Equestrian Friends Dragon Era
Shadow Crystal Clan Saga! Episode Seven!: The Ruthless energy fights back
Previous ChapterNext ChapterAs Goku and Raditz sat outside of Celestia's office with wraps and bandages they seemed a bit quieter than usual. There was a long silence until the door opened. As Flash walked out he looked at the two saiyans. “Hey…” was all Flash said as Raditz and Goku both responded in their own ways, Goku responded with a small wave as Raditz responded with a nod of the head.
“Well I am off the hook since I went into the fight trying to protect you both but I don’t think she will be happy with all of this fighting. I guess Rainbow is off the hook too since she came in to help Applejack the video proof shows it.” Flash said as Goku nodded
“I guess that just leaves us right Raditz?” Goku asked as Raditz was in another mood and just scoffed. “Don’t worry about him, he is just upset.” Goku said to Flash as he got up and put his hand to Flash to shake.
As Flash was about to shake it he hesitated as he remembered what Mag said. He then took the hand and shook it as Goku already seemed to be fine. Not only that but a bit stronger than before.
As Goku and Flash let go, the door opened, Celestia was not happy as she looked tired and stressed but she still signaled for Goku and Raditz to come in together.
Raditz entered first since he was just leaning against the wall, as Goku followed second. Celestia didn’t have to say anything as Goku and Raditz walked to the seats and sat down.
“You two did something very bad today. I hope you both know that.” Celestia said as she got to her desk after shutting the door.
Goku was quiet as Raditz spoke, “and what may we have done that was so bad for you to have to talk to all of us?” Raditz asked as Celestia looked at him with an upset face.
“Not only did you two get into a fight on the first day of school but you also beat two people so close to death that in the end you all couldn’t move at the end. This vídeo shows it all to me. So tell me what do you have to say for yourself?” Celestia said as Goku was quiet and Raditz spoke
“You're telling me that you called us here for self defense? Not only that but you have so many witnesses and a video recording that you want to put me and Kakarot in trouble!” Raditz asked Celestia to get up from his seat and slammed his fist to the desk.
Celestia didn’t even flinch as she stared Raditz in the eyes. “The rules here are no fighting, if we let you kids fight there would be fights for even the smallest of things. Lunch spots, books, even small things like who is better at the drum set. Raditz you must understand that all of this isn’t just to annoy you it’s to help you both get through life.” Celestia explained as Raditz just scoffed.
“So tell me Principal, if someone fights me in the real world out there what do I do? Call another adult and wait for help? Or am I allowed to defend myself with little to no problem?” Raditz asked as Goku finally thought now might be a good time to try to calm his brother.
As Goku tried to get his older brother to sit down Celestia spoke with calmness in her tone, “you call the cops. Officers that are there to protect you from danger.” Celestia explained as Raditz shoved his shoulder away from Goku.
“So I must call these cops? What if I am already in danger to the point my life can be taken away!” Raditz pointed out as Celestia sighed and nodded. Goku and Raditz name to get his attention to calm down. He was ignored
“I see where you are going. Look Raditz you are allowed to defend yourself but the thing is that, this school it’s not real life, it’s a place to come and learn, spend time with your friends and get ready for the real world.” Celestia said as Raditz and Goku listened. “Here you don’t have to worry about fights or laws or bills, it's just a school. If you had to worry about that in the past I am truly sorry for you but here we don’t do things that way.” Celestia said as she fixed a pen that fell out of place when Raditz hit the desk.
“So you're telling me this school here readys people for the real world? Well I find this school is lacking in a lot of parts.” Raditz said as Goku tried to pull Raditz back again saying his name again to get Raditz attention. Only to be ignored again.
“What is that supposed to mean?” Celestia asked as she finally seemed to lose a bit of her composer. Raditz pushed Goku back as looked at the Principal.
“I mean that these students aren’t ready for the harshness of life. They are Bullied within their school where it’s supposed to be safe, they are weak. They have to grow thicker skin so they can do better in the real world, you holding them back it only damages their chances at truly succeeding in life!” Raditz said as Celestia listened and then spoke. Goku just sat back seeing how his brother wasn’t going to listen to him or calm down. If it came to blows then he would fight.
“I am not sure what you want me to do. I can’t change society, I can’t do anything to help your point. All I am going to say is that you are both given a warning. Since your both at Sunsets orphanage. I know it sounds unfair. Heck life is always unfair, but it’s not always Whos the strongest but who’s the smartest as well. I know you understand that part. I was there with my own little sister when we were younger but we must do whatever it takes to protect them, just understand where I am coming from and just follow my guidelines. Please…” Celestia said as Raditz looked at Celestia with a softer expression as he seemed to understand something and slowly nod.
“Look, Principal Celestia, we are sorry for what we did but they were coming at us with evil intent.” Goku said as Celestia looked at him.
“Evil intent? May you please explain a bit further?” Celestia asked as Goku nodded and thought.
“When they arrived they mentioned a few things, how they want to put us in check or something and that we will have to follow a man named Sombra. I don’t know who he is but I can say it didn’t sound all good, they even asked me to join their gang.” Goku explained as he remembered part by part. Raditz then continued as he had a bit to add in.
“They were not here to make friends and they used Applejack as a hostage, Wind Striker I think was the guy's name that held Applejack as a hostage ordered the other guy Phoenix to beat me down, if I fought they would have hurt Applejack.” Raditz said as Goku realized something.
“Wait, why didn’t Raditz attack Wind Striker, he was always fast to the gun to attack in the last few battles what stopped him? Was it… was it Applejack? No way, he cares for someone else other than himself or his saiyan pride. That has to be the reason… right? He wouldn’t take a beating for anyone… would he?” Goku thought as Raditz explained that Applejack had used self defense to help him beat Phoenix down.
As Celestia looked at the two kids with a neutral expression as she wrote down some parts. As Raditz and Goku didn’t say anything for five seconds Celestia finished writing. “Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I will inform the police but if they do come after you again come to me.” Celestia said as Goku raised his hand and Celestia looked at him.
“What if they attack us out of school? Are we allowed to fight?” Goku asked as Celestia thought about it and then looked at them both.
“If you must fight, go for it but it is always best to report to the officers. That’s why they are here for us.” Celestia said as Goku nodded and Raditz rolled his eyes
As Raditz sat next to Goku again as Celestia sighed and didn’t want more problems to arise. As Celestia spoke she sounded serious, “today is your only warning I am giving you, if you must fight please do it outside of school. I will not call Ms Shimmer but you two must behave yourselves.” Celestia said as Goku nodded and Raditz looked away.
———————————————————-
Goku and Raditz walked out of the school front doors, Raditz Sighed as he looked around and saw no one outside it seemed people left to do other activities. “What a day…” Raditz said as he turned to Goku.
“Yeah, it nary gets like that all day so don’t stress too much about that.” Said a familiar voice. Raditz and Goku turned to where the voice was coming from and saw Applejack who had a few more bandaids, wrapping and a arm support on her left arm and of course the usual nurse ice bag on her head.
“A-Applejack you're still here?” Raditz asked as Goku and him walked to the cowgirl. As she met them half way she smiled
“Well I wanted to make sure you both were fine..” Applejack said as she smiled at Raditz barely turning a dark shade of red.
Goku looked at them two as he listened to the conversation but then he felt something. A surge of power rose up. Goku turned around and didn’t see anyone but he could sense it coming from the city. “What in the world was that…it felt like ki but… that can’t be” Goku thought as he quickly acted as if he didn’t feel it and focused on the two near him.
“So that was interesting'. Ah nary gawt into a brush before-wr. How do ya two do it? ah could barely keep uhp.” Applejack asked as she looked at Raditz. “So For instahns ya two gawt lick uhp but ya ahr both still standin' hair better than before! ah just' wanna know what’s yo-wr secret”
Raditz looked at Applejack and a small smirk showed. “Well that’s a secret for another day today we might just have you rest. Are you alright? Your arm seems to be hurt.” Raditz said as Applejack nodded. Goku stared at the two but he wouldn’t leave that sudden burst of energy alone his mind was just running too fast. Goku looked past the energy as he remembered what it felt like. Cold and sinister willing to cause pain.
“So mah brother doesn’t wanna give me a ride home do ya wanna walk with me home it is getting' dark an ah don’t want anything' 'happen to' me ” Applejack said as she rubbed the back of her neck and Raditz looked at Applejack and then to Goku seeing him think. He was about to say yes but a thought caught him.
“Wait am I feeling friendship to a random stranger! Saiyans aren't supposed to have friendships! It’s not what we do… but I want to have a walk with her.” Thought Raditz as he turned to his brother, “Hey Kakarot you want to join us? This could have more fighters.” Raditz joked as he laughed. Goku laughed a bit with Raditz
Goku thought about it for a second as he thought of the pros and cons of the situation. He had to think what if Raditz would harm this girl. As he looked at Raditz and sensed something. As Goku looked at this he felt Raditz though strong and hard will not harm Applejack. “Nah Raditz you both should have some alone time you don’t want to look like a babysitter to the world. I wanted to check up on something in the city too. I doubt you want to do that boring human work.” Goku said as Raditz turned to Goku confused
“Kakarot you okay? You sound a bit strange in your wording there…” Raditz asked a bit seriously. As Goku looked toward the city he thought of lying to keep Raditz calm.
“I sensed something over at the city, it might be nothing… but I don’t want to leave it unchecked just in case, we got beat up here today and though we won, they mention someone, Sombra have you heard of him?” Goku asked Applejack as she shook her head
“Not that I know of… RD might know or even Pinkie Pie, they may know since Pinkie knows everyone… supposedly. Why?” Applejack asked as Goku nodded and turned to the city.
“Nothing, you two just enjoy yourselves I got to go check this feeling out. I will see you at the house right Raditz.” Goku said as he looked toward the city and thought how he was going to get there. “You guys don’t happen to have a car do you?” Goku asked Applejack as he chuckled.
Sunset
As Sunset walked in the city toward her new “home” she could help but to think what her plan is now. “I was to come to this place and make it a place for me to rule! To show Celestia she isn’t right all the time! Now with those two things here what can I do! What should I do? Celestia damn it! This was not supposed to happen.” Sunset thought as she finally got to the Canterlot Castle. “I can try to kill them… no that won’t work I have no power. Maybe I can break the school without them or ma-“ Sunset train of thought was broken as she bumped into someone who had a lot of books in front of them and making it all fall.
“Good heavens are you alright miss.” A familiar voice asked as Sunset shook her head and saw a hand out to help the bacon haired girl up. Sunset was about to curse the idiot who was standing in her way until she saw who it was.
“Mrs Book Page?” Sunset asked as the old lady looked at the young woman and looked confused as she pulled her hand back to fix her glasses back onto her face to see clearer.. Her grey white hair as a cloud and her blue eyes stared at Sunset. Upon seeing Sunset she realized she has never seen this kid before.
“Sorry have we met before my memory isn't as good as it once was.” Mrs Book Page asked as Sunset started to grab all the things that fell and she looked at Mrs Book Page. Sunset slowly got on her feet again as she held the books in her arms. Realizing that this Mrs Book Page was from this world and not from her world she started to think of an excuse.
“N-no you just… look like someone I was close with. Sorry. I thought you were an old friend.” Sunset said as she remembered back to Mrs Book Pages last words that were traded between them. “I can't be thinking about her now. I need to keep my head in the game… if i even falter i will lose everything i am working towards!” Sunset thought as she was about to give the books back
“How odd that your friend and I have the same name… and that we look so closely alike. It’s probably my doppelganger hehe. Wait you're the new girl in the Canterlot Castle, I did want to say hello earlier in the morning but you seemed to be in a rush so I thought best against it.” Mrs Book page said as she was putting her hands out for the books Sunset still had. “I wanted to welcome you to the Canterlot castle. And if you need anything or want to talk I am always willing to help. My room is 32 just come by and knock or go to the local library. I usually work there at this time.”
“Thank you for your offer to help me but I think I am best on my o- did you say a library? Is it free?” Sunset asked as she was caught by the word and she then understood why Mrs Book Page had so many books.
“Yes, I am the only person keeping that library up and running if you want you can accompany me there. And yes it’s all free.” Mrs Book Page said as she looked at Sunsets expression and smiled
Sunset looked around and thought of it as she then nodded and the two slowly started to walk to the library as Sunset carried the books all the way.
Goku
Upon getting off the bus Goku sighed and looked around. “Thank goodness Applejack had those dollar bills with her, but I am going to have to pay her back… now back to business where is that energy coming from…” Goku thought as he saw the bus leave.
As Goku looked around he got his plan into action as he closed his eyes to feel the energy he was looking for. As he felt multiple energy forms around him he had a hard time feeling the one he wanted. Sensing the energy of the babies to the elderly in this city he had a hard time finding which one it was. Upon sensing the nearby area he felt a few evil energies but it was very small. Probably a mugging or an attacker so that's where he started.
Goku kept that in mind as he started to walk toward one of the evil energy’s he felt. “Wow this city is huge!” Goku thought as he passed a poster saying “VOTE FOR TIREK HE WILL REK EVIL'' on a nearby wall. People seemed to be walking to their jobs or home. All different ages, dogs and cats that walked around the area. As Goku felt an energy getting closer he saw it was in an alley. Getting ready Goku turned the corner and entered the alley. He saw two officers and a young man picking up the shirt. The officer holding the young man was a bit on the fat side and wore a navy blue uniform and a navy blue hat. The other next to him was scrawny and wore the exact same uniform and hat. The young man hadd Dark grayish indigo hair and gamboge skin color as he had a torn drifter coat and even torn pants.
“Alright low life we need our weekly cut, so cough it up…” the big officer barked as the young man tried to look calm and settle things down.
“Officers, Officers the rent was due next week. I promise i will get your money next monday.” the young man said as he wanted to let the officers relax a bit. He had his hands up and kept his friendly expression up.
“Oh yeah, next monday… that right next monday. I DON’T CARE WHEN THE DATE IS I WANT IT NOW! Capper you have the money don't you buddy?” The fat man yelled at the young man as the scrawny officer saw Goku and tapped his buddy.
“Hey hey we got a watcher…” The scrawny officer spoke as the fat officer looked at Goku and smiled. Quickly letting go of Capper Capper took this advantage to step away from the officers.
“Hi kid, is there something I can help you with? Any problems you have seen or heard of?” the officer said as he walked up to Goku.
Capper, looking a bit worried for the kid, thought it might be best to run, but he knew better. “Yeah i heard a problem, it seems that it's right here. What are you doing to that young man?” Goku asked as the officers didn't seem to worry at all.
“Well you see this is our friend and he owns us some money you know he was drinking and having a bit too much fun this weekend… right Capper?” The scrawny officer asked Capper as he wrapped his arm around Cappers neck.
With a quick nod Goku sensed the negative energy coming from these two officers. “Well why are you threatening him? Hmm. friends don't do that to friends…” Goku stated as the officer stepped back. Before the officer could respond Goku charged him and punched the Officer in the gut and then kicked him in the side of the face. The kick made the officer stumble to the wall and hit it hard knocking him out
As Capper and the other officer saw this the second officer grabbed his gun and held Capper as a hostage. “You were both shot for resisting arrest!” The officer shouted as Capper panicked and didn't know what to say to calm the officer down.
“Really because i know that before you pull that trigger i will have gotten that young man away from you and kicked you in the face!” Goku said as he charged into an energy blast in his hand.
The officer, not seeing the energy blast, started to step away from Goku and kept the young man as a hostage. This was what Goku wanted, pushing all the energy blast on the ground he used the energy to boost his speed and had his right foot out. Before the officer could react the kick made contact and the officer was knocked out before the gun even went off. Capper fell to the side as he quickly got up and put his back to the wall as Goku landed on both his feet.
“How could you be an officer and threaten the people you swore to protect… it's sad. As Goku turned around he saw Capper afraid and shaking a bit but soon got his bravado back. “Are you Okay sir?” Goku asked as he looked a capper
“M-me? Yes I have been fine. I am always fine and thanks for your help.” Capper said as he fixed his hair and went into his drifter jacket and pulled out a 100 dollar bill. “Here is your reward for helping me hero.” Capper said as he wanted this to move on and so he could leave before the officers recovered.
Goku looked at the cash and shook his head. “Sorry but i don't want your money… i have a question actually if you can help me with that that would be good.” Goku explained as Capper nodded and gladly put his money in his pocket.
“Alright shoot kid i know most things about this city. Best parks, best places for mexican food or even Zebron Food.” Capper said as he looked around and then looked back at Goku.
“Alright so have you seen anything evil or felt anything evil around the city? Anything at all?” Goku asked as he saw Capper think and put his hand on his head.
“Yes actually. It was near a um japanese place where they train. It was like going into a freezer and feeling as if hope was lost… why kid?”Capper said as he looked at Goku and Goku was deep in thought
“Do you mean a dojo?” Goku asked as Capper nodded.
“Yeah it is nearby the Yak mall. You can't miss it, it's huge. So is that all you need?” Capper asked as Goku nodded.
“Thanks, um sorry i don't think i got your name. My name is Son Goku, what's yours?” Goku asked as he put his hand out for Capper to shake. Capper looked at the hand as he was unsure about this gesture.
“Um… names Capper, Capper Dapperpaws. Nice to meet you Son Goku…” Capper said as he started to think to himself. “Never in my life have I ever met a stranger that treated me like a normal human. I mostly get glares and am told to go die in a hole… stuff like that but yet there is this kid here shaking my hand and smiling… poor kid won't survive in the streets a day.”
“Nice to meet you Capper, I have to go now, thank you for your help. If i need help i will always try to come find you.” Goku said as Capper smirked and chuckled a bit.
“Alright Goku but next time I might need a bit of money for the information.” Capper said as he waved goodbye to Goku. As Goku turned the corner he waited a few seconds and then proceeded to steal the items of the officers and even handcuff them together and throw the keys away.
Goku started to head to this Yak mall as he had to stop at some places and ask for directions. Through an hour and twenty minutes of asking and following orders he finally found the mall. As Goku started to walk toward the mall and started to try to sense the energy then he felt a spike nearby. As the cold feeling returned he tracked it and started to run that way. “This power level is high! This can’t be good if this is sombra we may be in trouble.” Goku thought as he ran toward the energy
Raditz
As Applejack and Raditz walked alone they were quiet at first. Neither spoke a word or breathed too hard. Raditz’s tail stood as still as possible and Applejack’s hat stayed up.
Walking by one another Raditz thought to himself, “why am I doing this! It’s not like a saiyan to want to spend his free time walking with a person he just met that day! I swear this is Kakarot fault… somehow!”
Applejack thought to herself as well but for a different reason. “Ah don’t know hookah but ah 'have thug feeling' 'is hiding' something'. Is 'e okay with me an 'im walkin'. 'e looks okay but guys could look cool under pressyhaw. So what’s goin' through his head. Ah hope 'e isn’t upset at me”
Overthinking the problem at hand Applejack started to walk slower and Raditz noticed this. “Um hey Applejack are you okay?” Raditz asked as he stopped and looked at her.
As Applejack snapped out of it she looked at him and responded with a quick, “Nope Ahm good!” She scrunched her face and looked around as she had just lied. Raditz not knowing this was her habit for lying didn't say anything at first
“Um alright then wanna continued our walk?” Raditz asked as he saw her expression and then looked at her eyes.
“Y-yes please.” Applejack responded as she didn’t look at him at all. Raditz noticed this.
“Ah damn it… did I do something? What was it… maybe asking a woman to move is a bad thing… but how else was I supposed to get her to keep walking she did say her farm is a bit away.” Raditz thought as he looked at applejack.
“What should I do? I feel guilty and it’s not leaving. Maybe I should apologize for lying. I made things worse for us didn’t I! But he has a secret too I can feel it… is it why he is so tough?” Applejack asked herself in thought as she looked at Raditz and noticed he looked a bit guilty
Radtiz just looked to the evening sky as he saw the sun setting in the distance and then saw the stars slowly coming out. “Raditz?” Applejack said next to him as she had gotten his attention again.
As Radtiz looked at her he asked, “hm?” As he didn’t know how to talk to other people too well when he felt a bit guilty.
“You okay with me? like you okay walkin' home with me and eve-yn jawing at me?” Applejack asked as she looked at Raditz.
“Yeah I don’t mind doing this. I gotta protect the people that helped me too so I don’t mind at all.” Raditz said as he smiled “what the hell am I saying I do mind don’t I! I am a saiyan not a babysitter but… I do like spending time with her…” Raditz quickly thought to himself as Applejack nodded and put a hand on his back.
“Ah know guys ahr allers so quiet an stubborn t' tawk to' some teams but in all honestly ahm 'appy ya ahr hair. Eve-yn fin' we're not jawing at each other, eend ahm sorry for lying' to ya. Ah fill that ah done made things awkward for both of us eend ah don’t wanna ruin this friendship” Applejack said as she smiled and felt a weight leave her soul. She felt Raditz body give a small shiver
“Thanks Applejack… so what's that your lying face, because in all honesty it was kinda funny.” Raditz jokes as Applejack smirked and punched his arm playfully.
“Yeah ya jerk or is so what” Applejack said as she smiled at him. Raditz looked at her and then felt something within himself as he felt his heart bump a bit faster.
Raditz 'face slowly turned red as he felt the need to be closer to Applejack. “What is this feeling! It’s friendship right. It has to be. But why did I never feel this before, with Vegeta and nappa or even mom or dad or Turles… I- oh for the love of god stop overthinking it and enjoy it. I had a long few weeks. I think this is a good reward.” Raditz finally thought as he and Applejack slowly started to walk again and soon they started to speak to one another about their day and other things
Goku
As Goku ran past people and towards the energy he felt the power level get stronger and stronger. He remembered the time he and z warriors fought against demon king piccolo and Piccolo Jr. he knew how it felt to go against them barely making it to the winning circle both times and having a broken body at the end. Goku shook his head and focused on finding the energy.
As Goku finally ran to the energy source he realized it was within a Dojo. Staring at the title of the Dojo “Shadow Crystal clan”, “Another clan? Will it be like the demon clan or the Crane school?” Goku asked no one in particular.
Goku looked around and slowly walked to the dojo and opened the door. Entering the Dojo he sees on the wall their mascot, it was two yellow eyes with smoke behind them. Feeling a shiver go down his back Goku ignores it and walks inside the dojo.
Hearing the attacks of the students in unison Goku knew they were well in class, before stepping deeper Goku saw the mat and removed his running shoes and looked around. Seeing the sensei in the front of the class and seeing the students around the place Goku would have thought it was a normal Dojo until the sensei saw him.
“Class… we have a visitor.” the sensei said as he stopped the class and they all turned around and bowed at Goku. Upon seeing the students' faces Goku saw two very familiar faces. Wind Striker and Phoenix stared at Goku and quickly got up from the bow and both started to walk to Goku.
As Goku got into his stance he prepared for a confrontation, “Wind Striker! Phoenix stand down! This is a guest to the dojo not a enemy!” The sensei commanded as the two stopped and turned to the sensei.
“This punk was one of the brothers that beat us up Sensei! He is one of the brothers that attacked us and didn't listen to the power of the Shadow Crystal clan!” Wind Striker shouted as the Sensei stood and stared at Goku.
I am well aware of that and seeing by the few cuts and small wounds he has it seems that you two barely did any damage to him at all… so tell me did you two beat them as easy as you two said?” The sensei asked with venom in his tone; he didn't sound pleased as the two kids both panicked and bowed.
“Y-yes he was badly beaten along with their friends and his own brother! The video should prove that for us.” Phoenix said as he did not dare to look up. Goku watching this decided to get in the end of it.
“Hey, I have a question!” Goku stated as everyone looked at him, “Who here has had the power to power up? I sensed your energy from high school… and I can tell your intentions are not good…” Goku said as now the Sensei seemed surprised that a small kid would dare come to the home of a beast way stronger than this kid, but instead of answering the question he asked one.
“You are very well trained in fighting styles if you're able to beat my second and third champions… Tell me who taught you?” the sensei asked as Goku didn't respond at first and then chose his words carefully.
“An old friend from a far place, why?” Goku asked as he remembered Master Roshi and Krillin. The sensei saw the expression Goku had and he slowly walked up toward Goku. Goku still staring at the man didn't flinch or move, he stared into the man to see what his next move will be.
“I can tell that your old “friend” is no longer here with us. Your face tells me all I need to know… so tell me why don't you join us. Let us make you a new family and leave a legacy many will remember for years to come.” The sensei said as the students seemed shocked.
Goku didn't move at all, he just stared at the old man, “You think i will leave the people that actually have a heart and care for others then you're dead wrong… i can tell that all these students were taught that you have to be ruthless and cruel to have things in your lives but i met men and students like you before.” Goku said as the Sensei nodded and stepped back to the front of the class.
“You want to know where that powerful energy came from right?” The sensei asked as Goku just nodded and looked around. Trying to sense the energy he felt it nearby, “Well you are going to meet him… Sombra let's test your power against this kid now shall we?” the sensei asked as a student slowly got up.
“Yes Sensei Cobra… should i beat him to a bloody pulp or just test his strength?” The Student asked Sensei Cobra.
“Show him a taste of your power Sombra.., remember we don't want to kill him we want him to bring his brother too…” Sensei Cobra explained as Sombra nodded as turned to his opponent. Goku started now sensing thisengery was what he was searching for.
“We don't have to do this. I came here to try to help you turn good. Please we don't have to fight. There is a better way than being ruthless and cruel. I can show you that way I helped people before.” Goku explained as he saw Sombra walking toward him.
“Sadly it's too late for me.” Were the only things Sombra said as he then roared out and shot his energy up. Goku looked at this sudden burst of energy and knew there was no chance to change his mind.
Sunset
Sunset and Mrs Book Page walked down the sidewalk as Sunset spoke, “But I don't understand why you guys went into a war that could have destroyed the world. And why take the males us women can be strong.” Sunset said as Mrs Book Page only shrugged.
“We are very protective about small things Sunset, we all have different goals and ideas and we even disagree on that. As for taking the males it's because the world believes that females couldn't go into war yet and should be at home treating the kids and raising them. I didn't have any so i was mostly alone at home cleaning and thinking of the man of my life.” Mrs Book Page responded as she opened the door at the back of the library and let Sunset enter first.
“Man? You mean you were married?” Sunset asked as she entered and Mrs Book Page nodded as she followed behind. “Oh does he work here in the library or does he work somewhere else?” Sunset asked as a sad expression took over Mrs.
“Sadly he never returned from the war, he had been one of the first people to enter it and go into the battlefield… I rather not speak of this here you wanted to see our worlds and here we are. If you need any help on finding a book you can always ask me.” Mrs Book Page said in a caring tone, the same caring tone that Sunset remembered her version of Mrs Book Page.
“Thank you for letting me come here and I am sorry for your loss.” Sunset said as Mrs Book Page gave a little nod and smile.
“Now don't stand there and wait. There is so much you can learn here. Enjoy yourself.” Mrs Book Page said as she slowly walked to behind the counter and started to rent out some books for the people that were already in.
Sunset gave a small nod back and started to walk in the halls of the bookshelves as she found a subject that caught her eye: Equestrion history. As sunset grabbed it she was about to pull it but felt it still stay as if someone else was pulling the book. Sunset pulled again as the book was pulled back and upon pulling it one last time Sunset won the tug of war and fell back, until realizing who the other person was pulling it.
“Oh my god Sunset are you okay!” Flash said in a quiet whisper and ran around to help the baconed hair girl up. As Sunset was back on her feet she heard Flash say, “I am so sorry i didn't mean to do that i just really need that book so i can study. Mag doesn't want to help me because i jumped into a fight that i shouldn't have… so i guess i am on my own on this one heh.” Flash whispered as Sunset nodded
“Ah it's fine Flash, here have it i can try to find another one or another book to read.” Sunset said as she put her hand out to let Flash take it.
“Thanks but why are you reading this? Are you doing the same work I am?”Flash asked as Sunset just nodded quickly to respond. “Well then you should join me. That way it will be easier and faster to finish and i dont think your mad at me for jumping into that fight so that's a bonus.” Flash said as Sunset thought of the idea.
“Sounds good, where do you want to sit and before you ask no i don't know much of our history, i used to fall asleep in my class alot so i am pretty behind on the historical facts.” Sunset lied as she wanted to make it easier for others to believe why she was reading so much history.
“Oh thats fine, i just didn't pay attention before i just played games in my class or just flat out blanked out but with you i think i should be fine paying attention with this subject now.” Flash said as he walked to a nearby table and put his bag down and sat down on the chair.
As Sunset saw the other chair she sat down in it and Flash opened the book and went into the fifth chapter. “So tell me did i look good fighting or was i just bad i can't tell i was mostly getting my butt handed to me.” Flash asked in a cocky attitude and Sunset smirked
“You were bad, I think those guys hit you a bit too hard though it seems you got dumber than before.” Sunset said playfully as she punched Flashs arm and Flash winced a bit but both made a small laugh.
Mrs Book Page seeing this a bit away smiled at the two kids as she thought those two would be a great couple. Stamping another book out to a kid as she decides to keep the library open a bit longer.
Sunset pulled out some paper and folded it the same way Flash did as Flash had gone a bit quiet, “Hey Flash you okay? You got quiet.” Sunset asked as Flash got out of his train of thought and nodded.
“Yes I am good just thinking about Mag, recently she has been acting a bit off, and now I think she hates me because she didn't want to help me with my work. I don't blame her, I would blame me too. It just sucks you know I hate being on people's badsides. Same with the two brothers I met today. They seem like nice guys but I recently heard rumors of them. That they ruined friendships in other highschools that they ruled it like it was a kingdom for them to rule and that they bullied anyone they wanted… i don't see that happening here but i am not sure. What do you think?” Flash asked Sunset as she saw Flash's true colors, a man trying to be the best but slowly failing because of negativity.
“I just think you have a great heart but dont know when to stop caring for people you shouldn't. People who are toxic will hurt you people who are negative will always bring you down i say you should just listen to your own heart and be who you want to be” Sunset said as Flash and her smiled at one another.
“Alright thanks Sunset… now lets get this work done.” Flash said as he opened the book and together they read.
Raditz
The apple farm was quiet as the chirping of birds slowly went to bed, the insects came out to feed. The sky was dark as the moon was half full and two people were walking and laughing on the dirt road, “and then Big Mac fell over the table and all the pies fell on us!” Applejack laughed as Raditz smiled and chuckled.
“What did you three do after that?” Raditz asked as he wanted to hear the rest of the story. Applejack seemed to have a great time on this walk and Raditz realized he was too. It was strange for the Saiyan but he didnt put too much thought into it as his mother would take him for walks around the low class area when he was younger.
“Granny came in eend saw thuh disaster we done made and we all heard her say, "ah im gettin' ta ole for this." As she done walked out we all laughed and directly cleaned uhp our mess.” Applejack said as she was walking, upon taking the next step she stepped on a rock and her boot went to the side. As she fell Raditz had caught her since he was on the side she was falling towards.
“Woah you okay there Applejack?” Raditz asked as he looked down at her and she looked up at him for a second Raditz felt his heart stop as he saw her eyes, before he could say or do anything a light shined on them as Big Mac was about to go searching for his sister in his car.
“Hey AJ, what in tarnation are ya doing!” Big Mac asked as AJ didnt know how to respond the position they were in was bad not only that but she didnt want to let Big Mac see Raditz, “You, ya are the idiot that had brought my sister into that brawl at the school arnt ya?” Big Mac asked as Raditz looked back and forth.
“Big Mac Wait ah kay-yun explain ah was jus' gettin' company to walk me home thats all ah swear its nuthin else!” Applejack tried to explain to her older brother as he wasnt listening to any of this.
“AJ get in the truck. Now.” Big Mac ordered his little sister, before Applejack could protest Big Mac repeated the word “NOW!” in a harder tone.
Raditz stared at Applejack looking at the two and he nodded to Applejack as he didnt want to hurt her brother but wouldnt feel too bad if he did, “Alright now i know i am sick, i dont want to hurt her brother for what reason? Why do i care for others feelings. Especially hers and kakarots. Damn it this whole place is making me weak.” Raditz thought as Applejack had gotten into the truck and didnt say anything just stared outside.
“Alright listen to me and listen well ah dont want you anywhere near my little sister, i know guys your type, your brutes that can’t think for themselves and would turn tail and hide. You fight because you think its cool to fight and thats just wrong, so hear my words and dont even dare think of going near Applejack got it?” Big Mac said as Raditz was quiet until he finished.
“Are you done? Look she is just a friend, I just walked her home and that was that, i cant believe you even left her at the school by herself dont you care for her at all?” Raditz said as Big Mac scoffed.
“Ah left her because she said she was going to catch up with some friends, so i came home and waited for a message back only ta find ya and her holding one another.” Big Mac said as Raditz and him were at the edge of punching it out.
As Big Mac took a step to Raditz, as he had his fist clenched, “Dont punch him Raditz he is just acting tough, there is no way in hell he will punch me…” Raditz thought as he saw Big Mac face to face both being tall and muscular.
“Ya better start walking now or else.” Big Mac threatened as Raditz scoffed and smirked
“Or else what Mac?” Raditz asked as he just looked him in the eye, Applejack in the car was now worried there will be a all out brawl.
As Raditz was about to speak again he felt a hard punch on his stomach, falling to one knee and holding onto his stomach he felt the knee of Big Mac hit him right in the face as he fell back. As Big Mac thought that was that he started to walk away from the wounded Raditz, “h-hey… dont you dare ignore me…” Raditz said as he stood up again though a bit winded and bleeding through his lip he wiped it away.
Big Mac turned around a bit shocked and sighed as he now knew this man can take a few hits and will most likely fight back now. “Fine lets get this over with.” Big Mac said as he walked to Raditz. Throwing a punch at Raditz the Saiyan grabbed it with his fist and held it there.
“If this is the best you can do then i am sorry but your only going to get a few good hits in. Now listen, i am going to be nice and just walk away but you are not to get Applejack in trouble now alright…” Raditz said as he “why am i caring. Why am i not beating the everlasting shit out of this kid, why am i worried for a girl i just met.”
Big Mac threw another punch and that made contact to Raditz chin, at first Big Mac smiled and Applejack closed her eyes but soon the Apple brother and sister saw Raditz slowly move his face back and even smile. “I have to admit your punches are hard and could do alot of damage, but luckly for me I think you need more speed in your punch to do enough to hurt me. So how about we end this here and go our separate paths… i brought Applejack home safely might i add and you gotta hit me three times.” Raditz said as he went into his mind and thought again, “Am i becoming weak? It… It cant be… I am Raditz son of Barock. I am a ruthless saiyan that was born to fight and kill. Then why do i care for how Applejack sees me. Damn it its all Kakarot's fault”
As Raditz pushed Big Mac back he sighed and turned around as he started to walk toward the exit of the apple farm leaving the siblings to their own thoughts. As Applejack exited the car she went next to Big Mac as he was looking at his fist, no one had ever caught his fist or received a hit to the head and still been fine with only a few bruises. “now hooaah done ya 'ave t' gitty-up an do that! 'e done squat wrong!” Applejack asked as Big Mac sighed
“Just get in the truck AJ.” was all Big Mac said as he turned away and walked to the car leaving Applejack alone to see Raditz walk off toward the city.
Raditz on the other hand was deep in thought as he was still trying to figure it out. “Why… whats wrong with me why do i care for a human that cant even shoot a energy blast to a wall? Why do i feel happy being near her and why do i think her view on me matters… i am just acting! Thats it i am getting their trust and soon i will back stab them all and reconnect to the others… right?” Raditz thought as he turned to the Apple trees he was leaving as he thought. “No… no its not.” Raditz thought as he closed his eyes and flew into the air and headed to the orphanage.
Goku
As Goku got punched he managed to blocked the hit with his arms forming a X. The Punch sending him back a few feet he charged up his energy getting ready for the fight ahead of him. Seeing Sombra charging at Goku he jumped back and barely missed the punch. Goku landed back on his feet and went into the attack as he started to throw punches back at Sombra. As Goku punched he realized that sombra was just blocking them all with the palm of his left hand. Throwing a punch at Sombras face Sombra grabbed Gokus wrist and slowly started to crush it.
“AHH”Goku yelled as Sombra chuckled at first and then felt a sudden heat at his chest. Upon looking down he saw a energy blast charging up as everyone in the Dojo looked in shock.
“Sombra DODGE!” Sensei Cobra shouted as Goku yelled and blasted Sombra before he could react. When the blast hit Sombra in the gut he let go of Gokus arm and Goku charged into the smoke as he could sense Sombras energy still.
Sombra being blinded by the smoke and winded couldnt see where Gokus next attacks were going to be at as he felt a kick to his side and a punch on his left. A punch to the face and then another to the back of his knee. All these punches had alot of force as Goku wanted to make his attacks count. As the smoke started to leave Sombra could start to see the outline of Goku as he proceeded to grab Gokus leg and bring his elbow down to Gokus knee. Goku grunted in pain but kept got free of the hold Sombra had.
“Damn none of my attacks are doing anything! What do i do? THE KAMEHAMEHA! That could be enough but i dont want to kill him i just want to damage him to the point where he cant fight.” Goku thought as he saw Sombra do something. As Sombra put his hands up Goku felt his ki rising and soon saw two small red energy balls forming in Sombras hands. “Wait! What!” Goku shouted as Sombra chucked them at Goku.
Goku grabbed the first ball not wanting to hit it anywhere since innocents were near the mall and the students were still watching the fight. Being pushed back Goku saw the second one coming for him. Thinking on his feet Goku yelled as he shot a energy blast point blank at Sombras first ball and before he could shoot another it hit him directly on the chest. Though not burning his clothes it went into Goku and effected him there as Goku went flying to the wall and hit it hard with a thud.
The students cheered their leader as Sombra smirked and released the little breath he had left. “Good job Sombra good job. I knew that kid never had a chance.” Sensei Cobra walked to Sombra as he clapped.
Nodding Sombra smiled, “Too bad he fell fast, i wanted a longer fight than that.” Sombra said as the students around him asked if he could show them how to do all the things he did. As Sombra was getting the attention he wanted he failed to notice Goku getting back up on his feet.
“D-Dang his attacks are strong… I dont know if i should stay and fight or go tell raditz about this guy. Raditz wont even be close to this monsters attacks…” Goku thought as he slowly started to limping to the door trying to get to the exit.
Wind Striker noticed this and was about to bring Goku back in for round two Sombra put his hand on Wind Strikers shoulder and shook his head. “I got this.” Was all Sombra said as he walked to the weakened Goku.
As Goku got the door open he felt a hand on his shoulder as he turned around and saw Sombra. “Here let me help you with that. Hope your time here in the Dojo was good i think its time for you to leave.” Sombra said as Goku was confused.
“W-what” Goku asked as he turned to Sombra and saw the energy blast that was now point blank to his chest. “W-wait!” Goku started but before he could continue Sombra blasted him. Though the blast was hard it didn't go through Goku and more exploded in front of him it still sent him flying. Goku hit the glass railing so hard it broke and he fell from the second story to the first
Fluttershy and Rainbow were both walking toward the exit of the mall as the mall was soon to close for the night. “Come on Flutters tell me i was cool today or was I awesome!” Rainbow asked Fluttershy as Fluttershy happily rolled her eyes and nodded.
“HA I knew it. I still got it. Aren't you lucky to have me as your best friend Rainbow Dash everywhere you go?” Rainbow asked Fluttershy as she took a drink of the soda she had bought.
“Yes but i do feel worried for Applejack, her brother is very protective and i think Applejack is good friends with that Radtiz guy.” Fluttershy said as Rainbow spit the soda out and looked at Fluttershy
“Your kidding me right! Those two guys are weird and trouble! We wouldnt have had to fight if they were not at the school! I say that they could leave the school.” Rainbow started as she coughed the last of the soda out. Fluttershy was about to ask a question but Rainbow already knew it. “And no i didnt jump into the fight to help the two brothers i jumped in to help Applejack, she shouldnt have gotten into their business. If the shadow crystal clan had beef with the two brothers Applejack shouldnt have gotten involved.”
As Rainbow finished Fluttershy thought about it as she soon nodded, “ I guess that makes sense but-” Fluttershy started but the a sudden loud explosion from above them got their attention as they saw someone falling from the edge of the railing and land with a hard thump.
“HOLY SHIT!” Rainbow shouted as she and Fluttershy ran to the guy that had just fallen over the edge. Upon reaching the body Rainbow knew exactly who this person was by the jacket they were wearing. “Oh great you even mention them and they will jump off a edge. Where is this idiots brother.” Rainbow said as Fluttershy gasps and ran to Gokus side.
As Gokus had landed on his right side Fluttershy quickly ran to his aid and started to look at Gokus unocnsious body. “Hes alive...R-R-Rainbow Hes- hes hurt!” Fluttershy said as she had her fingers on his neck feeling his pulse as Rainbow sighed.
“I mean yeah he just fell off the edge of a second story of this place. How the hell is he even alive i mean look at him he seems like he should have hit the ground and died.” Rainbow said as Fluttershy started to feel her anxiety kicking in.
“Rainbow we need a ambulence!” Fluttershy said to Rainbow as Rainbow looked at the place where Goku fell. “Rainbow PLEASE!” Fluttershy yelled as Rainbow looked back down to her.
“Look Fluttershy i dont think we should get involved with this. It can be dangerous for us! I mean seriously the shadow crystal clan lives right above us! We should leave let someone else help him.” Rainbow said as Fluttershy shook her head and seemed upset
“N-NO who here will help him! We dont know if we are the last people here or if anyone else will help him! Please Rainbow just do it he can die in my hands!” Fluttershy shouted as she started to feel a tear crawl down her face.
Rainbow crossed her arms and shook her head. “ No flutters we need to leave now i wont get you into danger too. I can protect myself but you its a different story!” Rainbow said as she turned away and looked around.
“Rainbow?” Fluttershy said as she was now crying, Rainbow turned her head to see Fluttershy and saw her puppy eyes.
“Oh no No. stop with the puppy eyes… it doesnt work on me so just stop…” Rainbow said as she had closed her eyes and opened them again. Seeing Fluttershy’s puppy eyes Rainbow felt the guilt of making her friend use them weight on her. “ Stop Fluttershy STOP. it wont work on me!” Rainbow said until she saw Fluttershy start to cry. “God...damnit Flutters FINE i will call a stupid ambulance…” Rainbow said finally giving in as Fluttershy smiled
As Rainbow started to call the Ambulance Fluttershy noticed something. Fluttershy started to observe the rest of Gokus body and at his tail bone was a brown monkey tail laying on the ground as it didnt move. “Rainbow?” Fluttershy said as Rainbow groaned.
“Dont tell me he died.” Rainbow said as she turned around and saw what Fluttershy was pointing at as Rainbow saw the monkey tail as well.
“We don't grow monkey tails do we?” Asked fluttershy
Sunset
As Sunset and Flash both waved goodbye Sunset smiled as she held her backpack. “So I take it you and that young man are a thing?” Mrs Book Page asked as she walked near Sunset
Sunset jumped a bit but then relaxed as she looked at the librarian. “W-what! No we arnt a thing, we are just friends, I don’t even have time to be a thing with others pon- people. I have a mission and a cause.” Sunset said as Mrs Book Page didn’t believe her.
“Do you want to know what I think?” Mrs Book Page asked as Sunset put a book back on the shelf only to grab another nearby book.
“I don’t have a choice do I?” Sunset asked as she read the title of the book and shook her head and put it back as she looked for another.
“If you ask me, you shouldn’t let young love go away from you. You might think “I will have all the time in the world” but take it from this old fossil, love dimmers away once you get older. It’s better to find it now then later because no one will want to have a relationship with a wise old woman.” Mrs Book Page said as she turned to Sunset and noticed Sunset stopped.
“And if they are already taken then what? And if my own goals are more important what do I do…” Sunset asked as Mrs Book Page smiled as she knew she gotten through to Sunset.
“Believe me when I say that love is the most important thing in life, some people might not need it and some live off of love, you will have to choose what is the best outcome for you. Love or your own work. And if that young man is taken then you can try to wait or you can get up and look for a better man. One that will treat you right.” Mrs Book Page finishes as she walked passed Sunset.
As Sunset looked at Mrs Book Page she was reminded that the other Mrs Book Page from equestria had no kids or lover but had many stories Sunset chose not to listen to. Sunset pushed the book back into its place and walked to Mrs Book Page. “You wouldn’t happen to have any nice romantic stories would you?” Sunset asked as Mrs Book Page looked at Sunset with a smile.
“Well it is pretty slow tonight, not many people around here tonight like usual, if you want you can help me and for your help I will tell you a few stories from this old book.” Mrs Book Page said as Sunset smiled and nodded
Walking around the desk she grabbed kart that was full with books and looked at Mrs Book Page again. “So where do we put these books?” Sunset asked as Mrs Book Page walked to her.
