *** On the train... Well, everyone except our children (except Gohan) were quiet. Gohan was holding his and Goten's presents, and everyone else was holding their respective presents. Except the Crusaders, their sisters and sisterly figure held those. Anyway... Oh my gosh, was it a nightmare. Here are a few examples... The Crusaders were chasing Goten with the sword...'s sheath. Gohan was just holding onto it until they'd finish. Too bad there were other passengers. "Try to catch me!" Goten said. "Throw!" Applebloom yelled. The trio used their hooves to hurl the sheath at Goten. Goten just darted to the ceiling and clung onto it like Spider-Man. The sheath flew down the aisle. "Hah! You missed! You get three points!" Goten said, holding up three fingers. "We lose!" Scootaloo said happily. This is one weird game. The sheath landed, and the Crusaders grabbed it again. This time, they aimed at Goten at the ceiling. "Round 2!" Sweetie Belle said. Then they hurled it again. Goten hurled nothing at the sheath, but the winds sent it flying another way. ...Bad idea. It aimed at another passenger, a stallion unicorn. He had a tan body with a brown mane. He had a book for a cutie mark. He had blue eyes. He was napping. Well, the sheath hit him right in the side of the head. "Ow! The heck!?" He yelled, rubbing that part of his head. Then our children had scared looks instead of smiles. "Uh oh." Goten said. 'Oh boy.' Goku said. 'I should've never even brought this thing.' Gohan thought. "Who's this belong to, huh!?" The stallion asked, using his yellow magic to pick it up. Goten got off the ceiling and stepped in front of the stallion. "I'm sorry, it's mine. I didn't mean to hit you with it." He said, bowing. He then looked up at the unicorn with puppy dog eyes. He looked a little too cute to scold, so... "Ah, that's okay. Just don't do it again, alright?" The unicorn said. "Y-Yes sir." Goten said. "Here you go." He said, giving it back to Goten. "Maybe you should stop with the sheath, Goten." Gohan said. "Aww!" The four whined. *** The next one is the last one. Our four were playing patty cake... The three fillies were trying to see if they could go faster than Goten all together. So Goten was patting six hooves. "Patty cake, party cake, baker's man!" They sang. And Goten decided to get a little flashy, courtesy of Trunks. "Bake me a cake as fast as you CAN!" They sang. But Goten yelled 'can.' And at that moment, he did a swipe pat! ...Or slap. That wasn't a good idea, because, well, the Crusaders were all slapped away. They spun around because he hit their hooves. So there was all the- "Whoaaaa!" "Uh oh." Goten said. Gohan had an awkward smile as he stood up. He walked over to our spinning trio and stopped them each with a finger. "Let's stop playing for now, alright?" Gohan asked. Their eyes were spinning for a few moments. Until they shook their heads. Their manes were kinda screwed up. So, as you would expect, Rarity and Applejack gasped. "Y'all need to recomb your mane!" Applejack said. "You mean comb their names again? 'Recomb' isn't a word, Applejack." Rarity said. "Last I checked, we already had two dictionaries, Rarity." Rainbow Dash said. "Hey!" Gohan and Twilight said. "That doesn't change the fact that they need it. Luckily, I brought my spare brush." Rarity said, pulling a brush out of her luggage. "Don't do mine, it's fine this way!" Scootaloo said. "Absolutely not!" Rarity said. "Eh, she doesn't want it Rarity. Let her keep it." Rainbow Dash said. "Yay!" Scootaloo said. "Well, you two have fun while we get endlessly nagged by Rarity..." Sweetie Belle said. "Excuse me?" Rarity asked. The two other fillies had to get the brushing done. "So what do you wanna do?" Goten asked. "Ooh! Let's do the other one!" Scootaloo said. "But I can't, remember...?" Goten asked. "Don't worry, I doubt it'll happen again." Scootaloo said. "If you think so... Okay!" Goten said. They were pretty much doing patty cake again, but it went like this. "Down by the shores of the hanky panky where the bullfrogs leap from bank to banky-" Then Goten instinctively smacked Scootaloo away. He didn't want to, but that's the problem- It's uncontrollable. Like a reflex. Scootaloo was kinda hit away, like flying, almost. Goten gasped, realizing he should've persisted. Gohan acted instantly by catching her before she smashed into the seat. "...I think that's enough playing for now, huh?" He asked. "What?" Goten and the Crusaders whined. "This is very dangerous, on a train, no less." Gohan said. "And we've bothered a stranger already." Twilight said. "I'm surprised I'm not joining in on the playing." Spike said. "We're done." Gohan said, setting Scootaloo down. So they had to just sit down and do nothing for the rest of the ride. *** Celestia was in her bedroom, constantly walking around. "What is this feeling...? Has Beerus the Destroyer awoken...?" She asked herself. Luna also came into the room. "Sister, you know as well as I that Lord Beerus..." She said. "Yes..." Celestia said. "He doesn't dare come here today... Right?" Luna asked, hoping. "I hope not..." Celestia said. "Oh, and Pinkie Pie has finished decorating every room. She has plenty of surprises for you, too." Luna said with a smile. "I'm expecting the best." Celestia said with a smile. But that feeling won't go away... For the both of them. Author's Note Ugh, this was just filler. I can promise that some shit will go down in two more chapters. Or the next one, I don't know. And that'll take another MONTH! HAHAHAHAHA- Okay, but really, I'm trying for as soon as possible. It won't be another month-long hiatus again, lol.
Battle Between a God and a Mortal Pt. 5Our group got off the train. "You brought your dad, right?" Twilight asked for the nine thousand and first time. "For the last time, yes, I did, Twilight." Gohan said. 'Why does she keep asking? It's worse than Bulma at this point!' Goku said. 'They're nerds like me, so expect it...' Gohan thought. Our group grabbed their tickets, inserted them into the magic ticket machine, and now they're in Canterlot. (For those who don't know- Also, skip this if you don't want a lesson on trains. This is my other hobby. I live in a country where the ticketing system is different than some parts of America. The LIRR in New York has a conductor to take the tickets. My country uses a machine to take the ticket and let you through. It's kind of like a subway, but with tickets instead of MetroCards. What's bullshit here, is that you have to pay just to fucking sit down! Wot!?) "I can smell the rich air already." Gohan said. "What does that mean?" Applejack asked. "Two things. The air here is less polluted than that of Ponyville, for some reason. This city uses more industrial technology, I don't know how-" "Enough, nerd." Rainbow Dash interrupted. "Can't I just explain this?" Gohan asked. "No!" Rainbow Dash said. "That's not very nice." Fluttershy said. "Nah, its fine. Sunset does it to me, too. It's kind of fun annoying her, because I get to see- Okay, I'm getting way off track." Gohan said. "Aw..." Twilight said, wanting to hear it. "Let's get going! I don't wanna be late!" Goten said, slowly running towards the castle. The Crusaders followed him while giggling. "For some reason, it feels like Gohan is an adult..." Rarity said. "I feel the exact same way." Gohan said. *** "You wanna know how super duper amazing awesome funtastic the party is!?!?1?" Pinkie asked, in front of a curtain. Celestia was waiting. "Yes, though... Why did you say 1?" She asked. "Here it is!" Pinkie said, punching the curtains aside. Holy fucking shit. It's a mess! I-I mean, it's amazing! There's so many games, enough food to feed half a civilization (guess who's that for.), the finest musicians in Canterlot, along with the most badass DJ for later (guess who.), and so much more, jeez. The musicians, who played mostly violin, (Octavia) began playing Mozart Symphony 4. The DJ, Vinyl Scratch, was just sitting around, waiting to do her part. Pinkie went as far as to make a whole fucking Crystal statue of Celestia. Balloons and confetti flew everywhere, you can't go five feet without another one getting in your sight. Oh, and don't forget the gift table. ...Which Pinkie gave plenty of. Oh, and cake. CAKE THAT WAS SO FUCKING LARGE THAT IT HAD 9001 CANDLES ON IT TO SHOW HOW OLD CELESTIA IS! ...Sorry. But there was a giant cake. "T-This..." Celestia stammered. "It's a party, right!? OOH! I have to get my dress!" Pinkie said, darting away. Celestia just admired the scene... ... "I-Its perfect..." She muttered. The rest of our cast came into the giant room. "Wow!" Gohan said. "Did Pinkie do all this?" Twilight asked. "Whoa..." Applejack said. Then Pinkie appeared beside our group. Wearing her dress. "Hey!" She said. "Did... Did you just appear out of nowhere?" Gohan asked. "Yep! It's a magic trick! Yay!" Pinkie said, throwing confetti everywhere. "Put your gifts on that table! Do it, do it, do it!" She said. So our group did that. Adding to the already monstrous pile. Celestia finally managed to compose herself under these conditions... She walked down to our cast. "Welcome, my little ponies." She said. They all bowed at her presence. "There is no need." Celestia said, giggling. "Happy Birthday!" Everyone said. Pinkie decided to throw extra confetti. Goten threw a yellow ki blast and made it explode into tiny sparkles. Celestia was flattered. "Thank you. That was lovely. Well, our other guests should be arriving soon." She said. Luna came into the room. "You all came on time. Perfect." She said with a smile. "Hey, Princess Luna." Gohan said. "Wowee! We're in front of TWO princesses!" Scootaloo said to her fellow comrades. ~~"Idi nahui! Cyka blyat!" Applebloom said.~~ ~~"Debil!" Sweetie Belle yelled, pointing at Applebloom.~~ ~~"Vrod blyat!" Scootaloo said.~~ Sorry, had to get my inner Russian out of me. "This is amazing...!" Applebloom said. "Why don't you all take part in this glorious celebration?" Celestia asked. "Okay! Goten, food race?" Gohan asked. "No need to tell me twice! 123 GO!" Goten said. And like that, our two Saiyans were wolfing down everything at the food table. The ponies and dragon laughed. Then Celestia noticed the sword on Goten. "Why does he have a weapon...?" She asked. "Oh, Goten and our little troublemakers here wanted to play with it on the train." Rainbow Dash said. "More specifically, the sheath." Twilight said. "Oh... I see." Celestia said. "Hey!" A familiar voice came from behind. It was Shining Armor, carrying Flurry Heart. Cadence was there, too, carrying gifts. "I hope we're not too late." Shining Armor said. "Shining Armor!" Twilight said, running up to hug her big brother. "Cadence!" She said, performing a ritual dance with her... It's too cancerous for me to want to show you. "Leap frog, leap frog, Great Barrier Reef! Or-" Okay I'm done. Then Twilight turned her attention to Flurry Heart. ...Gohan was already holding her. He... Left the food table to do that. Goten was still wolfing food down. "She's gotten bigger!" Gohan said. "I know!" Shining Armor and Cadence said. "Where's Sunburst?" Twilight asked. "He's with Starlight Glimmer, doing some sort of testing. He said that it was more important..." Shining Armor said. "Oh, right." Twilight said. "That's quite all right." Celestia said. Gohan let Flurry Heart suck on his finger. "Aw... Who's Godfather Gohan's powerful little alicorn?" He asked, trying to act maternal. Then Flurry Heart looked like she was about to sneeze. "It's you! Yes it is, it's y-" Gohan said, before Flurry sneezed a fucking Broly blast to his face. His face was blackened. The ponies and dragon were shocked. ... Flurry Heart just laughed like a little baby. "...You know, if I wasn't a Super Saiyan, I might've been able to feel that." Gohan said. "I also should've known that this should happen because her power level was high." He added. "We have to perform Sunburst's spell for a moment, sorry..." Cadence said, taking her baby with her magic. Gohan wiped his face clean. Celestia was already having fun. The next guests were her nephew and a bunch of snobs in the city. But... Then the feeling of Beerus came back to her. 'I need to clear my head of this...' She thought. "Will you all excuse me...?" She asked, walking away. "She looks concerned." Gohan said. "Yes, she is." Luna said. "About what?" Twilight asked. "ON HER BIRTHDAY!?!?1? We have to fix this!" Pinkie said. "I'm afraid that is to be kept a secret." Luna said. Gohan and Twilight looked to each other in concern, but they shrugged. Eventually, the room was packed with ponies nobody knew. Celestia was in a separate room, walking in circles. "Why am I having these feelings...?" She asked herself. 'He isn't coming here again...' She thought. She stood still. 'He doesn't even have a reason to be here.' She thought. "Hello, Princess..." A very familiar voice came from behind. '...It's Lord Beerus.' Celestia thought. She turned around in surprise to see Whis and Beerus. "L-Lord Beerus..." She said fearfully. "Long time no see." Beerus said casually. Author's Note Okay, so NEXT chapter, shit will go down. I actually got a chapter done in a day, holy shit.
Battle Between a God and a Mortal Pt. 6"L-Lord Beerus!" Celestia said, bowing down to her superior... "No need for that, you can stand normally." Beerus said. So Celestia stood up. "T-To what do I owe this unexpected visit...?" She asked. "Oh, I just wanted to drop in, maybe build a summer house and- What the heck do you think I'm here for?" Beerus asked. "Er... My birthday party...?" Celestia asked. "No! Although, I must say, happy birthday." Beerus said. "Happy Birthday to you, Princess." Whis said. "Food?" Celestia asked. "Unless you stepped up from hay sandwiches, I'm not eating a thing. You're lucky the bearded one created a delectable fruit salad." Beerus said. "We have advanced very far..." Celestia said. "Really? I'll have to try it out. Anyway, I'm here for something called a 'Super Saiyan God.' Know anything about it?" Beerus asked. "Super Saiyan God? I know what a Super Saiyan is, but I've never heard of a Super Saiyan God..." Celestia said. "Oh well. We want to meet... Whis, who was it again?" Beerus asked. "Son Gohan." Whis said. "Yeah, Son Gohan." Beerus said. "Er... He's in that room, celebrating..." Celestia said. "Could he be the one with the highest power level? I can feel it's heavily suppressed." Beerus said. "I suppose so... There are festivities going on in there." Celestia said. "Well, Whis, we have a party to crash." Beerus said. *** Gohan was back at it, eating down the food with Goten. The rest of our gang were doing other things. Twilight talking to Cadence, Shining Armor holding Flurry Heart, Pinkie and Rainbow Dash playing darts, Fluttershy and Rarity chatting, the Crusaders and Spike all playing tag at this time, and Applejack drinking cider. Other ponies were conversing, and Blueblood was nowhere to be seen. Celestia and our guests came into the room, and Luna instantly noticed. 'This does not bode well...' She thought. She walked up to the three. "Lord Beerus, we are honored that you have returned..." Luna said. "Yeah, yeah. Anyway, it seems you've lost any desire to dethrone your sister..." Beerus said. "There is no reason to anymore." Luna said. "Wait, what are you talking about?" Celestia asked. "Introduce me to everyone already." Beerus said. Celestia cleared her throat. "Everyone." She called. Everyone in the room looked to her. "I am proud to say that we have two extraordinary guests. Lord Beerus and his attendant Whis." Celestia called. "Hello everyone." Beerus said. "Pleasure to meet you all." Whis said. 'Whoa... Who's the cat?' Goku asked. 'I can't sense their energies at all...' Gohan thought. There was slow clapping then everyone clapped. Then it stopped. "I'm looking for the one named Son Gohan." Beerus called. 'M-Me!?' Gohan thought. "Everyone else can return to whatever they're doing, I really don't care." Beerus said. So that's what they did. Gohan got up to greet Beerus. "Hello, Lord Beerus." He said. "Hello. Wow, you're small." Beerus said. "Well, I'm just a kid." Gohan said. "Okay. I'm looking for something called a Super Saiyan God... Heard of it?" Beerus asked. "I... Don't know about it, sorry. I'm currently a Super Saiyan, though." Gohan said. "Let me ask my dad." He added. "Wait, Whis, didn't you say he was-" Beerus said, before Gohan responded again. "Nope, he doesn't know either." He said. "Well, Lord Beerus, it appears that your Super Saiyan God turned out to be wrong." Whis said. "I never get such things wrong!" Beerus said. "Replace never with always." Whis said. Beerus groaned. "Anyway, Whis here tells me that you slayed that bastard Frieza..." Beerus said. "Uh... Y-Yes sir." Gohan said. Beerus started inspecting Gohan's shorter body. "My dad beat him the first time." Gohan said. Beerus ended his examination. "It doesn't seem like you can beat him as you are... But I understand that you are suppressing yourself, are you not?" He asked. "Yes, I just like the look." Gohan said. "Yet you know nothing of the Super Saiyan God... Bummer. Oh well." Beerus said. "Whis, we're heading home." Beerus said. "As you wish." Whis said. "H-Hold on." Gohan said. "Yeah, what is it?" Beerus asked. "Why don't you stay for a while? There's no reason to pass up on this fun party." Gohan said. Now Celestia and Luna were sweating bullets. "Hmm... You know, that does sound like a good idea. I smell some delicious food over there on that table... I also see some exciting games over there, with the pink one." Beerus said. "That's the spirit!" Gohan said. "Whis, cancel that. We're gonna have some fun." Beerus said. "Alright, then." Whis said. So our two aliens along with our preexisting alien went to greet the rest of our cast. Twilight didn't know what Beerus was. Neither did Gohan. They respected him, though. Whis was weirdly talkative and respectful... Nobody seemed to be bothered at Beerus. *** "Howdy, Beerus! I'm Applejack of Sweet Apple Acres, and this is my sister, Applebloom!" Applejack said, grabbing her sister. "I can speak for myself, AJ." Applebloom complained. *** "I'm the one and only Rainbow Dash! The fastest flyer in all of Equestria!" Rainbow Dash said boldly. "I must say, your confidence is stunning." Beerus said. "Heh, it's natural when you're awesome." Scootaloo said. "Oh, right. I'm Scootaloo!" She said. *** "I am Rarity. Charmed to meet you." Rarity said. "I'm Sweetie Belle! It's nice to meet you!" Sweetie Belle said. *** "I'm Pinkie Pie! Whee!" Pinkie said while hopping away. "Energetic one..." Beerus said. *** "I'm Fluttershy. It's nice to meet you, Mr. Beerus." Fluttershy said. "It's my pleasure." Beerus said. *** "I am Princess Twilight Sparkle! It's nice to meet you." Twilight said. "I'm her trusty assistant, Spike!" Spike said. *** Yep, everything was all right... Except for our two princesses... "We must make sure his temper doesn't flare..." Celestia whispered. "Right. Not even Son Gohan can handle something like Lord Beerus." Luna said. Anyway, our deities ate some delicious food, they played pin the tail on the pony, they listened to Gohan's godawful karaoke singing, but they all danced to some music from the DJ instead of the Mozart shit. (Mozart isn't shit.) Beerus was break dancing as everyone clapped. You know, spinning on your head and stuff. Luna and Celestia were confused as to how Beerus wasn't angry at all this shit. Last time he... Nevermind. Especially the karaoke, but I guess everyone else's singing made it better. Now there was an announcement by Twilight. "Everyone! I need to show you this." She said. She had Gohan stand in the middle of the room. Beerus and Whis were tasting some rice and fish while sitting down. "She seems like she's presenting something." Whis said. "Eh, I don't care as long as it's entertaining." Beerus said. But then the room was filled with soap. Nobody noticed it until a lot of ponies tripped. Yes, even Twilight was struggling to remain standing. Well, Gohan wasn't, but Goten was sliding across the floor while sitting. "Whee!" He cheered. The Crusaders all followed him. Some ponies managed to keep their balance. Some ponies fell down. Some ponies just flew because, well, they have wings. "...It can't be." Beerus said. "Be what, my Lord?" Whis asked. "For thousands of years I lay dormant..." A familiar voice echoed. 'Oh no.' Celestia thought. 'Not today, dang it!' Twilight thought. 'Oh brother.' Gohan thought. And let's cut to Pinkie's imagination for some elevator music. Beerus actually stood up and grinned. "Who dares disturb my-" "-You don't need to overcomplicate things, old friend. Just show yourself!" Beerus interrupted. "Old friend!?" Twilight, Gohan, Celestia and Luna asked. Then distinct laughter could be heard. "You're such a bore, Beerus. You don't play around, as usual." Our familiar friend said. Discord appeared beside Gohan, slithering in the air. "It's been too long!" He said. "Discord, it's great to see you again!" Beerus said. "You know Discord!?" Everyone asked. 'H-How...?' Celestia thought. "Well, obviously. Deities know each other very well." Discord said. "From how long ago?" Twilight asked. "Well, let's see... I know I came before and after you turned to stone, so the first time was about 3.5 million years ago, and the next time I tried to visit is a million after that, then I came to Equestria to see you turned to stone." Beerus said. "Do you have the same exalted ideals as before?" Whis asked. "Not necessarily, no." Discord said. "How do y'all know each other...?" Applejack asked, slipping for a few seconds before falling on her face. "Like I said, deities know each other. I'm a God of Chaos, while he is a God of Destruction." Discord said. "Destruction?" Everyone but Celestia and Luna asked. "I'm a destroyer god. I destroy planets that I see irredeemable." Beerus said. "Well that's not very nice!" Pinkie said. "I never claim to be." Beerus said. ... 'I don't know whether to fight him or lay low. I can't measure his strength like this.' Gohan thought. 'How strong is he? I can't sense it.' Goku said. 'Not a good idea, maybe...' Gohan said. 'Just do it!' Goku said. "Er, Lord Beerus, my dad wants to know how strong you are." Gohan said. "I'm the strongest in the universe." Beerus said. "Nothing can get in his way, not even you." Discord said, putting his finger on Gohan's head. Surprisingly, to Beerus, nothing happened. "Well, I guess that would make sense..." Gohan said. "Huh. Your magic doesn't work on the kid?" Beerus asked. "Oh, no. He's too powerful for that." Discord said. "I know killing Frieza is an accomplishment, but that's extraordinary." Beerus said. "Oh, uh... Thank you, Lord Beerus..." Gohan said, bowing a bit. "What brings you here, Discord?" Beerus asked. "Oh, I just happened to drop by, sensed my fellow god was here and- What the heck do you think I'm here for?" Discord asked. "Uh... The party?" Fluttershy asked. "Well, obviously. I'm kinda hurt that you didn't send me an invitation, Celestia." Discord said. "I-I'm sorry, it must've slipped my mind..." Celestia said. "Huh... Perhaps you need a punishment." Beerus said, aiming his palm at Celestia. Celestia was obviously scared. Gohan and Twilight saw that clearly. Beerus had the creepiest smirk on his face... Luna was scared for her sister. She knew what should come next... ... "Hakai." He said. The dreaded word. Celestia expected to be destroyed, but... ... Nothing happened. Discord started laughing his ass off. "Did you really think I cared about your invitation?" He asked. "W-What?" Celestia asked, realizing she still exists. 'I've never seen the princess so scared of something... What is it about Beerus...?' Gohan thought. "It's obvious Discord doesn't care about the party, he came just to see me!" Beerus said. Celestia sighed in relief. So did Luna. "Anyway, continue, Princess Twilight." Beerus said, waving his hand. He walked away and sat back down. Luna was beside her sister for moral support. "Uh... Okay... But Discord has to get rid of the soap!" Twilight said, struggling to keep her balance. Then she fell on her face. "Fine, fine." Discord said, snapping his fingers. It was gone. Goten was standing on one foot and sliding while laughing. (I guess it's funnier to imagine Chris Griffin's laughter) Then the soap was gone, and he fell on his face. Our Crusaders stopped sliding. "Aw..." They whined. Everyone else sighed in relief. But... "Discord, get over here, we have some catching up to do!" Beerus said. Discord slithered on over. Then they started talking again. "I'd like everyone to see this... I studied really hard on it." Twilight said. "No kidding." Spike muttered. Twilight had yellow magic form at her horn. It began taking energy around the horn... "Twilight... Can you explain to me what you're trying to do?" Gohan asked, a little concerned. "Trust me, it'll only be for the better!" Twilight said, straining. She started sweating. "...And then my assface of a brother blew a huge fart in my- What is that?" Beerus asked. Now the conversing gods were intrigued. "OKAY, GET READY!" Twilight exclaimed. She fired! Recoiling back a few inches, her yellow blast created some wind. ~~"THAT'S A LOTTA DAMAGE!" Twilight yelled.~~ Gohan just closed his eyes and braced for impact. It hit! ...The pendant. Twilight stopped her Hyper Beam and panted. "That should do it..." She said. "What is she doing?" Beerus asked. "Well, I could tell you, but that'd ruin the surprise of your dreams." Discord said. "What are you going on about?" Beerus asked. The pendant... Began cracking...? UWAAAAAAAAAHT? "Uh..." Gohan said, very, VERY concerned. Then, it broke into many tiny pieces! Instantly after that, a yellow flash of light appeared! Everyone but the gods and angel was blinded! Beerus looked shocked and stood up. Whis looked on in surprise. The flash died down, and everyone looked to... T-To... Orange gi, blue boots, belt, wristbands, and crazy spiky hair... Without any white glimmers... "No way..." Goku said. "YES!" Twilight cheered. "Do my eyes deceive me...?" Beerus asked. "W-What the...!?" Gohan asked. Goten looked to his side with a surprised face. "Dad!?" He and Gohan asked. "It's you!" Beerus said, pointing at Goku. Author's Note I know you're probably thinking: "WHAT THE FUCK!?!?1? YOU PROM15ED SH1T W0ULD G0 DOWN YOU LYING SACK OF SHIT!" ...Okay, maybe not. If you don't see it, it's the nearly getting destroyed part. Anyway, Goku's back!? Well, shit, we have the three Sons. You know something bad's gonna happen with Goku... ...You might say, some shit will go down.
Battle Between a God and a Mortal Pt. 7"I'm me!" Goku said joyfully. He inspected his own body to make sure this wasn't a dream. "D-Dad...!" Gohan said, not knowing how to react. "Yay! Daddy!" Goten said, tackle hugging his father in the chest. Goku couldn't really take it all in at once. But he had to do something. "H-Hey, Goten...!" He said, hugging him back. He started laughing nervously. "Is this real...?" He asked himself. Gohan couldn't believe it. To the point where he just couldn't stop staring in pure joy and confusion. He was pretty much paralyzed with euphoria. Twilight was squealing at the fact her magic worked. Beerus knew Goku looked very familiar from his dream... Whis was astonished that Twilight had a reanimation spell. Everyone else was surprised. The Mane 6 and Spike, notably. Not necessarily the other ponies, they didn't even know what was happening. Except Luna and Celestia. "Bravo, Princess, bravo!" Discord said, clapping and standing. "Indeed. Reanimation is a very noteworthy ability." Whis said. Twilight squealed even more because living organisms actually noticed. "It's you!" Beerus said, pointing at Goku. "Uh... Huh?" Goku asked. Goten looked to Beerus strangely, too. "You're the Super Saiyan God in my dream!" Beerus said. "Really...? Um... I'm not a Super Saiyan God." Goku said. Gohan snapped out of his trance by shaking his head. "I think we established this already." He said. "Well, Lord Beerus, it seems your prediction was actually wrong after all." Whis said. Beerus grunted. "Ugh. Fine, Whis." He said, defeated. "Wait... What happened?" Cadence asked. "It's a reanimation spell, of sorts." Twilight said. "H-How...!? Why!? I can't...! Believe!" Gohan stuttered. "I basically changed the roots of the reconstruction spell and overloaded it with positive magic! That's the basic part, you don't know how much chemistry and math came into the mix." Twilight said. "I didn't understand any of that!" Goku said. "I did a science." Twilight said. "Ohh." Goku said. "You brought this guy back to life?" Shining Armor asked. Flurry Heart was happy at the sight of Goku and tried reaching for him. "It's Gohan and Goten's father, Son Goku!" Rarity said, surprised. "What!?" Basically everyone but the main cast asked. I mean, the Mane 6, Spike, Saiyans, and Royal Sisters. "Uh... Well, I don't really know most of you, but it's great to meet ya...!" Goku said. He hasn't really talked to anyone other than Gohan for a while. And Sunset, a few times. And indirectly towards Goten. "Well... The hair matches Goten's..." Shining Armor said. "But your faces are all alike..." Cadence said. "Ooh, is that Flurry Heart?" Goku asked Shining Armor. He walked up to him. "Yeah." Shining Armor said. "Can I see her? I wanna be her god....Grand... Uh... Whatever the word is." Goku said. "Honestly, I don't think it exists." Gohan said. "Just call me grandpa!" Goku said. "I suppose that works...? In a way..." Cadence said. "Well, I guess we know you now, so sure!" Shining Armor said, holding the baby up to Goku. Flurry Heart reached out to Goku while giggling. "Isn't that just cute?" Fluttershy asked. Goku took the baby, and well, Flurry Heart tried grabbing his face. Goku chuckled, tickling her in the chest. Obviously, Flurry Heart ended up giggling and laughing. Once Goku stopped, she grabbed his wacky hair. (By wacky, I mean fucking reality defying. You see it from the front, it's sideways. Makes sense. Then you see it from the side, it's the same as if you were seeing it from the front. What the fuck? I'm not even kidding.) "Aw! You got my hair! Hehehe- Ow!" Goku said, as she pulled REALLY hard on it. Goku accidentally let go of the baby to hold his head in slight pain. Flurry Heart let go and started flapping her wings while giggling. Shining Armor and Cadence slightly gasped. "Uh..." Gohan said. Beerus was looking at the scene because, well, it seemed interesting. It's kinda getting his mind off his blunder. "I'm going to look at what else they have to eat." Whis said, walking away. "Don't pull my hair...!" Goku said. Flurry Heart just giggled as she jabbed him in the stomach. So, he was caught off guard and felt that... He grabbed his stomach next because, again, unexpected. She has some physical strength, too... Flurry Heart was about to smash her hoof into Goku's face before he caught her teeny tiny hoof with two fingers. "Jeez! I know you're strong, but dang! That's awesome!" Goku said. The baby alicorn giggled as she tried pulling her hoof away. Cadence used her magic to carry Flurry Heart. So Goku let go. "I'm sorry, somepony forgot the other spell." Cadence said, giving Shining Armor the evil eye. Shining Armor was sweating. "Oh, it's fine. She packs a punch, but it doesn't hurt. At least not anymore." Goku said. "Well, let's get you something to eat, you haven't eaten for the entirety of your imprisonment. Which was 1082.7103 hours." Gohan said. About 45 days. "You counted?" Goku asked. "I made a mental note of when I got the necklace." Gohan said. "What is this 'mental note' you speak of?" Goku asked. "I expected you to say that... It's like a note you take in your head." Gohan said. "Oh. Well, yeah! I need some grub!" Goku said. "Twilight!" Pinkie yelled. "What?" Twilight asked, confused at Pinkie's sudden anger. "You didn't tell me to request a planet's worth of food! You told me half a civilization!" Pinkie said. "What?" Twilight asked. "We don't have enough food." Pinkie said. "Oh." Twilight said. "Pinkie Pie, do not worry yourself." Celestia said. "The chefs are more than prepared to cook up a storm." Luna said. "Though, it should take some time." Celestia said. "That's okay! I know what I need to do to kill some time!" Goku said. "Whatever it is, I hope it's fun." Beerus said. "Well, I dunno. Do you like fighting, Lord Beerus?" Goku asked. 'Oh no.' Gohan thought. "It's true that I enjoy a good fight once in a while. Elaborate." Beerus said. "You're supposed to be really strong, right?" Goku asked. "Correct." Beerus said. "How about showing me a teensy bit of your strength, huh?" Goku asked, showing the teensy with two fingers. "You want me to demonstrate my power... What have you in mind?" Beerus asked. 'Oh no.' Celestia and Luna thought. "We can go toe-to-toe in a sparring match, even for a minute!" Goku said, as excited as a little kid going to Toys R Us. "Do you even hear yourself...!?" Celestia asked. "Yes, Goku. Do you even know what you're saying? Challenging a god of destruction?" Discord asked. "I have lived for a very long time..." Beerus said. "...But never have I been issued a challenge such as yours..." He said. "You seem to be quite sure of yourself... Or could it simply be... That you're just an arrogant fool?" He asked. "Son Goku, it is highly recommended that you do not face Lord Beerus..." Luna said. "What? But why not!? I haven't had a proper fight since yesterday!" Goku said. "Yeah... Why not?" Beerus asked, standing up. Goku got all excited. "Go ahead and come at me with everything you've got." Beerus said. "All right! Sweet!" Goku cheered. "Hold on a minute!" Gohan said. "This is the worst place to fight! There are bystanders!" He said. "Hmm... You're right. Whis." Beerus said. "All right, my lord." Whis said, putting his finished cup of pudding down. He jabbed his staff into the ground, and with that... Goku, Beerus, Gohan and the Royal Sisters were taken to a field. An empty field. "This way, you can go all out without harming anyone. Sound good?" Beerus asked. "Yeah!" Goku said. "...But are you sure you want my full power right off the bat?" He asked. 'This is the one time that dad is being arrogant...' Gohan thought. "If I hurt you, I don't want you getting all ticked off and unleashing your anger on this planet..." Goku said. "You have my word." Beerus said. "Well, let's begin." He said. ... Gohan just looked on in confusion. The Royal Sisters were freaking the hell out! Goku smiled as he took a deep breath. Let's cut to our party for a moment! *** ... "What just happened?" Twilight asked. "It appears my best buddy forgot to invite me." Discord said, pouting. "Where are the princesses?" Applejack asked. "And what am I going to do with all this food that the chefs just prepped!?" Pinkie asked, revealing a whole table, fresh with new plates and food. "I'll eat some!" Goten said. ... "Well, I guess the other bottomless pits will have to wait... Dig in!" Pinkie said. "I call the sweets!" Pinkie yelled. *** "...Okay." Goku said. He instantly turned into a Super Saiyan! With the aura... "See, first, I have to go Super Saiyan." Goku said. Then, Goku powered up while grunting loudly. He created many winds... He turned into a Super Saiyan 2! "All right!" He yelled, throwing a fist in the air. "Now, I'm a Super Saiyan 2!" He said, lightning flashing all around him. "Well, well. This is a surprise. It appears that that Super Saiyan talk wasn't just a bunch of hot air after all..." Beerus said. "Not bad, huh? But if you want, I could dial it back to 1 for ya." Goku said, cocky. "No, no. That won't be necessary." Beerus said. "Well, just try your best." He said. Goku took that as an insult... "You still doubt me...? Fine!" He yelled, darting at Beerus. He left a bunch of dust behind him. He was about to reach Lord Beerus, but teleported behind him to throw a powerful punch! But... With a purple flash of light, Beerus caught the fist with his back turned. Goku was surprised... Beerus hurled him casually across the grass, making him slide. Goku turned while sliding and stopped his momentum. But when he looked up, Beerus was right in front of him, scaring him. Beerus flicked him in the forehead... Sending Goku straight into the ground! Gohan was shocked that his dad was getting thrown around like this. Goku flew up from the debris, flying sky high. He grunted in pain, realizing he bled from the mouth a bit. He wiped it, and looked down at Beerus, who gestured for him to come at him. Goku took it as even more insulting, and clouded his judgement. Without thinking, he powered up, using the Kaioken! "Super Kaioken!" He screamed. His yellow aura instantly turned red... Beerus was pleasantly surprised at Goku's stunt. Goku moved around in a flash, darting at Beerus. He threw a kick, which Beerus dodged. Goku kicked a bunch of rocks upwards. But Goku threw a bunch of punches at Beerus, who just dodged them casually! Goku threw a kick, which he missed again. Beerus jumped up this time. Goku then threw another barrage of punches at Beerus, who blocked them all with a flurry of kicks... Beerus maneuvered behind Goku, all the while smirking. Goku was so irritated that... "TIMES THREE!" He screamed. Making his red aura flare even more. He hurled a fist right at Beerus! But Beerus dodged again... Goku slammed his fist right into the ground, sending seismic waves all over the planet! *** In Mostcow... "Nu blyat!" A Russian pony yelled at another Russian Pony. "Vrod, blyat! Cyka!" "Idi nahui!" Then the ground exploded nearby! "Tchevo blyat!" "Debil!" *** Beerus maneuvered behind Goku again, only to catch him by surprise. Beerus held a chop above his neck while smirking... And gently tapped his neck. Goku lost all his power in that one moment, and... Instantly reverted back to base form. He fell to his knees before collapsing entirely. "Dad!" Gohan yelled. Celestia and Luna were just surprised. Beerus started walking away while whistling. Gohan immediately rushed to his father. 'Crapbaskets...' He thought. Goku was out cold... Gohan reached into his pouch of senzu beans. "He was a formidable warrior, I must say." Beerus said. Gohan dropped it in Goku's mouth. "But he wasn't a challenge for me. Whis, let's head back to the party." Beerus said. Jesus Christ, look at the devastation of this poor field! The holes and shiet... Goku instantly sprang up. "Phew! Thanks Gohan!" He said. Beerus turned around in shock. "What?" He asked. "Well, look who's conscious?" Gohan asked. "Man, you're really awesome, Lord Beerus! I can't believe you're so strong!" Goku said. "I'm really glad he didn't kill you, making you dead for the third time." Gohan said. "How'd you get back up?" Beerus asked. "Senzu beans!" Goku said. "They heal all wounds and restore stamina." Gohan explained. "Some sort of wonder drug, eh? Sounds interesting." Beerus said. "I guess you could categorize it as a drug." Gohan said. Our princesses have been rather quiet... "It's always a pain when it hurts in there... But, eventually, you'll like how it feels!" Goku said. Innuendo... ... "...I need an adult." Gohan said. "I am an adul-" "No. No you are not." Gohan interrupted Goku. "Goku, you are a very formidable warrior." Beerus said. ~~"AH AM A SUPAH STAH WARRIAH!"~~ "I commend you on your progress... For a mortal." Beerus said. "Thanks!" Goku said. "Let us return to the festivities... I heard that you're hungry." Beerus said. "Yeah!" Goku said. "Whis." Beerus said. Whis tapped his staff on the ground. Author's Note Holy shit, this took a long while. I've been trying to edit the shithole of a Season 3 as much as I can but, MAAAAN! It still looks and smells like shit! So it's not done. I've been wasting my time on that... But I got this done. Sorry for the wait.
Battle Between a God and a Mortal Pt. 8Goten was groaning in the corner... He sat down, rubbing his stomach. He ate a little too much... But there's still a lot of food. The Crusaders were all poking him, trying to get him to move. "Come on! Wake up!" Applebloom said, poking Goten in the face. "Come on!" Scootaloo said, poking him in the chest. ~~"Do math!"~~ "Stop... It hurts..." Goten said. So they left him alone. Pinkie was just gobbling sweets down, definitely getting the diagnosis for diabetes later. Does she even have a doctor? Cadence was trying to spoon feed Flurry Heart while Shining Armor held the baby. Twilight and Spike were chatting about her accomplishment. "So that's why you killed the plant?" Spike asked. "I brought it back to life after you went to sleep." Twilight said. "Here I was, thinking you finally went insane." Spike said. "I wanted it to be a surprise for everyone..." Twilight said. "Well, it wasn't a surprise for everyone, now." Discord said, right behind Twilight. So Twilight kinda screamed in surprise. Discord started laughing. "How'd you get scared by that!?" He asked. "I didn't expect it!" Twilight said. "What do you mean it wasn't a surprise for everyone?" Spike asked. "I saw it coming from a mile away. Probably because I read your mind as you announced it." Discord said. "You can do that?" Twilight and Spike asked. "Well, what do you expect from me? I'm a god of chaos, I can bend reality!" Discord said, literally bending reality in half... Everyone started screaming since their bodies were only visible on the bottom of their hooves and somehow that was connected to their heads. Discord had his laugh and reversed it. "That isn't funny!" Twilight said. "Wait... Then how come you let Gohan beat you?" Spike asked. "Oh, I'm not sure of everything, now. Anything that's clearly much stronger than my physical form is either barely affected by my magic or isn't affected at all." Discord said. "Did Goku and Gohan feel those changes?" Twilight asked. "Not likely. Goten only had half of the effects, if you didn't notice. Oh, and he didn't even notice. Hah! And we know how much stronger the older ones are." Discord said. "Uh... No we don't." Twilight said. "Oh. Monumental." Discord said. The six who previously disappeared reappeared. "Well, now I have something to scale him to." Gohan said. "You're back!" Twilight said. "After giving the other side of the planet a huge earthquake." Discord said. Goku scratched his cheek and had an awkward smile. "Yeah, I tried going all out..." He said. Celestia and Luna whispered. "I suppose Son Gohan knows Lord Beerus' resolve..." Luna said. "But what does he think about it...? Is he arrogant?" Celestia asked. "I don't believe so... He doesn't like fights, so I suppose he's safe." Luna said. "You two." Beerus said, snapping them back to reality. "I think we're about done here..." He said. The sisters sighed in relief... "I deem this planet to be okay. It will survive... For now." Beerus said. "Oh, good. I was planning on going to limbo for a million years again." Discord said, wearing a suit and tie while holding a suitcase. "I remember when Master Roshi went to limbo." Goku said. "He did?" Gohan asked. "Oh, yeah. When Demon King Piccolo survived the Evil Containment Wave, it put too much strain on the old man's body and he died." Goku said. "But since it was the Demon King, he never actually died." Discord said. "I-I'm... Surprised you knew that." Goku said. "I'm surprised that you haven't been destroyed by now." Discord said. "Huh?" Goku asked. "I'm done here. Whis, let's go." Beerus said. "My lord, you haven't tasted the desserts of this place yet..." Whis said with a smirk. "Desserts? Hmm..." Beerus said. 'WHY!?' Luna and Celestia thought. "Maybe I'll stay for a few sweets..." Beerus said, looking over to the table of food. Pinkie was, well, still devouring sweets... The dessert trays were nearly empty. She was basically eating pudding right about now. So Beerus wasn't exactly excited. "There's nothing left!" He yelled. "There's some delectable pudding left. It's very tasty." Whis said. "Explain." Beerus said. "It's a creamy confection. It looks like sludge but it tastes like heaven." Whis said. Beerus' mouth watered at that. "Then I'll just have that." Beerus said. "It's right over there." Whis said. Beerus and Whis walked over to Pinkie. Or, the tray, more specifically. "Hmm... I could've sworn there were about twelve cups here a minute ago." Whis said. "Well, there's only one more. It's all for me!" Beerus said, about to grab it. ... Then it disappeared before he grabbed it. "MINE!" Pinkie said. Beerus was first surprised, then angry. He turned to Pinkie, who was holding the pudding cup. "What the...!?" He asked. Celestia and Luna mentally screamed. "I grabbed it first, so it's mine!" Pinkie said. "What!?" Beerus asked. "I'm sure you've eaten more than enough... Can you spare one for Lord Beerus?" Whis asked. Pinkie stuck her tongue out. "What!?" Beerus asked, more pissed. "You're being a rude guest!" He yelled. Let's cut back to the Saiyans... Gohan and Goku were sitting beside Goten. His tummy ache was leaving... "Did you win?" Goten asked. "Nah. He's too good." Goku said. "Oh... That's okay, you're still the coolest to me!" Goten said. "Aww... Thanks, buddy." Goku said. "That's sweet." Gohan said. "Well, we almost have the whole family!" Goku said. "What's going on over there?" Goten asked, pointing at Beerus and Pinkie. "I WANT THE PUDDING!" Beerus yelled. "I WANT IT MORE!" Pinkie yelled. "GIVE ME THE PUDDING RIGHT NOW YOU PINK DIABETIC!" Beerus yelled. Pinkie was very insulted... So she gobbled down the whole cup! She crossed her forehooves. ... Celestia was speaking with the chefs. "We have more pudding, right!?" She asked. "I'm afraid not, Princess... We ran out." The male chef said. Celestia and Luna looked worriedly at Beerus... He had a purple aura around him... He looked severely pissed off. He grunted very loudly. "You... have made me MAD!" He screamed, unleashing his pressure intense aura everywhere. The winds alone kept ponies from looking. The ground below him actually cracked... "Oh dear." Whis said calmly. Pinkie was scared at that. "Can you feel that!?" Gohan asked. "I can taste that!" Goten said. Celestia and Luna rushed to Beerus. "No, Lord Beerus!" Celestia pleaded. "Please, stop!" Luna pleaded. Beerus got immensely angry at this distraction and roared even louder, pushing the two aside. "What in the hay is going on!?" Applejack asked, holding her sister close. "Oh no..." Gohan said, standing up. "That doesn't look good." Goku said. Beerus made the tables and food fly everywhere. "You have failed to show me respect as a destruction god..." Beerus said grimly, holding up a hand. Gohan was running towards Pinkie as fast as he could. "And now you shall be punished!" Beerus yelled, unleashing a yellow blast on Pinkie. Gohan appeared in front of her at the last second in an attempt to shield her. *** Outside the castle wall... BOOM! Gohan was flying out the wall! Debris and bricks flew everywhere... Gohan landed on his back 10 feet away. He shielded Pinkie, so she was unharmed. But he took that head on. He struggled to get himself back up from that... His shirt was torn a bit. He managed to sit up. Pinkie zipped away from that scene. "Equestria has failed to give me the respect I deserve..." Beerus said. "So what...!?" Gohan asked. "It's time..." Beerus said. Then the Royal Sisters dreaded these words. "...to punish Equestria." He said. Author's Note I really took my sweet ass time with this one. Wow. Anyway, shit's finally gone down. Can Gohan stand up to Beerus...!? I dunno.
Battle Between a God and a Mortal Pt. 9In the Land of the Kai's... "YOU HAVE TO BE KIDDING ME YOU STUPID PINK HORSE!" Old Kai yelled into the crystal ball. "P-Please calm down..." Shin, the Supreme Kai said. "What do you mean 'calm down!?' There isn't a switch in my brain that just allows that to happen!" Old Kai yelled. *** "It's time to punish Equestria." Beerus said. Everyone gasped. "Well..." Discord said, wearing his suit and tie again. "It was nice knowing this place." He said. "Punish Equestria!?" Gohan asked. "This is what happens when mortals don't share their pudding!" Beerus yelled. "Wait a minute, please!" Celestia pleaded. Beerus shot her a death glare, making Celestia sweat. She was visibly scared by Toriyama's favorite cat. "It's no use delaying the inevitable, so I suggest you let it happen quickly." Beerus said, holding a hand to the ground. A purple orb of destruction energy appeared. "No!" Gohan yelled, getting up. All eyes were on him. "I... I won't let you!" He said. Beerus gave a creepy smile and made the energy disappear. He put his hand back into it's original position. "Typical fool... If you're as arrogant as your father to fight me, then you don't learn." Beerus said. "I don't know if I can defeat you..." Gohan said, placing a hand on his clothing. He pulled it off to show his gi. (Like pretty much every Saiyan in the actual movie. They happened to have their battle outfits underneath...?) "...But there's no way I'll let you destroy this planet!" He said. He looked extremely determined. Like on the Day of Destiny. (If you know what I mean, then you get an imaginary cookie.) Celestia and Luna now placed their hopes on him... Goku knew he wouldn't be of help for once... Goten was confused as to what was happening, but managed to know that the planet might be fucking gone. "Well, I might as well go to another reality." Discord said, snapping his fingers. Then he disappeared. "Well..." Gohan said. His heart was pounding, he was already sweating. He couldn't fathom Beerus' strength... Especially from that last blow. And the fight preceding this one. "Well, then... Come on. Show me your true power." Beerus said. Gohan bent his knees and powered up! Instantly turning into a Super Saiyan 2! "Let's start with Super Saiyan 2!" He yelled. "Hmph." Beerus responded with a smile. In an instant, Beerus appeared in front of Gohan, catching him by surprise. He threw a punch at Gohan. Gohan barely managed to dodge it. Beerus threw more punches, of which Gohan either barely deflected or dodged. But eventually, Beerus punched him upwards on the chin, sending Gohan flying up. Everyone had to look up to actually see him, he was really far up. Beerus quickly flew after him. Goku and Goten ran out of the castle. "Gohan!" They both yelled. Beerus punched Gohan in the gut, making him cough. He gave Gohan no time for recovery, because next he was punching him in the face numerous times. So there was a few uninterrupted seconds of that... "D'oh! Ack! Crap! Baskets!" ... ~~"Thinking of you, Goku!"~~ Finally, Beerus kicked Gohan in the stomach before kicking him in the face. "Uwah!" It was jagged, so Gohan was kicked downward. Gohan yelped in pain as he crash landed. He never felt such power before... "He didn't even last a minute up there!" Goku said. "Gohan!" Goten yelled. Gohan looked up to Goten while he was on his knees. "Take this!" Goten yelled, throwing the sheath and sword at Gohan. 'Tapion's sword!' Gohan thought. He caught it and unsheathed the sword. "Weaponry against me?" Beerus asked, before landing softly. "You're an even bigger fool." He said. Gohan stood up and dropped the sheath. He held the sword with two hands. "I can do this!" He yelled. "You'll die trying." Beerus said nonchalantly. Gohan instantly darted at Beerus, and he slashed down on Beerus! ...But... Beerus blocked the blow with one finger, and, well... The sword was split in two. '...That's not goo-' Gohan thought before he was punched away. He slid across the ground for a moment. Everyone gasped. Gohan got back on his feet while holding the handle. 'That was such a good sword, too...' He thought. "Dang it!" He said, dropping the handle. "I'm going all out on this one...!" He yelled. "Oh boy..." Goten said. "Show me your power!" Beerus yelled. Gohan powered up and yelled. While this over exaggerated yelling is occurring, let's cut to our other bystanders. "Pinkie!" The rest of the Mane 6 yelled. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Pinkie apologized. She really looked sorry. "Why did you do that!?" Twilight asked. "I really didn't mean to, my doctor told me I have an eating disorder!" Pinkie said. "You have a doctor?" Everyone asked. "Yep! He's my imaginary friend, Dr. Fr. S. An. D. Doctor! He tells me to do stuff..." Pinkie said. She looked to the side. "Don't you sass me!" She yelled. "Who are you talking to?" Rarity asked. "Doctor, these are my friends!" Pinkie said. ... "I know that, but you can't say that in front of her!" Pinkie said, looking angry. "Are you okay...?" Fluttershy asked. "I think she's lost it." Twilight said. "What about Lord Beerus?" Applejack asked. "Gohan's gonna handle it, chill out." Rainbow Dash said. "You don't understand." Celestia said. She and Luna appeared out of nowhere... "Beerus the Destroyer is an unstoppable force... If he says it, he means it, and nothing will stop him." Luna said. "Indeed... A thousand years ago, he visited and nearly destroyed the planet..." Celestia said. "What happened?" Fluttershy asked. "He had a hatred for our cuisine, so he wanted this planet destroyed." Luna said. "Our mentor, Star Swirl the Bearded concocted a fruit salad to calm him, somehow..." Celestia said. "Then do that now!" Rainbow Dash said. "This isn't a case of food, Rainbow!" Twilight said. "It's me..." Pinkie said, looking sad. "It's okay, but now..." Luna said, looking towards Gohan. Who was still yelling. "Doctor, shut up!" Pinkie yelled. He finally created a sphere around him that shattered into a million pieces. From that, he emerged as a Super Saiyan 4! Beerus... Looked genuinely surprised. 'What is this...? How can a mortal get this strong?' He thought. Gohan let his aura loose, powering up to his utmost limits. He put a crater into the ground below him... But it was a tiny crater. With a radius of 3 feet. Why did I mention that...? Because I like math. Gohan stopped his little burst and let his aura calm down. It went back to a normal aura. Gohan took a deep breath. In... And out... "I'm ready." He said grimly. Beerus just looked on in confusion. Whis was even looking in slight astonishment. "Yeah, he's a Super Saiyan 4 now!" Goten cheered. "That's my son!" Goku cheered. "What an interesting mortal..." Whis noted. "I'm going to win this, no matter what!" Gohan yelled. Author's Note A chapter in a day!? Get outta here! I've been playing the shit out of Dragon Ball FighterZ. ~~Teen Gohan main lol what do you expect~~ Anyway I concocted this chapter ~~that I got out of the garbage~~ so please try to enjoy.
Battle Between a God and a Mortal Pt. 10"So that's a Super Saiyan 4..." Beerus said. "I'm not losing to you. Get ready!" Gohan said. "You're so sure of yourself..." Beerus asked. He seemed to be sure of himself, but really, he wasn't sure of himself. Beerus seemed unfazed by his transformation... "Well, then. Come at me with all you have." He said. Gohan grunted before he flew right at Beerus. He threw a heavy punch! Beerus... He blocked with his hand. Gohan didn't pay much attention to that, he started throwing punch after punch after punch. All the while yelling that fabled "ATATATATA" Beerus blocked the same way for every punch. Everyone was just looking in awe and confusion. I mean, now there are shockwaves from just the fists alone. Eventually Gohan threw a much heavier fist, which Beerus finally dodged. He instantly punched Gohan in the jaw, spinning him around. By that, I mean he made Gohan horizontal and he's spinning a few centimeters off the ground. So he's kinda like a helicopter. Gohan used the painful momentum to cup his hands together and smash them into Beerus' face! Right in the cheek! Beerus was hit... Actually, he was knocked away into the air! "All right! He did some damage!" Goku cheered. "Now he can win this!" Goten cheered. Celestia and Luna were confused. "Did he just...?" They asked each other. "Princesses..." Shining Armor said from behind, holding Flurry Heart. Cadence was with them, too. "I think you need to explain to us what's happening." Cadence said. "Of course." Celestia said. Beerus stopped his momentum instantly. "All right, mortal..." He said. Gohan put two fingers to his head and teleported way above Beerus. He put his hands back together for another Double Axe Handle. He came crashing down on Beerus! And he actually hit him again! Beerus was sent flying down to the ground, but just stopped himself before reaching it. He still seemed... Unfazed. Gohan flew down at him, winding up his fist. He let out a small war cry as he did this. He was about to punch Beerus until... Well, he stopped right before he touched Beerus. Why? Beerus stuck his foot up and kicked him in the stomach right before it hit him. So Gohan was pretty locked in place. Beerus maneuvered behind Gohan and kicked him to the side. Gohan was sent flying, but he made his aura flare before flying straight back at Beerus. "Not yet!" He yelled, throwing more punches. Beerus flew straight at Gohan, too. From there, the fight continued on in the sky. But they weren't cloud level. Shockwaves from their attacks colliding could be seen from miles away. Eventually, Gohan started throwing many ki blasts at Beerus. Beerus casually blocked by crossing his arms. Smoke flew everywhere. He still didn't seem fazed at all. Gohan teleported in front of Beerus inside the smoke. There, he charged a Kamehameha! The smoke quickly disappeared as he charged it. "What the..." Beerus asked. "Kamehameha!" Gohan yelled, unleashing the devastating wave on Beerus. Gohan put as much energy as he could into this blast. Beerus blocked, but was being pushed back. Still no signs of seriousness... "FULL POWER!" Gohan screamed. With that, the Kamehameha blast exploded, creating a fierce blue light and huge smoke. It could be seen from all over Equestria. The winds were felt by the bystanders. "I can barely see...!" Goku said, blocking his face with his arms. "I can't see!" Goten said, closing his eyes. The ponies were struggling to stand in place. It finally died down, and Gohan was left panting. 'I should really not put that much energy in my blasts...' He thought. 'But... I think it worked...' He also thought. "How disappointing." Beerus said, shocking Gohan. Beerus made the smoke disappear in an instant. He had his hands behind his back, no cuts, and still no signs of seriousness. "Was that really it? That was no power of a Super Saiyan God." Beerus said. Gohan recoiled a bit. He's mocking him...! 'Wow. I suddenly feel like Vegeta.' He thought. "That's child's play. With a blast as weak as that, it's clear. You're no arch rival of mine." Beerus said. ~~"Shots fired!" Goku said.~~ "I'm not done yet! I won't let you destroy the planet!" Gohan yelled, letting his aura flare. "If you can't see your inevitable demise, then you truly are a fool. You want to experience utmost pain before you die...?" Beerus asked. "I want to protect what I love... If that's considered foolish, then I am a fool! I don't care!" Gohan yelled. Beerus was behind Gohan without him realizing it. "That's not the only kind of fool you are." He said creepily. Gohan turned around in surprise to be met with a punch to the cheek! A crack could be heard. Beerus angled his attack downward, and Gohan flew down to the ground. He yelped when he crash landed again. "No!" Goten said. Gohan managed to stand up from that... That knocked the wind out of him. "I... I'm still in..." He barely said. Beerus landed softly. "Are you done? Or are you going to still persist?" He asked. "You know the answer..." Gohan said. He darted at Beerus! "I'm done fooling around with you." Beerus said grimly. Gohan threw his left fist right at Beerus! Beerus actually caught the fist this time. "You don't know when to quit." He said. Beerus put his other hand in a finger flick pose to Gohan's forehead. Well, that obviously confused Gohan. "This is over." Beerus said, flicking Gohan in the forehead. Gohan was supposed to be sent flying... But Beerus held on to his arm. So... Gohan screamed in immense pain. It felt like his arm was being pulled off... But that wasn't all. His arm eventually started to ripple... Gohan screamed even louder, because all the bones in his arm were actually breaking and breaking and breaking. This was pretty hard to watch for everyone... Practically everyone looked away. Beerus just had the same unfazed expression. Gohan was desperate to get out of it. He tried slamming his other hand into Beerus' arm in vain. It just didn't move. "You mean we're all going to die!?" Cadence asked. "Er... Yes..." Luna said. Cadence cried into Shining Armor's neck. Shining Armor kept his composure, but was obviously having a tough time taking it all in... Flurry Heart did not know about anything, so she was just laughing and acting like a baby. "It's all because of me..." Pinkie said, genuinely sad. "Don't beat yourself up, Pinkie... You couldn't have known." Twilight said. But, then Fluttershy kinda screamed and covered her eyes. Kinda screamed... As in a teeny tiny "Ah!" Not really an "AAAAAHHHHH!" Rarity couldn't look either. The Crusaders all covered each other's eyes. "What in the hay are y'all-..." Applejack said before she realized what was happening. "What the heck is happening to his arm!?" Rainbow Dash asked. "How is that even physically possible!?" Twilight asked. "Uh oh." Applejack said. Gohan was still trying to get free, because with each second passing, each bone was being broken in half. Half in half in half in half in half... The pain was unbearable. "Stop!" He pleaded. Beerus showed no sign of letting go. Gohan kept trying in vain. "Stop hurting my brother!" Goten screamed. Beerus looked to his side to see a Super Saiyan 2 Goten charging straight at him. Even Goku was following him in the same way. It's like lookalikes. Beerus finally let Gohan go. Well, Gohan was still flying a few feet before he crashed on the ground. He coughed a bit of blood. "We're not going down without a fight! Take this!" Goku yelled. Him and Goten started throwing as many punches and kicks as they could. Beerus somehow dodged everything while standing in place. This went on for a while. Gohan struggled to get himself up. Even to sit up was a challenge. The forehead flick alone just knocked the wind out him, and the arm breaking/liquefying was the icing on the cake. Speaking of which... "Not again...!" Gohan managed to say. Beerus had enough of Goku and Goten's relentless assault, and he widened his eyes. He created a huge invisible force while also creating extreme winds... Goku and Goten were pushed back immensely, while also taking a lot of damage. Goten was knocked back too much, and crashed into the wall. Goku managed to hold out... As soon as the winds ended, he clearly took a lot of damage. He was sweating bullets from just that. But he didn't give up! He made his aura flare intensely! "Body... Don't let me down!" Goku said to his body. His aura turned into a crimson red. So it was Kaioken. "You morons don't know when to quit." Beerus said. Goku charged at Beerus, throwing a fist down at him! But it was light, not hard. Beerus dodged again, moving back a bit. He was expecting a repeat of last time. But Goku changed his pattern. Goku jumped, getting into a cannonball pose and flipping over to behind Beerus. He threw his elbow back at Beerus. Beerus was somewhat glad Goku didn't just repeat his previous mistakes. But nonetheless, it didn't matter. Beerus jumped forward to dodge that. He turned around to see Goku throw a ki wave at him. Beerus just flicked that away. Goku didn't finish there, he dashed forward to perform a sweep kick. Beerus jumped up to avoid that. Goku jumped upwards to throw an upwards kick! Beerus decided to fly up higher. Goku flew higher to come right back down with a double axe handle. Beerus dodged and landed quickly. Goku came down at him charging a Kamehameha. "Kamehame..." He yelled. Beerus held his hand up to block the incoming blast. But, Goku did something new. He disappeared from sight. Beerus didn't realize that Goku used Instant Transmission. And he looked behind him to see a- "HA!" Goku screamed, putting as much into this blast as he could. A direct hit! The blast blew into the skies. The clouds around it just disappeared or had a huge hole in them. It blinded practically everyone nearby. And after Goku finally let up... Smoke was everywhere. No sight of Beerus. His aura disappeared, and he was a regular Super Saiyan 2 again. He was panting extremely hard. 'Did I... Did I win?' He thought. He recoiled a bit from the Kaioken. Little damage on his body... ... "Well, it seems you aren't the Super Saiyan God either." Beerus said from inside the smoke. Goku was beyond surprised and scared. 'Holy...!' Twilight thought. 'Shit!' ~~Krillin~~ Rainbow Dash thought. Beerus quickly made the smoke just vanish. He appeared without as little as a scratch. "Y-You..." Goku managed to say. Then... Beerus just stuck his finger into Goku's forehead. And with that... Goku was locked in place. His pupils just disappeared. Soon after, he revered back to base for and collapsed again. He fainted. "Dad!" Goten yelled. He emerged from the rubble and charged at Beerus again. "Stupid kids...!" Beerus said, starting to get annoyed. Goten threw a punch, and Beerus... Well, he caught it with his index and middle finger. "You stupid, arrogant brat!" Beerus yelled. Goten tried comedically getting his hand out. He tried pulling out the traditional way, then he used his feet to try and push off of Beerus. "L-Let go of me you big meanie!" Goten yelled. So Beerus let go. Goten flipped a flew times before finally falling to the ground. He stood up once more. But he grabbed his hand in pain, because Beerus had a fingertrap grip. "Ow! You bully!" Goten said. "I'm not your playmate, little one. I'm tired of your childish games." Beerus said. "You're one to talk! You're all mad because of some lousy pudding!" Goten yelled. "What... You dare downplay my dessert tragedy?" Beerus asked grimly. Beerus grabbed Goten by his shirt angrily. "It might mean nothing to you, you pudding spoiled brat! But I've never tasted it before! I have no idea what it's like! Is it more creamy?" He yelled with an angry expression. Goten just cowered in fear because a purple cat was screaming at him. "Or gelatinous?" He asked with sweat all over his face. "Is it savory or sweet?" He asked with a regular face. "Lumpy or smooth!?" He asked with a shiny angry face. "Is it a rustic flavor?" He asked with a sweet face. "Or experimental!?" He asked with a chalky angry face. "Rich or tart!? Or spicy!? It could be a brand new flavor, refined on your planet for THOUSANDS of years! And I would never KNOW! It could've shattered my whole understanding of what food is! I'll spend eons wondering 'What if?'! Do you still think that's trivial, boy!? DO YOU!?!?!?1?" Beerus screamed into Goten's face. (Yes, that was intentional.) Goten was tearing up throughout the whole thing... And now he's crying. "Is this just a completely one sided fight? This is just getting weirder and weirder." Twilight said. "We just saw a purple cat scream into a little boy's face and now he's crying." Rainbow Dash said. "Ugh, now you're even crying like a child!" Beerus yelled. He just tossed Goten aside. Goten just tried calming himself down while sitting up. He wasn't a Super Saiyan anymore. "Are there any more contenders available? Or can I finally destroy this planet in peace?" He asked. "N-No...!" Gohan said. He finally sat up. "Oh, come on! You already had a go!" Beerus yelled. Gohan reached into his senzu bean pouch... 'Only one...!? Come on...! Who ate them!?' He thought. Scootaloo happened to burp at this moment. "Excuse you." Sweetie Belle said. 'Better make this one count...' Gohan thought. He ate it. With that, his arm was back to normal and his stamina was restored. He jumped back up. Beerus was surprised. "How did you...?" He asked. "Senzu bean. Healed me right up." Gohan said. "...A wonder drug...?" Beerus asked. "Of sorts." Gohan said. 'Now... How am I going to beat him...?' He thought. Beerus sighed. "I just want to get out of here already, and yet you insist on wasting my time." He said. "I refuse to let you destroy this planet without a fight!" Gohan yelled. "That's it." Beerus said grimly. And with that... Beerus appeared in front of Gohan, surprising him. He grabbed him by the arm. "This will be over in a second." Beerus said, taking his grab back and putting his hand over Gohan's face. Gohan couldn't see at all... Everyone watching was just confused as to what was happening. ... "Sleep." Beerus said, forehead flicking Gohan yet again. This time, with a little bit more force. And in an instant... Gohan flipped over and his head was dragging across the ground. He was dragged very far... Once he finally stopped being dragged across the ground... He just laid there. He lost all of his energy. He couldn't get up. All the bystanders were shocked. Well, except for two. The Royal Sisters. "I'm afraid this was to be expected..." Luna said. "W-What do you mean?" Twilight asked. "We knew from the start that nopony can even fathom Lord Beerus' true strength." Celestia said. "We did not think he would come here, but we were wrong..." Luna said. Goten finally managed to stop crying. And then he saw Gohan just downed in one hit. "Gohan!" He called, running after him. He was at the fallen one's side, trying to get him up. "Get up! Gohan, get up!" He pleaded. Beerus just looked on. No cares. "It seems you're letting me destroy the planet after all. Oh well." He said. He held his hand to the ground with some purple energy. "Gohan, please! You never failed us before, and you can't do that now!" Goten pleaded. Gohan heard everything. He managed to gain the tenacity to move. Even though it was just a little flinch, Goten and Beerus managed to notice. "You cannot be serious." Beerus said, stopping the blast. Gohan moved his arms a bit... He groaned as he slowly pushed off the ground. Goten started chuckling joyfully. "Yeah!" He said. "For my sake!" Beerus said. Everyone looked pretty happy and surprised that Gohan was getting up! Gohan managed to get on his feet, and stood up with a hunched back. He seemed ready to fight yet again! ...Until he couldn't bear to stand and got back down on one knee. ...Wow. That was short lived. As shown on the expression on everyone's face. 'Oh, thank me.' Beerus thought. He walked up to the now downed Gohan. "You fought well, but this is over." Beerus said, aiming a palm at Gohan. Gohan just sat there... He wanted to fight on, he wanted to keep going. But he couldn't muster the strength to stand for even a moment. 'I want to fight... But... I can't...' He thought. Some destruction energy appeared in front of Beerus' palm. "...I'm sorry, everyone." Gohan said to himself. Goten obviously overheard that. "I couldn't protect you this time... I can only hope you can find it in your hearts to forgive me for my weakness..." Gohan muttered. A tear came to his eye. That made Goten think. Gohan... All he had done for him... He... He couldn't leave without giving something back. Beerus finally was about to deliver unto Gohan his end. "Hakai." Beerus said. ... "NO!" Goten screamed. In that instant of a moment, Goten acted. He jumped, and shoved Gohan out of the way! Gohan did not expect that, and was actually shoved away. Beerus looked surprised as to what just happened. He already let the destruction rip. Gohan managed to look back at Goten for one last time... And before the destruction hit him, Gohan could read Goten's lips. "Thank you." With a bright smile... But then... He screamed in agony. As the destruction energy slowly tore every bit of him apart and into nothing... Nearly every bystander looked in horror. Gohan couldn't believe it. "N...No!" He called. He reached out to Goten's disappearing body in vain. And then... Goten was gone. Destroyed. No trace left. He gave his life to spare Gohan, even if it was just as little as a few seconds... Gohan desperately looked around. He moved forward on his knees and tried feeling for anything Goten. No matter what he did... Goten was gone. He was... Gone. Gone forever... Only a feeling of total sadness and anguish filled Gohan. He held his head low. "Hmm. That was unexpected." Beerus said. Gohan grunted. That voice... The voice of the bastard that did this. The bastard that took Goten away. The feeling of sadness quickly washed away with the feeling of intense anger. "You... killed him." Gohan said. Author's Note Shit... Really contemplated about doing this, really did, but this is what I decided. DO NOT WORRY! Goten will come back! Just... Not in the same way as Goku. Actually... Not even remotely similar. It'll be 100% different. End of story. None of that 'living through you' bullshit. Anyway, in other news... I finally got this out. Took my ass long enough. Family issues and major contemplation caused this to be overwhelmingly late. Now expect the next one to be even later. HAHAHAHAHAHA- Just kidding, I hope it's faster. On a final note, you know this story will end soon. ...In like another 10-20 chapters or so. So I'm planning to get another story out after finishing this. Maybe... About Gogeta. Or Vegito. Or both. Or Goku! Or Tien! Or maybe Meme Lord Yamcha! Okay that last one was a joke.
Battle Between a God and a Mortal Pt. 11The ponies were all confused. "Wh...What happened to Goten?" Twilight asked. "I don't know..." Shining Armor said. Well, our two princesses knew. Goten was erased from existence. Not dead, just nonexistent. Celestia and Luna held their heads down. "He's... Gone." Luna said. "Gone...?" Scootaloo asked. "Destroyed." Celestia said, looking saddened. Everyone gasped. "D-Destroyed...!?" Fluttershy asked. Everyone was saddened. Pinkie... Her mane flattened while she had a shocked face. "I was going to take out the whole planet, but he just happened to be in the air. Let's try for a second time." Beerus said, walking in front of Gohan. That voice only made Gohan even angrier. He started grunting loudly... "You killed him." He said grimly. "Yeah, yeah, I don't care." Beerus said. With that, Gohan snapped. "You don't care...!?" He asked, looking up at Beerus. Uh... Steam just randomly came out from some parts of Gohan's body. Like the arms and such... Gohan stood up, surprising everyone. He was grunting angrily with each breath. This very moment was just reminding him of the Cell Games yet again... 16's soothing robot voice telling him to let go... ~~"I have waited oh so looong... Please don't tell me-" I'm done.~~ ~~Actually...~~ ~~"HELLOMYNAMEISSIXTEENMAYIPLEASEKILLYOU?"~~ Okay, but REALLY... "Let it go. Please... Drop your restraints." ~~Just imagine if Gohan was actually named Ox In The Box.~~ ~~Ox In The Box goes Super Saiyan 2 for the first time.~~ ~~Mystic Ox In The Box.~~ ~~I'm done.~~ But at the very same time, for some reason, Krillin happened to pop up with these words. You know, to try and calm him down... "Happy thoughts, Gohan, happy thoughts! Breathe, Gohan, you're a leaf! A leaf in a calm stream-" "F**K THE STREAM!" Gohan screamed. "Pardon?" Beerus asked. Everyone gasped at that language! Shortly after, Gohan appeared in front of Beerus as if he jumped. Beerus was caught off guard by this, and was instantly met with a kick to the face! He actually grunted while being pushed back a few feet! His feet dragged across the ground because of this. "Nngh..." Beerus responded, touching his cheek. "I actually kind of felt that one." He said. Gohan screamed to the skies. Gohan's aura flared intensely while he screamed. Rage was evident. He put a huge crater into the ground that came really close to affecting the castle. The louder he screamed, the bigger his aura was. Beerus was intrigued by Gohan's sudden awakening... So was Whis. Goku's limp body just remained motionless. "What is happening!?" Rainbow Dash asked, covering her eyes. "He's screaming!" Twilight yelled. ~~"No fucking shit, Sherlock!"~~ Gohan's aura was also very bright. So bright that most of the ponies couldn't see. Gohan finally stopped screaming, but he tried containing it while letting out grunts. His aura remained strong. Beerus looked... Actually a little pleased. "Your power is continually rising... It's actually very impressive." He said. "Your compliments mean nothing to me!" Gohan yelled. "Fine. I'll make you a deal. If you manage to beat me in a fight with your newfound power, then I won't destroy the planet." Beerus said. "You won't destroy the planet because I'll KILL you before you can do it." Gohan said. "Hmph. I'll give you an extra chance. I'll be using my full power this time." Beerus bluffed. "I don't care, I'll finish you!" Gohan screamed. Right after that, his aura died down to a small trickle. But his rage was still real. He dashed off the ground, shaking the earth around him! He threw a punch while screaming! Beerus blocked with his hand, putting yet ANOTHER crater into the ground. It's like the moon at this rate. Gohan threw a roundhouse, only for Beerus to jump back. "HRAAGH!" Beerus yelled, lunged forward at speeds unimaginable. Not even Gohan could react. He punched Gohan right in the gut, making him cough! Beerus just stopped there. He thought the fight was over, so he just stood there. But he was dead wrong. Gohan made his aura flare before punching him in the cheek! Beerus moved back a few feet for recovery. He was obviously angered by that, so he grunted before he punched Gohan downward! But it didn't send him into the ground. Beerus kicked Gohan in the side and punched him! And that punch sent him flying! Way beyond the horizon. Beerus quickly flew after him. The main cast ponies all rushed outside. The two were just gone. "Should we follow them?" Rainbow Dash asked. "We need to tend to Goku right now." Cadence said. "Okay, who actually wants to see it go down?" Rainbow Dash asked. Only she raised her hand. "Oh, come on!" She complained. *** Gohan was still flying... He was right above the forest beside Foal Mountain. Beerus appeared behind him, and caught him in a chokehold! "So what are you going to do now?" He asked. "Kidney shot!" Gohan quickly elbowed Beerus, getting a kidney shot in. That caught him off guard. "Kidney shot!" He yelled numerous times as he elbowed Beerus repeatedly. "Kidney shot, kidney shot, kidney shot, and pause..." Gohan said. Beerus was somewhat dazed by the attack. "Stomach punch!" Gohan yelled, punching Beerus right in the gut. Beerus coughed, but quickly recovered. He grunted angrily before kicking Gohan in the stomach and kicking him again, but down to the forest. Gohan managed to stop himself from crashing into the ground, but Beerus was flying right at him from the side. Gohan received a body blow, being sent farther away. He crashed into a few trees, but he recovered while flying backwards. He and Beerus landed on separate tree branches. They quickly charged, parrying with a punch, a knee, and another punch, causing debris to fly everywhere! The trees around them started to deteriorate with each blow. Finally, Gohan got a hit in with a screaming rising uppercut. Beerus didn't fly upwards very much, but he was visibly annoyed. Gohan tried getting another punch in, but only ended up getting kicked really hard by Beerus. I mean, wow. As soon as Gohan finally reached the ground, he was dragged across the entire forest. In fact, he even blew through a part of Foal Mountain. He was headed for... Neighagra Falls! Well, he was just above it now. Beerus appeared above Gohan to perform a double axe handle on him! Right into the lake! Gohan managed to stop himself from landing in the river. There there were a bunch of ponies looking confused as to what was happening. Beerus dove down at Gohan. "Tell me, mortal." He said as he threw a punch. Gohan barely dodged. "Why do you persist?" He asked, kicking Gohan into the lake. Gohan made his aura flare and put a huge hole in the water. "Because you killed my brother! I'm avenging him...!" He yelled, charging at Beerus. He threw numerous punches at him. "It's rare to see a Saiyan consumed by a flaw such as pride!" Beerus said, dodging every one. He kneed Gohan in the stomach, but Gohan punched him away. The two ended up falling down to the bottom of the lake, but the water parted as if they were Moses. They kept clashing and breaking the ground beneath them. Gohan kept letting out a war cry with each attack. He was hell bent on getting his revenge. The ground beneath them crumbled, and our fighters fell in. The hole was quickly clogged up with rocks. Eventually, the two reached a cave with water beneath them. The two separated from their clash and jumped away to gain some distance. They stood on water that was originally there. Gohan was panting. Exhausted. His aura kinda shortened. It was evident that he was burning out. "Tired out, are we?" Beerus asked, not having even a scratch on him. "Be quiet...!" Gohan yelled. "You should know that I'm not happy either." Beerus said. "What...?" Gohan asked. "I still haven't even come close to using my full power in this fight." Beerus said. "What!?" Gohan asked. "Yes." Beerus said with a smile. Gohan grunted. "Then I'll just have to get stronger..." He muttered. "Mortals without divine power can never defeat a god. Accept your fate." Beerus said. "I... I challenge my fate." Gohan said. With that, his aura flared brighter. "What...? You STILL persist?" Beerus asked. He looked a bit irritated. Gohan looked ready to fight yet again. "I'm gonna give it all I got!" He yelled. "You'll die trying." Beerus said. Gohan darted right at Beerus. Beerus darted right at him, too, screaming. He elbowed him in the chest, knocking Gohan over. His aura died out. Gohan managed to jump and stand again, but Beerus was already in front of him, kicking him in the shoulder and the side of the knee. Gohan managed to actually blast Beerus away a little. He chased him, throwing a heavy punch. Beerus bent over backwards and kicked Gohan upwards. He back flip kicked, to say. Gohan put two fingers to his head and teleported before hitting the ceiling. Beerus didn't realize that he was behind him before he punched him in the back of the head. Beerus turned around, only for Gohan to repeat the teleportation, trying to get a chop in. But Beerus jumped up preemptively to dodge. He started throwing numerous ki blasts. Gohan did the same right back at him. Now ki blasts were clashing and flying right off course, making for a neat light show if you were able to see it. *** While the other ponies treated Goku, Rainbow Dash, Cadence and Twilight were tasked with tracking the fight. These three were just flying through the skies. They scanned the ground beneath them. A few pegasi could be seen around them. "From what I can tell, they went east before eventually going north..." Twilight said. "I feel horrible for Goten..." Cadence said. "We know..." Rainbow Dash said. Our three eventually reached Neighagra Falls, where the water was still parted like the Red Sea. A bunch of ponies were confused as to what was happening, because for a split second they saw a monkey with red fur with flames and a purple cat fighting and enter the ground. "I'm willing to bet they're down there..." Twilight said. "I can hear the blasts." Rainbow Dash said. *** These blasts were still going. But Gohan was about to change it up. He stopped his blasts. "You fool!" Beerus yelled, adding more blasts. Gohan stood still for a moment, and closed his eyes. Every blast in front of him seemingly stopped. "It's over now." He muttered. He instantly did an... Instant Kamehameha upwards. He destroyed all of Beerus' blasts, and his beam was headed for Beerus! Direct hit! *** "Is Gohan winning?" Cadence asked. "I dunno." Rainbow Dash said. Then... BOOM! A giant blue beam just shot out from the parted ground! It was truly random. "YEP!" Twilight yelled. *** The blast died down. The smoke hadn't parted yet... Gohan panted, as he put a lot of power into that. He just got on his knee. The smoke just parted instantly. Beerus was still there, but was definitely irritated. He blocked with his arms. He looked pissed. 'Oh no... How...!?' Gohan thought. Beerus remained in the air, and screamed loudly. His purple aura flared, and a bunch of ki blasts flew everywhere. Gohan couldn't muster the strength to dodge... The first blast hit him the head, knocking that backwards. More pounded his chest and arms, and now he was being burrowed into the ground. The ki blasts also hit the cavern, so rocks started to bury Gohan. Beerus ended the all directional blasts and focused them all at Gohan. So Gohan was being pounded deeper into the ground as rocks fell on him. "Doh! Ack! Ow!" He yelled. ~~"DOOOOOOODGE!"~~ Beerus finally ended his blast and watched as the rocks crumbled upon Gohan. "Do you see the error of your foolish ways yet!?" He asked. No response. Beerus closed his eyes. "Rest. It'll be the best thing you do right now." He said. "It's over." Beerus said. Gohan couldn't rest. He had to do something. But... 'I can't...! Damn it!' He thought. Beerus flew out from the cavern, and the three ponies saw him exit. "Uh... Is that a good sign?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Doesn't look like it." Twilight said. ... The rocks kept piling on. His body began to shut down. Muscles hurt to much, his breathing slowed. He closed his eyes. Gohan was about to just let go again. You know, finally accept his fate for once? Until he heard these words... "Can you still fight?" He heard. 'W-What...?' Gohan thought. 'Goten...?' "I asked if you can still fight." "I... I want to fight." Gohan said. "In that case... I'll lend you my power." Suddenly, a few imaginary energy drops entered Gohan's forehead. He felt sudden... Jolt. As if he had been pumped full of energy. But that was a fassad. It was a feeling, but not a fact. Gohan couldn't help but imagine a spiritual form of Goten in the formal wear, the same as his father was just a little while ago. And with that... He opened his eyes. "No..." He muttered. "It's not... OVER!" Gohan yelled. "Hraaaaaaaagh!" He screamed. Beerus looked intrigued, as were the ponies. In an instant, a giant yellow aura destroyed some the crumbling rocks around Gohan! Gohan still screamed, traveling through all the rocks and rubble in an instant. His aura destroyed anything in front of him. But something was off... Why could we see a transparent Goten in front of Gohan? Gohan was about to reach the surface, and burst through the ground. The debris remained with him for a while, but once he got close to Beerus' level, it got off. Gohan stopped there, looking up at Beerus with a death stare. His aura kept flaring. The three ponies cheered. "All right!" Rainbow Dash cheered. "He's got this!" Cadence said. Beerus just screamed in annoyance. "You've ruined my perfect ending, you stubborn freak of nature! Will you just stay down already!?" He yelled, pointing at Gohan. But then he looked intrigued again. Something was different this time... Gohan's aura... It was much bigger than he was. But what was inside it was the kicker... A giant mirage of a base Goten could be seen behind Gohan. As if that's his regular aura. He was in the same pose as Gohan, too. "What am I looking at?" Twilight asked. "Wasn't he...?" Cadence asked. Gohan wasn't done yet. It's time for round...5. Wow. Author's Note Okay, so TECHNICALLY this was an incomplete chapter. But it's taking too long for me to post, so this is what I got. As you can tell, Gohan's perception of Goten is imaginary, but for some reason, his mirage is there... Just to clarify, this isn't Goten's return. Not even related.
The AftermathIt's been pretty hard for everyone. Goten's gone forever. As soon as Beerus and Whis technically died and ceased to function respectively, this happened. *** ... "What... Just happened?" Celestia asked. "I... Don't know." Goku said. Nobody really knew how to react. Where did Beerus and Whis go? Weren't they about to die...? Why was it cut short? ... "...We should hospitalize Gohan." Twilight said. "His blood is getting on my arms." Goku said. Gohan was actually unconscious now. "Gohan!" Goku said, shaking him a little. Everyone heard some cracking. "Gohan! Hey Gohan!" He said, shaking him some more. And more cracking. Everyone was getting paranoid. "Gohan?" Goku asked, shaking his neck this time. Ew... It was much louder. "Maybe he'll wake up if I shake him some more..." Goku said. "Just stop it, Goku! You'll kill him!" Twilight yelled. "Sorry, sorry." Goku said. "What happened to the senzu beans?" Rarity asked. "His pouch seems empty." Goku said. "Let's get him to the Canterlot Hospital." Twilight said. "Hey... Where's Goten?" Goku asked. ... "...Hello?" Goku asked. "...I'm afraid... He's gone." Twilight said. "What do you mean...? He's dead?" Goku asked. "Er... Sorry..." Twilight said. Now Goku felt like shit for not protecting his son. "...Oh no..." He muttered. He looked shocked, then extremely distraught. Pinkie looked on in horror. She was the one who did this. 'What the heck is wrong with you!?' She thought screamed at herself. She ended up shedding a few tears. ... 'Goten... I'm sorry.' Goku and Pinkie thought. Even Gohan felt that way, despite being unconscious. *** ... ... 'What is this...? Am I dead?' Gohan thought. He was just in a blank space. Nothing here, nothing there, nothing nowhere. 'I assumed that I would go to King Yemma... But this is just nothing.' Gohan thought. But then Gohan could see something far away. A faint purple... And next to it was a faint red. Also a faint white? Gohan walked towards the things he saw... As he got closer, he could start to see what exactly is happening. He started speedwalking... Then running. Sprinting... He went full throttle! "No! Goten!" He screamed. What was he seeing? Goten's destruction. Again. From a different angle this time. He hurried, wanting to save Goten. He rammed into Beerus, and...! ...Phased right through? "What the...!?" He said. "You fought well, but this is over." Beerus said, aiming a palm at Gohan. ... "No!" Gohan yelled, trying to kick Beerus. He turned into a Super Saiyan. Nothing happened, his foot just phased through. "Why!?" He yelled. He stood there, motionless. ... "Hakai." Beerus said. ... "NO!" Goten screamed. In that instant of a moment, Goten acted. He jumped, and shoved the not real Gohan out of the way! Beerus looked surprised as to what just happened. And before the destruction hit him, only the fake Gohan could read Goten's lips. "Thank you." With a bright smile... But then... He screamed in agony. As the destruction energy slowly tore every bit of him apart and into nothing... *** Well, Gohan's in a hospital bed. The Mane 6, Spike and his father were the ones beside him. Except Rainbow Dash. Gohan wasn't in a patient gown, but still had an IV to keep him fed. His heart rate was being monitored, as was his breathing. His boots were taken off. 'I'm really glad I'm not in the bed... I hate hospitals and their needles...' Goku thought. He shuddered at the thought of needles. Looking at Gohan taking the IV needle was like watching a horror movie. Suddenly... Gohan's heartrocket skyrated! He was grunting and moving all over his bed... He looked angry in his sleep... "No...!" He muttered. Now there was sweat everywhere. His heart rate got even faster. He turned Super Saiyan in his bed. "What's happening...!?" Twilight asked. "Whatever it is, I'm guessing it's a nightmare." Goku said. Gohan turned into a Super Saiyan 2...! Goku shook Gohan, trying to wake him up. "Gohan, get up. You're having a nightmare." He said, shaking him. ... "...NO...!" Gohan screamed in his sleep, making his aura flare. Goku was pushed away, and surprised at Gohan's energy output. Then Rainbow Dash suddenly flew in the room. "I got the senzu beans!" She said, holding up a pouch. Goku held his hand up as if to motion her to throw it. Rainbow Dash did just that, and Goku caught it. He took a bean out of the pouch. Gohan was grunting, and his teeth were showing. "Eat up, Gohan." Goku said. Since Gohan wouldn't separate his teeth, this was a lost cause. Goku decided to try and open his jaw, but this is a Super Saiyan 2 jaw, so no. Goku grunted. "Come on...!" He said, turning into a Super Saiyan himself. He managed to get it open a little bit... So he dropped the bean in. Gohan stopped resisting and began impulsively chewing. ... Gulp... Gohan calmed down... He wasn't a Super Saiyan anymore. "Phew..." Goku said. "Thanks, Rainbow Dash. I don't know where Zecora is at all." He said. "Earth ponies and her seem to have the same exact feeling." He added. Gohan started groaning as he woke up... He opened his eyes, then... He immediately jolted awake. "Where am I!? What happened? What's going on...?" He asked. ... "...Oh... Right." He said. ... "Are you okay?" Goku asked. Gohan started tearing up and crying. ... Awkward silence from everyone else. *** Well, Gohan got out of the hospital pretty soon. But remains depressed. Same as Pinkie, she's depressed as well. It's been tough on everyone. Right now, the castle is nearly done being fixed. The funeral/memorial was held at the edge of Ponyville. (Yes, funerals without a dead body exist.) It was basically a table full of Goten and his stuff. His gi, and other keepsakes. There were plenty of photos. Half of them were him and Gohan, acting as a duo. Piggyback rides, training, eating, and all sorts of stuff... The others were of just him, a group photo with ponies like the Main 6, and group photos of him with the Crusaders. There was a bunch of flowers on the table as well. Everyone came in a black suit or dress. Yes, even Goku. Although he thought the suit was incredibly uncomfortable... It was grey with a black tie. Gohan had a black suit with a black tie. The other ones around include the Mane 6, the Crusaders, the princesses, literally everyone in Ponyville, Spike, Starlight, Sunburst, Shining Armor, and Flurry Heart. This would've been a regular memorial... ...But it was just made insanely awkward with Gohan. Why...? He was the one in front the entire time, bawling on his knees. Like, EVERY SINGLE SECOND OF THE MEMORIAL WAS JUST HIM CRYING. The other ponies paid their respects, but Gohan just kept crying in front of the table. Goku felt horrible for Gohan. What was he supposed to do for his son? This is devastating... He just lost one son, the other one's doing through a mental breakdown. The whole service was just the same. 'He'd never forgive me...' Gohan thought. *** Goku took Goten's place in the house... ...But Gohan's changed. He became a depressed little shit. For the next few weeks, he's completely changed. First off- He rarely got out of bed. He stopped crying after day 2, but he would rarely get up to do anything. He barely ate, he barely spoke, and everyone was very concerned about him. Goku couldn't even get him up to train with him. Speaking of whom, he started using that long forgotten gravity chamber (remember that shit?) again. Gohan was a lost case... For now. Our cast excluding Gohan had to help Pinkie. *** Sugarcube Corner. The Mane 6 and Goku were there. Pinkie was also a depressed little shit, so they were going to help her before Gohan. "Pinkie... We need to talk." Twilight said. ... "...About what...?" Pinkie asked. If you don't remember, her mane and tail are flat. She's sad. "You aren't being yourself." Goku said. ... "Pinkie, we want to help y'all. We're all hurt by this." Applejack said. ... "...You wouldn't understand." Pinkie said. A tear came to her eye. "Pinkie, what makes you think we-" "-You don't understand!" Pinkie yelled, interrupting Twilight. She looked angry. And she tears rolled down her face. "I understand." Goku defended, putting a hand on his chest. "How!? You aren't the idiot who made Beerus all angry! You didn't cause Goten's death!" Pinkie yelled, pointing a hoof at Goku. "How do you think it makes me feel not being able to defend my son?" Goku said. "Pinkie, you could never have seen this coming." Twilight said. "None of us did." Rainbow Dash said. "But I still did it! I still got Goten killed!" Pinkie yelled. "Pinkie, I took it upon myself to ask Princess Celestia about Beerus. She asked all tipsy during the party because ANYTHING could've riled him up." Twilight said. "The karaoke part nearly made him destroy the planet without hesitation!" She said. "So Lord Beerus was just a spoiled but extremely powerful being?" Rarity asked. "Princess Luna gave me something juicy too. Apparently, a thousand years ago, he nearly destroyed Equestria because he didn't like the food. Star Swirl the Bearded managed to make a fruit salad to call him down." Twilight said. "Really?" Pinkie asked. "Yeah, and he's the one who convinced Princess Luna to turn into Nightmare Moon." Twilight said. "Really?" Everyone asked. "Yeah. He was a jerk." Twilight said. "Once he was angry, he had a small chance to calm him down, but since everyone decided to fight..." She said. "...So it's basically my family's fault?" Goku asked. ... Twilight didn't want to be frank... "...Yes or no? I'm thinking yeah." Goku said. "...Yes." Twilight said. "Well, that's all of us..." Goku said. "Pinkie, we all need to move on. Everyone had a part in this, and we forgive you." He said. Pinkie didn't really think that helped... Everyone still knew. "I know my sons well, Pinkie. Goten doesn't care if it's your fault or not. In fact, Gohan doesn't admit it, but he thinks it's his fault that Goten's gone. I do the same thing. You're not alone." Goku said. "Pinkie, we will never forget about this, but we need to move on. Acting all depressed and sad won't help... We want our friend back." Twilight said. She hugged Pinkie Pie. 'If my friends are torn up too... Then...' She thought. Her mane and tail were poofy again. Everyone had a smile now. Pinkie jumped up! "Whee!" She yelled. "Yay!" Everyone else said. Pinkie got on the ground again. She pulled out two boxes out of nowhere. "Who wants cake and cookies!?" She asked with the biggest smile. "Me!" Goku said. Pinkie hurled the boxes at Goku, and they burst open with a cake and many cookies. The cake splattered all over his face, but he caught all the cookies with his arms. Goku licked the cake off his face and ate that part. "Ten outta ten!" He said, eating a cookie. "Wow!" Twilight said. "I have cupcakes for EVERYPONY!" Pinkie said, holding two trays of 24 cupcakes. "Yay!" Everyone said. "Wow. I'm surprised you moved on!" Twilight said. "Pfft. I didn't move on! Nopony moves on!" Pinkie said happily. "Uhh...." Everyone said. "It's called coping! Everypony does it! Moving on is a lie!" Pinkie said. ... "I suppose that makes sense." Twilight said. "Now I need to get Gohan back to normal!" Goku said, eating a cookie. *** Well... It failed. The previous ponies and Saiyan went to Gohan, who still won't get out of bed. "Gohan..." Goku said. No response. He was facing away from everyone. He was awake, though. "You need to talk." Twilight said. ... "Gohan, please." Goku said. ... "Please get up..." Fluttershy said. "I have cookies!" Pinkie said, holding a tray of that. ... "Why are you doing this? You've been in bed for two weeks and you have barely eaten anything." Goku said. "You're even getting weaker! This isn't healthy for you." He added. ... "We're all trying to cope, Gohan. But what you're doing is not coping at all!" Twilight said. "You can't just do this, Gohan." Rainbow Dash said. ... "...What do you care?" Gohan asked. "It's WHY we care." Twilight said. "You're beating yourself up too much over this." Pinkie said. "I still got the cookies!" She said. "I'd rather you all leave me alone." Gohan said. He was definitely sad and grumpy now. "You're hurting us like this." Goku said. "I'm fine." Gohan said. "You're no-" "I said I'm fine!" Gohan interrupted Goku. "No you aren't!" Goku yelled. Gohan actually sat up now. He turned to Goku with an angry face. "Just leave me alone already!" He yelled. "Don't you use that tone against me!" Goku yelled. Now this was just a father-son argument. They never had this kind of argument before... "Then go away! I don't want you here right now!" Gohan yelled. "You need me here whether you like it or not! You're never going to move on if you don't settle it right now!" Goku yelled. "You don't understand how this affects me at all! He sacrificed himself for me!" Gohan yelled. "So- Wait, what?" Goku asked, genuinely confused. "He shoved me out of the way before I would've died. Now please, kindly go away." Gohan said. "Gohan..." Pinkie said, putting the tray of cookies down. "We all know that it really wasn't your fault that Goten died." She said. "Don't you lie to me now." Gohan said. "I'm not lying. If Goten sacrificed himself for you, then it isn't your fault." Pinkie said. "If you keep on like this, you'll upset Goten. He looks up to you as if you were his idol. If he saw you like this now, how do you think that would make him feel?" She asked. ... Everyone was shocked at Pinkie's words of wisdom. Gohan actually thought about that... But his ignorance decided otherwise. "I don't care. He isn't even here to see this, so why should I care?" He asked. "Sugarcube, it don't matter if Goten isn't here or not. If he was here, y'all would devastate him. Just like you're doing to all of us now." Applejack said. ... Gohan just started tearing up. 'You're a monster.' He thought to himself. "Just leave me alone..." He quietly sobbed. "Gohan..." Goku said. Gohan snapped. "Just LEAVE ME ALONE!" He screamed. He jumped out from his bed for the first time in a few days and flew out the window. "Ugh, darn it!" Goku yelled. He was about to go after him, but Twilight put a hoof on his shoulder. "He's not ready yet." She said. "He'll never be ready." Goku said. "He will one day. Just give him time." Twilight said. "I really hope he feels better..." Fluttershy said. "We all do, darling..." Rarity said. *** Well, later, he went back to bed, but remained a depressed little shit. This has gone on for a few weeks, and school is starting soon. But we're all forgetting someone here... Sunset Shimmer. She's been sending messages. Gohan hadn't bothered to look. Or didn't realize they were happening. Messages like: "Hey!" "Gohan?" "Are you busy?" "It's been a few days, are you okay? I miss you." "Hey!" "Is something wrong? Please respond." "It's been a week, I'm getting concerned." "Gohan?" "If you answer, I'll make you your favorite dinner!" "Please answer." "Gohan." "Did something happen? I'm really concerned." "I miss you, it's been a few weeks." And such. Really, it's only a matter of time before he finally answers... I hope. Sunset eventually wrote to Twilight with this shit. "Dear Twilight, Hey! How are you? Barely anything happened around here. Is something wrong over there? I've been trying to reach Gohan, but he doesn't answer at all. He hasn't come here either. Do you know anything about that? I'm getting concerned. From, Sunset Shimmer" Twilight wrote back with: "Dear Sunset Shimmer, Hey! Well, plenty of things have happened here. It was just Princess Celestia's birthday, but something happened and it went wrong... In short, somepony named Lord Beerus, who looks like a cat with human limbs, crashed and nearly destroyed the planet. When you see Gohan, I think he'll tell you the rest... Speaking of whom, I don't know what to tell you. He's really changed. I don't know what to do. Maybe he'll move if I get him to see you again? I hope so. From, Twilight Sparkle" School will be starting soon... Will Gohan go? Will he stop being a depressed little shit? Will I post another chapter within a few days? All will be revealed in ~~ten days~~ the next chapter...! Author's Note I know you're all pissed off at my lateness and how shitty this chapter was, but I just drove for eight hours straight... Twice. That's not even the whole of it. That doesn't excuse how bad and how late this was, but that's what happened. Anyway, Season 3 edits aren't done, but it's at over 11k words. Haven't even started the Wonderbolts Academy revision. Next chapters are for Forgotten Friendship... ...After I sleep for a day. Jet lag is a bitch. Oh, and for those who actually bother to read this shit, after this story is finished, I'm planning a Future Gohan story. It won't start as stupidly as this one did.
Forgotten Friendship Pt. 1The summer went by quickly. The Mane 7 spent it all together... But they wondered where the hell Gohan and Goten were. Sunset was the most worried... He doesn't answer her messages. Asking Twilight, she didn't give much. ... Anyway, first day of school! It's just amazing...! Our 7 were waiting outside the portal... Hoping our Saiyans would come. ... "Sunset, you wrote to Princess Twilight, right?" Twilight asked. "Yeah, but she said Gohan would explain it to us. But he won't respond to anything I send him." Sunset said. "There's no way they won't show up to the first day of school." Rainbow Dash said. "I hope..." Sunset said. *** After an hour of literally doing nothing, class is starting soon. "...They're not coming." Pinkie said. "Yeah, I'm throwing in the towel." Sunset said. "Anyone else agree?" She asked. "Yes." Everyone else said. Our seven decided to walk into school. *** Gohan never came. The classes for the day are over, but clubs are still here. Sunset Shimmer was in the yearbook club... Actually, she's the President of the Yearbook Committee. So she was tasked with taking photos of a lot of stuff. You know, people doing things... Like her friends reading, playing sports and just hanging out. Or pictures of other people hanging out. Her friends decided to help her with the process of uploading photos to the computer. You know, the hard stuff! Taking the memory card out from the camera with Twilight's magic, having Rainbow Dash put it into the computer... Yeah, the hard stuff. There are a lot of adorable photos. Sunset was looking through all of them... ...But Gohan and Goten were missing. 'It's just not complete!' She thought. "...Hey, do you girls want to see last year's yearbook again?" Sunset asked. "Yeah!" Everyone said. Sunset pulled that Yearbook out from nowhere, and opened it. "Aw...! We look so awesome here!" Rainbow Dash said, pointing to a photo of the group. "This year, we look even better!" Sunset said. "But we still have to wait ten whole months!" Pinkie said, pouting. "Don't worry, we're all going to the same college!...I think. Where is Gohan going again?" Applejack asked. "He said he wanted to go to Marevard." Sunset said. "Oh. Okay, so not all of us, but 7 out of 8!" Rainbow Dash said. They looked at all the superlatives and such... "That's a funny way to use your tail!" Sunset said. There was a picture of Gohan trying to wrap his tail around Goten. He wanted to lift him, but he failed. "They got the 'Inseparable Duo' superlative." Sunset said. "I'm class clown!" Pinkie said, pointing at a picture of her holding a giant megaphone. "You're THE class clown." Twilight corrected. "Huh. I won 'Most Athletic!' I thought Gohan would've earned that!" Rainbow Dash said. "He still wins 'Most Heroic'." Sunset said. "Well, yeah." Rainbow Dash said. "Goten's the 'Youngest Genius.'" Rarity said. "He's a toddler in seventh grade, that's insane." Twilight said. "Ooh! 'Best Friends!'" Pinkie said. "Now the nine of us all won that..." Applejack said. "It was pretty amazing!" Fluttershy said. Well, this went on for a while. "Okay, now. I have to give these back to Principal Celestia." Sunset said, taking last year's yearbook. She started walking away. "We'll work on the current yearbook la-" She said, before accidentally bumping into someone. Some girl with green hair, light green skin and is quiet as hell. They both fell down to the ground. Sunset dropped the yearbook. "Excuse me." The girl said. "I'm sorry. I didn't see you come in." Sunset said, picking up her yearbook. "I've been here for a while." The girl said. "I didn't realize..." Sunset said. "I've been trying to get your attention this whole time." The girl said. Sunset blushed in embarrassment. "Ain't she a quiet one?" Applejack asked Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy. "Yeah. And we know some pretty shy people. Am I right?" Rainbow Dash asked. "We do? Who?" Fluttershy asked. Back to Sunset. "I'm Sunset Shimmer. President of the Yearbook Committee and editor-in-chief. Do you want to join? We could always use extra help." Sunset said. "...I'm Wallflower Blush." Wallflower said. "Nice to meet you." Sunset said. "I've been on the Yearbook Committee all year last year." Wallflower said. "Oh! Uh..." Sunset said. "We met in ninth grade English." Wallflower said. Yeah, Sunset didn't remember any of this. "And... I was... saying it was nice to meet you then. You didn't let me finish." She said. Nice save. "...Anyway, I got the list of superlatives that students can vote for." Wallflower said, holding up a paper. She handed it over. "Thanks! We still have time to edit these a bit, right?" Sunset asked. "A week." Wallflower said. "Thanks." Sunset said. The girls all huddled around Sunset. "Hey! Best Friends is still there! We'd totally win that!" Rainbow Dash said. "Why don't we take our picture at the beach tomorrow? Everyone's bound to look adorable." Rarity said. "Are you sure we'd automatically win? We don't want to jump the gun." Twilight said. Everyone just stared at her. ... "...Yeah, you're right, Nevermind." She said. "Beach day! I'll make my world-famous fun-in-the-sun cupcakes!" Pinkie yelled. She leaned into Fluttershy's ear. "The secret ingredient is edible sunscreen! It's SPF fun-hundred!" She whispered. Fluttershy thought that was disgusting. "Are ya gonna invite Gohan and Goten?" Applejack asked. "They have to come. Otherwise, we can't take the photo." Sunset said. "What makes you think they'll be here then?" Rainbow Dash asked. "I'll scare Gohan into coming... I hope he actually reads it." Sunset said. "At this point, he might not even look at it." Pinkie said. "Oh well. Let's go home. We have an exciting day at the beach tomorrow!" Sunset said. The girls all cheered as they left the classroom for the Yearbook committee. "I'll just finish up..." Wallflower said. "Ooh! Forgot to turn off the lights." Sunset said, doing just that. ...Wow. "...In the dark..." Wallflower said. ... That's sad. *** Sunset was in her bed and in her pajamas... About to go to bed. ...But she had to write something to Twilight. ~~In a nutshell, it was-~~ ~~"Get Gohan's lazy ass to go to the beach tomorrow, and tell him he's an asshole for not answering."~~ "Dear Princess Twilight, Hey! I didn't see Gohan today, and he was absent for the first day of school. Do you mind getting Gohan to come to the beach tomorrow? It's for the yearbook. Speaking of which, our friends and I revisited last year's yearbook. We won 'Best Friends!' Well, I already told you, but I wanted to remind you. After all, if you hadn't forgiven me, I'd still be the arrogant student I was when I left Equestria. You gave me the second chance I didn't deserve, and I'll never forget it. Your friend, Sunset Shimmer." She also wrote to Gohan. "Gohan, you have to answer this. If you don't show up to the beach tomorrow, I'll never make you food ever again. That goes for Goten, too." Sunset finally shut off the lights, and went to sleep... ...But something happened. Red magic could be seen coming in from all directions to CHS. Or, really, the forest behind it. What in the heck...? *** Well, beach day. What a day. Sunset wasn't there yet, but the rest of the group were there. Everyone had their swimsuit on. Twilight happened to bring Giru with her... She wanted to test this. She posed, and Giru took a picture because it was programmed into him. Then Giru flew to Twilight. "Group picture, practice run #36-A, attempt seven - success!" Twilight said. "Giru! This seems useless! Giru!" Giru said. "Meh. It's cool." Twilight said. "Uh... I prefer take selfies myself...ie." Applejack said. Let's cut to Rarity and Rainbow Dash. Rarity had five beach blankets laid out. "Which beach blanket should we use for the photograph?" She asked Rainbow Dash. "You mean the white one? Or the white one?" Rainbow Dash asked. Rarity gasped. "This is toasted oat and linen lamb's wool. Eggshell, warm frost, pale nimbus, and... Well, that one is white, I suppose." She said. "Uh... Yeah, that's the one I was talking about." Rainbow Dash said. The wind blew the white one away. Spike, who was digging a hole in the sand, took notice. "Don't worry, Rarity! I got it!" He said, running after it. Then Pinkie ran after it alongside Spike. "No, I got it! I got it!" Pinkie yelled. "Nuh-uh! I got it!" Spike said. The two tripped over each other. ... Then the blanket fell into the water. "I don't got it..." They said, defeated. ...Then the blanket rose with seaweed covering it! Pinkie gasped! "Ocean monster! OCEAN MONSTER!" She yelled. She and Spike ran away as fast as they could. ...The blanket was taken off, and it was Fluttershy. She had goggles and a snorkel. "Quincy the sea turtle says the tide's coming in. We should take the picture soon or risk having damp ankles. Oh, he's so thoughtful." She said, bringing the completely ruined blanket to Rarity. She gagged for a moment. Well, Sunset finally came. Gohan didn't come. 'I thought that would get him... Oh well.' She thought. She saw her friends having fun, taking selfies with Giru. Doing poses like blowing kisses, hands to the head and hips, peace signs, yadda yadda. "This is unproductive! Giru, Giru!" Giru said. "Memory is running low!" He added. Sunset giggled as she got closer. Giru tried to desperately fly away, this was cancer to him. But he ended up bumping into Sunset. "Oh. Twilight, you got the Selfie Sensor working on Giru?" She asked, posing. You know, hand to head and other hand to hips. Then Giru cowered and ran behind Twilight. "Giru! Giru! Giru! Danger!" He said. Everyone just stared at Sunset Shimmer funnily. "...O...Kay? I don't think we'll be able to take the 'Best Friends' picture today." She said. "...Why is that...?" Twilight asked. "Gohan and Goten aren't here." Sunset said. "Who and who?" Pinkie asked. "You know... Gohan and Goten? Saiyans? Our best friends?" Sunset asked. "Wait, our?" Rainbow Dash asked. Sunset thought it was a joke, so she chuckled for a moment. "Uh oh, what did I do?" She asked. ... "...Joke's over, girls." Sunset said. ... "...Should we take the photo without them? Or...?" She asked. ... "...Sunset Shimmer...?" Applejack asked. "Askin' to be in our 'Best Friends' picture? Heh. Now I've heard it all." She said. She looked angry. "Am... I missing the joke here?" Sunset asked. "The only joke is whatever this is you're playing on us, acting all nice like you're our friend." Rarity said. "And it's not funny!" Fluttershy said. "Because you're not nice." Rainbow Dash said. "And we AIN'T friends." Applejack said. Sunset was shocked. "Wait, what!?" She asked. "You got applesauce in your ears? I said, we ain't fr- Whoa!" Applejack said, before Sunset grabbed her arm. She could see the future! Nah, only her memories. Something was off... Sunset was missing from all the good memories, except the bad ones! It's as if someone just erased her from existence. Applejack shoved her away. "Get your hands off me!" She yelled. Sunset's feet/sandals dragged across the ground for a moment. 'They're serious...' She thought. "This has to be a bad dream. Wake up, Sunset. Wake up!" She said, trying to wake up from nothing...! Then Pinkie pinched her elbow. "Ow!" "Nope! You're awake!" Pinkie said. She decided to poke herself. "Ow!" She said, giggling. "Me too!" ... "What about you?" Sunset asked Rainbow Dash. She grabbed her arm now. She saw the memories of the Friendship Games... And she was gone there, too. Even in the race where Rainbow Dash saved her. Back to reality. "No! Rainbow Dash, you saved me in that race!" She said. "What race?" Rainbow Dash asked. "I can see your memories, and I'm not in them!" Sunset said. "And exactly how is it you can see our memories, if you don't mind me askin'?" Applejack asked. "With this!" Sunset said, showing off her pendant. "Oh, pfft! It's obviously a cheap knockoff of ours." Rarity said. "We got them together. You were there, remember?" Sunset asked. "Why is she still talking to us?" Fluttershy asked. "Maybe we should make her leave." Applejack said. "Oh, yeah. I got dibs on this." Rainbow Dash said, cracking her fingers. "Wait, you're fighting me?" Sunset asked. "I wanna try!" Pinkie said. "Why!?" Sunset asked. "Payback. Why else?" Applejack asked. 'This is bad.' She thought. Instinctively, she pulled out her magical book with Gohan. "Give me a moment, please..." She said. "Heh. I don't mind." Rainbow Dash said. She quickly scribbled this down... "Gohan, this is an emergency. Our friends forgot about us and Goten, and now they want revenge on me! I have a feeling they might kill me... But please, I really need you right now! Please!" She closed the book. "Ya done writing your final will and testament?" Pinkie asked. "Not exactly..." Sunset said, putting the book back in her bag. 'I can never seem to win one battle. And now they might kill me.' She thought. "Now, I really do not want to fight you right now." She said. "Too bad." Rainbow Dash said. "Please, this isn't right! Fighting isn't always the ans-" "GOTCHA!" Rainbow Dash screamed, punching Sunset right in the face, full force! Sunset was sent flying, and her bag fell away from her. She rolled on the ground a few times. "Ow..." She mumbled. "Hah! How was that?" Rainbow Dash asked. Sunset got pissed. 'I can't win... But I'm not going down without a fight...' She thought. She slowly stood herself up, taking a deep breath. Some blood ran down from her forehead and over her right eye. Rainbow Dash ponied up. "Had enough?" She asked. Sunset made her white aura flare. "Hyah!" She yelled, ponying up herself. Then her aura turned into a crimson red. Everyone looked shocked. Yes, even those bystanders. A fight was happening... "Not even close." Sunset said grimly. She and Rainbow Dash charged at each other, yelling. They both threw a punch, and created a shockwave when they collided! Some sand flew. This was the beginning of an intense battle... Author's Note Posted in a day? Get outta here!
Forgotten Friendship Pt. 2As previously stated... Rainbow Dash and Sunset just clashed with fists. Rainbow Dash was fairly surprised... But kept on the offensive. Now she was throwing a barrage of punches. Since she was much faster than Sunset, Sunset had no choice but to block with her arms. But she had to keep moving them since Rainbow Dash was at least ten times faster. 'Oh what the heck...!?' She thought. With each punch, Sunset's defenses crumbled bit by bit. If she kept blocking, eventually, it would just break. So she improvised... In a few moments, she bent over quickly. Rainbow Dash just missed a punch, and that threw her off balance. "Whoa!" She said. "There!" Sunset yelled. Sunset came right back up with a blazing uppercut! By that, I mean her fist was covered in yellow aura that looked firey. She got Rainbow Dash right in the stomach! She also jumped up as she did it, so once she stopped moving upwards, Rainbow Dash finally started flying away. Soon, Rainbow Dash curled into a ball and flipped numerous times. She landed a good two meters in front of her friends. "What the heck?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Dang, that was fierce..." Sunset said, shaking her wrist. 'My arms actually hurt...' She thought. "How'd you do that?" Rainbow Dash asked. "First she ponies up like us, and she has a lot of power!" Pinkie said. "Then let's join." Applejack said, ponying up herself. She jumped to Rainbow Dash's side. "Okey dokey lokey!" Pinkie said, doing the same thing. She ponied up, and then jumped to Rainbow Dash's other side. "Wha- That's not fair!" Sunset yelled. "Since when do you play fair?" Pinkie asked. "Since we became friends!" Sunset said. "Yeah. Never." Rainbow Dash said. Sunset groaned. "Why can't you remember!? What about Hirudegarn and Tapion?" She asked. "Who?" The three asked. Sunset just stood there with a confused expression. "Uh... W-Well, what about Broly?" She asked. "Broccoli? I hate vegetables!" Pinkie said, crossing her arms. ... "...Remember Rilldo and planet M-2? The place Giru came from...?" Sunset asked. "No, Giru came from- Wait... Uh..." Twilight said. "Where did you come from again...?" She asked Giru. "Giru! Data lost! Giru!" Giru said. "...Huh." Twilight said. "...We're just gonna start now." Applejack said. "Dang it..." Sunset said, defeated. Applejack and Pinkie darted at Sunset. "Uh oh." Sunset said, jumping up and back into the air. The two threw punches, but missed. They looked up in confusion. 'No time to be sad...! Can I even run away!?' Sunset thought. "How in the hay did she learn that too?" Applejack asked. 'Well, I could just play keep away until Go- Oh. Right.' Sunset thought. Rainbow Dash came darting at her with incomprehensible speed. She punched Sunset right in the cheek! Now, she was sent diagonally downwards... But she was sent really far. Sunset managed to recover beforehand, and stopped herself before landing. She stopped two inches above the ground. Some people gasped. "Please stop!" Sunset said. Rainbow Dash came down at her with a wound up fist. 'Well, might as well...' Sunset thought. Rainbow Dash threw her heavy punch! ...But it phased through Sunset...? And smashed into the ground! Sand flew everywhere. Then her afterimage vanished. "What the!?" Rainbow Dash asked, standing up normally. "Please stop!" Sunset said, her afterimage appearing behind Rainbow Dash. Pinkie threw a punch right through her, too. Then another afterimage appeared behind her. "I really don't want to hurt you!" That afterimage said. Rainbow Dash tried punching that one too. Now everyone in the beach was watching. The bystanders just looked in awe. At this point, with the afterimages, they just thought it was a show or an act, not real. Then the real Sunset appeared. "I'm not trying t-" As soon as that happened, Applejack punched her right in the cheek. CRACK! Sunset flew a few feet before landing. Blood came out from her mouth. She got on one knee... "Heh. She's a tough one." Applejack said. Sunset looked up at the three. "...Please stop..." She said. She wiped her mouth to get rid of the blood. "...Nah." Pinkie said. "That's not really nice..." Sunset said. "Karma." Rainbow Dash said. "I already got a mouthful of that a while ago." Sunset said, standing up. "...And I think my skull is fractured." She said. "I doubt the first one." Applejack said. 'I can't heal myself, and that sucks.' Sunset thought. Wow, everyone on the beach is just staring at this. Would you look at that? And they're not even doing anything! 'I may as well run... Hopefully I can get away from Rainbow Dash...' She thought. 'Okay, try #2!' She thought. Aimed her fingers at her face... "Solar..." She said. "Cover your eyes!" Pinkie said. She smashed two cupcakes into her face. They had sprinkles. "FLARE!" Sunset yelled, unleashing a blinding light. She instantly flew up and backwards, keeping the light there for two seconds. Then she stopped, flying backwards. "Okay! Now I can- Crapbaskets." She said. Rainbow Dash was flying in at her. Sunset crossed her arms in front of her to block the incoming punch. She tried retaliating with a punch herself, but Rainbow Dash punched her in the face before her attack connected. Sunset was sent flying for a moment. She kept the momentum, and Rainbow Dash flew after her. "How'd she... Whatever." Sunset said. Suddenly, she split into two, with one falling down and the other still flying away. The falling one had her hands cupped together. "Pinkie." Applejack said. "Say no more!" Pinkie said, still having frosting and sprinkles on her face. She can see now. She jumped up. Rainbow Dash threw a punch at the flying Sunset. That was an afterimage. "Sorry about this! Kamehameha!" Sunset yelled, firing a blue blast at Rainbow Dash. The bystanders were just like- "Ooh! Aah!" The lifeguard didn't even care about it, she thought it was a neat show. Rainbow Dash was directly hit, and was engulfed in smoke. THEN people started screaming. They all started taking this seriously JUST now. "TERRORISTS!" A girl screamed. "RUN!" A boy screamed. The bystanders all started running away from the beach... It's funny how they just started deciding to care. ~~"Terrorists!~~ ~~Wait, I can't sense them! Probably because I don't have that ability!~~ ~~Androids! Androiderists! Terroroids!~~ ~~Guys! We have a bad case of terroroids!"~~ 'Great, now we're scaring everyone away! Now, I have to-' Pinkie came spinning horizontally at Sunset in a parabola direction. Or a curve. 'Come on...!' Sunset thought. She crossed her arms again, and Pinkie punched her arms. Sunset was pushed diagonally downwards. 'Well, that worked.' She thought. Then there was a pink glow in front of her. "What is th-" BOOM! Sunset was pushed away even more! And now she's not even above the beach, she's above the rocks beside the beach. "Exploding sprinkles!" Pinkie yelled with a giant smile. She pulled another sprinkle off her face and hurled it at Sunset. Sunset fired a red blast at the sprinkle, and it exploded. By now, everyone got in their cars or just got off the beach. Even the lifeguard, jeez. It's like a state of emergency. Applejack was coming from the side, so she dodged an incoming punch. Sunset quickly flew back to the beach, and was above the rest of the Humane 7. "This is stupid!" She said to herself. Now she saw all three of them coming at her again. 'Where the hell is Gohan!? I am going to die!' Sunset thought. *** Gohan's still being a depressed little shit. Laying in bed... '...I feel like I'm forgetting something... Or somebody.' He thought. Then Twilight came into the room. "Gohan...?" She asked. ... "...What are you doing here...?" Gohan asked. "...I have a message from Sunset..." Twilight said. "Sunset?" Gohan asked. 'Crapbaskets.' He thought. He jerked awake and sat up. "...Huh. Anyway, she wants you to come to the beach...?" Twilight asked. Gohan grabbed his book from under his bed. "Crap, crap, crap, crap!" He said, ignoring Twilight. There are a lot of messages... "Oh no... I haven't talked to her in weeks! And yesterday was the first day of school!" Gohan said. But the latest one really got him scared. "An emergency...!? Double crapbaskets!" He said. "Wait, what?" Twilight asked. Gohan was gone. He popped away. ... "Did... Did I... Did I just get him up?" Twilight asked. ... "Eh." Twilight started trotting away. *** Sunset was now on the ground, blocking as much as she could. Rainbow Dash, Applejack, and Pinkie Pie were ALL rushing her with fists and kicks. 'WHY!?' She thought. It didn't last long, then Pinkie tripped her with a lower roundhouse kick. Then Rainbow Dash punched her right in the face. And finally, Applejack punched her in the stomach at the same time. Sunset was sent flying for a bit before rolling all over the sand. It's a coincidental thing the whole beach was gone except for our seven girls. ... "...That's pretty brutal..." Fluttershy said, actually feeling bad for Sunset. "I find it hard to watch, but she deserves it for all she's done..." Rarity said. "I don't know..." Fluttershy and Twilight said. Sunset was down, really. "D...Darn it..." She muttered. Rainbow Dash walked up to her. She aimed her palm at Sunset, a yellow blast forming. Sunset barely managed to open her eyes. Then... "You leave my girl alone!" Then Gohan darted in, ramming his elbow into Rainbow Dash's stomach. Les gasps! Rainbow Dash coughed. Sand flew everywhere. Rainbow Dash was sent all the way back to her friends, dragging her feet across the ground. She hunched over, grabbing her stomach. "Ow...!" She said. "I'm about to tear you a new- Wait..." Gohan said, serious at first, but now confused. "I completely forgot who I was dealing with..." He said. Then he was actually looking at his friends. He covered his eyes with his hands. "I also forgot that you were at the beach..." He added. Author's Note I know it was a one-sided and relatively random battle, but it was 3 vs 1 and... I tried. Sorry, I suck.
Forgotten Friendship Pt. 3Back to where we were before... Gohan was covering his eyes with his hands. "Er... W-Why are you covering your eyes?" Rarity asked. "Huh? Because you guys are in... Well, revealing outfits..." He said. "But we're in swimsuits." Applejack said. "Yeah." Gohan said. ... "...And?" He asked. "It's difficult to take you seriously when you refuse to look at us." Rarity said. "But I can't look." Gohan said. ~~"I'm part of the Super Virgin Squad."~~ "Just look at us already!" Everyone yelled. Gohan caved in and removed his hands. "Are you happy?" He asked. "Yeah." Rarity said. "Okay, I might not seem angry, but I am actually ready to explode." Gohan said. Rainbow Dash stood up again... "You got a cheap shot in, no fair!" She said. "What? You just went three on one against her, how is that fair?" Gohan asked. "How do you know?" Pinkie asked. "You three ponied up, it's clear." Gohan said. "Whatever." Rainbow Dash said. "Why did you do that to her?" Gohan asked. "She was a real bother, coming up with weird fantasies about us being friends. She even mentioned someone named Gohan?" Rarity said. "Uh... That's me?" Gohan asked. "Wait, you're Gohan?" Applejack asked. "You don't remember me?" Gohan asked. "We never knew you to begin with." Pinkie said. Gohan sighed. 'I guess this affects me too...' He thought. "I taught you how to fly and use ki, how do you not remember me?" He asked. "Like Pinkie said, we never knew you. We learned our stuff by... Er..." Applejack said, putting a hand to her chin. "Who did we get this by again?" Rainbow Dash asked. Everyone shrugged and went: "I dunno." Uh... Some red stuff came out from Sunset's head... It flew away, and nobody happened to notice. It wasn't blood... "Uh... We don't remember who taught us how to do awesome things?" Pinkie asked. "It was me!" Gohan said. "Yeah, right!" Rainbow Dash said. "I'm the one who taught you moves like the Kamehameha!" Gohan said. "Well, we do know that..." Twilight said. "...But we don't remember you teaching it to us." Applejack said. "I was going to teach you about sensing ki for our next session..." Gohan said. "Not ringing any bells... Sorry." Fluttershy said. "I even know all your names! I've only been gone for two weeks, how have you forgotten me?" Gohan asked. "Name them!" Pinkie challenged. "Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Fluttershy, and Twilight Sparkle, there." Gohan said. ... "That sounds creepy." Rarity said. "Are you a creep?" Pinkie asked. Gohan sighed. 'Looks like I'm a victim now...' He thought. Then Gohan turned to Sunset and knelt down. "Are you alright...?" He asked. ...No response. 'I can still feel her ki, so she's alive...' He thought. He looked over his shoulder. "I'm just going to take her and get out of here, if you don't mind..." He said. He stood up and walked over to her bag. He picked that up. "Wha- Are you seriously just leaving!?" Rainbow Dash asked. Gohan now walked over to Sunset's side. "Uh, yeah." He said. "Hold on, you can't just leave with that cheap shot!" Rainbow Dash said, holding a fist up. "I really don't want to fight right now. Like I said, you've made me mad, but I don't want to bring it out on y-" Rainbow Dash threw a punch, and he caught it with a hand! It was instant... She didn't finish, she threw a kick! Gohan dodged by ducking. He also let go of her fist. Rainbow Dash then threw another punch at him. Gohan blocked with his arm. "Stop it already!" He said. Rainbow Dash grinned as she jumped up high. That revealed Applejack and Pinkie charging yellow and pink blasts respectively. "Hraaagh!" They yelled, firing the twin blast. "Why!?" He asked. Instead of firing back, he instinctively grabbed Sunset bridal style and ran out of the way. With the bag around his shoulder... With each swift step, he kicked tons of sand. The twin blast blew up and also made sand fly everywhere. Gohan looked behind him to see Rainbow Dash coming down at him. She held a chop. "That is it!" He yelled. He turned to Rainbow Dash. "I'm done! Haaa!" He yelled. Gohan made his aura flare, and turned into a Super Saiyan! His aura was huge as he yelled... The aura pushed Rainbow Dash back! "Whoa!" She said, losing her footing in the air. She backflipped because of the push. But she safely landed by her friends. Gohan made sand fly everywhere, too, so everyone covered their eyes. As if the light wasn't enough. Eventually, his aura turned to normal, and then died. His yelling stopped. The sand stopped flying everywhere. The rest of the Humane 7 looked at the Super Saiyan. "I'm not fighting you. If you come at me again, I'm going to really fight back." Gohan said grimly. "Pfft. A hair change won't do anything!" Rainbow Dash said. "Why are you even helping her anyway?" Pinkie asked. "What? She's my friend." Gohan said. 'Well, girlfriend, but I don't want to be yelled at even more.' He thought. "What? She has friends?" Rainbow Dash asked. Gohan growled. "Ooh! He's getting angry!" Pinkie said like it was a completely normal sentence. Then he sighed. "I'm not fighting you, end of story." He said. He put two fingers to his head. "See you at school." He said. Then he vanished. Everyone was confused. "What the... Where'd he go?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Uh..." Everyone said. ... "...Am I the only one noticing that this entire place is deserted?" Twilight asked. ... "...I think you were." Pinkie said. "So this guy also heads to CHS?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Well, he did say he'd see us at school..." Rarity said. "Then I'll get him for that cheap shot there!" Rainbow Dash said. "Just let it go already..." Fluttershy said uncharacteristically. "What?" Rainbow Dash asked. "We didn't need to hurt Sunset Shimmer that badly... And he was just protecting his friend from being hurt again..." Fluttershy said. ... "...That's a fair point..." Rarity said. "Ugh... Fine, but if he gets another one like that again, I'll get him instantly!" Rainbow Dash said, clenching her fist. "We should probably get off the beach now..." Twilight said. *** Well, back to in front of that portal... Nobody was at school, so... Gohan laid Sunset on the top of a step... He wasn't a Super Saiyan anymore. He knelt beside her. "Okay, now Sunset... If you're listening..." He said, reaching into his trusty pouch... "You need to open your mouth, and I'm going to put a senzu bean in there. Eat it, and all the pain will go away... Okay?" He asked, holding the bean with two fingers. Well, Sunset was obviously listening, so she slightly opened her mouth. 'Oh. I guess she's listening.' Gohan thought. He put the bean in her mouth, and... Chewing, chewing... Gulp... Then Sunset slightly opened her eyes. Gohan sighed. "Thank goodness, you're okay..." He said. Once she blinked a few times, she finally noticed Gohan... She recognized him through his head. And... "Dah!" She yelped, surprised as hell. She jolted up and sat up. She looked a little scared... "Sunset? Is something wrong?" Gohan asked. "W-What are you doing here...!?" Sunset asked, now clearly scared. "Huh? You asked me to come and help you..." Gohan said. "When...?" Sunset asked. "You sent me a message through your book, remember?" Gohan asked, taking the bag and opening it. He took the book out and flipped to the certain page. "See?" He asked, showing Sunset. Sunset took the book. She skimmed through the message. "Huh...? I don't remember sending you that... But I do remember my friends forgetting about me..." She said. "Huh. Do you remember them beating you up?" Gohan asked. "Yeah..." Sunset said, closing the book. "Well, I saved you." Gohan said. "Wait, you?" Sunset asked, pointing at Gohan. "Uh... Yes." Gohan said. "I'm sorry, who are you?" Sunset asked. Then it hit Gohan... 'Sunset forgot about me, too...' He thought. "Crapbaskets." He said. Author's Note Oh no! Sunset forgot Gohan! Shit! How will they prevail like this!? Why am I still not done with those damn Season 3 edits!? It's at over 18k words... And I haven't gotten to the last story of that one yet. Kill me.
Forgotten Friendship Pt. 4"Crapbaskets." Gohan said. "What?" Sunset asked. "Listen... As if my day hasn't gotten any worse... This is kinda hard to believe, but... You're also affected by memory loss..." He said. "What? How do you know?" Sunset asked. "We were friends." Gohan said. "What?" Sunset asked. "I said, we were friends." Gohan said. ... "...I don't believe you. You beat the living heck out of me at the Fall Formal." Sunset said. "I did, but we became friends. I forgave you for trying to kill me. You're going to read my mind, but you can't read my mind unless I'm unconscious, bu- What did I just say?" Gohan asked. Sunset had grabbed his arm... ... "Wait, why can't I...?" She asked. "It's like I said, you can't read my mind unless I'm unconscious." Gohan said. "Wait... How did you know I could read minds?" Sunset asked, taking her hand back. "Because we knew each other, Sunset. I'm your friend." Gohan said. 'I really don't want her to think I'm a creep by telling her I'm her boyfriend...' He thought. Sunset was just confused. "Wait, if I add more power into it..." She said, trying once more to read his mind. "Your forehead will explode, don't." Gohan said, moving back. "How do you know that?" Sunset asked. "Camp Everfree, you tried it." Gohan said. "Hmm... I don't see how you could know any of this stuff..." Sunset said. "Unless your mind is also being messed with. Our friends don't even remember me existing..." Gohan said. "Well... I still remember you for defeating me..." Sunset said. Gohan snapped his fingers. "Yeah, that's it!" He said. "What's it?" Sunset asked. "You remember me a little, but our friends don't in the slightest." Gohan said. "Huh..." Sunset said. "We don't really have a clue as to what to do here... But we might as well make the best of it." Gohan said. "I'm Gohan, if you didn't remember that." He said. "I didn't... But you're not going to kill me, right?" Sunset asked. "No. Look, we were very close friends, Sunset." Gohan said. "Prove it." Sunset said. "I just did." Gohan said. "I need more proof." Sunset said. "You represent magic alongside Twilight." Gohan said. "Not enough." Sunset said. "You love making Asian food." Gohan said. "More." Sunset said. "You feel utterly horrible for deceiving your current friends and splitting them apart a few years ago." Gohan said. "Everyone knows that." Sunset said. "You like to be a big spoon in relationships." Gohan said. "Wait, how did you...?" Sunset asked, blushing. 'Ugh... I went too far.' Gohan thought. "Only friends know each others' secrets, Sunset." He said. "Well... Y-You... Uh..." Sunset said. There was no other explanation for how he knew all this shit... Well, except that last one. He had to be something more. She did have her doubts about the last one... ...But decided not to press further. "I... I guess we were friends..." She said. "Phew, thank goodness." Gohan said. 'I didn't want to be alone here...' He thought. "I guess misery loves company, considering they forgot you, too." He said. "Huh. That's strange... There's no way I can't believe you after all that." Sunset said. "Well, I'm glad you believe me." Gohan said. '...But I wish Goten was here... We'd be like Sherlock Holmes and John Watson!' He thought excitedly. ...But then he looked sad. "Are you okay?" Sunset asked. Then he snapped back to reality. "Sorry, I was just... Thinking." He said. "You looked a bit sad..." Sunset said. "I-It's nothing, I promise." Gohan lied. "Anyway... Do you have any idea as to what we should do...?" Sunset asked. "To figure out what's happening? I guess we could go to Twilight. I mean, Princess Twilight." Gohan said. "Yeah... That's a great idea! Wait, does she even remember me?" Sunset asked. "She's the one who told me to come here for you, so..." Gohan said. "Oh, good. Well, we just need to be sure... Can you give me my bag?" Sunset asked. Gohan did just that, handing it over to her. Sunset pulled out the trusty book to Twilight! A pen, and... She opened the book, flipped right to a new page. "Dear Princess Twilight..." She said aloud as she wrote. "This is gonna sound crazy, but... Are we friends? Am I nice?" She said and wrote. "Well, I could answer yes to both of them for you." Gohan said. "Thanks..." Sunset said. ... Waiting, waiting... ... Is she gonna answer anytime soon? Wait, yes, the book started writing itself. "Of course we're friends!" Twilight wrote. Sunset sighed in relief. "What'd she say?" Gohan asked. "She remembers." Sunset said. "Great, now let's ask her if she can help us." Gohan said. Then Twilight wrote again. "Are you okay? What's going on?" She asked. "Kinda hard to explain... Might be easier in person. Well, not 'person,' so to speak." Sunset wrote. "So...?" Gohan asked. "Well, I guess we should head to Equestria. Twilight's going to help." Sunset said. *** "What do you mean he just got out of bed like that?" Goku asked. He was with Twilight in the castle... They were in front of the portal. "He just got right out of bed. I just mentioned Sunset Shimmer, and just like that, he just left." Twilight said. "I probably should've thought of that... Maybe I shouldn't use baits that only attract me. Like food." Goku said. *** Let's recap all the things Goku tried to get Gohan out of bed. First attempt... Outside the door. "Gohan! I have chahan!" Goku yelled. It's fried rice. ... "I also have pork dumplings!" Goku said. ... "Ramen?" Goku asked. ... "...It's soy!" Goku said. ... He didn't have any of this shit, by the way. *** Second attempt... Goku burst into the house, acting as if something was happening. "Gohan! Hurry! There's a monster destroying the city!" He yelled. "Then why don't you handle it?" Gohan asked. "I tried, and I can't do it alone!" Goku said. "Then how come you aren't injured in any shape or form? And I can't sense the monster?" Gohan asked. ... Goku tried coming up with a reason, but... "Uh... It... Ah, dang it!" He yelled, walking out the door. He closed it. *** Third attempt... Outside... "Gohan! Let's go fishing! I found a pond nearly a thousand miles away with Paozu tuna! Let's have a competition!" Goku said. ... "I don't wanna go." Gohan said from the inside, a bit muffled. "Come on!" Goku said. ... "...Please? I don't want to go alone." Goku said. ... That didn't work. *** Attempt number ???. Goku got desperate. Outside... Goku tried doing his Chi Chi impression. But it ended up sounding like a high pitched Goku. "Gohan! This is your mother! Come outside this instant, and study in front of me!" 'Chi Chi' said. "Dad, I know it's you." Gohan said from the inside, still muffled. "I am your mother! You will be grounded if you don't come outside this instant!" 'Chi Chi' said. "That doesn't even sound like her!" Gohan said. "I'm trying my best to be a father, Gohan!" Goku said, dropping the act. "I knew it!" Gohan said. "Uh... Ooh! Look! The... Uh... Grand Super Mega Ultra Human Shenron is here! He's holding a sign, saying if you come outside, he'll bring your mother here OR a million dollars!" Goku said desperately. "That doesn't make any sense, there's only bits here." Gohan said. "Are you saying you don't want your mother!?" Goku asked. "No!" Gohan said. Goku tried putting words in his mouth to get him to come outside... "You'd rather take a million dollars than your mother here!? She might be worth less than a million dollars to you, but to me she's worthless!" Goku said. ... "Okay, I realize how wrong my last sentence was, but we both know that I'm not good at this." Goku said. "You lost all credibility." Gohan said. *** Anyway... "I think you should seize the moment and really talk to him about this. Just in case he starts this again..." Twilight said. "Don't worry, I got this. I know exactly what to tell him..." Goku said. 'Machine wash cold, then tumble dry! Oh, wait, that was what Chi Chi told me with my laundry. And I messed that up.' He thought. Then the portal started glowing purple... "There he is... Well, and she." Goku said. Then the two came in... Sunset was standing on her backhooves. "Twilight! And..." She said, looking at Goku. "Ohh! So that's what she looks like as a pony!" Goku said. "Sunset?" Twilight asked. Then Sunset realized that she was standing. She tried moving, but then fell down to her forehooves. Twilight caught her by the forehooves. "Whoops... I was trying to hug you." Sunset said. So then they hugged. 'I wish I had a hug...' Gohan thought. "Hey, Gohan!" Goku said. "Er... Y-Yeah, Dad?" Gohan asked. "I need to talk to you in private, so..." Goku said, appearing beside Gohan. He put a hand on his shoulder and they popped away. "Well, they're gone." Twilight said. Then the hug broke. "What?" Sunset asked, turning around. "I could've sworn I saw Gohan behind me, and the larger person in front of me..." She said. "Wait, he isn't a pony?" She added. "Wait, you don't know Goku? I thought you told me you met him." Twilight said. "What?" Sunset asked, genuinely confused. "We'll deal with it later... So, tell me what's been happening." Twilight said. *** Well, let's cut to the father-son talk... At home. "Gohan, what are you going to do after you fix whatever you're doing?" Goku asked. "Uh... Go to school...?" Gohan asked. "...And?" Goku asked. "I don't understand." Gohan said. "Are you going to stop moping about Goten is my real question." Goku said. "I'm surprised you know what that means." Gohan said. "That's beside the point. Answer." Goku said. ... "...No comment." Gohan said. "Wrong answer." Goku said. ... "...What do you want me to say!?" Gohan asked defensively. Goku sighed, putting a finger to his forehead. "This is going to take a lot longer than I thought..." He said. *** Now Sunset and Twilight were walking down the hall of the castle. "This is bad... It's way beyond anything I've ever heard of! Frieza was one thing, but memory loss is another." Twilight said. "Who?" Sunset asked. ... "...Did you lose part of your memory too?" Twilight asked. "Well, that's what Gohan says." Sunset said. "Ah... Anyway... I have an idea, one of the two ponies with the most wisdom! Or, three." Twilight said. Then Goku and Gohan finally came back. "We're back." Goku said. "So... How was it?" Twilight asked. "I think he gets it now." Goku said. Gohan chuckled nervously. "Yeah..." He said. The message was essentially: ~~"Grow the fuck up, you little bitch! We're all affected by Goten, stupid! You're the only one still bitching about him, when everyone else is capable of living normally!"~~ Okay, that's how Vegeta would've put it, but seriously, the message was: "Grow up. You're not alone in all this, so stop acting like you're the only one being hurt. You're not, Gohan. Look at me and your friends, we all miss him and we all wish we could've done something about it." That's the gist of it. Anyway... "We're heading to Princess Celestia..." Twilight said. "Wait, what!?" Sunset asked. You see, she lost her memory of pretty much anything to do with Gohan... Which means the Frieza battle and crap. "Okay, I'm heading home. Good luck, you three." Goku said. "Okay..." Gohan said. Then Goku popped away. ... "So, I guess I'm taking us there?" Gohan asked. "Don't we have any... Better options...?" Sunset asked. "What? Why?" Gohan and Twilight asked. "I can literally teleport us there in an instant." Gohan said. "No, no, that's not what I meant!" Sunset said. "Then what do you mean?" Twilight asked. "You know... For words of wisdom...?" Sunset asked. "What? Why not Princess Celestia? I mean, we have Star Swirl the Bearded, but..." Twilight said. "I haven't apologized to her." Sunset said. "You already made up with her." Gohan said. "What? I don't remember ever doing that..." Sunset said. "Ohh..." Both Gohan and Twilight said. "You lost your memory of that, too..." Twilight said. "You could act as if you did make up with her, if you're still unsure." Gohan said. "I suppose...?" Sunset asked. "I mean... I think we should just look at her library." Twilight said. "Well, maybe Princess Celestia has some extra advice or something, so we should go to her first." Gohan said. *** Well, throne room. The Royal Sisters were just chilling... They half closed their eyes because they're tired. They usually just sit there all day, today is no different. When you do nothing, you're tired. It's not because they smoke weed. There are guards in front of them, but they just stand there, too. ... Well this is boring. Why am I even writing about thi- Oh, right, the plot. Then Twilight, Sunset and Gohan all appeared out from nowhere in front of the princesses. Well, our only two guards were shocked and quick to take action because there is absolutely nothing to do 90% of the time. They aimed their spears at the three. "Hold it." Celestia said. The guards backed away once they realized who was there. Being at the presence of her old teacher, and losing her memory... Yeah, Sunset doesn't feel right about this. "Twilight Sparkle, Son Gohan, Sunset Shimmer..." Celestia said. "What brings you three here so abruptly...?" Luna asked. "Why is Sunset Shimmer acting nervous?" Celestia asked. "Okay, so..." Twilight said. "To sum it up shortly..." Gohan said. "In the mirror world, some sort of magic or something happened to erase parts of everyone's memory of the good Sunset, and everyone can't even remember my name." He said. "Interesting..." Celestia said. "To answer the next question, Sunset Shimmer forgot about making up with you." Twilight said. "Oh. Sunset Shimmer, don't hesitate to be casual with us, we're all friends." Celestia said. Sunset sighed. "That's a relief..." She said. Celestia and Luna stepped down from their thrones. They went down to the three. "I am not familiar of the exact spell that could've altered you and your friends' memories, but it sounds like Equestrian magic is at work in your world." Celestia said. "Numerous times, but pales in comparison to other things." Gohan said. "I think that figment of my memory is gone, can you explain?" Sunset asked. "Where do I start? Hirudegarn, Broly, Planet M-2, and Imecka, we had tons of adventures!" Gohan said. "Not ringing any bells." Sunset said. "Well, that's a bust." Gohan said. "The toilings of this nefarious enchantment could portend unimaginable catastrophe if left unchecked." Luna said. Sunset couldn't help but snicker... Luna had to look at her quizzically. ... "...Sorry, I'm just used to you saying: 'No student parking in the faculty lot.'" Sunset said, giggling a bit. "This 'faculty lot' you speak of sounds like it is a place of great power..." Luna said. ... Gohan couldn't help but snicker now. Now Luna looked at him quizzically. "I'm so sorry, but- Heheh... It's just a parking space, where you park a vehicle..." Gohan said. "Oh." Luna said. "The answers you seek are in the Canterlot Library." Celestia said. "Do we have to read every book in there?" Gohan asked excitedly. "If you'd like..." Luna said. Gohan and Twilight both squealed. Sunset was confused about Gohan. *** Our five went to the library. Stepping into the library... Sunset wasn't so confident in the search. "There's over a million books in here..." Sunset said. "I wish! But, don't worry!" Twilight said, hugging Sunset with one hoof. "You're looking at somepony who's looking at this place like the back of her hoof!" She said excitedly. Now, looking at Gohan... He was just having a nerdgasm, don't mind him... "So many books...!" He muttered, drooling at the sight of the massive library. "Is... he going to be okay?" Sunset asked. "He's just excited, don't worry." Twilight said. "For what?" Sunset asked. "Reading! One of my favorite hobbies! Maybe because I was forced to do it when I was much smaller, but now I love it!" Gohan said. "Really? Aren't superheroes usually illiterate?" Sunset asked. "Well, that's my dad." Gohan said. "I don't get it." Sunset said. "Wait, where are you going, Princess Celestia?" Twilight asked. Both she and Luna were trotting somewhere... "To the restricted section." Celestia said. "There's a... A..." Twilight barely spoke. She kept taking huge breaths. Even Gohan was taken aback. But... "Oh come on! I didn't get to read at least a quarter of the books in the unrestricted section!" He complained. "Why are you complaining about that many books!?" Sunset asked. "You see, if you remembered me, you'd understand." Gohan said. "I mean, you two were pretty close." Twilight said. "How close, exactly...?" Sunset asked. Gohan blushed and instantly looked away from Sunset. '...Weird.' Sunset thought. Gohan rushed to the princesses to avoid the awkwardness. Then our other two followed. Well, bookshelves... The two princesses used their magic to pull on two books pertaining to their cutie marks... And just like that it went to the side to reveal stairs downwards. Twilight was shocked... So shocked, that her jaw was wide open. Sunset shut it for her. Our group went down the stairs, and... And... Holy shit, it's like a second library! With golden swords and alchemy... And chests... And- This looks more like an armory. "Omigoshomigoshomigoshomigosh!" Twilight sputtered. "So many books...!" Gohan said excitedly, having yet another nerdgasm. He rushed to read a book on artifacts. "They're all unread! Ancient historical ARTIFACTS!" He yelled. Now he was just speaking gibberish, and reading a few books at the same time. Twilight also rushed to read some books. "Oh, this is where it gets GOOD!" She squealed. Sunset had a joke in mind... "Are you sure you're up for helping me with all this stuff?" She asked smugly. Apparently the super nerds didn't see her smug face and acted purely on instinct. They both rushed to hug her. "Don't take this away from me!" They pleaded at the same time. Sunset couldn't help but chuckle. Now the nerds flew all over the place, reading covers and such. "Look at this! There's another volume of Star Swirl the Bearded!?" Twilight asked. "There's two old freaking books on ki! I didn't even need to explain it to you!" Gohan said excitedly. Now the two were just speaking a bunch more gibberish. Sunset and Celestia both looked to each other and laughed at the absolute babble they listened to. Author's Note I managed to get this out, so... Hopefully you liked it...?
Forgotten Friendship Pt. 5After a long time of searching... Jesus Christ, this is taking forever. Sunset yawned. She closed a giant ass book. "Ugh... Did you know Chancellor Puddinghead tried to pass a law mandating Earth ponies drink carrot juice at every meal...? I do. Know that... Now." She said, clearly unenthusiastic. She was definitely tired. Gohan was reading another book. "I think we learned that in class once, but I think Puddinghead banned sodas too." He said. He was still pretty interested in the books... "Now I know that martial arts was banned in the 3rd century..." He added excitedly. This was helping to relieve stress. "Aww... Sounds like you two read the fun books!" Twilight said, still excited. ...But she was tired too, so she yawned. Sunset sighed in relief. "Aww... I was just learning about the reasoning behind the ban." Gohan said. "Well... I found something!" Twilight said excitedly. "Oh, good." Gohan said. Then Twilight brought a chest out from nowhere. "You're familiar with the 'Seven Trials of Clover the Clever,' right?" She asked. "Obviously." Both Gohan and Sunset said. "But why?" Sunset asked. Twilight opened the chest and it had a bunch of cobwebs. But she pulled out a scroll. "Well, first of all, these date back to before the founding of Equestria. Look at this." She said. Reading it... "The 'Memory Stone...'" Sunset said. "I'd be willing to guess that's our problem here." Gohan said. "It belonged to an evil sorceress that was practically invincible! With the memory stone, she could erase any memory from anypony. Even fragments of memories." Twilight said. "Fragments like... Memories of me being nice?" Sunset asked. "And me not existing... At all?" Gohan asked. "Yep. Clover the Clever knew the sorceress had to be stopped and the memory stone destroyed, so he chased her across land and sea. But every time he got close, the sorceress would erase his memory and escape. But he kept finding her." Twilight said. "How?" Sunset asked. "These scraps of parchment. He secretly wrote everything down, and where to go next! Like a trail of bread crumbs." Twilight said. "I'm still having trouble as to why I'm not affected at all, even though I was there." Gohan said. "Maybe you're too strong for it. Magic doesn't affect you so much because of your strength." Twilight said. "It is true your magic doesn't work..." Gohan said. "What happened on the other side of this portal?" Sunset asked, moving the scroll. Then the rest was just ripped off. "Dang. It's missing." Gohan said. "Clover must've hid it to keep anypony else from finding the memory stone!" Twilight said. "That's clever..." Gohan said. Then Sunset saw that... "Clover the- Yeah, whatever." She said, no longer excited. "What if the memory stone ended up in the Other World?" Twilight asked. "Don't you mean the Mirror World?" Gohan asked. "What's the difference?" Twilight asked. "Afterlife and a new dimension." Gohan said. "Oh, right." Twilight said. "What?" Sunset asked. "This guy's been to hell just to fight a monster, he knows what he's talking about." Twilight said. "Why do you have to tell others about that...?" Gohan asked. "I'm really starting to be glad we aren't enemies." Sunset said. "Back to the point... I don't know anyone who would want revenge on you, do you?" Twilight asked. Sunset shook her head. "Your memory wasn't altered, what about you?" She asked Gohan. "I really don't know, you used to get along with everyone at CHS." Gohan said. "You have to think of someone that despises me..." Sunset said. "...I really can't." Gohan said. "...Huh." Sunset said. "We might as well try to convince our friends that their minds are being screwed with." She said. "I doubt they'd believe us from just this excerpt." Gohan said. "Why wouldn't they?" Sunset asked. "Yeah, why wouldn't they?" Twilight asked. "Is this scroll all we're going to show?" Gohan asked. "Yeah." Sunset said. ... "...You know they'll just call it fake, right?" Gohan asked. "That... I... Crapbaskets." Sunset said. "Oh, you say that too, even when your memory's screwed with." Gohan said. "Maybe I should write a note?" Twilight asked. "They'll do the same thing." Gohan said. "I wanted to keep reading, ugh!" Twilight said. "Ugh, it doesn't help that they don't remember me..." Gohan said. "I mean, I also have photos on my phone, so... Let's try...?" Sunset asked. "Meh. Try for a zeni, we'll see how it goes." Gohan said. "What's a zeni?" Sunset asked. "...This is starting to get really annoying." Gohan said. "Ugh, tell me about it." Sunset said. "Oh, this is just the icing on the cake. There's more to this monster that loves to screw with me." Gohan said. Twilight felt bad for Gohan now... *** "Well, it's a good thing we found this other beach three towns over...!" Twilight said. That's exactly where they were. They already set up again, since it had been... Three... Maybe three and a half hours? "Yes, the previous incident didn't make it a cakewalk..." Rarity said, giving herself a tan. But for some fucking reason, she's the whitest person on the planet no mater what. Anyway... "Yeah! We've been out here for a while! Time to reapply!" Pinkie said cheerfully. She rubbed a cupcake all over her arms and face... Because it had edible sunscreen. Why does that exist? Then she ran off. ... "...I've been thinking..." Twilight said. "Should we be worried about Sunset Shimmer?" She asked. "Uh, duh!" A familiar voice said out of screen. Now that she's in screen, it's Trixie, also trying to get a tan. But remains as cyan as ever. "Worried she comes here! I was there at the other beach. I think it's a shame the way she's been treating you. First pretending to be your friend, then fighting you..." Trixie said. "I'm sure the fighting was our fault..." Twilight said. "Please. She's obviously up to something. Sunset thinks the whole school exists just to serve her." Trixie said. Now that we see the rest of the screen... Snips was fanning her with a giant leaf... Then Trixie snapped her fingers. "Water, please!" She demanded. Then Snails came in with a bottle of water, pouring some into her mouth. ...Even the girls notice the irony. "You know, seeing as how the yearbook president seems to be having a little identity crisis, I believe that means the Vice President takes over. And, why..." Trixie said. "You don't even need to finish that last sentence." Rarity said. "If this is your way of asking to be made 'The Greatest and Most Powerful,' the answer is no." She said. "Pfft. Whatever. I ask of it, and that's all." Trixie said. "Ugh, I'll think about it." Rarity said. "Thank you." Trixie said. *** The portal to the Mirror World... Now Sunset is human again. "You know, I was expecting to see a pony version of you." She said. "See, again, if you remembered me, you'd know all these obvious things." Gohan said. "How many obvious things, exactly?" Sunset asked. Gohan put ten fingers up... And also his tail. "More than this." He said. "H-Hold on, since when did you have a tail!?" Sunset asked, shocked. "Please, don't make me repeat myself..." Gohan said, putting everything down. "Can you just explain the tail, then?" Sunset asked. "It just popped out of nowhere, okay? I know I had one when I was a toddler, but someone yanked it out. It just came out of nowhere again, my endangered race had these." Gohan said. "Uh... Huh." Sunset said, confused. "Look, let's just go to our friends already." Gohan said. "I can sense them in that direction... Probably another beach." He said, pointing a finger. "How do yo- Nevermind." Sunset said. "Short answer to the next question, no, it isn't magic." Gohan said. "Huh." Sunset said. "Now, let's go!" Gohan said, jumping up, flying for a moment. He flew forward until he realized Sunset was not following him. He turned around. "Sunset? Aren't you coming?" He asked. "I can't fly." Sunset said. "What? How d- Ugh..." Gohan said, flying down to the ground again. "Do you want me to teleport us or fly us... I can do both." He said. 'This is just getting worse and worse, ugh!' He thought. "Well... I guess I would enjoy the scenic route..." Sunset said. "Then flying it is..." Gohan said. He walked up to Sunset. Then he flew two centimeters off the ground. Then he made himself horizontal, so he was like a platform. He aimed his hands, or fists forward. "Get on..." He muttered, clearly a bit annoyed. Not at the flight, just the other things in general. "Er... Should I just...?" Sunset asked. "Just sit on my smaller lower back, don't you touch my tail." Gohan said. "Okay." Sunset said, doing just that. This looks a bit suggestive, but don't you think of that stuff. "Okay, here we go..." Gohan said, slowly moving upwards. 'Did she get heavier? Did she ga- Oh, no, it's me, I've gotten weaker.' He thought. "Did you say something?" Sunset asked. "Huh? No." Gohan said. "I thought you said something about me being heavier. As if I gained weight." Sunset said, looking mildly annoyed. "I'm assuming you heard my thoughts, so let me clarify... Recently, I've been feeling a bit down, so I took a break from training, and I got weaker. I thought it was you, but clearly not." Gohan said. "Oh, okay..." Sunset said. Now they were at about 90 feet in the air. Sunset felt disoriented and scared of the height... So she clung on to his shirt. "I-It's a bit scary..." She said. "Don't worry, as long as you keep riding me, you'll feel great about it in a bit." Gohan said. ... ...Sunset had a mildly disgusted face on. Gohan could not see it, but the awkward silence made him scared. 'Did I say something weird?' He thought. "Yes, yes you did." Sunset said. "What did I say...?" Gohan asked. "Riding you? Seriously?" Sunset asked, annoyed at the unintentional sexual metaphor. "What's wrong with that? I'm your ride over to the beach." Gohan said. "No, it has another meaning!" Sunset said. "I could not imagine another meaning for the verb 'ride.'" Gohan said. "Are you innocent or something?" Sunset asked. "In what sense?" Gohan asked. "I give up. Let's just go." Sunset said. 'Either he's playing a prank on me, or he's genuinely innocent.' She thought. "I'm being literal, here, I don't take words metaphorically." He said. Now Gohan started flying forwards. At a reasonable pace of 20 miles per hour... ... "...Well, Canterlot looks wonderful from above." Sunset said, trying to start a conversation. "Yes, it does." Gohan said, ending it. ... More silence. ... *** Cool, they're playing volleyball... Rainbow Dash and Rarity versus Pinkie and Fluttershy. "I'm not holding back this time!" Rainbow Dash yelled, holding the ball. She's like an anime character... "That's what I'm afraid of..." Fluttershy said, trembling. "Bring it on, Rainbow Dash!" Pinkie yelled. She pulled down on the net... "You and Rarity just bought your team a one way ticket on the express train to 'You're Going DOWN!'" She yelled, having a mean face. ~~Ginyu Force's Bizarre Adventure~~ "Ooh! Nice game face, Pinkie Pie!" Rainbow Dash said. "Thanks! I've been practicing all day!" Pinkie said, suddenly losing the face. She grabbed Giru, who trembled in fear of the picture taking. "Isn't that right, Giru!? You're in MY house now!" She yelled into his camera. "Giru! Giru!" Giru said, opening a compartment for a fucking machine gun. "Dah!" Pinkie yelped, throwing him aside. "No more pictures! Giru!" Giru said. He was clearly trying to cry, but he can't. "Now, when did ya put that in?" Applejack asked. "I never did, it was always a part of him." Twilight said. "Oh well. Game on!" Rainbow Dash yelled, hitting the ball. Fluttershy being Fluttershy, she shielded her head with her hands, so it bounced off. Pinkie saved the ball by smacking it into the net, but she saved it again by smacking it over the net this time. Rainbow Dash tried to get the ball, but since she didn't activate her super speed... She missed. And she fell on her back. Then Gohan came... For some reason, giving Sunset a piggyback ride. She got off instantly, brushing herself off. "Great news, guys! I figured it out!" She said. The rest of the Humane 7 just looked at her funny, and Rainbow Dash got up. "Someone's erased yours and my memory with Equestrian magic! You don't remember, but we're still friends!" Sunset said. "Why were you on his back...?" Twilight asked. "Ugh, it got stupid after the first twenty seconds." Gohan said. He looked a bit grumpy. "How so...?" Rarity asked. *** In the air... "Did you do this stuff with us before?" Sunset asked. "Only once, but just so you all could make it to the Battle of the Bands." Gohan said. "Really? I don't remember any of tha- Oh, crap, Canadian goose!" Sunset said. "What?" Gohan asked, looking ahead. There was a goose flying... "Look out, eh!" He said casually. "Wait, since when did geese talk-" Gohan asked, before the goose squawked as it hit Sunset. The goose was flapping and spazzing out all over Sunset's face, bothering the fuck outta her. Sunset let go of Gohan to try and get the goose off her face... "Gah! Son of a- Get off me!" She yelled. But she tried a bit too much and ended up falling off Gohan. She started screaming in fear of becoming a tomato. The goose flew off, though. She even closed her eyes. "Crapbaskets...!" Gohan said, darting down for her. 'I'll just catch her and- No, that's a little too forward, just catch her with your back.' He thought. Suddenly, Sunset stopped falling... She wrapped her arms around something warm... Something like a neck. I mean, a neck. Once she actually opened her eyes, she realized she was hugging his neck. She was slanting on his back. "Are you okay?" Gohan asked. Sunset still panicked, slightly yelling and kicking her feet. Gohan sighed as he grabbed the back of her knees. So now it's a piggyback ride. She blushed. "Don't worry, I won't let you fall." Gohan said. "Y-You promise?" Sunset asked. "Yes, Sunset, I promise." Gohan said with a reassuring smile. Of course, Sunset only saw like 30% of it. "Okay, I'm trusting you..." She said. 'It feels weird...' She thought. *** ... "That was..." Pinkie said. "Strange...?" Rainbow Dash asked. "You're telling me." Gohan said, crossing his arms. ... "...Anyway..." Sunset said, reaching into her bag. She pulled out a fucking picture of the memory stone... "This is the memory stone. Do you recognize it...?" She asked. Nobody seemed to be buying it. "I'll handle it..." Gohan said, taking the paper. "We went to the Pony World to see Princess Twilight about the issue. After a few hours of research, we concluded that someone must've used the memory stone. It's magic at play, and it messed with all of your memories. Even Sunset's, because you all happened to forget about me, and she forgot how to fly all of a sudden." Gohan explained. ... "Look..." Sunset said, pulling out her phone. She showed her photos with the keyboard covering half the screen. Friendship photos... Aww... "See? This is proof! We are friends! And- Holy..." She said, actually looking at one of the photos. She didn't show this one, but... It was a selfie of cuddling? With Gohan? "I do not remember this photo in the slightest." She said. "What photo?" Gohan asked. "Nevermind." Sunset said, changing the photo. "Eh... I'm not really buying into this." Rarity said. "Please." Trixie said. Now the attention was turned to her... With Snips and Snails carrying her shit for her. "This is the same girl who made flawless fake photos of your friend trashing the gym!" Trixie said. "Yeah, wait a minute!" Pinkie said, taking the phone. The photo was a photo of Pinkie making a stupid face. "Is THIS supposed to be me making such a ridiculous face? Ha! I'd never fake a face like THAT!" She said, making the same exact stupid damn face. "Preposterous! Fake, I say!" She said. "You're just saying that to appeal to what you want to believe in!" Gohan said. "And you just made that face a few seconds ago!" He added. "Nuh uh!" Pinkie taunted. Gohan grunted loudly in frustration. He was pretty pissed, and he ended up raising his tail in annoyance. Now everyone was looking at the tail... "Oh, not this again!" Gohan said. "Is that a tail?" Twilight asked. "Before you even ask, no, you cannot study it! It's mine!" Gohan said, hugging his tail. "Aw..." Twilight said, looking down. "Since when does a boy have a tail, exactly...?" Applejack asked. "I don't want to explain this again, you know this stuff! But some freaking jerk decided to mess with your memories just to make me mad!" Gohan yelled. Clearly pissed. "Jeez, calm down!" Rainbow Dash said. "No, why don't you believe us and try to help us solve this problem!? I've lost my bestest of friends, and you don't even remember me existing!" Gohan yelled. "Seriously, veins are poking out of your head." Sunset said. Gohan tried taking a deep breath. "My work here is done." Trixie said, walking away with her goons. "And don't forget, Rarity, you promised to put me in the yearbook!" She said. "You did what!?" Sunset asked. "I only said I would consider it!" Rarity said. "This is getting to be pointless..." Gohan muttered. "Look, do you believe us or not!?" He asked. "Nah..." Pretty much everyone said. Gohan tried finding his peace, but this whole thing just pissed him off. "UGH! I can't take this anymore!" He yelled, grabbing his hair. "I think you need to calm down." Rainbow Dash said. Gohan growled... "Would you please excuse me for a quick moment...!?" He asked, forcing a small voice. "Uh..." Everyone said. Then Gohan just teleported. ... "What is happening...?" Fluttershy asked. Then everyone could hear very faint and subtle screaming. And honestly, a giant but very faint aura from far away. Out to sea... Everyone could hear it. "What is he doing...?" Twilight asked. "I think he's screaming at the top of his lungs." Sunset said. "Giru! Power level is beyond nine thousand... Cubed!" Giru said. "How do you know that!?" Twilight asked. "Dr. Myuu programmed power level recognition software! Giru! Example! Twilight Sparkle - Power Level is 17,500!" Giru said. "Who's Dr. Myuu?" Twilight asked. "Giru? Memory missing! Giru!" Giru said. "Huh... That's weird." Twilight said. "What's that kid's level?" Pinkie asked, pointing at the screaming across the horizon. "G-Giru afraid Giru might break! Giru! Estimation between 5 trillion and 21 trillion!" Giru said. "Jeez!" Rainbow Dash said. The screaming continued... "Giru! Signs of holding back! Giru!" Giru said. "Oh, come on! That's too much!" Pinkie said. "The lungs on that boy..." Rarity said. "I'm just as surprised as the rest of you." Sunset said. ... Still going... Don't worry, Gohan's just relieving stress this way. With Goten, his dad and this fucking crock of shit, you need to give him a break. Anyway... The screaming started to die down... The aura was gone... And... Gohan popped back into reality. "I'm back..." He said, catching his breath. "Are you done having a hissy fit?" Pinkie asked. "If you mean relieving my stress, then yes, I am done." Gohan said. "What kinds of stress would an eleven year old have anyway?" Rarity asked. "Are you guys my psychologists or something!?" Gohan asked. "No." "Then do me a favor and stop!" He yelled. ... He sighed. "I'm sorry, I'm just going through a ton of stuff, and before I do something stupid, I'm going to leave." He said. "If you want to come with me, you have to decide right now." He told Sunset. "Uh... Okay... Are we going to fly or-" Well, now they're gone. ... "I'm completely confused." Twilight said. "Anyone else agree?" She asked. "Yes." Everyone said. *** Back at the front of school... "Are you okay...?" Sunset asked. Gohan walked to one of the steps, sat down and stuffed his head into his knees. 'I've had enough of this bull...deification.' He thought. Sunset felt bad... 'Is he going through something at home?' She thought. So she ended up sitting right next to him. "A-Are you okay?" She asked. Gohan just took a deep and loud breath, muffled by his knees. ... "I'm kinda worried about you..." Sunset said. ... "...I understand." Gohan said. ... "Well... It's just... It looks like you're taking a lot of... frustration." Sunset said. ... "...You mentioned that your day was getting worse... And... you look and act grumpy... Well... How stressed are you?" She asked. ... "First you're yelling at the top of your lungs..." She said, moving her hand. She put her hand on his shoulder. "And now you're..." She asked. Gohan looked to the side, at Sunset... ... "...Crying?" Gohan was trying not to let out a few sobs, but it was too much. You know, trying to contain those quick gasps. Author's Note Yeah, so... My top priority is finishing those damn Season 3 edits because they're being a pain in my ass. Expect it to be about a week before I get another one of these up. Or, if I feel like it, I'll do another one tomorrow... But I wouldn't count on it.
Forgotten Friendship Pt. 6"Y-You're crying...?" Sunset asked. "D...Dang it...!" Gohan sobbed, sniffling. He tried wiping them away, but they came back... "Are... Are you okay...?" Sunset asked. "I'm fine, I'm fine..." Gohan said, a little irritated at his tears. "Stop crying already...!" He muttered. "If you really need to cry, you can cry..." Sunset said. "No, I have to stop." Gohan said, sniffling. His tears seemingly stopped... 'Why did I cry!? That's embarrassing!' He thought. "No, when you cry like that, that's when you have bottled up feelings." Sunset said. "No, that's when I show weakness." Gohan said. "Don't think of it like that... Sometimes, everyone has to cry." Sunset said. "I mean, you're just a kid." She added. "I... I don't usually...cry." Gohan muttered. "What's going on?" Sunset asked. "N-Nothing, I'm just... Uh... Emotional...?" Gohan said, clearly lying. "I don't even need to try to see through that. I don't think heroes lie like that." Sunset said. "B-But I..." Gohan mumbled. "Look, just tell me what happened! It's okay, we're friends!... Supposedly." Sunset said. "I can't tell you. I'm sorry..." Gohan said. He let out a tear, rolling down his face. ...But he quickly wiped it. Trying to hide it. 'He's being so persistent...! Is that how he is in battle or something?' Sunset thought. As stubborn as Vegeta. "Please, I want to help!" Sunset said. "I... I'm really sorry, b-but I can't..." Gohan said. Sunset held his hand, and looked at his scared and saddened face with her serious face. "You have to understand. I can't just sit here and watch you drown. You can wave all you want, I see you drowning." She said sternly. Then her hands created a small white light... It created some sort of... Connection. "You're my friend. The old Sunset might've turned a blind eye, but the new Sunset will stop at nothing to get you to talk. I don't care if you're millions of times stronger than me, or that you can fly, or whatever- I'm making you talk." She said. Gohan very subtly whimpered... "P-Please... I... I don't want to...!" He said. He felt like crying all over again. But, suddenly... Sunset saw something weird. It's like... A lock? Well, some sort of transparent lock in front of his face. It suddenly disappeared. 'What was that?' She thought. "C-Can you let go of me...?" Gohan asked. "Tell me right now. I won't see you in any different light, you're my friend." Sunset said. "You let me off the hook for trying to kill you, so... It's okay, Gohan." She said. Gohan was whimpering. He really did not want to talk about it. "P-Please... Stop...!" He whimpered. Sunset was looking at the damages, and just... "Ugh." She let go of his hands. ... "...A-Are you... Done...?" "I never realized how freaking submissive you are." Sunset asked very suddenly. Well... True dat. "B-But y-you... You're my..." Gohan tried saying. He wanted to say girlfriend, but... "You fought back with lasers and stuff when I was trying to kill you, you talked back to me when I insulted you, but now you can't even assert yourself. What, did the previous Sunset have some sort of dominance over you?" Sunset asked. Gohan wiped his face... "T-Technically, yes..." He said. "Is it because I'm a woman or something?" Sunset asked. "That's part of the reason..." Gohan said. "Then the other part is...?" Sunset asked. "...Er, you don't need to know that... Right now..." Gohan said. He was grasping at straws not to spill it. "Oh come on, this is getting stupid. It's like I'm playing detective but with only one kid that won't talk!" Sunset complained. She was kinda angry with him. "I'm sorry that y-you're upset..." Gohan said, cowering again. Sunset sighed. "It's fine, it's fine, I'm sorry I made you cry even more." She said, putting her hands to her forehead. "I'm just too confused right now..." She muttered. "I understand..." Gohan said. ... Some awkward silence... 'I have to break him somehow... But he won't fight back other than saying no. So... Wait, I could just look at my phone! There's probably some pictures of us.' Sunset thought. She pulled out her phone. "What are you doing...?" Gohan asked. "O-Oh, uh... Just checking social media..." Sunset lied. It was kinda believable... ...But this is Gohan. "Don't you lie to me now..." He said. "I'm not lying." Sunset said. "Look, I have ultra sensitive hearing. I'm a living polygraph machine. Well, kinda, I can't detect tiny sweat nor stress. While polygraphs are not infallible, in fact, they're horrific, I know you well. We're terrible liars. Our heart rates spike when we lie." Gohan said. "Ugh... Nevermind." Sunset said, putting her phone away. She was sure Gohan would slap the phone outta her hand or something... "O-Oh... Okay..." Gohan said. 'I guess I'll do it undercover... I'll have to- Wait! I could do both!' Sunset thought. ... "Hey, Gohan..." She said. "What do you say about a visit to the... Er, aquarium...?" She asked, unsure if that's what he likes. She pulled that out from the top of her head. "Marine biology? Aquatic habitats!? Heck yeah!" Gohan said excitedly. Sunset was just flabbergasted. 'That worked?' She thought. "O-Okay... Um... I know that the Canterlot Zoo is a few miles away..." Sunset said. "The aquarium is inside." She added. "Cool! But... Why?" Gohan asked. "Well, you look sad, and I made you cry a bit, so I want to cheer you up..." Sunset said. It wasn't exactly a lie... "When are we going?" Gohan asked. "Now." Sunset said. "Really? Don't you need a clothes change...?" Gohan asked. "What's wrong with what I'm wearing?" Sunset asked. "D'ah, I-I mean... I don't think what you're wearing is necessarily wrong... I'm just saying, it's a tad... bit... r-revealing...?" Gohan said, very nervous. His thoughts were: 'Please don't kick my ass, please don't kick my ass, please don't kick my ass!' "Are you calling me fat?" Sunset asked. "Wha- No! I think you have a perfect figure, I'm just saying that it's a bit revealing...!" Gohan said. 'Perfect figure? Flattering, but weird... He is right, though...' Sunset thought. "Well... I suppose a swimsuit isn't the best outfit." She said. "Should I take you to your house...?" Gohan asked. "Eh, sure. But I want to fly." Sunset said. 'First Goten, now her. Wow!' Gohan thought. It didn't really annoy him, but it's weird. "Sure... I mean, it's cool." Gohan said. 'Don't think about dad or Goten... We don't want another episode like that...' He thought. "Let's go, they're closing in a few hours, anyway." Sunset said. "Um... Ok." Gohan said. *** Ah, what a day at the fucking aquarium. Sunset was back in the original wear of the episode... Which Gohan thought was just cute. Wow. But, anyway... They were traversing a hall with tanks of certain types of fish... There weren't that many other people. "Ooh! Look! The common carp? Meh... Swordfish? Kinda cool... Oscar? Weirdly named..." Gohan muttered as he walked along. Sunset was just confused. He didn't even look at the signs, he just listed them off by looking at the fish only. But, she had to investigate... kinda. Gohan was listing off a bunch of fish names... "Hey Sunset, did you know that farmed salmon's natural color should be grey? It's not shown here... I mean, it's pink because they eat the same ingredient in krill, named-" Well, time to look through that phone. Sunset was just ignoring Gohan's ramblings... 'Pictures of the group... There are so many pictures of him with us. Who's that other kid? Looks kinda like him... Are they related?' She thought. That was Goten... 'They have that same outfit...' She thought. "-and that's why that country should convert to the metric system, they're confusing the rest of us! Phew... Anyway, what do you think?" Gohan asked. "Huh?" Sunset asked, turning her phone off. "Are you paying attention to the tens of thousands of species of fish?" Gohan asked. "Well, I'm just looking for the anglerfish." Sunset said. She did like that fish... But, little did she know... "Well, the anglerfish exhibit is that way! Right past the fake sharks in tanks and the common carps placed across from them!" Gohan said, pointing down the hall. Well, there are tanks on both sides of the place. "Oh! Uh... Sure...?" Sunset asked. She put her phone in her pocket... "Then come on!" Gohan said, holding her hand. He kinda pulled her with him as he walked kinda fast. Sunset was a little confused and surprised. It was sudden... "I hear it's very popular, they even have hats of the anglerfish's esca!" Gohan said excitedly. 'Well, he's cheered up.' Sunset thought. "My favorite fish might be the pufferfish, but the anglerfish is a close second!" Gohan said. "Great...!" Sunset said. Opening the doors to the exhibit... There were skeletons, diagrams and tanks of anglerfish... "I wonder if they have the explanation for their bioluminescence." Gohan said. He let go of her hand. "Let's go!" He said. 'Well, I could check later, that can wait.' Sunset thought. She immediately followed. What a fun time. "Ooh. They DO explain the bioluminescence!" Gohan said, looking at a tank of anglerfish. "I don't even need to see it. Certain bacteria in the water create a symbiosis with the esca." Sunset said. "You're just as smart as ever." Gohan said. "Well, I did get first honors." Sunset said. "Yeah, I know. You were really happy when you finally got an A in biology." Gohan said. "Yep. Hey, look, some baby anglerfish!" Sunset said, pointing inside the tank. "Aw! It's so... Well, I'd say cute, but they all look like they're suffering. Kinda like bulldogs." Gohan said. "Well, can't argue there." Sunset said. "Is that a simulation? I don't remember anglerfish being this popular." Gohan said, pointing to a booth. "I call dibs!" Sunset said. *** Well, what a day. It's nighttime and Sunset was riding on Gohan's back. She was wearing a blue hat with a blue esca... Gohan didn't, though. "That was fun. We should go again sometime." Sunset said. "Agreement." Gohan said. Sunset giggled... She grabbed her hat and put it on his head forcefully. "Oof." "I think it looks better on you. Kinda like I'm riding the anglerfish to battle!" Sunset said. They both laughed. "Can we take the long route? This scenery is the best." Sunset said. "Sure thing. Just tell me when you had enough." Gohan said. But... Sunset noticed something ahead. "Uh... Is that a UFO?" She asked. "A UFO?" Gohan asked. There was indeed a ship ahead... A red and white ship, with a glass dome in the enter. There was a man standing on top of it. The logo in the middle of the white was of the Galactic Patrol... The guy was complete with purple spandex. He had weird yellow bug eyes... "Aha! It's you! The one Watagash chose as his host!" He yelled. "What?" Gohan and Sunset asked. They were flying closer to get a better look... "Great Space Cannon engage!" The alien yelled. Then from his ship popped out a giant fucking cannon. Then the guy pulled out a space gun... "I shall disintegrate you before you can cause me any more trouble, Watagash!" He yelled. "...Although I kinda slacked off for a few months before coming to find you." He muttered. "What!? I can't hear you, you're very far away!" Sunset yelled. He pulled the trigger, and- Holy shit! A big blue beam fired right at Gohan! "Uh oh." Gohan said. Sunset screamed and covered her eyes. Gohan grabbed the backs of her knees and narrowly moved to the side! Holy fuck, that was close... That beam was actually devastating. It was seen by everyone below... It even had little electric sparks... But it eventually died down. "Man, that was close..." Gohan said. "What happened...?" Sunset asked, peeking again. Right after this... A giant blue explosion ensued! It was half the size of the damn planet! It didn't hurt anyone, but it released a ton of powerful winds. It was very random, so Gohan and Sunset was immensely pushed back by it... They got pushed right into that damn ship... Gohan grabbed onto that cannon before colliding with it... He got their combined weight on top of the thing... Apparently the space man now was on his knees. "I almost fell..." He muttered. Then he noticed the two. "So you survived, Watagash!" He yelled. "I won't miss this time!" He yelled, aiming his gun at Gohan. Gohan stood on that cannon with extreme balance. "My name's Gohan, what are you talking abou-" Sunset wrapped her arms around his neck with a death grip... "Oh no, he'll shoot!" She yelled, closing her eyes. She was grabbing for dear life... "Are you speaking about the Japanese 'gohan' rice I ate earlier? Are you trying to buy time, Watagash!?" The alien yelled. Sunset was comedically choking Gohan as he tried to harmlessly get her off. "L-Let go..." He said weakly. "No! Protect me!" Sunset yelled, tightening that grip. "This is where you get vaporized!" The alien yelled. He pulled the trigger, and- Gohan acted instantly, making his yellow aura flare and swatting the blue blast away! ...But the hat blew away too. It was a weak one, so it died out pretty quickly. Sunset was still holding on... "Huh? You!?" The alien asked. "What?" Gohan asked. Sunset's death grip loosened. "Did we win?" She asked, peeking again. The alien pointed at Gohan... "Son Goku's kind of mediocre son!" He yelled. "What?" Gohan asked. ... "...He does kinda look mediocre." Sunset said. Author's Note In the words of the Tourettes Guy... "AH SHIT!" Anyway... Season 3 edits are STILL NOT FUCKING DONE, DAMN IT! I'm on the last story of it, but it's so damn hard! Over 20k words, and STILL not done! Ugh... And this trashy story took way to long to write, and I apologize. I also apologize in advance for future chapters taking a long time. They will take a while. I really suck at life, so that's why. Before the next chapter, those edits will be done! ...So expect a lot more time... I am very sorry.
Forgotten Friendship Pt. 7On the top of a building... The man identifies as Jaco. He had his ship parked. He and Gohan were far away from that ship, but Sunset was on her phone, leaning on said ship. She was checking the phone for some possible leads... 'Man, he and that kid are a duo... They're in the same picture all the time!' She thought. Swiping left, swiping left, swipi- Sunset lightly gasped. 'T-This photo...!' She thought. It was a picture... ...Of Gohan and Sunset kissing...!? 'WHAT THE FU-' Anyway... "You're looking for a mental parasite?" Gohan asked. "Right. It's name is Watagash." Jaco said, pulling out a tablet with a diagram of it. The same pink hydra... "It's harmless on it's own. But it's drawn to and latches onto the darkness in people's hearts." Jaco said. "It fuses, and gives it host superhuman powers." He said. "The greater the darkness within the host, the greater the power. It caused the downfall of an entire civilization..." He said. "That's terrible!" Gohan said. "It's definitely hiding on this planet..." Jaco said. "I understand. We can't let a dangerous creature like that roam free. I suppose we can alert the masses..." Gohan said. He stood up. But Jaco stopped him... He pulled him right down! "Look, you have to stay quiet! I had no choice but to fill you in on this!" He whispered. "This is supposed to be a secret investigation. Let's keep this between the two of us, okay?" Jaco asked. "Uh... Sure... But... Can you answer my question?" Gohan asked. "What is it?" Jaco asked. "How do you know my dad, Goku?" Gohan asked. "Well, that's a long story, Goten." Jaco said. "I'm Gohan...?" Gohan asked. "Wait, what? Since when did you shrink?" Jaco asked. "Wha- I never shrunk!" Gohan said. "Eh... Might explain why you're on this planet... Whatever." Jaco said. "I have to go." He added, walking back to his ship. "Uh... Okay...!" Gohan said. 'Weird...' He thought. Sunset recollected herself after seeing some more evidence... After that first picture, she saw the next moment, of Gohan blushing and looking surprised that the photo of them kissing was taken, while Sunset was giggling behind her hand. And more and more couple moments... It was strange... 'We were dating...!?' Sunset thought. "Hey space chick, get away my ship. Unless you want to get fried alive." Jaco said, jumping into his ship. "Oh! Uh... Okay..." Sunset said, backing away from the ship. The ship created a bunch of exhaust before eventually floating off the ground. The ship flew away at light speed with rockets and shiet... ... "...That was strange." Gohan said. "So... What did he tell you, exactly?" Sunset asked. "Well, there's a parasite on this planet he's looking for... So that's pretty much it." Gohan said. ... "...He knew my dad, but never told me how." He added. ... "...I think I'm just going to walk home." Sunset said. "Are you sure...?" Gohan asked. "Yes." Sunset said. "May I ask why...?" Gohan asked. "I just want to walk." Sunset said quickly, opening the door to the stairs. She sounded like she was rushing. "Oh... Okay... S-See you on Monday." Gohan said. Now he was just alone on the roof. ... '...I wish she had her memory... I miss her... But, it'll be over soon.' Gohan thought. 'I don't know if I want to talk with dad... Hopefully I can repent for acting like a jerk...' He thought. He kept reflecting on it... Let's cut to Sunset walking down those stairs. 'He lied! Well... Actually, I guess not...? He didn't really show interest in... But why didn't he tell me!?' She thought. 'That would've been nice to know! I don't know if he wants my body! Is he just putting up an act? Is he taking peeks at me? Ugh... I really hope he doesn't have any of those thoughts.' She thought. The stairs ended at the 12th floor, for some reason... So she opened the door to that floor... Then she saw an office! ...With a bunch of people standing with their hands up. There were a few people sitting in the corner, all cowering... Then she noticed the reason why... Three gunmen. One with a machine gun, one gigantic one with a gun for an arm, and one with a pistol. The machine gunman was a fat guy with Elvis Presley hair. He had a green vest on top of a white shirk and green pants. The gigantic gunman had an eyepatch, a yellow hat, body armor, some sort of giant bag for ammo, and, well, of course, the giant arm cannon. The pistol gunman had his hair in a bun, but had a pedostache, a yellow handkerchief around his neck, a white shirt and brown pants. *** 'Well, I might as well leave no-' Someone screamed. Well, obviously her, dickhead. "Sunset?" Gohan asked. More screaming... "Yeah, I need to see what the heck's happening." Gohan said, running down those stairs. *** Now the man with a pistol had Sunset in a headlock, putting the gun to her head. "Now, are you gonna give us all the money!?" The big guy yelled. "Well, yeah, but..." Some guy with a suit said. "But what!?" The big guy yelled. "Why'd you start on this floor rather than the first floor?" He asked. "What? Why did we... Enough with the dumb questions!" The fat guy yelled. "I'll blow her brains out unless you start giving us some money, bankers!" The pistol guy yelled. (Well, FYI, let's call this a small bank headquarters. They're tall as hell.) Sunset trembled with fear... "You! Money, now!" The fat guy yelled, pointing at that smartass earlier. "P-Please let me go..." Sunset muttered. "Shut up." The pistol man said. ... Gohan was looking from behind the door... 'Ah, Crapbaskets. I want to save her, but I don't want to be noticed... Aha! That's it!' He thought. "So you all want to be let go, huh!?" The fat man yelled. Everyone nodded in agreement. "Then define fratricide!" The fat man yelled. "Uh..." '...You damn bastard...' Gohan thought. Nobody noticed the quick flash of yellow light behind the opened door. Some guy tried pressing some alarm button with his knee... But it didn't work. "No bother trying to press the button for security! Nobody below this level will come to help you!" The big guy yelled. ... "Nobody knows? Then you're all dying unless you we get the money!" The pistol man yelled. ... "...The murder of one's own brother or sister." Gohan said, stepping into sight. "What?" The fat man asked. Gohan was a Super Saiyan 2... It's because of both rage and a disguise. He stared directly into their souls... "You wanted me to define fratricide." He said. "Another kid? What the hell is it with you guys and children?" The big guy asked. 'Is that Gohan...? But the hair?' Sunset thought. "I'm going to give you one chance. Let go of her, and leave this place." Gohan said. "Hah! Take a bullet instead!" The pistol man yelled, firing at Gohan. Gohan caught the bullet coming right at his head... With his index and middle finger. "The hell?" The big guy asked. "You lost the chance." Gohan said. He moved the bullet to his thumb... Or his thumbnail. He instantly flicked it with his thumb! It hit the pistol man directly in the forehead! No blood, the bullet bounced off. The man fell backwards, letting go of Sunset. He was hit so hard, but ever so lightly that he was only knocked out. "What the!?" The big guy yelled. "Don't worry, he isn't dead." Gohan said. "Eat this!" The fat man yelled, firing numerous bullets instantly. Gohan caught every one with one hand... As the fat man fired, the big guy also fired. His arm gun happened to be a machine gun, too. They both screamed. "Ahhh! What the hell!?" The fat man yelled. "I call hacks!" The big guy yelled. Everyone else was just looking in pure awe. Sunset actually moved away... She sat in the corner... Little did anyone actually know, that fucking hydra Watagash was lurking around... It was around the downed man's body... The two men eventually ran out of ammo... "Ah! Shit!" The fat man yelled. Gohan dropped the tens of bullets to the ground. "I warned you." He said. He was about to just knock them out, but then he noticed something. The downed guy had a flash of red from his body, and stood up. Very bent over, though. "Dude! You're alive?" The fat man yelled. 'Didn't I just say...?' Gohan thought. The guy just groggily walked to the middle of the two robbers... He had his eyes closed: "Hey! Dickhead, are you listening?" The big guy yelled. "Shut up!" The guy yelled, backhanding the two of them into the wall behind them. Gohan was clearly surprised. They were knocked out...? "What...?" He asked. "Back off, dicks. I don't know why, but... I have the feeling that right now... I can take on..." The now clearly possessed man said... A pink esca with a cotton ball stuck out his head. Then he actually buffed up! Like... A lot! So much so that his shirt just got ripped to shreds! He also had a ton of veins... A few furs... And his eyes were pure red. 'This is the same feeling as Juniper...' Gohan thought. "Anyone!" The now transformed robber yelled, charging right at Gohan! He threw only a bunch of quick punches! "W-What the heck happened to this guy!?" Gohan asked, catching both of his enlarged fists. The robber threw a heavy kick! Gohan dodged to the side, letting go of his fists. The robber ended up flipping... "Don't get cocky now!" Gohan yelled, punching him right in the gut! That immobilized him. He coughed... Gohan then weakly roundhouse kicked him to the other robbers, creating yet another hole in the wall... "It's finished with this!" Gohan yelled, cupping his hands together. A small blue blast appeared... "Ka...me..." He said... Then he realized that this is a building. Also, people might recognize him if he did that, so... He stopped charging. "Uh... I mean... Dodon Beam!" Gohan said, aiming his finger at the robber and firing a yellow blast. Small tiny smoke explosion! Not much damage to the building... 'I think that's what Tien called it, at least...' He thought. Then, nobody noticed Watagash fleeing from the body. Back into the ventilation for him... ... "He did it!" Some random guy yelled. Then all the people in the office started cheering and shit... 'Oh, crap.' Gohan thought. "What's your name!?" A guy asked. "Well, I'd love to tell you, but..." Gohan said, jumping over to Sunset. He grabbed her hand. "What are you...?" Sunset asked. "I'd like to say to you that I never existed to begin with." Gohan said. POP. "Ooh wa, wha? Hey! Where'd he go?" Some guy who sounded like Nappa asked. "Did he disappear? Or was he never there to begin with?" He asked. DRAMATIC MUSIC! *** Right outside of Sunset's house... "What just happened...?" Sunset asked. "Robbery. Stopped." Gohan said. He turned away, still the Super Saiyan 2. He started walking away. Sunset could see that golden tail... "Your tail also turns gold?" Sunset asked. "Yeah. Super Saiyan." Gohan said. We're all wondering if the carpet matches the drapes... "See you on Monday." He said. "Wait..." Sunset said. Gohan stopped... "I-I'm sorry for trying to leave abruptly..." Sunset said. ... "...You are forgiven." Gohan said. He started walking away again. "Wait." Sunset said. Stopped. "I need to ask you a few questions..." She said. ... "...I'll indulge if you can answer mine first." Gohan said. "Sure." Sunset said. Gohan faced her. "Do I scare you?" He asked. "What? Well... Kinda, but since you saved me... Not anymore." Sunset said. "Last one. Why'd you just leave abruptly...?" Gohan asked. He looked angry, but sounded just genuinely kind. "...I learned something kinda scary about you..." Sunset said. '...Oh no... About Goten!?' Gohan thought, turning around. He seemed unaffected, but he was having a mental breakdown on the inside. "I acted on instinct, and wanted to really look into it... But I was rude, just leaving." Sunset said. "W-What's it about?" Gohan asked. "...You'll know... Can you come inside?" Sunset asked. "Um... S-Sure..." Gohan said. "First off, just... Turn off the hair?" Sunset asked. "O-Oh, right... Yeah." Gohan said, doing just that. Author's Note Well, this took way too fucking long. I don't really know if I like how it played out but I wanted to show Watagash. Jaco will be back... Only once. Plus side, the Season 3 edits are finally done! Yes! 26k words... Damn. All right! Woo hoo! I am terrible at this! If there is any solace to the wait, I'm working on the Future Gohan story. It's gonna be way different and make a lot more sense than this, so... Yeah.
Forgotten Friendship Pt. 8The living room just had a television, a table, and a blue couch. Wooden floor and walls. Looks like a cabin. Well, Gohan and Sunset sat on the blue couch. "...So... I saw some pictures..." Sunset said. "Okay." Gohan said. "Heheh... Uh, please don't call me crazy, but I found something that leads me to believe that... Um..." Sunset said. 'Oh no...' Gohan thought. "Please answer this... Um... Are we dating...?" Sunset asked. ... "Uh... Yeah..." Gohan said. Well, Gohan wasn't so nervous anymore. 'Better than the other thing...' He thought. Same with her. "Okay, why didn't you tell me before?" Sunset asked. "I-I didn't want you to think I was some sort of a creep... It would've been the most random thing to tell you." Gohan said. "Well, that makes sense." Sunset said. "You were going to find out eventually... You have your phone and the book to me." Gohan said. "Oh." Sunset said. "Well, questions about that later... Now, the real question..." Sunset asked. "Which is...?" Gohan asked. "What the heck was that hair?" Sunset asked. "Huh? Oh! My Super Saiyan 2..." Gohan said. "You have a second one?" Sunset asked. "Believe it or not, I have another one that Pinkie kept insisting was called Super Saiyan 4. Even though I never had 3." Gohan said. "Oh..." Sunset said. "I could've used 2 against you in our battle, but it wasn't necessary..." Gohan said. "I see... Also... Another question... Who is this?" Sunset asked, pulling her phone out. She showed him a picture of Gohan giving Goten a piggyback ride. Gohan recoiled a bit... 'G-Goten...' He thought. ... "Well? Who is it?" Sunset asked. "M-My brother..." Gohan said. He looked extremely distraught... "A-Are you alright?" Sunset asked. Gohan was doing short gasps, trying to keep it in... "No no no..." He said to himself, forcing his eyes shut. 'Wait...' Sunset thought. She saw the transparent lock again... "So it all makes sense now..." Sunset said. Gohan managed to calm himself. Opening his eyes... "What does...?" He asked. "Well, why you cried earlier." Sunset said, setting the phone down. '...Dang it!' Gohan thought. "What happened to your brother, huh?" Sunset asked. Gohan looked even more scared... "N-Nothing..." He clearly lied. The lock was shaking... "Gohan." Sunset said sternly. "P-Please... Stop..." Gohan said... Was he... Whimpering...? "Tell me now. Earlier, I had nothing, but now I know it's your brother. Now what happened?" Sunset asked. Gohan... Started crying. Tiny sobs... But forcefully closed eyes... And tears rolling down his face. 'Oh no...' Sunset thought. But, lucky her... The lock shattered and disappeared. "Fine...!" Gohan sobbed. "I can't take it! It's too much...!" He sobbed. 'Got him...?' Sunset thought. "I'm sorry, Goten...! I'm sorry!" He sobbed repeatedly. 'I'm guessing his name is Goten.' Sunset thought. "I could've kept fighting to keep you... Instead, my cowardice came into play, and I gave up...!" Gohan yelled at himself. "I didn't deserve that second chance...!" He yelled... "What are you talking about...?" Sunset asked. "He's dead!" Gohan sobbed. Then he started crying louder... 'Oh... I just opened a can of whupass on his feelings...' Sunset thought. 'What do I do...? Do I hug him? Or is he gonna grab... No, he's not like that... I think.' She thought. Sunset slowly but carefully wrapped her arms around Gohan... ...Then Gohan responded by instantly wrapping his around her... He put his head on top of her shoulder... Bawling his eyes out. But that made Sunset see... ~~The future!~~ His memories... Or, only what the lock let her see, at least. *** Goten's death/destruction... And the fight that continued. First, she saw Gohan being shoved aside... Then Goten being destroyed. Before... He silently said... "Thank you." Then she saw bits and pieces of Gohan uselessly fighting Beerus at his full power... Such as the fight in the forest... Then the fight taken to the skies... The dragon fist... The final struggle against the planet destruction attack... *** That's all she could see. Gohan kept crying... "He gave his own life..." Sunset said. Gohan sniffled. "W-What...?" He asked. The hug broke. "He gave his life to let you survive." Sunset said. "And it's all my fault!" Gohan said. "Do you honestly think you killed him?" Sunset asked. Gohan wiped his tears... "Obviously..." He said, looking guilty. "Some cat human did it, not you..." Sunset said. "Don't be a wise guy..." Gohan muttered. "He was willing to save you, Gohan. You had no stamina left! Until you got angry enough to stand..." Sunset said. "I could've kept him alive!" Gohan said. "Gohan, the guy had you on your knees, you clearly had nothing left until Goten gave you something to fight for." Sunset said. "No..." Gohan said. "You're obviously feeling guilty about it, but you can't control what your brother does. Gohan, did you look at Goten as he pushed you?" Sunset asked. "I-I did..." Gohan said. "What did he tell you?" Sunset asked. "I-I'm not sure... I couldn't hear him." Gohan said. "He thanked you." Sunset said, putting a hand on his shoulder. "W-What?" Gohan asked. "Remember. I saw it myself." Sunset said. "H-How did you...?" Gohan asked. "I don't really know... But I saw it." Sunset said. "...Y-You're right..." Gohan said... He looked down at his hands... "And... He looked happy...?" Gohan said. "I obviously can't explain his happiness in the moment, but it shows. He wasn't scared." Sunset said. Gohan clenched his fists... "You couldn't prevent it. No matter what you did, you would've lost to the cat. And you couldn't foresee the fact that the cat just randomly disappeared." Sunset said. "Hrrgh..." Gohan grunted, trying to keep it in... "Gohan... Cry. Let it out." Sunset said, rubbing his back. ...A tiny sob. The tears fell... Then Gohan relaxed...? He didn't force his eyes shut anymore... But it remained closed. No more clenching of the fists... ... "G-Gohan?" Sunset asked. Gohan wrapped her arms around Sunset... A few more tiny sobs into her shoulder... "Er... That's right... Cry, Gohan. Let it all out." Sunset said, rubbing his back. *** Sunset was patting Gohan's back as he was finally ending his crying. "T-Thank you..." Gohan sobbed a bit. "It's not a problem. You're my friend, it's nothing." Sunset said. Gohan wiped his eyes for the last time. "Don't think that your brother resents you in any way, you got it?" Sunset asked. "I won't. You always know what do, eh?" Gohan asked with a smile. "What do you mean?" Sunset asked. "I'm suggesting that you're smart." Gohan said. "Oh. Thanks..." Sunset said. 'I should leave now. I need to talk to dad...' Gohan thought. "...What was it like?" Sunset asked. "What was what like?" Gohan asked. "Our relationship. You know... The couple stuff." Sunset said. "Oh. It's a healthy relationship, I suppose..." Gohan said. "No, I mean, what was it about? Who started it, who's big spoon, you know... That stuff." Sunset said. "But why...?" Gohan asked. ... '...Actually, I don't really have a good reason, do I...?' Sunset thought. "I'm just curious... I mean, don't you get any funny ideas, now." She said with a slightly angry face. "I-I assure you, I won't manipulate you to kiss me or whatever." Gohan said. "It's usually you who does that to me..." "What was that?" Sunset asked. "I-It's usually you... w-who does that to me..." Gohan said. "Really?" Sunset asked. "To be frank... You're the dominant one." Gohan said. "Huh... I didn't expect to hear that." Sunset said. "Okay, sorry, but... I have to leave." Gohan said, standing up. "What? Why?" Sunset asked. "I...need to rectify an issue with others..." Gohan said. "But I wanted to know more..." Sunset said. "About what? There's not much else that you can't think of." Gohan said. "Well... I guess I just don't want to be alone now that... Yeah." Sunset said. "Our friends, right?" Gohan asked. "Yeah..." Sunset said. "I'm sorry, but... Like I said, I need to rectify an issue. It's serious, alright?" Gohan asked. "Ugh... Fine, I'm sorry." Sunset said. "Don't be... You just don't know the whole of it." Gohan said. "What? I saw your brother." Sunset said. "...I'm afraid that's not all that's happening." Gohan said. "I need to leave now." He added. Sunset sighed. "Okay, I'll see you on Monday." She said. 'I can just look through that book to find my answers, right?' She thought. "I want to get this over with as soon as possible..." Gohan muttered, putting two fingers to his head. Then he just vanished. ... "Did he teach me any of that? I mean, if my friends could do that..." Sunset asked herself. 'Does he also know the definition of that random word because of his brother? Today has been really weird...' She thought. *** Goku was just waiting outside that damn portal... Sitting beside it, actually. 'Come on...! I wanna train! Even though it's time for bed... I wanna test Gohan's power already...!' He thought. 'Well, before that... Twilight wanted me to talk to him again, but what am I supposed to say this time? Don't be a Vegeta?' He thought. 'I know he's depressed and stuff... But come on! I need a miracle... Like, he'll come here right now, and apologize, and he'll promise to be better and whatever. That'll never happen, hah!' He laughed in his mind. ...Then Gohan came through the portal. "Finally!" Goku said, jumping to his feet. "W-Were you waiting for me...?" Gohan asked. "Yeah, I'm bored training by myself. I didn't want to get in between you and your girlfriend~!" Goku sneered. "S-Stop it...!" Gohan said, blushing. "Okay, but on a serious note... We need to train, son." Goku said, putting a hand on Gohan's shoulder. "...Yeah, before that... I need to... Er..." Gohan stuttered. "...Don't tell me you wanna go back to bed..." Goku said. "No, it's not that... But it is getting late, how can you be so energetic at this time?" Gohan asked. "I've been bored all day." Goku said. "Well... Okay, but I just wanted to apologize." Gohan said. '...Color me purple.' Goku thought. "Y-You know... About my attitude... and..." Gohan said. "Hey, don't worry about that, I don't care. Are you gonna get back to training and studying and stuff?" Goku asked. Gohan slowly nodded. "...Then great! Now, let's go fishing for dinner. I haven't eaten at all!" Goku said, beginning to walk away. "W-What?" Gohan asked. Now that he thought about it... 'I haven't eaten at all...! I'm hungry too...!' He thought. Goku stopped to look over his shoulder. "Well? Are you coming? Let's catch some dinner! Twilight told me that there was something like Paozu tuna around here!" He said. "I'm gonna eat it all before you do!" He said, running away. ... 'Er... I guess I can apologize to the others later...' Gohan thought. ...But then he grinned and started running. "I'm catching more!" He said. Then the two were just off the property... ... Twilight and Spike came out into the room. "I guess Sunset helped him get over it?" Twilight asked Spike. "How should I know?" Spike asked. "I'm glad he's finally back to normal... But I wonder why." Twilight said. "I'm just glad that he's back, so can I go to bed now?" Spike asked. "Yes, Spike, you can." Twilight said. Author's Note Hahah! It's been too damn long...! I know the chapters right now are shit, but that's because I've lost my boner for writing this story. Well, they were shit to begin with, but these are shittier. Wrap your mind around that. I finally finished this half written chapter... I didn't feel like writing this. Someone pointed out how long it had been, so I needed to do something. I need some time to get the boner back. In the meantime... You all probably know that I published the Future Gohan story. That has given me some motivation to write some of this story, though. Please go check that out if you haven't.
What Happened? (Edited)Cell had been defeated. He was finally dead. This was a time to celebrate, right? A time to be happy? That wasn't the case for the savior of humanity, Son Gohan. But why? Why wasn't that the case? Gohan saved the world from Cell, at the cost of Goku's own life. They wanted to wish him back, but he refused to return. Well, what happened next? Almost everyone Gohan knew turned on him. Piccolo, his own mother, and just about everyone he knew. Why? They thought Gohan caused Goku's death. It didn't make any sense. Only three people remained loyal to Gohan. Krillin, Bulma and Vegeta. Krillin's loyalty made perfect sense to Gohan. Krillin knew Goku by heart, and understood why he sacrificed himself for the world. Bulma had the same reasons as Krillin. Vegeta, however, was rather weird and unexpected. He had a hatred for Goku, but why was he so loyal to his son? Wouldn't he be like everyone else, and hate him? No. Only Vegeta himself knows why he even cared to be on Gohan's side at all. Actually, it's because Gohan saved his as-"Would you fuck off, author!?" Vegeta yelled. Fine, don't be a dick about it. The fact that almost everyone wants to kill Gohan astonished even Bulma and Vegeta. Vegeta killed many races, "fucked up a ton of shit," and even blew up a ton of planets. Piccolo was Goku's nemesis and even killed him before. Trunks even had Gohan as his master in his future. It just showed Gohan that everyone will turn on you in a minute, no matter how close you are to them or hypocritical they were. The heartbreaking realization made Gohan want to just fly into the sun. Where is Gohan today? It's only been a year since the Cell Games. Since then, he only has armor given to him by Vegeta. He's barely surviving. He's homeless, starving and dying. Piccolo, Future Trunks, Tenshinhan, Yamcha, and Chi Chi were searching for Gohan, as they desired to kill him. Gohan was surprised someone like his mother, or even Piccolo would resent him for something like that. Especially his mother. She married the guy, knowing his pure yet dumb nature. She knew he would sacrifice his own life as he did before. But... Now it's Gohan's fault. And Piccolo was being a huge hypocrite in doing so. Going to Capsule Corp wasn't an option because everyone would know he was there. Gohan refused suicide, no matter how tempting it was. He refused it, as he considered it a coward's way out. "And... And I don't want to be a coward!" Gohan says. But he doesn't want to fight. He can't bring himself to hurt his mother even in self defense. He loves her too much for that. Having to kill the person who once trained Gohan for the greater good who now hunted him was definitely not something Gohan wanted to do. Killing his friends in self defense would make him spiral into a depression that would never disappear. He hypothesized that he'd go insane. His final option other than fighting for his life... Was the dragon balls. Gohan has been in search for the Dragon Balls, and Bulma gave him the dragon radar. Gohan had just gotten the seventh dragon ball. Vegeta had helped, and so did Krillin. The seven dragon balls were on the ground. "Go ahead, make your wish." Vegeta said, arms crossed. "Alright... I just want to thank you two. You guys are the only ones who forgave me." Gohan said. "Don't sweat it, Gohan. I'm sure Goku would've done the same." Krillin said. "I don't care that Kakarot's dead, nor do I care about you in the slightest, but I do have a debt to repay. So make your wish." Vegeta said. "O-Okay... Alright, Arise, Shenron!" Gohan yelled. Out of the seven balls, a huge dragon emerged. It was Shenron, the eternal dragon. "You have summoned me. Make your wish, and I shall grant it." Shenron said. Gohan looked at Krillin who nodded to Gohan with a serious look. Then, Vegeta gave him a reassuring smile, which was unusual. "Okay... Mighty dragon! Grant my-" "Hold it right there!" Piccolo interrupted. Gohan turned around in surprise. He saw Piccolo alongside Tenshinhan, Yamcha, and Trunks. "W-Why!?" Gohan asked. Vegeta went Super Saiyan. "Hurry and make your wish, runt!" He said before clashing with Piccolo and Trunks. Krillin fought with Tenshinhan and Yamcha. "Dragon! Send me to another place! Or world! A place where I won't be hated like they hate me, please! It can be anywhere! It can be full of unicorns and ponies for all I care!" Gohan cried. Tears rolled down his face. "No!" Trunks said before being punched by Vegeta, who was then kicked by Piccolo, who was charging something in his fingers. "You wish to be taken to another world, where you shan't be hated as badly as them?" Shenron asked. "Yes! Please!" Gohan yelled. "Your wish is granted." Shenron said as his eyes glowed. "Makankosappo!" Piccolo yelled. A very powerful beam came out of his fingers aimed for Gohan. The beam impaled Gohan in the stomach. At that moment, Gohan went unconscious. He was teleported at that moment as well. The beam managed to go halfway through Gohan's body. "Damn it!" Tenshinhan said. "He's gone now! Why can't you guys just forget about him!?" Krillin asked. "He caused Goku's death, twice! That's not cool, man!" Yamcha said. "That dumbass is dead, get over it you dolts! Prepare for death!" Vegeta yelled before charging at his opponents. *** Gohan tried opening his eyes... "Can you hear me?" Someone said. "I... I can..." Gohan said. Gohan was in some sort of limbo. "I know you're hurt badly, but the place we're sending you off to will be perfect!... But not at first glance." Someone said. "W-Who are you...?" Gohan asked. "Me? I'm just the guy who sends people off to other worlds because of a wish. Someone appears here once in a blue moon. Well, have fun!" He said. 'Fun... I wish.' Gohan thought. Author's Note I know the edits don't justify a few of the dumb things like Piccolo's betrayal, but I tried making the first chapter make a little more sense.
Discord's Return Pt. 1 (Edited Heavily)It was another day in Equestria. The children at the Ponyville school went to Canterlot for a field trip. "I want to start our field trip here, in the world famous Canterlot sculpture garden!" Cheerilee said happily. "That one over there represents friendship." She said, pointing to a statue of three ponies jumping. Well, three fillies in the class, Scootaloo, Applebloom and Sweetie Belle all knocked into each other, angering each other. "All right, my little ponies, this one represents victory." Cheerilee said, ending that somehow. She also pointed to a pony holding a flag. "How cool would it be to have THAT for a cutie mark?" Scootaloo asked excitedly. "Cool!" Applebloom said sarcastically. "If you were actually victoryful at something." She said, infuriating Scootaloo. "That's not a word!" Sweetie Belle said. "What are you, a dictionary?" Scootaloo asked. "Girls!" Cheerilee scolded, ending the argument. The three fillies rushed to her and the rest of the class in front of a statue of Discord. "Now THIS is a really interesting statue. What do you notice about it?" Cheerilee asked. "It's got an eagle claw!" Applebloom said. "And a lion paw!" Scootaloo said. "And a snake tail!" Sweetie Belle said. "This creature is called a draconequus. He has the head of a pony and a body made up of all sorts of things. What do you suppose that represents?" Cheerilee asked. "Confusion!" Applebloom said. Then Sweetie Belle shoved her away. "Evil!" She said. Then Scootaloo shoved her away. "Chaos!" She said. "It's not chaos, you dodo!" Sweetie Belle yelled. "Don't call me things I don't know the meaning of, and it is TOO chaos!" Scootaloo yelled. You can see where this is going. "Is not!" Sweetie Belle yelled. "You're both wrong!" Applebloom yelled, jumping on top of their heads. Oh shit. They all got into a brawl. The statue had a black shimmer of light for a moment... Cheerilee facehoofed, but she put on a smile. "Actually, in a way, you're all right." Cheerilee said. That ended the brawl. "This statue represents "Discord", which means a lack of harmony between ponies. In fact, you three have demonstrated discord so well that you're each going to write me an essay explaining it." She said. That got them some laughter from their class. "Now, let's go. And I don't want any more fighting." Cheerilee said, walking away, leading the fillies. "Confusion!" Applebloom said. "Evil!" Sweetie Belle said. "Chaos!" Scootaloo said. The actions of the Cutie Mark Crusaders, Scootaloo, Applebloom and Sweetie Belle seemingly awakened Discord. The statue cracked... *** Rainbow Dash was soaring through the skies, but suddenly, she was hit by a flying... Pink cloud? "Hey! Come back here, you!" Rainbow Dash yelled, charging at the pink cloud. Upon catching the cloud, Rainbow Dash discovers sit was flying cotton candy. As it turns out, they were flying everywhere! Then, a cotton candy cloud above Rainbow Dash rained one drop of... Something brown. "Hey! It's not supposed to rain until tomorrow! You can't just-" Rainbow Dash said before being rained on with... chocolate milk. "You just did." She said, admitting defeat. Down at Sweet Apple Acres, Applejack was picking the crops. At the moment, she was picking corn. Rainbow Dash was soaring around, trying to catch the cotton candy clouds. "GET BACK HERE!" She yelled. "Rainbow Dash, why is it raining? I mean, chocolate milk? I mean, chocolate milk rain!?" Applejack asked. Rainbow Dash flew to Applejack. "There's crazy weather all over Equestria! Cloudsdale is getting soaked by a major total storm right now! But don't worry, I'm not leaving you until I get control of Ponyville!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed before flying away. Then, popcorn started to appear. Applejack was engulfed by the absurd amount of popcorn. Pinkie Pie, nearby, was hopping and jumping into all the popcorn. "Why would you want to get rid of this?" She asked, licking the chocolate milk. Rarity was nearby, walking with a dress and a huge umbrella. She walked to Applejack, who just found her way out of the popcorn. "Applejack, I saw how bad things were happening and I came by to see how I can help! Without getting wet. Or dirty, or anything under my umbrella." Rarity said. Then, the apples on the trees grew many sizes. They were weighing the trees down, so much so that they bent. A tiny critter jumped on to it and took a huge bite out of one. So did many of Fluttershy's other animals. "Fluttershy! Get them critters to stop!" Applejack exclaimed. Angel, Fluttershy's bunny was eating one of the apples. "Now Angel, you should be ea-" Fluttershy said, before Angel and the other bunnies grew massive horse legs. "NO! It's not possible, I must be seeing things!" Fluttershy said. Twilight was nearby, investigating the weird occurrences. "Don't worry everyone! I've got a new spell that will fix everything!" She exclaimed. Twilight used her magic to perform a spell, but it changed nothing. "What! The fail safe spell didn't work! What do we do!?" She asked. "Uh, give up?" Spike asked. "Spike, Twilight will come up with something." Rarity said, using her magic to give Twilight her umbrella. "Plan B. Rainbow Dash! Can you put all the clouds into one corner of the sky?" Twilight asked. Rainbow Dash cleared herself of cotton candy and saluted. She instantly got every cloud together to form one big cloud. "Applejack, I need you to get those clouds down to earth!" Twilight said. Applejack used her rope to pull the clouds down. This caused the clouds to stop raining. "Hey! Why'd you do that?" Pinkie Pie said, who was drinking all of the chocolate milk. Twilight whispered something to Fluttershy. "Oh dear! I hope none of the animals see these delicious, filled cotton candy clouds! I hope none of them take some!" Fluttershy said. Every one of the animals noticed, and began to chow down on it. "Hey! This is mine!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed, eating it too. "When y'all are done, feel free to have some popcorn after your dessert!" Applejack said. "You see, Spike? You should never give up! There's nothing we can't overcome if we work together!" Twilight said. Gohan was nearby, sitting in the air. His back was facing our group, He was eating cotton candy! With his bare hands! Since it's all over the damn place, he had himself some breakfast. "...Was he there the whole time?" Twilight asked. "I think." Rainbow Dash said. "Gohan!" Applejack called. Gohan looked over his shoulder to see the group. "Hey!" He said, waving a hand. The Mane 6 expected him to come down, so they kept looking at him. "What?" Gohan asked. Then he thought of something. "Look, I know cotton candy isn't healthy for me, especially in the morning, but-" "GET DOWN HERE ALREADY!" Rainbow Dash interrupted. "Oh." Gohan said, tossing his treat into the already big pile. He flew down to our group. In that moment, Spike burped a message out. Twilight opened it, and read it. She gasped. "Come on, girls! Princess Celestia wants to see all of us in Canterlot, Immediately!" She said. "And... Well, it says that we could bring Gohan..." She added. "If she really needs you all immediately, then I'd like to know what's happening too." Gohan said. *** In Canterlot, Celestia was panicking. The doors burst open. "Princess Celestia!" Twilight called. The Mane 6 and Gohan came in. "We came as fast as we could!" Twilight said. "Thank you, Twilight. Thank you all." Celestia said. "Is this about the crazy weather? And the animal's behavior? What's happening out there!? Why isn't my magic working? And wh-" Twilight said before Celestia motioned for her to be silent. "Follow me." Celestia said, trotting towards a hall. The Mane 6 and Gohan followed. "I've called you here for a matter of great importance. It seems an old foe of mine someone I thought I defeated long ago has returned." Celestia said. "His name... Is Discord." Celestia said. "Oh I know what that means! It means disagreement between people." Gohan said. "Yes. Discord is the mischievous spirit of disharmony. Before my sister and I stood up to him, he ruled Equestria in an eternal state of unrest, and unhappiness. Luna and I saw how miserable it was for earth ponies, pegasi and unicorns alike! So after discovering the Elements of Harmony, we combined our powers, and rose up against him! Turning him to stone!" Celestia said. "Alright Princess!" Rainbow Dash said. "I thought the spell we cast would keep him contained forever. But since Luna and I are no longer connected to the Elements, the spell has been broken!" Celestia said. "No longer connected?" Twilight asked. "This, is Canterlot Tower. The Elements are kept inside, since all of you recovered them." Celestia said, showing to them Canterlot Tower. "I have a question." Gohan said. "Go on." Celestia said. "Can I have a go against Discord?" Gohan asked. "I'm not sure... I believe it would be wise to leave this to them, Son Gohan." Celestia said. "Okay." Gohan said. "I need you to wield the Elements of Harmony once again! And stop Discord! Before he thrusts Equestria into eternal chaos!" Celestia said. "But why us? Why don't you-" Twilight said, before "Hey look! We're famous!" Pinkie Pie said, referring to a window with the Mane 6 and Gohan taking down Nightmare Moon with their combined attacks. "You six show the full potential for all of the Elements! By harnessing the magic of your friendship, and the power of ki, to defeat your mighty foe!" Celestia said. "Although Luna and I once controlled the Elements, it is you now controls their power, and it is you who must defeat Discord!" Celestia said. "You can count on us, Princess Celestia!" Twilight said. "Hold on a second! Eternal chaos, comes with chocolate rain you guys! CHOCOLATE RAIN!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed. "Pinkie, chocolate rain doesn't justify all the chaos happening." Gohan said. "Don't listen to her, Princess. We'd be honored to used the Elements of Harmony again!" Twilight said. Celestia used her horn to unlock the door to the Elements of Harmony. There was a magnificent chest behind the door, containing the Elements. "If we keep the Elements, I'll take that case!" Rarity said. "Have no fear, ponies. I have total confidence that you will be able to defeat Discord!" Celestia said, using her magic to give to the chest to the Mane 6. She opened it, and... The Elements of Harmony were missing! Celestia and all of the Mane 6 stared at the empty box in disbelief. "Uh oh..." Gohan said. "Oh well! If anyone needs me, I'll be outside in the chocolate puddles with a GIANT swizzle straw!" Pinkie Pie said, trotting away, but instantly returning. "The Elements! They're gone!" Twilight exclaimed. "That chamber is protected by a spell only I can cast! This doesn't make sense!" Celestia said. An evil laugh could be heard. "Make sense?" A voice called. "What fun is there in making sense?" It said. "Guys, I can sense a pretty huge power." Gohan said. "Discord! Show yourself!" Celestia yelled. There was a laugh by Discord. "Did you miss me, Celestia?" He said. Discord took the form of himself in the stained glass. "I've missed you." It said. The Discord art flew into another stained glass. One that represented the Mane 6 and the Elements of Harmony. "It's quite ugly, being encased in stone but you wouldn't know that, would you? Because I don't turn ponies into stone!" He said, knocking on the glass from inside the art. "Enough! What have you done with the Elements of Harmony!?" Celestia asked. "Oh, I just borrowed them for a teensy little while." He said, making the art for the Elements of Harmony disappear. "You'll never get away with this, Discord!" Celestia said. "Oh I've forgotten how grim you can be, Celestia. You've made Equestria quite, BORING." Discord said. "Hey! Nopony insults the Princess!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed, flying at the glass. Gohan stopped her by appearing in front of the glass. "Stop! You'll do nothing but destroy the glass!" He said. "Oh! That must be Rainbow Dash! Famed for wielding the Element of Harmony you represent." Discord said. "That's right! And I'll always be loyal to the princess!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed. Discord disappeared. "We'll see about that." He said. "I cannot believe we're wasting our time talking to a tacky window." Rarity said. Discord appeared in the window behind Rarity. "The beautiful Rarity, representing the Element of Generosity, if I'm not mistaken." He said. "So you know who we are, big deal." Applejack said. Discord's art grew in size. "Oh I know much more than that, honest Applejack." He said. "And you seem to know our strengths, too!" Twilight exclaimed. Discord's art appeared in a different glass now. "Oh yes, Twilight Sparkle. And yours in the most powerful Element, Magic." He said. "Fluttershy's is kindness and Pinkie Pie's is the most favorite of mine, laughter. Pinkie Pie was snickering. "Pinkie!" Twilight exclaimed. Pinkie Pie burst into laughter. "He's standing in your head!" She said. Discord was dancing on Twilight's art. "He knows our strengths? That's gonna be a problem." Gohan said. "Yes it will... Oh my, it appears that I don't know you! How quaint." Discord said, pointing at Gohan. "Oh. Alright." Gohan said. "You know, people are usually kind enough to share their names with others speaking with them." Discord said. "Excuse me, sir. I am Son Gohan." Gohan said. "Son Gohan, hmm? I really know nothing of you!" Discord said. Gohan smirked. "Stop stalling, Discord! What have you done with the Elements of Harmony!?" Celestia asked. "Oh, so boring Celestia! Fine, I'll tell you. But I'll only tell you in my way." Discord said, jumping from glass to glass. "Retrieve your missing element just makes sense to this change of events. Twists and turns of my master plan, then find the Elements back where you began." Discord said, returning his art to its former state, then disappearing with an evil laugh. "C-Can we go home now?" Fluttershy asked. "What do you reckon he meant? Twists and turns and back where we started?" Applejack asked. Twilight trotted to a window. "Twists and turns... That's it!" She exclaimed. "I bet Discord hid the Elements in the palace labyrinth!" She added. "Good luck, my little ponies. The fate of Equestria, is in your hooves." Celestia said, bowing her head. "Thanks, Princess! We won't let you down." Twilight said. Gohan and the Mane 6 ran to the palace labyrinth. *** They stood in front of the labyrinth. "D-Do we have to enter... THAT?" Fluttershy asked, cowering in fear. "Nope! Because we got these babies!" Rainbow Dash said, referring to her wings. She flew up. "I'll fly above and see where-" Rainbow Dash said before her wings suddenly disappeared. She fell to the ground. "My wings!" She exclaimed. So did Fluttershy's, and the unicorns lost their horns. The four screamed. A green ball appeared. A draconeequus appeared, it was Discord, laughing like a madman.
Gohan's Life Through Season 2 (Edited)Gohan had a rocky life through season 2. Although most of his days were filled with training, it was also filled with the weird events of Equestria. When Twilight was trying to write a letter to Celestia, she couldn't come up with anything, and feared tardiness. Gohan was dragged into all that. *** "You want to help me with training?" Gohan asked. "Sure! Anything I can do for one of my best friends!" Twilight said. "Can you create weights?" Gohan asked. "I could just come in that room with you and help." Twilight said. "Oh no, you shouldn't. Your bones would shatter in there." Gohan said. "Why? I want to help!" Twilight said. "Because that room goes up to 1000x this place's gravity! You would die at 10!" Gohan said. "Oh. Well, I can't create weights, sorry." Twilight said. "That's alright. I'm heading back in, see you around." Gohan said. "Don't you need help with anything else?" Twilight asked. "I'm alright, thanks." Gohan said as he entered the 100x gravity chamber. "Oh... Alright." Twilight said as she trotted away. Later. Gohan and Twilight were supposed to be at a picnic with the rest of the Mane 6. Twilight was trying to find a way to write Celestia a letter, and Gohan was still training. Eventually, Celestia had arrived in Ponyville. Her power level caused Gohan to stop training and investigate. "Meet me at the library." Celestia said, teleporting to Twilight's Treehouse. "I'm sorry everypony. I'm going back to magic kindergarten." Twilight said with a sad tone while trotting back home. "Magic kindergarten!?" The rest of the Mane 6 asked. Gohan just arrived on the scene. "What happened?" Gohan asked. "Twilight's going to get sent to magic kindergarten!" Fluttershy said. "M-Magic what?" Gohan asked. "No time for chit-chat, we gotta go!" Rainbow Dash said. *** There was when Nightmare Night came yet again, and Luna arrived to fix her reputation. *** "Nightmare Night? You mean when Princess Luna was that Nightmare Moon?" Gohan asked. He was where the shops are, was talking to Twilight and Spike. "Yep! Why don't you have a costume?" Twilight asked. "I-I guess I just didn't know, heh." Gohan said. "Well... Why are you here?" Twilight asked. "To buy food." Gohan said. "How's my outfit?" Twilight asked. "That's a cool wizard's costume." Gohan said. "Close enough, somepony actually got it." Twilight said. "Welcome to the Nightmare Night festival!" Mayor Mare, who was a clown said through a microphone. Twilight, Spike, and Gohan went to see what the hubbub was about. "All of our little ponies, who have been out collecting sweets, should follow our friend Zecora to hear the legend of... Nightmare Moon!" Mayor Mare said before cackling. "The voice might work better if she wasn't dressed like that." Spike said to Twilight. Twilight giggled in return. Mayor Mare pointed a hoof at nothing, which turned into an explosion of green dust. Out of it, came Zecora, wearing a wig with spiders on it. She also wore a Batman cape, but let's not focus on that. "Follow me. And very soon, you will hear the tale of Nightmare Moon!" Zecora said. *** After Zecora scared the fillies and Pinkie Pie with the 'scary' tale of Nightmare Moon, Luna arrived on the scene in a carriage. The ponies, except Gohan, were being scared by the flying carriage. "ITS NIGHTMARE MOON! RUUUUN!" Pinkie Pie, who was in a chicken costume, yelled. All of the ponies, even Zecora but except for Twilight, ran. Gohan stood still. The carriage arrived at the town, where Gohan and Twilight followed. Luna, wearing a hood emerged from the carriage, scaring all of the ponies. She removed it, and lightning flashed with it. All of the ponies, except for Gohan and Twilight bowed before her. "Princess Luna!" Twilight said happily. Spike dragged her down to the ground as if she's bowing. Gohan walked up to Luna, who in turn walked towards Gohan. They stood in front of each other with mean eyes. But Gohan's quickly turned into a cheerful face. "Hey Princess! How are you!?" Gohan asked, holding his hand out. "I'm very fine, Son Gohan." Luna whispered as she held her hoof out, shaking Gohan's hand. "Alright, you have a reason for being here, right?" Gohan asked. "Indeed." Luna whispered. "CITIZENS OF PONYVILLE!" She called, very loudly. Her voice alone was enough to create winds. "WE HAVE GRACED YOUR VILLAGE WITH OUR TINY PRESENCE! SO THAT YOU MIGHT BEHOLD, THE REAL PRINCESS OF THE NIGHT!" Luna called with a smirk. "A CREATURE OF NIGHTMARES NO LONGER, BUT INSTEAD, A PONY WHO DESIRES YOUR LOVE LOVE AND ADMIRATION! TOGETHER WE SHALL CHANGE THIS DREADFUL CELEBRATION INTO A GREAT, AND GLORIOUS FEAST!" Luna called, scaring the ponies out of their minds. "DID YOU HEAR THAT!? NIGHTMARE MOON'S GOING TO FEAST ON US ALL!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed before running away and screaming with the children. Gohan looked at Pinkie Pie in confusion. This left Luna confused. "What? No children, no! You no longer have reason to fear us! Screams of delight is what your princess desires, not screams of terror!" Luna said, stomping a hoof on the ground, cracking it. "Madam Mayor! Thy princess of the night has arrived!" Luna called, beckoning a hoof at Mayor Mare. This only scared the ponies even more. Luna became angry at this, and pointed her hoof at another pony, which scared her too. "What is the matter with you!?" Luna asked, pointing her hoof at others. This only scared them. When Luna pointed her hoof at Gohan, he just waved and smiled like it was nothing. "Fine then! Be that way! We won't even depart with the traditional farewell!" Luna called, beginning to trot away. Gohan was confused now. *** Spike's birthday wasn't the best either. *** Gohan cracked open a boulder full of gems. "Alright, this can be Spike's present!" Gohan said. He filled his sack, and waiting for tomorrow. Tomorrow, he was at Twilight's Treehouse, along with the Mane 6. "Happy Birthday!" They all said. All of them, except for Gohan and Twilight stacked them in Spike's arms. Spike looked confused at the gifts. "Don't you know that you get presents on your birthday?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Actually, this is my first birthday in Ponyville. I usually just get one present... From Twilight... Book." Spike said. Twilight was trotting towards Spike with a book, and stopped in her tracks. She realized her gift mistake and hid it. "Well, don't eat it all in one place, but here you go." Gohan said, placing the sack of gems beside Spike. Spike glanced at the sack. "Is that what I think it is?" He asked, pointing at the sack. "You might as well open it, along with your other presents." Gohan said. "Alright! I was right! It's gems!" Spike exclaimed. Rarity's mouth was agape. "Gohan dear, I want to invite you the next time we happen to go gem hunting." She said. "Uh... Alright." Gohan said. After the party, Spike got immensely greedy, and demanded things from other ponies. This caused him to turn into a giant dragon. Despite Ponyville's greatest efforts, they could not stop the ever growing Spike. Even the Wonderbolts were not able to defeat Spike. The huge power level and roars got Gohan to leave his gravity chamber and fly towards Ponyville. Spike had managed to have Rarity in his stash. "What the... A dragon!?" Gohan asked. "Not again!" He yelled as he pummeled Spike in the stomach repeatedly. This subdued Spike for a bit. Gohan flew up to Spike's face and slapped it. "Drop it." He demanded. Spike roared at Gohan in return, who wasn't fazed. "HELP ME!" Rarity yelled. "Oh man, that's not good." Gohan said. "GOHAN! ITS SPIKE!" Twilight yelled. "Spike? Then that means..." Gohan said. Spike had traversed up a mountain, and trapped the Wonderbolts and his stash inside a cave. Gohan quickly followed. "Spike, I don't know how, but you've really grown! Why are you doing this!?" Gohan yelled. Spike tried to show that he didn't care by mimicking him. "That's right! You have nothing to be proud of!" Rarity shouted. "Stealing everypony's things, terrorize the town, and you dared to use me as a weapon against my own friends! Which is horrible, but I understand since you're a dragon and all! AND THIS!" Rarity yelled, removing her ruined cape. "THIS IS A CRIME AGAINST FASHON!" Rarity shouted. This revealed a necklace gem that Spike gave to Rarity. After a long lecture, remembering memories and painful realizations, Spike ended up turning into a baby again. "Spike!? You're the rampaging dragon!?" Rarity asked. *** On Hearth's Warming Eve, Gohan showed a true mastery of swordsmanship, after the play. He even got a sword that night. *** "A decoy? This actually looks and feels real!" Gohan said, holding a 'decoy' of Commander Hurricane's sword. It was a sword used for plays, but it was an actual sword. It looked very similar to Gohan's from when he trained under Piccolo. "Yeah, they said we could use it if we want. Nopony was dangerous enough to even hold it." Rainbow Dash said. Gohan wielded the sword majestically. He swung it down, turned a little bit, and swung it down again with one hand in rapid succession, while balancing on one foot many times. "Oh my! Gohan, are you a swordsman by any chance?" Rarity asked. "I did use a sword when I was four... This looks exactly like it! Even the sheath is the same!" Gohan said. "I think you can keep it. It looks awesome, anyway." Rainbow Dash said. "OOH! Cut this pie into eighths!" Pinkie Pie said, throwing an apple pie into the air. Gohan jumped up and did it instantly, with a perfect cut. The pie landed in a plate Pinkie Pie held. "Woo hoo! Now we each have a slice for the trip home!" Pinkie Pie said. The Mane 6, Spike and Gohan laughed to this. *** When Applejack left to work at a cherry farm, Gohan was stuck in Ponyville with a nasty cold, so he didn't follow the Mane 6. For hearts and hooves day, Gohan didn't have a Valentine, but spent the day making cards for the whole town. *** "Thanks!" Many ponies said as Gohan handed out cards. Handing it to some of his friends was a little difficult. In fact, a few of them thought Gohan was actually coming on to them. Rarity thought so, and asked Gohan if he had a crush. "No. I don't want to fall in love with a pony." Gohan said. "Oh. I thought you and Spike were after me for a moment." Rarity chuckled nervously. "Well... Happy hearts and hooves day." Gohan said, flying out of the Boutique. Even Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash thought the same thing. "Y-You don't like me in that way, do you?" Fluttershy asked. "No! Rarity asked the same thing, but I'm not interested in loving a pony." Gohan said. "That's a relief. I didn't want to turn you down and make you feel bad." Fluttershy chuckled. "Alright. See you!" Gohan said before flying away. "What? Are you coming on to me?" Rainbow Dash asked. Gohan groaned. "Not again... No, I am not because I am not interested in loving a pony." He explained. "Good. I had my eye on you just in case." Rainbow Dash said. "In case what? I like a pony?" Gohan asked. "N-None of your business!" Rainbow Dash retorted as she blushed and flew away. Gohan chuckled in response. *** When Fluttershy was taught to be assertive, she dished out the most painful insult on Gohan. *** Gohan witnessed Fluttershy scream at a pony, and he ran. He flew over to her. "Fluttershy? What happened?" Gohan asked. "None of your BUSINESS." Fluttershy said. "I-I'm sorry if I eavesdropped on something personal." Gohan said. "Why? So you could walk all over the shy pony you see? Well New Fluttershy isn't letting THAT happen. Now get out of my way!" Fluttershy yelled. Gohan was in the air, and was NOT in Fluttershy's way. "Uh... Are you going to be flying this way?" Gohan asked. "No, I wanted you to BUCK OFF!" Fluttershy yelled. Gohan was offended by the statement. "What did I do!?" He retorted. "I know what you're thinking. 'OOH! Poor doormat Fluttershy can't move me, I might as well get in her way!' But New Fluttershy is telling you to MOVE!" Fluttershy yelled. "C-Can you calm down? Are you stressed or something? I don't think you're a pushover, Fluttershy!" Gohan said. "Says the 'protector of Equestria' who's a TAILLESS MONKEY!" Fluttershy yelled. 'That's what Frieza called us.' Gohan thought. "W-What happened to you, Fluttershy!? Why are you so mean!?" Gohan retorted. "Iron Will taught me how to be assertive!" Fluttershy retorted. "There's a difference between being assertive and being a HUGE jerk, Fluttershy!" Gohan retorted. "Says the brainless fighter." Fluttershy scoffed. "You're so dumb that you let your father die!" She said with a smirk. That was the heavy hit. Gohan's anger grew immensely, but it paled in comparison to the major sadness he felt. "Y-You... Think I killed my dad?" Gohan formed. He barely said it. "No duh! No wonder he's dead! You killed him!" Fluttershy said. Gohan's face showed how sad he just became. Gohan had tears rolling down his face. "I-If you... T-Then... Fine!" Gohan retorted before flying away and crying. "Pfft. Baby." Fluttershy said. *** You can tell the depression soon followed. You know, the extreme wailing in his shack. They did make up after that, though. *** "G-Gohan?" Fluttershy asked, knocking on the door of the gravity chamber. Gohan was inside of it, but he wasn't training. He was trying to clear his thoughts in the gravity. Hearing the knock, he lost his meditative state. Gohan turned the gravity machine off and opened the door. He showed no emotion when he saw Fluttershy, but he was definitely scared that she would keep talking about his past. Even though Gohan never told anyone about that part. "U-Um... Hi..." Fluttershy mumbled. "Hello Fluttershy." Gohan said. "I-I came and wanted to say... I-I'm sorry for... What I did earlier..." Fluttershy said, hiding her face behind her mane. "I didn't mean any of it! I swear!" She immediately said. "What you said really hurt, but it's for a completely different reason. But, I forgive you. I just want to know why you changed." Gohan said. Fluttershy sighed in relief. "Good... I attended something that taught me to be a real meanie." She said. "Well, it's great to have you back." Gohan said, gesturing for a hug. They hugged. *** Gohan had actually went with Spike so he could figure out his heritage. It did not end well for the other dragons. *** At Twilight's Treehouse... "He just wants to learn about his heritage. I mean, I want to learn more about mine, but it's all I know." Gohan said. "It's too dangerous!" Twilight said. "Come on, Twilight! I need answers!" Spike said. "And he's the perfect bodyguard in case I may get mauled!" He added. "Twilight, trust me. He will be alright." Gohan said. "Ugh, fine." Twilight said. "Really!?" Spike asked. "Okay! Pack up, Spike. I'm taking you on a trip ~~to a place called Auschwitz~~!" Gohan said. Don't take that seriously. "Awesome!" Spike said. *** Gohan flew Spike to where the dragons lived. Gohan brought his sword, while Spike carried some essentials. "This is it!" Gohan said, landing gently. Spike jumped off Gohan's back. "Sweet!" He said. Spike tried to traverse up a mountain, but quickly tripped and slid down. "I guess I'll take you up there too." Gohan said, laughing awkwardly. Gohan and Spike reached the top of where Spike wanted to go. At the top, they saw many dragons. One breathed fire towards Gohan and Spike. Gohan used his ki to keep it from coming, but Spike hid behind a rock. "Don't worry, I'll be around." Gohan said. Spike peeked from behind the rock to look down and find teenage dragons. "Let's go down there!" Spike said, pointing at the teenagers. "Okay." Gohan said, carrying Spike on his back again. They made way for the teenagers. The teenage dragons were all wrestling. "Hello everyone!" Gohan said as they landed. Spike jumped off his back to talk to the dragons. "Uh hi. I'm Spike." Spike said. The teenagers stopped wrestling to look at the two for a moment. There was a weird thing they never saw and a baby dragon. "You sure your name is Spike and not SHRIMP?" A teenage dragon asked. They all laughed. "Hey, hey, hey! Let's all be nice with each other." Gohan said. "I'm Spike! I'm sure about that!" Spike retorted. "You sure? It's more like PEEWEE to me." Another dragon said. The other dragons laughed. 'This can't be my age group.' Gohan thought. Gohan sensed a few presences behind him. It was Rarity, Rainbow Dash and Twilight dresses as a terrible dragon. "Spike, I'll be back in a second." Gohan said, flying away. The dragons looked at Gohan in confusion. "How did your friend fly?" One asked. "Beats me." Spike said. "Alright guys, cough it up. What are you three doing?" Gohan asked. "How'd you- Nevermind. We came to check on Spike." Twilight said. "Don't worry about it, he's with me. I would leave if I were you, they don't seem to nice around here." Gohan said. "Yeah, I'm going to go and take a nap." Rainbow Dash said. "Just make sure Spike comes back in one piece!" Twilight said. "You have my word." Gohan said. "Thanks. Bye!" Twilight said before teleporting away. 'Okay, that's out of the picture.' Gohan said, flying back to Spike. Already, they were making more fun of Spike. "I'd say your a PART pony!" A dragon said, cornering Spike. "That's enough!" Gohan said as he landed. "What are YOU going to do about it, huh?" One of the dragons asked. "You don't want to know. Really." Gohan said. "Who's this? Your monkey friend?" A dragon asked. "Close enough. I'm Gohan. Now, let's treat each other fairly." Gohan said. "Let's prove that 'Spike' here's a dragon. WHOS UP FOR A BELCHING CONTEST!?" A dragon asked. Three dragons burped, or breathed fire, and the third one had the nastiest one. "Think you can top that?" A dragon asked Spike. Spike tried, but ended up burping a letter out. A dragon read the letter, and laughed. "Get this, guys! Spike's friends with a nabby pabby pony princess!" He said. The other dragons laughed as a result. "Let's jump off the cliff! Whoever creates the biggest splash wins!" A dragon yelled. All the dragons jumped off, and Spike tried to as well, but belly flopped. "He's no pony, he survived a belly flop like that!" A dragon said. The other dragons applauded Spike. Gohan gave his cheers as well. Later, they held a 'ceremony' for Spike, crowning him as rookie dragon. Then the dragons partied 'dragon style', which was eating a ton of gems. Gohan looked on in fear. 'Spike wouldn't end up like them, would he?' He asked himself. Eventually, they all flew to a pheonix's nest, where Spike was being pushed into getting the parents to flee while the others grabbed the eggs. Spike was trying to avoid it. "Seriously, you guys have no respect!" Gohan shouted. This caused the dragons to stop talking, cheering or laughing. "This little guy's a baby, and you're making him do things that's too much! I mean, you guys were probably in the same place as him!" Gohan shouted. "Well, so what? We can do what we want!" A dragon yelled. "That doesn't mean you have to bully a BABY of all dragons, into harming nature!" Gohan said. "Why are you talking anyway? You're a shrimp like him!" A dragon said. "I'm talking because you're not helping my friend, when all he wants to do is find out his heritage!" Gohan said. "This is his heritage! We do pranks and stuff like this all the time!" A dragon said. "Spike, do you really want them to take the parents' children?" Gohan asked. "Uh... No... But it's all part of being a dragon!" Spike said. "Spike, just because you're a dragon, doesn't mean you have to act like one. I mean, look at me! I'm a Saiyan, but I'm not looking to pick fights or conquer planets, like my race did. Why? Because it's wrong." Gohan said. "I guess you're right." Spike said. "Hold on! He still needs to do this!" A dragon said. "I don't want to." Spike said. "What did you just say?" The same dragon asked, walking slowly up to Spike. Gohan quickly stepped in front of Spike. "He said no." He said. "Not if I have ANYTHING to say about it!" The dragon said, swinging a fist. Gohan caught the fist, shocking the other dragons. "Leave, before I do something bad." He said. "Like what?" The dragon asked. Gohan took a deep breath. He swung the dragon around and threw him back to the mountains. The other dragons looked in shock. "How could you do that to our friend!?" They asked, all going for Gohan. Spike cowered and ran to a bush in fear. Gohan punched one in the stomach, broke another's arm and knocked out another with a powerful kick. They all fell to the ground. "H-How!?" The dragons asked. "Go. I won't stop here if you stay." Gohan said. The dragons quickly flew away in fear. "Thanks Gohan." Spike said. "Not a problem. Now let's get home, Twilight's worried sick." Gohan said, carrying Spike again. *** Gohan even helped to train Fluttershy for the Rainy Season. *** Fluttershy had just ran home, because of her pathetic wingpower. "Come on, Gohan! Show them how much wingpower you have!" Rainbow Dash said. "Uh... Okay." Gohan said. 'Just suppress yourself.' He thought. Gohan flew fast by accident. "A-A 52.8." Rainbow Dash said. 'Oh no.' Gohan thought. "That was awesome!" Rainbow Dash said. "R-Really?" Gohan asked. "You could help us!" Rainbow Dash said. "No, I'll be there as a last resort. I'll go check on Fluttershy." Gohan said, flying away. "See ya! Now, let's get to training!" Rainbow Dash said. *** "Fluttershy?" Gohan asked, knocking on the door to her cottage. Fluttershy opened the door. "Hello. What brings you here?" She asked. "Because of what happened with the wingpower. You're usually faster than that, what happened?" Gohan asked. Fluttershy explained her problem at Cloudsdale, and how she wasn't great, and the fillies laughing at her. "Hm... I could train you to be better." Gohan said. "R-Really? B-But your training is too intense!" Fluttershy said. "I'll tone it down a million notches for you, but we need to fix something before you tackle physical training." Gohan said. "W-What?" Fluttershy asked. "Follow me." Gohan said, flying away. *** "Alright, we need to fix this mental problem. We need to push the thought of that out." Gohan said. They were at a lake, where there were no other ponies, and the background was calming. "H-How will we do that?" Fluttershy asked. "We're going to try meditating, and pushing those thoughts out with thoughts that build you up." Gohan said. "H-How will we do it?" Fluttershy asked. "Well, with no surroundings to bother you, it can be a walk in the park. But you have to calm yourself instead of thinking." Gohan said. "How?" Fluttershy asked. "I'll explain as we go along." Gohan said. "Close your eyes. Focus on your breath. Don't think of anything else, but that rhythm. Don't even judge it." He said. Fluttershy did just that. Eventually, she didn't realize that she couldn't think about anything but her breathing. 'Alright.' Gohan thought. After about a half hour, Fluttershy was no longer in a meditative state. She blinked a few times. "Nice job. You lasted a long time for a beginner." Gohan said. "R-Really?" Fluttershy asked. "I want you to remember that feeling when you're feeling down, it will boost you." Gohan said. "Yay." Fluttershy said. "And now it's time for the real part, physical training!" Gohan said. "Oh. Right..." Fluttershy said. *** Fluttershy was doing very slow wing push ups. "Come on! Faster! You're too slow!" Gohan pestered. He was trying to get Fluttershy to use that feeling to forget what Gohan's insults were. It worked, and Fluttershy paid no attention to Gohan's countless insults. She finally did 30 of the push ups. "There you go. Take a break." Gohan said. "Phew!... Why did you insult me?" Fluttershy asked in between pants. "Putting your meditation to the test." Gohan said. "Oh. It worked!" Fluttershy said. "Yeah! You'll be flying with everyone else in no time!" Gohan said. *** Gohan didn't know that the Cutie Mark Crusaders had kind of ruined his reputation with Gabby Gums until he read his column. *** "Who wrote this? Gabby Gums?" Gohan asked. "Yeah, its cool!" Rainbow Dash said. They were in the skies. "I've never heard of this thing, but it's hurtful! It even said something mean about the mayor!" Gohan said. "But it's cool!" Rainbow Dash said. "Gabby Gums wrote me down as a monkey with nothing better to do than train. I have a social life, but this Gabby Gums just made everyone think I'm antisocial!" Gohan said. "Suck it up." Rainbow Dash said. "You wouldn't be saying that if YOU were in the paper." Gohan said. *** That was most of Season 2 anyway. Now, let's get to where Gohan and his friends are now!
The Crystal Empire Pt. 2 (Edited)"It looks like my Grandpa's castle in photographs! Except it's more crystal! And bigger" Gohan said. "It's marvelous!" Rarity said. "Sparklerific!" Pinkie Pie said. They entered the massive place. "It's gorgeous! Absolutely gorgeous!" Rarity said. She kept sputtering on about how amazing the place was. Eventually, Applejack stepped in. "Focus, Rarity." She said. "We're here to help Twilight, not admire the scenery." She added. "Eh. I don't know what the big deal is. It looks like just another big castle to me." Rainbow Dash said. "Oh- P- Gah- Just another old- HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MIND?" Rarity asked, running up to Rainbow Dash. "Look at the magnifi-" She said before her friends were laughing. It was a joke. "Very funny." Rarity said with a smile. They all entered the palace. Cadence was there, she had been performing a spell for ages now. She was REALLY tired. "Cadence!" Twilight called. Cadence looked up to see Twilight. They did their best friend dance. Then, Cadence almost let the spell stop. "We need to meet up sometime, when Equestria is not doomed." Cadence joked. "Are you okay?" Twilight asked. "I could give you a boost, if you want." Gohan said. "Please... I'm so tired." Cadence said. "Alright." Gohan said, sparing a nice cup of energy to Cadence. Cadence was no longer tired. "Thanks! That's amazing!" She said. "No problem. But why is she doing the spell for so long?" Gohan asked. "Is it for that thing we saw earlier?" He added. "Cadence has been able to use her magic to spread love and light. That seems to be what is protecting the Empire. But she hasn't slept. Barely eats!" Shining Armor said. "We need a defense? I could take over." Gohan said. "Really? Oh no, I couldn't... You're but a child!" Cadence said. "It's alright, really. Watch." Gohan said, spreading his arms out. He closed his eyes, and yellow glows illuminated around his hands. "Ha!" He yelled, opening his eyes. The yellow flew outward, setting up a ki barrier around 75% of the city. "Oops. Need a little bit more power." Gohan said, turning Super Saiyan. That covered the town, and more. Even more than Cadence's long spell. "I got it." Gohan said. "W-Wow... If it really works, then..." Cadence said, stopping the spell. It did, it was preventing the cold from getting in and also the spirit, which was King Sombra. Gohan set his arms down. "Okay, I have the barrier up. It should stay up until I stop it. Or if I don't have energy." Gohan said. "You never cease to amaze us, Gohan." Shining Armor said. Gohan chuckled. "I'm just trying to help out." He said. "Our next problem is trying to gather what's happening in the Arctic, and we couldn't find anything out from the Crystal Ponies!" Shining Armor said. "Crystal Ponies!? There are Crystal Ponies!?" Rarity asked, pulling her mane. But then she realized how she acted. And acted normal again. "Uh, please. Continue." She said. "But we have to believe one of them knows we can protect the Empire without Cadence or Gohan's magic." Shining Armor said. "It isn't magic. It's ki." Gohan said. "Sorry. But we need to find out from one of the Crystal Ponies that we can protect the empire without Cadence or Gohan." Shining Armor said. Twilight thought about it, and got the solution. "A research paper!" She said. "Huh?" Shining Armor asked. "Oh, yeah! We could go to the library and find out how they did it back then!" Gohan said. "Huh? I was just going to ask the Crystal Ponies. It must be part of my test! OOH! I love research papers!" Twilight said. "Yeah, who doesn't love them." Rainbow Dash joked, nudging Pinkie Pie. "OOH! Let me guess," Pinkie Pie said, before picking up and/or dragging the ponies. "Is it Spike? No, is it Fluttershy? Rarity? Gohan?" Pinkie Pie asked. "Hey, I like to study!" Gohan said. "Don't worry, big brother. I am really good at this sort of thing." Twilight said. "Okay, now we need to feed you." Shining Armor said, pointing a hoof at Cadence. *** "So, the plan is Crystal Ponies first, then the possibly not there awesome library second?" Gohan asked. "Yes." Twilight said. "Jeez, even though you have awesome powers, you're an egghead!" Rainbow Dash said. "I wanted to be an orthodontist when I was four." Gohan said. "Ugh. I don't even know what an orthodontist is." Rainbow Dash said. "An orthodontist does-" "I didn't ask." Rainbow Dash interrupted. "Oop. Sorry." Gohan said. The Mane 6 and Gohan were at the center of town. "Alright, let's each ask the Crystal Ponies!" Gohan said. Then, the seven each went around town, searching for answers. But they all had the same answer. "Sorry, but I don't remember anything before King Sombra took over. I don't even want to remember the time he ruled over us." They said. "I don't have any information." They said. But, they didn't feel the same. Gohan didn't bother checking the Crystal Ponies, because he pieced together what Shining Armor said. He was looking for the awesome library. And he found it! His mouth was agape looking at the many shelves and shelves of books. *** Now, Twilight had her turn at her mouth being agape. But, there was another elderly Crystal Pony. She was the librarian. "Can I help you?" She asked. "Yes, we're looking for a book!" Twilight said. "We have plenty of those." The librarian said. "You do... You do! You really do..." Twilight said, staring at all the books around her. "We're looking for a history book. Something about how the Empire might've protected itself from danger before." Applejack said. "History... History... Ah, yes." The librarian said. This got the seven to smile. But, after a long silence, Twilight couldn't take the suspense. "Uh... Where is it?" Twilight asked. "I... I can't seem to remember..." The librarian said. Twilight groaned. "I can look." Gohan said. "Alright, but you better be qui.......ck?" Twilight asked before seeing Gohan moving at speeds faster than Rainbow Dash. He looked at every single book on every single shelf with precision and speed. He even put the books back. "W-What!?" Rainbow Dash asked. "You STILL think you're faster than him?" Pinkie Pie asked. "I... I... I don't know." Rainbow Dash said insecurely. "Wow! We could hire that... Monkey to help me organize." The librarian said. "Wait... Do I even work here?" She asked. Gohan found the history book. "I got it!" He said. "Let me see!" Twilight said, using her magic to take the book out of Gohan's hands. "I just hope it has the answers we need." Twilight said, opening the book.
Princess Twilight Sparkle Pt. 2Gohan flew into the Everfree Forest, smashing and blasting every vine in his way. He had to admit, it was doing wonders as training. Dodging and swiftly attacking the vines wasn't the easiest thing. He saw Zecora's house being overrun. But he was still going to find the source. He also had trouble finding it too. He searched for about a half hour until he heard his friends. Apparently a rock crocodile was attacking them. The animal cornered Twilight and Spike to a tree. So, Gohan acted quickly and smashed the crocodile in two. "Oh my! Gohan, you didn't need to be-" "He was going to kill them. No amount of your stare would prevent that in this kind of forest." Gohan interrupted Fluttershy. "Gohan, thank Celestia we found you. We need to find the Tree of Harmony!" Twilight said. "Tree of- Wait, What? Does it happen to emit a weak ki signature right in that direction?" Gohan asked, pointing in a direction. "Maybe?" Twilight asked. "Alright, I'll slow down for you guys. Let me handle the vines." Gohan said. "M-Maybe we should leave Twilight back in Ponyville." Applejack said. "Why?" Gohan and Twilight asked. "Well, we already lost two princesses! Even if we find the Tree of Harmony, it may not bring Princess Celestia and Luna back." Applejack said. "She does have a fair point. We cannot risk losing a third princess to this unknown foe." Rarity said. "But I'm the only one who knows about the Tree of Harmony, and what it looks like!" Twilight said. "Big giant tree being attacked by hideous monsters? Yeah, I think we can find it." Rainbow Dash said. "Y-You all feel this way...?" Twilight asked. Everyone else nodded. "I don't really care." Gohan said. "Listen, I know it seems dangerous, but I have to come with you!" Twilight said. "No, Twilight. We need to do this ourselves!" Applejack said. "If you... If you all think so..." Twilight said. Gohan sighed. "Go home if you want to. I'm respecting the majority at this point." He said. "I guess..." Twilight said, trotting away with Spike. The six made way for the Tree of Harmony. *** "Alright, I sense something in there." Gohan said, pointing at a cave from a cliff. "How will we get there? It's ridden with vines!" Applejack said. "Already on it. Kamehameha!" Gohan yelled, firing the Kamehameha. It successfully destroyed the vines. "And how will we get down?" Applejack asked. Pinkie Pie fell down the stairs to the bottom of the cliff. "Take the stairs, silly!" Pinkie Pie yelled. *** "Oh my goodness, that tree is being killed!" Gohan yelled. "Let's save it already!" Applejack said, trying to pull the vine out, but failing. Rainbow Dash attempted herself, and was knocked away by a sentient vine. Gohan went next, firing his Kamehameha wave. Surprisingly, it didn't work! "What!?" Gohan asked. "H-How are we going to save the Tree!?" Fluttershy asked. "Clearly my strength won't work." Gohan said. "Just go Super Saiyan!" Rainbow Dash said. "No, it definitely won't work. It just tanked a Kamehameha, and we need another source." Gohan said. "B-But... We sent Twilight home!" Fluttershy said. Gohan could sense Twilight and Spike nearby. Twilight was... She was dying! "SHE'S IN TROUBLE!" Gohan screamed, flying away at breakneck speeds. "So, do you STILL-" "ALRIGHT, FINE PINKIE! YOU WIN! HE'S FASTER!" Rainbow Dash interrupted. "Finally!" Pinkie Pie said. "Whoa... Never thought I'd hear that come from Rainbow Dash." Applejack said. "I've been asking her a bit." Pinkie Pie said. "You mean annoying me with it!" Rainbow Dash said. Then, Spike came falling down the stairs. "Guys! Twilight's in trouble!" Spike said. *** Twilight was being sprayed by black piranha plants. They were actually weakening her, too. They were just about to devour her until suddenly, a blast killed one. "Stay away from her!" Gohan yelled as he pummeled the piranha plants. He blasted and smashed them all! Then, the rest of the Mane 6 came to Twilight's aid. "Twilight! Are you alright!?" Rainbow Dash asked. "I'm fine, Rainbow." Twilight said, getting herself up. "We're so sorry we sent you home!" Fluttershy said. "We don't need our princess right now. We need our friend." Applejack said, and the Mane 6 all got into a group hug. *** Now they all were standing in front of the source of the problem. Twilight flew up to the tree's core, which was her Cutie mark, but a vine prevented her from going near it. Then, she figured it out. She flew back to her friends. "I know what we must do now. We must give the Tree of Harmony our Elements of Harmony." Twilight said. "Whoa, whoa, whoa, how are we supposed to defend Equestria!?" Rainbow Dash asked. "...Are you serious right now?" Gohan asked. "Oh, right. Sorry. Just... Just Nightmare Moon, got it." Rainbow Dash said. "But what if Gohan wasn't enough, and we needed the Elements of Harmony?" Rarity asked. "I know it seems difficult to part with the Elements of Harmony, but the future is nothing compared to what's happening right now!" Twilight said. "Even if I weren't enough, what makes you think the Elements of Harmony would be enough to stop everyone?" Gohan asked. "Twilight, the Elements of Harmony bring us together! They are what keep us connected." Applejack said. "You're right about one thing, Applejack. They do bring us together. But they don't connect us. It's our friendship! It's more important and more powerful than any magic! My new role in Equestria may mean I have to take on new responsibilities. And our friendships may be tested! But it will never, ever be broken." Twilight said. The rest of the Mane 6 nodded. "Everyone ready?" Twilight asked, flying up. "Ready!" They said. Twilight used her magic to take each Element of Harmony out of the necklaces and the crown. She was ready to use them. However, some vines disagreed with Twilight's plan, and ensnared her in the vines. Her friends gasped. Gohan turned Super Saiyan and flew up to the vines. He smashed them all. "Quick, I'll hold them off!" Gohan said, blasting away some vines. "Wait, didn't he say going Super Saiyan wasn't enough?" Rainbow Dash asked. "He was lying to us!" Applejack said, pointing a hoof at Gohan. "I'm sure it was for a good reason..." Fluttershy said. "Yes, to learn a lesson on friendship." Rarity said. Twilight used her magic to put the Elements of Harmony into each section of the Tree. The Tree lit up, destroying the vines entirely! Every single one vanished! Two huge bushes of vines were also destroyed, revealing the stolen princesses! Everyone's face lit up as they saw the princesses. Twilight ran at them, hugging them both. "We know how difficult it must have been to give up the Elements. It took great courage to relinquish them." Celestia said. The Tree of Harmony started to glow on a carved part of the tree, where Celestia and Luna's Cutie marks lay. The light traveled to a root, which transformed into a plant. Twilight touched the plant, which revealed a blue chest. "What's inside it? How am I supposed to open it?" Twilight asked. "Six locks, six keys." Luna said. "I do not know where they are. But I do know it is a mystery we will not be solving at this moment." Celestia said. *** The Mane 6, Spike and Gohan were walking back to Ponyville. They just returned from the Everfree Forest. Then, confetti blew everywhere. Discord. "Bravo girls and boys, bravo!" He said. He appeared in front of Rainbow Dash. "How did you save the day this time? With your magic necklaces I presume?" Discord asked. Then he appeared as a tiny cowboy on Applejack's back. "Where are those little things, anyway? You know, the one which could return me to my EXTREMELY uncomfortable stone prison?" Discord asked. Applejack sighed. "Gone." She said. Discord teleported off her back and went back to regular size. "Gone!? Gone?" He said with a smile. Fluttershy flew up to Discord. "Our friendship remains. And if you DO want to remain friends, you'll have to stop thinking what you're thinking and help us clean up!" She said. During that lecture, he shrinked in size before turning himself into a French maid. "Fine. But I don't do windows!" He said, walking away. "There's one thing I don't get, why is all this happening now?" Applejack said, as the 8 walked back to Ponyville. "I have no idea... Those seeds I planted should have sprouted ages ago!" Discord said, suddenly not dressed up. "What did you say!?" Twilight and Gohan asked. "Oh, why should I try to explain it when you can see for yourself?" Discord asked, making a potion Zecora made appear. So, Twilight sipped it, and the Flashback came back. Turns out that Discord planted and ate plunderseeds that should have taken the magic from the Tree of Harmony thousands of years ago. Twilight snapped out of her trance. "And we could have used this information HOURS AGO!?" Twilight asked. "And rob you of receiving a lesson as princess? What kind of friend do you think I am?" Discord said, pulling Twilight's cheek. *** Finally, the Summer Sun Celebration was happening! Horns blew. This time, the rest of the Mane 6 were visiting Canterlot. Gohan was in the back with the princesses. You know, because he's an ambassador? Anyway, Twilight even had a new crown. Celestia and Luna walked up to the stage. "Citizens of Equestria! It is no longer with a heavy heart, but with great joy that I raise the Summer Sun! For this celebration now represents not the defeat of Nightmare Moon, but the return of my sister, Princess Luna!" Celestia called. Everyone cheered and clapped. Princess Luna flew up in front of a giant fake moon representing her cutie mark and lowered the moon. Princess Celestia flew up in front of a giant fake sun representing her cutie mark and raised the sun. Twilight immediately flew up and created a magic spell that made the show all the more interesting. It was a shockwave with her cutie mark on it, separating the sun from the moon. The sun rose brighter than before. The three princesses landed on the ground. The first Summer Sun Celebration for Gohan was so memorable. Mostly because of the Everfree Forest. When it's put that way, it's memorable for everyone. But it was Gohan's first.

Terror on Imecka"You're all telling me, since I can teleport to other planets, that you want to travel to Planet Imecka?" Gohan asked. The Humane 7/ The Usual Cast were at the portal. Gohan was in the purple gi this time. Goten still had no sleeves but some wristbands. Giru was here, too. Fluttershy was holding him. "It has an oxygen source, inhabitants from the Rubble Space Telescope (Hubble), and we can't travel there without you!" Twilight said. "Giru! Current planet lacks resources for space travel! Giru!" Giru said. "I wanna go now!" Goten said. "Uh... Okay. So... Sorry, I should've studied astronomy. I know there's not a lot of planets revolving around the Sun, but which planet is it?" Gohan asked. "It's the second one." Twilight said. 'Going into space again... Excited!' Goku said. *** 'This place is boring!' Goku said. 'We just got here.' Gohan said. The group was in a wasteland of sorts with a town nearby. "Wow...! I can't believe I'm on another planet!" Twilight said. "What happened to that robot planet?" Pinkie asked. "Doesn't count, that was a ship!" Twilight said. "M-2 traveling planet! Giru!" Giru said. She started inspecting the soil. "This is just like Earth's! Ooh! Look! A salamander! It-" Twilight said, before being moved out of the way by Fluttershy. It was a red salamander. "Let me see! Aw... He's so adorable!" Fluttershy said. The salamander just blinked in response. "Species: Red salamander! Hostility: Varies! Giru!" Giru said. "He reminds me of Gummy!" Pinkie said. "Hey... There's some townsfolk around here!" Applejack said, pointing at the town. "Ooh! I wonder what species they are! Imeckians? Did they name this planet Imecka like we did?" Twilight asked before squealing. Sunset leaned into Gohan's ear. "I'm surprised you two aren't squealing together this time." Sunset said. "I've been on other planets before. Space travel is unfortunately not a new thing for me." Gohan said. "Let's go see what these Imeckians are!" Rainbow Dash said. *** Holy fuck, this place is crowded. Everyone pretty much looked like this with different colors for each one. https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/dragonball/images/0/07/Imeckian_Vendors_Spotting_the_Earthlings.png/revision/latest?cb=20120304174803 There's a lot of people selling stuff, jeez. "They seem to have an advanced society with civilization!" Twilight said. "I wonder why they're all crowded up in here. It's just as hot out there." Gohan said. "Why does the food look weird?" Goten asked. "Why are they all wearing such uncouth attire?" Rarity asked. "Poverty, maybe? But they don't seem to be poor..." Gohan said. "They have all sorts of jewelry, I suppose. The facets aren't too nice..." Rarity said. "Uh... Guys? I think there's a stampede coming at us." Sunset said. Uh... Yeah, that picture from before. "Giru! Giru! Danger! Run!" Giru warned. The people all just crowded around the group. Giving them all sorts of useless shit. They have really weird attire... Snake scarves, skulls for buckles, red dots on their face, giant moon earrings, wigs, etc. Rarity was freaking out because the attire sucked. "They look extraordinarily appealing, yes?" One merchant/haggler asked. "Absolutely!" Another haggler said. "You could mistake them for royalty!" Another said. 'Not even five minutes on this planet and people are willing to meet you.' Goku said. 'At least they're not trying to kill us...' Gohan said. "Most definitely!" Another said. "Some of my toe rings can add excitement to your feet!" Another said. "That's your opinion." Another said. "Uh... This is NOT cool." Rainbow Dash said. "We'll just charge it to your account!" One merchant said. They all pulled out calculators and showed them the prices. And there's a shit ton. "Outrageous! We don't even choose to buy, yet we're being forced to pay for nothing we wanted!? We don't even have the money!" Rarity said. "This is not normal!" Twilight said. "Who's the hack running this place!?" Rainbow Dash asked. At that moment, everyone recoiled in fear. "Don Kee!? Y-You cannot speak of him that way!" One said. "Well, why not!?" Rainbow Dash asked. "He could have you killed... Or make you pay taxes through the roof!" Another said. "Are... You guys living under a tyranny?" Gohan asked. It's really hard to take these guys seriously with the weird shit they have on. ... "Please excuse us... We really don't mean to force our goods on you." One said. "Lord Don Kee has us paying taxes so high that I lost my house!" Another said. 'So much for democracy or a federal republic... Or a democratically elected monarchy?' Gohan thought. 'I didn't get any of that.' Goku said. "This sounds a lot like a dictatorship..." Twilight said. "Then why don't you revolt against him?" Sunset asked, getting that weird shit off of her. Everyone else followed suit. "He has too powerful of an army... And there's three elite fighters that none of us can contend with!" One said. "Should we try to liberate these people?" Gohan asked. "We can't just leave them hanging! Let's do it!" Rainbow Dash said. "You hear that everyone!? We're gonna go over there and tell them to stop being meaniebutts!" Pinkie said. "But... Are you sure you can...?" One asked. "No problem! We have the artillery right here." Sunset said, patting both Gohan and Goten's backs. "You are all very brave children... But that Don Kee has a terrifying army." One said. "We wouldn't want to see you in a state of hurt." One said. 'First they trying scamming you and now they're sympathetic.' Goku said. 'I'm surprised you know those words.' Gohan said. "Please, don't worry. We can handle it." Gohan said. *** Well, Don Kee's place. Big castle. This is Don Kee. https://rei.animecharactersdatabase.com/uploads/chars/2855-2113852614.png Don Kee was in a bathrobe. In the same room with this red hooded man... "Your midday meal. If it pleases you, sire." A servant said, giving the food over to Don Kee. Pudding with other sweets around it. "Yes, its fine. My compliments to the chef." Don Kee said. "Your scouts have returned." The hooded man said. A smaller man and a taller woman appeared. https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/villains/images/e/e1/Sheila_%26_Gale.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20120722011319 "Yes? What is it, Gale?" Don Kee asked. Gale was the small guy. Sheela was the taller woman. "My lord, we have reports about a possible uprising." Gale said. "How many people?" Don Kee asked. "Nine. They aren't from around here, and they don't match with the planet. In layman's terms, they're ugly." Sheela said. Don Kee burst out in laughter. "Nine!? I doubt I'd even need Ledgic for this!" He said. "Alert all soldiers and increase defense protocol." He said. "Yes, my lord!" They both said. *** This castle was pretty nuts, but the group were able to sneak around the lights and soldiers. A few close calls because Pinkie wanted to sightsee, but Twilight managed to grab her and scold her. Like she actually listened, hah! They snuck through ventilation, roof beams, walls, everything. They were hiding in the main artillery base. Or the barracks. "I don't get why we don't just charge in and destroy the army." Goten whispered. "It's all part of a plan!" Twilight said. "What plan? We were supposed to beat him and save the place!" Rainbow Dash said. "If we destroy the military the planet won't have any defenses against any other worldly powers!" Twilight said. "We don't have to kill them, Twilight." Sunset said. "Maybe just knock them out!" Pinkie said very loudly. .... "Intruder alert! Sound the alarm!" "Pinkie!" Everyone yelled. "Giru! Incoming forces! Giru!" Giru said. "Well, now we're stealing the honey while alerting the hive!" Twilight said. 'Where's the honey? I want some!' Goku said. 'That was an expression! Also, Not the time!' Gohan said. This is what the soldiers looked like. https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/dbz-dokkanbattle/images/0/01/Imeckian_Soldier.png/revision/latest?cb=20160828151557 "Let's go! ~~LEROOOOOOOY JENKINS!~~" Rainbow Dash said. She ponied up and seemed to disappear in an instant. But a soldier soon found out that he belonged on the ground with a broken nose because of a punch. I made the sentence longer because this needs to be longer. Why didn't I just say she punched him? Whatever. Everyone else ponied up. "Sorry, Giru, just wait here a moment!" Fluttershy said, setting Giru down. Gunfire. One of them was sounding like the Heavy. "ZZZAZAZAZAZAZAZAZA BRRRRRRR!" Giru obviously cowered and hid. Applejack jumped over the line of gunfire and dropkicked one soldier. She grabbed the guns of two others and bent them backwards. To make no sense, they shot themselves. Rainbow Dash was rushing into a trio. Since Gohan recently taught them pressure points... And her amazing speed... She knocked everyone out with the pressure point on their necks. Twilight was just catching bullets with her magic and hurling them back. Ten soldiers fell over, but didn't die. Goten was taking out his enemies in style, as usual. It was like he was dancing. Gohan and Sunset were performing team combos. At her request, mind you. Sunset was the assist of sorts. She only threw or knocked opponents to Gohan while he quickly knocked them down. Occasionally, Gohan wanted to make her feel special by throwing one soldier in the air. "Sunset! Dust him!" He yells. Sunset aimed her palms at him and fired two orange blasts. Well, those were their combinations. Rarity was knocking everyone over with diamonds. Fluttershy was pretty much baiting all the soldiers to come into one spot by running and flying around. All part of Pinkie's plan to blow everyone up... But... "Giru assist!" Giru said, kind of splitting in half. It revealed a mechanism inside. A rocket launcher and a machine gun. "Fire!" Giru said, firing a rocket at the bunch of soldiers. They all screamed and yelled as they blew up. Much to everyone's surprise. "Giru is weapon too!" Giru said. "Awesome!" Rainbow Dash said. Before a bullet narrowly missed her. She looked to the side to see more soldiers coming at her. "Let's go!" She yelled. ...But she wasn't able to attack. Giru was ramming those soldiers down. One remained! ...Then Giru ran out of ammo. "Oh no! Giru! Giru!" Giru said, quickly hiding again. Gohan blasted the remaining one unconscious. "That's one useful robot." He mentioned. "I'll have to materialize numerous bullets and another rocket for him! That's a war machine!" Twilight said. There were still more soldiers. Gale and Sheela were now on the scene... "What's going on?" Gale asked. "There's nine intruders with a robot! They're going through our forces like they're nothing!" A soldier yelled. Then a giant aircraft was ramming through all the soldiers. "What's the meaning of this!? Traitors!?" Sheela asked. As the windows of the door went down... And I mean went down as in the 2001 cars that used manual window shifting. So Pinkie was comedically straining. Oh, I forgot to mention that Pinkie was the one driving. "Unlicensed driver coming through! Hey! Friends ride for free!" Pinkie yelled. "I am not trusting you!" Twilight said. "Suit yourself!" Pinkie said before driving into everyone else. Gohan jumped on top of the machine. "Reckless driving is what my father did!" He said. 'Yeah! Eat my dust, Piccolo!' Goku said. Gale and Sheela put their palms together. "Joyride's over!" Gale yelled. The two of them unleashed a red blast at the aircraft. 'Just my luck.' Gohan thought. He aimed both his palms at the blast and fired a powerful blue blast. Instantly overpowering Gale and Sheela... They weren't hit, but the blast was heading towards the walls now. The same hooded man from before jumped down and kicked the blast away with little effort. It flew out the window and exploded in the sky. "...Saiyans..." He muttered. Gohan looked at him intently. 'He's the cavalry around here. I can see why they didn't revolt now.' He thought. Pinkie jumped out of the aircraft before it rammed into the final horde of soldiers. Gohan jumped off before it exploded from hitting the wall. "Alright! Victory!" Twilight said. "We're not done yet." Gohan said. He looked up to see that man gone. *** Don Kee was looking at all of this. "Hmm. What a beautiful happy ending. But for who!? Me?" He yelled at Gale and Sheela. The hooded man was on a chair, flipping a coin. "No, Great Don Kee is left looking like an idiot while his army is being destroyed! And all of this happens right under the noses of my most highly paid military experts! What a bunch of useless twits!" Don Kee yelled. The hooded man removed his hood. https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/topstrongest/images/b/bf/Ledgic_%2801%29.png/revision/latest?cb=20160406034000 "I resent that." He said. Don Kee instantly retracted his statement. "No! Not you, Ledgic! You're impeccable! It's these other twits I'm talking about!" Don Kee said. "We made a big mess out of this." Gale said. Don Kee pulled out his calculator and did some calculating. "Take a look at this number!" He yelled. It read '11497260.' "This is the damages I'm taking from your paychecks to and for the damage of one hovercraft! And that's not all!" He said. "Do you even know who these rebels are!?" He asked. "Yes Lord Don Kee, we have the whole thing on tape." Sheela said. "AND WE'RE HERE!" Pinkie yelled from behind the door. The double doors blew up to reveal the delinquents! I mean, heroes! Gale and Sheela ran away through teleportation. "Oh no...!" Don Kee said. "Ledgic, I demand that you put these kids' heads on a platter!" He ordered. "...What did I say about giving me orders...?" Ledgic asked, putting his hood back on. "D-I-I mean, can you please take care of our little problem for us...? Pretty please?" Don Kee asked. The group entered the room. "Alright, buttheads! Treat the planet's people nicely from now, and you won't be in a world of pain!" Rainbow Dash said triumphantly. "I will do as Don Kee said. But only for my own satisfaction." Ledgic said. That was right before he seemingly disappeared. He had insane speed! Suddenly, everyone felt a sharp pain in their stomachs. "W...W-What...!?" Twilight managed to say. Ledgic appeared back in his seat. Everyone collapsed. ... What the fuck? "D-Danger! Giru! Giru! Giru! Giru!" Giru kept repeating. "Yes... Y-Yes! You did it, Ledgic! Here, have all the money you want from here!" Don Kee said, throwing wads of cash at Ledgic. "It seems the Saiyans were no match. That was all I wanted to test." Ledgic said. ... "Heheheh..." "What was that?" Don Kee asked. The chuckling grew louder as Gohan got himself up. "I think you're wrong, sir." He said, ending his chuckle. He did have an uncharacteristic smirk on his face, though. "Impressive." Ledgic said, standing up from his seat. "And who might you be, little boy?" He asked. "I'm Son Gohan." Gohan said. "I'm surprised you managed to knock everyone out so quickly." He added. "Who are you?" He asked. Ledgic chuckled, removing his hood. "The name's Ledgic. And I must warn you, I'm far beyond what those two weakling were capable of." He said. "I don't think you'll find me so weak either." Gohan said. "Heh. What confidence. Prepare yourself." Ledgic said. The two stared each other down. Then they charged at each other, smashing their fists into each other's fist! Ledgic jumped back to aim his palm at Gohan. He fired numerous red blasts. That blew a hole in the castle... And hey, look! Gohan was blasted away! Ledgic appeared behind him to kick him down! But... Gohan blocked it from behind with his arm! He grabbed his leg and hurled him at the throne room again! Ledgic fired another round of red blasts again! They all tracked towards Gohan! BOOM! Ledgic took the spikes from his clothing and turned them into swords. Gohan appeared behind him! Ledgic reacted instantly, and swung one sword around! Gohan narrowly dodged. Ledgic started to attempt stabbing Gohan with quick ones. Gohan dodged them all. "Of all the days I leave my sword at home!" He said. Eventually he caught both of the swords with his hands. He snapped them in half! Ledgic instantly reacted by kicking him in the gut because he's a tall guy. Gohan was rammed through a part of the castle... And hey, Ledgic appeared behind him to punch him back into the castle again. "Not my palace! Ledgic!" Don Kee whined. The group started to get back up. "Ugh... What just happened...?" Pinkie asked. Don Kee jumped back in fear. "Where's Gohan and that red guy?" Goten asked. "Look!" Sunset said, pointing at the orange moon. Ledgic was charging at Gohan with a spear! Gohan dodged the point, but was instantly struck down by the handle. He recovered and the two stared each other down. "You're really powerful! I'm surprised!" Gohan said. "Don't patronize me, I know you're holding back. As am I. Saiyan." Ledgic said. "Huh. You know my race..." Gohan said. "Your tail gave me the answer." Ledgic said. "Alright, then. No more fooling around." Gohan said. He started to make his yellow aura flare. "Massive energy product! Giru! Giru!" Giru said. "Wait... If Don Kee is right there, defenseless... Then..." Twilight said. "W-Wait! Wouldn't you want to see this fight end...?" Don Kee grasped. 'In my favor?' He thought. "Eh. Sure. Gohan's going to win anyway." Sunset said. Gohan turned into a Super Saiyan! "What!?" Ledgic asked. He instantly charged at Ledgic! "He's fast!" Ledgic muttered. He tried to block with his spear, but... Gohan smashed his fist into that and broke it! He put in the effort to punch into Ledgic's stomach! Ledgic dropped the broken pieces and grabbed the chained spikes. He tried stabbing them down on Gohan, but he smacked those two away! He kicked Ledgic upwards before using Instant Transmission to teleport behind him. He kicked him down and up and down and up and that went on. "Ledgic! Oh no!" Don Kee said. "What did I tell you?" Sunset asked. Gohan was just pummeling the crap out of Ledgic now. Ledgic tried to punch him, but Gohan flew over him and performed an axe kick on Ledgic, sending his flying at the throne room again. Ledgic stopped in mid air, at least, charging up his red blast in one palm. "Kamehame..." Gohan yelled, charging the blast in his palms. Ledgic screamed as he fired his tremendous red blast at Gohan. "HA!" Gohan yelled as he fired the devastating beam at Ledgic. That instantly overpowered Ledgic... BOOM! Ledgic was knocked into the palace once more. "Get up, Ledgic!" Don Kee yelled. Gohan landed in the palace. "Oh. So you're up." He said. "What...? I thought I..." Ledgic muttered. "You were really impressive. If you practiced a little more, you would've probably won. Maybe we can have another casual fight someday to test our progresses." Gohan said. Ledgic smiled. "You are an unusual child... No, you all are unusual children. Very strong indeed." He said. "Thanks for the compliments." Gohan said, powering down. Ledgic tried getting himself up, but recoiled in pain. "Are you alright?" Sunset asked. "I could heal you if you'd like." She added. "I'll be fine, thank you." Ledgic said, standing up. Don Kee was flabbergasted. "He won't!" Rainbow Dash said, pointing at Don Kee. Don Kee was struck full o fear. He grabbed armfuls of cash and dropped them by Ledgic. "Ledgic, I've been saving this for you! Finish them and it'll all be yours!" Don Kee said. "Didn't your mother tell you...?" Ledgic asked. Right before he kicked the fuck out of Don Kee! Right at the wall! "Money isn't everything." Ledgic said, walking away. "Mark my words. Next time, I will be victorious." He said to Gohan. "I'll be waiting." Gohan said with a smile. Ledgic flew away. Now the group focused their attention to Don Kee... Seeing he has no other option, he had a secret final weapon that could be used to get out of anything! Beg and plead! He got on his knees and bowed his head numerous times. "Please! Don't hurt me, I was wrong! If you spare me, I'll do anything you say!" He begged. "Heh. How do we all know y'all are tellin' the truth?" Applejack asked with a smirk. "I swear! I'll do anything!" Don Kee begged. "Then let's start with stopping rent charges!" Rainbow Dash said. "No, extremely cut rent charges!" Gohan said. "What? Why?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Taxes are imperative for government, Rainbow Dash." Twilight said. "Not a lot, but some." Gohan said. "At least give them free housing for a few months!" Pinkie said. "Free... Housing?" Don Kee asked. "Set your tax rate to 7%, not 70%." Gohan said. "T-That's impossible!" Don Kee said. "Guess the deal's off." Sunset said. "Gohan?" She asked. Gohan turned Super Saiyan. "I wonder how strong you are!" He said. He really knew it was pitiful. "O-Okay! I'll do it! I'll lower taxes tremendously!" Don Kee said. "I'll give the residents six months of free rent! The rent will only be a hundred a month! I'll even have the contracts to prove it!" He said. *** "I wonder how the youth are handling Don Kee..." A woman said. "Hopefully not hurt." The husband said. That being said... A giant crate was being carried by the group. Giru slacking off, obviously. The townsfolk moved away from the landing site for the crate, because that thing was as tall as a building. The crate opened. "Hey everyone! Here's a party present from Don Kee!" Pinkie said. "These are your rental contracts! For six months, you will have no rent, and after that, the rent will only be a hundred a month!" Twilight said. "Income tax is also only 7% now, so you can actually sustain your households!" Gohan said. "T-This is a dream come true...!" One said. "We must reward them for their hard work!" Another said. "Oh boy." Gohan said. "We'll give you a tour! Food and jewelry!" They all hollered. "Well... I guess this is somewhat of a happy ending...?" Sunset said. "I just wonder how they'll pamper us." Gohan said. "Will they charge us for that?" Goten asked. The group laughed. *** Next chapter little sneak peek... "I'm bored. I'm in the mood for a fight..." Author's Note Holy shit! I posted in less than a week! Anyway, next chapter will be out in five weeks! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Okay, but seriously I'm trying for a week or less.
Battle Between a God and a Mortal Pt. 1In a far away place in the universe... The Land of the Kais. The Supreme Kai, Kibito and Old Kai were standing up at this moment because... Something awful happened. Something they hoped would never happen again. "Have you sensed it too, you two?" Old Kai asked. "Yes." The Supreme Kai said. "He's certainly waking up early this time, isn't he?" Kibito asked. "I should've known... It never ends. Well, so long for our long lasting peace." Old Kai said. "The dust has barely settled since those worlds were made anew." The Supreme Kai said. "I assume the lower Kais know this, but I wouldn't take any chances. Perhaps we should let them know." Old Kai said. "Yes, I'll tell them now." The Supreme Kai said. "Should we inform Son Gohan?" Kibito asked. "Probably not. I know he has a better head than his bumbling father, but it's probably best he doesn't know this." Old Kai said. "I wonder how many planets will fall rampage to him this time..." Supreme Kai said. "Beerus the Destroyer awake already... I can't believe it. A few quick decades of calm... Well, not entirely calm. Especially with that mass murderer running around." Old Kai said. "I hope he won't meet Son Gohan... But Gohan can prevent fights... I believe." Kibito said. "Yes." The other two said. *** In another place in the universe... A place... More like a weird planet. https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRxT_cA-uzdUulFpmnmNNqTwh8t1KMGGeMMnyd6Sp6s2taPEdy_S6RtjWuf The lower part has a shape similar to a square pyramid flipped upside-down, and the top is made of a giant thick dead tree with a number of buildings on it. Several buildings of the temple are located on the giant tree. The top is the castle of Beerus, the Destroyer. And a hole was blew in it. His attendant, Whis, was walking up many stairs to Beerus. Beerus's bedroom was a place full of floating hourglasses. That was the explosive. "Lord Beerus, it's time to get up. Don't fall back asleep. Recall that it was you who set the alarm. It would be a shame to see you wake up to one of your backup alarms." Whis said. Then that backup alarm blew up. And another. "...Fine, Whis... I'm up." Beerus said. Whis took a deep breath. "I just don't want you sleeping another fifteen years too late and end up groggy like the last time. But, if you want some more coddling..." He said, clearing his threat and pulling a microphone out of nowhere. "I can always sing a song to wake you up." Whis said. "In that case... I know, I know! I only slept 42 years this time, so it only counts as a nap." Beerus said, getting up. "You're the one who decides the time you wake up, Lord Beerus. Anyways, why at this time? There's something concerning me." Whis said. "I'll explain later." Beerus said. *** Beerus was having a feast in his dining room. Surrounded by an aquarium. "By the way, Whis, did that upstart Frieza blow up Planet Vegeta like I asked...?" Beerus asked. "Yes. Without a trace left." Whis said. "Ah... Good to hear it. Those people on that planet were useless. King Vegeta was the worst. I would've loved to blow up the planet myself, but I was already beaten to it, don't you agree? I'd rather use the time for a nap." Beerus said. "That being said, I'm no fan of Frieza's either. If we cross paths again, I'll be glad to wipe that insubordinate out." He said, eating some meat. "That's impossible, I'm afraid. During your nap, someone has already killed him." Whis said. Beerus spit out his food. "What!?" He asked. "Twice, in fact. He was resurrected once only to fail again." Whis said. "You mean there are two people more powerful than Frieza!?" Beerus asked. "Allow me to explain." Whis said, pulling out his staff out of nowhere. He tapped it in the ground to create a projection. The scene was Goku finally turning into the legendary Super Saiyan. "Huh... This seems familiar. Who's that man in orange and blue...?" Beerus asked. "He is a Saiyan. He answers to both the name Kakarot and Goku." Whis said. "When you said Planet Vegeta was no more, I assumed you meant the same for the Saiyans." Beerus said. "Yes, most of them did perish. However, a few happened to be on other worlds at the time it was destroyed. Including, the currently deceased king's heir, Vegeta." Whis said. "Isn't Saiyan hair supposed to be black? I'm surprised that a Saiyan could be even capable of defeating Frieza." Beerus said. "The Saiyans have harnessed a potent technique that increases their battle power many times fold. It's called a Super Saiyan." Whis said. "A Super Saiyan...? Wait a second... Super Saiyan... That's it! That's exactly what it was!" Beerus said. "What what was, my lord?" Whis asked. "Let's see... It was Super Saiyan something... Uh... Super Saiyan God!" Beerus said. "Yes! I had a dream about it! A vivid dream that I was fighting a Super Saiyan God that looks just like him!" Beerus said. "Huh. I'm afraid that's also impossible. He is currently dead as well." Whis said. "What!?" Beerus asked. "However... His offspring seems to be alive and well." Whis said, changing the scene to Gohan's battle with Frieza. "Heh. The Saiyans look even more like monkeys now." Beerus said. "And... Wait... Is this one a Super Saiyan as well?" He asked. "Yes. A variation of the form known as Super Saiyan 4." Whis said. "Hm... I didn't think Saiyans could evolve so massively." Beerus said. "There are only three remaining in the universe." Whis said. "I know when I see a Super Saiyan God. Or, what I felt in my dream, at least." Beerus said. "That's right... The Oracle Fish prophesised that you would fight an arch rival..." Whis said. "It would be insane to think you would have an arch rival, Lord Beerus." He said. "Even if the Oracle Fish exaggerated the strength of my new foe, it's exciting to think someone as strong as the Super Saiyan God in my dream could actually exist. Whis, where is the offspring of the one called Goku...?" Beerus asked. "He has two sons. Son Gohan and Son Goten. Son Gohan was the one who killed Frieza for a second time. They currently reside on Planet Equestria..." Whis said. "That's a planet I remember vividly. Princess Celestia just banished her sister to the moon because I said so! After screwing with her sister's mind. It's very close by, if I remember clearly." Beerus said. "I want to depart immediately for Equestria!" He demanded. "Alright, then." Whis said. A nightmare has begun. Author's Note I have some bad news. On the 20th, I am truly fucked on trying to write this story because I'm going to be busy as hell. Please bear with me even though I've been barely posting recently. I hope I can get one more chapter in before I send this into hiatus mode.
Battle Between a God and a Mortal Pt. 12Back at the castle... Most of the guests had left. The party was not only ruined, but it was dangerous to stay there. Our main cast were still there. Shining Armor, Celestia and Luna were trying to get Goku back on his feet. With ~~KiPR~~ magic. They tried numerous spells to wake him up. Flurry Heart was on Shining Armor's back, sucking her hoof. She was sound asleep.... The Crusaders were crying, and everyone else was trying to help them cope. Except Pinkie. Pinkie was just sitting in the corner with her Mane flattened, because she genuinely felt bad for all of this. 'It's all my fault...' She thought. "Come on...!" Shining Armor said, performing another spell. It was electric. ZAP! And... Goku jolted awake, sitting up in an instant. "Gohan! Goten? Chi Chi?" He asked, looking around. "Wait a second... You're not- Oh." He said. "Oh, thank goodness you're awake." Celestia said. "It took a lot of spells, because your body is really stubborn..." Shining Armor said. "Oh... Really? Wait, where are my sons?" Goku asked, looking around. "Gohan's off fighting Lord Beerus, and... uh..." Celestia said, trying to find the right words. Goku wasn't listening. "I can sense Gohan in that direction... I also feel somewhat of Goten... In the exact same place? Huh?" Goku asked. "What are you talking about?" Luna asked. "Sorry, but I've never felt Gohan like this before. I need to see what's happening." Goku said, standing up. "Wait, you just got up! Aren't you exhausted?" Shining Armor asked. "Uh... Not really." Goku said. ... "...Bye!" He said, flying off. "...Did we use a regeneration spell?" Shining Armor asked. "Possibly." Luna said. *** "What the heck... The other pudding spoiled brat?" Beerus asked. Gohan's aura was huge, but that mirage of Goten was just a little smaller. That mirage soon disappeared, and Gohan's aura turned back to normal. "What happened to Gohan now?" Twilight asked. "It looks awesome!" Rainbow Dash said. Beerus retaliated with his own aura. You could just hear the Hero - FLOW song. 時に- I'm not going to write the song for you. Our two warriors charged at each other, with Beerus screaming his head off. He had his purple aura while Gohan had his yellow sparkly aura... They both parried a punch before flying off course. But they charged back at each other clashing a kick this time. And they charged back at each other again, only for Beerus to block Gohan's punch. Beerus retaliated by throwing his own punch, but Gohan actually teleported beneath it. He punched Beerus in the stomach! A direct hit! Beerus was sent flying away. At an angle of which he left Neighagra Falls but also reached the clouds. Gohan instantly chased him, leaving nothing but a darting sound and winds behind him. Our two flew straight into the skies, ignoring the bystanding pegasi. They kept throwing punches and kicks, and only occasionally they hit the other person. So much parrying... Their auras clashed in the air as well. First Gohan finally managed to hit Beerus in the face, but then Beerus managed to hit Gohan in the face, then Gohan managed to punch Beerus in the stomach, and immediately afterwards Beerus punched Gohan in the stomach. This is happening in the midst of some barrage of punches. Gohan threw an extremely heavy punch at Beerus, getting him right in the face! Beerus was sent flying past the clouds, spinning repeatedly. He almost hit a pegasus. Gohan teleported even above that to drop kick him straight down. Our two flew all over the clouds, punching, kicking, clashing, nearly knocking into the neighboring pegasi... There are so many holes in the clouds, holy fuck knuckles. I am high as a kite. *** Meanwhile... Our three main ponies... "They're moving so fast! Can any of you catch any of this?" Twilight asked. The other two shook their heads. "Nope, totally lost." Goku said, startling everyone. You know, with an "AH!" "When did you get here!?" Rainbow Dash asked. "When they started to fight." Goku said. *** Our fight was taken to the upper atmosphere, WAY above the clouds. You could see space. Shockwaves from the mere clashing of attacks could be seen from the lit surface. Our two separated for a quick moment, only for Beerus to smile lightly and lose his aura. Gohan charged at him again, and they started the clashing all over again. "If you like dishing out death, then FINE!" He screamed, punching Beerus in the face. "The human body is comprised of approximately 70% water!" He screamed, kicking Beerus away. "I am 100% death!" He screamed. His aura flared at it's brightest. The mirage of Goten in the exact same pose appeared once again. (bent over with bent knees while looking up.) Gohan cupped his hands together, a blue light appearing in between them. Mirage Goten did the same pose. "HAVE SOME!" He screamed. Beerus was about 100 feet away from Gohan at an upwards angle of 45 degrees. "Go on!" Beerus yelled, aiming his hands upwards. He formed his Sphere of Destruction, a sphere that resembled a yellow star. But it was much smaller, yet more destructive. It was a nice big ball. "Feel free!" He yelled, throwing the ball down at Gohan. "Kamehame... HRAAAAAAAAAAA!" Gohan screamed at the top of his lungs. The two attacks clashed, making for a mini sun with some blue lasers. But those two attacks were making ungodly winds, they could be felt from all over Equestria. *** "I think that's his Kamehameha!" Twilight said. She covered her eyes because it was hard to see. "No kidding!" Goku said, barely managing to see. *** Gohan put nearly everything he had into his blast. Both his and Beerus' blasts were just clashing there. "If you're just going to kill my brother, then FINE!" Gohan screamed. "I'll just do the same, FOR YOU!" He screamed. At that moment, flew into his own Kamehameha. "You know it's pointless to- Huh?" Beerus asked. Gohan was performing the Dragon Hammer! Well, Kamehameha then a Dragon Fist. He wound up with left arm. "SUPER DRAGON FIST! HRAAAAGH!" He screamed. In that moment, Goten's mirage disappeared. But in his place, a giant golden dragon emerged! It instantly destroyed Beerus' blast, exploding it to tiny ki droplets! It was headed straight for Beerus! Beerus seemed unprepared for the attack... He screamed right before the dragon came in contact, and...! BOOM! Yellow smoke and explosion! It was as if a solar flare occurred! On Equestria, it was just pure confusion. What the hell is that in the sky? The clouds are being moved and it sucks! Now the weather team has to put them back! Everyone was just confused. Back to our, well, fight. The explosion finally started to die down. We could see Gohan, who was no longer a Super Saiyan 4, but a mere Saiyan. He was panting, out of energy. He looked up to the smoke with a grin. The taste of vengeance... 'I did it for you, Goten...' He thought. ... "Was that really all?" Beerus asked from inside the smoke. Gohan looked in shock. "N-No... Way..." He said. Beerus just made the smoke clear all at once. "That was a pretty impressive attack. You had me get serious for a moment there." He said. "It... It can't..." Gohan said, in major disbelief. You know, kind of like how a bunch of people were when Trump was elected? "But that's enough. It's my turn." Beerus said. He created yet another Sphere of Destruction. "No...!" Gohan said. 'How...!? The dragon fist couldn't do it...!?' He thought. "Now, how about you have some death!?" Beerus yelled, throwing the massive, starlike ball at Gohan. "I... I have to stop that from hitting Equestria...!" Gohan yelled. He grunted angrily. "Damn it!" He yelled. The Sphere of Destruction was very close. Gohan mustered the little energy he had left to try and push it. He grunted in extreme pain, trying his hardest. He ended up going Super Saiyan, and his aura flared everywhere. It had no pattern. The scorching ball let off some residue, making it even harder. Alas, the ball pushed him back very slowly. Beerus aimed his finger at the sphere, and fired two more blasts into it. Now there was a bigger and stronger sphere. At this point, the scorching got so intense that Gohan's arms started bleeding. "I WON'T LET YOU!" He screamed. "Come, now. Stop fighting and rest in peace!" Beerus said. "SHUT UP!" Gohan screamed. The ball was really too much for him, that he gone slightly enveloped by it. "SHUT UP!" He screamed again, as if he were about to cry. Goten had to be avenged, and Equestria needed to be saved. Gohan desperately smashed his fist into the sphere in a fit of rage, actually managing to shake it. He screamed in utmost pain. The sphere was just too powerful! He started to think of a plan... But there was none. *** "What's happening!?" Rainbow Dash asked. "That's not good...!" Goku said. "What!?" Cadence asked. "Gohan's already exhausted too much energy! That blast is going to kill him!" Goku said. "Then what do we do!?" Twilight asked. Goku did the only thing he knew what to do. "I have to help my son." He said. He darted straight for Gohan! "Are you insane!?" The three asked. *** Gohan put all of his strength into pushing the ball back, but it was no use. His body was shutting down. Then.... He finally gave up. He took something reminiscent of a last breath. Gohan closed his eyes, and the sphere just started to take him. He reverted... It was pointless to fight... But... It made him think. He remembered all the good times his world had given him... The acceptance, happiness and forgiveness... His friends, both human and pony... Sunset... Goku... Goten... And... And... Gohan clenched his fists. It's as if someone just blasted him full of energy again. Gohan sprung back up into the ball! He was determined to stop it at all costs! He powered up into a Super Saiyan 2, screaming his head off. Voice cracks and everything! I think he needs throat surgery... Gohan powered up, and his aura... Had a hint of blue inside yellow? His pupils just disappeared, and then... With a flash of light... BOOM! That star attack is gone! It's remnants of plasma flew everywhere in space, and eventually disappeared. Beerus was shocked. Gohan was revealed to be back to his normal form. Panting, and no more energy. His gi was a little torn and dirty. He was falling towards Equestria. He had no more fight in him anymore. For real. No round 6 bullshit, he was done. No more. He did all he could. "Gohan!" Goku yelled. He was flying after his son. He caught Gohan before he combusted. "Oh no... I'm too late..." He said. Beerus flew down so that he was on Goku's level. "...How'd you do that...?" He asked. Gohan managed to open his eyes and looked to the side. "W...Wha...What?" He asked in between pants. "What was that power?" Beerus asked. "I... I don't... Know..." Gohan said in between pants. "Save your energy, my son." Goku said. "D-Dad..." Gohan said, looking up to his father. The look on his face meant that he accepted fate as well. "You don't know...? What a fascinating creature." Beerus said. He aimed his hand at Goku and Gohan, holding some destruction energy inside it. Goku and Gohan accepted their fates... Until... Beerus just stopped. "What the...? Why'd you stop?" Goku asked. "I just want to hear you say that you give up." Beerus said. Gohan looked over to Beerus with the tiny strength he had left. "I give up... I gave you all I had... In the end, there's no way for me to beat you." He said. "You're a god. I'm just a human. I don't compare." Gohan said. "Well, I'm glad you've finally realized the terror that is Beerus the Destroyer. But I know strength when I see it, and yours is formidable. I've lived for much longer than you can comprehend, and in all my travels and fights, you're the strongest mortal I've ever met." Beerus said. Gohan made a weak chuckle. "Thanks, Lord Beerus." He said. "I'm so proud of you." Goku said. "Thanks, dad..." Gohan said. "...But you're only the second strongest warrior I've faced." Beerus said. "Huh? Well, that's to be expected..." Gohan said. "Who's the first?" Goku asked. "Where is he..." Beerus said to himself, looking around. And Whis just happened to be there. "Hello!" He said. "See my attendant, Whis, over there?" Beerus asked. "Yeah..." Our Saiyans said. "While it's true that he waits on me hand and foot, he's also my teacher." Beerus said. "Seriously? Does that not mean you're the strongest in the universe...?" Goku asked. "It depends on which reality you're referring to. I'm the Destroyer of this universe. The seventh. But there are others, too. Twelve universes altogether. And some have spawned warriors even mightier than us." Beerus said. Gohan couldn't help but weakly chuckle. Despite being told he's weak. Beerus finally aimed his hand at them once more, ready to finish this. "Wait, Lord Beerus." Goku said. "What is it now." Beerus said. "We want to say goodbye to everyone... Before we die." Goku said. "...Please. It's our last request to be together." He pleaded. ... "...All right, fine. Only because your son put up an amazing fight." Beerus said. "Thanks, Lord Beerus." Goku said. *** The castle... The Crusaders finally stopped crying, but Pinkie was still all sad. Our three spectators came back to the castle. They landed. "Twilight, Cadence, Rainbow Dash..." Celestia said. Shining Armor and Cadence hugged. Cadence took the baby with her magic. "Did you manage to see the fight?" Luna asked. "Some parts... They moved too fast for us." Twilight said. "Where is Son Goku?" Luna asked. "I think he's up there with- Oh. There he is." Rainbow Dash said, pointing a hoof. Beerus, Whis, and Goku holding Gohan were coming down. "...It seems Gohan has finally accepted defeat..." Celestia said. "Huh... Didn't think it would go out like this." Shining Armor said. Our four landed... "It isn't often that I give a last request, but he put up an astounding fight, so I'll allow your goodbyes." Beerus said. "Thanks, Lord Beerus." Goku said. Celestia and Luna looked at each other, as if to say, "When does that ever happen?" The other ponies all rushed outside. "Are you alright?" Fluttershy asked Gohan. "I'm fine... Don't worry about me." Gohan said. Gohan tried to get up from Goku's arms, but he was too weak. "It's okay, Gohan. You don't have to hurt yourself anymore." Goku said. Pinkie came closest to Gohan. "Gohan... I'm sorry..." She said. A tear came to her eye. "It...Its okay..." Gohan said. Pinkie couldn't understand that, but yelling before they all died isn't a good idea. "I'm sorry I couldn't win... I gave it all I had..." Gohan said. "We can't be angry at y'all..." Applejack said. ... "Are you done?" Beerus asked. "I suppose so..." Celestia said. Beerus aimed his hand at Gohan. Destruction formed in his palm. Everyone got together for a group hug. Well, with Goku and Gohan at the center. "Goodbye, everyone..." Gohan said. Beerus was about to end it all. But, suddenly... "Ugh... Urgh..." He grunted. "Is something wrong, my lord?" Whis asked. Suddenly, Beerus started screaming as if someone was stabbing him. Everyone was just shocked and confused. Then... Beerus just vanished. "Er..." Whis responded... Then he suddenly turned to stone. Now everyone was just confused as to what just happened. And then he just vanished. What just happened...? *** In the Land of the Kais... Everyone was dead. By that, I mean every Kai there had slash marks on their chests. They died. A shadowy figure stood beside their corpses. The Kais all vanished, since that's what happens when they die. The figure just laughed, looking into the crystal ball. "Beerus the Destroyer... Pah! Couldn't even realize what was happening under his nose." The shadowy figure looked to the skies. "My next stop... Equestria..." Author's Note Holy shit, I actually posted quickly for once! Bet you didn't expect this, huh? On a side note, Beerus is dead. Who killed him? Only I know. Let's do some power leveling since I'm a douchebag. Quake of Fury SSJ4 Gohan - 500,000,000,000,000,000,000 Too long for your phone to read? Don't worry, they're only going to get much worse. The next chapter is...!? ...Not featuring the murderer in this chapter. No. One more story before that. Final note: We hit 100 likes! I expected this story to just be as bad as my last one. (DO NOT GO NEAR IT. YOU WILL GET CANCER. DON'T EVEN GO NEAR IT WITH A TEN FOOT POLE. IT CAN GIVE YOU CANCER JUST BY LOOKING AT IT, SO STAY AWAY.) Okay, before the next chapter, I have to finish editing, so expect a little wait.
