Dragonball MLP: Saiyan Survivor

Kolard and Twilight had arrived at the Everfree Forest, the Alicorn looked a bit nervous as she didn't really enjoy coming here and Kolard was on edge. He could smell the familiar scent of the forest. Twilight had asked him a lot about his people and his world and he tried his best to answer her questions, but there were things that he didn't know of. As a low-class Saiyan, he didn't get the luxury of learning about all the history of their people, he mostly knew about rumors, myths, and legends. The legend he was most familiar with was the legend of the Super Saiyan, an invincible warrior of such great power that he was said to be unstoppable. But it was said to only appear once every thousand years, and the Super Saiyan could only contain their power within their Great Ape form. He hadn't yet divulged this information to Twilight, as he didn't feel it was necessary for her to know.

A twig snapped to their side as they entered the forest, putting both of them on high alert. "Take to the air, Twilight. Those strange log wolves can't fly," Kolard pointed out.

"What about you!?" she asked, concerned.

The Saiyan answered her by taking to the skies, he could smell a pack of Timberwolves, but he didn't know how close they were. He'd rather take it safe and not get into a fight with them after he saw their abilities for himself. Twilight was astounded by the fact that this alien was flying without the use of magic or wings. She made a mental note about how she would ask him how he was doing that after they had gotten out of this situation. The low-class warrior cupped his hands in front of him and a red sphere of energy started to form within them, he was ready to blast whatever came out of the clearing.

When a harmless rabbit hopped into their line of sight, he let the energy dissipate on its own. It wasn't a danger to either of them, but he could smell danger still. "Twilight, what direction is the wind blowing?" he asked.

The Alicorn's horn lit up as she cast a spell to figure this out, "It's blowing towards the west," she stated.

The Saiyan relaxed, they were downwind from the Timberwolves. "Good, it means that what I smell from the east won't be able to track us. Unfortunately, it means we are completely blind to what's to the west of us. We'll have to be careful about what's coming from that direction. If we keep to the air, we should be fine though," he pointed out.

"I thought you Saiyans lived for battle?" the Princess of Friendship asked.

"I'm not one for dying by being overwhelmed by superior numbers, the last time I blasted one of those wolves, I went from dealing with only a handful to dealing with hundreds, now you're more familiar with this forest than I am. Can you show me the way to Zecora's?" he responded with a hint of annoyance in his voice.

Twilight Sparkle nodded and started flying ahead with Kolard close behind her. She knew enough to know that you didn't continue pressing a matter when someone sounded annoyed, so she kept quiet, much to the delight of the Saiyan. He had tired of answering her rapid fire questions on the way to the forest, but he began to realize something important about these ponies. They weren't experienced warriors, aside from the Royal Guard, however, something was odd about them. Something he couldn't place his finger on.

The two of them came up on a hut in the middle of the forest and the low-class warrior flew ahead and barged through the door. His heart was racing out of concern for the one who he had met a couple of days earlier. He started looking all around the hut when a voice from behind spoke up. "It is a bit rude to barge into someone's house,however coming with Twilight shows you are quite shrewd. It is good to see you again, Kolard. Would brings you to my neck of the wood?"

The Saiyan recognized that voice, he turned around and in a fit of relief gave Zecora a hug, surprising the herbalist and the Princess of Friendship. "A pleasant surprise for sure, but something tells me you do not seek a cure," the Zebra noticed.

Kolard let go of her and walked to the window. He stared out in the direction of the clearing he had first gone to in order to get some food. "I was so worried about you. I had wandered out of your hut the night you found me and smelled something that I could hunt, but I didn't know it was a full moon out that night. When I looked up to see this planet's moon, I lost control of myself and transformed into the Great Ape. A giant berserk monster that has no sense of self and no control. All I could do was destroy everything in range," he stated sadly.

Twilight didn't entirely understand despite the Saiyan's explanation earlier, but Zecora immediately understood. "So that monster was you, I had hoped it was not true," she stated in a ponderous tone.

The low-class warrior took this as a sign of rejection. He turned around and looked dejected, his first potential friend on this planet had more or less thrown him out he began to think. "I'll just take my Scouter and I won't bother you again," he said with a weary tone, his shoulders sagging.

Twilight was shocked at this, she had never seen Zecora reject or throw out anyone. But Zecora raised her hand and then pointed at the Saiyan's waist, "I notice you do not have a tail, perhaps you could tell me the tale?" she said, wanting to know what had happened.

Kolard nodded, but didn't look at her. He picked his scouter up off a shelf and affixed it to his head, the blue lens sitting comfortably over his eye. "I told Celestia about this and I believe she told Twilight about this, but you don't know. We Saiyans require our tails in order to have the transformation into the Great Ape. Our tail is a vulnerable and sensitive part of our body. Elites go through training in order to both control the Great Ape and make it so that having their tail grabbed doesn't hurt them. But for us low-class Saiyans or trash as they called us all the time? We didn't get that luxury. If it makes you and the others feel any better, as far as it is known... no adult Saiyan has ever regrown their tail after losing it," he explained while looking away.

Zecora's mind was put at ease, she didn't worry very much about the giant monster that she had seen two nights ago. She didn't tell Kolard, but she was there, wisely deciding to stay out of the monster's way. She had been woken up that night by the loud sounds and noticed her guest had been missing, she feared that the creature had eaten him or worse. "No one was hurt, so there's no need to be disconcert," she stated to him.

The Saiyan smiled, his spirits were lifted by this a bit. He activated his Scouter to try to pick up any battle powers on the world he was on, but it was pointless. The Scouter read nothing. He sighed and Twilight Sparkle walked over to him, placing her hand on the scouter and giving him puppy dog eyes. "You want to see the Scouter? Be my guest, it doesn't seem to work here," the low-class warrior stated, annoyed at this fact.

He took the Scouter off his head and affixed it to hers. "Press the red button on the side if you want to activate it," he stated.

The Alicorn pressed the button on the side, being surprised when it immediately started working and scanned the Saiyan in front of her. "It's getting some sort of reading!" she exclaimed, excitedly.

Kolard and Zecora could see that it was indeed working for her, but neither of them could explain why. The Scouter displayed numbers that were unreadable to either of the ponies, but this confirmed the Saiyan's suspicions, he had indeed gained a Zenkai. "What does it say, Kolard?" asked the curious Princess.

"It says that battle power is now three hundred and two. It means that I recovered from being on the brink of death. We Saiyans if brought to the brink of death and we survive, grow stronger. We also tend to grow a little stronger with each fight. Usually not by as much as if we're brought to the brink of death," the low-class warrior explained.

Twilight took the device off her head and then looked at it. Slowly, she began to realize that if she could figure out how it worked, she would be able to figure out how to make it detect magical power in Equestria on top of being able to detect the battle power of the ponies, even though that concept was foreign to her. It would be a challenge for sure, but the Princess enjoyed a good challenge once in a while. "I think I can modify this for you, possibly upgrade it so that you'll be able to read our magical power as well," she stated.

Kolard had no idea what magic was, but he shrugged and went with the flow. "I'd be grateful," he stated.

"If the Saiyan has no home to return to, then will he be alone?" Zecora asked out of curiosity.

The Princess of Friendship thought about this for a moment, "Well, I could let you stay at my place, Kolard. But you'll have to promise that you won't try destroying anything," she stated to the surprise of the warrior.

Kolard thought about this for a moment, he was happy to be able to have a place to stay on his own and he remembered how Rarity was going to create a new armor for him. He didn't need an excessively elastic armor anymore as he didn't have his tail anymore. Not to mention, Pinkie Pie wanted to throw a welcome party for him and the Saiyan couldn't turn down the notion of free food and drink. No Saiyan worth their pride would that down. "I promise I won't attempt to destroy or break anything. After all, it would be rude of a guest to damage the property and belongings of their host," he stated.

"Well, I guess that settles that. I hope you'll be alright, Zecora," Twilight said as she smiled at her friend.

The Zebra returned the smile, "I will be fine Twilight, you need not worry about me, however I feel your friend might soon need to dine," she replied.

The Saiyan chuckled, he could admit that he was starting to get hungry. The Alicorn nodded and started to lead him out of the hut, but as she took to the air, he remained on the ground and turned back with a smile on his face. "Do you mind if I come visit you from time to time, I'm sure someone as wise and learned as you has much to teach me," he asked.

Zecora knew that the warrior was only telling her half the truth, "If you ever wish to visit, tell me and I will ensure that a dish will be here for you," she said with a sagely smile.

Kolard nodded and smiled back, he waved to her and then took to the sky to follow Twilight Sparkle. The two were going to head back to Ponyville. The low-class warrior's spirit had been put at ease and now he didn't have his mind so wracked with worry and guilt. He would be able to rest easily that night. However the Saiyan was about to find out just how little time Pinkie Pie needed to set up a surprise party first hand.
