Fluttersaiyan

                                               Chapter 11: The Dumbest and Strongest Saiyan

I don’t miss that rooster at all, but at least it woke me up at the same time every morning, always consistent, always reliable. Today I was going to focus entirely on getting stronger, hopefully I’d be able to hold the kaioken times 5 at a stable level, that is to say, without dying or blowing up. I slowly pulled out of Fluttershy’s grasp, sliding her forelegs of off me, then hopping out of bed, literally. I jumped up into a back flip before landing. Fluttershy woke up and sat up in bed, looking confused.

“Oh, good morning Fluttershy.” I said to her with a smile.

“Good morning Dako, isn’t it a little early?” she asked sleepily.

“Uh, well, I was going to start working out today. See how strong I can get.” I said to her.

“But you said yourself that after you had healed you got way stronger.” She said.

“Yeah, but I can always get stronger, like if a dragon attacked again.” I explained.

“Okay, but please wait a little longer, come back to bed and cuddle with me?” she said smiling all cute and all. I had no choice now.

“Ok.” I said smiling. “I can’t say “no” to you.” I said as I got into bed.

We cuddled for another four hours, and although I was so eager and ready to work out and exercise, I fell back asleep and let time get away from me. I woke up later at 10:00. When I woke up I was lying on my back and Fluttershy was on top of me, her head lying on my chest, and her legs on either side of me. She was so cute and adorable, I know I mention it way too much, but it’s true. She made it so hard for me to get up, and to make me wake her up so she could get off of me, even though I didn’t want her off, she was so warm, soft, cozy, and cuddly. I truly loved her.

“Fluttershy. Pst, Fluttershy. I have to get up now, its 10:30.” I whispered to her.

“Okay Dako.” She said crawling off of me. “You’re free to go.” She said smiling.

I got up and got dressed in what was left of my clothes, blood soaked, torn, rags. And I really liked them. This meant only one thing, a quick trip to Rarity’s. I didn’t have time to make something to eat, so I ate a Senzu bean, worked like a charm. As I walked outside I looked straight up and took a deep breath, there wasn’t a cloud in the sky, and it was warm and sunny out. I jumped straight into the air and took off. I flew as fast as I could, well, actually probably half speed since I was much faster now. I hit close to 500 miles an hour with ease, it was incredible. I made it to Rarity’s Carousel Boutique in less than one minute! And her place is about five miles away from Fluttershy’s cottage!

I landed at Rarity’s and knocked on the door. When she opened the door she jumped back noticing my shredded clothes, remembering what happened.

“Oh darling! We have to get you out of those clothes right away!” she said while pulling me inside.

“Actually, that’s kinda why I came here, I need some new clothes.” I told her once I was inside.

“I see. Okay, take your clothes off.” She said walking over to her work desk.

“Uh, do I have to?” I asked.

“Well you have to take those off some time once your new outfit is made.” She said. “Besides, you don’t have to be modest, you have nothing fear.”

“Okay, I guess.” I told her.

My boots were torn, my pants had rips in the knees and the left leg was ripped from the thigh all the way down the leg, and my shirt was torn in several spots. Not to mention everything was soaked and stained with dry blood, and dirt. I stripped down to just my boxer-briefs and my socks.

“I said to take everything off.” Rarity said to me as she passed me by gathering the rest of her cloth and materials.

“No I think I’ll keep these on, thank you.” I said smiling.

“Darling, I don’t mind what you’re hiding, but I need you completely undressed so I can get all of the measurements I need to make your new clothes. Now take those off.” She said.

“Oh, fine, fine. If it makes you happy, but please try not to stare, my eyes are up here.” I said with no choice in the matter. I took off my underwear and socks, but I covered myself with my hands.

“Thank you, now hold still.” She said levitating her measuring tape to me. After gathering all of my measurements she began drawing patterns on the pieces of cloth. I noticed they were all orange and blue.

“So, could I see what you have in mind, like a sketch of something?” I asked her. As she began cutting pieces of fabric she levitated up a sketch of the masterpiece she was now working on. I grabbed it and looked at it carefully. It looked exactly like the uniform Goku wore in Dragon ball Z. Rarity must’ve figured I was some kind of martial artist, and that a kung fu type of outfit would fit me best.

“Rarity, I don’t want to rush you, but could you make a pair of underwear or something now that you have my measurements, its cold in here.” I said starting to get shivers. She quickly stitched some together out of nowhere. Then she continued with my outfit.

“Finished!” Rarity exclaimed holding up my new clothes. “Everything is made of tough fabric to fit your lifestyle, and everything is double stitched as well.”

“Rarity, think you so much, I can never repay you, until I get a job.” I said.

“Oh, it’s nothing, nothing at all dear. I’m always glad to help.” She said with a friendly smile. “Well, go ahead, try it on.” She said.

I started to put the fighting uniform on, but I noticed something missing.

“Rarity, do you have any boots for this?” I asked.

“Well, I do suppose I could throw something together.” She said, imagining what the might look like.

“Oh, I have feet, not hooves, remember? Keep that in mind.” I reminded her. In a couple of minutes she had boots that looked like Goku’s boots too.

“Anything else I can help you with?” she asked.

“Wristbands?” I asked, if I was going this far, I might as well have the complete outfit. She made both wristbands in about 30 seconds.

“Awesome!” I said looking at myself in a mirror.

“My, it certainly suits you.” Rarity said admiring her work.

“Rarity, as soon as I get some money, I’d like nine more of these, could you do that for me?” I asked her.

“Whenever you’re ready dear.” She said with a proud smile.

I took off to Cloudsdale looking for Derpy, because I had a bag full of Senzu beans, and a couple of dumb ideas. When I got there I got some stares from everypony, mostly good ones. I saw Rainbow Dash chatting it up with a couple of other pegasi, until she noticed me.

“Whoa! Dako, where did you get the cool clothes!?” she asked surprised.

“Rarity made ‘em for me. You like ‘em?” I asked her.

“Yeah! They make you look about, 20 percent cooler.” She said, trying to put a number to it.

“I couldn’t agree with you more.” I said smiling, I can’t believe she said that. “Oh, by the way, have you seen Derpy?” I asked.

“Uh, I think I saw her over there.” Rainbow Dash said, pointing at a smoke stack that churned out huge white and fluffy clouds. I flew over and saw Derpy playing around, jumping on the clouds.

“Hey Derpy, how are you today?” I asked in a friendly way.

“Oh hi Dako! I’m just enjoying my break.” She said as she continued bouncing on a cloud.

“How much time do you think you have left?” I asked her.

“Maybe, 25 minutes, I just started.” She said smiling.

“Would you like to help me do something?” I asked.

“Oh, sure!” she said excited. “What do you need help with?” she asked, now curious.

“It may be something dumb, but I assure you it’s entirely safe.” I said.

“What is it?” she asked again.

“I need you to follow me and I’ll explain on the way.” I said flying off. She followed closely next to me, while I explained what I needed her for. She seemed to understand with almost no questions. We flew a short distance from Cloudsdale and landed in a clear area with nopony around. No one but me, Derpy, and some TNT. I had a bundle of dynamite that was wired up to 2,000 feet of wire with the old fashioned plunger style ignition. I was holding the dynamite bundle in my hands. You can probably see where this was going.

“Okay Derpy, go!” I yelled to her, giving her the signal. As soon as I saw her push down the plunger I was filled with feelings of instant fear, and regret. There was a huge and deafening explosion that tossed me threw the air. The pain was indescribable, if only it had killed me, and killed me instantly. Derpy flew over to me quickly with my bag of Senzu beans.

“Ugh, okay, quickly, give me, ugh, give me one.” I said wracked with pain. She opened the bag and gave me one. I quickly chewed it up and swallowed it as fast as possible. In a couple of seconds I felt it working. Suddenly I leapt up to my feet feeling fantastic.

“Whoo yeah! I feel great!” I shouted out, Derpy looked at me confused.

“Okay, I have one more thing to do.” I said to Derpy. “Stand back, like double what you were when you set off the dynamite, but be ready to fly over once it’s over, okay?”

“Okay.” She said smiling, then she flew off. I waited until she was far enough away before I began.

“Right.” I said exhaling. “Kaioken!” I shouted as I powered up as far as I could. Now I was stronger than I could ever imagine. I didn’t hesitate to go straight up to times five. The power felt amazing, impossible. Chunks of the ground around me began floating up into the air and exploding into fine dust. Enough playing around, time for my next stupid idea. If I wanted to get a huge power and strength boost, I would have to be hurt by an energy attack, oh yeah, this is gonna feel great. I raised my hands above my head and began to concentrate. About 10 feet above the palms of my hands a bright blue orb began to form, about the size of a basketball at first. I kept charging, until it grew to about 10 feet in diameter, then 20 feet. Finally I sent it straight upward, it began to shrink the higher and higher up it got. Soon it was just a twinkle in the sky. Then I put arms straight down at my sides as I brought the energy orb back down.

I heard it rumble like thunder as it came hurtling back down. The closer the orb got, the more I could hear a low buzzing, like the buzzing of electricity around a power plant. Everything around me got brighter as it was lit up by the approaching orb. I fell out of the kaioken so I could be impacted by the full force of the blast. I wonder if this could be considered as a suicide attempt? The blast hit the ground at full force, I could instantly feel the intense heat, followed immediately by an enormous explosion. I only had it for half a day, but I was pretty sure that by now my uniform was completely destroyed, I could feel and hear it rip apart. If I thought the incident with the cliff was pain, I must’ve had a different definition of pain then. As soon as the explosion went off, the split second of chaos, a plume of dust and smoke filled the air. I lay on the ground, in pain, waiting. Waiting for Derpy to find me, and in a minute or two when the dust thinned out she flew over to me with the bag of Senzu beans. She gave me another one, I took it and chewed it weakly, then swallowed it. In 30 seconds I felt it take effect, I felt instantly reborn. I hopped back to my feet and looked down at my uniform.

“Okay Derpy, I think I’ll call it day.” I said, pulling at the shreds in my uniform.

“Well, of course its day silly, the sun is out.” she said smiling at me.

“I mean, I think this will be enough today, my uniform is shredded. Thank you for the help.” I said to her. I gave her a hug before she left to go back to work.

I flew off to Fluttershy’s. It literally took me no time at all, now I was even faster than before. I walked in, closing the door behind me, looking for Fluttershy. I didn’t see her anywhere, so I looked outside. I found her in the back feeding her animals. When I got close enough for her to hear my steps, she turned around and gasped at the sight of my new uniform, completely shredded up.

“Dako! Where did you get that from?” she asked.

“Rarity made it for me, earlier today. But I kinda tore it up, uh, “training”, with Derpy.” I told her. “You should’ve seen it earlier, when it was new. It’s still pretty nice, these are just minor damages. Look, I have these shirts, the pants and belt, boots and wristbands. Does it look good on me?” I asked.

“You look great, you look like a real hero now.” She said smiling proudly at me.

“Thank you Fluttershy.” I said then I picked her up off of her hooves in a tight hug.

“Uh, Dako, you’re, h-hurting me.” She said with effort. I immediately set her down.

“Oh! I’m so sorry! I don’t know my own strength yet, I’ve gotten a lot stronger.” I told her.

“Stronger? How?” she asked confused.

“I cheated using the Senzu beans. I would hurt myself, then eat a bean, then voila, I’m healed stronger and healthier than ever.” I explained.

“Hurting yourself? Dako, you shouldn’t do that! What if you can’t heal yourself?” she said worried.

“It’s okay Fluttershy, I won’t get hurt. Besides, the stronger I get, the harder it is for me to get hurt.” I reassured her.

She started to calm down about the subject. We went inside after she was done feeding the animals. She waited on the couch while I made us lunch. I wasn’t too hungry, but I still felt like making her something to eat. I made her something simple, since I was still just learning about their food here. I didn’t see much on the show after all, just stuff like sandwiches. So I made her a sandwich. When I finished I brought it out to her.

“Here you go cutie, I made you a sandwich.” I said with a wink. She blushed.

“Aww, you’re so cute Fluttershy, I wuv you so much!” I said kissing her on the forehead. Okay, I may have gotten carried away, but I was honest.

“Thank you Dako.” She said smiling and blushing still. “Um, are you alright?” she asked me.

“Uh, w-well, yeah I, I got a little carried away.” I said.

“But, you know, that’s how I feel. I love you Fluttershy. You know that.” I said to her.

“I know, I love you too Dako.” She said to me, then she kissed me on the cheek.

“Aww, somepony’s being cute again.” I said to her. “Now, go ahead and eat your sandwich, I will be right back, I’m going to see Rarity and see if she can fix these clothes for me a little.” I flew off as fast as I could, breaking the sound barrier with ease. I didn’t get far though, as I was stopped dead in my tracks by a familiar sight. The dragon had come back.

He was carelessly stomping his way through Ponyville. He started breathing fire down on several houses and buildings. I wasn’t about to have that. I powered up the kaioken and flew down to face him.

“Hey!” I yelled at him. Being the only one of my kind, he instantly recognized me, then tried to blast me out off the sky with his flames. “Raaaagh!” I screamed as I powered up as high as I could to deflect the flames with an invisible wall of my sheer power. When the dragon saw I wasn’t roasted he looked confused then angry.

He swiped at me with his right arm, using all of his strength. I stuck my left hand out and caught his arm in mid-air, not even flinching or budging an inch.

“Oh yeah, I’ve gotten stronger, way stronger.” I said as I pulled my left arm back and quickly punched with full force, throwing his arm back at him.

He staggered back a bit, trying to keep his balance from the sheer force of my attack. Then he turned to his right quickly, trying to swat me out of the air with his tail. I stuck my arms out and caught his tail, then twisted, pulling him off of his feet and flipping him over me, tossing him into the ground. He hit with a loud, low, and rumbling impact as I visibly saw the buildings shudder under the weight of his impact.

“Look I’m busy, so I’ll just make this quick.” I said to him, as if he could understand. I flew down to him and grabbed his tail again and lifted him off of the ground. The whole time, I never came out of the kaioken, instead of using it in short bursts, I treated it like it was super saiyan, if only I could go super saiyan. As I lifted him off of the ground, I began to spin around. As I began spinning faster and faster, I was also spinning him around and around prepare to chunk him as far as possible. As I reached top speed, spinning so fast I could no longer hang on to him, I let him go, sending him straight towards the Everfree forest.

“And that, is how it’s done.” I said to myself, wiping my hands off. Those scales feel really creepy to touch, like a snake. Almost slimy. I heard cheers from down below, and looked to see a group of ponies celebrating my victory as I had saved them twice from the same dragon. I hovered down toward them. The group began parting as they let somepony through, and as they got closer I saw it was the mayor.

“Congratulations Dako for once again saving our town!” she said to me as everyone cheered louder.

“Thanks, I just happened to be passing by.” I said.

“As a reward for your bravery and heroism, the town of Ponyville presents to you, 1,000 bits.” She said as somepony else brought up a sack of money.

“Oh, thank you all, this is very generous.” I said modestly. “You know, normally I wouldn’t and couldn’t accept this, but I really do need the money.” I explained.

“That’s quite alright.” The mayor said to me. “You earned it after all, in fact, if you’re going to be our hero from now on, we might as well reward you for it.”

“I guess so. Again, thank you all. I have to go now, I need to fix these clothes of mine.” I said to them as I slowly ascended with my reward money. I quickly continued to Rarity’s, and this time I was able to pay her for her work. She repaired my clothing and asked me how I could have completely destroyed them in the same day I had them. I told her what I did and she just shook her head. When she asked how I got the money and from where, I told her about the dragon and how he returned.

“Oh, Rarity, could you make me another 10 suits like these? I have the money now, and I will let you take all the time you want.” I said to her. She agreed to do it for me, but reminded me it would take some time. It didn’t matter, I was patient. When she was done making the repairs I paid her what I owed, said goodbye, then flew back off to Fluttershy’s. The sun was starting to set now. When I got home I presented the new clothes to Fluttershy. She liked them even better, now that they were fixed.

It was late now, so we headed upstairs to get ready for bed. I took off my new clothes and carefully folded them, setting my wristbands on top of them, then set my boots in front of the stack of clothes. I looked at myself in the mirror again. My muscles were even bigger than before, it was unbelievable. I climbed into bed with Fluttershy who was waiting for me. As I got into bed she stuck her forelegs out, grabbing me in a hug. I wrapped my arms around her and hugged her as well, but gently this time, I didn’t want to hurt her. I could hear her sigh with content, wrapped in my arms, as she began to fall asleep. Later I fell asleep too, as we cuddled together, warm, happy, and safe.
