(WARNING: CONTAINS SPOILERS, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED YOU READ SAIYAN OF EQUESTRIA PONY-DISCORD SAGA)
Crossover Saga
Chapter 1: A Blue Box?
Normal days, when the sun is shining, you go about your daily schedule, go to school, have fun with friends, eat the most delicious foods that your adoptive parent could cook. The life anyone, or anypony always wishes to have.
Unfortunately, saiyans have a tendency to never, ever, have a normal day. Especially if said saiyans are a pair of human/saiyan hybrid twins who just love to go out and have fun and have a far bigger amount of curiosity than an average pony.
These two human saiyan hybrids are eight year old Ken and Kira Altarmore-Heartstrings. Adopted children of Lyra Heartstrings, and the son and daughter of the Full-Blooded saiyan Z-fighter, Chris Dell aka Karmel. Who was sealed inside Ken after an inter-dimensional accident causing him to nearly fade away due to Ken's original dimension's specifics. The Z-fighter sealed himself inside the young human boy changing him into a human saiyan hybrid, who was later subjugated to experimentation for two years before making his way into the world of Equestria via teleportation.
After arriving, the young boy was adopted by Lyra Heartstrings, his now legal guardian, or mom. A few days later, Ken was struck by an incomplete cloning spell, but due to his unique structural DNA and it never designed to copy a species beside a pony, the spell shifted creating a near twin version of a permanent Kira Altarmore-Heartstrings. Who was also adopted by Lyra and is now the twin sister of Ken.
Many things happened since her 'birth', these things, or events, drastically increased the power levels of the twins making them stronger than any unicorn could ever be. Through not the strongest of the world, Ken and Kira do not mind it, they prefer to just spar and have fun with their friends the Cutie Mark Crusaders, constantly causing Ponyville troubles with their now upgraded attempts at getting the CMC, their cutie marks.
Celestia sun shined over the town of Ponyville, the clock arms moved past 1 o'clock. In the lovely house of Lyra Heartstrings, two saiyan hybrid twins finished their homework from school, eager to begin playing outside.
"And then you but that number right there, and tada!" A young eight year old girl said, a brown monkey tail wiggling about from her back.
"Thanks Kira! Now we can go play!" The girl's twin, a eight year old boy yelled with joy.
"Finally, it took you like forever to finish math work!" She said to him.
"Well sorry! Math is hard, and it's boring!"
Kira rolled her eyes. "It's boring no matter where you live!"
"Hehe, your right." He said, scratching the back of his hair as she stood up and put the homework into his backpack.
"Now let's go!" Ken yelled.
Kira smiled, and went for the back door to the backyard, her tail wagging in happiness. The boy, Ken, followed her with equal enthusiasm.
The two made their way into the backyard, they looked to the broken tree, strange how mommy never got that removed. They skipped happily to the middle of the field. They turned to each other, both grinning as they felt their inner urges, their saiyan instincts start to make them more happy for what saiyans do best, fight.
"So sis, how shall we it this time?" Ken asked, as he slipped into his fighting a stance, a style resembling Gohan's which is a hybrid of both offense and defensive styles.
"Well, I was thinking martial arts and regular Ki blast only." Kira responded with glee, slipping into her aggressive stance similar to Vegeta's.
"Ok, um, see that cloud? When it reaches the sun we'll start ok?" Ken said, pointing to moving cloud.
"K." She shortly replied.
Seconds past, then the cloud touched the sun and in a split instant, the two hybrids vanished in great speed before meeting in the middle quicker than you could blink. Kira's right fist connected with Ken's left, they held it for three seconds before Kira shot her leg to his side, but Ken front flipped over her and tried to kick her in the back, but Kira's tail grabbed his leg and she swung him toward the ground.
He landed on his hands and back-flipped back to his feet. He looked up and shot two Ki blast from his hands, he charged when the two blast shot at the dirt, making smoke rise from the ground.
*BANG!*
That's what nearby ponies would of heard, when the fist of the two twins collided in the rising dust, the ground beneath them cracked open from the force of the pressure.
"Stop going so easy on me Ken!" Kira protested.
"Ok, ok." He replied.
Ki auras burst into existence, they disappeared into a flash of blue, in the sky the two could be seen as speeding flashes of light. However the two stayed within the boundaries of their enlarged back yard, thank goodness it was enlarged to compresant for their spars, it was enchanted just for them by non other than Twilight Sparkle so it would repair itself after every spar.
"AHHH!" Kira screamed, as she sent a barrage of Ki blast towards Ken.
"Uh oh!" He flew up, the Ki blast following him, he frowned slightly, he spun left and right, moved both upward and downward, still it persistent. He heard Kira laugh loudly in his predicament.
"I thought you said no Ki techniques!" He yelled to her as he avoided another homing Ki blast.
"Um oops, I must've lied." She said innocently.
He turned his body back as he flew, and began to chant one familiar signature technique.
"Ka...Me...Ha...Me..." A compressed ball of blue Ki energy collected within the connected palms of the saiyan hybrid.
"HA!!!!!!!" He thrust his palms forward, a giant wave of Ki bursting from the compressed ball, completely devouring the homing Ki blast and crashing into Kira's defenses.
"Grrr, Wah!" She sounded out, as she pushed her own Ki and stopped the Kamehameha wave from hurting her.
Only to receive a kick to her abdomen that sent her crashing onto the ground below, into the backyard. Ken charged back down and landed on the ground, he looked at his sister who had gotten back up and fired two regular Ki blast at him, he sliced through them with his hands. The two charged at each other before suddenly being sent back the opposite direction!
"Whaa, oof!" Both the twins said out as they rolled across the ground from the unseen force that pushed them.
Ken got up, rubbing his head as it collided with one of the rocks. That hurt, hopefully that won't happen again. His eyes scanned the area for his twin sister, he saw her and instantly rushed to her side.
"Sis! You alright?" He said worried for her well-being.
Kira stood up and rubbed the dirt off herself. "Yeah Ken, I'm alright, what was that?" She suddenly questioned.
They both looked toward the center of the backyard to see a big blue box! Naturally their human curiosity instantly wanted them to investigate, Ken fell victim to this curiosity easily. He started walking toward it.
"Ken! What you doing! It could be dangerous!" Kira yelled at him, worried about this mysterious box.
"I'm sure we'll be fine! I'm a super saiyan remember? Not many things can beat me!" Ken reassured her.
"Your not invincible and you can barely control it!" Kira replied.
Ken waved her off. "Look Kira, I'm pretty sure a big blue box can't do anything harmful."
Ken walked up to it, he tried to read the words, but they were not the pony language he learned, through they looked...awfully familiar. He saw a door handle, and grabbed onto it, he attempted to open it only to find it won't do so.
"Huh?" He said, he pulled harder, but still no deal.
"Um, Ken?" Kira said, walking cautiously closer.
"UGH! OPEN! OPEN! OPEN!" He yelled as she kept trying, with all his might to open the door, even with Ki enhanced strength. Finally having enough, he stepped a few feet back and prepared a Ki blast.
"KEN! DON'T!" Kira screamed at him.
"Why? I wanna see what's inside!" He complained.
"You don't have to blast it! Look it's opening now!"
Sure enough, the door began to open.

Chapter 2: Misunderstandings
Crossover Saga
Chapter 2: Misunderstandings
"It's opening up!" Kira said out loud, the twins looked toward the blue box to see a brown pony, and that gray pony with yellow hair. They knew her, she was at their party eating the muffins! But they never caught her name.
The brown stallion had also a darker brown mane, and a one of those sand timely things as his cutie mark, the other pony had a yellow mane, and bubbles as a cutie mark. They seem to be blinded by the sunlight, but soon they look at the twins. The brown stallion seem to pull out some sort of...uhh shiny metal pencil glowy thing? That seemed to beep a few times before he looked at it and said.
"Hmm, that's interesting..." The twins tilted their heads in confusion, what did he mean? Did that glowy pencil do something?
Ken, filled with curiosity of these new ponies, asked them a simple question. "Who are you?" He said.
The stallion coughed and said “I'm the Doctor and this is Derpy Hooves! She's my assistant!” The Doctor replied to Ken's question with enthusiasm.
'Doctor of what? Like a pony doctor?' Ken thought telepathically to his sis.
'I don't know, maybe?' She thought back to him.
Ken smiled innocently and replied happily. "Well I'm Ken! And this is my sis, Kira!" he said, pointing to his sister who waved happily.
"It's nice to meet you two!" Her tail wiggled around in her excitement of meeting new ponies.
The Doctor smiled “It's nice to meet you as well! And it's also very interesting, you must be twins!” He then began circling around to inspect them.
'He's weird.' both Ken and Kira thought.
"Everything nearly alike... you two look so-” He was cut off by Derpy pushing him out of the way.
"ADORABLE!" The gray pony screamed out in excitement, grabbing onto Ken and looking all over him. Ken didn't mind, they were a lot of grown up girl ponies that did this to him. "Wow, such poofy hair! Just like Raze!"
'Raze?' Ken thought, maybe that was another pony with hair like him probably.
Kira's tail curled up in suspicion, who was this Raze pony? She hadn't seen any ponies with hair like them, not one close at all, unless...Nah, humans can't get here! Can they? Eager to know, she turned toward the Doctor pony and asked...
"Who's Raze?"
"Oh, he looks just like you and-"
*Errrk*
The sound of a door opening from the blue box interrupting The Doctor in mid sentence. Out stepped out man, seeming to be around his twenties perhaps, had large toned muscles, hair similar to the twins and a red Gi on him. However, the twins thought much differently, because the moment they saw his figure one word came into their minds.
Humans
While Derpy greeted the human, the two saiyan twins delved into their telepathic communication.
'Ken! It's a human! Kira mentally yelled.
'I know! He won't take us away from here! We belong in Equestria with mommy, not Earth in a lab!'
'But Ken, what if he's got one of those dart gun things?'
'We're too fast for those now! Look he's here, I won't let him take us!' Ken replied.
"My name's Raze!" The human put his hand in front toward them, which Ken thought as a attempt to grab them.
Ken jumped with quick speed and punched Raze across the dirt.
"Whoa, what hit m-" *SMASH!*
Ken kicked him on his side when the human had gotten back up, he wasn't going to let him have a chance! The human flew back ten feet before crashing into the ground for the second time, but he quickly got back up with a serious expression on his face.
“No way that's happening again!” The human exclaimed , Ken charged at him using his Ki to enhance his speed, he threw a punch with his right fist, but the human blocked it! Ken's eyes widened in surprise but it was quickly pushed down as he tried to attack again, but the human grabbed him and pulled him in. Ken began to panic with a bit of fear in his eyes, the human than spun around around and threw him toward the dirt.
Ken quickly landed on his hands and back-flipped a few times before standing rightly again. He charged at the human angrily and began to throw fists and kicks, trying to hit him to prevent his or his sister's capture by this evil human! But the human always seemed to block his attack, every single time! Why! How did he know his moves!? The human suddenly charged a Ki blast! Ken was surprised and unable to react quickly enough as the blast collided with him sending him flying across the ground once again!
However Ken caught himself in mid air, he was angry, why was this human so strong! How was he beating him? He charged at the human. But the human flew to the sky, Ken followed suite as a white Ki aura burst into existence and propelled him into the air.
The human looked down at him and yelled, “You want a fight! You got one!”
Ken continued to follow him and replied “I can't let you win! You won't take me or sis back to Earth!” Ken then cupped his hands together “Ka...Me...” He then brought his hand to his right side. “Ha...Me!” A ball of blue energy appeared within them and compressed to stay within his palms.
The Human then copied him! He also cupped his hands together, and followed Ken's same movements as he prepared the same attack! “Ka...Me...Ha...Me!”
They both yelled at the same time, unleashing their own attacks against the other.
“HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!”
Two blue beams filled the air as both attacks flashed towards each other, they attacks smashed together causing a struggle to occur. Ken however, was even more angry! He couldn't think anymore, the Human was beating his Kamehameha with the same move! He couldn't protect himself, which means he can't protect his sister! The human would bring them back to Earth and put them in the evil labs again, and his sister would...No, no it won't happen! He CAN'T MAKE THAT HAPPEN!
Ken's eyes shifted, his onyx colored eyes turned into a tealish hue, his muscles budged outward and his Ki levels increased dramatically. Ken's black hair flowed upward defying the laws of physics even further and turned into a golden color. Finally Ken yelled his scream of power and a golden fiery aura flowed around him, completing his transformation, and losing himself to his saiyan instincts.
Ken's Kamehameha wave increased two-fold and devoured Raze's own attack, it speed towards him ever closer, meter by meter. Until the so called 'human' realized he was gonna lose this one skirmish.
Raze knew he had to get out of the way, he stopped his own attack and quickly moved to the left, causing Ken's Kamehameha wave to shoot past him. Raze looked toward the Ken, his eyes widening for a brief instant before saying... “Wow, he's a Super Saiyan!”
The super saiyan hybrid flew upwards, his battle instincts controlling him as it lust for the fight. Ken glared at the human menacing.
The human, however, smiled and said “If that's how you want to play it, then by all means let's!”
The human's eyes changed color, his hair flew upward and changed from black to gold. He roared loudly as he completed his transformation, a golden aura flaring out from him. “HAAAAAAAA!!!!”
He looked to Ken and said. “Well I guess this should even the playing field!!” With that sentence he disappeared with shocking speed.
Ken's instincts instantly responded and he also disappeared. Soon, clashes in the sky could be heard as the two battle at high speeds, making golden marks in the sky and sound breaking parries and blocks.
Kira was shocked, the human wasn't a human at all! No human can transform into a super saiyan! They had made a terrible mistake and forgot all of Daddy's teachings and just instantly attacked him! Now Ken was going to get really hurt and Kira couldn't help because she was not strong enough to fight at that pace!
Kira looked at the fight, astounded and scared at the person called Raze. She heard Derpy ask her a question if this usual happens. But Kira was so dumb founded that she only replied with...
"He can go super saiyan?"
“Well of course he can! What did you think he was?” Derpy asked her, tilting her head in question.
Kira looked down, just as she thought, both her and Ken had thought he was human and guessed the worst before looking and gathering info like their father had told them to always do before rushing in. She kicked at the ground with the tip of her white boot, her tail limp as she replied sadly.
“Me and Ken thought he was a human...We didn't know he was like us.”
“So the best course of action was to punch him in the face?!” Derpy asked, she could hardly believe how they could come to that conclusion so quickly.
“We...well, we thought he was gonna take us back away from Equestria and put us in a lab again...” Kira said softly, she look onto the battle to see Ken losing, through putting up a great fight, he was gonna lose and get hurt.
“What would make you come to that conclusion? He has spiky hair!” Derpy exclaimed to Kira.
“Humans can have spiky hair too you know...” She replied with a hallow excuse.
“I'm pretty sure his hair is way to spiky for a human!” Derpy yelled at her.
"Mommy is gonna be so angry, she's gonna kill us with the frying pan for not thinking like we are suppose to..." Kira whispered to herself as she looked onto the fight above the sky.
Ken got another punch landed to him, he flew back a few feet before time slowed down around him, and he was drawn into his inner mind scape.
"Ken, I am very ashamed of you!"
Ken found himself in a replica of Goku's house, with his father, Chris Dell, looking down at him with anger in his face.
"Wha...what did I do?" Ken asked confused of what did he do wrong.
"You didn't think clearly, that's what, your not fighting a human! Can't you tell that humans of your world don't know how to use Ki? And definitely can't transform into super saiyans!" Chris scolded Ken, his arms crossed his he looked down at his son.
"I...I..."
"No excuse! Don't you also remember some of my friends, the Z-fighters are human? Not every human is bad Ken! Your half human yourself remember? Now you've lost control of your actions because of your anger!"
"I'm sorry daddy! I'll apologize right away and stop!" Ken cried to his father.
"I'm going to have to take over to calm you down...Look, next time listen to your mind more than your emotions. And Ken, you better hope he forgives you easily, because he could teach you a thing or two that I can't."
Ken nodded as he wiped his mental tears.
“It's time to stop playing around!” Raze said as he powered up his Super Saiyan transformation.
Ken flew forward despite the major discrepancy in power, calmness, and training. His rage over powered his other emotions and his thoughts were composed of battle instincts natural to his saiyan side. But suddenly he stopped, his Ki fluctuated between two different energies. Raze was confused at this sudden abrupt stop of the fight. 'What's he doing?'
Chris took over, and immediately started powering down. Making sure he didn't do it too fast, and also channeling his own Ki to heal Ken's wounds he got doing the battle. After he was down with that, he looked up to Raze and looked over him, he learned that looking into one's eyes can teach you many things. This Raze person would be a good teacher for the twins, but his eyes show loneliness and tragedy, he seems to hide behind a mask, through takes some of it off during battle. Also, he seems to be either a full-blooded or half-blood saiyan, possibly a quarter, but maybe their were other saiyan survivors out their in the galaxy he came from.
Chris signaled Raze to follow him down toward the ground, so that he could talk to him for a moment before giving control back to his son.
Raze quickly followed and stood on the ground seconds later. Raze powered down and looked at the Ken. Who Chris was still in control of.
“Who are you?” Raze asked him.
”I'm afraid I can't tell you that yet, even through your saiyan, probably a hybrid like my son here, I don't necessarily trust you, and neither does my kids. Now, Ken should be able to talk to you, and apologize for his rash actions. I hope you can forgive him easily.” Chris said, than he relinquished control of Ken's form and returned back into his sealed space within Ken's mind scape. Ken returned back to the world to see Raze standing before him suddenly his head trobed painfully, and he held his head from the headache, which seemed to have quickly disappeared soon after. Ken's wounds already finished healing thanks to the seal.
Ken looked at Raze and said sadly. “Hi...”
Raze replied with a smile. “Hi... I'm Raze”
“I'm Ken... I'm sorry for attacking you.” Ken said, kicking the dirt softly with his left foot. He didn't know, and he acted rashly, he was ashamed and his Dad gave him a good scolding for it too.
Raze only shrugged “It happens.”

Chapter 3: Meeting Raze
Raze shrugged "It happens."
Ken wiped his tears and smiled, he was happy that the man forgave him so easily. He looked around but didn't see his twin sister Kira.
He grabbed Raze's hand and said. "Come on, I'll show you sis!" Ken paused and sensed for his sister's Ki signature and easily found it, he then proceeded to dragged Raze toward the signature.
When the two arrived, Kira instantly grabbed Ken. "Ken are you hurt?" She concernedly asked. Kira looked over her brother for any injuries.
'Kira, I'm fine! Dad heals well.' Ken telepathically said.
'You sure? That guy seemed a lot stronger then brother, you could've been really hurt!' She mentally replied.
Ken grinned innocently. 'He didn't hit that hard! I'm fine!' He reassured her. Just then, Derpy hovered over to them and checked Ken, who pouted a bit in annoyance.
"He'll be fine Kira, no need to worry at all!” Derpy exclaimed to the young hybrid girl before joining back with Raze and the Doctor.
Kira decided to accept Derpy's word and stopped checking her twin brother. She then walked over to Ken's side, looked at Raze and said “I'm sorry for my brothers behavior” her tail wiggling anxiously as an awkward silence insured.
Raze arched an eyebrow “Um, how about we start over?” He asked them, putting out his right hand.
“I'm Raze.” He said, before waiting for their response.
Ken eagerly shook his hand, forgetting all that previously happened.
“I'm Ken!” He exclaimed loudly to him. Ken then pulled his sister toward him, “And this is Kira!”
The young hybrid girl shook his hand. “Hello Raze!” She said happily, her tail wagging in joy, glad that Raze was no longer fighting her brother.
“Well it's nice to meet you!” Raze said to the twins.
“So, where did yo-” Kira stopped as she heard her mom, Lyra, yell loud and clear. "Ken, Kira I'm home! And I brought dinner!" At the mention of food, the two twins forgot that Raze, The Doctor, and Derpy even existed and ran inside their home, blasting right through the door, make it slam open but thankfully not break, and proceeded towards the dining room.
"Yay dinner!" The twins yelled in unison. They sat at the table as Lyra brought the delicious complete set of food onto it. They almost grabbed it only to have their hands slabbed away.
"No, wait for Bon Bon!" Lyra said to them.
The twins faces pouted, they didn't like waiting with food right in front of them. Kira's tail wiggled in annoyance, and Ken groaned in wait. After a minute or two, Bon Bon finally arrived, finally! The twins looked at Lyra beggingly. Quickly both Lyra and Bon Bon got their meals before the two saiyan human hybrids tore the food apart.
As the twins tore through their dinner, Lyra and Bon Bon watched while eating their own food at a much slower pace.
"You know, I'll never get used to that." Bon Bon said.
Lyra nodded in agreement and said. "I know, it's still shocking to me as well." Before taking a bite out of her dinner.
"This ismh great foomd momma!" Ken talked with his mouth full.
"Ken, don't talk with your mouth full, you should know better already." Lyra told him.
Ken swallowed his food and apologized. "Sorry, I forgot." Then he proceeded to eat his food again.
Bon Bon looked toward Lyra saying "You know, your getting pretty good at this mother stuff."
"I know, it feels natural to me." Lyra responded.
"At least their is no more crazy things going on." Bon Bon said.
But Lyra felt uneasiness on what her house mate said. 'Oh no, when ever I feel this something is gonna happen.'
And something did, the backdoor had a knocking sound to it, Lyra looked the twins and saw their eyes widened as they had just remembered something. Probably the CMC in the backyard and they forgot.
Lyra looked at her adopted twins disapprovingly. “Did you invite somepony over and leave them in the backyard?” the twins didn't say anything for at the moment their mouths were full of delicious heavenly good food and Lyra just told them to not talk with their mouths full.
Lyra walked toward backdoor, a smile spread across her face. She turned the doorknob with her telekinesis and pulled the door open. “Hello come o-” She stopped abruptly in mid sentence when she looked up at a very tall person, who almost looked like if Ken had grown up to an adult.
'He looks like a human...' She thought, it certainly did look like a human, oh no, have they learned to travel to Equestria in order to capture Ken and Kira? Well she won't have non of that! They are her kids, not theirs!
Lyra spoke in a aggressive tone toward the 'human'. “I don't know who you are, but if you came for Kira and Ken, you can walk back to whatever place you came from you bastard.” She finished ominously, she prepared a knock-back spell to maximum charge pointing it toward him, her horn glowing a tealish hue in magical power.
Before she could blast the 'human' back, Clockwork suddenly stepped between her and the 'human'. “I think you might be making a mistake Lyra!” Lyra looked at him and tilted her head to the side, why was he here?
“Clockwork? What are you doing so far from your house?” Lyra asked him.
“I think you have me confused-” but he was interrupted as Ditzy pushed the human and Clockwork out of the way.
“Lyra! It's nice to see other world you!” Ditzy yelled, Lyra then smiled at the mail mare and replied.
“It's nice to see you too Ditzy, but what do you mean by other world me?” She asked her, in which Ditzy opened her mouth to reply only for Clockwork to shove his hoof in her mouth and pull her to his side. Strange when did they get together?
“What she means is... is... She had a dream where she went to another world and then she saw you again thinking about that dream, she said this based on her subconscious thoughts” Clockwork explained excursively to her quickly as Ditzy tried to rip his hoof out of her mouth.
'Strange...But, that human is still here, and he doesn't seem to want to leave! Better give him some 'encouragement'.' Lyra thought, and she looked back at the human with anger.
“Now go away Human! You won't be taking Ken and Kira back!” Lyra exclaimed, her horn charging up her knock-back spell that could knock even Ken and Kira back a couple feet to the ground.
“But I'm not a human!” the 'human' quickly said, but Lyra was not easily convinced.
She looked him over again, he looked human in every sense, still, he could be telling the truth...or lying! Her horn still charged, she said to him two words.
“Prove it.”
“So you want me to prove that I'm not human?” He questioned her so he could clarify what she meant.
“Well?” She said. “Get on with it! Or you can leave! The HARD way!” She yelled, pointed her magically charged horn at him.
“Well okay...” The 'human' seemed to look down at the ground before suddenly a white blade-like aura appeared around him. Then, the human's white aura flared out and changed into a golden fire, his eyes shifted into a teal color and his hair changed into a golden strand, which also stood more upright and spiky than before. His muscles budged out and gave him a more toned body, his transformation complete, he looked down at her.
“Proof enough?”He asked her. His powerful aura causing some cracks on the back porch floor.
Lyra only nodded dumbfoundly. “Wow, another Saiyan?” She asked him as she looked at him up and down.
“Well... Yes to be exact” He said, glad she finally saw reason. He then sighed and his transformation dropped, returning him to his normal state. “So... Can I come in? He asked.
Lyra nodded again and said “I guess you can come in.”
He signaled for Clockwork and Ditzy to follow him in. As they entered, Lyra closed the door behind them. Lyra looked at him and said “There's a couch in the living room, feel free to use it while I get Bon Bon”
Lyra then went toward the Dining room, and looked toward her twins.
"You have some explaining to do afterward, I was wondering why I saw golden movements in the sky." Lyra said to them, the twins looked down, ashamed at themselves.
"Now, go upstairs to your room and clean it up. I need to speak with this person, do you know his name?" Lyra questioned.
"Um, his name is Raze." Kira answered her mother.
Lyra nodded and looked toward Bon Bon. "Yeah, I know your upset that something like this is happening again, but please?"
Bon Bon sighed loudly. "Fine..."
They went toward the living room, Lyra sat down in a chair opposite from the couch and Bon Bon in another chair across from Lyra. Lyra looked at the three across from her and said “I want to know why you're here Raze.” giving the group across her a serious glance.
Clockwork smiled and said “I like a mare who get's straight to the point! Well the honest truth is we got here from another Ponyville in a different universe very similar to this one!” He said.
Naturally, Lyra and Bon Bon didn't believe him.
'Really...' They both thought.
“A different universe? How in the world do you expect me to believe you, if your going to lie to me already!?” Lyra asked them, she was annoyed that they instantly said something so bizarre. But Clockwork just gave her grin.
“I can show you the proof back at the TARDIS in your backyard.” He said to them as they looked mystified.
“What's a TARDIS?” Lyra asked him.
“It's the most wonderful machine in existence! It allows you to travel through time and apparently dimensions now...” Clockwork finished as Bon Bon opened her mouth.
“I knew it! Ever since you brought those kids in! The weirdest things seem to happen to us! Giant apes, pony-eating dragons, gods of chaos, and now a group of dimensional travelers!? How much worse could this get!?” Bon Bon finished in exasperation, annoyed and just plain not having a good time that something once again happened, and at their own house! She mean, the twins themselves were not that bad, but all those events going about ever since they appeared, it's crazy!
“We could be attacked by anything that happened to follow us during the dimensional time disruption and have to fight for our very lives before the world could end.” Clockwork finished while chuckling “But I'll be there to stop them, because muscle isn't always best way to stop something.” What's up with this version of Clockwork? Their Equestria must be weird, then again, they had their own times of weirdness.
“You sound way to happy about that...” Lyra trailed off as this version of Clockwork looked at her weirdly.
“Why wouldn't you be happy about something so deadly?” Clockwork asked her.
“Uh... What about you Ditzy? How did you end up with this nut?” Lyra asked her.
Ditzy smiled and said “My names Derpy and he's The Doctor! He's no nut!! He's brilliant!” She began thinking of all her times with him, and she was soon lost in her fantasies.
“Derpy? Derpy? That's your name? And your just the Doctor? Doctor Who?” Lyra asked him to confirm. This is all so weird.
“It's been so long since my real name has been said that I have grown to like the name Doctor” The Doctor said to Lyra.
“Now you, Raze? How did you get here into our universe?” Lyra asked Raze, her eyebrow raised in question.
“Well this a short story actually...” Raze paused for second then continued “I'm a Saiyan prince from the planet Absalon. I got transported here somehow by something... Actually it was never explained to me whether someone transported me from my world or summoned me here accidentally.... I don't even have a clue...” Raze finished as Lyra and Bon Bon looked at him with a bit of concern.
“You just happened to be transported to Equestria? Just like that? Nopony has contacted you at all? No confirmations or anything?” Lyra asked him to which Raze shrugged. 'Must be terrible not seeing any of his friends and family anymore.'
“No, I just don't have a clue....” Raze finished with a clueless look in her direction.
Lyra looked at Bon Bon and leaned her head towards the kitchen. Lyra trotted off into the kitchen and Bon Bon looked at the three on the couch “Sorry, but we need to talk about something in private real quick.” The two ponies then disappeared into the kitchen, leaving Raze and the Time Duo to sit there wondering what they're talking about.
Meanwhile, upstairs in the room of our heroes, Ken and Kira. The two twin hybrids finished picking up all the mess and put their dirty clothes in the laundry basket. Now, after putting their twin bunker back together, they were sitting on the orange colored carpet.
"What you think their talking about nii-san?" Kira said, using the Japanese variant for brother.
"Um, I don't know...Maybe they're talking about how Raze got here?" Ken said questioningly.
"Maybe...How did Raze get here anyway?" Kira asked, her tail curling up into a question mark.
"Uhh...Let's find out then!" Ken exclaimed, standing upright.
"But, won't we get in trouble?" She said.
"Nah! We'll be really quiet, and stay near the stairs to hear them!" He said to her.
"Doesn't your plans usual not work?"
"That's different! We'll at home this time, what could go wrong?"
"We could be caught by mommy and then she will punish us with no dessert or snacks for a week." She answered.
Ken flinched slightly, why does his sister always use these things against him.
"We'll be fine, come on!" He grabbed her hand and dragged her with him out their room. They snuck around stuff in the all way, but Kira stepped on a rubber ducky, which made a quack noise. They froze, but heard nothing and continued their way toward the stair case, they knocked a small bouncy ball down the stairs, but stayed and listened.
But it seemed Raze had taken noticed of them, and turned in their direction saying “Well, we know you two have been listening in!” He yelled to them.
“I told you they heard us brother!” Kira exclaimed at her twin brother.
“Well we did hit several things on the way down...” Ken said as he remembered the rubby ducky and bouncy ball, and at least trying no to go fast while floating down, but at the same time keeping as quiet as possible. Which they failed miserably at.
“Actually I just sensed you... Your energy travels you know!” Raze explained as the twins finally walked into view.
'Tch, tch, Ken I thought I told you about masking your energy.' Chris said to him.
'Hehe, sorry Dad, I forgot.' Ken replied back to him.
'Huh? Uh...We forgot about hiding our energies didn't we?" Kira thought to her brother.
'Yep! Don't worry through, we won't forget next time...I think.'
Ken took a quick glance around the room looking for his mother and Bon Bon, but seeing no sigh of them, he sensing two in the kitchen, he turned to Raze and said. “Is Mommy and Bon Bon in the kitchen?”
“Yes, yes they are.” Derpy said to them.
Kira's tail wiggled in wonder as she tried to guess what they might be talking about.
'Maybe their talking about Raze and his friends, or maybe some other stuff, I hope it isn't some bad about us...Don't really want to feel that frying pan again so soon.'
Ken in the meantime, was staring at the object hanging beside of the Doctor, human curiosity getting the better of him he speedily grabbed it and started quickly examining it like a new toy.
“What's this thing?” He asked the Doctor, whom immediately grabbed it back.
“It's a Sonic Screwdriver! It unlocks any lock in the universe and, makes high frequency death traps for some enemies! Very useful in cut and dry situations!” The Doctor explained proudly, the twins looked at the device like they just discovered a new toy, and that they did.
“Whoa... Any lock?” Ken asked the Doctor.
“Indubitably!” The Doctor said to Ken, who seemed to smile at the reply.
'Hehe, just think of what we can do with that!'
'Ken, we could get in trouble for taking it. That would be stealing!'
'Nah, it's not stilling if we give it back! Plus we're only gonna use it to open that one lock on that cliff wall!' Ken telepathically said to his sister.
'But, isn't that place locked for a reason?'
'I'm sure Raze won't mind if he came with us! That way with two super saiyans we'll be fine!'
Inside the seal on Ken's stomach, his father, Chris, was face-palming for deal life.
Soon, Lyra and Bon Bon trotted back in the living and sat down. Lyra motioned for the twins to sit down, and they did so happily. She looked up toward the group and said.
“Alright, we have decided to help you!”
'Help him with what?' Both the twins thought.

Chapter 4: Sleep and Seals
“Alright, we have decided to help you!” Lyra said to them, Bon Bon nodding in agreement next to her.
“Really?” Raze asked them, In which both of them nodded.
“Of course! Why not? Do you think we would just make you go off somewhere else or something?” Lyra asked Raze. She had every attention of never doing such a thing! That would make her a bad pony.
“I'm not sure... Would you?” he asked Lyra.
“If I didn't think I could trust you, this would've ended differently.” She replied flat out loud, Raze nodded in acknowledgment. “Now, any questions?” Lyra asked them 'Please don't let it be a big one...' She thought.
“Okay then, how about this! Why does Ken and Kira hate humans?” Raze asked her.
Lyra eyes widened. 'Why does it have to be that one! Ken and Kira are so sensitive about that... I can't answer that, and the twins differently don't wanna talk about it.' She looked toward her adopted children to see them looking away from Raze, trying to avoid the question.
Lyra looked at him and asked “Can we skip that question?” She finished with a hopeful glance in his direction.
The Doctor got in front of Raze saying to him, “Now is not the time to be questioning them that! They're obviously not comfortable about it, so ask something else or just let me talk if you can't think of anything.” He finished.
“Alright, I gotcha... Where do we sleep?” He then asked the simple question, which he then received it's simple answer.
“Thank you for respecting our privacy, you'll sleep on this couch.” Lyra then looked at Derpy and said “The chair I'm sitting in is a recliner, so you can sleep here If you want too.”
“Okay! Thanks Lyra!” Derpy exclaimed causing Lyra to smile at her.
“Your welcome Derpy, Doctor you can sleep in the other recliner that Bon Bon is sitting in.” Lyra said to him, pointing her hoof towards the second recliner.
“Actually I'll be sleeping in the TARDIS, so I can fix it and have tabs on it for most of my time here, and frankly, I don't want to be a bother” The Doctor said to her quickly. He clearly wanted to get his sexy blue box repaired as fast as possible, then maybe 'convince' Raze it still needs time and explore this version of Equestria.
“Well if that's your choice I can't stop you.” The cyan pony replied to him. 'Okay... I like our version of Clockwork a lot better.'
“Well that's perfect! We'll get everything else settled in the morning. Soon it'll be like we never even existed!” The Doctor said as he ran out the backdoor and toward the crashed TARDIS.
Lyra looked slightly confused and turned her attention toward Derpy asking, “Is he always like that?”
“Pretty much!” Derpy said, trotting over to Lyra.
'Great... At least he's not all sciencey towards the twins.'
Lyra got up off the recliner and said to them. “I'll get some blankets for you and Raze!” She then trotted off towards the stairs and went into her room, which had gone a makeover since she adopted the two human hybrids, no longer did it have notes and pictures of the human world, now it had musical instruments and songs that she can use for work to get bits.
She throttled over to the closest, which had boxes full of the old human stuff. She glanced over it before turning her attention to the pile of blankets within a drawer. Lyra picked some blankets up and made her way out of the room and down the stairs.
Ken and Kira watched as their mother went up the stairs, they saw Raze turn to them with a apparent question on his mind.
“So, how's the food here? How's the apples?” He asked.
Our little munchkins eagerly replied to this question, as this was one of their favorite subjects of chat. Of course, being half saiyan, why wouldn't it be?
“The food is great! Especially when mommy cooks!” Ken happily said.
“Apples are tasty, our friend Applebloom's family owns the farm nearby. They make the best apples ever!” Kira also said, her tail wiggling about joyfully at the thought of apples.
'Yes, they have apples here!' Raze thought to himself.
Lyra came back downstairs about two minutes later with blankets in her magical grasp. She passed one to each of them and saying “There ya go! I'm think I'm going to bed as well, and that means Ken and Kira need to come to bed too!” She finished looking toward the two mentioned saiyan kids..
Ken and Kira looked at Lyra, and then at the clock, seemingly shocked that time had pass by so quickly. But not ones to disobey their mother, the two saiyan hybrids stood up and walked over to her, they turned to Raze and Derpy and waved a quick good bye. “See ya in the morning!” They said in unison, their twin voices matching up perfectly in sync.
They walked upstairs into the hallway, before entering the room Lyra came up to them.
"Goodnight Ken and Kira, love you." She gave them a kiss goodnight then the two twins entered their room.
After closing the door, Kira looked to her brother.
"Ken." She said.
"Yeah sis?" Ken replied.
"Did something seem off to you? Like their was another presence?"
"Mmh, yeah it felt like someone else was watching."
"Who do you think it was?" Kira questioned, her tail forming into a semi-question mark.
"I don't know" Ken yawned and rubbed his eyes. Kira smiled and said...
"Let's go to sleep."
"Ok." Ken replied. They both put on they PJ's and brushed their teeth before dozing off into sleep.
While Ken was having a peaceful dream in his own mind, a dream about food and toys, within the seal that lay on his stomach, his father Chris Dell, worked about.
"Seems like someone went to sleep, that's good." Chris said to himself, as he walked through his seal's forest.
"Through still got a few bruises to heal, and I need to check up on...it."
Chris walked through the forest until he meet two doors. In one was were Ken was dreaming his valley of food and toys, his childish and innocence preserved throughout the years finally able to show itself when they came to Equestria. However, in the other door, lay the bitterness, loneliness, and hatred, the result of his physical and mental abuse on the cursed version of 'Ken's Earth'.
And when stuff like that happens, it's either bottle it up, or go mad. And when someone bottles up something for so long, sometimes a shift personality happens. Chris knows, from the moment he saw Raze's eyes, that Raze himself has one of these.
Through at least his seems to be far less dangerous than Ken's.
Chris reached to open the door to enter the massive hall way that lay within, however he sensed something that was not right. He sensed two presences, two presences that should not be here at all. Not here in Ken's mind, nor the seal. But Raze couldn't, or shouldn't be here in the first place, he shouldn't have that power as it's similar to his own. And if he knew he could do that, Chris would've taught Kira how to do it so it'll be easier to talk to his daughter, and see her of course.
Chris powered up his white aura and flew right out of the forest and toward his custom-made capsule house. Ki sensing becoming easier and clearer as he drew closer, yep it was definitely Raze alright.
'Hmm, the other presence disappeared. Something isn't right.' He thought.
Once Chris reached the Capsule house area, he spotted Raze in the sky and asked, more like demanded, a question with an answer.
“What are you doing here?”
“I decided to explore and stuff...” Raze said,.
'Oh yes, by all means use the most generic and likely lie in the multiverse.' Chris thought, his arms crossed as he wasn't buying it.
“You can't travel between dreams with your powers, and the only being that has moved from one mind to another was myself, and that was a special case.” Chris said, then he continued “Which also means that you either have an item, which you don't look like you have, or another person or creature aided you into doing this. So, where is this said being?” He said scientifically.
“I'm not gonna tell you anything till I hear your name!” Raze said.
He mentally sighed 'Yep, quick change from calm and content to angry and demanding, flash of super saiyan eye color, which most likely means he had a rough childhood. Kinda like Vegeta in that regard, must have something to do with family.'
Chris gave Raze an extremely serious glare and Raze returned it with intensity. He then said out loud“Wow, you went all serious just like Ken use to do! Someone must have had a rough childhood.”
'Return glance with intensity, check.'
“Well? Come on! Tell me your name and I'll tell you what you want to know!” Raze said to him.
'Continuation of previous demand with hint of annoyance, a very Vegeta like reply. What is this guy, his descendant or something? Or is my previous assumption of an bad past correct? Or perhaps both?'
“Alright, shesh! My name is Chris Dell, Z-fighter, father of munchkins Ken and Kira! And my saiyan name is Karmel if you want extra detail.” Chris said to the annoyed saiyan.
“Wow, I didn't expect you to be honest...” Raze said as he had extended his aura to feel for dishonesty, but he couldn't feel it as Chris had his aura suppressed.
'Seriously?'
“Of course you didn't, no person can trust someone having only met them once. But I'll spare you the trouble in return for your own honesty. So how are you able to be here right now?” Chris questioned Raze.
“Discord come on out!” Raze said as Discord popped into existence beside Chris.
'WHAT!'
Chris instantly fazed out and reappeared 4 feet away from Draconoquis. In fighting stance, but then calmed down as he remembered something.
'No, calm yourself Chris, they're from an parallel world, this Discord might be different. Neither the less, I'll have to be cautious.'
“Oh nothing, just exploring other people's minds besides Raze's for once.” Discord said, answering a question that Raze answered horribly only a couple minutes ago.
“You should leave Discord, I suspected it was a different version of you. But if Ken sees you then your as good as dead!” Chris said to the Draconoquis whom ignored him.
“Actually I'm a fan of your work Chris! Nice job saving Gohan from that portal!” Discord exclaimed as he clapped to Chris.
Chris's eyes widened “How did you know about that?” He questioned the chaotic spirit.
“How wouldn't I know about that? I have powers that allow me to have multiple viewing of different universes! Anything is possible when your the Spirit of Disharmony and Lord of Chaos!” Discord said loudly and proudly to a somewhat stunned Chris, but it wasn't the ability that he was surprised, it was the personality difference.
“Is he always like this?” Chris asked Raze, he wanted to make sure.
“Yeah, pretty much....” Raze trailed off.
'Well, at least he's not going about talking about extinction games and ruling Equestria with an iron claw.'
Discord smiled at Chris and pulled out a piece of paper and pen “Can I have your autograph Chris?!”
Chris had zoned out. 'Okay, there from another world like this one, and this Discord isn't nearly as evil as this world's Discord. Traveling dimensions must really be a pain.' He thought to himself before finally shaking his head.
“No you can't have my autograph!” Chris said to Discord who then frowned.
“But!” Discord said before Chris gave him a serious glance.
“No buts! I swear you act like a kid...” He whispered the last part. 'And I thought my munchkins were the kids.' Chris thought. He then turned to Raze and said.
“How about we continue this conversation down to ground and leave Discord to his own devices.” Chris then turned to Discord “Don't destroy my forest or enter Ken's mind!” he said to him threateningly.
'I swear to the Kai's if he enters Ken's current dream or the other door I'm going to give him a beating that our Discord would've begged to it to stop!'
“Got it boss!” Discord said as he gave Chris a salute.
Chris then landed beside his capsule house, with Raze landing right beside him.
“Raze what exactly is your goal while your stuck here in this universe?” Chris questioned our hero.
“To do whatever I can to make the wait go by faster I suppose. Or I could play along and have an adventure! Depends on whether I should hang out with the twins or not through...” Raze trailed off as he thought about it.
'Hm, Raze seems to hold a lot of power, I believe from what I sensed earlier today, just a little below Super Vegeta. So he's got to have experience to back it up, he could really help the munchkins control their power and learn more advanced forms of martial arts from a teacher autacally being there, then just within a seal. Not only that, but the more Ken, Kira, and Raze converse and hang out, the more likely Raze would be able to deal with any alter ego and any future decisions, same with the twins.' Chris put his mind to work as he thought of all of this. Mentally nodding to his thinking process, he looked at Raze.
“I think you should hang out with my kids and train them!” Chris exclaimed making Raze snap back to reality or at least it was a subconscious reality.
“You want me to train them? I don't think they're ready for gravity training! Ken can hardly control his Super Saiyan state as it is! Not to mention I have no idea about Kira!” Raze exclaimed, seemingly attempting to come up with excuses to not train the two twins.
“That's where you come in! You power from what I can sense, is around the level of Super Vegeta! Maybe a bit less, but you're closing in on becoming the Full Power Super Saiyan! I know that you have to know about advanced moves for you to have gotten this strong and my kids could use the extra knowledge! Will you help?” Chris explained expertly, making Raze grow on the idea of training the two twins.
“Well.... I guess it couldn't hurt... Ken does need the practice and Kira appears to be quite energetic!” Raze said as the idea began to grow on him.
'Hook, line, and sinker.'
“See? That's the spirit! And speaking of spirits... What's he doing?” Chris asked, the two saiyans then glanced toward the Spirit of Chaos's direction.
Discord had a camera being setup and he was saying things like “I'm getting a picture with two Saiyans, and one is a Z-Fighter! This goes in my cherished memories folder!”
“I think he want's a picture to commemorate the moment...” Raze said to Chris.
“Well I guess I'll play along, It's a bit creepy though. Is he obsessed with our universe this badly?” Chris questioned the saiyan beside him.
Raze shrugged “Yeah... He says it gave him the best entertainment in his many years of imprisonment. He even says he was able to somewhat influence the villains to do stupid things!” Raze told Chris.
“How did he influence them?”
“He made Frieza want to attack Goku after he got cut in half, then he sort of influenced Cell's insanity to the point of near breakdown because of Gohan's over powered self.”Raze said. Chris laughed out loud as he remembered certain events.
'Ah, I remember King Kai telling me what happened to Freiza, so that's why he did that!'
“That's actually kind of funny! Which universes did he do that in? Because that sounds nearly the same as my universe when all that went down.” He said.
“He never specified whether or not he watched and influenced multiple universes at a time. I assume that he did his level best to mess with the villains before they all got killed.” Raze said to Chris whom then smiled.
“I like this Discord more than this universe's Discord.” Chris said to Raze.
“What's your universe's Discord like Chris?” Raze asked Chris.
“He's a murderer with no other goal than to make this world a miserable hell” Chris said seriously, his aura giving out an angry tone.
“WHAT!? I'm a murderer here!? I would never murder anypony or anyone! That's not chaotic that's just plain out horrible! I only want to have fun and make a chaotic landscape full of pink! That's all! Ponies always think it means I want to be evil or something, I love laughing! How's that evil?” Discord went on and on about how killing was wrong and how he should have a talk with his other self.
'Yep, definitely prefer this Discord. Through he is very annoying.'
“Discord, When are we getting that picture?” Chris said making Discord snapped to attention.
“Right now Sir!” Discord set the camera up in front of them and got between the two Saiyans.
“Everyone say Chocolate Milk!” Discord said as he gave his best smile.
Chris and Raze both smiled and the snap was heard. Discord went over and got the picture and began to fan it rapidly.
“Alright, can you both leave now? I gotta heal some left over bruises from Ken and yours battle.” Chris said.
“Wait, what you mean heal?” Raze curiously asked.
“Have you not noticed? We're not in Ken's mind, we are in a seal implanted onto his body.”
“A Seal? How did you get in the seal in the first place?” Raze questioned.
“Hey Discord, you remember how I was sucked into that portal after saving Gohan?”
Discord looked toward Chris with a grin upon his face as he continued to fan out the picture. “Course I do! You were sucked into an alternate dimension I assume? A non-magical one at that since I couldn't pin-point you.”
'Well, at least this Discord is not an idiot.'
“Correct! Well, when I arrived in that dimension I was fading because It was very strict on Ki. So I searched for the closest and most similar signature to myself, which was Ken, he was about...five years old? And he was fully human then.” Chris explained.
“He was fully human!? Then how is he half saiyan now?” Raze said in shock.
“When I found him, he agreed for me to be sealed within him. Now, I learned how to seal myself from one of my teachers, King Kai. When I sealed myself within him, the complicated seal network engraved itself on Ken's human body. His body made a drastic change and he became a half saiyan hybrid, he used to have red hair you know.”
'I'm sure glad I asked about other techniques besides the ones he was teaching at that moment.'
“Then why does Ken and Kira both hate humans? And how did Kira turn half saiyan since she is his twin?” Raze asked, only to get a shake of declination.
“I'm sorry, you have to ask Ken or Kira for permission to learn about those. It's their life after all. Now you should leave, I still have work to do.”
Discord nodded and prepared his magic. Raze looked around and said “Chris? One last question!”
“Shoot!” Chris said.
“Why do you make your Dream-scape have only one capsule house and woods all around it?” Raze asked him.
“Well, It reminds me of my old home! See ya later Raze and Discord! And next time, just ask Ken to meet me!” Chris waved as they disappeared.
"Oh Kami, please ask Ken next time! I hope they won't ever go into Ken's mind area!" Chris said to himself, he suddenly shivered like something was gonna happen.
"Must be getting cold in here, probably was a cold breeze from the window in Ken's room."
Journey of Saiyans (Twin Version)
Chapter 5: Just Another School Day
Crossover Saga
Chapter 5: Just Another School Day
This morning went like any other morning for the two kid heroes. Lyra woke up and then awakened the twins for school. The children got up and dressed, cleaned themselves, put their supplies into their backpacks, and headed downstairs. Ken and Kira ate a quick breakfast of frost-tarts (They seriously have an addiction to the things) and wished the now awakened Raze and Derpy goodbye, Derpy and Lyra handed them their packed lunches and they left off for school.
Our hybrid twin heroes arrived at the school in good timing, setting their backpacks onto the wall hooks alongside everypony's own saddle bags. They got their homework from yesterday and turned it in, as well as getting the school books and seating on their desk waiting for class to begin.
With their friends, the Cutie Mark Crusaders Applebloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Bell so close. They decided to have a chat about today's events.
"So, are we doing more crusading today?" Ken asked.
Applebloom replied in a little sad tone. "Sorry Ken, I have to help my sis at the farm so I can't crusade today, sorry."
Ken waved it off. "Don't worry about it, it happens!" The saiyan hybrid looked toward the others. "What about you two?"
Sweetie Bell shook her head. "Sorry, I have to stay with my sister Rarity today." They turned to look at Scootaloo who was... staring at Ken for some reason.
The human saiyan titled his head in a cute manner, confused at the staring. "Um... Scootaloo?" He waved his hand in front of her, still the staring continued. "Scoots? You ok?" He snapped his fingers.
"Uh, who, what?" The Pegasus finally said.
"You were staring at me, it kinda looked weird." Ken said to her.
"Oh, sorry about that, guess I got lost thinking about Rainbow Dash! Ha ha!" She laughed nervously and sarcastically. The twins and CMC took her word for it, causing her to sigh mentally in relief.
"Um- Okay!" Ken said. The bell rang and the teacher, Ms. Cheerilee entered the classroom.
"Today class, we're going to start off with history." She said, the class groaned and mourned at the said subject.
A hour later of pain and tor- I mean, wonderful and interesting history lessons, the class finally shifted toward another subject.
STORY TIME! *SQUEE*
Everyone's favorite subject, today Ms. Cheerilee was reading Daring Doo and the Last Lunaraude. And even through the being inside Ken muttered something about an Indiana Jones ponified, Ken was enjoying the literature piece quite well.
All the little fillies, colts, boy, and girl, sat around the teacher on the floor. Ken and Kira were at the back of the group, being generally bigger than the young ponies, and that Kira's saiyan tail tended to swish back and forth time to time.
"Daring Doo glided over to the chariot, engaging in hoof to hoof combat with the Griffon ruffian. She gained the upper hoof by bucking a nearby rope which untied the luggage and collapsed over the ruffian. And that is all for today." Ms. Cheerilee said, closing the book and receiving a 'Aw' from her children audience.
She smiled and looked over toward the clock. "3... 2... 1..." *RING* The school bell rang, indicating Lunch time had begun.
"Yay!" The children cheered, they all went to gather their lunches and head outside into the nice sunlight.
Back to our hero and heroine, Ken and Kira were heading out the door with their lunches in hand, unfortunately they came across the local school bullies.
"Well look who's here, it's the two monkeys of Ponyville." The purplish pink filly, Diamond Tiara, insulted, swishing her hair in a show off matter.
"Yeah, the two monkeys!" Her subordinate, Silver spoon added.
Ken frowned "We're not monkeys!" He angrily replied.
"Whatever, go eat your bananas. Let's go, I don't wanna get poo flung at me." She insulted further before turning her back on the twins and walking away.
Ken growled at her retreating form, Kira frowning at the insults that were directed at both her brother and herself.
"I can't wait to get back at her." Ken whispered, his arms crossed in annoyance.
"But, if we do that, then wouldn't we be the bullies?" Kira said, knowing the answer.
Ken sighed. "Why do you have to be right all the time?" He said, calmed down from the recent insults.
"Well, I'm not right all the time." She replied, then turned around and saw their friends the Cutie Mark Crusaders. "Hey ken, our friends are over there!" The saiyan girl finished, pointing toward the said group's location.
The two hybrid children then made there way toward the group of fillies, who were sitting at a table with their own lunches out and already being eaten. With lunch bags in hand, the twins sat on the table and soon begun eating their own lunches.
As they were eating, a familiar figure to the twins appeared. It was Raze, who had just entered the school grounds and had some other ponies staring at his grown figure. He made his way toward our two heroes and greeted them happily.
“Ah, there you two are!” Raze exclaimed toward the two twins.
“Raze!” The two twins exclaimed, surprised to find the fully grown saiyan in their own school.
“Hey you two, I was wondering if you would show me around a bit.” Raze said happily.
“We'd love too! But, we kinda have school right now.” Kira replied to Raze, he really wanted too, but mommy would be angry at him if they ditched school. That, and daddy would be too.
“Oh that's fine, I can wait.” He sat down on the wooden bench table beside Ken, he then looked toward the CMC and questioned twins about them. “Who's your friends?”
Naturally, the three fillies spoke up.
“Oh, we can answer that! I'm Scootaloo!” The young Pegasus yelled in excitement.
“I'm Sweetie Bell.” Sweetie Bell said calmly, her voice brim with intelligence.
“And I'm Applebloom!” The country filly, Applebloom, exclaimed in a western accent.
It was at this moment, the twins had a flash back of what happened the last time they did an introduction, and knowing what would happen, quickly covered their ears as soon as possible! Bracing themselves for the loudest yell in existence, unless Super Saiyan 3 existed and somehow required lots of yelling, but EVERYONE knows that it DOESN'T exist. (*cough*theydontknow*cough*)
“And we're...” The three fillies began.
Kira noticed that Raze figured it out too late, and pitied him.
“THE CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS!” They CMC screamed in unison.
In that instant, Raze to cover his ears in pain. Possibly in extreme pain, Ken and Kira knew too well of it, but even they don't know if the hearing is the same as a half saiyan hybrid, Raze possibly has even more enhanced hearing.
"Are you okay Raze?" Ken asked the older saiyan warrior.
“What?” He replied, rubbing his ears.
"Ken said, Are you okay?" Kira replied concernedly.
“What did you say?” Raze replied.
“I SAID ARE YOU OKAY?!” Ken yelled at him, not knowing that Raze's hearing came right back to him at that moment.
Raze to held his ears in pain once again. Thankfully, his hearing came back quicker due to Ken's voice not being as loud.
“Oh, I'm sorry Raze.” Ken apologized, feeling guilty that he caused more pain to Raze.
“It's fine...” The Saiyan replied, rubbing his ears for the last time. Before returning to whatever he was doing before, which, he thinks was learning about the twins.
“So, um, how is life here?” Raze asked.
“It's great! We play with our friends, and get to spar a lot, and have wacky adventures!” Ken explained with happiness.
“Even though those 'wacky' adventures get us in trouble a lot.” Kira commented. “And most of the time it's Ken and Scootaloo's fault.” She tensed the two.
“Hey!” Both of the yelled simultaneously.
“Well, it's true! Specially you brother!” Kira said, pointing at Ken excursively.
Ken pouted a bit, but then smiled and scratched the back of his head knowingly. “Yeah, I guess it is hehe.”
*Ring!*
The three fillies and the twins groaned, class... Kira turned to Raze. “Sorry Raze, we gotta head back to class now. Maybe you should go eat lunch? If you got uh... bits? Yeah bits are the money here.'
“Right, thanks for the idea of what to do Kira.” Raze replied.
“Your welcome Raze!” Kira said, her tail wiggling behind her as she turned to head back into class, leaving Raze to decided what to do.
The hybrid saiyan human twins, and their friends, entered the school house and sat down. After a full minute of everyone sitting down, Ms. Cheerilee came out and, with a smile, said aloud to the group of children.
"It's time for Arts and Crafts." The children smiles and some cheered, this was one of their favorite subjects.
Cheerilee brought a wagon with materials on it, it looked like glue and macaroni, wait they had macaroni here? Do they have macaroni and cheese? Ken filed it away in his mind to ask his mom later for it.
The teacher pass out the bags and told the students to share the 'sticky on' substance. She then told them they can work with a partner, at that mention everypony immediately called out names.
Not surprised for the class, Ken and Kira's name was one of those mostly yelled out. Reason? Hands of course! No unicorn could control their magic yet, and it was not that easy to pick up a macaroni piece with your hooves as it was to squirt out some of the 'sticky on'. Ken and Kira's hands were very useful to making art pieces with small things.
Scootaloo got Ken as she called him first, a pony called Gatoress Rade got our heroine Kira as her partner.
A surge of energy then made it's way all the way to the twins and the first one who felt it was Ken, he looked at the ceiling “Something happening right now...”
Scootaloo looked at him with a confused glance. “What makes you say that?”
“Oh, no reason” The little saiyan hybrid said with a grin. Before turning his attention back to his arts and crafts.
“Uh... what
"Um, I think we were making... uh... a skateboard?" Scootaloo unsurely said.
Ken thought of it, then shrugged and said. "Okay then!"
Compared to the rest of the class, it didn't take long for Ken and Scootaloo, and also Kira and Gatoress Rade, to complete their projects. Hands are so useful. Ms. Cheerilee walked around the class, looking at her student's creations.
"A skateboard, well done you two." She praised both Ken and Scootaloo.
"Thanks!" They replied.
She went over to Kira's and Gatoreess's, which revealed to be a bunny. Quite well done like the skateboard before, perhaps even better.
"That looks like a really nice bunny you two." The teacher praised them as well.
"Thank you Miss Cheerilee." Gatoress said.
"Thanks Cheer-sensai!" Kira replied with the honorific suffix.
The school bell rang again, everypony and the two twin hybrids made their way and packed their bags. Ken and Kira sat on a bench awaiting Lyra's arrival to pick them up, or Bon-Bon to pick them up, whichever came first. They began chatting with each other to pass the time.
"So... What do you want to do today?" Ken asked.
"I don't know, what do you want to do today?" Kira replied.
"I don't know, what do you want to do today?" Ken grinned as he replied.
The two giggled childishly at the small humor, then they spotted Raze from the distance coming up to them. They smiled with glee as they watch the full-blooded saiyan walk up to them, greeting them with a resounding...
“Hey!” He said happily.
“Hi Raze!” Kira responded cheerfully, her small saiyan tail wagging with happiness. She looked up toward the much taller saiyan with both curiosity and joy.
“Hiya Raze.” Ken said as he thought what they could do today when they got home.
“So, um... What you two doing?” Raze questioned them.
“Waiting for mommy to pick us up, what about you Raze?” Kira both responded and asked.
“Even though she's gonna be late today...“ Ken commented.
“Uh, well, I decided to pick you up from School today! And we're going to do something together!”
The twins faces lightened up immediately, something to do, and with Raze! What could it be? Training? Sparring? A game? Some sort of contest? Whatever it could be, it was sure to be fun!
The two twins jumped from the bench, backpacks still latched around them. They went up to the saiyan before them joyfully as they seemed to now have a burst of energy.
“Yay! Let's go! Come on Raze let's go!” Ken said, eager to get going to whatever they were going to.
“What we doing today Raze? You can tell us!” The little saiyan female, Kira, shouted with glee.
“Well...”

Hello everyone!
Journey of Saiyans is now CANNONIZED for Saiyan of Equestria.

Chapter 6: Gravity For Children
Crossover Saga
Chapter 6: Gravity For Children
“Well... I was thinking that maybe you both would want to train?” Raze asked them, they walked down the dirt road to Lyra's home, nearby ponies still working they're next few hours before the sun starts setting.
“Really! You wanna train us?!” the two twins exclaimed in sync, their voices in perfect coordination with each other.
“Yeah, I have the extra Gravity chamber and everything!” Raze said, patting a area in his pants where a capsule containing his capsule box was.
'Huh?' Kira thought, her tail wiggled in curiosity at the mention of this... Gravity chamber. So she decided to ask the full grown saiyan.
“What's a gravity chamber?” the little saiyan questioned.
“A gravity chamber is a place where you can train at different weights, like the weighted clothing you wear!” Raze replied.
"What's gravity?" Ken asked, they were still unfamiliar with this piece of science as they went to a pony school who were like pre-industrial, and they never had any human education.
"Gravity is... It's like what pulls you down when you fall, and it helps keep you on the ground and not float into space when your not using your Ki, you get it?"
"So it helps us stay on the ground?" Ken questioned, just to make sure if he got it.
"Yeah, it's... it's like weight too, the more Gravity, the more your heavy you are."
"So gravity is just weight then?" Kira asked, looking up to him as she walked alongside her twin brother.
“Yeah except it's based on the planet you're on. The gravity on this planet is the same as Earth's gravity, so we'll probably start at three times this gravity.” Raze said as they neared their destination.
“Three times this gravity? I wonder what that will be like." Ken said. 'Maybe it makes up fatter? Eww."
'I don't think it makes us fatter silly. Raze said it was like our weighted clothes remember?' Kira confirmed telepathically.
'Oh yeah! That's right!' Ken thought back. The two twins stopped when the older saiyan stopped walking, they looked over to see Bon-Bon at the front door of home.
Bon Bon turned around waved at the two small children and the older saiyan. The twins ran forward and gave their mom's friend a hug.
“You picked up the twins today Raze?” Bon Bon asked Raze, said person nodded in return.
“Yep! I thought it was the least I could do considering you both let me, Derpy, and the Doctor stay here.” Raze said to Bon Bon.
“Well, I'll open the house for you three and then I'll go tell Lyra that you picked them so she doesn't worry.” With that, Bon Bon opened the door and then let them inside.
“I'll be back soon with Lyra, so get into any trouble alright?” Bon Bon asked them.
“I'm responsible! I'll make sure they're both alright!” Raze said, Bon Bon looked at the twins expectantly. The two twins instantly knew that the pony was expecting them of being troublemakers again. Hey, that frying pan cart moved on it's own, it was monster in disguise they knew it!
“Bye Bon Bon! We'll stay out of trouble!” Ken and Kira said in unison, their innocent childish faces making it easy to believe.
“Okay then...” with that, Bon Bon closed the door behind herself leaving the three by themselves.
'She still thinks we're gonna cause trouble, doesn't she?' Ken thought to his sister.
'Yeah... I think she does.' Kira telepathically replied, her tail waving in the wind.
“Raze, do we get to see the gravity chamber soon?” Ken asked in excitement, his fist to his chest and elbows bent in a manner that would only make a child look cuter. Of course he didn't know better, he was only excited for what they were going to do today.
“Come on! In the backyard I'll be able to set it down and show you just how much both fun and difficult training in gravity will be!” Raze exclaimed as he went through the back door. Closely the two twins followed their new supposed sensai, ecstatic to learn about new techniques and a chance to train with someone new.
'What do you think he's gonna teach us?' Ken questioned.
'I don't know, maybe Raze will show us this really really cool move! That like beats up the bad guys in one hit!' Kira thought to him.
'Yeah, that would be so cool ,and awesome, and uh... Cool!' Ken excitedly replied, if he still had his tail, it would be wagging back and forth rapidly for sure.
They continued to follow Raze, but when Raze opened the door, he bumped into Derpy whom had saddlebags tied around her.
“Hey Derpy!” He said in minor surprise to the Pegasus.
“Hey Raze!” She looked around to see the twins behind Raze and said “Hey Ken and Kira!”
“Hi Derpy!” The twins both said together, Ken and Kira both walked to either side of the full grown saiyan warrior, effectively putting them outside of the house with Raze.
“What are you three up to?” Derpy curiously asked.
Ken, being Ken, spoke up first “Me and sis are going to train with Raze!”
His sister cheerfully added on “Yeah!” Her little hybrid's tail wagging behind her in excitement.
“I was about to set down the gravity chamber, do wanna watch Derpy?” Raze asked.
Raze dug into his pocket and pulled out this white thingy, it was small and had a button on top, he pressed the button and with some smoke a colored box appeared with some strange letters on it. Raze rummaged through the box for something.
Derpy then replied. “I guess... Only for a minute though! The Doctor needs more butter! And I need muffin mix!” She sat down on her haunches in wait with the two twins. At the word of muffins, the twins remembered when they had muffins.
“You make muffins? I love muffins!” Ken said cheerfully. “Sis likes muffins too!” He added on.
“Really! I love muffins too! Tell you what, I'll make you batch for tomorrow's school, okay?”
“K!” The two twins replied, eager to have muffins in the near-future.
“Ah, here we go!” Raze clicked the top of the white thing's button and threw it into onto a nice sized patch of land. A loud booming sound could be heard and then a large sphere shaped building popped up.
“It's pretty big isn't it?” Raze said, looking over to our twin heroes.
The large sphere... ball... building... thingy, was huge. Well, not as huge as the house, but neither the less it was quite sizable in the backyard. It looked like their dad's house inside Ken's seal, at the thought, Ken realized he never spoken with his dad all day.
'It's okay Ken, I know you've been busy." His father reassured him. The small guilt fading quickly as he answered.
'Thanks dad.' Ken replied.
Derpy then smiled and said “I've got stuff to get! I'll be back later!” Derpy finished with a wave of her hoof, she set off on a adventurous quest for muffins and butter.
Ken went up to Raze's Gravity Chamber, the little child stared at the door, then turned around and looked at Raze “Can we go in?” He asked nicely to which Raze nodded.
Kira ran up to the door when Ken opened it. The small saiyan female looked inside with wonder and human curiosity
“It's really dark in here!” She exclaimed, she almost touched her light crystal to give light to the room, but Raze interrupted her.
“I think the light switch is right around- Ah-hah! Here it is.” Raze said, and then a flick sound was heard.
The room was large and the tiles were light purple, the ceiling was quite tall and rounded, testimony to it's outside appearance. In the middle of the room was a machine that connected to the floor and the top of the building, on it's white panels lay countless of buttons which the two twins didn't understand with still being in elementary school.
“What is that?” Kira questioned, she made her way to the center of the room and pointed at the machine curiously, her small saiyan tail shaping into a semi-question mark as she prodded at the strange large mechanic structure.
“That is the gravity control mechanism-” Raze begin to say, but the twins instantly lost him at the last word. Thankfully the full-blooded saiyan noticed their lack of vocabulary meanings.
“It means machine, anyhow it's the object you will be using to train with for your time in here. We'll be in here for at least an hour, I think, so we know how much gravity you can train at in the beginning.” Raze said, Raze then made his way to the center console. The twin's human minds stored the information rather quickly and the two children understood what Raze was saying.
“I'm not going to start the process until you two think you're ready.” The saiyan told them as he began to press buttons that Ken and Kira still had no understanding of, and possibly never will if they stick to pony education. Ken and Kira didn't hear the saiyan through, so they just played a game.
And that game that Ken and Kira had began to play, was a game of good ole' Rock Paper Scissors. But for some strange reason, Ken kept losing to his sister, and they had already reached the tenth round in the battle of a century. Ken had just gotten rock, while Kira... Paper.
“Best 11 out of... Uh... 13!” Ken exclaimed, still determined to beat his sister.
Kira smiled, her tail wiggling mischievously as she continued to beat her identical twin, “Okay!”
But they never had a chance to continue their 'brutal war game', “I'm done setting it up!” Raze spoke up, the two twin hybrids heard his words loud and clear.
They both forgot about their game immediately. They gathered themselves up and stood before Raze whom had his index finger on a single button, whatever the button would do the twin didn't know. Maybe it made muffins sprout out onto the metal? Hopefully it was that, because they're hungry!
“Both of you should stretch beforehand, okay?” Raze asked them as they both nodded. Guess it wasn't the muffins, oh well, maybe next time.
Ken stretched his arms out and then began to stretch his legs. He then cracked his knuckles and then put his body level
Kira began to run around the machine, she jumped into the air doing several front flips as her feet touched the ground. She then stretched her arms and legs out and continued to run.
'Show off' Ken telepathically commented on Kira's stretching.
Kira only grinned back at him during her remaining stretch.
Within a few minutes they both stopped, their blood and muscles warmed up. They stood before Raze with excitement and childish joy at what the training could hold for them.
'I wonder what he's gonna teach us?' Kira commented to her brother.
Raze smiled down at them at our two heroes, he opened his mouth and said “This will not be actual learning for today. The only thing you will have to do is walk. There is a catch of course and you can probably guess it, you will walk at the maximum gravity that you can take, good luck and steel yourselves.” Raze finished as he looked at them seriously.
Ken looked determined and Kira looked a little apprehensive, her tail wiggled in wait. Through in mind, they were trying to figure out what the word 'steel' was. It sounded like a familiar word, or was it called term? Silly Grammar class, it makes lots of things confusing!
Raze then pressed the button on the console once. Instantly the twins felt a small force of pressure apply to themselves like they had just put on heavier weighted clothing. But it didn't take long for the two twins to apply their Ki easily to their muscles to make the weight seem so much less.
“This isn't so bad! See Kira! There was nothing to be worried about!” Ken said as he smiled triumphantly.
“You're right! I can run all day like this!” Kira said as she ran around the console while her tail flew behind her.
“That's perfect because this is only two times this planet's normal gravity.” Raze said to them which made them stop running around.
“Times? Like a cloak” Kira asked, why was he talking about clocks? That's silly!
“No, as in multiplication.”
Ken and Kira tilted their heads in confusion. What was multi-pli-cation? Is that some sort of super clock? They had super clocks now!? How strong were they? Were they as strong as Super Saiyan? Were they stronger? Were they bad, are they gonna attack their home?
“Uh... it's advanced math.” Raze explained, or seemed to try.
“Oh okay!” Ken said. So, no super clocks yet, that's good.
“Anyway, your training is just beginning and since I know that you will do just fine at this level, we'll increase it to five! Get ready.” Raze said as the twins both stood ready for what was to come. Both Ken and Kira expected heavier weights like last time.
Raze nodded at them and then pressed the button three more times, each time making some sort of 'Beep' sound. The two half saiyan twins immediately felt the new weight hit them all at once, causing them to nearly slam into the ground as they felt like their weighted clothing increased ten-fold, or at least it felt that way!
“Whoa!” Ken yelled, he struggled to stand up and he did, if only barely.
Kira struggled just as much with it as she tried to lift a leg to walk forward.
“It's hard to move!” Kira said, she continued her attempt at moving. Even her tail was in a limping position, facing the floor and was unable to twitch.
“You're being tested! Attack me and no Super Saiyan! I won't attack either of you offensively but in self-defense I will!” Raze said to them.
'What! I don't think we can fight him! He's too tough!' Ken complained mentally.
'That's no fair, he can dodge all of our attacks super easy!' Kira added on to her brother's complaint.
“If you manage to hit me in the face, we'll all go to the Park on Friday.” Raze suddenly said, he moved to different side of the room away from the control panel. Raze then stood there, in his martial arts stance.
That one sentence, that one singular sentence, INSTANTLY changed their thoughts. A trip to the park! They can see their friends and play lots of fun games! They can also help Scootaloo, Sweetie Bell, and Applebloom get their cutie marks!
“Just one attack? Alrighty!” Ken exclaimed, determined for them to get a trip to the park.
The little saiyan hybrid powered up, a white aura bursting into existence. Ken then yelled out “Kaio-ken Times 2!” as a fiery red aura replaced the white one, causing Ken's muscles to tense and buff. Ken charged at Raze with fist ready,he could feel the gravity's pressure pushing him down, forcing him to be slower. But the technique and child determination kept Ken from giving up so easily.
Ken shot his right arm, but the full-blooded saiyan dodged it effortlessly, he tried another toward the left of Raze's ribcage, but again was thwarted. Ken continued his assault as he thrusted his left fist upward, attempting to hit the adult's jaw. Again he missed but the hybrid child used the momentum to follow through with a right punch. But once again, his opponent out-bested him with speed and experience.
Suddenly, a invisible wave of Ki energy blasted outward.
“Wha!” Ken gasped out as the Ki reinforced air hit him, knocking him toward the tile flooring. In the meantime, another saiyan hybrid flew behind Raze, Kira choose this time to attack the full-blooded saiyan but as she sent her fist toward the back of Raze's head, he disappeared.
“Aww! You used afterimage! No fair!” Kira complained, she attempted whipped around too attack him with her tail's lash, but the strain of the gravity prevented her from doing it quickly.
“All's fair in this training session!” Raze countered, as he quickly made his way away from the human hybrid girl. Causing Kira to pout as Raze got away from her attack so quickly. She landed on the flooring and took this moment to gather her breath.
Ken went by his sister's side. 'Dang, you almost had him!' He thought to her.
'Yeah, but he's too fast, I think we gotta attack him differently.' She mentally said.
'Mmh, I think if we attack him together he won't be able to stop all our attacks!' Ken suggested.
Kira nodded, agreeing to the plan, “Let's do this nii-san!” Kira exclaimed.
Ken grinned and powered up his Kaio-ken form, while Kira's white aura appeared around her small form.
Raze seemed a bit confused, but it quickly turned to shock as the twins advanced at him with rapid but untrained attack patterns. But being twins had it's advantages, they instantly seemed to naturally follow up to the others attack, where one punched the other kicked, where one defended, the other advanced. Each action they made going in perfect coordination with the other twin.
Ken and Kira fought as hard as they could manage in the heavy gravity. The two twins were determined that Raze would hold to his promise of a day at the park if they manage to hit him. Earning that was still proving to be a challenge for them both as Raze had the advantage of already training in these conditions. But the twins had spars with each other and had worked together many times, thus making it easy for them to follow in each others attacks more then they could already naturally do.
But Raze still continued to block and dodge their seemingly endless attacks, and the two were now feeling the strain of the gravity wearing down upon them, most notably Ken, who was using the Kaio-Ken technique to increase his personal power.
The two twins jumped back from their 'rampage', to took this time to take a quick breather and plan their next moves.
'It's... not working.' Ken thought, still exhausted through he wouldn't admit it.
'Maybe if we try it differently?' Ken's sister advised as she took her own breaths.
'I guess we can try Ki attacks?' He replied.
Kira shook her head barely. 'No, I don't think they would work, he's too fast.'
'Maybe we can circle him!' Ken mentally exclaimed his idea.
'Okay, let's try that! Kira agreed. The looked at Raze with cheerful, yet determined faces,
Raze got into his fighting stance “Well? You two aren't tired now, are you?”
Ken and Kira smiled and then ran at him from different sides “That won't work!” Raze exclaimed as he pushed air at them with Ki.
But the two twins dodged to different sides and ran at him, they had done this tactic before against Discord, and it seemed to be working against Raze as well. Guess it was a twin sibling thing,
Raze moved out, he ran off and then turned around. But the two twins were running on top of the ceiling toward the full-blooded saiyan warrior. It didn't take long for him for realize where they were through.
Raze blasted more Ki reinforced air at them. The twins dodged it easily and flew down at him. The heavy gravity made them come down at him a lot faster than normal thus giving them a better advantage.
Raze made a move to go back, but found himself hitting a wall, the two twins charged at him using their momentum when they hit the marble tile flooring as a propeller to attack the saiyan. Together, they both shot forward their fist and finally managed to hit the saiyan. Making Raze hit the wall, thankfully the walls seemed really really strong, so the saiyan bounced off it without destroying it.
“Oof!” Raze grunted as he slid down the wall.
“YEAH! We did it! We did it! We did it!” Ken and Kira exclaimed, jumping up and down in joy as they grabbed each others hands. Kira's tail wagged around in her joyous emotion.
“Yes, you both did great! I guess that I owe you both a trip to the park...” Raze said to the twins.
“Yeah!” They both exclaimed.
Suddenly, Ken and Kira's senses picked up as the familiar energy of their adoptive mother came right through the door. The twin's mother, Lyra, soon fell stomach first onto the hard tiles due to the shear gravitational weight pulling down upon her.
“I just got back from the studio and I-aah!” Lyra yelled, but was interrupted as the gravity fell onto her.
“Mommy!” Ken and Kira yelled in concern, they rushed
The two twins heard footsteps coming closer to them, they turned their heads looking at the direction of the sound to see Raze kneeling down at their mother Lyra.
“You alright?” He asked her.
“What was that?!” The motherly Lyra yelled at the full-grown saiyan, now recovered from the weight that had kept her down.
The two twins and Raze covered their ears from the yelling, Raze seemed to have slightly more sensitive hearing then the two hybrids through, and as such had a little more pain causing him to fall backward on his rear.
“Oops, I didn't mean to yell, but what was that?” She asked in a lower tone, her anger now vanished.
“That was gravity that pulled you down and the floor caught you!” Raze said all too honestly.
Lyra gave him a confusing look. How could the gravity change in a single building? Where saiyans more advanced then the humans?
“So, is it some sort of saiyan technology?” She asked him, wanted to confirm her suspicion.
“Umm... No, it's human technology.” Raze said.
Lyra made it like she passed it off. “Well, Okay then. Dinner will be done soon, so go and get the Doctor and Derpy so we can all eat!” Lyra exclaimed. 'Wow, humans are so advanced in his dimension. I wonder what Ken and Kira's is like now, maybe they had big giant blocky ships with huge cannons and can open portals in space to travel at the speed of light. Nah, that's just ridiculous Lyra.'
Lyra motioned for her two adopted human hybrid children to follow her through the door. They did so without question and the group went back into the house.
There, they quickly ate a good sized dinner of a vegetarian diet, cause they didn't have anymore fish to serve much to the twin's and Raze's disappointment. Lyra told them then to go to bed, because it was dark and there was still school tomorrow. Ken tried to complain how they could stay up later, but one look in Lyra's eyes made him change his mind quickly. The both wished their mother a good night as Lyra kissed them on their foreheads.
The two identical twins made it up to their room, picked up the room to make it clean and then changed into their pajamas. Which were basically the same clothing to each other considering of very soft green fabric with a harp picture in front of the shirts.
They climbed into their respective double bunker, Kira slept on the top while Ken on bottom.
"Night sis!"
The candlelight flickered out, and they both fell into their dreams of joys and happiness.
However, a few hours later, Ken while in his sleep started turning and moving in his bunker, his breathing started to quicken and his face turned paler. He calmed down a few minutes later, but if one was to look you could tell it wasn't exactly in good health at the moment. During the few hours before however...
Chris is having a nice seal day, considering being mostly bored due to his saiyan blood that wanted some sort of sparring action. However with no real opponent, and his son still being too weak to give him a good warm up, it was getting repetitive on his daily planning of cutting imaginary wood, eating imaginary food, hunting imaginary animals, and re-watching memories over and over.
Course it wasn't all boring, he loved watching his son and daughter train with their newly acquired friend, Raze. The unexpected saiyan was something they needed in their pony-filled life, sparring with each other can only go so far, and their human side can only entertain them for so long. Don't forget to mention how their children still.
Through, when Raze came into the seal-scape with a strange inter-dimensional Discord that seemed to watch his whole life up to the point where he was sealed within Ken, it was kinda... Creepy... Awkward? He didn't have the word to describe it. But still, Chris could tell from Raze's eyes that the young saiyan teen, or young adult, has had a tragic history. Maybe worse then Ken, maybe not.
Chris pondered on the unknown variable that is Raze, while continuously chopping imaginary wood with a imaginary axe. Suddenly, two energy signatures appeared behind him.
“I think you got the spell wrong Discord.” The voice that was undoubtedly Raze spoke up.
“I think you're absolutely right Raze...” The no doubtingly Discord mumbled.
Chris put down the axe, or more like slammed it into the tree trunk, what where they doing inside the seal again! He told them to ask Ken before attempting such a barging in of privacy! Have they no respect for his wishes or his eight year old son's private mind-scape!
He turned around and walked over to the two, yet again, intruders.
"So, what are you two doing here again?” Chris asked them, his eyes clearly spotting their body language giving themselves the feeling of hesitation.
“Uh... Visiting! Right Raze?” Discord said, he seemed to glare at Raze with a "play along!" stare. Chris knew this glare too well to be fooled so easily. He knew they were already lying the moment their body language gave them away.
“Well, yeah! That's what we were doing, how are you?” Raze lied and asked.
Chris smiled kindly, he remembered when he was young and tried to change the subject so easily. It doesn't help that Raze acted like his brotherly figure Goku, who he knew very well.
“Just fine. But let's talk about you two instead. You weren't planning on visiting some other dream or mind of any sort... Were you?” The Z-fighter gave them calculating stare.
“That depends... Let's say, hypothetically if we were... What would your reaction be?” Discord asked as he floated above the ground.
“Probably angry... A little disappointed, and might have the incentive to help you learn a lesson of trust.” Chris said to them.
'This could be a good change to have a small spar, not too big as I don't know the limits of the seal, but at least a good enough one to stave off my boredom.' The father of the twins thought to himself.
“It's a good thing were not visiting any other places, this just so happens to be where we meant to go isn't that right Raze?” Discord asked Raze.
“Of course! See? We're so happy to see you and I know you had to be watching during the training session! What do you think of that?” Raze said quickly, clearly showing a little desperation for Chris to be convinced by such an apparent lie. But Chris can wait no longer, if he was right, the moment he threaten Raze the saiyan would get himself locked in his pride and fight him. Just like he wanted.
“You're just trying to change the subject. You were trying to get into Ken's mind!” Chris accused Raze, speaking the full truth right into his face.
“Maybe! But that is just fine because it didn't work!” Raze exclaimed back as Chris cracked his knuckles. A clear universal sigh of saiyans that basically says 'Fight me if you think you can.'
“Um... Guys? Saiyans?” Discord was trying to say as Raze also began to crack his knuckles.
“If you think I'm not going to fight when your blatantly cracking your knuckles at me then your mistaken!” Raze exclaimed as he stood his ground. Bingo, Raze has replied just like he predicated.
'Alright, now just gotta change the area to a more fitting fighting ground. Also gotta keep from using large scale attacks because I'm not sure of Ken's body can take such force being released within him.' Chris mentally nodded to himself and spoke up.
“This area is a little unfitting to have a fight on, so let's take it to an open area.” Chris said, the landscape changed into a desert area with high plateaus all around, but Chris knew this area well. It was the same area where his 'brother' Goku fought Vegeta for the first time.
“Is this good Raze? Or would you prefer somewhere else?” Chris asked with a smile, a smile that was easily known to saiyans as a challenge.
“No, I think this is just fine! I'll show you not to take me lightly!” Raze exclaimed as he stretched a bit.
“You two are seriously going to fight now? As much as I really want to see this, I don't think it's appropr-” Discord was cut off by Raze.
“I've been to out of it lately, I need a serious fight and here it is on a silver platter! I will not waste my chance! Especially with a famous Z-fighter!” Raze exclaimed as he stood up.
“You make the first move Raze!” Chris said confidently, sliding into his old fighting style of the Angelic Martial Arts school.
“Here I come!” Raze yelled as he charged forward.
Chris smiled, he muscles tensed and his feet placed in a firm balanced position. His eyes looked over at the charging Raze with the experience of a warrior, analyzing every moment, every weak point, every opening.
Just like the Z-fighter he is, just like a saiyan, just like a warrior.
And in the background, a certain Discord yelled. “I'm going to love this!”

Chapter 7: Spars, Fevers, and more School!
Raze charged forward at a high speed and met Chris with a lightning fast punches. Chris responded by blocking each one of Raze's blows, then he moved into the air leaving Raze on the ground.
“You're jumping in far to quickly!” Chris exclaimed, the Z-fighter fired Ki blasts down onto Raze. Raze fired his own waves that collided with Chris's attacks causing several explosions in the sky and destroying nearby clouds.
Chris took this to quickly phase out, then suddenly reappearing behind, attempting to kick the younger saiyan, he was caught of guard as his opponent grabbed his ankle.
“What!” Chris yelled in surprise, Raze began to spin him but Chris knew this technique easily and waited for the moment. Shrugging off the dizziness that came with the skill. As the saiyan threw him Chris caught himself easily doing some back flips before stopping, and resetting himself into his martial arts form.
“I'm pretty good and you better watch out!” Raze exclaimed proudly, before flicking his fingers downward.
Chris' brain reviewed dozens of technique before matching one to his best friend Yamcha. Standing his ground Chris waited for just the right moment before the Spirit Balls could hit. He then jumped into the air only to be followed by the attacks once more, he continued to see Raze's fingers move in coordination.
“I know that technique! That's Yamcha's Spirit Ball!” Chris exclaimed, he turned around and fired a Ki wave at the attack instantly destroying the attack and making an explosion, smoke covering his vision, but not his senses.
Chris sensed Raze's approach, he grinned as he silently raised his power level a bit more to match the young saiyan warrior.
“Your fast I give you that!” He said, seeing Raze appear before him. Chris disappeared in a flash of great speed, appearing right in front of him with the intention of being on the defensive to see Raze's fighting ability firsthand.
“But your not the only one.” He purposely mocked.
Raze began his offensive assault, well trained hits aimed at him. But Chris was also trained, trained in multiple styles and was quickly and efficiently blocking each strike towards his being. Raze then pulled his fist back.
'What he doing? Wait... ' Chris' senses suddenly picked up the secondary Spirit Ball he had previously believed to had destroyed.
Acting quickly, the Z-fighter thrust his hands out, and let out a small yell which released a formidable force of invisible Ki energy that pushed Raze back. Seeing the young full-blooded saiyan at a safe distance, Chris conjured his Ki from his reserves, with extreme discipline, he formed the Ki around him into a defensive barrier.
The Spirit Ball hit against his Energy Barrier, but the barrier proved much stronger resulting in the technique exploding prematurely, creating smoke in the immediate area.
Soon, it cleared, Chris held up his newly created Energy Barrier in case of a second attack, but instead he found Raze gawking like a child. The red Energy Barrier surrounding Chris soon dissipated into nothingness as he released the channeling of Ki.
Our sealed father-hero floated down and touched the top of a plateau, looking upward at the young saiyan warrior as he mockingly dusted himself off in a crude attempt to agitate Raze.
“I must admit" He said. "I never expected that second Spirit Ball. You caught me a little off guard, but I'll be just fine. Let's keep going and see how smart you really are.” Chris finished, stretching a bit, his neck popping as he moved it side to side.
'Why do I get the feeling Raze is going to say something I'll rather not have Ken repeat?' Chris thought.
“Go Chris! Go Chris! What a clever move you made!” Discord suddenly exclaimed.
“Why are you cheering for him?! Aren't I the underdog here?!” Raze yelled at Discord.
'He's distracted, my chance.' Chris silently flew with great speed toward his distracted opponent. Ignoring the reply the draqonuis gave Raze, but he did hear the next bit as he closed in.
“Well, that really is bull-”
'Oh no you don't!' *Wham!* A knee hit right into Raze's stomach area, causing him to loose his breath from Chris' attack.
“No cussing! My son may be able to hear you after all!” Chris demanded. Raze looked up at him with a smudge face.
“That's bullsh-” Raze was about to say that, but instead got an uppercut to the chin, throwing him into the air with a nasty mark.
Chris looked up and put both his hands into the air. “Take This!” Chris then fired rapid waves of Ki blasts at Raze.
Wanting to see how Raze would react to a multitude of energy attacks, Chris had decided to do rapid volleys of Ki blast toward the young saiyan prince. But as he looked onward at Raze, he noticed how his opponent cupped his hands together, charging a enormous amount of Ki energy. Two red balls of Ki energy burst into existence within each individual hand, growing in size as time passed on.
Suddenly, the sky glimmered and flickered. Chris turned his attention away from the energy gathering Raze to a more important aspect, the environment. Chris' trained keen eyes easily picked up the distortion within the seal as he saw the Kai Seal Marking painted across the sky before reverting to the imagined blue clouds.
'Wait... Raze is gathering a huge amount of Ki energy, without him being directly tied to the seal itself, the Ki energy that Raze generates has no where to go except either sucked into the Seal or released back into the physical world. I'm not sure if Raze realizes that his Ki energy also depletes in mindscape Ken's Kai Seal might not be able to handle the stress of three... four, distinct sources of different energies all tied to a singular host. 'In hindsight, this could be disastrous for Ken's well being, and if it's released outside, everyone around him. I might still have time to stop this through.'
In a brief moment of pleading the Z-fighter yelled at the saiyan warrior Raze, “Wait! Stop!”
But Raze continued to gather energy, and soon enough, released it.
“Flash Cannon!” Raze yelled as he threw the red ball of energy at the incoming waves of Ki. Raze's attack pulled the Ki waves into it and an explosion of red mass erupted in the sky.
Chris reacted quickly, remembering a technique he copied from Android 19 and Gero, Chris rushed into the epicenter of Raze's attack. The Flash Cannon technique came upon him, Chris closed his eyes and yelled, opening his Ki to absorb the incoming attack. Since his body was never meant to absorb however, the consequences will require him to stop using his own Ki until Raze's Ki is converted properly into his own. The Flash Cannon came into contact with his hands and surrounded him whole, pain seared parts of his body as Chris roared for his own technique to overcome Raze's.
He didn't have enough power, he needed to release more, Chris had too, for his kid's safety!
Chris roared louder, within the red orb of Raze's flash cannon, a bright continuous glow came from the Z-fighter as he irrupted in the form, of a Full-Powered Super Saiyan, if only for a brief instant. With the transformation's strength, he absorbed the Flash Cannon easily, then detransformed.
The landscape changed back to a large forest with Goku's house in the middle of said forest. Chris floated down to the ground, hiding his mild exhaustion, looked over to Raze as he finally touched down.
“Does that mean I win?” Raze asked with a smirk at how he won.
But Chris glared at the idiotic saiyan, did this kid have no common sense at all! Ugh, and he wasn't even a kid, it was more like a young adult! A now confused Raze had his head tilted ever so slightly side ways in testament to his confusion.
'Kami, he is CLUELESS at the repercussions of daring to do such a attack inside a unknown variable such as Ken!' Chris thoughtfully fumed.
“Why are you staring like that!” Raze yelled at the Z-fighter in an annoyed tone.
“Why did you do such a large attack?” Chris questioned, perhaps Raze had a reason... Perhaps...
But Raze was seemingly taken aback with his question. “What do you mean, we were fighting! Why wouldn't I do that?!” He said.
'Idiot, did no one teach him how to think in fights? He fights more like he'll show no mercy, and straight forward trying to do it as fast as possible. He's hiding something.'
“Do you know where we are?” Chris said.
“Yeah, in the seal, why?” Raze replied.
“And if you would tell me, who exactly this seal is implanted upon?” Chris said, trying to make Raze figure it out himself.
A pregnant pause, before Raze replied annoyingly. “It's on Ken of course, so what?” followed by another pause, then a change of face of what appeared to be realization of his own stupidity.
'Perhaps through, I was a little quick to judge. But he is hiding something of his past, I'll delve into it at a later date.'
“I suppose you have made up for that by giving me a little sparring match, I haven't had a warm up like that in quite a while!” Chris said, changing the subject and trying to comfort Raze somewhat.
“Warm up? That can't be right! Right?” he asked Chris, shock on his face.
“Well, of course it was! Do you know what it's like being stuck in this seal? Let me tell you just how bored I can get. Ever played Tic Tac Toe with yourself?” Chris should know, it was one of his past times during Ken's homework or when the little hybrid is eating.
“No, I haven't because there's only one of me!” Raze said as he watched Chris begin to stack up logs of wood in a pattern.
“There's the example.” Chris said, pointing to a wooden wall. On that way lay row upon row of scratched in Tick Tac Toe. “At least there are some things to ease my boredom, like watching the world through my son's eyes.”
“No offense to the both of you at this point, but this conversation is extremely boring to me and to anyone else who might be reading this, so please pick up the pace!” Discord said as he threw away his popcorn.
“Wait a minute, Discord do you hear that?” Raze asked Discord.
“I'm not sure what you're talking about.” Discord said as he put his lion paw to his ear “Nope, nothing at all.... I wonder....” Discord trailed off as he suddenly disappeared.
“Discord? Where are you?!” Before Raze himself disappeared.
"Both of them must have been woken up by someone. Probably Kira... Now... Time to survey the damage, Ken has a fever and I can tell from how it's getting a bit hotter in here. Mmh, appears his human half is responsible for his body's immune response, even if it's not actually any sort of disease but from the excessive energy emitted within here. I've gotta deal with the energy first before attempting to heal Ken of his fever."
The eight year old, Ken Altarmore-Heartstrings, lied upon his bed pale as snow. His breathing went erratic over the course of the night, his head burned with fever as he tried to tuck himself further within the warmth of the sheets. Ken's body, hard at work to cure itself of it's strange ailment, became quiet cold from the fever that had surfaced overnight.
Another child, the twin sister Kira, woke from her pleasant dreams. The little hybrid girl yawned as she sat upward from the top bunker. After rubbing her eyes to ease herself of tiredness, Kira stepped down the ladder of the two twins' twin bunker; made her way to the bathroom, did what was needed, before noticing her brother still lay upon the bed.
"Nii-san... We got school today, gotta get ready." Kira said, yawning again toward the end of her sentence.
Ken stayed near-motionless on the bed, it was then his sister finally noticed how cold her brother was at the touch. A little worry creeping up to her emotions as she slowly spread her Ki aura to sense her twin's own, which was suppose to be bigger than her own.
Only, it wasn't. At least not anymore.
Not knowing what was wrong, Kira's exhaustion from awaking vanished into thin air. The female child left the room, still in her yellow flower pajamas, making her way toward Lyra's bedroom. Kira opened the door and slid inside, her tail wiggling in a slow rhythmic motion as she walked toward the slowly waking mint pony Lyra.
"Mommy, nii-sand won't wake up. He feels really cold when I tried to shake him!" Kira said.
Lyra got off the best and followed her worried daughter back to the twin's room. Ken lied asleep as Lyra stood over him, the mint body looked over her song with concern.
Ken's appearance, in lack of better word, is pale white, more 'white' than he usually looked. He took quick, yet jagged breaths now and then before returning to a slow peaceful breathing pace. It was hard to see her adopted son like this, Ken's peculiar healing rates seemed to make him appear immune to all impervious illnesses, speaking of which... Lyra pulled up Ken's shirt to see the seal containing their biological father in clear view, undamaged in any way.
Rolling Ken's shirt back down, Lyra placed her hoof carefully upon her son's forehead, only to retract it once she learned the saiyan human hybrid was burning with fever. With this, Lyra came to the conclusion that Ken had thankfully only caught a high fever, but relatively was unharmed.
Lyra's worries left her for now, after all a eight year old girl behind her still had school to go too.
"Don't worry Kira,your brother is just sick. He'll be better later on okay?" Lyra said to her adopted daughter.
"O-okay." Kira softly replied.
"Now, get dressed for the day Kira."
"K!"
The little hybrid girl practically jumped down the staircase steps, she wore a bright yellow shirt with pink flower pictures covering over it with blue neatly stitched jeans. Kira's hair had two clips holding the right side while it's left was spiky and wild. The small human child reached the bottom of the stairs where she put on her unique pure white 'stretchy' boots.
When she stood up to walk, she fell forward.
"Oh, hehe oops!" Kira then pulled her furry fuzzy tail through the pant's tail hole, she wiggled it around to see if the appendage was comfortable.
Once satisfied, the eight year old turned toward the living room. "I hope Raze-sensai's fine!"
Kira adorably skipped toward the living room, her tail moving in rhythm with it's owners' motions. When Kira arrived she saw Bon-Bon making some frost-tarts, the aroma longingly reached the senses of the small child making her stomach growl in hunger. Kira glanced between Raze's sleeping form and the kitchen, an internal battle raging between her human and side sides. Saiyan hunger triumphing over her thoughts.
Hey, a girl has to eat too! Especially a growing girl like Kira!
With her saiyan side making an excuse that its a kindness to let Raze sleep more, Kira abandoned him for the thought of filling her body with sweet tasting carbohydrates with sugar topping, and side of liquidized calcium, also known as frost-tarts and milk.
"Morning Bon-Bon!" Kira cheerfully said as she stepped into the kitchen area.
Bon-Bon smiled at the small child. "Hello Kira, you want something to eat?"
"Yes please, thank you!" Kira replied.
Kira got onto a seat facing the counter-top and awaited patiently. Bon-Bon placed a plate of frost-tarts and a glass of milk upon the counter, which Kira started to gradually eat with glee. Once she was finished, Kira saw Bon-Bon leave the front door for work.
Kira hopped down from her stool with her plate; brought it to the sink and placed it within. The hybrid child then turned toward the living room and walked toward Raze, her tail swinging side to side.
She glanced at her mommy's direction, Lyra was looking through some sort of paper. Turning her attention back to Raze-sensai, she then raised her voice to awaken him.
"Raze-sensai wake up!" She yelled, but the full-blooded saiyan continued to sleep.
With a small pout, she tried again repeatedly. “Raze, Raze, Raze, Raze, wake up already!”
“AHHHHHHH!” Raze suddenly yelled as he jumped up really fast! He like, jumped up really upward too! Kira wondered with curiosity how he didn't hit his head on the ceiling as her tail wiggled back and forth.
Remembering Ken's sickness, Kira smiled to know Raze was okay.
“Raze, your awake! And your not sick!” Kira cheerfully said, embracing him in cutest hug of hugs. Her small stature didn't matter to her, even if she only reached his waist.
Kira heard her mommy giggle in the background, then Raze-sensai pushed her gentle off, causing the small hybrid child to release her hugful embrace.
Raze-sensai then proceeded to stare at a wall for a full half minute, his lips moving slightly but with no sound coming outward.
“What are you looking at Sensei?” Kira questioned Raze-sensai.
Raze shook his head briefly “Nothing! Uh... Just regaining my balance!” Raze said.
“Okay then!” Kira cutely said, her saiyan tail still continuously wagging side to side.
Mother Lyra looked at Kira asked of her, “Go check up on your brother real quick, please?”
“Okay Mom!” Kira replied, she turned around and headed out of the living room, before then going up the stairs to their room.
She glanced at her twin brother's still sleeping prone from. There appeared to be no change whatsoever, which unnerved the little girl. She slowly got onto the same bed her brother slept upon. Took in his sickly appearance, as in literally ill. Kira frowned and tried to tuck her brother more with the sheets, anything to help her nii-san.
It didn't help Kira that time seemed to have flown by so quickly as she tried to do something to help her brother more. But only so much she could do to aid him.
“Kira! Sweetie it's time for school!”
Kira answer her mother's call immediately, taking one last glance at her twin, she made her way toward the staircase and popped her out looking down onto their mommy. Kira then said in reply...
“But mommy, nii-san is sick! I gotta take care of him!” The saiyan girl said, hoping to help her twin brother get better in no time!
“Yes, I know your brother is sick. But Raze will take care of him, you have school!” The little hybrid's mother replied.
“But-”
“Kira.” Lyra deadpanned.
Kira's tail went limp in defeat. “Yes mommy...” She replied making her way down the stairway in reluctance.
Our little eight year old half saiyan girl, also known as Kira Altarmore-Heartstrings, slowly walked down the dirt paved road toward the red schoolhouse. With her backpack in tow, Kira reluctantly stepped closer and closer to her first day at school... Of being alone without her twin brother.
Okay, so this isn't the first time she has walked to school alone, because on the first day Ken forgot his lunchpack at home and had to fetch it. But this was the first day the little girl ventured into doing the whole school day, without Ken. Kira could feel herself tense up, she didn't feel right, it didn't feel right to be alone! Ever since she was 'born' they were together, Kira couldn't imagine being separated from her brother for so long.
Yeah, you can tell. Kira's having a hard time.
Kira entered the schoolhouse, and placed her backpack on the hook and tossed her lunchbox into the basket with everypony else. The small saiyan child then grabbed her school books and sat onto her desk, where she just silently waited for the day to start, her tail limb and coiled around the chair leg.
Ms. Cheerilee, also known to the twins as Cheer-sensai, proceeded with the daily routine of roll call.
"Featherweight?" The teacher called out.
"Here!" The said
"Ken Heartstrings?"
No response.
"Kira Heartstrings?" The teacher called the sibling.
"Here Cheer-sensai." Kira responded unemotionally.
"Where's your brother, Kira?" Ms. Cheerilee asked the human hybrid.
"He's sick Cheer-sensai." She replied, in which the Ponyville teacher nodded and marked something on her paper.
"We wish him well then." Cheerilee said, before moving on to begin the day's teachings.
For our little heroine, time seemed to be much slower as the clock ticked at a snail's pace. Everything around her seemed to be a mystery, excluded the Cutie Mark Crusaders, who continued to pay attention to the pony teacher. Kira is smart, so she caught onto things like what Cheer-sensai taught quite easily. Unlike her brother who only wanted to have fun, Kira mentally giggled mentally when she remembered how he got himself and half the class in trouble when he started a food fight.
Time past, and class seemed to take forever as Kira soon realize exactly how much she depended on Ken to actually be there for her. Luckily, the good friends the CMC was there to help Kira in her time of loneliness, providing moral support and sitting next to her during reading time, Kira found herself knowing she was fine as long as she had her friends.
Still didn't ease the boredom she had during class time.
A hour later...
Thankfully at long last, the lunch bell gave a nice extensive rang. Signifying the start of the lunch period and recess hour. Kira, and her pony friends the CMC, made their way toward the lunch table outside.
Kira smiled with extreme happiness as she started to unpack her lunch. Suddenly however, she felt some sort of pull that seemed to take her happiness away slightly, then Kira's saiyan hearing heard a gasp from the corner of the school house.
"Be right back girls." Kira said to her friends, who nodded as they ate.
Human curiosity took over Kira's body as she made her way toward where she heard the gasp. After appearing from the edge of the school house, Kira spotted a mare with black fur coat and a strange cutie mark that she couldn't make out. However the mare's eyes were bright green, and with Kira's enhanced senses, her eyesight narrowed to make out the mare's pupils being slightly slitted.
"Who are you miss?" Kira asked nicely. 'That's weird, why do I feel less... Um... Emotional? Yeah, why do I feel less emotional around her?
"Nobody... I'm just passing through, but I'm curious, what are you?" The black mare said, her eyes shifting to a regular brown colored pupil.
Ignoring the shift in eye color, her brother could do it in his super saiyan form, Kira replied kindly.
"I'm Kira, Kira Altarmore-Heartstrings." She replied, her emotions were back in check.
"I said what, not who, Kira."
"Oh, sorry." Kira apologized, then continued, "I'm a Human, and I am eight years old!"
"Eight years old? Your a big girl aren't you?" She complimented the young human child.
However, the mare pulled herself into her thoughts just briefly. 'By the hive, this human larva emits such emotional energy in abundance. Far more than any pony, even ponies in love, could ever emit. It's like she's a buffet of five ponies in one. The Queen must be notified of this creature's highly evolved mental statue. And it's only still a child!'
"Thanks! I like to think so, but I'm the little sister so I'm always considered the smallest." Kira naively said to the strange mare.
'Sibling, more than one, keep that noted.' The 'mare' thought.
A stomach growled like that of a dragon. Kira grasped her belly in slight pain.
"I'm hungry... I need to go eat my lunch miss! I hope you enjoy Ponyville!" Kira said, skipping back to the lunch table, leaving the strange yet kind mare. She it made it back to the table where the Cutie Mark Crusaders awaited for her arrival. Grinning sheepishly for wondering off, Kira unpacked her oversized lunch box and began eating. Her tail wiggling around in her sheer delight of filling her stomach.
'Wonder what Ken is doing?' Kira wondered.
Ken rubbed his eyes, trying to ease the drowsiness from sleeping. He pulled his feet off the bed, still holding onto his stuffed dragon from when Raze had given it to him when he was still half-asleep. Ken pulled off his sheets, and felt the cool air of the room touch his skin causing him to shiver slightly. The hybrid child stood on the floor, and place his stuffed dragon onto the bed.
Ken's senses spread out across the whole household, where he only sensed Derpy and that blue box thing in the backyard. Tilting his head in confusion, Ken spread his senses out even further along all of Ponyville in search of Raze-sensei. He easily found his sister's Ki signature, and then after a couple of seconds, found Raze's.
Ken, ignoring any house rules involving his next action and ignoring the fact that he was still ill, opened the window and jumped down into that small alleyway between two houses. The hybrid boy then looked toward the direction of his sensei's Ki signature and then made his way. Up in the house, he heard Derpy scream his name.
"Uh oh, better find Raze-sensei before Derpy Doo does... Wait... Doo? Where have I heard that from?" Ken pondered over the familiar last name. Shrugging it off, he went through the alleyway and headed toward the Marketplace square.
Following the stone pave way, he easily found his way to the marketplace. Spotting Raze-sensei by the stall where Aunt Bon-Bon resided in, he followed the full-blooded saiyan prince to the darker side of the Market square. Since his Ki was lower than usual due to sickness, Raze did not detect Ken's stealthy approach.
Ken hid behind the corner of a building as Raze talked to this strange pony selling something that looked like tan sticks, he wondered if it was edible? Raze brought them and then the strange pony went on about cookies. Ken's stomach rumbled and the child giggled silently before heading off toward the dark stall where Raze-sensei stood across.
“My grandmother's recipe! She truly was an amazing cook!” the pony said, Ken reached outward to the top of the stall and grabbed rather large chocolate chip cookie. He brought it to his chest and grasped it with both hands, by then Raze knew he was here.
“Ken? What are you doing out of bed?!” Raze asked in minor shock.
Ken gave Raze a sheepish grin “Grabbing a cookie!” Before he smiled brightly and launched the biological weapon of the Puppy Dog Eyes at Raze.
But the full-blooded saiyan resistant it just enough to reply. “I told Derpy that you would be in bed and now you're not...”
In confusion, Ken asked. “But I'm here! What's wrong with that?” But Raze shook his head for some reason.
Ken took a bite out of his cookie and found it delicious, the chocolate flavoring melting in his mouth and the baked dough adding to the mix. He chewed and swallowed the bite before he noticed Raze was looking at him in panic and horror, causing Ken to tilt his head cutely in confusion.
“Your Mom is going to murder me! We're going to Bon-Bon right away!” Raze yelled, suddenly grabbing Ken, and putting the small hybrid child under his arm. Raze started making his way quickly, to where, Ken didn't know. But Ken was more focused on the fact that he wanted to finish the fantastic cookie he fetched from the stand.
“Waiaiaiat! I wanna finish my cookie!” Ken pleaded, but it was unheard.
Kira held her head with both her hands in a effort to be the answer to a most difficult math question that had ever room the entirety of both the world of Equis and Earth.
27 + 9 = ?
She hated Nines and Sevens! Why were they so hard!? She wasn't allowed to use her fingers because it's considered unfair since nopony else has fingers to aid them. Plus, Ken said that daddy informed them it would be better to rely on their brains then fingers to solve these problems both quicker and efficiently. There it was again, she wasn't used to being referred as singular because most of the time they were together, so ponies would refer to them not her or him.
In hindsight, the little girl's lonely.
Sighing, Kira divided the nine into three separate threes. Adding each three to twenty-seven, she came up with thirty-six and wrote the answer on the math sheet. She got up and placed the sheet into the turn-in bin.
Miss Cheerilee looked up to Kira. "First one done again Kira? Go on sit down and wait for the others." Kira nodded and sat down at her desk.
'Amazing, Ken and Kira learn faster then any other colt or filly I have ever taught before. If they continue to get a good education it's possible they could one day be one of the smartest beings around.' Cheerilee thought as she waited for her other students to complete their math sheets.
About fifthteen minutes later, the last pony turned in the math sheet. Smiling happily, Cheerilee grabbed the sheets and placed them in her desk for later grading. She then stood up, and moved to her trusty art board which Cheerilee uses for illustrating certain subjects.
"Now class, for the last hour, I shall be teaching you about..." That was all that was needed to know
And over the day, school ended and Lyra picked up the little saiyan girl from school. They went home and Kira instinctively sought out her twin brother, and after a moment of worry from the emotional sibling of Ken's, they were found playing with toys soon after.
Playing with the toys to entertain themselves, and it also was quite fun to see how they worked, Kira looked up to see Raze just sitting their bored on the couch. So with a idea, Kira stood up and walked up to the saiyan warrior.
“Raze, play with us!” She said happily.
Raze ingeniously said. “Huh?”
Journey of Saiyans (Twin Version)
Chapter 8: A Locked Darkness
Crossover Saga
Chapter 8: A Locked Darkness
Ever get a feeling of being hopelessly divided between saying yes or no to a small child, who ask to play with you? This happened to be what Raze probably had to go through as the full-blooded saiyan warrior found himself between, ignoring everything around him, and playing ridiculous non-saiyan-like games with a pair of half-breed twins.
Kira pouted, and decided to pull out the big guns. Her small saiyan tail began wiggling behind her adorably, and her eyes goggled upward in the fashion of PDE, Puppy Dog Eyes. Then to finish it off, she said her next work with her most childish voice to date.
"Pwease." Kira finished in a cute matter.
Ken, sitting down next to the toys, looked toward Raze to find their sensei's eyes twitching. Ken let out a small giggle as no doubt Raze was going through a massive internal battle of trying to say no. So, Ken, being the mischievous yet very kind brother that he is. Decided to aid his twin sibling by helping her persuade Raze to play with them.
So here the two twins were, staring at Raze with a double Puppy Dog Eyes.
"I'll play with you! Just please, stop with that... That thing that you’re both doing!" Raze pleaded.
"Alright!" The two twins yelled in victory, giving each other a high-five.
Ken and Kira then proceeded to drag Raze upstairs to their room, where Ken dived into the toy chest and brought out a bucket full of what looked like, Legos. Placing the bucket on the carpet, the three saiyans, two of which are hybrids, sat down and began to build things.
Ken and Kira's human halfs seemed to be easily intrigued by the possibilities of what they could build with the Legos. Problem was, they wanted to build something grand and big! Only, they didn't know where to start.
"Let's build a town!" Kira said.
"No, a castle is cooler!" Ken suggested as his twin sister nodded in agreement that a castle would be 'cooler'.
They dumped the Legos onto the trimmed carpet flooring, then scratched their heads at where to start.
Raze rolled his eyes just a bit, before grabbing a green Lego platform and placing it in front of the two eight year olds. The twins watched as Raze built the general outline of a castle with Legos. Ken and Kira then caught up quickly as they proceeded to start building onto the outline.
What seemed to be minutes...
Turned into hours...
And the sun fallen, and a crescent moon appeared high in the sky.
By the time the twins and Raze were done, a grand two foot tall medieval castle stood in the center of the room. Raze glanced toward his legs to find Ken sleeping on one, and Kira sleeping on the other. Using his legs as pillows when they had drifted to sleep half an hour ago.
Raze placed them into the twin bunker beds, if he said anything, they couldn't hear as they were fast asleep and the lights shut off.
Chris 'Karmal' Dell, Z-fighter, and surrogate brother of Goku, uncle to Gohan, and father of the twins. Continued to do what he did best, be bored. Well, constantly being stuck in a make-believe area gets boring after a while. But anyhow, Chris opened his capsule house's door, and walked into what he referred as the 'Hobby Room'. This room happens to be where our Z-fighter monitors the outside world.
Unfortunately, for said Z-fighter, his senses went haywire.
Chris jumped to his feet, "Something is wrong!" He yelled to no one. Quickly, Chris flew straight out of the house, ignoring it being partially destroyed, toward two particular doors. One door was pure white, this led to Ken's mindscape and dreamscape, another was pitch black, this is where both Chris and Ken locked the horrors of the experience on Ken's Earth.
The father of the twins entered the black doorway, and stepped on the white marble inside. He sensed the disturbance in here, more than usual. "Strange, something is up in here...
He journeyed down the hallway, and began sensing someone, someone he had told twice before to not enter Ken’s mindscape. Disapproval crossed Chris’ face as he approached the first mind lock gate of Ken’s horrid memories. There in front of the lock, stood three beings. One being Raze, another being Discord, and a third that looked different.
The third looks to be some sort of muscular replication of Raze, with the exception that his skin, hair, and eye color were completely off; the sort clone was nearly twice the size of Raze, easily taller than himself, as well as the replication have strange jewelry that Chris swore he had seen before…
A founder of the original Z-fighters shook his head, now was not the time for a flash back to whatever it reminded him of.
”Raze! Discord! Why are you here!” Chris yelled in anger, revealing himself to the three. ”How could you! I told you repeatedly not to go into Ken’s mind, and you do it anyway! You think I had no good reason to say it?” He finished, his Ki levels rising quickly.
Discord shook his claw and paw in front of himself, “No Chris, you don’t understand, you see-”
“Shove it Discord! It’s you who has the power to enter minds in the first place!” The Z-fighter snapped at Discord.
“Chris, Fhaze was going to open these gates within Ken! He kept blabbing about a great power within that he was going to steal for himself!” Raze explained.
Chris narrowed his eyes at the unknown figure that Raze had dubbed, ‘Fhaze’, everyone around him was tense and ready for a fight. Clearly this ‘Fhaze’ wasn’t of the good sort, his appearance sure gives it away. ”I don’t know what you’re playing at, but all you’ll find within those mind locks are horrors, memories, and nightmares of Ken’s dark past. If you open them you’ll be causing my son great mental trauma!”
‘Fhaze’ laughed darkly, “Like I give a f*@# about a little snot-nosed brat.”
Raze shouted at his alter ego, “Ken is a hundred times better than you could ever be!”
“You should’ve been training, not babysitting a bunch of weakling brats!” Fhaze retorted.
Chris replied to Fhaze, ”Ken and Kira are not weak, the rate they progress is faster than both Goku and I’s combined. In a year they’ve went from average human, to a power level greater than Frieza’s first form! Faster than even Gohan could! Without the benefit of advanced training equipment such as gravity training either.”
“I could easily do the same thing after I take control of Raze’s body. Those dumbass tykes are nothing special.”
“You’re wrong Fhaze, and you’ll never win! Take this!” Raze yelled.
Raze summoned a low powered red sphere of Ki energy into his hands, before he push them forward to form a technique that seem to draw in the air around it. Chris recognized it immediately having dealt with it the day before.
“Flash Cannon!” Raze said the name of the technique before the ball burst outward into a wave of energy that came rushing toward Fhaze’s direction.
Fhaze dodged the wave easily, letting it pass and hit the first mind lock gate that shook and blew open, before the wave continued and dissipated down the hallway deeper within. The first thing Chris and the others felt was a emotion of loneliness and sorrow.
“Haha! You fool Raze! Thanks for the gate break, Idiot!” Fhaze mocked as he flew down into the hallway.
”Don’t just stand there! We have to stop him!” Chris yelled, as he himself flew down the hallway toward Fhaze.
“I know that!” Raze replied, clenching his fist in anger at what Fhaze planned to do.
Raze and Discord following just behind him before they meet up with the evil alter ego that is Fhaze. When they all reached the evil version of Raze, they found him already bashing on the next pair of gates with great strength. Chris vanished, appearing beside Fhaze and kicked him away from the mind lock gate. Fhaze replied by engaging Chris in one on one combat, attempting to rid of the Z-fighter so that he could continue his plans.
Fhaze shot his fist forward, aiming to crack the ribs; Chris replied quickly and guided Fhaze’s punch away before countering with an elbow to his left cheek. The evil spirit winced in pain, but shrugged it off and tried to make an explosive Ki blast around him. The Z-fighter’s eyes widened in surprise before he flew back just in time to avoid the blast.
Right after the blast ended, Raze came from behind Fhaze, striking the spirit’s right cheek with his left fist just at the moment he turned around. Annoyed and agitated, Fhaze kicked Raze’s side but the saiyan warrior grabbed his leg and spun Fhaze around then let loose, sending Fhaze plummeting toward Chris.
One Chris ‘Karmel’ Dell gifted a freebie uppercut kick upon Fhaze’s chin. This action caused the villain to be sent flying on to the ceiling, which in turn made him crash face first.
Discord laughed while wiping a tear from his eye, “This is so deliciously chaotic! I may need some popcorn.” He snapped his claws and popcorn appeared in midair.
Discord grabbed the popcorn and watched the fight with amusement.
Fhaze brought himself from the ceiling hole, suspending himself in mid air as he screamed in complete outrage.
“ARGH! D*#@^t! Why do I have to deal with such idiocy?! You’re both getting on my nerves!” Fhaze exclaimed at the two heroes.
Raze smirked, “Guess you just weren’t ready for us!”
Fhaze growled, turning his attention away from our heroes and toward the second mind lock gate. His face turned into one of a malicious smile, before his charged a huge amount of Ki with quick channeling and blasted at the gates with all his might and power. The mind lock gate shook, looking worn down as the blast hit it, but it remained unyielding to Fhaze’s attempt to open it.
“D&*m!” Raze landed behind Fhaze a few feet away.
Raze took on a serious expression, “Just give up already, you can’t break the locks by yourself!”
”Face it, the moment you arrived in my son’s mind, you were doomed from the start.” Chris said firmly.
“Then I’ll just add more power to the blast! Enough power to be rid of you both and that cursed door!” Fhaze exclaimed. The spirit’s Ki levels suddenly spiked, his figure becoming more buff than he was beforehand, black sparks surrounding a greenish aura that had burst into existence around him, and finally a shift of hair color to a more silver colored hue.
“It’s his Nocturne Super Saiyan form! But he’s not the only one with a transformation!” Raze proclaimed, his own self flashing with a gold light before revealing a now Super Saiyan form, hair spiked golden, muscles refined, and a flaming aura around him.
Chris transformed within a split instant, his power spiking higher than Raze’s own. Fhaze appeared only slightly doubtful facing two powerful super saiyans, but like every villain before him, his own pride and ego erased his doubt in order to retain his own ‘superiority’ complex.
Fhaze opened up his palm and a greenish hue charged into it. The hue began to shrink until a small green energy ball appeared in his hand.
’Wait a second, that attack! It’s-!’
“Hahahaha!” Fhaze laughed maniacally, firing the intense energy ball toward the epicenter of all three heroes and Spirit of Chaos. The energy ball imploded outward, sending all three crashing against wall, ground, and ceiling.
Chris couldn’t see, the smoke from the blast blocked his vision, but he could still sense Fhaze’s energy signature. He felt the insane villain move toward the mind lock gate, his eyes widening as suddenly a loud bang was heard before the sudden feeling of dread and fear from Ken’s inner mind washed over everyone.
All three of them quickly recovered, the smoke clearing only for them to see no Fhaze, yet an open mind lock gate.
Chris cursed, ”That’s it, no more mister nice guy,” the Z-fighter said.
Raze raised an eyebrow, “Mister Nice Guy? You call kicking him around being nice? I’d hate to see what you do to guests!”
Chris chose to ignore Raze’s comment, instead focused on transforming to Ascended Super Saiyan, not to be mistaken with his surrogate nephews Super Saiyan Two. Chris’ golden aura spiked outward, his muscles buffing and his form growing bigger as he increased his Ki energy output. He raised his head, gritting his teeth as he felt his power increase by another multiple of ten. When he finished, he let loose a calm breath of air, relaxing his muscles just a bit.
”Ascended form, if your wondering about it, Raze.” Chris explained, before he flew toward where Fhaze had left off too.
Chris arrived to find Fhaze bashing the third most inner mind lock gate, the empowered Z-fighter immediately engaged the evil spirit of Raze’s by blasting him away from the gate with a concentrated Ki blast. Fhaze recovered from the blast, his aura spiking outward as he screamed a battle cry at Chris and engaged him in battle.
Fhaze struck first, sending his right fist toward Chris’ abdomen only to be parried by the Z-fighter’s left arm, which Chris proceeded to strike Fhaze’s own abdomen as payment for attempting to strike his own by hitting it with his right knee. Fhaze shrugged it off only just barely, unused to being hit by just a muscular form as himself; Fhaze’s left leg found contact with Chris’ right wrist before following up with a twist of his body which allowed him to strike the Z-fighter’s head with his free leg.
Chris staggered a bit back, but rushed forward and delivered a critical blow to Fhaze’s stomach which winded him out. He then kicked Fhaze back, and quickly did motions of cupping his hands together up front and bringing to the sides.
”Kamehameha!” He yelled quickly, a blue light forming in his palms before he released it with utmost speed upon Fhaze’s winded form. The blue wave of energy crashing on the evil spirit and sending him down the hallway, which was further away from the third mind lock gate.
Raze flew forward only to see Fhaze’s body land before him and make a indent into the floor. Fhaze shakily rolled over and pushed himself back onto his feet.
Raze backed up as Fhaze focused a glare of pure venomous rage at himself, “I swear that I’ll kill you and this fool before the end of this day!”
When Raze didn’t respond, Fhaze powered himself up again, “RAAGGGH! I will take your mind! I will kill your friends, your family, and your loved ones!”
“If you think that I’m going to let that happen, then you must have never been a piece of me at all!” Raze replied with a glare of his own.
Gathering destructive Ki energy Fhaze launched multiple Ki blast toward Raze’s direction. Raze quickly moved out of the way as several large explosions went off in a chain. Smoke blasted through the hallway as Fhaze charged up several more energy attacks and sent them toward the lock.
Chris sensed the energy coming toward him and prepared to block the attacks, ‘He just won’t give up!’
Chris jumped into the air only for Fhaze to appear from the smoke, “Fool!” He put both of his hands to gather and clenched them together.
Fhaze brought them into the air and then brought them down smashing Chris in the side of his shoulder. Chris flew out of the air as the blasts both his their mark. The explosion rang back towards the fighters and dust spread outward in dark clouds.
Chris looked at the gate as the smoke cleared and the chains were still there, ‘It’s held up! Perfect!’
Chris powered up and went to attack Fhaze, “Hey!”
Fhaze looked down in surprise as Chris’ fist connected with Fhaze’s jaw. Fhaze’s body flew up into the air as Chris appeared above where his body was flying into the ceiling and promptly smashed him into the ground with a heavy kick. He then proceeded to send ki blasts down at Fhaze.
Fhaze quickly rolled to avoid the exploding Ki blasts. Fhaze rolled until he hit his left side and pushed up into the air quickly. The last one hit and the explosion threw more smoke into the air around them.
Chris’ hands and arms did a series of fast and complicated movements, before he stopped with a strange seal marking floating upon his right hand. He charged into the smoke toward Fhaze’s Ki signature, appearing out of it and charging at Fhaze.
“S*%!” Fhaze cursed as he narrowly dodged a seal being placed on him, he kicked Chris’ stomach which caused the Z-fighter to fly back from him.
Raze appeared on Fhaze’s other side, “Hey! You’re not done yet!”
Raze sent his own Ki blast at Fhaze who took the attack and sent it towards the floor below. The sounds of the resulting detonation echoed through the hallway before a countering barrage of green Ki blasts shot forth from the smoke toward Raze.
Raze managed to move out of the way of the first and second ki blasts, but was hit by two others causing a loud *BOOM* to happen and for him to hit the floor really hard.
Fhaze sent several more attacks at the lock upon the door; fortunately Chris managed to appear in front of the mind lock gate, screaming in power as the blast were slowed down and forced to detonate prematurely.
Chris landed next to where Raze had fallen while Fhaze planned his next strike.
“Raze, I need to distract him,” Chris said.
“For how long?” Raze replied.
“For five minutes, possibly shorter. And considering how much we were beating him, I’m sure you’ll be fine.”
“Alright!”
Chris planted his feet firmly on the ground, his elbows bent back as his hands took a claw-like shape. Within his palms began to form two distinctly Ki balls, one being red, the other being yellow the amount of concentrated energy being suppressed within the two small orbs were staggering and enormous. Chris had his eyes closed as he focused on his technique.
Raze leaped toward Fhaze, shooting a Ki blast ahead of himself to create a diversion. Fhaze threw his own Ki wave and the attacks erupted in a large explosion of yellow energy. The entire room lit up as Fhaze flew through the light and kneed Raze in the gut.
Raze lost all of the air in his lungs from the attack and Fhaze smashed him in his back with both of his fists. Raze was thrown toward the ground by the attack and Fhaze followed him for another attack.
Raze began to spin which slowed down his impact to where he could touch down softly. Raze looked around quickly and then blocked Fhaze’s kick from where he stood.
Meanwhile, Chris was busy charging his attack, “Ba dada dodo da dodo da dodo I’m chargin my attack.”
’You know, maybe I should shorten the time it takes to use this technique. Five minutes seems way too long.’ Chris thought to himself as continued to concentrate.
Chris slowly brought his hands holding the two Ki energy balls closer together, the two concentrated Ki balls seemingly increasing in intensity as they drew ever closer before they fused into one medium sized orange Ki ball that had flames circling around it. The flames of the technique were wild, and begin to form a miniature eastern dragon within it’s confined space.
Chris gritted his teeth, sweat dripping down his face as he focused to maintain the technique within his palms, and withstand the heat it generated. He opened his eyes, looking toward the direction of Raze and Fhaze’s on going battle.
”Raze, toward my direction!” Chris yelled.
Raze looked over to where Chris was, “Huh?!”
Fhaze took the opportunity to punch him in the face which sent the confused saiyan into the wall opposite of them.
”Ugh, I meant hit him toward my direction!” Chris exclaimed at Raze.
Fhaze looked over at Chris, “You wanted some to be hit in your direction?! Well, how about you!?”
Fhaze flew over at Chris and readied his own attack. He cupped his hands together.
“Ka! Me! Ha! Me!” Black light began to pulse into a sphere between his palms.
’He charged right at me, well that works too!’ Chris thought, grinning he thrust forward his arms causing the condensed concentrated energy within his palms to release in a bright flaming beam of Ki.
”Draconic Beam!”
“Ha!” Fhaze yelled, releasing his dark Kamehameha wave toward the Z-fighter.
But for all of Fhaze’s power, his ego, his proclamations, the evil spirit could not hope to outmatch a seasoned and powerful martial artist with years more experience than himself or Raze.
The orange Draconic beam of flaming Ki energy came flying at Fhaze with the mouth of a dragon, it smashed into the black Kamehameha wave with great force, only a few seconds transpired before Fhaze’s technique was completely engulfed and the spirit found himself facing the full blunt force of an eastern dragon shape energy wave.
The entirety of the hallway lit up brightly, before an explosive shockwave racked everything around as the Draconic Beam collided with Fhaze.
He didn’t have time to even scream in pain.
When the light died down, the beam having dissipated and the smoke had vanished into the air. Chris looked around, he didn’t sense anything.
Fhaze was nowhere to be seen, his power had disappeared, his very being had been ripped out of the scene. Ken was safe again. Chris finally let himself sigh in relief.
Discord smiled gleefully, “Well, that was amazing fight! Great job, you’ve entertained me well!” Discord clapped his hands and the food he’s been eating disappeared along with the chair.
“Though it seems like I was forgotten in all the fighting and Raze seems to be in pain…” Discord said while pulling his goatee.
‘He’s gone, for now...’ Chris thought as he turned to see Raze on the floor gasping in pain as a black aura surrounded his body.
Black smoke seemed to enshroud the area where Raze was as he started to roll around while clenching his head.
’So, Fhaze is a product of Raze’s subconscious, through something or someone manifested it into a physical form. I don’t know who though.’
Raze stopped rolling as his body began to be covered in black bioelectricity, “Get out of my head!” Raze yelled as he began to power up.
Chris brought his right hand up, a symbol forming in front of it. ‘It won’t affect Raze, but it should at least suppress Fhaze until Raze can deal with him when he is ready.’
Chris walked up to Raze’s form, standing right above him. He bent down, holding the pained saiyan still as he aimed for his forehead. ”This might hurt, but only for a bit. Split Mental Lock Kai Seal!”
Chris slammed his right palm onto Raze’s forehead, the strange symbol burning on the saiyan’s forehead. Raze jerked around violently, hitting Chris a few times in the stomach as the Z-fighter tried to hold Raze down and continue the technique. Before long, the black smoke that enshrouded Raze before dissipated into nothingness as the seal was completed.
Raze’s body went limp; Chris stood up, looking down upon the young saiyan warrior beneath him and the completed the seal working that glowed slightly before disappearing into his skin.
Raze stayed unconscious while Discord had watched the process, “Did you kill him?”
”No, as you might’ve realized, I’ve learned the Kai Sealing arts from King Kai in Other World when I died against Freeza. The seal I placed upon him has suppressed and locked Fhaze into the deepest recesses of his mind until he Raze is ready to face him.”
Discord smiled, “Well, then alls well that ends well! But this place could use some touching up! Maybe some mind altering magic to get rid of these old memories! What would you think of that?” He finished with an honest smile.
Chris shook his head, ”That would be unwise, even if Ken dislikes these memories, they have shaped him to be as he is now.”
Chris sighed, ”Now, as I recall… I said for you not to enter Ken’s mind.” He said to the floating spirit of chaos.
“Ah… Well, you never said not to go in the dark space, I think so anyway… You were vague and…” Discord snapped his fingers and Raze appeared on his back.
“We have another appointment with actually being able to exist in the real world, so if you’ll excuse us merciful Chris, we’ll be going now!” Discord snapped his finger and nothing happened.
“What…” He snapped several more times, still nothing.
“But…” Discord started to sweat a little more as he snapped his finger multiple times.
The sound of cracking fingers could be heard from Chris, “My, my, what do we have? A spirit of chaos having lost his teleportation ability? I wonder who exactly could have been responsible for such a tragedy?”
Discord looked around, “Well, I’m still going to fly!” Discord began to fly towards the exit and sped away as fast as possible.
Discord looked behind him, seeing no trace of Chris, only to look in front to find the Z-fighter flying backward. ”Going somewhere, friend? I’m sure this dark space is within Ken’s mind.
“NOPE.AVI!” Discord flew the sideways direction and Raze fell off his back.
This time however, Chris put a stop to him getting away by grabbing the end of Discord’s tail. Discord now was now in a pinch, literally.
”I’m sure this would give you a big reminder next time you think of doing this!”
“WAIT!” Discord exclaims as Chris halts his attack for a few seconds. Discord snaps his fingers and a pair of glasses appear on his face.
“You wouldn’t hit a spirit with glasses on, would you?” Discord asks Chris.
Chris looks at him with a smile, “Yes, I would.”
Discord looks at the readers, “Can’t blame me for trying.”
*WHAM!*
A punch from one Ascended Super Saiyan Z-fighter sent the spirit of chaos, Discord, into seeing stars.
”And now you can go.”
Discord didn’t need to be told twice, as he snapped his fingers and disappeared from Ken’s mind.
Chris sighed, he had much work to do because of that Fhaze incident.
Journey of Saiyans (Twin Version)
Chapter 9: Trixie Frost Tarts
Crossover Saga
Chapter 9: Trixie Frost Tarts
Kira Altarmore-Heartstrings awoke stretching her arms, legs, and tail out as she yawned adorably. She climbed down the ladder of the twin bunker and landed on the ground, turning toward the bathroom where she proceeded to due the now daily ritual of relieving, washing, brushing, and dressing.
After doing those things, Kira came back into her and Ken’s room to find Ken still asleep. Since it was saturday, and thus no school, Kira decided to leave Ken alone. She left the room, going down the stairs to have a delicious breakfast of crunchy bready heavenly Frost Tarts.
What? She really likes Frost Tarts! It is like, the best food ever!
Kira reached the end of the stairway, and headed toward the kitchen. “♪Frost Tarts, Frost Tarts, pop it in and it pops up!♪” She sang.
Kira eyes spotted Bon-Bon in the kitchen, “Morning Auntie Bon-Bon!”
Bon-Bon smiled sweetly at the little saiyan hybrid girl, “Good morning Kira, did you dream nicely last night?”
The twin sister of Ken sat on the counter stool, her legs kicking about and her tail wiggled behind her. “Yep! I had the best dream ever, there were lots of toys and food everywhere! And Ken, you, and mommy were there too! I saw Raze-sensei, but he didn’t appear that much.” Kira said, recounting her dreamworld.
She stopped her dream talk and asked Bon-Bon, “Can I have some Frost Tarts? I’m hungry.”
The yellow furred Earth Pony reached for the cabinet and opened it, revealing the lack of Frost Tarts within.
Kira starred for a bit at the Frost Tart-less cabinet before crying out, “No! There are no more Frost Tarts! I’m going to starve!”
If Kira paid attention to Bon-Bon, she would’ve saw her surrogate aunt desperately trying to hold in a giggle. Bon-Bon closed the cabinet, and seemed to make a thinking motion before looking back at the eight year old child.
“I believe I saw Raze take a box out of the cabinet yesterday.” She said, with a hidden grin. Just then, Lyra came in the kitchen saying...
“Alright, so I got the recipe for the- “
“Raze-sensei! How could he! He’s a meanie, taking the Frost Tarts is pure evil!” Kira interrupted, leaping off the stool she was on.
“Wha… Did I miss something?” Lyra questioned, but nopony answered her.
“I’m going to convince him to tell me where he took the Frost Tarts right now!” Kira shouted with supremacy before stomping toward the direction of the living room, her eyes filled with the fire of determination.
The instant she spotted Raze, Kira ran toward him and jumped in the air before landing right on top of him. This caused Raze to wake up in a shock as Kira screamed in his face while grasping his shirt with her small hands. “FROST TARTS! WHERE ARE THEY?!”
This action caused a chain of events to happen starting with Raze being shocked. He tried to sit up with great speed which caused himself to fall to the ground off the couch with Kira on top of him, and a heap of blankets following her.
Apparently Bon-Bon had walked in the living room just to see this charade, a small smile on her face as she said. “Yeah Raze, where are those Frost Tarts?”
Raze forced himself and Kira to sit up, the blankets falling off of them, but as he attempted to reply, Kira interrupted him.
"I can sense the Frost Tarts with you Raze-sensei! You can't hide them from me!" She continued to shout.
Raze looked at her, "What's with you and Frost Tarts?"
Kira’s eyes targeted that strange case with the capsule stuff, she went for it but Raze caught Kira’s hand from ever reaching the capsule case.
“Don’t touch that.” Raze said firmly.
“But the Frost Tarts! Sensei! The Frost Tarts!” Kira exclaimed as she struggled against Raze’s hold.
Raze pulled her attention away from her and sent a glare toward Bon-Bon, “You set me up for this, didn’t you?”
Bon-Bon just gave him a innocent face, “No, what made you think that?”
“The fact that she’s attacking me over a box of Frost Tarts made it apparent!” Raze said. Kira sent her other arm toward the case that possibly contained her Frost Tarts within, but Raze grasped that arm too and the little hybrid girl found herself struggling even more from her sensei’s grip.
Raze turned his attention back to her, “Let’s make a deal, if you can hit me three times in three times gravity, I’ll give you the Frost Tarts and we’ll go into town today. Does that sound good?” He proposed.
Kira paused, ‘But he’s way too powerful for me to beat alone!’ She thought, before she asked a question of Raze. “Can nii-san help me?”
Raze crossed his arms and tilted his head to the side, “Maybe. Hmmm… Okay! He can help, but you need to get him up so we can get this started!”
Kira leaped off of Raze, and promptly shouted, “Ken! Wake up!”
‘Nee-chan… ‘ She heard her brother say telepathically. ‘What is it?’
’Raze-sensei stole my Frost Tarts, and to get them back I gotta hit him three times in a spar! But I can’t do it alone, I’m not strong enough to beat him by myself. So can you help me?’ Kira telepathically replied.
Raze looked around, “I guess you’ll have to go and get him.” he said.
‘Okay… I’ll be right down.’ Ken replied.
Kira grinned, “Give him a minute.” She said to Raze.
The footsteps of someone coming down the staircase was heard, until Kira spotted her twin brother on the stairs… Still in his pajamas.
“Well, he’s definitely not going to fight in those, Lyra would probably attack me with a frying pan if I had Ken mess up the wrong clothes.” Raze said.
’Ken, you're still in your pajamas!’ She thought to him, embarrassment on her face.
‘Oh yeah… ‘ He replied with realization.
Ken grinned, “Don’t worry sis, I’ll just get dressed in a flash and then we’ll beat sensei!” With that, he rushed back upstairs.
Kira smiled pridefully, confident in her and her brother’s ability to beat Raze-sensei. To defeat him, claim the Frost Tarts, and also win a trip to the town with him! Maybe when they’re at town Raze could help them find the Cutie Mark Crusaders cutie mark. And take them out to eat for dinner, yeah that sounds great!
’Today is going to be so much fun!’ Kira thought.
Kira was so caught up with the possible fun activities that could go on today, she didn’t even notice Raze open the door for Derpy and The Doctor to enter the house.
“Good Morning!” Kira heard Derpy said.
Kira turned her attention back to the real world, she smiled back at Derpy who also was smiling. Kira’s nose suddenly sniffed the air, and she realised her mother and Auntie Bon-Bon were cooking food. The little girl was now feeling quite jolly for some food, but she had to get the Frost Tarts first!
The Doctor was looking around and sniffing the air, “Is that Hay Bacon Strips that I seem to be smelling?”
Mommy Lyra stepped out of the kitchen, glancing at Kira with a smile on her face before turning her attention to The Doctor, “Yes, along with roasted carrot and parsnip soup.”
“You got anything for the average young strapping saiyan?” Raze asked, hints of sarcasm within his voice. Not that Kira could understand what he meant by ‘strapping’.
’Strapping? Is it going to strap something on him?’ Kira thought to herself as she watched the events unfold.
“How about eat what you get and don’t question it?” Lyra deadpanned.
“I will never eat carrots, they are evil and deserve to be eradicated through overwhelming force.” Raze said while crossing his arms and turning away.
Lyra was going to say something, but a new challenger appeared. Bon-Bon stepped out of the kitchen armed with her mighty wooden spoon of splintering justice. Kira shivered appropriately.
“We’ll have to go grocery shopping later today… Oh, is Raze giving you any trouble?” Bon-Bon asked while smacking the wooden spoon against her hoof threateningly.
Lyra looked at her, “Why are you standing on your back hooves?”
“It helps persuade customers.” Bon-Bon said while glaring at Raze.
’Why is Auntie Bon-Bon mad with Raze-sensei? Maybe she realises that Raze is evil for stealing the Frost Tarts!’ Kira nodded to herself in her genius puzzle solving.
“I thought it was because you belong in the kitchen, with your pink apron and your carrots.” Raze said.
The Doctor spoke up, “Raze, it might be wise to be quiet.”
Derpy frowned and nodded in agreement, “You might want to listen to him, Razey.”
Kira didn’t even know what was going on, why they saying that?
“No way, there’s no meat or apples, but we have to only get carrots? I really don’t like carrots!” Raze said while maintaining his position.
“Raze-sensei, what’s wrong with carrots?” Kira questioned, “I like carrots, they’re crunchy!” Kira said with joy, carrots were good for you! That’s what mommy Lyra always said.
“It’s a taste thing, you wouldn’t understand, they’ve got you brainwashed!” Raze said to Kira.
‘Brainwashed? I don’t feel brainwashed… ‘ Kira thought while giving a adorable pout, she suddenly heard steam in the air, Kira looked toward Bon-Bon to find her redder than a red apple!
Raze-sensei turned around slowly, “Is there some tea… on?”
To Kira, Bon-Bon looked very very red and puffy! Maybe she ate something bad during breakfast?
“My cooking of carrots… Brainwashing her?!” Bon-Bon said with anger.
“Yeah! Totally! So if you could go and make something that won’t brainwash us, I’d really like that!” Raze said.
Kira’s tailed curled up in her confusion, were carrots really bad? Was mommy wrong? Were they brainwashing her and her brother? She didn’t think so, maybe Raze actually never tasted carrots? Or maybe he saw some sort of giant pony-eating carrot monster that made him think that.
“Oh, I’ll make something alright.” Bon-Bon said in an unbelievably calm manner; turning around to head back to the kitchen.
‘Sis! I got dressed and am ready!’ Kira heard Ken’s voice rang in her head.
‘Yay! Now we can win those Frost Tarts and a trip to the town!’ Kira replied with joy.
Kira, ignoring the talking grown ups around her, watching as Ken came down the staircase. Now in his full blown mint green gi, harp cutie mark included on the left chest mark, and a orange band around his waist. Ken walked up next to his sister, and Kira promptly turned around to face Raze.
“Raze-sensei! We’re ready!” Kira said, watching as Raze snapped out of whatever thoughts he currently was having and turn toward her direction.
“Alright! Let’s get to the gravity chamber! Then we can eat and get out to see the town!” Raze said to them.
Kira and Ken, or Ken and Kira, grew excited, they were going to beat Raze-sensei and then not only will they achieve their frost tarts, but Raze will have to take them to the park, play with them, and maybe buy them lunch! Well… Maybe for that last one.
“Let’s go, let’s go! We will win those Frost Tarts and get a town trip!” Kira exclaimed to her Ken who nodded in agreement.
“We’ll win Kira, no question!” Ken said in support.
Raze smiled, “This time we can use Kaio-ken x2 to help with the gravity, okay?”
Kira stopped smiling, that was unfair! And a bit depressing, she really needed learn how to do it so that she could use it! “But… I don’t know how to use Kaio-ken.”
Raze smiled, “Then you’re going to learn with everyone!”
Raze began to pull her along at this point as they were soon out the backdoor and standing in front of the gravity chamber’s door. Raze quickly opened up the door and turned on the lights.
However Ken had something on his mind, “Raze-sensei, I have a question.” Ken said to Raze who turned to give Ken his full undivided attention.
“What’s up?” Raze asked him.
“Is it possible to go higher than times two on Kaio-ken? Cause daddy says yes, but he never showed me.” Ken questioned, he always wanted to make sure. Daddy would never lie, but it never hurts to get confirmation from someone else.
“Oh, of course! The highest level of Kaioken that I’ve managed is Kaioken x30, but if you tried that, then you’d probably die.” Raze said.
Needless to say, Ken was now freaking out from Raze’s information.
“Die? I don’t wanna die!” Ken exclaimed while waving his arms in alarm, he was too young to die! Plus, he liked being alive! He didn’t even know if they had that Other World like Chris’ world!
“Well, then don’t try to do what I do, but we can try to get you up to x5 Kaioken. That would probably be a good start up to try and reach for you. For Kira, her max would be x2 if we manage to get her learning it fast.” Raze said to them both at this point.
Ken gave a sigh of relief, he knew his limits now, just don’t go above them and he won’t die! With this thought in mind, he regained his composure.
“Okay!” The Twins said in unison.
“Well, if you’re ready, we can get started, actually, just do some quick stretching like last time while I get the machine started.” Raze said, with that said he went toward that strange gravity machine that the twins still couldn’t understand half the time.
Ken and Kira took a glance at each other, a little unworded communication that twins share before they both started stretching their arms and legs. Their saiyan hearing picked up the many pressings of buttons and advanced electronic sounds as they did many various stretches.
‘Hey sis, what we gonna do with Raze after this anyhow?’ Ken questioned in their minds.
’Well… I was thinking when he brought us to the town we could guide him to the clubhouse! There he can help us and our friends in getting their cutie marks!’ Kira replied to Ken telepathically.
‘That sounds fun! Oh and sis?’ Ken questioned Kira.
’Yeah Ken?’ Kira replied back.
‘Have you heard Daddy recently? He’s been really quiet today and it’s kinda strange.’
Kira gave a small sad smile before replying, ’I can’t hear daddy remember? I only know what he says when you tell me.’
‘Oh… I’m sorry I forgot. But Daddy loves you very much that’s for sure!’ He said, trying to cheer his sister up.
’Yeah! Of course he does, daddy is awesome!’ She said with a grin. Through she couldn’t help but think to herself how she could never see or hear her father ever again, unless you count hearing through Ken.
Finishing their remaining stretches, they watched as Raze looked to them after he finished all the button stuff.
“Well, do you both feel ready?” Raze asked Ken and Kira.
“Yeah!” They replied wholeheartedly, before both of them slipped into their fighting stances.
“Okay, here we go!” Raze pressed a button and immediately Ken and Kira felt a huge force pressurize on their small bodies.
‘This feels a bit heavier than last time!’ Ken thought to his sister as he fought against the gravity and balanced himself.
Kira didn't reply, she was having a harder time dealing with the intense pressure that attempted to make her into breakfast pancakes on the ground. When she finally managed to adjust to the shift in gravity, Kira looked toward Raze with a successful smile.
Raze didn't seem bothered by the gravity one bit, he just looked at them both with a smile, “Oh, you seem to be doing a bit better, but we’ll see how this works out. Okay Kira, I need you to try and run! Can you do that? We won’t start the match until I can at least get her to be more used to the gravity change.”
Kira paled more than she was already, but quickly regained her color before Raze could notice.
“No problem, I’ll be running in no time sensei!” Kira said with confidence.
‘Okay… Just one foot in front of the other… ‘ Kira moved a foot forward, but she lifted it too high and with too much effort against the gravity causing her to land face first on to the tile ground.
Raze frowned, “Uh, you alright?”
‘I’ll help you sis!’ Ken said with concern, as he began to approach his twin sister.
But Raze held his hand up in front of Ken stopped the concerned brother from helping Kira. Raze shook his head, indicating to Ken that he should let Kira do it on her own. Ken didn't like it, but a sensei knows what’s best… Right?
Kira frowned toward Raze for stopping her brother in helping her, she pushed herself up, her arms shaking from the heavy gravity and her tail limp on the ground.
’I can do this! I have to become stronger!’ Kira thought, channeling her anger and determination to the task at hand and not toward her sensei. Who Kira knew within her that he was only trying to help.
“Alright, just keep trying, Kira.” Raze said to her.
Kira powered up her Ki energy silently, she was going to use her Ki to help her stand up better. After all, their father had taught them that pushing Ki to their muscles will increase their strength further, as well as help with Ki control. After a short minute, Kira stood up pridefully once again, taking a step forward, and more cautiously aware of herself as her tail swayed to side to side to adjust her body’s balance correctly.
Kira noticed Raze watching her curiously and knew she had to show him that she could take this gravity.
Kira began walking a bit faster, her body having gotten a rhythm of balance and movement within the heavy gravity. The little girl grinned triumphantly as her speed picked up and she completed her first lap around the Gravity machine.
’Yes! I’m doing it!’ Kira thought, letting her brother hear her.
‘Great job sis! I knew you could do it!’ Ken applauded.
“You seem to be walking fast alright, but you need to start running!” Raze turned to face Ken.
“You too, let’s see if you can run, Ken!” Raze said to the eight year old boy.
“Okay!” Ken said. The brother of Kira had started walking with better ease than his twin, and sooner started run-walking before going to a full out sprinting.
Kira watched with a little jealousy, ‘I gotta catch up to Ken! He can’t always protect me forever, I wanna protect him too!’ She thought to herself as she attempted to try and catch up, filled with motivation in trying to become not only as strong as Ken, but also strong enough to protect him, their mother Lyra, Auntie Bon-Bon, their friends, and Raze-sensei too!
Ken was getting faster and faster, he felt like he was training really hard! And it excited him, when suddenly as he glanced toward his twin sister to see her face overcome with emotion, he felt Kira’s Ki spiked to a higher level than normal. Kira’s speed drastically increased, passing by him before her energy reverted back down to her ‘normal’ levels.
Ken was awestruck, before it clicked in his mind that that happens at times. He almost completely forgot about it cause it seemed to natural to him!
“Okay! You can both stop running now, you’re both sufficiently warmed up!” Raze said to them both.
Ken and Kira stopped just in front of Raze, their curious little childish faces looking up to him to know about what was up next.
Raze smiled, “Okay, Kira I need to start focusing your Ki. Power up to your very maximum!”
Kira nodded, and bent her elbows back as she shouted just a bit before a blue aura burst into existence around her. Reaching for all of her inner Ki that she could muster, she brought it out to show Raze and Ken just how much more powerful she was since last time! And being half saiyan, that’s nothing to scoff at.
Raze looked at her curiously, “That’s a pretty high power level, now I want Ken to power up to his maximum without going Super Saiyan.”
Kira smiled with pride and joy, her tail wagging as she was glad that Raze thought her power level was pretty high!
“Hai!” Ken shouted, as he powered up in the same way as his twin sister, the blue aura enveloping his childish figure. His Ki energy increasing higher and higher, small dust picking up below him as he raised it to his base maximum.
Ken felt himself approach his limit, and knowing that Raze didn't say not to do this technique, he shouted out. “Kaio-ken times two!” And with that, Ken felt his Ki energy skyrocketed and his muscles tense with the new found strength coursing through him. The hybrid boy grinned and said, “You didn't say not to use Kaio-ken!”
Raze smirked, “Alright, you caught me on that one! But now it’s time to begin our sparring match. Now you both have to continually maintain your highest level of normal strength, so Ken, stay off Kaio-ken and Super Saiyan.”
Kira didn’t waste a second, she charged at Raze yelling out her battle cry, “Frost Tarts!”
Raze sidestepped her and she went right past him before she felt Raze deliver a soft kick to her back, causing her to spin frontward straight into the wall, “By the way, nice battle cry.” She heard him compliment.
Ken didn't charge forward, instead he leaped back shooting a couple Ki blasts as he went. But watched as Raze summoned a ki barrier to take the attacks head on. The blasts exploded harmlessly around their sensei.
“You need to be faster on the uptake, Ken.” Raze said.
Ken heard his sister yell in his mind, ’Ken! I’ll distract him while you use a Kamehameha!’
‘Okay! Good idea!’ Ken replied, leaping further away from Raze.
In seconds after Kira had told Ken that, she charged at Raze’s left side. The little girl swung her fist and kicked with her legs as hard as she could, but Kira could feel the gravity making her slower than she normally was. She thrusts her right fist forward, but Raze had easily guided it away and then kneed her in the chest.
Kira flew back for a second and then the gravity took hold. The hybrid girl hit the ground fast, but thankfully managed to catch herself. Kira slowly pushed her body back up against the stupid gravity holding her down, she began to gather energy so that she could launch Ki blast at Raze, but she felt her brother’s energy spike upward.
She smirked quite darkly for a child as she saw Raze turn around to meet her brother’s incoming technique, a Kamehameha wave.
With Ken, before he had launched the Kamehameha wave, began to form the hand motions for the technique. Watching Kira carefully as she fought to distract their sensei, which she did really well in doing, so that he could create the Kamehameha in the first place and use it against him.
’Morning Ken, sorry I’m late. I’m currently fixing a hiccup.’ He voice rang out in his head.
‘Daddy! Me and Kira-’
’Kira and I.’ Ken’s father, Chris, corrected.
Ken pouted, did his dad always have to do that? ‘Kira and I, are fighting Raze-sensei. But I think Raze-sensei will dodge my Kamehameha and attack me!’ He replied with the correct grammar.
’Then change it to a Bending Kamehameha Wave.’
‘What’s that?’
’It’s a little weaker than the normal variation, but it allows you to control the direction of the beam. Here, let me show you a few images of how to do it’
Ken’s vision was replaced with a six page panel of pictures with easy-to-learn colorful instructions!
’Pretty easy to learn for you since my energy helps your control.’ Chris stated.
‘Cool! Thank you daddy!’ Ken thanked his father.
’No problem, now I’m going to keep fixing that hiccup that I mentioned earlier. Good luck son. Chris said before becoming silent once again.
Ken, with his new technique memorized from the pictures in his head, decreased the amount of Ki he was channeling into his technique. Shifting his hands ever so slightly to allow for a grasp of the Kamehameha’s origin point.
“Ka… Me… Ha… Me… Ha!” Ken shouted, before a light cyan beam shot toward Raze just as he turned around.
Raze smiled, walking away from his current area without even bothering to mess with the incoming attack. Ken did a cheer in his mind, he so predicted this! And thanks to his dad, Chris, he had a solution against it!
Ken moved his arms along with the beam within to the side, causing the Kamehameha wave to curve toward Raze’s direction. Raze noticed the energy was still following him and he broke into a run.
As Raze continued to run away from Ken’s bending Kamehameha Wave, Kira had went toward Ken’s position and instinctive guarded his back.
’Wow Ken! When you learn how to do that!
Ken, even if he was concentrating on curving to attack Raze, still managed to reply.
‘Daddy taught me.’ He thought to her, before fully directing his attention back to his technique. He was beginning to feel a bit worn out through, continuously supplying Ki energy to the beam was taxing on his reserves.
Ken saw Raze climb up the wall, but the little boy was determined to land a hit on Raze with his new technique and with some effort, brought his hands upward causing the Kamehameha wave to do the same.
Finally it seemed Raze had enough, he turned around and caught the attack. Ken and Kira watched as Raze held it, and Ken increased his efforts to the wave which started to push the full-blooded saiyan sensei back slightly.
Ken started to breathe more heavily, beginning to be exhausted as the technique continued to eat away at his energy as Ken supplied it.
Kira saw her brother’s ailment, and without any words needed saying, lay her hands upon Ken’s back and gave her own Ki energy to him. Allowing Ken both a breather and more energy to blast away at Raze with the Kamehameha.
Thus said technique increased in size and strength, and an explosion erupted from Raze’s position. Making Ken cut the power to his technique and letting it die down.
Smoke arose from where the attack had combusted. Ken and Kira quickly shifted to their fighting positions as they closed their eyes and sensed Raze’s energy. They felt him approaching rapidly and Ken looked to his sister and quickly said.
“I’ll boost you up and you can strike down at him while I do the below!”
“Alright!” Kira quickly replied.
“Gotcha now!” Raze yelled as he appeared out of the smoke.
Ken boosted his sister up into the air above Raze. Kira, using the intense gravity to her advantage thus increasing her speed as she came down onto Raze, used her right foot to smash Raze’s face in. While Ken had charged forward at him with the intent of hitting his stomach with his left fist.
“Take this sensei!” Kira shouted as her foot connected with Raze.
Raze flew back from the heavy kick, and quickly caught himself with both of his arms and flipped over Ken’s outstretched left fist.
Raze flipped through the air, landing on his feet and going at Ken, “Alright! I’ve definitely gotcha now!” He yelled at Ken.
Raze caught up to him and Ken felt Raze elbow him in the side, not knowing that Raze was holding back for the child’s own safety. Ken went flying, but it didn’t last as he felt Raze grabbed his right leg mid-air and continued running with him now in tow. Kira saw Raze heading toward her, but as he reached her, Ken recovered and blasted Raze with a Ki attack.
The attack causes Raze to drop Ken and fly at a wall. Ken quickly picked himself up, Kira rushing to his side. The twins shared a glance before both charging at Raze. Raze had recovered and began charging at them as well. Kira couldn't run as fast as her twin, but she knew that perhaps going behind him might prove fruitful.
Ken grasped on to a energy within the seal, ‘Only need a little bit dad, he never said I couldn't use yours!’ He thought to his father, but Chris never replied.
Ken felt his father’s energy course through his body, making him stronger, faster, and less tired. He channeled this energy mostly to his arm and shoulder muscles he continued to charge toward Raze-sensei.
Raze thrust his left fist towards Ken. But the little boy’s Ki energy boost also came with newly discovered speed, Ken dodged Raze’s strike and uppercutted Raze’s chin with his fist before spinning mid air and delivering a kick to his chest with his right foot. Kira coming up soon after beside him, and delivered her own kick right besides Ken’s.
The attacks put Raze into the floor and this time he could not catch himself. He laid there with a big goofy smile upon his face.
“I think we’re done…” Raze said.
“Aww… Really? But this is exciting!” Ken complained.
“Yes, I’m afraid that this training session is complete. We’ll start Kaioken training tomorrow…” Raze trailed off with a small laugh.
Ken and Kira’s energies, along with their father’s energy, powered down to their normal suppressed states. With the release of tension and adrenaline, the two Twins fell on their rumps in exhaustion as they breathed heavily.
Raze suddenly yelled out, “Computer! Turn off the gravity simulation!”
Within seconds, the room began to light up a bit more and any pressure being exerted was lifted from their bodies.
Ken and Kira breathed sighs of relief, “Much better… “ they mumbled in unison.
Raze visibly nodded, “I’m sure it is, but now we probably should go get cleaned up, I may take out my ship if Lyra’s backyard can hold anymore big things in it.” He said.
“Mommy en-enchanted the backyard to be good enough for sparring.” Kira said, her tail lifting from the ground back to a wiggle.
Raze smiled, and took out that capsule case thingy, “Then I’ll just go do that, but first…” He trailed off while taking out one of those poof maker devices. He clicked the top of it and threw it, causing a mini explosion of puffy clouds. The two twins stared curiously at the puffy clouds until a fridge appeared out of it!
“I got a box of Frost Tarts to give back.” Raze said while opening it and taking out the sacred divine box of heavenly gifted Frost Tarts.
One second Kira was on the ground next to her twin, the next Kira had jumped up with a burst of energy and appeared in front of Raze. She was eager to receive her prized box of Frost Tarts that she would devour whole-heartedly.
Raze handed it to her quickly before she could bite the box out of his hands, thus losing a few fingers. Kira didn't notice it, as she was too distracted opening the closed box to receive her reward, but Ken saw Raze put the fridge back into it’s poof maker device form. Ken and Kira absently followed their sensei, Ken walking next to his sister as she opened the box.
“Okay, I’m going to wash up!” Raze said as they all walked towards the entrance. He opened the door and the Twins joyfully ran past him with the box of Frost Tarts. Kira dug right into the box, unwrapping a package and stuffing a frost tart into her mouth.
‘Mmmh… Yummy… ‘ Kira said in her thoughts, Ken hearing them loud and clear.
“Nee-chan! Give me one!” Ken whined, wanting something to snack on as well as persuaded to wanting to eat an, albeit he wouldn't admit it, delicious Frost Tart.. Kira grabbed another package and gave it to her twin.
Raze suddenly winded up like a baseball pitcher and mockingly threw one of those poof makers toward the empty patch. A large explosion of pink smoke appeared forth before settling back down revealing the item that was once within, and bring out another, and whole and behold, a really big ball shaped building appeared.
Ken and Kira were lost in the sudden appearance of the ship they didn't notice Raze had gone and opened the hatch.
Instead, they succumbed to their human curiosity and vanished into after images to appear beside the newest thing in their yard.
‘Lookie, lookie!’ Ken said to his sister using telepathically as she scurried alongside the ship, moving hands on it, feeling it’s smooth unedged surface.
‘Wow! It looks so cool!’ Kira replied, still eating her Frost Tarts but was now brushing her free hand along the exterior.
“Wow! What’s this thing?” Ken asked his sensei half-mindedly as he continued to touch the ship’s outer frame.
Kira poked and prodded, her hand getting dangerously near the, unknowing to her, capsulize switch.
Raze suddenly yelled at her, running up to her in a sprint, “Stop, Kira!”
Kira froze, scared that she was about to do something bad. ‘I don’t want to do anything bad! That’s Ken’s job!’
‘Yeah, it is my job!’ Ken thought to her, before his eyes widened, ‘Hey!’
“Uhhh… Just don’t press that button. I’ve never been holding onto the ship while it turns into a capsule, so it’s probably best not to!” Raze said to her.
“Sorry.” Kira stated, removing her hands from the exterior, Ken followed suite after hearing Raze’s words, really if Raze didn’t dare to try it, they shouldn’t either!
Raze sighed audibly, “You can come see the inside of the ship, but don’t press anything. Besides, I’ve gotta go get another gi anyway.”
Ken stepped forward, when all the sudden he felt nauseous, his head felt like it was going to explode into a million bajillion katrillion pieces! He didn’t even know what bajillion or katrillion was! Ken clutched his head with his hand, trying to somewhat ease the pain.
“Ow… “ Ken muttered, but soon he felt his father’s energy soothing his mental pain to a minor headache.
“You okay Ken?” Kira asked with concern.
“Yeah, just a little headache. I’m fine!” Ken replied with a fake smile, he didn’t want to stop his sister or Raze from not doing things today cause he suddenly felt sick!
Raze arched an eyebrow, but it seemed he was persuaded… Mostly.
“You sure you’re alright, Ken?” Raze asked.
“I’m fine sensei! Honest!” Ken lied firmly, continuing to walk forward with the best of his ability as the headache would allow him.
Raze nodded slowly, “If you’re sure. Well, come on inside and I’ll show you the ship.”
The Twin’s sensei walked up the platform and went inside the ball-shaped building. Ken and Kira followed just behind him and stopped right after they entered the place, watching as the lights flickered on when Raze snapped up the switch.
“The ship doesn’t bite, just watch out for the german toilet!” Raze assured them.
“What’s a german?” The twins both said.
“Uhhhh… Probably better to not ask. It was a weird bug they never got out. You learn to get used to it after a while.” Raze said to the confused Twins.
A voice sounded from where there appeared to be a ladder going up, “Ich werde Sie und die Kinder verschlingen ganze!”
“Was that the german toilet?” Ken questioned, ‘That’s so silly! But it didn’t sound very nice!’ Ken thought.
’It should learn some manners! Remind me never to go use the bathroom here!’ Kira replied.
“Yes, but you’ll probably never going to see that part of the ship. Actually, no tour below the ladder. Too much hassle. But this is the main room!” Raze said to them both.
Kira took a bite of another frost tart, “Mmkay!” She said with her mouth full.
“Well, you both probably gotta go and get cleaned up! That was the tour of the ship and I’ll see you both in a little while!” Raze said as pulled them towards the exit.
“Why can’t we bath in this thing? You said it could clean you.” Kira questioned, wondering what the bathtub of the ship was like. It was probably all super fancy like all that high tech stuff! Maybe lots of bath toys too, and soap bubbles! Soap bubbles everywhere!
“Because you have a house with all kinds of stuff on it to clean yourselves!” Raze said while continuing to push them towards the exit.
Ken and Kira thought this over, Raze-sensei probably didn’t have any bath toys or bubble bath stuff.
“Okay!” The two adorable twins said.
“We’ll see you at lunch sensei!” Ken and Kira finished, leaving the ball-shaped building that was apparently a ship.
Ken and Kira walked down the hatch and stepped on to the grass. They made their way to the house and entered it. Greeted by their adopted mother immediately.
“Supper is ready, but you two should clean your hands and face first!” Lyra said to them with a motherly smile.
The two twins nodded, and went over to the nearest sink, which was a bathroom, and washed their hands and faces with soap. Before drying off with the bathroom towels. Once done, they went back to the dining room, and played with some toys to ease some boredom.
Kira suddenly got a piece of paper, and began writing down names.
Ken grew curious, “Why you doing that?”
“Cause I wanna write the names of everyone we know!” Kira said with a smile, writing down names in the Equestrian language.
Ken peeked over to see a list of names, involving all the Cutie Mark Crusaders, Raze, Lyra, Bon-Bon, The Doctor, Derpy, Luna, and other assorted people.
“How do you remember all those names?” Ken questioned.
“Cause it’s important to remember and be kind to everypony!” Kira replied with a pout, her tail wiggled in the air.
Kira continued to write down names, and Ken grew bored and just sat next to her and watched. Ken’s attention soon meet with Kira’s wiggling tail, mischief getting on his mind.
He pinched her tail’s end.
Kira’s face flushed red with slight pleasure, before it was replaced by uncontrollable rage.
Ken suddenly found himself upside down against the wall, his head dizzy with a bruise mark on his forehead. Kira standing over him with her fist held up high, eyes closed as her rage settled down.
Lyra looked from the kitchen to Ken’s dizzy form and Kira’s standing one. It didn’t take a genius to know that Ken must’ve done something Kira didn’t approve of.
Lyra sighed and said, “Ken, maybe this might teach you to not do what you did ever again. Now apologize.”
“Uh huh… “ Ken mumbled, “Sorry nee-chan… “
“Apology accepted, just don’t do that again… It felt weird.”
The smell of food broke them from their thoughts, instantly the two hybrid twins found themselves sitting at the dinner room table. The food being placed on the table, they almost salivated if they didn’t catch themselves before their mother noticed.
Raze had entered the room, and talked to The Doctor about some strange machine thingy and repairs. Not that Ken and Kira understood it, being uneducated in the advanced technology of the future. Their schools really needed a reform so they could learn better. Not that they knew that either.
Finally, everyone approached the dinner table.
‘That felt like it took forever!’ Ken yelled to his sister in his mind.
’I know! Grown-ups take so long!’ Kira replied in agreement.
Lyra sat down on a chair, saying to everypony, “Bon-Bon and I are going to help set up for the visitation of Princess Celestia tomorrow, and I want you all on your best behavior today and tomorrow!” Lyra said, glancing toward Raze’s direction.
“What? Why is everyone staring at me?” Raze questioned everyone and pony.
“We’re not staring at you sensei.” Ken said, looking toward Raze before going back to the food laid out. When could they eat it already! They’re hungry!
“But Lyra did!” Raze said to Ken.
Bon-Bon opened the dishes up, revealing that carrot and parsnip soup, hay bacon fries, but also this other dish Ken and Kira had never seen before. But it looked really tasty! It smelled pretty good too! They only could hope to eat right now instead of having to wait for everypony else!
“Well, kids get food first, then mares, and I’ll go last.” Raze said to them while walking away.
They couldn’t complain against that! Raze is the best sensei ever!
‘Let’s eat!’ Ken thought out to his sister.
’Finally!’
Unfortunately, Bon-Bon started to object, “WHAT?! I mean, no Raze go ahead. You are the guest here after all.”
Raze smiled, “But I was rude earlier, you should all go first.”
But their mommy Lyra saved the day! Lyra levitated some spoonfuls of food upon the twins’ plates, they began to eat as soon as their mother finished placing the food.
Bon-Bon continued to insist on Raze eating early, “No, you weren’t. I was the rude one, not respecting your distaste toward carrots in the first place.”
Ken and Kira munched on their food with quite content faces and a wagging tail as they watched the dialogue exchange between Raze and Bon-Bon.
“But I told you to go back to the kitchen with a pink apron and that was pretty mean. So you should definitely go first!” Raze said to her.
“Well, you also showed me that carrots brainwash. Isn’t that kind of you to everypony else in the future to know about?” Bon-Bon said quickly.
Raze was getting annoyed, “Why are you so insistent that I eat first?”
“Well it’s because-”
At this moment, the twins at tried that new food.
“It’s so yummy!” The two twins shouted with glee, they started to eat more of it with glee.
“Raze-sensei you gotta try it! You gotta!” Kira said, looking toward Raze. Really, it was very tasty! Raze just had to try it!
Raze looked at them and then back at Bon-Bon, “Okay…”
Ken and Kira continued to munch on their dishes, Lyra as well eating it.
Lyra didn’t like where this was going, she didn’t have any problems with Raze disliking carrots, but Bon-Bon did own half the house, and paid most of the bills.
Lyra pays the groceries, and that’s three quarters of the bill’s payment each month!
Ken and Kira absently watched as Raze picked up his fork and took a bite of the food before him and soon began to eat a bit faster and then it was gone as if it had never touched the plate. They giggled every briefly before devouring their own food down, asking seconds from their mother as they finished.
They didn’t pay attention to what Raze had said, but Ken grew curious on what the new dish was.
“Mommy, what is this stuff?” Ken asked as he swallowed some of the new food.
Lyra looked kindly at Ken, “Bon-Bon called it Carrot casserole.”
Raze suddenly jumped up and put his plate into the sink, “I’m going to the ship now to cleanse myself by visiting the german toilet.”
“Why? What’s wrong, Raze-sensei?” Ken questioned Raze.
“I’ll tell you what’s wrong, Bon-Bon just made a powerful enemy today, one that blows up planets with his pinkie.” Raze said while going to the back door and leaving He had left the backdoor open and Bon-Bon walked over and shuts it.
“Auntie Bon-Bon, why is Raze sensei angry?” Ken then questioned Bon-Bon.
“I won against him, that’s why he is angry.” Bon-Bon said.
Kira put her silverware down, “Well that’s not very nice… “ She muttered.
Lyra looked to Bon-Bon, “That wasn’t nice at all indeed.” She said.
Bon-Bon frowned, “Well he shouldn’t have questioned my carrots!”
“And you should’ve respected his wishes.” Lyra deadpanned before turning back to her adopted children. “Finish your food, then go wash up and get dressed. Those gi’s of yours are filthy!”
Ken and Kira looked down at their clothes, indeed they were dirty from the sparring, and a tiny bit ragged. Gulping down their third serving of food, they got up and left to get washed and changed. Lyra picking up their plates to clean in the dishes.
Another thirty minutes later, Raze had returned, “Well, I’m ready to go into town!”
Ken and Kira had changed into different clothings, looking cleaned up and ready to go after taking a good bath. Ken had a orange T-shirt and blue pants while his sister wore a purple shirt and a long royal blue skirt. A mint green bow appeared tied around Kira’s tail and a white clip in her hair to hold back some stray bangs.
“Ready!” Ken and Kira both said happily.
Raze nodded in approval, “Alright, now where is the Doctor and Derpy?”
The Doctor happened to be walking through at the moment, “Oh, me and Derpy are staying back here, We figure it’ll be better if we don’t run into our copies like last time.”
“Oh… Well, we’ll see you when we get back!” Raze said to the Doctor who nodded and went back to the backdoor.
“Yes, and I’m sure that you’ll be in for quite the experience.” He said strangely looking to the sky, then closing the back door behind him.
‘Of course we will! We’re going to play with Raze-sensei all day!’ Ken thought in excitement.
’With our friends too! I can’t wait!’ Kira replied joyfully.
“Let’s get going.” Raze said, as he went toward the front door and opened it.
Ken had to get a certain subject out of his mind, it was bugging him.
“Raze-sensei, are you angry at Auntie Bon-Bon?” Ken questioned curiously.
“Not so much anymore…” Raze said to Ken.
Kira pushed the subject away, “Let’s go! Maybe we can meet with our friends later on!” She yelled, her bow tied tail wiggled behind her.
“Then we better get going, so come on!” Raze exclaimed as they finally left the house.
When the three heroes left the house and into the front yard, the first noticeable thing they realised is that the sky looked a bit… Different, like if they were looking through glass toward the sky.
Raze was looking around also, “Does it seem different around here? Normally there are more ponies out during the day…”
“Raze! Lookie!” Kira said, pointing at a group of ponies who looked like they were forced into enslavement. “What’s wrong with them? Is it Discord again?”
“No way! Discord wouldn’t do anything like this! He’s pretty harmless.” Raze said like it was a everything thing!
‘WHAT!’ The Twins shouted mentally together.
“No he’s not! He nearly killed nee-chan!” Ken shouted in objection, the hatred seething in his voice. Discord was the meanest person on the planet! He was really strong and hurt a lot of ponies and most importantly his sister! He doesn’t care of it’s because of Discord he got Super Saiyan, he still hurt Kira! And his family is really, really, really important to him!
“He turned mommy gray and made her fight against us too!” Kira shouted as well, a bit of fear within her own voice. She couldn’t get that evil Discord out of her mind, he almost killed her. Making Ken all alone and almost sending her to whatever is death in this place! And making Lyra all mean and uncaring to them really hit a spot in her heart!
“But Discord never did that when I….” Raze seemed to make an excuse to them.
‘What is Raze-sensei thinking! Discord is super evil!’ Ken thought.
’Yeah!’ His sister was quick to agree.
The twins were still quite angry at Raze for thinking their Discord was a nice guy, but were soon distracted with how another group of ponies past by with grim faces.
Ken seemed curious, and lifted himself up into the air and flew toward the sky to get a better look around the town. Only to hit his head on something like glass. “Owowowo!” Ken shouted as he rubbed his head to ease the pain.
Kira yelled up to her twin, “What you see Ken?!”
Ken called down to Kira and Raze, “There is this glass thing covering all of Ponyville! Maybe everyone is sad cause they are trapped!”
Kira saw Raze smile and say, “Hey, Ken! Come back down! I’ve got an idea!”
Ken floated back down, and landed on the ground. He looked up to his sensei, curious to know what he had planned.
Raze looked at our Twin heroes, “Okay, we’re going to break it! We’ll fire our best attacks at one point in the wall!”
“Okay!” The twins shouted simultaneously.
“So let’s go find the least populated wall…” Raze said while looking around.
“Sensei, why not we just fly up high and hit the wall from each corner there?” Kira questioned.
“Oh… Yeah! We can do that… Good idea, Kira!” Raze said as he flew up to find good enough area between the town and the shield.
’Wonder what kind of attack I should use… ‘ Kira thought to herself, ’Using the same technique as Ken doesn’t really make me feel unique.’
Our two hybrid twins, and their full-blooded sensei, flew up into the air to the midpoint height of the barrier surrounding Ponyville. Facing three corners as like triangle, they charged up each of their individual’s Ki techniques in their attempt to destroy the town’s glass-like cage.
Kira watched with great human curiosity as Raze-sensei held his hands to his sides, charging up two red energy balls. They grew bigger and larger till they came to a stop. He then pushed his hands together causing the energy balls to crush together and become smaller. Then he held his attack above his head as the red light spread out a bit.
’I wanna learn how to do that!’ Kira thought with interest.
“Ready?!” Raze asked them while holding the powerful, and interesting Ki technique in his hands.
Kira snapped back into attention, she’ll use her masenko technique! It’s way faster to charge and still packs a punch!
Kira had her hands to her forehead, a yellow ball of spiking energy forming in front of them. Mumbling the words under her breath as she charged up, “Masenko…”
Ken has chosen to do the most familiar technique of the Z-fighters before him, cupping his hands in front of him and slowly bringing them to his side. “Ka… Me… Ha… Me… “ He said, as a blinding blue light formed within his cupped palms with condensed Ki energy.
Raze started counting when our heroes were ready, “On three! One, Two, and Three! Flash Cannon!” Raze finished, throwing his own attack toward the shield.
“Ha!” Ken and Kira finished their own techniques just a second after Raze launched his own, each heading toward their sides of the barrier.
They collided with the side of the shield and held against it. The barrier pushed back against them, but all three of them held on against the powerful defense mechanism. The twins were too focused in their techniques to see a few tiny cracks forming as the shield continued push back against them.
However without notice, a small red beam of magical energy erupted from the middle of the town toward the top of the barrier. The entirety of the glass-like cage glowed with an aura of red and the damages repaired themselves with breakneck speed.
Ken and Kira struggled in their attempt to break the shield, which continued hold up against all their strength and power. They suddenly sensed Raze’s Ki signature increased drastically, glancing toward him for just a second to see that he had ascended to Super Saiyan form.
“HAH!” With their sensei’s power increase, he was sure to break the shield! Right?
Ken knew he didn’t have the experience nor the training to transform into his own Super Saiyan state while performing a technique. But he did have a substitute for such an occasion!
“Kaio-ken!” Ken shouted out loud, the son of Chris’ Ki spiking to higher levels, filling his veins with more power to throw into his Kamehameha technique.
“D$%# shield!” Raze yelled.
The two twins noticed that their own attacks began to go critical and they exploded against the barrier; their sensei’s attacks followed suit which created a large enough explosion to send all three of the fighters straight into the ground below.
Ken and Kira spiraled out of control,z unable to recovered fast enough to even attempt to slow or prevent their fall. They crashed into each other in mid-air, Ken floating just below Kira as he grimaced that Kira was no doubt going to land on him when they landed.
That, and he was going to land on Raze. Which probably won’t get a good reaction out of their sensei.
Needless to say, dust and dirt were brought up the moment they crash landed on Raze. Who had seemed to form a tiny crater once they had landed on him.
His reaction is pretty much identical to what they had expected him to say.
“Can’t you control yourselves?! I know at this age, I could control where I landed! Sometimes…” Raze trailed off as the smoke started to clear.
Now that got Ken and Kira confused, their sensei could control where he landed? They had no idea they could do that! Only that they could prevent or slow themselves from falling in the first place!
Raze frowned, “Could the both of you at least find time to get up? I know it looks comfortable down here, but I may have gotten a rock stuck somewhere not nice.” He said.
The two Twins got off him immediately, mumbling their apologies to their sensei. They didn’t mean to land on him at all! Honest!
“Sorry, but why couldn’t we break the barrier?” Ken questioned, he was certain they were really close to breaking it!
“Yeah! We should’ve been strong enough.” Kira agreed with him, knowing her brother’s thoughts like the cover of a book. She looked toward Raze, her tail wiggling behind her.
“We almost broke it, but something added power to the barrier.” Raze said while getting up and brushing off stray rock chunks mixed with dust.
“Sensei, there is somepony running over here.” Ken said, pointing toward a pony in the distance rushing to their direction.
Ken and Kira had absolutely no idea who the blue colored approaching pony was, really all they wanted was a nice day of play time with their sensei and their friends! But apparently, bad things just love to happen around them all the time!
“Trixie? What? How is she here?!” Raze questioned the twins.
“Who’s Trixie?” Kira asked.
“Trixie is I!” A blue colored unicorn wearing a black cloak tied around her using a strange Alicorn decorated amulet, proclaimed.
Raze facepalmed, “Here we go…”
“The EVIL AND POWERFUL EMPEROR TRIXIE! Everypony within Trixieville is Trixie’s property! Humans are no exception.” Trixie finished, her eyes flashing red.
‘Evil?’ Ken questioned in his thoughts.
’Powerful?’ ’ Kira did the same.
Raze frowned, “So, nice new thing you got there.” He finished while pointing at the red and silver amulet adorning her torso.
“You clearly do not understand Trixie’s authority over you!” Trixie shouted with supremacy.
Ken and Kira just looked absolutely lost in what to say, glancing toward each other like they were in some sort of fantasy story.
‘What’s going on? This Trixie mare comes out of nowhere!’ Ken asked his sister.
’I don’t know… Did we get sucked into some sort of story? Kira replied.
“Trixie’s authority huh? I remember knocking Trixie around the park for laughs, or saving the world. Something like that… Why don’t you just take down this barrier and we can all return to our lives you power hungry crazy lady.” Raze said, the twin’s paying attention only because they were confused on what was really happening.
“You uncouth barbarian! Trixie shall make an example out of you!” Her voice suddenly increased in volume for all to hear, ponies gathering around her and the three saiyans. “All hear your emperor Trixie! This be the price of mockey to Trixie!”
“Oh, that’s rich. For a second there you almost had me worried, now come along and let’s just end this. No need to make a scene.” Raze said, the twins watching as he started to walk away.
“If you’re so confident, then take Trixie’s spell head on!” She yelled, her own horn started to glow a malicious red and black energy, her eyes glowing crimson.
‘Um… I don’t think Raze-sensei should-’
“Okay, sure. Do your worst and then we’ll take you to the guards.” Raze interrupted Ken’s thoughts, a confident grin plastered on his face, and he put his hands up to his sides.
“Uh sensei… “ Kira said, but she was interrupted by Trixie’s incoming blast.
“Take this!” Trixie yelled, blasting forward a beam of magical energy directly toward Raze.
Ken and Kira eyes widened, and they didn’t dare resist their instincts to dodge as they moved away from Raze’s position. The blast hit Raze and a large red aura spread over his body, lifting him up into the air as it swirled around him.Ken and Kira couldn’t see what happened to Raze by this point due to a blinding light that grew in size. The attack ended abruptly, smoke flying around where Raze’s form had been previously. It cleared away slowly and revealed a small arm and part of a smaller leg.
Ken and Kira walked toward the smoke, curious to know what happened to their sensei and if he was alright, when the rest of the smoke cleared they were in for a shock.
Raze was like them! In fact, he looked quite like Ken now… Except for the obvious hair style, that didn’t change one bit.
“R-Raze-sensei?” Kira said in shock.
“You’re… You’re… “ Ken was lost in his own words.
Raze looked at them curiously, “I’m what?! What am I?!” Raze then put his hands to his mouth. He frantically searched around before laying eyes on the nearest window. He ran up to it and proceeded to yell in objection.
“WHAT?!” He yelled, looking at his hands and body.
“Why am I so small?!” Raze asked nobody in particular.
“Trixie has reduced your age! Now you are a child once again!” She said smugly.
Raze turned to her with an angry look on his face, “Change me back!”
‘Sensei is mad.’ Ken thought.
“Trixie will not, now go and run along child.” She replied as she turned around.
’And Trixie is mean.’ Kira added to their telepathy.
“The grown up Trixie has work to do.” Trixie finished while leaving the scene.
Concerned for their, ever rage increasing, sensei; Ken and Kira rushed to his side, the little girl speaking up first, “Raze-sensei? Are you okay? That spell didn’t hurt you when it made you our age didn’t it?”
Raze shook his head, “No, I’m not in pain, just angry, and confused.”
Ken scratched his head in thought, before exclaiming, “Maybe Twilight can help you!”
“Twilight’s here too? Guess I should have known that… Let’s go to the library!” Raze said with urgency.
“Okay! It’s this way! Follow me!” Ken said, running toward the direction of the library.
“Wait for us!” Kira shouted to her twin, and grasped Raze’s arm before pulling him with her as they headed toward their destination.
They made it to the library in a decent amount of time. Ken had opened the door after knocking several times only to find that nopony seemed to be home.
“Where’s Twilight?” Ken questioned nobody.
Ken looked around, trying to spot some hint or hair of the purple unicorn, but found not one. Well, except that hair strand on the floor, but he was looking for the whole thing.
“Oh… Hey guys.” A voice rang out, causing the Twins to look toward the staircase to see Spike, the baby dragon.
“Spike! Where’s miss Twilight?” Kira asked of the baby dragon.
“Gone… Exiled from Ponyville by Trixie after she lost a magic duel.” Spike said sadly.
Raze suddenly spoke up, “What?! She exiled Twilight? I’m going to hurt her!” He exclaimed in anger.
“Yeah, we can beat her together! Just avoid those age spells! I don’t wanna become a baby!” Ken said. I liked being a kid, and he wanted to grow up naturally! Plus, he didn’t want to be in diapers again. Even if he still had a accident in the bed every rarity and then.
“Hey!” Spike shouted in protest.
“Sorry, no offense Spike!” Ken replied.
“It’s fine.” He said.
“Spike, do you have any idea where Trixie might be ruling the town from?” Raze asked.
“I believe she’s ruling from the town hall. I saw her forcing some of Twilight’s friends to do her dirty work, you should see it easily with all the banners being put up.” Spike informed Raze.
“That’s good! I’ll just Kamehameha her straight to HFIL.” Raze said with a smile.
“HFIL?” Everyone around Raze said in confusion.
“Home For Infinite Losers, Goku told Gohan all about it, he also said something about censors… Oh well, that’s ancient past for ya! Let’s go hurt magicians!” Raze said while running out of the library.
“Wow, there must be some meanies in that home if sensei wants to send Trixie there.” Ken said.
“I’m sure it’s not that bad!” Kira replied.
Ken and Kira noticed they still needed to catch up, and off they went out of the library.
Lyra Heartstrings, adopted mother of Ken and Kira, housemate with Bon-Bon, and lyre extraordinaire. Found herself stampeding into the town hall after noticing that not only was everyone in a depressed and sorrowful state, but a lot of her and Bon-Bon’s customers were trafficking in and out of the town hall building.
One thing she noticed, was a barely familiar Trixie, that pony that game to do a magic show couple months before the twins came in her life. However instead of the proud and boastful figurine, there was a overlord of evil.
Huh, that’s strange, where did the word overlord come from?
“Trixie is wondering when you new cape is to be finished!” Trixie said in authority to Rarity, who was off to the side.
Scratch not proud and boastful, she was more so than before.
“I’m trying my best! Oh, I wish Twilight was here.” Rarity said.
Lyra raised an eyebrow, Twilight was gone?
“Trixie will not allow the mentioning of that failure of a unicorn, or there will be shift punishment!” Trixie yelled.
Lyra narrowed her eyes at Trixie, this has gone on long enough! She might not be as strong as Twilight, but she ain’t the mother of two half saiyan twins for nothing!
“Trixie!” Lyra shouted, drawing Trixie’s attention. “Stop this madness at once!”
“Who dares demands of Trixie?!” She said, looking toward Lyra’s direction. “So another wishes to engage a magic duel? Do you honestly believe yourself more capable than the Evil and Powerful Trixie?”
“Yes I do!” Lyra replied with confidence. Lyra looked around seeing everypony around her, “Everypony get away, this is going to get quite messy!”
Trixie frowned, and stepped down from her high place of superiority. Her horn lit up in magical energies as her eyes and amulet flashed a hue of red.
“Three… “ Trixie started.
“Two… “ Lyra continued, her own horn lighting up with cyan colored magic.
“One! Draw!” They both yelled.
Trixie, the self-proclaimed Evil and Powerful, shot forth a beam of malicious red blackened energy. The beam passed by Lyra as she dodged it, and disintegrated a unlucky table. Trixie continued to shoot beams at Lyra, but every one of them missed their mark.
“Stupefy!” A bright red light came from Lyra’s horn, but Trixie deflected it with a magic sheild. It continued it’s course and hit a bystander, freezing him in place before the earth pony stallion fell to the ground unconscious.
‘Huh… Wonder where I read that spell from… ‘ Lyra thought to herself, but she had no time to recall learning the spell as she rolled to the side to avoid magical arrows that pierced into the floor of her previous position.
“Trixie commands you to stand still!” Trixie demanded of Lyra.
“Like Tartarus I will!” Lyra shouted back, conjuring a couple magical bolts toward Trixie who teleported out of the way to avoid being blasted by them.
“Trixie will show you the true meaning of pain!” Trixie yells as she casts spells left and right.
“Uh huh, you keep talking like that.” Lyra deadpanned, shooting forth her own spells.
“Ugh! You agitate Trixie!”
Suddenly the door entrance blew off its hedges, “I’m here to deck muzzles!” A childish voice rang out.
Everypony in the establishment turned to see the unfamiliar child, they all seemed to have been trying to evacuate the building before he ever got there.
However Lyra and Trixie paid no heed to the child’s sudden entrance, dueling with a variety of magics. Trixie fired a firebolt spell which Lyra dodged, but it passed over to the child and sent the tip of his hair on fire.
The child seemed to notice a strange aroma, “Do you smell burnt hair?”
Ken appeared behind the unknown child, stating, “Sensei, your hair is on fire.”
He looked up once he noticed his hair was indeed on fire.
“AHHHH! My hair is on fire!” The unknown eight year old yelled as he hit the floor.
“Stop, Drop, and Roll!” He yelled while rolling across the floor.
By this time, Lyra snapped her attention to them fully.
“Ken, Kira! What are you doing here?! And where is… Raze?!” Lyra yelled, Raze’s new child form appearance caused her to be distracted. This allowed Trixie to blast her with a magical attack and knock her unconscious against the wall.
Ken and Kira, the twin munchkins, ignored their de-aged sensei completely as they watch their mother be knocked out cold.
“Mommy!” The twins yelled in concern, their Ki levels increasing to their maximum current limitations within a second. Blue Ki auras bursting into existence around them as they charged forward at Trixie in vengeance.
Raze screamed out to them,“She’s mine! Get away!” But the Twins were already too focused to turn away now.
As the Twins approached Trixie to give her one collector’s edition beating, her horn lit up and an crimson magical area wave of energy blasted the twins back, causing them to skid along the tiled ground of the town hall.
Ken, and Kira, rubbed their backs from skidding along the flooring. They got up, glancing toward the direction of the fight that Raze had no commenced with Trixie.
“RAGGGHHH!” Raze had transformed immediately into his Super Saiyan state firing several Ki blasts soon after at Trixie, all of which exploded around her in bright yellow lights.
“You! Human! You’ve ruined Trixie’s cloak!” Trixie yelled out, revealing that she was unharmed but her cloak had been torn in several places.
’Her cloak? She ruined my clothes! My tail bow took forever to put on neatly!’ Kira complained via telepathy, indeed her most precious green tail bow was now torn to shreds.
‘Uh Kira… It’s just clothes, Miss Rarity could always make more.’ Ken raised an eyebrow at his sister, when she become so… girly?
Kira pouted, ‘I know that, but it takes so long to get it on the right way.’
Ken raised his power level, Kira nodded and followed in his wake, her own power level rising. After a moment of mental silence, they looked toward each other.
‘Kamehameha?’ Ken grinned at his sister.
’Kamehameha.’ She grinned right back at him.
With blue auras of Ki energy surrounding them, they stood foot to foot, side to side. Their auras combining into one as they both cupped hands with each other in front of them, sides facing one another and back turned against the outside.
’It’s been a long time since we did a Kamehameha together, Ken!’
‘You said it!’
They brought their hands to the middle of them, an excessive amount of Ki energy pouring into a condensed blue ball that formed within their combined cupped palms. Larger and larger it grew, the light intensifying to the point where every other light around them became like a shadow.
“Twin… Ka… Me… Ha… Me… “ They started to chant together, not one of them going out of tune with the other.
“Ha!” Two twins yelled in unison, their Twin Kamehameha wave launching from their palms. The powerful beam of energy soaring through the air toward its one and only target, Trixie.
Trixie didn’t react nearly as fast and took the attack head on. The blast sent her through the side of the building and blasted for a pretty good distance once outside. Debris were carried with the attack until it died down.
Raze looked at Ken and Kira with a big smile, “NICE ONE! That was really awesome! She’s definitely not getting up from that!”
Ken and Kira’s faces flushed with embarrassment at Raze’s compliment, but muttering a “Thank-you.” toward him. It was one of the first ecstatic compliments they ever received for a combined ‘Twin’ technique.
Lyra twitched before her eyes opened up as she groaned audibly with rejoining the physical world.
Ken, Kira, and Raze, noticed Lyra waking up also, “Hey, Lyra! Did you get to see what they just did?! It was awesome and epic!”
Lyra shook her head, having too much of a splintering headache to say something.
The Twin’s faces fell, a little disappointed that their mother did not see their awesome and epic combined technique, but they brushed it aside, maybe next time!
Ken and Kira sensed Trixie’s approach and faced her position.
Raze also faced Trixie, “Oh, great… You came back, I’m so happy…” He said with obvious sarcasm. “Guess we’ll have to do this again!” He finished saying.
“Trixie did her work… There was only suppose to be two humans! Where you come from? Trixie demands she knows!” She demanded of Raze.
“Ummmm… Well, I… Hmmm... It’s way too complicated to explain, so don’t bother asking?” Raze questioned her.
“Trixie doesn’t care anymore, Trixie knows how to deal with human children now.” She said with a smug look on her face, her horn starting to glow along with her eyes and that strange amulet around her neck.
Raze and the Twins got into fighting poses ready to bring Trixie down at all costs when suddenly Trixie stopped. She looked around and notice that her magic was being influenced by something else.
“Who dares knock upon Trixie’s barrier?!” She turned to the small group that she recognized instantly and smirked.
“Trixie is off to deal with business children, so Trixie will finish this another time!” Trixie’s horn lit up with magical prowess and she teleported out of the place with a crimson burst of magic.
Raze frowned, “That’s not fair…” The super saiyan trailed off.
Ken and Kira closed their eyes, focusing on their sensing abilities to see what had drawn Trixie from them. After a few seconds of sensing virtually half of Ponyville, they discovered a new key player within the town, or more correctly, an old one.
Ken spoke up, “Twilight is in Ponyville again.”
“Yeah, and she’s facing Trixie with her friends.” Kira finished.
They turned their attention toward their adoptive mother, walking up to her in concern, leaving their sensei in the dust.
“Mommy, you okay?” Ken questioned Lyra.
Lyra stretched a foreleg out, “Think so… I little woozy. But are you two alright?”
Kira nodded, “Yeah we’re fine! Through Trixie messed up my tail bow.”
Lyra giggled, “Well we can always buy a new one.”
“Oh, are you feeling okay?” Raze-sensei asked while walking up to stand beside Lyra.
Lyra looked toward the now eight year old Raze, “I don’t know, I’m seeing a child Raze in front of me… “ She said.
Raze smiled, “Yeah… Do you know how to change me back? You looked pretty strong for a unicorn, so… Please change me back?”
“I may be powerful, but I don’t specialize in that kind of magic. Nor do I have the reserves to cast it.” Lyra stated, “Sorry, perhaps Twilight can help you?”
Raze nodded, “Okay… I just don’t want to be like this! It feels so weird! I can’t control my emotions!”
Kira tilted her head in confusion, her tail curling upward. “Why would you want to do that?” The little girl questioned.
“Because being angry and only seeing red is so basic… Saiyans have a tendency to lose themselves.” Raze replied.
Lyra got up from the ground, “Ken and Kira don’t have a problem with that as much… Probably because they are half human.”
There it was, that horrible reminder that Ken and Kira absolutely loathed. They didn’t question the truth of it, nor did they find hatred in their father’s human friends. But it still burned deep within them, those memories of the past. Being half of what their most hated, or at least extremely disliked, only made it feel a bit worse.
But Raze only nodded, he only nodded! He had no idea how bad humans were!
“Probably… Okay, just gotta let Twilight take care of the problem.” Raze said.
Ken and Kira took deep breaths, releasing the tensions of the memories from the past. Ken clutched his head, suddenly having a minor migraine. Kira stared at him with confusion, but a bit of concern in her eyes told him that she cared.
Of course she cared, she’s his sister!
Regaining his composure from that headache, Ken looked for a source of distraction. Seeing a now kid Raze and remembering how they planned to play with their school friends today gave Ken the most perfect question to ask.
“Um, mommy… If Twilight can’t fix the spell… Does this mean Raze-sensei has to go to school with us?” Ken questioned.
Kira had glanced toward Raze, and inwardly giggled at how wide his eyes got, “Haha, very funny. No. I will never go back to school.” Raze said.
Lyra smiled evilly, “Yes, it does.”
Kira’s tail wagged in joy, ’Now Raze just has to play with us and our friends!’
‘Yeah! I can’t wait! It’s going to be so much fun!’ Ken replied.
Journey of Saiyans (Twin Version)
Chapter 11: Schooling through School
Crossover Saga
Chapter 11: Schooling through School
Like every normal week morning, getting up, taking a bath, getting dressed for school, and put on their mint green backpacks is a daily ritual of stuff to do. But being a household of saiyan children, something always seemed to spice things up. Take for example the two twins’ newest sensei, Raze.
Who at the moment is frantically running around the house trying to escape the aspect of going to school in the first place. All the while yelling a sentence along the lines of…
“I’m never going back to school!”
Needless to say, Ken and Kira’s beloved unicorn mother so happened to be professional when regarding the prospect of capturing little saiyan children. And unfortunately for Raze, who had quite an accident involving Trixie, he now fit in that category. Which involved the mother, Lyra Heartstrings, chasing the full-blooded saiyan child around, through, out of the house, and beyond.
Ken and Kira followed by walking in the general direction of the crazed chase scene.
“Raze-sensei is being silly, wonder why he doesn’t like school that much?” Kira questioned.
Ken looked to his sister, “I don’t know, but maybe it has to do with loads of homework! Maybe his school had like… A homework monster!”
“Homework monster?! That seems stupid though, he can just blast it!” Kira stated, her tail curling upward.
“True… “ Ken trailed off, “Maybe… Uh… Mmh… I can’t think of anything else,” he finished.
The two twins senses picked up their mother’s energy signature rising and soon spotted her teleporting to and fro in an effort to catch the elusive Raze. But a much more important, and in their minds needed, object caught the twins’ attention.
A banana stand.
Filled to the brim with bananas.
’Ken, don’t even think of it.’
In a rare moment of rebellion, Ken ignored his father’s words. Ken sneakily tip-toed toward the stand and snatched a few bananas, he couldn’t resist his ever hungering instincts to… Well, eat.
Now normally, the ever authority-obeying figure that was his twin sister would talk against doing such an action.
If she wasn’t doing the same thing.
‘Mom will buy it later.’ Ken reasoned.
Kira nodded, peeling her fruit from the bottom-up, eagerly taking a bite. They then walked away from the stand casually, as if nothing appeared out of the ordinary. The two twins caught up to their mother and Raze, who the latter had been caught by the purple unicorn known as Twilight Sparkle.
The owner of the banana stand so happen to take notice of this, well it wasn’t that hard to see two half human children walking away with his product in their hands. Lyra jumped into the bandwagon as the owner simply raised his hoof to her as she glanced toward the twins.
“You going to pay for those or not?” The owner of the banana stand asked her.
Lyra blinked, still looking at the two twins, “How did you… Nevermind, here.” Lyra then conjured bits from her invisible fur coat pocket and passed it to him.
Raze made himself known quite loudly after this, “You have pockets?! Can I see?!” He yelled.
Lyra turned to Raze, “You shouldn’t be concerned about that! You’re going to school!” She yelled back, determined to get the twin’s now-a-child sensei to school.
Raze’s eyes widened, “Nope!”
But Lyra Heartstrings wasn’t having any of that, and the twins soon looked up into the air toward the magically telekinetic held Raze. At first it was only their adopted mother’s tealish aura, but as Raze resisted it soon was reinforced by a purple one, courtesy of Twilight.
Twilight smiled, “I just noticed you could use some help there, Lyra,” She said.
Raze frowned at Twilight, “You traitor!” He yelled; why he called her traitor completely escaped the Twins.
On their wondrous and adventurous journey toward the construction known as a school building, it looked as if Ken and Kira were as carefree as could be. But what appeared on the outside, does not necessarily speak for the thoughts within. Whether it was real or an hallucination of fear, the magical holding that Raze appeared trapped within looked as a cage to Ken Altarmore-Heartstrings. Even if that cage is conjured by his adopted mother and her friend.
“Oh don’t be so grumpy Raze-sensei! School isn’t bad!” Kira tried to comfort Raze, oblivious of her brother’s current feelings. Through Ken couldn’t fault her, it has been a long time since the bad times.
Raze gave her a look of somewhat pure anger, “Sure, you say that… You’re not the one inside the cage.”
Ken shivered, “Hope you get out of it really soon.” He said, meaning every word of it.
“Well, maybe if you listened to mommy in the first place you wouldn’t be in it?” Kira replied, Ken gulped.
“Sure… That’ll happen…” Raze said with sarcasm the twins didn’t quite pick up.
‘I hope mommy won’t do that to me.’ Ken thought.
’Lyra wouldn’t do that Ken, don’t worry about it.’ Ken’s father, Chris, said in a comforting way.
‘You’re right dad, that’s silly for me to think that!’
Ken and Kira drew their attention away from him, and looked forward at the building ahead. finding their friends, the Cutie Mark Crusaders, surrounded by their parental figures, or older siblings in front of the school building.
’Weren’t we suppose to help skip school?’ Kira telepathically said.
‘Uh, yeah, I completely forgot about that!’ Ken thought in reply.
’Their older siblings and parents look angry at them.’ Kira stated the obvious.
‘Good thing we forgot about it then!’ Ken replied.
The door to the schoolhouse opened wide, revealing their teacher Ms. Cheerilee, one glance at them, the Cutie Mark Crusaders, and Raze was all it took before she turned around and went straight back in.
Ken and Kira turned to their adopted mother, Lyra speaking out, “Now behave at school, and watch Raze to make sure he doesn’t do anything… Unpredictable.” She said to them.
“No problem mommy!” Kira stated.
“Don’t worry mom, nothing could ever possibly go wrong!” Ken exclaimed.
The school bell started ringing, signalling the last ten minutes before it starts. The twins followed their mother, who dragged Raze into school building and dropped him on the floor against his will.
Raze hit the floor with a small groan, but got back up immediately and tried to escape by walking past Lyra and toward the outside, only to see a big group of ponies blocking his way. The Twins watched as Lyra gave one of her sweet motherly smiles towards Raze.
“I thought so.” She said as Raze stuck out his tongue.
Seeing how Raze started walking alone, he clearly, in every sense of the word, invited them to be with him!
And the twins much obliged, did so.
They went up to the full-blooded saiyan, and walk alongside him.
“Don’t worry Raze, it only lasts seven hours! And most of it is fun!” Kira exclaimed.
“Ffffffffffuuuuuuunnnnnnnn…..” Raze dragged ominously.
“Unless we have math class today.” Ken stated.
“Ffffffffuuuuuccccc- “ Raze then spontaneously hit the floor with no apparent reason, as if something hit him from behind.
Like every school day for the two twins, Ken and Kira, fillies and colts alike scrambled about in getting their books and seats. Of course, they stood clear of the top of the chain bully. Or in this case, bullies, of Ponyville Elementary. These bullies were the meanest, bulliest, oddly colored, meanest… They’ll quite mean so they get two meanest… Of the bunch out there!
But when Raze-sensei, unaware of the meanest bunch out there, goes and sits in the chair of she-who-must-not-be-named. It was as if a war was approaching, even if the term ‘war’ was quite loose in their vocabulary.
A strange pink, mane of whitish purple with even whiter streaks within, oh jelly, it’s Diamond Tiara who else could it possibly be?
She walked up with that overly mean attitude, stared at Raze, and said…
“What are you doing in my desk?!”
Ken, Kira, and their friends: Applebloom, Sweetie Bell, and Scootaloo, watched with apprehension as events unfold between their very eyes.
Raze simply looked at Diamond Tiara with a confused glance, “Well? Are you using your eyes? I’m sitting and it’s quite comfortable despite this evil place.”
Raze-sensei had rebelled! Now he was going to be bullied! It was almost too much to bear, but our eight year old heroes and friends could not draw their eyes away!
The bully of Ponyville Elementary arched her eye, “Well? Why don’t you move, Monkey?!” She retorted cruelly.
But Raze looked and leaned toward and over her, “What’d you say, I didn’t catch that.” He replied.
Diamond Tiara came close to his ear, whispering something that was no doubt a word of insult.
But their sensei only sighed! Sighed! He then said, “Okay, well, you can find a new desk and it better be far away from me. If you like you teeth.”
“What do you mean by, If I like my teeth, Monkey?” She continued to mock.
Raze narrowed eyes toward her, replying with words no other pony dare to say to the bane of all schools. “Really? You see this desk? Now look at me! See my hand? Well, I’mma grab your head by the mane and smash it into this desk if you ever say anything to me ever again. Oh, and if I hear the name, Monkey. We’re going to have greater problems that just that.”
With that, Diamond Tiara, bully of Ponyville Elementary, she-who-must-not-be-named, met her match. Raze had identified himself as the top pony of the class, well… Top saiyan, and had driven off the evil that had plagued the school since the dawn of kindergarten.
And also gained lots of admiration from the Twins and their friends, for obvious reasons.
Our little female hybrid, Kira, sought to speak to Raze first. She made her way toward him and started with something she had been wanting to say since they first meet the bullies.
“It’s about time that meanie got what’s coming to her!” Kira exclaimed.
“Well, it’s all in the execution. Literally…” Raze trailed off with a small smile.
“Wow! Can you teach me how to do that to Diamond Tiara?” Kira asked, very eager to have some payback with her own words.
Raze looked at her with a turn of his head, “Uhhhh… It’ll come with time for you.”
Kira pouted, her tail swishing behind her, “Pooey!”
She’ll have to wait till then.. But soon… Soon.
Ken and the Cutie Mark Crusaders came near as well, in awe of Raze’s performance against the pink not-pinkie menace.
They were quiet for a split moment, but Scootaloo broke it with a yell of, “That, Was, Awesome!”
Raze then replied, “Yeah, I’m pretty awesome like that.”
The school bell choose this moment to ring, causing everypony and the Twins to run frantically toward their seats as to not be labeled late upon sight of standing up. Ms. Cheerilee appeared from her personal headquarters, which the Twins thought their to be a special magical item that creates all homework and if destroyed would solve all their problems, and began speaking.
“Alright class, as you all know I’m Ms. Cheerilee, and we have a new student, by the name of Raze Heartstrings.” She looked toward the twin’s sensei, “Would you introduce yourself to the classroom?”
‘Did Cheer-sensei say Raze’s last name as Heartstrings?’ Ken thought.
’Sneaky mommy.’ Kira commented in return.
Raze looked at her, “Fu- I mean sure.”
They classroom filled with children watched anxiously as Raze walked to the front and took the spotlight. Raze took one look at all of them, before distracting himself by looking down to his hands.
Suddenly, Raze blurted out some sort of strange alien language that none of them understood nor caught.
“Iwillhurtallofyouifyouannoyme!”
Cheer-sensei looked at Raze oddly, “What, can you speak a bit slower? We couldn’t hear that.”
“Uhhh… I’m new here and I’ll be learning with you today. Also, I’m Raze…” Raze trailed off.
Cheer-sensei continued to look at him, “Are you sure that’s all you have to say?” She questioned.
“Yes! Thing!” Raze said while walking back to his desk.
‘Raze is acting wierd.’ Ken thought.
’I think Raze-sensei is just being silly!’ Kira replied.
’I pity Raze.’ The twin’s father commented within Ken’s mind.
‘Pity?’
’You’ll learn it later on.’
“Today class we’re going to start with Math.” She exclaimed with too much joy.
School has now gone evil once again.
Math didn’t seem too bad today, the questions were easy. Everyday things got easier, too easier, and while the twins didn’t mind that one bit as it meant less work for them, their father had other thoughts.
Chris Dell, father of the twins and Z-fighter, prided himself in his intellectual mind and held deep respect for those with high intelligence and education. Strange coming from a being who evolved for the purpose of fighting. But there you have it, a saiyan who prided himself in education and schooling.
And while normally Chris is quite tolerable of how different school systems work, now a year of seeing and studying the school teachings of this world made his thought process different.
And by that, he thought the way of teaching was primitive, slow, and seemed to downgrade children in an area of basically saying that adults view children as pretty stupid. Chris knew the ponies didn’t think that at all, but the way of this teaching implies it.
’Now I got to figure out how to give Ken and Kira a more proper education, the rate of progress in the school is too slow for how fast they learn! Too slow for how any child learns.’ He thought to himself.
’Maybe I can tutor them… No, I wouldn’t be able to teach Kira. I need someone who can teach them while being there… Or… Perhaps… Yeah, that could work.”
‘Why is Raze being so, grumpy!’ Ken thought to himself as he grabbed his lunch bag from his backpack. Sure he was at school, but he didn’t have to be so mean and ignoring everyone! With the exception of Diamond Tiara of course, he can be mean to her all he wanted, payback for all those name calling she said to him and his sister!
Yeah sure his mommy would never approve of that thought, but she deserved it!
The lunch bell at range just moments before, and he turned to catch up to his sibling, Raze, and friends. For some strange reason through, Kira had a bigger bag than him, no fair, he’s starving too!
Through, she opened it to give another bag to Raze-sensei, so he let it slide.
Seeing how Raze and Kira weren't over at the table; Ken and the CMC joined them and proceeded to devour whatever contents were contained within their lunches. Which mostly consisted of sandwiches… Lots of sandwiches.
Suddenly, Scootaloo showed a scooter out of nowhere, Kira joining her with the skateboard she had received on their birthday. The two showed competitive grins as they set their vehicles on the ground and shot off into the recess area with laughter in their wake.
Raze decided to speak, “Wow, I never did tha- Are those swings?!” With a sudden joint from his seat, Ken watched as Raze sped off into the playground.
Ken quickly swallowed the last of his remaining food, got from the table, and ran after his now-child sensei. Who he found screaming in the utmost anguish.
“Nooooooo, why Celestia!?” Raze-sensei yelled to clouds above.
Ken placed a hand on Raze’s shoulder, “Yeah, it sucks! Wish there were more swings.” Ken said, seriously why don’t they have more swings? Swings are the best part of the playground!
Raze frowned sadly, “It’s just not fai- Wait a minute! Is that a slide?!”
Raze shot off, faster than Ken could fire a Ki blast, toward the area where the slides resided. Our eight year old boy hero followed speedily behind him, surely with their superior speed they could claim the slides before the… Others… Got… There… Huh…
“This is ridiculous!” Raze yelled, indeed as the slides were already taken right before they had arrived, or at exact time they arrived. Raze groaned, “Why can’t I- Is that- “
But Ken was having none of that, he grasped Raze’s hand and yanked him along with him. Racing toward the jungle gym as fast as his little legs could carry him.
“No time to say, let’s play!” Ken yelled as he pulled the full blooded saiyan with him.
Raze and Ken made it before anything else could happen and were soon climbing to the very top of the jungle gym. Soon they were both hanging by one hand while pulling themselves up on one arm.
“This sure is fun!” Raze said, doing some one arm pull ups.
Ken swayed forward and backward with his right leg hanging from the iron bar, the eight year old hybrid cheered in delight “Wheeee!”
At that moment, Ken had the most fun idea ever! Raze would like it for sure! And no doubt other ponies would join in!
Ken got up, and climbed to the tippy top of the Jungle Gym, he then put his hands to his waist sides, and loudly proclaimed, “I’m king of the Jungle Gym! No one can take over my castle!” He laughed joyfully., taunting everyone to come and just try so that the game would begin!
Raze smiled, and stood alongside Ken, “I’m the commander in chief of Ken’s armed forces!”
Ken’s grin widened with happiness that Raze had joined in.
It was the esteemed Applebloom that roused up the rebellion, “Forward fillies an colts, we shall take ova the Jungle Gym from those bad guys!”
A large group of pony children attacked like a disorganized army against the two child front. They climbed the walls of the jungle gym like medium sized spiders while Raze and Ken set up defenses.
And by defenses they just stood there and waited for the army of ponies to siege them.
Ken waited with barely contained excitement, he could literally burst out in joy, but he knew he would lose if he did! He must defend his fort.
And a fort it was.
The scene changed around him, what is the playground was no more. For all that is, is now something else. The power of a child’s imagination knows no bound, for what might appear as a playground for adults.
Was a giant castle, with walls many meters high. The sky colored in a deep red-orange, and the scent of burning wood in the air. King Ken, clad in mighty powerful cyan hued armor, watched from the top of his walls as the dreaded army of General Applebloom marches against his walls. King Ken could see from atop the mighty siege weapons drawing closer to batter at his gates, and enter his domain.
But he was ready for them.
‘Let them come, my castle is unbeatable!’ King Ken thought to himself.
A tap on his shoulder made Ken turn his head, looking toward his own military leader, Commander Raze. The mighty saiyan had fierce looking armor which covered him head to toe, spikes covering multiple parts of it. Ken heard the stories, stories of how the armor that Raze wore held the power to dragons, gifted to only those who were worthy.
King Ken was glad to have Commander Raze at his side in battle.
“Why are we just standing here?” Raze questioned.
“We are not, channel your inner energy! The battle neigh, for Applebloom’s forces are nearing our walls!” Ken said to him, through what he really said went along the lines of… “We’re going to flick their foreheads to defeat them!”
“I see, then let them come! I will knock them off our walls!” Raze shouted his battlecry. But of course, in reality he was saying “Wouldn’t that cause injury if they fell off though?” in concern for the safety of other ponies.
“Our walls are not that high to divert their ladders.” Ken remarked, one of the many barbaric soldiers of Applebloom climbing up from one of the placed ladders. King Ken channeled strong magic and launched it at the soldier, who stood no chance and fell down below to death.
Raze nodded in approval, “Good casting!” Again, not what he really said, but that’s what Ken heard.
Again and again, King Ken and Commander Raze fought off the soldiers like the ole heroes of legend. Victory seemed sure, the walls still within the claim of Ken’s kingdom. Pride swelled within him, and he openly taunted to Applebloom’s forces.
“You guys can’t win- Wait, wait, wait!” Ken shouted, but it was too late.
Featherweight had arrived, the so called… Chosen One. Has prophesied by the Oracle of Kira, Featherweight charged at King Ken with reckless abandon. The battle long and hard, neither of them giving up, legends were to be told of this fateful duel for eons to come!
But it would not be the great King Ken who won this day, with a (very) lucky blow, Featherweight struck down Ken with a desperate tackle. King Ken breathed his last as he fell plummeting from the very walls he once controlled with Featherweight in tow, the two smashing in the ground and crushed upon the rocks.
The scene changed back to the playground it had been before, with Ken on the dirt ground below the jungle gym, his face holding disbelief.
“Of all the ponies… “ Ken muttered.
Featherweight smiled, “I’m going to be a hoofball player thanks to this!”
“Help! I’m being oppressed!” Ken heard Raze’s voice cry out.
Ken turned to see the last bastion of resistance on his castle fall before the endless waves of ponies bringing Raze down with sheer numbers. The cursed flag of Applebloom’s forces sailing over the jungle gym in victory, and his defeat.
It was at this time that his sister and scootaloo appeared, the former eating a tuna salad sandwich while eyeing curiously the down form of Ken, and the flag waving in the wind. Then the school bell decided to ring to signal the end of recess and lunch.
Ken wanted that sandwich.
Hours passed, and aside from the scenario of Raze questioning something about a thing called English, and also bringing up a silly topic about teeth and dental ponies, nothing out of the originary happened. Why Raze had brought stuff about teeth up, Ken and Kira would never know.
But the end of the school day finally has arrived, the students within the school anxiously watching the clock for when the hands tick three.
And as it was said, so it was.
The school bell rang loud and clear, children around him cheered and rushed out of their desks to their school bags to pick them up and leave to enjoy the day without being trapped in a building for hours on end. The two twins instantly shot toward their bags, place them on themselves, ready to go.
“Finally!” Raze exclaimed.
“No homework too!” Ken cheerfully said.
“Yep! Now we can play right away!” Kira said.
Raze nodded, “Sure, but I gotta find my capsule case.”
“Oh, I think I left that on the toy chest!” Kira replied, her tail wagging behind her.
Raze smiled, “Alright! Let’s get back there!”
Raze ran out the classroom closely followed by the Twins. They made it to the front area where Lyra was just trotting in. “Hey you three, ready to go home?” She said to them.
The two twin munchkins replied in unison, “Yes mommy!” Smiles upon their cute little faces.
“Uhh… Yeah, sure.” Raze said.
“That’s good to know my little bottomless pits of hunger!” Lyra commented.
The two twins gave sheepish smiles, on cue their stomachs began to growl.
‘Hehe, we’re hungry.’ Ken thought.
’I could eat a hundred sandwiches!’
“Alright, we can go eat out… But no reordering more than three times!” Lyra said the rule.
“Yay!” The Twins cheered in joy, they were going to get food!
“I can do that… “ Raze trailed off.
Now if only Raze can stop being a grump!
Journeying to the restaurant Lyra had in mind, she fully expected the twins to obey her. What she had expected was for Raze and her two adopted children to team up, and somehow persuade her to serve them a fourth helping!
Her poor, poor bit carrier, empty once again.
Raze smiled while patting his stomach, “I can’t believe we got her to give us a fourth helping!”
Lyra’s eye twitched, he was saying that right in front of her.
“I know, my stomach is very happy!” Ken exclaimed in joy, “I was scared it was gonna eat me earlier!”
Oh come on! Ken’s her own son and he’s agreeing! Raze is corrupting her children!
“Um, I don’t think we should’ve eaten so much… “ Kira trailed off.
Well, at least she still has Kira. But she has to find a way to bring Ken back to her side! Eventually...
Lyra stared at Raze with a frown on her face, and glanced down once more at her bit carrier… Empty… Again.
“You think they would give me super child care funding.” Lyra said.
Raze smiled, “Taxes, what I don’t have to deal with at the moment…” He mentioned off hand.
Lyra’s frown went down another mile, “Hope that comes back around at you.”
Raze smiled a bit wider, “Jee thanks, Mom!” He said with a now innocent look on his face.
“Mom?” Ken asked, a little hopeful for a new sibling.
“Are you our new brother now?” Kira asked as she tilted her head, that would be awesome!
“Nah, I was just playing around. She’s way too old to be my Mom.” Raze said while point his hands behind his head while walking. And crushing the hopes of the twins simultaneously.
“Twenty two years old, and that’s old for saiyans?” Lyra questioned with some worry, not wanting to outlive her children.
“Well, technically we Saiyans tend to keep our youth a lot longer in preparation for fighting. But since Ken and Kira seem to be half human, they don’t have quite the same perks.” Raze replied.
“So, it’s safe to assume saiyans live quite long?”
“Yep, as long we don’t get maimed, ripped apart, stabbed, beaten to death, or just killed in general.” Raze said while listing off points with his fingers.
*THUNK*
Raze arched an eyebrow as a passerby pony fainted on the spot near their proximity.
“Okay…” Raze trailed off with a slight bit of worry.
“That’s… Nevermind.” Lyra finished.
Inwardly, Lyra was a bit horrified. Yeah sure, she was glad Ken and Kira can live longer than her, after all no parent wants to see their child die before they do, but he just listed all the ways saiyans usually die?!
One thing for sure, she’ll do her best to keep that from ever happening to her twins! Then again, she was doing that anyway, but now, with more purpose!
Kira Altarmore-Heartstrings was very nervous, sure she knew that if Raze would agree she’ll get a lot stronger! But what if he says no? What if she’s not good enough? What if it was because she was a girl? Well that would be mean for that reason, but still!
’I will be brave, Raze is sure to say yes! I know it!’ Kira thought to herself in a attempt to improve her confidence.
She walked next to the full blooded saiyan, who looked at her with curiosity. Kira opened her mouth slightly to begin what she wanted to ask, but her muscles tensed, her tail curled around her left, and she started to sweat a bit. She gave up.
’No, I can’t, I just can’t! He’ll say noooo! Go away Kira, I’ll only train you with Ken!’
Kira followed her family and Raze quietly, closer and closer they neared the house. And more and more Kira grew nervous and ashamed at the same time.
’Come on Kira! You gottsa be brave! You gottsa be brave!’ She reached out for Raze’s shirt, but then retracted her arm.
’I can’t, no I can! No I can’t! Ugh this is so hard!’ She pouted, her tail wiggling behind her in agitation.
They were closer to being home, if she didn’t do something, then she’ll never ever get what she wants to ask!
Lyra entered first. Kira’s heartbeat increased.
Ken followed; her legs started shaking.
It was now or never.
Right before Raze entered the house, Kira gathered up all her courage and went for it. She pulled on Raze’s shirt, effectively gaining his attention.
“Um… Raze-sensei…” Kira trailed off, now what was she suppose to say! She didn’t want to sound like a stupid head!
Raze turned around, facing her, “What is it?” He said, causing Kira to gulp.
“Well, I was… Well… Um… “ Kira continued to sputter on her wording, inwardly beating herself for her stupid, dumb replies!
Raze frowned, “Is something wrong?!” He exclaims at her, causing Kira to reply in earnest with a quick jumble of words.
“Iwanttobetrainedharder!” Kira exclaimed quickly, her tail twitched in anxiety.
A breeze blew by with the eerie silence in the air, Raze scratched his head and said to Kira, “Uhh… Didn’t quite catch that… “
“It’s just that… I feel so protected, and I don’t want to be that! I want to protect, not always be protected every single time!” Kira says sincerely. “And because of that, I just feel so useless!”
Raze looked at the ground and then back up at Kira, “So, you feel that you need to get stronger… Do you think that you can take the extra training, because I’m not pulling any punches in this. You’re going to go a lot higher in gravity than you’ve ever been before. Do you still think that it sounds ideal?” Raze asked her.
Kira had to pause to fully comprehend what Raze had said, she would be trained. But it was like, super hard training, and it was going to hurt. But she knew that if she did this, she would be as strong as her twin! Maybe even get super saiyan one that so that she can protect him, mommy, Bon-bon, and her friends better than ever before!
“Yes! I can do it! I’ll get my homework done early and everything so we can train!” Kira replied, determined to get stronger.
“Well, I still have to train you both anyway, but you’ll get a lot more than your brother. Who knows, it could come in handy during a huge situation.” Raze said to Kira who was now wagging her tail in excitement.
“Great! And maybe I can be stronger than him too!” Kira exclaimed with a large smile upon her face.
“Definitely! Though, it’s going to take a while to reach Super Saiyan for you. I hope you do eventually reach that level! It should be pretty epic!” Raze said.
“I don’t know, daddy had said that he doesn’t know if girls can become Super Saiyan.” Kira voiced her concern.
“Well, your Dad don’t know anything. There have been plenty of female super saiyans all over! There just weren’t any in my galaxy…” Raze replied to her,
“My daddy knows lots of things, and I bet he could beat you easily!” Kira retorted.
“Maybe right now he can! But I’ll defeat him eventually!” Raze said with conviction.
“You’re silly, you can’t even fight daddy with him in nii-san.” Kira said, before turning and walking into the house, tail wagging behind her. Raze was so silly, that was kinda dumb for him to think that! How would her dad ever get out of her brother anyway? That’s like, impossible! It’s not like there is some super magic thingy for it!
And so, our little female hybrid entered the house and skipped up the stairs with joy. She couldn’t wait for when they started training!
’Hmm, now that I think about it… I wonder what that doctor pony is doing all the time? He’s so weird with all the stuff he talks about!’
It was at this moment, that Kira noticed her twin staring at her.
“Uh… Hiya Ken!” Kira smiled.
“You okay? You were staring at the wall for like, forever!” Ken said.
“Yes! I’m fine! Um, what you wanna do?” Kira said, quickly changing the subject.
“Play of course, but the question is… What?”
“... “
“...”
“Toys?”
“Okay!”
And so, they went to play toys before falling to sleep in their beds hours later; Raze joining them eventually in his makeshift bed.
Journey of Saiyans (Twin Version)
Chapter 10: Cutie Twin Razing Crusaders
Crossover Saga
Chapter 10: Cutie Twin Razing Crusaders
The twin munchkins, Ken and Kira, were having a quite okay day. Sure they didn’t notice that Raze was probably absolutely fuming over how he hated being a child, and how carrots are brainwashing vegetables of doom and horror made real. But they were having an okay day, they trained with Raze-sensei, got the Frost Tarts, had a good lunch, somewhat defeated Trixie, and even managed to guide him near the Cutie Mark Crusader Tree House Headquarters!
They meet up with their pony friends, and after some… Political hardworking debate, decided that Raze would help them earn the Crusader’s cutie marks! It was bound to be fun! No question about it!
“Come on Raze, it’ll be fun! You can help us get Applebloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Bell’s cutie marks!” Kira cheered happily.
“Yeah huh!” Ken agreed.
And it looks like there was no possible way he could ever decline!
“Nah, I don’t feel like it…” He then proceeded to walk away.
Ugh! if only Raze-sensei could stop being so stubborn!
Ken and Kira pouted adorably, and so they glanced toward the CMC and somehow wordlessly got a message across to proceed using heavy artillery rounds to persuade Raze.
They launched the evolutionary biological weapon of the Puppy Dog Eyes. Both the Twins and the Cutie Mark Crusaders firing round after round of large cuddly eyes and cute body expressions.
“Puh-lease! Help Us!” Applebloom asked as ‘persuasively’ as possible.
“Come on Raze! It’ll be fun!” Kira said, pushing forward Puppy Dog Eyes technique times two.
But strangely, Raze seemed to have spontaneously grown an immunity to their powerful technique, “No, I will not be solicited for the use of children. I’m a dangerous fighting machine that happens to be small at the moment.”
“Well, you’re also a kid like us! So get used to it buster!” Scootaloo exclaimed. The others nodded in agreement, it was a perfectly logical exclamation.
“I’m not getting used to anything, you’re just trying to make me acknowledge something that will probably not last long. So, the answer is no!” Raze said, continuing to walk away from them.
Ken had to persuade him somehow! So he took a risk and said, “I guess he’s too weak to help us.”
Raze’s eyes narrowed, “You know, I can now hit other kids without fear of other ponies.”
Kira replied, “Yeah, but then you’ll be labeled as a bully. And Ponyville doesn’t like bullies.” She smiled, a little prideful of her comeback.
“You know what? You should respect other people when they say no.” Raze said.
Ken and Kira pouted, along with the CMC. He was just so stubborn! Maybe they could get their cutie marks in breaking stubborn people… Nah!
’Mmh… Oh!’ Kira suddenly had an idea.
‘Yeah?’ Ken telepathically questioned with curiosity.
’We only got to win a battle of wits! Raze can’t beat us! We’re the smartest in our school!”
‘What about that multiply thingy he told us about earlier?’ Ken replied.
’He probably made that up! I never heard of it before anywhere in Equestria!’
‘Um… ‘ Ken trailed off in his mind.
’Why are you the one questioning now? You never question me, that’s usually my job to you!’ Kira telepathically yelled.
‘Hey!’
’Why don’t you just mention the Bon-Bon incident?’ The voice of Chris made itself known in Ken’s mind, but it seemed like he was only paying half-attention to what was going on.
‘Alright, one witty saying coming right up!’ Ken proclaimed to both of them.
“Why should we respect your choice, when you don’t respect Auntie Bon-Bon when she cooks something for you in the first place?” Ken said, inwardly prideful of himself. They’ll get Raze-sensei back in no time!
“But Bon-Bon said that she had been rude to me while not respecting my hatred for carrots!” Raze came back with at Ken.
’OBJECTION!’
Kira responded, “But you were even meaner, you kept calling carrots evil and disgusting, as well as tell that it brainwashed me. Wouldn’t that not only hurt her cause it would be hurting me, but also mock her cooking when she tried so hard to make it?”
Raze looked stumped, they had surely won now! They high fived each other, grinning widely in joy with Kira’s tail wagging behind her in her happiness. And turned around and faced the ground in a small circle.
“Did you win? He’s going to help us?” Sweetie Bell questioned.
“Think so!” Kira replied joyfully.
“I don’t think he gonna give up that easily.” Applebloom stated.
Kira frowned, “Oh, why not?” He said.
“Cause he looks like he’s figurin out a comeback.” Applebloom said, pointing at Raze.
“What we gonna do? We have to persuade him permanently!” Scootaloo said.
“Mmmmh… “ They all thought in unison, closing their eyes to somehow think better.
“Maybe my sister’s rope?” Applebloom suggested.
“Nah, Raze-sensei would break that easily.” Ken replied.
“Oh! Tickling! I always see ponies give up when faced with tickling!” Scootaloo cheered.
“Alright then! Operation Raze Joins Us is a go!” Ken whispered, the whole group ready to finally convince Raze once and for all to join them in crusading for Cutie Marks! They turned toward Raze, their eyes filled with determination.
“Prepare yourself, Raze!” Sweetie Bell started.
“For the most… “ Scootaloo continued.
“Persuasive technique… “ Applebloom added.
“Ever!” Ken yelled.
“Created!” Kira finished.
All five of the Cutie Mark Crusader members jumped right on Raze. They had the element of surpise stopping any chance of Raze reacting as he began to laugh out loud from their barrage of tickling powers. The Cutie Mark Crusaders showed no mercy in their all out tickling technique.
“The Tickle Torture!” They all yelled.
Raze continued laughing, they were sure that he was giving in! It was only a matter of time! In fact he was laughing so hard that tears were flowing down his face, a sure sign of their inevitable victory!
“You give up, Raze?” Kira asked as she continued tickling, she was enjoying this, her tail wagging side to side.
“NEVER!” Raze suddenly began to heighten his power and the ponies alongside the Twins began to float a bit.
“Whoa, human magic?” Scootaloo said.
“It’s that Ki stuff!” Applebloom exclaimed.
“Come on girls, we can’t let him win yet! Increase the efforts!” Kira commanded.
They grasped hold of Raze’s clothing before they floated out of reach, and used their legs as anchors before continuing to tickle. Raze’s laughter continued to heighten, giving hope to their hearts of Raze finally giving up and playing with them.
“Come on sensei! We just want you to play with us!” Ken said.
“I ha- have plans! I hav- have to escape! SCHOOL!” Raze yelled as his power increased mightily again.
Raze’s power increase and sudden burst of Ki had lifted them all two feet into the air, the Cutie Mark Crusaders. The Twins had let go of him at that point, having been caught by surprise, but Raze had still not turned over completely.
“You don’t even have to worry about school till monday!” Ken shouted while flying up to try and catch him.
“I want to be prepared!” Raze said as the CMC looked at him with arched eyebrows.
“Yer just worried about school?” Applebloom asked him.
“Yes, I’ve already been to school! I don’t want nor shouldn’t have to go back!” Raze said with defiance.
The CMC actually stopped their tickling to think, when Sweetie Bell said. “Well, if your parents aren’t here, or guardian, who says you have to?”
“Lyra does! She thinks that she can make me go, but I don’t wanna!” Raze childishly whined at them.
“That sucks!” Scootaloo said.
“You’re right about that! There’s just no way for me, a person that can fly could possibly escape her! I’m going to be forced into learning! AGAIN!” Raze yelled to the sky.
The Cutie Mark Crusaders got off Raze, and huddled into a group with Ken and Kira, starting the whisper conversation with quickened words.
“Maybe if we help him, he’ll play with us?” Ken suggested.
“But Ken, isn’t it bad if we ditch school?” Kira questioned.
“Hey, as long as we don’t get caught we are fine.” Scootaloo said.
“Alrighty then, let’s finish this!” Applebloom yelled in a whisper.
“Cutie Mark Crusaders School Ditchers! Go!” They all yelled. They were finally ready! At least they would not only help Raze, but by helping him they would defeat the stubbornness within him and make him find their cutie marks! Or smash apples trying!
“What? Wouldn’t that make you all get in trouble or something?” Raze asked them all.
“It ain’t gettin in trouble if nobody figures us out!” Applebloom stated.
Kira then said, “And if we convince Cheer-sensei with a good reason why we aren’t at school, we’ll be home free!” She finished, her tail wagging behind her.
’Yep! That’s why I’m the smartest student in my class! I always come up with good ideas!’
‘Kira, I’m usually the one coming up with ideas… ‘ Ken replied telepathically.
’Well your ideas always get us in trouble… Most of the time.’ Kira retorted.
‘.... Huh… Did we thought switch sometime ago?’ Ken seemed to question himself.
“You know, I didn’t take any of you as being deceptive…” Raze seemed to say to himself.
“Hey, we can so be deceptive!” Ken exclaimed.
Even if he barely knew what the word ‘deceptive’ actually meant at all.
Kira looked toward him, “When we’re not too busy being chased by Applejack-” She was interrupted by Ken placing his hand over her mouth.
“As I was saying, we’ll help you Raze-sensei!” Ken finished, Kira trying to take his hand off her mouth.
“You’re going to help me? Okay, let’s just say that you actually manage to look Lyra in the face once we get home from skipping monday, will you be able to lie about your day?” Raze asked the Twins.
Ken waved him off, “Don’t worry! Mommy usually only asks how our day was! We will just respond with, It was good!” Ken replied with complete confidence.
They watched as Raze began thinking, and then he seemed to zone out completely. In fact, it looked very familiar to when Ken talked to his father, not that the ponies of the five CMC members knew that. But they did knew Ken did zone out the same way!
‘Wonder what Raze is thinking?’ Ken thought.
’I don’t know, maybe Raze-sensei has some sort of mystery being in him? Kira thought in return, doing a mental giggle.
‘Very funny, daddy is not some sort of mystery being!’ He replied.
’I didn’t say that silly! Of course daddy isn’t like that! Oh, you don’t get it.’ The twin sister sighed.
Finally, it appeared Raze had finished his zone out and thinking session.
“Okay, I guess that I can help you on a scheme or whatever you needed.” Raze said to them all.
Sweetie Bell tilted her head, “You sure tend to zone out like Ken at times.” She voiced her thoughts.
“And you sure like to point out the obvious… I’ll call you a Dictionary.” Raze said to her.
Scootaloo burst out in laughter, “I called her the same thing!”
“Really? Small world… Alright, what was your cult’s plan for the day?” Raze asked them.
That got the group thinking, each making their own little thinking motion. Crossed arms, hooves on chin, wiggling tail, you name it, they were doing it.
After a small amount of time, they all came to the same conclusion.
“We don’t know.” They all said in unison.
Ken scratched his head, “We were too busy trying to get you to play with us that we totally forgot to make plans for the day!”
Raze rubbed his head, “How about the park or something, I never did get to go there and my curiosity seems to be affecting me a lot more than usual…”
Sweetie Bell head shot up, “Didn’t we say yesterday that we were going to build a catapult?”
Scootaloo looked to her, “And launch us toward Rainbow Dash’s home?”
Raze looked up at the clouds, “Couldn’t you just ask us to fly you there? I’m pretty sure it’ll be safer.”
“Yeah, but asking ain’t gonna get us our Cutie Marks! It never works!” Applebloom said.
“Okay, Cutie Marks… What is that? Is it like the tattoos on everypony’s butt I see or something?” Raze asked them.
“You too? And we thought Ken and Kira were the only ones not knowing about Cutie Marks.” Scootaloo said.
Sweetie Bell spoke up next, “It’s not a tattoo, it’s a symbol which tells you your special talent! Everypony gets one! Unless you're one of those crazy fictional characters that turn into a pony or something.”
Ken and Kira pouted, they were still trying to figure out if humans could get cutie marks in Equestria. It would be kinda cool to figure out their special talent! That way they know what they're good at! Through… Kinda hard to figure it out, they are good at a lot of things… Maybe fighting? Eating? Reading?
“Hmmm… So it’s not a tattoo then? Awww… I was going to call Lyra, Harp-Butt…” Raze said while kicking a rock that was sent flying through the trees.
Kira giggled, “I don’t think mommy would like that name very much.” The little girl said.
“But it was going to be funny…” Raze trailed off with a small frown.
“Maybe you could’ve called Auntie Bon-Bon, Candy-rear.” Ken said.
“Actually, I would have called her, Candy A-” Suddenly Raze fell forward, as if someone hit him from behind. Ken and Kira tilted their heads in confusion, looking around to spot anyone, but saw no one nor pony.
‘Weird, why Raze fall like that?’ Ken thought.
’No clue… Um, maybe he got a stomach ache and it made him fall forward?’ Kira replied.
They watch as Raze grumbled, pushing himself up and removing some dirt that got in his mouth.
“That was strange, it looked like somepony hit you, yet nopony was there.” Sweetie Bell said.
“You okay Raze?” Kira asked her sensei with concern.
“Ummm… I’m alright.” Raze replied.
Raze shook his head, “Well, I guess we can build a catapult, if you all feel like doing that.”
The CMC and the Twins grinned happily, they were finally going to play together with Raze. Oh how they waited for this moment to come into fulfillment!
“Wow Applebloom, you sure amaze me with how you even build all this!” Kira complimented.
“Oh thanks… “ Applebloom said in embarrassment.
A giant wooden catapult stood clear as day, wiring and wheels, and a long extension of rope leading all the way back to the group stood before them.
“Turn it toward Dash’s place!” Scootaloo commanded.
Ken turned the catapult clockwise, it’s aim pointing toward the cloud home in the sky. He wondered what was going to happen. His curiosity making his imagination think of many possible ways on what could happen. Maybe they will all land on the clouds… Ken wondered what they felt like.
Raze looked at the group while twiddling his fingers, “Maybe we should reconsider this? Anyone or pony think so?”
“No game, no gain!” Scootaloo said to Raze. Ken agreed, what’s the fun in reconsidering something? There is none! Play time is nigh!
“I thought that was, “No Pain, No Game”?” Raze said while turning back to her.
“No idea where you got that crazy version of it, it’s definitely no game, no gain!” Scootaloo replied.
“Who goes first?” Ken asked.
“Um… Maybe Raze is right?” Kira said with concern, having second thoughts about all of this.
“No worries nee-chan, the landing spot is all clouds!” Ken replied. What could possibly go wrong?
Scootaloo smiled at Ken, her eyes seeming to enlarge themselves, “See? He get’s it! Who’s going first?”
“I thought Scootaloo was volunteering to go first, right? No game, no gain, right?” Raze asked Scootaloo.
Scootaloo slightly shifted, but regained her composure, “Yeah, no problem!”
Raze smirked, “I’ll launch you then, come on!”
Scootaloo hesitantly jumped on the launcher, “R-ready to go!” She yelled.
Raze ran up to the turning device, “Alright!” Raze began turning it back at a fast past until the holder was nearly against the platform it sat upon. Ken and Kira looked to the catupult, one brother curious, and the sister having concern for Scootaloo’s wellbeing.
“Any last words?” Raze asked her.
“I-I t-think I’m h-having second thoughts!” Scootaloo said shakily as Raze could only continue his large smile.
Ken and Kira watched as Raze grabbed the rope that held the launcher of the catapult down, suddenly the rope began to burn before snapping bit by bit, whittling away slowly before it completely snapped outright.
Scootaloo blasted up while screaming as loudly as she possibly could through the sky. The Twins watched with squinting eyes, and a twitching tail. As Scootaloo was sent flying into the air, screaming. Suddenly an shiver went down their spines as they discovered Scootaloo had flew right past the cloud home of Rainbow Dash.
Thankfully, Rainbow Dash seemed to have seen Scootaloo flying by, and gave chase to catch the little crusader.
“We’re all dead…” they heard Raze say
Raze turned to Ken, pointing at him.“You did it, Ken!” He yelled.
“What?! No I didn’t it was… Sweetie Bell’s idea!” Ken said, pointing toward said filly.
“Huh! No! It was Applebloom’s!” Sweetie yelled.
“Nu uh! Kira! It was Kira’s!” Applebloom shouted.
“B-but! Uh… I’m sorry?” Kira apologized with complete confusion in her tone of voice, tail curling up.
’I didn’t even do anything… Did I?’
“Shouldn’t we be making sure she’s okay?” Sweetie Bell questioned.
“Oh, yeah! Almost forgot about that!” Ken said out loud.
Raze frowned, “She’s okay… Rainbow Dash is already here…”
The twins looked toward Rainbow Dash, who was holding onto a certainly scared Scootaloo. A big frown planted on Rainbow’s face as with, it didn’t take a genius to know that she was really angry. Yeah, the Twins knew that they were in trouble.
They were already seeing the image of mommy Lyra in their heads.
Applebloom, Sweetie Bell, Raze, and Ken all pointed to Kira. Placing the blame on the little hybrid girl who waved her arms about in front of her in a crude attempt to block the invisible beams of blame aimed at her.
’Wha… Huh… But I… ‘ Kira thought, she sighed, slumping her shoulders.
“Sorry Scootaloo… “ Kira said in a defeated tone, her tail limp against her back legs.
Rainbow Dash sighed audibly, “It was all of your faults, wasn’t it?” She said with a bit of irritation laced in her voice.
‘Um… Now I feel bad. I’m sorry Kira.’ Ken telepathically said to his sister.
’It’s… Okay.’ Kira replied.
‘I don’t-’
“SHUT-UP!” Raze suddenly shouted.
Ken and Kira jumped up slightly in surprise at Raze’s sudden outburst. What happened? What was going on?
Raze had put his hands over his mouth, as if he said it on accident.
“Looks like I found the culprit leader.” Rainbow Dash said, looking right at Raze.
Raze’s eyes narrowed at her, “Whatever! You couldn’t catch me anyway!”
Ken, Kira, Sweetie Bell, and Applebloom slowly began to back away from Raze and Rainbow Dash, they knew that this was going to go south. They could practically feel it in their souls, well, not really, but that’s how much they felt it was going to happen!
Rainbow smirked while putting down Scootaloo, “Oh, really? What makes you think that I can’t catch you?”
“Well, I already beat you once! So twice shouldn’t be that hard!” Raze said with smirk on his face too. Ken and Kira were confused, when did Raze race Rainbow Dash?
“You haven’t beaten me! I haven’t even met you before! In fact, how did you enter Ponyville without anypony knowing?! Are you a spy?!” Rainbow Dash asked while pointing accusingly at him with her hoof.
Raze frowned, “Huh… I didn’t think you were that smart… Oh well… See ya later!” He sped off in a burst of red light leaving Rainbow Dash in a cloud of dust.
Ken and Kira coughed, waving off the dust particles in the air that had come up around them.
Rainbow Dash also coughed and then blew away that dust with her wings, “Get back here you tyke!” She then sped off in hot pursuit of the twin’s sensei.
“Wow… There they go.” Sweetie Bell said, looking at the speeding dots in the sky that went further and further away.
Scootaloo looked around noticing that Ken wasn’t there, along with Kira, “And apparently they went too…”
Ken and Kira flew into the air, and sensed their sensei’s Ki signature heading toward the place they knew as Ghastly Gorge. They were curious, having never gone to such a place. Then again, when you have a strict mother who’s practically got a leash…. Kind hoof, on your shoulder. It’s pretty hard to get out of Ponyville unnoticed.
And that’s not counting the fact that they can be recognized literally anywhere.
Cause you know… Only two ‘humans’ on the planet.
Auras of blue enveloped Ken and Kira’s figures, and the Twins burst away toward Ghastly Gorge, not only to catch up with their sensei, but mostly for the fact they wanted to explore the place. They flew away from Ponyville, entering the wilderness area and into the invisible borders of the Gorge. In the distance, their saiyan enhanced eyesight could spot Raze and Rainbow Dash doing a strange sort of race.
They began to look around.
“Hey sis, look at those black purple rock things in that ravine!” Ken said out loud, pointing to the direction of a ravine.
“Huh?” Kira questioned, looking down toward the area her brother was pointing too. “Ooh, I wonder if they have some sort of treasure in them!” She grew too excited to really pay attention to any sort of saiyan instinct. Her human emotions getting the better of her.
“Let’s check it out then!” Ken said, flying down with his sister following behind him as they lowered themselves into the ravine and closer to the mysterious black purplish rocks.
Kira landed on one of rocks, and bent down, her head looking into the hole within. “I don’t see anything shiny Ken! Just lots of darkness!” She yelled.
“Mmh, maybe if we had some light?” Ken questioned as he sat on a rock across from Kira and watched her look into the hole
Kira dropped down into the mouth of the hole, her tail wagging behind her as her hand reached toward the base of her neck. She pulled out from her shirt a crystal, and gave a soft tap to it.
The effect was immediate.
A light shined brightly from the crystal necklace around Kira’s neck, shooing away the darkness of the hole only for Kira’s eyes to widen in shock and a large giant red eel to shoot forward and swallow her whole.
“Kira!” Ken yelled in fear and concern a aura surrounding him in a moment’s notice.
The Great Red Eel seem to smile like it had a nice delicious snack, until said snack began to punch its mouth from the inside out, making huge blobs of skin stretch out with every blow comedically. Finally it stopped and the Eel believed its prey had met its end.
Only for steam to rise from it’s nose and a burning sensation to fill its mouth before it died in a agonizing yet quick death of having its entire front snout obliterated in the blue wave of a Kamehameha technique.
Kira flew right out of the now corpse eel, saliva covering her head to toe.
“Eww! It’s all over my clothes, hair, and even my tail!” Kira complained as she flicked off a bit of the liquid from her hands.
Ken laughed before he calmed down and said, “You worried me nee-chan, I was scared you got eaten for a moment! But then you blasts his face off with a Kamehameha and the first then you say is how icky you are!”
Kira pouted cutely, “Hey! It’s very icky okay! And sticky, and stinky too!” Kira shouted..
Ken held his nose with his hands, “Yeah, that stuff is stinky! You should go wash up real fast!”
The little girl threw a few saliva drops at Ken, who yelped in surprise and joyfulness at trying to avoid the liquid drops. They flew up, and spotting a river, Kira quickly flew to it and dived right in.
After a full thirty seconds of not seeing his sister rise from the water, he finally spotted Kira’s wet moppy hair come up before she surfaced, gasping for intakes of oxygen. And she swam to the shore, shivering a bit from the wind’s contact with her wet clothes and skin.
Ken giggled a bit, "Nee-chan, just power up and dry yourself already!”
Kira blinked, “Oh yeah! I totally forgot we could do that!” Kira stood up, and a aura of Ki surrounded her before she flew into the air and spun around. Water droplets falling down from her like rain before she was as dry as ever before.
Flying up to his sister, Ken then said. “Now what?”
She looked to him, “Well no more big worm things that’s for sure!” Kira exclaimed.
The little boy agreed with a nod and a smile, “Well how about-”
Suddenly Kira screamed, “Raze slow down!”
Ken turned his head, and the first thing that came out his mouth was. “Oh, this is gonna hurt!”
A speeding Raze came right toward them like a roaring torpedo, not that they knew what a torpedo was, but they attempted to get out of the way. Unfortunately being surprised and you being the one not moving at first and the other going super speed doesn’t give you much, if at any, time to move out of the way.
Raze smashed into Kira first which she then smashed into Ken causing a big chain reaction ending with them all hitting the floor of the gorge. Rocks and dust were kicked into the air from the impact. Raze had received the softest landing thanks to both of the Twins.
The voice of Raze spoke out, “Heyeyey, youuuuu twoooo alllllriiiight?”
Ken was seeing seven dragon balls rotating above his head, “Woooow… When did Equestria get dragon balls?” He muttered.
“So many Razeys…” Kira groaned, her tail limp on the ground as she saw twenty one clones of Raze standing about.
“Yep, you’re both fine, now where is that annoying rainbow colored catastrophe?” Raze asked out loud.
Ken shook off his minor concussion, healed by his father, and stood back up. “What you say, Raze-sensei?” He asked, looking at the equal heightened Super Saiyan Raze.
Raze frowned as concern began to rear it’s ugly head, “Okay, maybe you’re both not as good off as I thought… How many fingers am I holding up?” Raze held up three and a two half fingers, wait, why was two fingers cut in half?
“Your the one in goldie hair form… Uhh… three and two halfs?” Ken said.
Kira got up and looked to Raze, her vision blurry and her head hurting. She suddenly took notice of Raze’s hand and questioned, “Why does sensei have twelve fingers in one hand?”
Raze’s frown continued, “Well, if I survive Rainbow Dash, I can always die at the hooves of Lyra…”
“Who’s Aryl?” Kira questioned.
“Yep, definitely going to get that returned… So much wrath…” Raze said.
The voice of that colorful blue pony… Oh yeah, Rainbow Dash, made herself known.“Alright Tyke, your caught, so just give up for… Uh, whatever you did.”
Raze powered down, “I give…”
“So wait, you’re telling me… That not only has Raze catapulted Scootaloo across Ponyville, but also gave Kira a concussion?” Lyra asked Rainbow in a serious motherly tone.
Rainbow only nodded.
“Ugh, he’s more trouble than Ken’s antics… “ Lyra said, “Thanks Rainbow, I’ll take care of it from here.”
“He’s all yours!” Rainbow Dash yelled, before flying off into the distance.
Lyra glared at Raze, he was in so much deep trouble. But… He is a child again, and he reminds herself of her own Twins.
Lyra sighed, “From two to three saiyan children, why can’t Kira keep both of you in wraps from getting into trouble?” The mint green unicorn questioned no one. She looked to the three children, Kira still looked like she was in a concussion, while Ken had been healed already. No doubt his father’s work. It doesn’t take a genius to put two and two together!
Ken fiddled with his fingers, and opened his mouth to say something, but closed it when nothing came out.
“So… I’m free to go?” Raze asked.
“Don’t even think about it, you’re all in trouble.” Lyra stated, bringing Raze, Ken, and Kira inside the house with her magic.
Lyra continued, facing Raze, “You and Ken will stand on your knees facing the wall for an hour, while I attend to Kira, the wall in the kitchen.”
Ken groaned and muttered, “I don’t like tile floors… “
Lyra knew Ken has had experience with it, he’s been punished with it when some of his antics went bad.
Raze frowned, “I’ve been around tile floors and know how they taste, misery…” They went over to assume the position and they stood on their knees.
The mint green unicorn looked to Kira and said, “Come here Kira, let’s get you an ice pack for your head.”
“Okay… “ Kira mumbled, walking to the living room and sitting on the couch.
Lyra went to the kitchen, glancing toward the children, Ken and Raze, to see if they were still at it. Which they were, so she grasped a towel and opened the fridge. Levitating some crushed ice into the towel before tying it up and bringing it over to her daughter in the living room. Lyra placed the bag on Kira’s head and told her to keep it on there for ten minutes.
The unicorn mother then went back toward the kitchen, opened the drawers before pulling out a pot and placing it on the stove. Filling it with broth and setting the stove fire on high. Lyra also grasped some vegetables from the fridge and a knife before starting to cut it. Ever mindful of the time so that she may end the punishment on the dot.
It has been around twenty minutes, and already Ken had begun groaning in both annoyance and minor pain. Just as Lyra had placed the cut vegetables within the boiling broth in the pot before covering the top with the lid and getting out the potato bag.
“It hurts… “ Ken groaned.
“You still have to stay there, Ken.” Lyra said, inwardly she was wondering if she put way too much time.
“But, but… “
“Ken.” Lyra stated.
Ken went silent as he continued to face the wall. Another ten minutes past, and Ken looked as if he was going to collapse.
“Ken, you can get up now.” Lyra said.
“THANK YOU!” Ken collapsed, holding his knees. “It hurts… The stinging… Why daddy, why you no heal while punishment… “ He finished.
Raze, still on his knees, looked to Ken with what Lyra thought was jealousy, “Lucky little… “ Raze grumbled.
Ken started crawling away from the scene of the execution platform, groaning every few seconds in agonizing pain. Lyra watched as Ken made his way to the living room, no doubt looking for his twin sister. The adoptive mother of the twins levitated a rag to the sink and drowsed it with cold water before squeezing most of the water out of it and bringing it to Ken.
“Here you go Ken, put this on your knees.” Lyra said as Ken grasped the rag and placed it as instructed.
Ken immediately gave a sigh of relief, “Thanks mommy… “ He trailed off.
Lyra smiled before walking back to the kitchen.
Forty minutes… Fifty minutes… And finally a hour had gone by.
“Okay Raze, your punishment is hereby over.” Lyra said, the smell of cooking had filled the air only a minute ago with the food nearly done and the pot uncovered, allowing the aroma of smells to spread along the house.
Raze had fallen over, moaning in pain and kept quiet of any words. A few tears falling down his cheek as he attempted to recover.
Lyra got yet another rag, and as she wet it she asked, “I’ve been wondering, you could have left the entire time of the punishment. Yet you obeyed my order like Ken did with no protest, why is that?”
Raze stayed turned over and facing away from her, “I! I- I- I don’t know…”
“Mmh… “ Lyra mumbled, as she telekinetically floated over a cold wet rag. “Place this over your knees, It’ll help. I’ve already given Ken one earlier.”
Raze looked at the rag floating before his face and then he looked away, after a second he grasp the rag and got into a sitting position, pulling up the legs of his pants to put the cold rag onto his bruised knees.
Whatever anger Raze had seemed to disappear into confusion, he seemed to be questioning himself as he absently looked toward Lyra Heartstrings.
Lyra turned her attention back to the food cooking, she stirred something in a big pot, silence in the air before she spoke, “If you’re wondering… We’re having a stew tonight, no carrots, but plenty of potatoes that’s for sure.” She giggled slightly.
“Hey, hey, helloooo, Raze-sensei, you there?” Kira poked Raze’s arm, her legs bent down to Raze’s sitting height.
Raze snapped back to life, “Uh… Yeah! Sorry about earlier…” Raze said to her with sincerity.
“It’s okay, I’m sorry too… And so is Ken, so we um… Kinda made a sleeping mat for you in our room if you don’t wanna sleep in the living room anymore… “ Kira stated, tail wagging behind her slowly.
Raze looked at her and nodded, “That sounds just fine. Thanks!”
Kira smiled, “And we promised not to wake you up so loudly either.” She said.
“Wow, thanks for that too!” Raze said to her.
Kira brought Raze up the stairs, Lyra smiling as she saw them go. She turned her attention back to the cooking saying to herself, “He’s not so bad, he sure would make a good older brother.”
Author's Note
Tada! Please leave a review and tell me what you think!
On the side note, this chapter was very neutral perspective, so that's the reason why more of the chapter is like that of Raze's version.
