Vistir Of The Night
Chapter 2 edited by SynthetaCrete
The sun soon rose over the horizon shining its light down on Ponyville as Celestia took over control of the day from her younger sister who had watched over the night. A soft beam of morning light passed through a window shining upon the unconscious Pegasus that was Rainbow Dash. The cheerfully painted hospital room was basked in the growing light of day and her injuries from the previous night had been bandaged and cared for by the poor family she had startled in the middle of the night by literally crashing into their home.The bandaged blue Pegasus groaned and shifted her body slowly as she cracked her eyes open confused as to what was going on.
"Owww... Why do I feel like I got hit in the head by a barn?" She closed her eyes only to snap them back open again after memories began to painfully flood into her head. Quickly, she sat up right and tried to figure out what happened only to lay back down groaning in pain from her many injuries. She knew what a broken wing felt like and she was convinced she had at least one.
"Okay...let’s see what happened. I chased it down past Sweet Apple Acres, and next thing I know, there was a bright light and then...." She groaned, holding her head in her hooves as pain blossomed in her brain from the memory. "Oh...yeah. I flew into the barn and got knocked out. Ugh! So not cool..."
She heard the door open and turned to see her friends filing into the room, circling around with looks of deep concern. Nopony else seemed to have been hurt by the alien which hushed the bulk of Rainbow Dash’s silent fears even though she would never admit she was scared of what could have happened.
"Oh Rainbow Dash darling, are you alright? Applebloom said you took a terrible blow to the head! We have been worried sick ! Oh! I could simply faint!" Rarity said, using her magic to levitate a beautified ice pack against the large bruise on Rainbow Dash's forehead.
"Yeah! That was one doozy of a landing, Rainbow!" Pinkie exclaimed a bit too close for Rainbow Dash’s comfort and only making her headache worse.
"I'm fine you guys. Really, it doesn't even hurt that bad." She frowned before looking over to Applejack with a look of deep remorse. "Sorry about the hole I made in your barn, Applejack,"
"Aw, shucks Rainbow. Don't worry abou’ it. It was an accident after all. B’sides, Applebloom has been wantin’ anotha window fer some time now," Applejack chuckled giving her friend a wink. "You just saved me half th’ trouble, sugarcube."
Rainbow Dash smiled and turned to see that Spitfire was standing behind the group with a look of worry. This was in and of itself concerning as Spitfire was a legend at keeping her cool. Whatever was wrong, it was worse than bad.
"Something wrong, boss?" She asked after sitting up slowly in order to better look at her, Spitfire’s frown deepening as she was addressed directly.
"Well, after we managed to get out of the lake and found you knocked out, we lost track of that thing and haven't found a single trace of it anywhere," Spitfire admitted, looking to the side as if to save a bit of her dignity at having to admit defeat.
The room went silent. Everypony was wondering what in Equestria that strange creature was and, more importantly, where in Equestria was it? What was it up to? Was it destroying Manehattan? Had it vanished into thin air like it never existed? Were they all going crazy…?
"So, Rainbow Dash, what did it look like when you guys were chasing it?" Twilight asked with a quill and some parchment ready to write down some notes. Rainbow Dash closed her eyes and tilted her head trying to remember the details through the haze of pain throbbing in her bandaged head.
"Hmmm.... well it was really tall, like taller than Princess Celestia. And it stood on its back legs and had these weird foreleg thingies," As she talked, Twilight started writing away, not missing a single word and even jotting down the word ‘thingies’ as if it qualified as a descriptive term.
"Uh-huh, and what else? Were there any features that stood out?" With that question, something popped into Rainbow’s mind.
"Yeah it had a long tail, kinda like a monkey," She explained looking to Twilight, noticing her raised eyebrow and look of bewilderment.
"Hmmm, well I've never heard of any creature like that before." She placed a hoof to her chin and began to ponder over what little she knew about what had happened.
Everything about the situation was bizarre. She had checked and rechecked and re-re-rechecked her astronomy notes from the previous night and was absolutely convinced she had not seen a massive meteor hurtling through space bound for Equestria. She would have spotted it months ago. No...it had somehow appeared out of nowhere but that wasn’t logical at all now was it? There was something very off about the whole situation but even Twilight had to admit defeat in face of the lack of any concrete information. Science and observation had served her well in the past and she was determined to have them see her through to the end.
"Well, there's no point wondering about that dreadful creature," Rarity said, fluffing Rainbow’s pillow and helping her lay back down. "For now darling, you should get some rest until the doctor says it is okay for you to leave,"
As Rarity placed the custom ice pack back on Rainbow's head, the others nodded and left the room so Dash could rest.
"I'll see you when your feeling better Dash. Till then, relax and we'll worry about that thing later," Spitfire smiled as she left the room along with the others.
Rainbow Dash was now left alone in the room staring up at the ceiling. From time to time she adjusted the ice pack to fit more comfortably on her head but otherwise had nothing else to do to keep her occupied. As she laid there, awake and unable to sleep due to the pain, she realised that she had left out some crucial details that Twilight should have known. The first was the way the creature looked at her. Her mind raced back to just before she had crashed into the barn and right at the moment she almost had it by the leg. She remember the look on its face as it turned towards her. At first her imagination at the time made it seem like the creature was looking at her with a look of intimidation. However, as she played the memory over and over in her head, she soon realised that the look it gave her was that of both confusion and fear. The second thing she remembered was that it spoke.
She began to remember clearly how it raised its arms to its face, and closed its eye before yelling ‘SOLAR FLARE!’ and the bright light was the next thing she remember. It was so bright, as if Celestia herself had placed the sun right in front of her. She could still see the bright light burned into the back of her eyelids. It was a miracle she hadn’t gone blind.
“‘Solar flare’?" She repeated the words it had spoken. What did those words mean? Where did the light come from? And what the heck was that thing?
She began to wonder again in silence but quickly stopped when she felt the pain in her head rising once more. The ice pack had lost its icey coolness not to long ago rendering it next to useless. Reaching up, she took it off her head and placed it on the table next to the bed but as she did so, she could have sworn she had saw something by her window. She started and took a second quick glance and saw that nothing was there.
"Must have been my imagination or something," She shrugged, leaning back against her plain white hospital pillows wishing for something, anything to dull the throbbing pain in her head and body.
Soon seconds turned into minutes and minutes into hours, all the while the pain in her head still throbbed causing her to wince in pain. She called for the nurse but received no answer. She knew they kept medicines and painkillers on hoof for ponies just like her who needed them. Heck, she had gotten them the last time she was here, why not now?
"Oh man. This headache is gonna be the death of me,” She moaned as she tried for rub the pain away only for the pain to increase from her touch. Her eyes scanned the room in a desperate attempt to try and get her mind off the pain.
As she looked around, she decided to take in the little details of the hospital room seeing as she had literally nothing better to do. Every little detail was taken in and nothing escaped her boredom. From the plain sky blue paint on the wall to a poster of a cat hanging off a branch with the words ‘Hang in there!’ in bold words underneath it, she saw it all.
"Heh. Bet Fluttershy would like that poster..." She chuckled, continuing her scan of the room. As she did, her eyes had locked onto the window for the second time. This time she could have sworn she saw something at the window again. But as she turned her attention back to it, yet again there was nothing there to see.
"Geez. The thing I hate about hospitals is how creepy they can get...sheesh..." She muttered, shivering at the idea which was reasonable as the sun was soon setting and the lights in her room hadn't been turned on yet.
"Heh, look at me all scared for nothing! It's not like that thing is waiting by my window," She laughed, imagining the creature standing at her window watching her from the shadows growing outside.
In her imagination she could see it now. That thing was at her window looking in from the outside as the sun went down and basked the world in darkness, the perfect time to be all sneaky and creepy. It was a classic horror movie cliche after all! There was always at least one scene in any of those movies where the killer was framed in the window as a silhouette with some scary music trying to get in a cheap jump scare. How wimpey did they think she was anyway? Rainbow Dash doesn’t get scared. Maybe taken by surprise and forced to...advance in another direction away from what surprised her but never scared. Her pride would never allow it.
"Next thing you know it’s gonna decide to open the window and let it self in, haha!” She chuckled to herself, laying back in bed and looking back at the ceiling to occupy herself once more.
She laughed at the idea being so ridiculous. Of course the thing wouldn’t have followed her to the hospital. It had to have some sense of right and wrong since all it had done to her was flash a blinding light to get her off it’s tail so she didn’t see it as an enemy per-se. Nothing with bad intentions ever assaulted somepony in the hospital. A cool breeze swept over her feverish skin bringing some relief to the pains of recovery and after being abandoned by the nurses hour before, she considered the breeze to be her greatest friend at that time.
"Mmm, that feels nice. It was getting kinda warm in here. Good thing the window was open already or I just might die of heat attack or whatever they called it." She sighed, enjoying the cool evening breeze kissing her fur and cooling her sweaty skin.
As she closed her eyes, she remembered that she hadn't opened the window and nopony had come in to check on her since the others had left some hours before. So how could there be a breeze if the window is closed? She slowly looked back to the window only to see it had been opened, and that something was directly outside silhouetted against the night sky like a creature in a horror movie.
Rainbow felt her heart racing as her eyes never moved away from the window.Whatever was outside was tall and was beginning to slowly and stealthily climb its way in. And then she remembered she was on the third floor and there were no ledges for somepony to stand on to reach her from the outside. Her heart sank as the head of...something looked right at her. Those dark brown eyes were looking through her. It was the creature from last night and it was trying to get inside her room. As she saw a foot make its way to the floor, she could only watch because her body was stiff in fear and horror as she watched it make its way in.
Soon the second leg was in, and it arms reached in to grab hold of the inside frame as it ducked its head in. It was now completely inside the room and it was just as tall as she remembered it. Rainbow’s body was now completely shaking, but she couldn't move at all, as if it placed a jinx on her. She could not move,or make a sound. Not even a yelp for help. For this once...Rainbow Dash felt confident in admitting she was absolutely terrified.
The creature looked around the room before turning its attention to Rainbow Dash, causing her body to stiffen and stop shaking entirely. It gazed upon her with those dark brown eyes, and though there wasn't a light on she could barely make out the black and spikey hair on its head. It moved slowly, closer to the paralyzed pony until it was at the side of her bed looking down at her. Its movements were slow and deliberate and any trained athlete could tell it was packing a lot of muscle and even more experience using them.
‘Why is it here? Why is it in this room? Why is it in my room?!!’
As the questions raced through her mind, it approached her bed and bent over her. With a swift movement it was now at eye level with where she laid unable to move. As she looked it in the eyes, unable to look away, she noticed it turning its head to the table where she left the ice pack. She barely tried to look at what it was looking at before it turned it's gaze back to her. watching she noticed it titling it head looking at the bruise at on her head. She couldn’t comprehend the expression she could see on its pale face or the emotion behind its brown eyes.
"What...d-do..w-want?" She stuttered her body shaking once more. As if in response to her question she saw it turn its head to the side, and saw it's arm move down to what she could only imagine was a...pocket? It had pockets? She wondered before seeing that it pulled something out of it. As it raised the object out so the moonlight from outside shined on it casting it in silvery light and revealing...
"A… a bean?" Even in her fear stricken monument she was caught off by this. The next thing she know if nodded it's head and using its free hand gesturing to open her mouth by opening its own.
Rainbow Dash’s eyes widen as she could see a row of incisors and sharp canines.
"Why?" Were the only words that escaped her mouth. For what seem like forever, it did nothing as if shocked it had been asked this question.
The silence was broken as she could hear it breath in. "It will heal your injuries and make you feel better".
Rainbow Dash's jaw dropped. It could speak. It could actually talk! It’s voice was deep but not threatening. Before she could say anything else, it spoke again,
"This will remove any pain you feel and restore you back to full health." She heard it speak yet again, this time she noticed more of how it's voice sounded. It was somewhat deep like a stallion’s, but also gentle in its own way.
For another brief moment, Rainbow Dash just laid there, thinking and thinking until she had no other response but to open her mouth and close her eyes. She felt something fall into her mouth. It was small and smooth.
"Now carefully chew and swallow" She heard it speak again, still unable to get over how its voice sounded.
Slowly she began to chew the bean and notice that it had no real flavor. It was almost like eating a soybean. Really plain and tasteless. Soon, she swallowed and as she waited she noticed that the pain in her head was gone, it was actually gone. She moved her hoof to rub her head with her eyes still closed and prepared for the pain she might feel from touching it again. Flinching as her hoof reached her head, she was taken aback that there was no pain at all. She rubbed harder, tempting fate that it might all of a sudden sting again, but it never came. The pain simply wasn't there anymore as if it had never existed.
"Hey, the pain! It's all gone!" She opened her eye to look at the creature once more, but to her surprise, it was gone. She looked back at the window and saw it was still open. She scanned the room again only a bit faster.
"Where did it......?" She looked around again and again thinking she might have missed it the first time, but it was nowhere to be seen. She looked at the window and thought ‘Did it go out the window when my eyes were closed? ’
The sound of hooves clopping could be heard from the other side of the door and soon a nurse walked in and turned on the light. She couldn’t believe that she had called for a nurse for hours and hadn’t gotten any response until now ? Of course it made sense...why would the Laws of Irony be any more forgiving to her now than they had been in the past?
"Alright, Miss Dash. Time to change the ice in your ice pack!" Rainbow just continued to gaze out the window.
"No thanks. I'm actually feeling a lot better now," She said to the nurse, not turning her eyes away from the open window
Chapter 3
As the sun rose over the mountain to signal the dawn of a new day,Rainbow Dash checked out of the hospital and made her way to Twilight's castle, ready to tell her friends of the encounter she had the night before. She bolted down the path leading to twilight castle watching and ponies awoke to the new day and began to set up their stands for business. Soon she saw castle friendship ahead. Charging through the castle doors, she made her way to the map room to see her friends. Each of them was surprised to see that there once injured friend now up and about like nothing happened.
After an hour of explaining the situation to her friends, the room was silent. All her friends looked to her in both awe and confusion. From Fluttershy shaking in fear, to Rarity looking like she was going to do one of her dramatic faints.
"So, not only did it come into your room," Twilight began, still grasping what she heard, "It also gave you some sort of magic bean that healed you?" While happy for her friend recovery Twilight couldn't shake the sense of unease from her mind.
Rainbow nodded her head to confirm what she already told them. "And I think it's actually a he." Everyone went wide eye and looked at Rainbow in disbelief.
Moments passed before Twilight standing up from her chair and took a breath, slowly she began to pace around in a circle while her eyes were closed as she was in deep thought. After five minutes of this Twilight took a breath of air and sighed. "I think the next course of action is simple..." the rest of the mares looked to Twilight, waiting for her to finish, "We must extend our hoof in friendship to him and induct him into our society." Everyone seemed hesitant for a while until they all nodded their heads in agreement and made their way out of the castle to begin the search for him.
As they made their way out Twilight princess instinct took control and turned to her friends. “Alright girls let's split up into groups to cover more ground.”
“Right!!” the five mares spoke in unison.
Each of them split up and began their search. Rarity, Twilight, and Applejack searched the North half of Ponyville, while Pinkie and Fluttershy took the South side.Rainbow Dash decided to scout from above. Flying high in the air to get a bird's eye view, to cover even more ground. She scanned the ground with her magenta eyes, making sure she scanned every inch of the town, not missing a single detail. Most of the residents were out and going about their day to day routine. From Sugarcube Corner to the school house where all the little fillies and colts out playing on the playground, she even saw the Cutie Mark Crusaders playing together in a game of hoof ball.
An hour had passed and there was no sign of him. Rainbow had done at least five laps around Ponyville and there was still no trace of him. 'Maybe he left and isn't even around here anyone.'
Just as she passed the Castle of the Two Sisters, something had caught her attention. She barely noticed it from the corner of her eye. Turning her she saw what seemed to be a campfire in another part of the Everfree Forest. 'Nah it's just Zecora's tree.' She turned her attention back to the town before a thought struck her. Turning her head back to the smoke, she looked once more. 'Zecora's tree isn't near the lake. It's on the edge of the Everfree.' Looking back, she saw that the smoke was indeed near the lakes edge.The same lake where she and the wonderbolts flew past on that chase. This would be a possible lead to finding the creature, turning her body she mad her way in the direction of the forest.
Slowly, she made her descent through an opening in the forest canopy, and walked toward the smoke on hoof, not wanting to lose the element of surprise if the creatures was there,it would best not to be seen coming from above. Rainbow Dash carefully walked through the dense foliage of the everfree careful not to lake make to loud a noise should her target be near.Within minutes, she was in a clearing that opened up to the edge of the lake. The water glistened in the sun's shining light, making it sparkle as it reflected the sunlight. As she stared out into the lake, a smoky and salty aroma passed her nose causing her to sniff the air. ' what Is that ?' Turning her head, she found the source of both the smoke and the aroma along with, to her surprise, the very thing she was looking for.
Sitting on top a fallen tree, in front of the open fire was the same creature from last night. Dash and remained silent in hope not to scare him off. Slowly and carefully she made her way to get closer. With ever step, her heart raced thinking what should she do once she's close enough. 'Do I just walk up and introduce myself, or do I wait until he notices me?' Each step she took made her more nervous as she got closer. ‘I'm mean not like I'm scared of anything. After all I am a wonderbolt and one of the awesome element of harmony’ Dash began to internally monologue. Only a few more steps till she's right behind him. As she drew nearer she was again met with the same aroma from before. Tilting her head ever so gently to the right, she saw what was emitting the smell. There being roasted on a few sticks were a couple of fishes near the open flames.'If he eats fish, does that mean he would also eat other kinds of meat?' She gulped quietly as she was right behind him.
Stealing her nerves Rainbow Dash to a quiet breath, and she closed the distance between her and the unknown creature. "Ahem," clearing her throat taking a step back in response. As if in response to Dash making her presence known the creator slowly turned it's head to look over its shoulder spotting Rainbow Dash. For a what felt like hours it stared at dash over its shoulder, examining her as if dumbfounded that she was there to begin with.With a slow fluid motion it moved one of its legs over the tree and the other soon followed. Turning its entire upper body, it faced her and looked directly at her. "Um, hi. I'm Rainbow Dash, and you are?" she gulped, smiling trying to stay calm and collected. The creature opened it mouth to speak.
"RUN!! TIMBERWOLVES!!!!". A loud telly carried from the across the trees could he heard. Turning their heads scream came from past the trees and, the sound of ponies yelling and crying out in fear followed after."That came from town!!" Rainbow dash took off without a second thought and made a beeline back. As she flapped her wings with all her might she soon found herself over the town. To her horror, timberwolves were running amok in the streets of ponyville,chasing ponies. Some ponies were screaming and running in fear into their homes slamming them shut to get away from the wolves.
"Everypony, get inside and barricade your doors!" Twilight was on the ground shouting as she blasted some charging timber wolves that there about to pounce on Lyra and Bon-bon. Who quickly made it into their house yanking the welcome doormat inside as they slam the door closed.
The rest of the Elements were down on the ground fighting off the carnivorous beasts as ponies ran to their homes, following Twilight’s orders. Rainbow Dash turned to see that a pack of them was chasing Derpy and one of her daughters, Sparkler. Tucking her wings in, she dove, down making a straight shot for the wolves chasing Derpy and Sparkler.
"Hey, moss for brains! Heads up!" The timber wolves turn to see Dash diving straight for them.
CRRRAAACK!!!
With a swift punch, Rainbow had smashed through them, sending the wood that made up their bodies flying everywhere. Landing next to Derpy and Sparkler, Dash turned to them, "Are you two alright?" They both nodded, smiling up at her. 'Good they're safe....wait doesn't Derpy have two foals?'
"MOMMY!!!" Before Rainbow could ask about the second child, a scream came from across the square. It was coming from the school house. Rainbow took off in the direction of the scream with Derpy and Sparkler right behind her.
"You two need to get to safety right now!" Dash yelled turning her head to them as she ran.
Derpy shakes her head "That's my other daughter, Dinky," Tears flowed down her face as she began to pick up speed in hopes of saving the filly. "I need to save her."
Dash could see the determination in her eyes that only a loving mother could give. "Fine, just stay behind me and don't get separated!" Derpy and Sparkler nodded as they ran alongside her.
Soon, Rainbow and the other two made it the school house, there they saw miss Cheerilee getting the foals inside. But out by the side of the school house, one of the fillies was chased into a corner. The young filly with grey fur and yellow mane was backed into a corner, surrounded by timber wolves. Tears filled her eyes as she tried to climb up the wall but to no avail. Before Rainbow could charge in to rescue her, another pack of wolves blocked her path and began to snarl as they came closer to her and the ponies behind her.
"MOMMY HELP ME!" Dinky cried out as the wolves were ready to pounce, their glowing green eyes fixated on the helpless filly.
"DINKY!!!!!" Derpy and Sparkler yelled as they were forced back by Rainbow, who was trying to keep them safe from the ones in front of them.
One of the Timberwolves that surrounded Dinky let out a ghostly howled and darted towards her. The terrified filly was frozen in fear as the timber wolf jumped towards her. Teeth bared, it's glowing green eyes fixed on its next kill. Rainbow Dash looked away, knowing she couldn't do anything more than to keep the filly’s mother and sister away before they were next. The world was in slow motion and silent.
SMASH!!
The sound echoed through the air breaking the silence, followed by a yelp of pain. Rainbow Dash opened her eyes and dared to see what happened to the unfortunate filly.
Her eyes widened as the timber wolf that had jumped towards Dinky was now on the ground in pieces. What once was its head was now under the foot of something else. Standing there in its orange sleeveless shirt and pants with a blue undershirt.There with its leg crushing what once was the skull of the attacking Timberwolves stood the creature.
The rest of the small pack stepped back as their comrade was now dead beneath this new creature that they've never seen before. Lifting its foot, the creature kicked away what remained and turned to the filly.
"Are you okay, little one?" Kneeling down, he stretched his arm out to her, causing her to flinch and closer her eyes. In a slow gentle movement it placed its hand on top of Dinky's head and gently began to pet it. Dinky opened her eyes and looked up to her savior who wore a warm caring smile upon his face. Dinky's fear faded away at the sight. Slowly she nodded to answer his question.
"Alright, now what do you say we get you back to your family?" Still wearing the same smile, the creature scooped the filly up in his left arm and stood up.
The remaining wolves started to growl and snarl at the intruder, angered by the sudden intrusion on their hunt, and the loss of one of their own. Slowly, they began to circle him, each on either side of him ready to pounce. Their wooden stake like fangs barred and their claws digged into the ground like a bull readied to charge. Without warning the timber wolves pounced simultaneously at the intruder that held their next meal. Bending its knees, the creature leap into the air causing two of the wolves to slam into each other with a loud crash, scattering their bodies to the floor from the collision.
Rainbow Dash looked up as the creature landed in front of her and the two ponies behind her. It's back was turned to the timberwolves that once stood in front of her. Slowly, he kneeled down placing the little filly on the ground allowing Dinky to run to her mother and sister. Derpy hugged her daughter in a warm embracing hug as tears of joy flowed down her cheeks. While Sparkler nuzzled Dinky's cheeks, happy that her sister was safe.
The remaining wolves started to growl and snarl, making their presence known once again. Once again another Timber wolf had launched itself at the creature while its it's back as was turned “LOOK OUT!!!” Dash yelled. Before the wolf could come within an inch closer the creature turned its body and swung its arm straight into the timberwolf, knocking to the side and flying straight into a tree where its body smashed into pieces. Dash and the other ponies jaws dropped as this amazing act.
One of the Timberwolves let out a long, loud howl that could be heard throughout Ponyville. In response to the howl, more timber wolves began to make their way from the town. Rainbow Dash jumped behind Derpy and her kids ready to intercept the wolves that were coming from behind. But to their surprise, they ran past her and gathered around the three remaining wolves. With another more menacing howl the timber wolves started to glow and float into air.
"We need to get going before that thing finishes!" Rainbow Dash yelled pushing Derpy and her kids away as they started to run. As she ran she turned her attention back to the creature. "Hey come on! You should run too!!" She started as it stood there arms crossed 'Is he...? No he can't be dumb enough to wait till its done?' But he was, she watched as he carefully observed and the Timberwolves body began to take from.Before Rainbow Dash could utter another word, the ground shook as a now giant timber wolf stood In front of them. With a deep breath in letting out a loud bellow that made the very air shake. The giant timber wolf now towered over them, teeth as large as fence post, eye that glowed with a menacing emerald green. It dug its claws into the ground and began to make a mad dash towards him.
"I never got the chance to properly introduce myself." Rainbow Dash's head turned back to him still standing there as if he didn't have a care in the world. Turning his head ever so slightly so that he was looking at her."The name is Johann, and a saiyan never runs from a fight." Stretching his arm out to the now charging behemoth a light glow emits from his palms. “We run towards it!” The light grows bigger and bigger become a light shade of blue.
The charging wolf raises it claws up ready to strike. Rainbow Dash could only stand there and watch as the timber wolf’s claws went straight for Johann body. "Look out!"
The beast arm came swooping down ready to killing its prey, but before landing its killer strike, Johann turned his body sideways causing it to miss by an inch. Johann outstretched arm was now in the wolf's face, the glowing orb still at the end of his palm.
"Get lost you overgrown piece of firewood." The orb of light grew double in size, the wolf's eyes widened, as it was unable to move. "BIG BANG ATTACK!!!!" And in a flash of light, an extremely large burst of light came forth sending shock waves of air out nowhere, as it collides with the giant Timberwolf body it burst into flames and was sent flying.
The light was so brighter that Dash shielded her eyes with her left wing.
Johann turned to the three ponies and started to walk towards the prismatic pegasus. Slowly, he lowered himself until he was eye level with her, "So, miss Dash, did I make a good impression?" Smiling, he gave her a wink as he used one if his finger to close Dash’s mouth shut.
"U-uh..I guess so?" She stammered, her muzzle red with a blush. 'What the in Equestria was all that?!'

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.
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.
"Hehe. Sorry, force of habit." That earned a chuckle from both Johann and her friends.
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.
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.

Home Away From Home
The sun rose from across the horizon shining it's rays on the town of Ponyville. Ponies soon began to exit there little homes to start their day and open up for business. The birds chirped greeting the new day and flying about in the sky. The sun’s rays glistened off the crystal castle, reflecting lights of purple and blue across the sky. Insides Twilight had awoken early this day and trotted down the hallway, making her way to the spare room where her special guests was staying. Upon reaching the door she gently knocked on the door three times and waited for a response, but with no response met Twilight gently and slowly opened the door."Johann? You awake in there?" Twilight whispered as she inched her head inside.
As Twilight peeked her head inside,she saw that he was still fast asleep on the bed. Slowly and quietly she slipped inside and made her way to the sleeping saiyan. The bed in which he slept in was a few sizes too small, like a grown stallion sleeping on a colts bed,one of his arms and legs were draped onto the floor. Twilight tried to suppress a snicker at the comedic site.
'Phew that was close.The last thing I want is to wake him up before I could study what a sleeping saiyan looks like. I mean its it's not everyday you have a visitor from another universe everyday now’ She turned her attention back to the clothes on the flow, and lowered her head while her horn glowed enveloping the clothes on the floor in a light purple aura. 'I'll just move these someplace where no pony can trip over then and......' Twilight found herself trying extremely hard to lift the clothing off the floor, however she found herself unable to lift them even so much as an inch off the ground.Her horn glowed brighter as she arched her neck trying to lift the clothing off the floor,but to no avail. As her horn stopped glowing Twilight was left panting. 'How can clothes be this heavy.' As she stepped back her body fell onto the bed, and atop of the sleeping saiyan. ‘Oh no. I need to move before.....' Twilight slowly tried to get off bed and out of the room, before she could get up an arm warped around her waist pulling her closer to Johann chest.
'Oh no oh no!' Twilight slowly tried to pull away only to barley budge an inch within Johann grasp. 'Wait is he awake!?' Her eyes slowly looked up to see that Johann eyes where closed and his breathing hadn't changed. 'Well that's just great. Not only am I stuck,but he's a deep sleeper. Well at least this can't get any worse.'
Before she was able to move again the door to room slowly creaked opened." Hey Johann it's time for breakfast you coming.......?" Spike eyes widened at the sight he saw, there on the bed Twilight was laying atop Johann with his arm around her barrel with her presses against his chest. A grin slowly spread from across his from ear to ear as he slowly walked back to the door and turned around before closing the door. "I'll just give you two some privacy hehe." With a grin plastered on his face.Spike closed the door slowly.
"Wait Spike help me please!" Twilight whispered trying to get help from Spike,but before she could finish her sentence the door had closed leaving her still in the firm grasp of her guest.
'Its soft like a newborn foal?' She slowly moves her hoof away and saw that it shifted back to how it looked before she rubbed it. 'Huh? So it goes back to how looked before even after getting moved around so much?' She placed her hoof on his hair again and started to once more rub it.
"Twilight. What are you doing?" Twilight's eyes widen as she slowly looked down with her eyes only to see that Johann's eyes where now open and staring up at her.
Her heart started to beat faster and her muzzle a bright red as she stammered to get the words out." I-i well umm y-you see...." She watched as one of Johann's eyebrows raised up still waiting for an answer. "I was coming to check up on you is all haha." Finally she was able to speak.
"Okay then why are you rubbing my head like I'm a puppy?" He asked in a deadpan tone as Twilight still had her hoof on top his head.
"Oh well I thought I saw a bug in there and wanted to get it out in case it woke you up?" She said sounding like she was asking a question to see if he would approve of.
Eyebrows still raised and a small grin was beginning to creep onto his face. "Uh huh and is that why your currently straddling me like newlyweds on their first night together?" He said his grin growing wider.
Twilight's face was now crimson as she slowly takes in the position there in. Her mind raced for an answer hoping something would help. Finally she had one that might work,but she's was going to have to play her cards right.
The tables had turned as Johann was now the one blushing noticing that his arm was indeed around her waist. "Um well..... I guess this one is on me then hehe." Slowly turning his head away and releasing Twilight from his grip, Johann slowly tries to get up. "Boy I'm starving....how about we go get breakfast?" He asked trying to weasel out.
Twilight giggled as she walked out the room with Johann following. 'THANK CELESTIA THAT WORKED!!!' She yelled in her mind as she walked as calmly as possible.
Later on in the dining room everyone remained silent as they ate there breakfast with the occasional hum of the delight. The breakfast which Johann found that he enjoyed the meal before him. Spike had prepared 4 stacks of pancakes for everyone along with two pieces of toast, and two eggs(sunny side up), and hash browns and a cup of orange juice for the drink.
"So Johann what do you plan to now since well you know..... you don't know how to get back?" Spike asked after finishing his last pancake and the rest of his drink.
"Good question." Johann leaned back into his chair crossing his arms to think. “Well if I know Bulma, she's probably trying to figure a way to bring me back or find me." Raising his hand to his chin,he began to think of other ways he can get home. "When I think about it , it's possible I'm in another universe. Maybe my dad can ask Whis if the other angels can help find me, who knows really? But for now, I guess my next goal right now is to find another place to call home."
Twilight looked over and wore a confused look on her face."What's wrong with the castle. You know you're more than welcome to stay here." Finishing her sentence twilight couldn't help noticing that spike had a cheeky grin on his face. "I-I-I mean I am the princess of friendship after all. What kind of friend would I be if I didn't help hehe?" Spike only snickered and rolled his eyes.
"Thanks but I already have a place to stay, all I really need a spot to set up." Johann's words caused both twilight and spike to tilt their heads in confusion.
"What you got a tiny house in your pocket or something hehe." Spiked joked playfully chuckling a bit.
"Yep sure do." Smiling Johann simply nodded to spikes joke.
"What?!" Spike and twilight spoke in unison.
As the morning sun rose high in the sky, turning into noon. Twilight and Spike lead Johann to an open field that was about fifty feet from the castle. The area was simple, green grass on the ground, flat land and a nearby lake. As Johann inspected the area, the rest of Twilight's friends showed up wondering what their alien friend was up to.
"Afternoon Twilight. What seems to be going on here?" Applejack asked walking up to twilight as she watched Johann inspect the area.
"Truth be told, I'm not sure myself. Johann said he wanted to set up a home till he can find a way back to his world." Twilight answered while still waiting to see what Johann would do. She watched as Johann inspected the area carefully.
"But wasn't he staying with you in your castle? Did something happened to make him want to leave? Not that I blame you or anything." Fluttershy sheepishly spoke.
Twilight's face blushed slightly as the events of this morning had just hit her like a herd of buffalo, where as spike was suppressing a chuckle. Not wanting to start up any gossip, Twilight tried to think of a good excuse or reason he would want to move out.
"It could be that our beds might not had been big enough for him, or maybe that he just wants some privacy with a home of his own." Her friends nodded seeing as that is a good reason why. 'Nailed it! Crisis averted.' Her posture relaxed as Johann started walking back to them with a smile on his face.
"Yep this seems like the perfect spot to set up shop. So would your girls mind stepping back a bit?" He motion with his hands for them to step back a few, Twilight and her friends did so without question .Johann slowly slipped his free hand into his pocket and pulled out something small,it was a small rectangular metal box. Everyone looked at this mysterious item and wonder what it could be. Johann opened the box to reveal small cylinders shaped items with numbers on them. Reaching in Johann pulled out one of the cylinders with a yellow label and the number 1 on it.
"What's that for Johann?" Rainbow dash asked hovering over him to get a better look at this weird item.
"It's a capsule and also has my home." Johann commented looking up at Rainbow Dash with a smile.
"Um darning I don't think you would fit in such a small thing like that?" Rarity spoke up feeling a bit concerned.”Perhaps staying on Twilight’s castle would be best"
"Haha you'll see what I mean girls." Johann smiled and moved his thumb to the top of the capsule bushing down on the top part.
*CLICK*
Quickly Johann tossed the capsule to the center of the field where he once stood and watch as the capsule hit the ground.
Rainbow Dash stared at the small capsule now laying on the ground "Um I think it was a dud joh....."
*BOOOM!!!!*
Before rainbow could finish her sentence a large explosion came from the capsule followed by a big cloud of smoke. As the ponies and spike coughed from the dust they slowly opened there eyes and were in awe. What once used to be an empty field now had a larger structure in it. The structure was very large and seemed to be dome shaped. Upon further inspection they saw that there were 4 dome shaped structures all connected together.
"Ponies and dragon say hello the capsule Corp mobile home, this bad boy here was personally design by the head of tech Bulma Briefs herself." The ponies looked at the marvel and where in awe once again. "This puppy here comes with all the basic essentials and then some. It has one bedroom, one bathroom, a living room/kitchen with fireplace. And the piece de resistance a gravity room for training."
"What's the gravity room for?" Rainbow asked quirking an eyebrow by the mention of this name.
"I'll tell you about it later for now let me give you guys the grand tour." Johann lead the the ponies and spike up to his home,opening the door Johann allowed the girls and spike into the house.
The first room was very spacious and the walls were was white like freshly fallen snow. There was two couches and a table in the center, along the wall stood a large flat screen T.V.
"Wow this place is huge, I mean there's enough room for a Pegasus to fly around in." Dash quoted hovering around the room.
"Yeah I would have set this place up yesterday, but we did take a long time answering those question. Speaking of which." Johann turned to Twilight only to see her eyes were fixated on something in the corner in the room. There at about 5 feet tall stood in the corner was a large bookshelf
"Are those books from...?" Twilight began to ask while her hoof was shaking as she pointed to the shelf.
"From my world yes. Some of these books are hand me downs from my oldest brother Gohan." Pulling a book from the shelf Johann to showed it to twilight and friends. "This is a book on human biology for example. See my brother is a professor now so he teach all kinds of subjects." Johann handed the book over to twilight who happily took it with her magic scanning the pages with a pure smile on her face that was infectious.
"Oh my gosh, oh my gosh! Books from another world!!!" Her voice started to become a higher pitch then normal and she began to pounce up and down like a child opening a gift on Christmas day.
Smiling Johann walked over to twilight. "How about a deal twi. See neither one of us know much about each other's history or culture, so how about I let you ready all the books here in exchange you let me read some of your books on Equestria culture and history?"
These words sparked a light in Twilight's eyes as the concept of learning about new history and culture along with sharing her knowledge of her own history and culture was by far and equal trade.
"You got a deal, ooh I can't wait to get started. I'll be back in a minute with the proper books and scrolls."A in a flash of purple Twilight had teleported away.
"Great Johann now you went and gave twilight a nerdgasm."Rainbow teased causing everyone to laugh.
Johann smiles as he scratched the back of his head."Haha my bad. Oh hey I forgot you wanted to see the gravity room right?" He asked pointing with his finger to a hallway.
Rainbow Dash's ears perked up and she nodded still curious by the name of it.
"Nope actually the opposite." Turning towards the hallway that he mentioned and pointed to before he motioned with his hand for them to follow him.
As they walked down the hallway some of the ponies noticed the pictures along the walls. Somewhere of other people. One had a photo with a tall man next to a woman holding a baby in her arms, and there were two more males, one had short hair and glasses who was almost as tall as the older male. while the other looked almost identical to the older man,but was shorter and younger.
"Is that your family, Johann?" Fluttershy asked pointing to the picture on the wall as she hovered off the ground to get a closer look at it.
Johann smiles nodding his head. "Yep that my family." Raising his hand he pointed to each of the people in the photo. "The one in the orange and blue gi is my dad. Next to him is my mom. On the left is my big brother gohan,he's the one I told you guys about earlier. And then there my other brother goten, he actually looks more like our dad then me or Gohan hehe." He chuckled as he pointed out how much they look alike.
"Aww and is that baby you, you look so cute all small and innocent?" Pinkie said pointing to the baby in photo.
Johann couldn't help but blush a bit."Yep that's me. I was maybe a year old when this picture was taken." As Johann looked at the photo he wore a faraway gaze, as if he had remembered something sad.
"You alright there sugarcube?” Applejack asked placing her hoof on his arm trying to comfort him.
Johann eyes widen as he realized that he zoned our."What? Oh no. yeah I'm fine just thinking is all." Johann leaned on wall opposite of the photo staring at it. "I just hoping my family isn't to worried about me is all. Mom can get very emotional when it comes to her kids.”
Everyone looked to Johann feeling sorry for him, they could only imagine what he must be going through. Fluttershy walked up to him and leaned her head against his leg to comfort him."I'm sure you'll see them again soon, but for now you should relax and enjoy your time here." She looked up to him with a warm smile
Johann expression changed to match the warm smile that Fluttershy had given him,and leaned down and placed a hand on her head and gently rubbed it. "Thanks Fluttershy. I needed that." He thanked her by returning the warm smile.
"You're very welcome Johann."slowly she placed a hoof on one side of his shoulder and moved in giving a hug. A gentle blush grew and Johann check as he slowly raised his arm to return the hug. The ponies around all smiled as they could feel the mood become lighter.
Slowly moving back and standing up once more Johann took a deep breath and exhaled. "Alright. Let's check out that gravity room." With a bit more pep in his step Johann lead the ponies down the hall until the reached a steel door. As the ponies gathered around the door and inspected it, Twilight suddenly reappeared in the living room with a large stack of books and scrolls, and saw that the rest of her friend were down the hall. Placing the books and scrolls down on the table in the middle of the room she walked toward the group.
"Now this here is the gravity room. Inside I can manipulate the gravity so that it can become stronger than Earth’s normal gravity." Johann started to explain as he watch Twilight rejoin the group from the back.
"But why would you want to somethin’ like that? I mean wouldn't that put more strain on ya body " applejack asked tilting her head scratching her chin.
"Yeah won't that make your body heavier or something?I'm no egghead but even I can understand that." Rainbow Dash question shrugging her shoulders.
"That's the point. See by making the gravity stronger it adds more weight to your body making it difficult to move." The ponies still couldn't understand why Johann would want something like that as they all titled their head in confusion. "However if you can manage to move around like you would with normal gravity then your body can get stronger. For example certain attributes can be increased such as strength, speed, endurance ect."
Rainbow Dash’s interest was peaked at she heard him list off the different attributes, one of them being speed that really caught her attention. "So by increasing the gravity your essentially making your body stronger for when it returns back to normal." Twilight easily deduced this clopping her hooves together.
Johann nodded making Twilight grin with pride that she was correct"Exactly. My dad and Vegeta used this method to get stronger, so I asked Bulma if she could make me one" Opening the door to a large room that was slightly large then the previous living room. In the center of the room was a large cylinder machine, around it was a large metal circle that was next to the machine engraved into the ground
"This part here is where I input the setting."Placing his hand on the machine and giving a good tap of his hand. "Now if you guys could stand inside the circles over there I'll get this baby running and set it to mmm...... three times normal earth gravity." He pointed to the engraved metal circles that were closest to the machine.The all nodded and made there way into the circle. Walking over the machine Johann began to type in some kind of code. A digital 1 appears on the screen.
*CLICK CLICK CLICK *
After pressing some more bottoms the digital 1 turned into a 3. "Alright we are now at 3 times normal earth gravity..or in this case 3 times normal Equestrian gravity." Turning to the ponies Johann smiled, raising his hand clenching and unclenching his hand repeatedly.
The girls look around lifting there hooves as if to expect something to happen. "Um Johann nothings happening, you sure that contraption of yours is working?" Applejack stated raising an eyebrow.
"Haha that cuz your still in the circle, remember? Fair warning once you step out you'll feel the effect right away."
Rainbow dash was the first to try. Raising her hoof out of the circle to have it immediately slam down to the ground with a loud thud. "Woah what the hay!?"Pulling her hoof back in, looking at it with surprise."It felt like I stuck my hoof under a strong waterfall,but with more force as me pressure."
"Yeah haha that's how it was for me when I started too." Johann watch as the ponies and spike all started to try and step out of the circle.
Each of them walked out and were slightly crouching down, as if trying to stand with large heavy objects on their backs. As Johann watch them all he notice that two of the six were having a very difficult time stay up. One being Fluttershy, which didn't surprise Johann. She seemed like the kind of pony who wouldn't be too strong. The second was the one that really caught him off guard. It was Rainbows Dash, she was red in the face trying to stay up. Without a second to spare, Johann ran to the machine and slammed his hand on a big red button labeled "IN CASE EMERGENCY".The two pegasi fell to the ground panting heavily,lying on the ground. Johann quickly ran over to the two on the floor and looked them over. "Are you two okay?" Johann looked back at the other four and spike seeing that they were all fine, but they were panting as hard as Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash.
Slowly the two pegasi got up, breathing much easier. "We're fine Johann, but that was way more intense then I thought." Rainbow said, still panting.
Twilight walked over to the two. "I don't understand. Why did they have it harder the then the rest of us?" Twilight asked placing a wing on Fluttershy to comfort her.
Johann slowly looked at Rainbow and Fluttershy, then back to the other four and spike. He repeated this process until a thought occurred. "I may have a theory on what it might be, but like I said it's just a theory."
"What is it Johann?" Twilight asked tilting her head along with the others.
"Well I haven't read the books on pony biology, but are pegasi skeletons similar to birds? Like lighter bones and hallow?"
"Yeah why?" Rainbow Dash said on behalf of her and Fluttershy,looking to him wondering what there biology has to do with anything.
"Well, your bones probably can't handle the stress that earth ponies and unicorns can. Since there bodies don't need to fly and there bones could he stronger.”
Twilight's eyes sparked at Johann almost like he had found a kin in knowledge. "Wow Johann I didn't expect you to pick up stuff like that so fast." Twilight said with impressed expression still on her face.
"So what your saying," Rainbow started. "Is that I can't try with you cuz I'm a pegasus?" Johann saw an expression on Rainbow’s face that he didn't think she could make. It was a look of defeat, and a lack of hope in her eyes. Tho Johann had barely know her for more than two days, he felt like she was the kind of person..ugh pony to never give up. This sight was unsettling for Johann.
"Well....um maybe?" Johann scratched the back of his head trying to think of a solution. Crossing his arms and thinking Johann thought of something. Looking back at the machine. "Well I did have the setting on level 3 so maybe that was to much for you."
Rainbow’s ears perked up as she looked up to him with new hope."Well can we try it please?" She slowly started moving closer to him.
"I'm not sure Rainbow. You could get-” before Johann could finish Rainbow flew up to his face
"Please Johann?" She said in a sweet cute voice as she made puppy dog eyes at him.
"Alright, fine! We'll give it a shot!! Just put the puppy dog eyes away!" Moving to the machine Johann motion the ponies to get back in the circle again. He heard Rainbow cheer, and what he thought was her throwing a hoof in the air in success.
"Well I'm glad about that. You guys want to try too?" Looking back he watch as the rest of them walked out of the circle and started to move around. Even Fluttershy was having it a bit easier.For the next hour the spent time walking around inside until they felt like they had enough. Walking out the room after shutting off the machine the ponies started to notice the difference in there weight.
"My word I feel light as a feather." Rarity started to prance about. "I feel as if I lost 10 pounds hehe, oh this may be a could way to trim down my figure." Everypony smiled agreeing.
"So Johann what is your limit so far on this thing? " Twilight asked pointing back to the room. "Since well you know you weren't having as much trouble earlier like the rest of us?" The rest of the ponies and spike leaned in closer to hear his response .
"Oh well let me think about it?" Scratching his head he took a minute to think. "Well my limit is 15, 20 if I lose the weighted training gear."
The girls mouth hung wide open. As they could only imagine what that could feel like.
"And what do you mean by weighted training gear?" Twilight asked curious by what he said.
"Oh well that's what these are." Johann tuged at the blue under shirt that was under his orange gi, along with the blue wrist bands and boots he wore. "These have a certain weight to them, my dad used the same method when he was my age to get stronger."
"Well how much do they way then?" Twilight asked .
"About 40 kilos each. Why"
Twilight's jaw dropped and her eyes were almost ready to burst out of her head"40 kilos!? But if all five of them way that much then your clothes all together weigh 200 kilos!!!!"
Johann simply nodded as if it was a casual as someone asking about what color socks he wore."Um twi we don't know what a kilo is. So mind telling us in English what it means. Cuz 200 pounds is a pretty big number.
"It's not 200 pound, Dash. 200 kilos is about 440.925 pounds!" She stated causing everyone head to snap back to Johann in awe.
"So that's why your clothes were so heavy, no wonder I couldn't lift them this morning." Twilight blurted out quickly covering her mouth.
"Why would you be trying to be lift his clothes off the floor sugarcube?" Applejack asked raising an eyebrow. The other stared at her, waiting for her response. Johann, however, was blushing and looking away, trying not to get involved.
Author's Note
Hey guys here's the next chapter. This is the last chapter re edit so next will be chapter 7 which will take a bit more time to Wright. Also sorry for the title I couldn't think of a good one XP
Tour of the town
After some well needed explaining by Twilight the girls started to relax and walked back to the living room. Rainbow saw a metal rack filled with some odd little boxes. "Hey, what are those things? More books or something?" Rainbow pointed to the metal rack.
Johann turned his head to see what she was pointing to. Smiling, Johann walked over to it and pulled out one of the little boxes. "This is called a DVD, not a book. And to be more accurate, it's a movie." Lifting DVD out for them to see.They all stared at the DVD as he so called. It had an image of what look like a skeleton what seemed to be like a dragon, spike had felt a shiver run down his spine at this image.
"Ju..rassic park?" Rainbow said trying to read the title tilting her head a bit. "Never heard of it. What's it about?"
Johann only grinned as he saw that he had the honor of introducing them to one of his favorite movies. "Tell you what... Once I get settled and get some food and drinks, how about we have a movie night and you can see what it's all about?"They all looked to each other and nodded.
"Speaking of which," Twilight started, “how about we give you a tour of Ponyville to get you more acquainted with the area?" Everyone else looked to him wanting to know his answer.
Johann smiled and nodded his head."Sure sound like fun. If I'm gonna be here I might as well know my way around this place."
"Great! Let's go!" Before Johann could react Rainbow started to push him out the door.
"Hey wait!" Before Johann could protest, he was pushed out of his house and towards Ponyville. 'How is she this strong?'
The group made their way into town with Johann in front due to Rainbow Dash pushing him. After a while, Rainbow stopped pushing and started trotting alongside him. The market in town was busy with ponies running their stands or buying items from themselves along with their families. As Johann walked around looking at the different stands, he couldn't help but notice that almost all the ponies were staring at him. The stares weren't of disgust or fear, they were more of curiosity."Maybe I should go back, a lot of the ponies seem to be staring,I don't think they're used to me yet" Johann stated,before the girls could protest, Johann was already turning back. But as he started to walk, he felt something tugging at his pant leg. Looking down he saw a familiar face. By his leg was a small unicorn filly with a pinkish-grey coat along with golden eyes and mane. It was little Dinky Do, the pony that Johann had saved from the timberwolves the day before. Her little tail swayed side to side as she held something with her magic. "Oh. Hello again." Johann was surprised to see Dinky again and kneeled down to her with a smile. "What’s that you got there?" He pointed to what look liked a piece of paper that was folded.
Little Dinky smiled at this question. "It’s for you. I made it in school today for arts and craft." She raised the paper higher up so that it was at chest level for him to take.
Johann slowly took the card in his hand and read the cover. It read "For my hero". Opening the card Johann saw a drawn picture of him standing in a heroic pose with his hands at his side while his chest was out, and tho he didn't have one at the time, little Dinky drew him wearing a red cape to complete the superhero look. Johann looked back to Dinky and saw a smile that only a pure hearted child could give."I love it. Thank you Dinky." Smiling back Johann raised his other hand to pet the top of her head, causing her giggle happily.
This sight alone made the other residents of the town smile and some let out a soft "Aww" at the sight while Derpy and her oldest daughter, Sparkler, watched with warm smiles."Oh, I have something else for you." Little Dinky smilies using her hoof to motion him closer .
Johann slowly leaned in." Okay and what is it you want to give me?" He asked wondering why he needed to move closer dow-*SMOOCH*
Johann’s face blushed bright crimson as Dinky gave him a small kiss on the cheek. she giggled again moving her hoof to his nose. "Boop. Hehe." She smiled and walked back to her mother and sister leaving a still blushing Johann rubbing his cheek.
"I think it's safe to say that your more than welcomed here, wouldn't you agree?" Twilight said with a cheeky grin. Johann looked around and see that the ponies all looked at him with warm smiles making him feel more welcomed. Johann smiles and continue to walk threw the town along with his friends.As Johann looked around the different stands,he saw that by the image of the items they sold are picture of what look like gold coins.
"Hey, Twilight? What do those pictures mean?" Johann pointed to the picture of the gold coins.
"Hmm?" Twilight turned to see what he was pointing to and immediately knew what he was talking about. "Oh! those are called bits. Those are what Equestrians use for currency."
Johann started to worry. "Oh boy, then we have a problem."
"What? Don't you have bits?"
"No, and I doubt they would take Zeni instead."
"What's a Zeni?" She asked with a tilted head
Johann pulled out a piece of paper that had number one with the word zeni on the corner.
"You use paper money where you're from?" She asked picking up the paper money with her magic and examining it closely.
"Yeah, we also use coins but they're made out of silver, not gold." A sense of worry could be heard in his voice now as he was not sure what to do..
"Oh, I see. Well, I'm not sure if they'll expect either." Looking back up to Johann she smiled. “If you want, I can give you so-” Before she could finish her sentence, Johann raised a hand for her to stop
"Sorry but I can't."
"Why not? She's only trying to help you.” Rainbow dashes asked a bit annoyed that he's turning her offer down so quickly.
"I get that really I do, but I don't expect a hand-, er, I mean hoof-out. It's complicated." Johann turned around and started to walk back.
"But why not Johann? We're friends after all. And friends help friend out when they need it.” Twilight persisted trying to stop Johann.
Johann sighed and turn back to them. "It's a matter of pride." He said with a stern look.
"Pride?" Rainbow asked
Nodding his head Johann looked to the group."Yes if there one thing a saiyan or half saiyan has, its pride. That's what's makes us strong and a proud race. Or at least that's what Vegeta says."
"O-oh I see well um.." Twilight tried to think of a response, but never before had she met anypony like this.
"Look it's not that bad I'll just go fishing or something it's not like I'm gonna starve " he waved his hand dismissively to show that he wasn't worried
Just then a mare pegasus with a yellow coat and red mane, walked up to Johann holding a basket of strawberries. "Here you go. A basket of sweet strawberries." The mare said pushing the basket into Johann hands with a smile
"Um thanks. I'm sorry but I don't have any money to pay for these.” Johann tried to give them back, but the mare raised a hoof to stop him.
"Take 'em. It's thanks for saving us from those nasty timber wolves. Oh and I'm Strawberry Sunrise by the way hehe." She smiled as she walked away not giving him a chance to speak, before head back to her stand.
As he was left holding the basket of strawberries another Pegasus with a yellow mane and grey coat hovered next to Johann carrying a box of muffins. It was Derpy Do. "And these are for saving Dinky." Derpy smiled stacking the box on top the basket and flying away.
A stallion with yellow coat and brown mane walked up to Johann and stacked another box on top of the box Derpy gave him. "And these are some glazes donuts, hope you like them. Oh and the names Donut Joe. Welcome to Ponyville."
Before Johann could thank the stallion for the donuts, he was swarmed by other ponies giving him gift of gratitude. Some gave him carrots, pies, and milk ect. Others came to thank Johann for saving them.
"Well, it's seem you won't need to worry about food for quite sometime now. And here I thought I was the generous one." Rarity said with a chuckle.
Soon Johann was carefully trying to balance the large amount of gifts.Twilight and Rarity used their magic to help Johann with carrying his gifts."Thanks girls." Johann smiles in relief. The group began to make their way back to Johann house carrying the large amount of gifts with them. After making it inside and placing everything away Johann notice the sun was going down."Wow it's already getting late guess we were pretty busy today right girls?" Johann remarked. They all nodded and started to yawn as they too notice the sun was going down.
"Well I reckon it's time we all should be getting home now. You have a mighty good night now Johann" Applejack yawned walking out the door.
"Yeah we'll see you tomorrow and maybe plan a welcome to ponyville/hero welcome party "Pinkie Pie said as she bounced out the door.
Johann waved them all goodbye as he closed the door and turned back to his living room. He saw the books on the table that Twilight had lent him in exchange for his books from his world. Walking up to the table and talking a seat on the couch he picked up a book labeled ‘Equestrian History’ on the front. "Well now's a good as time as ever to learn about this world I guess." Opening up the pages he started to read the first chapter on how this land came to be by the union of the three pony tribes.
The next morning, Twilight awoke from her sleep and started to get out of bed. She began to stretch her forelegs when she felt the ground shake for a moment. "Woah is this an earthquake!?" She leaned on the bed as the shaking stopped. The doors to her room slammed open as Spike came rushing in.
"Twilight! Twilight!" Spike yelled in a bit of hysteria.
"What's wrong spike is everything okay?" Twilight asked as Spike grabbed her leg and was shaking.
"Its Johann!" He yelled, a look of distress was clear on his face.
"What about Johann? Is he okay?" Eyes wide open and she feared for her new friend
"There are two of him!" Spike yelled, pointing out the window
Twilight shook her head in disbelief at what spike had told her."What that can't be?" Twilight ran to the window and saw over by the lake where Johann had set his house at. She scanned the area and saw that over the lake where two figure moving threw the air at high speeds. "There are two of them, and they're fighting each other!"
Twilight and Spike ran down the hallway, bursting threw the double door and outside making their way over to Johann's house. As Twilight and Spike ran over to the lake, the rest of her friends were on their way as well, most likely to investigate the earthquake origins as well.Soon they all gathered by the edge of the lake past Johann house and looked up to see the two figures duking it out.
"All right. Now who showed Johann the mirror pool? Pinkie? "Applejack turned her attention to Pinkie Pie who wore a confused look on her face.
"Don't look at me. Even if he found out, I wasn't the one who showed him. I learned my lesson from last time." She said holding her front hooves up trying to defend herself.
"Um, darling, does anypony else notice the other Johann's clothes?" Rarity asked pointing up at the pair while holding her hoof above her eyes to block the sunlight.
"Ugh! Rarity, now's not the time to be thinking about fashion." Dash grunted placing a hoof to her face.
"First of all darling,there is always time for fashion. And second, I mean look at how the other Johann's clothes are not the same as the other.” Rarity pointed to the Johann on the left.
Sure enough she was right. While the Johann on the right wore the orange gi and blue under shirt and belt, the other clothes where the opposite begin a blue gi and and orange under shirt with an orange belt.
"She's right. What the hay is going on here?” Applejack asked, shocked at the realisation.
In the air above, the two warriors fought with incredible speed, each throwing high speed punches at each other and blocking one another’s attack. The Orange gi Johann swung his leg from the side for a roundhouse kick, only to have it blocked and grabbed by the clone. Wrapping his hands around the ankle it began to spin Johann around, the clone tossed him down to the lake. Before he could hit the surface of yjt lake Johann quickly regained his balance and stopped mid air before research the water. No sooner did the clone dove down with an aerial kick aimed at his targets head. Johann waited until the last second before dodging out of the way causing the clone to splash into the lake causing a large wave of water to splash upwards. The ponies stood in awe watching the fight, tho they still didn't know what was going on they couldn't take there eyes off the battle for even a second as if their very lives depended on it.
Johann hovered over the water waiting for the clone to pop out. From the left a blast of energy shot out, nearly hitting its mark. Quickly Johann dodged the blast, and in the same instant the clone shot out the water right behind Johann. With a twist of its body the clone delivered a spin kick into Johann back, sending him flying towards the trees on the other side of the lake. Johann’s body was sent crashing through trees, kicking up clouds of dirt and dust while the sound of tree smashing to pieces and falling down could be hurd. The clone waited high above lake scanning the area where his opponent had crash,soon it saw Johann walking on the ground and out of the forest, brushing himself off from all the dust.
"Alright time bring this fight to an end!" Johann yelled flying up until he was leveled with the clone in the air. Johann extended his arms out so the base of his palms were touching"KA...ME...HA… ME..." Johann started to chant as he brought his palms to his side and blue light shined in between them.The clone soon mimicked him, but without speaking as his own orb of light began to glow in its its own palms .The girls only watched with bated breath as they waited to see what came next."HAAA!!!!" Thrusting his palms forward, Johann fired a blue stream of energy toward the clone, who in turn again copied Johann's action by sending its own stream of energy screaming towards him.The two blue beams collided with each other causing burst of wind that blowed furiously all around them. The wind howled causing the girls to be pushed back as the pressure got even more intense. Soon the beam of light began to to struggle,one pushing the other back and vise versa.
"Take this! HAAAAA!!!" Johann yelled at the top of his lungs as his beam doubled in size, pushing the back and into the clone. As the beam reach the clone, a large flash of light shined along with the sound of an explosion. Dust clouds blowed in the wind along with the blinding light. When the light soon began to faded everypony looked back to see the outcome. Johann was floating in the air, panting heavily. On the other side, the clone was covered in bruises and scrapes and just smiled back at Johann as tho it was satisfied with the outcome.Soon they flew closer to each other until the clone moved toward and phased into Johann’s body disappearing. Twilight couldn't believe her eyes. The clone just disappeared into Johann body like a phantom. "Oh, hey girls. How's it going down there?"Johann called out before flying down to Twilight and her friends.
"What the buck was all that?! You have a twin that just disappears into your body?!" Rainbow Dash yells.
"Twin?” Johann gave her a confused look before the realisation hits him. “Oh no, that wasn't a twin." Johann raises his hands to calm them down before he continues. "That was a clone that I made is all."
"A clone? Wait, you can make clones without magic?" Twilight asked tilting her head in confusion.
"Well in a sense I guess. It's called the multi-form technique. By splitting my energy in half, I can create a duplicate of myself with that energy. Now the clone doesn't have sentience aside from set commands that I give it."
"Command?" Twilight asked tilting her head and raising one of her eyebrows.
"Yes. See, before I create my clone I set a command and goal into it like what you saw just now? The command was to try and beat me by any means." Johann continues walking over to his house where a bottle of water and towel laid on a small table.
"But why would you want to fight yourself like that? Wouldn't both of you know how the other moves and what not?" Twilight asked still confused by this odd method.
"There are a two reason actually." Raising his hand he holds up two fingers.
Twilight raises her hoof to her chin as she was give both new information and a better look at johann’s battle stylen"I see well that does make sense. I did have one last question tho?"
"Shoot."
"Why did your clone have opposite colored clothes?" This question seemed to have been on the others mind as well as they call got closer to hear his answer.
Johann scratched the back of his head with a goofy smile on his face."Truth is I don't know myself. See from the moment I learned the move, every time I use it I make a cone with reverse colored clothes hahaha."
Everypony fell backwards with a thud with their legs in their twitching at the ridiculous answer, causing Johann to laugh at the silliness of it all.
"Well that was a disappointment." Rainbow Dash spoke in a deadpan tone as she blew her mane off her face. "Hey Johann I have a favor to ask you."
Johann turned to Dash with an eyebrow raised. "What's up RD?"
"I remember from those stories you talked about when you or your friend would....how did you put it?" Dash scratched her chin for a moment trying to remember what it was she wanted to ask. "Oh yeah when you guys would charge up your power!"
"Yeah what about it?" He asked folding his arm wondering why she brought it up.
"Can you show us your full power !!"
Johann closes his eye and placed his hand to his chin like Rainbow Dash did before. "See here's the thing. Unless you can sense energy all you'll see is my aura and maybe see the water ripple. Since you can't sense energy, you won't grasp the weight of it. You get what I'm saying? "
Twilight stepped in with a quill and parchment paper. “Johann you never did explain what that means or what ki is”
Johann titlited his to one side as he folded his arms.”well to put it simply ki is the energy that flows thru every living thing. And for anyone to use it you they must be in tune with mind,body and soul.” looking at the ponies faces seeing that they were in deep fashion. “And the uses for ki amazing. You can use it to detect other ki,or gage there power thru it.”
Rainbow Dash simply hung her head in disappointment. "So unless we can sense energy we won't know how strong are?"
The sight alone made Johann feel a tinge of guilt and a slight tightness in his chest.But in a moment he had an idea that might work. “Well there is one way,but I can't guarantee it will work. Wait here." And with that Johann ran into his house leaving the girl to wonder what he had in mind.
After five minutes of waiting, he walked back out of his house with a large box labeled 'scouter prototype'. "Oooh what's in the box!?" Pinke asked as she bounced around him while he made his way to the group.
"Easy there, Pinke. You'll see." Soon Johann reaches the rest of the girls and set the box down and began to pull some strange things out.One of them was a metal orb with a small cylinder sticking out with a long white cord at the end of it. The other was a flat rectangle object.
"What's all this for darling?" Rarity asked as he craned her neck over his shoulder to get a better look.
"This, my little pony, is my personal scouter prototype."
"Wait. A scouter? Weren't those the things the Saiyans wore to measure another’s power level?" Twilight chimed in .
"Yes, but you see, this one here is much better. See, the ones that the Saiyans and members in Frieza's army used were portable,meaning unless they were the latest models they could only read a certain level before they would blow up."
"Okay so what's makes this one better than those from before?" Twilight continues with her question.
"Well, this bad boy here is a lot stronger than those old fossils. Plus, since it will be hooked up to my laptop here," He reached for the rectangle object and opened it up and started to press some small squares with a clicking noise. In a moment the top half lit up and word started to scroll across it. "It can handle high power levels. Now all I have to do is plug the camera in." Grabbing the cord from the metal orb,he plugged it into a slot on the side of his laptop. “And we'll get an accurate measurement of my power level.”
"So we are really gonna see you at full power!?" Rainbow Dash yelled in excitement as she galloped in place.
"Sure will. Now all I need you girls to do in press this space bar once I'm ready." Johann pointed to a button on his laptop,that was longer than the rest of the others.
Dash’s eye widen at the familiar object. "Hey I remember that!" She blurted out pointing to the bean in Johann hand. "You gave me one of those when I was in the hospital."
Johann simply smiled. "Yes, this is called a senzu bean. It heals all wounds and restores your stamina after you eat it." Flicking the bean into the air and shortly after catching it in his mouth, he began to chew. After a few seconds of chewing he swallowed and his muscles soon flex as of they were about to burst. "Alright! Back at full power. Let's do this." Wasting no time he flew out towards the middle of the lake and turned to the mares. "Your girls ready!?"
The ponies nodded as Twilight pressed the spacebar causing the screen to light up. The small camera in front of the laptop started to scan around till it locked onto Johann. Twilight looked up from the screen. “Okay are you ready?!"
Nodding his head Johann struck a stance in mid air. Bending his knees while his arms flexed to his sides."HAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!" Johann body was soon enveloped in what looked like white fire that flowed around his body.Soon the monitor on the laptop started to display number that started to climb upwords. The girls watches as the number went from 2 to 100 and kept rising. "AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!" As Johann voice growed from 100 to 1000. Soon a white aura surrounds his body,while the water parted in waves.
As ponies watch their jaws drop,except for Rainbow Dash who's eyes widen in excitement. The earth around then began to shake. Twilight looked to the laptop and started to shout out the numbers as they rise." 1500......2500......4000!!!" She was left in awe.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!" As his voice became higher the water around his body began to part and the white flame around his body started to grow larger and thicker. Each and every muscle in his body flexed bulging out,while powerful winds emitted from the force of his energy building.
"Twilight what's it at now?!" Dash shouted as she and everyone else covered their ears.
Twilight peeked over to the screen as she kept her hooves on her ears. "Its at 9000!!!"
In less then a second Johann stopped and slowly started to pant heavily while his arms fell to his side,he stated to take deeper breaths trying to catch his breath. "So what's my score!?" He looked over to Twilight and her friends seeing them covering their ears still. 'Whoops. Might have overdone it.’ He thought hovering over to them and landing next to Twilight and Dash. "Sorry about that. I might have gone overboard." He said softly placing a hand on their withers. Twilight and Dash both jolted as they were started. Soon the other moves there hooves away from their ears and looked at him.
"Those are some mighty strong lungs you got there, partner. "Applejack said rubbing her ear as if she was trying to get the scream out that was still in her memory.
Rarity started to straighten her main from the earlier wind force. "I must say that I've never heard anypony, or any creature for that matter, scream so intently."
Hearing that, Johann’s cheeks turned a slight shade of red, raising his hand behind his head in a sheepish gesture. "Sorry about that. So Twilight what was my score?"
It took her a moment to register his questions before she shook her head and looked back to the monitor. "It says your power level is 9200. I pretty sure that must be strong and impressive for you kind am I right." Still smiling she looked up to Johann to that instead of a look of indifference, or rather disappointment. "Johann what's wrong?"
Johann snapped out of his daze and looked to see a look of worry on Twilight face. "Oh uh nothing. I was just thinking is all." He looked to the monitor with his score still flashing. ‘So I'm about as strong as dad was when he fought Vegeta and Nappa when they first came to Earth.’ Letting out a heavy sigh, he walked back to his house .
"Where are you going?” Dash questioned as she walked in front of him to keep him from moving forward.
"Back to my house to train. That’s the life of a Saiyan for ya, hehe." He let out a week attempt of a laugh as Dash stared at him.
Dash shook her head and smiled. "Sorry but that can wait, because you're coming with me and the girls on field trip." She quickly moved around him and pushed her head into his lower back forcing him in the direction opposite from his house.
"Well I guess I don't have a say in matter now do I?" He let out a small chuckle, as the blue pegasus continues to push him forward.
"Nope. Now come on I want to get to Cloudsdale before we miss the Wonderbolts." Dash started to push harder forcing him to pick up the pace.
"Cloudsdale? Where's that?"
"Uh it's in the clouds. Duh. Now come on and follow me, the rest of the girls will catch up." Dash spread her wings and took off. Flying high up in less the minute, Dash turned back to Johann motioning with her hoof to fallow.
"Alright, alright. I'm going. geez." Rolling his eye Johann pushed off the ground and followed behind Dash.
Flying up above the clouds, Johann and Dash zipped through the air feeling the cool breeze brush against their faces. Dash would often show off by doing loops and flips in the air, all while wearing a grin on her face when she turned back to him. Johann, being one with a competitive streak the same as her, mimicked her actions with a bit more speed and fluidity
"Hehe so it looks like you can do some aerial tricks too. Not bad but I bet you can't do a Sonic Rainboom." She grinned holding her head high as she sliced a cloud with her wings for fun.
Johann cocked his head with a brow raised ."Sonic Rainboom? What's that?"
"Ha I'll show you! Just watch and learn, and try not to be pass out from my sheer awesomeness!" With that Dash started to fly straight up,flying faster as she climbs high into the air.
From below Johann watched Dash fly higher and higher. Until finally she made a dive at an diagonal angle. As he watch her dive he noticed that her body was beginning to pick up incredible speed and velocity. Soon her body began to spark with bits of electricity along her body.
*BOOOOOOOM*
That was the sound Johann heard as Dash speed doubles and a rainbow ring spreads across the cloud filled sky. Dash streaks across the sky leaving a rainbow trail behind her. Johann's jaw dropped at the amazing site of it all. Soon Rainbow Dash made way down to him and snickered as he lifted her hoof to close his mouth. "That's a sonic rainboom, in case you hadn't figured it out."
Johann shook his head to clear his mind before looking back to Dash. "Well I'll admit that was something alright. "He said trying to hide his impressed voice,only to cause Dash to let out a chuckle. "Now as for trying to copy that. I think besides the whole rainbow color trail is probably the only thing I can't copy."
"Oh please as if." Rainbow Dash waved her hoof dismissively as she didn't believe he could even come close to pulling something similar off. "Come on you can't really believe you can do something as awesome as that can you?"
Johann grinned while holding his hands behind him to appear more confident. "I'm pretty sure I can." He said in a teasing tone.
"Prove it."
Johann shrugged his shoulder and pushed off straight up as fast as he could, reaching the height that dash had been at in less then a seconds.
"He's really gonna and try and copy me ?" Dash folded her front hooves together as she watched him reach a height slightly higher than where she started.
In an instant she watched as he started to dive in a diagonal angle similar to her, and began to pick up speed. Dash chuckled at how his speed was on its own fast,but not as fast as it needs to be to pull of a sonic boom. But before she could think another thought, Johann's body began to glow a bright red and his speed had tripled, now it was her turn for her jaw to drop.
*BOOOOOOOM*
The sound of the sonic boom echoes threw the sky as Johann emitted a red ring of light while he soars through the sky leaving a red trail behind him. Dash watched as Johann stared to do loops after loop while maintaining the same speed. His body made quick turns in the air while still leaving the red vapor trail where he went. She watched as Johann made a quick stop in front of her, and saw him pointing a finger over his shoulder.
"Hows that for awesomeness? "
Rainbow Dash tilted her head to the left to look past him only to see that the red trial he left behind read”TOLD YA" in cursive
"You.... How did?... WHAT!?" Dash could only look at him with a shocked impression on her face.
Johann placed a finger to her chin and gently closes it. "Told you I could do it. Now come on I think I saw that Cloudsdale from up there. Johann suddenly flew off, leaving Dash dumbfounded by what had happened.
Truth under the moon lite night

Truth under the moon lite night
High in the sky Johann and Rainbow Dash flew above the clouds making there way to a beautiful town amongst the clouds. Johann found the town to be absolutely amazing, Its design looked that to a creek style city with columns made if clouds and waterfalls that poured from the side in a way one could mistake for the home of the Greek gods of Olympus. Johann was amazed by this new location and took it all in before feeling his shoulder being tapped. Turning his head to his left was Rainbow Dash with and almost pouty look on her muzzle."Okay were here now you tell me how you did that red thing from earlier!!" She demanded hooves crossed as she flew.
Johann only smirked as he turned his body and folded his arms behind his head as if he was floating on water. "Sorry Dash but I can't tell you, I mean where would the fun be if i told you all of my moves and secrets?" He joked as winked at her with his tongue sticking out as he picked up speed heading toward the town.
Dash faced scrunched up as she was left unanswered and bolted to catch up with Johann. Soon they were hovered above the town and made there descent. Dash gently landed on the cloud cover ground with easy. Her mind quickly realized she forgot one important detail to tell her new friend. Quickly she turned to Johann and held out a hoof "wait Johann I forgot to mention that only pegasie can walk on...." But it was to late Johann made his way down and fell threw the clouds with a loud ‘YEP’
In a moment she jumped into the air as something pulled on her tail. Quickly turning in midair as she saw Johann poking his head out of the cloud floor with a grin on his face before ducking down. Dash looked around her tuning her body trying to see where he would pop out. In the next second she burst out laughing as something was tickling her underbelly, looking down she saw the unmistakable hand and arms of johanns tickling her from below. "Hehe Hey knock that off hahahahaha!!!" She tried to speak threw her laughs.
"Aww what's the matter cute little Dash is ticklish? " he said with a smug look as he continued to tickle her underbelly while slowly rising out of the clouds.
"First of all I'm not cute!!" Dash quickly darts to the left and takes a defensive stance. "Second if you try that again I swear to you that you'll be coughing up cloud dust for a week!"
Johann holds his hand up to show that he will stop. "Okay okay point taken. So how come you wanted to show me this places?"
Straightening herself out Dash regains her composure and clears her throats. "I wanted to introduce you to my wonderbolt teammates. The last time they saw you was when you first appeared in equestria. And when you made them all fall into the lake." She raised an eyebrow to show her announce at that last bit.
“Pfft not my fault they were slow" rising bother arms behind his head as she floated toward the town without a care.
“SLOW !!!!” Dash's faces began to burn with a bright red of rage as she had just heard him mock her teammates. “The wonderbolts are the fastest flying pegasus to ever exist in all of equestria!!!” she began to shot dagger at Johann as he continued to float nonchalantly.
“But are they the fastest begins in the universe?” he asked looking to Dash while holding up a finger.
“W-well uhh.” Dash had never ever considered the idea of life beyond equestria and now here she is wondering if there could be someone faster than even her. “well no but still calling my teammates slow is where I draw the line!!” she held her chest out in a scene to intimidation.
This action cause Johann to hold a hand to his mouth as he tried to suppress a laugh. Here before him is a blue pegasus that is half his size puffing out her chest in what one can only describe as adorable. However he could tell that she felt offended by his words and that she felt strongly about her teammates pride. Taking a deep breath and calming down Johann looked to Dash and bowed. “Sorry Dash I didn't mean to disrespect your team, or you."
Dash had lowered her chest down and nodded her head to show that he was forgive. “Alright I'll let you off this time, but don't ever diss my team again. Got it.” she flew in close making sure that she was at eye level with him. Johann nodded in agreement.”good well now that we have that settled let's head into town Spitfire and the rest of the team should be here today for training.”
===============================
Tall hoops floated in the air while swinging pillars moves side to side, and a runway close by. This was the wonderbolt training grounds,a floating island close to cloudsdale.
“Spitfire" Dash called out landing a foot away as she trots up to her wonderbolt capital.
“Hey crash glad to see your recovered" turning her head to a light blue pegasus stallion with navy blue mane. “Soarin keep an eye on the rookies for me!!!” The stallions have a salute with his wing as monitored the pegasi flying threw the training courses.
Dash gave off a sheepish grins “ Oh well yeah you did,but I wanted to introduce to a new friend of mine.”
“Oh really? Well where is this new friend of yours?” Spitfire asked looking behind Dash to see if anypony was there.
“He should be coming around any second now.” Dash turned her back to where she expected him to arrive from.
“Oh ho he? Did Crash find a stallion she like?” Spitfire teased poking Dash in the side with her wing.
“What?! N-no! Just promise not to freak out when you see him"
“Come on Crash I've seen my fair share of weird stuff how bad can he b…..” before Spitfire could finish Johann came in to view and slowly made his way down until his feet touched the concrete runway. Spitfire’s eye shot open as the creature from a few night ago strolled up to her and Dash, all while wearing a smile on his face.
Johann walked up till he was about a foot apart from the two pegasi. “Hi there names Johann pleasure to meet ya.” he bowed his head and looked at the stunned pony.
Spitfire looked back to Dash who simply made a gesture to take a breath and calm down. “Uh hi. I'm Spitfire” extending her wing out to Johann as she introduce herself.
“So I wanted to introduce to Johann so that way I can both inform you that the creature is not a threat, and to have him meet the team and apologize” Dash explained as she jabbed Johann side.
“Oh right!! I'm sorry for causing you and your team so much trouble on our first encounter I was confused at the time.” Johann bowed again to show his sincerity.
“Oh well that fine. I'm just glad your not some evil monster bent on destroying Equestria.”
“Hahahaha no way I wouldn't dream of doing something that evil.” Johann laughed since this was the opposite reason for his existence.
===============================
Later on Twilight and the rest of the elements joined Dash and Johann as they chatted with the Wonderbolts. Twilight preformed the cloud walking spell to see weather or not magic could be used on him. To everypony's delight the spell was effective as Johann bounced along the clouds.
“Holy cow this is fun.” he jeered as he bounced up and down. “ And these clouds are so soft I could sleep on one for the rest of my life.” leaning his body against the soft yet firm clouds Johann gazed up at the sky online to see that the sun was on the verge of going down. Johann straighten himself up and turned to Twilight. “Um hey Twilight just out of curiosity what's tonight's lunar cycle?”
Twilight placed a hoof to her chin as she thought about it carefully. “ I'm pretty sure that tonight will be a full moon. Why do you ask?”
Johann face began to sweat as his eyes darted back and forth.”Oh no reason I was just curious is all.” His eye kept darting around until they landed on Rainbow Dash. And as if a bolt of lightning struck his brain Johann had just the plan he needed. “Hey Dash!!!”
Dash turned to Johann who had called out to her.” Yeah what's up dude?”
“How does a no hold bar race sound.”
Dash’s eyes glint in her eye at this sudden challenge,stepping forward to Johann with her wings spread out. “name the place and I'll beat you there”
“Back to Ponyville!!” Johann said while getting into a runner stance on the runway .
Dash soon stood next to Johann assuming the same pose.“Your on!!!”
The two races took their positions as Pinkie bounces in front them with a Checkered Flag in her hoof. “ Are you guys ready?!” pinkie held the flag up looking at Dash and Johann who nodded. “On your mark…..Get set………..Go!!” the flag and dropped and Dash and Johann pushes off the ground with tremendous force as they bolted into the sky.
Dash had gained the lead as she flew straight forward leaving a small vapor trail behind her as she flew. Looking back she wanted to see how far behind Johann was,but to her surprise Johann wasn't in sight. No sooner that she looked back did a tapping feeling came from her other side. Turning her head back she was surprised to see him keeping up with her and with little effort. Soon a grin began to grow on her face,never before had anypony been able to give her an actual challenge and when somepony did she managed to push herself to make sure that it would never happen again. Rather then being upset that Johann was keeping up with her,Dash felt joy in knowing that there is something that can give her the thrill and challenge that she wanted. “This….is….so…..AWESOME"
Johann smiled brightly at her enthusiasm” Can you fly faster then this Rainbow?”
Dash gave a determine grin.”YOU BET!” In mer moments there bodies began to pick up speed as they street across the sky.
===============================
And not a minute later Johann arrived alongside her painting heavily. “you….win….dash.” Johann was out of breath as Dash continued to Dash in midair. “I'm gonna head inside go. Catch your tomorrow.” He said as she opened the door to his house.
“Alright catch your later. And hey that was a good race…...that I won ha ha!!” Dash continued to gloat as Johann was still catching his breath as he enter his house.
Johann closed the door behind him and stopped breathing heavily and let out a sigh of relief as he straightened himself. “Phew made it home and before the moon could even come out.” Quickly he made his way to each of the curtains and closed them all shut making sure that there was no way for the moon light to get in. Once they were all clothed he proceeded to make his way toward his bedroom and prepared for bed. Open one of the dresser drawers he pulled out a white taken top and pajama pants and slipped off his orange gi and weighted training clothes and into his night attire. Moving to his bed he carefully lift the covers and slips underneath,once he was nice and settled he clapped three times causing the light to turn off. Closing the shades on the window of his room making it pitch black now and Johann closed his eyes,before he could drift off into sleep he reflects on the last two days events. His morning started off a bit awkward at first,what with Twilight and all. Then setting up his home new place, to being welcomed by the town, and meeting the wonderbolts and apologize for before. However he did feel a tinge of guilt for tricking his friends, but he felt it was necessary in order to avoid a horrible outcome. And the wave of guilt only grew large knowing that he had left out important bit of information regarding his tail. “If they knew about my tail and what it is really meant for they would freak out and never look at me the same.” Turning to his side Johann closed his eyes and soon allows his mind to drift as he fades away into slumber.
=================================
Johann found himself surrounded in a white void with seemingly no end and no sound. Not a thing was in sight as he turned his head looking around him, the void continued in every direction he looked.
“Hello?” he called out only to have his voice echoed back to him. The echo soon fade away leaving the void silent once more.
“How pathetic of you.” a deep gruff voice came from behind Johann causing him to turn back. There behind him was a tall man with green skin wearing a turban and cloak staring down at him.”All that training to make your a warrior and you fail miserably.”
‘Piccolo I'm trying really I am" Johann could feel himself cowering as he stepped back only to feel himself bump into someone.
“I thought you could have been better than I was when I was your age,but it seems your just as your yet another disappointment.” turning his head he saw a another man equally as tall as Johann with short black spiky hair wearing the same orange and blue gi that he wore.
“B-big brother I'm sorry I just can't yet. Gohan I don't know what I'm doing wrong.” he watch his brother glaring at him as she tries to move to his left only to feel a painful force on his side knocking him to the ground.
“Your a pathetic excuse for a saiyan warrior and the very idea that you share the same bloodline with my superior race is sickening!!” Slowly turning his body while on the floor Johann could see the one who knocked him down.
Standing there arm folded with long spiked hair wearing a saiyan battle suit stood the Prince of the Saiyans .” Vegeta I've been pushing myself none stop to get strong, but I just can't do it yet.” still cowering in fear Johann started to crawl backwards as the three slowly made their way towards. As he continued to crawl backwards Johann once again finds his back against someone else.
Look up he could see a man staring down at him with a look of indifference. With black spiky hair wearing the same gi as himself Johann found himself staring at his beloved father. “D-dad please help I don't know what to.” he asked turn himself around and clutching at his father shirt.”I've pushed myself and try so hard and I still can't. PLEASE TELL ME WHAT I HAVE TO DO GOKU!?”
Goku remained silent as she watched his son groveling for help. Placing a hand on his shoulder and looking him in the eyes he start to speak “I had such high hopes for you Johann,but it seems I was wrong to believe in your potential.” Johann eyes widen as he felt these words sink into his heart. In the next instance his father grip tighten on his shoulder as he was lifted up and tossed away onto ground. Soon the four started to line up and extend their arms out as yellow orbs of light began to glow.
“Now die “ the four said in unison as four blast of energy came soaring at Johann who closed his eyes and waited for the end. But as second go by nothing ever came, daring to look and see what has happened.
Upon opening his eyes he saw that the balls of energy had stopped dead in their tracks and disappeared in a blue mist, the same happened to the warrior that had attacked him. Soon the once blank white void began to disappear and turn into a vibrant blue with speck of white almost as if he were staring at the night sky. “Thou seems to have some most unpleasant dreams young saiyan.”A female voice came from above
Turning his upward Johann saw a pony making its way down to him from a crescent moon. She had dark blue furr and possessed wings and a horn with a starry mane that flowed elegantly even though there was no breeze to do so,to which Johann made the assumption that she is an Alicorn much like Twilight. Had it not been for the books he read that he borrowed from Twilight he wouldn't have known who this Alicorn was,It was the princess of the night Luna. Facing her Johann gave a slight bow before addressing her. “Princess Luna I presume ?”
“Thou are correct in thy deduction. And you are the warriors from a far off place correct? “ Luna asked touching down on the ground.
“Um yeah but how did you know that?”Johann was a bit surprised to see that Princess Luna knew him,even though he had only been in equestria for 3 days.
“My sister beloved ex student Twilight Sparkle had sent us an extremely detailed letter of your existence” her tone of voice sounded of a tinge of regret.
Johann winces now understanding what she meant and regret giving Twilight so much information. “Eh he he sorry that my bad.” he smiled weakly as he scratched the back of his head.
“Fret not young warriors we found thyn origins to be rather interesting to say the least.” Luna slowly made her way closer to Johann.”Now then you must be wondering why we the princess of the night have arrived?” Johann simply nodded. “We are not only the ruler of the night, we also rule over the dream realm as well. And whenever ever a pony or in this case human is in need of help or guidance.”
Johann felt as if there was no point in denying that he was in need of help,but could this pony really help him he wondered. “Well as a saiyan my pride would usually keep me from asking other for help,but I think I can set that aside for this one time.”
Luna nodded as her horn glows and a pair of couches appeared. She mentioned him to sit down,to which he obliged taking his seat.”So Johann who were those who attacked you in your dream?”
Exhaling he looked to the lunar princess “ those were my mentor and friend/family”
“I see,but to what reason would they attack you and day such terrible things?”
Johann hung his head as he must confess the truth. “it's because I lack the ability to transform into a super saiyan.”
Luna could only raise a brow at this before speaking. “Ah yes Twilight sparkle as mentioned this in her report. And this is a problem?”
“For me it is. You see as a saiyan the power to transform into a super saiyan is like a right of passage. All the other saiyans on earth are able to achieve this feat.” Johann only glitched his fist feeling frustrated.” But for me no matter how hard I train and try as I may I'm still incapable of achieving my goal.”
Standing up from her own seat Luna moves over to Johann and sits next to him.”Perhaps thou are going about this all wrong. Tell me to what reason would bring about this super saiyan form in which your speak?”
“Well according to my father it is sometimes threw the pain of lost or an unforgivable rage,or when your mind body and soul need it.”
“So tell me my friend have you ever experienced the pain of lost or unforgivable rage?” Luna questioned. Johann shook his head.”Have you been a conflict that would require you to transform?” again he shook his head.
“Actually since the day of my birth Earth has been at peace since.” The moment the words left his lips Johann was in shock,true to his words the Earth hadn't been in any really danger like it once had been before.
Luna gave a kind smile.”Then perhaps that's is the reason. As you said the only other reason would be that your mind,body and soul hasn't had the need for it. And considering that with in the time you spent in Equestria you show that your more then strong enough to handle whatever comes your way so far. If that incident with the Timberwolves is anything to go by of course”
Johann was left in deep thought by Luna’s words. For the first time he finally had a possible reason why he hasn't been able to turn super saiyan. And it was true that maybe he was as strong as he needed to be in this new world.
“Now before we leave would thou care to explain the reasons you would rush home when informed that a full moon would be present tonight?” Luna asked with a raised brow.
Johann could feel his heart sink into his stomach by her question. “H-how did…?”
“Twilight sent a recent let stating your look of concern you had when she informed you about a full moon. Now we will ask again, what troubles you about the full moon?”
Letting out a defeated sigh Johann gently pulled his tail from around his waist.”It's because of this your majesty.” Luna only tilted her head in confusion “You see Luna aside from the legendary transformation of super saiyan there is one other form we can take,but this form is a primal one that I could never hope to control.”
“And pray tell what is this form you speak so fearfully of?”
Sighing and leaning back into the coach he spoke”The form is know as a great ape. During a full moon should a saiyan with a tale gaze up at the moon we undergo a primal transformation that turns us into a giant ape like monster. For a small percentage some can control this form,however I do not fall within that percentage and thus I lose all control and start to destroy everything and everyone around me weather there friend or foe.”
“I assume that you had already transferred into this creature?” look inquired as she places a hoof on his shoulder to comfort him.
Nodding Johann look up to the ceiling exhaling “When I was 10 years old I was training with my big brother and Mr.Piccolo. One night I was going about my normal training routine when I remember looking up at the full moon for the first time and the next thing I know I black out and wake up to my brother and Mr.Piccolo beaten and bloody. They told me what happened and that they had to hold me off.”
“I'm sorry to hear that,but does thou think you should keep that a secret from your friends, they may under your predicament and try to help you?”
“Truth is Luna I'm scared they won't, that they'll think of me as a monster and want to push me away. I just can't let that happen,besides the full moon only happens once a month (no period joke guys) so I just need to be indoors next time when it happens.”tears slowly began to roll down his face Johann face as he clenched his fist.
“Johann you shouldn't have to worry about something as trivial as that,believe me when I say I know from experience that Twilight and her friends can both help you and still be your friend.”wrapping her wing around Johann’s shoulder Luna embraced the grieving saiyan in a warm hug.
Wiping his tears away Johann looked up to Luna hopefully “You think so?” Luna nodded her head as she hopped off the coach.
“Believe me young warrior thou aren't as alone as you would think,now we must be off.” as Luna began to walk off into the distance she turned her head back to Johann “By the way you should receive a letter from our sister in the morning for a summons to the capital, and also do try not to panic when you wake up I'm sure your friend wouldn't want a rude awakening “
Johann opened his mouth to speak but a blinding light appeared before him. Once the light had fadden his eyes open to see that he was in his room and the sunlight was slowly beaming thru his window shades.”What did se mean by not panic and waking a friend? As if to answer his questions Johann felt a bit of wait on his chest,looking down he saw a blue bundle nestled against him. ‘What is it with ponies where I sleep?’
Author's Note
Just a taste of what's to come
Chapter 8(sneak peak)
Finding himself with a pony lying on top of his chest Johann was at a loss for words as he tried to inspect who it was that snuck into his house and into his room lying down on his chest.
Careful not to wake up the sleeping pony Johann craned his neck up trying to get a better look. As he made this motion the small bundle started to stir. In another moment something soft and feathery slapped against his face ‘Wings?’. Carefully moving his head to the left Johann saw a Rainbow mane that was attached to the blue wings. ‘Dash?’
Rainbow Dash gently stirred in her sleep spreading her wings in different directions until finally folded to her sides. Once her wings had stop moving she began to nuzzles against Johann chest and pulling the rest of her limbs to her chest with a content smile on her face.
As all this happens Johann face burned a bright red as Dash's action were both rather embarrassing and adorable to see.’ she's almost like a cat in a way’ he thought as he watch dash curl up with her tail wrap around the front of her legs.
Laying his head back Johann tired to think of a way to get out of this without a red face of embarrassment. ‘well I at least know what Luna meant by waking a friend.’ letting out a sigh of defeat he rested his head down on the pillow once more. Until a thought came poking at the back of his mind. ‘wait didn't Luna also say something about receiving a letter? But who would bring the letter?’
Talking a moment to think Johann tried to make sense of how the letter would arrive and by which means. ‘well it's from the Princess of this country so it would have to be by somepony of equal worth. ‘ As Johann mind slowly beat away the drowsiness that was sleep away as his mind started to fire up. ‘But the only pony I can think of that could do that would be Twili~.....’
Johann eyes widen to the sizes of dinner plates as he looked out the window. Even though the blinds were closed he could barely make out the sun slowly rising in the horizon. ‘Oh My Gami-kai. The only one who fits that bill is Twilight. And if Dash here’ Johann quickly looked down at the sleeping pegasus on his chest ‘is any indication that pony don't bother knocking to be let in, then she’ll come trotting in here and see this!’
Feeling a few droplets of sweat slide down his forehead the memory of his first night spent in the castle of friendship flashes in Johann mind. ‘Oh no’ Quickly looking down again Johann began to weigh his options. ‘Okay option one wake Dash up and experience a few moments of embarrassment. And option two do nothing and let Twilight walk in and see this, and if when the other found out what happened like last then then it would be the gossip of the town……….yeah option one sounds better’
Slowly he began to try and awaken the sleeping pony on his chest ”Dash” he whispered softly “Dash wake up” he carefully placed his hand on her to stir her from her sleep only to have the cyan pony grab it and nuzzles into it ‘Okay 1 that's adorable, and 2 Damn it!’ He tried to pull his hand back only for Dash to squeeze tighter.
‘Great so not only do I not know when Twilight might show up,but now I have this to deal with.’
Closing his eyes and letting the world fade away Johann began to calm his mind. Soon he could see the outline of all the living things around him including Rainbow Dash, her ki energy was a similar color to her coat as was all the ponies Johann had met before. ‘Now then which way was Twilight’s castle again?’ turning his head to the right he could sense a powerful amount of ki energy ‘ ah there she is now I just need to focus and…”
Soon he begun to focus intently on Twilight's energy to the point where the ki formed her out line. Twilight's energy showed that she was moving a great deal back and forth in what he presumed to be her room. ‘She must have just gotten the letter. And judging by the distance between our homes I'd say I got a good ten minutes to wake Dash up’
With his other hand he slowly began to gently tap Rainbow Dash cheek” Hey wake up Dash, Twilight is on her way soon” he continued to lightly tap her cheek while trying to free his other.
“mmhehsbkf” Dash muttered at she bat Johann hand away freeing his other one. But slowly her eyes began to open. “mmmm wha?”
“Good morning sleeping beauty, mind telling me why your in not bed?” He asked drumming his finger on his chest waiting for an answer.
Rainbow Dash face burned a bright red as she quickly sat herself up right while her wing extend with a loud *pomf* “Well you see I used so much of my strength yesterday during our race that I was so beat that I wouldn't be able to fly to my house.”
Brow raises Johann crossed his arms as he listened as she continued. “So I thought that maybe I could crash at your place and get some z's, so I came inside and tried to sleep on your couch but it wasn't that comfortable.”
Nodding his head Johann leaned in.”So you decide to sleep on my bed instead?”
Dash's eyes darted back and forth”Well yeah. I mean we pegasie prefer to sleep on comfy things like cloudes, and well….”
“You decided to take a nape on my chest?” He asked with a smug face.
“Well it's not my fault your chest is really comfy.” she admitted with a blush as she poked his chest.
Johann only smiles as he raises his hands to pet the cyan pony head making her blush harder.”Well I can't be mad with a compliment like that now can I?”
As they share this tender moment the sound of a quill scratching on paper could be heard. Both Johann and Dash head snap to the door to see Twilight peeking thru a door and she looked down at the paper she was writing on.
Soon she looked up to see that they were looking at her.”Oh sorry don't mind me I'll just” she lightly closed the door shut.
Both Dash and Johann face were burning as red as magma as they scrambled out of the bed to catch up to Twilight.
===================================
Cantorlot, Danger Of The Night
Something has gone wrong. We don't seem to have an archived copy of that chapter. Well Needed R&R(re edited)
Johann found himself floating in a dark void,his body weightless,his mind a blank. “wh-where am I?” Slowly his mind began to fire up remembering the events that took place before he passed out. Frantically he tried to reposition his body,but to no avail. He looked all around him trying to find some clue as to where he could be.
“Finally woken up eh?” A voice echoed all around him.
“Who's there? Where am i?” He looked in all directions trying to find the source of the voice.
“Relax” the echoing voice said."Your safe and will wake up soon Johann. Listen the journey ahead is going to be a tough one and filled with many trails you'll have to overcome.” the voice sounded as if he was moving around as it words echoed without any sign of stopping. “But I know you'll overcome them,just remember what's important to you,and to remember who you are?”
“Your not making any sense,and who are you? And how do you know my name?” To Johann the voice did seem familiar,but he couldn't put a face to it.
“Don't worry in time we will talk again. But until then take care of yourself and be safe.” Soon a bright blinding light pierced the darkness and was pulling him close,his eye shut due to the blinding light.
================================
As his open Johann soon felt that he was laying atop of a soft bed,blinking his eyes slowly adjusted to see clearly. He was in a white room, it looked familiar in some way. Within a few more moments he realized that he was in a hospital room, one that was similar to the one he snuck into to give Rainbow Dash a senzu bean. At that moment his mind quickly sprang to life and he quickly and up right, as the memory of him looking at the moon flooded back.”Guys!!” As he jolted up he felt a searing pain arose his body. Looking down he notice that he was covered in bandages that ran along his chest,and arms.
Before long the sounds of footsteps could be heard,followed by the sound of slamming opens. Before he could turn his head he was imdeity swarmed by all his pastel colored friends as the group hugged him. While for him it was a touching moment, he did still have injuries that if touch could. “YEOW!!!” he yelled as one of the ponies hoof press against his ribs,causing the ponies quickly back off.
The first to speak was Applejack as she removed her hat and held to her chest. “We thought we lost you there for a moment sugarcube. What with you passing out after the fight an al”.
“Um..I'm sorry about your tail.” Fluttershy added as she stepped up next. “It must be hard to go thru with having to have your tail cut off.”She looked down in shame.
Johann smiled warmly as she raises his hand to pet the yellow mare.“Fluttershy its fine, besides it was a pain to have to worry about anyways. But now I don't need to freak out anymore.” Fluttershy could only smile and move back alongside her friends.
“You've been unconscious for a week there sugarcube,doctors said you were lucky to be alive” Applejack informed hold her hat to her chest.
Before he knew it however his vision was blurred by a pink hail storm of questions “OMC. Last night was crazy!! First I thought you were on fire and had a bucket of water ready. But then you went in super duper fast and hit that monster. You were flying so fast and shined like a fire. Then you collapse all tired and exhausted. At first, we were all “hooray he did it” but then the Ursa popped out and attacked, and we were all. “Oh noo!!!”. And then you turned into a giant ape and fighting the Ursa and won and then…” Pinkie Pie was cut short as a purple aura surrounded her body and pulled her back.
Slowly tilting left Johann saw Twilight standing behind Pinkie with her horn glowing. “Pinkie he was there.” Gently setting the pink hyper pony Twilight turned her attention to Johann. “We were all worried about you when you passed out after we had to remove your tail, were so sorry.”
Johann felt a heavy stone on his heart as he was reminded that had lied to them before about his tail. They were nothing but kind and trusting of him,and he withdrew information that could have affected them. “No I'm the who should be sorry” the ponies looked to him confused all except Applejack, “I should have told you guys about my tail and its real purpose,but I didn't cuz I was afraid of what you may all think of me once you saw what I could become. But I guess now you guys must really hate me now huh?”
Before anyone could respond Johann was met with a punch to the head,causing him to yelp in pain as he held his head. Looking back he saw a very angered Rainbow Dash hovering at eye level.”What do you take us for!?” her voice ringing in his ears from her loud volume. “We wouldn't hate you for something like that!!”. This left Johann speechless as this wasn't the reaction he'd expect. Dash’s expression softened as she landed back on the ground.“We've all had our own secret trusts me,and some have come to back to bite us in the flank.” She turned to her friends who all nodded in confirmation. “Yeah, we might have been thrown off by the whole giant ape monster thing,but we knew that you had your reasons for keeping it a secret,heck I would.”
“We may have only known each other for less than a week,but we still would consider you a good friend Johann.” Twilight added standing next to Dash. “And you risked your life to help us, so don't think for a second we would turn our backs on you cause of a small mistake.”
His eyes watered as he wipes them. “Thank you guys. And I promise from now on there will be no more secrets, I'm an open book.” as the ponies all smiled and let's sigh of relief escape their mothers Johann notice that one pony was a bit flustered. “Rarity what's wrong? You've been quite this whole time.”
Her cheeks soon flushing red which was easily seen on her white coat. “Well you darling there's a bit of a problem that must be a dressed, no pun intended.” Johann titled his head confused as to what she could mean. “ Well have you um..noticed anything about yourself since you woken up?”
Johann found this to be an odd question. “Well I'm covered in bandages,which I can only image is due to my battle with the Ursa Major?”
Now all the ponies had a light blush on their muzzles.”Yes well dear that's the only thing your covered in.”
Still blushing Twilight cleared her throat. “Well it seems that the clothes you had on before you transformed were torn to shreds, and even the ones I took off you got crushed and destroyed.”
Then a new thought came to mind to Johann one that made his heart skip a beat. “Does that mean you guys saw me buck naked even the Princesses?” His answer came as the all the ponies face burned brighter. “Oh my God just kill me now!!” He fell back covering his face with the a pillow.
“Well don’t you have clothes in your capsule home Johann?” Twilight asked keep her eyes off him due to her still red cheeks.
“I'm not sure,true be told I've rarely ever used that thing, so I'm not sure if I have any clothes there.” Johann held his head in embarrassment as he looked around for anything to cover himself in.”Better questions is how am I going to get there without clothes now?”
“Well I could teleport you to your house if that helps?” Twilight offered.
“Actually that a excellent plan there Twi,think you can get me into my house and not at the outside door?”
“Positive!! Just hold still and I'll send you there right away, and we'll meet up with you as soon as possible.” her horn lit up and enveloped Johann body in a purple hue before he disappeared leaving the sheets behind.
==================================
In a flash of bright purple Johann found himself standing in his living room with no clothes on. He quickly made his way down the hall and into his room. His room was simple much like the house he calls home it is a round. To his left was his full size bed,to his right was his dresser,to which he hopped he had some kind of clothing,preferably underwear. The dresser had three drawers,opening the first Johann was delighted to see that it had boxers and socks”Well it's better than beginning naked.”He quickly slipping into a pair of boxers and socks.
Opening the second draw were three items, the first was a brown cloth bag tied with a bit of rope. “No way can it really? “ undoing the rope Johann reaches his hand inside and grabbed the content with in. Opening his hand were 4 green beans. “Score senzu beans!!” He joyfully takes one into his mouth and chew the bean and swallow the bean and instantly feels his wounds heal and his strength coming back.”I've must've had these stored away for emergency. Good thing too cuz I was running low on them.”
Look back into the drawer he picked up a small capsule with the label “FN” in bold print on the label. “No way, so that's where you been? I'll have to make sure to let you out later.” he place the capsule atop the dresser.
Inside the book was a photo of him with her and her daughter wearing formal clothes. “Oh I remember this,Bulma tried to set me on a date with Bulla for prom. Vegeta almost threaten to rip my dragon balls” He shudders at the memory.
With he moved to his last and final drawer only to frown as the contents inside was nothing more than a few circuit boards and tools. “Damn no other clothes” He slammed the drawer close “I've got to have something to wear?”
He paced around his room thinking hard. After a full minute one idea came to mind that made his face cringe. “Oh please anything but that,I'd rather be naked than that.” He walked his way to his bed and lowered onto his knees and looked under his bed. Under the bed was a box that made him frown. “Shit!!”
(Left off here)
================================
Twilight and her friends reached Johann’s house and proceed to knock on the door's. They waited a minute before knocking again.“Johann you in there?”
“Go away. I'm staying in here forever!!” Johann yelled from inside his house.
“Why did you not find any clothes?” Twilight asked.
“No I found some,but i would rather die than be seen in it!” He screamed
“Oh come now darling it can't that bad.” Rarity added. “I'm sure that you look fine in it.”
The sound of the door unlocking could be heard as Johann stepped out wearing yellow pants, a pink button up shirt and a face redder than crimson.
“BWAHAHAHA!!!” Dash fell to the ground laughing and rolling around on her back. While the others were snickering into their hooves,except Rarity who fainted.
“Look I only have this outfit because Vegeta gave it to me as gift, which he said was a saiyan rite of passage.” He face palmed.
“I-I think they look nice on you” Fluttershy added with a light blush.
“Fluttershy your pink and yellow too,you have a bias.” He walked up to the yellow pegasus and patted her head making a red blush spread across her muzzle.
He turned around to walk back into his house to hear Dash laughing harder at the words on his back “BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.” making him slam his door.”Awe come on Bad Man. Take a joke!!”
Dash walk up to the door and opens it and walks in followed by the other with Twilight using her magic to carry Rarity inside and onto his couch. “By the way I was wondering if you could tell us about that technique you used before your ahem…..transformation.” Twilight asked.
“Oh you mean the kaioken?” All the ponies nodded. “Well to put it simply it's an energy multiplier,my speed, strength, senses and other traits I would use in battle. What's more is that it has different levels that can add even more power,however there is a cost. See the kaioken does increase my power,but at the same time if I'm not careful it can have a backlash effect.”
“Is that reason you were so weakened by it after you used it?” Dash asked.
He nodded his head as he continued. “See if your not careful you can do some harm to your body when using it. For example before the fight I could only go up to times three and would have been a bit sore afterwards, but given the circumstances that might I had to push beyond my limit. Going times ten was as far as, I could go without killing myself. But now I think I can up to times six now thanks to my zenkai boost.”
Twilight and the others all titled their head.”Zenkai boost? “
“Right forgot to mention this. So when a saiyan is near death and survives there power double. So after they fight with the Ursa I'm willing to bet that my body can now handle a higher level kaioken.”
“That's amazing so you're even stronger than before?” Johann nodded,Twilight began summoning a quill and paper as she writes the new information down.
“Well it's too bad that kaiowhatever can't double your coolness in those clothes bahahaha!!!!”Dash laughs.
==================================
He soon made his way to the park where it seems no pony was near or around. Finding a nice patch of grass under a tree that provided a plentiful amount of shade. Gently lowering his body to the ground he laid on his back with his arms behind his head and close his eyes.
The wind blew gently causing the grass to bend and flow,the sun shined through the tree branches allowing rays of sunlight to fall upon his body. However, all was not as it seemed as a pair of eyes watched him from a nearby Bush. The figure who the eyes belonged to started to move closer and closer,moving from bush to bush. Soon the figure’s shadow loomed over Johann,slowly and quietly it leaned.
Before it could get any close its met with a finger to it’s muzzle. “Can I help you kid?” Johann asked opening one of his eyes to see a small orange filly,with magenta mane and tail. He slowly sat up and watch the filly backs up,sitting up Johann noticed that the filly was a pegasus from the tiny wings on her back. The filly just stood there staring at him speechless less. “Um...kid? Hello?” He slowly faced his hand in front of her face.
The orange filly quickly shook her side to side to clear her mind.”Umm...sorry but are you the hero that saved Dinky from the Timberwolves?”
Johann cocked his head back a bit confused by this random question. “I am. Did you need something?”
She shuffled her hooves seeming like she did have a question in mind. “C-can you teach my how to fly like you!?” she yelled causing him to flinch from her volume.
“Like me?” she nodded with hope in her eyes. “Um first mind if I ask who you are?”
“Oh I'm sorry, I'm scootaloo I'm….”
“Rainbow Dash number one fan right? He finished.
Her eyes widen. “How did you know that?"
“Dash told me about you on the train ride Canterlot. She said that you run her fanclub too.”
“Yep I sure do, so anyway can you teach me how to fly like you. I saw you at the lake a few days ago fighting yourself which was weird hehe.” she chuckled.
Johann crossed his legs and looked at the small filly. “But can't you fly on your own,I mean you are a pegasus?”
The smile on her face slowly faded away. She turned her body to show off her small wings. “The doctors said that as I get older that my wings should grow too and that I'll probably fly then. But fillies my age can hover and fly a little,and even though I'm not begging tease anymore I still can't stand it.” She looked up to Johann with hope in her eyes. “And then I saw you at the lake flying through the air without wings and thought that maybe, you can teach me how to do that.”
This was unexpected for him and tugged a few of his heart strings. The idea of teaching someone else how to fly never crossed his mind,and in a way he saw a bit of himself in her. Just like he can't turn super saiyan,she can’t fly, in a way they are alike. “Well it's not that simple kid,you see I use ki and takes time to control and master.”
“I can learn!!”
“It takes time and dedication?”
“I'm the most focus there is, and patient.”She said bouncing up and down with lots energy.
He ran his hand thru his hair knowing that this filly won’t give up till she gets an answer. “Okay tell you what, if you can pass an exercise that will determine whether you have potential to use your ki then I'll teach you. Okay?”
“YESSS!!!” Scootaloo jumped up and down with excitement. “Okay when can we start!!” she asked spun around
“Okay first you need to calm down otherwise you'll never be able to do the exercise.” The little filly stopped on a dime and sat down and waited quietly. “Okay that's better. First you need to calm your mind and breath in.” The two started to do as he said,both taking deep breaths and calming down. “Now then silence out the word and forces on your ownself.”
“But how do you..?” She was stopped as he raised his hand up to tell her to stay quiet.
“Just forces on your own heart beat and let the world around you flow over like a river over stone. “
She closed her eyes and slowly tried to silence around her. Slowly the world around her started to fade until her body felt weightless and all she could hear was her own heart beat.
“Good seems like there's hope for you. Now I want you to look deep within yourself and tell me what you feel.”
Her mind and body were quite as she looked deep within herself. “Well I feel a sort of warmth.”
“Good now where does it feel like it strongest?”
“It feels as if it's at my center.”
“That's your energy or ki. All ki energy comes from the center of our body,and can consider as our life flame. Now then Scootaloo if you want to pass the exercise I want you to picture that warm feeling as a small fire burning at your center.”
She closed her eyes harder trying to image the warmth in her body into a flame. As the seconds went by her image comes to view as small fire burns brightly. “H-hey I think I got it.”
“Good now if you can hold that image for ten minutes then you pass.” Johann could see as her energy started to flux and flow and grow. For him the fact she was able to see and feel her ki was a good sign.
Nine whole minutes Scootaloo was able to hold the image, with only forty more seconds left she was almost done until she breathe out heavy and felt the image fade.”NOOO!!!” She yelled slamming the ground on the verge of tears. “I almost had it!!” She wept feeling her chance slip away.
“Well then we'll have to work on that during your training now won't we?” He said with a calm tone in his voice.
Scootaloo snapped her head up looking at him with a bewildered expression. “B-but I didn't last the whole ten minutes. Why?”
“Well you did manage to both feel and see your own ki,which was already enough to set you on the right path to using your ki. So I'm willing to let the forty seconds slide this time.” He winked at her with a grin.
In those words alone all the hope Scootaloo had considered lost came flooding back as she jumped at him embracing him in a hug making him step back.”THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!.”
He smiled as he placed his hand on her head and gently patted it.”From now on I'm your master and you'll be my pupil, how’s that?”
He smiled with a determined look.” great I won’t let you down.”
“I know you won't.” Johann shielded his eyes as he tried to determine how much daylight they have left. “Now then we've got a good afternoon to train before the sun goes down. So how about we run that can you exercise again?”
“Okay no problem,and this time I'll get it for sure!!”
For the rest of the day the two trained, after 4 attempts Scootaloo managed to finally achieve the ten-minute mark of her exercise. She would jump for joy hadn't not been for Johann now telling her that she now had to do one for fifteen minutes next. “But why!?” she whined. “I just completed the whole ten minutes?”
He chucked a bit.”Because the longer you can hold that image the faster you'll be able to use your ki and keep it under control.”
Scootaloo would continue these exercises till the sun slowly sets across the mountain in the horizon. “Looks like it's getting late kid. Tell you what since tomorrow is Saturday we can start training at 10am?”
Scootaloo stretches her body out as she yawns and nods. “Yeah I think that sounds like a good plan.” she yawned as she headed off.
Johann made his way back to his own house with the day still fresh in his mind. He'd never thought he would one day end up teaching someone for a change in his life. But when he saw her eyes so full if hope how could just turn her away. As he laid on his bed and started to drift off to sleep a thought came to mind. ‘Will I be able to help her?”

Chpater 10
The air was icy cold at 9 am in Ponyville,not a creature was stirring not even a..”Alright training day!!!! “(….okay never mind),as one orange pegasus filly ran threw the streets leading to the lake and to the home of the local alien and her new mentor.
She ran past all the homes while everypony was still asleep,not even the vendors had a woke. But little Scootaloo was wide awake ready to take the next step in her path to learning how to fly.
Soon the young filly reaches her destination as she stops in front of the door of her mentors house. She slowly reaches to knock on the door until a thought stopped her dead in her tracks. ‘Would he get mad because I came an hour earlier? I mean he did say 10am?’ The little filly pulled her hoof back with her ears flattened as she steps away to find a spot to wait for the remaining hour.
As she moved away from the dome houses she noticed something hovering above the lake. Moving closer to the water edge she squint her eyes to gain a better look, she saw that it been Johann that was hovering over the lake. His legs were folded with both hand together, his eyes were shut as he remained in a meditation poses. She watches as his body remained still and quiet, she couldn't even see his chest moving to breath. She watches in awe as a few butterflies fluttered around his body,some of which landed atop his head,and one on his nose.
The quiet was broken when he inhaled causing the butterflies to move away, “A bit early wouldn't you say Scootaloo?” he asked opening one eye with a smirk.
“H-how did you know it was me though?” she asked as Johann hovered his way from the center towards her.
“I knew it was you because of your ki energy.”
“You can?”Her jaw wide.
With a chuckle he reached down and gently closed it. “ Yes Scootaloo I can. You see everything has its own unique energy,from the grass blowing in the wind, to the trees basking in the sun ray's. And ponies are no exception, however I notice that you guys energy is colored based on either your fur or mane color.” Scootaloo eyes widen in amazement.
“So does that mean I'll be able to do the same with our training?!” she asked bouncing in place with excitement.
Nodding his head Johann petted the young filly’s head. “With enough hard work you will. Now today we'll focus on making your ki grow and on distribution through the body. You ready my young pupil?”
“YOU BET!!!!”
=================================
“So Scootaloo you ready to get back to training or did you want to call it quits for today?” he asked looking down at the tired filly.
“N-no I can keep going.” Quickly she jumped to her hooves with a determine look in her eyes.” I like a runaway train I won't stop got anyth~” Her sentence what cut off by the sound of a loud grow. The orange filly faced burned with embarrassment as she gripped her stomach as another growl was made.
Johann burst out laughing hold his side.”Ha ha-ha, sounds like this runaway trains need fuel.” He wiped a tear away as he caught his breath. “Come on I'll cook us something to eat.”
“You sure I wouldn't want to impose on you?” She asked grabbing her stomach as another growl escaped.
“As your mentor it is my responsibility to make sure to feed my pupil,now come on I'll make us lunch.” turning on his heel he led the way to his house
As the made their way in Scootaloo took in the design of the odd dome shaped house. Walking inside she gazed around his leaving room,from the two long couches to the brick fireplace.
Johann made his way into the kitchen opening the fridge and looking at the contents inside.’hmm not much left in here, but I can definitely make a vegetable stir-fry.’ Pulling out the ingredients that he needs, he placed all the vegetables into the sink and started to rinse the off. “Lunch will take a while, so feel free to relax and catch your breath.”
“Thanks, hey can I ask you something?” Scootaloo asked as she hopped on the couch and rested her front hooves on the top looking at Johann.
“Shoot” He replied as he stared to dice and chop up the vegetables.
“Why is your house shaped like this.” She gestures to the building by pointing her left house around the house”
Setting the chopped vegetables into a pan he looked up at the filly and smiled.” That a good question. See the house is designed like this to stand up against the weather.” This caused Scootaloo to tilt her head in confusion.
“Let me explain. Thanks to the dome shape it is able to fight against nature weather. For example, if it rains or there's a flood the water easily flows over and around the house with little resistance, unlike a square house which can sometimes be pushed back. The same goes for the strong winds, this house is aerodynamic.”
“Wow that so cool! But wait when did you build anyway? Cuz when me and the girls were here two days before you got here there was no sign of construction?”
“Well that's the beauty of Capsule Corp products, there already pre made or built and stored into capsules ready to use.”
“Capsule what's that?.” The young pony asked still confused.
“Here I'll show you.” Turning off the fire and setting the food on two separate plates one set in front of the filly and one for himself. Johann pulled out his capsule container and opened it to reveal the cylinder shape item.
“These are capsules, you can store pretty much anything you want inside of these bad boys, and one then contained this house. All do is grab one press the button at the top,then throw it and the item inside materialize.”
Scootaloo had a face of amazement on her face as she looked at the small items. “ That so cool, hey do you think you pull something out?”
“ Heh heh maybe later,but for now let's dig into the food before it gets cold okay?”
“Yeah okay.” wielding the fork in her hooves(still have no idea how they do that) she stabbed the cut vegetables and lifted the food to her mouth and started to eat. Her tail swishes back and forth as she hums in delight as continues to eat up the remains pieces.
As she finished her plate letting out a satisfied sigh she noticed that Johann wasn't focused on his meal,but rather lost in thought.” Uh Johann you okay?”
Johann shook his head, and he snapped from his thoughts.” Y-yeah just thinking.”
“What about?” she pressed on.
“Well I hate to say it but I'm gonna be running out of food soon,and I still haven't found a job that I could do here.”
“Oh really I'm sorry.” Her ears folded back as she felt a bit guilty after eating some of his food.
Johann waved it off and smiled.”Don’t be it was bound to happen anyway,so now all I'll have to do is find some work now. Problem is I've never had a job before and thus no work experience.”
Scootaloo started to scratch her chin as she tried to think of a solution for her mentor,it was the least she could do to help him. After a few minutes she had an idea. “I GOT IT” she yelled making Johann jump as he was startled. “What about beginning an odd jobber?”
“An odd jobber? What that?.”
“It’s simple, an odd jobber is somepony who goes around helping other with whatever they need in exchange for bits. Ponies who don't have their cutie marks yet always did that till they found their special talent.”
“Huh so basically, I would go around helping ponies for money? Seems like a good way to make a living. But how will I get the word out,I'm not gonna just yell out I'm an odd jobber all day.”
Scratching her chin once more Scootaloo tries to think of a solution once more. Until finally it hits her.”The foal free press!!”
Johann raised his brow.” The what now?”
“Foal free press, it's the newspaper that we have here in Ponyville. All we have to do is put an add in the paper saying your an odd jobber and that if anypony needs you to just asking you for help.”
“Sounds like a good idea,but do you think they'll let me put an add in the news paper?”
“Sure, they will cause our school makes them, and the one both in charge and who delivers them this year is Dinky Do. And I'm sure she'll say yes if it's for you since you saved her.”
“Huh wow what are the odds. Well I've got no other idea, so I say let's go with that. Thanks, Scots.” He playfully ruffled her mane.
She playfully bats away his hands and chuckles.” Heh no problem,and don't worry me and the girls will take care of the add.” As she looked around the room Scootaloo noticed that the sun was starting to set out the window. “Aw man it's gotten late. I need to head home.”
Looking out the window Johann could see the sun was indeed setting over the mountain. “ Guess we were busy today huh? Well since its getting late how about I walk you home,don’t want your folks to get worried.”Johann slowly got up to his feet and made his way to the door.
Scootaloo eyes shrank as she got up quickly and moved in front of him. “No!! I-i mean no thanks I'm a big filly I can walk home myself eh heh.”
“You sure it's no trouble at all.”
“Positive I promise. I'm just a bit upset that I forgot my scooter back home,and since I can't fly yet, it will take a while.”
Johann placed his hand under his chin as he gave this some thought before snapping his fingers.” Wait I got something that you might like. Wait outside I'll be back in a minute.” With that Johann made his way down the hall and into his room. Walking over to his dresser he picked up the capsule labeled “FN”.
Scootaloo waited outside of Johann’s as asked until he finally opened the door and walked to her holding one of his capsule. “ What's that for?” she asked.
Johann merely grinned. “You'll see.” And with a loud ‘CLICK’ he pushed the button at the top and tossed it a few feet away.
With a loud ‘BOOM’ and a cloud of smoke Scootaloo watched as the dust blew away revealing a “Yellow cloud?” She asked tilting her head.
Johann simply chucked at the filly confusion.”Not just any yellow cloud but a nimbus cloud.” he slowly walked up to the yellow cloud and gently patted it. “Hey their nimbus,it’s been a while hasn't it?”
Scootaloo watched as the cloud started to move around Johann's body lightly pressing against him making his chuckle. “ It can move all on its own?” she asked her mouth wide open.
“Yep this is a nimbus cloud that my family has had for years. It's helped everyone in my family fly when they couldn't themselves. First my dad then my brother gohan,and goten. Then me and now.” He pointed to her causing the cloud to zip over to her.” You”
“M-me? Really are you sure?” she asked as she lightly petted the cloud.
“Yep,nimbus here will be your ride anywhere you want to go until you can learn how to fly on your own. All you have to do is hop on and tell him where you want to go. And if you ever need him just call on him, and he'll be there in a flash.”
Scootaloo slowly got on top of the cloud and lightly patted it as she watches it float up. “I-i don't know what to say. Thanks you sensei.”
She smiled as she pointed to she Johann making the nimbus fly up to eye level with him, she then quickly embraced him in warm hug which he happily returned. “Any time kid.” stepping back he gave a quick smile. “Now, you should get home before your parents start to worry.”
The little filly nodded and taped on the nimbus.”Okay nimbus that way.” She pointed making the cloud zooms off. “WAHOO!!!” She yelled as she zoomed off.”
“Heh nimbus is gonna be busy for sure.” Turning back Johann made his way into the house and locked the door as he made his way to bed and turned out the light and drifted off to sleep.
==================================
Johann quickly pushed his face into his pillow trying to ignore his alarm. ‘Gah! Why did I set that alarm to wake me up so early?!’ He thought as extended his left arm trying to reach his nightstand to turn off his alarm.
“BEEP BEEP BEEP” The alarm rang changing its sound every so often.
‘Damn when did my alarm become so kami damn annoying?!’ He wondered until his hand came down on something soft and fluffy.
“CLICK CLICK” Was the last thing he heard as the room went silent once more.
‘Ah much better. Funny I don't remember my alarm clock being so fluffy……..wait a second I broke my alarm first night here? So then what is making that noise then?’ He asked himself as he stated to rub his hand on top of the soft object.
“He he he that tickles” Came a cheery voice.
Johann eyes immediately shot up so fast that it almost sounded like glass broke.
===================================
"Aaaaaaaaahhhhhhh !!!!!!"
“Sounds like Pinkie done it again.” Twilight yawned putting a pair of ear plugs on and laid her head back on her pillow.
====================================
“PINKIE PIE HOW DID YOU GET IN HERE!!!” Johann bellowed staring at the pink party pone.”I know I locked the door last night.”
“Hehe silly Johnny there's no place I can’t get to when I want somthing hehe.” She added with a warm smile.
‘Okay note to self keep an eye on this crazy mare’ Rubbing his temple trying to calm down Johann took a deep breath and exhaled. “Okay Pinkie that doesn't explain why your in my room.” ‘Seriously what is it with these ponies and coming my room when I'm sleeping?’
Pinkie sat down on her haunches as she stuck her hoof deep into her main and began to pull out random item, from rubber chicken to a cupcake that she quickly ate ‘That can’t be healthy and how long was that in there?’ Next was a kitchen sink,until finally she pulled out a newspaper and held in front of him.’A newspaper?’ Taking the paper from the pink introduced he saw at the front page was an add in bold letter.
Too tired to get things done,or looking to get some extra help to with your business/chores? Well look no further then Johann the odd jobber. No task to big,no job to small. No distance to great,Johann the odd jobber is here. Simply send a request with details of what you need to my mailbox at my house in front of the lake and I'll be there to help.Prices negotiable.
After rereading the add Johann raised a eyebrow.’Dang Scootaloo worked fast,though I fear the wording might be a bit of trouble for future requests.’ He turned his attention back at the pink pony sitting at the foot of his bed. “So I take it that you have a job the needs to be done then Pinkie?”
Pinke rapidly nodded her head up and down “Yepper doodles! See I have this really super extra duper surprise party planned for somepony,but wouldn't you know it I'm all out of my special vanilla extract. And I really need it for the cake I'm making. And then I saw morning paper and thought ‘Hey now there an idea’ so I came here to ask for your help.” She finished with a smile and a small sequel.
Gently rubbing his eyes as he started to wake up Johann took another deep breath. “Well I guess since the paper said I would then it looks like I can't deny your request. But how come you didn't ask friends first,I'm sure they would have helped?”
“Well Dashi is at wonderbolts practice. Rarity is making a dress for Sapphire Shore. Fluttershy to busy with Harry the bare since he broke his leg ouch. Applejack is getting ready for apple bucking season. And Twilight is doing another book sort cation.
“Poor spike.” The two said in unison as they hang their head for their fallen comrade.
“So that leaves me with you silly Billy. I can't go alone and your ad did say no task too big. And this is a really big task!”
‘I should probably have told Scootaloo to have been careful with the wording of the add, oh well what's done is done.’ Take a moment to clear his throat he turned to the pink mare. “Okay pinkie I'll do my best to help. So where is it that this special vanilla extract come from anyway.”
Pinkie opened her mouth to speak but quickly closed it and looked around the room and made her wait to the window and shut the curtain and locked the doors. “Okay this is a trade secret among earth pony bakers,and only trustworthiest non earth pony bakers ever know about.” She watched as Johann crossed his legs and was giving her his full attention. “Well long before the pony tribes were untied Chancellor Pudding had a secret that no other pony tribe had.” She paused for dramatic effect. “A secret mountain.” She finished with jazz hooves.
Johann slumped forward before picking himself up.” uh Pinkie is that it? A secret mountain? What's so speci-”
Johann was cut off as Pinkie put a hoof to his lips to silence him.”This isn't just any mountain silly Johnny,this mountain is magical. You see Chancellor Pudding had gathered rare ingredients and hid them on different parts of the mountain. And this his surprise the mountain could grow all the ingredients in and instant and year round. Meaning he could have all the baking ingredients a baker could ask for anytime.”
As Pinkie moved her hoof away from his lips Johann spoke. “And I'm guessing that's where we need to go to get your special vanilla extract?” Pinkie confirmed with a rapid head shake. “Okay so how long would it take us to get to this secret mountain?” He asked getting to his feet already fully clothes in his pink and yellow attire.
“3 days giver of take he he” She giggled
“Wait but you said you had a special party to throw today. How will we get there in back that much time.”
Pinkie just giggles as she pats the saiyan shoulder. “Don’t worry I've got this”
Pinkie got of the bed and made her to you tapping on your screen. “Hi there readers! Would you mind scrolling down, so we can get to our destination faster pwetty pwease.”
“Pinke who are--
====================================
“-talking to?” As Johann finished his sentence he found both him and Pinkie at the foot of a gigantic mountain. Johann rabidly looked around in a state of confusion as he tried to grasp the situation. “HOW?!” He yelled holding his head for fear it might explode with all the questions flowing through his mind.
“Hehe thanks readers I'll see you later.”
Pinke trotted back over to the Saiyan “Come on silly we have a long way to get to the vanilla plant before the party tonight.
Shake his head realizing that to question Pinkie Pie's attics would to be like questioning life itself. “Okay Pinkie where is this plant located again?”
Pinkie pointed her hoof upward. “At the very tippy top of the mountain.”
Looking up Johann could see that this mountain could very easily be 10 times the sizes of the Ursa Major he fought not long ago.
Cracking his neck and stretching Johann slowly prepared himself as he was about to take flight. “No problem Pinkie I'll be back before you can say pineapples.” slowly he rose off the ground making his way upwards.
“Wait you can't-” Pinkie yelled before watching as Johann body suddenly was sent into the mountain wall and crashed down into the ground leaving a human shaped hole in the ground. “fly up there. Oh boy.” Trotting over to the hole Pinkie looked down inside. “Are you okay down there johnny?! Also pineapple.” She asked holding a hoof to her ear.
“FINLAND!!!” He yelled in a drained voice. Soon his arm shakily rose to grip the entrance to the hole as he pulled himself up.”Alright I'll bite. What just happened?” He asked pulling himself out.
“Sorry I forgot to mention that the mountain is enchanted so that pegasi can't fly up it,guess that applies to you silly.” Chuckling sheepishly.
Johann pointed upward with one finger.“So what you’re now saying is that we have to go up to the top of this mountain by hoof/foot?”
Pinkie nodded once more as she trotted pass him to begin their journey up the mountain. “Yepper doodles silly, now come on we have to get there before the party tonight.”
‘Well this is turning out to be a fine morning so far’ He thought bitterly as he follows the enthusiastic party pony.
====================================
‘Three hour. Three hours of walking up steepest mountain and cliffs without flying…… why me?’Johann wined internally as he gripped the side of mountain as she slowly shimmied his way to the next ledge. While Pinkie bounced along the trail ahead of him with a happy expression on her face. ‘How does she have this much energy? Either I'm getting soft,or pinkie is stronger than she lets on?’
“Come on slowpoke we'll never make it in time if you keep internally monologuing?!” she shouted as she bounced in place watching him.
Johann jaw dropped as he shook his head.’ How did she know?!” Johann quickly flung himself over to the edge and ran to catch up to Pinkie. “Pinkie do me a favor and stay out of my head please.”
Giggling into her hoof he smiled up at him. “No promises. Now come on we're almost there, if we're lucky the guardian might be asleep already.”
“Guardian? What guardian?” He cocked his head.
“Well duh the one that protects the vanilla plant,all the ingredients have a guardian.” She mentioned matter-of-factly tone.
Johann pinched the bridge of his nose as he inhales. “Okay Pinkie what is it that's at the top of this mountain?”
“A turtle-dove.” She stated.”
“A turtle-dove? Really?”
“Really really.”
‘Huh well then I guess I was worried about nothing.’ He let out sigh of relief. “Well then let's get going if we're going to get to the top.” Johann said running past Pinkie.
“Wow he's sure enthusiastic all of a sudden.”
===================================
“Oh goodie we’re almost there. All way have to do now is go through this tunnel, and we'll reach the vanilla plant patch in no time.” Pinkie bounced in place.
Johann however was gasping for air as he pulled himself up and laid on the ground. “Yay” he said in a tired manner raising his fist in the air. “Let's just catch our breath for a while before we go further okay Pinkie?”
Pinkie nodded and sat next to him and patted his head. “ Okay Johnny we can rest for a bit. So can I ask you something while we wait.”
“Go ahead.”
“Do you miss your home?”
‘Well that came out of nowhere.’ Pushing himself up, so he was sitting up straight he looked over to Pinkie. “What do you mean Pinkie?”
She started to trace circles in the ground with her hoof. “Well I've noticed that since you've been here in Equestria you haven't seemed like you've been trying to get back home. Like I know if I was in your shoes I would be all panicky and worried sick about my friends and family.” She then looked up to him. “But aside from when we went to your home the first time,you haven't seemed down or worried.”
Johann scratched the back of his head trying to think of a way to answer her question to the best of his abilities. “Well to be honest Pinkie I am worried about all that and I do miss my friends and family back home. But when I was growing up I was trained to take life's punches and to go with the flow.” He then moved his hand on top of her head and gently rubbed it. “Plus deep down I know my friends and family are trying to find a way to bring me back home as we speak.”
“So does that mean we'll have to say goodbye to you when that happens.” Her ears folded back as her hair lets out a sound similar to a balloon deflating and her going straight.
‘Oh wow that's deep even for her.’ The moment was silent sans for the wind blowing around the mountain. Johann raised his hand to his chin and ponder what to say that could help. Until he snapped his fingers with an idea. “Well I don't think so. Because when you think about it,if I do go home then that means that I can just come back to visit.” This got Pinkie to look up at the cheerful saiyan. “Yeah cuz when you think about I got her by accident,but that tells us that there a way for me to come here. So once I get back I'll make sure to figure a way to come back and visit.”
Wiping a tear from her eye she gave a small smile. “ You promise?”
Johann grinned as he made certain hand motions. “Cross my heart and hope to fly,stick a cupcake in my eye.”
Pinkie Pie hair returned to its bright pinkie curly form as she tacked Johann in a warm embrace. “YAY!! I'm so happy!!”
Johann could barely breathe as Pinkie started to squeeze the life out if him. “Pinkie…..can't…...breath!!!”
Letting the gasping saiyan out get death hug she chuckled while rubbing the back of her head. “Eh heh sorry.”Gasping the sweet life that is air,Johann simply raises a hand giving her a thumbs up to show that he is well.
Jumping to his feet and stretching his arm over his head Johann pointed to the cave. “Alright Pinkie let's get that plant and get home before you miss that party.” Before he took a step further a thought crossed his mind. “Hey Pinkie who's the party for anyway.”
“Sorry can't tell you,besides I Pinkie promised not to tell hehe. But you'll see later since your invited anyway.” She trotted into the cave humming a cheerful tune.
‘I'm invited? I wonder who it's for then? Maybe someone I know?’He thought as he followed behind her.
==================================
“You know they always say stay from the light,but in our case lets head straight for it.” Johann quickly charged toward the exits unaware that Pinkie was saying something to him.
As he took the last step out he could see that the cave opened to a beautiful flower bed with endless rows of vanilla plants. The air smelled sweet and strong, Johann mouth watered as he could almost taste the sweet aroma.
Before he could take another step he found himself being pulled back behind a large boulder to the left of him. As he fell to the ground Pinkie placed a hoof over his mouth to keep him quiet. “Are you crazy! You should be watching out for the guardian!” She said in a hush tone.
Lightly removing her hoof Johann gave Pinkie an annoyed look. “Pinkie it's just a turtle-dove how bad could one--” Before he could finish his sentence Johann felt a large thump that shook the ground.
Looking back to the flower bed Johann’s eyes nearly popped out of his sockets as he saw what had shaken the ground. Standing four legs at around 12 feet tall was a large turtle with razor sharp fangs and jagged shell that would look like it could shred the rock they hid behind like paper. Along it's back was a pair of giant dove wings.
“Pinkie?”
“Yeah?”
“What in the wide word it that?” He asked trying to remain calm.
“Well duh that's the guardian, a turtle-dove.” She said as if it was natural.
“Pinkie that's not a turtle-dove, that's a giant tortoise with razor sharp teeth a shell that can shredded us into pieces,with wings.”
“And your ponies isss?” She asked tilting her head.
Johann placed both hands over his face and dragged them down as he grunted in frustration. “Okay you know what fine let's just get this over with. What's the plan?”
Pinkie smiled as she looked over the rock. Okay see the turtle dove over their?” she asked pointing to it.
“No all I see is a giant monster turtle.” he said with an annoyed tone. “Of course I can see it!”
“Well I need you to keep it occupied while I go get the vanilla.” She said pulling out s vial from her puffy mane.
“So basically I'm a distraction for the monster turtle,while you go get juice from a flower?” Pinkie nodded letting out a tiny squeak. “Yeah sure whatever.”
Moving away from the rock Johann started to flail his arm around. “HEY YOU MARIO KOOPA TROOPA REJECT OVER HERE!!! The beast looked at Johann snarling as it bare it razors blade fangs and started to charge him. “You know maybe I should not insult the giant monster turtle.”
Quickly he dogged roll out of the way as the beast slammed into the wall. Johann quickly back flips train to gain some distance between them. “Okay Shelly let's see how you handle a kienzan.” raising his right hand palms open Johann wired for his move to charge. As his hand remained raises the beast quickly turned to face him. “Come on anytime now….why isn't it working.”
“Oh I forget to mention that magic doesn't work on this mountain either. I guess that must go for ki as well!” Pinkie yelled quickly before ducking behind a rock.
“ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!!” He screamed as he jumped out of the way only for the turtle tail to whip him to wall when it passed him. “Pinkie if and when we make it out of this I'm going to have a serious talk with you.”
Quickly remove himself from the wall Johann tired to keep his eyes on the beast only to see it was nowhere to be found. ‘Where did it go?’ as he looked left to right Johann noticed a shadow looming over him. Looking up he could barely make out the shape of the turtledove under belly as it was head straight for him. ‘Oh sugar honey ice tea!’ He screamed mentally as he jumped out of the way with barely a second to spare. As the beast body collided with the ground the shock wave sent Johann flying to the opposite end over the flower bed nearly fall off the mountain.
“Okay that's it! I am sick of this mother fucking turtle,on this mother fucking mountain!!” Pulling himself up he watched as the turtledove dug its feet into ground preparing to charge. “Okay you want to play chicken? Then let's play chicken.” Turning his body sideways Johann widened his stance and extend his left arm out palm open towards beast,while his right hand clenched into a fist and lowered to his hip.
The beast let out a ferocious roaring as it started its charge toward the saiyan. Johann remained still maintaining his position as he waited. ‘Let's see how you handle my new technique. The backlash might hurt,but the reward is far greater.’
As the beast was only a few inches away Johann right hand burned bright red aura as he pulled back and trusted it at the beast head.”KAIOKEN FIST!!!” His fist collided with the beast head sending a powerful shock wave that rumbled like thunder.
The two remained still,the beast glaring into Johann’s eyes and him right back. For a moment Johann could have sworn he saw it grin before tumbling over to the ground on its side. Johann let out a breath of relief as he looked over the beast to see it was still breathing. Putting his hands together in front of him,Johann gave a bow. “It was an honor to go against a powerful creature like yourself, I hope we can meet again someday. But until then farewell.”
As Johann walked away from the now unconscious beast he could feel the pain surging through his right arm. ‘Damn gonna feel that in the morning. Now where is-’
“That was amazing!” Pinkie shouted popped in front of Johann causing him to jump in surprise. “It was all like “ROAR!!!”. And you were like “BRING IT ON” and them POW right in the kisser.”
Pounding his chest to get his heart back in order Johann looked to Pinkie. “Yeah well please tell me you got the stuff while I was dealing with it.”
Nodding her head Pinkie pulled out the vial to show a single drop of an amber colored liquid inside. “That's it!!” Johann shouted in disbelief. “We came all this way,up this stupidly big mountain, fought a giant turtle, all so you could get that?!” He and emphasize his meeting by pointing to the small vial.
“Well yeah this little drop here can turn a bathtub of water into pure vanilla extract.” She said in a cheery tone.
Johann's mouth was wide open as he found this information quite amazes. “But if that's the case why not fill the whole thing up so you don't have to come back for more later.”
Pinkie simply giggle as she stored the vial back in her main. “Because silly that would be taking way to much then we already need. Besides, I like coming I like coming up here with friends, it's more fun that way!”
‘You know what it's Pinkie Pie I shouldn't question it.’ Letting out a defeated breath Johann looked over the edge to see the sun was now slowly setting below the clouds. “Well we better hurry and try to get down this mountain. Though I'm not sure were gonna make it down this mountain and back to ponyville in time.”
“Don't worry I can handle this just like before.”
Turning towards you Pinkie smiled and waved.”Hi again can you help us out one last time and scroll down, so we can make it back in time thanks^^.”
“Okay Pinkie seriously who--”
====================================
“...are you talking to?”Johann eye widen and twitched as he saw the two were now back in Ponyville in front of Twilight’s castle.
“Thanks again readers now excuse me while I go help Johann before his brain has a melt down.”
Pinke waved to you goodbye as she trotted over to the bewildered saiyan.“Come on Johnny let's head inside before it's to late.”
As the two entered the castle Johann noticed it was incredibly dark and quiet. Before he could try use his ki to sense where everypony was the light flipped on with ponies yelling. “SURPRISE!!!” Johann fell backed as he saw that the entire town was gather under a banner that read “Welcome To Ponyville Johann!!”
Johann mouth almost feel to the ground in pure joyful shock.”What's all this for you guys?” johann asked getting back on to his feet.
“It's your welcome to Ponyville party silly.” Pinkie giggled as she jumped into his arm and hugged him. “We never did give you one when you first got here,and I couldn't give you one while you were unconscious, that be too boring and you wouldn't remember it hehe.”
Johann could only smile as he hugged Pinke back and looked onto the other guests. “Well what are we waiting for? Let's party!!” The crowd cheered as music from a DJ stand operated by a white mare with electric blue mane blasted some music causing the partygoers to dance to the beat.
=================================
As the night when on ponies started to head back to their homes until all who remained was Johann,spike and the six mare.
“I've got to admit this is the best party I've ever been to, thanks Pinkie Pie.” He smiled rubbing her main.
“Your welcome Johnny!” she smiled as she pushed her head against his hand. “But there still one last thing left to do before this night is over.”
Johann raised a brow in surprise. “What more could there be Pinkie?” He watches as Pinkie gave a whistle signaling the other five. The doors open with Twilight levitating amedium-sizedd box wrapped in orange paper and topped wind a blue ribbon tied around it.
“From all of us to you Johann.” The mares said in unison.
Johann carefully unwrapped the paper off the box and pull the lid off the top. Johann eyes widen as he saw what was inside. “Y-you guys there….there perfect.”
‘Well don't just stare at them darling try then on!” Rarity said as she used her magic to build a makeshift changing room for him.
Within five minutes Johann stepped out wearing a new set of clothing . Starting from the bottom were a pair of green and yellow boats that went up to his leg. Supported by a red belt were a pair of back pants. An orange and blue vest with black trim was worn over a blue T-Shirt. Finally to complete the ensemble were a pair of orange gloves with blue knuckle padding. “You guys these are amazing!”
“I made the outfit out of the finest and durable material I could get my hooves on.” Rarity stated holding her head up with pride.
“And I made sure that Rarity made sure they looked cool. She was gonna make all frilly before I came along.” Dash added causing Rarity to huff in annoyance.
“Thanks two they look great. You even got the symbol on the chest right.” Johann stated as he pointed to the symbol on his left side of his vest.
“You can thank Applejack and Fluttershy for that one.”Twilight spoke up next. “While you and Pinkie were out they went back to Canterlot to where you fought the Ursa Major to look for the shirt that was torn off during the fight.” Johann looked over to the farm mare and caretaker as they blushed.
“And that leaves my part. I made sure to enchant them to be extra durable and resistant to the element, and their machine washable.”Twilight add puffing out her chest with pride.
“Thank you everyone, this day for lack of better has been memorable.” Johann moved in for a group hug.
“Oh wait I almost forgot.” Pinkie said as she pulled a brown clothed bag out of her main. “Here's your payment for helping me get the vanilla extract I needed.”
“Pinkie I can't take that, not after such a amazing party.”
“But you have to.”
“Pinkie it's fine you keep it.”Johann said pushing the bag of bits back to her.
“No you keep it.” She quickly pushed it back.
“NO you keep it.”
“NO YOU KEEP IT JOHNNY!!” She yelled as the two pushed the bag of bits back and forth.
“No you keep it.” Johann said
“No I'll keep it!!”Pinkie screamed loudly
“Kami Dang it Pinkie I'll keep it and that's final!” Johann yelled pulling the bag of bits back to him.
“Okay you win.” Pinkie smiled as bounced away.
“Glad we could come to a……. Hey wait a minute.”
“No take backs bye!!” Pinkie shouted as she bolted out the door. Leaving a dumbfound Johann along with a group of mare and one dragon laughing their tails off.
Author's Note
So I had this idea a while back and decided to just role with it. Enjoy.
Special #1
Two months have passed since Johann’s adventure with Pinkie Pie,and his welcome to Ponyville party. Since then Johann has received many requests and favors from ponies across town. From helping ponies lift heavy objects to delivering packages to far off cities the postal service could not reach in time.
Another thing that had occurred was the development of Scootaloo training, the little filly was now able to slightly hover off the ground and use her wings to push her forward. However, Johann began to notice that anytime, he would offer to take the filly home she would instantly begin to sweat and stammer, and would kindly refuse his offer,before leaving at a hurried pass.
Even though Johann has been making a decent profit from his odd jobbing, He still found that one thing that would cause him both grief and annoyance. “NO MEAT!!!” He screamed in anger while training in the gravity room now set to eighty times normal earth's gravity.
Yes for all the bits he posses Johann could not buy the one thing he craved most. It wasn't that he felt ashamed that he ate meat considering that Equestria had civil carnivores,but that he would feel guilty as he is good friend with Fluttershy. During which on one of his odd job requests sent by Fluttershy herself to help her gather herbs from the Everfree Forest, Johann found spending time with Fluttershy quite enjoyable.
However, Johann quickly learned that Fluttershy has been distress as some of her “fish friends” as she called them went missing. Johann was now feeling guilty as for the week prior he had been rarely out to fish thinking that since fish couldn't speak that he could eat them with no fear or worries. But it seemed his hopes were crushed having heard Fluttershy speak those words. And from then on he promised to himself not to eat a single living creature in Equestria again.
Which now brings us to a protein crave saiyan wanting nothing more than to enjoy the taste treat that was meat. “Even though nuts,and beans are a good source of protein they just don't compare to actual meat.” He groaned as he clenched his stomach as it released a growl that could scare a hydra away.
Crawling to the machine that manipulated the gravity, Johann pressed the stop button restoring the gravity to normal, and he flipped on the floor still holding growling stomach. “Guess it time for breakfast.”
Slowly rising onto his feet Johann walked out the door and made his way down the hall to the kitchen. Opening the fridge he rummaged through the contents to see what would be appealing to eat. As Johann spent his third week in town he came to the conclusion that ponies diet consist of either fruits,vegetables or baked goods and pastries. While the food of this world was absolutely tasty they still couldn't hold a candle to a juicy salmon fillet.
Deciding to settle for a few apples that he purchased from Applejack the day prior Johann quickly sat himself down in the kitchen table to enjoy his meal. As he was finishing his second apple,Johann heard a knock at his door and quickly made his way to it. Opening the door Johann smiled as a grey furred pegasus mare with blond mane and golden eyes,wearing a brown vest,and hat stood at his doorstep. “Well good morning Ditzy, how are you this fine morning.”
The grey pegasus blushed lightly as the saiyan used her real name. “You know you'reone of the few creatures to use my actual name.” She smiled as she rubbed her left leg with her right hoof.
Johann knew Ditzy real name after delivering a cake that Pinkie had requested be delivered on her birthday courtesy of her daughter's Dinky and Sparkler Do who saved their bits to buy it for her special day. Johann was well aware that she was used to being called ”Derpy” by others do to her clumsiness, but he found that rather enjoyable about the mare. “Yeah I know,but hey it's your real name,and as such you should be addressed by it.” clapping his hands together and rubbing them Johann smiled once more
Ditzy's ears perked up as she craned her neck to her bag which she uses to hold all the letter she delivers. Turning her head back she pulled a single letter and newspaper. “Heer oh goo” she mutter as she held the items in her mouth.
Johann retrieved the papers from the mail mare and had a puzzled look as he received the newspaper,which usually was delivered by her daughter Dinky. “How come Dinky isn't delivering the newspaper today?”
DItzy smiled as she pulled a little pamphlet from the left side of her saddle bag. The pamphlet showed an image of a few images of different kinds of statues. “She and her sister Sparkler are on a field trip through a museum with her class in Manehattan. She wanted me to make sure that you got today paper.”
Johann smiled happily as he held a hand to his chest. “Aww even when she's not here she finds a way for me to enjoy the newspaper.” Putting the newspaper under his armpit Johann reached into his pocket and pulled out ten bits. “Well you make sure that I said thank you when she gets back.”
Ditzy grabbed the bit with her left wing and placed it in her front vest pocket. “Will do,well see you around Johann.” The mail mare waved goodbye as she took off into the air and accidentally bump into his mailbox as she passed it,to which she turned to him with concerns by her mistake only to smile as Johann waved it off like it was no big deal as she looked to him with concerns, but sighs in relief when he says it's no problem.
Before head back inside Johann took a moment to enjoy the scenery as a few birds flew the air to their respected nests while chirping a happy tune. If there was one thing Johann enjoyed most about Equestria besides the friends he’s made,it was the beautiful scenery that the land always gave off,like something out of a fairy tale,or children's cartoon.
Closing the door behind him as he walked back inside, Johann walked over to his couch and sat down on it while opening the newspaper and reading through it.”Hmmm seems like the Wonderbolts are going to be having a show in Filydelphia next week,wonder if Dash is going to be part of the routine.” Flipping through the pages Johann moved to look at the front and stopped on an article that caught his eyes immediately. “Royal vaults broken into last night? He read aloud the headline of the Newspaper. “Royal Canterlot vault was broken into last night as the powerful alicorn amulet went missing during routine check ups last night at 11pm. The princess has ordered that all her subjects be on high alert,and keep an eye out for it and not to try anything heroic, and report to the royal guard immediately.”
Placing the newspaper down on his lap Johann took a moment to think to himself as he leaned back in his seat. “If I'm not mistaken, the alicorn amulet has the power to grant anyone the abilities of an alicorn.” He thought aloud. “If that's the case I'm sure Twilight and her friends will most likely be on the job to help find it.”
Placing the newspaper aside Johann turned his attention to the single letter that he received today. Looking at the piece of paper Johann could see that an image of Twilight’s cutie mark was stamped on the seal on the letter. “Well speaking of Twilight.” Carefully opening the letter as not to damage the letter inside Johann gently tore off the top and pulled out the paper inside and read it aloud.
Dear Johann,
Due to some events of the vault theft me and the rest of the girls and spike have been summoned to help Princesses investigate the crime scene.
‘Called it’ He thought with a grin as he continued reading.
Since we'll be away I won't be able to pick up new couch from quill and sofas today,and would like to formally request your help.
‘Oh yeah Applejack bucked the old one out the window during my welcome party when she had too much hard cider. Oh man what I would have done to have a camera when she realized what she had done.’ He chuckled to himself as be pressed on.
I've already informed the shop owner of your arrival and have already paid for it. And the door to the castle is unlocked for you. So if you can do drop it off in my castle that would be wonderful.
Your friend Twilight Sparkle.
“Well looks like I know what I'm doing today.” jumping to his feet Johann made his way to the door and carefully slipped on his boots and made sure that he had some bits in case he decided to do some shopping after his job.
===================================
Once he picked up the large couch from the shop Johann made his way towards Twilight’s castle. As he walked through the town with the couch square on his shoulder ponies would often wave to him saying good morning, to which he gladly returned the favor. Soon he found himself at the foot steps to the castle and made his way up the stairs to the front door. As was written in Twilight's letter the door was unlocked and made his way inside.
Careful not to break anything as he walked inside and through the halls of the castle,Johann made it into the living room to which he gently placed the couch down and smiled. As he took a satisfied breath of relief the sound of something metal could be heard falling from down the hall. Poking his head out of the room Johann listened once more for another sound. The sound of something being moved around could be heard coming from down the hallway.
Slowly and carefully Johann made his way towards the sounds. ‘A robber? In this town? Not on my watch they don't, especially not my friends house.’ He thought internally as he soon reached the room from which the sounds were emanating from. Poking his head in Johann could see that he was in the library. Looking around inside the only thing Johann saw that was out of the ordinary purple mirror connected to some strange device.
Stepping into the room Johann couldn't sense the presence or energy of any other being. As he walked into the library he made his way towards the odd mirror to give it further inspections. With him being up close Johann could see at the top of the machine was a brown book with a yellow and purple sun/star on the cover. “What's this thing supposed to bed?” He wonder aloud.
“Well obviously it's a magical mirror.” voice came from behind Johann.
“GAAHH” He held in surprise as she jumped to the side and assumed a fighting stance as he eyed the source of the voice. The culprit was creature that stood as tall as Celestia and was a mix match of different sorts of animals. A long body narrow body with a goat head.
“Easy there kung fu magoo I'm not a threat…..well maybe not to other sanity.” The begin chuckled as it took a bow. “The name is Discord God of chaos and disharmony,at your annoyance.” He said removing his head and ripping it like a hat.
Johann felt a shiver run up his spine by this action, but quickly shook it off. “Right I remember reading about you from Twilight’s notes, your friends with Fluttershy.”
Rolling his head back onto his shoulders Discord gave a light chuckle. “Well it's good to see that someone new already knows about me, however.” Discord snapped his fingers making a giant magnifying glass appear making his eye look enormous while looking through, and inspected Johann’s body. “I don’t believe I recall Saiyans existing in our universe.” After a few more looks and Discord got rid of the magnifying glass stilling leaving one of his eye in an enormous state before his snaps his fingers and his eye making a balloon deflating sound as it returned to normal size.
This comment caught Johann off by surprise.”Wait. You know about saiyans? How?”
Discord chuckled heartily by this question. “You said you've read about did you not. I'm Discord I know all there is to know,even of those beings of different worlds and dimensions. I've even traveled to a few myself.”
Johann found himself ready to ask a question when Discord puts a lion finger to his lips. “And no I can't send you back to where you came from. The last time I visited your dimension I ended up accidentally creating GT.” Discord have a massive shiver at this memory,while Johann raised a brow not understanding the reference.
Letting out a sigh Johann decided to continue with his questions. “Well anyway why are you here Discord? I'm pretty Twilight wouldn't appreciate you snooping through her castle while she's away.”
“Well I originally came here to town to spend time with Fluttershy for our routine tea,but seeing as today paper.” He pulled a newspaper from one of his ears. “I saw that she and the other aren't home today.” With another snap of his fingers Johann watches as the newspaper sprouted wings and took off out an open window. “So now I'm just looking through Twilight’s castle hoping to find something worth messing with. That when I found this beauty.”He pointed with his talon like hand to the mirror behind him.
Johann cocked his head at the mirror and turned back to Discord. “You mean the mirror?” He asked pointing over his shoulder with his thumb.
“That's not just any mirror my dear monkey friend.” This comment made Johann give discord look that said “Really?”. “This here is a portal to an alternate Dimension,to a world not much different from this one, why you could say it's somewhat of a reflection of this place.” He chuckled as he tapped on a drum and hit a symbol,only for the sound of a cricket to be heard. “Tough crowd. Well anyway I was planning on heading over to meet the other me,when I soon found out that I can't go through the portal.” He snapped his finger teleporting right next to the mirror and placing his paw on the reflective surface. “I do believe it has to do with me being a God of chaos that I can't go through.”
“Well that a shame to hear. Well sorry I can't stay and chat but I'm heading home.” He turned on his heel and tried to leave the chaos begin behind in hopes of preserving his sanity.
In a flash of light Discord appeared in front of him causing Johann to bump into his chest. “Are you really not interested in knowing what lies beyond that mirror.” He asked turning Johann around to face it once more.
“Uh no, not really.”
“But think of all the possibilities of going to a whole other world, isn't it something you've always wanted to experience?”
Johann raised his left eyebrow and spoke in a deadpan tone. “Discord I'm already in another world remember? I'm not from here.” He moved Discords hands from him as he made his way towards the door.
“Would it pique your interest that there are humans on the other side of that mirror.” He spoke in a matter a fact way.
This did causes Johann to stop dead in his track as he looked to the spirit of chaos.”What?”
“Well I thought you would like to know that there are human beings on the other side. And you could say they are reflection of familiar faces, with a few minor differences in their origins,but who's keeping track.”
Completely confused Johann raised a hand to his chin as a thought came to mind. “But if that's the case why did Twilight act like she's never seen a human before?”
Discord shrugged his shoulder as he snapped his fingers and script with the title “A Saiyan Among Ponies” appeared in his paws. “We can just chalk it up to the writer forgetting to mention it in chapter 4. Oooh speaking of chapters.” Johann watches in complete confusion at Discords antics as he flipped through the pages. “Seems like chapter 11 is going to have one doozy of a fight,you better have your A game on for that one.” With another snap of his fingers and a flash of light the script disappears.
Johann left eye started to twitch as he tried to make logical sense of what Discord just did. He hadn't felt this confused since his adventure with Pinkie,and he was not interested in another migraine, so he let the question slip away. “You know I'm starting to think that you and Pinkie might be related when it comes to what you just did. But anyway like I said I'm not interested in messing around with Twilight's stuff, so I'll see you later Discord.” Once more Johann turned around and made his way towards the door.
Discord however had one last card up his metaphorical sleeve to play. “Oh poo then I guess you'll miss out on all you can eat sushi night at the mall.”
Johann immediately froze dead in his tracks as he quickly snapped his head back to look at Discord with his eyes locked on him. “Did you day sushi.”
“All you can eat sushi to be more accurate.” He said in a with a grin on his face.
Before Discord could blink Johann immediately zoomed over to him and stopped on time mere inches away from him making his body wobbling like a diving board. “You have my attention.”
Discord chuckled as he had the saiyans full attention, or at least his stomach attention. “Well as I said before,there are human on other side of the mirror. And as you know human are omnivores meaning they eat both plants and meat. And while I was reading this fascinating book.” He quickly stretched his claw out to grab the book from atop the machine. “That today should sushi Saturday in that world. According to the one wrighting Twilight that is."
Johann let out an audible gulp as his mouth started to water and his stomach roared in excitement. Looking back at the mirror Johann gave it one more thought. “And I'll be able to come back by the end of day no problem?”
Giving Johann a pat on the shoulder he continued.“Of course. So long as you remember the portal you exit out from you should be able to return by going through it”.
For Johann this seemed to be the answers to his prayers,but one question did loom in the back of his mind. “What's in it for you Discord.” He asked folding his arm in front of him. “I've read enough of Twilight's notes to know you don't do things out of the kindness of your heart.”
Discord has a shocked look as he held his chest dramatically. “Me no kindness? Well I never.” He folded his arms as well and turned looking upwards. Discord looked over to see Johann giving him a ‘I'm not gullible’ look. “Okay fine, all I want from you is a favor when I need it the future.”
“A favor? Really? You know if you want a favor you could just send a formal request and I'll do it for you.”
“Me? Formal?” Discord burst out laughing falling to the floor rolling on his back while his legs kicked in the air. “Oh ho seems you haven't read enough about me kid ha ha ha!!” Taking a moment to catch his breath Discord whipped a lone tear from his eye as he got back up. “No. All I want is a favor that you'll do for me anytime,any place I want no question asked.” Johann slowly opened his mouth to speak but was immediately cut off .”And no, I promise the favor will not have to do with anything bad or dangerous that could threaten Equestria and all those who lives in it yada yada etc etc. So do we have a deal then?” Discord asked extending his right paw out to the Saiyan
Johann closed his mouth and consider his options and what consequences his actions may hold, only to be interrupted by the growling pain in his stomach. “Yeah I think we do.” Johann took the paw in a firm grip as he shook it.
“Splendid now that we have an agreement I should probably give you some heads up for while you're on the other side.” Pulling out a chalkboard out of nowhere Discord started to write some notes. “First,and foremost while you are on the other side of the mirror you should expect to see some familiar faces to those you know here. Second, however is that some of their lives may seem different from the ones you know here,so just try to roll with the punches. Third,and finally…….have fun.” And with that Discord placed the book back atop the machine and pushed Johann, so he was in front of the mirror.
As Johann looked at his reflection, he questioned if what Discord said could be trusted. However, his stomach which was most likely eating itself beckoned him to go with it. Slowly he raised his hand to touch the mirror surface. He watched as his hand sank into the mirror with a purple glow,before he felt himself being pulled in and disappearing into the mirror leaving Discord alone.
“Oh I probably should have mentioned about the exit landing.” He shrugged. “Meh I'm sure he'll be fine.”
====================================
In a bright flash of light Johann found himself tumbling and rolling onto the ground. After a second to regaining his bearings he found himself look up at the blue sky with clumps of white clouds floated about. “He could have warned me about the entry landing.” Johann got off the ground as he sat up rubbing his head,as he did so he noticed that his outfit seemed to have changed. He now wore an orange jacket with black sleeves while wearing a white undershirt. His pants were now a light shade of green with belt and brown shoes. ‘Why does this outfit look so familiar?’
“LEAVE US ALONE YOU RUFFIANS!!!” A familiar voice cried out.
‘Well no time to think about that now.’ Getting to his feet and dashing off to help whoever was in need.
Two girls were up against a wall as three males stalked their way to them. One was a portly sized teen male with dark brown skin and wearing a blue cap on his head. The second was a tall skinny male teen with purple skin and blond bangs that hid his eyes, the third was a pale white teen male with pink hair and red eyes. “Listen up you Wonderdolts fork over your money and nobody will get hurt.” The largergest teen demanded as he glared at the two girls trying to hold their ground.
“Really trying to rob two girls in broad daylight, how dumb can you get?” Johann speaks out gaining the three teens attention as he stepped in between them and the girls while keeping his hands in his pockets. “I mean come on, you guys must be really stupid to pull that crap.”
“Mind your own business punk,this is between us them.” The skinny purple man spoke pointing to the girls behind Johann.
Johann didn't bother looking behind him to know the girls were worried. “Listen I couldn't care less what your beef is with these girls,so how about you beat it, and we won't have any problems.”
“Oh there's gonna be trouble for you now pale, we’re proud students of Fire gauntlet high.” The portly man yelled pointing to a patch on his shirt with an image of a ruby lite on fire.
‘These guys are in high school? Weird.’ Pulling his hands out if his pockets Johann shot the three a glare as he readied himself. “Well, I couldn't care less from what high school you clowns come from. So before we start I got one question for you.”
“Yeah what's that.” The purple teen asked.
"What's your guys gimmick here?”
“Gimmick?” Three asked in unison.
“Yeah you know the gimmick that all three man bullies have.”
“Dude I've got no idea what you’re talking about,but if I had to choose I'd say I'm the pretty one.” Spoke the purple skinned teen.
“Eh 5 out 10” Johann commented
“You little prick!”
Johann turned his attention to the pale skin teen who was chuckling for no reason. “And that make you the weird one with the creepy hobby.”
The teen chuckled “I like to collect dead snail shell.”
“Spectacle.” Johann then turned his attention to the portly sized teen in front. “And that would make you no doubt the big tough stupid one.”
The large teen growled raising his fist to Johann. “You take that back or I'll kill you!”
“Alright alright you’re not tough.”
“That's better.” He said no longer growling and lowering his fist.
“Wait didn't you-” one the girls started to ask.
“Give him a minute.” Johann added.
“...........hey!” The large teen yelled as started to charge at Johann who quickly grabs the teen by his arm and redirected him so as to not run into the girl behind him.
Johann quickly jumped back to gain some distance when he found himself pressed against a dark brown pickup truck. “You bitch!!!” The large teen yelled as he charged once more fist ready to punch.
Johann quickly back flipped onto the hood if the truck as the teen fist collided with the door leaving a large dent in it. “Now now that truck is not you’re eating disorder.”
“Your a penis.”
“So long since you’ve seen yours that you don't even recognize one do you ya?” He mocked causing one of the girl to cover her mouth as she tried not to chuckle.
The large teen jumped on the top of the truck and quickly threw his right fist aimed at Johann, only for it to be caught in by his hand and squeezed tight crushing the bones in his hand. “Ahhhh” before he could retract his hand Johann pulled his arm out while his free arm raised over it. “Please don't break my arm.” The teen begged.
“Hmmm…..no.” Bringing his left elbow down and his right knee up he broke teens arm making a loud cracking sound causing everyone to wince at it.
With a swift kick to the teen chest Johann sent him onto the ground holding his broken arm.The teens eyes shrank with horror as he watches Johann slowly walk his way towards him. “All right I know we said somethings but I bet if we just talk to each other little, we can become friends.” He spoke in terror holding his good arm out. “What do say hi five?”
Johann held his arm out. “Down low”
“wha..?”
Johann pushed his hand close to the teens face with middle finger bent held back by his thumb. “To slow.” With his thumb out-of-the-way Johann's middle finger flicked the teen square on the nose sending him flying to the other bullies causing them to fall over as the large teen knocked them down.
Johann glared at the two conscious teen making them stiff with fear.“Alright you two take your friend and leave and don't ever let me catch you around this area again. Do you hear me?” The two quickly nodded their head as lugged their friend to the brown pickup truck and tossed him in the back of the truck and quickly hop into the car and sped off.
Johann let out a sigh of relief and slowly made his way to the two girls. “I'm sorry you had to see that, but I can't stand those who would try to oppress the weak and helpless.” He stopped right in front of the two and held his hand out for a girl with fair white shin and purple hair.
“It's alright darling those fire gauntlet brute had it coming. I'm ra-”
“Rarity?” Johann asked with a shocked expression.
The purple hair girl cocked her head to the side.“Why yes,but how did you know that? Have we met before?”
Johann turned his attention to the second girl with light yellow skin and light pink hair. “I-im Fluttershy “ The shy girl spoke in a quiet soft tone.
Rarity rolled her eyes“Darling you must speak up there's no way he heard-”
“It's nice to meet you Fluttershy.” Johann once again caught Rarity off guard as Johann extended his hand down to Fluttershy, to whom he slowly and gently placed her hand in his palm as he carefully lifted her to her feet.
“Now I know we must have met know if you knew both our names.” Rarity pondered with a hand to her check as she leaned on it in bewilderment.
“Uh...lucky guess eh heh.” Johann scratched the back of his head as he remembered what Discord said in regard to familiar faces. Looking at the girl more closely he found it was hard to believe that before him we’re the human version of his pony friends back home.
Before anything else could happen Johann remember that he hadn't found out where he was meant go to for the all you can eat sushi.
The two girls looked to each other and back to Johann, Rarity cleared her throat. “Why yes the restaurant is at the Canterlot Mall down that way.” She pointed behind Johann to a large building that can be seen far down the street. “Two of our friends works there, we would have loved to take you there ourselves to show our thanks, but we have some work do today perhaps if If we finish early we may see you again.”
Johann smiled and nodded “It's fine telling me where to go is all the thanks I need. Well catch you later.” He waved his hand goodbye as he started jogging down the street towards the mall.
“Did it seem off that he knew our names darling?” Rarity asked turning to Fluttershy.
“I'd say so,but he did help us albeit excessive.” Fluttershy added as she brushed some hairs out of her eyes. “But he did seem to be a kind person.”
“Mmm I guess so dear.”
===================================
As Johann jogs down the sidewalk on his way to the mall he took notice of his surroundings. From his perspective it didn't seem that much difference from his city back home, aside from the square building, and the cars used wheels instead of Hoovering. As he continued to jog on an uphill sidewalk, he noticed a couple of barrels quickly rolling down the road with two girls in hot pursuit.
“Somebody stop them barrels!!” Called a family southern voice.
Without even take a moment to consider his actions Johann lept into the street and got into a crouching stances and stopped the first barrel. The second barrel soon slammed into the first forcing the first to budge, but Johann did not let go.
“Look out dude!!” Came a raspy voice.
Looking up Johann saw the third and final barrel bounced off the second barrel and was on a collision course with himself. Placing his right knee in front of the barrels to keep them from rolling Johann quickly caught the last barrel with both hands and felt his body leaning back,but quickly forced his muscles to lock in place stopping him from falling.
“Phew that was close.” Setting the third barrel down at straight up so it could no longer roll, he repeated the same process with the other two barrels.
The two girls came running down the street and stopped as the reach Johann and the barrels.”I'm mighty sorry for all that there, but I'm even more grateful for yer help their partner.” Spoke the girl with a southern accent. Looking up Johann could see that she had light orange skin with blond hair and wearing a familiar cowgirl hat.
“Yeah sorry dude,I was trying to show my friend here that I could easily lift three barrels of cider like her and her brother but lost my balance and well you know the rest eh hehe.” Spoke the raspy voice girl whose skin was light blue and had a prismatic colored hair.
“You really should be more careful when you're showing off Dash,especially when it comes to Applejack products.” Johann shook his head as he gave his opinion.
“Now hold on their partner, how did you know our names?” Applejack asked with her signature raised eyebrow.
“Hey yeah.I mean I know I'm awesome and well known, but I don't remember seeing you around town before.” Dash leaned in scanning Johann to check if she's met him before.
“Umm…….lucky guest?” Pretending to look at an imaginary watch Johann started to jog in place. “Love to stay and chat but I got to get to the mall before it can close. Later.” He quickly took off up the hill.
Folding her arms Dash watch as Johann leaves.“What's up with him?”
Scratching the back of her head Applejack was just as confused. “I'm not sure sugarcube,but I do get the feeling that he knows something we don't. But I will admit that feller sure is strong.”
===================================
‘Man I've gotta stop saying names so quickly before someone finds out I'm not from here. Or at least I can find out who it is that Twilight talks to here……...wait did Discord ever mention who it was that Twilight wrote to?.........Shit!” Soon Johann found himself in front of a large building that had the word “MALL” written across it. ‘Well, I can worry about that when I get back. For now, it's time to enjoy some nice delicious sushi.’ He cheered internally as the idea of eating sushi made his mouth water.
Walking up to double door which slid open once he got close enough,Johann could hear the sounds of the mall fill his ears. From sound of people conversation mixing around with other,to the loud footsteps on polished floors. However, Johann now remembers that he wasn't sure where the restaurant was located in the large mall. What's more unfortunate was that he didn't see a map anywhere and was now without a way to find his goal.
Looking around Johann the various shops and stores around him. To his right was a store called “Barn and Nobles” and next to that was a store called “Seals”. To his left was what caught Johann attention. It what looked like an ice cream parlor, its bright colors and aroma beckoned him to go there. ‘Maybe, I can ask for some directions from someone inside.’
Just as he took a single step into the shop,his vision was immediately blocked by a pink bubbly girl.”Hi welcome!!!”
“GAHHH” Johann yelled as he fell back landing on his butt. “Gezz Pinkie did you have to scare me like that?!” He yelled as he rubbing his sore rear.
“Sorry abou….wait how did you know my name?” Pinkie asked holding a finger to get chin. “Because I don't recognize you and I know everybody in town.”
‘Crap think Johann think. Saying lucky guess ain't gonna work this time.’ Johann eyes quickly tried to look around for anyway to give a good excuse for knowing her name,until finally the rested on a piece of plastic on her shirt. “Because it's written on your name badge.”
“Oh silly me of course my name is on my name badge. And here I thought you were someone from Equestria here to eat meat guilt free so not to hurt pony Fluttershy feeling. And you've been pumping into human versions of your pony friends and having to dodge why you know their names, so they don't find out you're another world.” Pinkie quickly inhaled as she then smiled.
Johann jaw dropped but quickly shook his head.”Yeah silly ha ha ha.” Johann couldn't even bother to make an attempt at what he just heard.
Placing her hands on knees and looking down at Pinkie smiled. “So what can I do for you today?”
“Oh well I was actually trying to see if anyone here knew where I could find the restaurant with the all you can eat sushi?”
Clapping her hands together as she straighten up with a big smile on her face. “Oh you must be here for Sushi Saturday right?”
“Yeah actually I am,do you know where the restaurant is?” Johann asked getting onto his feet and brushing his pants off.
“Yeah it's one more level up to the right you can't miss it.”
Turning around to exit the building Johann gave Pinkie a polite wave. “Well thanks for the help Pink.”Before Johann could finish his sentence he felt himself being pulled back and forced to sit down on a stool next the count.
“Now hold on buster I can't let you go yet, at least not till you try our new drink.” Pinkie smiled as she slammed a large glass mug filled with a golden liquid inside.
“Um Pinkie I don't think you’re allowed to give alcohol to underage people, I'm only 18.”Johann politely stated pushing the mug away from him.
Pinkie just chuckled as she pushed it back.”Silly Billy this isn't beer, it's called cream soda. It's the tastiest drink we have,and don't worry it's on me so you don't have to pay.”
Johann eye'd the drink set before him. The mug itself was a large as a beer mug filled with an amber gold colored beverage inside. Gently lifting the mug up to mouth Johann could smell the aroma of the drink inside, ‘Vanilla?’ Tipping the drink with his lips on the edge of the glass, he slowly let the gold colored liquid slide into his mouth. Immediately Johann is met with a sweet rich tastes that also somehow was mellow in flavor. Though it was considered a soda the carbonation didn't overwhelm his tongue, instead the bubbles lightly danced along his tongue allowing the taste to sink deeper into his taste buds. Finally, he swallowed and smiled as the gentle bubble tickled his throat as the liquid slides down his throat making it impossible for him not to smile.
“Well what do you think?” Pinkie grinned as she watched Johann expresses throughout the whole time.
Chugging down the whole mug in one go Johann let out a sigh of pure bliss.”Its perfection. That's all that needs to be said, any other words wouldn't do it any justice.”
“Well I'm glad you liked it,I'll be sure to add it to our menu of drinks hehe.”
“Wait I thought you said this was your guys new drink.” He asked with a cocked eyebrow.
“Well I said it was a new drink,but I didn't say it was on the menu. I mean if I didn't you wouldn't have drinked it now would you?”
“So I was basically your guinea pig?”
“Well kinda,but hey you liked it right?” She said with a big toothy smile.
“True, well I'll catch you around Pinkie.”
“Bye see ya”
Pinkie watched as Johann left the store and walked in the direction of the elevator. “Maybe, I should give the other me the recipe, so she can make it for him when he gets back.” She chuckles as she went back to work.
===================================
As the elevator let out a “Ding” to signal the next floor Johann made his way to the right hoping to find what he had been waiting for all day. As he walked down the along the shops he saw what he had been searching for. The restaurant had a neon sign with a sushi roll. Not wasting any time Johann made B line for the restaurant and walked through the doors and was greeted by a girl with light purple skin and violet hair with a hot pink and dark purple streak in her hair.
“Hi welcome how can I help you today?”She greeted him with a smile.
‘Okay I obviously know it's Twilight,but I won't say that out loud.” Cleaning his throat he spoke “Yeah I'm here for sushi Saturday.”
Twilightl winched a bit by his words. “I'm sorry sir but sushi Saturday has been canceled recently. The owner said that people didn't finish all their plate and were wasting money.”
If Johann hair could deflate like Pinkies it would have. Hanging his head in defeat Johann decided to settle for just paying for individual plates. “It's fine I'll just take seat and order something else instead.”
“Well okay have a seat anywhere you want,I'll have a server sent to you when one is available.” She extended her arm out for letting him through to find a seat in the restaurant.
Deciding to take a seat in the far right corner Johann sat down, so he was face the wall. He'd rather not sit where people could see his disappointed expression.
Johann waited listen to the white noise of the other people deep into their conversation. Then a thought occurred.’Do I have enough money?’ Sliding his hand into his pocket expected to feel the bits he had put in there before he lef,but was surprised to find that they had changed into bills. Pulling them out he saw that he had well over three hundred dollars. ‘Huh maybe I do have enough to satisfy my sushi cravings.”
Johann thought was interrupted by the sound of someone clearing their throat. Turning his attention to the sound he saw for the first time a girl he wasn't familiar with. “High there my name is Sunset I'll be your waitress today.” Sunset hand light orange which was just slightly darker than Applejacks skin. She had teal iris and flaming red hair with yellow highlights in it. “Can I offer you a drink to start with?”
Johann quickly shook his head to clear his mind. “Um yes I'll have some cola please.”
Sunset smiled and handed Johann a menu as she wrote down his drink order. Just before Sunset started to leave she gave smile and wave in the direction of the front door. “Hey guys have a seat anywhere you want I'll be with you shortly.”
Johann wasn't sure who it was Sunset was talking due to him facing the opposite direction,but he merely shrugged as he started to look over the menu. Glancing down at the menu Johann saw that most plates cost between five and seven dollars. “Well…...looks like I'm gonna put this money to good use.” While Johann was to busy scanning through the menu he failed to notice that five girls took the table behind his.
Moments later Sunset returned with Johann drink and looked to him as he had his menu closed. “Have you decided what you wanted yet sir?”
“Yeah I'll start with yours guy’s dragon roll please.”
Sunset gave a polite bow.”One eel role coming up.” She smiled before heading back to the kitchen.
With nothing else on his mind Johann could hear the conversation from the table behind him more clearly. “They did what now?!” A familiar southern voice shouted.
“You heard me right darling,they tried to force us to give them our hard earned money.” Came a formal voice.
Johann thought it was merely a coincidence until he heard the next voice. “So what did you do. Did you clobber those fire gauntlet jerks.” Came a raspy voice.
“Heavens no darling a proper lady does sully her hand with such things.” Johann couldn't see it, but he got the feeling that someone just rolled their eyes. “Besides we didn't need to.”
“And why's that’s sugarcube.” The southern accent questioned.
“Well just as those ruffian were about to strike,out of no where some dashing rogue came to intervene. He stood his ground and told those hooligans to leave us alone.”
“Did they?” The raspy voices asked. Johann already knew the answers as he heard what sounded like someone shaking theirs head. “Oh boy how bad did he get beat up.”
Johann felt somewhat annoyed that they assumed he would lose to those losers,the again these weren't his friends from Equestria. “Ha it was more like how roughed up the bullies were. When the biggest one of the made an attempt to thrash him,our hero dodge with ease and easily stood his ground. And though I didn't care much for it,I'd lying if didn't say I found it slightly amusing when he broken one of their arm.”
Johann then heard what sound like someone doing a spit take and was confirmed when the back of his head moistened up. “WHAT!?” Came a high-pitched voice.
While grabbing a napkin to dry the back of his head the conversation continued. “Honestly Pinkie did you really need to spit you nearly got one of us,lucky no one got wet.”
“Speak for yourself Rarity.” Johann grumbled still drying the back of his head.
“But do you know what the strangest part was of that encounter?Our hero knew both mine and Fluttershy names, even though I'm completely positive that we had never made his acquaintance.”
Johann starred to take a sip of his drink as she continued.“You sure about that Rarity?”
“Believe me Applejack I think I would remember meeting such a strapping hunk of a man like that.” Johann inhaled his drink as his face burned bright causing him to cough when the beverage went down the wrong pipe.
“You know the same thing happened to us today.”
“Oh do tell Rainbow Dash.”
“Well when I was trying to show AJ here that I could carry three barrels of cider like her and Big Mac, I kinda,may have,slightly lost my grip and the barrel rolled down the street.” Dash said in an embarrassed tone.
“Oh my” Came a gentle and quiet voice,which no doubt was Fluttershy.
“Yeah, and we nearly would have
“But just when me and AJ thought he was gonna get nailed in the head,he took his right knee in front of the two he already caught and then catches the third one right out of the air no problem.” Johann couldn't help but feel proud of the praise he was getting.
“And then when we was apologizing and thanking him,he somehow already knew me and Dash’s name.” This caused some of the girls to mumble among themselves.
“Well did you guys ever get your hero's names.”A cheerful voices asked,who Johann had not doubt was Pinkie Pie,an awkward silence remained as the girls let out a simultaneous “No”.
“I did get a good look at him though. He was tall had broad shoulder, rather handsome really.” Rarity cement made Johann’s ear burn.
“A-and he was very gentle and had a kind smile.” Fluttershy added.
“He differently looked like a guy who hits the gym often the way be stopped those barrels.” Dash remarked.
Applejack letting out a ‘hmmm’ before saying her part.” But there was also something odd about him,like he was hiding something.”
“Wait could you guys be talking about a guy with black spiky hair.” Pinkie asked.
“Yes?”The other four girls said in unison.
“And was he wearing an orange jacket with black sleeves and a white under shirt?”
“Yeah” once more they said together.
“And did he have light green pants and brown shoes?”
“YEAH!!”The girls answered as if they had just sold the world’s greatest mystery.
“Then, it must be the same guy who came in to the shop today and tried my new soda recipe.” Pinkie let out a squeak of delight. However, the other girls groaned in a sad tone. “What?”
“Pinkie darling be honest with us, did the poor chap suffer?” Rarity questioned.
“I sure hope it wasn't painful for him.”Fluttershy sobbed as she blew her nose.
“Poor feller didn't stand a chance.” Johann heard what sounded like a hat being taken off,mostly being held to her chest.
“Darn it Pinkie!You had to go and give the guy who helped us all out food poisoning before we could thank him didn't you!?” Grunted Dash with an annoyed tone.
“Oh come on you guys my last drink only sent the last customer to the hospital for two days.” Suddenly Johann felt very worried for his health as he clenched his stomach half expecting it to burst. “Besides he said the drink was perfect, and when I told my boss about and let him try he said he loved it too,and that we'll be selling it in the shop.”
Just as the girls started to thank the heavens for small miracles, Sunset had arrived with Johann’s order. “Here go enjoy.”
Johann looked at his plate to see his goal. On the plate was six pieces of rice with long brown cuts of eel. Johann looked up to say his thanks when he noticed the expression on Sunsets face. Her eyes were wide and her face was in horror,he could even see her skin pale a bit. Turn his head to see what she was looking at,Johann saw four men wearing all black and masks, three if them were carrying handguns,while forth had an assault rifle.
“NOBODY MOVE AND NO ONE GETS HURT!!” The man carrying the assault rifle shouted. “EVERYONE ON THE GROUND OR FACED DOWN ON THE TABLES!!!” The man commanded.
Johann was about to get up when he felt a hand wrap around his wrist pulling him down,looking back he saw Sunset with tears in her eye pledging for him to do as they said. Letting out a sigh Johann set his head down on the table as order.
Then men walked around the restaurant kicking chairs out their way and flipping tables at random. “Alright listen up!! We're gonna take everyone's money and the place cash without any Problems understand!!” When the man with the assault rifle reached the table behind Johann he could hear Fluttershy crying in fear. “Hey shut the hell up bitch!! One of the men with a handgun fired off a warning shot making Fluttershy go silent.
Then finally they reach Johann’s table,he kept his head down but watches from the corner off his eye as the man with the assault rifle stood at his side. The gunman picked up the plate and slowly inspected it before tossing at Sunset hitting her in the leg shattering the plate and cutting her leg a bit. This was the final straw as Johann slowly rises from his seat and stood at his full six feet tall.
The gunman slightly backed up a bit before pointing the assault rifle at him.” SIT YOUR ASS DOWN !!!”
Johann however raised his hand and gripped the barrel of the gun between his middle and index finger, and with twist of his wrist the barrel bent to the left. The gunman’s hand began to shake as Johann placed a hand on each of his shoulders and looked to the man with his eyes closed. “Listen buddy you can threaten me all want. You guys can beat me till I'm black and blue. But there are two things you should never do in my presence.” He started to grip the man’s shoulder tightly forcing him down onto his knees while Johann’s eye were still closed. “First harming a defenseless and innocent people.” He gripped tighter making the man below in pain. “And ruining my food.” Johann eyes shot open send giving the man a death glare.
“For two whole months I went without eating a single piece meat, all because I felt guilty for a friend who loves animals. Then I find out this places is just far enough to the point where I wouldn't need to feel guilty. And then just as I was about to enjoy my nice tasty eel, you guys came in here sticking up the place.” Johann slammed his head against the kneeling man so their eyes were mer inches apart.” You could have just taken the money and go,but no you had to go and ruin my meal by hurting this poor waitress?
“So I have one question for you four?” He glared at the other three men whose hands were shaking as they kept their aim at him. “Are you ready to die.” He asked him a deep menacing voice,before tossing the man in his grasp out the window and against the railing at the edge of the floor causing the metal to bend around the now unconscious crook.
“You little prick!!!” Johann watched as two of the gunmen took position side by side on his left side aiming theirs shaking guns at him.
“Pft too easy.” Johann quickly disappeared out of sights leaving the gunmen looking frantically for him. The two quickly stopped moving as each felt a painful force at the back of theirs head. The crooks slowly tried to look back only to see Johann theirs with his hand gripping their heads. “Lights out fellas.” Pushing his arms together Johann forced the two men’s head to slam into each and fall the ground passed out. “That's just leaves.”
BANG!!!!
Was the sound Johann heard before falling to the ground.
“AHHHHHHH” Rarity screamed ducking her head as she heard Johann's body fall to the ground.
“Alright now that Mr Hero is out of the picture I want all the money now.” He pointed his gun towards Twilight who froze in terror behind the register. “You empty all the money out not before..”
“Gezz dude what kind of weak crap was that.” Came a familiar voice.
The last gunman turned his attention to the voice only to tremble in fear. Standing back up while rubbing his temple with the bullet still embedded slightly in Johann head, he watched as Johann got to his feet. “I mean wow that felt like I just got beaned with a tennis ball.” Johann carefully pulled the dented bullet out his head to reveal no blood or that the bullet pierced his skin.
“Dude I hate to tell ya, whoever sold you that gun ripped you off.” Johann casually tossed the bullet up and down in his palms while the gunman kneels shook ready to buckle. “You definitely should sue the guy who sold you it." He continued to rose the bullet up and down as he looked at the last gunman. "Man I hope you have a good lawyer?” Johann flicked the dented bullet sending it to knock the gun out of the man's hand. Before the man could react Johann was face to face with him.”But I hope you have an even better dentist.” Without warning Johann fist collided with the man's jaw easily breaking a few teeths before the man flew back landing on the ground with a thud.
The restaurant girls along with the rest of the customer looked to their savior in amazement as he lightly rubbed his knuckles on a napkin. “Hey could someone call the police and an ambulance for these guys.” After he finished cleaning his knuckles of any blood he tossed the rag onto the unconscious man's face and turned to the five girls sitting at the table. “By the way I never formally introduced myself. The name is Johann it’s nice to meet you all.” He bowed his head to them all.
===================================
After the police arrived to detain the crooks and get a formal statement from the witnesses and surveillance footage the officer had no further questions as they left. Once all the officers had left Sunset and the other girls approached Johann as he was sitting at a table inside the restaurant.
Looking up at the girls now surrounding his table Johann knew it was time to face the music. “Alright I know you girls must have some questions after all that so lay it on me.”
The moment was silent before Sunset stepped. “Are you the same Johann that Princess Twilight has been mentioning in her letters?”
This got Johann full attention as he looked to her. “You’re the one who Twi has been writing to?”
“Yes! I'm Sunset Shimmer and these are my friends,but you already know who they since your friends with their equestrian counter parts.”
“Sure do. Ladies” He smiled as he waved to the six girls who waved back.
“So that explains why you knew our names, you're a pony from equestria. Oh how I wish I would have now darling.”
“Actually Rarity, Johann here isn't a pony.” Sunset added.
Rarity covered her mouth in embarrassment. “Oh I'm sorry good sir I didn't mean to assume your races. I just thought….oh how insensitive of me.”
Sunset looked Johann with a grin. “Do you want to tell them or should I?”
“Oh please go right ahead. It be a change that someone knows who I am today.” He smiled as he gave her the thumbs up.
“You guys Johann here is actually an alien from a different Dimension from both our worlds.” Sunset added placing a hand on Johann shoulder.
The table was completely silent for a good minute before the girls jaws dropped in unison. “WHAT?!” The group yelled.
“Don't worry I'll fill you guys in later. In the meantime though we have another issue to deal with.” Sunset pointed to a man wearing a chef hat walking over towards them.
“The chef?” Johann asked feeling confused.
“He not just the chef Johann. He's also the owner of the restaurant.” Twilight whispered into his ear.
“Oh boy.” Johann gulped nervously.
The owner stopped at the groups table looking at everyone around it,before finally locking his sights on Johann. “Are you the one who took care of those robbers?” He asked his arms crossed.
Johann gulped audibly as he shook his head.“Yes sir. And I'm sorry about the widow I promise to pay fo-” Johann was stopped as the man held his hand to his face to silence him.
“Earlier I couldn't help but overhear someone mentioning sushi Saturday. Was that you?” Johann nodded. “You know we canceled that deal because people kept wasting my food that I worked so hard to make.”
Johann nodded. “Yes I was told about that, and thought it was a shame.”
The chef nodded.“I know you do because when I was on the ground earlier in the kitchen when the men came in I heard how you were angered by how they wasted your food.”
Johann felt completely confused. “Um sir where are you going wi-” He was stopped once again by the man's hand.
“Because you not only saved my employees and my business, I will allow you and only you to enjoyed the benefit of all you can eat sushi Saturday on every other Saturday.”
Johann eyes widen in both shook and surprised. “You mean it?”
The chef nodded before pulling out a large knife and pointing it at him. “But if you so much as waste a single grain of rice I'll have you banned from my restaurant. Are we clear? “
Johann quickly smiled and laughed. “I'd sooner die than do that sir.” Immediately Johann's stomach let out a loud roar of hunger.
The chef burst out laughing clenching his sides. “Not if you don't die of hunger first pft ha ha ha!!” The Chef placed the knife back into its sheath before grabbing Johann's hand and shaking it. “Let get you something to eat before you keel over,and don’t even think about money for today is on the house.”Johann almost cried at such generosity.
====================================
“I still can't believe you ate fifty-three plates of sushi in one day.” Sunset teased light poking Johann shoulder. “Good thing the boss let's us off early otherwise, we could have been stuck washing all those plates.”
“Hey the man did say eat till I couldn't. And I did.” Johann chucked as the group made it to the portal. Looking around now Johann saw that the portal was in front of what looked to be a high school.
“Will we ever see you again darling.” Rarity asked with her hands put together in front of her.
“Count on it. So long as Princess Twilight is cool with it. And hey if you girls ever need help just send me a request since I'm an odd jobber and I'll be here lickety split.” He said while standing in front of the portal.
The girls let out sighs of relief before Sunset walked up with a smile on her face. “Well before you go the girls and I wanted to show our thanks for both helping us and saving our lives.” Sunset leaned in and gently kissed Johann on the cheek making his face blush.
Stepping back Sunset moved out of the way for Rarity. “You were a knight in shining armor today,even though you were a bit rough at times. But nonetheless.” Rarity applied some lipstick real quick before giving Johann a peck on the cheek leaving a kiss mark.
Johann couldn't even process what was happening as Rainbow Dash came next.”You were totally badass today. Kinda jealous of the other me now.”
She gave a swift kiss and moved away quickly as Applejack came next. “If the other me hasn't already got you working on her farm I'll be sure to send you a help request.” Applejack planted a kiss on Johann cheek that lasted a bit longer than the rest.
Pinkie bounced in next to Johann and smiled warmly. “And I'll be sure to send the other me the recipe for that drink you loved. “Pinkie broke the cycle by gently kissing Johann's nose leaving his face burning red.
Next was Twilight.”Um I'm currently in a relationship, so I hope you don't mind just a hug.” She asked with open arms.
“Not at all.” Johann sighs in relief as he hugged her,finally able to let his heart rate slow down and his face returning to its original color.
Just as Johann was about to walk through the portal he felt a light tug on his jacket sleeve. Turning back he saw Fluttershy with a red face. “Um...I...would...like...too..um.” She stammered her face as red as Johann was earlier.
Johann lightly patted the top of her head.”Hey Fluttershy it’s fine you don't have to do what you don't want to.”
However, Johann was caught off guard as Fluttershy gripped a hold of his collar of his jacket and pulled him in for a kiss. Unlike the others however this wasn't a peck on the cheek or nose,but a full on lip locking French kiss. Johann’s face burned like hot magma as steam rise from his face and his body went stiff. After a few more second Fluttershy finally broke the kiss gasping for air leaving Johann face crimson red as his body remained ridged and slowly falling backwards until he fell into the portal and in a flash was gone.
Turning to her friends Fluttershy saw that everyone's jaw was wide open and their faces were a light shade of red. The long silence was broken however when Pinkie spoke. “Wow I guess it's true what they say. It's the shy ones you would never expect.” All the girls nodded in agreement as Fluttershy smiled.
====================================
“Discord I'm serious!!! What did you do with him?!” Prince Twilight yelled as she stared down Discord who merely shrugged.
“I told you already Twilight I had nothing to do with your pet monkey. Scouts honor.” Discord snapped his fingers making a green shirt and hat with patches appear on him.
“First, he's not a pet he's a friend. Secondly, you were never in colts scouts.” She remarked blasting the hat off Discord's head.
Before Discord could speak once a more bright flash and the sound of something crashing onto a pile of books was heard. “Oh look there your friend back from his adventure. Well since he's back I'll be on my way. Ta ta.” And with another snap of his finger Discord was gone.
Twilight quickly rushes over to Johann only to see his face was bright red and with a kiss mark on his cheek “Johann a-are you okay?” Twilight asked feeling worried.
“Never better Twi.” Was all Johann could say before passing out.

The Falling Star(re edited)
Chapter 1
Edited by SynthetaCrete
The moon was a perfect crescent, shining its light down upon Cloudsdale, where the Mane Six were celebrating the first anniversary of Rainbow Dash being inducted into the Wonderbolts.
"Let give a big ol cheer for rainbow" Applejack raised a mug of cider in one hoof while the other was around Rainbow Dash’s shoulders.
Dash blushes, pushing Applejack’s arm off.
A Pegasus with a yellow coat and an air of command entered the conversation after walking up to Rainbow and giving her a proper slug on the shoulder in honor of her achievement. Spitfire had decided before the occasion to leave her uniform behind in her locker and instead come to the party more like a friend and not so much the one who ordered Dash around. Tonight was different though as it was a time to kick back and enjoy the company of friends and fellow Wonderbolts.
"You've earned it rookie! Not only have you broken academy records, but you've shown to be an excellent leader," She exclaimed leaving Rainbow Dash to blush again at the compliment from her superior officer. “Keep up the good work and I might just have somepony good enough to replace me someday eh?”
“Hey wait!” Soarin called out from across the room after he had noticed Spitfire was starting to get a little chummy with his wingmate. “I wanted that promotion! I’ve been here way longer than her, don’t I deserve it?”
“Heh, maybe next time.” Spitfire laughed as he abandoned Fleetfoot mid-sentence and ran over to protest. “Unless you two wanted to go outside right now and have a race. I’d possibly consider the winner when it comes time to choose my replacement.”
“Wait, you’d only consider it?” Soarin exclaimed in dismay while Rainbow blew a raspberry at him from behind Spitfire’s back. “What about the last show we did for Princess Celestia…? Doesn’t that count?”
“As I recall you bumped into Fleetfoot over there and wrecked about halfway through the show.” Spitfire countered with a smirk, looking at Soarin like he was a naughty colt that needed some humility taught to him. “Still want to buck for a promotion for my job or can I pull out some other examples for you? I can think of a few more times can’t you Clipper?”
“Ha! You hear that Soarin? Spitfire thinks I’m Commander material!” Dash declared pridefully before Spitfire turned on her as well.your performances. You’re good Dash, one of the best. Don’t let that go to your head though. You may be a Wonderbolt but you’re not Commander yet.”
As the party went on a loud boom came from outside, causing the ponies inside to investigate the origin of the sound.
"Hey! Look everypony! It's a shooting star, let's make a wish," Pinkie said cheerly while pointing to a shining light cutting across the moonlit sky.
As the ponies stared in awe. They couldn't help but notice the star was coming towards them at an alarming speed.
"I'm no star geek, but I'm pretty sure that isn’t a shooting star, Pinkie," Rainbow Dash exclaimed as the star came closer and closer, before hearing it hit the ground below with a deafening boom.
"Whoa. That must have been one big rock to make a crater this big," Rainbow Dash exclaimed as she briefly looked from one end of the crater to the other.
"With any luck the meteor could be huge,which means more to examine. Think of all the research paper I could write!!" Twilight squealed in excitement.
"Ooh! perhaps, it may have some kind space jewelry inside," Rarity said, her eye sparkling as she imagined the different kinds of dresses she could make.
“Or maybe it's some sort of huge alien monster sent from another dimension to conquer Equestria!!!" Pinkie yelled both half scared and have excited.
"I hate to burst your bubble sugar cube, but that seems a bit far-fetched, don't you think?" Applejack interjected waving a hoof dismissively.
Rainbow Dash, being the “go-getter” type, flew down to the center of the crater, "Well, whatever it is, we won't know until we find out,” she had reached the center but couldn't see what lied ahead due to the large dust cloud that had yet to clear.
"Careful, Rainbow Dash! It could still be hot from entering the atmosphere!" Twilight yelled, trying to explain.
"Relax Twilight. I'll be fine. Besides, it's just some old space rock. What's the worst that could happen?" She laughed as she used her wings to blow some dust cloud away.
"ORITCOULDACTUALLYBEANANLIENTHATOPENSUPANDGRABSYOURFACEANDUTSABABYALIENTHATWILLGROWUNTILITPOPSOUTOFYOURCHEST!!!!!!!" Pinkie yelled as she began to take deep breath from speaking so fast. All the ponies looked at her with both confusion and concern "What? I saw it in a movie." she shrugged as she winked at the audience.
"Pinkie, who are you winking at?" Fluttershy quietly asked pinkie who was looking the other way .
"Oh, nopony. Hehehe!" she giggled. As the group wondered whether to take Pinkie Pie’s, albeit weird, suggestion seriously, Rainbow Dash had blown away the remaining dust, revealing a dark, spherical lump.
"Hey, Twilight. I think I found that meteor and it is huge." She grinned, turning back to her friend, but to her surprise, they all had a shocked look on their faces.
"Hey, what's the matter?I thought you girls were excited about this thing," she shouted pointing behind her. As she watched her friends turn slightly paler, she noticed Applejack gesturing with her hoof to turn around.
"Geez, what's the matter with you guys. It's just a roooo.....ck." As she turned to make her point her eyes locked to where the rock had been earlier, and notice it was taller than before. Her eyes widen as she slowly gazed up seeing the rock was no rock, but a creature that stood almost 6ft tall. It's long upper body was covered by the shadow.And as it moved to turn toward her, she could see it's dark brown eyes looking straight at her, its mouth open to breath showing a mouth with sharp canines .
"I KNEW IT WAS AN ALIEN, EVERYPONY RUN!!!!!" Pinkie screamed as she started running in the opposite direction of the crater. The creature looked up at the ponies at the top of the crater,and back to Rainbow Dash.
Rainbow Dash just froze as the creature crouch down close. "What are you?" Were the only words that escape from her lips before the creature push off and started to take flight.
As she watched, she noticed the mysterious creature had no wings to fly with,and questions raced through her brain "It can fly? How can it fly without wings?" She wondered as she saw two of the Wonderbolts flying after it.
"Hey Crash, get it together! We need to see what this thing is and if it's going to be a problem." Spitfire yelled passing over the crater following the other two pegasi in pursuit of the alien.
"Wah? Oh, right. I'm coming!!!" She said, snapping out of her daze, before getting her balance back as she took off in pursuit to rejoin her team.
As Rainbow Dash managed to catch up to Spitfire and the rest of the Wonderbolts, she was able to see the creature flying a head of them.
"Any idea what that thing is newbie?" Spitfire asked while gaining speed.
"No idea, but whatever it is, it's huge and can fly without wings." as she finished talking she started to flap her wings harder gaining more speed.
"Yeah. Tell me something I don't know. What I meant is what in Equestria is that thing?" Rolling her eyes she and Rainbow Dash caught up to the other Wonderbolts and began to fly in formation with her and Rainbow Dash in front and the other pegasi flying on either side of them.
As they soon were on its tail the creature looked back and started to dart in a different direction, making a sharp left. Rainbow and the others couldn't react fast enough before they stopped in midair,and stared flying after it again.
"Whatever that thing is it sure knows how to make sharp turns" Spitfire examined catching her breath while she and the others tried to get back on its tail.
As they flew after the mysterious creature, they found themselves over a huge lake,that shined under the moon's light. The creature flew low until its body was barely touching the water, causing the surface of the water to part ways .
"Oh no you don't. Not this time" she quickly banked to the right hard, leaving the group behind in hot pursuit of the creature.
Soon she and the creature was above a patch of trees they had apples in them
"Woah, we must be over Sweet Apple Acres." Her attention had been brought back to the creature, and she was about to grab what she assumed to be a....uhh... "Is that a tail?" Before she could even ponder this though, the creature turned itself around so it was facing her but still flying away. It's raised its arms to its face and yelled "SOLAR FLARE!!!"
A bright blinding light shined out of nowhere leaving Rainbow Dash blind. As she rubbed her eyes trying to relieve the spot she saw her vision came back only to see a red barn in front of her.
"OH BU!!!!!!" She yelled unable to fly away as she crashed into the barn, pushing her head into a room while the rest of her body was outside.
"What the hay,what going on?!" A small filly yelled looking around her room only to see Rainbow Dash's head above her bed.
"Oh, hey Applebloom....did you see an...alien go by?" Rainbow muttered as her head spun, and all she could see were twinkling lights and stars.
"Um are you okay Rainbow? Do you need a doctor?" Applebloom asked before helping the prismatic pegasus out of the wall only to have her pass out on the floor.
