PonyballzKai: Adventures In Equestria

Another week goes by as Cyre and crew live their lives. Let us join Cyre now, as he trains two young fillies he saved from sunny town, Ruby and Mitta, in the ways of ki usage. More specifically, using it as a power boost.

“In order to gain a true feel for the power of Ki, you must know what it’s like to have the energy flow through you... to feel the rush of energy flow out of every pore of your body. This will remind you of the power you can gain, and will push you further into mastering and increasing that power and ability.”

“Hmm.... I think we get it... but just in case... tell us both all of that again, we don’t get it.” Ruby’s response only made him sigh.

“In simpler terms: feel the power, boost your desire to get more power. Get it?” Both of them stared at each other, before nodding and Cyre in agreement as they both concentrated. However, both of them had difficulty drawing it out, which frustrated them both. Cyre has been teaching and training them for a good part of the morning, so he decided they could stop for now, to which he told them to do to their disappointment. Cyre could see it in their eyes, but he simply chuckled.

“I never said this would be easy you two. I naturally was gifted by being a saiyan. You two however, are normal ponies for the most part. It will take much more time and practice. One day, you’ll get that trigger to flow through you. I’m sure of it. Now come on you two. Let’s see what twilight has going on.” With a plan in mind, the fillies grabbed onto him as Cyre transmissions from his locked ship into the crystal Castle, where he saw Twilight and her friends assembled at the crystal table. All of them saw him enter with the two fillies, to which they said nothing. He’s already explained the situation to them about Ruby and Mitta.

“As you've all probably noticed, it's been quite some time since the map has sent us on a mission of friendship.” Twilight said as she gestured to the Crystal Map Table.

“Yeah! Ever since Starlight messed with it to go back in time and try to change history!” Spike said nonchalantly, which only raised Cyre’s ire.

“Spike, is your sole purpose to remind starlight about her past, cause it sure feels like it!” Spike of course, couldn’t come up with a retort to that, so he just shut up and sat there.

SPIKE OWNED COUNT: 4

Twilight Sparkle did her best to ignore their banter and continued to explain. “Yes. Since then. But, as part of her studies, Starlight's been assisting me. And together, we think we've come up with a spell that can get it working again!” This made them all cheer in excitement as she moved Spike of the table in preparation.

“Now without further ado...” Twilight and Starlight combined both of their Magic’s as it shot onto the chairs, which reflected into the table. It seemed successful, but rather glitchy. Case in point, it started to put their cutie marks in multiple places. Cyre compared to troubleshooting mainly. Only this time it actually managed to be of some help.

“Fluttershy and Twilight in Appleloosa! No, me and Rainbow Dash in Las Pegasus! No, Rainbow Dash and Twilight in Yakyakistan! No, Twilight and Twilight in Twilight's castle! Oh. Me! Me! Oh, me... and Rarity! Ooh! I hope it's some faraway place that nopony has gone before!” Pinkie was as optimistic as always, whereas Rarity chuckled nervously at the prospect.

“Well, maybe not too far away. An adventure somewhere that has modern conveniences would be preferable. Canterlot! This is wonderful! I can check the boutique! Perhaps there'll be some social events that we can attend! I'll have to pack extra outfits! What will I wear?!” The whole group promptly stared at Rarity in response, before pinkie responded ironically.

“Y'know, some ponies get excited about the silliest things.” Cyre Chuckled at the response, before deciding to go along with the two, if nothing else to get out more.

The dark clouds are getting closer to me
In every moment...
I'm so excited by this feeling
Even if it's dangerous.

(Cyre is seen flying through the sky with Ruby, Mita, Broly and Rainbow dash. They are flare up their energy and take off, with Cyre soon following up after them with a huge smile on his face.)

OK! Bring it on right now!
I'm the strongest of the universe
All I do is show you my unlimited power
Go! Kamehameha!

(Shenron is being summoned in front of the main 6, their families, Ruby and Mita, alongside Cyre and his family, who had a huge smile on his face, before going super saiyan.)

Get ready! Fight it out!
Fight it out 'till the end of world (Beat the Spirit Bomb)

(Broly and Cyre are seen fighting furiously on screen before briefly disappearing from sight, and reappearing as they punched each other in the jaw.)

Look around and you'll know that
You're not fighting by yourself Get ready!

(King Sombra and queen chrysalis appear first. And behind them, ponehendge appears, and in a flash, the pony of shadows appears.)

Fight it out!
Fight it out for the dream of world (Fusion, you and me)

(Broly is seen charging up his ki. Luna and Celestia are then seen performing the fusion dance, before a flash of light appears and shows only a silhouette of their combined form.)

Let's gather the power of our friends!
Never gonna give up

(Cyre is charging up his ki before a burst of energy flashed, showing Cyre as an SSJ3.)

Fight it out and do our best
To save our planet Earth
And I say, Go! Kamehameha!

(Cyre is showing fighting Queen chrysalis as he shoots a Kamehameha at the changeling Queen.)

Fight it out! Wow!!
Fight it out! Yeah!!!!
Fight, fight it out!

(The mane 6, Broly, Mita, Ruby, Princess Celestia, Luna, and cadence, along with shining armor, stood tall and smiled as Cyre stood in the center as an SSJ3.)

Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Cyre, Ruby and Mita were now in Canterlot, entering the Main Street as Rarity sighed in happiness, before questioning Cyre.

“I know it seem frivolous to ask, but why come along Cyre? The map didn’t call you at all!”

“I told you on the train already: I wanted to explore and get out more. I’m gonna be on this planet for the most part from now on, so I’ll have to learn about it somehow. I’m also introducing Ruby and Mita to Canterlot, I don’t think they’ve ever been here before due to their... sad past, to say the least....” it was true though. Ruby and Mita were definitely taking it all in in strides, bright eyed with huge smiles on their faces as they talked amongst themselves.

With the questioned now answered again, Rarity began to refocus on why she and Pinkie were here specifically. “Now then, as far as finding a friendship problem, I suggest we start at the castle and begin to question the proper—“

Rarity was quickly interrupted by the party pony regarding her statement. “Oh, Rarity, you don't find a friendship problem. It finds you. We just need to go with the flow, and eventually, kablam! We get friendship problem'd right between the eyes.”

Rarity conceded to Pinkie’s words, which honestly doesn’t happen often because it’s Pinkie. “Well, this is a team effort, so if you feel we should go with the flow, then with the flow we shall go. But where's the flow saying we should go? “

“You know Canterlot. What do you think we should do?” Pinkie replied in kind.

“Hm. Take your pick. Culture, couture, cuisine!” Said Rarity, voicing their options. Almost simultaneously, The girls, Cyre’s, and Pinkie’s stomachs growled.

Rarity could only Stare at them all flabbergasted. “Oh, my. Well, it sounds like your stomach is saying we should flow towards some lunch? I know just where to go.”

Rarity led them all to Restaurant Row, the absolute best place for fine dining in all of Equestria! Cyre already had a bad feeling but he didn’t really have much room to argue.

Pinkie Pie of course, was still optimistic. “Ooh, so many choices! Where should we go? This one? That one? Those ones?”

“Any establishments that have this – the three-hoof rating.” Said Rarity as she pointed to a board with three hooves on it.

Pinkie Pie only got confused. “Um, whose hooves?”

“Why, Zesty Gourmand, the Queen of Cuisine. When it comes to food, she is the ultimate authority in Canterlot and thus all Equestria. She judges a restaurant on cuisine, decor, and presentation. Without her approval, a restaurant simply cannot survive.” Rarity stated firmly.

“What's so important about her approval?” Pinkie asked her. Cyre was also in agreement with pinkie, as he’s had experience with critics before.

“I have to agree with pinkie. What makes her opinion is significant that everypony has to take her advice? It’s not like she’s in charge of what people can make. Take suggestions from them, sure. But think it over at least, you might not be happy with the changes you have to make.... but for you Rarity, I will try the food.”

After three restaurants that were incredibly similar, Cyre had just about lost his appetite. And even worse, Ruby and Mita didn’t like it either, and they were eating stale hay (or nothing at all) for hundreds of years at this point.

“Maybe instead of trusting somepony else's hooves, I should pick the next place?” Pinkie asked rarity pleadingly. Luckily for them, she didn’t argue as Cyre and Pinkie used their superior senses of smell to sniff out a restaurant. This lead them to a very Indian looking restaurant, which got the two excited, while it made Ruby and Mita intrigued, and rarity apprehensive. She felt the need to mention that it wasn’t rated, to which they ignored her as the walked inside.

“Are we sure they're open?” Rarity asked to Nopony as she sat down with Pinkie. Cyre and the fillies sat at a separate table due to their not being enough space at the first one.

Pinkie Pie took a sniff and sighed happily as she responded. “Mmmm. It smells open.”

After hearing some clattering coming from the kitchen, a mare walked out it, only to be surprised, then happy at the prospect of seeing ponies, as well as a known equestrian hero here. “Oh! Are you here for lunch?”

'Oh yes, but I might stay for you, you fine looking mare.... oh, nevermind. I can’t just do that to Luna. Besides, she controls dreams, so I don’t want her on my bad side.... ugh....' Cyre quietly though to himself as he focused back onto Pinkie.

“Yes, indeedy!” Was Pinkie’s response time Masala’s question.

“I'm Saffron Masala, the chef here at The Tasty Treat, the most exotic cuisine in Canterlot. Would you like to hear about the specials?” Masala questioned pinkie about that. Rarity was about to interject, but she was silenced before she could finish what she had to say. Saffron then listed the specials, which consisted of a curried oat cake, and a grass sandwich that was marinated overnight in a mustard Dijon dressing. Pinkie ordered both. Rarity didn’t get anything. Cyre and the girls ended up trying the specials due to a mutual agreement with the girls.

Another pony had come into the dining room, grumbling to himself in a different language as he stacked some chairs solemnly. Cyre was the only one who could tell it was a different language due to his hearing.

Pinkie Pie of course, couldn’t help but ask about this new pony’s name. “Hiya! What's your name?”

“Coriander Cumin.”

“Are you a chef here too?”

“My daughter cooks. I host.”

“Then why are you stacking chairs?”

“Without customers, I have nopony to host for. So I stack!”

Saffron Masala was not pleased to see her father stacking the chairs as she brought the food to them. “Father, stop it! Don't close up the restaurant around our guests.”

Coriander Cumin remained unchanged on his decision of stacking up chairs. “What does it matter?! When they leave, nopony else will be coming in!”

“Well, your attitude isn't going to bring anyone in! Can't you at least pretend to be positive?!” Saffron merely got irritated as she walked over to her father as Pinkie, Cyre, Ruby and Mita began to eat, to which they were rather pleased, which surprised Cyre. He knows how picky children can be....

Coriander Cumin continued to argue with his daughter. “You are doing enough pretending for the both of us. Nopony here wants to try anything new! I know when to throw in the towel!”

Rarity started to feel unnerved. “Um, Pinkie, perhaps we should excuse ourselves.”

Her protests were ignored again as pinkie reveled in the food. Didn’t have much Ettiquete with it, but at least she liked it. “Oh, Rarity, try this!”

Rarity tried the food, to which she was pleasantly surprised as the argument between Coriander and Saffron continued. Cyre watched it all in intrigue.

Pinkie Pie spit her food out in realization. “Rarity, I think that friendship problem just kablammed us right between the eyes!”

“These two? Oh, I don't know, darling. The food is excellent, but I'm not sure there's much you and I can do to help them.” Rarity said as they watched. Cyre eventually would’ve stepped in had Rarity not provided an idea after this next statement....

Coriander Cumin scoffed at Saffron in annoyance. “What would you have me do? We can't even get Zesty Gourmand to come to our restaurant. She took one look at how empty it was and said it wasn't even worth rating!”

“That's it!” Rarity shouted as she raised her hooves in the air in realization, with Pinkie following soon after.

“Yes! Uh, what's it?”

“The flow has led us here! This is our mission! [to Saffron and Coriander] We are going to get you a three-hoof rating and save your restaurant! I can get Zesty Gourmand here!”

Pinkie Pie also gasped in the same realization. “And Me and Cyre can pack this place with ponies”

Coriander Cumin however, was still skeptical. “Hmph. And how do you intend to do such a thing?”

“Just leave it to us!” Both pinkie and rarity said!

A hour passed by before Rarity made her way back.

Saffron Masala of course, we up to here with her father’s attitude. “Father, will you please stop packing things?!”

“When the lovely pony comes back and says she couldn't convince Zesty Gourmand to come visit us, we will need to pack all this up. I am just getting a head start.”

“Huh. Lovely. Honestly I can say she’s way more than that....still, I’m inclined to agree. There’s no promise Rarity can get this critic to come here.” Cyre interjected.

Pinkie Pie simply smiled. “You really don't know Rarity.”

“I've done it!” Rarity announces in sing-song as she walked inside.

Pinkie Pie merely nodded at them in a ‘told you so’ fashion. Rarity did manage to get Zesty to come, but could only make the time to come this evening.

Coriander Cumin was a pessimistic as ever regarding that info. “Pfft. Oh, yeah, right.”

“What is it?” Masala asked Rarity regarding the whole situation.

“Zesty rates a restaurant on cuisine, decor, and presentation, and she has very specific tastes. If she's coming tonight, there is quite a bit of work that needs to get done.”

“Like what?” Pinkie asked.

“Oh, a tweak here, a tuck there, some slight modifications to the menu. [laughs nervously] We just need the place to feel more cosmopolitan.” Rarity said nonchalantly.

“Those don’t sound like minor changes Rarity. Please don’t do anything drastic...” Cyre was skeptical still. Not because he didn’t want them to succeed, but because he didn’t wanna see this place become like everyone else in this city. He likes the tasty treat the way it is. Coriander still just outright refused to be positive.

“Father, after Rarity went to all of this trouble for us, can't we at least try?”

“Why don't I stay behind with Coriander to get the restaurant ready for Zesty's arrival? You, Cyre and Saffron can try and drum up some business.” Rarity said to them.

Pinkie Pie headed toward the door. “One packed restaurant, coming right up!”

“Rarity. Ruby and Mita are gonna stay here to help you out. Don’t work them too hard... I mean it.” He then walked out the door as well. Now that they were alone, Rarity Spike you Coriander.

“Coriander, I understand your trepidation. But I promise you, we will get those hooves by making this place feel just like all of the other restaurants on Restaurant Row!”

Saffron Masala sighed as she walked outside. “I hope my father doesn't drive Rarity crazy.”

“It'll be fine. Rarity's gonna make sure that The Tasty Treat is the most unique and beautiful restaurant in Canterlot! Not like all of those stuffy places on Restaurant Row.” Pinkie said.

“Yeah. You say that now......” Cyre rolled his eyes as they left to do some advertising.
