Previously,On Dragon ball xenoverse 3. After the heated battle with Raditz, our heroes began to train to deal with any future threats that showed up in the past. After accepting Applebloom as his deciple,
the two of them began to train as teacher and student to unlock the secret of improving the technique that Spear used against Raditz. The Kaio-ken. After figuring out how to combine Equestrian magic with the Kaio-ken technique, Spear has now developed a new power. The crimson-ken. A perfect harmony of magic and ki to increase one's fighting power and multiple it. After a successful test on a new enemy, the sibaking, our heroes decided to take a well-deserved break from training. But, that break will soon be called off, as a certain invasion begins...Now!

A link into the past! The invasion of the sayain race!

Starlight was running after the blue light that the time scroll was illuminating, wondering what was happening. 'What could be causing the scroll to act like this? Did I tamper with it too much? Is there a unicorn using magic to carry it off from a distance? Is it sentient now?'

She sighed as she thought, "Well, worrying about what or how wouldn't help now. I just need to catch it and figure out how this happened later."

As Starlight was running, she ran past a certain blue unicorn in a magician outfit. Trixie then saw her best friend on the path while relaxing outside her wagon and said, "Starlight, Your back! The great and powerful Trixie welcomes your return!"

"Sorry Trixie, no time. Have a spell to catch!" Starlight said as she ran past her best friend.

Trixie saw Starlight run past her as she said, "Hey, wait up!" She caught up to Starlight, leaving behind her hat and cape, and said,"Would you mind telling Trixie what's going on? Why are you running?" She looked up and saw the blue streak in the sky and said,"And why is their a blue line in the sky?"

Starlight grunted as she said, "OK, in order. When I,Twilight, and Applejack were in Fillydelphia, I found Star swirl's time travel spell -"

"The same one you used to try and make Twilight's friends never have gotten their cutie marks and never have met, but ultimately lead to Equestria's end?" Trixie recalled, as she remembered her friend telling her those events.

Starlight grunted in annoyance as she also remembered those memories and regrets as she said, "Ugh, yes. THAT spell."

She shook her head and continued, "Anyway, I brought it back with us to put in our vault for safe keeping when it glowed all of a sudden and flew in this direction. So I'm chasing it down while Twilight and the others are heading to cantrlot, as the princess called for an emergency summons of the elements of harmony."

Trixie, while running, took a minute to process everything she heard. She then looked at Starlight and said "Ok...Trixie believes she understands what you're saying. But one more question. Why are those fillys running in front of us?"

Starlight then looked at her and saw that it wasn't just any fillys. It was the cmc. 'Why are Scootaloo and her friends chasing the spell too?' "Come on, let's follow them and get some answers." The two mares followed the cmc, wondering why their running after the time spell as well.

"Applebloom, slow down! We can barely keep up!" Sweetie bell and Scootaloo shouted as the two of them chased after Applebloom ran incredible fast.

"I don't get it, Scootaloo. Why is Applebloom running so fast? And HOW did she get so fast?" Sweetie Bell asked, clearly confused about how all this happened.

"You got me, Sweetie Bell. I'm just as confused as you are." Scootaloo said. Having the same the same questions is her friend. "All I know is that streak of blue light flew across the sky, and she took off in a hurry."

Sweetie Bell then looked worried as they both continued to taill Apple Bloom to sweet apple acres.

'That light was heading to the barn. I need to warn master quickly.' Apple bloom thought as she ran towards the barn at incredible speeds for an earth pony filly, thanks to her training with Spear over the past two weeks.

Meanwhile, Spear had finished the remaining chores that Applejack had for them as he then noticed the blue light from the distance. "What is that light?"

The spell then stopped high over where the first rift was. As Spear flew up closer to inspect it, he could tell what the light was. "Is that... Starswirls time travel spell?! B-But how?!"

"Master! Master!" Apple bloom shouted as he ran towards the barn, screeching to a halt in front of her master. "Master! There's a"

"Blue streak of light in the sky and is hovering above us? Yeah, I saw it. It's the time travel spell Starlight used a while back." Spear said as he pointed towards the sky.

The spell then began to gather the Resignal energy from the first time rift, and some kind of temporal window appeared from the spell.

Spear and Applebloom began to wonder what caused the phenomena that just happened when two voices called out in the distance. "Applebloom!"

They turned and saw that Scootaloo and Sweetie bell ran toward then, when Scootaloo realized her mobiun, turned sayian father. "Dad?! You're here!"

Scootaloo then jumped up and hugged her father with her tired hoofs as Spear, while surprised that she recognized him real quickly, was happy to see his adopted daughter again, and returned the embrace.

"Scootaloo, what are you and Sweetie bell doing here? Did you follow the light here, too?" Spear asked as he put his daughter down.

Scootaloo nodded as she started to explain their story. Meanwhile, Starlight and Trixie hide behind some trees as they finally catch up with the cmc and see the window in the sky.

Trixie then said, "What is that up there? A hole in the sky?" As she looked apon it in confusion. Wondering how there was a hole in the sky.

Starlight began to look inside the hole in the sky and gasped at what she saw. Was that... a planet?! It didn't look like Eques, either. What is HAPPENING?!

Starlight hated to admit it, but she was at a loss about what was happening. But it also made her want to learn more. She was about to go and ask what was happening when- "OHHHHHHHHH, NO NO NO!!! THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING!!!"

Starlight and Trixie got scared and jumped in surprise. Luckily, they weren't noticed by the others as they hid quickly.

Meanwhile, Spear and the cmc got startled by the sudden yelling. But Spear then recognized the source of the shout and said, "Geez Elder kai, did you have to yell like that? You nearly blew our ears off!"

Elder kai, however, continued to shout despite the plea and said, "THERE'S NO TIME FOR 'SHUSH SHUSH'! WE HAVE AN EMERGENCY ON OUT HANDS!!"

Before Elder kai could continue his yelling, however, another voice then intervened and said, "Geez, calm down, old man! You're gonna blow out our ears if you continue yelling!"

The sigh from Elder kai was a relief to the ears as another chimes in and says, "Sorry about that. The old man's been in a panic attack since the latest development."

Spear then raised his brow and asked, "You mean the hole in the sky? We just found out about it, too."

The Supreme kai of time then gave "Huh?" As she said,"A hole in the sky? What do you mean? I was talking about the heist here at the time, nest."

This time, Spear was confused and said, "Wait, what do you mean heist? What happened?"

Supreme kai of time then gulped as she knew she had to tell him what happened. "Chronoa." She got scared as she knew he was serious as he asked, "What was stolen from the vault?"

Supreme kai of time sighed as she realized that she had to fess up and said, "Well...we kinda, sorta...lost all the emeralds."

Spear's eyes widen and twitched as he said, "You mean...ALL the chaos emeralds, the dark emerald,AND the master emerald have been stolen... right under your noses..."

Supreme kai of time braced herself for the yelling and scolding at her...but instead, she then heard him breathe as he said "It's ok, at least this info gives us a lead on what's going on."

Supreme kai of time was surprised that he responded calmly at the news. Usually, when something like this happens, he gets frustrated and gets unnecessarily stressed about it. Did it have something to do with the planet? Did it have a similar effect on aggressive behavior like earth?

Trunks then decided to ask, "What do you mean a lead? Do you have a theory on what's going on?"

Spear then shook his head and said, "It's a working theory, but I'll need more info to confirm anything now."

Trunks then started his own thoughts as he asked, "Well, is your investigation bringing up anything? It's been a while after the first of those weird time rifts you and the kid investigated."

Supreme kai of time's ears then perked up and said, "Oh yeah, the kid! I've been meaning to ask, but can I speak to hear? I wanna get to know her."

A gulp was heard as a young voice then said, "H-Hello? Are you Ms. Supreme kai of time?"

Chronoa smiled as said, "Why, yes, I am little one. But please, call me Chronoa. Supreme kai of time is only my official title. Would you wanna be friends, umm..."

"Applebloom. My Name's Applebloom. And I would love to be friends with you, Chronoa!" Applebloom said excitedly. I'm happy to have made a new friend.

Chronoa smiled and giggled at Applebloom's excitement. Trunks, who wanted to move on, then said, "So, umm, Spear? The debriefing?"

Spear then nodded and debriefed the gang at Conton City, all that went down the past two weeks. And they were surprised as Icer then said, "A new kind of Sibamen?! Wow, this is exciting! Oooh, I wish I could've been there to gather data on it!"

Beat then gave a jealous look as he said, "Awwww, you're so lucky! Taking on a supercharged Raditz like that?! AND meeting a younger Goku and Piccolo? Man, you're so lucky, leader."

Note then got into a thinking pose as she excitedly said, "Wow, Sibamen in THAT point in time?! What a twist in history! Man, leader, you're so lucky to see that!"

Bettle, however, then spoke up in an admittedly annoyed tone and said, "If you two are done geeking out now, we're still in the middle of debriefing. So focus."

Beat and note sulked as Bettle then asked, "So, this 'Sibaking' you two fought. It was freshly grown, correct?"

Spear nodded as he said, "Correct, it seemed interested in the local town near here called Ponyville for some reason. "

Ashley then gave a confused look as she asked, "Ummm...Ponyville? Isn't that too on the nose of a name?"

Rosey, getting annoyed at Ashley bluntness, then commented, "Geez Ashly, no have NO sense of tack, do you?"

Icer then spoke up as he said, "I agree. This IS basically a new planet for us. We need to be respectful of their customs."

Ashley then rolled her eyes as they heard clear his throat and said, "If we're done being distracted. Bettle, you were about to ask something else, right?"

Bettle nodded and said, "Is it possible that that the new time rifts and this...'Equestria' it's called...is it possible there's some sort of connection between them?"

Spear then began to think about it. It could be possible that with all the natural magic that the planet gives out, it could have mixed with Towa's demon magic at some point. But the odds of that were really low for that to happen.

Something else must have happened to causing these new rifts in time, but what? At this point, Spear doesn't have a clue on what to do, and actually thinks it's time to talk to Twilight about this. He WAS worried about her thinking that he's a threat to the equestria or becoming a research project for her.

But at this point, it's all moot. He needed some pony with a lot more knowledge about magic to help, and Twilight was the first pony that came to mind.

The second pony he had in mind was Starlight. After all, she DID figure out how to completely improve on Star Swirls' time travel spell, so maybe this would be up her alley. Maybe with all three of them together, they could find out what's going on.

With the plan sorted out, he was about to tell Chronoa and the others about his plan when Trunks then sounded concerned. which, in turn, gets Spear and the cmc concerned.

"What's going on, Trunks?" Spear asked, wondering what happened. Chronoa then sounded in a panic, saying, "There's trouble! There's been another change to history!"

Spear and the cmc gasped, knowing that dealing with this change in history was top priority now. Talking to Twilight and Starlight would have to wait.

Elder kai then shook his head as he said, "Unbelievable. Just as we're pooling our information together, THIS happens!"

Supreme kai of time took a calming breath and said, "I get the feeling. But right now, setting history right is top priority now." She then looked at Trunks and said,"Trunks, do you have the scroll that the changes are from?"

Trunks held the scroll in his hand, but it looked...different somehow. It had the same hue as the time rifts that Spear describe to them. Supreme kai of time then said, "This isn't good. This isn't like the magic Towa used before. It's...different. nothing like I've seen before."

Elder kai, however, then sensed the magic from the scroll, seeing if theirs anything he could do to it. "Hmmmm... looks like there's an anti-magic block on this scroll. Whoever is doing this must've had planned ahead for something like this."

Ruby then asked worryingly. "So, there's nothing we can do about this?"

Elder kai shook his head and said, "I never said that. Obviously, whoever made this block clearly doesn't know HOW to cast the spell. Watch this."

Elder kai raised his hand, and with a simple incantation, he broke the lock with no trouble at all. Ruby looked surprised and said, "Wow, that was easy! How'd you do it?"

"Whoever is the mastermind of this plot tried to prevent us from using the scrolls of eternity to travel back in time and fixing history. But the spell they used was weak. Even a lower level kai would have no trouble breaking the spell." Elder kai said with a smug grin on his face.

Beat then got excited and said, "Well, if we can go to the past now, then we can help leader with his mission!"

However, to their surprise, Spear ended up saying, "ACTUALLY, I think it would be better if you guys stayed in conton City and figured out who's the mole in security. If you joined me here, then Conton City would be in a real bind without you guys there to protect it."

Bettle then began to weigh the options that Spear and beat layer out. If they all went together, their combined power would be more than enough to deal with this problem.

But Conton City would be without its defenders, and it would be kind of a risk, especially with a spy somewhere in the city.

And it's not like Spear is completely alone, too. He does have friends on that planet, apparently. And he's been training one of them in the art of battle, too.

So, in the end, Bettle definitely saw Spear's side and decided to agree with him, saying, "I believe Spear is right. While I'm sure we could help with the problem on that planet, the protection of Conton city is of equal importance. We'll have to be extra vigilant for any suspicious activity around the time nest."

The others sighed but nodded in agreement, knowing that he was right. Spear then asked Supreme kai of time "So...Where's the change in history?"

Supreme kai of time nodded as she looked into the scroll and said, "It's around the time of the sayain invasion. Vegeta and Nappa are far stronger than normal, defeated Goku easily, and destroyed the planet."

Spear then gave a serious look and said, "Not on my watch. We'll find the rift and head there now."

Scootaloo then looked at the mark on the ground, where the first rift was, and remembered something. "Dad! I remember where a Rift is!"

Spear turned quickly as he said, "What really?! Where?!" Scootaloo nodded and said,"Yeah, before we left, Sweetie Bell, and I found it while playing in the park! Remember Sweetie?"

Sweetie nodded her head, remembering where it was, saying, "OH yeah! I know where! We can take you there!"

Spear nodded and said, "OK, we've got it!" He then began to pump his arm up and said "We've got the time rift, we have a way to travel through time, we've got two powerful fighters here, everything's coming up heores!"

He then turns to Applebloob and says, "Really kid?" Applebloom nodded, closed her eyes, and transformed into her sayain form.

Thanks to some magic lessons, she's able to transform from pony to sayian at will. Which is helpful to not freak out any pony out.

While Sweetie bell and Scootaloo were surprised at their friends' new trick, the really surprised ones were Starlight and Trixie.

While Trixie thought this was an impressive trick, Starlight's mind was going into overdrive. She remembered that when she went to the human world, she turned into one of those humans. But now, she sees Applebloom turn INTO one?! How was this possible?!

Starlight then looked on a desk that was in the barn and noticed that it had a bunch of papers on it. Each one full of equations and theories on magic and...ki?

Why was that so familiar? She then began to think about this and remembered something. Back when she was still leading her village, she met a strange visitor who was traveling from village to village. It was an old unicorn mare in a cloak. She was hungry and asked for some food in exchange for information.

While Starlight wanted equality, even back then, she couldn't turn a blind eye to someone in need. She wasn't heartless, after all. So, she gives her some fruit, a couple of sweets, and a canteen of water.

The old mare was greatful and kept her end of the deal. She then told her about a mysterious magic that was almost unknown to ponykind. It is similar to pony magic, but it also had its differences. The name of the magic was called "Ki," and its potential seemed limitless.

Starlight was intrigued by the story. And thanked her for the story. And she kept the story in mind. But after Twilight and the other librarian of her village, all she thought of was revenge, and the story she heard was lost in the back of her mind till now.

Starlight remembered the story and was getting excited. Not that she would use ki for revenge. Because at this point, she was completely reformed. In fact, she was just as much of a hero of the rest of the main 6.

She wanted to study these equations as soon as possible, but she decided to go after Spear and the cmc. After all, he must know about ki, and wanted to compare notes on it. Plus, ask about what was going on.

She then Said "Come on Trixie! Let's go after them!" Trixe nodded and ran after Starlight, who was determined to catch up to the time patrol.
