PonyballzKai: Adventures In Equestria (Redone)
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.

PonyballzKai: Adventures In Equestria (Redone)
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.

PonyballzKai: Adventures In Equestria (Redone)
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 stare on 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...

PonyballzKai: Adventures In Equestria (Redone)
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.

PonyballzKai: Adventures In Equestria (Redone)
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.
"And a 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."
"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!"
"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 all about 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."
"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, 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."
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
"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!

PonyballzKai: Adventures In Equestria (Redone)
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'..."
"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'm the 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.
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?"
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
"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....

PonyballzKai: Adventures In Equestria (Redone)
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.
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.)

(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.)
"I'm so glad you two could come!" twilight and the royal sisters were visiting twilight at her castle, since surprisingly, nopony needed their help at the moment.
"Of course. We so rarely get a chance to relax and just visit." Princess Luna said.
"There's usually some crisis we have to deal with. Somepony always needs our help. But today—" Celestia was interrupted by someone wailing toward them, it was Rarity, with Cyre right behind her. "Help!"
"Twilight! There's something wrong with Spike!" she brought spike over with her magic and showed the glowing dragon to them.
"What's wrong?" Twilight asked.
"I don't know! Nngh! All of a sudden, my scales just started glowing and... burning!" spike said grunting and scratching through.
"Little is known about dragon culture, but this is a phenomenon we've seen before. It is the call of the Dragon Lord." princess Luna stated with a hoof in the air.
"Why do you always do that, sister?" Celestia asked.
"Do what dear sister?" Luna responded.
"This. You look like this when you talk." Celestia said while raising a hoof in the air.
"I do not make such an expression," Luna said while doing the same hoof movement.
"See? You did it again!" Celestia exclaimed.
"How else am I supposed to address a serious matter at hoof? It's how it's done!" Luna argued.
"Yes, a thousand years ago. Remember the royal canterlot voice? I told you we don't do that anymore, but noooooo , you never listen !" Celestia argued back. Cyre, rarity, twilight, and spike just watched the conversation, looking at whoever was speaking.
"Oh, there we go again, with the thousand years..." Luna said glum.
"Girls! You can squabble later! Can we just get back to Spike and his issue?" Cyre asked.
Princess Celestia looked at Cyre embarrassed. "Sorry, you all had to see that. Anyway, Dragons glow whenever the Dragon Lord requires them in the Dragon Lands.
"Great... H-How do I make it stop?!" Spike asked.
"The only way to end the summons is to answer it. You must journey to the Dragon Lands and see what is expected of you." Luna said while eyeing Cyre on occasion.
"B-B-But the Dragon Lands are full of... dragons! And they're ghastly creatures! Oh, oh, not you, of course, Spikey-wikey. But remember that rotten Garble?"
Spike gulped. "How could I forget? He would have burnt us to a crisp if you weren't there. If I have to go to the Dragon Lands, would you two come with me?"
Twilight Sparkle began to grow excited. "Ooh! Oh my goodness, I'd love to! We are sadly lacking any information on dragon culture and customs. I could research them – maybe even write an article! This could be my chance to make a great contribution to the knowledge of Equestria!" she looked around and saw she was receiving glares from everypony. "And be there for Spike, heh, of course," Twilight said nervously.
"Count me in too! I want to see these dragons! I wouldn't be shocked if they acted like Saiyans, honestly." Cyre said with excitement etched into his voice.
"Be very careful. The Dragon Lands are particularly dangerous for ponies. It would be wise to be discreet."
"Ha! I'm the strongest in the universe, I don't hide from anything!" he then received glares just as harsh as twilight was given. " and stop glaring, it doesn't work on me!"
Rarity was the first to speak. "Ooh! I'm sure I still have the dragon costume we used the last time we snuck into the Dragon Lands!"
"I think we might want something a little more practical this time," Twilight stated. Cyre followed them as they prepared to leave, but Luna stopped him. "Cyre, I'm just gonna put this out there, I think you're adorable," Luna said with a blush.
Cyre blushed even harder than Luna. "Well, uh my moms always said I was a cute kid."
"Hm, a mommas boy, huh? I'll be your mommy~" Luna said.
Cyre's reaction:
"You ready to go, Cyre?" Twilight asked.
"yes! Yes, I am!!!" Cyre said with a strained smile, with sweat running down his forehead.
Cyre, twilight, rarity, and spike were now in the dragon lands with Cyre plain out in the open not caring, while Twilight and rarity were watching through slits in a rock outfit that spike was sitting on.
"Hmmm... Well, it may be practical, but this disguise isn't flattering in the slightest!" rarity said flatly.
"It's not supposed to be flattering . It's supposed to blend in!" both Cyre and Twilight said as spike shushed them.
"Hey-hey, look! It's our old friend Sparkle-warkle ." spike knew that voice all too well and was annoyed. Already. He turned to see garble walking towards him. "It's Spike."
"Are you sure your pony friends didn't give you a pony name?" garble asked with sparkles in his eyes.
"It's nice to see you too, Garble ." spike grimaced with venom in his voice.
"I didn't say it was nice to see you. It's not. I don't like you. Was I not clear about that?" with that, garble pushed spike off the fake rock and sat on it, causing twilight and rarity to grunt. "Hey! That's my rock!"
"Oh, really? Then why aren't you sitting on it?" garbled teased as teenage dragons laughed along with him.
Cyre laughed to himself as he watched the scene. 'Yep, just like Saiyans.' he thought. He then noticed the area get darker and looked to see a huge dragon with a dark vest on, a huge set of wings, a golden ring on one of its large horns, and a crystal crown with red crystals on it, as everyone else looked as well. It also appeared to be sitting on a throne.
"Dragons of Equestria, hear me! I have been Dragon Lord for longer than many of you can remember, and my reign has been extraordinary! Agree with me! " he shouted. In response, all the dragons shouted his name. "Torch! Torch! Torch! Torch!"
"Who is that ?" Spike asked.
Garble "It's Dragon Lord Torch, dummy." garble responded.
"No, next to him." spike was pointing to a much smaller blue dragon next to Torch.
"That's his daughter, Princess Ember. I wouldn't even look at her if I were you unless you want Torch to eat you!" spike gulped.
"This is fascinating! Dragons are notoriously reckless, but they do whatever the Dragon Lord says!"
"Competing in a tournament essentially... Oh, now that is awesome!" unfortunately for Cyre, that attracted the attention of every single dragon there.
The others all stared at the stranger curiously, he was nothing like they had ever seen before. "Who are you, his babysitter?" One dragon joked as the others soon started laughing.
Cyre rolled his eyes. "I'm Cyre, the most powerful being in the universe." He grinned, making them stop laughing... for only a second. After that brief moment, they continued.
"Yeah right, I'll bet you're just a pony in a... a... some kind of a... monkey costume!" Fume accused, and the other dragons quickly agreed with him.
A smirk came onto the Saiyan's face. "Oh I'm not a pony, and you're about to find out why." His fists clenched as he slowly built up his ki. What started as a low growl quickly escalated into a deafening yell. The entire mountain began trembling as he unleashed his power, and a white aura came to life as he did so. Every nearby dragon turned their attention towards the Saiyan, but they were quickly blown away by strong gusts of wind. Any rocks that were nearby shot into the air.
Spike stared on wide-eyed, this was the first time he had seen his friend power up before. He had only heard about it from Rainbow Dash. To say this was cool would have been a big understatement.
Cyre continued to power up until he noticed the expressions on the faces of the drakes, he then slowly stopped. As soon as the rumbling and the gales ceased, along with the rocks stopping in mid-air and falling back to the ground, he grinned.
"Wow..." The dragons muttered. They had never seen a pony do that before.
"Still think I'm a pony?"
They shook their heads no and then walked up to the Saiyan warrior. "I gotta admit, that was cool." Everyone else nodded and gave
It seemed to him that he had earned the respect of the scaly beasts, not that he cared. Spike was the one who needed their respect.
The dragon lord and his daughter watched on with a mix of emotions. Torch being angry and confused, and ember being intrigued. How did a monkey creature like that gain so much power? The princess made a note to talk to this "Cyre" later.
Garble, however, was not impressed. "So you shook the mountain a little. Is that supposed to impress me?"
Cyre smirked and flew right in front of his face and booped him on the nose, surprising every dragon even further. "If you really think I'm nothing compared to you, then shoot your strongest attack at me."
Garble smirked and shot a huge fireball at him, which Cyre stopped with a single finger, and sent it flying upwards, which made him instantly pale.
"My turn." with that Cyre disappeared. All of them started to search. Where could he have gone? The answer came rather quickly for garble as he found the Saiyan's fist in his gut, wearing him like a glove, which made him spit up blood and just sit there.
All the while, Cyre kept on fisting his stomach, much to garble's annoyance. "St-stop fisting me!" he demanded. Cyre only smirked at that.
"Okay." he suddenly pulled out his entire arm, making garble hold his stomach even more tightly.
"Ow! All at once! Ow... Can I... Just... Have a minute, please?" garble asked.
"Shoryuken," Cyre said with a devilish smile.
"I can't believe I'm saying this but thank you. I honestly didn't think that you would—" he was interrupted by Cyre uppercutting him into the air, where Cyre grabbed his tail and swung him around.
"C-c-c-combo!" he said as he threw him hard into the ground. Once he saw the crater, garble was lying in it, knocked out completely. "Anyone else?" no pony nor dragon said a thing, not even the dragon lord. "Didn't think so. Now, what was it you were saying before?" Cyre asked while staring at Torch.
Torch tried to regain his composure from seeing the Saiyan do what he did best, and luckily he managed. "Well, uh... Unfortunately, according to dragon law, it is time for me to step down. Sad, I know."
"Be sad! " all of them started to cry.
"This is why I have summoned you – to compete for the throne in the Gauntlet of Fire!" all of the dragons cheered at the prospect.
"Whoever has the strength and fortitude to retrieve this bloodstone scepter from the heart of the flame-can will be crowned Lord of the Dragons!" he flicked the bloodstone scepter into the volcano causing an explosion wave that stopped the dragons from glowing.
"When the scepter disappeared, the dragons stopped glowing! We are learning so much!" twilight said hushed, but excitedly.
Rarity had then sneezed, with spike taking the blame quickly to save their skins. "Uh, excuse me!"
Garble just groaned as he got up limping toward them, due to the beating he just received from the all-powerful Saiyan. "Ugh, you even sneeze like a pony!" a stern glare from Cyre quickly silenced garble, and it made the dragon's blood run colder than normal.
"The Gauntlet is dangerous, for I designed it myself! Only dragons with my ferocity, strength, and determination will be able to finish. We will gather at the cliff when the sun is at its peak!" the dragons once again cheered at this.
"I don't want to be Dragon Lord or dragon toast, and I stopped glowing, so let's sneak out of here!" unfortunately, pike was caught trying to leave by torch.
"Ah! Where do you think you're going, little dragon?!"
"Oh, uh, hi, your Lordship. Uh, I was just going home!" spike said nervously.
"You don't get to leave unless I say you can!" torch shouted. His daughter ember quickly flew down and vouched for him.
"Dad, look at him. He's just a runt. Besides, he doesn't even want to compete. Let him go." ember said while eyeing the Saiyan, who was staring curiously right back at her, but quickly looked in another direction.
"He is rather tiny, heh-heh. I could squish him with my pinky claw." he chuckled as spike did the same, but nervously.
"That wasn't a joke. It was a fact." torch said flatly. "When I want you to laugh, I will say "be amused! " he shouted.
"Of course, your Lordship! I, uh, guess I don't understand dragon customs. Another reason why I shouldn't compete." spike added.
Torch sighed. "Hm. Very well then, little dragon. I release you."
"Thank you!" spike said to Torch. "And thank you ." spike said to Ember as she flew away, only to be caught by her father.
"Where do you think you're going?" he asked.
"To prepare for the Gauntlet," she said simply.
"No, you're not. You're not much bigger than that runt I just sent home!" torch shouted.
Ember argued. "But I'm smarter than most of these boulder heads and you know it!"
"Being smart won't help you win this Gauntlet! It was designed for a big, strong dragon to win because it takes a big, strong dragon to lead! Besides, I said no! " this time, he shouted loud enough that it sent ember flying backward.
Ember growled at her father. "I hate when he does that!" the dragons began to conversate about what they would do with the position of the dragon lord.
"Ha. When I become Dragon Lord, I will make burps an official greeting!" one dragon said.
"Ha, you? Please! When I win, I will pillage Equestria for all their pillows. Why should these ponies be comfortable while we sleep on rocks?" another dragon said.
"That's nothing! When I'm in charge, the first thing I'll do is get revenge on those puny ponies! And especially that monkey friend of theirs! They'll regret they ever crossed Garble! We'll take whatever we want from Equestria and burn the rest!" garble and the others could hear Cyre laughing loudly in the distance, making garble growl more.
"Oh, my gosh!" Twilight said.
"Ooh, I can't believe I'm saying this, but I hope that burping dragon wins!" Rarity said.
"None of them can win! Equestria's in big trouble if any of them are in charge!"
"In all seriousness, not really. You have me, remember? Although I'd rather not commit a mass genocide of an entire species..." Cyre said.
"But what can we do?" Twilight asked.
"There's only one thing to do, and only I can do it! I have to win the Gauntlet of Fire!"
"Oh..." twilight and Rarity said.
"What do you mean you have to win the Gauntlet?" Rarity said.
"It's the only way to protect Equestria from the dragons. You heard them! They have horrible plans for ponies if they win! So somehow, I have to do it!"
"There has to be another way. It's too dangerous. Besides, if you win, you'd have to stay here!' twilight said.
"I know, but there's no other way to keep my friends safe." spike.
"Well, if you're staying to compete, then we're staying to cheer you on!" Twilight said.
"And I'll be at your side through this spike. Know that you're never alone." Cyre said confidently.
All of them were now on a cliff, where they would soon depart on their mission for the scepter.
"I thought I released you, tiny one!" torch said to spike.
"I decided to compete. I am a dragon, after all."
"Are you sure? You can't even fly!" garble laughed along with the other dragons.
Cyre growled and facepalmed. 'spike, you better know what you're getting into!' he thought as Torch addressed the gathered crowd.
"All dragons are welcome to compete, but they do so at their own peril! Flying to Flame-cano Island is the first of many challenges you will face in your quest to find the bloodstone scepter!" torch said as he roared, the dragons leaving the cliff to fly to the flame-cano.
"Good luck! Just kidding. I hope you lose." garbled then smacked spike into the water with his tail, and was promptly being chocked by cyre's hand, gagging as well.
Cyre was glaring up at him, and his face said it all. With that, garble nodded in understanding, and Cyre threw him into the air like a rag doll, and kicked his sorry ass into the sky. He then began to flying to the volcano in a huff, not caring about his friends for a moment. 'That garble really gets on my damn nerves...'
Spike landed in the water with a splash. "Thanks, Garble! I was planning on swimming anyway!" he said sarcastically, as rarity and twilight swam over in a seaweed costume.
"You can do it, Spike!" Rarity exclaimed. Out of nowhere, giant sea worms shot out of the water and began spraying the dragons and the saiyan. Cyre had no problem dodging them at all. 'Phew! thanks piccolo, I have you to thank for that! I also have a small fear for the word "dodge" to though... Ah, who cares?' Cyre thought. Garble, who was still dizzy from the chocking session, got blasted back by water and bumped into another dragon, who got knocked out and landed in the water.
"He's gonna drown!" Spike quickly dived down after the dragon, much to twilight's and rarity's surprise. "Spike!"
Spike then resurfaced with the dragon in his grasps.
"Hey, are you okay?" Spike and the others arrived at the beach, and had brought the soon-to-be known Dragon. They took off the helmet, and to their surprise, they saw a coughing princess Ember.
"What do you think you're doing?" She asked.
"Only saving your ungrateful scales!" Rarity said.
Princess Ember looked at the seaweed pile suspiciously. "Did that seaweed just talk?" She removed it and saw both twilight and rarity. "Ponies?! What are they doing here?!"
"They're my friends!" Spike said with a smile.
"Friends? Dragons don't do friends." Ember said simply.
"Well, this dragon does." Spike admitted.
"Whatever. I don't care as long as none of you get in my way. I have a Gauntlet to win." She took the helmet and was preparing to leave, but spike stopped her.
"But I thought your dad said that—"
"I don't care what my dad said! I'll show him and every dragon who thinks I'm just a little princess there are better things than being big and strong!" Ember interrupted.
Just then, garble had been shot down by a rock thrown by a slingtail, and ended up on the beach, where spike and the others were. Rarity and twilight barely had enough time to put on their disguise before he looked at them. "Don't leave me here, Spike!"
"I'd honestly just leave his ass there. I can't be the only one who wants that..." Cyre said as he was looking at the comments section of the clip of this episode on youtube.
Spike strained to push the rock out of the way, only to get laughed at by garbled once more. "Ha-ha! Knew you'd do it. Your pony friends made you soft."
Spike just glared at him. "Uh-huh. You're welcome."
"For what? I didn't say thank you." garble then started to sniff around them. "Wow, you even smell like ponies. Or is it coming from over there?" he was right about to find them as ember stepped in front of them...
"Uh, that's just me. I, uh, robbed some ponies on my way over here." she said in a gruff voice.
Garble was surprised, then impressed. "Huh, I like your style. Have I met you before? You kind of look like—"
"My, uh, old neighbor! Uh, Sandy... Rockbeach!" spike interrupted hastily.
"Stupid slingtails knocked me down! But I've wasted enough time making small talk. Get it? Ha-ha! Because you're too small to win this! I'm funny." garble then flew back into the sky.
Princess Ember looked at spike confused. "Why did you cover for me? You could've had one less competitor."
"I could ask you the same thing. You could've told Garble about my friends." spike said.
They both looked and saw all the dragons being shot down by boulders.
Princess Ember winced. "Yikes... That looks rough. But that's what makes it a challenge."
"Are you kidding? Those boulders are huge! Hey, what if we worked together? You fly me up there, and I'll help look out for boulders, like a second set of eyes!" spike suggested.
"Pssst!" spike walked over to the seaweed, but when he touched it, it flumped down completely. He then saw rarity in a different costume, waving at him with a branch.
"Spike! Are you sure it's a good idea to team up with Ember? You don't know her too well." rarity argued.
"I do know she could've told Garble about you, but she didn't. I think we can trust her." spike said.
Twilight Sparkle popped out of the costume reading her book and spoke up. "Her behavior does seem contradictory to everything I've noted about dragons so far."
"Hey, you, little fella! I've thought about it, and your plan makes sense. Let's do it." princess ember said.
"Really?" spike said in surprise. "Great! It's a deal!"
"Just so you know, this doesn't mean we're gonna pick flowers or exchange necklaces or whatever pony friends do." princess ember stated while putting on the helmet.
"Good luck. We'll meet you at the top." twilight said.
"And I'll be nearby... Hopefully." Cyre said as he floated into the air.
Princess ember was now flying through the air with spike on her back as the other dragons were being shot down, and while Cyre was expertly jumping from rock to rock like a boss with little effort.
"Pull up! There's one on your tail!" spike said as a rock was flying towards them from the rear. Ember yelped as she dodged the rock.
"Go left!" spike said as ember dodged another. Soon enough the three of them arrived at the tunnel entrance.
"So what do we do now?" spike asked.
"I think we go through there." Ember said pointing to the tunnel.
"Yeah, well let's be careful. We don't have any idea what's—" a roar of flame interrupted his sentence as a few smoky dragons came out of the cave. "— in there." Cyre said.
Rarity yelped as she and twilight somehow reached them. "Oh, that looks scary! I mean, you can do it!"
"Listen, Spike. I wouldn't have made it this far without you. So I guess, if you want to, we could keep working together. I mean, just until we get through that tunnel." Ember suggested.
"Okay!" agreed spike.
"We'll be right behind you!" twilight said hushed.
Throughout the tunnel, they encountered many hazards, ranging from clamping stalagmites and stalactites, to crystals shooting out of walls, all of which cyre enjoyed immensely. Soon enough they reached the end of the tunnel, where twilight and rarity were again there before cyre. It was really starting to annoy him. How are they doing that?
"Oh, you made it! Oh, we were so worried!"
Spike scoffed at them. "About us? That tunnel was cake!"
"Wait. How did you two get through?" Ember asked.
"Seriously though, how do you guys get through all that before me? It doesn't make sense!" Cyre exclaimed. The volcano then began to rumble, and rarity was about to fall off, before spike quickly pulled her back onto the floor. "Oh, thanks, Spike!"
Spike sighed and said It was nothing.
"Nothing? You just risked everything to save her! And they're putting themselves in danger just to support you!" Ember said.
"Well, that's just what friends do. Don't you have anyone who looks out for you?" spike asked.
Ember shook her head no. "Not really. Unless I count you. Which I don't! Because we were only helping each other get through the tunnel, and now we're through the tunnel, so that's it."
Spike visually saddened. "Wait, what do you mean?"
"Well, there's only one winner one scepter, and one Dragon Lord. So I guess it's every dragon for themselves." Ember said.
"Oh. So we aren't really friends?" spike asked, not wanting to hear the answer.
"Maybe if we were in Ponyland, but like I said, dragons don't do friendship." with that, she left spike, Cyre and the ponies behind making spike very sad. Cyre walked up to him and kneeled down. Cyre was genuinely sad as well, he also wanted to be friends with ember. With that, they began to walk to the scepter.
"I can't believe Ember ditched me." spike said.
Cyre's hand clenched. "I know spike, but we can't worry about it now. Remember, we're here for a reason."
" Besides, you're better off. She was only looking out for herself. She's just like all the other dragons." rarity said, much to cyre's and Spike's chagrin.
"She's not, though. I know it. She saved me, even when she didn't have to. I don't care what she says. That makes us friends." spike said.
"Is it just me, or have we seen this crevasse three times already?" twilight asked.
"It's kinda hard to tell. They all look the same. Except for this one!" they walked in and saw the scepter sitting there. "Look! We made it! I can't believe I'm the only dragon to make it this far!"
"You're not! And I'm not losing to a puny pony-loving dragon like you!" Before garble could move in on spike, Cyre was in front of him with his hands in front of his face.
"Take this, you pathetic excuse of a dragon! Spike, twilight, rarity! Cover your eyes! SOLAR FLARE!!!!!!!" Cyre shouted as a light brighter than a thousand suns flashed. Luckily for the others, they did as instructed and kept their eyes shut.
Unfortunately for garble, he took the blast at essentially point blank range. With his eyes open. Once it dissipated,he was holding his eyes intensely.
"Augh, my eyes! It's like I looked at torch taking a bubble bath! With his daughter! Naked! Wait a minute! He's always naked! And so is Ember! Augh!" garble exclaimed. Right after that he was tackled down by another dragon, to their surprise, Ember.
"Ember! I thought it was every dragon for themselves! Why are you helping me?!" spike asked surprised.
"That's what friends do! And I am. I mean, we are. I never should have left you back there. Agh, please don't make me talk about my feelings!"
Garble's vision had now cleared up, and he was now absolutely livid. Even more so when he saw ember holding him down."What the?!"
"Spike! Get the scepter!"Ember grunted.
Spike ran to get it as ember and garble wrestled.
"I'm sick and tired of you two helping each other! Dragons don't do helping!" garble shouted.
"These dragons do!" Ember said. Cyre heard more dragons incoming. "Spike, any day now!" he shouted.
Spike had quickly climbed up and grabbed the scepter, as he felt the power flowing into him. "Whoa..."
A huge magic explosion followed, and just as garble was about to go get the scepter spike shouted out to him. "Leave her alone! "
Garble looked up and was mortified to see spike holding the scepter. "What? You?! You have the scepter?! But that means that you're..."
"The Dragon Lord. Dragon Lord Spike." Ember finished as she, and the rest of the dragons, bowed to him.
Garble groaned and reluctantly bowed as well. "Dragon... Lord... Spike..." garble muttered.
Spike nodded. "That's right! Uh... Now, go start your long journey home. And give everycreature you see on the way a hug. Don't tell them why."
Garble whined, and it made Cyre grin. A very self satisfied smug grin....
"Awww! But that'll be super embarrassing!" garble complained.
"I command you to do it!" spike demanded while smiling.
Garble groaned as he went to hug everyone in the room, including cyre, who looked at him like he was crazy.
"I can't believe this..." garble said while doing so.
Whlie Cyre was having his mini freak out, Ember walked over to spike. "Dragon Lord Spike. Hm, has a nice ring to it."
"Dragon Lord Ember sounds a lot better." spike said while handing her the scepter.
"What? No. You're the Dragon Lord now." ember said.
"The Dragon Lord is whoever brings the scepter back to your father! Besides, you'll make a great leader. I was just doing this to protect the ponies. But I know you'll protect them just as well as I would have." spike said confidently.
"You sure about this?" she asked.
"Absolutely. My home is in Equestria with my friends." spike responded.
"Well, you'll have at least one friend here too." spike then gave her a hug, much to ember's confusion, and cyre's amusement. "What are you doing?"
"It's called a hug!" spike responded.
Princess Ember was conflicted on this. "Oh. I don't know if I like it. But... okay." just then, Cyre walked over.
"Well, everything worked out in the end. Now then ember, I can finally introduce myself. Name's Cyre!" Ember and cyre shook hands while smiling at each other.
"Awww!" Twilight said while she watched. Rarity simply giggled.
All the dragons were returning as ember flew over to her father, scepter in claw. "Ember? You?!"
"I know you didn't think I could do it, but I did," Ember said.
"I expressly told you not to do it, because you're not—!"
"I'm not big and strong. I know." Ember interrupted. "But you know what? I won anyway. So maybe it takes more than just being big and strong to be a good Dragon Lord!"
Dragon Lord Torch sighed. "I was wrong, Ember. You might not be big, but you are strong and smart, and perhaps that counts for more than I thought. And you will make an excellent leader."
"Thanks, dad. Agree with him! " she shouted to the dragons, who were conflicted. "Just kidding! That's not gonna be my thing."
Torch laughed along with her daughter. "Dragons, hear me! I present to you our new Dragon Lord, Ember!"
The dragons all cheered as garble hugged torch on the nose. "Hm? What is the meaning of this?!"
"I can't tell you!" garble shouted as Ember laughed.
Twilight Sparkle and the others were walking back to Ponyville. "You did well, Spike. With Ember as Dragon Lord, the ponies will be safe and you've gained us a powerful ally."
"And a new friend!" spike added.
"Plus, Ember said I could write to her anytime I had questions about dragon culture! With this much information, I'll be able to write a whole book on dragons!"
"And I gained tons of ideas for a new line of camouflage clothing! I think I'll call it "Camo-Maud"!" Rarity said.
"Is there ever a time where you can't think up a good clothing line? Cyre said, genuinely curious about that.
Rarity, Twilight and Spike all laughed, with Cyre joining them after a few seconds.

PonyballzKai: Adventures In Equestria (Redone)
A Second Chance! Starlight and Trixie’s Troubled Friendship!
Twilight and starlight were preparing the table for the dinner party with celestia tomorrow night. "First lesson of the day, we very carefully set the table without using magic, so that— Yikes!" she barely avoided the maelstrom of plates, knives and so forth being set on the table by starlight, who was smiling.
"Did you...?! How? When? What?! " twilight asked incredulously.
"What?" starlight asked.
"I said no magic. You were supposed to do it by hoof so I could work in a friendship lesson." twilight explained.
"Oh, I heard "set the table" and just kinda went for it." starlight said.
Twilight Sparkle quickly tried to salvage it, and was doing a very bad job of it. "Well, if you hadn't used magic, you'd have heard me say, uh... this plate represents your head, this spoon is your heart, and the knives... are sharp! Always be careful with knives." twilight then sighed. "The metaphors make more sense when you're actually setting the table."
"Should I... change it back?" starlight questioned.
"I just want to make sure you're ready for this dinner. Princess Celestia will be joining us tomorrow night to see how the friendship lessons are going!" twilight exclaimed.
"If it's just you, me, and Princess Celestia, why are there four seats?" starlight asked slightly confused.
"Well, the whole point is for you to bring a new friend. That way, the princess will see for herself just how far you've come. And how good a teacher you have." twilight said with a smile adorning her muzzle.
"Well, I can't choose. I like all your friends."
"That's the best part! You have to make a new friend!" twilight shouted.
"New friends? Hey, maybe I'll just force friendships by magically enslaving the entire population of Ponyville!" starlight joked.
Twilight Sparkle however, didn't find it very funny. "Starlight!"
"Kidding!" starlight said as she laughed nervously.
Before anything else happened, somepony knocked on the doors of the castle. Both starlight and twilight answered it to see Cyre... With a smiling and panting Manticore sitting on it's on its rear nuzzling him. The two mares just gawked at him.
"Hey guys! I just wanted you to meet my new pet Manticore, Nala! I found her in the forest being attacked by timber wolves about three days ago, boy were there a lot of those things! After I finished them all, I went to her and got out all her splinters, then used a little healing magic, and she was good as new! I told her I wanted to help her get out of that nasty situation through my mind. She really likes me. Even after I left, she followed me back to my capsule ship. And she's pretty playful to!" Cyre was then licked by the Manticore in question. "Nala, stop it! Please!" both mares couldn't deny that it was slightly cute.
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.)
After getting over the fact that cyre essentially adopted a manticore from Everfree forest, she embarked on her mission to make a new friend.
"Let's see. Make new friends in Ponyville, the friendliest place in Equestria. Shouldn't be hard..."
Pinkie Pie then showed up from nowhere. "Need to make a new friend, huh? I know just the pony for you!"
Pinkie Pie and starlight were now at sugarcube corner. "Miss Starlight Glimmer, meet Mrs. Cake!"
Ms. Cake was putting icing on an actual cake when she looked up to greet them. "How are you, dearie?"
"Are you baking? Can I help?" she then started grabbing materials and the finished product was a three tier cake with extravagant sparkle and glimmer designs.
"Wow, Mrs. Cake! Look what your new friend made you!" pinkie said.
Mrs. Cake chuckled. "New friend. I like the sound of– " she took one look at the cake and she gasped. "Howza-wowza! A-Are you trying to put me out of business with your fancy magical-thingy-whatsit cake?!"
Starlight deactivated her magic, which unfortunately brought the cake falling down right on ms. Cake. "Sorry..." starlight said nervously.
"In her defense, it is delicious! " pinkie chomped away at the cake as ms. Cake glared at starlight and pinkie.
Starlight's mission had now brought her over to sweet apple acres. "I think I have just the pony for you, Starlight. Meet Big Mac!" applejack said.
"Eeyup!"
"He's not much of a talker." applejack responded.
"Nnope." was big mac's reponse.
"Oh, that's too bad. I love a good conversation." starlight inquired. She then realized something and used her magic on big mac, which was sent directly into his mouth.
Big McIntosh was now starting to speak uncontrollably. "Eeyup-yup-yup-yup-yup-yup-yup-yup-y-y-y-y-you did something! Whoa! What's happening? I feel really weird! I'm talkin' so much! And I'm so articulate! Enunciating with such precise pronunciation!" he tried to shut his mouth there, but it was futile. "Annie Apple awoke and accidentally ate an auburn azalea! " with a scream he ran away. "Make it stop! " applejack promptly began to growl at her.
"I can't be friends with somepony who doesn't talk." starlight retorted.
That only made applejack growl more.
"...And I guess my first instinct shouldn't be to magically command ponies to act the way I want them to?"
Applejack was now in her face growling.
"Alright, I'll change him back!" starlight said while walking to find big mac.
Her next shot at making a new friend took her to rarity, and the carousel boutique. "The trick to finding a new friend is to render yourself radiant. First impressions count a great deal, you know."
"I'm glad you all got past my first impression." starlight added.
"Well, everypony deserves a second chance. Ooh! Now, I have a top-notch idea. I'm thinking pastel silk here and here with a crinoline underneath." rarity said while measuring starlight.
"You really think a new outfit will help me meet ponies?" starlight questioned. She had to admit, she was a little skeptical of this.
"Oh, with the right outfit, you can do anything , darling!" rarity said while wearing an elegant dress.
Starlight Glimmer smiled. "When will it be ready?"
"Three weeks." rarity said.
"Dinner's tomorrow." starlight said hesitant.
"Well then, how about a hat from the... clearance bin?" rarity said while clearing her throat.
Starlight attempted to try on a hat, but her horn tore right through it. "Ugh! Maybe not."
Starlight went to rainbow mane next. "Heh. Nopony's gonna make friends with you because of your outfit . The only thing you want a new friend draped in is coolness ."
"Like you and Cyre?"
"Yeah, but you already know me and that saiyan guy, so..." she gasped. "Spitfire! Heh. Sorry." she said while actually spitting on starlight.
"Who's that?"
Rainbow gaspsed "Only the Wonderbolt-iest pony in the Wonderbolts! Come on, I'll introduce you!" she took of relatively quickly, causing a sonic boom. Once she didn't see starlight following her, she flew back. "You coming or what?"
"I guess my first question would be, "What's a Wonderbolt?" she asked.
Rainbow Dash gasped and gave us a glorious meme face.
"You've never heard of the Wonderbolts?! Where have you been ?!" rainbow asked incredously.
"Enslaving villages, I guess..." starlight responded nervously.
"Right." rainbow said while floating down.
Starlight Glimmer went to fluttershy and her animal friends, but she didn't think they would work to well. She was currently petting angel on the belly. "You're adorable, but probably not what Twilight had in mind." once she left, angle began to look at her dreamily as the shy mare returned with a carrot for angle, who didn't even notice. With that, fluttershy sighed in sadness.
Starlight Glimmer was now sitting on a bench groaning. "What is going on? This is Ponyville! If I can't make a friend here, there's gotta be something wrong with me !".
she took a minute to calm down and sighed. "Okay, calm down. Nobody makes friends with a total stresscase."
She looked around and saw ponies everywhere either talking or playing with their friends, she even saw Cyre playing four square with a few fillies.
"Stop stressing... Stop stressing! " she said as every pony turned to look at her. She took this as a hint to leave, which she did. Cyre looked at her leave in worry. 'I should go tell twilight what's going on.' he thought. With that, Cyre put two fingers on his head and vanished, much to the fillies confusion.
Starlight was currently at the spa to get rid of all the stress she was feeling. "This is just what I needed." starlight said with a sigh.
"Tell me about it." a mare next to her responded.
"You ever have one of those days?" starlight asked her.
"For me, they're all one of those days." the mare responded.
Starlight giggled. "I'm gonna start coming here every time I visit Ponyville." the mare affirmed.
"I'm not from here either. I've been trying to make friends, but it's not easy. They're not saying it, but I think everypony knows about my past. I may have been a tiny bit... completely and utterly evil?" starlight said nervously.
"Ponies judge me on my past too." the mare said.
"Finally, a pony I can relate to." starlight said with a smile.
"Soup spoon, salad fork, pasta spoon, strawberry pick. I'm beginning to think that after friendship, the greatest magic of all is proper silverware placement!" twilight giggled.
"Twilight, are you even listening to me?!?!? What have we been talking about for the past half hour? You know, concerning starlight and her making a new friend?" Cyre said very annoyed.
"I don't really know." twilight said. Cyre could swear to Kami that he could feel one or two of his hairs turn gray as his eye twitched.
Starlight came bursting through the door, much to cyre's relief. If he spent any longer with twilight today alone, he would've kiai'd her. "Twilight, guess what? I made a new friend!"
"That's fantastic news!" Cyre and twilight ecstatically said.
"She's great!"
"Great!"
"She's powerful!"
"Powerful?"
"She's—"
"Hello... princess!"an azure Unicorn with a silver mane was standing there. Her cutie mark was a light blue crescent moon, with a magic wand above the bottom portion of the moon. She was wearing a light purple wizard hat and cape, with various colored stars decorating them.
"Trixie?!" twilight exclaimed.
"You know each other?" starlight and Cyre asked.
"You could say that." twilight said.
Trixie walked over to twilight. "We've had our differences. What matters is Twilight gave me a second chance, and I appreciate it."
Twilight Sparkle preceded to give Trixie a forced smile as she played with the silverware on the table.
"So, um, what brings you to Ponyville?"
"The Grrrreat and Powerful Trrrrixie has come to perform a new stage show of grand illusion! I am calling it "The Humble and Penitent Trixie's Equestrian Apology Tour"!" Trixie stated. Cyre couldn't help but see a lot of vegeta's ever-so-prideful attitude in that mare.
"That's kind of a mouthful." starlight said to her in a hushed tone.
"It's a working title." she responded back in a hushed tone. It was then when cyre decided to make himself known.
"Hi Trixie. My name is Cyre. I hope we can be good friends!" Trixie didn't even know Cyre was here until just now, so she just stared at the bipedal creature staring at her.
She quickly regained her composure and preceded to ask who he was. Cyre gave her an abridged version of what he told twilight to save time. Of course, as anypony would, she found it hard to believe, but the prove was staring her right in the face.
"Starlight? Cyre? A moment? Over here?" she said as she pulled both of them over with her magic. "I know I said make friends with anypony , but, well, with Trixie's past, and your past, I'm not sure she's the best... first friend."
"What exactly did she do that was so bad?" Cyre asked. Twilight explained how she brought an ursa minor into town, and enslaved ponyville before reforming. "okay, that's a little crazy."
"But you've forgiven her, right?" starlight asked suspiciously.
"Of course. It's just... She wasn't the nicest pony."
"Well, you did say anypony, and I just assumed that you'd trust me to make my own friends the way Princess Celestia trusted you ." starlight said sternly.
"Yeah, and i say we give her a chance to. One of my components was a pride filled saiyan who was oringinally sent to destroy my home planet. But all is forgiven after what we've been through though."
"Okay? Moving on.... You're right. I trust you. Just be back in time for the dinner." twilight said.
"Thanks, Twilight! You won't regret it!" starlight said while galloping away.
"Hey! Wait for me!" Cyre said running after them.
"I hope not." twilight went back to the table and saw that Trixie had molded together a few of the utensils to make a pony silverware version of herself, causing Twilight to sigh.
Cyre, starlight and Trixie had left the crystal castle moments ago and were now headed for Trixie's wagon.
"This magic show's gonna be the greatest thing Ponyville's ever seen!" Trixie exclaimed, much to cypress and starlight's amusement. Cyre's face suddenly turned grim as he heard ponies talking about his new friend as they were setting up the stage.
"...did you see...?"
"...did you hear...?"
Apparently,Trixie heard them all as well. "Everypony always says they'll give you a second chance, but deep down, they never forget."
"That's what I'm worried about." starlight responded.
Trixie sighed in response to it all.
"What is it?" starlight asked.
"I heard what Twilight said about me, and she's right. I wasn't very nice. So I'd understand if you didn't want to be friends." Trixie said with a sigh.
"Are you kidding? You're the first pony I've met who has any idea how I feel!" starlight exclaimed.
"Yeah! And other than twilights immediate family and friends, a
Trixie looked around before whispering to starlight and Cyre. "Can you keep a secret?"
"What are friends for?" Both Twilight and Cyre said at the same time.
"The things I've done? I did them because I was jealous of Twilight. She's just the best at everything , and I wanted to beat her at something !" Trixie said in a hushed tone.
"So you're jealous of her?" Cyre said bluntly with a straight face. Trixie gave Cyre a deep glare, though it meant nothing to the Saiyan warrior.
"Your secret's safe with me." starlight butted in.
Trixie looked at her with a smile. "Thanks. Want to help me unpack my wagon?"
The three of them walked to the wagon with leisure. "I spend a lot of time on the road with my wagon, so it might be a tad messy." Cyre just chuckled. If they knew how much Saiyans ate, their manners when doing so, and what the dishes looked like in the end, she would really need to redefine the word "messy".
"Maybe I can help. I'm pretty good at organizing stuff. Magic props, brainwashed crowds..." starlight remarked before laughing with Trixie.
"Pssssssst! Pssst! Psssssst ! Shhhhhh!" both starlight and Cyre were hearing noises coming from a nearby bush. They walked over and saw twilight hiding in it.
"Uh, I'll catch up. I think there's something in my hoof." starlight said while looking at her hoof.
"Sure. The wagon's right around the corner." Trixie said as she walked away. Both cure and starlight then focused on Twilight.
"So, how's it going with your new friend?" Twilight asked.
"Great. Thanks for asking in a completely not creepy way." starlight said sarcastically.
"Because you know, if it isn't working out for any reason, I could introduce you to my friend here." she said as she pointed to a bush next to her.
Starlight Glimmer simply deadpanned. "Nice to meet you."
"No, no! You can come out now!" out of the bush popped out vinyl scratch, or DJ Pon-3 as she was known.
"You like music, right? DJ Pon-3'd be the perfect friend for tonight's incredibly important dinner with Celestia. You know, if you decide to make a last-minute change. Heh." Twilight said with a light chuckle.
"So back at your castle when you said "I trust you", you meant "I don't trust you"." starlight said sternly as Cyre glared at twilight just as sternly.
"Who can really say who said what? I know I can't! Can you?" twilight saw
"Starlight, I'm just trying to look out for you." Twilight said as she put a hoof on starlight's shoulder.
Starlight sighed and pushed her hoof away. "I appreciate it, but you're wrong about Trixie. She's just like me. We have a real connection."
"That's kind of what I'm afraid of. Oh! What about her?" Twilight said as she pointed to derpy hooves who smiled at twilight before slamming into a bakery sign and falling to the ground with a thump. (Poor derpy though...) :(
"Please, Twilight! I know you're trying to help, but I need to make friends on my own if I'm going to become a better pony." starlight exclaimed.
"But do you really think Trixie's the one to help you with that?" twilight answered back.
"Wow. Trixie was right. You're not really giving her a second chance. I wonder what that says about how you feel about me." starlight said as she ran away with tears in her eyes.
"Wow, Twilight. Didn't think you would stoop as low as to not only spy, bit not let starlight do this on her on. I don't recall you doing it to me when I came to Equestria." Cyre said with a glare.
Twilight then saw Cranky Doodle Donkey sitting on a nearby bench as a few birds sat next to him, one even comically took his wig, which he snorted at.
"Oh! Now he'd be perfect!" starlight and Cyre both groaned, Cyre adding in a facepalm.
Cyre and starlight caught up and were now unloading Trixie's wagon, although Cyre was doing most of the unloading, not that it really mattered to him.
"I was thinking. You said Twilight is better than you at everything, but that's not true. You're better at magic." Starlight said.
"Only when I'm wearing a soul-sucking evil amulet, so I don't think that counts. Funny story. Don't need to get into it." Trixie said with a nervous chuckle. Cyre couldn't help but think that sounded pretty close to what happened to Majin Vegeta and Goku fighting that one time.
"I meant stage magic." starlight corrected.
"Well, of course! Great? Yes. Powerful? Obviously. But I'm not the best . As great and powerful as I am, there's one trick I've never been able to do – the Moonshot Manticore Mouth Dive!" Trixie stated.
"Only one magician has ever pulled it off – my hero, Hoofdini! You are supposed to blast yourself into the open mouth of a hungry manticore! After the manticore chews you up and swallows you, you magically step out of a box on the other side of the stage! Completely unharmed!" Trixie exclaimed.
"That sounds very..."
"Dangerous?" Trixie finished.
"I was gonna say cool!" starlight exclaimed.
"I knew I liked you for a reason. I don't know how he did it! If I tried it, I'd get chewed up and swallowed by that manticore." Trixie admitted.
"Not if you could use real magic." Starlight said.
"Obviously. Way to rub it in." Trixie stated.
"No, I mean, I could help! You could start the trick, and right before you got chewed up, I could use magic to save you..." she grabbed Trixie with her magic and teleported her into the black box.
"...and make you appear in the black box!"
"I guess that would work... But if you made one mistake, I'd be a goner." Trixie stated.
"Hah. When it comes to magic, I don't make mistakes. Maybe I could be your... magic show helper pony!" starlight suggested.
"And if you need a manticore, I can help with that," Cyre added with a smile.
"We call it "assistant" in the magician biz. And... nopony's ever offered to help before. Abd do you seriously have a Manticore, cyre? I find that hard to believe..." Trixie stated.
With a huge, loud whistle, and a half minute later, Nala had arrived, to Trixie's surprise as Cyre scratched Nala behind the ear, causing her to purr, while starlight just smiled.
"Well, I'd be honored." Starlight said.
"You two may have just made my great and powerful magic show even better! Which I didn't think was possible! We're gonna blow them away tonight!" Trixie exclaimed.
Starlight groaned. "I can't! Tonight's this incredibly important dinner with Twilight.
"Oh," Trixie said.
"Can I vent for a minute?" starlight asked.
"What are friends for?" Trixie stated with a smile.
"Even after Twilight says she trusts me, she clearly doesn't trust me enough to choose my own friends." starlight said with a sigh. "I guess you were right. No second chances."
"Hmph, I wish I could say I was surprised. Well, lucky for Princess Twilight , I have my magic show tonight. If you have to go to the dinner, I completely understand. I just hope I find a way to survive the Moonshot Manticore Mouth Dive without my new assistant!"
"This is your decision starlight. Choose wisely." Cyre said as he walked to Nala to brief her on the situation.
Twilight was now at a dinner table with Princess Celestia, along with vinyl scratch, cranky doodle donkey, and derpy hooves, although starlight wasn't present.
"Starlight Glimmer should be here, heh, any minute, heh. Any minute now..." Twilight said with a forced nervous laugh, but the look on Celestia's face told her she wasn't buying it.
How about I introduce everyone? Our friendship lessons are going so well! She made three new friends! She has such great taste in friends. I don't know where she would've learned that!" Twilight said with a nervous laugh.
"Starlight Glimmer? I thought you said "nose-hair trimmers"! What's going on? I'm hungry! And my nose is too hairy." cranky said as he snorted.
Twilight Sparkle was growing more nervous by the second. "Ha-ha, Cranky Doodle! You're so funny! If you'll excuse me, I'm gonna check the kitchen. Maybe she got lost amongst the, uh... artichokes!" with that, she quickly ran away and out the door to find starlight.
"Starlight? Has anyone seen Starlight Glimmer? I'm looking for her!" she then saw Trixie's stage, and the realization then hit her like a lightning strike. "Trixie. "
"So this is the Humble and Penitent Trixie's Equestrian Apology Tour?" pinkie asked.
"Ain't that a mouthful of molasses." Applejack stated with a smile.
"It's a working title!" Trixie shouted from the curtains of the stage. "Oh, this is gonna be the greatest night of my life! Excuse me. Our lives."
Starlight sighed in happiness. "I'm so glad we're not at that boring dinner."
"Why do I feel like its going to backfire soon?" Cyre stated.
"Ahem?" they all saw Twilight standing in the doorway.
"Oh, that's how," Cyre stated with a blank face.
"You just decided to skip our dinner without telling me? Are you aware that, at this very moment, Princess Celestia is waiting for you at a table with exquisite silverware placement?!" twilight shouted at starlight.
"Yes, but—"
"This is exactly why I didn't want you to make friends with Trixie." Twilight interrupted.
"A-ha! You still don't trust me! But guess what, princess ? It doesn't matter if you want to give me a second chance or not. Starlight had to choose between you and me, and she chose me! Your pupil chose me, so ha! I win!" Trixie exclaimed.
"You win? That sounds like you just made friends with me to beat Twilight." starlight added.
"Exactly! Wait! I mean, no! I got caught up in the moment. I like you. Beating Twilight is just a bonus." she reached for starlight's hoof but she gasped when it was slapped away. "Saying that didn't help, did it?"
"I should've known. Nopony else in Ponyville wanted to be my friend. Why would you?" with a sob, starlight ran off the stage.
"Wait, it's not like that! I am your friend." Trixie groaned as she said that.
Twilight Sparkle stepped off the stage. "Well, you won. I hope you're happy!"
Trixie in a boatload of sadness. "Looks like the Great and Powerful Trixie is back to a solo show."
Twilight Sparkle took a rebound at that. "Trixie?"
"...Which is exactly the way she likes it! Thank you, Princess Twilight, for getting rid of that annoying pony who wanted to be my first friend! I am not sad at all! I definitely don't feel as if my heart is breaking into a million pieces!" she said with tears forming as she closed the curtains.
The spotlight clanked and stopped on Trixie as she walked on stage.
"Come one, come all. Come and see the Pathetic and Friendless Trixie's "Way-To-Go-Dum-Dum-You-Really-Messed-It-Up-This-Time Repentance Tour"." Trixie said unenthusiastically.
The crowd was now thoroughly confused.
"It's a working title! " Trixie shouted. "Behold, your fears come true. A pony-eating manticore." the light shines on Nala as she roared at the crowd, causing Fluttershy to tremble.
"For tonight, the Great and Powerful Trixie will be performing the Moonshot Manticore Mouth Dive." Trixie once again stated unenthusiastically as the crowd gasped in excitement.
"Now, now, save your gasps for when I defy the beast's jaws of doom and appear inside that black box." Trixie said.
"I was supposed to perform this trick with my great and powerful assistant, who was also my great and powerful friend!" Trixie said dramatically as she walked towards the cannon.
At this point, cyre didn't know whose side to be on. He pretty much was only with twilight because he simply had little knowledge over the subject of friendship. This made Cyre boil ad his hands clenched, he hated not being able to help! They both walked to find starlight watching at the top of a hill wiping a tear away.
"Starlight, when I first came to Ponyville, Princess Celestia gave me room to make my own decisions and my own friends. I need to give you the same freedom. I shouldn't have tried to pick and choose your friends for you. Just like me, you have to make your own decisions and your own friends." Twilight said as starlight looked at her.
"But... what if Trixie really was using me just to one-up you?" starlight asked.
"From what I've seen, she's the real thing," Twilight said as Trixie was lighting the fuse to the cannon.
"But it's not my place to judge. It's all up to you." Twilight said.
As Trixie was about to fly out of the cannon, she spoke. "Starlight? If you're out there and you still want to be friends, let's be great and powerful together! Please?" with a boom, Trixie shot out of the cannon and shrieked as she flew into Nala's mouth, who promptly swallowed and belched, which made Fluttershy faint on the spot.
A flash of magic then appeared in the box, although her cape and hat were tattered.
"Behold, the Peat and Growerful Triskie...!" Trixie stated woozily before falling to the ground with a thud.
With a small moment of silence, the crowd cheered as starlight walked on stage and helped Trixie up.
"And now, I'm proud to introduce my great and powerful assistant! And a best friend. Starlight Glimmer!" Trixie said to the crowd with her voice amplified. The crowd cheers once again as they all bowed, even Nala, as the curtains closed.
"Trixie!" twilight and cyre were now walking in the doorway.
"What do you want? No offense to you, cyre. Offense to her! " Trixie said to twilight in disdain.
"I was wrong. I'm sorry. And I have to hand it to you. I could never have pulled off a trick like that."Twilight admitted.
Trixie tipped her hat to her. "Thank you, princess." fireworks launched as Cyre quickly grabbed all three of them in a tight hug, with a grin on his face. Cyre's expression then turned stoic. "I can't help but feel like we forgot something, but I can't remember what!"
It turns out they all have forgotten about the dinner party, and cranky had asked a question to Celestia that the whole fandom has asked.
"How do you get your hair to do that all the time?"

PonyballzKai: Adventures In Equestria (Redone)
Rainbow Dash’s Big Day! Trials of the New Wonderbolt!
Rainbow was currently taking a slow flight through Ponyville with some pony called to her. "Hey! Rainbow Dash!"
The filly was revealed to be scootaloo, who was riding her scooter. Rainbow dash quickly flew down to her. "Hiya, Scootaloo! What's up?"
"The Rainbow Dash Fan Club just decided – everypony's coming to see you when the Wonderbolts' new tour comes through Ponyville!" scootaloo exclaimed in excitement.
Rainbow Dash chuckled. "Well, it's great that you guys are going to the show, Scoot, but I won't actually be performing in it. Reservists aren't in the show unless one of the real Wonderbolts can't fly. I'll probably be working crowd control or something."
"You're still gonna be wearing a Wonderbolts uniform though, right?" scootaloo questioned.
"A Reservist one, yeah." rainbow dash responded.
"Hmm. That's good enough for me." scootaloo was about to leave, but that was before they saw three of the wonderbolts headed their way, although spitfire was the only one to land with a loud boom, which was totally copied from iron man!
Rainbow Dash gasped as she saw spitfire land. "Whoa!" scootaloo shouted.
Spitfire quickly walked over to rainbow dash. "Rainbow Dash! Glad we found you. We need you in the show when we get to Ponyville. Flying."
"But she's only in the Reserves!" scootaloo said.
"Not anymore, kid." spitfire responded back.
Rainbow Dash slowly gasped. "You mean..."
Scootaloo gasped and gave rainbow a big hug and danced in joy as rainbow just stood there. "Rainbow Dash! You're finally a full-fledged Wonderbolt! Woo-hoo! Yeah, Rainbow Dash! Whoo!"
"Heh. What she said." spitfire said as the world zoomed in on rainbow's huge smile.
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.

(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.)
Rainbow Dash was back at her cloud estate with all her friends gathered there to see dash off, even Cyre, who was sitting on a Kinto'un, which he received at the end of his training on earth from goku.
"Uh, anypony seen my wing balm? I don't want to be stiff when I show up at Wonderbolt headquarters." rainbow responded as she packed a bag full of things.
"Got it!" spike was promptly grabbed, thrown into the bag, which was promptly closed and locked.
Spike owned count: 1
"Do you have time to tell us what happened, Rainbow Dash?" twilight asked.
"Oh, yes, we must know every detail!" rarity added as spike opened up the bad and prepared to get out.
"At least it can't get any worse than that." he said. He wad then promptly slammed back down into the bag by pinkie, who had jumped on it.
Spike owned count: 2
"Why do I feel like I should be laughing at spike right now? That looked painful!" Cyre said.
"Start from when you were a foal and you first knew your destiny was to become a Wonderbolt!" pinkie shouted.
"Heh. Well, not much to tell, really. Spitfire told me the Wonderbolts need me to go on tour with them." rainbow said.
"That's really great. I know how long you've been waiting for a spot to open up." fluttershy responded.
"Yeah. Fire Streak decided to retire and teach full-time. Cloudsdale Flight School will probably be churning out Wonderbolts with him there. But guess who was at the top of the Reserve list." rainbow questioned.
"Ooh, ooh, I know! Pick me!" Pinkie said as she raised a hoof in the air. Cyre just sighed.
"You. Only you would answer questions like that..." Cyre said as pinkie smiled at him, complete with a squee.
"So what do you do now, Dashie?" rarity asked.
"I have to report to Wonderbolts headquarters this afternoon. It's only two days 'til tour starts, and I need to learn the routine." rainbow then opened the door to find pinkie pie standing there with cake and party supplies. Cyre just glared at it.
'One day... I will completely understand you! Count on it! ' Cyre thought angrily.
Pinkie Pie gasped. "You're leaving already?! But we barely started your congratulation party! I haven't even thought about your going-away party yet!"
"Pinkie, I'm not leaving Ponyville. I just have to train for this show." rainbow said as she received some glasses from fluttershy.
"I hope everything goes well. Sounds like an awful lot of pressure having to learn everything so quickly." flutter shy said.
"Yeah. Good luck, Dash." applejack added.
Rainbow Dash only laughed. "Luck? Heh. Save that for the rest of the team. Now that my awesomeness has finally been recognized, the other Wonderbolts will have to keep up or eat my cloud trail!"
"Everypony knows you're a great flyer, Rainbow Dash, but so are the rest of the Wonderbolts. It might be more challenging than you think." twilight challenged.
"Aw, you're right! I mean, do I show up wearing sunglasses or not? Sunglasses are automatically cool, but anypony can put them on. Maybe I'd stand out more if I didn't." every pony in the room glared at her.
Cyre flew over to rainbow with some haste. "I'm coming with you. This academy will be the perfect opportunity to see how fast this worlds best can be. Kinto'un, you wont be needed anymore." with that, the flying nimbus soared away.
The cyan pegasus nodded. "See you guys in a few days!" With that both she and her Saiyan friend flew into the air.
"Good luck!" Applejack called out.
"Won't need it!" Rainbow called back.
Pinkie took a few steps forward before pulling out a huge megaphone. She then took a deep breath. "DON'T FORGET TO WRITE!" The mare yelled.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
Not a moment later Cyre appeared next to her, and he angrily grabbed the megaphone and crushed it. "If you do that again you're going to wind up with broken legs!" Since his hearing was much better than that of his friends the already loud yelling was even worse. It felt like he might have gone deaf.
She merely chuckled nervously as he flew away.
After a few minutes of flight the duo arrived at the sight of the Wonderbolts hq. A look of awe came onto Rainbow's face as she looked around. She could see a bunch of pegasi, all of which were training. It truly was a beautiful sight.
Cyre and rainbow landed when they spotted spitfire near the wonder bolts barracks.
Once rainbow announced her presence, Spitfire noticed who else had come to the hq. "Can I help you?" For some reason she thought she had seen him before, but as to where she had no idea.
"So you're the captain of the Wonderbolts?" The Saiyan concluded.
"Yeah, but I don't remember inviting a strange creature to the academy." Spitfire told him sternly.
A small chuckle escaped cyre's mouth. "I'm not here to join, I just came to support Rainbow Dash." He noticed the peculiar look he was receiving. "You must not know who I am. I'm Cyre."
Hearing that made the gold pony take off her shades, which revealed her wide eyes better. "You're Cyre... the Cyre? The guy who saved the crystal empire, and became Princess Celestia's go to?"
"The very same, although I wasn't really the one to save it, and I wouldn't go as far to say I'm her go to quite yet." He grinned.
Spitfire felt her jaw drop lightly, She wasn't the type of pony to just out right respect somepony, because she personally believed respect had to be earned, but in this case she couldn't help it. Cloudsdale had heard of him and his accomplishments, and they had been impressed by what they heard. And here was one of Equestria's biggest celebrities right in front of her!
She then shook her head. "Well it's an honor to finally meet you. Tell me, are the rumors about your legendary speed true?"
"You mean how I'm the fastest flyer in the entire universe, then yes they are." Upon seeing her eyes go even wider the saiyan warrior smirked. A few weeks prior, Cyre was proclaimed the fastest when he beat rainbow in a speed race.
After a few moments she once again shook her head. "So... you said you came here to support Rainbow Dash?" It did seem a little strange to her.
He nodded. "Yeah, she's my friend, and I wanted to see what you wonderbolts are all about."
The gold pegasus smirked. "Well, you and I may have to have a little discussion on training, because the academy could certainly use any tips."
"Sure. Have you considered weighted clothing?"
She cocked a curious brow. "Weighted clothing?" She questioned.
"Yeah, by having someone train with weighted clothes it helps increase their strength and speed, and when they fully adjust to the weight you can increase it." The Saiyan explained.
Spitfire put a hoof to her chin. "Huh, that sounds like a good idea. We'll talk later, I should probably get back to briefing rainbow here."
"Go ahead." He told her.
Spitfire, Cyre, and rainbow were now walking next to the runway.
"Team briefings are every morning at—"
"07:20, because there were twenty ponies in the original E.U.P. Guard that became the Wonderbolts!" rainbow finished.
Spitfire nodded. "Right. And I know you've seen the academy bunks, but these are the official Wonderbolts barracks."
"Built by Admiral Fairweather himself!" rainbow finished.
"Well, she gets an "s" for enthusiasm." Cyre said.
Rainbow tried to cross, but spitfire stopped her. "Don't forget rule number one, newbie. Always check both ways before crossing the runway."
"Uh, sure, but... nopony else is here." rainbow responded.
"They will be, and most of the Wonderbolts like to make a flashy entrance, so stay alert."spitfire warned.
"Right, no problem!"
"Cyre you coming?" Cyre simply used instant transmission to get to the other side, surprising spitfire and rainbow equally.
The three of them were now inside the barracks, more specifically the bedroom.
"Whoa! Is that General Flash's cap?!" rainbow dash said as she looked through the case.
"And the original crest with the Wonderbolts motto on it." spitfire said.
Rainbow Dash and Spitfire both chanted. "Altius volantis! Soaring higher!"
"Wow! I mean, ha, cool." rainbow said, keeping her excitement in check.
"Okay, newbie, we've got a show in two days, which means you gotta hustle your haunches to learn this routine. You got five minutes to get dressed and get outside to meet the rest of the team." spitfire said.
Rainbow Dash nodded in understanding. "Yes, ma'am! I'll have all of the moves down by the end of the day!"
"Let's hope so. We're all expecting you to make quite an impression. Cyre, if you'd care yo join me." both cyre and spitfire left outside, leaving dash alone in her thoughts as she put the uniform on.
"Lookin' good! Okay, you're about to take your first flight as an actual Wonderbolt. No pressure." rainbow said as she began to strech.
"Just gotta go out there and knock 'em off their hooves. Okay, Wonderbolts, get ready to meet your most awesome member ever!"
As she walked outside to meet the other wonderbolts, two of them were racing down the runway. Fortunately, Cyre noticed and grabbed rainbow and launched to the other side at breakneck speeds.
"Huh? Whooaaa!" rainbow was so stunned, when Cyre let go, she went launching into a trash can with a clatter.
"Whoa, most awesome entrance by a newbie ever." one of the wonderbolts said.
"Are you okay, Rainbow Dash?" Soarin asked.
"More like Rainbow Crash ." fleetfoot said as rainbow had a PTSD moment.
"lay off her! Shes only trying to impress you! Now cut it out!" Cyre shouted angrily. They just laughed at him also.
"Please, like your any better than crash here!" one of them said.
Cyre just smirked and stood up straight and started to lift his arms up. The wonder bolts just stated strangely.
"Soooo... What exactly are you—" she was interrupted as Cyre clenched his fists and started yelling, with his yell becoming louder by the second. At first, it didn't seem like a big deal but soon enough the ground started to shake. After the ground shaking came high force winds, which blew everypony back a lot of feet. It felt like some kind of natural disaster, except the source was coming from a single Pony. As the Saiyan powered up his muscles started to bulk up slightly. A few moments later his eyes turned teal, his hair gold and he was surrounded by a huge golden light. With one final shout a blinding light was sent outwards, blinding nearly everypony.
As ponies regained sight they noticed Cyre, but he looked different and there was a golden aura around him. Everything was silent once again, except this time the only noise was a very high pitched sound. The strange noise was something they couldn't really describe, but they were able to tell where it was coming from. His aura was flowing upwards like a flame and said noise was emitting from his aura. "What- what is he?" rainbow asked as everypony looked on shocked.
"I'll put things into perspective for you, I have just transformed into a Super Saiyan. In this state, my power, strength, and natural abilities increase greatly, and guess what, it's a power only Saiyans can have." His voice sounded deeper than before.
"Oh, my Celestia that's so cool! Not to mention awesome!" Rainbow said.
Fleetfoot was still in shock at this whole thing, and her jaw was practically on the floor. After a few moments, she shook off her shock_ all the while doing her best to keep her composure. "Impressive... light... show, but I'm still..."
"Fine then, I guess I'll just have to up the ante." The Super Saiyan searched around and noticed a gigantic rock in the distance, he flew over and brought it back to the field. He gained curious looks from the audience when he held the rock up with one hand. He then threw it high into the air and shot an energy sphere at it, causing the rock to explode into tiny pieces. As the tiny pieces fell Super Cyre shot more energy balls at them, each piece was obliterated leaving only a dust cloud behind. When it was all over he looked around and noticed the shocked looks.
"What... are... you?"
He smirked. "I am a proud Saiyan warrior from the planet Earth, you can call me Super Cyre."
"How. How is he so strong? How many pull-ups did he do? how many sit-ups? WHAT KIND OF JUICE DID HE DRINK?!?!?! " fleetfoot asked in her mini freak out.
(End music)
Rainbow was the first to regain her composure once Cyre powered down. "Hey! You guys buzzed me on purpose! And Cyre can vouch for me!"
"Not quite. You forgot rule number one, newbie ." Spitfire said.
"Always check both ways before crossing the runway." all the bolts except for rainbow said. She looked at cyre, who shrugged.
"Yeah, well, I was just... testing you guys!" rainbow said with a huff.
The Wonderbolts just gave her disbelieving laughter.
"Alright, nopony got hurt and we got a lot to do, so let's forget about this and get flying!" Spitfire said to the others.
"Classic rookie move, Rainbow Crash . That was amazing." Cyre glared at her as he helped rainbow get all that garbage off.
The rest of the day didn't go well for rainbow, as she did nothing but make more mistakes.
"Higher, Crash! You're breaking formation!"
"Check your nine, Crash!"
"Tighter, Crash, get in there!"
"My names not crash!" rainbow growled.
The day was now complete as rainbow closed her locker in sorrow.
Fleetfoot then walked over. "Hey, Crash, I know it was a tough day today, but don't worry. You'll get the hang of it."
Rainbow Dash just scoffed. "Tough day? Please. If I can pull off a sonic rainboom, I can learn this routine. I'll have it down cold tomorrow. Probably even come up with a couple of improvements."
"Rainbow Dash, over here!" spitfire called out.
Rainbow Dash flew over. "Yes, ma'am!
"I'm glad you're still here," Spitfire said.
"Oh, yeah? Did you want some ideas on how to make the show extra-awesome?" rainbow asked.
Spitfire shook her head. "Not quite. I know you've been a Reservist for a while, but the 'Bolts have a few of their own rules you might not know about. Like worst flyer of the day has to clean up the whole compound. Better get to it, Crash." she then turned to leave, but when she looked at Cyre, she licked her lips, to which Cyre grew nervous instantly over.
Rainbow Dash sighed. "My name's not Crash," she said under her breath. Just as she was about to start cleaning, everything glowed pink before everything sparkle liked diamonds. She looked at cyre with a smile as they both flew out of the compound.
Rainbow and Cyre both headed back to rainbow's house. When they open the door, party cannons fired, and when it cleared, they saw the rest of the main 6, and the cutie mark crusaders.
"Surprise!"
Rainbow Dash and Cyre had the same thought. "What?"
"Hooray, Rainbow Dash! Our favorite Wonderbolt!" they all shouted as the brought out a banner with a crude drawing of rainbow dash.
"We know you're probably tired, Rainbow Dash, but Pinkie wanted to throw you a real party." Twilight said.
"Your best day ever party!" Pinkie said through a megaphone, with said megaphone soon being shot to ash with a ki blast from an angry Cyre, who glared at Pinkie, who once again made a mental note not to use megaphone around the Saiyan.
Rainbow Dash nervously laughed. "Yeah. It was somethin', all right."
"Well, we can't wait to hear all about it!" Applejack stated.
"Heh. And I'd love to tell you, I really would, but I'm pretty beat. [yawns] You know, from all the... excitement of my big day?" rainbow said as she fake yawned.
"Um, is something wrong, Rainbow Dash?" Fluttershy asked.
Rainbow Dash tried to once again ignore it. "What could be wrong? I'm finally a Wonderbolt, which means everything has to be totally, perfectly awesome."
"Oh, no. Something is wrong. What happened, darling?" rarity asked concerned.
"I told you, it's nothing! I mean, maybe some of the Wonderbolts started calling me Rainbow Crash..." rainbow said sadly.
"Oh, no! Isn't that the same terrible nickname those bullies in flight school used to call you?" Fluttershy asked upset.
Rainbow Dash nodded while whimpering.
"Why would they call you that?" twilight said next.
"Well, I kinda sorta fell into a garbage can," she said while once again whimpering.
"Well, look at the bright side! At least they didn't call you Rainbow Trash!" once pinkie received the glares of her friends, she opted to stay out of the rest of it.
"So you started off on the wrong hoof. I'll bet every new Wonderbolt has a tough first day." Applejack said.
"Mmm-hmm! What you need is to find a positive way to stand out. As soon as you're known for something else, that nasty old nickname will be forgotten." rarity responded confidently.
"Rarity's right. Why don't you think of the Wonderbolts like us? We're a team, but we all stand out in different ways." Twilight said as well.
Rainbow Dash the had an idea as she went to bed. "That's it! I'm gonna stand out in a different way, just like you guys! Goodbye, Rainbow Crash; hello, Captain Awesome!"
"Why do I feel like she's going to take it to literally?" Cyre asked himself.
At wonderbolt HQ, all the wonderbolts were beginning to get ready and wake up, when rainbow dash, who was imitating her friend pinkie pie, even with her mane styled the same, went jumping in full of energy like the party mare.
"Good morning, everypony! Who's ready for a fantastic day of flying? I know I am! I just couldn't be more excited for the big show tomorrow. Are you guys excited? I'm excited! Actually, I'm always excited! Some ponies even call me "Dynamic Dash"!" rainbow said as she popped a balloon.
"Because I'm so full of energy all the time!" rainbow said before beginning to pant like a dog.
"Uh, Wonderbolts don't get excited, Crash . You gotta keep a level head to fly the way we do." fleet foot warned.
Rainbow Dash sighed and changed to imitate the apple mare next. "Well, of course, I know that! But the truth of the matter is, you should be excited! It's the dream of near every little Pegasus pony to grow up and fly with the Wonderbolts! And here you all are doin' it!" she said with a makeshift southern accent.
"So are you." fleet foot added.
"True! Go ahead and call me "Forthright Filly" if you want. But she-yucks, I like to tell it like it is, and I believe a pony oughta appreciate hard work payin' off like this because bein' a Wonderbolt is somethin' special!"
"We know." with that, the door slammed shut with rainbow the only one left In the sleeping quarters.
Rainbow Dash was now outside with the others as she acted like twilight. "You know, I was just reading about how dihedral wing angles can help increase stability in banking turns. It made me think that pre-flight checklists could really help increase our efficiency, so I went ahead and made them for everypony!" she had to hold the papers down to stop them from flying away.
"I'm always finding so much interesting information in books. In fact, a lot of ponies call me "Reading Rainboom"." those words were rewarded by a huge reprimand by Spitfire, complete with a loudhailer.
"We all know how wings work, newbie! And we already have checklists! Now get off the runway! "
Rainbow Dash was now imitating Fluttershy. "I'm so sorry. I was just trying to help because I care about all of the Wonderbolts oh-so-much. Yessiree, just call me "Care Mare". Um, but if you're busy now, I can just come back later..."
Spitfire answered with a low growl.
"Or, you know, not at all..." flutterdash said as she zipped away.
Rainbow Dash was now in the locker room with the others. "Okay."
She then changed her hairstyle so she could better imitate Rarity. "I must tell you how much I just love these uniforms. Why, ever since I was a foal, I've admired the mixture of bold lines and classic contours. They don't call me "Rainbow Fash " for nothing."
Soarin wasn't sure if she was crazy or attempting to seduce him. "Uhhhh... huh...?"
"The "Fash" is for "Fashion"." raridash said, complete with a snobby voice.
Spitfire then walked over. "Crash! I'm not sure why you're acting like this, but you need to stop," she demanded.
Rainbow's hair went back to normal as she looked down in sadness. "I was just, you know, trying to show everypony all the awesome ways I can contribute to the 'Bolts."
"I know you're excited to find your place on the team, but just focus on the routine for now, okay?" spitfire asked.
"Yes, ma'am." rainbow said.
"Maybe this will help motivate you." spitfire opened rainbows locker to reveal rainbows Wonderbolts jacket, which had a picture of her cutie mark crashing into a stop sign... Or whatever that sign is called.
"Crash?! Couldn't you just put my regular name on it?!" rainbow pleaded.
"That's not how it works around here. We all have our nicknames on our jackets. Right, Clipper?" Spitfire said to Soarin.
"Clipper?" rainbow said.
Soarin nodded as he shut his locker and left. "Right, boss!"
"Now it's official. Welcome to the Wonderbolts, Crash!" Spitfire said as she left, looking at printed pictures of Cyre from the cameras of the HQ as she licked her lips with a smile.
Rainbow Dash groaned as she threw the jacket back into the locker. "If I don't come up with something unforgettable to add to the routine, I'm gonna be Rainbow Crash for the rest of my life!" she said as she shut the locker.
As the wonderbolts began to get ready for the show, rainbow stole a storm cloud and flew off with it, as her friends were beginning to arrive.
"This is gonna be so amazing!" scootaloo said as she took a seat.
"I know! I'm almost as excited as Pinkie Pie!" spike exclaimed.
"I can't wait to see Rainbow Dash's first performance as an honest-to-goodness Wonderbolt! I hope there's cotton candy!" Pinkie said as she zipped off in search of the sweet substance.
"We should all remember to be extra supportive for Rainbow Dash too," Fluttershy said.
"Excellent point. It's simply dreadful that she's had such a rough start after finally achieving her dream." Rarity added.
"Rainbow Dash is a pretty resilient pony. I'm sure she's shaken off her tough first day and turned it around by now!" Twilight said.
Cyre however, was not so convinced. "Yeah, and she can be just as stubborn.i just can't shake the feeling she'll do something extremely stupid..."
"Speakin' of... Hey, Dash!" Applejack noted as rainbow flew over.
"Perfect! Hey, can I borrow Scootaloo?" rainbow asked.
"Me? What for?" scootaloo asked.
"Oh, heh, I just needed some help and figured the president of the Rainbow Dash Fan Club was the right pony for the job!" she said.
"I thought the Wonderbolt Reserves were here to help," Twilight added.
"Oh, yeah, they're all busy doing, uh, official Reserve stuff. But don't worry! With Scootaloo's help, everything's gonna be awesome. Better than awesome! Rainbow said as she took scootaloo and prepared to fly away.
"Does... Does that mean practice went well yesterday?"
"Gotta go." she ignored Rarity's question and flew away. Soon enough, the were both on a hill that had a wooden ramp.
"What are we doing up here, Rainbow Dash?"
"I just need a small favor from you that's really gonna make this show something special. Now, the Wonderbolts are gonna fly over this ridge right before the finale of the show. I'll fly by last, and when I signal you, you zip up the ramp on your scooter and kick the storm cloud into my path!" rainbow said.
"What?"
"That kick will shoot off a lightning bolt right behind me, making me look totally awesome! And then I'll do some incredible Rainbow Dash flying with it to create the coolest, show-stopping, lightning-tastic light show anypony has ever seen!" rainbow said in excitement.
"Are you sure about this?" Scootaloo asked her.
"Uh-huh! It's gonna be so awesome! And nopony will ever call me "Rainbow Crash" after this!" as she said that, a few of the wonderbolts were beginning the show.
"Oh, gotta go! Be ready for me, okay, Scootaloo?"
"Um... okay...?" scootaloo said rather confused and unsure.
An Announcer was now speaking through a loudspeaker. "Mares and gentlecolts, fillies and foals of all ages! Look to the skies and prepare to be awestruck by the incredible flying prowess of... the Wonderbolts!" right on schedule, the wonderbolts showed up and were doing a variety of tricks in the air.
"I hope Spike and Pinkie Pie are done getting their snacks, or they're gonna miss Rainbow Dash!" Fluttershy said.
"Oh, don't worry, Fluttershy. Nothing would keep Pinkie Pie from missing this!" Twilight said.
"Heh. Except maybe cotton candy." Applejack retorted.
Spike and Pinkie were getting snacks as spike spotted the wonderbolts doing stunts. "Come on, Pinkie, the show's starting!"
"One second! Just a little bit bigger please, but hurry! Bigger! " the cotton candy cloud was only slightly oversized.
The wonderbolts zoomed by the group causing them to awe. "That was amazing! She's doing great!" twilight then turned to cyre, who somehow had a muffin. "Cyre, where exactly did you get that—" "muffin button." Cyre interrupted. He tapped a button on his watch, and a beam shot out a hot steaming muffin. Twilight looked at it in disbelief.
"Bigger! " the cotton was now stretching to cover the entire booth, only making spike sigh.
The Wonderbolts were preparing the finale as rainbow slowed down as she passed by scootaloo.
Scootaloo put on her helmet. "I hope this works." with a thwack, the storm cloud went into dash's path as the other Wonderbolts landed.
Rainbow Dash yelped as the storm cloud crackled. She jumped back and ended up in a tree, where she was assaulted by birds.
Seriously, they just went to town on her...
The Crowd gasped and winced at what they saw, while a brown pony with an hourglass cutie mark looked at cyre's watch curiously.
Rainbow Dash was then launched into a tree where scootaloo was, and back into the storm cloud from earlier.
Rainbow was now going down, with downed fighter plane noises to match.
Pinkie Pie was now walking back with a cotton candy that was as large as cyre's capsule ship. "Hope I'm not too late. I dunno what took that pony so long.' pinkie said with a scoff.
Back at the stand, the owner looked exhausted, as cotton candy was everywhere.
Rainbow landed in the cotton candy with a splat, as she groaned on the ground. "That was amazing!" Pinkie said.
And how did Cyre react to all this?
Spitfire and the others walked over. "Way to go, Rainbow Crash." at that rainbow sighed.
Rainbow Dash walked out of the medical tent in bandages, where the Wonderbolts were waiting.
"You gonna tell us what just happened, newbie?" spitfire asked.
"I'm so sorry." rainbow said with a sigh.
"I should hope so. You changed the routine without consulting me and put other ponies at risk. I've drummed flyers out of the 'Bolts for less." spitfire remarked with a glare.
"I know, and I'm ready for whatever punishment you want. You guys were right to call me "Rainbow Crash". I've always been a standout flyer, but since I joined the Wonderbolts, I've only stood out for making mistakes. It's been my dream my whole life, but... I guess maybe I'm not Wonderbolt material after all." rainbow said down in the dumps.
Soarin then walked next to her. "Are you serious?! You're the most talented flyer we've ever had!"
"And you've saved all of Equestria like a dozen times." fleet foot added.
"Uh, I—" "Of course you're supposed to be a Wonderbolt. We've been waiting for a spot to open up ever since you joined the Reserves!" spitfire interrupted.
"But... you guys all called me Rainbow Crash ." rainbow said.
"Yeah, so? My nickname's "Clipper". You know why they call me that?" Soarin asked.
"Uh... 'cause you're as fast as a ship?" she guessed.
"Because I clipped my wing on a flagpole as I was landing on my first day. Heh," he said.
"Huh."
'That sounds painful.' cyre thought.
Fleetfoot was next. "Flatfoot". My first day, I misjudged my landing and came down right on Spitfire's hoof."
'Even more so.'
"Dizzy".
"Slowpoke".
"Hoof-in-Mouth".
"You don't wanna know what they call me." spitfire whispered it to rainbow dash.
"Whoa! That is so much worse than Crash." rainbow said.
"Right?" Spitfire said.
(Note: the author's headcanon is that spitfire's nickname is "swallow fire". Can you guess why?)
"So does this mean I'm... still on the team?" rainbow asked.
"Do you think you can be part of this team and not constantly try to showboat?" Spitfire said.
Rainbow Dash couldn't help but think about cyre on showboating his Super Saiyan form. "I promise! I spent my whole life trying to be a standout flyer, but now that I'm a Wonderbolt, it's time to be okay with fitting in!"
"Good, because I really didn't want to miss the chance to tease you for years about this catastrophe! I mean, that crash was epic!" spitfire remarked as they all laughed.
"But you're on probation for a month. Got a problem with that?!" spitfire quickly said to the dash.
Rainbow Dash responded back just as quickly. "No, ma'am."
Rainbow was sweeping up the area as Twilight and her friends walked over.
"Hey. Rainbow Dash. We just wanted to check on you. Are you doing okay?"
"I'm doing great, thanks!"
"Sure you don't need any help?" scootaloo said.
"Nah. This mess is my responsibility, and I've gotta clean it up myself. And after this, Spitfire's got me cleaning the Wonderbolts' compound for the next month." rainbow responded.
"So why are you in such a good mood?" Cyre asked her.
"Duh! Because I'm a Wonderbolt!" she said with a smile. Cyre smiled in kind as he watched Rainbow Dash cleaning up. She was maturing and learning better than he had hoped for. Had to be humiliated to make it happen, but it happened! In the end, the lesson was learned, so Cyre couldn't complain much. Cyre looked up at the sky, wondering what else was out there undiscovered…

PonyballzKai: Adventures In Equestria (Redone)
The Savage Saiyan! Meeting Broly on Planet Vampa!
In the magical land of Equestria, a time of peace had reigned under the protection of the Elements of Harmony and their wielders, the Mane 6, for the past few months after Starlight's redemption. Cyre was actually in Canterlot that day, as both Celestia and Luna had requested an audience. The three of them were in the throne room, having a discussion.
“Welcome, Cyre,” Celestia said, her voice calm and graceful. “We are grateful for your presence here today.”
“Thank you, Princess Celestia. Princess Luna,” Cyre replied with a respectful bow. “I understand you wish to discuss the safety of Equestria.”
Luna nodded, her expression serious. “Indeed, Cyre. While our land has been protected by the Elements of Harmony and our loyal subjects, recent events have shown us that threats can come from places we least expect. An assault on the timeline, and even nearly losing an entire city to snow. We seek your guidance in finding warriors who can stand alongside us.”
Celestia continued, “We have seen your strength and courage. You understand the importance of protecting those who cannot protect themselves. Equestria needs more warriors like you.”
Cyre, thoughtful, looked at the two princesses. “Equestria is a land of peace and harmony, but you’re right. The threats you face are growing more dangerous. A lot of fighters are on Earth, quite strong actually. A few are even stronger than me currently."
Luna’s eyes sparkled with determination. “We are prepared to do whatever it takes to ensure the safety of our subjects. Tell us more about these warriors.”
Cyre began to explain, “There are many strong fighters out there. Some are Saiyans like myself, known for their immense strength and combat skills. Others come from different backgrounds and possess unique abilities. but I'm doubtful that any of them have time to come here for long periods, so that's not reliable. There may be some warriors who possess great power and unwavering resolve, but they are scattered across the universe. Finding them won’t be easy. To bring them here, we need to offer them a purpose, a reason to fight.”
Celestia leaned forward, her eyes full of hope. “And what would that purpose be, Cyre?”
“Equestria is a place worth protecting,” Cyre said. “Its beauty, its harmony, and the bonds of friendship that hold it together are rare in the universe. If we can show these warriors the value of what they are defending, they will be more than willing to help.”
Luna glanced at her sister, then back at Cyre. “We trust you, Cyre. If you believe that you can find these warriors and bring them to Equestria, we will support you in every way possible.”
Celestia added, “Our resources are at your disposal. Use our magical artifacts, our knowledge, and our allies to aid you in your quest.”
Cyre felt a swell of resolve within him. “Very well. I will embark on this journey and seek out the strongest warriors who can help protect Equestria. But remember, their strength is only as great as the bonds they form with those they protect. Friendship and unity will be our greatest weapons. However, I don't think I'll need your artifacts. I'll start on my search alone first."
The princesses nodded in agreement, their hearts filled with optimism. “Go with our blessings, Cyre,” Celestia said. “May your journey be swift and successful.”
As Cyre departed the throne room, he felt a renewed sense of purpose. With the support of the princesses and the promise of finding new allies, he was determined to ensure that Equestria would remain a land of peace and harmony, protected by the strongest warriors the universe had ever seen.
Cyre, with his experience and knowledge of the universe, stepped out of Canterlot and flew back to Ponyville to his ship. His mission was clear: to find powerful warriors who could defend Equestria against any impending danger. Cyre decided he could use the instant transmission to sense any powerful energies. Putting two fingers to his face, he concentrated intensely as he searched and searched for any strong power that wasn't on Earth, but it was very difficult. He searched for hours in the privacy of his ship and he seemingly couldn't find anything. He was about to simply give up when he sensed a faint energy reading. He focused and locked on immediately before he put the capsule ship in his pocket before he teleported away.
Cyre rematerialized on the surface of a desolate planet called Vampa. Descending onto the rough, barren surface of Vampa, Cyre surveyed the inhospitable terrain. The sky was a permanent shade of green, and the ground was littered with rocky outcrops and dangerous creatures. As he ventured deeper into the planet's wilderness, he came across signs of habitation—a crude shelter and remnants of past battles.
It was there that he encountered Broly and his father, Paragus. Broly, a towering figure with immense power, was unlike any warrior Cyre had seen before. His aura alone radiated raw strength and untamed energy. Paragus, older and weary, looked to Cyre and ran over to him, and fell to his knees in front of him due to old age.
"Another Saiyan… I never thought somebody would come at this point. Please… Please tell me you're here to save us!" Paragus was begging and further explaining their plight and their exile to this harsh world at the hands of King Vegeta.
Cyre, recognizing the potential within Broly, approached them with caution. He spoke of Equestria, a land that needed protectors, and offered them a chance at a new life. Paragus, driven by a desire for a better future for his son, along with finally escaping Vampa, was intrigued by the prospect. Broly, while reserved and cautious, was curious about the world beyond his isolated existence.
Cyre demonstrated his own super saiyan power, showcasing the potential that lay in working together. Broly, inspired by the display, agreed to join him. Paragus, hopeful for a fresh start, consented as well. Cyre decided it was best to not mention Vegeta was on Earth right now, in order to further get them to cooperate.
With the agreement made, Cyre activated his spaceship's transport system, and the three Saiyans left Vampa behind. Using the coordinates in the Spaceship, he discovered that it would take a week to get back to Equestria. As they traveled through the stars, Cyre began training Broly, helping him to harness his immense power and control his rage. In one of their battles, they were gravity training at X20. Cyre was fighting Broly at Super Saiyan 2, while Broly was starting to unleash more of his latent potential. He eventually unlocked his Ikari form, which sent Cyre into a defensive mode. Broly was now far stronger than he anticipated or sensed. If he didn't stop him quickly, the ship would be destroyed. Using an afterimage, he fooled Broly as he teleported behind him and briefly went Super Saiyan God to deliver a swift chop to the back of Broly's neck, knocking him out before he got too powerful. That was far too close of a call…
Upon their arrival in Equestria, Princess Celestia and the Mane 6 welcomed Broly and Paragus. The presence of these new warriors brought a renewed sense of security to the land. Broly, under the guidance of Cyre and the friendship of the ponies, began to understand the importance of protecting others and found a sense of belonging he had never known. Paragus, who was far too old to fight at this point, was simply given a place to stay in the royal palace in Canterlot, which he was most thankful for.
Pinkie was the first of the mane 6 that Broly had met, and she challenged Broly to a cupcake eating contest, and she of course, once again, lost.
Rarity was next, and she was utterly shocked at the condition of his clothing. She wanted to remove the green fur wrapped around Broly's waist, but he made it very clear that he would never budge about it as he angrily made Rarity back off. It was all he had left of his first friend after all. Rarity was still committed to making new clothing for him though.
Fluttershy was the third to meet him, and not much was said between the two. They got along really well though. Cyre found that Broly really seemed to like nature and animals the same way Fluttershy seemed to like them. This gave Cyre the idea he needed to help Broly control his power. He reminded Broly that each time he was about to lose control, to look what he was doing to the world around him, destroying everything he loved. Cyre emphasized that the planet was not his enemy, only the opponent. This helped Broly immensely, as he managed to calm down more and more as his power began to steadily increase. When he wasn't training, Broly would likely be at Fluttershy's cottage, offering his assistance.
Rainbow Dash met Broly next. She found Broly to be an overly strong but silent individual, but she didn't really mind that. She got to show off her stunts to him regardless of that, and Broky did at least find it somewhat interesting.
Applejack initially wanted Broly to work on the farm after seeing how strong he looked, but that discussion died when Broly pitched a tree so hard it was sent flying. Broly did apologize and Applejack sighed. She still made a good relationship with Broly despite what happened.
Twilight Sparkle, Spike, and Starlight Glimmer met with him last. Twilight asked many questions about his abilities and what little culture he knew of Saiyans while welcoming him to stay at the Crystal Castle, the same as she had offered to Cyre. Starlight and Broly didn't have much to say to each other, so they stayed acquaintances at this point. Spike managed to Hit it off, showing Broly some of his comics. he accidentally tore one of the pages though.
Cyre and Broly, now together, stood ready to face any threat that dared challenge the peace of Equestria, with Broly's immense power becoming a cornerstone of the world's defense. And so, a new chapter began, with old and new allies united in the quest to protect their home.

PonyballzKai: Adventures In Equestria (Redone)
Chaos Unleashed! Villains of the Past Invade Equestria!
A Full month had passed since Broly's arrival. At that time, he had been progressing immensely. With the two training together, they worked off each other and further maximized the gains of training. Broly was starting to get the hang of controlling his Ikari form, managing to maintain control somewhat, but he could still easily fly off the handle if he wasn't careful. His base form was plenty powerful enough regardless, and it was getting stronger, as was cyre with each passing day. It was nighttime in ponyville, and they both began to train, in Cyre's ship in the gravity room and were finishing up their current training session.
Both trainees were charging Kamehameha waves at each other.
"KA... ME... HA... ME...
Both beams collided in an epic showdown until they exploded in a huge blast of smoke. Once it cleared, it showed Cyre, who was in SSG, and Broly, who was still in base form, both breathing heavily and smiling at each other.
After Cyre powered down, they both went to the showers (But not together, they're not gay). Both of them walked out of the chamber as Cyre put the ship back into capsule form before he turned to Broly. He didn't wanna talk about it, but it was just consuming his mind. He had to get this off his chest.
"Hey broly, do you ever get the feeling they something bad is going to happen soon?" broly nodded in response.
"I can't shake the feeling that something bad will happen soon. My tail's been unwinding and wagging rapidly all day, and it only does that when bad things happen!" he sighed.
"Maybe I should just sleep it off. See you tomorrow Broly." Cyre and Broly flew to Twilight's Castle, where they were staying. They both went to their respective rooms.
Cyre went to sleep very quickly, despite his nervousness about his tail. 'What could be happening that's so bad?' was his final thought before he went to sleep.
Within the fields outside of Ponyville, the ponies and Spike were standing, it was a little early in the morning and they did their best to stay awake. They were all waiting patiently for Cyre to show back up. He said he had something to show them and that it would at least blow Twilight's mind. For some, they were used to getting up early, like Rainbow Dash. But others just wanted to go back to bed. Several yawns escaped their collective mouths as they continued to wait.
After waiting for a few more moments the Saiyan finally appeared. "Sorry to keep you waiting, but I forgot where I put the thing that I was looking for." He explained.
"So what did you want to show us?" Twilight asked, stifling a yawn.
Cyre grinned as he reached into his pocket and pulled out a tiny capsule. "This." He held it out in front of them, but the reaction he got was what he expected.
A silence followed as everypony stared at it. "That's it?!" Rainbow questioned, with annoyance present in her voice. "I got up early because you wanted to show us something, and all we get is a... wait, what is that?"
"It's a capsule, you can store almost anything inside one of these." His explanation didn't really make anything clearer.
The only one who seemed to take interest to this was Twilight. Her friends didn't seem too impressed. She figured that it was a combination of confusion and sleepiness that made them uninterested. "I'm sorry but I don't see how you can fit anything into something so small."
Another grin came onto his face. "Watch this." He clicked the button at the top and threw it at the ground. Once it made contact a small explosion sound could be heard. A cloud of smoke also appeared, and when the smoke vanished they caught sight of something amazing. It was some kind of giant white and black circular structure, and it stood on four small legs. The words Capsule Corp. were present on the side.
To say they were amazed would be a big understatement. "Woah." They collectively said while staring in awe at the thing in front of them.
"What, exactly, is that?" Rarity wondered.
"This is a spaceship, the one I came here on. Twilight and Fluttershy got a quick look at it when I landed. come on I'll show you inside." The Saiyan pushed a button and the door opened, he went inside but it took the others a few moments to follow him. Never before had they heard of capsules or spaceships, it was all so strange to them. Sure they had some things that were common on his Earth, but a spaceship was something brand new.
The inside of the ship looked bigger than the outside for sure, especially since there were two floors. Each of them took time to explore the ship, looking over everything in the area. There was one thing that caught their attention the most, something they had never seen before. "Hey what's this?" The pink pony asked, her hoof drawing closer to the strange thing.
Cyre walked over to her and quickly slapped her hoof away before she could touch anything.
"DON'T. TOUCH. ANYTHING." pinkie frowned and stepped away. Kami knows what would happen if she got a hoof on them. " and they're the controls. with the click of a few buttons this thing would blast off into space."
Everyone else in the ship turned towards him with shocked looks. Some ponies believed it was possible to travel among the stars, but most thought it impossible. Yet here they were, inside a vessel that could travel through the very frontier thought impossible to reach.
Twilight was the first to regain her composure. "I can't believe it, this is amazing!" The list of mind blowing things the Saiyan could do was growing fast. "I've studied the stars before and have dreamed of going up there, and now I have a way of going up there!" She danced around happily as the other ponies stared blankly at her. They clearly didn't share her fascination with space.
"Well maybe sometime I can take you all up for a ride... but this isn't just a ship, it's also where I'm going to be training from now on."
The blank stares didn't fade from their faces. Twilight stopped her dancing and looked over at him, having the same look on her face as her friends.
"This ship also has a gravity chamber which allows me to increase the amount of weight this ship puts on me. Much like with my shirt and wristbands. The higher the gravity the better the training will be."
"Oh well that's... nice." Applejack said.
The others were still in shock by all of this, especially after what he had just told them. None of them could imagine having high gravity weighing them down, and with the way he said it he made it sound so easy.
Before anypony else could say anything cyre's head snapped towards the ceiling. A look of shock then came onto his face.
"Cyre what is it?" Spike asked.
"I sense something, and it feels... familiar to Goku." He could tell that his friends didn't like where this was going. "Come on, we should get out of here. Whatever it is it's coming toward us."
Without saying a word they all exited the ship, and with the push of a button it returned to capsule form. The Saiyan put it back in his pocket and then surveyed the area, whatever he was sensing was coming closer to their location.
Although he could sense something coming the others could not. "Are you sure there's something coming?" The shy pony asked timidly.
He didn't answer, instead he just had his guard up. 'It's getting closer.'
"Maybe it would be better if we..." Rarity's sentence was cut off by cyre grabbing her and everypony else. They were now being held up in the air as a ball of energy hit the ground where they were previously standing. As the ball exploded the ponies and Spike were thankful the Saiyan saved them, because that blast would have killed them.
"Wow you saved us, thanks cyre." The rainbow maned pegasus said as she and everypony else looked down at the ground. As the smoke cleared they could see a gigantic hole where the ground used to be. They all gulped, and they could only guess that whatever he was sensing was really bad.
"It's not over yet." He stated as he descended to the ground and put his friends down. As soon as he did that he could hear laughter coming from up above.
"Today is my lucky day, I get to see another nephew of mine!"
Cyre looked up, and to his surprise, he saw... Raditz?
wanna see who has the best Kamehameha? Wanna see the power of dreams when they are raw? Vs! The strongest foe! Noone but yourself holds you back!
(the title screen, Ponyball z: adventures in Equestria appears as it flies through canterlot. Cyre is then seen flying by with rainbow dash, princess Luna, twilight sparkle, and Fluttershy joining him.)
A fire burning in my veins, is breaking me out of my chains, and raising my power to the max...
(all of them flare their auras and fly away at high speeds, with cyre joining them a few moments later.the scene changes to seeing spike waving to them, along with the mane 6's friends and family.)
our paths filled with uncertainty, but look ahead then you will see, how we'll become, a part of history!
(King Sombra and queen chrysalis appear first. And behind them, ponehendge appears, and in a flash, the pony of shadows appears. Rainbow then appears with green eyes similar to Sombra's, and twilight and rainbow are engaged in a fight.)
whem someone beats me up, I always get back up, my spirits always coming back, and now it's on the attack!
(Sombra is seen spreading crystals across Ponyville. A fused Saiyan of unknown origin appears and goes super saiyan. Twilight Sparkle and Luna are seen performing the fusion dance, as they fuse together and smirk at the audience.)
jump on all your limits and perchance! Throw away your pain in a kind and loving dance! Gorgeous! I'm born again! In the Dragonballs lies the fate of all men!
(stygian is seen fighting twilight, and it switches to another unknown fusion with rainbow hair. Cyre is seen nodding and he goes super saiyan.)
wanna see who has the best Kamehameha? Wanna see the power of dreams when they are raw? vs! The future world! Our epic tail will be unfurled! Greater than the best!
(cyre and chrysalis are now seen fighting. It then changes to a screen where he and his friends are in a fighting pose.)
Raditz landed near the group as Cyre looked on in anger.
"Raditz, how are you back? You were killed two decades ago!" Cyre shouted.
"You don't need to know. All my master told me was to kill you, and destroy this measly planet!" Cyre was confused when he said "master". Someone brought him back to life and now he was serving the guy? Or gal...
Regardless, Cyre knew it would be impossible for Raditz to destroy Equestria, as his ki was disappointingly low. Even Twilight could beat him at this point! Cyre wasn't even joking, Raditz's power was that low.
"Raditz sorry to burst your bubble, but I'm way beyond you in terms of power. Run away now, and ill let you cower away with your dignity." Raditz only got angry and shot a double Sunday at him.
Cyre opened his mouth and... Swallowed both of the beams. He literally ate both of them and swallowed. Cyre's chest expanded slightly as they both exploded, and Cyre burped up clouds of smoke.
Twilight and her friends were just as shocked as Raditz was. He literally just ate two laser-like blasts and only had little indigestion at the end of it. What was worse is they knew it was still only a fraction of what he's capable of. Just how much more powerful could he get?
"Well, I gave you a chance!" Cyre smiled and fired a death beam at Raditz, which barely clipped his face. The left side of Raditz's face was now bleeding with a large cut, and he shut his eyes in pain. Once he opened them, he saw his nephew standing over him, with a devious smirk on his face.
Raditz now had to fight, although now he wasn't so sure if he really wanted to. The two were now face to face, one of them had a look of confidence while the other feared for their life. Victory seemed impossible. If Cyre could swallow one of his strongest attacks and walk away than what chance did he have? "Oh mighty gods of the universe, please come and save me!" He pleaded to the heavens. He received no response. "Crap."
"Was that really your plan?" He received a slow nod, making the warrior sigh. He fired a point-blank Ki blast at Raditz's face and completely destroyed him.
Everypony looked on shocked; their best friend just killed someone right in front of them. Then again... he was technically already dead, so it wasn't too big of a deal. Also, he was a very bad person on top of that. Twilight made a mental note to discuss this with him later.
Cyre smirked to himself about how easy that was, but his smirk quickly faded. He was pretty confused by all of this. How did Raditz come back? He was dead for decades! It didn't help that he could sense a few other differing powers around Equestria. They then saw Spike cough up a letter and Twilight read it before looking up.
"Celestia needs to speak with all of us. Urgently." Twilight said as Cyre nodded at her before looking toward the castle. This would be a good test for himself and Broly. Luckily, he brought senzu beans with him from Earth.
Princess Celestia was sitting atop of her throne, a look of concern on her face. She had felt several dark presences in Equestria but that shouldn't have been, the only real dark presence came from the Everfree Forest... but this energy was spread out. It was like they just sprang up out of nowhere. Several ideas and thoughts raced through her mind as her sister came into the room. "Luna, my dear sister, I assume you've felt the same dark energy?"
"Indeed we have." She said, still not accustomed to how the ponies of today talk. "So what do we do sister?"
"I don't know, this evil energy is unlike anything that I've ever felt before."
"We have never felt something like this either, what do you suppose it is?" Luna asked.
"I'm not sure, and without knowing what we're dealing with the two of us can't do anything." As much as she hated to admit it there was nothing the two sisters could do. They were dealing with an unknown threat, and that was scary.
The two sisters pondered the situation, trying to think of the best course of action. "Perhaps your student Twilight Sparkle will be able to assist us." The princess of the night suggested. Celestia looked at her sister with a soft smile.
"I already have. Twilight and her friends should be on their way here right now. They should be here soon." Celestia and Luna waited in the throne room until Twilight, Cyre, Broly and the others showed up and discussed everything.
"So what are we going to do?" The shy pony asked.
"We aren't going to be doing anything." He stated, making his friends turn towards him confused. "Me and Broly are going to go and take care of this, and I want you all to stay out of the way."
His comment offended his friends, except for Fluttershy. "What do ya mean, we can help ya." The honest earth pony stated.
"Yeah, with rainbow power nothing can stop us!" Rainbow exclaimed.
"We can do it all together! And then have a party afterwards!!! let's go!"
Before pinkie and the others could even take a few steps the Saiyans stopped them, showing them the serious looks on their faces as Cyre spoke again. "Listen, I know you want to help us but you can't. There's no way any of you would stand a chance, even with rainbow magic. I'm sorry but this is our fight and we'll be fighting alone!"
Almost everypony looked at him like he was crazy, having no idea why would they want to go alone? It made more sense to go as a group and handle it together. Plus it wouldn't take them as long if his friends were there with them.
"Cyre you have to let us help you, rainbow magic can do it!" The cyan pegasus protested.
"I'm sorry but my answer is final." He told them sternly.
'Phew, I don't have to fight any monsters.' Fluttershy was happy about that, she wasn't too keen on going out and battling scary monsters. Of course she didn't want him to go either, but if he wanted to go than she wouldn't try and stop them.
"These guys gave my fathers serious trouble back in the day, and were barely able to stop them. I know this from their stories. Please, you have to understand, this just isn't a battle you seven can survive, much less win." The other ponies hung their heads in disappointment. Did he not think they could help out? Sure they were nowhere near as powerful as him, or Broly, but that didn't mean they couldn't at least help him. And once again they had rainbow magic on their side, the most powerful weapon in all of Equestria. The power it had was capable of taking down any evil, no matter how strong... yet Cyre still didn't want them coming along.
"...But, you can't fight all of those meanies by yourself." The pink pony noted.
"Hey don't worry, I'm way stronger than them. I can take care of myself. Besides, Broly is coming to help me out too." He smiled before turning away. "And I wouldn't be able to forgive myself if anything happened to any of you."
They all smiled warmly at that comment, now understanding why he wanted to go alone. Plus he made some good points, the most prominent being that they would probably just get in the way. "Well if you're sure then I guess we can let you go, and we'll be here to monitor your progress." Twilight said as they all walked over to their Saiyan friend. "Good luck Cyre." She said with a smile on her face as she hugged his leg.
"Im pretty sure they know already, but do what you like." Cyre said.
Rarity gave him a hug, but much like her unicorn friend she could only hug his leg due to her size. "Take care of yourself out there."
"Be safe sugarcube." The honest earth pony said while also hugging his leg.
"Beat up those meanies for me!" Pinkie exclaimed which made him nod.
"Go get em!" Spike encouraged.
"Please try not to get injured." Celestia said solemnly.
"You can do this, Both of you can!" Starlight added.
He smiled. "shouldn't be too hard. I trained my whole life for this… huh… that's not a very long time now that I think about it…" It was then that he noticed the sad look on Rainbow's face. There was something wrong with her and the Saiyan could only guess what it was. "Could you excuse us for a second? I need to talk with rainbow."
They did as instructed and left the two of them alone.
"So what's wrong?"
She let out a long sigh. "I'm worried."
"Hey I'm sure Ponyville won't be attacked, and even if it is I can always come right back there. I've got instant transmission." Cyre spoke with confidence in his voice.
That wasn't what Rainbow was referring to. "I'm not worried about that... I'm worried that you won't come back." Rainbow admitted sadly.
Cyre couldn't help but notice how different she was acting right now. She seemed rather sad, almost like she could cry at any moment. Did she really have this much of an impact on Dash?
"I already told you I'll be fine, there's no way I can lose." Although he still sounded confident the mare had her doubts.
"You promise you'll be back?"
"Promise. On my saiyan pride." Cyre said with confidence.
The pink pony overheard them talking and decided to help put her friend's mind at ease. "Do you Pinkie Promise?"
The two of them turned towards Pinkie. Rainbow Dash smiled lightly, knowing full well the consequences of breaking a Pinkie Promise.
Her Saiyan friend hadn't heard of a Pinkie promise before, and just by looking at him she could tell that. So she decided to demonstrate. "Cross my heart and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye."
Cyre blinked twice in response; that was certainly a weird way to promise someone something. "Yes I Pinkie promise."
After he said that his worried friend flew up and gave him a hug. The Saiyan was caught off guard by this, not by the fact that she hugged him but because she flew up and gave it to him instead of hugging his leg. She must really like him. He stood there for a few moments before hesitantly hugging her back.
Their embrace lasted only a few seconds before he broke it off and took a few steps forward.
"Well I've wasted enough time, we should get going." He took one last look at all of them, and they all had looks of either concern or hope. His response to that was just to smile brightly.
Broly walked next to him and also smiled."We won't be gone too long."
Cyre and Broly flared their auras and took off for different locations. Rainbow Dash let out a sigh.
"Don't worry sugarcube, they'll be fine." Applejack was trying to comfort her friend, and it looked like it worked a little bit.
In the skies near the crystal empire, we find Cyre flying to the empire now. he was feeling a huge amount of dark magic and energy emanating from there, and when he actually arrived, it wasn't a pretty sight.
Everything was covered in dark crystals, which Cyre didn't even bother to touch... For reasons. His next goal was to find the source, and protect everypony, especially cadance, shining armor, and their foal... Whom he found locked in a cage with the other citizens.
Cyre rushed over to their surprise. "Hey, it's me, Cyre! What's going on here?" Shining weakly pointed up. "Watch... Out..."
Cyre jumped up and out of the way just as a blast of dark magic hit where he just was.
Cyre looked up to see a rather tall pony, commanding attention and respect through sheer intimidation.
Clad in dark, shadowy armor that seems to absorb the light around him, Sombra exudes an aura of malevolence and darkness. His armor is adorned with jagged spikes and intricate designs that evoke a sense of dread and foreboding. Each piece of his armor is meticulously crafted, reflecting his status as a powerful and ruthless ruler.
Sombra's mane is a deep, shadowy black, flowing around his face like a sinister shroud. His eyes, glowing with an icy blue light, pierce through the darkness with an unsettling intensity, betraying the darkness that lies within his soul. His gaze is cold and calculating, instilling fear in all who meet it.
A dark, twisted horn protrudes from his forehead, a symbol of his dark magic and his mastery over the forces of darkness. It crackles with dark energy, pulsing with power that is both awe-inspiring and terrifying.
Despite his intimidating appearance, there is an air of elegance and refinement about King Sombra. His movements are graceful yet purposeful as if every step he takes is calculated to instill fear and command obedience.
Cyre could guess as that was the guy who was causing all this, if not for the dark magic he was putting out. Believe it or not, Cyre was a little hesitant, but that quickly disappeared when he noticed that whatever it was wasn't on the pedestal anymore.
He quickly tried to sense him, but it felt like he was everywhere! It was impossible for him to track! Once he opened his eyes, he found the enemy... In his face. He jumped back and regrouped.
"Okay, weirdo. I don't know what you are, but you need to go. You need to go, like, NOW."
"My name, is Sombra. KING. Sombra. True ruler of the crystal empire, and master of the dark arts–" he was promptly interrupted by Cyre uppercutting and then punching him away.
"Sorry, but your stance there just screamed "attack", so I did. Plus, I felt a backstory coming on, and I don't want to hear about it. C'mon then "true king", you've barely spoken and yet I'm done hearing you praddle on. If you want me bowed at your feet, you'll have to do it by force."
Sombra was struggling, but managed to get up... And then he glared menacingly at Cyre.
"I don't have time for your taunting, you overgrown monkey. I JUST NEED YOU DEAD!!!" Sombra than charged a huge amount of dark magic and shot it at Cyre, and it hit dead on... Only when the dust cleared, Cyre was just sitting there, whistling and picking his fingernails.
Sombra couldn't believe it. That blast did absolutely nothing? That was one of his strongest attacks!
"That all you got Sombra? Ah well, at least you tried!" The next five minutes was a living hell battle for Sombra.
Well honestly, it wasn't really a battle, just Sombra being flopped and tossed around a lot. Painfully. King Sombra was barely able to stand up now, he was bleeding in three different places, and was sure that one of his ribs was broken. He barely noticed Cyre running up to him. He got into a defensive stance, before Cyre just dissapeared. "Where'd he go?"
The answer was the top of his head, as Cyre's weighted shoes were sitting right on top the dark king. Angrily, he shot all the power he could muster from his horn upwards, only for Cyre to disappear and reappear in front of him, and give him a heavy punch in the stomach, which made him cough up blood.
He stood there for a second before falling to the ground, barely alive. His body twitching and spasming constantly, making Cyre Almost want to vomit before he picked him up off the ground.
"Any last words, my grey, dark friend?" Sombra's response was to groan and make unintelligible noises.
"Well said. Good game." Cyre promptly placed a hand where Sombra's heart would be, and shot a galick gun right through, taking the rest of his stomach with him, killing him instantly.
Cyre dropped his lifeless body on to the ground... And then threw a dog treat at him. He then ki blasted the rest of his body into Oblivion. Cyre than got to work freeing cadance and the others. As much as he'd like to stay, he had to leave and get rid of the other enemies. He took off and then left the empire as they got rid of all the crystals, in search for his next foe.
Unknown to Cyre, he was being watched by Celestia and the others through a crystal ball Luna created. They honestly didn't know how to feel. Sure, sombra was evil, but he didn't deserve to be tourtured like that! Was this really how things worked on Cyre's home world? But then again, they weren't any better. They killed sombra as well when he tried to take the empire.
"Cyre certainly handles a situation with a lot of efficiency, doesn't he?" Celestia stated.
"True, his abilities as a warrior are simply impressive, you must admit that fact." Luna responded.
"Are you sure it was a good idea to let him go on his own like this?" Rainbow stated sadly.
"He'll be back, dash! Besides, he pinkie promised!" Pinkie stated.
Luna couldn't help but think of Cyre. As it stands, he barely knew any of them, her and her sister least of all. and yet now he was risking his life to keep her and the rest of the world safe. She wanted to help, as did everypony else, but she just wasn't powerful enough. All she could do was watch and hope for the best.
"Perhaps we should check on Broly, he is also out there fighting." Luna then changed the sight from Cyre to Broly.
Broly had arrived in Baltimare a few minutes ago, searching for anyone with a large power. Broly landed in the center of town, looked around and saw a few guard ponies and police ponies lying on the ground injured when he then heard a voice from behind.
"Well, aren't you just a big guy?" Broly quickly turns around and sees a group of five people wearing specialized Frieza force armor before he sees them start to pose and talk.
"Guldo!"
"Recoome!"
"Burter!"
"Jeice!"
"Ginyu!"
"Together we are… The Ginyu Force!" They did one final pose before they stared down Broly and got ready to fight. Broly just looked really confused, but quickly glared and got ready to fight himself. His eyes burned with intense, untamed energy, and his aura flared around him in a fierce green light, going into his ikari form.
Recoome, with his towering frame and a cocky grin, was the first to approach. "Let's see what you've got, big guy!" he taunted.
Without a word, Broly lunged forward, his speed belying his massive size. He struck Recoome with a powerful punch to the gut, with it being so fast and strong that it killed Recoome instantly, and he fell to the ground in a hump.
Jeice and Burter, the fastest members of the Ginyu Force, tried to flank Broly from both sides. They moved with blinding speed, aiming to overwhelm him. However, Broly's reflexes were sharp. He caught Jeice by the arm and slammed him into the ground, creating a crater before stomping down on his neck. Burter, attempting to capitalize on the distraction, was met with a devastating elbow to the face, sending him flying backward. He didn't have any time to recover as Broly shot a large mouth blast at him, consuming him entirely.
Guldo, using his time-stopping ability, tried to trap Broly in a psychic hold. For a moment, it seemed as though Broly was immobilized. But Broly's sheer willpower and raw energy shattered Guldo's hold. With a furious roar, Broly blasted Guldo away with a ki blast, the psychic warrior barely able to react before being engulfed in the explosion.
Captain Ginyu, observing the battle with a calculating eye, realized the threat Broly posed as his entire crew was easily killed. "This Saiyan... he's on a different level," he muttered. Deciding to take matters into his own hands, Ginyu powered up, his aura flaring brightly.
"Let's see if you can handle me, Saiyan!" Ginyu shouted, charging at Broly. Their clash was titanic, with shockwaves rippling through the air. Ginyu was a skilled fighter, his attacks precise and powerful. But Broly's rage-fueled strength was overwhelming.
With a powerful swing, Broly knocked Ginyu back, sending him skidding across the ground. Ginyu, realizing he was outmatched, tried to use his Body Change technique. "Change NOW!" he yelled, aiming to swap bodies with Broly. But Broly, sensing the danger, countered with a massive energy blast that disrupted the technique and blasted Ginyu into the sky. Broly gave chase as he started to charge up a gigantic omegastorm. First, Broly charges a green ball of ki in front of him. He then fires the attack by pushing his hands forward, unleashing a powerful green energy wave directly up against Ginyu, completely annihilating him. He then shot ki blasts downwards to destroy the bodies of Jeice and Reccome.
As the dust settled, the Ginyu Force was defeated. Broly floated back down to the street and stood amidst the destruction, his chest heaving with exertion, but his expression calm. The skies began to clear, and the sun's rays shone down on the victorious Saiyan.
The ponies of Equestria, watching from a safe distance, cheered for their unexpected hero.

PonyballzKai: Adventures In Equestria (Redone)
Clash of the Bio-Androids! Cell vs. Cyre, the Perfect Warrior!
Cyre's was now headed for Manehatten to the next dark energy. Although, this one felt odd, as its energy was almost an exact copy of... Luna's?
wanna see who has the best Kamehameha? Wanna see the power of dreams when they are raw? Vs! The strongest foe! No one but yourself holds you back!
(the title screen, Ponyball z: adventures in Equestria appears as it flies through Canterlot. Cyre is then seen flying by with Rainbow Dash, Princess Luna, Twilight Sparkle, and Fluttershy joining him.)
A fire burning in my veins, is breaking me out of my chains, and raising my power to the max...
(all of them flare their auras and fly away at high speeds, with cyre joining them a few moments later.the scene changes to seeing spike waving to them, along with the mane 6's friends and family.)
our paths filled with uncertainty, but look ahead then you will see, how we'll become, a part of history!
(King Sombra and queen chrysalis appear first. And behind them, Stonehenge appears, and in a flash, the pony of shadows appears. Rainbow then appears with green eyes similar to Sombra's, and Twilight and Rainbow are engaged in a fight.)
whem someone beats me up, I always get back up, my spirits always coming back, and now it's on the attack!
(Sombra is seen spreading crystals across Ponyville. A fused Saiyan of unknown origin appears and goes super saiyan. Twilight Sparkle and Luna are seen performing the fusion dance, as they fuse and smirk at the audience.)
jump on all your limits and perchance! Throw away your pain in a kind and loving dance! Gorgeous! I'm born again! In the Dragonballs lies the fate of all men!
(stygian is seen fighting twilight, and it switches to another unknown fusion with rainbow hair. Cyre is seen nodding and he goes super saiyan.)
wanna see who has the best Kamehameha? Wanna see the power of dreams when they are raw? vs! The future world! Our epic tail will be unfurled! Greater than the best!
(Cyre and chrysalis are now seen fighting. It then changes to a screen where he and his friends are in a fighting pose.)
Cyre landed in Manehatten to find everyone was off the streets, guessing they were hiding from whatever it was. Cyre decided to start his search at Town Square, not aware that he was being watched the whole time there.
Once he arrived, Cyre was searching for his foe, when he felt something forming behind him. As he jumped up, a beam of magic shot out of the same spot he was formerly in.
Once Cyre got a look over his enemy, he started to wonder if it and Luna were related.
"I have a question for you. Would you happen to know somepony called Princess Luna? Your energy is very similar to hers." Hearing that name made the dark alicorn scowl.
"DON'T MENTION THAT TRAITOR IN MY PRESENCE!!! And I am not Luna... I am Nightmare Moon!" She acquainted that with the signature evil laugh.
"Okay then nightmare moon, look at the ground, back to me. Now look back at the ground, back to me again. I'm flipping you off." Cyre was giving her the signature middle finger, which only made her angry. Nightmare Moon's eyes narrowed as she further took in the sight of Cyre, her voice now dripping with disdain. "You dare challenge and jest at me, mortal? You will know the true meaning of darkness!"
Cyre said nothing, but his aura flared around him, crackling with sharp, controlled energy. The ground beneath him cracked and shattered as his power surged. With a fierce cry, Nightmare Moon unleashed a barrage of dark magic bolts, each one aimed at the Saiyan warrior. Cyre, his reflexes honed from countless hours of training, dodged and deflected the attacks with ease, his movements a blur of speed and power. The bolts exploded harmlessly against the ground, sending plumes of smoke and debris into the air.
Enraged, Nightmare Moon conjured a massive vortex of dark energy, intending to engulf Cyre. The swirling mass of shadows and lightning bore down on him with tremendous force. But Cyre, undeterred, let out a thunderous roar and charged straight into the heart of the vortex. His aura flared brighter, pushing back the darkness as he powered through. The collision was cataclysmic. Cyre's energy clashed with Nightmare Moon's dark magic, creating a blinding explosion that lit up the sky. When the dust settled, Cyre emerged unscathed, his power surging even higher.
Nightmare Moon's eyes widened in disbelief. "Impossible! No one can withstand my power!"
Cyre's expression remained fierce and determined. He leaped into the air, his fists glowing with ki energy. With a powerful downward strike, he aimed directly at Nightmare Moon. She barely managed to raise a magical shield in time, but the force of Cyre's blow shattered it like glass, sending her crashing to the ground. Bruised and battered, Nightmare Moon struggled to her hooves. Desperation flickered in her eyes as she summoned all her remaining power, creating a massive, swirling sphere of dark magic above her head. "This ends now!" she screamed, hurling the sphere at Cyre with all her might.
Cyre met the attack head-on, his aura flaring to unimaginable heights. He raised his hands and unleashed a titanic Super Kamehameha, his roar echoing through the night. The two energies collided in mid-air, creating a violent shockwave that rippled across Manehattan. For a moment, it seemed as though the forces were evenly matched. But Cyre's power, fueled by his unyielding resolve and Saiyan might, began to overwhelm the dark magic. With a final, earth-shaking roar, Cyre's ki blast surged forward, consuming Nightmare Moon's attack and striking her with full force.
Nightmare Moon was enveloped in the blinding light, her screams of defiance drowned out by the roar of the energy. When the light finally faded, she was entirely gone, wiped away by her attack. Cyre stood victorious, his chest heaving with exertion. The sun casts down a warm glow on Manehatten. The ponies, who had watched the battle with bated breath, erupted into cheers and applause. They rushed to surround Cyre, their eyes filled with gratitude and awe as they cheered for him. Cyre nodded, a smile tugging at the corners of his lips. He then saw and heard another pony pointing to the sky, as something was quickly approaching. Cyre just smiled, as he knew it was Broly. Cyre had ponies move back to allow Broly to land next to him. As the ponies cheered, both Broly and Cyre sensed another presence. The last one left. with a nod, they take off together and start to fly towards the badlands.
The group of friends stands together next to the Crystal ball in the throne room of the two sisters watching Cyre and Broly fly and land in the Badlands. The tension in the air is palpable as they watch the two Saiyans start their search for their final enemy.
Pinkie Pie was bouncing slightly on her hooves, full of nervous energy. She knows that Cyre made a Pinkie Promise, but still, she just couldn't help but feel the pit in her stomach, the mall thought that he might not come back. "Do you think they'll be okay? They have to be okay! Right?"
Princess Celestia calmly placed a hoof on Pinkie's back to help ease her fears. "They have faced every challenge put before them and emerged victorious. We must have faith in their strength and determination."
Twilight Sparkle nodded in understanding but frowned. "We've seen them in action. They're incredibly powerful, but this dark presence... it feels different. More sinister."
Starlight Glimmer held her head down in thought before answering. " We should be ready to help them if they need it. Our magic might not be as strong as theirs, but together, we can make a difference."
Rainbow Dash was hovering above the ground with agitation and eagerness. "I wish I could go with them and fight! It’s so hard just standing here and watching."
Applejack pulled Rainbow Dash down, placing a hoof on Rainbow Dash's shoulder. "I know how you feel, sugarcube, but sometimes the best thing we can do is be here, ready and waitin’ if they need us."
Fluttershy nodded, before answering softly. "They know we’re here for them. Our friendship gives them strength, even if we can’t be there physically."
Rarity sighed dramatically with an exaggerated hoof movement to go with it. "I do hope they come back in one piece. It would be dreadful if anything were to happen to them, especially after all they’ve done for us."
Spike was glaring, clenching his claws. "I feel so useless just standing here. They’re out there risking everything, and we’re just… waiting."
Princess Luna turned to look at Spike sternly. "Do not underestimate the power of support, young Spike. Our thoughts and hopes are with them, and that is a powerful thing indeed. Besides, you are but a young drake, Spike. You would likely only get in the way, unfortunately.
Pinkie Pie suddenly got very serious as she popped up in between Spike and Princess Luna. "And when they get back, we’ll throw the biggest ‘You Saved Equestria!’ party ever!"
Twilight Sparkle laughed and smiled slightly, which helped relieve the tension just a little bit more. "That sounds like a great idea, Pinkie. They deserve something special after all of this."
Rainbow Dash flew upwards, doing a few stunts and pumping her hoof in the air. "And we’ll make sure it’s the most awesome party ever!"
Applejack nodded alongside the others. "I’ll whip up some special treats from Sweet Apple Acres. They’ll need a good meal after all that fightin’."
Fluttershy was smiling too as she moved her hooves through her mane. "I’ll make sure there’s a quiet spot for them to rest. They’ll need some peace after everything."
Rarity looked determined as she pulled out some scissors and yarn. "And I’ll create the most fabulous decorations and outfits for the occasion."
Spike was smiling as he stood next to Twilight. "I can help with whatever you need. They’ll know how much they mean to us."
Princess Celestia smiled as she spoke softly with grace. "Your plans are wonderful. It’s important to show our gratitude and support, not just in battle but in celebration as well."
Princess Luna sighs before looking towards the crystal ball "Let us keep vigil and be ready for their return. Our strength lies in our unity and the bonds we share."
As the friends stand together, watching the ball where Cyre and Broly are front and center, they draw strength from each other, knowing that their support and friendship are the foundations upon which true victory is built.
In the vast, arid expanse of the Badlands, three formidable figures faced off under the scorching sun. The air crackled with energy as Cyre, who essentially was an updated model of Cell, stood opposite his predecessor, the bio-android Cell. The desert wind howled, swirling sand around them as they prepared for a battle that would shake the very foundations of the planet. Broly stood on the sidelines, ready to step in if he needed to.
Cell, his green and black exoskeleton glinting in the sunlight, smirked confidently. "So, you're the new and improved version of me? Let's see if you live up to the hype."
Cyre, with his sleek design and enhanced features, remained calm. His eyes, glowing with determination, locked onto Cell. "I've been created to surpass you in every way, Cell. You've been gone for years on end. So much has happened that you can't possibly comprehend it all."
Cell, with his sinister smirk and confident posture, chuckled darkly. His tail flicked behind him, betraying his inner amusement and excitement at the challenge presented by Cyre. He stepped forward, the ground beneath him cracking under the pressure of his immense power.
Cell spoke, his voice dripping with arrogance. "Oh, Cyre, you naive little creation. Do you think your shiny new features and enhancements can truly make you superior to me? I've been crafted from the greatest warriors in the universe, perfected to an unparalleled degree."
Cell's eyes, a mixture of malice and curiosity, bore into Cyre's determined gaze. He spread his arms wide as if to welcome the impending battle.
"Gone for years, you say? Time is irrelevant to a being of my caliber. While I've been dormant, I've still evolved. The universe may have changed, but the essence of power remains the same. You think I can't comprehend what's happened? I see it in your eyes, in the way you stand. You're filled with hope and conviction, yet there's a flicker of doubt. Deep down, you know the truth."
He took another step forward, his aura flaring briefly with a sinister energy that sent shivers down the spines of those watching.
"You were created to surpass me, but mere enhancements and new designs are not enough. True power comes from experience, from the depths of battle-hardened resolve. Show me, Cyre. Show me if you truly are my superior, or if you’re just another failed experiment." Cell's smile widened into a predatory grin, his eyes gleaming with anticipation.
Cyre, his eyes glowing with a cold, unwavering resolve, stood firm in the face of Cell's arrogance. His form radiated a calm confidence, contrasting sharply with Cell's menacing demeanor.
Cyre answered back, his voice steady and resolute. "Cell, your arrogance is your greatest weakness. You may have been crafted from the greatest warriors of your time, but times have changed, and so has the definition of power."
He took a step forward, the ground beneath him responding to his controlled yet immense energy, mirroring the cracks created by Cell's power.
"While you were dormant, the universe continued to evolve. New warriors have emerged, new techniques have been perfected, and new technologies have been developed. I am the culmination of all these advancements. My design isn't just about shiny new features; it's about integrating the wisdom and experience of countless battles fought since your time."
Cyre's aura began to shimmer, a brilliant display of controlled power that pulsed with the energy of countless warriors and the lessons of countless battles.
"You speak of experience and battle-hardened resolve. Understand this: I carry the knowledge of every battle fought by those who came after you. I've been built to adapt, to learn, and to surpass. You may have been perfect in your era, but perfection is a moving target, always advancing, always evolving."
He locked eyes with Cell, the determination in his gaze unyielding.
"I was created to surpass you, and I will prove it. Not just with enhancements and new designs, but with the strength that comes from understanding the essence of true power: the ability to grow beyond one's limits."
Cyre's aura flared, matching the intensity of Cell's, but with a controlled precision that spoke of his superior design and purpose.
"So come, Cell. Show me the limits of your so-called perfection. And I'll show you what it means to truly evolve beyond them."
With that, Cyre's stance shifted, ready for the impending battle. The tension in the air was electric as the two titans prepared to clash, each determined to prove their dominance. The watchers held their breath, knowing that this battle would redefine the very concept of power. Cell and Cyre were just steps away from each other as Cell laughed.
"Let's see if you can prove your worth, or if you'll simply fall like all the others who dared to challenge perfection."
Cyre looked at Cell with a smirk. "As you wish. But please, try to do better than last time when you fought a mere child and lost."
Cell's smirk faltered for a brief moment, replaced by a flash of anger in his eyes. He quickly regained his composure, his expression turning even more sinister as he glared at Cyre.
Cell's voice became cold and venomous "Ah, resorting to mockery, are we? How amusing. Do you think bringing up my defeat by Gohan will rattle me? I've learned from that encounter, and grown stronger because of it during my time in hell. But don't mistake my past defeat for weakness, Cyre. It was a lesson, a catalyst for my evolution. I was brought down by a child's hidden potential, but that only made me more dangerous. You see, my power isn't just about brute strength; it's about adaptability, cunning, and a relentless drive to overcome any obstacle."
Cell's eyes locked onto Cyre's, filled with a burning determination.
"You, on the other hand, are nothing more than an attempt to replicate what I am. An updated version, you say? An improvement? Prove it. Show me that your creators did more than just give you a polished exterior and a few new tricks."
He raised a hand, energy building in his palm, the air around him crackling with anticipation.
"But know this, Cyre: I am not the same being you read about in history. I have evolved, and I will continue to evolve. My defeat at Gohan's hands was merely a chapter in my story. You will find that defeating me now is not as simple as you might hope."
Cell's aura exploded outward, a palpable wave of power that made the ground tremble beneath them.
No more words were exchanged as the two bio-androids launched at each other, Cyre going super saiyan as he charged forward. their movements were a blur as they exchanged a flurry of punches and kicks. Each strike sent shockwaves through the desert, causing the ground to tremble. They were evenly matched, their power and speed almost identical. The battle raged on, neither giving an inch, their attacks creating craters in the sand and sending clouds of dust into the air.
The jagged rocks and vast empty spaces provided the perfect arena for a clash of titans. As Cyre and Cell faced off, their auras flared with vibrant energy, illuminating the harsh landscape around them. In the distance, Broly stood on a rocky outcrop, his eyes fixed intently on the battle unfolding before him, muscles tensed, ready to intervene if necessary.
Cyre had a confident smirk on his face. "Let’s see how you handle this, Cell!"
With a burst of speed, Cyre charged forward, his fists glowing with energy. He unleashed a rapid flurry of punches and kicks, each strike aimed with precision. Cell parried and countered, the two engaging in a lightning-fast exchange of blows that sent shockwaves through the ground beneath them.
Cell simply grinned. "Is that all you’ve got?"
Cell jumped back, raising his hands to his forehead as he prepared his iconic attack. "Solar Flare!"
A blinding light exploded from Cell, momentarily disorienting Cyre. Taking advantage of the moment, Cell gathered energy in his hand, forming a destructo disc. "Take this!"
Cell hurled the disc towards Cyre, who quickly recovered and dodged with a hair's breadth to spare. The disc sliced through a nearby boulder, reducing it to rubble. "Not bad. But try this on for size!"
Cyre’s hands moved in a familiar motion, drawing energy to his palms. "Kamehameha!"
A brilliant blue beam shot forth from Cyre’s hands, roaring towards Cell with tremendous force. Cell quickly mirrored the motion, unleashing his own Kamehameha to meet Cyre’s attack. The two beams collided in a spectacular display of power, creating a swirling vortex of energy at the point of impact.
Broly was watching the battle intently. "Their power… it’s incredible."
The ground trembled and the sky darkened as the energy clash continued. With a roar, Cell poured more power into his beam, pushing Cyre back slightly. "You're strong, Cyre, but not strong enough!"
Cyre’s eyes narrowed, his determination unshaken. With a burst of energy, he pushed back, the beams shifting in his favor. The explosion that followed sent both warriors skidding backward, leaving a massive crater between them.
Cyre was panting, his hands balled up into fists. "I’m not done yet!"
Cyre raised his hands above his head, gathering energy into a massive, swirling sphere. "Spirit Bomb!"
The glowing orb grew larger as Cyre absorbed energy from the environment around him. Cell, recognizing the threat, prepared his countermeasure, charging up his ultimate attack. "You won’t get the chance! Death Beam Barrage!"
Cell’s fingers glowed as he launched a rapid series of piercing beams towards Cyre. With deft movements, Cyre dodged and deflected the beams, maintaining focus on his Spirit Bomb. As the Spirit Bomb reached its peak, Cyre hurled it towards Cell. In response, Cell unleashed a colossal energy wave, the two forces colliding in mid-air. The explosion that followed was cataclysmic, shaking the entire Badlands and sending a shockwave that could be felt miles away.
As the dust settled, both warriors stood panting, their energy reserves visibly drained but their spirits unbroken.
Cyre was smiling brightly, having a great deal of fun. "You’re tougher than I thought, Cell."
Cell was grinning right back at Cyre. "And you’re not as weak as I assumed. This is far from over."
From the sidelines, Broly’s eyes gleamed with excitement and anticipation. The battle was far from over, and as he watched Cyre and Cell prepare for the next round, he knew he was witnessing a clash that would push both to their absolute limits.
Cyre quickly stood tall and started to yell as his hair spiked even further upwards as sparks of electricity appeared around him. Cyre has moved up to Super Saiyan 2. Cell responded in kind, unleashing his full power as the two re-engaged. But Cell found that his power was severely lacking now, as Cyre was running circles around him as he dodged or tanked everything Cell threw at him, while Cyre's attacks were devastating with each hit draining his energy before he found it difficult to stand up. Cyre landed close by as he started to walk towards Cell, the same way Gohan had all those years ago.
Cell struggled to his feet, his body trembling from the sheer force of Cyre's relentless assault. His once confident smirk was replaced by a look of frustration and disbelief. Every attack he launched was either dodged or absorbed by Cyre's enhanced form, now radiating the fierce power of Super Saiyan 2.
Cell was gasping for breath, eyes wide with anger. "Impossible... How can this be? I am perfection! I was supposed to be the ultimate warrior!"
Cyre continued his slow, deliberate approach, his eyes locked onto Cell with an intensity that sent chills down the bio-android's spine. Sparks of electricity crackled around Cyre, illuminating his determined face.
Cyre's voice is calm but filled with resolve, despite his now overwhelming power. "Times have changed, Cell. Your era of dominance is over. You were the ultimate warrior once, but evolution has left you behind."
Cell attempted to summon more power, but his energy reserves were nearly depleted. He tried to stand firm, but his legs wobbled, and he fell to one knee, panting heavily.
Cell tried to hide the desperation creeping into his voice, but it was useless. "No... I refuse to be defeated by an imitation! I am the culmination of the greatest fighters in the universe!"
Cyre stopped a few steps away from Cell, looking down at him with a mixture of pity and determination. "As I said before our battle started Cell, your arrogance blinded you. You never understood the true essence of power. It's not just about raw strength or stolen abilities; it's about growth, adaptation, and the will to surpass one's limits."
Cell's eyes flickered with a mix of rage and desperation as he looked up at Cyre. "I... I won't accept this!"
With a final, desperate effort, Cell launched himself at Cyre, his hand glowing with energy for one last attack. But Cyre, with his enhanced reflexes and superior power, easily sidestepped the attack and delivered a powerful punch to Cell's midsection, sending him crashing to the ground. Cell lay on the ground, his body battered and broken, his energy completely drained. He looked up at Cyre, who stood over him with an air of finality.
"It's over, Cell. Your time has passed. Now it's time for a new era." With those words, Cyre raised his hand, a glowing orb of energy forming in his palm. Cell's eyes widened in fear and disbelief as he realized the end was near.
Cell's voice was weak, filled with regret. "I... I was supposed to be perfect... But that is something I can look forward to... you being obsolete in time! Do you think that you're immune to technology yourself? you'll be in the same position as me one day... New fighters, new methods. if I'm not perfect, then neither of us will be!"
Cyre looked down at the fallen Cell, his expression a mixture of pity and understanding. He knew that, despite Cell's arrogance and malice, there was a kernel of truth in his words. Cyre's aura flickered as he maintained his Super Saiyan 2 form, still glowing with the residual energy of their fierce battle.
Cyre's voice was steady and thoughtful. "You’re right, Cell. No one stays at the top forever. The universe is always evolving, and new fighters and new methods will always emerge. Perfection is not a state of being; it's a continuous journey."
He paused, letting the weight of his words sink in, both for Cell and for himself. The wind rustled through the barren landscape, carrying away the remnants of their explosive confrontation.
"But that's the difference between you and me. You believed in a static perfection, an ultimate form that could never be surpassed. I understand that true strength comes from the willingness to adapt, to learn, and to grow beyond one's limits. One day, I may find myself in a position similar to yours, faced with a new generation of warriors who are stronger and more advanced. But I won't fear that day, because I know that the essence of true power lies in embracing change and striving to become better. If nothing else, I enjoyed our battle. Now go back into the past. where you belong."
Cyre unleashed the orb, a final blast of energy that engulfed Cell, ending his reign of terror once and for all. As the dust settled, Cyre stood tall, his aura gradually fading as he powered down from his Super Saiyan 2 form. Broly floated down to the battlefield with a newfound respect for Cyre. The battle had proven that true strength came not just from power, but from the ability to evolve and overcome any challenge.
As the sun set over the horizon, casting a golden glow over the desert, Cyre and Broly walked away from the battlefield, their mission accomplished. The first threat that they had faced together had been eradicated, and Cyre had proven himself as the ultimate warrior, a protector of peace in the universe. Cyre walked up to Broly and gave him a firm nod of approval.
"you did a good job today Broly. Baltimare is safe thanks to you. Now let's get back to Canterlot. I'm sure our friends are eager to see us again in person..." Cyre patted Broly on the shoulder as he took off to fly back to Canterlot, expecting Broly to follow.
Broly stood there for a moment, absorbing Cyre's words. The praise from his friend and the knowledge that Baltimare was safe filled him with a sense of accomplishment he hadn't felt in a long time. He nodded silently, a rare smile breaking across his face as he watched Cyre take off into the sky. "Thank you, Cyre. I'm glad I could help."
With a deep breath, Broly powered up and launched himself into the air, following Cyre back towards Canterlot. As he flew, thoughts of his friends waiting for him there filled him with a sense of warmth and belonging that he had never experienced before.
Broly Thought to himself privately. "Friends... I never thought I'd have friends like these."
With renewed determination, Broly soared through the sky, eager to reunite with his friends in Canterlot and continue his journey of growth and discovery alongside them.
As Cyre and Broly approached Canterlot Castle, they could sense the excitement in the air. The streets were filled with ponies going about their day, but there was an undercurrent of anticipation that seemed to ripple through the crowd.
Cyre turned to look at Broly to ask something as they flew over town. "Do you feel that, Broly? Something seems different."
"Yeah, it's like everyone is... happy?" Broly responded. After all, only a few hours ago, Equestria was under attack. so it just seemed odd as the 180 in terms of emotion was strange to them both.
Their curiosity was piqued, and Cyre and Broly quickened their pace, eager to uncover the source of the excitement. As they landed at the grand entrance of Canterlot Castle, the doors swung open, before they walked into the throne room, revealing a dazzling sight before them.
The throne room was transformed into a festive celebration, adorned with colorful banners, streamers, and twinkling lights. The tables were laden with delicious treats and refreshments, and the air was filled with the sounds of laughter and joy.
Cyre's eyes widened in surprise while Broly jumped up slightly in shock. "What... what's all this?"
Before they could even process what was happening, their friends burst into cheers and applause, surrounding them with smiles and hugs.
Twilight Sparkle looked up to them excitedly. "Surprise! Welcome back, Cyre, Broly!"
Pinkie Pie bounced over to the three of them. "We made a party to celebrate your return and all the amazing things you've done!"
Rainbow Dash: "You guys rocked it out there! Baltimare, Manehatten, and Ponyville are safe thanks to you!"
Fluttershy hugged Broly and Cyre tightly. "We're so proud of you both."
Cyre and Broly stood there, stunned and overwhelmed by the outpouring of love and appreciation from their friends. Despite their initial confusion, the warmth of the moment enveloped them, filling their hearts with gratitude and joy.
As the festivities in the throne room of Canterlot Castle continued, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna stepped forward, their regal presence commanding the attention of everyone in the room. The cheerful chatter gradually quieted down as all eyes turned to the rulers of Equestria.
"My little ponies, esteemed guests, we gather here today not only to celebrate but also to express our deepest gratitude to two extraordinary individuals," Celestia stated, Her voice was gentle yet filled with sincerity, carrying through the room a sense of solemnity that demanded respect.
"Indeed. Cyre and Broly, you have faced great peril and overcome immense challenges to ensure the safety of Equestria and its inhabitants." Princess Luna's voice echoed softly, conveying the gravity of the situation and the significance of their actions.
Cyre and Broly stood before the princesses, their expressions humble yet determined, as they listened to the words of thanks.
"Your courage, strength, and unwavering dedication to protecting our land have not gone unnoticed. You have shown true heroism in the face of adversity, and for that, we are eternally grateful." Celestia said to them both
"Indeed, your actions have saved not only Equestria but also countless lives. You have proven yourselves to be true champions, worthy of admiration and respect." as Princess Luna finished speaking, Cyre and Broly bowed their heads respectfully, deeply moved by the princesses' words of appreciation.
Cyre was the first to speak, followed by Broly. "Thank you, Princess Celestia, Princess Luna. It was an honor to fight for the safety and well-being of Equestria. Besides, this is my new home. Can't have it be destroyed while I'm here, can I?"
"Yeah, thanks..."
Princess Celestia and Princess Luna exchanged a glance, a subtle smile playing on their lips as they looked upon the heroes standing before them.
"Your bravery and selflessness serve as an inspiration to us all. Equestria is fortunate to have allies like you in times of need."
"Indeed. May your courage continue to shine bright, guiding us through whatever challenges may lie ahead."
With a nod of appreciation, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna stepped back, allowing the celebrations to resume. The room erupted once again with cheers and applause, the gratitude and admiration for Cyre and Broly echoing throughout the castle walls. At that moment, Cyre and Broly knew that their efforts had not been in vain and that their bond with Equestria and its inhabitants was stronger than ever before.
As the party continued around them, Cyre and Broly joined in the festivities, surrounded by the laughter and camaraderie of their friends. In that moment, they knew that no matter what challenges lay ahead, they would always have each other and the unwavering support of those who cared for them. But after all of this, one question remained: what had caused the attack?
???
in the depths of another faraway realm, someone was watching the festivities unfolding in the throne room of Canterlot Castle. Their presence exuded an aura of malevolence, their eyes gleaming with a sinister intensity as they observed the celebration with disdain.
Beside them stood their loyal right-hand man, a sinister individual whose allegiance was unwavering and whose loyalty knew no bounds. His features were twisted in a cruel glare as he watched the scene unfold, reveling in the chaos and merriment that seemed to mock their very existence.
whoever the leader was, their voice was dripping with malice. "Fools, all of them. Celebrating their victory as if it means anything." Their voice was cold and filled with contempt, a stark contrast to the joyous sounds emanating from the throne room.
Right-Hand Man answered in agreement "Indeed. They are blind to the true power that lies beyond their realm of understanding."
His voice was smooth and sinister, a perfect echo of his master's dark intentions.
the leader's eyes narrowed on Cyre and Broly. "But soon, they will learn the folly of their ways. Soon, they will tremble before the might of our wrath."
With a wave of their hand, the evil being enlarged the viewing screen, through which they could observe the celebrations with greater clarity. Their gaze lingered on Cyre and Broly, their expressions twisted in scorn and hatred.
"What shall be our next move?"
the leader's voice dripping with anticipation "Patience, my loyal servant. The time for action will come soon enough. the damage energy they gave to us through our battles was incredible, but it's not enough yet to accomplish our goal. For now, let them revel in their false sense of security. It will make their eventual downfall all the more satisfying."
As the evil being and their right-hand man continued to watch the celebration unfold, a sense of foreboding hung heavy in the air. For amidst the joy and laughter of the festivities, darkness lurked just beyond the horizon, waiting to unleash its wrath upon the unsuspecting inhabitants of Equestria.

PonyballzKai: Adventures In Equestria (Redone)
Journey into the Everfree! The Discovery of Sunny Town!
Another week rolled by for our two Saiyans, Broly, and Cyre, as they flew over Everfree forest. The both of them had just finished training in a remote area there. Cyre had used some of his goo to create some clones of himself to see how well they could handle multiple well-trained opponents simultaneously. While the training kept their skills sharp and their minds clear, both of them could only gain so much. Cyre was pretty much at his limit now with super Saiyan god but wasn't quite ready for the leap to blue due to not being able to combine the two for the time being, and Broly didn’t need to learn too many new transformations, since he was already plenty strong enough naturally, and it only improved through training with Cyre. The only way that either of them could get any stronger is if they tried to kill each other, but neither of them was going to push it that far. Soon though, the two Saiyans got tired of flying and decided to just take a stroll through Everfree forest.
On the way, both Cyre and Broly were relatively quiet, although they couldn’t help but shake the feeling they were being watched... But nopony was here with them. That’s when Cyre looked to his right... And saw a filly staring at them?
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.)
Cyre was very, VERY confused. Was was a filly doing out here in the Everfree forest? Cyre quickly got Broly’s attention, and he was just as surprised as Cyre as he also saw the mystery filly. Whoever it was, she had a grey coat, a golden mane, a magnifying glass... And completely golden eyes? Before either of them could comment on that, the filly noticed the stares she was receiving and quickly fled. Cyre quickly followed, Broly right behind him. What neither Saiyans noticed as they chased the filly, the forest was getting denser and darker. Eventually, it got to the point where Cyre had to use a ki ball to light the way.
When it got far enough, the only thing they could see was the light that the ki ball provided. Everything else was pitch black, even nearby trees couldn’t be seen by Cyre and Broly’s enhanced vision. Both Saiyans stared at each other in slight apprehension. Normally, Cyre would use instant transmission, but he couldn’t sense any pony’s ki. This was starting to get weird! Both Saiyans steeled themselves and pressed onwards. They weren't going to get scared by this! If they did, they would've both died long before this.
They both decided to walk straight forward until they found something or someone there. They then spotted a hole of light straight ahead. Both Saiyans reached it and found a thriving town full of ponies. The entire town was illuminated by large pink party lanterns strung all over. To their left were multiple garden plots filled with vegetables and wheat. On the right was a long line of tables overflowing with all sorts of confections and drinks. Right in front of them stood a stallion. He was colored grey with a black mane and tail. The Saiyans trotted up to him, immediately noticing his eager smile at her approach.
“Hah ha…Well hello there newcomers. Welcome to Sunny Town!” The stallion greeted them cheerfully, while both Saiyans gave a forced smile.
“Umm, thank you but…just who are you anyway?” Cyre asked, thinking he should at least learn the pony’s name before continuing. Cyre is the one who would do most of the talking, whereas Broly would sit back for most of it.
“Ah, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Grey Hoof, party planner extraordinaire! You’ve arrived just in time actually, the party just started! Feel free to help yourself to anything, make yourself right at home.” Grey Hoof replied.
“A party?”
“Why yes! Today we’re celebrating the town’s founding anniversary. You’re more than welcome to join us too. Have some food and drink; enjoy yourself!” Grey Hoof never broke his smile the entire conversation and it disturbed Cyre slightly. He wished to ask more questions but Grey Hoof turned away, cutting him off. He trotted over to a stool by a pole to tie up more lanterns. Cyre’s eyes went wide as he got a look at his flanks; he had no cutie mark! Hundreds of questions started buzzing in both Saiyan's minds as he took a step back.
"Why doesn’t he have a cutie mark? … Is that even possible? This guy looks almost as old as Big Macintosh, there’s no way he could have gone all that time without finding his special talent, could he? And look, he’s really good at parties…shouldn’t he have a mark for that like Pinkie Pie?" Cyre openly thought. Broly didn't have an answer for it either.
Cyre shook his head, deciding to ask Grey Hoof more after he figured out just where in the woods they were. Both Saiyans turned to the tables, looking at the cupcakes as their stomachs growled loudly. Neither Saiyan had anything to eat since they trained. Not being ones to snub hospitality, both Saiyans nabbed a cake from one of the plates and took a big bite.
"ACK!! TTthhhhbbbbbtth! "
Both Saiyans sputtered in disgust as they spit the pastries out. It may have looked decadent, but it tasted like mold and dust. They quickly gulped a glass of punch, trying to wash away the awful taste.
"Uagghhh!"
The punch was bitter and flat like it had sat there for years. They threw the cups to the ground in disgust. The Saiyans truly wished they weren't such food addicts, and that they didn't have such sensitive taste buds at the moment. Out of the corner of his eye, Cyre noticed another pony sitting on the ground near his table. She was looking off toward one of the houses with a longing expression; her orange mane shadowing her white face and giving her a mournful appearance. At first, Cyre thought he had upset her with his commotion, but was soon corrected.
"He hasn’t said a word to me all night…" the pony sighed, looking longingly to the side. He said nothing, what could he say? He didn’t know who "He" was. Cyre and Broly followed the new pony’s line of sight, spotting a home where a cream-colored colt with a blue mane was sitting on a stoop. 'Ah, that must be the "He"', he thought.
"Why don’t you go talk to him then?" Cyre offered. The mare looked up at her.
“Oh no no no, it wouldn’t be proper.” The mare responded with a hint of distress in her voice, almost as if doing that would break some law. She reminded Cyre of Rarity.
“What do you mean? Can’t you just say ‘hi’ like a normal pony? ”
The white mare shook her head, drooping back down. “You’re too young to understand…”
"What do you mean too young? I'm 19 years old... physically and mentally anyway, not chronologically though..." Cyre stamped a foot in annoyance. He hated being told that! Too young, his ass! If he was too young, then why was he enlisted in a fight for his universe just hours after his birth? If this one wasn’t going to talk, maybe the stallion would. Curiosity forced Cyre to peek at the white pony’s flank nonchalantly before moving on.
“No mark again…strange…”
Cyre approached the cream-colored pony. He gazed up at him with the same longing look as the last one.
“Oh, hello…” He said, deflated.
“Hi, who are you…and what’s wrong?” Cyre just got right to the point.
“My name is Roneo, and…ugh…see that mare over there?” He pointed a hoof toward the white pony from a moment ago. “Her name is Starlet, and I was planning to give her a gift tonight, but somehow I lost track of it! Now it’s lost somewhere in the town and I won’t be able to give it to her. It was so pretty too…” Roneo trailed off, sighing and hanging his head. Cyre rolled his eyes in annoyance at the pathetic stallion.
“She seems to want to talk to you. Why don’t you just go say ‘hi’?”
“Oh no, I couldn’t do that, not without my gift.”
“But she just told me she wanted you to talk to her. I’m sure she doesn’t care about a crummy old gift.”
“Please, don’t toy with me. Starlet is the classiest mare in town; a plain pony like me doesn’t stand a chance with her unless I bring a trump card. Please, leave me alone…”
"I'm gaining the impression you're going to be difficult." cyre said.
"Well, if you have a problem with me, you can call 1-800-eat-a-dick. Now leave me alone, please..." Roneo said.
"AS FAR AS I'VE SEEN, YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE THOSE!!!" Cyre shouted.
Cyre wanted to press further, but the stallion wouldn’t respond. With a huff he walked off deeper into town, leaving the love-sick pony to wallow in his grief, and Broly, who was making conversation with other ponies to try and get info, despite the inefficiency of his speaking skills. Perhaps he’d come back later if he felt like it, but for now, he wanted to see more of the town.
Cyre passed by a few more groups of ponies, all of them enjoying their party. Something wasn’t right though. Every single pony in this town appeared to have no cutie mark. Cyre wanted desperately to know why. He spotted another stallion standing alone near the town’s well. He was light brown with a tan-colored mane. He ran up to him. He wore a smile on his face similar to Grey Hoof’s.
“Excuse me,” Cyre tried to ask nicely, “Why don’t any of you have any cutie marks? This whole town is full of blank flanks!” The stallion chuckled to himself as he regarded the young adult Saiyan.
“Cutie-whats-its? Hehe, I really don’t know what you’re talking about big guy. My name is Gladstone by the way…Nice to meet you!” Gladstone spoke with the same weirdly happy tone as Grey Hoof, it made Cyre uncomfortable. It almost felt like this happiness was forced as if the stallion was trying to hide his real emotions. Cyre stared him down, trying to sense the stress of any kind in his energy. He still wasn't able to sense any energy, so he tried and tried, but no luck. Cyre grunted in frustration.
“Oh come on, you know what a cutie mark is! It’s the special mark everypony receives when they find out what makes ‘em special. Do none of you have them here?” Cyre’s prying was starting to get the better of Gladstone. Beads of sweat were forming on his brow as his eyes darted away from him for a moment.
“Aanope. Can’t say I’ve ever seen anypony here with a ‘cutie mark’.” The cheerfulness in Gladstone’s voice cracked at this last statement. “Why does that even matter anyway? C’mon, have some fun! It’s a party after all!”
With that, Gladstone turned tail and galloped away, ending Cyre’s interrogation. He watched as he ran for the safety of a herd of ponies by a table. Before he could slip away completely Cyre noticed something strange on his flanks. It wasn’t a cutie mark though; it looked more like a nasty burn or gash.
Cyre's brow furrowed with a mix of frustration and contemplation. He moved on, new questions now needing answers as he spotted another lone pony. This one was colored green with dark green hair and was sitting by the edge of the forest. She looked earthy. Cyre decided this time he’d be less direct as he trotted up for questions.
“Hello, I'm Cyre, a Saiyan from Earth. and I didn’t know there was an entire town of ponies living in the middle of the Everfree Forest.” he forced a smile, trying his best to seem as innocent as he could. Not exactly easy when you are over six feet tall and can destroy galaxies with a flick of a finger. not that she needed to know that. The green mare giggled and patted Cyre on the left leg with a hoof.
“Well, you’re not the first visitor to say that little one. My name’s Three Leaf. We’ve got just about everything we need here in our town, so we rarely ever leave. Visitors are so nice when they manage to come by though, and they too rarely leave once they arrive. How are you enjoying it here?” Three Leaf seemed to be really nice, so Cyre continued.
“Oh, you guys are all so nice, and the food was delicious!” he lied, “but I was wondering… I couldn’t help but notice none of you have any cutie marks…why is that? And stop calling me little one! I'm 19 years old!”
“Cutie marks? What are those? And sorry for getting your age mixed up!” Three Leaf tilted her head, smiling quizzically. Cyre sighed, his efforts wasted. Well, not completely wasted, as he did get his age cleared up.
“Uh…never mind.” Cyre decided to drop the question, expecting to receive the same response as before. Instead, he moved to a new one, “How about that guy,” he pointed to Gladstone, “What happened to his flanks?” Three Leaf’s happy demeanor held, but Cyre noticed her eye twitch ever so slightly, and it made Cyre slightly nervous.
“Ooh…Gladstone? Well…you know…he’s very clumsy.” Three Leaf’s ditzy air had faltered into an anxious stammer. Cyre scowled at her as she stumbled on. “And…and…Oh! Yes, he was fixing the old well on the outer rim of the town. He’s probably the best repair stallion we have. But…He slipped and cut himself on a jagged rock in the wall of the well. He bled quite a bit but thankfully somepony found him. He couldn’t walk for a month.” Three Leaf finished, her face returning to a goofy grin.
“He’s a good repair pony huh, then why hasn’t he gotten a cutie mark for that?” Cyre didn’t miss a beat. Three Leaf seemed to shrink from the question as Cyre gave her a penetrating glare, the same one he gave garble. It made Three Leaf start to buckle.
“And what about those visitors you mentioned earlier, did they all arrive here without any marks? I highly doubt it.” Cyre had barraged Three Leaf with so many inquiries he had pushed her to the tree line. Three Leaf had lost any remaining air of light-heartedness, her back now pressed fully against a tree trunk as Cyre stared her down. Three Leaf’s eyes darted back and forth, taking a moment to look around. With a hefty sigh, Three Leaf motioned Cyre closer and spoke to him almost in a whisper.
"Look, you won’t like what might happen if you keep digging. The curse marks are evil, and no one in the town is allowed to discuss them. I could get in trouble for even mentioning them to you—“
“Oh, Three Leaf, would you mind giving me a hoof with these party lanterns please?”
Grey Hoof had appeared behind the pair carrying some more pink lanterns on his back. His face held a smile his eyes didn’t share. Three Leaf immediately stood, backing away from Cyre.
“Of course, Grey Hoof, think nothing of it. I was just talking with our little visitor here, but we can always continue the conversation later.” Three Leaf mumbled weakly, following Grey Hoof away. Before they got out of sight Cyre clearly saw Grey Hoof shooting daggers at Three Leaf. He hoped he hadn’t just gotten her into too much trouble, she seemed like a decent mare. Sighing, Cyre wandered over to the well in the middle of town. Hopping onto a rock near its base, Cyre slumped onto the well’s edge in despair, having even more questions than he knew what to do with now.
What in Kami's name were curse marks? Is that what this town thought a cutie mark was…a curse? Cyre was sure that had to be the correlation. “Curse mark,” “cutie mark,” the two sounded far too similar. There was also no way this town could have been inhabited by only blank flanks; some in the town had to have gotten a cutie mark at some point, but what became of them?
Cyre began to wonder what the town might have done with ponies who found their marks. Seeing as they called them “curse marks,” he couldn’t imagine the reaction was good. Maybe they sent them away; forced them to roam the Everfree Forest forever and not let them come home?
As more and more questions continued to churn in Cyre's large mind, his eyes wandered to the water of the well. Even at its great depth, the water sparkled with the light from the party. Glistening rays of light struck the well’s walls from the pool below and danced for the Saiyan. It soothed him, and his mind quieted.
A stray beam of light made something red flash at Cyre. It was close to the top, glinting again as Cyre leaned down. He reached out a hand, stretching out his hand as far as it could go. He just barely managed to snatch the small object, tugging at it. It broke loose, and Cyre went tumbling off his perch to the ground, not expecting to go flying back for one moment. He tends to be clumsy like that.
“…Huh? A ruby?” Cyre marveled at his prize as he sat up. The small gemstone immediately began to sparkle and shine in the light. It felt rough and moderately sized in his hand. Had this just been growing in the side of the well? As Cyre rubbed off some of the damp dirt on the stone, he felt a twinge course through his spine. Suddenly he felt dizzy, his vision beginning to spin as shadows and light enveloped him.
Cyre's eyes burst wide open and sat up quickly, wondering what had transpired just now. he looked around, and saw he was in somebody's house. that was when he noticed a filly there with him. A grey pony with a blonde and gold mane sat in front of a small vanity. She brushed her hair, looking down at a little box. Cyre realized he might be in a vision of some sort, which was very odd, considering the circumstances. he stood up and tried to touch her, but his hand fazed right through. yep, definitely a vision. Cyre resigned to his fate and just watched. it was trying to tell him something he was missing. Putting down her comb she reached for the box, lifting its lid to reveal its contents. A couple of marbles, random rusty coins, a large metal bolt, and a tarnished bobbin…the box was full of junk.
Only to her, it wasn’t junk. These were her treasures. All the things in this box she had found, hidden and stashed around town in the most unusual of places. Now, she had one more to add. She reached a hoof into her tail, tugging out a large red gem. The jewel sparkled in the candlelight as she smiled at it. Cyre realized it was the same gem he found at the well. he took his gem out of his pocket to be positive, and it was an exact match. based on the box of things she had, cyre guessed that Her friends always told her she had a knack for finding the most bizarre objects and noticing things no one else would have even bothered with. A knock came on the door; the mare quickly stuffed the gem in her box and closed it, turning.
“H-h-hello, can I come in?”
“Come on in, Roneo.”
The cream-colored stallion opened the door and stepped meekly in. The mare greeted him and he returned it with a jerky nod. Cyre watched with an air of intrigue.
“So, what’s going on?”
“Oh, um…well…I…I wanted to say thanks for the other day. You telling me to say ‘hi’ to Starlet…er…that is…” Roneo turned his gaze to the floor; the mare chuckled.
“So it went well? What happened?” Roneo’s nervous manner changed dramatically at the question.
“Oh it was so nice. I said ‘hi’ and she said ‘hi’ back. We walked a little bit down the street and she mentioned she was going to the town anniversary party. I said I was thinking about going too, so she said she’d love to see me there. She said ‘love,’ do you think she likes me?”
The mare had to laugh further at Roneo’s sudden rush of words. “Well, maybe. You like her don’t you?”
“Yes.” Roneo spoke longingly, his eyes lovesick. Cyre only groaned. Young love was beyond his understanding.
“Then all you gotta do is spend a little more time with her. If she likes you back, it should show.” She paused, looking at her box. She smirked and popped the lid open, grabbing out the red stone she had just put in it. “And this will give you a little boost.” Hopping off her chair, the mare walked over to Roneo and placed the gemstone in his hooves. Roneo looked at the gift, stunned. Ryre was stunned just as much as Roneo was, confused too. if she gave it to Roneo, how did Cyre find it at the well?
“You’re just going to give this to me, to give to Starlet?”
“Sure! It’s just something I found lying around town. It’s no big deal. Give it to her at the party, she’ll never expect it.”
Roneo’s eyes lit up with joy. He thanked her and lavished her with praise as he exited. He took one final bow before leaving, renewed pep in his step as he prepared for his next encounter. She giggled again, sitting back down at her mirror and taking up her brush.
“Good at finding treasures...now good at finding friendships…” Cyre was staring up into the night sky over Sunny Town. That vision fazed him a little and he wasn’t sure how long he had been out of it. Nopony seemed to care that the huge Saiyan had just been lying there on his back in the grass. new questions swirled into his mind. that filly in the vision... it wasn't that far off from the one they chased after. could it be that... it was her they were chasing? As he sat up, Cyre lifted the ruby up again turning it over. Three Leaf had warned him to stop meddling, but now he had a clear path to take. Also, he didn't take orders from ponies. Unless it was Luna. He couldn't quite place it but there was something deep in her that just seemed odd. Yet he couldn't help but be attracted to her. It hurt his head to think about it sometimes.
Cyre smiled to herself, that’s just what he’d do! He’d dig deeper and unravel this mystery. Surely somepony in this town would give him a straight answer eventually, and how much trouble would he honestly get into? He was an all-powerful godly Saiyan! Cyre quickly jumped up and walked to find Broly. He wanted to make sure he found out the truth about this too. Maybe find that mystery filly while he’s at it as well...

PonyballzKai: Adventures In Equestria (Redone)
The secrets of Sunny Town! Dark secrets Revealed!
“Oh my goodness, you found it! You found my gemstone!” Roneo leaped to his hooves as he spotted the ruby in Cyre’s hand. He placed it by his outstretched hooves.
“Yeah, here, you can have it back.”
“Thank you, thank you, thank you!” Roneo praised Cyre, grabbed the gemstone in his mouth, and galloped over to Starlet immediately. The white mare looked overjoyed just to be in the stallion’s presence. Cyre clearly heard her shout of joy even from this distance as Roneo presented his gift to her. The pair crossed their necks against one another, embracing. Cyre smiled at the two knowingly.
Now that he had successfully delivered the lost gift, he wondered what he should do next. Cyre was just about to leave when a sound caught his attention. A weak sobbing noise was coming from inside the house Roneo had been sitting in front of. Cyre looked around to make sure nobody was watching and slipped inside without a second thought. Just as he was about to completely walk inside, someone grabbed his shoulder. He turned around to see Broly. Cyre sighed as he stepped into the building, Broly in tow.
The door clicked shut as They stepped into their new surroundings. This new place, unlike the party outside, was dimly lit and was very unkempt. Boxes of various sizes were stacked up around the walls, sheets were draped over most of the furnishings and the whole house lay still. Cyre took a few more steps inside, straining to hear anything.
“Hello?” He called out to the empty house.
… sniff … uuhhh mmmhhh … … sniff …
In the utter silence of the house, both Saiyans could clearly hear the weak whimpering coming from above. Spotting some stairs near the back wall they made their way up to the next floor.
As Cyre peeked over the stairs he found the upper floor held only one long hallway. At the end sat a single door, a shadow moved behind the threshold.
Broly and Cyre trotted down the hall, leaving huge footprints in the dust on the floor. Grime-covered picture frames and paintings were the only décor of the hallway as Cyre reached the end. He wasn’t scared but his heart rate was rising slightly, the spirit of discovery driving him forward.
He knocked on the door, the shadow behind it suddenly freezing up at the sound. Both Saiyans listened and waited, and waited, and waited. No response from the other side. Cyre knocked again and was startled by the sudden yell that came from the other side.
“GO AWAY!”
Cyre recovered from his shock and faced the door again. “No! I'm not leaving till you talk to me!” Cyre yelled back.
“I don’t have anything to say to monsters like you! Leave me alone, you’re all cursed and evil ponies!”
“AH HA! I knew somethin’ bad must have happened here! This town was too wired for something to not be going on! Wait, who are you calling a monster?!?!” Cyre announced this more to himself rather than the stranger behind the door. He beamed in triumph as all his snooping was validated. The thing behind the door had fallen deathly quiet, but judging by its shadow it had pressed itself against the door.
“You don’t sound like anypony from outside.” The voice sounded much calmer than before.
“That’s cause I’m not. In fact, I’m not even a pony, for that matter...” Cyre called back.
The door swung open lightning fast as a pair of grey hooves snatched Cyre’s boot. Unfortunately for the pony, it didn’t budge an inch, relatively because Cyre was wearing weighted boots.
Before the pony could even comprehend what happened, both Saiyans marched in. The sudden and unexpected shift scared the little filly and she opened her mouth to scream. She was swiftly silenced by the same Saiyan Who was wearing the heavy boot.
Through muffled protests, Cyre beheld his captive: A grey mare with a deep maroon mane. Her eyes held a look of both surprise and worry but were swollen and sagged. It made her look utterly exhausted. Though Cyre had never met this pony before, he couldn’t shake a sense of familiarity about her.
The room they were in was a bedroom holding only a twin bed and a bench before a vanity. Cyre then let go of the pony, who stared at the two Saiyans. The three sat there for what seemed like an eternity before the grey pony broke the silence.
“What do you think you’re doing here? And what are you?” The grey mare’s eyes narrowed.
“Ah, um…wait, what?” The question threw Cyre’s train of thought leaving her to babble an incoherent response as Cyre leaned down to the grey mare’s height. The grey mare clutched Cyre by his shoulders.
“What…Are…You…Doing here?!” her voice was growing stern and angry.
“I’m lookin’ for answers about this town. We came here following somepony out there in the woods. Who are you anyway? And I'm Cyre, a Saiyan from Earth. I came here to Equestria about half a year ago. This is Broly, a friend of mine.” Cyre barked out his answers, throwing questions right back at the mare. This caused her to release again, shock now the only emotion on her face.
“You…followed somepony?” The mare trailed off, a strange look on her face. She sat there in silence for a moment, her eyes scanning Cyre up and down then darting to the window and back. Cyre was watching her, trying to figure out where he knew this pony from. The mare spoke again cautiously.
“Who exactly did you follow here?”
“Some pony with a golden blonde mane. She had a grey coat like yours but her eyes were all golden and glowy too.” Broly simply blurted out the answer, not thinking about it.
“So, she’s the one who led you here…” The mare stood up and walked toward the window. She didn’t speak further, simply staring outside. Cyre wasn’t sure how to react and was still trying to nail down just who this pony was.
The mare spoke again to her, this time with a quiver in her voice “S-so, do you know who I am?” cyre was about to answer no when he heard a voice in his head. It kept repeating the same name.
“Mitta...”
“Would your name happen to be Mitta?”
The mare crumpled at this, her legs quivering as her shoulders shrank forward. In one fluid motion, Mitta collapsed to the floor in a torrent of sobs. This took Cyre and Broly completely by surprise as they ran forward to Mitta’s side.
“Oh my gosh, please stop cryin’! We didn’t mean to upset you!” Cyre pleaded with Mitta through her blubbering, rushing to her side.
“It’s not fair! It’s just not fair!” Mitta managed to speak through her sobs.
“What ain’t fair?”
“All of this! The same thing happening again and again and again, it never ends!”
The Saiyans had no idea what to do. Mitta continued to lie there and cry, each sob making both Saiyan's hearts ache for her more and more. With no other options available Broly and Cyre did the only thing they could think of. They wrapped Their arms around Mitta’s body and hugged her. Mitta took a deep breath, surprised at the sudden embrace. Cyre felt Mitta try to push him off but she couldn’t muster the strength. It was strange, though Mitta looked like any normal pony to The Saiyans her coat and skin felt icy cold and oddly soft. Finally, Mitta’s sobs slowed to a weak whimper as they released her.
“Why?” Mitta asked through her tears, “Why would you even come here?”
“Ah’ don’t know, I guess it was just curiosity,” Cyre admitted. Mitta’s eyes had finally dried and she stared at Cyre. She just sat there and stared, like she was looking into his very soul.
“What in kami happened to this place? Why are you locked up in here, and why did you start crying just then?” Cyre never broke eye contact with Mitta as he asked the questions. Mitta remained quiet, a sliver of a tear dripping from her eye again.
“Please…please don’t make me. It’s too hard to tell, this whole ordeal is my burden just as much as those monsters outside.” When Mitta finally spoke again, her voice was weak.
“Please Mitta, you can tell us. We want to know!”
“I don’t really care, though...” Broly said almost emotionless. Cyre glared at Broly, before focusing back on Mitta.
“No, you shouldn’t, I can’t…”
“You don’t have to be alone in all this. I know others outside these woods, I can bring them here and we can help you more.” Cyre tried to offer her comfort.
“NO!” Mitta practically leaped onto the Saiyan, pressing her face against Cyre’s in utter terror. “Whatever you do, don’t lead anypony else here, they’ll be lost to this town just as we are!” Mitta suddenly shrunk back from her own warning, acting like she had just said something taboo. Cyre countered by getting right back in her face.
“You all keep saying stuff like monsters an’ curses and losing ponies to the town . What does all that mean? Why can’t I have an explanation!?”
Mitta regarded the Saiyan and took a moment to think. To cyre it looked like the very thought of explaining things hurt her. With a heavy sigh, Mitta took a seat once more.
“First, before I tell you what I can, why did she bring you here?” Mitta asked.
“Do you mean the other pony with the blonde mane?”
“Yes. Why you? Why now? She knows bringing anypony here puts them at risk, so why?”
“I dunno! Maybe, she thought I could help do something about all this! Something most others can’t even entertain doing!” Cyre shrugged; if this was some kind of trick question he wasn’t doing a good job figuring it out. Mitta took another deep breath.
“This whole problem started with her, on that horrible night.” Mitta began to explain.
“What night?”
“This night, the night of the town’s founding anniversary. This town’s been here much longer than you could imagine, and it’s all from the curse.”
“Ok, so what’s that?” Cyre’s question made Mitta stop talking. She took a deep breath and looked to be fighting back a few tears. Cyre tried to keep her going, “Did something bad happen?”
“Yes…something bad. Something very very bad and the forest didn’t like it.” Mitta stopped again and closed her eyes, her face drooping.
“Hold your horses, no pun intended, but the forest didn’t like it? I don’t get it. Don’t tell me there are some weird connections this place has to the forest. I don’t really believe in stuff like that, I’m a scientist, you know...” Cyre said, puzzled.
“Actually, that’s pretty much it. It’s always been an old legend that the Ever Free Forest exists as it does because it has its own special kind of magic right? Even when our town was founded near its edge we couldn’t have possibly known how far its influence stretched.”
“Whoa, are you telling me this town wasn’t originally in Ever Free? Something I can eventually study?” Cyre asked excitedly. Mitta nodded.
“We weren’t the only town either. We had a sister settlement about a few day’s trot to the north as well. As for studying and whatnot, I’ll leave that to you.”
“Is that town still there too? Did they believe in curse marks?” Mitta took another deep breath as Cyre asked more questions.
“Curse marks...Yes, that’s where the whole rumor started. The ponies of this town were scared, something awful happened to that neighboring town. It all had to do with the curse marks.”
“But they aren’t curses, they aren’t even called curse marks, they’re cutie marks ! it indicates somepony’s special talent!” Cyre protested.
“Cutie marks? Hmm, I’ve never heard them called that before, but I’d be inclined to believe it. Those marks seemed no more a curse than the mane on your head to me. But you see, our town used to trade and interact quite a bit with our sister village, and then one day that all just stopped. No pony came or went from there anymore, and the villagers here started getting worried. The council sent a small group to investigate, but all they found were ruins. The scouts asked outside travelers if they had heard what happened, and each time they got nearly the same story.
It always starts with somepony in town getting a mark on their flanks. They started performing amazing feats and skills related to the picture. Then they got another, and another, and another. Each mark made them do more crazy and death-defying feats but caused great damage to the town and its residents. Worse of all, the marks started spreading to other ponies and soon everyone was covered head to hoof in the terrible things. As the story goes, they worked and performed themselves all to death, destroying the town in the process.” Mitta halted her explanation, rubbing her eyes again with a hoof. Cyre simply sat there wide-eyed at the story.
“Our council members were horrified by the story, and so they made sure everyone in town knew about the curse marks. They made everypony fear them greatly, made sure no pony would end up with a mark on them, lest they be punished.”
“Hey, don’t judge my hair like that, it runs in my family, don’t blame me! But anyway, what happened when somepony did get a mark?” Cyre questioned.
“That really doesn’t matter.” Mitta dodged Cyre’s question, staring at the floor somberly. “Just, because of what happened and because of our digressions, because of our stupidity and fear…we angered the magics of nature itself. The forest came alive with rage and destructive forces, and her fate that night was the flame that sparked it all.”
“So then what kind of curse do you all have now?” Cyre was having trouble following all this at once. It actually hurt his head a little bit. The question made Mitta raise her head and open her eyes, this time pointing Cyre toward the window as she got to her own hooves.
“Surely you can take some guesses little one. Though you don’t look very little to me. You’ve been amongst the…others out there, the ones who brought this all on us. Can’t you see the patterns?” Mitta waited as Cyre looked outside. He saw all the party ponies eating and drinking and having fun. Starlet and Roneo were nuzzling near the well and he also spotted Grey Hoof dancing near an old record player. As far as he could tell nothing looked too out of the ordinary.
“I’m sorry but, what am I looking for exactly? Everything looks relatively normal.” Cyre asked for a hint.
“Time,” Mitta raised her voice in frustration, “Time is non-existent in this town. This party has been going on for hours right? Ponies have been eating and drinking all night right, so how come the tables are still as they were when you arrived? All the candles on the cakes haven’t even lost a drop of wax yet! You surely have talked with some of them haven’t you?”
“Well yeah,” Cyre responded.
“And what did you think about them?” Mitta pried.
“Well, most of their answers felt kind of rehearsed. Like they knew what I was gonna ask before I even asked it.”
“Almost like they’re empty inside?”
“Yeah, kind of like that!”
“That’s because they are! Those ponies out there, they’ve all had their souls stolen, taken by the curse of the Ever Free Forest. This party never ends because this curse has stolen the life of this town. We are all cursed into everlasting limbo here, reliving our last night again and again and again. Your hours pass by to us like seconds, whole years merely days; a never-ending torture.”
“But how can everything in the town look so normal then? If you all have been here for so long shouldn’t everything be crumbling and rotten? And if this is all true, how do you still have a memory?” Mitta froze up at Cyre’s question, her face looking scared. She bit her lower lip and turned her gaze toward the door.
“There’s something else at work that keeps this town untouched by time Cyre, an evil working in the darkness. I simply can’t…tell you…” Mitta seemed to be choking on her words near the end, almost as if trying to explain further would hurt her.
“Wait, but then if you are cursed like the others how do you have a memory, you don’t seem hollow inside?” Cyre pried further. Mitta looked like she turned paler than she already was.
“I…I…I really don’t know.” Tears began to well in Mitta’s eyes as she talked, “I don’t know why I still have my memory. For some reason, the curse didn’t take my mind like it did the others. Maybe it’s my own personal hell, my punishment for failing to protect her.” Mitta looked like she was about to start sobbing again, but Cyre kept pressing.
“Please, can’t you tell me more?”
“No, I can’t. I simply can’t. Please, for the sake of your friends and family, just leave.” Mitta stood and began to shoo Cyre toward the door, tears beginning to fall from her eyes.
“HEY! Wait a minute I’m not done here I still got more questions!” Cyre protested as he was pushed out into the hallway Broly followed him out.
“No Cyre, no more questions. You don’t want to know the truth lurking behind this town’s façade. Just leave. Run home, never look back, and leave us to our well-deserved fates.”
With that, Mitta slammed the door shut in Cyre's face. He angrily stomped a foot on the floor in protest sending a cloud of dust floating into the air.
“Achoaguh caugh augh! ” Cyre and Broly coughed and wheezed for air as they stepped out of the dust cloud. Cyre stopped near an old photo frame just as his nose began to tingle.
“ACHOOO!”
In one massive sneeze, Cyre blew every bit of dust clean off the frame. Sniffling and wiping his nose with his sleeves he looked up at the picture he had revealed. It was a photograph of two fillies, maybe only a few years older than the CMC from the looks of it. Both were grey, but each had a different mane color, one red, and one golden blonde. Cyre immediately recognized the pair; it was Mitta and her mystery pony friend. They looked so happy in the picture, clearly they had to have been best friends. Cyre looked at the picture closer to try and get a better look at the photo. Without warning the Saiyan’s eyes suddenly lit up with light, sending Cyre falling to the floor, just as Broly caught him before he did so.
“Come quick, something happened to Gladstone!”
The familiar grey pony with a blonde mane galloped down the stairs, almost tripping in her haste as she skidded to a halt by the open door. Mitta was standing there, motioning for her to look outside. Gladstone was being led away through the town square in shackles. The grey mare looked like she wanted to run out to meet him, but Mitta held her back.
“No! You can’t interfere; they’ll try you just like him if you do…”
“What are they doing to him though? What has he done?”
“I don’t know all the details, but somepony told me he was in the clinic and that the nurse went to dress his wounds and then there was a loud scream.”
The filly grabbed Mitta on the shoulder, pointing her other hoof at Gladstone’s tail end.
“Look at his flank! What is that?”
“Oh no…I think I heard about these from somepony once. The elders call them ‘curse marks.’ Gladstone…he must have gotten cursed!”
The grey pony frowned, taking another good look at Gladstone before he was out of sight.
“I dunno…I think it looks kinda cute on him…”
“What? You can’t be serious. Who cares what it looks like? It’s a curse!”
“I’m just saying, I don’t think I buy it. Why would something that looks so innocent be cursed? I’m going to go find out what is going on here.”
“No! You can’t do that! If they catch you I’m not going to stop them.”
“Then that’s your decision. But I’m still going regardless. I have to find out…”
With that the mare shrugged off her friend and trotted out into the street. Many ponies littered the path, all trying to get a glimpse of what was going on. The grey mare used this to her advantage and weaved back and forth through the crowd. She felt it necessary to be discrete; the ponies pulling Gladstone might not like having some pony following them. A nearby colt bumped into her, making her stumble, her golden mane falling into her eyes.
“Hey, watch where you’re going!”
No response, no apology, her mind was focused on more important things. All around her, she heard the rising voices of townsponies as the procession pushed through town.
“They say it all happened at the old well last night…”
“…I heard it happened after he went to the clinic.”
“What’s wrong with that pony mommy?”
“Don’t look he’s cursed, you’ll be cursed too!”
The mare snorted as she trotted by the last gossiper, she didn’t believe in any of these rumors or claims. The crowds began to thin as Gladstone was led to the cabin near the edge of town. The captors and prisoner entered and locked the door, leaving the grey pony outside in the dark of the night. A moment of doubt passed her as she contemplated spying on them, but something in her gut pressed her on. The mare snuck behind the house and climbed up onto a box to peer through the window.
The mare saw many ponies standing inside the cabin. She tried to listen against the glass but they spoke in hushed voices. Gladstone was still chained near the fire while six others stared at him in the shadows. They talked amongst themselves and then asked something to Gladstone. He seemed distressed and confused.
A moment later another grey pony, a colt, struck Gladstone across the face with his hoof. He was yelling something but the ruckus garbled it. She strained to see what was happening inside, the burning fire the only light source in the whole house.
A drop of light rose from the fireplace, bouncing along in the air. She thought she saw metal in the grey colt’s mouth, deducing he was holding a fire-poker.
“ AHHhhhhhhhhhh!!!”
Gladstone wailed in pain as the hot poker pressed against his flank. The mare gasped as smoke rose off the charred flesh of the poor colt’s flanks. Gladstone buckled to the floor from the pain. The mare shrank away from the mirror, horrified at this gruesome display. Her thoughts raced, what was going on inside, what exactly had she stumbled into? She needed to warn ponies, needed to tell others what was going on. Suddenly a flash of light shone bright behind her, startling her and sending her tumbling to the ground with a thud. Through blurred vision, she saw somepony standing over her and he was shouting something.
Cyre’s head was spinning, his vision slowly returning as he stood to his knees. As the saiyan regained consciousness he was surprised to find himself standing outside next to Broly. His head hurt and there was a dry taste in his mouth, had he been running? Up till now, he hadn’t budged while having these memories, this time though he seemed to have traveled quite a bit while unconscious. Cautiously he felt his chest and head with his right hand; that last memory felt so vivid he could have sworn he had taken the blonde pony’s place.
He looked around her new surroundings, familiarity taking hold of him as he realized he was where his recent recall had taken her. Some of the scenery had changed, but the general area looked all too familiar. In front of him sat a dirt path leading through a line of trees. The opening was shrouded in darkness. He looked back to the thicker parts of town, the party still raged behind him.
Yet, this part of the town he now stood in lay oddly still. Cyre knew his chase was nearing its end. The Saiyan puffed out his chest, steeled his nerves, and stepped into the dark woods once more with Broly. Cyre would question how he and Broly got here later when he got around to it. He really hoped it didn’t involve a muffin button...
The shadows of the trees engulfed Them as they followed the path into the woods. The glow from the town’s lanterns illuminated the exit he had taken, but the rest of the thicket was dark. Only sparse illumination from the moon above managed to pierce the canopy in places. Cyre and Broly trotted forward carefully, trying not to lose the path in front of them. Soon the glow from the town had vanished in the distance and the Saiyan’s whole world became shadows.
Suddenly, a flicker of golden light zipped between some trees in the distance. Both Saiyans stopped dead, scanning the trees and listening, preparing for a fight. In the far-off distance, they could just barely hear soft laughter.
… … Heheh… C’mon slow poke...
The golden light shot past Them both, flying deeper into the woods. The Saiyans instantly sprinted after it, swerving around corners and jumping over roots in her way. It wasn’t very difficult, considering their massive amount of training. They kept seeing glimpses of their culprit, but couldn’t seem to catch up.
Keep going … … You’re almost there!
It almost sounded like a taunt. This drove Both saiyans to go super saiyan. They rounded another line of trees, skidding to a halt as their path ended. In front of them sat a large cabin nestled between the trees.
All signs of the ghost seemed to have vanished as Cyre and Broly powered down and crept up to the house. It looked like it was abandoned, but as he approached Cyre detected a faint light coming from within.
The windows were shuttered and Cyre surprisingly couldn’t see through them. He tried the door…locked. How was he supposed to get inside? Cyre simply pulled the door off its hinges, threw it into the woods, and walked inside with a smirk on his face.
...what? Don’t look at me like that, did you really expect him to find another way of opening the door? I mean seriously...
Empty. The entire house was empty. No pony was home, not even ghost ponies. The old floorboards groaned under both of the Saiyan’s weights, the entire place was coated with layers upon layers of dust. The only remarkable thing to speak of was at the back of the room; a fireplace, fully lit and crackling.
Cyre sighed, coughing as he accidentally inhaled some dust. After all this time…a dead-end? Really? He walked over to the fireplace and sat in front of it, thinking to herself.
“Nothing. All this for nothing. I thought for sure I was gonna find the answer in here. But nothing…nothing but this fire… I’m missing something here, but what is it? Something about all this isn’t adding up. Clearly, something happened to that mystery pony, no doubt she got her cutie mark. But what did they do to her? Nothing good I presume, seeing as they tried to burn somepony’s ass trying to get rid of one. What do you think Broly? ” Broly shook his head, he honestly didn’t know what was going on either. Cyre decided it would be best to meditate. He did that pretty often, and it usually cleared his head.
Cyre sat upright and got into position as his eyes fell upon the fire. The logs inside looked like they had been sitting there a long time, longer than they had any right to be.
Underneath, wedged within the hearth, was something white. Cyre leaned in closer, the heat of the flames making his brow sweat. It didn’t make him falter though, he’s been hit with way hotter beam attacks. There were a lot of these white things, and they looked like they made some kind of shape. Cyre stared at them, realization slowly creeping over him. The whole fireplace was filled with bones! His heart quickened, the beating amplified by the stillness of the house as she was lost to the darkness again. Broly went to see what was wrong, but he also fell to the same fate.
Cyre’s eyes slid open. An orange glow flickered to his right as she looked around. She felt her gaze slip to her hooves. wait, hooves? He seemed to be in the body of a pony now! That’s very creepy! The soft grey of his coat was marred by the ugly brown rope that hog-tied him. He tried to speak, but his voice was muffled by a rag tied to her mouth. His vision went wild, searching for some kind of help as strands of her blonde mane fell into his eyes. Through his bangs, he could spot shadowed figures standing across the room. They were all looking at him.
“This can’t be happening. First Gladstone, now this one…It’s only a matter of time before the whole town ends up like these two. We need to find a way to stop these marks from spreading.”
“Well it seems these marks can’t simply be burned off. Our watch who spotted her said this mark appeared on her just moments ago.”
“It’s a curse after all, remember our scout’s stories? Maybe it sensed our intentions to destroy it and jumped from Gladstone to her. If this curse can multiply it could jeopardize the whole town…It could even infect one of us if we don’t stop it soon.”
he saw them all shiver at this notion. One of them walked over to a table. Panic stricken he wiggled her hooves again, trying desperately to free his knots. His mind raced with fear. He would not be worried in the slightest if he was in his Saiyan body, but that currently wasn’t the case.
“Then it seems we don’t have any more options gentlecolts…we’ll have to stop it right here, right now.”
“And how do you expect to do that Grey Hoof? We don’t have any unicorns in our town to remove the magic.”
“I expect that we shall just have to remove it directly from the source then…”
he watched as the stallion grabbed hold of something in his teeth.
“Grey Hoof, you don’t honestly intend to—”
“—can you think of any other way? Because I can’t…and we’re running out of time!”
He watched as the other ponies regarded their options, all nodding in unison after a time.
“…Make it quick…”
A flash of silver light caught his eyes as Grey Hoof took a step closer. He tried to plead with them, but could only manage muffled screams. Tears streamed down his face as the object drew close. His heart raced, panic gripping him at what was coming. He closed his eyes, whimpering and praying with all her soul.
It was quick, but the pain that accompanied was unimaginable. His vision was fading as he felt sticky liquid pouring out of him. He managed a gurgled scream, but it served no purpose, it was already too late. He could feel his lungs pull in one last breath, trying in vain to hang on.
“…Please, forgive these dark acts we’ve done…”
“NOOOOOoooooo!”
Cyre screamed and clambered to his feet as the memory wrenched itself from him. Franticly his hands went right for his neck, expecting a giant hole. His breathing was labored and deep and his heart raced faster than it ever had before. He tried to look away from the bones, but his eyes refused to move. All he could see was the red of the fire, the burning lies, and the poor pony that’d been murdered in this edifice. His little game of detective had taken a hideous turn, and Cyre wanted desperately to stop playing, wanting nothing more than to leave this town. It was finally at this point that he realized he was in super Saiyan god form, but he honestly couldn’t be very surprised. He looked over to Broly and saw him in his wrathful form. From the looks of it, he had the same vision.
“They... killed her... just because she earned a cutie mark... THOSE BASTARDS!!! I’LL MAKE THEM PAY! I’LL MAKE ALL OF THEM PAY!” Cyre then fell to the floor in anger and sadness. Now he understood why Mitta was so resistant to talk. The pony who had died was her friend.
Cyre walked over to Broly and nodded, while Broly nodded back. It was official, they were leaving right now. But first, they would find Mitta and the mystery pony, and save them before leaving. Mitta didn’t deserve any of this, and neither did that mystery pony. And after they do save them... he’d blow up this forsaken town to HIFL.
