> Equestria's Ginyu Force > by Theyellowninja13 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Arrival of the Ginyu Force > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 'How much longer are we going to have to wait here!' 'Shut up Burter. I have a good feeling we'll be free soon.' I reply to my speedy companion. Little did they know that I actually was a fan of this show, so I could tell that the Canterlot Invasion will happen soon. What I can't believe though, is that we went to a comic con, dressed up as the Ginyu Force from our favorite show Dragonball Z, and soon came across a merchant that sold us each a Ginyu Force token. When we each held the token, we were engulfed in a bright light, and woke up in Equestria as the Ginyu Force. While we tried to figure out where we were, we also tried to figure out how to use our powers, but destroyed a lot of stuff doing so. Ghastly Gorge wasn't always like that. Eventually, the Princesses found us after they stoned Discord, and stoned us. 'Hey guys, look!' I heard Jeice say. Well, he couldn't speak, but since we were stoned together, we can communicate with each other. 'What is that! It looks like a bunch of bugs are breaking through the shield thing!' Out of the edges of my eyes, I could see the shield crack, before being destroyed completely. 'Whatever they are, they sure look ugly.' 'You can say that again.' 'There seems to be a lot of them. In the thousands, it seems like.' As my companions were talking about the changelings, almost half an hour passed, and soon we noticed two changelings walking up to the statue garden we're at. Smiling to myself, I decide to make a bet. 'Hey men. I bet ya two chocolate bars that those two creatures will somehow free us.' 'I doubt it Captain. They don't look like they would let us out.' 'You're gonna be out two chocolate bars, Captain.' 'I'm not sensing a very high power level from them. They're too weak to be able to reverse the energy those two winged unicorns used on us.' 'What? Those ugly things?! I bet they're too stupid to even figure out how to put toothpaste on in the morning!' While we all sweat-dropped from Jeice's comment, the changelings walked over to our statue. "Hey Frank?" The one on the left asked. "Yeah Guwarshnetechilyjimmyhoffaqubertasondrewdudebluecarterman number 985278244521865286515625.15124857281?" The one on the right responded. 'Who in the blazes has a name like that?' "Aw come on Frank. We've been best buddies for years. You don't have to call me by the shorter version of my name." We all sweat-dropped at that. 'Man! If that's the shorter version of his name, I'm not sure if I want to hear the full version of it!' "Well, it's easier to say than the full version. So, what did you want to ask me?" Frank asked. "Look at this statue. What do you think they are? And why would Celestia put a statue of such ugly creatures in stupid positions so close to the castle?" Guwarshnetechilyjimmyhoffaqubertasondrewdudebluecarterman number 985278244521865286515625.15124857281 asked. 'Hey! No one insults our choreography! You wouldn't know how challenging it was to pose like this right as we were being stoned!' Frank pointed out a small sign at our base. "It says right here that these five were monsters that destroyed everything in their path 1000 years ago. They were supposedly as strong as Celestia and Luna, maybe even stronger." Frank took a step back. "Well, they don't look that tough. I bet that the cowardly yellow and pink pony would be able to beat them." Right as he said that, our statue started cracking, as the energy from the battles happening throughout the city fueled our escape. The two changelings noticed it only when it was too late, and we were already free. "So... you think our choreography is stupid, do you?" I said in my voice that sounds both serious, and that I'm chuckling at the same time. I stepped off the podium that our statue was on, walking over to the slowly retreating changelings, while cracking my knuckles. When I stop walking, the changelings immediately bolt. I chuckle, as I raise my right pointer finger, charging up my energy in it. "Well, your opinion has been noted. Have a nice day." I fire an accurate blast of ki at Guwarshnetechilyjimmyhoffaqubertasondrewdudebluecarterman number 985278244521865286515625.15124857281's skull. To my surprise, Frank stopped, and ran over to his friend's body. "GUWARSHNETECHILYJIMMYHOFFAQUBERTASONDREWDUDEBLUECARTERMAN NUMBER 985278244521865286515625.15124857281 NOOOOOOO!" Frank yelled, as he stood over his dead friend's body (who actually was unconscious), tears mixing in with the rain (that just appeared) on the ground. He then stood up, looked straight at me, before yelling again. "YOU JERK! TAKE MY LIFE NOW! I CAN'T LIVE IN A WORLD WITHOUT MY BEST FRIEND!" I sighed, before firing a shot of equal ki power at Frank's head, instantly knocking him out. After he fell down, the rain stopped and I turned around to my companions, before sighing. "That's always so hard to do. I always have to make sure my blasts aren't lethal. But the Ginyu in me wants to kill." Recoome walks up to me, placing a hand on my shoulder. "It's okay, captain. As long as we don't kill unless to protect another. You remember the pro..." I cut off Recoome's sentence. "Yeah. I remember our promise to Surprise." The memories of that event centuries ago were easily remembered as if they happened yesterday. We just got back to secret base we created with the help of a Capsule Corp capsule we found. As we entered our base, tired from our practice, trying to get used to these new bodies, we saw Surprise staring at us like a deer caught in a headlight. Her face was covered in chocolate, and she had many of the wrappers that once held said chocolate around her. "Uh... this isn't what this looks like?" She nervously replied. She calmed down when we all burst out laughing at the sight of the pony we found in the Everfree forest when she was just a foal, and raised until she was a full grown mare. "You know if you eat anymore chocolate, you're going to start teleporting everywhere and pulling items out of nowhere because of your sugar rush." I said, chuckling. Surprise, seeing that we weren't going to punish her for eating some of our favorite chocolate, relaxed, and ran over to us, curious about what we did. When she asked, We all looked at each other nervously. Before we could respond, Surprise figured it out. "You accidentally killed another pony?" She said, with a hint of sadness in her voice. We all looked down at the floor. "Sorry. We were just trying to train in the forest, away from the populations, but a group of ponies, trying to hunt us walked right into where the blast was going to be. We'll try better next time. Honest." "You better. I want to you promise me that you won't kill an innocent sentient creature, unless to protect another. That means even taking your own blasts to protect them." Surprise said in a completely serious tone, which looked silly because of the chocolate on her face. "I promise." All five of us said at the same time. Surprise didn't look convinced. "Surprise Promise." She said in a serious tone again. With smiles on our faces as we went through the rituals of the Surprise Promise Surprise made, Surprise's frown turned upside down. "Swear upon our heart, and dream to fly, stuff a chocolate bar in our eye." Standing back up straight again, I gave a small smile to my companions. "Speaking of chocolate bars." I held my hand out, waiting for the chocolate. I heard them all sigh, and blame Recoome for reminding me. When that was sorted out, we all looked over at Canterlot Castle, preparing to make up for our mistakes. "Well come on men! We got a kingdom to save!" We flew into the sky, preparing for our entrance. "You won't get away with this!" Princess Celestia yelled. "Twilight and her friends will-" Celestia was cut off when the doors opened to reveal the mane six. Chrysalis chuckled, before responding. "You were saying?" She was about to turn to her changelings, to order them, when five loud bangs were heard, and five figures appeared in the room. Chrysalis stared at them with curiosity, and when the dust cleared, she burst out laughing. "Oh Celestia, is this your back up plan? A bunch of ugly looking freaks." Chrysalis didn't notice Celestia's frightened face, as Chrysalis commanded her changelings to attack. The changelings all dog piled the Ginyu Force, and it appeared that the changelings won, but that thought was destroyed, when a giant purple blast of ki knocked them all back, and killed them in the process. Chrysalis looked shocked for a minute, before asking the inevitable question. "What are you?" The Ginyu Force responded by each striking a pose, and each saying their names, before all getting together into one last pose. This caused Chrysalis to start laughing again. "This is your backup Celestia! A bunch of stupid and ugly stage performers! How low have you fallen Celestia?" Chrysalis once again failed to see the look of terror on Celestia's face, but turned to face the Ginyu Force, and stepped forward. "I'll take care of this easily." Chrysalis was about to charge forward when the Ginyu Force were all facing each other, talking, but was stopped when a burst of purple ki shot through her leg, slightly injuring it. "Wait your turn bug. We have important business to take care of." When Chrysalis wondered what they thought was more important than fighting her, her question was answered when she saw most of the Ginyu Force doing rock, paper, scissors. While everyone in the room sweat-dropped, the Ginyu Force continued unstopped. "Rock, paper, scissors!" "Rock, paper, scissors!" "Rock, paper, scissors!" "Rock, paper, scissors!" "Rock, paper, scissors!" "Rock, paper, scissors!" "Rock, paper, scissors!" "Rock, paper, scissors!" "Yeah! I win!" Jeice yelled. As he walked forward, closer to Chrysalis, he taunted his teammates. "Better luck next time mates!" He looked over at Chrysalis. "You ready to fight now bug?!" With a roar, Chrysalis charged forward, and all the ponies in the room covered their eyes, expecting the Brench-seijin to be killed. But when they heard Chrysalis yelp in pain, they opened their eyes to see Jeice was still standing there, with a smile on his face. Chrysalis was laying down in a pile a few feet away, and looked like she has been through Tartarus and back. "H-how?" Chrysalis asked, straining herself trying to stand back up. "That's what you get when you mess with the Ginyu Force!" Then, to the surprise of everyone, Jeice flew at Chrysalis at high speeds, before stopping in front of her, and tapping his fingers on her head, instantly knocking out the Changeling Queen. Jeice then fired a beam of ki at Celestia, and surprised everyone again, when the beam didn't harm Celestia, but cut the shell that she was trapped in. Celestia quickly jumped out of the remains of the shell that once held her, and charged up her horn, preparing to fight the Ginyu Force. She stopped the spell she was just about to cast, when Captain Ginyu walked in front of the others, and held out his hand. "We don't want to fight Celestia. We want to live in peace." Ginyu pointed his finger at Twilight, before firing a ki blast at the ground right at the lavender unicorn's hooves. "But follow us, and I won't miss next time." Then, the group disappeared from the room. > Ponies in Danger > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- We quickly flew out of the castle, and eventually left Canterlot all together. As we were flying to our destination, I heard one of my team speak up. "Hey Captain?! Where we heading to?" I mentally sigh, remembering a time when Jeice wasn't like that. A time before we got our powers, and was sent to this world. "Come on guys! I want to see what kinds of items they have!" Jeice exclaimed. I don't remember his name, and can barely remember what he looked like without the costume. "Don't worry, the convention doesn't close for a few hours." I reassure my friend. We were walking through the building, heading to the room where the convention is mostly taking place. "Ya, you shouldn't worry too much." Recoome responded, and we finally entered the room, only to be in shock of all the people there. "Whoa! There must be a thousand people in here!" Guldo exclaimed. As I tried to close my jaw, I nodded in agreement with Guldo. "Well come on guys! There must be all kinds of cool things to buy!" Burter yelled as he ran forward to go buy some stuff. This was the first convention we have ever been to. After Burter disappeared, the others all split up, leaving me on my own. I chuckled at my friends' silliness, before walking forward, and checking out some of the items. From time to time, someone would ask for my picture from how good my costume is. Eventually, we all met up again a few hours later, and we were about to leave, before we found an interesting stall. The merchant looked like the salesman from the Pokemon anime. As we were looking at his wares, he noticed all the interesting things he had. He had a complete set of Earth Dragon balls, complete replicas of all of Goku's fighting suits, a set of all kinds of Pokeballs, a Pokedex from each region, both of the swords that Gohan and Trunks used, and much more items from different animes. But the items that stood out the most were the Ginyu Force medallions. "I see you noticed some of my wares." The merchant said, snapping me out of my staring at the medallions. I coughed into my gloved hand, before asking. "How much for the Ginyu Force medallions?" The merchant looked over my friends and I, before responding. "About five dollars each." My eyes widen, and I quickly pull out my wallet, handing him 25 dollars, and receiving the five badges for each of my friends. "Thank you." I respond to the merchant, before turning around, and giving each of my friends a badge. "Check it out guys." I held out the badge I decided to keep. "The craftsmanship on these things is amazing." Suddenly, everything went white. We later woke up in the middle of the Everfree forest, and as the Ginyu Force members we dressed up as. Eventually, while testing out our powers, we came across a young foal who was left without her parents. We raised her (and named her after the g1 pony who she resembled), and she lived with us in a base we made using a capsule corp capsule we found. And because of our appearance, and the accidental destruction of a town, we were forced to live in the forest, always being chased by the two princesses and the ponies. At one point, we found an ancient decayed room deep within the Everfree. While searching through it, we noticed it looked destroyed, and the other things readable in it were a sign saying; Property of Co Sm Ic, which we had no idea what to think of, and a book talking about a group of people called Displaced. Eventually, after reading through it, we realized that we were Displaced, and decided to make a 'token' to help out anyone else who might of been Displaced. The token was the Ginyu Force symbol, the same kind we got from the 'Merchant.' I think the saying on it went something like this; We are the Ginyu Force Yeah, and we'll help those who need it! So if you ever need help Just hold the token and call for us And we'll show your enemies the true meaning of Tokusentai! But if you ever try to get us to do evil, you better run, or you'll feel the full force of the... GINYU FORCE! I snap out of my thoughts and memories, to answer Jeice. "We're heading to our base. Who knows what kind of condition it would be in after a thousand years of neglect." When we got above the forest, we landed, just to make sure that any ponies watching wouldn't know the exact location of our base. After about a minute of walking, Recoome spoke up. "I don't know Captain, this forest feels different than it did before." The others murmured agreement, and before I could respond, we heard a loud scream coming from up ahead. We started running, until we came to the edge of a clearing, where we saw a grey pony with a blonde mane, and weird eyes slowly back up from a bunch of wooden wolves. "We got to help her!" Guldo exclaimed, and we all agreed, and charged out, blasting each of the Timberwolves into dust with ki blasts, knowing from experience that the Timberwolves might form back together if we leave them parts to form together from. Once all the Timberwolves were defeated, I ran over to the pony. Well, it wasn't running necessarily, because it would have looked to anyone else that I just appeared in front of her, with only a few cartoonish lines to show my 'teleportation.' But, once I got a good look at the pony, I realized that it was none other than Derpy Hooves/Ditzy Doo. Her wing was bent in a direction it shouldn't be pointing it, and her body was covered in bruises. But what surprised me was that her eyes, while still 'derpy,' didn't show a bit of fear, meaning she doesn't think I'll harm her. Giving a small smile, I bent down, and placed one hand on her 'shoulder,' and spoke calming words as I tried to set her wing back to normal. "It's going to be okay. I don't want to hurt you." She nodded, and with a loud crack, I pulled her wing back into a more correct position, and then sent some of my own energy into her, healing her wounds, and fixing the wing. Patting her on the shoulder, I spoke again. "There, good as new. But let me take you to the closest town, as your body should still take a while to fully heal." She nodded, and I gently picked her up, before placing my fingers against my head, and used Instant Transmission to place her on the edge of Ponyville. As I moved my fingers to 'teleport' back to my friends, Derpy stopped me with a basket of muffins that magically appeared. Smiling, I took the muffins, and without another word, used Instant Transmission to get back to my friends. When I got back to the forest, we started walking again, and I went back into my thoughts, remembering the times shortly after we came to this world, and tried to learn the abilities of our characters. But, when trying to learn how to use some of the Z-fighters' abilities, we found them much harder to learn. Except Instant Transmission and the Kamehameha. Those are some of the easiest to do. Probably because everyone could do them. Cell could. Majin Buu could. But the easiest to do were our bodies usual energy attacks. I chuckled at the memories of us learning how to do our attacks. It was mostly the cause of why most ponies hated us. "You got this Recoome!" Burter called out to our friend, as he stood before us, facing a mountain in the distance. "Yeah yeah." He said with a wave of his hand, but we could tell he was getting nervous. He looked back at the mountain, before starting the poses, and shouting. "Recoome... Eraser Gun!" A large red beam came out of his mouth, and shot towards the distance. Now, at this time, we have been practicing how to use basic energy attacks. Just throwing small balls of energy at obstacles. But, we decided to try and use our more powerful special attacks, which the knowledge of how to use seemed to be imprinted in each of our brains. But, we all stared at the giant beam, shocked, as it not only destroyed the mountain, but the city several thousand miles behind the mountain. "Oops." Was all Recoome said, as we realized our existence on this planet might finally be figured out, and we'll be hunted. "Get back here monsters!" Yelled the giant white magic alicorn, as we ran from her, and a gathering of several thousand royal guards. "Nope!" I yelled back, as we hurriedly ran from the ponies. Now, you may be asking, 'why didn't we fly?' or 'why didn't we use our weirdly fast speeds?' Well... we forgot about that stuff. The princess was starting to catch up now, and we weren't making any progress. But finally, someone came up with an idea. "Guys! I'm gonna try something!" Guldo yelled, and when we turned our heads, that Guldo stopped in front of the currently furious Princess, before yelling, and freezing not only freezing Celestia in time, but the entire group of royal guards. Once he did it though, we remembered about our powers, and we booked it out of there at super sonic speeds. "What the crap is that thing!" Jeice exclaimed, as we all jumped out of the way of a giant purple paw. "It looks like a constellation." Burter yelled back, as he flew up, and through several ki blasts in its face. "It looks similar to the constellation Ursa Major!" Guldo yelled, as he stopped time around the Ursa Major, before it completely broke free of the time stasis field as if it was nothing. I quickly flew a good distance away from the giant space bear destroying the forest near our impromptu base. When I was a sufficient distance away, I pulled both my hands behind me, and charged a good amount of ki in between my hands, before pushing it forward in a powerful blast. "KAMEHAMEHA!!!" The blast collided with the Ursa's face, and the Ursa just shrugged it off. I flew back to my team, before speaking. "My attack barely did anything. Does anyone know any stronger ki attacks we can use?" "I got one!" Jeice exclaimed. He looked to Burter, and they both nodded a second later before flying up, and away from each other. They then covered their bodies in energy, before flying at each other, and circling around each other fast enough to create a purple vortex. Then, several blasts of energy came out at high speeds, driving the Ursa Major back. After a full minute of constant barrage, the Ursa gave up on making us food, before running away. Burter and Jeice landed, and we all high-fived each other. "Guards! Come quickly! We've found them!" We heard the voice of Celestia in the distance, and started running through the forest. We continue running for a few more minutes, before we heard a loud yell, and an even louder roar. We got past the trees in time to see a zebra running from a giant T-rex. "Oh yeah, I forgot that those exist here." I said out loud. Then, I burst out of the trees, flying up to the T-rex's face, before delivering a powerful punch to it's face, dazing it, before kicking it out into the distance. "Gotta love how dinosaurs are weaker than you expect." I quickly flew down, and landed next to the zebra. 'Zecora?' The zebra looked up at me, before smiling. "I must thank you, I was gathering up ingredients for my stew. Then the monster tried to make a meal out of me. And because of you, it'll see that it should leave this area be." "No problem miss." I said with a smile on my face. "I would never be able to turn down a cry for help." "Now, I hope you don't mind, but could you tell me what is your kind?" Zecora asked out of curiosity. But when she did, my face fell. "I... I don't know." I spoke solemnly. But then I perked up again, and responded. "But my name is Captain Ginyu, and I can the captain of the esteemed Ginyu Force!" And right as I said that, we all posed at once. Zecora giggled a bit, before responding. "Well, a captain you are, I can see." She looked up at the setting sun, before her eyes widened. "Excuse me, but I must leave, for I must get back to my house for my herbal tea." She then started galloping back to her hut without another word. "What a weird little zebra." Recoome stated. "Yeah, she kept on rhyming when she spoke. What's with that? Who speaks and rhymes while doing it?" Jeice added. I sighed, before walking again. "Maybe it's just her culture or a curse or something. Now let's continue to our base." "Well, we're here." I said, once I noticed that we arrived at the secret entrance to our base. It looked like a normal side of a small mountain, but when I walked forward, and put my hand on a hidden scanner on the rock wall, the rocks glowed faintly for a second, before some of the rocks disappeared, and we entered our base, before closing the wall again, in case the ponies try and find us. "Aw jeeze, just look at all these webs! I'm gonna get dust in my hair!" Jeice exclaimed as he coughed into a small tissue or something. Burter chuckled, before responding. "Hey, at least you got hair." We all started laughing at that, as we continued walking. Eventually, after passing through the very thick layers of spider webs, we arrived at the blast proof wall that leads into our actual base. After much hard work, we got the door to open, to see that the entire interior of our base was covered in dust and spider webs. Sighing, I flicked on the light switch next to the door, to see the lights slowly flicker on, and the power to be restored to the entire structure. Which was stupid to do, because the entire place is covered in a thousand year dust, and I just activated the fans, which blew the centuries of dust into our faces. By the time I wiped the dust off and could see again, I noticed the entire base was somehow no longer covered in dust and spider webs, and now just looks somewhat destroyed. Some of the couches are torn open, one table is flipped over, and the kitchen is completely empty. "Check it out guys!" Jeice exclaimed, and we ran over to him, to see that our stash of chocolate bars was still closed, and should be full of well preserved chocolatey goodness. But when we opened it, we all burst out crying. There was no chocolate. Next time on Equestria's Ginyu Force When the Princesses send the Elements of Harmony to stop the Ginyu Force, can our heroes convince the ponies of the truth? And what is going to happen to Recoome! Join us next time on Dragonball Z! Equestria's Ginyu Force! > What Would Yamcha Do? > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The ponies watched this 'Ginyu Force' leave by flying away, and all eyes turned to Celestia for answers. "Princess, what were those ponies?" Twilight Sparkle, Princess Celestia's prized pupil asked. The Princess of the Sun sighed, before walking over to Chrysalis and spoke. "I tried to tell you. You should have listened." Then Celestia's horn lit up, before she gasped. "She's alive?! But they've never left anypony alive. This must be some kind of trick." Chrysalis glowed with the same color of Celestia's horn, before disappearing. Celestia turned to face her subjects. "Element Bearers, Princess Cadence, Captain Armor, come with me." Celestia walked over through a door, and the Bearers of the Elements of Harmony, along with the Princess of Love, and the Captain of the Royal Guard all looked between each other, before quickly following their princess. Princess Celestia led them to a rarely used war room, before she closed the doors and cast a magical spell over the room to prevent spying. When she turned back to face the confused ponies, they all backed up when they saw her glare. Twilight Sparkle gulped, before walking forward. "Princess, can you tell us who those creatures were?" Celestia sighed, before responding. "Soon after Discord was defeated, five strange creatures showed up." Celestia's horn glowed, creating a magical hologram of the Ginyu Force. Rainbow Dash spoke up as she saw the Ginyu Force. "They don't look so tough. I bet I could take them in ten seconds flat." She quieted down when she saw Celestia's angry glare. "No you couldn't. They killed countless innocents, and destroyed towns with ease. We almost caught them a few times, but they always managed to escape." The ponies all gasped, while Celestia's horn glowed, changing the hologram to show just the small green creature in the Ginyu Force. "We managed to get some intelligence on them back then. This is Guldo. He seems to be the physically weakest of all of them, but what he lacks for in strength, he makes up in abilities. He has the ability to stop time for everything except him, and has other abilities similar to magic, without using magic. He has been known to be able to preform telekinesis, read minds, and detect life forms nearby." "But how can a creature like that have powers that even the most gifted of unicorns couldn't preform?!" Twilight Sparkle exclaimed, a few hairs on her mane springing up. "As far as we can tell, each one of them has the ability to use something called ki. We believe they managed to master the art of using the life energy in them to fight and destroy." All the ponies gasped. "But the closest anypony has gotten to controlling their energy is Hercule the Earth Pony!" Shining Armor exclaimed, bringing up the well known historical figure Hercule, who was the strongest Earth Pony in history. They said he could break out of powerful unicorns magical grip, and not be affected by hurricanes the most powerful Pegasi made. Hercule managed to control a small portion of his energy to make himself incredibly strong, and preform powerful attacks, some of which were creating small explosives with his own energy. "Well, it seems that the Ginyu Force has a much better control over their energy. They've been seen being able to fire large blasts of energy, while shouting what we could assume to be ancient words that give them power." Celestia spoke, and then used her magic to teleport a book into the room, before giving it to Twilight Sparkle. "My faithful student Twilight Sparkle. That book contains all the information on the Ginyu Force. Who each of them are, and the abilities each have, as well as the words they've said while using their energy. I want you to study that book, and perhaps find a way to control your own energy to be able to stop them from another rampage." Celestia's horn lit up again, bringing up a hologram of a tall man with red hair. "This is Recoome. He is one of the strongest of the entire group." She brought up a tall blue man. "Burter, the fastest of the group, and the 'Fastest in the universe.' Be careful around him because he has the speed to back it up." Rainbow Dash's ears perked up at that. Celestia brought up a small red man with white hair. "Jeice, he usually works with Burter in creating devastating attacks." Then finally, she brought up a purple man with two spikes on his head. "And this is their leader. Captain Ginyu. He is the strongest and fastest of the entire group, but never usually fights, preferring his teammates to determine who fights." "But Princess. Even with this book, how are we supposed to fight monsters like those!" Twilight Sparkle exclaimed. "The Elements of Harmony seem to work on them, as they were turned to stone by them." Celestia brought in the chest containing the Elements of Harmony, before bringing them over to the Bearers of the Elements of Harmony. "We believe they have a base deep within the Everfree Forest, but we haven't found it. I would like you six to venture into the forest, and stop them." "Aww yeah! Another adventure!" Rainbow Dash said excitedly while pumping her hoof. The Bearers of the Elements of Harmony started leaving the room to head back to Ponyville to prepare. When they all left, the only ones left in the room with Celestia were Shining Armor and Princesses Cadence. "Aunt Celestia. Can we just ask the guardian to help? I mean he is the guardian of the planet." Cadence asked. Celestia sighed, and responded. "No. I'm sorry my niece. But it looks like we'll have to leave this to the Bearers." Cadence nodded, before walking out with Shining Armor. When the doors closed, Celestia shivered in fear. "Pecking order." Deep within the Everfree Forest, a small ancient container containing 30 mysterious seeds and a strange liquid finally fell out of a container hanging precariously on a branch. The container collided with the ground, shattering it, and causing the seeds to be covered in dirt and the strange liquid. A few seconds later, the ground around that area started shaking, before 30 green pods emerge from the ground, before growing themselves into small green alien bodies. They all looked around, before speaking to each other in a language only they understand. They all nodded, before running into the depths of the woods. "So, what do you think Captain?" Jeice asked me, as I looked around at our collective work on cleaning up our base. The base now looked similar to how it looked when we first created it. All the rooms were devoid of spider webs, and all the furniture was put back in it's right place. The only thing really missing was our pictures we had in portraits, and the food. We think maybe Surprise took them when she left after hearing of our stoning. "It looks good, men. Just like how I remember it." I said with a smile on my face. But suddenly, Recoome came up to me, holding a piece of paper. "Look Captain. I found a note." I take the note, before reading it out loud. Dear Ginyu Force, If you're reading this, then that means that you finally escaped from your unjust imprisonment. I don't know what it would be like to be turned to stone, so I don't know if you've had any awareness while stoned. But while writing this letter, you've been imprisoned for over a year. I've tried keeping the base clean, but this note is to say that I'm leaving the base behind. I hope you read this at some point, and it doesn't get destroyed. But the reason why I'm leaving is because I made a family, and I have a child. My husband and I got a big piece of land on a quarry, where we plan on building a rock farm. Well, that's what everyone else thinks. As you know, I wouldn't want to live on a rock farm for the rest of my life, so I'm planning on building something underneath the land. Whenever you finally get to read this, please come to the rock farm someday, and check it out. You'll know how to get to it when you get there. We'll probably never see each other again, because I'll be dead by the time you're free, but I want you to look over my descendents and protect them. With lots of love, Surprise When I finished reading it out loud, we were all heavily crying. We were in this universe for an entire year before we found Surprise. We raised her from a small foal into a young mare and we always considered her a part of our crazy family, even if we aren't a family, and nothing but a simple tokusentai. But when Surprise got old enough, she was able to venture into towns and get supplies we needed like food and chocolate bars. We even tried to teach her how to use ki, but found out ponies can't due to having magic. After a few minutes of crying over the memories of Surprise, I looked up to see the rest of the Ginyu Force doing the same. Except Jeice, who was somehow holding a muffin. "Jeice?" "Yes, Captain?" He asked like there was nothing wrong. "Where did you get the muffin?" We were out of supplies to even make food, so he shouldn't have been able to make a muffin. "Muffin button." 'What.' "Jeice, how many times do I need to tell you were not supposed to be the TFS Ginyu Force. We're Funimation." I said, shaking my head at the silliness of my men. "That may be Captain, but we still have elements of TFS in us and this world. Like him." Upon mentioning that name, we all shivered. "Shouldn't we go and get some food for the base? I'm getting pretty hungry." Guldo pointed out, and we all stared at him for a second, expecting a certain thing to come out of nowhere and hit him on the head. "You're right. We might be able to steal from the nearby town once it's dark." I made my way to the exit, and my men followed me. "Are we there yet?" Pinkie asked. "No." Everyone else responded. "Are we there yet?" "No." "Are we there yet?" "No." "Are we there yet?" "No!" "Are we there yet?" "No!" "Are we there yet?" "NO!" "Are we there ye-" Pinkie was cut off as a beam of energy pierced her leg. "GAH! Owwie!" "Pinkie! Are you okay?!" Rarity asked, as the others look around for the source. "It must be those Ginyu guys. Only monsters like them would attack us like this!" Rainbow said, staying a few feet in the air, before another beam went straight through her wing, causing her to fall to the ground in pain. "Rainbow!" Twilight yelled, as she lit up her horn revealing the culprits. The ponies looked around in fear as 30 strange small creatures surrounded them, all laughing in their strange language. "What are those varmits! 'Shy, you have any idea?!" Applejack asked, trying to keep an eye on all the Saibamen surrounding them. "I have no idea. I've never seen any creature like them before." Fluttershy squeaked, being totally afraid during this situation. Twilight quickly pulled out the book Celestia gave her, and scrolled through it before stopping on a certain page. "Aha! It says here that these are Saibamen. They mysteriously appeared once a thousand years ago. They were thought to be connected to the Ginyu Force, but there was never any proof as they were never seen together. When questioned, the Ginyu Force didn't even seem aware of their existence." "That's great and all Twi, but how do we fight them!" Applejack yelled, trying to get her friend to hurry. "It says that they are incredibly strong, and hard to defeat even if outnumbered. So we don't stand a chance, unless we get luc...AGH!" Twilight screamed in pain, as she was slapped into a tree by two Saibamen, causing the tree to crack in half, and most of Twilight's bones to break. "Twilight!" Was all Applejack had time to yell, before she was tackled by five Saibamen, which held her down, as Vegeta Jr. threw punch after punch into Applejack's face, breaking her nose, and giving her two black eyes. "Get off her you monsters!" Rainbow Dash yelled, as she charged at Vegeta Jr. but was tackled by another Saibamen who broke each of Rainbow Dash's legs. "Monsters as dreadful as you cannot be allowed to exist!" Rarity yelled, as she threw fragile gems at the Saibamen, before they fired an energy barrage at Rarity, covering her in soot, and leaving her heavily injured. "No one hurts my friends." The Saibamen all looked over, to see Pinkie has turned into Pinkamena, and was wielding a sharp knife. She charged at the nearest Saibamen, but received a powerful punch to the face that knocked her out, and gave her a concussion. "No! Leave my friends alone, you... you meanies!" Fluttershy yelled, activating her Stare, which did nothing to the Saibamen, except single her out to be attacked next. A Saibamen appeared right behind her, and latched it's arms underneath her barrel, before pulling her up, allowing another Saibamen to deliver brutal punches straight into Fluttershy's gut. Until it was destroyed in a beam attack. "How about you fight someone with a high power level?" A voice called out, and then Recoome and the other Ginyu Force appeared, watching as Recoome started to fight the Saibamen, because he won Rock-Paper-Scissors. Almost all the Saibamen who weren't attacking the ponies charged at the red-headed fighter. They were instantly destroyed with a few well placed punches. "You call that an attack? I'll show you how to attack!" Faster than the ponies could react, all the other Saibamen were on the ground, dead. "Good job Recoome!" Captain Ginyu yelled out to his friend. But to everyone watching's surprise, the last remaining Saibamen jumped out, and grabbed onto Recoome's back. "RECOOME!" The entire Ginyu Force yelled, all concerned over their friend, as they watched the Saibamen blow up quicker than they could react, and Recoome was on the ground, bleeding to death. They all rushed to their friend's aid. "Recoome! Don't die on us man!" Ginyu yelled, before Jeice realized something. "Hey Captain! I just remembered!" Jeice pulled out a small brown bag. "Those Senzu beans!" They got some Senzu beans a while back before Celestia and Luna destroyed the only way to make more. Ginyu quickly grabbed the bag, and opened it, noticing six beans. Ginyu's face paled, as he counted the number of injured ponies around him. "There's not enough." "What are you talkin' 'bout Captain! Of course there's enough for Recoome! Just give him one!" Jeice shut up when Ginyu gave him an angry glare. Ginyu sighed, before standing up, and walking over to Twilight Sparkle, who was on the ground, also bleeding pretty badly. "You six didn't ask for this. You don't deserve to die." Then, to everyone's surprise, Ginyu stuffed a Senzu bean in Twilight's mouth, and forced her to chew. "Hey monster! What did you give Twilight! Some kind of poison!" Rainbow Dash yelled, being concerned about her friend's safety. But she shut up when Twilight stood back up, not a single injury on her. "What was that!" Twilight exclaimed as she looked over her completely healed body. "It was amazing!" Ginyu was already stuffing one into Applejack's face, when he answered. "Senzu beans. They can fully fill up your stomach and completely heal you, even from life-threatening injuries." "Those are some mighty fancy beans! Where did you get them!" Applejack exclaimed, as she looked over her healed body. Ginyu stuffed one into Rarity and Fluttershy's mouths. "Korin's tower. These are the last six Senzu beans, as your Princesses destroyed the only way to make more." Ginyu stuffed the last two into Pinkie and Rainbow Dash's mouths. "But wait! If you used all of your 'Senzu beans' on us, then how are you going to save your friend! He looks like he needs one more than us!" Twilight exclaimed, not understanding why a terrorist is helping them. "You weren't supposed to be brought into this conflict. You don't deserve to die because of something that is our fault." Ginyu simply said, as he walked back over to Recoome, dropping the empty bag on the ground. "And our old adopted family member Surprise always reminded us that we should try to right our wrongs, and save lives that we put in danger." "Wait! You knew Surprise! That's the name of my ancestor!" Pinkie exclaimed, having turned back into Pinkie, and is now no longer Pinkamena. "You're one of the descendants of Surprise?!" Ginyu yelled in surprise. "Yeppi-runi! She told a story that was passed down about how she was raised in an odd family who were considered monsters, but were just confused ponies given powers they didn't want or expect." Pinkie looked down for a second. "She must have meant you five!" She jumped back up. "What does that mean?" Twilight asked. "She said 'confused ponies given powers they didn't want or expect.' What does that mean?" Ginyu was about to answer, before he heard Recoome groan. "Oh crap! Recoome!" Ginyu ran over to him, before trying to put some of his energy into him, only to see that it wasn't working. "Stay with us bud, You can't die on us." Ginyu quickly turned his head, to face the ponies. "I'm sorry, but can you six try to imprison us another time? Our friend needs to be taken back to our base before he dies." The rest of the Ginyu Force all gently lift up Recoome, and start to slowly fly back to their base. "I think we should." Twilight whispered to her friends. "Are you kidding! They're monsters! They're just trying to trick us so they can eat us or something." Rainbow Dash yelled in a whispering tone. "While they may be monsters, they did save our lives, and healed us at the risk of one of their own. So we do owe them." Applejack pointed out. "I agree." Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, and Rarity all said at the same time. "Wait!" Twilight yelled, causing the Ginyu Force to stop, and look back. "Please come with us! You helped us, and it's the least we can do!" Ginyu looked back to his men. "Well, their town is closer than our base." They all nodded, and Ginyu responded. "Fine. But this better not be a trick. I am not in a mood for being tricked when our close friend is dying. The ponies all looked between each other, before nodded. "Cross our hearts and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in our eye!" "They did the surprise promise! But it's different than Surprise's one." Jeice pointed out, and we all nodded, before following them. "Hey Captain? How did the Saibamen harm Recoome? Saibamen have a power level similar to Raditz, but we're much stronger than him, so the Saibamen shouldn't have done much damage." "Normally, you would be right, Jeice. It wouldn't have harmed him much." I answered. "But remember what we found out about this forest. It does strange things to the creatures within, plus the planet has magic, so when they were planted somehow, they could have become much stronger." "There we go!" Fluttershy said with a smile on her face, as we place one of our closest friends on a bed in her cottage so she can began healing. "Now if you'll excuse me, I need to get to work on healing your friend." She said, trying to get us out of the room. "No." I said in a completely serious tone. "None of us our leaving our friend alone. We've stuck together through some of the most harshest trials, and we are not abandoning him now." I gave a small smile. "And besides. If we leave, Recoome will probably die anyways, as we are all giving energy to him, just to keep his vital organs working." 'Somehow he's using more energy than we should give. We're all giving a small portion of our vast energy stores, because we have to be prepared to fight.' "Okay. But if you're going to stay, you need to answer some questions!" Twilight said, as she spawned a notebook and quill, causing me to laugh inside myself, before sitting down on one of the small chairs. > What happens when Numbskulls play with fire > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Flames of a Phoenix- What happens when Numbskulls play with Fire Crystal Empire         “Wait… What the hell are you talking about?” were the first words to come out of Frost’s mouth upon hearing Ember speak again. Many things were going through his head right now and all of them were focused on his next question.“What do you mean by Final piece?”         “Twilight… Can I please talk with Frost… alone? I might need some time to tell him what’s going on.” The Mancer asked. The Princess of Friendship nodded along with Cadence and Shining Armor, allowing her to go inside the palace of the Crystal Empire and use one of the guest rooms so the two of them can talk. “I believe you have a lot of questions to ask me.”         “I honestly don’t even know where to begin.” The Wolf asked, folding his arms. “You haven’t even told me your name for starters and now you are talking about me like I’m some kind of public concern.”         “Well Frost, my name is Ember. Like you, I’m a mancer, a being that has control of a kind of Elemental Power. For me, It’s fire. For you, it seemed to be Ice, given your name and everything.”         “Yeah. I’ve had my ice powers ever since I was a young pup. Almost froze the entire home that I use to live in one time. Still though, how does this relate to the conversation?” Frost then asked as he took a seat on a nearby couch. Ember sighed. This was going to be a while. But… if he had his powers before… then why the sudden change in what he was capable of?         “Well… Have you felt anything… Different recently?”         “Sort of. Before I freed everypony from the camp, I felt like I was bone dry from all the work they forced me to do. But then, I came across a gemstone that was warm to the touch. I was a little bit cold, so I placed it near my heart in order to keep myself warm and after a few seconds, I felt my strength return to me and then some. In a way, it restored my will and helped me keep fighting.”         ‘So THAT’S how he found it.’ Ember thought to herself upon hearing the Wolf’s story. “Well, that Gem is only one piece of something far greater. Have you heard of an artifact called the Wendigo Heart?”         “Pearl and Valiance had told me about the Crystal heart, but nothing called that.”         “Well, the Wendigo Heart is a very powerful artifact that contains the power that was left behind by the King of the Wendigos. Hence, the name. It was so powerful that it was said that anypony who came across it had the power to have this world go into an Ice Age. That’s why it was split into three pieces. So that nopony else could be able to restore it and unlock it’s true power.”         “But when you said final…… Does that mean that somebody else already found the first two?” The Wolf then asked, his tail twitching a little.         “Very perceptive… Indeed it does. A powerful enemy that calls herself Anivia has already obtained the first two pieces of the heart. Which means that she would be coming for you if she found out about you being the third piece.”         “I can take her-.”         “No you can’t. She’s just as strong as either of us. On top of that, she is a Cryophoenix.”         “A what-?”         “The opposite of a phoenix. Phoenix’s are birds of fire, Anivia is a Phoenix of Ice whose goal is to exterminate every living phoenix in existence and then collect the pieces of the Wendigo heart. It is unsure though her reason why for doing this though.” Ember told the wolf. “Whatever the case may be, you aren’t safe on your own-.”         “What am I to you? A foal? I don’t need bodyguards!!”         “I never said that you needed them. I was going to suggest for you to stay with me.” Ember suggested. “With your capabilities, you can help out with the ponies in Ponyville and help me train my Nephew in controlling his powers.”         Now this sounded intriguing to the Wolf. However, he needed some more details. “What is he capable of?”         “He controls Earth.”         “A Stonemancer? Must have a very strong heart if they’re able to control something like that.”         Ember was quite surprised by the Wolf’s response. “Wait… Why does it feel like I’m missing out on something here?”         “You seem surprised.” Frost said. “Excedians have a lot of knowledge on controlling the elements. In fact, back when there were more of us, our kind use to be the generation that gave birth to the practice. However, with so few of us left, it’s rare to see an Excedian who is alive that has control of an element. Most of my kind that are still alive have moved on to where they have control of Magic or something else entirely.” Ember was personally surprised to hear this new information surface to life. There were other Mancer’s before her, but now Frost was one of them. She had more questions for them, but had to save them for another time. One where the two of them would have more time to conversate.         “So… I guess I’m coming with you then?”         Ember nodded her head, using her hand to mess with the Fur on Frost’s head. “Yeah… Geez, it feels like I’m adopting a child.”         “I’m not a child!! I’m twenty years old!!”         “Well, I’m over a thousand years old so give it a rest.” Ember joked with the wolf. “Before we go though, I need to let you know of something. From time to time, I will be summoned by other individuals who would need my help and to an extent, I can summon them too. They’re known as Displaced and for summoning them, you need a token. In that case, take this.”         In Frost’s hands now laid the Phoenix Feather that was her token. He looked at it for a few moments before putting it in his pocket. “What’s this?”         “It’s my token. So if I’m away and you need my help, summon me and I’ll come.” Ember told her. “There’s also another reason why I told you this…”         “Oh really? Do tell.”         “I’m getting summoned right now. So instead of resisting it, bringing them here and causing a commotion, I’m going over there. We’ll have to keep this between us for now, so cover me while I’m gone.” With that, Ember left, leaving Frost by himself as he walked outside the room. When Twilight asked about her whereabouts, the wolf said only one thing.         “She told me that she was going out for a walk…” Meanwhile…… (Ginyu Force’s Equestria)         “Come on Jeice! You can do this!” Ginyu yelled as they watched their friend try to control his attack again.         “Crusher Ball!” Jeice yelled, as he stayed floating in the air, before lifting his hand up near his head, and tried channeling his ki into his hand, where an unstable orange ball appeared, looking as if it was about to blow up. Jeice removed his hand from underneath it, before bringing it up behind the ball of energy, and moving to slap it down. But the second he touched it, the ball blew up in his face. “Darn it!”         “Better luck next time Jeice!” Burter yelled out, as his friend slowly descended back into the small grotto in the Everfree Forest, where the Ginyu Force was currently training. After some previous… misadventures, the five of them were currently inside the forest since it was considered as a “Safe Place” by their friend, Surprise. Who happened to be watching them from afar.         “You can do it Jeice! Just believe in yourself!” Surprise yelled, jumping up and down, while holding a foam glove in her hooves that looked like a human hand with one finger pointing up. Soon though, something fell on top of Surprise’s nose as it tickled her. A strange feather that represented the color of fire and looked like a phoenix feather. With a small twitch, it flew downward and landed on top of Jeice’s white hair.         “What’s this then?” Jeice asked, as he lifted his hand to his head, and gently grabbed the feather, before holding it in front of his face. He lightly twirled it in between his fingers, before speaking out to his friends, who were busy talking to each other. “Hey guys! Check this out!”         The remaining four Ginyu Force members all walked over, before Jeice showed them the feather. “What do you think it is, Jeice?” Recoome asked.         “It looks like a feather.” Jeice responded.         “It reminds me of a phoenix feather.” Ginyu added, causing everyone present to look at him funny. “I read.” Everyone ‘oohed’ at that response.          “Hey, why is it glowing?” Surprise then asked as she came closer to them, pointing at the feather with a hoof.         “Hunh?” Guldo reacted, as he noticed the feather glowed even brighter, before setting Jeice’s gloved hand on fire. “Jeice! Your hand’s on fire!”         Jeice quickly patted out the fire, before inspecting the burnt glove, happy that it didn’t seem to be damaged much. He looked at the ground, noticing the burning feather gently landed on the ground. Soon, the small flame grew forth to where it looked like a doorway was created. Soon, a new individual that once appeared like a fire-like bird stood a few feet away from the force. A woman… One with a red scarf and wore a dark grey shirt, dark navy jeans, sandals and tied up dark brown hair. She then turned around, only noticing Surprise at that current moment. She was a human. The first one that the Ginyu Force had personally seen at all ever since becoming the Ginyu Force.         “Hunh? A pony?” Was her first reaction. She didn’t notice Ginyu and the others until Jeice was the first one to speak.         “Who are you supposed to be?” Jeice asked, confused why a feather summoned a human.         “I’m Ember Valkyr.” She replied, noticing the feather. “And it seems like you…… guys came across my summoning token.”         “Summoning token?” Ginyu asked, before remembering something. “Oh, you’re a Displaced aren’t you?”         “Yes I am.” Ember said. She now noticed the surrounding area and saw some of the craters in the ground. “What the hell happened that caused all of this?”         “Well, we’re trying to train, and get used to our new powers.” Ginyu explained. “You see, we’re a group of fighters, or at least that’s what we dressed up as. And we have the ability to call upon our body’s natural energy to help us with fighting, or healing, or even flying.”         “Sounds similar to Life Force. Either that or something you might refer to as Chi.” Ember pointed out. “What seems to be the problem? Can’t control it?”         “Well, we call it ki, but it has been known by different names. But yeah, we can fly somewhat, but when trying to use energy attacks, we seem to mess up.” Ginyu said, and lifted his hand, before creating an unstable ball of purple energy in it. It blew up a second later, and Ginyu wiped the soot off his face. “That keeps on happening.”         “Hmm… it seems like you aren’t fully focusing on what you are trying to do.” Ember said, demonstrating by forming a flame in her hands. “Something like this is broken down into a series of steps. You five seem to have the energy to do so and can picture your attacks quite well, but you’re not focusing hard enough.”         “See! I told you guys we need to focus more!” Guldo exclaimed.         “No you didn’t.” The rest of the Ginyu Force replied, causing Guldo to roll all four of his eyes, before grumbling softly.         Ember sighed. “Well, it’s not just the energy you’re using, it’s also your stamina… Tell you what, maybe it’ll be best if I show you what I mean. Who here is up for a bit of sparring?” For a moment, the Ginyu Force thought that this girl was crazy. Even Guldo didn’t see a point to it. But then, Ember let her Life Force surge forth, rising high on the ki sensing abilities each Ginyu Force member could feel. “So, who's going to fight?” Ginyu said, causing his men to look at each other, their competitiveness showing. “Rock Paper Scissors, aye?”         Ginyu’s men got in position, and started doing one of their favorite ways to determine who gets to fight. “ROCK PAPER SCISSORS!”         “ROCK PAPER SCISSORS!”         “ROCK PAPER SCISSORS!”         “ROCK PAPER SCISSORS!”         “ROCK PAPER SCISSORS!”         “Yes! I win!” Burter exclaimed, as he walked forward, before stretching. “Don’t think I won't go easy on you just because you’re worth two and a half Raditzs.”         “I don’t understand who you are referring too, but to make it simple and not kill any of you, I’m only using ten percent of my total strength.”         “Okay, I guess I’ll just have to use even less, just to make sure you don’t die prematurely. You see, while it might require concentration for energy attacks, it doesn’t for meleeing. I’m as strong as the Burter I’m based off of, and as fast too, so don’t expect to hit me.”         “Right…… Let me ask you something though… How old do you think I am?”         “Probably somewhere around ten thousand. They’re usually around that age when they ask you that question.”         “Good guess.” In a quick instant, Ember appeared behind Burter and gave him a quick jab kick to the back, inches from the spine. “But no. Too high up.”         But what shocked Ember was when Burter disappeared in front of her, before reappearing across the small grotto they’re in. “Figures. It’s never exactly ten thousand. And what did you think of my after image ability?”         “Neat trick, but you can’t just use it to run all over the place.” Ember smirked. “Now… speaking of which… Heads up.”         Quickly, Ember fired off a blast of Fire energy that went at Burter like an armed warhead.         “Too slow.” Burter said, and as time seemed to slow down, he dodged the fire as if it were a leaf, and delivered a swift punch to Ember’s stomach. However, Ember dispersed into flames and was behind Burter now. Holding out her hand in a fist, the Warhead from before was moving faster, but Ember had a new trick up her sleeve.         “Disperse.”         Opening her hand caused the one rocket to split into a barrage of homing blasts. All aimed at Burter. Burter quickly flew into the air, and shouted, as he fired several rapid blasts of unstable ki at the area below, destroying each of the projectiles, and seemingly hitting Ember.         “Scatter beam attack!”         Before the attack could be pulled off, Ember moved his fingers in an upward motion. One thing about the Mancer was that the last place where she placed her hands, the handprint could be used as a trigger for an explosion. For Burter, as he looked down, two of her hands from when she struck him in the back lit up as it caught the Blue Hurricane in a massive explosion. It didn’t kill him, but it at least was able to teach him not to let his guard down.         “You must be aware of the possibility that your opponent can attack from all angles. Be lucky that I’m only using fifteen percent. Because the last time I was at one hundred percent, my anger and rage created the badlands back in my world.”         But what surprised Ember, was when the smoke cleared, and Burter hardly looked damaged at all, and flew down to the ground. “You’re pretty strong, and I definitely didn’t see that attack coming. So, for the sake of the entire forest being burned down, let’s just call it a draw.” Burter held out his hand in a peaceful motion.         “Good idea. Because trust me… I know more than fire abilities. What I caught you off guard with was a taste of me controlling Magma.”         “Yeah, I got some abilities I didn’t use too. Everyone on the planet is lucky I didn’t try to use a kamehameha up there, or the world and the moon would have been destroyed. Because my unstable energy attacks are a lot stronger, but aren’t controlled at all.”         “Heh… I have something like what you just mentioned… Just a lot more powerful to the point where it might decimate a mountain range if left unchecked. But there is one thing I would like to test.” Without warning, Ember’s energy flung out and caught on to Burter like a lasso as it pulled him onto the ground. Then, she dispersed it. “Good, I’m not rusty with Whiplash. Haven’t used that technique in ages.”         “Lucky for you, I could tell that wasn’t an attack. Because if it was, I would have accidently used super explosive wave, and blown us all up. And the surrounding area wouldn’t exist anymore. Including you. It would kill the Captain over there, who is much stronger than I am, and could beat you.”         “I wouldn’t say that Burter!” Ginyu yelled from the sidelines. “A good captain lets his men attack first, and then uses the body swap technique to leave his enemy in a dying body.”         “Right… presuming the fact that you think you can kill me.”         “Pretty sure we could. I just noticed Guldo used his time stopping abilities five times while you were speaking. You didn’t notice what he did at all, and would probably not want to.”         Ember just facepalmed. “You’re not getting what I mean, are you? Maybe your captain knows.”         “Just leave her alone Burter! We could easily take her on as a unit, but that’s not how we roll. And besides…”         “Dear Celestia… None of you get it at all. You CAN’T kill me… I’m immortal. The reason for my powers was because they were given to me by a DYING PHOENIX and with that, comes immortality.”         “Well, Captain Ginyu could easily swap bodies with you, and have his body be dying when your in it, so you wouldn’t really be immortal anymore, and could die.”         “It’s not that either. Even your body fades away, my SOUL still lives on and Phoenix’s come back to life. Which means if you did try to kill me, I would still live on…… But immortality is not always a good thing.” Ember now reached up to her head and did something that would scare most fillies and colts.         She took out her own eyeball and crushed it, the object fading to dust. A new eye formed in Ember’s head, but the dust had a different effect on the five of them. As they breathed it in, they saw visions… Which turned out to be Ember’s memories.         ‘Get up, you filthy primate. Do as you were told and kill this thief!!’         The image shown was of Ember in what looked like a mountain area diverse with trees. A young buffalo was chained up, looking at her in fear. Ember shook her head.         ‘No. I won’t do it.’         ‘Grr…… You know, I think it’s about time you learned your place. An eye for an eye. A life for a life.’         Soon, a red earth pony was brought out, forced to lie on the ground. The Griffon that was in charge, despite Ember’s plea’s, slit her friends throat and followed that up by snapping his neck. Anger and Rage coursed through her as the Mancer let it all out, burning all the killers, slave handlers and murderers that were there in a volcanic uproar that could be seen from all the way in the Crystal Empire to the north. When the dust settled, all that was left was her and the few survivors that she was able to save.         ‘I’m sorry Red… I never wanted this to happen… It should have been me...’         “Do you understand now?” Ember asked as the Ginyu Force snapped back to reality.         “While it did look traumatizing, we’ve had worse.” Then, before Ember could even blink, Ginyu put his fingers against her head, showing her an image that would be forever ingrained into her skull.         All that Ember saw was something black, with two souless white eyes, with lifeless black pupils, and a red mouth similar to a clown. But if that didn’t scare her enough, what it said did. “Pecking order!”         Ember though, didn’t move. “Meh… Popo right?”         The entire Ginyu Force gasped at that. “No! Don’t call him that! It’s Mister Popo! He’ll destroy you if he hears you failing to refer to him by his title!” Just then, the entire planet shook, as a single voice was heard in the distance.         “That’s right, maggots.”         “Okay, MR. Popo then. My apologies.” Ember sighed. “Next time we meet, I want to get the chance to meet him in person. I think he and I can strike up a nice conversation about you guys.” The last bit about the conversation was to be sarcastic.         “Well, Mr. Popo is right behind you.” When Ember turned around, she did indeed see Mr. Popo right behind her, standing on a magic carpet.         “Did I hear that you thought you could strike up a conversation with me?” Mr. Popo started laughing. “You must remember the pecking order. In case you forgot, it’s you, the dirt, the worms living inside the dirt, Popo’s stool, Kami, and then Popo.”         “Right… Something tells me that there’s one thing these five aren’t going to be after I leave… Safe.”         “No, they did everything correct, so they will receive maximum punishment. But you on the other hand, disrespected me, so I will show you TOTAL CRUEL UNJUST FOR LIVING BEINGS PUNISHMENT-!”         “Mr. Popo… I apologize for my rudeness. I was unaware about your title or position. In exchange for allowing me to leave and return to my family for heart's warming, I’ll place this in your care.” Ember told Mr. Popo, giving him an Identical phoenix feather. “You may use it to summon me whenever you believe it is necessary.”         Then, before Mr. Popo could react, Captain Ginyu spoke up. “Umm, here you go.” He handed her the Ginyu Force’s token, before moving away quickly. “You may leave now. Our contract is complete.”         “Thank you, Mr. Ginyu. It’s been a pleasure to meet all of you. Especially you, Mr. Popo.” She replied as she conjured a portal of flames and stepped through, disappearing through the gateway before the flames died down and faded away.         Mr. Popo slowly turns to look at the Ginyu Force. “You didn’t let me exact my punishment Maggots!”         The rest of the day was filled with the Ginyu Force receiving punishment.         “Aww man guys, I just realized something.” Recoome said as he was getting punished.         “Oh yeah? What Recoome?” Jeice asked.         “We never got to introduce ourselves.” And when Recoome said that, the entire Ginyu Force screamed, as that was more punishment than whatever Mr. Popo could give them.         And if you listen closely, you could hear the maniacal laughter of Mr. Popo as he continued his punishment on the Ginyu Force. Back at the Crystal Empire…         Ember’s return back to her world did not go unnoticed. She arrived back in the guest room, where both Frost and Twilight were waiting for her patiently. However, the Alicorn had a BUNCH of questions for her in regards to what she just did and where she was. Ember though, avoided answering the questions since she thought that trying to explain the whole Displaced theory would cause her mind to explode. Instead, the three of them hurried to make sure to catch the train to Ponyville so that way they could get back to the town before morning came.         Because Ember did not want to miss her first Heart’s Warming with her new family.         In the Distance though, Someone was watching them as they left. However, she believed that their search was to no avail as she continued to look for the last thing she needed to become whole. To become complete… To become… Perfect. End Chapter 7  > Don't be a Krillin > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "So, what are you five?" Twilight asked, getting ready to take down notes. "We're the Ginyu Force." Captain Ginyu said in a depressed voice, none of them in the mood for their infamous choreography. The gathered ponies seemed to expect us to do it though, as the room went silent. Twilight coughed, clearing the silence, and began to speak again. "That's not quite what I meant. Are you aliens? If so what species are each of you?" "We don't quite know. But we know Jeice" I gestured to Jeice. "Can be called a Brench-Seijin or a Space-Australian." "Space-Australian?" Twilight repeated. "Yes, or more accurately Space-Brisbanian." I said in a straight face, and a few seconds later we were all laughing. Pinkie Pie even joined in on the laughter. Once the laughter died down, Twilight continued her questioning. "How do you not know your own species?" "Because we weren't born like this. A thousand years ago, we were all humans, a race similar to how Recoome looks. We were all best friends, and we dressed up in costumes, based off the Ginyu Force you see here, and we bought something that caused us to get stuck in this world, as five of the most dangerous anime characters." I sighed, trying to remember my life as a human. "We tried to learn how to use our new powers, and accidentally destroyed some towns." I put my head into my hands. "We never forgave ourselves for that." Twilight looked shocked. "Wait, so you didn't mean to destroy those villages?" I nodded. "Our ki was unstable back then. Even trying to make a small ball of energy could result in an explosion." I lifted my hand, and summoned a ball of my energy that gently floated above my hand. "We got some training to figure out how to control my energy." Twilight was mesmerized by my energy ball. "How are you doing that! You don't have horns and you don't even have any magic! You should not be able to make balls of magic like that without having any magic!" "It's not magic." I reabsorbed the ball of energy. "It's called ki. Ki is basically one's life force. We have a very high amount of life force, so we are able to use it for various stuff like flying..." I lifted myself off the ground for a few seconds. "Object manipulation." I lifted a glass of water nearby just by looking at it. "And energy blasts, or other stuff like that." Twilight was about to ask something else, but Recoome seemed to start waking up. We all quickly pushed past her to be near Recoome when he woke up. Recoome's eyes opened, and he looked at us, before smiling. "Heya Captain." I chuckled a bit. "Hey Recoome. How you feeling?" "A little toasty, but I should be alright." He said as he started getting up. Fluttershy quickly ran over, and tried to push him back down. "I'm sorry Mister, but you can not get up yet. You're still seriously injured." Recoome just laughed, before flipping over to the other side of the bed, and landing on his feet. Then, imitating Goku, he flexed his muscles, causing all the bandages to rip off, and it looked like he was never damaged in the first place. 'Oh... you clever little...' I picked up Recoome's damaged armor and body suit, before tossing it him. He quickly put it on, causing the suit to repair itself. When we first arrived in this world, we discovered our suits can regenerate from massive damage. If you take the suits off, and let your body heal, then put the suits back on, it will fix itself. As we started to walk to the door, Pinkie Pie stopped us. "Wait! I still have to throw you a Welcome to Ponyville party! And a 'Thanks for Saving Us' party! And a 'Glad You're Okay' party!" "I don't know, it's getting rather late." I said in a slightly teasing tone. "But there's still enough time for a party!" She said in a pleading tone. "And I want to know how you knew my ancestor!" 'She certainly acts a lot like Surprise.' "Well, we still need to sleep. We haven't been able to for a thousand years. Plus, you would have more time to plan if we wait until tomorrow." Pinkie was about to respond, but one look from me told her 'That's final.' "Fine." Pinkie grumbled. "But make sure you five are at Sugarcube Corner by noon tomorrow!" She handed all of us a map of how to get to Sugarcube Corner. Nodding, I replied. "Okay. See you tomorrow." I put my fingers against my head, and in a flash, used instant transmission to arrive at our base. When we were all finally here, I quickly gave Recoome a high-five. "Nice job Recoome!" "Thanks Captain." Recoome responded, rubbing the back of his head at the praise. "You has us all worried there, mate. I thought it was actually serious." Jeice pointed out. Apparently, Recoome faked getting badly injured, and used it as a way for us all to connect with the ponies, and hopefully show them that we're not evil. We all picked up on it when he seemingly wasn't injured anymore, and jumped off the bed. He was kinda injured, but he managed to make it look lethal. Recoome was about to respond with what would have most likely been a goofy response, but his face fell, as he realized something, and pointed it out. "Uh guys... we forgot to get food when we were out." After hearing that, all of our faces fell, and then we all performed face faults. "Spike! Take a letter!" Twilight exclaimed to her abused assistant, who only groaned. "Now Twilight?" Spike moaned, as he crawled out of his bed. "It's so late, and you had me running errands all day! Plus we got back from Canterlot, and you haven't had much sleep either." "Yes, but this is important!" Twilight replied. "Whatever it is, I'm sure you can wait until tomorrow. I need to get some sleep." Spike said, as he climbed back in his bed, and covered his face in his blankets. Twilight just sighed, unhappy that she can't force Spike to do anymore child labor for tonight. "Are they here yet?" Pinkie whispered, hiding behind a table inside Sugarcube Corner, with her friends, as they wait for the guests of honor to arrive. "No Pinkie." Twilight replied in an irritated tone. "But they said they would be here at noon!" Pinkie whined. "Pinkie, it's not even noon yet. It's about 11:59 am." Twilight said with a roll of her eyes. "But what if they don't come! They said they would! And I'll never know how they knew my ancestor!" Pinkie said, tears in her eyes, before she had to squint, as a bright light appeared in the room, almost blinding everyone, before it revealed itself to be the shapes of the Ginyu Force. The Ginyu Force stood in something akin to formations, before Captain Ginyu responded. "The Ginyu Force has arrived for the party!" The Ginyu Force moved apart from each other, about to do their infamous choreography, when the ponies in the store all started screaming. "MONSTERS!" "AUSTRALIANS!" "HONEY! GRAB THE CHEESE! WE'VE GOT ALIENS INVADING!" The Ginyu Force just stared in sadness, as the ponies trampled over each other to run away, and one pony even threw cheese at them. When all the ponies ran away, the mane six came up to the Ginyu Force. "You came!" Pinkie exclaimed with glee, as she started bouncing up and down. "I didn't think you would, but you did! Now we can have a party! And it will be good party, and everypony will enjoy it!" Pinkie started talking, until Captain Ginyu cut her off. "Yes we came, just like we said. And a Ginyu never goes back on his word." Captain Ginyu said with pride, before his stomach growled. "Oh, and we're also hungry. Now, where's the food. We haven't eaten in over a thousand years." He said with a goofy smile. Pinkie smiled back, before pointing over to the tables. "Of course we do! It wouldn't be a party without food, now would..." Pinkie's smile fell, as everyone in the room realized that all the food was now on the ground. trampled by all the ponies. The ponies turned to see the Ginyu Force all crying. "Not the chocolate!" Captain Ginyu called out, as they all ran over to the trampled bars of chocolate, crying over the loss of their favorite snack. They stood there, crying, as the ponies looked between each other, not sure how these five destroyed countless towns and villages. Eventually, Pinkie walked up to the Ginyu Force, and patted Ginyu on the back. "It's okay, we can always make more." Pinkie said in a sad voice, not wanting to upset them. Ginyu quickly turned around, his face covered in tears. "But these chocolate bars were never eaten! Not even one! And they can't be brought back!" Before anyone could say anything else, loud explosions and yells were heard from outside. "What the?" The Ginyu Force and the ponies all ran outside to see a short bald man wearing orange clothes fire energy blasts into buildings, blowing them up, and laughing. "Is that who I think that is?!" Jeice exclaimed, as the entire Ginyu Force's jaws were dropped. "It's Krillin!" Burter answered. "But he seems different." The ponies looked confused at this. "Who's Krillin?" Twilight asked, but the Ginyu Force ignored her, and talked amongst themselves. "Who's going to fight him, in case he doesn't listen to reason?" Ginyu asked his teammates. "I want to fight!" Burter exclaimed. "Me too!" Jeice yelled, pumping his hand into the air. "Count me in!" Guldo [insert verb here]ed. "I want to fight too!" Recoome said in his usual goofy voice, before the entire Ginyu Force looked at him, giving him stern glares. "No you're not Recoome! You got to fight last time, and could still be injured." Ginyu pointed out, which caused Recoome to look down, sad, and the other Ginyu's to start playing quartz, parchment, shears. "Rock, paper, scissors!" "Rock, paper, scissors!" "Rock, paper, scissors!" "Rock, paper, scissors!" "Rock, paper, scissors!" "Rock, paper, scissors!" "Rock, paper, scissors!" "Yes! I win!" Burter yelled, as he walked closer to Krillin, who was still destroying Ponyville. "Good luck, Burter!" Captain Ginyu yelled form the sidelines, as the others walked back to watch their friend fight Krillin. "Why do you do that thing?!" Twilight asked Ginyu, confused. "The thing where you all yell out 'rock, paper, scissors?!" Ginyu chuckled. "It's called rock, paper, scissors. We use it to figure out which one of us fights the enemy." Twilight still looked confused. "But why!? Why not just all fight at once! Or take turns!" Ginyu chuckled again. "What? Would you prefer us to do the wheel of death?" Twilight groaned out loud. While the rest of my friends were talking to the ponies, I was walking up to Krillin. "Hey Baldie!" I yelled out in an attempt to get his attention. Then I quickly jumped out of the way of an incoming blast, before quickly blocking a physical attack from Krillin. 'Whoa, he's a lot stronger and faster than he should be at that power level.' My ki sensing ability told me that his power level was similar to when he fought Nappa, so about .9 Raditz. 'Wait, they always hide their true power level.' As I dodged several more rapid punches and kicks, I eventually flew back a few feet, before firing my own energy barrage at Krillin, who was too slow to dodge it. I stayed floating in midair, and kept a close eye on the smoke and dust I created, before hearing something that made my blood run cold. "Destructo Disc!" I quickly flew out of the way of the energy disc, barely dodging it, before it fizzled out when it hit the ground. I chuckled a bit. "Yep. Still the fastest in the universe." Deciding to end this quickly, and prevent any more destruction, I flew up to Krillin, and grabbed him from behind, preventing him from escaping. "Krillin! Why are you doing this!" I asked, wondering why a Z-Fighter would destroy and kill like this. "I won't let your Ginyu Force terrorize the universe any longer!" He yelled, and then to my surprise, he managed to kick me hard, making me let go of him, before he punched me rapidly in the jaw and stomach. I quickly used instant transmission to get some distance, before rubbing my sore jaw. "So... something's wrong here. Maybe, in this universe, it's possible that because we're good, the Z-Fighters are bad? He seems to believe I'm the Burter from season two. And movie physics seem to be applied here, as he's not on Namek, and would probably know that Burter's dead from Namek exploding. I swear if King Kai messages me..." At that point, I heard some static in my head, before a voice spoke out. 'Hello? Is this thing on?' A familiar voice called out. 'North Kai?' I asked in my head, while being lucky enough that Krillin isn't attacking me. 'Yes this is North Kai. I just thought that I should tell you that because of you five entering this universe, Goku and his friends are messed up now. Heck, the entire universe is messed up! All the Kais felt the disturbance a thousand years ago, and lately the Kai of Time is notifying all of us Kais about the temporal anomalies. Heck! Even the Time Patrol doesn't exist anymore from all the anomalies.' When he was done talking, I thought about what he said. 'Is it just me, or is this something that's just giving me a perfectly good reason to kill Krillin?' 'Well, you have to kill him. Kai of Time says it'll help stop the anomaly. So go and plow into him!' 'Oh my.' 'Shut up Takei!' I sighed. 'Well, at least it doesn't involve breaking Surprise's promise.' Steeling myself, I charged forward, pulling my fist back, and putting some of my energy into it, before delivering a massive punch to Krillin's face. While he was stunned, I put my power into both fists, and starting sending punch after punch into his stomach and chest, breaking several bones. After breaking at least all of his ribs, I moved back a bit, and put my hand against his head. "I'm sorry." I fired a powerful blast through his head, instantly killing him, before I grabbed his arm before he fell, and threw him fast and hard enough to not only break orbit, but land on the closest planet to this one, and make a small crater for him. I quickly fired a beam up their, causing the dirt to bury his body. 'That's always so cool to do.' I slowly landed on the ground, to see the shocked faces of the ponies who saw what I did. I could hear them whisper about how I killed the monster. Raising my hands non-threateningly, I spoke out loud. "You're safe now. The monster's gone!" "But you killed it! Only monsters kill!" A pony yelled out, causing others to make sounds of agreement. My shoulders slumped. "Yes I killed him. But it was either kill or be killed. He was pure evil. He didn't care who died, as long as there was death! Would you rather he stayed alive and killed more?!" I heard the ponies talk about it to others ponies, before they... didn't do anything, just stared at us with fear in their eyes. Sighing, I walked over to the rest of my friends, getting a congratulatory pat on the back from the captain. "Good job Burter. But, you mind explaining what you think was wrong with Krillin?" I nodded, before we all entered Sugarcube Corner again. "I'll tell you guys when we're alone." At this time, we finally realized that sometime during the fight, the entire room was cleaned up, like it wasn't trashed in the first place. I noticed Pinkie Pie had a big smile on her face, and Twilight didn't exactly look confused. 'They told Twilight who Krillin was.' I was snapped out of my thoughts, by Pinkie holding up several chocolate bars, and handing them to me, with a big smile on her face. It took a few seconds, but an even bigger smile appeared on my face, as I took the chocolate bars, and devoured them. A bright flash appeared in front of Princess Celestia, who was relaxing after a hard day of ruling with her sister Luna who was preparing for night court. The flash quickly turned into a scroll, which Celestia quickly caught in her magic, and started to unfurl, thinking it was a letter of victory from her student. Dear Princess Celestia, My friends and I were attending a party for the ones called the Ginyu Force. Yesterday, during our trip into the Everfree Forest, we were attacked by a group of green pea-like creatures with strength that easily defeated us, and would have killed all of us, until the Ginyu Force saved us, and got one of their own badly injured. Then, to all of our surprise, their leader, Ginyu, gave my friends and I his last 'Senzu beans' which are magical beans that can apparently heal almost any wound. But since they used all of them on us, they didn't have any for their friend, as they said you destroyed the only way to make more. So, while trying to learn more about them, we offered to help heal their friend at Fluttershy's cottage. There, we learned that they did destroy all of those villages you said they did, but they did it on accident, for they arrived in this world over a thousand years ago, and got their powers when they arrived, and tried to train how to use them, but accidentally destroyed the villages. They even seemed very sad about it, and regretted doing it. Eventually, the one called 'Recoome' (who was the one who was injured), was properly healed, and they quickly left for their base, but not before saying they'd come to a party Pinkie Pie made for them. I would have sent this message sooner, but SOMEDRAGON, was too lazy to get up and make a letter. I'm writing this myself, in case you don't know, and I absolutely hate writing a letter, when I have a baby dragon who is perfectly capable of writing my letters for me. Anyways, the Ginyu Force came to the party this afternoon, and the ponies hiding with Pinkie Pie for the surprise party, all got scared off. But while the Ginyu Force was morning the loss of the chocolate bars and snacks the ponies trampled over, Ponyville was being attacked by a creature called 'Krillin.' Apparently, this 'Krillin' was different to the 'Krillin' from the universe the Ginyu Force say they're from, and only cared about killing. Eventually, 'Burter' killed 'Krillin' and buried the body, before returning to the party, which Pinkie fixed. They then spent their entire time telling my friends and I stories from their past, and eating the snacks Pinkie supplied. Because of this evidence, I believe that the Ginyu Force should not be turned back into stone or receive judgement from the Elements of Harmony, because I believe they are just misunderstood. Your faithful student, Twilight Sparkle. Celestia sighed, before rolling back up the scroll. "I thought she would be smart enough to prepare for stuff like that." Celestia then turned to her sister. "We must prepare an army to fight the Ginyu Force. I'm afraid the Elements of Harmony have been affected by Guldo's mind tricks." Luna nodded, and both sisters stood up, before flying off to another part of the castle to prepare a task force that can hopefully stand up to the Ginyu Force. Meanwhile in another part of the world... "Come on men! His Lordship wants those stones, and he wants them by tomorrow! Do I need to remind you what happens if you fail to meet your quota?!" A minotaur captain yelled, as he walked in between a few dozen minotaurs mining for stone to help make statues of the current minotaur leader. Eventually, a young minotaur runs up to the captain, and shows him something. "Captain! I found this while mining. It doesn't look like any gem I've ever seen!" The young minotaur's voice was raspy from not having anything to drink in several hours. The captain picked up the strange gem, and examined it. "You're right! And if we've never seen a gem like this before! Then it must be super rare! His Lordship will certainly enjoy such a rare item!" The young minotaur smiled at the praise, before being patted on the back. "I'll tell his Lordship, and you can take the rest of the day off, for going well past your quota!" The young minotaur almost squealed in delight, before running off to take the rest of the day off. The captain started walking through the caves to get to his ruler, examining the 'gem' while doing so. A sphere of brilliant orange with five red stars clearly seen inside it. > Not much of a challenge > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "On your mark!" I yelled, holding my hand up, and I looked closely at both Burter and Rainbow Dash, who were on a starting line, getting ready to race. Rainbow heard that Burter's the 'fastest in the universe' and wanted to race him. Since both were quite fast, we wanted them to fly/run around Ponyville, and as the only one faster than Burter (Not that I'd tell him), I'd be making sure they don't go through the town and cheat. "Get set!" I yelled. "Good luck Rainbow Dash." Burter said with a smile. Rainbow Dash just snorted. "I don't need it. I already have this in the bag. Soon, I'll be called the fastest thing in the universe." Burter chuckled, and shook his head. "GO!" The milli-second I yelled that, I could see Rainbow Dash's jaw drop, as she realized not only that Burter shot ahead of her faster than she could imagine, but he ran around the entire town before stopping at the finish line. Just like when Burter (real Burter) caught the Dragon Ball"And Burter wins!" The gathered ponies (just the other Element Bearers) stood there with their jaws dropped. "B-b-but how!" Burter just smiled. "Easy. I'm the fastest in the universe. You seem like you can travel at maybe mach 5, perhaps mach 10. I myself can easily break mach 50 and that's without using an aura of ki around me." I smiled, glad that while we might be the Ginyu Force, we're not totally the Ginyu Force. I mean the rock-paper-scissors thing is kinda stupid, but we do it to remember the originals. We've only once used the wheel of death, but Luna destroyed it. Those things take forever to fix. I was snapped out of my thoughts by red lightning and magic shooting into the sky from Ponyville. I heard screaming from the town, and the ponies were already running towards the town. I waved to my friends, before yelling. "Come on men!" We all burst into the sky, quickly arriving above the town, and seeing where the trouble was coming from. "Looks like the pony's got some power! Almost as much as the Princesses." Recoome pointed out, which caused us all to chuckle at the small power level. We decided to stay up in the air, and wait to see what the arriving Mane six would do. "You finally arrived Twilight Sparkle! And now The Great and Powerful Trixie can have her revenge!" Trixie Lulamoon yelled, laughing maniacally. The alicorn amulet around her neck shined red, and her eyes followed suit. "Trixie! What are you doing!" Twilight yelled back, not understanding why she was casting magical spells on the innocent ponies of Ponyville. "What is the Great and Powerful Trixie doing? She's getting your attention so the Great and Powerful Trixie can finally have her revenge!" Trixie yelled, as she zapped a nearby pony into a dancing banana. "Stop it Trixie!" Twilight yelled back. "Only if you manage to beat the Great and Powerful Trixie in... MAGICAL COMBAT!" Trixie's voice changed as she said those last two words, sounding more like an announcer yelling. Twilight hesitantly looked at her friends, who nodded for Twilight to do so. But as she started walking up to Trixie, five figures dropped in front of her. "Stand back Ms. Sparkle. We'll deal with this." Captain Ginyu said. Trixie took one look at the Ginyu Force, and burst out laughing. "Pathetic Twilight! Hiding behind a bunch of freaks because she's too scared to fight the Great and Powerful Trixie!" Ginyu just chuckled. "Men. Introductions." As they introduce themselves, they all strike a pose. "Ginyu!" "Jeice!" "Burter!" "Guldo!" "Recoome!" "And together we are..." Music started playing before several strange voices spoke out and said "Ginyu Tokusentai!" Before a symbol with a 'v' and strange writing appeared on Ginyu's butt as he was posing. "Tokusentai!" Each Ginyu Force member yelled out a different part of the word. "Tokusentai!" A disembodied voice yelled out. "Tokusentai!" The Ginyu Force finished by yelling it out at once, and the music stopped. The mane six all blushed at that, being embarrassed that they know these clowns. The uncomfortable silence ended with Trixie bursting out laughing. "These five are the freaks Twilight is hiding behind! They're only worthy of being the Great and Powerful Trixie's jesters! She shall show them true power!" "Umm... Ginyu Force?" Applejack asked, causing the group to turn. "Which one of you is gonna fight her?" "Guldo." They all spoke at once, except for Guldo, who was surprised and stuttering. "What?! Why me?! We didn't even determine who should fight!" Guldo exclaimed, not used to not using rock-paper-scissors. "Because you have the ability to annoy the crap out of her. Just do your specialties." Ginyu said with a smile. Guldo had a look of realization on his face, before he smiled. "Can do Captain!" Guldo stretched a bit, and Trixie burst out laughing again. "You're sending the smallest freak against me! The Great and Powerful Trixie! I shall have this over in a blink of an eye!" She shot a beam of red lightning at Guldo, who thrust his arms out, and took a deep breath. A millisecond later, Trixie was flung into a building by Guldo, who was right next to where Trixie was previous. The ponies watching just blinked in surprise. "What was that?!" Twilight asked. "He didn't do that afterimage thing, and he didn't even look like he dodged. He just appeared right next to Trixie!" "Guldo's special ability is that he can stop time." Twilight blinked. "It's kinda complicated, but as long as he holds his breath, he can keep time frozen." Twilight stuttered. "Time stopping! Even the Princesses would have trouble doing that! How!" Ginyu sighed. "We don't use magic. We use ki, remember? So we have different potentials when it comes to power. We might not be that good at telekinesis like you are, but we can do tricks that even the most advanced unicorns and alicorns can't do." Twilight had a blank look, as I reminded her of the different rules. As the pony who calls herself Trixie pulled herself out of the building, she yelled. "YOU DARE HARM THE GREAT AND POWERFUL TRIXIE!" She then fired several beams of red magic at me. I took a deep breath in, and thrust my hands out. "TIME FREEZE!" The second I yelled that, everything stopped, and I quickly ran over to Trixie, before taking a breath in, and slapping her across the face. She looked shocked at that for a second, before I slapped her again, and again. "SLAP! SLAP! SLAP! SLAPPITY SLAP SLAP! THE SLAPITIEST SLAPPY SLAP FOR YOU TO BE SLAPPED BY!" I yelled in her face, before eventually flying backwards to avoid her blast of magic. "I WILL END YOUR MISERABLE LIFE, YOU UGLY FREAK!" She screamed, going into a blind rage, as she charged at me, covering her body in her magic to protect herself. I held out my arms, and sent a burst of my power out, and yelling, as I held Trixie up in a powerful physic field, and she visibly struggled, trying to get free. "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO TRIXIE!" I laughed after she said that. "What have I done?! I trapped you in a physic field! Go ahead, try to escape, it's impossible!" She struggled again, and even tried to bring up some magic, but it didn't work. "Now, let's get that necklace, shall we?" I reach out with my ki, and surround the necklace with it, and gave it a tug. When it didn't come loose, I blinked in surprise. "Oh... a cursed necklace. Oh well, I can leave you up there until you decide to finally take off the necklace. I hope you preformed your basic functions lately, because you won't have a chance to as long as you're up there." I pulled over a chair, and was about to sit down, when the chair I pulled over got blasted into ashes. "What the?!" I quickly turned around to see a small pokemon child(?) with a black hat, white skin, two red cheeks, and a green and red shirt. "Dodon ray!" Chiaotzu yelled, as he fired a beam of ki at me. I quickly tried to dodge it, but felt myself stuck in place, as the beam hit my chest. I grunted in pain, before looking down, noticing my armor had a hole in it, but luckily not my body. I quickly flew into the air and charged my ki into my hands. "Energy barrage!" I fired several energy blasts at Chiaotzu, who wasn't fast enough to dodge most of the beams. He yelled in pain before retaliating by using his ki to lift up a house, and threw it at me. "Kamehameha!" I yelled, causing the house to break into smaller pieces, which then I froze time, making sure no ponies would be crushed by the debris. I watched with worry on my face as Guldo continued to battle Chiaotzu. I noticed Trixie was freed from the physic field, and watching the battle, with ever increasing fear in her eyes as she realized how she didn't even stand a chance against a fighter who is much stronger than the ponies that move the sun and moon. I Instant Transmissioned over to her, and spoke. "So, now you're realizing how futile your attacks were to Guldo?" "But how?! This Alicorn Amulet should be able to make me stronger than any foe! I should be as strong as Princess Celestia!" She asked, confused, and I just chuckled. "Celestia is weak compared to us. I estimate Guldo is around 7.3 Celestias, and I myself am around 24.8 Celestias." That made her jaw drop. "As you can tell, we're not from around here. In fact, we're not even the strongest from where we came from. Our worlds have planet destroying monsters, and Gods of Destruction. Your world has two ponies who can only move the sun and moon." I looked back at the battle to see Guldo was floating in the air, with a heavily injured Chiaotzu laying in a crater on the ground. "Special Beam Cannon!" He yelled, thrusting his finger towards Chiaotzu, causing a spiraling beam to come crashing down on the small Z-fighter, disintegrating him. Guldo floated back down to the ground, and looked to Trixie. "Alright! Who's next!" Trixie quickly ripped off the Alicorn Amulet, and booked it out of the town. Chuckling, I picked up the Amulet, just as the Mane six ran over to me. "Good job Guldo! You stopped Trixie!" Twilight exclaimed. "And now we can hide that Alicorn Amulet where nopony will ever find it!" "Yeah... I have a better idea." I crushed the amulet in my hand, turning it to ash, as it fell to the ground, useless. "There. Now no one can use it's power again." Twilight looked shocked, before mumbling to herself. "Why didn't I think of that?" A diamond dog quickly runs through the cave system, before arriving at the big red doors that housed the Alpha dog. The lone dog chuckled nervously at the sight of the two big muscular dogs guarding the door. "What you want with Alpha?" The dog on the right demanded. "Only dog with good reason can see Alpha." The one on the left continued. "I's find rare gem! Alpha need to see!" The diamond dog said, sweating profusely and giving a worried smile. Both guards looked at each other, before nodded, and opening the door for the smaller dog. The dog quickly entered, and slowly walked up to the Alpha's desk. "I's busy! This better be good!" The Alpha demanded, as he spun his chair around to look at the cowering dog. "Is good! Is good! I's find rare gem! Never seen before!" The smaller dog held out the 'gem' to show the Alpha. The Alpha picked up the gem, and looked it over with a careful eye, and soon after, a magnifying glass. "This is rare! I's keep it!" The Alpha said with a smile, making the diamond dog's ears perk up. "Does I get reward?" "No!" The Alpha yelled, slamming the table. "Why's you get reward, when I's the one who finds rare gem?!" "B-but!" The dog tried to complain, but the Alpha cut him off. "Back to work! Now!" The dog quickly scrambled out of the office, and back to mining for gems. The Alpha chuckled, before looking over the 'gem' again. It was an orange sphere, with one lone red star in it. > Gods and Squads > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- As cracks form in the stone statue, a maniacal laugh was heard coming from within. "Yes! I'm finally free! Now, I can get revenge on the ponies that imprisoned me!" The voice spoke, as the stone completely crumbled, exposing freak of nature. It was the chimera to and all chimeras. Even a chimera who was part of a science project to see what would happen if you add more animal parts to a chimera called it the ugliest thing it's ever seen, before stabbing both of it's eyes out, and bleeding to death. With a snap of his fingers, he was gone in a bright light. I sat on the sidelines, watching as my men/friends trained, and I watched, while drinking a cup of coffee. But we were cut off from an important part of our daily schedule when we heard a loud scream. Quickly moving, we tracked down the location of the screamer, only to find Spike about to be gobbled by a larger dragon. I just sighed, before looking back to my men. "I'll get Spike, you guys teach the dragon a lesson." They all nodded, and in a flash, Spike was in my hands several yards in the air, and the dragon was being kicked, punched and blasted. Eventually, the dragon gave up, roaring, and fleeing as quickly as it could. Seeing it safe, I slowly floated down, and dropped Spike. "Why did you come into the Everfree, Spike?" "It's Discord! He's been freed again! He corrupted Twilight and her friends again! I barely escaped, and came to get you to help!" He said, panicking. I thought about what this could mean, before I realized something. "Discord intended for you to escape, so he could perhaps being planning a trap for us." Spike's eyes widened, fear evident in them, as he thought that the only hope left was going to be extinguished. I just gave an evil grin. "But we have our own secrets." And, I grabbed Spike, before tapping my forehead, using Instant Transmission to teleport us straight into Ponyville. When we entered, I noticed how different the town looked. The once peaceful place looked ruined, some buildings were on 'water' a fire that was made of water, and others were upside down and rightside left. I stared solemnly at the chaos, before motioning for my friends to follow me, as I heard a group of people talking. Sneaking through the town, we eventually arrived in front of Twilight's house, to see Discord standing there, laughing, as the Mane six preformed trivial tasks, like preforming various sitcoms from Earth. I turned back to look at my men, and sighed, knowing that Discord would be a challenge for us to fight due to his power. He may have a weak power level like the Princesses, but it's all about how you use your power to win a fight. "Guldo, you go out there, and it should activate his trap, and then Recoome, you fight him. Got it?" I told Guldo I was using him as bait, so he would know I still care about him, and hopefully won't be surprised. Guldo nodded, and ran off into the small clearing, before yelling at Discord. "Hey Discord! Leave the ponies alone!" He yelled, and Discord turned to look at him, before Guldo blasted him with several energy blasts. The blasts made Discord flicker, before a snapping sound was heard, and a black cage landed on Guldo, trapping him in it's anti-ki powers. Discord reappeared right next to the cage, laughing. "You seriously thought I wouldn't prepare for you to try and stop me! I know all of your little secrets, like how you can stop time, and fire energy. Well, this cage will prevent you from using your 'ki' as you call it. Now, how are you going to escape? Are your little friends going to break their code, and attack me with another member? If not, you'll be stuck in there until I finally decide to let you go!" He ended his speech with a laugh. But he was surprised when Guldo started laughing too. I looked to Recoome, who quickly nodded, and got into position. "You think that I wouldn't have a trick for escaping this place? Well, guess again!" Then, with a loud yell, and the thrusting of his two hands, Discord was surrounded with a purple swirling aura, and he struggled, trying to escape. "I can also do this! You'll never be able to escape! Recoome! Now!" Discord was barely able to see Recoome standing several yards away. I quickly looked to Burter, who nodded, and grabbed all the ponies in the way, and brought them over here. It seemed that due to Guldo's psychic... thingy, Discord's mind control over the mane six stopped, and they looked around confused. "What happened?" Twilight asked. "Discord appeared earlier, and mind controlled all of you! So I quickly went to go get the Ginyu Force to help!" Spike proclaimed, hugging Twilight, not wanting to lose her again. "Thanks Ginyu Force." Twilight said, thanking us, and I just nodded. She decided to watch the fight, and was surprised by Discord being held in Guldo' psychic field, and Recoome was starting to pose for his attack. "Recoome!" He yelled, as he leaned over, getting in what most would assume to be a fighting position. Twilight looked at me confused. "Why is he just posing?" The other mane six gathered to watch what Recoome was doing. "Because he's preparing an attack. You're all lucky we were able to get you out of the way in time, or you might no longer be here, along with a good part of your town." I said, and Jeice, Burter, and I all shared a smile, and a small laugh. "Well, whatever he's using, it can't be so powerful it can destroy Ponyville right?! It would take a massive blast from the princesses just to level part of the town!" She tried to reason. "Just watch." I said simply, as we looked back at Recoome. Recoome then stood back up again,and put both of his gloved hands against his forward, and had his fists cross each other, before yelling again. "Eraser gun!" Then, a large and powerful red and white beam came out of Recoome's mouth, and fired forward, hitting Discord dead on, and destroying everything in it's path. Before it could leave the town, I quickly destroyed the beam before it could destroy anything else. I looked back at the ponies, and smiled as I saw their reactions. They all had their jaws glued to the ground, as they stared at the destruction of the beam. Recoome quickly went to get Guldo out of the cage, and he succeeded, until a giant bomb appeared next to them, and blew up before they could react, causing them to be flung into walls, and both appear heavily damaged. A slow clapping sound was heard, as Discord appeared, floating down from the sky. "Impressive light show you put on. But you failed, and now two of your members are too defeated to fight." Panicking, I looked to Burter and Jeice. "Double team him men! Show him the true force of the Ginyu Tokusentai!" They both quickly nodded, and shot after Discord, and got ready to fight him. While they were fighting, I quickly brought my injured teammates over to the alley we were in. The ponies gasped at the damages done. Both of their armor was mostly gone, and the under-suit was torn and ripped at several places. Their bodies were bleeding heavily, and they were both unconscious. "Wait! Why are you sending two at a time at Discord?! Not that I'm complaining, but you don't usually do that!" Twilight asked. I sighed, before looking at her. "We're not the exact same Ginyu Force we were based off of. We don't have to act the same as them, meaning if we wanted to, we could all fight at once against a foe. We just do rock-paper-scissors because of everyone's reaction to it. But, even if we do try to all work together, it doesn't always work, as DBZ logic applies here, with stuff like being physically unable to dodge most ultimate attacks, or having to yell to gain power." Fluttershy was helping me with the first aid, and soon my two friends were wrapped in a lot of bandages. With that taken care of, we started to watch the fight again, and noticed that Jeice and Burter were getting defeated. They both looked at each other, and both sighed, before talking to each other in a very familiar manner. "What the bleedin’ ‘ell?! We were havin’ a right ripsnorter ‘ere and then this piker shows up and just like that it’s 'Good Night, Irene'!" I chuckled, as I heard Jeice change his voice to the TFS version. Then, just because, Twilight spoke up, annoyed. "We get it! You're from Space Australia!" She even spoke exactly like a space duck Krillin. "He’s making fools out of us, Jeice!" Burter replied, his voice changing as well to a more cliche reptilian one. "You’re bloomin’ right ‘e is! We’d better bust out our special technique!" Jeice continued. And then they both yelled, 'Seizure Procedure!'" And started doing the technique. As I was looking away, I noticed that all the ponies were smartly looking away, except for Twilight, who was foaming at the mouth as she looked directly into the technique. After they were done, Discord was left unfazed. Before they could even speak their last line, Discord, with a snap of his fingers, knocked both Burter and Jeice with a giant hammer. I quickly grabbed them before they could hit a wall, and brought them over to the alley, where they could be healed. Getting angry, I slowly walked out into the small clearing, and stared at Discord, who only had a smug smile on his face. "So, now you're going to fight me? How on Equestria are you going to beat me if your friends couldn't? Do you have a special trick I don't know about, that your going to surprise me by?" 'Oh, you have no idea.' "Yes I do. It's called the 'I'm going to kill you' technique, passed down by my people for ages." I remarked, and then clenched my arms at my sides, and screamed as loud as I could, until I got to my full power. I heard the snap of Discord's fingers, and quickly kicked the bomb into his face, which it exploded, causing him to scream in pain, as his face was severely burned and had shrapnel in it. By the time he was able to snap his fingers, and heal his face, I was already in it, and fired a massive super kamehameha at him, blasting him back, and mostly disintegrated him. I heard another snap of his fingers, and suddenly Discord was in my face, with one of those boxing gloves that require you to push two sticks, and it would quickly stretch out, and punch someone. Discord used a lot of force, which meant that when the glove hit me, I was slammed into a wall. I quickly pulled myself out, and spat out some blood, before dodging a massive cannonball Discord fired at me. "AR! Ye shall walk the plank, ye scurvy dog!" He yelled on top of his cannon, and was even wearing cliched pirate clothes. Smirking, I put some of my energy into my hand, and a blade of my own energy shot out of my arm, and I flew forward, cutting up each cannonball fired. I quickly arrived at the cannon, and cut it up quickly, before putting my blade against Discord's throat. He was about to snap, so I quickly used super explosive wave, blowing him back and preventing him from snapping, which bought me enough time to create three destructo discs under my control, and keep them each right above each of his hands, and his tail, which he could make snap like a hand. "Any last words bud?" I said in his face, and was surprised when Discord smiled. I heard another snapping noise, and quickly cut down on each of Discord's selected parts (meaning his neck, hands, and tail), before realizing that the Discord I just did that to was a clone. I turned around in time, to get a giant flyswatter to my face, which blasted me into another wall. "Give up yet?!" He yelled, as I pushed myself out of the wall again. I gave a demonic smile, as I wiped the blood from my cheek, and whispered something in a low voice. "Such a powerful body." Then I yelled. "I want it!" I stuck my right hand out, and had it glow with my energy, before doing something that surprised everyone watching. I stabbed my hand through my stomach, making sure it went all the way through, before pulling it out, and looked at a shocked Discord straight in the eyes. I coughed out a bit of my blue blood, before sticking both of my arms up into the air, and shouted. "You're Mine!" > A Brief Intermission > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Nail!" A voice called out. Soon after being called, a tall Namekian walked up to the one who called. The Namekians are slug-like people, who live in piece with each other. Most Namekians are completely green, and have two antennae on their head, with pointed ears. The Namekian bowed down. "What is it, Lord Guru?" He said, trying to hide his disdain for his job. "I need you to go to a planet populated with albino Namekians." Lord Guru said wisely. "Why, Lord Guru?" Nail asked, wondering why the grand elder of the Namekians would send him to another planet. But, in his mind, he realized that if he got sent to another world, he would be away from Lord Guru. "To kill them." Lord Guru said. "Slowly." He added. "As much as I would love to, I have to ask, how will I get to this planet?" He asked. "Use Dende's Dende-rocket." Lord Guru answered. Nail was confused. "Wha-what?" "Na na na na na na na na Dende!" Guru yelled. "What are you singing, Lord Guru?" "See, this is why we need TV!" "Alright troops! You've done well during your special training!" A white unicorn yelled, as he walked past the soldiers he's training. "But you still need to practice the most important ability!" "What is this ability?! Why is it so important sir?!" A soldier asked. Shining Armor, just stared at the soldier who spoke out. "The most important ability you need to learn is..." Shining Armor's horn glowed. "How to DODGE!" He yelled, and he threw the soldier at a mountain. Two white pods flew past another planet, heading for a certain location. "Hey, Vegeta." The person in one pod asked the person in the other pod. "What is it, Nappa?" The irritated voice of the person in the other pod asked. "Are we there yet?" Nappa asked. Vegeta sighed. "No, Nappa." "Hey, Vegeta?" Nappa asked. "What is it, Nappa?" Vegeta asked, getting more irritated. "Are we there yet?" Nappa asked again. "No, Nappa." Silence befell the two pods for half a minute, before Nappa spoke again. "Hey, Vegeta?" "What is it, Nappa?" Vegeta asked, getting angry at his comrade. Nappa didn't answer for a few seconds. "Are we there yet?" He spoke in a softer voice than before. "AHHHHHHH!" Vegeta screamed. "Are you okay, Vegeta?" Nappa asked his screaming friend. "Y-yes, j-just had an aneurysm out of sheer stupidity." Vegeta answered, calming down. "Wow. Didn't think you were that stupid, Vegeta." Nappa replied. "AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Vegeta screamed again. "You're all doing good, but you keep forgetting the most important lesson!" Shining Armor yelled to his troops. A nervous soldier asked. "A-and that is?" Shining Armor smiled. "DODGE!" "All these squares make a circle. All these squares make a circle. All these squares make a circle." Mr. Popo said over and over again, as he stared at the floor of the lookout. "Mr. Popo. Did you drink another gallon of LSD again?" Kami asked the master of Shenron. "*****! Don't tell me what to do!" Mr. Popo yelled at Kami, before kicking him off the lookout. In a space ship far away A certain space lord was floating in midair using their weird floaty pod thingy, and had a television remote in their hand, as they scrolled through what was on Space Hulu and Space Netflix. "Boring. Seen it. So overrated. Know how it ends. Stupid looking. Oh, what's this?" Frieza leaned forward in his/her(?) seat, as a certain program popped up. "How to be a Space Nepol-Hitler?" Frieza thought about it for a moment. "Nah. Maybe there are some more episodes of Wheel of Death?" "Hey guys, I think we're getting the hang of these new training lessons." One guard said to another, who nodded. Suddenly, they were both hit by a powerful burst of electric magic, and fell to the ground, spasming. "DODGE!" > Alternate Bodies > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "You're Mine!" Right as Ginyu yelled those words, the sky seemed to change color, and a faded image of Ginyu appeared above his head, along with one of Discord above Discord's head. Discord seemed to be struggling with something, as he looked to be in huge amounts of pain. "What's wrong Discord?! Can't move! That's because my ultimate technique is unable to be dodged!" Discord's eyes widened in fear, not knowing that the captain of the Ginyu Force had a technique that could completely stop him in his tracks like this. "You wanna know what it does?!" Then, Ginyu yelled, and both Ginyu and Discord were flashing in several different colors, before Ginyu said two words that made everyone shocked. "Change now!" Then, a blinding yellow and white beam shot out of Ginyu's mouth and entered Discord's. Both of their bodies stopped changing colors, and Ginyu was smiling while Discord was looking on in fear, as the ethereal Ginyu flew through the beam, entering Discord's body, and the ethereal Discord did the same. The light show continued on for a few more seconds, until it quickly disappeared and Discord was looking at Ginyu with a dark smile. He then started laughing in a voice that sounded exactly like Ginyu's. "It worked! And on the first try too!" Ginyu looked shocked at Discord. "Wha-what did you do! WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME!" He yelled in Discord's voice. Discord stopped laughing, and turned to face Ginyu. "Oh, you didn't figure it out? I thought the whole 'I want your body' and the 'you're mine!' along with our souls switching over. But if I have to explain it to you, then I guess you could say I swapped bodies with you, using the body change technique. Ginyu Discord gasped, before falling to the ground in pain, as he grasped the hole in his gut. Discord Ginyu laughed one more time, before snapping his fingers, and teleporting over to his unconscious friends. "Let's get you guys back up." He said, before snapping his fingers, and causing most of all their wounds fade. They all shot up, and immediately looked at Ginyu in shock, before getting into fighting poses. "Calm men! I used the body change technique!" "Prove it!" Jeice asked, wanting to make sure. "What's your favorite food?" "Whatever that food Captain Ginyu mentioned in Dragonball Z abridged. He spoke too fast to make it out, but I think it was a salad of some kind." I answered, knowing that they now all knew I was their captain. The Ginyu Force instantly calmed, and all started laughing. "You actually managed to pull that off Captain?!" Jeice asked, and Ginyu gave a wide smile in return. "I even got his powers. I may not have much control yet, but I can do the things on a bigger scale than what I could do before. I wasn't able to fully heal all of you, though, so be careful." The four Ginyu Force members looked down at themselves, and noticed that they all did have a few cuts and bruises, not enough to make them unable to fight, but enough to prevent them from fighting at full power. "Wait, so your saying you switched bodies with Discord?" Twilight asked, slowly walking up to us. "Yep. It's a technique I know. In fact it's the first time I've used it, and I got it right on the first try." I looked down at my mismatched hands, one a lion paw, and the other an eagle talon. "It might take a while to get used to this body." "You idiot." I heard a familiar voice say from behind me. I turned around to see Discord in my body, slowly limping over here. "You don't know what you've done. It could ruin the entire fabric of the universe!" "Okay, what have I done?" I asked, thinking that he's lying, but wanting to make sure. "You've..." He didn't finish his sentence, as he was attacked by a newcomer from behind. As Discord fell down, grabbing the new wound on his chest in pain, I saw who attacked him from behind. "Tien." I spoke, keeping an eye on the three eyed human. Before anyone could say anything, Tien stuck out his finger, and yelled. "Dodon ray!" A small yellow beam quickly flew straight at me, and I barely dodged, before looking at Tien, who decided for fire more of the beams. I was barely able to dodge them, but the last one left a small cut on my new lion paw shoulder. I snapped my fingers, and managed to heal myself. "Darn it! This body isn't as fast or strong as my body!" Then, I realized something. "But this body can spawn stuff too." Then, with a dark smile, I snapped both my hands, creating a pool of lava underneath Tien, and also created two stone walls next to him, which I quickly brought together to crush him. But with a blast of energy, Tien jumped off the small bit of lava, before firing several ki blasts at me. With another snap of my fingers, a mirror appeared in front of me that reflected the energy back to him. Tien quickly dodged the energy beams, and we had a little staring contest, until he did something unexpected. He quickly split into four different Tiens, and they all started attacking me from different sides. I tried to snap, but I got kicked into a wall before I could. When I tried to snap again, I was blasted with several ki beams. The second I had a chance to snap, I was able to temporarily blow them all away, but it gave me enough time to fly over to where Discord was laying, and grab him by the shoulders, holding him up to my face. "Your body is weak! Change now!" Discord gave a confused look, before the light quickly changed our bodies, and I was dropped to the ground, back in my own body. "What the?" Discord said, not understanding what was happening. I just grunted, and quickly got up, before using my ki to cauterize my body's wounds, before quickly charging at Tien. I slammed Tien into a wall, before flying backwards, and charged up my energy in my hands. "Energy barrage!" I yelled, as I fired countless ki blasts at the human. I felt his ki disappear from where I was hitting him, and appear right behind me. I turned around, only to get slapped into the ground. As I got up, I noticed Tien was floating higher than before, and his hands were forming a triangle. "Shin-Kikoho!" As the bright beam of light traveled towards me, I had one thought. 'Did he just use the Japanese name for the Neo Tri-beam?' I was then blasted into the ground. "GAH!" I yelled as I felt the energy burn me. "KIKOHO!" He shouted over and over again. "KIKOHO! KIKOHO! KIKOHO!" Suddenly, I felt a deep anger surge within me. I flew upwards, out of the crater left by the Neo Tri-Beams, and kept flying straight through each energy beam, until I was up to Tien's level. "IT'S NOT KIKOHO! IT'S CALLED TRI-BEAM!" Then, with a powerful punch, he was sent flying into the ground, where I then flew up to him, stood above his body, and put my hands into a triangle in the same motions he did. "TRI-BEAM, HA!" With a bright flash of light, and a fading yell, Tien was disintegrated. "That's how you do it, you upstart triclops jerk." Then, I felt the repeated battle wounds catch up to me, and I fell to the ground, barely staying awake. "You killed him." Discord said in shock, as he floated over to where I was. "I had to." I replied. "Direct orders from King Kai. Plus, something is wrong with them. They seemed to be filled with some sort of negative energy, and they will keep coming back if I don't end them." I coughed up some of my blood, as my vision starts to fade. But suddenly, I felt my body healed, and I quickly stood up, to see Discord had just finished snapping. "What the?" "You could have kept my body. Heck, you could have done something to my body that would have killed me the second we switched again. But I could tell you refrained from doing it. Why? I was harming your friends, and just causing chaos everywhere." Discord asked, confused. I chuckled a bit. "Because you aren't fully evil at all. Chaos is a step towards destruction, but I felt that you might be able to help in the future." I looked around at the destroyed houses, and imagined what would have happened if Discord was more destructive, or even didn't save the ponies while I was fighting Tien. "More and more powerful people are showing up, and destroying the world, and killing ponies. I'm worried about when they get too strong for me to handle. Like if Vegeta or Goku show up." I shivered. "And there are gods of destruction out there. I was hoping that maybe you could help us. With stopping the unnecessary destruction and the like. Besides, it would probably be more fun than just brain-washing everyone, which would get boring after a while." I gave a small smile, as I looked at Discord's face, who was thinking it over. Eventually, he responded. "Milord! We found this in the mountains!" A griffon ran up to the throne, before stopping, and bowing before his king. The lone griffon held out a small container, which almost seemed to give off a magical vibe. "Well, what is it?!" The King asked, this griffon's lack of speaking getting on the irritable king's nerves. The griffon jumped a bit, before handed the box to a servant, who handed it to the griffon who's job it is to hand the King stuff like this. The King took the box, and opened it up, before his eyes widened at the sight of what was in it. The griffon decided to speak up at this. "The mining team found it in the mountains. It seems like it's been there for centuries! Perhaps even longer than the Equestrian Princesses!" The King thought about this, as he's been wanting an object powerful enough to allow him to take over Equestria. 'Hmm... an object even older than those meddling Princesses? They might not even know about it! I can finally get revenge for forcing my kind to live like this! To think, the once mighty Griffon race is forced to obey what some pretty pony princesses say!' The King stared back into the box with a wide smile, as he looked upon the orange orb of magical power. And in this orb, were three red stars. > Black Water Mist > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- “That all you got you overgrown kitten?!” Jeice yelled, as he easily dodged a swipe from a manticore. He then grabbed the manticore’s tail when it swung at him, before spinning around and letting go, causing the manticore to be slammed into a tree. Before it could recover, Jeice jumped on it’s back, and jabbed his hand through the back of it’s neck, effectively killing it. “Alright, guys, who wants Manticore meat tonight?!” He asked, as he held up the dead manticore. “I know I do!” Recoome exclaimed. And with a flash, we all used Instant Transmission to head to our base. After an hour or so, we were sitting at our table, eating cooked manticore, which is actually quite delicious. Jeice was the one who cooked it, as he was quite a good chef before we got Displaced. “Good meal as always Jeice.” I said as I took another bite of meat. “Thanks Cap.” He responded, and we sat back in silence, as we ate. Well, silence until Recoome chewed on something hard. “Ow!” Recoome yelled, as he dropped his utensils in surprise, before reaching up, and tried to pull something out of his mouth. When he succeeded, he held it out for us to figure out what it was. It looked like a soda can with green and black stripes. We all just stared at it, surprised. “Why was that in Recoome’s meal?” I asked Jeice, who was just as baffled as I was. “I don’t know Cap! Maybe it somehow got inside the Manticore!” Jeice replied. I grabbed the object from Recoome, and looked it over. “Feels like some kind of Displaced token. But the question is who could it be?” I rubbed my chin in thought. “Maybe it belongs to a game character or something?” Guldo pointed out. “No.” I told him. “The coloration feels familiar. Let’s take it outside and call forth whoever it belongs to.” They all nodded, and we quickly walked outside, before closing up the entrance to our base. We kept walking until we got to a small clearing. “Alright, lets do this.” I held out the token, and spoke. “We call forth whoever this token belongs to!” I yelled hoping that it would work. Suddenly, a burst of green light went off and a rather tired looking young man appeared. "I swear to Yggdrasil, I'm going to break my tokens..." He sighed, looking around. "What is it this time?" “Well, your token interrupted our meal.” I carefully responded. Something feels off about this person. His ki is hard to locate, as if he were some kind of god. “And we were also curious about who the token belongs too.” Out of the corner of my eye, I see Guldo freeze up, as if he saw a ghost. "Oh great...the milk force..." He said before sitting on the ground, looking exhausted. While I did feel anger at being insulted like that, I was more worried if he was okay. “Are you okay? I’m sorry for summoning you if you were in the middle of something.” This time, Burter froze up out of the corner of my eye. "No its just...this is the...fifth time I've been summoned in a row and I'm just...tired..." I cringed at that. “That must suck.” I was about to say something else, but both Recoome and Jeice froze up as well. “Okay, what the hell is wrong with you, men?! Out with it!” I yelled at them, wondering why they’re freezing up. “Cap, look.” Jeice managed to say, as he pointed a finger at the sky. I looked, and I saw a layer of evil looking purple mist slowly covering the tips of the Everfree Forest. As soon as I saw that, I froze up as well. “Black water mist.” I said, and I noticed it was coming this way. Fast. “Crap! Guldo, can you make that barrier you were practising?” I quickly switched to leader mode. Guldo noddded, and thrusted his hands out, creating a barrier around the entire clearing. The black water mist quickly passed by, unable to get into the barrier. I stood there, looking at it, waiting for it to pass by. After a minute, it did, and Guldo lowered the barrier. “Captain, if the black water mist is here…” Guldo pointed out. “Then Garlic Jr. is as well.” I continued, before looking at the Displaced we summoned. “Look, can you help us with this? I don’t think we can deal with this on our own. We’re trying to protect Equestria.” "Yeah, I can do that..." He said nodding, "In exchange for some scans." He said, pulling himself to his feet, wobbling a little. “Scans?” I asked, before noticing the peculiar watch on his wrist, and I smacked my forehead. “Oh! You got Displaced with the Omnitrix! That’s why those colors on the token felt familiar! But yeah, you can have some scans. But be careful, I’m going to assume that even if you turn into a different form of any of us, you might start spewing random Japanese, or TFS moments. It happens to all of us from time to time.” “Hey Captain, why does he need scans of us?” Recoome asked, confused. "I scan everything," our guest explained, "That reminds me...is Recoome human?" “Nope. The wiki classifies him as a mutant, but it doesn’t seem to be true. Jeice is the only one who has a race we know. He’s sometimes a Brench-Saijin, and sometimes a Space Australian.” I answered. "Stupid DBZ..." He grumbled, moving to each of us, the Omnitrix scanning us with a yellow beam. "Ok introductions, my name is Jason Hughes, one of the last four Jotun and ruler of jotunhiem." I suddenly smiled at the word ‘introductions.’ “Men…” I said, and suddenly the Ginyu Tokusentai song started playing as we started posing. “GINYU!” “JEICE!” “BURTER!” “GULDO!” “RECOOME!” “And together, we are…” “THE GINYU FORCE!” We all yelled at once, as the music stopped. We then got out of our poses. "Ok...question...got a sensu bean?" Jason asked, not batting an eyebrow at us. “No. Celestia and Luna destroyed the last senzus a thousand years ago. But if you need energy, I can give you some of mine.” I offered. "No...I got it," he reached into his pocket, pulling out a strangely familiar fruit. "I was hoping to save this but now is as good a time as any." He quickly wolfed it down, grunting as his body bulged with muscle for a brief moment before returning to normal. “...Okay…” I said, surprised, before sounds of fighting and destruction from Ponyville reached my ears. “Crap! Forgot about the black water mist! Ponyville’s been infected!” I was about to blast off towards Ponyville, but I stopped to look at Jason. “I’m assuming you can fly? Stinkfly or Heatblast prehaps?” "Omnitrix, Second Sight," he commanded, shifting into Mewtwo, "As you can see, I scan a lot of things." “Then you can probably teleport, which should make things easier. See you at Ponyville.” I said, before tapping my fingers against my head, and using Instant Transmission to arrive above Ponyville several times faster than light. I heard my men appear behind me, as I looked upon the destruction of Ponyville. Ponies were beating up each other in the streets. Blasts of magic of every color lit up the sky. Pegasi were slamming into each other. I looked closer to see each of Mane Six fighting each other. Applejack was trying to choke Rainbow Dash. Twilight was trying to stop Pinkie Pie, who’s mane was flat, as she tried to stab her. Even Fluttershy was commanding animals to attack the others. “Just look at the destruction and chaos Cap.” Jeice pointed out. I heard a snapping sound, and Discord appeared next to us. “I’m trying to stop whatever is happening! But it’s like thye’re breaking through my chaos!” Discord said, as he looked like he’s been through a washer. “What is this stuff?” “Black water mist. Garlic Jr. is using it to take control of everyone who breathes it in. It makes one crazy. Oh, and make sure not to get bit. That’s how it spreads without breathing it in.” I answered, as I waited for Jason to show up. “There has to be a way to stop them from killing each other. The flight to the Lookout would take an hour at the least. I’m sure as hell not Instant Transmissioning my way there. You never know when Mr. Popo is having a ‘booty call.’ And knowing him, he would have one while the Lookout was being attacked.” "I miss much?" Jason asked, appearing next to me, "Oh that's just lovely..." “Do you know anything we could do to stop them for an hour or two? If we can get the cure out into the winds, they’ll turn back to normal. I’m worried someone is going to die.” I asked Jason. Right as I said that, I fired a small beam of ki at Applejack’s rope, before it could completely kill Rainbow Dash. "Omnitrix, Gutrot," Jason commented, shifting into a green suited, purple skinned being covered in nozzles. "Might want to cover your faces." He moved away, orange gas starting to shoot out of the nuzzles, ponies dropping like flies when the growing cloud hit them. “What was that?” I asked, never seeing an alien like that before. "Knockout gas," Jason explained, "This is Gutrot, he can produce and emit gases." I nodded. “Okay, makes sense. Now that that’s taken care of, we can stop the source. The Lookout is in that direction,” I pointed to the west. “But make sure you don’t teleport. Last time we teleported there, we say things we shouldn’t see. Things no creature should see.” We all shivered at the memory. “Do you have an alien that can fly as fast as light? If not faster? Because I don’t want you to get lost on the way there. Creatures under the effects of black water mist can be incredibly dangerous.” "Well, I got two, and they seem appropriate, Omnitrix, Keel," he commanded, shifting into a tall, humanoid with spikey black hair and a monkey tail. “A Saiyan?” I asked, surprised. “Who is that one based off of? Any Saiyan from the show?” "I helped a Displaced Majin Buu take down Legendary Super Saiyan 4 Broly. I don't recommend it, I got shoot into a planet, which then exploded." He said shuddering. “Super Saiyan 4 Broly?” I asked in disbelief. “You do realize that you can’t take down Broly right? He always reappears. Plus Super Saiyan 4 isn’t really canon any more. Got replaced with Super Saiyan God, and Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan.” A thought suddenly occurred to me. “Oh man, if we have to battle Freiza, we would be screwed. Or if we had to battle Beerus. Even if we had to battle Dumplin we would be screwed.” I shook my head, getting rid of the thought. “Can’t worry about that now. Have to save world. Just follow us, and we’ll show you the way. Ginyu Force! Move out!” We all took a pose that made us look like we were about to run, and then we all burst away from our starting spot, flying at speeds well over light speed. Within an hour, I saw the Lookout in the distance. We all stopped in the air, and looked around for trouble. The Lookout was a mess, trees were destroyed, flowers torn from the ground, the floor and walls crumbling. We quickly landed, and I called out for Mr. Popo. “Mr. Popo! You here?! We could use your help!” “Making toast!” Was the response. I sighed in relief at that. “Well, at least Mr. Popo is still here, and not having a ‘Booty call.’” I spoke to everyone, before I felt five energy sources exit the building. “Oh great, the Spice boys.” I muttered as Garlic Jr. was monologueing. Then, to my surprise, Piccolo appeared next to them, and looked like all the other Z-fighters did we when battled them. “Men, take care of the Spice Rack, I’ll battle Garlic. Jason, can you take care of Piccolo? Don’t mind fighting him though, all the Z-fighters are evil in this world. King Kai says to kill them.” Then, in a blink of an eye, I charged after Garlic, flying right by the Spice boys, before delivering a powerful punch to his face. Garlic was blasted into a wall, and before he could recover, I fired an energy barrage at him, not letting him have a moment to change into his stronger form. I kept up a barrage of punches, kicks, and blasts, trying to make sure he won’t transform. “Gonna need a place to put him, due to being immortal.” I cast a brief look over to the other battles, to see that my men were easily taking care of the Spice boys, and Jason was beating up Piccolo. Oh, and Garlic Jr. just transformed. “Thanks to the power of the Makyo star and the Dragon Balls! I am the most powerful in the entire world!” He exclaimed, before punching me through a wall. “Alright, that’s it! Kaio-ken!” I was suddenly covered in a red aura, and I charged straight at Garlic. “Kaio-what?” He said, before I slammed my arm straight through his chest, and then I did it again. “You may be immortal! But this has to hurt a lot!” I yelled, as I did it over and over again, before kicking him back, and blasting him with a powerful kamehameha. My rush left me, and I fell to my knees. “Darn it, using too much energy.” I look up to see his fist flying into my face. I then felt a sharp pain in my stomach, before another on my back. “You weakling! You think you can take down the mighty Garlic Jr.!” He asked, before he stomped down on my chest, causing me to yell in pain. “Ginyus! Help!” I managed to yell, before being stomped on again. I saw Recoome quickly fly through a wall, before getting slapped off the Lookout. Jeice got punched in the nose, so he can’t fight anymore. Burter got flung into his own afterimage, and Guldo had his neck snapped. “Well, crap.” "Ok question: how extreme can I get here?" Jason asked, planting Piccolo face first into the floor. I spat out some blood. “Just don’t destroy the tower thing that this place is standing on. You can destroy the building as much as you like. We’ll just fix it up with the fix-it button this place has.” I screamed in pain again. “But be careful, he’s immortal.” "I can do that," Jason said, cracking his neck, "Who else wants to go?" He called, starting to power himself up. “What’s this? Another weakling who thinks he can challenge me?” Garlic Jr. asked, as he walked over to Jason. “I’ll just send him to the Dead zone!” Then, with a flash of power, a giant vortex to the Dead zone appeared above the Lookout. “Jason! Be careful!” I managed to yell, as I grabbed something to prevent me from falling in. I looked up, and saw a familiar star in the sky. ‘Maybe if I build enough energy.’ I started charging up as much energy as I could in my hand, while Jason distracts Garlic Jr. Jason took a deep breath before letting out a scream of rage. His aura intensified,  taking on a yellow color as his hair started to green a yellowish green. With an explosion of power, he ascended into a super Saiyan, akin to Broly. “Well, he wasn’t kidding.” I muttered to myself, as I looked at the power I’m building in my hand. ‘Not enough energy.’ I closed my eyes, and tried to communicate to my team, and asked for their energy. After I did so, four different hands burst out of the rubble, and I could almost see the energy coming from them. ‘Just a few more minutes.’ After about another minute, A beam of energy from their fight quickly hit the rubble that Guldo was grabbing onto, and destroyed it, sending him flying into the Dead Zone. Reacting quickly, I let go, and grabbed him with my hand, before I felt someone grab my foot, and I saw Jeice holding on to me, while Burter and Recoome kept us stuck to the ground. Feeling enough energy in my hand, I yelled to Garlic Jr. “Hey Garlic Jr.! You lose!” I then pointed my hand to the Makyo Star, and yelled as loud as I could. “Light Grenade!” A beam of yellow light fired out of my hand, and destroyed the star, causing Garlic to shrivel up, and fall back into the Dead Zone, which promptly closed, causing all of us to fall to the ground. “Did we do it?” Jeice asked. I spat out some more blood. “Yes we did Jeice. We survived it. Oh man I’m in pain.” I said, as I fell back onto my back. “Mr. Popo! You still there?!” “Buttering toast!” Was the response. “What about you Jason? You still there?” I asked as I tried to get up. "So much power..." Jason muttered to himself, looking at his hands, is grin starting to form on his face. “Oh crap.” I replied, before shooting upwards. “He’s going crazy. One one way to do this.” I took in a deep breath. “Hey Mr. Popo! This guy insulted you! He thinks he’s higher than you on the pecking order!” In a black flash, Mr. Popo was standing on the battlefield. “What was that maggot?” He asked me. “He thinks he’s stronger than you.” I spat out. And Mr. Popo looked at Jason. I expected him to say something, but he just stood there, staring. Deciding to push Jason instead, I yelled. “Hey Jason! You’re a weakling! You probably can’t even beat Hercule in a fight!” ‘I hope that gets him angry enough to attack Mr. Popo. Too weak to even fight right now. If this doesn’t work, then I only have one option left. Jason snorted, throwing a ki blast at Mr. Popo, his face contorted in a look of rage. Mr. Popo didn’t move, and the energy ball evaporated into thin air. Suddenly, some kind of black smoke rose out of the ground, and covered Jason, before he flashed, turning back to normal. ‘Nailed it.’ I thought, as a smiled, glad my plan worked. “Thanks Mr. Popo.” I spoke up, as I leaned against a wall. Mr. Popo just looked at me, before responding. “Leave now. I have a booty call.” My face paled, and I suddenly gained the energy to grab my team, and Jason, before using Instant Transmission to get back to the fields outside of Ponyville. “Is everyone okay?” I asked. I got various forms of response from my team, but Jason was silent. He just stared off into the distance, panting heavily. I limped over to him, before slapping him in the face. “Why didn’t you just go regular super Saiyan! You didn’t have to go legendary! Haven’t you ever heard the saying; power corrupts, but absolute power corrupts absolutely?!” He blinked, looking up at me. "Not entirely true." He said getting to his feet, "I just won't use that form anymore." He said, running a hand through his hair, "You guys just stand still and I'll heal you up." We all did, and Jason somehow healed us. As I was stretching, and cracking my neck, I spoke up. “At least you can turn into a Saiyan. It’s hard being in this world without being a Saiyan. We’ve trained for years, and we’ve only gotten as strong as Frieza’s first form. If you’re a Saiyan, you just need to almost die, and then you’re stronger than before. Just have a bag of senzus, and jab yourself in the chest or something, and take a senzu, and BAM! You’re much stronger.”  "I could...splice your DNA," he said, looking at his Omnitrix, "not sure how much it would help." “It actually doesn’t matter how much Saiyan DNA a person has. Goku’s great great great grandson or someone like that was able to go super Saiyan. Even a fraction of DNA could essentially allow you to go super Saiyan.” I spoke up quickly, surprised that the Omnitrix could do that. “Wait, it won’t hurt you would it? I wouldn’t mind being part Saiyan, but I couldn’t live with myself if someone was harmed to do so.” "Why on Earth would it hurt me?" He asked, looking at me rather quizzically. I held my hands up. “Just making sure. You never know in this kind of world. I mean our physics are messed up. We can smash any kind of defense with a single blow, and we have dinosaurs, and magic beans that completely heal you. Our physics change on a daily basis.” "And my uncles are a giant wolf, an eight legged horse and a giant snake, get in line,"Jason said, a big smirk on his face. “Eight legged horse? Like that thing from Mother 3?” Guldo asked. “Horsantula I think it was called.” I smacked Guldo on the head. “He said he’s a Jotun, that means he’s from Norse mythology. Like Thor from Marvel, but different. All that stuff about Ragnorak and Yggsdrisil the tree and whatever.” I responded, before looking at Jason. “Right? Or are all the books about it wrong?” “Cap, you’re slipping again.” Jeice pointed out, and I realized my personality shifted again. “Gah! I hate having five personalities!” I yelled as I grabbed my head, being careful of my horns. I just clutched my head for a bit, before calming down, and looking at Jason. “So, you said you might be able to ‘splice our DNA?’ We can give you something in return. Pehaps the ability to fly or sense energy? Without having to use the Omnitrix.” "Kaio-ken sounds good," Jason said, reaching into his pocket and pulling out what looks like Piccolo's severed arm, "One moment." He said giving it a scan and tossing it away. “Kaio-ken? You think you have enough strength to be able to survive it? It can get pretty dangerous. I haven’t gone above three myself.” I asked. "I'm more or less a god, I'm confident I can handle it...at lower levels I assume." He cracked his neck. "As for sensing ki, Buu taught me that...as well as instantaneous movement and a few ki techniques.” I nodded my head. “Good. So, in order to give you the knowledge of how to do the Kaio-ken, I’m going transfer the memory directly to you. It’s a technique we learned when trying out our powers, and learning how to do abilities from the show. Are you okay with that?” "Funny enough, that's how Buu did it," Jason said with a chuckle. I raised an eyebrow. “Really?” I shrugged. “Well, it makes sense when you think about it. Now, are you ready?” "Yeah, just don't be surprised if you sense other beings in my head." Jason took a breath, closing his eyes. I walked up to him, and put my fingers on his forehead, and closed my eyes, transferring the memory to him. There was a faint light as the memory transferred over. “There you go. It should work now.” "That feels so weird," he moaned shuddering a bit, "OK, so, onto the splicing?" “Sure.” I said with a nod of my head. “So, how is this done?” "You stand there while the Omnitrix works," Jason commented, browsing through his scans “Should it hurt?” I asked, raising an eyebrow. "Nope." “Okay.” I take a deep breath in. “I’m ready.” "Uh...I no ideas on this to be honest, not sure how Omnitrix aliens would help you..." He admitted with a sheepish laugh. I chuckle a bit. “Well, if we all had Saiyan DNA, we might have a chance at going super Saiyan. Plus it would make fighting a lot easier.” "We'll just do that then, Omnitrix, splice Saiyan DNA into these weirdos please." Jason held his watch arm out. "Affirmative." It chirped, blasting us with a wave of green energy When it passed, I looked down at my hands. I didn’t look different, but I felt different. Suddenly, I flared my ki. “Wow. Unreal. My gosh! This is amazing! I feel incredible! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! I can win! I feel great! I can do this!” I yelled as I felt this new power. “There he goes again.” I heard Jeice say with a roll of his eyes. I unflared my ki, and looked at Jason. “Thanks for this. This will help a lot in defending these ponies from Dragon Ball enemies.” I pulled out a copy of our token, before flicking it over to Jason. He caught the Ginyu Force symbol, and looked it over. “If you ever need our help. Don’t hesitate to ask. Heck, even if you need some copies of Saiyan armor, we’ll be happy to provide. And if we find any senzu beans, we’ll be sure to share them with you if you need them.” "I'll keep that in mind," he put the token in his pocket before tossing a bag of seeds. "Those aren't as good as the beans but those will grow Enigma berries, which will heal you up most of the way. Also, try to hook up with Buu, you might be able to score some Tree of Might fruit off him." “Tree of Might fruit? We haven’t had some since it tried to grow on this planet over a thousand years ago. We’ll try to find his token. What’s it look like?” I asked. "A ball of his flesh with the Majin 'm' on it." Jason cracked his neck yawning. "Just be careful with that guy, he's more powerful than Goku at this point." “Which Goku? The one at the end of Dragonball Z? Or the godly powered Goku?” I asked. “Because if Buu managed to become that strong, then even Beerus would have trouble. And maybe even Golden Frieza at some point.” "From what he told me, Beerus  resurrected most of the villains and powered them up, like all the saiyans to SS3, though Turles and Broly went to 4...and Buu has been absorbing them all." All of us flinched at that. “Jeeze. Is Hercule Satan one of them too?” I asked, hoping Satan wouldn’t be powered up. "I have no idea, I was trying not to get vaporized by the red furred psychopath," Jason said shrugging, "Anyway, I should go, my kids probably miss me and I really want to just get some sleep." “Okay. Thanks for the help…. I forgot what to say. The last time I did this was a thousand years ago.” I rubbed the back of my head. "'Jason, our contract is complete." He stated helpfully, "But...a spare suit of armor would be nice if you have one handy." I snapped my fingers, and Jeice pulled five capsules out of a pocket, before handing them to Jason. “There you go. It’s one of our best creations we managed to replicate. Both the Capsule Corps capsules, and basic battle armor that can regenerate itself. Also comes with the undersuit. Now, is there anything else you need?” "Nope," he said with a smile,"Just give a call if you ever need any help." “Well then, Jason, our contract is complete.” I said, with a smile and a nod. Jason disappeared in a flash of light, and suddenly, we were alone again. Smiling to myself, I flared my energy up again. Deep within Dragon territory, a lone dragon slept undisturbed opun their hoard. But if one were to look closely enough, they would find a ball of orange, with six red stars in it. > Full Moon Fight > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Instead of doing training or anything today, we were eating some treats at Sugarcube Corner. Well, rapidly devouring treats would be the proper term. It's been about a month since we had that fight on top of the Lookout and we've noticed our powers have increased tremendously. I believe we might be as strong as form two Frieza now. Which is sad considering how weak that is compared to gods like Beerus. Oh, and we had an annoying unicorn giving us puppy dog eyes for the past several hours. "Please!" "For the last time! No! We will not teach you how to use ki!" I yelled at Twilight. "But why?!" She moaned. "Because you ponies have magic! Why would you even need ki if you have magic! Just be thankful for what you have!" I was getting increasingly angry at Twilight. Plus we haven't had a good fight in a long time, so that's probably irritating me as well. "But you can do all kinds of things with your ki that even trained unicorns have trouble doing! You can stop time, and fly faster than light! You can shoot beams of light that can destroy mountains! Just think of all the useful applications ponies could use ki for!" Twilight tried to reason. "Like war? Also, it's not light, it's a physical object called plasma. Basically like superheated air." I asked, before finishing off the last pie, and standing up, putting a bag of bits on the table. "Now if you'll excuse us, the town is about to come under attack." Twilight looked confused as we left the building, and started heading to the center of town. When we did, a strong power level landed in front of us. When the dust cleared, we could easily see that the power level was Gohan. Dressed like he was on Namek too. "Who's that?" Twilight asked. "That's Gohan." Recoome answered. "He's arguably the strongest fighter in the universe, but he doesn't do anything that could give him access to his power, so he stays weak." I locked eyes with Gohan, and he spoke first. "I'm here to eliminate you Ginyu Force! I'll have you know that I'm now as strong as you were when we fought on Namek!" We all laughed at that. "Congratulations, you're still weaker than the last three guys we've killed." I could not hold that reference back. Man, if something terrible ever happens to my team, and I'm the only one left, I would probably sound like a huge jerk with all these references. Gohan looked sad at that. "Now I know what it's like to be Krillin." Right after he said that, the ghost of Krillin showed up next to him. "Sucks, doesn't it?" Krillin then disappeared. "So... Burter, you're up." I said. 'This day just feels weird.' Burter walked forward, and quickly appeared in front of Gohan, before yelling. "Burter kick!" He kicked as hard as he could, and snapped Gohan's neck. We all just stared in shock. "Was that it?" "Not even close." Gohan managed to speak, before getting to his feet. "That's impossible! I snapped your neck!" Burter exclaimed. "You should at least be paralyzed or something!" Gohan chuckled. "It's not over by a long shot." He held his hand out, and suddenly a white energy appeared in it. "No!" I yelled, instantly recognizing it. I stared throwing energy balls at him, trying to mess up his concentration so he can't unleash the attack. But it was too late, as Gohan already threw it up into the air. "I don't understand, what was that?" Twilight asked. I watched in fear, as it rose higher and higher into the sky. "It's called the blutz waves. It imitates the rays given off by full moons. And can cause a transformation if one looks at it, and meets certain requirements." I noticed Gohan's tail emerge from him. "Men! Now! Before he transforms!" We all charged at the young half-saiyan, but were all blasted back by an explosive wave. 'Stupid DBZ fighting game logic.' Actually, the logic sometimes helps a lot. We have the ability to break any barrier, not matter how strong, with a single attack, which we call the shield breaker, similar to those attacks that you can do in DBZ fighting games, where you break the opponent's defense. By the time we recovered, Gohan was rapidly getting bigger, and more hairy. Gritting my teeth, I flew forward again, this time using the Sauzer Blade (which is one of the bestest attacks EVA!!!!! It's like destructo disc, on your arm. On YOUR ARM!), before quickly using instant transmission to get behind him, and I was about to cut off his tail, when I was struck by a large yellow beam, that sent me skidding across the ground. "I finally get to kill Ginyu. This is turning out to be a really great day." I look over to see Vegeta land on the ground in front of me, before holding out his hand, which was glowing purple. I looked to see my men holding off a fully grown Gohan-ape, as it destroyed the town. "This is not a good day." I muttered, before flipping onto my hands, and pushing my energy into my feet, before blasting Vegeta with a beam that came from my feet. I quickly finished my back flip, and landed in a defensive position. "Did you just blast me with your feet?!" Vegeta roared at me. I smiled. "Yep. Practised the art myself. Now, you ready to fight?!" Vegeta smiled, before charging at me. I blocked his punches, before returning one of my own, and using that distraction to deal more damage to him, before uppercutting him, and then grabbing his foot before he could get too far, and slammed him into the ground. I held out my palm, charging up a beam to kill Vegeta with. Right before I fired in, Vegeta laughed. "Oh, if you think it's over, think again." Right as he said that, I noticed he had his tail back. I quickly looked up into the sky, to see that the blutz wave was still there. And judging by the sounds of fighting, Gohan was still a great ape. But then the strangest thing happen, I couldn't look away from the blutz wave. I felt like I heard some drums beating. As my body started shaking every time the beat was heard. "What the? What are you doing Ginyu?!" Vegeta yelled, but I could barely hear him. I heard a small ripping sound, and I felt myself becoming stronger, as I started becoming bigger, and bigger, and hairier. As I slowly turned into a great ape, I noticed my armor was growing with me. I quickly reached the maximum height, and let out a loud roar, as I crushed Vegeta to death under my boot. "I just can't get a shot at the tail!" Jeice yelled, as he quickly dodged a swipe from Gohan's great ape form. "Neither can I!" Burter replied, as he destroyed a large rock, preventing it from destroying a few homes. Guldo was recovering from being hit by Gohan's tail, and Recoome was on the ground, evacuating as many ponies as possible. The Bearers of the Elements of Harmony had long since given up trying to fight these threats who can and would kill them all in a single move. But everyone in the entire town looked when they heard a new roar, one that sounded more powerful. "Oh bugger, is that another one?!" Jeice yelled, as everyone in the fight looked at the new great ape that was starting to destroy the town. "Wait a second." Jeice quickly recognized the armor that the ape was wearing. "That's the cap! He's gone ape crazy!" "He doesn't seem to be in control either!" Burter pointed out. "He's destroying stuff like there's no tomorrow. Jeice, go get some sense into him. He might be able to help us!" Jeice nodded, and Burter kept doing his job. Jeice quickly flew over to Ape Ginyu, and yelled as loud as he could. "Hey Cap!" Ginyu stopped destroying, and looked over to see Jeice. Ginyu quickly brought up his fist, and was about to slam it into Jeice, before it stopped. "No. I won't hurt my men. I won't hurt my friends!" Ginyu yelled in a loud voice, before clutching his head in pain. "That's it! You can do it Cap! You can fight it!" Jeice yelled, as Ginyu fought the urge to destroy. "That was close. Good thing the Cap would never hurt us, even if he became great ape, or else I might have been space jam on space toast." Jeice muttered to himself. Ginyu kept clutching his head, before stumbling his way to Gohan, who was occupied fighting Burter and Recoome. To Gohan's surprise, the two fighters quickly flew away, and Gohan turned around, only to get a massive super powered fist to the face. Gohan was sent flying into a building, and before he could recover, Ginyu was right there, grabbing his throat. "No one attacks my town." Spinning around quickly, he threw Gohan again, and used Instant Transmission to teleport above where he was going to be, before slamming him into the ground. Ginyu then kicked Gohan onto his belly, before grabbing his tail, and putting his boot on Gohan's back, before ripping off his tail. Gohan yelled in pain, as he shrunk back into his normal form. Gohan looked around at all the angry fighters that quickly surrounded him, and prepared to finish him off. "Uh... it was all a joke?" Gohan chuckled nervously, before Ginyu stomped on him, filling his boot with energy so it completely destroyed his body. "Yes! We did it Captain!" Jeice exclaimed, as the rest of the Ginyu Force celebrated. But Ginyu quickly looked up at the blutz waves, that was still in the sky, and closed his eyes, trying to make sure he remembered the feel of the energy, before he blasted it out of the sky, and Ginyu started shrinking back to his normal purple form. "Ugh, what a headache." Ginyu muttered as he clutched his head in pain. He shook his head, trying to dispel the pain, before feeling a strange sensation behind him. He turned to see a brown furry tail sticking out of his tail bone. "And, now I can transform into a great ape." Ginyu looked at his men. "Well, I guess we should clean up this mess, and then we need to learn how to make blutz waves, so we can transform when we need to." The group nodded, before quickly flying around Ponyville, using their powers to repair as much as they can. "Yes! With this, we can finally free our queen, and take Equestria for our own! We shall never run out of food when that day comes!" General Abdomen yelled, and it was accompanied with cheers from all the Changelings in the hive. Their queen may have been imprisoned in Equestria, but with the strange magical orb, they can free their beloved queen, and finally get the love they need for their race to live better than they do now. The orb they were talking about was an orange orb, with two red stars in it. > Super Sandwich! > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "So that's how you knew my ancestor!" Pinkie Pie said, bulging her eyes out, as we just finished telling her the story about how we raised Surprise. "Yep. We all miss her, as we never got to see her again due to both princesses. And she left a note for us saying that she left something for us where she moved, but we have no idea where that is." I responded, as I ate another cupcake. Pinkie Pie went into thought for a bit. I was trying to subtly ask her where she moved, as I wasn't entirely sure if she went to the same rock farm Pinkie's from. She could have lived in a different one, and Pinkie's later ancestors moved to the one she was raised on. "I remember there being this really weird thingy hidden under some rocks on the farm when I was a filly. It looked like it had the same symbol you have! Maybe that's it?" We all looked at Pinkie with wide eyes, before looking at each other. "Yeah, that's probably it." I said with a smile. Right after I said that, I saw Burter tense up. "Captain, do you sense that?" I felt outwards, and noticed a very strong power level flying down to the center of Ponyville. I burst from my seat, and started dashing to the location, my men quickly following me. "Who do you think it is, Cap?" Jeice asked as we ran. "I don't know. It might be Vegeta, or Goku." We all shivered at that name, not wanting to fight him. Sure, we're more powerful than the Ginyu Force in the show, but if this Goku has the ability to go Super Saiyan, we might not survive. We quickly arrived at the center of Ponyville, right as an orange and blue clad creature floated down, landing on the ground. "No." I said in disbelief. Standing before us was the terror who flaps in the night, Goku himself. "This is Equestria right? I'm looking for the Ginyu Force" He asked innocently even though he was staring right at us. "Yes it is!" Pinkie said, bouncing up and down. "Are you an old friend of the Ginyus?! Because here they are! Ponyville's protectors in the flesh!" She gestured to us, and Goku's innocent smile turned demonic. "Good." Faster than I could see, all five of us were kicked into separate houses. Goku immediately charged for me, before I could recover. "My turn! My turn!" I yelled, and Goku stopped in midair, before floating back. This gave us ample time to recover, and form a plan. I turned to Goku after forming our plan. "Recoome, you're up first." I said, and Recoome fist-pumped, before walking forward. "Hit Recoome's Music!" All of a sudden, the Doom theme started playing. "You think you're so tough because your the main character of both Dragon Ball, and Dragon Ball Z? Well, Recoome's got a surprise for you! You're not! Your nothing but a wimp compared to the might power of the 6 time champion, Recoome!" "Champion of what?" Twilight called out in the distance. "You Saiyans claim to be the strongest in the universe! But look at where they are now! Dead! Just like you will be! Because the name's Recoome! And it rhymes, with doom! And you're going to be hurting, ALL TOO SOON!" Recoome was posing as he did this. And, all of a sudden, Recoome charged at Goku, but a loud snap was heard, as Recoome fell to the ground, Goku standing on top of his now broken spine. "Recoome!" We all yelled, as I felt an anger rising in me. 'No one hurts my men!' I quickly turned to my men. "Alright men, no more messing around! We fight as a team now! All together!" Then, in a flash of light, we all charged at Goku. First, Guldo used his mind bind technique (as we call it) to stop Goku, and Burter gets Recoome's body safely off the field. While Goku's stuck, I charged up a Final Flash attack, and Jeice and Burter prepared for the purple comet attack. "FINAL FLASH!" I screamed, as I fried the beam at Goku right after Burter and Jeice finished their attack. The area around Goku burst with a bright yellow light, as my Final Flash struck him. As we waited for the smoke to clear, we saw Goku holding Guldo in front of him, and Guldo had a huge hole in his lower half. But the scary thing was the color of Goku's hair, it was golden. 'Crap! He went Super Saiyan right before my beam hit him, and he managed to get Guldo to get hit by the beam!' I quickly fired a finger beam at Goku's face, which blew up into a bright beam similar to the solar flare, as Burter grabbed Guldo, and brought him over to Recoome. Burter was about to tap his forehead to get some of the berries we've been trying to grow, but Goku grabbed his hand before he could. "Going somewhere?" Goku asked. "Burter!" Jeice yelled, as we both watched our friend get his neck snapped by Goku. Jeice quickly flew up into the air, and put as much power as he could into his next attack. "Crusher BALL!" He threw the red ball at Goku, who slapped it away like in the anime, before Goku put his hands behind his back, and started charging up his energy. "KAMEHAMEHA!" He fired it at Jeice, who wasn't able to dodge in time, and fell to the ground, severely burned. "No! Men! Guldo! Recoome! Jeice! Burter!" I yelled as I stared at my dying friends, before staring at Goku in anger. "NO ONE HARMS MY FRIENDS AND GETS AWAY WITH IT!" I flew at Goku, and managed to slam my hand into his stomach, before elbowing him in the face, and kicking him up into the air, and them slamming him back to the ground. I flew down, but Goku flipped out of the way, and before I could turn, he fired a close range energy blast at me, sending me flying into a building. I managed to get to my feet in time to dodge Goku's kamehameha, before trying to use more of my energy. "KAIO-KEN! TIMES! 50!" I yelled in anger, as I felt my entire body burn with the energy I couldn't handle. I flew straight at Goku, collided my fist into his face, before using Instant Transmission to arrive at where he was going to be, and fired a Final Flash point blank range at him. When the smoke cleared, it looked like all I did was singe his clothes, as he hardly had a scratch on him. "You done yet?" He said with a smirk, before he disappeared, and I felt a sharp pain in my back, as I fell to the ground, and let out a whimper. I tried to get up, but I couldn't move my body except for my head. I coughed a bit, and noticed my blue blood start pooling on the ground. "Hmph, I came here expecting a challenge. I don't know why I thought a bunch of weaklings like you were even worth my time. He started slowly flying away, and I looked to all my dying friends. I saw the almost dead body of Guldo. "Guldo." Recoome was still trying to move, but couldn't as his legs didn't work anymore. "Recoome." Jeice's body was still sizzling from that attack. "Jeice." I shared a brief bit of eye contact with Burter, who was as paralyzed as I was. "Burter." 'He hurt my friends. We're all going to die now.' I closed my eyes, waiting for death's cold embrace. "No." I spoke. "I will not die today. I will not die tomorrow. I will die when I feel like it." Then, I started to get up, much to my body's serious discomfort, as my spine was cracked in half, and I had a huge gaping wound on my back. I charged up a bunch of my purple energy in my hand, before firing it at Goku, who yelled in pain when it hit him, and he turned around, looking at me in anger. I charged up some more energy, not noticing it flickering gold, as I threw them at Goku, who was unable to dodge them for some reason. "Why won't you stay down!" Goku yelled, as he charged up his own energy, before firing it at me, and realizing it didn't seem to hurt me as much as before. "No one harms my friends." My purple aura flickered yellow, as I floated up into the air to be on the same level as Goku. "I will end you." Goku chuckled. "Big words coming from a weakling." He stopped laughing when his head was planted into the ground in a millisecond. He freed himself, and spat out some dirt. "So, you got some hidden power, do you? Let's see how strong you can get!" He fired an energy barrage at, which I dodged every one of them, before putting some of my energy into my hand, and created a sauzer blade, before jamming it into his gut. "Who's the weakling now?" I said, gritting my teeth, before Goku fired a close range ki blast at me, sending me flying back. I barely managed to fire my own energy beam to counter his, and we had a beam struggle. "WHY WON'T YOU JUST DIE!" He yelled, as he flooded more energy into his beam, as it started to overtake mine, and I came close to dying from his beam, before closing my eyes, and remembering those I care about. My aura flickered again, as I filled my beam with all my energy, as I thought about those who need me. "I fight for my friends! For my teammates! This is my reason! And it will not let me die to you!" My aura finally stayed yellow, as I filled all my power into my beam, and it overtook Goku, before disintegrating him. "Finally done." I took a deep breath, glad I finished him off, before remembering my teammates. Tapping my forehead real quick, I got back to our base, and grabbed as many Enigma berries as I could, before teleporting back to my friends, and shoving the berries down their throats, and watched as they healed. it wasn't perfect like the Senzu beans, as they still had some scratches on them, but it was good enough, as they would live. "Captain! Look! You've done it! You've actually done it!" Jeice exclaimed, as he gestured to my aura, which my mind finally realized what that meant. I became a Super Saiyan. "Your eyes are blue and everything!" Ever since we've got the Saiyan DNA, we've been trying to figure out how to go Super Saiyan, but nothing worked. Now, I have an idea that just might. "How are we going to defeat them sister? Even with the months of training our guards have experienced, they'll still be slaughtered by those monsters." Luna asked Celestia. Celestia sighed, before her horn glowed, and she cast a few spells to prevent spying and eavesdropping. "Follow me. We've found something that might help." Luna followed her sister, as they went deeper and deeper into the castle, before coming across a room that enough spells protecting it, that it would survive the destruction of the planet, and not even have a scratch on it. Celestia put her horn in the lock, before casting a spell that opened the doors, and the two sisters quickly entered, before staring at the strange object. "Is this it? It's just a ball." Luna asked, not believing the power of the artifact. "Can you not feel the magic coming from it, sister?" Celestia asked, and Luna closed her eyes, before gasping as her eyes shot open. "It holds magic greater and more ancient than our own! We have to figure out how to use it against those monsters!" Luna exclaimed, and Celestia nodded in agreement, as they stared at the object on the pedestal. It was an orange orb, with seven red stars in it. > Aliens and Animatronics > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Come on men! One more time!" I yell, and the others just gave a quick nod, before we began again. "Recoome!" "Burter!" "Jeice!" "Guldo!" "Captain Ginyu!" "And together we are..." We all spoke at the same time. "THE GINYU FORCE!" We all yelled, as we stayed in our current pose. We stopped posing after a few seconds, and I walk forward to look at my team. "That was good men. We gotta keep practising. We'll never know when we need to introduce ourselves." Right after I said that, there was a bright flash of light, and I felt a pulling sensation, and yelled in fear, before slamming into some kind of ground. I felt something hit my back, before it piled up, leaving me with a heavy weight on my back. "Ugh. What the hell?" I moan, as I turn my head to see the others were the things laying on my back with Recoome directly on top of me. "Recoome, get the hell off of me." Recoome shot up, and jumped into the air, before flipping, and landing on his feet, and striking a pose. And because of what Recoome did, the others were knocked off my back. Now, without anything on my back, I got to my feet, and looked around, noticing how we seemed to be standing outside the Everfree Forest. I eventually locked eyes with four strange animal-like creatures. One looked like a bipedal bear, with a black top hat and a bow tie. Behind the bear, there was a giant yellow chicken, a giant blue rabbit, and a giant piratey looking fox. I furrowed my brow, as I felt like I recognized these four from something else. "Oi Captain. Where in the blazes are we?" Jeice asked, as he got to his feet, and started looking around. "I think we might have gotten summoned." I responded, as I kept looking at the four creatures. I couldn't sense them at all, like they didn't have any ki coming off of them, meaning they were most likely robots of some kind. I decided to ask them. "Hey! Did you four summon us?!" I cupped my hands against my mouth, trying to amplify my voice. "Uhh... yes?" The brown bear spoke up, as he put a hand on the back of his head, and started chuckling. "Sorry. This is the first time we've summoned someone to our world. We didn't quite expect to summon five aliens." "Hey! Aliens is a very rude term. Technically, you four are also aliens!" Guldo exclaimed, and suddenly the blue bunny appeared right in front of him. "GAH!" Guldo yelled, as he quickly after-imaged, and appeared a few yards away. I raised an eyebrow at what the bunny did. "How did you do that? It clearly wasn't Instant Transmission, and you didn't run, as there didn't seem to be an after-effect with the wind blasting right after you stopped. It was almost like you just teleported." "Of course I did. It would be impossible for a living being, or even a machine my size to move at faster than light speeds." The bunny said, and I furrowed my brow again, as I quickly rushed up to him, easily breaking the speed of light, and appearing in his face, which quickly showed shock, before the wind caught up with me. "What was that about it being impossible?" I said with a smug smile. The bunny quickly disappeared, and appeared next to his friends, and they whispered to each other, while sometimes taking a quick look at us. I decided to use this time to talk to my men as well, but didn't bother whispering. "Alright men. They most likely summoned us here for a reason. Maybe they need help, and we plan to give it to them. So remember to be on friendly terms. You guys got it?" "Yes sir, Captain!" They all saluted at once, before we all shared a smile, and turned to face the robots, who were in our faces again. This time, the brown bear walked up, his paw outstretched. "I'm sorry for my friend's actions. My name is Freddy Fazbear, and these are my friends. The yellow chicken is Chica. The blue bunny is Bonnie. And the fox pirate is Foxy." As their names were spoken, they gave acknowledgements, except for Bonnie, who looked at us with curiosity. I blinked in surprise at the thought of introductions. "Men." I said with a smirk, as I looked over my shoulder. "Introductions." "So..." I take another sip of my tea. After we preformed our introductions, and got a very rewarding reaction from these 'animatronics,' they told us why they summoned us. So now we were sitting at a table out in the open, having some lunch. "These 'toy' versions of you seem to be evil, but you're not sure, and everyone thinks your jealous, even as you explain to them that they're as lethal as you four are?" Freddy nodded his head. "That's right Captain." I chuckled. "You don't have to call me that. Just Ginyu will do." I finished off my tea and waldorf salad. "So, what do you want us to do about this?" "You might be able to find information about them that we can't. Last time we dealt with a hostile animatronic, we kinda almost got killed by the one creature that can do that." Freddy answered. "Plus nine heads are better than four. And we have no idea where Mangles is, and we know he has to be here, as he's apart of the toy's group. They've played innocent in front of others, but they've spoken in different robot languages to prevent others from realizing their plans." "I think they might want us to attack them first, making us seem like the bad guys. But since you don't have the same convictions as we do, you can attack them, and not damage your reputations in this world, as you don't really have one, due to being an unknown variable." Bonnie added. The cup my tea was in shattered into little pieces from my anger I was holding back. "Wait a minute. You're making this seem rather sketchy. Like we're a bunch of mercenaries that you can just hire to kill others! We don't kill without reason." Jeice said, getting angry, as he slammed his fists into the table. The animatronics looked surprised at that. "Oh, you must misunderstand us. We would be the ones to disable the toy animatronics. But we're not entirely sure ourselves that they're evil. We think they are, but we need proof before we kill them, so we don't appear to be monsters." Freddy clarified. I sighed in relief, before slowly standing up. "We'll do what we can." I turned to my men, who have started to get up as well. "Men, get as much information, as discreetly as possible. Guldo and Recoome, I want you guys to keep an eye on the children in the schoolyard. If these animatronics have a lot to do with kids, I want you two to protect them and Guldo can use his powers to see if any are being stalked. They would most likely be shaken up badly. Perhaps having nightmares. Jeice and Burter, follow the three toy animatronics, but stay hidden. If you do get discovered by them, I leave it up to you for your cover. I will stay with these four, making sure they won't get attacked if the toys decide to sneak attack them." "Yes sir, Captain!" They all yelled at once, before saluting, and flying off quickly to perform their duties. I turned around to face the four animatronics, who were now standing up. "Those four really trust you, don't they?" Freddy asked. I smiled at the memories that popped in my mind. "Yeah. While I am their captain, they all know we are all equals. We've been friends since we were in elementary school. It's a shame none of us can remember our original names." The animatronics were all surprised. "You don't even remember your original names?" Chica asked. I shook my head sadly. "Nope. It was quite hectic the first few years we arrived. We all remembered each other, but none of us remembered our original names, so we started calling each other by the characters we became. While we can't remember our names, we do remember what we were like back then. But, that part of ourselves is buried under out multiple personalities." "Multiple personalities?" Foxy asked. "We have a personality for each version of us. I have Funimation, TFS, Kai, Ocean Dub, and original Japanese all in my brain, along with my original one. I constantly change between personalities on a regular basis. Luckily, the Ocean Dub is easily repressed, as none of us like that one." I had a weak smile on my face. "So that explains why your voices kept on changing! You kept on switching the way you sounded while speaking!" Bonnie pointed out. "Oh, I still do that? We all stopped noticing after a while." I gave a tired look, when I responded. I then coughed into my hand, as my professionalism returned. "Should we be on our way? We don't want to look too suspicious." Guldo and Recoome quickly arrived near the school, and hid behind a tree, so they can keep an eye on the kids. They hid their power level as much as they could, to not alert the ponies to their presence. "Sense anything Guldo?" Recoome asked after a few minutes, and still keeping a watchful eye out. "Not yet. I have to carefully scan each of them one at a time. It takes a while to finish scanning even one of them." Guldo responded, a slight bit of irritation in his voice. After another minute of silence, Recoome blinked in surprise, as he noticed three familiar forms. "Hey Guldo, look. It's the Cutie Mark Crusaders. It looks like this world really is similar to our own." Guldo sighed, and looked over to the three fillies, who were having a conversation under a tree near the school house. Guldo was about to go back to what he was doing, before he noticed something peculiar. "Hey Recoome? Do you see Sweetie Belle? Does it appear that she's shaking? Like she didn't sleep last night due to a nightmare?" Recoome quickly looked over, and furrowed his brow, as he noticed this. "Yeah, she does appear like that. You thinking what I'm thinking?" Guldo smiled. "Yep. Let's see what's wrong with her." He closed two of his four eyes, and concentrated on her aura, before taking a quick peek at her mind. Nothing too deep, just basically seeing why she's scared. After a second, Guldo's eyes shot open, and he took a step back in fear. "We gotta tell the Captain!" The two disappeared in a flash. Jeice and Burter quickly jumped to another building, before looking back down to the three strange animatronics. The group of three appeared to stop to talk to a group of children the Ginyu Force recognized as Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon. "Heya kids, howya doing?" Toy Freddy asked, a clearly fake cheerful tone in his voice (clearly to those who aren't ignorant ponies). "Hi Freddy!" Both fillies said, with a big smile on their faces, and a huge wave of one of their hooves. "Are you two hungry?" Toy Chica asked, holding out a pizza that just appeared. The two fillies gladly took a slice of the pizza, before eating. "That's just wrong. I can't imagine our version of those two would eat a knock-off of Chuck-e-Cheese's pizza." Jeice whispered. "Yeah. Maybe the animatronics are doing something to them?" Burter replied. As the two fillies finished their slices of pizza, the three toy animatronics smiled, as the fillies' irises grew big, and stayed like that for a second, before shrinking back down to normal size. "Thank you for the delicious pizza!" Diamond Tiara said with a blank look in her eyes. "Yes, thanks!" Silver Spoon agreed, the same look in her eyes. "You're the best, Toy animatronics! Much better than the ugly regular animatronics." Both fillies spoke in perfect unison. The three animatronics smiled, before walking off, leaving the two fillies there, staring into space. "That is definitely not normal. And kinda freaky." Jeice whispered, as the two started jumping across the buildings, keeping an eye on the toy animatronics. "We should go and tell the Captain and those other animatronics. They need to know." Burter replied, and the two nodded to each other, before tapping their fingers against their heads, and disappearing without a trace. "So, you have all these strange powers? Where you use your actual life energy to fight others?" Chica asked me, as we were walking through the town. "Well, our blasts are actually made of plasma, and are in fact solid objects." I responded. "But we do use our own energy to create the plasma, and keep it together." A thought popped into my head. "You four seem to have some sort of strange power as well. It's definitely not ki or magic, but I can still feel it's presence." "Well, we use spiritual energy. We mostly use it to stay active, as without it, we would deactivate or something, as we don't have this place in our programming." Freddy answered, and I was about to ask another question, when the rest of my team teleported in front of me at the exact same time. "Captain!" They all exclaimed, and I sighed, before pointing to Recoome and Guldo. "We spied on the children at the school, and found out that one in particular, Sweetie Belle, was having serious nightmares that past two days. It barely took any mental prodding to figure out that they were about a strange spider-like creature with two heads, and a wiry body." Guldo reported. Right as he said that, the four animatronics froze up, most likely recognizing the description. I looked to Jeice and Burter, before nodding, and they spoke up to report as well. "As we followed the three animatronics, we watched them meet up with the two fillies, Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon, and offer them pizza. The fillies surprisingly and quickly took the pizza, before eating it, and their pupils grew, as their personality seemed to change. We think it's some kind of mind control or mind alteration." Jeice said. "Mind alteration? That doesn't sound good. If they turn everyone against these four, they'll win." I muttered out loud, before turning to the animatronics, who were discussing something amongst themselves. "So, what are you going to do?" They all shared a look amongst themselves, before looking to me. "We imagine that Mangles might show up to Sweetie Belle's house, so we should be there to stop it. We need to destroy all four of them, before they harm anymore children." Freddy said, a look of determination on his face. I nodded my head. "Then, we'll meet you outside the Carousel Boutique later this night?" Freddy shook his head. "No, Sweetie Belle doesn't live with her sister, she lives with her parents." 'Well, that's definitely a difference between our universes.' "Can you tell us where to find her house? We never needed to know this in our world." When night came, we were all hiding near Sweetie Belle's house, keeping an eye out for this 'Mangles.' As we were waiting, I decided to get some more information. "So, what kind of powers should we expect?" Freddy shrugged. "We don't quite know. They could have similar powers to us, or they could have their own set of powers. but if they do have our powers, then they would be virtually indestructible, as they can regenerate from any wound. They would also be able to jumpscare, and use spiritual energy for various tasks. They would also be able to... teleport." Freddy said with a look of realization across his face, and both of our groups teleported into the room, to see a freaky looking animatronic hanging on the ceiling, above a terrified Sweetie Belle, who was emitting a strange white energy, that went straight into 'Mangles.' I was able to quickly sense what this energy was, and flew forward, delivering a powerful punch to one of it's faces, slamming it through the wall, and out into Ponyville, where I followed after it, and landed on the ground with a semi-audible thud, and looked up in time to block a charging tackle from the animatronic. With it in close range, I quickly grabbed one of it's necks, before spinning around rapidly, keeping a tight grip on it, as I built up speed, before letting go, and flinging it into another building. Before it could recover, I flew after it, and was about to slam my fist into it's face, but watched as it disappeared. I quickly looked around, not able to sense it's energy, and felt a sharp pain in my back, and I looked down to see a hand sticking out of my chest, covered in blood. "Captain!" I heard a voice yell from behind me, but wasn't able to process it, as my body started to shut down without my heart. I fell to my knees, blood dripping out of my mouth, before I coughed some up. I barely noticed a presence beside me, before it shoved something down my throat, and I gulped, feeling my energy return, as the hole closed back up, and I stood back up, before turning around, giving a dark glare at the four toy animatronics who gathered around. I noticed Toy Freddy had some of my blood on it's hand, and I sneered at him. 'Good thing that Jason gave us those Enigma berries. They're a life saver.' I still felt a little sore around my chest, unlike when I take a senzu bean, and the pain is all gone. All eight animatronics in the area looked shocked at my recovery. "H-how! I destroyed your heart! You should be dead! What are you?" Toy Freddy shouted. As soon as those words came out of it's mouth, I smiled. "You want to know who I am? I am the illustrious Captain Ginyu!" I struck a pose, and felt myself getting stronger from posing. "And you are dead!" I charged forward, faster than lightning, slamming my hand into Toy Freddy's chest, then I kicked off toy Bonnie's head, and blasted Chica to ash, before grabbing both of Mangles' heads, and slamming them together so hard, they broke to pieces. I sighed in relief, as my power boost faded, and I looked to the original animatronics. "There. That wasn't so tough." "We aren't done yet." Toy Freddy's voice spoke up, and I turned around to see Toy Freddy, Toy Bonnie, and Mangles glowing with a white light, as they rebuild themselves, slowly. We just watched them, waiting for them to fully rebuild. "Why aren't you attacking them?! Now's the perfect chance!" Freddy yelled at us. "Sorry. Not allowed to. Anime rules, we can't attack someone while powering up, or regenerating, or anything else." I replied, as I continued to watch them regenerate slowly. "Do you four regenerate this slowly?" They shook their heads. "Nope. Ours is almost instantaneous." Bonnie replied. "Oh, screw this." Foxy yelled, before pushing past us, and slamming his hook into Toy Bonnie's head, before ripping it open, and pulling out what looked like a mangled corpse of a child, and then creating a giant hole with their white energy, before tossing in the body, and covering it with dirt. The pieces of Toy Bonnie shuttered, before a white spirit came out of the grave, and flew into the sky, before dissipating. Foxy quickly moved over to Toy Freddy, and was about to do the same, but was quickly grabbed by Mangles, and thrown across the town. Toy Freddy finished regenerating, and looked around. "Where's Toy Chica?" "Disintegrated by an energy blast from Ginyu." Bonnie answered, pointing to a pile of ashes. "I guess it works as good as burying the bodies." Toy Freddy and Mangles had a look of rage on their faces, and charged at me at the same time. I fired a quick blast at Mangles, disintegrating him(?), before firing one at Toy Freddy, who teleported out of the way, and quickly appeared behind me, about to kill me again, when Jeice kicked him in the face, and sent him flying into another house. "We always have your back, Captain." Jeice said, and I smiled. "I know you do, and I always have all of yours." We all turned to face Toy Freddy, who was climbing out of the rubble, as his head started regenerating. I could briefly see the metal endoskeleton, as it was quickly covered by the Toy Freddy suit. "I WILL MURDER YOU, AND FEAST ON YOUR CORPSES! NO ONE MESSES WITH ME! TOY FREDDY FAZBEAR!" He screamed, and was about to charge at us, but stopped when he heard voices, and looked around our battlefield, to see everypony in Ponyville watching, as they realize that the toy animatronics were evil. Toy Freddy looked back at us, and his eyes turned black, with white pinpricks. "YOU WILL DIE!" He started running at us, but Recoome quickly got in front of us. "Don't worry Captain, I got this." He got into a pose, and my eyes widen, as I quickly grab the four regular animatronics and got them out of the way. "ERASER GUN!" The second he yelled those words, the beam fired out of his mouth and headed straight for Toy Freddy, who's reaction time was too small to dodge, and kept going. Unfortunately, one pony quickly got in the way of the beam. I quickly recognized the pony as Lyra. I quickly moved my fingers to my forehead, and tapped it, before quickly moving to get Lyra, but I was too slow, as I got there in time to watch as Lyra was turned to nothing in the blast. "NO!" I yelled, as I fired a blast at Recoome's beam, destroying it, and allowing me to safely run over to the charred ashes of an innocent pony. "DARN IT!" I yelled, tears in my eyes. My sadness quickly turned to anger, as I looked over to where Toy Freddy was, and saw as he regenerated from the smallest part of him left intact. This time though, he regenerated quicker than before. With a bright flash, I turned Super Saiyan, and flew at Toy Freddy, moving several times faster than light, and slamming my fist into his chest, quickly deforming the metal, before making my fist glow, as it turned Toy Freddy into nothing but dust. Seeing as how Toy Freddy is dead, along with his friends, I calmed down a bit, and turned back into my regular form, and fell to my knees, tears falling from my face. I sat there, crying for a few minutes at the loss of an innocent life, before I heard someone come up behind me, and I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned my head to see Jeice and the others looking at me, sadness in their eyes. "Come on, Cap. Crying about it won't make it better. We tried our best, and that has to count for something, right?" I take a deep breath, trying to calm myself down. "It's just that we promised to never harm an innocent. To protect them with our lives. I thought we could change from our old ways. I thought we would stop all the unnecessary destruction." "Sometimes, the good of the many outweigh the good of the few." Bonnie spoke up, as they came over. "If Recoome didn't... whatever he did, Toy Freddy might have done something worse." I slowly got to my feet, and looked at the others. "But still, we killed someone. We could have found a way not to harm anyone else." "Look, it's our problem. We'll deal with it. Why don't you four head back to your universe? You've helped us plenty enough." Freddy said, as he handed me his token, which I stuffed somewhere, before snapping my fingers, and creating an explosion nearby. "Sorry about that. Couldn't let Toy Freddy get away alive." I said with a small smile on my face. "Well, do you mind sending us back? I don't know how much time has passed in our world." "Our contract is complete. Call us if you ever need us." Freddy said with a smile, as a bright light surrounded us, and a tugging sensation pulled us back to our universe. We landed on the floor of our base with a loud thud, and after I pulled myself out from underneath everyone, I sighed. "I need a nap." > The Fight at Canterlot > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Are you sure about this Cap?" Jeice asked me, as we quickly flew through the air. Us five and the Element Bearers were called to Canterlot by the princesses, and we five clearly know it's a trap. I looked downwards to see the train the mane six are on quickly move across the ground. "Well, we befriended the Element Bearers, so maybe we can convince Celestia and Luna about the fact that it was all an accident?" I said, before flying over a rather sizable cloud in the way. "Besides, the princesses can't do anything against us, especially now that we all can go super Saiyan." Guldo reminded. "But we should be careful. I can only imagine the reason why the princesses called us is because they have something they think can beat us." I pointed out, as we reached Canterlot skies. "Now everyone, make sure you be on your best behavior." We all slowly descended to the edge of Canterlot where several guards were posted. The second we landed, everyone around us was shocked. "They just flew! Without wings! That should be impossible! Are these the five we were warned against?!" One guard spoke in a rushed voice to another. "Take us to your leader." I said, hiding my smile, as the guards quickly nodded, and we were lead through Canterlot to the castle. As we were walking, we got a lot of stares from the nobles. We ignored the stares, and kept on walking, until we reached the castle in a short amount of time. The guards looked at us sternly, and one spoke up. "Stay here." The pony quickly entered the castle, and I felt several guards quietly surround the area around us. "Hey Ginyus!" I heard Pinkie's voice shout out, as the mane six were lead over to us, surrounded by guards. I smiled, and responded. "Hey girls. Was the trip okay?" Twilight nodded. "It was, but I can't understand why we have all these guards." I sighed. "It's because we were lead into a clearly obvious trap by the princesses. They want nothing more than to defeat us, and they most likely think we did something to force you to help us and consider us friends." The mares were shocked by this. "What?! But Princess Celestia is the nicest mare I've ever met! She wouldn't do something like this!" Right as they said that, dozens of platoons of guards came out of the surrounding buildings, and formed formations around us and pointed their weapons at both of our groups. "Attention Ginyu Force!" Shining Armor yelled, as he came out of the castle, wearing armor, and a spear at his side. "You are under arrest for destruction of property, genocide, mind-control, and many other crimes. If you come peacefully, we won't have to use lethal force, and the surrounding area won't be destroyed, but you don't care about that, do you?!" "What makes you think you'd be able to hurt us? We have powers that makes us much stronger than the princesses. They're weaker than Raditz!" I retorted to Shining Armor, and I could feel the anger coming off of all the guards. "Shining! Why are you doing this! The Ginyu Force aren't evil! They're just misunderstood!" Twilight yelled to her brother, who gave a sorrow-filled glare in return. "I'm sorry that these monsters have gotten to you Twily, but I have to defeat them, to save the world from their tyranny." Shining Armor responded, and I noticing his horn glowed up, before several shields surrounded each of the guards. "Now! Are you going to surrender? Or will we need to force you to?" I sighed. "If you want to do it that way, then we'll do it that way. Men." I looked at them over my shoulder, and we all shared a nod, before quickly flying up into the air, and I fired a small electric beam at Shining Armor's horn, which cut off his spell. I looked down at the six mares, noticing their fear-filled faces, and yelled down to them. "DON'T WORRY GIRLS, WE'LL MAKE SURE TO STAY NON-LETHAL!" "Fine! Come on men! Let's show them the power of the Canterlot Guard!" Shining Armor yelled, as he recovered, and started firing bursts of magic up at us. All the unicorns started doing the same things, while the pegasi started to take off, and prepare their weapons, and the earth ponies pulled out crossbows. "And don't forget to DODGE!" Right as he yelled that word, everything went quiet, before all the guards ran off, crying. "CURSE YOU PAVLOV!" "Stand down Shining Armor! You're army has failed, and we don't want to hurt you." I yelled, before blinking in surprise when Shining Armor and the six mares were teleported away somewhere in a yellow and blue flash. "It should be you who stands down." I heard Celestia's voice speak up, and we all turn around to see them wearing some gaudy looking armor. Their armor was a bright orange, and it looked terrible on both of them. But the strange thing about the armor, was that it had four red stars on both sets, and that I could sense powerful magic radiating from it, much more powerful than Celestia and Luna's usual magic. "We won't. We made a promise a thousand years ago, and we intend to carry it out. We will protect this world. And it seems you two no longer seem to be fit to rule it. You have false accusations without bothering to learn the truth, have destroyed more than we have while trying to catch us, and you have destroyed a magical cure-all just to stop us. By doing so, you've endangered countless of your own ponies by destroying something that could have cured their illnesses." I said, trying to acct as heroically as possible. While all of this stuff is true, I didn't really want to kick them off the throne, I just wanted them to realize we aren't evil. "We are more fit than you to rule it!" Celestia yelled, and fired a beam of magic at me, which I was barely able to deflect in time. 'They are definitely more powerful than before, I might even need to use half my full power against them.' "Men! Protect the civilians. I'll take care of these two." I could feel the uncertain looks of my men, as they slowly floated away. "But Cap!" I heard Jeice try to reason, but I didn't even turn around. "Jeice, are you planning on disobeying a direct order!" I said, and Jeice gulped. "No Cap, it's just that..." I cut him off. "Well then go help the others protect the civilians! I can handle this on my own!" I felt Jeice's energy quickly move away, and I then charged at the two princesses, as we began our battle, but the only thing different this time, was that I don't plan on getting turned to stone. A magical pop filled one of the rooms in the castle, as the Elements of Harmony, and the Captain of the Royal Guard appeared in the room, all a little dazed. They quickly recovered, and the six mares quickly got a few steps away from the captain. Twilight then decided to walk forward. "Shining, you're my BBBFF, why can't you believe me when I tell you that the Ginyu Force is just misunderstood!" Shining Armor just growled. "Because you've been brainwashed Twily! You're the smartest mare I've ever met! Why can you realize that!" He retorted, taking a step forward, trying to assert his dominance. "I haven't been brainwashed! None of the Ginyu Force can even do that!" Twilight yelled, taking another step forward. "That's what they want you to think!" Shining Armor yelled back, as she pushed his snout against hers, and glared into her eyes. "Please Shining! You have to believe me!" Twilight's horn glowed, as she touched it against her brother's (in a way that shows friendship/family love). But to everyone's surprise, Shining raised his hoof up, and slapped Twilight across the room. "Stay away from my mind!" He yelled, in a fury, as Twilight's head impacted a table across the room. "How dare you hurt my friend!" Rainbow Dash yelled, as she flew straight at Shining Armor, but collided with a magic bubble shield. Before Rainbow Dash could even recover, Shining Armor caused the bubble to explode outwards, sending Rainbow flying back, where she collided with her friends. They all quickly got up, and had to hold Rainbow Dash back. "Calm down Rainbow, we can't have you getting knocked out, we need your help." Applejack tried to calm her friend. "But he hurt Twi! I don't care if it's her brother or not, no one hurts my friends!" Rainbow replied. "We're all angry, but we need to work together. Remember what the Ginyu Force told us, that the original ones would always fight one at a time, and because of that, they failed. The new Ginyu Force took that as advice, and decided to use their powers together, and they can vanquish any foe!" Rarity reminded. "So we need to work like that. Now, I have a plan." Shining Armor was holding back his tears, and because of this, he was ignoring the planning of the remaining five mares, but he didn't ignore Rainbow Dash charging at him again. He quickly put up a shield, which Rainbow collided with again. "Why didn't you learn? I won't let you get by my defenses Rainbow Dash!" "I did learn, and if all it took was a little pain to defend my friend, then I'd take it." Rainbow mumbled, and Shining Armor noticed her smile, and quickly looked over to see the other four mares were gone. He was about to look around the room, but he didn't need to, as his shield was being assaulted by small rocks coming from behind him. He turned around, keeping the shield up, as he looked to an angry Rarity. "That won't work! I have spent years of my life developing this shield! It's the ultimate shield!" Shining Armor yelled, but Rarity kept assaulting the shield. To everyone's surprise, Burter temporarily showed up in the room. "The ultimate shield is from a different anime, idiot!" He disappeared as quickly as he appeared, and the mares used this distraction to their advantage, as Applejack quickly began an assault on the shield, and Fluttershy flew up right next to it, and used the Stare to force Shining Armor to look in one direction, and unable to focus on anything else. "What don't you get about ultimate shield?!" Shining Armor yelled, still unable to look away, so he couldn't see Pinkie jump into the air above him. "Shield BREAKER!" Pinkie yelled, as she harnessed an ability that was passed down her family for generations, as it was taught to Surprise by the Ginyu Force. The instant Pinkie impacted the shield, it broke into a million pieces, leaving Pinkie to fall upon a dazed Shining Armor, and allowing the other mares to jump on him as well, and prevent him from escaping. "You think this will hold me back?! I didn't become captain of the guard for nothing!" Shining's horn glowed, as all the mares were flung back. Shining started breathing heavily, as all the magic he's been using has started to take a toll on him. The mares all got back up, and were charging at him at the same time, before a loud yell permeated the air. "STOP!" The room vibrated from the yell, and all ponies looked over to see Twilight stumbling over to the middle of the room. "Twi! You're okay!" Applejack said with a smile on her face, before it faded as she noticed the blood dripping down her face. "Oh my..." "Twily? Are you okay?" Shining Armor asked hesitantly, as Twilight turned to face him, and Shining gasped in surprise as the damage he caused her. Her horn was cracked, and half her face was covered in blood, coming from a wound near her temple. Shining Armor realized that Twilight almost died from the blast, but then a thought from back when he was in school appeared in his mind. 'Cognitive recalibration. Anypony under the affects of mind-control are freed after a hard impact to the head.' Shining Armor tried to take a step forward, thinking that Twilight was free of the Ginyu Force's mind-control. As Shining Armor tried to approach her, Twilight fired a spell out of her fractured horn, and pushed Shining back, but hurt her at the same time. "Stay away from my friends. I don't know why you don't believe us when we tell you that the Ginyu Force is just misunderstood." Hearing those words shocked Shining Armor to his core. 'She wasn't mind-controlled? That means that I... oh Celestia!' "I'm sorry! I didn't realize that you weren't under mind-control! Please forgive me!" Shining yelled, as he tried to get near Twilight, as he started crying, but Twilight kept him at hoof's length. "Why did you change your mind about us?" Rainbow Dash asked. "You could be lying so that you can trap us." "Cognitive Recalibration." Shining Armor said, and all the mares understood what he meant. "I'm sorry for hurting all of you, I thought you were all under the monster's mind-control." "They aren't monsters. They're just misunderstood." Pinkie said, her usual happy tone gone. "Now we have to go and help the Ginyu Force, as they're fighting the princesses, and we don't want them to be stoned again for a misunderstanding." All the ponies in the room nodded at that. "Just give up already, foul monster!" Luna yelled, as she fired another Dragonball enhanced blast at Ginyu, who flipped over it in mid-air, and fired a galick gun in return at Luna's horn, who managed to hold it back by firing a beam at it, creating a beam struggle over Canterlot. "I will never give up!" Right as Ginyu yelled that, Celestia hit him in the back with her own continuous beam. "Never give up, never surrender!" Ginyu yelled, as he held his other hand out to push against Celestia's beam, and fired a Kamehameha towards her, trapping him between two beam struggles. "We have him on the ropes sister! Let's finish this!" Celestia yelled to Luna, who nodded, as they both flooded their beams with their magic, pushing back Ginyu's own beams. "KAIO-KEN! TIMES! FOUR!" Right as Ginyu yelled that, his body glowed red, and his beams broke through the two alicorn's beams, and knocked them back, which he used this time to fly over, and grab both of their heads, before impacting them against each other. The two sisters recovered, and floated a few feet away. "His power is still stronger than ours! How can we defeat him without the Elements?" Luna asked her sister. "I don't know Sister, but we have to defeat him, for our little ponies." The two sisters nodded, and were about to attack Ginyu again, but a loud sound coming from the sky made all three of the fighters look up to see a giant object coming down from the atmosphere. "No." Ginyu said, fear crawling into his voice, which caused both princesses to look surprised that something could scare the powerful fighter. They all watched as the ship landed in the middle of Canterlot, and the top opened up, and a small white and purple bipedal creature with a tail floated out, before floating up to Ginyu. "Ah, there you are Ginyu. I've looked all over the cosmos for you and your team." The creature then looked around, noticing the destruction. "I see you've been fighting the locals? Even after you five disappeared, you still tried to exert my rule." The creature's voice sounded distinctly feminine. The two princesses looked at this strange creature, not expecting Ginyu to take orders from someone else, and by the fact that Ginyu looked terrified, made the two ponies terrified as this creature could be stronger than Ginyu. Celestia cleared her throat and spoke up. "What do you mean, 'your rule?' This is my country, and I won't let you aliens take it!" Celestia fired a powerful beam at the new creature, who didn't even try to block. Both Princesses smirked, expecting the creature to be dead, but their smirks faded, as their jaws dropped, once they saw the white and purple creature just floating there, as if it wasn't hit at all. But the scary part was that it had an annoyed look on it's face. "You're nothing but a work animal, horse. Do you have any idea of who I am? I am the almighty Lord Frieza." Frieza held his finger up, and a purple light shined from it, before it got sent flying at Celestia. "NO!" A voice yelled, and a figure suddenly appeared in front of Celestia, as the beam penetrated it's neck, before the beam cut off the entire head. The two ponies looked in shock, and Ginyu looked in fear and rage, as Guldo's headless body fell to the ground. The two ponies couldn't understand it. Why would a terrorist die defending the two creatures who have constantly tried to defeat them. They both realized at the same time that maybe Twilight's claims were right, and the Ginyu Force was misunderstood. But all of that would be dealt with once this monster was gone. "Huh, Ginyu, did you order Guldo to do that?" Frieza asked, not a care in the world that he killed someone. Ginyu's body started shaking, as he clenched his hands, and looked downward. "No I didn't. He was following the promise of an old friend, who told us to always try to protect those who need it." Ginyu charged at Frieza, surprising him, and Ginyu grabbed his neck. "I WILL NEVER FOLLOW A MONSTER LIKE YOU! I MAY BE CAPTAIN GINYU OF THE GINYU FORCE, BUT I AM NOT THE SAME AS HIM! NOW PREPARE TO DIE FRIEZA! > The Battle Rages On! > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- (I suggest listening to this while playing Frieza music, like this one) "You think you can beat me? You made a terrible mistake Ginyu." Frieza said, getting irritated, and kneed me in the stomach, which caused me to let go, and fly back a few feet. While i was grasping my stomach in pain, I noticed that both princesses were shocked by my pain. They've never seen me take damage before. I quickly recovered, and glared at Frieza. "I guess I'll have to use a lot more power than I usually do. But then again..." I snapped my fingers, and I heard the sounds of teleporting from the rest of my team. "Men, protect the princesses, I'll deal with Space NepolHitler." The others nodded, and quickly grabbed the princesses, and started to fly away, against the princesses wishes. "Still as much of a fool as always, Ginyu. Always fighting one at a time." Frieza said with a laugh. I chuckled as well. "Well, each one of my men has the strength to beat you, I just wanted the credit of beating one of the weaker Dragonball Z villains. You're nothing compared to Majin Buu or Lord Beerus. Hell, you're a pebble compared to Broly." I taunted. "And besides, I've got a secret weapon." I flexed my arms, and flooded my body with energy. "You should just hope I don't have to use it yet." I felt my energy cap off, as my body glowed with a purple hue. 'I hope I don't have to go Super Saiyan.' "So, you've been hiding your true power? Well, let's hope I don't have to go full power." Frieza replied, and my face almost fell, as I remembered that Frieza had a full power form. 'What do I do? What do I do?' "KAIO-KEN!" I yelled, as I charged straight at Frieza, delivering a punch straight into his smug face, sending him flying far back, which I immediately caught up to in time to grab his foot, spin around, throw him down into Canterlot, and I teleported down to the ground, and I held my fist up, which Frieza impacted. I heard Frieza groan in pain, and I quickly grabbed a hold of him, and slammed his spine against my knee. Frieza roared in pain, and I had a smug smile on my face, before it went away when Frieza created an explosive wave, which blew me back. "Ginyu!" My blood froze as I heard those voices, and I turned my head to see the Element Bearers (plus Shining Armor) running towards me with worried expressions. I felt Frieza stomp down on my chest, holding me down, before firing a death beam at the ponies. "NO!" I scream, as the beam quickly approached the ponies. Shining Armor saw this, and quickly moved in front of all of them, and threw up a shield, only for the blast to hit it, and blow up, sending Shining Armor's mangled body flying back into the group of six mares. "Shining!" They yelled, as the mares dealt with their already dead friend. "Seems this world is just full of heroes. It sickens me." Frieza said, and I felt more anger rise up in me. "Hey Frieza!" I yelled, and the second Frieza looked to me, I yelled. "SOLAR FLARE!" Frieza was blinded, and took a step back, freeing me, so I quickly took this chance, and formed a triangle with my fingers, before yelling. "TRI-BEAM!" The geometry hit him straight in the chest, and blew him back into a few buildings. I quickly got to my feet, and noticed I was starting to sweat. 'Crap, Tri-beam wasn't the smartest move. Gotta be careful.' "You've made me mad Ginyu, I hope you're ready to die." Frieza said, as he pulled himself out of the wreckage of the houses. "YOU MONSTER!" A voice screamed out, as a purple beam struck Frieza, and only pushed him back a few centimeters. We both looked to see a furious Twilight being held back by her friends. Tears were streaming down her face. "YOU KILLED MY BROTHER!" She fired another useless beam, that Frieza just grabbed in his hands, and crushed. "You weaklings really need to learn your lesson!" Instead of firing another death-beam, he threw a red death saucer at them. 'CRAP!' I quickly teleported over, and charged up a quick purple blast, which I fired at the saucer, only for it to break apart right before it hit my beam, and flew across my sides at enhanced speeds, and got to the ponies. I wasn't able to react in time, as the saucer reached the ponies, but it quickly fizzled out in a white and blue beam of magic. 'What the? It looks like Celestia and Luna's magic, but it's mixed together. The only way that could happen, is if... holy crap.' "You said you could take care of this on your own. It looks like you'll need help after all." I don't even freakin' KNOW what the hell just landed in front of me. I could only assume it was a fusion of Celestia and Luna, by the similar appearances and the combination of voices. The only thing missing was the clothes all the fusions wear. 'Maybe the magic altered the fusion?' I turned to my landing teammates. "What the hell did you do?! I told you to keep Celestia and Luna out of this! Even fused they barely have the strength of Vegeta on Earth! With that small amount of ki you gave them, they have the strength of Zarbon's transformed state! They'll get slaughtered! And if they somehow survive, they'll split up in 30 minutes, and Frieza will kill them then! What were you thinking!" They all flinched, before Burter spoke up. "Well, they don't have a high fighting power, but their magical capabilities are significantly increased, to the point where they can help us!" I look over to see... Celuna? Lunestia? Using their magic to make Frieza punch himself. "Why are you hitting yourself?" They repeated over and over again. I just sighed, before flying over, and pushing the fusion aside, before kicking Frieza in the crotch, while he was still suspended in a magical field. "THAT'S ENOUGH!" Frieza screamed, as a huge explosion blew everyone back. I managed to slam my hand into the ground, and hold myself there, as the explosion continued to rock the city. When it finally cleared, I looked up to see that the entire city was leveled, and not even the castle was still standing. I looked over to Frieza, to see that he got to 100% strength. "I REFUSE TO BE SHOWN UP BY A BUNCH OF WORK ANIMALS! I AM LORD FRIEZA! THE STRONGEST IN THE UNIVERSE! AND I..." A voice quickly cut him off. "What about Lord Beerus?!" Burter asked. "Fine then, second strongest! But I..." Another voice cut him off. "Don't forget about Majin Buu!" Jeice yelled over. "Third strongest! Still I..." "Lord Whis?! He's Lord Beerus' teacher!" Recoome yelled. "Fourth strongest!" "Mister Popo!" I yelled, with a smile on my face. "SHUT UP!" I blinked, and suddenly I was in the air, and I looked down to see one of Frieza's planet destruction balls fly up to me. It quickly engulfed me, and I felt everything burn as it quickly expanded. I felt searing pain across my entire body. I screamed as loud as I could, as the ball was slowly destroying me. "CAPTAIN!" I heard three voices yell, and I stopped screaming. 'I got to survive, for my team. I guess it's time to let loose the secret weapon.' "I WILL NOT LET YOU DESTROY MY WORLD!" I screamed at the top of my lungs, as my body flooded with Saiyan energy, and I turned Super Saiyan, and destroyed the ball easily. I quickly flew down to the ground, and landed in front of Frieza. "You want to fight Frieza? Then fight me!" "GO Captain! You can do this!" I heard the others yell, but I didn't stop keeping my eye on Frieza. "Men! Protect the Princesses and Elements at all costs!" I yelled back, and heard them give signs of acknowledgement, before a popping sound was heard next to me, and I noticed the Fusion Princess right next to me. "You think we'll let you have all the glory?" She asked with a smug grin, and I sighed, before Frieza fired a death beam at her, and she split up at the last second, saving her from a brutal death, and they both looked at each other, before laughing nervously. "We'll wait with the others." "No you won't. I won't let you interfere again." Frieza said, and quickly reached for Celestia's neck, but I grabbed his arm and held it in a tight grip. "I'm going to break you." I said in a dark voice. "What?" Frieza asked, shocked by my claim, as the princesses escaped. "Like a kit-kat bar." I then promptly broke his arm, and spun around, before throwing him off into the mountain of Canterlot. I quickly flew after him, and got to the mountain before he did, and then created two sauzer blades on my arms, and started spinning. I was about to hit Frieza, but he quickly recovered, and grabbed my sauzer blades, before shattering them. "I wasn't aware that Ginyu had a more powerful form." Luna said, as they were watching the yellow and purple auras fight above Canterlot. "Oh, that? We can all do that. We got ourselves infused with the alien DNA of a species of fighters, and we can do that now." Jeice mentioned, as he finished healing some of the wounds on Celestia. "I just wish we could help, but we don't stand a chance against that kind of power. We never even stood a chance against you five when we planned on attacking you." Celestia said, downtrodden. "You would have just killed us." "That isn't our style." Recoome said, shaking his head. "A thousand years ago, we found an abandoned filly in the Everfree Forest. We tried to find her parents, but everyone considered us a monster because of the accidental destruction we've caused. So we raised her, and she taught us to try and protect those who needed it. Eventually, you froze us in stone for a thousand years, and we've never seen her again, but we've made sure we've kept to her promise. We wouldn't have killed you, we just wanted to make you see that we weren't evil." Both princesses looked down as the aliens told them this. "Is Ginyu going to be okay?" Twilight asked, her face still tear-stained from her brother's death. "Yep. Super Saiyan is stronger than 100% Frieza." Burter said with a chuckle. Right as he finished saying that, Frieza impacted the ground near them, and Ginyu landed straight upon the androgynous alien. "Any last words Frieza?" Ginyu asked, holding a sauzer blade above Frieza's chest. "Yes." Frieza coughed up. "This isn't even my final form." Everyone's eyes widened, and Ginyu moved to bring the blade down on Frieza's chest, but was blown away at the last second by the blinding bright light and massive power increase that was Frieza's next transformation. When the light finally cleared, everyone gasped. Standing above a crater caused by sheer energy, was Frieza, but something was off. Instead of white skin, his skin was a golden color. "Lets see you try and make fun of me now." > Last Hope! Use the Spirit Bomb! > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Lets see you try and make fun of me now." Frieza said, and I stared at him, slack-jawed. 'That's it. We're dead. We're no way strong enough to defeat him now. Unless I were to...' "YOU LOOK UGLY!" We all look over to see Pinkie yelling. She stared at us, and shrugged. "What? He told me to." I quickly shared eye contact with my team, who all quickly powered up to Super Saiyan, and we all charged forward at the same time. Frieza knocked me to the side, slammed Jeice and Burter's heads into each other, before throwing them across the city, and grabbed Recoome by his neck. A loud crack resonated across the entire battlefield, as Recoome's now paralyzed body fell to the ground at Frieza's feet, and he kicked him over to me. I caught my friend, and quickly put him down, before reaching into my pockets, and pulling out an Enigma berry, and I was about to stuff it down Recoome's throat, before I was suddenly flung into the mountain. I screamed in pain as Frieza jabbed his hand straight threw my kidney, and I coughed up blood. I looked up at Frieza, who grabbed my neck, and held me in the air, as the mountain crumbled. "Do you regret betraying me now?" "Go to hell. Oh wait, you've already been there. Go to Tartarus. I hear it's great this time of year." I spat some blood in his face, and Frieza gave me an annoyed look, before pulling his hand back, and bringing it down on my chest. But right as he was about to do that, I yelled. "CHANGE NOW!" Frieza stopped moving, shocked, as the world flashed around us. Unfortunately, a popping sound was heard right before the beam fired out of my mouth, and I was suddenly in front of the princesses. My eyes widened in fear, as the beam connected with Celestia, and we swapped bodies. "Ugh, what happened?" Celestia moaned, before her eyes shot open in surprise at the sound of her voice. "AH! I'M UGLY! AND PURPLE!" "YOU IDIOT! I ALMOST HAD HIM! AND YOU JUST HAD TO TELEPORT ME!" I scream at my old body, which sounded weird with my new voice. "I have a special technique that allows me to swap bodies, and you teleported me right as I was about to swap bodies with Frieza, and get some of his power! Now just stand still, and let me change back!" Celestia nodded, and I grabbed her and held her steady with magic (which wasn't that difficult to do considering the powers I usually wield). I was about to chant the words, but I suddenly found myself with a concussion, and sitting between the rubble of the castle. I tried to stand up, but my body wouldn't let me. I looked down to see my body was really mangled. All four legs were pointing in the wrong directions. "I forgot about your special technique Ginyu. But you won't get so lucky next time." Frieza said, as he stood over my body, charging up a death beam. "THE SAVIOR HAS COME!" I heard a voice scream in the distance, and Frieza's face looked strained, as he looked to where the noise came from, as if he didn't want to turn his head. I look over myself to see Jeice preforming the move, and I smiled, as Burter quickly used solar flare on Frieza, blinding him. I felt Burter grab me, as we teleported out of the way, next to Luna and my body. "Change now!" I yell, and commenced the trade between Celestia and my body. Once I was back in my regular body, I quickly turned Super Saiyan, and teleported over to Recoome, who was already dead. "That Bleeping bleep. NO ONE HARMS MY FRIENDS!" I screamed, before teleporting over to the group. "Captain, we have a few more seconds until Frieza can see again. Any ideas of how to beat him?" Jeice asked. "Use the Elements. Burter, Recoome, and the princesses guard them while they fire them. If that doesn't work, then I'll use the spirit bomb. I'll hold off Frieza while you prepare, just make it quick." The ponies nodded, but my friends looked unsure. "How are you going to hold him off? We don't stand a chance." Burter asked. I quickly pulled out one of the last Enigma berries, and devoured it, feeling my body partly heal. "I'll fight dirty with some game moves." I say, before blasting off, and colliding with an angry Frieza. "Hey Frieza, how you doing? You look like you need a chill pill. Maybe a bag of ice from the Freezer? Oh wait, you destroyed the Freezer, let's just try the Cooler. Let's just hope it kept the ice Cold." "HOW DARE YOU MAKE FUN OF MY FAMILY!" Frieza screamed, charging at me in blind rage. I quickly throw up my arms, and block his attack, without taking any damage. "You call that an attack? My dances do more." I smiled, as I held my block up, and Frieza kept trying to attack me, but couldn't break my guard. Eventually, Frieza lifted his arms up into the air and brought them down on my shield, breaking it instantly, and pushing me back a few feet, while making me dizzy. 'Crap, a shield breaker.' Frieza took that time to punch me straight in the face, and it would have sent me flying if Frieza didn't grab my arms, and break both of them to the point of uselessness. "Prepare to die Ginyu!" Frieza yelled, as he started spinning around, before throwing me at the ground, and I slammed into it, and tried to get up but Frieza landed straight on my back, snapping it, and summoned an energy spear, before holding it above my head. "You shouldn't have disobeyed me. You might have gotten a promotion with your power-upgrade." Right as Frieza was bringing the spear down on my head, several shiny lights started flying towards him, in shapes of butterflies, lightning bolts, apples, diamonds, stars, and balloons. Because of this, Frieza stopped at the last second, and looked over to the six hovering mares. Frieza's eyes widened, as he quickly started to fly over, giving me room to use the telekinesis I have from my powers (I have no idea how it works, but Goku did it with a glass of water, so I learned it a while back) to lift the last enigma berry to my mouth, and I desperately chewed as if I was eating spinach. I quickly stood up to see Frieza reach the six mares, right as they fired the beam of Harmony, and it was a direct hit. I heard Frieza yell, and I sighed, thinking it was over, until I saw Frieza push through the beam, and reach the end, before grabbing Twilight's throat, and holding her up, breaking the beam of Harmony. The others realized this as well, and Burter, Jeice, Celestia, and Luna all moved to stop Frieza, only to see Frieza snap Twilight's neck, throw her (horn-first) at Jeice, who was stabbed through the heart, then Frieza moved his arm up and fired a death beam at each of the Elements and their bearers instantly killing all of them. "NO!" Burter tackled Frieza to the ground, and surprisingly went Super Saiyan 4 (hell if I know where the other forms went, this battle has been very emotional), and tried to beat up Frieza, only to fail as Frieza removed his hand from Burter's chest, and crushed his heart. Burter looked over to me, and I watched as the life left his eyes, and he fell down, only to be disintegrated. I yelled with fury at the death of my comrades, and went Super Saiyan 4 myself, before flying over to Frieza, and yelling as loud as I could. "KAIO-KEN TIMES A TRILLION!" My body glowed bright red, and I felt a searing sensation across my entire body, as I slapped Frieza into the moon, which left a giant crater. I quickly followed the monster, and punched Frieza so hard he was sent straight through the moon, and was sent flying across the solar system. I got back to the princesses, who were distraught over the death of the only ponies who could wield the Elements. I felt my power boost fade, and I had to grit my teeth so I wouldn't scream in pain. "I just bought us maybe a minute. But I won't be able to do that again. The strain on my body is too hard, and I might not survive the next power boost." Celestia stood up, and looked at me stoically. "Is there any weakness to that monster?" "Well, in the movie that form is from, Frieza didn't train with the form, and thus the form required a lot of energy to maintain, but he'd probably still be able to kill us all before he'd power down." I recalled, thinking back to the movie. "Since the Elements are unusable, we have one last chance, I'll have to use the spirit bomb. But it'll take a few minutes to gather the energy from the entire planet. Usually, just the planet wouldn't be enough, but magic and ki is a very powerful combination. Can you buy me the time?" Both sisters looked at me, before looking back to each other, and nodding. They moved a few steps away from each other, and managed to stand on their hind-legs. "Fu!" They stuck their arms out away from each other, and then moved towards each other, quickly pointing their arms to each other. "Sion!" They lifted the leg opposite of each other up, and pointed it to each other, while moving their hands back to the opposite sides. "HA!" They quickly put their legs back down, and touched their fingers to each other, and a bright light consumed them, causing them to fuse. "YOU ARE SO DEAD!" Frieza's voice yelled, and I looked up, to see a golden streak flying through the sky. Panicking, I turned back to the already fused princesses, and tapped their forehead, transferring some knowledge of my skills to their mind, enough to buy me some time, while I brought my fingers up to my forehead. "Buy me a few minutes. I'll tell you when I'm done." I teleported out of there, and let the princesses deal with. The fused Princess collided with the raging tyrant, sending them into a fighting clash. "You think you can buy Ginyu some time to find another way to defeat me?! Well, here's a secret, you can't!" Frieza yelled into the princesses' face. "I'm fighting you because you destroyed my kingdom, slaughtered my subjects, and killed my family! YOU KILLED MY DESCENDENT! THIS IS FOR TWILIGHT SPARKLE YOU ANDROGYNOUS PACK OF [SENTENCE REDACTED]!" With a powerful explosion Frieza was blasted back, yellow and blue magic sparking across his body, before an angry princess burst out from the smoke, and yelled. "KAIO-KEN TIMES 100!" The princesses' body glowed bright red before she yelled some new words. "Ingens potentia vicibus quinquaginta quattuor milia!" The red glow merged with a dark grey one, and the fusion princess fired a massive spell at Frieza which Frieza held up his hands to catch, but badly burnt his hands before he chucked it into the sky, where it blew up, and broke into several tiny parts which swarmed to Frieza, and the princess smiled. "HELLZONE GRENADE!" They all hit Frieza at the same time, creating a massive explosion, as the princesses' power boost deactivated, and she smiled smugly. "Take that, you monster." Suddenly, a red ball of energy flew out of the smoke, collided with the princess, sending them flying back, where Frieza caught up with them, and formed an orange ball around the pony, before kicking the pony in the distance, and quickly following her, before kicking her again. This continued on for a few more minutes, until Frieza kicked the ball to the ground, creating a huge explosion, and severely damaging the princesses. She slowly floated up, breathing heavily, and spat out a broken tooth, before charging at Frieza, while charging her horn. Right when she was in front of Frieza, and about to fire the spell, a popping sound was heard as the fusion Princess split back up into Celestia and Luna. Unfortunately, the princesses, kept on moving forward, and Frieza reached out, and grabbed Luna by the horn, before pulling her closer. "You think you can beat me?! Your kind will die like the rest of you, hopeless, with no power, and no chance of winning." Then, a loud snapping sound along with a ripping sound turned the battlefield quiet, as Luna fell to the ground, her body ripped in two. Celestia cried out for her dead sister, and charged at Frieza, only to be also grabbed by the horn. "Prepare to die." "HEY FRIEZA!" Ginyu's voice yelled across the desolate town, and Frieza turned around to see Ginyu in the distance, with a sun sized ball of ki/magic. Both Frieza and Celestia were shocked by the ball that was the planet's last hope. Frieza let go of Celestia, and quickly flew towards Ginyu, a dark destructive ball in his, as he prepared to kill Ginyu, and destroy the spirit bomb. "PREPARE TO DIE!" Ginyu leaned back, before moving forward, about to throw the ball, when suddenly, a whistling sound came from behind him, and he looked over his shoulder to see the six necklaces that contained the Elements of Harmony floating behind him, before firing a massive rainbow beam at the spirit bomb, and start absorbing it. "NO!" Ginyu screamed as the last hope was sucked up by the Elements, but stopped in his place when the Elements turned their rainbow beam on him, and Ginyu felt dread, fearing turning back into stone, before he felt something different inside of him. The rainbow colored beam continued to empower Ginyu, as his form slowly took on a more glowing rainbow-colored one as his power-level sky-rocketed. When the beam finally stopped, and the Elements disintegrated into dust, Ginyu looked down at his rainbow-colored hands. "So this is what it's like to feel good about yourself." Ginyu then looked up to Frieza, who was floating there, shocked. Ginyu smirked. "Now, maybe this fight will be a little more in our favor." Those Elements must have sensed the trouble, and somehow absorbed the spirit-bomb energy before giving it to me, along with the magical energy so I could defeat Frieza. Well, I won't let them down. I'm not a monster, I'm not a hero. I'm simply a captain of the best squad in space. With speeds unheard of, I charged at Frieza, and punched him straight in the face, breaking a few bones, as he got sent flying out of the atmosphere. I quickly followed him, and kicked him down in the chest, crashing him down on the moon, cracking it further, before I pulled back my hands, and fired a massive beam which collided with Frieza, sending him straight through the moon again, breaking it into large parts. Frieza fell back down to the planet, and I flew after him, and watched as he collided with the planet, and tried to get up, but I slammed down on his legs, breaking both of them, before stepping on his arms, breaking both of them, then I created two sauzer blades on my arms, and cut off Frieza's limbs, before dispelling them, and crouching down, punching Frieza in the face. "HOW! HOW ARE YOU THIS POWERFUL!" I'M FRIEZA! I'M THE MOST DANGEROUS CREATURE IN THE UNIVERSE! I RULE MORE GALAXIES THAN I CAN COUNT! HOW AM I LOSING TO A LOWLY CAPTAIN!" Frieza screamed, his eyes swollen, and surprisingly was still in his golden state. He managed to start floating again, but was now nothing but a torso and head. "You're losing because you're nothing. You care not about life. I was instilled these powers by the forces of harmony itself, just to fight you and defeat you. They all want you to be turned to stone for your crimes, but I got several voices in my head suggesting a much better idea." I reached forward, grabbed Frieza's neck, and threw him up into the air, before pulling my arms back, and charging up everything I had. "KAMEHAMEHA! GALICK GUN! SPECIAL BEAM CANNON! LIGHT GRENADE! SUPER KAMEHAMEHA! DESTRUCTO DISC! SPIRIT BALL! TRI-BEAM! DODON RAY! FINAL FLASH! BIG BANG ATTACK! ERASER GUN!" I kept on yelling for what felt like an hour, firing every single blast I could remember. When the smoke finally cleared, it showed Frieza's white and purple body struggling to stay afloat high in the sky. "FRIEZA! YOU WILL PAY FOR YOUR CRIMES BY YOUR DEATH!" I started flying towards Frieza, quickly picking up speed, and I pulled my fist back, as it started to glow golden. "BECAUSE IF I DON'T, WHO WILL?! DRAGON FIST!" The second I finished yelling, I threw my fist forward, and a huge golden dragon with some rainbows in it took my place as it collided with the screaming Frieza, and destroyed every last bit of him. The dragon faded, and I slowly flew down to the ground, next to the dead body of Luna, and the grieving Celestia. "It's over. It's finally over. Now we can rebuild." I patted Celestia on the head, trying to calm her down. "Rebuild?! We lost EVERYTHING! I lost my student! We lost our guardians! I LOST MY SISTER AGAIN! AND THIS TIME IT'S PERMANENT! THERE'S NO WAY TO BRING THEM ALL BACK! THIS NEVER WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF YOU DIED A THOUSAND YEARS AGO!" Celestia screamed at me. I looked downwards, clenching my hands, as tears freely flowed. "You think your the only one who lost something?! I lost my team! They were the only family I had left! I lost everything when I got these powers! And because of these powers, we were hunted for years because of a few accidents! I lost my daughter because you stoned us! ALL THIS TIME, YOU NEVER TRUSTED US OR THE GIRLS! YOU THOUGHT WE WERE MIND CONTROLLING THEM, JUST BECAUSE YOU COULDN'T BELIEVE THAT WE MIGHT NOT HAVE BEEN EVIL! YOU COULD HAVE PREPARED! IF WE'VE NEVER FOUGHT A THOUSAND YEARS AGO, ALL THE PONIES MIGHT HAVE ADVANCED FIGHTING SKILLS AND WE COULD HAVE BEATEN FRIEZA EASIER! SO DON'T PIN THIS ON ME!" I screamed back to her, as the planet began shaking from my anger and sadness. I sighed, calming down, and started walking away, until I noticed an orange glimmer to the side. Raising an eyebrow, I walked over, and gently removed the rubble, before gasping in shock at what I saw. It was an orange ball with four red stars in it. I quickly picked it up, and squeezed it, feeling pain in my hand, as it wouldn't break. "No way!" I yelled, as I started laughing. Celestia looked over at me angrily. "THIS IS NO TIME TO LAUGH YOU MONSTER! EVERYPONY IS DEAD!" I turned around, holding out the dragon Ball. "No, this is a perfectly good time to laugh! Do you know what this is?!" Celestia shook her head. "We found it a while back. We sensed great magical power coming from it, so we tried to copy it's abilities into armor, hoping to finally beat you five. But we could barely tap into it's potential. You act like you know what it is? But that should be impossible. We kept it hidden for as long as we knew it." I laughed again. "This is called a Dragon Ball. It's one of seven mystical objects created by the guardian of a planet. When you gather all seven in one place, you can summon the eternal dragon, and he will grant any wish. Such as bringing back all of those who died in the battle against Frieza." As I spoke, Celestia's eyes opened in disbelief, before she started laughing. "We can bring back Lulu and Twilight! You're not lying are you?!" Celestia asked me sternly. "I'm not. But the problem is that we don't know where the other six could be, and it'll take a long time to find them without a dragon radar." An idea popped in my head. "But maybe we could get some help from an outside source." > Find the Dragon Balls! You can find them all! > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- “So, how does this work?” Celestia asked, as we stood in a small area we cleared of debris. I held out a small Displaced token I found a while back, and it felt like whoever the person was, they’d help a lot with their Iron Man powers. I looked back down at the token, which was a red gear with yellow teeth and a bright blue arc reactor in the center. “Well, I summon the Displaced, which in this case is most likely Iron Man, who probably has some tech that can scan the Dragon Ball, and find out where other signatures like it are. I took a deep breath. “I summon thee, Iron Man, to this dimension! We need your help!” “Is the accent necessary?” Celestia asked. I shrugged. “I don’t know what else to say.” The token glowed with a bright light, which I quickly dropped to the ground, and took a step back, being careful of the debris as the white light revealed exactly who I expected. The figure was a middle aged guy in a sharp looking tux.  He also looked pissed.  “I was at a board meeting in Quilxing, you better have a damn good reas-” He looked over at the smoldering remains of Canterlot, the moon, and the nearby area. “Never mind.”  He straightened himself out, did a quick bow to both of us and said, “The name’s Jacob, or Iron Man.  What do you want me to do?” Suddenly, a loud tearing sound was heard, and a purple and red/yellow blur flung through a hole in time, and the red/yellow blurwent through a hole back to Jacob’s world. “What was that?” I smiled for a second. “Time travel. Don’t worry about it. Can you use your science and help us find a way to scan for this…” I held out the four star ball. “We kinda need them to revive everyone. Luna, who’s torn in half, the mane six, who are dead from various causes, Shining Armor, who was blown up, and the rest of my team, who mostly had their neck snapped. Think you can do it?” “I’m gonna need to use my lab.” said Jacob before snapping his fingers, causing a portal to open.  It revealed a lab that made Capsule Corps look like a joke. “You wanna go with me? Or are you good?” I shrugged. “Sure, I’ll go.” “Celestia?” asked Jacob in a flat tone. Celestia cringed at the sight of the lab. “I’d prefer to stay here.” “Fine.” sighed Jacob before hopping through the portal, yelling, “Peace!” I gave Celestia a ‘be careful, and don’t die’ look, before walking through the portal. The second I went through, I was flabbergasted by the sights. “This,” Jacob said as the rest of the lights turned on to reveal a larger portion of the lab. “Is where the magic happens, then is analyzed, then broken apart, then happens again.”  Robots and androids were flying all over the place, holographic screens flashed into existence, only to disappear in a few seconds with a sway of Jacob’s hand, some armors were laying on tables, waiting to be patched up.  It was fun, chaotic, yet brilliant.  What caught my attention the most however was a small picture of a clearly younger Jacob, Surprise, and a dark grey pegasus with black hair.   I walked over to the picture, and gently picked it up. “Hey, who’s this?” I asked pointing to the picture. “That is me, my adoptive little sister Surprise, and her brother Hard Case.” Jacob smiled fondly, “Ah such good, yet ancient times.” I had a smile on my face as well, as I reached into my armor, and pulled out a picture I took a while back, before showing Jacob. “I guess our universes have some similarities. This is a picture my team took a thousand years ago with our adoptive daughter Surprise. Last we saw her, she was a grown mare. Then we were stoned.” The picture showed the entire Ginyu Force all in poses we recently thought up (around that time) and Surprise was laughing at our faces, which betrayed us in showing that the poses were harder to make than they appear. “Yeah Surprise was great, I got a story about how we met, but you most likely don’t wanna hear an old man ramble on.”  Jacob slowly walked over to a table and sat in an arm chair.  “Or do you?” I thought about it. “It’d be good travel talk, while we’re locating the Dragon Balls. Who knows how far we have to travel just to find another?” While I was talking, Jacob was hunched over, his hands working at a speed that would make light look slow, in the end though, Jacob held up a small, grey, pocket watch with the Ginyu Force’s logo on the back.  The theme music was even playing from somewhere. “Here you go, this will act as both a universal watch, and a locator system.  On the top of it, you will see seven arrows pointing in different directions.  Under the arrows, you’ll find a Dragon Ball image underneath it.” Jacob then said, “Mark Fifty”  There was a bright flash, then Jacob was in a crimson and gold armor that screamed both nerd and badass. “Let’s go hunting for some Deus ex Machinas.” I had a huge smile on my face, as I walked back through the portal and floated slightly in the air. “Think your suit can catch up with me? The radar shows that the closest ball is about a kingdom away.” “What’s your top speed clock in at?” asked Jacob. I pointed my hand at the sky, and fired a laser into space. “Everyone who’s a threat in this world can fire beams that move as fast as light. We all have the speed to dodge those beams. What do you think my top speed’s at?” Jacob smirked under his helm at this, “My top speed, when the safety is off, allows me to go 3x light speed through use of a portal tunnel, but with the safety on, I should be able to keep up with you.  If that fails, then there is always teleporting.” I chuckled a bit. “3 times light speed. I remember when I was that slow.” I shook my head. “Anyways, time to put the rulers away, we got Dragon Balls to find.” I took another look at the radar, before flying off into the distance. “Alright!” said Jacob before catching up with me. “So… got anything to pass the time?” “Umm… well, I can only think of stories, as the rest of my team are dead. Killed by Frieza by the way. I used the power of deus ex machina to turn Frieza into ash.” I recalled. “Got any tough villains yet?” “Let me guess, it somehow has to do with you losing a thousand years of your life?” I asked. “It’s a long story.” said Jacob. “If I am to tell it, then would you mind it if I start off with something nice?” “I’d like to hear it, and whatever the nice thing is. But the problem is that we just arrived at our destination.” I looked down at the castle the Griffon King lives in. “Figures the Griffons would have a Dragon Ball. Probably trying to find some way to overthrow Celestia and Luna.” “How do we go about this, I can sneak in and grab it right under their beaks, but it is more fun to blow stuff up.” said Jacob “I’m not killing anyone. Except for the king, but only if there’s a good opportunity. The Griffons aren’t all bad, they just have a greedy royal family. The best way would be to do it honorably, and put some humility into them. So, maybe fight their best warrior. Or just punch the king in the face and take the ball.” Jacob just looked annoyed, “I wasn’t talking about killing anyone.  I was thinking that we could use controlled explosions to scare everyone out of the castle and take the Dragon Ball in the chaos.” I put my hand on my chin, and thought about it. “I believe they are having their court thing right now, so I think it’d be fun to just drop in through the ceiling, take the Dragon Ball, and slap the king. What’chu think?” “Fine, but I get to make it funny.” added Jacob, pulling out a monocle and a bubble pipe. I smiled, and cracked my neck. “Got any good ways to remove a ceiling?” “I freeze it, you punch it?” asked Jacob, removing the helmet.  I nodded, and quickly dropped down to the top of the roof, and pulled my arm back. “Ready when you are.” Jacob breathed in deeply and blew out a subzero chill that spread all over the ceiling and blocked the doors. “Ready.” I slammed my fist into the roof, and everything that was covered in ice cracked into tiny pieces. I dropped into the room, and summoned two energy balls in my hands. Just to act threatening. The guards shot at us with their crossbows and barely missed Jacob.  Jacob turned to said guard, grabbed him by the throat, and said, “Hey Dandy Dick?”  The Griffon looked like a scared puppy, probably pissing himself.  “You missed! Woop woop woop woop woop!” As he was running around, he slapped each guard, causing them to fall unconscious. He then flipped right on the chandelier and said, “Who wants some fun?” “I do!” I yelled, and fired a beam into the ceiling, making all the regular Griffons scream, as if I was robbing a bank. “Now, nobody be a hero. We’re just here for one thing. That guy’s crown!” I pointed to the king, who had a Dragon Ball on his crown. “I also apparently sound a bit like Rocket Racoon.” “I am not Groot.” said my partner in crime before walking to the king, smiling all the way, getting in his face, and simply saying, “Hi.”  The king jumped up as the crown fell into my hands, as I ran over to grab it before it fell on the ground. I tried to pull out the Dragon Ball, but it was really wedged into the crown. “Grr… come loose!” With one final yank, I removed the Dragon Ball, and messed up the crown. “They don’t make diamonds like they used to.” I tossed the scrap to the king. “Nothing personal. We just need this. You weren’t going to use it. Plus, you’re ugly. Bye.” I quickly flew out of the castle, and off onto the next destination. In a puff of confetti, Jacob appeared next to me.  “Two down, five to go.” “How the hell did you do that? Iron Man doesn’t have any supernatural powers.” I asked, curious about the confetti. “Ever wondered how Pinkie was able to do what she can do?  I was trained how to do it by the expert on party impossibilities herself, Surprise.  With this, I can do numerous things that are headache inducing in concept.” “That’s interesting. This world’s Pinkie actually uses skills we taught Surprise to do her ‘impossible’ acts, like Instant Transmission. Most of the skills were forgotten, but it seems some were passed down.” “One of the abilities that I learned from Surprise is Smile Hd and Sd modes, while powerful, I have little emotional control in those states.  They are similar to super Saiyan one and two in power and abilities.  Perhaps our world’s Surprises are surprisingly similar.” “Speaking of super Saiyan, I recently unlocked super Saiyan four.” I said, remembering the recent fight, Jacob shot me a glare, “We do not mention GT here, but good for you.” “I don’t really hate GT, but the rest of my team actually has a part of GT in them. When we arrived, we quickly learned about our multiple personalities. We have one for all different versions of ourself. Most noticeably our original body, the Funimation one, TFS one, Ocean Dub, and original Japanese one. It’s pretty weird changing personalities every few minutes.” I take another look at the radar. “Wait, we’re here.” I looked down, only seeing rocky planes. I sigh. “Diamond Dogs. I’ll just grab the ball and be out. Don’t want to deal with these idiots.” I quickly teleported in, and grabbed the ball, and teleported back out without being noticed. “Three down.” We both then flew off. “Seeing how this is the farthest distance, I might be able to state my story.  Also, as for the personality thing, I can relate.  I have a certain voice that can’t shut up.” “Fuck you Jacob!” said an unknown voice in Jacob’s head. “Fuck you too Hyde, you lovable bastard.” said Jacob before turning to me. “What was I saying before?” “Something about your past. Also, sorry if I seem a little distant. It’s hard losing a lot of good friends. I’m usually spouting out references.” I said in a depressed voice. “It’s okay, you’ll get your men back, and maybe even Surprise if I can talk the dragon into it.” offered Jacob with some hope. I stopped for a second, before putting my hands up. “Whoa, not going that far. She’s been dead for a thousand years, I’m not reviving her. I wouldn’t want to be pulled out of heaven or wherever I go, especially after a thousand years. Just going to be reviving those who died in the battle at Canterlot. “Understood” said Jacob. “So… your story? It may take a half-hour to reach the next location, which seems to be in the badlands.” “Alright,” he said, clearing his throat, “It all started one thousand eleven years ago.  I had just been displaced a few hours prior and was very scared.  I managed to learn a few useful things from Jarvis, who thought that I stole one of Mr. Stark’s suits.  I came across a mountain.  I didn’t master flying at the time, so I had to climb said mountain.  One the top of the mountain, Surprise was there.  We exchanged some words of good will, and eventually, she wanted me to spend the night at her place in Pegasopolis, now known as Cloudsdale.  When I got there, I saw a large stack of bills and taxes.  Wanting to repay her kindness, I did her taxes and saved her some bits in the process.  She was so thankful that she offered me a job as a playwright and bookkeeper for a theatre that she ran.  Knowing that I needed money, I accepted.  Over the few weeks that I stayed with her, I noticed that she did some things that seemed impossible.  Like popping out of plants, teleporting, making a party appear out of nowhere, ect.  I asked her about this and she said to meet her in the local arena.  When I got there, she said that she was going to train me in the ways of party impossibilities.  Three months of spiritual, physical, and mental training, I was Pepe le Peu hopping from cloud to cloud with her, able to throw pies or other things with perfect aim, sense a being's emotions, juggle ten ton balls, and do as much crazy crap as she could.  I was back to making plays or musicals that were renditions of books and anime that I remembered.  I think the pony Ginyu force were rather hilarious.  I was feeling good about myself as I was living my life day by day with a smile and a cupcake.  For about ten years, I was having the time of my life. Too bad that it ended so quickly.”  Jacob sighed and rubbed his temples. “The second part of my tale is nowhere near as nice as the first one, but it is necessary.  Surprise and I went to the Crystal Empire for a couple days of winter fun.  The problem is that the Princess’s forces were having a secret war with Sombra.  He was using a darkened Crystal Heart to turn his own citizens into blood thirsty leviathans of death.  The crystal beasts were winning the fight, what with their stronger brute strength and numbers.  With a small amount of compassion, and possibly foolishness, we donned ninja suits ripped off of Naruto, and snuck all the way to the throne room where Sombra.  He called me a soulless metal golem, and Surprise a dirty whore.  I lost it and moved to punch Sombra in the face, but he was far too fast on the draw as he trapped Surprise in a dark crystal gem.  Sombra was the only one who could release her, and he wouldn’t do that.  We fought hard and quick with magic and tech.  The king was almost defeated, until he pulled out the Crystal Heart.  He used one last spell to rocket me out of the Empire before sending him, his men, and his empire, into a pocket dimension.  Realizing that I might never see Surprise again, I broke down.  While depressed, I dragged any injured guard to a doctor, and flew away in sorrow.”  Jacob then calmed down and looked towards me with an outwardly happy, but inwardly sad look. “At least the last part is stupidly ridiculous with a joke at the end.  The bad news is, I am the butt of it.” “So, your Surprise got JRPG’ed? Tough world. Do you have to find seven other crystals to save her?” I said in a monotone voice. “No, the only one who can release her is the one who cast the spell.  That isn’t the problem though.  The problem is the effects that dark magic crystals have on the mind.  Do you recall an alicorn amulet by chance?” I nodded, “Yeah, Trixie showed up at one point with it, and started messing with everything, so we came to stop her, and Guldo got to fight her, and she couldn’t do anything as an alicorn has a power level similar to Raditz. Guldo kept on time-stopping, and eventually, a z-fighter showed up. I think it was Chiaotzu. Eventually, during the battle, Trixie realised that she was out-matched, and tore off the amulet, before running away, crying and screaming.” “And Miss Lunamoon had it on for a week at most, yet in that short time, she was already aggressive and evil towards most with that much contact.  With the amount of time that Surprise is inside of that crystal prison, I fear that even if I free her body, there may not be that much left of Surprise in the mind.” I laughed a little. “Don’t know why you’re worried. Ever heard of Devilman’s Devilmite beam? And how it increases the evil in one’s heart until they die? I’ve seen dark magic effect ponies, and at least in this world, it wouldn’t work again a pure-hearted pony like Surprise. Kind of hard to corrupt something that doesn’t have a single dark thought. But if the laws of your world are just that much more different than mine, you can take a piece of this world with you, so you can utilize this world’s logic.” “That might be crazy enough to work.” Jacob then laughed.  “Here I was thinking of making Surprise into a Crystal gem like pony if I got too furious and murdered Sombra before releasing her.  Now that I think about it, I think that would be an idiotic idea.”   He then grinned, “Now comes the ridiculously infuriating part.” He cleared his throat and continued,  “About a couple days after I returned to a lab that I built three years prior, I found a hundred guards waiting outside the cave mouth.  I asked them what was going on, and they said that I was to go to court for crimes of mass destruction and murder.  I went into court, only to be bound and gagged, have the witnesses be nobles who were not even there, have Celestia as a Judge, Luna as a prosecutor, and an infant as my defence.” “Wait, a literal infant? Or is that just a hyperbole?” I asked, wondering what kind of corrupt Gotham-Canterlot world he lives in. “That sounds like something I’d expect from Batman… wait, that sounds exactly like what happened in the first Fullmetal Alchemist anime. The one that doesn’t follow the manga. The chimeras secretly invaded Ishbal, and killed some high-ups, before being sentenced by the government.” “I couldn’t make this up if I was high.  It was a literal infant, diaper and all.” “Was it Phoenix Wright as a pony baby? Because that wouldn’t be too bad. ‘Objection! I need to use the bathroom! Wait, I already went!’” I laughed. “No, but they do have a Phoenix Wright system.  I was charged with destroying the Crystal Empire and murdering all of it’s citizens with explosives.  The baby was taking a nap and the ‘witnesses’ were all agreeing with the Princess.  While bound and gagged, I realized why it was so overkill.  The princesses were using me as an unwilling scapegoat to make sure that ponies never find out about the war.  The Princesses sentenced me to an eternal stone prison twenty yards from Discord’s.  I had to avoid going insane by singing five million bottles of beer on the wall over and over and over.  I saw seasons change and people grow old and die right in front of me for one thousand years.  BTW, did you know that there was once a steampunk era in pony history that lasted for twenty years?” “When my team and I were frozen, we watched Canterlot age as well. We also saw the Castle of the Two Sisters age, before it was destroyed. But in this world, there was no steampunk age. There was a dark ages-like era for a hundred years after Luna’s banishment, and after that, everything was Victorian for a hundred and a half years.” I looked down. “We arrived.” I dropped to the ground, causing some dust to fly up, as I looked around, searching for energy. “Appears we got Changelings. They are not going to be happy with me, especially if their queen died during the battle with Frieza.” “You stay here, I’ll get the Dragon Ball.” He took the locator and literally turned invisible and phased through the ground and into the hive.  A few minutes later, Jacob floated out of there with a Dragon Ball in his hand.  “Had to knock out some guards, but I was mostly undetected.” I snatched the two star ball from his hands, before applying a bit of pressure on it, making sure it was real. “THERE HE IS! THE ONE WHO CAUSED OUR QUEEN TO BE TRAPPED IN THE PONIES KINGDOM! ATTACK!” I turned my head to look at the charging Changelings, and created a massive explosion, sending them all flying in different directions. “They’ll live.” I said, before flying off. I looked back to the radar, and smiled. “Hey! The next ball is in the Minotaur lands! I can just Instant Transmission us there! I haven’t seen the Minotaurs since they helped us a thousand years back!” I flew down to Jacob’s level. “This is going to feel a little weird if you haven’t experienced it before.” I grabbed his shoulder, and before he could even speak, tapped my forehead, and sent us to the Minotaur lands. “Huh, like the confetti warp, but you don’t have to worry about getting confetti in your mouth.  I like it!” said Jacob. I looked around the surrounding area of the Minotaur city, before my smile fell as I saw the destruction everywhere. I sighed, before putting my hand on my brow. “Please tell me they didn’t have a huge fight over the Dragon Ball.” I fired a beam from my hand, clearing some rubble in front of us. “This way to the… place… I don’t know what to call it. “Huh, so this is your world’s version of Moscow?  Not bad, though I hope that I don’t have to change languages to talk to anyone.” said Jacob while looking around. “Moscow? Dude, this is this world’s version of America. Equestria is the UK, Badlands are Africa, Griffons are Canada, and so on and so forth. Although none of them look like the countries from the skies.” “In my world, the Zebras are in a form of Austrailia. Don’t ask, for it will give thou a headache. The Cameras are Chinese, The Sirens are Korean, and the ponies conquered everything else.” “No.” I mutter, as I run ahead, before falling to my knees. “THEY BLEW IT UP!” I yelled, gesturing to the Statue of Minotaurity which was covered in rubble. I looked to my side, and saw a skeleton of a Minotaur fighting with another one, and one of them had a Dragon Ball in their hands. I gently pulled it from them, before sighing, as I looked across the place I once considered home. “I told them not to try and split the atom. But they didn’t listen to me.” “Damn, you think that we could wish them back? Say that they were destroyed by Frieza?  He’s strong enough to do it.” “The dragon wouldn’t buy it. It would know that these guys killed themselves. I also wouldn’t want to revive any of them yet, as this place is chuck full of radiation. I’m just glad whatever species I am is immune to this stuff. I was wondering what those bright lights I saw in the distance a few days ago were, but I didn’t realize that they were nukes.” I float into the air. “Come on, we’re almost done.” “Thank you radiation shields, also, how many do we have left?” asked Jacob. “Two more. One looks like it’s in the dragon territory, while the other appears to be… moving? Away from the Zebra lands. Let’s deal with the Dragons first though.” I started to fly off, as I stuffed the Dragon Ball into wherever I keep them. “Alright, now I wanna hear a story from you.” said Jacob. “You told me your origin story, so I’ll tell you mine.” I sighed, thinking back. “After us five bought from the Merchant, we found ourselves in Attack Pods, flying down to this planet. I was freaking out, as I didn’t know what was happening. It didn’t take that long for us to crash a few miles outside of what Celestia and Luna ruled from before the Castle of the Two Sisters. I think they called it the… let’s see… what was it again? Oh right, it was The Town Ruled by Two Princesses. It was like twice the size of Canterlot by that time. So, when we crashed, we all left our pods, and started freaking out when we saw each other. It didn’t take long to figure out who was who by the way we were speaking. After calming down, we decided to head for the city, hoping to find a way back home to our original bodies. But the Princesses saw our arrival, and took hundreds of guards with them, and attacked us on sight, thinking us alien invaders. We accidently defeated the entire army with ease. At that point in time, we were as strong as Raditz, if not a bit stronger. We didn’t know how to do anything, so we couldn’t escape the Princesses’ divine judgement. They hit us so hard, we crashed into the city. Unfortunately, I hit my head, which scrambled my memories, and unleashed a blast of ki that I couldn’t control. It was at that point the voices showed up, and I couldn’t remember who I was before except for some certain memories. But that blast of ki was supercharged by my new anger, and turned into a powerful destructive wave, that destroyed the entire city, and almost killed all of my friends and the Princesses. When I realized that I just commited genocide, I grabbed my friends, ran to the attack pods, blasted them to pieces, and took them into the Everfree Forest, where we built our base.” I stop for a moment, to take a breath, and remember back to that moment. Jacob clapped his hands for a little bit, “Great use of description.  Reminds me of my old life as a Professor.” “I’m also not done with my story. As the weeks turned into months, We slowly tried learning our powers, and I learned that my team also had fractured memories from the blast. We didn’t have a teacher, so we taught ourselves from what we remembered of the show. The first time I fired a ki blast, I accidently started a forest fire, and that’s when our characters powers started showing. Burter ran fast enough to create a tornado, that put out the fire. The Princesses noticed this tornado, and found us in the forest. We tried to use what we learned, and Recoome mistakenly used the Eraser Gun, which the princesses dodged, and we all watched in terror as the beam destroyed another village. We escaped with a quick solar flare, and stayed hidden for a few months. That was when we found a young filly left in the forest. We decided to raise her, and the filly was indeed Surprise. She taught us how to feel, after we were all depressed from our destruction. We quickly got back on our feet, and truly became what the Ginyu Force was, except for the murdering. We started posing and dancing, and every day was happy. Eventually, we were traveling to a distant area to train Surprise some techniques, and that’s when we encountered the Minotaurs, who after a few months of training with them, we found out about Korin’s Tower in this world, and went to check it out. We met Korin, got some Senzus, and went even higher and trained with Mr. Popo and this world’s Kami. It took a few months, but we returned from the top of the tower, only to find the Princesses blowing up Korin’s tower, destroying almost all Senzu beans, and the only way to grow them. We got so angry, that we confronted the Princesses, and fell into their trap by using this world’s logic against us. They charged up the Elements, and fired, but we couldn’t dodge due to being in a DBZ world. So we were stoned for a thousand years. We were freed during the Canterlot Invasion, where we defeated Chrysalis and her Changelings and flew off to our base. After that we slowly built up relations to the mane six, and then everything led to the Battle of Canterlot.” “While you were busy, I was just using a revenge plan on Celestia.” said Jacob. “If I were you, I’d publicly humiliate her for her actions. Maybe some kind of financial takeover?” I suggested. “But my style is fighting, so that what I do.” “It is less of a financial takeover, and more of a political one.  I go to the second and third strongest countries, help them out with inventions and a company or two, and gain their respect and support.  With my newfound political immunity, I will make Celestia and Luna state everything that they did to me in front of thousands of ponies three days before her niece's wedding, thus destroying her reputation as perfect.  Finally, I plan on eating an ice cream cone in celebration as I plan for Sombra.  I do like battle, but I wish to cause as little injuries as possible.” “Okay, so how do you get political immunity by helping out other countries? I understand getting that in those countries, but not in Equestria.” I asked, confused. “Simply, my purple compatriot. Alloy International happens to make great leaps and bounds in financial and charity work as well.  I stimulate both countries enough to please and gain support from their leaders.  Now, I have two countries with advanced technology that will gladly avenge me if I were to be imprisoned or killed, thus, I now have political immunity.” “What if the Princesses do kill you or whatever? Then, you basically just kick-started a world war in one of the most peaceful planets I’ve ever seen.” “Simple, the princesses have been around long enough to have known when to swallow their pride and find a peaceful solution, or go to war.” He explained. “Hopefully they do. Would be a shame if some exterior force was controlling them.” I shook my head. “Nah, that sounds like something I might expect, but not in your universe. All the Marvel mind controllers were either enemies of the X-men, were the X-men, or some Hulk villains.” “Oh wait, we’re here.” Jacob said while looking at the locator. I took a look around, to notice we were above the Dragon territories. I felt something warm on my back, and felt a familiar power level, and hesitantly turned around to see the familiar blood red dragon flying right behind us. “GINYU! I TOLD YOU NEVER TO COME BACK HERE AGAIN!” “I’m sorry!” I yelled, cowering. “I just need to get something to help my friends! I’ll be out of here in no time at all! Please don’t kill me!” “I’ll deal with him, you get the ball.” suggested Jacob. I gave him a ‘what are you talkng about?’ look. “I wouldn’t recommend it. He’s like the god to these dragons. He’s strong enough to take on the entire Ginyu force by himself, and not take a single hit, even if we use the world’s logic, and time-stopping. His power level is about the same as… Buu’s… well crap. I’m an idiot.” I flexed for a second, as I flooded my body with my recent power-up, and started glowing rainbow colored again. “I forgot I obtained a god-form.” I flew up to the dragon. “This is for all the times you insulted our team and our dances.” I flicked him in the nose, and he was sent flying miles away, with a broken nose. “Let’s just get the ball, and get out of here quick.” “Nice form.” said Jacob while holding the ball. “Snatched this while the dragons were looking up at you.” I smiled. “One left.” I looked back at the radar, to see that the last one was indeed moving. “Someone definitely has this final ball, so we should be careful. Hopefully they don’t know about the deal with the balls.” I powered down, and blasted off to the next location. We both quickly arrived, to see a smoke trail coming from the dirt road. I quickly floated over, to see a small blue pony dressed like someone important ordering an orange diamond dog, and an adult pony, while they were wearing robot suits. “No freaking way. I didn’t know these guys were on this planet.” “Pilaf?” asked Jacob. I nodded my head. “Should we just do this excessively to let them know not to look for the Dragon Balls?” I asked. “I was going to trade them for it, but sure.” sighed Jacob, while putting away an ice cream cone. I gave a sinister smile, and used Instant Transmission to teleport both of us to a bush ahead of the group. “Now, we’ll wait for them to come by, we’ll jump out, and you hack their robots or something, and make them do weird things like punching themselves.” “I can’t believe how easy this was getting these balls from the weak Zebras!” Pilaf pony shouted, laughing. “Yes it was, sire.” Shu-dog agreed. “I really hope that no one attacks us on our way to the next ones!” Mei-pony spoke loudly. “But that would probably never happen!” “Rustle Rustle.” I state, as I shake the bush, before jumping out. “I’m an ambush!” “Hey kids, let me tell you something about Murphy’s law… don’t fuck with it.” Jacob stated before using extremis to control the robot suits to beat the crap out of each other. “Who are you placing bets on?” “Hmm… maybe Pilaf’s, as he would most likely take the strongest and best one.” I said, as I watched the battle unfurl. After a few minutes, I got bored, and quickly ripped apart their suits, grabbed the Dragon Ball, and spoke. “Now listen you three, next time, think about this before you hunt for these things.” I pointed out into the distance. “See that mountain?” Suddenly, the mountain blew up. “Yeah, that’s barely a fraction of my power. Now, I suggest you look for world dominance another way.” I flied off, leaving their jaws dropped. “If you let them continue and if Pilaf won, you would have gotten all of my sake.  Party pooper.” grumbled Jacob. “Let’s just summon the dragon.” “Hang on, I need to reference.” I stated, as I took all seven Dragon Balls and held five of them in the air above me with my telekinesis while juggling two of them. As we were flying, I eventually dropped one of the balls, and quickly flew down to grab it, before it landed in the water. “There. Reference done.” I put the balls away safely, and teleported us to Canterlot. “Hi, Celestia.” said Jacob. Celestia turned around, and gave us a serious face. “Did you find all of these Dragon Balls?” I nodded, and held them all out. Then suddenly Luna came out of nowhere, and spoke up. “Prae tell, what are these ‘Dragon Balls?’” All of us stared at ‘Luna’ who I remember seeing torn in half. A thought popped in my head, and I sighed. “Seriously Chrysalis? You do realize Luna was ripped in half, right?” ‘Luna’s’ face turned to one of panick. “What are you talking about? Of course I’m Luna.” I walked up to her, and made to punch her, but stopped at the last second, as she started screaming for mercy. “Oh, you got me, I’m Chrysalis! I just barely escaped my jail in time to survive the blasts that took down the entire city! But please don’t kill me! I have a kingdom to run!” I looked to the two others. “What do we do now? I’m not summoning the dragon while she’s here.” “Let me handle this.” my associate said. He grabbed Chrysalis, vanished into confetti, and then reappeared a moment later. “I hope that you don’t mind your prisoner returning home.” he said to Celestia. Celestia sighed. “I’m too tired to deal with her anymore. Just summon the thing.” I smiled, and put each Dragon Ball on the ground, before taking a step back, and holding my hand to the sky. “Eternal Dragon! I summon you! Hear my call and come to us to grant our wishes!” It took a second, but the light from the balls got more intense, before they burst into a big light, they flew into the sky, and started to take shape, as it formed a serpentine dragon. The only difference in appearance it had from Shenron, was that it was a pony dragon. “I am the Eternal Dragon Shenron. I will grant you three wishes, so choose wisely!” “Three wishes?!” I yelled. “For our first wish! I wish for all of those who died in the battle at Canterlot and who died at the hands of Frieza to be revived!” “Wish granted.” The dragon’s eyes glowed bright red, as bright lights shined throughout all of Canterlot, as ponies started getting up, no longer dead or injured. They quickly started freaking out, hugging others, or just bursting out crying. Surprisingly, no one noticed the Eternal Dragon. I turned to Jacob. “You wish for something nice.” “I wish for… um… excellent luck.” “Wish granted.” The dragon’s eyes glowed red again, and a bright light shined around Jacob, before blasting upwards. This lasted for a minute, before fading. “How do you feel?” Jacob looked down and found a small trail of candy. “I feel great.” He then followed the trail to three things that should have been noticed earlier.  The first was a bomb bomb fruit, the second was an flame flame fruit, and the third was King Yemma’s tree.  “I am going to have a lot of fun with this.” He then stumbled on the ground and found a two and a half foot long, beautiful, adamantium, katana with the name, Tatsumaki, written on it. “I was a fucking genius with this.” he held up the bomb bomb fruit and said, “Do you want this?” I shrugged. “Sure. What is it?” “This is known as a bomb bomb fruit, while it does take away the user’s ability to swim, It will allow you to turn any part of your body into a bomb.  Boogers, saliva, piss, you name it.” said Jacob while inspecting the katana. “Wait, that sounds like something that would require techniques. Do I need to have watched the source material for it to use it? Because I only remember DBZ techniques.” I asked. “Don’t worry about this fruit, last time I checked, you basically just need to fling said body part to cause an explosion.  I think that you could increase the power of your explosions if you wanted.” he said while putting the sword in a hammer space. I thought about it for a moment. “Nah, I’m too overpowered for this. Hey Celestia, take this and eat it. It’ll help protect your country and ponies.” I started walking over to Celestia, but it appears my luck wasn’t increased. “CAPTAIN!” I heard four voices call out, and was suddenly tackled from the back, making me stumble, drop the fruit on the ground, and fall down, slamming my face straight into the fruit. My teammates quickly got off of me, as I started shaking. I quickly got to my feet, and wiped all of the fruit I could off my face, trying to resist making a stupid face from the bitterness of the fruit that landed on my mouth. “You idiots! I was going to give that fruit to Celestia to have some back-up if we battle another strong enemy! Now the fruit is destroyed!” I pulled my fist back, and slammed it into a nearby pile of rubble, before it blew up. We all stared at the rocks, and I looked down at my hands. “Well crap.” “On the bright side, you will be able to not explode what you touch if you want to.” Jacob stated while munching on an apple. I sighed. “I just didn’t want to become even more overpowered. I already have a god form, and now I’m a living bomb.” “Are you going to make a wish or not?!” We all flinched, and looked up at Shenron, who was looking annoyed. “Crap, I forgot he was here.” I put my hand on my chin. “What to wish for? I know! I wish for… GAH! I don’t know which reference to wish for! I could wish for immortality, but then I’d be even more OP!” I thought about it for a minute. “Wait Ginyu, I have an Idea on how to get rid of the bomb, but you can’t be mad at me.” “What is it?” I asked. “Simple, I kill you by using something outside of DBZ logic, have the freshly regrown bomb bomb fruit in Celestia before reviving you.” “That might work. But only problem is that I doubt I’d kill easily, even if I want to.” Jacob nodded and thrust his arm back, turning it transparent, then stuck his arm in my chest, phased out while holding my purple heart. “I wonder if I should be quoting Shakespeare?  Oh tragic Ginyu, the dumbass who thought that I couldn’t do it. Rest in peace my brother from another species.” “Um… am I supposed to being feeling like this? I mean I am an alien species, make sense that I’d have a different biology, but I don’t feel like I’m…” I fell to the ground, writhing in pain, as Recoome removed his hand from my body. “MY SQUEEDILY SPOOCH!” I screamed, before dying. The bomb bomb fruit grew out of the ground.  I handed it to Celestia.  “Make sure that Ginyu doesn’t eat this again.” I turned to the dragon and said, “Shenron! I wish for Ginyu to be brought back to life!” “Wish Granted.” The Dragon’s eyes glowed red, as a bright light glowed around Ginyu’s dead body. The Dragon disappeared into the Dragon Balls, which flew into the air, before flinging off into different directions. “I’m alive!” I yelled, as my armor regenerated from the hole Recoome made. “Now, Celestia! Eat that fruit before something bad happens!” “TIA!” A familiar voice yelled, as it tackled Celestia from behind, causing her to lose grip on the devil fruit, sending it flying my direction, which had it impact my face, and a bit to get in my mouth. “DARN IT!” I screamed, as I felt the bitter food go down my throat. Everyone else stared in shock at what just happened. “Not again!” yelled Jacob. “I knew I should have wished for my hoagie. But no, we had to do your idea!” I yelled, before punching another rock, blowing it up. “What do we do now?!” “I guess that you try not to swim.” said Jacob before offering an apple.  “They help calm you down.” I grabbed the apple, and took a bite of it. “I KNEW IT! IT TASTES LIKE PEACHES!” I yelled, finding out my beliefs were true. “Uhh, cap?  What is this wanker that tried to kill you?” asked Jeice. “Umm… I think his name’s Iron Patriot.” I joked. “You know what, because I am in a good mood, I’ll let that slide.  However, for future reference, the name is Jacob.  You might come to know me as a businessman, a genius, a doctor, a teacher, a fighter, a scientist, a logic defier, and a badass.  Any questions?” “So, you’re Da Vinci? I thought you were Iron man?” Recoome asked. “I am Iron Man, I just have Da Vinci esque qualities, despite not being Italian.” “What in the name of Faust did I miss?” Luna asked. “Everything.” I responded. “We revived you using the Dragon Balls.” “What are the Dragon Balls?” Pinkie asked, as she unzipped her costume, revealing that Jacob was never really there, and the entire time it was Pinkie. “Where in the bloody hell did Jacob go?” Jeice asked. Meanwhile with Mister Popo “Let’s go over the pecking order.” said Mr. Popo. “There is you, the dirt, the worms living inside the dirt, Popo’s stool, kami, then Popo.” “I gotta ask you something Popo. If you are so high and mighty, then why is it that when any threat comes your way, either you or Kami get someone else to do it.” Jacob asked. Mr. Popo paused for a bit. “Bitch, you better take back what you said to me or I will skull fuck you harder than that Jinks bitch.” “Plus, Mr. Popo did help when Garlic Jr. showed up.” I said to Jacob, as I teleported to the top of the Lookout. “I take it back. Ginyu, let’s get out of here!” said Jacob quickly before teleporting away. I took one look at Mr. Popo, and quickly jumped off the Lookout. “Wait for me!” I teleported right before I hit the ground. Back at Canterlot         “So, you ready to go home now?” I asked.         “Yeah, I think that I should go before Popo finds me.  Plus the board members are gonna be pissed.” Then Jacob snapped his fingers. “I almost forgot.”  He gave each Ginyu force member a gear and said, “If you need me for anything, be it a chat, party, battle, whatever, don’t hesitate to give me a call.” Jacob snapped his fingers to open said portal. “Well, at least they can’t fire me.”         “Or you know, we can time travel, so you didn’t miss anything.” I mentioned, handing him the Ginyu Force token. “By the way, here’s our token.”         “Thanks.” said Jacob.           “So, is that a yes on the time travel? Just so you know what it intails, I’d grab you, fly at several times light speed until we create a hole in time and space, and I’d fling you through to your world, creating that blur we saw when you first arrived.” We both flew up and flew around the world at light speed with the flame flame fruit and a few Yemma’s apple seeds in the hammer space along with the katanna. They quickly picked up more and more speed, until I spoke up.         “Alright! You ready! I’m going to open the portal to your world! Our contract is complete! Good luck and call us if you ever need anything!” I yelled, as the hole opened up in time and space, and I flung Jacob into his portal.         “Live long and prosper Ginyu.” he said as he did the hand sign before disappearing in a blurry flash. The second Jacob went through the portal, it closed, and I quickly flew off into space, trying not to disrupt the past. I waited in the upper atmosphere for a few hours, until we got to the point where I grabbed Jacob and flew around the world at light speed.         I landed on the ground, and cracked my neck. “Well, that was an interesting adventure.”         “So, about these Dragon Balls.” Celestia spoke up. “If evil finds all seven of them, they can get any wish they want granted?”         “Yes, but the Dragon Balls won’t work for an entire year. Right now, they are nothing but stones. In a year's time, they’ll change back, and when they do, we can find them all again. But we can’t overuse them, as they’ll get a lot of negative energy, and summon powerful bad guys.”         “Hey Cap?” Jeice asked. “Now that we’re done with everything, should we investigate what Surprise left behind for us?”         “I forgot about that.” I thought about it for a moment. “We’ll do that later, but right now, we need to help rebuild Canterlot.” > Epilogue; Surprise's Surprise > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "You sure this is the place?" Jeice asked, as we looked across the rocky wasteland. "Lots of rocks. This doesn't seem like the kind of place little Surprise would live in." "Well, from what my parents told me, Surprise and her husband moved here a really long time ago! Our family has lived here since then. Now let me show you the place I imagine Surprise kept her secret." Pinkie said, her usual smile on her face, but I could tell that there was some emotions missing from it. "Hey Pinkie, how you holding up?" I asked, worried for my friend. "Okie-dokie! I'm as fit as a fiddle!" She said, trying to hide her emotions. "Listen, Pinkie. You were shot through the heart by a death beam. You were dead for at least three, maybe four hours. That kind of thing changes a person." I spoke up, as we followed her through a small path cut between the rocks. "I'm as okay as I can be! In fact, I'm super duper okay!" She stopped walking, and burst into tears. "I was so worried! The last thing I remembered was Twilight and Jeice dying, and then a purple beam hurting my friends, before everything went dark! Then there was a bright light, before it flickered out, and all I saw was the world in ruins! There were all these strange creatures destroying everything, killing ponies! Everything was on fire!" "What kind of creatures were these?" I asked, patting her head, as I kneeled down. Pinkie sniffed. "Well, a few of them kinda reminded me of monkeys, as they had tails. They all looked like scary warriors. Then there was a big one who was at least twice as tall as everypony else! It had bright green hair and white eyes, and it kept on laughing, as it killed ponies! Then there was a bunch of creatures that looked like that Frieza monster. And a bunch of pink squishy-looking creatures, with 'm's on their clothes. And there were a few purple cats with weird clothes. They seemed to be the strongest, but in the very back, there was a shadow of a creature that seemed to be stronger than them all!" I froze in place, upon hearing this. 'Warrior monkeys? Saiyans most likely, but then that description of Broly. And some Frieza clan, along with the Majins. Then gods of destruction? But who could be the shadow? And why would they all be attacking the planet? Please don't be a premonition.' "You shouldn't worry about it. If this does happen, we'll protect you." I said with a smile, that made one return to Pinkie's face. Pinkie sniffed one last time, and stood up. "Now, let's get moving. I wanna know what Surprise left you!" She started walking forward, and I stood up and followed her. It didn't take long, to find a large boulder in our way. Pinkie stopped, and looked at it. I was about to ask what was wrong, when I noticed something on the rock. It was the Ginyu Force symbol. I walked forward, and put my hand on it, and suddenly, it glowed, before the sounds of gears was heard, and we turned, to see a small staircase open, leading down into the rock and the ground. I walked over to it, and looked at Pinkie. "Stay here. Could be dangerous." Pinkie was about to complain, but one look from me caused her to sit down. I looked to my friends, and gestured for them to follow me. We walked down the staircase, and kept on walking, until the walls started changing from rock, to metal. The same kind of metal we replicated from the remains of our pods from when we arrived in Equestria. We made several parts of our Everfree base out of the metal, but never could replicate this much. We eventually reached the bottom, which was too dark to see in. I reached along the wall for a light switch, and when I found one, I flicked it on, and I gasped at what was revealed. It was a Ginyu Force base. It seemed to be many times bigger than our Everfree one, and had all kinds of state of the art tech. "Hey Captain, check this out." Recoome spoke up, and I walked over, before grabbing the note he picked up, and reading it. Dear Ginyu Force, If you're reading this, then you found out about the secret base I built for you under the rock farm my husband and I purchased. I don't know how much time has passed between me writing this, and you reading it, but I'm sorry we never got to say our last goodbyes. I built this base for your eventual return, because I feel like something bad is on the horizon, and you'll need it. You'll most likely also need to increase your numbers, so you have a better chance of saving everyponyone. Sorry, I guess these ponies' habits are starting to get to me. But, this isn't the best part about the base. Please enter the room to your left, and check it out. Love, Surprise. I looked to my left, and noticed that there was a door to my left. I walked over to it, and the door opened by sliding into the wall. The light flickered on, and my jaw dropped to the ground. Sitting inside the room was an entire garden, easily as big as our entire base in the Everfree. But the amazing thing was what it was growing. Senzu beans. I grabbed the nearby note, and quickly read it. Dear Ginyu Force, I bet you thought that all Senzu beans were destroyed? Well, I actually took a few before they were, and while you guys were doing some training up on the Lookout, I learned from Korin on how to grow Senzu beans. I left written instructions on the desk in one of the nearby rooms. But that isn't the bestest of the bestest parts of this base. Please exit the room, and walk through the door under the Ginyu Force symbol. Love, Surprise. I quickly ran out of the room, and went through the door Surprise wrote about, to find myself in a room with five elevators. I gasped, recognizing the elevators, and I looked up, to see five attack pods, each with a Ginyu Force symbol on them. I picked up the next note. Dear Ginyu Force, Not done yet! The absolute bestest of the bestest of the bestest things is back in the main room, and hidden behind the Ginyu Force symbol painted on the right wall. Just put your hand on it, and enter the room. Love, Surprise. I pushed past my friends, who were still gaping at the attack pods, and ran over to the symbol mentioned, before putting my hand on it. It quickly glowed, before being pulled back into the wall. It then opened up a secret doorway, that the others and I entered, to see another dark room. The lights quickly flickered on, revealing a strange device, with five seats, and helmets above them, with wires attached to a machine in the middle. I picked up the next note. Dear Ginyu Force, This is the final surprise, I promise. I remember you telling me that when you first arrived in this world, that something happened to your memories, and you couldn't remember your name or most of your past life. So I decided to do something about that. This machine will allow you to restore your past memories. I don't think anyone as nice as you five should have to deal with the curse of not knowing your past. But this is my final note. I have a new family I have to take care of. I recently had a daughter, and even at a young age, she's already talented. She's been preforming techniques that you five taught me, like Instant Transmission, without tapping her forehead, and all kinds of other weird things. I guess this is it. I wish we could have seen each other again. Love, Surprise. I held tightly onto the note, as teardrops freely fell upon it. I eventually dropped it, as I leaned backwards, against the wall, unable to hold my tears back. Surprise just gave us the one thing no one has before. She gave us our memories back. We all walk out of our new base, smiles on our faces, as we talked about things we just remembered doing back as humans. When we exited, Pinkie shot up, and started asking questions. "What was it like?! Did Surprise leave you any notes? Maybe she made a hologram AI of herself, and can be with you again!" Pinkie asked. I quickly grabbed Pinkie, and squeezed her into a hug. "Your ancestor is the best person ever. She made a base for us, and gave us everything we thought we lost. We remember who we were in our past lifes. I can say that we have a bright future in front of us. That we can finally stop looking back, and start looking forward." I let go of Pinkie, and jumped on top of a rock and stared at the setting sun, as I started to cry about how weights were lifted from my shoulders. The other four joined me, and we all started crying, as we stared at the sunset.
