"Woah nelly 'Shy, never would'a thought you'd have in in ya." Stated the orange pony, tipping her stetson hat in respect.

"H-Huh? O-Oh, I didn't mean to yell, I'm sorry... It's just... I don't want to see my friends fight... It's not how friends should act..." Fluttershy expressed, sullen after realizing her sudden outburst.

"Wait a moment, 'friends'? Fluttershy, are you telling me you've befriended this..." The purple haired pony trailed off.

"His name is Goku," began Twilight, "and he's a 'saiyan' raised on 'Earth'."

Goku frowned. "H-Hey, that's my line!" He scratched his head. "So uh, who're you all?"

"These are our friends, Goku. The elements." Twilight raised a hoof in the direction of the 4 other mares.

"The uh... elements? What, is that like some sort of secret club or somethin'?"

Pinkie Pie spoke up. "Nah, if we were a club we'd have a clubhouse!" She giggled at the thought of a clubhouse modeled off her friends, where they all dance to a song about hotdogs while helping ponies with problems.

"We're more like... hmm..." Twilight places a hoof on her chin. "-How can I put this without sounding boastful..."

"We're the super awesome mega defenders of Equestria! Saving the day by beating evil princesses and turning chaotic noodle monsters into stone!" Boasted the rainbow haired one.

"Being humble is definitely not your strong suit, Rainbow." Twilight rolled her eyes.

"I'm Rainbow Dash, the element of loyalty!" Loyal to her friends, and her ego. "And uh, I still don't trust you, but if Flutters' does then I'll try and make an exception for her sake."

"I'm Applejack, the element of honesty." Honest to a fault at times. "And I think ya owe me an apology for wrecking my farm."

"Huh? That was you? Oh, I really am sorry then. I didn't mean to... well... turn your farm into apple juice."

Applejack sighed. "No harm done, Princess Celestia was kind enough to give us funds to help restore it'ta it's former glory. But, it's gonna take months to grow new trees to replace the ones your ship doo-hickey dun smashed. You owe us, got it?"

"Uh, well... I'm not sure how I could help, but I do feel bad so... sure?" Goku replied, albeit reluctantly.

"Good. I'll keep ya to that." Uh-oh.

Pinkie once again entered Goku's personal space without his knowing. How does she do that? Goku's starting to wonder if she's a martial artist. Maybe they could go a few rounds?

"I'm Pinkie Pie! But you already knew that, didn't you! What you didn't know, is that I'm the element of laughter! See!" Pinkie then proceeded to laugh hysterically, as if she'd belted out the funniest joke she could think of. She's funny, not crazy, we promise.

"I, dear, am Rarity. I am known as the element of generosity." Because reversing pre-concieved notions on snobby characters is clever or something. "And, please do not take offense, but your clothing is not but a sin to even gaze upon! What could have caused such a terrible disfiguration?"

"Aww man! Am I gonna have'ta tell the whole story again?" Goku protested, scratching the brim of his nose. He also has no idea what half those words she said were.

"We can fill them in later, so don't worry." Said Fluttershy, "I am the element of kindness." Kind to all, unless she's mad at saiyans and rainbow haired ponies.

"And I," Twilight dramatically paused, "am the element of magic." Pride shining through her cadence.

Goku furled an eyebrow. "Huh? Something ain't right there. Everyone's got this 'element' thing based off emotions 'n stuff, but yours is different. Was everything else taken or somethin'?"

Twilight blushed furiously. "W-What? No! I-It's symbolic for the magic of friendship, one of the most wondrous things to share between ponies!"

"Symbollic?"

Twilight deadpans. "Ugh, the symbolism is wasted on you. Anyway, we as the elements are tasked with protecting Ponyville, along with all other parts of Equis, with the Elements of Harmony. They combine our friendship into one, harmonizing us, and warding off evil."

"So, you don't actually fight or anything? Sounds kind'a lame."

"Hey, you take that back! The Elements of Harmony are the most powerful things in all of Equestria and Equis alike! And we totally do fight 'n stuff!" Shouted Rainbow Dash. This monkey thinks he can just mock the elements of harmony? Who does he think he is?

"Really? Can I see?"

"Sure, they'll totally vaporize you though!" Rainbow puffed out her chest, with a smug grin.

"Rainbow, the elements only affect evil. And even though we just met Goku, he seems far from it. He's a bit too... ehm..." Twilight trailed off, she didn't want to sound rude with her next choice of words.

"And you just believed whatever he said? Look, I know I said I'd make an exception for him but how can we really trust him?"

"Well, I placed a spell on him, so if he ever lied during his story we would-"

"So? He's an alien from some planet we had no idea even existed! What if he has some weird magicy voo-doo stuff that stopped your spell from working?" Rainbow questioned. "I mean, he totally wrecked AJ's farm, and did... something, to make Flutter's bear hate his guts! Also, Princess Celestia now has a whole lot more problems to deal with because of him! Why should I trust his word, when he could have... alter...oolter...?" Rainbow trailed off.

"Ulterior." Twilight implemented.

"Yeah, ulterior! What if he has ulterior motives!" Rainbow finished. There was a brief silence. Goku opened his mouth as if he were to respond, but another voice disrupted the silence before he could.

"I trust 'im."

"What?" Rainbow turned her heard towards Applejack, raising an eyebrow at her friend.

"I said, I trust 'im. I know a liar when I see 'em, and that's before they even say a word. This 'Goku' feller doesn't seem to be much for deception. Trust me, Rainbow. If not him, me."

"I..." Rainbow trailed off. She can't argue with the element of honesty, it's in the frikkin' name!

Goku sighs. This is his mess. He wanted to see his fight to the end instead of finishing Frieza off, and look where it got him. Being a burden to enhabitants of some foreign planet.

"Look, I get why you wouldn't trust me. So far after landing on this planet, all I've done is cause trouble. But believe me, I'd like to go home just as much as you don't want me here. There are people waiting for me back on Earth. But, I'll be needing the pod I came here to do just that."

Twilight grits her teeth. Does he not know? She remembers telling him.

"Ahem. I do believe the Princess has it at Canterlot, but..." Rarity pauses. "After your 'abrupt arrival', it is most likely out of commission."

Goku's eyes widen, the 'Rarity' pony is right. That pod's probably busted up good after Goku's landing, and he has no idea how to fix it. Not only that, but even if it is somehow in working condition, there's no way Goku would be able to send it's coordinates back home. Only those 'Gyunyu' guys knew how to operate it, all Goku did was button mash until it sent him somewhere.

Oh wait, there's another option.

"Hey, uh, Twilight! What about that teleporty thing you did earlier? Could you maybe try that?" Goku asks.

Twilight shakes her head. "Teleportation is limited. Not only is travelling long distance incredibly straining on ones magical usage, but I also have to have some sort of knowledge about the location in order to focus on it and teleport to it. For all we know, your home planet is trillions of miles away. No pony has ever been documented to teleport such a distance. Sorry."

Well there goes that option. Goku isn't sure what to do. Will he ever be able to get back home? Goku displays a disgruntled expression.

Pinkie notices this. She doesn't like when ponies are sad, not even monkey ponies. "Don't be so down, Goku! That just means you've just gotta stay a teeny-weeny~ bit longer so we can figure this out!" Pinkie smiles, not in her trademark wide-grin, but a reassuring smile. Goku scratched his nose, grinning a bit.

"I'll be sending a letter to the Princess in order to update her on these events. She'll know what to do, I'm sure of it."

"Yeah," said Pinkie. "So don't you worry your furless head over it!"

Goku chuckled a bit. He feels that it'd be best to trust these ponies, in this game of patience. He's also curious about this magic stuff, so maybe in the meantime he could ask a few questions about it and find out if it's possible for him to do it himself.

Applejack yawns. "I dunno 'bout y'all, but I'm pooped. I'd say we jus' hit the hay, and worry 'bout this whole ordeal in the mornin'."

"Applejack does have a point," stated Rarity, "it's getting awfully late. A lady must never skip her beauty sleep, you know."

"B-But, where will Goku be staying?" Fluttershy asks.

Everypony pauses. Twilight speaks up. "I could bring him to my treehouse, I've got a spare bed I no longer use in my basement, he could sleep there for the meantime while we settle everything."

"Whatever works, Twi. Just make sure none of them ponies notice 'im, it'll be panic in Ponyville." Applejack yawns again. "Well, I'm headin' back to the farm. Needs to get me some shut eye."

Applejack stretches her limbs, and releases. She makes eye contact with Goku. "I'll be keepin' you t'ya word, got it?"

Goku nervously chuckles. Something about the way she said it sends a chill down Goku's spine. "U-Uh, yeah... got it."

Applejack nods, and leaves, along with Rarity. Rarity stares at Goku's clothes in digust one more time, and then leaves.

"It was super-duper nice meeting ya, Goku! Once everypony knows you're a neat guy and not an evil monster here to sell our planet or something, I'm going to throw you the superest duperest welcome to Ponyville and-technically-all-of-Equis surprise party!" Pinkie throws her forelegs in the air, and makes noise from a party blower that was not there before.

Wait, if Goku already knows about it, then it's not a surprise... oh well. He nods, and gives a thumbs up. Pinkie Pie has no idea what it means, but appreciates the good-willed gesture anyway. She bounces out of the treehouse to plan out her Pinkie strategy to befriending every pony in existence with sweets... or something.

Rainbow notices she's the last one out, and stutters a bit. "U-Uh, yeah. See ya." She waves a hood, and flies off. Not much for conversation unless it involves arguing, apparently.

That just leaves two mares, one saiyan. Goku crosses his arms. "This has been a really weird day."

Twilight and Fluttershy nod. "Well, I guess we'll be off then. Take care Fluttershy." She waves.

"Y-Yeah, I hope you manage to get home soon Goku." Fluttershy replies.

"Me too. I've still got a lot for training to do, and the Earth is like, always in danger of something." He waves.

"Oh, and by the way Fluttershy," Twilight adds, "...if you're feeling upset, just know... Your friends have your back, so please come to us if you ever need to talk. Okay?"

Fluttershy stares blankly, but smiles soon after. She nods.

"Hey, wait!" A voice cries out.

Twilight looks to her left. "Spike? When did you get here?"

"Uh, Twilight? I've been here for a good while now. Apparently, nopony heard me so I just kind of... sat here listening. In plain sight, too."

"Uh, well, you might as well come with us. We're heading back to the treehouse."

Spikes nods, and runs over to Twilight and Goku. They were gone as soon as Twilight lit up her horn.

Fluttershy sighs, and sits down. She sheds a tear. She'll need to overcome these fears that plague her, but how? For her friends, she'll attempt the impossible.

▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌

In the blink of an eye, they were at the treehouse. Goku felt a little light-headed, but not overbearingly so. Still, he had to place a hand on his forehead to ease it a bit.

Twilight nervously chuckled. "Yeah, that tends to happen with those unfamiliar with magic and it's properties. Give it enough time, you'll be used to it."

Goku shakes his head, and looks around his surroundings. Another tree, huh? Is that just a thing here when it comes to houses on this planet? This one was filled with a bunch of books, and a staircase with hearts on it. Otherwise, nothing really note-worthy.

"Well, this'll be where you can stay t'ill we fix this whole mess. Downstairs is my basement, there's a spare bed down there that I no longer use. It's not dusty or dirty or anything like that. I know you already slept, but I suggest getting some more shut eye. There'll be a lot of stuff to do tomorrow, so until then it'd be beneficial to be well rested."

"Heh, yeah." Goku puts his hands on his hips. "I really appreciate you lettin' me stay here t'ill I can head on back home, everyone here seems to be relatively friendly. I don't suppose being on this planet for a few days or so doesn't seem so bad. So uh, is that a town?" Goku points at all the buildings through the window, it's dark out now so most ponies are asleep. Most.

"It is, allow me to officially welcome you to Ponyville. Just uh, please refrain from actually heading outside. If just one pony looks at you, there'll be widespread panic. Ponies don't really take the sight of other creatures well." Twilight warns.

Goku nods. He's not really tired though, he's been asleep for, like, a really long time in that pod. He needs to stretch and train a bit before he gets rusty. Sure, healing up did make him a lil' bit stronger cause of his genetics, but that's no excuse to slack off on his training.

"Well, I'm off to write to the Princess. Spike, time for you to head to bed." Stated Twilight.

"What~? But I'm not tired..." Spike pouted, crossing his claws with a sour expression.

Twilight sighs, and picks Spike up with her magic against his will. He struggles, but his actions are for not. The evil temptress has him in her clutches, and she shan't release until he sleeps.

"Good night, Goku. The door to the basement is over there." She points towards a wooden door near a bookshelf.

"Got it, thanks." He gives the thumbs up, and heads downstairs to check it out.

It seems to be like a storage room, except not as cluttered as the average storage room is. A few items lay on a table, some vials and little jar thingys. Next to the table is a red sheeted bed, with a white blanket. Goku plops on the bed, and stretches. He ponders.

So, to recap, he's on a foreign planet with foreign enhabitants that are surprisingly friendly, they've got this odd variant of energy called magic that Goku swears he's heard somewhere before, and it's possible he may never return home if that pod isn't fixed. Also, he smells terrible and his clothes are ripped, but Goku doesn't care much for appearance.

Goku lays down. That form... super saiyan. Can he really control such a form? That power he felt from it, it was like nothing he's ever experienced before. But can he transform without getting angry? Not only that, but it felt like that form has a massive stamina drain on his body. How is he gonna be able to handle it? Maybe extended exposure to the form may lessen it's negative effects. There's no way to find out until he tries, but he can't. Not here.

Goku sits up, and walks back upstairs. He peers out through the window. Doesn't look like there's any ponies out, they're probably all asleep right now. He opens the door ever so gently, and quickly darts off into the sky. Hoping no pony sees him, and not noticing one mare staring out through her window. He looks around, and notices two options. A dark forest, and some sort of grasslands. Well, the grasslands will definitely be better for training. Less cluttered trees all over the place. He heads off.

▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌

Twilight passed out whilst writing her letter, but Spike was still awake. He sits up from his little bed, and looks out the window. Today's been a really weird day, and it's entirely cause of that monkey guy, Goku was his name if he remembers correctly.

A flash of light fills his vision, and ascends upward. Spike gasps, and runs downstairs. He opens the door, and sees a streak of blue light heading directly forwards. Spike runs, a sneaking suspicion as to what it may be.

▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌

After reaching his destination, Goku lands down on the field. After all that time cooped up in a pod unconscious for an unclear amount of time, it's finally time to get back into the swing of things. Time to train.

He breaths in and out. Slowly, he raises both arms towards his waist, as he steadily builds up a light blue energy that shakes around him. He yells, beginning to engulf his body in this blue light. A purple dot comes closer towards his direction, but he doesn't pay much mind to it. He stops, and the light dissipates. He grits his teeth, and cusps his hands.

"Ka..." He begins. He extends both hands backwards.

"Me..." His feet change position, digging into the soil of the ground.

"Ha..." A light emanates from the cusp of his hand, blue as an outline but white in the middle. It's condensed into a spherical shape.

"Me..." His voice begins to echo, as wind wraps around him like an elemental cocoon of sheer force. His eyes widen, and his arms immediately thrust forward.

"HAAAAAAAAA!" A blue beam of energy rockets forward at an incredibly fast rate, decimating the greenery below it. The wind follows it's direction, as it spirals at a set direction.

Goku's hands then bend, and so does the beam. Upward, then forward, the beam then begins its collision course straight towards Goku. Goku extends both hands, and catches the beam as soon as it makes contact. He grits his teeth, and grunts as the energy begins to push him back.

A trail of dirt follows his feet as he's pushed back, as he and the beam struggle against eachothers force. It continues it's assault, but Goku doesn't stop. An aura of yellow encompasses his body, and his hair flickers between yellow and black, standing up and lowering between each fluctuation in color.

Finally, both forces stop, and Goku yells. It echoes, and his body explodes with a warm yet bright yellow light. The beam flies off into the atmosphere, and Goku twitches. He falls to his knees, gasping for breath. Slowly, he ascends, until he stands tall, staring at nothing in particular. The yellow light fades, and Goku reverts. He collapses, but does not lose consciousness, landing on his hands.

A certain Drake stands in awe, as to the spectacle he's just witnessed.

"That... was totally awesome!"
