Fluttersaiyan

                                                                    Chapter 3: The Others

I think I woke up at around 8:00 the next morning. Fluttershy was still asleep, and I got up quietly so I wouldn’t disturb her. I got dressed and decided to go outside. Living at the foster home didn’t give me a lot of time to work out or exercise. So for a saiyan I wasn’t very strong. Hell, flying too fast for too long would tire me out. I figured that since I would be here with a bunch of mythical creatures and monsters I should try to get stronger for my own good. I headed out into the vast open field in front of Fluttershy’s cottage. I began my stretches so I wouldn’t hurt myself while training, that would be a huge fail. I wanted to practice my energy control, like energy blasts and energy balls. I cocked back my right arm like a baseball pitcher ready to throw a fastball. I let the energy flow towards the palm of my hand, until an orb formed in my hand, and let the ball grow until it was the size of a softball. I flung my arm out in front of me as hard as I could and sent it flying towards a tree. As soon as it made impact it exploded and broke the tree in half about 5 feet up from the ground. Splinters and bark were sent flying in all directions. The tree was about 25 feet tall and fell to the ground hard.

Throwing an energy ball isn’t as hard as one might imagine. Although pure energy has mass, it’s almost negligible; an energy ball the size of a softball feels like holding a penny in your hand. So while it takes force to throw an actual softball, you don’t need much force to throw energy, but the more force you use will mean a higher speed and stronger impact. Next I made my hand flat, and with my right arm extended straight out, bent my hand at a 90 degree angle. I was basically pointing with my palm. I aimed at another tree and fired three energy balls from my hand in less than a second. All three hit the tree and reduced it to toothpicks. A huge cloud of dirt, leaves, and bark was thrown into the air in a plume reaching 30 feet. I turned looking for my next target and saw that Fluttershy was standing behind me, she looked a little scared.

“Oh, good morning Fluttershy. I was just, practicing my techniques, energy control.” I said.

“Oh my, its, loud.” She said quiet and cautious.

I didn’t want to wake her up but I had. I decided to show another demonstration.

“Its okay, come here, let me show you something.” I said

“No, that’s fine.” She replied

“It’s okay, really. I won’t do anything loud. I promise.” I told her.

It must’ve been scary. A strange creature like me that has no hair except on top of my head, walks on two legs, can fly without wings, and shoots balls of light from my hands that blow things up. Put that way it does seem pretty scary.

“This is called energy control. I can focus my own life energy and use it. The stronger you are the more energy you can use, and the more energy you have.” I explained.

“Oh. That’s neat.” She said.

I tried looking at the sun to tell the time even though I don’t know how too. Well it was directly above me, so it had to be noon. If I was going to live here I would need to learn some better fighting skills, but I also needed to meet Rarity, Applejack, and Pinkie Pie. Screw the exercise, I had places to go and ponies to meet.

“Fluttershy, what do you think of having me meet your other three friends?” I asked her.

“That sounds nice. I’m sure they’d like you.” She said smiling. I always liked Fluttershy a lot, but in real life, she was the cutest fucking thing!

We both took off and flew towards Applejack’s place at sweet apple acres. It was kinda close after all. Another thing I would need to work on was my flight. I never used to fly all the time on Earth, it drew way too much attention. But here I felt quite free to fly whenever I felt like. Although since I didn’t fly a whole lot I couldn’t fly the best. I could fly okay, do some stunts, but I could only hit about 100 miles per hour tops, 140 if I really pushed it. Meanwhile on Dragon ball Z, Goku and Vegeta could break the sound barrier. Anyways, we landed just outside of the fence surrounding the farm. Fluttershy led me in. Just as I thought, I spotted Applejack about 100 feet away bucking apples from the trees. I thought it’d be funny to just stroll on up and yell “Howdy!” so I did.

“Howdy!” yeah, that got her attention. She turned around and looked straight at me. Her reaction was one of, confusion.

“Who the hay are you, and what are you?” she asked.

“His name is Dako, he’s my new friend. I found him during that really big storm two nights ago.” Fluttershy said.

“Well, what exactly is he?” Applejack questioned again.

“I’m a saiyan. I’m from a far away land much like this one. I don’t know how I got here, but just know that my intentions are good and friendly. Besides, the way I see it I’m going to be living here for a while, if not forever.” I said.

“Well, I don’t know what a saiyan is, but it’s mighty nice to hear that you’re a good fella.” Applejack replied.

“Yup, if you want a more detailed explanation you can go visit Twilight, I met her yesterday and explained everything. Right now I have to go and meet Rarity and Pinkie Pie. See you around.” I said smiling to her. Fluttershy was the first to take off, then I did while still smiling at Applejack, just to see her reaction when she saw me fly. Her jaw dropped in disbelief. That made me laugh.

After another five minutes of flying, me and Fluttershy arrived outside of Rarity’s place. Fluttershy knocked on the door for me and we waited for Rarity to answer. Rarity opened the door and instantly screamed in surprise. I thought it would be funny to act as though I didn’t know why.

“What!? Is there a spider!?” I asked jokingly.

“Fluttershy, what is that, thing with you!?” Rarity asked frightened.

“I’m her friend Dako, she saved me from the storm two nights ago. Nice to meet you madame.” I reached for her hoof and kissed it like a gentleman would kiss a woman’s hand. Like I thought, she immediately jerked her hoof away from me.

“Ah! It talks! And it’s, a gentlecolt, rather than a beast.” Rarity said starting to calm down a little.

“Well of course I talk, and where I’m from, we say “Gentleman”.” I said.

“Yes, well, where are my manners, my name is Rarity, the top fashion designer of Ponyville.” She said proudly.

“Oh, it’s okay Rarity, he already knows who we all are, it’s complicated, but it’s also true.” Fluttershy said quiet and calm with a little smile.

“Yes, I’ve already met Twilight Sparkle, Spike, Rainbow Dash, and Applejack. Now all I have to meet is Pinkie Pie.” I explained. I thought about it, and it was a good thing I was going to Pinkie Pie’s because I was starting to get hungry, and I hadn’t eaten since I got here.

“Well dear, if you ever need anything fashion wise from me, perhaps a tuxedo, you know where to find me.” Rarity said smiling.

“Yes ma’am, yes I do. Well, I have to get going now, but I do hope to talk to you more soon, you see, these are my only clothes and I’ll be needing more in a while.” I said.

“Okay, ta-ta!” Rarity replied waving her hoof.

Me and Fluttershy took off, and I saw the same look of awe and disbelief in Rarity’s face as I did with all of the other ponies. They all make me laugh! Again, it was about five minutes of flying until we came upon Sugarcube Corner. We set down in front of the Cakes’ bakery and walked in, me as usual acting like some casual customer. As the door opened a bell rang to let them know we had walked in. I heard Mr. Cake yell from another room telling Pinkie Pie to care of things. Lucky day, huh? I saw Pinkie pop up from behind the counter, and I still don’t know if it was Pinkie being Pinkie, or if she was just hanging out behind the counter.

“Hello, what do you have in the way of breakfast pastries, I know it’s late, but I missed breakfast, and I’m really hungry.” I said just as casual as ever.

“Ooh! Who are you? You look really weird! Are you a monster? I really hope you’re a nice monster! But then again I don’t know any nice monsters! In fact I don’t know any monsters! What’s your name? What are you? Where are you from? Do you wanna be friends?” Pinkie Pie shouted at a million miles an hour.

I chuckled a little. “Hi, nice to meet you, my name is Dako, I’m a saiyan. No I’m not a monster, and I’m from Earth, well a different Earth. And yes, I’d like to be friends.” I replied.

“Fluttershy, where did you find him? He’s super duper cool!” Pinkie said in her hyper way.

“I found him outside of my house during that storm two nights ago.” Fluttershy told Pinkie Pie. “He doesn’t know how he got here, or how to go back. So for now he’s staying with me. But I don’t mind, he’s really kind and nice and friendly.” Fluttershy told Pinkie Pie.

“Well, I wasn’t kidding when I said I was hungry, I haven’t eaten since I got here, and seeing all of these baked goods have really reminded me of how hungry I am.” I said, feeling my mouth water a little.

“Well since you’re new here you deserve a welcome party! You can have anything you want right now on the house!” Pinkie Pie said excitedly.

“Thank you, that’s great, I don’t have any money anyway. So when is the party?” I asked.

“Later tonight! Everypony will be here!” said Pinkie Pie.

“Cool! So can I get a cake, some cupcakes, a few chocolate chip cookies, and some milk too? Can you make the cake and cupcakes chocolate as well?” I asked. I was so hungry right then I could take my boots off and eat the leather.

“Sure! Coming right up!” said Pinkie Pie as she disappeared behind the counter.

I took a seat at a booth nearby with Fluttershy. As I sat and waited, I thought about things back home. What my friends might have thought happened. Could the only real actual saiyan have died because of a tornado? They know I’m tougher than that. I may only be 17, but that doesn’t matter when you’re a saiyan. I wonder if they could be looking for me right this moment. Then I began wondering about my arrival. How did Fluttershy find me? How did she get me inside? The curiosity was unbearable, so I asked her.

“Fluttershy, how did you find me on that night? I don’t think you ever told me.” I asked her.

“Well, I was all ready for bed that night when I heard a loud crash outside. When I went out to check it out, I saw you lying on the ground. You fell on top of one of my animal cages and were unconscious. That’s how one of my badgers got out.” She explained to me.

“I saw you laying there in the rain, you didn’t look hurt, but I knew I just couldn’t leave you there. And since you were unconscious I knew it would be safe to go near you. So I threw you over my back, laid you down on my couch, and went back outside to find my badger.” She finished explaining.

Well now that I knew that I felt, meh. I knew what happened now and now I knew just how thankful I should be.

“Wow, you carried me in? Some strange creature you’ve never seen before that could’ve possibly been dangerous? Thank you, Fluttershy, so much.” I said. I’m glad she cares so much about all living things. I noticed she began to blush a little.

“Oh, it’s nothing really, it’s just what had to be done.” She said with a shy little smile. My god she’s just so freaking cute and adorable. I may never have been able to pick my favorite pony before, but now I think there is no contest. Just then Pinkie Pie showed up with my food. And it looked glorious!

“Here you go Dako! Enjoy!” Pinkie Pie said.

I began with the cupcakes, there were twelve there, and I ate them all like they were nothing. Well I would’ve eaten them all, but I offered one to Fluttershy who politely accepted. They were perfect, chocolate with vanilla frosting. Then I moved on to my cake, which again I could’ve eaten whole, but gave a slice to Fluttershy. It too was chocolate with vanilla frosting. It was like eating a cloud, it was so fresh and fluffy, like it was baked after being carbonated like soda. Then I finally had the cookies with milk. Fluttershy had two of the cookies, two out of 20. The first glass of milk wasn’t enough though, I had two more glasses after. The cookies were great, like chips ahoy on steroids. All of this thanks to the saiyan appetite I had. I would need all of it, even though it wasn’t the healthiest, because when I got back to Fluttershy’s I would start my hardcore training. If I had to guess my power level right now, it would probably be at 1,000. Full power with the Kaioken, maybe at 5,000. Who knows?

After breakfast/lunch, me and Fluttershy headed off to her place. When I first took off Pinkie Pie could only gasp at my ability. It was a 15-20 minute flight back. When we got to her cottage Fluttershy said she’d like to watch me train. I let her, so she could get to know me a little better, see me in action. Unfortunately for me I don’t have an artificial gravity training chamber. So I found a huge rock to strap to my back. The rock I found was about the size of a bed, so maybe it was more like a small boulder. It may have weighed a ton or two. Once it was strapped to my back I began hopping around and punching and kicking invisible enemies. I was doing back flips, dodges, and jumps. I did anything to build muscle, speed, and strengthen my flight ability. I did this for about a half hour, by then I was exhausted, and my muscles were killing me. I moved to the next portion of my exercise. I ripped the boulder from my back and spun a couple of times like I was doing the shot put. I let it go flying into the sky, then I put my hands together as though I were doing the Kamehame-ha, pulled them back then thrust them out towards the boulder. I pulled up as much energy as I could and fired a bright yellow beam of energy at the boulder. It was reduced to sand. Fluttershy was lying on the ground, hooves over her head with her eyes closed and a nervous smile.

“That was good Dako. Very scary, and loud.” She said nervously.

“Oh, I’m sorry Fluttershy!” I yelled over to her.

“Oh no, it’s okay.” She replied back to me.

I tried to fly over to her, but as soon as I got off of the ground I fell back down. I stumbled and fell to my knees. Fluttershy rushed over to my side and asked if I was okay. I told her I was fine, that I was just low on energy. I was soaked in sweat, and so were my clothes. I wonder if I should’ve taken them off first, before working out, like Goku might have done. We walked inside together, me leaning on her for support. She showed me to her bathroom like I asked and got the tub ready so I could bathe myself. For a minute she stood watching as I undressed. I stopped once I got to my underwear.

“Fluttershy, is it okay if I got a little privacy for now? I don’t really mind you being here, but maybe after I’ve gotten in the water?” I said to her.

“Oh, I understand. I’ll be right outside if you need anything.” She said to me before walking out.

Now the house may have had some low spots, like the doorways, the ponies only stood about 4 feet tall to the top of their heads, but I was 5 foot 11, so I had to duck under doorways. But the tub was actually normal sized. Once the tub was full of water I got in. The relaxing sensation of the warm water slowly seeped into me. It felt good to get clean. I would also need to be clean if I wanted to make a good impression at my party later tonight. I decided to call Fluttershy back in.

“Excuse me Fluttershy, my clothes are kinda dirty from exercise. Could you wash them for me, if you can’t its fine, I’ll do it.” I asked her.

“Its okay Dako, I’d be happy to clean them for you.” She said with a smile.

She walked out with a pile of my clothes in a basket balanced on her back. As she walked out with the basket some small black object fell out. It was shiny and rectangular. Luckily, it was in my reach, so I picked it up and instantly recognized it. It was my iPod from back on earth, and it still had the earbuds wrapped around it. I turned it on and began scrolling through the songs. Just because I felt like listening to it, I played C-murder- Down 4 my N’s. Yeah, I may be from Texas, but I like rap, besides, we invented “Screw”. Once I was done, I got out of the tub, grabbed the towels Fluttershy left me, and dried off. The towels were actually normal sized, I expected them to be the size of rags. I wrapped a towel around my waist and left the bathroom to look for Fluttershy. I found her out back hanging my clothes up to dry.

“Almost done Fluttershy?” I asked.

“Yes, they’re drying now.” She replied while hanging my shirt. I’m glad I met Rarity, she could make me some new clothes, since I didn’t see myself wearing the same thing forever. All I had with me were my boots, a pair of jeans, boxer-briefs, socks, and an orange SouthPole brand collared shirt. I would need something new eventually. As for my current clothes, sitting in the direct sunlight, it would only take them about 25 minutes to dry, considering there was also a slight breeze. While waiting for my clothes to dry, me and Fluttershy were in her living room, relaxing. She was reading while I was being bored. I miss T.V. already, along with the internet. She was lying on her couch reading a newspaper, while I sat next to her, still in my towels, just looking around the room.

“Anything interesting in the paper?” I asked.

“No, just the usual.” She said.

“Well, what exactly is the usual here?” I asked slightly curious.

“Just articles about sports, stuff in Canterlot, and local events in Ponyville.” She replied.

I slowly slid sideways on the couch until I was lying down. Lying down out of sheer boredom. I just couldn’t think of anything to do, I don’t think I’ve ever been this bored in my life. I got up and went to check on my clothes to see if they were dry yet. They were the tiniest bit damp, but I didn’t really care too much. I put them on anyway. To help speed the drying process I decided to go flying. I bent my knees a little for take off, then I jumped as hard and as fast as I could and used all the energy I could. My take off was like the giant bungee ride at carnivals, where they strap you in to what looks like a giant slingshot and send you flying. I must’ve hit 100 miles per hour in three seconds, and I was still speeding up. I really wanted to hit my true speed limit. I kept going until I was almost at 140 miles per hour, but I kept pushing. If I wanted more speed I knew what I had to do, I had to use the Kaio-ken. I focused and concentrated hard, braced myself, then powered up to Kaio-ken. There was an instant burst of speed and acceleration, I began passing what I guessed to be 180, then 200, and finally probably 230 miles per hour. Then I was exhausted and had to stop. I cut all power and let gravity slow me, until I stalled and hovered in place. Then I fell, like a sky diver. If I wasn’t dry before, I was now. I may have been a mile up, so I had time to rest while free falling. It was pretty fun, I never tried to sky dive before. At around 1,000 feet up I powered up and hit the brakes hard. I slowed down pretty quick, and landed softly right in front of Fluttershy’s cottage.

I walked in to find her napping on the couch. I, can’t handle, the cuteness! I walked over to her, and quietly woke her up. I whispered in her ear that it was about time we started heading to the party. It was about 5:00, and the party started at 8:00, but I wanted to visit Rarity again and ask her if she could throw me together a tux or something. Me and Fluttershy quickly flew over to Rarity’s to see if she could make me something to wear.

“Of course darling! I’ll just need to get your measurements.” She said as she began to levitate a measuring tape over to me. I let her get her measurements, then she trotted over to her work desk and began laying out fabric and began cutting the pieces. She was pretty quick and talented with her work. She used her magic to lift and carry the pieces of fabric to her sewing machine and began sewing them together. In a total of five minutes she had measured, cut, and sewn together a shirt for me. In another five she had a coat done. And finally, she had made a pair of pants to match. It looked good, like a real tuxedo from home, made by a pony who had just met a human earlier that day, this tuxedo was perfect. I was very impressed.

“Well, aren’t you going to try it on?” Rarity asked me.

“Sure, do you have a dressing room?” I asked her.

“Of course dear, it’s right over there.” She said pointing at a door.

I opened the door and walked in. Yup, it certainly was a dressing room. I got all nice and dressed up, then I walked out to Fluttershy and Rarity.

“So, what do you guys think?” I asked them.

“My, you look handsome!” Rarity said, admiring her work.

“You look great Dako!” Fluttershy said smiling.

“Who’s awesome? I’m awesome!” I said grinning.

Me and Fluttershy left to go to Pinkie’s party at Sugarcube corner. Rarity said she would be there shortly, she just needed to get her own dress ready. All the other ponies in Ponyville would be there, and I was ready to make a good impression. If I could show them what I was really like, and if they would all be accepting of me, I might have a chance to make Ponyville my new home. All I had to do now, was get to the party.
