Yellow Sun: Part 1
Over 2000 years ago, there existed a planet known as Krypton. This planet was the highest form of intelligence in the Galaxy. Its science was so far more advanced than that of any other culture, that if they had ever used it against any other civilization, it would have meant total annihilation for the apposing side. But that wasn't the case, for Kryptonians never felt they needed to go beyond the boundaries of their world, though they were completely capable, they instead decided to keep to themselves and explore the realms of their own world than worlds beyond. That was say except for one scientist Jor-El. He realized that the cosmos was to large for them to simply ignore and he earned to explore it. However, he had recently created a family with his beautiful wife Lar-El and his son Kal-El. He loved his family, but his venture towards the stars was always there. Since he could never search the stars, he decided to look to other Universes in his time, In his searching through the advanced time and space telescopes he has created, he saw a distant universe however, that seemed very intriguing. It was a planet that civilization was beyond primitive in comparison, and who was constantly changed by a species he had never encountered before. A sort of 4 legged creature, with longish snouts and strange appendages such a Horns and Wings. these creatures were unheard of on Krypton, but other planets would have called them... Ponies. For years he yearned to discover more about this species, but he never got the chance. This discovery came 4 days before the Red Sun of Krypton exploded... 4 days before the end of his life and that of his wife... and 4 days before he sent his son to a distant planet of Earth, where he would become the greatest champion of Truth and Justice in the Universe.... Superman.
2000 YEARS LATER
Superman was chasing Brainiac out of the Earth for the 15,000th time, to him It was getting old. He always had to worry about stopping this criminal from destroying the Earth and doing what he did to Kandor to his new home. This time Brainiac had tried to shrink France for its culture in spices... but really it was a way to try to stay away from Superman and get SOME relative knowledge of Earth. It didn't go well.
"Its over Brainiac!" said Superman "I've defeated you pitiful excuse for a plan once again, despite all of your intelligence... you obviously don't seem to bright!"
Superman usually didn't like to brag, his moral values always taught him It was wrong, but for once he decided to rub it into Brainiac's face because of how easily he had dispatched him this time. "When even the FRENCH laugh at your pitiful excuse for conquest, its obvious that your losing your touch."
"Curse You Superman" the robot said in a metallic tone in his incredibly large moon-like 'War-World' craft. "You May Have Caused My Temporary Downfall, But Your Streak of Inherent Victory or "Luck" and The Superstitious Ones May Say, Have Given You This. But You Will Fail, and Earth Will Fall!!!"
Superman had heard enough out of him, not that he was scared, but because he realized that he would be back, and that not matter what, he'd be doing the same thing again, and nothing would ever change. Nothing ever changed for Superman really. It always was the same mundane and costly routine anyone could have, he saved Metropolis and the world a billion times, and people still died... people still hurt... people like his friends.
At the point, something snapped.
"No Brainiac, this time you aren't coming back!" Superman yelled towards the ship
"Question: What Does The Son Of Jor-El Inquire About That?" The android exclaimed
"It means... I'm taking you somewhere where you'll never hurt anyone AGAIN!!!" said the Blue Blur and he smashed in Brainiac's ship and accelerated to a distant Star System. Brainiac frantically tried to stop Superman with his several weapons stored on his ship, but to no avail. Superman finally reached his destination, a Wormhole recently created by a collapsing star.
"Its perfect", Superman thought "When I ram him into this newly collapsed star, it will rip his molecules across time and space, meaning they can never hope to reorganize and restructure themselves.. and Brainiac will die the same way Imperiex did"
As Superman rammed his ship near the Black Hole, Brainiac managed to get one more trick he had been saving... His last supply of Kryptonite. Firing the beam into Superman, he weakened and lost grip of the ship. The ship fell through the Black Hole, and Brainiac disappeared. Unfortunately for Superman, the Kryptonite had proven to much of a power drain and he fell in shortly after, though with much resistance. He eventually fell through.
A few minutes later, he finally regained consciousness and found himself hovering over a Blue and Green Planet.
"Huh" Superman thought. "I guess that Black Hole didn't throw me to far, probably didn't send Brainiac to far in the distance either"
Then sudden realization came to him "I almost... killed Brainiac? What is wrong with me? What right did I have to actually kill a sentient creature such as him, despite all of his evil intentions" Superman pleaded with himself. "I have to be an example for the people of Earth, being a killer is no the way to do that. I should know better... I AM better. How Stupid could I... be...?" Superman spoke until something caught his nigh omnipresent eyes
There was something wrong with Earth. It had the same Sun and the same Moon. But the continents, the oceans, the atmosphere. It was nothing like Earth was or ever would be. Superman then began to think he may have been thrown into the future, but a quick scan proved that this planet was in no way relaed to Earth... in fact NOTHING in the Solar System or Universe seemed all to similar to his own. Then he got a quick look at himself
"I look so... Cartoony?" He exclaimed "Physical makeup is the same, but completely different body structure." Supes began to ponder what was going on, but it didn't take that of a genius, let alone a Kryptonian Super Genius, to realize that he wasn't in Kansas anymore... or at least his Kansas.
"That hole in time and space, must of put me into another dimension beyond my own" Then it dawned on him "And I have no way back." Superman became worried, he didn't think of this scenario because of how compressed the Black Hole was, it definitely didn't seem like it could tear a whole into another Solar System, let alone Universe. "I need a way back, but I need to rest first. Ill survey that planet down below, and see what I can find"
It took less than a millisecond for the Blue Blur to finally reach his destination of the "Earths" surface. It was beautiful to say the least. As cartoony as it looked, its charm and elegance seemed to really shine. It was like Earth was before the pollution, before the industrial age. The leaves blistered in the wind and the plentiful rays of the Yellow Sun only proved to sharpen his powers and intellect even more. It was as if this new sun was even more powerful than the one back home. "It must be a newer star, formed only a couple billion years before."
But it also seemed... strange how a planet like this could be so similar in process to Earth. While '2-Dimensional' to say the least, it looked way to similar to that of earth, as he had noticed before, almost as if a carbon copy, manifested by someone or something trying to make it similar to Earth, but different enough not to be the same. Like a fantasy world off of a kid program... or its was just a huge coincidence, who knows.
He began to look around, and slowly began to take a nap under a tree. "At least they have these in this world" he said, as he ducked his head underneath the tree and began to sleep.
Then his super-hearing heard a rustle, he quickly jumped up to see what the noise was. Using his X-Ray vision he quickly found out what.
"Oh, its just and orange pony...Wait WHAT!?" Superman thought aloud. He quickly spun around to see what he was facing, a small equine like creature with Orange fur, Blonde Hair, and a... Cowboy hat. He also saw what seemed to be a Tattoo of sorts on her rump, which only succeeded in confusing the Kryptonian even further.
"What in tarnation' are ya suppose to beh" the small creature said. "You be'er not be on'e dose'creatures that work far 'Brainiac' or whatever'. I will defen my family fram y'all. I wont fall like mah other friends did"!!! The creature said with confidence, but of fear as well.
"...What?" said the startled Superman, but then he realized what was going on. Jumping towards the sky at breathtaking speeds, he could see more of this "beautiful world" had to offer, In the distance he could see metal constructs of foreign power, and electrical barriers made of science far more advanced than that of what this species could create. And then he saw the statues... of Brainiac.
"...no..." He said, Brainiac had arrived first to this new planet, and had made his mark on them.
Brainiac had taken over... and it was all his fault.

1 YEAR EARLIER
Princess Celestia was busy, she was always busy. After all, she did command the most powerful nation in all of the world, so its obvious her job never really slowed down enough to enjoy the labor of it.
Today was the day of the annual Summer Sun Celebration, and she was in charge of setting the necessary requirements in order to make all of it work out. Seeing how it was supposed to take place here in Canterlot, she was obviously a little stressed.
"Um mam," said one of here assistants to the near-goddess, "We have set up all the preparations for your departure, so we need to leave in about... 30 minutes."
"Thank you for telling me" Celestia exclaimed, " I just need to finish a few things before i set on out, tell the guards to prepare my chariot." The assistant nodded and set off to do just that.
"Finally," The Sun Goddess exclaimed, "I can relax for a minute." She wound down and sat trying to contemplate the day ahead. Despite all of her energy and power, she still needed to rest and relax every now and then. While doing so she thought it would be appropriate to go to the kitchen and... "inspect" the cakes to see if there was anything wrong with them.
Unfortunately for her she was stopped by another familiar face, her sister Princess Luna. "Where are you going, Tia". She demanded. "Um... just going to make sure that the cakes in the bakery were up to par with our guests". Celestia said with the goofiest and , most obviously, fake smile she could muster.
Luna wasnt amused "Sister, what have i told you about your figure" The Moon Deity spoke
"B-B-But, it was only to get a little piece" Celestia said as she tried to reason with her shorter, younger, goddess-princess sister.
"If you keep on with this trend of pigging out, your going to blow up like a balloon, and THEN what will the tabloids say" Despite her objections, Celestia knew what Luna was saying was true, if she even looked like she had gained 1/4th a pound, the newspapers would destroy her. Especially that new one that had popped up, The Daily Planet. With its editor an chief, Pretty White. An annoying little rascal that reprimanded everything she had been doing for the last 3 months. It was also getting quite tiresome when their cub photographer Pegasus, Cherry Olsen, constantly getting embarrassing and revealing photos of her. It was enough to drive her mad.
"Fine, sister" Celestia said, defeated. "I-I better prepare for the celebration"
"Good, ill see you there" Luna exclaimed as she set off towards her own chariot, to begin her journey to the center of the city, where the celebration would take place.
"Sigh" Celestia muttered. She was so sick of this daily routine of constantly having to make herself perfect for the world, when in the end the world would STILL try and find ways to completely humiliate and discredit her, and she could never do anything about it. As a Princess, she always had to be the leader, never the soldier. She always had to send her students and others to do her job for her, and the daily routine never ended. She thought the recent addition as Twilight as an Alicorn would lessen the burden on her, but it only made things worse since Twilight wasnt 100% ready to take over her job, and she still had to work with Luna, who only really worked at night or special occasions.
Speaking of Twilight, she couldn't even be her to see the celebration, because had gone on her own to see Princess Cadence and Shining Armor's new baby, Skyla. As much as she to wanted to see her as well, she couldn't because of her responsibilities. And in the end... she had always had somewhat jealousy towards them.
"Im happy that Cadence finally found someone to share her life with, and even Luna had found herself a little crush." She said to no one in particular. "But me... I don't have any of that, no one to understand my struggles, no one that gets me... oh Celestia stop acting like a little heartbroken school filly, you have the world at your hoof tips, enjoy your one day of admiration in peace." As she said that the guards came in and reminded her it was time to go
"Alright, lets go put on a show for my loyal subjects" She exclaimed with glee.
It was about time for the Summer Sun Celebration, and Celestia started off to her normal pose... when something caught her eye. Something.... big
"Huh?" Luna exclaimed "Sis, when did you make a second moon, especially without telling me!?" Luna was furious until she saw the shock on her sisters face, and realized that something was off.
Everyone looked into the distance, and saw what their somewhat primitive minds didn't quite understand. It was a large spherical like object, almost as big as the moon itself. Only it was very...metallic and unnatural. Some people thought it was a joke made by the princess against some others who wanted a new moon (...for some reason). Soon a smaller ship went down from the area and a strangle, bipedal metallic knight creature arouse. To some this seemed amazing and wonderful. But that was before a large humming noise was made... and the most terrifying voice imaginable could be heard
"Equines Of This Planet" it exclaimed with a fierce ferocity. "I Am Brainiac, The Most Intelligent Being In The Universe, I Have Been Forced Through Time And Space, And Noticed That Your Planet Is Covered In A Bond Of Cosmic Powers, To Some Which Is Known As "MAGIC". I Demand That This "MAGIC" Be Used For Me, And Only Me, In My Conquest, Gathering Of Knowledge And Total Annihilation Of The Universe."
"And what If we refuse" a rash young Pegasus said up and close to the machine. "What if we don't want to listen to some giant, moon thing."
Brainiac heard and fired a shot that instantly vaporized the Pegasus, causing much panic among the crowds. "... Then You Will Be Taught By Force" Brainiac exclaimed as he began opening fire on the city of Canterlot, instantly killing thousands of the nearby ponies in the ground, and reducing much of the landscape to rubble. To anyone looking... it would seem like hell.
"Alright men, set you horns and OPEN FIRE" The 2nd in command of the Royal Guard exclaimed as all of the guards shot towards the lumbering planetoid... only for it to immediately bounce off on impact of the creature and the ship. Shocking all of the nearby citizens.
"Do You Think You Are The First Civilization I Have Come Across That Uses MAGIC, You Think I Wouldn't Have Any Defenses Against Such Power?!" Brainiac nearly cackled as he sent in more ships across, landing in his thousands of troops to deploy against. In which wiped out most of the resistance immediately.
Brainiac felt content, though annoyed that this species magic wasnt strong enough for what he needed it for. That was until he heard a eruption of force below him, and saw something that almost brought fear to his metallic, cold heart.
"ENOUGH!!!" Said a angered Celestia and Luna, as they sent in magic bolts that instantly knocked around hundreds of the troops and even 2 or 3 ships. They made their assault towards the towering Brainiac, who while angered, had found what he was looking for.
"HOW DARE YOU ATTACK MY PEOPLE, IN MY CITY, ON THIS DAY" Celestia screeched in her Royal Canterlot Voice, such of which flew some of the ships back. "I DONT KNOW WHO YOU ARE, OR WHAT YOU ARE, BUT TODAY... YOU DIE!!!!!!!"
Celestia had realized she was destroying her "perfect image" by wanting to utterly destroy this worthless piece of scrap metal, but she felt it was justified. Never before had a creature so cold heartedly attacked and killed so many of her subjects. Even creatures such as Discord, Chrysalis, or even Sombra merely imprisoned her subjects or toyed with them, but this was beyond her scope of terror as her streets ran red with the blood of her own people. And she was beyond help at this point.
"Ahhh, You Will Be Useful To Me After All" said Brainiac as he sent in a ray of light towards the Sun Goddess, which despite her magical strength, couldn't resist.
"Get away from her" screeched Luna as she rocketed towards the Ship, only to be taken out by a large laser from the ship, and only thanks to her godly body an strength did she not perish.
"LUNA" Celestia bellowed. "I-I-Ill GET YOU MONSTER AND SAVE MY CITY".
Brainiac laughed, causing some fear in Celestia to grow. "What City" exclaimed Brainiac as he launched a strange yellow ray, instantly covering everything in a light so bright, even Celestias godly eyes couldn't see through them. And after that, there was only silence... as now a crater where Canterlot once stood formed.
"...no..." The weeping Goddess exclaimed "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!" She wailed into the ship as hard as she could, and managed to escape the gravitational beam. Nearly destroying Brainiac ship in the process.
Something snapped inside Celestia, and rage Brainiac had only seen in 1 being before, exploded.
"AGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!" roared the Goddess of the Sun and she fired her solar blasts at the many ships that cornered her, taking out dozens of the ships on impact, and wiping over half of the ground troops in a matter of seconds. Most of the many weapons bounced off of her newfound nigh indestructible molecular structure, and her attacks managed to go through the Magical Defenses like a hot knife on butter. It was to a point where her energy and rage could be felt all the way Manehattan, and as far to the Gryphon Kingdom.
She was on her way to total vengeance, when Brainiac pulled one more trick out in desperation, he managed to summon all of his power into one final laser cannon, and pointed it at the Sun Goddess.
"CRACKA-BOOM!!!!!!!!!!" The noise made as it hit its target, with a force comparable to that of a dozen supernovas compact into an area of less than 100 meters. But instead of a corpse, or incinerated floating ash pile, stood a weakened Sun Deity, who fell towards the earth. As she landed, she could remember only the words she had made less than an hour before...
"Lets go put on a show for my loyal subjects" echoed throughout her mind, until she was awoken on the ship of Brainiac. wearing a strange collar.
"Ehhhhhh" she exclaimed, trying to use her magic to free herself, but to no avail. The Collar seemed to disallow her powers, though it is in doubt if she was stronger it would stop her.
"Finally My Ultimate Weapon Is Awake" smirked Brainiac, that is... if he could smirk
Celestias anger slowly came back. "You...Destroyed... My... City... And... Killed... My.... SISTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!." Celestia bowelled as she tried to cast a cockroach spell to the machine, so she could crush it between her feet, but again, to no avail.
"I Did Not Destroy Your City, Or Your Sibling" he explained, shocking Celestia when he pulled out a bottle... with Canterlot in it.
"You... shrunk it" She asked
"Yes, So I Could Use It For Study Later, And Since I Have Covered It In A 'Anti-Magic' Shield, It Wont Be Going Anywhere." He explained shocking Celestia. "And Don't Think You Will Be Getting And Reinforcements Any Time Soon, I Have Already Captured All You Cities, And Imprisoned All Your Other Fighters Who Dared Appose Me" He explained a she saw the imprisoned cities or Manehattan, San Fransicolt, Las Pegasus, and even the Crystal Empire all contained in the same bottles as that. Also she noticed cages for Discord, Chrysalis, and any other pony/creature she had faced.
"...Why then am I still not contained" she said with hostility that could rupture the soul
"Because You Have A Ability That Will Help Me In My Defeat Of My Greatest Enemy... Commanding Of The Sun." Brainiac explained to her even more. "In Less Than 1 Year, According To My Sensors, My Greatest Rival Will Be Coming To This Planet, And I Want You To Finish Him Off" He exclaimed
He looked at her with his cold, lifeless eyes " I Want You To Kill The Superman."
Author's Note
Holy balls, that took a lot longer than necessary. I personally think I did a better job on this than on the first chapter (maybe because I was awake) and I hope you enjoy
Leave any criticism if you have any, and feel free to point out any mistakes if you find any
