Ponyballz: adventures in Equestria
The ticket Master! Cyre the teacher?
Previous ChapterNext Chapter"are you sure about this, sister?" It is now a week ago since nightmare moon was defeated by Cyre and co.
"I'm positive, little sister. If I wasn't sure if you could, I wouldn't have brought it up."Everypony she ever knew had died off a very long time ago, leaving her sister as the only Pony she knew. It was a little sad to think about. Her subjects, her friends, they were all gone. Of course, she was sure she would make some new acquaintances, and maybe even friends, but it wouldn't be the same. It would never be the same.
"But... it's been so long, and I've done some pretty awful things." As much as the Princess of the Night didn't want to think about her time as Nightmare Moon she knew she couldn't ignore it. It happened, and she had to live with it. Would she ever forgive herself... she wasn't sure if she could, but she realized only time could tell her that. So for now she just had to worry about fitting in and getting up to snuff on what she missed, which wasn't as easy as her sister was making it sound.
A small frown came to Princess Celestia's face. "I can't even begin to imagine what you're going through." She paused when she noticed her sister looking down, literally, so she walked over and placed her hoof under her sister's chin and raised her head up. "But I want you to know that I'm here for you. No matter what happens we'll get through it together little sister. I love you Luna, and I'll always be here for you."
Tears were streaming down Luna's face, and she had to wipe them away with her hoof. Celestia pulled her in for a big, comforting hug. as long as she had her sister she knew that everything would be alright. "I love you too Celestia."
"997...998...999...1000!!!" Cyre was Busy training in the gravity room, which he brought with him from Earth. He was training at x750 normal gravity. His regimen: 1,000 pull ups, 1000 sit ups, and drink plenty of juice. Immediatly after he took a shower. Once that was done, Cyre headed into ponyville to meet pinkie pie for something sweet. On the way he ran into rainbow dash. "Oh hey Dashie! What are you up to?" Rainbow had an unidentifiable look on her face at the nick name. Eventually she recomposed herself and answered. "Oh, nothing for now, what about you Cy?" Cyre realized she was trying to get back at him for calling her Dashie, but the response the loyal Pegasus gained wasn't what she was hoping for. "Nice nick name you gave me! I kinda like it!" Rainbow was starting to get angry at Cyre, but then remembered that he could've killed Nightmare moon, and that she was nowhere near her level, so she had to let it go for now. "Great.... Anyway, I was going to to sugarcube corner for something sweet."Cyre replied. "Yeah, whatever Cyre. Anyway, I wasn't doing anything." All of a sudden Applejack came up to them, and it looked like she wanted something. "Hey guys how's it goin'?" She asked.
"Nothing really...." Rainbow replied rather dull.
"Well that's... nice, anyway ah need some help applebuckin' and ah was wonderin' if ya could help Rainbow?"
Rainbow Dash didn't really want to spend her day applebucking, even if it was to help out a friend. "Sorry Applejack, but I'm going to be busy most of the day. I'm sure Cyre will help you."
The biggest look of fear came onto Applejack's face, as she had vivid memories of the last time he 'helped' her. Needless to say it didn't end well for her, or for her orchard. "Ah don't want him anywhere near mah apple trees!" She yelled hastily, earning herself some curious looks from some nearby Ponies. "Ah guess Twilight and ah can handle it." With a sigh the blonde Pony went back to her orchard.
Cyre started to walk off. "Hey, where are you going?" rainbow asked hastily. Cyre just deadpanned. "Right.... Sugarcube corner..." Cyre nodded and left. A few minutes later he arrived. Although it was Ms.Cake at the register, though it did not make a difference to Cyre. "Oh, hi dearie! What can I do for you?" Cyre smiled and asked for a whole Manehattan cheesecake. It was his favorite cake.... In fact, it was the only cake he decently likes... Ms. Cake nodded and brought a box of it to the counter. "That'll be twenty bits." Cyre pulled out a twenty bit coin and handed it to her. She took it and handed Cyre the box. Cyre than waved and left the store. But there was a commotion outside.
he noticed his friends arguing.He could see Twilight about to tell them to stop but he was already a few steps ahead. He let out a powerful shout which blew his friends back a few feet, thus making them stop arguing.
The Ponies got back up and noticed the Saiyan was there, and they realized the shout had to have come from him. Pinkie, however, didn't realize the argument had stopped. "And then I said, "Oatmeal, are you craz-" oh."
He now had their attention. "Just a few days ago you all defeated Nightmare Moon together, and now here you are at each others' throats." The Saiyan noted.
"I have two tickets to the Grand Galloping Gala, and all of my friends want to go... except for Spike" Twilight explained.
"A gala?"
"How could you have never heard of a gala before?" Rarity asked in shock.
"Well you had never heard of a Saiyan before you met me." He smirked, making the mare grumble to herself.
"A gala is basically a formal party." The cyan Pegasus explained.
He looked at all of them and noticed the look of desperation on all of their faces. "So you all want to go?" He received several nods. "All right, then there's only one way to settle this... a martial arts tournament, and the winner will receive the ticket. So who wants to fight me in the first round?" He noticed that they all looked completely horrified, and after a few seconds he started laughing. "Oh man you should see your faces, you actually thought I wanted to fight for the ticket." He just kept on laughing to himself.
"So you don't want to go?" Pinkie Pie asked as his laughter died down.
"I don't really care."
Everypony except Twilight sighed in relief, as they all had a better chance at the ticket now.
Before any more arguments could break out the lavender Unicorn needed to set them straight. "This is my decision, and I'm gonna make it on my own, and I certainly can't think straight with all this noise..." Once again her stomach rumbled. "not to mention hunger. Now go on, shoo."
Everypony walked away grumbling to themselves. Cyre left and went back to his capsule ship to eat the cheesecake he bought. Just as he was about to take a huge bite out of the first slice, somepony was knocking on his door. He opened the door to see... Princess Luna? To say that Cyre was surprised would be an understatement. "P-princess Luna? What are you doing here?" Luna hesitated before speaking. "If it would not trouble you, we request for you to be our master, and train us to be stronger...." Cyre always wanted to have someone to teach his skills to, and if she wanted to train with him, he had nothing against it. Cyre nodded and let Luna walk to the center before telling her to sit down. "Okay, now I want your to relax and concentrate. focus on your energy." Luna did as instructed and before long, she felt an energy starting to build inside of her. "I can feel it inside of me, Cyre...." Cyre smiled and told her to push it out. Luna did so and when she opened her eyes, she was covered in a flaming tranquil blue aura. Only it was 50% darker than normal. "Alright Luna, you learn fast! Now, try to form a ball Of ki in your hoof. Don't feel bad if you don't get it on your first try. Luna raised her hoof and strained and concentrated on it. The space around her gained a golden glow, as a ball of ki formed. Cyre couldn't believe what he was seeing. She got all of this on her first try. Sure, the same went for himself, but he didn't see anyone (or anypony) else Learn it that fast. Luna calmed down and got up to Cyre. "I think that'll be enough for now, Luna. I'll teach you more advanced stuff later." Luna nodded and stared intently at Cyre with a blush on her face. "Luna are you okay? You've been staring at me for the last two minutes...." Luna immediately jumped out of her daze and miserably tried to explain herself. "We're sorry, we were just.... Just....uh.... Goodbye now!" Luna opened the door and quickly flew out. Cyre in the meantime, was just confused, not having a clue to what was wrong with Luna. Cyre decided to pay twilight a visit.While on his way to the library Cyre noticed Twilight and Spike were being chased by several Ponies, and it seemed that word of the extra ticket got out fast. He followed after them and noticed the duo were cornered by those Ponies, and by the sounds of it they all wanted that extra ticket. In this moment the Saiyan decided to help out Twilight in the only way he could. He hovered above everypony and created a huge ball of energy in his left hand. "Hey unless you want to get hit by this I suggest you leave!"
They all looked up and noticed the giant ball of light, and remembering what happened with Nightmare Moon they all ran for it.
A big sigh of relief escaped the Unicorn's mouth as she watched him land close by. "Cyre thank Celestia you came... wait were you actually going to throw that?" She questioned, all the while hoping that he wasn't serious.
"No, but it did make them leave."
She once again sighed in relief, although she wasn't too thrilled with his method of scaring away the horde of Ponies. The Unicorn would have to contemplate that later though as she had more important matters to attend to. "I still can't decide who to give the ticket to."
"It's really that difficult huh?" The saiyan questioned.
"This is a huge decision, and I just don't want to disappoint anypony." Twilight told him.
Cyre offered her a small smile. "Well I'm sure you'll figure it out."
A few moments later they reached the library, and as soon as they walked in they caught sight of their friends. And it was at this point, that Twilight snapped. "Yaaaargh! I can't decide, I just can't decide. It's important to all of you and I just can't stand to disappoint any of you, and giving me gifts and doing me favors won't make any difference, because you're all my friends and I wanna make you all happy and I can't, I just can't!" She exclaimed.
Applejack frowned as she approached her troubled friend. "Twilight, sugar, I didn't mean to put so much pressure on you, and if it helps, I don't want the ticket anymore. You can give it to somepony else. I won't feel bad, I promise."
"Me too. I feel just awful that I made you feel so awful." Fluttershy lamented.
"And me too. It's no fun upsetting your friends."
"Twilight, it was unfair of me to try to force you as I did." Rarity explained.
The cyan Pegasus had a different attitude however. "Yes! That means the ticket is mine. Ha ha, I got the ticket, I got the ticket-" She received dirty looks from everypony, including Cyre. "You know, I haven't perfected my signature moves for The Wonderbolts anyway. I don't need that ticket either."
"I think some Ponies need to apologize. Now." Cyre stated firmly.
"We're sorry, Twilight."
"Spike, take down a note." Once her assistant was ready she began. "Dear Princess Celestia, I've learned that one of the joys of friendship is sharing your blessings, but when there's not enough blessings to go around, having more than your friends can make you feel pretty awful. So, though I appreciate the invitation, I will be returning both tickets to The Grand Galloping Gala." Her decision shocked her friends. "If my friends can't all go, I don't wanna go either."
"You mean all of this was for nothing?" The Saiyan asked, getting a nod from the blue-maned Pony. "Well this was anticlimactic."
"I've made up my mind. Spike, you can send the letter now."
The young drake took in a deep breath before blowing green fire at the letter, sending it to Canterlot.
"Now you won't get to go to the gala either." The shy Pegasus noted.
"It's okay, girls. I couldn't possibly enjoy myself without my best friends there with me, so I would rather not go at all."
"Hgh... hgh... urk... urk..."
Applejack shook her head in disapproval. "Well wallop my withers, Spike. Isn't that just like a boy? Can't handle the least bit of sentiment. You don't see Cyre over there doing this."
Right after that Spike started to feel strange, but it was only because he received a letter from Princess Celestia. He opened it up and read it. "My faithful student Twilight, Why didn't you just say so in the first place? Six tickets to The Grand Galloping Gala."
Everypony started to cheer because they could all go, but their happiness was interrupted by a rumble in Twilight's stomach. "Allow us to treat you to dinner." The Henerous mare told her starving friend.
"I just hope you have enough bits on you." Cyre grinned, making everypony laugh.
They exited the library, with the Ponies taking their tickets on the way out, but the baby Dragon wasn't as happy as the Ponies were. "How come we didn't get tickets?" He asked in despair.
"And here I thought you didn't want to go." The Saiyan snickered.
Spike then received yet another letter from Celestia. "And here is one for you and Cyre." There were two tickets inside and Spike started to cheer to himself, but quickly stopped upon receiving snickers from his friends. "I mean,gross, I have to go too?"
Both Applejack and Cyre chuckled as they met up with the rest of their friends. ' I will never let spike live this down.' Cyre thought.
