The Times They Are a Changeling! A New Ally in the Crystal Heart of Equestria!

Three weeks ago, the peaceful land of Equestria was thrust into turmoil by an unprecedented event. Far from the serene fields of Ponyville, a titanic clash between two formidable warriors shook the very foundations of the realm. On one side stood Cell, a bio-android of terrifying power and malice. Opposing him was Cyre, a perfect warrior brought forth by extraordinary circumstances. Their battle was a storm of raw energy and devastating blows, with each fighter pushing the other to their limits. The skies darkened, and the ground trembled as their duel raged on, an event that would be etched into the annals of Equestrian history. On top of that, Broly had fought many other warriors who were destroying multiple towns and cities throughout Equestria. Luckily, injuries and deaths were kept at very low levels, but it made the citizens of Equestria quickly understand that they were very vulnerable and that threats could be anywhere and everywhere. Even worse, they seemed to be no match for them in most cases. Word also quickly spread of the heroics of both Broly and Cyre, but it also made ponies feel a little irked, knowing that two aliens lived among them. But they did save them after all, so maybe they were just paranoid. Equestrian cities like Baltimare and Manehattan were on the road of recovery to repair all the damage from the attacks.

Princess Twilight Sparkle and her friends were on a train bound for the Crystal Empire. The gentle chugging of the locomotive and the rhythmic clatter of the wheels provided a stark contrast to the barely concealed turmoil that had gripped the far reaches of Equestria the past few weeks. luckily things seemed to have calmed down somewhat through the weeks. Spike, Twilight’s loyal dragon assistant, buzzed with excitement as he leaned out of the window, his breath fogging up the glass in the cool morning air.

“Isn’t this exciting, Twilight?” Spike exclaimed, turning to his alicorn friend. “We’re going to the Crystal Empire! I can’t wait to see Sunburst again and catch up on all the magic studies!”

Twilight smiled warmly at Spike’s enthusiasm. “I’m looking forward to seeing Cadance, Shining Armor, and Flurry Heart,” she replied. “It feels like ages since our last visit.”

The rest of their friends – Cyre, Broly Applejack, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, and Fluttershy – shared in anticipation, each chatting about the various things they hoped to do once they arrived. However, an undercurrent of concern threaded through their conversations, a result of the disturbing reports filtering through Equestria about the clash of the bio-androids.

As the train approached the Crystal Empire, the familiar shimmer of the magical barrier came into view, a welcoming sight that promised safety and comfort. The train pulled into the station with a gentle lurch, and the friends disembarked, their eyes taking in the gleaming spires of the Crystal Castle. The usual bustle of the Empire seemed subdued, and the air was thick with tension.

“Uh, disguise or not, Spike, I don't think you need to worry about being mobbed. Nopony's here. ” starlight was right. After they purged the alcohol from her system, she was back to normal, and as stated, at the train station, nopony was there.

The wind was even whistling with a tumbleweed drifting in it. They all entered town and it was the Same as the train station.

“It's like a ghost town. ” spike noted.

"Everypony is still here, I can sense them. But why are they hiding?" Cyre questioned.

Twilight Sparkle had the same attitude towards this as cyre did. “I've got a bad feeling about this.”

“Yeah, this is weird.” Starlight voices in agreement.

“I guess I don't need the disguise after all.” The moment he took it off, he was so instantly mobbed by cheering Crystal ponies.

“It's Spike the Brave and Glorious!” One said.

“He's come to save us yet again!” Another said.

“Spike! Spike! Spike! Spike!” They all cheered. Some of them also mobbed and cheered on cyre, as the encounter with King Sombra and Cyre was still fresh in their minds.

“Save you from what?” They both responded.

“Yeah, what's going on?” Starlight asked.

“Why was everypony hiding?” Twilight added. The crystal ponies looked at twilight and starlight questionably.

“Oh, it sure looks like Princess Twilight and her pupil.” One stated.

“But how can we be sure?” Another said.

“We can't! Either one of them could be the... you know!” After that, they zipped away.

“What if this... isn't... the real Spike?!” One said while gasping.

“Everypony, run!” They all zipped away and unfortunately for Spike, he was up in the air from being hoisted and fell back down with a thud.

Spike owned count: 4

“Okay. Something strange is going on.” Twilight said.

Spike groaned as he got back up. “Ya think?”

A Royal guard then walked up to all of them. “Who goes there?”

“Um, you don't recognize the Princess of Friendship?” Starlight asked.

“Not to mention the guy who saved your flank about a month ago?” Cyre added.

“Of course we recognize you.” The guard said.

“But that doesn't mean it's you.” Another guard stated.

Cyre promptly jumped to SSJ2. It was practically the same as his normal hair, except of course it was golden colored, his hair was a lot more spiked, and the hair strands were larger. Spikes of electricity flashed and flickered all over his body as his friends stared intently. They had all seen him go Super Saiyan 2 before when they watched the battle against Cell, but seeing it in person was quite the display.

“that proves I’m me.” Cyre said, his voice noticeably deeper than normal. Broly looks at Cyre before nodding to himself and going into Ikari form, proving his own identity.

“It's okay, guys. They're with me. And any friend of Spike the Brave and Glorious is a friend of the Crystal Empire, am I right?” Spike said.

“I'm sorry, but we'll need to see some proof of identification.” The guard said to spike.

“We'll take care of things from here.” Princess cadance was walking over with shining Armor, sunburst, and flurry heart.

“Oh, Cadance, thank goodness! What's going on?” Twilight asked.

“We can explain, Twily... if it really is you.” Shining stated.

“Her energy isn’t different, and if it was, she wouldn’t be standing here. I would’ve brought her here knocked out.” Cyre responded.

“How do we know it’s you?” After he blinked and said that, he felt drafts blowing. When he looked, every piece of armor he had on was gone... and in the hands of Cyre.

Shining Armor just sighed. “That was a very stupid question to ask.”

“Cyre agrees.” He then dropped the armor in front of Shining. He hadn’t powered down yet, so that made Shining Armor look even more stupid! Then Twilight did her little dance with cadance to verify that it was her.

“It's okay, everypony. It's her.” Shining Armor stated.

“Of course it's her! What's all this about?” Starlight asked.

“A changeling's been spotted nearby.“ sunburst claimed.

Twilight Sparkle looked in worry. “A changeling?!”

“That's not good,” Spike stated.

“No, it's not. After Queen Chrysalis took my place at our wedding and invaded Canterlot with her army of minions, we're not taking any chances.” Cadance said.

“Wow, these changelings sound like a lot of trouble,” Cyre stated as Broly nodded as well.

“Yeah cyre. Like I said, they fucked me, they fucked my wedding, and they fucked my husband.” Cadance said to cyre.

“No... that last one didn’t happen...” Shining Armor said in protest.

“oh, so you just happened to develop a bunch of weird fetishes after the wedding? Yeah, seems real legit.” Cadance said with sass.

“Changelings feed off of love. And ever since Flurry Heart's Crystalling, the Empire has been filled with more love than anywhere in Equestria. They may have come for the baby.” Sunburst said.

“That's why we posted the extra guards, and why we're—” “Checking everypony's identity.” Twilight finished.

“I'm sorry for all of this. Flurry Heart's been looking forward to seeing you.” Princess cadance said as the baby was brought over to them.

Cyre looked at Flurry deeply in the eyes, and he could swear he saw the crystal empire in flames, and Flurry heart standing above all of it, with an evil, devilish smile, and flames as pupils in her eyes.

Cyre decided it was best not to look into it more, and just backed away.

Twilight Sparkle, however, hadn’t seen whatever he saw “Oh, she's gotten so big! Starlight and I will do whatever we can to help protect her.”

“To be honest, having you, cyre, and Broly here is already a big relief,” Cadance stated.

“If that changeling is a threat to the empire, maybe me and Broly can help you find it,” Cyre said.

“How? You don’t know where it is!” Sunburst stated.

Cyre went to super saiyan. “My energy is being dispersed in all directions. Anything my energy hits, I’ll know where it is within seconds. It’s kind of like a sonar, of sorts. I’ll be able to track it down much faster than you guys could.”

Broly listened intently and figured the same went for him, so he took the scouter that cyre gave him and crushed it, much to Cyre’s disapproval.

“BROLY, I NEEDED THAT!!!” cyre shouted angrily, much to the others' amusement.

Broly, twilight, and the others stayed in the empire and searched while Cyre flew around the perimeter and flew around searching. So far, he hadn’t found anything.

He was about to head back when he picked up something ahead. He landed and surveyed the area before his eyes got set on... a crystal pony guard? Alone out here? Cyre found this not only weird but also suspicious.

He walked to the guard, who looked rather nervous. “If you don’t mind me asking, are you lost? You seem to be alone out here.”

“Uh... yes! I was, uh, heading back to the empire!” The guard laughed nervously and walked away... going in the wrong direction.

“Uh, hey! You’re going in the wrong direction! It’s that way! Also, you seem kind of nervous. Why is that? You’ll be safe with me!” Cyre sighed.

The guard just turned around and sighed. “I can’t take it anymore. If this gets you to stop asking questions, I’ll be thankful.” In a flash of turquoise, the pony revealed itself to be a changeling. Surprisingly, the changeling didn’t feel itself being attacked. The prime reason cyre didn’t attack was because he was intrigued. This changeling didn’t feel evil at all! Are cyre could sense was pureness, nervousness, and a good bit of fear. Cyre stared at him in curiosity.

“It's okay. I know you don't wanna be friends.” Thorax sadly said. Cyre let his guard down and walked to the changeling.

“You’re a strange creature, but surprisingly, despite your appearance, you're an extremely good creature. That’s kind of odd though. All my friends said changelings are downright evil!” Cyre explained.

“Evil? Oh, not me. All I've ever wanted is a friend. From the moment I first split my egg in the nursery hive...”

In the changeling hive, Thorax was born with the others.

....they all hated each other.

“I was part of the attack on Canterlot during the royal wedding, but I'd never seen true friendship like that! And I couldn't just steal it and feed on its love. I wanted to share it!” Cyre couldn’t help but frown at the story he was being told.

“After that, I knew I couldn't live with my kind anymore. I set off looking for love to share, but...”

“But... what?” Cyre asked.

“I'm starving! And there's so much love in the Crystal Empire right now. It's what drew me here! But it's drivin' me crazy!” The changeling said while shuddering.

“That probably would be from the royal Crystalling. It's pretty much a giant outpouring of light and love for a new baby. And an extremely powerful one at that...” Cyre stated.

The changeling proceeded to hiss at cyre before he placed his hooves over his mouth. “Oh, sorry! I'm just so hungry! If I had a friend, maybe the love we shared could sustain me, but I don't think the Crystal Ponies want to be friends.”

“Well, I’ll be your friend. My name is Cyre!” He then gave the changeling a big hug, which caused it to blush. After he broke the hug the changeling introduced himself.

“I'm Thorax. I can't believe you want to help me.” Thorax said in disbelief.

“Why? Hasn't anypony ever just been nice to you? Not even your own kind?” Cyre asked.

Thorax only hissed more. “Uh! S-Sorry! Kindness like that kind of brings it out. Do you still wanna be my friend?”

“Of course! I think I should even put my money where my mouth is. How about taking some of my love?" This statement left Thorax in utter shock that somebody would willingly give him love, given that he was a changeling.

He slowly walked up to Cyre and sat on his haunches, his wings slowly fluttering nervously behind him. "You... you really mean that? We just met, and you're *that* willing to give love to feed on? It just seems too good to be true honestly..."

Cyre stood there with his hands on his waist and nodded firmly with a determined look on his face. "Yeah, I'm certain I'm sure I'm making the right choice here. If it means you don't go crazy around others, it's a plus! And it's even easier to convince them that you're not a bad guy if I gave you the love willingly and you didn't overdo it. Besides, even if you did drain me, I'd live... then kick your sorry butt into next week. After all, I'm stronger than basically anyone here on this planet. I'm sure you've heard at least a little about the battle going on in Equestria, right?" Cyre nodded as Thorax nodded back at him that he did.

Thorax was feeling so conflicted right now. here someone was willing to put their trust and faith in him. it was probably the first time anyone had done that for him. Thorax took a deep breath before opening his mouth and starting the process of feeding on Cyre's love. Cyre felt strange doing this, but he really didn't feel all too different. he had plenty of love to give, and he gave it gladly. After a full minute, Thorax had his fill and stopped while Cyre felt a little dizzy, but he quickly recovered.

Thorax looked up at Cyre with gratitude before he jumped up into his chest for a great big hug, his wing fluttering rapidly in joy. "You have no idea how much that hunger was getting to me! I haven't felt this good in ages! Thank you so much!"

Cyre was initially shocked, but he slowly returned the hug in acknowledgment. "It was nothing Thorax. I mean that. You're not a bad guy, I can tell. You're just dealing with the cards you're dealt. You won't face judgment about that from me. You're willing to change, to be better. And that's what counts. But we need to convince the others about this as well. Come with me, we're going back to the Crystal Empire to make our case."

Thorax let go of Cyre before floating back down to the ground looking very apprehensive. “Wait, shouldn’t you talk to them first about me, then go? What if they attack me? Princess cadance is an alicorn!” Thorax said.

“Don’t worry about it, I’m way beyond them in terms of power. And if we need to leave I have a thing for that too. Now let’s go!” Cyre had Thorax touch his leg before they both instant transmitted away to the Crystal Empire.

Broly, twilight, and the others gathered in the throne room since their search yielded nothing. they then noticed Cyre show up... with the changeling they were searching for behind him. All the guards in the room were quickly on high alert. All the guards surrounded Cyre, even Broly balled up his fists in apprehension, waiting and watching to see if this escalates to a fight, with his anger slowly boiling, but contained.

Shining Armor was the first to step forward, his eyes narrowing at the sight of Thorax. "You found the changeling Cyre! did you bring him here as your prisoner?"

Cyre stepped forward, his presence commanding attention as he shook his head. "No, and that's because he's a real decent guy. Other than instincts, he wouldn't try to hurt anybody." Shining This changeling, Thorax is different. He seeks friendship and means no harm to anyone, and I vouch for his sincerity."

The whole room looked shocked at his statements and was even more shocked when Cyre rubbed Thorax on the head, which Thorax received in kind. Shining Armor only scoffed at that. "And why should we trust him? Changelings have caused nothing but trouble to Equestria, to me most of all, nearly ruining my wedding and destroying my home. Seize the changeling!" All the guards charged Cyre... only to be pushed back by an unknown force. The others were just as confused as they were.

"try as much as you like, I'll just keep pushing you back to where you started. and why is it so hard to just give this guy a chance, huh?" Cyre asked.

"The changeling queen Queen Chrysalis kidnapped Cadence and cast a spell on me. there is no such thing as a "nice changeling" What makes you so sure of his innocence? You just met him." Shining Armor shouted in pure disdain for Thorax and all of changeling-kind.

"Because I let him feed on my love, and he didn't try to drain me entirely. I trusted him and he honored my trust by taking just enough. Wouldn't a remorseless changeling just attack me or attempt to trick me and steal all my love? It wouldn't make any sense to sit and talk for extended periods. On top of that, I can sense his energy. he is very pure, and I can't sense any malice coming from it. From what I've gotten to see of him just from talking, he's a nice guy to be around, if not a little nervous and clumsy. I know Thorax. He's my friend. And friendship is what makes Equestria stronger." Cyre said to everyone in the room. Shining Armor found himself on the back hoof. Cyre's argument was very solid and poking holes in it would be difficult.

Cyre saw this and continued to talk. "I even can vouch for myself. The mane 6 knows my full backstory. How I was made, and where I came from, all the components that make up my DNA as well. Most of my makeup comes from the Saiyans, like Broly. The Saiyans were terrible people who destroyed planets for profit and were pretty savage, before they were essentially all killed, along with their home planet destroyed. Hell, the planet they were on? They killed the previously dominant species on the planet, destroying civilization and building over it. Their original home of Sadala was destroyed in a civil war and they had to move to the conquered planet. But the Saiyans that are left... the prince of the Saiyans, Prince Vegeta had changed entirely from a planet destroyer to a father of two children and a savior of the universe. Change is possible... you just have to... accept it." The room fell silent at his words as Cyre smiled brightly before they heard Broly start to talk.

"Cyre... is right. Thorax... pure. Cyre trusts him, so I trust him." Broly said. he hardly ever spoke at all, so that surprised everyone, even Broly himself by the fact that he was speaking.

"So, what's your defense? What are you going to say that debunks all of this? Please let me hear it! It makes me wonder if you feel the same about me and Broly in secret." Cyre asked.

Then Twilight walked up to Cyre. "You're right. Based on Cyre's testimony, I think it is safe that We can give Thorax a chance to prove himself. we can't let fear or bias dictate our actions, that's not what what we do here in Equestria. We just assumed this changeling was evil... Based on the fact that changelings attacked us in the past Thorax may have not revealed himself on his own, but the fact he did at all was proof enough that he's willing to change." She added.

Starlight understood and She walked beside Twilight. "Cyre and Broly could see that he was different. That he was the odd one out of all the changelings at great risk to himself. he fed the changeling love willingly, not many would dare go to those lengths to try and convince a changeling." She said.

Everyone else started to understand as Princess Cadance and Shining Armor exchanged glances. The room was tense, filled with uncertainty. Finally, Cadance spoke."Cyre, Broly, you are both warriors from other worlds, yet not only have you stood with us, but you fought on our behalf and saved Equestria. Your judgment holds weight. If you believe in Thorax, we are willing to give him a chance."

Cyre bowed his head in gratitude. "Thank you Princess Cadance. Thorax will not disappoint you. I can feel it in my heart."

Thorax, overwhelmed with emotion, stepped forward. "I promise, I will prove that not all changelings are bad. Thank you for giving me a chance."

Shining Armor's expression softened slightly. "Very well. But I will be watching you very closely during your time here, Thorax."

The tension in the room eased as the decision was made. Twilight and her friends embraced Thorax, welcoming him into their circle of friendship. Cyre felt a deep sense of satisfaction and belonging, knowing he had played a part in bridging the gap between fear and understanding.

"I'm proud of you, Cyre. You risked your popularity and friendship with us to do this." Twilight said, hugging Cyre.

Cyre smiled. "Does that mean Thorax is your friend too? please tell me that's the case then..."

"Yes, it does! If Thorax is any one of your friends, then he's mine too!" Twilight said, gesturing for a hoof bump.

Thorax shook her hoof instead. "Thank you!" He said with tears.

"On behalf of the Crystal Empire,-" Cadance said. "I would like to extend my hoof in friendship, and I'm sure all of my subjects are eager to do the same." She said.

Everyone cheered.... well, Shining Armor didn't. He simply looked with apprehension as Cadance trusted Thorax enough to put Flurry in front of him. Thorax hesitated before smiling, and Flurry liked him too. Cyre smiled brightly at the sight.

"Welcome to the Crystal Empire, Thorax. I'm sorry we didn't take the time to get to know you, even when Cyre presented you to us. Maybe we can change that now?" Cadance asked.

"That's so amazing! I want to learn all about friendship, and maybe one day I can take that knowledge back to the changeling kingdom! If my kind learned how to create love for one another, maybe they wouldn't have to take it from others!" Thorax said. They all gathered in a huge hug as Thorax smiled.

As they left the throne room, united in their mission to spread friendship and harmony, Cyre realized that in this world of magic and kindness, they would the challenges ahead, their bonds of friendship growing stronger with each passing day.

Cyre and thorax went to the crystal heart and watched it spin for three whole hours.

"Surprisingly enchanting and interesting, huh?" Cyre said sounding a little drunk.

"Yeah..." thorax said in the same kind of voice.

The End of Sunny Town! Escape from the Everfree Forest!

Both Saiyans slowed as they rounded the curve in the path that led back to town. The glow from the lanterns was extinguished, leaving only more darkness ahead. How did they manage to put out all those lights so quickly? It didn’t bode well. Cyre slightly hesitated. Before him was a pitch black unknown, but behind him was a mausoleum and a dead end. He had nowhere else to go but back into town. Besides, they would destroy this town after they got what they needed.

The thick stench of blight overwhelmed the saiyan’s senses as they passed through the trees into Sunny Town. The name now seemed a horrible choice, every single building and structure looked collapsed and decaying. The soft grass had been replaced with hard dirt and sticky mud, what was left of the party decorations looked ancient and riddled with rot. Cyre stood perfectly still; everything around her was quiet. Hey was looking to find anypony, but could find none. This was odd, no village just dissapers like that, not even hunted ones!

He slowly trotted forward, weaving his way through the dilapidated town and avoiding the mud patches, broly right behind him. Cyre peered into one of the collapsed homes as he passed it; nothing but rubble. Then, a frightening voice growled out and shattered the silence.

“There was no other way… She would have infected the whole town… We couldn’t have that.”

Broly and Cyre looked all around from where were standing, and got into a defensive stance, but nopony was there. Where did that voice come from? They dropped their stances and continued forward.

Cyre rounded the bend deeper into town when another noise reached him. It sounded like roots tearing. He turned in the direction it was coming from, realizing it was over by where Three Leaf originally sat.

They both approached the noise, the sound getting louder and mixing with the scrape of tilling earth. He stopped dead as a grime-covered hoof erupted from the ground, pulling with it a macabre shamble of bones, sinew and rot. Cyre wanted to scream, but the sight kept him rooted in place, silent.

The figure took the shape of a pony, only it wasn’t. It shambled forward with a lurching motion, stopping a few feet from the Saiyans. The creature looked up toward Them both, staring at them with empty eye sockets. A red light began to rise in the monster’s vacant skull as it opened its mouth.

“The curse mark…it befell her this very night…” the zombie spoke with an unnatural echo in its voice. Cyre took a step closer, looking at its features. The thing still had a small amount of its mane left; it was a dark green color.

“Th-th-th…Three Leaf?” Cyre managed to squeak out. What remained of the zombie pony’s jaw wobbled, forming a hellish sneer. The empty glowing sockets drilled into Cyre.

“That’s right…”

“What happened here?!” Cyre yelped, unsure if it was wise to chat with a zombie. Three Leaf stood silent for what seemed like an eternity before answering.

“She had the mark! … She had to go!”

“You ponies killed an innocent mare, just because she earned her cutie mark! How could you!? She didn’t deserve it! You should be ashamed of yourselves!!!” Cyre yelled at the zombie pony, trying to seem brave. In truth, he was scared out of his wits. He always hated stuff like this. Another voice broke the silence from behind them.

“Please stay with us. We’ll never let the same happen to you…”

Broly twirled to face this new voice. Another zombie pony was standing directly behind them. This one was taller than the Three Leaf zombie and its skull was more square than rounded. Time did not age this one well, there was nearly no flesh left on it at all.

Broly squealed, stepping back. How did this one sneak up so quietly? Both saiyans then began to feel woozy, like something was draining all the energy right out of them.

Their whole world began to spin around them as more and more energy left their body. Through his blurred vision Cyre watched the other zombie pony lean in close. It spoke in a gnarled voice, its eye holes flickering like flames.

“Don’t worry, you’ll never become like her. We’ll protect you…Forever!”

The larger zombie pony lunged forward, trying to grab Cyre and bite his arm which would cause the curse to take hold over him completely. The sudden movement snapped Cyre from his stupor.

Lightning quick, he kicked the zombie pony’s head flying away. He then shot a ki blast at three leaf, which blew up her pile of bones into splinters. He then turned around and smacked broly in the face to get him out of his trance. Before broly could even retort, a sickening wail sounded throughout sunny town.

All around them, zombie pony arms, that varied in how much flesh they had on them, started popping up all around them. so of them he recognized, such as Roneo and starlet. Some of the other ones were unknown. They all seemed to be working to one goal, as they quickly surrounded broly and cyre.

Cyre looked at broly and smirked. “Broly, I’m going to go find the two fillies. You think you can handle this?” Broly smirked back as he powered to his wrathful form. just before he flew off, Cyre stopped him. Cyre than walked up to the zombie ponies.

“Excuse me, but since you want people to join you guys, i’ve got some people for you to meet!” Cyre than started to grunt in effort as his stomach than started to ripple. Without wearing, a chunk of goo flew off and onto the ground. Now cyre knew why chi chi always said she was glad she didn’t physically give birth to him. Five more chunks flew off and broly just sat there, watching. All six goo balls then started to form more humanoid, until finally, all six clones had finished forming, and they all looked like teen Gohan, wearing the same clothing as well.

Cyre’s sides continued to quiver, making him shudder.

“Yeah, that’s going to be happening for the rest of the week! Anyway, Say hello... to my children! Nouriel, Damien, Travis, Curtis, Gale, and Jonathan!” All six clones smirked wildly at the zombie ponies.

“Gather round children, daddy’s set up a play date for you all! Now make sure you share your toys, don’t leave care taker broly’s sight, and don’t leave a single bone left from those zombie ponies.” All the zombie ponies shrunk back.

“But most importantly, have fun!” All of the Cyre Jr. quickly shot off towards the zombie ponies.

“What are you?” One of the zombie ponies shouted.

“WE ARE SUPER SANDWICHES!!!!” Broly and Cyre shouted as they went super Saiyan God or Wrathful respectively.

Cyre than vanished to find Mitta, leaving Broly and the cyre jrs. with the zombie ponies.

Cyre faced little resistance as he walked around to find his zombified friend. He Reached the edge of town and stopped at the exit when the ground there started to break up. Cyre was ready to take on whatever it was. However, he didn’t expect its body to not be nearly as decayed as the others. In fact, it was still completely whole save for a few rot-marks and holes in its flesh. It even still had eyes. The zombie pony eventually got completely free and looked up at Cyre in surprise.

“Cyre?” Her voice was clear, lacking the eerie echo the other ones possessed. Cyre looked the zombie pony over, her dirt-covered mane had a deep maroon sheen in the moon light, and her decaying coat was patched with grey splotches. Her eyes still boiled with the same red of the others, yet Cyre thought he saw a tear fall from one. The zombie pony looked right at the little filly, sighing deeply and closing her eyes.

Without warning, she was hugged by Cyre tightly. She could hear Cyre sniffling in sadness, and actually shedding tears. Cyre didn’t even care if he got his gi dirty, he was just glad Mitta was relatively safe. Cyre than let go and wiped his tears away with a smile.

“I should have protected her, but I made my choice. This is our everlasting punishment for our sins… It’s what we deserve.” Mitta said.

Cyre reached a out to Mitta, patting her on the head and ruffling her hair.

"Why did you stay?"

“I guess my curiosity just got the better of me.I never would have guessed this was what you were trying to protect me from. I’m so sorry.”

“Don’t be. The ponies of this town deserve every drop of this curse, and I’m no exception to that. I had the chance to stop her, to protect her, but I failed as her friend. I abandoned her when she needed me most. Now I have my own sins to bear alongside these…monsters! Cursed to relive my lifelong regret…But you, you can escape our fate. You aren’t bound here. You still have hope.” Mitta stated.

“That’s where you’re wrong. Even if you had helped her I doubt you could’ve changed anything. If anything, they’d have killed you to for defending ruby. Don’t put blame on yourself for something you didn’t have the power to stop.” Cyre stared stoically.

“But I still did nothing to help her! Besides, you can’t help me leave, I’m bonded here, remember?” she looked up to see cyre charging a pink beam at her and she braced. A huge cloud appeared when cyre’s magic hit her, and when it cleared, her body was completely restored, the bond to sunny town completely broken.

Mitta looked herself over and then back to cyre, who smiled.

“Let me tell you something, kid. Even if you are powerful, you can’t help in every encounter. I was part of a tournament that would save our universe from erasure, and I had to fight multiple strong opponents one after another. I was successful for awhile, I even saved a few teammates and healed them with my magic, but then I ran into a super strong opponent named Toppo. I tried to stop him, but I wasn’t strong enough. You know what I did after that? I kept training harder and harder. It only drove me to never let something like it happen again. I never got anywhere when I soaked about it. So don’t hold it against yourself if you didn’t act. You didn’t have the strength to do so. So what do you say, Mitta, ready to put the past behind you?” Cyre held out his hand.

Mitta resisted for a moment, but quickly smiled and placed her hoof in his hand. “Yes I am!” She then gave cyre a hug which cyre easily returned.

Cyre and Mitta left to see how Broly was faring. He currently had a zombie pony in a headlock... giving it a noogie. It kinda looked like... Greyhoof? The Cyre jr. had taken care of the zombie ponies. Every building was even more wreaked than before. A few flames flickering as well. Mitta just looked at the scene with no comment. It was probably for the best anyway.

“oh, who’s a screwed little zombie pony? You are, boy! Yes you are! Yes you are!” Broly said in the same manner as you would to a dog. Greyhoof’s response was to bite down (uselessly) on Broly’s arm. Normally this would be a cause for concern, but Greyhoof's teeth couldn't even break Broly's skin and thus was of no threat.

Broly then flicked Greyhoof’s forehead, sending Greyhoof into a tree. “No! Bad! Bad Zombie Pony! Now get up and tell me you’re sorry.” A few seconds passed with no movement from Greyhoof. He then noticed the two of them watching. Broly walked over and realized Mitta wasn’t a zombie anymore. Mitta was a little frightened, but that wouldn’t stop her. Broly kneeled down to Mitta as she gave him a hug. Well attempted to hug, as his body was to large to wrap around.

Cyre called back his jrs and looked at both of them. “Well, we’re half done. We’ve Got Mitta, now to find her friend, get out of Everfree, and destroy this town so nopony suffers the way they had to.” Broly and Mitta nodded in agreement.

Soon they were out of town, and Broly did the honors of destroying the town. He floated above it, charging a green light energy from around his body and gathers it into his palm to form a bright-green energy sphere. Next, he waves his hand forward and fires the attack at the town. Broly made it smaller so it wouldn’t consume them, but if definitely consumed the town. All that was left of it was a smoldering crater where the town used to be.

Broly then landed as the three now wondered about which way to go. As Cyre wondered this, a new sound broke the silence, a sound like that of clopping hooves. He leapt back as a golden glow erupted underneath him. In the dirt sat a pair of hoof-prints bathed in a golden light. As the clopping sound continued, the prints began to move as well, etching a path directly into the brush in front of them. They all blinked, confounded by this turn of events. They started following the hoof-prints, pushing themselves through the brush and trees as the trail bent and swayed between them. Then finally, it stopped.

They weren’t sure where they were, they had gone so deep in the woods the darkness made it almost impossible to see. Before Cyre could take another step, a golden light pierced through the darkness. Cyre covered his eyes at first, lowing his hand to behold a familiar mare standing before him. She was grey with a blonde mane streaked with gold. Her eyes gleamed with a golden light. The ghostly pony hovered there in front of them, smiling.

“Hi!”

“Um…Hello?” Cyre hesitated. The ghost-pony’s happiness softened into a glum look.

“I’m sorry I dragged you into all this. I was just curious…”

“Oh…don’t be sad, I don’t blame you. I was just as curious…” Cyre tried to not seem apprehensive. The ghost-pony smiled again.

“My name is–”

“Ruby. I’m Cyre, and this is Broly. I’m sure you know who this is...” Cyre said, pointing to Mitta

“That’s a nice name…So glad to have met you Cyre.” when she looked at Mitta, she froze, Mitta just as frozen as her. They immediately rushed to each other and sat there, completely silent.

“It’s been a while, Mitta...”

“It has... but know that I’m here now. I got out of that wretched town with these two. I’m not bonded to that town anymore. I’m free. I’m alive. And most importantly, I’ve gotten over my past. I wasn’t there before when you needed me, but I won’t ever let that happen again. C’mon, Cyre! What are you waiting for?” Mitta said a little anxious.

“Wait! Before I do, would you happen to know a way out of here?” Cyre asked Ruby.

Ruby nodded and floated high into the air, than disappeared. “this way!” her voice echoed as more golden hoof prints led into the bushes. After a couple minutes of walking, they found themselves walking out onto the trail Cyre and Broly were originally on. Ruby than reappeared and floated to the ground.

“Thanks Mitta! What would we do without you? And Your Cutie Mark is a magnifying glass?” Cyre asked as Ruby’s flanks came into view. Ruby turned back to him with glee.

“Yes! Turns out, I’m really good at finding things…and I finally understand what that means too…”

“I’m so sorry for what happened. Those townsponies did such a terrible thing to you.”

“Don’t be sorry Cyre. If anything, pity them.” Ruby Explained never breaking her smile.“They knew what they were doing was wrong, and they paid the price for their actions.”

“But they murdered you! How can you forgive them so easily?” Cyre found Ruby’s cheerful demeanor almost contagious, but he still felt anger for what fate befell her. Ruby sighed.

“It does no good to dwell on the mistakes of others Cyre. The ponies of Sunny Town were acting out of fear and felt no real remorse for what they did. The curse put on them by the Ever Free Forest can be broken, but only through atonement.”

“Then How was I able to break it? Hm, must be the huge difference in power, I’m guessing. Thank goodness for Hax in that case. So then why don’t ya’ just make ‘em feel sorry for what they did?”

“Making somepony feel sorry for their mistakes isn’t the same little one. Unless they can find reason to be sorry, then their restitution is meaningless.”

“WHY DOES EVERYPONY CALL ME LITTLE ONE? IM 19!” Cyre shouted, only for the others to giggle. After that, Ruby stood in front of Cyre, ready to live again. Cyre shot another pink beam. Cyre was straining himself a little bit by doing this, cause more complex magic like this was doable, but it somewhat drained energy. A bright light flashed, blinding everyone momentarily. When it cleared, Ruby had her body back as well. The first thing she did was give a huge hug to Mitta. And then she turned to the Saiyans.

“Thank you so much...” Ruby said with tears in her eyes. with that, all four of them walked on the trail back to ponyville, never to come back to this part of this forest again.

A Saiyan's New Quest! Departing for the Unknown!

In the large expanse that is universe 7, we find ourselves on planet Earth, home to some of the universe's greatest warriors. At Capsule Corporation, there was a large event going on. here was a Saiyan warrior readying himself to be sent off to an Unknown world, by the request of a creation of Bulma. His name was Cyre.

Cyre was created through DNA combination. The DNA of the Saiyans on Earth, Majin Buu, and Frieza were all floating around inside of him. He was grown in a tank by Bulma, basing his design off of Dr. Gero’s “Cell”, though she had improved the design by far. She had started the experiment on her own time after the Universe 6 tournament, after seeing just how powerful the other universes could potentially be. With this in mind, she gathered the DNA of all of Earth's fighters and began the research and development phase. The DNA was composed of all the z fighters, along with Majin Buu, King Cold, and Frieza, but had all the evil parts removed for obvious reasons. When the tournament of power was coming, Bulma had revealed the fruits of her research, with a young child developing in the incubation tank in her lab. Due to the dire need for fighters, the research was then accelerated by the Dragonballs, which made him a fully grown adult and promptly taken out of the holding tank. Even from just being born essentially, he was quite powerful and he could easily defeat most of the Z fighters with no trouble at all. Even better, he was taken to the hyperbolic time chamber, where he trained with Goku and Whis for the entire day before the tournament to help him get acclimated and get as strong as possible. The training for Cyre was quite productive, as he managed to unlock and master super saiyan in that short period. He replaced Frieza for the 10th spot in the tournament of power. Cyre lasted in the tournament for quite a long time, being knocked out of the ring by Toppo when he achieved his god of destruction mode. Cyre even managed to unlock Super Saiyan 2 during that time out of pure desperation, but it meant nothing as Toppo was just far too strong for Cyre to handle. He watched the rest of the tournament and cheered Goku on as he managed to finish off Jiren before Ultra Instinct destroyed his body this time. After the tournament, they went home and Cyre was formally introduced to all the Z fighters, most of which welcomed him with open arms.

Three long years had passed since then for the warriors of Earth. Cyre ultimately began to progress in his training, and he mastered Super Saiyan 2 after a year of rigorous training before he was ultimately sent to Lord Beerus' planet to be trained to use god ki. The other 2 years were spent mostly on this endeavor, and it proved useful. Cyre very recently unlocked Super Saiyan God, but it was so new to him that he couldn't hold the form for more than a minute at current. Fortunately and unfortunately, his power wasn't needed at this point, as there was hardly any conflict left in the universe after the tournament. And naturally being a Saiyan at heart, it didn't sit well. Eventually, he began to realize, that other than Lord Berrus' world and the tournament, he had never traveled throughout the cosmos.

So, with the idea in mind, Cyre took briefs capsule ship and asked Bulma to give him randomized coordinates to see where it would lead him. In preparation, Bulma gave him a full box of capsules that would help him in this new world. That led up to now, with him saying his goodbyes to his newfound family on Earth as he prepared for the journey of a lifetime.

Cyre waved his friends and family goodbye as he stepped onto the ship. sitting in the pilot's seat, he did a quick preflight check before entering the randomized coordinates. The spacecraft, adorned with the Capsule Corporation logo, gleams under the bright midday sun. Its engines roared to life before it quickly took off at blistering speeds. As it climbs higher, the bright blue sky gradually fades to a deep indigo, speckled with stars. The curvature of the Earth becomes visible below, with continents and oceans stretching out in a breathtaking panorama. Breaking free from the Earth’s atmosphere, the spaceship enters the vast expanse of space. The roar of the engines subsides, replaced by the serene silence of the cosmos. The ship’s navigation lights blink methodically, and its sleek form glides effortlessly against the backdrop of infinite darkness, dotted with distant stars and galaxies. Inside, Cyre prepares for the journey ahead, his eyes fixed on the uncharted frontiers that lie before them. The Capsule Corporation spaceship, a symbol of human ingenuity and exploration, embarks on its voyage into the unknown, leaving the familiar world of Earth behind. Cyre decided not to train on the first day. He just wanted to clear his mind and relax, while he imagined what he would find waiting for him on this unknown planet...

Ponyville, One Month after Cyre departed from Earth. 7:30 PM.

As the sun begins its descent behind the rolling hills of Ponyville, the sky is painted in a breathtaking palette of oranges, pinks, and purples. The warm, golden light casts a soft glow over the quaint town, illuminating the thatched-roof cottages and cobblestone streets with a magical ambiance. Twilight Sparkle and Fluttershy stroll through the peaceful town of Ponyville, their conversation filled with gentle laughter and friendly exchanges. Twilight's purple coat and Fluttershy's pastel yellow fur catch the last rays of sunlight, creating a beautiful contrast against the vibrant sky.

Shops are closing for the evening, and ponies are finishing up their day’s activities. The streets are bustling with the cheerful sounds of friends bidding each other goodnight, and the distant melody of birds returning to their nests. The air is filled with the scent of freshly baked goods from Sugarcube Corner and the earthy aroma of blooming flowers from the local gardens.

As they walk, Twilight continues her discussion with Fluttershy, who listens intently, her kind eyes reflecting the soft twilight. The gentle breeze rustles through the leaves of the trees lining the streets, adding a soothing background to their conversation.

"So anyway, I'm just not sure what to do with Angel. He's a really sweet bunny, I swear! But he just tends to be... mischievous. I really don't know what I should do." Fluttershy stated, a harrowing feature plastered on her expression.

"I think you may need to punish him, Fluttershy. He needs to learn that kicking main stallions in the shins for walking up to your door isn't right. Nor is it a pleasant experience." Twilight suggests. Fluttershy's eyes widened, no longer paying attention to the ground as she had earlier.

It had been a month since the events of the season 5 finale and peace had set in for the time being, and Twilight was taking it all in stride. The iconic silhouette of Twilight’s castle shimmers in the distance, its crystal facets catching the last of the sunlight. The setting sun casts long shadows, and as the sky deepens into twilight, the first stars begin to twinkle overhead, adding a touch of enchantment to the evening.

Together, Twilight Sparkle and Fluttershy enjoy the serene beauty of Ponyville at sunset as the two continue to talk.

"Oh I-I can't do that to Angel, h-he was just protecting me! and I've already used the stareon him, but it-" she cuts off.

BOOM!!!

Twilight's ears perked up, getting into a defensive position with her eyes scanning all around her, as Fluttershy yelped and hid behind her friend. She doesn't do well with loud noises that aren't related to her animals. And apparently, neither does all of Ponyville, as evidenced by the screams of terror filling Fluttershy's ears. Along with her own. Looking up in the sky, they saw a strange spherical object in the sky, racing past Ponyville as a sonic boom occurred. Twilight's eyes fixated solely on the ship as it slowed down at watched as it seemed to land near the edge of The Everfree Forest, on the outskirts of Ponyville.

"Fluttershy, stay here. I'm gonna go check out what that was, I'll be right back." Twilight sparks her horn, preparing for a basic teleportation spell. Her concentration is broken when she feels pressure on her withers.

"I won't leave you alone, Twilight. We're friends, and if whatever that thing is happens to be due to a creature of any sort, I'd like to be there to help." Fluttershy stated the determination in her eyes. Her friends need her to be more courageous in the face of fear, and this would be the perfect time to learn to control it. Or not.

Twilight nods, and in a flash of purple and white, they've disappeared.

A blotch of sparkling colors appears, and the two mares are now set in a familiar setting. Twilight and Fluttershy stare straight forward, and a few feet away, the spaceship sits there in front of them. Fluttershy can feel her heart race. Why did she agree to this? What if there's a scary monster in it that can't be tamed? What if it tries to hurt her? What if...

...No. No no, she can't think like that. It's thoughts like those that always fuel her fear of the unknown. She came here to conquer her terror, and by Faust, she will. For her friend's sake, and her own.

With newfound determination shining brightly in her eyes, Fluttershy trots ever so faster toward the odd white ball. Twilight wonders why Fluttershy suddenly insists on rushing but catches up with her pace anyway. They stop, now merely feet away from the cause of the disturbance.

"What do you think it is?" Asks Fluttershy, stepping forward a bit to see if there's anything inside the clear glass on the front door of the object.

"It looks kind of like a jawbreaker. However, it's got a rounded slit, so I'm going to assume this is some sort of pop-"

Her words die in her throat as they watch as the door descends. Fluttershy's heart sinks, taken aback by the sudden movement as she jumps back and catches her breath. Something's inside. It slides out, appearing to be a creature that looked like nothing that they'd ever seen before.

"Fluttershy, get back!" Twilight exclaims, not noticing her outburst caused the creature to look down at her. Fluttershy looks back at Twilight and looks up. it's staring directly at her. She shrieks and jumps back. Its eyes staring right at her. They're locked in eyesight until their lips move.

"Where am I?" Cyre asked. He was staring at a butter-yellow pony staring right back at him. It was the weirdest thing he had ever seen! "Who are you?" The mysterious pony answered his question, much to Cyre's surprise. Not only were they ponies, but they could talk, as well!

"Oh, um, my name, is Fluttershy."

Cyre stopped and realized he was having a conversation with a pony. "Wait...ugh this is messing with my head. So you're...a pony? Or something? By the way, my name is Cyre".

"Yes, a pegasus to be exact. " Fluttershy walked over spread her wings out and took flight for a moment.

"Whoa, that's cool...I can fly to you know..."

"Y..you can fly? But you don't have wings?" Fluttershy grew wild with confusion.

"Oh well..uh...it's complicated. Maybe I'll explain it sometime."

Fluttershy smiled at Cyre, she was quickly beginning to like this mysterious creature. "Don't worry you guys, he's friendly!"

"How could you tell it's a he?" She questioned.

"He resembles a monkey, just without all the hair. I'm just making an assumption based on monkeys I've seen before since I've gotten used to differentiating genders."

Twilight nods. "What should we do with it- er, him?"

Fluttershy ponders. "We can take him back to my home, I think he just needs some rest." Cyre yawned in agreement with that statement.

"Yeah, if you do have a place for me to stay, it would be most appreciated." He walked back to his ship put it into capsule form, and placed it in his pocket.

Suddenly, it dawned on Twilight. This is an extraterrestrial being Fluttershy is currently talking to. One of which all ponykind has never discovered before. It wears clothing, and it appears to be trying to befriend Fluttershy, so it must be a sapient creature. The possibilities!

If this is true, there are so many things she could ask about it! What is its culture like? What does it eat? Where is it from? Why does it have hair protruding from its head like a mane, but not everywhere else?

"Ehm... Twilight?" Fluttershy states.

How many of them are there? Did they descend from monkeys? How do the sun and moon work for them? Heck, do they even have a sun and moon? Are all of his kind this buff?

"Twilight?"

On the other hoof, they may also be dangerous, and she may need to strain caution. How did this pod work? It could be some serious magic, implying that this creature may be rather proficient at spellcasting. But without a horn to cast spells? How did it-

"Twilight!"

Twilight is jolted out of her thoughts at Fluttershy's yell.

"S-Sorry, but we need to get going. I-If you don't mind, could you maybe teleport us?" She asks. Twilight pushes her thoughts aside for later, focusing on the task at hoof. This is no time to get lost in thought, she's got a duty to uphold. The three stood close to each other as they all teleported to Fluttershy's cottage. Where Cyre would spend the night sleeping on Fluttershy's couch. It was surreal for all parties involved, but all would be answered the following day...

A Saiyan in Ponyville! Cyre Meets the Mane 6!

Cyre's eyes flickered open. He sighed and stared up at the unfamiliar ceiling. The morning sunlight beamed through the windows as he lifted himself to a sitting position on the couch.

"Whoa...where am I? Why am I on this comfortable couch?" He said aloud. As he looked around, he looked into the kitchen in the next room and saw a yellow furred creature with a pink mane making food with different vegetables, fruits, herbs, and spices. He couldn't help but remember that pony. She was from the landing site! All the memories from last night flooded his mind as The smell of soup made his belly grumble loudly. "H..Hello?" He called.

Fluttershy's ears shifted toward the sound of his call, she turned quickly and smiled at him. "You...you're awake." She said.

"Where am I?" Cyre asked.

"Well...my house."

Cyre looked around and saw a small room, and a few animals walking, crawling, etc. 'Talk about an animal person...'

"Thanks for letting me stay here, Fluttershy. Letting some unknown creature must've been at least a little unnerving." Cyre was genuinely thankful. She didn't have to do anything like this for him. He would've been fine on his own, but she was kind enough to let him stay here.

"What exactly are you, Cyre? I've never seen anything like you before. Are you some kind of hairless monkey?" Fluttershy was wondering that ever since their eyes met. He looked like a monkey, he even had a tail, but she just wanted to be sure.

"I'm a Saiyan from the planet Earth. Saiyans are a warrior race who strive to be the strongest in the universe. The last few remaining Saiyans are back on Earth with the rest of my friends and family." Fluttershy let that sink in for a moment. It he was a warrior and the strongest, they essentially had another rainbow dash on their hands. Fluttershy sighed with that possibility.

"Earth?" Fluttershy asked.

"It's where I was raised. I have a bit of a long story y'know...also...I think your soup is burning." Cyre noticed a little smoke coming from the kitchen. Fluttershy bolted to the kitchen with a gasp and shut off the stove.

"I completely forgot. Oh, Angel's gonna be upset. I think it's alright though." Fluttershy poured the carrot soup into a bowl and placed it next to Angels food dishes.

"Why do you wear clothes?" Fluttershy asked.

"Well, it's only polite. Where I come from, it's not very nice to have your...uh...stuff out and about, you know? I didn't learn that until I was older, but I never saw a problem with it either, ahehehe."

"Oh, well...it must be freezing without fur as well."

"Ah shucks, it's not so bad." With that, Cyre decided to sit there for a while and eventually fell back asleep.

Later that day, Twilight came into Fluttershy's house."Oh Fluttershy, are you home?" She called. Cyre didn't get up straight away, but stayed down, worried he might frighten her. Fluttershy came into the room. "Oh good...oh, my. I didn't expect you here." She said.

"Well, you are taking care of an unknown creature, and I came to see how you were doing. Plus, I want to know where he came from, who he is. So where's your friend you're taking care of?" Fluttershy pointed to Cyre, who was still fake sleeping.

Twilight slowly walked over, cautious. She didn’t want to provoke it— him. She slowly placed her hoof on his shoulder and tapped lightly. She looked at Cyre’s face, and saw him stirring, and eventually opened his eyes and stared at her.

“Oh, it’s you. I didn’t expect you to see me again so soon. The name is Cyre, if I didn’t tell you before. So what’s your name?” Cyre said with a smile. Twilight took a moment to drink that in before smiling back.

“My name is Twilight Sparkle, princess of equestria and friendship. I came here to see how you were feeling. And learn some things about you.” She said as she pulled out a quill and some parchment.

“Wait. Did you say princess of friendship?” Cyre asked, trying to keep a straight face. She nodded back yes. Cyre just sat there for a moment... before he bursts out laughing.

Twilight stood there flabbergasted, and then looked at cyre angrily, with her nose scrunched up. “What’s so funny? Is friendship not important where you’re from?”

Once Cyre got himself under control, he nodded. “Yes, That’s the case. It must be pretty important to your culture here,if you’re a princess of it.” Cyre than noticed that she had a horn and wings, which peaked Cyre's interests.

"Hey, what's that horn doing on your head? Is it important? And how exactly do you have wings to?" Cyre asked, pointing at her horn.

She giggled graciously. She lifted a vase with her magic and brought it to Cyre.

"Whoa!" Cyre exclaimed. "How are you doing that?"

"What? Magic?"

"It's floating. It's glowing the same color as your horn. Do you ponies know how to use Ki too? Awesome!"

"Key? Um...no dear, I'm a unicorn. Or at least, I was born a unicorn, I was transformed into an alicorn .Unicorns possess the ability to manipulate things with magic. We're all born with it." Twilight explained.

Before anypony could say anything else, Cyre's stomach growled, vigorously. "Oh...damn, I'm hungry. Do you guys have anywhere with good food around here?" He asked.

"Hm...I think I know just the place." Twilight said, giving Fluttershy a glare, and a smirk.

"You want to take him to sugarcube corner? Don't you think it's a bit early for him to be getting out? He just stood up for the first time in-"

Fluttershy was interrupted by the sound of Cyre opening up the front door and walking outside. ".....what do you know., Fluttershy said.

"Woo, boy does it feel good to get some fresh air." He said. "Well, I'm ready to go! I think I'm just gonna walk though, seeing as I don't know where I'm going."

Twilight and Fluttershy were quick to follow him outside and lead the way.

‘Well, I guess I can ask him more questions later. Hopefully not to much time later, though.’ Twilight thought as she teleported her quill and parchment back to her castle.

Ponies started in curiosity at first sight of the strange creature walking through town on two legs with Fluttershy and Rarity. Nobody had ever seen anything walking upright, besides Spike, of course. "This place sure is lively. Everybody seems so friendly!" Cyre smiled and looked at all the buildings as they walked through Ponyville. Cyre was slightly disappointed though, every being he sensed were as powerful as saibamen or weaker. 'Well, can't hope for everything to be perfect...'

"We're almost there," Fluttershy said. "Now, I am going to warm you..um..Pinkie Pie might be a little bit...overwhelming at first."

"Overwhelming? Pfft, wait till she gets a load of me!" Cyre welcomed the challenge.

Sugarcube corner came into view as they turned the corner past the city hall. There lay the restaurant owned by Mr. and Mrs. Cake, in all it's sugar covered, cavity making glory. Cyre's eyes sparkled as his mouth watered. Though he wasn't big on sweets, at this point he was willing to take what he could get.

As they approached the front entrance, ponies stared at Cyre, chatting amongst themselves. Suddenly, a pink pony burst out the door with a giant cannon, aimed right at Cyre. "PARTY!" She yelled out. Cyre looked down the barrel, and smiled, almost as if he was hoping to catch whatever came out the cannon.

"No, Pinkie, wait!" Fluttershy tried to stop Pinkie, but it was too late. She pulled the trigger.

BAM!!!

In seconds, Cyre's face was covered in confetti, silly string, and balloons floated up and above him. He stood there frozen, before letting out a big laugh, and shaking the confetti from his face. "A party cannon. Neat."

"Hello there Earth creature!" Pinkie said.

"You must be Pinkie Pie ahehe." Cyre shook her hoof gently. "I guess word has gotten around where I'm from?" Cyre asked.

"Nope!" Pinkie said.

"Then how-

"I know lots of stuff!"

"Oh really?"

"Yeah! Let me guess. You're starving right now from not being able to get enough to eat the past few days!" Pinkie wildly guessed.

"That's right! You guys have food here right?" Cyre asked, worried they might not.

"Of course! Follow me!" Pinkie led them inside and greeted them with many cakes and cookies and goodies.

"You guys are just in time for the big cupcake eating contest!" Pinkie exclaimed happily, bouncing up and down.

"Pinkie, nobody enters those anymore because you always win." Twilight claimed. "Besides, nopony here could handle cupcakes like you can. It's practically impossible..."

"An eating contest?" Cyre asked. "Count me IN!" The girls looked at him like he was crazy. "In fact, let's make it personal. They say you always win cupcake eating contest?" He looked at Pinkie. "Let's go then. Right here. Right now. Pinkie. I challenge you to a cupcake eating contest!" Cyre yelled, pointing at Pinkie.

Everybody at Sugarcube corner stopped what they were doing in awe. Some even dropped their treats and drinks in terror. Nobody has ever challenged Pinkie with such confidence. A smile grew on Pinkie's face. "You have no idea what you just got yourself into."

"Oh yeah?"

"Yeah!"

"CUPCAKE EATING CONTEST!!!" A random pony suddenly yelled. In seconds, the whole town seemed to be in a riot. Setting up tables, and seats and people running to spread the word. In Ponyville, anybody challenging Pinkie to anything to do with sweets is a must see. Two tables were set up for Cyre and Pinkie to sit at, and Mr. and Mrs. Cake started baking cupcakes at maximum speed.

"Mares and Gentlecolts! This stranger thinks he can best Ponyvilles own Pinkie Pie, the current Equestrian cupcake eating champion for 5 years and counting!" A beige mare was now talking with through a speaking trumpet. "Come one come all, May I please have the contestants to the stage!" She said.

Cyre cautiously made his way to the table, now slightly shaking.'Is this Pinkie Pie really that good at eating cupcakes...oh man, what if it's too much. She's clearly an experienced champ.'He thought. He sat at his table, as did Pinkie at hers. Mayor Mare walked over to Cyre with the speaking trumpet.

"So, you want to challenge Pinkie? Equestria wants to know your name brave one." She held the megaphone up to Cyre.

"Uh..hi, my name is Cyre."

"CYRE!" She yelled. "Brave Cyre is the challenger of the one, the only, 'cupcake crusher', Pinkie Pie!" Suddenly, Mr. and Mrs. Cake brought in two large mountains of cupcakes bigger than them. The trays were placed in front of Cyre and Pinkie.

"Usually, we go by who finishes the tray first, but this time. This is...to the stomach!" Mayor Mare yelled. The crowd gasped. "In, to the stomach, each contestant will eat, until the other gives up. No limit. No time. Nothing but cupcakes." She explained.

'Here we go...'Cyre thought.

"BEGIN!" Mayor Mare yelled, and both Pinkie and Cyre began to shovel cupcakes into their mouths rapidly. Ponies started cheering as the counters of cupcakes eaten were going up at ridiculous speed.

"Dear Celestia they're neck and neck, both already at 10 cupcakes each."

Cyre was shoving as many of them into his mouth as he could, determined to prove that saiyans are the masters of eating all kinds of food no matter what kind! Cyre looked over at pinkie, and saw her going just a fast as him. Cyre was surprised, but not enough to deter him.

'This isn't so bad...they're pony sized cupcakes, I can eat these forever.'Cyre thought to himself.

A literal hour later…

Mayor Mare's voice was hardly working by this point and had to have a replacement take her spot. The contests usually last minutes, with Pinkie winning effortlessly.

Now both Cyre and Pinkie were at their limit. Both of them had their heads down, groaning in stomach pains from the amount of sugar consumed. "I'm...never giving up." Pinkie said.

"Just...stop wasting...everybody's time. You'll never win. I refuse... To lose... To a crazy pink pony... On my pride... AS A SAIYAN!!!" Cyre said. At this rate, they were both eating half a cupcake every five seconds.

The new announcer spoke aloud, "New rule! First to throw up loses!" The crowd was now speechless, just watching in awe as Cyre continued to eat, as did Pinkie.

"I can do this *hic* all day spaceman." Pinkie said.

"Just wait and see," Cyre replied. As they both shoveled in their 200th cupcake, Pinkie's grip slipped, and she dropped it on the ground. She looked at it confused and suddenly fell to the ground. She lied there and snored, succumbing to the sugar crash that comes after the rush. The crowd gasped...

"CYRE WINS!" Everypony was cheering now, party cannons were fired. Complete with a thumbs up and a dumb smile on his face, Cyre face planted into the remaining cupcakes and also crashed from the sugar.

"Now, starts the after party!" The announcer gave the mic to a DJ pony who was now blasting music from her sound system. Everybody was now up and on their hooves. Water was splashed on to Cyre and Pinkie, snapping them both awake. "Did...I win?" They both said at the same time.

"I'm sorry Pinkie, but you lost," Fluttershy said. "He ate 200. You ate...199. Oh gosh I'm so sorry, are you okay?"

"No..." Pinkie replied, "I'm am SUPER EXCITED. Nobody has EVER beaten me in a cupcake eating contest!" Pinkie rushed over to Cyre. "Are you and I related somehow? We must be for you be able to beat me!"

"Ahehe...say...you guys wouldn't happen to have rice here, would you?" Cyre asked. "I know we just ate, but I really need some real food too..." He giggled.

"Of course! Anything for the new champ!"

The crowd of Ponyville now cheered Cyre's name repeatedly. "Hooray..." He said weakly. If one looked close enough, his right eye twitched.

'I'm never doing that again...'

After getting through the stomach aches, Pinkie, Cyre, Fluttershy, and Rarity made their way to Twilight's Crystal Castle. As they approached the castle, Cyre examined the building. "that's one fancy-schmancy castle" He mused.

Cyre, Twilight, and Fluttershy stepped up the stairs and walked inside. “this is my castle, Cyre. I hope you like it!” Twilight exclaimed as they walked through the halls.

"Wow, I don't think I've ever been in a crystal castle before," Cyre replied. He couldn’t help but be impressed, not every day you see a castle made almost entirely out of crystal!

“The others should be here shortly. I'm gonna go make some tea.” Twilight said.

“Oh, that sounds great! I haven't had tea since that one time with King Kai! I wonder if he knows where I am...” Cyre said as Twilight went into the other room. As she did, there was a knock at the door. Fluttershy went to look through the peephole and then opened it up wide, letting two ponies in. One was flying, a blue pegasus with a rainbow mane, and an orange pony.

"Yo, what up Fluttershy!" The pegasus said, giving Fluttershy a hoof bump. She turned toward Cyre.

"Whoa. I thought Fluttershy was introducing her to a colt friend or something, hehe!." Rainbow giggled, making Fluttershy's cheeks flush red as she hid behind her hair.

"Stop it Rainbow you're embarrassing her. Didn't I tell you it wasn't a pony?" The orange pony defended Fluttershy and turned to Cyre. "Nice to finally meet you face to face. Cyre, right?" Applejack extended a hoof. Cyre lightly grabbed it and shook, "Howdy, I'm Applejack, and this is Rainbow Dash."

"That's me!" Rainbow said, "The fastest flier in Equestria!" She boasted.

"Nice to meet you both," Cyre said. Suddenly, the door burst open, and the familiar pink pony, Pinkie Pie, walked in with Rarity.

"I told you we'd be late if we stopped to eat cupcakes!" Rarity said.

"Oh come on Rarity lighten up!" Pinkie bounced around. "Hey there Ceyr!" She said.

"Oh uh...it's Cyre." Cyre corrected her politely and giggled.

"My bad. My memory is a little fuzzy after eating so many cupcakes, woo! I still can't believe you beat me!"

"That doesn't sound very good Pinkie," Twilight said as she walked back into the room with teacups and a boiling kettle. "You might want to see a doctor."

"Wait," Rainbow interrupted, "did I just hear that right? You beat Pinkie in a cupcake eating contest?"

"Yup! Sure did!" Cyre exclaimed.

"Yup. He kicked my rump fair and square." Pinkie continued to bounce up and down. Twilight finished pouring the tea and gave one cup to everybody. Cyre was the first to sip.

"Careful, I just finished making it, it's boiling hot, Twilight warned. Cyre ignored her warning and drank anyway. Boiling water was nothing to him by this point. That tends to happen when super heated beams are shot at you for more than 80% of your life.

"Wow, this is really good! Thanks, Twilight." Cyre said. He made a note to ask what type of tea this was later.

"Of course."

"So if you don't mind me asking, now that the introductions are out of the way; Where in Equestria did you come from, and how did you end up here?" Rainbow asked.

"Well...I came from Earth, my home planet."Cyre said, putting down his tea. "Well...my story is really complicated, I'm not sure if you guys have the time to hear it all."

Oh, do tell darling. We made sure we had nothing planned to come to meet you." Rarity said.

"I'd like to know as well." Fluttershy said softly. As she did, a small purple dragon and a pink unicorn with purple hair that had a neon stripe running through it came walking downstairs, the dragon yawning and holding a blanket around him.

What's going on, gals?" She asked. The purple haired unicorn just stared at the Saiyan. "Girls, who is this?" she asked.

"Finally decided to get up, huh Spike?" Twilight said. "You're just in time, take a seat." spike sat down as twilight turned to the purple maned mare. "You as well. Cyre, this is starlight glimmer, my new apprentice." he nodded and saw starlight sit next to Twilight.

"Well, we're listening," Twilight said, while pulling out the quill and parchment from earlier . Cyre took a deep breath in and glanced down at the floor.

"Well...you see, I may be from Earth. But...I'm different. Most Earthlings are called Humans. All humans were born and raised on Earth. Me on the other hand...I'm a Saiyan." He began.

"Saying?" Spike asked.

"Close, say it again without the g...anyways. Even though I was raised on Earth, I'm actually not a human at all. I'm pretty similar to humans, but humans are much weaker naturally. I apparently was a warrior race, born with a passion to fight, and incredible natural strength. At least, that's what my four fathers told me. In all technicality, I'm not all Saiyan. I'm part human, part frost demon, and part Majin, a bunch of other things. Don't ask, it would take way to long to explain. To sum it up, I was artificially produced in a lab." Cyre explained.Twilight wanted to question how that was possible, but then she realized that she probably shouldn't meddle with how artificial life is created, so she remained quiet.

"my friend Bulma and her father built a spaceship for me to go to this world in. I wanted to explore a little, which led me here."

"Wow, this Bulma must be a genius to be able to build things that fly through space!" Twilight said. "I'd love to meet her one day if I could. I'm a scientist myself."

"Oh, wow that's great! Well, as soon as I was back on my feet, I too took off from Earth, and headed here, obviously! Luckily, Bulma's father taught her everything she knows, so he was the perfect one to build my ship. He installed a gravity amplifier built right into the ship for me to use in training, among other things, such as a shower and a kitchen. It looks pretty small and cramped from the outside, but it’s actually pretty spacious. Throughout my journey to Equestria, I trained at different levels of gravity, increasing the gravity as I got stronger. In the end, I was able to withstand a force of gravity 500x the gravity on Earth, where I'm from. Come to think of it, the gravity here is pretty similar to Earth's."

"FIVE HUNDRED?!" Everybody shouted, even Fluttershy.

"B-b-but that's impossible! You must weight over 200 pounds at least, that means..." Twilight thought for a moment. “you'd weight 100,000 pounds!? FIFTY TONS!”she exclaimed.

“Yeah, if you count out the weighted clothing ” he added. That only put the eight of them in more surprise.

“You wear weighted clothing? Doesn’t that make it harder to move? I don’t see the logic behind it Cyre.” Applejack noted.

“That’s the point. If you get used to wearing weighted cloth, you eventually get used to it. Once you take it off, you feel lighter, and you’re also stronger and faster. The same goes for the gravity room." Cyre explained.

"Anyway, I spent the last Three years training and getting stronger. Eventually, I surpassed almost all the warriors on my home planet, and they were the strongest beings in the universe! However, there’s two or three that I haven’t been able to exceed in power, but tit doesn’t bother me too badly. Like I said earlier, I wanted to explore the universe a little, and that brings us up to where we are now!" Cyre exclaimed.

"What an amazing story...the story of Cyre!" Rarity exclaimed.

"That was totally awesome!" Rainbow shouted in glee as she jumped into the air.

"I've heard quite a number of stories from ponies comin' and goin' on the farm, and I gotta say that is one hell of a story." Applejack explained.

"Well...I'm glad you liked it...I'm sorry it took so long to tell." Cyre peered out of the window, realizing it was now night time. "How long was I talking?"

"Don't worry about it, we all enjoyed it," Twilight said.

“Oh wait! There’s one last thing I need to show you!” Cyre than unwrapped his tail and showed them all, much to their intrigue.

“Wait, you have a tail? I thought that was some kind of belt! Does it serve some kind of purpose?” Twilight asked.

Cyre grew nervous when she asked that. “Well... I was born with a tail. It’s main purpose is to... increase my power and allow me to go super saiyan. If I cut if off, I wouldn’t be able to go super saiyan, and my power level would lower a little.” Cyre said.

‘If they knew the full truth...’ cyre thought. Applejack narrowed her eyes at Cyre. There was something He wasn’t telling them...

"super saiyan’? What exactly is that?” Starlight asked .

“It’s when a saiyan embraces their anger, and use that anger to boost their power. All attributes of a saiyan are increased tremendously, x50 if I recall correctly for normal super saiyan.” Cyre noted.

"Can we see what a super saiyan looks like? Huh, can we, can we?" Pinkie bounced wildly.

“Of course... though you may want to step back though.” Cyre said as he got up and stepped away, as the others did the same.

Cue the epic power up music!

Cyre got into stance as he began to yell. The ground began to shake heavily as Cyre continued to power up. His hair started flashing from black to gold on occasion. Eventually, high force winds began blowing towards the equines, which also blew away anything not tied down or firmly planted to the ground. Rainbow dash had to stop flying and land in order to not get blown away. The others were slowly being pushed back as cyre transformed. When they looked at him, they saw cracks and holes starting to appear all around his body, like he was shedding some kind of biological armor. Eventually, all of it broke off and a bright light shined from Cyre that blinded everypony momentarily.

When they could see again, they looked at cyre in awe, his hair, eyebrows and tail had turned golden, his eyes turned teal, and he had a golden, flaming arua around him that went upwards, and was accompanied by a high pitch noise emanating from the aura.

“That... was... AWESOME!!!” Rainbow dash instantly flew over once she got a good look at Cyre’s super saiyan form. Normally, she would try to shrug something she thought as “cool”, but she couldn’t help it this time.

The others just sat there. They were more focused on the power he was pushing outwards.it felt like a tsunami was washing over them... with one tsunami for each second that rolled by.

“How many pull ups... how many sit ups... what kind of juice?” Twilight said, still in disbelief. His power was beyond anything she had ever experienced, even more so than when she had the princesses magic, and rainbow magic! She didn’t even doubt that putting them together would make a difference against Cyre’s power!

Pinkie bounced over to break the silence. “Heeey Cyre! You look a lot different! Well, not really, You really only changed your eyes and hair. You look shiny now! You mind if I called this form of yours Goldie locks? I hope you don’t mind Goldie!”

This made Everybody laugh and enjoy the bonding moment. Cyre let the aura go away as his hair turned blonde and sat down and thought of his home as the others came over to him...Gohan, Chi Chi, Vegeta, Gohan, Bulma, Goku. His family was somewhere out there across the galaxy, thinking of him.

I'll...I'll be fine here. I'll protect my new friends from whatever comes their way. I promise.

A New Era Begins! The Crystal Empire's Royal Baby!

Several deep breathes entered and exited Cyre's mouth as he meditated. The peaceful quiet of the spaceship made it much easier for him to concentrate. He had already done a lot of physical exercises which is what he usually did before meditation. So now he was clearing his mind.

A week had passed since Cyre had been acquainted with the mane 6 and starlight, and as before, he came here, he was becoming increasingly bored. Everything seemed to have calmed down after the T.O.P, There hadn't been any new issues popping up. There was his training and that was about it. Sure, he was hoping that a powerful enemy would come and challenge him, but he was finding some enjoyment in the peaceful times.

Unfortunately, especially for someone like him, peace never seemed to last permanently. That fact was made all the more clear when he sensed all eight of his new friends outside the ship. He stood up from his sitting position and walked over to the door. Upon opening the door the first thing he noticed was Twilight smiling at him.

"Hi, Cyre how's it going?" The purple mare asked with a nervous smile.

"Honestly, I'm not sure. It's in my Saiyan DNA to have a good fight once in a while, but everything had been so peaceful. And not just here, the whole universe! I really wish something exciting would show up soon. So what is it your here for?"

"Well, we were all wondering if you would like to come with us to see my brother's newborn foal. It's all the way in the crystal empire. Want to come with us?"

Cyre was aware the crystal empire existed, he had done some reading in the week he got to Equestria and Twilight had told him of the battles they had with Equestria's enemies, and he had to say, they were total weaklings, but they certainly had interesting abilities.

"Yeah, I don't see why not. Besides, it would give me a chance to explore more of Equestria." Cyre said with a smile. 'Get ready Crystal Empire, I'm coming!'

Cyre was sitting in the friendship express, riding to the crystal empire with his new friends. While Cyre was riding there, he listened in on his friends conversations.

"Um, Applejack, what is that?" rainbow asked, pointing at a strange object sitting next to her, which was covered by a blanket. "Oh, just a little somethin' for the young'un." she removed the blanket to reveal a baby bed. "Made from genuine Sweet Apple Acres apple trees. We make 'em for all the Apples, and anypony related to Twilight is practically family."

"Yeah, it's okay... But it's no Cloudsdale mobile! Bam!" rainbow revealed her present to be a mobile, which pinkie and rarity ooh'd at.

"Well, a mobile is real nice... as long as you have somethin' to lay in so you can look at it." applejack replied.

"Anda fetching blanket to keep you warm." rarity levitated a blanket into the bed.

Cyre meanwhile, was deep in thought. He always wondered what parenthood was like, and wanted to try it someday. But due to training, he never had a chance to on earth. Cyre was of course, conflicted at the thought of being with a pony, even a talking sentient one, but he knew he had all the time in the world to make a choice, thanks to majin buu's immortal cells. Cyre pushed it out of his head for now and focused on the others again .

Twilight smiled at her friends. "I'm sure Shining Armor and Princess Cadance will love all our gifts. But I think they're more happy we'll be attending the baby's Crystalling."
Pinkie Pie began to bounce in excitement."Ooh! I can't wait to see all that light and love make the Crystal Heart even more sparkly and shiny!"

"Actually, Pinkie, the Crystal Heart is an ancient and powerful relic. Without its magic, the Crystal Empire would be lost to the Frozen North."

"Wow, this Crystalling sounds pretty important. I'd understand if you wanted to... you know... wait to do a different friendship lesson when we get back." Cyre had heard of starlight glimmers past in the week, and he had to be honest, he was a little worried about what Twilight was planning on having Starlight do... Meet up with her first friend, Sunburst.

Of course, Twilight was oblivious to it. "Are you kidding? This trip is perfect! Not only do I get to see the baby and take part in the ceremony that helps maintain the magic of the Crystal Empire, but I'm starting my new pupil off with the most amazing friendship lesson ever! I can't wait!"

Starlight Glimmer only got more nervous then before. "Right... Me neither... Actually, Twilight, I am a little worried about meeting Sunburst."

"Oh, trust me. I know what it's like to see old friends. But I'll be right there to help things along. I've broken the whole lesson down into a few easy steps to ensure this reunion goes off without a hitch!" She rolled out a gigantic scroll with specific steps to meet sunburst.

Starlight Glimmer laughed nervously as the train pulled into the station.

Twilight Sparkle started to read the list as she steps off the train. "Step one, head to Sunburst's house and get you two started on the right hoof. Step two, get to the castle with enough time to visit the ba—" with a thump, she was cut short as she bumped into her brother, who looked like he hadn't slept in weeks. "Shining Armor!"

Shining armor replied in kind, although it was in a tired voice, along with a hug. "Twilight...!"

"I didn't know you were meeting us!"Twilight said ecstatically.

Shining Armor seemed completely out of it, which worried Cyre slightly. "Of course I am! It's me, right here. Here I am. Why wouldn't I come meet my sister? Though we have met before, heh-heh..."

Twilight Sparkle soon followed right after Cyre. "Are you all right?"

"Never better! Being a father is amazing! And wonderful, and amazing, and confusing, and amazing, but surprising too, you know? I mean, not that you'd know. You wouldn't know, I know... You know?" Shining Armor's eye twitched as he sighed. "Sorry. I haven't really slept since Cadance had the baby. Come to think of it, she hasn't either. It sure would be great to get a break."

Twilight Sparkle was taken aback by that. Why didn't she consider this? "Oh, of course! I don't know what I was thinking! You two probably need all kinds of help! I'm sorry, Starlight, but I guess combining your first lesson with this visit wasn't such a good idea."

Starlight Glimmer went from nervous to ecstatic in a matter of seconds. "Oh, uh, don't be ridiculous! You're an aunt now! That's way more important than some friendship lesson."

Cyre stepped forward towards them. "Maybe I can help." cyre pulled out a senzu bean, which was for emergencies, and handed it over to Shining Armor. He didn't know what it was, but he was too exhausted to do anything. It also didn't help that he was being essentially fed by an unknown creature, but he had little to lose. With that, he ate the bean and swallowed. The moment he did, he felt all his strength and energy return to him. "What? What just happened? And better yet, who are you?" he pointed a hoof at the Saiyan.

Cyre chuckled. "My name is Cyre, and I'm a friend of your sister. What you just ate was a senzu bean. It heals the user, giving them all their energy back and healing any injuries."

Shining looked him over and turned to his sister, who nodded in approval. "well, any friend of my sister is a friend of mine. The Name is Shining Armor. A pleasure to meet you."

Cyre took his hoof and shook it. "the Pleasure is all mine."

Twilight Sparkle was saddened that she couldn't split both activities, still. "I just wish there was a way to do both."

Spike suggested a plan. "Maybe there is! You've already done the work for Starlight's lesson with this list. All we have to do is follow it!"

Twilight Sparkle , much like Starlight a few minutes ago, went from sad to ecstatic in seconds. "Spike, you're a genius!"

Starlight Glimmer was now the complete opposite. "Yeah... genius."

"Then it's settled! Shining Armor and I will head straight to the castle, and you two can head straight to Sunburst's!" Twilight was more excited than ever. Not only would she see the baby, but her student would start her first friendship lesson!

Spike saluted as he answered. "Aye-aye, Princess!"

Starlight Glimmer nervously responded as she left. "Uh-huh."

Twilight Sparkle then turned back to Shining. "Alright, big brother, let's go see this amazing baby pony!"

Cyre walked with twilight and her friends, feeling slightly sorry for starlight.

Spike noticed starlight's worry quickly. "I know you're a little worried about this reunion, but I'm sure Twilight's got everything covered."

Starlight Glimmer was currently trying to stall for time. Anything to slow down their meeting.

"Everything except how I'd rather do absolutely anything else."

"Oh, I bet she's taken that into account too. It's all part of the lesson.Trust the lesson."

Starlight Glimmer wasn't so convinced of that as she bumped into a statue of spike. "Right... Hey, i-is that... you?"

Spike looked up and noticed. "Oh, yep, it sure is! Now, according to the list, Sunburst's house is—"

Starlight Glimmer saw the perfect opportunity."Why there a statue of you in the Crystal Empire?"

"Scarlet Heart" spoke up first. "Because Spike the Brave and Glorious saved all of us from King Sombra!"

"Amber Laurel" was next. "And then again during the Equestria Games!"
Starlight Glimmer didn't believe it at all. "Really?"

"Golden Väs" was last to talk. "Really! Big fan." She said that to spike.

"Um, when were you going to tell me about this?" Starlight remarked.

Spike just shrugged it off. "Nah, it's no big deal."

The Crystal Ponies all exclaimed. I"t most certainly is!"

Starlight Glimmer had somehow gotten a chair and a bag of popcorn. "That's it! We're not going anywhere until I get the whole story!"

Shining Armor stopped everypony as they approached where the baby was being held. "Before we go in, I should probably tell you. Seeing the baby might be a bit of a shock."

Twilight Sparkle shrugged it off, as did the rest of them. "Come on, big brother. I've met babies before. I expect meeting this one won't be any different." When they walked in, all of them (with the exclusion of Cyre) gasped at the baby as it cooed, mainly because it had wings and a horn.

Twilight Sparkle quickly tried to compose herself. "Of course, I could be wrong. The baby is an Alicorn?!"

Princess Cadance walked over, and she was just as tired as Shining armor was a few minutes ago. "It looks that way."

Rarity was the first one to voice her opinion. "But... But... But I thought Alicorn wings had to be earned by accomplishing some great, princess-worthy deed!"

Applejack was as confused as the rest of them. "Yeah. How can you just be born with 'em?"

"The birth of an Alicorn is something Equestria has never seen!" They all turned and saw princess Celestia and Luna.

"It is beyond even our understanding." Luna replied.

"That's not very reassuring." Fluttershy responded in a hushed tone.

Pinkie Pie of course, was just excited. "Wow! A unicorn, and a Pegasus! So she could be a super-strong flyer and have crazy baby magic!"

Rainbow Dash began to welcome this due to Pinkie's enthusiasm. "Well, I know allabout super-strong flying!"

"And I can help keep tabs on her magic!" Twilight said with confidence. Flurry Heart sneezed and blasted a hole into the ceiling.

Princess Celestia was intrigued. "It appears her magic is more powerful than that of a newborn unicorn!"

Cyre then decided to speak up. "Uh, yeah. No kidding she's powerful, with my scouter, I can easily tell her power is already over 2,500! That's almost Twilight Sparkle Level magic!"

Princess Luna looked outside to see a crowd gathering nearby. "The crowds have already started to gather."

Pinkie Pie started to blow up balloons. "This Crystalling is gonna be some party!"

Princess Cadance was still a little worried. "Do you think we should call it off?"

Rainbow Dash wasn't phased by Cyre, nor Princess Cadance. "Um, we've all faced a lot worse than baby magic."

"I can't imagine cancelling such a beautiful and important ceremony over something so potentially adorable!" Rarity said in agreement.

Applejack,Fluttershy,Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash spoke in general agreement.

Princess Celestia was with them on this. "In light of the little one's abilities, this Crystalling might be more important than ever. She then turned to Cadance. "Perhaps you should address your subjects and remind them of that."

Twilight Sparkle walked over to shining armor. "Shining Armor! Do you have everything you need for the ceremony?"

"Huh? Oh, no! I still have to interview the honor guards, choose the purity crystal, and pick a crystaller!" He said in worry.

Twilight Sparkle calmed him down from his mini freak out. "Alright, take it easy. Pinkie can stay here with me and Cyre and keep an eye on the baby."

"And we'll all help you with everythin' else." Applejack replied.

"Yeah, you can count on us!" Cyre responded in pride.

Little did they all know, that baby would cause a very big problem for the empire, very soon...

"...and that's how we found the Crystal Heart, defeated King Sombra, and saved the Empire." the crystal ponies cheered as spike finished the story.

"We love you, Spike!"Cloudy spinel shouted.

"Yeah. Tell the one about the Equestria Games!" coral shores suggested.

Spike shook his head. "Well, as much as I love reliving my heroic deeds, Starlight and I have an important lesson to do, by order of the Princess of Friendship!"

The Foals "Awwww'd" and left.

Starlight Glimmer was again, trying to stall spike. "Aw, come on, Spike! I want to hear about the Games too!'

"I know you're nervous about seeing Sunburst, but it says right in step 3, to, uh, "Deal with your fears by facing them, not by putting it off." spike read from the scroll.

Soon enough, they arrived at sunburst's front door.

"Ugh. Let's go get this over with." starlight went to knock on the door, but spike stopped her. "Wait!"

Starlight Glimmer was certainly confused. "Huh? What?!"

"Knocking on the door isn't the next thing on the list!"

"Seriously?" starlight said.

"I know Twilight can be a little nitpicky, but this is your first lesson as her pupil, and it's important that we do it right!" spike defended.

Starlight Glimmer didn't see the point in arguing. "Fine. What's the next thing on the list?"

Spike cleared his throat before reading. "Before they see each other, be sure to highlight the importance of the meeting."

"I'm pretty sure we can skip that." starlight replied.

Spike began to worry. "I don't know... I mean if we skip it, the whole lesson could go south! And then you might end up taking a giant step backwards instead of forwards! Maybe you'll never be able to learn anything about friendship at all! It's almost like your whole future depends on this moment. "Highlight the importance of the meeting" – check! I can't believe you wanted to skip that!"

With that, starlight knocked on the door. For a few moments, nopony answered, but eventually, sunburst peaked his head out of the door. "Sunburst?"

"Yes? What can I do for you?" he asked.

"It's... It's me, Starlight. We used to be friends?" she replied.

Sunburst's eyes opened in realization. "Oh, of course! S-Starlight! My goodness, it-it's been a long time! What, uh, what have you been up to?"

"Me? Oh! You know, some of this, some of that, different... stuff. Right now, I'm sort of Twilight Sparkle's new pupil."

Sunburst looked at starlight in surprise. "The Princess of Friendship?"

Starlight Glimmer chuckled nervously. "Heh... yeah... that's actually kind of why I'm here. I mean, I know you're probably very busy."

"What do you mean?" he asked.

"Well, I figured after magic school, you'd go on to do important wizard work, but..."

Sunburst was starting to lose his composure. "Oh. No. Y-Yes! Uh, y-yes, that's me, yup. Important wizard! Really busy with lots of, uh, wi-wizarding... stuff. Right. Uh, well... good to see you." with that, he shut the door.

"Huh. Maybe we should have skipped highlighting the importance of the meeting after all." Spike remarked.

Starlight Glimmer was never happier to see the door shut. "Well, I guess that's that!"

"Starlight, come on! We have to at least explain what Twilight wants!" spike protested.

Starlight groaned in annoyance.

Princess Cadance, who was tired out before cyre gave her a senzu bean, was now adressing her subjects, wide awake and full of energy.

"Dearest citizens, I am sure you are all just as thrilled and ready for this Crystalling as myself and Shining Armor." The crowd cheered in response. Meanwhile, with the others, shining was freaking out, breathing heavily. "I'm not ready!"

Rainbow Dash was the first to try and calm his nerves. "Take it easy! Just pick whoever looks the most like honor guard material."
Surprisingly, it worked. "Right... right." He took the two helmets that rainbow had and chucked them at two of the guards, who ended up being hit by the helmets instead.
"I'm sorry. Fatherhood is way more stressful than I ever thought."

"I can only imagine." fluttershy said in agreement.

"Now, I know choosing the crystal of purity is a very important decision. So I have gone through the trouble of arranging them in order from incredibly pure to outrageously pure." rarity walked over with a box of crystals that looked exactly the same.

"Um, Rarity, don't they all sort of look the same?" fluttershy asked.

"Oh, well, to the untrained eye, perhaps. What do you think, Shining Armor?" rarity levitate the box over to shining armor, who began to incoherently stammer. "I don't know!"

"I hope Twilight, Cyre and Pinkie are having better luck with the baby!" rarity said in a hushed tone.

"Well... at least she's having... fun!"
Pinkie pie was holding onto flurry heart, while Cyre and twilight were shooting down flurry hearts bursts of magic.

"Pinkie, hold her still!" both twilight and cyre exclaimed.

"I'm tryiiiiiiing!"

"So... the Princess of Friendship wants you and I to be friends again?" sunburst had let starlight and spike in, due to the fact that spike insisted, and because twilight sent them here."Heh, I know. Weird, right?"

"Uh, I don't understand. Did something happen to you after I left for magic school?" sunburst inquired.

"What? No! I-I don't see what that has to do with anything. W-Why would you even ask that?" the teacup she was pouring was now starting to overflow and spill. "I mean, did something happen to you after you left for magic school?"

Now it was sunburst's turn to get nervous. "What? Um, no. L-Like you said, I'm a, [clears throat] i-important wizard."

"I'm sure there's something on Twilight's list that can help here."
Spike said while taking a look at it.

Shining Armor was breathing heavily as the princesses arrived. "Okay. I chose the honor guard, picked the purity crystal, and I know exactly who I want to be our crystaller. So, all we need is..."

"The baby?" Cadance finished.

"We're here!" twilight, cyre, pinkie pie and flurry heart were just arriving, with the latter two in a
magic bubble.

"She's a really strong flyer!" pinkie commented. As cadance separated the two, flurry began to cry. VERY abnormally loudly. With a cracking sound, the crystal heart stopped spinning, and soon after, it shattered completely. Everypony gasped.

"I'm guessin' that's gonna make it harder to do the Crystalline." Applejack replied warily.

"It's worse than that. Without the Heart, the Crystal Empire's about to be buried under a mountain of ice and snow!" Twilight noted as storm clouds began to quickly surround the empire.

how will cyre and his new friends handle this new elemental threat to
the empire? Will the crystal heart get repaired? Find out next time, on Ponyball z!

Saving the Crystal Empire! The Power of the Crystal Heart!

"So... not only can we not take part in a fabulous ancient ceremony, but we're also about to be frozen solid!"

The mane 6, cyre, shining, flurry heart and the princesses were currently in the middle of a freakout. Flurry Heart, the baby of shining armor and princess cadance, had just had a temper tantrum, and in doing so, shattered the crystal heart.

"Without the Crystal Heart's magical protection, the entire city's about to become a winter wasteland!" Twilight exclaimed.

"But what about when King Sombra ruled the Crystal Empire and the Crystal Heart was missin'? The city wasn't covered in snow then!" Applejack inquired.

"The Heart wasn't missing. It was still in the castle. King Sombra had just hidden it."

"I'm afraid Twilight is correct, and the storm clouds are already forming." as Celestia and the others looked outside, they saw dark clouds and lightning headed their way. Rainbow, however, didn't waver.

"I can fly up there and bust those puppies! No problem!" just as she was about to leave, Celestia closed the curtains.

"I wouldn't advise it, Rainbow Dash. Those storm clouds are not like the ones you know."

"This far north, the weather has a will of its own, and now it will only grow stronger, enveloping everything in its path." Princess Luna stated.

"Including the Crystal Empire!" cadence added.

"And us along with it!" twilight added fearfully.

The dark clouds are getting closer to me
In every moment...
I'm so excited by this feeling
Even if it's dangerous.

(The title screen, Ponyball z: adventures in Equestria appears as the sun shines down. Cyre is then seen flying by with Rainbow Dash, Princess Luna, Princess Celestia, and Broly joining him. They all flare up their energy and take off, with Cyre soon following up after them with a huge smile on his face.)

OK! Bring it on right now!
I'm the strongest in the universe
All I do is show you my unlimited power
Go! Kamehameha!

(Shenron is being summoned in front of the main 6, their families, Ruby, Mita, and Cyre, who had huge smiles on their faces before Cyre transformed into super Saiyan.)

Get ready! Fight it out!
Fight it out 'till the end of world (Beat the Spirit Bomb!)

(Broly and Cyre are seen fighting furiously on screen before briefly disappearing, and reappearing as they punch each other in the jaw.)

Look around and you'll know that
You're not fighting by yourself Get ready!

(King Sombra and Queen Chrysalis appear first. And behind them, ponehendge appears, and in a flash, the pony of shadows appears.)

Fight it out!
Fight it out for the dream of world (Fusion, you, and me!)

(Broly is seen charging up his ki. Luna and Celestia are then seen performing the fusion dance before a flash of light appears and shows only a silhouette of their combined form.)

Let's gather the power of our friends!
Never gonna give up!

(Cyre is charging up his ki before a burst of energy flashes, showing Cyre as an SSJ3.)

Fight it out and do our best
To save our planet Earth
And I say, Go! Kamehameha!

(Cyre is showing fighting Queen Chrysalis as he shoots a Kamehameha at the changeling Queen.)

Fight it out! Wow!!
Fight it out! Yeah!!!!
Fight, fight it out!!!!!!

(The mane 6, Broly, Mita, Ruby, Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, and Cadance, along with Shining Armor and Starlight Glimmer, stood tall and smiled as Cyre stood in the center as an SSJ3.)

"There's gotta be somethin'..."
Meanwhile, starlight and Sunburst were still trying to rekindle their friendship but were having no luck doing so.

"I know Princess Twilight is keen on the two of us rekindling our friendship, but... it's been so long. I don't see how anything on that list is going to help." sunburst sadly admitted.

"I know, right? It's not like there's some spell that would magically compel us to pick up where we left off." starlight playfully said.

Sunburst then started pulling books from the shelfs and opened them. "Well, actually, there's several. Mistmane's Material Amity, Rockhoof's Rapport, Flash Prance's Fellow... ship... But I-I get the feeling the princess isn't looking for a spell."

"Definitely not." starlight chuckled.

"Got it!" spike exclaimed. He was covered head to toe in Twilight's scroll. "And if all else fails, ask them to share an embarrassing moment from their past, maybe even something they regret!" both starlight and sunburst grew nervous at that suggestion.

"Uh, I don't see how that would help." sunburst said rather hastily.

"Uh, yeah! We should just get out of your mane. It's pretty obvious this isn't going how Twilight hoped, and I'm sure you have plenty of important work to do..." starlight added.

"What? Oh! Right, yes, heh-heh! Uh, no rest for the wizardly."

"Come on, Spike." she grabbed him with her magic and left out the front door, with spike groaning while doing so.

The storm was now getting worse, evidenced by the fact that it was now blowing the curtains.twilight was growing more worried by the second. "There must be a spell that can restore the Crystal Heart!"

"Perhaps." Celestia said.

"But it isn't something that either of us knows," Luna added.

"The library here at the castle is nearly as extensive as the one in Canterlot. There's a good chance we can find something there!" cadance suggested.

"Can you hold off the storm?" Twilight asked the princesses.

"Yes, for a time, but even our magic will eventually succumb to the power of the Frozen North." Princess Luna said.

"Then I'll be there by their side to fight when they can't!" Cyre stepped up and he looked serious, much different then his normal happy go lucky attitude. They all looked at him like he was crazy.

"But how will you get to the clouds? You can't even fly!" in the time rainbow said that, Cyre was floating ten feet off the ground. Everypony looked at home in surprise, except for Fluttershy. She remembered that he told her he had a different method to fly. The royal sisters shook off the surprise and soon joined him the air.

"We will do what we can, but you must hurry." with that, all three of them took off to stall the storm clouds.

"I don't know how long it will take to find the right spell, but you should probably tell the crowd outside to get somewhere warm!" Twilight said.

"And try not to mention the Crystal Heart. We don't want to start a panic."Cadance added.

"Yes, ma'am. C'mon, girls!" Applejack, Fluttershy, and rainbow dash went outside to warn the crowd.

Twilight Sparkle then turned to who was left. "I'm gonna need all of your help. The crystal library is enormous!"

"You can count on us, Twily!" shining armor said confidently. Flurry had teleported out of shining armors hands and onto pinkie's face, who shrieked and threw her off. She was about to land in Shining Armor's hooves when she teleported again.

"Where'd she go?!" all of them then heard her giggling in the castle.

"This way!" with that, they all followed cadance to find flurry.

Cyre, Luna, and Celestia were now sitting in front of huge, snowy storm clouds. While the two princesses began to delay them, Cyre lifted his hand into the air, his aura flaring as he did so. Celestial and Luna were very confused by cyre's behaviour. "Uh, Cyre are you alri-" Luna was interrupted thoroughly by Cyre.

"ANNIHILATION ATTACK!!!!" from his hand, hundreds of blue beams shot out of his hand at high speeds, directed at the storm clouds. This was an attack he gained from buu. Well, super buu more specifically. He used it wipe out all life on earth when he was around.

The blast hit the clouds with huge explosions, with Luna and Celestia staring in fear and awe as the beams curved past them. It simply was beyond their understanding. How could he have this much power? It was overwhelming! And what feared the princesses most... They knew this was only a very small fraction of what he's capable of.

Cyre on the other hand, was firing shot after shot, and it was starting to take its toll on his energy. Cyre began to seriously wonder how buu did this with little to no effort. It was exhausting!

"Well, Spike, looks like my biggest fears came true. I wouldn't be surprised if Twilight decides to give up on me entirely." starlight were walking through town from sunburst house back to the castle.

"Aw, it's not your fault. I'm the one who said all we needed was this list." spike said before sending the scroll away with his fire.

"It's not the list, Spike. Or you. Or Twilight. I'mthe one Sunburst doesn't want to be friends with." starlight sadly said.

"I don't remember him saying he didn't want to be friends." Spike remarked.

"He didn't have to say it." starlight said with a sigh.

"Well, Twilight obviously thinks you're worth being friends with! And I do too!" spike retorted while giving her a hug.

"Thanks, Spike. At least I have two friends, even if one of them has dragon breath." spike exhaled, but he was positive it wasn't him. "Uh, that's not dragon breath. It's freezing!"

It was then when they started yo notice the snow falling. "Oh, you're right! But I thought the Crystal Heart was supposed to keep the cold weather out."

"It is... unless something's happened! Come on!" with that, they both began their run to the castle.

"We're just saying that it might not be the best idea to stay outside!" rainbow, Applejack, and fluttershy were trying to get the crystal ponies to move, to no success.

"I camped out all night for this spot! I'm not about to just give it up!" a crystal pony from the crowd said.

"Still, when you think about it, the view is just as good a little further back, like... inside your house?" Fluttershy said nervously. The crystal ponies continued to complain.

"The Crystalling ceremony is one of our most sacred traditions! And when that foal is held before the Crystal Heart, I plan to be as close to the action as possible!" another crystal pony said.

"Honestly, I don't know if there's gonna be a Crystallin'. The truth is, the baby's an Alicorn and her magic's plum crazy, so you might not wanna be that close after all." her words only improved the crowds resistance to move.

"A baby Alicorn? Wow, I can't wait to see that!"

"Oh, those little wings are probably so cute!

"I know, right?"

"Look, I am a hundred percent sure the Crystalling isn't happening." rainbow said. To her surprise, magic rays shoot out of the castle, and numerous blue beams were shooting in different direction.

"No Crystalling, huh? Then why are they starting the fireworks show?" the crystal ponies cheered as they saw the beams.

The others were in the library still searching for a spell to fix the heart. Meanwhile, Shining Armor Rarity and Pinkie Pie were having their hooves full trying to contain the baby, while Cadence and Twilight were searching for a book that could help.

"Young filly... come back here!"

"Come to your Auntie Pinkie Pie!"

Twilight searched multiple books with no luck. "Bridle Buck's Boat Chants,Hayhoof's Intonements,Mystic Maps and Mazes... Anything up there?"

"Not yet! I'm not even sure how these are organized!" princess cadance turned to see that flurry had teleported onto the shelf next to her. Reaching out to her cadance made a sorry attempt to capture flurry as she teleported away and flew off, with shining armor in hot pursuit.

"Shining Armor, I thought you were taking care of the baby!" cadance said with worry.

"I'm trying!" was his response. Just ahead of flurry was rarity, waiting with a net to catch her.

"Gotcha!" With a magic pop, flurry teleported behind her and continued her flight.
"Oh! Or not..."

It was at this point starlight walked in. "What is going on?!"

"You want the long or the short version?" Pinkie asked as she was being dragged by flurry.

"Short?"

Pinkie Pie quickly responded. "The baby's an Alicorn and she accidentally destroyed the Crystal Heart, so Twilight and Cadance are looking for a spell to put it back together and save the Crystal Empire from turning into a giant wasteland of ice and snow."

"Oh." Starlight said.

Princess Cadance gasped, as she might have found something. "What about this? Trotter's Tome of Reliquary?"

Twilight Sparkle took the book and flipped through the pages. "I think this is it!"

"Spell of Relic Reconstitution"! I can't believe we found it!" Cadance said with happiness.

"It's a good thing, too! Without this, I don't know what we'd do!" a few moments later the baby shot a laser right through the book, causing Twilight to gasp.

"Oops." Pinkie said.

"That spell was the only thing we found in the whole library that was even close to what we needed!" Twilight exclaimed.

"I'm so sorry, Twilight!" starlight quickly said.

"It's not your fault, Starlight. None of us were expecting any of this." cadance walked over to Twilight. "Do you think you can remember the spell?"

Twilight's face was full of worry."I only read it through once!"

"Well, if anypony can exactly remember something she read for the first time two minutes ago, it's you, Twilight." Rarity said with confidence.

Twilight Floated over a piece of paper and a quill "I'll try. But I'm not sure how long it'll take."

Pinkie Pie took a look outside to see the wind blowing fiercely. "Is quickly an option?"

"I'll help if I can, but we should evacuate the city just in case! You need to lead everypony to the train station before the tracks freeze over!" princess Cadance said.

Shining Armor, being a soldier, was prepared to rally every pony. "We will. But between you and Twilight, I'm sure you'll remember the spell." with that, they left.

"I only hope this spell is the one we need." twilight began to right down the spell from memory as Starlight walked over. "Is there anything I can do?"

Twilight shook her head in sorrow. "I don't think so. I'm just sorry about your lesson."

Starlight barely registered it."Oh, that doesn't matter now. Sunburst and I don't have anything in common anyway. He's a big important wizard! And I'm re-learning everything I ever thought I knew."

Princess Cadance put a hoof to her muzzle in thought. "Sunburst? I don't recognize the name, but if he's an important wizard, you should bring him here. Maybe he'll know what to do if the spell fails."

Starlight Gasped. "Of course!" she rushed off to sunburst's house in a quick gallop...

"You better go with her, Spike." With Spike now in hot pursuit, Twilight looked out the window to see the princesses get engulfed by the storm.

Starlight Glimmer and spike were arriving at sunburst's house, with starlight straining to close the door due to the snow blowing. "Sunburst! Haven't you looked outside?!"

Sunburst did so and finally saw the heavy snowfall. "Snow? That's... not right. The Crystal Heart—"

"Is gone!" starlight interrupted. "The baby – Shining Armor and Cadance's baby – it's an Alicorn!"

"Really?" he asked.

"Really! And her magic is a little berserk, and well, I guess she destroyed the Heart! But Twilight thinks she can fix it and Princess Cadance thought you could help!"

That made sunburst tense up. "Me?"

"Of course! You're an important wizard in the Crystal Empire! It just makes sense!" starlight said with happiness.

Sunburst began shuffling books around on his bookcase, although some of them were just the same books in a different position."Right... right... right right right. You know, I'd like to help, I-I really would. I-I just have so much, um, important wizard work to do around here." he held up a binder to prove a point, leaving starlight and spike confused. "Huh?!"

"You can't stay here!" applejack and the others were still trying to get them to move, but they still refused.

"Did I mention this was a Royal Crystalling? When the crystaller holds the young one aloft, all of the Empire will share their joy and light, and the Crystal Heart will beat stronger than it ever has before!" one crystal pony said with pride.

"It really is a moving ceremony!" another crystal pony said in tears.

"I really don't think it's going to happen." fluttershy said.

Rainbow dash was starting to chatter. "Come on, it's freezing out here!"

"Uh, this is the Crystal Empire. We've seen snow before." one pony said with a little sass.

"Not like this!" they all turned to see shining armor. "We don't have time to argue! Princess Cadance has decided to evacuate the city!" the crowd then gasped.

"But the Crystalling...!" they still refused but they were quickly put to rest with shining armor's next statement.

"I don't know if we'll ever have another Crystalling again! The Crystal Heart... is shattered." the crowd once again gasped and finally got the picture in their heads.

"It's not safe here!" one of them said.

"That's what we've been tryin' to tell you!" Applejack said with a groan.

Cyre Was still blasting the clouds, but his beams were starting to fail him as storm got stronger. And he was starting to feel his arm get tired as well. "Gotta... Keep... Firing... Blasts! Can't let... Empire... Turn into... A frozen... Wasteland!!!" Cyre spotted the princesses being engulfed. Even if they got out, they'd probably be to tired to help. It was him now, and him alone.

Starlight was still trying to convince sunburst to help. Sure, he had work to do, but this was WAY beyond that! The empire could be nothing but snow soon!

"Sunburst, I know you're busy, but did you hear what I said?"

"Oh, I heard you, but-but like I said, when you're an important wizard, the work just piles up." sunburst retorted.

Starlight was starting to get impatient."Sunburst!"

"Look, Starlight, I want to help. I do. But I can't. I wish I could." sunburst said with a sigh.

Starlight Glimmer was confused. "What do you mean?!"

Sunburst looked at her in fear and hesitancy. "Fixing an ancient relic? I-I can't even come close to doing something like that!"

"But I thought you were an important wizard!'

"Well, you were wrong, okay?! I'm not an important wizard! I'm not even a wizard at all!" he snapped and stormed off into the next room, leaving a dazed spike and starlight.

Sunburst was now sitting down in sadness. "I know it's hard for you to understand, but not all of us end up achieving greatness."

"What? Why wouldn't I understand that?" starlight asked.

Sunburst looked at her skeptical. Really? "You're the protégé of the Princess of Friendship! I don't think she picks just anypony for that!"

"Technically, she's more of a student than a protégé." spike said. But when he looked at the two, he decided it would be best to stay out of their way.

"Whatever. I'm sorry I'm not the big important wizard you were expecting."

"Sunburst, I don't care if you're a wizard or not. I'm just surprised. You always knew so much about magic. I mean, look at all these books!" starlight said while waving a hoof at some of the bookshelves.

"Yeah, well, reading about magic is one thing, but you don't know what it was like at magic school! To know so much and not be able to do any of it!" sunburst snapped.

"Well, you don't know what it was like to be left behind! And then getting so bitter that you steal the cutie marks from an entire village and then get defeated by Twilight and her friends, so you travel through time to get back at them, but they beat you again and teach you about friendship, but you're so terrified ponies will find out what you did that you can't make any friends!" starlight snapped back in tears. Sunburst's glasses almost slid off his muzzle when he heard that.

"Did you really travel through time?"
Sunburst said surprised.

Spike grinned. "See? I told you he'd be impressed."

"I'm sorry we lost touch. Maybe if I had reached out, you could have helped me at magic school, and I could have helped you to..." sunburst started.

"Not become totally evil?" starlight
finished with a sigh. "Let's just say I know what it's like to have something you're not exactly proud of."

"When you showed up thinking I was some big wizard... I'm sorry. I should have told you the truth." sunburst said with some regret.

Starlight Glimmer simply smiled. "It's fine. At least we worked it all out. I think Twilight would be proud of us."

"Well, if you ever want to tell her about it, we should probably leave now!" spike interrupted.

Starlight gasped in realization. "I forgot to tell you! They're evacuating the city! You need to get to the train station, unless you've got a spell here that will drive back the Frozen North and fix the Crystal Heart so the baby can have her Crystalling?" Sunburst thought a moment before realizing something

"Crystalling...! Of course!"

As the others were leading the crystal ponies to the station, Celestia and Luna had managed to get out of the clouds, but had ice all over their bodies, and were struggling to do anything against the storm. "Push them back, my sister!" were Celestia's words before being engulfed in the storm again.

The crystal ponies were panicking as shining armor led the way. "This way!"

Rainbow began busting clouds in their path, but she to eventually gained icicles on her body. "Ugh!" just as she was about to bust another one, a blue beam destroyed it. Rainbow began to wonder where they were coming from now. She turned to see the source was Cyre, who looked like he was straining. She was completely shocked. All those blasts she saw before were coming from him? That's incredibly awesome power! Eventually she snapped out of it and joined the others.

"Just a little bit further, y'all! The station's just ahead!" applejack shouted. Just as the were running, they ran into starlight and sunburst.

"We have to go back!" starlight shouted.

"I know how to stop this!" sunburst added.

Twilight was scribbling down the last few notes of the spell as Cadance looked it over. "Uh, I think that's everything?"

"It looks right to me, but... there's only one way to find out!" princess Cadance said. Using their magic, Cadance and twilight vegan to reform the heart... Only for it to blow back into shards a moment later.

"The spell failed. I don't know what else to do." twilight said in sadness.

The royal sisters and the others just then arrived. "An old student of mine believes he does."

Cyre could hardly feel his arm now. He could tell he was going to stop soon. But the he remembers what he said about a week prior...

I'll...I'll be fine here. I'll protect my friends from whatever comes their way. I promise.

Cyre's eyes narrowed, and his pupils shrank. He also began to grind his teeth. "I... WILL NOT... BREAK PROMISE!!! must... PROTECT... NEW FRIENDS!!!!! I... WILL NOT...FAIL!!!!!!!!!" With a huge shout, Cyre went super saiyan, and a huge burst of even faster golden beams rained down on the clouds. He made a promise, and to god Kami he would not break it!

"The baby did this?!" sunburst said in surprise.

"I tried putting it back together with—"

"The spell of Relic Reconstitution." sunburst finished. "No, that won't do it. The Crystal Heart's been around for millennia. Restoring a relic like this is way beyond one spell. You need to combine it with something else. Something unique to the relic itself. Something that strengthens it and provides it with power...?"

The realization hit them light a freight train. "The Crystalling!" twilight said.

"Combining that spell with the light and love of everypony gathered for the ceremony, together with... Somnambula's Weather Abjuration to clear away the snow... and a little Fledgling's Forbearance for the parents... Heh. That should curb the little one's power fluctuations." sunburst said as the baby giggled.

Princess Cadance smiled at him. "You must be Sunburst. Starlight said you were a powerful wizard."

"Oh, I'm no wizard." sunburst casually stated as applejack, pinkie pie and rarity gasped.

"What?" rainbow said.

"But he studied magic his whole life! You should see his house! And since nopony has any better ideas, what do we have to lose?!" starlight said with hope, and slight desperation.

"I had planned on asking Twilight to be our crystaller, but since it seems like she'll be busy..." shining armor turned to sunburst and handed sunburst the baby. "I'd be honored!" sunburst said with a smile. The others promptly ran outside.

"Well, what are we waiting for?!" twilight, starlight, and the royal sisters began to reform the heart with their combined magic. Back outside, shining armor and princess Cadance touched horns, and the baby was lifted into the air with a bright light surrounding her.

"Citizens! May I present the newest member of the Crystal Empire!" sunburst shouted as flurry continued to laugh. The crowd cheered, with some getting emotional.

"She's beautiful!" one pony said.

"Oh! It's just so moving!" another one said. The crystal ponies all started to bow as a blue light began to shine through the empire, representing the love for the baby and the crystalline. Using one of the crystals rarity brought, sunburst contained all the love into the crystal. He then ran back inside, and had jumped and inserted the crystal into the heart, which began to glow brightly. When it cleared, the heart was repaired, and with a flash, all of them turned into crystal ponies. With a bright flash of rainbow colors, the storm was repelled, and the snow in the city completely gone. The crystal ponies cheered in happiness.

"Best Crystalling ever!" one of them said.

"For a pony who isn't great at magic, you did pretty well." starlight said to sunburst.

"Indeed. I'm glad to see you've found a way to share your unique gift, Sunburst. You may be more of a wizard than you think." princess celestial said. Not was right about then when they all saw a huge golden light shining in the sky, which was now lowering towards the mane 6. once it landed, and their eyes adjusted, they all saw a crystallized Cyre, with golden hair, golden eyebrows, a golden tail, and teal eyes, with an aura flaring upwards around him. They all could also sense a huge amount of energy being radiated from Cyre. "What did I miss?" Cyre asked. They all just stared in awe and beauty at Cyre. "Uh, guys? You ok? Equestria to twilight..." Cyre said, waving his hand in front of her.he was bombarded with hugs from all angles by his friends.

Now that Rarity could see him clearly, she stared intently at the golden hair, saying that it was "The most gorgeous and bold fashion statement she had ever seen." As Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy continued their embrace with the saiyan, Rainbow Dash was fan-girling over his amazing hair style, and the massive power he displayed.

Back at the train station, twilight's parents had arrived. "You would not believe the crazy weather that delayed our train. Came out of nowhere." night light, who was twilight's father, said.

"But it was all worth it to see this peaceful little angel! Awww, so sweet! Come to your grandmare!" twilight velvet, who was twilight's mother, said as the baby giggled.

'Yeah, peaceful now, anyway." applejack said with a chuckle.

"I suppose that spell really did the trick!" twilight said. The baby was now beginning to inhale for a sneeze, causing the rest of them to tense, and Cyre to drop into fighting stance. She then sneezed... But nothing happened!

"We have Sunburst to thank for that." shining armor said very grateful sunburst fixed that.

"I hope he takes his role as crystaller seriously. Something tells me the baby will need a pony like him to look to for magical advice." princess Cadance said. She then turned to the saiyan. "And thank you, Cyre. We're all very grateful for what you did." cyre nodded with a smile and a blush while looking away.

Twilight Velvet smiled and spoke up. "Cadance, darling, aren't we gonna name the poor little dear, or are we gonna spend our entire visit just calling her "the baby"?"

"We were thinking... "Flurry Heart"." princess Cadance said.

'You know, to remember the occasion." shining added.

"Oh, goodness, how could anypony forget?" Rarity asked.

"I think it's lovely." twilight gave flurry a kiss as she giggled.

"Well, I think you're the Crystal Empire's big important wizard, whether you like it or not." starlight said to sunburst proudly.

Sunburst was a tad bit nervous, though. " I don't know if I'll have time for any wizarding. I'm a crystaller now. That's a big responsibility."

"I can't think of anypony more qualified. Just... promise you'll stay in touch?" starlight asked.

Sunburst chuckled. "Hm, like I'd ever lose touch with my oldest friend." they both gave each other a hug as twilight watched them from the train window.

Spike couldn't help but notice she was saddened. "What's wrong, Twilight?"

"I don't know, Spike. I think I have a lot to learn about being a teacher."

"What are you talking about? Your lesson went perfectly! Starlight and Sunburst got over their past and rekindled their friendship!" Spike said.

"No thanks to me. I know a lot happened. I just wish I could have given my pupil the attention she deserves." she said as starlight sat down on the train as it began to move.

"Well, I know she needed to be put on the right path, but giving her the space to make her own decisions worked pretty well. Isn't that how Celestia taught you?" spike added.

Twilight Sparkle instantly perked up. "You know, I never thought about it! But I guess it is!"

"Maybe you're a better teacher than you thought." spike said happily. It wasn't until now they noticed Cyre wasn't present. They both began to look around until somepony... Or rather, someone... Knocked on the glass. They saw Cyre flying next to the train. Starlight waved goodbye to sunburst as the train pulled out.

But as they left, an unknown creature was flying towards the empire....

Quest for the Dragonlord! Spike's Fiery Challenge!

Spike, Rarity, and Cyre were all standing in a mine, looking for crystals. Cyre was there because rarity asked him relatively to keep her and spike safe. Spike licked his lips at the basket as rarity levitated more gems into it.

Rarity spoke in a hushed tone to not wake the bats in the ceiling. "The last time I was here, I woke them and ended up with a mane full of bats! Thanks for being my basket holder, Spike."

"Basket holder? I thought I was your bodyguard." spike said, confused.

"Spike, I honestly think the "bodyguarding" was why she asked me to come," Cyre said. Spike just glared at Cyre in annoyance.

"Oh, for once, I wish unicorn magic wasn't so... luminescent!" after rarity said that, spike began to glow all over his body.

"Spike! You'll wake the bats! Turn that off!" rarity softly shouted.

"Ugh, I can't!" Spike groaned as he repeatedly scratched at his scales. Unfortunately, his actions caused the bats to wake up, causing Rarity to gasp as they swooped down at the trio.
