As the bell had rung for lunch the students all walked to the cafeteria as Goku and Raditz were practically dying from eating such small portions of meals all day. As Raditz and Goku waited in line. Goku looked around as he was looking for the food he smelled as Raditz was a bit more perspective as he saw some other students around them glaring at them two and even some kids keeping their distance. “That’s odd. Kakarot do you see that?” Raditz asked as Goku was staring at the food

“Yeah, there is not enough food for everyone here! It’s insane!” Goku said as the food court seemed to have enough food for the students but to saiyans it was a mere snack.

“No you idiot, not that. I am talking about the hostile stares.” Raditz whispered as Goku looked around and realized that the students were looking a bit more hostile.

Goku looked at Raditz and shrugged. “Maybe they are tired of the day they just had. I doubt they would be angry at us. I mean what did we do?” Goku said as Raditz thought.

“We pretty much showed everyone in Pe they suck so they might be jealous of us.” Raditz said as he looked around and seemed a bit uncomfortable at the glares and stares.

Goku saw Raditz tail slowly wiggling as he tapped his brothers shoulder. “Hey Raditz I know your worried and all but your tail is coming loose.” Goku said as Raditz looked at Goku with a cocky smile.

“Me worried? HA Kakarot I think that’s the best joke you can muster!” Raditz said as he secretly tied his tail to his waist again with his own tail.

“It wasn’t a joke.” Goku said as Raditz pushed him forward to take a step.

As Goku finally got to the food table he looked at all the food they had as his mouth watered just by the sight. “Kakarot order already, I am starving too.” Raditz said as he bumped Goku again.

“O-oh yeah sorry, Um miss uh Granny Smith, would I be able to have a little of everything? Or a lot of everything, if you can.” Goku asked to be polite as Granny smith smiled and nodded.

“Do you think she will actually give you everything?” Raditz asked as Goku shrugged and waited. After a few minutes Granny Smith came out with a dolly full of the various foods.

“We always make a bit too much for the students aroun' hair, so here take it young’n not like it will go anywhere. Ya har that apple rose, an golden delicious I was right ta make more, these kids ahr growing and need food in ’er bodies.” Granny shouted to the back as the two sigh and rolled their eyes in a fun manner

As Goku took the plates and food Raditz watched with his mouth opened and looked at Granny Smith. “H-hey would I be able to get the same?” Raditz asked as Granny Smith nodded and had to walk to the back again. The kids around staring in confusion more than distrust at the two saiyans.

As Raditz and Goku finally got the meal they've been waiting for all they need is a place to eat it at. Raditz scanned around the area looking for empty chairs. As soon as Raditz saw two seats at a table with a group of nature lovers Raditz started to walk there holding his plates only for the kids to put their bags on the seats. “Sorry seats taken.” The boy said as Raditz saw their action and got a bit upset.

Before Raditz could do or say anything he felt something tap his shoe. As he turned he saw Goku tapping his foot against Raditz’s. “Hey don’t worry about it. Come on let’s go over there they have one but we can share it.” Goku said as he walked along. Raditz sighed and begrudgingly followed Goku not before giving the nature people a nasty look.

As Goku got closer the group at the table put a hand on it. “Sorry kid seats taken.” One of the guys said as Raditz stepped up.

“By who? I don’t see anyone else sitting there.” Raditz said with a bit of anger in his tone. The kids looked around and the one who spoke stated at Raditz calmly.

“It’s justo taken. Beat it.” The kid said as Raditz now got angry.

“Oh you want to start a fight? Well I can beat you with one hand holding all my food so stand up and let’s fight!” Raditz shouted as Goku got between them.

“H-hey Sorry about my brother he has a little temper. We will be going now. Come on Raditz. Let’s go.” Goku said as he was pushing Raditz away with his head. Raditz only staring at the boy and the crew he was in.

As Applejack saw the encounter from her table at the far end of the room she couldn’t help but feel bad for the two brothers. “Hey AJ? Earth to Aj! Earth to AJ!” Rainbow dash called out as she was trying to get Applejack to come back to the real world and leave the thinking world.

“Oh oh oh! Maybe if you throw some strawberries at her! That would really make her wake up!” A girl with pink skin said as she practically bounced with excitement.

“I am not sure what that would accomplish other than get her angry at us Pinkie. Let’s hold it off for the last ideas.” Rarity said as Applejack came back to the table

“Sorry girls, I was thinkin' about sumthin'. what were ya all sayin'?” Applejack asked as another girl with long pink hair and pale Olive skin color looked to where her friend was looking too seeing the two brothers.

“We were wondering about the harmony dance, your going right? I mean we are all going, Fluttershy, pinkie, rarity, all of us we just need you.” Rainbow asked as Applejack had looked at Rainbow a bit worried

“I um I don’t know, I would like too but apple season is about to end we need to fix the trees for the fall. Sorry girls.” Applejack said as Rainbow sighed

“Nah you're good AJ, we just need to do more things in highschool. Since you know we are freshmen? And this should be the greatest time of our lives!” Rainbow said as the others seemed to agree with her.

Applejack turned her head to search for the two brothers as she then saw them getting kicked away from another table. “Yeh thanks Rainbow…” applejack said with a quiet tone.

As the girls all looked over to her detection of staring they saw Raditz and Goku walking from table to table but being kicked out. “Oh come on Applejack! You can’t seriously feel bad for them! Are you?” Rainbow asked as Applejack turned quickly and started to stammer.

“Honestly Applejack, you shouldn’t let low lives like those two get your attention. You are beautiful strong honest, any other boy would fall for you if you let them have a chance.” Rarity said as Applejack now caught in two different conversations panicked.

“W-What! ah don’t like him and I am sure 'he doesn't like me either. We jus' worked out with one another. And that's all!” Applejack said as Fluttershy was quiet and Pinkie listened but seemed to have entered another part of her mind as her eyes slowly drifted apart.

“That’s my point, you just working out with them could be bad. I mean seriously no one even knows who they are. I am just gonna tell you this, those two are bad news. I can’t tell what but they seem off. Like they arnt human.” Rainbow said as Pinkie snapped back to reality

“Of course they are not silly.” Pinkie said as the group turned to her confused. “What you can’t tell me that no one knows either right?” Pinkie said as the lunch table was silent waiting for her to explain.

“Nope I promised the story writer I will not spoil anything to the characters. In return I get a Sunday and all the candy I want!” Pinkie said as she started to drool from the mouth.

“Never mind it’s just pinkie being Pinkie.” Rainbow said as The girls returned to their last conversation. “But we are right. Those two arnt normal and can be bad news.” Rainbow said as Fluttershy put her hand up to talk.

“But w-what if those rumors aren’t real?” Fluttershy asked as Rainbow turned to her in confusion. “Like what if whoever told you lied to make you hate them?” Fluttershy said as she went quieter and quieter.

“I doubt that, what reason would someone have to do that much work to get at someone else, two people non the less.” Rainbow said as Applejack was thinking.

As Applejack was about to say something a familiar voice spoke, “hey Applejack! Would you mind if me and my brother sit here?” Raditz asked as Goku caught up with him.

Applejack was about to respond with a yes but then looked at her friends, Pinkie pie was messing around with her pudding as it turned to an exact figure of her own head shaking her head no to Applejack. Rarity looked away as Rainbow dash had an expression that seemed to say, “don’t…” Fluttershy on the other hand seemed a bit nervous to speak but it seemed she was trying to say yes.

Applejack turned to Raditz and Goku and back to her friends. “Sure, ya can sit here. No one else is sitting there.” Applejack said as Rainbow dash rolled her eyes.

As Raditz and Goku sat down to eat their plates of food sat in front of everyone as it threatened to fall but with care Goku and Raditz put them down and started to eat. At the speed of the two eating Pinkie pie, she looked at the two as she tried to copy them and eat so much in a few seconds. “W-well I think it’s about time we left I do have to get ready for my last two classes. Come on Pinkie.” Rarity said as she got up from the table and started to drag pinkie.

“Wait no! My carrots! My carrots!” Pinkie yelled as she was being dragged away. Rainbow looked at Fluttershy and signaled her to leave with her.

As Rainbow got up Fluttershy hesitatingly got up and started to follow Rainbow quietly leaving the table to be Gokus, Raditz’s and Applejacks.

“Will ya excuse me fer a second? I gotta talk to my friends…” Applejack said as she got up and started to go after her friends.

“What was that all about Raditz?” Goku asked as Raditz shrugged and kept eating.

As Applejack passed the few students Sunset saw how the two saiyans were alone at a table. She shrugged and looked around for a place to sit as she looked over the area and finally saw a familiar looking man.

As Sunset walked over to Flash she saw the group that was with Flash, a boy with cyan skin color and dark blue hair and another boy with pale skin and long dark gold hair covering his eyes. Within all their hands were guitars.

“Hey Flash! Can I sit here I don’t have a group of my own.” Sunset said as Flash turned to her and nodded his head as the trio was playing a quiet tune.

As Sunset listened to the tune she looked down at the food she just got. A sandwich, with a red apple, a bottle of water and finally some beans. “Definitely a weird school lunch for a weird school.” Sunset thought as she started with the apple and started to eat.

As the group did their own thing Sunset suddenly was bumped at the back of her head. As sunset turned around to give whoever it was a price of her mind Sunset froze seeing Mag. “Oh my bad I am just so clumsy sometimes. Did I hurt you?” Mag asked in a sarcastic tone as she sat on the other side of the table where Flash was sitting.

Sunset ignored the comment and sighed as she went for the beans next. As Sunset was eating the beans with her face Mag and the others seemed confused except for Flash. “Ay Sunset using the old pig wild eating technique? Nice” flash commented as Sunset looked up confused.

As Mag rolled her eyes and pointed to her spork and used the motion to eat it Sunset soon realized what her mistake was.

Embarrassed and feeling like a idiot Sunset grabbed her spork and started to eat it. “So I am assuming in your home town you didn’t use utensils?” Asked mag as Sunset looked up.

“actually we did but since we had so many pon-people that didn’t have hands we just didn’t use them.” Sunset responded as Mag squinted her eyes at Sunset and then shrugged. As the two girls stayed quiet Flash decided to relax the mood by playing a calm slow song.

Sunset grabbed the sandwich and started to eat it as she first tasted the lettuce, then the condiments, so far so good. As she finally felt the wet meat she wondered what it was. “H-hey what’s this um… thing in the middle?” Sunset asked as everyone at the table looked at her.

“Oh your eating the pork sandwich. Tastes really good dudet.” Said the boy with long hair as Sunset just heard what he said.

“P-pork?” Sunset asked as her face turned green and she looked around. Mag looked in surprise as Sunset got up and ran to the trash can and proceeded to vomit.

Mag sighed as Flash and the other guys went to her aid. “Well we know she isn’t a blood sucking vampire… check.” Mag said as she checked the word off from her list of monsters or beings.

As Applejack caught up with her friends she got infront of them wanting to talk. “Hey, what was all that back there?” Applejack asked as Rainbow dash walked to Applejack.

“I don’t want any problems with my friends because of them. We didn’t stay because we don’t want to lose our friendship. Plus we keep telling you over and over but for some reason you don’t seem to understand they are going to use you.” Rainbow explained as Rarity nodded behind her.

“But how do ya know? done thay do sumthin' t' ya? Have they caused ya pain in any form? Ever since ya talked t' 'em ya seemed to be on edge about 'em” Applejack said as Rainbow sighed.

“Look I don’t know what to tell you. You can hang with them all you want but if you get hurt we will be waiting.” Rainbow said as they all walked past Applejack. All except fluttershy.

“Y-you know I-I believe you Applejack.” Fluttershy said as Applejack turned to her and smiled.

“If ya believe me then believe that they won’t hurt us. Jus' come back an sit down with us and we can chat and get to know 'em better, I promise.” Applejack said as Fluttershy was about to nod but Rainbow entered the lunch room and grabbed Fluttershy's arm and started to bring her outside of the cafeteria.

“H-hey! That’s not fair you should let her choose… Aww who am I kidding, she might never choose to hang out with ’em.” Applejack said as she walked back to the table.

As Applejack got to the table she saw Goku and Raditz finished with their meals and the plates mostly empty except some left over bones or scraps of meat. “Wait h-how done ya both eat so fast lots ah was jus' talking t' my friends for a few minutes!” Applejack asked a bit shocked as Raditz was cleaning his teeth with his finger.

“Not sure I was just hungry and I ate. Why is it wrong to eat so fast?” Raditz asked as Goku stood up and started to stretch.

Applejack was speechless as Goku tapped his brothers arm. “Hey Raditz how about a rematch now that we are both filled and ready for action.” Goku said as Raditz smirked

“R-r-rematch?” Applejack asked as Raditz got up and nodded the two brothers seeming to be grinning in excitement.

“Sure Kakarot, but know I won’t let you win.” Raditz said as he and Goku started to walk out and Applejack stared at them.

“I’m not gonna like this am I?” Applejack said to no one as she followed them wanting to see what they were going to do.

“Hmm you will try but please remember we can’t go all out, we don’t want another mess out of today. “ Goku whispered to Raditz as he didn’t want anyone else to hear

“Oh brother, believe me, even if we went all out we wouldn’t do too much damage. It would mostly break down some parts of the school walls or maybe a house. But not a lot of damage.” Raditz said as Applejack was a bit far back to hear it.

As the two brothers went passed the hallways and to the back of the school Raditz and Goku walked outside seeing the football stadium, the track and more equipment all being held within a fenced wall. “Over there Kakarot. That building looks good.” Raditz said as he pointed to the storage area. And the area behind it.

Goku nodded as Raditz and him walked over to the storage room. “Um guys what you guys rematchin' for anyway? Is it another pushup and sit-ups competition? if' so your stomachs need time after eatin' so much you could hurt yourselves.” Applejack said as Goku and Raditz stretched and got ready.

“No Applejack we are going to spar against one another.” Goku said as he was stretching his legs one side to another.

“Spar? Like fighting? At school! What makes ya two think that’s a good idea!” Applejack asked as Goku and Raditz

“Yeah why is that something you guys don’t usually do here?” Raditz asked as Goku listened to the two talking

“Well yeah we don’t usually brush hair for fun. Or we could git into deep trouble” Applejack said as Raditz and Goku looked at one another and seemed to understand but not listen.

Goku got into his dragon stance as Raditz now taking a page from Goku goes into a deep horse stance the air around them goes silent as Goku takes in a breath and Applejack looked around worriedly. Then from the nowhere Raditz jumps at Goku throwing a punch at Goku’s head.

Goku quickly ducks from the hit and goes for a stomach punch. Raditz caught his younger brothers hand with his and smiled. The two brothers stayed at the lock for a bit as Applejack was watching how the fight was going.

Goku pulled Raditz over him as he fell to the ground and before either could hit the ground they jumped back and landed away from each other.

As Goku landed on his feet he saw Raditz for only a second and then felt an elbow to the back of his neck. Falling over Goku couldn’t stop the kick that Raditz was about to use to send him away.

Goku hit the ground as Applejack gasped at that speed and the power in his kick. Goku rolled on his back as landed on his feet and this time used the movementum of the last attack to push off the ground toward Raditz at high speeds.

Raditz dodged to the right before Goku could hit him but as the image of Goku passed Raditz the real Goku appears from above kicking his cheek.

Stumbling back Raditz gritted his teeth and looked at Goku who got back into his stance and smiled. “Well Kakarot I must say that was fun. For a warm up now will you do this a bit more seriously?” Raditz asked as Applejack couldn’t believe what she heard

W-warm up? How much is a fight if that was their warm up. Oh please don’t get anyone’s attention.” Applejack thought worriedly as she turned around quickly to see if anyone was watching.

“Yeah I’m ready, I can tell by your first hit your excited to get to fight again after waiting for so long. I can’t lie, those work outs today in PE wasn’t enough for me either. But this fight should be enough!” Goku said confidently as he stood tall. Goku turned his left hand down and his right hand up, he then stood in his fighting stance as he circled himself with his arms and he was now ready.

As now the two saiyans got ready for the real round Applejack stared in a more than worried expression and then it started. Goku and Raditz pushed off the floor as they ended up making contact with their elbows. Raditz pushed back as Goku did the first push. Throwing fist after fist Goku was smiling as he punched.

Raditz had been taking a few hits but with the time him and his brother spend together and the little warm up Raditz could tell Goku wasn’t going all out.

As Goku pinched Raditz grabbed the wrist of Goku before it made contact. “What now brother you might have to jab some kicks at me.” Raditz said as he chuckled

Goku slowly smiled and with one word Goku attacked. “Scissors!” Yelled our Goku as his index and middle finger we able to make contact with Raditz's nose. As Goku yelled out scissors a few kids nearby heard and out of curiosity walked by as they saw Applejack looking around worriedly

As Raditz let go and stepped back Goku chuckled, “ I was aiming for your eyes but I didn’t get close enough.” Goku explained as he let Raditz recover from the sudden attack to his nose.

“Oh you will pay for that Kakarot!” Raditz shouted as he got ready to attack. As Applejack noticed the group of kids walking over she tried to get the brothers attention.

Raditz and Goku threw blow after blow to each other as Goku tried to block a punch but got hit in the chest taking out his wind.

Raditz was about to take this moment to attack but Goku instead of dodging he grabbed Raditz by the head and head butted Raditz back.

Now surrounded by other kids from the school watching the fight Applejack groans as she just looked around and joined the fun of the two brothers fighting.

Raditz and Goku both punched fist which caused them to be pushed back a bit. With that small second of time Raditz was about to punch again but Goku lifted his elbow to the right angle making Radtiz hit his hand onto bone and making Raditz hurt his hand even more.

Goku was pushed back by the punch as he saw Raditz shaking his wrist. Goku took this chance to charge at Raditz and do any damage he wanted.

Goku ran at Raditz as he punched Raditz back a few steps and then threw a kick to Raditz stomach.

Raditz coughed out air as he grabbed Goku's leg and used his right leg to sweep Goku to the ground. The group of teens all cheered as they were recording the fight to post it later.

Goku and Raditz fell as Raditz let go and punched at Goku who was already on his back. Goku put his arms up in a X. Raditz got Goku's arms non stop as Goku was pinned to the ground by Raditz’s fury attack.

As Goku was being beaten to the ground he looked at Raditz. Raditz was punching back but when he looked at Goku's face his expression got serious as Goku had the same angry expression from this morning. His hair was straight and his body became stronger.

Raditz jumped back as Goku threw a punch to where Raditz’s head was at. Goku jumped off the ground toward Raditz who was standing near the storage room. As Raditz turned and saw his younger brother about to punch his face into a bloody pulp he moved his head to the side barely missing him. The wall behind him broke into a hole as Goku's force seemed to be enough to break even the metal bars on the window.

As Raditz thought on how he will stop his brother he realized the kids all around them and Applejack staring worriedly. “Damn it! How didn’t I noticed that there are so many people here that Kakarot could send a wave of energy and probably kill them all! I need to get Kakarot away from here!” Thought Raditz as he turned to his brother and saw a fist right at his face. With no time to react Raditz took the punch to the face knocking him back and then the next and then the next punch.

Raditz flew to the open soccer field as Goku charged at Raditz again. Now in opened sight Goku and Raditz fought one another as Raditz fought to calm his brother down and for his dear life and for Goku he fought to attack Raditz And beat him down.

Raditz pushed aside any punch as he was focused so much on the punches he didn’t see the ki blast from Goku's foot blasting Raditz back even more.

Rolling on the grass he thought of a plan and once he stopped moving he stayed still. Goku slowly walked to Raditz as Raditz was just quiet and didn’t make any movement.

The teens around Goku and Raditz stood in shock as they didn’t see Raditz get up or Goku check on his brother's body.

Goku turned around looking at the humans of this world and was about to take a step toward them to attack but something or someone was right behind him holding him in a full Nelson.

“Got ya!” Raditz yelled as Goku was caught out by surprise and struggled to get Raditz off. “Oh no you don’t! Though you're stronger than me in this form I think I know a way to calm you down!” Raditz said as he jumped on Goku's back making all his weight force Goku to the ground.

As the beast within Goku tried to get up or get Raditz off it was to no good as Raditz put his head to the ground. “Kakarot listen to the world, listen to the silence in the area, listen to the calming tweets of the birds or something but just calm down!” Raditz ordered as the other kids circled around the two.

As the few seconds become minutes Goku slowly started to calm down as his body didn’t tense up as it once was and soon his anger and stress was gone for the moment. “R-raditz, what happened? Why are you on my back?” Goku asked as Raditz realized Goku was fine and he quickly got off.

“Sorry about that Kakarot. I will explain later but we have a bigger problem. The crowd.” Raditz said as Goku had just realized the groups of kids around.

As Goku and Raditz both looked at one another and then at the group. “Sorry everyone, we were having some fun and it got out of hand.” Goku said as he bowed and Raditz crossed his arms.

“if you don’t leave now we will make this little sparing match to a all battle royal now beat it!” Raditz said coldly as the kids took the threat serious and started to walk away. Applejack was the only one who stayed.

As Goku and Raditz sighed Applejack approached them. First I got a question are you two okay? Those there were some hard punches.” Applejack asked as Raditz and Goku nodded and seemed fine.

“Dandy, second question now. What the hay jus' happened back there! ya two said sparin' match not beat each other to death!” Applejack shouted as Raditz and Goku backed up a bit.

“This was a sparing match if it was to the death I wouldn’t have held him down to calm down!” Raditz said as Goku nodded

“Yeah not only that but we didn’t even use all out power. Well not that i know of I kinda just blanked out.” Goku said as Raditz sighed and Applejack listened to the two.

“I don’t know what to say other than ya both are strange…” Applejack said as Raditz laughed

“Applejack you don’t know the half of it.” Raditz said as Goku and the others heard the bell ring.

“Hey guys the bell rang does that mean class is about to start again?” Goku asked sadly as Applejack and Raditz nodded and Goku dropped his head and groaned.

As the trio walked to the school again Raditz and Goku were not happy to go back to class as for Applejack she was thinking of something. “Ya know i think that fight of yours will be posted on thuh internet. It may get a lot of likes. I have t' say it was entertaining for a while. Maybe ya can teach me how t' fight like that later raditz” applejack said as Raditz looked at her and smiled.

“By the end of the week you will be able to hold your own against anyone here Applejack.” Raditz said with confidence as they all entered the school.

As phones around the area dinged with a new notification the fight that Goku and Raditz spread around like wildfires. It went around the school of canterlot high and soon went to other schools. Hoofington high, cloud high and even Crystal prep.

Crystal prep

A teen walks down the hallway, he has dark grey skin and black hair. His eyes brilliant scarlet with deep scarlet pupils able to stare enemies down, he wears black pants and a red undershirt with two eyes with mist around it and a black senior jacket with his name on the back, “Sombra”

As Sombra walks down the hallway he sees his group of “friends” all huddled around watching something. He gets closer and stares at their backs as they seem to be getting excited. Sombra had enough and got their attention with a small cough

With one cough the group of teens stood up tall and the hair on the back of their necks rose. “S-Sombra! Sorry about that, we didn’t hear or see you.” The teen with red hair and yellow skin said as Sombra stayed quiet and stared at them.

“Hammer show him! He is a busy man and doesn’t have time to waste on small talk!” Whispered one kid to the first teens ear.

Hammer nodded as he was slowly shaking and walked to Sombra and turned his phone to Sombra. The fight that Goku and Raditz had finally got to Sombra and once the video ended Hammer spoke again. “We called you to show you that because Wind striker told us you would like it. We don’t know what martial arts group they are in but they are strong. Phoenix and Wind Striker are already on their way to them.” Hammer said as Sombra had smiled evilly as he watched a certain part again.

As the video played Sombra paused it at a specific point as he was able to see a ball of energy from Goku's foot hit Raditz. Seeing that small energy ball made Sombra smile as his hand formed an energy ball. His energy was red and black as his eyes watched the video and he looked outside the window toward Canterlot high. “Good…” said Sombra as he grabbed the energy ball and dispersed it around his hand.
