From Xenoverse to Equestria

Parallel Quest Ten

Turn of Events

An hour has passed since Sunset and Belle gave the siren a tour of Canterlot High School. So far it was just a general tour around school. Getting familiar with which hallway to take to get to class, shortcuts to avoid students crowding the hallways during specific periods, and stairways to go to get to the lunchroom. Though the sense of uneasiness Belle was getting from the sirens didn’t leave the Saiyan. If anything, she was more on guard with them given the foul energy she was sensing from them. Normally she would’ve taken them out with just a strike to the back of their heads and kicked them out of the school. But she’s trying to keep a…somewhat low profile.

“And that’s pretty much it for the school tour,” Sunset said as the group tour ended near the entrance of the school. “Canterlot may not be that popular compared to most schools, but I’m sure you’ll like it here.”

“Oh yes, we sense there’s something magical about this place,” Adagio said as Belle noticed the sirens smirking. Just as Adagio turned her attention to the bulletin board, she noticed the flier about the musical event that was happening at the school. “Hello, what do we have here~?”

“Oh, I see you notice the Musical showcase that we’re having in Canterlot High.”

“A musical showcase~?”

“It’s kind of like a talent show, but with music,” Belle answered. “Not something I would be into, but I’ll go to support my friends.”

“Hm, well we have been known to sing from time to time,” Aria said as Sonata interrupted her.

“Hello, we sing like this all the time. It’s how we get people to do what we want, remember?” She said which caused Belle and Sunset to look at each other before looking over at Sonata. “What? What did I say?”

“What you meant to say was that being in a musical showcase sounds like a great way to meet new students,” Adagio said.

“Oh! Yeah! What she said was what I meant to say! That’s what I meant…to say.” Sonata said as Aria sighed and rolled her eyes in annoyance.

“And what you would’ve said if you weren’t the worst.”

“You are!” Sonata said as Adagio moved in front of the two.

“You’ll have to excuse them, they’re idiots.” She said which caused Aria and Sonata to huff in unison. There was an air of awkward silence before Sunset spoke up due to noticing the pendants around their necks.

“T-Those are pretty, where did you-” Before Sunset could touch Adagio’s pendant, she felt Adagio quickly grab her hand which took her by surprise.

“Oh, sorry,” Adagio said as she released her hold on Sunset’s wrist. “These pendants mean an awful lot to us. We just hate for anything to happen to them.” She said before motioning Aria and Sonata to follow after them. “If you’ll excuse us, we need to use the bathroom real quick. See you two at lunch~” With that, the trio went off to the girl’s bathroom, leaving Sunset and Belle alone in the hallway of the high school.

“Yep, they’re evil,” Belle said as she watched the sirens walk off.

“Are you sure?” Sunset asked as the Saiyan nodded.

“No doubt about it. We’ve been with them for a good hour. While Adagio and Aria are good at hiding their intentions, Sonata isn’t due to her letting out subtle hints.”

“You don’t think they’ll try to take over the school, do you?”

“Hard to say. They haven’t done anything that would be considered evil. But the moment they do try something, I’ll be sure to stop them.”

“...I’m afraid to ask, but you weren’t planning on hurting them with that laser beam thing like you used on Rarity…are you?”

“I’m not going to waste my energy on a bunch of weaklings that I can take out with just one punch,” Belle said before motioning her to follow her to the lunchroom. “Plus we need to talk about this to the others. Wouldn’t be fair if we just decide for ourselves how to deal with this problem.”

“I suppose you’re right about that,” Sunset said before following the Saiyan.

[Equestria, Canterlot Castle]

“Seriously? This is the best you could do?” Rutaba asked as she was currently holding a battered-up white alicorn by her throat. “A thousand years have passed since we last met each other, and this is what you’ve been reduced to? Pathetic!”

Canterlot, the once beautiful city that Princess Celestia ruled over for the past one thousand years was burning. Within mere seconds of their arrival on the planet Equis, Rutaba and Zamasu made their way over to Canterlot Castle, the castle was reduced to a burning mess of molten slag and dust. After having little to no effort in taking down the royal guards and finding out that the once powerful princess that left a slight scar on her body was reduced to that of a pacifistic pony. Needless to say, the reception that they received was…lack lustered, to say the least. More so for Rutaba who was even more angry seeing how she was hoping she would get in a good workout.

“A-After what happened all those years ago, I was hoping you wouldn’t return here,” Celestia said while trying to breathe within the Saiyan god’s grip.

“I’m a god of destruction. You think something like that magical beam of friendship is going to stop me.” She said before pointing a finger behind herself at the battered and bruised Twilight and her friends. “I mean, did you not see me knock that beam to the side that your student and friends tried to use on me?”

“W-Why are you even here in the first place?”

“Two reasons, the first was to see if you were at least still keeping up with your training. Which sadly seems that you haven’t. The other was to see the mirror world.” She said which caused Celestia’s eyes to widen in horror. “My assistant has been keeping an eye on that place, and there seems to be something rather interesting that caught my interest~”

“If you think I’m going to-” Before Celestia could finish, she felt her throat being squeezed which caused her to gasp for air.

“I doubt there’s anything you can do given your current power level. If you try to do anything, it would be nothing more than throwing a pebble at a waterfall.” She said before tossing Celestia onto the ground. “But feel free to come after me if you want…oh wait, you can’t. Because of some stupid rule, you made up just so you couldn’t let other magical beings into that world.”

“Y-You can’t go to that world! Doing so will upset the balance of-”

“You bore me to the point of not caring. I mean if you had put some kind of scratch on me, then I would take you seriously, but seeing how you failed at that, then you’re not worth my time.” She said before noticing Zamasu appearing next to them with the portal to the human world. “Oh good, you’re back. Was beginning to think that you got lost or something.”

“Apologies my lord, but I had a run-in with Celestia’s sister…needless to say it didn’t turn out so well for her when I teleported her to the other side of the planet,” Zamasu said before noticing Celestia on the ground. “I get the feeling that she didn’t put up much of a fight?”

“You guess right on that. Talk about a letdown within itself. She barely lasted ten minutes or so.” She said before walking over to Zamasu. “Did you get the mirror?”

“Indeed I have.” The kai said before snapping her fingers. In doing so, a mirror appeared next to them, causing Rutaba to grin in excitement.

“Excellent! I’m itching to see how the humans are doing on the other side.” Rutaba said before casually raising her hand to block an oncoming magical beam heading toward her face. A deadpan expression appeared on her face as she looked over at Celestia, who was staggering to her feet. “You really must be that stubborn to want me to kick your ass harder don’t you?”

“As long as I still stand, you won’t go anywhere, fiend!” Celestia yelled before trying to fire off another magical beam at the Saiyan god, only to be sent flying backward into a wall from a shockwave created by Zamasu.

“While I do respect that you would do anything to save your world or the next. You should know when you’re beat.” She said before placing a hand on the mirror as she activated it. “Portal is activated, my lord. Should I leave it open for Celestia to enter?”

“You can, but knowing her, she’ll end up sending someone else to do that fighting for her.” She said before noticing six ponies making their way to the throne room from a distance. “We’re leaving Zamasu.”

“Understood, my lord,” Zamasu said before following Rutaba through the mirror, just as Twilight and her friends entered the throne room. The kai looked over at the scene from the mirror as Twilight and her friends quickly rushed over to Celestia. The kai simply shook her head before quickly following Rutaba into the mirror portal. “You know, you could’ve gone easy on the poor mare, you know?”

“Perhaps, but I need to know if she still has that fighting spirit within her like she used to have all those years ago…Seems the years of being peaceful and living in a world of friendship and harmony can make a person weak.”

“I suppose, just don’t have any regrets when actions like these bite you in the butt later on~”

“Oh please. Like there’s going to be someone stronger than me besides the Omni king going to kick my ass. If there is someone in this universe that can, I’ll make them my personal training partner.”

“If you say so~,” She said as the duo continued their way through the magical tunnel that connected from Equestria to the Human world.

[Canterlot High School, Lunch Room]

The school bell rang as it indicated to some of the students that it was lunch period. As the students made their way either into the lunch room or in line to get their lunch, a familiar group of girls and Saiyan would be off to the far end of the lunch room. Not because they didn’t want to be near other people, but would prefer not to cause a panic or worse. Think that Sunset was up to something evil.

“So y’all mean to tell me that we have a group of evil villains in our school?” Applejack asked as Belle waved her hand sideways a bit.

“I wouldn't say they’re evil as of yet. But they did give off an evil energy along with a slight hint of magic. Meaning that they might be from Sunset’s world.”

“Well, taking them down shouldn’t be a problem for us, right?” Rainbow Dash asked while cracking her knuckles. “Especially with you on our side, you can mop the floor with them no problem.”

“I have no problem dealing with this matter. I just find it kind of disappointing if this threat isn’t as strong as I wanted it to be.”

“Why on Earth would you want them to be strong?” Rarity asked before noticing Belle’s deadpan expression.

“I’m a Saiyan. Like I said in fourth period. I want to push myself to the next level. To see what lies beyond the next fight. Fighting against a bunch of weaklings that can’t even put up much of a fight…kind of leave a bad taste in my mouth.”

“Plus you are trying to keep a low profile as being a normal student,” Fluttershy added. “Getting into a fight would cause some problems…I think?”

“Who cares? I’m sure Principal Celestia would understand once we explain to her what’s going on.” Rainbow Dash said as Sunset shook her head.

“That might be hard to do. Belle said that she was giving off the same strange energy as the new girls. So something might have happened to her when she was left alone with Adagio, Aria, and Sonata.”

“So, what? We’re just supposed to do nothing and let them take over the school?”

“Maybe we can convince them not to do that? I mean we were able to do that with Sunset after blasting with the power of friendship after she became a raging demon.” Pinkie Pie said before noticing Sunset’s deadpan expression. “No offense.”

“None taken,” Sunset said after rolling her in annoyance. “Look, the point is that we can’t just attack them off the bat. We need proof that they’re evil, otherwise, we’ll be in more trouble if we’re wrong. We should wait until they make a move.”

“And when will that happen? We can’t just stalk them for who knows how long.” Applejack said while tilting her hat a bit. “Not to mention, I’m pretty sure none of us have any classes with them.”

“We can’t, but a certain alien girl can~,” Pinkie Pie said as everyone looked over at Belle.

“Okay, I can sense where the girls are, but I can’t see what they’re doing,” Belle said while leaning back in her seat. “Though if there is a spike in their energy to where it becomes a problem, I will take them down without a second thought.

“Well, that’s good to know. But for now, we’ll have to play the waiting game. I mean, it’s not like they’re going to do something evil anytime soon due to being new students and all.” Sunset said as she noticed Rarity’s neutral expression. “What?”

“...I get that you don’t believe in Murphy's law or karma, but you need to learn not to say stuff like that.”

“The day I start believing in stuff like that will be the day pigs learn how to-” Before Sunset could finish her sentence, the doors to the lunchroom slammed open. Sunset along with Belle, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Applejack, Rarity, and Pinkie Pie turned their attention to the doorway. Upon seeing the Sirens making their way into the cafeteria, the girls looked over at Sunset with raised eyebrows. “-fly…this proves nothing!”

“It…kind of does,” Fluttershy said before quickly shrinking in her seat from Sunset’s glare.
