PonyballzKai: Adventures In Equestria

Several deep breathes entered and exited Cyre's mouth as he meditated. The peaceful quiet of the spaceship made it much easier for him to concentrate. He had already done a lot of physical exercises which is what he usually did before meditation. So now he was clearing his mind.

A week had passed since Cyre had been acquainted with the mane 6 and starlight, and as before, he came here, he was becoming increasingly bored. Everything seemed to have calmed down after the T.O.P, There hadn't been any new issues popping up. There was his training and that was about it. Sure, he was hoping that a powerful enemy would come and challenge him, but he was finding some enjoyment in the peaceful times.

Unfortunately, especially for someone like him, peace never seemed to last permanently. That fact was made all the more clear when he sensed all eight of his new friends outside the ship. He stood up from his sitting position and walked over to the door. Upon opening the door the first thing he noticed was Twilight smiling at him.

"Hi, Cyre how's it going?" The purple mare asked with a nervous smile.

"Honestly, I'm not sure. It's in my Saiyan DNA to have a good fight once in a while, but everything had been so peaceful. And not just here, the whole universe! I really wish something exciting would show up soon. So what is it your here for?"

"Well, we were all wondering if you would like to come with us to see my brother's newborn foal. It's all the way in the crystal empire. Want to come with us?"

Cyre was aware the crystal empire existed, he had done some reading in the week he got to Equestria and Twilight had told him of the battles they had with Equestria's enemies, and he had to say, they were total weaklings, but they certainly had interesting abilities.

"Yeah, I don't see why not. Besides, it would give me a chance to explore more of Equestria." Cyre said with a smile. 'Get ready crystal empire, I'm coming!'

Cyre was sitting in the friendship express, riding to the crystal empire with his new friends. While Cyre was riding there, he listened in on his friends conversations.

"Um, Applejack, what is that?" rainbow asked, pointing at a strange object sitting next to her, which was covered by a blanket. "Oh, just a little somethin' for the young'un."
she removed the blanket to reveal a baby bed. "Made from genuine Sweet Apple Acres apple trees. We make 'em for all the Apples, and anypony related to Twilight is practically family."

"Yeah, it's okay... But it's no Cloudsdale mobile! Bam!" rainbow revealed her present to be a mobile, which pinkie and rarity ooh'd at.

"Well, a mobile is real nice... as long as you have somethin' to lay in so you can look at it." applejack replied.

"Anda fetching blanket to keep you warm." rarity levitated a blanket into the bed.

Cyre meanwhile, was deep in thought. He always wondered what parenthood was like, and wanted to try it someday. But due to training, he never had a chance to on earth. Cyre was of course, conflicted at the thought of being with a pony, even a talking sentient one, but he knew he had all the time in the world to make a choice, thanks to majin buu's immortal cells. Cyre pushed it out of his head for now and focused on the others again .

Twilight smiled at her friends. "I'm sure Shining Armor and Princess Cadance will love all our gifts. But I think they're more happy we'll be attending the baby's Crystalling."
Pinkie Pie began to bounce in excitement."Ooh! I can't wait to see all that light and love make the Crystal Heart even more sparkly and shiny!"

"Actually, Pinkie, the Crystal Heart is an ancient and powerful relic. Without its magic, the Crystal Empire would be lost to the Frozen North."

"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." Cyre had heard of starlight glimmers past in the week, and he had to be honest, he was a little worried about what Twilight was planning on having Starlight do... Meet up with her first friend, Sunburst.

Of course, Twilight was oblivious to it. "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!"

Starlight Glimmer only got more nervous then before. "Right... Me neither... Actually, Twilight, I am a little worried about meeting Sunburst."

"Oh, trust me. I know what it's like to see old friends. But I'll be right there to help things along. I've broken the whole lesson down into a few easy steps to ensure this reunion goes off without a hitch!" She rolled out a gigantic scroll with specific steps to meet sunburst.

Starlight Glimmer laughed nervously as the train pulled into the station.

Twilight Sparkle started to read the list as she steps off the train. "Step one, head to Sunburst's house and get you two started on the right hoof. Step two, get to the castle with enough time to visit the ba—" with a thump, she was cut short as she bumped into her brother, who looked like he hadn't slept in weeks. "Shining Armor!"

Shining armor replied in kind, although it was in a tired voice, along with a hug. "Twilight...!"

"I didn't know you were meeting us!"Twilight said ecstatically.

Shining Armor seemed completely out of it, which worried Cyre slightly. "Of course I am! It's me, right here. Here I am. Why wouldn't I come meet my sister? Though we have met before, heh-heh..."

Twilight Sparkle soon followed right after Cyre. "Are you all right?"

"Never better! Being a father is amazing! And wonderful, and amazing, and confusing, and amazing, but surprising too, you know? I mean, not that you'd know. You wouldn't know, I know... You know?" Shining Armor's eye twitched as he sighed. "Sorry. I haven't really slept since Cadance had the baby. Come to think of it, she hasn't either. It sure would be great to get a break."

Twilight Sparkle was taken aback by that. Why didn't she consider this? "Oh, of course! I don't know what I was thinking! You two probably need all kinds of help! I'm sorry, Starlight, but I guess combining your first lesson with this visit wasn't such a good idea."

Starlight Glimmer went from nervous to ecstatic in a matter of seconds. "Oh, uh, don't be ridiculous! You're an aunt now! That's way more important than some friendship lesson."

Cyre stepped forward towards them. "Maybe I can help." cyre pulled out a senzu bean, which was for emergencies, and handed it over to Shining Armor. He didn't know what it was, but he was too exhausted to do anything. It also didn't help that he was being essentially fed by an unknown creature, but he had little to lose. With that, he ate the bean and swallowed. The moment he did, he felt all his strength and energy return to him. "What? What just happened? And better yet, who are you?" he pointed a hoof at the Saiyan.

Cyre chuckled. "My name is Cyre, and I'm a friend of your sister. What you just ate was a senzu bean. It heals the user, giving them all their energy back and healing any injuries."

Shining looked him over and turned to his sister, who nodded in approval. "well, any friend of my sister is a friend of mine. The Name is Shining Armor. A pleasure to meet you."

Cyre took his hoof and shook it. "the Pleasure is all mine."

Twilight Sparkle was saddened that she couldn't split both activities, still. "I just wish there was a way to do both."

Spike suggested a plan. "Maybe there is! You've already done the work for Starlight's lesson with this list. All we have to do is follow it!"

Twilight Sparkle , much like Starlight a few minutes ago, went from sad to ecstatic in seconds. "Spike, you're a genius!"

Starlight Glimmer was now the complete opposite. "Yeah... genius."

"Then it's settled! Shining Armor and I will head straight to the castle, and you two can head straight to Sunburst's!" Twilight was more excited than ever. Not only would she see the baby, but her student would start her first friendship lesson!

Spike saluted as he answered. "Aye-aye, Princess!"

Starlight Glimmer nervously responded as she left. "Uh-huh."

Twilight Sparkle then turned back to Shining. "Alright, big brother, let's go see this amazing baby pony!"

Cyre walked with twilight and her friends, feeling slightly sorry for starlight.

Spike noticed starlight's worry quickly. "I know you're a little worried about this reunion, but I'm sure Twilight's got everything covered."

Starlight Glimmer was currently trying to stall for time. Anything to slow down their meeting.

"Everything except how I'd rather do absolutely anything else."

"Oh, I bet she's taken that into account too. It's all part of the lesson.Trust the lesson."

Starlight Glimmer wasn't so convinced of that as she bumped into a statue of spike. "Right... Hey, i-is that... you?"

Spike looked up and noticed. "Oh, yep, it sure is! Now, according to the list, Sunburst's house is—"

Starlight Glimmer saw the perfect opportunity."Why there a statue of you in the Crystal Empire?"

"Scarlet Heart" spoke up first. "Because Spike the Brave and Glorious saved all of us from King Sombra!"

"Amber Laurel" was next. "And then again during the Equestria Games!"
Starlight Glimmer didn't believe it at all. "Really?"

"Golden Väs" was last to talk. "Really! Big fan." She said that to spike.

"Um, when were you going to tell me about this?" Starlight remarked.

Spike just shrugged it off. "Nah, it's no big deal."

The Crystal Ponies all exclaimed. I"t most certainly is!"

Starlight Glimmer had somehow gotten a chair and a bag of popcorn. "That's it! We're not going anywhere until I get the whole story!"

Shining Armor stopped everypony as they approached where the baby was being held. "Before we go in, I should probably tell you. Seeing the baby might be a bit of a shock."

Twilight Sparkle shrugged it off, as did the rest of them. "Come on, big brother. I've met babies before. I expect meeting this one won't be any different." When they walked in, all of them (with the exclusion of Cyre) gasped at the baby as it cooed, mainly because it had wings and a horn.

Twilight Sparkle quickly tried to compose herself. "Of course, I could be wrong. The baby is an Alicorn?!"

Princess Cadance walked over, and she was just as tired as Shining armor was a few minutes ago. "It looks that way."

Rarity was the first one to voice her opinion. "But... But... But I thought Alicorn wings had to be earned by accomplishing some great, princess-worthy deed!"

Applejack was as confused as the rest of them. "Yeah. How can you just be born with 'em?"

"The birth of an Alicorn is something Equestria has never seen!" They all turned and saw princess Celestia and Luna.

"It is beyond even our understanding." Luna replied.

"That's not very reassuring." Fluttershy responded in a hushed tone.

Pinkie Pie of course, was just excited. "Wow! A unicorn, and a Pegasus! So she could be a super-strong flyer and have crazy baby magic!"

Rainbow Dash began to welcome this due to Pinkie's enthusiasm. "Well, I know all about super-strong flying!"

"And I can help keep tabs on her magic!" Twilight said with confidence. Flurry Heart sneezed and blasted a hole into the ceiling.

Princess Celestia was intrigued. "It appears her magic is more powerful than that of a newborn unicorn!"

Cyre then decided to speak up. "Uh, yeah. No kidding she's powerful, with my scouter, I can easily tell her power is already over 2,500! That's almost Twilight Sparkle Level magic!"

Princess Luna looked outside to see a crowd gathering nearby. "The crowds have already started to gather."

Pinkie Pie started to blow up balloons. "This Crystalling is gonna be some party!"

Princess Cadance was still a little worried. "Do you think we should call it off?"

Rainbow Dash wasn't phased by Cyre, nor Princess Cadance. "Um, we've all faced a lot worse than baby magic."

"I can't imagine cancelling such a beautiful and important ceremony over something so potentially adorable!" Rarity said in agreement.

Applejack,Fluttershy,Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash spoke in general agreement.

Princess Celestia was with them on this. "In light of the little one's abilities, this Crystalling might be more important than ever. She then turned to Cadance. "Perhaps you should address your subjects and remind them of that."

Twilight Sparkle walked over to shining armor. "Shining Armor! Do you have everything you need for the ceremony?"

"Huh? Oh, no! I still have to interview the honor guards, choose the purity crystal, and pick a crystaller!" He said in worry.

Twilight Sparkle calmed him down from his mini freak out. "Alright, take it easy. Pinkie can stay here with me and Cyre and keep an eye on the baby."

"And we'll all help you with everythin' else." Applejack replied.

"Yeah, you can count on us!" Cyre responded in pride.

Little did they all know, that baby would cause a very big problem for the empire, very soon...
