Chapter 4

As the town soon became quiet and calm,the resident's of Ponyville began to peak out of their homes seeing that all the timber wolves had disappeared. Slowly, everypony gathered at the school house, noticing some unknown being standing next to Rainbow Dash, Derpy, and her daughters. Everypony was hesitant of this strange and mysterious creature. It stood as tall as Princess Celestia. Was it friendly, or could it be worse than the timber wolves?

"So, umm... Dash was it? What now? " Johann asked tilting his head, not sure what to do now that everyone could see him. He felt a sense of unease, and he watch the equine slowly draw nearer. Before Rainbow could answer his question the crowd behind them parted making a pathway as Princess Twilight along with the rest of the Elements of Harmony made their way to them. Twilight eyes locked onto Johann as she approached him, her face was expressionless,but carried a calming sence along with her as well.

Breathing in twilight began to speak "Hello. I am Twilight Sparkle, Princess of Friendship." She gently lowered her head in a small bow. The ponies around gasped as member of royalty bowed to the unknown begin."We thank you for saving our friend as well as Derpy’s daughter." Raising her head, she looked back up at Johann waiting to see how he would react.For a moment the atmosphere was quiet and tense as everypony waited with baited breath to see how this stranger would react.

The silence was broken as Johann breath in."It is an honor to make your acquaintance, Princess Twilight." With a swift movement Johann shifted one foot in front of the other,while placing one hand over his chest and the other behind his back as he leaned forward to return the bow . “My name is Johann and it is nice to meet you all." And with those words alone the ice was broken. The mood had shifted to a calmer and relax environment from those words.

Twilight exhaled loudly as if a major war had been averted. Slowly, she regained her composure and straightened her posture and stepped forward towards Johann. “It's nice to meet you too, Johann, and we welcome you to our home." Twilight extended her hoof as a sign of friendship. Johann knelt down and carefully grasped her hoof and shook it. "I am honored, your Majesty, by your kindness and your welcome." Tilting his head down, Johann gently placed a kiss on Twilight's hoof, causing a blush cross to her muzzle. As well as on the other elements of harmony.

"O-of course. There's n-no need to be s-so formal." Her voice cracked as she stuttered to get the words out. “And you can just call me Twilight, no need for the whole ‘Princess’ or ‘your majesty’ hehe." Twilight's face was now crimson red.

"Oh.Well, if you say so,"standing up, Johann gave everyone a warm smile. "It's nice to meet you Twilight, and everyone else." The air went from being tense, to cheerful in a matter of second.

Back at the Friendship Castle of friendship,the ponies along with their new friend enter. Johann marveled at the inside of the crystal castle. Turning his head looking all around him trying to soak in every little detail. From the purple crystal walls to the green and yellowish and stained-glass windows that shimmered in the sunlight. "Man this place is huge and so...crystally,” Johann chuckled as he walked down the halls with twilight and friends behind.

"So now what do we do,since well you know him being here and all?" Rainbow leans over to Twilight as she spoke in a whisper hoping to not allow Johann to hear her.

"For now let's just let him get comfortable before we start asking questions." Twilight whispered back while keeping an eye on him. Rainbow Dash nodded and turned her attention back to Johann as he walked through a set of doors that lead to the map room.

"Whoa. Check out this table, it's huge, “Johann ran up to a table was in the center of the room that had seven crystal chairs around it, each with a symbol above them. "So what's this room for?" He gently glided his hand along the flat surface of the table as he admired it.

"This is the cutie map, it tells them when there's a friendship problem that need to be solved." A small, yet scratchy voice answered, from nowhere.

Johann was caught of guard and looked up. "Who said that?" Turning his head left and right, Johann scanned the room,but could not find a trace of the voice, until he felt a tug at his pant leg.

"Down here." Once again the voice answered. Turning his attention downward to where he felt the tug originated from, Johann saw a creature by his feet, it had purple skin with a light green underbelly,green spikes that start from the head to the end if its tail.

"Um, hello there?" Johann said a bit confused by the sudden appearance of this creature. Kneeling down to get a better look at it, “So what are you? Some kind of iguana or something?" He asked tilting his head to the side examining it.

"IGUANA?!" The little reptile jumped onto the table to get better height. "First of all pal the name's Spike. And secondly I'm a dragon not some boring old iguana!!" The little dragon yelled causing Johann stood up and raised his hands up defensively a to calm the little drake.

"Oh sorry little guy...i mean Spike. Didn't mean to upset you." Johann let out a small chuckle as he watched the little dragon act tuff.

Spike snorted causing smoke it emit from his nostrils. “Well, so long as we made that clear." Spiked hopped off the table and walked over to Twilight who was covering her muzzle as to hide grin.

Leaning against the table Johann folded his arms and looked to his new friends."So I take it you ponies must have quite a number of questions that you want to ask."

Spike facepalmed himself as he looked over to Johann" Famous Last Words My friend.” Spike did a little salute. Before Johann could ask what spike meant l,he immediately had Twilight mere inches away from his face

“ACTUALLY I HAVE A TON OF QUESTIONS. OH, WHERE DO I BEGIN!!!!" Twilight was close to Johann, causing him to lean back further by the sudden purple alicorn in his face. With a glow of her horn, Twilight magicked up a quill and some parchment and began her barrage of questions."How old are you?! Where did you come from?! How did you get here?! What's your favorite book?!?!" Twilight asked, each question a higher pitch than the last.

Johann found himself lying on the table now as he is bombarded with Twilight’s question "Whoa there, Twilight. Take it easy." Placing a finger to Twilight’s muzzle, Johann carefully pushed the over eager alicorn back before slowly rising and continuing. "If I'm going to be answering your questions, I'd like to keep my hearing, thank you very much."

Twilight let out a squeak as she fought herself and started to calm down landing back on the ground with a bright blush on her face. "Heh, sorry about that. I get excited when comes to learning new thing." Twilight friends all started to giggle at this truth and made their way to their seats that had the same symbols that were on their flanks.

"Okay to make this fair I'll answer any and all question you have, in return I'd like to have some of mine answered first if that's okay with you guys?" Johann looked to the ponies that had now been seated. Twilight looked to her friends who all nodded in agreement to this request.

"That seems fair enough, just make sure you stay true to your word buddy," Rainbow Dash commented pointing her hoof to him while easing back into her chair.

Johann nodded as he took a deep breath and looked towards twilight once more. "I only have three question so far." Holding up three finger Johann looked to the ponies who nodded for him to continue with his questions. "First, where am I? Second, who are all of you? And thirdly, what's up with the weird butt tattoos?" The last question caused everypony in the room to blush,while spike was trying to suppress a snicker.

Cleaning her throat Twilight trying to keep a straight face from the last question, looked to Johann to give him her full attention. "To answer your first question you're in the land of Equestria ruled by Princess Celestia and Princess Luna." Johann simply nodded and waited for the rest if his questions to be answered though he knew he would later on try to go more in depth into his questions later. "As for your second question, we are the Elements of Harmony. We represent symbols of friendship. Honesty, Loyalty, Generosity,Kindness, Laughter, and Magic." Twilight pointed to each of the corresponding elements that the ponies represent.

Scratching the back of his head Johann felt like he had more questions than answer. ‘That still doesn't tell me who they are, but hey I'll figure it out later I guess.’

Twilight muzzle once again became slightly red as she ready to answer his last question. “And as for your last question, well, these are called cutie marks." Twilight pointed to her mark on her flank,her muzzle was a deeper shade of red compared to her lavender body.

Johann quirked a brow in response."I'm sorry… cutie marks? So what are they, some kind of decoration or something?" This question causes some other ponies to snicker a bit.

"No they're... um...well, they represent individual talents. See, when a pony finds their calling in life, they get their cutie mark based on whatever that calling may be." She began to point to the individual ponies around the table starting with Applejack. “Whether it be farming apple's,” next was Fluttershy, “helping animals in need,” next, she pointed to Rarity, “finding gemstones,” her hoof moved to Pinkie Pie next, “planning parties for others and making them happy,” finally she reached Rainbow Dash, who was leaning in her chair more with her hind leg on the table trying to look cool, “or being really fast." Dash gave him a smug grin.
"Everypony has their own unique set of skills."

Johann simply leaned against the wall taking the time to process all the information that he had gotten. Breathing in, he moved away from the wall and back to the table.
"Well, I'm a man of my word, so now I'll answer any and all question that you have for me for,to the best of my abilities that is." Twilight's eyes sparkled as she levitated a quill and an abnormally large stack of parchment. "And please one question at a time, otherwise I won't be able to give you a good answer." With that said, Twilight lowered the large stack and picked up one piece.

"Hehe. Sorry, force of habit." That earned a chuckle from both Johann and her friends.
"Okay first question is, what are you exactly? I've never seen anything like you before." This question had the whole table's attention as they all stared at Johann waiting for his response.

Raising his hand to his chin Johann took a moment. "Well, see, now that's a bit complicated, but for now, you can refer me as a Saiyan." Looking to the ponies, he waited for their response.

"A Saiyan? What the heck is a Saiyan?" Rainbow Dash blurted out without a second thought. Twilight gently nudged her with her wing trying to get her to check her attitude.

"Sorry Johann we didn't mean for that come out rude or anything." Rubbing the back of her head twilight apologized to Johann in hopes not to upset him.

Raining his hand up and gently waving to let her know he takes no offense."it's fine don't worry about. Now then as for the whole saiyan thing." Clearing his throat Johann inhaled then exhale." The saiyans are a warrior race built and designed for battle. They carve battle and lived for the thrill of it, and with every battle we get strong from every fight. However, I am only half saiyan."

Twilight raises her hoof to which Johann nodded for her to ask her questions"What's the other half then?" The scratching of a quill on parchment paper could be heard as she asked.

"The other half is human or earthling if you want to be more accurate. Now to under that part I must go over my origin in order for this to make sense, I'll be starting with the home world of the Saiyans and it's destruction."The room was silent and everypony was hanging on every word with baited breath.

"A long time ago the, Saiyans used to thrive on a planet they called Vegeta, the king of this planet and his heir to the throne was also named Vegeta." Looking at ponies Johann was making sure they we're still able to follow along. "The kingdom was home to the Saiyans obviously. Now the Saiyans weren't a race of heroes, no far from it. They would travel to different planets and destroy all life on them, and once they had done so, they would sell the planet for profit." By these words some of the ponies gasped and covered their mouths. Never before had they heard of such cruelty.

"What the BUCK!?" Rainbow Dash stomped her front hooves onto the table in an outburst. "So what, they just went around ending innocent lives and then what? They sell if for money like it's no big deal!?" Rainbow eyes flared by these words and glared at Johann with a hint of disgust and rage, Johann simply nodded in shame at her question.

Before she could continue her rant, Twilight placed a hoof onto Dash's shoulder trying to calm her down. “Rainbow Dash, please let him finish. I'm sure that there's more to this story than that." Dash had taken a deep breath and slowly sat back in her chair with her front hooves crossed, glaring at him.

"I'm sorry if my history had struck a chord Rainbow Dash, but believe me when I say I don't enjoy it anymore than you." His words were sincere and honest as he gave a gentle Bow to show her that he meant no harm. Dash only grunted and looked away, still listening but half-hearted.

Twilight sighed and looked back to him. "Please continue, Johann,” Her quill ready to write once more, Twilight gave her full attention to him.

Inhaling once again he started to continue."The method in which they choose who goes to what planet is decided based on that Saiyan's power level." Before he was able to finish explains Twilight raised her hoof once more only now she looked like a child would do if they had a question in school they really wanted to know. "Um, yes Twilight?"

"What does that mean? Power level?" This question seemed to have peaked the ponies mind as they looked curiously.

"Oh, wow, um, okay. Well, a power level is what the Saiyan's used to detect the strength of each individual or in some case there ki energy.” Twilight raises her hoof again only to have Johann hold up his to signal her to wait. “Before you ask, ki energy is the lifeforms that flows through all things living,and every living things has it.” Twilight lowered her hand and started to write everything down.
“They use this method to determine how much strength one has, and what they would use in a battle against their opponents to measure their strength in comparison to their own."

Twilight's quill continued to scratch along the parchment paper as she listened to Johann tail of his species origin.

"Anyway before a saiyan is sent to another planet to conquer it, two things happen first. One, they measure the strength of the inhabitants of the planet to determine its difficulty. And two, depending on the difficulty of the planet is what decided which Saiyan would go there. Now if the planet has a high difficulty they would send a full-grown Saiyan to conquer it. But if it's a weak planet, they should send a child instead."

"They would send their own babies?!" Fluttershy yelled abruptly before covering mount by the sudden outburst she made.

"Yes, they would. it was a terrible thing they would do but it would both give the baby the experience they need, or...." at this Johann paused not wanting to say.

"Or what?" Twilight asked eager for him to continue.

"Or they would die from being too weak." Theose words caused many of the ponies to gasp in horror. "I know. That was my initial response as well. But that might have been how my story could have began. You see, my father was sent to a planet called Earth due to his low power level when he was born. And in doing, so my father along with a handful of Saiyans was spared the fate that befell planet Vegeta."

"And um..what would that be darling?" Rarity asked feeling a bit worried.

"Planetary destruction." These words echoed in the room causing the everypony to gasp, even Rainbow Dash's attention snapped back. "The planet had been destroyed in one fell swoop, by the hands of king’s once known ally, Lord Frieza."

"Wait. If they were allies, why would he do such a thing? These saiyan would have proven to be powerful allies." Twilight asked baffled by a this.

"Well at some point Frieza realized that the more years past the more that saiyan children were being born with higher power levels than his own warriors could produce. Frieza knew that if this continued, that there was a small chance that the Saiyans might turn traitor on him in an attempt to overthrow him and his kingdom. And so Frieza himself killed King Vegeta and destroyed the planet."

The room was silent once more. The idea of a begin that could destroy an entire planet was completely terrifying. Everyone remained quiet before applejack broke the silence. “But ya did say that some of them Saiyans survived, right?"

Johann's expression changed from one of dread to a more chipper smile. "Yes and one of the of those saiyan was the Prince and my father. My father’s name is Goku." A bright smile crossed his face. "And this is where the story really begins." With a grin on his face, Johann began to regale his story of his family and friends adventures back home. From Goku and friend search for the dragon balls all the way to the Tournament of Power. The ponies were in awe as each story left them at the edge of their seats. As he finished telling the story, he smiled at the reaction of all the ponies . From Twilight’s face looking like her head might explode, to Rainbow Dash's who just came down from an adrenaline high.

"That is totally awesome ...I mean, I've lived through some pretty awesome stuff myself, what with being an element of harmony and all, hehe." Dash said trying not to sound too impressed, but failed.

"And I must say I do envy that Piccolo fellow. Being able make clothes with just his mind,” Rarity trailed seeming to only take that part from the story.

"I never knew Saiyans had such a rich history or that they would be capable of such feats, first space travel and transformational and even ascending to God like power!! Oh I can't wait to tell the princess" Twilight added reviewing her notes in excitement.

Rainbow Dash rolled her eyes."So, I've got a question though." Rainbow asked looking past Twilight.

"Shoot." Johann smiled waiting for her question.

"So, like, how come your dad decided to have you, if you don't mind me asking?" When rainbow asked the question for room got quiet and everypony looked to her as if that question was a taboo."What? It's a legit question. I'm only asking cuz from what he told us his dad didn't seemed like he would ever have another kid?"

"RAINBOW DASH!!!!" Applejack yelled from across the table irritated by the very thought of thinking such a thing let alone actually saying. “It's none of our business whether his father seemed or didn't seem to want more kids. That was the rudest thing you could ever say." She slapped her hoof onto the table glaring at rainbow. Rainbow looked down feeling ashamed, not only by her question,but by the fact it made Applejack upset as well.

"Whoa! Easy there AJ! It's fine. I get it and to be honest, I get where she's coming from."Johann raised his hands to calm the farm pony down."I take no offense at all, and to answer your question, Rainbow,"Johann turned his head so that he was talking directly to Dash," My dad decided that our universe needed more capable fighter in case something like the tournament of powers came up again. He thought that maybe if he along with his friends were to train someone with all their might, then maybe that person would be part of the next generation of warriors to protect the earth."

"Wow. Really? That so amazing. Oh, now I have even more questions." Twilight squealed in joy. "Okay, can I ask about your biology now, about the Saiyan part that is?" Twilight noted trying to find out more about the warrior race.

"Oh yeah, ask away. Anything you want to know, just ask."smiling with his hand behind his head Johann waited.

"So how do you Saiyans reproduce?" Twilight asked with a straight face, causing Johann to fall back with his legs in air twitching, as if he was hit with a train, and everypony else blushing at Twilight's daring question.

With a face as red as an apple, Johann got to his feet looking at the purple alicorn. "Whoa whoa! I know I said I'd answer any question, but that is a bit...." Before he could finish, Twilight was trying hold back a giggle by covering her muzzle with her hoof.

"This is payback for when I gave you that kiss on the hoof earlier isn't it?" Twilight nodded as she started to laugh with no restraint.The rest of the ponies started to laugh as well,making the mood in the room much lighter and more relax and calm.

"So back to my real questions." Finally, after she had finish laughing Twilight was able to collect her composure. “My first question is, how old are you Johann?"

"Oh well I'm 18 years old."

"Okay and what is your diet like?" This question seemed to pull everyone attention

"Well I'm an omnivore if that's what you're talking about, I do eat meat but I can also eat fruits and vegetables, along with nuts and berries." This cause a few of the elements to look a bit worried.

Twilight resumed her writing, taking in any and all details." Okay that makes sense, and what purpose does that tail serve?" She pointed to the tail that was swaying behind him.

"Oh um well it's rather simple, it's just a tail you know hehe. It's great for grabbing and holding stuff." Unwrapping his tail from his waist Johann moved his tail around with great dexterity.

"Oh, I see. So it's prehensile?"

"Yep. Pretty much nothing special." Johann lets out a small chuckle. 'If I told them about what it was really meant for, they'd flip a lid.'Johann couldn't notice that Applejack was staring at him intently.

Soon the sun began to set over the mountain. Twilight along with the other elements began to yawn. Twilight glanced to the nearby window seeing the sun is slowly setting."Okay my last question is probably the most important one so far." Looking away from the window and over to her notes."How did you get here?" This question was the one Johann had been expecting and slowly breathe in and exhales.

"Well I think it has to do with the work I've been doing with Bulma. Remember when I told you girls about how Vegeta made friends with one of the Saiyans from Universe 6?" Twilight and Co. nodded. "Well, Bulma thought she could make a portal that would allow Vegeta and everyone else to travel to the different universes. And with a little bit of guidance from Whis she was able to figure a way of doing so, all she really needed to do was build the portal itself. And since I am good friends of hers I decided to help, I'm not as smart as her, but I was more the muscles when she needed it. Vegeta was always off training anyway, so I might as well." Johann rolled his eyes after that last comment he spoke.

"That's amazing, she must be really intelligent to even come close to building something like that." Twilight exclaimed with a twinkle in her eyes.

"Yeah she is hehe. So as we were working on the finale pieces of the portal something happened. All of a sudden the machine started activating and shorting out, next thing we knew, the portal started to collapse in on itself. Everything within a mile radius started to get sucked in. I had gotten Bulma far enough, so she's would be safe, however I was not so fortunate. No matter how hard struggled I was too weak. The last thing I remember seeing was Bulma trying to reach my hand, but it made no difference. The last thing I remember was everything going to black and I lost consciousness. After that...well you already know what happened."

The ponies had saddened looks upon them, the all felt bad for the wayward traveler. Twilight stood up from her chair and made her way over to Johann placing a hoof on his arm."Well either way we are glad to have you here in our world Johann, and we hope that you can adjust to it here in Equestria." Twilight smiled and she started to yawn. "Oh my. It's gotten late. Maybe, we can continue this another time." Soon the others began to yawn once more knowing it was getting late, and they all she started to head home. "We have a spare bedroom you can use if you like Johann. Just until we find a place for you to stay, that is?" Johann simply nodded as he followed Twilight to the spare room.
