Why does this always happen?” the Doctor questioned himself as he picked himself up off the floor. He walked over to the engine on the inside of the TARDIS and looked at it. It was severely damaged and was smoking a bit “Oh no.... There must have been a dimensional shift that fluctuated through the TARDIS'S mainframe and sent us to whatever or wherever we might be now...We could be at any point in time....” he trailed off as he trotted up the stairs from the engine room. The Doctor found Derpy immediately and she appeared to be hanging on to the railing and still unconscious from the incident. “Derpy? Derpy! Wake up!” he said as he shook Derpy to awaken her. “Oooohhh my head...” Derpy said as she felt herself being shaken up by the Doctor. “Oh thank goodness! You're okay!” The Doctor said to her as she tried to comprehend what was going on. The Doctor helped Derpy up, when that was done, he looked around. He caught sight of Raze whom was unconscious upon the floor of the TARDIS. He trotted over to Raze and said, “Come on! Wakey, wakey!” When that didn't work he gave up and went back to Derpy. “Are you ready to explore a new uncharted world Derpy?” He asked with a great amount of enthusiasm. “I think I'd rather have an aspirin... But I guess I'm ready!” she said with excitement, but she looked back at Raze and asked “What about Raze? Shouldn't he come with us in case of dangerous situations beyond our control?” she finished anxiously. “Nah! I think I can handle anything that comes our way!” He pulled out his Sonic Screwdriver and trotted to the door ready for whatever awaited him beyond the safety of the TARDIS. “Come on Derpy!” He said as he opened the door. Derpy followed him via flying as she touching down beside him as the door opened slowly. Light filtered in and blinded them both, but they kept going forward. The first sight that greeted them were two human looking children, twins to be exact. The Doctor saw them and activated his Sonic Screwdriver and scanned them “Hmmm... That's interesting...” Derpy spoke up from beside him “What's interesting?” The Doctor was about to say something when the first child, a young boy asked him with a face full of curiosity. “Who are you?” The boy said in his childish voice. The Doctor smiled 'He seems curious enough... Well guess I'll introduce us.' he then coughed and said “I'm the Doctor and this is Derpy Hooves! She's my assistant!” he finished. “Well I'm Ken! And this is my sister Kira!” he said while pointing to his twin sister. Kira smiled and said “It's nice to meet you two!” a tail wiggled around behind her in excitement. The Doctor smiled “It's nice to meet you as well! And it's also very interesting, you must be twins!” He then began to inspect them. “Everything nearly alike.... You two look so-” he was cut off by Derpy pushing him out of the way. “ADORABLE!!!” she screamed out in excitement, picking up Ken and looking all over him. “Wow such poofy hair too! Just like Raze!” Derpy said as she put down Ken. “Uh... Thanks?” Ken said to Derpy who then gave him a wall eyed look. Kira had heard Derpy's mention of this Raze character, and her tail curled up in suspicion. “Who's Raze?” she asked The Doctor. “Oh he looks just like you and-” he was interrupted by the TARDIS opening. ~Inside the TARDIS (When the Doctor and Derpy left to go outside)~ Raze finally stirred awake “Ohhhh man, what happened?” “The short story is you were knocked unconscious and now we are apparently somewhere else according to the Doctor” Said a Draconequus, who was sipping some chocolate milk while he sat on a chair looking at some chart in his paw. “Thanks Discord... An explanation like that deserves an award!” Raze then picked himself up and looked around. Discord popped into existence beside him “Well isn't this interesting?” “What's interesting about it?” Raze asked as Discord snapped his fingers. A chart appeared and Discord then pointed to the top of it “First! We got into the blue box! Second! We get hit by something! Third, and my most favorite part, we end up in some new world!” He then snapped his fingers and the chart disappeared. “This always happens when you do something Raze! If your not getting poisoned, then your fighting your dark side, and if it's none of that then the Nightmare tries to take over the world! Then if all that fails you become a giant Oozaru!” Discord exclaimed as Raze looked at him blankly. “And what's all this supposed to mean?” Raze asked Discord. “You're the most unlucky Saiyan alive! I swear even Krillin, the weakest human next to Yamcha, had better luck than you!” Discord took a pause and went further “If I wasn't such a fan of the Dragon ball Z world I wouldn't hang out with you!!” Raze smiled and said “Well then I guess I won't entertain you” he then walked off to the front door of the TARDIS. “WAIT!!!” Discord exclaimed as he continued “I take that back...” Raze smiled again and said “I knew it! There's no way you could stay entertained without me around to make life a blast!” Raze finished with a smug grin. Discord frowned indignantly “I know one way life could be entertaining...” he then snapped his fingers causing several pictures of Princess Celestia to appear “I almost made it to home plate... But I picked Chaos....” “Ummm... Discord can this wait for a while?” Raze asked as Discord gave him a glare. “Whatever!!” He snapped his fingers again and the pictures disappeared “Okay so your going to walk out and I'm going to turn invisible and hide my power” Raze nodded “Okay then let's go” He opened the door and stepped out. ~Outside the TARDIS~ Raze walked out “Hey guys what's going on?” Derpy smiled big “Raze we just met twins and they look like you! Only smaller and so adorable!” “Really well I wanna meet them too!” Raze walked over and saw them. However he didn't notice their faces went from being happy, to scared, to angry. “My name's Raze!” he said as he held out his hand to the two twins. They only stared at him for eight seconds before Raze's face was met with a fist and then being kicked into the dirt. Raze picked himself up from the dirt and said “Whoa... What just hit m-” SMASH! He was kicked again on the side by the boy, Ken. Raze flew back ten feet before crashing into the ground, he quickly got back up with a serious expression on his face. “No way that's happening again!” Raze exclaimed, he reached out with his senses and instantly saw the movement of Ken as yet another fist flashed out. Raze however, put his training to work and grabbed the fist. He then pulled Ken in and started to spin the boy around and then he let go. Ken was thrown off balance, but he used his Ki to set himself straight again. He charged at Raze angrily and began to throw fists and kicks. Raze, having more experience and training, and also having a more calm mind, blocked and dodge most of Ken's attacks. Raze then shot a Ki blast at Ken, which caught him off guard, blasting the young boy a few feet away. Ken caught himself in mid air, frustrated and not thinking clearly, he rushed at Raze once again. Raze took the opportunity to fly into the air. Ken followed quickly, and as Raze climbed higher and higher into the sky. Raze looked down and said “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...” The boy brought his hand to his right side. “Ha...Me!” A ball of blue energy appeared within them and compressed to stay within his palms. Raze knew this attack far to well, so he cupped his hands together too, following Ken's same movements as he prepared his own 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. Raze was winning the struggle, his beam overpowering the younger child, but then he felt a power rise from the boy, a power he knew well as he had it himself. The young boy's eyes changed into a tealish hue, his hair flowed upward and changed into a golden color, an aura burst into existence around the child as he finished transforming into the state of a Super Saiyan. “AAARGHH!” his beam then blasted upwards as it surged into Raze's own attack, it tore through it like scissors does to paper. Raze knew he had to get out of the way, he stopped his own attack and quickly moved to the left as Ken's Kamehameha wave shot past him. Raze looked toward the boy, his eyes widening for a brief instant. “Wow, he's a Super Saiyan!” Ken flew upwards and readied himself for close combat, his face filled with anger as he struggled to control his transformation. Raze, however, smiled and said “If that's how you want to play it, then by all means let's!” Raze'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 knew what to expect and also disappeared. Many clashes could be heard as the two fighters battled it out in the sky. ~On the ground~ The Doctor sighed “Well it looks like their out of reach now....” Derpy nodded “Yep... This happens normally I'm sure... Right Kira?” she asked the other twin child who was looking astounded at how Raze transformed. “He can go Super Saiyan?” Kira asked as if she hadn't saw that coming at all. “Well of course he can! What did you think he was?” Derpy asked her, tilting her head in question. Kira looked down, both her and Ken had thought completely differently and guessed the worst before looking and gathering info like their father had told them to always do before rushing in. She kicked the ground, 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. “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. Kira whispered something about “Mommy is gonna kill us” but nobody around could hear it. ~In the Air~ “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?' Suddenly Raze's senses were overwhelmed 'I sense two energies coming from this kid... What's happening, his rage suddenly stopped and his personality seems to have shifted into a more intelligent and powerful person...' The boy powered down as his rage finally finished cooling down, he looked up to Raze with a calculating and very, very intelligent look. 'What is he?! There must be an answer for two different power levels...Much stronger, and it almost felt... Dare I say it... Familiar somehow....' The boy signaled Raze to follow him down toward the, what appeared to be a backyard where the TARDIS had crashed. Ken floated downward until he touched the grassy ground. Raze quickly followed and stood on the ground seconds later. Raze powered down and looked at the kid. He still looked different “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.” A more mature voice said through the Ken, a father from the sound of it. The boy's personality shifted again, returned back to the innocent face of a child, through holding his head from a headache, which seemed to have quickly disappeared. Raze also noticed how the wounds he inflicted on the child earlier where healed already. 'He heals fast too, much faster than an average saiyan...' Raze thought to himself as he looked at Ken. The boy finally 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. Raze shrugged “It happens” ~End of Chapter~ Protective Mothers and Doctor Brilliance~Journey of Saiyans Chapter 3~ Raze shrugged “It happens” Ken wiped his tears and smiled, happy that Raze forgave him. Raze took a quick look around. 'A backyard... It's unfamiliar to me, so I must not have been here before. Ken seems to trust the Doctor and Derpy, so it's safe to assume Ken knows the pony species well enough, though I'm not sure how to approach the situation...' Raze suddenly felt his hand being grabbed, he looked down to see Ken holding it with a smile across his childish face. “Come on! I'll show you sis!” The boy seemed to pause for a bit, probably searching for his sister's Ki signature, before he dragged Raze toward a direction. When they arrived, a small girl with a tail ran right up to Ken and grabbed him in worry. “Ken are you hurt?” She concernedly asked. Raze was also met with concern from Derpy, whom was checking him over several times for sighs of injury. “You really got to stop doing this stuff Raze! Or you'll end up in the same hospital bed next to Rainbow Dash.” Raze laughed and said “I don't think I would've taken to much damage this fight, after all Ken was a little unfocused.” He finished as Derpy finished her own little examination. “I suppose you didn't get any damage, but just be more careful!” Derpy said to Raze. She then hovered over to Ken and examined him, but found no wounds on the boy. “He'll be fine Kira, no need to worry at all!” She 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. “Well it's nice to meet you!” Raze said to the twins. “So, where did yo-” Kira stopped as another voice rang out loud and clear. "Ken, Kira I'm home! And I brought dinner!" At the mention of food, the 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. A lime green pony looked out the window, it was Lyra, she stayed at the window looking out and squinting her eyes looking for something, but there was a heavy fog covering the area. She decided there was nothing to worry about and walked back in. Raze took notice that Lyra hadn't seen them. “She couldn't see us? Why couldn't she see us?” he asked nopony in particular. The esteemed Time Lord smiled and said. “I put up a fog-like field around us using your DNA Raze. It's unique and that means nopony can see us. Now, we can address the issues were having right at the current moment.” He trotted towards the TARDIS and opened the doors. “Come along! We need to evaluate the full amount of damage sustained by the TARDIS in the temporal shift.” Derpy followed the Doctor and then looked back at Raze when she reached the door. “Raze are you coming?” Raze nodded and proceeded to follow Derpy into the TARDIS. He closed the doors behind him as he entered and looked over to The Doctor, who had went down the stairs on the other side of the primary control panel and started going through the motions of following through each wire to decide if they needed replacement or repair. Derpy had followed and now sat watching apprehensively while thinking of other things 'Muffins... Muffins would be really nice right about now' Raze walked over to Derpy and sat down as well. The wait seemed to last for over half an hour before the brilliant Doctor finally spoke out in a scientific tone. “The quantum time matrix was overloaded causing the TARDIS to shut down. Now, I should be able to make the parts, but that will take around two weeks at the least.” The Doctor said, suddenly Raze appeared in front of his face. “Okay two weeks and then we leave!” The full-blooded saiyan yelled, but then the Doctor shook his head in defiance. “I'm afraid it's not just the matrix, but I also need to repair the wires that were damaged, and then every other slightly damaged circuit, plus we need to find somepony with enough magical knowledge and prowess to fix several screens that were damaged in the crash. All in all that should take another three weeks and possibly more then that depending on if anything goes wrong.” The Doctor looked at them waiting for a reaction and he definitely got one. Raze face turned into a pretty angry one at this point. “A month!? Possibly more!? This can't get any worse!” The saiyan complained, through his arms into the air in testimate to his frustration. Derpy looked down, a bit sad, but then she perked up and said. “Why are you reacting so badly? This could be a chance to make friends!” She yelled in happiness. “Well.... I don't know” Raze said, looking to the side. The Doctor smiled saying. “Raze, you should make the best of this opportunity! There are two creatures outside in a house that are from your own race!” the Doctor then paused and then said “Well, they're half your race anyway.” Raze looked at the Doctor and said. “Why should I make friends with a couple of kids? Don't you need my help?” “Actually you would just be in the way, and in the way is when you should be gone and exploring this new other copy of Equestria! Think of the possibilities that could be here that aren't in our Equestria! You could also teach those twins about their strengths and weaknesses! Think of it as a challenge in the beginning, and by the end of it, you'll be remembered fondly after this month!” The Doctor finished his speech while he continued his work on the TARDIS mainframe. Raze glanced at the ceiling in thought. 'So training them? Pros? I gain life long friends, and training partners? Cons? I'm not even sure what the cons would be, I'll figure that out later.' The Doctor took notice of Raze thinking. “So I see you've taken your time to think about the possibilities mentioned before Raze! Right?” The Doctor questioned him and received a nod from Raze. “I suppose... Maybe I could try it out. But what about that Unicorn? How would she react to a full grown Saiyan just waltzing right into her own house?” Raze asked him, to which Derpy then answered. “That's the easiest thing you've mentioned so far Raze! We'll go with you and explain the situation!” She said, as she knew the lime green Unicorn in her world already. “Do you even know her!?” Raze asked Derpy. “Well duh! Her name is Lyra and she lives with her best friend Bon Bon!” Derpy replied looking proud of herself for remembering one of her many friends. “Okay, let's go then Doctor and Derpy.” Raze said as he grabbed one of each of their hooves. “But I was going to stay on the TARDIS!” The Doctor said as he tried to fight against Raze's tight grip. “No, you aren't staying on the ship! Derpy mentioned you would go and now you're going!” Raze yelled as he continued to drag them from the TARDIS. Derpy didn't seem to mind but the Doctor continued yelling “Goodbye Sexy!” to the TARDIS. Finally they reached the backdoor of Lyra's house and Raze knocked on it. ~On the inside of the House~ Lyra heard the knocking from the backdoor and looked at her 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. Yum! Lyra walked toward backdoor, a smile spread across her face. She turned the doorknob and pulled the door open. “Hello come o-” She stopped abruptly in mid sentence when she looked up at Raze. 'He looks like a human...' She thought, a few seconds later her protective side kicked in and she spoke in an aggressive tone toward him. “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, her magic kicking in as her horn glowed a tealish hue. Before anything could happen The Doctor put himself in front of Lyra and Raze. “I think you might be making a mistake Lyra!” Lyra looked at him and tilted her head to the side. “Clockwork? What are you doing so far from your house?” Lyra asked him. “I think you have me confused-” but he was interrupted as Derpy pushed Raze and himself out of the way. “Lyra! It's nice to see other world you!” Derpy yelled, Lyra then smiled and replied. “It's nice to see you too Ditzy, but what do you mean by other world me?” She asked Derpy, in which Derpy opened her mouth to reply only for the Doctor to shove his hoof in her mouth. “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” The Doctor explained excursively to her quickly as Derpy tried to rip his hoof out of her mouth. The Doctor then took Derpy to his side and whispered to her. “We'll explain it to her soon, just let her think we are who she thinks till we can get passed this minor setback.” He turned to Raze and Lyra to find she was angry again. “Now go away Human! You won't be taking Ken and Kira back!” Lyra exclaimed, her horn charging up a powerful spell that could knock even a saiyan back a couple feet to the ground. “But I'm not a human!” Raze quickly said, but Lyra was not easily convinced She looked him over again, her horn still charged, before she said. “Prove it.” “So you want me to prove that I'm not human?” Raze 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...” Raze focused his Ki energy, a white blade-like aura appearing around him as he powered up. Raze reached down inside him and pulled that spark, that endless electric current within him, and felt the power rush through his veins. Raze'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 the cyan colored pony. “Proof enough?” Raze asked her. His powerful aura causing some cracks on the back porch floor. Lyra only nodded with a dumbfounded look on her face. “Wow, another Saiyan?” She asked him as she looked at him up and down. “Well... Yes to be exact” Raze 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.” Raze signaled for The Doctor and Derpy to follow him in. As they entered, Lyra closed the door behind them. Lyra looked at Raze 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 then she and the two twin children went upstairs, the kids probably heading toward their rooms. Raze and the Time Duo got comfortable on the couch. Suddenly, Raze asked The Doctor “Doctor what do we do now?” He said. “Well we have to be truthful! We'll tell them who we are and how we got here, that way we can avoid confusion because she obviously knows us, well not you Raze...” The Doctor said to them as they heard the sound of hoof-steps coming down the stairs. 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. The Doctor 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!” Naturally, the two ponies didn't believe him. “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, but The Doctor just grinned. “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...” The Doctor 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, clearly she didn't have a good day. “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.” The Doctor finished while chuckling “But I'll be there to stop them, because muscle isn't always best way to stop something.” “You sound way to happy about that...” Lyra trailed off as the Doctor looked at her weirdly. “Why wouldn't you be happy about something so deadly?” The Doctor asked her. “Uh... What about you Ditzy? How did you end up with this nut?” Lyra asked her. Derpy 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. “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 to get all the details into his mind and 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. “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. The Doctor nudged Derpy a little. “What do you think they're talking about?” “Maybe they're talking about muffins!” Derpy said to the Doctor. Raze injected himself into the conversation. “I doubt it's about muffins... Besides we have other problems.” Raze turned in the direction of the stairs not to far from the living room. “Well we know you two have been listening in!” He yelled to someone. “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 there attempts at not going fast while floating down, but at the same time keeping as quiet as possible. “Actually I just sensed you... Your energy travels you know!” Raze explained as the twins finally walked into view. Ken took a quick glance around the room before turning to Raze. “Is Mommy and Bon Bon in the kitchen?” “Yes, yes they are.” Derpy said to them as they continued to wait. Kira's tail wiggled in wonder as she tried to guess what they might be talking about. Ken in the meantime, was staring at the object hanging beside of the Doctor, his curiosity got the better of him and he grabbed it. “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. “Whoa... Any lock?” Ken asked the Doctor. “Indubitably!” The Doctor said to Ken, who seemed to smile at the reply. Finally, after a couple more minutes. 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!” Raze and Discord meet Chris the Saiyan!Journey of Saiyans Chapter 4 “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! “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. “Okay then, how about this! Why does Ken and Kira hate humans?” Raze asked her, but Lyra and the twins gave him wide eyes. Ken and Kira looked away to try and avoid looking in his direction, clearly they didn't like the subject at all. 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. “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. 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. Raze looked toward the twins and said to them. “So, how's the food here? How's the apples?” The two twins eagerly replied, as this was one of their favorite subjects of chat. “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 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 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. The two then walked up the stairs with Lyra behind them, never to be seen until the following morning. Bon Bon looked at Raze and Derpy “Don't mess up anything! I got my eye on you both!” She then gave them quite a stern stare and then walked up the stairs. Once she was out of their sight, all the tension left. “Well good night Derpy.” Raze said to her, setting up the couch to sleep in. Derpy got comfortable in the recliner, and set her head on the pillow. She smiled at Raze and said “Good night Raze.” before she cut off the lights that were on the wall right next to the recliner, making the room turn into the black of darkness. Within seconds they were both asleep. ~Dream-scape~ Raze opened his eyes to see himself within his Dream-scape alive before him 'It's all here! But where's Discord hiding?' He thought as he walked around to find the supposed Spirit of Chaos. “Hey Discord! Where are you?!” Raze yelled, but to no avail he heard no answer. Raze continued walking forward until he finally found Discord. The Lord of Chaos was sitting on a raft in the middle of a chocolate milk lake surrounded by patches of pink grass and floating cotton candy clouds. “Oh you're finally here!” Discord exclaimed, he snapped his fingers causing the lake, cotton candy clouds, and pink grass to disappear or revert to normal. “Yeah I'm here! Why did you ignore me?!” Raze asked, or better yet, yelled, at Discord. “Oh I couldn't hear anything while swimming in chocolate milk... Besides you would've found me eventually, so it hardly matters if I ignored you or not.” Discord said in his matter of fact voice. “Ugh... So what's on your mind Discord?” Raze asked. “How would you even know that I was thinking of something?!” Discord replied, his face in minor shock. “Because you use chocolate milk and cotton candy as a way of avoiding something, or you use it to enhance your train of thought.” Raze explained. He had been observing the patterns of Discord for an entire month since he started training back in his universe. “Well.... You're absolutely right Raze!” Discord enthusiastically said. “So what are you actually thinking about?!” Raze asked him. “Were going to visit Ken's subconscious!” Discord said suddenly. Raze gave him a look with his eyes that clearly said 'I'm about to reprimand you!' Discord rolled his eyes in reply to his stare. “Seriously Raze are you going to stop the fun already?! Before it even starts?! You're absolutely no fun at all!” Then suddenly, Raze brightened with a grin. “Actually I think it's a great idea!” He exclaimed to the Lord of Chaos. “R- really? I thought you would be the party pooper!” Discord said to Raze. “Why do you think that?” Raze asked him. “I made a song for you!” Discord said excitedly as he poofed up a piece of paper within his claw. Discord took a deep breath and began to sing. Every party needs a pooper that's why they invited you Party pooper! Party pooper..... “What do you think!?” Discord asked excitedly. “That wasn't funny at all...” Raze said to him. “That's why your the party pooper and I'm the ruler of parties!” Discord said as a party hat appeared on his head. Suddenly beside Discord a hole opened up and Pinkie Pie ripped through it. “Pinkie Pie?! How did you get in here?!” Raze exclaimed to her. Pinkie ignored him however as she attacked Discord with a big giant red hoof, then took his party hat and put it on her head “I'm the ruler of parties...FFFOOOOORRRREEVVVVVEEEEEERRRRRRR!” She finished dramatically as she went back through the hole and zipped it up. “Wow she knows how to throw a hoof at someone!” Discord said as he rubbed his black eye. “Serves you right for that stupid song!” Raze yelled to Discord whom ignored him. “I thought it was just fine....” Discord then began to prepare his magic. “Are you ready to travel to another Dream-scape Raze?” Discord asked him, ready to snap his fingers. “Yeah! Let's go!” and with that Discord's power surrounded them and then transferred them to Ken's Dream-scape. Though they didn't know it they were intercepted by the seal holding a powerful saiyan Z-Fighter, and the two were drawn into the seal instead of their intended destination. ~Seal-scape~ A flash of golden power and then nothing as two shapes appeared in front of a capsule house in the middle of scenic nowhere. If you didn't count the gigantic forest with small animals that surrounded said house. “Wow, Ken must be pretty sheltered... I mean, I was expecting kiddy things and bright thoughts not this plain old forest.” Discord said, looking around at the scenery that was supposedly the little hybrid's mind. “Maybe Ken hasn't got much of an imagination... This is pretty boring after all... Who would want to live in the middle of nowhere? What kind of dream home is this?” Raze said as he looked around. “This is definitely a capsule house, so there must be some influence from Bulma.” Discord then flew to the air. “You mean the legendary inventor Bulma?! She was a top subject in school!” Raze said, joining the Spirit of Chaos in the air. “You had to learn in school while I was able to watch their life's from the very beginning! It was the best movie ever and you wanna know why? Because they weren't acting, It was 100 percent real!” Discord said smugly to Raze. “Lucky, All I could do was read about them...” Raze said, thinking of the boring years of school. Discord then disappeared and stayed invisible “Raze I'm hiding my power! Something is approaching.” then Discord was silent as Raze also felt the power level incoming at a high velocity. Suddenly a person about Raze's height wearing a black Gi with the symbol for Angel and Turtle on both front back appeared in front of Raze, he looked at Raze seriously, his eyes showing intelligence with no fear of him. A tail wrapped around his waist gave Raze the instant thought this guy was also a saiyan, suddenly the man talked. “What are you doing here?” He asked. “I decided to explore and stuff...” Raze said, the man glared at him with a calculating stare, his arms crossed. “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.” the saiyan 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. The saiyan looked at him with 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.” “Well? Come on! Tell me your name and I'll tell you what you want to know!” Raze said to the being. “Alright, sheesh! 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 Raze. “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. “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. Chris instantly fazed out and reappeared 4 feet away from Draconoquis. In fighting stance, but then calmed down as he remembered something“What are you doing here?” “Oh nothing, just exploring other people's minds besides Raze's for once.” Discord said to Chris. “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. “How did you know about that?” Chris questioned the 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. 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...” Chris whispered the last part. He then turned to Raze and said. “How about we continue this conversation down on the 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. “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. “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 as he tried to come up with more reasons to not train them. “That's where you come in! Your 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. “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. Raze looked up at Discord whom 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. “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. “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 do 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.” “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.” “Then why do Ken and Kira both hate humans? And how did Kira turn half saiyan since she's 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. ~Raze's Dream-scape~ Discord smiled and said “That was fun!” he was still looking at his photo album which consisted of a lot of Princess Celestia and then the picture they made together. “Your still looking at the picture aren't you Discord?” Raze asked him. “Yes I am still looking at the picture, and it is very epic!” Discord exclaimed as he turned it sideways and over again. “Oh and Raze?” “Yeah Discord?” “Tomorrow night we'll visit Ken's own Dream-scape! I found out how to get to it with out being put in Chris's Seal-scape” Discord told Raze. “It's called a Seal-scape?” Raze asked Discord. “Pretty much” Discord said to Raze. ~End of Chapter~ Wacky Discord and Weird PegasiThe morning was eventful, or at least eventful for the two kids that our hero met yesterday. Raze woke up and Derpy did as well, to find out that Lyra was already making packed lunches, and both of the eight year old Ken and Kira, in new clothes with seemingly custom-made backpacks. The two then gave Raze, Derpy, and Lyra they're goodbyes and left to go toward the school house. Lyra had then went off to work and Bon Bon was off to the candy shop where she sold delicious chocolate among other things. Derpy proceeded to go hang out with The Doctor leaving Raze completely alone in the living room, or at least, alone with Discord that is. “You could always go outside you know?” Discord advised. “I don't know what to expect...” Raze replied to the Spirit of Chaos. “Ponies Raze! That's exactly what you would expect!” Discord exclaimed as Raze turned over on the couch, putting his back towards the Draconequus. “Why don't you visit the twins at school and get to know them over lunch?” Discord asked him, Raze turned over yet again and replied in a bored fashion. “Because schools are boring” He said flatly. “School isn't boring, in this case, you're being boring Raze!” Discord told him flat out. “Don't patronize me! Besides, don't you have a princess to woo? Or go talk with your evil self!” Raze told him, making Discord give him an angry stare. “Do you think that Celestia wouldn't question the fact that I escaped my stone prison? And came to her with flowers and chocolates?!” Discord angrily questioned. “Well, why not?” Raze asked Discord. Discord face palmed, “Come on Raze! Do something interesting! I'm so bored!” For the next five minutes Discord became the most annoying thing alive. Pinkie Pie couldn't possibly top his antics, okay maybe she could, but he created so many things to annoy Raze with that it seemed like it. In fact, Raze felt like he was about to explode on the inside of his mind and for all intents and purposes began to think of ways to murder the chaotic god, even going as far as to think to murder him with a pencil to the face. Finally Raze gave up on his diabolical plots, he once again gave into the peer pressure produced from the continuous rantings of Discord. “FINE!” He yelled. He stood up and walked towards the door, opened it and then went out forcibly shutting the wooden frame behind him. Only once Raze finally reached the outside did he realize 'I don't know anypony! And nopony knows me!' 'Why don't you head to the school house and ask Ken and Kira about the town. Surely they would know something if anything about the ponies around Ponyville in this dimension?' Discord said, in his form invisible to all but Raze. 'Well... I guess we could do that! Let's go to school!' Raze then thought that over again 'That didn't sound as cool as I thought... But I was thinking without saying it.... Oh well, Let's go Discord!' And with that he walked down the path towards the schoolyard. Along the way Raze got a lot of stare 'Oh man... They keep staring with those big eyes, it's so weird!' Raze continued down the walkway, trying to ignore all the questioning glances. Raze wondered why the ponies weren't hiding or something, but he guessed it was because of Ken and Kira, and whatever recent events that involved the two mentioned kids. Raze looked around, trying to spot any differences between this Ponyville, and the one he knew. There were several. He looked over to a section of the town, that looked like it had just been rebuilt. 'Strange, I don't remember that part being so new.' Raze thought. 'It might have been a recent natural disaster, or probably from battling my 'evil' self.' Discord said. 'And what makes you say that?' The saiyan responded. 'Oh, I went to Ponyville straight away when I got out of my stone prison last time. I'm absolutely, positively, sure that even me, as in evil me, did the same thing.' 'Your weird you know that?' Discord stood up proudly. 'And I'm proud of it!' An hour or two later, after what seemed to be a walk that lasted forever, courtesy of Discord, Raze and his annoying companion finally arrived at the school grounds. And right on time, as the bell rang indicating Lunch and Recess time for the children of the Ponyville school. Raze entered the playground, causing few foals stared at him with big googly eyes. 'Oh Kami, and I thought grown ponies eyes were big!' Raze mentally yelled, Discord laughed in response. 'Hahahaha, aah, good one. Now onward toward the two munchkins over to your... Northwest.' Raze looked toward said direction to find the twin eating lunch with three other ponies. One pony was snow white with a purple and pink hair stripe mane, another was orange with a purple hue mane, and the last was yellow with red hair and a red bow on top. “Ah, there you two are!” Raze exclaimed toward the two twins. “Raze!” The two twins exclaimed in surprise. “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 the full grown saiyan. “Oh that's fine, I can wait.” He sat down on the wooden bench table. He looked toward the three ponies and said to the twins. “Who's your friends?” “Oh, we can answer that! I'm Scootaloo!” The orange, purple maned one yelled. “I'm Sweetie Bell.” The white, purple pink maned one said. “And I'm Applebloom!” The last filly exclaimed in a western accent. “And we're...” Raze suddenly noticed the twins had their ears covered. 'Uh oh.' “THE CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS!” They screamed in unison. Causing Raze to cover his ears in PAIN. 'Oh my Celestia! That was painful! Wait... did I just say Celestia? Native speech is getting to me, but still that was loud!' Ken said something, but Raze couldn't hear him. He rubbed his ears and tried to hear it again. He said in all this genius in the world “What?” Kira said something as well, but his ears kept ringing. “What did you say?” Raze replied. 'Oh great, I'm deaf!' Discord came to him. 'Here, let me fix that. I nearly went deaf myself!' He snapped his fingers next to Raze's ears, and the world of sound came back to him. “I SAID ARE YOU OKAY?!” Ken yelled at him. 'AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!' Only to hold his ears once again. Thankfully, his hearing came back quicker due to Ken's voice not being as loud. 'Hahaha, oh that was ironic! Two times in a row, don't worry through I'm sure that's the end of the loud attacks.' “Oh, I'm sorry Raze.” Ken apologized. “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.” “Hey!” Both of the said yelled. “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 ponies and the twins groaned. 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. ~Ponyville Marketplace~ Raze looked around at all the fruits and even saw Applejack's stand, but every time he walked over to a stand he reminded himself with a flashback 'Maybe you should go eat lunch? If you got uh... bits? Yeah, bits are the money here.' Kira said. Raze thought to himself 'I never ran into this kind of problem back in the original Ponyville...' 'That's because you never saved anypony from a dragon or helped save the world here! Free food is for heroes, not lazy bums that crash into a pony's backyard!' Discord said to Raze. “Well could you help me then Discord?” He asked the floating spirit. 'That's cheating and you know it!' Discord said as he lazily threw invisible bits up and down in his lion paw. Raze looked at him and put on his serious face “Your going to hand over those bits!” he exclaimed to the Draconoquis. 'We'll see about that!' Discord said as he flew off into the air. “Come back here!” Raze yelled as his aura burst outward and he took off, taking pieces of earth with him in the process. Meanwhile, back at the school, in the middle of art class. A surge of energy had 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 are we doing again?” Ken questioned. ~In the Air above Ponyville~ “I need those bits!” Raze yelled as he went after Discord whom was laughing annoyingly at the moment. Raze flew at Discord, but the Draconequus dodged him and flew away from the not-a-hero-in-this-world. Raze turned to the direction Discord had went and began speeding directly towards it without looking where he was going. In an instant he collided with a Pegasus whom was pushed out of the air as one of it's wings had hit Raze's side. Raze looked down in panic and said “I've got you!” He then charged downwards, forgetting Discord completely as he went to catch the Pegasus. He then took it towards the ground and laid it on the ground. Raze examined it and found it was indeed a mare. He was promptly smacked as well by a hoof “Don't touch me!” She said angrily as she picked herself up off the ground. Perhaps he should have held her at a different position. “Sorry....” He said as she looked at him with a glare. “You should be! You were the one who knocked me out of the air... Wait, are you that human everyone's been talking about?” She questioned at him. 'Human? Is she talking about Ken and Kira?' He shook his head in response. “I didn't mean to crash into you, it's my fault, I apologize, I wasn't looking where I was going.” “Well, you did save me, I'll excuse you for now.” *Growl* Raze grabbed his stomach in slight pain, he was starving! “If your hungry there's Sugarcube Corner over there.” She said to him, pointing toward the mentioned place that he already knew of. “Well, um, I kinda don't have any money.” He said dumbly. “I'll pay for you, because nopony should be that hungry. But only this once, besides I don't know if your related to the other humans or not, so consider this a gift for them to you.” Raze thought to himself 'Well, I guess it's fine, I should thank the twins for their reputation otherwise I'll have to starve for the day.' He shivered a bit at starving. “Well? You coming or not?” She asked him. “Sure, I could go with you!” He replied eagerly. She began to walk towards the place before turning around and saying “By the way, I'm Blossomforth!” “I'm Raze!” He said, following her. “Nice to meet you, but I'm telling you I won't pay for any big meals.” she exclaimed to him. “Whatever you say, I'm just happy to eat something!” Raze said as he fell in step beside her. As they walked in a sinister shadow watched them and it began to snicker with delight as it followed them inside. ~Inside Sugar cube Corner~ Raze and Blossomforth sat at a booth as resident baker, Pinkie Pie brought them 4 muffins. She looked at Raze and gasped “Hi, Pinkie Pie from the other world told me to tell you that she wishes you would come home! She has a surprise for you!” Pinkie said as Raze's eye twitched. “Well tell her there's been some difficulties and that I'm not going back for a while. Okay?” he asked her to which she nodded and then left them with a smile. Blossomforth looked confused “What was that about?” she asked Raze. “You wouldn't understand.” Raze said as he dove into the muffins. “Hey don't eat all of them! I got two also you know!” Blossomforth said as she claimed the other two muffins. Blossomforth took several bites of her muffin and then set it down “So, what are Humans like?” she asked him. Raze was about to say he was a saiyan, but stopped. Why did the two twins be called humans when they dislike them? And when Lyra knows their Saiyans? Well, half saiyan anyway. Raze sighed and then began his best knowledge of the human race, combined with a few saiyan details. Ten minutes had passed and while Blossomforth had got caught up in his explanation another mare pony had found her seat right next to her. “That's amazing! You must be really strong and smart!” Blossomforth exclaimed. “I guess I am considered to be strong, though I'm not much of the bragging type.” Raze replied with a grin. The other pony next to her then said “That's cool! Now how about a different discussion? Do you perform well?” “Cloud Kicker?! When did you get here?!” Blossomforth asked in confusion. “Blossom you should know me by now! I always turn up when there's a chance for some fun!” She turned back to Raze “We should bang! I've always liked foreigners, I've seen the human children and always wondered how Humans performed.” She said as she looked at him with half-lidded eyes. Raze was confused “Uh... I need an adult?” Cloud Kicker looked at him with a big smile on her face “I am an adult!” Blossomforth pushed her out of the way “He needs some other adult you nit-wit!” “I'M RESPONSIBLE!” Pinkie exclaimed, randomly appearing from in the kitchen. “And I'm going to leave now” Raze said as he began to walk out the door. “But what about fun time?!” Cloud Kicker yelled as Raze slipped out the door. Cloud Kicker struggled with Blossomforth causing them to be further entangled. She decided this would be the perfect moment to drop a custom-made saying that was passed down for generations “Does this mean we've reached second base?” Blossomforth's ears twitched and she pushed Cloud Kicker away “Why can't you think of something other than m-m-mating?” “Because it's completely natural! And since I can't get the other humans due to laws, I will get Raze to think about it!” She proclaimed to the ponies inside the shop. “You PERVERT!” *SLAP* ~Walking fast through Ponyville~ 'Keep walking, nothing is worth going back!' Raze thought to himself as he continued to walk fast. His fast walking started to garner more attention from the ponies whom all turned and stared with those huge, shape defying eyes. 'Oh Kami, it's like staring into the eyes of death itself! How do those kids even deal with this... oh wait, it's because their kids that they can deal with it! Darn it!' He thought to himself. 'I think you took that rather well!' Discord said as he appeared beside Raze. 'Where the hell were you!' Raze yelled at Discord through his mind. 'I was watching your predicament inside Sugar cube Corner while eating cotton candy, I must say that mare reminded me of a female version of Master Roshi.' Discord said as he remembered the hilarious moment. 'Why couldn't you just give me some bits?' Raze asked the Draconequus. 'Because then I wouldn't have any fun at all! You should know that by now!' Discord said to Raze whom then had an anger vein in his head, but cooled down. 'Well I managed to get at least a snack... Now what?' Raze asked Discord. 'Wanna go back to school?' Discord asked him. 'Isn't it near the end of the school day?' Raze asked the spirit. 'Maybe... But we could pick them up from school!' Discord said excitedly at the thought of doing one last interesting thing for the day. 'Then I suppose I can steal my resolve! One last time... Let's go!' Raze said, making his way toward the school of the little saiyan twins. 'Speaking of them, how am I going to start training them? I don't even know their current training schedule, but I suspect they must use at least weighted clothing. And what am I gonna start with if I decide to let them do gravity training with me?' Discord spoke up 'Oh, you decided to train the munchkins?' He asked. 'Well, Chris said that I should. And why do you call them that? Munchkins.' Raze questioned. 'Because that's what saiyan kids are! You Saiyans eat a lot, especially when your young! Plus, you look so small for quite a long while!' Discord answered. Raze rolled his eyes, yeah he already knew. It was annoying to be small even in his teenage years. But once he grew, he was quite tall. 'By the way, we're here.' Discord said, knocking Raze out of his thoughts. The bell to the school must have recently rang, because foals all over the place were leaving and being picked up from the schoolyard. Raze, and Discord, looked over the school to spot the hybrid twins. Soon enough, they found them sitting on a porch talking to each other, their backpacks lied upon the floor. Raze walked up to them and greeted them with a “Hey!” “Hi Raze!” Kira responded cheerfully, her small saiyan tail already wagging. “Hiya Raze.” Ken said. “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, Raze couldn't help but smile himself for some reason as the twins instantly jumped and went up to Raze joyfully. “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 shouted with glee. “Well...” Author's Note Thanks to Boyzilla, writers block didn't destroy me and he had equal creativity on this chapter! Which, I think worked pretty well considering how this ended up doing great! Now I'm going to try and get the newest chapter of Raze's Journey done! It has back story for Raze and it's a Celestia chapter! Now I like the character of Celestia, but she never get's her own episode which really sucks as it means I don't know her quirks other than she likes to play around and is only serious when she needs to be that way. That doesn't mean I won't have fun with it! Other than all that, I hope every enjoyed this chapter for Journey of Saiyans and I hope to continue writing this for a long while! :D See you all soon! One Does Not Simply Train At A Higher Gravity~Journey of Saiyans Chapter 6~ “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 an area in his pants where a capsule containing his capsule box was. 'Wow, I'm glad I remembered to bring a Gravity chamber after all.' He mentally thought. Kira's tail wiggled in curiosity at the mention of this... Gravity chamber. “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 as they continued to walk through Ponyville. "What's gravity?" Ken asked. 'Oh crap, how do I explain it...' Raze thought. "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. "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 trailed off in through, they walked towards the door only to see Bon Bon standing on the porch with the key in her hoof. Bon Bon turned around waved at the three Saiyan... Human... you get it, as they walked towards her. The twins ran forward and gave her a hug. Raze however, decided to stand at a comfortable distance. “You picked up the twins today Raze?” Bon Bon asked him to which he nodded. “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. “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. At least the twins thought so. The spirit of chaos, Discord, flew next to Raze saying... 'Well, let's see your 'brilliant' training methods at work! I just can't wait to see you fail!' Discord thought tauntingly to Raze. 'Alright, I'll show you!' Raze thought back to Discord, determined to prove himself a sensei to the two twins. “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. “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 sensei, ecstatic to learn about new techniques and a chance to train with someone new. When Raze opened the door, he bumped into Derpy whom had saddlebags tied around her. “Hey Derpy!” He said in minor surprise. “Hey Raze!” She looked around to see the twins behind Raze and said “Hey Ken and Kira!” “Hi Derpy!” The twins both said together as walked right next to Raze outside. “What are you three up to?” Derpy curiously asked. Ken, being Ken, spoke up first “Me and sis are going to train with Raze!” Kira cheerfully added “Yeah!” the little hybrid's tail wagged 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 a capsule, he pressed it and with some smoke a colored box appeared labeled G-SET 6770-90. Our Saiyan hero rummaged through the case for the correct capsule. 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 and watched as Raze finally pulled out the Capsule he needed. The capsule was a gray colored one with G-6787 written on the side. “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 a batch for tomorrow's school, okay?” “Kay!” The two twins replied. “Ah, here we go!” Raze clicked the top of the capsule 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, he looked toward the two munchkins- 'Wait, did I just call them munchkins?' 'Ha, it's getting to you isn't it!' Discord took this time to comment. 'I blame you for this.' The saiyan thoughtfully 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 an 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. Raze followed them inside and looked around a bit “I think the light switch is right around- Ah-hah! Here it is.” Raze then flipped the switch and the lights cut on. The room was large and the tiles were light purple. In the middle of the room was a machine that connected to the floor and the top of the building. “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. “That is the gravity control mechanism-” Raze noticed the blank stares of the twins at the word of mechanism. “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, just so we know how much gravity you can train at in the beginning.” Raze said, he made his way to the center console. “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 had no understanding of, and possibly never will if they stick to pony education. A few minutes passed by while Ken and Kira had began to play a game of ole' Rock Paper Scissors. Ken kept losing to Kira for some reason, and they had already reached the tenth round. “Best 11 out of... Uh... 13!” Ken exclaimed. Kira smiled, her tail wiggling mischievously “Okay!” “I'm done setting it up!” Raze said to the two twin hybrids. They both forgot about their game immediately at those words. They gathered themselves up and stood before Raze whom had his index finger on a single button. “Both of you should stretch beforehand, okay?” Raze asked them as they both nodded. Ken stretched his arms out and then began to stretch his legs. He then cracked his knuckles and then put his body level to the floor and did some quick push-ups. 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. 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. Raze smiled down at them 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. Raze then pressed the button on the console once. The twins demeanor changed a little bit “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. “No, as in multiplication.” Ken and Kira tilted their heads in confusion. “Uh... it's advanced math.” Raze tried to explain, “Oh okay!” Ken said. “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. Raze nodded at them and then pressed the button three more times. 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. “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. Raze looked at them and watched them struggle to move, it reminded it of himself when he first began to do gravity training. Now for the catch, he will see if they can handle the gravity while attacking himself. “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, using the same words he had heard from before. 'Hey Raze, give them some sort of reward, they are kids after all! Like, promise them to go to the park or something!' Discord suggested. “If you manage to hit me in the face, we'll all go to the Park on Friday.” Raze finished, he moved to different side of the room away from the control panel. Raze then stood there, in his martial arts stance, waiting for them to make their move. “Just one attack? Alrighty!” Ken exclaimed. The little saiyan hybrid powered up, the child yelled out “Kaio-ken Times 2!” as a fiery red aura burst to life, causing the child's muscles to tense and buff. Ken charged at Raze with fist ready, through still slow from the gravity, the technique allowed him to bypass most of the weight. Raze saw Ken's fists and dodged around each one. 'Left, Right, Left, Left, Right, and a kick!' Raze thought, dodging all of Ken's punches, he used a small bit of ki to knock the hybrid child back. “Wha!” Ken gasped out as the Ki reinforced air hit him and knocked him toward the tile flooring. Raze looked in Ken's direction and at this moment, he noticed that Kira had disappeared. The full-blooded saiyan looked around before sensing a familiar energy... 'She's right behind me!' he felt the air off her fist nearly hit the back of his head only for Raze to disappear. “Aww! You used afterimage! No fair!” Kira exclaimed, she then attempted to whip around and attack him further, 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. Ken went by his sister's side, and in only a brief moment of a glance to each other, they raised their fist in the tradition power up, a fiery red aura powered up from Ken while Kira's aura remained in a white hue. “Let's do this nii-san!” Kira exclaimed. 'Now the real show begins.' Discord said as he ate on his cotton candy. 'Wha-' Raze was stopped from asking as both the twins advanced on him quickly. Their fists blazed as Raze blocked them. In perfect coordination with the each others twin, Raze found himself more on the defensive then he predicted he would be in. 'Wow their getting the hang of this gravity rather quickly!' The saiyan thought. Ken and Kira were both fighting 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 managed 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 sparred with each other and had worked together many times, thus making it easy for them to follow in each others attacks. 'They're tenacious, they're perfect coordination is giving me a slight challenge, but with their inexperience, lack of a proper physical teacher, and the heavy gravity, they are just throwing wild attacks, they won't get any advantage here.' Raze thought to himself as he continued to block the ferocious onslaught. Just as suddenly as they had attacked, the onslaught stopped as the twins backed off away from Raze. The two saiyan human hybrids didn't seem to speak a single word, yet... They looked to be planning something. 'They stopped? Wonder what they're planning...' Raze thought to himself as Discord chuckled. 'Wouldn't you like to know Raze?' Discord asked him sarcastically. 'Yes, yes I would.' Raze thought to Discord. 'That would be cheating also.' Discord said yet again. 'Fine, I don't need your help!' Raze thought back as he looked back at where the twins were. They looked back at Raze with a determined fire in their eyes. 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 'So they're trying at the same time from different sides.' Raze thought. Raze moved out, he ran off and then turned around to find the twins had disappeared 'Where did they go?!' He felt around for their Ki 'There!' The two twins were found on the ceiling running at him. Raze blasted more Ki reinforced air at them and they dodged it and flew down at him. The heavy gravity made them come down at him a lot faster than normal as at this moment Raze figured they had used it to their advantage. 'They got used to this gravity too fast!' Raze made a move to go back, but found himself hitting a wall 'Oh-no!' he thought as he turned back around to meet two fists of the twins to the face. Raze hit the wall, thankfully it was reinforced with Katchin, and 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. 'They sure did get you good!' Discord said as he laughed at Raze. 'Shut-up and eat your cotton candy!' Raze said as he tried to ignore the taunting laughs of the spirit of disharmony. “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 the door opened from an outside force. “I just got back from the studio and I-aah!” Lyra's words turned into a yell as gravity pressed her down into the floor. “Mommy!” yelled the twins as they went over to her. Raze walked over to the main console and turned off the gravity. Raze walked over to the twins and knelt down next to Lyra. “You alright?” He asked her. “What was that?!” She yelled at Raze. Raze fell backwards and put his hands over his ears 'Ow... What is with all this yelling?' He thought to himself. “Oops, I didn't mean to yell, but what was that?” She asked Raze as his hearing returned. “That was gravity that pulled you down and the floor caught you!” Raze said all to honestly. Lyra gave him a confusing look “So, is it some sort of saiyan technology?” She asked him. “Umm... No, it's human technology.” Raze said. Lyra 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 as she walked away with the twins following her at the mention of food. Raze was left with Discord floating beside him 'She's got a fire in her eye!' Discord thought to Raze. 'You sound scared Discord.' Raze thought back to Discord. 'No master of Chaos can be scared by a pony!' Discord exclaimed back to Raze. 'One does not simply say they cannot be scared by a pony' Raze thought back to Discord. 'That's a cheap reference and you know it Raze!' Discord huffed out as he crossed his arms and turned away. 'Totally worth it!' Raze said as he walked up to the TARDIS. Raze faced the door and then it opened on it's own. The Doctor walked straight into Raze. Raze hadn't moved an inch, but the Doctor had been unprepared and was knocked back onto his haunches “Raze you've got to watch where you stand! You're like a statue!” the Doctor exclaimed as he pushed himself back up. “I was coming to get you and Derpy because dinner is almost done.” Raze said as Derpy's head popped out from behind the Doctor. “I only just got back fifteen minutes ago and dinners nearly done? Lyra must be a good cook!” Derpy exclaimed as she walked out and made her way towards the house. “See all of you inside!” Derpy exclaimed as a door opened and then shut behind her leaving Raze and the Doctor alone. Raze was curious about the progress of the TARDIS and so he asked “How's the TARDIS coming along?” “It's coming along great! She'll be up and running in no time and by that I mean a lot of time!” The Doctor exclaimed as he began to walk off towards the backdoor of the house “You should enjoy yourself! Who knows what will happen tomorrow!” the Doctor said in delight as he opened the door and shut it behind him. Discord smile and thought 'He seems quite happy with himself, I wonder what he does for a living....' 'He hasn't even told me yet, but one day he will! I hope....' Raze thought as he walked up and did the same thing as the Doctor and disappeared into the house with Discord following him. ~After Dinner~ “I didn't think they had fish here!” Raze exclaimed as he pat his stomach while sitting on the couch. “Yeah, most ponies don't eat fish. But well, Ken and Kira require it for nutrients.” Lyra said. “Oh yeah.....” Raze sweat dropped, guess eating apples all the time can get you sick. But they were so good! “You're a really good cook Lyra!” Derpy exclaimed as she flapped her wings. “Thanks, I've practiced a lot.” Lyra replied happily. “Where's Ken and Kira at?” Raze asked Lyra. “I've sent them to bed, they looked awfully tired and exhausted.” Lyra said as she put her hoof on her chin “Speaking of that, isn't that chamber thing dangerous for them?” “They're tough little half Saiyans! I'm sure they'll be able to take it!” Raze said confidently. Lyra got up and walked over to Raze and looked him in the eye “Well, if they are hurt while you are supposed to be watching them... I'll make sure you end up worse than Ken or Kira! Got it?” she said as she glared at him. Raze scratched the back of his head and said “I got it!” 'Best not incur the wrath of a mother.' “Good, now I think you should be off to bed.” Lyra said as she made her way up the stairs. Raze looked at the couch and realized something. He turned to Derpy and asked “Where's the Doctor?” “Oh, he went back to the TARDIS right after eating” Derpy said as she reclined on the chair she was about to sleep on. “I guess that makes sense... Well, good night Derpy” Raze said as he found himself under a blanket and on the couch. “Night Raze” Derpy said as she cut off the lamp. ~Dream World~ “OH BOY! We're going to Ken's mind-scape tonight!” Discord exclaimed as soon as he had found Raze whom was driving a Ferrari with a nice pair of shades at the time. At the instance of Discord appearing inside the car, Raze ended up turning off the side of a cliff and ripping his door out and then flying into the air whilst the car exploded on the ground. “Aw man... That car was a classic of the ages.....” Raze said as he bemoaned the fate of the once beautiful hover car. “I didn't think you cared about cars Raze.” Discord said while floating beside Raze. “That's because you never asked.” Raze said with a blank look on his face. “I don't really like cars Raze, but motorcycles on the other hand fascinate me!” Discord said as he began to eat some cotton candy. “Well, okay then.... What were you saying before I crashed?” Raze asked him as Discord smiled. “I want to try to go to the mind-scape of Ken, I think I got the spell right.” Discord said to Raze. “Alright! Let's go!” Raze said as Discord snapped his fingers. ~Seal-scape~ Discord and Raze popped into existence in front of Goku's house and saw Chris splitting wood. “I think you got the spell wrong Discord.” Raze said as Chris turned to see them. “I think you're absolutely right Raze...” Discord mumbled. Chris put down the axe, turned around, and walked over to them. “So, what are you two doing here again?” Chris asked them as they hesitated. “Uh... Visiting! Right Raze?” Discord said as he gave him a glare that said 'play along!'. “Well, yeah! That's what we were doing, how are you?” Raze asked as he smiled big. Chris smiled “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. “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 trying to change the subject, however the look on Chris's face told him that he failed, it was hard to trick a smart person with such apparent lies. “You're just trying to change the subject. You were trying to get into Ken's mind!” Chris accused Raze. “Maybe! But that is just fine because it didn't work!” Raze exclaimed back as Chris cracked his knuckles. “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. “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. “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 a stance that Raze was unfamiliar with. “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. “I'm going to love this!” Discord exclaimed in excitement. ~Abrupt Ending!~ Author's Note This was fun to write and even funner to have edited several times! I hope everypony enjoyed this chapter! Roarin Out! A Sick Saiyan and Chicken Noodle Soup for the Soul~Journey of Saiyans Chapter 7~ ~Seal-scape~ 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. Raze made two spirit balls and threw them into the smoke. Suddenly he sensed Chris's energy appear right behind him, he instinctively turned around and caught Chris's leg. “What!?” Chris yelled in surprise as Raze began to spin in a circle while holding onto the Z-fighter, soon he then threw Chris toward the ground. But Chris caught himself easily and did some back flips before stopping, standing up in his previous stance. “I'm pretty good and you better watch out!” Raze exclaimed proudly as he brought a Spirit Ball down and sent it after Chris. Chris stood his ground and then right before the Spirit Ball could hit, he jumped into the air only to be followed by the attacks once more, he saw Raze moving his fingers about. “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. Raze charged into the smoke and appeared before Chris. He heard Chris say “Your fast I give you that!” But suddenly Chris appeared before him, “But your not the only one.” Raze quickly began on the offensive this time with well timed hits that were still blocked by Chris each time. Raze then pulled his fist back making Chris think he was about to deliver a heavy blow when instead Raze smirked “Gotcha!” Chris seemed to notice this and pushed his hands out, and let out a small yell that pushed Raze back with an extreme force of Ki Energy, causing Raze to fall down a few meters before he caught himself. But Raze continued to smirk as he knew his attack was coming. Suddenly, Chris was hit with the second Spirit Ball creating a massive explosion, Raze left the air and touched down on the rocky plateau. Raze looked up while thinking 'There's no way for him to have escaped that!' The smoke began to clear and Raze's face changed from a cool confidence to one of shock. Surrounding Chris was a technique that requires a lot of advanced Ki control, Chris had made an Energy Barrier at the moment of impact and he was completely unharmed the red barrier circled around the saiyan before dissipating into thin air. 'He knows how to make a barrier? This will make the match far more complicated!' Raze thought to himself as Chris floated down and touched the top of a plateau. Chris began to pat some of the dust off himself, “I must admit, 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 said as he stretched a bit, his neck popping as he moved it side to side. 'I should have known this wouldn't have been that easy, but this fight is really exciting!' Raze thought to himself as Discord cheered. “Go Chris! Go Chris! What a clever move you made!” Discord exclaimed as Raze glared at him. “Why are you cheering for him?! Aren't I the underdog here?!” Raze yelled at Discord. “Well, Yes. But I can see you fight anytime I want and seeing Chris fight is a once in a lifetime chance!” Discord said to Raze. “Well, that really is bull-” Raze had been about to end with a curse word only to have a knee to the stomach courtesy of Chris. “No cussing! My son may be able to hear you after all!” Chris said as Raze looked up. “That's bullsh-” Raze was about to say before he got an uppercut to the chin which threw him into the air. Chris looked up and put both his hands into the air “Take This!” Chris then fired rapid waves of Ki blasts at Raze. Raze recovered and looked down at the waves of Ki flying at him. Raze put both his hands together and began to charge a heavy amount of energy into them. A red ball of pure energy appeared in each hand and then grew to a bigger size. The air around him seemed to be flowing into the attacks itself. The entire sky glimmered for a second, but as it glimmered Raze could have sworn he saw strange markings all around it, complicated and artistic at the same time. But he choose to ignore it and continue his attack. Chris looked saw the sky momentarily change, his eyes widened in some sort of realization. He looked over to our hero. “Wait! Stop!” Chris pleaded. But Raze couldn't hear him at the height he was at and the sound of the gathering energies. “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 and flew into the sky meeting the massive explosion. Though Raze couldn't see him he heard the battle cry of Chris, suddenly Raze's senses screamed at him, a massive amount of energy greater than his own came from inside the explosion. Raze witnessed as his attacked seemed to glow and shrink, Raze was shocked by this turn of events 'Is he absorbing the attack? But how?!' He thought to himself. When Raze felt this energy, it felt the same as the energy that had appeared in his fight against Ken when he arrived in this dimension. “Whoa! This is the same energy I felt the first time from Ken!” He said to himself as the air seemed to become lighter around him. Chris had absorbed the energy of the attack and his transformation had ended. The landscape changed back to a large forest with Goku's house in the middle of said forest. Chris floated down to the ground and looked over to Raze as he finally touched down. ~End Music~ “Does that mean I win?” Raze asked with a smirk at how he won. But Chris looked at him. Well, more liked glared at him. This confused Raze as his head tilted ever so slightly side ways in testament to his confusion. When Chis continued his stare, then looked up to the sky, then re-continued it, Raze became annoyed by the lack of speech. “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 asked him in a little bit of anger. Raze was a little taken aback with this question. “What do you mean, we were fighting! Why wouldn't I do that?!” He said. “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 continued questioning. Raze got more annoyed with Chris's strange questions. Of course he knew! “It's on Ken of course, so what?” Raze then thought about it for a few seconds and came to his own realization about what Chris was getting at 'Oh....' Chris saw Raze's face change in what he thought was realization and he sighed “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 unknowingly to Raze. “Warm up? That can't be right! Right?” he asked Chris, how could it have all been a warm up?! That was a fight, a sparring match between warriors! Chris had given Raze one of the hardest fights he ever had in only those few minutes! “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?” “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 Tic Tac Toe games. “At least there are some things to ease my boredom, like watching the world through my son's eyes.” Chris finished as Raze realized something more. 'Man, being stuck in a seal must suck.' Raze thought. “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. It was some sort of voice, but he couldn't pick it up... “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?!” Raze questioned as the entire seal-scape disappeared around him. ~Reality~ “Raze, Raze, Raze, Raze, wake up already!” White light shined ahead as Raze fell onto the floor, “AHHHHHHH!” He yelled as he jumped up really fast. Raze looked around and found that Kira was looking at him curiously as her tail wiggled back and forth. “Raze, your awake! And your not sick!” Kira then cheerfully said, embracing him in a childish hug, which only reached to his waist really. Lyra stifled a giggle as well at the dumbfounded Raze whom hadn't said a word beyond a yell. He looked around and noticed that Bon Bon was also staring at him. 'Damn those big eyes!' Raze thought to himself, he looked down to see Kira hugging him, so he gently pushed her off. Discord chuckled at the scene 'You really should try keeping your balance!' Raze glared at the air space of Discord 'You had to end the dream abruptly!' He thought back to Discord. Kira noticed him glaring at the wall, for no reason, and looked in that direction. Her head tilted in confusion as she tried to figure out what Raze was looking at. “What are you looking at Sensei?” The little hybrid girl questioned the older saiyan. Raze had heard and shook his head briefly “Nothing! Uh... Just regaining my balance!” Raze said quickly to Kira, who believed him instantly, ah the naivety of the innocent. “Okay then!” Kira cutely said, her tail wagging side to side. Lyra looked at Kira and said “Go check up on your brother real quick, please?” She asked. “Okay Mom!” Kira replied as she quickly ran up the stairs. With her gone, Lyra took on a serious face that frankly just made Raze sweat with slight fear. She stared at Raze, who was still standing next to the couch he was sleeping upon. Lyra made her way over to the couch, still staring... Glaring, at Raze seriously. She patted a hoof on the couch as she sat on it herself. “Would you sit down for a second?” She demanded of him. Raze nodded sheepishly, and took a spot on the couch across from Lyra's position. “Alright! The reason why you were woken up sooner than usual is because Ken has come down with a fever.” she paused for a second to let that sink in, then continued. “Since you're here all day and haven't got much of anything to do, I was hoping you could stay here and watch out for Ken! Can you help us out?” Lyra asked him. Raze nodded, glad she just wasn't angry. “I can definitely do that! Training will make him feel better!” Raze exclaimed, he immediately proceeded towards the stairs to go fetch the ill-ed child. But before our hero could make it to the first step of the staircase, he was suddenly pulled back by a somewhat formidable magical force. He sensed the energy that had hold of him coming from the unicorn Lyra, of all places. “He can't train! It'll only worsen his condition! Ken can't even go to school right now because he'll probably be bed-ridden all day!” Some other emotion seemed to come from Lyra's tone besides slight anger at Raze. It sounded like worry? Raze couldn't tell just yet. “I was made to train every time I got sick, I felt awful at first, but eventually I sweat it out.” Raze said as he tried to start walking back towards the stairs. This time Lyra stood in front of him “No! None of that! Shame on you!” “I don't understa-” Raze was interrupted by Lyra. “He may be saiyan Raze, but he is still Human! Do you know anything about humans! How are you sure he'll recover from illness like a saiyan? Are you absolutely sure?” She questioned him in a serious manner. Raze paused at Lyra's words, memory of one of his team mates appeared in his head. He looked away from Lyra, ashamed on how little he knew of both his comrade's and the two twin's race of humanity. Lyra was right, he wouldn't know if either Ken's human or saiyan side was in charge of the child's body in illness recovery. For all he knew, training the fever off could likely cause Ken extreme illness and possibly... Kill him. Raze didn't want the guilt of a child's death, especially Ken's, on his conscious. Lyra noticed Raze's lack of response, and the sense of loss looming around him. “Raze? You alright?” She asked concernedly. This caused the saiyan to snap out of his trance. He smiled at the cyan unicorn and replied. “Yeah, I'm fine. I'll take of Ken for you!” He pronounced. Lyra nodded, not pushing the previous subject further. “Alright, I'll bring Kira to school now.” She made her way to the entrance of the stairway and called up. “Kira! Sweetie it's time for school!” Kira's head appeared from the upstairs hallway, looking down onto Lyra. “But mommy, nii-san is sick! I gotta take care of him!” Kira said. “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. With Lyra, Bon-Bon, and the little girl Kira gone. Raze sat next to the lower half of the twin bunker, where a pale sleeping Ken lied upon. He looked at the child's sleeping form, rattling his brain for how to really deal with this. “Ugh, I don't know anything about taking care of sick kids!” Raze said in frustration. He looked over to the invisible form of Discord. “Do you know anything about dealing with this?” Raze said as he pointed toward Ken, still sound asleep on the bed. 'Don't look at me! I don't know anything about human sickness!' The spirit of chaos said. “Can't you do some sort of fancy healing magic!?” Raze asked the spirit. Discord shook his head. 'Nope! Healing magic cures injuries not illness, and besides I don't know how to heal well! I'm a spirit of chaos, not a spirit of miraculous healing!' “Then you're useless to me!” Raze deadpanned. 'I wouldn't say useless, why not go ask somebody for help? Like Derpy or The Doctor.' Discord said. Something stirred, and Ken opened his eyes. He sat up, the bed sheets still covering him as he rubbed his eyes. He looked worse for wear, still sick with his energy sapped. Raze could tell because Ken's Ki was lower then normal. Two childish eyes looked up to Raze, who was now standing. “Raze... I'm hungry...” Ken said in a low and tired tone. 'Crap, I don't know the first thing about cooking.' thought the full-blooded saiyan. He looked down at Ken and replied. “Um, I'll go get you something I guess.” Before he could turn toward the door, Ken grabbed his pants with his hand. “Sensei, I want my dragon.” Ken said, pointing toward a large stuff animal that looked like an orange western dragon. “Yeah, okay.” Raze said, not questioning why a saiyan would want such a toy, he guessed it was Ken's human side or something. He grabbed the stuffed animal and gave it to Ken, who grasped it with both of his arms and laid back down, snuggling it as he rested. 'Well ain't that a cute sight, you're such a good father! Ya sure you don't have plans to have kids?' Discord said. 'Shove it, let's just go get Derpy.' Raze replied. Raze headed downstairs and just at the right moment, he saw Derpy enter the house. Smiling, Raze went over to Derpy. “Derpy! I need your help!” Raze said. “What would you need help with Raze?” she asked him. “I can cook for an adult, but I'm not sure what Ken would want to eat and that's why I need your help Derpy!” Raze said as Derpy's eyes did their usual one side up and the other side down thing. “Well, okay then!” Derpy had no idea what a Saiyan would normally eat, but she didn't want to disappoint Raze “I've got some muffin mix! Be back in a minute!” Derpy said as she galloped out the back door. 'I wonder if muffins help sickness at all....' Raze thought to himself as another voice answered his thoughts. 'What about chicken noodle soup?' Discord asked Raze. “Yeah! I'll get some chicken and.... I don't think I have any kind of noodles...” Raze finished as he face palmed. Raze immediately pulled out his capsule case and opened it 'Yeah! The emergency fridge!' he clicked the button and set it on the floor. A boom sound was heard and then a white fridge appeared. Raze opened it and looked inside. 'Nope, not this.... ' he thought to himself as he dug through an amazing amount of food. Raze continued to move stuff around in his fridge as Derpy reentered the home. “I got the mix!” she exclaimed as she went into the kitchen and immediately started a search through the cabinets of the kitchen for a bowl to put it in. Raze pulled out a pack of boneless chicken breast and said “This should be just fine, now I need a bowl of hot water to let it thaw.” and with that, Raze had gotten down a bowl and done just that. Raze then went upstairs to see if Ken needed anything in the meantime “Hey? Ken? You awake?” Raze asked as he walked into Ken and Kira's room. He heard a low “Yes” answer him and then Ken turned over so Raze could see him. “Are you doing alright?” Raze asked him to which Ken nodded. Raze smiled and said “That's great! I came up here to tell you that Derpy will be here in case you need anything and I'm going to find noodles!” Raze finished as Ken looked confused. “Why do you have to get... Noodles?” Ken asked curiously. “Chicken noodles soup! I got chicken, but no noodles... Oh! I also have to get some bits....” Raze trailed off... Ken stared a bit from his bed, before nodding. “Okay, Sensei” Ken said as he rolled back over with his stuff dragon and tried to go back to sleep. Raze closed the door and then went back downstairs. He entered the kitchen and saw Derpy putting Muffin batter into a pan “Hey Derpy?! Can I borrow some bits?” He asked her as she turned around and nodded by giving him a small bag out of nowhere in particular. “There should be about fifty bits in there, please try to not spend them all.” Derpy said to him as he thanked her and then went out of the kitchen. Raze then stopped himself and he turned around to poke his head back into the kitchen “Derpy, Ken knows that you're in charge until I get back!” Derpy turned back to Raze and said “Okay! I'll watch the little muffin!” As she set the timer on the oven and put the glorious magnificent muffins inside. “Alright, Thank you!” Raze said, going out the front door. ~The Dirt Road before the Market~ 'They continue to follow me...' Raze felt ponies stare at him as he went down the road 'I hate this so much....' Our hero thought. Still he continued down the path despite their stares, and looks of awe that faced his way. Discord, the spirit of chaos still hidden from view, then flew around and lazily floated down the path in front of Raze as he walked. 'Raze, you know what? Have you looked at the Canterlot Castle skyline yet? There are some mountains missing!' Discord pointed out to Raze whom looked in the direction and saw it himself. Indeed some mountains were missing, and some had signs of explosions, even some others had their tops blasted off. 'Well, now that you've mentioned it, that is a little weird! Wonder if had anything to do with you?' Raze asked Discord whom snorted. 'Really Raze? You think I would destroy mountains for no reason?' The spirit said with false hurt as he floated alongside the saiyan warrior. 'No, I mean the version of Discord in this world!' Raze said quickly as Discord scratched his chin. 'Actually that sounds plausible, Chris did say I had gotten out of my stone prison here and attacked the little munchkins... I'll be back in a second Raze!' With that Discord snapped his talons and disappeared instantly. “Great! Now I'm alone on this trip!” Raze then noticed how he was getting even weirder stares due to his talking with Discord. The saiyan began speed walking to find the noodles he needed faster. ~Entrance to the Main Market~ Our saiyan hero entered the main marketplace. Ponies went about left and right in a hurry to get the best deals and last pieces of products. Raze glanced throughout the area, looking for his specific product target. 'Noodles... Noodles... Noodles...' Raze repeated in thought. Raze looked all around and saw nothing that suggested that noodles even existed in the market. 'I must ask someone! Err... Somepony.... Wait, do noodles even exist in this Equestria!? Celestia I hope so!' He thought going toward the closest stand which just so happens to be Applejack's Apples. “Hey Applejack, do you know where noodles might be?” Raze said upfront to the orange pony, who looked up at our hero with wide eyes, before calming down and replying. “Now, Ah don't mean to be rude, but are ya related to those twin humans by any chance? Are ya an uncle or godfather?” Applejack said to the 'human' in front of her. “Um, yeah... I'm their godfather.” Raze said hesitantly. “Well, nice to meet ya partner! Your godchildren are best friends with my lil sis Applebloom. Though tell them not to try to punch any more of my apple trees again.” Applejack said as she shivered in remembrance of her once proud apple tree. “Yeah, I'll be sure to tell them.” Raze said with a grin. Suddenly Raze's stomach growled and he realized with a jolt 'I haven't eaten all morning!' Applejack heard that and said “I'll be, with that stomach you could out eat a Manticore on it's morning run!” She picked up an apple. “Want some?” “Well, yeah!” He threw five bits on the table “How about some apples for the road please?” Raze asked her as she swiped the bits and passed him a bag of twelve apples. “Can I ask you a question?” Raze asked. “Sure, what is it?” Applejack said. “Do you know where I can find noodles at?” Raze asked her. “Noodles? Um....” Applejack gave it a thought, but then waved her hoof around. “Ah don't know much about where ya could find em, why don't ya ask around some more, somepony's bound to know.” Raze nodded and said “Thanks! I guess....” He turned around and walked off 'Noodles on the brain and nowhere to look....' He looked at the next stand and saw Bon Bon standing inside, pieces of candy laid out in packs as she yelled at passing ponies about candy on sale. “Hey Bon-Bon!” He said, walking over to her. “Hey Raze!” Bon-Bon said as Raze put his hands on the top counter looking at Bon-Bon. “I need to know where to find some noodles! I'm making Chicken Noodle Soup tonight!” Raze said excitedly to the tan yellow pony. “Noodles... I think that stand is all the way over there.” Bon-Bon said as she pointed to a darker part of the market area “Yep, that's all I can tell you.” She finished as pulled out a rag and wiped her counter. “Thanks Bon Bon!” And with that Raze left to the dark side of the forc- I mean market place. “Wait, chicken?” Bon-Bon questioned. ~At the Heartstrings Residence~ “Ken! I made some muffins! Wanna try some? They're good for the soul!” Derpy said as she opened the door to the room he was in. She looked inside and got no response. 'Maybe he's asleep, I'll just leave a few muffins for him' She walked inside and saw the window was open, a light breeze flowed in and the curtains arched inwards. Derpy looked at Ken's bed and saw a big lump in the middle. She smiled and went over thinking 'He must have gotten cold and curled up under the covers. I'll just take a small look and...' She had pulled up the covers and found two pillows up under them. Derpy's first reaction was confusion and then a slight bit of worry eased itself inside her head. 'No reason to panic, maybe this is all just my imagination from the muffin smell!' She tapped herself on the shoulder with her hoof and then she realized 'Nope, not my imagination.' “Oh no! Where could he have gone?! I only had to watch him till Raze got back!” She galloped out the door, went downstairs, came bursting through the backdoor, then she then galloped to the TARDIS and burst her way inside that too. The Doctor was listening to the radio, working on bits and pieces of a damaged matrix, when suddenly a wild Derpy appeared, galloping toward him at breakneck speeds. “Doctor! Ken disappeared! I need help to find him!” The Doctor turned off the radio “Derpy, wha-” was all he could get out before Derpy dragged him out of the TARDIS, out the backyard, through the house, going pass the front door, and down the dirt road toward the marketplace. ~Dark Side of the Market~ Raze walked into the shadows towards the only light near the stand. As he got closer the chilling thoughts grew louder or maybe that was the apples he just ate. The thoughts soon began to dissipate as he finally stood in front of the stand. “Is anypony here?” Raze asked before thinking 'There I go again....' Nothing answered Raze until a few seconds later when a pony appeared from underneath the stand “Hello Stranger, what can I get for you?” “I was wondering if you had any noodles?” Raze asked the pony behind the front of the stand. “Actually, we do happen to have noodles. I'll get them for you.” The pony said as he pulled out a bag of egg noodles. “Thanks! How much are they?” Raze asked the pony. “I'll allow you to have them for free because you're one of the weirdest things to walk through here in a while.” the pony said to Raze whom smiled. “Wow, thanks!” Raze said as he picked up the bag of noodles. The pony them coughed a little and said “We also have cookies, if you're interested.” he flashed an almost evil grin at Raze when he finished that extra detail. Raze looked at the plate of cookies and balanced his options 'On one hand, I could have cookies and on the other.... Yep cookies!' Raze reached out and grabbed one and then ate it voraciously “That was great! What's your secret?” “My grandmother's recipe! She truly was an amazing cook!” the pony said as another hand grabbed a cookie, this hand was smaller. “Ken? What are you doing out of bed?!” Raze asked a now sheepish looking child Saiyan. “Grabbing a cookie!” Ken smiled with big puppy dog eyes at Raze, but it didn't- well almost worked. Raze looked down at Ken with a little fire in his eye's “I told Derpy that you would be in bed and now you're not...” “But I'm here! What's wrong with that?” Ken asked as Raze shook his head. Raze walked away with thoughts of semi terror going through his mind 'Derpy is probably worried out of her mind, not mentioning what Lyra... Will... Do...' Raze's thoughts stopped there as he turned around and looked at Ken in panic. “Your Mom is going to murder me! We're going to Bon-Bon right away!” Raze yelled, he grabbed Ken, putting the small hybrid child under his arm and started making his way quickly to the direction of Bon-Bon's stand. “Waiaiaiat! I wanna finish my cookie!” Ken pleaded. ~Jump Cut to Derpy and The Doctor running to the Market~ “Maybe Ken went here!” Derpy yelled as the Doctor followed her. “Let's hope that's the case!” was all the Doctor could say as he was continuously dragged down the dirt road. Derpy galloped into the market dragging a confused Doctor and all the ponies stared at them including herself. The Doctor noticed this and pulled Derpy back “Stop Derpy! There's another you over there! If you talk to her, something bad will happen! It could cause a time paradox!” The Doctor said in a serious voice. Derpy frowned and looked over the Doctor's shoulder “She's literally right behind you and not even ten inches away!” “I heard that.” The other gray Pegasus said as she looked at them from both sides. “Uh... Hi?” Derpy said as she tried to look away while the Doctor jumped away from the other Pegasus. “We we're just going, right Derpy?” The Doctor asked as the other Pegasus looked at him completely. “Why? You two look afraid of me! Is it because of my eyes? And why do you look like me?” The other Pegasus asked them with an angry look. “No Ditzy! We're not afraid of your eyes! And the reason why she looks like you is... a very complicated explanation.” The Doctor said as Ditzy looked at Derpy in a confused way. “We don't have time for this! We need to find Ken, Derpy! Come on!” The Doctor said as he began to drag her away from Ditzy. 'This has been the weirdest day ever.' Ditzy thought to herself as she continued to think about the two weird ponies she had just met. 'I won't chase them down, but I'm going to find out about them sooner than later.' The Doctor looked around and noticed Raze, who was seemingly trying to explain something, and Ken, who was munching on a rather large cookie quite innocently, standing at Bon-Bon's stand. “Derpy! They're right there!” he exclaimed as Derpy turned around with a big smile. “YES, I mean, NO!” Derpy yelled as she galloped over to Raze whilst trampling the Doctor into the ground. ~Raze's Point of View~ “And that's the whole situation Bon-Bon!” Raze said as quickly as he could to the very puzzled pony behind the stand. “That's something Raze, I suppose I'll have to tell Lyra and see what she says about it.” Bon Bon said as she wiped the counter of her stand from the small cookie that Ken joyfully continued to savor. “Ken!” yelled an ecstatic and familiar derped pony. Ken had turned to the noise and found himself being tackled by a big gray Pegasus. “Wha- oof!” Ken muttered as he was gripped by Derpy. The almost fully eaten cookie fell in a puddle. “No, my cookie!” Ken cried out, before he started doing tears. “I want another cookie Raze-sensai! Derpy made me drop my cookie!” Raze looked at them and thought 'Sentimentality... And cookies.' He finished as he turned away from the sulking Ken and relieved Derpy. “Well, this is a happy ending right?” The Doctor asked as he trotted over to Raze. “I don't know... We still gotta tell Lyra about all this, avoid her wrath, and then if he's not in trouble... We'll go to the park once we get Kira...” Raze said as Derpy and Ken finally rejoined the group. “Sensaaai, I want a cookie!” Ken whined. “No cookie! You've disobeyed me!” Raze said, pointing his finger at the human saiyan child. “But... but... You never said not to go outside.” Ken said. “I might not, but... You could have at least told Derpy! You saw how worried she was!” Ken turned toward Derpy, a little shame apparent in his emotion. “I'm sorry Derpy, I don't wanted to make you worry at all, promise!” “It's pronounced, didn't want, and don't worry about it Ken. Just don't try to scare me like that again.” Derpy said with a smile. Ken's face brightened. “I won't!” the hybrid child replied. “Yeah, everypony, I know we're going through all this emotional stuff, and you might wanna get on this right away but... Lyra! 7 o'clock sharp!” Bon-Bon said quickly. “Hide Ken and Raze!” Derpy said, “No, hide Ken and Derpy! She's smaller than Raze!” The Doctor said. Quickly helping Raze push both Ken and Derpy underneath Bon-Bon's booth. “Hey!” “Shh Ken! You don't want mommy to find out your not in bed right?” Raze explained to the eight year old, making Ken shut his mouth and be quiet while he was placed underneath and Raze pulled down the cloth. All three, Bon-Bon, Raze, and The Doctor. Stood idle and acted as if Ken never got out of the house. Lyra approached them with a raised eyebrow in suspicion. “Raze, what are you doing here?” Lyra questioned curiously. “Buying some noodles for the soup I'm making for Ken! Chicken noodle soup, good for illness so I've heard from some... Friends of mine.” Raze said the last part almost whispering. “Chicken noodle soup? As in, having chicken in it?” Lyra said, but no disgust was found in her voice at the hearing of meat. “Yeah? What's the matter?” “I don't think Ken or Kira has ever had something other than fish meat.” A pause... “WHAT!?” Both Raze, and The Doctor yelled. “How can any human live without tasting bacon!?” The Doctor exclaimed. “How can any sane being that can eat meat, live without a variety of meat!?” Raze yelled in shock and terror. “Will you both, SHUT UP!” Lyra roared at the both of them, her eyes giving out the glare, not just any glare, the glare of an angry mother. It was so frightening that both the Saiyan and Time Lord shut up immediately. “Now, I don't mind Raze cooking soup for Ken. I'll bring something for us ponies to the house. Maybe a bit extra considering how much I've known Saiyans to eat.” She said, glancing at Raze as she said the word Saiyan. “Until then, you better get back to the house. I'm not sure if Derpy has her hands full with Ken or not.” Raze nodded. “Yeah, sure.” With that, Lyra left them. Everyone sighed in relief as both Derpy and Ken came forth from under the stall. “We going home?” Ken questioned. “Absolutely.” The Doctor replied. A few hours went by, and something happened. Raze cooked Chicken noodle soup, which both himself and Raze ate and enjoyed, though The Doctor didn't like that fact that he couldn't eat it. Lyra came with food for the ponies of the house which they ate. Then went and picked up the little saiyan girl, Kira from school. Kira arrived at the house instinctively seeking 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. More time passed before night rose and sun fell. Now Raze sat on the couch as he looked at the two twins playing with a set of toys to amuse their human half. Until Kira stood up and said. “Raze, play with us!” Raze ingeniously said. “Huh?” ~End of Chapter~ Author's Note Took a while to get this out, but it was worth it in the end. I hope everyone enjoys it and see ya later. A Dark Side to Every LightCrossover 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. 'This is the definition of boring... I could be training or meeting people, but I just can't say no to these Twins... What's wrong with me?' Raze thought as he watched them prepare something possibly deadly to his emotions. Kira pouted, and decided to pull out the big guns. Her small saiyan tail began wiggling behind her adorably, and her eyes googled 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. 'I meant to say no! Stop talking mouth!' Raze thought to himself in desperation. But it had already been said, now he would have no choice, but to continue on this mission. He had to play... "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. 'So they want a castle? I'll give them a castle!' Raze thought to himself. Discord floated next to him and was laughing about the whole situation, "Maybe you should play, "Pony Princess" with them while you're at it!" 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. 'That cuteness is really overwhelming... But at least it's over, now I can go to sleep, or train. I should at least put them to bed first.' Raze thought as he began his last job as Lego master. Raze placed them into the twin bunker beds, shut the lights off, and left the room. Raze walked downstairs to find the entire group of ponies conversing while playing a nice game of poker. Derpy was currently all over the place and her moves were unpredictable as a result. Lyra was looking as shifty as ever and she had sweat pouring down her face. The Doctor had the look of cool confidence as he held his cards, while Bon-Bon was of a monotone approach. Raze looked at them all in confusion, “Really?! You have me be dragged up stairs and you’re playing poker?! I’m great at poker, I beat lots of people and by people, I mean aliens!” “Well, somepony had to watch them.” Bon-Bon said. “Besides, we never took you for a poker player, you seem more like one of those excessive body builders.” The Doctor said as took a look around the table. “Are you all in?” The doctor asked the ponies. “I’m not an excessive body builder! I eat muffins... Sometimes! But, apples….” Raze’s thoughts turned toward the red greatness that came from Sweet Apple Acres. ‘Yeah, that’s the stuff…’ He thought to himself. “When he said apples, I thought he was Kira and how she loves frost-tarts,” Bon-Bon said to Lyra, who giggled in agreement. Derpy looked at them all, somehow, “Are we going to throw down or not?! Let’s do it! I’m ready for you all! Give all of your bits to me!” The Doctor frowned, “Sorry, she kinda took to the game a bit more than me.” Discord floated beside Raze, ‘You know, I never thought of it that way. Saiyans are a little obsessive, but I still enjoy the chaos you bring me each day! Never a dull moment!’ ‘I think you need to watch yourself.’ Raze thought at the spirit. ‘What are you going to do about it? Dislike me? That’s hardly intimidating and much less scary. Besides, you can’t touch this! I’m the ghost inside this house!” Discord said to his Saiyan friend. Raze tried to grab the spirit and found his hand went right through the body, ‘Oh well, I should probably just watch the game...’ Bits were thrown on to the center of the table, counting as high as two hundred. The tension was high, each pony expecting to win over the other. The ponies had fires in their eyes and the whole night had finally come down to this last moment. “Alright everypony, lay’em on the table.” Derpy said to the others as she put her cards down. Everypony else followed suit and Lyra seemed to be in a state of shock. The Doctor was looking over at Derpy’s hand. “You only had two pairs, that wouldn’t have done much at all.” The Doctor said to her. “But you have three of a kind!” Derpy pouted at her luck. Bon-Bon shook her head, “I had three of a kind too, so what did Lyra have?” Raze and Discord had leaned into look at the table, “I wanna see!” Raze said with a small amount of excitement. “R-r-r… “ Lyra sputtered. “What, can you speak louder Lyra?” Bon-Bon asked. “R- royal flush! Ha! I win! I won!” Lyra yelled in excitement, jumping from her chair and around the table. “I won! I won! I can’t believe I actually won for the first time ever!” Discord shook his head, ‘I could beat all of you at poker.’ Raze arched an eye, ‘Without cheating?’ Discord nodded, “Maybe… I never said how.” The Doctor smiled, “Nice job there, Lyra! I didn’t expect it!” “I know right!?” Then Lyra’s eyes widened and she brought her hoof to her mouth. “Oops… The twins are asleep, I shouldn’t yell,” she said. Derpy looked around while frowning, “I guess there’s always next time…” The Doctor smiled and nuzzled her, “Don’t be too down about it, I’m sure we’ll be playing sometime soon.” “Okay!” Derpy said to the Doctor as everypony began to get up from the table. “I’ll be going back to work on fixing the TARDIS, it’s 9:45, so I should have a while to work on it. Though I could use some help, if anypony would like to join me.” The Doctor said as Derpy began to smiled before Raze jumped up. “I want to help!” Raze said quickly. The Doctor looked at him weirdly, “Uhhh… You can’t help.” “Why not?!” Raze asked him. “Ummm… It’s special help! You are not apart of the equation on this one.” The Doctor said quickly as Raze frowned. Derpy smiled, “It’s definitely special alright. So special…” Raze was confused even more by that one, “What does that have to do with it?” Lyra jumped into the conversation, “He probably means that you don’t have the… Necessary knowledge to be of help,” she said. Bon-Bon also got in on this one, “Don’t worry Raze, I have something you can help me with.” Bon-Bon’s grin seemed almost malicious. “I need an adult?” Raze said as the Doctor looked at him weirdly for a second time. “You’re an adult.” He finished with a small grin. Derpy then opened her wings and grabbed the Doctor, “And you’re going with me to the TARDIS.” The Doctor had no disagreement with this and they were gone leaving Lyra, Bon-Bon, and Raze alone, but not quite alone as a Spirit of Chaos was still floating invisibly. Discord laughed, “Either he’s going to discover something new, or I’m just chaotic” Raze was looking glum as he cleaned up after the ponies who had played the card game without him. Bon-Bon was at least washing the dishes, but that did little to comfort him. “I thought that I would learn something new, instead I’m cleaning up after a game that I never played… This kind of sucks…” Raze said to the floor as he mopped the floor. Bon-Bon shook her head, “If you’re going to stay here, you’re going to have to pay your rent.” “She’s touchy!” Discord said to Raze who shook his head. Raze nodded in agreement, ‘You’re absolutely right this time, Discord.’ “I’m right?! By the Super Saiyan Gods! I’ll have to celebrate, where is an automated Pinkie Pie when you need one?!” Discord asked while phasing through different walls of the house. Bon-Bon saw Raze slacking off and looking at walls, this slightly miffed her, grabbing the nearest frying pan it soon came crashing down Raze’s skull. *BANG* Raze hit the floor and grabbed his head, the pain sunk into his very mind as he began to roll around, “What did you do that for?! OWWW!” Bon-Bon smiled evilly, “What you talking about Raze? The only thing I saw was a lazy worker.” “You’re lucky that the Twins look up to you, or that worker would be the last thing you saw!” Raze yelled as the pain had begun to subside slightly. Like magic, multiple frying pans seemed to suddenly appear before Raze’s vision. “Is that a threat?” Raze immediately shook his head, “No Ma'am!” Raze quickly jumped up and mopped faster. Bon-Bon smiled, “And when you’re done, be a dear and place those frost-tarts on the counter in a good hiding place.” Raze smiled, “I’ll put them in the TARDIS and they’ll be lost in time! Never to be found again! How’s that?” “That’s fine,” Bon-Bon replied absently. After the exchange, Raze finished mopping the entire floor of the kitchen. He put up the materials used to mop and then grabbed the Frost-Tarts. Raze quickly got outside the house and closed the door. He breathed a sigh of relief, ‘Thank goodness it’s all over...’ Raze turned to the left and a party cannon sent spiritual streamers all over the area. Raze fell over and a spiritual version of Pinkie Pie appeared before him, “HEY! Did we surprise you because you totally look surprised! I don’t even know how I’m here, but it’s gotta be Discord! OH! Raze, everyone is missing you! We’d really like it if you came home! An-” Discord silenced her with an arm, ‘That’s enough of that, you’ve served your purpose, Pinkie.’ Discord snapped his fingers and she disappeared from view, ‘You should have seen the look on your face, Raze! It was hilarious! Now we should probably hide those Frost-Tarts away from the TARDIS.’ “But why? It’s like right there!” Raze said while pointing to the obvious blue box. Discord smiled and snapped his fingers that disappeared and reappeared on Raze’s shoulders, ‘Because they’re using the front room.’ Raze was confused as he was dragged away by floating non attached limbs, “What does that have to do with anything? I know they’re in the front room, that’s where all his gadgets and wires are! They said that’s where they’d be fixing it!” Discord shook his head, ‘They’re fixing it alright.’ Raze had been dragged all the way back to the door and had phased straight through it thanks to Discord, ‘Now figure out a better place!’ Discord disappeared to wherever he disappears to leaving Raze confused and with a box of Frost-Tarts in his hand. Raze looked around, spotting the Gravity Chamber he had placed the day before, “That’ll do I guess.” Raze entered the Gravity Chamber, flicking the light switch on as he stepped onto the tile flooring. Glancing around, Raze spotted the main control system and immediately went for that. ‘This oughta keep her out, I’ll just unscrew one of the panels and put it inside. Of course I’ll keep it away from the more important panels to keep the place from exploding.’ Raze thought to himself as he realized that he had no screwdriver. ‘Huh… Guess that wouldn’t work either… OH! Right, the fridge!’ Raze thought quickly as he pulled his capsule case out. He quickly picked out the right one and clicked it. Raze threw it onto the floor and an instant mini fridge appeared out of a large cloud of smoke. He quickly opened the fridge door and put the frost tart box inside. Raze closed the door and turned it back into it’s capsule form. He then put it all up again and smiled, ‘That’s the end of that… Guess since I’m here, training is on the schedule!’ With that, he began to train for the next hour at three hundred ten times normal gravity while using Kaioken only. Raze stood panting as he tapped the last button that was on the flying droid, “Wow… That was pretty intense, but it’s all over for now…” He went for the console. He tapped the keys on the main keyboard and turned off the gravity simulation. Raze sighed as he untied some of the weights he had strapped to his back. They hit the ground with a loud slam, but the floor remained uncracked. “All right! I’m feeling better already!” Raze said as he jumped around and twisted through the air. Raze landed on his feet and turned toward the door. He quickly went up the stairs and hit the showers. Raze finished the shower in record time and was walking down the stairs within the next minute or so after brushing his teeth. His hair remained unbrushed so he could keep his bed head look. Raze wore a pair of white boxers and white tank together as he found himself inside the living room. He saw a blanket and pillow that appeared to be freshly cleaned with a small note on top of the mini pile. Raze took the note and read it. Thanks for helping clean up after the poker game. I’ve taken the liberty of cleaning your sheets to return the favor. Don’t think that this means you get special favors. Bon Bon ‘That was nice of her!’ Raze thought with a smile as he unfolded the blankets and put the pillow on a nice spot where laying his head felt just right. He proceeded to lay down and stayed awake for the next thirty minutes or so before succumbing to his training tiredness. He snored soon enough. ~Dreamscape~ Raze flew through the air while being followed by several energy attacks. No matter where he went, they continued to follow him with precise movement. He turned quickly, firing ki blasts at the energy attacks which caused them explode harmlessly in midair. Raze looked around for the enemy who had fired them, but found that the land was changing around him already. ‘Here we go again… I swear I didn’t eat anything bad this time!’ Raze thought as the world stopped terraforming. He found himself standing on branches far higher than any normal tree he’d ever seen before, ‘This is different from the chocolate stuff, maybe Discord has a new taste? I’ll have to ask him.” Raze flew off in search of the Draconequus that was likely the one behind all of this terraforming going on his mind. The trees seemed to be changing shape as he flew past them. Once they were full of life, but now, as he went further on, they shifted into gray husk forms of dead trees. ‘This is getting kinda strange, I’ve gotta a bad feeling about this...’ Raze thought . He continued his way, the amount of trees thinning out as he approached an unknown destination. An open area greeted his sight, two black dots over in the distance of his vision. As Raze got closer he recognized Discord and another familiar sight. ‘It can’t be! He’s gone!’ Raze sped up toward the two. Discord was floating with what appeared to be translucent shield surrounding his body while the other stood undefended, but certainly more prepare for a physical altercation. ‘No mistaking it! That’s Fhaze!’ Raze thought while he landed onto the ground. Fhaze turned to him with a smile, or it could have been a sociopathic grin. Raze didn’t know the difference at that exact moment. “Well, look who decided to show up! Guess you’re just going to give me your body rather than have me chase you down. I don’t blame you in the least, but I don’t happen to be interested in you at the moment.” Fhaze said while turning away from Raze. Raze was confused again for the second (or third) time that night, “What?! Then what are you looking for?” Fhaze grinned, “I’m more interested in the little brat you met beforehand. I’ve been watching from the back of your mind and I’ve also felt the energy coming off you when Discord returned you to this body. There’s a power inside him that he can’t even fathom.” Raze tilted his head, “Now that you mention it, there was something strange about that door….” Raze shook his head quickly. “Not that I’m going to let you get anywhere near it!” Raze exclaimed to Fhaze who smirked with indifference. “Who’s to say that you can stop me? After all, Discord hasn’t been sitting in a barrier made by himself.” Fhaze said as Raze’s eyes widened. Fhaze nodded, “This is my energy and I’ve been going through his mental barriers quite easily, soon he’ll teleport me to that tyke’s mind and I can gain his power. Too bad you won’t be able to do anything to stop me, since you’re going to be stuck over here!” Fhaze flew at Raze and his fist connected with Raze’s stomach causing Raze grab his stomach. Then Fhaze kicked Raze in the side of his face causing him to fly a few feet away. Fhaze grinned as he watched his hated enemy stop on the ground, “It feels good to win for once or the second time. No more lucky breaks I suppose.” Fhaze walked back over Discord, “You seem more than ready to listen to my commands, so let’s get on with it. Take me into the brat’s mind, or you will suffer.” Discord began to charge his magic into his hand and just when all seemed to right for this very evil moment in time. Fhaze felt two arms lock him in a full nelson. “What?!” Fhaze yelled as they all three disappeared in a flash. ~Ken’s Mind Before the Door~ A bright flash of magic shined out among the white and black doors as three invaders appeared before it. Raze was still holding Fhaze who had begun to struggle against the lock Raze had on him. “Dammit! Let go of me! You insolent bastard!” Fhaze yelled while continuing his rampant movements. Discord shook his head as he touched the doors, “Hmmmm? What in the world just happened? I feel like I got hit by ten Celestias…” Discord looked around while rubbing his left eye, “Hmmm… Nothing out of the ordinary seems to be happening. We’ve got some sunshine and rainbows, Raze and Fhaze are kicking the tartarus out of each other, and I’m standing next to black and white doors…” Discord played with his moustache, “Something about that doesn’t seem right…” He went over his normalities once again, “OH! It’s the Raze and Fhaze part! I’m getting senile if I think that’s normal!” While Discord contemplated his insane thoughts, Raze was finally kicked off his evil counterpart. Fhaze stood up completely and seemed to have veins coming out of his forehead in rage. “There’ll be a special place for you when you die, Raze!” He yelled, but Raze only smiled. “You’d think so, but I’m not going to let that happen!” Raze said as Fhaze began to calm down a bit. ‘I’d best not let my rage takeover, best to stay calm in this situation.’ Fhaze thought to himself. Raze stood there as Discord joined him to have them stand side by side, “Yeah, we won’t let you take over this munchkin’s mind!” Fhaze smirked, “Discord, you couldn’t even match me before. You got lucky with those clouds, but now we’re somewhere completely different! Out of your element since neither of us controls this battleground!” Raze raised a clenched fist in front of himself, “We’re always going to be strong enough to take you down, I won’t let you harm anyone!” Fhaze stood his ground with confident smirk and then charged at them. Discord and Raze split up as Discord summoned several floating clouds of cement. They all attempted to catch Fhaze who move around them with a lot more precision than he had last time. “Raze, he got better?! How is he dodging my clouds?!” Discord asked Raze who was analyzing Fhaze at the moment. “He appears to be at the same battle strength as me!” Raze said as Fhaze struck Discord down into the ground. The ground broke apart beneath him as Fhaze came in for a landing that would send both of his monstrous boots straight into Discords ribs. Fhaze was stopped when a kamehameha wave intercept him and sent him into the door causing a large explosion to rock the door. Fhaze appeared from the smoke with revenge on his mind. He pulled back his right fist and charged at Raze who also charged while pulling his left fist back. They collided causing a massive shockwave to tear up the ground and throw them both back at high speeds. Raze hit the ground and it crumbled as he slid back. Fhaze hit the door so hard that it broke the seal upon it and it began to open. A dark feeling swept over the three fighters as it spread out from the door’s entrance. Fhaze hit the ground, but got up immediately to see that the door had opened, ‘Perfect! Now to leave these fools behind!’ Fhaze disappeared into the doorway leaving Raze and Discord to their own devices. Discord was the first to get up and immediately went over to Raze, “Come on! You gotta get up! He’s going further inside!” Raze turned over and pushed himself up, “Okay… Got it.” Once they were both up, they charged in to stop the evil fiend. Raze made it to the next door, uh... Gate, to see Fhaze standing directly in front of it. He stopped directly in front of Fhaze who turned to them. “I suppose it wouldn’t have been that easy to be rid of you. Well? Let’s finish this!” Fhaze said as the room became silent. Raze hadn’t even heard Discord as he joined them within the dark confines of the room. The room was silent as they stared each other down when the silence was broken as a person appeared before them all. ”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. Fhaze looked over in surprise at the newcomer, ‘Another one?! His energy never came up! I thought it was the kid’s based on what I felt when Raze had walked out of the TARDIS! Damn, How am I going to handle this one?!’ Raze looked over for a second at Chris before deciding to try and explain everything later. He had to stay focused for right now. Discord however was a bit more worried about the situation now more than he had been before. 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 quickly while not turning his back on the real enemy. Discord noticed that Chris was analyzing Fhaze at the moment and decided that he would also worry about the situation later. Fhaze laughed with arrogance, “Like I give a fuck about a little snot-nosed brat!” Raze gritted his teeth in anger “Ken is a hundred times better than you could ever be!” Fhaze frowned in annoyance, “You should’ve been training, not babysitting a bunch of weakling brats!” Fhaze retorted as Raze clenched both of his fists. ‘Damn! The Twins didn’t do anything to deserve having to deal with this! I’ll have to finish off Fhaze quickly!’ Raze’s foot dug into the ground beneath them. ‘That’s right! Get angry! Lose some control, Raze! While he’s being angered, he’ll attack me and I can knock him out quickly!’ Fhaze thought to himself in victory. Raze heard Chris begin to talk from behind him, ”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.” Fhaze replied with a smirk. “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 pushed them forward to form a technique that seem to draw in the air around it. “Flash Cannon!” Raze yelled 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. Darkness spread into the very souls of the heroic fighters as the gate opened completely. Raze shivered a bit as he felt his mind weigh down under failures that tried to bring themselves to the forefront of his own mind, ‘No! Gotta focus!’ Raze broke out of the spell by powering himself up a little bit. Fhaze looked at the broken gate with a huge grin on his face, ‘Well, that works too!’ “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. ‘I can’t believe… Actually, I can totally believe that he would use me to open this.’ Raze thought as he looked over at Discord who had been sitting there the entire time with stars glowing in his eyes. “That was amazing! So much power! The emotions! If only I had a camera capable of recording this action!” Discord exclaimed as Raze shook his head smacked his forehead. “Can you just focus?! We need to go!” Raze yelled at Discord who nodded his head quickly. “Of course, Raze! Let’s get going!” Discord said while flying off in the right direction for once. Raze and Discord had finally found their ways into the room and stood next to Chris within seconds. They heard loud banging sounds and then saw Fhaze openly bashing the gate repeatedly with his fists. Raze felt the air accelerate in speed as he realized that Chris had left them both. Raze looked at Fhaze only to see Chris appearing beside him and then kicking 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. ‘He seems a bit stronger than Raze which means that I may not have the strength to keep up with him. At least until I reach that power source ahead of me! I’ll knock him out of the way quickly!’ Fhaze thought with a quick nod. 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 finally made his move, 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. ‘Alright! Combo time!’ Raze thought with smile. Raze watched as Chris pulled his fist downward and then smashed it upwards into Fhaze’s jaw. This action caused the villain to be sent flying into the ceiling, which in turn made him crash face first onto the ground once the force that him him upwards had worn off. The ground split open under the force of the now lying body of Fhaze. ‘That should have knocked some sense into him.’ Raze thought while waiting for any movement to be made from below. 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! Dammit! Why do I have to deal with such idiocy?! You’re both getting on my nerves!” Fhaze exclaimed at the two heroes. Raze smirked as he was assured that victory would be his this day, “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. “Damn!” 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.” Raze heard Chris say as Fhaze seemed to stop showing off his angry face. “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. ‘I won’t turn away from this! No matter what power that other Saiyan might have!’ Fhaze smiled insanely as he thought up a devilish idea. 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. Raze watched as he summoned energy into the compact green ball, ‘Damn, we have to stop it!’ “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. Smoke filled the room and obstructed Raze’s vision. He could still sense Chris and Fhaze despite that small annoyance. He also heard a loud screech as he felt the ground shake beneath them all. Raze knew what that sound could entail, but he didn’t want to think it happened. 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,” Raze looked at the open gate and his eyes widened, ‘Damn! He did manage to open it!’ Raze raised an eyebrows after hearing what Chris had said, “Mister Nice Guy? You call kicking him around being nice? I’d hate to see what you do to guests!” Raze didn’t hear a response and instead felt a massive power increase. He turned to Chris and saw that he was the one gathering the strength. ‘Woah! What in the world is that transformation suppose to be?!’ Raze questioned as the energy grew even further. Discord’s eyes twinkled while he threw more popcorn into his gaping maw, ‘This is getting good!’ Chris’ golden aura spiked outward, his muscles buffing and his form growing bigger as Chris’ Ki energy output increased drastically. The Z-fighter raised his head, gritting his teeth as Raze felt Chris’ power increase by another multiple of ten. It appeared Chris had finished when the Z-fighter let loose a breath of air that seemed to calm his muscle tension. ”Ascended form, if your wondering about it, Raze.” Chris explained, before he flew toward where Fhaze had left off too. Raze had nothing to say to that while he stood in one area still being in shock, ‘I- I- I didn’t win that fight at alllllllll…’ Discord was amazed as well if it wasn’t obvious before, “Are you just going to stand there, Raze? Or are you just going to keep gaping in confusion?” Raze punched himself in the forehead and got the old brain juice flowing again, “Thanks, Discord!” He flew off quickly in search of Chris while Discord himself chose to teleport further inside. Raze got inside the room just in time to see Chris hit Fhaze with a highly concentrated ki blast. The attack sent Fhaze flying backward toward Raze. 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 had just watched the whole exchange and if he had a tail, it would be wagging by this point, ‘I really wanna to do this kind of stuff… So amazing!’ Raze felt his saiyan instincts begin to heat up and he prepared to join the battle himself. Raze flew forward only to see Fhaze’s body land before him and make a indent into the floor, ‘Well, maybe I don’t have to go so far...’ 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. Raze looked over to see that Chris was already moving to stop the attacks. 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 it their mark. The explosion rang back towards the fighters and dust spread outward in dark clouds. Chris and Raze looked at the gate at nearly the same moment and promptly breathed sighs of relief. Raze smiled, ‘It didn’t open! Great!’ Raze looked up to see that Chris was already moving in for another attack. 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 continued rolling 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. Fhaze saw this and ran to try and buy himself more time to dodge. “Shit!” 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. ‘This is getting ridiculous! He’s too strong and I’m losing too much strength! Not to menti-’ Fhaze felt another energy near the side of his body. 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. ‘Gotta go fast!’ Raze thought to himself while moving his legs as quick as possible to try and dodge the hits. 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. ‘Ouch! That hurts!’ Raze thought to himself while lying upon the floor. 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 is slightly more weakened now, so I should go ahead and kill him off while I have the chance! But if the other Saiyan steps in, then I’m not sure what to do! Dammit, I was only going to have to deal with Raze! Why can’t this be easier?!’ Fhaze thought angrily to himself while Raze moved himself up. “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. ‘I couldn’t have asked for a better solution to my problems! The other Saiyan just sends their weakest link in like it was the easiest decision in the book! Thank you mysterious other!’ Fhaze thought while continuing his attack. 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. They stood there for a few seconds while Raze felt himself grow weaker, ‘I’m starting to feel a little heavy. Tch… I don’t know if I can keep this up.’ ‘How is he still managing to block me? He should be nearly out of energy by now!’ Fhaze pushed more ki into his leg as he felt Raze’s grip loosen. Discord watched with anticipation as Chris prepared his attack, ‘This speaks True Kamehameha to me in so many ways! Or is it Final Flash?’ 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 heard Chris yell and quickly turned to him, “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 something 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. Chris grinned, and thrusts 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. Discord floated in his chair with a big smile upon his face. ‘Best Dragon Ball Movie ever and it was never made proper, very saddening.’ Discord thought as the urge to clap began to take over his spirit. Discord smiled gleefully, “Well, that was an 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. Black smoke seemed to enshroud the area where Raze was as he started to roll around while clenching his head. ‘You didn’t think it would be over so easily, did you Raze?!’ Fhaze questioned Raze as his began to tighten his hold on the weakened mind of the Saiyan warrior. ‘Y- Y- You’re gone! He defeated you!’ Raze thought as he tried to resist the spirit’s hold on his body. 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. Discord watched as Chris brought his right hand up, a symbol forming in front of it, ‘He’s using a seal? I do remember something about him learning that, but it’s been a while since I last looked at the multiverse...’ 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. Fhaze suddenly felt his power begin to fade fast, ‘What?! What is happening to me?!’ His grip on Raze’s mind was being forced away, ‘No! I won’t give in in! Raze is mine to use as I see fit! ARRRRGGGGHHHH!’ His spiritual form was being taken away as he was sucked inside of a powerful lock. ‘DAMN YO-” He was cut off as black energy followed him inside. Discord watched as 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. Suddenly, 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 Raze is ready to face him.” With a boring explanation out of the way, Discord felt like being his usual chaotic self. 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. Raze felt a large amount of weight hit him all at once and he awoke with a start. The first thing he heard was one thing, “FROST TARTS! WHERE ARE THEY?!” ~End of Chapter~ Author's Note Well, the story is now officially off hiatus. Thank goodness me and Boyzilla managed to pull it together! I hope you all enjoy this chapter! Tricky Magic and a New Outlook~Journey of Saiyans Chapter 9 (Raze Version)~ Raze felt a large amount of weight hit him all at once and he awoke with a start. The first thing he heard was, “FROST TARTS! WHERE ARE THEY?!” Raze tried to jump as his ears started ringing from the yell being produced from such short distance by one little girl, but he was stuck in two blankets and began to fall towards the side of the couch. Kira and himself fell off the couch and onto the floor in a heap of blankets. Bon-Bon walked up with a small smile on her face, “Yeah Raze, where are those Frost Tarts?” Raze was about to respond after sitting back up when Kira interrupted him, "I can sense the Frost Tarts with you Raze-sensei! You can't hide them from me!" Raze looked at her, "What's with you and Frost Tarts?" He caught Kira’s hand from reaching the capsule case, “Don’t touch that.” “But the Frost Tarts! Sensei! The Frost Tarts!” Kira exclaimed while struggling against Raze’s hold. Raze glared at 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 while continuing to hold off Kira’s reaching arms. Turning back to Kira he said, “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?” Kira paused, “Can nii-san help me?” She asked. 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!” She leaped off of Raze, and promptly shouted, “Ken! Wake up!” Raze looked around, but didn’t see nor hear any other movements, “I guess you’ll have to go and get him.” Kira only grinned, “Give him a minute.” Raze waited and waited until he realized that he was sitting on the floor still, ‘Why am I still on the floor?’ Raze wouldn’t get an answer to that as something seemed to be moving upstairs. The footsteps of someone coming down the staircase was heard, until Raze spotted Kira’s brother, Ken, on the stairs still in his PJs. “Well, he’s definitely not going to fight in that, Lyra would probably attack me with a frying pan if I had Ken mess up the wrong clothes.” Raze said. 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. ‘What… Huh… Kira didn’t even say anything to him! How can he possibly know what we were talking about?’ Raze looked toward Kira to find her pridefully smiling, confident in her and her brother’s ability to beat him. To beat him, claim the Frost Tarts, and a trip to the town. If he doesn’t win then he’ll be stuck with them for the entire day! Again! ‘I’ll see about that!’ Raze thought with determination. Raze got up quickly and heard another knock at the backdoor. Raze went to open said door. It opened to reveal Derpy and the Doctor. They both walked in and Raze shut the door behind him. Derpy smiled at Raze and Kira, “Good Morning!” The Doctor was looking around and sniffing the air, “Is that Hay Bacon Strips that I seem to be smelling?” Lyra walked out of the kitchen with a smile on her face, “Yes, along with roasted carrot and parsnip soup.” “You got anything for the average young strapping saiyan?” Raze asked with a slight hint of sarcasm. “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. “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. “I thought it was because you belong in the kitchen, with your pink apron and your carrots.” Raze said while continuing to turn away from his bold new adversary. The Doctor saw this situation was escalating at a dangerous rate, “Raze, it might be wise to be quiet.” Derpy frowned and nodded in agreement, “You might want to listen to him, Razey.” “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!” “It’s a taste thing, you wouldn’t understand, they’ve got you brainwashed!” Raze said to Kira as he heard something starting to steam from behind him. Raze turned around slowly, “Is there some tea… on?” To Raze, Bon-Bon looked as if she had a fiery Ki aura of destruction and wrath, even if ponies don’t have Ki to begin with, “My cooking of carrots… Brainwashing her?!” “Yeah! Totally! So if you could go and make something that won’t brainwash us, I’d really like that!” Raze said as he was still completely oblivious at the moment despite the glaring warning signs of imminent attack. “Oh, I’ll make something alright.” Bon-Bon said in a surprisingly calm matter, turning around to head back to the kitchen. “Really?! What is it?! Fish, Chicken, or Steak?!” Raze exclaimed while thinking about the possibilities. The Doctor facehoofed, ‘Well, at least he’s signing his will, I’ve got at least 800 years before I have to do that.’ “It’ll be… A unique flavor.” Bon-Bon finished, disappearing into the kitchen with Lyra following suite. Raze couldn’t wait for whatever she was making, ‘It could be anything and anything is better than carrots!’ “Raze-sensei! We’re ready!” Kira said, snapping Raze out of his thoughts as he spotted Ken fully dressed in his training gi standing next to Kira. “Alright! Let’s get to the gravity chamber! Then we can eat and get out to see the town!” Raze said while watching the Twins smile and celebrate thinking they were going to win. ‘They’re celebrating a little much, we haven’t even got to the gravity chamber yet...’ Raze thought as Kira grabbed his hand. “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. She grasped Raze’s hand and pulled him with her toward the backyard door. “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, “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. “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. “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 to the now somewhat scared child. “Die? I don’t wanna die!” Ken exclaimed while waving his arms in alarm. “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. “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 while leaving the Twins to their own devices. ‘This should be a lot better than last time, I finally get to teach someone else the same powers that I know! That alone is pretty awesome!’ Raze thought while pressing in button combinations on the keyboard of the central control panel. Raze clicked one last button and the simulation was primed. He turned back to find the Twins stretching and getting ready. ‘It reminds me of when I was first getting into my first gravity chamber...’ Raze’s memory began to fill in a small thought bubble. He remembered falling consistently everytime he ever tried to step in. He remembered being tossed around by his father like a volleyball. Then another unfortunate memory involved some very high stakes laser tag. Raze’s bubble popped instantly and he frowned, ‘That wasn’t very fun… At least I improved over time!’ “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 the button and immediately the gravity began pulling down their bodies. The Twins were being pressed down a bit more than usual, but maintained their balance despite the change. Raze was already used to the shift and 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.” “No problem, I’ll be running in no time sensei!” Kira said with confidence, she took a step forward, only to crash face first into the ground. Raze frowned, “Uh, you alright?” ‘I know I should help her out, but she needs to be able to push herself, I’ll just have to watch and see if she can manage it.’ Raze thought as he saw Ken try to go help his sister. Raze held his hand up and stopped Ken. He shook his head and Ken stepped back. 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. Raze watched her with the same frown mirrored. Sometimes, words weren’t needed. He could tell she was somewhat angry, but knew it was for the best. “Alright, just keep trying, Kira.” Raze said to her. Kira’s Ki energy signature increased, she was using her own Ki to help her stand up. After a short minute, Kira stood up pridefully once again. She took a step closer, more cautious about her balance as her tail swayed to each side as she began to walk. Raze watched the progress she was making, ‘This might take a while, but she’s getting the hang of it.’ He saw the tail swing around to balance her as she walked, ‘So she’s using her tail? Well, I suppose it can be allowed.’ 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. “You seem to be walking fast, but you need to start running!” Raze turned to Ken next. “You too, let’s see if you can run, Ken!” Raze said to him. “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. His sister watched with a little jealousy as she attempted to try and catch up, filled with motivation in trying to become as strong as Ken. Raze smiled while watching their progress, ‘A little competition between rivals or family can be healthy. She’s going to want to run just like that and then she’ll truly get stronger.’ Raze watched as Ken seemed to get faster and faster, more so then Kira, when suddenly as he glanced toward Kira to see her face overcome with emotion, her Ki spiked to a higher level than normal. Kira’s speed drastically increased, passing by her brother before her energy reverted back down to her ‘normal’ levels. Raze’s eyes widened a bit, ‘She’s got power locked up inside her! It’s almost like Ken’s power! I remember reading about something like this before, human blood and saiyan blood creates a ferocious energy… Guess it wasn’t kidding. How do I get this to workout for the both of them?’ He brainstormed some ideas for a future training session, ‘Yeah, this is going to be a good month!’ “Okay! You can both stop running now, you’re sufficiently warmed up!” Raze said to them both. Ken and Kira stopped just in front of Raze, their faces revealing that they were curious 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. If Raze could remember right, her power level was rising around… Hundred thousand… Two hundred thousand… Ah around three hundred then stopping. 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.” “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 to one hundred… two hundred… three hundred… and hitting it’s mark close to four hundred thousand. Or at least it did, before Ken shouted a technique, “Kaio-ken times two!” With that, Ken’s Ki levels skyrocketed to around four hundred and a half thousand. 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 attacked first, yelling out her battlecry, “Frost Tarts!” Raze sidestepped her and she went right past him before he delivered soft kick to her back causing her to spin frontward straight into the wall, “By the way, nice battlecry.” Ken didn’t charge forward, instead he leaped back shooting a couple Ki blasts as he went. Raze summoned a ki barrier to take the attacks head on. The blasts exploded harmlessly around Raze. “You need to be faster on the uptake, Ken.” Raze said while awaiting their next moves. It took a few seconds before he was attacked from the left side by Kira, her moves were slow compared to his own, as her body seemed to stress itself harder due to the intense gravity. She thrusts her right fist forward, but Raze easily guides it away and gently knees her in the chest. Kira flew back for a second and then the gravity took hold. She hit the ground fast, but managed to catch herself. She slowly pushed her body back up against the gravity holding her down, and tries a different approach of gathering Ki energy. Raze watches her as she attempts to gather energy before his senses pick up another power charging from his side. He turns to meet the incoming attacker, or a Kamehameha wave. Raze smiled and walks away from his current area without even bothering to mess with the oncoming attack, ‘Who would bother standing and waiting for someone to attack just like that? I would never stay in one area like that.’ Turns out, Ken learned something. Ken moved his arms along with the beam within, causing the Kamehameha wave to curve toward Raze’s direction. Raze noticed the energy was still following him and he broke into a run. ‘The bending Kamehameha? I wonder who taught him that.’ Raze continued running until he was stopped by a wall. He glanced from the Kamehameha toward Ken, to see that Kira guarded Ken’s vulnerability as he performed the Bending Kamehameha Wave. ‘Walls can’t stop me!’ Raze thought while activating his ki and using it to walk up onto the roof of the gravity chamber. Ken pulled his arms upward to make the beam follow Raze as he ran on the ceiling, ‘Jeez! Ken has more control over it than I thought! I’m going to have to just counter it after all!’ Raze turned around and caught the attack. He held it and found that he was being pushed by the attack slightly. Raze glanced back at Ken to see he was tired and must be running out of Ki energy. Until his sister lay her hands on him, and Ken’s Ki energy started to increase as her’s fell. The attack itself gained even more steam as it pushed Raze back further, ‘Errrggghhh! I can still take it!’ Raze powered up more and made the attack explode within his hands. Smoke blasted outward from where the attack had combusted. But Raze had already moved from the area. He dropped down onto the floor and ran at the Twins. “Gotcha now!” Raze said to them. As Raze appeared from the smoke and caught site of the Twins, he saw Ken boost his sister up into the air above him. Kira used the intense gravity to her advantage, increasing her speed as she came down onto Raze, using 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, ‘Damn, what a strong kick! Here comes Ken!’ Raze 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!” Raze caught up to him and gently elbowed Ken in the side. Then Raze ran to catch up to the flying Ken. He grabbed his right leg and continued running with Ken now in tow. He headed for Kira, but as he reached her, Ken recovered and blasts Raze with a Ki attack. The attack causes Raze to drop Ken and fly at a wall, ‘That was pretty sneaky.’ Raze caught himself and skidded to the side. ‘Maybe I should get more tactical.’ Raze thought while noticing that Ken had recovered a little too quickly. ‘Just like his cold, gone in a day… Could it be the seal? Chris… Cheating!’ Raze thought as he noticed two energies charging at him. Ken and Kira were charging him already. Raze charged at them as well. Kira seemed a little slower than her brother, and instead of charging next to Ken, she was following behind. Ken on the other hand, seemed confident for some reason. Ken’s own Ki energy was the same… Until another popped up within and fueled his own drastically. Raze noticed a spike in energy from Ken, ‘That can’t be right!’ Raze continued and thrust his left towards Ken. But the little boy Ki energy boost also came with newly discovered speed, he 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 the other energy inside Ken, 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 knew that the gravity was still on, so he decided to try the voice command system, “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 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.” “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 his capsule case, “Then I’ll just go do that, but first…” He trailed off while taking out a capsule. He clicked the top of it and threw causing a mini explosion. A fridge appeared from said smoke. “I got a box of Frost Tarts to give back.” Raze said while opening it and taking out the box. As if she was never exhausted in the first place, Kira jumped up with a burst of energy and appeared in front of Raze. She was eager to receive her prized box of Frost Tarts. Raze handed it to her quickly and shut the fridge door. He clicked another button and the fridge blasted back into a capsule. He picked it up and then took out another capsule that contained his ship. “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. “Nee-chan! Give me one!” Ken whined. Kira grabbed another package and gave it to her twin. Raze trekked over to an empty patch of grass, clicking the capsule’s button that he had on hand. Raze winded up like a baseball pitcher and mockingly threw this one toward the empty patch. A large explosion of pink smoke appeared forth before settling back down revealing the item that was once within. A large ship with the words “Capsule Corp.” had shown itself for all to see. Raze walked over and clicked the button on the side to open the ship up. Steam rose from out of the chamber as an indentation began to make itself clear. It opened further thanks to the hydraulics of the door itself. The door went all the way to the ground and extended till it had a good hold. Raze looked back at the Twins to see what they were doing, turns out they were staring at his ship. Suddenly, all that was left was after images of them as they were now next to the ship touching every surface. “Wow! What’s this thing?” Ken asked as he brought his hands against the ship’s exterior. Kira poked and prodded, her hand getting dangerously near the capsulize switch. Raze notice this and quickly ran over to her, “Stop, Kira!” Kira froze, scared that she was about to do something bad. Raze realized he had scared her, “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!” “Sorry.” Kira stated, removing her hands from the exterior, her brother following suite after hearing Raze’s words. Raze sighed, “You can come see the inside of the ship, but don’t press anything. Besides, I’ve gotta go get another gi anyway.” “Ow… “ Ken said, clutching his head. “You okay Ken?” Kira asked with concern. “Yeah, just a little headache. I’m fine!” Ken replied with a smile. Raze arched an eyebrow at that, ‘No doubt because of Fhaze...’ “You sure you’re alright, Ken?” Raze asked while knowing that he wouldn’t actually be all that fine. “I’m fine sensei! Honest!” Ken said firmly, but his movements seemed to sway just a tiny bit. Raze nodded slowly, “If you’re sure. Well, come on inside and I’ll show you the ship.” Raze walked up the platform and went inside his ship. He turned on the lights really quickly and looked back to see the Twins just standing in one spot. “The ship doesn’t bite, just watch out for the german toilet!” “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 the ladder was, “Ich werde Sie und die Kinder verschlingen ganze!” “Was that the german toilet?” Ken questioned. “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. “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. ‘And not to mention my evil German toilet that doesn’t need to meet them.’ Raze thought to himself with a dark look back at the ladder. “Okay!” The both of them said. “We’ll see you at lunch sensei!” Ken and Kira finished, leaving the Capsule Corp ship. “Whew! Door close!” The door closed and Raze was free to get cleaned up and get a new gi. Thirty minutes would pass as Raze climbed back up his ladder, “I should probably get a new ladder system. Something automated, if I can find a good technician.” Raze talked to himself too often when he was alone. “I wonder if this Ponyville will continue to have better reactions to me… Hmmm… I feel something strange… An energy surge? Why am I talking to myself?” Raze asked the question as he realized that the energy seemed to be covering an entire area above where he was. ‘That’s different, but all I need right now is food! I’ll be able to find out what that is afterwards.’ Raze thought as he flew up the rest of the way and opened the door hatch that would lead him back outside. Within minutes, everybody was gathered inside the house in order to eat their late breakfast. Bon-Bon had a grin that could kill puppies while glaring daggers at Raze. Raze was oblivious to this was instead talking with the Doctor. “Have you made any progress with that dimensional thing?” Raze asked him to which he shook his head. “I’ve been moving wires and exchanging the parts, but there’s been no luck with it turning on.” The Doctor said while Raze sighed. ‘And there goes another bit of news...’ Raze trailed off as the food was brought to the table and set out for all to look. 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 them all. “We’re not staring at you sensei.” Ken said, looking toward Raze before going back to the food laid out. “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 Raze had never seen before. It kinda looked like lasagna, except it was colored more yellow and orange, but it’s just colored different in this Equestria? Raze looked at all the food, but the lasagna looked the best, ‘I guess I should try this first.’ “Well, kids get food first, then mares, and I’ll go last.” Raze said to them while walking away. Bon-Bon mouth fell open, “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.” As Lyra levitated some spoonfuls of food upon the twins’ plates, 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.” “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-” “It’s so yummy!” The two twins shouted with glee as they ate the lasagna. “Raze-sensei you gotta try it! You gotta!” Kira said, looking toward Raze. Raze looked at them and then back at Bon-Bon, “Okay…” He watched her consistently while picking up a plate. He got a few spoonfuls and went over to a chair and sat down. Bon-Bon watched with a smile upon her face, but also drew a plate with food as to not gather too much attention. Raze picked up his fork and took a bite of the food before him. He chewed it slowly and swallowed it. He soon began to eat a bit faster and then it was gone as if it had never touched the plate. “That was pretty good…” He said while noticing Bon-Bon’s evil grin. ‘What’s that all about?’ He asked himself. “Mommy, what is this stuff?” Ken asked as he swallowed some of the food. Lyra looked kindly at Ken, “Bon-Bon called it Carrot casserole.” Raze frowned and Bon-Bon was a full evil scientist at the moment. Raze 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 backdoor and flying to his ship. He had left the backdoor open and Bon-Bon walked over and shuts it. Another thirty minutes later and Raze was back, “Well, I’m ready to go into town!” He spotted Ken and Kira in different clothings, looking cleaned up and ready to go. 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!” They 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. ‘What did he mean by that? Oh well, I shouldn’t dwell on it.’ Raze finished while looking to the Twins. “Let’s get going.” He walked to the front door and opened it. “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?” Raze raised an eyebrow, “No way! Discord wouldn’t do anything like this! He’s pretty harmless.” “No he’s not! He nearly killed nee-chan!” Ken shouted in objection, the hatred seething in his voice. “He turned mommy gray and made her fight against us too!” Kira shouted as well, a bit of fear within her own voice. “But Discord never did that when I….” Raze trailed off as he realized what world he was in. ‘Oh…. Yeah… Discord was a bit different...’ Raze thought to himself. The twins were still a bit 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. Only to hit his head on something like glass. “Owowowo!” Ken shouted. 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!” Raze tilted his head in confusion, ‘So a barrier is over the town… This is the energy I felt earlier!’ Raze then smiled a bit having come up with an idea, “Hey, Ken! Come back down! I’ve got an idea!” Ken floated back down, and landed on the ground. He looked up to our tall saiyan hero, curious to know what he had planned. Raze looked at both the Twins, “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. ‘Gotta cover for the blast radius...’ Raze thought while chewing on his tongue methodically. The three saiyans, two being half human, 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. Raze held his hands to the side and charged up two red energy balls. They grew bigger and larger till Raze dictated that they were perfect. 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. “Ready?!” Raze asked them while holding the powerful ki in his hands. Raze glanced toward the twin’s direction as he saw them power up their own techniques. Ken appeared to be doing the familiar Kamehameha Wave, his hands cupped to his side as a blue energy ball formed and condensed itself within his palms. His mouth forming the individual syllables to the technique as he charged it up. Kira had her hands to her forehead, a yellow ball of spiking energy forming in front of them. Raze identified this technique just as Kira mumbled the words, “Masenko…” Raze seeing they were indeed ready nodded, “On three! One Two Three! Flash Cannon!” He threw the 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. Raze started to see a few tiny cracks in the side as it continued pushing 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. Raze wasn’t going to give in and he expected the Twins to do the same. He transformed into his super saiyan state and pushed forward with his attack. However unlike Raze, Ken could not transform in the midst of using a technique, and instead resorted to Kaio-ken. “HAH!” Despite Raze’s power increase, the shield continued to force them back. “Kaio-ken!” Raze heard Ken say, the little boy’s Ki spiking to higher levels. “Damn shield!” Raze yelled as his attack began to go critical and exploded against the side the other attacks followed suit which created a large enough explosion to send all three of the fighters straight into the ground. Crashing into it brought dust and dirt high into the sky. Raze laid upon the broken earth with a confused look on his face. ‘Oh come on, what makes a shiel- Oh crap!’ In that instant, Ken landed on Raze, and then Kira landed on them both. More dust and smoke were brought up while Raze was brought further down into the earth. “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. Ken and Kira were confused, it was painfully obvious they had no idea they could control themselves like that. Raze frowned seeing that they still hadn’t got off him, “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.” The two Twins got off him immediately, mumbling their apologies to their sensei. “Sorry, but why couldn’t we break the barrier?” Ken questioned. “Yeah! We should’ve been strong enough.” Kira said, her tail wiggled 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. Raze looked at the pony and actually recognized her, ‘Is that Trixie? From the whole Nightmare returns fiasco? What in the world is she doing here?’ “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. 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. “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 to her with all the honesty in the world. “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 while walking to the crazy unicorn in question. “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. “Okay, sure. Do your worst and then we’ll take you to the guards.” Raze said with a confident grin and putting his hands upon 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. He began to shrink in size as the blinding light grew in size. The attack ended abruptly and smoke flew 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 and Raze wiped the dust off his eyes to see. He noticed how Ken and Kira seemed a bit… Bigger, around his size actually. “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. ‘What the heck is up with my voice?!’ Raze thought as he looked around trying to find something to look into. ‘I need a mirror!’ Raze ran over to the nearest window he could find and looked up at it. “WHAT?!” He looked at his hands and the rest of his 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!” “Trixie will not, now go and run along child.” She replied as she turned around. “The grown up Trixie has work to do.” Trixie finished while leaving the scene. Raze’s anger wasn’t quelled, no it was growing. Raze was even surprised, ‘Why am I so angry?! This feels different!’ 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. Raze was beginning to calm down even though Twilight didn’t seem to be there, ‘Okay, so she can’t help me… Darn, what am I supposed to do about this now?’ “Oh… Hey guys.” A voice rang out, causing the Twins to look toward the staircase to see Spike, the baby dragon. Raze wasn’t paying much attention to the baby dragon, he was still concerned about his size. “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 snapped out of his trance after hearing that, “What?! She exiled Twilight? I’m going to hurt her!” Just like that, his anger was back. “Yeah, we can beat her together! Just avoid those age spells! I don’t wanna become a baby!” Ken said. “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 while seeing nothing but red. “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 in uncontrollable excitement mixed with rage. Ken and Kira followed promptly behind him. Raze made it to the large place with the most banners around it, “Wow, she’s boastful and prideful… I’mma deck her in the muzzle!” Raze proclaimed to… Well, only the twins were next to him. “I sense mommy in the building!” Ken shouted. “Me too!” Kira also said. “You sense Lyra and I sense muzzles! They need decking!” Raze said while charging forward. Raze reached the door and blasted it open causing door pieces to fly inside, “I’m here to deck muzzles!” He yelled in his childish voice. 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. Everypony except two dueling unicorns fighting with a variety of magical spells in the center of the room, one such spell passing just over the tip of Raze’s hair setting it on fire. Raze looked at the ponies, “Do you smell burnt hair?” “Sensei, your hair is on fire.” Ken stated. Raze looked up once he noticed his hair was indeed on fire. “AHHHH! My hair is on fire!” Raze yelled as he hit the floor. “Stop, Drop, and Roll!” He yelled while rolling across the floor. “Ken, Kira! What are you doing here?! And where is… Raze?!” Lyra yelled, Raze’s new appearance causing her to be distracted. This allowed Trixie to blast her with a magical attack and knock her unconscious against the wall. Raze stopped rolling when the fire went out finally, “Much better…” He got up from his rolling to see that Lyra had been knocked into a wall. “Mommy!” The twins yelled, 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 saw the Twins going at Trixie and frowned, “She’s mine! Get away!” He summoned his ki energy and blasted forward like a rocket. But the Twins still had a headstart to him, and reached Trixie before he did. However a crimson magical area wave of energy blasted the twins back, causing them to skid along the tiled ground of the town hall. Raze saw what had just happened to them and decided to not take chances, “RAGGGHHH!” He transformed immediately into his Super Saiyan state. He fired several Ki blasts at Trixie, all of which exploded around her in a bright yellow light. “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. “Oh, don’t be like that! I still haven’t made you bleed from your muzzle!” Raze shot forward determined to just that. Trixie fired several magical blasts at Raze to which he dodged them, “Emperor Trixie will show you what happens to children who mess with Trixie!” Raze stopped right before her and began to run around her in a large circle. Copies of himself began to appear around her form. They all looked at her, “Bet you can’t us!” “Trixie sees you are a child indeed!” Trixie shouted, magical energy gathering in her horn before she burst out another area wave of energy around her. The afterimages disappeared, but the real Raze had jumped at her and pulled back his left fist, “Take this!” He thrust it forward into her muzzle and she flew into the opposite wall. At least she was going to crash into it, if she didn’t disappear in a flash of light mid way. Reappearing behind Raze and she blasted him with a ball of magical energy, sending him flying into the same wall. Raze got up quickly thanks to the Ki reinforcing his body and smiled when he looked at Trixie, “You got a bloody muzzle there, I wonder who did that?” Trixie wiped a drop of blood off her muzzle, “Trixie will make you pay-” “Ha!” Two twins yelled in unison, a Twin Kamehameha wave launching from their palms and right toward 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. Lyra twitched before her eyes opened up as she groaned audibly with rejoining the physical world. Raze, Ken, and Kira, 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 could tell Raze easily that they were disappointed with Lyra not seeing their awesome and epic technique, but he also saw them brush it aside as they turned their attention to Trixie’s direction. Raze also looked over to Trixie to see that she had returned, “Oh, great… You came back, I’m so happy…” Luckily, he hadn’t powered down, so this was welcomed, “Guess we’ll have to do this again!” “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 looking at her 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…” He trailed off while keeping his Super Saiyan state up. Raze glanced toward the Twins, to find their eyes closed in concentration. They opened their eyes, smiles upon their faces. 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 Raze to his own thoughts. ‘So, Twilight’s going to win? Is she even able to deal with that idiot? Whatever, I’ll see eventually…’ Raze powered down and turned to Lyra. “Oh, are you feeling okay?” He asked her. 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?” She questioned. “Because being angry and only seeing red is so basic… Saiyans have tendency to lose themselves in them.” He 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.” Ken and Kira didn’t like being reminded of that half of their heritage, but they didn’t question it. Raze nodded, “Probably… Okay, just gotta let Twilight take care of the problem.” Suddenly, Raze felt another presence appear inside of his mind, “I’M BACK! And I’ve seen all my friends! All two of them! That includes you, Raze! Also, why is your imagination filled with candy, toys, and games before I could get here?! It’s not unwelcomed, mind you, but it’s not quite Discord enough!” Raze pouted, even if it was now cute, ‘You know… I am a child right now…’ Discord nodded, “Yes, you’re quite the munchkin. The fact that you’re thinking more about candy and other things like toys and such makes me joyful. Now I can entertain you and you may laugh more often!” Suddenly, Raze got distracted by Ken speaking aloud. “Um, mommy… If Twilight can’t fix the spell… Does this mean Raze-sensei has to go to school with us?” Raze’s eyes widened, “Haha, very funny. No. I will never go back to school.” Lyra smiled evilly, “Yes, it does.” Raze felt a pat on his shoulder, “Nice knowing you, Raze.” Discord said. ~End of Chapter~ Author's Note Well, we worked on this chapter till the dead of night for many days to bring this to you! I hope you all enjoy it! Please leave a comment, I don't bite! Launching into New RealizationsJourney of Saiyans Chapter 10 (Raze Version) Raze was not having such a good day, the moment he tried that Carrot casserole, he knew that thing must have given him bad luck! There was no other explanation on why everything is suddenly going south. He gets turned into a kid, is stuck as a kid, suddenly told he has to go to school, and then Twilight can’t even fix his problem! ‘It just can’t get any worse!’ Raze thought while Discord flitted around him with a bright cheeky grin. The day had went by considerably fast after all the crazy things that had happened, but now Raze was going to be subjected to an even worse torment. Bon-Bon’s antics could never compared to this torture. Ken and Kira, who looked so much more innocent when he was looking down at them before, had brought them to the three screaming fillies that had nearly made him deaf the last time he saw them! And not only that, but they want him, to play, with them! And not the good ole sparring kind either. They wanted him to help them earn cutie marks! Why? He had no clue, but it sounded horrible. So he refused, “Nah, I don’t feel like it…” He then proceeded to walk away. But apparently, refusing something from this particular group was a one way ticket to HFIL. They followed him along the path and persisted in trying to change his mind. The amount of Puppy Dog Eyes from both the Twins and the Cutie Mark Crusaders was mind-boggling. “Puh-lease! Help Us!” Applebloom asked with those evil little-no... Huge eyes. “Come on Raze! It’ll be fun!” Kira said, pushing forward another Puppy Dog Eyes technique. Raze was unusually a bit more adept at dealing with those eyes since his awkward transformation, “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. “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 while continuing on his path to nowhere. Ken then said quite audibly, “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.” “You know what? You should respect other people when they say no.” Raze said while being as stubborn as a child should be. Ken and Kira pouted, along with the CMC. Raze smiled on the inside, ‘That got them good, now I can go make plans to escape the dreaded school! “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. ‘Curses, they talked again and actually got me at some part! Now I’ll be delayed! I must escape Lyra!’ Raze thought while turning around. “But Bon-Bon said that she had been rude to me while not respecting my hatred for carrots!” Raze came back with at Ken. 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 was stumped, ‘Not logic! It’s so cold and ruthless! Like getting stabbed in the chest repeatedly! Okay, how do I stop her from winning!?’ Raze tried to think himself out of the situation when another voice came into the conversation, ‘I’m confused, what in the world happened besides the whole kid thing? It sounds like I missed far too much!’ ‘Discord, things happen, carrots, lots of Frost Tarts, witches, and kid transformations… It was a horrifying situation made worse by everything being piled one after another… Heck you’ll probably see my memories when I have my nightmare about it soon enough.’ Raze thought to Discord. ‘I feel like I’m getting a punishment from Chris or some sort of deity for something I did.’ Raze couldn’t help but think. Discord shrugged, ‘Maybe a god got tired of you and is having fun with your misfortunes and it’s not just your thoughts.’ Raze frowned, ‘Do you have anything helpful to say?’ Discord smiled, ‘Nope.’ ‘You aren’t reassuring in the slightest...’ Raze thought back. ‘Well, I’m Discord, so it’s expected.’ Discord finished as Raze groaned. He noticed that the kids were now in a circle and appeared to be whispering about something. He heard small things and then a louder whisper, “Operation Raze Joins Us is a Go!” ‘Oh Celestia help me now… I said Celestia again didn’t I?’ Raze smacked his own face to try regain control of his thoughts. “Prepare yourself, Raze!” Sweetie Bell started. “For the most… “ Scootaloo continued. “Persuasive technique… “ Applebloom added. “Ever!” Ken yelled. “Created!” Kira finished. Suddenly, without warning, all five of the Cutie Mark Crusader members jumped right on Raze. Having no time to react as he felt himself begin to laugh while the CMC showed no mercy in their all out tickling technique. “The Tickle Torture!” They all yelled. Raze continued laughing while another voice laughed in the background. ‘Dammit Discord!’ Raze laughed until he started to cry. “You give up, Raze?” Kira asked as she continued tickling. “NEVER!” Raze 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 struggled with them as his strength increased. His laughing fit was reaching higher levels of insanity. “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. This time, his power carried him a great bit farther into the air. About 2 foot off the ground, luckily the Cutie Mark Crusaders were more on his midsection. The Twins had let go of him at that point, but he had still not turned over completely. ‘I’ve escaped those two! Now I’ll just let these three off and it’ll all be over!’ Raze thought joyously. “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, speaking so fast, and surprisingly very quiet, that Raze didn’t get a chance to even turn and run before he heard the infamous yelling of… “Cutie Mark Crusaders School Ditchers! Go!” They all yelled at once which startled Raze out of his stupor. “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 also 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. “You know, I didn’t take any of you as being deceptive…” Raze thought as his mind whirled at the new possibilities of a different personality being inside them as well. ‘Did Fhaze make copies of himself and use Discord for that too?’ Raze thought aimlessly while Discord laughed in the background. ‘No, he didn’t do that… At least, I don’t think he did…’ Discord thought back quickly. “Hey, we can so be deceptive!” Ken exclaimed. 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. “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. Raze was about to voice more objections when Discord flicked his shoulder with his claw, ‘Why do you question their help? Just accept it and say you’ll help them in return. After all, it’s only fair. Besides, this is a Saturday and you have another entire day of doing absolutely nothing.’ ‘You make a fair point, darn it…’ Raze thought back quickly. “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…” ‘I hate being a kid...’ Raze thought while Discord watched. 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.” “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-” He felt something strike the back of his head and he fell over. Discord frowned, ‘There are kids here Raze...’ Raze grumbled while pushing himself up and removing dirt from his mouth. “That was strange, it looked like somepony hit you, yet nopony was there.” Sweetie Bell said. “You okay Raze?” Kira asked in concern. “Ummm… I’m alright.” Raze said while quickly thinking back at Discord. ‘Oh, this will be a fight for later...’ Raze thought while Discord smiled. ‘Bring it, Munchkin.’ He returned with. 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 quite disturbingly, the grins of mischief, even if they didn’t know they were grinning like that. Raze backed up a little. ‘That’s kinda creepy...’ He thought with a small twisted smile. “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. Raze arched an eyebrow, ‘It’s too late to say no...’ Discord nodded, ‘Yep, let the chaos happen!’ “Turn it toward Dash’s place!” Scootaloo commanded. Ken turned the catapult clockwise, it’s aim pointing toward the cloud home in the sky. Raze could see that Rainbow Dash just happened to be there and was looking out one of the front windows, but she didn’t see them. At least not yet. 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 who then turned away slightly. “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 some concern written all over her face. “No worries nee-chan, the landing spot is all clouds!” Ken replied. Scootaloo smiled at Ken with tiny hearts in her eyes, “See? He get’s it! Who’s going first?” Raze smiled, ‘If they’re going to ignore me, then I guess it won’t matter if I play along!’ Discord smiled at that, ‘This is perfect, time to see the chaotic potential with all of you together!’ “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!” He then began to turning it back at a fast past until the holder was nearly against the platform it sat upon. “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. He grabbed the rope that held the catapult down and then he brought his other hand forward. Summoning a small amount of Ki power he put it to the rope. It began to burn slightly as the rope snapped a small bit. He whittled away at it slowly and then it completely snapped apart. Scootaloo blasted up while screaming as loudly as she possibly could through the sky. Raze watched with a hand over his head to block the sunlight. He watched Rainbow Dash seemed to get surprised and blasted toward her door. She then flew out to see Scootaloo fly past her house. Rainbow opened her wings and flew off after the speeding flightless pegasus. Raze frowned knowing that they’d been a little off in their trajectory. “We’re all dead…” Raze said while turning away from the catapult. “You did it, Ken!” Raze said as he pointed at Ken. “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. While they had argued amongst themselves, Discord was busy wiping tears away from his eyes, ‘It’s so beautiful!’ He cried tears of joy while watching the ensuing chaos. “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…” Rainbow Dash had been there for the last three minutes while holding onto Scootaloo. A big frown planted on her face as well. She looked angry, Raze was accustomed with that from his own first meeting with her. ‘Great, repeating history…’ Raze thought to himself. Applebloom, Sweetie Bell, and Ken all pointed to Kira. Self-explanatory that they were putting the blame on the little girl who actually agreed with Raze to reconsider. Raze had also without the use of his mind, already knew to point at her on instinct. Raze finally realized that he had been raising his arm the whole time. ‘What in the world is this? Auto-pilot?’ Raze thought to himself while trying to make his arm go down. “Sorry Scootaloo… “ Kira said in a defeated tone, her tail limp against her back legs. Raze knew this was wrong, but his damn arm wouldn’t go down, ‘Come down you damn thing! Down I say!’ Discord calmed down from his tears of joy, ‘Someone can’t resist the child within them! Or should I say, child outside them!’ ‘Oh, haha… ‘ Raze replied in his mind. Rainbow Dash sighed audibly, “It was all of your faults, wasn’t it?” She said with a bit of irritation laced in her voice. Raze looked up at the adult Rainbow and held his own. Nopony was stronger than his will, it was impossible to break someone who had gone through so many things to get to where he was today. But something was strange about this encounter, he was feeling new things. ‘What is this strange feeling?’ Raze asked himself. Discord tapped him on the shoulder, ‘The feeling is like you’re about to cave in because of the look she’s giving you.’ “SHUT-UP!” Raze shouted all of a sudden. He slapped his hands over his mouth quickly, ‘I’ll never get used to this higher voice!’ “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!” Discord frowned, ‘Wow, sometimes even you can slip up...’ ‘Not in the mood, Discord!’ Raze thought back to him. It was at this time Raze noticed the Twins and the other CMC start backing up away from him and Rainbow Dash. Discord noticed this and made his way over toward a tree to avoid being hit by any speedy saiyans or sonic rainbooming pegasi. 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. “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. She coughed and then blew away that dust with her wings, “Get back here you tyke!” She then sped off in hot pursuit of our little Saiyan hero. Raze looked back with a smile, ‘Oh, she’s chasing me now, but she won’t for long!’ He looked over the tops of the trees and saw that he was heading in the direction of Ghastly Gorge. ‘Well, Deja vu...’ Raze thought while speeding toward the gorge. What was different however, was one: A few mountains were missing, and two: the twins were flying just underneath them, watching the chase. Raze blasted through several looping rocks and found that he was in the very same race track that was crudely used by Rainbow Dash the first time he visited Equestria. He also looked back to see Rainbow was gaining on him, ‘Huh, that’s nice…. WAIT! She’s gaining?!’ Indeed she was, “HA! You won’t get away from me that easily! They don’t call me Rainbow Dash for nothing!” “CRAP!” Raze shouted while speeding up to try and gain distance. But Rainbow Dash still continued to catch up to him, in fact she was on his tail now. Well, if he still had one, he heard Rainbow yell at him, “Face it kid, you’re mine!” Raze knew that last time he had almost been beaten in the same race, but he hadn’t been able to control his super saiyan transformation at that time. Of course now, he had a chance to play with her a bit. “So you think so?!” Raze blasted downward with precision and then changed direction and flew past a Rainbow charging in the opposite direction. “HA! You missed me!” Raze shouted while laughing and pulling down his eye with one finger. Rainbow Dash didn’t bother to stop and turn, instead she just did a one-eighty vertical roll, effectively turning herself around without losing any speed. Raze anticipated this and blasted forward with a kaio-ken x10 backing up his speed. Once again, she flew in the opposite direction while Raze made fun of her. “HA! Maybe you might be smarter here, but you’re definitely slower!” Raze said with a grin. “Ugh, stop speaking like you know me!” Rainbow Dash yelled back, her speed increasing even more as she slowly ascended higher. ‘I’m getting bored...’ Raze thought as he turned to see Discord floating beside him at nearly the same speed. ‘I am too, finish her!’ Discord said to Raze with a devious look on his face. ‘Where did you come from?’ Raze thought to him. ‘Magic *snort*’ Discord transmitted from his brain. ‘Makes sense.’ Raze thought while turning his attention to Rainbow. Who apparently was heading right toward him at a Sonic Rainboom speed. Raze noticed this and immediately transformed into his Super Saiyan state and quickly dodged the incoming pegasus. She blasted past him and saw a rock coming up right in front of her. Instead of slowing down however, she continued to gain speed, a small blue aura, barely visible to the naked eye, enveloping her she pierced through the rock like a bullet through paper. And she continued to make her way into the sky and straight at Raze once again. Raze saw this and flew directly at her, ‘This should be good!’ They closed in on each other, closer, and closer, and just as they were about to collide, Rainbow pulls herself up, causing Raze to flying right under her. Raze knew she would copy him and took the chance to escape. He continued on his course and that’s when he sensed something different ahead of him. “Raze slow down!” He heard the voice of a young girl yell. “Oh, this is gonna hurt!” The voice of Ken yelled as Raze looked forward to see the Twins trying to get out the way. Keyword: Trying. 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. ‘Wow, that wasn’t as bad as I thought it would have been.’ Raze got up and padded himself off. Dust brushed off his clothing and he looked at Ken and Kira, “Hey, you two alright?” “Woooow… When did Equestria get dragon balls?” Ken muttered. “So many Razeys…” Kira groaned, her tail limp on the ground. “Yep, you’re both fine, now where is that annoying rainbow colored catastrophe?” Raze asked out loud. Ken shook off his minor concussion, and stood back up. “What you say, Raze-sensei?” He asked, looking at the equal heightened 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 fingers. “Your the one in goldie hair form… Uhh… three and two halfs?” Ken said. Kira got up and looked to Raze, “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 as a hoof was put on his shoulder. “Alright Tyke, your caught, so just give up for… Uh, whatever you did.” Rainbow said with a proud stance. Raze powered down, “I give…” Discord frowned, ‘This is new...’ ~Fifteen Minutes Later~ “So wait, you’re telling me… That not only has Raze catapulted Scootaloo across Ponyville, but also gave Kira a concussion?” Lyra asked Rainbow who currently was under fire, but Raze would get his soon enough. 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, who suddenly had a shiver of cold running down his spine. But instead of painfully punishing Raze with great doom, she only 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. 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 with hope. “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… “ 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 first minute was great. The next five minutes would pass and Raze noticed a strange uncomfortable tingle. Twenty minutes passed and he would begin to feel as if his knees were going to start bruising. By thirty minutes, Raze could swear that his skin had weakened since he had lost his original height and age. “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 stood on his knees, “Lucky little… *Grumble*” Ken started crawling away from the scene of the execution platform, groaning every few seconds in agonizing pain, while Raze was still being hanged. So forty minutes would pass. Raze felt his knees burning and he fought away the growing want to cry. ‘I’m a man! Stuck in this child’s body! I will not cry!’ Raze thought defiantly. Discord watched from the ceiling with some concern, ‘You’ll make it through! She can’t be too cruel now!’ Fifty minutes and Raze had let his guard down. Tears were starting to slide down his cheeks. He could do nothing to stop the consistent pain in his knees, but he tried oh so hard not to feel it. Sixty minutes passed… “Okay Raze, your punishment is hereby over.” Lyra said, the smell of cooking had filled the air only a minute ago. Raze fell over while still crying and he turned away from Lyra. He was intent on ignoring her by this point. ‘Stupid Scootaloo, stupid catapult, stupid Rainbow hair, and stupid Discord for not helping!’ His thoughts were filled with anger and contempt, but he kept them to himself at least he thought he did. Discord shook his head, ‘It’s not my fault that you launched yourself into this mess, jeez...’ Raze ignored him pointedly. Discord continued, ‘You could’ve just left. It’s not like she has much power over you...’ Raze ignored him again. Discord was about to continue when Lyra spoke up, “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…” Raze finished with confusion heavy on his mind. “Mmh… “ Lyra mumbled, as she telekinetically floated over a cold wet rag. “Place this over your knees, It’ll help. I’ve already gave Ken one earlier.” Raze looked at the rag floating before his face and then he looked away, ‘Why did I stay?’ He couldn’t come up with an answer and found himself taking the rag out of the cyan magical field. He found himself getting into a sitting position and pulling up the legs of his pants to put the cold rag onto his bruised knees. He found that his anger appeared to be dying away only to be replaced by another feeling, one he couldn’t recognize. He finally looked at Lyra and almost saw her in a different light. ‘What is wrong with me? Why do I get the feeling that this has happened before?’ Raze questioned himself more as the cold rag continued to soothe away the rage inside him. 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. Raze looked up at her and he was sure that something was happening, a change of some sort, ‘This is so-’ “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. Discord smiled, ‘Even I can’t deny that I like a happy ending every once in a while. Though when it comes to the universe he comes from, it’s to be expected… Wow, I feel older than I know I am...’ Raze hadn't even heard Discord’s thoughts because he was being taken upstairs by Kira to go look at the sleeping mat they had made for him. And honestly, it didn't look half bad. ~End of Chapter~ Author's Note Well, here's the Raze Version of this chapter! The Twin version will be out sometime soon! :D Razing the School RoofJourney of Saiyans Chapter 11 (Raze Version) A day had passed at now it was the dreaded Monday, Raze had actually stayed pretty close to Lyra’s home for all of Sunday and that was something. But now he was running for his life, because he was one crucial point in his bid to get out of school. His instincts being so overcharged at the moment, made him yell at her. He remembered those words quite clearly, “I’M NEVER GOING TO SCHOOL!” He regretted that decision in the long run because now he had angered the one pony he shouldn’t have, Lyra Heartstrings. Turns out, she’s pretty good at chasing saiyans! Who knew? So they were now going through the market square. Raze using his great ability of being small at the moment was dodging through different stands causing quite a mess all over the place. Not far behind was Lyra, who was teleporting out of the way of different objects with great precision. “Get back here, Raze! Or you’re going to regret it! TILE FLOORS!” Lyra exclaimed as Raze sped up even more. “To hell with that!” Raze yelled while plowing through ponies. “There’s nothing wrong with school! Why do you have to be so difficult?!” Lyra questioned while Raze turned around and stuck out his tongue. He made a loud raspberry sound and then realized, ‘What the hell?! Stupid childish things!’ But that still didn’t stop him! And that’s when he looked ahead to see an unsuspecting purple unicorn in front of him. “OH GOD!” Raze smashed into Twilight Sparkle, but there were no sparkles today, only pain. He and her both hit some other part of the ground. Twilight groaned in pain while Raze just exhaled in annoyance. “Thanks, Twilight! I almost got away!” Lyra caught up quite quickly. So did the Twins at that point who were eating bananas that just happened to fly into their hands. They were eating them contently. Before Lyra could say anything, another pony showed up while looking at her with a hoof held out. “You going to pay for those or not?” The pony asked her. Lyra blinked, looked to the Twins, and then to the bananas. “How did you… Nevermind, here.” Lyra passed a few bits from whatever pocket she had to the pony. Raze looked at her with an arched eyebrow, “You have pockets?! CAN I SEE?!” Lyra finally realized what just happened, “You shouldn’t be concerned about that! You’re going to school!” Raze’s eyes widened again, “NOPE!” But this time it was too late to run, only Lyra grabbed him with her magic. Raze resisted though and her magic began to shake up a bit, she applied more force, but Raze increased his efforts. Finally, when it seems Raze might just escape, another aura joined in the fray. A aura of purple hue. Twilight smiled, “I just noticed you could use some help there, Lyra.” Raze frowned at Twilight, “YOU TRAITOR!” He yelled while Twilight continued her smile. ‘Well, it’s all over now and to think I could help you, but since you were so mean and didn’t listen to my last line, you must suffer!” Discord said with a smile that could kill puppies. ‘Stupid traitors...’ Raze thought to himself. And so, they were off on a brilliant new adventure. Raze grumbled from inside his cage while the rest of the group walked to the danger zone. The Twins followed behind without a care in the world. Backpacks of mint green attached to their backs. They were truly happy. Twilight and Lyra conversed about various things while Raze had no choice but to listen as they edged closer and closer to the blood red building that haunted his nightmares. Raze would flip upside down and right side up in his floaty cage. “Oh don’t be so grumpy Raze-sensei! School isn’t bad!” Kira tried to comfort him. 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. “Well, maybe if you listened to mommy in the first place you wouldn’t be in it?” Kira replied. “Sure… That’ll happen…” Raze said with obvious sarcasm that the Twins would not recognize. Ken and Kira drew their attention away from him, and looked forward at the building ahead. Raze glanced ahead as well, and found that the Cutie Mark Crusaders were surrounded by their parental figures, or older siblings in front of the school building. They looked to be quite angry at them a little bit anyway. Lyra and Twilight looked to Raze with arched eyebrows, Raze didn’t even have to say anything to know that it was hopeless to argue. ‘I knew it, all bets are off…’ Raze thought while trying to turn around in his magic cage. He ended up doing a magical midair flip and that was it. Luckily for him, turning in motion didn’t make him sick. The teacher of the school exited from the building, and took a single glance at the CMC, then to the twins, and finally her eyes set on Raze. Her eyes were filled with confusion before rolling them and turning back and going straight into the building. 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.” “No problem mommy!” Kira stated. Raze smiled evilly, ‘One hole in a building coming up!’ Discord frowned, ‘I don’t think so, you will suffer for my pain!’ Raze frowned in discontent again, ‘Traitor, I will manage something awesome! You can’t stop me!’ “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. Lyra dragged Raze into building and dropped him on the floor. Raze hit the floor with a small groan, but got back up immediately and tried to walk past Lyra only to realize that he was looking at quite the group of ponies. ‘Seriously? Why am I here? What does the Super Saiyan Gods have against me?’ He immediately turned around and Lyra smiled. “I thought so.” She said as Raze stuck out his tongue again. Raze walked alone for a minute before being joined by the Twins. “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. “Ffffffffuuuuuucc-” As he was hit out of thin air once again. ‘No cursing, Raze, now you’re in a room filled with children.’ Discord said darkly. ‘Screw off.’ He thought back instantly. Raze took a glance around, it was pretty much a average school room. Only enlarged a bit and it has a old chalk board instead of the electronic board he had in his school way back then. He noticed no pens of any sort, instead pencils, quills, and ink bottles. The entirety of the room was filled to the brim with seven, eight, and nine year old fillies and colts, the Twins included of course. ‘What is this? Ye ole school house?’ Raze thought to himself. Raze sat down at a random desk in the middle of the room and quickly looked around to see another filly approaching him very quickly. She looked to be a pale magenta with a mane of pale violet and white streaks in it. She looked at him with narrowed eyes, “What are you doing in my desk?!” Raze looked at her curiously, “Well? Are you using your eyes? I’m sitting and it’s quite comfortable despite this evil place.” She arched an eye, “Well? Why don’t you move, Monkey?!” Raze looked and leaned over to her, “What’d you say, I didn’t catch that.” She got to his ear and whispered, “Why don’t you move, Monkey?” Raze sighed, “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 asked him. Raze didn’t notice the Twins and CMC watching just a little ways away. Raze narrowed his eyes and they seemed to dilate, “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.” She backed up, unused to such treatment, and then galloped to the other side of the room. She found a desk and sat there followed by another gray filly that he didn’t know. He then turned and put his legs up on the desk to be more comfortable. That’s when Kira walked over finally. “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. 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!” Ken finally came up along with the rest of the CMC who were in awe at the sight of Diamond Tiara retreating to a new desk. They were quiet for a split moment, before Scootaloo yelled, “That, Was, Awesome!” Raze took all the praise with confusion and modesty, “Yeah, I’m pretty awesome like that.” The school bell rang, immediately children all around Raze scrambled to get to their desk before the teacher could discover they weren’t in them. The teacher’s door to her lounge opened wide, revealing a magenta colored pony with kind, caring… diabolical, evil, he has to get out here, eyes. ‘I never signed up for this…’ Raze trailed off in his thoughts. “Alright class, as you all know I’m Ms. Cheerilee, and we have a new student, by the name of Raze Heartstrings.” She looked to Raze, “Would you introduce yourself to the classroom?” Raze looked at her with twitching eyes, “Fu- I mean sure.” He walked to the front of the classroom beside the caring school teacher. He looked down at the floor and then at his fingers, ‘Help...’ He breathed in deeply, “Iwillhurtallofyouifyouannoyme!” Cheerilee looked at him 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…” He trailed once again. Cheerilee looked at him once more, “Are you sure that’s all you have to say?” “YES! Thing!” Raze said while walking back. Cheerilee frowned, but said nothing. “Today class we’re going to start with Math.” She exclaimed with too much joy. The entire class responded with the happily… And wanting… Expression of groaning. Raze was indifferent, ‘Math? Ughh….. Wonder what kind of math this place has?” With absolutely no explanation, a piece of chalk appeared in her hoof, and she began drawing awfully basic math equations on the board. Raze looked at them, “Whut in the heck is she doing?” He suddenly got curious and asked Applebloom a simple question, “What grade is this?” “This is third grade.” She whispered back. “Third grade and your learning ten plus twelve?” Raze arched an eyebrow. “Well… Yeah!” Applebloom said with confusion. Needless to say, the next hour was boring. Raze had done all of these problems in seconds. He even made a whiteprint of the entire bottom of his ship. He even doodled images of Frieza being crushed by his ship or at least what he thought looked like Frieza anyway. Cheerilee walks next to him, “I have to say Raze, you solve math equations faster than even the Twins.” Raze looked at her, “Well, this is too easy.” Cheerilee nodded with a smile, and left to check the others, by the time she was done. She exclaimed, “Arts and Crafts time, today we are making pony paper chains.” Raze looked at her and then back at his doodles, ‘I think that I am just going to keep drawing.’ So he did, for the next two hours he drew while the rest of the class actually worked on what they were assigned too. Which meant lots of paper scattered about the place as they all usually tried to make cut up objects besides ponies. Raze felt many pieces of paper fly onto his head where it began to make a steady pile. Raze still kept drawing despite the obviously huge stack of paper that sat upon his head. Ken poked Raze, which drew his attention for a split second, Ken clad in paper helmet, sword, and shield. “Look Raze, I’m a knight!” Ken said joyfully. Raze didn’t look, but said, “That sounds awesome, you should go be that.” Ken frowned, “You didn’t even look, Raze!” He began poking his paper sword on Raze’s arm. Raze turned his head while keeping the pile of papers completely well balanced, “Looks pretty awesome there, happy?” Ken pouted, “Not funny.” Raze turned back to his papers, but underestimate Ken’s drive to get his attention. Ken looked up to the pile of papers upon Raze’s hair and promptly grinned mischieviously. He walked behind Raze, and with a small Ki enhanced breath, blew the papers all across Raze and his desk, sending his own drawings scattering about. Raze frowned, “Darn, now I have to get up to get them…” He trailed off as he flew out of his desk and to the top of the room. ‘Okay, where are they?’ Raze thought to himself while seeing the teacher looking at something oddly familiar. ‘Oh shit...’ Well, there are worse that could happen. Right? He heard Kira’s voice rang out, “What is this alien girl under that ship?” ‘Oh my Celestia...’ Raze then realized that he was saying this again and hit himself. Can’t get any worse? Right? *Ring* The lunch bell, thank… Whatever. Raze immediately flew to the door and escaped from the room, “Wait a second… Where’s my capsules?” ~Flashback~ “Hey, Raze-sensei. Can we see what you used to make ships?” Kira asked him while her tail wiggles in excitement. “Uhhh… Sure.” Raze said while handing over the case. ~Flashback Over~ ‘Wow, I really do suck…’ Raze thought to himself as his stomach began to growl. He saw Kira going up to him. “Say Kira, you wouldn’t happen to have my capsules. Would you?” Raze questioned Kira. “Capsules… Oh those thingys! Nope! But I noticed you didn’t make a lunch, so me and mommy made you one!” Kira opened her bag, and pulled out another then gave it to Raze. “Thanks, Kira!” Raze exclaimed while holding the bag above his head. The entire class went outside and found several picnic tables to eat at. Raze sat down at one of the tables and was promptly joined by the Cutie Mark Crusaders, and one Ken. They ate silently for about two minutes, meals devoured with ease, suddenly Scootaloo popped a scooter out of nowhere, Raze arched an eyebrow before both his eyebrows rose when Kira popped out a skateboard. The two girls looked to each other with competitive grins. They left the table and placed their vehicles on the ground, Scootaloo got onto the scooter and her wings went superspeed like a buzzing bee. Kira got on her own skateboard, tail swishing in the wind. They blasted away from the confused boys and fillies, “Wow, I never did tha- Are those swings?!” Raze left the table immediately. Before Raze could get to the swings though, he noticed that were filled up already. Raze looked at them and hit the ground with his knees. “NOOOOOOO, WHY CELESTIA!?” Raze yelled to the heavens. Ken placed a hand on Raze’s shoulder, “Yeah, it sucks! Wish there were more swings.” Ken said. Raze frowned sadly, “It’s just not fai- WAIT A MINUTE! Is that a slide?!” Raze went over there immediately ran for that with Ken following close behind only for several other ponies to get there first. Raze’s whole body hit the ground this time. “This is ridiculous!” Raze yelled to whatever gods that were watching over him. “Why can’t I- Is that- “ Ken just grasped his arm and began to rush both him and Raze toward the Jungle Gym before the mass of ponies could assualt it. “No time to say, let’s play!” Ken yelled. 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 while continuing his 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!” 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. Raze smiled alongside Ken, “I’m the commander in chief of Ken’s armed forces!” Surprisingly, it was 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. Raze tapped Ken on the shoulder, “Why are we just standing here?” “We’re going to flick their foreheads to defeat them!” Ken grinned, his flicking finger ready for action. “Wouldn’t that cause injury if they fell off though?” Raze questioned with a small amount of concern. “It’s not that high silly!” Ken replied. At that moment a filly tried to get on top, only for Ken to gently flick her forehead. She fell back holding her head, and fell to the ground tongue outstretched in a fake death. Raze nodded, “Okay then…” “You guys can’t win- Wait, wait, wait!” Ken shouted. Out of the blue, Ken was tackled to the ground by Featherweight which caused both them to fall toward the ground. “Of all the ponies… “ Ken muttered. Featherweight smiled, “I’m going to be a hoofball player thanks to this!” Raze found himself overcome by the amount of fillies and colts, “Help! I’m being oppressed!” He found himself yelling despite the fact that he was just fine. A flag appeared over the Jungle Gym, proclaiming victory for the ponies, their ‘human’ enemies defeated. Kira had returned from skateboarding and was eating a tuna salad sandwich. Raze and Ken were recovering from the attack. It was long a fought battle, but they finally returned home from over skies. They herda bell ring and Raze’s entire body completely drooped to the ground much like a tail of a Saiyan. “Well, just a little longer…” Raze and his entourage of friends/traitors except Kira returned to the evil lair of Cheerilee. ~School Again…~ Raze sat in the desk, he had paper again, but this time it wasn’t the same. The class they were in now consisted of grammar. Now he had quite the understanding of his world, but for some reason, he had no idea what to make of the words here. See, everyone talks english in this world, but for some reason it was all different, ‘What in the hell is up with these books? I thought the universal language was English!’ Raze instantly raised his hand despite being in school for one day, “CHEERILEE!” He yelled rudely. Cheerilee walked up to him, “What is it, Raze?” She asked kindly. Raze put the open book into her face, “What is this?” “It’s a book, you can’t read it can you?” She replied. Raze nodded slowly, “We talk english, but these are not english, why aren’t they english?!” Kira voiced out, “What is english?’ “You just spoke in english!” Raze said while waving his hands around. “Well yeah silly, I had to say the word english in my question!” Kira replied. “I think he means equestrian.” Cheerilee stated. Raze smacked a hand against his face, “You just spoke in english! We all are speaking english! Why is everyone so mental?!” “Did he say dental?” A random filly said. “Whats wrong with our teeth?” Another random filly questioned. Ken scratched his head, “I don’t think our teeth are english.” He said. “No, my mom told me that my teeth must be ship-shape!” A colt exclaimed. “I don’t think mommy Lyra ever brought us to the dentist before… “ Kira trailed off. Raze knew that it was pretty much out of his hands at the moment, so he opted out, “I’m just going to sit here for the rest of class…” ~Hours passed and now there was only one minute~ Raze stared intently at the clock, ‘Come on… Come on… ‘ With each tick, the large handle drew ever closer to the mark of twelve, ten… Eight… Five… Four… Three… Two… One. 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. “Finally!” Raze exclaimed, he noticed that Ken and Kira had already equipped their backpacks onto themselves, ready to go. “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. Raze felt that strange tug at his heart, but he tried to ignore it, “Uhh… Yeah, sure.” “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. Raze turned his head to the side as his stomach joined in, ‘How does she do that?’ “Alright, we can go eat out… But no reordering more than three times!” “Yay!” The Twins cheered in joy. “I can do that… “ Raze trailed off. ~Outside the Restaurant After Eating of Course~ Raze smiled while patting his stomach, “I can’t believe we got her to give us a fourth helping!” “I know, my stomach is very happy!” Ken exclaimed in joy, “I was scared it was gonna eat me earlier!” “Um, I don’t think we should’ve eaten so much… “ Kira trailed off. Lyra stared at Raze with a frown on her face, and glanced down 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. “Are you our new brother now?” Kira asked as she tilted her head. “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. “Twenty two years old, and that’s old for saiyans?” Lyra questioned with some worry. “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. Kira walked next to Raze, and looked like she had something to say. But every time she seemed to get close to gathering the courage to say it, she glanced toward her brother and stopped all together of even mentioning it. When they had gotten close to the house, everypony and Ken had entered. However, Kira had pulled on Raze’s shirt, preventing our hero from following the rest of the group into the building. “Um… Raze-sensei…” Kira trailed off. Raze felt the tug on his shirt and then turned to hear Kira say something, “What is it?” “Well, I was… Well… Um… “ Kira continued to sputter on her wording. Raze frowned, “Is something wrong?!” He exclaims at her. “Iwanttobetrainedharder!” Kira exclaimed quickly, her tail twitched in anxiety. Raze felt the breeze blow by and that instantly made him scratch the back of his head, “Uhhh… I 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 looked at him, her eyes easily conveying her inner thoughts of what Raze had told her. Her tail stopped its slow twitching, and she replied with complete sincerity. “Yes! I can do it! I’ll get my homework done early and everything so we can train!” Kira replied. “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 with thoughts of what Super Saiyan Kira may look like. “I don’t know, daddy had said that he doesn’t know if girls can become Super Saiyan.” Kira said. “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 said awkwardly. “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. “Your 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. ‘But I did...’ Raze dejectedly thought while walking inside. Discord flew into the house while following Raze all of a sudden, “Because I can. What’s going on Raze?!” Raze frowned, “You just know how to appear in the wierdest of times…” “I never said for you to question where I come from, just tell me what’s been happening while I’ve been gone.” Discord said while continuing to float around. “I’ve had the worst day of school in my life and Lyra is looking at me weirdly…” Raze found himself being stared at by a confused Lyra. “Ummm… Hi?” He said to her while waving his hand slightly. “You’re not going mental on me are you?” Lyra teased with an eyebrow purposely arched. “Ummm… Maybe you imagined all of that and you’re the crazy mare?” He questioned her quickly. “At least I don’t talk to the wall.” Lyra said with a smile. Discord looked at him and smirked, “She has you there.” Indeed, he was standing before a wall, “Buh… Wuh?” “Very intelligent.” Lyra commented. “Truly a genius amongst your species.” Raze looked at her with a twitching eye at this point, “Well, you’re green! With a harp on your butt!” “And you’re peach, with a black moose on your head.” “Well, at least I have feet!” Raze said while pointing at her hooves. “At least I’m an adult.” Lyra smirked, surely she’d gained victory. “Damn Trixie! Ummm…. Well, how do you play your harp without magic?” He questioned. “Hooves, not that hard to push and pull strings.” “Ummm… You’re a horse!” Raze said with assurance. “And you’re a deformed monkey, we’re all animals.” “No questions there… Let’s agree to disagree!” Raze said finally. “Agreed.” Lyra finished. “So, what do you normally do after an entire day?” Raze asked her. “Number of things, mostly the Twins would play with toys, go in the backyard, and do a number of inventive games they come up with. I usually just read a book, cook, and watch them play. Of course… I do have to clean their room once in a while.” “Shouldn’t they clean their room up? I know that my Godfather never helped me with that, but he was virtually there every other time I needed someone to talk to and he was there for public events.” Raze said to her. “Describe, every other time.” Lyra asked curiously. “Ummm… Well, I guess I could try to. So, after I finished training with my Dad, he’d always leave afterwards… Something about business all the time...” Raze finished with slight disappointment evident in his expression. “Sounds like those nobility neglections in the Griffon Kingdom.” Lyra said. “You’ve had it rough in your… First childhood.” She finished. “My Dad was the king… But my Godfather, Garuth was so much more like a real parent. I don’t remember my Mom too much, Dad said she died, but everytime I try to remember back to those times with her, it’s almost like a void.” Raze said with a slight hollow feeling inside. “Strange, I’m sure the memories will return to you one day Raze. You know, the twin’s have a father too. He’s sealed inside Ken, and I only meet him once during a accident with Discord. Honestly wish I could get to know him more than just a split minute, and having a father around would bring wonders to Kira.” Lyra said. Raze felt like he should tell her, but then he strayed away from the idea, ‘She’ll just think I’m crazy…’ Discord nodded, “Well, I could zap everyone inside real quick once sleep takes over. All it takes is a snap of my eagle claws.” Raze almost nodded subconsciously, but stopped himself, “Umm.. Well, maybe you’ll see him sometime.” Lyra nodded, “Now, go and play with the twins. Or check up with your friends! I’ll just catch up on this interesting book I was reading before… “ She said, lifting up a book and walking over to the nearest recliner. “Sure…” Raze immediately began to climb the stairs with Discord following him. ~End of Chapter~ Author's Note So that happened... A Moment to Move; Chaos Unbound!~Journey of Saiyans Chapter 12~ Raze turned over on his little makeshift bed as he felt a small breeze blowing in from the window. He shivered and snuggled further into the blankets. Discord watched them while they slept. ‘This is pretty… weird. I wonder when they’ll be getting up.” On the top bunk of a twin bunk bed, a certain eight year girl promptly awakened, sitting up as she rubbed her eyes due to drowsiness. Kira yawned, before pushing the sheets off of her and climbing down slowly via the ladder. ‘Ah! There we go! Now to watch and wait… And Action!’ Discord smirked as he watched her finally touch the floor. Kira stretched, before her Ki senses went off a bit and she hastily turned around to see who was there. Only to see a still sleeping Raze, she tilted her head in confusion before her body reminded her of nature’s call. She rushed to the bathroom soon after. The loud stamping of her feet woke Raze from his slumber and his eyes parted slightly only to see Discord watching him. ‘Why don’t you ever sleep?’ ‘Why do you sleep at all?’ Discord retorted. ‘Touche…’ Raze trailed off while turning over and pushing himself up. He looked at his hands and realized he was still a kid. ‘I thought it might wear off over night or something...’ ‘Nope, you’re still smaller than ever! But that’s okay!’ Discord said quickly as Raze frowned. ‘Whatever.’ With that, he looked over to see that Ken was still asleep. “Guess that doesn’t change either!” Raze said while walking toward the door. He picked up his boots and walked into the main hallway shutting the door behind him. He put them on and proceeded to float downstairs so as to not wake the one mare pony patrol that snored loudly from an open door in the main hall on the second floor. Raze landed with a light tap on the floor and made his way to the kitchen. ‘Okay, something to eat really fast so I can get outta here for the day!’ He looked around the kitchen and quickly found the bread box. He found the butter and the toaster which he used to make his food quickly. Of course, he left a mess of bread crumbs on the counter and didn’t remember to clean them up as he ate the toast as fast as he could. Discord floated down through the top of the kitchen ceiling. ‘What’s on the plate today, Raze?” Raze had already finished the toast and looked up with a small smile. “I don’t know what to do today! All I know is, we’re not going to school again!” Raze heard footsteps coming down the stairs and then smiled, “Speaking of school, wonder what Ken and Kira have planned for that?” Discord silently agreed with a small nod. Said two twins were stepping down the stairs with their Gi’s on, not their school clothes. They both entered the kitchen area to find Raze, and both looked at him curiously. “Morning Raze-sensei, what you doing so early up?” Kira questioned, her tail wagging behind her. “I’m going to find something to do! Anything will do, I just need to not go to school. And what are you two doing today?” He asked them back. Kira commented, “I think mom only wanted you to see what our school was like… “ But Ken answered him, “Me and Kira usually wake up early to train, that way we don’t get weaker over time. Though we do tend to sleep in during weekends.” “Train?! Let’s go get my ship and I could take it with me somewhere a little farther away from the one mare Pony Patrol!” Raze said to them both. “Pony Patrol? There’s a Pony Patrol?” Ken questioned, looking to his sister. “I don’t know, I never seen one.” Kira replied to him. “It’s your mom! Now let’s go before she wakes up!” Raze said as he got off his chair moved toward the back hallway of the first floor of the quaint home. Kira climbed up the counter, opened a cabinet, and yanked out a box of dry cereal. Then jumped down and both her and Ken followed Raze to the backyard door. Opening the box and letting her twin have some handfuls as they both ate. Raze opened the door and allowed the Twins to pass by as he shut it and flew off toward his gravity chamber. He clicked a button on the outside causing a loud boom to go off and for smoke to puff outward. The smoke cleared and revealed a small capsule in it’s wake. “Alright, let’s go!” He exclaimed while picking up the small device. He blasted into the sky quickly followed by Ken and Kira. “Hey, do you two know any area around Ponyville that we could use as a an area to set this thing down?” “Whitetail woods?” Kira was the first to respond. “The park?” Ken responded next, then paused a bit, “One of the cut-off tops of the semi-destroyed mountains?” Ken seemed to copy. “That sounds like a place that they wouldn’t look for! Okay, that first mountain on the left!” Raze turned toward that direction and flew through several clouds catching moisture on his gi. Ken and Kira followed, but they started to fall behind, Ken exclaimed over the wind blowing in his face. “Raze, slow down! You’re going to fast!” He shouted. Raze realized it quickly and slowed down a bit. “Sorry bout that!” Approaching the surprisingly flat surface of a destroyed mountaintop, the trio of saiyans landed gracefully on top of the rock. Looking around, there was nothing but chunks of boulders, debris, and pebbles within a quite a few meter radius. Also known as, perfect training place! “So, would you like to warm up, or just go straight into the gravity chamber?” He asked the Twins. Discord teleported in just behind him while being completely invisible to the Twins. “You know, it’s rude to leave me behind like that. Not everyone is a Super Saiyan you know.” ‘But nobody was a super saiyan and I figured you were just being silent.’ Raze finished the thought realizing that Kira was trying to say something to him. “Raze-sensei, hello! Are you even listening!?” Kira exclaimed, a pout on her little face. “Ummm! Disco-! I mean, yeah! What were you saying, Kira?!” Raze asked her. Kira stomped her food in agitation, “Ugh! You weren’t listening at all!” Ken scratched the back of his head, “What Kira said was the start in gravity chamber cause… School… “ Ken said, “But I say we take our time!” He exclaimed. “Okay! Sure!” Raze clicked the top of the capsule and threw into the middle of the clearing. ~One loud boom and large cloud of smoke later~ “And there we are!” Raze concluded while walking up to the chamber’s front door itself. Ken walked up as well, following Raze into the gravity chapter, Kira coming soon after as she finished the remaining cereal within the box she was carrying. Kira ran up to Raze and asked a simple question. “Is there a trash can in here?” She questioned, holding up the empty box. “Think there is, but just blast it instead. Much easier.” Ken suggested. “Well, that’s not how your suppose to get rid of it.” Kira replied. Raze smiled, “Can I blast it?!” Kira threw it at Ken, who caught it. “Fine, I don’t care anymore.” Kira answered him. Ken chuckled, and threw it into the air, and blasted it into dust particles with a simple Ki technique. “There, problem solved!” Ken stated. ‘I could have made it into candy or something...’ Discord sighed dejectedly. ‘Box candy doesn’t sound good at all, besides you’re going to be watching us train for once!’ Raze exclaimed to him. Raze needed to pay more attention to the two twins, because being part human gives you utmost curiosity, and sometimes, impatience. Ken was both, as he had walked dangerously close to the gravity controls and was inspecting the buttons. Kira behind him with a worried, yet curious expression on her face. “Don’t think you should press that.” Kira said. “Raze pressed it last time, so it does the same thing right?” Ken said. Discord smiled, ‘I suppose that’s one incentive to be here. Though I wonder how well off you’ll be since you’re technically the same age as them.’ “Just because I turned back into a kid doesn’t mean my power was reduced or anything. That would really be stupid if somebody thought that turning back into a kid means you lost your abilities.” Raze turned to an invisible screen looking at whatever invisible people may be staring back. Discord coughed awkwardly to get the point across, ‘Yeah, that would be dumb.’ Discord quickly used magic to hide his thoughts from Raze, ‘Note to self: Cancel Dragon Ball; God Tier my horrible fanfic.’ *click* The voice of the computer came through, “Now activating five hundred times normal gravity.” A great deal of pressure came down abruptly upon Raze’s smaller body. Raze felt it all at once as his legs buckled and he hit the floor. Ken and Kira didn’t fair much better, both of them lying on the floor as they struggled to get up. They both raised their Ki’s to their highest levels, but it still wasn’t enough. Raze felt around while raising his power. He found purchase finally as he gripped the floor and began to try pushing himself up. His power raised until his he finally decided to just go super saiyan. “HAAAAA!” A loud yell was heard as Raze transformed and finally was able to stand up on his own. He took heavy steps over to the middle of the room began to turn down the gravity to a much more manageable level of five. The pressure alleviated from the area and Raze could safely let go of his transformation. “You know, you two should be more careful. I hope that you don’t have any broken bones from this.” Raze said to them both with a disappointed frown on his face. “I hurt everywhere.” Kira stated simply and to the point. “I think all my muscles are torn…” Ken fared better. “Dad says I tore a lot of my muscles too… He’s healing them though…” He trailed off, struggling to sit up at least. Raze let go of his frown and turned the chamber down to normal gravity, “Let me get a senzu bean.” “A what? A bean?” Kira questioned. “I don’t know… I think dad mentioned something about it…” Ken answered. Raze threw down the capsule for the fridge and went inside it immediately. “Ah! Here we go!” Raze took out the small bag and then got a small bean out. He tossed it to Kira, “Here you go and Ken you’ll be fine if we wait a few minutes.” Kira placed the bean in her mouth, chewed and swallowed. Suddenly, her Ki spiked to a higher limit than before, though not by much, and her muscles rejuvenated themselves within seconds. She was shocked, “I, wha, how? It’s like super magic!” The little girl exclaimed as the reason for how it could heal her that fast. “Well, it might be magic. All I know is that we get a supply of these form a little known seller on Earth. My Dad knows him well or something. Says the company's namesake was “Bean Daddy”.” Raze finished while scratching his head. Discord chuckled lightly, ‘Now that is funny!’ Ken’s facial expression shifted a bit as the Z-fighter within him began laughing like no tomorrow. He stood up, his muscles still sore, but healing nicely.”So, what we going to train today?” Kira corrected him, “You mean, what are we going to learn today?” “What sis said.” Ken replied, pointing at his twin. “I’m just hoping you’ll get a bit stronger from this exercise. Unless you wanna learn something from me. Just ask.” Raze said to them both. “Exercise?” The twins said in confusion. “What kind of exercise? You mean the same one with the gravity stuff?” Ken questioned. “Yeah, something like that!” Raze said while turning up the gravity, but not activating the new weight. Ken groaned a bit in pain, his muscles still aching a little. “So what is it, Raze-sensei?” “Just get ready, it’ll be like normal training, but with added help.” Raze said while typing some new commands in. “And that should be it.” Several holes opened at the top of the chamber and drones began to fly out of the top. Floating around the three children were about ten of them. They focused in on their targets and gained knowledge based on the power they could sense. “These are your new partners besides me. Now you have more to worry about! Trust me on that.” Raze finished with a smile. Kira looked to Raze, “Raze-sensei, you trapped these poor creatures in your ship all the time?!” she yelled in concern, pointing at the drones. “What are they?” Ken questioned. “They’re not creatures of any sort, they’re training assistants. They use your own energy against you, so you won’t just be worrying about me. You’ll have to keep moving whether you want to or not.” Raze said to them with a smirk. Ken knew that smirk, “Uh oh.” Kira tilted her head, “You kinda look like Ken when’s he’s about to attack really fast, and really hard.” Raze nodded as the drones moved into position and Raze put his finger over the button that would activate the gravity, “Get ready!” He clicked it down and the air became heavier. Raze fired a weakened blast at one of the drones and it began to pass the ball around to the other drones. The blast went past Ken who barely stepped to the side to avoid it. Then it came back around making Kira avoid it. Both of the Twins were now separated as the blast moved in and out around them. Ken retaliated, firing his own Ki blast right at the other one. But a drone appeared between the two, and redirected both of the Ki attacks. “Yikes!” Ken shouted as he fell to the floor on his arms, the Ki blast passing overhead. Ken backflipped himself up to standing position only to bend backward to avoid the redirected Ki attack of Raze’s. Kira rolled to the side, and then leapt back. She then cartwheeled forward, before her face at a image of realization. After avoiding being blasted on both her face and rump, she leapt up toward one of the drones to deliver a kick to its weird eyeball thing. It flew back to avoid her attack as another ki blast was thrown into the mix by Raze and caught by the same drone. It flew directly at Kira and made a mini explosion as she was blown backward to the floor. “Expect the unexpected!” Raze yelled to her. Kira looked to Raze, and surprisingly just launched a Ki blast toward his direction. Yet another drone flew down to catch her attack and sent it back at her. But it seemed the little girl was expected that, she ran back to the wall as the Ki blast approached her, then she dodged it, and used the resulting explosion’s boost of momentum to launch herself faster at one of the drones. He smashed her fist right into its eyeball, causing it to be sent flying back. Kira landed, shaking her fist in pain, “Ow, ow, ow, ow! Those things are hard!” Her twin brother on the other hand, separated across the ship from his sister, had his own problems. Three continuously rotating blast kept trying to land a direct him on his small form, the hybrid ducked, dodged, and weaved his way barely avoiding them. Unfortunately, Ken did not process the same luck his sister did. Ken crossed his arms protectively in front of him just in time as three consecutive Ki blast impacted, exploding outward and sending Ken skidding across the tile flooring. His clothes somewhat scorched, and his body aching, Ken somehow managed to stand back up into fighting position. Kira tried to slam her fist against another drone, but failed miserably. She fell face first on the tiled ground as a Ki blast knocked her down, She sat back up, her hands holding her nose.” “Ouch, my nose.” Kira said, rubbing her nose. She got back up, her aura appearing around her as she amazingly jumped high to avoid another blast that bounced off the ground and back to the drones. She managed to grab a drone, and used it as a shield to block a blast. Before she mustered all her strength, and slammed the drone into another, then crushing both against the floor. “Ugh, stupid things!” she heard the voice of her twin yell, whom’s power level rose with his emotions and he effortlessly flew toward two of them, grasped them, then proceeded to crush both between his hands. Then Ken’s power level returned to his normal limits. Raze frowned, “I’m going to lose em all…” Now having enough breather from the drones, Ken and Kira managed to join back together. Then proceeded to confuse the drones’ targeting systems with their coordination of following each other’s movements. With this, they started to destroy one drone after another before all of them were piles of scrap metal. They fell to their rumps, breathing heavily. Kira looked to Raze saying, “Did we… Do… Good?” she said in between breaths. “You did surprisingly very well. I’m impressed! I mean… Now my ship has to make more drones anyway…” Raze trailed off while looking at the scrap metal lying around. Apparently the twins noticed they missed one, unknowingly, they didn’t know someone was in the way. They stood up, and raised their hands toward the drone, and fired two Ki waves toward it as quickly as they could. Discord floated in front of the drone with a confused look, ‘It can actually sense me even while invisible? Strange…” He moved his bear paw up and down while watching the eye on the drone move in time with it. Raze saw Discord and his eyes widened in shock, ‘MOVE YOU IDIOT!’ Discord’s reaction was delayed of course, “Wha- AAGGGGHHH!” A large light filled the air as sparks rained down from the back of Discord. His form now no longer translucent and he looked extremely pained, awkwardly confused, with a pinch of stupidity alighting his face, “What in the world?! You can’t just attack someones back like that… tha…” He saw the Twins looking at him. “Ohhh…. They… Can… See... Me...” Discord finished awkwardly as he looked at the wide eyed twins. Kira’s following reaction came first two seconds after some more silence. She screamed. Loud. Very loud. And hid behind her twin brother as she kept screaming. Raze had no reaction to that. In fact, it was very tough to believe what was actually going on at the moment. Discord was very much behind him there. Ken’s face went into that of shock, a bit of fear, and then pure rage. His body’s stance shifting into that of a protective position in front of his twin as his eyes and hair were already shifting into a super saiyan state. Then, promptly, the golden aura burst around him in a showcase of power as he yelled. “Die Discord! You won’t harm Kira anymore!” He yelled in hatred, his hands releasing a pent up wave of Ki toward Discord. Discord disappeared with a snap of his talons and then appeared beside Raze. “What in the world are they doing?!” He asked him. “Uhhhh…” Raze was about to just try to hide at this moment. Ken caught wing of Discord’s energy signature, his body circling around Kira to stay in front of her as his arms were outstretched. Before he started shooting a barrage of Ki blasts toward the Spirit of Chaos regardless of Raze’s position. Raze reacted quickly enough to dive out of the way as the Spirit of Chaos realized his cloak couldn’t possibly work if he still revealed his power. So, he dropped it and instead went for a magical shield. The attacks exploded around the expanse of the shield, but Discord was safe from the barrage. Raze had his fill of the moment and turned super saiyan himself. He quickly flew at Ken with the intent of knocking him out, “Just stop real quick, Ken! No way in hell am I going to get another one of these anytime soon!” He flew to the side of Ken and prepared to finish off the twin quickly. Unfortunately, Ken noticed Raze’s attempt to stop him from attacking Discord. His mind and instincts set on protecting his twin sister, Ken’s power level unleashed itself into a whole new ball game as his hybrid potential gave him enough strength to not only spin around in time, but land a solid fist right into Raze’s stomach. Then Ken backflipped, the heel of his foot impacting with Raze’s chin before Ken leapt from him and toward Discord’s position. “Okay! End Game!” Discord snapped his fingers and a large magical cage appeared around Ken. It hit the ground with a resounding slam rather than stay afloat with the super saiyan still inside. Discord kept the glowing magic at maximum strength while watching Ken stand up and prepare for another attack. Raze got up slowly with a hand on his gut. ‘Why is my body so soft?’ “Ken!” Kira screamed, but she didn’t move, the expression of fear laced on her face. The hybrid child got up, and slammed his fist on the bars, only to retract them as he hissed in pain, the fingers of his fist a bit bruised. Ken glared at Discord with hate, “When I get out of here I’m going to punch your head across all of Equestria!” He yelled, where he proceeded to strike at the cage repeatedly again and again despite his hands becoming raw. “You’re wasting your time, Ken. And this is timeout anyway. Penalty for striking me when I wasn’t ready and all that jazz.” Discord finished while sitting in the air. Ken grasped the handle bars, his muscles straining themselves to their limits as Ken tried to break the bars apart. His teeth clenching against one another as Ken pulled and pulled. “I. Made. A. Promise.” Ken said to himself, his aura flaring out wildly. A small screeching sound was heard from the bars before suddenly, Ken’s Ki dropped like a bird, falling to his knees in utter exhaustion. Raze walked over to the cage. “What the hell did you do to him, Discord?!” “Me?! He’s the one who attacked first, I just trapped him there!” Discord retorted back. “Why don’t you just let him out then?!” Raze yelled back. “Because he’ll probably just do it again! Besides, I have to get out of here. Who knows what the princesses of this world do to Discords like me.” Discord stated to him. “But isn’t the other Discord a statue?” Raze asked him. “Who knows! Oh… Yeah, I visited him. Oh, Ken! He has a message for you. He wants to rend the flesh from your bones. Whatever that means.” Discord said offhandedly. Ken got up against the bars, his eyes still having hate as he put his hand outside the cage and fired a Ki blast at the Spirit of Chaos. “OUCH! No more bars, just a solid glass like thing with holes in the top!” He snapped his talons and the cage formed into a much better prison. “There we go.” Discord said while Raze smacked a hand against his forehead. “Lyra’s going to kill us. Or you…” Raze finished while tapping his skull against Ken’s cage. Ken expression of hate soon began to waver, knocking his fist against the glass with whatever strength he had left. After a few more seconds, the boy began to look more scared than anything. His eyes watering as he desperately tried to somehow escape the cage with more reason than before. Kira ran up to the cage, and started bashing her fist against it. “Let Ken go! Let him go! Please!” Kira began to beg, her face full of concern. “No, he attacked me first. He can stay in timeout! I’m through with sentiment at this point.” Discord said pointedly while turning away from said cage. Raze sighed, “Scratch that. Chris is going to kill us for real…” Ken stopped his efforts to escape, and instead opted to go into a fetal position as he clutched himself tightly. His eyes distant and tearful… Then… Then his eyes weren’t his own. If it was possible, his eyes held more hate than they did before hand. And it wasn’t Ken’s Ki signature that rose within that cage. “Oh come on. This is overdramatic. This isn’t even a threatening kind of cage. It has sunshine and lollipops as decorations. Seriously, you’re part saiyan in there.” Discord said to the boy who couldn’t hear him. Ken stood up, raising his fist before he slammed it, no, more like punched through the glass. Before it shattered, and he exited out of it, then collapsed and began to cry like a child once again. Kira rushing to his side as she hugged him for dear life. “I’m sorry Ken, I’m sorry! I know you don’t like cages, I’m sorry you were trapped.” Kira apologized again and again. Discord looked at his broken cage and the Ken that was on the floor. “Where did that even come from?! Raze, you know transformations and stuff! What was that?!” Raze shook his head. “I don’t know…” Raze trailed off in his own confusion. “I wanna go home.” Ken cried, “I want mom.” Kira nodded, “Okay.” she said as she helped Ken up. Discord frowned. “I want to go home too, Raze. Do you think that Doctor guy will be finished soon?” “No… But we should probably help them get home faster and then you should probably disappear for a bit.” Raze said to him. Discord nodded and snapped his fingers as they left the gravity chamber behind. They appeared in the backyard rather instantly and then there was no Discord to be seen. Raze felt the wind begin to pick up lightly as Kira stood up to see they were already home. Raze frowned as he was sure to hear about a lot more than he’d ever known about Ken. And that he probably wouldn’t be nearly as trusted as he had been before. All the issues we’re going to get staggeringly much higher than they’d been before, he had that feeling. Raze sighed, “Well, let’s get inside. They’re going to have to hear this.” Raze started walking toward the home with a somber look in his eyes. Once inside, Lyra was on them all in an instant, “You skipped school! You had my twins skip school!” she said in anger at Raze. “Well, it was technically supposed to be training, but… We got carried away…” Raze said quickly. “Training is not more important- Oh my Celestia, Ken, what’s wrong!” Lyra said as she looked at Ken. She ran to his side, and Ken instantly hugged her for dear life. Ken seemed to say things at a intelligible speed that Raze couldn’t possibly have caught, wasn’t sure Lyra caught it all either. “It’s fine, go wash up with your sister. You’re filthy, then I’ll make you a good meal alright?” “Alright…” Ken said as both he and Kira walked upstairs. Raze watched them walk off as he prepared his first question. “What is wrong with him?” “Ken is recovering from Cleithrophobia. He has done this only twice before, so I recognize the symptoms.” Lyra answered him. “And wow you’re not as mad as I thought. I mean I thought that Kira would start screaming about Discord or something for a second there…” Raze trailed off while pulling his own hair. “Discord? I didn’t catch that from Ken, his voice is really hard to hear when he’s experiencing that. Do you even know what Cleithrophobia is?” Lyra questioned with a raise eyebrow, through in her eyes, there was a bit of rage in there. “No, I have no idea what that is. I didn’t take classes on medical stuff, just basic things for that.” Raze said to her. “Take a fear, such as the fear of spiders, then multiply it by a factor depending on past experiences. For Ken, that factor would be a hundred. And then, you have your phobia. Cleithrophobia means a fear of being trapped.” Lyra explained. “That sounds weird. Though… Hmmm…” Raze thought for a second. “Nope, I was thinking of something else.” Raze said while wearing a frown. “Do you know what Ken does when he’s experiencing that phobia? It’s like his body takes control of him, his power increases past anything he’s had done before. I swear, I thought I saw a little red in his eyes. And tell me, what exactly did you do… To warrant that of him!” Lyra said, now came the anger he was expecting. Raze had some choices, tell the truth or lie and watch as Discord get’s discovered anyway when Kira feels up to telling her mother what had happened. He mulled it around for a bit which caused Lyra to intensify her glare. “Uhhh… What if I told you, Hypothetically, Of course. That Discord had trapped him in a cage for blasting his back?” Raze asked her. Outside, the wonderful and beautiful house of the Heartstrings lay perfectly still and peaceful. “WHAT!?” The house seemed to jump right off its hinges before landing back on the the ground, shaking from the aftermath of a mother’s rage. Raze frowned. ‘That was not expected...’ “What do you mean Discord trapped him?! How did he escape?! We got to warn Twilight immediately! Who knows what chaos he could be doing, hundred to thousands of ponies could be dying by the minute!” Lyra exclaimed in worry. Raze sat there silently while she began to gather up a megahorn and all kinds of things up to go outside and begin warning the ponies of town. Raze continued staring at the wall even as she left. “What just happened?!” Raze yelled to nobody. ~End of Chapter~ Author's Note Hope you all enjoyed it. Malfunctions Make For Interesting Interactions (Redone Chapter)~Journey of Saiyans Chapter 1~ A month has passed since the events that transpired at Canterlot. Twilight and her friends had searched for Raze despite what Celestia had told them to do. They turned up with nothing and one by one they gave up. The last pony to give up was Rainbow Dash who despite being the Element of Loyalty had to abandon the cause anyway. Raze had went west to avoid detection of anypony who may search for him. Discord had shown him to a hidden Desert Spring. Then Discord sealed the area so nopony would be curious about it. For the month Raze had trained in Discords own gravity seal. Discord also made humanoid fighters with power levels equal to Discord and forced Raze to stay out of Super Saiyan while training. Right now a stone plated arena had been risen out of the ground itself by Discord. Discord decided there should be a test of Raze's new found strength. Raze stood in the middle of a stone plated arena as Discord watched from a throne far above Raze. Discord cleared his throat “Here stands the hero Raze!” he was met with a chorus of boos from the audience of clone Discords that sat in the stands “And in the four corners of the arena stand the generic humanoid fighters!” Loud cheers from the millions of Discord clones rang throughout the arena as the Humanoids bowed in appreciation of the crowd. “Are you ready?!” Discord questioned the ecstatic crowd of himself. They cheered in response and Discord exclaimed “BEGIN!” All at once the four humanoids flew towards Raze who just stood there. The first ones fist flew where Raze's head had been just a second before. Raze grabbed a hold of his arm and slammed the humanoid into the ground. Another humanoid opted for a ki attack that exploded the floor from beneath Raze who in a flurry dodged each flying piece of stone. Raze then went in for the kill as his left leg slammed into the humanoid's face. Several bones cracked as the humanoid slammed against stone and crumpled into a small boney cluster. Raze looked over at the last humanoid whom had one other ally. Raze recognized the first one he had smashed into the ground “So your back on your feet, let's see how long you last in the next 2 minutes” with that Raze flew forward and threw several ki waves at the two partners which separated them. One humanoid flew into the smoke created for the explosion hoping to avoid Raze and somehow get the jump on him, but Raze had was waiting for him there “You thought wrong!” Raze's hands flashed forward and caught the humanoid in a Flash Cannon which completely disintegrated the creature. The other humanoid stood it's ground and prepared two big green energy balls in each of it's hands 'He's putting a lot of energy in his hands... I guess I'll show him my own technique!' Raze thought to himself as he put one of his hands into the air. Instantly a ball of ki appeared out of his hand and started to spin to the right really fast. Then out of the middle of the yellow ball of ki a disc began to appear. The disc began to have jagged areas that looked meant for cutting through objects “Check out my Destructo Ball!” Raze exclaimed at the humanoid whom then put his hands together and pulled his ki together. Discord looked from the sidelines and exclaimed “He's taking a pointer from Bojack! It's the Galactic Buster!” Discord then began to chew voraciously on popcorn. The humanoid combined the energy balls and fired it at Raze. Raze moved out of range and then fired the Destructo Ball at the creature. The humanoid looked up and moved out of the way. It then looked at Raze and a piece of it's face fell off. “Hehe! Looks like you just weren't fast enough!” Raze exclaimed as he focused his energy on the Destructo Ball. 'Seperate!' Raze thought as the Spirit Ball detached from the Destructo Disc and then came back for the final blow. The humanoid never expected it as he was hit by the Destructo Disc first. The humanoid's body tore in half and then the Spirit Ball hit the top half of the humanoid causing both halfs to be destroyed in an explosion of ki energy. Discord looked around the stadium and snapped his fingers causing his mic to appear “Raze, A winner is you! Raze's top score is RUNNING RIOT!” Discord exclaimed as he snapped his fingers one last time which made the stadium start to disappear. Raze looked around as the stadium began to disappear “I think you over exaggerated the whole thing Discord.” he said while walking towards Discord. Discord frowned and said “Well, what did you expect? I enjoy entertainment and making a spectacle! It's one of the reasons that I still want to live!” Raze stuffed a hand into his pocket and pulled out a Capsule Corp. Capsule Holder. “I thought that was because you were immortal...” Raze said as he looked in the box for the mini fridge. “Immortality can be boring Raze, but if your me it's impossible to get bored! If your Celestia though, you will always have a stick up your plothole and that's no good!” Discord said as he watched Raze throw the capsule onto the ground. A booming noise could be heard as a Fridge popped up from the capsule. “It's not the mini fridge, but I guess an apple will be just as good.” Raze said as he looked through the fridge. Raze had looked through once and then decided to look a second time 'Did I eat them that fast? Guess it's time to restock' Raze thought as he went through his capsule case and found his Spaceship Capsule. Raze pressed the button and threw it down. A loud booming sound later and a spaceship stood before them. Raze walked inside for a few minutes and then walked back out holding a bag. “Hey Discord! I'm out of apples, so I'm going to get more!” Raze said as he walked past Discord again. “You're going to that apple orchard again?” Discord asked Raze. “Yeah, I am! The apples there are the closest ones to Sweet Apple Acres taste that I can find.” Raze said as he looked up into the sky. A few clouds seemed to have drifted out 'That's odd....' 'What's odd?' Discord asked Raze. “I forgot we could talk using our mind.... But look up!” Raze said as Discord followed his eye's. “It's just a few clouds Raze...” Discord trailed off. “Don't pegasi control the clouds though?” Raze asked Discord whom shrugged. “Pegasi tend to stay away from the weather in areas ponies don't control... Like the Everfree Forest is completely natural! The weather comes and goes as it pleases.” Discord said as he looked back to Raze. “Well, thanks for the answer....” Raze hadn't ever noticed clouds drifting due to the amount of training he did and usually he only left when it was night and he had no reason to look at the sky. “You know, instead of leaving you could always eat one of my conjured apples!” Discord said as he summoned a lot of apples. Raze shook his head “Your apples always end up being candied apples or some weird kind of gummy like thing.” Raze said as he scrunched up his face “They always end up being bland.” Raze finished by sticking out his tongue. “Well, you don't have to eat them! You can admire their red texture.” Discord said as he summoned an apple into his hand. “See? That's what I'm talking about! That apple looks deformed!” Raze exclaimed as he turned to the direction where the apple orchard was that he had found two weeks ago. “You set yourself a standard when you took that first bite of Sweet Apple Acres brand... Right?” Discord said as he glared at Raze. “Yep!” Raze said simply as he launched himself into the air “See ya later Discord!” Discord waved as Raze disappeared into the distance “Now it's time for me time!” Discord looked around to make sure the desert wasn't staring at him and then he snapped his fingers. A shrine appeared with a whole bunch of pictures of Celestia and it was all encompassed by a heart. “Yes, you are the hottest Princess of them all!” Discord said as he made a flower appear out of nowhere 'She loves me, she loves me not, she loves m-' he was cut off by the author. ~Raze flying through the air~ Raze blasted forward at a high speed. The landscape shifted as he flew towards the orchard 'Wow! This land is beautiful even if it's just a desert!' he thought to himself as he passed over stone pillars. The orchard came up over the horizon and Raze was soon flying over it 'I gotta be careful.' Raze landed near the orchard on a rocky overhang. He surveyed the area 'Three workers? Two seem to switch off every week... Then there's the yellow one whom is always here... He must be the owner' Raze stood up and then flew downward towards his prey 'I have to be quick!' Raze thought as he moved to each tree. He slightly hit each one he passed by and then went back through collecting the apples as they fell to the ground. 'Got it!' Raze thought as he caught the last apple. Raze moved as fast as he possibly could to get back to the overhang. He made it to the top and then looked down. He saw a yellow pony looking around with the other two workers looking around the orchard 'Nobody saw me... Perfect! I'll have to pay them all back... Someday...' Raze thought to himself as he turned around and ran towards the end of the overhang. Raze jumped off the side and flew out of sight leaving behind the three ponies to search for the apple thief. A yellow pony with an apple for a cutie mark looked up at where Raze had been previously. This pony's name was Braeburn and he was the owner of the Orchard. He glared at the overhang and then threw his hat onto the ground “The varmint got away!” At the sound of Braeburn's voice the other two ponies stopped their search and went towards the area where Braeburn was. “Don't worry Braeburn! We'll get it eventually!” said one of the farm workers. “I hope that's true Apple Fritter.” Braeburn said as he picked up his hat and the trio of workers left the Orchard for then night. Braeburn took one look back and thought 'Ill get that varmint one day!' before turning back around and finally leaving. ~Discord's Retreat~ Discord sensed something was approaching the retreat he had created 'Better put all of this away.' Discord thought as he snapped his fingers. Instantly his shrine and everything else he made pertaining to it disappeared into thin air. Discord then looked on the horizon and saw Raze approaching. Discord tapped his his talon on his other arm for a few seconds and then Raze touched down in front of him. Raze slid for a few seconds on his feet before coming to a stop “I'm back!” Raze said as he put down the bag and then Raze went over to his ship and fridge. “Well, it seems you were successful in your little trip to the market.” Discord said as he floated over to Raze. “Yeah, but one of them might have saw me.” Raze said as he clicked a button on his fridge after putting a majority of the apples he had into it. He picked up the fridge capsule and put it back in it's case. Raze then went over to the ship and quickly found the button to transform the ship into a capsule. He then picked up that capsule and put it in his case “There we go! All cleaned up and now I can eat!” Raze said as he looked at Discord expectantly. “Here ya go!” Discord said as he snapped his talons and a huge flat stone appeared on the sand. “Thanks Discord!” Raze exclaimed to Discord. “Anytime.” Discord said as he summoned a stone of his own, a lawn chair, and a pair of sunglasses. Unknown to Raze a tracker had been placed on him and though it disappeared when he went inside Discord's barrier it had practically locked on him once he had stopped moving. ~On the TARDIS~ “It's brilliant!” The Doctor exclaimed as he went around the main control panel. He moved levers and pressed buttons with his hoofs as he laughed insanely. “What's going on Doctor?!” Derpy asked as she watched him run around his control panel. “Well did you see that blip on the main screen?” The Doctor asked as he pressed buttons and pulled levers. “Yes, but I always see blips like that on the main screen.” Derpy said as she watched him finally stop at a button. “Well those blips aren't relevant, this however is” he then turned to Derpy “We've found Raze and there's only one way to go now!” He looked at Derpy and then back at his hoof above the last button “Avante!” The TARDIS whirred to life as it homed in on Raze's last location. It then flew into the air and then changed directions going towards the shielded safe haven. ~Raze Eating Apples~ Raze munched on the apples while Discord amused himself by making fountains of chocolate milk. Raze looked over at Discord and said “I don't understand your addiction to chocolate....” “Mah boi! This Chocolate is what all true warriors strive for!” Discord retorted back to Raze. “Touche....” Raze said as a blue box blasted through Discord's shield and over Raze's head “WHAT THE HELL?!” The blue box smashed into the ground before hitting the ground. It slid through the sand for a good 15 seconds before finally stopping at the end of the trail. Discord looked at the box and then back at Raze “That was more random then anything I have ever done before.” he said to Raze whom walked towards the box. 'This is that box the Doctor was in from before, so that must mean....' Raze thought to himself as he approached the box. 'That must mean what?!' Discord questioned Raze. “Tha-” Raze was cut off as a familiar gray pegasus glomped him “RAZE! It's so nice to see you again!” she exclaimed in joy as she crushed him in her arms. Raze returned the hug, but he wasn't nearly as excited as she was about it. Derpy let go of Raze and stood up “Why did you lea-” she was cut off by the Doctor coming out of the TARDIS. “We ended up exactly where I intended!! Except for the burn marks... A little trouble there, but there's nothing this beautiful blue box can't do!” The Doctor said as he hugged the box “Who's my beautiful baby? YOU ARE!! My pretty police b-” he noticed Derpy staring angrily at him “I mean your my pretty.... Derpy?” she rolled her eyes and looked at Raze. “You ready to come home Raze? Everypony misses you a lot!” she exclaimed to Raze as looked away. “I only attract attention to Ponyville and I nearly destroyed Canterlot, I can't let that happen!” he exclaimed as he walked off when the Doctor appeared in front of him. “Raze, you're not the only one whom attracts attention to this world of ponies. The Princesses attract the attention of many potential enemies all the time! Even I attract foes to this world, but I always rise to the occasion and defeat them as quickly and peacefully as possible!” The Doctor said with gusto. “And that's why you gotta come back!” Derpy said as she tried to push the immovable block that was Raze. Raze was starting to see they wouldn't give up. Despite the fact that he had promised himself not to give in to other ponies desire's. He found himself breaking and so he walked forward. “Raze?! Are you seriously about to give in to this little pony?!” Discord asked as he couldn't believe it himself. Raze took another step “I don't think she's going to give up....” Raze said as he took yet another step. Discord rolled his eyes “Well I know you won't force her to quit pushing, so we may as well go...” he flew inside the TARDIS and waited patiently as Raze finally started walking into the box. The Doctor and Derpy trotted in and closed the doors making sure to lock it. The Doctor then trotted over to his control panel and lifted a lever causing the machine to whir to life “I promise you won't regret this Raze! Avante!” he then pressed a button causing the TARDIS to lift itself into the air. The TARDIS then lurched forward and blasted off towards Ponyville. However just before the moving process Derpy had hit a button accidentally. Instead of going towards Ponyville they had hit the time stream instead and now ramifications were in order. ~Meanwhile in a Distant Universe~ “Oh-no! Dialga and Palkia are about to clash!” A trainer yelled at his companions. “Red, you need to get down!” Red, the trainer that had just yelled about the clashing event about to happen nodded and hit the ground. Dialga roared as it charged up energy into a ball in front of his mouth. Palkia charged up power into it's left arm. Green looked and said “This is it!” she was pulled down by Blue and then the attacks were fired. When the attacks hit each other an explosion tore through time and space. ~On the TARDIS~ The TARDIS made high pitched squeals as the energy from that dimension propelled it into another dimension. The Doctor could only say one thing before the TARDIS was hit “Uh-Oh!” Then everything went black. Author's Note This chapter was horrible the first time, but I redid it with more scenes, better dialogue, and some references. Enjoy!
First Meetings Can Be AwkwardJourney of Saiyans Chapter 2 “Ugh... Why does this always happen?” the Doctor questioned himself as he picked himself up off the floor. He walked over to the engine on the inside of the TARDIS and looked at it. It was severely damaged and was smoking a bit “Oh no.... There must have been a dimensional shift that fluctuated through the TARDIS'S mainframe and sent us to whatever or wherever we might be now...We could be at any point in time....” he trailed off as he trotted up the stairs from the engine room. The Doctor found Derpy immediately and she appeared to be hanging on to the railing and still unconscious from the incident. “Derpy? Derpy! Wake up!” he said as he shook Derpy to awaken her. “Oooohhh my head...” Derpy said as she felt herself being shaken up by the Doctor. “Oh thank goodness! You're okay!” The Doctor said to her as she tried to comprehend what was going on. The Doctor helped Derpy up, when that was done, he looked around. He caught sight of Raze whom was unconscious upon the floor of the TARDIS. He trotted over to Raze and said, “Come on! Wakey, wakey!” When that didn't work he gave up and went back to Derpy. “Are you ready to explore a new uncharted world Derpy?” He asked with a great amount of enthusiasm. “I think I'd rather have an aspirin... But I guess I'm ready!” she said with excitement, but she looked back at Raze and asked “What about Raze? Shouldn't he come with us in case of dangerous situations beyond our control?” she finished anxiously. “Nah! I think I can handle anything that comes our way!” He pulled out his Sonic Screwdriver and trotted to the door ready for whatever awaited him beyond the safety of the TARDIS. “Come on Derpy!” He said as he opened the door. Derpy followed him via flying as she touching down beside him as the door opened slowly. Light filtered in and blinded them both, but they kept going forward. The first sight that greeted them were two human looking children, twins to be exact. The Doctor saw them and activated his Sonic Screwdriver and scanned them “Hmmm... That's interesting...” Derpy spoke up from beside him “What's interesting?” The Doctor was about to say something when the first child, a young boy asked him with a face full of curiosity. “Who are you?” The boy said in his childish voice. The Doctor smiled 'He seems curious enough... Well guess I'll introduce us.' he then coughed and said “I'm the Doctor and this is Derpy Hooves! She's my assistant!” he finished. “Well I'm Ken! And this is my sister Kira!” he said while pointing to his twin sister. Kira smiled and said “It's nice to meet you two!” a tail wiggled around behind her in excitement. The Doctor smiled “It's nice to meet you as well! And it's also very interesting, you must be twins!” He then began to inspect them. “Everything nearly alike.... You two look so-” he was cut off by Derpy pushing him out of the way. “ADORABLE!!!” she screamed out in excitement, picking up Ken and looking all over him. “Wow such poofy hair too! Just like Raze!” Derpy said as she put down Ken. “Uh... Thanks?” Ken said to Derpy who then gave him a wall eyed look. Kira had heard Derpy's mention of this Raze character, and her tail curled up in suspicion. “Who's Raze?” she asked The Doctor. “Oh he looks just like you and-” he was interrupted by the TARDIS opening. ~Inside the TARDIS (When the Doctor and Derpy left to go outside)~ Raze finally stirred awake “Ohhhh man, what happened?” “The short story is you were knocked unconscious and now we are apparently somewhere else according to the Doctor” Said a Draconequus, who was sipping some chocolate milk while he sat on a chair looking at some chart in his paw. “Thanks Discord... An explanation like that deserves an award!” Raze then picked himself up and looked around. Discord popped into existence beside him “Well isn't this interesting?” “What's interesting about it?” Raze asked as Discord snapped his fingers. A chart appeared and Discord then pointed to the top of it “First! We got into the blue box! Second! We get hit by something! Third, and my most favorite part, we end up in some new world!” He then snapped his fingers and the chart disappeared. “This always happens when you do something Raze! If your not getting poisoned, then your fighting your dark side, and if it's none of that then the Nightmare tries to take over the world! Then if all that fails you become a giant Oozaru!” Discord exclaimed as Raze looked at him blankly. “And what's all this supposed to mean?” Raze asked Discord. “You're the most unlucky Saiyan alive! I swear even Krillin, the weakest human next to Yamcha, had better luck than you!” Discord took a pause and went further “If I wasn't such a fan of the Dragon ball Z world I wouldn't hang out with you!!” Raze smiled and said “Well then I guess I won't entertain you” he then walked off to the front door of the TARDIS. “WAIT!!!” Discord exclaimed as he continued “I take that back...” Raze smiled again and said “I knew it! There's no way you could stay entertained without me around to make life a blast!” Raze finished with a smug grin. Discord frowned indignantly “I know one way life could be entertaining...” he then snapped his fingers causing several pictures of Princess Celestia to appear “I almost made it to home plate... But I picked Chaos....” “Ummm... Discord can this wait for a while?” Raze asked as Discord gave him a glare. “Whatever!!” He snapped his fingers again and the pictures disappeared “Okay so your going to walk out and I'm going to turn invisible and hide my power” Raze nodded “Okay then let's go” He opened the door and stepped out. ~Outside the TARDIS~ Raze walked out “Hey guys what's going on?” Derpy smiled big “Raze we just met twins and they look like you! Only smaller and so adorable!” “Really well I wanna meet them too!” Raze walked over and saw them. However he didn't notice their faces went from being happy, to scared, to angry. “My name's Raze!” he said as he held out his hand to the two twins. They only stared at him for eight seconds before Raze's face was met with a fist and then being kicked into the dirt. Raze picked himself up from the dirt and said “Whoa... What just hit m-” SMASH! He was kicked again on the side by the boy, Ken. Raze flew back ten feet before crashing into the ground, he quickly got back up with a serious expression on his face. “No way that's happening again!” Raze exclaimed, he reached out with his senses and instantly saw the movement of Ken as yet another fist flashed out. Raze however, put his training to work and grabbed the fist. He then pulled Ken in and started to spin the boy around and then he let go. Ken was thrown off balance, but he used his Ki to set himself straight again. He charged at Raze angrily and began to throw fists and kicks. Raze, having more experience and training, and also having a more calm mind, blocked and dodge most of Ken's attacks. Raze then shot a Ki blast at Ken, which caught him off guard, blasting the young boy a few feet away. Ken caught himself in mid air, frustrated and not thinking clearly, he rushed at Raze once again. Raze took the opportunity to fly into the air. Ken followed quickly, and as Raze climbed higher and higher into the sky. Raze looked down and said “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...” The boy brought his hand to his right side. “Ha...Me!” A ball of blue energy appeared within them and compressed to stay within his palms. Raze knew this attack far to well, so he cupped his hands together too, following Ken's same movements as he prepared his own 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. Raze was winning the struggle, his beam overpowering the younger child, but then he felt a power rise from the boy, a power he knew well as he had it himself. The young boy's eyes changed into a tealish hue, his hair flowed upward and changed into a golden color, an aura burst into existence around the child as he finished transforming into the state of a Super Saiyan. “AAARGHH!” his beam then blasted upwards as it surged into Raze's own attack, it tore through it like scissors does to paper. Raze knew he had to get out of the way, he stopped his own attack and quickly moved to the left as Ken's Kamehameha wave shot past him. Raze looked toward the boy, his eyes widening for a brief instant. “Wow, he's a Super Saiyan!” Ken flew upwards and readied himself for close combat, his face filled with anger as he struggled to control his transformation. Raze, however, smiled and said “If that's how you want to play it, then by all means let's!” Raze'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 knew what to expect and also disappeared. Many clashes could be heard as the two fighters battled it out in the sky. ~On the ground~ The Doctor sighed “Well it looks like their out of reach now....” Derpy nodded “Yep... This happens normally I'm sure... Right Kira?” she asked the other twin child who was looking astounded at how Raze transformed. “He can go Super Saiyan?” Kira asked as if she hadn't saw that coming at all. “Well of course he can! What did you think he was?” Derpy asked her, tilting her head in question. Kira looked down, both her and Ken had thought completely differently and guessed the worst before looking and gathering info like their father had told them to always do before rushing in. She kicked the ground, 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. “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. Kira whispered something about “Mommy is gonna kill us” but nobody around could hear it. ~In the Air~ “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?' Suddenly Raze's senses were overwhelmed 'I sense two energies coming from this kid... What's happening, his rage suddenly stopped and his personality seems to have shifted into a more intelligent and powerful person...' The boy powered down as his rage finally finished cooling down, he looked up to Raze with a calculating and very, very intelligent look. 'What is he?! There must be an answer for two different power levels...Much stronger, and it almost felt... Dare I say it... Familiar somehow....' The boy signaled Raze to follow him down toward the, what appeared to be a backyard where the TARDIS had crashed. Ken floated downward until he touched the grassy ground. Raze quickly followed and stood on the ground seconds later. Raze powered down and looked at the kid. He still looked different “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.” A more mature voice said through the Ken, a father from the sound of it. The boy's personality shifted again, returned back to the innocent face of a child, through holding his head from a headache, which seemed to have quickly disappeared. Raze also noticed how the wounds he inflicted on the child earlier where healed already. 'He heals fast too, much faster than an average saiyan...' Raze thought to himself as he looked at Ken. The boy finally 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. Raze shrugged “It happens” ~End of Chapter~
Protective Mothers and Doctor Brilliance~Journey of Saiyans Chapter 3~ Raze shrugged “It happens” Ken wiped his tears and smiled, happy that Raze forgave him. Raze took a quick look around. 'A backyard... It's unfamiliar to me, so I must not have been here before. Ken seems to trust the Doctor and Derpy, so it's safe to assume Ken knows the pony species well enough, though I'm not sure how to approach the situation...' Raze suddenly felt his hand being grabbed, he looked down to see Ken holding it with a smile across his childish face. “Come on! I'll show you sis!” The boy seemed to pause for a bit, probably searching for his sister's Ki signature, before he dragged Raze toward a direction. When they arrived, a small girl with a tail ran right up to Ken and grabbed him in worry. “Ken are you hurt?” She concernedly asked. Raze was also met with concern from Derpy, whom was checking him over several times for sighs of injury. “You really got to stop doing this stuff Raze! Or you'll end up in the same hospital bed next to Rainbow Dash.” Raze laughed and said “I don't think I would've taken to much damage this fight, after all Ken was a little unfocused.” He finished as Derpy finished her own little examination. “I suppose you didn't get any damage, but just be more careful!” Derpy said to Raze. She then hovered over to Ken and examined him, but found no wounds on the boy. “He'll be fine Kira, no need to worry at all!” She 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. “Well it's nice to meet you!” Raze said to the twins. “So, where did yo-” Kira stopped as another voice rang out loud and clear. "Ken, Kira I'm home! And I brought dinner!" At the mention of food, the 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. A lime green pony looked out the window, it was Lyra, she stayed at the window looking out and squinting her eyes looking for something, but there was a heavy fog covering the area. She decided there was nothing to worry about and walked back in. Raze took notice that Lyra hadn't seen them. “She couldn't see us? Why couldn't she see us?” he asked nopony in particular. The esteemed Time Lord smiled and said. “I put up a fog-like field around us using your DNA Raze. It's unique and that means nopony can see us. Now, we can address the issues were having right at the current moment.” He trotted towards the TARDIS and opened the doors. “Come along! We need to evaluate the full amount of damage sustained by the TARDIS in the temporal shift.” Derpy followed the Doctor and then looked back at Raze when she reached the door. “Raze are you coming?” Raze nodded and proceeded to follow Derpy into the TARDIS. He closed the doors behind him as he entered and looked over to The Doctor, who had went down the stairs on the other side of the primary control panel and started going through the motions of following through each wire to decide if they needed replacement or repair. Derpy had followed and now sat watching apprehensively while thinking of other things 'Muffins... Muffins would be really nice right about now' Raze walked over to Derpy and sat down as well. The wait seemed to last for over half an hour before the brilliant Doctor finally spoke out in a scientific tone. “The quantum time matrix was overloaded causing the TARDIS to shut down. Now, I should be able to make the parts, but that will take around two weeks at the least.” The Doctor said, suddenly Raze appeared in front of his face. “Okay two weeks and then we leave!” The full-blooded saiyan yelled, but then the Doctor shook his head in defiance. “I'm afraid it's not just the matrix, but I also need to repair the wires that were damaged, and then every other slightly damaged circuit, plus we need to find somepony with enough magical knowledge and prowess to fix several screens that were damaged in the crash. All in all that should take another three weeks and possibly more then that depending on if anything goes wrong.” The Doctor looked at them waiting for a reaction and he definitely got one. Raze face turned into a pretty angry one at this point. “A month!? Possibly more!? This can't get any worse!” The saiyan complained, through his arms into the air in testimate to his frustration. Derpy looked down, a bit sad, but then she perked up and said. “Why are you reacting so badly? This could be a chance to make friends!” She yelled in happiness. “Well.... I don't know” Raze said, looking to the side. The Doctor smiled saying. “Raze, you should make the best of this opportunity! There are two creatures outside in a house that are from your own race!” the Doctor then paused and then said “Well, they're half your race anyway.” Raze looked at the Doctor and said. “Why should I make friends with a couple of kids? Don't you need my help?” “Actually you would just be in the way, and in the way is when you should be gone and exploring this new other copy of Equestria! Think of the possibilities that could be here that aren't in our Equestria! You could also teach those twins about their strengths and weaknesses! Think of it as a challenge in the beginning, and by the end of it, you'll be remembered fondly after this month!” The Doctor finished his speech while he continued his work on the TARDIS mainframe. Raze glanced at the ceiling in thought. 'So training them? Pros? I gain life long friends, and training partners? Cons? I'm not even sure what the cons would be, I'll figure that out later.' The Doctor took notice of Raze thinking. “So I see you've taken your time to think about the possibilities mentioned before Raze! Right?” The Doctor questioned him and received a nod from Raze. “I suppose... Maybe I could try it out. But what about that Unicorn? How would she react to a full grown Saiyan just waltzing right into her own house?” Raze asked him, to which Derpy then answered. “That's the easiest thing you've mentioned so far Raze! We'll go with you and explain the situation!” She said, as she knew the lime green Unicorn in her world already. “Do you even know her!?” Raze asked Derpy. “Well duh! Her name is Lyra and she lives with her best friend Bon Bon!” Derpy replied looking proud of herself for remembering one of her many friends. “Okay, let's go then Doctor and Derpy.” Raze said as he grabbed one of each of their hooves. “But I was going to stay on the TARDIS!” The Doctor said as he tried to fight against Raze's tight grip. “No, you aren't staying on the ship! Derpy mentioned you would go and now you're going!” Raze yelled as he continued to drag them from the TARDIS. Derpy didn't seem to mind but the Doctor continued yelling “Goodbye Sexy!” to the TARDIS. Finally they reached the backdoor of Lyra's house and Raze knocked on it. ~On the inside of the House~ Lyra heard the knocking from the backdoor and looked at her 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. Yum! Lyra walked toward backdoor, a smile spread across her face. She turned the doorknob and pulled the door open. “Hello come o-” She stopped abruptly in mid sentence when she looked up at Raze. 'He looks like a human...' She thought, a few seconds later her protective side kicked in and she spoke in an aggressive tone toward him. “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, her magic kicking in as her horn glowed a tealish hue. Before anything could happen The Doctor put himself in front of Lyra and Raze. “I think you might be making a mistake Lyra!” Lyra looked at him and tilted her head to the side. “Clockwork? What are you doing so far from your house?” Lyra asked him. “I think you have me confused-” but he was interrupted as Derpy pushed Raze and himself out of the way. “Lyra! It's nice to see other world you!” Derpy yelled, Lyra then smiled and replied. “It's nice to see you too Ditzy, but what do you mean by other world me?” She asked Derpy, in which Derpy opened her mouth to reply only for the Doctor to shove his hoof in her mouth. “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” The Doctor explained excursively to her quickly as Derpy tried to rip his hoof out of her mouth. The Doctor then took Derpy to his side and whispered to her. “We'll explain it to her soon, just let her think we are who she thinks till we can get passed this minor setback.” He turned to Raze and Lyra to find she was angry again. “Now go away Human! You won't be taking Ken and Kira back!” Lyra exclaimed, her horn charging up a powerful spell that could knock even a saiyan back a couple feet to the ground. “But I'm not a human!” Raze quickly said, but Lyra was not easily convinced She looked him over again, her horn still charged, before she said. “Prove it.” “So you want me to prove that I'm not human?” Raze 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...” Raze focused his Ki energy, a white blade-like aura appearing around him as he powered up. Raze reached down inside him and pulled that spark, that endless electric current within him, and felt the power rush through his veins. Raze'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 the cyan colored pony. “Proof enough?” Raze asked her. His powerful aura causing some cracks on the back porch floor. Lyra only nodded with a dumbfounded look on her face. “Wow, another Saiyan?” She asked him as she looked at him up and down. “Well... Yes to be exact” Raze 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.” Raze signaled for The Doctor and Derpy to follow him in. As they entered, Lyra closed the door behind them. Lyra looked at Raze 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 then she and the two twin children went upstairs, the kids probably heading toward their rooms. Raze and the Time Duo got comfortable on the couch. Suddenly, Raze asked The Doctor “Doctor what do we do now?” He said. “Well we have to be truthful! We'll tell them who we are and how we got here, that way we can avoid confusion because she obviously knows us, well not you Raze...” The Doctor said to them as they heard the sound of hoof-steps coming down the stairs. 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. The Doctor 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!” Naturally, the two ponies didn't believe him. “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, but The Doctor just grinned. “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...” The Doctor 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, clearly she didn't have a good day. “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.” The Doctor finished while chuckling “But I'll be there to stop them, because muscle isn't always best way to stop something.” “You sound way to happy about that...” Lyra trailed off as the Doctor looked at her weirdly. “Why wouldn't you be happy about something so deadly?” The Doctor asked her. “Uh... What about you Ditzy? How did you end up with this nut?” Lyra asked her. Derpy 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. “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 to get all the details into his mind and 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. “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. The Doctor nudged Derpy a little. “What do you think they're talking about?” “Maybe they're talking about muffins!” Derpy said to the Doctor. Raze injected himself into the conversation. “I doubt it's about muffins... Besides we have other problems.” Raze turned in the direction of the stairs not to far from the living room. “Well we know you two have been listening in!” He yelled to someone. “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 there attempts at not going fast while floating down, but at the same time keeping as quiet as possible. “Actually I just sensed you... Your energy travels you know!” Raze explained as the twins finally walked into view. Ken took a quick glance around the room before turning to Raze. “Is Mommy and Bon Bon in the kitchen?” “Yes, yes they are.” Derpy said to them as they continued to wait. Kira's tail wiggled in wonder as she tried to guess what they might be talking about. Ken in the meantime, was staring at the object hanging beside of the Doctor, his curiosity got the better of him and he grabbed it. “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. “Whoa... Any lock?” Ken asked the Doctor. “Indubitably!” The Doctor said to Ken, who seemed to smile at the reply. Finally, after a couple more minutes. 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!”
Raze and Discord meet Chris the Saiyan!Journey of Saiyans Chapter 4 “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! “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. “Okay then, how about this! Why does Ken and Kira hate humans?” Raze asked her, but Lyra and the twins gave him wide eyes. Ken and Kira looked away to try and avoid looking in his direction, clearly they didn't like the subject at all. 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. “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. 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. Raze looked toward the twins and said to them. “So, how's the food here? How's the apples?” The two twins eagerly replied, as this was one of their favorite subjects of chat. “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 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 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. The two then walked up the stairs with Lyra behind them, never to be seen until the following morning. Bon Bon looked at Raze and Derpy “Don't mess up anything! I got my eye on you both!” She then gave them quite a stern stare and then walked up the stairs. Once she was out of their sight, all the tension left. “Well good night Derpy.” Raze said to her, setting up the couch to sleep in. Derpy got comfortable in the recliner, and set her head on the pillow. She smiled at Raze and said “Good night Raze.” before she cut off the lights that were on the wall right next to the recliner, making the room turn into the black of darkness. Within seconds they were both asleep. ~Dream-scape~ Raze opened his eyes to see himself within his Dream-scape alive before him 'It's all here! But where's Discord hiding?' He thought as he walked around to find the supposed Spirit of Chaos. “Hey Discord! Where are you?!” Raze yelled, but to no avail he heard no answer. Raze continued walking forward until he finally found Discord. The Lord of Chaos was sitting on a raft in the middle of a chocolate milk lake surrounded by patches of pink grass and floating cotton candy clouds. “Oh you're finally here!” Discord exclaimed, he snapped his fingers causing the lake, cotton candy clouds, and pink grass to disappear or revert to normal. “Yeah I'm here! Why did you ignore me?!” Raze asked, or better yet, yelled, at Discord. “Oh I couldn't hear anything while swimming in chocolate milk... Besides you would've found me eventually, so it hardly matters if I ignored you or not.” Discord said in his matter of fact voice. “Ugh... So what's on your mind Discord?” Raze asked. “How would you even know that I was thinking of something?!” Discord replied, his face in minor shock. “Because you use chocolate milk and cotton candy as a way of avoiding something, or you use it to enhance your train of thought.” Raze explained. He had been observing the patterns of Discord for an entire month since he started training back in his universe. “Well.... You're absolutely right Raze!” Discord enthusiastically said. “So what are you actually thinking about?!” Raze asked him. “Were going to visit Ken's subconscious!” Discord said suddenly. Raze gave him a look with his eyes that clearly said 'I'm about to reprimand you!' Discord rolled his eyes in reply to his stare. “Seriously Raze are you going to stop the fun already?! Before it even starts?! You're absolutely no fun at all!” Then suddenly, Raze brightened with a grin. “Actually I think it's a great idea!” He exclaimed to the Lord of Chaos. “R- really? I thought you would be the party pooper!” Discord said to Raze. “Why do you think that?” Raze asked him. “I made a song for you!” Discord said excitedly as he poofed up a piece of paper within his claw. Discord took a deep breath and began to sing. Every party needs a pooper that's why they invited you Party pooper! Party pooper..... “What do you think!?” Discord asked excitedly. “That wasn't funny at all...” Raze said to him. “That's why your the party pooper and I'm the ruler of parties!” Discord said as a party hat appeared on his head. Suddenly beside Discord a hole opened up and Pinkie Pie ripped through it. “Pinkie Pie?! How did you get in here?!” Raze exclaimed to her. Pinkie ignored him however as she attacked Discord with a big giant red hoof, then took his party hat and put it on her head “I'm the ruler of parties...FFFOOOOORRRREEVVVVVEEEEEERRRRRRR!” She finished dramatically as she went back through the hole and zipped it up. “Wow she knows how to throw a hoof at someone!” Discord said as he rubbed his black eye. “Serves you right for that stupid song!” Raze yelled to Discord whom ignored him. “I thought it was just fine....” Discord then began to prepare his magic. “Are you ready to travel to another Dream-scape Raze?” Discord asked him, ready to snap his fingers. “Yeah! Let's go!” and with that Discord's power surrounded them and then transferred them to Ken's Dream-scape. Though they didn't know it they were intercepted by the seal holding a powerful saiyan Z-Fighter, and the two were drawn into the seal instead of their intended destination. ~Seal-scape~ A flash of golden power and then nothing as two shapes appeared in front of a capsule house in the middle of scenic nowhere. If you didn't count the gigantic forest with small animals that surrounded said house. “Wow, Ken must be pretty sheltered... I mean, I was expecting kiddy things and bright thoughts not this plain old forest.” Discord said, looking around at the scenery that was supposedly the little hybrid's mind. “Maybe Ken hasn't got much of an imagination... This is pretty boring after all... Who would want to live in the middle of nowhere? What kind of dream home is this?” Raze said as he looked around. “This is definitely a capsule house, so there must be some influence from Bulma.” Discord then flew to the air. “You mean the legendary inventor Bulma?! She was a top subject in school!” Raze said, joining the Spirit of Chaos in the air. “You had to learn in school while I was able to watch their life's from the very beginning! It was the best movie ever and you wanna know why? Because they weren't acting, It was 100 percent real!” Discord said smugly to Raze. “Lucky, All I could do was read about them...” Raze said, thinking of the boring years of school. Discord then disappeared and stayed invisible “Raze I'm hiding my power! Something is approaching.” then Discord was silent as Raze also felt the power level incoming at a high velocity. Suddenly a person about Raze's height wearing a black Gi with the symbol for Angel and Turtle on both front back appeared in front of Raze, he looked at Raze seriously, his eyes showing intelligence with no fear of him. A tail wrapped around his waist gave Raze the instant thought this guy was also a saiyan, suddenly the man talked. “What are you doing here?” He asked. “I decided to explore and stuff...” Raze said, the man glared at him with a calculating stare, his arms crossed. “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.” the saiyan 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. The saiyan looked at him with 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.” “Well? Come on! Tell me your name and I'll tell you what you want to know!” Raze said to the being. “Alright, sheesh! 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 Raze. “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. “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. Chris instantly fazed out and reappeared 4 feet away from Draconoquis. In fighting stance, but then calmed down as he remembered something“What are you doing here?” “Oh nothing, just exploring other people's minds besides Raze's for once.” Discord said to Chris. “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. “How did you know about that?” Chris questioned the 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. 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...” Chris whispered the last part. He then turned to Raze and said. “How about we continue this conversation down on the 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. “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. “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 as he tried to come up with more reasons to not train them. “That's where you come in! Your 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. “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. Raze looked up at Discord whom 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. “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. “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 do 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.” “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.” “Then why do Ken and Kira both hate humans? And how did Kira turn half saiyan since she's 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. ~Raze's Dream-scape~ Discord smiled and said “That was fun!” he was still looking at his photo album which consisted of a lot of Princess Celestia and then the picture they made together. “Your still looking at the picture aren't you Discord?” Raze asked him. “Yes I am still looking at the picture, and it is very epic!” Discord exclaimed as he turned it sideways and over again. “Oh and Raze?” “Yeah Discord?” “Tomorrow night we'll visit Ken's own Dream-scape! I found out how to get to it with out being put in Chris's Seal-scape” Discord told Raze. “It's called a Seal-scape?” Raze asked Discord. “Pretty much” Discord said to Raze. ~End of Chapter~
Wacky Discord and Weird PegasiThe morning was eventful, or at least eventful for the two kids that our hero met yesterday. Raze woke up and Derpy did as well, to find out that Lyra was already making packed lunches, and both of the eight year old Ken and Kira, in new clothes with seemingly custom-made backpacks. The two then gave Raze, Derpy, and Lyra they're goodbyes and left to go toward the school house. Lyra had then went off to work and Bon Bon was off to the candy shop where she sold delicious chocolate among other things. Derpy proceeded to go hang out with The Doctor leaving Raze completely alone in the living room, or at least, alone with Discord that is. “You could always go outside you know?” Discord advised. “I don't know what to expect...” Raze replied to the Spirit of Chaos. “Ponies Raze! That's exactly what you would expect!” Discord exclaimed as Raze turned over on the couch, putting his back towards the Draconequus. “Why don't you visit the twins at school and get to know them over lunch?” Discord asked him, Raze turned over yet again and replied in a bored fashion. “Because schools are boring” He said flatly. “School isn't boring, in this case, you're being boring Raze!” Discord told him flat out. “Don't patronize me! Besides, don't you have a princess to woo? Or go talk with your evil self!” Raze told him, making Discord give him an angry stare. “Do you think that Celestia wouldn't question the fact that I escaped my stone prison? And came to her with flowers and chocolates?!” Discord angrily questioned. “Well, why not?” Raze asked Discord. Discord face palmed, “Come on Raze! Do something interesting! I'm so bored!” For the next five minutes Discord became the most annoying thing alive. Pinkie Pie couldn't possibly top his antics, okay maybe she could, but he created so many things to annoy Raze with that it seemed like it. In fact, Raze felt like he was about to explode on the inside of his mind and for all intents and purposes began to think of ways to murder the chaotic god, even going as far as to think to murder him with a pencil to the face. Finally Raze gave up on his diabolical plots, he once again gave into the peer pressure produced from the continuous rantings of Discord. “FINE!” He yelled. He stood up and walked towards the door, opened it and then went out forcibly shutting the wooden frame behind him. Only once Raze finally reached the outside did he realize 'I don't know anypony! And nopony knows me!' 'Why don't you head to the school house and ask Ken and Kira about the town. Surely they would know something if anything about the ponies around Ponyville in this dimension?' Discord said, in his form invisible to all but Raze. 'Well... I guess we could do that! Let's go to school!' Raze then thought that over again 'That didn't sound as cool as I thought... But I was thinking without saying it.... Oh well, Let's go Discord!' And with that he walked down the path towards the schoolyard. Along the way Raze got a lot of stare 'Oh man... They keep staring with those big eyes, it's so weird!' Raze continued down the walkway, trying to ignore all the questioning glances. Raze wondered why the ponies weren't hiding or something, but he guessed it was because of Ken and Kira, and whatever recent events that involved the two mentioned kids. Raze looked around, trying to spot any differences between this Ponyville, and the one he knew. There were several. He looked over to a section of the town, that looked like it had just been rebuilt. 'Strange, I don't remember that part being so new.' Raze thought. 'It might have been a recent natural disaster, or probably from battling my 'evil' self.' Discord said. 'And what makes you say that?' The saiyan responded. 'Oh, I went to Ponyville straight away when I got out of my stone prison last time. I'm absolutely, positively, sure that even me, as in evil me, did the same thing.' 'Your weird you know that?' Discord stood up proudly. 'And I'm proud of it!' An hour or two later, after what seemed to be a walk that lasted forever, courtesy of Discord, Raze and his annoying companion finally arrived at the school grounds. And right on time, as the bell rang indicating Lunch and Recess time for the children of the Ponyville school. Raze entered the playground, causing few foals stared at him with big googly eyes. 'Oh Kami, and I thought grown ponies eyes were big!' Raze mentally yelled, Discord laughed in response. 'Hahahaha, aah, good one. Now onward toward the two munchkins over to your... Northwest.' Raze looked toward said direction to find the twin eating lunch with three other ponies. One pony was snow white with a purple and pink hair stripe mane, another was orange with a purple hue mane, and the last was yellow with red hair and a red bow on top. “Ah, there you two are!” Raze exclaimed toward the two twins. “Raze!” The two twins exclaimed in surprise. “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 the full grown saiyan. “Oh that's fine, I can wait.” He sat down on the wooden bench table. He looked toward the three ponies and said to the twins. “Who's your friends?” “Oh, we can answer that! I'm Scootaloo!” The orange, purple maned one yelled. “I'm Sweetie Bell.” The white, purple pink maned one said. “And I'm Applebloom!” The last filly exclaimed in a western accent. “And we're...” Raze suddenly noticed the twins had their ears covered. 'Uh oh.' “THE CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS!” They screamed in unison. Causing Raze to cover his ears in PAIN. 'Oh my Celestia! That was painful! Wait... did I just say Celestia? Native speech is getting to me, but still that was loud!' Ken said something, but Raze couldn't hear him. He rubbed his ears and tried to hear it again. He said in all this genius in the world “What?” Kira said something as well, but his ears kept ringing. “What did you say?” Raze replied. 'Oh great, I'm deaf!' Discord came to him. 'Here, let me fix that. I nearly went deaf myself!' He snapped his fingers next to Raze's ears, and the world of sound came back to him. “I SAID ARE YOU OKAY?!” Ken yelled at him. 'AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!' Only to hold his ears once again. Thankfully, his hearing came back quicker due to Ken's voice not being as loud. 'Hahaha, oh that was ironic! Two times in a row, don't worry through I'm sure that's the end of the loud attacks.' “Oh, I'm sorry Raze.” Ken apologized. “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.” “Hey!” Both of the said yelled. “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 ponies and the twins groaned. 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. ~Ponyville Marketplace~ Raze looked around at all the fruits and even saw Applejack's stand, but every time he walked over to a stand he reminded himself with a flashback 'Maybe you should go eat lunch? If you got uh... bits? Yeah, bits are the money here.' Kira said. Raze thought to himself 'I never ran into this kind of problem back in the original Ponyville...' 'That's because you never saved anypony from a dragon or helped save the world here! Free food is for heroes, not lazy bums that crash into a pony's backyard!' Discord said to Raze. “Well could you help me then Discord?” He asked the floating spirit. 'That's cheating and you know it!' Discord said as he lazily threw invisible bits up and down in his lion paw. Raze looked at him and put on his serious face “Your going to hand over those bits!” he exclaimed to the Draconoquis. 'We'll see about that!' Discord said as he flew off into the air. “Come back here!” Raze yelled as his aura burst outward and he took off, taking pieces of earth with him in the process. Meanwhile, back at the school, in the middle of art class. A surge of energy had 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 are we doing again?” Ken questioned. ~In the Air above Ponyville~ “I need those bits!” Raze yelled as he went after Discord whom was laughing annoyingly at the moment. Raze flew at Discord, but the Draconequus dodged him and flew away from the not-a-hero-in-this-world. Raze turned to the direction Discord had went and began speeding directly towards it without looking where he was going. In an instant he collided with a Pegasus whom was pushed out of the air as one of it's wings had hit Raze's side. Raze looked down in panic and said “I've got you!” He then charged downwards, forgetting Discord completely as he went to catch the Pegasus. He then took it towards the ground and laid it on the ground. Raze examined it and found it was indeed a mare. He was promptly smacked as well by a hoof “Don't touch me!” She said angrily as she picked herself up off the ground. Perhaps he should have held her at a different position. “Sorry....” He said as she looked at him with a glare. “You should be! You were the one who knocked me out of the air... Wait, are you that human everyone's been talking about?” She questioned at him. 'Human? Is she talking about Ken and Kira?' He shook his head in response. “I didn't mean to crash into you, it's my fault, I apologize, I wasn't looking where I was going.” “Well, you did save me, I'll excuse you for now.” *Growl* Raze grabbed his stomach in slight pain, he was starving! “If your hungry there's Sugarcube Corner over there.” She said to him, pointing toward the mentioned place that he already knew of. “Well, um, I kinda don't have any money.” He said dumbly. “I'll pay for you, because nopony should be that hungry. But only this once, besides I don't know if your related to the other humans or not, so consider this a gift for them to you.” Raze thought to himself 'Well, I guess it's fine, I should thank the twins for their reputation otherwise I'll have to starve for the day.' He shivered a bit at starving. “Well? You coming or not?” She asked him. “Sure, I could go with you!” He replied eagerly. She began to walk towards the place before turning around and saying “By the way, I'm Blossomforth!” “I'm Raze!” He said, following her. “Nice to meet you, but I'm telling you I won't pay for any big meals.” she exclaimed to him. “Whatever you say, I'm just happy to eat something!” Raze said as he fell in step beside her. As they walked in a sinister shadow watched them and it began to snicker with delight as it followed them inside. ~Inside Sugar cube Corner~ Raze and Blossomforth sat at a booth as resident baker, Pinkie Pie brought them 4 muffins. She looked at Raze and gasped “Hi, Pinkie Pie from the other world told me to tell you that she wishes you would come home! She has a surprise for you!” Pinkie said as Raze's eye twitched. “Well tell her there's been some difficulties and that I'm not going back for a while. Okay?” he asked her to which she nodded and then left them with a smile. Blossomforth looked confused “What was that about?” she asked Raze. “You wouldn't understand.” Raze said as he dove into the muffins. “Hey don't eat all of them! I got two also you know!” Blossomforth said as she claimed the other two muffins. Blossomforth took several bites of her muffin and then set it down “So, what are Humans like?” she asked him. Raze was about to say he was a saiyan, but stopped. Why did the two twins be called humans when they dislike them? And when Lyra knows their Saiyans? Well, half saiyan anyway. Raze sighed and then began his best knowledge of the human race, combined with a few saiyan details. Ten minutes had passed and while Blossomforth had got caught up in his explanation another mare pony had found her seat right next to her. “That's amazing! You must be really strong and smart!” Blossomforth exclaimed. “I guess I am considered to be strong, though I'm not much of the bragging type.” Raze replied with a grin. The other pony next to her then said “That's cool! Now how about a different discussion? Do you perform well?” “Cloud Kicker?! When did you get here?!” Blossomforth asked in confusion. “Blossom you should know me by now! I always turn up when there's a chance for some fun!” She turned back to Raze “We should bang! I've always liked foreigners, I've seen the human children and always wondered how Humans performed.” She said as she looked at him with half-lidded eyes. Raze was confused “Uh... I need an adult?” Cloud Kicker looked at him with a big smile on her face “I am an adult!” Blossomforth pushed her out of the way “He needs some other adult you nit-wit!” “I'M RESPONSIBLE!” Pinkie exclaimed, randomly appearing from in the kitchen. “And I'm going to leave now” Raze said as he began to walk out the door. “But what about fun time?!” Cloud Kicker yelled as Raze slipped out the door. Cloud Kicker struggled with Blossomforth causing them to be further entangled. She decided this would be the perfect moment to drop a custom-made saying that was passed down for generations “Does this mean we've reached second base?” Blossomforth's ears twitched and she pushed Cloud Kicker away “Why can't you think of something other than m-m-mating?” “Because it's completely natural! And since I can't get the other humans due to laws, I will get Raze to think about it!” She proclaimed to the ponies inside the shop. “You PERVERT!” *SLAP* ~Walking fast through Ponyville~ 'Keep walking, nothing is worth going back!' Raze thought to himself as he continued to walk fast. His fast walking started to garner more attention from the ponies whom all turned and stared with those huge, shape defying eyes. 'Oh Kami, it's like staring into the eyes of death itself! How do those kids even deal with this... oh wait, it's because their kids that they can deal with it! Darn it!' He thought to himself. 'I think you took that rather well!' Discord said as he appeared beside Raze. 'Where the hell were you!' Raze yelled at Discord through his mind. 'I was watching your predicament inside Sugar cube Corner while eating cotton candy, I must say that mare reminded me of a female version of Master Roshi.' Discord said as he remembered the hilarious moment. 'Why couldn't you just give me some bits?' Raze asked the Draconequus. 'Because then I wouldn't have any fun at all! You should know that by now!' Discord said to Raze whom then had an anger vein in his head, but cooled down. 'Well I managed to get at least a snack... Now what?' Raze asked Discord. 'Wanna go back to school?' Discord asked him. 'Isn't it near the end of the school day?' Raze asked the spirit. 'Maybe... But we could pick them up from school!' Discord said excitedly at the thought of doing one last interesting thing for the day. 'Then I suppose I can steal my resolve! One last time... Let's go!' Raze said, making his way toward the school of the little saiyan twins. 'Speaking of them, how am I going to start training them? I don't even know their current training schedule, but I suspect they must use at least weighted clothing. And what am I gonna start with if I decide to let them do gravity training with me?' Discord spoke up 'Oh, you decided to train the munchkins?' He asked. 'Well, Chris said that I should. And why do you call them that? Munchkins.' Raze questioned. 'Because that's what saiyan kids are! You Saiyans eat a lot, especially when your young! Plus, you look so small for quite a long while!' Discord answered. Raze rolled his eyes, yeah he already knew. It was annoying to be small even in his teenage years. But once he grew, he was quite tall. 'By the way, we're here.' Discord said, knocking Raze out of his thoughts. The bell to the school must have recently rang, because foals all over the place were leaving and being picked up from the schoolyard. Raze, and Discord, looked over the school to spot the hybrid twins. Soon enough, they found them sitting on a porch talking to each other, their backpacks lied upon the floor. Raze walked up to them and greeted them with a “Hey!” “Hi Raze!” Kira responded cheerfully, her small saiyan tail already wagging. “Hiya Raze.” Ken said. “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, Raze couldn't help but smile himself for some reason as the twins instantly jumped and went up to Raze joyfully. “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 shouted with glee. “Well...” Author's Note Thanks to Boyzilla, writers block didn't destroy me and he had equal creativity on this chapter! Which, I think worked pretty well considering how this ended up doing great! Now I'm going to try and get the newest chapter of Raze's Journey done! It has back story for Raze and it's a Celestia chapter! Now I like the character of Celestia, but she never get's her own episode which really sucks as it means I don't know her quirks other than she likes to play around and is only serious when she needs to be that way. That doesn't mean I won't have fun with it! Other than all that, I hope every enjoyed this chapter for Journey of Saiyans and I hope to continue writing this for a long while! :D See you all soon!
One Does Not Simply Train At A Higher Gravity~Journey of Saiyans Chapter 6~ “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 an area in his pants where a capsule containing his capsule box was. 'Wow, I'm glad I remembered to bring a Gravity chamber after all.' He mentally thought. Kira's tail wiggled in curiosity at the mention of this... Gravity chamber. “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 as they continued to walk through Ponyville. "What's gravity?" Ken asked. 'Oh crap, how do I explain it...' Raze thought. "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. "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 trailed off in through, they walked towards the door only to see Bon Bon standing on the porch with the key in her hoof. Bon Bon turned around waved at the three Saiyan... Human... you get it, as they walked towards her. The twins ran forward and gave her a hug. Raze however, decided to stand at a comfortable distance. “You picked up the twins today Raze?” Bon Bon asked him to which he nodded. “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. “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. At least the twins thought so. The spirit of chaos, Discord, flew next to Raze saying... 'Well, let's see your 'brilliant' training methods at work! I just can't wait to see you fail!' Discord thought tauntingly to Raze. 'Alright, I'll show you!' Raze thought back to Discord, determined to prove himself a sensei to the two twins. “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. “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 sensei, ecstatic to learn about new techniques and a chance to train with someone new. When Raze opened the door, he bumped into Derpy whom had saddlebags tied around her. “Hey Derpy!” He said in minor surprise. “Hey Raze!” She looked around to see the twins behind Raze and said “Hey Ken and Kira!” “Hi Derpy!” The twins both said together as walked right next to Raze outside. “What are you three up to?” Derpy curiously asked. Ken, being Ken, spoke up first “Me and sis are going to train with Raze!” Kira cheerfully added “Yeah!” the little hybrid's tail wagged 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 a capsule, he pressed it and with some smoke a colored box appeared labeled G-SET 6770-90. Our Saiyan hero rummaged through the case for the correct capsule. 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 and watched as Raze finally pulled out the Capsule he needed. The capsule was a gray colored one with G-6787 written on the side. “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 a batch for tomorrow's school, okay?” “Kay!” The two twins replied. “Ah, here we go!” Raze clicked the top of the capsule 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, he looked toward the two munchkins- 'Wait, did I just call them munchkins?' 'Ha, it's getting to you isn't it!' Discord took this time to comment. 'I blame you for this.' The saiyan thoughtfully 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 an 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. Raze followed them inside and looked around a bit “I think the light switch is right around- Ah-hah! Here it is.” Raze then flipped the switch and the lights cut on. The room was large and the tiles were light purple. In the middle of the room was a machine that connected to the floor and the top of the building. “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. “That is the gravity control mechanism-” Raze noticed the blank stares of the twins at the word of mechanism. “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, just so we know how much gravity you can train at in the beginning.” Raze said, he made his way to the center console. “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 had no understanding of, and possibly never will if they stick to pony education. A few minutes passed by while Ken and Kira had began to play a game of ole' Rock Paper Scissors. Ken kept losing to Kira for some reason, and they had already reached the tenth round. “Best 11 out of... Uh... 13!” Ken exclaimed. Kira smiled, her tail wiggling mischievously “Okay!” “I'm done setting it up!” Raze said to the two twin hybrids. They both forgot about their game immediately at those words. They gathered themselves up and stood before Raze whom had his index finger on a single button. “Both of you should stretch beforehand, okay?” Raze asked them as they both nodded. Ken stretched his arms out and then began to stretch his legs. He then cracked his knuckles and then put his body level to the floor and did some quick push-ups. 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. 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. Raze smiled down at them 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. Raze then pressed the button on the console once. The twins demeanor changed a little bit “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. “No, as in multiplication.” Ken and Kira tilted their heads in confusion. “Uh... it's advanced math.” Raze tried to explain, “Oh okay!” Ken said. “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. Raze nodded at them and then pressed the button three more times. 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. “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. Raze looked at them and watched them struggle to move, it reminded it of himself when he first began to do gravity training. Now for the catch, he will see if they can handle the gravity while attacking himself. “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, using the same words he had heard from before. 'Hey Raze, give them some sort of reward, they are kids after all! Like, promise them to go to the park or something!' Discord suggested. “If you manage to hit me in the face, we'll all go to the Park on Friday.” Raze finished, he moved to different side of the room away from the control panel. Raze then stood there, in his martial arts stance, waiting for them to make their move. “Just one attack? Alrighty!” Ken exclaimed. The little saiyan hybrid powered up, the child yelled out “Kaio-ken Times 2!” as a fiery red aura burst to life, causing the child's muscles to tense and buff. Ken charged at Raze with fist ready, through still slow from the gravity, the technique allowed him to bypass most of the weight. Raze saw Ken's fists and dodged around each one. 'Left, Right, Left, Left, Right, and a kick!' Raze thought, dodging all of Ken's punches, he used a small bit of ki to knock the hybrid child back. “Wha!” Ken gasped out as the Ki reinforced air hit him and knocked him toward the tile flooring. Raze looked in Ken's direction and at this moment, he noticed that Kira had disappeared. The full-blooded saiyan looked around before sensing a familiar energy... 'She's right behind me!' he felt the air off her fist nearly hit the back of his head only for Raze to disappear. “Aww! You used afterimage! No fair!” Kira exclaimed, she then attempted to whip around and attack him further, 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. Ken went by his sister's side, and in only a brief moment of a glance to each other, they raised their fist in the tradition power up, a fiery red aura powered up from Ken while Kira's aura remained in a white hue. “Let's do this nii-san!” Kira exclaimed. 'Now the real show begins.' Discord said as he ate on his cotton candy. 'Wha-' Raze was stopped from asking as both the twins advanced on him quickly. Their fists blazed as Raze blocked them. In perfect coordination with the each others twin, Raze found himself more on the defensive then he predicted he would be in. 'Wow their getting the hang of this gravity rather quickly!' The saiyan thought. Ken and Kira were both fighting 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 managed 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 sparred with each other and had worked together many times, thus making it easy for them to follow in each others attacks. 'They're tenacious, they're perfect coordination is giving me a slight challenge, but with their inexperience, lack of a proper physical teacher, and the heavy gravity, they are just throwing wild attacks, they won't get any advantage here.' Raze thought to himself as he continued to block the ferocious onslaught. Just as suddenly as they had attacked, the onslaught stopped as the twins backed off away from Raze. The two saiyan human hybrids didn't seem to speak a single word, yet... They looked to be planning something. 'They stopped? Wonder what they're planning...' Raze thought to himself as Discord chuckled. 'Wouldn't you like to know Raze?' Discord asked him sarcastically. 'Yes, yes I would.' Raze thought to Discord. 'That would be cheating also.' Discord said yet again. 'Fine, I don't need your help!' Raze thought back as he looked back at where the twins were. They looked back at Raze with a determined fire in their eyes. 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 'So they're trying at the same time from different sides.' Raze thought. Raze moved out, he ran off and then turned around to find the twins had disappeared 'Where did they go?!' He felt around for their Ki 'There!' The two twins were found on the ceiling running at him. Raze blasted more Ki reinforced air at them and they dodged it and flew down at him. The heavy gravity made them come down at him a lot faster than normal as at this moment Raze figured they had used it to their advantage. 'They got used to this gravity too fast!' Raze made a move to go back, but found himself hitting a wall 'Oh-no!' he thought as he turned back around to meet two fists of the twins to the face. Raze hit the wall, thankfully it was reinforced with Katchin, and 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. 'They sure did get you good!' Discord said as he laughed at Raze. 'Shut-up and eat your cotton candy!' Raze said as he tried to ignore the taunting laughs of the spirit of disharmony. “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 the door opened from an outside force. “I just got back from the studio and I-aah!” Lyra's words turned into a yell as gravity pressed her down into the floor. “Mommy!” yelled the twins as they went over to her. Raze walked over to the main console and turned off the gravity. Raze walked over to the twins and knelt down next to Lyra. “You alright?” He asked her. “What was that?!” She yelled at Raze. Raze fell backwards and put his hands over his ears 'Ow... What is with all this yelling?' He thought to himself. “Oops, I didn't mean to yell, but what was that?” She asked Raze as his hearing returned. “That was gravity that pulled you down and the floor caught you!” Raze said all to honestly. Lyra gave him a confusing look “So, is it some sort of saiyan technology?” She asked him. “Umm... No, it's human technology.” Raze said. Lyra 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 as she walked away with the twins following her at the mention of food. Raze was left with Discord floating beside him 'She's got a fire in her eye!' Discord thought to Raze. 'You sound scared Discord.' Raze thought back to Discord. 'No master of Chaos can be scared by a pony!' Discord exclaimed back to Raze. 'One does not simply say they cannot be scared by a pony' Raze thought back to Discord. 'That's a cheap reference and you know it Raze!' Discord huffed out as he crossed his arms and turned away. 'Totally worth it!' Raze said as he walked up to the TARDIS. Raze faced the door and then it opened on it's own. The Doctor walked straight into Raze. Raze hadn't moved an inch, but the Doctor had been unprepared and was knocked back onto his haunches “Raze you've got to watch where you stand! You're like a statue!” the Doctor exclaimed as he pushed himself back up. “I was coming to get you and Derpy because dinner is almost done.” Raze said as Derpy's head popped out from behind the Doctor. “I only just got back fifteen minutes ago and dinners nearly done? Lyra must be a good cook!” Derpy exclaimed as she walked out and made her way towards the house. “See all of you inside!” Derpy exclaimed as a door opened and then shut behind her leaving Raze and the Doctor alone. Raze was curious about the progress of the TARDIS and so he asked “How's the TARDIS coming along?” “It's coming along great! She'll be up and running in no time and by that I mean a lot of time!” The Doctor exclaimed as he began to walk off towards the backdoor of the house “You should enjoy yourself! Who knows what will happen tomorrow!” the Doctor said in delight as he opened the door and shut it behind him. Discord smile and thought 'He seems quite happy with himself, I wonder what he does for a living....' 'He hasn't even told me yet, but one day he will! I hope....' Raze thought as he walked up and did the same thing as the Doctor and disappeared into the house with Discord following him. ~After Dinner~ “I didn't think they had fish here!” Raze exclaimed as he pat his stomach while sitting on the couch. “Yeah, most ponies don't eat fish. But well, Ken and Kira require it for nutrients.” Lyra said. “Oh yeah.....” Raze sweat dropped, guess eating apples all the time can get you sick. But they were so good! “You're a really good cook Lyra!” Derpy exclaimed as she flapped her wings. “Thanks, I've practiced a lot.” Lyra replied happily. “Where's Ken and Kira at?” Raze asked Lyra. “I've sent them to bed, they looked awfully tired and exhausted.” Lyra said as she put her hoof on her chin “Speaking of that, isn't that chamber thing dangerous for them?” “They're tough little half Saiyans! I'm sure they'll be able to take it!” Raze said confidently. Lyra got up and walked over to Raze and looked him in the eye “Well, if they are hurt while you are supposed to be watching them... I'll make sure you end up worse than Ken or Kira! Got it?” she said as she glared at him. Raze scratched the back of his head and said “I got it!” 'Best not incur the wrath of a mother.' “Good, now I think you should be off to bed.” Lyra said as she made her way up the stairs. Raze looked at the couch and realized something. He turned to Derpy and asked “Where's the Doctor?” “Oh, he went back to the TARDIS right after eating” Derpy said as she reclined on the chair she was about to sleep on. “I guess that makes sense... Well, good night Derpy” Raze said as he found himself under a blanket and on the couch. “Night Raze” Derpy said as she cut off the lamp. ~Dream World~ “OH BOY! We're going to Ken's mind-scape tonight!” Discord exclaimed as soon as he had found Raze whom was driving a Ferrari with a nice pair of shades at the time. At the instance of Discord appearing inside the car, Raze ended up turning off the side of a cliff and ripping his door out and then flying into the air whilst the car exploded on the ground. “Aw man... That car was a classic of the ages.....” Raze said as he bemoaned the fate of the once beautiful hover car. “I didn't think you cared about cars Raze.” Discord said while floating beside Raze. “That's because you never asked.” Raze said with a blank look on his face. “I don't really like cars Raze, but motorcycles on the other hand fascinate me!” Discord said as he began to eat some cotton candy. “Well, okay then.... What were you saying before I crashed?” Raze asked him as Discord smiled. “I want to try to go to the mind-scape of Ken, I think I got the spell right.” Discord said to Raze. “Alright! Let's go!” Raze said as Discord snapped his fingers. ~Seal-scape~ Discord and Raze popped into existence in front of Goku's house and saw Chris splitting wood. “I think you got the spell wrong Discord.” Raze said as Chris turned to see them. “I think you're absolutely right Raze...” Discord mumbled. Chris put down the axe, turned around, and walked over to them. “So, what are you two doing here again?” Chris asked them as they hesitated. “Uh... Visiting! Right Raze?” Discord said as he gave him a glare that said 'play along!'. “Well, yeah! That's what we were doing, how are you?” Raze asked as he smiled big. Chris smiled “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. “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 trying to change the subject, however the look on Chris's face told him that he failed, it was hard to trick a smart person with such apparent lies. “You're just trying to change the subject. You were trying to get into Ken's mind!” Chris accused Raze. “Maybe! But that is just fine because it didn't work!” Raze exclaimed back as Chris cracked his knuckles. “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. “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. “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 a stance that Raze was unfamiliar with. “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. “I'm going to love this!” Discord exclaimed in excitement. ~Abrupt Ending!~ Author's Note This was fun to write and even funner to have edited several times! I hope everypony enjoyed this chapter! Roarin Out!
A Sick Saiyan and Chicken Noodle Soup for the Soul~Journey of Saiyans Chapter 7~ ~Seal-scape~ 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. Raze made two spirit balls and threw them into the smoke. Suddenly he sensed Chris's energy appear right behind him, he instinctively turned around and caught Chris's leg. “What!?” Chris yelled in surprise as Raze began to spin in a circle while holding onto the Z-fighter, soon he then threw Chris toward the ground. But Chris caught himself easily and did some back flips before stopping, standing up in his previous stance. “I'm pretty good and you better watch out!” Raze exclaimed proudly as he brought a Spirit Ball down and sent it after Chris. Chris stood his ground and then right before the Spirit Ball could hit, he jumped into the air only to be followed by the attacks once more, he saw Raze moving his fingers about. “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. Raze charged into the smoke and appeared before Chris. He heard Chris say “Your fast I give you that!” But suddenly Chris appeared before him, “But your not the only one.” Raze quickly began on the offensive this time with well timed hits that were still blocked by Chris each time. Raze then pulled his fist back making Chris think he was about to deliver a heavy blow when instead Raze smirked “Gotcha!” Chris seemed to notice this and pushed his hands out, and let out a small yell that pushed Raze back with an extreme force of Ki Energy, causing Raze to fall down a few meters before he caught himself. But Raze continued to smirk as he knew his attack was coming. Suddenly, Chris was hit with the second Spirit Ball creating a massive explosion, Raze left the air and touched down on the rocky plateau. Raze looked up while thinking 'There's no way for him to have escaped that!' The smoke began to clear and Raze's face changed from a cool confidence to one of shock. Surrounding Chris was a technique that requires a lot of advanced Ki control, Chris had made an Energy Barrier at the moment of impact and he was completely unharmed the red barrier circled around the saiyan before dissipating into thin air. 'He knows how to make a barrier? This will make the match far more complicated!' Raze thought to himself as Chris floated down and touched the top of a plateau. Chris began to pat some of the dust off himself, “I must admit, 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 said as he stretched a bit, his neck popping as he moved it side to side. 'I should have known this wouldn't have been that easy, but this fight is really exciting!' Raze thought to himself as Discord cheered. “Go Chris! Go Chris! What a clever move you made!” Discord exclaimed as Raze glared at him. “Why are you cheering for him?! Aren't I the underdog here?!” Raze yelled at Discord. “Well, Yes. But I can see you fight anytime I want and seeing Chris fight is a once in a lifetime chance!” Discord said to Raze. “Well, that really is bull-” Raze had been about to end with a curse word only to have a knee to the stomach courtesy of Chris. “No cussing! My son may be able to hear you after all!” Chris said as Raze looked up. “That's bullsh-” Raze was about to say before he got an uppercut to the chin which threw him into the air. Chris looked up and put both his hands into the air “Take This!” Chris then fired rapid waves of Ki blasts at Raze. Raze recovered and looked down at the waves of Ki flying at him. Raze put both his hands together and began to charge a heavy amount of energy into them. A red ball of pure energy appeared in each hand and then grew to a bigger size. The air around him seemed to be flowing into the attacks itself. The entire sky glimmered for a second, but as it glimmered Raze could have sworn he saw strange markings all around it, complicated and artistic at the same time. But he choose to ignore it and continue his attack. Chris looked saw the sky momentarily change, his eyes widened in some sort of realization. He looked over to our hero. “Wait! Stop!” Chris pleaded. But Raze couldn't hear him at the height he was at and the sound of the gathering energies. “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 and flew into the sky meeting the massive explosion. Though Raze couldn't see him he heard the battle cry of Chris, suddenly Raze's senses screamed at him, a massive amount of energy greater than his own came from inside the explosion. Raze witnessed as his attacked seemed to glow and shrink, Raze was shocked by this turn of events 'Is he absorbing the attack? But how?!' He thought to himself. When Raze felt this energy, it felt the same as the energy that had appeared in his fight against Ken when he arrived in this dimension. “Whoa! This is the same energy I felt the first time from Ken!” He said to himself as the air seemed to become lighter around him. Chris had absorbed the energy of the attack and his transformation had ended. The landscape changed back to a large forest with Goku's house in the middle of said forest. Chris floated down to the ground and looked over to Raze as he finally touched down. ~End Music~ “Does that mean I win?” Raze asked with a smirk at how he won. But Chris looked at him. Well, more liked glared at him. This confused Raze as his head tilted ever so slightly side ways in testament to his confusion. When Chis continued his stare, then looked up to the sky, then re-continued it, Raze became annoyed by the lack of speech. “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 asked him in a little bit of anger. Raze was a little taken aback with this question. “What do you mean, we were fighting! Why wouldn't I do that?!” He said. “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 continued questioning. Raze got more annoyed with Chris's strange questions. Of course he knew! “It's on Ken of course, so what?” Raze then thought about it for a few seconds and came to his own realization about what Chris was getting at 'Oh....' Chris saw Raze's face change in what he thought was realization and he sighed “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 unknowingly to Raze. “Warm up? That can't be right! Right?” he asked Chris, how could it have all been a warm up?! That was a fight, a sparring match between warriors! Chris had given Raze one of the hardest fights he ever had in only those few minutes! “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?” “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 Tic Tac Toe games. “At least there are some things to ease my boredom, like watching the world through my son's eyes.” Chris finished as Raze realized something more. 'Man, being stuck in a seal must suck.' Raze thought. “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. It was some sort of voice, but he couldn't pick it up... “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?!” Raze questioned as the entire seal-scape disappeared around him. ~Reality~ “Raze, Raze, Raze, Raze, wake up already!” White light shined ahead as Raze fell onto the floor, “AHHHHHHH!” He yelled as he jumped up really fast. Raze looked around and found that Kira was looking at him curiously as her tail wiggled back and forth. “Raze, your awake! And your not sick!” Kira then cheerfully said, embracing him in a childish hug, which only reached to his waist really. Lyra stifled a giggle as well at the dumbfounded Raze whom hadn't said a word beyond a yell. He looked around and noticed that Bon Bon was also staring at him. 'Damn those big eyes!' Raze thought to himself, he looked down to see Kira hugging him, so he gently pushed her off. Discord chuckled at the scene 'You really should try keeping your balance!' Raze glared at the air space of Discord 'You had to end the dream abruptly!' He thought back to Discord. Kira noticed him glaring at the wall, for no reason, and looked in that direction. Her head tilted in confusion as she tried to figure out what Raze was looking at. “What are you looking at Sensei?” The little hybrid girl questioned the older saiyan. Raze had heard and shook his head briefly “Nothing! Uh... Just regaining my balance!” Raze said quickly to Kira, who believed him instantly, ah the naivety of the innocent. “Okay then!” Kira cutely said, her tail wagging side to side. Lyra looked at Kira and said “Go check up on your brother real quick, please?” She asked. “Okay Mom!” Kira replied as she quickly ran up the stairs. With her gone, Lyra took on a serious face that frankly just made Raze sweat with slight fear. She stared at Raze, who was still standing next to the couch he was sleeping upon. Lyra made her way over to the couch, still staring... Glaring, at Raze seriously. She patted a hoof on the couch as she sat on it herself. “Would you sit down for a second?” She demanded of him. Raze nodded sheepishly, and took a spot on the couch across from Lyra's position. “Alright! The reason why you were woken up sooner than usual is because Ken has come down with a fever.” she paused for a second to let that sink in, then continued. “Since you're here all day and haven't got much of anything to do, I was hoping you could stay here and watch out for Ken! Can you help us out?” Lyra asked him. Raze nodded, glad she just wasn't angry. “I can definitely do that! Training will make him feel better!” Raze exclaimed, he immediately proceeded towards the stairs to go fetch the ill-ed child. But before our hero could make it to the first step of the staircase, he was suddenly pulled back by a somewhat formidable magical force. He sensed the energy that had hold of him coming from the unicorn Lyra, of all places. “He can't train! It'll only worsen his condition! Ken can't even go to school right now because he'll probably be bed-ridden all day!” Some other emotion seemed to come from Lyra's tone besides slight anger at Raze. It sounded like worry? Raze couldn't tell just yet. “I was made to train every time I got sick, I felt awful at first, but eventually I sweat it out.” Raze said as he tried to start walking back towards the stairs. This time Lyra stood in front of him “No! None of that! Shame on you!” “I don't understa-” Raze was interrupted by Lyra. “He may be saiyan Raze, but he is still Human! Do you know anything about humans! How are you sure he'll recover from illness like a saiyan? Are you absolutely sure?” She questioned him in a serious manner. Raze paused at Lyra's words, memory of one of his team mates appeared in his head. He looked away from Lyra, ashamed on how little he knew of both his comrade's and the two twin's race of humanity. Lyra was right, he wouldn't know if either Ken's human or saiyan side was in charge of the child's body in illness recovery. For all he knew, training the fever off could likely cause Ken extreme illness and possibly... Kill him. Raze didn't want the guilt of a child's death, especially Ken's, on his conscious. Lyra noticed Raze's lack of response, and the sense of loss looming around him. “Raze? You alright?” She asked concernedly. This caused the saiyan to snap out of his trance. He smiled at the cyan unicorn and replied. “Yeah, I'm fine. I'll take of Ken for you!” He pronounced. Lyra nodded, not pushing the previous subject further. “Alright, I'll bring Kira to school now.” She made her way to the entrance of the stairway and called up. “Kira! Sweetie it's time for school!” Kira's head appeared from the upstairs hallway, looking down onto Lyra. “But mommy, nii-san is sick! I gotta take care of him!” Kira said. “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. With Lyra, Bon-Bon, and the little girl Kira gone. Raze sat next to the lower half of the twin bunker, where a pale sleeping Ken lied upon. He looked at the child's sleeping form, rattling his brain for how to really deal with this. “Ugh, I don't know anything about taking care of sick kids!” Raze said in frustration. He looked over to the invisible form of Discord. “Do you know anything about dealing with this?” Raze said as he pointed toward Ken, still sound asleep on the bed. 'Don't look at me! I don't know anything about human sickness!' The spirit of chaos said. “Can't you do some sort of fancy healing magic!?” Raze asked the spirit. Discord shook his head. 'Nope! Healing magic cures injuries not illness, and besides I don't know how to heal well! I'm a spirit of chaos, not a spirit of miraculous healing!' “Then you're useless to me!” Raze deadpanned. 'I wouldn't say useless, why not go ask somebody for help? Like Derpy or The Doctor.' Discord said. Something stirred, and Ken opened his eyes. He sat up, the bed sheets still covering him as he rubbed his eyes. He looked worse for wear, still sick with his energy sapped. Raze could tell because Ken's Ki was lower then normal. Two childish eyes looked up to Raze, who was now standing. “Raze... I'm hungry...” Ken said in a low and tired tone. 'Crap, I don't know the first thing about cooking.' thought the full-blooded saiyan. He looked down at Ken and replied. “Um, I'll go get you something I guess.” Before he could turn toward the door, Ken grabbed his pants with his hand. “Sensei, I want my dragon.” Ken said, pointing toward a large stuff animal that looked like an orange western dragon. “Yeah, okay.” Raze said, not questioning why a saiyan would want such a toy, he guessed it was Ken's human side or something. He grabbed the stuffed animal and gave it to Ken, who grasped it with both of his arms and laid back down, snuggling it as he rested. 'Well ain't that a cute sight, you're such a good father! Ya sure you don't have plans to have kids?' Discord said. 'Shove it, let's just go get Derpy.' Raze replied. Raze headed downstairs and just at the right moment, he saw Derpy enter the house. Smiling, Raze went over to Derpy. “Derpy! I need your help!” Raze said. “What would you need help with Raze?” she asked him. “I can cook for an adult, but I'm not sure what Ken would want to eat and that's why I need your help Derpy!” Raze said as Derpy's eyes did their usual one side up and the other side down thing. “Well, okay then!” Derpy had no idea what a Saiyan would normally eat, but she didn't want to disappoint Raze “I've got some muffin mix! Be back in a minute!” Derpy said as she galloped out the back door. 'I wonder if muffins help sickness at all....' Raze thought to himself as another voice answered his thoughts. 'What about chicken noodle soup?' Discord asked Raze. “Yeah! I'll get some chicken and.... I don't think I have any kind of noodles...” Raze finished as he face palmed. Raze immediately pulled out his capsule case and opened it 'Yeah! The emergency fridge!' he clicked the button and set it on the floor. A boom sound was heard and then a white fridge appeared. Raze opened it and looked inside. 'Nope, not this.... ' he thought to himself as he dug through an amazing amount of food. Raze continued to move stuff around in his fridge as Derpy reentered the home. “I got the mix!” she exclaimed as she went into the kitchen and immediately started a search through the cabinets of the kitchen for a bowl to put it in. Raze pulled out a pack of boneless chicken breast and said “This should be just fine, now I need a bowl of hot water to let it thaw.” and with that, Raze had gotten down a bowl and done just that. Raze then went upstairs to see if Ken needed anything in the meantime “Hey? Ken? You awake?” Raze asked as he walked into Ken and Kira's room. He heard a low “Yes” answer him and then Ken turned over so Raze could see him. “Are you doing alright?” Raze asked him to which Ken nodded. Raze smiled and said “That's great! I came up here to tell you that Derpy will be here in case you need anything and I'm going to find noodles!” Raze finished as Ken looked confused. “Why do you have to get... Noodles?” Ken asked curiously. “Chicken noodles soup! I got chicken, but no noodles... Oh! I also have to get some bits....” Raze trailed off... Ken stared a bit from his bed, before nodding. “Okay, Sensei” Ken said as he rolled back over with his stuff dragon and tried to go back to sleep. Raze closed the door and then went back downstairs. He entered the kitchen and saw Derpy putting Muffin batter into a pan “Hey Derpy?! Can I borrow some bits?” He asked her as she turned around and nodded by giving him a small bag out of nowhere in particular. “There should be about fifty bits in there, please try to not spend them all.” Derpy said to him as he thanked her and then went out of the kitchen. Raze then stopped himself and he turned around to poke his head back into the kitchen “Derpy, Ken knows that you're in charge until I get back!” Derpy turned back to Raze and said “Okay! I'll watch the little muffin!” As she set the timer on the oven and put the glorious magnificent muffins inside. “Alright, Thank you!” Raze said, going out the front door. ~The Dirt Road before the Market~ 'They continue to follow me...' Raze felt ponies stare at him as he went down the road 'I hate this so much....' Our hero thought. Still he continued down the path despite their stares, and looks of awe that faced his way. Discord, the spirit of chaos still hidden from view, then flew around and lazily floated down the path in front of Raze as he walked. 'Raze, you know what? Have you looked at the Canterlot Castle skyline yet? There are some mountains missing!' Discord pointed out to Raze whom looked in the direction and saw it himself. Indeed some mountains were missing, and some had signs of explosions, even some others had their tops blasted off. 'Well, now that you've mentioned it, that is a little weird! Wonder if had anything to do with you?' Raze asked Discord whom snorted. 'Really Raze? You think I would destroy mountains for no reason?' The spirit said with false hurt as he floated alongside the saiyan warrior. 'No, I mean the version of Discord in this world!' Raze said quickly as Discord scratched his chin. 'Actually that sounds plausible, Chris did say I had gotten out of my stone prison here and attacked the little munchkins... I'll be back in a second Raze!' With that Discord snapped his talons and disappeared instantly. “Great! Now I'm alone on this trip!” Raze then noticed how he was getting even weirder stares due to his talking with Discord. The saiyan began speed walking to find the noodles he needed faster. ~Entrance to the Main Market~ Our saiyan hero entered the main marketplace. Ponies went about left and right in a hurry to get the best deals and last pieces of products. Raze glanced throughout the area, looking for his specific product target. 'Noodles... Noodles... Noodles...' Raze repeated in thought. Raze looked all around and saw nothing that suggested that noodles even existed in the market. 'I must ask someone! Err... Somepony.... Wait, do noodles even exist in this Equestria!? Celestia I hope so!' He thought going toward the closest stand which just so happens to be Applejack's Apples. “Hey Applejack, do you know where noodles might be?” Raze said upfront to the orange pony, who looked up at our hero with wide eyes, before calming down and replying. “Now, Ah don't mean to be rude, but are ya related to those twin humans by any chance? Are ya an uncle or godfather?” Applejack said to the 'human' in front of her. “Um, yeah... I'm their godfather.” Raze said hesitantly. “Well, nice to meet ya partner! Your godchildren are best friends with my lil sis Applebloom. Though tell them not to try to punch any more of my apple trees again.” Applejack said as she shivered in remembrance of her once proud apple tree. “Yeah, I'll be sure to tell them.” Raze said with a grin. Suddenly Raze's stomach growled and he realized with a jolt 'I haven't eaten all morning!' Applejack heard that and said “I'll be, with that stomach you could out eat a Manticore on it's morning run!” She picked up an apple. “Want some?” “Well, yeah!” He threw five bits on the table “How about some apples for the road please?” Raze asked her as she swiped the bits and passed him a bag of twelve apples. “Can I ask you a question?” Raze asked. “Sure, what is it?” Applejack said. “Do you know where I can find noodles at?” Raze asked her. “Noodles? Um....” Applejack gave it a thought, but then waved her hoof around. “Ah don't know much about where ya could find em, why don't ya ask around some more, somepony's bound to know.” Raze nodded and said “Thanks! I guess....” He turned around and walked off 'Noodles on the brain and nowhere to look....' He looked at the next stand and saw Bon Bon standing inside, pieces of candy laid out in packs as she yelled at passing ponies about candy on sale. “Hey Bon-Bon!” He said, walking over to her. “Hey Raze!” Bon-Bon said as Raze put his hands on the top counter looking at Bon-Bon. “I need to know where to find some noodles! I'm making Chicken Noodle Soup tonight!” Raze said excitedly to the tan yellow pony. “Noodles... I think that stand is all the way over there.” Bon-Bon said as she pointed to a darker part of the market area “Yep, that's all I can tell you.” She finished as pulled out a rag and wiped her counter. “Thanks Bon Bon!” And with that Raze left to the dark side of the forc- I mean market place. “Wait, chicken?” Bon-Bon questioned. ~At the Heartstrings Residence~ “Ken! I made some muffins! Wanna try some? They're good for the soul!” Derpy said as she opened the door to the room he was in. She looked inside and got no response. 'Maybe he's asleep, I'll just leave a few muffins for him' She walked inside and saw the window was open, a light breeze flowed in and the curtains arched inwards. Derpy looked at Ken's bed and saw a big lump in the middle. She smiled and went over thinking 'He must have gotten cold and curled up under the covers. I'll just take a small look and...' She had pulled up the covers and found two pillows up under them. Derpy's first reaction was confusion and then a slight bit of worry eased itself inside her head. 'No reason to panic, maybe this is all just my imagination from the muffin smell!' She tapped herself on the shoulder with her hoof and then she realized 'Nope, not my imagination.' “Oh no! Where could he have gone?! I only had to watch him till Raze got back!” She galloped out the door, went downstairs, came bursting through the backdoor, then she then galloped to the TARDIS and burst her way inside that too. The Doctor was listening to the radio, working on bits and pieces of a damaged matrix, when suddenly a wild Derpy appeared, galloping toward him at breakneck speeds. “Doctor! Ken disappeared! I need help to find him!” The Doctor turned off the radio “Derpy, wha-” was all he could get out before Derpy dragged him out of the TARDIS, out the backyard, through the house, going pass the front door, and down the dirt road toward the marketplace. ~Dark Side of the Market~ Raze walked into the shadows towards the only light near the stand. As he got closer the chilling thoughts grew louder or maybe that was the apples he just ate. The thoughts soon began to dissipate as he finally stood in front of the stand. “Is anypony here?” Raze asked before thinking 'There I go again....' Nothing answered Raze until a few seconds later when a pony appeared from underneath the stand “Hello Stranger, what can I get for you?” “I was wondering if you had any noodles?” Raze asked the pony behind the front of the stand. “Actually, we do happen to have noodles. I'll get them for you.” The pony said as he pulled out a bag of egg noodles. “Thanks! How much are they?” Raze asked the pony. “I'll allow you to have them for free because you're one of the weirdest things to walk through here in a while.” the pony said to Raze whom smiled. “Wow, thanks!” Raze said as he picked up the bag of noodles. The pony them coughed a little and said “We also have cookies, if you're interested.” he flashed an almost evil grin at Raze when he finished that extra detail. Raze looked at the plate of cookies and balanced his options 'On one hand, I could have cookies and on the other.... Yep cookies!' Raze reached out and grabbed one and then ate it voraciously “That was great! What's your secret?” “My grandmother's recipe! She truly was an amazing cook!” the pony said as another hand grabbed a cookie, this hand was smaller. “Ken? What are you doing out of bed?!” Raze asked a now sheepish looking child Saiyan. “Grabbing a cookie!” Ken smiled with big puppy dog eyes at Raze, but it didn't- well almost worked. Raze looked down at Ken with a little fire in his eye's “I told Derpy that you would be in bed and now you're not...” “But I'm here! What's wrong with that?” Ken asked as Raze shook his head. Raze walked away with thoughts of semi terror going through his mind 'Derpy is probably worried out of her mind, not mentioning what Lyra... Will... Do...' Raze's thoughts stopped there as he turned around and looked at Ken in panic. “Your Mom is going to murder me! We're going to Bon-Bon right away!” Raze yelled, he grabbed Ken, putting the small hybrid child under his arm and started making his way quickly to the direction of Bon-Bon's stand. “Waiaiaiat! I wanna finish my cookie!” Ken pleaded. ~Jump Cut to Derpy and The Doctor running to the Market~ “Maybe Ken went here!” Derpy yelled as the Doctor followed her. “Let's hope that's the case!” was all the Doctor could say as he was continuously dragged down the dirt road. Derpy galloped into the market dragging a confused Doctor and all the ponies stared at them including herself. The Doctor noticed this and pulled Derpy back “Stop Derpy! There's another you over there! If you talk to her, something bad will happen! It could cause a time paradox!” The Doctor said in a serious voice. Derpy frowned and looked over the Doctor's shoulder “She's literally right behind you and not even ten inches away!” “I heard that.” The other gray Pegasus said as she looked at them from both sides. “Uh... Hi?” Derpy said as she tried to look away while the Doctor jumped away from the other Pegasus. “We we're just going, right Derpy?” The Doctor asked as the other Pegasus looked at him completely. “Why? You two look afraid of me! Is it because of my eyes? And why do you look like me?” The other Pegasus asked them with an angry look. “No Ditzy! We're not afraid of your eyes! And the reason why she looks like you is... a very complicated explanation.” The Doctor said as Ditzy looked at Derpy in a confused way. “We don't have time for this! We need to find Ken, Derpy! Come on!” The Doctor said as he began to drag her away from Ditzy. 'This has been the weirdest day ever.' Ditzy thought to herself as she continued to think about the two weird ponies she had just met. 'I won't chase them down, but I'm going to find out about them sooner than later.' The Doctor looked around and noticed Raze, who was seemingly trying to explain something, and Ken, who was munching on a rather large cookie quite innocently, standing at Bon-Bon's stand. “Derpy! They're right there!” he exclaimed as Derpy turned around with a big smile. “YES, I mean, NO!” Derpy yelled as she galloped over to Raze whilst trampling the Doctor into the ground. ~Raze's Point of View~ “And that's the whole situation Bon-Bon!” Raze said as quickly as he could to the very puzzled pony behind the stand. “That's something Raze, I suppose I'll have to tell Lyra and see what she says about it.” Bon Bon said as she wiped the counter of her stand from the small cookie that Ken joyfully continued to savor. “Ken!” yelled an ecstatic and familiar derped pony. Ken had turned to the noise and found himself being tackled by a big gray Pegasus. “Wha- oof!” Ken muttered as he was gripped by Derpy. The almost fully eaten cookie fell in a puddle. “No, my cookie!” Ken cried out, before he started doing tears. “I want another cookie Raze-sensai! Derpy made me drop my cookie!” Raze looked at them and thought 'Sentimentality... And cookies.' He finished as he turned away from the sulking Ken and relieved Derpy. “Well, this is a happy ending right?” The Doctor asked as he trotted over to Raze. “I don't know... We still gotta tell Lyra about all this, avoid her wrath, and then if he's not in trouble... We'll go to the park once we get Kira...” Raze said as Derpy and Ken finally rejoined the group. “Sensaaai, I want a cookie!” Ken whined. “No cookie! You've disobeyed me!” Raze said, pointing his finger at the human saiyan child. “But... but... You never said not to go outside.” Ken said. “I might not, but... You could have at least told Derpy! You saw how worried she was!” Ken turned toward Derpy, a little shame apparent in his emotion. “I'm sorry Derpy, I don't wanted to make you worry at all, promise!” “It's pronounced, didn't want, and don't worry about it Ken. Just don't try to scare me like that again.” Derpy said with a smile. Ken's face brightened. “I won't!” the hybrid child replied. “Yeah, everypony, I know we're going through all this emotional stuff, and you might wanna get on this right away but... Lyra! 7 o'clock sharp!” Bon-Bon said quickly. “Hide Ken and Raze!” Derpy said, “No, hide Ken and Derpy! She's smaller than Raze!” The Doctor said. Quickly helping Raze push both Ken and Derpy underneath Bon-Bon's booth. “Hey!” “Shh Ken! You don't want mommy to find out your not in bed right?” Raze explained to the eight year old, making Ken shut his mouth and be quiet while he was placed underneath and Raze pulled down the cloth. All three, Bon-Bon, Raze, and The Doctor. Stood idle and acted as if Ken never got out of the house. Lyra approached them with a raised eyebrow in suspicion. “Raze, what are you doing here?” Lyra questioned curiously. “Buying some noodles for the soup I'm making for Ken! Chicken noodle soup, good for illness so I've heard from some... Friends of mine.” Raze said the last part almost whispering. “Chicken noodle soup? As in, having chicken in it?” Lyra said, but no disgust was found in her voice at the hearing of meat. “Yeah? What's the matter?” “I don't think Ken or Kira has ever had something other than fish meat.” A pause... “WHAT!?” Both Raze, and The Doctor yelled. “How can any human live without tasting bacon!?” The Doctor exclaimed. “How can any sane being that can eat meat, live without a variety of meat!?” Raze yelled in shock and terror. “Will you both, SHUT UP!” Lyra roared at the both of them, her eyes giving out the glare, not just any glare, the glare of an angry mother. It was so frightening that both the Saiyan and Time Lord shut up immediately. “Now, I don't mind Raze cooking soup for Ken. I'll bring something for us ponies to the house. Maybe a bit extra considering how much I've known Saiyans to eat.” She said, glancing at Raze as she said the word Saiyan. “Until then, you better get back to the house. I'm not sure if Derpy has her hands full with Ken or not.” Raze nodded. “Yeah, sure.” With that, Lyra left them. Everyone sighed in relief as both Derpy and Ken came forth from under the stall. “We going home?” Ken questioned. “Absolutely.” The Doctor replied. A few hours went by, and something happened. Raze cooked Chicken noodle soup, which both himself and Raze ate and enjoyed, though The Doctor didn't like that fact that he couldn't eat it. Lyra came with food for the ponies of the house which they ate. Then went and picked up the little saiyan girl, Kira from school. Kira arrived at the house instinctively seeking 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. More time passed before night rose and sun fell. Now Raze sat on the couch as he looked at the two twins playing with a set of toys to amuse their human half. Until Kira stood up and said. “Raze, play with us!” Raze ingeniously said. “Huh?” ~End of Chapter~ Author's Note Took a while to get this out, but it was worth it in the end. I hope everyone enjoys it and see ya later.
A Dark Side to Every LightCrossover 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. 'This is the definition of boring... I could be training or meeting people, but I just can't say no to these Twins... What's wrong with me?' Raze thought as he watched them prepare something possibly deadly to his emotions. Kira pouted, and decided to pull out the big guns. Her small saiyan tail began wiggling behind her adorably, and her eyes googled 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. 'I meant to say no! Stop talking mouth!' Raze thought to himself in desperation. But it had already been said, now he would have no choice, but to continue on this mission. He had to play... "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. 'So they want a castle? I'll give them a castle!' Raze thought to himself. Discord floated next to him and was laughing about the whole situation, "Maybe you should play, "Pony Princess" with them while you're at it!" 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. 'That cuteness is really overwhelming... But at least it's over, now I can go to sleep, or train. I should at least put them to bed first.' Raze thought as he began his last job as Lego master. Raze placed them into the twin bunker beds, shut the lights off, and left the room. Raze walked downstairs to find the entire group of ponies conversing while playing a nice game of poker. Derpy was currently all over the place and her moves were unpredictable as a result. Lyra was looking as shifty as ever and she had sweat pouring down her face. The Doctor had the look of cool confidence as he held his cards, while Bon-Bon was of a monotone approach. Raze looked at them all in confusion, “Really?! You have me be dragged up stairs and you’re playing poker?! I’m great at poker, I beat lots of people and by people, I mean aliens!” “Well, somepony had to watch them.” Bon-Bon said. “Besides, we never took you for a poker player, you seem more like one of those excessive body builders.” The Doctor said as took a look around the table. “Are you all in?” The doctor asked the ponies. “I’m not an excessive body builder! I eat muffins... Sometimes! But, apples….” Raze’s thoughts turned toward the red greatness that came from Sweet Apple Acres. ‘Yeah, that’s the stuff…’ He thought to himself. “When he said apples, I thought he was Kira and how she loves frost-tarts,” Bon-Bon said to Lyra, who giggled in agreement. Derpy looked at them all, somehow, “Are we going to throw down or not?! Let’s do it! I’m ready for you all! Give all of your bits to me!” The Doctor frowned, “Sorry, she kinda took to the game a bit more than me.” Discord floated beside Raze, ‘You know, I never thought of it that way. Saiyans are a little obsessive, but I still enjoy the chaos you bring me each day! Never a dull moment!’ ‘I think you need to watch yourself.’ Raze thought at the spirit. ‘What are you going to do about it? Dislike me? That’s hardly intimidating and much less scary. Besides, you can’t touch this! I’m the ghost inside this house!” Discord said to his Saiyan friend. Raze tried to grab the spirit and found his hand went right through the body, ‘Oh well, I should probably just watch the game...’ Bits were thrown on to the center of the table, counting as high as two hundred. The tension was high, each pony expecting to win over the other. The ponies had fires in their eyes and the whole night had finally come down to this last moment. “Alright everypony, lay’em on the table.” Derpy said to the others as she put her cards down. Everypony else followed suit and Lyra seemed to be in a state of shock. The Doctor was looking over at Derpy’s hand. “You only had two pairs, that wouldn’t have done much at all.” The Doctor said to her. “But you have three of a kind!” Derpy pouted at her luck. Bon-Bon shook her head, “I had three of a kind too, so what did Lyra have?” Raze and Discord had leaned into look at the table, “I wanna see!” Raze said with a small amount of excitement. “R-r-r… “ Lyra sputtered. “What, can you speak louder Lyra?” Bon-Bon asked. “R- royal flush! Ha! I win! I won!” Lyra yelled in excitement, jumping from her chair and around the table. “I won! I won! I can’t believe I actually won for the first time ever!” Discord shook his head, ‘I could beat all of you at poker.’ Raze arched an eye, ‘Without cheating?’ Discord nodded, “Maybe… I never said how.” The Doctor smiled, “Nice job there, Lyra! I didn’t expect it!” “I know right!?” Then Lyra’s eyes widened and she brought her hoof to her mouth. “Oops… The twins are asleep, I shouldn’t yell,” she said. Derpy looked around while frowning, “I guess there’s always next time…” The Doctor smiled and nuzzled her, “Don’t be too down about it, I’m sure we’ll be playing sometime soon.” “Okay!” Derpy said to the Doctor as everypony began to get up from the table. “I’ll be going back to work on fixing the TARDIS, it’s 9:45, so I should have a while to work on it. Though I could use some help, if anypony would like to join me.” The Doctor said as Derpy began to smiled before Raze jumped up. “I want to help!” Raze said quickly. The Doctor looked at him weirdly, “Uhhh… You can’t help.” “Why not?!” Raze asked him. “Ummm… It’s special help! You are not apart of the equation on this one.” The Doctor said quickly as Raze frowned. Derpy smiled, “It’s definitely special alright. So special…” Raze was confused even more by that one, “What does that have to do with it?” Lyra jumped into the conversation, “He probably means that you don’t have the… Necessary knowledge to be of help,” she said. Bon-Bon also got in on this one, “Don’t worry Raze, I have something you can help me with.” Bon-Bon’s grin seemed almost malicious. “I need an adult?” Raze said as the Doctor looked at him weirdly for a second time. “You’re an adult.” He finished with a small grin. Derpy then opened her wings and grabbed the Doctor, “And you’re going with me to the TARDIS.” The Doctor had no disagreement with this and they were gone leaving Lyra, Bon-Bon, and Raze alone, but not quite alone as a Spirit of Chaos was still floating invisibly. Discord laughed, “Either he’s going to discover something new, or I’m just chaotic” Raze was looking glum as he cleaned up after the ponies who had played the card game without him. Bon-Bon was at least washing the dishes, but that did little to comfort him. “I thought that I would learn something new, instead I’m cleaning up after a game that I never played… This kind of sucks…” Raze said to the floor as he mopped the floor. Bon-Bon shook her head, “If you’re going to stay here, you’re going to have to pay your rent.” “She’s touchy!” Discord said to Raze who shook his head. Raze nodded in agreement, ‘You’re absolutely right this time, Discord.’ “I’m right?! By the Super Saiyan Gods! I’ll have to celebrate, where is an automated Pinkie Pie when you need one?!” Discord asked while phasing through different walls of the house. Bon-Bon saw Raze slacking off and looking at walls, this slightly miffed her, grabbing the nearest frying pan it soon came crashing down Raze’s skull. *BANG* Raze hit the floor and grabbed his head, the pain sunk into his very mind as he began to roll around, “What did you do that for?! OWWW!” Bon-Bon smiled evilly, “What you talking about Raze? The only thing I saw was a lazy worker.” “You’re lucky that the Twins look up to you, or that worker would be the last thing you saw!” Raze yelled as the pain had begun to subside slightly. Like magic, multiple frying pans seemed to suddenly appear before Raze’s vision. “Is that a threat?” Raze immediately shook his head, “No Ma'am!” Raze quickly jumped up and mopped faster. Bon-Bon smiled, “And when you’re done, be a dear and place those frost-tarts on the counter in a good hiding place.” Raze smiled, “I’ll put them in the TARDIS and they’ll be lost in time! Never to be found again! How’s that?” “That’s fine,” Bon-Bon replied absently. After the exchange, Raze finished mopping the entire floor of the kitchen. He put up the materials used to mop and then grabbed the Frost-Tarts. Raze quickly got outside the house and closed the door. He breathed a sigh of relief, ‘Thank goodness it’s all over...’ Raze turned to the left and a party cannon sent spiritual streamers all over the area. Raze fell over and a spiritual version of Pinkie Pie appeared before him, “HEY! Did we surprise you because you totally look surprised! I don’t even know how I’m here, but it’s gotta be Discord! OH! Raze, everyone is missing you! We’d really like it if you came home! An-” Discord silenced her with an arm, ‘That’s enough of that, you’ve served your purpose, Pinkie.’ Discord snapped his fingers and she disappeared from view, ‘You should have seen the look on your face, Raze! It was hilarious! Now we should probably hide those Frost-Tarts away from the TARDIS.’ “But why? It’s like right there!” Raze said while pointing to the obvious blue box. Discord smiled and snapped his fingers that disappeared and reappeared on Raze’s shoulders, ‘Because they’re using the front room.’ Raze was confused as he was dragged away by floating non attached limbs, “What does that have to do with anything? I know they’re in the front room, that’s where all his gadgets and wires are! They said that’s where they’d be fixing it!” Discord shook his head, ‘They’re fixing it alright.’ Raze had been dragged all the way back to the door and had phased straight through it thanks to Discord, ‘Now figure out a better place!’ Discord disappeared to wherever he disappears to leaving Raze confused and with a box of Frost-Tarts in his hand. Raze looked around, spotting the Gravity Chamber he had placed the day before, “That’ll do I guess.” Raze entered the Gravity Chamber, flicking the light switch on as he stepped onto the tile flooring. Glancing around, Raze spotted the main control system and immediately went for that. ‘This oughta keep her out, I’ll just unscrew one of the panels and put it inside. Of course I’ll keep it away from the more important panels to keep the place from exploding.’ Raze thought to himself as he realized that he had no screwdriver. ‘Huh… Guess that wouldn’t work either… OH! Right, the fridge!’ Raze thought quickly as he pulled his capsule case out. He quickly picked out the right one and clicked it. Raze threw it onto the floor and an instant mini fridge appeared out of a large cloud of smoke. He quickly opened the fridge door and put the frost tart box inside. Raze closed the door and turned it back into it’s capsule form. He then put it all up again and smiled, ‘That’s the end of that… Guess since I’m here, training is on the schedule!’ With that, he began to train for the next hour at three hundred ten times normal gravity while using Kaioken only. Raze stood panting as he tapped the last button that was on the flying droid, “Wow… That was pretty intense, but it’s all over for now…” He went for the console. He tapped the keys on the main keyboard and turned off the gravity simulation. Raze sighed as he untied some of the weights he had strapped to his back. They hit the ground with a loud slam, but the floor remained uncracked. “All right! I’m feeling better already!” Raze said as he jumped around and twisted through the air. Raze landed on his feet and turned toward the door. He quickly went up the stairs and hit the showers. Raze finished the shower in record time and was walking down the stairs within the next minute or so after brushing his teeth. His hair remained unbrushed so he could keep his bed head look. Raze wore a pair of white boxers and white tank together as he found himself inside the living room. He saw a blanket and pillow that appeared to be freshly cleaned with a small note on top of the mini pile. Raze took the note and read it. Thanks for helping clean up after the poker game. I’ve taken the liberty of cleaning your sheets to return the favor. Don’t think that this means you get special favors. Bon Bon ‘That was nice of her!’ Raze thought with a smile as he unfolded the blankets and put the pillow on a nice spot where laying his head felt just right. He proceeded to lay down and stayed awake for the next thirty minutes or so before succumbing to his training tiredness. He snored soon enough. ~Dreamscape~ Raze flew through the air while being followed by several energy attacks. No matter where he went, they continued to follow him with precise movement. He turned quickly, firing ki blasts at the energy attacks which caused them explode harmlessly in midair. Raze looked around for the enemy who had fired them, but found that the land was changing around him already. ‘Here we go again… I swear I didn’t eat anything bad this time!’ Raze thought as the world stopped terraforming. He found himself standing on branches far higher than any normal tree he’d ever seen before, ‘This is different from the chocolate stuff, maybe Discord has a new taste? I’ll have to ask him.” Raze flew off in search of the Draconequus that was likely the one behind all of this terraforming going on his mind. The trees seemed to be changing shape as he flew past them. Once they were full of life, but now, as he went further on, they shifted into gray husk forms of dead trees. ‘This is getting kinda strange, I’ve gotta a bad feeling about this...’ Raze thought . He continued his way, the amount of trees thinning out as he approached an unknown destination. An open area greeted his sight, two black dots over in the distance of his vision. As Raze got closer he recognized Discord and another familiar sight. ‘It can’t be! He’s gone!’ Raze sped up toward the two. Discord was floating with what appeared to be translucent shield surrounding his body while the other stood undefended, but certainly more prepare for a physical altercation. ‘No mistaking it! That’s Fhaze!’ Raze thought while he landed onto the ground. Fhaze turned to him with a smile, or it could have been a sociopathic grin. Raze didn’t know the difference at that exact moment. “Well, look who decided to show up! Guess you’re just going to give me your body rather than have me chase you down. I don’t blame you in the least, but I don’t happen to be interested in you at the moment.” Fhaze said while turning away from Raze. Raze was confused again for the second (or third) time that night, “What?! Then what are you looking for?” Fhaze grinned, “I’m more interested in the little brat you met beforehand. I’ve been watching from the back of your mind and I’ve also felt the energy coming off you when Discord returned you to this body. There’s a power inside him that he can’t even fathom.” Raze tilted his head, “Now that you mention it, there was something strange about that door….” Raze shook his head quickly. “Not that I’m going to let you get anywhere near it!” Raze exclaimed to Fhaze who smirked with indifference. “Who’s to say that you can stop me? After all, Discord hasn’t been sitting in a barrier made by himself.” Fhaze said as Raze’s eyes widened. Fhaze nodded, “This is my energy and I’ve been going through his mental barriers quite easily, soon he’ll teleport me to that tyke’s mind and I can gain his power. Too bad you won’t be able to do anything to stop me, since you’re going to be stuck over here!” Fhaze flew at Raze and his fist connected with Raze’s stomach causing Raze grab his stomach. Then Fhaze kicked Raze in the side of his face causing him to fly a few feet away. Fhaze grinned as he watched his hated enemy stop on the ground, “It feels good to win for once or the second time. No more lucky breaks I suppose.” Fhaze walked back over Discord, “You seem more than ready to listen to my commands, so let’s get on with it. Take me into the brat’s mind, or you will suffer.” Discord began to charge his magic into his hand and just when all seemed to right for this very evil moment in time. Fhaze felt two arms lock him in a full nelson. “What?!” Fhaze yelled as they all three disappeared in a flash. ~Ken’s Mind Before the Door~ A bright flash of magic shined out among the white and black doors as three invaders appeared before it. Raze was still holding Fhaze who had begun to struggle against the lock Raze had on him. “Dammit! Let go of me! You insolent bastard!” Fhaze yelled while continuing his rampant movements. Discord shook his head as he touched the doors, “Hmmmm? What in the world just happened? I feel like I got hit by ten Celestias…” Discord looked around while rubbing his left eye, “Hmmm… Nothing out of the ordinary seems to be happening. We’ve got some sunshine and rainbows, Raze and Fhaze are kicking the tartarus out of each other, and I’m standing next to black and white doors…” Discord played with his moustache, “Something about that doesn’t seem right…” He went over his normalities once again, “OH! It’s the Raze and Fhaze part! I’m getting senile if I think that’s normal!” While Discord contemplated his insane thoughts, Raze was finally kicked off his evil counterpart. Fhaze stood up completely and seemed to have veins coming out of his forehead in rage. “There’ll be a special place for you when you die, Raze!” He yelled, but Raze only smiled. “You’d think so, but I’m not going to let that happen!” Raze said as Fhaze began to calm down a bit. ‘I’d best not let my rage takeover, best to stay calm in this situation.’ Fhaze thought to himself. Raze stood there as Discord joined him to have them stand side by side, “Yeah, we won’t let you take over this munchkin’s mind!” Fhaze smirked, “Discord, you couldn’t even match me before. You got lucky with those clouds, but now we’re somewhere completely different! Out of your element since neither of us controls this battleground!” Raze raised a clenched fist in front of himself, “We’re always going to be strong enough to take you down, I won’t let you harm anyone!” Fhaze stood his ground with confident smirk and then charged at them. Discord and Raze split up as Discord summoned several floating clouds of cement. They all attempted to catch Fhaze who move around them with a lot more precision than he had last time. “Raze, he got better?! How is he dodging my clouds?!” Discord asked Raze who was analyzing Fhaze at the moment. “He appears to be at the same battle strength as me!” Raze said as Fhaze struck Discord down into the ground. The ground broke apart beneath him as Fhaze came in for a landing that would send both of his monstrous boots straight into Discords ribs. Fhaze was stopped when a kamehameha wave intercept him and sent him into the door causing a large explosion to rock the door. Fhaze appeared from the smoke with revenge on his mind. He pulled back his right fist and charged at Raze who also charged while pulling his left fist back. They collided causing a massive shockwave to tear up the ground and throw them both back at high speeds. Raze hit the ground and it crumbled as he slid back. Fhaze hit the door so hard that it broke the seal upon it and it began to open. A dark feeling swept over the three fighters as it spread out from the door’s entrance. Fhaze hit the ground, but got up immediately to see that the door had opened, ‘Perfect! Now to leave these fools behind!’ Fhaze disappeared into the doorway leaving Raze and Discord to their own devices. Discord was the first to get up and immediately went over to Raze, “Come on! You gotta get up! He’s going further inside!” Raze turned over and pushed himself up, “Okay… Got it.” Once they were both up, they charged in to stop the evil fiend. Raze made it to the next door, uh... Gate, to see Fhaze standing directly in front of it. He stopped directly in front of Fhaze who turned to them. “I suppose it wouldn’t have been that easy to be rid of you. Well? Let’s finish this!” Fhaze said as the room became silent. Raze hadn’t even heard Discord as he joined them within the dark confines of the room. The room was silent as they stared each other down when the silence was broken as a person appeared before them all. ”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. Fhaze looked over in surprise at the newcomer, ‘Another one?! His energy never came up! I thought it was the kid’s based on what I felt when Raze had walked out of the TARDIS! Damn, How am I going to handle this one?!’ Raze looked over for a second at Chris before deciding to try and explain everything later. He had to stay focused for right now. Discord however was a bit more worried about the situation now more than he had been before. 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 quickly while not turning his back on the real enemy. Discord noticed that Chris was analyzing Fhaze at the moment and decided that he would also worry about the situation later. Fhaze laughed with arrogance, “Like I give a fuck about a little snot-nosed brat!” Raze gritted his teeth in anger “Ken is a hundred times better than you could ever be!” Fhaze frowned in annoyance, “You should’ve been training, not babysitting a bunch of weakling brats!” Fhaze retorted as Raze clenched both of his fists. ‘Damn! The Twins didn’t do anything to deserve having to deal with this! I’ll have to finish off Fhaze quickly!’ Raze’s foot dug into the ground beneath them. ‘That’s right! Get angry! Lose some control, Raze! While he’s being angered, he’ll attack me and I can knock him out quickly!’ Fhaze thought to himself in victory. Raze heard Chris begin to talk from behind him, ”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.” Fhaze replied with a smirk. “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 pushed them forward to form a technique that seem to draw in the air around it. “Flash Cannon!” Raze yelled 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. Darkness spread into the very souls of the heroic fighters as the gate opened completely. Raze shivered a bit as he felt his mind weigh down under failures that tried to bring themselves to the forefront of his own mind, ‘No! Gotta focus!’ Raze broke out of the spell by powering himself up a little bit. Fhaze looked at the broken gate with a huge grin on his face, ‘Well, that works too!’ “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. ‘I can’t believe… Actually, I can totally believe that he would use me to open this.’ Raze thought as he looked over at Discord who had been sitting there the entire time with stars glowing in his eyes. “That was amazing! So much power! The emotions! If only I had a camera capable of recording this action!” Discord exclaimed as Raze shook his head smacked his forehead. “Can you just focus?! We need to go!” Raze yelled at Discord who nodded his head quickly. “Of course, Raze! Let’s get going!” Discord said while flying off in the right direction for once. Raze and Discord had finally found their ways into the room and stood next to Chris within seconds. They heard loud banging sounds and then saw Fhaze openly bashing the gate repeatedly with his fists. Raze felt the air accelerate in speed as he realized that Chris had left them both. Raze looked at Fhaze only to see Chris appearing beside him and then kicking 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. ‘He seems a bit stronger than Raze which means that I may not have the strength to keep up with him. At least until I reach that power source ahead of me! I’ll knock him out of the way quickly!’ Fhaze thought with a quick nod. 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 finally made his move, 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. ‘Alright! Combo time!’ Raze thought with smile. Raze watched as Chris pulled his fist downward and then smashed it upwards into Fhaze’s jaw. This action caused the villain to be sent flying into the ceiling, which in turn made him crash face first onto the ground once the force that him him upwards had worn off. The ground split open under the force of the now lying body of Fhaze. ‘That should have knocked some sense into him.’ Raze thought while waiting for any movement to be made from below. 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! Dammit! Why do I have to deal with such idiocy?! You’re both getting on my nerves!” Fhaze exclaimed at the two heroes. Raze smirked as he was assured that victory would be his this day, “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. “Damn!” 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.” Raze heard Chris say as Fhaze seemed to stop showing off his angry face. “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. ‘I won’t turn away from this! No matter what power that other Saiyan might have!’ Fhaze smiled insanely as he thought up a devilish idea. 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. Raze watched as he summoned energy into the compact green ball, ‘Damn, we have to stop it!’ “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. Smoke filled the room and obstructed Raze’s vision. He could still sense Chris and Fhaze despite that small annoyance. He also heard a loud screech as he felt the ground shake beneath them all. Raze knew what that sound could entail, but he didn’t want to think it happened. 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,” Raze looked at the open gate and his eyes widened, ‘Damn! He did manage to open it!’ Raze raised an eyebrows after hearing what Chris had said, “Mister Nice Guy? You call kicking him around being nice? I’d hate to see what you do to guests!” Raze didn’t hear a response and instead felt a massive power increase. He turned to Chris and saw that he was the one gathering the strength. ‘Woah! What in the world is that transformation suppose to be?!’ Raze questioned as the energy grew even further. Discord’s eyes twinkled while he threw more popcorn into his gaping maw, ‘This is getting good!’ Chris’ golden aura spiked outward, his muscles buffing and his form growing bigger as Chris’ Ki energy output increased drastically. The Z-fighter raised his head, gritting his teeth as Raze felt Chris’ power increase by another multiple of ten. It appeared Chris had finished when the Z-fighter let loose a breath of air that seemed to calm his muscle tension. ”Ascended form, if your wondering about it, Raze.” Chris explained, before he flew toward where Fhaze had left off too. Raze had nothing to say to that while he stood in one area still being in shock, ‘I- I- I didn’t win that fight at alllllllll…’ Discord was amazed as well if it wasn’t obvious before, “Are you just going to stand there, Raze? Or are you just going to keep gaping in confusion?” Raze punched himself in the forehead and got the old brain juice flowing again, “Thanks, Discord!” He flew off quickly in search of Chris while Discord himself chose to teleport further inside. Raze got inside the room just in time to see Chris hit Fhaze with a highly concentrated ki blast. The attack sent Fhaze flying backward toward Raze. 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 had just watched the whole exchange and if he had a tail, it would be wagging by this point, ‘I really wanna to do this kind of stuff… So amazing!’ Raze felt his saiyan instincts begin to heat up and he prepared to join the battle himself. Raze flew forward only to see Fhaze’s body land before him and make a indent into the floor, ‘Well, maybe I don’t have to go so far...’ 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. Raze looked over to see that Chris was already moving to stop the attacks. 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 it their mark. The explosion rang back towards the fighters and dust spread outward in dark clouds. Chris and Raze looked at the gate at nearly the same moment and promptly breathed sighs of relief. Raze smiled, ‘It didn’t open! Great!’ Raze looked up to see that Chris was already moving in for another attack. 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 continued rolling 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. Fhaze saw this and ran to try and buy himself more time to dodge. “Shit!” 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. ‘This is getting ridiculous! He’s too strong and I’m losing too much strength! Not to menti-’ Fhaze felt another energy near the side of his body. 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. ‘Gotta go fast!’ Raze thought to himself while moving his legs as quick as possible to try and dodge the hits. 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. ‘Ouch! That hurts!’ Raze thought to himself while lying upon the floor. 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 is slightly more weakened now, so I should go ahead and kill him off while I have the chance! But if the other Saiyan steps in, then I’m not sure what to do! Dammit, I was only going to have to deal with Raze! Why can’t this be easier?!’ Fhaze thought angrily to himself while Raze moved himself up. “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. ‘I couldn’t have asked for a better solution to my problems! The other Saiyan just sends their weakest link in like it was the easiest decision in the book! Thank you mysterious other!’ Fhaze thought while continuing his attack. 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. They stood there for a few seconds while Raze felt himself grow weaker, ‘I’m starting to feel a little heavy. Tch… I don’t know if I can keep this up.’ ‘How is he still managing to block me? He should be nearly out of energy by now!’ Fhaze pushed more ki into his leg as he felt Raze’s grip loosen. Discord watched with anticipation as Chris prepared his attack, ‘This speaks True Kamehameha to me in so many ways! Or is it Final Flash?’ 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 heard Chris yell and quickly turned to him, “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 something 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. Chris grinned, and thrusts 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. Discord floated in his chair with a big smile upon his face. ‘Best Dragon Ball Movie ever and it was never made proper, very saddening.’ Discord thought as the urge to clap began to take over his spirit. Discord smiled gleefully, “Well, that was an 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. Black smoke seemed to enshroud the area where Raze was as he started to roll around while clenching his head. ‘You didn’t think it would be over so easily, did you Raze?!’ Fhaze questioned Raze as his began to tighten his hold on the weakened mind of the Saiyan warrior. ‘Y- Y- You’re gone! He defeated you!’ Raze thought as he tried to resist the spirit’s hold on his body. 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. Discord watched as Chris brought his right hand up, a symbol forming in front of it, ‘He’s using a seal? I do remember something about him learning that, but it’s been a while since I last looked at the multiverse...’ 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. Fhaze suddenly felt his power begin to fade fast, ‘What?! What is happening to me?!’ His grip on Raze’s mind was being forced away, ‘No! I won’t give in in! Raze is mine to use as I see fit! ARRRRGGGGHHHH!’ His spiritual form was being taken away as he was sucked inside of a powerful lock. ‘DAMN YO-” He was cut off as black energy followed him inside. Discord watched as 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. Suddenly, 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 Raze is ready to face him.” With a boring explanation out of the way, Discord felt like being his usual chaotic self. 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. Raze felt a large amount of weight hit him all at once and he awoke with a start. The first thing he heard was one thing, “FROST TARTS! WHERE ARE THEY?!” ~End of Chapter~ Author's Note Well, the story is now officially off hiatus. Thank goodness me and Boyzilla managed to pull it together! I hope you all enjoy this chapter!
Tricky Magic and a New Outlook~Journey of Saiyans Chapter 9 (Raze Version)~ Raze felt a large amount of weight hit him all at once and he awoke with a start. The first thing he heard was, “FROST TARTS! WHERE ARE THEY?!” Raze tried to jump as his ears started ringing from the yell being produced from such short distance by one little girl, but he was stuck in two blankets and began to fall towards the side of the couch. Kira and himself fell off the couch and onto the floor in a heap of blankets. Bon-Bon walked up with a small smile on her face, “Yeah Raze, where are those Frost Tarts?” Raze was about to respond after sitting back up when Kira interrupted him, "I can sense the Frost Tarts with you Raze-sensei! You can't hide them from me!" Raze looked at her, "What's with you and Frost Tarts?" He caught Kira’s hand from reaching the capsule case, “Don’t touch that.” “But the Frost Tarts! Sensei! The Frost Tarts!” Kira exclaimed while struggling against Raze’s hold. Raze glared at 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 while continuing to hold off Kira’s reaching arms. Turning back to Kira he said, “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?” Kira paused, “Can nii-san help me?” She asked. 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!” She leaped off of Raze, and promptly shouted, “Ken! Wake up!” Raze looked around, but didn’t see nor hear any other movements, “I guess you’ll have to go and get him.” Kira only grinned, “Give him a minute.” Raze waited and waited until he realized that he was sitting on the floor still, ‘Why am I still on the floor?’ Raze wouldn’t get an answer to that as something seemed to be moving upstairs. The footsteps of someone coming down the staircase was heard, until Raze spotted Kira’s brother, Ken, on the stairs still in his PJs. “Well, he’s definitely not going to fight in that, Lyra would probably attack me with a frying pan if I had Ken mess up the wrong clothes.” Raze said. 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. ‘What… Huh… Kira didn’t even say anything to him! How can he possibly know what we were talking about?’ Raze looked toward Kira to find her pridefully smiling, confident in her and her brother’s ability to beat him. To beat him, claim the Frost Tarts, and a trip to the town. If he doesn’t win then he’ll be stuck with them for the entire day! Again! ‘I’ll see about that!’ Raze thought with determination. Raze got up quickly and heard another knock at the backdoor. Raze went to open said door. It opened to reveal Derpy and the Doctor. They both walked in and Raze shut the door behind him. Derpy smiled at Raze and Kira, “Good Morning!” The Doctor was looking around and sniffing the air, “Is that Hay Bacon Strips that I seem to be smelling?” Lyra walked out of the kitchen with a smile on her face, “Yes, along with roasted carrot and parsnip soup.” “You got anything for the average young strapping saiyan?” Raze asked with a slight hint of sarcasm. “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. “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. “I thought it was because you belong in the kitchen, with your pink apron and your carrots.” Raze said while continuing to turn away from his bold new adversary. The Doctor saw this situation was escalating at a dangerous rate, “Raze, it might be wise to be quiet.” Derpy frowned and nodded in agreement, “You might want to listen to him, Razey.” “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!” “It’s a taste thing, you wouldn’t understand, they’ve got you brainwashed!” Raze said to Kira as he heard something starting to steam from behind him. Raze turned around slowly, “Is there some tea… on?” To Raze, Bon-Bon looked as if she had a fiery Ki aura of destruction and wrath, even if ponies don’t have Ki to begin with, “My cooking of carrots… Brainwashing her?!” “Yeah! Totally! So if you could go and make something that won’t brainwash us, I’d really like that!” Raze said as he was still completely oblivious at the moment despite the glaring warning signs of imminent attack. “Oh, I’ll make something alright.” Bon-Bon said in a surprisingly calm matter, turning around to head back to the kitchen. “Really?! What is it?! Fish, Chicken, or Steak?!” Raze exclaimed while thinking about the possibilities. The Doctor facehoofed, ‘Well, at least he’s signing his will, I’ve got at least 800 years before I have to do that.’ “It’ll be… A unique flavor.” Bon-Bon finished, disappearing into the kitchen with Lyra following suite. Raze couldn’t wait for whatever she was making, ‘It could be anything and anything is better than carrots!’ “Raze-sensei! We’re ready!” Kira said, snapping Raze out of his thoughts as he spotted Ken fully dressed in his training gi standing next to Kira. “Alright! Let’s get to the gravity chamber! Then we can eat and get out to see the town!” Raze said while watching the Twins smile and celebrate thinking they were going to win. ‘They’re celebrating a little much, we haven’t even got to the gravity chamber yet...’ Raze thought as Kira grabbed his hand. “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. She grasped Raze’s hand and pulled him with her toward the backyard door. “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, “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. “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. “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 to the now somewhat scared child. “Die? I don’t wanna die!” Ken exclaimed while waving his arms in alarm. “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. “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 while leaving the Twins to their own devices. ‘This should be a lot better than last time, I finally get to teach someone else the same powers that I know! That alone is pretty awesome!’ Raze thought while pressing in button combinations on the keyboard of the central control panel. Raze clicked one last button and the simulation was primed. He turned back to find the Twins stretching and getting ready. ‘It reminds me of when I was first getting into my first gravity chamber...’ Raze’s memory began to fill in a small thought bubble. He remembered falling consistently everytime he ever tried to step in. He remembered being tossed around by his father like a volleyball. Then another unfortunate memory involved some very high stakes laser tag. Raze’s bubble popped instantly and he frowned, ‘That wasn’t very fun… At least I improved over time!’ “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 the button and immediately the gravity began pulling down their bodies. The Twins were being pressed down a bit more than usual, but maintained their balance despite the change. Raze was already used to the shift and 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.” “No problem, I’ll be running in no time sensei!” Kira said with confidence, she took a step forward, only to crash face first into the ground. Raze frowned, “Uh, you alright?” ‘I know I should help her out, but she needs to be able to push herself, I’ll just have to watch and see if she can manage it.’ Raze thought as he saw Ken try to go help his sister. Raze held his hand up and stopped Ken. He shook his head and Ken stepped back. 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. Raze watched her with the same frown mirrored. Sometimes, words weren’t needed. He could tell she was somewhat angry, but knew it was for the best. “Alright, just keep trying, Kira.” Raze said to her. Kira’s Ki energy signature increased, she was using her own Ki to help her stand up. After a short minute, Kira stood up pridefully once again. She took a step closer, more cautious about her balance as her tail swayed to each side as she began to walk. Raze watched the progress she was making, ‘This might take a while, but she’s getting the hang of it.’ He saw the tail swing around to balance her as she walked, ‘So she’s using her tail? Well, I suppose it can be allowed.’ 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. “You seem to be walking fast, but you need to start running!” Raze turned to Ken next. “You too, let’s see if you can run, Ken!” Raze said to him. “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. His sister watched with a little jealousy as she attempted to try and catch up, filled with motivation in trying to become as strong as Ken. Raze smiled while watching their progress, ‘A little competition between rivals or family can be healthy. She’s going to want to run just like that and then she’ll truly get stronger.’ Raze watched as Ken seemed to get faster and faster, more so then Kira, when suddenly as he glanced toward Kira to see her face overcome with emotion, her Ki spiked to a higher level than normal. Kira’s speed drastically increased, passing by her brother before her energy reverted back down to her ‘normal’ levels. Raze’s eyes widened a bit, ‘She’s got power locked up inside her! It’s almost like Ken’s power! I remember reading about something like this before, human blood and saiyan blood creates a ferocious energy… Guess it wasn’t kidding. How do I get this to workout for the both of them?’ He brainstormed some ideas for a future training session, ‘Yeah, this is going to be a good month!’ “Okay! You can both stop running now, you’re sufficiently warmed up!” Raze said to them both. Ken and Kira stopped just in front of Raze, their faces revealing that they were curious 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. If Raze could remember right, her power level was rising around… Hundred thousand… Two hundred thousand… Ah around three hundred then stopping. 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.” “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 to one hundred… two hundred… three hundred… and hitting it’s mark close to four hundred thousand. Or at least it did, before Ken shouted a technique, “Kaio-ken times two!” With that, Ken’s Ki levels skyrocketed to around four hundred and a half thousand. 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 attacked first, yelling out her battlecry, “Frost Tarts!” Raze sidestepped her and she went right past him before he delivered soft kick to her back causing her to spin frontward straight into the wall, “By the way, nice battlecry.” Ken didn’t charge forward, instead he leaped back shooting a couple Ki blasts as he went. Raze summoned a ki barrier to take the attacks head on. The blasts exploded harmlessly around Raze. “You need to be faster on the uptake, Ken.” Raze said while awaiting their next moves. It took a few seconds before he was attacked from the left side by Kira, her moves were slow compared to his own, as her body seemed to stress itself harder due to the intense gravity. She thrusts her right fist forward, but Raze easily guides it away and gently knees her in the chest. Kira flew back for a second and then the gravity took hold. She hit the ground fast, but managed to catch herself. She slowly pushed her body back up against the gravity holding her down, and tries a different approach of gathering Ki energy. Raze watches her as she attempts to gather energy before his senses pick up another power charging from his side. He turns to meet the incoming attacker, or a Kamehameha wave. Raze smiled and walks away from his current area without even bothering to mess with the oncoming attack, ‘Who would bother standing and waiting for someone to attack just like that? I would never stay in one area like that.’ Turns out, Ken learned something. Ken moved his arms along with the beam within, causing the Kamehameha wave to curve toward Raze’s direction. Raze noticed the energy was still following him and he broke into a run. ‘The bending Kamehameha? I wonder who taught him that.’ Raze continued running until he was stopped by a wall. He glanced from the Kamehameha toward Ken, to see that Kira guarded Ken’s vulnerability as he performed the Bending Kamehameha Wave. ‘Walls can’t stop me!’ Raze thought while activating his ki and using it to walk up onto the roof of the gravity chamber. Ken pulled his arms upward to make the beam follow Raze as he ran on the ceiling, ‘Jeez! Ken has more control over it than I thought! I’m going to have to just counter it after all!’ Raze turned around and caught the attack. He held it and found that he was being pushed by the attack slightly. Raze glanced back at Ken to see he was tired and must be running out of Ki energy. Until his sister lay her hands on him, and Ken’s Ki energy started to increase as her’s fell. The attack itself gained even more steam as it pushed Raze back further, ‘Errrggghhh! I can still take it!’ Raze powered up more and made the attack explode within his hands. Smoke blasted outward from where the attack had combusted. But Raze had already moved from the area. He dropped down onto the floor and ran at the Twins. “Gotcha now!” Raze said to them. As Raze appeared from the smoke and caught site of the Twins, he saw Ken boost his sister up into the air above him. Kira used the intense gravity to her advantage, increasing her speed as she came down onto Raze, using 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, ‘Damn, what a strong kick! Here comes Ken!’ Raze 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!” Raze caught up to him and gently elbowed Ken in the side. Then Raze ran to catch up to the flying Ken. He grabbed his right leg and continued running with Ken now in tow. He headed for Kira, but as he reached her, Ken recovered and blasts Raze with a Ki attack. The attack causes Raze to drop Ken and fly at a wall, ‘That was pretty sneaky.’ Raze caught himself and skidded to the side. ‘Maybe I should get more tactical.’ Raze thought while noticing that Ken had recovered a little too quickly. ‘Just like his cold, gone in a day… Could it be the seal? Chris… Cheating!’ Raze thought as he noticed two energies charging at him. Ken and Kira were charging him already. Raze charged at them as well. Kira seemed a little slower than her brother, and instead of charging next to Ken, she was following behind. Ken on the other hand, seemed confident for some reason. Ken’s own Ki energy was the same… Until another popped up within and fueled his own drastically. Raze noticed a spike in energy from Ken, ‘That can’t be right!’ Raze continued and thrust his left towards Ken. But the little boy Ki energy boost also came with newly discovered speed, he 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 the other energy inside Ken, 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 knew that the gravity was still on, so he decided to try the voice command system, “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 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.” “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 his capsule case, “Then I’ll just go do that, but first…” He trailed off while taking out a capsule. He clicked the top of it and threw causing a mini explosion. A fridge appeared from said smoke. “I got a box of Frost Tarts to give back.” Raze said while opening it and taking out the box. As if she was never exhausted in the first place, Kira jumped up with a burst of energy and appeared in front of Raze. She was eager to receive her prized box of Frost Tarts. Raze handed it to her quickly and shut the fridge door. He clicked another button and the fridge blasted back into a capsule. He picked it up and then took out another capsule that contained his ship. “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. “Nee-chan! Give me one!” Ken whined. Kira grabbed another package and gave it to her twin. Raze trekked over to an empty patch of grass, clicking the capsule’s button that he had on hand. Raze winded up like a baseball pitcher and mockingly threw this one toward the empty patch. A large explosion of pink smoke appeared forth before settling back down revealing the item that was once within. A large ship with the words “Capsule Corp.” had shown itself for all to see. Raze walked over and clicked the button on the side to open the ship up. Steam rose from out of the chamber as an indentation began to make itself clear. It opened further thanks to the hydraulics of the door itself. The door went all the way to the ground and extended till it had a good hold. Raze looked back at the Twins to see what they were doing, turns out they were staring at his ship. Suddenly, all that was left was after images of them as they were now next to the ship touching every surface. “Wow! What’s this thing?” Ken asked as he brought his hands against the ship’s exterior. Kira poked and prodded, her hand getting dangerously near the capsulize switch. Raze notice this and quickly ran over to her, “Stop, Kira!” Kira froze, scared that she was about to do something bad. Raze realized he had scared her, “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!” “Sorry.” Kira stated, removing her hands from the exterior, her brother following suite after hearing Raze’s words. Raze sighed, “You can come see the inside of the ship, but don’t press anything. Besides, I’ve gotta go get another gi anyway.” “Ow… “ Ken said, clutching his head. “You okay Ken?” Kira asked with concern. “Yeah, just a little headache. I’m fine!” Ken replied with a smile. Raze arched an eyebrow at that, ‘No doubt because of Fhaze...’ “You sure you’re alright, Ken?” Raze asked while knowing that he wouldn’t actually be all that fine. “I’m fine sensei! Honest!” Ken said firmly, but his movements seemed to sway just a tiny bit. Raze nodded slowly, “If you’re sure. Well, come on inside and I’ll show you the ship.” Raze walked up the platform and went inside his ship. He turned on the lights really quickly and looked back to see the Twins just standing in one spot. “The ship doesn’t bite, just watch out for the german toilet!” “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 the ladder was, “Ich werde Sie und die Kinder verschlingen ganze!” “Was that the german toilet?” Ken questioned. “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. “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. ‘And not to mention my evil German toilet that doesn’t need to meet them.’ Raze thought to himself with a dark look back at the ladder. “Okay!” The both of them said. “We’ll see you at lunch sensei!” Ken and Kira finished, leaving the Capsule Corp ship. “Whew! Door close!” The door closed and Raze was free to get cleaned up and get a new gi. Thirty minutes would pass as Raze climbed back up his ladder, “I should probably get a new ladder system. Something automated, if I can find a good technician.” Raze talked to himself too often when he was alone. “I wonder if this Ponyville will continue to have better reactions to me… Hmmm… I feel something strange… An energy surge? Why am I talking to myself?” Raze asked the question as he realized that the energy seemed to be covering an entire area above where he was. ‘That’s different, but all I need right now is food! I’ll be able to find out what that is afterwards.’ Raze thought as he flew up the rest of the way and opened the door hatch that would lead him back outside. Within minutes, everybody was gathered inside the house in order to eat their late breakfast. Bon-Bon had a grin that could kill puppies while glaring daggers at Raze. Raze was oblivious to this was instead talking with the Doctor. “Have you made any progress with that dimensional thing?” Raze asked him to which he shook his head. “I’ve been moving wires and exchanging the parts, but there’s been no luck with it turning on.” The Doctor said while Raze sighed. ‘And there goes another bit of news...’ Raze trailed off as the food was brought to the table and set out for all to look. 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 them all. “We’re not staring at you sensei.” Ken said, looking toward Raze before going back to the food laid out. “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 Raze had never seen before. It kinda looked like lasagna, except it was colored more yellow and orange, but it’s just colored different in this Equestria? Raze looked at all the food, but the lasagna looked the best, ‘I guess I should try this first.’ “Well, kids get food first, then mares, and I’ll go last.” Raze said to them while walking away. Bon-Bon mouth fell open, “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.” As Lyra levitated some spoonfuls of food upon the twins’ plates, 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.” “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-” “It’s so yummy!” The two twins shouted with glee as they ate the lasagna. “Raze-sensei you gotta try it! You gotta!” Kira said, looking toward Raze. Raze looked at them and then back at Bon-Bon, “Okay…” He watched her consistently while picking up a plate. He got a few spoonfuls and went over to a chair and sat down. Bon-Bon watched with a smile upon her face, but also drew a plate with food as to not gather too much attention. Raze picked up his fork and took a bite of the food before him. He chewed it slowly and swallowed it. He soon began to eat a bit faster and then it was gone as if it had never touched the plate. “That was pretty good…” He said while noticing Bon-Bon’s evil grin. ‘What’s that all about?’ He asked himself. “Mommy, what is this stuff?” Ken asked as he swallowed some of the food. Lyra looked kindly at Ken, “Bon-Bon called it Carrot casserole.” Raze frowned and Bon-Bon was a full evil scientist at the moment. Raze 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 backdoor and flying to his ship. He had left the backdoor open and Bon-Bon walked over and shuts it. Another thirty minutes later and Raze was back, “Well, I’m ready to go into town!” He spotted Ken and Kira in different clothings, looking cleaned up and ready to go. 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!” They 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. ‘What did he mean by that? Oh well, I shouldn’t dwell on it.’ Raze finished while looking to the Twins. “Let’s get going.” He walked to the front door and opened it. “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?” Raze raised an eyebrow, “No way! Discord wouldn’t do anything like this! He’s pretty harmless.” “No he’s not! He nearly killed nee-chan!” Ken shouted in objection, the hatred seething in his voice. “He turned mommy gray and made her fight against us too!” Kira shouted as well, a bit of fear within her own voice. “But Discord never did that when I….” Raze trailed off as he realized what world he was in. ‘Oh…. Yeah… Discord was a bit different...’ Raze thought to himself. The twins were still a bit 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. Only to hit his head on something like glass. “Owowowo!” Ken shouted. 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!” Raze tilted his head in confusion, ‘So a barrier is over the town… This is the energy I felt earlier!’ Raze then smiled a bit having come up with an idea, “Hey, Ken! Come back down! I’ve got an idea!” Ken floated back down, and landed on the ground. He looked up to our tall saiyan hero, curious to know what he had planned. Raze looked at both the Twins, “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. ‘Gotta cover for the blast radius...’ Raze thought while chewing on his tongue methodically. The three saiyans, two being half human, 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. Raze held his hands to the side and charged up two red energy balls. They grew bigger and larger till Raze dictated that they were perfect. 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. “Ready?!” Raze asked them while holding the powerful ki in his hands. Raze glanced toward the twin’s direction as he saw them power up their own techniques. Ken appeared to be doing the familiar Kamehameha Wave, his hands cupped to his side as a blue energy ball formed and condensed itself within his palms. His mouth forming the individual syllables to the technique as he charged it up. Kira had her hands to her forehead, a yellow ball of spiking energy forming in front of them. Raze identified this technique just as Kira mumbled the words, “Masenko…” Raze seeing they were indeed ready nodded, “On three! One Two Three! Flash Cannon!” He threw the 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. Raze started to see a few tiny cracks in the side as it continued pushing 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. Raze wasn’t going to give in and he expected the Twins to do the same. He transformed into his super saiyan state and pushed forward with his attack. However unlike Raze, Ken could not transform in the midst of using a technique, and instead resorted to Kaio-ken. “HAH!” Despite Raze’s power increase, the shield continued to force them back. “Kaio-ken!” Raze heard Ken say, the little boy’s Ki spiking to higher levels. “Damn shield!” Raze yelled as his attack began to go critical and exploded against the side the other attacks followed suit which created a large enough explosion to send all three of the fighters straight into the ground. Crashing into it brought dust and dirt high into the sky. Raze laid upon the broken earth with a confused look on his face. ‘Oh come on, what makes a shiel- Oh crap!’ In that instant, Ken landed on Raze, and then Kira landed on them both. More dust and smoke were brought up while Raze was brought further down into the earth. “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. Ken and Kira were confused, it was painfully obvious they had no idea they could control themselves like that. Raze frowned seeing that they still hadn’t got off him, “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.” The two Twins got off him immediately, mumbling their apologies to their sensei. “Sorry, but why couldn’t we break the barrier?” Ken questioned. “Yeah! We should’ve been strong enough.” Kira said, her tail wiggled 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. Raze looked at the pony and actually recognized her, ‘Is that Trixie? From the whole Nightmare returns fiasco? What in the world is she doing here?’ “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. 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. “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 to her with all the honesty in the world. “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 while walking to the crazy unicorn in question. “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. “Okay, sure. Do your worst and then we’ll take you to the guards.” Raze said with a confident grin and putting his hands upon 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. He began to shrink in size as the blinding light grew in size. The attack ended abruptly and smoke flew 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 and Raze wiped the dust off his eyes to see. He noticed how Ken and Kira seemed a bit… Bigger, around his size actually. “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. ‘What the heck is up with my voice?!’ Raze thought as he looked around trying to find something to look into. ‘I need a mirror!’ Raze ran over to the nearest window he could find and looked up at it. “WHAT?!” He looked at his hands and the rest of his 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!” “Trixie will not, now go and run along child.” She replied as she turned around. “The grown up Trixie has work to do.” Trixie finished while leaving the scene. Raze’s anger wasn’t quelled, no it was growing. Raze was even surprised, ‘Why am I so angry?! This feels different!’ 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. Raze was beginning to calm down even though Twilight didn’t seem to be there, ‘Okay, so she can’t help me… Darn, what am I supposed to do about this now?’ “Oh… Hey guys.” A voice rang out, causing the Twins to look toward the staircase to see Spike, the baby dragon. Raze wasn’t paying much attention to the baby dragon, he was still concerned about his size. “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 snapped out of his trance after hearing that, “What?! She exiled Twilight? I’m going to hurt her!” Just like that, his anger was back. “Yeah, we can beat her together! Just avoid those age spells! I don’t wanna become a baby!” Ken said. “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 while seeing nothing but red. “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 in uncontrollable excitement mixed with rage. Ken and Kira followed promptly behind him. Raze made it to the large place with the most banners around it, “Wow, she’s boastful and prideful… I’mma deck her in the muzzle!” Raze proclaimed to… Well, only the twins were next to him. “I sense mommy in the building!” Ken shouted. “Me too!” Kira also said. “You sense Lyra and I sense muzzles! They need decking!” Raze said while charging forward. Raze reached the door and blasted it open causing door pieces to fly inside, “I’m here to deck muzzles!” He yelled in his childish voice. 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. Everypony except two dueling unicorns fighting with a variety of magical spells in the center of the room, one such spell passing just over the tip of Raze’s hair setting it on fire. Raze looked at the ponies, “Do you smell burnt hair?” “Sensei, your hair is on fire.” Ken stated. Raze looked up once he noticed his hair was indeed on fire. “AHHHH! My hair is on fire!” Raze yelled as he hit the floor. “Stop, Drop, and Roll!” He yelled while rolling across the floor. “Ken, Kira! What are you doing here?! And where is… Raze?!” Lyra yelled, Raze’s new appearance causing her to be distracted. This allowed Trixie to blast her with a magical attack and knock her unconscious against the wall. Raze stopped rolling when the fire went out finally, “Much better…” He got up from his rolling to see that Lyra had been knocked into a wall. “Mommy!” The twins yelled, 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 saw the Twins going at Trixie and frowned, “She’s mine! Get away!” He summoned his ki energy and blasted forward like a rocket. But the Twins still had a headstart to him, and reached Trixie before he did. However a crimson magical area wave of energy blasted the twins back, causing them to skid along the tiled ground of the town hall. Raze saw what had just happened to them and decided to not take chances, “RAGGGHHH!” He transformed immediately into his Super Saiyan state. He fired several Ki blasts at Trixie, all of which exploded around her in a bright yellow light. “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. “Oh, don’t be like that! I still haven’t made you bleed from your muzzle!” Raze shot forward determined to just that. Trixie fired several magical blasts at Raze to which he dodged them, “Emperor Trixie will show you what happens to children who mess with Trixie!” Raze stopped right before her and began to run around her in a large circle. Copies of himself began to appear around her form. They all looked at her, “Bet you can’t us!” “Trixie sees you are a child indeed!” Trixie shouted, magical energy gathering in her horn before she burst out another area wave of energy around her. The afterimages disappeared, but the real Raze had jumped at her and pulled back his left fist, “Take this!” He thrust it forward into her muzzle and she flew into the opposite wall. At least she was going to crash into it, if she didn’t disappear in a flash of light mid way. Reappearing behind Raze and she blasted him with a ball of magical energy, sending him flying into the same wall. Raze got up quickly thanks to the Ki reinforcing his body and smiled when he looked at Trixie, “You got a bloody muzzle there, I wonder who did that?” Trixie wiped a drop of blood off her muzzle, “Trixie will make you pay-” “Ha!” Two twins yelled in unison, a Twin Kamehameha wave launching from their palms and right toward 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. Lyra twitched before her eyes opened up as she groaned audibly with rejoining the physical world. Raze, Ken, and Kira, 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 could tell Raze easily that they were disappointed with Lyra not seeing their awesome and epic technique, but he also saw them brush it aside as they turned their attention to Trixie’s direction. Raze also looked over to Trixie to see that she had returned, “Oh, great… You came back, I’m so happy…” Luckily, he hadn’t powered down, so this was welcomed, “Guess we’ll have to do this again!” “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 looking at her 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…” He trailed off while keeping his Super Saiyan state up. Raze glanced toward the Twins, to find their eyes closed in concentration. They opened their eyes, smiles upon their faces. 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 Raze to his own thoughts. ‘So, Twilight’s going to win? Is she even able to deal with that idiot? Whatever, I’ll see eventually…’ Raze powered down and turned to Lyra. “Oh, are you feeling okay?” He asked her. 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?” She questioned. “Because being angry and only seeing red is so basic… Saiyans have tendency to lose themselves in them.” He 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.” Ken and Kira didn’t like being reminded of that half of their heritage, but they didn’t question it. Raze nodded, “Probably… Okay, just gotta let Twilight take care of the problem.” Suddenly, Raze felt another presence appear inside of his mind, “I’M BACK! And I’ve seen all my friends! All two of them! That includes you, Raze! Also, why is your imagination filled with candy, toys, and games before I could get here?! It’s not unwelcomed, mind you, but it’s not quite Discord enough!” Raze pouted, even if it was now cute, ‘You know… I am a child right now…’ Discord nodded, “Yes, you’re quite the munchkin. The fact that you’re thinking more about candy and other things like toys and such makes me joyful. Now I can entertain you and you may laugh more often!” Suddenly, Raze got distracted by Ken speaking aloud. “Um, mommy… If Twilight can’t fix the spell… Does this mean Raze-sensei has to go to school with us?” Raze’s eyes widened, “Haha, very funny. No. I will never go back to school.” Lyra smiled evilly, “Yes, it does.” Raze felt a pat on his shoulder, “Nice knowing you, Raze.” Discord said. ~End of Chapter~ Author's Note Well, we worked on this chapter till the dead of night for many days to bring this to you! I hope you all enjoy it! Please leave a comment, I don't bite!
Launching into New RealizationsJourney of Saiyans Chapter 10 (Raze Version) Raze was not having such a good day, the moment he tried that Carrot casserole, he knew that thing must have given him bad luck! There was no other explanation on why everything is suddenly going south. He gets turned into a kid, is stuck as a kid, suddenly told he has to go to school, and then Twilight can’t even fix his problem! ‘It just can’t get any worse!’ Raze thought while Discord flitted around him with a bright cheeky grin. The day had went by considerably fast after all the crazy things that had happened, but now Raze was going to be subjected to an even worse torment. Bon-Bon’s antics could never compared to this torture. Ken and Kira, who looked so much more innocent when he was looking down at them before, had brought them to the three screaming fillies that had nearly made him deaf the last time he saw them! And not only that, but they want him, to play, with them! And not the good ole sparring kind either. They wanted him to help them earn cutie marks! Why? He had no clue, but it sounded horrible. So he refused, “Nah, I don’t feel like it…” He then proceeded to walk away. But apparently, refusing something from this particular group was a one way ticket to HFIL. They followed him along the path and persisted in trying to change his mind. The amount of Puppy Dog Eyes from both the Twins and the Cutie Mark Crusaders was mind-boggling. “Puh-lease! Help Us!” Applebloom asked with those evil little-no... Huge eyes. “Come on Raze! It’ll be fun!” Kira said, pushing forward another Puppy Dog Eyes technique. Raze was unusually a bit more adept at dealing with those eyes since his awkward transformation, “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. “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 while continuing on his path to nowhere. Ken then said quite audibly, “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.” “You know what? You should respect other people when they say no.” Raze said while being as stubborn as a child should be. Ken and Kira pouted, along with the CMC. Raze smiled on the inside, ‘That got them good, now I can go make plans to escape the dreaded school! “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. ‘Curses, they talked again and actually got me at some part! Now I’ll be delayed! I must escape Lyra!’ Raze thought while turning around. “But Bon-Bon said that she had been rude to me while not respecting my hatred for carrots!” Raze came back with at Ken. 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 was stumped, ‘Not logic! It’s so cold and ruthless! Like getting stabbed in the chest repeatedly! Okay, how do I stop her from winning!?’ Raze tried to think himself out of the situation when another voice came into the conversation, ‘I’m confused, what in the world happened besides the whole kid thing? It sounds like I missed far too much!’ ‘Discord, things happen, carrots, lots of Frost Tarts, witches, and kid transformations… It was a horrifying situation made worse by everything being piled one after another… Heck you’ll probably see my memories when I have my nightmare about it soon enough.’ Raze thought to Discord. ‘I feel like I’m getting a punishment from Chris or some sort of deity for something I did.’ Raze couldn’t help but think. Discord shrugged, ‘Maybe a god got tired of you and is having fun with your misfortunes and it’s not just your thoughts.’ Raze frowned, ‘Do you have anything helpful to say?’ Discord smiled, ‘Nope.’ ‘You aren’t reassuring in the slightest...’ Raze thought back. ‘Well, I’m Discord, so it’s expected.’ Discord finished as Raze groaned. He noticed that the kids were now in a circle and appeared to be whispering about something. He heard small things and then a louder whisper, “Operation Raze Joins Us is a Go!” ‘Oh Celestia help me now… I said Celestia again didn’t I?’ Raze smacked his own face to try regain control of his thoughts. “Prepare yourself, Raze!” Sweetie Bell started. “For the most… “ Scootaloo continued. “Persuasive technique… “ Applebloom added. “Ever!” Ken yelled. “Created!” Kira finished. Suddenly, without warning, all five of the Cutie Mark Crusader members jumped right on Raze. Having no time to react as he felt himself begin to laugh while the CMC showed no mercy in their all out tickling technique. “The Tickle Torture!” They all yelled. Raze continued laughing while another voice laughed in the background. ‘Dammit Discord!’ Raze laughed until he started to cry. “You give up, Raze?” Kira asked as she continued tickling. “NEVER!” Raze 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 struggled with them as his strength increased. His laughing fit was reaching higher levels of insanity. “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. This time, his power carried him a great bit farther into the air. About 2 foot off the ground, luckily the Cutie Mark Crusaders were more on his midsection. The Twins had let go of him at that point, but he had still not turned over completely. ‘I’ve escaped those two! Now I’ll just let these three off and it’ll all be over!’ Raze thought joyously. “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, speaking so fast, and surprisingly very quiet, that Raze didn’t get a chance to even turn and run before he heard the infamous yelling of… “Cutie Mark Crusaders School Ditchers! Go!” They all yelled at once which startled Raze out of his stupor. “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 also 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. “You know, I didn’t take any of you as being deceptive…” Raze thought as his mind whirled at the new possibilities of a different personality being inside them as well. ‘Did Fhaze make copies of himself and use Discord for that too?’ Raze thought aimlessly while Discord laughed in the background. ‘No, he didn’t do that… At least, I don’t think he did…’ Discord thought back quickly. “Hey, we can so be deceptive!” Ken exclaimed. 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. “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. Raze was about to voice more objections when Discord flicked his shoulder with his claw, ‘Why do you question their help? Just accept it and say you’ll help them in return. After all, it’s only fair. Besides, this is a Saturday and you have another entire day of doing absolutely nothing.’ ‘You make a fair point, darn it…’ Raze thought back quickly. “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…” ‘I hate being a kid...’ Raze thought while Discord watched. 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.” “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-” He felt something strike the back of his head and he fell over. Discord frowned, ‘There are kids here Raze...’ Raze grumbled while pushing himself up and removing dirt from his mouth. “That was strange, it looked like somepony hit you, yet nopony was there.” Sweetie Bell said. “You okay Raze?” Kira asked in concern. “Ummm… I’m alright.” Raze said while quickly thinking back at Discord. ‘Oh, this will be a fight for later...’ Raze thought while Discord smiled. ‘Bring it, Munchkin.’ He returned with. 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 quite disturbingly, the grins of mischief, even if they didn’t know they were grinning like that. Raze backed up a little. ‘That’s kinda creepy...’ He thought with a small twisted smile. “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. Raze arched an eyebrow, ‘It’s too late to say no...’ Discord nodded, ‘Yep, let the chaos happen!’ “Turn it toward Dash’s place!” Scootaloo commanded. Ken turned the catapult clockwise, it’s aim pointing toward the cloud home in the sky. Raze could see that Rainbow Dash just happened to be there and was looking out one of the front windows, but she didn’t see them. At least not yet. 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 who then turned away slightly. “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 some concern written all over her face. “No worries nee-chan, the landing spot is all clouds!” Ken replied. Scootaloo smiled at Ken with tiny hearts in her eyes, “See? He get’s it! Who’s going first?” Raze smiled, ‘If they’re going to ignore me, then I guess it won’t matter if I play along!’ Discord smiled at that, ‘This is perfect, time to see the chaotic potential with all of you together!’ “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!” He then began to turning it back at a fast past until the holder was nearly against the platform it sat upon. “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. He grabbed the rope that held the catapult down and then he brought his other hand forward. Summoning a small amount of Ki power he put it to the rope. It began to burn slightly as the rope snapped a small bit. He whittled away at it slowly and then it completely snapped apart. Scootaloo blasted up while screaming as loudly as she possibly could through the sky. Raze watched with a hand over his head to block the sunlight. He watched Rainbow Dash seemed to get surprised and blasted toward her door. She then flew out to see Scootaloo fly past her house. Rainbow opened her wings and flew off after the speeding flightless pegasus. Raze frowned knowing that they’d been a little off in their trajectory. “We’re all dead…” Raze said while turning away from the catapult. “You did it, Ken!” Raze said as he pointed at Ken. “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. While they had argued amongst themselves, Discord was busy wiping tears away from his eyes, ‘It’s so beautiful!’ He cried tears of joy while watching the ensuing chaos. “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…” Rainbow Dash had been there for the last three minutes while holding onto Scootaloo. A big frown planted on her face as well. She looked angry, Raze was accustomed with that from his own first meeting with her. ‘Great, repeating history…’ Raze thought to himself. Applebloom, Sweetie Bell, and Ken all pointed to Kira. Self-explanatory that they were putting the blame on the little girl who actually agreed with Raze to reconsider. Raze had also without the use of his mind, already knew to point at her on instinct. Raze finally realized that he had been raising his arm the whole time. ‘What in the world is this? Auto-pilot?’ Raze thought to himself while trying to make his arm go down. “Sorry Scootaloo… “ Kira said in a defeated tone, her tail limp against her back legs. Raze knew this was wrong, but his damn arm wouldn’t go down, ‘Come down you damn thing! Down I say!’ Discord calmed down from his tears of joy, ‘Someone can’t resist the child within them! Or should I say, child outside them!’ ‘Oh, haha… ‘ Raze replied in his mind. Rainbow Dash sighed audibly, “It was all of your faults, wasn’t it?” She said with a bit of irritation laced in her voice. Raze looked up at the adult Rainbow and held his own. Nopony was stronger than his will, it was impossible to break someone who had gone through so many things to get to where he was today. But something was strange about this encounter, he was feeling new things. ‘What is this strange feeling?’ Raze asked himself. Discord tapped him on the shoulder, ‘The feeling is like you’re about to cave in because of the look she’s giving you.’ “SHUT-UP!” Raze shouted all of a sudden. He slapped his hands over his mouth quickly, ‘I’ll never get used to this higher voice!’ “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!” Discord frowned, ‘Wow, sometimes even you can slip up...’ ‘Not in the mood, Discord!’ Raze thought back to him. It was at this time Raze noticed the Twins and the other CMC start backing up away from him and Rainbow Dash. Discord noticed this and made his way over toward a tree to avoid being hit by any speedy saiyans or sonic rainbooming pegasi. 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. “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. She coughed and then blew away that dust with her wings, “Get back here you tyke!” She then sped off in hot pursuit of our little Saiyan hero. Raze looked back with a smile, ‘Oh, she’s chasing me now, but she won’t for long!’ He looked over the tops of the trees and saw that he was heading in the direction of Ghastly Gorge. ‘Well, Deja vu...’ Raze thought while speeding toward the gorge. What was different however, was one: A few mountains were missing, and two: the twins were flying just underneath them, watching the chase. Raze blasted through several looping rocks and found that he was in the very same race track that was crudely used by Rainbow Dash the first time he visited Equestria. He also looked back to see Rainbow was gaining on him, ‘Huh, that’s nice…. WAIT! She’s gaining?!’ Indeed she was, “HA! You won’t get away from me that easily! They don’t call me Rainbow Dash for nothing!” “CRAP!” Raze shouted while speeding up to try and gain distance. But Rainbow Dash still continued to catch up to him, in fact she was on his tail now. Well, if he still had one, he heard Rainbow yell at him, “Face it kid, you’re mine!” Raze knew that last time he had almost been beaten in the same race, but he hadn’t been able to control his super saiyan transformation at that time. Of course now, he had a chance to play with her a bit. “So you think so?!” Raze blasted downward with precision and then changed direction and flew past a Rainbow charging in the opposite direction. “HA! You missed me!” Raze shouted while laughing and pulling down his eye with one finger. Rainbow Dash didn’t bother to stop and turn, instead she just did a one-eighty vertical roll, effectively turning herself around without losing any speed. Raze anticipated this and blasted forward with a kaio-ken x10 backing up his speed. Once again, she flew in the opposite direction while Raze made fun of her. “HA! Maybe you might be smarter here, but you’re definitely slower!” Raze said with a grin. “Ugh, stop speaking like you know me!” Rainbow Dash yelled back, her speed increasing even more as she slowly ascended higher. ‘I’m getting bored...’ Raze thought as he turned to see Discord floating beside him at nearly the same speed. ‘I am too, finish her!’ Discord said to Raze with a devious look on his face. ‘Where did you come from?’ Raze thought to him. ‘Magic *snort*’ Discord transmitted from his brain. ‘Makes sense.’ Raze thought while turning his attention to Rainbow. Who apparently was heading right toward him at a Sonic Rainboom speed. Raze noticed this and immediately transformed into his Super Saiyan state and quickly dodged the incoming pegasus. She blasted past him and saw a rock coming up right in front of her. Instead of slowing down however, she continued to gain speed, a small blue aura, barely visible to the naked eye, enveloping her she pierced through the rock like a bullet through paper. And she continued to make her way into the sky and straight at Raze once again. Raze saw this and flew directly at her, ‘This should be good!’ They closed in on each other, closer, and closer, and just as they were about to collide, Rainbow pulls herself up, causing Raze to flying right under her. Raze knew she would copy him and took the chance to escape. He continued on his course and that’s when he sensed something different ahead of him. “Raze slow down!” He heard the voice of a young girl yell. “Oh, this is gonna hurt!” The voice of Ken yelled as Raze looked forward to see the Twins trying to get out the way. Keyword: Trying. 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. ‘Wow, that wasn’t as bad as I thought it would have been.’ Raze got up and padded himself off. Dust brushed off his clothing and he looked at Ken and Kira, “Hey, you two alright?” “Woooow… When did Equestria get dragon balls?” Ken muttered. “So many Razeys…” Kira groaned, her tail limp on the ground. “Yep, you’re both fine, now where is that annoying rainbow colored catastrophe?” Raze asked out loud. Ken shook off his minor concussion, and stood back up. “What you say, Raze-sensei?” He asked, looking at the equal heightened 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 fingers. “Your the one in goldie hair form… Uhh… three and two halfs?” Ken said. Kira got up and looked to Raze, “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 as a hoof was put on his shoulder. “Alright Tyke, your caught, so just give up for… Uh, whatever you did.” Rainbow said with a proud stance. Raze powered down, “I give…” Discord frowned, ‘This is new...’ ~Fifteen Minutes Later~ “So wait, you’re telling me… That not only has Raze catapulted Scootaloo across Ponyville, but also gave Kira a concussion?” Lyra asked Rainbow who currently was under fire, but Raze would get his soon enough. 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, who suddenly had a shiver of cold running down his spine. But instead of painfully punishing Raze with great doom, she only 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. 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 with hope. “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… “ 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 first minute was great. The next five minutes would pass and Raze noticed a strange uncomfortable tingle. Twenty minutes passed and he would begin to feel as if his knees were going to start bruising. By thirty minutes, Raze could swear that his skin had weakened since he had lost his original height and age. “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 stood on his knees, “Lucky little… *Grumble*” Ken started crawling away from the scene of the execution platform, groaning every few seconds in agonizing pain, while Raze was still being hanged. So forty minutes would pass. Raze felt his knees burning and he fought away the growing want to cry. ‘I’m a man! Stuck in this child’s body! I will not cry!’ Raze thought defiantly. Discord watched from the ceiling with some concern, ‘You’ll make it through! She can’t be too cruel now!’ Fifty minutes and Raze had let his guard down. Tears were starting to slide down his cheeks. He could do nothing to stop the consistent pain in his knees, but he tried oh so hard not to feel it. Sixty minutes passed… “Okay Raze, your punishment is hereby over.” Lyra said, the smell of cooking had filled the air only a minute ago. Raze fell over while still crying and he turned away from Lyra. He was intent on ignoring her by this point. ‘Stupid Scootaloo, stupid catapult, stupid Rainbow hair, and stupid Discord for not helping!’ His thoughts were filled with anger and contempt, but he kept them to himself at least he thought he did. Discord shook his head, ‘It’s not my fault that you launched yourself into this mess, jeez...’ Raze ignored him pointedly. Discord continued, ‘You could’ve just left. It’s not like she has much power over you...’ Raze ignored him again. Discord was about to continue when Lyra spoke up, “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…” Raze finished with confusion heavy on his mind. “Mmh… “ Lyra mumbled, as she telekinetically floated over a cold wet rag. “Place this over your knees, It’ll help. I’ve already gave Ken one earlier.” Raze looked at the rag floating before his face and then he looked away, ‘Why did I stay?’ He couldn’t come up with an answer and found himself taking the rag out of the cyan magical field. He found himself getting into a sitting position and pulling up the legs of his pants to put the cold rag onto his bruised knees. He found that his anger appeared to be dying away only to be replaced by another feeling, one he couldn’t recognize. He finally looked at Lyra and almost saw her in a different light. ‘What is wrong with me? Why do I get the feeling that this has happened before?’ Raze questioned himself more as the cold rag continued to soothe away the rage inside him. 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. Raze looked up at her and he was sure that something was happening, a change of some sort, ‘This is so-’ “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. Discord smiled, ‘Even I can’t deny that I like a happy ending every once in a while. Though when it comes to the universe he comes from, it’s to be expected… Wow, I feel older than I know I am...’ Raze hadn't even heard Discord’s thoughts because he was being taken upstairs by Kira to go look at the sleeping mat they had made for him. And honestly, it didn't look half bad. ~End of Chapter~ Author's Note Well, here's the Raze Version of this chapter! The Twin version will be out sometime soon! :D
Razing the School RoofJourney of Saiyans Chapter 11 (Raze Version) A day had passed at now it was the dreaded Monday, Raze had actually stayed pretty close to Lyra’s home for all of Sunday and that was something. But now he was running for his life, because he was one crucial point in his bid to get out of school. His instincts being so overcharged at the moment, made him yell at her. He remembered those words quite clearly, “I’M NEVER GOING TO SCHOOL!” He regretted that decision in the long run because now he had angered the one pony he shouldn’t have, Lyra Heartstrings. Turns out, she’s pretty good at chasing saiyans! Who knew? So they were now going through the market square. Raze using his great ability of being small at the moment was dodging through different stands causing quite a mess all over the place. Not far behind was Lyra, who was teleporting out of the way of different objects with great precision. “Get back here, Raze! Or you’re going to regret it! TILE FLOORS!” Lyra exclaimed as Raze sped up even more. “To hell with that!” Raze yelled while plowing through ponies. “There’s nothing wrong with school! Why do you have to be so difficult?!” Lyra questioned while Raze turned around and stuck out his tongue. He made a loud raspberry sound and then realized, ‘What the hell?! Stupid childish things!’ But that still didn’t stop him! And that’s when he looked ahead to see an unsuspecting purple unicorn in front of him. “OH GOD!” Raze smashed into Twilight Sparkle, but there were no sparkles today, only pain. He and her both hit some other part of the ground. Twilight groaned in pain while Raze just exhaled in annoyance. “Thanks, Twilight! I almost got away!” Lyra caught up quite quickly. So did the Twins at that point who were eating bananas that just happened to fly into their hands. They were eating them contently. Before Lyra could say anything, another pony showed up while looking at her with a hoof held out. “You going to pay for those or not?” The pony asked her. Lyra blinked, looked to the Twins, and then to the bananas. “How did you… Nevermind, here.” Lyra passed a few bits from whatever pocket she had to the pony. Raze looked at her with an arched eyebrow, “You have pockets?! CAN I SEE?!” Lyra finally realized what just happened, “You shouldn’t be concerned about that! You’re going to school!” Raze’s eyes widened again, “NOPE!” But this time it was too late to run, only Lyra grabbed him with her magic. Raze resisted though and her magic began to shake up a bit, she applied more force, but Raze increased his efforts. Finally, when it seems Raze might just escape, another aura joined in the fray. A aura of purple hue. Twilight smiled, “I just noticed you could use some help there, Lyra.” Raze frowned at Twilight, “YOU TRAITOR!” He yelled while Twilight continued her smile. ‘Well, it’s all over now and to think I could help you, but since you were so mean and didn’t listen to my last line, you must suffer!” Discord said with a smile that could kill puppies. ‘Stupid traitors...’ Raze thought to himself. And so, they were off on a brilliant new adventure. Raze grumbled from inside his cage while the rest of the group walked to the danger zone. The Twins followed behind without a care in the world. Backpacks of mint green attached to their backs. They were truly happy. Twilight and Lyra conversed about various things while Raze had no choice but to listen as they edged closer and closer to the blood red building that haunted his nightmares. Raze would flip upside down and right side up in his floaty cage. “Oh don’t be so grumpy Raze-sensei! School isn’t bad!” Kira tried to comfort him. 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. “Well, maybe if you listened to mommy in the first place you wouldn’t be in it?” Kira replied. “Sure… That’ll happen…” Raze said with obvious sarcasm that the Twins would not recognize. Ken and Kira drew their attention away from him, and looked forward at the building ahead. Raze glanced ahead as well, and found that the Cutie Mark Crusaders were surrounded by their parental figures, or older siblings in front of the school building. They looked to be quite angry at them a little bit anyway. Lyra and Twilight looked to Raze with arched eyebrows, Raze didn’t even have to say anything to know that it was hopeless to argue. ‘I knew it, all bets are off…’ Raze thought while trying to turn around in his magic cage. He ended up doing a magical midair flip and that was it. Luckily for him, turning in motion didn’t make him sick. The teacher of the school exited from the building, and took a single glance at the CMC, then to the twins, and finally her eyes set on Raze. Her eyes were filled with confusion before rolling them and turning back and going straight into the building. 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.” “No problem mommy!” Kira stated. Raze smiled evilly, ‘One hole in a building coming up!’ Discord frowned, ‘I don’t think so, you will suffer for my pain!’ Raze frowned in discontent again, ‘Traitor, I will manage something awesome! You can’t stop me!’ “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. Lyra dragged Raze into building and dropped him on the floor. Raze hit the floor with a small groan, but got back up immediately and tried to walk past Lyra only to realize that he was looking at quite the group of ponies. ‘Seriously? Why am I here? What does the Super Saiyan Gods have against me?’ He immediately turned around and Lyra smiled. “I thought so.” She said as Raze stuck out his tongue again. Raze walked alone for a minute before being joined by the Twins. “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. “Ffffffffuuuuuucc-” As he was hit out of thin air once again. ‘No cursing, Raze, now you’re in a room filled with children.’ Discord said darkly. ‘Screw off.’ He thought back instantly. Raze took a glance around, it was pretty much a average school room. Only enlarged a bit and it has a old chalk board instead of the electronic board he had in his school way back then. He noticed no pens of any sort, instead pencils, quills, and ink bottles. The entirety of the room was filled to the brim with seven, eight, and nine year old fillies and colts, the Twins included of course. ‘What is this? Ye ole school house?’ Raze thought to himself. Raze sat down at a random desk in the middle of the room and quickly looked around to see another filly approaching him very quickly. She looked to be a pale magenta with a mane of pale violet and white streaks in it. She looked at him with narrowed eyes, “What are you doing in my desk?!” Raze looked at her curiously, “Well? Are you using your eyes? I’m sitting and it’s quite comfortable despite this evil place.” She arched an eye, “Well? Why don’t you move, Monkey?!” Raze looked and leaned over to her, “What’d you say, I didn’t catch that.” She got to his ear and whispered, “Why don’t you move, Monkey?” Raze sighed, “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 asked him. Raze didn’t notice the Twins and CMC watching just a little ways away. Raze narrowed his eyes and they seemed to dilate, “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.” She backed up, unused to such treatment, and then galloped to the other side of the room. She found a desk and sat there followed by another gray filly that he didn’t know. He then turned and put his legs up on the desk to be more comfortable. That’s when Kira walked over finally. “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. 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!” Ken finally came up along with the rest of the CMC who were in awe at the sight of Diamond Tiara retreating to a new desk. They were quiet for a split moment, before Scootaloo yelled, “That, Was, Awesome!” Raze took all the praise with confusion and modesty, “Yeah, I’m pretty awesome like that.” The school bell rang, immediately children all around Raze scrambled to get to their desk before the teacher could discover they weren’t in them. The teacher’s door to her lounge opened wide, revealing a magenta colored pony with kind, caring… diabolical, evil, he has to get out here, eyes. ‘I never signed up for this…’ Raze trailed off in his thoughts. “Alright class, as you all know I’m Ms. Cheerilee, and we have a new student, by the name of Raze Heartstrings.” She looked to Raze, “Would you introduce yourself to the classroom?” Raze looked at her with twitching eyes, “Fu- I mean sure.” He walked to the front of the classroom beside the caring school teacher. He looked down at the floor and then at his fingers, ‘Help...’ He breathed in deeply, “Iwillhurtallofyouifyouannoyme!” Cheerilee looked at him 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…” He trailed once again. Cheerilee looked at him once more, “Are you sure that’s all you have to say?” “YES! Thing!” Raze said while walking back. Cheerilee frowned, but said nothing. “Today class we’re going to start with Math.” She exclaimed with too much joy. The entire class responded with the happily… And wanting… Expression of groaning. Raze was indifferent, ‘Math? Ughh….. Wonder what kind of math this place has?” With absolutely no explanation, a piece of chalk appeared in her hoof, and she began drawing awfully basic math equations on the board. Raze looked at them, “Whut in the heck is she doing?” He suddenly got curious and asked Applebloom a simple question, “What grade is this?” “This is third grade.” She whispered back. “Third grade and your learning ten plus twelve?” Raze arched an eyebrow. “Well… Yeah!” Applebloom said with confusion. Needless to say, the next hour was boring. Raze had done all of these problems in seconds. He even made a whiteprint of the entire bottom of his ship. He even doodled images of Frieza being crushed by his ship or at least what he thought looked like Frieza anyway. Cheerilee walks next to him, “I have to say Raze, you solve math equations faster than even the Twins.” Raze looked at her, “Well, this is too easy.” Cheerilee nodded with a smile, and left to check the others, by the time she was done. She exclaimed, “Arts and Crafts time, today we are making pony paper chains.” Raze looked at her and then back at his doodles, ‘I think that I am just going to keep drawing.’ So he did, for the next two hours he drew while the rest of the class actually worked on what they were assigned too. Which meant lots of paper scattered about the place as they all usually tried to make cut up objects besides ponies. Raze felt many pieces of paper fly onto his head where it began to make a steady pile. Raze still kept drawing despite the obviously huge stack of paper that sat upon his head. Ken poked Raze, which drew his attention for a split second, Ken clad in paper helmet, sword, and shield. “Look Raze, I’m a knight!” Ken said joyfully. Raze didn’t look, but said, “That sounds awesome, you should go be that.” Ken frowned, “You didn’t even look, Raze!” He began poking his paper sword on Raze’s arm. Raze turned his head while keeping the pile of papers completely well balanced, “Looks pretty awesome there, happy?” Ken pouted, “Not funny.” Raze turned back to his papers, but underestimate Ken’s drive to get his attention. Ken looked up to the pile of papers upon Raze’s hair and promptly grinned mischieviously. He walked behind Raze, and with a small Ki enhanced breath, blew the papers all across Raze and his desk, sending his own drawings scattering about. Raze frowned, “Darn, now I have to get up to get them…” He trailed off as he flew out of his desk and to the top of the room. ‘Okay, where are they?’ Raze thought to himself while seeing the teacher looking at something oddly familiar. ‘Oh shit...’ Well, there are worse that could happen. Right? He heard Kira’s voice rang out, “What is this alien girl under that ship?” ‘Oh my Celestia...’ Raze then realized that he was saying this again and hit himself. Can’t get any worse? Right? *Ring* The lunch bell, thank… Whatever. Raze immediately flew to the door and escaped from the room, “Wait a second… Where’s my capsules?” ~Flashback~ “Hey, Raze-sensei. Can we see what you used to make ships?” Kira asked him while her tail wiggles in excitement. “Uhhh… Sure.” Raze said while handing over the case. ~Flashback Over~ ‘Wow, I really do suck…’ Raze thought to himself as his stomach began to growl. He saw Kira going up to him. “Say Kira, you wouldn’t happen to have my capsules. Would you?” Raze questioned Kira. “Capsules… Oh those thingys! Nope! But I noticed you didn’t make a lunch, so me and mommy made you one!” Kira opened her bag, and pulled out another then gave it to Raze. “Thanks, Kira!” Raze exclaimed while holding the bag above his head. The entire class went outside and found several picnic tables to eat at. Raze sat down at one of the tables and was promptly joined by the Cutie Mark Crusaders, and one Ken. They ate silently for about two minutes, meals devoured with ease, suddenly Scootaloo popped a scooter out of nowhere, Raze arched an eyebrow before both his eyebrows rose when Kira popped out a skateboard. The two girls looked to each other with competitive grins. They left the table and placed their vehicles on the ground, Scootaloo got onto the scooter and her wings went superspeed like a buzzing bee. Kira got on her own skateboard, tail swishing in the wind. They blasted away from the confused boys and fillies, “Wow, I never did tha- Are those swings?!” Raze left the table immediately. Before Raze could get to the swings though, he noticed that were filled up already. Raze looked at them and hit the ground with his knees. “NOOOOOOO, WHY CELESTIA!?” Raze yelled to the heavens. Ken placed a hand on Raze’s shoulder, “Yeah, it sucks! Wish there were more swings.” Ken said. Raze frowned sadly, “It’s just not fai- WAIT A MINUTE! Is that a slide?!” Raze went over there immediately ran for that with Ken following close behind only for several other ponies to get there first. Raze’s whole body hit the ground this time. “This is ridiculous!” Raze yelled to whatever gods that were watching over him. “Why can’t I- Is that- “ Ken just grasped his arm and began to rush both him and Raze toward the Jungle Gym before the mass of ponies could assualt it. “No time to say, let’s play!” Ken yelled. 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 while continuing his 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!” 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. Raze smiled alongside Ken, “I’m the commander in chief of Ken’s armed forces!” Surprisingly, it was 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. Raze tapped Ken on the shoulder, “Why are we just standing here?” “We’re going to flick their foreheads to defeat them!” Ken grinned, his flicking finger ready for action. “Wouldn’t that cause injury if they fell off though?” Raze questioned with a small amount of concern. “It’s not that high silly!” Ken replied. At that moment a filly tried to get on top, only for Ken to gently flick her forehead. She fell back holding her head, and fell to the ground tongue outstretched in a fake death. Raze nodded, “Okay then…” “You guys can’t win- Wait, wait, wait!” Ken shouted. Out of the blue, Ken was tackled to the ground by Featherweight which caused both them to fall toward the ground. “Of all the ponies… “ Ken muttered. Featherweight smiled, “I’m going to be a hoofball player thanks to this!” Raze found himself overcome by the amount of fillies and colts, “Help! I’m being oppressed!” He found himself yelling despite the fact that he was just fine. A flag appeared over the Jungle Gym, proclaiming victory for the ponies, their ‘human’ enemies defeated. Kira had returned from skateboarding and was eating a tuna salad sandwich. Raze and Ken were recovering from the attack. It was long a fought battle, but they finally returned home from over skies. They herda bell ring and Raze’s entire body completely drooped to the ground much like a tail of a Saiyan. “Well, just a little longer…” Raze and his entourage of friends/traitors except Kira returned to the evil lair of Cheerilee. ~School Again…~ Raze sat in the desk, he had paper again, but this time it wasn’t the same. The class they were in now consisted of grammar. Now he had quite the understanding of his world, but for some reason, he had no idea what to make of the words here. See, everyone talks english in this world, but for some reason it was all different, ‘What in the hell is up with these books? I thought the universal language was English!’ Raze instantly raised his hand despite being in school for one day, “CHEERILEE!” He yelled rudely. Cheerilee walked up to him, “What is it, Raze?” She asked kindly. Raze put the open book into her face, “What is this?” “It’s a book, you can’t read it can you?” She replied. Raze nodded slowly, “We talk english, but these are not english, why aren’t they english?!” Kira voiced out, “What is english?’ “You just spoke in english!” Raze said while waving his hands around. “Well yeah silly, I had to say the word english in my question!” Kira replied. “I think he means equestrian.” Cheerilee stated. Raze smacked a hand against his face, “You just spoke in english! We all are speaking english! Why is everyone so mental?!” “Did he say dental?” A random filly said. “Whats wrong with our teeth?” Another random filly questioned. Ken scratched his head, “I don’t think our teeth are english.” He said. “No, my mom told me that my teeth must be ship-shape!” A colt exclaimed. “I don’t think mommy Lyra ever brought us to the dentist before… “ Kira trailed off. Raze knew that it was pretty much out of his hands at the moment, so he opted out, “I’m just going to sit here for the rest of class…” ~Hours passed and now there was only one minute~ Raze stared intently at the clock, ‘Come on… Come on… ‘ With each tick, the large handle drew ever closer to the mark of twelve, ten… Eight… Five… Four… Three… Two… One. 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. “Finally!” Raze exclaimed, he noticed that Ken and Kira had already equipped their backpacks onto themselves, ready to go. “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. Raze felt that strange tug at his heart, but he tried to ignore it, “Uhh… Yeah, sure.” “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. Raze turned his head to the side as his stomach joined in, ‘How does she do that?’ “Alright, we can go eat out… But no reordering more than three times!” “Yay!” The Twins cheered in joy. “I can do that… “ Raze trailed off. ~Outside the Restaurant After Eating of Course~ Raze smiled while patting his stomach, “I can’t believe we got her to give us a fourth helping!” “I know, my stomach is very happy!” Ken exclaimed in joy, “I was scared it was gonna eat me earlier!” “Um, I don’t think we should’ve eaten so much… “ Kira trailed off. Lyra stared at Raze with a frown on her face, and glanced down 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. “Are you our new brother now?” Kira asked as she tilted her head. “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. “Twenty two years old, and that’s old for saiyans?” Lyra questioned with some worry. “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. Kira walked next to Raze, and looked like she had something to say. But every time she seemed to get close to gathering the courage to say it, she glanced toward her brother and stopped all together of even mentioning it. When they had gotten close to the house, everypony and Ken had entered. However, Kira had pulled on Raze’s shirt, preventing our hero from following the rest of the group into the building. “Um… Raze-sensei…” Kira trailed off. Raze felt the tug on his shirt and then turned to hear Kira say something, “What is it?” “Well, I was… Well… Um… “ Kira continued to sputter on her wording. Raze frowned, “Is something wrong?!” He exclaims at her. “Iwanttobetrainedharder!” Kira exclaimed quickly, her tail twitched in anxiety. Raze felt the breeze blow by and that instantly made him scratch the back of his head, “Uhhh… I 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 looked at him, her eyes easily conveying her inner thoughts of what Raze had told her. Her tail stopped its slow twitching, and she replied with complete sincerity. “Yes! I can do it! I’ll get my homework done early and everything so we can train!” Kira replied. “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 with thoughts of what Super Saiyan Kira may look like. “I don’t know, daddy had said that he doesn’t know if girls can become Super Saiyan.” Kira said. “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 said awkwardly. “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. “Your 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. ‘But I did...’ Raze dejectedly thought while walking inside. Discord flew into the house while following Raze all of a sudden, “Because I can. What’s going on Raze?!” Raze frowned, “You just know how to appear in the wierdest of times…” “I never said for you to question where I come from, just tell me what’s been happening while I’ve been gone.” Discord said while continuing to float around. “I’ve had the worst day of school in my life and Lyra is looking at me weirdly…” Raze found himself being stared at by a confused Lyra. “Ummm… Hi?” He said to her while waving his hand slightly. “You’re not going mental on me are you?” Lyra teased with an eyebrow purposely arched. “Ummm… Maybe you imagined all of that and you’re the crazy mare?” He questioned her quickly. “At least I don’t talk to the wall.” Lyra said with a smile. Discord looked at him and smirked, “She has you there.” Indeed, he was standing before a wall, “Buh… Wuh?” “Very intelligent.” Lyra commented. “Truly a genius amongst your species.” Raze looked at her with a twitching eye at this point, “Well, you’re green! With a harp on your butt!” “And you’re peach, with a black moose on your head.” “Well, at least I have feet!” Raze said while pointing at her hooves. “At least I’m an adult.” Lyra smirked, surely she’d gained victory. “Damn Trixie! Ummm…. Well, how do you play your harp without magic?” He questioned. “Hooves, not that hard to push and pull strings.” “Ummm… You’re a horse!” Raze said with assurance. “And you’re a deformed monkey, we’re all animals.” “No questions there… Let’s agree to disagree!” Raze said finally. “Agreed.” Lyra finished. “So, what do you normally do after an entire day?” Raze asked her. “Number of things, mostly the Twins would play with toys, go in the backyard, and do a number of inventive games they come up with. I usually just read a book, cook, and watch them play. Of course… I do have to clean their room once in a while.” “Shouldn’t they clean their room up? I know that my Godfather never helped me with that, but he was virtually there every other time I needed someone to talk to and he was there for public events.” Raze said to her. “Describe, every other time.” Lyra asked curiously. “Ummm… Well, I guess I could try to. So, after I finished training with my Dad, he’d always leave afterwards… Something about business all the time...” Raze finished with slight disappointment evident in his expression. “Sounds like those nobility neglections in the Griffon Kingdom.” Lyra said. “You’ve had it rough in your… First childhood.” She finished. “My Dad was the king… But my Godfather, Garuth was so much more like a real parent. I don’t remember my Mom too much, Dad said she died, but everytime I try to remember back to those times with her, it’s almost like a void.” Raze said with a slight hollow feeling inside. “Strange, I’m sure the memories will return to you one day Raze. You know, the twin’s have a father too. He’s sealed inside Ken, and I only meet him once during a accident with Discord. Honestly wish I could get to know him more than just a split minute, and having a father around would bring wonders to Kira.” Lyra said. Raze felt like he should tell her, but then he strayed away from the idea, ‘She’ll just think I’m crazy…’ Discord nodded, “Well, I could zap everyone inside real quick once sleep takes over. All it takes is a snap of my eagle claws.” Raze almost nodded subconsciously, but stopped himself, “Umm.. Well, maybe you’ll see him sometime.” Lyra nodded, “Now, go and play with the twins. Or check up with your friends! I’ll just catch up on this interesting book I was reading before… “ She said, lifting up a book and walking over to the nearest recliner. “Sure…” Raze immediately began to climb the stairs with Discord following him. ~End of Chapter~ Author's Note So that happened...
A Moment to Move; Chaos Unbound!~Journey of Saiyans Chapter 12~ Raze turned over on his little makeshift bed as he felt a small breeze blowing in from the window. He shivered and snuggled further into the blankets. Discord watched them while they slept. ‘This is pretty… weird. I wonder when they’ll be getting up.” On the top bunk of a twin bunk bed, a certain eight year girl promptly awakened, sitting up as she rubbed her eyes due to drowsiness. Kira yawned, before pushing the sheets off of her and climbing down slowly via the ladder. ‘Ah! There we go! Now to watch and wait… And Action!’ Discord smirked as he watched her finally touch the floor. Kira stretched, before her Ki senses went off a bit and she hastily turned around to see who was there. Only to see a still sleeping Raze, she tilted her head in confusion before her body reminded her of nature’s call. She rushed to the bathroom soon after. The loud stamping of her feet woke Raze from his slumber and his eyes parted slightly only to see Discord watching him. ‘Why don’t you ever sleep?’ ‘Why do you sleep at all?’ Discord retorted. ‘Touche…’ Raze trailed off while turning over and pushing himself up. He looked at his hands and realized he was still a kid. ‘I thought it might wear off over night or something...’ ‘Nope, you’re still smaller than ever! But that’s okay!’ Discord said quickly as Raze frowned. ‘Whatever.’ With that, he looked over to see that Ken was still asleep. “Guess that doesn’t change either!” Raze said while walking toward the door. He picked up his boots and walked into the main hallway shutting the door behind him. He put them on and proceeded to float downstairs so as to not wake the one mare pony patrol that snored loudly from an open door in the main hall on the second floor. Raze landed with a light tap on the floor and made his way to the kitchen. ‘Okay, something to eat really fast so I can get outta here for the day!’ He looked around the kitchen and quickly found the bread box. He found the butter and the toaster which he used to make his food quickly. Of course, he left a mess of bread crumbs on the counter and didn’t remember to clean them up as he ate the toast as fast as he could. Discord floated down through the top of the kitchen ceiling. ‘What’s on the plate today, Raze?” Raze had already finished the toast and looked up with a small smile. “I don’t know what to do today! All I know is, we’re not going to school again!” Raze heard footsteps coming down the stairs and then smiled, “Speaking of school, wonder what Ken and Kira have planned for that?” Discord silently agreed with a small nod. Said two twins were stepping down the stairs with their Gi’s on, not their school clothes. They both entered the kitchen area to find Raze, and both looked at him curiously. “Morning Raze-sensei, what you doing so early up?” Kira questioned, her tail wagging behind her. “I’m going to find something to do! Anything will do, I just need to not go to school. And what are you two doing today?” He asked them back. Kira commented, “I think mom only wanted you to see what our school was like… “ But Ken answered him, “Me and Kira usually wake up early to train, that way we don’t get weaker over time. Though we do tend to sleep in during weekends.” “Train?! Let’s go get my ship and I could take it with me somewhere a little farther away from the one mare Pony Patrol!” Raze said to them both. “Pony Patrol? There’s a Pony Patrol?” Ken questioned, looking to his sister. “I don’t know, I never seen one.” Kira replied to him. “It’s your mom! Now let’s go before she wakes up!” Raze said as he got off his chair moved toward the back hallway of the first floor of the quaint home. Kira climbed up the counter, opened a cabinet, and yanked out a box of dry cereal. Then jumped down and both her and Ken followed Raze to the backyard door. Opening the box and letting her twin have some handfuls as they both ate. Raze opened the door and allowed the Twins to pass by as he shut it and flew off toward his gravity chamber. He clicked a button on the outside causing a loud boom to go off and for smoke to puff outward. The smoke cleared and revealed a small capsule in it’s wake. “Alright, let’s go!” He exclaimed while picking up the small device. He blasted into the sky quickly followed by Ken and Kira. “Hey, do you two know any area around Ponyville that we could use as a an area to set this thing down?” “Whitetail woods?” Kira was the first to respond. “The park?” Ken responded next, then paused a bit, “One of the cut-off tops of the semi-destroyed mountains?” Ken seemed to copy. “That sounds like a place that they wouldn’t look for! Okay, that first mountain on the left!” Raze turned toward that direction and flew through several clouds catching moisture on his gi. Ken and Kira followed, but they started to fall behind, Ken exclaimed over the wind blowing in his face. “Raze, slow down! You’re going to fast!” He shouted. Raze realized it quickly and slowed down a bit. “Sorry bout that!” Approaching the surprisingly flat surface of a destroyed mountaintop, the trio of saiyans landed gracefully on top of the rock. Looking around, there was nothing but chunks of boulders, debris, and pebbles within a quite a few meter radius. Also known as, perfect training place! “So, would you like to warm up, or just go straight into the gravity chamber?” He asked the Twins. Discord teleported in just behind him while being completely invisible to the Twins. “You know, it’s rude to leave me behind like that. Not everyone is a Super Saiyan you know.” ‘But nobody was a super saiyan and I figured you were just being silent.’ Raze finished the thought realizing that Kira was trying to say something to him. “Raze-sensei, hello! Are you even listening!?” Kira exclaimed, a pout on her little face. “Ummm! Disco-! I mean, yeah! What were you saying, Kira?!” Raze asked her. Kira stomped her food in agitation, “Ugh! You weren’t listening at all!” Ken scratched the back of his head, “What Kira said was the start in gravity chamber cause… School… “ Ken said, “But I say we take our time!” He exclaimed. “Okay! Sure!” Raze clicked the top of the capsule and threw into the middle of the clearing. ~One loud boom and large cloud of smoke later~ “And there we are!” Raze concluded while walking up to the chamber’s front door itself. Ken walked up as well, following Raze into the gravity chapter, Kira coming soon after as she finished the remaining cereal within the box she was carrying. Kira ran up to Raze and asked a simple question. “Is there a trash can in here?” She questioned, holding up the empty box. “Think there is, but just blast it instead. Much easier.” Ken suggested. “Well, that’s not how your suppose to get rid of it.” Kira replied. Raze smiled, “Can I blast it?!” Kira threw it at Ken, who caught it. “Fine, I don’t care anymore.” Kira answered him. Ken chuckled, and threw it into the air, and blasted it into dust particles with a simple Ki technique. “There, problem solved!” Ken stated. ‘I could have made it into candy or something...’ Discord sighed dejectedly. ‘Box candy doesn’t sound good at all, besides you’re going to be watching us train for once!’ Raze exclaimed to him. Raze needed to pay more attention to the two twins, because being part human gives you utmost curiosity, and sometimes, impatience. Ken was both, as he had walked dangerously close to the gravity controls and was inspecting the buttons. Kira behind him with a worried, yet curious expression on her face. “Don’t think you should press that.” Kira said. “Raze pressed it last time, so it does the same thing right?” Ken said. Discord smiled, ‘I suppose that’s one incentive to be here. Though I wonder how well off you’ll be since you’re technically the same age as them.’ “Just because I turned back into a kid doesn’t mean my power was reduced or anything. That would really be stupid if somebody thought that turning back into a kid means you lost your abilities.” Raze turned to an invisible screen looking at whatever invisible people may be staring back. Discord coughed awkwardly to get the point across, ‘Yeah, that would be dumb.’ Discord quickly used magic to hide his thoughts from Raze, ‘Note to self: Cancel Dragon Ball; God Tier my horrible fanfic.’ *click* The voice of the computer came through, “Now activating five hundred times normal gravity.” A great deal of pressure came down abruptly upon Raze’s smaller body. Raze felt it all at once as his legs buckled and he hit the floor. Ken and Kira didn’t fair much better, both of them lying on the floor as they struggled to get up. They both raised their Ki’s to their highest levels, but it still wasn’t enough. Raze felt around while raising his power. He found purchase finally as he gripped the floor and began to try pushing himself up. His power raised until his he finally decided to just go super saiyan. “HAAAAA!” A loud yell was heard as Raze transformed and finally was able to stand up on his own. He took heavy steps over to the middle of the room began to turn down the gravity to a much more manageable level of five. The pressure alleviated from the area and Raze could safely let go of his transformation. “You know, you two should be more careful. I hope that you don’t have any broken bones from this.” Raze said to them both with a disappointed frown on his face. “I hurt everywhere.” Kira stated simply and to the point. “I think all my muscles are torn…” Ken fared better. “Dad says I tore a lot of my muscles too… He’s healing them though…” He trailed off, struggling to sit up at least. Raze let go of his frown and turned the chamber down to normal gravity, “Let me get a senzu bean.” “A what? A bean?” Kira questioned. “I don’t know… I think dad mentioned something about it…” Ken answered. Raze threw down the capsule for the fridge and went inside it immediately. “Ah! Here we go!” Raze took out the small bag and then got a small bean out. He tossed it to Kira, “Here you go and Ken you’ll be fine if we wait a few minutes.” Kira placed the bean in her mouth, chewed and swallowed. Suddenly, her Ki spiked to a higher limit than before, though not by much, and her muscles rejuvenated themselves within seconds. She was shocked, “I, wha, how? It’s like super magic!” The little girl exclaimed as the reason for how it could heal her that fast. “Well, it might be magic. All I know is that we get a supply of these form a little known seller on Earth. My Dad knows him well or something. Says the company's namesake was “Bean Daddy”.” Raze finished while scratching his head. Discord chuckled lightly, ‘Now that is funny!’ Ken’s facial expression shifted a bit as the Z-fighter within him began laughing like no tomorrow. He stood up, his muscles still sore, but healing nicely.”So, what we going to train today?” Kira corrected him, “You mean, what are we going to learn today?” “What sis said.” Ken replied, pointing at his twin. “I’m just hoping you’ll get a bit stronger from this exercise. Unless you wanna learn something from me. Just ask.” Raze said to them both. “Exercise?” The twins said in confusion. “What kind of exercise? You mean the same one with the gravity stuff?” Ken questioned. “Yeah, something like that!” Raze said while turning up the gravity, but not activating the new weight. Ken groaned a bit in pain, his muscles still aching a little. “So what is it, Raze-sensei?” “Just get ready, it’ll be like normal training, but with added help.” Raze said while typing some new commands in. “And that should be it.” Several holes opened at the top of the chamber and drones began to fly out of the top. Floating around the three children were about ten of them. They focused in on their targets and gained knowledge based on the power they could sense. “These are your new partners besides me. Now you have more to worry about! Trust me on that.” Raze finished with a smile. Kira looked to Raze, “Raze-sensei, you trapped these poor creatures in your ship all the time?!” she yelled in concern, pointing at the drones. “What are they?” Ken questioned. “They’re not creatures of any sort, they’re training assistants. They use your own energy against you, so you won’t just be worrying about me. You’ll have to keep moving whether you want to or not.” Raze said to them with a smirk. Ken knew that smirk, “Uh oh.” Kira tilted her head, “You kinda look like Ken when’s he’s about to attack really fast, and really hard.” Raze nodded as the drones moved into position and Raze put his finger over the button that would activate the gravity, “Get ready!” He clicked it down and the air became heavier. Raze fired a weakened blast at one of the drones and it began to pass the ball around to the other drones. The blast went past Ken who barely stepped to the side to avoid it. Then it came back around making Kira avoid it. Both of the Twins were now separated as the blast moved in and out around them. Ken retaliated, firing his own Ki blast right at the other one. But a drone appeared between the two, and redirected both of the Ki attacks. “Yikes!” Ken shouted as he fell to the floor on his arms, the Ki blast passing overhead. Ken backflipped himself up to standing position only to bend backward to avoid the redirected Ki attack of Raze’s. Kira rolled to the side, and then leapt back. She then cartwheeled forward, before her face at a image of realization. After avoiding being blasted on both her face and rump, she leapt up toward one of the drones to deliver a kick to its weird eyeball thing. It flew back to avoid her attack as another ki blast was thrown into the mix by Raze and caught by the same drone. It flew directly at Kira and made a mini explosion as she was blown backward to the floor. “Expect the unexpected!” Raze yelled to her. Kira looked to Raze, and surprisingly just launched a Ki blast toward his direction. Yet another drone flew down to catch her attack and sent it back at her. But it seemed the little girl was expected that, she ran back to the wall as the Ki blast approached her, then she dodged it, and used the resulting explosion’s boost of momentum to launch herself faster at one of the drones. He smashed her fist right into its eyeball, causing it to be sent flying back. Kira landed, shaking her fist in pain, “Ow, ow, ow, ow! Those things are hard!” Her twin brother on the other hand, separated across the ship from his sister, had his own problems. Three continuously rotating blast kept trying to land a direct him on his small form, the hybrid ducked, dodged, and weaved his way barely avoiding them. Unfortunately, Ken did not process the same luck his sister did. Ken crossed his arms protectively in front of him just in time as three consecutive Ki blast impacted, exploding outward and sending Ken skidding across the tile flooring. His clothes somewhat scorched, and his body aching, Ken somehow managed to stand back up into fighting position. Kira tried to slam her fist against another drone, but failed miserably. She fell face first on the tiled ground as a Ki blast knocked her down, She sat back up, her hands holding her nose.” “Ouch, my nose.” Kira said, rubbing her nose. She got back up, her aura appearing around her as she amazingly jumped high to avoid another blast that bounced off the ground and back to the drones. She managed to grab a drone, and used it as a shield to block a blast. Before she mustered all her strength, and slammed the drone into another, then crushing both against the floor. “Ugh, stupid things!” she heard the voice of her twin yell, whom’s power level rose with his emotions and he effortlessly flew toward two of them, grasped them, then proceeded to crush both between his hands. Then Ken’s power level returned to his normal limits. Raze frowned, “I’m going to lose em all…” Now having enough breather from the drones, Ken and Kira managed to join back together. Then proceeded to confuse the drones’ targeting systems with their coordination of following each other’s movements. With this, they started to destroy one drone after another before all of them were piles of scrap metal. They fell to their rumps, breathing heavily. Kira looked to Raze saying, “Did we… Do… Good?” she said in between breaths. “You did surprisingly very well. I’m impressed! I mean… Now my ship has to make more drones anyway…” Raze trailed off while looking at the scrap metal lying around. Apparently the twins noticed they missed one, unknowingly, they didn’t know someone was in the way. They stood up, and raised their hands toward the drone, and fired two Ki waves toward it as quickly as they could. Discord floated in front of the drone with a confused look, ‘It can actually sense me even while invisible? Strange…” He moved his bear paw up and down while watching the eye on the drone move in time with it. Raze saw Discord and his eyes widened in shock, ‘MOVE YOU IDIOT!’ Discord’s reaction was delayed of course, “Wha- AAGGGGHHH!” A large light filled the air as sparks rained down from the back of Discord. His form now no longer translucent and he looked extremely pained, awkwardly confused, with a pinch of stupidity alighting his face, “What in the world?! You can’t just attack someones back like that… tha…” He saw the Twins looking at him. “Ohhh…. They… Can… See... Me...” Discord finished awkwardly as he looked at the wide eyed twins. Kira’s following reaction came first two seconds after some more silence. She screamed. Loud. Very loud. And hid behind her twin brother as she kept screaming. Raze had no reaction to that. In fact, it was very tough to believe what was actually going on at the moment. Discord was very much behind him there. Ken’s face went into that of shock, a bit of fear, and then pure rage. His body’s stance shifting into that of a protective position in front of his twin as his eyes and hair were already shifting into a super saiyan state. Then, promptly, the golden aura burst around him in a showcase of power as he yelled. “Die Discord! You won’t harm Kira anymore!” He yelled in hatred, his hands releasing a pent up wave of Ki toward Discord. Discord disappeared with a snap of his talons and then appeared beside Raze. “What in the world are they doing?!” He asked him. “Uhhhh…” Raze was about to just try to hide at this moment. Ken caught wing of Discord’s energy signature, his body circling around Kira to stay in front of her as his arms were outstretched. Before he started shooting a barrage of Ki blasts toward the Spirit of Chaos regardless of Raze’s position. Raze reacted quickly enough to dive out of the way as the Spirit of Chaos realized his cloak couldn’t possibly work if he still revealed his power. So, he dropped it and instead went for a magical shield. The attacks exploded around the expanse of the shield, but Discord was safe from the barrage. Raze had his fill of the moment and turned super saiyan himself. He quickly flew at Ken with the intent of knocking him out, “Just stop real quick, Ken! No way in hell am I going to get another one of these anytime soon!” He flew to the side of Ken and prepared to finish off the twin quickly. Unfortunately, Ken noticed Raze’s attempt to stop him from attacking Discord. His mind and instincts set on protecting his twin sister, Ken’s power level unleashed itself into a whole new ball game as his hybrid potential gave him enough strength to not only spin around in time, but land a solid fist right into Raze’s stomach. Then Ken backflipped, the heel of his foot impacting with Raze’s chin before Ken leapt from him and toward Discord’s position. “Okay! End Game!” Discord snapped his fingers and a large magical cage appeared around Ken. It hit the ground with a resounding slam rather than stay afloat with the super saiyan still inside. Discord kept the glowing magic at maximum strength while watching Ken stand up and prepare for another attack. Raze got up slowly with a hand on his gut. ‘Why is my body so soft?’ “Ken!” Kira screamed, but she didn’t move, the expression of fear laced on her face. The hybrid child got up, and slammed his fist on the bars, only to retract them as he hissed in pain, the fingers of his fist a bit bruised. Ken glared at Discord with hate, “When I get out of here I’m going to punch your head across all of Equestria!” He yelled, where he proceeded to strike at the cage repeatedly again and again despite his hands becoming raw. “You’re wasting your time, Ken. And this is timeout anyway. Penalty for striking me when I wasn’t ready and all that jazz.” Discord finished while sitting in the air. Ken grasped the handle bars, his muscles straining themselves to their limits as Ken tried to break the bars apart. His teeth clenching against one another as Ken pulled and pulled. “I. Made. A. Promise.” Ken said to himself, his aura flaring out wildly. A small screeching sound was heard from the bars before suddenly, Ken’s Ki dropped like a bird, falling to his knees in utter exhaustion. Raze walked over to the cage. “What the hell did you do to him, Discord?!” “Me?! He’s the one who attacked first, I just trapped him there!” Discord retorted back. “Why don’t you just let him out then?!” Raze yelled back. “Because he’ll probably just do it again! Besides, I have to get out of here. Who knows what the princesses of this world do to Discords like me.” Discord stated to him. “But isn’t the other Discord a statue?” Raze asked him. “Who knows! Oh… Yeah, I visited him. Oh, Ken! He has a message for you. He wants to rend the flesh from your bones. Whatever that means.” Discord said offhandedly. Ken got up against the bars, his eyes still having hate as he put his hand outside the cage and fired a Ki blast at the Spirit of Chaos. “OUCH! No more bars, just a solid glass like thing with holes in the top!” He snapped his talons and the cage formed into a much better prison. “There we go.” Discord said while Raze smacked a hand against his forehead. “Lyra’s going to kill us. Or you…” Raze finished while tapping his skull against Ken’s cage. Ken expression of hate soon began to waver, knocking his fist against the glass with whatever strength he had left. After a few more seconds, the boy began to look more scared than anything. His eyes watering as he desperately tried to somehow escape the cage with more reason than before. Kira ran up to the cage, and started bashing her fist against it. “Let Ken go! Let him go! Please!” Kira began to beg, her face full of concern. “No, he attacked me first. He can stay in timeout! I’m through with sentiment at this point.” Discord said pointedly while turning away from said cage. Raze sighed, “Scratch that. Chris is going to kill us for real…” Ken stopped his efforts to escape, and instead opted to go into a fetal position as he clutched himself tightly. His eyes distant and tearful… Then… Then his eyes weren’t his own. If it was possible, his eyes held more hate than they did before hand. And it wasn’t Ken’s Ki signature that rose within that cage. “Oh come on. This is overdramatic. This isn’t even a threatening kind of cage. It has sunshine and lollipops as decorations. Seriously, you’re part saiyan in there.” Discord said to the boy who couldn’t hear him. Ken stood up, raising his fist before he slammed it, no, more like punched through the glass. Before it shattered, and he exited out of it, then collapsed and began to cry like a child once again. Kira rushing to his side as she hugged him for dear life. “I’m sorry Ken, I’m sorry! I know you don’t like cages, I’m sorry you were trapped.” Kira apologized again and again. Discord looked at his broken cage and the Ken that was on the floor. “Where did that even come from?! Raze, you know transformations and stuff! What was that?!” Raze shook his head. “I don’t know…” Raze trailed off in his own confusion. “I wanna go home.” Ken cried, “I want mom.” Kira nodded, “Okay.” she said as she helped Ken up. Discord frowned. “I want to go home too, Raze. Do you think that Doctor guy will be finished soon?” “No… But we should probably help them get home faster and then you should probably disappear for a bit.” Raze said to him. Discord nodded and snapped his fingers as they left the gravity chamber behind. They appeared in the backyard rather instantly and then there was no Discord to be seen. Raze felt the wind begin to pick up lightly as Kira stood up to see they were already home. Raze frowned as he was sure to hear about a lot more than he’d ever known about Ken. And that he probably wouldn’t be nearly as trusted as he had been before. All the issues we’re going to get staggeringly much higher than they’d been before, he had that feeling. Raze sighed, “Well, let’s get inside. They’re going to have to hear this.” Raze started walking toward the home with a somber look in his eyes. Once inside, Lyra was on them all in an instant, “You skipped school! You had my twins skip school!” she said in anger at Raze. “Well, it was technically supposed to be training, but… We got carried away…” Raze said quickly. “Training is not more important- Oh my Celestia, Ken, what’s wrong!” Lyra said as she looked at Ken. She ran to his side, and Ken instantly hugged her for dear life. Ken seemed to say things at a intelligible speed that Raze couldn’t possibly have caught, wasn’t sure Lyra caught it all either. “It’s fine, go wash up with your sister. You’re filthy, then I’ll make you a good meal alright?” “Alright…” Ken said as both he and Kira walked upstairs. Raze watched them walk off as he prepared his first question. “What is wrong with him?” “Ken is recovering from Cleithrophobia. He has done this only twice before, so I recognize the symptoms.” Lyra answered him. “And wow you’re not as mad as I thought. I mean I thought that Kira would start screaming about Discord or something for a second there…” Raze trailed off while pulling his own hair. “Discord? I didn’t catch that from Ken, his voice is really hard to hear when he’s experiencing that. Do you even know what Cleithrophobia is?” Lyra questioned with a raise eyebrow, through in her eyes, there was a bit of rage in there. “No, I have no idea what that is. I didn’t take classes on medical stuff, just basic things for that.” Raze said to her. “Take a fear, such as the fear of spiders, then multiply it by a factor depending on past experiences. For Ken, that factor would be a hundred. And then, you have your phobia. Cleithrophobia means a fear of being trapped.” Lyra explained. “That sounds weird. Though… Hmmm…” Raze thought for a second. “Nope, I was thinking of something else.” Raze said while wearing a frown. “Do you know what Ken does when he’s experiencing that phobia? It’s like his body takes control of him, his power increases past anything he’s had done before. I swear, I thought I saw a little red in his eyes. And tell me, what exactly did you do… To warrant that of him!” Lyra said, now came the anger he was expecting. Raze had some choices, tell the truth or lie and watch as Discord get’s discovered anyway when Kira feels up to telling her mother what had happened. He mulled it around for a bit which caused Lyra to intensify her glare. “Uhhh… What if I told you, Hypothetically, Of course. That Discord had trapped him in a cage for blasting his back?” Raze asked her. Outside, the wonderful and beautiful house of the Heartstrings lay perfectly still and peaceful. “WHAT!?” The house seemed to jump right off its hinges before landing back on the the ground, shaking from the aftermath of a mother’s rage. Raze frowned. ‘That was not expected...’ “What do you mean Discord trapped him?! How did he escape?! We got to warn Twilight immediately! Who knows what chaos he could be doing, hundred to thousands of ponies could be dying by the minute!” Lyra exclaimed in worry. Raze sat there silently while she began to gather up a megahorn and all kinds of things up to go outside and begin warning the ponies of town. Raze continued staring at the wall even as she left. “What just happened?!” Raze yelled to nobody. ~End of Chapter~ Author's Note Hope you all enjoyed it.
Malfunctions Make For Interesting Interactions (Redone Chapter)~Journey of Saiyans Chapter 1~ A month has passed since the events that transpired at Canterlot. Twilight and her friends had searched for Raze despite what Celestia had told them to do. They turned up with nothing and one by one they gave up. The last pony to give up was Rainbow Dash who despite being the Element of Loyalty had to abandon the cause anyway. Raze had went west to avoid detection of anypony who may search for him. Discord had shown him to a hidden Desert Spring. Then Discord sealed the area so nopony would be curious about it. For the month Raze had trained in Discords own gravity seal. Discord also made humanoid fighters with power levels equal to Discord and forced Raze to stay out of Super Saiyan while training. Right now a stone plated arena had been risen out of the ground itself by Discord. Discord decided there should be a test of Raze's new found strength. Raze stood in the middle of a stone plated arena as Discord watched from a throne far above Raze. Discord cleared his throat “Here stands the hero Raze!” he was met with a chorus of boos from the audience of clone Discords that sat in the stands “And in the four corners of the arena stand the generic humanoid fighters!” Loud cheers from the millions of Discord clones rang throughout the arena as the Humanoids bowed in appreciation of the crowd. “Are you ready?!” Discord questioned the ecstatic crowd of himself. They cheered in response and Discord exclaimed “BEGIN!” All at once the four humanoids flew towards Raze who just stood there. The first ones fist flew where Raze's head had been just a second before. Raze grabbed a hold of his arm and slammed the humanoid into the ground. Another humanoid opted for a ki attack that exploded the floor from beneath Raze who in a flurry dodged each flying piece of stone. Raze then went in for the kill as his left leg slammed into the humanoid's face. Several bones cracked as the humanoid slammed against stone and crumpled into a small boney cluster. Raze looked over at the last humanoid whom had one other ally. Raze recognized the first one he had smashed into the ground “So your back on your feet, let's see how long you last in the next 2 minutes” with that Raze flew forward and threw several ki waves at the two partners which separated them. One humanoid flew into the smoke created for the explosion hoping to avoid Raze and somehow get the jump on him, but Raze had was waiting for him there “You thought wrong!” Raze's hands flashed forward and caught the humanoid in a Flash Cannon which completely disintegrated the creature. The other humanoid stood it's ground and prepared two big green energy balls in each of it's hands 'He's putting a lot of energy in his hands... I guess I'll show him my own technique!' Raze thought to himself as he put one of his hands into the air. Instantly a ball of ki appeared out of his hand and started to spin to the right really fast. Then out of the middle of the yellow ball of ki a disc began to appear. The disc began to have jagged areas that looked meant for cutting through objects “Check out my Destructo Ball!” Raze exclaimed at the humanoid whom then put his hands together and pulled his ki together. Discord looked from the sidelines and exclaimed “He's taking a pointer from Bojack! It's the Galactic Buster!” Discord then began to chew voraciously on popcorn. The humanoid combined the energy balls and fired it at Raze. Raze moved out of range and then fired the Destructo Ball at the creature. The humanoid looked up and moved out of the way. It then looked at Raze and a piece of it's face fell off. “Hehe! Looks like you just weren't fast enough!” Raze exclaimed as he focused his energy on the Destructo Ball. 'Seperate!' Raze thought as the Spirit Ball detached from the Destructo Disc and then came back for the final blow. The humanoid never expected it as he was hit by the Destructo Disc first. The humanoid's body tore in half and then the Spirit Ball hit the top half of the humanoid causing both halfs to be destroyed in an explosion of ki energy. Discord looked around the stadium and snapped his fingers causing his mic to appear “Raze, A winner is you! Raze's top score is RUNNING RIOT!” Discord exclaimed as he snapped his fingers one last time which made the stadium start to disappear. Raze looked around as the stadium began to disappear “I think you over exaggerated the whole thing Discord.” he said while walking towards Discord. Discord frowned and said “Well, what did you expect? I enjoy entertainment and making a spectacle! It's one of the reasons that I still want to live!” Raze stuffed a hand into his pocket and pulled out a Capsule Corp. Capsule Holder. “I thought that was because you were immortal...” Raze said as he looked in the box for the mini fridge. “Immortality can be boring Raze, but if your me it's impossible to get bored! If your Celestia though, you will always have a stick up your plothole and that's no good!” Discord said as he watched Raze throw the capsule onto the ground. A booming noise could be heard as a Fridge popped up from the capsule. “It's not the mini fridge, but I guess an apple will be just as good.” Raze said as he looked through the fridge. Raze had looked through once and then decided to look a second time 'Did I eat them that fast? Guess it's time to restock' Raze thought as he went through his capsule case and found his Spaceship Capsule. Raze pressed the button and threw it down. A loud booming sound later and a spaceship stood before them. Raze walked inside for a few minutes and then walked back out holding a bag. “Hey Discord! I'm out of apples, so I'm going to get more!” Raze said as he walked past Discord again. “You're going to that apple orchard again?” Discord asked Raze. “Yeah, I am! The apples there are the closest ones to Sweet Apple Acres taste that I can find.” Raze said as he looked up into the sky. A few clouds seemed to have drifted out 'That's odd....' 'What's odd?' Discord asked Raze. “I forgot we could talk using our mind.... But look up!” Raze said as Discord followed his eye's. “It's just a few clouds Raze...” Discord trailed off. “Don't pegasi control the clouds though?” Raze asked Discord whom shrugged. “Pegasi tend to stay away from the weather in areas ponies don't control... Like the Everfree Forest is completely natural! The weather comes and goes as it pleases.” Discord said as he looked back to Raze. “Well, thanks for the answer....” Raze hadn't ever noticed clouds drifting due to the amount of training he did and usually he only left when it was night and he had no reason to look at the sky. “You know, instead of leaving you could always eat one of my conjured apples!” Discord said as he summoned a lot of apples. Raze shook his head “Your apples always end up being candied apples or some weird kind of gummy like thing.” Raze said as he scrunched up his face “They always end up being bland.” Raze finished by sticking out his tongue. “Well, you don't have to eat them! You can admire their red texture.” Discord said as he summoned an apple into his hand. “See? That's what I'm talking about! That apple looks deformed!” Raze exclaimed as he turned to the direction where the apple orchard was that he had found two weeks ago. “You set yourself a standard when you took that first bite of Sweet Apple Acres brand... Right?” Discord said as he glared at Raze. “Yep!” Raze said simply as he launched himself into the air “See ya later Discord!” Discord waved as Raze disappeared into the distance “Now it's time for me time!” Discord looked around to make sure the desert wasn't staring at him and then he snapped his fingers. A shrine appeared with a whole bunch of pictures of Celestia and it was all encompassed by a heart. “Yes, you are the hottest Princess of them all!” Discord said as he made a flower appear out of nowhere 'She loves me, she loves me not, she loves m-' he was cut off by the author. ~Raze flying through the air~ Raze blasted forward at a high speed. The landscape shifted as he flew towards the orchard 'Wow! This land is beautiful even if it's just a desert!' he thought to himself as he passed over stone pillars. The orchard came up over the horizon and Raze was soon flying over it 'I gotta be careful.' Raze landed near the orchard on a rocky overhang. He surveyed the area 'Three workers? Two seem to switch off every week... Then there's the yellow one whom is always here... He must be the owner' Raze stood up and then flew downward towards his prey 'I have to be quick!' Raze thought as he moved to each tree. He slightly hit each one he passed by and then went back through collecting the apples as they fell to the ground. 'Got it!' Raze thought as he caught the last apple. Raze moved as fast as he possibly could to get back to the overhang. He made it to the top and then looked down. He saw a yellow pony looking around with the other two workers looking around the orchard 'Nobody saw me... Perfect! I'll have to pay them all back... Someday...' Raze thought to himself as he turned around and ran towards the end of the overhang. Raze jumped off the side and flew out of sight leaving behind the three ponies to search for the apple thief. A yellow pony with an apple for a cutie mark looked up at where Raze had been previously. This pony's name was Braeburn and he was the owner of the Orchard. He glared at the overhang and then threw his hat onto the ground “The varmint got away!” At the sound of Braeburn's voice the other two ponies stopped their search and went towards the area where Braeburn was. “Don't worry Braeburn! We'll get it eventually!” said one of the farm workers. “I hope that's true Apple Fritter.” Braeburn said as he picked up his hat and the trio of workers left the Orchard for then night. Braeburn took one look back and thought 'Ill get that varmint one day!' before turning back around and finally leaving. ~Discord's Retreat~ Discord sensed something was approaching the retreat he had created 'Better put all of this away.' Discord thought as he snapped his fingers. Instantly his shrine and everything else he made pertaining to it disappeared into thin air. Discord then looked on the horizon and saw Raze approaching. Discord tapped his his talon on his other arm for a few seconds and then Raze touched down in front of him. Raze slid for a few seconds on his feet before coming to a stop “I'm back!” Raze said as he put down the bag and then Raze went over to his ship and fridge. “Well, it seems you were successful in your little trip to the market.” Discord said as he floated over to Raze. “Yeah, but one of them might have saw me.” Raze said as he clicked a button on his fridge after putting a majority of the apples he had into it. He picked up the fridge capsule and put it back in it's case. Raze then went over to the ship and quickly found the button to transform the ship into a capsule. He then picked up that capsule and put it in his case “There we go! All cleaned up and now I can eat!” Raze said as he looked at Discord expectantly. “Here ya go!” Discord said as he snapped his talons and a huge flat stone appeared on the sand. “Thanks Discord!” Raze exclaimed to Discord. “Anytime.” Discord said as he summoned a stone of his own, a lawn chair, and a pair of sunglasses. Unknown to Raze a tracker had been placed on him and though it disappeared when he went inside Discord's barrier it had practically locked on him once he had stopped moving. ~On the TARDIS~ “It's brilliant!” The Doctor exclaimed as he went around the main control panel. He moved levers and pressed buttons with his hoofs as he laughed insanely. “What's going on Doctor?!” Derpy asked as she watched him run around his control panel. “Well did you see that blip on the main screen?” The Doctor asked as he pressed buttons and pulled levers. “Yes, but I always see blips like that on the main screen.” Derpy said as she watched him finally stop at a button. “Well those blips aren't relevant, this however is” he then turned to Derpy “We've found Raze and there's only one way to go now!” He looked at Derpy and then back at his hoof above the last button “Avante!” The TARDIS whirred to life as it homed in on Raze's last location. It then flew into the air and then changed directions going towards the shielded safe haven. ~Raze Eating Apples~ Raze munched on the apples while Discord amused himself by making fountains of chocolate milk. Raze looked over at Discord and said “I don't understand your addiction to chocolate....” “Mah boi! This Chocolate is what all true warriors strive for!” Discord retorted back to Raze. “Touche....” Raze said as a blue box blasted through Discord's shield and over Raze's head “WHAT THE HELL?!” The blue box smashed into the ground before hitting the ground. It slid through the sand for a good 15 seconds before finally stopping at the end of the trail. Discord looked at the box and then back at Raze “That was more random then anything I have ever done before.” he said to Raze whom walked towards the box. 'This is that box the Doctor was in from before, so that must mean....' Raze thought to himself as he approached the box. 'That must mean what?!' Discord questioned Raze. “Tha-” Raze was cut off as a familiar gray pegasus glomped him “RAZE! It's so nice to see you again!” she exclaimed in joy as she crushed him in her arms. Raze returned the hug, but he wasn't nearly as excited as she was about it. Derpy let go of Raze and stood up “Why did you lea-” she was cut off by the Doctor coming out of the TARDIS. “We ended up exactly where I intended!! Except for the burn marks... A little trouble there, but there's nothing this beautiful blue box can't do!” The Doctor said as he hugged the box “Who's my beautiful baby? YOU ARE!! My pretty police b-” he noticed Derpy staring angrily at him “I mean your my pretty.... Derpy?” she rolled her eyes and looked at Raze. “You ready to come home Raze? Everypony misses you a lot!” she exclaimed to Raze as looked away. “I only attract attention to Ponyville and I nearly destroyed Canterlot, I can't let that happen!” he exclaimed as he walked off when the Doctor appeared in front of him. “Raze, you're not the only one whom attracts attention to this world of ponies. The Princesses attract the attention of many potential enemies all the time! Even I attract foes to this world, but I always rise to the occasion and defeat them as quickly and peacefully as possible!” The Doctor said with gusto. “And that's why you gotta come back!” Derpy said as she tried to push the immovable block that was Raze. Raze was starting to see they wouldn't give up. Despite the fact that he had promised himself not to give in to other ponies desire's. He found himself breaking and so he walked forward. “Raze?! Are you seriously about to give in to this little pony?!” Discord asked as he couldn't believe it himself. Raze took another step “I don't think she's going to give up....” Raze said as he took yet another step. Discord rolled his eyes “Well I know you won't force her to quit pushing, so we may as well go...” he flew inside the TARDIS and waited patiently as Raze finally started walking into the box. The Doctor and Derpy trotted in and closed the doors making sure to lock it. The Doctor then trotted over to his control panel and lifted a lever causing the machine to whir to life “I promise you won't regret this Raze! Avante!” he then pressed a button causing the TARDIS to lift itself into the air. The TARDIS then lurched forward and blasted off towards Ponyville. However just before the moving process Derpy had hit a button accidentally. Instead of going towards Ponyville they had hit the time stream instead and now ramifications were in order. ~Meanwhile in a Distant Universe~ “Oh-no! Dialga and Palkia are about to clash!” A trainer yelled at his companions. “Red, you need to get down!” Red, the trainer that had just yelled about the clashing event about to happen nodded and hit the ground. Dialga roared as it charged up energy into a ball in front of his mouth. Palkia charged up power into it's left arm. Green looked and said “This is it!” she was pulled down by Blue and then the attacks were fired. When the attacks hit each other an explosion tore through time and space. ~On the TARDIS~ The TARDIS made high pitched squeals as the energy from that dimension propelled it into another dimension. The Doctor could only say one thing before the TARDIS was hit “Uh-Oh!” Then everything went black. Author's Note This chapter was horrible the first time, but I redid it with more scenes, better dialogue, and some references. Enjoy!
