Chapter 2: Hero Portaler, Meet the Apples

As Ryan and Apple Bloom walked over to the Apple Family's house, they saw a path that led from the apple tree farm to the actual house and barn of the family, they took the path and continued to walk along the way. Ryan did think it would be faster and easier if he just flew or used his super speed to get there quickly but he didn't want to risk it for two reasons, one: he wants to keep a low profile around this place, especially those two high power levels he felt before when he first got he and he decided not to draw any attention to himself so he keeped his power level down so he won't be discovered, and two: he didn't want to hear any more questions that he is already getting from the small chatterbox that was next to him.

"I sawer on Dende's name, I'm going to send myself to other world if this kid won't shut THE FUCK! UP!!" he thought to himself as he clenched his fist and gritted his teeth as Apple bloom continued to ask him more and more questions.

"No, I'm not going to show you how I defeated those wolfs back there," he said as he let out a sigh "the last thing I need is a kid like you running around doing the stuff I know how to do in this worl- I mean, in Equestria"

"awww come on, pleassss," she said as she put on some puppy eyes and a sad cute face to persuade him to teach her, but all she got was him shaking his head at her as she then just powtied.

"Sorry Apple bloom, but no" he said with hopes it's over.

She then stopped making the cute face as she then started to pout as they continued to walk with complete silence.

"....."

".....so-"

"FUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!!!" he yelled in his mind as he just let out a sigh as he looked at her.

"What part of Equestria are you from? I don't think I know of a place or anypony else that looks like you" she said as she tilted her head as she tried to think if she saw anything like him.

As soon as she asked that he started to get norvise a little as he tried to make an excuse. However luck was on his side as they were about to come up to the house, "Hey look" he said as he pointed to the house as she turned her head and saw they were about to walk up to the door.

"Oh! look at that, we're here!" she said with a smile on her face as she ran up to the door and opened it, "I'm home!"

As Ryan was still walking up to the door he heard two people running from in side as he walked in he saw two people that were a little similar but they were older, one was a female girl that had emerald eyes and orange fur as her main and tail were blond and she was wearing a white colored T-shirt that was tied at the bottom as it was revealing a little bit of her stomach. She was also wearing long pant blue jeans that had a few holes in them where the knees were as her tail was blond too and coming out of a hole in the back of her pants as she had cowboy boots and she also had a brown cowboy hat that looked like some of her hair was hiding in it.

The next was a male guy that had the same color eyes as the girl, he had red fur as he looked like he was preity strong if his muscles said anything that made Ryan's fist tingle a little as he wanted to fight him but he put his Saiyan instincts to the side for now, the guy had a dirty blond hair but was a little orange looking too. He was also wearing a red neck chest pattern T-shirt as he was also wearing long blue jeans where he had his tail coming out from the back as well and his pants were a little worn out but a little dirty as he was wearing cowboy boots as well but they were also dirty as well. The two then saw him as they stopped hugging Apple bloom as the girl and guy got in front of Apple bloom as they got in what looked like to protect her.

"Who are you?" the girl asked in a serious tone as she looked like she was about to kick his ass.

"Whoa, Whoa calm down no need to go ahead and throw fist at me just because I walked in your house...well...actually you can but I have my reasons" Ryan said as he tried to defuse the situation as he didn't want to fight them, they were Apple bloom's family, and as much as he wants to REALLY punch something right now, he can't do that as it would both give him a bad reputation with not just Apple bloom's family but with others if they would go on tell people they know about him and that would make him VERY known throughout this place and he would be either be arrested and going somewhere with higher authorities, not a good idea when your trying to stay low.

"Oh yeah? and what are those reasons huh?" the girl asked as she eyed the man in front of her up and down as she had never seen anyone like him before. Ryan then was about to say something Apple bloom got in front of him and put her arms out like she was shielding him from her family

"Y'all don't need to go and hurt him or throw him out, he saved me from some Timberwolves when I was walking back from Zecora's," she said as she turned around to look at him and smiled. She then looked to the girl "and AppleJack you know I'm telling the truth"

The girl, who Ryan just found out her name was Apple Jack, first looked at him then back to her sister, she then let out a sigh as she then put down her fist and as soon as the man saw this he did the same.

“Alright Apple bloom I believe you,” she said as she walked up to Ryan and offered him her hand, “sorry about that I just got a protective when my little sister there didn’t come home at the right time, you how it is”

“Ummm sure” he said as he then took her hand he gave her a good handshake, when he did Apple Jack winced a little bit as he forgot his own strength and squeezed her hand a little bit. He then didn’t shake her hand for long as he let go of her hand, she then took her hand and made sure it wasn’t broken, “Sorry about that I ummm forget my own strength sometimes” he said not completely lying to her.

“It’s fine don’t worry about it,” she said as she pointed to herself “I’m AppleJack that guy over there is Big Mac,” she said pointing to the man.

“Eyep'' he said as she continued “and you already know our little sister here Apple bloom” she said patting Apple bloom’s head as she giggled a little “and one more GRANNY!!” she yelled as Ryan had to cover his ears at her yelling all the sudden. After sometime he heard someone walking down the stairs, “I’m coming I’m coming no need to yell,” someone said as it sounded like an old lady with some kindness in it. When they walked around the corner of a open doorway Ryan saw a old lady that had dark lime green fur and had a small white bandana holding her silver white hair in a bun, she was wearing a tan color t-shirt as she was wearing some blue jeans that were a little worn out and a small piece of cloth that was orgen and had big red apples on it.

The old lady looked at Apple Jack then to Ryan as she smiled “Oh! Are you Apple Jack’s boyfriend?” She asked Apple Jack to blush bright red as the other two siblings laughed a bit but Ryan just tilted his head in confusion as just like Goku he didn’t understand women, the old woman, who is aprintly their grandma, then started to laugh a little as she saw her granddaughter being so flustered.

“Oh liten up Apple Jack I’m just teasing you” she said as she walked over to Ryan, “I heard everything from up stairs these walls ain’t too thick you know hehehe” after her little joke she then got a serious look on her face as she looked Ryan in the eyes. This didn’t faze him but he knew that whatever she was going to talk about she wanted a straight answer from him.

“Is it ture that you saved my young little granddaughter Apple bloom from those nastiy Timberwolves?” She asked as the tension in the room changed all the sudden as Ryan and Granny looked at each other as it made the siblings a little nervous as to what would happen.

After what felt like centuries Ryan then finally answered, “I did, I was traveling along that foriest outside your farm and I heard her screaming for help, I quickly ran to her voice and found her about to be dog food until I stepped in” after he said that Granny then took in the information and then smiled at him.

“Well thank you so much for saving her, I would have been so dreadful and lost if I knew my sweet little Apple bloom would have gone away by those filthy animals”

Ryan smiled as he then gave her a bow, “It’s no problem, I was merely just helping her” He said as Granny laughed a little at his bow.

“You don’t need to thank me and no need to be formurl, come you look like you could need something to eat” She said as she then started to walk in the kitchen to start to make dinner, Ryan then regan his posture as he looked at Apple bloom. “So that was your grandma?”

“Mhm, her name is Granny Smith. She is a very kind person and is always willing to help anypony” She said as she then went off to the kitchen to help her grandma with making dinner.

“I can see that” He said as he then went to a nearby window as he looked out of it, he started to think about what to do laying low and not being seen by anyone was his original plan. But right now that wasn’t an option, he was now going to have to lay low for now with this Apple family, might help them out on their farm to get some un-noticeable training, thank Denda he trained with Master Roshi, now chores were nothing but training to him.

As he continued to look out the window he could feel Apple Bloom’s ki moving over to him, he sensed the others in another room and he could smell the delicious smell of apple food, needless to say he could tell it was dinner time. As he was looking out the window Apple Bloom then came up behind him to, you guessed it, to tell him dinner was ready, like the smell of the food and the sounds of the others setting the table in another room couldn’t tell him that, well he did have different ways to tell dinner was ready but that was unfair for her as she didn’t have his better senses and abilities so he would let that slide.

As it then came sooner or later he then felt her tap on his leg, “Hey Ryan dinner is ready!” she said as he turned his head to look at her as she was wearing a big smile on her face that looked so innocent it could melt anyone’s heart even if they were pure evil, like vegeta or janemba or even beerus…..well….maybe not those last two but probably vegeta.

Anyways Ryan then smiled and nodded at her as he thanked her, she then looked at the window and looked outside to only see her family’s apple tree farm and the night sky with the moon shining beautifully, but that was normal she was looking for what he was staring at, “Hey Ryan, what were you staring at? There’s nothing out there”

“Huh? Oh I wasn’t staring at anything, I was just thinking” he said as he then was about to walk to the other room to eat. Unfortunately she was back at it again with the never ending questions that would literally kill someone listening to them.

“What were you thinking about?”

“Umm...stuff”

“What kind of stuff?”

“Fuck sake, important stuff, now please stop asking questions I have to save them for your family, because I’m pretty sure they have some” He said as he thanked Danda that she understood and started to follow him to the dining room.

As they came in they found the table set FULL of food! Forget manners his saiyan stomach was hungry as he was literally drooling as he wanted to dive right in! He then quickly sat down as he was hungry but he had a little self restraint to be polite and wait for the people of the house to sit down first, they then slowly started to come in as Granny Smith and Apple Bloom giggled a little bit as they saw their gest wanting to eat, as they sat down Apple Bloom was the first to speck, “Well? Go ahead! Eat up!” As she said that Ryan nodded and looked at the food, but they were a little confused as they saw Ryan clap his hands together and closed his eyes and bowed his head, “Thank you for the food” and when he said that all hell broke loose.

After a few hours later the Apple family still couldn’t believe their eyes at how much food their guest was eating, so far he has eaten 25 apple pies, 34 apple chips, 19 caramel apples, 23 cups of Apple cider, and 45 apple crisp and yet he was still eating. He then was finishing his 26th apple pie and 24th apple cider which he did like but he didn’t like the fact it tasted almost like alcohol considering he didn’t really like beer or stuff like that but he didn’t want to be rude so he continued to drink, he was glad that alcohol didn’t affect him.

he then set his plate down satisfied from the food, “ahhhh that was delicious Miss Granny Smith, I don’t think I have that much apple food let alone be sooooo good~” he said as he patted his stomach as he was…. almost full, but he didn’t want to eat this family out of house and home as they are a farm owning family, meaning they need some of those apples to sell for money and pay for stuff so again he didn’t ask for more.

The Apple family just stared at him, Big Mac just saw in awe and wonder how someone could eat that much and not gain any pounds, while Apple Bloom was in amazement ….and in a food coma as she tried to see if she could beat the saiyan but ultimately failed not even half way in as she was in her chair moaning and groaning as she will have a tough time sleeping and a bigger tough time in the morning.

Meanwhile Granny Smith was happy, not that she had to make more food but the fact that someone like him was able to clear his plate and complimented her food so she was pretty happy about that. Lastly AppleJack was, both amazed and a little disgusted as she wasn’t perticlery the one to judge how people eat as she was a farmer but it made her a little bit disgusted as he was a wild animal eating food for the first time in years.

After AppleJack was done being disgusted she shook her head of her previous thoughts so she could talk to him, “So Ryan, where are you from? I don’t think someone like you could live in ponyville without being noticed, trust us we know” she said as her and her family laughed and giggled a little bit making Ryan a little confused as to why they were laughing but shrugged as he guessed he would find out soon.

Problem was though that if he had to tell them where he lives, he was about to panic when he then got a clever idea, “Well I live in a city very, very far away that is not really on any map but it’s there. I guess you could say it’s like a...hidden city” he said hoping that would work, but even though he didn’t know this worlds timeline he didn’t know if it was safe to say he was from a city full of time traveling heros that go around keeping the timeline in the right way will fighting aliens, god’s, and other weird stuff that makes no sense.

As he was thinking the others were pretty amazed from his story, Apple Bloom was the most fascinated in his story as she wondered what a city that was hidden, like the Crystal Empire but that was heard of and stuff, but this place was never heard of so that made it more awesome to her. However Apple Jack wasn’t amazed as she was giving him a stern look, like she was looking for something which made Ryan start to worry a little bit but didn’t show it is….is she trying to see if I was lying? Why? Why would she all the sudden try to see if I was lying? And why now? he thought to himself as he looked at her too.

After a while she then smiled at him “That really sounds interesting, you should tell us more about it later” she said as she continued to eat her food.

He was confused and still wondering, she just gives him a stern look then just goes back to all happy and fun times like nothing just happened? No he could tell that something was up, no one and that means one just gives you a stern look for no reason. He could definitely tell that she didn’t believe his story but there were two things he didn’t get, the first was that if she knew he was lying he technically was telling the truth just twisting it a little bit.

Conton City was a place that was really far away and it was hidden, it just wasn’t on this planet, the other thing was why she was so interested in figuring out if he was telling the truth or not. He would understand that if it was him and he had a complete stranger come into his home and it was someone he has never seen before, he too would be skeptical too but only a little bit not straight up get on to the persons case and try to find out if they are who they say they are.

But if there was a history with them and strangers coming around here he could understand that, besides this is a new world and again he doesn’t know this place's history so he guessed that he just needs to go along with it until he could get some backstory later. After dinner everyone was happy as Ryan then thanked Granny Smith for the food, as Apple Bloom and Big Mac were helping clean up after dinner AppleJack was walking Ryan to his room.

As they were walking Ryan keeped on seeing pictures all over the walls, “You have a lot of family pictures Apple Jack, this place is covered wall to wall with them” he said in fascination as one photo caught his eye and stopped and looked at it as it was a picture of their family again, but this one had a man and a women he never seen before.

The man was a tall one as he looked like he stays in shape, probably the effects of working on a farm, he had yellow fur along with a short hairstyle along with it being a sort of cherry red color and a cowboy hat that looked like Apple Jacks, he was wearing a white cooler shirt and some old blue jeans that had a few holes in them form hard working and that’s all he could see. The other, which was a woman that was slightly a little bit shorter than the man, was wearing a red undershirt as she was wearing a blue jeans jacket that had red apples on the shoulders and a few pockets, she was also wearing blue jeans that had two or three tares in it. And she had a little bit of a dark hair of orange along with it being very curly as she had a sort of white and tan-ish fur, he also saw that the woman was holding a baby and the baby looked a little bit like AppleJack.

This must be Applejack's parents, I wonder where they are. I didn’t see anyone else or sense anyone else here…...hmmm maybe- he was about to finish his thought when all the sudden he was pulled out of it when Apple Jack grabbed his arm and started to drag him to where they were going “Huh?”

“Well come on then partner, we ain't going to get to where your staying just standing there” she said as she then let go of his arm

“O-oh right, sorry I was just lost in my thoughts” he said as he continued to follow her but he then took a quick glance at the picture before returning to look in front of himself.

After some walking for a minute or two he then saw her stop at a door that looked really maintained, Apple Jack then turned to him and opened the door for him “Here you are, home sweet home” she said as Ryan then walked in and looked around the room. It was a fair size room not to big nor was it not to small but pretty fair it did have a window at the back of the room to let the night time light shine in, there also wasn’t much in the room showing that it was just a guest room as there was only a medium sized bed pushed to the right corner of the wall with a side table to the left it. There was also a small lap on it to give more light in the room if needed, there was a closet and a mirror on the other side of the room in the corner of the room, so at least he has some place he can put his clothes and stuff. Lastly in the room there was a small bookshelf next to the door, there were some books in it so at least it wasn't there taking up space.

Apple Jack then tapped his shoulder to get his attention as he turned around to see her giving him some extra sheets for his bed, “There you go now, I hope you sleep well”

“Thank you, and I hope you do too” as he said that she then left him and closed the door. He looked around before walking over to the bed as he set the sheets on the side table and laying down on the bed with his hands behind his head.

He looked up at the ceiling thinking on what to do, he now had to think of a new plan he could just leave right now. Out the window take flight instinct transmission to where he was, open a capsule for a good house to stay in and wait for the time to come….though...that would hurt Apple Bloom’s feelings….she would be sad yeah….and….disappointed…..

He let out a sigh knowing that he couldn’t just leave right now, it would hurt this nice family’s feelings. Great now he’s letting his emotions get in the way of his thinking, he then got out of bed and went to the window to look out and see what else he could do tomorrow to get in some training. But he was taking away from the farm to see that there was a town just past the gate of the farm and a road to the town, but the thing that got his attention was the huge crystal castle in the middle of it, it was completely beautiful as it had a purple and gold contrans going on and it had what looked like a huge purple star at the top of it, must be the symbol of the king and queen there.

It looked really beautiful two with how the moon shined on it, question was though that how does no one go blind from it when the sun shines on it, it’s made of crystal, crystals tend to reflect light more brightly then it needs to be, so either it doesn’t at all, it does but only a little bit, or that this world is other bullshit and the laws of physics and nature be damned.

He’s thoughts were then interrupted by a small knock at the door, he was about to say something before the door opened anyway to show Apple Bloom walking in.

Note to self, privacy is nonexistent in this world, be sure to lock the door next time he said in his head making a mental note before turning to her.

“Hey Apple Bloom, what’s up?” he asked to see her walking up to him and looking out the window with him.

“I wanted to come see how you are doing, you look like you have something on your mind” she said looking at him.

Now this is a predicament, he could tell her why but should he though? He doesn’t know if she could keep his secret or even if it would matter, this is technically not his universe nor does he know jackshit about it’s timeline.

He continued to think for a moment before answering her, “Nope, nothing is bothering me kid. I’m just thinking about tomorrow is all don’t worry” he said as he wasn’t going to tell her the truth...well… not yet at least, he preferred to give it some time before he did.

“Oh! Okay well I’ll let you be,” she said as she was making her way out of the room before turning around to him, “Good night Ryan”

“Good night kid” he said seeing her close the door, he then looked back to the town for a little bit more, he then let out a sigh along with a small yawn as he then went to the door locking it and going to his bed to get some sleep.

Somewhere in the night in the Everfree Forest

The dark figure was walking around after it was stepping over the hundreds of branches of dead Timberwolves as the dark figure looked to see the injured ursa major crying over it’s young that had been killed by the dark figure when all the suden the ursa major's crying was silented by the figure as it had shot a ki blast blowing off it’s head, it then continued to walk past the corpses as it then came up to a hill to look and see the small and familiar town with a castle in the midlie of it...ponyville.

The figure after looking at the town and where it was going then smiled evily letting out a low chuckle.
