Dragon Ball Z The Equestria Saga
Chapter 3 - Raian The Boast Buster
Previous ChapterNext Chapter"Come on, you can do it Twilight!" Spike said encouragingly.
"Okay. Here it goes." Twilight said to herself to try and build up some confidence. Her horn lit up with magic and she began to concentrate on her spell. A few moments passed and Twilight's magic intensified and right after that, a mustache appeared on Spike's upper lip.
"Ha Ha! You did it!" Spike yelled excitedly. Raian watched as he check marked something on the board behind him.
"Growing magic! Just wait till Rarity see's this!" Spike then turned towards the mirror and began to twirl his mustache with his fingers.
"Sorry, Romeo. As attractive and enticing as you look, its just for practice. Its gotta go." Twilight said while she went to undo the spell.
"Wait!" Spike said, but his mustache disappeared that next moment.
"Aw." Spike groaned. Twilight then giggled to herself while Raian felt a new power level enter Ponyville.
Raian, Twilight, and Spike were walking down the streets of Ponyville while Spike continued to give Twilight compliments about how good she is at magic.
"I thought unicorns were only supposed to have a little bit of magic that matched their special talents." Spike said while walking up to the front side of Twilight.
"True, like if their special talent was something like cooking, or singing, or math. But what if a unicorns special talent is magic?" Twilight looked down at Spike while Raian saw two small colt's running down the street.
"That's you, Twilight! And you know tons of magic." Spike complimented.
"Oh, Spike. I'm sure there are plenty of unicorns right here in Ponyville that know just as much as me." Twilight said while taking a small look around.
"Are you kidding? I don't think there's another unicorn in Equestria with your kind of ability, Twilight!" Spike said while Raian got the urge to scream the word dodge.
"Gain way!" a masculine voice called out. The three looked down the street to see two young colts. One was small and blueish in color and the other was tall and orange in color. The smaller one ran head first into Spike and he didn't slow down in the slightest.
"Snips! Snails! What's going on!?" Spike asked. The two colts stopped and Spike was thrown off of the smaller ones head.
"Haven't you heard? There's a new unicorn in town!" said the taller one.
"Yeah! They say that she's more powerful than any other unicorn in Equestria!" said the smaller one.
"Really?" Twilight asked. Raian walked up and was really wanting to scream dodge at Spike.
"No way. That title goes to Twilight here!" Spike said while motioning at Twilight. Twilight blushed a bit at the comment but decided to ask where this all powerful unicorn was.
"Where is this unicorn?" Twilight asked.
"She's in the town's square! Come on!" Snails said as he jumped over Spike's head and ran to Ponyville's town square.
"Yeah! Come on!" said Snips and he ran after Snails. Twilight and Spike looked at each other, then to Raian, then ran after them.
"Something tells me that I'll need to reveal my true power by the end of this." Raian said to himself and he began to walk to the town's square.
When Raian got there, he saw a large crowd of ponies standing in front of a caravan. He saw a tree over to the right side of the crowd and he went to it a leaned up against it. He felt that he needed to wait for the right moment before he needed to reveal himself to all of the ponies. He thought this since he made every one of them panic the last time.
"Come one! Come all! Come and witness the amazing magic of... the Great and Powerful Trixie!" came a voice from the caravan. Raian watched as the caravan opened up into a stage and fire works shot out of it. Then, in a puff of smoke, a light blue unicorn was revealed, wearing a matching cape and hat.
"Watch in awe, as the Great and Powerful Trixie perform's some of the greatest magic ever witnessed!"
"My my my, such boasting." Rarity said annoyed. Raian could hear her and he decided to listen in on what Twilight and her friends were saying.
"Come on. No ponies as magical as Twilight." Spike said before noticing Rarity standing next to him.
"There's nothing wrong with being talented is there?" Twilight asked with uncertainty.
"Nothing at all. Except when someone is going off showing it around like some school filly with a fancy new dress." Applejack answered.
"Just because someone has the ability to do lots of magic does not make one better than the rest of us." Rarity added.
"Yeah! Especially when you got me around being better than the rest of us!" Rainbow added which made Raian chuckle a bit.
"She really thinks highly of herself, doesn't she?" Raian said to himself.
"Uh, yeah! Magic shmagic! Boo!" Rainbow said hesitantly as she was just being stared down by Applejack.
"Well, well, well. It seems we have some neigh sayers in the audience! Who would be so foolish as to challenge the Great and Powerful Trixie!? Do you not know that you are in the presence of the most powerful unicorn in Equestria!?" Trixie said arrogantly.
"Just who does she think she is?" Rarity asked.
"Yeah! Since we all know that Twilight here is-"
"Spike! Shh!" Twilight took Spike and moved him and herself to the back of the crowd.
"What? What's wrong?" Spike asked.
"You see how they reacted to Trixie!? I don't want anyone thinking I'm a show off." Twilight told him. Raian nodded his head a bit in disapproval.
"She's got it all wrong. Trixie is showing off her talents while Twilight is honing her's. Twilight's the better unicorn by default." Raian thought to himself. Trixie did another show of fireworks and she made a pose. Rainbow Dash seemed to have enough and she flew up in Trixie's face.
"So, Great and Powerful Trixie! What makes you think you're so special anyway!?" Rainbow asked.
"Why, only the Great and Powerful Trixie has magic strong enough to vanquish... the dreaded Ursa Major!" Trixie boasted. Raian watched more fireworks shoot off into the sky and form a bear like creature.
"When all hope was lost, the ponies of Hoofington had no one to turn to. But then, the Great and Powerful Trixie stepped in and with her awesome magic, she vanquished the dreaded Ursa Major and sent it back to its cave, deep within the Everfree Forest!" Trixie boasted as a light show played above her.
"Sweet!" Snips ans Snails said in unison.
"Trixie really is the most powerful, most awesome, most talented unicorn in Ponyville!" Snails said while raising a hoof to Trixie.
"No. All of Equestria!" Snips added.
"How do you know!? You've never seen her actually-" Spike was cut off when Twilight used her magic to put a zipper on his mouth. Trixie laughed a bit before continuing.
"Its true my enthusiastic admirers! Trixie is most certainly the best in Ponyville!" Trixie got nothing but silence in return
"Don't believe the Great and Powerful Trixie!? Well, I challenge you, Ponyvillians. Anything you can do, I can do better. Any takers? Anyone? Or is Trixie destined to be the most powerful equine in all of Equestrian history!?" Trixie continued to boast. Spike unzipped the zipper on his mouth and proceeded to beg to Twilight.
"Please! You've just gotta show her! You just gotta!" Spike pleaded.
"There's no way I'm going to use my magic now Spike. Especially since... wait. Raian! That's it! We can get Raian to show her up!" Twilight remembered what she and her friends saw Raian do against Nightmare Moon back at the Everfree Ruins. They were the only ones that knew of his power since he has only showed it around them so far. That reason being that Raian trains alone and away from other people, or ponies in this case. She looked behind her but didn't see Raian anywhere.
"Hmm, how about... you!" Trixie pointed a hoof at Twilight which made her plan to have Raian upstage the arrogant mare leave her mind.
"So how about it? Is there anything you can do, that the Great and Powerful Trixie can't!?" Trixie continued. Twilight tried to remember what she was going to do, but it never came to her. Twilight tried to form some words, but was interrupted by Trixie.
"Well? Little hayseed?" Trixie mocked.
"That's it! I can't stand for no more of this!" Applejack then walked up onto the stage.
"Yeah! You show her, AJ!" Spike commented.
"Can your magical powers do this!?" Applejack asked before pulling out a rope. She tied the rope to her tail and made a ring at the other end and she swung the rope in a circle around her. She jumped through the ring of the rope several times before sending the rope over to a nearby apple tree, plucking an apple off of it, and catching it in her mouth. She ate the apple and the crowd of ponies cheered for her.
"Top that, missy!" Applejack challenged.
"Oh yee of little talent. Watch and be amazed by the magic of Trixie!" Trixie said while levitating her hat off her head. She used her magic to grab the rope Applejack just used and she moved it in front of Applejack like a snake. Applejack got hypnotized by the rope and Trixie proceeded to take an apple off a tree with the other end of the rope. Trixie then hog tied Applejack with one end of the rope and put the apple in her mouth with the other end. The crowd laughed as Applejack had to bounce off the stage.
"Once again, the Great and Powerful Trixie prevails." Trixie boasted.
"There's no need to go around showing off like that!" Rainbow Dash flew in Trixie's face again.
"Oh?" Trixie said amused.
"That's my job." Rainbow Dash then took off towards a windmill and she flew in circles around it a few times which made the windmill spin. She then took off and proceeded to fly through some clouds. She stopped in front of the sun for dramatic affect, then flew back through the clouds, making water trail behind her. She then flew around the windmill two more times before flying back over to Trixie's stage and stopping. The water following her hit her and created a rainbow over her head.
"They don't call me Rainbow, and Dash, for nothing!" Rainbow Dash boasted.
"Hmm, not bad. But I could have done that much faster than she could of." Raian thought to himself.
"When Trixie is through with you, the only thing they'll be calling you is loser!" Trixie said in a matter of fact tone. She then used her magic to manipulate the rainbow above Rainbow Dash's head and she made the rainbow start spinning around her. It went fast enough to where it made Rainbow Dash spin with it and she was thrown up into the air. She remained airborne for a bit but was soon put onto the ground. She spun for a little bit but eventually stopped.
"I think I'm... gonna be sick." Rainbow Dash said as her eyes spinned.
"Seem's like anyone with a dash of good sense, will think twice before challenging the Great Trixie!" Trixie said as she used her magic to form a thunder cloud. She zapped Rainbow Dash with it which made her let out a loud yelp. The crowd laughed at Rainbow Dash for a bit before stopping to watch Trixie again.
"What we need is another unicorn! Someone with some magic of her own!" Spike said while poking Twilight with his elbow.
"Yeah! A unicorn to show this unicorn who's boss!" Rainbow added.
"A real unicorn to unicorn tussle!" Applejack agreed. Twilight tried to find the words again but Rarity stepped in.
"Enough! Enough all of you! I take your hint. But Rarity is above such nonsense. Rainbow Dash and Applejack may behave like ruffians, but Rarity conducts herself with beauty and grace." Rarity said confidently.
"Ooh what's the matter? Afraid you'll get a hair out of place in that rats nest you call a mane!?" Trixie mocked.
"Oh, it is on!" Rarity said angrily and she climbed onto the stage. "You may think your tough with all of your so called powers, but there is more to magic than your brutish ways. A unicorn needs to be more than just muscle." Rarity used her magic and she took off the curtain hanging from the stage and she spun it around herself. The curtain stopped spinning and Rarity was wearing a blue dress and her hair was different
"A unicorn needs to have style! A unicorns not a unicorn without grace and beauty." Rarity continued.
"Rarity won't let Trixie get the best of her! She's strong. She's beautiful. She's-" Spike got cut off when Trixie used her magic to change Rarity's hair. The entire crowd gasped at the sight.
"Quick! Get me a mirror! I need a mirror! What did she do to my hair!? I know she did something terrible to my hair!" Rarity panicked a bit as she looked at her friends.
"Nothing." Twilight said quickly.
"Its fine!" Rainbow said just as fast.
"Its gorgeous!" Applejack continued.
"Its green." Spike finished. Twilight, Applejack and Rainbow Dash gave him angry glares.
"What?" Spike asked.
"No! Green hair! Not green hair! Such an awful, awful color!" Rarity yelled while she ran back to her boutique.
"Well! I never!" said a mare that happened to have green hair.
"Well Twilight. I guess its up to you. Come on, show her what you've got." Spike encouraged Twilight.
"Uh, what do you mean? I'm nothing special." Twilight said as she still tried to remember the plan she thought up a while ago.
"Yes you are! You're better than her!" said Spike.
"I'm not better than anyone!" Twilight tried to get the attention off of her.
"You think you're better than the Great and Powerful Trixie!? You think you have more magical talent!? Well come on! Show Trixie what you've got! Show us all." Trixie challenged.
"Who, me? I'm just your average, everyday unicorn. No powerful magic here." Twilight said as she looked around.
"I think I hear my laundry calling. Sorry, gotta go." Twilight then ran off towards the library.
"Twilight?" Spike said confused.
"Once again, the Great and Powerful Trixie has proven herself to be the most amazing unicorn in Equestria! Was there ever any doubt?" Trixie said as she began to walk back into her caravan.
"Wait just a minute!" a masculine voice called out. Everyone stopped what they were doing and they looked towards the direction of the voice. They all gasped and started the whisper to each other when they saw Raian standing about ten feet away from the stage. Twilight saw Raian and let out a sigh of relief before running back over to the front of the crowd.
"I'm not going to sit here and let you make a fool of everyone. If you want to challenge somebody, you challenge me!" Raian said confidently.
"Oh? What can a hairless gorilla do that the Great and Powerful Trixie can't?" Trixie mocked. Raian then warped onto the stage, shocking the crowd of ponies.
"Wow! How'd he do that!?" One mare asked.
"So, you can teleport. That's easy." Trixie continued. Raian then turned towards the crowd and began to charge up his ki. His blue flame aura surrounded him and he began to yell. Everyone watching, including Trixie were awestruck as they watched Raian power up to his Super Saiyan form. After a few more seconds of charging up, Raian let out a loud yell and in a bright flash of golden light, Raian transformed into his Super Saiyan form. Raian stood before Trixie and the audience in his Super Saiyan form with a serious expression on his face.
"This is just my Super Saiyan form! I can take it one step further!" Raian said seriously.
"Another?" Another mare said out loud. Raian then began to charge up again. This time, his power was so great that it was shaking half the planet. Raian let out a scream much louder than his previous one and in another bright flash of golden light, Raian transformed into his Super Saiyan 2 form. Raian's hair changed slightly and he had electric sparks flashing around him. Over at the castle in Canterlot, Celestia and Luna felt Raian's power sky rocket. Raian then turned his gaze towards the sky and he prepared to do the Super Kamehameha.
"Ka... Me... Ha... Me!" Raian yelled as a light blue ki ball formed in between his hands.
"Haaaaaa!" Raian yelled and he fired the Super Kamehameha at the sky. A large, light blue ki wave that had electric sparks flashing around it traveled at high speeds and it was visible all the way from Canterlot. The Super Kamehameha traveled into space before fading and Raian got back into a normal standing position before returning to his normal form. He saw everyone staring at him with their mouth's hanging open.
"Top that." Raian said simply. Trixie was sweating and she tried to think of something that could top Raian's Super Kamehameha.
"Um... I, uh." Trixie stuttered. She then lost her cool and ran off. The crowd of ponies laughed at Trixie as she did. They all then began to congratulate Raian while at the same time whispering comments to each other.
"He's cool!" a mint coated unicorn mare said to the tan coated mare next to her.
"He's handsome!" the tan mare said back. Raian managed to overhear those two comments made about him. He then hopped off the stage and headed towards Twilight and her friends.
"Raian, that was amazing!" Twilight said excitedly.
"Yeah! That was the coolest thing ever!" Rainbow Dash added.
"What exactly was that? And what was it supposed to do?" Applejack asked. Raian looked at her seriously.
"That was the Kamehameha. A very powerful attack. That attack was strong enough to destroy this entire planet." Raian responded. Twilight and her friends looked at Raian as if he was a ghost.
"Don't worry, I don't plan on destroying your home. I just came here so I could fight this planet's strongest fighters." Raian told them.
"Wait. Does that mean you'll be leaving soon?" Twilight asked.
"I'm not sure yet." Raian said simply.
"Well, I sure hope you ain't leaving! I'd like to see those big muscles in action down at the farm!" Applejack said as she tried to imagine what Raian would look like without his shirts on, kicking at some apple trees.
"Yeah. It'd be nice to have a guy friend around for a change." Rainbow Dash added.
"What about Spike?" Twilight asked.
"Oh, well. I would hang out with him more. But its just that he can't fly while Raian here can." Rainbow admitted.
"Oh." Twilight didn't know why she didn't think of that first.
"Anyway. Now that that bragger is gone, what should we all do now?" Applejack asked her friends.
"We could go help Rarity fix her hair real quick." Twilight suggested.
"Yeah, I think we should. She wouldn't come outside for days if we left her like that." Rainbow Dash said in a matter of fact tone. Twilight, Rainbow Dash and Applejack all headed off to Rarity's boutique while Raian and Spike stayed behind. Raian began to walk over to an empty field since he hasn't trained today. Spike ran to catch up with him.
"Uh, Raian?" Spike asked while looking up at him nervously and tugging on his pants.
"Yeah?" Raian responded.
"Can you teach me how to fly?" Spike asked. Raian remained silent for a moment before responding.
"Sure. But why?" Raian asked.
"Well, I just wanted to learn how to fly so I could be as cool as you." Spike said truthfully.
"Spike, being cool has nothing to do with me being a Saiyan and having great amounts of power. But because of what is on the inside that made me who I am today." Raian told Spike.
"Yeah, but still. It would at least get Rarity to notice me." Spike said understandingly.
"Hmm. Alright, I'll teach you. By the time I'm done training you, Rarity will be all over you." Raian told him.
"Really?" Spike asked.
"Yeah." Raian said simply.
Raian and Spike got to the empty field and Raian stopped. Spike walked forward a bit and turned around to see Raian already throwing punches and kicks at the air. Spike was amazed by how fast Raian was, he made it look like a walk in the park rather than hard training. Raian stopped his attacks and he turned to Spike.
"Before we do anything, I need to teach you about Ki." Raian told Spike who nodded in response. Raian then put up his right hand and turned it towards the sky. He then generated a blue flame ki ball from his right hand.
"Ki is the energy within someone that they can manipulate and turn into something physical, like I'm showing you now. In order to use Ki, you need to feel it first. It should be somewhere in your midsection." Raian told Spike. He nodded again and he began to try and feel out his ki. He searched for a while but couldn't find anything. Spike looked a little sad.
"Hey, don't worry. It takes a while." Raian said which cheered Spike up a bit.
"Now try again." Raian said and Spike did as he said. This time, Spike could feel a slight warmth in his midsection. Spike's eyes widened and he looked at Raian in shock.
"See, you got it. Now, try to move it to your hands." Spike did as Raian said and he began to try and push his ki to his hands. It took him a while but he eventually got it.
"Now push it out." Spike did so and he eventually made a green ki ball form in between his hands.
"Good job, Spike! No one really gets it on their first try!" Raian said happily.
"This is awesome!" Spike said excitedly. Spike's and Raian's ki faded and Raian began to teach Spike how to fly. He made a representation by floating a foot above the ground.
"All you have to do is push your ki below you and it will make you fly like I am now." Raian told Spike. Spike nodded and he gave it a try. It took him until night to get himself off the ground.
Trixie walked through the Everfree Forest at night in search of the Ursa Major. She wanted to lure it out into town and prove that she was the greatest unicorn in all of Equestria.
"That stupid kid! Just who does he think he is trying to tussle with the Great and Powerful Trixie!?" Trixie said as she entered the cave of the Ursa Major.
"I'll teach him to mess with me!" Trixie continued. It started to get dark in the cave, so Trixie lit up her horn with a glowing magic so she could see. When it lit up, there was a very large, blue bear like creature sleeping right next to her. It woke up upon the light shining through its eye lids and it got up. It looked at Trixie angrily and let out a loud roar. Trixie screamed and she ran out of the cave as fast as she could with the Ursa Major following behind her.
Trixie got back to Ponyville with the Ursa Major still hot on her tail. She stopped herself real quick and used her magic to make a very bright light appear from her horn and it blinded the Ursa Major. Trixie looked for somewhere to hide and she hid in one of the alleyways. When the Ursa Major's vision returned, it looked for Trixie while growling a ferocious growl. As it searched, Twilight and her friends were out looking for Raian and Spike and when they turned the corner, they all immediately went back behind it.
"Oh my gosh! An Ursa Major!" Pinkie said in a high and frightened whisper.
"Did you see the size of that thing!" Rainbow Dash said just as loud.
"Yeah! That thing was big enough to crush the whole barn!" Applejack commented.
"Don't mind that know, girls! We gotta do something about it before it destroys all of Ponyville!" Twilight said while thinking up a plan to lure the Ursa Major out of town.
"Alright, we need to lure him back into the Everfree Forest. Rainbow Dash, are you up to it!?" Twilight asked while looking at the Ursa Major from behind building.
"Yeah! I can do this all by myself!" Rainbow Dash then took off and she began to fly around the Ursa Major's face to get his attention. It started to follow her back into the Everfree Forest, but stopped when it caught site of Trixie. It let out another roar and it started going after the arrogant mare that decided to wake an Ursa Major from its nap. Trixie screamed and ran out of the alley way and further into town with the Ursa Major still following behind her.
"We need to save Trixie!" Twilight said as she and her friends ran after the Ursa. Twilight and Rainbow Dash tried to distract it, but to no avail. Trixie eventually ran into a dead end and she turned around to see the Ursa Major slowly approaching her. It came close and was opening its mouth to eat her. Trixie screamed as the Ursa Major's mouth came closer to her. She shut her eyes and right when she thought she was a goner, nothing happened. Trixie opened her eyes to see Raian had kicked the Ursa Major over onto its side.
"Trixie! Twilight! All of you! Get out of here, now! I'll take care of this!" Raian yelled, looking at all of them. They all did as Raian said and he turned his attention back to the Ursa.
"Alright. Time to show Celestia and Luna my real power!" Raian said confidently. He then charged up his ki to his max power and he charged the Ursa Major after it stood back up. It saw Raian coming and it swung a paw at him. Raian successfully dodged it and countered with a hard punch to the Ursa's nose. There was a loud cracking noise when Raian's fist made contact and the Ursa screamed loudly in pain. Blood poured from its nose and its vision began to blur a bit. Raian took this opportunity to charge up an energy wave. Raian charged it for about five seconds before firing it at the Ursa. The beam pierced through the Ursa Major's chest and it fell onto its back, slowly dying from its blood draining out of its body.
"Its finished." Raian said as he powered down. Twilight and her friends could hardly believe what they just saw. Raian took down an Ursa Major in one swift motion. They watched as Raian went up to the Ursa Major, put his hand on it, then warp him and the Ursa out of Ponyville. Raian came back a second later and he turned to Twilight and the others to see them staring at him with wide eyes. Fluttershy though was on the verge of tears from seeing such acts of violence. Rarity came over and tried to comfort her though.
"Fluttershy, don't worry yourself. If Raian didn't come when he did, somepony could of really gotten hurt, or killed even." Rarity explained.
"Yeah. I guess you're right." Fluttershy said while wiping away some tears. Fluttershy felt something warm touch her shoulder, so she looked up to see Raian sitting on one knee with a comforting smile on his face. Fluttershy looked down at the ground once before closing the distance between herself and Raian and giving him a hug.
"T-Thank you." Fluttershy said softly. Raian smiled and returned the hug.
"Its okay, Fluttershy." Raian said as he stroked her mane comfortingly. Twilight and the others smiled at the scene before them and they joined in on the hug. They hugged for a while then let go and brought their heads back so they could look at Raian better.
"Raian. I should probably tell you this before its too late." Twilight said said softly. Raian looked at her questioningly.
"That beast you killed wasn't and Ursa Major. It was an Ursa Minor, a baby. So you we need to be ready for when the Ursa Major comes looking for its child." Twilight told him. Raian nodded and told her not to worry about it and that he would handle it when that day came. They all then agreed that it would be best if they got a good nights sleep and that they'll see each other in the morning, so they all headed home.
Trixie on the other hand was having plans of revenge on the Raian. How she would do it, she didn't know at the moment. But she knew she would find a way to put herself on his level and teach him not to mess with the Great and Powerful Trixie.
