Hey guys thanks to all of you who voted and gave your opinions. I'll be uploading this rewrite chapter with a few days in between them, I want to make sure that I spell check them and make sure they make sence. And a big shout out to sword master for helping me.
Chapter 1
Night time in Equestria, the moon was a perfect crescent shape, shining its light upon the world below and on a city in the clouds, Cloudsdale where the Twilight and the Wonderbolts celebrate the anniversary of Rainbow Dash and her time in amongst the Wonderbolts. "Let give a big ol cheer for Rainbow." Applejack raised a mug of cider in one hand while the other was around Rainbow Dash’s shoulders.
Dash blushed, and playfully pushed Applejack’s arm off. "Hehe thanks, guys. It means a lot that I get to share this night with you, and my teammates," she replied taking a swig of her cider.
A Pegasus with a yellow coat and bright orange mane wearing a blue and yellow jumpsuit. She had an air that demanded respect when she entered the room, she walked up to Rainbow and gave her a proper slug on the shoulder in honor of her achievement. Spitfire had decided before the occasion to leave her uniform on along work the other members Fleetfoot, and Soarin attended the party
Tonight was different though as it was a time to kick back and enjoy the company of friends and her 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. “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 the routine 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.
“Don’t think you’re off the hook Crash.” She chuckled to which Dash shuffled her hooves nervously and avoided the knowing gaze of her Commander. “I’ve got plenty to say about 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.”
“Wha’, Dash lettin’ her head get too big?” Applejack laughed from outside the conversation. “Never!” Applejack was a earth pony mare who wore a red flannel shirt under a pair of blue jeans overalls and a seton hat at top her blond mane. Dash blew her a raspberry and stick out her tongue causing the farm pony to chuckle.
Dash took the time to chat with all her friends and teammates. Attendings said party were the following. The princess of friendship Twilight Sparkle who wore a purple skirt a white button up shirt with a violet vest. The animals lover Fluttershy who had a green turtleneck sweater and tan pants. Next was the party mare pinkie pie who wore a light blue tank top with white stripes and blue Jean shorts. And finally the fashionista pony Rarity, she wore a black sweater with black shorts and leggings with a pink beret
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, causing the ponies to scatter as the shooting start quickly went through the clouds, in a few more they heard it hit the ground below with a deafening boom. The girls looked over the edge of the clouds and saw a smoke rising from somewhere on the ground near the Everfree Forest.
As the group made their way down to the crash site where the meteor had landed in the Everfree Forest, they soon saw the enormous crater that had been made by the impact.
"Whoa. That must have been one big space 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 focusing her magic in her horn as it glowed and she summoned a quill and paper.
"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 there 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 clouds of dust that had yet to clear.
"Careful, Rainbow Dash! It could still be hot from entering the atmosphere!" Twilight yelled, trying to warn her friend from being reckless.
"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 away.
"OR IT COULD ACTUALLY BE AN ANLIEN THAT OPENS UP AND GRABS YOUR FACE AND PUTS A BABY ALIEN THAT WILL GROW UNTIL IT POPS OUT YOUR CHEST!!!!!!!" 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 from the group.
"Oh, nopony. Hehehe!" she giggled. As the group wondered whether or not to take Pinkie Pie’s, albeit weird, suggestion seriously, Rainbow Dash had blown away the remaining dust, revealing a dark, large lump.
"Hey, Twilight. I think I found that meteor, and it is huge guess you'll be able to nerd out huh?" She grinned, turning back to her friend, but to her surprise, they all had a shocked look on their faces, Fluttershy and Pinkie's seemed a bit more paler.
"Hey, what's the matter?I thought you girls were excited about this thing," she shouted pointing behind her. As she watched her friends as they continue to grow paler, until she noticed Applejack gesturing with her hand for her 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 a foot taller then herself. It's tall body was covered by the black dust that covered everything but its eyes. And as it moved to toward her, she could see it's eyes looking straight at her, its mouth open to breath showing a mouth with sharp canines.
"I KNEW IT WAS AN ALIEN, EVERYPONY RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!!!!" 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 tilting its head.
Rainbow Dash just froze as the creature crouch leaned close. "What are you?" Were the only words that escape from her lips before the creature push off the ground 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 quickly caught 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 as tall as us and can fly without wings." Dash began to flap her wings harder as tired to increase her speed to catch up with Fleetfoot and Soarin.
"Yeah,tell me something I didn't already. What I meant is what in Equestria is that thing?" Rolling her eyes as she and Rainbow Dash caught up to the other two 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 gaining 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 mid air ,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 glistened under the moonlight. The creature flew low until its body was barely touching the water, causing the surface of the water to part ways. "Now's our chance! Everypony, dive!" The rest of the group nodded as they folded their wings in and made their decent. As the dove, they began to pick up incredible speed until they right on top of it. The creature looked back and saw the four anthropomorphic ponies gaining on it and started to pick up speed. In a quick movement, it dove under the water, causing the water to shoot up spraying the pegasi in the face. The water splashed with powerful force hitting their bodies, causing them to fall into the lake. Rainbow Dash, however was a bit higher up then the others and remained airborne. She watched as it had made another sharp turn this time going to the right.
"Oh no you don't. Not this time!" She quickly banked to the right, leaving the group behind in hot pursuit of the creature.
Soon she and the creature were above a patch of trees they had apples in them as far as the eye could see. "Woah, we must be over Sweet Apple Acres." Her attention had been brought back to the creature, once she saw how close she was, she flapped her wings hard. Once she was close enough she reached her hand out ,and was about to grab what she assumed to be a it's. "Is that a tail?" Before she could even ponder this thought, the creature turned body so it was facing her but still flying away. It 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's going on?!" A small filly yelled looking around her room only to see Rainbow Dash's head above her bed.
"Rainbow what are doing up there?" Applebloom asked tilting her head.
"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.
Mlp: A Saiyan Among Ponies (anthro)
The sun rose across the horizon, shining its light down upon Ponyville. A beam of morning light passed through a window landing upon the unconscious Pegasus that was Rainbow Dash. The glowing light of the sun backed the plain painted hospital room. Her injuries from the previous night had been bandaged and cared for by the family she had startled in the middle of the night by literally crashing into their home. The bandaged blue Pegasus now dressed in hospital gown groaned, and shifted her body slowly as she cracked her eyes open confused as to what had happened.
"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 the memories of last night events played in her head, causing painful memories flood into her head. Quickly, she sat up and tried to figure out what had happened only to lay back down, groaning in pain from her many injuries. She could already tell what was either broken or bruised. Fortunately, her wings didn't suffer much damage from the crash.
"Okay...let’s see what happened. I chased it down past Sweet Apple Acres, and next thing I knew, there was a bright light and then...." She groaned again, clutching her pain filled head with her hands. "Oh...yeah. I flew into the barn and got knocked out. Ugh! So not cool..."
She heard the door slam open and turned to see her friends filing into the room, circling her bed with looks of deep concern. Thankfully nobody else seemed to have been hurt by the alien which eased some of Dash’s 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 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 shouted, getting a bit too close for Dash’s comfort, and her loud voice was only making her headache worse.
"I'm fine, you guys. It doesn't even hurt that bad." She lied trying to hide the pain, before looking over to Applejack with a look of guilt on her face. "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 sometime now," Applejack chuckled giving her a dismissive wave of her hand and a wink. "You just saved me half th’ trouble, sugarcube."
Dash smiled, feeling a little bit better; she saw that Spitfire was standing behind the group with a look of defeat, one she knew all too well, though she would never admit that. But considering how well Spitfire was well known for keeping her cool and having a good poker face, so that could only mean something happened while she was unconscious. “Something wrong, boss?" She asked after sitting up slowly to better look at her. Spitfire’s frown deepened.
"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 was silent by this news. All the ponies soon began to wonder. What kind of creature could out fly the Wonderbolts, and disappear without a trace? Soon more questions danced around in their head, why was it here? What will it do next? Is it a threat to Equestria and all who live in it?
Twilight could see that everyone was a bit nervous and decided to try and gain as much information about this mysterious being. Summoning a quill and parchment paper, she turned her attention to Dash. "So Dash, since you were the closest one to it, did you happen to get a good look at what it was you were chasing?"
Dash closed her eyes, folded her arms in front of her chest, and tilted her head trying to remember the details through the haze of pain throbbing in her bandaged head. "Hmm...well he stands on two legs like us and has two arms too." She closed her eyes, trying to remember when she how tall it was. "It was just as tall as me if but maybe a few inches taller. And it could fly without wings."
Twilight furiously wrote down every word that Dash spoke not wanting to miss any details that could give her a better understanding of what it is they were dealing with. "Uh-huh, and is that it? Were there any other features that stood out? Anything that you can remember will be able to help us."
Dash tried to think of everything that happened before she crashes into the barn. Then the last thing she remembered seeing before the flash of light. "Oh! And it had a tail."
Twilight quirked a brow hearing this. "A tail? You mean like ours?"
Dash shook her head. "No, it was long and thin; it reminded me of a monkey's tail." She could see that her friends were giving her questionable looks. "Hey, I'm just telling you what I saw." She held out her hands defensively.
"Hmm, I feel like I've heard or seen something like this before, but I can't seem to remember from where." Twilight paced back and forth as she held her chin on her hand as she was deep in thought.
Everything about the situation was bizarre to the scholar alicorn. She had checked and rechecked and rechecked her astronomy notes from the previous night and was positive that she had not seen any signs that a meteor was anywhere near hurtling through space bound for Equestria. With her enchanted telescope, she could see far enough to the other planets, by this logic she should have seen this mysterious meteor days ago if not months ago. No...it had somehow appeared out of nowhere, but that wasn’t logical at all now was it? Twilight found this whole situation odd when it came to astronomy science had never failed her, now she had to admit defeat as it has passed and something new was in Equestria.
Decide that she had enough of the topic and could easily see that it was making everyone upset Rarity voiced her thoughts. "Well, there's no point wondering about that dreadful creature," Rarity said, fluffing Rainbow’s pillow with manic, 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," 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 you’re 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 who bid their friends farewell.
====================================
Soon the daylight began to fade as the sun was slowly setting across the mountain, casting shadows down onto Ponyville. Rainbow Dash was now left alone in the room staring up at the ceiling in sheer boredom. From time to time, she would adjust the ice pack to fit more comfortably on her head, but otherwise had nothing else to do to keep her occupied. She regretted not asking Twilight for a Daring Do book to help her pass the time. All she could do was watch as the lights that was slowly fading caused the shadows of objects to move until finally, it was night time.
As she laid there, awake and unable to sleep due to the pain, she realized that she had left out some crucial details that Twilight should have known. The first was the way the creature looked at her when it was in the crater, and just before she was about to grab it by the tail. It looked at her with curiosity as it tilted its head, and a bit worried when she nearly had it by the tail. Then she remembered that just before she could grab it by the tail that it moved its hands over its face and closed its eyes before it shouted 'SOLAR FLARE!!' And then seeing the light so bright it had been like Celestia sun had appeared 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 throbbing once more. The ice pack had lost its coolness not too 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 out of the corner of her eye, she could have sworn she had seen something move by her window. She stared at the window for a good minute before shrugging her shoulders. "Must have been my imagination or something," She shrugged again, leaning back against her pillow and started at plain white hospital room wishing for something, anything to help take her mind off 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 by pressing the button by her bed 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 going to be the death of me,” She moaned as she tried to rub the pain away with her hand, 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. “Wish I had have asked Twilight for a Daring Do book."
With no signs of her falling asleep, she looked around, decided to take in the little details of the hospital room seeing as she had nothing better to do. She took in every little detail, but nothing helped her escape 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. "Heh. Bet Fluttershy would like that poster."
She chuckled, continuing her scan of the room. As she did, her eye had locked onto the window for the second time today when she thought she saw something move by it. This time she could have sworn she saw something at the window again. 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 since the sun had already gone down and the lights for the room weren’t on at the moment.
"Heh, look at me all scared for nothing! It's not like that thing is waiting by my window."
In her imagination, she could see it now. That the alien was at her window looking in from the outside within the shadow of darkness the perfect time to be all sneak through the town and creep its way over to her window, it was a classic horror movie cliché after all!
There was always at least one scene in any of those movies where the killer body could be seen in the frame of the window as all you could see was its silhouette with some scary music playing in the background trying to add more suspense before the jump scare. '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.' She boasted, knowing her pride would never allow it.
"Next thing you know it’s going to decide to open the window and let itself in, ha-ha!” She chuckled to herself, laying back in bed and looking back at the ceiling to occupy herself once more. She continued to laugh at how ridiculous the idea was. The idea that it would track her down when she was alone and vulnerable in the dark was too far-fetched. Dash whipped her brow as she was starting to feel warm being covered by the sheets, and her aching headaches was burning as well. 'I wish Rarity's ice pack were still cold; it is way too hot in here.
Dash soon felt a cool breeze wash over her, bring her overheated body some much-needed relief. For Dash, feeling this gentle breeze was almost like a good friend, one that she knew anytime she would fly. Even now, while she was cooped up in her hospital room neglected by the nurse who was supposed to be taking care of her, the breeze still found a way to her make her feel better. "Mm, that feels nice, it was getting warm in here. Good thing the window was open already, or I just might have died of a heat attack or whatever they called it." She sighed, enjoying the cool evening breeze that lightly touched her face and cooled her skin. As she closed her eyes savoring this blessing, she remembered that she hadn't opened the window and that no one had come in to check on her since her friends had left some hours before. So how could there be a breeze coming through a closed window? Slowly she looked back to the window only to see it was open, and that something was standing directly on the other side. The moon's light created the shadow of a tall silhouette.
Dash felt her heart racing as her eyes never moved away from the window. She could only watch as whatever was outside her window stood there. But then she remembered something; her room was on the third floor, there were no ledges for someone or something to stand or climb on. Her heart sank as the silhouette move, and she could see what she imagined to be the head moving down, looking inside. She watched as it stared at the door that was on the right side of the room adjacent from the window, and slowly it turned its head until it was directly looking at her. Even though it was dark outside Dash could still see its eyes, a chill went down her as she saw that both its iris and retina are black.
Her heart nearly slipped a beat as she watched it slip its head inside, and soon, the rest of its body followed. Its hand gripped the inside of the window frame as its legs slipped in until it was standing in the room. Dash wanted to yell for help, but her fear overtook her as the alien slowly walked towards her, she couldn't even hear its footsteps as if it were a phantom.
Dash wanted to get out and run for help, but her body wasn't responding to her commands as the creature slowly made its way closer to her. Many questions plagued Rainbow Dash's mind as she watched the alien make its way to her. 'Why is it here? Why is it in this room? Why is it in my room?!’ Again Dash tried to move her body but to no avail. Within seconds the tall figure stood over her staring down at the injured pegasus.
The creature slowly crouched down until it was eye level with the cyan mare. Dash, in her fear-driven state, was able to take in more of this mystery aliens features. It had broad shoulder and spikey hair, due to how dark the room was she couldn't see its face, only its dark eyes. The figure eyes slowly scanned her body and turned its head until it stopped, and was looking at something at the side of her bed. Dash took a quick look to see what it was that it was staring at and saw the ice pack Rarity had made for her. She glanced back to see that the alien was looking at her again.
As the questions raced through her mind, it approached her bed and bent over. 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 break its gaze, she noticed it turning its head to look back at the ice pack and then back to her again. Watching she noticed it tilting its head looking at the bruise on her head.
To break the eerie silence and to figure out why it was here, Dash summoned up all the courage her to speak. “What...d-do..w-want?" She stuttered her as her body was shaking.
As if in response to her question, she saw it turn its head to the side, and saw its 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 state, she was caught off by this. To confirm her question, it nodded its head and then brought one of its hand up and made a gesture of putting the bean into it then quickly pointing to her. Rainbow Dash’s eyes widen as she could see a row of incisors and sharp canines in its mouth. She found her voice weakening as she tried to ask her next question "Y-you want me t-to eat t-that?" It nodded once more, "Why?"
The alien didn't respond immediately, as it stood there crouched down staring elsewhere as though it was thinking leaving Dash to wait in silence to receive her answer. The silence didn’t last long as she could hear it breathe in. "It will heal your injuries." Rainbow Dash's jaw dropped. It could speak. It could talk! It was deep, giving the impression that it was male. Before she could say else, it inhales and spoke again "This will remove any pain you feel and restore you to full health." Hearing it speak yet again helped her confirm that it was male, and judging the tone she could tell that it was young seeing as its voice pitch was much lower to Big Mac’s but slightly deeper than Soarin's.
For the next few moments Dash considered its offer, she was, of course, skeptical about the whole thing, but then she remembered that it hadn't done anything to harm her or her teammates. True it did knock her teammates into the water, but all that happened was they got wet and had to dry off. And it only flashed that bright light to get away from her, and though she hated to admit it she could have stopped flying when she knew she couldn't see, but she was reckless and did so anyway.
She decided to take a leap fate and to pray to Celestia that she wouldn’t die, Dash closed her eyes and opened her mouth and waited. She felt something enter her mouth and inspected it with her tongue first; it was small and smooth. “Now carefully chew and swallow." She heard the alien speak once more; she couldn't get over the way it sounded, almost like it a normal pony and not some weird techno voice like in the movies.
Listening to the alien's words, she carefully began to chew the bean and noticed that while it did make an audible crunch, it had no particular flavor. Once she believed that she had chewed it thoroughly, she slowly swallowed and waited for a reaction. For a moment, she felt no different than earlier. She patiently waited for something, anything to happen. Feeling rather annoyed that nothing had happened Dash was about to voice her questions when she had finally noticed that all the pain in her body was nonexistent. She dared to tempt fate Dash raised her right hand to rub the bump on her head that had been the source of her pain earlier. The moment that her hand came into contact with her head, she flinched on reflects. However, there was no pain whatsoever. Tempting fate, she rubbed her hand harder half expecting the pain to return quickly, but to both her surprise and delight, there was no pain to speak of. Next, she moved her body a bit to see if the pain in the rest of her body was gone, and once again to her delight, it was and as if it never existed.
"Hey, the pain! It's all gone!" She cheered, opening her eyes ready to thank the mystery alien, only to see that it was gone. "Where did he..?" She looked all around her and drew her attention back to the window, but she found it closed. 'Did he go out the window when I had my eyes closed?'
She could hear the sound of hooves clopping on tiles from the other side of the door, and soon a nurse with snow white coat and light pink mane walked in and turned on the light while pushing a little cart. "Sorry Miss Dash for keeping you waiting so long, we're a bit short staffed today." Dash had nearly forgotten that she had called for a nurse. She looked back at the window half expecting to catch a glimpse of the alien one last time. "So Miss Dash, shall I change the ice in your ice pack for you?" Red Heart asked, pulling a bucket of ice out from her cart.
"No, thanks. I'm feeling a lot better now." Without looking away from the window, Dash answered the nurse. 'Why did he help me?'

Hey guys thanks for waiting here is the next chapter. Special thanks to Sword Master for editing.
Chapter 4
Chapter 4
As all the commotion from the battle started to die down, the residents of Ponyville started to peak out of their homes to see that all the Timberwolves were gone. Slowly, everypony made their way to the schoolhouse and noticing the unknown being stand next to Dash, Derpy, and her daughters. They were hesitant of this strange and mysterious creature. It looked similar to them but without fur and had ears on the side of its head. Was it friendly, or could it be worse than the Timberwolves they all wondered?
"So, umm... Dash was it? What now? “Goken asked, tilting his head, not sure what to do now that everyone could see him. He felt a sense of unease as anthropomorphic equines were slowly drawing nearer and watching him.
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 Goken as she approached him, her face was expressionless but carried no ill-will towards the stranger before her.
Once she was close enough, Twilight took a deep breath and exhaled before speaking. "Hello, I am Twilight Sparkle, Princess of Friendship." She lowered her head to give him a small bow, causing the citizens to gasp as a member of royalty had bowed before the unknown being. "We thank you for helping our friend and saving Derpy's daughter." Raising her head, she looked at Goken to see how he would respond.
For a moment, the atmosphere was quiet with a bit of tension in the air, as everypony waited with bated breath to see how this stranger would react.
Goken broke the silence as he took a breath in. "It is an honor to make your acquaintance, Princess Twilight." With a swift movement, Goken shifted his right foot forward, and his left leg back as he kneeled. He moved his right arm over his chest, with his left arm behind his back as he bowed to Twilight. “My name is Son Goken, and it is my pleasure to meet you all."
With those words alone, Goken broke the ice. The mood had shifted to a calmer and relaxed environment from those words. Twilight exhaled, loudly, as if she averted a major war. Slowly, she regained her composure and straightened her posture and stepped forward towards Goken. “It's nice to meet you too, Goken, and we welcome you to our home." Twilight extended her hand as a sign of friendship.
Goken stood back up and carefully grasped her hand and shook it. "I feel honored, you’re Majesty, by both your kindness and your welcome." He lifted her hand, Goken gently placed a kiss on Twilight's hand, causing a blush across her muzzle, as well as 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 her 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, Goken gave everypony a warm smile. "It's nice to meet you, Twilight, and everyone else." The air went from being tense, too cheerful in a matter of seconds, as Goken's formal attitude changed to a more relaxed and loose one.
(Castle of Friendship)
Goken marveled at the inside of the crystal castle, turning he looked all around him trying to soak in every little detail. From the purple crystal walls to the green and yellowish stained-glass windows that shimmered in the sunlight. "Man this place is huge and so...crystally,” Goken chuckled as he walked down the halls with Twilight, and friends behind.
Rainbow leaned over to Twilight as she spoke in a whisper so that Goken couldn't hear her. “So what do we do now, since well you know him being here and all?"
"For now, let's just let him get comfortable before we start asking questions," Twilight whispered back while keeping an eye on him. Dash nodded and turned her attention back to Goken as he walked through a set of doors that lead to the map room.
"Whoa. Check out this table, it's huge, “Goken marveled as he ran up to a table 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 needs to be solved." A small yet scratchy voice answered, from nowhere.
Goken was caught off guard and looked up. "Who said that?" Turning his head left to right, he scanned the room, but couldn't find the source of the voice, until he felt a tug at his pant leg.
"Down here." Once again, the voice answered. Turning his attention down to where he felt the tug originated from, Goken saw a creature by his feet; it had a purple shirt, green pants, and green spikes at the top of its head.
"Um, hello there?" Goken said a bit confused by the sudden appearance of this creature. Kneeling to get a better look at it, “So what are you? A lizard?" He asked, gently petting his head.
"Hey, dragon. DRAGON!" He said, raising his arms to look intimidating. "Not lizard, I don't do that tongue thing." He folded his arms across his chest and stuck tongue. "And the name is Spike."
"Oh sorry, little guy... I mean Spike. Didn't mean to upset you." Goken let out a small chuckle as he watched the little dragon act tuff.
Spike snorted causing smoke to 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 her smirk.
Leaning against the table, Goken folded his arms and looked to his new friends. "So I take it you guys must have several questions that you want to ask. So I'll answer any that you may have."
Spike facepalmed as he looked over to Goken "Famous last words, dude.” Spike did a little salute. "It was nice knowing you." Before Goken could ask what spike meant, he immediately had Twilight mere inches away from his face.
“I HAVE A TON OF QUESTIONS. OH, WHERE DO I BEGIN!!!!?” Twilight moved closer to Goken, 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 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.
Goken found himself lying on the table now as Twilight bombarded him with questions, "Whoa there, Twilight. Take it easy." Placing a finger to Twilight’s muzzle. Goken 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 realized the position she was in and stood up with a light blush. "Heh, sorry about that. I get excited when it comes to learning new things." Twilight friends all started to giggle at this truth and made their way to their seats.
"Okay to make this fair I'll answer any questions you have, in return I'd like to have mined answered first if that's okay with you guys?" Goken 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 to him while easing back into her chair.
Goken nodded as he composed himself and looked towards twilight once more. "I only have three questions so far." Holding up three fingers, Goken 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 patched?" He asked, pointing to the symbol that was right around the pony’s hip areas.
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 Goken giving him her full attention. "To answer your first question you're in the land of Equestria ruled by Princess Celestia and Princess Luna." Goken simply nodded and waited for the rest of his questions to be answered, though he knew later on that he would have more, but the three he asked were the ones he had to know.
"As for your second question,we are the Elements of Harmony. We represent the Elements of Friendship. Honesty, Loyalty, Generosity, Kindness, Laughter, and Magic." Twilight pointed to each of the corresponding elements that the ponies represented.
Scratching the back of his head Goken felt like he had more questions than answers. ‘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 the mark on hip of her skirt, her muzzle was a deeper shade of red having to point to that practical area of her body, especially to a member of the opposition sex.
Goken quirked a brow in response."I'm sorry… cutie marks? So what are they, some kind of decoration or something?" This question causes some other ponies to snicker a bit.
"No they're... um...well, they represent individual talents. See, when a pony finds their calling in life, they get their cutie mark based on whatever that calling may be." She began to point to the individual ponies around the table starting with Applejack. “Whether it be farming apple's,” next was Fluttershy, “helping animals in need,” next, she pointed to Rarity, “finding gemstones,” her hoof moved to Pinkie Pie next, “planning parties for others and making them happy,” finally she reached Rainbow Dash, who was leaning in her chair more with her hind leg on the table trying to look cool, “or being really fast." Dash gave him a smug grin. "Everypony has their own unique set of skills."
Goken simply leaned against the wall taking the time to process all the information that he had gotten. Breathing in, he moved away from the wall and back to the table.
"Well, I'm a man of my word, so now I'll answer any and all questions that you have for me. I'll answer to the best of my abilities that is." Twilight's eyes sparkled as she levitated a quill and an abnormally large stack of parchment. "And please one question at a time, otherwise I won't be able to give you a proper answer." With that said, Twilight lowered the large stack and picked up one piece.
"Hehe. Sorry, force of habit." That earned a chuckle from both Goken, and her friends.
"Okay first question is, what are you exactly? I've seen a being like you before, but they didn't have the abilities that you have." This question had the whole table's attention as they all stared at Goken, waiting for his response.
Raising his hand to his chin, Goken took a moment to word his answer. "Well, see, now that's a bit complicated, but for now, you can refer me as a Saiyan." Looking at 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, Goken we didn't mean for that come out rude or anything." Rubbing the back of her head, Twilight apologized to Goken in hopes not to upset him.
Raising his hand, he waved it to let her know he takes no offense. "It's fine, don't worry about it. Now then as for the whole Saiyan thing." Clearing his throat, Goken continued to explain. "The Saiyans are a warrior race built and designed for battle. They carve battle and live for the thrill of it, and with every battle, we get stronger. However, I am only half Saiyan."
Twilight raises her hoof to which Goken nodded for her to ask her questions. "What's the other half then?" The scratching of a quill on parchment paper echoed the room 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 for this to make sense; I'll be starting with the homeworld of
the Saiyans and its destruction." The room was silent as everypony was
caught off by those last words.
"A long time ago, 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 Goken was making sure they were still able to follow along. "The kingdom was home to the Saiyans. 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 in shock. Never before had they heard of such cruelty.
"What the BUCK!?" Dash,slammed her fist onto the table in an outburst. "So what, they just went around ending innocent lives and then what? They sell it for money like it's no big deal!?" Rainbow eyes flared by these words and glared at Goken with a hint of disgust and rage, Goken nodded in shame at her question.
Before she could continue her rant, Twilight placed a hand 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 with you 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, Goken,” Her quill ready to write once more, Twilight gave her full attention to him again.
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 hand once more. Only now she looked like a child would 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 cases there ki energy.” Twilight raises her hoof again only to have Goken held up his to signal her to wait. “Before you ask, ki energy is the life force that flows through all things living, and every living thing has it.” Twilight lowered her hand and started to write everything down.
"The method in which they did this was through devices that they would wear, that could tell them what their opponents power level was at. By doing so they could accurately determine how much power they could use when fighting." Twilight's quill continued to scratch along the parchment paper as she listened to Goken 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 an infant saiyan instead."
"They would send their own babies?!" Fluttershy yelled abruptly before covering her mouth by the sudden outburst she made.
"Yes, they would. It was a terrible thing they would do, but Saiyan's come with an instinctive survival senses. Either they would use said instincts to survive to re-join their fellow Saiyans or…" He paused for a moment.
"Or what?" Twilight asked, eagerly, for him to continue.
"Or they would die from being too weak." The ponies in the room let out a collective gasp of shock. "I know. That was my initial response, as well. But that might have been how my story could have begun. You see, the Saiyans sent my father 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." He answered in a cold tone, which had everypony's full attention, even Rainbow Dash snapped her attention back to the conversation. "The planet along with the Saiyan race 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? The Saiyan would have proven to be powerful allies." Twilight asked baffled by this.
"Well, you're right about that Twilight, for the Saiyan had fought for Frieza with unbridled loyalty. However, at some point, Frieza started to notice that more and more Saiyan children were being born with tremendously high power levels. Within a few years, a single Saiyan could have possibly overpowered his army."
"Frieza knew that if this continued that the Saiyans that he ruled over would eventually try to overthrow him. So he decided that he would put an end to the Saiyan race once and for all." Many of the mares seemed terrified as Goken described the villain’s actions.
"So he called King Vegeta for a meeting, and an order for all Saiyans to return to the planet, little did the king of his subjects know that this would mark the end for them and their race. When King Vegeta arrived for his meeting had believed Frieza had wanted to discuss something of importance, but in actuality, he walked to his execution. Without so much as a warning, Frieza killed the king, and proceed into the planet's atmosphere. With no idea, their lives were about to end the Saiyans treated it as nothing. Once Frieza was in position, he summoned a massive ball of energy and sent it towards the planet below and upon impact destroyed it in its entirety."
The room became incredibly silent. For the ponies, the idea of a being who could destroy an entire planet with no sense of mercy sent a chill down their spines. Everypony remained silent until Applejack broke the silence. "But ya did say some of them Saiyans survived, right?"
Goken expression shifted from one of dreads to a pleasant smile. "Yes. You see there were a few Saiyans who were off-world at the time, one of which was the prince Vegeta and his fellow Saiyans Nappa and Raditz. And of course, there was my father Goku who had left the planet as a baby. And where our story truly begins.
For the next hour, Goken told Twilight and her friends of the adventure his father and the friends he made along the way. From the day he met Bulma to when he defeated King Piccolo and his son. The day he learned of his Saiyan original from his brother to the battle with Kid Buu. To the most recent events such as the battle with Beerus the God of Destruction, to the universe survival battles that was The Tournament of Power. And with each story, the ponies hung on every word in anticipation.
With every story of his father's adventure, the mares around the table and spike were either amazed by the adventures that the Z Warriors had, to the tears from the loss that his friends had suffered. And when he regaled them of the epic battle that his father and brothers had faced, they were on the edge of their seats as he described the fights that took place in his universe.
As he finished telling the last of his friend’s adventures, he smiled at the reaction of all the mares in the room. From Twilight’s who eyes sparkled as she wrote down every little detail, enough that she had a foot of papers written down.
And then there was Rainbow Dash who looked like she came down from an adrenaline high. "That is 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. What with being able to make clothes with just his mind,” Rarity trailed seeming only to 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 a level of a deity!! 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 that I've meant to ask," Rainbow asked, looking past Twilight.
"Shoot." Goken 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 that caused the room to go quiet, and everypony looked to her as if that question was a taboo. “What? It's a legit question. I'm only asking because from what he told us his dad didn't seem like he would ever have another kid? And he hardly spent time with the ones he already had."
"RAINBOW DASH!!!!" Applejack yelled from across the table irritated by the very thought of thinking such a thing, let alone 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 slammed her fist onto the table, glaring at the rainbow mare.
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.” Goken raised his hands to calm the farm pony down.
"I take no offense at all, and to answer your question, Rainbow," Goken turned his head so that he was talking directly to Dash," My dad decided that our universe needed a more capable fighter in case something like the Tournament of Power 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."
"I see, that's fascinating. Oh, now I have even more questions." Twilight squealed happily causing her wings to flutter a bit. "Alright next, I was hoping to ask some questions in regards to your biology and culture, more specifically about the Saiyan portion if possible?" Twilight noted trying to find out more about the warrior race.
"Oh yeah, ask away. Anything you want to know, ask away." He answered, coolly, as he placed one hand on the table leaning on it with his legs crossed.
"So how do you Saiyans reproduce?" Twilight asked with a straight face, causing Goken's hand to slip and fall to the ground with his legs in air twitching. Goken wasn't the only one who was affected by Twilight's quest as all the mares in the room had a deep blush across their muzzles.
Quickly getting back up Goken glanced at the lavender alicorn with a face as red as an apple.
"Whoa, whoa! I know I said I'd answer any question, but that is a bit...." Before he could finish, he saw that Twilight was trying to hold back a fit of giggles by covering her mouth with her hands.
"That was payback for when I gave you that kiss on the hand earlier, isn't it?" He added, dryly, as Twilight nodded soon bursting into laughter by both Goken's and her friend's reactions. The rest of the ponies started to laugh as well, making the mood in the room much lighter and more relaxed.
Finally, after she and her friends had finished laughing, Twilight was able to collect her composure. "So, back to my real questions. My first question is, how old are you Goken?"
"Oh well I'm 19 years old, my birthday had just passed in May." For some reason, Pinkie had let out a loud gasp. Goken shrugged it off not knowing why she did that.
After writing down her first question, Twilight moved on to her next question. "Okay, and what is your diet like?" This caused the room to feel a bit uneasy.
"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 caused a few of the elements to look a bit worried, more specifically, Fluttershy. Dash, on the other hand, seemed unfazed, mostly due to her seeing his eating habits before.
Twilight resumed her writing, taking in any all details." Okay, that makes sense, a few creatures in Equestria do eat meat some pegasi eat chicken and fish, mainly for the nutritional reason." Goken nodded, feeling a bit more relaxed. "Next question, what purpose does that tail serve?" She pointed to the tail that wrapped around his waist. "I've seen some humans before, but they didn't have tails, so I assume that the tail comes from your Saiyan half."
While a bit confused as to how Twilight knows about humans, he focused on the question that she asked. "Oh um well it's rather simple, it's just a tail you know. It's great for grabbing and holding stuff." Moving his tail from his waist Goken, moved it around with great dexterity.
"Oh, I see. So it's prehensile?" Twilight commented while writing in her notes.
"Yep. Pretty much nothing special." Goken let out a small chuckle. 'If I told them about what its real purpose is, they'd flip a lid.' Goken couldn't notice that Applejack was staring at him intently.
From out the window, they could see that the sun will soon set over the mountains. Twilight, along with the other elements, let out a collective yawn. Seeing that it was almost nightfall, Twilight prepared her last question. "Okay my last question, for now, is probably the most important one so far." Looking away from the window and over to her notes. "How did you get here?"
Goken had been anticipating that this question would eventually come up. Folding his arms across his chest, Goken tried to answer her question as best as he could. "Well, I think it has to do with the work that I was doing with Bulma. Remember when I told you girls about how Vegeta made friends with one of the Saiyans from Universe 6?"
Twilight and her friends nodded. "Well, Bulma thought she could make a portal that would allow Vegeta, and everyone else to travel to different universes. And with a little bit of guidance from Whis the angel of our universe, she was able to figure a way of doing so, all she needed to do was build the portal itself. And since I am good friends of hers, I decided that I would try and help."
"Now I'm not as smart as her, but I was more the muscles when she needed it. Considering that Vegeta was always off training anyway." He rolled his eyes, remembering all the times Bulma asked him for help because Vegeta was out.
"That's amazing; she must be really intelligent to build something like that," Twilight exclaimed with a twinkle in her eyes.
"Yeah, she is hehe. So as we were working on the final pieces of the portal when something happened. Without warning the machine started to activate 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. Thankfully we had been conducting our test in an open field where no bystanders could get hurt. I had managed to get Bulma secured onto a nearby rock that wasn't getting pulled in by the portal. However, I was not so fortunate. I had used a good amount of my energy trying to fly Bulma away from the portal, that by the time she was safe, I didn't have enough energy for myself to pull away. No matter how hard I tried, I was too weak to escape the portal's pull. I remembered Bulma trying to reach her hand out to grab mine, but it was too late. The last thing I remember was everything going to black, and I lost consciousness. After that...well you already know what happened after that."
All around the ponies at the table had looks of either pity or sadness, for they could not imagine the feeling of being separated from their friends and family like the wayward traveler. Standing from her seat, Twilight walked over to the Saiyan half breed and placed a hand on his shoulder. "Don't worry Goken. I'm sure we'll be able to help you find a way back home. Right girls?" The mares, without hesitation, nodded their heads. "But for now we welcome you to our world as a friend."
Feeling a bit touched by their kindness, Goken smiled feeling a bit relieved. "Thanks, girls. That means a lot."
Looking out the window, Twilight saw that the sun had nearly disappeared behind the mountains. "Oh wow, it's gotten pretty late already. Maybe, we can continue with our questions another time?"
Yawning Goken nodded his head in agreement. "Yeah, that sounds good to me." He raised his arms above his head as he stretched. Soon the others began to yawn knowing it was getting late, and they too needed to get some rest.
"We have a spare bedroom you can use if you like Goken. Just until we find a place for you to stay, that is."
"Thanks, that's much appreciated." With that everyone made their way home while Goken followed Twilight to the guest bedroom he would be using for the night.
