PonyballzKai: Adventures In Equestria
Chapter 33: To Where and Back Again Pt.1
Previous ChapterNext ChapterAnother beautiful day has dawned on Equestria. Spike, Twilight, and Starlight were busy carrying a bunch of twilight's old books down a set of stairs. Spike had a bit of trouble though, and ending up tumbling down the stairs. had it not been for Twilight catching him in her magic, he might've gotten hurt.
"Well, we don't all have magical horns."
"I've been meaning to move these older books to my reference section for a while. Got to keep the new books front and center! Thank you both for your help. I would've asked Cyre or Broly to do this, but Cyre said he was preoccupied, and Broly just lives in the mountains. He likes it out there for whatever reason..." Twilight said in her typical book-obsessed ways. Starlight of course was flattered, saying it was the least she could do thanks to Twilight teaching her the value of friendship, to which twilight claimed she hadn't "done that much."
"I may have offered some guidance, but you are responsible for the pony you've become. I'm proud to call you my student and my friend. Now we just need to get rid of these boxes. Spike, can you—? Spike?"
Spike was a bit preoccupied staring out the window at an incoming target, which they quickly made an effort to dodge. It turned out is was Derpy the town's mailmare. She had a letter for Starlight, which she quickly started to read,
"For me? Who'd be sending me a letter? It's... the ponies from my old village."
Twilight and Spike were immediately concerned about it.
"Are they in danger?" Twilight asked.
"Are they upset with you?" Spike added.
"No... It's worse! They've invited me to the annual Sunset Festival!" This response made Spike and Twilight do a double-take.
SACRED WORLD OF THE KAIS
As for what had Cyre occupied, it was actually something to do with Shin and Elder kai. They asked him to come to the sacred world of the kais for an offer. Apparently they wanted to teach him a new skill in exchange for some form of keeping peace in the universe.
"So if I have this right, you're going to teach me a skill that'll allow me to teleport anywhere in the universe, without the need to sense energy so I can do your job, and you do... what? Sit on your asses, and read hentai? Seriously, that's practically all I see you guys do.... though that hentai part mainly applies to the old guy over here."
Elder Kai of course, didn't really like how Cyre worded that statement at all. "Listen here you little whippersnapper! We've been protecting the Universe Millions of years before you were even conceived! Besides Hentai is a respected art, I wouldn't expect someone as young as yourself to understand! Really, the nerve of the Youth these days, can you believe it?"
Shin was a a little irked, but he did see where Cyre was coming from, at least somewhat. "Look, we understand that you might be skeptical, but your help would truly be appreciated. Besides, you'll get more experience fighting and exploring the universe. It's the main reason you left Earth, and its how you found Equestria, isn't it?"
"Fine... you do have a point. But I need to know how often you're gonna have me doing this sort of thing. While I don't mind helping you, I have my own life to live, and others I need to look after."
"You'll only be called to planets that are beyond our power range, or when we feel the mission would be better left to you personally. Luckily, this doesn't happen very often, so you won't have to take massive amounts of time out of your own life" Shin stated to Cyre enthusiastically.
"In addition to that, we'll teach you instantaneous movement. It'll allow you to move anywhere in the universe, and you don't have to sense any energy in order for it to work. I'll also unlock your potential if you wish, I'd say that'd be enough incentive for you to take our offer, huh?" Elder Kai laughed and smiled as he looked to Cyre for his response. It took him a couple moments of hesitation, before he ultimately made a decision.
".... I accept your offer Supreme Kai. Teach me instantaneous movement. As for unlocking my potential... maybe another time. When exactly do I start my job as an honorary Supreme Kai?" Cyre quickly questioned. he figured there would be a mission for him to do right now, and he wasn't wrong about that, as he'd soon discover.
"We already have one ready for you. There's a fierce egotistical dictator by the name of King Katastros on the planet Lexicon. He's been hogging all of the planets's resources and harming any subjects who oppose him. this mission won't be very difficult for you. Or it shouldn't be, provided you take this job seriously. Come now, I'll teach you the technique required to get to your destination. Or rather, the young kai will teach it to you." After Elder Kai finished talking, Cyre walked over to Shin, ready to learn.
"Alright then. The instantaneous movement technique is quite similar to--"
"Wait! Actually..... just perform the technique in front of me. If I have Buu's cells, than I should be able to imitate the technique and apply it to my skillset instantly!" Cyre exclaimed proudly. Shin of course, was surprised, but nonetheless performed the technique for the Saiyan to try. As expected, he managed to imitate it, using the technique and applying it to his instant transmission, allowing him to perfectly use the new skill. With that in mind, he bid farewell to the kais, and immediately made his way to Lexicon.

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.)
PLANET LEXICON
Cyre had arrived on Lexicon in just mere moments after he made the initial jump. he discovered the planet to be much like Earth, though with a few key differences. The gravity was definitely higher here, at least 15 times higher than Earth's or Equestria's Gravity. The planet had two sets of rings, and at least 13 moons, each with their own set of colonies. The fauna and flora even looked similar to Earth's as well. but of course there was a few species of things he'd never seen. As much as he'd like to explore, he was there for a reason, and it wasn't to go on a nature hike. he soon flew up into the air and activated his scouter in order to find the nearest mass of power levels, before quickly heading northeast in the direction it pointed.
After about an hour of flying, he arrived at what appeared to be the Capital City's outskirts. It looked so beautiful when it was on the surface. But he knew better. Upon entering the actual City He saw the state of the city was in disarray, especially in the poverty areas. He saw many people within the city limits. Some looked like normal humans, Others looked like king furry on Earth. a few even looked like anthropomorphized dinosaurs. No matter the species, he saw the pain equally in all of them. some had barely any clothes, others were incredibly sick, with warts an bruises all over their bodies. He walked by a nearby hospital and saw it was filled to capacity. there were a few guards posted everywhere, keeping order in the streets. this made Cyre ball up his fists. how could a ruler allow people to live like this? Mission in mind, Cyre quickly rose out of the crowd and made his way to Katatstros's castle. He quickly landed at the front door of the castle. Two heavy guards were stationed at the front.
"HALT!!!! Just where do you think you're going trespasser? Unless Lord Katastros has requested an audience with you, You are not allowed to enter the castle!" One of the guards raised his laser minigun up at he Saiyan, with the other guard quickly doing the same.
"I am Cyre. I'm a saiyan from planet Earth, sent here by the Supreme Kai's to speak to your pompous ruler about the sick way he rules over his subjects. Take me to him NOW. This is the only chance I'm giving you to do it willingly."
Both of the guards looked at each other and laughed, before warming up their weapons and preparing to fire. "Nobody makes demands except for the ruler of this planet! You'll regret ever trying to defy us once you've gone to the otherworld!" After that statement they fired their minigun at the Saiyan for about 30 seconds or so. due to the ammos being lasers, it did managed to singe his gi, but it did no actual damage further than that. The guards were astounded before one took out in energy blade and swung it at the Saiyan's face, only for it to shatter completely once it made contact with Cyre's skin. Cyre only glared at the guards, which made them quiver in fear. Both quickly made up their minds to bring the Saiyan to Lord Katastros.
EQUESTRIA: THE NEXT MORNING
"...and Princess Luna said I should tell you all how I was feeling. So... there it is. I'm afraid to go back to the village for the celebration."
Starlight had just explained the dream she'd had the previous night, which involved The residents of her old village patronizing her, laughing at her non-stop. Princess Luna interfered, giving Starlight the suggestion to talk to Twilight and her friends regarding her issue.
“But why, darling? You went back to apologize. They accepted. Everypony has moved on.” Rarity said to Starlight.
“But have they? They don't really know how much I've changed. Or even worse, maybe I haven't changed as much as I think I have!”
“Trust me. You are a totally different pony now. I mean, you were pretty awful.” Rainbow said with literally no tact.
Applejack Didn’t like her choice of words, and she let her know it.
“What? She was! It's a compliment!”
“I don't think they would've sent the invitation if they didn't want you to come. I'm sure they'd be happy to see you.” Fluttershy interjected.
“And getting an invitation to a party and not going?!That's like...I-It's like...! Well, I don't know what it's like, but it is definitely bad.” Pinkie eagerly added.
Applejack also gave her opinion as well. “Just be honest with them. I'm sure they'll understand where you're comin' from.”
After everyone else finished talking, Twilight Sparkle gave her thoughts. “I understand how hard this is for you. Maybe if you took a friend along, it might make things easier. Somepony you trust who would look out for you?”
Starlight started packing up her things in Trixie’s caravan for her journey to the village. Twilight was rather disappointed, as she thought that Starlight would’ve chosen her. And Trixie made sure to rub it in before they left. Soon enough they arrived at Starlight’s village.
“There it is! The town where you—“ “Magically stole everypony's cutie marks, replaced them with equal signs, and forced them all to hide their natural talents? Yes.”
Trixie was interrupted by Starlight’s dread of the situation, which only made her rocker her eyes. “I was going to say where you came from, but yours is a more... emotionally traumatic answer.”
Starlight Glimmer then sighs. “I just want to... blend in. Be just another pony in the crowd enjoying the Sunset Festival with my friend.”
"Sounds good to me! And if things get weird for you, just let me know. I've got your flank"
"Is that a promise?"
"Not just a promise. A great and powerful promise!" Trixie then pulled up a smoke bomb and set it off, which wasn't the smartest decision as it caused the both of them to cough.
"Well, I couldn't ask for more than that. If we're gonna do this, let's do it." After Starlight's statement, the two began to walk into the festival, and were greeted by Double Diamond, and Party Favor. The both of them were surprised that she came to the festival, but were nonetheless happy to see her. Soon enough though, she was being bombarded with questions regarding the planning of the festival, and eventually, it all became too much for the pink reformed unicorn.
With a loud and thundering "NO!", Starlight Glimmer sent out a magic blast that pushed the villagers away from her. Trixie knew that it was time to get out of there while they could. "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!"
With that, Trixie deployed another smoke bomb, allowing the both of them to get away. They ultimately returned to Ponyville, where they found the mane 6 to be acting very strangely. Pinkie didn't know where they went, Applejack and Rarity laughed at them for leaving, Fluttershy was uncharacteristically secretive, Rainbow was a bit more rude. Even Twilight and Spike didn't seem to be like themselves.
PLANET LEXICON
Cyre was now arriving to the throne room of the palace. The guards that brought him there didn't even try to stop him from going in. Once he entered, four elite guards blocked his path. In a matter of seconds, he pummeled all four of them into the ground. he didn't kill them, but he made sure it still hurt. a lot. Cyre was now able to get a proper look at the Lord of the planet. Katatros was a green pig of all things, though Cyre couldn't say he expected that, he would find it ironic.
"First you come into my throne unannounced, and then you have the audacity to take out some of my best guards? Give me one good reason why I shouldn't have you destroyed- AAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!" He didn't get to finish the sentence, as Cyre shot a death beam through the tyrant's arm.
"I came here for one singular purpose, and that's to stop your reign of terror over this planet. You're a disgusting pig, both figuratively and literally. You're nothing more than a coward. You sit here enjoying all the luxuries of this planet, and you can't be bothered to make sure your own people are healthy and well! How could you possibly justify this?" Cyre was only starting to get annoyed and was really tempted to kill the dictator in cold blood, but it wouldn't solve anything. So he gave Katastros to explain himself.
"Those people have ridiculed my rule from the beginning, Claiming I could never be anything more than a bastard, saying they would stand against me any way and chance they could. So I chose to give them what they wanted. These people will learn to fear me, and respect me. I could easily get the supplies to help them. In fact, I have them in my palace as we speak. But these people don't deserve them. They never did!"
"I'VE HEARD ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Cyre shot a second beam into the tyrant's other arm. Now Katastros was starting to get what he was dealing with. none of his guards could stop him. none of his weapons or resources could. Cyre began to walk towards him with a menacing glare, which made the tyrant cower, before dropping to the ground in a desperate plea of mercy. Cyre could only roll his eyes and pick Katastros up and hold him up to his face.
"Now listen here.... I was sent here to make sure you don't oppress anyone, so we have two options.... One, you give those supplies to the people NOW.... or I kill you right here. You have five seconds to make a- " "THE PEOPLE!!!! I'LL GIVE THE SUPPLIES TO THE PEOPLE!!! I'LL GIVE THEM WHATEVER THEY WANT, JUST DON'T KILL ME PLEASE!!!!!"
Cyre smirked before dropping him onto the ground and healing his arms. albeit reluctantly he did so. Moments later, Katastros called for his general to get the troops ready to deliver the supplies to the people of the whole planet. Cyre nodded and put two fingers on his head, but not before telling Katastros one last thing.
"I will be comin back here one day, and if I find you've broken your word..... I. WILL. KILL. YOU."
Cyre then quickly returned to the world of the Kais.
SACRED WORLD OF THE KAIS
Cyre returned to find the Kais talking amongst themselves, before Cyre lightly coughed and they looked at him.
“Wow.... we didn’t expect you to deal with it that quickly. We surely thought it would take another day at least....” Shin said quite surprised.
“He may be young and reckless, but he knows how to get the job done. This young lad certainly has potential, more so than I’d first believed.” Elder Kai stated.
“Thanks.... but if I don’t have anything left to do, I’d like to get back to Equestria now. I’d rather not be away from them too long....” Cyre said to them all.
All of them said he was free to leave. So he didn’t hesitate to go back quickly.
EQUESTRIA
Cyre arrived in front of Twilight’s castle. But it definitely didn’t feel right. Celestia, Luna, and the mane 6’s energy level was significantly weaker. And he felt multiple dark energies within the castle.... But he also felt two familiar ones. Starlight.... and Trixie! Whatever was happening, Cyre wanted answers, and he knew if only one way to get them.
Cyre quickly entered the castle. Following the energy, he quickly saw Trixie and Starlight standing outside of the map room doors. Deciding to listen in to what the occupants in the map room, he focused on the room and honed in his senses of sight and hearing. Inside the map room, he saw duplicates of the mane 6 and Spike, though they acted nothing like the original versions. They then pulled out some bug-shaped devices and placed them on a table. It turns out it was some sort of communication equipment. Within moments, Cyre felt a shiver go down his spine as he realized it was the same creature in the viewing screen that was in his vision.
Queen Chrysalis. She was the one in charge of the whole operation going on. She looked at the group at the table in front of her and scoffed. “Ugh. I can't take any of you seriously when you look like that.”
“Oh, right.” Seconds later, all of the fakers dropped their disguises and revealed themselves to their Queen, much to her approval.
“Much better. Now report!”
“Everything here is going according to plan! We've replaced the six ponies and their dragon, and have taken control of the castle!”
“Excellent. And I've just received word that the princesses from Canterlot have successfully been replaced as well.” The changeling sat at the table laughed as Chrysalis held a triumphant smirk on her face. It made Cyre’s blood boil.
“We thought too small last time. One ponynapped princess wasn't enough. With all the most beloved ponies of Equestria taken care of, nopony can stop us!” After a couple seconds of evil laughter, the communication ended. That’s when Trixie made the mistake of slightly opening the door. This caused the door to creak, making the changelings hiss and immediately exit the map room in search of the two unicorns. The Twilight one was seconds away from finding them, until.....
“Hey Changeling! Looking for somebody?”
Cyre purposely shouted as loud as he could to get the other changelings to try to gang up on him. This also allowed to two unicorns to drop their guise and quickly get behind the young Saiyan. Soon enough, all seven changelings were there, and were charging up their horn for a full power blast attack. Cyre simply stood there and watched it all happen as the two unicorns stood there in dismay.
“Cyre? Why aren’t you doing anything? You can see it coming, right? Do something. Please? ANYTHING?!?! CYRE!!!!!!!!” Trixie could only close her eyes as all the beams fired directly at Cyre. Moments before the beams hit, Cyre then shouted extremely loudly, causing the beams to stop dead in their tracks, and then explode in front of them.
When the dust cleared, the three of them were all standing there, completely unharmed. Once Starlight and Trixie opened their eyes, they saw that, and breathed a huge sigh of relief before stepping back. Cyre then looked back to them.
“Starlight. Trixie. Leave now. I’m gonna take these guys down, you’ll only get in the way if you stay.”
Neither of them hesitated, and Starlight quickly teleported herself and Trixie away from the battle. Now that there was nothing holding him back, he smirked and got into the same battle stance that Vegeta had when he fought Goku for the very first time.
The Changelings quickly responded to this, hissing before Cyre quickly dodged them all and started to fly, heading into the map room and flying out of one of the windows. He made sure to fly slow enough that the changelings kept up. Now all of them were floating in the sky, illuminated by the moon above them.
Cyre was completely confident he’d have no problem with these chumps, their power was incredibly low, even when he had his energy suppressed. Right as he was about to attack, his scouter went off. And Cyre himself felt a dark energy very close by. He then saw the changelings holding their heads as they became enveloped in a dark aura. They all shouted in pain as their power skyrocketed upwards. All of the changelings had eyes that were red instead of green, and they were far more sinister and powerful now.
“No way.... their power was barely 100 a minute ago..... now it’s 50,000! Each changeling has a power of 50,000!!!! Where did all this power come from?!??!!” Cyre was completely shell shocked, but he still wasn’t afraid. After all, he was way more powerful than all of them combined still!
All seven changelings quickly moved in to attack, with Cyre going on the defensive for the first part of the fight. All of the changelings made punches and kicks to try and hit the Saiyan, but he would either block or dodge each one.
“YOU CAN’T DODGE US FOREVER!!!!”
“Is that right?” With a smirk, Cyre quickly phased out of the cluster of changelings, causing all of them to hit each other, which made them argue amongst themselves.
“You idiot, what do you think you’re doing?”
“What do you mean me? You hit me!”
“Oh, so it’s my fault?!”
“You’re supposed to be our squad leader, so yes it’s your fault!”
Once they finally realized that Cyre was supposed to be the one they were fighting, Cyre had already Charged up a Super Kamehameha wave and he didn’t hesitate to fire.
“Maybe if you didn’t spend so much time bickering you might’ve actually hit me at least once. Oh well! HAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!”
The beam hit the changelings dead-on, causing them to scream out in pain once more. Cyre made sure to stop the beam once he felt that dark energy leave their bodies. All seven changelings had cratches and burns after the attack seized, and the all fell to ground, completely knocked out.
Cyre quickly spotted Starlight and Trixie, along with another changeling. Cyre was about to blast it away, but that’s when he realized he’d felt the energy coming from that changeling before.
“.....Thorax.”
With that, Cyre quickly picked up the knocked-out changelings and brought them back to the group, where they were watching the whole battle unfold.
“Hey everyone. Looks like these guys were did in by yours truly. I didn’t kill them though. But They won’t be going anywhere any time soon..... By the way, I haven’t seen you in ages Thorax. I’d be happy to see you if our situation weren’t so dire. So what exactly is everyone talking about?”
“The changelings! They took Cadance, Shining Armor, and Flurry Heart! Sunburst sent me here to get Princess Twilight's help, but... but it sounds like it's too late for that, too! So... what should we do?” Thorax explained, catching Cyre up on things he already knew.
“Well, I say we should head to where exactly Chrysalis’ kingdom is. If that’s where they are, then that’s where we need to go! I’ll be able to go, but Broly will have to stay and clear out all the changelings in all the other areas of Equestria. I wouldn’t mind having anyone else with a good amount of power on-hoof though.”
“You know whenever ponies and other creatures talk about powerful magic, they always leave me out. If I weren't so evolved, I might decide to take it personally. Well, isn't this quite the combination of main and secondary characters?” On top of Trixie’s carriage, sat a creature. He had a deer antler on the right side on top of his head, a blue goat horn on top of the left part of his head, one long fang, different-sized pupils, a snake tongue, a goat beard, and white bushy eyebrows. He had the right arm of a lion, the left claw of an eagle, the right leg of a lizard, and the left leg of a goat. In addition, he had a bat's right wing, a Pegasus left wing, a horse's mane, and a Dragon-like snake's tail with a white tail tuft. The shape of his body resembling that of a snake.
“Wait a minute.... You're Discord! The lord of chaos! I've heard of you. Twilight said she'd reformed you, but I was highly skeptical. Looks like I might be wrong, if you're willing to help us out anyway." Cyre was bout to properly extend a hand in a greeting, but was stopped by starlight.
"First, how do we know that you're really you?" Seconds later, the carriage was a pumpkin, the ground was soap and water, the castle was upside down, and a chunk of earth was floating above an orange liquid.
“Shall I continue?”
“Chrysalis and the changelings are back. They've ponynapped all of the most powerful ponies in Equestria! Celestia, Luna, Cadance, Shining Armor, Flurry Heart, Twilight and her friends. We need to—“
“They took Fluttershy?”
“Yes!”
“WHERE?”
“The Changeling Kingdom. With you on our side, I can—“ with quick snap of his fingers, all five of them appeared in a small cliff, which left Discord initially confused.
“Odd. I was trying to take us right to Fluttershy, but there is no Fluttershy.”
Trixie looked to the right of them and pointed as she whimpered. “I think I have a pretty good idea where she might be...”
The changeling kingdom stood tall, bleak and imposing, with everything that stood around it was dead or dying. Changelings were flying around it in constant guard of it. Just the sight of it all made Cyre become a bit more intrigued, and Thorax worried.
“I'd hoped never to see that place again. Now what?”
