High School Poet

by Peace Poet

A Freestyle Battle That's a Drag-On

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

It was about 6:00 in the morning and Twilight Sparkle and her friends, including Peachbottom, the dorm keeper, were all dressed and eating breakfast. But someone was missing from the dorm house. Peace Poet, a Saiyan from Earth, was not present. This has Fluttershy worried, as she asked...

"Um, where's Peace? Shouldn't he be up by now?", the shy mare asked, as Pinkie Pie brought out her detective hat, magnifying glass, a pipe (which blows bubbles), as she was about to search the whole dorm to look for Peace. Twilight used her magic to make a magic bubble to stop Pinkie, as she answered Fluttershy's question.

"Peace went to the castle to look at some books in the library for history in Equestria, both for school and his freestyle battle against Garble. But for some reason, he was dressed in a hoodie and all black.", Twilight was happy and confused; happy about Peace learning Equestria's history but confused about why he's wearing all black. Applejack and the rest of their phones went off for each a text message from Hyper Active. Sunset Shimmer read the message, since each of the messages are the same.

"If Peace is wearing all black, that means he's going in personal battle mode whenever he's in a freestyle. When it's not personal, then he's in regular clothes. That's all. Oh, and he'll be taking his Chevelle SS to school today. And it's a little beefier than his Cobra.", just as Sunset finished reading the message, they heard a loud rumble from the garage, as they ran outside to see Peace in his Chevelle.

"Great Celestia! I thought the Cobra was loud, but the Chevelle is as loud as a tiger.", AJ said, as Peace got out of the car to let it idle, and he really was wearing all black. Shirt, pants, hat, and even shoes were all black.

"Mornin', ladies! Sorry that I didn't greet y'all earlier this mornin', but I had ta say bye ta Pop before he left for Earth. He would've said bye to y'all, but he had ta go ta work. He did say bye and hopes ta see y'all again soon.", Peace said with a smile, as Rarity spoke.

"Like you, Peace, he's a gentleman. Are you really going to battle Garble, darling?", she said with a voice of concern.

"I'm good, this isn't the only freestyle battle I've been in. But after what Gable's been doin' ta Spike and ta y'all, I wanna see what he got.", Peace said with seriousness in his voice.

"Well, you need to be careful. There's no telling what Garble has plan. He and especially Blueblood might have a plan to hurt you.", Starlight Glimmer said with worry. But Peace had an idea in mind.

"You have a good point, Star. So, here's what I think should happen..."

Two hours later, every pony, creature, human, and Saiyan were at Equestria Universal High School. Each class, Peace was doing great in both music and poetry classes. He even he started his new job with Rainbow Dash at a Hoof Locker sports store. In music class, all he, Hype, and Golden Heart were rehearsing for their next songs. Although, the Dazzlings were keeping their eyes on Peace. The only threats are Goldie, Glori, Garble, Blueblood, and the Elements of Harmony. Octavia and Vinyl were looking at the Dazzlings, as the cellist spoke.

"Vinyl, I don't know what those Dazzlings are up to, but it's not good when they're looking at Peace like hunting lions.", she said in a hushed voice, so the Dazzling can't hear.

"I know what you mean, Tavi. I don't know what's going on in their heads right now, but we better keep an eye on Peace and his crew. We have to help Rarity and the others, too.", Vinyl said, as she and Octavia narrowed their eyes at the trio with their backs turned, as music class was about to end. It was lunchtime and every pony and creature were ready for what they were waiting on, the freestyle battle between Peace Poet and Garble. Peace just got done eating his lunch, as did Twilight and her friends. But three of Twilight's friends were missing, which are Rainbow, AJ, and Starlight. Sunset, Rarity, Pinkie, and Fluttershy were with Twilight in the cafeteria. Peace and Garble were about a few feet from each other, as music teacher Neon Lights was the host of the rap battle, as he spoke and quiet everyone down.

"Alright, this is what y'all been waiting for. Peace Poet versus Garble, only one round and no limit to how many bars in your rhyme verses. If one of you wins, you'll go to Haytona Beach on winter break. And if you lose, you'll be a janitor at Canterlot Castle for the rest of the school year.", Garble's eyes widened at that, and he did not want to be cleaning toilets, especially pony toilets. Peace on the other hand just nodded, while having no reaction on his face.

"OK, so who's first to start the battle?", Neon asked, as he saw Peace pointed at the red dragon. Garble smiled evilly and started his freestyle.

"You know, I'm a strong dragon
But there's one thing my face that's truly laggin'
You, you thug wanna-be lookin' boy
You're lookin' smug, but when I beat you, one of these ponies will be my toys
Sure, you beat the Diamond dogs, the true weaklings
That'll be you, shaking and probably tinkling
The real poet is here, and you better start prayin'
Unlike the pony dragon, I'm number one, you know what I'm "Saiyan"?"

Garble friends started to laugh hard at the last part of his freestyle, which is taking a shot at Peace. But Peace was still calm and cool, as he started his freestyle next.

"Eight bars, they seem to be pretty good
You may be from the Dragon Lands, but you're far from hood
What you didn't know is that in this battle, there's no time limit
Which means I'm gonna put all my heart in it in more than a minute
No need for bars of eight, twelve, or sixteen
I hate to do this, but when I'm in the battle, hard mode is on green
Let's be real, as I brush some dirt off my shoulder
The real thing is the strongest dragons are Ember, Torch, Spike, and your sister Smolder
I just killed your soul with a few words
I'm not done, cuz I'm just gettin' started like Phoenix birds
That'll blind you on the damn spot
Phoenixes are eternal, but your egg sized brain is not
I have an ego and I know you do, too
And I'm not gonna hate myself to break it in two
You're gettin' pissed, I see, and you wanna give me a nudge
Now you know how Spike felt from a disgraceful dragon named Sludge
OK, real talk, you're Blueblood's snitch
You're tryin' ta plan ta get rid of me by bein' his horn lickin' bitch
I know, in Rarity's own words, that sounds uncouth
But my anger and rage is about to break through the fuckin' roof
I look like a thug, but I'm a poet first
But the first thing you did was that you fucked with the worst
Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna
This fake ass dragon is nothin' but molded dead tuna
When he finished his freestyle, it's not only his bad breath
I know we're in high school, but Garble's freestyle is worse than death
While my rage is risin', I gotta say how dare you
Still pickin' on Spike after what he did for Dragon Lord Ember, too
Ya see your little sisters face? Everypony back up, just in case
The real ass kickin' is comin' in place
Spike, if you're listenin', you're strong and a better dragon than this one
Garble's sweatin and he's about ta feel true heat from the moon and sun
Cuz I know you and Blueblood have snipers
But behind them are my new friends that are quick like vipers
I know you and the so-called prince are rulin' the school
But you two are fools, and what y'all doin' ain't cool
I'm done here, and this is the end of your freestylin' career
Everyone, get ready for class and steer clear."

A roar of cheers and applause from every student and even the teachers, as Peace ended his freestyle. Starlight, AJ, and Dash appeared in the cafeteria with three men. One is a unicorn pony, the second is a dragon, the third is a Pegasus pony. Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna were at the since. And if that wasn't surprising enough, the boys that were caught by three of the Element Bearers were students of Equestria Universal High School. The first one that spoke in the cafeteria was Luna, and she was pissed.

"What you three did was attempted murder and of school grounds! Where were they placed, Starlight Glimmer?", Luna asked.

"The unicorn was on top of Canterlot Boutique with a crossbow.", Starlight said, as she held the unicorn with handcuffs and magic ring on his horn, so he won't use magic.

"And this dragon here was on top of the parkin' garage, tryin' ta steal Peace's car.", Applejack said, as she had chains on the dragons' hands, legs, ankles, and wings, so he won't get away. She even put a brace around his mouth, in case he blows fire.

"And this one was on top of Cerberus Ring ready to ambush Peace with speed.", Rainbow said, as she tied the wrist, ankles, and wings on the Pegasus. Celestia walked towards them with a stern look on her face and trying to hold her temper down.

"Did Blueblood order you to ambush Peace while he had his battle with Garble?", the principal asked with a bit of venom in her voice, as the unicorn spoke.

"We know that the Saiyan faced the Diamond Dogs and beat them days ago but were stronger and faster than they are. Peace isn't in our league, Prince Blueblood's, or Garble's! We'd tear him apart right now!", the unicorn yelled, as Peace just looked at his so-called ambushers, and calmly said...

"If y'all feel that way, then one of y'all can make the first move.", Peace said, as Garble, with a smug smile, stepped up.

"I'm gonna enjoy gettin' ya with one claw!", the red dragon roared, as he charged at Peace with a right-handed chop. Peace stopped the attack with his left hand, but Garble wasn't done. He used his left hand to chop, but Peace attacked his chest and Garble's top of his shirt was ripped through. Everyone in the cafeteria gasped as they saw not only Garble's shirt ripped but saw blood coming from his chest. Garble was in pain and got down on one knee. Everyone was in shock of Peace's attack, but not as shocked as Garble's sister Smolder.

"That move was Dragon Claw! He went through Gar-Gar's scales like it was nothing! Garble's stronger than the Diamond Dogs, but Peace Poet's on another level.", she thought, as Smolder checked on her brother to see if he's OK. Garble got up slowly and looked at the young Saiyan, not in anger, but with realization.

"I knew it; I knew you were holdin' back your power when you got me with the Dragon Claw. I never thought someone from another world would learn the technique that the dragons learned for many centuries. I'm gettin' outta this deal. If Blueblood wants to kill you, he can do it himself! He always had a thing against dragons, anyways.", the red dragon said bitterly, while looking at Peace's left hand with his blood on it. With a deep sigh, Garble spoke calmly.

"Look man, I'm sorry for givin ya a hard time when you came to this world. I just wanna be strong to protect my sister and my friends. I'm really sorry for givin' ya a hard time. That unicorn pony is strong here, and I say that you'd be second in strength with him.", Garble said to Peace, as the young Saiyan's face went from defensive to calm, as he spoke.

"Look, I know how ya feel, bruh. Many like Blueblood are just like him; wanna take over the school, the block, or somethin' bigger. Whatever he has somethin' planned for me, I'll be ready. Sorry for the Dragon Claw, and I hope ya get that checked out.", Peace said sincerely, as Garble walked towards him and held out his hand, as they shook. The fat brown dragon Clump and a skinny purple dragon Fume also walked up to Peace.

"Um, you're not gonna get us for pickin' on Spike, are ya?", Fume asked nervously, as Peace smirked.

"I'm the least of your worries. You three will have to see Spike's sister for that.", as the three dragons looked at Twilight, which is Spike's older sister, she squinted her eyes at them, as did the rest of the Elements. Even, Smolder was giving Garble a glare that was equal to Fluttershy's Stare (see what I did there).

" I thought you stopped picking on Spike, Garble!", she shouted angrily, and Garble took a few steps back from his livid little sister.

Ummm, whoops..." was all Garble could say, as he was frozen in fear. Whenever Smolder calls him by his full name instead of Gar-Gar, she's seriously mad. Smolder got into her brother's face.

"This is strike two, bro. I don't think we should talk to each other for a while.", then the orange dragon turned around and spoke to Peace calmly, as she bowed in respect.

"I know that my brother be a meathead, but please forgive him for his acts. I apologize for his behavior.", Smolder said, as Peace put his hands on her shoulders. Smolder looked up and saw Peace smiling.

"He already apologized, Smolder. But the one he need ta apologize to is Spike.", Peace looked at the little orb and said...

"I know you're watchin', Spike. I did this freestyle for you, bro. And believe me, Garble will apologize in person.", Peace said.

"And I'll make sure that I'll be with him, as soon as we go to Ponyville.", Smolder said, as she and Peace looked at the bright blue orb that's a size of a half-dollar. At the Crystal Empire at Brave and Glorious Middle School, since it was named after Spike. Spike and many others looked at the magical screen, as they saw the rap battle between Peace and Garble. Spike was smiling with tears in his eyes, as a pink Alicorn withpurple eyes, long hair that's purple, magenta, and golden blonde wearing a purple business jacket and skirt with yellow shirt under the jacket. She put a hand on Spike's shoulder and smiled at him, and said...

"So, that's Peace Poet, huh? He has great rhyming skills, too. I'm very impressed!", she said, as Spike looked at her.

"He sure is, Principal Cadence. Um, what does Shining think of Peace?", Spike asked, with a look of concern. But Cadence kept smiling and said...

"Shining like Peace, Spike. He wants to meet him. Ever since he saw Peace's fight with the Diamond Dogs, he was impressed of his martial art skills, as was I. We wanted to get to know Peace and his friends from Earth. You can tell Peace and his friends to just be the way they are when they come to the Empire. And they can just dress whatever makes them comfortable when they stay here for the weekend.", Cadence said, as Spike sighed in relief.

"OK, I'll them that. I'm just glad you both like Peace and his friends.", as Spike said that another hand was on his shoulder. It was from a white Unicorn stallion with blue eyes, shoulder length hair that's two-tone blue, wearing a blue business suit. He was smiling at Spike, as well.

"Spike, Peace beat the Dogs and beat Garble in a rap battle. I'm sure you'll forgive Garble in the future, but it'll be when you're ready. We just want Peace, his friends, Twily and the girls to relax this weekend and be comfortable.", Shining Armor said, as Spike gave him a fist bump knowing that the weekend at the Crystal Empire will hopefully be a great one. In the back of the classroom, six mare ponies are watching Spike talk to Cadence and Shining. Fleur de Lis is one of the ponies.

"Well, looks like Peace is coming for a visit for the weekend.", she said with a smirk, which means she and her friends have plans for the Saiyan.

Back to the cafeteria of Equestria Universal High School, the doctors took Garble to heal his cuts. Smolder was about to follow them but stopped to look back at Peace and bowed in respect.

"Thank you for sparring my brother, Peace.", she said and raised her head with a smile before running off to follow the doctor, nurse, and a wounded Garble. Then, Principal Celestia gave Peace a paper that had a grade, and it was an A plus with two thousand bits.

"Wow! I didn't know that this battle was graded, and I get paid for it.", a shocked Peace said, as Luna spoke.

"Just like the matches at Cerberus Ring, challenges can happen anywhere, too. Just like this rap battle here.", the vice principal said.

"it's not just fighting that you're graded for, either. Rap battles like this, art contest, anything you can be graded for, and can be rewarded. Even the jobs you're working at. I was certainly impressed by the battle. I haven't seen a battle like this since Zecora battled Spoiled Rich and won!", Celestia said with an excited smile, as Luna smiled, too. Pinkie was jumping up and down, as she shows Peace and the rest her phone.

"Lookie, lookie! On PonyTube, somepony uploaded the rap battle, and it's getting 100,000 views!", and she was right, as they looked at the video of the rap battle. The views were increasing, as it was getting over six thousand likes. And this gave Golden Heart an idea.

"Peace, hear me out. What if we had a PonyTube channel for HOOF-STARR? And each of us would have separate channels to do our things?", she asked with hopeful eyes, as Hyper Active chimed in.

"She's right, bro. We can make music videos, lyric videos, and more on the channels on PonyTube.", he said, as glorious Miracle also spoke.

"Si, and I agree. If that's OK, I want to make like old school heavy metal music on my channel, amigo. I've been wanting to add heavy metal in your group, but I was afraid that you might disagree with the idea." she said sheepishly, as Rainbow Dash added...

If you want, I can help out with each of you. It'd be awesome to shred on my guitar with all of you!", Dash, said, as the rest of the Elements nodded in agreement to help out. Peace thought about it for a minute, as he smiled and said...

"I'm with it. I had ta hide what I am from Earth, but not here. Glori, the idea of put metal music in the band is a plus. Of course, we can play the music you like, cuz I'm a fan of some metal band myself. Goldie, Hype, I've been with this idea ever since I made my first rhyme, so I agree. I also agree with Dash's idea, since the girls are a band themselves. OK, let's put HOOF-STARR on the map!", they cheered in excitement on Peace's decision, as Celestia and Luna had each hand on Peace's shoulder.

"I think you've made the right decision, Peace. We will also help out on your group's success. If you're OK with that.", Celestia said, as Luna nodded and Neon Light nodded, as well.

"Thank y'all so much. I don't know how to repay ya.", Peace said sincerely, as Neon Lights said...

"Just make us proud, be you, be true, and keep climbin' man. As a matter of fact, I'll pay to make studio booths each of your dorm rooms, along with the rest of my students.", The Elements, Peace his childhood friends, and the rest of his music classmates were very excited about having studio booths in their dorm rooms, even in Twilight's Castle of Friendship. But then, Adagio Dazzle of the Dazzlings walked towards Peace with Sonata Dusk and Aria Blaze and gave him three cards.

"If you and your crew want to collaborate with us, give each of us a call, sweet stuff.", she gives Peace the cards and a wink, as she gave him and Hype a wink with half-lidded. Aria gave Peace a smirk, and Sonata blew a kiss at him. As the Dazzlings walked away, Peace and Hype were sweating bullets, as they didn't back at Goldie and Glori, because both girls had angry veins on the side of their foreheads. But what made the boy more nervous was in front of them, as the Elements had the same exact looks, except Rarity's horn was glowing green and Pinkie's mane and tail went completely straight. Celestia and Luna were trying hard not to laugh at the boys, but they did find it funny to see the girls being jealous. But to make matters worse, a white haired, azure blue Unicorn mare also stepped up.

"If you wanna be a male assistant, give me a call.", said the great and powerful, plus flirtable Trixie, Lulamoon, as she sashayed away from Peace, as Startlight's horn was glowing red with a red cloud coming out of it. Peace saw this, as he looked at his left wrist, which he's not wearing a watch, and said...

"Oh, boy! Look at the time, gotta go change for the gym cla--", he couldn't finish the sentence, because Rainbow Dash and Twilight flew/teleported in front of him with narrowed eyes.

"I think we all need to talk, Peace Poet.", the Princess of Friendship said sternly, as she crossed her arms under her chest. Peace gulped and had a nervous smile, and said...

"Twilight, you're absolutely right. I agree that we should have a nice talk...", he said, as he vanished in front of their eyes. As Twilight's phone buzzed, Peace text her saying, "We'll talk after I'm done with work. Sorry." They all had a defeated sigh, except Starlight, who Peace has to work with at Ponyville Jewelry.

"Girls, calm down. It's not Peace's fault, and whatever the Dazzlings are up to, we'll find out. Right, Princess Twilight?", Starlight said sternly at Twilight and the rest of the girls.

"You're right, Starlight. I need to apologize to Peace for acting, well, you know.", and then, Peace appeared in front of Twilight, as the rest gasp in surprise.

"Apology accepted, Twilight. And look, I don't know Adagio and her sisters all that well, but if they wanna collab with me and the crew, they can, business wise. Now, let's go to our next classes, a'ight? We don't wanna be late.", he said, as Twilight smiled at Peace, as did the rest of them. They all left the cafeteria together to their next classes. Celestia had a smirk on her face and Luna noticed.

"Tia, what's that smirk for? Do you know something I don't?", Luna asked, as Guidance Counselor Discord appeared in front of them.

"Oh, come now, Lulu. Don't you see, the girls have a crush on the rhyming Saiyan. And, of course, you do, too.", Discord chuckled, as Luna blushed and Celestia also chuckled.

"Sister, you're one thousand and twenty-one years, clearly twenty-one years old, and I know it's hard to hide your jealousy in front of the girls. But we're in an open marriage with Discord, and he doesn't mind you going on a date with Peace if you want to. The laws here in Equestria are far different from Earth.", Celestia said, as Discord nodded in agreement, as Luna blushed and said...

"But a student and a vice principal/princess on a date? What would ponies think or say about that?! And what about you, Ms. One-Thousand-Twenty-Five-year-old? I wasn't the only one blushing a storm when we saw Peace and brought him here!", Luna half-shouted, as Discord was laughing a storm in a now empty cafeteria. And now, Celestia was blushing a storm, as Luna was smirking. As the principal was about to retort, her phone rang, as she answered it, and it was Blueblood.

"I take it that you've seen the rap battle, Blue?", she said sarcastically, as Blueblood on the other side was fuming with rage.

"That damned lizard was no use to me, anyway! I have a--", he was interrupted by Discord's voice, and it sounded cold.

"It seems I was right; Shining Armor is the only prince of Equestria, and is better mannered. Now, cease thinking about killing Peace Poet and getting Rarity back, cool off, and be a stallion, you little colt! I don't blame Beauregard for leaving you and your gold-digging mother. And, if you lay a hand on Fluttershy, Peace Poet, or any of the Elements and his friends, I will bring one hundred percent of chaos to you! Do you understand me, young stallion?!", Discord asked with a fury that Celestia and Luna hasn't seen in a thousand years. Blueblood was also shocked at the Draconequus' tone, but did calm down, and said...

"I can tell you're not bluffing, Guidance Counselor. Alright, I'll leave the Saiyan be for a while. But he'll get it one day: not today, nor tomorrow, nor next month, but one day. You, my aunts, his father, the Elements, or his friends will not protect him forever!", Blueblood hung up on them, and then dialed a number as someone answered.

"Yes, tell the master that I'm ready for my training with him. Oh, my partner? Our partnership has dissolved ages ago, so no need to worry about the scamp. I'll be heading there after school is done.", Blueblood hung up and had an evil smile on his face, as he started walking down the hall going to his next class.

On Earth, in Manhattan, New York, in a restaurant, that same girl with long blue hair was eating by herself, as a man in a black suit came to her table and said...

"We are ready for you, Your Majesty.", the man said.

"Good, tell my father and sister that I'll be home in five minutes. I have a lot to tell them, and I hope they won't get too mad at me for what I've done.", the man bowed and walked away, as the girls was finishing her food, and thought...

"Peace, I hope you'll forgive me when I see you."
