"Gotta admit," King Kai chuckled after being introduced to the group, "I didn't even know a planet like this existed. Too bad I don't know how to get here, either. I'd probably slap me down a vacation house here in a heartbeat!"
"Perhaps once this is all said and done we might be able to help with directions." Celestia answered, intrigued by the thought of interplanetary visitors, "Although I am curious as to how you managed to arrive here."
"Oh, when Princess Luna mentioned she could enter dreams, I did a little experimenting and figured what she does is a variation of astral projection. Of course, she jumps in with both feet, or all four hooves in her case, and can transfer herself physically. So, I found a quiet spot to sit down and locked onto Spike's energy signature. A little meditation later, and here I am, heh."
While most of the group looked like they weren't quite sure what he meant, Twilight was obviously giddy at the prospect of learning what could possibly be a new form of magic. Thankfully, Celestia was quick to keep things from being derailed too much. "Now, I believe the floor is Spike's, so to speak."
"Yeah, um...well, I guess first off is this." He concentrated and a figure wearing an orange coat over a black karate gi appeared.
Twilight saw the bushy white mustache and quickly recognized it as an elderly male human. "I take it that's him?" she asked, seeing the wistful look on Spike's face.
"Yeah. Girls, Mom, Luna..."
"Oh, I'm not late for the show, am I?" Discord asked, his head popping up out of Luna's mane.
"And you too, Discord." Spike added.
"Yes, Discord, Spike has just started. Now get out of my mane!" Luna responded, shaking him out, "You better not have been eating popcorn in there again. I find kernels and you are dead."
"Relax, LuLu." He replied, "My paw and claw are clean."
Spike simply shook his head. "Anyway, like I was saying, this is Gohan, Goku's and my adopted grandfather." As he said this, a small square hut with a pagoda-style roof appeared. "And that was where we lived."
"Well, I'll admit it does have a certain...rustic charm." Rarity commented, giving the building an appraising look, "Seems a tad small, though."
Spike chuckled, "A little, but aside from sleeping and eating, we spent most of our time outside. Anyhow, the whole thing started with me hearing him as I came to..."
"Came to...You were unconscious??" Celestia asked, the familiar 'mother's worry' filling her voice.
"Pretty much. I don't know if it was backlash from the magic or whacking my head on something along the way, but I was out cold when he found me."
Before any of them could responded, the scene quickly shifted...
"Ah, it looks like our guest is finally waking up." The elderly voice spoke up as he cracked his eyes open.
"Huuhhnn...?" He mumbled groggily before wincing from a sharp pain in his head, "Ow!"
"Whoa, easy there!" the voice spoke up again, "You had a nasty wound on your head when I found you. Thankfully it looked fresh then, otherwise I don't know if you would have made it." When things came into focus, he found himself laying on what looked like a mat with a blanket pulled over him.
"Wh...where am I?" he managed to get out, the fog gradually lifting. Turing to where the voice came from, he found himself face to face with an old man, "Who're you?"
"Oh, I guess I should introduce myself, shouldn't I?" The old man chuckled, "My name is Son Gohan, and this is where me and my grandson, Goku live."
"Now hold on a second." Applejack broke in, "Spike, you said his name was 'Gohan', not 'Son."
"It seems to be a cultural aspect similar to Neighponese, where they put the family name first as well." Twilight offered.
Spike quickly jerked a thumb towards her, "Yeah. What Twi said."
"My..my head?" he reached up to feel a bandaged wrapped around his head, hissing a little at how tender it felt.
"Indeed." The old man said, "I found you out near the bamboo grove not far from here. Unfortunately, it looks like you may have had a run-in with bandits and they took everything you had. You didn't have a stitch of clothing on. Luckily I never got rid of that spare nightshirt."
He looked at Gohan before lifting the sheet to check. His current attire looked at least two sizes too big for him, "Oh. Uh, and thanks for finding me."
Gohan chuckled, "I certainly couldn't just leave you out there, little dragon."
"What...? D..dragon??" His voice was steeped in confusion
"Well, of course." Gohan responded, reaching over to pick up a nearby mirror, "You definitely match the description for one. Although, I will admit I've never seen one as young as you."
His eyes widened as he looked at his reflection: a reptilian face, covered in scales and a row of small, blunt spikes running along the top of his head, "I'm a dragon?"
"As much as I'm an old man." Gohan replied, "Which reminds me; you know my name, but I'm afraid I don't know yours. For that matter, what brings you out to these parts?"
"Oh, it's S-Spike. My name's Spike. I'm here...here..." he tried to give an answer only to come up blank every time, "I...don't know why I'm here."
"Well, where are you from?"
Spike looked at him in hopelessness, "I don't know that either..."
"Oh, yeah." Spike chuckled nervously as every head swiveled towards him, "Did I forget to mention that I woke up with a bit of amnesia?" he scratched the back of his neck, "About ten years before I really started to remember anything"
"Something tells me a little forewarning would've helped, Spike." King Kai deadpanned.
Finally back on track I see. Awesome!
I'm pretty sure EVERYTHING Spike learned with Goku won't fly here in Equestria. As far as I know, combat magic is illegal and the ones who know how to use combat magic suck eggs and then some.
One minor suggestion.
Neighponese works better than Japaneighese. Derived from Nippon, Japan as written in Japanese.
7256527 Technically, it's Ki-based techniques they use. not magic.
7256532 Yeah, that does seem a little better.
7256547 Oh. Can anyone learn how to use ki-based techs?
7256561 Most likely, After all, Gohan taught Videl how to fly.
"THIS IS AMAZING!!"

Well as far as I know, Ki is the energy that you need to live, or that made live in the universe possible in the first place as we know Goku can use Ki from planets to form his Genki Dama.
So as long you train you can use it.
But this story is awesome, can't wait for the next chapter.
will he get a visit from the other DB characters? Like Goku or Vegeta?
7256908 you'll have to wait and see.
But if the dragonballls can bring back the dead,
then can't Goku and the others use them to find where we are in the universe?
Had to make a wish to get my old memories back first
so far so good. I wish you could update more frequently, but I understand all too well how much of a pain in the beehive it can be when your muse refuses to co-operate. Looking forward to more.
Pretty interestin' start to Spike's story tellin' so far . Can't wait to see what happens next as said Dragon re-counts his adventures
7257655 How's the next chapter coming along?
Update?
This is really interesting. A little dispointed that the chapters are somewhat short. You know im actually waiting for their reactions to Master Roshi and all he does(including his training) and strangly i hope you include the bacteria and Krillin fight
I wish you would include Dragon Ball Super aswell. Spike may have leftearth after battle of Gods and missed the resurrection of Frieza. When the Universe 6 vs 7 tournament starts Spike is recruited to Beerus team and would be interesting if equestria is actually in the middle of both universe 6 and 7 instead of the planet and the tournament takes and well the tournament happends there
Excellent story so far.
I would find it hilarious if spike found a method of tapping into the same energy that Shenron and the dragon balls use as his own major transformation or possible even god Ki considering how powerful the celestial dragons are.
Not many fanfics crossover with DBZ when Goku was young - and you do it pretty good indeed.
Maybe Spike should later check whether there is a version of Goku in Equestria?
