Chapter 1: (Prolouge Saga) The Journey Begins

View Online

Its been almost 7 years since the event of the child from another world, Syera had arrived in Equestria in what seemed to be a pod with advanced technology with the ability to travel the stars far and wide. Princess Celestia had held a meeting with other leaders of the land to discuss what to do with the technology found in the craft. However it did not seem to be the most concern among the leaders, it was Syera herself that had them chatting the most since they did not know whether or not she is could be a powerful Ally or a dangerous foe.

Princess Celestia had a big feeling that Syera wouldn't be, for as long as she is raised amongst ponies and grew up knowing their culture. But in time Celestia herself will tell her the truth about who she really is and where she came from. The meeting was shaky but it was a adjourned in the end.

As it stands now, Syera is a young 7 year old girl now, same with Twilight Sparkle her sister who is of the same age. While under the care of Twilight Velvet, Night Light and their older brother Shining Armor. The two were raised as sisters and both attend to the same school for young fillies and colts.

And that is "the school of Gifted Unicorns" even though Syera who wasn't a unicorn possessed a sort of magic potential inside her. little did the entire school knew that yes Syera is indeed gifted. But in reality her "magic" abilities were beyond their knowledge and archives on the subject.

What is Syera learning today however? find out now!

cue intro music ~ The Journey Begins

At the moment, Syera, Twilight and a their one friend Moondancer were discussing something in their science part of their class. An experiment to be exact on how to make a pure and proper salt lick substance, the three had a bit of an argument but it had some issues. But were resloved quickly.

"But according to this book, you're supposed to add the sodium chloride first." Twilight explained as she read the chapter on making said salt lick

"I thought it was potassium we add first" Syera said to Twilight as she was holding a couple of viles containing the necessary material in order to make the project. Good thing she was wearing some sort of protection on her hands and on her eyes so nothing dangerous splated in her face.

Her having hands actually made it easier for the three since she can apply the ingredients steadily while Twi and Moondancer read off the instructions

"That I believe comes next Syri" Twilight responding to Syera showing her in the book.

"Well I read ahead, and to make a proper salt lick, you need to add the molasses first." Moondancer explained as she read the book and showed Syera who was about to apply the molasses but stoped when Twilight responded to that statement.

"Well, I read ahead too, Moondancer, and I'm sure it said sodium chloride first." Twilight told in a retortable fashion to Moondancer.

"Oh. I've got the wrong book. That's so hilarious." Moondancer said in a dryily manner.

"I agree Moondancer, but I also agree with Twilight. Sodium Chloride is it then that goes in first." Syera said as the two unicorns began to read more and she applied the ingredients making their experiment successful.

As Syera was about to step away from the experiment and take notes on it, she saw that her other friend; Lemon Hearts had gotten her head stuck in a beaker while Minuette and Twinkleshine; more of her and Twilight's friends tried to help her but they ran all the way across the room messing around and playing.

"Hehehe" Syera giggles watching the sight in front of her but then gets back to work with the others. After class however Syera had to carefully get Lemon Hearts' head out of that beaker, Celestia knows how she even got it in there in the first place but she was alright in the end. Very thankful of Syera indeed as she offered to get it off, looks like their magic studies paid off in the end since she was able to slide it off with ease.

Later on that day school was let out and Twilight and Syera walked back home together.

"So, what did ya think of today Syri?" Twilight Said to her.

"I have to admit, it was funny seeing Lemon Hearts getting her head stuck in that beaker" The two share a giggle together.

"Yeah, but Im glad you were there to help, no pony is as strong as you are and able to pull off that beaker with ease and not hurting our friend in the process" Twilight Said with a smile.

"Hmm, that is true since I have hands and you ponies only have hooves. but I guess my "magic" doesn't work like yours does Twilight, I mean ever since that day you hatched Spike, everything changed, I was lucky to get in. but you, you got your cutie mark by passing your entry exam." Syera had been looking at her sister's cutie mark as she explained this for the moment

"Yeah, I did, But I'm surprised you didn't get yours when you showed how strong you were and how you demonstrated how you could make things warp and break around you, I'd say that counts as magic since you studied just as hard as me." Twilight was enthusiastic and joyfully praising her sister.

"Yeah, that is true. Maybe someday I may find my purpose and true talent, but Im not entirely sure I can get a Cutie mark like you ponies do. but oh well, such as life." she said with a smile to Twilight.

"I do have the passion to fight well, and Since mom let's me take Karate Training and lessons which I love, it helps ease my stress since I'm letting it all out doing that, but I'm not sure its my true talent to do by fighting for sport" Syera's tail wagging a bit in the air with excitement at the thought of fighting, as they walk back home. Already without being told, she had knew she were different and her passion for the things she enjoyed, such as fighting were growing. but she is shy to express it to others except Twilight, Shining Armor and their parents, even towards Celestia herself was a bit overwheing to her, but it was easier since she grew up with them in her life, so showing them her talents made her feel loved and welcome in the Sparkle family and most importantly, as a significant other in the family and as a citizen of Equestria.

"Hmm, yeah that is true and good that you don't hurt anypony instead. and oh, its gonna be a full moon tonight, wanna see it with me." Twilight had asked, since tonight was gonna be a huge full moon and they need to take notes on it for a class they have tomorrow on moon cycles.

"Sure Sis, I'd love to!" Syera said with a smile and the two hugged each other then headed home.

"Hey you two, how was school?" Twilight Velvet their mother asked as they came inside.

"It was great!" Twilight said.

"But funny as well, Lemon Hearts had gotten her head stuck in a beaker, it was so hilarious! but We all got her head unstuck" Syera said explaining to their mom.

"Oh my, that does sound funny when you put it, but good you got her head out of it" Velvet Chuckled a bit.

"Hey Mommy, is it ok if me and Syera go see the full moon tonight? it would really help us on this next assignment in class" Twilight said with a smile.

"Well, as long as you aren't out too late and if it helps with your education then I have no problem with it. you both can go" Velvet said with a smile to her two daughers.

"Yay!!!!" the two screamed in joy.

"Whoa, sounds like my two favorite sisters are very happy" A voice spoke behind the two, which belonged to Shining Armor, they're older brother.

"Shining Armor!" Syera and Twilight squeeled in happiness as they jumped in joy of seeing their big brother
They both hugged him, messed around a bit and he gave them both light noggies on their heads.

"Glad you're back Shining, could you watch your sisters while I go to the market, we need stuff for dinner tonight" their mother Velvet said as she grabed her saddle bags and was about to head out the door.

"No problem Ma, see you when you get back, I can't wait for dinner" Shining said with a smile as their mom left.

Later on once Shining watched his two sisters Twilight and Syera, the Sparkle Family all had dinner and enjoyed amongst themselves. laughter was shared as a few jokes and playful banter went across the table. Overall a good meal was cooked, Syera offered to do the dishes this time around and she did them quickly with ease.

Once nightfall arrived, the moon was shining bright in the sky, Syera told Twilight to go on ahead since she was reading up on another topic and had to complete some other homework. Twilight nodded to her in response as she left the house and had gone to the hilltop not far from the house on the edge of Canterlot, her telescope ready to examine the moon while she had a pen and notebook to take notes on the lunar surface and circumference estimates using a formula used to do so when it comes to examining any planet or moon off in the stars of space.

After Syera finished her other work, she then left home and made her way to go join her sister on the beautiful starry moonlit night.

"Hey Twilight!" Syera spoke outward to her sister walking up the hill with a smile and wave.

"Great! you made it just in time Syera" Twilight said but as the moon came into view, something odd happened for the first time.

"Mmm...." Syera looked up at the moon and she felt something take over herself.

"Whoa....Twilight....I feel....lightheaded....but the Moon....is so big and bright" Syera said as if she was in a trance of sorts but Twilight didn't hear her as she was adjusting the Telescope.

"Now that the Telescope is preped we can look through it, now Syera? you said.....something" Twilight asked as she turned around to see right before her eyes, Syera started... to change.

"Mmm....mmrrrrggrrrrahhhh!!" right before Twilight's eyes, Syera turned into a giant ape-like creature.

"S..Syera?! oh no......what is this?!" Twilight Screams as she witnesses this Transformation that is taking place for her sister.

Syera's roars were so loud it woke up all of Canterlot. all of a sudden she started going on a rampage and smashed a few houses in the outskirts and blew energy blasts from her mouth.

Twilight gasped as she saw what was happening in front of her. But at that moment she realized she had to do something to save her sister by stopping her rampage.

but before Syera could continue. Twilight got in the way of Syera.

"Wait! please stop Syera! you...can't.....do this...." she says crying and Syera bends down and sees her crying and she is growling lightly.

"Please don't....." a tear falls out of Twilight's eye and Syera catches the tear, she tastes it and starts making weird sounds at first, but then realizes its Twilight and comes back to her senses. she then turns back to normal before her eyes completely naked since her clothes were torn from the transformation.

"Twilight.....I'm sorry...." Syera spoken to her and passes out before Twilight.

"Oh no! please, Syera! wake up!" Twilight shakes her but nothing and she cries.

"Its ok young Twilight" A voice said to her and she looks up and sees none other than.

"Princess Celestia?!" Twilight says with shock.

"Please, don't take her! she didn't mean it!" Twilight pleads for her Sister's innocense.

"I know she didn't my star pupil, but you sparked something in her to make her stop, and that is an important lesson to learn young Twilight. and don't worry, I'll clean this up." She said and with a flash all the destroyed buildings were restored in a flash of light, luckly nopony was hurt as the guards investigated the area.

"Come now, its time for you two to get some rest" Celestia says teleporting them both into their bedroom they share in their house.

"Thank you Princess Celestia, I just hope that Syera is gonna be ok" Twilight says looking at her in the other bed in her pajamas that Celestia put on her before tucking her in bed.

"She is just fine in fact, all she needs is rest. and it will take some time for her to resist that form when a full moon comes around. but in time she will have." the Princess says before leaving and making sure nopony was hurt in the destruction caused by Syera.

"Goodnight Princess" Twilight says before falling asleep completely, the same with Syera.

"Goodnight my little Pony, and you too, my little Saiyan" Celestia says and then leaves into the night back to her castle.

Last time on Syera: The Equestrian Saiyan.

Lemon Hearts got her head stuck in a beaker. Syera transformed in a great-ape, and Twilight stopped her rampage with her tears. Now what is to come next? find out, now!

cue intro music ~ Aftermath/The Princess's Proposal

What happened last night for Syera was as clear as day. but to everypony else, it was new news and more gossip to talk about. And it was bound to have Syera catch a lot of hell for destroying those houses, but luckily not a single pony was harmed in her mini rampage.

Twilight was the one who calmed her down and stopped her rampage. Their folks found out what happened along with Shining Armor from Princess Celestia early the next day when Syera and Twilight went to school. But they didn't care, as long as Syera and Twilight were safe. And Twilight was the hero who stopped her sister calmly from destroying all of Canterlot over night.

Twilight and Syera were then headed to school as we speak.

"Syri? Are you....feeling ok?" Twilight said with a concerned tone.

With a sigh, Syera answered "No, I feel awful.....That...abomination I turned into made me destroy homes of other ponies and maybe even hurt them.....now I don't know if they'll....ever....except me...anymore" She said and then started to sob away.

"Hey Syri.....don't cry. Princess Celestia said you may have destroyed the homes, but no pony was hurt. and besides, me, our mom and dad, Shining Armor, Even Spike loves you for who you are. nothing will change that, and I'm sure in time everypony else will still except you for you" Twilight said giving her a shoulder to cry on as she hugged her and patted her back lightly.

"You...think so?" Syera asked

"I know so, never doubt it sis" Twilight said to her with a smile and hugged her more.

With a few sniffles, she stopped crying and regained her composure and confidence.

"Thank you...Twilight" Syera said.

"Anytime, were family. may not be related by blood, but by love and loyalty makes us Family" Twilight said with a smile.

"Now come, we don't wanna be late and be considered slackers" Twilight said to Syera.

While clearing her throat she answered, "Oh yeah! right, let's go!" and with that, they both ran to the school of Gifted unicorns and surprisingly, Syera won the race to the school.

"Wow.....you're fast on your two legs Syri, I'm surprised since you only have two and us ponies have 4 legs" Twilight said to her panting and surprised she could do that.

"Yeah, me too, I was surprised I could run that fast.....even with Gym class and the Karate lessons, I'd never think my stamina and endurance could be so high." Syera said as they walked in the school and headed to their classroom.

The day was going by just well till the Lunch hour kicked in.

Twilight and Syera were having their packed lunches they had from home.

They finished their meal a moment later but just as they were about to leave for their class, a group of 3 fillies decided to gang up on the two of them.

"Hmm? what do you 3 want?" Syera asked as they approached her and Twilight, but they only laughed.

"Oh nothing, thought we'd come over and buck with the monkey and her so called egghead sister!" the leader of the 3 bullies said with a laugh and her friends.

"What....did you say?!" Syera said with gripping her fist together and grinding her teeth with a frown on her face as they said that.

"Awh, look girls, its getting mad!" the second in the group said.

"I think we should fix that right now" The third said running up and bucked Syera right in the gut, but as she did something happened.

"Ngh! Ha!" With a shout it showed that Syera grabbed both of the bully's back hooves with her hands and then spun her around then threw her on her face and few feet away from her and her bully friends.

"Owwww!" The filly said while crying in pain a bit.

"Now we'll teach you a lesson for that." The one other said and the two decided to gang up on Syera while Twilight watched in awe of her sister's abilities.

"Come on then! bring it!" Syera said while putting on her fighting stance and dodged and block all their incoming frontal hoof stomps and rear bucking.

"Hold still so we can hit you!" The one bully complained then got one lucky shot by throwing her front left hoof in Syera's face.

"Syera! no!" Twilight said as she saw her sister's head jerk back.

But then, Syera just looked at the bully and smirked as it did nothing to her face. not even a scratch or bruise or a messed up mouth or nose. Completely unscathed.

"Hehe, is that the best you can do? alright my turn" Syera said and then did a one inch punch on the filly's muzzle making her fall on her back and hold her nose since it was bleeding and she was crying.

Syera then looked at the third bully and then said "you want some too?" with a serious tone and the third nodded no.

"Good, then take your friends to the nurse! it looks like they need something to help with the pain" Syera finished with and the three scattered off.

"Hehehe" Syera chuckled to herself as she saw them run off.

"Syri, that was amazing, I'm surprised one of them hit you squared in the face and you're not even bruised!"

Syera smiled "I guess I got lucky, or I'm just very strong in my head and body. all I know is I put the same amount of force into my punch as that filly did, but it made her nose bleed... I didn't want to hurt her but she left me no choice but to protect you when we were backed into a corner." The young Syera seemed kinda bummed at what she did, but Twilight just nuzzled her softly and spoke.

"Yeah it was a bit too much but hay, you stopped them from bullying us! they'll think twice I'm sure of it the next time!" Twilight was filled with enthusiasm in her words as she smile towards her sister.

"Still, I didn't enjoy hurting them, even though they were big meanies. I may like fighting and such but only to protect those I love, and that would include you Twily" Syera then smiled warmly and the two shared a hug.

"Thank you Syera, I'm glad to have you as a sister" Twilight spoke as they broke the embrace

"Me as well Twilight, me as well. oh darn, we should get back to class now!" Syera rushed as she had her satchel bag on her side, checking to see if she has all her parchements, ink and quills

"Oh right! I forgot! let's go!" Twilight doing the same as they rushed to their next classes of the day.

The two of them made it to class with enough time to spare, and for the rest of the day, it was smooth.

They walked home as usual but there was a surprise waiting for them as they walked in.

"Hello Twilight Sparkle, Hello Syera" Princess Celestia said to the two as they walked in.

"Princess?!" The two said and bowed.

"Hehe, No need for that little ones, now. I have an important opportunity for the both of you" Celestia said to the two of them and they both nodded and listened.

"How would you like to take private lessons with me after school everyday of the week, even weekends?" She said with a smile.

The two looked at each other and then back at Celestia then back at themselves and screamed out

"Yes! we'd love to Princess Celestia!" They said with a smile.

"Well its settled then, and don't worry, I spoke to your parents about this, and they're perfectly fine with it" Celestia then smiled and was led outside by the two.

"Now, directly after-school, you will come to the castle, I'll be expecting both of you to be ready." Celestia then took off back to the castle by flight.

"Can you believe it Syera! Official Private lessons with the Princess!" Twilight said with cheer and happiness

"I know! I was wondering when she would do it! ever since the day we both got into the School of gifted unicorns!" Syera said with the same feelings.

They both wondered what awaits them in their private studies and what they will learn through out the course of their life in school and after-school.

Last time of Syera: The Equestrian Saiyan!

Syera was dealing with the mental trauma of what she transformed into, destroying parts of Canterlot but saved and stopped by her sister Twilight Sparkle.

Now that this has happened, Princess Celestia has taken into effect a way for Syera and Twilight Sparkle's destiny to start by giving them special lessons and training throughout their course of time.

What awaits them in Canterlot Castle that Celestia has in mind for them. find out, Today.

Cue music intro ~ An Opportunity of a Lifetime

It was at the end of the day of school for Syera and Twilight.

Now they are off to Canterlot Castle for the special private lessons from the Princess herself.

"I wonder what were gonna learn about on our first day?" Syera said walking with Twilight.

"Oh I bet its going to be a very big test or exam or something! I'm just so excited to know what!" Twilight said as they were nearing the castle.

They both looked at how big the place is with all the special decor and spires spanning the city. all of which is just one castle on the cliff edge in the middle of Equestria.

"Well, here goes nothing, ready?" Syera said to Twilight.

"Ready" Twilight said back.

As they approached the guards looking at them seemed to know who they are and moved out of their way and the front gate to the castle opened.

"Head up to the stairs straight ahead, the princess is waiting for you both" One of the guards said to the two.

They nodded yes and headed on forward.

When they headed up the stairs, the doors opened for them and there, they saw the princess up at the top of the main staircase looking down on them.

"Twilight Sparkle, Syera. good to see you, and you're both just in time. as I would to expect from you none the less" Celestia with her angelic voice smiled as he eyes laid on the young Saiyan and Unicorn.

"Are you kidding, me and Syera would never miss an oppotunity like this, ever!" Twilight gracefully smiled.

"Yes Princess, I'd never want to miss out on special training. espicially from you!" Syera crossed her arms with a big smile adorning her face too.

"Good, now follow me young ones, there is much to discuss. espicially from you Syera" Celestia stated as the two young ones followed her throughout the halls.

"Me? what do you mean Princess?" Syera said with interest.

"I say you because not only will you be working on mastering your abilities, but understanding who you are and what you are, and what your destiny is." Celestia informed then paused.

"Destiny?" Syera asked with courage and bravery then retorted with "I just wanna kick some- " though before she could say anymore, Princess Celestia had told her.

"There will be plenty of time and opportunities for that I assure you. But for this time. I will teaching you various skills and techniques, but its your job to learn how to use them in your journey ahead." With confidence in her words as Celestia looked back at Syera

"I will do my best Princess, you can count on it" Syera put her arms to her sides with Confidence.

"I will do just as hard as well Princess" Twilight added as she stood by her Saiyan sister's side with the same amount of confidence.

"Good, now Syera, you remember what happened 2 nights ago when you transformed into that giant creature during the full moon?" Celestia asked to refresh her memory.

Syera then looked down sadden by what she did when she did become that creature.

"Yes....I do, and I never want to do that again...." Syera told with a clear discouraged tone in her voice as her tail moved freely up and down.

"Its ok because it is not your fault, Its just part of who you are, and where you come from." Celestia said.

"Really?" She asked, and a small nod came from the Princess as she looked down at her. "Then.... where do I come from?" Syera asked with interest.

"You are known as a Saiyan, science name, Sionis-saipenious. you are part of a race of primative creatures that originates from the planet Vegeta. They are also known for their thrills of battle." Celestia said to her, shocking her and Twilight.

"A Saiyan....so, I was right, I knew I was always different, and I can see clearly why I get this feeling each time I'm at Karate training... I enjoy the thrill of the action and... yes... fighting" Syera put her arms to her sides as she had her lower arms and her hands extended forward while her fists were balled up as she told outloud with a smile accepting who she is. As well asa why she does the things she does.

"Yes, but there is more. I know this because I've seen and known one individual from your race, that one Saiyan I knew was your father when he crashed down on this world from the depths of space many moons ago in a ship similar to yours when you arrived here." Celestia paused for a moment as she remembered the event.

"I greeted him and made peaceful arrangements, even though his orders were to destroy and lay waste to this world and sell it to the highest bidder. But I knew your father was different and had a heart for peace. I remember he talked about you a little when you were merely an infant, never really trusted his fellow comrades or his supperiors he and his race were working for. And he did not want you to be part of that when you grew up." Celestia's story about Syera's father visiting this planet made her wonder just how, much of a good individual her father was, but what peaked Syera's most interest was this;

"Who was my Father and the other saiyans working for?" She asked, this turned Celestia's small smile into a small frown to form across her face and she closed her eyes as she then told the Young Saiyan.

"An evil Tyrant known as Frieza, who was nothing but pure malice and killed and slaughtered many of innocents." Celestia Paused. "Years ago he and his army attacked here, but we as a species were able to push him away and stand our ground, but I fear he may return and I may not be powerful enough to stop him." Celestia then paused not to look forward to such a possibility.

"But I am getting side tracked, now about your Father, he sent a letter to me. this was about him and your mother sending you here to escape since Frieza was now threatening to eradicate the Saiyan race... I do not know if he did or if the some of the Saiyans are still alive, so for your sake Syera, I am sure you aren't the only one left alive." Celestia then used her magic to summon the letter Syera's parents wrote. "This is it, It arrived shortly before your arrival here in Equestrian. Please, take your time to read over it."

Syera took the old worn letter in hand and read over the possible final words of her parents "Oh my......My father and mother really did send me here to protect me.....I can't believe it." Syera was nowshedding a few tears as she read the letter.

"I'm sorry Syera, but to let you know from the letter itself, they both loved you with all their heart, though with luck, I hope they will eventually find themselves here and find you." Celestia said patting her back.

"That gives... that gives me hope Princess, I thank you." Syera had been wiping away the few tears that shedded from her eyes as she thanked the Princess before her.

"You are absolutely welcome my young warrior, I am glad this shed some light of who you are, where you are from and why you are here." Celestia put a wing on the Saiyan's shoulder smiling.

"I think I'm starting to understand why they did what they did." She said as she closed the letter, a fist balled up in front of her. "To carry on, and become not a warrior for hire under some tyrant, but to serve with honor and protect my home, this place as my new home.

"I can only assume that's what they wanted Syera, but its your choice to make it happen." Celestia said with a smile.

Syera nodded in agreement and had a look of confidence, the same with Twilight.

"I hope that your destiny and mine will coencide Syera" Twilight said to her sister.

"I think it will, but like Celestia said, its all up to me and if you are apart of it, so be it. I wouldn't have it any other way Twilight." Syera said to her sister with a smile, the two shared a quick hug then looked at the Princess.

"Ok you two, I have something for you both that will help you both on your journey ahead." Celestia said to them

"Really? what is it Princess?" Twilight said out of curiousity.

"Follow me, and you will see" Celestia said to her and started to walk. The young Saiyan and Unicorn followed behind their Princess/Teacher closly as she led them through corridor after corridor.

Eventually they were then led by the Princess into a long hall with various arts and mantles across the glass windows of the castle walls.

"Whoa.....what are those?" Syera said with extreme curiousity as she looked at the different mantles. showing art of what depicted the heros of Equestria throughout the span of time.

"They are mantles that depict the heroic acts of those who passed away throughout the years of Equestria, brave ponies who are always remembered through these." Celestia said to the young Saiyan.

"Whoa.....do you think I'd be included to have one of my own mantles on one of these castle windows Princess?" Syera asked with curiousity.

"Most likely, if you commend a brave act for Equestria and her people." Celestia said to her.

"Oh I hope, I hope indeed..." Syera said as wondered what she could do for Equestria and her people as she looked around a bit more but as they were near the end of the hall, which was a sealed door, which turned out to be a vault.

Celestia then put her horn into a slot and when she held it there in place for a few seconds, the vault door glowed a bright gold like the sun itself and opened in a bright light.

"Cool flash! Do that again!" Syera smiled big as she was amazed by how the magic around the door glowed so beautifully.

Celestia chuckled to herself then answered "maybe another time my little Saiyan, but now, there is something here for the both of you."

The three of them entered the vault and inside one of the sections of it as they walked upon it contained three items.

The first of these items was a large book depicted with the emblems of the two royal sisters.

The second turned out to be an outfit of sorts. It was a Gi of sorts bearing the colors of Orange and Dark Blue. it was looked like it was for a full sized adult shaped and designed for someone of Syera's race. it had boots as well along with a pair of gloves, the belt was a lighter shade of blue. but as Syera approached it and reached her hand for it. And at that very moment she did, it suddenly changed to her size.

"Whoa! how did it do that?" She said amazed by what the outfit did when she touched it.

"That Gi has magic properties Syera that will protect you from almost any kind of harm up to a certain limit so do not rely on it too much for protection. It was originally for your father but since he never claimed it, he wished me to give it to you when you were ready. Plus as you can see, it adapts to the size of the user, so it will change as you grow older" Celestia explained as she waited to see how the young warrior looked dressed up in her father's outfit.

Syera then tried on the Gi, first taking off her current clothes, folding them neatly to the side.

Then putting it on, first was the pants, the orange undershirt then the dark blue over shirt then applying the light blue bandbelt. Lastly the boots and then the gloves.

Once on, she could feel how it felt, It fit her well, almost like she had it her entire life.

"Oh wow, Syera, you look amazing, it fits you so well!" Twilight said looking at her sister all dressed up.

"It does, it really fits me like a glove, and its very flexable and full of mobility I will admit. Its not restricting me at all!" Syera stated then threw a few kick and punches in the air really quickly.

"I think I'm setting new records! awesome!" She said with excitement.

"It looks like it young saiyan. but there is much more to learn, not only will you be taking lessons in Karate, but I will show you what I've learned over my years." Celestia says to her, making her even more excited.

"Yeah! alright!" Syera said.

"I can't wait to learn more as well Princess" Twilight stated to the princess.

"There will be plenty of knowledge to learn my young ones, and I will make sure you enjoy all of it." Princess Celestia stated.

And with that all said and done, the two sisters began their private lessons and training. They've learned from Magic histories, to new spell tomes and other things in books that no one else has ever remember but only forgotten in time.

12 years of training and book reading later

Twilight learned so much over the years, such as becoming a teacher herself. her one job was to teach Spike, her dragon friend to be her number one assistant in her studies. She has proven she can do it since Spike became more than augmented for the task, he also helped her test out various spells and techniques.

Syera learned different Meditation Skills, along with different offensive magic and spells. along with concentrating her energy or as Celestia called it "Ki" and using it to its maximum potential. And it grew more and more along with her strength and stamina and speed as she trained and pushed herself to almost near death more than once. Even Celestia was surprised that she could handle all of the tasks she assigned her. Such as delivering items to dangerous places in Equestria, to confronting with enemies of Equestria from Celestia herself. But it paid off since she has become 100 times stronger than what she was at her young age.

This continued more and more till they were out of school; over the past 12 years back to back, non-stop. the whole nine yards. but in all one moment, it all stopped so suddenly

Almost as if Celestia had plans for her prized student Twilight and strong warrior Syera.

"You two have been working amazingly great, you make prowd to be your teacher. But now I think its time you two took a well deserved break. you both earned it equally well."

"Thanks Princess, for everything. I hope when we come back, we'll learn even more, otherwise I'll continue to train hard when I can." Syera said, now a 19 year old young woman.

"I will continue to study and train my mind as well Princess, you can count on it." Twilight said, the same age as her sister Syera.

With all said and done, they left the castle for the last time till they are called back to do more. if that is going to happen that is.

"Hey Syri, I'm gonna go into the park and read for a bit, I'll see you later" Twilight said to Syera.

"Ok, see ya later then Twily" They each said their goodbyes to each other.

Syera, learned how to fly as well in her training thanks to Celestia teaching her how to fly since it was said that it is possible. Just the right amount of training did the trick, now she flys like she has done it all her life.

Syera flew to a spire that held a library and study. She came in to see Spike, Twilight's Assistant organizing the books and such.

"Hey Spike!" Syera greeted him as she made her descent.

"Hey Syera. How'd it go today?" Spike asked her on the meeting with the Princess.

"Oh, it was good. but it turns out that we're on a long deserved break, it seems odd that now of all times, I feel like something is coming, I just don't know." Syera told crossing her arms on the subject.

"Oh that's great, but that does seem odd that the Princess would offer you two such a hiatus. anyway, I have your clothes ready when you get out of the shower, I'm betting your tired." Spike told after hearing

"Yeah I can use a bit of a nap after a shower I guess. thanks Spike, much appreciated" Syera told as she started to make her way towards the bathroom in the spire study. she had took a well good shower washing all the sweat off her body. When she came out. she dressed up in her freshly cleaned Gi that Spike had ready for her. she also put on her new earrings that she got from her Mother for her 17th birthday.

"Hmm...Much better" She said patting her head since her hair was still a bit wet. but once it dryed, it was back to its natural spiky-ness, she also had two front bangs that usually hung in her face, though one was a bit longer than the other.

"Hmm...phew" She blew the two bangs out her face which was a habit she did for a while since she was a teen.

"Hey Syera, wanna help me wrap up this gift for Moondancer?" Spike said to her.

"Sure, oh wow. she'll definitely love this." Syera said, it was a picture of all of them.

Syera, Twilight and Moondancer were reading a books in the background while Minuette, Lemon Hearts, Twinkleshine, Lyra Heartstrings and Spike were all smiling at the camera.

When Syera saw this, it made her feel how lucky she was to be excepted and have friends such as these. and to have a sister and brother like Twilight and Spike.

"Alright, nice and wrapped. I'm gonna go snooze Spike, wake me if something crazy happens. Like if Twilight has some sort crisis that needs to be addressed. But most importantly for Moondancer's party and when were leaving" Syera told waving as she walked towards one of the beds in the bedroom area.

"No problem Syera, enjoy your nap." Spike told as he gave the finishing touches on a few other gifts for Moondancer's party later on today.

Before Syera layed in bed, she had looked out on the view from the spire, out in the world of Equestria, she felt something was coming over the horizon, or better yet, the night to come.

What will it be? Only time would show it to her, she just had to be patient for the moment. She flopped on her bed with ease and spread out getting comfy and closed her eyes.

Only to be awoken sometimes shortly later by Twilight busting down the door calling for Spike.

What has her in such a panic this time?

Find out next time!

Last Time on Syera: The Equestrian Saiyan!

Syera and Twilight Sparkle have begun their long training and lessons with the princess.

It pushed Twilight's magic skill to the limit of her virtually passing out cold for a day or two. But when she got back up, she pushed herself more and more till she mastered it.

Same goes with Syera, she pushed herself in her training that it nearly killed her or fatally injured her. But her Recovery was very remarkable and she came back even stronger and ready for the task at hand.

But one thing that is odd that all of a sudden this training and private lessons suddenly stopped.

Princess Celestia has given Twilight and Syera a well given break. but it was odd, maybe this is another task that has been given to the young Saiyan and Unicorn. or is it really for something coming soon to Equestria?

Find out, now!

cue intro music ~ A Friendship is Born Part 1/The Legendary Warrior Awakens:

*Syera's POV*:

It was odd, I never seen any of this coming to me or Twilight.

The Princess given us a break right when were pushing ourselves to our breaking point!

I feel so much stronger than what I did feel before, almost like there is something deep inside my heart that wants to be released in a fiery blaze. But I don't know how to release it.

I can't describe it. but since I can't, My train of thought was lost when Twilight busted through the door calling for Spike.

But little she didn't know she hit the little dragon on the ground when she busted the doors in.

"Spike!? Spiiiike!? Spike?" She looked down and saw him on the ground with one of the gifts he was going to give to Moondancer.

"Oh there you are, come on. we got work to do, and wait what's that?" She asked him as he was coming up the stairs with the gift box still on his tail.

"Well, it was a gift for Moondancer" he says pulling it off his tail.

"Oh Spike, you know we don't have time for this sort of thing!" Twilight seemed agitated about something, but what exactly was the question.

"But Syera told me were on a break." Spike said a little confused.

"Alright, What's all this ruckus about Twilight?" I asked her wondering what was going on, its like she had seen a ghost.

"There's no time to explain, I need to find the old copy of Predictions and Prophecies" She requested as her horn glew with a magic aura and levitated a few books in front of her. Looking at each one's cover to see if she can find what she is looking.

"Umm....alright, I guess I'll help look for it since it seems very urgent." I said sighing a little, I guess this is one of the reasons we're on a break. Since Twilight doesn't get the term of R&R.

We soon made a serious mad search for this book, however Twilight was very impatient on finding it.

"No, no, no......No, No, No! ngh....Syera, Spike!" She said grunting in annoyance raising her voice a bit at me and Spike to hurry to find the book.

"OK! Sheesh, were looking as fast as we can Twilight!" I told her. Now I was starting to get irritated myself due ti the fact I'm completely out of the loop of what's going on. Luckily soon enough, Spike found the book and told shouted over to her that he found it.

"Its over here!" Spike called out to Twilight waving the requested book in hand.

She then grasped it in her magical grip and pulled him off the latter making him hit his face on the floor.

"Ah!" She sighed after getting her graspthat book, and letting go the other books in the process, making a serious mess.

I walked over to Spike to help him up and pick up some of the books.

"You alright Spike?" I asked him and I helped him on his feet, he dust himself off afterwards.

"Yeah I'm alright, Its just Twilight. I haven't seen her this spazy since she forgot to study for a test Celestia had given her. Even though we went over the likely answers 5 or 6 times in a row." Spike said with a bit of a frustrated look.

I chuckled to myself while flying up and putting away most of the books back where they belong. "Yeah, she is acting very spastic all of sudden....however I am getting a feeling that we should listen to her for now." I told Spike, telling him we should hear her out. Whatever she needed that book for, it must be very important.

"Elements, Element, E, E, E. Aha! found it, Elements of Harmony. See: Mare in the Moon?" She said and for some reason I got the chills when she said that. Don't ask why because I have no idea myself.

"Mare in the Moon? but that's just an old ponies' tale right?" Spike said to Twilight.

"That's what I thought as well? what does the Mare in the Moon have to do with these Elements of Harmony you speak of?" I asked wondering the same thing as Spike and Twilight as I came back down from placing the books back on the shelf.

"Well, lets see." She said grabbing the book off the shelf that was about the Mare in the Moon.

"The Mare in the Moon, a myth from olden Pony times, says she was a powerful pony who wanted control of Equestria, defeated by the elements of Harmomy and imprisoned in the moon."

"Oh my.....that sounds like a pretty intensive punishment." I remarked at the very cruel and drastic way of punishing a pony.

"it continues, that legend has it on the longest day of the thousandth year, the Stars will aid in her escape!" She said with shock.

"Wait! the longest day of the thousandth year?! That's tomorrow, not good!" I said in shock and I pounded my fist in my palm real tense about what will happen. If what Twilight is reading is true, then Equestria is in danger.

"It also says that when she does come back, she will bring ever lasting eternal night. Spike, Syera do you know what this means!" Twilight said cringing at the thought.

"Yes, and I won't allow it! we have to stop her from bringing such a disaster to Equestria!" I said with a serious look and demenor.

"Right, we won't let her succeed, Spike! take a letter." Twilight said to the young dragon and was ready to write to her.

"Dear Princess Celestia, this is a fair warning in my current studies that has come to my attention, that we are all on the Precipice of Disaster!" Twilight said.

"Wait, preci....meh....." Spike said having a hard time spelling

".....Threshold?" Twilight said wondering.

"Threh....." Spike said.

"Umm...brink?" Twilight said getting more on edge herself.

"Hmmm....." Spike Just mumbled.

"Ah! that's something really bad's about to happen!" Twilight said and Spike just scribbled something down really quickly to explain the stiuation Twilight is explaining now in the letter.

"And that Mythical mare in the moon is indeed Nightmare Moon! and that she is going to return to Equestria and bring eternal night, I hope to hear from you immediately, Your Faithful Student, Twilight Sparkle."

"Twilight....Sparkle, Done!" Spike said holding it up in the air completed.

"Great, now send it." Twilight said with a firm smile.

"Wait, now? but were on a break, I don't know if she'll take it well or believe us, espicially with the coming Summer Sun Celebration and that is the day after tomorrow?" Spike said but Twilight got in his face and said.

"Spike, this could hold the key to stopping this prophecy from coming true and since the day after tomorrow is also the Thousandth year of the Summer Sun Celebration, its imperative she's informed now!" She said begging and accidentally pushed him on the ground.

"Alright already, sheesh" He said getting up then inhaling some air and breathing out a small flame of green fire and burning the letter and sending it.

"There, its sent, now we just have to wait." Spike said with a confident look.

"I just hope she will believe all of this, its all so sudden." I said wondering if Celestia'll take this serious or not.

"Oh don't worry Syera, I'm sure she'll listen to me, I'm one of her Star-Students" She said with a confident Smile.

"Yeah, so am I. But come on, even if what you say about this Nightmare Moon returning and all is true, you think she'll buy our warning?" I said shrugging my arms at her while looking out the Spire's main window of the Library area. I sure hope it isn't true, I'd hate Equestria to fall into Eternal Darkness.

"Hrmph! bahh!" Spike belched releasing a serious flame with a letter from the Princess herself. Now to find out her response to this claim Twilight has.

"Well, looks like she responded" I said seeing Spike Unfold it.

Spike Cleared his throat before speaking "Dear My most faithful Student Twilight, You know that I value your diligence and that I trust you completely. but you must simply stop reading those dusty old books!"

This sparked a gasp from Twilight.

"Well I suppose she took it far-fetched as well" I said to myself then there was a knock at our door. "Hmm? who could that be?" I said as I went downstairs, towards the door and opened it. When I did, there was a carrage with two Stallions from the royal guard. It looked as if they were ready to take us somewhere, but where?

"Well this is very sudden." Twilight said as she came downstairs to see me and the two guards with the carriage. This is when Spike told us what else is on the letter from the Princess.

"My dearest Twilight, you, Spike and Syera must go and oversee the final preparations for the Summer Sun Festival in this year's elected City, Ponyville." Spike told us, this made the royal guards nod in agreement to what he told us.

"Well, we better get going then." Twilight said with a sigh, probably wondering why Celestia ignored her warnings.

We all boarded the carrage and headed off to Ponyville, whatever there is for us to oversee. I crossed my arms and stood up on the carriage as we were off in the sky, I had a bad feeling about something I couldn't shake. The air flowing in my face and hair moving in the wind, my tail softly swaying the air, but I was cut from my train of thought when Spike said something else about the task the Princess had for us.

"And I have an even more essential task for you and Syera to complete; make some friends!" Spike finished reading the letter but made Twilight just give an annoyed sigh.

"Well, that can't be too hard since we already have friends back home" I said making sure I look ready by re-adjusting my gloves and make sure my boots are on firm and make sure my Gi is appropiate looking.

"Look on the bright side, The princess arranged us to stay in a library while we stay here. doesn't that make you happy Twilight?" Spike said trying to cheer her up

"Yes, yes it does, we'll check on the prepartions as quickly as possible and dig up more info on Nightmare Moon's Return." Twilight said with confidence.

"What about the whole "making friends" thing Celestia talked about Twily?" I said to her as we approached the town of Ponyville.

"There will be time for that after Nightmare Moon's dealt with." Twilight said as we stepped off the carriage as we arrived and landed in Ponyville.

"Thank you sirs" she said to the two stallions that brought us here and I had a look around.

"So this is Ponyville? The vibe I'm getting is pretty good, hope it stays that way while were here." I said with a smile as I took a look around, seeing the scenery around us. The ponies here seemed nice, it should be a piece of cake making some friends here.

"There'll be time to admire to town later Syera, we should get a move on to check on the preparations" Twilight told me, but Spike seemed pretty persistent about us or mostly Twilight to make friends with some of the ponies around here.

"Come Twilight, maybe the ponies here and Ponyville could help us out. please, give it a shot."

As soon as he said that, a Pink earth pony came up to us with a smile. but Twilight smiled a bit or tried to and said:

"Uh....Hello?" She said to the Pink Pony.

"Salute" I greeted the Pink Pony with a happy charm, but suddenly she gasped, hopping up in the air and took off at incredible speed.

"Well uh.....? That just happened, don't know why in the hell it did." I chuckled a little, but I could not see where she went. She was definitely fast, I'll give her that much.

"Huh, Odd indeed, but anywho....what's on the preparations list." Twilight asked Spike as she got a move on, however he seemed kinda discouraged. Oh well, better luck with somepony else I guess......

"The first thing on the list is to review the banquet prepartions, Sweet Apple Acres" Spike said as we soon approached a large farm, very colorful I may add if I did say so myself. It was on the outskirts of Ponyville but it wasn't too far to travel to by foot, or...hoof in Twilight's case. However, soon after we arrived, somepony got our attention with a loud yell of:

"Yee-haw!" We then saw the pony the hollar belonged to as we looked to our right and saw a Galloping orange mare with a stetson hat go towards a tree, bucking its base of the trunk knocking out every single apple out of the tree and doing so did a pose of honor. She had a cutie mark of three apples on her flanks, I'm guessing she is the one in charge here.

"That was impressive, such strength." I said amazed and excited to meet this mare with a country flare.

"Let's just get this over with" Twilight said with a small sigh as we approached the the mare.

"Good afternoon, My name is Twilight Sparkle." She said and the Country mare then shook her hoof really agressively.

"Well Howdy-doo Miss Twilight! A pleasure to make your Aquantance, I'm Applejack!"

"My name is Syera, nice to meet you Applejack." I said and she shook my hand with the same force as she shook Twilight's hoof. And wow, she had some amazing strength for a pony!

"Howdy-doo Miss Syera! pleasure to meet ya, we sure do like making new friends!"

"Friends, actually we....um" Twilight was cut off when she released us from her firm grasp which I had to move my wrist a bit trying to shack that feeling while Twilight's entire leg was still shaking in aftershock.

Spike laughed a bit after stopping her hoof.

"So what can ah do ya for you two?" Applejack said to us.

"We're here to supervise the food preparations for the Summer Sun Celebration, we're guessing you in charge of the grub this evening?" I asked politley.

"We sure sugar are, wanna sample some?" She told in response to my question, Twilight was about to answer but Applejack ran toward a triangle and shook it and shouted;

"Soup's on Everypony!"

With that said a who stampede of ponies came at us.

"Whoa!" I snatched up Twilght and Spike as I jumped out of the way and we happen to land near a table with a cloth on it.

"Now, lemme introduce ya'll to my family, the Apple Family" Applejack said as one pony after another place all sort of sweets on the table.

"This here's Apple Fritter, Apple Bumkin, Red Gala, Red Delicious Golden Delicious, Carmel Apple, Apple Strudel, Apple Tart, Baked Apples, Apple Brioche, Apple Cinnamon Crisp......" She took a breather in between. "Big Mcintosh, Apple Bloom and Granny Smith, Up'n'attem Granny Smith, we got Guests." She said while stuffing an apple into me and Twilight's mouth.

I ate it of course and it tasted very fresh, Im not sure if they have these kind of apples in Canterlot like this.

I spit out nothing but a core in my palm

Granny Smith got up with a snort and mumbled something that I couldn't understand at all.

"Well I'll say ya'll are already part if the family!" Applejack saying and causing Twilight to spit out bits and pieces of the apple in her mouth onto the ground and laughed nervously.

"Okay, well, I can see the food is taken care of. so we'll be on our way thank you." Twilight said but was stopped by Apple Bloom, the little one.

"But aren't ya gonna stay for brunch?" She said with a cute begging look.

"Im sorry but we got to much important work to do" Twilight said causing the entire Apple familiy to sigh in disappointment.

I gave Twilight a look that said "Come on, be nice and accept their offer" and motioned my head along with it.

"....Fine" Twilight said making all of the family cheer in joy.

We left Sweet Apple Acres with our stomachs full, really full.

"Looks like the food is done, check" Spike said with a smile.

"Yeah, I'm wondering if they were all surprised by how much I could eat?" I said since I don't know how I can eat so much, I guess it's a Saiyan thing.

"Ehh....I ate to much Pie...." Twilight said with her Stomach hanging low and full as she walked around.

"Ok, next on the list is the Weather, there should be a Rainbow Dash clearing the skies" Spike said looking up and around.

"Well she must not be doing a good job at it now is she?" Twilight said then all of a sudden she was tackled down by a blue pegasus pony, I assumed it was this Rainbow Dash into a puddle of muddy water.

"Eheh....oops, excuse me. wait hang on!" Rainbow Dash said while she went up in the air and grabbed a rain cloud and then bounced on it to clean her off but she was soaked now.

"Oh, sorry now you're soaked. here have this" She then went around Twilight with great speed causing a small hyper-tornado of sorts drying off Twilight.

"I call it hyper-dry, no no, don't thank me. it was my pleasure" Dash said boasting herself a bit but then tried to held back a laugh but couldn't since Twilight's mane was now a hot mess.

"Bwahahahaha!!" Dash laughed so hard she fell over on her back.

"Hahahahaha!" Spike joined her in the laugh.

"Hahaha!" I laughed a bit myself but controlled myself.

"Very funny, I'm guessing you're Rainbow Dash right?" Twilight asked and Rainbow Dash got up knocking Spike off her and stood proud.

"The one and only, you heard of me I assume." She responded.

"I heard you were supposed to be clearing the skies." Twilight Retorted.

"Yeah I'll get to that when I'm done Praticing" She said when she layed down a cloud above us.

Confused I asked her;

"Practicing for what? taking long naps on clouds?" I said to joke around. but she turned over and said a retort.

"Nope, the Wonderbolts! I was busy trying out a move I'm preparing for them so I can join up with them." She said with confidence.

"Please, why would they want a slacker like you who can't even clear the sky of a few measly clouds?" I crossed my arms. I hope this was enough to maybe aggrivate her to get this job done. And what do you know, it worked since she got right up close and hovered above me.

"Hey I can clear this sky in 10 seconds flat if I have to!" She retorted with a smug look.

"Prove it" still crossing my arms as I waited and she got up and kicked one cloud after the other with such speed, precision and agility.

She really was done in 10 seconds flat.

"See, Ten seconds flat!" Rainbow Dash boasted which amazed Twilight and Spike by a lot. I was surprised a bit myself as well.

"Hehe, hello? anyone home?" She said snapping Twilight back to her senses.

"That was pretty good Rainbow Dash, I'm surprised you could move so fast." I said complementing her on her work as the sun shined brightly.

"Thanks, what's your name and what are you? I never seen anything like you before" Dash asked as she examined me.

"The name's Syera, and I'm a Saiyan, nice to meet ya" I said shaking her hoof.

"Same, and good talking with you and Twilight Sparkle. I hope we'll hang out sometime as friends." Rainbow Dash said before taking off in a distance somewhere.

"I hope so as well" I said as I looked back at Twilight and Spike. "Ready to go?" I said to the two.

"Yes" Twilight said as Spike moved one of her poofed up parts of her hair bouncing it in his palm and snickering.

"Ok, next thing to check on is the decor" Spike said as we entered Ponyville's Town hall.

"Oh wow.....its beautiful." Spike said.

"Yes it is, the decor looks perfect, I think we got this checked off would you think?" Twilight stated as she looked at Spike.

"Not the Decor, her....." Spike said drooling to the sight of the Pony before us. a Elegent looking Unicorn who we presumed was Rarity, she's said to be the head of the decor and in charge.

"No, No....No, oh goodness no!Hmmm? oh yes this one will simply due!" She said bringing out another bowtie to tie around one of the posts of the building.

"How do I look? Are my spines straight?" Spike said drooling down his lip of this mare, I just chuckled and rolled my eyes a bit then got this mare's attention.

"Excuse me" I said but I was shushed by her.

"Just a moment Darling, I am in the zone, as it were now. now....hmm...here and there....and...done, Sparkle always does the trick, oh Rarity you are too much!" Rarity said as she complementing herself on her work then turned and looked at us.

"Now what could I help you...WHaHaHa!" She shrieked as looked at Twilight's mane.

"Oh by my stars darling, what ever happened to your coiffure?!" Rarity asked in shock, and I'm guessing coiffure means mane in some sort of langauge, maybe french or something.

"Oh my mane? its nothing really, Im just here to oversee the final preparations with my two friends here, so if you're doing it just fine, keep it up and we'll be out of your hair." Twilight said to her as were about to leave.

"Out of my hair?! what about your hair!?" Rarity said draging her off to somewhere.

Spike had a look of love since hearts were pumping out of him like a chimney, also he seemed to be flying with his tail spining in a spiral form.

"Heh, come on lover boy, you won't be able to keep up like that." I said to him and he seemed to speed up a little as I walked and followed Twilight and Rarity to a shop, which turned out to be a place called Carousel Boitque, owned and run by Rarity herself.

She fixed up Twilight's mane and such but then made her try on various dresses and fixed her hair to fit the dress as well.

"No, no, uh-uh. Too green. Too yellow. Too poofy. Not poofy enough. Too frilly. Too... shiny." Rarity kept rambling on and on with each dress and hair style she made Twilight wear, I felt bad for her at that moment.

"Now go on, my dear. You were telling me where you're from?" Rarity then asked pulling the strings on the corset dress tightly on her.

"I..was sent....from.....Canterlot...to~" Twilight said having the life squeezed out of her. but then Rarity let go and they both went flying in different directions.

"Ooo! Canterlot! Oh the sophistication and glamore and much more. I've only dreamed of living in the royal capital, I can't wait to hear all of it from you Twilight. Were gonna be the best of friends!" Rarity said then turned her eyes on me.

"And you there darling, you look like such a devine creature, and those clothes, they look to be made of some of the best materials around." It was then she looked at my ears and her eyes glittered. "Oh....those earings. I've never seen their style and beauty before, where did you get them?" Rarity asked with excitment and I answered politly back.

"Oh these were a gift for my 17th birthday, honestly couldn't tell you where they're from if you asked." I stated to the elegent unicorn with a nervous smile as she looked at me.

"Oh! you even have a tail too my dear? I didn't know you were such a mythical icon." Rarity said to me, which is surprising to think someone else knows about the legend of the monkey-man creature, Sun-Wukong.

"Ah....emeralds, not what I had in mind but it goes well instead of rubies, let me get you some darling" Rarity said while looking at Twilight's dress and going into another room to look for some emeralds. But before she was able to come back, Twilight made the move and ran saying.

"Quick! before she changes my coat to another color or something!" Twilight stated while getting the dress off and running out the store. I followed behind while grabbing Spike and running out.

"Ahh.....she was so beautiful" Spike said riding on Twilight's back with the list in his hand.

"Focus Casanova, what's next on the list?" Twilight asked him.

"Oh! music, its the last one" Spike said.

"Thank Celestia, I know we made friends but all this ruckus is horendous, wouldn't you agree" I exclaimed, but before Twilight could utter a response to it, we heard what sounded like multiple birds singing. so we poked our heads out a nearby bush to get a quick peak.

There was a yellow pegasus, I assumed was Fluttershy since she had her name on the list as the music cordinator.

The music sounded beautiful but then one of the birds got a bit cocky and freestyled chirped like none of the other birds.

"Oh...um hang on everyone, excuse Mister Blue jay, sorry but you seemed a tiny bit off note there. think you can get back on track with the others?" Fluttershy said to the blue jay and he seemed to agree and nodded.

"Ok, a 1, a 2, a 1 2 3" She said but before they got started it seems Twilight walked ahead and introduced herself, scaring the birds away.

"Hello?" Twilight said spooking the pegasus.

"I heard you were singing well with them so I assumed you were doing ok." Twilight said as the pegasus landed and patted her hoof on the ground nervous and shyly. Twilight then smiled awkwardly then decided to speak up.

"I'm Twilight Sparkle.......what's your name?" she asked with a kind smile.

"Um....my name is Fluttershy" Fluttershy mumbled her name as she talked.

"I'm sorry what was that?" Twilight asked unable to hear her.

"My name is..mmm..Fluttershy"

"Uh what now?"

"F-Fluttershy...." Shy said with a bit of a scared sound like she wasn't fond of speaking to anypony else.

The birds started to come back to where they were so they were calm with our pressence so me and Spike stepped out of the bush.

"Well, your birds are back so everything must be ok, keep at it" Twilight said only having Fluttershy reply with a squeak as she walked back to us.

"Well that was awkward" She said.

"Yeah that was" Spike added.

"She seemed pretty shy though if you ask me. Oh well, should we get going?" I said, but all of a sudden, the yellow Pegasus perked up, this caught my attention.

"Oh! a baby-dragon?!" Fluttershy shouted out a bit louder than what she usually does, or at least I'd think since she seems pretty docile. She rushed Twilight out of the way and almost forced me to lose balance and fall on my face since she knocked one of my legs from under myself.

"Hmm, well well" Spike said crossing his arms a bit.

"Oh he talks, oh that is so amazing and cute" Shy said complementing Spike a lot.

Twilight then put him on her back. "Well I think we should be going now"

"Oh I have some many questions, what is your name?" Fluttershy asked him.

"I'm Spike" He told her with a smile.

"Hi Spike, I'm Fluttershy" She smiled as she looked at him, then looking at me.

"And who are you? I never seen a creature like you before, and you even have an adorable monkey tail too! Oh my, I just now realized how tall you are as well." Fluttershy perked her head up to get a good look of my Saiyan figure and size, she seemed very interested in me besides just Spike.

"My name is Syera, and I'm a Saiyan." I said with a smile as we walked away from the area where Fluttershy was with her birds towards the library.

"Please, both of you tell me about yourselves" Fluttershy asked with a smile as she followed us to the Library, it was getting late since the sun was going down. However, before we got to the library as night was about to fall, I got that strange feeling again.....What was it? Either way I shook it off as me and Spike explained a brief story of our origins to Fluttershy.

"Well first, I started off as a little purple and green egg" Spike stated to her and so on.

"I was born on a distant planet named 'Vegeta' and was sent here as a baby, luckly I had some help when I arrived here in a small pod." I explained to Fluttershy as we walked, I then looked at Twilight with a bit of a shrug since we had no choice but to let Fluttershy tag along with us to the Library.

We talked to each other for a while all the way up to this point in time and we were already at our destination. It seemed Nightfall was soon to arrive since the sky was getting a light dark hue mixed with the orange sunset.

"It's been a pleasure to talk to you Fluttershy, but it seems we have to part ways for now." I said with a smile.

"I understand, I hope we can be great friends, you, Twilight and Spike." Fluttershy said softly with her timid smile. However at the mention of the word "friends" this made Twilight perk up and then speak up.

"Oh here already?! Wow, time sure goes by!" Twilight spoke loudly, she clearly wanted to get out of this conversation. I don't blame her for wanting to be left alone at the moment. We needed to continue our research on Nightmare Moon, and also find a way to defeat her if she is indeed real.

"And Spike needs his rest" She said as if he is a very young baby dragon.

"No I don't!" Spike retorted a little annoyed and she bucked him off making him land on his butt dazed.

"Oh see, he can't even keep his widdle balwance" She cooed to Spike.

"Oh poor dear, lets get him to bed" Fluttershy said getting him inside. It was then I came in after Twilight went inside after Fluttershy then kicked her out.

"Thanks but no thanks Fluttershy, Me and Syera have got him just fine by ourselves, so goodnight!" Twilight had shut the door in her face then walked towards me and Spike inside the darkened Library, now that I think about it, why is it so dark?

"Heh, rude much?" I asked and Spike nodded in agreement as I said that.

"Well sorry, just we've been so caught in making friends that I haven't had time to study and its even harder when the ponies in this town are crazy. now, where's the lightswitch, we need to get down to business." Twilight asked as I searched for it.

But before I could and as if on cue, the lights switched on and the Library was packed full of ponies that screamed out "Surprise!"

And boy was I surprised, I was too distracted by Twilight I didn't even sense these ponies, I got in a crane stance and everything since I wasn't expecting this!

Twilight then sighed in annoyance. I wondered how big this Library is, it didn't look so big on the outside. But then again, the place isn't exactly small either. Still I am very surprised to see this many of the town's ponies are able to fit in one library. A Library that is a hollowed out golden oak tree at that.

"Surprise! Hi I'm Pinkie Pie and I threw this amazing party for you and your Saiyan friend and Dragon! were you surprised?! huh, huh, huh?" The pony known as Pinkie Pie said, a hyper one I may add said to me, Twilight and Spike.

"Very, Library's are usually Quiet." Twilight said disliking this all at once.

"Well duh! that's why its a party! plus this is nothing like the time I went like gasp and ran off. But I mean come on, who can top that off?!" Pinkie said really excited like about this party when Twilight was pouring herself a drink.

"Oh trust me, I'm sure there are many things out there that would top off something better than that Pinkie Pie, I'm Syera by the way." I said introducing myself to the little pink pony.

"Oh I know! I heard about you, Twilight Sparkle and Spike from all the other ponies you've met! Also, since I know everypony in Ponyville! Plus now you three have five new friends! Doesn't that sound awesome!?" She asked me and Twilight as she as well as the ponies from before, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity and Fluttershy grouped up together in front of us, but before I could comment, I noticed Twilight all of a sudden choked on her drink she had gotten. Her cheeks flushed red and....fire coming out her ears with smoke? the hell was she drinking?

I picked up the bottle she poured into the glass? "Hotsause?" I asked and then Pinkie all of a sudden tipped it in my hands and hotsause poured all over a cupcake, which she gobbled up in one bite.

"Mmm.....its good!" Pinkie said with a full mouth.

"Ehehe~ Yeah... I bet it is" I said with a bit of a grossed out tone and nervous laugh. I then shifted my gaze and was now looking up to where Twilight stormed off to. Oh well, this is a party, might as well enjoy it.

I got a few cupcakes myself, minus the hotsause of course, onto a plate I grabbed at the one end of the table and had a small glass of punch. as I was enjoying that, some of the ponies wanted to dance with me, and so I did just that and showed them the moves I knew off memory.

One of them was standing on finger, doing a few acrobatic stunts then flipping my body onto myself over and on my feet then jumping up and carwheeling forward. Then to top it off with one last hop up in the air then slowly decend doward, almost if I were slowly sinking down and crossing my arms in a sitting position while in the air.

The second was me do a serious break-dance spin and they all cheered my name and such. but when Pinkie started to dance alongside me, she and I bumped heads by accident and youch! It hurt like hell froze over a lake of hard steel...

"Gahhhh!!!!" We both screamed holding our crowns groaning in pain as we layed there for a moment.

"Wow, what is your head made of Syera?!" Pinkie shrieked in pain with a soft giggle since it was kinda funny since when we did collide heads, it sounded like metal on metal clanging together. This caused Laughter from the other ponies.

"Nrg... I should ask you the same, damn that hurt!" I said giggling a bit too, trying to ignore the pain and shake it off.

"Well, good thing we both have a lot hair on our heads to protect us" Pinkie stated to me and I just nodded in agreement.

Spike went to go check on Twilight to make sure she was ok. I hope she was, she did drink hotsause after all by accident.

It was getting late and soon it turned into early morning and almost time for Celestia to rise the sun. the party wrapped up around 5:00am since it was that time to head to the town hall of Ponyville.

Spike got Twilight and we all headed to The place waiting for Celestia to do her thing and rise the sun.

"Isn't this exciting?! Are you excited?! because I'm excited, but not as much as the time I when I saw you three walk into town and I was like gasp, but really, who can top that?" Pinkie said to, Twilight and Me as well as Spike who is on the lavender unicorn's back relaxing.

I then noticed out of the corner of my eye that something happened to the moon, the markings of it.....disappeared? uh oh.....I'm getting that feeling again like I did in the Spire Study in Canterlot and when we came in front of the library before that surprised party Pinkie threw together.

"Fillies and gentlecolts, as mayor of Ponyville, it is my great pleasure to announce the beginning of the Summer Sun Celebration!" The Mayor Mare said to everypony in the room and they cheered loudly.

"In just a few moments, our town will witness the magic of the sunrise, and celebrate this, the longest day of the year! And now, it is my great honor to introduce to you the ruler of our land, the very pony who gives us the sun and the moon each and every day, the good, the wise, the bringer of harmony to all of Equestria..." She paused as Fluttershy got the birds ready and they started to sing

"…Princess Celestia!" Mayor mare shouted and the curtains on the top balcony were pulled back by Rarity.

"Huh?!" Rarity said confused since Celestia was no where to be seen.

"Everypony calm down, there must be a misunderstanding, standby" The mayor stated.

"Ooo! is it a guessing game?! maybe she's hiding." Pinkie said

"She's gone!" Rarity said with shock.

"Not good." i said to Twilight and Spike.

"Really not good now" Twilight said.

"Ooo...she's good" Pinkie Stated.

All of a sudden all the Ponies gasp as a figure is manifesting on the balcony above.

"Oh no.....Nightmare Moon!" Both me and Twilight stated and I readied myself.

"Oh my beloved subjects, its been far too long since I've seen your sun-loving faces" Nightmare moon hissed as she spoke out to all of us.

"What in the hay did you do to our Princess!?" Rainbow said and was about to charge her but Applejack grabbed her tail and stopped her.

"Whoa, nelly...." Applejack said while gripping Rainbow's tail in her mouth.

"What? am I not royal enough to rule over you all? don't you know who I am?" she said asking all around.

"Ooo! so its a guessing game. ok how about Evil mistress? um....Queen Meanie! or Mmmph!? Mmhmph!?" Pinkie was cut off due to Applejack stuffing a muffin in her mouth.

"Does my looks not ring a bell? have you forgotten the legend?!" She shouted out to us and was in Rarity's face.

"We haven't forgotten!" I shouted out to the evil ruler.

"Ah who or what are you?" Nightmare Moon said to me.

"My name is Syera! and I'm a Saiyan, Mare in the Moon, Nightmare Moon!" I said pointing directly at her and she gasped as well as everyone else as she looked at me.

"No....it can't be.....are you.....the Legendary one.....a Super Saiyan" She said and I had no idea what she mean't.

"Um.....Super what now?" I asked in utter confusion.

"Oh I see, Celestia didn't teach you that. but it won't matter! you wont get a chance to!" she laughed eviliy.

"What do you mean I won't get a chance, what did you do with her you monster?!" I said clenching my fists and glaring angry at her.

"Oh, don't worry, I just placed her in the prison she put me in, on the moon itself!" She told us, this sudden info shocked me and I looked up at the moon. But something inside me.....snapped.....I don't know what it was but I lost it and my mind went blank. Nightmare Moon then spoke once more, and it tipped the scales for me. "And with her out of the way, the night....will last....FOREVER! AHAHAHAHAHA!!"

*Twilight's POV*

"No....." I said in fear of this really happening, I failed.

"You.....evil....dark-dwelling....MONSTER!" Syera screamed and then I looked at her with shock. Something about her it was different, everypony in the room seemed to take notice of this as well.

Then the ground started to shake and also Lightining was streaking outside, it wasn't from Nightmare Moon and her magic.

"I.....won't let.....you.....get away with.....this! ngh!" Syera said and her hair....when she arched her head back a second it glowed in a flash of Gold.

Lighting even struck inside the building near her and everypony watched in awe, then it was if something had snapped and kicked into place in Syera at that moment.

"Ngh....grrr....AHHHHHHHHHH!!" with one final scream, Syera transformed, but it wasn't into that giant creature all those years ago, it was something else. but what? Her hair glowed bright Gold and was spiker than before and her eyes....were light sky blue as the daylight sky itself and an Aura of gold and electricity was surrounding her.

"Seize her! She knows where the princess is!" Mayor mare ordered the royal guards to do but their resistance was futile against Nightmare Moon.

*back to Syera's POV*

"Stand back you fools!" Nightmare said blowing the Guards back and away from her with her power.

"Ngh!" I rushed up and stood in her face and looked down at her.

"Ah?! you.....I don't believe you are a real one! you can't be! gah!" Nightmare Moon then screamed in pain as I grabbed her horn in my fist and gripped it painfully.

"I knew you were evil but now you're really got me ticked off... Taking my teacher and might as well be second mother to me away!" I said but it seemed Nightmare Moon just wanted to get free as she strugged to get out of my grasp. "You don't even care I can see it! All I can see is how you plan to rule the night forever as well as destroy me and anyone who testifies against your rule!" I then grit my teeth and said. "Well, for this! I'm gonna make you pay, Nightmare Moon!" I yelled at the dark Alicorn, gritting my teeth as I held her horn; Tightening the grip I had on her, this made her scream in a bit more pain.

However, all of a sudden I felt a connection spark in my mind, as if something was trying to talk to me.

"Super.....Saiyan! Please help me, free me from this body!" I heard a voice say as I looked forward and saw a small blue alicorn crying in a corner holding her hoof out to me.

"W...who are you?" I said to the figure reaching to me.

"Princess Luna, use the elements of harmony to free me from this prison, if you succeed. my sister will be free, I will be free of this evil magic and day will return to Equestria, now please! hurry!" She said screaming as she fell into an abyss of darkness which is Nightmare Moon.

I came back to my senses with Nightmare Moon still struggling with my grip of my hand, I let go and She jumped back, I was now getting ready to rush her, which is what I did.

"Hmpf! Haa!!! Take this! Yah!" I then glided towards her fast and decked her right in the jaw. This stunned her remotely as she flew backwards a bit, she then skidded to a halt and looked at me in anger.

"Nopony strikes me like that! This isn't over Super Saiyan!" Nightmare Moon said as she turned to mist and took off.

"Hey yo! What's the matter? You're the one who started all this!" I was about to chase her but I heard the call of my sister Twilight and remembered what we had to do to truly defeat her.

"Syera! we gotta go find the elements of Harmony!" Twilight shouted to me as I then jumped off the balcony in front of her.

"Yes, I know, let's head back to the Library to dig up more info on them." I said in agreement with her. Also it turns out that I am this Super Saiyan thing because wow, I never felt this much power before... Or did I... I can't rememeber, Anyway... back at the task at hand as I shook my head to clear my mind.

"Yes lets's, Wait how do you know?" She asked wondering how I found out.

"It was when I got a firm grasp on Nightmare Moon's horn. Princess Luna seemed to reach out to me, she is still in there inside her. So she concluded that to save her are the elements which are also the key to fixing all this." I said to her as we made our way to the library.

As Syera and Twilight Made their way to the library, they were on their first step on their quest to freeing Equestria.

And with Syera now awaked the fire inside of her unleashing the Super Saiyan powers.

Will they succeed or be lost in the eternal night forever?

cue intro music - A Friendship is Born Part 2/Save Equestria from Eternal Darkness!:

"We...we gotta stop Nightmare...." Spike said as we tucked him to sleep since he was exhausted.

"You done enough Spike, rest. after all, you are a baby dragon after all." Twilight said to Spike as he passed out snoring the roof off.

"Come on! where is it!" Syera shouted while looking through all the books from the top shelf and bottom floating in the air.

"I don't know! ahh! how are we gonna stop Nightmare Moon without the elements of harmony?!" Twilight said but then all of a sudden, a Blue Pegasus we knew from earlier came in.

"And just what are the elements of harmony!? And how do you know about Nightmare Moon?! are you a spy!?" Rainbow Dash said getting in Twilight's face.

"Wait, you got it all wrong here, We~" Syera was cut off as Dash got in her face next.

"And you! just what in the hay was that back there! your hair turned gold and the ground shoke. And lightning was streaking all around and such! Are you some sort of alien that can affect the weather around them or something, whoa!" Rainbow was yanked down by Applejack and the others came in as well.

"Simmer down Dash, I don't think Twilight is a Spy, but I do seem ta believe ya with the alien thing with Syera, but they both seem to know what's going on. don't ya?" Applejack said while Pinkie, Rarity, Fluttershy entered as well and listened.

Twilight sighed and then proceeded to explain.

"Me as well as Syera read about the predictions of Nightmare Moon, and knew she would show up on this exact date and time of the thousandth year of the Summer Sun Celebration." She said to them and I finished the rest.

"And that there are these things called the Elements of Harmony, and they're said to be the only thing that can defeat her, but we don't know where they are or how to find them?! and I'm not sure if my New powers is enough to do it" I said while Powering down from Super Saiyan since it did take a lot of energy, but I think I can control it.

"Elements of Harmony, a reference guide" Pinkie said and Twilight bum rushed out of the way.

"How'd you find it?!" She said with confusion.

"♪It was under E!♪" Pinkie Pie sung to us as she did a cartwheel across the ground.

"Of course, why didn't I think of that" Syera facepalming herself as she didn't check the order of the books and just rushed the shelves earlier.

"Ok, it says the elements of Harmony consist of five major attributes. Honesty, Kindness, Laughter, Generosity and Loyalty. It also states there are two elements that are unknown, but when the five elements are activated, the sixth element should appear and the trigger of the sixth should trigger the seventh" Twilight stated and what said next seemed to make the others jump.

"It says the Elements are currently held in the old ancient Castle of the Two Royal Sisters. which is now located in....."

"The EVERFREE FOREST!" all of them screamed as we were at the edge of the forest.

"Hmm....I can sense Nightmare Moon is in there somewhere along with other life signs." Syera spoke as she got a feel of all the raw energy within the forest itself.

"Wee! let's go!" Pinkie said as she hopped into the forest.

"Wait! I think its best if me and Syera do this alone" Twilight said.

"Sorry Sugarcube, but no way. even Syera said her new powers aren't enough to stop Nightmare Moon." Applejack stated.

"So like it or not Darling, were going too." Rarity stated walking it with the others.

"Yeah! I'd never leave a friend hanging, it will be a piece of cake! " Rainbow Dash said entering the Forest as well.

"Looks like we got real friends, great." Syera told smiling, crossing her arms and following them in the depths of these black and darken woods of Everfree.

"Especially since Dashie said there might be a piece of cake in there!" Pinkie stated and Syera as well as Twilight just gave her a confused look.

"What? Cake is awesome!" She said hopping in the forest.

Twilight sighed and followed onward, sticking close and hearing all of the commotion in the forest of animals and such.

"My, this place is just.....odd" Syera spoke out as she got a feel of the place. Looking around as the forest came to life at such a darken hour.

"I know, most folk stay away from here since they say it doesn't seem to work with the rest of Equestria" Applejack stated.

"And....what happened to the ponies who did come here?" Fluttershy said real frightened.

"No...pony...knows...." Dash said with a smirk creeping out of the shadows all monocle like.

"Rainbow Quit it" Applejack said as we neared a cliff edge, a long way down added on top of that. Syera could see the castle from there on the ridge so they we're indeed going the right direction.

"Why does...no pony know...." Pinkie asked hugging Fluttershy in fear.

"Because....those who came in here....have never.....RETURNED" As Rainbow said that, the ground beneath us crumbled into a rock slide with me, Dash and Flutters flying up.

"Twilight!" Syera shouted, rushing to her as Fluttershy got Pinkie and Rarity.

"Oh dear oh dear!" Fluttershy shrieked as she caught hold of Pinkie and Rainbow Dash caught Rarity.

"Ahh! no! no!" Twilight screamed out as she nearly fell off the cliff edge.

"Hold on! Imma coming" Applejack said while helping out Twilight.

"Applejack! what do I do?!" Twilight said in fear of falling.

Syera waved to AJ signaling she'll catch her when she releases her from the edge. AJ looked at her and confirmed.

"Let go" Applejack said bluntly but....Honestly.

"What?! Are you crazy?!" Twilight said.

"No ah ain't, I telling you the honest truth, if you let go, everything is gonna be alright" she said with a smile reassuring Twilight.

Twilight shed a tear and trusted her and let go.

"Gahhhhhhh!!!" She screamed, Syera was Swift and sweeped up her and caught her in her strong saiyan arms.

"I'm here sis" cooing softly the Saiyan told to Twilight as she had caught her and hugged her reassuringly as they landed on the ground.

"Oh Syera!" Twilight hugged her back so tightly and shed a few tears.

"You saved me" She said as she hugged her Saiyan sister tightly, soon their companions had came down to join the two.

"You should Thank not only me, but Applejack for reassuring you." Syera smiled as she looked over at Applejack whom smiled back.

"Yes, thank you Applejack" Twilight said as she went out my arms and hugged her.

"Anything for a friend sugarcube" She returned the hug to Twilight.

"Ok, the castle isn't far now, from what I saw from that ridge. just southeast of here." Syera stated to them and waved an arm to signal to follow swiftly.

"Alright, let's go" Twilight said but all of a sudden they heard a loud roar, and it was close.

"That doesn't sound good...." Syera said turning around and saw this creature that looked like a Lion and Scorpion Mixed.

"A Manticore!" Fluttershy screamed.

"Spread out!" Syera and the others scattered apart a little to deal with it. it first approached Rarity but she bucked him in the chin.

"Hya! take that you ruffian!" She said then it roared in her face causing her hair to frizz up and go straight back.

"Ahhh! my hair! ahhhh!" She said running away as the Manticore Growled.

"Yeehaw! ride em!" Applejack then began to ride it on its back but it bucked her off.

"Wait" I heard Fluttershy say but ignored it

"Whoa! all yours partner" She said to Dash while in the air.

"I'm on it!" Dash said rushing it and spinning circles around the Manticore trying to make it confused but it failed as it flicked its tail knocking Dash silly.

"Ok! enough!" Syera told as she readied herself in a fighting stance but felt something nibble at her tail and it got her attention so she turned back at her tail and saw Fluttershy had it in her mouth. With the saiyan's attention grabbed, Fluttershy got asked

"Hmm? what is it Fluttershy" Syera got on a knee, hearing her out.

"Well....its just that we don't need to use violence to solve this, I can see the Manticore isn't furious at us, but just in pain defending itself." She stated and that made sense since the creature didn't seem to be in an aggressive state of mind, but in pain.

"I see, what do we do?" Syera asked as Fluttershy then whispered in her ear what to do and the saiyan nodded.

Next thing that happens is the others start to charge it all at once in a battle formation.

"Wait!!" Fluttershy screamed and the others stopped and approached the Manticore with a smile, it roared and was about to swipe her away but then.

"Shh....its ok" she said showing it affection and it stopped and calmed down then showed her its paw, it seemed he had a nasty thorn in it.

"Oh you poor thing, you got a nasty big thorn in your paw, here. this might sting a little." She said pulling it out with her teeth and it roared in pain as it came out and it grabbed her.

"Fluttershy!" the others screamed but Syera stopped them.

"Wait! stop!" The saiyan ordered as they all saw what was really going on. The manticore was like a little kitty and it was licking and purring Fluttershy with love and compassion for pulling the thorn out.

"Hehe, you're just a little kitty at heart huh? yes you are." She said cooing the manticore and Syera, Twilight as well as the others all slipped past it quietly and soon it let her go and left.

"How did you know?" Twilight asked Fluttershy who had her hair curved backwards by the Manticore's loving licks.

"I didn't really, I just guessed and decided it couldn't hurt to show a little Kindness" Shy said with a smile as she walked to join us.

"Ok, lets get going girls" Syera told leading the pack ahead to the castle. However down the path they chose, all of a sudden it got really musky and hard to see.

"Ugh....all this mugginess is messing with my complexion" Rarity complained to us.

"Hmm? I got something. Ha! Yraaagh!" With a flash of gold, Syera had gone Super Saiyan which created a glow of light for them to see.

"Ah, much better darling thank you." Rarity said thanking the Saiyan for her super powered up golden light source.

"So awesome, I wish I could do that. what's called again?" Rainbow asked aweing her appearance.

"I think its called Super Saiyan, Nightmare Moon stated that to me when I transformed, otherwise I don't know much else, other than I can feel this transformation makes me a lot stronger than my normal state." Syera explained in a slightly deeper voice as it seemed to affect how aggressive she can be. Though they were all caught off guard when they all heard a scream from Fluttershy.

"What is it Fluttershy? Ahhh!" Twilight said as they all looked and screamed as the appearance of the trees seemed to depict evil and scary faces.

Syera didn't scream since they were just trees, nothing really scary just they look like it but whatever and it seemed Pinkie agreed with her by showing her expression of laughter at one of them and mocking them with her giggles and funny faces depicting them.

"Pinkie Pie what are you doing?! run!" Twilight said to her but she giggled more.

"Oh girls....don't you see?" Pinkie stated and some music start to play that was, wait....music?

"When I was a little filly and the sun was going down..." Pinkie started singing.

"Tell me she's not..." Twilight said wondering if she really is.

"The darkness and the shadows, they would always make me frown..."

"She is." Rarity said

"I'd hide under my pillow

From what I thought I saw

But Granny Pie said that wasn't the way

To deal with fears at all"

She sang as she bounced around us looking at her.

"Then what is?" Rainbow Asked her.

"She said, "Pinkie, you gotta stand up tall

Learn to face your fears

You'll see that they can't hurt you

Just laugh to make them disappear."

"Ha! Ha! Ha!" She laughed and the face on the tree disappeared causing the other ponies and saiyan to gasp in awe as they looked at it a little shocked from how it changed. Which in turned started into a trend of laughter from everypony there.

"So, giggle at the ghostly

Guffaw at the grossly

Crack up at the creepy

Whoop it up with the weepy

Chortle at the kooky

Snortle at the spooky"

They all started to realize and started to laugh even harder at them.

"And tell that big dumb scary face to take a hike and leave you alone and if he thinks he can scare you then he's got another thing coming and the very idea of such a thing just makes you wanna... hahahaha... heh..."

"Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaauuuugh!"

"Hahahaha!!" Soon losing it all and couldn't hold back, all sorts of laughter took place, so hard they all fell on the ground laughing so hard and the faces on the trees all disappeared.

"Hehe...ahh..." Syera giggled softly at the end a bit more as she regained her composure with the others as they trecked forward, more giggling here and there followed.

Soon the saiyan came to a halt when they realized there was a raging river in front of em.

"Whoa! what's the hold up?" Rainbow said to the saiyan.

"We got a problem, look" Syera told and pointed forward. All six of them peaked out from behind her and saw the rivers currents were raging hard. and since not all of them can fly over, they needed to find an alternate way to cross.

"Hmm? how do we cross?" Pinkie asked.

"Hmm, I'm thinking, I'm thinking" Syera told holding a palm to her chin thinking but then all of a sudden they all heard what sounded like crying from the left side up the river.

Walking over to found the source of the water's commotion, and it was a giant purple serpant with a orange hair due and mustache, but it looked like his left part of his mustache was clipped and ruined.

"Um, excuse me sir, why are you crying?" Twilight asked him.

"Well I don't know....I was just here minding my own business when a purple blue mist came and cut my beautiful mustache!" he said throwing a serious fit and splashing us with water soaking us.

"Ugh....that's the problem?!" Rainbow said in an aggravated tone of annoyance.

"Why of course! how could you ignore a fashion problem such as this!" Rarity said to Dash as she stepped forward to the Serpent.

"I mean really darling, with his glamorous manicure" She complemented him.

"I know...." He said looking at his fingers and scales.

"And that fabulous hairstyle you have." She complemented again.

"Oh I know, I know..." The serpent said rubbing his hairdo style fixing it.

"All ruined without your glamorous mustache" Rarity said, great. she reminded him of his looks.

"Its all so true! I look hideous!" He said throwing another crying fit tantrum.

"I can't simply leave such a fashion combo go to waste, no sir!" Rarity screamed then all of a sudden ripped off one of the serpent's scales.

"Ow! why did you do that for!" He said tearing up then a cutting sound was heard but we looked away and heard the serpent sigh and fall to the ground like a drama queen.

"Rarity what are you- !?" Before Twilight could get the rest out, it happened.

Syera looked closer and saw that the Serpent wasn't hurt or cut when he fell over, instead Rarity cut her tail off!

"There you go darling" She said when she combined her tail with his cut mustache.

"Oah! my thank you! thank you so much! my mustache!" The Serpent cheered in joy.

"Ah, another deed satisfied, you're very welcome, you look fabulous." Rarity said with a smile.

"Oh Rarity, you're beautiful tail!" Twilight said in aweshock as it was super short now.

"You sure that was the right call to do Rarity, it's a shame to see your tail so short when it was so long and elegant" Syera mentioned as she looked at it a bit sadden that it's in the state it is, but it was put to a good cause.

"Oh don't worry my dears, short tails are in this season of fashion, besides it will grow back" She said with a smile but her whole demeanor seemed to show she was a little sad over the situation. It was then Syera noticed the water was calm and collected, stepping in the ankle deep water she motioned to the others and spoke

"Hey girls, we can cross now" Syera pointed out while walking in the shallow water but then the saiyan was suddenly lifted up in the air all of a sudden. "Whao!?" She gasped but then realized it was the serpant.

"Allow me" the serpent said raising her up in the air with his back in different humps and curves, in turn to help. Syera and the others jump and hop across to the otherside.

"Thank you kind Serpant." Syera said as well as the other girls said while crossing his back.

Waving goodbye to him, the gang proceeded to the castle of the two sisters which was now in view sight.

"Girls! we're almost there! whoa!" Twilight said but she almost fell of the edge of the cliff.

"What's with you and falling off cliffs today?" Rainbow Dash asked her while pulling her back up on her tail.

"Hmm? how are we all gonna cross when the bridge is out?" The saiyan asked putting her finger and thumb to her chin, however, Rainbow just nudged her to get her attention.

"Uh duh!" She said while wiggling her wings.

"Oah yeah, that's how!" Pinkie said as Rainbow flew down to grab the other end of the bridge and tied it over the side.

"Rainbow Dash......" A voice called out.

"Huh?! who's there?! come out so I can pound ya!" She threatened but three figures which turned out to be ponies, they wore dark jump suits and had blue hair with goggles of such. They looked similar to the wonderbolts, but what would a group like them being doing out here?

"We are the shadowbolts and we've been looking for a leader of our team, and we want that to be you Rainbow Dash" They said and Dash lit up in joy.

"What?! really, me?!" She said.

"Done! just let me get this first" Dash said about to tie the other end of the bridge to cross but the one got in the way.

"NO! its either them or us!" They spoke firmly, this caught Syera's attention that ticked her off, ready to fight but all of a sudden they crated a big mass of fog and what seemed to be a barrier. None of five other ponies or Syera couldn't see these Shadowbolts or Rainbow Dash.

"Rainbow Dash!" The group called out to her.

"So what's it gonna be?" the one asked.

"Thank you" Rainbow said and they smiled evilly for a second.

"For the offer I mean, but my friends are way to awesome, thanks but no thanks" Rainbow said to them as she tied the other end of the bridge.

Frowning they stormed off and turned into a blue smoke, wait blue smoke? that must be Nightmare Moon! she must've been trying to separate them all this entire time!

"Yeah! Rainbow Dash!" The others cheered for her as the fog cleared and it showed her posing and smiling in front of us.

"I'd never leave my friends hanging, now lets go get those elements!" Rainbow told with a firm smile to the others whom followed.

The castle was enormous in size, it took some time to find the chamber where the elements were held.

"This place is massive, I wonder why the Two sisters left this place? Twilight, I think we should explore this place sometime after this over." Syera suggested.

"I agree with you there, I can't imagine how many books there are in this castle's library." Twilight spoke with an excited tone.

"ugh, books. Twilight you're such an egghead." Rainbow Dash pointed out with a laugh.

"Hey leave her alone, besides I dont mind a good tale from here and there, so reading isn't a bad thing Rainbow." Applejack told in defense of Twilight.

"While books are well, the decor of this place is old and so vintage, ahh I could go to work in here at restoring it all." Rarity pointed out as some of the banners that hung along the castle walls and even the ruggs beneath their hooves and toes for Syera's case.

"I wonder what goodies I could make in the castle's kitchen if it was restored! Oooo, cupcakes sound so good. And I wonder if this castle has one of those ominous Organs that can be played." Pinkie Pie seemed very focused on treats and Organs more than anything.

"I think we'll all have time to do so after we deal with Nightmare Moon, sound good?" Syera asked the others as they came upon a hall which the book mentioned.

"Mhm!" They told in response as they entered inside the hall of elements. Inside was what seemed like just a statue that indicated the symbol of each element. Only there were five, Honesty, Kindness, Laughter, Loyalty, Generosity. Where are the sixth and seventh hidden elements?

"Ok so are these it?" Syera asked Twilight to confirm that's what they need to find and if so, wondered what comes next.

"Confirmed what I saw in the book. Alright, It said in a spark of sorts should ignite the elements. I'll try to make it happen with an activation spell the book told me." Twilight said focusing as her horn started to glow.

"Come on ya'll, she's need some time and space to work" Applejack said as she and the other ponies went into another part of room and looked around, meanwhile Syera stayed by Twilight to make sure it works.

"Huh?!" Twilight said as a black mist surround us and then took the elements.

"The Elements!" Syera and Twilight screamed and hopped into whatever this mist was and was transported into another part of the castle.

"What the? where are we?" Rubbing her head, Syera looked around before turning around as she heard Laughter behind her and Twilight. It was Nightmare Moon! she had the elements!

"Ahahahaha!!" She laughed as she saw us but Syera and Twilight Gave each other a look and readied ourselves.

"Hmph!" With a flash, Syera turned into a Super Saiyan once more and Twilight powered up her horn.

"You're kidding, You're kidding right?" She said with an annoyed tone.

The two sisters both took off running after her and she charged as well.

But at the last second when they were close, Twilight teleported behind her and got near the elements, which caught Nightmare Moon off guard and was met with a fist to the face by Syera which sent her into a wall.

Twilight rubbed her horn groaning a bit. "Please work" She got to work while I held of Nightmare Moon.

"Damn you putrid Saiyan, rahh!" Nightmare screamed out at Syera who then grabbed the mare out of the wall and sent her up and through the roof the castle chamber they were in.

"Come at me." the Saiyan then put on a fighting stance in the air. Nightmare Moon and her went at it. Punches and bucks of hooves exchanged with kicks too which Shook the grounds hard with each blow.

"Why you! I'll make you pay with your life for that!" Nightmare Moon charged with incredible speed, matching Syera's own and procceeded to clash a few times here and there.

"HAaaaaa!!" Cried out Nightmare Moon as she tackled down Syera and which the Saiyan retaliated.

"Yaaahhhhhgh!" Syera screamed as she kicked the made off her Kangaroo style with her hands in the back of her and her legs extended out

"Aghh!" nightmare Moon didn't enjoy that too much. What she wasn't ready for was the flurry of strikes Syera had in store next. With a shriek and a hard-core power surge flowing from the Saiyan, she rushed the Mare of the Moon with a Dragon Fist Strike then forced her back with a serious push ki pulse. Using Instant Transmission to teleport where Nightmare Moon was flying to and then kicked her back down to ground level where Twilight was. The crash was immense it Shook the whole castle itself.

In another part of the castle, the commotion could be heard from where the rest of the ponies were. Applejack, Rainbow Dash as well as Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy and Rarity all witnessed it

"Whoa!" Rainbow Dash said as she felt everything shake.

"What in the hay is going on over there!?" Applejack said as they saw shockwaves and a bright light coming from another section of the castle.

"Its probably where Syera and Twilight are, we have to help them!" Rarity said and they all ran over there to help out. but it was quite a distance since the place is so big.

Back in the middle of the fight

"Why don't you just give it up!?!" Nightmare moon screamed at the saiyan, battered up a little as she crawled out the gravel under her hooves. which caused a chuckle in response from her.

"Well....I never really learned how to Luna" Syera told mocking her name and that made her more furious.

"I AM NOT LUNA!!!" She screamed and bucked the saiyan a good time in the face with one of her front hooves, a flurry of them came rushing at the Super Saiyan and she was knocked into the air.

"Gah!!" Syera felt them hard as she was knocked upward then struck down to the castle floor, skidding forward on her chest.

"Ha! How do you like that Super Saiyan?" The made shouted out with a chuckle, Little did Nightmare Moon know, all that barely fazed Syera as the Saiyan slowly stood up, clothing a bit tattered and with a groan she asked.

"Nrg... Is that the best you can do?" syera asked.

"What did you say!?" Nightmare Moon was angered by such a response.

"I said... is THAT the BEST YOU CAN DO!?" Syera's tone raised heavily as she got angry and taunted Nightmare Moon.

"You damn monkey! Watch your tone! Haaa!" Nightmare Moon rushed Syera again however the saiyan dodged her incoming attack and reversed it on the mare.

"Ryahhhhhhhhhrgh!" Syera layed in a punch to the gut of Nightmare Moon, causing her to cough up a bit of blood. And which Syera then threw a kick with brought down the Mare flat on the ground, causing a small crator in the floor.

"Ahhhhhh!" Syera's attention soon turned away from Nightmare Moon heard Twilight scream as she was pushed by an unknown force from the elements.

"Twilight!? are you ok?!" Syera called out to her but, distracted by her sister's shriek, it was then Nightmare Moon landed a sneak attack, it was then she shot a small magic beam at the Saiyan, which hit her through the side of her belly and it knocked her down to her knees in pain.

"Aaaakkk!!" Syera lost her breath from how much pain that caused her, bleeding slowly she dropped to a knee.

Nightmare Moon seemed to recover fast as she got away from Syera after giving her that surprise attack, she flew over and landed near the now glowing stone elements on the ground and gasped.

"No!" She was frightened but then they stopped glowing. Syera and Twilight both gasped in shock as they thought the elements were gonna work their magic.

"What?!" Syera and Twilight screamed.

"Ehahahaha!" Moon laughed as she raised her front hooves up and stomped on the ground crushing the elements to pieces.

"No!" Syera screamed out as Twilight saw in horror as they were crushed, the saiyan groaned in Pain, she couldnt hold onto her Super Saiyan state anymore that attack did a little too much on her and she was losing blood.

"You little foals! thinking you'd defeat me?! well think again because now the elements are dust on my hooves and now officially! The Night will last forever!!! AHahahahahaaha! Ehahahahahaha!!" She screamed out laughing.

"Its...Not over...not yet......." The saiyan slowly stood up near Twilight. Shaky at her legs but she was ready to fight again.

"Syera no, you're hurt. And she's very powerful as it is. I don't think we can... " before Twilight could say anything more, she and Syera turned around and could hear their friends call out their names.

"Twilight!? Syera?! where are you?!" They were getting closer but then Syera and Twilight gasp. A small but faint spark had come from the two of them. Realizing it and felt it too when we heard their friends voices. It all became clear.

"You think you can destroy The Elements of Harmony just like that? Well, you're wrong, because the spirits of The Elements of Harmony are right here" Twilight said to Nightmare Moon as she looked scared and a bit confused.

"Applejack! who promised that everything was going to be alright in the face of danger, represents the element of: Honesty!"

"Fluttershy! who calmed and comforted a manticore in need of help of an injury, represents the element of Kindness!"

"Pinkie Pie! who laughed in the face of evil to realize it was just what made them out to be truly, represents the element of Laughter!"

"Rarity! who calmed a great giant serpent with fashion and glamour with her tail fixing his style, represents the element of Generosity!"

"Rainbow Dash! who never turned her back on her friends even given the opportunity of a life time, represents the element of Loyalty!"

"The Spirits of these five ponies have gotten us through every single moment of triumph you put us through!" Twilight finished, however there was one last retort Night Moon had up her sleeve.

"You still don't have the sixth element! The spark will not work, not to mention the most unknown seventh element." Nightmare hissed, still believing she is not yet defeated.

"Oh but you are wrong, it was then I felt this spark. The moment when I heard your voices, of my friends. How much I cared about you and was glad that you all are by my side. You most importantly Syera." Twilight told as she looked at her friends and sister.

"I felt it too Twilight, the moment that I was with you all, all of you. I felt my drive to stop all this grow even stronger, and thanks to Nightmare Moon is how I was able to awaken this power within myself." feeling the power of the... the spark, taking hold and bend with her Saiyan spirit of the pride and being so vigorously courageous each time a great battle takes place.

"You see Nightmare Moon, with all of us together. We will never be broken apart! Because the element that keeps us together is the greated and sixth element of all. The Element of Magic, and let's not forget my sister's, as she is the seventh." Twilight foretold, which aweshocked Nightmare Moon.

"What?! That monkey can't be the seventh, she can't be!" But it seemed Nightmare was wrong once more, as the seventh element appeared over the saiyan in question, just as the sixth appeared over Twilight. Syera looked at it, a necklace with a seven star round gem stone that was orange. The stars were red, and it wrapped around her neck as did the others for the other element bearers. But what did this seventh element represent?

*Syera's POV*;

"But I don't get it... what is the seventh element if the sixth hidden one is magic, what does that make me?" I asked in confusion.

"I think you already know Syera, your drive and motivation to lead us onward, and your bravery of conquering any kind of challenge without breaking down, the same reason as to what you are." Twilight explained, but it all seemed clear to me now.

"The Element of....Courage, My courage was enough to push forward and keep us together, but mine alone could not be here if it weren't for you and the rest of these five Twilight, and I thank you all." It was then I turned to face the Nightmare of the Night.

"Now it's time to end this eternal night... once and for all." I finished and then the spark of our elements all came together as one, I could feel them flowing through all of us as we rised up in the air in front of the evil tyrant.

"Noooo!!!" Nightmare Moon screamed out as we charged up our power, the power of all of our spirits melding into one single entity, nothing could be more powerful than us at that moment.

I could feel all the energy in me flowing and mixing with the others, it triggered my Super Saiyan Spirit, once above light of our friendship shined bright within us, we all created a giant energy beam of Rainbow-rooted Light and it made its way in a collision course into Nightmare Moon. The mare in the moon was utterly helpless and was now... defeated.

"Aghhhhhaahhhhh!!!" I never heard a scream so loud, from the force of the blast made me pass out. Everything was a blur at that point, did we win or lose?

*back the third person*;

"Mmm....aough my head. Hmm?" groaning a bit, Syera then stood up on one leg on a kneeling position, wiping away some sweat off her forehead then looking around, She noticed she wasn't bleeding anymore from that magic blast Nightmare Moon left in her side. As if something healed her, was it the elements, oh the elements! It clicked in her head to then ask next.

"Ok, Everypony who's not dead, sound off." With that said, She heard multiple groans from the others. Rainbow Dash was the first to speak up.

"Yeah, I'm good... but wow! What a blast!" Rainbow shouted then Rarity shrieked in joy.

"Oah! by the stars yay! ahaha!" Rarity realized her tail grew back and was so amazed that it did.

"Oh Rarity, its so beautiful" Fluttershy complimented her.

"I know darling, I'll never part with it again!" Rarity announced wagging her new tail a bit more.

"Well that and your necklace, it looks like your cutie mark." Fluttershy said, wait she had one as well that looked like her cutie mark.

"So does yours darling and even Applejack's, Pinkie Pie's, Rainbow Dash's!" She pointed out.

"Weee! hehe!" Pinkie said looking at hers.

"Ah yeah!" Dash announced in pride as she stuck her chest out a bit admiring her necklace.

Twilight had a crown representing her element, the most important, magic.

Syera sighed happily as she looked at her element and held it tight in the palm of her hand. it was then Applejack spoke up to Twilight as well the Saiyan

"Wow, at first I thought you two were spitting a whole lotta whooey about us, but I guess ya'll were right. All 7 of us, we do represent the elements of harmony" Applejack said admitting that the two were right all along. What happened next they did not expect, a beam of light shined from with a voice all too familiar to them all.

"Indeed you all do" A voice that belonged to Princess Celestia, and came inside with a flash of light and with the sun rising slowly in the sky as she appeared before us.

"Princess Celestia" Twilight said and the Saiyan and fellow ponies all bowed down to her in respect of her honor.

"But, you told me all of what was going to happen was just an old pony's tale" Twilight said as she was confused about all that has happened.

"I told you and Syera to make friends first and foremost, nothing more. I saw the signs of Nightmare Moon's return just as I expected you to. and Unlocking Syera's Super Saiyan powers by the loss of her teacher was sort of planned, but not in this way as I expected..." Celestia stated with a small sigh of relied

"Wait, so you're saying that me becoming a Super Saiyan was planned by Nightmare capturing you and putting you on the moon for eternity, making me angry and sad by loss?!" Syera asked a bit shocked and she nodded then put a hoof to her chin

"Well like I stated before, it was my plan, not how I wanted it to go but it happened. though on the contrary, you've obtained your Super Saiyan power, it shows how far you've grown in you studies and training, I am very prowd of you. As for you Twilight as you haved showed that with the abilities of you, your sister and your new friends, you were able to defeat Nightmare Moon." She explained and it made sense, Syera, Twilight Sparkle as well as the others worked together in perfect harmony as friend to defeat her, and deep down, Syera knew even with the power of being a Super Saiyan, no way she couldn't have stop her alone. Maybe, but too late to try it out now.

"Again, I am very proud of you and two. However, one more matter is at hand here, and I'm sure you already know Syera, Princess Luna." Celestia said as they all looked at the remains of Nightmare Moon and what was left was a small blue alicorn which happened to be the true Princess of the Night, Princess Luna.

She gasped as she looked up at her sister before her as so did Syera as well as Twilight and their friends in the room.

"It has been a thousand years since I have seen you like this. Time to put our differences behind us. We were meant to rule together, little sister." Celestia stated shocking them all with whom Princess Luna is to Celestia.

"Sister?!" They all shouted in shock and awe.

"Will you accept my friendship?" Celestia asked her as she kneeled down to Luna's level.

Waiting nervously as we awaited the Princess of the Night's answer. "Whoa!" Pinkie Pie leaned to much forward and fell on her face. The tension was high but the result came fast.

"I'm so sorry! I missed you so much, big sister!" Luna said breaking into tears as she hugged her older sister.

"I've missed you, too" Celestia stated having shed a few tears as well.

It was then after the group awed and smile, they all looked at Pinkie Pie who was being a little over dramatic and crying a serious river of tears and blowing her nose.

"Hey, you know what this calls for?" Pinkie asked us getting instantly happy.

"A party!" she said as they all suddenly back in Ponyville, there was music and ponies cheering and dancing welcoming their new princess back into Equestria. two Pegasi even gave Luna a flower necklace which made her happy instead of being sad and gloomy.

In the end of it all, Syera and Twilight were thinking and were both disappointed about leaving their new friends.

"Why are my students so glum? isn't it good you both completed your quest and will now be able to go back to Canterlot? Syera you can train more and Twilight you can get back to your studies?" Celestia stated.

"Well, that's just it Princess, even now that I learned the wonders of having friends, I don't want to leave them." Twilight said.

"Yeah, even though I maybe a Super Saiyan, I don't want to leave my friends behind and go train all alone." Syera added on with Twilight.

"Spike, take a note please, I, Princess Celestia, hereby decree that the Unicorn Twilight Sparkle and the Saiyan Syera Twiggles Sparkle, shall take on a new mission for Equestria. they must continue to study the magic of friendship. And both must report to me their findings from their new home in Ponyville." Celestia said shocking both Syera and Twilight. Ponies cheering for them both as the two sisters hugged each other and then Princess Celestia

"T...thank you Princess Celestia! I will study this subject harder than any other before!" Twilight said in the hug followed with her saiyan sister.

"And so will I, and continue my training to become a stronger Saiyan while also learning new friendship ways!" Syera's words filled determination brought cheer and joy as their five friends new friends, who them hugged both Syera and Twilight firmly after they got out of the embrace of the Princess.

Syera and Twilight Sparkle have now begun a new quest in their journey, Studying the magic of friendship!

"Isn't this exciting? Are you excited cause I'm excited I've never been so excited, well, except for the time that I went [gasp] but I mean really who can top that?!" Pinkie said, see you all next chapter. stay tuned.

Chapter 6: The One-way Ticket to the G.G.G

View Online

Its been about a week or 2 since the whole "Nightmare Moon incident", but Everypony seems to be adjusting back to normal life as usual. But adventures are in Ponyville for Syera and Twilight? find out now!

cue intro music - The One-way Ticket to the G.G.G!

Right now Twilight Sparkle, Spike and Syera are helping Applejack on her farm, Sweet Apple acres.

Syera's POV

Man, I can't believe its been two whole weeks since Nightmare Moon a.k.a Princess Luna's return, there may be some issues with Town hall being repaired and such.

I apologized to everypony since I kinda did shock them with my sudden transformation, though their kids thought otherwise.

"Whoo-wee, thank ya very much Twilight and Syera, I wouldn't have been able to get all these apples on my own without your help. I had a bet with Big McIntosh that I'd get all these apples into the barn by lunch, and since Im gonna win, he's gonna walk down Stirrup Street with one of Granny Smith's girdles" AJ said chuckling and thanking us.

"Hey its no problem really, besides what are friends for?" I said carrying about 5 bushels of Apples in my hands which were a good workout.

"No....no..." Spike said as he was searching through the apples for the right one.

"What Syera said, and Im glad the goal is lunchtime, all this working has made me hungry for dear life." Twilight said, which in turn made my stomach growl loudly.

"Oah.....sorry girls, my Saiyan instincts are kicking in since you said Lunchtime." I said making us all laugh cheerfully.

"Yeah, tell me about, Im starving." Spike said.

"But all you've been doing was lounge on my back all the time we worked." Twilight said to the little purple dragon.

"I know, you've been working all this that I've missed Snack time." Spike retorted.

"Well you didn't have to come with us, you know that right Spike?" I said retorted back to his claim.

"Aha! found it!" Spike shouted holding a bright red apple in his hand, really flawless too and it looked good.

"Oh Spike, that looks delicious" Twilight compliments licking her lips a bit. then in one bite he chewed it down.

"Whoa! Spike!" I said to him.

"Hmm? what?" He said wondering if he did something wrong.

"I knew it looked good but you didn't have to chomp it down in one bit, sheesh, and hell you could've given it to Twilight, she's the most hungry of us all." I said to him.

He was about to respond but he then burped a huge flame and with it came a letter with the Princesses' golden seal.

"Whoa, looks like we got a letter, I wonder who its from" I said in a sing-song voice.

"It looks like its from Princess Celestia, I wonder what for?" Twilight wondered as she said that.

"Maybe Nightmare Moon is back!" I said in almost a scared tone and they all jumped and I laughed a bit.

"Come on, be serious here Syera, if Nightmare Moon was back, wouldn't there be eternal night or something right now?" AJ asked me with a look that said "really".

"Oh I know, I just wanted to see your faces with that reaction" they all looked at me with a glare then shook it off and I chuckled a bit and shrugged.

"What's it really say Spike" Twilight asked the young dragon.

he cleared his throat a bit before speaking out loud the letter.

"Hear ye, hear ye. Her Grand Royal Highness, Princess Celestia of Equestria, is pleased to announce The Grand Galloping Gala to be held in the magnificent capital city of Canterlot, on the 21st day of, eh, yadda yadda yadda, cordially extends an invitation to Twilight Sparkle, Syera plus one guest" Spike said and the held three golden tickets out the side.

"The Grand Galloping Gala!" Twilight and AJ said with excitement as they hopped around joyfully.

"What's so great about the Gala anyway?" i said having absolutely no knowledge of the event.

"The Grand Galloping Gala is one of the biggest events of the year and everypony from all over Equestria comes together and socialize. I've never been to the Gala itself, have you Spike?" Twilight said asking him.

"No, and I plan on keeping it that way, I don't want any of that fruity frilly crapola in my life." Spike said.

"Well now that Spike says that, it sounds pretty frilly and such, which I don't like, but I'll go for your sake Twilight" I said staying by my sister's side always.

"Thank you Syera." Twilight said to me thanking me for being there for her.

"Twilight, I hope it isn't to much to ask but could I have that spare ticket to the gala?" AJ asked her politley.

"How come?" Twilight asked.

"Well shoot, if I can make it to the gala, I can get some renovations done around here.....I can see it now." AJ Continued.

"Ponies would be lining up and buying all sorts of little vittles till the cows come home, Do you have any idea how much business I could drum up for Sweet Apple Acres? Why, with all that money, we could do a heap of fixin' up 'round here. We could replace that saggy old roof, and Big McIntosh could replace that saggy old plow, and Granny Smith could replace that saggy old hip." Wow, that's some serious stuff I thought to myself as AJ explained.

"Why, I'd give my left hind leg to go to that gala." She finished.

"Wow, that's pretty deep Applejack." I said to her but before I could say more.

"Wait, whoa!!" We heard from above and then something crashed on top of me making me drop all the apples we collected.

"Ugh. Are we talking about The Grand Galloping Gala?" Rainbow Dash said getting up off me and I stood up and collected the apples back up in the baskets.

"Rainbow Dash. You told me you were too busy to help me harvest apples. What were you busy doing? Spyin?" AJ asked the mischievous blue Pegasus.

"No, I was busy napping, and I just happened to hear that you have an extra ticket?" Rainbow Asked me and Twilight.

"Yeah, but--" is all we both got out before she cheered on.

"YES! This is so awesome. The Wonderbolts perform at The Grand Galloping Gala every year. I can see it now." Oh great, another story. this is making me even more hungry than before! my stomach growled a bit more.

"Everyone would be watching the sky. Their eyes riveted on The Wonderbolts, but then in would fly, Rainbow Dash!" She exclaimed and continued.

"I would draw their attention with my Super Speed Strut.

"Then, I would mesmerize 'em with my Fantastic Filly Flash."

"And for my grand finale, The Buccaneer Blaze! The ponies would go wild!"

"The Wonderbolts would insist that my signature moves be incorporated into their routine, and then welcome me as their newest member.

"Don't you see, Twilight and Syera? This could be my one chance to show 'em my stuff. You gotta take me!" Dash exclaimed in our faces but then AJ grabbed her by the tail and yanked her down in her face.

"Now wait just one pony picking minute! *spits out her tail* I asked for that ticket first!" AJ said to her.

"So?! that doesn't mean you own it!" Rainbow retorted.

"Well I challenge you to a hoof-wrestle! winner gets the ticket!" AJ said challenging her.

"Alright!" Dash said and with that they started to have a hoof wrestle on an old tree stump.

I already saw enough so I walked over to them and broke it up.

"Girls! enough!" I said breaking their hoof wrestle apart.

"Now, these are me and Twilight's tickets, I think the one with the best reason deserves to go, what do you think Twilight?" I asked her and she nodded in agreement.

"Drumming up money for the farm!"

"Getting a chance to hang with the wonderbolts!"

"Replacing Granny's hip!"

"Living the dream!"

Each said their statements and they were good reasons no doubt.

"Oh damn, those are helluva good reasons." I said

*stomach growls*

"Looks like Im not the only one who is hungry and besides we can't make big decisions on an empty stomach, come on Syera and Spike, lets get some food." Twilight said to me and Spike and I followed her back to Ponyville and I looked back for a sec and saw those two hoof wrestle again.

I shook my head and chuckled a bit under my breath as we went on.

"So, where do you think we should eat?" I asked Spike and Twilight.

"Well we could go to Sugarcube Corner." Twilight said.

"Nah....we had food from there like 2 days in a row and it was mostly muffins and sweet tarts, lets get some real food if thats alright." I said wanting something else besides sweets to keep me going.

But as I said that, we were all hit my a certain pink pony we know.

"Ahg! what the hell?!" I screamed out in a bit of annoyance. it didn't hurt though.

"Ahhhh! spiders on my face! help!" Pinkie screamed but there were no spiders, it was the three tickets we had to the triple G.

"Wait! those aren't spiders! their tickets to the Grand Galloping Gala!" She said with a smile with stars in her big blue eyes.

Oh great....here we go with another reason or story to go again. ugh.....

"It's the most amazing incredible tremendous super-fun wonderful terrifically humongous party in all of Equestria! I've always always always wanted to go!" She stated and broke into song.

Which sounded like nothing about sweets, cakes, balloons and other crap I don't recall.

"Oh thank you, Twilight, it's the most wonderful-est gift ever." Pinkie said as I dusted myself off and was about to pick up the tickets.

"Wait! are those what I think they are?!" Rarity said from out of no where she appeared as I picked up the tickets.

"Uhh....." both me and Twilight got out.

"Yes! Twilight and Syera are taking me to the Grand Galloping Gala up in Canterlot!" Pinkie exclaimed to Rarity hopping up and down.

"The gala? I design ensembles for the gala every year, but I've never had the opportunity to attend. Oh, the society, the culture, the glamour! It's where I truly belong, and where I'm destined to meet him."

"Him! ... Who?" Pinkie asked Rarity.

"Him. I would stroll through the gala, and everyone would wonder, "Who is that mysterious mare?" They would never guess that I was just a simple pony from little old Ponyville.
Why, I would cause such a sensation that I would be invited for an audience with Princess Celestia herself, and the princess would be so taken with the style and elegance that she would introduce me to him, her nephew: the most handsome, eligible unicorn stallion in Canterlot. Our eyes would meet, our hearts would melt. Our courtship would be magnificent. He would ask for my hoof in marriage, and of course I would say, "Yes!" We would have a royal wedding, befitting a princess, which is" She giggled briefly. "what I would become upon marrying him, the stallion of my dreams."

"Twilight, Syera darling, I simply cannot believe you would invite Pinkie Pie so she can... party, and prevent me from meeting my true love." Rarity said with Disappointment

"How could you? Hmph." She pouted at us which broke my heart down with guilt since its so hard to choose!

"Well we haven't really deci- hey!" I said as I felt the tickets get snatched out of my hands, I turned around and saw it was Angel, Fluttershy's Bunny.

"Angel, these are perfect" I heard Fluttershy say.

"Uh...listen guys, we haven't decided who to give the ticket too." Twilight said

"YOU HAVEN'T?!' Pinkie and Rarity shouted at us both.

"Um....Excuse me, Twilight, Syera if it isn't too much to ask, I mean if you haven't given it to someone else" Fluttershy said

"You, you Fluttershy want to go to the Gala" Rarity asked surprised.

"Oh, no. I mean, yes, or, actually, kind of. You see, it's not so much The Grand Galloping Gala as it is the wondrous private gated garden that surrounds the dance." Shy explained to us.

"The flowers are said to be the most beautiful and fragrant in all of Equestria. For the night of the gala, and that night alone, would they all be in bloom... and that's just the flora! Don't get me started on the fauna. There's loons and toucans and bitterns, oh my! Hummingbirds that can really hum, and buzzards that can really buzz. White-blue jays, and red jays, and green jays, pink jays and pink flamingos!"

"That sounds....beautiful" Me and Twilight said.

"Wait just a minute" we heard Rainbow Dash shout from above on a house.

"Rainbow Dash? were you following us?" Twilight asked as she came down.

"Yes, no...maybe look it doesn't matter! I could trust you or Syera giving that ticket away to just anypony!"

"Wait just another minute!"

"Applejack? you two were following us?" I asked her

"No, I was following this one to make sure she wasn't tryin' any funny business.....still trying ta take my ticket"

"Your Ticket?!"

"But Twilight is taking me!"

all five started to argue and it was getting out of hand, I stepped in and stopped it.

"QUIET!!" I said flaring up my Super Saiyan powers making them shut it.

"And I said oatmeal, are you cra~" Pinkie said realizing to shut it like everyone else.

"Thank you Syera, now, girls there is no use in arguing!"

"But Twilight"

"Ah! no, this is our decision, and me and Syera are going to make it, and we can't think with all this noise!"

At that said, our stomachs growled.

"Not to mention hunger!" I said grabbing my angry stomach

"now go on! shoo!" Twilight said to them and they grumbled and walked away from us.

"And don't worry! we'll figure something out!" I said.

"Hopefully" Twilight said.

Now that all the ruckus is dealt with, we went to a nearby cafe to grab some food....finally.

"Spike, what are we gonna do, all our friends want to go to the Gala....Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy.....Rainbow Dash and Rarity, who should go with me and Syera" She said plucking five pedals off a flower then eating them.

"Have you made you decision" The waiter asked us.

"I can't decide!" Twilight shouted.

"Um...Twilight, he just wants to take your order" I said to her calming her down.

"Oh, I'll have a daffodil and daisy sandwich please." She said calmly this time.

"I'll have house salad with a side of carrots" I said to the waiter.

"You have any rubies?" Spike asked the waiter and he just gave him a stern look.

"Alright, fine....I'll have the hay fries, extra crispy please" Spike making his final choice.

"What do you think Spike?" Twilight asked Spike

"I mean we could always go to another restaurant. I do like grass just fine, but would it kill somepony to offer some gemstones once in a while?" Spike complained.

"Uh...I think she mean't the Gala Spike" I said while stretching her arms.

"Oh, you're still on that?" He asked with a serious face.

"Spike, listen. How do I choose? And when I do choose, will the other four be mad at me? I mean, I could give up my ticket and give away two, but that would still leave three disappointed ponies. What if I--" she was cut off by the waiter.

"Ah, your food" he said to us.

"Oh yes, this looks so good. Once we eat I bet we'll have a clear mind on what to do next." Twilight said as Spike got to work on his food.

"Yes ma'am" I said as I was about to enjoy my Salad but then I noticed something?

"What in the?" I said as I saw everypony running inside.

"Um...Madams, are you going to eat your food in ze rain?" He asked us.

Me, Twilight and Spike looked at each other and all of us said

"Its not raining" And then we looked around us and saw it was but except where we were and I looked up and saw Rainbow Dash and she seemed to have poked a hole in the cloud.

"Hey best friends forever? enjoying the sunshine?" she said to us with a smile, this was odd and I could sense it.

"Rainbow Dash, what are you doing?" I asked her with a serious tone.

"Well I happen to be flying by and saw a nasty rainstorm come by thought I'd poke a hole for my two best buddies" she said with a bigger smile as me and Twilight rolled our eyes at her.

"Really now, you sure this isn't about the ticket to the gala?" I asked her

"Um no, I'd do it for anypony" but as she said that many other ponies were running through the rain panicing about getting wet and she chuckled nervously.

"Rainbow Dash, you should know me and Syera do not like un wanted favors, so I'd appreciate it if you plugged up that Rain cloud and leave us alone" Twilight said.

"Ugh! fine...." Rainbow said while zipping up the cloud.

"W-wait!" I said but it was too late

"That's better" Twilight said as she was about to eat her sandwich but then got rained on and so did I and Spike.

"Why.....why now!? I was just about to enjoy that!" I said and I almost let my anger slip all the way.

Spike chuckled a bit of course.

"Um...Twilight, Syera, darlings its raining" Rarity said to us with an umbrella on her.

"No.....you think?" Twilight said with a dry tone.

"Come quickly you two before you catch a cold" She said dragging Twilight away to her boutique and I followed with Spike.

Once Inside I dryed myself off by going semi-Super Saiyan and getting the moisture out my clothes.

Twilight shook herself off and was dry in an instant but what we did got Rarity kinda soaked in water.

"Oah....oops...sorry about that Rarity" I said to her as she had a stern look on her face.

"Oh no....its quite all right. after all, we are the best of friends aren't we?" She said as she was magically dry and her mane all fancy done while rubbing against the two of us.

"Um....well...yeah" is all me and Twi could get out.

"And you know what Best friends do? make-overs!" she said and then she dragged Twilight behind a curtian and then forced her into a dress of sorts.

"You look fabulous Twilight" Rarity said.

"Oh.....crap baskets..." I said to myself.

"Now, Syera, you're turn, I got something special for you." she said dragging me behind the curtian next.

"Hey whoa! whoa! hey wait! ow! that's not supposed to go there! ow!" Is all I could say as she forced me into some sort of white frilly tight skirt dress with dress shoes and did my hair in a fashionable way instead of what it actually is.

"Come now Syera, you look gorgeous in that outfit and your hair is done really well too instead of it being very spiky and wild as it is." Rarity said and yes she had a curling iron and straighten most of my hair but left my two front bangs alone.

"Spike, lets not forget you." Rarity said as she dragged the poor dragon to his doom and while I changed back to my normal clothing with the Gi along with the boots and gloves. I then ruffled my hair a bit to make it back to its normal form.

"Eww....I told you I'm not into this crapola, I'll see you two back at the library!" Spike said as he ran off with his small suite and tupee' falling off him as he did.

"Oh forget him, its just about you two and how you will look at the Grand Galloping Gala" Rarity said, wait....

"The Grand Galloping Gala?" Twilight asked but was cut off by Rarity again.

"Oh! and I happen to just have a matching outfit as yours, so now when we go everyone in Equestria will know the finest pony of all is Rarity Unicorn!" She said with sparkle in her eyes but was cut off by our glares to her.

"Oh and Twilight Sparkle of course and finest Saiyan is Syera accordingly" She grined lightly.

"I see what's going on here, you're just here to butter us up and give the extra ticket to you! well its not gonna happen!" Twilight said.

"That's right, now will you excuse us cause almost the entire afternoon we were trying to get some lunch!" I said as I opened the door.

"Did somepony say Lunch?!" we heard what sounded like Applejack as she pulled us out of Rarity's boutique.

"You've got to be kidding me!" me and Twilight said as we saw the apple treats before us on this cart Applejack pulled.

"I got apple Pie, apple fritters, apple tarts, apple dumplings, apple crisps, apple crumblers, and apple Brown Betty. Uh, the dessert, not my auntie. What do you say there, best friends?" She said with a smile and it was tempting but I stopped myself.

"No no no!" I said knocking over the cart.

"Its hard enough deciding on who to give the ticket too! And these favors aren't making it easier!" Twilight said and the two of us ran back to the library.

"Gah....now I just hope we can clear our minds and get some chow" I said.

"I'm right there with you sis" Twilight said as she opened the door but I think I spoke too soon.

"What the fu~" Is all I got out as what is in the library when we walked in.

There in the library, Fluttershy and her animals were singing away and cleaning the walls and orginizing the books on the shelves.

"Fluttershy not you too!" Twilight said in shock.

"Oh, well, Hello Twilight, Syera. I just thought me and my animal friends would do a little bit of...Spring cleaning for you" She said with a smile, only problem is

"Its Summer" Me and Twilight said with an annoyed tone.

"Well....better late than ever right." She said with another cheeky smile.

"It was Angel's Idea" She said and we both looked over at the little wabbit mixing a salad for us and smiled at us as well.

"You're not doing this for the Ticket are you?" i said crossing my arms at her.

"Oh heavens no, I'm doing it since you and Syera are my best friends, right Angel?" She said which was an obvious lie since Angel just looked at her with a serious expression.

"Oh yes, we are actually doing this for the ticket" She said correcting herself, but i do appreciate her honesty.

"Well I appreciate you honesty and kindness Fluttershy and Angel but me and Syera are not excepting anymore favors, so im gonna have to ask you to leave." Twilight said while opening the door of the library so Fluttershy can let herself out.

"So if you don't mind" I added while jestering my arm to the door with Twilight but then all of a sudden a bunch of Confetti was shot in the doorway.

"SURPRISE!" is all we heard before Pinkie with her abnormal strength grabbed us both with a couple other ponies and started juggling the two of us in the air.

Pinkie started sing Celestia knows what. we called her name a few times but then we both had a enough as we were flung up in the air for the forth time.

"PINKIE!!!" Twi and me screamed at her and i floated down on the ground next to Twilight as Pinkie went over to us and asked.

"Yes Twilight and Syera?" she said with a quick eye flutter and I just glared lightly.

"Ei yai yai Pinkie, at least these other ponies tried to be subtle about asking about the tickets to the Gala" I said getting up in her face aggravated and she smiled nervously.

"Wait, what Tickets? what Gala?" I heard Drizzle ask and that made me and Twi nervous.

"Oh you didn't know, Twilight and Syera have an extra Ticket to the Grand Galloping Gala." Pinkie said with a smile which i wanted to punch her for saying outloud!

"THE GRAND GALLOPING GALA!" the other ponies screamed and me and Twilight along with Spike that came by our side backed away quicked to get away but the ponies surrounded us and started farting out favors out their mouths like no tomorrow!

"Ahh! what do we do!?" Spike asked us.

"Were...gonna...RUUUNNN!" Twilight said putting Spike on her back taking off with him and me right behind them.

"Oh Damn!!!!" I said running as fast as I could with Twilight and Spike.

I swear to Celestia herself some chase music was playing in the background as if we were gonna be wacked on the head with a hammer.

Twilight and Spike then threw on a disguise where she was mother with a foal, Spike being the foal and i moved up behind a cloud.

It seemed to work but we kept moving another direction away from the ponies chasing us.

Carrot Top saw us and alerted the others, luckily the three of us dipped in a shop and we threw on some clown suits and acted like maniquins in the window.

We then got out once it seemed like the coast was clear but Berry Punch saw us and told the others, so we had to hid again.

So then we hid under a bridge with a small creek underneath.

The other ponies ran over the bridge. But all that rumbling of them going over it caused Spike to fall in the water so I grabed him but causing us to blow our cover since Bon-Bon saw us.

"Damn!" I said as we ran into an alley with a dead end.

"Oh no! not good!" Spike said as we were corned.

"Twilight?!" I said in fear since her horn was glowing then in a flash we were back in the library.

"Whoa! warn us next time you do that...!" Spike said a bit singed from the teleportation spell.

"Sorry, but come lock the doors and turn off the lights!" Twilight said to us.

Spike locked the doors. I blew out the candles outside since it was dark now and we all turned off the lights on each floor of the library.

We were in the clear, I hope.

"Phew....that was close" I said as the three of us sat near each other back to back and we both sighed.

But I think I spoke soon once again!

The lights turned on in the first floor and there sitting up on the ledge of the stairs was non other than our five pony friends.

"Ahhhhhhhh!!!!!" I screamed with Twilight and I flared up to Super Saiyan since it was so much madness!

"We can't ok! we just can't decide which one of you to take ok! and those favors you were doing was not helping with little sense of reason we had left!!!" I screamed out to them.

"That's right! we just can't decide out of the five of you who to take and its driving us to insanity!!" Twilight said as we both layed on the floor in complete despair.

"Twilight....Syera, I didn't mean to put so much pressure on you, and if it helps, I don't want the ticket anymore. You can give it to somepony else. I won't feel bad, I promise." Applejack admitted to us.

"Me too. I feel just awful that I made you feel so awful." Fluttershy feeling very ashamed of herself.

"And me too. It's no fun upsetting your friends." Pinkie Pie said being honest of being a party pooper.

"Twilight, Syera, it was unfair of me to try to force you as I did." Rarity said apologizing to us as well.

"Yes! That means the ticket is mine. Ha ha, I got the ticket, I got the ticket" Rainbow said in a sing song voice and I just glare at her while flaring up my Super Saiyan Aura along with the others glaring at her as well.

"Actually.....I haven't perfected my moves for the wonderbolts so...I don't need that ticker either." Rainbow said admitting to us she is sorry as well.

"We all got so gun-ho about going to the gala that we couldn't see how un-gun-ho we were making you two." Applejack said to us explaining their ignorance towards us as friends and not just some one-way trip to the triple G

"We're sorry, Twilight and Syera." Our friends said in unison. I had a smile on my face and looked at Twilight and she smiled as well and we both knew what had to be done.

"Spike, take down a note." Twilight said as he took out his quill and paper.

"Dear Princess Celestia, I've learned that one of the joys of friendship is sharing your blessings, but when there's not enough blessings to go around, having more than your friends can make you feel pretty awful." She said and I continued.

"So, though Me and Twilight appreciate the invitation, we will be returning both tickets to The Grand Galloping Gala." I said and with every other pony in shock. "What?!"

"If our friends can't all go, we don't wanna go either." Twilight finished the letter with.

"Twilight, Syera, you don't have to do that" Applejack said to us trying to make us reconsider but.

"Nope, to late, we made our decision. We don't wanna go if you can't too girls." I said with a confident smile.

"That's right, it'd be very boring without you ponies with us at the gala" Twilight said to them.

"But now you and Syera won't get to go to the gala either." Fluttershy said with a worried tone.

"It's okay, girls. Syera and I couldn't possibly enjoy ourselves without our best friends there with us, so me and her would rather not go at all." Twilight said with a smile along with me.

"That's right, we would miss it in a heartbeat if you couldn't come with us" Once I said that we all grouped hugged together, of course Spike doesn't like Sentiment so he stuck his tongue out in disgust.

"Hgh... hgh... urk... urk..." Spike then started to choke. I believe I know what's about to happen but AJ didn't as she walk towards him saying.

"Well wallop my withers, Spike. Isn't that just like a boy? Can't handle the least bit of sentiment."

Spike then let out a serious belch with fire near her head, good thing she ducked.

"Whoa Nelly!" AJ said and I chuckled a bit.

"Yeah, might wanna be careful when he starts to do that AJ. you could end up a crispy Apple" I said with a smirk.

"Hehe....yeah very funny" AJ said with an annoyed sarcastic tone.

"A letter from the princess? Wow that was fast." Twilight said with amazement.

"What's it say?" i asked then Spike read it.

"To my two Faithful Students Syera and Twilight, why didn't you say so in the first place?" Spike finished then pulled out 7 golden tickets to the Gala!

"Whoa! 7 tickets!" Spike said as he held them high and everypony gasped in excitement.

"Well it looks like we can all go after all!" I said with excitement but that was cut short when my stomach growled loudly and angry.

"Offt......but my stomach is saying otherwise...." I said holding it.

"Allow us to treat you to dinner darlings." Rarity Said to me and Twilight as each of us walked out the door and recieved our ticket.

"What a great way to apologize." Rainbow Dash said.

"And to celebrate. Come on everyone, the cupcakes are on me!" Pinkie said with a hop and a skip. but the only who didn't have an invite was Spike, or so I thought

"How come I don't get a ticket to the gala? Hurk!" He let out bigger belch with fire this time and another letter.

"And one for you, Spike." He said as he got his ticket and the started to giggle in joy, AJ gave him a smirk.

"I mean, gross, I have to go too?!" he said trying to be all tough but then he laughed and giggled along with Applejack.

"Well, alls well that ends well I suppose" I said with a chuckle as I saw my Seven friends before me as we finally were able to eat something. man....I just wonder what other shenanigans await in this place called "Ponyville".

Chapter 7: Returning the Favor Applejack! / Let's Get the Apple Bucking!

View Online

Last Time on Syera: The Forgotten Saiyan of Equestria ~

Twilight Sparkle and Syera went through the Crisis of who would get to accompany them on the trip to the Gala 3 months from now. However they both agreed to turn it down since there weren't enough invitations to go around for their five new friends, so they eventually declined and explained why to the Princess that if their friends can't go, they will not either.

However ~ that all changed with another single letter from the Princess.

"To my Faithful Students Twilight Sparkle and Syera: Why didn't you say something in the first place?" Spike announced pulling out 7 tickets for the Gala. And 1 more extra ticket for Spike from another letter which the Young Dragon acted like he didn't want to go but he gave up the tough guy act and was happy to go with his friends.

What awaits them on the days ahead Galloping to the Gala? Find out now!

Cue Intro Music ~ Returning the Favor Applejack! / Let's Get the Apple Bucking!

"Alright! Today is the Day" Syera said to herself as she then Transformed to Super Saiyan and got to training on the outskirts of Ponyville and Started running through her warm ups and then the really fun stuff.

"NOW! Banshee Blast!" She then held out her right out and fired beams of Energy from her fingertips and hit five designated targets she marked.

"Alright, that's getting better everyday I do it" She said blowing her fingertips from the smoke coming off them, even though she was wearing gloves, it still created a lot of energy.

"And for the next one, CELESTIAL WAVE!!" She said as she cupped her hands together to her sides gathering energy in her palms and then fired ahead with a Golden Destruction Wave ahead and destroyed a few dead trees on the edge of the Everfree Forest.

"Few....gotta be careful with that one, I remember what Celestia said to me when I first did it. 'Never put to much energy into the blast, it could destroy the entire world if you do'. But I wont let it come to that" Syera said wiping sweat off her face as she felt a bit drained from using that blast.

"Alright what's next? Hmm.....Oh yeah that one move I learned from King Kai." She said then focused and then her aura started to turn deep red.

"KAIOKEN!!" with that said she raced ahead in a red glow aura energy to a few practice dummies and ripped right through them with a full force punch and then the next one with a Kick sending them up in the air and then rushed up and kicked it down, at the last moment she got down before it and held her fist up and it impacted the dummy's back. she then threw it on the ground.

"I wonder, have I gotten stronger with my Ki, I'm gonna focus and power up from the start up in my Normal state; Then Super Saiyan" She said powering down to her normal range of power.

"Ngh....Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!" She took a stance and powered up to her maximum in her base form, once she maxed that out she then turned to Super Saiyan maxing out her Ki there, once she did, there was a few cracks and pops in her Aura as she was in her maximum power.

"So....this is my maximum huh? Impressive if I do say so myself. But can I go higher?" Syera wondered as she was amazed how much Super Saiyan has impacted her power. She bets that Celestia is proud she has become such a strong warrior. She then powered down to her normal power, its a lot of strain to keep up that much power on her body.

However, after she was wrapping up her training.

"Wait, what's that? the grounds shaking!" She says in shock.

"Oh man, I hope me powering up didn't mess with anything in the planet!" She then flew back over head to Ponyville but as she did, she saw what was happening and what it was was a Stamped. Her and Rainbow Dash saw it.

"STAMPEDE!" Rainbow Dash shouted as her and Syera saw a herd of cows rushing towards town.

"Well then!" Syera said rushing off and flew by the side of the herd thinking of what to do.

Ponies started panicking and run to cover in their houses.

"Hey...! This makes my voice sound silly!" Pinkie shouted in a vibrating laughing voice as she bounced from the ground shaking.

"Pinkie Pie, are you crazy?! Run!" Twilight shouted to her as she ran for cover herself

"Everypony calm down. There is no need to panic." Mayor Mare tried her best to calm down the ponies in the town.

"But Mayor, whatever shall we do?" Rarity asked in a terrified manor.

"Look there!" Rainbow said as she pointed a hoof at something in a distance.

"Come on.......there's gotta be a way to stir these gals away from town!" Syera said in a frustrated tone since she never herded cows before.

"YEEHAW!" Applejack screamed in her cheerful country flare tone which surprised Syera.

"Applejack!?" Syera said in shock as she saw her friend at her side.

Ponies started to cheer on for the two of them to get the herd away from Ponyville.

"Move aside, Winona. Put 'em up, girl! and Syera, you're with me up in front!" AJ shouted to Syera.

"Got it!" Syera said to Applejack as she went up front flying along side Applejack

"Come on, little dogies! Turn!" AJ stated as she then whistle for Winona to get ahead of the pack on the front cow leading the herd.

"Winona, put 'em up! Ha hah! Gotcha." Applejack said as she roped the first cow and then dragged it to the right away from Ponyville with the rest of the herd following

"Attagirl. Yee haw!" AJ cheered as it was working.

"Alright! We got this!" Syera also cheered to see it was working.

"Whoaaa." AJ said as we came to a sharp stop making the stamped end.

"Hooie. Good Work Syera, Winona" AJ said to the both us and Winona gave a cheerful bark

"Now what in the hay was that all about?" AJ then stated as she face the cows and Syera crossed her arms wondering that as well.

The Cow known as Daisy Jo then answered but mooed first clearing her throat then spoke.

"Oh my! Begging your pardon, Applejack, but Mooriella here saw one of those nasty snakes." She stated and then the cows were startled a bit and Syera braced herself and said.

"Hey don't worry, Im sure its gone now after all that commotion you caused" She said with a bit of a chuckle and smile to them.

"We're honestly sorry, it just gave us all the willies, don'tcha know." Daisy Jo stated.

"We completely understand. Just next time, try and steer clear of Ponyville." Applejack asked calmly and collectively to Daisy Jo.

"We certainly will, Applejack. So long, Winona! you too Syera" The cows then made their way back to the meadows, hopefully they wont get startled a another snake.

The Ponies in Ponyville then cheered for the three heroes as they headed back into Ponyville.

"Yee haw!" Applejack said as she was being applauded for by the other ponies.

"Yee haw! Ride 'em, cowpony!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed as she hoped around us.

"Applejack and Syera were just... just..." Mayor Mare said as she tried to find the word but Pinkie answered for her

"AppleSaiyantastic!" Pinkie said mixing both of their types together.

"Awh shucks, it was no biggey" Syera said rubbing the back of her head slowly.

"Oh but it was. We must do something to thank you and Applejack for single-hoofedly saving the town."

"I know!" Pinkie shouted

"A Party!" Pinkie said and the following week Town hall was filled with all the ponies in town ready to thank and award Applejack and Syera for their Heroic act.

"Well this is really nice, thanks Pinkie Pie" Syera said thanking her friend for such an event.

"We all ready?" Twilight asked Rarity as she was putting the final touches on the event.

"Just one last thing. Now we're ready." Rarity said as she finished up.

"Is Applejack all set?" Twilight asked wondering where she is at.

"Actually, I haven't seen her all week." Rainbow Dash stated and they began to wonder what is she up to or doing?

"Not since the stampede." Pinkie Pie adding on to Rainbow's comment.

"Odd, I wonder what she is up too?" Syera asked wondering why they're country friend hasn't been heard from that much.

"But she'll be here for sure. Applejack is never late" Rainbow exclaimed believing in her friend's morals/.

"Yeah, I sure hope she isn't late, I don't want to take all the credit for saving the town and all" Syera said feeling bad for taking all the glory for it was her friend who did most of the work.

Twilight Sparkle then walked up to the podium in on the steps in front of town hall.

"Welcome, everypony! Today we are here to honor a pony we can always count on to help in matters great and small. A pony whose contributions to--" She was cut off by Rainbow Dash coming on the podium.

"Did you see Applejack's slick moves out there? What an athlete. This week she's gonna help me with my new flying trick, and I know it's gonna be so awesome." She stated then Twilight took her place back on the Podium.

"Exactly. And..." She interrupted by Pinkie Pie this time.

"This week, I get to run Sugarcube Corner for the first time." Pinkie said in a cheerful tone.

"What does that have to do with Applejack?" Twi asked putting her hooves on her sides wondering what Pinkie mean't.

"Oh. Applejack, one of the best bakers ever, is gonna help me. Applejack makes everything great, so free samples for everypony!" Pinkie stated and the ponies cheered excitedly to sample free baked goods.

"Oh-kay, that's great. Now if I could just make a point without being inter--:" Twilight was about to continue as she pushed the goofy Pinkie Pie off the Podium but then.....

"Twilight?" it was Fluttershy's turn to interrupt her now, oh boy

"--rupted. What is it Fluttershy?" Twilight asked stepping of for Fluttershy to go on.

"Twilight, I'm so sorry, but I just wanted to mention that Applejack is also helping me this week with the official bunny census, where we count up all the new baby bunnies that were born this season. She's gonna help gather them using her wonderful herding skills." Fluttershy stated and then stepped off back in the crowd with Syera and the other six with Spike.

"Anyone else? Anyone? No? Well then, as I was trying to say... Urgh! Never mind." Twilight finally just raged off stage as she was interrupted by the mayor with her flash cards flying everywhere.

"Ah-ahem. And so, with no further ado, it is my privilege to give the prize, Pony of Ponyville Award, to our beloved guests of honor, a pony and Saiyan of the utmost trustworthiness, reliability, and integrity. Ponyville's most capable and dependable friends: Syera and Applejack!" With that said the ponies started to cheer when Syera stepped on stage but something was wrong. Where's Applejack?

"Cool! Way to go Applejack, that was awesome! I mean-- heh." Spike stated as he was the last one clapping in the crowd.

"Ah-ahem." The Mayor cleared her throat and Syera shrugged and didn't have any idea where AJ she is.

"Awkward." Spike whispered to Twilight and Rarity who were in the front of the crowd and Syera nodded in agreement, but then;

"I'm here. I'm here. [yawn] [sigh] Sorry I'm late--whoa--I was just... whoa... Did I get your tail? Miss Mayor. Thank you kindly for this here... award thingy and Syera's kind......" She then paused in speech and yawned "

"It's so bright and shiny and, heh, heh heh, I sure do look funny don't I? heh. Ooo-ooo." AJ stated and started making delirious faces in the trophy's shinny gold reflective finish.

"Woo-ooo". Pinkie then chimed in with AJ on stage and Syera just felt so embarrassed and face palmed.

"Okay. Well, thank you Applejack for saving us from that scary stampede, and always being there for everypony." Twilight stated to Applejack and then she snapped back and then stated with yawns in between.

".....Yeah. I like helping the ponyfolks and...... and stuff...... Oh, uh, yeah. Uh, Thanks." Applejack said and then took the trophy which left a very heavy sound of metal being dragged.

"Was it just me, or did Applejack seem a little--" Twilight stated and each of her friends and Syera stated an answer.

"Tired?" Dash said

"Dizzy?" Fluttershy then added

"Messy? Well, did you see her mane?" Rarity said worrying about fashion as she does most of the time that she does.

"I was thinking she had a tornado hit her with a full force cyclone of dirt and shizz." Syera added.

"She seemed fine to me. Woo! Woo!" Pinkie said jumping around in joy as she does.

"Hmm." Twilight then hummed and began to wonder what was wrong with AJ and Syera walked next to her and looked down at her and Nodded in agreement that they must do something to figure out what's wrong with Applejack.

"Phew......O-oah. nelly...." AJ stated as she was bucking a tree she had already knocked all the apples out of.

"What on Earth is that pony doing?" Twilight asked.

"Beats me, but whatever it is, she is being drained of a lot of her energy, I don't know how long she can keep this up." Syera added as they then walked over to AJ

"Whoops." AJ said almost falling over and then pretty much started to fall asleep neying a bit.

"Hey Applejack!" Twilight shouted but she continued to snore.

"Applejack?" Syera added shaking her a bit as she stood up asleep still snoring away.

"On the count of 3......1.....2.... AppleJACK!!!" Syera and Twilight both shouted in their friend's face and she woke up.

"Oh, howdy, Twilight......Syera." She said then getting a grip and staying awake to talk to us.

"What is all this about?" Twilight asked her as AJ then started to walk away.

"It's Applebuck season. Whoa." AJ stated and then almost tripped over her own hooves, she was exhausted and Syera could tell from her current energy level dropping.

"Applewhat season?" Syera then asked wondering what she meant

"Neh, It's what the Apple family calls harvestin' time. We gather all the apples from the trees so we can sell 'em." AJ stated as she then began work on the next tree in her vast orchard

"But why are you doing it all alone?" Twilight asked her cause it seemed next to impossible for one pony to get all these apples by herself.

"'cause Big McIntosh hurt himself." She stated with a straight forward tone.

"What about all those relatives we've met when I first came to Ponyville? Can't they help?" Syera asked her wondering where they are.

"They were just here for the Apple family reunion. They actually live all over Equestria and are busy harvestin' their own orchards. So, uh, I'm on my own. Which means, I should really get back to work." She stated and Twi and Syera looked at each other with gritted teeth and worried expressions.

"Ahem... hint hint? Get back to work?" AJ said to the both of them with a smile.

"Fine." Twilight said then we both stepped aside from her.

"Could you step aside, guys?" AJ stated but problem is, her and Syera both did step out of her way.

"We just did. Applejack, you don't look so good." Twilight said to her delirious friend.

"Eh, don't any of you three worry none, I'm just fine and dandy. Whoa." AJ said, wait, there's three Twilights in her eyes?

"Do you... want some help?" Twilight then asked her.

"Help? No way, no how." AJ stated with a serious look in her eye, being stubborn that she is.

"But there's no way you can do it all on your own." Twilight said near her friend trying to lend a hoof.

"Is that a challenge?" AJ said with a serious tone while getting in Twilight's face.

"Uhm... no?" Twilight said in a bit of fear, then Syera stepped in with her arms crossed.

"Yeah, that is a challenge, I bet you can't buck and harvest all these apples by yourself, once you break your gonna come crying to help and when that happens, I'll rub it so far up your flank your gonna wish you asked sooner." Syera said with a smirk and soft glare in her eye.

"Well, I'm gonna prove to you wrong Syera! That I can do it all by myself and with nopony else's help! Now if you'll excuse me, I've got apples to buck!" AJ said then went off to tree to tree and got to work. However Twilight wasn't really satisfied with Syera's decision.

"Did you have to anger her like that, you know she'll get even more determined to do this right?" Twi said with a glare.

"Hey at this point, it's a game and if she gives in, I win, and she knows it. So till her energy drops to a point where she can't even walk anymore or buck anymore, then we'll help. And She'll learn alright." Syera said with a smirk.

"Ehhh.....fine, let's go then." Twilight stated, and so on each day that has passed, Rainbow Dash was launched on the Library's balcony, Pinkie Pie sold disgusting Cupcakes that tasted like fermented hairing dipped in cat piss, then Fluttershy had problems gathering up the new bushels of baby bunnies born this time of year since AJ chased them around to where they stamped Ponyville.

"The horror, the horror." We heard Rose say in a complete dramatic voice.

"It was awful." Lily Valley stated to us.

"A disaster. A horrible, horrible disaster" Daisy stated and there wasn't much damage that was done to the town, but to their gardens and crops.

"I don't get it." Twilight and Syera said with a blank expression and tone.

"Our gardens, destroyed." Lily stated and then Syera and Twilight turned their necks and looked.

"Every last flower, devoured!" Rose said followed with Daisy finishing with. "By... by... THEM!"

We looked and we saw the new bunnies foraging like.....well rabbits would.

"Oh my. Oh... Please stop, little bunnies. Oh no! Please, let's go home. Oh my goodness." Fluttershy stated as she tried gathering up the tiny bunnies, Syera helped with gathering them up.

"All right. Enough is enough!" Twilight said with a serious expression.

"Right! its time to gather our friends together and stop this madness!" Syera stated as Her, Twilight, Fluttershy, Rarity, Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie then went over to Sweet Apple Acres to help their friend in need of serious help.

"Must..... keep...... buckin'... just...... a few....... more. Must finish harvestin'." Applejack said as she was nearly drained of every last bit of energy she had.

"All right, Applejack. Your applebucking hasn't just caused you problems, it's over-propelled Pegasus', practically poisoned plenty of ponies, and terrorized bushels of brand new bouncing baby bunnies. I don't care what you say, you. Need. Help." Twilight stated with a serious tone to her country-flare friend.

Applejack then retorted with a grunt. "Ha! No, I don't. Look, I did it. I harvested the entire Sweet Apple Acres without your help. How d'ya like them apples?"

"Um, how do you like them apples?" Syera and Big Macintosh happen to say at the same time and pointed to the other half of the orchard filled with trees containing Apples on em.

This caused AJ to have a serious mental breakdown.

"Where'd all the apple...? eh...de....ah.....Oah...." AJ said mumbling then basically collapsed at Syera's feet and Twilight's Hooves.

"Applejack. Applejack?" Twilight said trying to get her attention.

"Huh?" AJ mumbled snapping out of it.

"Oh, good, you're okay. Now Applejack, I completely respect the Apple family ways. You're always there to help anypony in need, so maybe you can put a little of your stubborn pride aside and allow your friends to help you."

"OK......" AJ said, Syera heard it and then was like.

"Wait, what was that AJ? We didn't quite catch that?" Syera said getting close to AJ to confirm what she said.

"Yes, Syera..... Twilight. Yes, please. I could really use your help all of you" AJ said laying on the ground with her too front hooves cupped together pleading for our help. With that said, Syera got her to bed and then stated.

"Don't worry AJ, We got this" Syera stated and her and the rest of the 6 mare got together and worked hard, all together.

"Now this is more like it, the training I need." Syera said going from one tree after another kicking it with enough each set of apples. along with Rainbow Dash doing the same along with her and Twilight and Rarity using their magic to get the apples out of the trees along with Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy wheeling them away together in the carts filled with the bundles of apples.

"How about y'all take a little break? I got some fine apple juice waitin' for ya!" Applejack said and they all gathered around and got their apple juice.

"I thought you were asleep AJ." Syera said.

"I was. don't worry, I feel way better than before and....Girls, I can't thank you enough for this help. I was acting a bit stubborn." Applejack stated and we smirked and all said.

"A bit?!" We then all laughed a bit

"Okay. A mite stubborn, and I'm awful sorry. Now, I know the town gave me and Syera the Prized Pony award, but the real award is having you six as my friends."

"Phew! That applebucking sure made me hungry." Rainbow Dash said.

"Yeah, I agree with you on that one Dashie" Syera said to Dash.

"And I've got the perfect treat." Spike Said as he then pulled out a plate of those rotten worms infested muffins that Pinkie and Applejack made earlier in the week."

"Eeew... Spike, I threw those all away. Where'd you get them?" Pinkie asked with disgust.

"From the trash." Spike said proudly

"EW!" Is what they all said. Syera had an idea.

"Just a little nibble? Come on" Spike begged.

"No sir way!" Syera then kicked the plate out of Spike's claws sending the muffins flying up and she blasted them to ashes.

"Banshee Blast!" She state as she pointed her finger tips at the rotten muffins and disintegrated them making sure nothing remains of those abominations of muffins.

"Alright Syera!" The six ponies cheered for her and she blushed a little bit.

"Awh, it's nothing girls, really, now let's hurry and eat! I'm starving!" Syera said complaining a bit and they all laughed as their stomachs growled in unison.

Find out now!

Cue Intro Music - A Saiyan Plus Griffon = Prank War

"Hoof-biting action overload! She was like a stunt superstar, flying higher and higher, and then Rainbow Dash swooped down--swoosh--and right before she hit the ground--shoom-she pulled up--vrrrmmm!" Pinkie stated as she talked about how Rainbow Dash's stunts and how amazingly awesome they were."

"Uh-huh" Twilight said dryly as she read her book.

"Was it like this?" Syera asked as she flew around a bit fast in the area of the park they were in.

"Yeah! almost but it was more like she looped around and around like whoo whoo whoo whoo whoo whoo whoo!" Pinkie then explained further.

"That sounds awesome! maybe she can teach me how to do that." Syera said with an excited tone in her voice.

"Oh look! there she is now!" Pinkie then stated and then chased after Rainbow Dash as she flew past them.

"Rainbow Dash!" Pinkie shouted to her and she looked her way.

"Maybe I should follow these two, just see what they're up to. See ya later Sis." Syera said to Twilight.

"Alright, see ya back home." Twilight said as she waved to her sister goodbye for now.

"Pinkie Pie...? not again...." Rainbow Dash mumbled to herself as she saw Pinkie trying to talk to her.

"Rainbow Dash!"

"Not now Pinkie Pie!"

"But Rainbow Dash!"

"I'm in the middle of Something!"

"Huh? Wait Rainbow Dash!" Syera then shouted out to her.

"Syera you too?! can't you two see that I'm augh!" Rainbow Dash then crashed into the side of the Mountain.

"Dash! you alright?!" Syera said in shock of what just happened.

"I was trying to warn you about that mountain Dashie" Pinkie stated to her

"Ugh....." Rainbow Dash groaned a bit in pain and annoyance and got up and flew away grumbling something, it wasn't pleasant that is what Syera and Pinkie knew.

"Maybe we should let her cool off Pinkie." Syera said to her and Pinkie nodded in agreement.

"Yeah but there was something I wanted to ask her to help me with, maybe you can help me as well. Please?" Pinkie then asked Syera.

"As the element of Courage, I'll do what I can see through this request. I'll help you." Syera said with a smile.

"Alright! I'm gonna go look for Rainbow Dash so I can ask her, come on let's go find her." Pinkie said with a smile.

"Yeah but let's wait till she blows off some steam, like half an hour then go look for her." Syera stated.

Close to Half an hour later, Pinkie Pie started to ask where Dash is, while Syera was watching from a distance on the rooftops of some of the small Ponyville shops and homes.

"Hi, I'm looking for Rainbow Dash. Have you seen her?" Pinkie Pie asked one Pony in the market, little did she know that Dash was on a Cloud up above.

"Twilight, have you seen Rainbow Dash anywhere?" Pinkie then asked Twilight

"Isn't she right up there?" Twilight stated to Pinkie now informing her where Rainbow Dash is.

"Here we go." Syera stated since she now knows something is gonna happen outta this so she readied herself to follow the two ponies.

"Crap!" Rainbow Dash then flew away fast and Pinkie Pie did a simple little hop and skip, almost like it was just a game between a cat and mouse......or in this case a Pinkie Pie and a Rainbow Dash.

"Phew...." Rainbow Dash said as she flew and landed towards Sweet Apple Acres near one of the barns.

"Hi!" Pinkie said behind her.

"How did she move so fast?" Syera wondered as she followed behind her two friends, eventually Rainbow Dash came to a stop at the lake after that whole chase.

Or so she thought.

"I need a favor Rainbow Dash." Pinkie said as she came out the bottom of the lake.

"Agh~ ugh.....fine." Dash said giving up in defeat.

"I was wondering when this wild goose chase would end." Syera said to her two pony friends as she floated down on her two feet, arms crossed as well.

"Wait.....you were watching the whole time Syera?!" Rainbow asked her Saiyan friend.

"Yup, since Pinkie Pie asked me for a favor as well, she needed yours and my help for this "thing" she has planned." Syera said to her Pegasus friend.

The ponies and Saiyan went over Pinkie's plan over at Townhall.

"A little to the left.....now a little to the right! now keep moving leftish but sort of right.....stop! ok a few centimeters north....now a just a few smigimeters to the~" Rainbow Dash had a enough of Pinkie's wacky commands and screamed.

"Pinkie Pie!!!!" Dash said in annoyance.

"Uh I mean.....Perfect!" Pinkie Pie said with a smile.

"So what are we doing again? and why I have to keep an eye on Spike." Syera asked as she was kneeled down by Townhall's postal area window. To spy on Spike, who was collecting scrolls and humming a little tune to himself.

"You'll see, ok.....now Rainbow Dash!" Pinkie stated as Spike then walked out the door as Syera gave them the signal and Rainbow struck the cloud and thunder and lightning shot out.

"Ahhhh!!!" Spike shrieked a bit and dropped his scrolls, then he started to get......hiccups?

Pinkie Pie, Syera and Dash all started laughing.

"Wow! Pinkie, how did you know Spike would get the hiccups!" Syera laughed hard slapping her knee.

"I didn't, I just wanted to give him a good scare!" Pinkie said still laughing.

"Ha! good one girls, you really pulled a fast one on me~ Hic!" Spike said in-between Hiccups and started picking up the scrolls, but as he did, he accidentally lit them on fire.

"Oh crap! Spike you alright?" Syera asked as she floated over to him.

"Yeah, Dragons are hic~! Fireproof" He said as he picked up another scroll but hiccuped and lit it on fire again!

"Wish the same for scrolls though." Spike said with a realization of how the scrolls are.

"Here, let me help you Spike" Syera said as she picked up most of the scrolls for him but and gave him to em but he hiccuped again setting all them on fire.

"I got a bad feeling about this Spike." Syera said since usually when Spike lights scrolls on fire, they get sent to one pony in particular, Celestia, who is probably tending to royal duties and helping out Luna get adjusted to life in Equestria now since Nightmare Moon was a threat.

"Yeah, hopefully we can write another letter explaining what happened." Spike said then laughing and so did Syera.

"So I guess I'll see you and Twilight back at the Library later Spike?" Syera asked her little Dragon friend, or to her, He's like a Brother kinda like how Twilight is her Sister.

"Yeah, and good prank, never saw it coming." Spike said and waved goodbye to Syera as he took what scrolls he had left back home to the treehouse library.

"Hey Syera! wanna hang out with me and Pinkie Pie?" Dashie asked her as she and Pinkie we standing side by side each other.

"Oh yeah, of course. are more pranks involved?" Syera asked stretching and cracking her knuckles.

"Great! cause we're gonna have lots of fun!" Pinkie Pie said with a smile and Syera nodded and they all hoofbumped to the idea of hanging out.

The three soon went to the prank parlor and walked out with basket fulls of nik-naks and funny prank items.

"Oh boy this is gonna be good."

"Is she home?"

"Oh she is alright, I can sense her energy, wait she's coming to the door."

"There she is! heheehe!"

The three placed a banquet of flowers in front of Rarity's door at her Boutique. She opened the door and smelled the flowers. little did she know.....

"Hmm....huh...aa...Achoo! Achoooo!! aahh...ah ah....Achoo!" Rarity was sneezing uncontrollably since the flowers had sneezing powder in them.

This caused a chuckle from the three of them and Rarity looked over at them and back at the flowers and laughed a bit as well.

Pinkie then sneezed as Rainbow had the powder thrown in the air and some was in front of where Pinkie's airways were in her nose and made her sneeze very far.

Syera then waved goodbye to Rarity and ran after Dash and Pinkie.

Next was Applejack, they decided with some paint to paint part of the orchards apples multicolored, they looked beautifully colored but so random and odd.

"Huh?! Land-sakes!" AJ screamed out as she saw her apples looking like this. this caused a laugh from the three jokers, but Applejack retorted to throwing a few at them. the one thrown at Syera were good practice in speed in strength.

Syera kicked and punched each apple into pieces and grabbed the last one AJ threw at her, washed it in some water that was in a barrel and took a bite out of it since the paint washed off.

"Hahaha!" AJ then chuckled from this, so she knew just wash the apples off before selling them.

Twilight was next.

"I got this one guys, wait here." Syera said as she put two fingers on her forehead and teleported inside and switched the ink Twilight had for writing for the ink that disappears right after you scribble something down on paper.

"Ok, here we go, wait for it." Pinkie said as Syera teleported back with the other ink.

Twilight wrote some notes down for the chemistry set she was working with, but the notes disappeared, so when she looked back, she was confused and looked back at her chem set and then back at her notes, but then the formula exploded but not causing too much damage.

This caused big laughter out of the three pranksters.

Syera soon gave Twilight her ink back so she could continue her work.

Next the three were near the lake with a fake animal prop that would squirt water at its victim when they're close.

"Oh boy oh boy! who's over there!? who we gonna squirt!" Pinkie asked as Dash looked through a telescope.

"Hehe.....Fluttershy." Dash said with a chuckle.

"Wait! you sure that's a good idea, Fluttershy has a very sensitive nature Dash, I don't think she'll be happy about this." Syera said.

"You're absolutely right Syera, even just a small prank could upset Fluttershy." Pinkie said agreeing with Syera.

"Yeah you're both right...pfft.....So, who should we prank next?" Dash asked.

"Oh I think I have someone in mind." Syera said with a smirk.

"Oh yeah you mean her? the one who is the toughest around." Pinkie said chuckling

"Really? who is it? do I know her?" Dash asked, little did she know.

"Oh yeah trust me you do, you're very close with her." Syera said pointing at the water and Dash looked and she had a black paint ring around her eye from the telescope.

"Oh ha-ha! good one girls." She said putting her two front hooves for high-hoofs or high-five in Syera's case but the pulled back at the last minute.

The three eventually dabbed one good one and all laughed, they soon parted ways and promised to meet up again the next day for more fun and pranks.

(The Next Morning)

Syera woke up early like she usually does to go train and such, however she happened to come across her pink pony friend with a weird mask getup for Syera's money, probably a prank.

"Morning Pinkie Pie, what's with that getup?" Syera said as she flew next to Pinkie Pie and walked with her.

"Oh its for this Prank I planned on, but I need help from you and Dashie. its gonna be so awesome!" Pinkie Pie explained and they soon arrived at Dash's place.

"Rise and shine Rainbow Dash! today is a new day for a whole lot of pranking!" Pinkie said up to her house pretty loudly but then a bird-like creature showed itself instead of her.

"Ooo....." Pinkie stated in amazement of this creature.

"Who is that?" Syera asked and Pinkie shrugged on that one.

"Oh hey girls! good morning! this my old friend Gilda, she's passing by for a bit, I thought I show her around Ponyville."

"What's up?" Gilda said in a real tough girl tone.

"You're a griffon aren't you? I've studied your species before. very Fascinating." Syera stated crossing her arms at her with a smirk.

"Yeah, and were a whole lot of awesome too. and who might or what might you be? I've never seen anything like you before." Gilda stated.

"This is Syera, she is a species known as a Saiyan, and she is a whole lot's of awesome too since she can transform." Rainbow Dash explained to her friend.

"Transform? what do you mean?" Gilda asked and totally interested.

"Go on! show us Syera! your Super Saiyan Transformation."

"Oh that....alright, I have been practicing it a bit lately in my training so.....I should be able to show you just once." Syera said with a smirk and then put on a serious face.

"Oh G, here it comes." Dash said as she saw that look in Syera's eyes before she transforms, and then......

"Ha!" Syera then flexed a bit and soon unleashed her Super Saiyan form, Her gold aura showed first, then the Eye-color change from her regular dark-green eye-color to that bright blue which covers her iris and pupils. then her hair moving and getting a bit more spikier then turning bright gold.

"This what you wanted to see?" Syera asked as her tone of voice was a bit lower pitched and more menacing sounding.

"Whoa.....now that is cool." Gilda said with a bit of shock as her feathers ruffled up a bit.

"It so is! which reminds me! it could be used in the prank I had in mind! wanna help out Syera?"

"Well yeah of course Pinkie" Syera said then turning back to normal and had her normal expression on her face unlike the serious one in her Super Saiyan state.

"What about you Rainbow Dash?" Pinkie asked.

"Actually, Im sorry girls, but I promised Gilda I'd take her on a flying session and hang out a bit with her. So hopefully later we can alright." Dash said to decline they're offer.

"Oh...Ok, I'll guess we'll catch up later then." Pinkie said sadly.

"Syera, you're fast too, wanna come with us flying?" Dash asked her Saiyan friend.

"Sorry, but I'd rather be with Pinkie Pie at the moment, plus if I raced you, you'd probably have a hard time keeping up with my Speed. probably mostly Gilda cause I've raced you Dash and you have beat me a few times." Syera said with a smirk.

"Wait! how can you be sure you'd beat me?! And how can you fly? you don't have wings!" Gilda exclaimed at Syera.

"You're half right about having wings, but it takes a little more knowledge and training to know how to fly without wings. like this." Syera then explained and then lifted off the ground a bit and sat in the air with her arms crossed.

"Oh yeah? race me here and now to that cloud!" Gilda offered and challenged Syera, not believing her speed.

"Alright, you wanna enjoy the show Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash?" Syera asked them.

"Heck yeah!" both exclaimed excited to see, but Rainbow Dash smirked a lot since she knew who was gonna win.

"From here.....to that cloud." Gilda said.

"Alright....3...2..1 go!" Syera said and they both took off but Syera was so quick that she was already standing on the cloud before Gilda even got there.

"Ah Ha! wait....what the?!" Gilda was surprised.

"Ehahahaa!! So awesome Syera, you still got it." Rainbow Dash shouted from down below.

Gilda gritted her teeth a bit and then said.

"Rematch! from here to that Mountain top! ready?!" Gilda stated.

"Ok then, sounds easy enough." Syera then took a ready stance. and this time Rainbow Counted us off and Pinkie had some balloons wrappef around her so she could be in the air too.

"Oooo! this is gonna be good!" Pinkie said in excitement.

"Yeah, alright! 3.....2......1! Go!"

Then the two were off. the mountain was not much of a hike for their speeds, but Syera was much quicker. and got there in half the time than Gilda took to reach the top.

"Aha! what?! again! no way!" Gilda exclaimed as she found Syera just chilling and relaxing on top.

"Oh there you are, I was wondering if you were gonna show up? good race." Syera stated with a smirky face as she stood up from laying down.

"All right Syera!" Rainbow Dash said in cheer.

"Alright, that's enough for me for one day, if were not pranking Im gonna go train. Hey Pinkie Pie, wanna come watch me?" Syera asked her.

"Oh sure yeah! and maybe we'll get some milkshakes afterwards!" Pinkie Pie said with a smile as she was floating with our balloons.

"Sounds awesome, so while you two continue to fly, me and Pinkie Pie will be hanging." Syera said to Dash.

"Yeah, sounds cool, and maybe we'll all meet up later." Rainbow Dash stated to them.

"Alright, let's go Pinkie." Syera said to her pink pony friend but then Syera then called to her.

"Hey, I will admit, your kind is pretty fast." Gilda said with a smirk.

"Same goes for your kind as well along." Syera said back and soon waved goodbye to Gilda and Dash and left with Pinkie Pie.

(Later that day)

Syera decided to go for a walk in the park when all of a sudden.

"Huh? whoa!" Syera then jumped backwards as a small helicopter-like contraption came down.

"Pinkie Pie?! are you ok?!" Syera then saw Pinkie in the wreckage of it.

"Yeah I'm fine.....just very mad" She said as she got up and dusted herself off, luckily she is a tough pony as Syera saw for herself from how energetic she is and such else.

"About what? crashing this weird contraption you got here?" Syera asked her Pink Pony friend.

"Well that and Gilda.....I was only trying to hang with her and Rainbow Dash, at first I was using balloons to keep up with them but then she popped them and then I used this and then she made me crash by stopping the propeller and told me to "buzz off!" She explained to Syera.

"She what?! you gotta be kidding me.......I knew there was something off about her......mmpf!" Syera said as she punched her one fist into the palm of her other hand with anger.

"I can't harm her since Rainbow Dash won't be happy if I do." Syera said to Pinkie.

"Don't worry, we won't need violence for this Syera, its time to handle this situation Pinkie Pie style!" Pinkie exclaimed to Syera and then she went on and explained to her Saiyan friend who then nodded and hummed in agreement and went with her Pink Pony friend's idea.

"Alright, you sure this is a good idea for this situation Pinkie?" Syera asked as she put some finishing touches to the setup Pinkie had planned in sugarcube corner.

"Yeah! a party is always a great solution for this!" Pinkie exclaimed to Syera.

Syera shrugged and just went with it and soon ponies were showing up and Pinkie greeting them as they walked in. "Welcome! Welcome!" Pinkie said each time a guest arrived. Then soon.....the guest of honor arrived.

There was of course small talk about Gilda and such before she came, some was questions about her and what she looked like. That she was a Griffon and....yada yada yada....anyway.

"Gilda! glad you could make it, So honored to throw you one of my signature parties! I really and truly, sincerely, hope you feel very welcome among us pony folk." Pinkie exclaimed to Gilda as she shook her clawed up front paw but then she got herself quite a shock from it.

"Haha! oh Pinkie Pie, the good ol' hoof-shake buzzer!" Rainbow Dash laughed whole hardily at.

"Yeah....heh, good one indeed Pinkie Pie" Gilda said as she was obviously not expecting that at all and kinda let it get to her.

Rainbow then offered to introduce some of her other friends to Gilda and such but then turned and face Pinkie.

"I know what you're up to...." She said angrily.

"Do you now?" Syera then asked as she floated over softly with a smirk on her face as did Pinkie with her smile.

"Well if she does Syera, then that's Great." Pinkie Pie smiled.

Of course this made Gilda even more triggered. "I know what you're planning, both of you."

"Well you better, this party wasn't a Surprise ya know." Syera said to her.

"Yup, right on with what she said." Pinkie added.

"In that case, I got my on you two." Gilda said with an angry expression then Syera and Pinkie got in her face and said.

"And We, got our eye on you too." Of course Pinkie did some sort of eye popping thing which Syera and I'm sure no one else gets but it definitely got the point across.

"Hey Everypony, I'd like you to meet Gilda, a dear long-time friend of Rainbow Dash, honor her and welcome her among us in Ponyville!" Pinkie said and the ponies cheered on.

"Help yourself Gilda, you deserve it." Syera said giving an honest look and smile, its not usual of her to do so but for this occasion, she had to, because of what comes next is gonna be really, really hilarious and sweet.

"When it comes to treats like Vanilla Lemon drops, I'm down, don't mind it I do." She said and then ate one, only to find they were spiked with pepper.

"HOT!!!" She shrieked and ran for some punch, but to make it worse, the cup she grabbed, Syera used her Ki energy and shot a small beam into the cup and it disintegrated a small hole in the cup so the liquid escaped out before she could chug the thing down.

Pinkie winked at Syera who saw what she did and thought it was priceless and laughed.

"Whaddya know, pepper in the vanilla lemon drops along with the punch served in a dribble glass." this line from Pinkie caused the other ponies to laugh.

"Hahaha!" Syera laughed a bit whole heartedly but then stopped and kept her cool.

"Yeah....heh, Hilarious" Gilda said as she finally got a drink in her system to cancel out the pepper taste.

Soon there were some presents to be passed out.

"Hey G, Presents!" Rainbow Dash said and then Syera handed her one of them.

"You do the honors" She said to her and when she opened it, it happened to be the fake peanut brittle jar and it was filled with springing snakes that pop out and shock ya, in this case it just made Gilda's Feathers pop up and get really messy, still causing laughter.

"Hah! somepony pulled that prank last month on me." Applejack exclaimed and laughed.

"Yeah, I wonder who." Gilda said dryly and was not amused.

"Yeah, I wonder who too." Syera said putting a hand to her chin.

Later in the party, Syera helped Pinkie Pie bring out a cake from the back.

"Cake time everypony" Pinkie announced to all the ponies in the room.

"Oo! can I blow out the candles!" Spike asked excitedly.

"Why don't we let Gilda here blow em out Spike, she is our very honored guest after all." Syera said with a wink to Pinkie and she winked back.

"Yeah, so outta my way!" Gilda said as she bumped Spike out of the way. she then took a wiff of air and blew at the candles getting them out in one burst of air. but all of a sudden, they re-lit and she saw and blew them out again and they re-lit each time she blew them out causing everyone to laugh.

"Ha! relightable candles! priceless!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed as she saw this trick.

"Ah man, these pranks are just so amazing." Syera said smacking her knee and holding her stomach.

"Yeah, I wonder who pulled this one" Gilda said looking at Pinkie and Syera.

"Mm...who cares, this cake is amazing!" Spike said as he dug a tunnel in it eating it and appeared at the top.

"Spike!" Twilight exclaimed as he did that.

"What? it is!" Spike said with a smile and all the ponies and Syera laughed and dug in the cake.

As Pinkie and Syera were enjoying some of the cake, Gilda pulled them aside, forcefully which caught Syera off guard.

"Im watching you two like a Hawk...." She said threatening them.

"Why not like a Griffon?" Syera said with a smile that was just as innocent like Pinkie's

"Yeah, why a hawk when you're a Griffon." Pinkie said but she then let the two go and act like nothing was wrong when Applejack announced the next game.

"Hey everyone, its time to pin the tail on the pony." Applejack said with a smile.

"Oh can I go first? I just so love this game." Rarity said but then Gilda stepped in the way.

"I say I go first since I am the guest of honor." Gilda exclaimed as she took the tail in hand.

"Alright if you insist Gilda." Pinkie said and Syera then took Gilda and blind folded her.

"Wait, what are you doing?" Gilda said as she didn't like what was going on.

"Were gonna spin ya a few times around and then we'll let ya go." Syera said with a smile and enjoyed this part since she spun Gilda very fast with her raw strength which was very rough and it spun her almost in the floor.

"Alright, now just walk straight ahead and pin the tail." Pinkie said guiding Gilda to the poster with the tailess pony.

"Now just walk straight ahead and pin the tail, yeah right, this is another prank isnt it? Im going go this way." Gilda said going the opposite way of the poster.

"Wait! Gilda, don't go that way!" Syera shouted to Gilda but she slipped on some cake and slid into the kitchen and collided with some stuff and came out covered in cake and junk.

"Hey Gilda, I think you Pinned the tail on the wrong end." Pinkie said and the rest laughed and so did Syera as well a little but then Gilda flipped her cap and lost it. she roared heavily and then got in Pinkie and Syera's faces.

"Is this your idea of a good time!? I never met a pair of dweebs in all my life! espicially you two! Pinkie Pie and your monkey friend there! you think you made me lose my cool?!" Gilda exclaimed.

"Actually yes, yes we did make you lose your cool, just not intentially." Syera said smirking.

"Rahhhh!! I'm sick of your cockiness!" Gilda then took a swing at Syera and she hit her on the face making her flinch to the side, everypony gasped at this sudden display of violence, Syera however wasn't even scratched looked back at her with a smirk but then it turned into a serious face.

"That the best you got?" Syera said

"Ok stop! first of all, you don't hit my friends! And for the record, I placed all those weak pranks around, So I guess Im the one who made you lose your cool?" Rainbow Said to Gilda.

"What! Dash your joshing me! It was Pinkie Pie and this monkey! they set up this whole party to prank and make a fool of me" Gilda said with a worried look.

"Excuse Me? Syera and I threw this party to improve your attitude, we were only trying to show you some good party fun-fun! and to turn that frown upside down" Pinkie exclaimed.

"And you certainly did not have to make yourself look like a fool, plus it so happened by dumb luck that you just happen to set them off. Most of them weren't even for you to begin with" Syera said with still a serious face and crossed her arms.

"You know, I didn't expect this from one of my old friends to treat my new ones, so if all you care about is coolness, maybe find some other friends to be "cool" with instead of me because were done!" Rainbow exclaimed to Gilda

"And I got just the ticket to that place Gilda needs to go." Syera said and approached Gilda. She then took her two fingers and put it to Gilda's beak and then close her hand into a fist, basically budha palming her through the door.

"Ahhh!" Gilda was only forced back and out the door. the force of Syera's move was still very powerful, but not enough to kill or hurt her too bad.

"And for the record. that's for Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie and all of my other friends you messed with." Syera said with a gritting her teeth at Gilda who had a bit of a bloody nose

"Rrgh...fine! if that's how its gonna be. then Im out! Dash, if you wanna not be such a flip-flop and be cool with me, give me a buzz." Gilda said as she left with a slam at the door.

"Not cool." Rainbow Dash said.

"Truly not cool." Syera said still crossing her arms and sat in mid air next to Dash.

Everypony was confused on what was going on, but Dash soon explained to them.

"Sorry Everypony, I didn't know Gilda was gonna act that way. and Pinkie Pie, Syera, Im sorry if she gave you a hard time. and Syera, Im surprised you took and ate such a hit from her."

"Please, I've felt worse that that, it felt like a tiny mosquito biting me in the face, a nusence is it what it was." Syera said cracking her neck a bit and her knuckles too.

"And Dash, if you wanna hang out with Party Poopers, then that's your business." Pinkie said with a smile

"So, no hard feelings girls?" Rainbow said about to shake both of them.

"None" Syera and Pinkie both said and they all shook on it and they all shocked themselves.

"Ahhhhh!!" they screamed a bit and they all had hoof-buzzers on and laughed about it happily.

The party went on for the rest of the afternoon and so forth and everyone left happily.

"Hey Syera, wanna join us in more pranks for the day?" Rainbow Dash said to her as Pinkie stoof next to her.

"Hell yeah, I'm down for more laughter." Syera said with a smile and soon joined her two pony friends for another pranking spreefull day.

Chapter 9: Beware the Great and Powerful Ursa Major Slayer: Trixie!!

View Online

Last time on Syera: The Forgotten Saiyan of Equestria

She had a bit of time off from training to pull a few pranks and laughs with her friends Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash, however Gilda, an old friend of Rainbow Dash showed up. Started causing un wanted trouble and was brought to justice thanks to a Party Pinkie Pie and Syera threw for her. this in turn brought on Gilda's true side and being very short tempered when it comes to Pranks.

Now after Syera and Pinkie Pie stood with Rainbow Dash's decision to not be friends with Gilda, the Griffon soon left Ponyville. But will this be the last they see of her, only time will tell and what is going to happen now?

Find out now!

Cue intro music~ "Beware the Great and Powerful Ursa Major Slayer: Trixie!!"

"Come on Twilight!" Spike said to Twilight Sparkle.

"You can do this!" Syera said as she and Spike stood in front of Twilight as she attempted the next spell on the list.

"Ok here it goes!" Twilight said and with that her Magical Horn started to glow and soon she built up a good amount of Magic and it shot towards Spike, in turn as it did, it gave Spike a gentlemen's Mustache.

"Yeah! alright! that's 25!" Syera cheered and marked it on the board of magic spells she casted perfectedly.

"Yeah, growing magic is a total success!" Spike said and look in the mirror "And a total charmer if you ask me.

"Pfft, yeah, sure Spike." Syera chuckled a bit.

"What? don't be hating on my style Syera, I'm sure I can pull this off with Rarity just fine." Spike said with a confident smile.

"Maybe some other time Romeo, but the stache is for practice purposes only, so its gotta go." Twilight said lighting her horn again and making it disappear.

"Wait! aww....rats." Spike exclaimed in depression of his Mustache being gone.,

"Don't worry Spike, you'll get your chance. now for one last one. let's see how you can transfer energy Twilight." Syera said.

"That spell? oh I don't know. its risky but let's see. Power up to Super Saiyan Syera" Twilight said to her trustful Saiyan Sister and then powered up.

"Hmph!" Syera grunted and she powered up to Super Saiyan maxing out her Ki. "alright, let's see how much you can transfer over Twilight." Syera said as she waited.

"Here it goes.....Mmmm...." Twilight then lit her horn up and then was gathering up magical energy. once it got fully charged, it turned golden like Syera's gold aura, she then shot it into Syera. which then gave Syera a serious power boost.

"That's more like it! HAA!!!!" Syera stated as now that her power was temporary boosted, she got a taste of this power. this new power made her muscles seem to bulk up even more then before.

"Whoa! Syera...could this be a new form of Super Saiyan?" Spike asked as he saw this.

"Hmm....yes it seems but......no...this form has a weakness." Syera stated to them.

"Huh? how so, you seem very strong, even stronger than before." Twilight said.

"That is true, I may have gotten stronger physically, but these bulky muscles make me feel heavy, so for instance, Im trying to catch my opponent in a fight, I can't catch them if I'm weighed down like this. Plus I don't like the feeling of having this type of body, it doesn't feel very feminine if you ask me." Syera then sighed and powered down to her normal state. and her muscles were back to normal as they should be.

"Ah, I see now, that can be very bad if you can't catch your opponent in battle Syera." Twilight said and Spike nodding in agreement.

"Yeah, exactly. Though I will admit that power boost is a total success Twilight, but I think base Super Saiyan still takes the cake. Alright, here's what I'm gonna do, if I wanna truly master this form, then I should focus on staying a Super Saiyan for as long as possible." Syera stated.

"So when you stay in that transformation for an extended period of time, it will become second nature." Spike pointed out.

"And training in that form will then cause you raise your power to its max without stressing your body out." Twilight said.

"Exactly, its total genius." Syera stated as she then Transformed into Super Saiyan once more but kept her power stable, and her aura didn't show and just made her hair appear blonde and her eyes still that bright cyan blue color.

Soon later, Twilight, Spike and Syera went out of the treehouse and got something to eat and soon later went for a walk around town.

"25 spells Twilight, plus the energy transfer spell, that's 26 in total!" Spike said in cheer.

"Yeah, it truly is amazing Twilight" Syera stated

"Oh shucks, its nothing really. but that energy transfer spell really did point out something good for you Syera." Twilight stated with a smile.

"Yes, and I will continue to stay in this form till it seems natural to me. then I can release my power at will." Syera stated as they walked and she had her arms crossed.

Soon their attention was grabbed by a very obnoxious light show ahead with some pony speaking.

"Come one, come all to witness the amazing magic of the Great and Powerful Trixie!!!" said a pony claiming to be Great and powerful and appeared on stage with a flash and bunch of fireworks and light shows which sparked an awe from the crowd of ponies.

"Now watch in awe as I, The Great and Powerful Trixie, show everypony here my most amazing acts of magic never before seen by anypony's eyes!" She stated and continued to boast even more.

"More like the Great and Boastful Trixie, sheesh." Syera stated not amused at all by this.

"I agree darling, such boasting and oh....did you do something to your hair darling? and your eyes? contacts I guess?" Rarity said talking to Syera.

"Not at all, its just me in my Super Saiyan State." Syera replied with a smile.

"Really? why it does suit you well, your hair being blonde rather than the dark color it usually is." Rarity complimented.

"Thanks." Syera then they both went back to seeing what Trixie is doing.

"Well, I suppose there is nothing wrong being talented I guess." Twilight stated

"Yeah, except when somepony goes around showing it off ta everypony like a school filly with new fancy ribbons or some junk." Applejack chimed in.

"Especially when you got somepony like me around is better than the rest of us." Rainbow Dash stated but everyone looked at her with a look that said "Seriously?"

"I mean, Magic is Magic! Booo!!!" Rainbow Dash said rephrasing her last statement.

"Well well, looks like we have some Neighsayers in the audience! who is so ignorant to think they have the power to challenge the magic abilities of the Great and Powerful Trixie? Do they not know they are in the presence of the most powerful Unicorn in all of Equestria?" Trixie went on and on till Syera stepped in.

"Oh please, your magic can't even touch the broadside of Applejack's barn, let alone compare to what I have in stock." Syera said to Trixie and Smirked.

"Who said that?! who dared to speak out against me! the Great and Powerful Trixie!" Trixie said looking around in the crowd of Ponies but then saw Syera and gasped.

"What is that?!" She said pointing to Syera and everyone looked at her. "Ugh! its hideous!" She stated

"Oh that's not very nice, its just a dragon." Syera said as she looked at Spike and he was confused on what was going on.

"Hmm....Indeed, so all jokes aside, just who and what are you?" Trixie stated to Syera.

"Who I am is not important, what you need to know is that you're more Great and Boastful than Great and powerful." Syera said in a mocking tone of voice as well as smirking at her.

"Yes, just who do you think you are?" Rarity stated backing Syera up.

"And what makes you think you are so awesome anyway oh "Great and Powerful" Trixie?" Rainbow Dash asked mocking her name.

"Why I am glad you asked, only the Great and Powerful Trixie has the magic to vanquish an Ursa Major!" Trixie stated and then showed more fireworks and Illusions and junk.

"It was a tragic day in Hoofington where nopony had no one else to turn to expect The Great and Powerful Trixie! where she relinquished the Ursa Major and sent it howling back in pain to its cave in the Everfree Forest!" Trixie said and went on and on.

"That settles it! Trixie is the most awesome unicorn in all of Ponyville!" One young colt by the name of Snails stated.

"No, in all of Equestria!" another young colt Snips added in.

"I well am indeed my little enthusiastic admirers. But however, you don't seem to believe it, well how about it Ponyvillians? I challenge each of you to a duel, anything you can do, I can do better! So how bout it? anyone? Hmm? or is Trixie destined to be the most powerful unicorn ever to live!" Trixie boasted even more with fireworks and illusions and junk.

"Question, do you even know what an Ursa Major is?" Syera then asked Trixie and she got a bewildered look when Syera asked her that question.

"Yes, why?" Trixie asked a bit irritated by such a rhetorical question.

"Do you even know how big an Ursa Major is and how powerful it is?" Syera asked again getting under Trixie's skin

"What? well of course Trixie knows!" She said angrily towards her.

"No, I don't think you do." Syera said and that just left Trixie Speechless.

"Uh....But....Trixie....Uh..." Trixie was speechless.

"Anyway, maybe you should have somepony challenge you right?" Syera asked.

"Yeah I think she does, I'm tired of standing around not doing nuthin'! hey Trixie, does your fancy magic do this?" Applejack stated and she started doing all kinds of tricks and moves with her rope like twirling it around and jumping through it while it was spinning in a complete perfect circle. And lastly she used her rope to pick out an apple from a nearby tree and chomp it down with ease.

"Please, Foal's play" Trixie then used her magic to manipulate the rope and put Applejack in a trance then tie her up in her own rope. Then she place an Apple in AJ's mouth, the poor country mare hoped and wobbled still tied up with the Apple in her mouth.

"Mm~ Mmph!" Applejack grunted as she made her leave off stage and this caused the audience to laugh and such.

"And the Great and Powerful Trixie prevails once more." Trixie stated.

"Now wait just a moment! There's no need to go off and strutting and showing off like that!" Rainbow Dash then chimed in.

"Oh?" Trixie asked.

"That's my job!" Rainbow Dash said taking off then twirled around a nearby windmill at a high rate of speed then flew off it with her velocity through the roof through a few clouds, taking its vapor and water out of it and then flew down on stage with the water hitting her and shinning which created a rainbow above her. "They don't call me "Rainbow" and "Dash" for nothing." She stated which caused the crowd to cheer.

"When Trixie is through, the only they will call you is Loser!" She said and used her magic and made Rainbow Dash Spin outta control really fast.

"Whaa! Whoaaaa!! Whaaaaaa!! I think I'm gonna be sick....." Dash stated as she finally got a chance to stop.

"I'd say anypony with a "Dash" of good sense would think twice before tussling with the Great Trixie." She stated and then struck Rainbow Dash with some lighting from a cloud.

"Ow!" Rainbow Dash screamed in pain.

"Anypony else?" Trixie then asked.

"What we need is another Unicorn. come on Twilight, pitch in....." Spike begged Twilight to.

"I.....I...." Twilight stuttered nervously.

"Enough, all of you, I take your hints and such but I, Rarity am above such nonsenseable behavior to act like ruffians such as my good friends, Applejack and Rainbow Dash." Rarity stated stepping in.

"What's the matter? afraid you might get a hair off in that rat's nest you call a mane" Trixie taunted Rarity.

"Oh. it. is. on! You may think you are powerful, tough and whatever else with your so-called powers, but a Unicorn needs to be more than just muscle, a Unicorn needs to have style. A Unicorn is not a Unicorn with glamour, beauty and grace." Rarity stated as she created a dress out of one of the curtains on Trixie's Stage.

"Now that's what I am talking about, you go Rarity!" Syera said clapping and cheering for her as did the other ponies there. but Trixie just smirked and then used her Magic to do something....quite drastic to Rarity's mane which caused a gasp from everypony.

"Quick! somepony grab me a mirror! what did she do to my hair?!" Rarity panicked.

"Nothing!" Rainbow Dash stated.

"It looks Gorgeous!" Applejack added.

"Its.....Green" Spike and Syera said but everyone there looked at those two. "What?" they both asked.

"No! not Green Hair, not Green Hair! Ugh! such an awful color!" Rarity said crying as she ran home.

"Why I never...." We heard Golden Harvest state since she had Green Hair.

"Alright, that's it, looks like I have to step in." Syera said and then floated on top of stage which shocked some of the ponies.

"So the hairless monkey can use flying magic? not impressed." Trixie said.

"My ability of flying is not used by magic. And you have no idea what I can do besides that. but let me think for a second. hmm......oh, this one trick I learned from one of the many masters I trained with. it took me a while to perfect this techinique. Its called 'Instant Transmission' " Syera stated and the ponies around the stage started whispering to each and wondering what "Instant Transmission" is.

"Isn't that just a fancy term for teleportation? if so, not impressive." She said.

"Now hold on, let me explain, to use this, you have to think of somepony, if they're far away, focus hard and you can transport yourself to them within a blink of an eye. now who to choose.....ah! ok, 3.....2......1!" Syera then disappeared.

"Huh? she's gone!" Rainbow Dash stated but then Syera appeared back.

"Ha! like I said, a simple parlor trick of teleportation." Trixie stated.

"Oh yeah? then what do you think of this?" Syera said and what rested on her head was Celestia's Crown.

"Land-Sakes Syera! is that Princess Celestia's crown on your head?!" Applejack asked her.

"Ehehe, yup." Syera said "But don't worry, she has more than one." This caused everypony to be in awe and applauded.

"Hmph, two can play at that game." Trixie said and she then did something to the Crown on Syera's head and made it really heavy.

"Whoa!" Syera fell down and so did the crown but she caught it before it fell and hit the ground below.

"HA! nothing but a little gravity spell on that crown of yours." Trixie chuckled.

"Whoop!! now this is heavy, but if I put my....Ngh! back into it!" Trixie was then shocked by how strong Syera was to able to lift such an object. "Then its not so bad. still really heavy through." Syera stated with a smile and started tossing it between her hands. Trixie growled a little in annoyance then lifted the spell.

"Fine! I guess you may win this time! but you aren't a pony so it doesn't count, now the only one left here is......you!" Trixie said pointing at Twilight.

"Me? I'm just your run-of-the-mill citizen of Ponyville. No powerful magic here." Twilight said very nervously in shock.

"Oh really? is that the truth, or are you too scared to face up to the Great and Powerful Trixie!" Trixie asked.

"Uh....well gee...I'd love to but uh...oh you hear that, I think I hear my laundry calling, so excuse me, sorry gotta go!" Twilight then ran off in a hurry.

"Ha! well it seems the Great and Powerful Trixie has proven herself the most powerful Unicorn in all of Equestria! was there any doubt in your minds?" Trixie said boasting as she was victorious.

"Well yes, since all I see are a bunch of tricks and light shows" Syera smirked.

"Why you......" Trixie gritted her teeth at her.

"So anyway, I'm gonna go calm my sister down, ok? Bye" Syera said using Instant Transmission to teleport herself to the library where Twilight is.

"Hey...you ok?" Syera asked her sister.

"Yeah, I'm fine Syera, and thank you for everything back there." Twilight told as she hugged the saiyan whole heartedly.

"Don't just thank me. You gotta thank Rarity, Applejack and Rainbow Dash for the support as well." Syera told with a chuckle

"I'll be sure to thank them later, right now I wanna see what spells Trixie was using, cause that Gravity Spell seems pretty complex when she used it on Celestia's Crown.

"Yeah, let's read up on it." Syera said as she was very interested about it too, at this point she transformed back to her normal state since she was Super Saiyan for most of the day and all that time with Trixie and whatever else.

Sometime later when it was near night time, everypony was asleep but Syera, Spike and Twilight were up. Spike was still trying to convince Twilight she was better than Trixie, which was true but she wasn't going to show her talent to everypony since she was afraid of being called a boaster like Trixie.

"How many times do I have to say it Spike, No means no! Didn't you see how everypony hated Trixie's bragging? If I go around frantically with my magic, I'll run the risk of losing them as friends" Twilight went on still reading her book.

"It's not the same Twilight! you'd be using your magic to stand up for your friends!" Spike still went on.

"Spike you can try and convince Twilight all day if you please. However she is not going forward with it, plus I think its best we honor her decision and let this one go." Syera spoke, Spike was about to speak once more but the saiyan wasn't finished.

"Remember what Princess Celestia told once ago, "there comes a time where one must not fight, but to think it out and find a better solution." Give Twilight that time, don't worry, she'll come through eventually." Syera said speaking on Twilight's behalf.

"Thanks sis." Twilight said and soon continued to read her book.

"Ugh....Fine then, I'm going for a walk, see ya." Spike said and stormed out of the golden oak library.

"Phew....but seriously Twilight, I get what Spike is saying and what you are saying, he is right that you'd be using your magic to stand up to Trixie rather than showing off like that boaster of a Unicorn." Syera said to her pony sister.

"I know.....but I don't want to risk our friends hating me for it because I possess such powerful magic, I don't want to show it off." Twilight said nervously.

"They won't hate you, if anything, they'll love it since its real magic and not....whatever the hell Trixie does. trust me, I think they'd like your performance rather than Trixie's light-show of illusions and junk." Syera said as she put a hand on Twilight's shoulder area and they shared a hug between them.

"Yeah...you're right Syera, I think I needed to hear that clarification indoubtedly." Twilight said then not even a moment Later, Spike busts in the door panting and scared out of his mind.

"Twilight! Syera, you gotta come quick!" Spike said panting hard.

"Spike for the last time I'm not going to show off." Twilight said annoyed.

"It's not that! Its~" Spike was cut off due to a loud roar that seemed to shake the entire town.

"Wait....that can't be...." Twilight Said shocked.

"Yeah... Trouble. let's go!" Syera said as they rushed outside to find that an Ursa Minor had charged into town and everypony was running for cover.

"Wait...is that Trixie over there?" Twilight gasped.

"Ngh....Trixie! get away from that thing now!" Syera screamed out to her after Trixie did some sort of spell but it failed.

Trixie was about to be cut down into pieces, however, Syera stepped in at the last moment and grabbed Trixie, Snips and Snails and got them somewhere away from the Ursa.

"AH!!! Oh....The Great and Powerful Trixie thanks you kind monkey for getting us out of there!" Trixie said in joy.

"Save it for later, we got an Ursa to deal with, and we don't need your light-shows, that'll piss it off even more!" Syera said as she powered up and her aura glowed a bright red as she was using Kaioken.

"I better buy us some time! come on big boy! right here!" Syera said as she then tussled with the Ursa Minor.

"Ok, can someone please explain to me why this is happening?!" Twilight screamed out as Syera fought the Ursa.

"We brought an Ursa Major here to town" Snips confessed.

"You what?!" Twilight and Spike both asked.

"Don't worry, The Great and Powerful Trixie can defeat it. right?" Snails asked Trixie.

"I can't, I never fought an Ursa Major before! I made the whole thing up to make me look better in front of the crowd here in Ponyville." Trixie said confessing.

"MADE IT UP?!" Snips and Snails were so shocked.

"Seriously, you guys really believed her?" Spike asked then Syera was knocked back by the Ursa.

"Agh! man this thing is cranky as all hell.....what are we gonna do.....?" Syera said to herself as she was backed to a corner with the Ursa coming right for her. "Looks like I don't have a choice but to really take this thing out.......Hmmmm......" Syera said as she then took a stance and cupped her hands together and put it to her side and gathered energy.

"Oh no.....If Syera kills the Ursa.....no, Im not gonna let that happen." Twilight said as she stepped towards the Ursa and lit up her horn, she made the winds around her sound like mystical music, this music was heard by the Ursa and was now calming down and looked to be falling asleep.

"Huh? is that......number 16?" Syera asked herself as she then stopped gathering energy and just looked at Twilight in shock as to what she was doing. "Twilight......oh wow..." Syera said in shock as she saw her sister performing at this level.

Soon it looked like she took the top of Ponyville's Water Tower, emptied the water and what sounded like she replaced the water with milk from the cows, she converted the water tower into a bottle for the Ursa and soon sent it back to its cave in the Everfree forest.

"Ngh....Ahhh.....phew...." Twilight said as she stopped after the spell was done. her horn was glowing a bit red due to the heat of the magic build up.

"Twilight, that was incredible! I never thought I'd see number 16 in action like that cause wow, that was some combo!" Syera told with an excited fashion as she clapped her hands along with everypony there who witnessed this.

"Un-fricking-believable Twilight!" Rainbow Dash shouted in amazement in the moment of appluase.

"Heavens to Betsy! We knew you had magic abilities but not to that degree!" Applejack said cheerfully.

"I'm so sorry....please don't hate me" Twilight said which confused them all.

"Why in Equestria would they hate you Twilight?" Syera asked confused as she place her hands on her side, tilted her head sideways and raised an eyebrow.

"Yes whatever do you mean darling?" Rarity asked just as confused as Syera was.

"Well....I thought if I showed off my power like Trixie then....you wouldn't like me anymore..." Twilight stated.

"What?! pfft! no, Trixie is a show off, you are awesome! especially after whooping that Ursa Major's butt, I totally think that makes you even more awesome!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed.

"Magic is a part of who you are Sugarcube, and we like you no matter what. We're proud to have such a Powerful Unicorn friend such as yourself, along with Syera, our strong Saiyan friend. I heard from Spike you discovered a new Super Saiyan form, I'd love to see it some day." Applejack asked after she told Twilight how valuable and loving a friend she is to them.

"Why I'd like to see it too sometime." Rarity said.

"Yeah me too! count me in on that!" Rainbow Dash explained.

"Definitely, but another time girls." Syera said. "But right now, I knew about number 16 Twi, but all the other stuff just blew me away, was that all in that book you were reading earlier?"

"Yes... And about that, I was so intrigued by the spells Trixie was using, I had to read up on them. and I picked up a few others along the way." Twilight said.

"So it's possible to vanquish an Ursa Major?" Spike asked.

"I wouldn't think so, besides you were half right, we were dealing with an Ursa alright, but not an Ursa Major." Syera pointed out as she crossed her arms and looked at the forest and sensed its energy along with something even bigger with it.

"Syera is right, that was just a baby we dealt with, an Ursa 'Minor' to be specific" Twilight clarified.

"A BABY!?" Trixie asked in shocked.

"Yep, and it wasn't rampaging, for what I could tell, it was cranky." Syera pointed out.

"Right again Syera, because two certain someones woke it up from its sleep!" Twilight said looking at Snips and Snails who were looking around and chuckling nervously.

"So if that was an Ursa Minor.....what's an Ursa Major like?!" Spike asked terrified.

"Trust me, you don't wanna know. All I'll say is this, if an Ursa Major came and attacked us, I think we'd be in a whole lot more trouble than with the Minor." Syera said still looking in the direction of the Ursa Minor which was held by its mother, the Ursa Major in question.

"Well, you may have vanquished the Ursa Minor Twilight, but you will never have the amazing show stopping abilities as the Great and Powerful Trrrixie!!" Trixie said and ran off in a puff of smoke but they could clearly see her running away.

"Why you little...." Rainbow Dash was about to chase her but Syera stepped in.

"She's not worth it Dash, you and I both know that." Syera said with one of her arms blocking Dash.

"You're right Syera, in due time she'll learn her lesson, now as for you two." She said referring to Snips and Snails.

"We deserve whatever punishment you give us." Snips and Snails both said.

"For starters you could clean up this disaster of a mess here. And.....what do you think Spike? Syera? Shall we give them number 25?" Twilight asked

"Oh yes!" Syera said smirking and chuckling a bit.

"Definitely, and can you do me as well." Spike asked nicely and Twilight nodded and soon her horn lit up once more and gave Snips and Snails, along with Spike, number 25.

"Sweet!" Snips, Snails and Spike all shouted.

"Which caused laughter from everyone, soon Snips and Snails cleaned up the mess, everypony went to bed and rested easy for the remainder of the night peacefully with no more Ursa attacks or whatever else was lurking in the Everfree Forest.

The next morning, Twilight finished writing a friendship letter to the Princess and sadly Spike's Mustache didn't work out so well on Rarity. The he went on an on maybe it wasn't enough, maybe he needed more facial hair or a new style of facial hair. this caused Syera to laugh as she heard the commotion as she was in ear shot of listening while standing on top of the library just looking out over the horizon of Ponyville.

"Don't worry Spike, like I said....you'll get your chance." Syera said to herself as she wondered, what else awaits them in Ponyville and how the Grand Galloping Gala will be in the next 4 months from now.

Chapter 10: Smoking Aces? Or is Fluttershy our Trump Card?

View Online

Last time with Syera: The Forgotten Saiyan on Equestria.

She and Twilight Sparkle had to deal with the pressure of dealing with the Boastful annoying showoff of a pony, Trixie.

And to make matters worse, an Ursa Minor showed up to town due to two certain someponies waking it up from its slumber!

However, with Twilight's serious Magical potential and abilities, she was able to put the Ursa to sleep and back into the Everfree Forest!

Now Syera and the ponyfolk of Ponyville are now safe and can enjoy peace and quiet, but for how long? what will await them next?

Find out, Now!

Cue Intro Music ~ "Smoking Aces? Or is Fluttershy our Trump Card?"

"Come on Applejack, pelt as many as you can at me!" Syera stated as her and Applejack were busy desposing of all the rotten Apples picked this season.

The way they were desposing them was Syera punching or kicking them to nothing but pieces which evaporate due to the force of the kick or punch while they are loaded into one Applejack's contraptions.

"Alright, the sentry is fully loaded Syera! here they come! Yeehaw!" Applejack screamed in joy and excitement as she let her sentry turret fire away all the old rotten apples at Syera.

"HAAAAA!!!" Syera said as she moved at such speed and finese that not one Apple that came at her was hitting her but she was hitting them with a lot of speed and force.

"Banshee Blast!!!" Syera then used her Banshee Blast which consisted of her using her finger tips and shoot beams out of all 10 of her fingers and disintigrated all the apples heading towards her at the moment.

Soon, not even 10 minutes later, all the rotten apples were gone.

"Phew.....awesome AJ, I needed that work out." Syera said whiping a bit of sweat off her forehead and moved her two bangs out of the wave of her face a little by blowing at it slightly.

"And thank you mighty kindly for gettin' rid of all them rotten apples. Saves us here at Sweet Apple Acres some work to do." Applejack replied with a smile and then hugged her best friend.

"Phew....all that made me hungry. Got any good stuff baked Applejack?" Syera asked eagerly as her stomach growled.

This caused a laugh from Applejack.

"Of course, I'm just so surprised how much you Saiyans are able to eat. but I take that as a compliement that you're able to and be satisfied." Applejack replied.

Applejack soon gave Syera a basket full of treats and foods as payment fall she did.

"Thanks AJ." Syera said with a smile and began to eat the treats she recieved from Applejack.

"Thank you as well Syera." Applejack thanked her Saiyan friend, but then she looked up at the sky as she spotted something particularly odd.

"Umm....Syera...." Applejack said nervously.

"Hmm? what is it?" Syera asked then looked where Applejack was looking.

"Ah?! where is that smoke coming from?! is there a fire?!" Syera stated.

"I sure hope not.....!" Applejack replied.

"Where it's coming from, its not a good sign. Here, get close to me, I think Twilight might've gotten word from the Princess on what this is." Syera stated and AJ hugged on close to her. They soon teleported to the center of town where Twilight was with Spike and she got everypony's attention on the situation.

"Listen Up, Smoke is spreading all across Equestria as we speak." Twilight Informed everypony which gave them a bit of a shock and surprise of the sudden phenomena.

"But don't worry, I've just recieved a letter from Princess Celestia that this smoke isn't coming from a fire." This invoked a sigh of relief from the crowd.

"Then what is it coming from then exactly Twilight?" Syera asked her sister.

"Its coming from a Dragon!" Twilight replied, causing a sudden shock and gasps from the crowd.

Soon Syera and the 6 came to gather at the goldenoak library to discuss their plan to deal with this....dragon.

"What in the name of Cinnamon Swirls is a dragon doing here in Equestria?" Applejack asked.

"Judging by the way smoke is pouring out from that mountain. I have only one guess." Syera stated to AJ's claim.

"And what would it be darling?" Rarity asked her.

"He would be most likely sleeping his ass off." Syera retorted to Rarity.

"That is exactly right Syera, he is sleeping. According to the Princess, he is indeed taking a nap on top of that mountain, that smoke is from all snoring."

"He should really see a doctor, that doesn't sound Healthy at all." Pinkie said regarding the whole snoring and causing smoke.

"Well at least he isn't snoring fire. that would be even worse." Rarity stated.

"But wait.....how is the Dragon sleeping his ass off? he doesn't have a mule up there, does he?" Pinkie asked, obviously not getting the expression Syera stated previously.

"I think it was just an Expression Pinkie." Rainbow Dash explained to her Pink Pony friend.

"Oh....right, I get it now!" Pinkie responded with a smiling squee.

"But what are we supposed to do about it Darling?" Rarity asked.

"Oh I'll tell you what we gotta do. give him the boot and a little bit of this!" Rainbow Dash then threw a few kicks and punches at Syera really quickly and flying at her. "And a little bit of that!" Rainbow exclaimed more then threw one last kick at Syera and they collided feet and hoof.

"Sounds like a good idea but still. this is a dragon were talking about Rainbow. We should look for a different outcome." Syera suggested to her rainbow colored Pegasus Pony friend.

"Syera is right Rainbow, we need to convince or encourage him to sleep somewhere else so Equestria isn't covered in smoke." Twilight explained to Rainbow Dash.

"Princess Celestia gave us this mission, but if we fail, soon Equestria will be covered in smoke for the next Century or more." Twilight responded.

"Oh my....." Fluttershy gasped at the response Twilight gave them

"Well, that doesn't sound good." Syera said as she crossed her arms and thought about it through and through.

"Oh yes, talk about getting your beauty sleep indeed." Rarity exclaimed as she heard what may happen.

"Alright everypony, we don't have much time, and we have a long journey way ahead of us." Twilight stated to them.

"So I suppose we should gather up supplies for the trip and meet here in less than an hour?" Syera asked.

"Precisely, now let's get going!" Twilight exclaimed and everypony went back home to get prepared.

"Yeah! you heard her girls, the fate of Equestria is in our hooves, or in Syera's case, hands. Do we got what it takes?!" Rainbow asked really pumped for this mission.

"Oh yeah!" Applejack exclaimed in cheer.

"Oh yes!" Rarity said with excitement.

"Wee! yeah, we can do it!" Pinkie cheered and was eager to start.

"Hell yeah!" Syera exclaimed as she stretched her legs a bit and cracked her knuckles, eager to potentially fight a dragon if needed.

Over the next hour. the 7 heroes of Equestria prepared themselves for the journey ahead.

"Alright girls, listen up. Me and Syera mapped out the quickest route." Twilight explained the Syera chimed in.

"The area we are heading is extremely dangerous. however, we all need to keep a steady and fast pace if we expect to make it up there on the top of that mountain by nightfall." Syera explained to her friends.

"M..Mountain?" Fluttershy asked in fear.

"Yes, the cave at the mountain at the very top is where the dragon is at." Twilight showed and pointed to where the smoke is coming from.

"Looks pretty cold up there." Applejack said as she looked up there.

"Yeah it is, the higher you go, the chillier and colder it gets." Rainbow Dash explained to her Country friend.

"Good thing I brought my scarf" Rarity explained as she put her scarf on which was in her pack.

"Ooo, pretty scarf" Pinkie said as she saw it

"Heh, oh yeah, that'll keep you nice and cozy." Rainbow Dash said about the scarf.

"Hopefully cozy enough, its gonna be a long trek up the mountain, and its gonna get chilly." Syera explained.

"Hey Syera, what's that brown pouch that's strapped to your waist there?" Applejack asked her Saiyan friend.

"Oh this? they're magic beans, Celestia gave them to me in case of situations like these, eat one of these after sustaining serious injury and you'll be good to go." Syera explain as she took one out the green hard beans out and showed them then she put it back.

"Hopefully they'll be a last resort in case that dragon attacks us." Rainbow Dash stated with a serious look as Syera put the beans away.

Twilight then proceeded to pull out the map, to see how well this mapped out trail she and Syera will work out as they all go up the mountain.

"Hm....well we could go that way instead....." Twilight said since the route she marked this time could cut their time up the mountain by at least a quarter.

"Um....excuse me Syera?" Fluttershy asked her Saiyan friend.

"What is it Shy?" Syera asked.

"I was wondering....if maybe....just maybe um....I should stay here in Ponyville." Fluttershy explained.

"What? why? we need you Fluttershy, you are a very important asset to this team. we need you with us while were up there.."

Twilight overheard this conversation and put her sense into it.

"Yeah Fluttershy, we need your way with animals. they'll will surely come in great use if something were to happen with this dragon." Twilight explained and then put away the map.

"Plus Spike has your animals covered while were gone." Twilight explained as Spike was with her animals.

"Yup, you can count on me." Spike stated but then, the animals ran or flew away from Spike.

"Wait! come back!" Spike exclaimed as he then went to gather the animals again.

"But I don't think he's up to the task....but....but....Agh!" Fluttershy seemed so scared to go up there.

"Hey, come on now Fluttershy. don't be so afraid of your own shadow. Besides, we are with you and have your back." Syera explained to her and this gave Fluttershy some sort of boost of confidence.

"Oh thank you Syera, but be real, I don't think I'll be much help...." Fluttershy said doubting herself.

"Don't say that, don't doubt yourself or it will be that way if you don't believe in yourself as an individual, an Element of Harmony. Your kindness will very well help us alot." Syera explained with a smile.

"Alright girls! lets move out!" Twilight exclaimed to her pony friends.

"Yes, come on Fluttershy!" Syera said as she took Fluttershy in her arms and carried her in her arms and flew fast by Rainbow Dash and the rest of their friend as they galloped their way to the base of the mountain.

"Wait! wait! Ahhhh!" Fluttershy screamed, since she really didn't have a choice but to go with them. no turning back now.

As they got to the base of the mountain, they heard a very loud noise that came from the top.

"Whoa, what was that?!" Rainbow Dash asked in shock.

"I can take a guess. probably the sound of the dragon snoring." Syera said as they stood there for the moment before they make the trek up.

"Correct." Twilight said.

"Its.....so....high up...." Fluttershy gulped nervously.

"Well yeah. it is a mountain after all. I'm gonna go up there and check it out! Whoa~!" Rainbow Dash was about to fly up but then Applejack stopped her in mid flight.

"Hold on now! its best we should go up together, safety in numbers and such." Applejack suggested.

"Oh....alright." Rainbow Dash sounded bummed out as they made their way up the side of the mountain.

"I hear the one thing that shines brighter than a dragon's scales is their nests since they're made of jewels! oh if I can get lucky enough and play my cards correctly I could score some serious treasure!" Rarity exclaimed excitedly.

"Welcome to my cave Rarity! care for a diamond!" Pinkie Pie said in a deep raspy dragon-like voice to her and Syera chimmed in doing something similar

"Or some super rare Sapphires or emeralds!" then both of them did a serious roar. this sparked a laugh from all of them.

"Girls! this is not a laughing matter." Twilight said with a serious look.

"Oh come on Sis, were just joking a little, we all know this is serious. we all took on Nightmare Moon, an evil so ancient old. I think we can handle a dragon." Syera explained and everyone nodded and said "Mhm" in agreement with their Saiyan friend.

"Well I suppose. but this is a dragon, a whole new ball game. Fluttershy, any thoughts on what the dragon may be like?" Twilight asked her shy friend. but to turn around to see she isn't with them.

"Fluttershy? where are ya?" Syera asked as she flew near Rainbow Dash.

"Hey, what are you waiting for? an invitation?" Rainbow Dash called out to Fluttershy who was hiding in a bush below them.

"Ooo, I think I got one in my bag!" Pinkie said and she pulled out a invitation with some confetti shooting out from a small party cannon she had making a big squee and cheering sound. Of course this startled Dash and Syera a little.

"Yeah...anyway, Fluttershy come on what's the holdup?" Syera asked.

"Well its just so....steep...." Fluttershy explained.

"Well it is a cliffside after all. you think you could....I don't know? fly up here?" Syera asked nicely as she could be.

"Yeah, you have those things called "Wings", use them!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed.

"Come on Fluttershy! Flap them wings! you can do it!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed happily.

"Oh....Ok...." Fluttershy said as she then began to open her wings and fly. but then another snore was heard from the dragon which then scared Fluttershy and forced her wings shut with fear.

"Augh....We don't have time for this!" Rainbow Dash said.

"My thoughts exactly.....hey what are you doing?" Twilight asked Applejack.

"I'm gonna need this map if I'm gonna take Fluttershy another way around the mountain." Applejack explained marking a meet point where the others can wait for her and Fluttershy.

"Alright, then we'll head up and meet you there." Syera said and then AJ hopped down of the side near Fluttershy.

Then the dragon snoored once more and caused Fluttershy to go as stiff as a stick.

"Don't worry girls, we'll be there lickety-split" Applejack explained as she got a move on with the stiff Fluttershy.

"They're gonna take forever....." Rainbow Dash said with a groan.

"Well it looks like we don't have choice but to wait for them to show up." Syera said as they then went up to the meeting point on the side of the mountain.

"I win again!" Pinkie Pie said with a smile since she and Rarity were playing tick-tack-toe.

"Oh drat.....35 games in a row....best of 72?" Rarity asked for them to keep going.

"Ugh where are they?" Rainbow Dash groaned, obviously tired of waiting for Applejack and mostly Fluttershy.

"They're close, I sense them coming around that corner." Syera said as she stood up from meditating while they waited. She was right too, Applejack and Fluttershy came around the corner.

"Agh....we're here" Applejack said out of breath as she was carrying Fluttershy.

"Good, now come on Fluttershy, stand up, we gotta keep moving up the mountain and its getting late and we don't have much time." Twilight exclaimed as she instructed the rest of the ponies and Syera to follow her.

"Told you they were gonna take forever." Rainbow Dash complained to Twilight.

"True, but we have to keep going." Syera said chiming in as she was next to Twilight and Rainbow Dash.

As they made their way up the mountain trail ahead. they came across a small gap they had to get across.

Rainbow Dash did it with ease, so did Syera and the others. the only one that had a problem was poor and scared Fluttershy.

"You're turn Fluttershy!" Applejack said to her with a smile.

"Um....its so....wide." Fluttershy said with a nervous look.

"You can just leap on over here Fluttershy." Applejack explained to her

"Yeah Fluttershy. its not that wide." Syera said to her as she and the others were on the other side of the gap.

"I don't know...." Fluttershy squeaked out as another snore was heard from the dragon they will soon face ahead.

"There's nothing to be afraid of. It's just a hop, skip and a jump. See?" Pinkie Pie explained as she hopped the gap a few times over and over, singing in the process to Fluttershy.

"It's not very far. Just move your little rump. You can make it if you try with a hop, skip and jump" Pinkie continued to sing this to Fluttershy to boost her confidence in jumping over here.

"We don't have time for this." Twilight complained now.

"Just have patience, we'll get up there soon. Just have a little faith in Pinkie in her encouragement to help Fluttershy" Syera explained to her as they waited.

"A hop, skip and jump, Just move your little rump, A hop, skip and jump, A hop, skip and jump, A hop, skip and jump,
A hop skip and jump, A hop skip and jump!" Pinkie said going faster and faster over the small gap with ease. This caused a tiny smile from Fluttershy's lips to perk up as she stood up, ready to hop the gap.

"O-okay. Here I go. A hop." Fluttershy then began to make her way over.

"That's it." Applejack said with a smile as she watched Fluttershy make progress.

"You've got it." Twilight said with joy.

"Almost there." Rarity said with a smile as Fluttershy was getting close.

"Skip." Fluttershy said as she was about to jump, however......Twilight gave her the worse possible advice.

"Just don't look down." Twilight said to her while she was over the gap and then after Fluttershy heard that, she froze in fear as she did end up looking down. luckily the gap wasn't as big as Fluttershy thought.

"I guess I forgot to jump...." Fluttershy said with a smile after the Syera helped her on over.

"Its alright, let's just keep moving" Syera said as Fluttershy was now over on the other side and they continued their trek up the mountain.

"Let's keep it down. According to my map, we're entering an avalanche zone. The smallest peep could cause a huge rock slide. So we need to be as quiet as possible." Twilight explained with a whisper to the others since the area they're in is known to have avalanches.

As they continued to move ahead, the eerie sound of silence was broke by a certain somepony. It happened to be poor Fluttershy since a little leaf from a small tree fell on her hindside. which caused her to scream.

"AVALANC~!" Luckily Applejack covered her mouth before anything else came out. this cause the six ponies and Saiyan to freeze, they didn't know what was gonna happen next. Then all of a sudden, the ground and everything around them began to rumble and shake.

"Ngh! oh no!" Syera said as the ground shook and rocks, big ones started to fall.

"AVALANCHE!" everypony screamed and began to avoid rocks as best they could.

"Take cover!" Twilight screamed as they avoided the rocks falling.

"Watch out Rainbow Dash! get out of the way!" Syera said as a bunch of dirt and rubble fell down from the mountain towards Rainbow Dash. Syera tackled her out of the way of the falling rubble. Luckly after the dirt and dust cleared, they were only covered by some of the dirt and dust, then rose above it. Each of them coughing up dust from their lungs and stood up.

"Is everypony alright?" Syera said as she dusted herself off.

"Thanks to you I am Syera." Rainbow Dash said to her as she thanked her Saiyan friend.

Everypony dusted themselves off and such. Everyone was shooked in fear of the sudden occurance. However Pinkie Pie wasn't, as she was always a stranger to fear it seems.

"Weee! let's do that again!" Pinkie said as she cheered in joy.

"I don't think we should Pinkie, that was pretty dangerous." Syera told her as she stood in front of the dirt and rock pile ahead.

"Ugh....my this dust is horrendous, this is why a lady such as myself always packs extra accessories." Rarity said as she put on a new scarf that was similar to her previous one. "Oh.....please tell me I have the tiara that matches this." Rarity complained as she searched her bag.

"Um Rarity, hate to break it to you but I think we have a bigger problem then fashion at the moment." Syera said.

"She's right, we have bigger problems than to worry if our hairbows match our horseshoes Rarity." Rainbow Dash explained.

"Well it doesn't seem like much of a problem....just we....need to climb over" Twilight stated with a gulp as her and the rest of the ponies and Syera climbed over the rock pile.

"I'm so sorry girls" Fluttershy stated as they began to climb over.

"Its quite alright Sugarcube. we just have to keep movin' forward." Applejack said as they climbed over to the otherside. Fluttershy got a little off balance once they made it to the otherside of the rubble. She slipped and slided down, pushing Rarity and AJ down with her.

Syera and Rainbow Dash helped them out.

"My appologies" Rarity said.

"Not your fault Rarity." Rainbow said looking at Fluttershy.

"Its alright Rainbow Dash, cut her some slack. she'll come around." Syera said with a reassuring smile towards Fluttershy.

A little bit more and they reached the cave at the tip top of the mountain peak.

"Still think its a good idea to have Fluttershy along Twilight." Rainbow Dash asked.

"Looks like were gonna see soon enough Rainbow" Syera said as they reached the mountain cave where the dragon was sleeping, smoke pouring out as they stood at the entrance.

"Be careful, from what I can tell, this dragon is very powerful and can kill us in an instant if we aren't careful enough." Syera stated as Twilight then began to explain their plan.

"Rainbow Dash, get to work on clearing some of this smoke. Rarity, Pinkie Pie, be ready to cause a distraction in case he comes out. And Applejack, be ready with the apples and Syera, be ready to fight him if it comes to it." Twilight told everypony their job and they got ready.

"And Fluttershy, you're coming with me to convince him." Twilight said to Fluttershy, however....

"I....I can't....." Fluttershy stated.

"What?! why?!" Twilight asked in shock.

"Because its a dragon...." Fluttershy said.

"And? you stood up to a ferocious Manticore like it was nothing!" Rainbow exclaimed at her.

"Yes, that's because it wasn't a Dragon." Fluttershy retorted.

"What about Spike!? he's dragon, is he not?" Syera exclaimed back at her claim.

"That's beacuse Spike isn't a dangerous, big fully grown, could eat a pony in one bite kind of dragon." Fluttershy explained then began to walk away. "I'm sorry but i can't....." she said with a sad look as she hung her head low. "Oh Fluttershy....." Twilight said in sadness as she and the others saw their Pegasus friend walk away.

"Looks like we'll have to do this on our own, brace yourselves everypony" Syera said as she got a serious look on her face. "We got your back Twilight, all the way." Syera said as she walked inside the cave with her. "Oh...you do?" Twilight said with a smile, Syera however was the only one to follow her in, the others stayed at the entrance ready to do what the plan was calling them to do.

"Alright, let's take it nice and slow." Twilight said as she and Syera entered the cave. "Right." Syera added as they walked in slowly, smoke pouring over them as they made it deeper in the cave. And then.....

"Hello...? Mister Dragon?" Twilight whispered to the big red dragon as they found it laying in the cave. It soon opened its eyes and looked at the Unicorn and Saiyan.

"Ah, now we have your attention, My name is Syera and this is Twilight Sparkle. Now listen up and listen carefully for what we have to say. You taking a snooze up here on this mountain top here is causing a lot of your smoke from your nostrils to pour down below." Syera started off and the Twilight Finished the rest.

"So what were trying to say is, you need to take a nap somewhere else because Equestria can't handle being covered in Smoke for the next century. Please, you must understand you can't sleep here, so could you maybe....take a nap someplace else?" Twilight finished with a smile. The dragon stared at them two and then yawned, his foul breath reeking out of his mouth.

"Eck.....breath mint much? sheesh, that's worse than Spike's breath" Syera claimed but the dragon seemed to cooperate since he was moving out his spot.

"Oh good, thank you kind dragon, we appreciate your...." Twilight was cut off when the dragon didn't get up at all, and instead shifted positions where he was sleeping.

"Cooperation......sigh..." Twilight said in disgust as they walked out.

"Well there goes persuasive tactics, now what?" Syera said to Twilight as she had her hands behind her head as they walked out.

"Obviously, this situation just calls for a little "pony charm". Allow me, girls." Rarity then went into the cave to give it a shot, of course the others held back behind her in case something went wrong. "I'm so sorry to interrupt. But I couldn't possibly head back home without mentioning what handsome scales you have. And those scales have to be hidden away in some silly cave for a hundred years?" Rarity said, her "pony charm" seemed to be working it seems since the dragon looked at himself a bit and grunted a little. "Personally, I think you should skip the snoozing and be out there, showing them off. Hmm. Obviously, I would be more than happy to keep an eye on your jewels while you're gone." Rarity seemed to be wearing some of the jewelry that the dragon had stashed away there since dragons are known to harvest treasure for their nests. However the dragon didn't like the idea of Rarity "watching" his jewels and took all the stuff away from her, even the diamond she was eyeing as she ran back to the others.

"I was this close to getting that diamond!" Rarity complained since she didn't get any of the treasure including that diamond. "You mean... getting rid of that dragon?" Syera and Twilight added "Oh, yeah...sure....that too." She said in defeat.

"What in tarnation?" Applejack said as Pinkie Pie was dressed in this ridiculous outfit, consisting her wearing balloons, silly glasses, a party horn, a present box and a whole lot of confetti as well as her wearing what appeared to be duck-feet as if she was gonna go swimming.

"Um....Pinkie, just what the hell is this?" Syera asked her Pink pony friend. "Syera is right darling, you look down right ridiculous and silly." Rarity added as she looked at Pinkie.

"Exactly! Sharing a laugh is a sure-fire way to get someone on your side!" Pinkie stated as she made her way inside the cave and then said. "Hi!" to the dragon, then there was a growling noise along with some of the balloons popping. Pinkie Pie soon walked out with a bit of a limp in her walk and said, "Apparently he doesn't like laughing, heh. Or sharing." Pinkie said as her plan failed as well.

"All right, that's it. We tried persuasion, charm, whatever it is Pinkie Pie does." Rainbow said in anger as Pinkie sounded her busted party horn. "It's time to stop wasting time! I'm going in!" Rainbow then rushed inside after the dragon. "Wait Rainbow Dash! don't!" Syera screamed to her but it was too late. "Get! Out!" Rainbow screamed as she gave the dragon a good kick on the nose, but in turn made him sneeze and get really angry and roar and rampage out the cave.

"Damn! looks like it's mine turn! Kaio-ken!" Syera powered up with a red glow and then rushed the dragon and clocked him right in the jaw and then in the gut one time. This made the dragon scream in pain but made him twice as mad and hissed at the Saiyan and swing his claws at her. cutting the Saiyan a little bit, luckly only her gi was hit and not on her skin physically. However she didn't watch his tail and was swooped back into a rock "Gahh!!"

The other five ponies were knocked back in the same rock as Syera, causing it to crumble to pieces. "Ngh...no, girls....darn you! now I'm mad! you asked for it!" Syera screamed and then powered up more. "Kaioken times 2!" Syera was then about to charge the dragon, but then she heard a voice say "Stop!" which caused her and the dragon to look back and saw it was none other than..... "Fluttershy?!" Syera said in shock. the Fluttershy came rushing up to the dragon with an angry expression then said.

"How dare you... How dare you! Listen here, mister. Just because you're big doesn't mean you get to be a bully! You may have huge teeth, and sharp scales, and snore smoke, and breathe fire. But you do not-- I repeat-- You do not! Hurt! My! Friends! You got that?" Fluttershy said getting right in his face, this cause a big silence from the dragon and she then stated to him, "Well?" asking for an answer. "But that Rainbow one kicked me and then that one right there punched me and then kneed me in the side." The dragon said in a sad tone.

This cause Syera and Rainbow Dash to look at each other and nodded in agreement towards Fluttershy and the Dragon that they admit to what they have sowed upon the dragon.

"And I am very sorry for that, but your bigger than these two, you should know better, plus Syera here was just trying to protect our friends." Fluttershy retorted "But...I.." The dragon was about to say something but then Fluttershy cut him off and said "Don't you 'but I' me, mister. Now what do you have to say for yourself?" Fluttershy said but it didn't seem to sink in enough, so she asked again. "I said, what do you have to say for yourself?" this caused the dragon, a dragon of all things to cry a fricking river since he felt very ashamed.

"There, there. No need to cry. You're not a bad dragon, you just made a bad decision. Now go pack your things. You just need to find a new place to sleep. That's all." Fluttershy said as she cheered the dragon up so he could go and get his stuff and leave. The ponies below cheered in amazement of Fluttershy's talent to deal with the dragon.

"You did it! We knew you could do it." Syera said as she floated next to Fluttershy as they landed down to their friends and they all grouped hugged together. Soon later they made the trek back down the mountain back to Ponyville as the dragon left the area, the Pegasus ponies on the other hand were able to clear away the smoke. Soon Twilight and Syera returned to the Golden Oak Library to find Spike having trouble with Fluttershy's animals.

"I said come back here! Ooh! How does Fluttershy put up with you furry little things?" Spike compained as he held Angel-Bunny in his claws. "Spike, take a letter." Twilight said breaking the moment up. "With pleasure." Spike said with a smile as he had a quill and piece and paper ready.

Dear Princess Celestia,
"I am happy to report that the dragon has departed our Equestria." Twilight said then Syera chimed in. " And it was all thanks to our good friend, Fluttershy, who convinced him to go." Syera said and then Twilight said "This adventure has taught us to never stop believing in your friends." Twilight said and then Syera finished. "They can be an amazing source of strength and reliability when you need them, and can help you overcome some of your greatest fears you never thought possible to overcome." Syera and Twilight then both finished the last bit with. "As always your faithful students, Twilight and Syera Sparkle." Spike then finished the letter and sent it off to the Princess.

"Twilight! Syera You gotta come see this! She's just five away from a new pony record!" Applejack said as she opened the door with excitement to her both her friends. "Oh yeah? this I gotta see." Syera said as she and Twilight both stepped out of the Library to see their friend, Rainbow Dash break her ball bouncing record.

"Three hundred forty-seven, three hundred forty-eight..." She was about to break her record, then all of a sudden.

"ROAR!!!!" Pinkie Pie made a funny, however very ferocious roar towards Rainbow Dash. "Dragon!" This caused Rainbow to get scared and bottle up on the ground in fear but cause the rest of her friends to laugh in such praise as they saw Rainbow Dash bottled up in fear on how she thought the dragon came back.

"Why are you laughing? That awful dragon is back!" Rainbow retorted to them but Pinkie Roared once more to show Rainbow it was just her. "See Dashie, it's just good ol' Pinkie Pie doing her dragon impression." Syera said with a smile as she crossed her arms.

"I see.....but Pinkie Pie, you scared me! I mean, uh, you... broke my concentration...." She said and they continued to laugh a bit then Fluttershy chimed in with a smile.

"It's okay, Rainbow Dash. Not everypony can be as brave as me." Fluttershy explained with a smile and she then screamed because of a tiny leaf fell on her flank again like before when she screamed Avalanche and what not. This caused a laugh from everypony once more.

Syera then looked out over the horizon, pondering what more adventures await her and the others as the future events approach them. Seems all she can do is train harder and have patience for what is to come.

Last Time on Syera: The Equestrian Saiyan:

She and the rest of the Elements of Harmony were able to get a dragon to sleep somewhere else, far away from Equestria to get rid of the black smoke it was snoring out of the cave on the mountain outside of Ponyville.

"Hey Syera, I got a Question. how are you so awesome?" Rainbow Dash asked her Saiyan friend.

"Oooo! I wanna know too!" Pinkie jumped in excitement.

"Oh but of course, I want to know how you fight so elegantly and smooth as well." Rarity even was interested and wanted to know.

"Actually I'm interested as well Syera, I know we both had serious studies and training but I never heard the full story of what you did." Twilight asked her sister as she had interest of learning her sisters secrets and training.

"Oh....I hope it wasn't too hard and violent." Fluttershy said worriedly about hearing this story.

"Welp, ah guess we a'ought to find out don't we now." Applejack chimed in, so the six ponies and Saiyan all hung out in the Golden Oak Library to hear the tale of Syera's Origins of her training.

"I will say this girls, none of my training was easy....quite frankly, there were times I thought I was gonna fail and die from the intensity of it." Syera then went on to telling her strong, intense, sad, violent and sometimes a bit funny story.

Side Chapter 1 - Syera's Intense Training/Origins

It was the day when Syera and Twilight were called by the Princess to receive special training and studies.

Syera wore the new outfit she received from Celestia since she wanted to try it out, as well as how well she can train in it.

"I wonder what kind of training I will learn from all this" Syera said pondering to herself outloud as Twilight was by her side. "Let's hope its a challenge." Twilight said as she and Syera were heading to meet the Princess. Soon the young Saiyan and Unicorn made their way to the Princess's Main Chambers, Celestia greeted them with a warm welcome.

"Ah, Twilight, Syera. Glad you can make it. now, its time to start your training. Please follow me" Celestia instructed the two to follow, they soon were lead to a Hallway with two doors, one going right and one going left.

"Syera, enter the door on the right, Twilight you enter the one on the left." Celestia Instructed

"Ok" Syera and Twilight both entered each room.

"What are all these Princess?" Syera asked as she saw 4 platforms on the ground in front of her.

"These platforms will lead you to some very good friends of mine, they are also very good masters who which I have known for a very long time. Trust me when I say this, they are the ones who will make you a very strong warrior, far greater than what I can teach you." Syera approached one of the platforms and looked back at Celestia "Ok Princess! I will do my best with each of them." Syera told Princess Celestia.

"Good, I look forward to training with you at the end of the day, now I must go help Twilight get adjusted in her studies. And Syera, good luck." The Princess then left her to it as she went to go help Twilight Sparkle.

Syera stepped onto the first platform and then was transported somewhere far away. It was at this that moment Syera knew, she wasn't in Equestria no more. "Whoa! what is this place?! and why do I feel so heavy!" She asked herself, she looked around for a few seconds, then soon she heard a voice behind her.

"That's because the gravity here is much heavier than what you are used to in Equestria, 10 times the normal amount actually." Syera turned around and was greeted by a short blue guy with glasses and a special black Gi with a symbol on it.

"Um? who are you?" Syera asked.

"Well I'm glad you asked heheh, I am none other than the great King Kai! or North Kai but yeah, King Kai. and you must be Syera I presume. Its a pleasure to meet you and now I have a set regiment for your training." King Kai said to Syera as she was slowly adjusting herself to the Gravity.

"Ok, what do we start with first?" Syera asked cause she was not expecting this at all.

"Your first test, is to make me Laugh!" King Kai said "And its gonna be pretty hard to make me do so." He started laughing a bit.

"A Joke?! ah hay....I never told a joke in my life.....hmm....." Syera then thought hard and long for a joke.

"If that's too much for ya, you can go on home and come back when you have a joke ready!" King Kai then waited for Syera to tell a Joke or two to tell.

"How do unicorns signal impatience with slow ponies in front of them?" Syera asked and King Kai got his attention sucked towards her.

"They honk their horns!" Syera stated and this caused a gasp from King Kai

"They....Honk their horns? not bad!" He stated and started to laugh from that one.

"Yes! its working" Syera said and then told a few more.

"How powerful was the engine of the train to Appleoosa?" Syera asked King Kai and he then stated.

"I don't know!" He stated almost dying of laughter still.

"Looked like about six horse power to me!" Syera finally said and this was what tipped the scale, he was on the floor dying of laughter.

"Yes! I made you laugh!" Syera stated and soon King Kai was able to regain his composure

"Oh man....those were great ones, I should recommend you for a stand up show I usually go to." He then calmed down, getting his breath back and laughing a bit more, then he cleared his throat and said.

"Alright, you passed my first test, now here comes the second, getting you used to this planet's Gravity" King Kai said

"And how do we do that? its so weird feeling so heavy like this." Syera asked the great King Kai and soon he smirked and said this.

"Hey Bubbles, come here!" King Kai screamed out and this Bubbles person came out. however....

"Who is that?" Syera asked in very big shock as this bubbles guy turned out to be a monkey!

"This is my pet monkey Bubbles, your next challenge is to catch him. It won't be easy so give it your best shot Syera." King Kai Instructed the young Saiyan and she nodded.

"Alright, I will King Kai." Syera said with her head high, and soon started to chase Bubbles. Soon she was getting a bit faster as she took step by step across and around King Kai's Planet. "Come here you crazy Monkey! Yah!" Syera lunged foward to grab Bubbles, however he was too fast for her and got out of reach really quickly.

This continued for about an hour kr more before Syera came up with a Strategy to catch this Monkey.

"Wait.....this place.....its small and.....hmm....Alright Bubbles! here I come!" Syera said as she then spooked him to run the other way around the planet and she went the other way to intercept him, which then gave her the element of surprise!

"Gotcha!" She said and Bubbles shrieked and ran back where he came but it was too late, Syera gained enough speed and was able to grab and catch him. "Yay! I cought the monkey, I cought the monkey!" Syera did a bit of a dance as she was proud of her success on catching him. This caused shock to King Kai on how fast she was able to catch him.

"Very good! Alright, you passed this part of the test! I wasn't expecting you to catch em so fast, how about a we call it a day for now, I'm sure that Celestia is expecting you back now." King Kai told Syera clapping at her achievement of catching Bubbles.

"Yes! I can't wait for the next part of my training here! I hope to see you soon King Kai!" Syera said as she then stepped onto the teleporter platform that was on his Planet for her to go to and from Equestria to his place in Otherworld.

"Whoa....I'm back, and oh my gosh, just for being there for so long. Wee! I feel so much lighter here like a feather!" Syera said to herself and squealed in delight and giggled a bit. She felt so loose and free as she left the planet, she could move so much quicker. But she'd have to celebrate later. Next, she went to the second platform to see who the next master was.

Soon the young Saiyan had teleported to what seemed to be another planet once again. only it wasn't as small or gravity crazy like King Kai's planet. No this is different. "What is this place?" Syera asked herself then heard a voice behind her.

"I am glad you asked young one, you are on the Planet Yardrat. I am Master Vorkut of the Yardraians. I am certain you are the student who I will be teaching from the Princess of your world." This Master Vorkut told Syera and she nodded.

"Yes! My name is Syera, its a pleasure to meet you Master!" She said bowing to him in respect.

"My pleasure to meet you as well young Syera. Now, shall we get started on your training?" Vorkut asked.

"Yes! I'm ready Master" She nodded yes in agreement.

"Good, now as you see before you is one of our shrines, this hall is our meditation room. this will help your perform a sacred technique me and my people use to go to and from place to place." Vorkut explained to the young Saiyan.

"What is this Technique called Master?" Syera asked.

"It is called the "Hyper active teleportation ability". We also call it the "Instant Transmission".

"Instant Transmission?" Syera asked very surprised to think of such an ability.

"Yes, this technique requires a lot of concentration and focus. which I will teach to you now." Vorkut explained to her and soon they both sat in a meditative state to clear their minds so they could focus in a very positive manner.

"Now, I want you to focus on someone, anyone you know dearly. Focus on them and their energy. And soon you will be able to transmission yourself towards them." Vorkut explained and soon in Syera's mind, she thought of someone and then.....she was gone.

"Mmm....huh? Twilight?" Syera asked her sister. "What are you doing here?"

"I should be asking you that! where did you come from?! all of a sudden I was stacking some book I already read and you appeared right on top of them!" Twilight said still in very great shock and surprise.

"Uh...yeah, its part of my Training. anyway gotta go bye!" Syera stated and focused again and used Instant Transmission to go back to Master Vorkut. her understanding for this technique is fanominal.

"Young Syera, I didn't expect that at all. for most, it takes about a Year to learn and perfect this trick. you have only done it in less than an hour, flawlessly too since you found your way back to me." Vorkut said in a very amazed and proud voice.

"I don't how I did it Master, it just....happened, I thought of my sister and I guess.....whoosh! I was with her." Syera stated in shock as she didn't know she could do it so well.

Then as Vorkut and Syera then continued training to use this technique in various ways. One way to do so was placing two fingers to your forehead so you could focus on certain situations. This worked out for Syera very well and she got it down pat in less than an hour.

"Syera, I am proud to have you as a student. for one to as uniquely gifted as you is very rare. treasure this gift and what I have tought you. Now, shall I treat you to Lunch? Its the middle of the day and my people can eat great helpings." Vorkut said and Syera's eyes sparked.

"Wow really? that sounds fantastic!" Syera said and soon she and Master Vorkut were treated to very good Yardraian Cuisine prepared well from their finest chefs. Syera and Vorkut ate happily and soon after it was time to Syera to head back for the day to greet her next two masters.

"Thanks for everything today Master Vorkut, I'll be sure to come back tomorrow and train again. I want to learn more about that Instant Transmission technique? that's what its called right?" Syera asked and the Master nodded then they parted ways for today as the young Saiyan went back to the platform and teleported back to Equestria.

"Phew.....I wonder what the next two Masters are like?" Syera proceeded to the third platform which will teleport her to her next master in her training.

This time she seemed to be somewhere decrepit and old. Something wasn't right. what is going on?

"This place doesn't feel right." Syera said and soon she heard a scream, wait, that scream was....

"Twilight!? no that can't be!" Syera rushed towards the scream and was very worried and wondering who would dare.

"Twilight! wait....who are you!?" She saw a dark figure, in the shape of a large pony, a little bigger than Celestia but the coat of it was dark blue with a symbol of the moon as its Cutie mark.

The figure laughed minalcally in Syera's face.

"Well well, what do we have here? Another victim besides this little foal." The dark figure said and then rushed Syera and soon appeared behind her and bucked her away.

"Ahhhh!! whoa!" Syera quickly recovered from the attack.

"You Monster! how dare you hurt my sister! I'll make you pay for that!" Syera said angry and then rushed the dark figure with significant force and layed waste with this dark alicorn.

"Ha! Syeah! hahahahaaaaaa!" Syera then layed a good punch to the dark alicorns jaw and soon kneed it in the side then kicked it away with a roundhouse.

"Gak! this power......its so amazing, I never felt such a thing in so long." The dark figure said and then laughed even more eviliy.

This confused the young saiyan and this made her even more mad.

"Hey! we're fighting! so you shouldn't be taking me like a joke!" Syera was even more pissed off than before.

"Oh trust me, your power is not a joke, I know how to make it even more powerful, look over there." The dark alicorn told the young Saiyan and Syera looked over and then this shocked her.

"Ah!? no.......No.....Princess Celestia.....Lyra....Twinkle Shine.
......Moondancer.....Lemon Hearts......Minuette...." Syera stood there as all her friends and beloved teacher layed there dead.

"You did this?! didn't you!?" Syera stated to the dark alicorn.

"Me? oh no, well yes but I didn't touch them, you did." The dark alicorn said and then a big giant ape creature, which Syera transformed into was now behind her and roared loud.

"No.....I couldn't....this, I never would......I never would look at the moon ever again and turn into that Monster......." This then made Syera not only angry beyond belief at the dark alicorn, but also herself, how could this have happened?!

"Ahahahaha!! this is perfect, now that you are broken, there is nothing left for you to live for, then I shall end you life now." the dark alicorn then went for the attack and striked towards Syera, but then.......

"What?!" Syera blocked the attack this dark alicorn.

"You monster.....I will never forgive you.....and I will not let it end like this, for them! for Princess Celestia! and for....myself! I will defeat you!" Syera then had this serious energy serge, this then made her erupt with uncontrollable power.

This caused Syera to transform! but into what? this transformation turned her hair into a gold blonde color. her eyes were even changed into a sky-blue color.

"I will never forgive you, I'll make you pay for what you've done! along with that monster I swore to never transform into! you will exist no more!" Syera then rushed with this unexplainable power and defeated the giant ape monster in one swift attack, ripping straight through it in one punch forward causing it to disintegrate into nothingness.

This caused the dark alicorn to be scared. this power, Syera may have been great, but she couldn't control it, what could it be?

"No! you cannot beat me! I will not allow it!" The dark alicorn said but then Syera punched a hole into the alicorns gut, straight through. this weakened it.

"No.....you will regret that?! any last words before you die here!?" the dark alicorn groaned in pain, coughing up a little bit of blood, however it wasn't normal. It was black in color as it hit the ground, and it started to bubble up and burn, as if it was some sort of acid.

"Actually, I should be asking you that, but there is one trick that comes to mind, which is a gift from Celestia!" Syera then cupped her hands to her sides and powered up a golden energy blast.

"FULL POWER! HAAAA!!!!" Syera fired the Celestial Energy Wave Celestia had shown her once the day before this intense training started.

Thus the battle concluded as the Celestial Energy Wave erased the dark alicorn. This caused Syera then to collapse forward, and the golden glow vanished from her.

"Ahh....ha......its done.....I did it....for them." Syera said and then she heard clapping. from a distance.

"What? who is there?" Syera asked as she then stood up, a bit wobbly as she readied herself for what is next.

"Bravo, I expected none less from your power, Celestia really knows how to pick em." The figure's owner of the voice then came into view.

"Whoa, who are you?" asked as she saw, or at least what to be appeared to be an Centaur in front of her. The Centaur appeared quite old but wise at the same time.

"My name is Sendak, I am one of the most eldest and wisest Centaurs of the arcane arts. Me and Celestia have known each other for at least 400 years. When Celestia told me about the opportunity at training a being such as you, I decided I could pass my knowledge to someone with even more potential." this Master Sendak, elder Centaur explained to the young Saiyan that he is going to train her thoroughly.

"I'm glad you chose me as you new pupil Master Sendak." Syera stated to Sendak the Elder.

"Also, Celestia told me about your little problem about your...transformation during a full moon was it?" Sendak asked his new young pupil.

"Um....yes....I transformed into a giant monster because of full moon. I don't know how to control it. I always have to hide during the full moon, I hate it because I love the sight of a full moon." Syera explained with a sad tone in her voice.

"Hmm....I may have a solution. though I may warn you. this spell is very hard to perform alone. luckily over the years I found a way to use it from a single entity." The Elder spoke but this confused the young Saiyan.

"Wait...what are you going to do?" Syera spoke with fear as she is not ready for what is about to come.

"Do not struggle, it will make it even harder. now what I am going to do is delve deep inside you and isolate that form you transform into and lay it dormant. Now....hold still" Master Sendak then shot a blue beam that went straight into Syera's head and spread out across her body and inside her. Soon the Elder Centaur found the beast within her and drew it out and soon contained it within a magical containment box. Soon the spell was complete and Syera's giant ape monster transformation locked away.

"There, is it done." Sendak the Elder spoke as he put the containment box down. The spell left Syera feeling even more woozy and off balance than before.

"Ahhhh...ow my head....did it work?" She asked and soon Sendak grabbed her and took her outside where the moon was full. Where Sendak the Elder lived, it was a very sandy desert with few settlements bordering his place to work. "Ask yourself that as you gaze into the moon." Sendak stated as he made Syera look at the moon. this made her scream in terror and she closed her eyes but realized that.....

"Wait, I....I can look at the moon. and I don't have the feeling as if I'm gonna transform....Master Sendak....you did it!" Syera said with a smile and laughed as well as cheered in thankfulness to Sendak the Elder.

"Its my pleasure to help out, that spell is very powerful, but there is a way to reverse that spell. So if the time shall call for it, hopefully not ever, I can put this beast inside of you once more and you can transform into that beast." Sendak explained as he looked at Syera with a stern expression.

"I understand. and thank you again. I can't wait to start training with you Master!" Syera said as they entered back in Sendak the Elder's place of desert cave home. Soon she stepped in the teleportation mirror in there and bid her master farewell.

"Now remember. that illusion before was only a taste of what is to become next time. and will get even harder. So I hope you are prepared young Syera." Sendak said with a smirk as he was eager to see how far Syera will go.

"Yes! thank you Master, I will see you again soon! bye!" Syera said with a bright smile as she stepped in the teleporting mirror back to the room in Celestia's castle where the four teleporting mirrors are.

"I wonder who is the last master?" Syera then asked herself once again to figure out who the last one is. Only way to find is to go through the last teleporting mirror and see who it is. She soon got teleported to another distant world. But what was this place? it didn't seem like a Planet or far away land from Equestria. Was it another dimension?

"Um? Hello?" Syera looked around and saw that she was now in some sort of Spiritual realm. she looked around and walked for a bit but then she eventually met someone. or rather somepony.

"Um, Hello there?" She said to the one pony, who seemed to be old and had a beard as well as some sort of garb that was almost similar to the realm around them.

"Ah, so you are the one Celestia was telling me about. I will teach and train you with the knowledge I have to offer." This old pony then stated and introduced himself.

"Wait! you....I've read about you in a book report! you're......" Syera was about to say his name but he nodded and smile.

"Yes, it is I, Star Swirl The Bearded. I may not be alive physically but in this realm you are in, I am eternal. I will help you with the spiritual way of your training." Star Swirl said as he then floated up and then told Syera "Follow me."

"Wait....but I can't fly." Syera said realizing she can't cause she doesn't have wings like a Pegasus or magic as strong as a Unicorn like Star Swirl himself.

"Believe in yourself, your life energy itself is very strong young one, I can see a strong raging warrior within you. But I also see an intellectual being of great importance in you as well. In those features of you, I also see you can fly. Now focus" Star Swirl instructed Syera to focus her energy and be weightless to the point where she indeed started to lift off the ground below.

"Whoa.....wait.....I can? I really can fly?!" Syera said as she floated near Star Swirl and even rotated a bit in the air and she was upside down.

"Oh wow, this is so real, is this a dream?" Syera asked.

"No young one, this is all real. Now focus your energy and follow me." Star Swirl instructed and flew off, Syera focused more and started to move forward in flight and followed Star Swirl.

"Good! now come, let's move a bit faster." Star Swirl decides to move faster, this made Syera feel even more excited and then moved even faster in mid-flight. To the point where Syera passed Star Swirl in speed and Agility.

"Yahoo!!! Weee!!! this is amazing!" Syera said as she was moving around at very fast speed around the realm around her.

"Slow down now." Star Swirl then used a spell to stop Syera before she hurt herself.

"Flying or the flight dance is one of the many tricks I can teach you. however some of the tricks I will eventually teach you is even more difficult than the previous one. So I hope you are prepared very well for what I can teach you." Star Swirl said as he was able to teach Syera how to use flight as a natural ability.

"Yes! I will be ready, same with all of my other Masters! I will be ready for whatever lies ahead! I will train hard and do my best!"

With that said, Syera and Star Swirl parted ways as Syera left back to Equestria as Star Swirl made the mirror portal appear back to Equestria.

The next day:

King Kai gave Syera the next stage of her training, this time she was with him for at least a weel before coming to back to Equestria to go to her other Masters. "Alright, let start with the next part of your training."

"Ok, I'm ready, what's next?" Syera asked.

"Ready eh? alright so you caught Bubbles eh? alright no more monkey business around here now." King Kai then giggled a bit at the joke he just cracked about Bubbles.

"Alright......" King Kai then took a deep breath and then let out a serious battle-cry scream straight at Syera.

"Ngh!" Syera covered her ears at the blood curdling scream. He soon stopped as the soundwave of the scream traveled past her. "Hey, what you do?" Syera asked, wondering if that scream King Kai did.

"Just wait for it." King Kai told her then the shockwave of the scream came back to them from the other side of the planet.

"Hmm?" Syera looked over the horizon with King Kai as they waited.

The scream or at least the shockwave of the scream came rushing back and past them. Of course Syera covered her ears again.

"Any reason for that King Kai?" Syera asked.

"Oh nothing, just a long distance call I had to make" King Kai chuckled under his breath at the wisecrack he just made.

"Hmm? wait....whoa!" Syera was then pushed back onto her rump by some sort of weird force.

"Hmm? whoa, what is it?!" Syera asked in shock, but the mysterious glowing blue orb spoke.

"Hey I'm a He not an it!" then the blue orb turned into a small green bug.

"Hey, its a grasshopper." Syera said as she regained her footing.

"Yup, so? I may be a Grasshopper but I'm tougher than I look." King Kai then stepped in to explain who this was.

"Syera, this here is my good friend Gregory, he's a good friend of mine who's been living with me for a while now. He will be your next test." King Kai explained then made a mallet, a pretty big one appear and gave it to Syera. "Hey Syera, catch."

"Um....ok? whoa! this thing is.....wow heavy" Syera said in surprise. however it didn't look like she was struggling to hold it since the gravity multiplier on the planet is serious.

"Heavy enough for ya there?" King Kai asked with a joking manner.

"Oh yeah, but what am I gonna do with this? I don't understand." Syera was confused on what to do with this mallet.

"Your next objective is to bop Gregory here with that Mallet." King Kai explained.

"Oh? so squishing a bug eh? sounds fun!" Syera said with excitement.

"Hey! now just hold it, you'll have to work very hard to get me with that thing, I'll make you work for it alright." Gregory then readied himself as Syera was ready to start smashing with the mallet in hand.

"Haaaaah!" Gregory then charged again and lit up with that blue aura orb again and took off past Syera.

"Yikes! eek!" Syera almost lost the Mallet. "Ok, that does it! I'll get you buggy! come here!" Syera then began the wild chase to wack Gregory with the Mallet.

The chase lasted for about 2 hours, maybe even more than that. Syera had to come up with something, however it almost seemed impossible to get that Grasshopper with the Mallet till then.....

"Hey Gregory, catch! Hmm.....yah!" Syera then chucked the mallet with enough force to make it fly all the way across the planet. It chased Gregory, then Syera ran as fast as she could to the otherside.

"Hmm? wait! oh nuts!" Gregory was locked in a rock and a hard place as he then saw Syera intercept him with the mallet coming towards him and her. Syera caught the mallet in hand and then tapped him on the head.

"Boop!" Syera said with a smile as she was able to get Gregory with the mallet.

"Ah! you got me....mmm...but you see, I'm strong like I said." Gregory boasted proudly.

"Oh? then why is that lump doing on your head?" Syera asked with a chuckle as she then bursted out laughing, dropping the mallet on the ground in the process of laughing. Gregory then noticed the lump on his head she pointed out.

"Alright! great work Syera! you did it! you passed the trials of becoming a true student of mine. You are very lucky, not many get to train under me and learn the ancient fighting style of Kaioken! So are you ready to learn from yours truly on how to fight using the Kaioken?!" King Kai pumped up Syera big time with this motivation of learning the ancient style known as Kaioken.

"Yes! I'm ready! I know I can do it! I will do my absolute best under you King Kai to learn Kaioken, I promise I will not give up!" Syera said with a motivated look and smile on her face.

"Alright good! let's begin......just after a lunch break of course." King Kai dropped the ball since he pumped Syera up so much then called her in for a break, so unexpectedly too. This caused her to just drop down on her back and sigh in annoyance since King Kai cut off the excitement like that.

Over the course of the week she trained intensely with King Kai, learning some of the basics of Kaioken. and maintaining it in her body with such an outburst of energy at once. Sometimes for serious endurance, King Kai made Syera run half of Snake Way without any breaks in-between.

This continued each week with all of her Masters, Being on Yardrat was serious since the atmosphere there was way different than King Kai's Planet and Equestria. Though learning Instant Transmission and how to lock onto energies that were so far away, even Syera couldn't believe it. She even used Instant Transmission to go to Otherworld where King Kai was.

Sendak the Elder was right to have Syera train under him. his methods were serious, his illusions magic and alteration magic was serious impressive that they were extremely real. Sometimes even the Elder himself would step in and fight Syera and check her strength.

"Come now! you can handle more than this!" Sendak screamed at her and they both went back and forth over and over.

When she trained with Star Swirl, it was all about meditation and concentration. Unleashing and controlling Ki and magic energy. "Focus with the flow of this plane of existence like you would any other young Syera. that way, Ki control and Magic control will be all but second nature." Star Swirl told her in a smooth calm voice. Syera continued her training with the Princess and these four grand masters.

Now after 13 long years of training, Syera now has to take a final test with Princess Celestia to show what she has learned over the years. Now at 19 years of age, Syera is a now a young woman. Full of energy, strong, efficient and will use a whole lot of power in her fights if needed. "Syera, I must say that you are truly no longer that young Saiyan girl I knew 13 years ago, what I see is a proud, strong, honorable warrior ready to fight and protect herself and her friends." Princess Celestia was so proud of her, she knew she could do it. Syera was indeed a woman of destiny, and her journey ahead will be full of surprises.

"Now that your training is complete, for now. I say it's time for a well deserved break, you and Twilight both will need it." Princess Celestia both told her and Twilight to have a well deserved time of rest and peace. However in the back of Syera's mind, she doesn't know why now, she honestly thought all that blood curdling training that nearly pushed her to limits beyond a normal individual that nearly killed her. Syera wanted to fight, but patience is needed for that fight to happen, and when it does, She'll be ready.

Now, with her training complete for now after 13 long years, it has paid off well with the return of Nightmare Moon. The fight she was looking and waiting for had finally arrived.

"Come on Nightmare Moon, show me what you got or I'll get bored!" Syera clashed with Nightmare Moon in the Castle of the Two Sisters in the Everfree Forest. Syera, now due to what Nightmare Moon has done to Celestia by trapping her on the moon awakened her legendary power.

"Curse you, you dreaded monkey! why didn't Princess Celestia just vanquish you when arrived here!?" Nightmare Moon screamed in anger.

"Don't you know? I think it's pretty clear." Syera explained to Nightmare Moon as they fought and had a bit of a stand off above the castle. "I'm a Saiyan that was born on the distant Planet Vegeta, and was sent here to Equestria as a child of destiny. To be an ally of harmony! And your worst nightmare! I am Syera Sparkle, and I am a Super Saiyan!" Syera's heroic words struck Nightmare Moon and she let out a blood curdling scream and charged at Syera. The Two eventually clashed for a little longer. However, even though both were evenly match, Syera in her Super Saiyan state wasn't enough to beat Nightmare Moon on her own.

But......

Now along with the Seven Elements of Harmony, Syera. Twilight Sparkle. Pinkie Pie. Applejack. Fluttershy. Rainbow Dash. Rarity. All of them were able to vanquish the illumining threat, Nightmare Moon out of Equestria. Now, as time goes by, what awaits Syera, Twilight Sparkle and their new friends and fellow element bearers in the times to come?

Only time will tell as they approach these distant days forthcoming.

Chapter 11: A Saiyan and Zebra, now there is some gossip to be told.

View Online

Last Time on Syera: The Equestrian Saiyan!

Syera told the origins of her training to her friends. Each heart wrenching moment of the stressful training, nearly killing her. However it paid off with the arrival of Nightmare Moon! Now the 6 ponies and Syera continue with their adventures in Ponyville.

What awaits ahead of them?! Find out now!

Cue intro music ~ A Saiyan and a Zebra, now there is some Gossip to be told.

"Wow, what a gorgeous day." Twilight remarked as there was barely a cloud in sight as the sun shined bright over Ponyville.

"Yeah, looks like Rainbow Dash took my advice and got some sleep, today looks great." Syera said with a smile as she look around the town, but what was odd was that there is no pony in sight.

"Odd, I'd think the ponies would be enjoying the lovely weather we are having." Syera told Spike and Twilight.

"I hope there isn't something wrong......is it my breath?" Spike then shot a flame out of his mouth and smelled it.

"Smells just the same as I remember it Spike" Syera said after she smell the baby dragons bad breath. "You...think it could be....Zombies?!"

"Spike come on, if there were Zombie Ponies, I don't think we'd be wandering outside. Plus that is very unlikely, I don't sense anypony's energy signature dropping or fading away." Syera explained

"That is true, besides the idea of Zombie Ponies is very unlikely" Twilight added onto Syera's claim.

"Huh, it is very odd? could it be a holiday?" Syera, Spike and Twilight eventually then walked by Sugarcube corner, all of a sudden....

"Twilight! Syera! Spike! over here!" The trio snapped their heads to the small side doorway over at Sugarcube Corner.

"Pinkie?" Twilight asked in confusion what Pinkie was doing.

"What's going on here Pinkie?" Syera asked, demanding to know what was going on.

"No time! get in here now before she gets you!" Pinkie said.

"Wait, who?!" Syera asked as she readied herself and wondered if Gilda came back for revenge. However it wasn't Gilda at all.

"Is it the Zombie Ponies?!" Spike asked scared still of the thought of Zombie ponies.

"Spike....there are no zombie ponies." Syera explained, but Twilight, Syera and Spike went inside where Pinkie was. "And Pinkie, what are you doing here alone in the dark?"

"Yeah that is very odd of you Pinkie" Twilight added.

"Oh I'm not alone in the dark." When Pinkie said that, Syera then noticed the others inside. Rarity, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy and Apple Bloom are with Pinkie Pie inside Sugarcube Corner.

"Well what are you hiding in here for? in fact everypony in town is scared of something, but what?" Syera asked confused and was wondering what is going on. Its not normal for the entire residence of Ponyville to be a freaking ghost town.

"We're hiding from her!" Pinkie then pointed out the window looking at a certain somepony with a cloak covering herself. But something was....different about here.

"Do you see her?! do you see Zecora out there?!" Apple Bloom asked Syera and Twilight.

"Apple Bloom! what did I tell you about saying that name." Applejack seemed pretty angry when Apple Bloom talked about this Zecora character.

"Anyway, to answer Apple Bloom's claim, We did see her glance this way." Twilight said.

"Glance evily this way!" Pinkie added, making her seem sinister.

"Yeah sure, but you flip out for no good reason, I don't sense anything evil about her." Syera looked st this Zecora outside the window, she obviously saw that this pony wasnt harmful.

"No good reason? You call protectin' yer kin no good reason? Why, as soon as my sister saw Zecora ridin' into town, she started shakin' in her lil' horseshoes." Applejack exclaimed, however Apple Bloom begged a differ. "Did not!" she retorted but Applejack just kept on rambling.

"So I swept her up and brought her here for safe keepin'." Applejack then explained and stopped.

"I walked here myself! Applejack, I'm not a baby! I can take care of myself!" Apple Bloom was totally angry at her sister for telling such a lie about if she was scared or not.

"Not from that creepy Zecora" Applejack added to Apple Bloom's claim of watching her own flank against somepony.

"She's mysterious." Fluttershy added. Rainbow Dash:

"Sinister as well." Rainbow Dash put her input in as well.

"And spoooooky!" Pinkie added in, however all this nonsense was making Syera and Twilight even more annoyed at Pinkie Pie.

"Ugh....Pinkie will you cut that out please." Syera asked her in an annoyed tone.

"Yeah, its giving me a headache just hearing your claims on her." Twilight added.

"Wait...Twilight, is it me or does she appear to be a....." Syera had an idea of what Zecora is but Rarity interrupted.

"Ack! and those stripes and marking on her as so dreaded and ridiculous looking, no pony should ever look like that." Rarity said in disgust.

"Well she isn't a Pony. And Yup Syera you're right, She's a Zebra." Twilight said to Syera making her claim correct on what Zecora is.

"She's a what?" Rarity asked.

"A Zebra, that's why she is looks different, she obviously doesn't look like a pony for that reason, plus she doesn't have those markings on her for no good reason, she was born with them." Syera explained further.

"What is a Zebra?" Rainbow Dash asked the two. "A Zebra is another species of equis related creatures that come from a far away land." Twilight explained and Syera furthered her claim.

"I believe Zebras usually roam the Savannahs of the lands far to the east. At least that's what I read up on. But some are known to have moved from their homelands and build residence in different parts of Equestria." Syera explained.

"But why are you so afraid of her? obviously Syera is not a pony, and you all were not afraid of her, even when she went Super Saiyan when Nightmare Moon came around." Twilight said since it is true, Ponyville welcomed Syera with open arms, why not this Zecora character?

"But that is different!" Pinkie Pie explained.

"How? give me one good reason?" Syera asked crossing her arms at her friends.

"Well...for one you don't give off the same vibe as you. Plus, you are more friendly looking than she does." Pinkie said.

"And? is it also because I'm not a Zebra?" Syera asked.

"Well no! but I'll tell ya one thing! its where she lives!" Applejack stated.

"Um....ok then, where does she live?" Twilight and Syera both asked.

"The Everfree Forest!" Applejack said in fear.

"Where trees, plants and animals....take care of themselves!" Fluttershy added.

"And where the clouds and climate change...all on their own!" Rainbow Dash stated, like that was a big deal.

"That's called nature guys, didn't you learn that in school that Magic or influences of ponies in Equestria don't affect everything?" Syera said.

"Well yeah...but the thoughts still creep us out....." Rarity said nearly fainting again.

"And that wicked enchantress Zecora lives there doing her evil... stuff! She's so evil I even wrote a song about her!"

"Oh great....here we go again" Rainbow Dash exclaimed in disgust as it seems she already heard the song.

"Good grief....you gotta be kidding me....." Syera said as she facepalmed herself as she listened to Pinkie's song.

"She's an evil enchantress.

She does evil dances.

And if you look deep in her eyes.

She'll put you in trances.

Then what will she do? She'll mix up an evil brew.

Then she'll gobble you up in a big tasty stew.

Soooo... Watch out!" Pinkie sung so fast she was out of breath. as she did sing it, Applejack was shaking like a scaredy cat and holding onto poor little Apple Bloom.

Syera just shoke her head with a sigh and had her hand on her head shaking it slowly and groaning annoyed at how ridiculous the song sounded.

"Wow....catchy." Twilight said about Pinkie's Song.

"It's a work in progress!" Pinkie said with a smile proud of her song and dance.

"Ok....enough of this gossip. I'm going out there to find out the truth." Syera said as she made her way to the door, but then Rainbow Dash blocked her way.

"You can't! she might put you in an evil trance like Pinkie said!" She exclaimed

"Rainbow...get out of the way please, and come on now. Do you really believe that claim Pinkie Pie, of all ponies made, jeez you girls are making a lot of assumptions right now, you know thay right?" Syera asked her Rainbow colored friend with a smirk as she crossed her arms.

"Well ah don't! it sounds ridiculous!" Apple Bloom said outloud with a determined look. Syera then smiled at her and kneeled down at her.

"Then would you like to come with me to talk to Zecora?" Syera asked Apple Bloom.

"Yes! ah will go with ya Syera for sure!" She said with a smile, of course Applejack was against it.

"Now wait just a minute! you're not taking my sister to go see that dreadful Zecora, I'm fine with you seeing her, but not my sister!" Applejack said angrily at Syera.

"Alright then. Apple Bloom jump on me!" Syera told Apple Bloom, she did as she was told and got on her shoulders, then Syera used Instant Transmission and appeared behind Zecora with Apple Bloom.

"Syera! Apple Bloom! agh! I'm gonna get Syera for that!" Applejack said with total anger, but luckily Twilight calmed her down with the others since Apple Bloom is in good hands with Syera.

"Um....excuse me?" Syera asked as she wanted to get Zecora's attention.

"Hey Zecora, um...hello?" Apple Bloom added, then Zecora turned around and they could both see Zecora's face a lot more clearly, she had crystal blue eyes and gave them both a good smile.

"Oh, what do I see here to greet? A little pony and a....hairless monkey woman who can speak?" Zecora spoke in an interesting rhyme sort of tone.

"Um....yes, my name is Syera. and I'm am known as a Saiyan." Syera said as she shook hand and hoof with Zecora. "And I'm Apple Bloom, it's a pleasure to meet ya as well!"

"A pleasure to meet you both, I am so grateful. I honestly thought this whole town was hateful." Zecora once again speaking in rhyme. A unique and cool way of communication Syera thought of.

"Well, that's the thing, its kinda of a long story. so I hope your ready for it." Apple Bloom explained, however....

"Tell me on the way Syera and little Apple Bloom, for I must get back home so I don't disturb anypony else with my mysterious gloom." Zecora explained as she walked with Syera and Apple Bloom

However, little did they know that the other ponies followed them into the Everfree Forest after Syera and Apple Bloom explained the whole situation. However Zecora told them to be careful of something on the ground.

"Syera and Little Apple Bloom, you must stay away. From the field of Poison Joke, this is what I say!" Zecora warned them as they went closer to the Blue Flowers ahead of them.

"Wait....Poison?!" Apple Bloom saw the flowers and screamed a little then hopped in Syera's arms.

"It's alright Apple Bloom, we didn't touch the flowers." Syera looked at them and saw how they looked pretty, but the blue did seem off.

"Alright Zecora, we'll come up with some sort of way to clear this gossip back in Ponyville." Syera called out to Zecora as she went deeper into the forest to her home.

The caused a smile from Zecora. "Thank you Syera and Little Apple Bloom. I will wait to hear your feedback soon." Zecora said with a smile but soon Twilight, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie came and started to shout at Zecora to make her go away. However, they bumped into Syera in the process making her almost fall over. However she made a small pulse to the ground to boost herself back up on her feet. However now, from the force of boost, a petal of the poison joke skimmed Syera's cheek, this caused a small gasp from the Saiyan. Luckily for Apple Bloom, she had landed on the Applejack's back.

"Oh crap, it touched me!" Syera started to freak out a little but calmed down so she could figure out what is gonna happen.

"Beware, Beware you ponyfolk! For those blue flowers are not a joke!" Zecora called out to the Ponies. But they just shouted out to her in anger. Syera moved away from the flowers but the others didnt and stood in them.

"Y-you keep your creepy mumbo-jumbo to yourself, ya hear?!" Applejack shouted out to Zecora, as so did the others.

"Oh brother......" Twilight said in disgust as how her friends are reacting so defensive to Zecora.

"Beware! Beware!" Zecora kept warning them but they didn't listen.

"Yeah, back at ya, Zecora! You and your lame curse are the ones who better beware!" Rainbow Dash shouted at Zecora and soon she disappeared into the fog of the Everfree Forest. After that happened, Applejack scolded Apple Bloom and Syera.

"You! Why couldn't you just listen to yer big sister?" Applejack scolded poor Apple Bloom, she didn't know what to say.

"I...I....." Apple Bloom felt so bad.

"Applejack, please let us explain, we just..." Syera was about to explain but Applejack then raged at her next.

"And you! you took my sister with you to see that dreadful Zecora even after I said no you can't bring her along.....don't you realize what kind of hex or curses she could have placed on you two?!" Applejack said nearly tearing up from the shock of losing her sister.

"Just like in my song!" Pinkie said as she then started to sing it a bit but Syera stop.

"Applejack please, we only wanted to know the truth about who Zecora really is! she isn't a bad pony, she honestly very friendly and she means nopony any harm, if anything I'd say its you who are mean and not accepting Zecora like you accepted me into your society." Syera said angrily and then stormed off. "And get out of those flowers! Zecora said their poisonous!" Syera shouted the ponies and they soon cleared out of them.

"Wait.....Poisonous? how?" Twilight asked as she ran up to her Sister.

"I don't know, but Zecora did give me and Apple Bloom a warning about them. Applejack however came rushing in along with you guys behind, she nearly made me fall into them. However I think a peddle of one of them scratched me on the face, I hope nothing bad happens......" Syera said worriedly.

"Don't worry Syera, I guess since we all touched it, we'll have to figure something out when the effects of it come around. Plus, those flowers didn't seem too much of a hazard." Twilight said.

"I sure hope not, Zecora seemed pretty worried about them when she told us about them." Syera and the others soon made their ways back to Ponyville.

Its been a very interesting and long day since this Zecora character came to town and scared everypony.

Though Syera knew something was wrong, and she had to do something. Apple Bloom seemed more than ready to help out, but it seems Applejack has a close eye on her now. And Twilight seems a bit skeptical but might offer some help, then again its a maybe. So it looks like Syera is on her own.

"Well, its late and....wow, I'm tired...." Syera said letting out a yawn.

"Yea me too, today has been a doozy indeed, let's get some sleep. Goodnight Syera." Twilight said and soon went to sleep as she layed in her bed, Syera doing the same as she went into the room next to Twilight's.

"Goodnight Twilight." Syera then got out her Clothes and just slept in a white t-shirt and some pajama shorts.

However, it didn't seem that Syera and Twilight were able to get much sleep that night. Syera tossed and turned in her sleep, it was hard to find one position that was comfortable. The stress of today's events really hit her hard, its not gonna be easy to find a way for Zecora to be accepted in Ponyville.

The next morning, Syera woke up pretty late. It was a bit later than usual that is since she usually gets up around dawn, but now its about 12.

"Ugh....my head....feels like I fought 10 Nightmare Moons at once....." Syera groaned as she walked out her room. She went to the bathroom and then looked in the mirror and for some reason....

"What? I don't remember going Super Saiyan?" Syera then tried to power down from Super Saiyan. However when she tried, it didn't seem to work. "Hang on....I look Super Saiyan but.....I don't feel Super Saiyan, what? is this some kind of a joke!?" She screamed angrily, but then she tried to power up to Super Saiyan, and when she did. Her hair and eye color changed to if she was in her normal form but she had the Spikier more aggressive look in her hair. "What the~? I feel that I'm Super Saiyan but I don't look like I am! What is going on?!"

Twilight then came in the bathroom. "Um Syera....I think we have a problem, it seems like the poison was very serious indeed." Her horn was all soft and flaccid looking with blue spots on it.

"You got be kidding me, you two Twilight!?" Syera asked afraid.

"It seems like it.....but come on now, we have no time to panic, we need to find a solution!" Twilight said, soon later they got themselves ready and went to look for a book to find a potential cure for this problem.

However not a single book came up for a single cure.

"Ah man... Twilight!" Syera said worriedly to her.

"I know! None of these books we've looked through have seemed to put us even farther away from finding a cure! there has to be a real explanation for this, an allergy, an illness!" Twilight got even more discouraged looking through book after book.

"Maybe it's a curse!" Spike said as he was looking for a book as well on the subject.

"I don't think this is a curse Spike, this feels like a really bad joke that isn't funny anymore.....wait....what was the name of those flowers Zecora mentioned...Poison....something, dammit I forgot the name!" Syera said as she thought long and hard, her hair now a natural blonde gold color as if she was still transformed.

"Yeah, a real reason Spike, something that points to something that is real!" Twilight rambled to Spike.

"How about this one" Spike then handed Syera and Twilight a book.

"Supernaturals, Spike a real reason! this just refers to ghosts, vampires and all kinds of conjuring and illusion that are just make believe. the same thing as curses!" Twilight explained.

"Well, I think we're out of luck of every other book Twilight, we need to take a chance to look through it." Syera looked through the book, but as she was about to read some of it.

"She may be right Twilight, what if it could be really a~" Spike was interrupted when Pinkie Pie busted through the door screaming

"Ah pfurse!" Pinkie Pie came in saying whatever with her tongue sticking out all puffed and infected looking, it looked painful.

"A purse? How could it be a purse?" Spike asked then Syera chimed in.

"I think she is saying a curse like you were gonna say."

"Pinkie? What happened to you?" Twilight asked her.

"Pee pah Zthecora! Sthe put a cursthe on me!" Pinkie spat out whatever and it was nasty to Spike since spit was flying everywhere, some was hitting Syera and they both said this

"Hey, say it, don't spray it, Pinkie!" Next to come in was Rainbow Dash, however she seemed to be flying upside down or her wings were inverted, which made her fly so awkwardly in.

"Ow, Oh! She's.....trying to say-ow! Zecora, oft! she slapped us all with a, ow! curse!" Rainbow Dash came crashing in the Library, this caused a serious mess on the floor with books and such.

"I'm afraid I have to agree with her." Rarity had entered the room, only she seemed to be covered in long strands of hair, it looked like a total mess, she blew a few strands out.

"I hate to say I told ya so Syera and Twilight, but I told ya so!" Applejack entered, however she was on top of Apple Blooms back since she was....tiny. her voice was even high pitched "It's a curse, I tells ya!"

"Its not a curse! its an infection, plus it didn't seem to hit all of us the same or none at all." Syera retorted back.

"She's right, Fluttershy... seems just fine!" Twilight backed up Syera's claim, so did Rarity

"Yes, there doesn't seem to be a thing wrong with her." Rarity added.

"Fluttershy? Are you okay? Is there something wrong with you?" Twilight asked her, all she did was nod yes in response.

"Would you care to tell us?" Syera asked nicely but Fluttershy nodded no.

"So... you're not going to tell us?" Twilight asked but then she nodded no again but this confused them. "So.....yes you're not, or yes you will?" Syera asked but Applejack just got aggravated by her not talking, something was obviously wrong with her.

"Good gravy, girl! What's wrong with you?!" Applejack asked in a that funny high-pitched voice towards Fluttershy

"I don't want to talk about it." Fluttershy responded back, only her voice was deep. As if she was a goddamn stallion! this caused Spike and Syera to burst out.

"Oh sweet Celestia! I know I shouldn't laugh but what is that?! that voice is priceless Fluttershy!" Syera told and Spike added on.

"Oh man, this is hilarious! Look at all of you! We got: Hairity, Rainbow Crash, Spitty Pie, Apple Teeny, Flutterguy, False Super Syera and... uh... I got nothin'... Twilight Sparkle. I mean seriously, I can't even work with that." Spike added, Syera still chuckled a bit even though it wasn't a laughing manner so she stopped. However Twilight was not happy at all.

Mimicking Spike's laughter she then said "This is no joke, Spike. Now start looking for more books so I can find a cure!" Twilight ordered Spike to find more books, however Rainbow Dash offered an idea.

"I think we'll find a cure to this curse at Zecora's place!" Rainbow Dash suggested, still thinking its a cursr.

"It's not a curse!" Twilight said once again with annoyance

"I agree with Dash! We'll go to Zecora's and force her to remove this hex!" Applejack agreed with Rainbow Dash.

"It's not a hex either!" Twilight then got pissed at them calling this whole thing a curse.

However, Syera walked over to Apple Bloom and kneeled down to talk with her.

"You ok there Apple Bloom?" Syera asked as she then started to talk softly to her as the others argued.

"Yeah....its just it feels like its my fault this happened." Apple Bloom told Syera with a sad tone.

"Yea....I feel the same way, if we didn't go talk to Zecora and followed her into the Everfree Forest, maybe none of this would have happened.....but, it happened for a reason, maybe its up to us now." Syera said with a smile.

"Yeah, you're right! let's go to find Zecora and find the cure for this madness." Apple Bloom said to Syera, the Saiyan nodded and followed the Young Pony to the Everfree Forest. However the others didn't notice since they were to preoccupied in their ridiculous argument.

"Alright....we're here Syera, let's go and find Zecora." Apple Bloom smiled as they went in.

"Right! let's go!" Syera said with an eager smile to go find Zecora and get rid of this joke plaguing her and her friends.

"Now wait just a minute there!" Applejack then popped out of Apple Bloom's tail.

"Wait, Applejack? what are you doing in Apple Bloom's tail?" Syera then asked with her arms crossed.

"I was trying to make sure my sister was safe! now Apple Bloom, turn around right now this instant young lady." Applejack said as she then ordered her sister but then Apple Bloom layed it down flat.

"No." Apple Bloom retorted back to Applejack.

"What?! No, you can back talk your big sister!" Applejack said angrily, however Apple Bloom then put her on a branch nearby so she couldn't get down.

"Sorry Applejack, but I'm a the big sister now, so why don't you wait here while me and Syera find a cure for this thing you girls have." Apple Bloom said walking away confidently.

"Well, you heard her AJ, but don't worry. I got her back all the way in case things go south, I promise." Syera said walking after Apple Bloom deeper in the Everfree Forest.

"Wait! Syera! Apple Bloom! come back here! aw....pony feathers...." Applejack said in disgust as she was stuck up on that branch since she was so tiny. This caused a chuckle from Apple Bloom and Syera as they walked off to find Zecora.

Eventually they came across a small hut not to far deep in the Everfree Forest surrounded with some masks, markings and some candlelights that lit up the place, it looked different from the rest of the forest.

"This looks like the Place." Syera said as she then approached the Hut with Apple Bloom.

"Yeah, let's have a knock." Apple Bloom suggested and she made a small knock on Zecora's door.

"Is that a visitor knocking at the door? Maybe I should have swept the floor." Zecora mumbled inside the hut, this caused a little chuckle from Apple Bloom and Syera. Soon she open the door.

"Ah Syera and Little Apple Bloom, you have good news I assume?" Zecora asked us with a smile.

"Actually....I would like it to be that but....remember that stuff you warned me, Apple Bloom and the others about?" Syera asked Zecora about the blue flowers.

"Ah yes the Poison Joke, please don't tell me, it affect you and the ponyfolk?" Zecora asked worriedly.

"Yeah, it did Zecora, and we came here to you find a cure! please can you help us!" Apple Bloom pleaded to the Zebra.

"Hmm...do not fear little Apple Bloom. For I do have a remity for the cure of which you pursue." Zecora said with a smile then told them that "However, the remity I can brew. But I require ingredients to make the curable stew." Zecora required certain herbal ingredients.

"Ok then, tell us what you need Zecora and we'll get it for you." Syera said and soon Zecora explained to her and Apple Bloom of what they will need to retrieve.

Hearty Mushrooms, Blue Nightshade, Lavender, Dragon's Tongue, Cantis Roots, and some Juniper Berries. Soon the Saiyan and little farm pony went on a search for the ingredients.

"Ah found the Hearty Mushrooms!" Apple Bloom picked them and put em in a pouch she had.

"I got the Blue Nightshade and Lavender." Syera told her as they looked around.

"Alright! just a few more things and we got ourselves the cure!" Apple Bloom then bumped hoof and fist with Syera with a smile as they soon found the rest of which they needed.

After searching hard and long for the ingredients, Syera and Apple Bloom turned out successful.

"Yes! we got em all, now let's go get this cure made!" Syera cheered in joy with Apple Bloom.

"Yeah let's get going! the sooner we get these things to Zecora, the sooner we can get my sister and your friends, along with yourself cured!" Apple Bloom and Syera soon made their way back to Zecora's hut. However when they came back, there appeared to be a lot of commotion inside her place.

"Wait...what is going on in there?" Syera asked worriedly since it sounded bad.

"I don't know! but it doesn't sound good." Apple Bloom said as they rushed back to the hut. As the two entered Zecora's hut, they found out that it seemed like an entire confrontation erupted inside. Twilight and the others decided to trash the place, even the brew that was gonna be used to cure them!

"What the goddamn shit is going on in here?!" Syera asked angrily and shocked since everything was a mess!

"Yeah, and Zecora we got the things you needed but....why did all this happen?"

"Apple Bloom, Syera! you're ok!" Applejack screamed out in joy.

"Well yeah, why wouldn't we be?" the two asked both of them

"Because Zecora is an evil enchantress who cursed us and was gonna cook you up into soup!" Twilight blurted out.

"W..what?!" Syera and Apple Bloom heard this, this caused them not fear but laughter instead.

"Oh sweet Celestia....Twilight you can't be serious, you know that I know that you know there are no such things as curses." Syera explained still laughing with Apple Bloom

"Syera's right, this isn't a curse, if anything you guys have been played by nothing but a harmless joke." Apple Bloom said as she regained her composure.

"I don't think I would quite call this harmless Darling, I look a mess!" Rarity said as she was still a walking bush of hair.

"A joke? what do you mean?" Twilight was confused.

"Zecora, mind explainin' to em?" Apple Bloom asked politely. Then Zecora smiled and proceeded to explain the whole situation of what has happened to em.

"If you will remember back, the words I spoke were quite exact." Zecora then said and they thought back to what she said.
"Beware, beware you pony folk. Those leaves of blue are not a joke."

"Don't you get it girls, she was warning us about those Blue Flowers, its called Poison Joke!" Apple Bloom and Syera explained further since they didn't seem to get it.

"That plant is much like poison oak. But its results are like a joke." Zecora added to their explanation.

"What in the hay does that mean?" Applejack said confused of the way Zecora talked and explained.

"It means this plant does not breed wrath. Instead this plant just wants a laugh." Zecora told the little Applejack who still had her adorable squeaky voice.
"Will somepony please talk normal?"

"I think what she's saying is that when we ran to stop Syera and Apple Bloom from entering the Everfree forest any further, we ran into the poison joke. All our problems are just little jokes it played on us." Twilight explained to the others.

"Little jokes?! Very funny." Applejack aggravated at the very crappy pun of being little.

"Okay, fine. But what about the cauldron?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"And the chanting?" Fluttershy added with her deep voice

"And the creepy décor?" Rarity asked, blowing a few strands of hair out her face.

"Treasures of the native land where I am from. This one speaks 'hello', and this 'welcome'." Zecora explained as she looked at all the props and masks from her homeland.

"Not welcoming at all, if you ask me." Rarity retorted to her claim.

"I find them pretty cool Zecora, it brings on a vibe from another land, its amazing." Syera added which made Zecora smile and then say.

"I appreciate your sentiment, my Saiyan friend. I too wish to learn a bit more from you and little Apple Bloom in the end."

"And the words I chanted were from olden times. Something you call a nursery rhyme." Zecora explained.

"But the cauldron... The Syera and Apple Bloom soup?" Twilight still was confused and wondered if Syera and Apple Bloom were gonna me be made into soup.

"Lookie here Twilight. That pot of water wasn't for us, it was for all these herbal ingredients." Apple Bloom told and Syera added in.

"The cure for poison joke is a simple old-natural remedy. You just gotta take a bath with some herbal elements." Syera explained with a smile.

"But I tried to find a cure in all my books and couldn't find anything. What book has this natural remedy?" Syera asked.

"Funny you should ask Twilight, its a book you refused to read." Syera explained and Zecora then showed Twilight the book.

"Here is the book, you see? Sad that you lack it in your library." Zecora said with a smile as she showed Twilight the book.

"Actually, I do have this book, but I didn't look inside because the title was so... Weird. Supernaturals: Natural Remedies and Cure-alls That Are Simply Super. And Syera is right, I refused to read it because of that reason. I...I... I'm so sorry, Zecora. I had the answer the whole time, if only I had bothered to look inside." Twilight was so disappointed in herself, this caused a chuckle from Zecora.

"Maybe next time you will take a second look, and not judge the cover of the book." Zecora told Twilight.

"Yeah, take me for Example." Syera added which caused a chuckle from Apple Bloom and Zecora.

"Yeah, that is true. But Zecora? Would you be kind enough to mix up another batch of the herbal bath, please?" Twilight asked nicely and the others gave her a soft begging look.

"Mix it up I certainly will. Yet I am missing an herb from Ponyville." Zecora explained as she needed one ingredient but couldn't get it since everypony is afraid of her.

"Remember how we said we'd help ya out Zecora?" Apple Bloom said and Syera finished.

"Well the time is now to help you, let's go get this whole fiasco cleared out." Syera, Apple Bloom, Zecora and the gang soon headed back to Ponyville, of course when they all entered with Zecora, this caused a serious uproar of shock from the ponies there.

"Look Rose! How awful!" We heard Rose scream along with a few other ponies, Lily Valley and Daisy. "The wicked enchantress has cursed them all." Rose continued. "The horror, the horror!" Lily screamed outloud

"Run, ponies! Run!" Daisy screamed as the other ponies ran inside.

However soon each of the ponies, Apple Bloom and Syera that were with Zecora then went onto explaining to each of the ponies what is really going on with Zecora.

"Lyra, we need to have a talk" Syera explained as she met her one close friend in Ponyville and explained to who Zecora is and what is going on.

Soon the six ponies, Apple Bloom and Syera went to the Spa to take this herbal bath, restoring themselves back to their normal states.

Pinkie no longer had that infected tongue. Fluttershy didn't sound like a guy. Rarity didn't look like a bush baby. Rainbow Dash could fly in a straight line. Twilight's horn was now back to normal and straight and not floppy and flaccid looking. Lastly Syera's hair returned to its natural dark color and not Blonde like her Super Saiyan look.

"Ha!" Syera boosted up to Super Saiyan as she stepped out the bath when she was done, the ponies clapped their hooves when they saw that she was back to normal, while in the bath, she wore a one piece swimsuit that fit her perfectly. "I'd say this looks like a pure Super Saiyan, wouldn't you agree girls?" Syera asked them as she then held the state of transformation. They all nodded in agreement saying "Mhm" and Rainbow Dash then added in a cheerful voice. "As awesome as I remember when you first did it against Nightmare Moon!"

"Miss Zecora, I would love to get the recipe for this bath. It's simply luxurious!" Aloe asked Zecora if she could have the recipe for the herbal bath that they received.

"Applejack! Hey, where's Applejack?!" Apple Bloom asked worriedly, this caused a shock from the ponies that were still in the bath, hopefully they didn't sit on her by accident.

"I'm right here, little sis. I ain't tiny no more!" Applejack said as she was now back to normal size from the tiny bath she was in, but she was now too big for the little bath as being in her normal size now.

"Oh! I have never felt so lovely in all my life!" Rarity said as she now felt so great that all that extra hair is gone.

"Oh, my gosh! I never realized how horrible it is not to be able to talk. I mean, I love talking so much, and when I couldn't talk anymore, my tongue was all 'ehhhh'! It was the worst! Don't you agree, Fluttershy?" Pinkie Pie talked up a storm and asked for Fluttershy's opinion.

"Yes.." Fluttershy said in her normal voice, this caused a sigh of relief that the poison joke is now officially out of the Six Ponies and Saiyan.

"Ah good, looks like everypony is back to normal. all thanks you Zecora." Syera said as she thanked her Zebra friend.

"Not a problem, you see. I am always able to lend you a hoof, and offer my remidies." Zecora said as she shook the Super Saiyan's hand with her hoof with gratitude.

This marks a new chapter in Syera and the 6 ponies adventures in Ponyville. Now that they met Zecora and made good friends with her, what awaits them now? The way to find out is to wait, and Syera has plenty of time to find out.

For now, she joined her Ponyville friends and sister in the fine Herbal bath that was made from Zecora's recipe. "Ahhh....I needed this....." Syera said and the others agreed and all did a satisfying sigh as they relaxed in the bath together.

Chapter 12: Attack of the Cutiesprites!

View Online

Last time on Syera: The Equestrian Saiyan!

They met Zecora, a Zebra who lived in the Everfree Forest. She was gossiped about as well as said to be an Evil Enchantress who does Evil Dances, according to Pinkie Pie's Knowledge.

However none was true, except that she is a true friend to Syera and the Six ponies who helped them over come the infectious plant known as Poison Joke with her herbal bath recipe.

Now, what awaits Syera and her friends? find out now!

cue intro music ~ Attack of the Cutiesprites!

Syera was standing atop of the Golden Oak Library, her eyes closed as she was focusing on something. "Hmm....." as her eyes were closed, she could sense and feel almost everything around her.

Twilight was watching her, also being completely silent and she took notes on what she was going to do. "Ok sis, what are you up to?" Twilight wondered to herself as she watched her sister concentrate on something, who knows what.

Syera then opened her eyes. Tensed up a little bit, and soon let loose a small shockwave of energy. It may have been small to her, however it had enough force to move its way across Ponyville and further beyond it. Almost everypony, within a 20 mile radius could feel the pulse of her energy. "So this is the extent of my power." Syera said as she could feel the burst of it reaching out before dissipating into thin air

"Oh wow! Syera that was incredible, what was that?!" Twilight sounded excited at what her sister did. Syera then proceeded to explain. However, the shockwave of Ki energy kinda made a bit of a ruckus in the Library and places nearby.

"I concentrated for at a few minutes so I could get a bearing of the town's layout, I could see and feel everyponys' energy, even yours as you scribbled down those notes. I then sent out a bit of excess Ki, I'd say it was about 5 percent of my energy pushed out. And......oh wow, I think we should clean up in the Library." Syera said as she stepped off the roof and onto the balcony where Twilight is and saw the Library was a big mess.

"I got all of that down Syera, wow only five percent of your power was pushed out, I can't imagine what it could be like if you did 100% of your energy." Twilight then realized what Syera said about the Library being a mess from the shockwave, along with her mess of midnight readings on top of it. "Oh uh...yeah.....I guess we do have to clean this up, we should hurry too. When the Princess gets here, we need to make sure this place is spotless, and also the town's preparations for her arrival." Twilight and Syera, as well as Spike then got to work cleaning the library. Syera was still awestruck on how only five percent of her power pushed out did all of this. On that note, it left Syera thinking realistically, if she did release 100% of her energy out in one big burst, what would happen?

"Hurry up Spike, this place isn't gonna clean itself from the mess." Twilight said as she was picking some books up off the floor, and dusted some areas off with a feather duster. Same goes with Syera as she was up high stacking some books back where they were since nearly all the books came off the wall from that Ki shockwave that she let out.

"This place also didn't make the mess itself you know." Spike said angrily.

"Yeah I'm sorry Spike, I was testing out something on the rooftop of the library. Only to find out the results sent a small shockwave out from my Ki energy. So....yeah this happened, especially on top of Twilight's mess of reading multiple books at once." Syera explained, apologizing to Spike and tell it's not completely her fault, just she made it a bit worse.

"Guys cut the chatter, Princess Celestia is gonna be here tomorrow, we definitely want this place to look presentable." Twilight said as she kept dusting off different parts of the Library.

"Twilight, relax. Besides it's just a casual visit right? She just wants to know how much we've improved in our time in Ponyville right?" Syera claimed and she was right, Twilight couldn't disagree.

"You're right, but still this is the Princess we're talking about. There's nothing casual about royalty coming down to visit our town." Twilight explained.

"How so? Princess Celestia may be our Princess but that doesn't mean she can't have casual visits from time to time. Especially with Princess Luna, she is still recovering from the Nightmare Moon thing, that's a tough thing to deal with on a daily basis along with current events from all around Equestria, so I can't blame her from wanting to come down and take a break and see us. The last time I saw her and Luna, me and Spike were up in Canterlot doing some important business while you were down here. By the way, you still haven't told me the whole story of how that slumber party went with Applejack and Rarity yet." Syera asked her sis, still wondering about how that thing went.

"There will be time for that later, anyway, we should focus on getting this place clean." Twilight then got to work more.

"Twilight, you should really take Syera's advice and read one book at a time.....agh!" Spike fell off the latter as he tried to get a stack of books on the shelf but they were too heavy.

"Careful Spike, here let me help you." Syera then took the books he had and put em on the shelf.

"You know it'd probably be easier if there weren't three of us in here all at once walking over each other's feet or hooves." Spike said which gave Twilight an idea.

"Great Idea! I'll go oversee the preparations in town while you and Syera clean." Twilight then took out the door. "Wait that's not what I....agh....." Spike sighed in annoyance but Syera patted him on his back lightly in reassurance.

"Don't worry Spike, I got your back. Now, let's get this done." Syera and Spike then got to work on cleaning up the Library. Soon after they were done and the place was sparkling clean, Syera decided to check up on Twilight, as well as see some of the preparations herself. Saying her goodbyes to Spike, Syera used Instant Transmission to go to where Twilight was currently at. Which now happened to be Sugarcube Corner, along with their other Ponyville friends.

"Hey Twilight, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie. What's going on? And....what...are those?" Syera said pointing at what appeared be little round bugs with big green eyes with tiny legs, one was brown, one was yellow and the other was green.

"I have no idea, but they're so adorable." Fluttershy smiled as she nuzzled one of them. "Would you like one?" She asked.

"Um...no, I'm good." Syera responded and kindly refused the offer.

"I'll take one off your hooves. I've never seen anything so... adorable. Besides, it'll be nice to have a companion for Spike so he be bothered by me so much while I'm studying late at night." Twilight then took one of them, it the yellow bug of the bunch that Fluttershy had.

"How about you Pinkie?" Fluttershy asked her pink party pony friend.

"A Parasprite?! are you kidding me....eck no....plus this means I gotta go find a trombone." Pinkie said in disgust as then ran towards the door.

"A para-what?" Twilight asked confused.

"Wait, Pinkie? why do you need a trombone?" Syera asked wondering what is she up to. "I'll explain everything on why I need one if you agree to help me search for one." Pinkie told Syera that she'll need help getting a trombone.

"Um ok? Sure I'm in, let's go find us a Trombone." Syera then followed Pinkie around town wondering where they could possibly find a Trombone.

"Aha! Syera over here! I found a trombone!" Pinkie then gave showed the Trombone to Syera. "Ok, mind explaining why a trombone?" Syera then asked.

"Ok, look you know those things that Fluttershy brought in at Sugarcube Corner?" Pinkie asked Syera.

"Um...those Parasprite thingys right? what about em?" Syera asked, obviously not knowing a single thing about em.

"Parasprites are very bad news, and if we don't find the instruments on this list here, we're gonna be experiencing a very bad time." Pinkie explained handing Syera the list of instruments they need.

"A trombone. An Accordion. A Harmonica. A Banjo. Maracas? A Tuba? Cymbals? A Tambourine? A Flute and a set of drums?" Syera was very confused after reading the list, stuffing it in her pocket, then looked at Pinkie. "Are you sure about these Pinkie?" She asked concerned if these instruments are really the key to getting rid of these Parasprite bugs.

"Yes! it is important we get these Instruments before tomorrow, ya know the Princess arriving and all." Pinkie said.

"You're right, its important we get rid of these things quickly. though I could incinerate them....but no....I couldn't destroy something that only does what nature selected it for." Syera said with a serious look as she could feel a shift in the wind. It could only mean one thing, and that is to trust Pinkie Pie and collect these instruments.

"That is true, I may not like the Parasprites, but I don't want you to kill them. So let's get to work Syera." Pinkie Pie and Syera got to work finding the instruments. However, they were only able to find 2 of the instruments for the day. Pinkie invited Syera to stay the night so they could be ready for tomorrow.

"Syera, its best you stay with me for the night, we need to get up extra, extra early in order to find the instruments." Pinkie Pie explained.

"Alright, let's get some shut eye for the night." Syera soon layed down on the airbed next to Pinkie's bed, which her Pink Pony friend set up for her to sleep in Pinkie's room in the loft above Sugarcube Corner. She took her shoes and gloves off, but kept her Gi on. The next morning, the duo continued their search. They were able to find a harmonica since Applejack allowed them to borrow it. "Alright....now to find a Banjo...." Syera said.

"Ooo! I know where to find one, I always kept one at Sugarcube Corner, just in case this happened." Pinkie smiled brightly, so they got the Banjo and looked for the next instrument.

"Maracas?" Syera then thought of a place. then the two both smiled when they both thought of the same place. "The School house!" Miss Cheerlie should be able to let them enter the band room if they ask nicely enough. Luckily, it seems Cheerlie did since we broke down what was going on with the Parasprites and stuff. So they got a pair of Maracas for both of them, along with two tubas.

"Wait, weren't there supposed to be some Cymbals here too?" Pinkie asked.

"Um I believe Featherweight borrowed them so he could practice for band class." Cheerilee told us. We then decided to pay him a visit.

"Pinkie, grab hold, were gonna go see Featherweight then, thanks for these Ms Cheerilee, we'll see you around." Syera thanked the kind teacher, and then had Pinkie grab hold of her arm and she used Instant Transmission. They soon appeared before Featherweight. They were able to get the Cymbals for him no problem.

"Alright! we got three more to go Pinkie, I can't believe how much progress we made." Syera said, Pinkie and her giggled a little.

"Oh yeah! these cymbals will do amazing work for us." Pinkie said, however they flew away since there was a sudden gust of wind, a strong one at that.

"Wait...what's going on!?" Syera then looked ahead and saw Rainbow Dash was doing something, she was doing some sort of Hyper-Tornado move.

"Wait! Rainbow Dash, stop! We need those cymbals!" Syera called out. However it was to late." They flew off somewhere fast. Luckily Syera was able to catch them before they flew and hit something and get potentially damaged.

"Whoa! I can't hold this much longer!" Rainbow Dash screamed as she lost control of the Hyper Tornado. As soon as she did though, all of these Parasprites came rushing out in a serious swarm.

"Whoa!? just how many of these guys are there?!" Syera wondered as a lot of them came rushing out and then headed to Ponyville to eat all of the food and crops.

"This isn't good" Syera said and Pinkie Agreed.

"Yeah, we don't have much time. We need to hurry and get the remaining Instruments Syera." Pinkie said as she hurried along with Syera. However they were stopped by Twilight's spell to stop them in their tracks.

"Pinkie! Syera, you two just ruined our plan to get rid of these things!" Twilight told them, however this caused the two to get mad.

"Wait, your plan?! we were already 3 steps away from getting our plan done!" Syera explained and soon broke out of her spell with a sudden burst of Ki.

"And ruined, we're actually trying to fix this! you ruined it by almost making our Cymbals fly off somewhere!" Pinkie said with a bit of annoyance.

"Oh come on girls, we don't have time to deal with their shenanigans, we need to get rid of these things!" Applejack said as she and the others then left in a hurry.

"Come on Pinkie, we need to find those last few instruments!" Syera told her and she nodded in agreement.

"Right! let's get going!" Pinkie said and the duo continued their search before it was too late.

They soon found the Tambourine and the set of drums. The only thing missing now was a flute. It happened to be in Rarity's Boutique, however when they came in, there were a whole bunch of Parasprites eating....her dresses? wait what? I thought they were eating the food, not clothes or anything else! "Rarity, what the hell is going on, why are they consuming your prized clothing?!" Syera asked in shock.

"Well Twilight cast a spell to stop them from eating the food and crops but, now they started to eat everything else!" Rarity explained.

"Oh good grief.....Twilight, it would be better if they ate the food, now they're destroying the town!" Syera said horrified.
"Pinkie, I hope this plan you have will work!" Syera said terrified.

"Don't worry, we got the last thing we need! The Flute, which is what I'll need you to play while I handle the rest!" Pinkie explained as she set up all the instruments on her.

"Got it, you sure you can play all 9 of those instruments on your own?" Syera asked her.

"Watch me. Alright, ready?" Pinkie asked her Saiyan comrade.

"Yeah, let's rock this thing." Syera said and soon they started playing each instrument.

"Ok, hit it" Pinkie said, soon Syera started off with the first few notes of the music. Then soon Pinkie followed suite, this uproar of music suddenly gave the whole town a new vibe. This caused the Parasprites to stop their rampage on the town and follow the Pink Pony and Saiyan. Their music was very loud and attractive.

"Ok, looks like Pinkie's plan worked! these little buggers are following us!" Syera thought to herself as they continued to play the music till they were at the edge of Ponyville. Little did the duo of Musicians noticed the Princess had arrived already on the scene, luckily they were able to get rid of the Parasprites that were in Ponyville.

"Phew.....glad that is over, they're gone. Man, I'm glad I learned how to play this flute so fluently." Syera said.

"Yeah, you were awesome Syera, I couldn't have done this without you, and look, these meanie Parasprites are gone for good!" Pinkie said with a bright smile as she had all of her instruments on her.

Soon the duo were met by the other ponies including Princess Celestia herself.

"Princess Celestia, forgive us for the loud ruckus, it's kinda a long story." Syera and Pinkie Pie explained to her.

"Don't worry, whatever it was about, it seemed quite important for the current task of getting rid of those pests that Twilight and the others told me about. Now, I have to apologize as well since I have to cut this visit short since there is a little bit of a....."infestation" in Fillydelphia, so my subjects there require my attention." The Princess explained, then soon she left but then said one more thing to Syera.

"And Syera, keep up the good work, I hope to see you, Twilight and your new friends very soon." Celestia told her, this caused Syera to nod with a smile. "I will, and good luck handling this infestation you were talking about." Syera said as she waved goodbye to the Princess along with the others.

"Syera, Pinkie Pie. How did you know how to get rid of the Parasprites?" Twilight asked in shock at their sudden performance of music.

"I honestly didn't know it would work, but Pinkie here was the one with the idea in mind. It seems obvious that this has happened before, right?" Syera asked Pinkie.

"Yeah, a wise pony told me that the only way to get rid of Parasprites was to play a combination of 10 instruments all at once." Pinkie explained

"So that's why you two were bend on getting those instruments!" Rainbow Dash said in realization.

"Yup, I honestly doubted the plan at first, but I had to take a chance, Pinkie Pie is my friend after all." Syera said.

"And friends got each other's backs in the end." Pinkie said with a smile and soon, her and the Syera shared a small hug. The others grouped in as well in hug for a bit.

"Hmm.....now to clean up this mess." Syera said as she looked at the town. It was a disaster indeed. They needed to get started on repairs for the town. but before they did, Pinkie did one last song with her Trombone, it was the sound of failure. This caused all Seven of them to laugh whole heartily and smile.

"Alright everypony, let's do this." Twilight told Syera and her friends as they rallied up the ponies in town to get details on the damage on the buildings and crops that were eaten, cause surely they were low on food and the buildings were barely holding together.

As repairs went on in the town. Syera wondered if there are going to be any more crazy events such as this.

Only way to find out was to have patience and time, its all Syera and the others can do for the time beings. With the Gala being a month and a half away, who knows what'll happen between now and to the Gala.

Chapter 13 (Prequel) - What happens in Canterlot, stays in Canterlot

View Online

Last Time on Syera: The Equestrian Saiyan!

Syera and Pinkie Pie were able to clear out the cute, yet dangerous and destructive infestations known as Parasprites. Now as the town's ponies rebuild their homes, the time of peace was once again restored.

Twilight had the time to tell Syera about the slumber party she had with Rarity and Applejack. She was glad that Applejack and Rarity were able to get along so well, despite their differences. However, what happened while she and Spike were in Canterlot. What did Syera and Spike get summoned by Princess Celestia for?

Find out, today!

Cue intro music ~ What happens in Canterlot, stays in Canterlot

It was about 2 weeks prior before the spread of Parasprites in Ponyville. Syera and Spike were summoned up to Canterlot for about 2 days on royal business. Or so they thought that is what they have been summoned for.

Soon coming off the train at Canterlot Station, the two came off with a few bags, containing things they'll need for their business trip. However, Spike had something on his mind.

"Hmm...." Spike hummed nervously, which caught Syera by surprised as she walked by his side with her arms up and over her shoulders, her hands touching her head. "What's wrong Spike?" Syera asked.

"Well....I know I've been sent on business of Royalty before but.....it feels different for some reason, I can't shake this eerie feeling that something is gonna happen." Spike explained, Syera sighing in agreement.

"Yeah, it is true. The Princess does seem to be busy lately with dealing with current events and all that spread all over Equestria. But something does feel off, I don't know why? Maybe is it because now that Princess Luna is back? the whole vibe at night does seem a little weird at times." Syera said, however this caught Spike's attention.

"Wait...odd? how, like more stary nights or the full moon?" Spike asked, hinting at Syera.

"What, no! its not that, trust me. If I were feeling like that, I'd be going on a rampage as a giant monster. And I don't want that, and neither would you or anypony to be exact." Syera told Spike.

"Even Princess Celestia?" Spike asked worried.

"Yeah, even Princess Celestia." Syera said with a serious tone, confirming that if that situation did come about again, then it would be a problem. For her sake and probably Canterlot as well.

Syera and Spike soon made their way to the castle, the guards knew who they were and let them in. Soon they were greeted with the Princess herself. The two bowed in respect.

"Spike, Syera. I'm glad you could make it, now what I have called you both here is of a big matter that could effect Equestria drastically." Princess Celestia then explained further. "Spike, I need your help with the paperwork involved in Royal matters, and Syera." Princess Celestia then looked at her Saiyan student.

"Yes Princess?" Syera asked as she kneeled before her teacher.

"Please, watch over my sister." Celestia told her softly. This sudden task shocked Syera a bit.

"Wait, you want me to look after Princess Luna?!" Syera asked surprised as she wasn't prepared for this at all! Taking care of maybe a few papers with Spike and her would be easy, but this?!

"Yes, I've been so caught up in trying to help Luna regain her strength and gain complete control of the moon as it rises in the night sky. I am trusting you my student, that you carry out this task. Please, for me.....And my dear sister." Celestia almost seemed to beg Syera to watch her.

"Ok, I will look after Princess Luna. I promise that to you." Syera said with a smile as she kneeled to Celestia. However, what Syera also didn't expect was how affectionate and emotionally Celestia was being, instead of telling her the usual "Good, I expect good results" or something like that, instead she walked up to her, then proceeded to give the Saiyan a hug. Syera responded with one of her own.

"Thank you Syera, it means a lot that you can help my sister. I need her safe, now more than ever and ready to take full control of our nights from now on." Celestia then held Syera for a few more moments, but when Syera had enough of the affection, she just patted Celestia on the back lightly.

"Yea, I understand Princess." Syera said with a smile, she then placed two fingers on her head to use Intsant Transmission to go to Luna. But before she left.

"Wait, Syera take this and place it on your left arm." Celestia said as she gave Syera some sort of armband pendent, it wrapped around her left arm perfectly.

"What's this armband for?" Syera asked a bit confused.

"It's to help Princess Luna with her control when it is her time to lower and raise the moon as the nightfall begins." Celestia explained.

"Ok, thanks." Syera then turned and looked at Spike for a moment. "Good luck Spike, try not to get to many wrist cramps ok?" She asked with a smile.

"Don't worry Syera, I've got the technique down. If I feel a cramp, I'll just have to relax and roll it nice and slowly around in a circle." Spike said explaining the technique Syera told him to do of he gets a wrist cramp. "And good luck to you taking care of Princess Luna." Spike waved goodbye as Syera left using Instant Transmission to where Princess Luna is.

When Syera arrived to where Luna was, it became difficult to see since wherever she was, it was extremely...

"Dark......it really dark in here. I need a light." Syera said, she soon decided to boost her Ki a little so her aura could create a clear white glow. However a small voice emerged from the shadows of the room. Even though Syera grew bright in her Aura, she could only see but only 1 or 2 feet in front of her.

"Wait....could it be...is it really you? the Super Saiyan?" the voice said, it sounded like Nightmare Moon.....Only it wasn't since it didn't sound evil, but had a more mischievous and younger sound to it.

"Um....excuse me, who are you and where are you?" Syera asked, still wondering who is there as she looked around but couldn't get a beat on where the voice was coming from....

"It is us Super Saiyan, Princess Luna." All of a sudden, what appeared to be an Alicorn stepping out of the shadows. She looked different from the Princess Luna that Syera saw before.

"Huh? you're Princess Luna?" Syera asked, not recognizing Princess Luna at all, her form now seemed similar to Princess Celestia only she was a bit shorter but by not much, she came up to Syera's chest height so she had to look down a little at her. She had a billowing mane like Celestia only it was blue and dark as the night sky with stars shining in it. She looked very matured, her body shape was obviously different. Her cutie mark was the moon as it was before only that part of her coat on her flanks was covered in black this time. She still had the same slippers and royal attire and crown on like before.

As she approached Syera, her wings spread open wide, revealing her wing span which was pretty impressive.

"Yes it is us Syera the Super Saiyan, and I assume you are here to look after us while my sister works on her royal duties?" Princess Luna spoke in a third person perspective, it seemed off to Syera but she quickly adjusted to it.

"Yeah, I'm going to watch over you, or at least help you when you raise the moon." Syera explained, but soon Luna got even closer to Syera, she looked all over her, examining her, lifting up her arms, touching her tail, this kinda took Syera by surprise and she blushed a little since she wasn't used to somepony touching her like this, or at least the way Luna was. "Um? Princess, what are you doing if you don't mind me asking?" She asked nervously.

"We want to get a good look at of you at each angle." She explained, and soon as as she was done, she then gave Syera a serious and demanding look.

This caused Syera to gulp a little in wondering what she is gonna do to her. Did she have pent up aggression on Syera because of her becoming a Super Saiyan and becoming one with one of the seven elements? who ended up defeating her as Nightmare Moon?

"Syera, show us how much control you have as a Super Saiyan." Princess Luna ordered.

"Wait.....right now? are you sure?" Syera asked, but then Luna raised her voice at her.

"Did we stutter, show us or we shall make you!" Princess Luna shouted, that must be the Canterlot royal voice she used.

"Hmm? Make me, how?" Syera asked, which was the wrong answer since Luna then charged Syera and appeared behind her, striking a hoof forward hitting her in the back like a punch.

"Ack!? Oww, ah!" before Syera could react, Princess Luna spun her around twice and kicked her to the otherside of the room, luckily the Saiyan was able to recover from it quickly. "Wha....Princess what are you doing?!" Syera asked as she didn't expect this at all.

"I want to see and experience your power again! If you don't show me, I will make you feel pain beyond anything you have ever felt before!" Princess Luna said as she charged again and hit Syera with a few bucks and forward charges, she soon shot a few energy beams at her, they were small and blue but were powerful.

"Ahhh!?" Syera screamed as she saw blue beams coming at her and she dodged them and soon she deflected one, bad mistake.

"Oweeee!!! jeez, what was that? that stung!" Syera said as she saw it scorched her hand, luckily it was only the surface of her white glove. However it did leave a small burn on top of it.

"I'm surprised you are able to deflect one of those Syera, that was just a taste of my power." Princess Luna told as she now again charged Syera again.

"Well, I wasn't ready for it Princess. but fine....I will do as you command and show you! Ngrahhhh! Ha......" Syera then transformed within a flash into Super Saiyan and gave the Princess of the Night a serious look.

This made Princess Luna's eyes widen in shock. "So it is true....you can control it all the way." She said in surprised but then she smiled. "Well now, this changes everything. Then show us the power of it, no holding back!" Princess Luna then charged Syera again, only this time when she appeared behind her, Syera quickly blocked her attack by grabbing her hoof and countering.

"Yah!" Syera leaned forward and rocketed a punch into the Princess's chest.

"Ack!" Princess Luna flew back, tumbling a bit as she was launched forward. "So this is the power of you, we love it." Soon the Princess's eyes glowed a bright white, she was really getting serious now.

She then clashed with Syera for a bit more, then they layed each a hit of even power and launched away from each other.

"Wow Princess Luna, you really are strong, now this is what I like to call a fun time!" Syera said smirking as she faced the lunar royal sister in a heated clash.

"Oh but believe us Super Saiyan, we have only just begun." Her horn then shined a blinding light at Syera, which caused her to force her eyes shut and guard while Luna came at her serious speed, then proceeded to whale on the Saiyan with bucks and hoof stomps at serious speed.

"Nrg!" Syera was buckling under the pressure of receiving blow after blow from Luna, till finally.

"Rahhhh! Gah!" Syera's guard broke and this is when Princess Luna went to work on the Super Saiyan, pummeling her with every stomp and kick she had in stock.

"Come now, is this really all you got!? I am quite frankly disappointed!" Princess Luna spoke with anger, however she didn't know what Syera was capable of. This is when the Saiyan then grabbed Luna by the legs and then proceed to spin her around a few times.

"Enough! HAAAAAAAYAH!" Syera then let of the Princess and made her fly into the wall and crack it, small rubble shards coming out in the process.

Syera was pretty battered up, scratches and bruises dawning her body and a bit of her face. Her eye was a bit bruised but not to much, she was bleeding a little from her mouth, the scent of blood being spilled from her body made her even more serious than before.

"My turn" Syera said with a serious tone as she rushed Princess Luna at very fast speed and started throwing punches and kicks, once she beat her enough, she stopped once she thought the Princess had enough.

However, when Syera stepped back from Luna, something very odd was heard. Was it.....Laughter? Coming from Princess Luna, what is laughing about? This sudden laughter made Syera kinda confused and worried cause she do go all out on Luna, now the Saiyan was worried she did to much. Syera was about to approach the Lunar Princess and call this fight off with a truce.

But all of a Sudden, Luna then looked at Syera with a crazy smile. "Yes....this strength you have, you truly are one. But one last game.......HA!" The Princess shot a small beam at Syera, it blew up in the Saiyan's face. However it did nothing but her.

When Syera looked where Luna was, she was hovering above in the air near the ceiling of the chamber they were in.

Her horn started to glow a bright blue, it seemed to be gathering power for a serious energy beam. "Ah!? wait, what are you doing?!" This caused Syera to gasp in fear as she could feel how much energy the Princess was gathering.

"Wait.....Princess Luna! That is too much energy, you could end up destroying not only us but all of Equestria as well!" Syera screamed at her, warning the consequences.

"That is the point, this is to now test all your strength, so push it back with all you got! Don't let this hit the ground beneath you!" Princess Luna stated as she hovered above the large room and charged the energy wave.

"Alright, fine.....I give you one last request Princess Luna, bring it!." Syera said as she cupped her hands together, charging her own energy wave attack.

"Yes, show me all the power you hold Syera! Ha!" Princess Luna screamed out to the Saiyan as she blasted the Equestria shattering attack at Syera.

"Here! Super Celestial Wave!!!!!!!" Syera screamed back as she threw her cupped hands forward and up at the Princess's beam.

Soon both their attacks hit and impacted each other, contesting and struggling. Only one would come to victory.

"Ngh....aghhhhhhh!!!!!" Syera screamed as she struggled to hold her beam.

"Come now, show us more of that Super Saiyan power inside yourself!" Princess Luna demanded and pushed her beam even stronger.

"Damn....I have no choice.....this is it!" Syera then pushed further with her energy. She seemed to be making the battle of this beam struggle one sided, however it came at a cost.

"Ahhhhhhh!!!!!" Syera screamed and her golden glow was now even brighter than before as she pushed more power into the golden Super Celestial Wave, it overwhelmed Princess Luna's attack, luckily she was able to dodge it. The beam rushed out the side of the castle's roof, rubble coming down from the hole it made as it shot in the sky and exploded.

However, after the struggle....Syera soon turned out of Super Saiyan. That energy output she pushed out.....Put her out for the count.

With a hard thump, Syera was flat on the ground with her eyes closed, arms and legs spread, her body limp and not a single muscle moving at all. Not even a single finger twitch, however Princess Luna was too awe-shocked by her power.

"Hazah! That was amazing, wouldn't you agree with us Syera?!" Princess Luna asked in a childlike tone with excitement. Only soon she witnessed that the young Saiyan was on the floor, out cold.

With a gasp, the Princess rushed over to Syera's side. "Oh no! I pushed you to hard....please tell us thou are ok?!" Only to come know, Syera was barely breathing. Princess Luna noticed that and checked her pulse, she was on the brink of death. It was faint but the heartbeats were getting slower, that last attack took too much out of her.

"No! please Syera, stay with us! We can't lose you, you must stay with us! Equestria needs you, Twilight Sparkle needs you with her, even my sister and your friends need you, you cannot die yet!" Princess Luna then used her magic to heal her, a night blue aura then covered Syera's entire body, healing any kind of wear and tear she had on her body internally and externally. Once done, Princess Luna's aura disappeared off Syera.

With a gasp, Syera opened her eyes and lifted her back off the ground and then proceeded to cough a little. "Aggkkk! auogh......what happened......." Syera said weakly, she held a hand up to her chest breathing heavily, she then noticed Princess Luna by her side.

"Its you, Princess Luna! You....what did you to me? All I remember is firing that blast at you, did I win?" Syera asked as she held her chest and panted heavily.

"Yes....you have won, we declare that you have. And we are very sorry that you had to go through such an intense amount of energy output. After the smoke cleared from the explosion, I saw you were out cold, are you ok?" Princess Luna asked worriedly.

"Yeah.....I'm a bit sore, it feels like my heart skipped a couple of beats." Syera explained as she then slumped on her back once more, she sighed and layed while under the hole of the roof. rain was coming down and soon nightfall would be upon them soon. Small rain droplets hit her on the face softly.

"It has because.....You nearly died, but we were lucky enough to revive you back from the death's hoof." Princess Luna explained, this shocked Syera a lot.

"Wait....are you saying I nearly died after that beam struggle?! I must have used too much power and my body couldn't keep up...." Syera was pushed very far, to much power for her own good and it almost caused her to die.

"It would seem, but count yourself lucky Syera, because when I got to you, your heart rate was dropping dramatically." Princess Luna explained, but soon hugged the Saiyan.

"We are very full of sorrow and sadness, we thought we had lost you for good, I Princess Luna, promise that we will not push you anymore than before." Luna told with a sad tone and soon hugged her. Syera hugged her back and smiled. Once the hug was broken, Syera stood up. However when she did, she couldn't find a reason to tell but....she felt different.

"Princess....I thank you for saving me from, but a near death experience......I feel.....?" Syera said as she looked at herself, she could tell that there was something different about herself, but she didn't know what till Luna then proceeded to explain.

"Yes, we have. And is....Different the word you are looking for yes?" Princess Luna smiled as she could tell as well that Syera was different. That near death experience occurred drastically changed her in strength by far.

"I feel.....so much stronger.....I don't even recognize myself at all anymore." Syera said, but then Luna explained something to the young Saiyan.

"Did Princess Celestia ever tell you one crucial thing about Saiyans, that you get even stronger than before when recovering from a near death experience?" Princess Luna then told more about what she meant.

"Think of it as you being reborn, only stronger. You have a similar aspects as to those of a Phenoix or Dragon, once recovered from a near death experience, you rise up from the ashes even stronger and brighter than your previous cycle. You are very special individual since you have this trait Syera, consider yourself very lucky." Luna told Syera, when she thought about it. She does seem very lucky indeed and won't ever second guess the chance of getting stronger, she strives for being the best since it is in her nature to fight strong opponents.

"Thank you Princess Luna, not only for reviving me, but making me stronger in the process. I can't even begin thank you enough." Syera smiled and soon hugged the Princess of the Night.

Soon Spike and Princess Celestia busted through the door, wondering what the heck was going on.

"Syera, are you alright?! Little Sister, what did you do to her?!" Celestia asked angrily looking at her sister.

"We tested her warrior's skills is all, I have only done it so I can see how much of a warrior she really is. We declare thou a true fighting warrior with a pure heart." Princess Luna said, but soon explained the hole in the roof. "There may have been a bit of an accident, however it isn't something too major." She explained, even though it was since Syera nearly died but was able to be healed back a clean bill of health thanks to Luna's magic.

"Syera, is she telling the truth? Did she really test your skills and valor as a warrior?" Princess Celestia asked the Saiyan, wondering if she can claim what Luna said is true.

Syera then looked at Luna and then back at Celestia and nodded yes. "Yes, it is true. And I passed her test of valor in strength in battle. And I feel so much stronger because of it, I honestly thought I'd nearly died during it because it was so intense." Syera told Celestia laughing a bit however Princess Celestia didn't laugh about it, as well as Spike.

"Wait are you serious?! Luna why did you try to push her near death?!" Princess Celestia said angrily at her sister.

"Hey, its ok Princess. I enjoy those kind of challenges because of the thrill and danger of it." Syera said defending Princess Luna. She was about to say something but then, her stomach growled loudly. "And also I'm very hungry because of it....." Syera said laughing a bit more, but this caused a laugh from all of them. Princess Celestia could only smile now, since it is in Syera's nature to be thrilled by dangerous situations.

With a sigh of relief, Celestia then spoke "I'll have the chefs prepare a big feast for you Syera, your favorites." hearing this made Syera very excited. Of course they could all go for a good meal since today for all of them was very hectic.

"Yeah, I can go for a bite to eat as well." Spike said as his stomach growled as well.

"Count us in the feast." Princess Luna said as she stood next to Syera.

Soon later the four went to the royal dining hall where a great spread of all kinda of food was prepared, Most of it was gonna be consumed by Syera. "Oh my, this looks fantastic!" the Saiyan said as she then sat at a seat and was ready to eat, but before she did, she did a quick prayer. "Thank Celestia for this food." She said as she put her hands together in a prayer fashion, as so did the others and soon they all started to feast.

"Om nom, onom! wow this is great!" Syera said in-between each dish she ate, all sorts of rare fish and meats, vegetables and all sorts of good pastas and starch foods. She ate to her hearts content. At the end of it all, she drank a whole lot of water and cider. "Wow....that great, just have enough room for desert." Syera said, all of them fell over in their chairs because of how much she could still eat.

"Ehehe, yeah....." Syera said as she lightly rubbed her head in embarrassment since it is very unladylike to eat so much.

So soon enough, they had desert and thus the rest of the evening was very quiet and smooth.

The hole in the roof in Luna's chambers was fixed, the moon rose out and into the sky with no problem at all.

For the rest of the time, after Syera helped Princess Luna raise the moon correctly and smoothly, Syera then hung with the Princess for a bit longer, they played some games, laughed and joked happily and enjoyed the time with each other and bonded pretty close as friends.

It was something Luna needed, a friend that could be with her and that enjoys her work on night sky.

Soon it was late in the night. Syera then went to find Spike who was hot and heavy with the rest of the paperwork for the night.

Syera then decided to help him organize the clutter of papers. It took them to around the stroke of midnight for them to finish and properly letter it in alphabetical order.

"Phew....It's done." Syera said as they concluded their completion on the file work that needed to be done.

"Thank Celestia, and thanks again for helping me Syera, so what exactly happened in there with Luna? Sure you passed her test, but there has to be more to it right?" Spike asked, since he knew something must have happened since he explained that they tried to get in but a magical barrier to Princess Luna's chambers was keeping him and Celestia out.

"Promise you won't tell anyone this, especially Twilight ok?" Syera told Spike.

"Yes, I promise not to tell a single pony about this. Cross my heart and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye." Spike said, Pinkie promising this to Syera.

"Ok, so it starts off like this." Syera then began to tell Spike about what had really happened in there. So at first Syera thought that Luna was examining her, but soon it got physical to the point where it got very violent. Princess Luna forced Syera to transform into a Super Saiyan to defend herself. Then it got even more serious, she explained the hole in the ceiling since there was an energy beam struggle. Syera won the confrontation, however.....The results of pushing herself too far were very fatal.

"Holy guacamole! you're saying you basically died almost and Princess Luna brought you back!? Dude, that's crazy...." Spike said in shock, even though its as crazy as it sounds, Syera was telling the absolute truth to the young dragon.

"Yea, but here's the really cool part, Since I came back from a near death experience Spike, I've gotten even stronger than I was before." Syera continued. "Since Princess Luna explained "Saiyans get stronger after each near death experience or battle that is seriously dangerous", and it's really awesome. She even said I'm like a Phoenix or something, where I get even stronger when I recover from being nearly sent to the grave." Syera said with a smile.

"So you get like some sort of permanent power boost huh? that really is cool....." Spike said with a yawn. "Anyway, we should get some rest, this paperwork has gotten me pooped...." Spike spoke groggily and tired.

"Yeah.....let's get some sleep, it's very late indeed..." Syera said as they soon got the paperwork in a folder and called it a night.

After they got the work filed in, the two both headed for the showers and cleaned themselves up before bed.

Syera soon stepped out the bathroom with a towel on her head and wore a white shirt with some grey shorts on. The same goes for Spike as she had a towel around him and a towel on his head, only he doesn't wear any clothes.

"Goodnight Spike..." Syera said as she crawled in bed. Spike doing the same as he got in the bed across from her.

"Goodnight Syera...." Spike said back to Syera as the two then began to fall asleep.

The next morning, the sun slowly rising up into the sky as Luna brought the moon down and Celestia bringing the sun up over the horizon. Soon the Saiyan and Dragon rise up from their slumber, the sun's rays peaking through the windows in their room.

"Mmm.....ahhhh...." Syera rose up with a groan and stretched with a yawn. Cracking her neck and back a little, as well as her fingers and soon got up from bed. "Ahh...man I'm hungry." Syera said as she walked past Spike's bed and too the bathroom.

"Yeah....me too..." Spike said as he got up and went into the bathroom with Syera, both of them brushed their teeth, washed their faces and such else.

Soon Syera got dressed in her normal Gi outfit, fixed up her hair so it was smooth and spiky as it usually was, even her bangs were straight and nice looking. Even though they usually hung in her face, they matched her look as always.

She and Spike then joined Celestia and Luna at breakfast.

"Morning you two, sleep well under Luna's graceful moon?" Princess Celestia asked.

"Yeah, and we saw it a bit after we finished the work we filed, it was beautiful Princess Luna." Syera said and Spike nodding in agreement.

Soon the 4 had breakfast, did their morning activities. Soon it was time for Syera and Spike to depart back to Ponyville, the two were escorted to the train station by the royal guard and the two Princesses. As the train was about to depart, Celestia and Luna had a few things to say.

"Spike, Syera, we both appreciate your hard work and effort here, we are glad to have such reliable students and helpers with these situations." Celestia said with a smile.

"We are very grateful, thank you Syera, for being with me the entirety of the previous evening. As well as helping me control the night and also your resolve of passing my test." Princess Luna said with a smile and gave a wink at Syera, she winked back while crossing her arms.

"It was not a problem. I'm glad I could help, and I'm glad I passed your test. It was my honor Princess Luna." Syera said with a smile.

"And same here Princess Celestia, if you ever need a claw raised, Spike will be here to help you." Spike said crossing his arms like Syera. Soon the duo of the Dragon and Saiyan were off, and left on the train to their final destination. Ponyville.

Soon as they got on, the two had a deep conversation. "So, what should we tell our Ponyville friends about our trip?" Spike asked Syera.

"Yeah....that is a good question Spike, hmm....well I guess we could tell them it was usual business, but that would be casual of a story." Syera said, but then the two thought long and hard.

"Aha! I got it, why don't we say that not only there was paperwork. But some good news about Princess Luna, we can tell them that she is the rightful one who controls the night from now on, and that Celestia only controls the sun now. And it was thanks to you and me that she was able to get control of it." Spike explained.

"That can work, say we both gave her a serious confidence boost, shoot that's a great idea Spike, I'm glad you're with me. I probably wouldn't have thought of that." Syera smiled as their both sure that story for Twilight and the others will definitely take the cake.

"Alright, good....now I guess all we can do is enjoy the ride now that we have that sorted out." Spike said as he sat next to Syera on the train.

"Oh yeah, maybe we can get some snacks." Syera said as she then got some service on the train and got a few sweets for her and Spike. Enjoying the flow of the ride, they both wondered what will await them up ahead.

"Well, looks like we arrived Spike." Syera said as she could see Ponyville closing in close. The two soon got their bags of clothes and toiletries they carried with them on their trip. The train pulled up to the station with a hiss. They soon got off it with their bags, only to be greeted and welcomed back by their friends.

"Syera, Spike! Over here!" Pinkie Pie screamed over to the two and bounced up and down a bit.

"Ahh...were home Spike, were home." Syera said as they walked over to their friends.

"Yup, looks like we are." Spike said with a smile. Twilight and others hugged them both, they started asking about the trip and how was business up in Canterlot.

"My oh my, we both have a story to tell both of you indeed." Syera and Spike both said at the same time. But they held their story till they got settled back in Ponyville. They all met at Sugarcube Corner and told their story of what happened up in Canterlot.

"So you're telling me you both got to see Princess Luna! how is she?" Twilight asked in excitement.

"Yes do tell you two, I want to hear about the marvelous Princess of the night." Rarity said in excitement. The two continued, on how they were able to help her feel more confident in raising and lowering the moon, along with how she was now back to her normal stature in royalty. Also the fact that Syera was able to get close to her, personally as a friend. This made Twilight excited that even the princess can make a friend, especially since it was Syera who was her first real great friend.

"Wow, so you're saying that you became friends with Princess Luna?!" Rainbow Dash said in total amazement.

"Well ah'll be, way ago Syera. You never cease to amaze me, glad ya got to be friends with the Princess." Applejack said with a smile.

"That's great to hear that Princess Luna is doing great and is great friends with you." Fluttershy said with a smile.

"Its more than great, it's totally awesome!" Pinkie said smiling and bounced one good time in happiness.

"Yea, you girls would've loved it if you saw it, on how we got so close that is. I wish you could've came but....you know how it is with royal business." Syera told them as she sipped her frappe.

"Yup, what stays in Canterlot, stays in Canterlot." Spike added as he sipped on his milkshake.

However, even after telling the story. Syera and Spike knew they only told them half the story, So they both know that....as what Spike said; "What happens in Canterlot, Stays in Canterlot."

Syera and Spike could only hope that they can find a good time to tell them what really happened up there. But only when the time is right, when the time is just right. For now, Syera is more than eager to continue her training and see how much stronger she has gotten from that encounter with Princess Luna. With her head strung high and her hopes up, Syera was ready for whatever comes next.

"Oh, and Syera, Spike. While you were gone, we had a bit of an adventure as well." Twilight said, Applejack and Rarity chuckled a little when she mentioned this sudden story.

"Oh? let's hear it" Syera said as she pulled up her chair closer to the table they all sat at, wanting to hear this. "Me too, lay it on us girls." Spike said eager to hear this story too.

"Ok, it all happened the day when the Pegasus ponies were setting up that evening with the scheduled rain/thunderstorm a day ago." Twilight continued.

"It was absolutely sad since that day it looked so beautiful you could have a picnic." Rarity added.

"Yup, but sadly them Pegasus ponies had a schedule to follow and that there day called for some rain, so us here in Ponyville prepared ourselves by getting rid of any hazards that could damage stuff during the storm, such as tree branches and what not else." Applejack explained.

"Alright, what happened next?" Spike asked.

"It was about to pour rain when me an' Rarity here got into a little bit of a debate/argument of something." Applejack put out.

"I don't recall what it was about but surely it was nonsense, but soon it began to pour rain. That is when Twilight called out to us from the library to let us come inside to get dry and wait out the storm." Rarity told the two listeners of this tale.

"And so, once we got inside after washing the mud off our hooves, we got in and stayed with Twilight. This is when she had this grand idea." Applejack said with a small smirk as she looked at Twilight and same with Rarity.

"I convinced them to have a sleepover with me!" Twilight said with a bright happy smile and clapped her hooves excitedly.

"Really, these two in the same roof having a sleepover? Wow, I would have never guessed you two would be under the same roof." Syera said in shock since she would have never guessed it. Applejack, a hard working country mare along with Rarity, a frilly hard working dress making mare with such high-class standards. She would have never guessed these two would ever be in the same room for that type of occasion.

"Yup, ironic ain't it Syera" Applejack said with a smile.

"So the sleepover did happen. But we ran into a couple of bad transitions as the sleepover went on. We did everything by the book like Twilight wanted." Rarity explained.

"Wait...by the book? as in you used what I think you used Twilight" Syera asked her sister.

"Yes, slumberparty101, how make your slumber-party one of the best ever. And yes, it hit a bit rough edges since the one thing I couldn't check off on the list was having fun. These two weren't having fun and were angry at each other....I felt so sad they weren't." Twilight said and soon Applejack and Rarity hugged their friend to cheer her mood a little.

"Yea, we weren't. And little did we know that the storm was takin' a turn for the worst." Applejack foretold.

"Yes, it go so bad that a whole tree came crashing down into the library through Twilight's bedroom window....And ugh....The mess, I don't even want to thing of it." Rarity said in disgust since she does not like getting dirty.

"Sounds very intense, how did you handle getting that mess cleaned up?" Syera asked interested to hear more.

"Well, me and Rarity had to put aside our differences and work together as a team. Which I'm glad happened cause without her, I wouldn't have been able to get that tree out." Applejack told as she looked at Rarity and smiled.

"Oh Applejack darling, I couldn't have done it without you either. And your plan was so perfect, I never would have thought of it......Sadly I did get muddy and icky....." Rarity said remembering how much dirt and grime got on her.

"Well, you were working hard with your friend to save our Library/me, Spike and Twilight's home, I thank you both for that one. And working hard does come with a price of getting dirty so....its kinda to be expected." Syera said with a laugh as so did the others.

"Yeah, ah told her the same thing. I'm glad she understood too since we were able to get the job done.....Together." Applejack said as she hoof-bumped Rarity.

"Right you are Applejack, we got the job done and saved the library from total disaster from the storm." Rarity agreed with Applejack's claim.

"Wow, so what's the moral of this story?" Syera asked, this is when Twilight spoke up.

"The moral of this tale my dear sister, is that true friends can come together in the end. It doesn't matter how different they are, but can show that they can work together and get along just fine." Twilight said, soon the gang smiled and cheered a bit. Having a group hug in the process.

"Mm....yeah, true true friends help friends indeed." Syera stated, as the group held each other in a tight embrace. This made the young Saiyan think about what is to come.

Even now, as she came back to Ponyville with Spike of what happened up and Canterlot. Also two weeks later, the Parasprites attacked and were able to defend and save the town thanks to Pinkie Pie and Syera with their plan to eradicate the threat, by playing 10 instruments at the same time.

What wacky crazy adventures await the Saiyan and her friends now? Only patience and time will be the only answer for this, and Syera as well as her friends know this. And they will be ready for whatever lies ahead.

cue intro music ~ Who is the number one athlete? The Pegasus Pony or Earth Pony?

Syera, Rainbow Dash and Applejack decided to get together and hang out on the farm, it was at that moment they decided to play the Horseshoe toss game.

“Hoo-wee! Not a bad pitch for a pony who works with her head in the clouds.” Applejack complements Rainbow Dash on her throw. Though it sounded as if the farm pony wasn’t impressed.

“Oh yeah? Think you can do better, cowgirl?” Rainbow Dash retorted back to Applejack, who happened to have a retort of her own back at the pegasus pony.

“Ah know I can.” With a grunt, she tossed her horseshoe but came not so close to Rainbow Dash’s “Oh, for Pete's sake!”

“You two wanna see a horseshoe toss, I’ll give you a good one. Mmm....” Syera had a horseshoe in hand and took a stance. With a flick of her wrist, she let the horseshoe fly out her grasp and it made contact with the rod in the ground and spun around very fast. "Ha! alright, that was great!" Syera cheered in glory.

“Heh! Looks like the saiyan and pegasus can pitch better than the workhorse. The object of the game is to get the closest to the stake, but seeing how Syera did it so easily…” Rainbow Dash told the orange mare.

“All right, all right. You got another throw there, ponygirl.” Applejack told the pegasus and with a grunt and a toss, the horseshoe flew out her grasp but she missed just as bad as Applejack did her first try.

With a sarcastic tone of voice, Apple jack said “Wow, Rainbow, heh. You couldn't hit a barn door with that kind of throw!”

“Yeah, yeah. Syera has it dead on while you and I still have the closest throw, Applesmack.” Rainbow taunted AJ, but she showed her once she made contact with the rod in the ground with her last horseshoe.

“Yee-haw! It's a ringer. That's how you do it down here on the farm.” Applejack cheered proudly while Syera clapped for the country mare.

“Awesome! that was even better than when I did it, wow Applejack. You truly are good at this game.” Syera continued to clap while Rainbow Dash had her head low.

“I lost…” Rainbow sounded very discouraged.

“Ah, don't feel bad, Rainbow.” Applejack told her and Syera added.

“Yeah, when It comes to it in the end Dashie, it's all in good fun and just a game really, you’ll win next time.”

“I hate losing.” Rainbow Dash said sharply and kinda angry. It was then Syera got on one knee and came close to Dash and placed a hand on her back, just above her wings.

“Trust me, I know how you feel Rainbow Dash. But you can’t be number 1 at everything, I’ve learned that lesson the hardway. It’s still one of the reasons that keeps me going and becoming stronger and better, take Nightmare Moon for example. She was one of the strongest enemies we ever fought, and I hope to strive even higher than her.” Syera told Rainbow Dash.

“That is true but, that’s easy for you to say. You are already crazy strong, why become stronger? I mean you can already go Super Saiyan right, shouldn’t that be enough?” Rainbow Dash asked, but a simple head shake from Syera told her no.

“No, I feel I can push myself even higher. I don’t know what it is, if it’s stubbornness or something else. But it’s the same reason why you hate losing, because I don’t like it either. But think of it as this, you are learning. Come back smarter and stronger. The only person you need to believe in at that moment is, yourself.” Syera explained then Applejack chimed in.

“She’s right Rainbow. Besides, you're a mighty good athlete indeed. I happen to be just better. Heh heh heh.” The cowgirl told her, but this caused Syera to think for a moment then speak.

“Well, I wouldn’t say better Applejack, if anything I’d say you and Rainbow Dash have a lot in common. You both have room to grow, I can see it. Maybe you shouldn’t jump the gun just yet and say you’re better just because you’ve beaten Dashie here in one game.” Syera told Applejack with a smirk, this caused Rainbow Dash to perk up, she definitely had an idea.

“Hmm, hold on Syera, I got something. Alright, Applejack, you think you're the top athlete in all of Ponyville?” Rainbow asked Applejack with a smirk of her own.

“Well, Ah’d say in all of Equestria, but that might be jumping the gun too far as Syera put it.” Applejack said exclaiming and seeing how her statement is obviously false.

“...And I think I'm the top athlete. So let's prove it.” Rainbow told the orange mare, which kinda caught her off guard as to what she means.

“Prove what?” She asked and Rainbow Dash said.

“I challenge you to an Iron Pony competition. A series of athletic contests to decide who's the best, once and for all”

“You know what, Rainbow? You're On.” With that said, they both spat on their hooves and shook on it. Then the two looked at Syera.

“And Syera here will be the judge.” Rainbow Dash exclaimed, this is when the Saiyan got put on the spot and put her hands up.

“Whoa now, slow down. I think you might want more than just me to be the judge of you two. Oh, I got an idea, I’ll be back you two.” Syera then used Instant Transmission to then get something together, somewhat of a crowd to be a judge of who is the better pony. Applejack… Or… Rainbow Dash.

It was then Syera rounded up Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Fluttershy, Twilight and Spike to help out with this whole competition between Applejack and Rainbow Dash.

"So you two are doing what, now?" Twilight asked.

Applejack only got out “An Iron—” Since she was interrupted by Rainbow Dash, who finished for her saying “Iron Pony competition.” with an excited expression.

“See, we've set up a bunch of events to decide which one of us is—” Applejack explained but Rainbow Dash beat her to it again and finished for her.

“The most athletic pony ever!” Rainbow told with that same excited smile.

“And me and Twilight are here to do what again?” Syera asked as she totally forgot her position in all this with her unicorn sister.

“I don't know. Why are these two here?” Rainbow Dash asked as she looked at Applejack.

“To be our judge and keep score.” Applejack explained to the brash pegasus.

“That’s Right... Heh, I guess Somepony's gotta record my awesomeness for the history books.” Rainbow Dash said as she stretched and readied herself for the obstacles her and the farm pony came up with.

“Yeah, sure. Somebody has to do it, along with AJ’s awesomeness, remember that one Dashie.” Syera told her as AJ and Dashie began their stretches and warm-ups

“Glad to see that somepony thinks I’m awesome, ah thank you Syera.” AJ said with a happy smile.

“No problem, anyway I think you two should start. Don’t want everypony to think you guys are a no show.” Syera told them which kinda got under Rainbow Dash’s skin a little.

“A no show?! Ha! Like I’d ever let down a crowd, let’s do this Applejack!” Rainbow Dash said hoof bumping her opponent.

“Alright, c’mon Rainbow Dash! Show me whatcha got!” It was then, Applejack and Rainbow Dash got ready for the first obstacle of the competition.

“Hello everypony, and welcome to the Iron Pony Competition!” Spike shouted out on Twilight’s back, this statement gave her a confused look.

“Who are you talking to?” She asked.

“Um… them, the crowd of course. Alright, let’s get this show on the road!” With that said, the first obstacle began. The objective of this one was to run and dodge incoming barrels from left to right, side to side. Applejack went first.

“Ready? Go!” Twilight shouted and Applejack took off like a snake catchin’ its prey. She was doing great, only falter was that she hit the second to last barrel on the course.

“Oh dagnabbit!” She shouted as she crossed the finish line.

“Time! 17 seconds!” Syera called out. “But you get a five second penalty for nudging that barrel AJ, sorry.” the saiyan told the orange mare.

“Nuts and chews! Still, that's 22 seconds. Not too shabby.” Applejack said, but then she saw that Rainbow Dash seemed a bit fidgety, so she trotted over and put a hoof on her shoulder. “Hey, don't be nervous. Remember, it's all in good fun. Now git on up there.” It was then Dashie made her run and moved in and out of the barrels without touching one.

“Woo! That was some fancy hoof-work there, Rainbow!” Applejack cheered and clapped her hooves on the ground in applause.

“Thanks, but I…. couldn't have been as fast as you.” She said, but Applejack asked for the time from Syera and Spike.

“What was the time on that, you two?” She asked.

“Time! 18 seconds, Rainbow Dash is the winner of the first obstacle!” Syera and Spike called out.

“Oh?! I… can’t believe that I won!” Rainbow Dash said in a surprised tone of voice and got very happy.

“Yea, very well done. But don’t get too cocky, you still got more obstacles to go Dashie.” Syera added and AJ said as well

“Yeah, don't you go gettin' used to it. We still got more in store.” With that said, the games went on.

One by one, Applejack won a game, then Rainbow Dash, and back to back. They kept Tieing it up, but only one was gonna make it to the top. This next challenge in the competition involved push-ups, Syera was only using 2 fingers on her left hand only to coach these two in them. AJ using her front hooves, while Dashie was using her wings

“92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99….100!” Syera called out, only the pony who made it to 100 was Rainbow Dash, by a slim chance since both of them gave out about the same time, but AJ lost it on push-up 99. However it seemed that Rainbow only won that challenge due to her last little burst of her wings, AJ didn’t like it one bit but kept her cool. Syera saw it too but didn’t speak out about it. Instead, letting the challenges continue.

“Alright, you two. This is the final event. Give it all you've got.” Twilight told the workhorse and pegasus pony. It was a game of tug of war, a rope was in the mouths of the two, both ends trying to pull themselves into a pit of mud.

Some were cheering from Rainbow Dash while others were cheering for Applejack. Syera stood by with her arms crossed, she was seeing the struggle between the two. Knowing Rainbow Dash, she would try something sneaky.

And her gut feeling was right. “Hmm…” Syera was getting a little aggravated but kept calm about it.

Applejack was now dangling by her pegasus pony friend, what she did was pull her up in the air by taking flight high above.

“That's not fair. You can't use your wings to help you win!” Applejack said aggravated as she was held by on the other side of the rope.

“Huh?” Rainbow Dash acted like she wasn’t doing anything wrong.

With a mumbled voice with the rope in her mouth. “You're cheatin'!” AJ told her.

“I can't understand you with that rope in your mouth.” Rainbow Dash was now baiting her to let go the rope, looks like she fell for it.

“Ah said you’re… uh oh.” AJ then began to fall down into the mud. But before she made contact, it was then Syera then lightly pushed her out of the way of the mud. This caused a gasp from the crowd, and soon Syera floated down and as her feet came close to the mud, it seemed as if her aura seemed to make the ground harden and crack.

“Uh… Syera? You ok?” Rainbow Dash asked her saiyan friend, it was then Syera gave her a stern look.

“Shame on you. I honestly didn’t say anything before, but you using your wings like that at this final stretch in the competition was the last straw.” Syera told her, Applejack then stood up and agreed with Syera.

“Ah agree, You used your wingpower to help you win the last contest, I wasn’t gonna complain about the others but this one was totally unfair and you truly cheated!” Applejack said in anger.

“Sour Apples! You never told me I couldn’t use my wings in the first place so I believe I still won fair and square.” Rainbow countered back at the two.

“Honestly, to make it fair I think you already would know not to!” Applejack told her back.

“To be fair Dashie, you shouldn’t have used your wings at that last stretch, if anything during a tug of war, if It were me instead of Applejack, it be even game since we can both take flight, but Applejack here can’t. See what we mean?” Syera told her brash pegasus friend. When Dash thought about what the two said to her, it was then she slowly nodded with an ashamed look on her face.

“You’re right, I guess I should’ve just used my raw strength instead of my wings. But I’d say technically I used my strength holding her up by that rope like that.” She said with a smirk, but this caused a sigh of annoyance.

“Alright, fine. Think that way if you want, but Ah challenge you to one more event. The Running of the Leaves is tomorrow, and I bet ah I will indeed beat you in it.” Applejack said in proposal to Rainbow Dash, wondering if she will accept the challenge.

“Ya know what, you’re on. Let the running of the leaves be our official tie breaker!” Rainbow stated and the two spat in their hooves and bumped them together, getting in each other’s faces in the process. But then Dash blew a raspberry out of nowhere and made them both share a chuckle before having another serious stare moment.

“Alright you two, break it up. Best save your energy for the Running of the Leaves tomorrow.” Syera said as she broke the two apart.

“Don’t be late Sally.” Applejack told Dash.

“Same to you Jack in-a box” Rainbow retorted then took off. It was then everypony went their separate ways after the whole “Iron Pony Competition” thingy those two had.

As Syera, Spike and Twilight made their way back to Library to recollect today’s events, Twilight then had a very interesting request for Syera to do with her.

“Um… Syri? I have a favor I need of you.” Twilight asked her sister, who was currently walking with her and Spike with her arms up behind her and her hands on the back of her head and she glanced at her lavender pony sister.

“Hmm? What is it Twili?” Syera asked her. For what she was about to ask her was not what she was expecting.

“Can you… train me? In running, I actually had a thought pop in my head, see the whole running of the leaves thing tomorrow, I want to enter it.” Her saying this thing to Syera made her shocked.

“You! Want me...to train you?!” Syera asked in awe, with a confident look and smirk coming from Twilight she nodded. Knowing that Syera would be honored to do so and excited to as well.

“Yes, hell yes I will. Actually, I’m flattered. But something tells me this is more about just training and entering the race.” Syera hinted and she was right.

“Yes you are correct sis, I want to enter so I could maybe teach Rainbow Dash and Applejack a lesson or two about their whole rivalry thing, I just don’t want it to be the end of their friendship, you know?” Twilight told her.

“Indeed, I could see the tension build up a mile away. I definitely don’t want to see those two break apart.” Spike added.

“Hmm...Both of you are right, Applejack is a little on edge after Dash pulled that stunt by using her wings. Both are great athletes no doubt, but to be truly the best, Dashie needs to know when to play fair, and I fear AJ might do something drastic because of her actions.” Syera finished with a content sigh but then a confident smile. “Alright, let’s get started on your training then sis, the sooner you are ready to compete. The better chance you stand against those two and their egos to be the best around.”

Over the next few hours of the remaining daylight. Syera trained Twilight in ways of keeping up her stamina while running. learning to pace herself, know when it is time to unleash all she has once the finish line is near the end. They did this repeatedly, till eventually when they both began to do a trial run of the race, Syera couldn’t believe how quick and fast her sister was. First time they did it, Syera wiped the floor with Twilight without even trying, now she was fast on her feet. Ready to go out and give this race all she has.

“Phew, wow. I gotta remember to ask you Syera, if I want to work out.” Twilight said to her, since usually Twilight is a bookworm, she doesn’t work out very much which isn’t so bad if she didn’t snack on so much junk late at night when studying and doing research.

“Yea, well you know where to find me. Alright.” With a clap of her hands. “Let’s go over the process. Which is the best way to run a race?” Syera asked Twilight.

“Slow and Steady Pace is the best way to go about a clean race.” She told her.

“Good, now what should you do once the finish line is in sight?” Syera asked.

“Give it all you have and sprint to the finish as fast as you can.” Twilight said with a big smile and this caused a smile from Syera as well and she nodded greatly.

“Yes yes yes! And finally, what is the most important thing to have and be in a race?” Syera asked one last time to Twilight.

“It is to have fun and be careful!” Twilight said with a confident smile. It was then the two shared a tight embrace. But they stopped when they both smelled each other, the smell of sweat and determination was scented between the two.

“Ooo….we should probably go take a bath.” Syera suggested as they smelled each other.

“I agree, I’ll wash your back and you wash mine?” Twilight added and with a nod, the two then headed back to the library to get in the bath.

“Hey Spike, can you get these washed?” Syera asked she stripped down and took a towel around herself.

“Not a problem, I’ll get it done Syera. Phew… looks like you two have worked up quite a sweat.” Spike said as he got a whiff of the Saiyan’s clothes and got to washing them right away.

Once the two sisters got in the bathroom. They started to have a bit of small talk as she bathed together.

“Hey Syera?”

“Yeah Twilight?”

“You think maybe I’ll do good in the Running of the Leaves?”

“I know you’ll do good Twi, no doubt about it. Besides, I’m sure all of the ponies here in this peaceful little town will be able to get a lot of leaves out of the trees.”

“Hmm.. Thanks Syera, I’m glad that you can bring such confidence in times like these.”

It was then Twilight nuzzled Syera softly, soon the two got out of the bathroom after washing each other up. Syera soon got in some pajama shorts and a white tank top shirt. Spike was as quick as ever with her laundry too since her Gi was fresh, clean and dry, as well as folded neatly.

“Ahh… thanks Spike” Syera said to herself. However before the saiyan retired for the night, she made sure that Twilight wasn’t pulling an all nighter of studying.

Funny thing was that she was now reading something while in her bed.

“Whatcha reading Twi?” Syera asked as she leaned over the lavender colored pony. Twilight then replied with a bit of a chuckle then said.

“It’s nothing. Just a book on racing is all, It’s basically a rundown of what you told me in our little training session.” Twilight explained.

“Hmm… I see, well don’t read too much tonight alright Twi? If you’re serious about this “Running of the Leaves” event then you best get your rest, it’s close to midnight.” Syera was eager to get Twilight to get her rest.

“Yes yes, I know Syera. Don’t worry, I just want to you know… review is all, you know how I am when it comes to reading stuff related to the current topic at hoof, or hand in your case.” Twilight told her, but it was then Syera shut the book closed and put it on her sister’s nightstand.

“Yes, and now I’m telling you… definitely break that habit for now and get some rest.” Syera said with a smirk, it was then Twilight chuckled and nodded in agreement.

“Yeah, you’re right. Let’s get some sleep, goodnight Syera, goodnight Spike.” Twilight told the Saiyan and Dragon living with her in the golden oak library.

“Goodnight Twilight.” They both said as then it went quiet and dark as the lights went off in the library and sleep took over the trio.

The next morning, it was the big event. The Running of the leaves would start at High Noon.

“Come on Twilight, Syera, we’re gonna be late!” Spike shouted out from downstairs.

“Ok, ok Spike. Why are you so excited about the race? It's only for ponies.” Twilight asked.

“That is true, wait… Are you trying to be the announcer again? Just like before?” Syera asked with a smile as she crossed her arms.

“Yeah, I was hoping I can be the announcer again.” Spike said.

It was then the three made their way to the event, it was then Twilight made her way to the sign up booth to get a number. She was number 42.

“Give it your best Twilight, I know you’ll do great.” Syera told her sister.

“Thanks Syera, well… here goes nothing I suppose.” Twilight made her way to the starting line, where she was met with Applejack and Rainbow Dash. Both still biting at each other’s throats, to make sure the pegasus wouldn’t cheat by using her wings, AJ tied a rope to her, compressing her wings to her body.

“There, that a’ought hold ya nice and trussed up like a turkey. Well, a turkey who can't fly, that is..” AJ said with a small smirk after she bounded Rainbow’s wings to her sides.

“Yeah yeah, very funny” Rainbow Dash said as she adjusted herself to new found state of being.

“Twilight? What in tarnation are you doin' up here?” Applejack asked as she finally spotted the lavender unicorn pony.

“I'm racing of course.” She replied

And came a laugh from the two. “Good one” Rainbow said to her joke, only it wasn't a joke, Twilight was serious.

“I'm not joking.” Twilight retorted.

“What? You're not an athlete, you're a... well... you're an egghead.” The pegasus mocked the unicorn with such a vulgar term.

“I am not an egghead, I am well-read.” She told her brash friend.

“Egghead.” She whispered softly to Applejack who snickers in response.

“But have you ever run a race?” Applejack asked the lavender pony.

Twilight then answered “Well, no, but I do know a lot about running.” She told them with a confident smile.

“And you know this from…?” Rainbow asked, waiting for Twilight to give her an answer.

“I've read several on the subject, obviously” She told Rainbow Dash and then the pegasus pony retorted with

“What'd you read, "The Egghead's Guide to Running"? Did you stretch out your eye muscles to warm up?” She paused getting a good laugh. “Get it? Eye muscles.” She continued to laugh.

“I wouldn’t underestimate her if I were you Rainbow Dash.” Syera told her as she walked up smiling.

“Oh yeah? What do you mean exactly, I mean come on, your sister is a bonafide egghead, there’s no way she could win.” Rainbow Dash said and she was a bit irritated.

“Think what you will Rainbow Dash, but I’ve seen this “egghead” of a sister of mine run pretty well, since I did train her after all.” Syera said as she extended her arm and hand out as she gestured towards Twilight.

This caused a bit of a gasp from Rainbow Dash and Applejack.

“Are ya’ll serious? She trained you for this event.” Applejack asked since Twilight isn’t very well known for an athlete. But in just a short training session with Syera will make a big difference. However Rainbow Dash refused to believe the claim.

“Yeah right, you're just saying to intimidate us with how intense your Training can be, but I’ve been racing for years, there’s no way I’m gonna lose to Twilight!” Rainbow Dash said as she stomped her right hoof on the ground.

“I didn’t say you were, but… ya never know. Anyway, I think I might go see Pinkie and Spike. Might even commentate on the race, good luck to all of you, and you importantly Twilight.” Syera said as she took off in the air but was stopped by Applejack’s voice.

“Wait, why does Twilight need the best of luck?” She asked a bit agitated. This caused Syera to roll her eyes.

“Come on, be considerate AJ. It is her first race after all. Anyway, see ya after the race, we’ll have lunch!” Syera said as she used instant transmission to go to where Spike and Pinkie were.

“Racers! Please take your positions!” Pinkie said over the loudspeaker for everypony to get into starting positions. Just as Syera appeared behind her, she said. “Hi Syera! Ooo, isn’t this race gonna be exciting!” The Pink pony asked.

“Indeed, where is Spike at? Isn’t he gonna be Commentating with you?” The saiyan asked. but as Pinkie was about to respond, Spike was walking up to the two.

“Um... Pinkie Pie?” The young purple dragon asked the pink pony.

“Hey, Spike! Me and Syera were just mentioning you. Would you like to be my co-reporter on the action? We could comment on the event together” Pinkie told him.

“We could?” Spike asked excitedly.

“Yup, Climb on up. Syera, do you wanna be our third co-reporter?” Pinkie asked.

The caused a smile from the saiyan. “Oh sure, I could see myself doing some good commentating for this race. I could even get close to the action and see everything.” Syera said and this made Pinkie want to have the saiyan as a reporter on the race even more.

“Ooo! that sounds wonderful, climb aboard and we’ll get this show on the road!” Pinkie told Syera, who soon stepped on the hot air balloon and crouched down so they could take off.

“All right, ponies. Ready?” Pinkie said first.

“Get set.” Spike shouted next.

“Go!” Syera said last as a bell rang to sound off the race start.

“And they're off! Welcome to the official coverage of the Running of the Leaves! You know, Spike, despite its name, the leaves don't do any of the actual running.” Pinkie asked the green dragon.

“No, that's left to my little ponies.” Spike told.

But then Syera commented “Why, yes, Pinkie, it's called the running of the leaves but all of the ponies running is what causes the leaves to fall down to the ground.” the saiyan explained. Which caused Pinkie to be disgusted at the Leaves’ laziness of coming off the trees.

“Ugh. Those lazy, lazy leaves. But this year, the run is about more than the weather. It's about the race to the finish and the two runners who want to win it: Applejack and Rainbow Dash.” Pinkie said.

“You know, Pinkie, these two ponies have a bit of a grudge match they're trying to settle. Trying to prove who's the most athletic” Spike told Pinkie Pie.

“I’d call it more of a grudge, it’s definitely a true confrontation to see who will come out on top. I just my dear sister Twilight doesn’t get caught in their shenanigans or anypony else for that matter perhaps.” Syera told her two co-reporters on the race.

Yes indeed Syera, and I just realized, "grudge" rhymes with "fudge".” Pinkie said cracking a small joke that she and Syera laughed a little bit on.

“Yes, it... does. What?” Spike asked confused to Pinkie’ little remark on fudge rhyming with grudge.

“And I like fudge. But if I eat too much fudge I get a pudge and then I can't budge.” Pinkie said remarking fudge messing with her figure.

“Really? Cause I’ve seen you go on a sweet feast Pinkie, and it’s almost if you're like me but with sweets, eat so much and don’t get out of shape at all.” Syera retorted to Pinkie’s claim.

“Yeah I’ve eaten plenty of sweets, just fudge really hits me hard.” Pinkie said.

“So... no fudge?” Spike asked the pink pony.

“Oh, no thanks. I had a big breakfast.” Pinkie said finally ending the whole fudge debate.

“Anyway, let’s check up on the race shall we?” Syera remarked as she then looked over and saw how the race was going, leading the pack was still Applejack and Rainbow Dash.

“Looks like AJ and Dashie are still in front, fighting for that number one spot.” Syera said as she crossed her arms smiling.

“Having come fast out of the gate, Applejack and Rainbow Dash are evenly matched running neck and neck.” Pinkie said, but then continued as Applejack was making a play. “But what's this? Applejack is making a move, she's now ahead by a nose. But Rainbow Dash won't let Applejack have it and takes the lead. She's ahead by half a nose. Or maybe three quarters of a nose. No, about sixty-three point seven percent of a nose... roughly speaking.” She said. then Syera looks closer.

“Applejack sees this move and pushes forth with her strong workhorse legs slinking ahead by three hundred and fifty noses!” Pinkie continued.

“Yeah, she did use that leg power indeed, I can’t wait to see how much more she can do, cause the stamina of this pony holds barely any bounds, Rainbow Dash might be just behind or even with her on it.” Syera commented.

“Ho-hold your horses, you two, look! Rainbow Dash is catching up the frontrunner Applejack! Wow, you are right about that stamina build Syera, they may as well be evenly matched or maybe the pegasus pony is outclassing the workhorse!” Spike commented.

“What an upset. I thought Applejack had this in the bag.” Pinkie said in a bit of a sad tone.

“I wouldn’t count her out the race yet you two, she’s still going and… Yowzah! She tripped over a rock! Man that’s gotta be disappointing, and a bit painful!” Syera commented.

“Hang on, I’ll go see if she is ok.” Syera then put her two fingers to her head and appeared behind Applejack. “Hey, AJ, you ok?”

“I’m ok, but I don't believe it.” Applejack said, but before Syera could say her response

“I know, it's beautiful, isn't it?” Twilight, said behind the two.

“Not the scenery, Twilight. Rainbow Dash just tripped me.” Applejack claimed to her unicorn friend.

“Are you sure? Cause from up there where I was commentating, I think you tripped on rock.” Syera said as she pointed to the rock on the ground.

“Syera is right, you did not get tripped by Rainbow Dash, you got tripped by this rock right here, and if you slowed down and looked where you're going, like me, you'd probably see it and avoid it completely.” Twilight explained, which in turn made Applejack rethink her claim, and then nodded.

“Oh, hayseed...you two are right. Now I got a lot of ground to make up to catch Rainbow.” Applejack said as she then got her bearings together and was ready to continue.

It was then Syera smiled as she then put her two fingers to her head. “Just be careful alright AJ, you too Twilight?”

“Will do sis, and yes, please be careful Applejack.” Twilight told her farm pony friend.

“Yup, will do, See ya Syera, and see you at the finish line Twilight!” Applejack said and continued onward. And with that, Twilight continued as well with her slow and steady pace.

Syera then reappeared, behind her dragon and pink pony friends.

“I don't believe it. After a huge setback, Applejack is back at the front of the pack. She's the head of the pack, all right. The pick of the litter! The cat's pajamas! Oh wait, why would Applejack take some poor kitty's PJs? That's not very sporting of her.” Pinkie said after finally finishing the whole… pajama conspiracy theory she had.

“And I am back, I hope I didn’t miss much, it looks like everything is going well in the race. The leaves are coming down and all the little ponies are running very well. I wonder how the outcome will turn out indeed.” Syera commented as she got back.

“Yea, so yes the race is going swell. I wonder how our two rivals are going, looks like Applejack and Rainbow Dash are neck and neck once again.” Spike commented as they were the head of the pack.

“What’s this?! Rainbow Dash tripped on a stump, these two must be so focused on getting the number one spot, that they’re not watching their bearings on their hooves!” Syera added as the two broke apart after Dash’s little tripping accident.

Pinkie then gasped. “I hope she is ok enough to continue the race, Syera you should check up on her make sure she is.” the pink pony suggested and the Saiyan nodded then teleported to the pegasus.

“Guh, I don't believe it, Applejack tripped me.” Rainbow Dash said, Syera appeared behind the blue pegasus, however before she said something, Twilight retorted saying.

“Don't you ponies ever look where you're going?” Twilight told the brash pegasus.

“I was just about to say that, and if you did look where you were going, you’d see you tripped on a stump. See?” Syera said as she pointed to the stump along with Twilight.

“Oh, I see. A big cheater is what I see.” Rainbow Dash said as she refused to believe the saiyan and unicorn’s claim.

“Dammit Rainbow, are you serious? Applejack wouldn’t do such a thing and you know that.” Syera told her, trying to convince her.

“Rainbow please, Applejack would never cheat, she is the most honest pony around and would never do such a thing, It was just an accident.” Twilight told, but Rainbow Dash still didn’t want to believe it.

“Sure it was. I mean, yeah, I'm sure it was.” Rainbow said after getting herself together to run again and catch Applejack.

“Remember, Rainbow, this is just a game.” Twilight told her. But she just chuckled a bit then said

“Yes, but the rules have changed, and two can play at that game.” with that said, Rainbow Dash took off like a bolt of lightning. The two sisters sighed as the pegasus took off.

“Keep a close eye on those two Twilight, because I fear some confrontation might happen.” Syera told and the lavender little pony nodded in agreement.

“Will do, hopefully nothing too bad will happen.” Twilight then trotted away again, viewing the scenery as she got back in the race herself.

Once Syera teleported back to Pinkie and Spike, their commentating got back on track with the race. “Welcome back Syera, everything go ok down there?” Pinkie asked.

“As good as it can I suppose. All I know of is this, Applejack and Rainbow Dash. It’s full on war between those two and it possibly won’t end till the Running of the Leaves is done.” Syera commented.

“The way I look it girls, is that it’s a true fight for the finish, wondering which one is gonna cross the line first has got my scales on edge!” Spike added on after Syera spoke. Pinkie nodded in agreement.

“Oh yea, most definitely and… what there? is that Applejack on top of that hill?” Pinkie pointed out. It was then the saiyan and dragon looked forward and saw it was indeed Applejack, what was she doing up there?

“Applejack, what are you doing up here?” Pinkie asked.

“There aren't even any trees.Applejack” Spike added on.

“Er, no, but the sign's pointed this way…” It was then Applejack paused for a moment before making a serious look, then said. “Rainbow Dash.... Mind giving me a lift?”

“Yeah no problem, use this!” Syera then tossed a rope to Applejack so she could hang on and get back to the race. Once the trio in the balloon got to the center of the action, it was then they dropped off the country mare to catch up with the sneaky pegasus pony.

“Much Obliged ya’ll” Applejack said as she got off the rope. The she proceeded onwards in front of the crowd of ponies and next to Rainbow Dash for the moment.

“What the hay! you told me no flying!” Rainbow Dash complained.

“Ah said no wings, this was different since you pulled that stunt with me and that sign, so all's fair so it ends fair!” Applejack retorted and then sped off ahead of the brash pegasus

“Why you little! Get back here!” Rainbow Dash sprinted after Applejack down the course, it was nearly the end of the race, only one will come in first in the climax of the Running of the Leaves fall event.

“I must say, that this has been the most interesting Running of the Leaves in Equestrian history!” Pinkie commented.

“You can say that again, I’m glad I could see this one with my own eyes” Syera added, crossing her arms as she was behind Spike and Pinkie, looking down at the race below.

“With the most interesting announcing added onto that.” Spike told in a bore-ish tone of voice.

“But it isn't the running that's been fascinating. It's the lack of running!” Pinkie said.

“I wouldn’t say that coming from the rest of the crowd except for those two.” Syera pointed to Rainbow Dash and Applejack, who still were at each other’s throats as they came in the final stretch, bumping and grinding as they came in hot and heavy towards the finish line.

Agreed since once again, Rainbow Dash and Applejack are neck and neck, jockeying for position. Applejack inches ahead, now it's Rainbow, it's Applejack, it's Rainbow Dash, it's Applejack!” Pinkie went back in forth on who is farther ahead, whether it be the Pegasus or Earth Pony.

And it started to get very physical with the bumping and grinding.

“Oh no, she di'int!” Spike and Syera said as Rainbow Dash bumped Applejack hard. But Applejack retorted with her own hard knock.

“Oh yes, she di'id!” Pinkie said back to the two. It was a fight to the very end, the pegasus and earth pony colliding to be number 1. It was then it seemed the jig was up with the “no wings” rule since Rainbow Dash’s rope that held her wings to her body came off, which was then she spread them nice and wide and began to slowly take off, but Applejack retorted to this move by taking her back down to the ground. It started to get very violent as the two collided and fought, kicking up dust and dirt in their path of a battle. Till eventually they crossed the finish line.

“I won!” Rainbow shouted but then Applejack said

“No, I won!” but then Rainbow Dash fought back saying that she won. It continued till Spike shouted out.

“You tied!” the dragon shouted out, Syera was trying to hold back a laugh since they tied in the most uncommon area for a tie to be in.

“Tied?!” The two shouted out.

“For first?” Applejack asked. But then Syera lost it and laughed wholeheartedly before saying.

“You two tied for last!” The saiyan told the two after she regained her composure after laughing.

“Last?!” Applejack and Rainbow were both dumbfounded on how they tied for last place.

“Then who won?” Rainbow Dash begged the question on who won the race, then Twilight came with a gold medal around her neck.

“You?!” Applejack and Rainbow Dash asked in shock when they saw Twilight approach them.

“Oh no, but I did get fifth place, which is rather good considering I've never run a race before.” Twilight said with a smile, which is when Syera dropped down from the Balloon.

“Fifth place!? Way to go, that’s my sister for ya! Woo hoo!” Syera cheered clapping for her sister Twilight.

“Syera… stop, you're flattering me a little too much, it’s embarrassing.” Twilight said as her ears folded back and a small blush came across her face.

“I can’t help it, you did so well. Fifth Place for your first race is amazing! I’m so proud of you.” Syera said as she kneeled down and embraced Twilight with a nice hug.

“What? How's that even possible?” Applejack asked dumbfounded still on how Twilight was able to beat her and Rainbow Dash.

“You ran so slow, and looked at the scenery” Rainbow Dash told, which made Twilight and Syera laugh a little.

“Exactly. I paced myself, Syera told me to do when she trained me the other day. Then at the end, when all the other ponies were worn out, I sprinted to the finish.” Twilight explained after breaking the embrace with Syera.

“And you also followed the number one rule of being in a race, having fun and being careful. Something you two didn’t do during the race since you let your rivalry get the best of you.” Syera said as she was still kneeled down with her left arm resting on her left leg.

“I don't believe it. Twilight beat us.” Rainbow said still in shock.

“Well, with all your horsing around, and rivalry getting to you like Syera said, it was quite easy.” Twilight told the two ponies.

“You're right, Twilight, Syera. Our behavior was just terrible.” Applejack said.

“We weren't very good sports during this whole thing since our stinking egos got in the way…” Rainbow Dash said admitting that she did make a lot of mistakes during the race, same with Applejack.

“Sounds to me that an important friendship lesson.” An angelic voice said from behind the three ponies and Saiyan.

“Wait… that voice, that energy. Can it be?” Syera said as she turned around with a shocked expression to see that it was indeed.

“Princess Celestia!” The four shouted and kneeled before the royal white alicorn mare that approached them. Soon they rose from kneeling and looked at her straight on.

“W-What are you doin' here?” Applejack asked still awestruck from the sudden appearance from the Princess herself.

Fall is one of my favorite seasons, so I came to celebrate the Running of the Leaves.” Princess Celestia told Applejack and Rainbow Dash.

“It's important to remember that the friendship is always more important than the competition.” Twilight told her friendship report to Celestia directly.

“Exactly, Twilight. Now, unfortunately, because the two of you were busy tricking each other instead of shaking down leaves, many of the lovely trees of this part of Equestria are still covered.” Princess Celestia told the farm mare and pegasus pony as they looked toward the land and saw many trees still have their leaved.

“Why, Princess, I bet we can knock those leaves down for you lickety-split. Whaddya say, friend? Wanna go for another run?” Applejack said and then asked Rainbow with a confident smile.

“I'd love to stretch my legs.” Rainbow Dash said as they readied themselves for a good race then took off.

It was then Princess Celestia smiled and turned her attention to Syera.

“Excuse me, Syera?” She asked. The saiyan turned her head with an expression that shows she is giving her full attention to her.

“Yes Princess?” Syera asked as she had her arms crossed and looked the Princess in the eyes.

“How far are you progressing in your training? Do you feel you can be getting better or…?” Celestia asked, the Saiyan put her hands on her sides then thought for a moment.

“Honestly, I think , no rather I know I can do much better. I’ve been honestly trying to get better with my basic form’s strength, cause if I rely on Super Saiyan too much, then I might not get anywhere as quick as I want to, but I have patience that I will achieve a new level eventually.” Syera told the Princess with a Smile.

“Good, I look forward, as well as Princess Luna to hear how far you can go from here on out.” The Princess told the saiyan with a smile then looked over to where Applejack and Rainbow Dash went.

“And one more thing, be sure to keep an eye on those two. Don’t want them to be in another fight between their rivalry.” Princess Celestia told Syera to make sure no serious confrontation would be held between Rainbow Dash and Applejack.

“You got it, in fact.” Syera then took a moment to stretch her legs and arms then breathed in and then breathed out, then smiled again. “I think I might go run with those two, sounds like fun. Well, see you around Princess, and I’m so proud of you Twilight, getting fifth place is most wonderful! See ya soon sis!” With that said, Syera soon caught up with Rainbow Dash and Applejack, leaving Twilight to chat with Celestia.

“Hey girls, mind if I join ya in this run?” Syera asked the two and they both nodded with eager grins.

“Sure thing part’ner” Applejack said.

“Just try and keep up!” Rainbow Dash said as she sprinted off fast laughing. Applejack following suite as the brash pegasus took off like a bat from hell.

“Not a problem! here I come! Ha!” Syera then ran fast through the woods with the Pegasus and Earth Pony, leaves coming down as they made their way down the rows and acres of land and trees. The sun still high in the sky, they ran till the sunset, and even then, it was all still a good time between the three.

In the end sharing a great laugh, and couldn’t wait to see what lies ahead of them till the day of the gala.

Last time on Syera: The Equestrian Saiyan!

Applejack and Rainbow Dash had a score to settle with each other due to their intense rivalry. After many challenges the two ponies have faced, it seemed that their rivalry has only gotten even more tight in a rope.

And with Rainbow Dash not playing fair in the end, the two decided for their official tie-breaker to be the annual fall weather race known as “The Running of the Leaves!”

However, due to their intense rivalry getting the best of them, the two basically threw the race in the back of their hooves and end up tying for last place!

Lesson goes to show for both of them, their rivalry got the best of them and were able to fall behind in the race.

After learning an important friendship lesson, Applejack and Rainbow Dash made amends with each other in the end by running all over the region of Ponyville to bring down the rest of the leaves, and with the help of Syera, their saiyan friend, it was indeed a breeze.

Now, what awaits the Saiyan and her Ponyville friends?

Find out now!

Cue intro music ~ Dressed To Impress, Or Look like a Total Mess!

It had been pretty quiet since the Running of the Leaves, and with the Grand Galloping Gala not to far off. It was only a matter of time before Syera, Twilight and the rest of the 6 ponies in their group of friends to attend.

Syera, Twilight and Applejack went to go visit Rarity, she has been awfully quiet for the past few days, They wondered what she was up to so they decided to pay her a visit.

With a knock of the door, Applejack came trotting in first with Twilight next, Syera ducking through the doorway a little since it was a little low for her.

“Howdy, Rarity!” Applejack greeted the fashion pony with cheer and joy, but soon was shushed by Twilight since she looked pretty concentrated on something.

“Shh... Can't you see Rarity is trying to concentrate” Twilight told the rowdy country mare.

“Oops… Sorry, what do you think she's makin'?” the orange mare asked.

“Obviously it looks like some sorta dress.” Syera said as she observed and walked around looking at Rarity’s work. Which the white mare peaked an eye at Syera for a moment and smiled then concentrated back.

“Well, that makes sense. Since this is a dressmaker's shop and all.” Applejack retorted, but soon Rarity turned around with a huff and then a smile and then asked.

“Is there something I can help you with?” She asked trying to be as nice as she can be at the moment.

“Well… not me but Twilight in fact.” Syera said pointing to her sister who spoke up with a bit of tone of a bit of regret that she disturbed her friend.

“Oh, so very sorry to trouble you, Rarity, but I need a quick favor. Could you please fix the button for me? It's my dress for the Grand Galloping Gala.” Twilight asked the elegant mare who took a look at the dress and the spot where she mention a button was broken.

With a gasp, Rarity then looked at Twilight and said. “Oh, no, no, no! You can't wear this... old thing. You need a glamorous new outfit for the Gala and I'll make it for you. No problem at all. It will be my pleasure!” This took Twilight by surprise.

“Oh, that's really sweet of you to offer, Rarity, but I can't let you do that. It would be so much work. This dress is fine.” Twilight said trying to turn down Rarity’s offer without trying to be rude.

“Twilight Sparkle. I insist on making you a new dress.”

“But…” Twilight was gonna say more.but Rarity didn’t wanna hear it.

“Not another word! I won't take no for an answer.” She said, she was serious about this dress for Twilight.

“Well, in that case... Thank you for your generosity, Rarity. Knowing your handiwork, I'm sure it will be absolutely beautiful.”

“Let me guess, Applejack. You don't want a new gown either.” Rarity asked the Applebucking mare.

“Gown? Shoot. I was just gonna wear my old work duds for the Gala.” AJ told her, which caused a bit of a shock to Rarity.

“You can't possibly be serious, Applejack! You absolutely must wear formal attire.” Rarity begged her country friend.

“Hm... Nah.” Applejack made up her mind, but Rarity had something up her sleeve.

“What if I just spruce up your... duds for you a little bit?” She offer to Applejack

“Okay, sure. Why not? Since you're up for it and all. Just don't make them too... frou-frou-y.” She told Rarity

“Deal!” And with that said and done, Rarity then turned her attention to the Saiyan in the room.

“Syera dear, please tell me you have some sort of formal gown or dress besides what you are wearing now.” Rarity asked biting her lip a little worried her Saiyan friend had no interest in keeping a good wardrobe of attire.

“Well… No, sorry. I was honestly gonna go there like this in the Gi you see me in now.” She told Rarity, which made the mare’s jaw drop in even more shock and awe.

“Oh no no no no! Syera, darling, please. I’ve seen you wear that same outfit for as long as I’ve known you, there is no way in the deep depths of tartarus that I’ll allow you to wear that to the Gala! I’ll take your measurements because I am making you a new outfit, I will not take no for an answer! I know you Saiyans should have some sort of class when it comes to fashion.” While she said all of this, she backed Syera into a corner, making her sit down in it and getting deep in her face. This made Syera shake a little and put her hands up and smile nervously.

“Ok ok Rarity, I’ll let you make me a new dress. I just have one request is all, can you make it similar to the colors to my Gi?” the Saiyan asked nervously rubbing her two index fingers together.

With a smile, Rarity backed off from Syera, allowing her to stand up and then said. “You won’t regret it Syera, and don’t worry about the color, I have something in mind.” Rarity told her, but just before the Saiyan could say anymore.

“Look out below!” A voice called from above, then all of a sudden, a crashing Rainbow Dash. “Sorry. New trick. Didn't quite work. And… what’s going on in here?” She asked.

It was then Rarity had gasped and said. “Idea! I'll make you an outfit for the Gala too, Rainbow Dash.” this confused the Pegasus pony even more by what the fashionista told her.

“Wait, outfit for the what now?” She asked and Rarity explained.

“I'll make one for you and you and all of you. Oh! And of course Pinkie and Fluttershy too. Oh, and when I'm done, we can hold our very own fashion show!” Rarity exclaimed, everyone seemed to be excited except for Syera.

“What a great idea! If you're sure you can handle it.” Twilight said but then looked at her Saiyan sister.

“Oh, it'll be a little some work here and there, and it’ll be a wonderful boost for my business. Plus, fun!” Rarity told them all.

“Oh, I really love fun things!” Rainbow Dash exclaimed, which when the Saiyan in the room spoke up.

“I like where this is going, but I’d rather train than the sit and get measured and showcase for a dress that I’ll only wear maybe once in a blue moon.” Syera said but then she saw this death stare coming from Rarity. “Erm… On second thought, I’m in. I could use a bit of a break.” This caused Rarity to then change her look to an excited smile.

“Then it's settled. We'll have a fashion show starring us.” Rarity told as their or… her final decision.

“So all you have to do is make a different, stunning, original, amazing outfit for one, two, three, four, five... plus yourself, six ponies and a Saiyan? Are you sure you can do all of that lickety split fast?” Applejack exclaimed with a bit of a worried tone towards Rarity, which caused a chuckle from the elegant Unicorn mare.

“Oh, Applejack. You make it sound as if it's going to be hard.” Rarity said.

“That’s because it is and most likely will be hard, so are you sure that’s your final decision Rarity?” Syera asked and she got the same death stare from the mare.

“I. Can. Do. It.” Rarity said as she backed the Saiyan into the wall again into a sitting position and put a hoof in her lap. Which caused a bit of a gulp from Syera.

“O~Ok Rarity, you’re the boss.” The saiyan said with a bit of fear. And Rarity then pat Syera on the head with a smile.

“Perfect, now let’s get started!” Rarity exclaimed which she then took measurements once the gang got assembled, Syera seemed the most complicated but Rarity knew she can and will do it.

While they were wait for Rarity to finish, the pony's continued on with their normal day to day activities. Till it was time for the dress reveal, which was a good thread by thread and a stitch by stitch later.

Once the group of friends got together, they were lead into the room of the dresses, with their eyes closed.

“That's it. Keep them closed. Don't look.” Rarity carried on with suspense as she led them in the room upstairs where she kept the dresses. Till finally. “Okay, you can look now!” Rarity told them and they opened their eyes and gasped.

“These are your new outfits. What do you think of your old duds now, Applejack? Pretty swanky, are they not? And Twilight! I made this dress for you and I designed each outfit theme to perfectly reflect each pony's unique personality. Oh, it took me forever to get the colors right on this one, Rainbow Dash, but I did it. Oh, and it turned out beautifully, don't you think? And I know you are going to love yours, Fluttershy. It just sings spring! And Pinkie Pie, look! Pink! Your favorite! Aren't they all amazing? Syera please tell me I did amazingly well for a first time on another species besides a pony, please tell me something you all.” There was a long pause, the dresses were amazing.

Starting with Applejack’s, she had a fresh new Stetson hat, hoof stitched with long patterns with apples on them, and her dress consisted of leather fabricated with green and red fabrics, same with the boots for the front hooves.

Rainbow Dash’s dress consisted of what seemed to be of a greek design with the cap of golden leaves and the dress fabric being complete stitched with rainbow colour design and the edge with cotton based fabric made to look like a cloud surrounding the dress.

Pinkie Pie’s dress was indeed Pink, it looked similar to a polka dance party dress with the small hat bearing colors or pink and blue and yellows, same with the dress which in one area, had assorted candies on it. Mostly Candy corn and lollipops.

Fluttershy’s dress was definitely nature friendly with the hearty green and sky blue colors with butterfly ribbons and ornaments. Her front hoof boots looked similar to a small vine that would wrap around the hoof, with a butterfly button piece on the front.

Twilight’s dress was finomial, it was a nice night sky blue/indigo with stars and sparkling details adorning it, the front piece of the boots was also a star similar to those etched into the dress with swirls and sparkle design.

Syera’s dress was definitely not what she expected, it was even better. It was a silk/satin kimono, it was a very interesting design since the main focus of it was just the top. The design was exquisite beyond anything designed for anypony in particular. The base color was of the dark blue similar to Syera’s Gi, as well as the stitching of what held the Kimono together of a bright orange, what made is amazing was how it was held together so well by the various ties that spanned the top near the neck down to side hip area. There was also a design on it depicting a dragon that was golden in color that had seven red stars on it, which really had gave the dress a good zazzy feel or zingy sensation to it as you’d look at it.

The arm sleeves were nice and long and smooth. And as for her bottoms were short, shorts that you could barely see but were visible since they came to where the thigh area would be. Rarity also prepared long white leather boots that were of a short heel design and comfortable that Syera could walk freely without tripping.

One thing for sure was theze dresses were matching to everypony's personality down to the core as Rarity told. So they'd look very unique and famous at the Grand Galloping Gala for sure.

“Rarity you shouldn’t have.” Syera said as she ran up to her dress and adored it. “I love it! I really do, I was truly a skeptic of what you’d make for me, all of us, they’re perfect!” The saiyan thanked her friend with a hug.

“Yes, I am glad you love it. You agree with her everypony, aren’t they marvelous!” Rarity said as she hugged Syera and looked them, which they all had still shocked faces.

“Wow... They're…” Twilight said as she had a look then Rainbow Dash spoke next.

“Yeah, they're…” She muttered out followed by Applejack saying her take on the dresses

“They sure are... something'.” the county mare uttered out.

“Yes! Something.” Twilight added then Pinkie Pie spoke saying

“I love something! Something is my favorite!” The party pony foretold and then it was Fluttershy who spoke next.

“It's... nice.” she said, but this shocked Rarity, and surprisingly Syera was as well.

“But what's the matter? Don't you like them?” She asked.

“Yeah, I honestly don’t see anything wrong with em girls, they look amazingly nice!” Syera told, Twilight did agree but it seemed she disagreed at the same time and said.

“Yes, they're very nice…” then Applejack added.

“And we're plumb grateful 'cause you worked so hard on them.” but then Rainbow Dash opened her big mouth and uttered this.

“Mine's just not as cool as I was imagining” She uttered which put her on the spot.

“You can’t be serious Dashie.” Syera told her blue pegasus friend.

“What? She asked and I gave my opinion.” Rainbow said.

“But Dash! She poured her heart and soul in these dresses, wear it and see how cool you really look in it! Because oh man, you gotta admit these dresses are so awesomely cool.” Syera said as she dramatically emphasised her arms and squatted a little as she pointed to them with a smile.

“I know they’re cool but…” Rainbow Dash spoke then paused putting a hoof to her chin.

“Buuut?” Rarity asked as she gave Rainbow Dash a stern look.

“It needs to be about 20% cooler Rarity, definitely needs a good umph! And then it’ll be 20% cooler.” Rainbow said with a smile.

“20% Cooler, That's okay. Not a problem. There's plenty more where that came from. They were only a first pass. You're my friends and I want you to be 120% satisfied. Not to worry, I'll redo them.” Rarity said which caused a gasp from Syera.

“Wait Rarity, you can redo their’s, I love mine the way it is. I really do. if Anything I really wanna try it on.” Syera begged her fashionista friend, and she smiled and levitated her friend her dress to try on behind a changing curtain and mirror. And she heard some murmuring of her friends talking.

“Oh, Rarity. You don't have to do that. They're fine.” Fluttershy said to Rarity but she shook her head no to that and said.

“I want them to be better than just fine. I want you to think they're absolutely perfect” But Applejack seemed worried.

“Are you sure? I mean, we wouldn't wanna impose on anything about em.” She said but Rarity still refused and wanted to go on with it.

“Oh, it's no imposition. Really, I insist.” She said and then Twilight was the last to speak up.

“Well, in that case... We thank you again, Rarity.” The bookworm pony said and they soon left, but it seemed they forgot about their Saiyan friend who was still trying to figure out on how to put this dress on her slim fit-muscular toned bipedal body.

“What have I gotten myself into?” Rarity murmured to herself, but Syera called out to her.

“Um Rarity, mind helping me out with this? I can’t seem to figure out how this goes on.” Syera had the boots and bottoms on but the top was a complicated thing since the ties had to be firmly on there to keep it together.

“Ok darling one moment.” Rarity stepped in and saw the problem and used her magic. “Ah, here we go Syera, these ties are pretty tricky, you gotta make sure they’re in tight so the Kimono will stay together.” She told.

“So that’s what it's called? A Kimono?” The saiyan asked her fashionista friend.

“Yes, I always see you with that Gi of yours on, and I know you love the martial arts of various fighting styles like Karate and Kung-Fu so I did a little research in the culture.

“Wow, ok. Amazingly well done I really love this. It fits me like a glove too!” Syera said after Rarity let finished with the bow ties of the dress and let her friend get a feel for it. “I could honestly say if I were to perform in front of crowd of ponies about martial arts, I’d wear this.” Syera told and this caused a chuckle from Rarity.

“I’m glad you would darling, really this means a lot to me. I just wish the others felt the same way about their dresses.” Rarity sighed and had her head down.

It was then when Syera saw her fashionista friend in distress, she kneeled down in front of her and lifted her chin up and spoke “I know, I honestly don’t know what they are thinking but it can’t be good. But please promise me one thing Rarity.” her Saiyan friend asked.

“Ok, what is darling?” Rarity asked.

“Don’t work to hard or stress to hard, and just give them what they want. Whatever it is, I’ll support yours and their decisions on the matter. In fact, I’ll help you improve those dresses of theirs, but just in case this doesn’t go well. Make sure to remind them that the first dresses you made for them are still an option.” Syera said and hugged her unicorn friend and she could hear what sounded like tears of joy coming from Rarity. So she looked at her after the hug and saw makeup running down her cheeks mixed with her tears.

“Thank you Syera darling, I really needed that boost of confidence and your courageous nature.” Rarity said and with a hum and a nod of yes from Syera, it was then they got to work.

“But first, mind helping me get this off, I don’t wanna scuff it.” Syera asked and Rarity helped her get her kimono off, the rest the Saiyan did on her own and got in her regular clothes again.

After getting the necessary supplies needed and a few ideas to try, it was then the dress making process started. Fluttershy was the first to come over and try out the new dress that was requested.

“Hello? You wanted to see me, Rarity?” Fluttershy asked as she came in to see Rarity after Syera told her to go see her.

“Fluttershy! Ah, glad Syera was able to get you because… Your new-new gown's ready. I completely revised it and I know you're going to love it.” She said and had Fluttershy try on the new garments.

“What do you think?” She asked Fluttershy and the yellow pegasus hesitated when she said.

“I... love it.” Which Rarity automatically could tell she didn’t love it.

“Oh, you're just saying that.” Rarity told her but Fluttershy seemed persistent in not telling the truth.

“No, no. I do. It's... nice.” Rarity didn’t like this answer one bit, Syera observed as she listened to the two bicker.

"Nice"? Rarity added emphasis on that word since didn’t like the way Fluttershy said the word when describing the dress.

“Nice.” Fluttershy persisted, which aggravated Rarity more.

“If you don't like it, you should just tell me.” Rarity told her.

“Oh, but I do like it.” Fluttershy said still not telling the right answer or truth about this new-new dress.

“Like it or love it?” Rarity asked, Syera face-palmed with a sigh since this could go on for a while.

“Um... both?” Fluttershy said, Rarity still not satisfied with this answer.

“Oh dear…” Syera said as the two went back and forth

Rarity and Fluttershy going back and forth:

“Which is it?”

“Please stop asking me this, I…”

“Well, just tell me what you really think”

“No, that's okay…”

“Tell me.”

“No... it's fine…”

“Tell me!”

“I... like it…”

“Tell me, tell me, tell-me-tell-me-tell-me!”

Syera finally steps in and breaks up this argument and senseless bickering:

“For Celestia's Sake Fluttershy, just tell her dammit!” Syera broke out in an annoyed state as she was sick and tired of this bickering from Fluttershy.

“All right! Since you really wanna know…” Fluttershy took a large inhale, then said.

“The armscye’s tight, the middy collar doesn't go with the shawl lapel, the hems are clearly machine-stitched, the pleats are uneven, the fabric looks like toile, you used a backstitch here when it clearly called for a topstitch or maybe a traditional blanket stitch, and the overdesign is reminiscent of prêt-à-porter and not true French haute couture.” She told then paused before saying. “But, uh... you know... um, whatever you want to do is fine.”

Rarity sighed in relief and so did Syera. “Welp, back to the drawing board Rarity. You do that while I help Fluttershy out this dress.” Syera said as she approached Fluttershy.

“Right, back to the drawing board.” Rarity sighed and then had to think of a way to fix and adjust this new dress.

“Oh Syera… I hope Rarity won’t work herself too hard. I’m glad you’re helping her out though. And I will admit, your dress is probably the best out of all of ours since it's… Different from anything anypony would wear.” Fluttershy said with a smile as she got out of the dress for her.

“Ja, I guess that was the point and it got me interested since it seemed so wonderfully different than anything I’ve seen before.” Syera said and soon Fluttershy made her departure, the saiyan then came back to Rarity and helped out once more.

After many hours of painstaking requests and re adjustments to size and width of the dresses, as well as designs. The final results of them finally made a reality, only the outcome was… catastrophic.

Syera and Rarity were both shaking their heads in absolute disgust.

“I’m not a big fashionista like you Rarity, but jeez these are some ugly ass dresses.” Syera said crossing her arms.

“Yes I know… oh Syera, Opalescence… These are the ugliest dresses I've ever made” She said, and soon later. The reveal of these dresses happened as the five other pony friends came over to Rarity’s to see the final product.

“Okay. I did exactly what each of you asked for. Now don't hold back. Let me know what you really think.” Rarity told all of them and once they saw them, they all gasped in surprise as happy looks shined across their mugs as they observed them.

“Oh my!” Twilight spoke first.

“It's... perfect!” Fluttershy added.

“It's definitely 20% cooler! Rainbow said with enthusiasm.

“Why I’ll be, they're the best duds I ever did see.” Applejack said and soon they all chimed in all at once and said.

“It's exactly what I asked for!” This gave a sigh to Rarity but it made Syera gagged a little since these dresses were… horrifyingly, disgustingly, absolute thrown together, scraps of months’ old garbage dresses. Opalescence disapproved just as much since before, the first dresses she was purring and cuddling up to them. Now she’s hissing and clawing at them, as well as gagging in disgust at them.

“Thank you, Rarity.” Twilight thanked her unicorn fashionista friend.

“Are you as happy with them as we are? Huh? Huh? Huh?” Pinkie Pie asked her, and Rarity just sighed in relief once more and said.

“Well, I'm... happy that all of you are happy. I'm just relieved to finally be done.”

“You are never gonna believe this! You've heard of Hoity Toity?” Spike said as he came inside the boutique outta breath.

“Should we?” Syera asked.

“The bigwig fashion hotshot in Canterlot?” Twilight asked with a bit of a surprised look.

“Uh-huh. He heard about your fashion show. Well, maybe I happened to mention it to him... He's coming here all the way from Canterlot to see your work, Rarity!” Spike exclaimed in on this exciting news. Which then Syera looked at the dresses and thought of the outcome.

“Oh… Shit” Syera said out loud, not even trying to murmur or hide it.

“What? What is it Syera?” Twilight asked her saiyan sister.

“I was only thinking about how…. erm Hoity Toity would react to seeing your “Beautiful” dresses on stage!” Syera told with a bit of a nervous chuckle, then whispered to Rarity. “This… is not gonna end well at all.” this caused Rarity to get even more nervous than before.

“Whoa, Nelly! You could sell a ton o' dresses to this guy. Your business will be boomin'!” Applejack chimed in on this potential action.

“Wow!” Twilight shrieked out.

“That's so cool!” Rainbow Dash added on.

“I don't believe it!” Pinkie said as she bounced up and down.

“Hoity Toity? He's coming here? To see THESE dresses?” Rarity said with emphasis growing on each of the following questions.

“Yep! Get ready for all of your dreams to come true.” Spike said.

“Ok, alright you guys, everypony out! Me and Rarity have something to discuss. Out out out, and that means you too Spike!” Syera told as everyone exited the room.

“So… Hoity Toity, from what I heard from Spike. He must be a big deal eh?” Syera asked Rarity as she shrieked in such worry.

“Oh Syera, darling you don’t know the half of it. If he see’s these dresses, my career will be over!” Rarity said with absolute certainty that will happen if Hoity Toity does in fact see these dresses…

“Well… All I can say is this Rarity, you gave it your best shot. I will do anything till the end to help you achieve your goal. Because we’re best friends till the end, now let’s get this show on the road.” Syera said as she put her hands on Rarity’s shoulders and looked her in the eyes.

And with a confident smile, Rarity brightened up and said. “Yes, we’ve got a fashion show to put on.”

Then after a few hours of setting up the stage for the event and as ponies gathered as well as Hoity Toity himself. It was time for the show to start.

“Oh!” Rarity gasped. “There he is!” She said as she peaked out of the curtains with Opalescence and Syera.

“Him in the glasses and fancy hair dew and big stature?” the Saiyan asked.

“Yes!” Rarity replied confirming to Syera’s question.

“Right…” Syera said drawing that word out and then sighing. “Alright, let’s get this over with. And Rarity, I’m glad we could put this together.” She said to her friend and went behind the curtain with her outfit on as well as the others, ready to go.

“Okay. Relax, Rarity. Your friends like their outfits and so will he.” She paused with a bit of a squeal as the lights came off. “What's wrong with the lights?! Oh, yes. That means the show's starting. Good.” Rarity said and poked her head back behind the curtain.

Fashion music then started to play as the DJ dropped the needle on the record. Spike then began a bit of commentary over a mic.

“Since the beginning of time, the elite of Equestria have longed for pony fashions that truly expressed the essence of their very souls. Patiently waiting decades -- no,centuries -- for the perfect pony gown. Today, at long last, Equestria, your wait is over! Let's hear it for the breathtaking designs of Ponyville's own Rarity!” Spike finished and then it started, these… ‘dresses’ that the five ponies wore were viewed to this audience. Syera seemed like the oddball out of the picture since her dress was actually great to look at. Then, the reality set in for the five ponies and what they’ve done. The crowd murmured their comments till Applejack spoke quietly as they got to the edge of the platform that rotated, showcasing their dresses.

“Why's everypony lookin' at us like that?” She asked.

“Oh dear.” Twilight said after looking at herself and realized what has happened. Rainbow Dash then pointed out the obvious.

“You think we overdid it?” The pegasus pony asked, but then Applejack spoke saying

“Nah.” But then took a long pause to rethink that statement as she got a look of herself and her… duds. “Okay, maybe a little.”

“A Little!? You may have sunk the ship that was Rarity’s career with your ridiculous requests geniuses!” Syera whispered loudly with anger to all of them as she was next to Applejack when she said that.

It was then this Hoity Toity pony spoke up. “Oh, those amateurish designs look like a piled-on mishmash of everything but a kitchen sink!” Hoity said in disgust and the crowd laughed hysterically.

“It's a travesty is what it is. Those outfits are the ugliest things I've ever seen, oh for shame. Who is responsible for subjecting our eyes to these horrors? Not to mention wasting my valuable time.” He demanded who was responsible for such horrid designs.
“Oh no… Rarity…” Syera looked back at her friend as she hid behind Opalescence. But soon came out after Spike opened his mouth and clapped her on.

“Come on out and take a bow, Rarity. You worked really hard for this. Yes! All right, woo-hoo! Go, Rarity!” The crowd grew with murmurs and hush-hush comments. As the night passed, a depression sank over Carousel Boutique. And as about 3 days have passed, not even a single peep has been uttered from Rarity.

“Rarity? Rarity, where are you?” Syera asked as she came inside the boutique with Twilight and the others, they then heard what sounded like crying coming from the upstairs bedroom.

“Rarity? You okay in there? You haven't come out for at least 3 days.” Pinkie gave the door a knock as they came upstairs. But then Rarity shouted out to them.

“I'm never coming out! I can't show my face in Ponyville ever again! I used to be somepony. I used to be respected. I made dresses. Beautiful, beautiful dresses! But now everypony is laughing at me. I'm nothing but a laughing stock!” She shrieked out with more sobbing and tears following.

“You're not a laughing stock, Rarity.” Twilight said but then Rainbow opened her trap once more with a remark.

“She kind of is, Oww!” She winced in pain and held her head since Syera slapped her in the back of the head.

“Will you shut the hell up for 10 seconds without a smart remark coming out your mouth!?” The saiyan said with a bit of anger and Applejack calmed Syera down since she knew that she was pissed at all of them for their requests to make those abominations they called “dresses” that may have ruined their best friend’s life.

“Rarity, please come on out and talk to us.” Twilight pleaded and Syera added on to the plea.

“Yes please, we might have a way to fix this” The saiyan begged as well but all they got was a shriek in response.

“Leave me alone! I “vant” to be alone! I want to wallow in... whatever it is that ponies are supposed to wallow in! Do ponies wallow in pity? Oh, listen to me, I don't even know what I'm supposed to wallow in! I'm so pathetic!” Rarity became so sad and so broken as well as lost of what to wallow her shame in.

“Dammit Rarity, Ponies don’t wallow at all!” Syera said still in anger as she knocked on her door more but stopped and then tried to calm down. “Great… I think I might’ve made things worse with my anger…”

“Now what do we do?” Twilight asked.Fluttershy then said

“Uh... panic?” which caused Rainbow to face-hoof and so did Syera.

“That's your answer for everything!” She said still holding her head and rubbing it where Syera slapped her.

“Nopony is going to panic! Not while I’m around since I won’t allow it!” Syera said as she balled her fists up and held her arms to the side with her head down.

“Well what can we do, we can't just leave Rarity like this.” Applejack added and Syera hummed and nodded and thought long and hard.

“She'll become a crazy cat lady!” Pinkie Pie exclaimed with actual fear in her voice.

“Pinkie, she only has one cat ya know.” Twilight dryly spoke back to her claim.

“Give her time.” Pinkie said calmly as if she knew that would most certainly happen to Rarity in due time.

“Girls, nopony is going to wig out or become a crazy cat lady! Just please, be quiet some me and Twilight can think of what to do…” Syera said as she look at all of them and thought long and hard, but it was then Twilight and her looked at each other and at the room where the mannequins and dresses were.

“Hmm…” Both Twilight and Syera looked through the hole in the door and saw a dress that was unfinished, it was Rarity’s dress.

“That’s it! Come on everypony, let’s get to work.” Syera exclaimed as they then opened the door and pointed to the unfinished dress.

“You guys see what that is?” Twilight asked and they all nodded.

“We need to get Rarity to come out, so this will get her to come out, alright. Here’s what we're gonna do. But Fluttershy, find Opalescence first.” Syera said and they all listened in, the plan was the complete Rarity’s dress and get her attention and come out of her self proclaimed Exile.

After about an hour or two of hard work, which was the directions of the dress that Twilight handled as well as the materials, which Applejack, Pinkie Pie handled, and Fluttershy along with Syera to sew the pieces together. And finally Rainbow Dash keeping Opalescence busy till it was time.

“Few… it's done.” Syera said as she stood tall and proud.

“Yes it is, now about Opal. What do we do with her?” Twilight asked as the white persian cat rubbed against her leg. It was then Syera and Rainbow Dash looked outside at a nearby tree and a long branch and smirked.

“Oh Opalescence!” They both said and they then took her and put her outside on the branch of the tree, which she held onto dear life for and started meowing wholeheartedly loud for momma to come get her out of the tree.

It was then her meowing did the trick as the window to Rarity’s room shot open and she screamed out. “Opal!? How did you get up there?! Hang on you poor dear, Mama’s coming!” It was then ran out of the boutique and out the front door.

“Rainbow Dash?! Syera!? How dare you two take my poor Opal and strand her in a tree?!” Rarity said with anger towards the Saiyan and the Pegasus.

“Well, how else were we gonna get you out here to show you this?” The two said as they pointed to the dress, that is now complete that she was gonna wear to the Gala.

“What is it? It's not... You… Huh!?” Rarity gasped in shock.

“We all finished your dress for you Rarity.” Pinkie exclaimed with excitement.

“And it’s mostly thanks to Fluttershy's freaky knowledge of sewing as well as Syera’s coordination of assembling the dress.” Applejack told her with a smile as they all let Rarity give a good look before Fluttershy asked.

“Do you like it?” And then Rarity circled it, getting a good look at it.

“Like it?........Like it?!” There was a good pause which made the suspense grow even more.

“Uh-oh… She doesn't like it.” Fluttershy said with sadness and shamefulness.

“Nope, I don't like it.” Everypony in the group was extremely discouraged and let out a long “Awwww…” in response to her answer, her next one though. Blew it away.

“I love it!” Rarity exclaimed which made the friends of hers exclaim in joy and happiness, which screaming a good big.

“Yaaaaaayy!!!” which was followed by clapping and cheer.

“You ponies did an amazing job. It's exactly the way I imagined it.” Rarity told them, and came the sudden realization of what they did wrong, Fluttershy was the first to say something about the dresses.

“We just followed your brilliant design.” Next was Twilight.

“Like we should have let you do for our outfits. Those first dresses you designed were perfect, we just let our imaginations get the best of us and Syera was right, that the dresses you made Rarity were stunningly amazing.” She told their white unicorn friend.

“We're so super sorry Rarity.” Pinkie told with a super sorry tone of voice.

“You worked really hard to make our dresses exactly the way we wanted them. And well… We all saw how well that horror show turned out.” Rainbow Dash added.

“Oh, I forgive you.” Rarity said with a warming smile.

“Well, that's mighty big of you.” Applejack said to Rarity’s forgiveness.

“But my whole career is still ruined!” Rarity exclaimed in sadness. But then Syera said.

“Ah-ha! Not yet, I promised well… We all promised that we wouldn’t let you down Rarity, and we have gotten you a second chance to not only redeem ourselves but also redeem yourself.” She explained as the right on queue, Hoity Toity himself approached them.

“Alright, I haven’t got all day.” He said and soon in about another half hour and Rarity cleaned herself up as well as her shop and made a small showcase stage.

“Take two!” Hoity chimed out. With the curtains closed around the boutique. The show then went on after Rarity did her magic on the show floor, music playing and it was official.

First pony up was Twilight Sparkle! Showcasing her elegant sparkling and shiny starry outfit as the night sky sparkled with her knowledge and beauty.

Next up was Applejack, showing off the greens and reds just like the apple trees at Sweet Apple Acres. Her country flair showed ten fold at that moment as she hog tied an apple out from a tree.

Then came a shower of assorted candy as Pinkie Pie showed her wild nature with the various pink and blue lollipops as well as the candy corn on her dress that adorned pink, blue and yellow colours that those belonged to a pony who wanted to party while sugared up on assorted sweets.

Then with a flash of Lightning, not just any lightning. Rainbow Routed Lightning and then soon rainbow coloured lights rained down from the heavens as they parted the skies for sunshine and rainbows and in came the pegasus who dashed her way to the showroom.

And third to last was none other than the wondrous pony of blooming flowers and beautiful shyness, Fluttershy with her green dress woven and appeared to be designed based of exotic plants and fauna. As well as flowers and butterflies.

Then, they was a flair of golden Ki Energy, and with a orange ball with seven stars appeared, came in a Super Saiyan Syera with her Custom made dark blue and orange silk and satin short Kimono with the dark blue shorts and elegantly heeled white leather boots. And with a flash came out of Super Saiyan and posed with her arms up and her hands on her neck with her legs crossed as she hovered about the ground. Her tail flicking slightly in excitement.

“Now this is a fashion show! All of these dresses are absolutely amazing, and for a dress of pony design made for a completely new species, a Saiyan you called yourself? Absolutely astounding! Who is responsible? Step forward, show yourself!” Hoity requested immediately as on cue, the room came shimmered in elegant diamond light as Rarity appeared in her dress of various rose and violet designs and the music soon hit it’s climax as her horn shimmered brightly then the glow faded away.

“Brava! Brava! Magnifico! Encore!” Hoity Toity cheered in joy, this show definitely put Rarity back on the map and road to fashionista glory.

“Oh, thank you. Thank you! Oh, thank you so much!” She said in gratitude to Hoity but also to her friends in which they all shared a hug in friendship and love.

As Twilight wrote her letter to the Princess, the others were discussing on how amazing their dresses are, and how Syera could move so elegantly in her’s. She was throwing punches and kicks so elegantly with smoothness and flexibility.

“Awe yeah, show em what you’re made of Syera, woo hoo!” Rainbow exclaimed as she watched and tried to do the same as her, of course she tried to be easy with it and not tear the dress apart.

“Rarity, my congratulations to you on a most impressive fashion debut. Would you do me the great honor of allowing me to feature your couture in my Best of the Best Boutique in Canterlot?” Hoity made this request to Rarity herself, but of course there was a big catch to it. “Now, I'll need you to make a dozen of each dress for me by next Tuesday.”

Syera heard this and it sounded like a glass window had been broken since she fell over, feet upward as she was on her head. Of course everypony saw this and they laughed a good laugh over it.

Did Rarity take the deal? Probably not. Otherwise if she did, then her Career might not kick off so quickly.

As Syera regained her composure and got back in her normal state of mind. She then began to wonder what could possibly be on the road ahead to the Gala. Only time would tell and the foretold events to come will soon show themselves when the time and setting is just right.

Till then, she will keep training hard, as well as be with her best of friends in the town of Ponyville.

Last Time on Syera: The Equestrian Saiyan!

Rarity and the gang put on a fashion show, only to have the dresses she made first were scrapped by her friends. But Syera on the other hand loved her dress that Rarity made for her. But Twilight and the others didn’t and worked the poor fashionista pony to the bitter end with their ridiculous requests that nearly cost her career.

Rarity was lucky to be given a second chance when they realized the mistakes that were made and contacted Hoity Toity, one of the famous ponies in the fashion industry who reviewed the first fashion show was shown a redo, of which he loved and requested Rarity to make more dresses like the ones her and her friends are going to wear to the Gala.

Now that Rarity’s career is back on track. What tremendous events lie ahead before the Gala? Find out, Today!

Cue intro music ~ A Ponk’s Eight Crazy Keen Senses.

It was a beautiful sunny afternoon in Ponyville. Syera, Twilight and Spike were on one of the hilltops of one of the meadows near the outskirts of town, Twilight was testing out a new spell on both of them, a clothes changing technique as they put on what seemed to be leaves, a Rock on their head and a trekking style stick that was long and pointy.

Twilight’s plan was to change those items into a suit and tie for both of them.

“Eyes on me you two.” Twilight told them since they seemed a bit distracted by something going on.

“Oh, uh sorry.” Syera and Spike said to her, and they continued with the spell. First the suit came on both of them, next was the cane. The top hat for both of them was almost done.

“For this to work, it's crucial we keep our concentration totally on the-” She said but was cut off by the Pink pony known as Pinkie Pie, she was hoping around doing who knows what.

“Ooh!” Pinkie screamed out a little.

“Nyuh!” Spike was distracted and the hat turned back into a rock and fell on his crown and knocked him silly.

“Spike! This needs our full attention to make it happen. There's no other way!” Twilight complained and told him to look at her and focus on the spell.

“I can't help it. Look!” Spike said rubbing his top as he pointed over to Pinkie Pie, who was scurrying about, she eventually lifted up a rock and looked up at the sky while under it, but then moved away from under it as the rock then hit the ground with a thud.

“What is that Pink Pony up to?” Syera said as she took the rock, leaves and that stick and put em on the ground and walked over to see Pinkie.

“Ugh, never mind her. She's just being Pinkie Pie after all.” Twilight said as she just ignored her.

“Super-extra Pinkie Pie today.” Spike added.

“You can say that again Spike.” Syera told him as they approached her.

“Super-extra Pinkie Pie today.” Spike said again as he looked at Syera and she looked back at him and they shared a hearty laugh.

Though as they approached their party-pink pony friend, an eerie feeling crept around. Syera could feel it, but she didn’t know if Twilight and Spike could feel it as well.

“Hmm... Twitchy twitcha twitcha twitch.” Pinkie said as she held her tail, which happened to be twitching a lot.

“Pinkie Pie? What in the wide, wide world of Equestria are you up to?” Twilight asked Pinkie Pie, which she then responded by shoving her tail in her friends face.

Oh! It's my tail! It's my tail! It's a-twitch a-twitchin'! And you know what that means!” Pinkie said to them.

“Um... No, what is this supposed to mean exactly of your tail twitch a-twichin'? Cause I’m getting an odd feeling seeing your tail twitch, and it’s making mine twitch as well.” Syera was worried for her Pink pony friend and this is when she got close to the Saiyan.

“The twitchin' means my Pinkie Sense is telling me that stuff's gonna start falling! You three better duck for cover.” Pinkie told them to do, however Twilight had retorted with.

“Oh, Pinkie, it's not gonna rain. Why, there's barely even a cloud in the-ugh!” As if right on cue, something landed on the side of Twilight's face, and that something happened to be a croaking frogger. Syera saw it coming too as she cought one as well, only not on her head but in her hand and she looked at it.

“Huh, well would you look at that. Pinkie was right.” Syera chuckled as the frog she had in her hand croaked once again.

“He just said "nice catch" in Frog and That one said “Thank you” in Frog..” Pinkie told to Twilight, as well as Syera too of what their frogs they said in their native tongue.

“Oh, I'm so, so sorry. You okay, Twilight Sparkle? I just couldn't stand to see the pond getting so over-populated, what with the frogs all hopping into each other and all, so I decided to fly as many as I can on over to Froggy Bottom Bogg.” Fluttershy then spoke from up high as she had a cart full of froggers, some on her head since they were hopping all around her. It was then Syera gave the frog in her hand a bit of a boosted hop back up to the yellow pegasus’s cart.

“Thank you Syera.” Fluttershy said with a muffled voice as she had a frog in her mouth then told them “Bye-bye!” in the same muffled voice.

“Um... Twilight? You gotta little somethin' on your face there.” Pinkie told her unicorn friend.

“Oh, really? Did your Pinkie Sense tell you that, too?” Twilight retorted with sarcasm.

“Nah! I could just see it. La-la-la-la-la…” With that, Pinkie trotted away singing her little tune. And then the frog that was on her face, hopped off and away. Twilight then growled a little in disgust.

“C'mon you two, let's continue our practice session where there's a little less commotion.” She said and Syera shrugged saying.

“Alright sure, but seriously though, how did Pinkie predict those incoming events like that? it's almost as if she could sense things before they happen.” Spike then added on.

“Yeah cause wow! That was amazing! Pinkie Pie predicted something would fall, and it did!” He was then scolded by Twilight.

“Oh, come on. She said that something would fall, and a frog just happened to fall right around the same time. A coincidence, nothing else to it.” She said in denial of whatever this ability or sixth sense is that Pinkie has.

“Really? Do you think my ability of sensing things around is a coincidence? Because if anything my abilities are true in fact, what makes Pinkie’s any different?” Syera asked her unicorn sister. Before Twilight could respond, Pinkie showed up outta nowhere and starting saying.

“My tail! My tail! Twitch-a-twitch! Twitch-a-twitch! Somethin' else is gonna fall!” Syera then looked above to see if there is anything that will fall, same with Spike. But Twilight yet again with skeptical about it.

“Oh, Pinkie, please. Nothing else is gonna fa-aaah!” As she walked away from Pinkie, Spike and Syera, she forgot to look where’s she’s going and fell in a ditch.

“Oh no, Twilight fell! Is it... safe to go help her?” Spike asked Pinkie, Syera kneeled down and looked at her sister who was on her back in the ditch.

“It's okay, my tail stopped twitching. La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la…” She trotted away once more.

“Ha ha! That was amazing!” Spike said in amazement.

“I won’t lie, that was pretty interesting how she’d guess you’d fall in the ditch, or… well something would fall.” Syera held her hand to help Twilight out the big ditch.

“Oh, please.” Twilight grumbled in an annoyed tone.

“Uh, Twilight? Why are you hanging out in a ditch?” Syera looked to her left and saw Applejack and smiled.

“Oh, hey Applejack. And she’s only in here because of Pinkie and her supposive sixth sense” Syera was still scratching her head over the fact of how she can predict something can fall when her tail is twitching.

“Yeah because Pinkie Pie predicted it!” Spike added but Twilight hissed in response.

“Honestly, Spike, she did not. Two coincidences in a row like this may be unlikely, but it's still easier to believe than twitchy tails that predict the future.”

“Yeah it is odd, but maybe it’s a gift she has, I guess the twitching of her tail is probably a good thing since she can see things almost before they happen, funny I thought I was the only one around here who could do that…” Syera crossed her arms, though the mention of Twitchy tail did catch Applejack on guard.

“Twitchy tail? Pinkie Sense?” She then rushed for cover under a cart. “Whoa! Nyu-uh!”

“Don't worry, it's safe. Prediction already came true.” Spike told Applejack as he helped her out from under the cart.

“Oh, wait. Don't tell me you believe in this stuff, too?” Twilight asked the orange farm mare, who then proceeded to explain.

“I know it doesn't make much sense, but those of us who have been in Ponyville a while, have learned over time that, if Pinkie's a-twichin', you better listen.” Applejack warned the trio.

“Noted, is there any other signs of what could predict something Pinkie is sensing?” Syera asked, but before Applejack could reply...

“My ears are flopping! My ears are flopping!” Pinkie shouted as she appeared again.

“Huh?!” Syera was kinda surprised since she wondered what this might mean.

“Nyuh! What does that mean?!” Spike also asked surprised.

But then she looked at Syera and Twilight. “I'll start a bath for you two.”

“A bath? But I just took one last night.” Syera retorted.

Twilight then chuckled. “A bath, oh my. This thing keeps on getting more ridiculous by the minute!” Right after she said that, the one old pony ran by a mud puddle with a cart of hay on his back and some of it splashed on Twilight and Syera, covering them a good amount.

“Agh~ Well crap… this sucks.” Syera shook off some of the mud but she’ll need one good bath indeed. Twilight just grumbled in anger but soon both of them were lead to a bath in Pinkie’s loft up in Sugarcube corner.

“Pfft~” Twilight blew away some of the bubbles in her face and Syera was washing her hair.

“Ugh, looks like more mud got into my hair than I thought. Hehe, oh well.” She chuckled.

“Need some help Syera?” Pinkie asked.

“No thanks, but thank you though, but what I do need help with is understanding how, you exactly predict following events with your…. body parts.” She asked, Pinkie then chuckled but then proceeded to explain.

“Sooo, basically, it works like this: I get different, little, niggly feelings and they mean different things. Like when my back is itchy, it means it's my lucky day. And, when my knee gets pinchy, that means something scary is about to happen.” Pinkie explained with her usual smile.

“Is your knee pinchy now?” Twilight asked.

“No, but my shoulder's achy.” Pinkie told

“And what does your body tell you when your shoulder is achy?” Syera asked their Party Pink Pony friend

“That means there's an alligator in the tub.” She said as she then dipped her head in the tub Twilight was in and Pulled out a small Alligator.

“What the?” Syera dropped the soap in her hands as she was washing her body in the shower nearby.

Twilight shrieked with fear and hopped out on the edge of the tub. “How come your knee didn't get pinchy?! That isn't just scary, it's downright dangerous!”

Pinkie, giggled then said. “No, it's not, silly! This is my pet alligator, Gummy. He's got no teeth. See? Haha!” Gummy then began to bite Pinkie but of course it didn’t seem to faze her one bit due to him not having any teeth.

“Pet Alligator huh? Did he always not have Teeth?” Syera asked as she rinsed her body off in the shower before stepping out with a Towel around her.

“I’m not really sure to be honest, I found him one day when I was smelling some flowers out by one of the ponds, I thought I’d take him in and take good care of him, plus I really think he is adorable.” Pinkie said smiling as she then petted him with her hoof. His expression was so neutral and unchanging, it kinda freaked out Twilight a little, though Syera shrugged it off and then got dressed in her outfit that Pinkie took the time to wash and dry for her. A few moments later they walked out of Pinkie’s Loft and back into the streets of Ponyville.

“Thanks for the quick clean up Pinkie Pie.” Syera thanked her.

“Yeah, no problem.” Pinkie giggled happily was she walked with Twilight and the humble saiyan.

“Well, I still don't believe all this... "special power" stuff. It's just a bunch of mumbo-jumbo.”

Twilight still complained about this “Pinkie Sense” Pinkie has, still not believing in it.

“Seriously Sis? Then how do you explain the powers I have?” Syera asked crossing her arms as they stopped for a moment to have this discussion.

Twilight then thought for a moment then explained. “Well there is a huge difference between your powers and this supposive “Special power” Pinkie has, you train your mind and body in order to control this power, Pinkie on the other hand, it's just random and has no logic at all, I just don’t believe it!” She hissed.

“What's not to believe? You do magic, what's the difference?” Pinkie retorted.

“Huge! For one thing” She then moved aside some bottled products like soaps and conditioners that were on a box and stood atop it, clearing her throat, then said. “Magic is something you study and practice. It only happens when you decide to do it, and it's meant to make something specific that you choose to happen, happen. With you, like I said before, makes no sense at all!” Though all this was said, Pinkie still retorted back.

“That's so not true, Twilight! Sometimes it's a bunch of random things happening to my body at random times that supposedly predict the future. I call 'em "combos".” Pinkie said smiling.

“Combos?” Both Twilight and Syera asked the Pink Pony.

“Sure! You know, like, ear flop, then knee twitch, then eye flutter. That means the sky is about to be graced with a beautiful rainbow!” Pinkie said with excitement if that combo did happen.

“Sounds pretty interesting of a combo, usually my combos are involving kicks and punches, and occasionally Ki blast attacks.” Syera said then asked “Care to see one Pinkie?”

“Ooo! I’d love to but wait… Uh-oh, I feel a combo coming on. Ear flop, eye flutter, knee twitch!” Pinkie warned about the combo she is now experiencing.

“Hmm? wait Twilight! The Door!” Syera put her hand out as she saw Twilight walk to the door.

“Ugh!” Though it was too late as the door came open at a fast pace of speed and slammed into the poor purple unicorn. It was Spike coming out with a handful of books, oddly enough there were beeping noises coming from him as he walked backwards out the door way.

Syera then rushed to Twilight’s side and helped her up, she then groaned out to Pinkie saying

“Ughhh... You said that combo meant "beautiful rainbow" She was then corrected by Pinkie Pie.

“Oh no-no-no-no-no. You're thinking of an ear flop, then knee twitch, then eye flutter. This was an ear flop, then eye flutter, then knee twitch. That usually means "look out for opening doors". You okay?” She explained as she walked over to Twilight and asked about her current condition after being hit by a door.

“Ugh... I don't believe this.” Twilight groaned with a huff and puff filled with annoyance.

“You don't believe because you don't understand” Pinkie explained since it was true, Twilight did not want to believe something she could not prove scientifically.

“Alright, how about this then you two.” Syera then told the two ponies her proposal on running tests on Pinkie to see if something could prove how she predicts the future with her body. Twilight agreed heavily to the idea and it went on, Pinkie was excited to be a test subject as well so the plan went smoothly.

“Okay. Now when you get another twitch, we'll have all kinds of scientific information.” Twilight explained as Pinkie Pie was hooked up to this machine that picked up calculations on her body.

“Okie-dokie-lokie!” She said as steam whistled out of the machine periodically as they waited for any type of result.

“Any twitches yet?” Syera asked her as she looked at the data that streamed out of the machine on paper.

“Nopey-dopey!” She said, more noises coming from the machine by the minute.

“I just realized Twilight, when was the last time we used this thing since we built it here in the basement?” Syera asked as she then marked down the data coming from the machine.

“Hmm.. to be honest, I can’t remember, didn’t we use this space for storage?” Twilight asked, then looked at all the other junk they had down there. Some of it is from Canterlot from when they lived in the Tower.

“Huh, oh well, anyway Pinkie? You gettin’ somethin now? Anything?” Syera asked.

“Wait! Hold on!” there was a long pause. “Uhh, no.” She said which made Twilight growl a little in anger.

“Are you kidding me?! After a whole day of nonstop twitching, now that I've got you all hooked up, you're not getting a single one?” She complained.

“I don't control it, they just come and go.” Pinkie told.

“So it's random?” Syera asked.

“Uh-huh” Pinkie said smiling.

“That makes no sense!” Twilight exclaimed still in denial that this whole Pinkie Sense thing isn’t real.

“Sometimes you just have to believe in things, even when you can't figure 'em out.” Pinkie told the stressed unicorn.

“I think I’m starting to see your Logic Pinkie, and how this whole thing you have works. If something is about to happen near you, your body instantly gives you a vibe of weariness and makes you alert to what’s around you.” Syera said explaining her power.

“Exactly! See Syera gets it, why can’t you Twilight?” Pinkie asked in confusion.

“I will not believe in anything I cannot explain.” Twilight’s stubbornness seemed to show no give in letting up. But then all of sudden…

“Wait, hold on, I'm feeling something…” Pinkie alerted them.

“Oh my gosh, what? What is it?!” Twilight asked, there was a brief moment of silence then the sound of one’s stomach growling is heard, which happened to be Pinkie’s.

“It's my tummy! That usually means I'm hungry! Let's eat!” Pinkie said smiling.

“Huh, well cause I was actually…” Syera paused in mid speech as then her stomach growled as well. “Huh? Looks like my tummy agrees with yours Pinkie, I’m hungry as well.

“Urgh... You know what?” Twilight then ripped the power from the machine Pinkie was hooked up to. “Just forget it! I don't need to know if this is real or not. I don't need to understand it! I don't even care!” She said walking off in anger.

“Okie-dokie-lokie.” Pinkie said smiling as she hopped up the stairs with Twilight and Syera.

“Uh-oh.” Pinkie said as she paused in her hops to the door.

“Hmm? What’s wrong Pinkie?” Syera asked as she stopped and looked at her friend. It was then her ears flopped, her eyes fluttered then her knees twitched uncontrollably.

“Hu-bu-bu-bu-buh!” Pinkie Pie then fell over mumbling something. It was the door for the entrance to the basement slammed open, and Twilight happened to be in front of it and was smushed against the door again.

“Pinkie? Have you seen Twilight?” Spike asked since he was the one who opened the door.

“Uh-huh.” Pinkie then said as she got up hopping to the door.

“Yeah she’s behind the door Spike, this is the second time you did this ya know.” Syera told the dragon crossing her arms as the door then closed shut to reveal a door stuck Twilight.

“Oh snap! Twilight, are you ok?” Spike asked in shock.

“Rrrrgh... Did you two plan this?” Twilight groaned out as she fell off the door.

“Plan what?” Spike asked confused.

“I think she might be thinking you and the door opening are planned coincidentally with Pinkie’s Sense to predict the future, but I doubt anyone could have predicted you coming through that door. I honestly couldn’t, so come on Twilight there’s no way that they planned it, trust I know a prank when I see one.” Syera said as she walked and opened the door to walk through.

“Urgh! This is ridiculous. This can't be happening. This makes no sense. I have to figure this out.” Twilight said stomping her hoof in front of her.

“Well sorry Twilight, you’re probably gonna have to do this one on your own, I’m gonna get something to eat with Pinkie Pie. See you around, Hey Pinkie! Wait up!” Syera then ran towards the Pink Pony.

“Oh Syera, you said you’re hungry too right?” She asked.

“Yeah, I could honestly go for a good grubbing session after all this data tests and such about this power of yours. But in all honesty though, mind telling me about how you found out about this ability you have? I’m curious, and don’t worry, no absurd tests or anything like that.” Syera said laughing and so did Pinkie.

“Heh, alright, but first let's get a feast for our bellies!” Pinkie said with excitement.

“Yes! Now that’s what I’m talking about.” Syera said with excitement. It was then much later, they had their bellies filled with all sorts of goodies and assorted foods.

“Phew, wow Syera, to be honest I never met anypony who could eat as much as you.” Pinkie said as she laid next to her Saiyan friend as plates and bowls of food were empty next to them. As well as glasses once filled with liquid now sit empty.

“Hehe, I guess I could say the same to you, I never met anyone who could nearly out eat me. Not even Celestia herself could hold the banner you hold Pinkie.” Syera said as she then sat up, her stomach full and kinda sticking out a little, same with Pinkie.

“Anyway, hang with me for a bit? Just to chill, play and explore around?” Pinkie offered to the saiyan next to her with a smile.

“That sounds lovely, let’s go. Ahh~” Syera then got up on her two feet and stood tall. Putting her arms up as she stretched. “Ok, I’m ready to go when you are Pinkie.”

“Hehe, ok Let’s go wherever the wind takes us.” Pinkie and Syera then took a stroll across Ponyville, only little to their knowledge they were being watched. But by who?

“Hey Syera come over here and smell this flower because its so pretty and Mmm…. Smells so amazingly good.” Pinkie told her friend who walker over and kneeled down to get a wiff of the pretty flower.

“Mm.. wow that does smell great. Huh?” It was then Syera what looked like… something peeking out from in the bushes?

“What the?” Syera asked herself confused.

“Hey what’s wrong Syera? Is it the flower?” Pinkie asked with an agape mouth and looked confused.

“Oh no it's not that, listen, something's come up, go on ahead I’ll catch up with you later ok?” Syera then put two fingers up to her forehead and teleported away.

“Oki doki loki!” Pinkie then hopped away. It was then Syera appeared before Twilight and Spike.

“Um… Twilight? Spike? what are you two doing?” Syera asked crossing her arms as she looked at the dragon and unicorn.

“Ah!” Twilight gasped as the hat she had on fell off.

“Whoa-oh-uh!” Spike gasped as he saw her

“Honestly, Syera!? don't you know better than to sneak up on ponies?!” She asked in anger.

“Well hate to break it to you, but isn’t that what you’re doing right now?” Syera asked chuckling.

“No! I'm doing scientific research. I'm observing Pinkie Pie, scientific name: Pinkius Pieicus, in its natural habitat.” Twilight explained, which had Syera dumbfounded.

“You seriously created a scientific name for Pinkie? You gotta be kidding me, now you’re the one who is being ridiculous Twilight." Syera laughed while scratching the back of her head.

“Say what you want sis, But I know there's something fishy going on with the whole twitchy prediction thing, and I'm getting to the bottom of it. So, shh. Come on Spike, Pinkius Pieicus is on the move.” Twilight then took the bush she had and ran away with it with Spike following Pinkie.

“Ugh… Whatever Twilight, hehe. She’ll come to realization soon, I just know it. Anyway, I should get back to Pinkie Pie and see what’s she doing now. And hopefully get the whole vibe of being watched from my crazy unicorn sister.” Syera then used Instant Transmission once more to teleport herself now to Pinkie, who was now humming to herself and rolling around in front of the schoolhouse playground.

“Hey Pinkie, I’m back.” Syera said waving hi to her friend.

“Oh hey Syera, glad you could… wait… hold on~” It was then Pinkie had a sudden nose itch, it was then she gasped and ducked under cover from something.

“Wait what’s wrong? Is something gonna fall?” Syera asked confused.

“No! Hide! Quickly!” Pinkie told her.

It was then Syera gasped as she saw what Pinkie meant by hide, there were a swarm of wasps heading their way.

“Agh!?” Syera then hid behind the tree near where Pinkie was hiding underneath the metal horseshoe in front of his school.

“Ok… note to self, Itchy nose, a sense that shows danger is close, even a swarm of angry wasps!” Syera said hiding. But then the swarm of wasps seemed to be heading towards Twilight and Spike.

“Nrg… Hey! Twilight, Spike run away fast!” Syera screamed to them, though it seemed too late as the wasps were already having their way with Twilight. But to shoo them off, Syera stepped in and shot a small blue Ki blast at the bush to make them scatter.

“Hmm… Come on Pinkie, I think it's best we find some other place to go.” Syera said as she stood in front of the Pink pony and looked back at her.

“Oh? Hmm… I know! Let’s go to Sweet Apple Acres and check out Applejack’s new cellar, I heard it's full of all kinds of Apple products!” Pinkie suggested.

“Sounds like fun, let’s go.” Syera and Pinkie soon made their way to Sweet Apple Acres to check out this cellar Applejack has.

On the walk over, Syera began to realize how much the land would shift. From being flat to nearly hilly and the whole atmosphere around her changed with her walk with Pinkie.

Soon their feet touched Sweet Apple Acre soil as they came upon the entrance. Now soon the barn that belonged to Applejack and her family soon became visible on the horizon.

As the two approached, Pinkie then suddenly had a sudden combo.

“Whoa? Pinkie, what’s wrong this time?” Syera asked as she saw this sudden combo appear.

“Agh~ Ear Flop… Eye Flutter! Ooobah! Knee Twitch!” Pinkie then fell onto her bum again after experiencing that sudden combo.

“Wait? Why are you having that combo? I don’t see a door in sight. Or is there one and I just can’t see?” Syera asked as she searched around and saw no door in sight. Except for maybe the ones on the barn.

Then a sudden scream was heard down over on the left side of the barn. It looked like basement doors, Syera then walked over as she heard the commotion.

“Wo-o-ah! Ow! Ugh! Ow! Ow!” Was heard as she walked over to the doors, she then slowly walked down them and saw a layed out Twilight Sparkle and Applejack

“Twilight! Syera! You came to visit my new apple cellar, how nice. Um… Syera is Twi okay?”

“Oh my gosh! Twilight!” Syera then ran down the stairs and picked her up in her arms.

“Oh man… oh hey Applejack, look this is a nice cellar and all but I gotta get Twilight some medical attention, I’ll see you around.” Syera put two fingers to head and teleported to get Spike and then to the hospital.

“I’ll handle this Syera, you know to make sure she is ok.” Spike told the saiyan as they got to the hospital.

“Ok, when she gets patched up, give her one of these or… actually take two just in case something happens.” Syera then gave the dragon two of the green magic beans she usually carries that heal a good majority of wounds.

After the dragon took the beans, he saluted and she saluted right back and teleported back to Pinkie Pie moments later.

She was in the middle of looked at Applejack’s Apple Cellar while she was still there.

“Ah Syera you’re back! Where’s Twilight?” Applejack asked.

“Don’t worry, she’s resting up and docs are giving her treatment. Anyway, shall we tour your cellar? And… maybe get a sample of what’s here?” Syera asked drooling a little in delight since she could smell how many goodies were down there.

“For you my friend, sure can do.” Applejack said chuckling and looked at Pinkie.

“Want to join us in the little tour?” Applejack asked their pink pony friend.

“Oh of course! I wanna sample some stuff too!” Pinkie said smiling big. And with that said, they both got to get a little taste of what Applejack had in store of the new cellar she has, and it was delightful.

There were sweet tarts, pies and pastries all saved and preserved to perfection, as well as Cider that has aged well and was beyond refreshing. it was then Pinkie and Syera decided to have a little picnic in the Ponyville park to enjoy their sample of treats and drinks.

“Wow, this stuff looks soooooooo good!” Pinkie as she hopped in joy.

“Oh you’re telling me, how about we sink our teeth in these sweets.” Syera as she picked up a sweet tart as Pinkie took a pastry.

“Oh yes, and toast good friend.” Pinkie had a cup of cider as Syera did as well.

“Yes, cheers!” She said and then the two toasted their cups and drinked, as well as ate their sweets.

As they enjoyed their treats, Pinkie then had something happen to her body. It was her tail, it was twitching.

“Whoa, Pinkie, your tail.” Syera said with a gasp as she put her drink down and pointed to it.

“Oh? Is something gonna fall?” Pinkie said as she held it in her hooves. As it continued, Syera looked around the in the air.

“Huh, weird, I don’t see a~” Syera paused as she then heard something break, it was a pot, she looked over at where the sound came from, it was Twilight sitting behind a bench in a wheelchair. A flower pot broke on her head. It was then an Anvil dropped and smashed itself atop her crown, then a haycart and then all of a sudden a Piano as well. When the saiyan got up and ran over to her sister she was covered in bruises and cuts.

Then Syera looked up and saw a delivery cart with a couple of Pegasus Ponies up there. One of them happened to be Derpy Hooves, who the saiyan guessed has something to do with the stuff falling. One of the Pegasus ponies did not look happy at her.

Syera was most surprised to see her unicorn sister still breathing even after all of this. Especially the Anvil hitting her head, she must be on strong unicorn, or just the fact her stubbornness kept her alive. Syera just sighed in relief then looker at Pinkie.

“Hey I’ll be right back, I’m gonna get Twilight back home so she can just take it easy.” Syera told Pinkie Pie.

“Ok, I just hope she is alright, and trust me Syera, I knew she was following us all day, I just wanted to act like she was being incognito around us.” Pinkie said smiling.

“Yeah I get it, anyway I’ll be back around, and save me some of those treats! I want to taste em so badly!” Syera said as she flew away with Twilight back to the treehouse. She was then met with Spike.

“Hey Spike, you still have that bean I gave you?” Syera asked as she took Twilight up to her bedroom.

“Yeah, here it is.” Spike then took it out from his pocket and gave it to the Saiyan.

“Ah, thanks Spike.” It was then Syera laid Twilight on her bed and perked her head up. “Twilight wake up, eat this.” She said as her sister opened her mouth and took the bean, chewing it and then swallowed, slowly opening her eyes.

“Ah… where… ah!? Syera it's you! But wait… Pinkie...” Twilight then got up from her bed and on her feet. She was still bruised up a little but they were starting to fade away as the bean worked its magic.

“Twilight don’t be so hasty, you're hurt, you need to rest up.” Syera told her as she reached her hand out to her sister. But Twilight swatted her hoof at her hand to shoo it away.

“NO! I will not rest till I figure out how Pinkie has this power.” Twilight told with determination.

The saiyan just sighed. “Well be glad I got you that bean, otherwise you’d be in a coma. Anyway, you can spy all you want I’m not gonna stop you. But I’m gonna get to Pinkie Pie as well and hang with her.” Syera then got up, off the bed and then teleported to where Pinkie still was with the Cider and treats.

“Ah Syera your back! how’s Twilight?” Pinkie asked.

“She’s alright, still determined to scientifically prove your Pinkie sense.” Syera told her with a chuckle.

“Hehe, well ok then. Anyway, shall we dine on these goodies!?” Pinkie asked with a smile and happiness.

“You bet!” Syera said back with happiness and then the two savored each moment with the apple products they had, each of them consuming a variety of pastries, strudels, pies and other stuff. As well as drinking some of the most delicious Apple Cider ever.

Though soon later they just chilled in the park. Pinkie was humming to herself and decided to sit on the ground and fiddle her hoof with her tongue while Syera sat with her legs crossed and her hands together as she meditated with her eyes closed.

Moments later Applejack came around with a whole bushel full of Apples.

“Hey again Applejack. Whatcha doin'?” Pinkie said with a smile as she then looked at her country mare friend with a smile.

“Takin' more apples to my new apple cellar. How 'bout you, Pinkie? Whatchu and Syera doin'? Ya’ll finish the sample of treats I gave ya already, good wasn’t it?” Applejack said with delight in her voice.

“Oh yeah delightful AJ, you never fail to impress. And for Syera and me, were just chilling while letting Twilight secretly follow us all day without me knowing.”

“You mean you knew all along?! Why didn't you tell me? Syera why didn’t you tell me while we were still at the library or before hand!?” Twilight hissed in anger at the Pink Pony and Saiyan.

Before Syera could say a word, Pinkie already retorted with a giggle. “Hehe~ Silly, that would've spoiled the secret!” This only made Twilight even more aggravated. Syera then put a hand on her shoulder as she had a few twitching spasms and made a few crooked faces.

“Urgh!” the lavender unicorn grunted out in anger, Syera trying her best to calm her down.

“Twilight, just go to your happy place ok.” Syera said as she rubbed her sister on her back but got swatted away by her hoof. Then Spike asked.

“Tail... still twitching?” the Pinkie smiled then said.

“All done, clear skies from here on in, as far as I can tell— Hu-bu-bu-bu-bu-bu!” Then all of a sudden she shuddered really hard in place from where she was sitting on the ground.

“Oh no! What does that one mean?” Spike asked with fear.

“Yeah, never seen you do that before Pinkie. What is it now?” Syera asked a bit worried.

“Dunno, and you're right, I never gotten any like it before, but whatever that shudder’s about, it's a doozy. Something you'd never expect to happen is gonna happen!” She said then had another shudder attack happen.

“Hu-bu-bu-bu-bu hu-bu-bu-bu! And it's gonna happen... at Froggy Bottom Bogg!” This caused a gasp from everypony.

“That’s where Fluttershy is right?” Syera questioned out in a worried tone.

“Eeyup, That's where Fluttershy's headed alright” Applejack chimed in then stomped her hoof looking in the direction of where the bog is.
Spike then looked back at Pinkie and asked “Oh no! Is it about her?”
Pinkie Pie shrugged then got up and said. “Uh, I'm not sure.”

“We better go and make sure she's okay.” AJ said and then started to take off running, Pinkie, Spike and Syera right behind her.

“Right! Let’s go!” Syera said as she glided across the ground at a fast pace.

“Calm down, everypony. All we know right now is that Pinkie Pie just got a case of the shivers. That's all.” Twilight said, sadly no one heard her as the all took off running, so she sighed in annoyance and ran to catch up. Putting Spike on her back in the process when she did.

“Guh— Hey!” Spike said then Syera looked back and then teased saying.

“Hey yo, I thought you didn't believe in this stuff?” Which then caused Twilight to huff out in annoyance then she hissed out.

“I don't. I just want to be there to see the look on Pinkie's face when we find out nothing's wrong.” Twilight smirked as she looked at Pinkie with a determined look.

Pinkie then smiled at that saying. “Okie-dokie!”

Soon later, the group of friends were now entering the Everfree Forest from the south end which leads directly to the bog. They slowed up as they neared the entrance to Froggy Bottom. However, once they neared the place, Pinkie started having the shudders again.

“Hu-bu-bu-bu-bu-bu!” Pinkie murmured out as she shuddered in place, experiencing the warning of the supposive doozy that will happen at the bog.

“Cold? Need a jacket or something?” Twilight teased sarcastically as she looked at Pinkie, who then smiled saying.

“No thanks, I'm fine.” But then experienced another set of the shudders. “Hu-bu-bu-bu-bu-bu!”

“I wouldn't think anypony would want a Jacket here, cause phew... it's hot…” Syera said, wiping the sweat off her brow as they trotted through the humid forest.

“So... Whaddaya think happened to Fluttershy girls?” Spike asked still worried for their animal friendly pegasus friend.

“I hope nothin'.” Applejack said.

“Yeah, I hope nothing as well. I am sensing her energy just up ahead, we must be close.” Syera said as she then walked beside Applejack, leading the pack of friends. Though Spike still had concerns about Fluttershy.

“That's good, but, whaddaya think happened to her if anything?” Spike asked

“I'm tryin' not to think about it.” Applejack said.

“Me too. But I'm thinkin' about it anyway. Like, what if she exploded?” Spike said in exaggeration.

“Just exploded? For no reason?” Applejack asked confused.

“Yeah, like boom!” Spike said throwing his arms out.

“Spike, how would she have just exploded, for no reason what so ever, that sounds like load of sour apples to me.” Syera said crossing her arms that something like that could happen. “Plus if she did explode then I would’ve felt her life force drain away from existence…”

“True that, but the thought of such a thing is just…. Whoa!” Pinkie said wide-eyed.

“I know, it really gets your mind juices flowing of the possibilities.” Spike added on.

“What if... What if she exploded, and then... and then exploded again!?” Pinkie said in exaggeration, this caused Syera to give her a look that said “seriously.”

“Can you do that? Can you explode twice?” Spike asked in fear.

“Of course not!” Applejack and Syera both said as they looked back at the dragon and Pink pony.
“I mean, not unless something caused whatever object is near said item caused it to explode a second time. I would show you in example but now’s not the time.” Syera told as they pressed on but Spike kept rambling on.

But what if she exploded, and exploded again, and then— ugh!” Spike was halted in his tracks when Twilight when she stomped on his hoof.

“Will you stop it with this exploding twice nonsense!? She's fine, I'm sure of it.” Twilight reassured her dragon companion as well as everyone else.

“I hope you're right, for Fluttershy's sake. Look! There's Froggy Bottom Bogg!” Applejack said pointing with her right front hoof towards the swampy section known as Froggy Bottom Bogg.

“Yup, this sure does look like the place. Its Foggy… all they way to the bottom, and it's definitely a bog.” Syera said as a light foggy haze coated the place and it was tough to make out what is in front of them 10 or 15 feet away.

“Fluttershy!” Applejack called out.

“Fluttershy!” Pinkie Pie Called out as well.

“Fluttershy!” Syera called out as well.

“Fluttershy The Kind one!” Pinkie Pie said with a giggle as they looked around and Syera just turned around at her with a look that said “really” then spoke to her saying.

“How many Fluttershys do you think are in this Bog?” Syera said with a sarcastic tone. “Fluttershy!” She called out again.

“Fluttershy! Flut~” Twilight called out and paused as she then heard something groan lowly in a distance that gave her chills. “Um Girls, we may not be alone here.” The lavender unicorn pointed out.

“You’re right, but there is so much out here I’m sensing, it's tough to tell if something will sneak up on us.” Syera looked around and just wondered about the life around here and local fauna.

It was then Spike shouted out in joy since he found Fluttershy and hugged her from behind “Fluttershy! You're okay!”

Fluttershy was a little surprised then told him “Of course” as he hopped off her from the sudden embrace.

“Phew, what a relief.” Applejack said as she whipped off the sweat off her brow as she now was at a calm state now that her friend is ok.

“I'm so glad everything's all right.” Pinkie said with a smile.

“Indeed, glad to see nothing bad has happened yet at least, especially to you Fluttershy.” Syera crossed her arms as she looked around then looked at her dear friend with a smile.

“Sorry, I know it's not nice to gloat but... Aha! I told you there was nothing to worry about, and I was right.” Twilight said in happiness as she could gloat with a smile and continued on.

“Pinkie Pie said whatever she was shuddering about was a agkha…doozy, and agckha... and the only aghcka…doozy here is how right I am.” Twilight continued and coughed in between explaining, Only little to her knowledge, something was creeping behind her, something big.

Applejack took notice of it first and tapped Syera on her side and pointed with her hoof and they slowly stepped back. “Um... Twilight?” She said to break the gloating Unicorn pony’s prowess. However she continued.

“Pinkie's made a lot of predictions today but ugh, what is that smell? But what we've shown here is that there's no point in believing in anything you can't see for yourself.” Twilight finally finished, It was then Pinkie, Applejack, Fluttershy, and Spike stood in front of Twilight looking upward, the same with Syera while she was powering up with a serious glare towards the creature behind her.

“W-Well t-then, s-see what's b-b-behind you, Twilight!” Spike said with a frightened look and pointed. Then the creature roared, loudly, or at least three of its heads roared, one was surprised at first and then followed suite, wait… heads?!

“I see it... But I don't believe it!” Twilight said in fear.

“But I do! Kaioken!” Syera shouted as her red aura powered up ready to take on this beast.

“Is that a hydra!?” Pinkie Pie asked.

“Not to be rude, to either of you. But who cares!? Let Syera take of it! Run!” Applejack said as they all took off except Pinkie and Syera.

Pinkie Pie whimper in fear but Syera held her ground.

“Now! Pinkie Run!” Syera said as she then blocked one of the Hydra’s head from eating her dear friend then kicked it back.

“Pinkie! Syera! Come on!” Twilight called out to the two.

“Ooph!” Pinkie Pie shrieked as she ran in fear away from the Hydra, she seemed to be shuttering still from whatever this doozy is.

“Oh, I'm so sorry.” Fluttershy said as she saw some of the frogs hopping away quickly.

“Keep moving! Don’t let that four headed bastard's gaze strike upon you!” Syera shouted out as she glided across the muddy ground of the bog along her friends. “Fluttershy look out!”

“Ah!” Fluttershy was able to dodge the incoming attack from the hydra, it looked like he took a log in the mouth as well as one other bit down on a rock and the third head got a bump on his head while the fourth head just watched and laughed.

“Everypony up that hill!” Twilight shouted as she pointed a hoof to the hill ahead of them to escape.

“He-e-elp!” Spike screamed as he was sinking in some quicksand. It was then Syera saw this.

“Spike! I’m coming!” Syera flew over to Spike and grabbed him and threw him in Twilight’s back as she ran away. But before she could react, one of the Hydra’s head then clamped around Syera’s body swallowing her whole, or at least he tried.

“Agh! Eww… you ever brush!?” Syera said as she smelled the inside of the Hydra’s mouth. She then put her boots on its upper jaw and her hands on its lower jaw forcing its mouth open. “Nrg! Open wide! Ahhhhh!!!”

“Oh no! Syera get out of there!” Twilight said with fear of losing her Saiyan sister.

“Working on it!” Syera then grunted one last time and broke the jaw open of the one head of the Hydra then leaped out. It screeched in pain as it forced it jaw back into place.

“Syera’s ok! I think we're gonna make it!”

“Of course I’m ok Sis, it’ll take more than that to take me down!” Syera said running next to her.

“But Pinkie's still shuddering!” Spike pointed out as Pinkie was shuddering away.

Then all of sudden she stopped. “Oh, lookie there, it stopped. O-h-h-h, t-h-e-r-e i-t i-s a-g-a-i-i-i-i-n-n-n!!!!” Pinkie then again Shuddered away, Applejack helped her move along, eventually the group came up to a pretty wide chasm.

“Ugh, he'll be up here in no time! Quick, one at a time, cross!” Twilight told the pony's to cross it on very skinny platforms that looked like they’d crumble under pressure.

“Nyu-uh! Oh boy.” Spike was a little scared then asked. “Uh, say do you know any spells for turning a hydra into a mouse?” Spike asked.

“No.” Twilight told.

“How about a squirrel?” He asked.

“No!” Twilight said again.

“How 'bout—” Before Spike could ask about a spell, Twilight growled a little then said.

“No small rodents of any kind!” She then sighed.

“That's too bad.” Spike said in despair as the Hydra drew closer and closer. Then Fluttershy did the unexpected and followed Pinkie’s advice back when they were dealing with the other dragon.

“A hop, skip, and a... jump!” The pegasus said as she hop, skipped and jumped each rock platform to the otherside.

“Whoa-ho! Thank… you!” Spike said as Syera grabbed hold of him and tossed him on the rock platforms at the right speed and momentum so he’d bounce across each one.

“Pinkie! come on, you’re next!” Syera told as she waited to help each Pony cross, she then shuddered really bad, to the point where she went off the edge and shuddered in place in the air.

“Whoa-oa-oa-oa-oa!” Pinkie said as she was shuddering in place. It was then Applejack pulled her back towards her and soon the two ponies hopped across.

“Oh No! He's too close.” Twilight said in fear.

“I'll distract him. Applejack, take Pinkie across with you! You too Syera, go!” Twilight told as she readied herself.

“Hold your horses Twi, you ain’t getting all the glory here.” Syera smiled and then chuckled as she readied herself to take this Hydra on. “Funny, I was just thinking about Rainbow Dash and what she’d do in this situation.”

Twilight sighed and chuckled a little. “Really? Ooo… what would a brave pony like Rainbow Dash do?” She asked, but then went wide eyed and looked at Syera then both smirked then ran forward screaming.

“Charrrrrrrge!!!” As they ran this crazy assault, they were able to disorient the Hydra by going beneath him and above him at the same time. Twilight went under the Hydra’s feet while Syera went above as she jumped upward above their heads, causing them to trip and fall in a scorpion pose.

“Gotcha! Alright! Time to kick it up a notch! Ha!” Syera then turned Super Saiyan then grabbed the Hydra by the tail as it was disoriented.

“Twilight! Get across the chasm now! Move!” Syera shouted out to her unicorn sister as she then used most of her strength to pick up the 13 ton Hydra.

Twilight got to the edge but she gulped. “But I’ll never make it!”

“T-T-T-twilight! You have to jump!” Pinkie called out to her since it was her only chance.

“I already said I'll never make it!” Twilight said over to Pinkie.

“You'll be fine!” Pinkie retorted back with a comforting voice as her shuddering still continued.

“No! I will not!” Twilight still in fear to jump across. The hydra began to roar it's roars again as Syera picked it up most of the way.

“It's your only ho-o-ope! You have to take a leap of faith!” Pinkie said still shuddering towards the frightened Unicorn.

“Nrrrg! Come On Twilight! Jump now! What are you waiting for!” Syera screamed out as she had the Hydra by the tail in her hands but was slowly losing grip since it was so heavy.

With a gulp, the lavender Unicorn began to jump across the crumbling platforms ahead to the otherside.

“Nrg! Yes, Come on, this is it! Full Strength, Aghhhh!” Syera screamed and so did the Hydra as she then threw it off the hill as far as she could with all her might. It made it’s way in a crashdown in the bog below. Syera then said some final words before letting him go.

"So long, Gey Hydra!" Though what was funny is how she said it in an Italian like accent.

The momentum of throwing such a big creature, Syera had lost her balance and was thrown off. It made her hit the hillside with some force, making it crack, Twilight got the first platform but then it broke due to a chunk of the hillside being taking out.

Syera groaned in pain, slowly recovering from the impact, she did not know that she cracked the hill and made Twilight miss the rest platforms since it broke it.

“Oh crap! Twilight, nooooo!” Syera called out as she then snapped back to her senses and got up near the broken ledge and reached a hand out to Twilight, open palmed since she knew there wasn’t enough time to get to her.

“Y-ugh! No! Oh no! Noooo! Syera help! WA-A-A-AH! Ugh! Blegh!” Twilight hit a big air bubble below from the murky swamp water that had lots of gasses come out of it, luckily breaking her fall, it soon bursted, and it released enough air upward to launch Twilight back up to the remaining platforms, bouncing all the way across till she hit the wall on the other side.

“Yes!” Syera said with a smile and the pony's on the other side cheered in joy, as did Twilight as she smiled big with a graceful squee of happiness after shaking her dizziness away from the impact. Syera proceeded to get up off her knees and saw the Hydra was now backing off and going away as she turned to face it. Syera then joined the others across the gorge as she levitated herself over there, just slowly coasting and gliding over.

“I knew you could do it, Twilight!” Pinkie said as Syera landed in front of them.

“I was so afraid I was gonna lose you Twilight, but Pinkie’s belief in that leap of faith was spot on, I thank you Pinkie, for believing that my sister would live to fight another day.” Syera said as she, Pinkie and Twilight as well as the Applejack, Spike and Fluttershy joined together in one big hug.

Soon after the hug Twilight shared her thoughts on the matter. “I don't know how it happened; coincidence, dumb luck, or what, but Pinkie did indeed say there'd be a doozy here at Froggy Bottom Bogg, and I'd say we just had ourselves one heck of a doozy. I mean that hydra—” Before Twilight could utter another word, Pinkie started to shudder again!

“What the—!?” Syera was now awe shocked on what could it be this time.

Twilight was also concerned. “Pinkie?” she asked to see if everything is alright.

Pinkie then stopped shuddering and concluded. “That wasn't it.” with those words, everypony there had their mouths wide opened.

“Bwahhh!!?” Syera then fell over on her head. “What do you mean “that wasn’t it”!?” The bewildered Saiyan asked.

“What wasn't what now?” Spike asked confused as well. Pinkie Pie then proceeded to explain.

“The hydra wasn't the doozy.” She told which shocked the others.

“Huh!?” Twilight said with a dumbfounded look on her mug.
Applejack was just as confused then asked “What are you talking about, Pink?”

When Pinkie said that the Hydra wasn’t the doozy they were expecting, one of its heads blew a few raspberries at the group and walked away back to the bog.

Pinkie then continued after all was said and done.

“I'm still getting the shudders.” Pinkie said and then had a small burst of the shudders she mentioned. “Oo-o-oh, oo-o-oh. You see? There it is again. Whatever the doozy was at Froggy Bottom Bogg, my Pinkie Sense says it still hasn't happened, so yup it concludes that the Hydra was not the doozy, if anything more of a bonus to whatever is to come.” Pinkie finished. Syera then put a hand to her chin and thought for a moment for what could next.

“I’m not sure what to expect to happen than what happened with that Hydra, dammit...” Syera thought to herself at that moment, she was about to speak up but she noticed Twilight was cringing and having inner conflictions with herself then spoke up.

“Huh? But I— WHAT?!” She said with anger then the puzzled unicorn continued. “The hydra wasn't the doozy?! How could it not be the doozy?! What could be “doozier” than that?!” She asked Pinkie Pie, who then told her.

“Dunno, but it just wasn't it.” She said, it was then Twilight broke her limits and had enough, she started to frown really heavily, Syera sensed a lot of energy coming out from her and stood back. The sound of a kettle whistling could be heard since the inner steam of the anger bottled up in Twilight was now coming out.

“Everypony… Get behind me now!” Syera told as she stood away from her sister and next to Pinkie, Applejack and Spike, as well as Fluttershy.

Twilight Sparkle was now in full on rage mode since she jumped up and within a flash she was covered in golden red flames, her cutie mark shifted colors as well. “Rrrgh…!!!!” She growled out and after a few cracks and pops of this sudden burst of energy happened, she then dropped to the ground now near the point of passing out. “Ooh... I give up…” She groaned out.

“Give what up, Twi?” Spike asked.

“The fight. I can't fight it anymore. I don't understand how, why, or what, but Pinkie Sense somehow... makes sense.” Twilight said and Syera looked at her wide eyed.

“Wait, so after transforming into what I could guess is a pony's version of Super Saiyan from venting your anger out, you’re actually not gonna do anymore wicked spying, tests or any of the sorts since you now admit Pinkie Sense makes sense!?” Syera asked very shocked.

“Yes, I don't see how it does make sense, but it just does. Just because I don't understand doesn't mean it's not true.” Twilight admitted, she believed!

Pinkie Pie was just as shocked as her shuddering got faster and faster. “Y-Y-Y-You m-m-mean you b-b-b-believe?” She asked still shuddering as if she was gonna jump out her skin.

“Eeyup, I guess I do.” Twilight nodded her head as she layed on the ground, her head down but then made eye contact with Pinkie to confirm it. After those words were spoken truthfully, Pinkie Pie one last series of shudders, which caused her to inflate, gasp, nearly fall apart in pieces but she snapped right back into place and smiled.

“Oo-woo-oo-oo-oo, woo-oo-oo-oo-oh, woo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-ooh. Ooh! That was it. That's the doozy.” She said after her final shudders came out done and done.

Spike shook his head and mumbled out “Bbrrbbrrbbrr…”

“What? What is?” Twilight asked confused as she got help back on her hooves from Syera.

Pinkie then smiled more saying “You believing. I never expected that to happen. That was the doozy, oh and, oh what a doozy of a doozy it was! La-la-la-la-la…” She told as she trotted away carefree. As if everything before, the Hydra and stuff else, never happened…

It was then the group of who was left just looked at each other and laughed a little then continued their day soon after these events happened.

Soon later after Spike and Syera had gotten something to eat after that “Doozy” Pinkie had mentioned, they decided to chill for the rest of the day at the Library. As they approached it though, they heard some giggling from inside. As they entered, they saw Twilight and Pinkie with… Umbrella hats on?

“Oh Syera it's you and you too Spike, good, Take a letter.” She asked, as Spike took a piece of parchment and ink quill out to write down her letter.

“With pleasure, Twilight.” He said, Syera then looked over the two Ponies with confused looks, as did Spike as he took notice and not writing down Twilight’s message to the Princess on her friendship lesson.

“Dear Princess Celestia, I'm happy to report that—” She took notice of Spike’s lack of focus “Spike, what have I been saying about focus?”

Spike then shook his head and pointed “I know, but I... Well…” Spike was still bewildered and then Syera spoke up.

“I think he’s trying to ask about the whole… Umbrella hat thing, what’s up with that?” Syera asked putting a hand on her side and tilting her head confused too.

Twilight then smiled then asked. “What's wrong? Never thought you'd see me with an umbrella hat on?”

“Not really, no.” Spike said to her.

“Me neither, what for anyway?” Syera asked as she approached her and looked at it.

Twilight then pointed out “Pinkie's tail's a-twitchin'. What else can I say about it?” She and Pinkie then shared a laugh and a small smile then came across Syera’s face.

“Oh is that so? Well in that case, I’ll take one.” Syera said as she put her hand out gesturing and agreeing to the whole idea. Which is then Pinkie pulled one out and put it on the Saiyan’s head.

“Thanks Pinkie, and Twilight, please continue on that letter.” Syera said as she crossed her arms and listened to her sister’s words as Spike wrote em down.

“I am happy to report that I now realize there are wonderful things in this world you just can't explain, but that doesn't necessarily make them any less true. It just means you have to choose to believe in them, and sometimes it takes a friend to show you the way.” She said finishing up, but then Pinkie booped her nose saying.

“Honk!” Which is what Spike put down as well before the end of the letter.

“Honk.” He said chuckling.

“Always your faithful student, Twilight Sparkle” Spike put that down and went upstairs to go send it off.

In the meantime, Syera, Pinkie and Twilight went out the library to go out.

“There it goes again.” Pinkie said as her tail was now twitching away. The sudden feeling hit Syera as well, as if some of it was rubbing off on her.

“Whoa, I think mine is too Pinkie.” The saiyan pointed out.

“Really? Wow, would you look at that! My Pinkie sense might be rubbing off on you!” Pinkie told giggling.

“Maybe, just maybe Pinkie.” Syera said looking at her twitchy Saiyan tail next to Pinkie’s pink fluffy and poofy tail.

“Any idea on what's gonna drop outta the sky this time you two?” Twilight asked as she looked upward.

Pinkie Pie then smiled as she looked at Syera, as did the saiyan and they both said as they looked to the sky. “You never know.”

Spike was then about to send the letter as he opened one of the top windows and inhaled but then the sound of something falling was heard and came crashing down was Princess Celestia.

Spike then said. “Twitchy tail?” And the Princess took the letter. “Holy guacamole!”

Syera stood there with her arms crossed as she witnessed this as Pinkie and Twilight were ahead of her joking around. Princess Celestia saw her faithful student and royal warrior ahead and winked at the Saiyan as she flew off.

Syera, with her arms still crossed, she raised up two fingers at the Princess to signal a sign of peace, then smiled and walked towards Pinkie and Twilight who called her name. Asking about food. Even though Syera already ate with Spike, she could go for more.

“Are you kidding!? That’s sounds fantastic!” Syera said as she caught up with her Pink pony friend and her lavender unicorn sister. Syera then thought about what kind of “doozies” could lie ahead, and with the Grand Galloping Gala not too far off now, what’s gonna happened next?

View Online

Last Time on Syera: The Equestrian Saiyan!

The power of the Pinkie Sense was revealed when Pinkie started acting very out of place, Syera and Twilight did a few tests to figure out this power.

However, their results to try and identify this ability were… inconclusive, In addition to this investigation of Pinkie’s power, it caused them to be part of a serious turn of events. Saving their friend Fluttershy, or to the least Syera saving Twilight, Pinkie, Applejack, Fluttershy and Spike from a rampaging Hydra in Froggy Bottom Bog. Only after finding out that wasn’t the whole reason Pinkie was experiencing her rapid shudders of her Pinkie Sense, in the end Twilight could not figure out this power that Pinkie had and admitted to believing in it even though it couldn’t be proven fact by science.

Now the Saiyan and her sister along with their Ponyville friends now count down the upcoming weeks till the Gala, what’s going to happen now?!

Find out now!

Cue intro music: Do the impossible Rainbow Dash! Unleash The Sonic Rainboom!

It was a quiet day in Ponyville so far for the day, inside the Golden Oak Library, Syera and Twilight were busy reorganizing the Library’s books.

“Looks like it’s that time of the month Syera.” Twilight said excitedly, smiling brightly at her Saiyan sister who was drinking a bottle of water.

“Oh great, reorganization day huh? Alright, let’s get this over with…” Syera sounded unenthusiastic with the whole part of taking every single book off the shelf since they used to do this almost every other week back in Canterlot when they lived in the Spire near the Castle.

“Oh come on Syera it won’t take too long.” Twilight said with a giggle as she used her magic to take every single book off the shelf, including the ones in the other two rooms.

Soon after her doing that, Syera and Twilight got to work, they were about a quarter of the way done before there was a knock at the door. It was Pinkie Pie, Rarity and Applejack.

Spike opened the door for them and they came inside.

“Oh Applejack, Rarity, Pinkie Pie!” Twilight smiled at them as they came inside.

“Hey girls, what brings you over this afternoon?” Syera asked the group of friends that came in.

“Well actually I was coming here to look for a book regarding a certain dress design but… seeing as how you two happen to have every single book on the floor I think I’ll look for it later.” Rarity told as she looked around the room.

“Ooo so many books on the floor! Do you need some help? Oh and I was coming around to say hi and potentially do so by hiding behind the books till you one of you pulled one out and so on, buuuut that isn’t gonna happen!” Pinkie said with a smile, and the offer to help didn’t sound to bad.

“I came here for a similar reason to Rarity but, it doesn't involve anything with fashion, if anything ah need a new book to read at the end of the day. But hmmm, unfortunately it seems it’ll have to wait till this is all sorted. So if Pinkie’s helpin’ then I’ll help as well.” AJ put her hoof out with a zest and ready to work.

“Alright, then it's settled, you three will help us?” Syera asked as she had a stack of books in her hands and looked at them.

“But of course Syera darling, we can’t simply walk away from a mess such as this.” Rarity told her as she then used her magic to lift those stack of books out of the Saiyan’s hands.

“Alright! Let’s get to work everypony.” Twilight, Syera, Spike and with the help of Rarity, Applejack and Pinkie Pie got to work on reorganizing the library’s stock of books in chronological order.

Over the next hour, the group of friends were able to get done nearly every single book on the shelf, down the very last section. The last one was indeed a hard one to figure out, and Twilight wasn’t going to let it slide till it’s home was found. Luckily Pinkie Pie was able to find it. It was under E.

“Last one! Finally!” Syera said as she put the last book on the shelf.

“Thank you so much for helping me clean up all these books, guys. It was a crazy week of studying.” Twilight said as she spun her eyes around in all directions gesturing to how jampacked the week was for her.

“I’ll say, I had to skip two training lessons for you just so you could stay up so late.” Syera complained as she felt as if she’d get out of shape.

“Oh come now Syera, two training sessions couldn’t possibly put you out of shape, I mean look at you, you’re probably more fit than Applejack and Big Macintosh combined.” Rarity pointed out.

“Hehe, I hate to say it but I’d be lyin’ if ah didn’t but Rarity is right Syera, you are stronger than the train that runs to Appleloosa, maybe even stronger than that, maybe even stronger than a ant if were as big as my barn.” Applejack laughed as so did the others.

“Oh, thanks girls, but trust me when I say this, I maybe strong now but that doesn’t mean I won’t be satisfied with just being strong, I need to get stronger and grow even more. I know my limits, However, I need break through them because I know I can be better.” Syera looked at her hand then clenched it into a fist as she knows that this revelation of her becoming stronger is a possibility than can come true if she works and believes in it.

“Well, if that is your choice darling, I am with you in becoming better at what you do.” Rarity smiled.

“Yeah, Get stronger and stronger Syera! Just don’t… you know, pop like a balloon from overdoing it.” Pinkie said worried for her friend that she might hurt herself from focusing on too much training.

“I have ta agree with Pinkie, even though ah do let you workout on the farm, I have to be honest that you don’t have to help all the time, though I do appreciate it, might wanna tone it down a bit Syera, too much training and working out can’t be good for your body, I sure know that by heart since I like to stay fit as well.” Applejack’s words of wisdom really did touch Syera, and spoke out to her in a great ordeal. All she could do was nod in agreement to her friends’ words.

“Hmm yes perhaps you girls are right, I have been taking it pretty serious when and when I don’t train my body and mind, I guess I’ve been too worked up in my own little schedule I forgot about other things that are happening. Thanks for telling me girls, it really means a lo—” Syera paused in mid sentence as she could hear screaming coming from outside the window behind them and it was getting closer and closer. She looked outside and before she could react, she noticed a familiar Pegasus pony on a crash course towards the library.

“Everypony take cover now!” Syera said as she held her arms open after she opened the window for the incoming Rainbow Dash. Everypony in the room heeded her warning and got down on the floor, Syera was able to catch the free falling blue pegasus, however the force of her impacting her chest made her fly backwards into the wall behind her, making a big shockwave which caused all the books in the entire library to come off the shelves.

Once the dust settled in the room in the library, Syera got up slowly with a dizzy Rainbow Dash in her arms, she then put a hand to her head and groaned a little.

“Ugh… Everypony ok?” Syera asked weakly and nothing but audible groans came from Twilight, Spike, Rarity and Applejack, Pinkie seemed to be ok since she got up from the pile of books unscathed and laughed a little.

It was then soon after, Fluttershy entered through the same window Rainbow Dash did and then cheered to her brash pegasus friend with “Rainbow Dash, you rock! Woohoo.” the timid pegasus then gasped worriedly. “Did my cheering do that?”

“Nope you’re good Shy, if it did I’d think you have lungs and force of that of a dragon to make this happen with a whispering cheer such as that”
Syera chuckled but then held her chest in pain where Dash hit her.

“Oh good heavens no, I would never speak again if that were the case.” Fluttershy said in absolute terror and seriousness.

Rainbow Dash then spoke up and got out of Syera’s arms. “Hehe. Sorry about that ladies. And you too Syera, you feeling alright?” Rainbow asked and the saiyan gave a simple nod, Rainbow then sighed and spoke saying. “That was a truly feeble performance.”

Fluttershy again spoke after Rainbow Dash as she then checked in on Syera to make sure she wasn’t seriously hurt. “Actually, it wasn't all bad. I particularly liked it when you made the clouds spin.”

Rainbow Dash groaned in a bit of annoyance. “Ugh. I'm not talking about my performance, I'm talking about yours. That feeble cheering!” She told her timid friend who then looked down disappointed about whatever they are talking about.

“What are you two arguing about?” Twilight asked.

“Yeah? what seems to be the problem with you two?” Syera asked right after Twilight did, Fluttershy was a little confused and then spoke up to the matter at hand.

“Were we arguing? I'm sorry.” She apologized.

Rainbow Dash then grunted in defeat as she then spilled the beans of what was going on since Fluttershy did seem to get the question. “I wish you guys could come to Cloudsdale to see me compete in the Best Young Flyer Competition.”

“You’re entering the Best Young Flyer Competition? That’s awesome Rainbow Dash!” Syera said with a grin and her fist clenched in front of her.

Twilight on the other hand wasn’t familiar with the event and asked about it. “Best Young Flyer Competition? What's that?”

Pinkie Pie then got up out of the pile of books she was in and explained to Twilight what it was. “It's where all the greatest Pegasus flyers get together and show off their different flying styles! Some are fast!” Pinkie told as she tried imitating some of the moves a Pegasus would do only to crash into more bookshelves in the process. “And some are graceful. Whoa, whoa, whoa!” She explained showing how amazing it would be to see the Pegasus ponies from all over to show off their moves.

“Golly.” Applejack said as she was now interested in seeing it. “I'd love to see you strut yer stuff in that competition.”

Rainbow Dash then spoke up but reminded them of one key factor. “Yeah. I wish you guys could be there but you can’t exactly fly there, well I know Syera can cause she is awesome just like you all are but still… I wish you all were capable of going. I mean don’t get me wrong, Fluttershy's a great support, but her cheering isn't exactly inspirational.” Rainbow explained.

Pinkie Pie then said something that really caught everyone’s attention in the room. “Ooh! I'd love to see you make a sonic rainboom! It's like, the most coolest thing ever! Even though I've never actually seen it, but I mean come on! It's a sonic rainboom! How not cool could it possibly not be?!”

Twilight then asked the big question. “What's a sonic rainboom?”

Pinkie Pie then got in her face. “You really need to get out more. The sonic rainboom is legendary! When a Pegasus like Rainbow Dash gets going sooo fast... Boom! A sonic boom and a rainbow can happen all at once!”

“This trick sounds like it takes a lot of Flight Power, Speed and Stamina to do, because the “boom” sound I’m guessing is when said Pegasus doing the Sonic Rainboom is not only going fast, they’re going so fast they break the sound barrier.” Syera said and Twilight seemed to agree with her hypothesis on the matter.

“Yes it seems like it, and wow to think such a move really exists.” Twilight said amazed.

Applejack seemed confident in her Rainbow haired friend since she was certain Dash can do it again. “And Rainbow Dash here's the only pony to ever pull it off!”

Rainbow Dash looked away nervously with a blush across her face and said that “It was a long time ago... I was just a filly.”

“Really, at such a young age you pulled that stunt off?” Syera asked and Rainbow Dash replied with a nod and confident smirk.

Pinkie Pie was confident that Dash could do the Sonic Rainboom as well. “Yeah, but you're gonna do it again, right?”

Rainbow Dash hesitated for a moment but then said. “Are... you kidding? I'm the greatest flyer to ever come out of Cloudsdale! I could do sonic rainbooms in my sleep.”

Twilight smiled as she then told Dash “Wow. If you pull that off, you'll win the crown for sure!”

“Oh yeah, You’d easily crush the competition to the point they’d piss themselves right on the spot from how awesome you are Rainbow Dash.” Syera exaggeratedly told as she and Rainbow Dash both laughed and gave each other a high hoof.

Rainbow Dash then smiled and told them the prize of the event. “The grand prize is spending an entire day with the Wonderbolts. A whole day of flying with my lifelong heroes... It'll be a dream come true!”

“I sure hope that dream comes true Dashie.” Syera said crossing her arms and smiling as she stood next to Twilight.

“As do I Rainbow Dash, and don’t worry, we’ll find a way to come to Cloudsdale and support you.” Twilight promised Rainbow Dash.

Fluttershy then smiled and said “Yay.”

Rainbow then hopped over to the window and was about to hop out it, however she said a few words before she left. “I'm gonna go rest up. Don't wanna over prepare myself, y'know.” Then she pointed a hoof at Fluttershy looking her in the eye and said “You, on the other hand, better keep practicing. I need a cheering section to match my spectacular performance.”

Fluttershy then nodded and looked at the direction Rainbow Dash flew too then back at the group of friends. “She's practiced that move a hundred times, and she's never even come close to doing it. I don't know if I can cheer loud enough to help her.” She sighed worriedly.

Twilight then noticed the mess and said “Well, guess we better get this cleaned up... again.” But before they made another move, Rarity then told her.

“Go on, go on.” This confused the lavender unicorn and she tilted her head.

“Go on what?” Twilight asked.

“Find a spell that you promised to Rainbow Dash that will get us wingless ponies into Cloudsdale. Didn't you see how nervous she was?” She told and Applejack looked at her then said.

“Nervous? Have you spit yer bit or somethin'? She was tootin' her own horn louder than the brass section of a marching band!”

Rarity then scoffed a little then looked at the orange earth pony then said. “Oh, puh-lease. I have put on enough fashion shows to recognize stage fright when I see it.”

“Hate to say it but… I think Rarity is right Applejack, Rainbow Dash definitely needs us up there in Cloudsdale cheering her on tomorrow.” Syera said as she pointed in the direction out the window of where Cloudsdale is with her other hand on her side.

“We've got to find a way to be there for her. Now go on!” Rarity said as she gave Twilight the good ol’ Manehattan shove to find a book with a flight spell.

Twilight gasped and screamed a little as she fell into a pile of books making even more of a mess. “Owaa! Ugh. How am I supposed to find a flight spell in this mess?”

Pinkie Pie then chimed in when she heard “Flight Spell” and uttered out. “A flight spell? One sec. Page twenty-seven.” She said after she dug through some books and gave Twilight the book she found.

Applejack was dumbfounded and asked. “How'd you do that?”

Pinkie giggled and said “It landed on my face when Rainbow Dash knocked me into the bookcase.”

“Heh, What a coincidence.” Syera pointed out as they waited for Twilight to find the spell.

Which she did not too much longer as she got to page twenty-seven of the book. “Here it is! A spell that will allow Earth ponies to fly for three days. Ooh, it looks really difficult... I'm not sure I can do it.” Twilight told nervous she probably couldn’t do it. Syera then peaked into the book and skimmed over the spell really quickly and became astounded from how complex this spell really is.

“Hmm… I think I might be able to help you with it, and you're right on point like Applejack's Sweet Apple Acres Reserves, it does look pretty complicated.” Syera said as she then put her hands together and concentrated. Soon a soft golden aura surrounded bother her hands.

Rarity then pleaded to the two of them. “You've got to try!”

Twilight nodded in defeat. “Okay, Okay... and thanks Syera, But the better question here is... who's gonna volunteer to be the test subject?”

Syera then waited as did Twilight. “Yeah, who’s the unlucky victim here girls?” Syera asked, and as she did, Rarity stepped up.

“I will! For Rainbow Dash, I will go first.” Rarity said with such glamour and confidence as her generous spirit was ready to support Rainbow Dash any way she could.
Twilight and Syera looker at each other then both said. “Alright, Here it goes!”

Syera extended her arms out and bent her knees in a horse stance as she did the magic from her fingertips as Twilight widened her stance and her horn glowed the velvety purple it usually does but now it was more intense.

“Nrggg…. agh!” Both of them grunted out as they worked hard on the spell, an aura of light soon wrapped itself around Rarity and levitated her off the ground, and within a few seconds later, a flash of light was shown across the room. Everypony looked away for the moment then back at Syera and Twilight who were panting since the spell was complete.

Applejack, Pinkie, & Spike gasped in amazement of such a thing.

Twilight then sighed in success. “I think it worked!”

Syera then looked up at Rarity and saw the spell did indeed work. “Phew, yup indeed and my oh my that takes a lot outta you, I think we need a different and easier spell for the rest of us.”

“Quick! I need a mirror, how do I look?” Rarity Requested, Spike did as she asked since he practically was all googly eyed and drooling over the beauty of the spell.

Once the Mirror came into view, Rarity gasped and saw that she now had Wings! But they were not of a Pegasus, they were shaped in the form of a Butterfly.

“Oh these wings are simply devine! Oh for perfection in beauty, these get an A+!” Rarity said as she adored her Butterfly Wings, they were see through to a point and they adorned the colors of Magenta, Purple, Sky Blue, Green and Yellow.

“Hmph… Indeed an A+, now… time to find that easier spell.” Syera asked as she wiped a bit of sweat off her brow then looked at Twilight but then Pinkie spoke out before the Lavender unicorn could.

“Ooo! Turn to page nineteen in the same book, there should be an easier spell there.” The Pink Pony instructed and so Twilight did and found it in the bottom of page nineteen.

“Wait Pinkie, how did you know this spell was in here too?” Syera asked.

“I had time to skim through it as it landed on my face.” She said as again smiling with a squee.

“Kinda wish you said something about it before, cause that last one was a doozy.” Syera said as she stretched and cracked her knuckles as she then looked out the window to see what was going on outside.

“Ah! Yes here it is, and yes this one is pretty basic, I think I should be able to do this one on my own Syera.” Twilight told her saiyan sister.

“Oh? What kind of flight spell is it?” Syera asked as she looked at the book.

“Not exactly a flight spell but it's more of a that makes you a cloud walker, which is self explanatory as the spell allows you to walk on clouds, it's much easier to pull off.” Twilight explained.

“Ahh, I see yeah this one sounds much easier.” Syera said in agreement.

“But I won’t cast it yet, I’ll cast it tomorrow before we head to Cloudsdale in the early afternoon. Plus I’m kinda pooped from that spell we did on Rarity.” Twilight explained.

“Alrighty then, I guess we’ll all meet up near your balloon and head on up to Cloudsdale tomorrow early afternoon.” Applejack nodded in agreement to the plan.

“Yes! We will head to Cloudsdale and cheer for Rainbow Dash!” Rarity also agreeing to the plan, she was still smiling as she then looked at herself again in the mirror still giggling and adoring her wings.

“Wee! I can’t wait!” Pinkie Pie agreed last and could barely contain her excitement.

Soon later as the group got the Library cleaned up… Again. They each were able to get on with their lives in Ponyville, each excited for the Best Young Flyers Competition to cheer their best friend Rainbow Dash to victory, and maybe get to see her do a Sonic Rainboom.

Throughout the day as it turned to night, Syera could not fathom the possibility of the potential speed and power that is required to do a Sonic Rainboom as found a few books on the topic. And If she can do something similar by going around the same speed or higher, then it could show that not only can she master such an ability; However she could potentially tell those of Equestria that anything other than a Pegasus pony can do it, so long as they possess the ability of flight on the contrary of the subject.

“I wonder…” She said to herself but she released how late it was getting as she sat on the balcony at the library.

“Hmm, Luna, looks like you’re getting better and better at making Nighttime more peaceful.” Syera thought to herself as she stared at the moon for a moment. However when she was under the cover of the moonlight, she seemed… odd, even though she can’t turn into that rampaging monster, she could feel a slight tingle in her tail area, kinda like when Pinkie has a sudden twitch due to her pinkie sense.

“Hmm… I guess I got time, let me fly up there…” Syera then jumped high off the balcony and slowly flew her way up high in the sky to where she was facing it clear as day. It was easily above the clouds where she was, her eyes reflecting the moonlight. She clenched her hands into fists at that moment and then concentrated.

She let her body draw in energy that was needed to power up, a soft but faint blue aura formed around her, her body tensed up a little, her eyes closed as she focused more letting her body absorb the essence coming from the Moonlight.

She kept thinking to herself. “Let my mind and body become separate, let my body think on its own and my mind attach elsewhere…”

“Mmmm….” She grunted out as she focused hard and long on herself and let the calm light of the moon shine on her. It was then she was able to see a symbol in her mind, it was consisting of seven stars similar to her Element of Harmony, she let that symbol brace into her mind and body.

“Nrg~ Haaa!” It was then within a blink of an eye she was curled up into a ball and then extended her limbs, an outburst of power overcame her and she was now Super Saiyan. Only thing different was that her tail was now a Golden Color similar to how her tail is.

“Whoa… that’s new…” She said to herself as she looked at her tail and flicked it. She then tried some basic combos to see how fast she could throw a few kicks and punches.

“Well would you look at that, I think I feel more at grasp while in this form, but the full moon… could this be the source of power I feel at nighttime? It has to be.” It was then she felt a yawn overcome her speech near the of end of her speaking. However, this possible fact ran through her train of thought, about her being able to draw energy from the Moon without her transforming.

“I better get to bed and worry about this another time…” The saiyan slowly descended upon Ponyville below after her encounter with dealing with the Moonlight. As she landed in the balcony and turned around to head inside, she noticed Twilight was waiting for her.

“Syera where were you? I was calling your name and everything, you had me worried.” Twilight told her saiyan sister as she trotted towards her since Syera had the look on her face as if she just experienced something new. “Uh.. you ok? You seem like something is on your mind?”

Syera then kneeled down in front of her and spoke. “Yeah sorry to worry you Sis, I was just meditating and I decided to go for a midnight stroll high above is all.”

Twilight then was surprised. “Really? That’s new from you since you are usually asleep at this time, but I won’t lie, it has been a rather interesting day for all of us since now we're going up to Cloudsdale to cheer on Rainbow Dash tomorrow. And I can’t wait to see her moves, I bet you can’t wait either can you?”

Syera nodded in agreement to that. “Yes, to be honest if I were a Pegasus I’d probably compete as well but I’d rather not since I don’t wanna crank down RD’s style ya know?” The two shared a hearty laugh then headed inside for the rest of the night and got to bed.

With giving each other a goodnight, sleep soon took over their will throughout the calm and peaceful moonlit-night in Ponyville.

However, little to the Saiyan’s knowledge that her dreams were going to have an unexpected turn of events. The Saiyan awoke, eyes open as she rose outta bed, she noticed she had her Gi on though instead of being the normal colors it usually is, it was all white.

“Hmm… this is unusual… Princess Luna? you around?” Syera asked as she looked around, only to not get a response, soon the landscape around her turned into what looked like an entrance to a maze.

“Wait… I know this place, the royal garden maze in Canterlot… I used to do jogging exercise throughout here for hours… But why am I here?” Syera had a bewildered look on her face, but shrugged off the feeling of oddness of something fishy going on and just decided to walk into the maze, there were a few twists and turns here and there. But eventually she came to one of the clearings that were inside the maze.

Oddly enough she ended up in the 7th one inside the maze, there were a total of 7 clearings in the maze entirely, the 7th happened to be smack down in the middle.

“Huh? the center, why here?” She shrugged and gestured her arms out to the sides of her then places both of her hands firmly on her sides. Syera looked around for a moment and shrugged once more and was about to fly up and out of the maze but something weighed her down as she tried to leave.

“What the whoa!” It was then she landed hard on her hands and her feet, her tail flicked in response to this sudden change. “Is this some kind of joke or do I really feel heavy…” Syera gritted her teeth as she tried to stand up, but when she did she realized what she was standing in front of, a stone statue of some sort of creature of unknown origin to her.

“W-what… is that?” Weird thing is that it appeared to be laughing hysterical joy, it was consisted of having various animal parts, it looked like a goat and donkey that was mixed with a dragon and pegasus, as well as a griffon and some bird like features. It had a snag tooth as well as a goatee’ similar to what an old goat would have and it's backside of its hair seemed to be that of a donkey as mentioned though it seemed like a Pony mostly just mixed with all these creatures and characteristics.

Syera however could not shake the feeling that something about this thing just screamed… Disharmony and utter chaos.

“A Draconequus?” the Saiyan uttered out and this caused the figure to change from stone to real flesh and blood as it let out a hearty laugh.

“Correct!” It shouted out as it stretched and cracked its limbs and bones and snapped it fingers a few times.

“Agh!?” Syera was shocked when this creature snapped its fingers since it turned her current clothing into what looked like a bunny suit with stockings that made her look like she worked at some perverted anime café, she had the Bunny ears and all.

“What the hell is this?!” Syera screamed in shock and covered herself up.

“Oh sorry was that directed at you dear, funny I thought you’d look great in a bunny suit, but strange, you didn’t turn into a bunny… What are you?” The creature stepped off its stone podium and slithered its way around the Saiyan and examined her.

“Oh no! don’t tell me, you’re not the Saiyan that Princess Celestia and those other fools trained to become almighty and powerful to defeat the likes of me and others to come now did she?” The question of the Draconequus was dead on the spot, Syera’s utter expression was a dumbfounded one as she couldn’t find the words, and the creature then laughed wholeheartedly.

“Well it seems I hit the Nail right on the coffin!” He said as he then used a mallet to hit a nail on a coffin that appeared right from his magic and then disappeared as quickly as it showed up.

“Ok that’s enough! You seem to know a lot about me… how? And who are you?” Syera summoned the strength to back away from this freak of nature by turning Super Saiyan and get in a fighting stance, which looked very funny considering she is in a gimpy sexy bunny outfit, as well as the blue tie she had on with it. It also exposed a lot of her skin and broad structure of muscle and tone fitness.

It was then the Draconequus smirked and just shrugged saying “Alright alright, if you must know who I am, then I shall tell you. But of course saying my name would be redundant since my name is obviously in my little display so why don’t you have a look.” The creature gestured with his arm and claw hand as he moved out the way for Syera to walk to the stone display which dawned the creature’s name.

The saiyan then leaned in close and saw the creature’s name, however when she did lean in close, a sudden flash came out of nowhere with what sounded like a shudder sound of a camera. Syera then turned around and looked at the creature.

“Did you just~!?” Then another flash was shown from the camera that this creature had, and he had two pictures in hand with the front and backside of the Saiyan in the bunny suit.

“You better destroy those…” Syera said with a bit of anger since she did not appreciate her picture being taken especially in the gimpy attire she was in as of now.

“Alright, Alright, you are no fun you know that.” The Draconequus crossed his arms as he made the pictures and camera disappear, Syera rolled her eyes in response and then looked at the creature's name on the stone display.

“Di-s-cord? Discord? Is that right?” Syera asked as she pointed to the name and looked the creature in the eyes and he nodded.

“Sure is, but don’t say it thrice since that is used to call to me and usually I do some serious wacky stuff if you know what I mean?” Discord laughed a little at his ridiculous joke that Syera was not laughing at.

“Ok seriously, cut the crap. What do you want from me?” Syera asked cold heartedly as she crossed her arms, covering her chest since she did not like having her body exposed this much.

Discord then looked at her after having his laugh. “Oh nothing, I just want you to know that my appearance in Equestria is imminent and that this is only a taste of my power, so without further ado, I must bid you a farewell for now, Syera is it? Yes, good, farewell.” And with a snap of his fingers he was gone within a flash and Syera woke up with a thud since she fell out of her bed.

“Agh! Oof~ Nrrg… what a wake up call…” Syera said as she rubbed her head, she noticed she wasn’t in that bunny suit and in her pajamas which consisted of her underwear and a tank top shirt, thank Celestia.

Though she wondered what that dream was about who the hell is Discord and what does he want with Equestria and how does he know about her? Whatever it was he wants though, it could not be good. She then noticed it was morning now, about 10am at the very least, she then got up on her feet since the sun was directly in her eyes, she walked over to the mirror to get a look at herself, then out of the corner of her mirror, she noticed two Photographs, they were of her in the bunny suit! The same one’s Discord had taken.

“What the hell?! How did these get here?!” She thought to herself as she took them in hand, she examined them and noticed a signature in the back of them that said “Discord” in cursive.

It was then Twilight came in the room worried. “You ok in here sis, it sounded like you fell out the bed. Have a bad dream?” the lavender unicorn asked as she walked to the saiyan and tapped her leg.

“Ah!? Oh it's you Twilight” Syera said as she had her hand on her chest and took a breather as she relaxed.

“‘Its you Twilight’? Well that’s a new one coming from you Syera, well anyway I hope you’re ok cause we have to leave soon, get ready” Twilight told as she walked to the door, opened it and trotted out giving her sister privacy to get ready.

“Right the thing with Rainbow Dash, I’ll be ready after I grab a quick shower!” Syera told as she then took a second look at the photo of her in that ridiculous bunny suit… Giving it one last frown as she gazed at it, she tossed it on her dresser and then proceeded to the bathroom to grab a shower as she foretold to Twilight.

Ten to fifteen minutes later she came out with a towel around her body and her hair, soon going back into her room and getting dressed and ready. However when she did, as she opened her closet, she saw something familiar.

“What!? Not… Possible…” Syera went wide eyed as her closet had the bunny suit that she had on in the dream along with the multiple Gi’s she has gotten from King Kai along with her other clothes. “Ok now I think I’m starting to lose it… But I’ll deal with it later, now is the time to get ready and cheer on my friend.” Syera grabbed one of the Gis, putting it on after she took the towel off her body and put a sports bra and underwear on. She took the towel off her head as well, letting her two bangs fall in front of her face as she shook her head as some water came out of her hair as it was shaking back and forth as well as side to side.

“Mm… looking as silky and wild as usual, just the way I like it.” The saiyan said to herself as she looked herself in the mirror then soon walked out of her bedroom down the stairs.

“Ah there you are Syera, you ready to go?” Twilight asked with a smile.

“Yeah, I’m good to go. Hey, where’s Spike? Isn’t he coming around?” Syera looked around with a hand on her hip as she saw the baby dragon was nowhere to be seen.

“Oh, he said that he had a personal project to work on and wanted to stay here to work on it.” Twilight explained.

“Hmm… alright.” Syera said as she then walked to the door and opened it. “Anyway, should we get going?” She then looked back at her unicorn sister with a smile.

“Yes, and let’s meet up with the others so I can perform the cloud walker spell.” Twilight and Syera then left the library and met up with their friends at the air balloon on the edge of Ponyville.

“Alright everypony, group up together so I can perform the spell.” Twilight told everypony to do so, except for Rarity since she already had a way of getting being able to traverse Cloudsdale without falling through clouds.

So the group of friends piled around Syera and Twilight performed the cloud walker spell. Within a flash the spell was casted.

“Wee! Did it work?!” Pinkie as with cheer.

“Well… I’m pretty sure it did, but to confirm we have to walk on a cloud.” Twilight explained.

“Hmm… wait right here, I think I should be able to grab one if we can walk on them, I’ll be right back.” Syera then hopped into the air and was able to find a puffy cloud and grab hold of it. Then she brought it down near the ground so Pinkie, Twilight as well as Applejack could try it out.

“it seems to work with me since when I usually grab clouds, they just poof away into water vapor.” Syera explained as she out the fairly good sized cloud near the ground.

Applejack was first to volunteer to test the cloud out. “Alright, here I go.” The farm pony then tapped the cloud with her hoof and then put both from hooves onto it and stepped on it, it seemed to hold her steady on it.

“Well I’ll be, would ya’ll look at that! I’m walking on a cloud, haha~” Applejack was in disbelieve but was amazed to see the spell actually worked.

“Yes, it seems to be a complete success.” Twilight smiled in joy as she was next to try it out.

“Wee! Bouncy this cloud is and so puffy!” Pinkie bounced on the cloud a little before proceeding to hug it.

“Mm… indeed success~” Syera said as she then did a handstand on it after pinkie got off the cloud then short hopped up on her feet on the cloud. “Well we know it works, shall we get going?”

“Yeah!” Everypony cheered with a smile as they all got on the hot air balloon. Everypony boarded except Rarity and Syera since they could fly, and they both unhooked the balloon from the ground and soon lifted off.

“Alright, hold onto your butts everypony, next stop is Cloudsdale!” Syera pointed to the direction of the city of clouds which would take them at least a half an hour to get there from their current position and time.

“I’m hoping Rainbow Dash is alright, it might be a lotta pressure she since you know how she is when striding for first place and how much winning is to her.” Applejack said as they enjoyed the ride to Cloudsdale.

“Oh I’m sure she’s alright Applejack, I mean come on, Rainbow Dash will be the best in the Young flyers’ competition for sure!” Rarity seemed so certain of her friend that it made sure that their friend would indefinitely.

“I hope your right Rarity, for Rainbow Dash’s sake.” Twilight said as she looked to the horizon ahead.

“Are you kidding Twilight? Of course Rainbow Dash is gonna win! The Sonic Rainboom is a doozy of a trick which is why Rainbow Dash is gonna do it! Even though it is said to be the impossible, I know Dashie’s got it in her!” Pinkie was just as assured as Rarity was in how Rainbow would indeed win. But only time would tell once they get there and how everything fairs out.

“Well more importantly besides winning girls, is the fact that she had fun strutting her moves.” Syera explained with a smile as she hung on the side of the balloon basket as it carried them to their destination.

“Oh by far indeed Darling, cause such an event isn’t just about having to win but to have fun as well!” Rarity agreed with Syera all the way. Though their conversation was cut short as now they were now close to their destination.

“There it is! Cloudsdale is dead ahead! And look, there's Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash!” Pinkie said pointing a hoof at them.

“Ahh~ Alright, let’s go give em a surprise greeting shall we?” Syera said smirking a little.

“Ah yes darling, I shall be the first to greet them while you follow right behind me.” Rarity then graciously flew towards their two pegasus friends while Syera then steered the balloon right below them so they’d rise up right in front of them.

Fluttershy and Rainbow seemed to be having a conversation, by the looks of it, Dashie seemed distressed about something. However, Rarity seemed to be the one to catch their attention, Fluttershy was first to notice.

Fluttershy looked up with her mouth agaped a little and said. “Rare…”

Rainbow Dash then looked at her with a dumbfounded look and said “Rare?! The sonic rainboom is way more than rare!”

Fluttershy then spoke again but was now more clear of what she was looking at. “Rarity?”

Rainbow Dash then looked back at what Fluttershy said and gasped since it was indeed. “Rarity! Are you... flying?!”

Rarity just smiled elegantly as she flapped her wings and looked down at the two pegasi. “I most certainly am! Aren't my wings smashing?! Twilight made them for me. I just adore them! Why so shocked? We couldn't leave our favorite flyer without a big cheering section!” This confused Rainbow Dash when she said

"’We?’” That was the cue to when the air balloon with Applejack, Pinkie Pie and Twilight Sparkle as well as Syera rose out of the clouds with ease. It was then Syera tied it down to a nearby post so it stay.

“I... I can't believe it!” Rainbow said in shock and happiness that her friends were able to arrive.

“It's incredible!” Fluttershy added the Rainbow continued.

“I know! This is so cool that you guys made it!”

Pinkie Pie giggled as she looked at her friend and said “Sure did!” then she hopped off the balloon but this scared Rainbow.

“Wait!” She screamed but before she could say anything else, Pinkie landed on the cloudy surface with ease and was able to walk on it.

“How'd you do that? Only Pegasus ponies can walk on clouds.” Rainbow explained though Twilight was the first to speak up.

“I found a spell that allowed pony's like us to achieve the ability of flight, however it was too difficult to cast more than once…” Twilight told then Syera spoke up next.

“So to make up for such a spell, we found an easier one called “Cloudwalker” which allows myself as well as the others the walk on clouds for a total of 24 hours. So we’ll be able to cheer you on for the day at the Young flyers competition Dashie!” Syera said smiling and jumped a little in excitement as she then did a few finger stands and push ups on the cloudy surface.

“That’s right, we’ve came to cheer you to victory!” Applejack chimed in as she walked next to Rainbow Dash and put a hoof on her shoulder. Rainbow seemed tense for a moment but then spoke up.

“To be honest, I was starting to get just the teeniest, tiniest bit nervous. But I feel a lot better now that you guys are here. But hey, we've got some time before the competition. Why don't Fluttershy and I show you around Cloudsdale?” The blue pegasus offered to the gang.

“Yes!” they all spoke up with a smile and was ready to follow their friend’s lead around the metropolis which is known as Cloudsdale.

“Here it is: the greatest city in the sky!” Rainbow told as they walked through the city streets or… rather cloud streets of the city of clouds. Of course seeing how the way of things were done up here was intriguing and yet… different, but in a good way.

“Oooh! Aaah!” The group of friends said as they walked and saw the sights.
Rarity however seemed to be observing her wings more than the sights of the place.

“Oooh! Aaah!” she would say as she got a good look of her wings every chance she saw them as she flew with the group.

“Uhh… yeah… So anyway, some of the greatest Pegasi in history came from Cloudsdale!” Rainbow went on with the tour, Rarity however was beginning to get left behind since she wasn't staying close.

“Oh yeah? Could you name some of them for us Rainbow?” Twilight asked intrigued for the fact of knowledge was coming around.

“Oh, wait for me!” Rarity shouted out as she rushed quickly back to us, though she seemed to be catching other pegasus ponies’ attention with her appearance, such as this one construction pegasus dude with a jackhammer, which is odd since clouds aren’t really hard to break through, must work differently in Cloudsdale. However he dropped it below the clouds and the shouted over to Rarity saying

“Those wings are gorgeous ma’am!” Then he proceeded to get his jackhammer back before it fell down even farther to the ground below.

“Why, thank you!” Rarity shouted back in appraisal and thankfulness to the kind comment.
Twilight and Syera however were getting worried that their friend might do something drastic with her new found wings.

“Be careful with those wings, Rarity. They're made from gossamer and morning dew, and they're incredibly delicate.” Twilight warned and gave caution to Rarity to not do anything to drastic with her delicate wings.

“Don't worry, Twilight. I'm sure they can't get worn out from too much attention.” Rarity retorted back as if it were not too much of a big deal.

“Um Rarity I think you’re missing the point here, try not to cause too much attention or make a scene that could potentially embarrass all of us.” Syera told as she then flew next to Rarity with her arms crossed.

“Oh don’t worry Syera darling, I won’t make a fool out of myself so please calm yourself, everything is fine right?” Rarity said as she then patted Syera on the crown, which caught the Saiyan by surprise that she’d do such a thing.

Applejack however was able to clear it up after she asked Rainbow this.

“Since we're up here, I'd sure like to get a look at where the weather's made. If that’s ok with you to show us Rainbow Dash?” Rainbow then looked at her with a smile and nodded in agreement.

“Great idea! C'mon, girls. To the weather factory!” Soon the group then rushed to the Weather factory eager to see how the elements of the weather are put together and produced. With the sound of thunder and lightning flashing as they approached, they knew this event would be one in a lifetime thing to experience.

Rainbow then put on a white work suit and helmet as well as the other ponies for precautions in case an accident happened. For Syera however, she had to just wear a work helmet since they did not have a work uniform for her. Twilight on the other hand had a solution and used a spell to turn her outfit all white for this occasion so she fit the criteria of the onsight staff working here.

“Ooo… not bad, thanks Twilight.” Syera thanked the lavender unicorn and she nodded with a smile saying.

“Anytime sis, now let’s get going on this tour.” She and Syera then caught up with the others to see the factory and its secrets of creating weather.

“This is where they make the snowflakes. Each one is hoofmade. As you can see, it's a delicate operation.” Rainbow told as the gang then got a close look at how each Snowflake there was amazing original and each one was not similar to the other. However Rarity with her wings kinda made them blow away.

“Ooh, the snowflakes look even better from up here.” She said as her wings created an updraft making them fly in air for a brief moment. This caused the workers to get a little angry and run quickly to catch the snowflakes before they fall on the ground.

“Ugh… nice one Rarity, nice one.” Syera said crossing her arms, this caused the nimble yet elegant unicorn to come down to ground level.

“Um… We better move on before Rarity ruins winter and causes a drought.” Rainbow suggested so the Saiyan and pony's had maked like tree and leaved the area before such a thing of what the blue pegasus mentioned could become a reality.

The next area of the factory they entered didn’t involve making anything snow related, though instead something much more colorful.

“And here's where they make the rainbows!” Rainbow showed as they walked by these vats that the worker pegasi ponies were brewing up the color batches they know as rainbows. Pinkie Pie however on the other hand thought it was a good idea to dip her hoof in one of them and taste it. And man… her face lit up so many colors of the Rainbow, it was funny but the effect of was least to say…

“Spicyyyyyy!...” Pinkie said as she ran quickly to find some water.

Applejack had a bit of laugh while Syera just shook her head chuckling a little as well.

“Yeah, rainbows aren't really known for their flavor.” Rainbow remarked, Syera however got close to one of the vats as well and took a whiff of it in her nostrils and pulled away quickly holding her nose.

“Oof~ Yeah and I suppose their smell isn’t very well known either cause sheesh, that smells like burnt plastic.” The saiyan referred the smell of a rainbow too.

“Yeah… well they do add a compound which makes it smell nice since usually one appears after it rains and the smell then is way better.” Rainbow explained.

Their attention about rainbows was suddenly pulled away when Rarity caught the attention of some of the Pegasus ponies working in that section with her wings.

“Whoa! Oh, where'd you get those amazing wings? I want a pair!” One of them said.

“Hmm... Yeah, I guess I could see that.” Rarity however seemed to be talking to some ponies that Rainbow Dash had happen to have known for some time.

“Oh, hey look, it's Rainbow Crash again!” One same one spoke out. Though Syera did not like the name they gave her friend.

“Heheheyeah! Rainbow... Umm... Eyah... Crash!” The other said with a ridiculous laugh.

“Rarity! What're you doing talking to these guys?” Rainbow asked in anger since she did not like those guys one bit.

“Oh, they were just admiring my wings, Rainbow Dash.” Rarity said with a smile.

“Yeah, you should forget the sonic rainboom and just get yourself some wings like these!” The first one said and they all laughed. These three pair were obviously bullies and Syera did not like this one bit and stepped in.

“Rainbow Dash does not need hoity toity wings as these to make herself a better flyer because I know for a fact she is a better flyer than any of you! And I bet she can prove it anytime anywhere because she can do the Sonic Rainboom. You’ll see you bullies!” Syera then twacked one on the nose and her flew back quite far on his flank and they took off running.

“Oohh… You didn’t have to do that Syera but thank you…” Rainbow said softly as she layed on the ground with her hooves tucked in.

“Come on Rainbow Dash, don’t listen to those low life bullies, why you may ask? Because you’re better than them and I’ve seen enough to know so.” Syera told

“Syera’s right you know. Don't listen to them. You're gonna win that competition for sure!” Fluttershy added but it didn’t seem to help much.

“Are you kidding? I can't do the sonic rainboom, and just look at these boring, plain old feathered wings. I'm doomed!” Rainbow said as she got even more depressed and stressed out.

“You know that is not true, your wings define who you are as a Pegasus pony Dash, and you know what, you’d be doomed if you couldn’t fly, but you can and I know you can do it. Just believe in yourself.” Syera told as she was on one knee next to her friend and had a hand on her back, lightly stroking it in reassurance. However before she could say more, more of the workers in the factory were now awestruck by Rarity’s wings…

“What, these old things? Go ahead, everypony. Photos are encouraged.” Rarity said as she struck a few poses with her wings as she lightly hovered over the crowd of ponies

“Rarity stop please, we're supposed to be helping Rainbow Dash relax, remember? Put your wings away and stop showing off!” Twilight ordered her unicorn friend to stop what she was doing so they could all help their friend who desperately needed moral support. Rarity’s retort was… the least unhelpful.

“Oh, pfft. How can you ask me to put away perfection?” She said as she flew a little higher near a opening of the sky above where the sun shined brightly on her wings, making them glimmer and radiant brightly with beautiful color.

“Waa-haa-haa!” Rarity shrieked as she noticed the beautiful factor glimmering brightly that everypony was so surprised about too.

Twilight then looked over at Rainbow Dash and asked.

“Are you okay? You don't look so good.” The blue pegasus then smiled a little as she looked at the worried lavender unicorn and said.

“Of course! Why wouldn't I be okay? Everyone's so in love with Rarity's wings that they won't even notice when I totally blow it in the Best Young Flyer's Competition.” Rainbow Dash was in utter ruin, she could only lay there in complete and utter turmoil. Syera kneeled down towards her and placed a hand on her backside and patted lightly.

“Come now Rainbow Dash, you know that is not true, besides, why would Rarity of all ponies want to enter such a competition?” Syera said laughing a little but all of a sudden she heard another one of the work pony's say this.

“Hey! There's an idea! YOU should enter the competition!” Syera facepalmed at this and murmured something along the lines “Oh no”

To make it even worse, another even gave Rarity more encouragement.

“Yeah! I could watch you fly all day long!” They said, Rarity obviously took this confidence into effect.

“There really isn't anypony who uses their wings quite like me. Perhaps I should compete.” Rarity said with a smile.

“WHAT?!” Rainbow Dash and Syera both shouted in complete and utter shock. Rainbow Dash seemed to be taking it in the most as most of the workers continued awe-ing at Rarity and her special wings.

“What am I gonna DO?! I'll never win the competition now…” Rainbow Dash spoke to herself in such a way that made her go deep into depression. Syera could only do so much to get Rainbow Dash to not back out of the competition due to all the attention Rarity is getting.

Soon much later the competition began, it seemed Syera was with Rainbow Dash to help keep her cool and confidence even though Rarity is now in the competition. Luckily Rarity would not do her turn till much later since she was putting a whole bunch of Makeup that was obviously not necessary but she dressed to impress. Though Syera kept facepalming at the idea so much it left a red mark on her head.

“Uhh... What am I gonna do?” Rainbow had curled herself in the corner.

“Rainbow Dash look at me.” Syera got down again on one knee and she made Rainbow Dash look her eye to eye.

“Don’t you see, it doesn't matter if you are competing against Rarity or anypony else, the most important fact is…” Syera was then cut off by Rainbow Dash as she said

“Winning!?” She smiled kinda big and had worry in her face. But Syera nodded no and then said.

“Its having fun and being careful. Just remember that Rainbow Dash and you’ll be fine.” Syera said smiling as she stood Rainbow Dash on her hooves. And with that they looked at each other and smiled.

“You’re right, I’ll do my best and try to have fun without thinking about everypony else and their moves and thoughts. Especially those three lunk heads that always gave me a hard time.” Rainbow Dash said with a bit of a frown and dry tone. But she put on a smile for Syera.

“Alright, break a leg and be careful most of all Rainbow Dash.” Syera said and with that she used instant Transmission.

Lucy Packard, the coordinator of the event then told number fifteen to get ready to go on, and that happened to be Rarity.

“Number fifteen, let's go!” She said.

“Rarity... is ready!” Rarity stepped out in this ridiculous git-up and all sorts of frilly fruity make-up. She looked ridiculous but in her eyes she looked perfect, obviously.

“Look, ladies. I don't know what to tell you. There's only time for one more performance. If you both want to compete, you'll just have to go out there together!” Lucky told them both.

“Well, Rainbow Dash? Shall we?” Rarity asked the scared and babbling pegasus pony, who then looked at her and nodded with a nervous chuckle.

“I loved number seven. Doing fifteen barrel rolls in a row can't be easy.” Twilight said as she, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie and Applejack were in the crowd waiting to see Rainbow Dash and Rarity do their stuff.

“My favorite is number ten. She just looked like such a nice pony.” Fluttershy said smiling as she looked at the last few pony's who were performing.

“Yeah but… Hmm... Wonder how come we haven't seen Rainbow Dash or Rarity yet. The competition's almost over.” Applejack asked, as she said that Syera appeared right behind them.

“She’ll be out in a sec, just watch you guys.” Syera told crossing her arms with a confident smile.

“Ah Syera there you are, I was just about ask. And how Rainbow Dash feeling?” Twilight asked her Saiyan sister with a bit of worry.

“She’s doing alright for now, I just hope she can keep her composure during this event.” Syera told them all and they all sighed in relief to know she is still going to compete, but they are still worried for her well being.

“And now, for our final competitor of the day, contestant number fifteen! Uhh... And apparently contestant number four…” The announcer of the competition told on the loud horn to the crowd who cheered and applauded. Mostly the five friends in the crowd who were rooting for Rainbow Dash as well as Rarity.

“Good luck, Rainbow Dash. Just do your best. I hope you don't mind, but I took the liberty of changing our music. That "rock and roll" doesn't really match my wings.” Rarity told Rainbow Dash and with that, they were off both performing and showing their moves to the soft majestical classical music Rarity had picked for their performance.

“Come on Rainbow Dash, you can do it, just remember the plan.” Fluttershy murmured to herself, Syera looked at her for a moment then back at towards Rainbow Dash and Rarity as they performed.

Phase one of Rainbow’s performance seemed a little haywire at first as she went in between the columns ahead of her, grazing one and spinning around it with her momentum gained from her speed.

She nearly crashed into Princess Celestia who was the guest of honor there apparently, none the less she gained back her control and moved onto Phase Two.

“Look! Phase two is working.” Fluttershy said as Rainbow Dash flew near the clouds making one by one spin around and around. Only to lose complete control near the end of it which shocked the crowd to no end from how many times she swung around the cloud before being launched away.

She recovered thankfully, but now it seemed she was hesitant about the third and final phase of her routine, the Sonic Rainboom.

Rarity on the other hand was doing well attracting the crowd’s attention with her glamour and elegance. And she was too nearing the end of her performance.

“And now for my grand finale. I will fly right up to the sun and beam my beautiful wings over the whole city of Cloudsdale!” Rarity told herself with a bit of gasp and squeal of excitement and continued with saying “They'll be talking about it for years!”

Rainbow Dash was telling herself the same with her final phase. “Looks like this is my last chance to turn things around. Phase three. The sonic…” She paused with a gulp. “rainboom. Wings, don't fail me now!” She said as then flew high and fast in the sky hoping to break the barrier of speed itself and perform this move of legend, grunting and reach critical speeds and terminal velocity, she was near it.

Rarity on the other hand was then doing the same however she stopped when she flew in front of the sun, once she did and let her wings shine she shouted below. “Look upon me, Equestria, for I... am... Rarity!” Her wings shined brightly, however as they did, there seemed to be a bit of a spark near the edge of her wings that wasn’t sparkle and glimmer, but in fact… Heat and smoke. Syera gasped when she saw this.

“Oh no! Rarity’s wings won't last much when she is that high up and close to the sun.” Syera said worriedly.

“Wait… you don't mean…” Before Twilight could finish that sentence, she looked up and saw that Rarity’s wings had gone up in a poof! And turned into ash after being exposed to the sun’s rays of heat.

Rarity took notice as she was there frozen in place. “Uh-oh.” and plummeted down as gravity took effect screaming like a bat out of hell.

“Oh no! Her wings evaporated into thin air!” Twilight screamed as they’re friend plummeted down to the earth below. Syera halted her chance to grab her since 3 of the wonderbolts flew after her, but when they tried to grab her, she flayed her hooves around ended up knocking them out one by one.

“Damn! Hold on Rarity!” Syera said as her aura turned red as she unleashed the Kaioken.

“I'm coming for her too!” Rainbow Dash was side by side the Saiyan as they rushed downward to not only save Rarity but the wonderbolts who got knocked out by her.

“Together!” Syera and Rainbow Dash rushed down at incredible speed. Though it was a tight close call of a last ditch effort. Speed and Velocity was rising, however it seemed Rainbow Dash was gaining even more speed even on Syera. Which shocked to Saiyan to no end.

“Wait… No way, I think she’s going to do it! Oh my gosh yes she is! Alright Rainbow Dash, but we gotta save our friends first.” Syera frowned with seriousness. Soon once she and her Pegasus friend got closer and closer to their friends, they felt themselves breaking the limits of what speed would even be considered.

“Come on… darn it! More Speed!!!!” Syera screamed out, soon once she grabbed hold of the wonderbolts and Rainbow Dash grabbing Rarity, just microscopics inches from the ground, a big eruption of their power and speed doubled even more. Syera heard the big bang and looked back and saw a beautiful rainbow trail erupt from… wait! Rainbow Dash!? “This must be it… A… Sonic…”

“A SONIC RAINBOOM! YEAHHH!! SHE DID IT!!!” Fluttershy screamed out the answer and cheered at the display of what was that Rainbow Dash created by doing the move of legend.

“Hey Rainbow Dash, you did it!” Syera said as she was right next to her, flying in perfect sync as her Red Kaioken aura flowed next to Rainbow Dash’s rainbow colored aura as they soon flew up and around the stadium of Cloudsdale.

“Yes… you’re right! I did it! Best. Day. Ever!” Rainbow Dash said with such amazement and excitement that she did such an amazing move that only the best flyers could even hope to achieve, even the wonderbolts themselves didn’t even do this.

“You sure did. Oh thank you, Rainbow Dash thank you Syera. You saved my life!” Rarity was so grateful and yet discouraged since this wouldn’t have happened if she did not showboat or even enter the contest with her glamorous wings.

Syera and Rainbow Dash looked at each for a moment and smiled big as they bumped fist and hoof then soon after their moment they landed back, putting the wonderbolts to the infirmary and Rarity to the balloon where she wouldn’t fall through the clouds.

“I want to apologize to all of you for getting so carried away with my... beautiful wings. I guess I just lost my head.” Rarity was sincere in her apology towards her friends and it made her feel like a total showboat.

“It's okay.” Fluttershy said to her first.

“Oh, don't worry about it, kiddo.” Applejack said next.

“We still love you.” Pinkie Pie said smiling.

“And I'm especially sorry that I was so thoughtless as to jump into the contest at the last minute after you had worked so hard to win it. Can you ever ever forgive me?” Rarity asked Rainbow Dash in the most thoughtful and sincerest way as she puffed up her lips and made a sad face.

“Aw, it's okay. Everything turned out alright, right? I just wish I could have met the Wonderbolts when they were awake.” Rainbow Dash was a little let down to have her star idols knocked out by her friend.

“Hehe~ yeah, its a real shame they aren’t awake, I kinda wanted to talk with them too if we had the chance. Because that Sonic Rainboom was something else, if anything I’d say you One upped them besides everypony here who competed.” Syera said with a chuckle and so did the group of friends around her. Especially Rainbow Dash.

“Yeah… you maybe right.” Rainbow Dash said, though before they could say another word, Syera felt a tap on her leg.

“Huh? Ahhh!!?” Syera could only point in shock and utter fangirl of what is before her.

“What is it Syera? Huh?!” Rainbow Dash turned around and was shocked just as much. “Ohmygosh Ohmygosh Ohmygosh Ohmygosh Ohmygosh!” She said as she saw who it was, the wonderbolts themselves, and not just any wonderbolts, it was the ones they saved, and it happened to be Spitfire, the current leader of them.

“Spitfire!?” Syera said with shock and she laughed nervously. “How much of that did you hear us saying?” Syera said nervously as Spitfire looked at her and Rainbow Dash.

“Don’t worry, we heard quite enough. So you’re the Saiyan we’ve heard so much about that help save the world with these six little pony's here right?” Spitfire said with a confident smile.

“Yes~ we are hehe~” Syera said rubbing the back of her head.

“Indeed, and we are glad that you and this one here saved us.” Spitfire said as she gave a smile towards Rainbow Dash who was still fangirling to no end.

“Ohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygosh!” She kept saying while holding a hoof up to her mouth.

Though the wonderbolts in front of them kneeled, to what Syera was a little unprepared to do since Princess Celestia had shown up to the scene.

“Princess” Twilight said as she, Syera the rest of the gang kneeled before her.

“Hello, Twilight Sparkle, as well to you too Syera and hello to your friends and everypony here.” Princess Celestia put on her majestic smile as she usually does when she greets her.

“Princess Celestia, I am sorry I ruined the competition. Rainbow Dash here really is the best flyer in Equestria.” Rarity also apologized to the Princess as well for her such boisterous behaviour. Which was not a problem since Celestia was certain that she did not mean any harm to anypony.

I know she is, my dear. That's why, for her and Syera’s incredible act of bravery and her spectacular sonic rainboom, I'm presenting the grand prize for Best Young Flyer to this year's winner, Miss Rainbow Dash!” With the Princess’s final decision made on who the winner is, everypony clapped in applause and cheered whole heartily.

“Yahoo! Yes! You won Rainbow!” Syera clapped for her friend and smiled big.

“I won… Ohmygosh ohmygosh ohmygosh ohmygosh ohmygosh ohmygosh ohmygosh ohmygosh ohmygosh ohmygosh ohmygosh!” Rainbow Dash cheered in excitement of her victory today.

“So Twilight Sparkle, did you or Syera learn anything about friendship from this experience?” The princess asked the two before her.

“Hmm… Yes indeed Princess.” Syera told first.

“However, I think Rarity learned even more than me.” Twilight said as she then looked over at Rarity and smiled.

“I certainly did. I learned how important it is to keep your hooves on the ground, and be there for your friends.” Rarity told with a soft smile towards the Princess.

“Excellent. Well done, Rarity.” Princess Celestia told her, while that was going on Syera looked over at Rainbow Dash and smiled.

“This really is the best day ever!” She said smiling and laughing with cheer. Though during this moment of grandeur, it seemed the ponies that had made fun of her came forward, Syera was ready to step in if needed.

“Uhh, hey, Rainbow Crash.” The one named Dumb-bell but was corrected by his buddy.

“Dash!” He said and smiled at the blue pegasus pony before them.

“Oh! Uhh... Sorry. Rainbow Dash. Uhh, we just wanted to congratulate you on winning the competition.” Dumb-Bell said with a smile.

“Yeah, that sonic rainboom was awesome!” The other said.

“Heh, thanks, guys.” Rainbow Dash said smiling a little and rubbing the back of head with her hoof.

"Yeah and Uh... we're really sorry we gave you such a hard time before.” The third one said in the group.

“Aww, that's okay you guys, don't worry about it, really.”

“Hey. Do you want to hang out with us? Maybe you could show us how you did that incredible trick!” It seemed they wanted to Amend fences with her, which is good and this made Syera cross her arms and smile in joy.

Though this caused a chuckle from Rainbow Dash herself and then she said. “Sorry, boys… maybe some other time. I've got plans to fulfill!”

And with that Rainbow took off with the wonderbolts and got the chance to hangout with them and get to know em as not only a fan but also a friend.

“Hmm.. good on her.” Syera stood with her arms crossed, however, Celestia saw something in the Saiyan that seemed to be eating at her.

“Excuse Syera, mind if I speak with you please?” Princess Celestia asked.

“Oh yeah Princess, what’s up?” Syera put her arms to her side as she stared eye to eye with Celestia herself. The Princess then took a moment to look the saiyan over a few times.

“Hmm… yes, it seems you have become indeed stronger and many ways I will say. However, you mind seems to be a bit scrambled. What is the matter young warrior?” Princess Celestia asked with a serious look towards Syera.

Syera couldn’t deny it as she knew what she is talking about. Syera gave a serious look. “I won’t lie, these past couple of days have been odd I will say. Especially in my sleep patterns. I’m staying up later than usual, meditating mostly instead of Sleeping, high above when the Moon is full and high in the sky.” She took a pause before continuing.

“But there’s something else, something that I think could affect Equestria as we know it. I don’t know what it is but for some reason I keep hearing a voice talking to me and calling himself… “Discord”. I don’t know what to make of it though.” Syera said, however most of what she said seemed odd to Princess Celestia but when she heard that name.

“Wait… did you just say Discord!?” Princess Celestia asked. Syera gave a stern nod.

“Is this something we should be worried about?” Syera asked. Princess Celestia took a moment to think before speaking, and then looked at the Saiyan before her.

“Look, Syera I want to tell you more about this, however the time is not right. At this, time don’t worry about and ignore it till the time is right ok? And rest assured, you will be ready for when this comes. I just know it, just keep up your training. And please, keep Twilight in check as well.” Princess Celestia ordered in the kindest way towards the Saiyan warrior who gave a nod and put up her fist.

“I will Princess, you can count on it!” Syera said with a confident smile.

“Count on what?” Twilight asked as she walked towards the two ponies in front of her. This caused a chuckle from Syera and Celestia.

“Oh just more friendship business Twilight, I’ll tell you about it later, but for now, let’s see if we can hang with Rainbow Dash and the Wonderbolts. Or would you rather get back home and research that project you were gung-ho about.” Syera said laughing which made Twilight blush in embarrassment.

“Alright, alright! Let’s just find Rainbow Dash and the others ok, I can also perform the Cloud Walker spell on Rarity if she is up to it.” Twilight told Syera, who had gave her a nod and smile.

“Yeah, and Princess, it was good chatting with you, we’ll see you around ok?” Syera asked and the Princess smiled with nod.

“Indeed, Farewell Syera as you too Twilight Sparkle.” And with that said, the two sisters took off ahead to search for their friend.

“Oh and Syera?” Celestia asked the Saiyan who stopped in her tracks and looked back at her.

“Yes?” She asked.

“Just remember what said, and don’t worry till the time is right.” Princess Celestia reminded the Saiyan warrior and smiled. Syera nodded and gave a smile and a thumbs up.

“You got it” Syera said as she pointed both index fingers at her and then took off as did Twilight and then the rest of their friends in their little gang.

Though, just who was this Discord character and what or who is it that could possibly be and what does he mean to Equestria as they know it. Patience, only time will show when they are ready for the task at hand as Princess Celestia told the Syera.

But until then, more adventures await Syera and her friends.

Next time….

Chapter 18: Showtime! Syera and Spike Vs The Mischievous Diamond Dogs!

View Online

Last Time with Syera: the Equestrian Saiyan!

She and her friends made a trip to Cloudsdale, home of Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy, to witness a sight like no other. A Sonic rainboom performed by Rainbow Dash herself during the Best Young Flyer competition.

However, the move was unexpected to save the least since due to Rarity, who was gifted a pair of beautiful butterfly wings entered the competition and caused utter disaster to not only herself but to the wonderbolts who tried to save her in the process. It did turn out good in the end as Syera joined up with Rainbow Dash to help save the plummeting Rarity after she pulled an Icarus and flew too close to the sun as well as the Wonderbolts who tried to save as she knocked them unconcious.

“Come on, Come on! Just a little further!”

Syera was able to grab the Wonderbolts in time as well Rainbow Dash with Rarity, the speed gained from such an endured encounter triggered Rainbow Dash to go beyond the speed of sound and perform a Sonic Rainboom. The crowd went wild with not only cheer but shock at the move itself but enjoyed it’s beauty while it lasted.

“Rainbow Dash! You did it! A Sonic Rainboom, yahoo!!” Syera cheered out as they pulled up with their amazing speed, doing a few loops as they rised back up to Cloudsdale's dive arena.

“Yeah… I did it! Best. Day. Ever!” Dashie replied and Rarity was grateful nonetheless.

“Yes you did… and you saved my life, oh Rainbow Dash, I thank you. You too Syera.” The elegant unicorn was in no doubt thankful to Syera and Rainbow Dash for saving her as well as the Wonderbolts, who woke up soon after they prepared to head home and to also find out from Princess Celestia herself had crowned Rainbow Dash champion of the Best Young Flyer competition.

Next after Rainbow Dash claims her prize and hangs out with the Wonderbolts for the day after coming home. Syera was a little shaken still from her previous night’s dream. Princess Celestia took notice and asked her.

She told her that some sort of voice and figure came through to her claiming to be a mysterious being named “Discord”. Taking this Knowledge into account, Princess Celestia thought for a moment before telling the Saiyan that for now there is nothing to worry about, just for the time being and when they get to cross the bridge with this “Discord”, she told her to keep close eye on her Sister as well continue to work hard on her training.

In the back of the Saiyan’s mind after bidding farewell to the Princess, she wondered if this “Discord” could be a new threat and potentially strong enemy. This terrified yet excited her to no end. But when will this possible formidable foe appear, and what lies ahead of the Saiyan and her friends?

Find out, Now!

Cue Intro Music~ Showtime! Syera and Spike Vs The Mischievous Diamond Dogs!

“Rahh!” Syera kicked a dead tree in half before jumping up in the air and using her knee to break right through it, causing it to shatter to nothing but bits and pieces.

“Haha! Not bad, but I could do better. I just can't wait to find out who Discord is, I hope he’s strong!” Syera said smiling but then frowned.

“I just hope he does dress me in some sort of sexy bunny suit again, cause that. was. just. embarrassing. Good thing I left those details out from the Princess.” She remembered that much from the dream with the freak of nature, which is one of the reasons she can’t wait to kick his tail feathers.

“Huh? Oh man… another tear on my Gi again? Dammit… Looks like I have to visit Rarity for a little patchwork.” Syera looked down to her left to where her shoulder meets her chest, she saw a pretty nasty rip in her orange undershirt as well as her dark blue over top of her Gi. This time around it might cost her a little more since it was not the first time her clothes were nearly destroyed.

She lost count after 7 from when her Gi was utterly torn to pieces which shocked Rarity to no end when she walked inside the boutique, dirty as well as her Gi torn to shreds as she walked in asking if she could have a bit of patchwork done on her Gi. Only to be forced upstairs of her home to shower while she not only fixed it, but wash it as well. Luckily fixing it was easy since the magic materials were able to replace with about any fabric and meld into shape of Syera’s body figure. And it also had given Rarity time to get the saiyan’s measurements easily for her Grand Galloping Gala dress.

The Gala was just barely a month and a half away, plus Pinkie Pie’s birthday was coming up right before it by a week and half. There is a lot of planning to be done for it but only so much can be done at once during the day since Pinkie might get suspicious of what they’re doing. But for now, they still have time to make it perfect.

“Hehe… I wonder what’s Rarity is up to, maybe perfecting a dress design as usual.” Syera was talking to herself as she made her way back to Ponyville from her training sight, humming a small toon in her stride.

“Excuse me?” A voice called behind Syera. The Saiyan turned around and was shocked to no end of who the pony in front of her is.

“Dahhhhh!?!?! You’re… You’re…” Syera was on her butt now pointing at the pony she had least to expect.

“That’s right, The one and only sensational! Ow! Sapphire Shores honey, now I overheard you talking about Rarity, I’ve seen and heard snip-its of her work on the fashion designer news headlines and she is said to be at the top of upcoming designers in Equestria. And I ask please, would you mind showing me to her place of work/operation here in Ponyville?” The one and only Sapphire Shores and her sensational appearance to the Saiyan before her was none the least unexpected as to what She was expected to happen today.

Syera then shook her head to clear her mind and take in the Popstar Pony’s request. “Uh yeah, right this Miss Sapphire Shores ma’am, I was just heading there myself, Hehehe-” Syera was just trying to keep calm and not make a fool of herself as she tries not to fangirl in front of one of her favorite Pop-stars ever. Her music is like no other but to meet her personally is definitely going in her book of once in a lifetime events to happen.

“So do tell me about yourself my dear, How do you know Rarity?” Sapphire asked the Saiyan who tried to keep her cool.

“Oh… excuse me, Allow me to introduce myself since you did so first. My name is Syera, and I’m a Saiyan. I wasn’t born here but I love to call this place home and I’d do anything to protect it. And to how I know Rarity, it's a long story so I’ll spare you the details but let’s just say coming here to Ponyville for the Summer Sun Celebration turned out to be a little bit of a Crisis due to Nightmare Moon’s return, but I as well my sister and a few others, including Rarity were able to stop her. It wasn’t easy… But us defeating her made us all figure out who we are and how much we matter to Equestria.” Syera told this tale with truth and honesty in her words. Sapphire Shores was utterly surprised by these words.

“I see, so ya’ll were the group I heard so much about when I was touring a couple months back” Sapphire recalled as she remembered hearing the news about this.

“Yeah, anyway, as I’d like to tell you more. I think we’ve arrived.” Syera said as she looked up to see Carousel Boutique. The place of where Rarity works and lives. With them arriving at their destination. Syera was first to enter, opening the front door and hearing the jingle.

“Coming!” Rarity said as they entered. “Welcome to Carousel Boutique, where every garment is chic, unique, and magnifique. Oh Syera, great to see you darling and-” Rarity paused with a long drawn out gasp as she saw not only her friend but one of her most starred idols, and then spoke once more. “Sapphire Shores! The pony of pop!”

“I know Rarity, I was on my way here and she asked me for directions on how to get here! To your Boutique! I couldn't believe it was her of all the ponies!” Syera said as both of them shared a heartfelt girly scream of amazement and cheer.

“Good afternoon, Miss Rarity!” Sapphire said after Rarity and Syera had a moment.

“You yah... Y-y-you know my name?” Rarity said in complete shock and utter surprise.

“Well, of course I do, darling. I make it a point to know all of the up-and-coming designers and Clothes Horse magazine simply raved about you. Plus from what your friend here has told me, you are absolutely divine in your work. And a good friend indeed so I had no other choice but to come here to see what you can do for me.” Sapphire Shores browsed the dresses on the nearby rack to see what was in store on Rarity’s floor.

“Oh my stars. If I'm dreaming, don't wake me up. How may I help you, Miss Shores?” Rarity asked the Popstar.

“Please, call me Sapphire.” Sapphire Shores told Rarity with a smile as she continued to look. This caused Rarity to have a small giggle while smiling at Syera who was also jittery as well.

“How may I help you, Sapphire?” Rarity asked, still giggling a little.

“Well, as I'm sure you know, I'll be touring all of Equestria with my latest concert, Sapphire Shores' Ziegfilly Follies, so I need to look seeensational! Ow!” Sapphire seemed to end that sentence with such a high note that it was nearly on beat with how she sounds in her new album. Luckily for the popstar’s request, Rarity had something in mind as she stepped near a curtain, which was covering something, must’ve been a new project she was working on.

“I have just what you need. Sapphire Shores, prepare yourself for the pièce de résistance de la haute couture. I used every last diamond I found on this one garment.” As Rarity explained the aspects of this shiny gem infused dress, Sapphire’s eyes widened and lit up like a Hearth’s Warming Tree full of presents.

“And it is spectacular! I'll take it.” Sapphire was definitely satisfied with her choice, though the way it radiated. Syera kinda had to look away and shield her eyes.

“Really?” Rarity asked with a smile and satisfaction.

“Oh yes, and five more, each done up in a different jewel.” Sapphire’s request hit Rarity like a hurricane and tornado combined with such force. The elegant unicorn shook her head and asked.

“Beg your pardon?” Rarity asked. Also Syera seemed shocked at such an order.

“Costume changes honey, I can’t dress in just one outfit as I perform now can I?” Sapphire explained with a chuckle as she then proceeded to exit the Carousel Boutique. Leaving Rarity in utter chaotic ruin and faints in the process, since she’d get to work only if she had more gemstones, which she is fresh out of in her treasure trunk she has.

“Gah?! Rarity! Oh no!” Syera rushed to her unicorn friend’s side and saw how the rush of such an order hit her.

“Yes, I do have that effect on ponies.” Sapphire said chuckling. “Oh and Syera dear, do tell Rarity that she has in the total time of next week from today to complete them.”

Syera was even shocked at this. “Next week from today!? That’s all!?” the saiyan was also in shock with a bewildered look on her face then shook it off. “Alright, I will tell her once she comes too alright and don’t worry about Rarity doing this one alone because I will help her” Syera had given Sapphire Shores a thumbs up and smiled.

“I can’t wait dear, and I believe in Rarity’s skills and your good word. I know she won’t disappoint. And with that, Sapphire Shores Out!” Sapphire Shores then made her departure from Carousel Boutique and back to touring the rest of Ponyville.

“Oh man… hehe. Well I suppose I’ll have to wait for that patch on my Gi and get to work on helping her find those Gemstones. Hmm I know, I bet Spike would love to help Rarity find gems along with us! Plus he would love a couple of gems on the side to snack on and make some dishes he loves.” Syera chuckled at this idea and smiled and then looked at Rarity, picking her up and placing her on fainting sofa.

“Alright Rarity, rest up while I go get Spike alright. See you soon!” Syera said as then put two fingers up to her head and concentrated, but before she teleported away. She felt a hoof touch her left hand. She looked at Rarity and saw a faint smile from the Elegant unicorn.

“Thank you Syera, thank you for offering your generosity to me. I seriously owe you big time since this is the second time you saved me.” Rarity said smiling. “Now, go get Spike and might wanna change, cause the work you two will be doing with be… to say the least… dirty.” Rarity told and explained as she laid down on her sofa in relief with a hoof on her forehead.

“Will do Rarity, I’ll be back, and with our favorite Dragon friend. Hmm…” Syera said as she smiled at her unicorn friend and then soon concentrated again then used Instant Transmission to get to the library to tell Spike about the news of Rarity and her jewel hunting job. Spike lit up at the job, not only for the jewels but as well as spending time with Rarity.

“Are you kidding, that sounds so fantastic!” Spike said with joy. “Oh so fantastic~” He said again only with such mellow in his voice and satisfaction. Syera chuckled at this.

“Yeah, ok so I’m gonna go upstairs and change for the occasion so head over to Rarity’s and I’ll meet you both there.” Syera said smiling as Spike nodded and they fist bumped and headed their separate routes.

Soon later they got together, Syera was no longer in her Gi, she was in a white t-shirt, orange heavy duty pants, only one of the legs of the pants were cut off so one of her legs were exposed. She also had fingerless gloves and shoulder pads that matched her pants and were strapped onto the belt loops of them. Her boots were made of leather and steel. Custom made for working outside or inside. So it was safe to say she was ready for some Gem hunting.

Though it also seemed like Spike was ready as well, while he and Syera had to wheel a bucket each for carrying the shiny jewels Rarity found while they were hunting and digging for em.

While Syera used a shovel, Spike used his claws to dig for em. Though Spike was still stoked on how one of the most famous ponies in the music industry asked Rarity of all ponies to make her a few dresses.

“Oh my gosh! Sapphire Shores! The pony of pop! She is awesome! I mean, she's gorgeous and talented and…” Spike paused as he felt he was getting a little too far ahead of himself.

“heh... and not even half the pony you are. I mean, you're ten times more gorgeous and talented and-” Spike paused once more as Rarity looked at him.

“Spike, a lady is never jealous.” Rarity claimed which made Syera chuckle a bit.

“Heh, yeah. A “Lady” perhaps Rarity but you know the saying. “girls will be girls” and “ladies will be ladies.” Jealousy is a big issue when it comes to the two.” Syera crossed her arms after digging up a few gems Rarity marked on the ground.

“Ok, you got me there Syera darling, but still. A girl can get jealous easily, a Lady however has serious walls of elegance and it will take a lot to be jealous of another.” Rarity told the Saiyan in question to how there are differences between a girl and a lady. Though Syera shrugged it off and continued digging for the gems marked on the ground.

“But were you totally flipping out over meeting Sapphire Shores or what, right?! Cause wow, I wish I could of seen her myself.” Spike said with a happy yet sort of discouraged demeanor that he couldn’t meet the pony of pop.

“Ladies do not "flip out", Spike. However, Syera and I were quite in awe. Oh, I need to find more jewels than ever before to decorate her costumes And I’m so glad you and Spike can help me with this endeavor.” Before Rarity could say anymore, her horn lit up with a more intensified aura. “Oh, aha!”

Syera and Spike too notice of this. “Hmm? Rarity, you got something?” the Saiyan asked.

“Yeah, Did you find some more?” Spike asked as well.

“Yes, you two! Right there!” Rarity marked the dirt in front of them in multiple spots and they got the digging. And oh boy did they strike big with diamonds and jewels of all sorts.

“Ooooo! They look so delicious…” Spike said as he looked at a few of them while licking his lips with eagerness to eat them.

“Beautiful yes, but I don’t think they’re good enough to eat, at least for me Spike.” Syera said as she looked at a big one in her hands as she used a magnifying glass to look at how many carats there are.

“Spike! I promised I'd give you gems to snack on, but we need to collect more first or I'll never be able to make these outfits for Sapphire. And Syera, how many carats are in that diamond?” Rarity asked as she saw the saiyan examining it.

“I count about 14, still a keeper indeed.” Syera told as she put in the cart with the rest of them.

“Hm... I will miss you, my sweets.” Spike murmured as he patted and rubbed the jewels in the cart he had.

“Come along, you two. We still have many jewels to find before the day’s end.” Rarity told the two of them.

“You got it Rarity” Syera saluted with a smile and pulled the cart alongside Spike and his cart.

“At your service, milady.” Spike said smiling along with Syera as they continued their search for jewels and more. Find diamond after diamond, their inventory was rising two-fold and even triple-fold.

Though little to their knowledge they were being stalked by creatures who appeared to have interest in jewels as well. Syera had the feeling in her gut and in the back of her mind of this but shrugged it off since she as well as Spike had plenty of digging to.

“Syera? Is everything ok?” Rarity asked a little worried since her friend’s expression showed a little bit of worry.

“Hmm? Oh, it’s nothing, I’m just getting this weird feeling that were being watched by something, I just can’t tell from where though… and it’s making me on edge, anyway, got anything?” Syera had told Rarity the news on what she is feeling, but soon got off that and focused on their primary objective.

After an hour or so had passed and Noon was nearing on the horizon. Spike was getting more and more anxious to eat some gems. Rarity took notice and finally decided to give him what he wants and rightfully deserves to working hard.

“You've been very patient today, Spike. And for that you get the finest reward. This is from me to you.” Rarity told him as she pulled out the best kind of Diamond shaped Sapphire, measuring at about 19 carats from what Syera had told. Spike’s eyes lit up about it but then she looked at Rarity and felt a little bad since he felt so touched by this gift. Rarity took notice and wondered if something is off.

“Is something wrong, Spike?” She asked.

Spike shook his head no and said “No. It's perfect.” however before Rarity could say more, Rarity’s horn lit up again, showing more gems are in the area of their operation.

“Ooo, bring the carts, you two. There are more over here.” Rarity told as her horn lit up more with more intensity.

“You heard her Spike, let’s roll.” Syera said as she had the cart in one hand and the shovel in another.

“For me. From Rarity.” Spike said to himself as he looked at the gem Rarity gave him and kissed it for good luck and put it away.

Syera saw this and smiled as she rolling her eyes and pressed onward.

As the minutes passed and their hunt for gemstones greatly increasing, their hunt was soon about to come to a halt since Syera’s stomach was growling big time. “Ooof…. Rarity, can we please take a lunch break? I’m really starving…” the Saiyan pleaded to her unicorn friend.

“Oh alright, I guess we should take a lunch, and you know what? I think these amount of gems should get me through making the outfits for Sapphire Shores, ok let’s go~ Oh! What's this?” Rarity asked as her horn lit up brighter than before.

“You got something big?” Syera asked.

“Yes indeed another jewel. Oh.. hmm, strange. It's in the trees.” Rarity said as she came close to one of the trees, so did Spike and Syera who all started to see a diamond shape made of gold sparkle in the tree. However Syera stopped in her tracks as she suddenly felt a couple of strange energies start to surround them.

“Wait! Rarity, get away from the tree!” Syera shouted as she put her hand forward towards her friend.

“Huh whatever do you me~ ewww!” Right as Rarity looked again at the tree, she saw what looked to be some sort of Canine creature in front of her stand upright, and gave a menacing low growl. “Uh... uh... Good day, gentle... uh, fellow. Uh, I am Rarity and this is my friend Spike, as well as my other friend Syera.” Rarity told the dog creature before her.

“Ehe…” Spike waved cautiously while Syera gave a serious glare to this creature, she could also sense the ones creeping behind and was ready to strike once they got close.

“And you are…?” Rarity asked.

“Trouble is what they are…” Syera said as she began to slowly power up. A faint mystic glow formed around her.

“A Diamond Dog actually~” this creature told.

“Oh really? Oh well, that explains your fine taste in jewelry. I mean I-I-I know that diamonds are a girl's best friend and now I know that they're a dog's best friend too, ha ha ha. So, um, erhem~ you're out hunting for gems as well?” Rarity asked still conversaying with this “Diamond Dog” guy.

“Yes. We hunt.” It said while looking specifically at Rarity, which made the Unicorn question the motives of this Diamond Dog.

“Uh... we?” She asked.

“We hunt for gems. But you are a better hunter. So now we hunt... for you!” And with that said, a bunch at once sprung out from the bushes and trees nearby.

“I thought so…” Two of them lunged at Syera, she grabbed them by the paws and spun them around a few times before tossing them back against the tree ahead of them.

“Spike! Rarity! Behind me now!” Taking warning, Rarity and Spike did what Syera ordered at the moment. Rarity created a magic bubble around her and Spike and shouted.

“Teach them a lesson Syera!” Rarity said with anger and a bit of a frightened tone.

“With pleasure.” Syera was approached slowly by three of the dogs who circled her slowly.

“Come now, monkey girl, we only want the pony you are protecting from us~ do that and we will let you live…” One of them hissed lightly at Syera, her saiyan tail flicking at this threat.

“Hmph… like I’d let you take my friend for your own greedy conscience. If you think I'll back down from a scuffle like this, you’re sadly mistaken.” Syera said as she widened her stance. then powered up a bit before shouting, making the diamond dogs shriek and fly away a bit of a distance. But they didn’t back down so easily and charged the Saiyan full force. She elbowed one in the jaw, then another with an overhang kick and the third one with a curb stomp as she jumped upward.

“And that’s three down, I can do this all day you mutts, come on~” Syera said but she then heard a shriek from behind her and saw Rarity was being tackled down and grabbed by two other dogs who slipped behind her.

“Rarity! No!” Syera said as she rushed towards them but she was cut off by more dogs.

“You’ve gotta be kidding me~ Get out of my way!” Syera bum rushed her way through except for a very big one which caught her off guard and force her back far and made her drag her feet and hands across the ground.

“Damn it… Rarity!” Syera screamed out.

“Unhand me this instant, you ruffians. Stop! Put me down, you thugs! You brutes!” Rarity struggled to get out their grasp but to no avail. Spike was handling a few on his own too, but wasn’t fairing too well with them.

“Rarity!” Spike called out in a worried and plead for the Diamond dogs not to take her.

“Gotcha!” Spike said to one of the bigger dogs, which Syera took the chance while the big one was distracted and rushed it with speed and smoothness.

“Ha!!!” Syera vertical kicked into it’s jaw and did a somersault with her other leg, basically doing a double falcon kick.

“Alright! Good one Spike~” Syera said as they high fived and laughed.

“Waah! Syera, Spike please help me!” Rarity called out. Syera and Spike ran over but were cut off again by more.

“Haha! Nope!” One of them said.

“Sorry, scaly one and monkey girl~!” They tackled the two down who struggled to get them off.

“Damn it~ get off us now!” Syera shouted as her power out bursted force the dog pile on her and her Dragon friend to come off. However they were too late as Rarity was dragged to her doom.

“Syera! Spike! Ah, dirt! Aaaaah, Spiiiike! Syeeeera!!! Save me!!!” Rarity shrieked as she was dragged down a hole underground.

“Nooooooooooo!” Spike screamed loudly.

“Spike! Get ahold of yourself and focus!” Syera said as she shook the little dragon to get his attention.

“Alright, look I’m going after them but I can’t do it alone. Get the others for their help while I go after them and Rarity, now hurry! We don’t have much time!” Syera said as she got on her feet and went down the huge hole they made while taking Rarity down while Spike headed back to Ponyville to get some backup.

Once Syera got to the bottom of the hole, she crashed down through what looked like a cave ceiling and landed in her hands and feet. She looked around and saw various caverns and tunnels that could lead almost anywhere.

“Wow… look at this place, to think all of this was right below us, this place must be hollowed for miles. Oh man and if the Diamond Dogs are down here… what else could be living in these caverns?” Syera asked as she felt so small and disoriented as she looked through the many pathways ahead of her, filled with Stalactites and other funky cave formations, each different from the rest.

However she knew one of them would lead to Rarity. She concentrated for a moment, closing her eyes and feeling the cave and its pathways, trying to track Rarity’s energy signature.

Syera found the path she should take, as almost it was highlighted before her.

“This way… I hope.” Syera then ran ahead, but ready to fight if there was an ambush of more Diamond Dogs. And her gut instinct was right since she ran into a couple of them just up ahead. They seemed to be plugging up… holes above? But when Syera heard voices above on the surface, they sounded like her friends, as well as Spike and Twilight.

“Alright, Spike got them but they need a way down here. Hey! You stupid mutts! how about trying me on for size!” the Saiyan said as she gave them a funny face as well as flipping her Middle fingers at them, this caused them to growl and charge her.

“Hehe~ good, come to mommy~” Syera said as she then dodged their attacks and countered each of them. One with a punch, one with a kick, though eventually she took one by the arm, swung them around the crowd of incoming dogs, knocking them back and then throwing the said dog in her gasp into a group of three more.

“Heh~ smarts don’t it?” Syera said smiling, which made these dogs turn tail and run.

“Yeah you better run if you know what’s good for ya!” Syera said laughing. Though all of a sudden she saw a line with a gem on it.

“Huh? what is… ? Oh, is this the gem Rarity gave Spike? What is it doing here?” Syera grabbed it, but she felt some pull on it and it was strong.

“Huh!? Nrg~ ok… whoever is doing this~ you’re in for a rude awakening! Hehe~ ha!” Syera gave it a lot of force and strength as she pulled the gem off the line and had it in her hands. She then felt a stick hit her head. "Oww! Wait, what the~ Uh Oh..." At that moment when she looked upward where the gem and stick came from, she saw a bunch of familiar faces come plummeting down to her screaming, except for one.

“Gahh!!” Rainbow Dash, Spike, Twilight, Fluttershy and Applejack shrieked as they fell down the hole except for Pinkie who was excited as ever.

“Whee! Ha, ha, ha!” Is all that came from her before they all toppled on top of the poor Saiyan below them. Once the dust settled to the ground, Syera slowly got up on her feet and coughed a little.

“Ahh… Hmm? hey girls.” Syera said as she noticed Twilight and the others made it along with Spike.

“Syera! Glad we could make it to the action, and wait… whoa? What happened to them?” Twilight asked as she saw a pile of dogs in a corner of the cavern they were in, groaning in pain as they laid there covered in dirt and dust.

Rainbow Dash laughed as she saw this. “I bet Syera showed these dogs who’s boss. And by the looks of it, you really cleaned house.” R-D laughed wholeheartedly once more as she and the others got their barings.

“Yeah, and glad you girls could all make it to help save Rarity. Though sadly, I totally lost track of Rarity’s energy signature when you guys fell on top of me.” Syera said rubbing her head a little still feeling a bit of an ache in her head, it wasn't an easy one for her to shake off.

“Wait, that was you who tugged at that bonafide jewel Spike got from Rarity?” Applejack asked the Saiyan in question, only a small giggle came from Syera.

“Ehehe... yeah… sorry for dragging you down, I thought it was some sort of joke being played on me by one of those mutts running about down here.” Syera explained.

“It’s ok Syera, since you gave us an express ride down here! And it was fun jumping through a fox hole, we should do it again some time!” Pinkie said jumping up and down a few times excited to experience such a thrill once more.

“Yeah, some other time… but now, where do start our search now? I can’t really focus too much right now since my head is pounding… ugh…” Syera said rubbing her crown still.

“Guess we're gonna have to start goin’ down each tunnel one by one.” Applejack suggested, but it was easier said than done since each tunnel spanned for who knows how long.

“ Yeah we could, but... That’ll take forever Applejack!” Rainbow Dash said as she got a good look at each pathway forward.

“She’s right… But there's gotta be way to narrow it down. Agh!” Syera gasped in slight anguish as her head felt a sudden shockwave of pain. Luckily, Spike had an idea.

“I know! I bet they've taken Rarity down the tunnel with the most gems.” Spike told which made Syera think as well.

“Yes Spike, you’re a genius!” Syera said smiling but winced again in pain holding her head with both hands. “Oww…”

“But Spike, Rarity is the only one who knows how to find gems.” Twilight told.

“Not true Twilight. You can! You can copy Rarity's gem-finding spell.” Spike explained which made the lavender unicorn remember.

“Oh my gosh! You're right! Rarity showed me how she did it a while back. If I can just remember…” Twilight then focused her magic, then made it illuminate with similar properties to how Rarity usually does when looking for gems.

“It’s working!” Syera said and put her fist up with joy and happiness.

“Come on, let’s go everypony!” Twilight said as Spike was on her back, she and Syera lead the pack of friends on their way to find and save their friend.

“To Rarity!” Syera shouted.

“To Rarity!” The rest shouted with smiled as they made their way down the jewel lit caverns one by one, till they eventually made it to what look an entrance.

An old rusty grate door at that, it looked to have been there for awhile and never really taken care of.

“We must be here.” Twilight said, and as if right in cue, they could hear what sounded like distant crying, but it sounded more like over exaggerated whining.

“She must be in there. Let's go!” Rainbow Dash told, as they approached the old rusty door. However it was what also lead them into an Ambush of more diamond dogs. They each grabbed hold of each pony, however there were three on top of Syera.

“More workhorses.” One of them said.

“And work monkey too!” another said, which caused Syera to twitch a little in anger then growl.

“Hoh, doggies. If you can take this bull by the horns, you better be ready for a ride. Come on, girls! Kick 'em up, kick 'em out. Buck 'em up, buck 'em down.” Applejack said as she started to buck harder than ever before like she kicking apple tree after apple tree. “Yeehaw! Get along, little doggies!”

Which is what each of them did, one at a time in perfect sequence.

“This. is. seriously. not. cool! Rahhhhh!!!” Syera then pushed outward, exhuming a lot of pent up energy to the point of her going Super Saiyan and illuminating many of the cave systems as she transformed. Fueled by how her head hurts as well as her hunger, she was full on Angry. The diamond dogs on her flew away and ran towards the old rusty door, opened it and shut it hard behind them.

“Whoa! Uh guys, I think Syera has gone berserk!” Spike said as then Syera focused her attention towards the rusty door the dogs went through and charged it fist first right through with incredible speed and strength, breaking it down and it hitting any dog in the way.

“Woo hoo! Get em’ Syera, alright!” Rainbow Dash said with excitement to see what will happen next.

“Come on girls! Let’s follow behind her.” Twilight told the rest of them, and they did just that and followed the rampaging Saiyan till eventually Syera had stopped, panting a little as her aura ceased but her hair still the golden blonde with her eyes bright sea blue. However the Super Saiyan was utterly confused on what was going on, since three of the Diamond dogs from earlier were scurrying around like they were afraid of something else besides her.

“Save us! Please, save us! Make it stop! Please!” One of the dogs pleaded.

“Excuse me?” Twilight and Syera asked both as the three dogs were at their hooves and feet pleading.

“So picky.” The first one said.

“And critical.” The second one spoke next.

“She won't stop talking.” The first dog spoke again.

“And crying.” The second one spoke next once more.

“We, uh, give her back. Yes.” the third one finished for them, as Rarity then walked from behind them as they stepped out of her way.

“Rarity! You're safe!” Spike said as he ran up to hug the unicorn, as she had a cart full of gems strapped to her.

“Why, yes. Hello, girls. You arrived just in time to assist me.” Rarity told with a smile and confused her friends.

“Assist you with what?” Applejack asked?

“With those.” Rarity said as made them turn attention to the gem carts that were stockpiled with so many different jewels.

“You're letting her leave with all these... jewels?” Spike said almost nearly drooling at the sight of them all.

“Yes. Take them. And her with them.” The second one spoke of the group.

“Please!” The first one pleaded as they shivered in the corner. And with that said and done as the group of friends looked at each other and smiled. They each got a cart of gems strapped their bodies and then wheeled them out of the caves.

Syera however was able to wheel three carts at once, but before she did, then looked at the three dogs still in the corner.

“Hey, you three, step forward.” the Saiyan told as they then scurried over to her and sat like good dogs.

“Yes oh great friend of the Mistress Rarity?” One of them asked.

“First off, what are your names so I can thank you for this loot.” Syera asked the three.

“I’m Fido!” The smaller dog told.

“I’m Spot!” The bigger one told.

“And I’m Rover!” The one in the middle told.

“Fido, Spot, Rover, I’m glad to make your acquaintance, now before I go. I’d like to ask you a favor. You help out with Rarity when she needs Gems and we’ll help you and your organization in any way we can so, in the future we could become sort of like… partners in business.” Syera proposed to the three dogs before her.

“Yes!” Fido said as the three of them shook her hand.

“We will be glad to help Mistress Rarity anyway we can!” Spot told.

“Just so as long as we don’t make her upset and she doesn’t whine so much! Please-” Rover pleaded.

“I can’t promise that if you do a bad job Rover, now I’m sure if you’re all good boys, you won’t have to worry.” Syera smiled, and with that they all nodded and whined to her cutely. “Good, now I will relay this message to Rarity, that you will help her if she comes to you. But if you double cross her, her whining and complaining isn’t the only thing you’ll have to worry about.” Syera warned them as she flared up her golden aura. And with that said they nodded and ran off to who knows where in the cave system. the Saiyan chuckled and soon wheeled the three carts of gems outside the caves and met up with the rest of the ponies and dragon.

“I can't believe you found all these gems!” Pinkie Pie said as she looked at all the fine jewel stones.

“Heh. I can't believe you tricked all those dogs.” Rainbow Dash said with a bit of a chuckle.

“Just because I'm a lady doesn't mean I cannot handle myself in a sticky situation. I had them wrapped around my hoof the entire time.” Rarity said smiling elegantly like always and saw Syera approach them with the rest.

“Oh Syera, there you are darling. Where were you?” Rarity asked as the Saiyan was next to her pulling three big gems.

“Oh no where special, just giving those dogs a warning, plus a little proposal to help them help you whenever you are in need of gem collecting” Syera explained.

“Oh that sounds quite wonderful darling! I just hope those poor doggos keep their word.” Rarity said with a bit of a worried look.

“Oh don’t worry, they will and I told them your ways of being around them won’t be the only thing coming their way.” Syera explained as the group shared a hearty laugh together.

“I can't wait to write to Princess Celestia to tell her what you taught me today.” Twilight said as she looked at Rarity.

“Me? What did I teach you?” Rarity asked a little surprised and bewildered at this claim from Twilight.

“Just because somepony is ladylike doesn't make her weak. In fact, by using her wits, a seemingly defenseless pony can be the one who outsmarts and outshines them all.” Twilight explained to Rarity.

“Hm... "Outshines" is right. Now you have enough gems to cover Sapphire Shores' costumes.” Spike said as he was munching on a couple of gems in one of the carts.

“Not if you eat them all, Spike.” Rarity explained.

“Speaking of eating, I’m starving!” Syera said reminding Rarity that they were gonna take a lunch break after they were done collecting gems for the day, however they not need to look any further due to the big haul they got from those diamond dogs.

“Oh don’t worry Syera, once we get back to my botique and unload these gems to my treasure chests, I will treat you all to a very great banquets of all sorts of food for celebration.” Rarity told with a wink to Syera promising her that it was a promise.

“Are you kidding!? Wow that sounds fantastic!” Syera said with a hearty laugh as well as the other ponies in the group, Spike too as he held back on munching on anymore gems.

As the group of friends neared Ponyville with the day just nearing its end, Syera looked to the horizon to wonder what is next on the list of their adventures in Equestria. And with the Gala on the way, what will happen before then.

Chapter 19: Trouble in Appleloosa! The Mighty Buffalo Stampede Imbound!

View Online

Last Time on Syera: the Equestrian Saiyan!

Rarity was visited by Sapphire Shores at her business of fine works of art in the dressing industry. However, when Rarity showed the finest piece of clothing, the pièce de résistance de la haute couture. Sapphire could not help but say yes to the dress indeed, though it came with a catch, she wanted five more of them, each styled with a different gemstone. Syera was a witness to this order since she was originally going to get her Gi fixed from a bit of a training accident.

With the order placed, Rarity had by next week from today to complete them, of course she needed more gemstones. So without hesitation to help a friend in need, Syera offered to help her find the necessary gemstones to complete her work.

Rarity was thankful, and not only Syera helped out, but Spike as well with the gem hunt. Along the way they encountered the mischievous group of gem hoarders, The Diamond Dogs, who captured Rarity for her talent in her magical abilities of finding gems and treasure. However their capture of the elegant Unicorn was short lived when Syera, Spike and the rest of the gang showed up at the Diamond Dogs’ front doorstep as they pleaded to take her away due to her being: “So picky.” “And critical.” “She won't stop talking.” “And crying.” and ended with them saying “We, uh, give her back. Yes!”

Only when they did get Rarity back, they were not empty hoofed, as they had a lot of carts full of gemstones and gold. This lead to Syera having an idea in her head.

“Hey, you three, step forward.” Syera asked as she then asked them their names and thanked them for the loot they so graciously had given them then told her plan to them.

“I’m glad to make your acquaintance, now before I go. I’d like to ask you a favor. You help out with Rarity when she needs Gems and we’ll help you and your organization in any way we can so, in the future we could become sort of like… partners in business.” She had explained and they fully agreed since it was a perfect plan in their book and Syera’s, but it came with a warning as well. “But if you double cross her or me, Rarity’s whining and complaining isn’t the only thing you’ll have to worry about.”

With that said and done as the Super Saiyan scared them with her aura blast, they came to an agreement and scurried back to their den they called home.

With the Gemstones now in Rarity’s possession as well as some with Spike since he had a cart of his own to munch on till he was full to no end. Syera and the rest of her friends continue their days of peace, though for how long will that be?

As Syera was preparing for anything ahead with her training. What will really happen?

Find out, Today!

Cue intro Music~ “Trouble in Appleloosa! The Mighty Buffalo Stampede Imbound!”

“So let me get this straight AJ~ You are taking this tree on a booked private first class car all the way to Appleloosa to plant in your family’s new Orchard?” Syera asked as she looked at the great big tree before her, roots and all tucked away in a blanket to preserve it.

“That’s right, Bloomberg here is gonna have a new home, and it's in his roots to get there since he will produce some of the finest apples there is in all of Equestria! I just know it. Oh and would y'all mind carrying it for me please?” Applejack asked politely as she could. Though Syera seemed kinda lost. “Uh? Syera, you still with me, Syera!” Applejack shook her lightly and the Saiyan snapped out of it.

“Wait, I zoned out there for a second there, what?” Syera asked confused as her mind was million of miles away as she stared at the tree Bloomberg.

“I asked, could ya carry Bloomberg here to the train station for me?” Applejack asked again as she face hoofed.

“Hmm.. hmm…, yeah there it was, You lost me when you gave the tree a name. But alright, I’ll carry him for ya.” Syera said as she lifted up Bloomberg in both her hands on her shoulder.

“Wow, he’s definitely a little more heavier than your average Tree, then again I suppose so since it’s still alive and full with yummy apples.” Syera said as she licked her lips at the thought of having some, her stomach growled loudly. Applejack face-hoofed again as they were walking to the train station.

“Land-sakes Syera, knowing you by now, you could eat a whole feast of my Apple treats and delicacies and still have room for dessert, you must have one bottomless pit of a stomach similar to Pinkie Pie.” Applejack remarked as the two shared a hearty laugh.

“Hehe~ yeah I guess you’re right.” Soon later as the two walked, they arrived at their destination ready to put the tree in the private class section of the train bound for Appleloosa. Only thing that got Syera surprised was that when she and Applejack arrived, she saw all of her friends and sister Twilight waiting for them.

“Huh? Hey guys, what are you doing here?” Syera asked.

“Syera did you forget about today?” Twilight asked her saiyan sister, who was giving a blank stare of confusion. This caused the unicorn to face-hoof and then explain.

“We’re going to Appleloosa with Applejack to see some of her family as well as the town itself and its culture , as well as sampling the delectable food there as well as see and tour their famous appletree orchard.” Twilight mentioned which is what caught Syera’s attention.

“Oh right! That part I remember most is when you mentioned delectable food!” Syera told as she remembered, however her friends all fell over in complete and utter stupor, which left Syera standing there with Bloomberg in her arms in a bit of a shocked expression with a bit of sweat dripping off her face.

“Uhh… girls? You ok?” So after that dispute was filed and dealt with, the gang boarded the train along with Bloomberg and were off due south, to Appleloosa. While the gang was settling in, Syera on the other hand, thought it be great to get some training done, so she climbed to the top of one of the train cars and did some sit-ups, push-ups and some cardio exercises. Even when she wasn’t training, she’d just sit above the train car and look at the beautiful sights as they passed by at such fast speed. Soon she climbed down to see what the rest of the gang was up too since it was gonna be a long trip and they left during the evening hours and nightfall was upon them.

Syera decided to see where Applejack was, she walked to the very last train-car and she saw and overheard her reading a… bedtime story? To whom?

“And that's when the yellow birdie thought to himself, "Hmm. My favorite little tree isn't such a little tree anymore." So she sang her song, big and strong, and they all lived in that great, big tree happily ever after. The... end.” Applejack ended that off with a smile as she put the book down and gave a goodnight kiss to… Bloomberg? She was reading a bedtime story for the damn tree!?

“Ahahahahahaha!!! Oh by Celestia, Applejack, were you seriously reading a bedtime story to your Apple tree!? Hahaha!” Syera was on the floor rolling and laughing her butt off.

“Yes I was, now stop laughing for pete’s sake, its not that funny and Bloomberg needs his rest. Plus well, ya know, being planted in a whole new place is very upsetting' for a tree... and Bloomberg here is one of my favorites.” Applejack explained as she cuddled Bloomberg.

“Uh? I see, well anyway, I think we should get some rest too, so let’s make like a tree. Get it? huh, huh?” Syera smirked as she got up and bumped her elbow softly on Applejack’s side remarking the petty joke she just made, then the two laughed a little at it.

“Yeah true, let’s go Syera” Applejack said as she closed got up from the side of the bed Bloomberg was and was about to leave with her Saiyan friend. But before they could up and leave Bloomberg to rest, Rarity busted in with an angry expression.

“No fair, Applejack! You've got a luxurious, private sleeper car for a tree, while I am crowded and cramped in the same car with all the other ponies. How am I supposed to get my beauty sleep?!” Rarity complained, but the two just chuckled.

“Well, Looks like you’re just gonna have to bunk with the rest of us and tough through it darling, sorry.” Syera said smiling as she used Rarity’s favorite word at the end of that sentence, which made Rarity glare at the Saiyan and growl lowly.

“Hmph, very well, but please don’t make so much noise in the middle of the night as the train will be doing enough racket already.” Rarity asked politely as possible. Applejack and Syera nodded at each other then looked at Rarity.

“Don’t you worry, we’ll try not to make too much racket.” Applejack promised as soon the three got back to the train car they were all bunked in.

Fluttershy was on the top bunk of Twilight’s bed on the right while Rainbow Dash was on the top bunk of Pinkie Pie’s bed on the left side. Spike was on the bottom bunk while Rarity was on the top of his on the right side, on the left it was similar with Syera and Applejack, on Syera was on the bottom while Applejack took the top bunk.

Pinkie, Twilight, Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash were chatting away. Spike and Rarity were both trying to get some sleep while Applejack had her hat tilted down as she laid down and her head on the pillow. Syera on the other hand was meditating, her legs crossed and her hands balled in fists pushed together. She had her gloves and boots off while on the bed and still was in her Gi. She was trying something new, she wanted to try and sleep as a Super Saiyan, since most of her training was usually her being a Super Saiyan most of the day and turning it off while she sleeps. This time around, she wants to do it around the clock, pushing it to where if she wanted to, she can be a Super Saiyan anytime she wants to be without powering up all the time and straining her body.

However as the conversations went on by the four ponies, Spike was fed up with them being loud and spoke up about it.

“Do you guys mind? I was up early fire-roasting those snacks you're all eating, and I'm pooped!” He complained, and it was true what he said since most of the sweets and snacks for the trip he prepared for everypony, and each of them had a bag of sweets. Pinkie of course ate all of her’s, Rainbow Dash had her popcorn left, while Fluttershy, Applejack, Rarity, Syera and Twilight had still little more than half their snacks.

“Uh, speaking of, some of these popcorn kernels didn't get popped.” Rainbow Dash remarked, this caused Spike to huff a little.

“Okay, fine…” The dragon said as he huffed and puffed out a huge flame towards the bag of Popcorn Rainbow Dash had and it crisped her whole bag to ashes, only one Popcorn kernel popped and was still good to eat.

“Good night!” Spike said with a tired and agitated tone of voice and turned over. Of course Rainbow Dash was a little bit mad over this but let it go since Spike was exhausted and didn’t need any further drama.

Twilight then suggest this before things get out of hoof. “Uhh... maybe it's time we all got a little shut-eye. We've got a big day ahead of us tomorrow.”

Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie were a little discouraged since they wanted to stay up. “Awwww!” they said and Syera opened her eyes and peaked out her bunk with a serious expression.

“No complaining you guys, lights out now.” Syera said as she blew out one of the lanterns in the train car, leaving the only light to come from the moon outside to Train, other than that, it was total silence and darkness. Though it didn’t take long before there was chatter again.

“Psst! Pinkie Pie, you asleep yet?” Rainbow Dash asked with a whisper as she lit a candle she had and they got close to each other.

Pinkie then whispered back, “No, are you asleep yet?” which caused Rainbow Dash to roll her eyes and retort back.

“If I was sleeping, how could I have asked you if you were asleep?” This made Pinkie smile as she came close to the candle Dashie had lit in her hoof.

“Oh yeah!” She giggled.

“When we get to Appleloosa, you think we'll have to carry that heavy tree all the way from the train to the orchard?” Rainbow Dash asked, which then made Syera get up from bed and walk over to them.

“What tree? You mean Bloomberg?” Pinkie asked her pegasus pony friend.

“...No, Fluttershy.” Rainbow Dash said sarcastically as she frowned a little.

“Fluttershy's not a tree, silly!” Pinkie told Rainbow Dash.

“Well of course she isn’t a tree you two. And besides I think I can handle carrying Bloomberg on my own, I did it before, I’ll do again to get that log of apples to his new home.” Syera said smiled as she huddled around the candle.

“What's going on?” Twilight asked as she got near the candlelight.

“Well just discussing if who is gonna carry that tree Bloomberg.” Syera explained.

“Also, Rainbow Dash thinks Fluttershy is a tree!” Pinkie chuckled.

“I do not think she's a tree! I was just–” Rainbow was cut off by Twilight as she then asked.

“Did you say she was a tree?” As Twilight asked this, Rainbow was left mumbling her answers.

“No. Well.. Yes. But not exactly–” Rainbow would’ve continued on if Twilight didn’t intervene.

“Ya know she's not a tree, right?” Twilight said as then Pinkie added to the claim.

“She's not a tree, Dashie!” Pinkie told.

“I'd like to be a tree…” Fluttershy said as she then came over to the candle as well.

“Girls, I think we can all agree Fluttershy isn’t a Tree. Rainbow Dash was just making a sarcastic remark in the matter since ya know… Fluttershy when she does get scared, she becomes as stiff as a Tree.” Syera then explained and they all nodded in agreement and said a few words.

“Oh, for Pete's sake! Who cares who’s a tree and who’s not!” Spike said as he got up from his bed and went to the back car of the train where Bloomberg was, slamming the door shut as he left them for peace and quiet.

“Well, that just happened, look girls I think it’s best we all just get some shut-eye and see about our situation in the morning.” Syera said looking in the direction of where Spike headed off too and then back the rest of ponies around her that were still awake.

“You’re right sis, but still that was kind of huffy of Spike to say.” Twilight said a little worried for her number one assistant.

“Huffy yes, but I can’t blame the little huffy dragon.” Syera said crossing her arms as she looked in the direction where Spike was and smirked.

“Huffy the little magic dragon!” Fluttershy said giggling as well as the group also shared one with her, Syera was smirking and laughing a little but shook it off quickly. However, before they were at ease, Rarity then shouted out with a Mud mask and cucumbers on her face which scared the crap outta them.

“Would you all be quiet... NOW!” She ordered with a super angry tone.

“Aaaaaah!” They all screamed bloody mary at the sight of Rarity with all that on, even Syera was shocked of this since she appeared to be a monster with that stuff on. Rainbow Dash then blew out the candle and they all went to bed.
Though for some reason Syera couldn’t sleep so well. She tossed and turned a few times before grumbling a little in anger and soon got up and went on the roof of the train again and just sat there, staring at the Night Sky as the train passed at fast high rate of speeds.

The moon full thanks to Luna and that same tingly feeling in her tail.

Syera then stood up and felt the wind blow through her blonde Super Saiyan hair, it almost seemed mystical as her hair flowed, her tail light flicking up and down.

Her blue eyes reflected the moon perfectly. “I can only do but so much on this world, but I damn sure will make it count for my friends and loved ones.” Syera stated as she put her fist and front of her and her knuckles cracked a little. Her strong hands were then put up as she then performed a few breathing exercises, stretching every possible joint in her body, but soon she let out a yawn.

“Ugh… I think I trained enough today, I can only do so much. I guess I’ll finally turn in with the rest I hope... ” She remarked as she then climbed down from the roof and headed back inside the train car. Twilight was awake and had a worried look on her face.

“Syera, you’re still awake? Is everything ok?” The lavender unicorn asked as she laid on her bed below Fluttershy’s.

Syera looked at her with a smile, her bright blue Super Saiyan eyes looked at her unicorn sister’s deep purple eyes and then a smile came across her face. Syera then approached Twilight, kneeled down and hugged her. Twilight hugged back but was still confused.

“Everything is fine sis, and I will do my best to keep it that way.” Syera said as she looked at her sister with a serious look and smirk as she usually has when feeling confident in her words.

“Ok Syera, I believe you, but I’m not entirely sure what you mean.” Twilight then let out a yawn.

“Don’t worry, I’m sure you will someday, but now, let’s get some sleep.” Syera said as she then went to her bed, taking off her boots again and gloves and finally was able to sleep the rest of the night before the next day came when they’d arrive in Appleoosa's territory.

As the night ended and it turned into day, the train was going as fast as ever. The stallions pulling the Appleloosan train were as full of endurance as they were said to have. Their pace were as smooth as glass.

However something then happened which caused the smooth train ride to be extremely bumpy to say the least.

“Mmm… huh? What’s that sound?” Syera said as she got up rubbing her eyes and looked out the train. “Whoa~ girls wake up! Check this out!” the saiyan said to her friends on what was causing the serious vibrations and noise outside the train.

“It's a buffalo stampede everypony!” Twilight said as they all looked in awe, but all of a sudden they started to get closer to the train.

“I just love their accessories!” Rarity remarked as they got a good look at their tribal garb.

“They're getting awfully close to the train.” Twilight acknowledged their sudden shift and their direction. Syera took heed of this and slowly started to back away from the window. When all of a sudden the hoard of stampeding buffalo were now on a collision course with the train.

“Everypony brace!” Syera said as she firmly placed her feet on floor of the train. Everypony braced but they all flew up and down and across the walls due to the shockwave of their smashing against the side of the train cars.

“I want to speak to the manager!” Rarity complained, however Syera laughed but was then serious again.

“I think it’s a little late for that Rarity, I get the feeling they’re here for something on the train.” Syera remarked as then the buffalo then started to do a towering act.
It was unclear what their intentions were but once they stacked up to the height of the train, a small more agile buffalo then jumped on top of them and hopped on top of the train.

“Oooh, looky! Now they're doing tricks! Ooh! Ooh! Ooh! Now do a backflip!... Or... Just jump?” Pinkie said as they all saw what their little act was.

“Hmm.. Something tells me this isn't a circus act you guys, Syera! you’re coming with me, let’s go see what this little Buffalo is after.” Rainbow said as Syera nodded with a serious look as they then rushed to the roof of the train to cut this buffalo off.

“You two be careful up there.” Rarity told Rainbow and Syera, they both looked back and smirked confidently then got topside.

They’re sudden appearance definitely surprised the little strong buffalo in her tracks.

“Hi there, wonderful weather we're having right?” Syera crossed her arms but then the buffalo just ran right past them with incredible speed.

“Where ya headed in such a hurry?” Rainbow Dash asked as she and Syera were in a pursuit for the nimble little buffalo.

“Wow, you're pretty quick for someone so... bulky. No offense.” Rainbow remarked as the buffalo looked at her and Syera who were keeping pace with her easily as they flew beside the running buffalo.

“Huh..?” the nimble little lady asked.

“Do we have your attention now?” Syera asked as they were eye to eye with their sudden train border.

“If that’s the case, good, cause we just wanna know– Hey! We’re talking to you!” Rainbow said as she flew ahead cutting off the small buffalo again but she just jumped over the blue pegasus. “Whoa... Arrgggg... I got you now, you– ugg!” Rainbow wasn’t paying attention to what was in front of her as she ran into a railroad sign.

“Rainbow Dash!” Syera screamed as she saw her friend hit the ground past the train. Then she looked at the little nimble Buffalo who then whistled towards the other buffalo, they fell back towards the last cart where Bloomberg and… Spike were! They detached the last train car holding the two of them.

Applejack as well as the others saw this as they looked out the last train car.

“They've got Bloomberg!” Applejack called out, it was then Spike screamed from the top window of the train car

“Heeeelp!” The little dragon called out, Syera then used Instant Transmission to get Spike from inside the train car. However when she got in the car with Train, she couldn’t really get her bearings due to the amount of vibration from the buffalo hoarding off with the car.

“And Spike! But wait, Syera’s with him, I just hope they’ll be ok.”

“Ugggh..” Rainbow Dash was still kinda groggy and her head pounding from that incident with the railroad sign.

“Heeeelp!” Screamed out, as Syera then slowly made her way towards Spike and held him.

“Its~ o-ok Spike! I~m He-here!” Syera said with a vibrating voice due to all the commotion with the train car and buffalo.

“Oh Syera, what are we gonna do!” Spike asked scared as he buried his face in her chest in fear.

“It's alright, just stay close to me alright and we’ll get out of this A-ok, but first we have to find out why they took this train car specifically since Bloomberg is in here..." They were hacked very fad away off the tracks eventually into a spot far away in the deserts outside of Applelousa itself.

“Dragon-napping Spike. I'll show them! Ow…” Rainbow Dash then tailed the buffalo in stealth mode.

Soon later, the Buffalo stopped and put the train car down in the middle of the desert, at a place which looked like a canyon entrence. Syera and Spike were greeted by the little buffalo from before.

“You again!” The buffalo said referring to Syera who stood in front if Bloomberg, as did Spike with both serious expressions.

“That’s right, and I think you better explain why you took this train car containing Bloomberg here as well as Spike quickly, otherwise I’ll make you and you’ll be in a world of pain.” Syera stated firmly as she cracked her knuckles loudly and popped her neck a few times and readied herself as her Super Saiyan aura bursted with a gold flash, making the little buffalo stunned of who she is and what she has become.

“No… it can’t be~ danuwaanalihi… adelvdalonige!” The little buffalo told this unknown name to Syera, which kinda confused the Super Saiyan a little.

“Um… excuse me?” The saiyan asked with a bewildered face as she held back her energy and her aurs faded but her Super Saiyan form held.

“You’re the Warrior who bares the Golden form!” The little buffalo claimed. Syera and Spike both looked at each other and shrugged in confusion.

“You mean Syera’s Super Saiyan form?” Spike asked as then the little Buffalo then looked at the dragon who was in question.

“A Dragon too! It makes perfect sense, the legend is true!” It was then Syera snapped a little and demanded answers.

“Enough already! and explain! Who are you and why did you steal this train car containing Bloomberg, the amazing Appletree that Applejack was gonna plant on the Appleloosan orchard!” Syera pointed her index finger at the little buffalo with anger. It was then the she started to give explain.

“My name is Little Strongheart. And I apologize to you two, as well as that one Rainbow haired pony back there on the train as well. But our matter did not concern you all, it’s that tree, I’d love to explain more but not here, I can take you to our village, it's not far from here” Little Strongheart explained. Syera crossed her arms and thought for a moment and nodded, Spike wondered what the Super Saiyan was thinking about.

“I see, Alright, but if this matter is serious, would you mind taking me and Spike to see your leader on the reasons why you have a grudge against the Ponies of Appleloosa?” Syera asked politely and Little Strongheart nodded in approval.

“Yes, I will take you, I just hope maybe you and your dragon friend can come up with a solution” Little Strongheart as well as the group of Buffalo who took the train car had led Spike and Syera to their little village, Syera made sure Bloomberg was not destroyed by the Buffalo. And her being this warrior of gold from legend helped her cause greatly. Syera and Spike got well acquainted with the Buffalo, however their summonence with the Chief of the Buffalo had to wait till nightfall around the fire. Till then Spike had been given gemstones to snack on, plus Syera was also given a great deal of food since they knew somehow that she in particular loved to eat, a lot so they prepared a fine feast of all sorts of assorted foods, from fresh as the eye could see to assorted meats from the wild, weird how the buffalo knew how to cook them since they’re herbivores but nonetheless, Syera did not pass up a good meal. Their rice was amazing too, the way it was grown and processed made the flavor so different from the rice usually produced from ponies.

Later in the day after Syera feasted to her hearts content, same with Spike as they got accustomed to the buffalo’s lifestyle a little, Syera had felt two familiar energy signatures close the Buffalo’s camp.

“Is that… Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie?” Syera asked herself, which got Spike’s attention too.

“What? What about them?” Spike asked confused as he munched on the turquoise stones found out there.

“I can feel their energy signature, and they’re close. Come on!” Syera then got out of the tent they were staying in for the time being and then rushed over to a nearby ridge and saw what seemed to be Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie off in a distance. “There! They’re pretty far away, I think we should go greet them.” Syera said but Spike stopped her.

“Wait! Look!” Spike pointed out, the Buffalo were near their position, if they went over to them, it blow their cover. It be best for Pinkie and Dash to avoid them at all cost. However, if they were caught, they could intervene if necessary.

“Hmm… alright, let’s wait till they’re clear of the Buffalo first.” Syera suggested as she crossed her arms once again and Spike rested on her shoulder as got a look as well across the way towards their friends.

“Ooh, I can't wait to get my hooves on that little buffalo… Hnnh... Ow!” Her head was nonetheless still pounding in pain from the smash to the face she did with that railroad pole. “Nobody tricks Rainbow Dash and gets away with it.” Rainbow seemed to be in a sneaking fashion, however little did she know, she wasn’t the only pony out here in the vast Appleloosan desert.

“Boo!” Pinkie said as she popped in front of her, which shrieked her big time. However, as Syera and Spike watched from a distance chuckling a little, the Buffalo were gonna sneak up and ambush them.

“Yah! ...Pinkie Pie!” Rainbow was shocked and bit scared to see her pink pony friend.

“Ah, ya caught me! Looks like I tricked you and didn't get away with it either! You're good.” She complimented to Rainbow Dash.

“Shhshh! What do you think you're doing?! You gotta get out of here!” Rainbow warned Pinkie of the possible danger out here.

“I do?” Pinkie asked as she seemed to be playing a bit coy with the dangers out here, including the Buffalo sneaking up on them.

“You're gonna blow my cover.” Rainbow told her.

“I am?” Pinkie asked, still being coy of her current actions with Rainbow Dash.

“I'm trying to help as well as save Syera and Spike!” Rainbow Dash explained to her, which brought a smile to her face.

“Oh my gosh! So am I!” Pinkie told her which put them in the same boat more or less.

“And the more of us there are out here, the more chances of us getting... caught.” Rainbow spoke too soon as the Buffalo then ran up to them with full intention to hurt them as they surrounded the two ponies with no way out. “Run, Pinkie, I'll hold 'em off. Save yourself!”

“Now should we intervene Syera!?” Spike asked as they both saw from up top the train car overwatching the current situation.

“Hmm… yes! Hold on tight Spike.” Syera then rushed over at very quick speed and stood before Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie.

“Stop right there!” Syera and Spike called out and that made the Buffalo stop in their tracks, Spike and Syera then turned to look at their two pony friends.

“Dash, Pinkie, 'sup?” Spike asked.

“Yeah hey guys, Oh, hey guys it not a problem, They're cool since they’re with us!” Syera called out to the buffalo around them.

“Whatever you say Syera.” One of them said as the group that was gonna attack Pinkie and Rainbow then stood down and ran off.

“Anyway, hey guys, bit of a jig we have going on right? Anyway here is the thing, for some odd reason they believe I’m some sort of myth and legend in their folklore, and it resembles me in my Super Saiyan form.” Syera told as they were now back at camp enjoying some food.

“Yeah, and also when they took Bloomberg, they took me too, by mistake. And they feel awful about it too, poor guys. Fortunately, they totally respect dragons, so they treat me like an honored guest as well as Syera for her being this mythical warrior and all.” Spike finished off.

Rainbow Dash still felt odd being here in the village due to the fact she felt they were all in enemy territory.

“Still, it’s a shame they don't like ponies much though…” Spike said with a bit of a huff.

“But if they’re with me and you Spike, then I don’t see much of a problem, or for the entire fact they don’t like ponies at all, I hope we can figure something out.” Syera crossed her arms as she put her bowl of rice and meat down as well as her chopsticks.

“Huh. Well, I still don't trust them. I say we turn tail and bail while we still have the chance you guys.” Rainbow Dash looked off in the distance as she said this, however Pinkie retorted after she was stuffing her face with one of their dishes, they signature porridge.

“Mmm!” She then paused with a messy face and said. “Before we finish eating? Are you loco in the coco?! Can I please have more of this mushy stuff, whatever it was?” Pinkie asked as then Little Strongheart came around with another bowl full of Turquoise stones for Spike as well as some more rice and meat as well as some water for Syera.

“Certainly. And, Mr. Spike, you seem to be taking a liking to these gemstones, yes?”

“Turquoise. Mmm! Yes~ Heh hah!” Spike happily munched on them.

“And for you, Miss Syera, more of the finest cuts from the animals of this peaceful land, we greatly thank them to help feed you with our crop grown rice.” Strongheart gave the bowl to Syera.

“Thanks, I really appreciate it, but you don’t have to keep feeding me this, Its great but I’m getting really full, I may have a big appetite, but I think you guys are filling me up, but thank you, this is the last one I need.” Syera said as she then finished up her last bowl and started on this one and drank some of the water. She then paused and then told Pinkie and Rainbow Dash who she was.

“Oh I almost forgot you guys, this here is Little Strongheart. And Little Strongheart, these are my friends Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash, I think you remember her right?” Syera smirked as then the two eyes met with a bit of Furry.

“You!” Rainbow Dash said as she eyed Little Strongheart with aggression.

“You!” Little Strongheart said too as she eyed the Rainbow Dash with equal amounts of aggression.

“That's it! We're outta here, you coming Pinkie? Spike, Syera?” Rainbow Dash was beyond angry and wanted to leave before her feelings get the best of her and a fight brawls out.

“Wait! Please accept my apologies for what happened on the train. We didn't mean for anyone to be hurt. Especially you when you hit your head, truly sorry.” Little Strongheart dearly apologized from what happened earlier in the day.

“Yeah, right…” Rainbow Dash was still very angry from what had happened. Strongheart then continued on what was going on.

“We only wanted the tree. The settler ponies have overtaken the land and have planted an orchard all over it! Because of their thoughtlessness, we can no longer run over our traditional stampeding grounds.” She explained which caught everypony’s attention there.

“Huh?” Rainbow and Pinkie both said with confusion.

“So that’s what’s going on huh? Alright, I think it’s time we demand an Audience with your chief Little Strongheart.” Syera said crossing her arms after she was done feasting on her meal. Soon after, Spike, Syera, Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash were formally greeted to their leader, Chief Thunderhooves. And soon the topic of the matter came into speech.

“Hmmh. We have a long and winding stampeding trail that we have run upon for many generations…” The Chief then took a moment before speaking again. “My father stampeded upon these grounds, and his father before him, and his father before him, and his father before him, and his father before him, and–”

“We get it, your forefathers really enjoyed running along this path, mind getting to the point here!” Syera demanded sticking her arms out a little annoyed due to the fact she never got a straight answer.

“Yes, I think they get the idea, Chief.” Little Strongheart had to agree with the matter at hand.

“Hmph, very well.” He took a breath before speaking again. “It is a sacred tradition to run the path every year. But this year, these... settler ponies, these…” He snorted loudly in anger before saying “Appleloosans!” the thought of them got to him and it made him very angry, so Strongheart finished for him.

“They planted apple trees all over it without asking our permission!” Little Strongheart had finished off for Thunderhooves.

“Well that's not very nice.” Pinkie said with a concerned look.

“Yeah that is indeed a problem.” Syera crossed her arms.

“Hmph…” Rainbow Dash huffed a little as she stood there with a bit of an angry expression.

“The ponies refused to move their trees, so we are stuck here, and it is not fair!” Hearing Strongheart say this really painted a big picture for Syera as well as Spike, Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie.

“Hmm…. I see, this could pose a serious problem.” Syera said out loud as she crossed her arms and thought for a moment.

“It seems both sides have good reasons for having the land.” Pinkie said to Syera and Spike, which they nodded and agreed on.

“Yes… It does seem like it, but-” Syera however was cut off by Rainbow Dash as she did something unexpected, she then jumped up and stomped down on the ground hard, cracking it a little with an angry expression.

“Hah... Ah!” She huffed out.

This caused the buffalo to gasp a little and make Syera look over and wonder what is going through her Rainbow colored friend’s mind. It was then she spoke up. “I'll say they had a good reason! C'mon you guys! We have some apple-pickin' Appleloosans to talk to!” Rainbow stormed off quickly in the direction of Appleloosa.

“Rainbow Dash, wait for us!” Pinkie called out as Spike was now on her back and she ran off after Rainbow Dash.

“Miss Syera?” Little Strongheart looked at the Saiyan in question, before she got a smile from her.

“It’s alright, I’m going to Appleloosa with them as well, you should probably come too, to show we made a friend with you guys. And for the rest of you, even you Chief, come to the border of the town of Appleloosa and wait from Little Strongheart’s signal to come into town so we can come up with a peaceful solution for both you and the Appleloosan Ponies.” Syera ordered to them and they all nodded in agreement and shouted “Understood” to her.

Syera motioned her head to the side to Little Strongheart for them to get moving back to town, the hike would take them at least all of the rest of the night to get there on foot, but they’d make it back in time for sure to see this proposal come between both the Buffalo and Appleloosan Ponies.

As night became day, Syera, Little Strongheart as well as Spike, Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash finally were able to make it to Appleloosa, seeing it as the sun slowly rose over the small western town was a sight to be reckoned with.

“So this is Appleloosa huh? It's a lot smaller than I imagined it to be.” Syera said crossing her arms.

“Well duh, it’s called a settlement for a reason ya know, it’s not a bustling metropolis like Manehattan is or Cloudsdale for that matter.” Rainbow Dash explained.

“Oh yeah, that is true indeed.” Syera agreed with her rainbow colored pegasus friend as they slowly made their way down the rocky cliff they were standing on the northern end of the town.

“Wait! did you guys hear something?” Pinkie said, and that is when everyone in the group was on edge, but soon it became clear on what or rather who it was. It was then the group peeked their heads around a rock wall and saw it was Applejack, Rarity, Twilight as well as Fluttershy.

The pony's looked like they were ready to go on a hike and camp somewhere by the looks of how prepared they were.

“Ow!” Rarity groaned out as Applejack tightened the strap around her underside of her pack. “Gently, please!”

“Sorry, Rarity, but our friends are out there and we have ta' be ready for a long hike into buffalo territory if we're gonna save 'em! Let's go!” Applejack ordered, however, Syera knew it was time to reveal themselves.

“That won’t be Necessary Applejack~” Syera stood in front of them with both her hands on her sides as she looked at the group before her.

“Hi, guys!” Pinkie shouted as she poked her head over the saiyan’s shoulders.

“Pinkie! Syera!” Fluttershy tackle hugged the pink pony and the Saiyan with so much relief yet worriedness. “We're so glad you're safe.” She said as the Rainbow Dash and Spike stepped out as well.

“How did you all escape from the buffalo?” Twilight asked wanting to know what happened to them all while they were out in the wild.

“Funny story for ya here.” Syera then explained what had happened when they put the train car down after running with it so long. And that Bloomberg is safe, they didn’t try and destroy him or anything of the sort since Syera said so, and that they respected her wish since she was this warrior with the golden power, which in turn was her Super Saiyan transformation.

“Oh and besides all of that, We promised the buffalo a chance to talk.” Rainbow Dash told after Syera was done explaining the jig of what happened while they were out there.

“Oh, yeah? 'Bout what?” Applejack asked as then Little Strongheart jumped out from behind the rock wall they were at before after Syera gave the ok to her by signalling her hand to come on over. This caused all the other ponies to gasp in surprise.

“We brought our new pal Little Strongheart here to explain to the Appleloosans why they should move the apple trees off buffalo land.” Rainbow explained, it was then from the looks of it, one Applejack’s relatives. If Syera remembers correctly from the Apple Family Reunion, that pony is Braeburn.

“That information would be quite help–” Braeburn was suddenly cut off by Applejack who retorted to Rainbow Dash’s claim about the buffalo.

“That's weird. 'Cause my cousin Braeburn here wants to explain to the buffalo why they should let the apple trees stay.” Applejack eyeballed Rainbow Dash seriously when she said this.

“That would be a useful thing to–” Little Strongheart spoke up but was cut off by Rainbow Dash who spoke against Applejack.

“The land is theirs! You planted the trees not knowing that. Honest mistake. Now, you just gotta move 'em, that's all.” Rainbow Dash told which was the right thing to do in the case of the buffalo.

“They busted their rumps here! An' now they're supposed ta bust their rumps again, just 'cause some buffalo won't stampede someplace else?” Applejack spoke back to Rainbow Dash, this started to continue for some time as they went back and forth with each other.

“Plant the trees somewhere else, so the Buffalo can do their traditional stampede!”

“Where?! It's the only flatland around these parts for miles, it’s just not possible!”

“The buffalo had it first!”

“The settler ponies need it ta live!”

“Enough! both of you, look we all know the Appleloosans as well as the Buffalo both cherish this land. There has to be a solution for both sides without removing the trees, yet letting the Buffalo roam the land in as many stampedes they want.” Syera explained.

“Syera’s right as she said, Both the settlers and the buffalo have good reasons to use this land. There must be something we can do to resolve it peacefully and without violence.” Twilight explained standing by her sister’s claim as well as Spike. However out of the blue…

“Hey! I got an idea!” Pinkie Pie said, which is what caught everypony there at that moment completely off guard.

After Pinkie Pie’s “Idea” went into motion, the settler ponies as well as the Buffalo were all gathered outside the town near a stage, Pinkie’s idea happened to be… A song…

“Pinkie, I know this plan sounds good but are you sure this is the best idea?” Syera asked nervously.

“It’s alright, just play the notes on the piano while me and Spike do the rest.” Pinkie was dressed in some sort of old style black corset dress and stockings with a purple over dress and skirt on with a purple feather in her mane which was done up in a way a lady would look in a small settlement town back in the day. She motioned for Syera to start playing the notes as she poked her head through the curtain as the saiyan sat down in front of it.

Syera cracked her knuckles as the Super Saiyan started to play the notes in front of her for Pinkie’s song. As the curtains were pulled back, Pinkie came out of a clamshell sparkling and started to sing her song.

“We may be divided. But of you all, I beg~
To remember we're all hoofed At the end of each leg~” Pinkie extended her front and back leg as two of the settler pony's lifted her up and put her gently on the floor then ran off stage.

“No matter what the issue. Come from wherever you please. All this fighting gets you nothing.But hoof-and-mouth disease. Arguing's not the way. Hey, come out and play! It's a shiny, new day. So, what do you say?” She started popping up from outta nowhere, even from the Piano Syera was playing which shocked the saiyan a little but smiled to the crowd trying to keep cool and play the Piano, which is when Pinkie Pie got to the hook of the song.

“You gotta share. You gotta care. It's the right thing to do~!” She went on then continued the rest.

“You gotta share. You gotta care. And there'll always be a way through” Pinkie danced along with Spike as well as pop off stage and stuff an apple in Little Strongheart’s mouth as well as the town sheriff’s mouth too, then continued to dance with Spike and some of the settlers.

“Both our diets, I should mention. Are completely vegetarian. We all eat hay and oats, well besides Syera since she eats meat and other good things too, however you get my point and Why we shouldn’t be at each other's throat?” She told as she got to the final hook of the song.

“You gotta share, You gotta care. It's the right thing to do. And there'll always be a way Throooooooooooough!” And with that, Syera finished off with the Piano, however the reaction from the crowd before them, was dead silence. A small tumbleweed blew through the wind as a hawk flew above and chirped loudly. Syera saw this and went wide eyed since not a single soul clapped which made the Super Saiyan groan in despair since she knew this might happen.

Spike however was the only one to clap next to Pinkie Pie. “All right, Pinkie Pie! That was fantastic! What a great song! Yeah, right on!” he cheered but soon stopped as nopony else clapped with him.

“Uh Spike… I don’t anypony else is clapping~” Syera mentioned as she examined the crowd of ponies and buffalo. It was then Chief Thunderhooves as well as Sheriff Silverstar whispered amongst each other for a moment before speaking up and saying these words.

“It appears that Sheriff Silverstar and I have come to... an agreement.” Thunderhooves spoke

“We have.” The Sheriff added on and there was a long dramatic pause for what they were about to say. Which had everypony there on edge. Till finally they both spoke up saying;

“That was the worst performance we've ever seen.” Thunderhooves told.

“Teh... Abso-tively I reckon!” Silverstar was at a 100% agreement on that account, but for what came next, no pony was ready for except them.

“The time for action... Hmh... is upon us! Our stampede will start at high noon tomorrow. And if the orchard is still there, we'll flatten it... and the whole town!” The Chief spoke with seriousness, which caused everypony to gasp there on the spot.

“You wouldn’t! You can’t!” Syera spoke as she came close to the chief, The chief looked eye to eye with the Super Saiyan and sighed.

“I’m sorry warrior of gold, but we have no choice but to do so.” He spoke with once a serious tone.

“But, Chief!” Little Strongheart was objective to finding another way as well as Syera, Rainbow, Pinkie as well the rest were. But it was futile since the Sheriff seemed confident and accepting the buffalo’s threat as he countered with his own.

“An' we Appleloosans say you'd better bring yer best, 'cause we'll be ready and waitin'!” He shouted in the at Chief Thunderhooves as well as the rest of the buffalo there.

“But, Sheriff…” Braeburn wasn’t liking this idea either. And with that, the Buffalo had taken their leave and stayed promised to their threat as they stampeded out of town like a roaring thunderclap in a lightning storm.

“Oh... That wasn't the message of my song at all…” Pinkie said in a sad tone, which when Syera looked at her and smiled.

“You did all you could Pinks, but it looks like both sides have decided what they’re gonna do, and it seems we are caught right in the middle of it.” Syera said as she glared seriously as all of the Appleloosan settler ponies were preparing for battle… with wooden staked barriers across the town’s borders from the north, south, east and west. Also they seemed to stockpiling… Apple Pies?

“I want my kin ta' have what they need to live... but a storm's a-brewin' here. And I don't like the look of it.” Applejack said as she, Syera, Rarity, Twilight and Fluttershy were grouped together.

“We've just got to talk some sense into them before somepony gets hurt.” Twilight said.

“Yeah, easier said than done, it looks like everypony here is hell bent on preparing for war here tomorrow… at high noon…” Syera said with a bit of bass in her voice.

“Oo… Syera darling, please don’t say such a thing in such a voice. It gave me chills to say the least.” Rarity spoke to the saiyan in front of her.

“Oh? Sorry Rare~ Alright, look, how about you four try and talk some sense into these ponies while I go and check up on Pinkie, Rainbow Dash and Spike with the buffalo, that sound good?” Syera asked as she turned to look at the four ponies before her, they all nodded yes in agreement, then Syera used Instant Transmission to then teleport herself to the Buffalo camp, and when she did, she noticed two buffalo about to charge each other and she was smackdown in the middle.

“Huh!? Whoa!” Syera then did a horse stance and stiffened her arms outward to the side to stop the buffalo in their tracks. The two buffalo were dazed by the palms of Syera’s strong hands, it was like hitting a stone wall headfirst. They had a bit of a concussion from the looks of it. But they shook it off and apologized to her.

“It’s alright, I was kinda at fault since I just happened to teleport in the middle of you two.” Syera chuckled a bit as well as the buffalo, then they went back to doing what they were doing and charging each other, just without Syera in the middle. As the saiyan walked around, she saw the Buffalo also preparing for war, some marking themselves in facepaint while others were doing the same and doing charging exercises into each other’s crowns. Brutal to say the least.

“Isn't there someway to stop this?” Spike said as the saiyan walked up to him and Little Strongheart.

“Unless the settlers remove those trees, I do not think so.” Strongheart told while giving Spike a bowl of turquoise gems again and he started eating them.

“There has to be some sort of solution, and don’t worry you two, I will find it. Even it means sacrificing myself.” Syera said with such pride and devotion.

“Miss Syera please, you can’t, don’t say such things. Even though we’ve known each other for a short time, you and your friends and Spike here, I don’t want to lose you all.” Little Strongheart begged Syera if the time comes, she wouldn’t do anything drastic.

“I understand, but if the time comes, I know I’ve made the right choice since it was to protect all of you and probably stop this mini skirmish between your people and the Appleloosans.” Syera then clenched her fist out forward as she told this, which gave so much inspiration for Little Strongheart.

“I wish I could be like you Miss Syera, you’re so courageous and full of pride of those you love and protect.” Little Strongheart was so inspired that Syera was basically her idol.

“I appreciate the Inspiration you find about me Little Strongheart, really I do, but trust me, you wouldn’t want to be like me if you lived a life like mine. Anyway, I have to chat with the Chief, where is he?” Syera asked.

“He’s over there with Miss Rainbow Dash, and do you want me to cook you more food as well Miss Syera?” Little Strongheart asked.

“That sounds great, thank you. But still, after this day, I think I’ll cook you all something great cause when this all over, I wanna feast with all of you big time. And Mm… those Apple Pies back in Appleloosa seemed nice… sadly they’re using them as weapons…” Syera said this and Little Strongheart gasped at what she did state about the Appleloosans using pies for artillery.

“Wait, what do the Pies taste like?” Strongheart asked.

“Oh so delicious, so flaky as well as creamy and sugary with bit of a snap to them as the apples melt in your mouth with all the cinnamon and natural sugars are blended together, I prefer mine with Whip Cream on top. Oh man… now I have a taste for pie… actually don’t make me anything Little Strongheart, cause after I’m done talking with the chief, I’m gonna snag me a pie.” Syera said as she walked over to Rainbow Dash and Chief Thunderhooves.

“Please, Chief Thunderhooves, don’t do this, there has to be another solution for both you and the Settler ponies!” Syera went on, Rainbow Dash backed her up on the topic.

“I'm with our Super Saiyan friend here on this one, and I know you definitely don't want to do this either, right?” Rainbow asked as she sat right next to her.

“But they have taken our land. What would you have me do, you two?” The chief asked the Rainbow Dash and Syera. This caused the pegasus pony and saiyan to eye each other for a moment then back at the chief

“We don't know... but it's never too late to think of something right?” Rainbow Dash asked after telling Thunderhooves they have nothing as far as a plan yet.

“At noon…” He took a pause in his speech as he put on war paint of red and white on his face them spoke “It will be too late...” At this point, it really was too late since Syera and Rainbow Dash were both drawing blank shots on what to do at this point. And with Nightfall upon then, on a measly twelve hours remained as it was the now the stroke of midnight as they were thinking of a plan. They stayed up while the rest of the settler ponies in Appleloosa as well as the Buffalo in the wilds got their beauty rest.

“... Ah… Alright Rainbow, I’m gonna snag a pie from one of the storage houses in Appleloosa, you want one?” Syera asked as she stood up from the cliff edge they were sitting at.

“Hmm…. sure, I guess it would be nice to stuff our stomachs with something sweet before we have to potentially experience the bittersweet taste of war in about 12 hours, and counting.” It was then the two flew back to town at a high rate of speed before stepping in one of the warehouses where all the pies were stockpiled for ammo for the pony's to use against the buffalo.

The two took a pie each and toasted them and then began chowing down on em. Savoring each and every bite whole heartily. After they were down, they were laying on the ground with a sigh of relief.

“I think that hit the spot.” Rainbow Dash spoke licking her lips.

“Yeah, nothing’s better than a good apple pie… hmm… but sadly I’m still drawing a blank on what to do…” Syera said in disappointment as she sighed and closed her eyes.

“Yeah…” Rainbow Dash yawned before she could say more. “Me too… I think we should probably get some sleep while we can and think of a plan in the early morning.” the pegasus pony suggested.

“Yeah let’s do just that~” Syera said as she and the Pegasus pony then fell asleep inside the stockpile of Pies and other apple treats, it also appeared they each had more than one pie though, more like 3 or five for each of two. But there were still plenty to go around, if they were gonna be wasted on the buffalo tomorrow noon.

However, once the rising sun of Celestia came up and hit Syera and Rainbow Dash near the eyes from a nearby window in the storage barn full of pies. Syera slowly opened her eyes and rubbed them and she saw the clock from outside, she was then hit with shock at what time it was.

“Ahhhh!!? Rainbow Dash! Wake up! now!” Syera told as she shook the blue Pegasus awake next to her.

“Mm… five more minutes~” Rainbow grumbled.

“Sadly that’s all the time we have! get up now!” Syera shook her more and soon the blue pegasus’s eyes shot open as she flew upward quickly.

“What!? what time is it!?” Rainbow Dash asked.

“It’s 11:55am!” Syera said, but then it changed to 11:56 as she spoke.

“Crap! Now we only have 4 minutes! got any ideas?” Rainbow asked as the clock was ticking and the seconds counted down.

“Damn… I wish… come on, we gotta find the others fast!” Syera said as she kicked the door open in the storage barn, she also realized that all the pies are gone, the settler pony's must’ve taken them while they were sleeping. But they didn’t wake them both up… now they are against clock with this last minute plan of theirs, if there is one…

“Rainbow Dash! Syera, there you are, we were looking everywhere for you two!” Fluttershy said with a worried tone.

“Have y'all come up with a plan yet?” Applejack asked.

“If so please tell us…” Rarity pleaded, it was then Syera sighed with a shake of her head to the side a couple of times with her eyes closed.

The minutes ticked by, Rainbow was still not giving up as she tried her hardest on what to think of.

“Come on, think! Think, think, think, think, think, think, think!” Rainbow said batting her hoof on her forehead trying to think of something quick.

“We’re out of time…” Syera stated as the clock then reached 12 o’clock and chimed loudly that is was indeed “High Noon”

They all gulped nervously as the clock sounded and soon Chief Thunderhooves as well as Little Strongheart appeared on the south ridge of town, ready to stampede when ready with the rest of the buffalo by their side.

“Oh no… please… don’t do it…” Syera muttered in the back of her mind as she took a battle stance, spreading her legs to the side and clenching up her fists with her teeth bared and her expression in her eyes was a serious glare.

There was a brief pause and a moment of silence, the wind could be heard after the chiming of the clock stopped when it reached High Noon.

However, Little Strongheart gave a soft expression of concern that she does not want to do this, which caused the Chief to sigh a little, giving the group of pony's as well as the saiyan the sign he won’t signal the stampede.

“He's not gonna do it!” Rainbow Dash spoke.

“Oh.. thank Celestia’s sun he isn’t.” Syera said sighing in relief as she turned around and took a deep breath to calm herself, however it was too late to stay calm since a certain somepony thought it was a good idea to dress up and sing that ridiculous song again!

Syera gasped as well as everypony there and the Buffalo, the Super Saiyan turned around with shock in her face.

“what do you say? You gotta share, You gotta care. It's the right thing to do~” Pinkie went on with her outfit and obnoxious dance which was making the chief very angry.

“Pinkie Pie cut it out now! This isn’t the time!” Syera shouted out to the pink pony about her song.

“But Syera~ You gotta share, You gotta care, It's the right thing to do~” Pinkie said still singing her song.

“Grrr... Chaaarge!” Thunderhooves shouted out as all the buffalo did a war cry and began their forward Assault.

“NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!” Syera shouted out loudly, but it was too late. “Pinkie! Get out of the way now!”

“Wah-ahh! Whoa-oo-oo-oo-ooa!” However, Pinkie wasn’t fast enough and was bounced around on the buffalo's back sides and tossed around like a rag doll before they charged the town.

“Ready... aim... fire!” Sheriff Silverstar ordered as they had some pies in hoof and chucked them as well as other sweets at the incoming buffalo who were now charging the town at full force.

It was an all out brawl once they were in town. One of the buffalo was hit with a pie and he crashed himself silly in the clocktower, bringing it down to pieces.

“No no no! Darn Pinkie, why did you have to go and provoke him like that!?” Syera asked as she got the silly pink pony in question and saw the fighting and destruction that was unfolding.

“I… ugh… thought it would help him see my message better the second time around.” Pinkie said dazed as she then was laid down near Twilight and the others.

“Well no more… and I mean it Pinkie” Syera told as she looked over the fight but soon flared up her Super Saiyan aura.

“Wait~ Syera what are you about to do?” Twilight asked her sister worriedly.

“I’m ending this. Rainbow, get me a Pie!” Syera asked as her hand was open wide to grab one. There happened to be a few at Rainbow’s feet that were unscathed.

“Uh… sure, but what are you gonna do with it?” Rainbow asked after giving the Pie to the saiyan in question.

“Thanks, and you’ll see, just watch!” Syera then rushed through the battlefield, dodging every possible skirmish in her way, she then saw Chief Thunderhooves, and he was running at Sheriff Silverstar, who was now praying to Celestia for a miracle to happen. And that miracle happened to be Syera who used instant transmission to appear before him and Thunderhooves, Syera jumped up briefly, hauled back with her pie in hand, it was if time stood still for that moment till… it happened.

“HAAAAA!!!” Syera screamed as she threw the pie at a very great speed hitting direct on the face and knocking down Chief Thunderhooves dead in his tracks, the Apple Pie was splattered all over on his face, covering it with flaky crust and sugary cinnamon flavored Apple pieces.

It was then the Saiyan did a cartwheel in the air and landed on her feet in front of the knocked out Chief of the Buffalo. Her stern expression was already serious enough, most thought Syera might’ve killed the chief as there were cries from some of the buffalo, Spike even cried a little while hugging Twilight, but no he was just unconscious, for the moment.

Pieces of the pie dripped down his face till a crumb of the crust as well as some of the apple that were smashed in with it, hit his tongue and he got a taste of it.

“Hmph~ taste good doesn’t it?” Syera asked crossing her arms with a smile as Chief Thunderhooves soon opened his eyes andp shot up real quick and licked his face clean of all the pie and savored the flavor of it graciously.

“Oh by your words yes, Yum! Hey, I've got a much better idea!” Chief Thunderhooves then said and continued with “We... will allow the apple orchard to stay in exchange for a share of its fruit, and… heh... Those... delicious apple pies!” With that said the whole town cheered that the peace between the two will be forever unbroken.

Soon later, some of the trees were relocated so a forward stampeding path for the Buffalo could be formed and it was straight flat land path forward for them to run to their heart’s content. At the end of it, each Buffalo was given one of the Apple pies as promised.

Rainbow Dash lead the buffalo to their stampeding path so they could run it till the cows come home. And of course, they each got pie as mentioned in the agreement. And by Celestia they sure loved those Apple Pies.

However Spike begged a differ on his taste buds.

“I'd rather eat turquoise any day of the week.” He told as he chomped down on more of aqua colored gemstones. “Auhh...!” he murmured out as he enjoyed their flavor.

“True, but I’d say that’s because you’re a dragon after all Spike.” Syera said as she had a pie in her hand and ate it gracefully with a fork. “Mm~ so good~” the Super Saiyan remarked as she took the last few bits of the pie before disposing of the pie tin.

With Bloomberg also being planted in his own special spot in the orchard, Applejack was so happy that he now has a new home to grown and produce more yummy apples.

As the last few buffalo came around and Twilight finished up her letter to the Princess. Syera wondered how the future would turn out for the settler ponies of Appleloosa as well as the native buffalo who’ve roamed these lands for generations. Only the future holds the answer which has yet to come.

“Hey! Miss Syera!” Little Strongheart called out to the Super Saiyan as she, Rainbow Dash and Applejack were with her.

“Come on Syera, let’s have a little race!” Rainbow Dash told her.

“You bet! let’s go!” Syera said as she, Rainbow Dash, Little Strongheart and Applejack ran off on the forward stampede path and ran and ran and ran till the sun was over the horizon and beyond.

"Hmph I guess it is true, You got to share, you got to care-" Syera said to herself outloud as she looked around and saw how the buffalo and settler ponies now get along, as now she gliding along side her friends as they ran the trail the buffalo stampded upon.

"Hey! That's what I said!" Pinkie said popping right behind the Saiyan as she said her line.

"Ah?! Pinkie, were you always there?" Syera chuckled nervously as she stopped along the trail and Pinkie got off her back.

"Maybe, it's my little secret~ But seriously, don't take my lines as your own!" Pinkie glared at the Saiyan who chuckled again more nervous than before.

"Ok Pinkie I won't, I was just remembering your song and how everything turned out. Though your song was a bit obnoxious to say the least." Syera told.

"I may have been seen that way but you know I was sincere at heart right?" Pinkie gave a cute face with her eyes sparkling and her bottom lip puckered up, almost like a begging puppy.

"We all know you were, and we love you for it Pinks, now, I got a race to finish, wanna join?" Syera said as she was ready to catch up with the others.

"Sure!" Pinkie agreed and a few moments later, Pinkie and Syera were now caught up with Little Strongheart, Rainbow Dash and Applejack as they ran the trail with the Buffalo Stampede.

Now, what will be next for Syera as well her friends and her sister Twilight?

Find out, Next time!

Chapter 20: The Marks of Destiny! The Rainbow that concludes a Precursor Friendship!

Last Time on Syera: The Equestrian Saiyan!

After loading Applejack’s prized tree she named “Bloomberg”, Syera as well as Twilight Sparkle and the rest of their friends were now outbound on a train south to Appleloosa. Home to some of the Apple Family and many other settler pony's who want to start fresh new life out in the new untamed wilds of Equestria.

However, on the overnight train ride down to Appleloosa, the gang had unexpected visitors bombard the train, the great Buffalo tribe. They ended up taking the last car of the train that not only held Applejack’s tree named Bloomberg, but also Spike, who Syera ended up using Instant Transmission to get inside the car with him to protect him as well as the tree from harm if needed once the Buffalo explained themselves to Syera and Spike.

Only to find out there is a little war happening with the Settler ponies and Buffalo. And the outcome came out to be a full on brawl between the two. However, Syera ended up cutting it short with one small little action that seemed so unexpected yet so clear.

Hit the leader of the Buffalo, Chief Thunderhooves in the face with a Pie! An Apple Pie at that, however, the force of the saiyan knocked him down hard in his tracks as he charged at Silverstar, the Sheriff of the town of Appleloosa.

This stopped the conflict entirely, not only did Chief Thunderhooves get hit with that Pie at such a force and speed, hot a sample taste of it which brought him to his senses and got a great idea for both sides to agree on without violence.

Now the Settler Ponies of Appleloosa and the Buffalo now both have something they each want, The Appleloosans get to keep their prize apple orchard and the buffalo have a path in a section of it for then to run.

Shortly after Bloomberg, Applejack’s tree was re-planted there in the orchard in his own little spot atop a hill with a little help from the Super Saiyan, Syera and Applejack as well as everypony else said their goodbyes to everypony in town as well as the Buffalo and headed on home back to Ponyville.

“Hmm, Pinkie Pie, you were right all along. You got to Share, and you got to Care.” Applejack said as she recalled Pink’s song from before.

“I know! I just knew it all along that the solution was perfect to everypony here~ Now let’s head home!” Pinkie said with a hop and skip and jump as she got aboard the train ride bound for Ponyville.

Before Syera got on, Little Strongheart tapped her leg. “Miss Syera, will you come back and visit us?” She asked a bit worried. Syera smiled at this and kneeled down and hugged the young buffalo and then looked her in the eyes as well as the rest of the buffalo and pony's around the train station.

“You bet, I’d do it again in a heartbeat once the opportunity comes, however our stay here has come to the end of the line. But don’t worry, I’ll be back one day, that’s a promise.” Syera then stood up and waved goodbye to her as well as everypony else, and with that, the Super Saiyan went aboard the train and left with her friends. Only this time around… Rarity was able to use the private car Bloomberg had, only to her use it was totally different. And Spike was the one to read her a bedtime story.

“Ahahahaha~ Seriously Spike? You and Applejack must have something in common when reading bedtime stories to ones you love.” Syera said as Spike came back from the private car with a book in his hands.

“Yeah yeah, keep talking~ but ahh… it was so worth it since I got a kiss goodnight from Rarity from the way I read this story, one of her favorites too.” Spike showed the book.

“Hmph~ alright, Romeo and Juliet? Really now? Interesting, hey, isn’t this one of your favorites too?” Syera asked but was shushed by Spike to keep it down, since Everypony else was now asleep. This just caused a smirk to form across Syera’s face and chuckle before turning over and going to sleep after saying Goodnight to the dragon she considered a little brother.

The only thoughts going through her head was how time will unfold now onward once they get back to Ponyville. And what will play forward as the Grand Galloping Gala is only a fortnight away. What’s gonna happen leading up?

Find out, Now!

"The Marks of Destiny! The Rainbow that concludes a Precursor Friendship!”

Now that Syera and her friends returned to Ponyville, she as well as her friends have enjoyed their time of peace before the Grand Galloping Gala that is coming very soon.

Now, Syera is continuing her day with a bit of Training. She was now out in a specific part of the outskirts of Ponyville meditating amongst nature and the elements. Breathing in and out peacefully and calmly, only to be interrupted by a sudden drop from above involving three little fillies.

Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom came rushing down from the trees working. Syera looked and saw this, it was if Time stood still as she rushed with lightning speed to catch each of them before they got hurt badly.

“Whoa!” Scootaloo was shocked by her sudden stop by the saiyan’s left hand

“Oh!” Sweetie Belle was caught in Syera’s right hand.

“Wah!” Applebloom landed on Syera back.

“Hmph, it's a long way down to just drop-in like that girls~” Syera said as she then let the three little fillies down out of her grasp.

“Syera!” They all screamed and hugged her as a thank you.

“Anyway, what were you three little ones doing up in the trees?” Syera asked them as she pointed upward with her index finger.

“Oh~ we were just trying out a new task to potentially get our Cutie Marks!” Applebloom explained as they were now covered in sap and pine needles.

“Oh? Did you find any success in this attempt?” the saiyan asked, which is when all three of them looked at their flanks.

“Heh…, just tree sap and pine needles but no cutie mark.” Scootaloo explained for the three of them.

“Plan B?” Sweetie Belle asked Scootaloo about this Plan B.

“Yeah. Hey Syera, you know where we can find a cannon at this hour?” Scootaloo asked which caused the Saiyan to chuckle yet facepalm.

“Well… not right now, unless Pinkie is using her Party Cannon at this very moment for something I’d think you’re out of luck.” Syera told with a bit of a laugh.

“It's no use! No matter what we try, we always end up without our cutie marks. And, surprisingly often, covered in tree sap.” Scootaloo told with distress as she then took off her helmet as well as the others did, Apple Bloom then got a few buckets of water with some rags so they could clean themselves off.

“You girls ever consider something less life threatening and dangerous maybe?” Syera asked with a bit of a chuckle.

“Hey, Syera’s right, maybe we should do something less dangerous, like pillow testing or flower sniffing.” Sweetie Belle went with the suggestion Syera gave.

“We can do that, or consider this; This town is full of ponies who have their cutie marks. Why don't we ask them how they did it?” Apple Bloom suggested as well.

“That's a great safe idea.” Sweetie Belle was on board with this idea.

“Yeah! And we can start with the coolest pony in Ponyville.” Scootaloo suggested.

“Hmph, I see who you’re getting at.” Syera already knew the answer when she said “the coolest pony” right away.

“Applejack!” Apple Bloom said first
“Rarity!” Sweetie Belle said right after.

“Come on, guys, I said "cool"! You know who I'm talking about. She's fast. She's tough. She's doesn’t afraid of anything!” Scootaloo said as she hovered above the ground briefly and skidded her still tree sap covered front hooves across the ground back and forth as she explained.

“Pinkie Pie?” Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle both asked.

“Heh, you’re half right when it comes to all those things with Pinkie, but the cool factor you two, who considers themselves super cool?”

“Syera’s right, also she is The greatest flyer ever to come out of Cloudsdale.” Scootaloo gave them one last hint.

“Fluttershy?” Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle both gave their final answer, which caused Syera and Scootaloo to look at each other before falling over laughing super hard.

“No you two! Rainbow Dash!” Syera and Scootaloo both said with such laughter in their voices as they regained their composure.

“Oh! Yeah, that makes much more sense.” Apple Bloom agreed with Rainbow Dash in telling them that they need to go to her to learn the ways of getting a cutie mark.

“Of course!” Sweetie Belle saw it too.

“Then it’s settled! Let's find out how Rainbow Dash earned her cutie mark!” Scootaloo told making their decision final.

“Yeah!” Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle both said as they hoof bumped Scootaloo’s two front hooves as she had them sticking outward.

“Aah! Uuh! Ouagh….” They all sighed out in defeat once they knew they were stuck.

“Need help from an opposable pair of hands girls?” Syera asked as she had one of the buckets filled with fresh water and the one rag cleaned and ringed out of sap and goop.

“Mhm~” They all nodded, which is when Syera got to work cleaning each of their hooves to get rid of all of the sappy sticky tree sap and pine needles. Making their hooves squeaky clean.

“There we go, nifty clean~” Syera said in a funny voice as she saw herself in their clean shiny hooves.

“Thanks Syera, do you wanna come with us in our quest to find out how Rainbow Dash got her cutie mark?” Scootaloo asked after the saiyan dumbed the water and junk on the ground away from them and rung out the rag before tossing it to the side with Scootaloo’s scooter and their bag of materials they used for doing their crusading work.

“Sure, I was just finishing up my training when you three dropped in on me. I’ll tag along, I honestly am a bit interested to know how Rainbow Dash did get her special talent.” Syera then did a few leg stretches as she crouched downward, as well as a few crutches and stretches.

“Alright, ready to go when you girls are.” Syera told cracking her knuckles.

“Come on Crusaders! Syera and the three of us got a mission to go on! Onward!” Scootaloo then got on her scooter while Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle then got in the wagon attached to it. Syera however just glided across the ground following them at a good pace of speed as they got back to Ponyville.

However once they were on the border of Ponyville and the outskirts, they all came to a surprising halt when a couple of bunnies were off running away with a few apples. Syera was just as surprised to see them as the Crusaders were. though they did not expect what would happen next.

“Get back here, you thievin' varmints!” The voice called out from the bushes which seemed to be Applejack incoming towards them.

“Thievin' what now?” Apple Bloom asked confused which is when Syera snapped to the right after the bunnies ran away with their loot of apples and saw Applejack topple on top of them in a bit of a crash.

“Apple Bloom? Syera?” Applejack asked as she was on top of the saiyan and she had Applebloom on top of her while Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle were picking themselves up after the impact.

“Hey sis! How'd you get your cutie mark?” Apple Bloom asked before any more other questions could be asked.

“I never told you that story?” Applejack asked as she looked at her Cutie Mark for a brief moment.

“Hey! I thought we were gonna ask Rainbow Dash.” Scootaloo complained.

“We need all the help we can get.” Apple Bloom told.

“A little extra help in your journey won’t hurt” Syera told as she got up off the ground as Applejack got off with Apple Bloom. And the fillies sat next to each other, Scootaloo still not wanting to hear the story but had no choice.

“Ugh. Fine.” Scootaloo submitted and listened to AJ’s story.

“Syera, you sure you wanna hear this story too?” Applejack asked the Saiyan.

“By all means AJ, tell er’ away~” Syera said in a bit of an accent like Applejack’s which is when the two shared a brief laugh, then Applejack told her story.

“Why, shoot. I was just a little filly. Even littler than y'all.” Applejack then paused for a moment before continuing as she reminiscent this part in her life.

“At the time, I didn't want to spend my life on a muddy old apple farm. I wanted to live the sophisticated life, like my Aunt n' Uncle Orange. So I set out to try my luck in the big city, Manehattan! The most cosmopolitan city in all of Equestria.” Applejack explained.

“Oh wow~ really you? Living the life an upbeat pony, sounds like Rarity to be honest, how did it turn out?” Syera asked.

“Well at first when I arrived at my Aunt ‘n” Uncle Orange’s place, life for me definitely took a turn around drastically, at first I thought it was amazing but then I realized how much hard work it was… being one of the… “Sophisticated” as I like to call em.” Applejack went on as her life being such a pony with such a personality wasn’t easy at all coming from where she was from here in Ponyville.

“Sounds rough… “ Syera said with a bit of a worried tone.

“Yeah it was… to the point where… I was home sick and let me tell ya~ I never felt so homesick in all my days as I did right then. However… Bam! It was amazin'! A rainbow pointin' right back to... home. In that moment, it all became clear. I knew right then just who I was supposed to be.” Applejack told as she packed her things up and left back to Ponyville and too Sweet Apple Acres, home for her.

“That's when this here appeared. And since then, I've been happily working in the farm ever since”. She told as she lifted her hind leg up and to the side displaying her Cutie mark, the story itself was so… amazing, yet the part with the Rainbow seemed… pretty familiar to Syera somehow. But before the saiyan could ask any more questions. The bunnies from before with the apples then taunted Applejack by blowing raspberries at her then ran off.

“There they are! Get back here, ya thievin' varmints!” She screamed as she was now in hot pursuit of the little rascals who had her Apples.

“Aw. That was such a sweet story!” Sweetie Belle remarked on how well done and beautiful such a story was that Applejack told.

“Sweet? Try sappy.” Scootaloo said as she wasn’t one for affection to begin with it seems. “Come on! We've got to find Rainbow Dash and hear the cool way to get a cutie mark.” Scootaloo said as she got back on her scooter as well as the other other two.

“Uhh, you coming Syera?” Sweetie Belle asked as the Saiyan was in deep thought.

“Hmm? Oh yeah, sorry girls, just in deep thought about something, not important. Let’s go!” Syera told as then the gang of crusaders and saiyan were off once again on their quest to find out how Rainbow Dash got her infamous cutie mark.

“So Syera, how do you think Rainbow Dash got her Cutie Mark?” Apple Bloom asked the Saiyan who glided beside them.

“Hmm… well, I can say that it must’ve been something Rainbow Dash material, in short, it must’ve been something really cool.” Syera told her with a smile.

“Oh yeah, most definitely knowing Rainbow Da- Whoa!?” Scootaloo screamed which caused Syera and the others to look ahead and see what looked like Fluttershy. It was then Syera grabbed the three and the scooter and wagon and hopped over the timid yellow pegasus. Followed by landing on the ground behind her with the three little fillies, scooter and wagon. It seems that Fluttershy was directing some little ducklings across the pathway to a small little pond.

“All right, little ones. This way. This way.” She said to the little ducklings and soon after they crossed safely, the yellow pegasus turned her attention to Syera and the Crusaders. “You four really should be more careful. Somepony could get hurt. Why are you in such a hurry anyway?”

Scootaloo then answered the question of why they were going so fast. “We're trying to find Rainbow Dash, so we can hear how she earned her cutie mark.”

“Yeah, I’m kinda along for the ride on this one since these little ones want a good story, and so do I.” Syera added to Scootaloo’s claim.

“Oh, that would be interesting. You know, I wouldn't have gotten my cutie mark if it weren't for her.” Fluttershy told which shocked each of the four before her.

“Rainbow Dash?!” Scootaloo questioned with excitement.

“Really now? When was this?” Syera asked.

“Oh yes indeed. It all started at Summer Flight Camp.” Fluttershy said while taking a moment before speaking once more. “You'd never guess, but when I was little I was very shy. And a very weak flyer.”

“Shy yes, but a weak flyer huh? You don't seem it now cause you can really fly Fluttershy” Syera told her timid pegasus pony friend who blushed a little.

“Thanks Syera, however… not many fillies thought the same as you and bullied me for it.” Fluttershy told which was indeed very sad.

“Oh no… I wanna say I believe it but I don’t want to, cause you’re a great flyer, no matter how shy you were.” Syera complimented Fluttershy again.

“You aren’t the first to say so, since the only one who stood up and helped me through flight school was… Rainbow Dash! Who later challenged the bullies to a race to get them to knock off the bullying on me.” Fluttershy explained.

“Ha! Now that sounds like the Rainbow Dash we all know. So what happened next?” Scootaloo asked.

“Oh… I’m not so sure because when the race started after I gave the signal, I was met with incredible force of Rainbow Dash making me fall off of the cloud and to the ground below.” She told.

“Oh no~ were you able to fly to stop your fall?” Syera asked worriedly.

“Yes, kinda. You see, my fall was broken by a flock of butterflies just before I hit the ground and I was carried by them for a short distance. And let me tell you this, at the time, I had never seen such beautiful creatures. Butterflies don't fly as high as my cloud home. And I'd never been near the ground before. And I remember briefly the words I said at that moment. It was this” Fluttershy then explained then paused for a moment and cleared her throat then began what seemed to be one of the most beautiful symphony ever witnessed by anypony.

“What is this place? Filled with so many wonders?Casting its spell, That I am now under.
Squirrels in the trees; And the cute little bunnies
Birds flying free; And bees with their honey”

“Hooooonneeeeeeey!” After she said that she danced around a little as if living the moment right then and there.

“Oooh, what a magical place; And I owe it all to the Pegasus race. If I knew the ground had so much up its sleeve, I'd have come here sooner, and never leave. Yes, I. love. ev-er-ythiiiiing!”

It was then Syera as well as Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle applauded for the yellow pegasus and cheered a little since it was so beautiful.

“Thank you, you’re too kind~” Fluttershy said softly as she looked to the side blushing a little.

“So, besides the sappy song of nature you sung, what happened next?” Scootaloo asked.

“Well, the next thing I remember was this big boom and then out came a rainbow like none other I’ve ever seen before. However it did frighten most of the poor animals and they began to hide and run away to cover. Though, it was then I softly came up to each of them that everything is ok, and there is no reason to hide or be afraid.” Fluttershy told with a smile as three butterflies hovered above her and soon landed on top of her mane and backside and slowly fluttered their wings.

“That Rainbow~” Syera muttered to herself.

“Hmm? What about a rainbow Syera?” Apple Bloom asked.

“Well… honestly I’m not so sure just yet, I don’t wanna flat out say this but I think there’s a connection to Fluttershy’s and Applejack’s stories on how they each got their cutie marks with the mention of a Rainbow, but It can’t be just a coincidence, I think it's something more, but I can’t prove it yet without more proof.” Syera told, which got everypony there thinking for a moment, till Fluttershy spoke up.

“Maybe, I think it be one big connection if you can prove it, but how are you going to Syera?” Fluttershy asked.

“I can’t be sure yet, but I’m pretty sure if we hear Rainbow Dash’s story, I’ll know a bit more”. Syera told.

“You’re right Syera, if we can find her that is. Well, let’s get a move on, Crusaders. We've gotta find her. Besides, I can't take anymore singing…” Scootaloo told.

“Maybe my sister knows where she is. Bye, Fluttershy!” Sweetie Belle told and said her goodbye to Fluttershy as did the others.

“Yeah, maybe Rarity does, hopefully. And yeah, see you around Fluttershy!” Syera told as she too took off with the cutie mark crusaders on their quest to find Rainbow Dash.

“Bye, girls!” Fluttershy said with a smile as she waved a hoof and got back to tending and caring the animals around her.

“I just hope we can find out where Rainbow Dash is, I wonder, do you three think Rarity might have an interesting story on her Cutie Mark?” Syera asked Sweetie Belle.

“I sure hope so, knowing my sister it will be cause she’s amazing at what she does!” Sweetie Belle was confident her sister would have a great story to tell on her cutie mark. Upon arrival on Carousel Boutique, the four conquestors in search of Rainbow Dash were kinda stopped in their tracks when asked to get into a bit of a dressmaking project Rarity had going on.

“How did we get roped into this? Oh, we'll never hear Rainbow Dash's story.” Scootaloo complained.

“Are you three girls still obsessing over your cutie marks?” Rarity asked as she got the measurements and bases on each of their bodies to get the dress designs she had in mind into effect.

“Of course! Most of the fillies at school already have theirs.” Sweetie Belle told which made them feel even more discouraged but more ready to find their special talent.

“Yeah, speaking of the subject of Cutie Marks, Rarity, you wouldn’t happen to have a story involving how you got yours, would you?” Syera asked with a smile as she asked about her elegant unicorn friend in a sing song voice.

“Actually I do indeed darling, and quite frankly it's very similar to these three young ones here because…” She took a pause as she remembered every single detail of how she earned her special talent. “For the longest time I couldn't figure out why I didn't have mine.”

“Oh? What was the sitch Rare?” Syera asked.

“Well the “sitch” as you put it was, at the time I was designing dresses for the school play at the time and I wanted to make them spectacular, to make them shine like no other! However when the teacher told me about them, she said they looked “Nice” of all things!” Rarity went on.

“I suppose “Nice” wasn’t the word you were look for was it?” Syera asked.

“Oh by far darling, I was so obsessed with making them beautiful and so one of a kind it drove me insane! Due to the fact I tried every trick I could think of, but nothing seemed to work. The costumes just weren't right. And the play opened that following night! I simply had to find a way to spruce things up, I was out of ideas until… It happened!” Rarity told, which confused the four others in the room.

“Uh… till what happened Rarity?” Apple Bloom asked.

“My horn! It started radiate with feriousity! Also to say the least, it started to take me on a bit of a drag I shall say. I had no idea where my horn was taking me. But unicorn magic doesn't happen without a reason. I knew this had to do with my love of fashion and maybe even my cutie mark! I knew that this was... My destiny!” Rarity said then paused.

“Um… what was your destiny then Rarity?” Syera asked crossing her arms.

“A rock! A giant grotess rock!” Rarity told with a serious expression. This confused the three fillies and the Saiyan, however they looked at each other and fell over laughing hard.

“Oh yes, laugh it up, but I am not finish yet, do you want to hear the rest of my tale or not?” Rarity asked with a bit of a strict tone.

“Yeah, sorry Rarity, just I wasn’t expecting a rock to be your destiny~” Syera said wiping a tear away from her eye from laughing so hard.

“Well, maybe I should’ve been more precise in my wording, since it wasn’t the rock that was my destiny, it was what was inside the giant rock!” Rarity told, which then caught their attention.

“Of course I was angry at my horn since this rock was useless to me in its current state, however, before I made my leave back home, a giant explosion and shockwave came with a rainbow, it was so beautiful and divine like no other I ever seen. The force of whatever caused it broke the rock in half and inside of the mighty stone were jewels, so many wonderful sparkling jewels that radiated in my eyes and I just knew that these were what I needed! So I came back with a wagon, loaded the gems inside it and began to work. And may I tell you, those outfits were divine, oh I am so glad i made them, because shortly after the school play, this here showed up.” She told as she pointed to her cutie mark.

“Whoa~ amazing Rarity.” Apple Bloom told.

“Yeah truly, right Syera?! Um… Syera, you ok?” Sweetie Belle asked the saiyan who was in deep thought processing something in her mind.

“No… that can’t be~ The mention of a Rainbow with similar description~” Syera murmured to herself.

“Syera darling, are you alright? And what’s this mentioning about Rainbows now?” Rarity asked worriedly.

“It's just that, you, Applejack and Fluttershy’s cutie mark story all talk about a Rainbow, and how it helped you show who you truly are and your destiny.” Syera told.

“Hmm… yes that does seem to be a coincidence indeed, you think it maybe something more?” Rarity asked.

“I’m not so sure, I can’t conclude anything if I don’t have more evidence to support my claim that you three saw the same Rainbow.” Syera told.

“I have to agree, but I do hope you find what you need to prove it true Syera.” Rarity told, then Scootaloo groaned a little in annoyance and then said.

“Ugh! These namby-pamby stories aren't getting us any closer to our cutie marks! They're all about finding who you really are and boring stuff like that!” She went on, Rarity then tried telling her.

“Yes, Scootaloo, that's exactly…” However, Rarity was cut off when she stormed the other two out the door and rambled on saying

“Come on, girls! We need action! We need Rainbow Dash! You coming Syera?” Scootaloo asked.

“Yeah! I catch up don't worry.” Syera said as she then looked at Rarity and shrugged chuckling a little since they both know, that the key with a cutie mark is finding out who you really are and your destiny. Who you are meant be, sure it may seem boring to know, but they’ll understand one day once their older and do have their Cutie Marks.

“You better catch up with them to find Rainbow Dash, also I get a feeling you’ll know what’s what with this Rainbow you're chasing Syera.” Rarity told with a smile. Syera gave a thumbs up and hugged her friend before running out the room and down the stairs of her boutique and joining the rest of the girls downstairs before they go.

“So any ideas on where we could find Rainbow Dash girls?” Scootaloo asked.

“Hmmm… maybe we can ask Twilight.” Apple Bloom suggested.

“Yeah that’s a great idea! I think she’s out for lunch right now, and I just know where, let’s get going you three! Follow me!” Syera told as she had the Crusaders follow her now to their next lead, Twilight Sparkle, sister of Syera and one of the most amazing unicorns in Ponyville.

Once at the place of dining Syera knew her sister Twilight would be at. They all greeted each other and soon sat down and ordered some food.

“Ok Twilight, there is a serious question these three fillies wanna ask you.” Syera told.

“Oh? What is it you wanted to ask my little ponies?” Twilight looked at the three fillies who were in question.

“How. Did. You. Get. Your. Cutie-Mark?” They all asked in quick concession of each other but ended saying together the part with “Cutie” and “Mark”

“It goes something like this~” Twilight told as she took a moment to remember and then she spoke. “As a young filly in Canterlot, I always wanted to go to the Summer Sun Celebration, where Princess Celestia raises the sun. You can ask Syera how I prepared for that very single day.” She chuckled and Syera could only sigh and shake her head.

“Yeah, she would keep me up all night long for days at a time till finally it was the day. I mean at first I thought it was bad but eventually we clicked and got to talk about stuff, laugh and even play card games. And when the day came, we skedaddled right over to where the event was held that day. When was that again?” Syera asked.

“It was… gosh 12… no 13 years now. Gosh, time flies by. Anyway, when we got there in the midst of the crowd, Syera and I saw the most amazing, most wonderful thing we’ve ever seen”.

“Yes truly, I mean as soon as we heard those trumpets roar their music, and Princess Celestia appear before the crowd and raise the sun with her magic. It was incredible! Though what happens next was kinda annoying at first however I got used it.” Syera told crossing her arms.

“Hehe, yeah because after such an event, my mind was filled with nothing but to learn magic to its fullest. I poured myself into learning everything I could about it. I spend days, weeks even reading, writing, note taking. What had my poor sis upset was I’d make her stay up and help me take notes and… erm… practice certain spells”. She explained which made Syera frown a little and she smiled nervously.

“Yes… all true, some of them actually hurt, really bad. But over time, my strength built up to where I was pretty much immune to most Magic spells.” Syera explained as she then smiled a little.
“Soon after sometime, our parents decided to enroll me in Princess Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns. It was a dream come true!” Twilight explained.

“Yeah it was, and somehow I got enrolled in it too, even though I wasn’t a unicorn.” Syera told.

“However, when we did get enrolled, we had go do one thing to get us in... We had to pass an entrance exam!” Twilight exclaimed.

“And believe me… it was hard, especially for Twilight.” Syera put her arm around her sis and they both smiled.

“Yes… it was tragic, my test involved hatching an egg, and not just any ordinary egg, it was a Dragon Egg!” Twilight explained.

“You got three guesses on who’s egg that was crusaders.” Syera told and the three thought about it for a moment. It was when Sweetie Belle answered first.

“Ooo! Spike’s egg! right?” She asked.

“Yes~ however… hatching him and giving life to him was a challenge… I tried every bit of ounce of Magic I had… but it was hopeless…” Twilight told and the crusaders seemed sad for her.

“However… bam! It happened! An explosion of great proportions followed by a Rainbow, the shock of it hit me and filled my entire body with Magic power that I quickly hatched Spike almost instantly.” Twilight told which had the crusaders’ attention.

“I remember! That was one of the most craziest things I’ve ever seen you do Twilight, it was when your Magic started to overflow with power like no other~ Even now looking back, everyone was in danger since you transformed Spike into a giant dragon, you turned our folks into Plants and the instructors were caught in some sort of force field… And your magic hit me, it got absorbed in my body when it struck me like Lightning. It made me hit the wall… All I remember was feeling… sadness, anger, that I lost it all since your magic changed everything. However it all snapped, I blacked out after that, but the feeling of it. It was like… this” Syera then stood up from the table and quickly transformed.

“Hmph~” She stood perfectly still and her hair changed from black to light blonde in a flash. Her aura a light gold. “This was what I was told by our parents and the instructors as well as Princess Celestia who walked in the room and saw the whole situation.”

“Wait, so you became in a sense, a Super Saiyan?” Twilight asked.

“Yes… but this state of it is a very weak form since the user will have little control over it. It’s based on emotion and just pure anger.” Syera explained.

“So in a sense, instead of being Gold, it's this light blonde colour?” Twilight asked

“Yes… however ugh~ I get headaches when I transform using half its potential since it causing me a lot of stress to hold it… agh…” Syera then let the form go and her hair turned back to normal.

“Yeah and the clothes you have on were practically torn to shreds afterwards I remember. But the room became peaceful when Princess Celestia did enter the room. She put a hoof on my side and I looked at her, every thing was then calm and the outrage of magic power I had subsided… I felt so sorry since I hurt our parents, the instructors, and even my sister Syera.” Twilight hugged her saiyan sis dearly.

It was if Twilight and Syera both lived that moment, Syera saw her sister stop and she ran up and hugged her like they are now.

“Twilight Sparkle. Syera Sparkle.” Princess Celestia both called the two young ones names as they both looked at each other still in embrace, then the Princess.

‘Oh, I'm so so sorry... I didn't mean…” Twilight told.

“Yeah she didn’t mean any harm really!” Syera explained, unaware her hair was still the light blonde it was.

“You two both share a very special gift. I don't think I've ever come across anypony or any being with your raw abilities.

“Huh?” They both said.

“But you two need to learn to tame these abilities through focused study and practice.”

“Huh?!” Syera and Twilight both shrieked out in unison once more.

“Twilight and Syera Sparkle, I'd like to make you two my own personal protégés here at the school.”

“Huh?!” Once again the two shrieked with shocked expressions.

“Well?” Princess Celestia asked with a smile, the two young ones looked at each other for a brief moment before both jumping up and shouting

“Yes!” at the top of their lungs with excitement. But before they both could celebrate, Celestia had one more thing to say to Twilight.

“One other thing, Twilight.” She said.
“More…?” Twilight asked as the Princess pointed a hoof to the young Twilight’s flank.

“Wait is that what I think it is!?” Syera asked surprised.

“Yes! My cutie mark! Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes!” She went on and on, however Syera then felt light headed from all the excitement and soon passed out on her back, her hair returned to normal. This caused Twilight to put a pause in her joy since her sister just lost consciousness!

“No no no! Syera!” Twilight called out as she stopped bouncing and held her sister up.

“Its ok, she just needs a little rest and she will be fine. Though I do suggest getting her new clothes since the ones she is currently wearing are torn to pieces practically. And I expect to see you in class the coming Monday morning at 7:00.” With that said and done, The two were accepted to the school, Twilight got her cutie mark. The little unicorn still mumbled to herself saying…

“Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes!” Even now as the food was arriving for them to eat. The waiter as well as everypony else looked her way as well as Syera and the crusaders.

“Are you okay?” he asked.

“Hehe.. um, yes.” Twilight told as she calmed herself down.

“Yes Twilight, we get it, you were thrilled to get your cutie mark. But man, I much rather hear Rainbow Dash’s story than this one!” Scootaloo complained.

“Come on, we gotta find her! You coming with us Syera?” Scootaloo asked.

“Well of course, but can we EAT first please!?” Syera asked as her stomach growled and she had ordered a feast to be reckoned with. Of course the crusaders and Twilight ate their meals but seeing how much Syera was eating made them just stop and look as well as other ponies around them. Plate after Plate, bowl after bowl of food, just consumed from one individual. After around 150 bits worth of food and appetizers later, Syera was done eating.

“Phew~ that filled a hole.” Syera said licking her lips then using a napkin to clean her mouth with. It was then after paying the bill, Syera said her goodbyes to her sister and followed the crusaders to find Rainbow Dash.

Syera was still in deep thought on the Rainbow situation and it was becoming more and more clear on what happened that day to each of friends as well as her sister Twilight. However, did Rainbow Dash’s story involve a Rainbow, that has yet to be told.

“Ugh! Why don't we ever smash into Rainbow Dash?!” Scootaloo complained, however a voice spoke behind Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle in the wagon.

“You're looking for Rainbow Dash? If I was her, I'd be at Sugarcube Corner. Of course, if I was anyone, I'd be at Sugarcube Corner. Hey! I have an idea! Wanna go to Sugarcube Corner?” It was Pinkie Pie who had a helmet on like the rest of the crusaders riding in the wagon Scootaloo was hauling with her Scooter.

“Pinkie Pie?!” Syera asked surprised.

“Yup, that’s my name” Pinkie told.

“When did you get in the Wagon with Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle?” Syera asked.

“Hehe~ oh Silly I was here the whole time, you just never noticed me since I kept extra quiet. Oh and my energy signature was suppressed so you couldn’t sense me Syera.” Pinkie explained.

“Wait… you can suppress your energy?” Syera asked shocked.

“Yup~ so what you four doing besides running around Ponyville?” Pinkie asked.

“Well if you’ve been with us the whole time, you’d know we're sort of looking for Rainbow Dash, so we can hear how she got her cutie mark”. Sweetie Belle explained.

“Cutie mark? Ooo! Listen to me and I'll tell you how I got mine!” Pinkie told which grabbed everypony’s attention except Scootaloo’s at first but she soon gave in and accepted to hear her tale.

“Ugh… fine~” Scootaloo said in defeat.

“Alright!” Pinkie said in joy. “Ok so it all started with my sisters and I.” She told and took a moment to remember vividly on the event of which unfolded. “Were raised on a rock farm outside of Ponyville. We spent our days working the fields. There was no talking. There was no smiling. There were only... rocks….” She sighed.
“Sounds rough, but how did a pony like you become so… wild~? If I do say so myself Pinkie~” Syera asked crossing her arms as they rode by places quickly, closing the gap from their position and Sugarcube Corner.

“Yeah… it wasn’t an easy life for us Pies. But here is where it started. It was near the early afternoon hours. We were in the south field, preparing to rotate the rocks to the east field when all of a sudden…” She paused then screamed.

“Boom! A Rainbow, with such beautiful nature lit up the sky with all sorts of positive vibes! I'd never felt joy like that before! It felt so good I just wanted to keep smiling forever! And I wanted everyone I knew to smile too, but rainbows don't come along that often. I wondered to myself this; How else could I create some smiles?” She pondered as she gestured a hoof to her chin.

“Yeah? So what did you do make more smiles come your way?” Sweetie Belle asked.

“I threw my first Party! It was so marvelous and full of happiness, once I was done getting all the supplies I needed overnight while everypony slept, I told my parents this, ‘Mom! I need you and dad and the sisters to come in. Quick!’ and with that, I waited for them to approach the party they never knew they would ever have!” Pinkie exclaimed.

“What was their reaction to see all of what you did?” Apple Bloom asked.

“Well… when they first came in, I thought they didn’t like it, but when I saw how they were trembling and their expressions were… shifting, till finally their frowns were upside down! They felt so happy we danced the day away from all of it, and before I knew it, I got this on my here flanks! And that's how Equestria was made!” Pinkie finished, which caused Syera to slam on her brakes in mid flight since she nearly hit Sugarcube Corner at a high speed.

“Wait, huh!? I thought you…” Syera and Scootaloo spoke up, questioning where that whole claim came from. but before they could ask more…

“Look! We're here!” Apple Bloom shouted.

“Maybe on the way home later, I can tell you the story of how I got my cutie mark. It's a gem!” Pinkie said as she hopped out the wagon and stepped inside. Still leaving Scootaloo and Syera at a bit of a shock and dumbfounded look on their mugs. Sweetie Belle chuckled at this.

“Oh, come on you two. She's just being Pinkie Pie after all.” Sweetie Belle made a fair point since Pinkie Pie after all is very random at times.
Syera shrugged it off while shaking her head a little as did Scootaloo. Soon the three fillies and Saiyan entered the establishment before them, to where they were met with their final destination. All of the ponies from before, Applejack, Fluttershy, Rarity, Twilight Sparkle and of course Pinkie Pie were gathered around the one blue pegasus pony the four were looking for all day!

“Rainbow Dash!” Syera and the Crusaders screamed out in joy.

“We’ve been looking everywhere for you!” Scootaloo exclaimed.

“I hear you four looking for my cutie mark story. well mainly three of you, Syera you’re looking for some sort of connection?” Rainbow Dash asked.

“Yes, though to be honest from what I learned so far from the other pony's stories I can’t be sure till I hear your side of the spectrum. And I hope it will be worth it, I did put my training off for this.” Syera crossed her arms smiling.

“Yeah! Let’s hear it Rainbow Dash! How did you get your cutie mark?!” Scootaloo asked eagerly.

“Hehe~ alright Syera, you’ll love this one as well as you three indeed. Alright, it all happened during the race at Flight Camp… I’m sure you know Fluttershy here told you how it happened yes?” Rainbow Dash asked as she got a firm nod from the three fillies and Saiyan.

“Yeah… I stood alone against all odds to defend a friend’s honor, Fluttershy's honor.” Rainbow Dash closed her eyes, almost like she was reliving that very moment.

“And so, once Fluttershy waved that checker flag for the race to begin, me as well as the two blockheads who bullied Fluttershy were off! And trust me when I say this, at the time I never experienced such a rush… I've never flown like that before! That freedom was unlike anything I've ever felt! The speed, the adrenaline, the wind in my mane... I liked… no… loved it... a lot! However… things started to get dirty when they bum rushed me off the track!” Rainbow Dash told which caused a gasp from the crusaders and Syera’s attention was locked on her tale at hoof.

“And it Turns out at that moment I realized something, the only thing I loved more than flying fast... was winning! I rushed at speeds like never before, and I blew one of them out the air and soon afterwards, the other got blown from existence when… It happened~ Once I dived down at high speeds and hit that one cloud ring… BOOM!” Rainbow Dash smirked as her eyes opened and looked at Syera and the crusaders.

“Most ponies thought that the sonic rainboom was just an old mare's tale. But that day... The day I discovered the love for racing... I proved that the legends were true. I made the impossible happen! The Rainboom reached far and wide and it radiated from all the way to the heavens above and beyond most likely. All I know is… that very day, I. Became. Legendary!” Rainbow Dash then turned to show her cutie mark to them. “And that, is how you earn a Cutie Mark” The three fillies were at awe.

“Whooooaaaa…” Is all that escaped their voice boxes. It was at the sametime that Syera’s eyes went wide as she felt that she had made a conclusion. Everypony in the room had looked at her at that very moment since it was not expected.

“That’s it…” Syera spoke softly.

“Wait, what’s it?” Twilight spoke.

“Rainbow Dash’s… Sonic Rainboom… is what brought us to who we were meant to be, our destinies… Its not by chance or mere coincidence! Its fate that we all became friends from the start!” Syera told as she then looked at Fluttershy.

“Fluttershy, you said you heard and explosion followed by a beautiful rainbow right?” Syera told.

“Wait a second… oh my goodness yes I heard that explosion. And yes I saw the rainbow too. Which only means… Rainbow Dash, if you hadn't scared the animals, I never would have learned I could communicate with them and gotten my cutie mark.” Fluttershy realized it as well, Pinkie then spoke next

!Yeah, I heard that boom too! And right afterwards, there was this amazing rainbow that taught me to smile!” She told smiling bright as ever.

“When I got my cutie mark, I heard something like an explosion too once I looked up and saw a rainbow that pointed me home. I bet it was your sonic rainboom Rainbow Dash!” Applejack told.

“There was an explosion with a rainbow as well that I could never explain when I got my cutie mark.” Rarity told.

“This is uncanny! way beyond it even!” Twilight told as she took all of this in. “This means, If that explosion didn't happen when it did, I would have blown my entrance exam and Syera, your power would have never awakened so drastically and cause you to Transform into....” And as if right on cue, Syera transformed suddenly with her black hair turning a smooth blonde gold.

“Yes, a Super Saiyan is what I turned into that day, as well as the day when Nightmare Moon came and we all united together as the element bearers. But now, not only are we were friends there and now, but we were always friends even though we never met each other!” Syera explained.

“Rainbow Dash, I think you helped me earn my cutie mark and Syera her power as well! And yes… you’re right, we were all ways friends.” Twilight spoke which caused tears to shed from her eyes, as well as Syera and the others.

“Rainbow Dash, my power as well as their cutie marks, we all owe it to you for if it weren’t for you, we would have never been united as one!” Syera explained.

“Do you realize what this means?” Fluttershy said trying to hold back her tears of joy.

“Yes… not only we’re BFFs now, We've been BFFs forever and we didn't even know it till now, and all thanks to our loyal friend here with us~”

“Oah...Come here, y'all.” Applejack said as tears came streaming out her eyes, as well as everybody else in the room. They all crowded around the Saiyan in the room with one big group hug, Syera’s soft glowing gold aura soom evaporated the tears from their eyes.

“I'm so glad we're friends!” Fluttershy told as they all hugged together.

“I love you, guys!” Pinkie Pie told.

“I love you too Pinkie, As well as all of you. Your love and friendship keep me going everyday, and I swear I will protect it because when I fight, I won't fight for myself, but for all of you and others I love~” Syera told which made all of them embrace even tighter.

“You can count on us to be by your side when the time is right Syera! All the way!” Rainbow Dash told with a confident look her smirk rained down her expression now.

“Awwww…” Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom awed in happiness towards the seven friends before them.

“Ewwww... Gimme a break.” Scootaloo told in disapproval for her lack of affection. “Come on, Crusaders! Maybe we just need to try zip lining again” She suggested, but instead, Scootaloo was embraced by Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom, where she sighed in defeat.

Much later after the hug of knowing how they are not brought together by destiny, but they embraced as true, true friends and family.

Syera definitely knew her purpose and what she must do, she will protect her new home as well as her family of friends and loved ones with her courage and strength. She lost her first family due to near extinction of her race, she vowed to not lose this one.

When Syera looked out the window nearby and saw a rainbow, her drive for this vow was ignited into a fire that would never be put out.

“Hey Syera! Care to join all of us in a song?” Pinkie asked the saiyan in question as they all got together with instruments and a microphone.

“Hehe, yeah. I call the bass!” Syera told as she took the bass guitar, as the music and words they sung and danced to. It showed their bond was eternal and their friendship will never be broken and they it remain that way.

Till the end of their days and after.

Chapter 21 (Saga One Complete): A Night to Remember; The Grand Galloping Gala, here we come!

Last time on Syera: The Equestrian Saiyan

Syera had been in the middle of training when three little fillies had dropped down from the trees above her. Luckily she had caught them and soon found out what their next goal was, to find Rainbow Dash and find out how she got her cutie mark.

“We need Action! We need Rainbow Dash!” Scootaloo told and soon the crusaders as well as a curious Saiyan were on their way to find the blue pegasus. However along the way, Syera had heard the stories of her fellow element barer friends.

In the process from each pony’s cutie mark story, each told their destiny but also one other factor. It all depicted a Rainbow that shot far and wide with a loud boom. And it each showed them the one unique thing about them that made their lives special like no other.

Fluttershy could connect to animals; Applejack found out where she belonged after being honest with herself where she knew she could make a difference; Twilight had been able to unleash powerful magic that she never knew she could; Pinkie knew she loved to feel happiness and bring parties to give her laughter; Rarity found her destiny in the fashion industry after making dresses for the Ponyville school’s play; Rainbow Dash knew she had the love for racing as well as winning each one she entered.

Last but not least… Syera, she knew she was already strong but she knew at that moment she wouldn’t have been able to awaken her hidden potential if it weren’t for Rainbow Dash’s Sonic Rainboom unlocking Twilight’s power and some of it blasting it’s way into the Saiyan to awaken her inner strength.

At the end of the day, each friend came together to realize that at that day in time, They all were staring at the same end of the Rainbow.

“Gross~ since when did you two get so soft and cheesy?” Spike asked as Syera and Twilight were speaking the words that would be sent in the letter to Princess Celestia.

“Just write it down Spike~” They both told him.

“Besides, I’ve seen some of the cheesy love letters you’ve written to Rarity before that you never sent and threw away in the trash.” Syera told chuckling which cause a blush to form on Spike’s face.

“What!? No way, prove it!” Spike wanted prove.

“Hmph, alright. Something like…” the Saiyan then cleared her throat then spoke saying. “Oh Rarity, the marshmallow of my smore, the honey in my tea, the part of me knows you are my destiny~ That sound about right?” Syera spoke, this caused Twilight to burst with laughter, falling on her rump in the process.

“Yeah yeah, laugh it up” Spike told with a huff.

“I’m so sorry Spike, I just couldn’t resist.” Twilight told after getting her composure back from laughing so hard. Spike then rolled up the scroll after he was done writing down the words spoke by the two then went to the window and burned the scroll sending it to Princess Celestia.

“Speaking of sending letters to the Princess, isn’t the Gala tomorrow?” Syera asked.

“Oh my gosh! Yes it is! I can’t wait to attend.” Twilight told as she hopped in place similar to how Pinkie Pie would she was just as excited to eat a whole Chocolate cake covered in vanilla frosting.

“Me too, plus I can’t wait to go and see some of the old hangout spots while were up there together guys”. Spike told.

“Oh most definitely, we gotta hit up Donut Joe’s a get a dozen of assorted donuts or maybe even… hmm, visit the old observatory we used to stay at all night reading those old dusty books of myths and mythology, right Twilight?” Syera mentioned this and this made Spike and Twilight both perk up.

“Oh yes~ that does sound good but… I kinda want to stick around with Princess Celestia for the majority of the Gala to catch up on stuff magic wise. Also to just talk one on one with her since it has been awhile when it's just me and her.” Twilight told.

“Hmm… I see, but we’ll get together still right?” Spike asked.

“Oh most definitely Spike, we gotta find a spot and hang once were up there after the major events of the party’s end, plus I bet Pinkie will wanna tear up the dance floor most definitely while its in progress. Though... for the others… hmm who knows. If I do recall, Fluttershy wanted to see the Animals there in the gardens around the place.” Syera spoke.

“Oh yeah, and Rainbow Dash wanted to hang with the Wonderbolts, Applejack is gonna sell concession with her apple products… Mmm… I might go for her stuff more than the actual food there. Rarity definitely wants to find her Prince and… I think that covers our friends.” Twilight told.

“Huh… I see, well I do hope we can hang sometime around as the events unfold at the Gala.” Spike wished for.

“Don’t worry, I’m sure once we all do our things, we’ll get together Spike.” Syera said as she patted him on the back softly as she kneeled down to his height level.

“You Pinkie promise?” Spike asked.

“Cross my heart, hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye~” Syera did the whole motion with it where she crossed an X in the center of her chest, did a small flip in the air and put her fist in her eye like a cupcake. Then kneeled near Spike and put her Pinky finger out to interlock it with Spike’s claw pinky.

“Thanks Syera~ you’re the best.” Spike told and hugged her. The saiyan smirked a little and hugged her back softly patting his back.

“Anytime little bro~” Syera told, she definitely treated Spike as an equal family member, mostly a little brother like she has Twilight as a sister.

“Aww you two are so adorable, ever since we were young Syera, you’d always treat Spike with so much love.” Twilight told.

“Yeah, and I remember being by Spike’s side nearly each second of every moment I could. Also our foalsitter, what was her name again? It's been so long since we seen her to be honest.” Syera spoke trying to remember her foalsitter’s name.

“Oh my gosh, do you mean Cadance? She was so amazing! Like the best foalsitter ever in the world! Not just because she was a princess, but just her whole attitude towards certain situations, she just showed loved like no other~” Twilight told.

“Yeah… And I was so mean to her at first.” Syera told as she crossed her arms and sighed in disappointment to herself as she pondered the memories of their foalsitter during the first few days of knowing her.

“Yeah, I honestly did not know why you were.” Twilight asked, Syera took a moment to remember.

“I think it was because she was just… I don’t know, the way she would approach me sometimes, and treat you so special. I honestly thought she was just playing the whole act to be honest at first, I even struck her in the muzzle once when she just… never got mad at my insults towards her.” Syera paused and tears came out her eyes slowly. “She just kept smiling at me… It was then I just broke down crying and she just came up to me slowly. I accepted my punishment, if she wanted to strike me where I stood then I accepted it fully. However, when I saw her hooves raise up, I didn’t feel a smack on my cheek, but she place it softly on my cheek then hugged me. A little bit of blood running down her nose as I looked her in the eye”. Syera could recall this visually as if she relived the moment in her mind.

“Wow, I always wondered why when she took you in the room, I then heard crying from you, even though there was a thud on the floor. That was her from you striking her!? Why would you hit her!?” Twilight asked shocked by this story.

“Like I said… I just let my anger towards her and I guess I was jealous from how much of a sister she was towards you. Plus at the time… you know how many foals in school were afraid of me or bullied me because I’m different and not a pony. And just her showing all this love towards you and me, I just thought she was faking it… And I just snapped at her, but when I realize she just let me vent my anger and I came to my senses… I just realized how genuine her love was… And of course that’s when you heard me crying, and when we came out I just had this sad look on my face, I think you remember right?” Syera asked Twilight as she looked at her in the eyes.

“Yeah… and… I know those other foals and even other fillies at the time at school bullied you, but I never fully realized it till now. And I guess Cadance was just giving you the love and affection you needed at that time. I definitely know Mom and Dad tried to ask you what was wrong sometimes but you just shunned yourself away and never talked about it.” Twilight told, Syera nodding in agreement as she crossed her arms.

“Mmm… I didn’t want my anger towards those to be fired upon them nor you… but when Cadance came around and just pushed me to snapping, letting out my anger just… made it feel better I suppose… and even to this day… I feel bad for not apologizing to her afterwards, it's like she knew I was very sorry just I could never say it… something held me back but I promise next time we see her, I will apologize and thank her dearly.” Syera told as her eyes opened, wiping the tears she had away and then stood up after sitting next to Spike.

“I think she will love to hear it, Syera.” Twilight told as she saw her sis walk up the stairs and then up to the balcony.

“I’m gonna meditate on What has happened today, be sure to tell me if the Princess replies to the friendship letter.” Syera told as she then made her way to the balcony. With a nod from Twilight it was then they all did their own separate things for the rest of the day. Then soon got their rest for tomorrow’s main event.

The Grand Galloping Gala~

cue intro music: A Night to Remember; The Grand Galloping Gala, here we come!

It was the next day, later afternoon and Syera as well her pony friends were getting ready for the Gala. Twilight however thought instead of them using Syera’s Instant Transmission technique, she happened to read upon a spell that could shapeshift objects and animals. Her plan was to use this spell on some of Fluttershy’s mice.

However when she was almost done reading on how it works, Pinkie was hopping around in joy and excitement for tonight.

“Ahh! I... can't... believe... the Grand... Galloping... Gala... is... tonight!” Pinkie said in delight.

“I know, I can’t wait either for the festivity to begin. Also to be around you guys for probably the best night ever!” Syera told with her fist in front of her and cheered in joy with Pinkie.

“Syera, Pinkie, I love you dearly, But can you… Please stop shouting, I'm trying to concentrate on this spell.” Twilight demanded.

“Don’t worry Twi, you got this, even if we are excited with joy. Plus relax and don’t be a party pooper...” Syera smiled as she crossed her arms, however when Rarity walked up, she did not like it when Pinkie was bouncing in place like she usually does when excited.

“Pinkie Pie!” She shouted her name. “Stop that right now. It's time to prepare for the Gala, and I refuse to let you put on your new dress when you're all sweaty.” She told which made Pinkie calm down then stand next to Spike and Syera.

“What's Twilight doing?” Pinkie asked.

“She's got an awesome magic spell she's been working on for the Gala.” Spike explained.

“Yeah, and it’s an impressive one indeed and it takes a lot of concentration, so yeah let’s be quiet for her to perfect it.” Syera told as the three looked at Twilight for the time being, though Rarity on the other hand was trotting in place.

“Where are the others? It's getting late.” The white unicorn complained, however right on cue, Applejack, Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy arrived.

“Hold your horses, girl. We're here.” Applejack told the worrying Rarity.

“Perfect! I'm ready.” Twilight told, however this confused Rainbow Dash.

“For what?” Rainbow Dash asked.

“Just watch, Spike it's time” Syera told the little dragon and he pulled out an Apple. Which caught Pinkie’s attention.

“An apple! Are we having pie?” She asked.

“No, Shh! Watch!” Spike told as he place the Apple on the ground and soon Twilight turned it into a carriage with her shapeshifting spell. There were awes and beautiful comments of it from everypony there.

“I gotta hand it to ya Twi, you did pretty well with this one.” Syera told as she observed huge sized Apple Carriage.

“Thanks. But that's just the start however. Fluttershy, did you bring your friends?” Twilight asked and Fluttershy came close and the little mice mentioned before had come out of her mane and jump down on the ground in front of the yellow pegasus.

“Yes. Will they be safe, Twilight?” She asked worriedly

“You have my word.” Twilight told.

“And you have mine as well since me and Spike’ll be piloting these babies up to Canterlot”. Syera told with a confident attitude. With that said, everypony watched as Twilight worked her magic spell once more and this time focused on the mice and transformed them into horses, however they still retained their cute mouse faces and features.

“Ta-da!” Twilight said and everypony there had mixed results, though Syera loved them as she then took a few carrots they also brung to give to the four big horse-mice. They enjoyed the little treat the Saiyan gave them and all nuzzled the her.

“Aww I wub you too furry ones.” Syera then prepared them to get strapped and saddled onto the Carriage.

“Neat, huh? And don't worry. They'll be mice again at midnight.” Twilight explained to Fluttershy, however the timid yellow pegasus noticed a particular cat and her sudden course of action as she lunged out with claws open to strike the horse-mice.

“Opalescence, no!” Fluttershy screamed, however the kitty in question was stopped in her tracks mid jump by Syera.

“Whoa there Opal, sorry but you can’t attack these mice. We need them” It was then Syera gave Opel to Rarity in her magical grasp.

“Might wanna get her someplace away from the Mice Rarity, she is your cat after all. I gotta finish securing them to the carriage.” Syera pointed with her thumb towards them and Rarity gave a nod.

“Indeed, but do be quick darling. We need to leave before Sundown and believe me, our preparations will be amazing!” Rarity told however Opel was getting a little angry from being held up in the air by Rarity’s magic. So the elegant unicorn led the others inside to get ready and dressed while Syera settled and mounted the horse-mice on the carriage.

“Alright, settle down here you four, I’ll be back with the others once were ready.” Syera told the four mice horses which in turn they nodded and licked her cheek. “Hehe ok, see you in a bit.”

Syera then soon joined the others, or at least she tried when she found out the door was locked. Spike was trying to get in too.

“Come on, you guys. Let me in!” Spike pleaded as he knocked.

“Sure thing, Spike.” Rainbow Dash said on the other side but was all of a sudden stopped when Rarity blocked the door.

“Heavens no! We're getting dressed.” Rarity complained which caused Syera to laugh wholeheartedly.

“What’s so funny?” Rarity asked.

“Dressed? Uh, beg pardon, Rarity, but, uh... we, all except Syera here, don't normally wear clothes.” Applejack told after brushing off a laugh as well.

“That is true ya know, I’ve noticed all of you run around pretty much butt naked all the time.” Syera claimed which caused everyone to laugh.

“Ha! That is so true Syera, but still its not like we hang it all out though.” Pinkie Pie told which everypony had to agree on.

“I'm sorry, Spike. Some of us do have standards, but I guess you all do have a point on the clothing situation.” Rarity told.

“Heh, yeah, but still I can’t wait to see you all in your dresses.” Spike told.

“We’ll only be a few moments Spike so you’ll be able to see us pretty quickly.” Syera told as she got behind one of the changing curtains Rarity had and soon her Gi came off over the curtain and soon her dress was given to her by Rarity.

“Remember dear, the materials used for it are extremely delicate but yet flexible to your body up to a point, just don’t do anything reckless.” Rarity told the Saiyan who smirked at her.

“Heh, don’t worry, I’m sure there won’t be any kind of fights breaking out at the gala as far as I know.” Syera told as she then put on her lingerie before putting on her actual dress. She got her boots and gloves on after getting the dress on and she looked in the mirror and observed herself. “Hmm… something’s missing… Ah, hey Rarity, can you get me that Shampoo you use for deep cleaning, as well as the styling gel?” Syera asked.

“Sure thing dear, but why the hair gel?” Rarity asked.

“You’ll see. I got something good in mind.” Syera told as she then went into the one bathroom. She decided to take her dress off first and just wear the lingerie and she proceeded to clean her hair with the shampoo. It was no normal shampoo, it made her hair also super silky soft and plus with her hair being wet, it hung down to her shoulders. So next she dried her hair and soon applied the hair gel, her hair was not only spiky like it usually is, but it was styled in a way where it was spiked up on an angle and it gave her a sleek look. Her bangs that hung in her face were now spiked up with the rest of her hair. She didn’t have them hanging in face like usual so now she’d look proper yet still amazingly cool.

She then met up with the others outside who were all dressed up and ready to go.

“Oh wow! Syera you look so amazing!” Rainbow Dash complimented as she flew over and looked at her.

“Yeah! and your hair, what did you to it?” Pinkie asked as she looked at it as she was now over her shoulder.

“Heh, let’s just say a little gel and deep cleaning Shampoo can do wonders.” Syera told with a smirk.

“Either way, you look incredible darling I can’t wait to see you in action at the party, assuming I am not already with my prince~” Rarity said fantasizing over her possible encounter with Prince Blue Blood.

“Heh, thanks girls, anyway, load up in the carriage, our E.T.A from here to Canterlot will easily be up to an hour or two so get settled in and enjoy the ride alright?” Syera told and everyone cheered with happiness and soon they all loaded in the apple cockpit while Spike and Syera were piloting this mice/horse drawn vehicle.

“Alright Syera, here we go, hyah!” Spike hit the throttle on the mice horses and they kicked into high gear as they trotted along up the trail to the city of Canterlot.

“Man, can’t wait to get home, this is gonna fun I hope.” Syera told as she sat next to Spike.

“Yeah, I can’t wait to hang with all you guys when we get the chance, I swear this will be the best night ever!” Spike told smiling.

After the next hour or so the sky above was soon replaced, from Celestia’s Sun and Luna’s Moon. Syera looked at the starry night above them and saw just how beautiful it was. The saiyan wondered how Luna was doing and see how she was coming along. Maybe she was doing just right with settling in again since she became her original self after Nightmare Moon was dealt with.

“Hey Syera, eyes front. Were almost there.” Spike told as she saw the saiyan staring into space.

“Eh? Oh right.” Syera said as she shrugged off her thoughts of what lies ahead of them and focused on what was in front of them now. They were now coming over at the end of the mountain trail and soon they saw the castle town before them. Twilight and the others were talking to each other for the majority of the ride but soon the chatter became ecstatic when Syera and Spike spoke through a small window in the carriage behind them about that they’re coming up on the city as they speak.

Right after entering the city, they soon come across the royal palace where the Gala was taking place, and it seemed to be going well so far. All that Spike and Syera had to do was park their carriage.

“Alright, here we are. At the Gala~” Syera spoke as she hopped off the carriage to the side of it and opened the door for the six ponies, whom were all dressed up and looking classy as all can be.

“Whoa! You all look... amazing” Spike complimented on the ponies’ dresses and how fabulous they all appeared on this fine night, hoping to be on of their best thus far.

“I can't believe we're finally here. With all that we've imagined, the reality of this night is sure to make this... The Best Night Ever!” Twilight spoke with high hopes.

“Yeah, let’s make the best of it to make sure it is!” Syera spoke as she crossed her arms and saw the royal doors open before them and many other pony's entered along with them. They marched high and proud and soon once they all made it to the entrance, they showed their tickets to the royal guards, and the night would get even more interesting since they, the six ponies and Saiyan warrior have arrived.

“Yeah! This is gonna be the best night ever. You know why? 'Cause we're all gonna spend time at the Gala to... gether.” Spike spoke too soon since it was just him and Syera standing at the front entrance since the others scattered like mice going after some cheese before the poor dragon could finish. “Or not…” He huffed which is when Syera kneeled down.

“Its ok Spike, if anything. We’ll all meet up sooner or later tonight, and I know once we do, we’ll rock the boat off this place.” Syera told clenching her fist high and proud.

“Ho ahh to that Syera.” Spike told raising his fist as well. “Anyway… I guess we should split up to cover what’s going on here?” the little purple dragon suggested.

“Yeah, I suppose. If anything I’m gonna wander, maybe see the others and what they’re doing. Maybe even mingle with some of the classy higher up folks around. Ya know?” Syera smirked as they both laughed.

“Yeah, see you around Syera.” Spike then ran off to where it looked like the food was since the smell of a grand galloping feast was upon them. Syera couldn’t resist a meal but she decided to wait and mingle before stuffing her face. As the Saiyan wandered, it seemed pony's there were giving her extremely odd and surprised looks, some whispered amongst each other, saying things like.

“Is that the monkey girl Celestia took under her wing?” Some asked.

“I think so, wow, she is tall and look at her mane style, so spiky and yet… beautifully done. I want a manestyle like hers!” Soon later it seemed crowds upon crowds of pony's there seemed to want to talk and mingle with her. However Syera was getting a little too uncomfortable since some of them were getting a little too close. One of the unicorns even used their magic to grasp her tail on occasion.

“Oh by stars, your tail is so divine yet adorable.” One complimented.

“I try to keep it that way thanks.” Syera took her tail back in her grasp and she wrapped it around her waistline, and it seemed like her kimono dress had a special type of belt. But in reality it was just her tail. Though soon after escaping the crowds, she found herself outside in the gardens.

“Hmm? I wonder if Fluttershy is around here?” Syera asked as she wandered quietly through the night and starry bed gardens surrounding the castle. Eventually she came across a familiar silhouette that appeared to be the timid yellow pegasus she knew all too well.

“Fluttershy.” Syera spoke as she walked towards the yellow pegasus.

“Syera, fancy seeing you in the gardens, what brings you here?” Fluttershy asked as she observed some of the animals from a distance.

“Just decided to wander, I might head back inside soon but I was hoping to see you around here. How’s the search for rare exotic animals?” Syera asked crossing her arms.

“Oh great! Look over there.” She pointed a hoof forward, across the path they were on behind some bushes and trees. There were many varieties of birds, monkeys even, as well as some other mammals. “I see a whole lot of Toucans as well as a few Spider Monkeys, for some reason they remind me of you, how free they are in nature and how gentle they appear to be, just like you. You maybe strong and brave but you seem so gentle that you wouldn’t even hurt a butterfly, Its one of the reasons I feel so safe in your presence Syera.” Fluttershy complimented, which then caused the two to embrace for a moment.

“Thank you Fluttershy, and I’m glad you feel that way, because I will try my hardest that it stays that way.” Syera told as they broke their brief hug. “Anyway, I think I’m gonna wonder more to see what the others are doing.” Syera waved goodbye for now to her timid pegasus friend and walked off back in the castle. Only to stumble upon what seemed like another open area, she then smelled the sweet and cinnamon filled apple treats that seemed to be… yes, Applejack’s stall!

However, before Syera approached, she saw Applejack make one of her first purchase. Funny enough it happened to be one of the wonderbolts.

“Heh, well I guess everypony craves pie once in a while.” Syera said as she observed.

“Howdy, partner! You hungry?” Applejack as the wonderbolt, I believe it was Soarin. He is said to be infamous for liking Apple Pies

“As a horse!” He responded with his bits in hoof and the hunger in his eyes as he looked at all her treats.

“Well, what'cha hankering for? Caramel apple? Apple pie? Apple fritter? Apple fries?” She asked, but once she mentioned Apple Pie, she had him hooked.

“I'll take that big apple pie!” He told as he tossed about 7 bits down for it, and Applejack delivered his pie to him and he happily trotted away with it.

“Well, thank you kindly for your business, sir! Yee-haw! In the first minute, I made my first sale. Just like I expected.” Applejack said happily.

“Indeed, I can assume business is gonna go swell eh Applejack?” Syera asked as she approached the country mare at her stall of work as of now in the gala.

“You bet, I just hope it gets better. Anyway, enough about this, how’s the gala treating ya Syera?” Applejack asked her saiyan friend.

“Eh, it's alright here I guess. To be honest earlier I did get surrounded by a bunch of ponies who happened to recognize me, must’ve seen me here in Canterlot or some of them saw me in Cloudsdale that one time with Rainbow Dash. Speaking of her, you do realize you sold a pie to Soarin, one of the wonderbolts right?” Syera asked.

“I didn’t notice that was Soarin, All I know that wonderbolt was hungrier than Big Mac at a stuff the heads contest. Wow, ain't that something.” Applejack said impressed she sold her products to a celebrity.

“Either way that was damn impressive, if anything I’m gonna tail him to see if there are more of them here. Maybe even see Spitfire if I get the chance, as well as Rainbow Dash, she definitely wanted to see them too. Oh and before I forget.” Syera then reached up and flipped three bits out into Applejack’s pouch where her money stash would be for tonight’s profit. “I’ll take an Apple Fritter please.”

“Coming right up partner.” Applejack told as she gave the saiyan a fritter. “Thanks for the business Syera. But seriously, I’m your friend, if you wanted one on the house ya could’ve asked”. Applejack told.

“Nah, I wanted to help out the cause on your barn to be honest, as well as that hip for Granny Smith and that plow for Big Mac. Anyway, thanks. See you around” Syera told as she munched on her freshly baked Apple Fritter.

As she tailed Soarin’s energy, she came across one of the main halls where a lot of pony's mingled and such. As she scanned the room, she saw Soarin, still with his pie in his possession. He met with Soarin and it looked like a few other Wonderbolts. They were talking but all of a sudden. Soarin dropped his pie, Syera was about to react but then a blue blur came across to him first and his pie was safe, in the possession of non-other than Rainbow Dash herself.

“My pie! You saved it. Thanks.” Soarin thanked the blue pegasus.

“Hey, no prob.” Rainbow Dash told as she gave the stallion his pie back.

“Hey! I know you. You're the pony that saved us in Cloudsdale and won The Best Flyer Competition, also didn’t you and your friend save us from that freefall after we got knocked Silly from that one frilly mare with the butterfly wings?” Spitfire asked as she recognized Rainbow Dash from that competition.

“Hay yeah! Name's Rainbow Dash. And the friend who helped save you guys was my great Saiyan friend Syera.” She smiled.

“Well, Rainbow Dash. Looks like your skills saved us again. Oh, well, at least they saved Soarin's apple pie.” Spitfire chuckled.

“Mm~ yeah” Soarin said in between feasting on his delicious Apple Pie.

It was then Syera decided to step forward and reveal herself to Rainbow Dash and the Wonderbolts.

“Heya Rainbow Dash, I see you’re mingling well with these guys.” Syera said as she crossed her arms.

“Ah, you must be Syera. I have to say thanks again for saving us back in Cloudsdale during that whole incident.” Spitfire told as she stepped forward and raised a hoof up to Syera.

“It was my pleasure, nothing a little Kaioken couldn’t help solve along with Rainbow Dash’s Sonic Rainboom.” Syera told as she shook hand and hoof with Spitfire herself.

“Kaioken? What is that?” Spitfire asked.

“Well… its…” Syera was about to explain what it was. Though Spitfire noticed that it seemed kinda private so she decided to do this.

“Hold that thought, how about you and Rainbow Dash come hang and mingle with us in our private corner for a little bit and we can talk away there. It seems a bit noisy here.” Spitfire offered.

“Oh hell yeah! I mean… It would be our honor.” Syera told as she bowed formally towards them.

“Heh, you can cut the formalities if anything Syera, were all brothers and sisters here right? You can act the way you would towards us as you would others.” Spitfire told as she gestured a hoof for Syera and Rainbow Dash to follow them. It was then the two friends looked at each other and squealed and joy and said to each other.

“We’re hanging with the Wonderbolts! Yeah, Ooh yeah!” They sung and danced, which cause Spitfire to chuckle as she looked back at them. After the two friends stopped fangirling over getting the chance to have a one on one chill session with the wonderbolts, they arrived in their specific VIP corner of the gala. There were couches set up for them and a lineup of drinks.

“Now this is a place to hang!” Rainbow Dash complimented. Once situated, Soarin, Spitfire as well as Rainbow Dash and Syera and a few other wonderbolts who were still around chilled and drank, as well as crack a few jokes about their show and routine. As well as show a few stories.

“And Cloudchaser was all like ‘Hey that was extremely dangerous! Let’s Run the test again!’ Which caused all of us to question her judgement but she pulled through. and when she did, she screamed ‘That was awesome!’ which caused everypony there to die laughing.” Spitfire told as she flew above explaining the story. Syera laughed at the story as did Rainbow Dash.

“Man, that does sound dangerous but oh so awesomely cool! I do hope to join you guys one day and become a wonderbolt.” Rainbow Dash told.

“Keep honing your skills Dash, and I’m sure you’ll make the cut and most importantly, follow not only your gut instincts, follow your heart, cause you gotta a lot of potential.” Spitfire told.

“Yeesh, when’d you get so cheesy Cap?” Soarin joked around with Spitfire. Who nudged him with a hoof and told.

“Hey, being an inspiration to this little pony, besides. She has potential and I can see clearly where her loyalty lies. Using that as motivation is a strong attribute.” Spitfire explained.

“Yeah, I have to agree Spitfire. Rainbow Dash does indeed have great potential, surely seeing or… at least hearing what she did at the Young Flyer’s Competition surely is stuff of legend but seriously, you know what they say about em. Sometimes… they’re true and I can see you as well as I are in a presence of one.” Syera told as she looked at Rainbow Dash.

“Awh shucks… I’m not that good, I know I’m awesome beyond anything but… I’m not the greatest, but thanks for thinking so Syera.” Rainbow Dash told with a blush towards the Saiyan.

“Well, if Syera believes you are awesome just as much as you do or even more, I can vouch for her claim.” Spitfire told believing the words of the kind courageous Saiyan.

“Yeah! It did save the pie I had earlier, your awesomeness I mean.” Soarin told which caused everypony there to laugh.

“Yeah, I suppose it did.” Rainbow Dash said after laughing with them. “Oh but seriously, as you can tell. Syera here is also awesome! You should see some of the cool tricks she can do and abilities she has!” Rainbow Dash pointed out.

“Oh? Like what?” Spitfire asked.

“Well for one, she can transform!” Rainbow Dash explained, which caused a chuckle to come from Syera as the saiyan then downed her drink and stand up before them.

“Is this true Syera? You can transform?” Spitfire asked raising an eyebrow.

“Yes I can, actually I never knew I could honestly and when I did do so I barely could hold the form. But now… I have a firm grasp on it to where I can do it at my own accord.” Syera told widening her stance.

“Can we see an example?” Soarin asked as he, Rainbow Dash and Spitfire waited for the saiyan to demonstrate.

“Alright, hold onto your flanks cause this’ll be one heck of a doozy as Pinkie would put it.” Syera told as her smirk expression turned into a serious one as she then gritted her teeth and clenched her fists and soon an outburst of energy came flowing out of her in a quick golden glowing aura surrounding her, changing her eyes into the cyan blue and her beautiful silky yet spiky black hair into a golden blonde color.

“Whoa… what happened!? Your hair Syera!” Spitfire was shocked as well as Soarin.

“Heh, it's part of the transformation” Syera told as she calmed her aura and her hair become a bright blonde from a golden yellow.

“What is this called?” Soarin asked still in shock while Rainbow Dash cracked a smile at their reactions.

“To be honestly sure, I never would have learned the name of this if it weren’t for Nightmare Moon, Princess Celestia was originally going to tell me when I was ready but… it was too late when the Mare in the Moon showed upon us earlier than expected. Also this transformation was said to be lost to my people for nearly 1000 years up till now… The name of this transformation is called Super Saiyan. And for good reason too. This form gives my natural energy that I have worked hard to achieve a 50x boost towards my strength, speed and reflexes. Even now, I can feel everything going on the room. Like Rarity passing by with… Prince Blueblood?” Syera explained but she was shocked to find out that Rarity actually was with the Prince of her dreams.

“Wow, that is really impressive Syera. I wish I could do that with my hair, just change it whenever I wanted, as well as the boost increase of strength, speed and reflexes, mostly the speed and reflexes. But yeah awesome!” Spitfire told as she clapped her hooves as did Soarin and all the other wonderbolts who were around who witnessed it.

“I told you it was awesome!” Rainbow Dash told as she clapped too.

“Say, if anything after the Gala, were having an after party to celebrate our successes this month, just to ease off some stress and such, you two wanna join us?” Spitfire asked Rainbow Dash and Syera. The two friends looked at each other and smirked and nodded yes.

“That sounds amazing!” They both shouted.

“I knew you’d say that, ok so here’s the address, and don’t worry, it's still here in Canterlot, just its being held at our our training grounds here it’s gonna be cool. Hope you two can make it.” Spitfire told as she did hope the two would make it.

“You bet!” Rainbow Dash told

“Absolutely, besides I could use the extra stress reliever of a goodtime” Syera told with a smirk as she eyed Spitfire and Soarin in the eyes.

“Alright, I hope to see you there. Still wanna chill with us? Cause if you wanna see what’s going on at the rest of the gala you can.” Spitfire winked at Syera, who winked back.

“Heh, yeah. Anyway yeah I think I’m gonna explore some more. So Rainbow Dash, you sticking with them?” Syera asked as she was about to leave.

“Hay yeah, I’m gonna mingle with em a bit more. See ya!” Rainbow told as she hoof-bumped Syera’s fist and the Saiyan parted ways with Rainbow as well as the other wonderbolts as she parted ways with them for now, Syera wondered what this after party was gonna be like, though before she officially got out of sound distance for them speaking. Syera heard what sounded like something along the lines of “I can’t wait to have some of that” from Spitfire. Syera kinda blushed and puckered her lips but… shrugged it off momentarily later.

It was then she saw Rarity later with what seemed to be her Prince. However once Syera laid eyes on him, she knew right away who it was and… by Celestia she knew Rarity can do better. “Hey! Rarity! Wait up!” Syera called out.

The elegant unicorn turned to look behind her before smiling brightly. “Oh Syera, darling it's good to see you’re around still.” However there seemed to be some tension between Syera and Prince Blueblood. They eyed each other with serious looks, however Rarity decided to break the tension.

“Um Darling, can we maybe speak in private. I’ll be back my prince.” Rarity told as she used her magic to take Syera’s hand and lurch her away from Blueblood and they talked in a corner that wasn’t earshot of Blueblood.

“Syera what is wrong with you?! I’m finally with the prince of my dreams, and you come over and eye him down with that serious expression on your mug?!” Rarity told with a bit of an angry tone.

“Rarity I’m sorry, but seriously, he is your prince? I’ll have you know as of now I do not like the idea of you being around him. And I say this with good reason.” Syera told as she crossed her arms.

“And what reason would that be dear, please tell me.” Rarity told putting on of her front hooves to her side.

“Well for one” Syera began to explain to Rarity a brief history with her and the Prince. “I grew up here in Canterlot and I did a lot of things here in the Castle and you know what, he happened to be there too, and granted, I wasn’t as strong as I am now as then so you know what happened. I was bullied by him, a great deal, and of course Princess Celestia had to pull us apart before I beat him to a pulp, at first I tried to ignore him… he’d slap me around, call me by racial slurs and names. I wasn’t having it, so this one time he even made my nose bleed from decking me in the face after I said a snide remark about him. Since I wasn’t careful, I had my guard down and it hurt… which then in turn really made my blood boil to no end I nearly killed him at that one point after I blacked out. To be honest, I am not sure to this day, but Celestia seemed very mad at me when she gave me a punishment, but she felt a lot of relief and stress gone when he was taught a lesson. Still, I to this day hate his guts, but that’s me. If you wanna be with this loser you can. I’m not stopping you, maybe he’ll treat you differently than me.” Syera told, however Rarity looked at him, he gave a cheeky smile, Rarity then looked back at her saiyan friend.

“Ok you know what, I will admit he is a little difficult to cope with but… I want to give him a chance, and if he treats a lady like me, he’s gonna bit of a hoof shower coming his way. But really darling, don’t worry. What could possibly go wrong?” Rarity asked as she then proceeded to trot back over to Blueblood. All that Syera could do was just sigh and smile. But Prince Blueblood had the nerve to look back at the Saiyan with a messy look on his face. Which is when Syera squinted her eyes and gave him a bit of a frown while flipping him off with her middle finger the walked the opposite way.

“Hmm… I wonder what Pinkie Pie is doing.” Syera asked as she walked the hallways of the castle. More ponies had noticed her and were whispering to each other about her as she passed, but she got out of dodge before more of them got bold and cornered her. However, one of the halls had Music going and it sounded pretty classy. So Syera decided to peek inside to see what was what. And almost instantly, she saw her Pink pony friend. However it looked like she was doing something with the musicians, speaking to them about something. So Syera decided to enter and get in the crowd crossing her arms.

“C'mon, everypony! I know what will make you shake those groove-thangs! Ooo! Syera, just in time! Come on stage with me. I need you to dance and sing with me.” Pinkie told as the crowd then looked at the Saiyan in the crowd who then sighed and smiled.

“Alright Pinkie, what are we singing and dancing to?” Syera asked as she had a microphone in her hand as Pinkie had her’s on a stand she held onto next to her saiyan friend.

“Simply this” Pinkie then started the song. “You reach your right hoof in, You reach your right hoof out, You reach your right hoof in. And you shake it all about, You do the Pony Pokey meeting lots of folks with clout.” Pinkie started with and Syera followed her movements. It felt so childish but with Pinkie, what isn’t. Plus it was adorable.

“That's what I'm talking about! You step your left hoof in, You pull it right back out, You step your left hoof in, But you better help him out.” Pinkie pointed to one of the gentlecolts in the crowd, some seemed to be having a groove but not everypony however and they just watched.

“You do the Pony Pokey but should find a different route, That's what it's all about,You kick your back left in, You pull your back left out, You reach your back left in, Just be brave and have no doubt, You do the Pony Pokey feeling like you're gonna pout.” Pinkie sung some more, however Syera was getting an odd feeling that some mischief was gonna happen soon. Don’t know when but her gut was telling her soon. However the song continued.

“That's what I'm singing about! You tilt your head in, You tilt your head out, You tilt your head in, Then you shake it all about, You do the Pony Pokey even though your date's a lout,You're better off without.” Pinkie’s words were really speaking to Syera, almost if it is describing simultaneous events that are unfolding while they perform on that stage.

“Weird…” Syera mumbled to herself.

“You stomp your whole self in, You stomp your whole self out, You stomp your whole self in,And you stomp yourself about, You do the Pony Pokey and you give a little shout-”

“COME OUT!” a voice shouted what sounded like Fluttershy, Syera heard it clear as day since there was little noise except for the music and Pinkie singing. Though the song was drawing near an end.

“That's what I'm talking about, You do the Pony Pokey, You do the Pony Pokey, You do the Pony Pokey, And that's what it's all about, Yeah!” And with that done and done, Pinkie finished her song with Syera. However, the reaction from the crowd was sorta not what Pinkie had hoped for when one of the mares from the crowd spoke up.

“Young lady, this is not that kind of party.” She told Pinkie, which kinda made Syera chuckle and rub the back of her head.

“Ohhhhhh... They don't want a party Syera.” Pinkie told the Saiyan who was quite embarrassed.

“Yeah, I kinda figured that but it was worth a try” Syera told still chuckling a little, however Pinkie still persisted.

“It was, but all I realized is that… These ponies want a paaartay!” Pinkie told which is when she took things to the extreme.

“Oh dear, what do you have in mind to get these ponies to paaartay?!” Syera asked a bit intrigued since it could make this formal gathering a little less… formal and more freestyle. Pinkie then told Syera to get a turntable system and start mixing some beats together. The Saiyan didn’t know a thing about mixing or doing any kind of turntable stuff, but she did see some stuff from DJ Pon3 a couple months back when she went to one of her performances over in Manhattan, if she can just remember her style.

“Aha! that’s it!” Syera gave the thumbs up to Pinkie as the saiyan got on her earphones and she put on some glasses that resembled DJ Pon3’s.

“Alright Syera, drop that beat!” Pinkie told as Syera then gave a nod and mixed it up on the turntables, she did the best she could and it seemed to be working. “Come on, everypony! You wanted a partay? Now it's paaartaaay! Yeah! Uh! Now that's a beat, yeah! Uh! C'mon, dance! Yeah, woohoo!” Pinkie screamed out as she danced around the room with multiple pony's, and if and only if it can get any better than this and it is, since Applejack seemed to have whipped up a concoction of a cake that seemed to from the party, just… mixed with her Apple Products, Syera saw it and it looked delicious.

“Okay, all you high-class ponies. Here's a highfalutin apple cake for your hoity-toity taste buds.” Applejack told as she wheeled the delicacy in, When Syera saw it she left her DJ setup and just played a beat.

“Oh wow! that looks great AJ, how’d you come up with this so fast?” Syera asked as she looked at it in awe.

“Heh, sometimes you gotta improvise I’ll say. Wanna try a piece?” Applejack asked.

“Oh yeah, definitely a good size piece please.” Syera cut herself one with her ki beam that came out her finger and got a slice in her palm and ate it. Licking her lips as she was done.

“Wow that… great! You pony's gotta try this!” Syera told, however before they could…

“Stage dive!” Pinkie then took a serious leap off the stage that had the DJ set and seriously leaped downward, however the cake that Applejack wheeled in broke her fall, however a lot of it splattered near Rarity and Prince Blueblood. However the cowardly backboned Prince used Rarity as a shield for the cake fodder and oh by Celestia’s will that was a grave mistake.

“You, sir, are the most uncharming prince I have ever met! In fact, the only thing royal about you is that you are a royal pain!” Rarity told him with a serious angry tone as she was covered in cake, her dress nearly ruined.

“Ewww… stay back! I just had myself groomed!” The prince pleaded as he was backed into a door by Rarity.

“Ha! Ya afraid to get dirty?!” Rarity asked as she then shook herself of most of the cake which landed all over on the spoiled brat of a Prince, he shrieked and soon took off running.

“Well… that was dramatic” Syera said as she enjoyed another slice of the cake before it got ruined. However the whimpering Prince stumbled backwards on the ground and the vibration of his fall made the statue of Princess Celestia start to lose balance and was about to fall. However when it did it seemed Rainbow Dash felt heroic and decided to catch it before it did.

“Yes… w-whoa!!” She called out but before she could boast, she sorta lost balance.

“Whoa! Rainbow Dash careful! balance your weight towards me I’ll catch it!” Syera told her but it was too much since the blue pegasus pony in question stumbled into the nearby pillars knocking them down one by one. Luckily everypony backed away in time and soon the dust settled. leaving a mess of rubble and debris.

“You ok Dash?” Syera asked as she lifted the statue of her friends back.

“Yeah… just glad nopony got harmed during this stupid stunt I just pulled…” She told a bit discouraged.

“Oh come now, it wasn’t that bad, if anything I’m impressed by your strength alone to hold that thing on your back.” The saiyan then proceeded to put the statue back while Princess Celestia and Twilight Sparkle both entered the hall after hearing the commotion.

“Well, It can’t get any worse…” Twilight spoke out as she looked at the mess before her. however as she said that, the ground began to shake and a nearby door slammed open and a stampede of animals came rushing in and appeared Fluttershy behind them, she was… very tattered and roughed up to say the least and she seemed to be very angry.

“You’re… GOING TO LOVE MEEEE!!!!” She screamed and soon the rampaging animals came rushing into the castle. Syera however stayed completely still as everypony else panicked and ran to safety. Twilight was told to run by the Princess and so the purple unicorn gave a whistle to the others to clear out. However Celestia stayed behind it seemed, she was wondering what the Saiyan was about to do. Syera then closed her eyes and the glow from her aura appeared, it seemed the animals that were raging around seemed to calm quickly, soon she extended her arms out and a few birds landed on them, she then lifted upwards and then pointed her right index finger towards the door where they came from so they’d go back outside. And once the room settled she gave a soft exhale of air out as the room settled and she came down to the ground and looked around.

However she didn’t notice Princess Celestia observing her until she spoke up from behind her.

“Hey, how did you do that my little saiyan?” Celestia asked a bit intrigued, the saiyan turned around to face her.

“I… honestly don’t know, I just focused on what was going on and remedied the mess at hoof, and so I did… I just remembered back to your training, always keep a calm mind even in the most dangerous of situations.” Syera told as she crossed her arms still looking around the room at the mess around them, then she smiled.

“Heh, this will definitely be a night to remember” She chuckled.

“Indeed, I will say this. I’m glad you, Twilight, Spike and your friends could come, this has been one of the most interesting and yet… Fun Grand Galloping Galas I’ve ever experienced.” Celestia told happily.

“Wait… Seriously Princess?” Syera asked confused.

“Yes, now let’s find Twilight and the others, I want to thank them as well.” Princess Celestia told.

“Hmm.. hold onto me then Princess, I think I know where to find them.” Syera told as she had two fingers up to her forehead and concentrated. As Celestia placed a hoof on her shoulder, the saiyan smirked as she got a lock on to their position.

“Ok, here we go.” They used Instant Transmission to teleport to where Twilight and the others were at, Donut Joe’s place where Spike was bound to head to.

And within a few moments they were in front of the donut shop, it seems that Syera was able to be more precise when using the ability. And so the princess of the sun and the saiyan warrior approached and entered the place of business. Looking to their left and seeing the six ponies as well as spike talking and laughing about the experience of tonight.

“That sounds like the worst night ever!” Spike spoke up, it seemed Twilight and the others told him about it and they all laughed while saying.

“It was!” however after the laughter settled, Twilight spoke up.

“I just hope Princess Celestia isn't upset with us for ruining the Gala.” She told, which is then Syera spoke up.

“Well if you wish to find out, ask her yourself sis.” Syera told with a smile and they all turned around shocked and surprised to not only see Syera, but the princess right next to her.

“Princess Celestia! Syera!” They all shouted as they saw the two before them.

“I have to agree with Syera, and to completely honest my little ponies. That was the best Grand Galloping Gala ever!” She exclaimed which shocked them all to no end and they looked at each other as Syera and the princess got up to the table and joined the rest, Joe brought over a few donuts.

“On the house.” He told.

“Thanks Joe, you’re the best.” Syera told thanking the donut master.

“Anytime Syera, as for you too Princess.” He bowed and went back behind the counter to do business with others that came in this late.

“Pardon me, Princess, but tonight was just awful”. Twilight told which is when the princess just laugh then told.

“Oh, Twilight. The Grand Galloping Gala is always awful.” Which shocked everypony there.

“It is?” They all asked.

“It is, That is why I was thrilled you were all attending. I was hoping you could liven things up a bit. And while the evening may not have gone as you planned, I'm sure you'll agree that in the end it didn't turn out so bad for this group of friends.” She told however Syera was chuckling under her breath.

“You're right, Princess. Friends have a way of making even the worst of times into something pretty great.” Twilight had spoken, next was Rainbow Dash.

“Ho Yeah! Hanging out with friends!” She exclaimed followed by Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie

“Talking!” Fluttershy told.

“Laughing!” Pinkie exclaimed happily.

“You mean doing exactly what I wanted to do the whole time?” Spike asked smiling.

“Pretty much Spike yeah.” Syera told smiling as she enjoyed a donut.

“Yes indeed, Spike. Also… You were right.” Twilight admitted as well as the others did.

“As horrible as our night was…” Applejack started.

“...being together here has made it all better.” Rarity told with a small smile.

“In fact, it's made it…” Pinkie told which then in turn everypony there except Celestia spoke up

“...the best night ever!” They all shouted and had a hearty laugh. However when Syera looked out the donut shop windows, she knew that since they made it this far on this day, age and this beautiful glittering night, they knew that they would have many more ahead when together like this.

“Oh! I almost forgot!” Syera stood up from the table.

“What is it Syera?” Rainbow Dash asked.

“Remember that wonderbolts after party Spitfire invited us too?” Syera asked which then made Rainbow Dash go completely wide mouth and jaw drop and then shriek in excitement.

“That’s right! That’s happening soon right!?” She exclaimed.

“Yeah! Oh and… Princess Celestia.” Syera asked as she was about to leave with Rainbow Dash.

“Yes my little Saiyan?” the royal princess asked.

“I just wanted to say this, Thank you, for inviting us to the Gala and being there for us even when times are dim such as this.” It was then the saiyan embraced the princess with a hearty hug, in turn the princess hugged back with love and affection as she lightly nuzzled Syera on the cheek. And once they unembraced, Syera then took off with Rainbow Dash.

“See ya’ll around, and Spike. Meet me later at the place I used to meditate at, I’m sure you’ll find it just fine.” She told and with that, Rainbow Dash and Syera took off in the night sky ready for this afterparty with the Wonderbolts at their private training grounds in Canterlot.

However once they landed there, they didn’t expect to walk in on what they saw.

“Uhh… Syera?” Rainbow asked in a bit of shock.

“Yeah Rainbow Dash…?” Syera asked just as shocked as her.

“Are we at the right after party?” The blue pegasus asked her as she looked the Saiyan in the eyes and then back in front of them.

“Oh Syera! Dash, you made it, so? Come on, follow me, I got a special plan for you two with me. And trust me, you’re gonna love it.” Spitfire told, this shocked the two.

And it was at this moment that Rainbow Dash and Syera knew, this was gonna be one hell of a night for not only their excitement drive, but their stamina drive as well for… intimacy.

Last Time on Syera: The Equestrian Saiyan

The saiyan and her friends ventured up to Canterlot for the night to live their most treasured dreams of being at the Grand Galloping Gala, one of the most popular events in the capital city and nearly all of Equestria itself.

Upon arrival however, they did not expect their night to be so… unexpectedly horrible.

Starting with Applejack and selling her apple products to most of the hoity toity high class pony's who live there, only to have sold next to none of the products except one Apple pie and a few other treats.

Pinkie Pie didn’t get the party she wanted since everypony there was so uptight and absolute formal that it was disgusting to her attitude about parties.

Rainbow Dash didn’t get her chance to shine and mingle with the wonderbolts much since they kept getting dragged away from her.

Rarity, her so called “prince charming” happened to be nothing but a tightass brat that probably couldn’t touch a little bit of fertile soil and instantly would have a freakout of being a dirty peasant as he’d put it.

Fluttershy’s quest for finding new friends turned into a soft quiet observation to a full on hunting spree to the point where she chased them into one of the main halls of the event and chased everyone out.

Twilight Sparkle’s quality time with the Princess had been cut short due to all of the events that had unfolded throughout the course of the ride.

The most that Syera had were a few crowds of ponies surround her and try to study her. But for the most part, it seemed very smooth for her since she saw a lot while exploring. Though at the end of the party, she somehow calmed the animals that Fluttershy startled into the castle with her calm and soothing aura, that even Princess Celestia was surprised about.

Other than Spike spending the majority of the night at Donut Joe’s emporium, it was a disaster for the six ponies and Saiyan for their first time around at the gala. Everypony met up with Spike including Princess Celestia since she herself wanted to thank them for giving the Gala a little more kick and grandeur from their actions since according to Celestia herself, The Grand Galloping Gala is usually always awful to attend.

Now, for Syera and her friends now, Twilight, Spike and the others were invited back to the castle to spend the night. However on the other hand, Syera and Rainbow Dash attended an “after party” they were invited to turned out to be a serious one. One packed with drinks, dance off and so much more. Though through the night, Rainbow Dash and Syera became a little toasted, it seemed Spitfire took a notice since she had a plan to get that blue pegasus and saiyan alone with her. And so she did and got them both to her private quarters there. You can use your imagination to find out what happened next.

Otherwise after the night turned to day, Syera woke up with a groan.

“Ugh… my head… Ah!” She shut her eyes tight and covered herself in a blanket due to the sunlight outside. Soon she rubbed her eyes and got up with the blanket around her, she didn’t know she was naked at the moment as she looked outside. Then she looked over her shoulder and saw Rainbow Dash and….

“Spitfire!?” Syera was shocked and fell on the floor with her blanket covering her.

“Mm… Morning...oh? Did you like the fun we had last night?” Spitfire asked with a wink.

“Ugh… I don’t remember, how much did I drink…” Syera asked holding her head.

“I think only a few ciders, but I spiked one of them to give you a better time. Hehe, if you know what I mean?” She smirked.

“Wait… you slipped me a narcotic!? Why!?” Syera yelled loudly with a bit of anger, her eyes wide a little bloodshot as she held the cover on herself while she saw her underwear and bra and slipped them on quickly.

“Ugh… stop yelling at me… five more minutes….” Rainbow Dash groaned.

“Mm….” Syera then dropped the cover she had on and walked over to Rainbow Dash. However when she picked her blue pegasus friend, she felt a sudden slap on her butt.

“Just to let you know, you were an animal last night.” Spitfire told as she winked at the saiyan.

“Was I now? Well, hopefully next time I’ll remember it if you don’t drug me Spitfire. By the way, if you wanted to do something like this, you should’ve just asked me instead of spiking my drinks.” Syera smirked back at her as she held Rainbow Dash

“Ugh.. easy when holding me Syera, I think I have a bit of hangover…” Rainbow Dash groaned as she snuggled herself on the back of the saiyan.

“Don’t worry cause I do too... I’ll fly us out calmly and smoothly back home.” Syera told, but then realized something.

“Uh… Spitfire, where are my clothes?” She asked.

“Oh uh… yeah, they’re over there but they’re kinda tattered due to how hard we partied last night.” She chuckled as she pointed a hoof over to her dress and lingerie stockings and boots as well as gloves she had on.

“Good grief… I can’t wear this, plus my normal clothes are back in Ponyville...Ugh, anyway. Looks like this is goodbye for now Spitfire.” Syera told as she waved goodbye as she grabbed her stuff along with Rainbow Dash on her back and dropped out a window and flew out.

Spitfire waved good-bye and smirked while saying "Do come back soon honey, I could definitely use some of that Saiyan action of yours." She chuckled as she saw Syera and Rainbow Dash leave as the sun slowly rose in the sky.

“Ugh… I think the wind and fresh air is helping me with my hangover.” Rainbow murmur as she hiccuped a little.

“Yeah, just hang in there. We’re almost back home. I’ll drop you off at your place ok?” Syera told her and the blue pegasus gave a soft nod.

Soon the two friends arrived home soon after. After dropping Rainbow Dash home and helping her to the bathroom for a cold shower and a bit of a upchuck session with the toilet, she helped her friend to be so she could sleep the rest of the hangover off.

"Rest up Dashie, I'll see you later" Syera told as she had gotten the sleeping Pegasus to bed, she was snoring a lot of saw mills but she was getting that hangover out of her system.

Syera eventually made it back home to the library quickly before anypony saw her partially nude in her underwear. She got up stairs and showered as well as a few other things but soon came out a clean but hot mess and addressed her current situation with her Gala dress.

“Ugh… I’m never gonna live this one down when Rarity sees this.” Syera told herself as she eyed the outfit she made for her to wear. Well, all she could do now is to get dressed in her jammies, she took a bit of a nap to sleep the rest of the hangover off, however when she woke she felt cravings for sweets, which is odd since Syera usually goes for more healthy options.

“Hm… I’m hungry, hopefully food will help with this headache.” Syera told herself as she got up, dressed herself, then went to sugarcube corner for a bite to eat. A cupcake or two later, Syera walked out with a stomach full of a treats, she also had a special mixed smoothy that Mrs. Cake made for her and along with a few glasses of their signature chocolate milk. It seemed to do the trick for her stomach cravings.

However, as she stepped outside, the weather seemed to take… an odd turn.

“Hmm? What kinda clouds are those?” She looked up and saw pink clouds. And then they started to rain out… “Chocolate Milk? funny i just had a glass of that after that shake... but wait… this doesn’t seem right… I better find the others.” Syera then jumped up and hovered over Ponyville and saw some sort of problem at Sweet Apple Acres. The cornfields around seemed to be… popping and becoming popcorn.

“Hmm.. needs Salt. maybe some butter.” Syera said as she munched on a piece then she looked around at what was going on, Applejack seemed to see the situation as well.

“Hey, I didn't tell you to go anywhere!” Rainbow Dash flew over ahead Syera chasing one of the cotton candy clouds.

“Rainbow Dash, what's going on with this rain? I mean chocolate milk? I mean chocolate milk rain?!” Applejack told across from Syera.

“There's crazy weather all over Equestria! Cloudsdale is getting soaked by a major cola storm right now! But don't worry. I'm not leaving you guys until I get control of Ponyville!” Rainbow Dash told.

“I just wonder what in the name of Tartarus is causing this crap?” Syera said as she looked around as it continued to rain milk and popcorn continued to pop away. It seemed everypony wasn’t enjoying this, except Pinkie who was grubbing and drinking away.

“Mm.. nom, Why would you wanna stop this? This is great!” Pinkie told as she grubbed away, however after that it seemed Rarity came passing by with a new get up which seemed to have an umbrella on her back to keep her dry and looking good.

“Ahem. I heard about the troubles, and I came to see if there's anything I can do without getting wet. Or dirty. Or out from under my umbrella.” Rarity told however it seemed it got even worse since the apples in the trees grew very big and were bending the trees sideways. Literally, and to make matters worse it seemed the little critters around began to eat through the apples bite by bite.

“Uh I wouldn’t hold your breath Rarity, this might get dirty really quick.” Syera told as she thought of a plan that could work.

“Fluttershy! Do somethin'!” Applejack told as the meek yellow Pegasus saw Angel munching on one of the big apples.

“Now, Angel, you really shouldn't– No! It's not possible! I must be seeing things!” Fluttershy said as she saw all of the bunnies around start walking with sticky hoof legs instead of their normal cute paws.

“Nope, I think I’m seeing them too Fluttershy, wow look at those legs!” Syera had to hold back her laughter.

“Don't worry, everyone. I've learned a new spell that'll fix everything!” Twilight told with confidence as she had spellbook in her grasp and Spike by her side.

“Alright, do it.” Syera said as she and the others waited for Twilight to fix this messy situation. With a flash and poof, it all seemed clear and the mess remedied, for about two seconds and it continued again.

“My fail-safe spell... failed. What do we do?” Twilight asked Spike, which was a bad call.

“Uh, give up?” Spike asked.

“No, we go with Plan B. Rainbow, can you corral all those clouds in one corner of the sky?” Syera asked the blue pegasus pony as she pointed to them.

“Sure can babe!” Rainbow Dash told with a salute and confident smile as she then took off at a high rate of speed and style to gather those cotton candy chocolate milk rain clouds.

“Applejack, I need you to bring those high-strung storm clouds down to Earth with your roping expertise.” Syera then asked next.

“Got it!” Applejack then got her rope and hog tossed that clump of sweet milky goodness down on the ground after Dash got it together in one.

“Hey, what happened?” Pinkie asked as she gathered together one last gulp of chocolate milk. It was then Syera whispered an idea to Fluttershy to get the animals away from Applejack’s crops.

“Oh dear. I hope none of the animals see these delicious chocolate-filled cotton candy clouds. I'd hate to have to share them.” the timid yellow Pegasus pony told in a modest tone of voice.

“Ah, You and me both, sister! Hey!” Pinkie shouted since she was knocked back by the incoming animals who were feasting on the hogtied cotton candy cloud bunch.

“And when y'all are done with that, feel free to have some popcorn for dessert.” Applejack told with a smile.

“Looks like everything has gone according to plan, So, any idea on what caused this sudden chaos to erupt guys?” Syera asked. It was then all of her friends shrugged with uneasy tones of not knowing what is going on.

Though out of the blue, a letter came after Spike burped up a serious flame. Syera grabbed it and uncurled it and read it. She gasped then had a serious glare form on her face and she extended one of her arm out to her friends.

“Hm… Everypony grab onto me, The Princess is asking for a meeting with us in Canterlot pronto!” Syera told as she put two fingers to her forehead ready to use instant transmission.

“Wee! another adventure!” Pinkie shouted as she climbed on Syera back along with Spike, the rest put a hoof on her.

“Alright, hold on.” And within a second they teleported to the front of the castle instantaneously and rushed inside. What could the Princess be summoning Twilight, Syera as well as the rest of her friends up to Canterlot for?

Find out, Now!

Cue intro music: Harmony Lost Part 1! Enter Discord - Spirit of Chaos!

Within the moment of entering the castle grounds, the six rushed the main entrance into the grand hall of the castle where Princess Celestia waited for them patiently.

“Princess Celestia! We came as fast as we could!” Twilight told as she and the others came rushing in.

“Thank you all for coming on such notice, I take it you noticed some strange phenomenon happening haven’t you?” Celestia had told.

“Yeah, what’s up with the weird Cotton Candy Clouds!?” Rainbow Dash asked.

“Or the yummy chocolate milk they produce!” Pinkie told as she licked her lips.

“Or all my crops being miraculously growing big or sprout in a pop!” Applejack asked as well.

“Or why magic isn’t working! Are—” Twilight as well as the others were silenced when Celestia raised a hoof to stop them in their track of questions.

“Follow me and I shall explain.” Celestia told as they led the group of element bearers down the hall of triumphs.

“I have called you all here for a matter of great importance, An old ancient foe who I presumed defeated by the hooves of me and Princess Luna has returned for vengeance.” She explained, however when Fluttershy stopped and looked up at a window painting of a beast of unknown origin, Syera saw her stop and she looked up as well and recognized this creature from a dream.she once had.

“Ah?! No, it can’t be…” Syera said to herself as she looked the painting in shock.

“His name, is–” Before Celestia got it out, Syera had beat her to it.

“Discord…” Syera told out loud as she looked at the painting of the creature of mischief and utter chaos.

“That’s right Syera, I glad you remembered his name for he has returned.” Celestia told which then everypony looked at the saiyan in question but allowed Princess Celestia to continue.

“Discord is the mischievous spirit of disharmony and has very serious hunger for chaos and destruction. Long ago, before my sister and I stood up to him, he ruled Equestria in an eternal state of unrest and unhappiness.” Celestia focused her attention to one of the murals on the wall.

“Princess Luna and I saw how miserable life was for Earth ponies, Pegasi, and unicorns alike, after discovering the Elements of Harmony, we combined our powers and rose up against him, using the magic from us and the elements to turn him to stone.” She foretold

“All right, Princess!” Rainbow cheered for them in a past tense way.

“I thought the spell we cast would keep him contained forever, but since Luna and I are no longer connected to the Elements, the spell has been broken.” Celestia explained.

“Wait, you mean since we used the elements to defeat Nightmare Moon… they can only be controlled by us?” Syera asked, with a soft nod from Celestia to confirm her question, she then gestured to the door that lead to what seemed to be a vault.

“This is Canterlot Tower’s royal vault, where the Elements are kept inside since all of you recovered them. I need you to wield the Elements of Harmony once again and stop Discord, before he thrusts all of Equestria into eternal chaos.” Celestia was confident the seven friends could do the task, Syera seemed ready to do so as well as the others.

“But why us? Why don't you–” Twilight was about to continue but Pinkie pointed the group to another mural.

“Hey, look! We're famous!” Pinkie told as she observed the artwork of what seemed to be the seven friends stopping Nightmare Moon, where Twilight, Rainbow and Applejack on the bottom left and Pinkie, Fluttershy and Rarity on the bottom right and Syera in the middle of all of them shooting upward with what seemed to be a harmonic blast at Nightmare Moon.

“You seven showed the full potential of the Elements by harnessing the magic of your friendship to beat a mighty foe. Although Luna and I once wielded the Elements, it is you who now control their power, and it is you who must defeat Discord using the Elements once again!” Princess told them their mission and that failure is not an option.

They all took a moment to think and they all nodded in agreement with each other. Syera then put a cracked her knuckles and turned Super Saiyan within a flash.

“Princess, you can count on–” Syera was then cut off by Pinkie.

“Hold on a second! Eternal Chaos comes with Chocolate rain you guys! I repeat, CHOCOLATE RAIN!” Pinkie Pie told as she eyed them all with a serious look.

“Sorry Pinkie, but if we are to grow foods and sustain agriculture in our land, we need normal h2o rain. Now, all we need is the Elements of Harmony and this will be done quick.” Syera told as she smirked with her Super Saiyan aura flowing around her.

“What I believe Syera means is yes Princess, we’re all honored to use the Elements once more” Twilight told as she rushed near the princess’s side.

And with that said and done, Celestia focused her attention to the tower vault door. She stuck her horn in the keyhole slot and opened it with a magical spell on she could perform to open it. Once the door’s seal was broken, it opened with a rumble and a bright light emitted as it did and revealed a magical chest inside.

“Ooo…. You can keep the elements, I want that case!” Rarity told with a bright smile as her eyes shimmered brightly.

“Have no fear, for I am sure you will be able to defeat discord with no doubt… with these at your side.” Princess Celestia told as she brought the chest forward, opened it to reveal… nothing.

“Huh!? What’s this!?” Syera’s tone of shock was really took away since the elements weren’t there, which cause Celestia to gasp as saw they weren’t in there and dropped the case, the thud of it echoed through the hall with dead silence.

“Oh, well. If anyone needs me, I'll be outside in the chocolate puddles with a giant swizzle straw” Pinkie told as she walked outside and drank more of the chocolate milk from the cotton candy clouds.

“This can’t be good…” Syera said as everypony including Pinkie, who just finished drinking her chocolate milk as they stared at the empty box where the elements should be.

“That chamber is protected by a powerful spell that only I can break! This doesn't make sense!” Princess Celestia told, however a strange maniacal laughter came abruptly with a voice.

“Make sense? Oh, what fun is there in making sense?” The voice told, it could only be one culprit.

“Discord... Show yourself!” Celestia demanded which is when he appeared before them in one of the murals on the wall, he seemed to be using magic to manipulate himself in forms of artwork.

“Did you miss me, Celestia? I missed you. It's quite lonely being encased in stone, but you wouldn't know that, would you, because I don't turn ponies into stone.” Discord hissed as he moved from mural to mural on the wall.

“Enough! What have you done with the Elements of Harmony?” Celestia demanded.

“Oh, I just borrowed them for a teensy little while.” the mischief artist told as she snapped his fingers making the representation of the elements on the mural to disappear.

“You'll never get away with this, Discord!” Celestia patted her front hoof on the ground in anger, this in turn made him laugh even more as everypony witnessed this occur.

“Oh, I'd forgotten how grim you can be, Celestia. It's really quite boring.” Discord told as he sat back on the pedestal that held the elements and extended his hand out and looked at his pristine manicure.

“Hey! Nopony insults the Princess!” Rainbow Dash then rushed ahead.

“Rainbow wait! don’t!” Syera reached a hand out to stop her but it was too late and she ran right into window with a smack.

“Oh, you must be Rainbow Dash, famed for her loyalty, the Element of Harmony you represent.” Discord told with a smirk as he reappeared in the mural near her.

“That's right! I'll always be loyal to the Princess!” Rainbow Dash told, which made Discord chuckle lowly.

“We'll see about that–” Discord laughed.

“I can't believe we're wasting our time talking to a tacky window.” She told as she was so uninterested in this meaningless conversation.

“Ah, The beautiful Rarity, representing the element of generosity, if I'm not mistaken?” He told high and proud as his hands are on his side as he observed her up close.

“So you know who we are, big deal.” Applejack told with a not so surprised tone.

“Oh, I know much more than that, honest Applejack.” He said to her.

“You seem to know our strengths too.” Twilight told.

“Yes, Twilight Sparkle, and yours is the most powerful and elusive element, magic. Fluttershy's is kindness and Pinkie Pie's is a personal favorite of mine - laughter.” Discord told laughing, which in turn caused Pinkie Pie to laugh as well.

“Pinkie!” Twilight wondered why she was laughing with the bad guy.

“He's standing on your head!” She laughed.

“Hmph, he knows how to make Pinkie laugh for liking her element… so what, it doesn’t compare to me and mine.” Syera told gesturing a thumb towards herself as she then put her hands to her sides, tilting her head, letting one of her bangs droop to the side of her face.

“Ah… last but not least, Syera. Seems your element, courage seems to be honestly a rare gem indeed, I hope to see how much courage you’re able to put out after I am through with you, actually more importantly… you’re friends and loved ones.” Discord chuckled lowly.

“What. Did you say…you freak of nature” Syera snarled as she grit her teeth powering up in anger.

“Me a freak? Why I look fabulous unlike you who can change their hair color in a blink of an eye with a fancy gold aura, what does that make you…?” Discord retorted back with a frown of his own. This made Syera’s mouth agape and she felt struck hard, to the point where her aura cease and she just kneeled down in such sadness which is when her friends and Twilight comforted her including the Princess.

“Syera, no, don’t listen to him. And stop stalling, Discord! Tell us now, What have you done with the Elements of Harmony?!” She asked in more anger.

“Oh, so boring, Celestia. Really? Fine, I'll tell you, but I'll only tell you my way. To retrieve your missing Elements, just make sense of this change of events. Twists and turns are my master plan. Then find the Elements back where you began.” With the riddle said, his laughter faded off as a distant echo and he was gone. For now.

“C..Can we go home now?” Fluttershy asked very scared.

“Not till we stop that bastard and get the elements back.” Syera said in anger.

“Damn straight!” Rainbow Dash followed suit with Syera as they hoof/fist bumped.

“So… What do you reckon he meant? Twists and turns and ending back where we started?” Applejack asked.

“Yeah, that is an enigma in itself, Any thoughts on it Twilight?” Syera asked as she too thought long and hard.

“I’m thinking… Twists and turns... twists and turns... twists and turns! That's it! I bet Discord hid the Elements in the palace labyrinth!” Twilight told as she looked outside and saw the maze before that stretched the castle grounds for at least ¾ of a mile across, maybe even more than three to four hoofball fields.

“Good luck, to all of you. The fate of Equestria is in your hooves. I know you won’t let us down” Princess Celestia told with confidence as they all set off to the castle’s labyrinth of a maze.

“Thanks, Princess. And don’t worry, we got this together.” Twilight told as she and the others rushed off to get started on their quest at hoof, Discord still laughing as he seemed to observe the seven heroes at their journey.

“W-We have to go in there?” Fluttershy asked in fear as they all approached the entrance.

“I think so… but something seems odd here…” Syera told as she looked around ready for nearly anything to happen as of now.

“Don’t sweat it Syera, I think Dopey Discord forgot about these babies!” Rainbow Dash gestured to her wings as she flapped them and was about to fly upward. “I'll just do a quick flyover and we'll have the Elements in no time.” However her wings suddenly vanished. “My wings!” As did Fluttershy who screamed when that happened.

“Your horn! My horn! Ahhh!” Twilight and Rarity both screamed. However, Syera seemed to focused for what was in front of them that had appeared.

“Hahaha! You–You should see the looks on your faces. Priceless!” Discord told while laughing his butt off, however…

“GOTCHA!” Syera rushed Discord with high speed upward and landed one good hit right im his crooked smile, knocking his one jagged tooth out. Making him crash down. However he laughed and coughed at the same time and got up.

“Haha! my oh my, you got a wallop of a punch on you, you caught me so off guard I can’t… Believe it!” Discord had told as he did the same to Syera in the gut with his knee, this hit knocked the wind right out of her.

“Ough…!” Syera wheezed and dropped to her knees, the Super Saiyan was literally knocked out of her. Pinkie and Fluttershy rushed to her aid.

“That was only a taste of my abilities Syera, be weary since I won’t play nice when I have to.” Discord told as he slithered his way close to the saiyan and saw her still holding her gut still sorta gasping for air, Fluttershy and Pinkie backed away. However, he didn’t expect her fist to go straight to his gut too and stick there for a moment.

“Hrng! Noted, I hope you realize I don't play nice when I have to either…” She grunted out with a smirk which is when Discord had to laugh as he coughed too, only to back away before them all still laughing, however he didn’t like it when he coughed up blood in his palm. He growled lowly.

“Enough toying with Syera Discord! Give us our wings and horns back!” Twilight demanded however a laugh came from Discord as he then explained.

“You'll get them back in good time. I simply took them to ensure there's no cheating. You see, this is the first rule of our game: no flying, and no magic.” Discord explained as he rested himself on the hedges of one of the castle maze then put himself close to each other ponies there as he showed them where their wings and horns would be if they had them.

“The first rule?” Rainbow Dash asked confused.

“The second rule is everypony and every saiyan… has to play or the game is over, and I win. Good luck, to everyone!” He told laughing away but then winced in pain as he still felt those lucky blows that Syera gave him to the face and gut. The tooth Syera knocked out disappeared too, likely he could heal quickly and put his teeth back in. It was then Syera slowly got to a standing position.

“You ok Syera?” Fluttershy asked.

“Yeah, you took one heck of a blow from him to the gut dear.” Rarity told as she went to comfort her friend who was in pain.

“I’m fine, but heh, he is strong I’ll give him that, that really tickled which I loved… I’m glad I got two good hits on him though.” Syera said spitting a little bit of blood to the ground beside her as she wiped her mouth.

“Oh my, I hope we can beat him for good though once we do find him and get our wings and horns back.” Rarity told.

“Never fear, girls. We have each other!” Twilight told confidently, and she was right.

“True that! There's nothing we can't overcome if we all stick together!” Rainbow Dash agreed to that statement all the way.

“Alright, girls, let's do this!” Twilight had spoke.

“Together!” Syera cheered as she took the first step inside the maze.

“Together!” They all shouted as they stepped in together at once, however, what they did not expect was the maze split them apart and separate them from one another as walls of grass grew in between them. It must be part of Discord’s game.

“Stay calm, girls!” Twilight shouted as they all screamed in a bit of shock.

“Yes! Everypony head to the center as quickly as possible and we'll regroup there then teach this bastard Discord who’s boss!” Syera told with a fist held high and a took off.

“Moving out!” Rainbow called out as she went through the maze too.

“See you in the center.” Rarity shouted as well as she made her trek in the vast unknown.

“Yee-haw, Yeah!” Applejack shouted as she proceeded.

“See you guys there!” Pinkie told as she hopped and skipped in the labyrinth of unknown perils.

“What's that? Who's there? Girls!” Fluttershy screamed for help.

“Fluttershy, just remember, keep moving forward and you’ll make it. I promise as well as the others to find you.” Syera told as she paused in running ahead her path then continued.

“Mm… Ok, Thanks Syera, thank you girls, but please… find me quick!” She told with a scared meek tone as she then soon slowly but surely made her way through the maze.

Easily ten minutes into Discord’s little game, Syera came to a halt when she saw one of the corners she turned, the path was filled to the brim to what seemed to be evil creatures that surrounded her.

“Hmph! bring it on!” She told as she began to fight them head on. One by one they dropped. “Come on… get serious already.” Syera and her courageous spirit ran high and mighty, however soon her enemies then played a dirty mind trick, they then morphed into what looked like… her friends.

“You know, one thing about being filled with courage, there is always a breaking point to it, and that is the hardest when you test it… against those you love versus when you use it to protect them…” Discord’s voice told in her mind.

“No… I will not fight my friends… Even if I were forced to! I won’t!” Syera told as she gritted her teeth filled with the courage that drives her to this day.

“Oh come now, you know what needs to be done… just let it all slip out Syera.” Discord said behind the voices of each of the figures that appeared before her that represented her friends.

“Ahhhh!!!!” Syera was overwhelmed to the point she felt she was gonna break down, but then… she saw her friends for who they were.

“Heh…” She smiled meekly, however she saw an image to where they got in a big argument, and their friendship… shattered. This, really made her snap.

“NO!” She screamed which caught Discord off guard and the whole illusion he had in front of her dropped as soon as her aura bursted out, her Super Saiyan form glowing and… raging at full on, it seemed to be growing in more power too.

“That’s not…. going to happen! That’s pathetic, even for my friends!” Syera told gritting her teeth, Discord persisted.

“But are they truly your friends! In the end they will turn their back on you for who you are… So do what is needed and take them out!” He demanded with a laugh and a bit of anger

“I know who they are… And for me to do what is takes to do what is right versus what needs to be done... just goes to show where one’s heart is! And I choose to do what is right than what it takes because I know what it takes! And I know taking you down is what needs to be done! So don’t you dare… pit me against my frieeeeeeends!!!” Syera screamed as she then powered up to an even higher level due to her anger and rage.

However, this… was different, she happened to not only transform, she seemed to have amped it up since her drive and anger towards her enemy and the threats of losing her friends due to her own powers.

“DISCORD!!!” Syera power was overflowing.

“My oh my, what a real primitive being you really are, I mean just look at you with your anger! And this form you have, glowing all about with your serious posture, I’m honestly surprised Celestia even chose to keep a worthless monkey like you hanging arou–!” Discord was stopped in his tracks when Syera suddenly hit him so hard it made him split in half. His reaction time was so delayed from how fast it was. Syera was now on the other side of him and looked over her shoulder at him on the ground.

A shriek of pain erupted from him, however due to his magical abilities and his strong posture, he pulled himself back together for the time being, though it wasn’t pretty since his flesh and bone had to reattach in a painful fashion as he slowly got up.

“Nrrg! Damn it, what’s wrong in having a little bit of fun in chaos huh!? You know this world you know wouldn’t have been shaped if it weren’t for my influence! You are just a brute who draws from emotion and those you love, well guess what, I can play at that game, cause this one you are playing will break your courage one way or another… I swear it!” Discord told with a maniacal laugh and snapped his fingers and disappeared. However when he did, a piece of the wall fell down and in came Twilight.

“Syera!” Twilight ran up to the Saiyan who looked forward and saw her unicorn sister, and she held open her arms and caught her in an embrace of pure love for one another.

“Twilight… I’m so glad you’re ok… Where are the others?” The saiyan asked.

“I haven’t found them yet and… whoa–” Twilight was cut off from her Sister’s new appearance since it looked different from her normal Super Saiyan state, her hair appeared more corse and spiker than how her normal Super Saiyan form looks since now, her two front bangs are gone, well actually they raised up with the rest of her hair, still slightly sticking out though.

“What?” Syera asked as Twilight gave a bit of a confused look, then the hornless unicorn spoke up.

“Syera… your Super Saiyan form, this is new, Because you didn't bulk up your muscle mass or anything by much, and your hair…” Twilight tried to hold back a chuckle. “Now that I see your mane line and how it’s shaped since your bangs kinda obscured them before, but now I don’t see them hanging in your face, but it looks great!” Twilight complimented her sister’s new form. However now was not the time for more sentiment, they have to find their five friends and beat Discord.

“Did that encounter help me gain a new power I didn’t know I was capable of?” Syera asked herself as she still maintained this current transformation without turning it off, it seemed like her body accepted it. Every once in a while too she see a small electric shock bolt flow around her body and hear the bolts pop around once in a while. This kinda freaked Twilight out a little.

“Whoa! Electricity? Now I know this is definitely a new one.” the lavender unicorn chuckled.

“Hmm, yeah. But still I’m sure we can study this more later, we should get stick together and find the others.” Syera suggested which is when Twilight gave a firm nod.

“Yes, let’s go.” Twilight told as a new path opened up in the maze.

As they were making their way through, it seemed they were going around and around in circles from how extensive this labyrinth was. Though it could be Discord’s magic altering this place.

“By the way, how did you find me?” Syera asked.

“I felt a rumbling in the ground and I heard you scream out Discord’s name from a distance so I followed that also a certain golden glow off in a distance.” Twilight told with a smirk.

“Oh, that makes sense…” Syera told with a bit of a chuckle and rubbing the back of her head. This form she obtained. She was trying to think of a name for it.

“Hey, what do you think I should call this transformation?” Syera asked and Twilight thought for a moment.

“Well, it is Super Saiyan right, just a little more amped up right? How about this one.” Twilight then paused for a moment for Syera to respond.

“Hit me” The saiyan told.

“Alright, here it is. A Super Saiyan… Two?” Twilight told with a smile.

“Super Saiyan Two eh? Hmm… It seems to be the best way to explain this one. But yeah, Super Saiyan Two, I like it.” Just before Syera could say more to Twilight, they heard what sounded like a loud scream come off in a distance, it sounded like Applejack.

“Was that Applejack?!” Twilight asked.

“Let’s go quickly! AJ!?” Syera called out as she rushed quickly to the point where they heard the scream, suddenly a path opened up and there it showed Applejack standing there in a corner of this one section of the maze. Though she seemed… quite off for some reason.

“Applejack, thank Celestia, we thought we lost you and you ok? We heard you scream and some voices that came from this area, who were you talking with and what made you scream?” Twilight asked.

“I was talking to... uh... nopony! Nopony whatsoever! And the scream that was nothing, just saw my own reflection!” Applejack told as she didn’t make eye contact whatsoever and puckered up her lips as she did so, this… seemed… off for somepony like her.

“Uh… what just happened?” Syera just whispered to Twilight.

“I don’t know, but did Applejack just…” Twilight was about to say more but Applejack then suggested something important.

“Come on, uh, we best be going. to find the others and such” Applejack told as she trotted on ahead.

“I’d never take her for a liar so… I’m at a lost. I just hope it wasn’t Discord playing a trick on them for him to cheat and win this game…” Syera told as she walked after Applejack.

“Yeah, Applejack lying, that’s absurd. I hope…” She told as she trotted behind Syera to wonder this labyrinth for who knows how long to find the others and end this game.

Out of the blue though, a voice shouted from a distance.

“Stop laughing at me!” It sounded like Pinkie’s voice.

“Hey, y'all hear that!?” Syera asked.

“Nope!” Applejack told still looking around avoiding eye contact.

“Come on!” Twilight told as she ran ahead.

“Right!” Syera shouted as she ran with her, as well as the supposive liar Applejack with them. This labyrinth much do things to the mind, or its just Discord.

When the three friends got close, they found another pathway open up for them and there stood Pinkie with an angry face on her which was surprising since she never seemed this way before.

“Pinkie Pie! Are we glad to see you!” Twilight told happily.

“Oh you are, huh? Why? Need a good laugh?” She asked angrily.

“In a cosmic sorta way yes, we could use a good laugh Pinkie.” Syera told crossing her arms smiling.

“Well, Miss funny Super Saiyan Two gal, is this how you get your sick kicks!?” Pinkie asked getting in the saiyans face and showing pictures of what looked like…

“What? it's just me, in a bunny su- OH MY GOODNESS! DISCORD!!!” Syera shouted in anger as she saw the photos from Pinkie, and they were dropped on the ground by her, Applejack and Syera saw them too.

“That’s it… I’m gonna kill him when I see him.” Syera said cracking her knuckles and neck in anger as she lead the way with her aura surging, electricity cracking almost each step she took.

“Don’t worry Syera, we’ll stop him. But about Pinkie? What do you suppose has her so upset? It's not like her.” Twilight asked as she then ripped up the photographs.

I didn't notice anything strange about Pinkie!” Applejack told, still obviously lying for whatever reason that happen to cause her to.

“Weird. Better pick up the pace before the stress of this gets the better of all of us Syera.” Twilight told as she walked next to her angry glowing sister.

“Yeah… Noted” Syera told as she shot an energy blast up in the sky to relieve a bit of anger. Little did she know that “little” energy blast shot it’s way across a few star systems very fast and blew up a uninhabited Centaur. Though it did make a nice meteor shower to come.

As the grumpy Pinkie, lying Applejack and Super Saiyan Two Syera as well as Twilight trotted and trotted through the labyrinth for who knows how long, they came across another distant voice.

“Mine!” It sounded like Rarity, followed by a loud crash and boom, a lot of rubble must’ve came down from the look of the dust cloud from up ahead.

The gang rushed ahead towards the mess, however one chunk of a rockwall stood in their way.

“Well, Rarity. It took forever, but it was worth it. Who knew three little gemstones would turn out to be this handsome hunk of a diamond? Now to get you home~” Rarity’s voice was right behind the wall, and she grunted with the sound of something big that was lifted off the ground.

Syera knocked the wall down with one look at it, her aura pushed it aside.

“Rarity! Are we glad to see… And uh… Why are you carrying a humongous boulder?” Twilight asked confused.

“What do you mean, "boulder"? This big beautiful bedazzling rock is a diamond! And it's all mine. Keep your envious little eyes off it! I found it and it's mine fair and square!” Rarity told, which bewildered almost everypony there, however Syera chuckled a bit.

“Alright Rarity, let’s get you and that “Diamond” out of here ok, but not before we find the others.” Syera told with motioning her index and middle fingers with both hands as she raised her arms out to her sides. And with the group a little more whole now, they continued wandering the maze.

“Alright, who are we missing?” Twilight asked as she looked at her friends then Syera.

“Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy… And speaking of Fluttershy…” Syera then concentrated and then she felt her energy signature, she was close and…

“Discord…” Syera shot her eyes open and gritted her teeth. “DISCOOOORRRD!!!!” The super saiyan then ran ahead of the group fast, they tried to keep up but they were too slow for her. It was soon Syera skidded around a corner panting and saw him and Fluttershy as he said this and touched Fluttershy on the head.

“Oh, for goodness sake! You've been kind for far too long, my dear. Time to be cruel. Arrivederci!” He told in anger, but when he caught sight of Syera.

“RAHHH!!” Syera rushed as high speed towards him, however he disappeared quickly and he replaced himself with a wooden figure of himself. Which Syera had broke the pieces.

“Nrg…” Syera grunted in anger and back flipped backwards as she was hovered above the ground for a sec for the heat of the moment.

“Aw, boo-hoo-hoo! Couldn’t beat him up fast enough could you Syera? You were too slow!” Fluttershy’s new posture from whatever Discord did to her must’ve made her the opposite of nice.

“Don’t remind me…” Syera then calmed her aura as Twilight and the others caught up.

“Uh… Syera, what happened?” Twilight asked.

“Discord… he’s affecting our friends and who they are… We need to act quickly and find Rainbow Dash before he does the same to her. Come on!” Syera told, which is when Applejack started laughing, this caught Pinkie’s attention.

“And what are you laughing at?!” Pinkie asked in anger.

“Chocolate milk!” Applejack told looking around like she wasn’t at fault.

“Little help here!” Rarity begged.

“Can it you two, now!” Syera told as she pointed to Applejack and Pinkie, She then took the bolder Rarity had in her arms like it was nothing.

“Thank you Syera, But don't get any ideas about my gem! I know where you live.” Rarity told with a serious tone as she eyed the saiyan for a moment.

“Heh, you got nothing to worry about.” Syera told with a not too amused tone of voice since she carried this damn boulder for Rarity’s sake to keep her sanity in check.

However, after an hour of searching high and low, And with Syera’s ability to find out where her Rainbow Dash is in the labyrinth was very hard since Discord’s magic was bouncing all over the place messing with her senses.

“Come on Rainbow Dash… where are you?” Syera told as she then put the boulder or so called “Diamond” Rarity has for just a moment, she just wanted to break the damn thing since its obnoxious to carry around.

“Well, looky up there. Rainbow Dash is flying away, she's abandoning' us.” Applejack told as she looked up and pointed a hoof.

“Now I know that's a lie.” Twilight told as she looked up and… It was not a lie. This caused as gasp from her.

“What!? But how, she lost her wings, there’s no way… Unless… Nrg! Discord cheated!” Syera said grunting in anger, and soon the maze came crashing down, Twilight and Rarity’s horns came back to them and Fluttershy got her wings back.

“Well, well, well. Somepony broke the "no wings; no magic" rule.” Discord appeared before them and snapped his fingers, the earth around them shook and crumbled.

“Game's over! You didn't find your precious elements. And oh… Looks like we might be due for a big old storm of chaos.” Discord had a laugh as he pulled out an umbrella and laughed maniacally.

“You… cheating… cheapskate… BASTARD!” Syera screamed out as her power started to go out of control as she eyed the Draconequus in the eyes.

“Cheater? Me? Oh no, I simply offered Rainbow Dash an easy way out by giving her the option to take her wings and leave. And she did! Which is why she broke the rule of no flying or magic!” Discord told crossing his arms.

“She only took them because you made her… by filling her mind with a false sense of reality like you did with the rest of my friends!” Syera told angrily as she gritted her teeth more and her fists balled up.

“Syera…” Twilight said worriedly for her sister.

“And for tampering with my friend’s minds of who they were! I will never forgive you!” Syera told as she was ready to fight him with everything she had.

“Oh? And what are you gonna do about it Element of Courage? You don’t have the elements of harmony at your side, you can’t defeat me…” He told smirking.

“I don’t need them to defeat you! Now, prepare to meet your end! BECAUSE I’M SENDING YOU STRAIGHT TO HELL WHERE YOU BELONG!!!!” Syera then lit up the entire environment around her and her friends with her aura as she charged the spirit of chaos with all her might.

However, Discord was not taking her serious enough since she appeared right in front of him within a blink of an eye and decked him right in the face, sending him flying but she appeared behind him kicking him upwards then downward with another roundhouse. Then as stayed in the air for a moment before doing something drastic.

“Heh, is that all that you have!? I think I’m barely breaking a sweat with what you’re giving me. However, you could try harder.” Discord told as he brushed himself off and waited for her to come down.

“Nrg… fine! Celestial!” Syera then cupped both her hands together and cupped them to her sides.

“Destruction!” Syera was collecting a huge amount of energy since her aura was glowing and electricity was shocking all around her body and around Discord.

“Hrg! Nrg!” Syera then charged up more but then she disappeared.

“Wait what!?” Discord was shocked, only to hear the sound of Syera’s aura behind her. He turned around and was shocked to see her standing her crouched down in front of him still holding the position and posture as before.

“Hrg! Nnrrrrrrr!!!” Syera was about unleash a blast right in front of Discord.

“Everypony hit the deck!” Twilight shouted and everypony did as they went behind Rarity’s “Diamond” and took cover.

“Oh… by Celestia NOOOOOO!!!” Discord screamed as the energy in Syera’s cupped hands was now pushed out in full force, nothing held back.

“Wave! RRRHAAAAA!!!” Syera threw her arms out in front of her the energy blast then took weight and blasted through Discord, most likely blowing everything he is into pieces since when it collided with him, the beam did not travel so the force of impact was great and it caused a shockwave that radiated throughout the lands and mountains beyond.

“Ha… ha…. ha…..” Syera was panting a little in her new form, however she couldn’t hold it much longer and dropped to her knees, returned to her base form but she couldn’t hold the second form too well.

Once the dust settled, there was not much left of Discord except for his legs and half his torso and an arm. still attached to him. He was motionless to say the very least, so either he is dead now or he is now just scattered.

“Hmm…” Syera then stood up slowly and looked the remains of the mischievous spirit of chaos. Even after dealing such a mighty blast, Syera was still picking up a faint energy signature from his body.

Could this be the end of Discord or is this another one of his tricks?

Last Time on Syera: The Equestrian Saiyan

Discord has made his grand entrance on Equestria with a storm full of Chaos. However, Syera and her friends were able to draw his attention away for the moment.

Pursuing him through the Canterlot Palace Labyrinth with a small game he planned for the Seven friends. However, he pulled a dirty trick to make him win by tricking Rainbow Dash and getting her to take her wings back and leave.

“Well well, Looks like somepony broke the no wings, no magic rule! And so… Looks like we might be due for a big old storm of chaos!” Discord told, however since Syera knew what he had done to win his way out of this, she rushed him with her new found strength and gave it all to him. To the point she blew his top off, Literally.

However, this seemed to not be enough since the spirit of chaos was still kicking and breathing, Syera stood wondering what he was gonna do.

Will he get up or go down for the count!

“Ha… ha…” Syera still stood in pose of the Celestia Destruction Wave as she faced the remains of Discord. His feet were twitching along with his one arm that was reattached, The saiyan then slowly approached his remains to check the damage. While she did that, it seemed Twilight was worried something was not right as well and she shouted to her.

“Syera! Be careful, it could be a trick to think we did succeeded, cause his chaos magic is still around us.” Twilight told her, which is when Syera looked over her shoulder.

“Yeah I gotcha!” She told then she looked at the Draconequus body only to find out, it was gone. “Huh!? Where’s his body?!” Syera shouted, only to now hear laughter from the chaos spirit who appeared behind her.

“Haha! I am here, and I won’t lie my dear saiyan, that hurt quite a lot. And I bet you wouldn’t know how much since I don’t blow people to smithereens!” Discord told angrily, however before he could strike the saiyan, she jumped up and did a backflip away from him and landed next to Twilight. It was then Discord started laughing, which caught Pinkie’s attention.

“And what are you laughing at!?” She screamed at him, which then in turn he calmed his laughter and told.

“Oh I must admit, you seven have just been the most fun! I've haven’t had this much fun in aeons!” Discord had told as he rolled back and snickered more. But Pinkie got in his world and told him.

“Well, quit it! You'd better think before you laugh at the Pink…” She paused for a moment to think then screamed “ie Pie!” however this provoked a reaction from Fluttershy.

“Oh, yeah? Well ha, ha.” Fluttershy mockingly laughed at her.

“Quit it!” Pinkie told the yellow pegasus, however this spell that Discord put on all of them seemed to turn them slowly but surely… more grey and glum.

“No. Ha, ha.” Fluttershy continued, this went on for a bit now it would seem.

“Quit it!” Pinkie yelled once more.

“No. Ha ha-ha ha ha.” Fluttershy still provoked and they went back and forth. However Applejack and Rarity caught Syera and Twilight’s attention.

“Uh... Rarity? This here diamond of yours? Twilight as well as Syera said we should uh… split it seven ways since we, uh, found it together.” Applejack told, however this provoked the Unicorn’s greedy side.

“HI-YAH!” Rarity shrieked as she kicked Applejack in the face sending her backwards a little. “Try it, punk. He's mine. All mine! Ya! Ya! Ya!” She continued to attack the farm pony.

“Girls, why are you all acting like this?” Twilight asked in a worried tone.

“Quit it! Stop it!” Pinkie shouted more at Fluttershy.

“Come on guys, we need to stick together. Now more than ever, since my powers..." Syera paused as she looked at her hand. "Even with this new found strength, alone I cannot take this guy down for the count!” Syera pressured with Twilight to get the mane seven to get back together once again.

“Is that so Syera? Well guess what! Ha, ha!” Fluttershy told and she still mockingly laughed.

“It's just too entertaining.” Discord told laughing as he observed the saiyan and pony friends situation. This provoked the Saiyan’s anger even more.

“Shut it you cocky bastard!” Syera snarled at him.

“Seriously, Stop it, Discord. You're not playing fair in the least bit!” Twilight told after Syera who was at the brink of losing it.

“I'm not playing fair? Perhaps we haven't met. I'm Discord, spirit of chaos and disharmony. Hello? And yes, cocky I am. But a bastard, that’s questionable.” Discord told as he got close to the saiyan and unicorn pony.

“How are we supposed to find the Elements of Harmony when you took away the labyrinth before we could get to the end?” Twilight asked.

“Wait a minute sis… that’s it! Twilight, he never hid the elements here at all!” Syera told as she thought for a moment, which means there is still hope.

“Ding ding! Good work on figuring that part out Syera, I’m surprised Twilight had thought the Elements were in the labyrinth. But let me refresh your memory of the riddle I spoke.” Discord as he stood next to both Twilight and Syera as he took them back in time a little to hear his riddle.

“Twists and turns are my master plan. Then find the Elements back where you began.” He told earlier in the day as they looked back at it with Discord’s help.

“I never said they were in the labyrinth. Which was a good catch Syera, however I’m surprised you all played the little game I had.” Discord chuckled as he walked away after showing the two this flashback.

“But...but…” Twilight was still very confused as what the riddle means.

“Keep trying, Twilight Sparkle. And Syera you might wanna help her out as well as your friends” Discord had told then he mockingly told them both. “Maybe the magic of friendship can help you. Now if you'll excuse me, I have some chaos to sow upon this land.” He told and was gone in a flash.

“Discord! Wait!” Syera called out but it was too late and his energy signature disappeared from the face of the land, only his chaos magic spoke for itself. As a cotton candy storm toiled itself in their area and rained… you guessed it.

“Chocolate milk? I hate chocolate milk!” Pinkie told as she looked up however she still drank a little.

“Ugh! Think, Twilight, think! "Find the Elements back where you began." Back where you began…” Twilight told as she thought long and hard.

“Hmm… I wanna say I got it… but the only thing I can think of is–” Syera was then cut off as she heard her friends still arguing.

“Don't touch my gem!” Rarity called out as she had Applejack ride her so called “Diamond”, however Fluttershy mocked her by touching it.

“I'm touching your gem, Rarity. Ha, ha.” She laughed even more as she hovered above with a hoof on the corner of it.

“Whatchu laughing at?!” Pinkie screamed at her.

“Ugh. I just want to go home…” Twilight spoke, which caught Syera’s ear by surprise.

“Wait a minute… Say that one more time!” Syera told as she got on her knees and held her sister by her shoulders.

“I said I just want to go… Home… Home… HOME! That’s it! "Back where you began!" The Elements must be in—” Twilight paused as both her and Syera both looked in the direction of.

“Ponyville!!” They both shouted at the top of their lungs in cheer.

“Come on, girls! We have our heading!” Syera shouted as she jumped up in joy.

“Yes! And with any luck that we make it back to the library, we can find us the book that will get us out this nightmare for good!” Twilight told with pride and joy. However as she and Syera were skipping their way full of hope, they didn’t realize the stampede of running long hooved bunnies coming towards them and tumbled them down.

“Agh!” They both shrieked in pain, they almost seem flat as the ground itself however they soon popped up from the ground with stars circling their crowns. “Ow…” They both told in pain, however Fluttershy laughed and told.

“Good boy, Angel. Mama's so proud.” Fluttershy smiled, however as soon as the Unicorn and Saiyan got their heads on straight, it suddenly became nighttime.

“Wow, I can see so much better now. Whoa!” It was then the dirt paths became all of sudden slick and filmy, then the sun came back out. “I meant to do that.” Applejack told as she and the others got up from their slip and tumble from the farm pony.

“Wah! Ahh! Whoa! Discord's turned our dirt roads into soap!” Twilight told.

“I heard of having clean streets but this is too much!” Syera told as she got her balance together on the right path.

“But it is Beautiful, isn't it not?” Discord told as he skated beside the ponies and then in front of them.

“Discord… what did you do to our home!? Ahh!” Syera told as she almost slipped again.

“Oh this place, ah so you see.” Discord then cleared his throat and then told. “This is the new and improved Ponyville, and these are only my first of changes.” He explained. Pinkie was then skating across the soapy road with a harsh expression.

“This may look like fun, but it's not.” She told still not showing a bit of a smile as she skated across. This made Twilight and Syera just shake their heads, however Discord came outta nowhere behind them and grabbed both by the shoulder. She held Twilight in his grasp and just rested his other arm on Syera’s shoulder, surprisingly Syera was about 3 feet shorter than Discord himself so it wasn’t much of a height gap between them.

“Picture it. The chaos capital of the world.” Syera and Twilight both looked at Ponyville ahead of them but suddenly the sun went down and the moon rose again bringing night time again.

“Yeah… Wish we could but there is only one problem Discord.” Syera told with a stern expression.

“And that would be?” He asked.

“We can't picture anything. It's too dark.” Twilight answered for her which is when Discord let Twilight go and she splashed on the soapy ground. And proceeded to put his arms out his sides while Syera then looked up him with still a stern look with an eyebrow raised.

“Well, wait a few minutes and you'll see it in the beautiful light of day. Or not.” He told he then jumped like a ballerina and disappeared once more. However Syera sensed where he was and shot a Ki blast in his general direction and it hit him and he scowled in pain.

“Ponyville, the chaos capital of the world? Not if we have anything to say about it. right Syera?” Twilight asked as she looked her sister.

“Yeah, if anypony won’t save our hinds from this madness, then who will?!” Syera told as she powered up.

“Don't worry if anypony will, cause Nopony won't.” Fluttershy told as she skated by on the soapy ground with the mean laughter she constant emits. However the saiyan and Unicorn pressed onward with their friends till there were soapy roads, to tiled roads till there were no roads at all and just an empty void. Once they crossed that, they got to the library by the light of day, however long it would last.

“Okay, we're here. Everyone please, please, please just go inside, please?” Twilight pleaded.

“I absolutely refuse.” Applejack lied, however something was happening to each of them. They all become… grey, super grey.

“With pleasure.” Fluttershy told as she stomped on some wildlife in front of the library then entered.

“I hate libraries!” Pinkie told angrily as she got inside as well. However Rarity seemed to be having a problem.

“Rarity! In the Library now!” Syera demanded as she walked over to the hoarder of a Unicorn.

“Forget it, Syera! I know what you're up to. The second I go in, you'll have your little minion Spike come and take Tom!” Rarity told the Saiyan. which confused her and Twilight.

“Tom? You chose to name that “Diamond” after a pesky cat?” Syera told crossing her arms.

“Well, it's not going to work!” Rarity told finally afterwards.

“You're not going in without ‘him’, are you?” Syera asked still crossing her arms as she looked at her friend.

“Mm-mm.” Rarity nodded, with a sigh of defeat, Syera the walked forward and touch the rock with two fingers and place two other fingers to her head.

“Twilight, make room in there, were coming in.” Syera told the lavender unicorn as she walked inside, and within a few moments, Rarity and Syera were in the library with “Tom” with the use of Instant Transmission. However once they came in, Fluttershy splashed Spike with a bucket of mop water, which woke him up from his nap of cleaning the library.

“Ah! Brrr! What did you do that for, Fluttershy?” Spike asked confused and a bit cranky.

“'Cause you just looked so peaceful.” Fluttershy told with her mean demeanor.

“I...uh...huh?” Spike was confused, however when Syera placed “Tom” on the floor after she and Rarity got inside without having to cause a big hole in the wall. She tossed it down with a bit of a thud.

“Careful, Syera! You'll ruin his beautiful finish.” Rarity told as she caressed the hunk of a rock.

“Oh please, that thing has plenty of scuffs as it.” Syera told angrily as she looked at the dirty piece of the earth they live on.

“Uh… Syera? Twilight? what's going on? Why does everybody look so...gray?” Spike asked.

“Long story, will tell later.” Syera told as she scanned the bookcases and shelves, softly hovering above as she looked.

“Right now, we need you to help us find something.” Twilight explained.

“Hey, you two, what's soaking wet and clueless on what to find?” Fluttershy asked as she hovered above the saiyan and unicorn with the bucket of water still in her hooves.

“Fluttershy, I swear to Celestia, we don’t have time for—” It was then Syera and Twilight both got splashed by Fluttershy by water.

“Your face!” She told as she then plopped down the bucket on Twilight’s head, Syera however took it off her sister’s head. And the water situation, Syera just flared her aura and Twilight just shook herself off.

“What's happened to everypony?” Spike asked as he looked around and wondered what was going on.

“I guess you just bring out the worst in us, Spike” Applejack told which angered Syera to where she looked at her with a glare and she just scurried away chuckling next to the others.

“We will find the time to explain later Spike, We've got to find the reference guide to the Elements of Harmony before one of us does something they'll regret!” Syera told as she crossed her arms eying everypony in the room before she scanned the bookshelves looking for the reference guide of the elements

“The Elements of Harmony? Oh, I know exactly where that book is.” It was then the dragon scurried up a nearby book latter and pulled out the reference guide. “Found it!” He told as he held it in one hand.

“Hah!” Fluttershy then took away the book and held it in her grasp.

“Fluttershy…” Twilight said her name angrily.

“You'd better give us that book if you know what’s good for you!” Syera said as she bawled her fists and did a fighting stance.

“Keep away!” Fluttershy told in a sing-song voice as she then tossed the book to the big fat liar in the room.

“Hey! Applejack, give me that book!” Twilight yelled at her as she and Syera both rushed her, but she tossed it away before they got close.

“I don't have any book.” She told as she tossed it away to Pinkie, then she tossed it around again.

“Stop it right now you guys!” Syera yelled.

“Ugh!” Spike tackled Fluttershy who had the book but Rarity took it.

“Mine!” Rarity screamed out.

“Hey, do you even know what you just stole?!” Twilight told Rarity as she ran away with the Reference Guide.

“No, but if you want it, I want it!” She screamed as she teleported out of the way of Tom, however Twilight ran face first into him.

“THAT’S IT! GIVE US THAT BOOK NOW DAMMIT!” Syera and Twilight screamed, Syera’s energy charged up to an even greater height than before, making her new form appear again since her anger spiked again.

“Where is she? Where's Rarity?!” Twilight asked.

“Beats me.” Applejack told.

“Liar!” Syera then picked up Applejack.

“Huh!?” She gasped.

“I DON’T BUY IT!” She then decked her across the room and it was an all out brawl for the book as Pinkie, Applejack, Fluttershy, Rarity and Twilight dogpiled around Syera, eventually Twilight got the book and Syera flared her aura shoving all of the pony's back away from her, Spike and Twilight.

“Get back! All of you!” Syera told as she pointed two of her fingers forward and shot a few warning blasts at the hooves of their jerk friends.

“This is our book! And I'm going to READ IT IN ORDER TO HELP UP STOP DISCORD!” Twilight told as she flipped it open till eventually the book was out of pages to flip. In the middle of it all, held none other than. “The Elements!” Twilight shrieked in happiness.

“They were here all along!” Syera said happily as she turned her neck, however Rarity wanted to crawl close and take them. However Syera had a stern look and powered up her fingers with a ki blast at the ready and she backed away.

“This is great! Now you guys can defeat Discord and put everything back to normal!” Spike cheered as he clapped his hands together.

“See, girls? We did it! We found the Elements of Harmony! Together!” Twilight said as she looked the four other ponies who were in the room. However they didn’t pay a thought in the world for them at all.

“Heh, let me guess… You poor bastards don't even care, do you?” Syera asked as she put her hands on her hips.

“No!” They all yelled back.

“I never thought it would happen. Our friends Syera... have turned into complete JERKS!” Twilight told angrily.

“We’ll fix these jerks later. Right now, Necklace! Necklace! Necklace! Necklace! Big crown thingy! And… Seventh star Amulet… Come on, everypony, let's end this!" Syera told after putting on her amulet, Twilight had her crown on and placing each element of harmony on the respectful element bearers. Or at least everypony except one...

“But wait! aren't you two missing somepony?” Spike asked. He was right, the blue pegasus was not in the room.

“Nope. We've got the liar, the grump, the hoarder, and the brute. That just about covers it” Twilight told.

“What about Rainbow Dash?” Spike asked.

“Oh, the trechiere? Now that I think about her… Hmm…” It was then Syera smirked as she looked at Twilight and then they both looked at Spike.

“Yup, it's been decided. Congratulations, Spike, you're the new Rainbow Dash. Now let's go!” Twilight told.

“Me? B-b-but what if she finds out I've been impersonating her?” He moans in worriedly. “That won't end well.”

“Well Like it or, you're the best we got for a Rainbow Dash. Now let's go end this bastard so we don't ever have to talk to each other again!” Twilight said.

“Ooo… Not bad use of language Twi” Syera said chuckling. “But yes, let’s end this here and now!”

“Yeah! Woo-hoo!” All of the pony's except Rarity cheered since the hoarder herself was too busy trying to push out Tom.

“Move It Rarity!” Syera screamed and then she readied herself for a kick. “Look out, here comes Tom! Hyah!” She then kicked it out of the library Window making a hole in the wall and it came out with a crash.

“Well, well, well, I see you've found the Elements of Harmony. Oh… How terrifying!” Discord told in a mocking manner and laughed a little.

“You won’t be laughing for long once you get what you’re in for, which is right now. Hope you’re ready you Miscreant!” Syera told bawling her fist in front of her.

“Oh don’t worry, I certainly am. You've clearly out-dueled this miscreant of chaos, and now it's time to meet my fate. I'm prepared to be defeated now, ladies. Fire when ready.” Discord told as he created a Target on his chest cavity.

“Formation, now!” Twilight told as they all got behind Syera ready to charge her up with their power so she can deliver the final blow.

“ "Rainbow Dash", get out here now!” Syera shouted to the little dragon who gulped nervously however, got grouped up with them.

“Alright, Here it goes!” Syera pumped her right fist into her left hand as she then cupped her hands and the elements began to glow, the energy of each power soon gathered in her palms for the Harmonic Blast.

However there was a slight… defect, the Elements then stopped and the energy dissipated.

“What!?” Syera felt the energy disappear from her grasp and it just left her standing there in that pose completely out of energy to shoot at Discord.

“There’s something wrong!? What happened?!” Twilight said with a gasp.

“Mine's workin'. There must be somethin' wrong with yours.” Applejack told as she walked away.

“I HATE the Elements of Harmony!” Pinkie told as she tossed her’s off.

“Hmph! Garbage.” Same with Fluttershy, she tossed her’s away and Rarity took them.

“MINE!” She yelled. Spike felt bad so he took his off and tossed it to Syera.

“Sorry, you two... I guess I'd better get back upstairs and clean up the library. Good luck with all this– whoa!” Spike was about to head back inside but he tripped due to Fluttershy.

“Oops, sorry, Rainbow Crash.” She chuckled as she hovered above the ground.

“Bravo, ponies and courageous Saiyan, bravo!” Discord applauded for their attempt to stop him. Which is exactly he wanted. “Harmony in Equestria is officially dead. Discord rules, Celestia and Luna drools!” He told in a cheery fashion.

“Damn it…” Syera growled.

“It's your fault it didn't work!” Pinkie told as she then looked at everypony there.

“Who are you talking to?” Twilight asked.

“Any of you! ALL OF YOU! I'm outta here!” Pinkie told as she left, Applejack followed suit.

“I better go, too. I've got new better friends waiting for me at the farm.” That was an obvious lie from the farm pony herself.

“Yeah! I'm sick of you losers.” Fluttershy told as she left, everypony there went their separate ways… on an unsettled note.

“FINE! Leave! See if I care!” Twilight yelled at all of them.

“We don't need you guys either way cause I could do this by myself if I wanted to! Cause with friends like you, who needs...enemies…?” Syera told as tears ran down her face. She still stayed in her Super Saiyan 2 state and her aura just settled and she dropped to her knees as Twilight walked next to her and nuzzled her, they shared a moment where they looked at each other then hugged as they shared tears of sadness of losing their friends. However, at that moment they both seemed to have… turned grayer than normal. Syera’s hair in her Super Saiyan form was pure white and her clothes and her body turned gray, same with Twilight and everything about her. Grey and her hair black and with her light grey highlights. However they picked each other up and slowly walked away, to where… they did not know.

“Oh, my stomach! Twilight, Syera, you've got to see what I just did.” Discord grabbed the both of them and they looked over at what seemed to be Berryshine and there was a giant pepper shaker and she sneezes constantly.

“It's priceless!” He laughed wholeheartedly, however he saw how the two sisters were not so enthusiastic.

“Come now, Twilight and Syera Sparkle. You've both got to get into the spirit of things around here! After all, this is your new home.” He told as he pointed to all of Ponyville, in all of its glory and chaos that he created. However, Syera and Twilight both looked at each other then Discord and shook their heads.

“Not anymore…” Twilight told, then Syera continued.

“You’ve won Discord, Do what you want here… It's not our problem anymore, it's be pointless now that our friends are gone and you’ve destroyed what was left of them… So goodbye” It was then Syera powered off her Super Saiyan and just turned away from Discord and told these last few words. “May you live the rest of your life in Chaos and treachery.” Syera then walked away.

“YES!” he shouted but was then shocked a little since he was never told such a thing before. “Wait… did you really just wish me peace?” He asked Syera and she stopped in her tracks.

“If you call destroying reality itself as well as corrupting innocent lives in utter betrayal then yes… I did, don’t make me take it back.” Syera told as she then walked away leaving Discord to just stand in his tracks, however he then laughed triumphantly as he thought over her words, however… he seemed angry as well since it seemed to easy of a victory but he let it slide and enjoyed himself.

Syera then soon joined Twilight and Spike in the Library so they could leave Ponyville and potentially Equestria… for good.

“Pack your things, Spike, we're leaving. Ah Syera, glad you’re here to help us move.” Twilight softly smiled but soon went back to being serious and she just packed things that were important however, something was wrong with Spike that Syera noticed.

“Don't ask where we're going yet Spike, 'cause I don't know yet. Just not here.” Twilight told.

“Wait, Twilight stop packing I think something’s wrong with Spike, he’s spewing up letters like a bastard in here, look.” Syera pointed to all of the letters she upchucked out and he laid there groaning in pain and coughed a little and burped up another letter again.

“Ballocks… Ugh I can't...move. The princess...has been sending these things… since I came back upstairs.” He then belched once again. “Make... it... stop!” Syera grabbed the one he just burped up and she opened it.

“Wait… Twilight, these are…” She paused for a moment as tears ran down her face from what she was reading.

“These are all the letters… I've and... you've written to the princess since we’ve lived here in Ponyville. But why would she send them back?” Twilight asked confused.

“I dont know..., but I think we should read them.” Syera told as she read outloud another one.

"Real friends don't care what your cover is." Syera told as Twilight picked one up.

"Friendship is a wondrous and powerful thing." Twilight said right after her.

"And like the path cut through the orchard, there will always be a way through." Syera told as she read off another one.

"The best thing to do is stay true to yourself." Twilight spoke as she picked another one up.

"Everypony has a special magical connection with her friends. Maybe even before she's met them." They both read together as they picked up the last letter, and they gasped and their aura was restored and their appearance changed back to normal.

“That’s it!” Syera told excitedly.

“Yes!” Twilight shouted and then she spoke.

“Spike! Spike, it's all so clear! Can't you see? Discord's trying to distract us from what's important.” Twilight explained followed again by Syera.

“Because he knows how strong our power in our friendships are, and he's trying to keep us from seeing it! From who we really are, and what we are truly meant for when it comes to him.” Syera told as she clapped her hands and bawled both of her hands into fists in determination.

“Do you remember what I said the first day we arrived in Ponyville?” Twilight asked both Syera and Spike.

“Yes… that the future of Equestria didn't rest on us making friends. But the opposite is true! The friendships we've made since we've been here are what saved Equestria from Nightmare Moon! And what was needed then, is needed to save it from Discord!” Syera told wholeheartedly as she powered up to Super Saiyan, rejuvenated from this. However Spike was still in pain.

“You're right, you two. We've got to fight for our friendships!” Twilight told as she stood next to Syera and Spike.

“For them!” Syera shouted.

“For us!” Twilight shouted.

“For Equestria! We will stop Discord!” Twilight and Syera both told, however Spike groaned a little as he rested in his bed.

“Heh, I think it’s best we leave him to rest.” Twilight told with a chuckle.

“Yeah, now. We need our friends back. Grab the elements and let’s go.” Syera put her pendant around her neck as Twilight put on her crown. She used her magic to levitate the elements of harmony in a pack that Syera had on her back.

“So what’s the plan for restoring our friends back to who they were?” Syera asked as she stretched her legs and cracked her knuckles.

“Remember the failsafe spell I tried using on Discord’s magic? Well I’m gonna use it on them” Twilight told.

“You're kidding, How does it work again?” Syera asked as she opened the door of the Library as they walked outside in the corrupted Ponyville.

“I can use it by applying direct contact with each element bearer, while they have their element is around their neck and my horn comes in contact with their mind so they can remember, who they are. They aren’t themselves as of now, but this failsafe spell will fix it all for the best.” Twilight explained to Syera, it was still a little hazy but she just nodded.

“Alright, I think I understand, somewhat. Let’s get our friends back and send that ugly piece of work Discord back to hell where he came from.” Syera and Twilight soon made their way to their first stop, the first place they checked on the way to Ponyville, Sweet Apple Acres to get the honest Apple of them all, Applejack. However, when they walked up to the farm it was in utter chaos, the place itself looked normal, its just that the livestock was out of the wazoo… Since pigs were flying, chickens were laying eggs like no tomorrow and the cows were mooing like crazy from the amount of milk they produced in such an unorthodox way. However, Syera stopped when she heard Applejack’s voice up ahead, she was with Granny Smith who was tap dancing like a young mare with a cane and all. Big Mac on the other hand was digging holes in the dirt like a dog all around the land.

And so Syera waved to Twilight to follow her as she spotted Applejack and walked towards her, and grabbed her element.

“And so I tried to defeat Discord, but none of my so-called "friends" would lift a hoof to help me.” She lied wholeheartedly against her will since Discord created such a mess of her, he was gonna pay big time.

“Applejack!” Syera shouted her name.

“Me and Syera, were here to bring us together once more to fight for our friendship.” Twilight explained to her honest friend of theirs, before they got closer, Big Mac came out of the ground panting and he licked both Syera and Twilight on the cheek.

“Eck…” Syera wiped her face of his slobbering tongue saliva and then focused back on Applejack.

“Oh, now you want to fight. Where were you and Syera when I was rufflin’ n tufflin’ with Discord?” Applejack told as she took a boxing pose swinging her hooves a few times.

“Enough lies! Snap out it now Applejack!” Syera told as she tackled her down, put her Element around her neck as Twilight performed the failsafe spell.

“You're not a liar.” Twilight told as the spell did it’s job and Applejack soon came back to it and shook her head as she felt Woozy, and her colors of her mane, tail and body as well her cutie mark were restored back to normal.

“Wh-what happened? Twilight, Syera! I saw a vision of us feudin' and fightin'. I couldn't face the truth, so I started tellin' lies. Can you ever forgive me?” Applejack pleaded as she kneeled next to both of then.

“We already have.” Twilight told with a smile.

“Now get back on your hooves Applejack, we got more friends to get back with us. Come on!” Syera told as she ran ahead of the two who followed in suite. Their next stop was Fluttershy’s, she kept her animals astray from her from how mean she was being. However after Syera slapped her silly with one good open palm, Twilight got to work and put her element around her neck.

“Oh no! Twilight, Syera, Applejack, I just had the worst dream! And after that slap Syera gave me, I felt better… but I feel so sad since I was so mean to everypony…” She whimpered and cried.

“It’s alright, and it wasn’t a dream, it was real. But we know who to make pay for it, and it is Discord. Now let’s go get Rarity and Pinkie.” Syera told as they all followed her to the next spot. Rarity’s, where she was polishing that stupid big boulder named Tom.

“Syera? Twilight!? What do you think you're doing?! Get away from my gem! Get away--!” It was then Twilight did her failsafe spell and her element around her neck. A moment later, Rarity came down swiftly with the boulder in her magic grasp and toss it up while Syera blew it to bits. “Let us never speak of this again.” Rarity told, which is then both Applejack and Syera laughed hard. And speaking of laughter, they got the element of laughter herself.

“And I-I turned gray! Can you believe it?!” Pinkie laughed so hard as she was wheeled in a wagon by Syera.

“Yes I can Pinkie, we all did… eventually, but no more, because we will stop the bastard who caused all of this.” Syera told as they soon came upon their final destination, Rainbow Dash’s place however it seemed she wasn’t home.

“Uh? She's not here.” Fluttershy told as she shrugged to the point of not knowing where she could be.

“Without Rainbow Dash, we can't use the Elements.” Twilight told and Syera crossed her arms and closed her eyes to find Rainbow Dash’s ki signature.

“She could be anywhere by now! We're never gonna find her.” Applejack told.

“Yeah, but we don’t have to look far.” Syera told as she looked up after her eyes opened.

“Yeah, 'cause she's right there!” Pinkie pointed towards her as the rest of the gang saw her too.

“Rainbow Dash!” Twilight shouted down to her.

“Hey, guys!” Rainbow shouted back not batting an eye towards them as she chilled on a cloud.

“We've been looking everywhere for you!” Twilight shouted to her in worry.

“That's nice.” Rainbow told not even batting an eye at the direction of her friends.

“Well if you haven’t noticed, Discord's still on the loose! We need you to help us defeat him with your element, Loyalty!” Syera shouted to her as she pumped her left fist into her right hand palm as she told Rainbow Dash about her element.

“Pfft. Loyalty, schmoyalty Syera! Haven’t you seen Ponyville? It's a disaster! I'm staying here in Cloudsdale where everything is awesome!” Rainbow told which confused everypony there, Rarity spoke up first about it.

“How in Equestria can she think that tiny patch of clouds is Cloudsdale?” She asked.

“Heh, the same way Discord got you to think that cheap rock was a bona fide diamond.” Applejack told with a smirk as she and Syera both laughed a little about it.

“I thought we agreed never to speak of that again.” Rarity told in a upset yet embarrassed tone.

“We know, but come on, it’ll be at least a week for that joke to go down” Syera laughed a little but then got serious about the Rainbow Dash situation.

“Ok, I think it’s time for Plan B ladies.” Twilight told with a smirk and they all huddled to go over it. It required some rope as well as the hot air balloon since some of the pony's couldn't fly except Fluttershy and Syera. Luckily as they got what they needed in the meantime, Rainbow Dash was taking one of her afternoon naps, so they positioned themselves right behind her.

“Okay, Fluttershy, you grab Rainbow Dash and hold her down. Applejack will lower me down from this rope so I can cast the memory spell on her.” Twilight whispered to the timid yellow pegasus.

“Got it!” She whispered back, Syera was right behind her with an extra rope to help tie her down.

Fluttershy then tapped on Rainbow Dash’s side and she snorted one good time before waking up to see them. “Um...I was just wondering if it's okay if me and Syera hold you down against your will for a little bit?”

“Why would you tell her that?” Syera asked Fluttershy with a worried tone.

“Nice try! Ponyville's your problem, not mine.” Rainbow told as she flew away fast with her supposive “Cloudsdale to protect” issue.

“Come on, we've got to catch her.” Syera then bursts after her.

“Hyah! faster Fluttershy!” Twilight told as she then made her fly fast as she wiped the rope in her mouth. Rainbow Dash saw this and then all of a sudden turned around and then started doing circular maneuvers in the air around them to throw em off.

“Applejack!” Syera grabbed a rope Twilight had and tossed it to her. However when Applejack got a direct attachment on that hog toss, the rope was insecure and it caught Rarity and Pinkie by the hoof.

“WHOA!” They both shrieked and were dangling by the rope that was wrapped around Rainbow Dash. “PINKIE! You were supposed to secure the ROPE!” Rarity yelled at her.

“Oops.” Pinkie told with a sheepish grin and Rarity just glared at her.

“Hold on girls, I got this one!” Syera then tossed another rope around Rainbow Dash however it seemed very tough to keep hold of her since she was going so fast so all that Syera could do was hold on with both hands as she, Pinkie and Rarity were on for a ride.

“Y'all are slowing her down! Just one more rope and it’ll do it!” Applejack shouted to them.

“Oh, Fluttershy, would you be a dear and FLY FASTER, please?” Rarity shouted.

“I… I can't!” Fluttershy told as she cried and whimpered.

“But you have to Fluttershy! Are you really willing let Discord control Equestria with his chaos!?” Syera told as she was dangling on the rope, but was slowly climbing her way up to try and slow Rainbow down more, her Super Saiyan Two form then powered up more to slow Rainbow Dash down a little as she pulled on the rope now.

“Syera’s right! If you can't catch her, Discord wins!” Twilight told, and this is when Fluttershy snapped.

“That big... dumb… ugly… BASTARD!” Fluttershy screamed which is what caught everypony by surprise and she flew very fast catching up with Rainbow Dash with ease.

“Okay, Applejack, last rope! Make it count!” Twilight told as she tossed the last rope towards Applejack.

“Do it now! We almost got her!” Syera told as she climbed the rope more and powered up her aura. Applejack snagged the third and final rope around their Rainbow pegasus friend and brought her to the ground and held her stationary.

“Lemme go! I don't need you guys! Leave me alone!” Rainbow snarled and snorted out, Syera then gestured her head towards Rainbow Dash to let Twilight know to do the spell. And once she did, Rainbow turned back to her cyan and rainbow loyal self for good.

“Wh-what happened?” She asked a little delirious and then she gasped. “How's Ponyville?” and then she ran to Pinkie and asked. “Where are the Elements?!” and then she tackled Applejack. “Did we stop Discord?” and then she ran towards Syera and jumped in her arms. “Did you get a new haircut or is this a new awesome form of Super Saiyan?” she asked. it was then everypony there group hugged and cheered.

“Ok ok girls, its a little early for a group hug, we can celebrate this mess once we deal with Discord...” Syera told as they still hugged it out after being united once again. However once they all got their Elements equipped, Syera and Twilight led the group to their final confrontation. After seeing Buffalo ballet around in tootoos and somepony floating around with a helicopter hat on making odd noises, they finally met Discord together and whole with the elements.

“Chaos is a wonderful, wonderful thing.” He told himself as he sat on his self proclaimed throne.

“Not as wonderful as friendship!” Twilight shouted.

“Or the beating you’ll get before we turn your ass back into stone!” Syera told as she crack her knuckles and smirked flaring her gold aura with electricity arcs bursting around her.

“Oh, this again?” He told as he drank a glass of that was full of chocolate milk but the glass was consumed and not the chocolate. Then he tossed it away and it exploded.

“That's right. You couldn't break apart our friendship for long.” Applejack told and she was dragged away by Discord’s magic.

“Oh, Applejack. Don't lie to me. I'm the one who made you a liar.” He told and it didn’t stop there as he dragged the others with him. “Will you ever learn?” He asked them. It was then Syera and Twilight looked at each other before nodding and they acted. Twilight formed a barrier around their friends and Syera decked Discord in the jaw with a Super Charged Haymaker.

“HRAH!!!” Syera screamed as time itself seemed to slow down before Discord flew down to the ground and got up holding his jaw in pain. Syera did a frontal flip and landed in front of Twilight and the others.

“I'll tell you what we've learned, Discord: we've learned that friendship isn't always easy!” Twilight shouted to him.

“And there's no doubt it's sure as hell worth fighting for!” Syera told as she rushed Discord again with incredible speed that is almost seemed she floated across the ground, in the process Discord received multiple punches directed right in his gut, making him gasp in pain.

She went behind him at first then did a 180 and connected it with both her left knee then her right knee to the side of his neck, sparks flying off on impact. Then she jolted back and did a full contact samersault. More sparks flew out this time as Discord stumbled onto the ground, blood was leaking out the side of his lips as he was holding his neck.

Syera landed on the ground next to Discord and raised her hand up, slowly turning around with a serious expression.

However Pinkie put a halt to it, this confused Syera a little but let it pass since she was gathering energy either way.

“Wait wait! before we kick his butt!” She then went underneath a cotton candy cloud and got drenched in chocolate milk and drank some of it and ate the whole cloud next then she joined the other ponies after cleaning herself off and growled.

“Nrg! Why don’t you just enjoy my Chaos!?” Discord screamed as he then rushed Syera as she was still charging the ball of energy, his fist punching her dead in the face, but it didn’t faze her one bit since she kept the same serious look with her new power and her Element began to glow and the energy from the others collected in the palm of her hand that was raised.

“Because it is long past due it’s stay. Every chaotic deed you’ve created has an Echo, and in turn, your own mischievous and chaotic power will be your undoing!” Syera told as Discord backed away in fear and shrieked from it.

“No… NOOOOO!!!” He screamed as Syera with the combined elements power, the orb in Syera’s hand, she squeezed it and she threw the energy outward towards him. the sparkles that flowed around Discord locked him place so he wouldn’t move. Then as the mane 7 grouped together, the energy from them came rushing towards the mischievous spirit, unleashing a bright and colorful harmonic Rainbow that not only turned Discord back into stone once again, but thus, cleansed Ponyville and the rest of Equestria all together in one.

Once the dust settled and the light faded.

Syera, Twilight, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Rarity and Fluttershy landed on the ground with a smile. The stone statue of Discord fell on the ground with a thud in front of them. They all cheered and rejoiced in their victory.

Syera on the other hoof was just smiling and laughing softly with her friends in the taste of victory, but then she lost her balance fell down to her hands and knees, all of them gasped and rushed over to her.

“Are you alright Syera?” Rainbow Dash asked worriedly.

“Yes dear, are you ok?” Rarity asked, It was then Syera raised a hand to all of them, and she panted and soon her new Super Saiyan form turned off on her, her hair returned to the dark black redish color it was and her bangs hung back in her face.

“Yeah… I’m just… Hungry is all, and could use a little more training in that new form.” Syera told smiling weakly at all her friends before they all grouped together and laughed, hugged and all the stuff in between that friends do.

Once the rest of the mane 7 helped their saiyan ally and friend back on her two feet, they stood in front of the statue of Discord eying it, wondering in their minds if this will be the last they see of him.

And so with this foe defeated, what will be next to deal with for these group of friends?

Last Time on Syera’s Equestrian Saiyan Adventures!

“Nrg! Why don’t you just enjoy my Chaos!?” Discord had been wreaking havoc and Chaos all over Equestria only till seven friends combined their power together and stopped his reign over the land. The mighty Super Saiyan defended her friendship with her Ponyville friends as they began their final attack on Discord.

“Every chaotic deed you’ve created has an Echo, your own magic will be your undoing!” After successfully gathering the energy they needed to form the attack, the seven friends unleashed an amazing rainbow that rocked Discord to the core, thwarting him and his plans to stone and cleansed the land of chaos and brough harmony to every living thing in Equestria itself.

What had been left of Discord was nothing but the stone statue he was cased in before. Only now, it was permanent thanks to Syera, Twilight Sparkle and their friends.

Now as the seven friends stand before the statue of Discord before them.

Find out, Now!

cue intro music - The Lesson of true Friendship! Zero worries if no friendship problem is amongst us, or no?

Now as the Saiyan and her pony friends stand before Discord’s remains, they wonder if this really is the end.

“Woo hoo! We did it!” Pinkie cheered as she bounced up and down.

“But I just wonder, is this the last we’ll see of em?” Applejack asked, however, Silence was brought when Syera raised her palm in front of her and a small ball of energy formed.

“How about we not second guess ourselves, Cause if anypony here doesn’t object. I’ll just blow his stone butt to pieces…” Syera told with a serious tone and expression. However she was stopped when she heard Celestia’s voice behind them all.

“That won’t be necessary Syera.” She told as she touched her horn to the middle of the Saiyan’s spine and a magic pulse stopped her from gathering anymore energy. This in turn made her freeze up as well and fall to a knee.

“I know it may seem this is the best course of action my dear Saiyan, but I believe there is another solution. However it will require me to do a little research, but for now… I must ask you to stand down.” Princess Celestia told as she gave a signal to four unicorns that were with her to grab Discord’s statue remains and put them on a separate carriage to take back to Canterlot where the Princess can conduct whatever “research” she had in mind.

“Are you sure about this Princess? I think it be easier to dispose ourselves of that Lunatic of a spirit.” Syera told after she shook off the temporary paralysis the Princess gave and stretched her limbs and cracked her neck.

“Trust me Syera, I wouldn’t be doing this if I did not have good intentions with this, but enough talk about this now, I need you as well Twilight and the others to come with me to Canterlot.” Princess Celestia told.

“What’s up in Canterlot Princess? Because…” Rainbow Dash let out a bit of a yawn. “This whole fight and confrontation with Discord left me really beat…” the blue pegasus had told.

“Let’s just say there is a big reward for seven who have defeated Discord, as well as a big feast.” The Princess told chuckling as she knew the mention of food would get Syera pumped.

“A big feast!?” Syera shouted.

“Reward!?” Rainbow shouted as well.

“That sounds fantastic!” the both of them shouted which in turn had made everypony there laugh with the two who were excited for this reward and feast.

So soon later as Syera and her friends along with Twilight and Celestia made their trip to Canterlot. There was a big Ceremony involved in the heroism of Syera, Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Pinkie Pie & Fluttershy. And by big, the hall they held it in had a lot of ponies ranging from those in Canterlot and Ponyville combined!

The horns of the ceremony sounded as the doors opened for Twilight, Syera and the others. They slowly made their way down the hall, Everypony their held their applause and cheer till the Princess had spoken after the horns of triumph stopped.

Once the seven had stepped upon the altar in the throne hall. Syera had taken a knee as she stood next to her friends and sister with honor. Princess Celestia gave a warm smile, as did Syera, Applejack winked at Twilight and she gave a nod. Spike waved to the seven heroes and they waved back smiling. Then as the horns lowered down a pitch, Celestia began to speak.

“We are gathered here today to once again honor the heroism of these seven best friends who not only stood up to the villain Discord, but have saved Equestria from eternal chaos and turmoil once more!” With that told from the Princess, the crowd of ponies cheered in great excitement and thankfulness once the curtain fell on the new ornament in the window, depicting the seven heroes/friends standing before Discord and defeating him.

The seven turned and waved at the crowd before them and bowed in great honor for saving the land they live for and love for generations to come.

“Hehe, thank you! But one question Princess.” Syera asked and the crowd went silent to hear the Saiyan’s words. “Can we eat now please! I’m starving!” Syera told which in turn made everypony there fall over laughing. However soon later after the commemoration had ended; Syera had been given an escort as well as Twilight and the rest of the seven to the main dining hall, where the feast mentioned before had been prepared. It all was delicious looking and well prepared. Syera wasted no time as she sat down and got to chowing down as well as the others. It was a feast to remember since not a single crumb was left over.

“Hoo wee, now that’s what I call “cleanin’ house.” Applejack told as they all were sorta laid out on the table, their bellies full and sticking out a little.

“Heh, you can say that again AJ” Rainbow Dash told as she let out a belch.

“My oh my, would you please have some sort of manners Rainbow Dash.” Rarity told as she heard her friend let out such a burp, however Syera was next.

“Excuse me Rarity, hehe.” Syera told rubbing the back of her head. “Ah man… I feel like I need a wheelchair after all the food we consumed.”

“Heh, you and me both” Rainbow Dash chuckled. So as their bellies were full and their minds on nothing but taking it easy for a bit after such a battle, one thing was odd in what was decided for the elements of harmony. In which Celestia came in the dining hall and explained to Syera and Twilight as they were the only ones awake on the table where there were nothing but empty bowls, plates and pitchers as well as glasses scattered about. It was some feast the seven all spread out on the table. All huddled around Syera. Celestia leaned over and then broke the news

“Syera, Twilight. It has come to me that I know who the elements of harmony truly belong to, they have the right place with you.” This surprised both Twilight and Syera that this would come from Celestia. The saiyan and unicorn sat up for a moment just so they could face the princess eye to eye as they got all this.

“Wait, you want us to keep them?” Twilight asked and with firm nod coming from the Princess, it was clear when she herself had given a case that had the elements inside.

“Alright, don’t worry Princess, we will keep these safe, so no other threat like Discord will pass by us. Hell, if I need to. I’ll visit King Kai and many other teachers for training in otherworld to train and become stronger, This world does need a protector to not only protect you guys but this entire planet and its inhabitants.” Syera took the vow with confidence which made the Princess tear up a little then hug the saiyan, Syera did the same back as the Princess spoke.

"I know you will do the right thing Syera, the same with you too Twilight. I am so proud of you all. Don't let me down." Celestia told after the embrace to both Syera and Twilight. With a firm nod of acknowledgement from the saiyan and unicorn, Princess Celestia let them be for a bit till they were all escorted to a big room with a bed where the seven heroes could sleep.

And so, a few weeks after the fall of Discord. It would seem that everything became quiet and calm. No threats have been perceived or any kind of disharmony.

And so, Syera along with Twilight and Spike today have given this time of peace and quiet their time to plan things out, well mostly Twilight had things to plan out.

“Quill.” Twilight spoke as Spike and Syera were getting things marked and checked off on a checklist they’ve created for reorganizing the Library.

“Check.” Spike told.

“Parchment.” Twilight spoke next.

“Check-a-roo.” Syera told.

“Extra ink.” Twilight spoke.

“Check-a-roni.” Spike told next.

“Extra extra ink.” Twilight then told as Syera placed the said extra extra ink down.

“Extra extra Check!” Syera told with a smile as Spike marked it off.

“Is that everything on the checklist?” Twilight wanted to double check.

“Yep, yep and yep” Spike confirmed.

“Perfect! Now that we've completed the checklist of things we need to create a checklist, we can make the checklist of the things we’ve gotta get done by the end of the day. Ready?” Twilight asked the two of them.

“Ready!” Spike and Syera told at the same time.

“Item one: create checklist of the things we three have to accomplish by the end of the day.” Twilight told, this caused both Syera and Spike to gasp loudly and fall over with a funny pose.

And so, the day began, with them going all the way from sorting their inventory stock for the month since Syera required a good amount of food and supplies for her workout routines. Also Spike on the other hoof, he needed a few things as well and his private stock of gems to much on ever so often were added on the list, so a trip to Rarity’s was in order. And this continued throughout the day, one by one, dozen after dozen. It was pretty hard but worth it, the great thing was that Syera and Twilight were going to an afternoon picnic with their Ponyville friends.

Luckily, the three were ahead of schedule and the day was still young and short.

“How are we looking, Spike?” Syera told as she had her on arms up and around the back of her neck as they walked through town with their long, long list.

“Let's see... We've already dropped off Twilight’s cape at the cleaners, returned the blackboard she as well borrowed from Cheerilee, ordered new parchment and quills from the stationery shop… Oh and we also put in that special order for those weights you ordered from Canterlot, remind me, how much do those weigh each?”

“Um… Let me think… there’s four of them and they each weigh in about…. 1 ton each… so their 4 tons. I remember King Kai telling me I should start training with those since the ones that weighed Half a ton each were starting to get stale in my training regime.” Syera explained, which shocked Spike and Twilight.

“Yowza! To think you were training with that much weight on you Syera, yeesh and now you’ll be working with 4 tons of weight!?” Twilight asked shocked.

“Well shoot Syera, if you become a Super Saiyan I bet you can lift 4 tons easily!” Spike told with a smile.

“Yeah… but come on, that be too easy.” She chuckled which shocked the two, so the Saiyan put a halt to her laughter. “Ok so besides the weights… about those parchments and quills.” Syera told as they were getting off topic.

“Hmm… yeah about them. Seems like we just placed an order for those only about four or five days ago.” Twilight told as she rubbed her chin.

“Can't imagine why we go through so many of them.” Spike told with a “not so sarcastic” tone.

“I can take a few reasons why.” Syera chuckled with Spike.

“Anyway… Sounds like we're ahead of schedule. What's next?” Twilight asked.

“Cupcakes!” Spike told with excitement, and so the three desperados made their way to Sugarcube Corner to pick up the dozen cupcakes for the picnic later.

“Whoa…” Syera and Spike said as they looked at the… thirteen cupcakes!?

“Uh, I’m pretty sure we only ordered twelve Mrs Cake.” Twilight told.

“Oh, I know, dear, but I had an extra. So I thought I'd make it a baker's dozen.” Mrs Cake explained, which it seemed Syera had no problem with along with Spike, however Twilight seemed to have a problem.

“Oh, that was very thoughtful of you. It's just some of the icing from the extra cupcake is getting all over the one next to it. See?” Twilight Pointed out with a hoof to one cupcake in particular.

“Ohh... sure…” Mrs. Cake told confused yet she agreed.

“Oh? Is that so? I think I know how to fix that.” Syera told as she then grabbed the one cupcake that had a little extra icing and ate it in one single chomp.

“Syera!?” Twilight asked a bit confused yet angry. Once Syera swallowed the cupcake, she looked at Twilight.

“What? Problem solved.” Syera told as she closed the case and had Mrs. Cake wrap it up for later. “Thanks again Mrs. Cake, and I must say, these baker’s dozen cupcakes are delicious!” Syera told as she carried the case of them out of Sugarcube Corner with Spike and Twilight.

“Was that really the best course of action to stuff your face of that Cupcake sis?” Twilight asked with still of an angry tone.

“Oh come now sis, don’t be so butthurt. Besides, it saved us time and were still ahead of schedule. Plus you probably would’ve done something obnoxious like make these cupcakes into muffins by scrapping all the icing around to make them even spread, thus making such a big mess not worth wild.” Syera told with a smirk, and so now that they handled that, they finished the remaining few things left and headed home to the Library.

“Looks like that’s everything” Syera told as she placed the cupcakes in the refrigerator so they won’t spoil.

“Almost everything.” Twilight told with a smirk as she then looked at Spike.

"Triple-check checklist to make sure we didn't miss anything when we double checked the checklist!" Uh... check!” Spike told, however his wrist was swollen and cramped up on him.

“Whoa… you ok Spike?” Syera asked concerned as she looked at his wrist.

“Ugh... I've been holding that quill so long, I've got a claw cramp! Well, good thing we don't have anything to report to Princess Celestia this week... I don't think I could write another word!” Spike told as Syera got some ointment for cramps and a wrist wrap.

“Heh, you can say that again. Besides, its been quiet for weeks. So you don’t have to worry a claw finger Spike.” Syera told as she wrapped his claw hand up.

“Wait… We haven't sent a letter to Princess Celestia this week?!” Twilight said in a shocked tone of voice as she then scurried to the file cabinets.

“Why? Is that bad?” Spike asked as Syera was still wrapping his wrist up, however when she rushed over to Spike to get in his face, she knocked the Saiyan over a few feet.

“Wahaaaahh!!!!” Syera shrieked as she was forced back so suddenly.

“Bad? BAD? Of course it's bad! I'm supposed to send Princess Celestia a letter every week, telling her about a lesson I've learned about friendship! Not every other week, not every ten days, every... single... week!” Twilight told as she poked her hoof on Spike’s belly while telling him. This is when Syera got up and brushed herself off.

“Wait a minute, when did the Princess establish that rule?” Syera asked, however Twilight was still not paying attention to the confused Saiyan and dragon as she scurried the file cabinet.

“Ohh... Where's my calendar, where's my calendar?!” Twilight shrieked, however when Syera went over and grabbed her and turned her head to the wall where’s been..

“Where it.. always is?” Spike told as he finished wrapping his claw.

“Since we moved here last summer.” Syera told pointing to it as well.

“When did we send the last one?” Twilight asked worriedly.

“Last... Tuesday I believe?” Spike told with a bit of confusion since he only guessed.

“And today is…” Twilight then looked at the calendar then Syera answered

“Tuesday.” As she looked at the calendar, this made Twilight flip her lid all of a sudden.

“Argh! Nononononononono! If I don't send her a letter by sundown, I'll be... tardy!” Twilight told which then made Syera think for a moment but then facepalm.

“Oh no…” Syera knew this phase before with Twilight, it’s like the end is nigh of she ends up tardy.

“What's that now?” Spike asked Syera as to why she said such a thing. However before the saiyan could tell the current situation, the unicorn in question then told Spike.

“Tar-dy, Spike! Late, I'll be late! Oh, how could I let this happen? I'm usually so organized. I've never been late with an assignment.” Twilight as she paced around and around thinking of what to do.

“Oh, please! You're the most studious student ever! I'm sure the Princess will forgive you if you miss one little deadline.” Spike told which made Syera gauf a little at the word “Studious”

“Heh, I think the word you’re looking for Spike is Over-zealous.” Syera told as she crossed her arms but stuck a hand out at the mention of the word she chose.

“Ha ha, enough of the jokes Syera, this is serious. Plus I can’t take this chance since we are dealing with the ruler of all of Equestria, The pony who holds my, even your fate in her hooves! What if she doesn't forgive me?” Twilight told as she got up close to Syera.

“Twilight come now, do you really believe she’d even-” Before Syera could voice anymore she was interrupted with her.

“What if instead she starts thinking we aren’t taking our studies on friendship seriously?” Twilight asked.

“Why in her name would she-” Twilight interrupted Syera once again…

“What if she makes us come back to Canterlot and puts us back in school and makes me and you prove we’ve been taking them seriously by giving me and you a test?! What if we don't pass?!” Twilight asked two unorthodox questions that are pretty easy to answer since her intelligence level is dead on perfect if not flawless.

“Twilight, that’s very preposterous since that very question is far perplexing to the extreme.” Syera was beyond confused to what her dear unicorn sister was on about.

“Yeah what are even talking about Twilight, why wouldn't you pass--” Spike was cut off since it was obvious the poor lavender egghead was still rambling.

“She's my teacher.” Twilight told.

“Yeah and she is mine as well Twilight, what are you getting at?” Syera asked confused with an expression of such perplexity it was very bad.

“If that is so, then do you know what teachers do to students who don't pass?” Syera just rolled her eyes and sighed at Twilight’s question.

“Do you?!” Syera asked since she felt she was being lectured by a teacher.

“They send them back a grade!” Twilight screamed.

“Well yeah but Twilight, there is one problem with—” Syera was cut off again since Twilight just rambled on more nonsense.

“But she won't just send us back a grade. She'll send us back to... magic kindergarten.” Twilight as she sat there and she closed her eyes in fear, she was obviously visioning it right now from the way she was trembling.

However this is when Syera had enough and walked up to her then slapped her lightly, however it was enough for her to snap out of whatever vision or fake misfortune she was having.

“Are you seriously hearing yourself right now?!” Syera asked which gave Twilight a confused yet baffled look. “We aren’t in grade school anymore Twilight, we aren’t in College and we most certainly aren’t tardy for anything!” Syera told with a serious expression and she then grabbed onto both of the shoulders of her pony sister and looked her in the eye then smiled. “Besides, why in the world would you be sent back to grade school? That’s just insane to do to someone your age I mean come on, that’s just gross…”

“I have to agree with Syera, Twilight. That is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard coming from you in awhile. You're not going to be sent back to magic kindergarten anytime soon or ever for that fact.” This seemed to calm down Twilight for the moment at least. However she thought of something again very unorthodox.

“You're right you two. I have no reason to worry. Because I'm going to solve a friend's problem and get that letter to Princess Celestia before sundown!” Twilight told, which caused both Syera and Spike to just sigh in defeat.

“So... got any problems, troubles, conundrums, or any other sort of issues, major or minor, that I as a good friend could help you solve?” Twilight asked Spike with a bright big smile.

“Huh. Hmm. Huunh. Huh... I got nothin'.” Spike told as he thought for a moment. However this caused Syera to be Twilight’s main attention with a desperate expression.

“Sorry Twilight, I got nothing either. Plus ok crap I’m late to something. See you at the Picnic!” Syera told as she put her two fingers to her forehead and she disappears. This caused Syera to sigh. However Twilight did not give up just yet

“Then it looks like I'm going to have to find somepony who does!” Twilight then ran out of the library seeking a friendship problem.

“This won't end well.” Spike told as she sighed and cleaned up the library’s mess that Twilight left in her freakout. So little to everypony around, a clock was ticking and tocking as well as knocking on Twilight’s timeline for what will happen till the end of day.

Meanwhile where Syera had instantaneously transported to, the saiyan had appeared before her friends Rainbow Dash and Applejack.

“Syera! Just in time, were about to start!” Rainbow Dash hoof bump the saiyan’s fist.

“Hell yeah, let’s do this!” Syera told getting pumped up.

“Hol on now, if ya’ll wanna do this, you’re gonna need these.” Applejack told as she then gave the two a pair of construction goggles.

“Hmph, safety first.” Syera and Dash both told as they put them on and then they got ready.

“Wait! Syera let’s make this even more fun.” Rainbow Dash told, which kinda confused the saiyan but then Dash pointed to Syera’s hair and then screamed like she was charging up to go…

“Oh right! Nrrrgg… HAAAA!!!” Syera then turned Super Saiyan as she flexed her entire body and her muscles buffed up a little in her legs, chest and arms. “Oh yeah… this’ll be great Rainbow Dash.”

“Yeah! Rahhh!!!” It was then Rainbow Dash rushed ahead of Syera.

“Yeahhhh!!” Syera rushed right behind her with a serious posture and attitude as the Rainbow Pegasus and almighty Super Saiyan get to work on demolishing Applejack’s old barn, she was gonna put up a new one due to the state of the new one. But of course she needed to take it down. So she asked Rainbow Dash and Syera to take it down so not only she will be able to get a new barn up, but this old one had to come down first. Plus it is giving Syera and Rainbow a funtime yet a great workout.

It was then Syera and Rainbow Dash took a moment and paused to look at each other before they then charged back in together. However, they were suddenly halted by a magic force.

“Rainbow Dash! Syera! Stop!” A voice called out from behind which was in face the voice that belonged to Twilight.

“Listen, you two. I know you're upset with Applejack, but don't worry. Whatever it is that has come between you two, I'm sure that I, as a good friend, can help you resolve your problem with her.” Twilight Spoke which is what confused both of them, then they asked.

“Uh, what are you talking about?” which in turned pushed Twilight to go further in this abrupt topic keeping them from working.

“Oh, Rainbow Dash, Syera, you don't have to hide your feelings from me! I can tell you two must've had a terrible fight with Applejack.” Twilight told as she then laid them both on a nearby bench as she then sat in a stool.

“Now, why don't you tell me all about your issues with Applejack.” Her hair was tied up and she had glasses on, and she patted both of them on the head with a quill and notebook in her magic grasp.

“We don't have any issues with Applejack.” Syera told as she looked her sister in the eye with a confused look.

“You don't? Then why are you two destroying her property?” Twilight asked them both with confusion.

“Because she asked me and Syera to. Right, Applejack?” Rainbow Dash told as she looked up and over to where Applejack was as she took cover with a helmet on.

“Yes, ma'am. I wanted to put up a new barn, but this one's gotta come down first. Hehe. Now get back to it, you two!”

“You got it, boss!” Syera and Rainbow Dash both told as they rushed up, however Syera amped the heat as she then turned Super Saiyan 2.

“Aww yeah!” Rainbow Dash hoofbumped Syera and then they began their descent back to the earth below.

“I'd take cover if I were you.” Applejack suggested to Twilight.

“Gah!!” Twilight shrieked as she hit the deck with Applejack.

“Rahahhhhhhhhh!!!!!” Both screamed they plummeted down and as they came in contact a big rainbow explosion occurred with a bunch of golden electricity emanating from the smoke. Mostly the barn was destroyed, but debris still spread out in small bits but soon turned to ash.

“That was totally awesome!!!” Rainbow shrieked in such excitement as the dust settled and hugged one of her best friends wholeheartedly.

“Hell yeah it was! Though from the looks of it… we got some cleaning up to do.” Syera told as she held Rainbow in her hugging grasp and was looking around.

“You two alright down there?” Syera asked Applejack and Twilight as she let go of Rainbow Dash and the two looked over the ledge and kneeled down, well Syera kneeled but Rainbow hovered over the ditch Twilight and Applejack took cover in.

“Yup, good thing I wore a helmet cause hoo wee, that was a mighty fine job y'all two did. Welp, I guess we better get to cleaning up the debris left behind and work on the foundation and call it day once we head to the picnic.” Applejack told.

“Sounds good. Shall we get started?” Syera asked.

“You bet, I’ll have this clean in ten seconds flat!” Rainbow Dash told.

“Let’s make it 7!” Syera told with a confident smirk.

“You’re on!” It was then the two rushed off with trash bags, brooms and other stuff to pick up the debris and rubbish, in a total of 7 and a half seconds the place was clean. The two bumped hoof and fist and cheered.

“Yeah!” they both shared a hearty laugh and smiled at their quick clean up call. However it seemed Twilight was a bit bummed out and she sighed and walked away slowly. Syera noticed this and rushed to her side.

“Twilight what’s wrong?” Syera asked touching a hand on her sister’s back.

“I was hoping to find a friendship problem but I couldn’t find one here… I don’t want to be tardy!” Twilight told nearly crying.

“Twilight we’ve been over this before, seriously don’t stress it ok. If there is a friendship problem or anything related to the topic, we’ll find it and fix it. I promise you that, but seriously Twi, go home and get some rest alright. Plus I don’t want this day to be stressful since we're having the picnic later. So relax, for me and for you. Ok?” Syera told as she hugged her sis and she hugged back with a smile. And so Twilight headed back to the library as Syera told her to, and hopefully the poor unicorn just chills and finds calming peace and not stress about the friendship letter.

“Is she gonna be alright Syera?” Applejack asked worriedly.

“I sure hope so… this friendship letter is really stressing her out, you should’ve heard the things she said earlier…” Syera told worried for her sister’s wellbeing.

“Oh yeah? Tell while we work on the foundation, cause I gotta hear this.” Rainbow requested as they got back to work for the next hour or so cleaning up and repairing the whole foundation of for the whole new barn going up.

“So that’s what’s going on? A Letter to the Princess?” Rainbow Dash asked.

“Yup, and she says she needs to find a problem before sundown… and that she’d be sent back to Magic Kindergarten.” Syera told as she rolled her eyes.

“That’s the most load of sour applesause I’ve ever heard in quite a while, besides Twilight has solved plenty of problems with us, and I’m sure if she can find a problem then we’ll be there to back her up!” Applejack told with a smile as they finished up their work.

“Yeah… so, we done here AJ?” Syera asked as she looked around it all looked clean and ready for a new farm house.

“Yes ma’am, great job for today. I’ll run and grab your payment for this and we’ll be seeing each other later.” Applejack told as they the three returned to her barn with her tools and supplies. Soon Applejack got 20 bits for each Syera and Rainbow Dash as payment.

“Thanks Applejack, happy to help anytime!” Syera told with a thumbs up.

“Yeah thanks Applejack, we’ll help out anytime you need us.” Rainbow Dash told with a smile.

“Thank you, both of you. Ya earned it, now let’s get cleaned up and head to that picnic, cause its about that time.” Applejack told the two. “I’ll let ya’ll use my showers, and Syera I’ll freshen up your clothes for ya.” Applejack offered.

“Sounds great, thanks Applejack.” Rainbow Dash told as she went to the bath/shower room with Syera and they each got in a stall. Syera gave Applejack her clothing.

“Hey Syera, don’t drop the soap cause it might be a bit of a doozy~” Rainbow Dash told smirking as she winked.

“Oh ha ha~ you naughty pegasus Dashie.” Syera told as they were each in the shower washing up. However they seemed to have taken a good minute and Applejack was a bit worried but let them have their privacy.

Moments later they both came out, Applejack smirked at the two.

“Seems ya’ll took your sweet ol’ time. I hope you didn’t do anything I wouldn’t have.” Applejack told as she trotted towards the two.

“Eheh, well you might wanna say more than sweat and grime came off us in there. So… we had to clean up in there a bit before exiting.” Syera told with a nervous blush.

“Yeah, sorry for the wait AJ, so shall we get over to the picnic sight?” Rainbow Dash suggested as she hovered near Syera’s left shoulder.

“Yeah, I got the supplies for ya’ll to carry over like the rug were laying out as well as some sandwiches and fresh squeezed apple juice.” Applejack told as she led the two over to the farmhouse kitchen where the baskets were packed.

“Ok sweet! I’m sure Rarity has the plates this time around but we’ll take some just in case she forgets them.” Rainbow Dash suggested.

“Good idea, also Syera, is Twilight bringing the cupcakes you promised.” Applejack asked the saiyan as she had one of the baskets in hand and Rainbow Dash had the other.

“Yes, she will be. I just hope she remembers since she seemed to be having an “off” kinda day today ever since that whole letter to the princess thing occurred.” Syera told a bit worried for her sister’s state of mind.

“Well, for what it's worth I’m sure we can help her find that friendship problem eventually.” Applejack told, then gestured to her and Rainbow Dash. “Now come on, we got a picnic to setup and have.”

“Yeah.” Syera and Rainbow Dash nodded with smiles as they followed Applejack to the sight they had planned to set up.

On the way there, they ran into Pinkie Pie. They had some small talk and laughs and soon got to the picnic sight, Rarity showed up as well. However when she looked in her picnic basket, she had a panic attack about...

“Please tell me I did not forget the plates.” the white unicorn then gasped “I did. I totally forgot them. Of all the worst things that could happen, this is THE. WORST. POSSIBLE. THING!” She then proceed to cry on her long comfortable couch which she dragged from… who knows actually. “Why, why, why... Uh…” It was then everypony looked at her with a confused look. “What? You didn't expect me to lay on the grass, did you?”

“Well no, but don’t worry Rarity since we packed plates just in case you did forget them.” Syera pointed to the picnic basket with them to her, she also dragged the basket of balloons back down to earth that Pinkie let float away almost when she pulled them out from her basket. Syera then secured the balloons on a tree, however when she did, she noticed Twilight had come with the Cupcakes, however the state of her looks seemed absurd since she looked like she been through tartarus and back the way she looked. She placed the cupcakes down in front of Rainbow Dash who was taking in some of the sun’s rays, however the thud of box of cupcakes got her attention and everypony else there.

“Twilight? You alright, hun?” Applejack asked.

“No! I am not alright.” Twilight shouted with sadness and worriedness, which shocked everyone there though Syera seemed to know what was wrong, however she let her sister continue on for now.

“It's just terrible.” Twilight told.

“Yes?” Applejack, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, and Rarity asked.

“Simply awful.” Twilight milked it even further.

“Yes?!” Applejack, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, and Rarity asked even more worried than before.

“It's the most horrific trouble I've ever been in and I really really really need your help!” Twilight shouted at them.

“YES?!” Applejack, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, and Rarity shouted back still asking for an answer to what is wrong.

“My letter to Princess Celestia is almost overdue, and I haven't learned anything about friendship!” Twilight told which is when Applejack, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, and Rarity had a sigh of relief over the problem, and this is when Syera broke the ice and spoke.

“Twilight I thought we talked about this before, stop sweating this letter thing because you’re not going anywhere!” Syera told her, however it seemed Twilight was still in a panic state.

“Oh, thank goodness she isn’t, I thought something more awful had happened or so.” Fluttershy told.

“Like Discord escaping or something out his stonebutt prison.” Rainbow Dash told which made them all laugh except Twilight who was still freaking out.

“Something awful has happened! If I don't turn in the letter on time, I'll be tardy! TARDY!” Twilight screamed as she grabbed hold of Pinkie, they all were still laughing a little at this.

“No offense to you sugarcube, but it looks like somepony's gettin' themselves all worked up over nothin'.” Applejack told however Twilight blinked in front of her and got in her face.

“This is not nothing. This is everything. I need you guys to help me find somepony with a problem I can fix before sundown! My whole life depends on it!” She looked at everypony then at Pinkie as she shouted the last part of all that.

“Oh, Twilight, you're such a crack-up!” Pinkie told laughing a bit more. It was then Applejack told her to come join them.

“Come on now. Have a seat and stop sweatin’ the small stuff.” She told, which is when Twilight groaned annoyed and angrily then proceeded to teleport away from them all.

“Wow. I've never seen Twilight so upset before.” Fluttershy told worriedly.

“Oh, what a drama queen.” Rarity added which was totally uncalled for and she had no room to speak of such things since everypony looked at her. “Mm. Relatively speaking…” she corrected herself.

“Dammit Twilight…” Syera was about to leave herself to check on the poor unicorn but Rainbow Dash put a hoof on her shoulder, which is when she looked back and everypony had given her a worried expression.

“Syera she’ll be fine ok? Don’t stress her for now, we’ll deal with her after the picnic ok, so come on, take a load off.” Rainbow Dash told giving her a smile as did the others.

“Ok fine… I just don’t like seeing her like this… Hmm… I should tell Spike to send a letter to the Princess about this. I’ll be right back” Syera then put two fingers to her forehead and used instant transmission to take herself to where Spike is.

“Spike, take a letter.” Syera told which worried Spike.

“Huh, ok then.” He didn't ask why but did so as he took a parchment and ink quill.

“Dear Princess Celestia, I’m writing to you in concern with my sister Twilight, I fear she may stressing the topic about the friendship letters to you. I think it be best if you could talk a little bit of sense into her to calm down. I fear if this continues she may do something drastic. So please come as soon as possible, your royal protector in training. Syera T. Sparkle.” Syera ended it off with that and gave a nod to Spike to send it which he did.

“Ok, I just hope she can make it. for Twilight’s sake, what are you gonna do now Syera?” Spike asked.

“I'm gonna wait for Princess Celestia, but I will be going back to that picnic, just report to me if something unusual is happening with Twilight if you see her ok?” Syera got a salute from Spike and she smiled and hugged him then got away from the embrace and Instant Transmissioned her way back to Applejack, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, and Rarity.

“Syera you’re back!” Pinkie hopped up and down smiling.

“Is Twilight ok?” Rainbow Dash asked.

“I don't know… but I told Spike to contact the Princess if something goes haywire. But I don't expect the worse, however…” the saiyan took a pause and closed her eyes after a deep breath. “This hasn’t been the first time I’ve seen Twilight this worked up.”

“Oh my, what happened?” Fluttershy asked covering her mouth with her hooves.

“I’d rather not get into it, it's a long and dreadful story.” Syera sat down near the picnic rug with her arms cross as well as her legs. It was then she felt a hoof on her shoulder and she looked and it was Applejack.

“It’ll be alright Sugarcube, just take a load off alright. I’m sure she is just fine, just needing to blow off steam right? Now settle down alright? I see you’re already taking a load off. Have a cupcake or some pie, ok?” Applejack told as she patted the saiyan on the back softly.

“Yeah, I guess that isn't a bad idea. Look I just need to meditate on Today’s events if you don't mind.” Syera told as she shook her head.

“Meditate as much as you need dear, just try not to be as anti-social on us dear. Talk and have a good time.” Rarity chuckled as well as the others, Syera chuckled a little, she felt a little better. However the back of her mind was telling her to be alert. Who knows what Twilight could be doing, she just hoped Spike’s letter he sent had got to the Princess herself.

However over the next few hours, it has been quiet. The hour of Twilight was upon Ponyville and the sun was gonna go down soon as Luna would rise the moon.

After cracking a few jokes and couple of ciders chugged down later, everypony at the picnic seemed to be taking it easy. However a distant noise caught Applejack’s ear.

“Y'all hear that?” Applejack said as she leaned against the tree and had her hat mostly cocked over her face but then she lifted it up as she got a better listen to what that noise was?

“What is that?” Syera asked as she got up and then she hovered above the hillside to get a good view. It was then she gasped.

“STAMPEDE! GET OUT THE WAY GUYS!!” Syera shouted down. And everyone was on high alert and got out of the way of the incoming stampede of… the town’s ponies?

“What in the name of all things oats 'n apples is goin' on here?!” Applejack shouted. Syera got a good look at everypony and noticed what was really going on. However, before she wondered what the trigger object was however it landed in front of Rainbow Dash.

“Don't look at it!” Twilight came outta nowhere and covered the blue pegasus’s eyes.

“Don't look at what?” Rarity asked very confused and very worried.

“My Smarty Pants doll!” Twilight shouted.

“Twilight, tell me you didn't cast what I think you casted on that damn doll of yours?!” Syera knew what spell was casted since Twilight used it as an experimental spell on her when they were teenagers.

“Yes… I enchanted her with the Want it, need it Spell! And now everypony is fighting over her!”

“But why would you enchant your doll?” Fluttershy asked worriedly as she witnessed the Town’s ponies fighting.

“Oh, I had to do something! I had nothing to report to Princess Celestia! I thought if I couldn't find a problem, I'd make a problem!” Twilight told with such an ashamed tone.

Syera huffed then grabbed Twilight by the scruff and held her up to get a good look at everything of what is going on. “This isn’t a friendship problem Twilight! IT DAMN DISASTER IS WHAT IT IS! WHAT MADE YOU THINK ENCHANTING YOUR DOLL WAS, IN CELESTIA’S NAME, A GOOD IDEA!?” Syera was truly pissed and just dropped her sister on the ground on her butt.

“I needed something, since the day is almost over!” Twilight was tearing and weeping a lot, Fluttershy and Applejack were by her side.

“Not almost!” Applejack shouted as the sun went down. And the hour of Twilight was near an end. However, everything went silent as a golden light appeared in the soon to be night sky. Syera as well as the others turned around once they heard a familiar voice shout out their unicorn friend’s name.

“Twilight Sparkle!” Princess Celestia had her horn engulfed in her magic aura. And within a flash, everything went still.

“Whoa nelly.” Applejack muttered out.

Everypony stopped their ridiculous banter over Twilight’s Smarty Pants doll. However, as everypony seemed to ignore the doll, Big Macintosh took it in his mouth and ran off happy with it like a little school filly.

“Meet me in the library.” Princess Celestia told as she trotted off in the direction of the Golden Oak.

“Goodbye, girls. If you care to visit, I'll be in magic kindergarten, back in Canterlot.” Twilight told as she trotted behind Celestia in a sad fashion.

“Magic kindergarten?” Fluttershy wondered.

“Canterlot?” Rainbow Dash was shocked.

“We're never gonna see Twilight again!” Pinkie told shocked.

“Uh, what are we gonna do, y'all?” Applejack asked worriedly

“Of all the worst things that could happen, this is THE. WORST. POSSIBLE. THING!” Rarity told, however everypony looked at her with a face that said “really?” “What? I really mean it this time!”

Everypony then looked at Syera who was very angry at not Twilight… but at herself.

“Dammit… No, I will not let my sister go through with this… NOT THIS TIME!” Syera then powered up and took at a fast rate. To where, the others new all too well.

“Come on ya’ll! Follow that Saiyan!” Applejack trotted off quickly as did the others.

“Yeah! Hold on Twilight!” Rainbow Dash shouted.

“We’re coming!” Pinkie shouted happily.

Meanwhile, at the library.

"But… I'm supposed to send you a letter about friendship every week. I missed the deadline. I'm a bad student! I'm... tardy!” Twilight told Celestia.

“You are a wonderful student, Twilight. I don't have to get a letter every week to know that.” the Princess told her smiling, however, before more could told between them.

“Stop!” Syera busted down the door and tumbled across the floor.

“Wait!” Rainbow Dash came in.

“You can't punish her!” Pinkie Pie came after.

“It wasn't her fault!” Applejack told as she entered.

“I'm listening.” Princess Celestia.

“Please guys… look Princess, I should’ve seen it coming but I obviously I tried to ignore it but I didn’t see you sooner… So if you want to Punish anypony here. Punish me, I don’t deserve to be here. But Twilight and the others dont need this heat…” Syera kneeled before the Princess herself.

“Nonsense Syera, were all at fault. Please, your Highness. We all saw that Twilight was upset.” Fluttershy told.

“But we thought that the thing she was worrying about wasn't worth worrying about.” Rainbow Dash told, which is when Applejack told her side as well

“So when she ran off all worked up, not a single one of us tried to stop her. Except maybe Syera… but she had no luck.”

“As Twilight's good friends, we should have taken her feelings seriously and been there for her! And given Syera even more support into her to help her dear sister.” Rarity told.

“Please don't take her away from us just because we were too insensitive to help her. And please don’t take out the punishment on just Syera, punish us too…” Fluttershy told as the others grouped around Syera and in front of Twilight.

“Girls… no… don't I.” It was then Princess Celestia raised a hoof in front of Syera and the others then smiled.

“Looks like you all learned a pretty valuable lesson today.” She had told.

“Mm-hmm!” Syera, Applejack, Fluttershy, Rarity, Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie hummed all together.

“Very well. I'll forget Twilight's "punishment" on one condition, and this goes for all of you.” The Princess told. They wondered what it would be.

“Whatever it is, we’re ready for it Princess.” Syera told with a confident smile.

“From this day forth, I would like you all to report to me your findings on the magic of friendship when, and only when, you happen to discover them.” All of them cheered in relief over this task.

“We will do this Princess, we won't let you down.” Syera told as she bowed to the Princess.

“No need to bow my dear royal Protector. I know you won't.” Princess Celestia then made her way to the balcony.

“Princess Celestia, wait! How did you know I was in trouble?” Twilight asked her before she made her leave.

“Spike made me aware that you were letting your fears get the best of you from a letter Syera told him to write and send to me.” Syera nodded with a smile and Spike was a bit nervous at this and he looked away for the moment. “I commend him and her for taking your feelings seriously. Now, if you will all excuse me, I must return to Canterlot. I'm expecting some mail.” With that, Princess Celestia leaped into the night sky and disappeared back to Canterlot.

“Y'all heard the Princess. Spike, take a letter.” Spike told as he took out a ink quill and parchment. Twilight gave him and Syera a big hug. And so went on with the letter.

“Dear Princess Celestia, We're writin' to you because today we all learned a little somethin' about friendship.” Applejack told after clearing her throat.

"We learned that you should take your friends' worries seriously.” Fluttershy told.

“Even if you don't think that she has anything to worry about.” Rainbow told as she swooped around the room.

“And that you shouldn't let your worries turn a small problem…” Rarity’s statement was then finished by Pinkie Pie.

“Into-an-enormously-huge-entire-town-in-total-
chaos-Princess-has-to-come-and-save-the-day problem!” Pinkie then flipped out in her seat.

“And that we all know that even when one problem seems so small, always be there for your friends in need no matter what.” Syera told crossing her arms smiling.

“Signed, your loyal subjects.” Applejack finished off, however Spike had a funny idea.

“P.S. Obviously Spike did not have to learn a lesson, because he is the best, most awesome friend a pony could ask for. Unlike everypony else, he took things seriously, and- Eheh... uh... yeah... I'll just, um… Cross that one out.” Spike told as he took that parchment and balled it up and put in the trash, which in turn everypony there laughed. He huffed since he was right in his mind but it wasn't really called for.”

“Heh, come on everypony, let’s get some dinner and drinks. On me!” Syera told smiling.

“We’re right behind ya on that one!” Rainbow Dash told smiling.

“Oh yes dear, also we should all get together afterwards to discuss our Nightmare Night costumes.” Rarity told smiling.

“Ah! Nightmare Night… Ooo….” Fluttershy shivered softly.

“Hehe, one of these years you need to come out on Nightmare Night with us Fluttershy.” Pinkie Pie told.

“Wait, She never has what!?” Syera asked as the door at the Library shut by Spike as he rewrote the letter to everything what was said by everypony on the way to dinner then sent it to the Princess.

Chapter 25: Night of Nightmares full of sweets to bite, Will Luna fill everypony full of cheers or frights?

View Online

Last Time on Syera: The Equestrian Saiyan

After the defeat of Discord, everything in Ponyville was at a timely peace and quiet. However, after Twilight realized she didn’t have a friendship problem to report to the Princess. She decided to make a friendship problem, which turned into a disastrous monstrocity to where Celestia herself had to come in and reverse the spell Twilight casted on everypony in town.

Though this brought light to a new solution, Twilight and Syera along with everypony have to write friendship lessons to the Princess now, but when and only when they discover them.

Now, Syera and the others prepare for one of the biggest nights of the year. Nightmare Night! Where everything is a big fright and every foal and filly venture to door to door and grab something sweet to bite.

So what will happen on Syera, Twilight and Spike’s first Nightmare Night in Ponyville?

Find out, Now!

cue intro music - “Night of Nightmares full of sweets to bite, Will Luna fill everypony full of cheers or frights?”

It was deep into the evening and the sun just set not even an hour ago, and the festival of Nightmare Night was in full effect. Now in the library where Twilight, Syera and Spike reside.

Spike was dressed as, kinda go figure. A dragon. Syera on the other hand was dressed up as a Knight told in the book of folklore, a red knight shrouded in red flames. The armor was all real and replicated perfected as the book foretold. And was custom fitted to fit Syera’s sleek and strong body like a glove. Only problem was the helmet being on her for so long since her hair would get in the way.

“Jeez Syera, think you might’ve gone a bit overboard with your costume?” Spike teased.

“Nonsense, besides this is a good training exercise since this armor does weight a good amount. I just wish it was more mobile…” Syera stretches a little as the armor clinks and chatters against her body each time she makes a move.

“Whatever floats your boat, good thing you’re ready unlike somepony! Ugh, come on, Twilight. We're gonna be late for the Nightmare Night festival!” Spike screamed out, however Spike and Syera were both surprised by the outfit Twilight chose for the occasion. “Huh? Are you that one kooky grandpa from Ponyville Retirement Village?” Spike asked.

“Seriously Spike? Was I not the only one who payed attention to Twilight’s costume when we got it tailored by Rarity herself?” Syera crossed her arms.

“I'm Star Swirl the Bearded, Father of the amniomorphic spell. Did you even read that book I gave you about obscure unicorn history?” Twilight remarked.

“Uh..” Spike had no answer, so when he heard a knocking at the door. “That sounds important.” he darted.

“Nope he did not, and I bet he doesn't know where my costume is from.” Syera chuckled as she looked at Twilight. “You look good by the way.” the saiyan complimented.

“As do you, and wow, I'm surprised that Blacksmith got the armor set right for your dimensions and figure.” Twilight awed at the armor.

“Yeah, thank Rarity, she was able to give him my measurements, and it was a hefty task. And it wasn’t cheap but hell, can’t beat an authentic choice in iron and steel. And a hint of Ebony to have the black finish and the ruby red robes that glow ever so lightly thanks to Rarity’s choice in gems.” Syera stretched a little more. Once Spike opened the door, he yelped at the sight of the young fillies and their costumes.

“Nightmare Night! What a fright! Give us something sweet to bite!” They shouted, Granny Smith was their chaperone for the night it would seem.

“Hi, everypony. Great costumes. Happy Nightmare Night, Granny Smith.” Twilight told as well as greeting the old mare.

“I should have been asleep five hours ago.” Granny told with a sort of bummed out tone of voice.

“heh, hopefully you get some sleep soon old gal” Syera told as she kneeled down to the kids and given them a good handful of candy.

“Pipsqueak the pirate, at your service. It's my very first Nightmare Night!” Pipsqueak was a new foal student from Trottingham, he really wanted to enjoy this night to the fullest since it was his first ever.

“Since you moved here from Trottingham?” Twilight asked.

“No, my very first Nightmare Night ever!” Pipsqueak told.

“Well I know for a fact you’re gonna love it bud, here ya go.” Syera gave him an exceptional amount of candy to him.

“Enough chitchat! Time is candy!” Pinkie Pie came out of nowhere as she usually does dressed as a chicken and she picked the bowl Syera had in her hands clean.

“Well there goes that bowl.” Syera chuckled to herself.

“Pinkie Pie, aren't you a little old for this?” Twilight asked.

“Too old for free candy?!” She squawked as if she was a real chicken then said in a serious tone. “Never.”

“Do you like it?” Twilight asked Pinkie in regards to her costume.

“Yeah! Great costume, Twilight! You make a fantastic weirdo clown! And Ooo Syera, you make an amazing soul hunter!” Pinkie then ran off with her candy in hoof.

“A clown? Look at the borders on these robes. These are hoof-stitched!” Twilight shouted in an annoyed tone since she didn't get the costume Twilight was wearing.

“Soul Hunter? What does she mean by that?” Syera thought to herself.

“It's a great costume! Huh! Grandpa and Soul Hunter!” Spike chuckled as he walked ahead towards the festival.

“Ugh… Come on Syera, let’s go.” Twilight said in a orderly tone of voice.

“Ok ok, just let me grab my sword and shield.” Syera then walked to the corner of the library, grabbed her custom made broadsword as the pony's would call it, however it looked small in the hands of Syera and a long shield that was tucked upon her arm. She then placed the shield on her back and her sword in the sheth hilt on her side as she was turning off the lights in the library and locking the door.

And so the three made their way to the festival. It was as you would kinda expect of Nightmare Night, the festival was full of games such as bobbing for apples, chucking pumpkins out of catapults and hitting some nearby placed targets. Even the ball toss game when you throw a ball at a target and a pony gets a splash dunk in a pit of water.

Big Macintosh was pulling a cart full of ponies, believe he was giving them a hayride of course. There was even a small town band playing and there was a little shindig of a dance floor happening as Syera, Twilight and Spike walked passed.

Last but not least was the vendors that had cotton candy galore as well as so many other sweets and treats. Spike of course got a stockpile of all he could carry of candy, sweets, you name it, and he’s got it. Of course Syera and Spike were munching on the cache of goodies. Though Syera for some reason seemed to be getting a lot of looks from everypony. She wondered if it was the costume itself or the rubies shimmering on it due to the fact she looks like she is on fire.

“Ugh… I can barely see anything in this helmet.” Syera told as she then took it off and held it to her side. She had a bit of sweat dripping down her face from how warm it was wearing all that armor, even though it was fairly cool outside due to the fall months setting in.

However Twilight was babbling on about her costume not being easily recognized that she didn't realize they were at the festival. “Maybe I should start up a pony group to teach ponies about history. I bet everypony would love it! Don't you two?” Twilight asked.

“That does sound nice and all, but give them a reason to learn about it I suppose instead of forcing it upon them Sis.” Syera put her helmet back on.

“Mm-hmm, I love it all.” Spike was barely paying attention as he stuff his face full of candy. Then he let loose a belch.

“Oh I guess we're here, and getting food I suppose is out of the question.” Twilight then snapped to reality and saw her surroundings. It was then Pinkie came up to them with a huge back full of candy along with the other young fillies.

“Twilight, Syera! Look at our haul! Ah! Can you believe it?” Pinkie told in between eating from her haul of candy with the colts and fillies with her. “And then, we went to Cheerilee's house, and got a bunch more goodies. Didn't we, Pip?” She then looked at the young colt from Trottingham

“Sure did!” He cheered with a smile. However, as Pinkie was talking Twilight and Syera’s ear off. Syera then noticed something at the corner of her eye, or at least for what she could see out that helmet. She noticed Rainbow Dash with a small storm cloud and dressed as one of those Shadowbolts they ran into in the Everfree forest all those months ago back. What was she up too?

“And then, we had to stop and wait for Granny Smith, and… Syera you ok? What are you pointing at?” Pinkie asked, however it was too late for her to react and Rainbow Dash already shot a lightning bolt down causing a lot of Thunder to crash and lightning to strike Pinkie in the butt.

She then squawked like a chicken and hightailed it fast, the kids there also screamed and ran off.

“Seriously Rainbow Dash? That was not very nice!” Twilight shouted at the mischievous Rainbow maned pony.

“Lighten up, old-timer. This is the best night of the year for pranks!” Rainbow Dash was still laughing

“Look what you did to Spike for crying out loud!” Syera pointed to the poor dragon who was choking on some candy which the saiyan patted him on the back for him to spit it out.

“It's all in good fun. Oh! Oh! There's another group over there! Great costumes by way guys, especially you Syera, hope to see you with that helmet on more often.” Rainbow Dash winked at her, which made Syera blush a little underneath that helm of her’s and kinda look away. And so with that said and done, there was a Prankster on the loose and Rainbow Dash wasn't stopping anytime soon. Best to avoid her as best as they could.

As the trio continued their walk throughout the town, they came across Applejack, who was dressed a Scarecrow.

“Happy Nightmare Night, Applejack!” Syera, Spike and Twilight told her as they greeted the Apple mare.

“Howdy, Spike, Twilight, Syera! Nice costumes.

“Thanks! I'm a dragon.” Spike told smiling.

“Like we could not already tell that Spike” Syera chuckled to herself.

“Also I’m sure she means me and Syera, Spike.” Twilight added on.

“With that beard, I reckon you're some sorta country music singer. And you Syera, wow, by the way can you even see out that helmet? Looks like claustrophobic in there.” Applejack pointed out.

“You don’t know the half about it.” Syera chuckled as she took her helmet off for the moment and her hair came poofing out and stayed as spiky as it always did. It just slight was pressed down and covered by it.

“While y'all are here, ya' feel like bobbin' for an apple?” Applejack suggested.

“You bet!” Syera told, however Derpy accidentally pulled out the plug of the barrel instead of an apple and drained the bobbing barrel. “Uh… on second thought I’ll pass for now.” Syera chuckled a little. However before they did anything else, Mayor Mare, who was dressed a clown, got everypony's attention in front of the town square.

“Thank you, everypony, and welcome to the Nightmare Night festival!” She told as everypony there cheered and applauded for the moment before silencing so she could continue to speak.

“Now, all the little ponies who have been out collecting sweets should follow our friend Zecora to hear the legend of... Nightmare Moon!” The mayor proceeded to laugh maniacally, however her outfit just wasn't cutting it with that laugh.

“Spooky voice might work better if she wasn't dressed like that.” Spike told between Syera and Spike.

“You can say that again.” Syera spoke and chuckled with Spike and Twilight softly. What came next was really cool, a green smoke followed by Zecora, who was dressed as a total witch doctor came out of the green misty smoke.

“Follow me, and very soon, you'll hear the tale of Nightmare Moon.” She told in her usual nursery rhyme and rhythm. And soon the group of colts and fillies, even Pinkie had joined in as well as a couple others including Twilight, Spike and Syera on this little tour into a section of the Everfree Forest.

“Listen close, my little dears, I'll tell you where you got your fears of Nightmare Night, so dark and scary.” She then blew on some green glitter and more of that green mist came around, projecting some sort of conjuring magic to show an image of Nightmare Moon. “Of Nightmare Moon, who makes you wary.” It was getting to a lot of them since they gasp. Syera stayed still and calm in her Knight armor, Helmet and all as she observed this occurrence.

“Every year, we put on a disguise, to save ourselves from her searching eyes.” She then used some magic to make her eyes seem menacing and appeared behind two fillies who screamed once they saw this.

“But Nightmare Moon wants just one thing: to gobble up ponies in one quick swing!” When Zecora told this, Pinkie and Pipsqueak screamed very wholeheartedly.

“Hungrily, she soars the sky. If she sees nopony, she passes by. So if she comes and all is clear, Equestria is safe another year!” Zecora is near the end of her tale when Pipsqueak asks her something.

“Uh, Miss Zecora, if we wear costumes to hide from Nightmare Moon, so she won't gobble us up, how come we still need to give her some of our candy?” He asked, which is when Zecora had an answer.

“A perfect question, my little friend. For Nightmare Moon you must not offend.” She blew more green sparkling glitter down and more conjuring magic came around. “Fill up her belly with a treat or two, so she won't return to come eat you!” She told as the illusion of Nightmare Moon came and chomped at Pinkie Pie and the others little colts and fillies around. Which is when she panicked and suggested to them all

“Quick everypony! Just dump some candy and get out of here!” However as they did, the wind started to pick up, and thunder sounded, and it started raining from the night sky. However a royal carriage like no other Syera or Twilight has seen before arrived over Ponyville.

“It's Nightmare Moon! Run!” Pinkie screamed and all of the fillies screamed and ran along with Pinkie. However, as lighting struck near the carriage, a silhouette of a familiar pony showed.

“No… that’s not Nightmare Moon.” Syera said muffled as she looked through her helmet.

“Who could it be?” Twilight asked confused as the carriage flew overhead them. It was then what clicked in Syera’s mind and who told her they were coming to Ponyville on Nightmare Night.

“She is here, come on let’s get to Ponyville to greet our honorary guest!” Syera then ran off in the direction of town, clinking and clanking in her armor all the way back as Twilight, Spike and Zecora followed behind the armored saiyan. Everypony was screaming, due to the sudden change in the weather, and an unidentified pony who seemed to be royalty has crashed the Nightmare Night festival in Ponyville.

“Its Princess Luna!” Twilight said shocked with excitement as she landed down in the center of the festival. Very interesting part is her cloak she was wearing had come off her as a bunch of little bats. Syera was very amazed by this magic, and it seems she had recovered a lot from the last time they’ve seen her when she was defeated as Nightmare Moon.

“Hm…” Syera crossed her arms as they observed the Princess then approached one of the pony's who seemed to be cowering before her. Odd they seemed to be scared of her.

It was then Princess Luna spoke in the royal canterlot voice, not a voice many have heard in ages since Princess Celestia rarely uses it. “Citizens of Ponyville! We have graced your tiny village with our presence, so that you might behold the real Princess of the Night!”

Syera whistled at the sight of this. “Whoa, those are some strong lungs, almost as loud as me when I power up I suppose.” It was then Twilight hushed her for the moment since Luna wasn't done speaking.

“A creature of nightmares no longer, but instead a pony who desires your love and admiration! Together we shall change this dreadful celebration into a bright and glorious feast!” She finished off, however the word feast seemed to catch other ponies off guard, especially the one dressed as a Chicken.

“Did you hear that, everypony? Nightmare Moon says she's gonna feast on us all!” Pinkie screamed and caused an even more of a panic as she ran off with the fillies and colts.

“What? No, children, no! You no longer have reason to fear us! Screams of delight is what your princess desires, not screams of terror!” She was a bit confused and stomped her hoof but then she brushed it off and approached Mayor Mare.

“Madame Mayor, thy Princess of the Night hath arrived.” She stuck her hoof out to give a formal greeting. However, it seemed that nopony wanted to give her such a greeting.

“What is the matter with you all?” She asked very confused, but soon gave up. “Very well, then. Be that way. We won't even bother with the traditional royal farewell.” She then walked off, however it seemed this wasn’t right in the eyes of Twilight and Syera.

“I'm gonna go talk to her.” Twilight told as she began to trot off.

“I'm right behind you on that one. Spike, see if you can calm the town Ponies. We’ll go speak with the Princess ok?” Syera told as the clattering knight in dark red armor and the old wizard pony went off on the quest to bring their Princess of the night back to enjoy the festival properly.

“I honestly don't know why they were all so scared of her? She’s not the Mare in the Moon anymore, right?” Twilight asked Syera as they tried to search where their Princess had gone.

“Well, ever since we did hit her with the elements, I believe she returned to her original form. And her evil intentions have vanished for good I would want to assume. But hell if I know any of that creepy magic is residing somewhere.” Syera told as they soon spotted Luna making her way over a nearby park bridge with her head hanging low and she seemed very discouraged.

“Hmm… she looks so sad…” Syera told putting her hands on her hips. Twilight was the first to approach her and speak up.

“Princess Luna? Hi, my name is-” before she could get her name out, it seemed Luna noticed Twilight’s costume first.

“Star Swirl the Bearded. Commendable costume! Thou even got the bells right.” She told firmly about her costume that it was amazingly well replicated.

“Thank you! Finally! Somepony who gets my costume!” Twilight was excited about this sudden praise, however she was getting off topic. “Uh, I just came to welcome you to our celebration! My actual name is-”

“Twilight Sparkle.” Princess Luna finished off, and then spoke in her booming Canterlot royal voice again. “It was thou along with the Super Saiyan whom unleashed the powers of harmony upon us and took away our dark powers!”

“And that was a good thing, right?” Syera asked as she approached and took her helmet off with a concerned look on her face.

Princess Luna took notice of her right away. “But of course dear Super Saiyan. We could not be happier. Is that not clear to you two?” Princess Luna asked the both of them as she got closer to them.

“Well, you kinda sound like you're yelling at us.” Twilight told which us when Luna explained to the usage of her bellowing voice.

“But this is the traditional royal Canterlot voice! It is tradition to speak using the royal "we", and to use this much volume when addressing our subjects!” She explained while using the last of her words in that loud voice, which rattled both Twilight and Syera, the saiyan’s armor really rattled and the poor unicorn’s wizard cap nearly fell off so she had to adjust it back on her crown

“Yeah… I think I can see the problem here Princess.” Syera told as she stretched and adjusted her armor.

“Yes, which I think would explain why your appearance was met with... mixed results to say the least.” Twilight explained, which made Luna have an expression of confusion and it grabbed her attention to both of them.

“Well, how should we proceed to fix this problem so we are not met with such mixed results?” Princess Luna asked.

“Maybe if you just changed your approach a bit, you might be met with a warmer reception.” Twilight suggested, which is when Luna used that voice again.

“Change our approach?” She shouted.

“Your volume, lower the tone Princess Luna.” Syera told crossing her arms after she put her helmet back on, but this time she exposed her face so she could see better.

“Oh… I see, however, We have been locked away on that rock in the sky for a thousand years. We are... not sure we can do so without assistance.” Princess Luna explained as she spoke normally.

“Hmm, I think we know a pony who can help. Though bare with her, she is very shy and panic crazy on this day.” Syera crossed her arms and gestured Twilight and Luna to follow her to the pony Luna needs help from. Fluttershy.

After arriving at the yellow pony’s cottage, Syera gave a firm knock at her door. “Go away! There’s no candy here! And visitors are not welcome on Nightmare Night!” The timid pony shouted from inside.

“Ugh… Fluttershy its us, your friends!” Syera called out as she face palmed.

“Oh It is you Syera, and Twilight. Ah, and Nightmare Moon.” She said calm and collected, except after she realized who she saw last. “Nightmare Moon?! Ahhh!!” She yelped and slammed her door afraid of Princess Luna.

“Ugh… excuse us for a moment Princess.” Syera told as she and Twilight went inside.

“Yes, this’ll only take a second.” Twilight opened the door with her magic and Syera shut it behind them so they could drag Fluttershy’s scaredy cat self out to help Luna with her volume control. After a bunch of crashing about and a few nasty words that would blister young foal and fillies ears, they got Fluttershy to come outside.

“Fluttershy! You remember Princess Luna right?” Twilight told with a smile.

“The one we saved once we used to elements to free her of the evil magic of Nightmare Moon?” Syera asked crossed her arms.

“Charmed.” Luna spoke with her loud bellowing voice.

“Likewise.” Fluttershy timidly spoke with nervousness as she was on the ground below Princess Luna since she was so nervous to stand before her at the moment.

“Twilight Sparkle and dearest Syera hath spoken of the sweetness of thy voice. We ask thou teachest to us to speak as thou speakest.” Luna asked, still very loudly.

“Okay.” The yellow pegasus spoke softly still.

“Shall our lessons begin?” Luna asked still bellowing very loudly.

“Okay….” Fluttershy was getting even more nervous than before.

“Shall we mimic thy shy voice?” Princess Luna asked once more.

“Okay……” Fluttershy was getting very frightened she might jump outta her coat.

“How is this for starters?” Princess Luna asked, still bellowing loud as could be from before.

“Perfect, lesson over!” Fluttershy hurriedly spoke and ran for her door, however Syera blinked in front of her and stopped her in her path as Fluttershy hit her crown on the saiyan’s breastplate.

“A little quieter, if you will princess.”

“How is…” Luna paused for a moment then said “this?” in a still loud tone but not much in bass and echo as the royal voice has.

“That’s better, but still needs work, right Fluttershy?” Syera asked as she held the yellow pegasus in her arms for the moment.

“Yes. hehe…” Fluttershy nervously laughed as she said that in a dazed fashion.

“How... about... now?” Princess Luna was toning it down a little more. But still needed fine tuning.

“Now you're getting it Princess.” Twilight spoke with a smile as she and Syera shook their heads yes in agreement.

“And... how about now?” Princess Luna asked, at a normal speaking level, which was perfect. She nearly sounded close to Rarity if she didn't had that fancy tone of voice as the unicorn herself.

“Yes! That’s it!” Syera spoke with excitement.

“Well done Princess Luna.” Twilight told. However what was unexpected was that Luna pulled Fluttershy out of the saiyan’s grasp and hugged her tightly.

“Oh I thank thee, dear Fluttershy! Our normal speaking voice shall surely win us the hearts of thy fellow villagers.” Luna spoke in her bellowing voice in gratitude for teaching her the ways of speaking at a lower decibel level. However Pinkie Pie and the others seemed to arrive at the wrong time it would seem at that moment the Princess was hugging the hell outta poor Fluttershy.

“Fluttershy! You've gotta hide us! Nightmare Moon is here and... Ah! She stole Fluttershy's voice so she can't scream when she gobbles her up!” It was then she and young ones ran off with their tails between their legs screaming their heads off.

“Nay, children, wait!” Princess Luna then shouted in her Canterlot voice after reaching out to them to stop, but she then remember to lower the volume. “I mean... nay, children, no, wait…” She sounded more sad than before when she spoke softly.

“It ok Princess, come on.” Twilight motioned to her to follow, Syera helped Fluttershy back in her cottage and put her to bed since the poor pegasus seemed out of it tonight and might not remember a thing.

“To what dear Twilight?” Princess Luna asked a bit sadden, it was then Syera appeared next to them as she Instant Transmissioned to them.

“Plan B.” Syera told closing her helmet so her face was not exposed anymore and led Twilight and Princess Luna back to town, the saiyan’s heavy metal footsteps against the ground are which really was heard on the way back.

Once they did get back, it seemed Spike did a good job and getting them to loosen up a bit since it was full fledged party now. However once Luna was visible to almost everypony’s eye there, they paused and looked at her. They shrieked and shrunk in fear of the Princess of the Night.

“It is of no use... They have never liked us and they never shall… Im sorry Syera and Twilight, but Im afraid whatever plan you have going is hopeless…” Princess Luna told sadden and depressed.

“Don't be so sure Princess, our good friend Applejack is most open pony to be close with in these parts.” Syera explained as Twilight added on.

“Yeah! She most definitely is, and I'm certain she'll have some ideas on fixing your image here Luna.” Twilight told as they approached the country mare in question who was dressed a friendly Scarecrow pony. Pipsqueak was there too, but he almost fell in the bobbing pit of apples.

“Whoop. Careful there, partner.” Applejack scooped him up and he ran along to do something else. When AJ turned around and noticed Luna, she quivered and shook in place on her belly.

“Uh... Applejack, the princess is looking for a little advice on how to… “fit in”... around here.” Twilight told with a soft smile.

“"Fit in"? Really?” Applejack asked with a sarcastic remark.

“Applejack…” Syera called her name with an annoyed tone and gave her a look that said ˝this is serious.˝ Which made AJ change her tone right away.

“I mean... that's easy! All you gotta do is have the right attitude. Loosen up a bit, be positive, play a few games, have some fun.” Applejack told as she got up and got close with the Princess and pulled her aside to chat and explain.

“Fun? What is this "fun" thou speakest of?” Luna asked, this took longer than expected to explain to her since it seemed the concept of fun took a lot more than a song of which letter in Fun stood for. Anyway, first off Princess Luna was brought to the Spider toss game. a very basic one at that.

“Pray tell, what purpose do these serve?” Luna asked as she held one of the toy spiders in her hoof.

“Try to land the sp-sp-spiders on the web.” The pony running the game, Cherry Berry had explained to her on what to do.

“You can do it, princess!” Applejack cheered as Syera whistled and clapped for her. And so the Princess tossed a really good one and the Spider landed on the web.

“Ha! Your princess enjoys this "fun"! In what other ways may we experience it?” She asked. This is when Syera motioned for her to follow to one of the Catapults nearby.

“Here Princess, load this bad boy up” Syera gave her a pumpkin to chuck over to a target placed nearby.

“Fire when ready, princess!” Twilight cheered with a smile. And it was then Luna had a serious look on her face as she fired the catapult, launching that pumpkin in the air, it hit the target with a graceous splat!

“Ha ha! The fun has been doubled!” Princess Luna shouted, everypony in the vicinity shouted and cheered in joy.

“Alright, Why don't you try bobbin' for apples? We got the best apples in Equestria here, princess.” Applejack suggested to her next beside chucking Pumpkins.

“I ask that thou call us... me... Luna, fair Applejack.” She explained and then she shouted out in a normal voice this time to everypony around. “Hear me, villagers! All of you! Call me Luna!”

There was a lot of chatter between everypony, mostly all of it was approval of the name choice, once everypony seemed to approve of this name. Luna really wanted to try out the game Applejack mentioned to her.

“Show me to these bobbing apples, dear Applejack.”

“Whoa!” Pipsqueak was unsupervised and he fell ij the pit of Apples.

“Pip!” Syera and Luna rushed to his side and helped pull him out. However it seemed at that moment again, Pinkie had come at the wrong time as well as the children following her.

“Hey, gals. Anypony seen Pip? We lost him the last time we had to run– Aaah! Nightmare Moon is gobbling Pipsqueak! Everypony run!” Pinkie then ran with the remaining young foals and fillies who screamed and ran away from her.

“Pinkie Pie! Stop this!” Syera shouted however the pink pony didn't listen and just scrambled along with the kids, and the delirious Pipsqueak had jumped out of Luna’s clutches before he could be settled by Syera.

“Help! My backside has been gobbled!” Pip screamed as he ran away, however this statement made Luna very angry.

“Tis a lie! Thy backside is whole and ungobbled, thou ungrateful whelp!” She told as her hoof came down to the ground in a hard stomp. The ground cracked and thunder struck from her anger. “Fair villagers, please do not back away. Let us join together in... fun!” It was then Luna picked up one of the toy Spiders and tossed it near the web. However it didn’t seem to calm them down so she went to extreme measures.

“Not enough fun for you? What say you to this?!” It was then she had zapped the bowl full of spiders and they came to life! Most of them went towards the web. However some did not and went and crawled on the ponies.

“Huzzah! How many points do I receive?” Princess Luna asked in a cheerful tone. However everypony went in total panic due to the fact of the Spiders running a muck.

“Do not run away, As your princess, we command you!” However her regular tone isn't cutting it even when she yelled minorly. Everypony was still screaming. Even Twilight and Syera were trying to no avail.

“Be... still!!!!” Princess Luna shouted in her royal canterlot voice, which echoed for a good thirty seconds, maybe more from how loud it was. And the ground and every around shook and a small storm of lightning and thunder roared overhead.

“Princess, remember! Watch the screaming!” Twilight told with concern.

“You have to keep your voice in check Luna, it’ll scare them even more!” Syera told also with concern as she kneeled down near Twilight, which is when the Princess had gotten into both of their faces and spoke in that roaring Canterlot voice.

“No! We must use the traditional royal Canterlot voice for what we are about to say my dears.” She spoke with a smile at the end, however it seemed that this news was not going to be good. “Since you choose to fear your princess rather than love her, and dishonor her with this insulting celebration, we decree that Nightmare Night shall be canceled! Forever!” With that declared. Luna had vanished and left town for the moment. This news left the town shambles and tears from the children and adults.

“Ah shoot. We had everything goin' our way. Luna was happy, everypony in town was happy, now look at 'em.” Applejack told as the colts and fillies were crying since they wanted to be some else next time this celebration came around.

“No… This is not over yet.” Syera told as she took her helmet off and tossed it to ground since she was finally tired of it and fixed her hair.

“What are we gonna do?” Applejack asked.

“I don't know yet, but for now, I'm gonna do what Twilight usually does to me each time I feel gloomy.” Syera told balling her hands into fists.

“Oh? What might that be dear sister of mine?” Twilight asked with a sly smirk.

“Lecture her, and to be more specific, lecture on why it is a good idea to keep Nightmare Night going for years to come.” Syera explained which is when Applejack let out a laugh and Twilight sighed in a bit of shame since she knew that’s what she usually does.

“Well I better come with you if that’s the case Syera.” Twilight told as Syera began to walk to where the Princess was heading. The two eventually caught up to her as she trotted sadly across a bridge heading out of town.

“Princess Luna.” Twilight called to her.

“Your Highness” Syera chimed in with her.

“Leave me be, Syera and Twilight Sparkle.” She told them with a sadden tone of voice. It really did hit the nail on the coffin when it comes to her sadness and how she had to forbid Nightmare Night.

“Princess, We’re very sorry that it hasn't worked out how you wanted.” Twilight told as Syera spoke next.

“But you have to believe us, when we tell you that Nightmare Night is one of the most popular celebrations we have. And it's not just about the frights or the imitations of the them that bring us together, but it also to show we live through another year free of harm as we dress as those who haunt in all of us in our nightmares. And you, not by remembering you as Nightmare Moon but a guardian that shields us in our dreams, Princess Luna. Give us a chance to fix this.” Syera told, and it was then Luna gave the saiyan a serious look then a smile and gave her a firm embrace, the Princess’s embrace was nearly squeezing her down, even though Luna was half her size, she was still very strong.

“Thank you Syera, I needed to hear that from you. However it does not change the fact of how the children see me as of now… By all the adoring shrieks of them as they run away… But I shall listen to what you have to suggest.” It was would seem Princess Luna was giving the two of them a chance to fix Nightmare Night, however to do so, Syera and Twilight needed to find the culprit behind all the screaming ruckus behind the kids screaming and running away.

“Pinkie Pie… Twilight, do you still have that bag of candy I told you to hold onto?” Syera asked the lavender unicorn who nodded yes in response.

“Yes I do, what are you planning?” Twilight asked as she handed over the bag of candy to Syera in her magic grasp and let go as the Saiyan grabbed hold of it.

“You’ll see, what else attracts that boundary breaking party animal besides a few sweets?” Syera asked as she put her hand on her side and bobbed the bag up and down in her hand.

“More sweets?” Luna asked to the question.

“Damn straight Princess, you an A+ for that one. Now let’s get to work.” Syera told with a smile as they put out their plan in focus. It was very simple, make a candy trail only Pinkie would notice since they put out her favorites that lead to a side alley in town. Eventually near the last pieces of candy, Syera then tackled her against the wall and powered up to Super Saiyan.

“No more!” Syera shouted.

“No more what?!” Pinkie shrieked and screamed a bit more.

“No shrieking, screaming or squealing like the little chicken you are, get that in your head, okay?!” Syera told as she pressed more strength into Pinkie to where she squeaked a little.

“O-Okay…!” Pinkie told in a muffled voice since when Syera explained it to her, she got too loud and covered her mouth. And so when Pinkie seemed to get the point across, Syera powered down and let the pink pony drop to the floor with a bit of a loud thump. And so Twilight came into the picture.

“Easy Syera, I think you got your point across. Now Pinkie, there's something I want you to see. And I promise that it's safe, but you really, really, really can't shriek. Do you promise not to shriek?” Twilight asked the pink pony in question.

“Mm-hmm.” Pinkie told with a firm nod, but when she saw Princess Luna step out the shadows, she was shocked and squawked a little but covered her mouth.

“Now… Pinkie Pie, you remember Princess Luna, yes?” Syera gestured a hand to her as she came close.

“Ah. The ringleader of the frightened children. Hast thou come to make peace?” Princess Luna seemed hostile at first but when the mention of peace came to mind, Pinkie warmed up and smiled as she took Luna’s hoof with her own, and so, things were turning out good. Until it did not… All of a sudden, a nearby thundercrash sounded with lightning cracked and shocked both of them. However when it happened, Luna flinched a little and the brief moment made it seem her eyes glowed for a moment. And this really sealed the deal and Pinkie was on the run again.

“Nightmare Moon!” she squawked out as she ran fast like the chicken she portrayed. It was then Syera looked up and got mad at the culprit of this unexpected turn of event.

“Rainbow! Stop it now!” Twilight shouted to her which made her fall out laughing on her storm cloud. It was then Syera instant transmissioned her way in front of Pinkie’s pathway and tackled her down.

“Don't you get it?! She has changed, Pinkie! She is not evil nor scary anymore, and she definitely doesn't want to gobble you up in a big stew or feast!” Syera wasn’t playing around this time and held her down.

“Well, duh.” Pinkie told with a not so shocked tone.

“Huh?” Twilight and Syera both said as they handled things out with her and Princess Luna.

“I know that. Sheesh, you two. I'm almost as big as her, how's she gonna gobble me up? Also I doubt she would since Syera would make her force herself to hack me back up.” Pinkie Pie explained.

“If what you are saying is true, then why do you keep running away and screaming like… well… a chicken?” Twilight was trying her best to avoid that pun since she was dressed as a real chicken.

“Sometimes it's just really fun to be scared!” Pinkie explained as she was still being held down by the Saiyan.

“Fun?” Syera asked confused.

“To be scared?!” Twilight gasped and so did Syera as they thought the same darn thing at that very moment.

“Pinkie Pie, you're a genius!” Syera and Twilight both shouted to her as Syera got off her and helped her up.

“No, I'm not. I'm a chicken.” Pinkie told then proceeded to squawk like a chicken.

“Princess Luna! we’ve finally figured out why you're having so much trouble being liked!” Twilight explained however Luna did not seem to greatful or even too enthusiastic about it.

“Forgive me if I withhold my enthusiasm.” She told in a deadpan tone of voice. It was then Syera got the idea from Twilight as they were going forward.

“Come on Princess, we still have work to do. And here’s the plan. Can you still transform or appear as you were as Nightmare Moon? Cause you’ll need these. Now I’m gonna lead the Townsfolk into position. Get her ready Twilight.” Syera told as she used instant transmission to get back to where Spike, Applejack and the rest were.

“Gosh. I never thought my very first Nightmare Night would be my very last.” Pipsqueak told to himself as he looked around.

“Come, little Pip. Now don't you fret. Nightmare Night's not over yet. We still have candy left to give, so Nightmare Moon might let us live.” Zecord told the young foal.

“She’s right Pip, we all still have a chance to redeem ourselves, Come on Everypony, gather every single piece of candy you have and dump it here and we shall all bring it to the Nightmare Moon statue. And if the Mare in the Moon decided to show herself, then… Hrrrag!” Syera paused for a moment to transform into Super Saiyan. “Then it’ll just have to be a fight for our freedom.”

“Syera you look like you have something planned, what’s going on?” Spike asked her as he came by her side.

“Heh, just wait and see. It’ll be fun.” Syera told smiling.

“Ya know what, you’re right. Come on Kids, let’s go and get this candy to the Nightmare Moon statue, we got our Saiyan friend on our side to help us.” Applejack chimed in with a smile and the kids cheered for the moment.

“Yes. Come on, little ponies. What's Nightmare Night without the annual candy offering? You don't want Nightmare Moon to gobble you up, doooo yoooou?” Mayor Mare told in her spooky voice even though her clown outfit was kinda killing it.

“Aw, the rainbow wig just kills it for me…” Spike told

“You’re telling me, yeesh just look away.” Syera told as she then gathered the candy with the little fillies and colts and carried the huge back to the statue as an offering.

“Goodbye, Nightmare Night. Forever.” Pipsqueak told as he placed his last bit of candy in the pile near the statue. However before all them left, the wind started to pick up again.

“Here we go again…” Syera told as she readies herself for what is about to happen as the plan goes forward.

“Citizens of Ponyville! You were wise to bring this candy to me. I am pleased with your offering. So pleased that I may just eat it... instead of eating you!” Princess Luna was in her Nightmare Moon form as she scared everypony there. However Syera stood her ground and flinched a little at the force of her voice. However, everypony ran for cover while Syera approached the princess as she spat out the fake sharp teeth she had given her

“I am not certain that did what you meant for it to do.” Luna told as she stepped down from the statue near Twilight and Syera.

“Just give it a moment Princess, it’ll run its course.” Twilight told with a confident smile.

“What do you mean, run its course? For what purpose? For... for them to scream some more?” Luna asked a bit confused.

“Actually, quite the opposite, observe.” Syera told as she saw Pipsqueak come over to the princess and tug on her mane to get her attention.

“Um... Princess Luna?” She faced the young colt as he began to speak. “I know there's not gonna be any more Nightmare Night, but do you suppose maybe you could come back next year and scare us again anyway?” He asked all calm and collected with a innocent look upon his face.

“Child. Art thou saying that thou... likest me to scare you?” Princess Luna asked confused as she lookef back at Syera and Twilight, they nodded as if to fulfil their his request for him and the children.

“It's really fun! Scary indeed yes… but fun! We all enjoy it!” Pipsqueak explained as some of the other children were still standing back and waved to her nervously smiling.

“It... is?” Princess Luna asked still confused, however it was coming to her of what the young colt before her was meaning.

“Yeah! Nightmare Night is my favorite night of the year.” Pipsqueak told with all the joy in his voice out loud. There was a brief pause of thought before she came to her final thought.

“Well then. We shall have to bring…” She paused then used her booming Canterlot voice. “Nightmare Night back!”

“Whoa! You're my favorite princess ever!" It wad then Pipsqueak ran back to the rest of the fillies and colts with the good news. "She said yes, you guys!"

"YAY!!!!" Cheered all the foals still dressed too and fro in their nightmare night costumes.

"See? They really do like you, princess." Twilight told the Princess of the Night.

"I guess it's safe to say that our project to see those for you Princess is a success." Syera added with a smile as she crossed her arms as the foals cheered in joy.

"Can it be true?" Princess Luna asked herself.

With a firm nod from Syera and Twilight, the princess erupted with joy as she shouted in her booming Canterlot voice. "Oh, most wonderful of-!" However she corrected herself and spoke on a normal tone of voice. "I mean... Oh, most wonderful of nights."

And so as the night went on to the late hours when the night was at its peak of festivities. Syera and Princess Luna were actually a great pair in a lot of activities, chucking pumpkins was a serious sport in which showed their strength. Diving for apples was another. As well as spider tossing and even the eating contests, now of course not many treats were consumed by other like Syera or Pinkie Pie, even after all the candy consumed.

"You think it's Time Twilight?" Syera asked her sister.

"Yes, Spike. Take a letter" Twilight told their right hand dragon assistant.

"Dear Princess Celestia,
When you first sent us to Ponyville, we didn't know anything about friendship." Twilight spoke first

"Though we both met somepony tonight who was having the same problem -- your sister, Princess Luna!" Syera spoke after and it continued back to back with them as spike wrote.

"She had taught us one of the best things you can do with friendship. And that is to give it to others, and help them find it themselves!" Twilight told as it now ended off with Syera finishing the rest of the letter.

"And it's safe to say that we are happy to report that all of Ponyville has learned that even if somepony seems a little intimidating, even scary, when you offer them your friendship, you'll discover a whole new pony underneath-" Syera paused then looked over at Twilight. "And even if Twilight's Star Swirl the Bearded costume didn't go over, this still turned out to be the best Nightmare Night we all ever had."

"Your faithful students- Syera and Twilight Sparkle." The two spoke together at the end and Spike readied the letter for sending it to the princess. However little did they know Rainbow Dash was planning another shocking surprise.

Syera though sensed her nearly at the last possible moment. But her job was done for her when she saw Rainbow Dash was shocked in the flank by something or rather somepony else.

"GAHHH!!!" she screamed as she scurried away in pain and shock. However when the three looked in the direction of Rainbow Dash's path of flight. Down came Princess Luna on the raincloud. She winked at the three and they all shared a laugh.

"I gotta say Princess, you were right. This is indeed most wonderful of nights." Syera hovered next to the Princess in a sitting matter as Twilight and Spike climbed onto the saiyan's shoulders as they all shared gaze up at the bright moon and stars above.

What awaits Syera and the others, what lies beyond, in Equestrian or beyond.

Find out, next time.

Chapter 26: The perfect pet is only fantasy, Syera and Rainbow Dash's companion search!

View Online

Last Time on Syera: The Equestrian Saiyan
Princess Luna had made her appearance in Ponyville during the most infamous night of the year.

Nightmare Night!

The day of the year where it celebrates the legends of the living horror, Nightmare Moon for whom would be offered goodies from young foals and fillies dressed in disguises as monsters themselves and lived to tell the tale of surviving Nightmare Night. However this time around, a truth came when Princess Luna showed those at Ponyville that she was not the same mare as depicted by the legend of Nightmare Moon.

Thanks to the help of Syera and Twilight Sparkle, Nightmare Night has a new and improved viewpoint on not only the celebration but the real princess of the night.

As time passed from the event, new adventures lie ahead of Syera, Twilight and friends. What is currently going on with the element bearers?

Find out, Now!

Cue intro music - The perfect pet is only fantasy, Syera and Rainbow Dash's companion search!

"Haaaaaaa!!!" Was heard coming when Syera and Rainbow Dash were racing each other up and down in the sky. Rainbow Dash with her lightning-esk speed with Syera's Super Saiyan speed and ability boosts, the two were soaring the skies like none other.

"Yeah!" They both screamed in joy as they sailed, however something odd came into play. It was Twilight's pet owl, Owlowiscious. He is Twilight's number 2 assistant that came around a few weeks ago. Though with a bit of misconfusion and Spike running away thinking Twilight replaced him and Syera beating up a dragon that Spike stumbled upon in a cave full of gems. Owlowiscious then got the roll of being number 2 since he helps Twilight on late night assignments

"Hoo" he chirped out.

"Hoo? Oh wait, Owlowiscious it's you." Syera told smiling as she noticed the owl in question between her and Rainbow Dash.

"Hey Syera! Let's see if he can keep up with us!" Rainbow Dash smirked as she rushed ahead.

"Yes, come on Owlowiscious, let's see what you got!" with a power boost and her aura flaring up, Syera rushed along with Dash and Owlowiscious was holding his own, it was very impressive. However then they hear a familiar bark, it was AJ's dog.

"Wait, Winona?" Rainbow Dash asked. But then something even more weird came about.

"Not just Winona, her head… on Owlowiscious' body?!" Syera shrieked a bit shocked and confused.

"Uh… Is this weird or is it just me Syera?" Rainbow asked confused on what was going on.

"No, it's not just you. Look! It's… Angel??" Syera saw the alligator's body appear with the head of the adorable bunny now appear.

"And Gummy?" Rainbow saw his come next. What is going on?

"Uh… Look, Rainbow Dash I think we just entered in sync with weirdness but full on Wacky land." Syera asked crossing her arms as they stopped and witnessed this together. However it took a turn when the bunny head of Angel opened his mouth and out from the abomination of all the pets was a hissing Opalescence and raised her claws and swiped at the two.

"Ahhh!!" The two screamed and were knocked down and out of the air and they both ended up falling into an abyss of darkness as they both woke up from napping in a tree on some branches that seemed quite comfortable. Until the hissing of Opalescence woke them up.

"Dash!"
"Syera!"

The two screamed each other's names and looked at each other and sighed in relief since it seemed they both napped in the same spot. Weird, they don't even remember falling asleep. Both looked in the direction of all the pets looking up at them and Opal.

Soon afterwards it seemed the owners of the pets were able to assess the situation at hand and settle down the pets that chased poor Opal up the tree our Cyan Pegasus and Saiyan comrade were napping.

It was Twilight, Pinkie, Rarity and Applejack as well as Fluttershy who all came and calmly collected their pets back in order.

After a yawn Syera had, she greeted her friends with Rainbow Dash.

"Hmm, oh hey girls." She waved to them. They all waved back and smiled.

"Alright, let's get this thing started." Applejack told as Pinkie laughed in joy for what they're about to do.

"Sincerest apologies, Rainbow Dash as well as you too Syera, if our pets were bothering your rest." Rarity told as she got Opal out of the tree and she meowed in comfort now. "Now, say you're sorry Opal." She hissed at such a remark towards the saiyan and Pegasus. "She's sorry, I hope…"

"That is completely fine Rarity but the real question me and Dash both have is what are you all doing here?" Syera asked a bit confused on what was going on as she and the Pegasus got out of the tree.

"Are you having some sort of pet event or something?" Rainbow asked.

"Well yeah actually. We always round up our critters for a regular ol' Pony Pet Playdate in this park every week." Applejack explained to the two.

"You two didn't know? I could have sworn you both did." Fluttershy was baffled at the moment by the news but it was easily clarified.

"Well, we had initially planned on inviting you two, of course, except–" Twilight was then cut off as Pinkie did her thing on explaining the situation.

"We were totally gonna invite you two gals, then Twilight remembered that you don't even have a pet, and Rarity remembered that Syera likes to train at this point in the afternoon while Rainbow Dash really like to take naps in the afternoon. So, Applejack figured you wouldn't be missing out on anything anyway, and Fluttershy and I nodded our heads in agreement like this." Pinkie Pie finished as she nodded and moved Fluttershy's head with her hooves up and down to match her nodding.

"Oh, please don't be angry at us you two." Fluttershy pleaded as her head was still nodding in aftermath from Pinkie's antics of over explanation.

"Technically we have no reason to be mad, also yeah I did train around this time but… I had a training partner which was Rainbow Dash but we took a break and I guess that's how we both ended up snoozing." Syera chuckled to herself as did Rainbow Dash.

"Yeah, it was great and a lot of fun but I guess we did get a bit worn out. Either way you are right about us not being able to participate in such an act since we both don't own pets." Rainbow Dash finished off.

"Yes… Unfortunately." Syera told feeling a bit down and left out but she never thought of owning a pet so it didn't seem much of a big deal.

"Eeexactly. So, if'n ya'll excuse us…" Applejack told concluding the conversation when all the evidence was presented. The ponies and their pets got onward with their business. However this left both Rainbow Dash and Syera in a bit of deep thought.

As the ponies were about to play with their pets, Syera had something to say.

"Wait! Girls, just cause Rainbow and I don't own a pet as of now… does not mean we don't ever want one." Syera explained.

"Yeah! We just… Haven't found one that happens to be cool, and awesome that fits around our lifestyle or at least just having one in general that we like". Rainbow confessed at the moment, however this news has hit Fluttershy the hardest with excitement beyond anything they both seen before.

"You really want a pet? Really? 'Cause I've got so many wonderful choices at my house! Oh, and I know you'll just love them! And they'll love you! Oh, and you'll be best friends forever and ever! Oh!" Fluttershy pushed along both Syera and Rainbow Dash to her cottage at the edge of town.

"Oh hay… " Rainbow Dash sighed internally at this.

"Here we go again… " Syera finished off as they were pushed ahead and after one good sing along. It seemed Rainbow Dash and Syera were not able to find their pet of choice just yet. Though at the end of the sing along, it seemed Rainbow got an idea.

"What to do, what to do?" Rainbow murmured but then gasped at the spark came to light.

"A prize! That's it! There's really just one way
To find out which animal's best. Hold a contest of speed, agility, and guts. That will put each pet to the test?" Rainbow sang forward following up with Fluttershy.

"Don't forget style, that should be considered" Then after came Syera

"Then we'll know for sure who's the real best of the litter!" Syera told singing with a forward cartwheel as she walked near some of the animals and held her finger out for one of the birds.

"The one who is awesome as cool" Fluttershy came back in.

"As are we!" Syera and Rainbow sang as they had their backsides pressed against each other."

"Can't settle for less, 'cause we're the best!" The two sang as Fluttershy came in and they all sang together.

"So a contest we will see!"

"Who's the number one, greatest, perfectest pet in the world for me! So may the games begin!" They all sang at the end and then Syera and Rainbow Dash finished with "And may the best pet win!"

"alright, so let's do this!" Syera told excitedly. "But… how shall we lay out this contest first of all Rainbow?" The saiyan asked a bit confused on the contest idea.

"Leave it to me, Fluttershy, round up a hand full of these guys, Syera you come with me." Dash told as Syera followed her and got into the same flow and mind-set as her before the contest starts, look for the pet with the best of the best qualities.

"So remind me Dash, what are we looking for exactly in our new pets?" Syera asked as she adjusted the hat she had on her head, it was a similar one that Rainbow had, only Syera had a tracksuit on as if she was a coach.

"I'll explain once Fluttershy arrives with the line-up." Rainbow told as she was stretching and warming up for this session to find the best pet, it was then she gave Syera a clipboard with a paper result sheet along with a pen. "Hmm, what's this?"

"This is to score each pet Fluttershy brings, write down the name of each creature and score them according to each challenge." Rainbow explained, soon later Fluttershy arrived with multiple types of animals, ranging from all shapes, sizes and species. And so as each pet assembled, Rainbow Dash then blew her whistle to signal their attention.

"So! You all think you've got what it takes to be my pet, do ya? Well, we'll just see about that! If any of you don't think you can handle it, bow out now before you humiliate yourself in front of your peers." Rainbow Dash explained as she looked over each pet with a Stern look.

"This competition isn't for the weak. You'd better be prepared to step up your game and bring your best. Don't make me spell it out now." Syera told smiling with a serious expression as she tapped the pen on the clipboard to let them know it'll be tough, but fun.

"That's right." Rainbow told as she then got in one of the pet's face, a butterfly at that and questioned how he was flapping his wings. "You call that flapping?!" and so it flapped a bit faster. "That's better. There's only room on my Team and Syera's for one of you, and our future pet needs to be able to take it to the extreme!" Rainbow Dash told finishing it off.

"Ok, with that all said and done, do you have any questions?" Syera asked the pets before her. Though some chatter was said by the pony's who observed.

"I got one. Do the two of them fully understand what a pet really needs?" Applejack whispered, Syera listened in and took notes.

"Yeah, like care and attention, love and affection– Ugh! And breath mints!" Twilight told after she got licked on the cheek by Winona, her canine breath must've been kinda wicked at the moment.

"Now, you just pay attention, and try your best." Fluttershy told as she brought the most unlikely pet of all to the fray, a tortoise.

"Seriously, Fluttershy! The turtle? What did you bring that thing here for?" Rainbow Dash complained and was annoyed that this tortoise is even considered a candidate for this competition.

"he's a Tortoise technically, and he's always dreamed of being somepony's pet. He just wants a chance to compete, he won't get in the way. You won't even know he's here." She told as she cleaned and spotted any dirt off his shell.

"I will, I have to keep track of all the participants. Alright, Tortoise added to the list." Syera told smiling and gave a thumbs up after she wrote it down.

"No." Rainbow Dash said in an annoyed tone of voice.

"Oh, just let him try." Fluttershy begged.

"Ugh, but there's no way he can possibly keep up. Look at him!" Rainbow Dash explained as she lightly tapped the green little guy and he flipped to his side and back.

"It won't hurt to let him try." Fluttershy told again as she was not taking no for an answer.

"But–" Rainbow was about to retort but Fluttershy egged it on even more.

"Just let him try?" Fluttershy smiled as she put the poor tortoise in Rainbow Dash's face.

"Come on Rainbow, let's at least give the little guy this shot. I mean what has he to lose? And who knows, he might surprise us both in some sort of way." Syera explained with a smile.

"Ugh… Fine." Dash finally agreed to let the tortoise enter the competition. "But don't say I didn't warn you! This isn't just a game, you know!" She told as she got in the tortoise's face. Then proceeded onward with what is expected.

"Alright Dash, let's explain to these guys what were looking for in them." Syera told with a determined look.

"Yeah, now these performances will test you all in ways you didn't think were possible. And overall, what me and Syera here are looking for in just one of you." Rainbow explained as she bolted at a high burst of speed.

"Speed!" She called out and then Syera performed the next one, where she did a few fast cartwheels and gymnastic type tricks with absolute agility and focused posture and landed on her feet before them.

"Agility!" Syera called out. Rainbow rushed back and posed along with Syera with a strong posture.

"Guts!" She screamed out followed with Syera powering up to a Super Saiyan.

"Power!" Syera smirked as her aura popped and the ground near all of them lightly rumbled with her power.

"Style!" Rainbow chimed out next as she flew to one of the clouds up high and sculpted it out to look like a Pegasus pony.

"And last." Syera told crossing her arms, still in Super Saiyan as Dash landed to her.

"But not least." She chimed out and in unison they both spared lightly and playfully, each of their kicks and blows connected and a small shockwave came out between their auras as the last blow between their legs was hit and collided with each other, Syera was out of Super Saiyan at that point.

"Quality" They both smirked as they finished and each of the pets were awestruck. But of course they had a few more to share.

"And we can't forget about Coolness." Rainbow Dash called out.

"As well as Awesomeness!" Syera told as she stretched and then jumped next to Rainbow at the same time with a hoof and fist high in the air.

"Lastly, Radicalness!" Rainbow explained as she and Syera both put on a pair of their favorite shades and flipped their hats backwards and posed in a really radical fashion.

"Aren't those all the same thing?" Twilight proceed to ask the two of them.

"well… Yes and no." Syera told with a chuckle as she rubbed the back of her head while thinking of it.

"I mean you would think they are Twilight, which is why you won't be qualified to be my pet." Rainbow Dash explained petting Twilight on the head and ruffling her mane before flying off and leading the pets to the first test, for Speed. A nearby track and field course served as their racing ground.

"Alright, the Speed Test!" Syera told as she was ready to log the results for this one.

"On your marks.." Rainbow called out.

"Get Set!" Syera told with a race flag in her hand and the result clipboard in the other. With a whistle blow and flag wave.

"GO!" Syera screamed out excitedly and each pet was off for a full lap around the long track and field. One by one each contestant came across with their time logged and everything. Each one made it and finished at a very decent time, though the Tortoise wasn't doing so well but gave it his best.

"Alright results in, and as far as speed goes. The falcon took this one by far. The eagle second, the Duck third and the owl, fourth. Each and everyone of did great." Syera smiled as she looked over each of the pets, though she couldn't get the sense off her mind that she may have already made up her mind of which pet she wanted. But she just wanted to go along with Rainbow's competition idea first and foremost since it was a lot of fun.

"Tsk tsk… That is just sad" Rainbow Dash told as the tortoise however barely made it a few steps across the start/finish line.

"I'll just mark him as finished Dash, no need to be too hard on em." Syera told as she scribbled the results down.

"Ok, let's move on to the next test!" Rainbow Dash called out as the pets rounded up and they all followed the pegasus pony and Saiyan to the next course.

"This will test your agility, do your best!" Syera called out to them all as the obstacles ahead were pretty versatile. Hoops as well as rings and polls, even small tight tunnels that seemed impossible to get through were truly acts of agility to get through.

One by one again, the pets showed their endurance of agility to Syera and Rainbow Dash, the most agile happened to be the hummingbird this time around, the owl, falcon and eagle were just behind along with the wasp, toucan as well as the butterfly and well… The tortoise surprisingly. Even though he barely even was able to jump.

"very nice to all of you, but still needs work. The Hummingbird was best out of all of you." Syera tallied up the points and results.

"Though the opposite of agility, might wanna look over here." Rainbow Dash told as she pointed out the Tortoise's attempt of agility.

"Sadly… But this, this. Now that is agility!" Syera told as they all looked at the hummingbird as it cleared the course with the most agility ever. Everypony cheered in bliss.

"Don't leave us hanging!" Syera told smirking as the hummingbird came over to her and Rainbow Dash and each got a hoof bump, however the hummingbird nearly fell to the ground after he stopped flapping.

"Whoa, easy there." Syera told as she caught the poor thing.

"Probably gonna shave a point off for that." Rainbow Dash told.

"Come on Dash, give the poor thing a handicap. These guys do flap very fast so if they do stop they will fall." Syera explained.

"Alright, but just this once since this one did score the best. Ok, let's move on!" Rainbow Dash told as the next test came up pretty quickly and it involved…

"Opal's favorite chew toy?" Syera asked.

"Just watch Syera. Alright, which one of you has the guts! To take Opal's favorite toy away from her!" Rainbow asked all of them as Opal hissed viciously at all them as she protected her toy.

It seemed most of the animals became all chicken to even take a swing at it. However the one that stepped up here seemed to be the monarch butterfly, he used some sort of visual illusion with his wings to hypnotize Opal.

"Whoa, now that is something else" Syera clapped and cheered.

"Yeah! Now that takes guts indeedly" Rainbow Dash cheered along. It seemed that the test was passed by the Monarch butterfly. What an unexpected turn of events. Next up was the test to look the most absolute coolest in style, awesomeness and radicalness alongside Syera and Rainbow Dash.

"Style!" Rainbow Dash shouted as then she as well as Syera took pictures with each pet and posed in all shorts of cool ways. "Any pet of mine's gotta look good, 'cause you gotta make me look good!"

"Same here Dash, gotta look the absolute best with a pet." Syera added as the photoshoot began, out all the pets that were in the photos, the Tortoise seemed to be the most camera shy since when the flash was taken, he'd hide in his shell. Syera chuckled in her photo when it was taken. Though Rainbow Dash in her's, she seemed more on the uncomfortable side so style wasn't shown much in that one.

"next, Coolness!" Syera seemed excited for this one. On the line up that was left, the bat, owl, Duck as well as the wasp, toucan, tortoise, and Eagle were up to show what can be cool. Throughout all of them, the Eagle out did them with it's very aggressive bird cry.

"Now that was cool. I think we know who passed this one Rainbow." Syera put down the winner results for the coolness test.

Next on the list was the radicalness test, each pet had to put on a radical performance to show their radical nature. Whoever was the most radical wins.
One performance after another, it seemed to become more and more drawn out since Syera and Dash were about to fall asleep on some of them. However the Bat caught their attention when he played a melody using his wings in a few wine glasses then used some sort of sonar shriek to crumble them to pieces.

"Oh hell yeah! I have to say that was radically incredible!" Syera clapped. However Rainbow was a bit to technical of it.

"That was truly awesome, but it didn't seem radical enough to me so, I gotta take a few points off." Rainbow wrote down the results.

"what? That was totally radical Rainbow Dash. But I guess in a way you're right… " Syera seemed bummed about the results and explanation but she had nothing else but to back up the fact it was awesome, just not so radical. But it was indeed radical.

Next up was the Tortoise and to Syera's surprisal was such a dangerous obstacle course he was gonna go through. She just hoped the little guy wouldn't hurt himself too bad.

"Oooo, now this might prove interesting." Syera told as she watched with great interest. However her and Rainbow Dash's expectations kinda went out the door when the poor thing lost his balance and fell off the course at the first jump.

Rainbow Dash and sighed and had enough and went to the poor thing and then began to explain something to him.

"Listen, turtle…" she spoke to him before being cut off by Fluttershy that he is not a turtle. But undoubtedly a…

"Tortoise." Which made Rainbow growl in annoyance and said.

"Whatever! You've had your fun, but I think you and I both know who made the cut and who didn't." Rainbow explained in which the tortoise made a soft grunting croak sound at her.

"You didn't… I mean, 'A' for effort and everything, you gave it your best shot, maybe I've got a gold star sticker around here somewhere you can have, but, seriously, go home. You're starting to creep me out…" Rainbow Dash explained to him and walked off. There was one last performance, it was the humming bird and surprisingly the trick it was performing was actually taming giant two legged lizard.

"Huh? Whoa!" Syera's eyes lit up and a big smile came across her mug as she watched. The hummingbird then flew around the lizard in a swirling fashion as it then jumped and balanced itself onto a ball and rolled off.

"That was incredible! You're definitely moving on to the final event!" She clapped as well as everypony else who watched.

"wow Syera, I didn't think you'd find Tori's performance so breathtaking." Fluttershy told the saiyan and then Syera faced her with still pretty big smile.

"Are you kidding?! That was so radical, awesome and took so much guts, power and style! To even teach such a creature to ride off and balance on a ball like that. Wait, What was her name again Fluttershy?" Syera asked amazed.

"The hummingbird, oh, her name is Tori. She was always such a unique Hummingbird, it was a shame when I found her all alone out in the Everfree Forest. Many moons ago but she always had a special talent of making animals balance on round objects and even ride off on them." Fluttershy explained as Tori landed on her hoof and then she gave her to Syera. In which Tori rested on her shoulder and tweeted softly nuzzling the Saiyan.

"Ohhh… Aww." Syera nuzzled back softly. "Hehe, alright. Fluttershy I think I found my pet. Tori, but there is one last test to pass to make it official. And uh… Rainbow Dash? What is the last test?" Syera asked the rainbow maned Pegasus pony.

"I'm getting to that Syera." Rainbow explained as she cleared her throat. "Alright, you've all done outstanding well, but there can only be one of you who's number one. So the final tie-breaking contest is going to be... pause for dramatic effect... a race against... me and Syera! Through Ghastly Gorge!" Rainbow told with a fierce look. In which Syera walked up to and pulled her A-side and asked in a whisper.

"Ghastly Gorge are you crazy? That place is dangerous for these guys, you really think this should be their final test?" She asked then Rainbow smiled and laughed.

"lighten up Syera, they can handle it, if they got the guts we saw earlier!" Rainbow Dash edged them on with a smile. A few moments later as the crew of ponies were set up on the other end of Ghastly Gorge while Syera, Rainbow Dash. Tori and the other pets including the Tortoise, he was not giving up so easily.

"Here we are! Dun dun dun!" Rainbow Dash spoke and made that last part echo the canyon. However the eagle seemed a bit scared since he squealed in a bit of hesitation. "Gesundheit." She told him to make him lighten up.

"Actually, Ghastly Gorge isn't scary. It's fun. Heh. I've flown through it a million times myself, so obviously I'll be at the front of the pack." Rainbow Dash claimed.

"Are you positive you wanna lead this one Rainbow? Cause I can tell this place it hostile with all that is crawling in there." Syera told as she got a good feel for the area and there are signs of Quarray eels in this canyon and they are extremely protective of their territory.

"You see those holes in the sides of the rock you all? Quarray Eels have made nests in that section of the Canyon, watch out for them as well as where they could be burrowing next. Aren't there also caves and Thorn bushes, and I mean heavy thick Thorn bushes?" Syera asked after she pointed out the Eel situation.

"yeah… And the chances of avalanches are possible to, rock sliding avalanches. So everypony, watch what you touch since a lot of this land is loose." Rainbow told smiling. Then explained how this race will work.

"So, what that being said! Whichever one of you make it across the finish line with me, and same goes for Syera; Will have proven you can keep up with us, and will have earned the honor and glory of getting to be our pet!" She then started the countdown after each pet had a chance to stretch as well as herself and Syera before beginning said countdown.

"Ready?" She asked then pulled a fast one. "Setgo! Hahaha!" She laughed as Syera waved each pet on and followed ahead with Rainbow Dash and all the pets flew and stayed pretty close. Tori, the little hummingbird was well on her way near Syera. The eagle, falcon, bat as well as the owl and… tortoise who was behind the pack at his own pace was actually making progress well to keep track of them all.

"Woo-hoo! Haha! Try to keep up!" Rainbow shouted in a cheer as she enjoyed the flight so far.

"I think they're doing more than that Rainbow Dash, cause they're determined, look at em!" Syera was right as each pet gave it all, it was a do or do not situation for them. They gave it their all, and more than just trying. The real challenge was just getting through the obstacles ahead.

The first involved one of the caves, a strong head-on wind blew through it was extreme velocity and small debris came with it.

"Hrg! Push through it every pet! Go!" Syera shouted as the wind did get intense. She powered up a little and slingshot out using the "Kaioken!" She shouted and in a red blaze she came out the other end next to Rainbow Dash and brushed themselves off.

"Can't catch me, ha-ha!" Rainbow taunted each pet that came out then darted away.

"show off!" Syera shouted back as she did the same as she confirmed each pet made it through. The tortoise was working hard too, he just kept going.

"Man, what a Tank. He just doesn't stop. Hang it there little guy!" Syera told as she dashed off to the rest of the pets and got near Rainbow Dash again.

"C'mon, slowpokes! You wanna win, don't ya?" Rainbow Taunted once more as she then dashed right through the Thorn Bush thicket. It was razor sharp. Syera was able to get through it mostly no problem. She had to punch a few holes in with Ki blasts so she could fit. A few of the pets got stuck so she was able to get them unstuck. Cutting a few pieces of her Gi in the process but nothing tore into her skin luckily. The bat however was able to go through flawlessly as it used it's sonar like abilities to navigate the thicket no problem. The next test was a bit more dangerous however, the Quarray Eels.

"Watch out for the Quarray eels up ahead! As Syera mentioned, They don't like it when you get too close to their nests, like this!" Rainbow demonstrated as the eels popped out one by one and tried to eat her.

"Alright, this will be good, just avoid the nests as best you can pets!" Syera lead the group through for the most part. Each pet nearly bit the dust. The bat almost got swallowed by one of them. But it came out the Eel's nose. The Eagle almost got its head bitten clean off. The Owl's strength caught the top of one of the Eel's jaws and he was able to jump out. The falcon got his tail feathers clipped off as he almost got pulled on in to one of their nests for a snack. Syera however ducked and weaved through em, however one got close to bite her however she countered it with a fist to the jaw, breaking some of its teeth and it backed off whining.

"Tsk, that's right, I ain't your Snack buddy." She told, Tori was able to get through it all very well at best. Not a single one was able to touch her. She even taunted them and made one of them bite another, those two Eels ended up fighting a little, giving Tori a chance to get away.

"Heh, Easy, peasy, one-two-threesy! Right, guys?" Rainbow Dash asked, however she didn't look where she was going.

"Rainbow Dash look out!" Syera shouted to her but it was too late, back first, Rainbow Dash smacked the side of the canyon causing a crack to form and rocks to come tumbling down on a full on Avalanche.

"Everypet move! Quickly!" Syera told them all in which they did.

"AVALANCHE! Whoaaaa!" Rainbow shouted however she got hit by one of the rocks.

"Agh! Dash!" Syera called out but forgot to look where the rocks fell and one hit her on the back of her neck, knocking her out in the process. "Agh! Ahhh…" Syera fell hard next to Rainbow Dash.

"Syera! C'mon... No!" She was in shock as her wing was stuck and her saiyan friend was out cold. "Wait! Come back! Don't leave us!" She shouted to the pets that flew off. "Plus… I'm the one who's supposed to win! I don't wanna end up stuck here... forever! Oh no, nonono, th-this can't be happening. Forever is way too long to be trapped in Ghastly Gorge. I mean, it's like, forever! Somepony! Anypony! Help us!" She freaked out as only to sit on her rump and a few tears came out of her eyes. But she heard some rustling and got excited.

"Wahoo! My prayers have been answered! Hold on Syera, we got help!" Rainbow Dash told the Saiyan who was unfortunately still out cold. Only to be greeted by the Tortoise who was the only one left. However Tori came back around as the dust settled and was sad to see Syera out cold.

"Oh, thankyouthankyoutha– You?! Oh no! Now I'm not only going to be stuck here forever, I'm gonna be stuck here forever with the most annoying turtle in the world! Gyh, we're doomed. DOOMED, I tell you!" Rainbow Dash shrieked only to be slapped by Tori whole frowned at her and her doubtness.

"You're right… I shouldn't be acting like this, but my wing is stuck and Syera would be able to shatter it to pieces but she's out cold… " Rainbow Dash nearly gave up, however the Tortoise dug a small hole and was able to use his raw strength to lift the boulder off her wing, which shocked her big time.

"Whoa! Tortoise, forget what I said, you're my hero… Thank you, but seriously, we need to get Syera out of here. Tori, can you help us?" Rainbow picked up Syera's torso area while Tank and Tori balanced out her bottom half. With a small groan, Syera mumbled something.

"Mmnrg… R… Rainbow… " she softly said.

"Hang in there girl, our pets are here to help us. We just gotta make it through…" Rainbow was determined to get her friend out, but she wasn't alone. With their new pets at their side, they were able to make it out with scuffs and bruises. By the end of it all, Syera was able to regain consciousness. Everypony ahead was cheering for them all as they came back, with their new pets. However they seemed to be moving kinda slow.

"Maybe we'd better go meet him halfway." Fluttershy suggested to where they moved the finish line so they'd all Cross it together.

"Huh. Way to go, little guy!" Spike spoke to the Tortoise as Syera stood up holding her neck since it was still wringing with a small amount of pain.

"Oh, thank goodness you two aren't hurt!" Twilight told in a small worried tone.

"Heh, just our pride is a bit hurt I suppose. But not our spirits, right Rainbow Dash?" Syera asked as she popped her neck back into place after such a collision with those rocks.

"heh, hay yeah. Just gonna have to take it easy on this wing for a bit and should be good to go." Rainbow Dash told.

"Well, I can assume now, our pets is who we can count on, especially today" Syera held her finger out for Tori to land on and she softly nuzzled the her.

"yeah… " She told smiling softly.

"I certainly hope all of this dreadful dust was worth it! Achoo!" Rarity told with a sneeze following up.

"It sure was, if'n it means Rainbow as well as Syera gets to have their own little critter just like the rest of us from now on." Applejack followed up after.

"Uh... thanks. What you did... I owe you one." Rainbow Dash told the tortoise as she hopped off his shell and gave him a small hoof bump.

"Probably more than one Rainbow Dash, this little guy is just- " Before Syera could say another more.

"Rainbow, Your new pet is over here waiting for you!" Fluttershy told as everypony there awed at the winner of the racing challenge, which was the falcon.

"Oh... Right... Yeah... That." Rainbow seemed a bit bummed out which everypony took notice.

"What's the matter?" Spike asked as then Pinkie leaned in on his head and said.
"You got your perfect pet, right?" She told followed with Fluttershy saying.
"The best of the best like you wanted, remember? It can fly and it's not a squirrel! Should we sing about it again?" She asked.

"No more singing, my head can barely take it, let alone my neck, gonna need a magic bean to heal this up…" Syera told laughing a little as well as the rest.

"A falcon sure looks good on ya, Rainbow." Applejack commented before a snap and flash of a camera came to Rainbow's photo with the Falcon sorta made it official. However the flash scared the tortoise and made him go in his shell.

"Easy, fella. Nothing to be afraid of." She told softly rubbing his shell before pausing and looking at the falcon before stating. "The falcon sure does looks cool... He's absolutely everything I wanted in a pet."

"Yay?" Fluttershy was a bit confused.

"Though Rainbow Dash, I do recall you saying whoever crosses the finish line with me and you gets to be our pet right?"

"She did! She did say that! She did say that was the rule!" Pinkie Pie pointed out with a confident sounding excited tone as she got in Syera's face and bounced all around shouting that out.

"Correct my Saiyan companion; And the only racer who crossed the finish line with me and you was the one who stopped to save us when we needed help. The tortoise! As well as Tori, your Hummingbird." Rainbow stated out, this news shocked the Falcon in which he admitted defeat and shock the tortoise as in good sportspetship it ended off as the Tortoise being the winner.

"Right you are Rainbow Dash, and I couldn't be happier that the both got the one pet we definitely wanted, or in this case. Needed, to save our hides." Syera gave a solid thumbs up and a smile as she and Rainbow Dash then got ready for another photo. This one the Tortoise was ready and he as well as Rainbow Dash, Tori and Syera got in the photo and were all smiling.

"But what about the–" Twilight was about to go on about the rules before Syera looked at her and just Shook her head no.

"Doesn't matter now, what matters now is this was all a success, wouldn't you agree Dash?" Syera asked.

"I will indeed say yes." Dash told as she then looked at the tortoise who began to slowly smile, a most magnificent site to see indeed.

"Wouldja look at that? He even smiles slow." Applejack told and they all shared a laugh.

"Rainbow, I think it's about that time." Syera pointed out in regards to the lesson they all learned.

"Yep. Yo Spike, take a letter." Dash told as Spike took his trusty quill and parchment out.

"Dear Princess Celestia,
I used to think that the most important traits to look for in a pet, or any best friend, were all physical competitive abilities, like Syera. But now I can see how short-sighted and shallow that was." She took a pause as she hoof bumped Syera.

"Heh, you can say that again and I'll agree every time. But I still enjoy our little brawls." Syera smiled as she watched the tortoise do a sneak move and took Opalescence's mouse toy. As if her were a Tank, it didn't phase him at all and Opal respected that and walked off. Rainbow then continued the letter.

"Today I learned what the most important quality really is. A certain kind of spirit. A stick-to-it-ive-ness. A never give up, can-do attitude that's the mark of a real winner. And this tortoise has it." Rainbow Dash told

"Tenacity" Twilight told as the word she was looking at it.

"Gesundheit" Syera spoke with a chuckle in that word as well as Rainbow Dash who then continued to the end of the letter.

"You just can't stop that little guy. He's like a... like a... Tank!" She spoke putting a hoof on his shell with a confidence in his strength.

"Funny, I was thinking the exact same thing. Tank, yeah that's a great name for him." Syera spoke smiling at such a great name for the little guy.

"But Rainbow! You didn't want a pet that couldn't fly because it would keep you grounded and hold you back, remember?" Fluttershy told. In which Rainbow had a moment to think.

"Hey Syera, do you remember that one weather experiment I showed you not long ago with the propeller attachment?" Rainbow Dash asked in which Syera gasped.

"Oh yeah, now this should be fun." Syera told as she got to work. And a few days later when they were all together again for a playdate with their pets. Rainbow Dash and Syera both had their own pets to participate in.

"Heh. C'mon, Tank! We're gonna be late for our very first Pony Pet Playdate!" Rainbow called out to Tank who was now wearing a the propeller device on his she'll in which he could now fly with Rainbow Dash, he even had his own pair of goggles to go with it.

"Gotta admit, I amazed myself with that one. Tori, you helped tremendously with that one too since he can stay stationary and move in any direction with how your patterns of flight work." Syera told flying alongside Tori who still had her ball rolling Lizard too. Such an amazing trick, Syera wondered what else could her pet train to do such a stunt.

Either way, the playdate was fantastic and so much fun was had there. Syera soon sat with everypony and every pet at the base of a tree as the sun was high in the sky but was soon setting. They all snuggled together for one nap of the day after all the excitement.

"I guess having a pet isn't so bad." Rainbow commented as she patted Tank on the side of his shell as he snuggled close to her. Tori landed on the shoulder of Syera and snuggled close to the saiyan's neck.

"hmm, right you are Rainbow Dash… " She yawned before closing her eyes and saying one last time. "Right on you are. This is the best thing we could ever ask for." And with that, the journey of finding pet has ended.

What awaits Syera, Rainbow Dash and the others with their pets in arms and hooves.

Chapter 27: The Heroes of Ponyville, is it Syera and Rainbow Dash? Or the new pony in town, Mare Do Well?

View Online

Last time on Syera: The Equestrian Saiyan

The courageous saiyan and blue blur Pegasus Rainbow Dash each got their own little critter to call their pet.

Tank the Tortoise and Tori the hummingbird. While both pets seemed unlikely for the two element bearers, the courage and loyal acts the pets have done to help the two throughout their last test, a race against the Saiyan and Pegasus.

A nasty rockslide occurred due to an avalanche caused by Rainbow Dash smacking herself into a nearby wall.

"Rainbow Dash watch out!" Syera had called out as the rocks came tumbling down onto them, only to nearly crushed by the rocks. Luckily the pets of Rainbow Dash and Syera, Tori the Hummingbird and Tank the Tortoise rescued them from the rockslide. Making the two animals the official pets of the blue pegasus and the saiyan woman.

After having a first ever pet playdate with their friends, what appears next for Syera as well as her dear sister Twilight Sparkle and Rainbow Dash and friends.

Find out now!

Cue intro music - "The Heroes of Ponyville, is it Syera and Rainbow Dash? Or the new pony in town, Mare Do Well?"

"Hurrah!" Syera was in the middle of training, this time around she decided to do a new method, self harm. She shot a Celestial Blast and curved it around the trunk of a nearby tree, causing to go back at her. she planned to take it head on.

"Whoa!" She braced for impact and as the energy wave hit her, the force of it caused her to fall on her back, clothes tattered and torn. So tattered that her pant legs were nearly disintegrated along with her top, luckily her underwear and bra wrappings were lucky enough to survive.

"Mm… Phew, that one was a strong one, OK, one more time!" Syera was about to give herself another when she suddenly heard a call out from a nearby treehouse. "Hmm? Was that Scootaloo? I should check it out." On the way over, Syera encountered Rainbow Dash who too was eavesdropping on this fanclub meeting. It seemed to consist of Rainbow Dash and… The saiyan in crime, Syera. Though some would wear Rainbow styled wigs like Rainbow Dash's mane and some even wore golden spiky hair wigs similar to Syera's super saiyan look, they even had the two Bangs to match.

"Syera you're just in time." Rainbow Dash whispered to her.

"in time for what, what is going on?" Syera whispered back as they peeked in the window. And to be told, Syera's question was answered.

"Attention, everypony! Attention please! The official Rainbow Dash and Syera Sparkle Fan Club will come to order. Let's get right down to our first order of business. I motion that Rainbow Dash be declared the most awesome pony in Ponyville, as well as Syera to be the coolest Super Saiyan in Ponyville" Scootaloo was wearing a Rainbow styled mane as she announced all this, also she wore surprisingly all sky blue contacts, similar to how Syera's eye color changes when she transforms.

"I second the motion, and might I add that if you looked up the word 'awesome' in the dictionary, there would be a picture of Rainbow Dash." Snails added and then Snips added on.

"I object in regards to Syera, I mean coolest, how about the Superist of Saiyan, cause I am sure if you look up Super in a dictionary, her picture would be right there." Snips told with a firm assumption.

"If that's the case, Rainbow Dash isn't too fitting for awesomeness, she needs to be considered Stupendous!" One of the fan club ponies called out

"Stupendous, really? Is that the best word you all can think of to describe Rainbow Dash? Granted the Superist of Saiyans fits Syera like a glove, no pun intended since she loves to wear those gloves of hers with that amazing Gi." Scootaloo almost got off topic about Syera and her gloves before snapping back into the topic at hoof, what would describe Rainbow Dash the best.

"If any word should describe Rainbow Dash, it's wonderiffic!" Scootaloo entitled, in which caused a big uproar of what word should describe the blue Pegasus the best.

Back outside the club house, it seemed Syera saw what was really happening her, amazing to think she and Rainbow Dash have their own fan club.

"Wow they really are serious on finding a way to describe us Rainbow." Syera told crossing her arms.

"Hmm, yeah. But what would describe me since they already did for you?" Rainbow Dash asked. As she even thought of it. Words like "Astounding, Astonishing, Breathtaking" and even "Bedazzling" had come in to describe her. Then Rainbow Dash took the cake and peeped her mouth through a side window and suggest the following.

"What about super-ultra-extreme-awesomazing since Syera is the Superist-extreme-alltime-pure-insaiyan." Rainbow Dash was a genius since she not only came up for a way to describe her but Syera as well. In which everypony in that fanclub cheered in agreement since those terms were so on point that awesomeness was too shameful to even be described as such.

All in favor of declaring Rainbow Dash the most 'super-ultra-extra-uh-whatever' you said as well as Syera the 'superist-extreme-insaiyanist' whatever the rest was, say Aye!" Scootaloo proclaimed as final and the entire club screamed aye in favor for both in all for one.

"Heh, not bad Rainbow. That was pretty clever using the term 'insaiyan' in the mix there with my terminology definition." Syera chuckled as they flew up in the sky since their work in the fanclub was done with such success and cheers from their fandom admirers.

"Hehe, yeah. It was pretty good, anyway you normally dress in tattered clothing or were you training hard as usual?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Oh? Hehe, training hard as usual, I actually need a bath since… Phew, I've been training since early this morning since the training Regiment I followed today were intense." Syera foretold.

"Oh yeah, how intense?" Rainbow asked.

"Let's just say I decided a little 'self-unforeseen repercussions' on myself would fit for today's session." Syera chuckled.

"Ooo, do tell?" Rainbow Dash was intrigued by this one.

"You know how you told me you flew through heavy rain and wind storms not long ago Dash? Well I did something not quite as similar but probably on the same or more intensity since not only do I feel stronger from it, but I think my body has grown very resilient from all the energy waves I casted and blew myself up with." Syera told in which Rainbow Dash stopped and asked the saiyan.

"Wait hold up, so lemme get this straight? You… Blew yourself up with your own energy blasts!? Syera, that is absolutely insaiyan yet so extremely awesome! Especially with your power, I am surprised anypony could survive their own destruction upon themselves." Rainbow was utterly surprised by such a training method that is was indeed genius yet downright crazy to inflict self-harm to yourself in the process.

"Tehehe, I'm glad you think so since it's really been proving useful, I barely get a scratch on me now, well except for my clothes, they aren't so lucky unfortunately." Syera remarked as her gi was indeed rubbish at this point. She was gonna have to restore it later, granted this was only a copy of the magic one she had gotten as a kid and has grown into a full size since it aged with her. Rarity made just exact copies and gave em to the Saiyan, while also making a pony version of it which sold like gold found in a mine shaft. Only thing it was offered in many colors.

"Thank Celestia you are ok, after all, I'd hate to see you die due to your own attack thrown at you by your own accord." Rainbow Dash chuckled with the Saiyan

"yeah that was suck hugely. Anyway I gotta go Rainbow, I'll see you later I guess after I grab a shower and a new outfit." Syera told waving good-bye to the blue Pegasus soon making her way back to the library where she could change and freshen up.

Upon entering the Library door. Syera was greeted to Spike cleaning up something with a Broom and dust Pan.

"Hey Syera, back from another training session? I can see your clothes are a bit messy." Spike remarked with a small chuckle.

"Heh, Yeah I'm back, and surprisingly okay except for the dirt and such. My energy blasts are intense when used upon myself but I can feel my resilience growing stronger and higher than before." Syera clenched her fist as she flexed her arm and felt something new coming upon her as far as her base power. "and I feel that my Super Saiyan abilities will go even further at this point. Though, training in Equestria is good since the gravity here is about half of King Kai's place. But I feel I should revisit him for more intense training someday soon."

"Just how much stronger do you possibly want to be?" Twilight asked as she walked into the room and observed her tattered up Saiyan sister in front of her with concern.

"You remember how strong Discord was. If I can't defeat him without the elements of harmonies power than what good am I alone if you can't help anymore? If I don't become stronger than who will Twilight? This is our home, I can't let it go and lose it. Which is why I will do whatever it takes to become as strong as I can be." Syera told as she powered up to Super Saiyan 2. "Hrraghhh!"

Covering their eyes, Twilight and Spike looked in awe at the saiyan before them, her power nearly breaking the library around them. Luckily the spell Twilight has on the place can contain the power of such a state.

"I think I understand Syera, but that's the thing. You're not alone. You have me, Spike and our friends. We will be with you till the end, Elements or no Elements. We got this." Twilight reassured her sister once she looked her in the eyes after being able to open them due to Super Saiyan 2's intense aura flaring light it produces. She approached Syera and gave her a hug which calmed the Saiyan down. Syera gave a hug back as she kneeled down and her aura calmed and she was in a calm Super Saiyan 2 state, the electric arcs stopped.

"I'm glad to hear that sis. I only wish to have such a thing be true with you all. But for now I know it's possible indeed. Anyway, I need a bath. A really good one after the session I had today." Syera told chuckling lightly as she walked up the stairs.

"Enjoy your bath, cause phew… Yeah you do need one." Twilight told covering her nose from the smell only a Saiyan could produce from such training.

"I'll get your clothes ready for you Syera. And after your done how about we get a bite to eat?" Spike offered.

"that sounds great Spike." Twilight encouraged this idea.

"Yeah, I'll be out quick you two. Don't worry." Syera then got to the bathroom area and removed her clothing for the shower ahead of her.

"This Gi, it really needs some TLC, I guess I could give it to Rarity for her to look upon, maybe she'll fix it up for me. After all, she is an icon at what she does." Syera remarked her glamorous unicorn friend, her fashion tastes know no bounds when it comes to clothing. She might even add a few adjustments to it.

One nice and refreshing herbal bath and shampoo hair washing later, Syera emerged from the bathroom with a towel around her body and hair.

"Ahh, much better." She said as she walked to her room and saw her clothes laid out for her on her bed. Her room in the library was under Twilight's and there was a surprisingly good amount of space considering how tight the library can be sometimes, besides it having the basement for other storage. Her space was fair with a dresser and closet for space and a big mirror so she could look at herself when freshening up.

"Hmm.. " she hummed and took her towel off and soon put on a pair of panties she had in her dresser along with a lace strap bra. Soon removing the towel from her head and then getting dressed in her casual clothing. Which consisted of some black shorts, a white T-shirt with a design on the back which was King Kai's symbol of his dojo. She then threw on a pair of boots and then a pair of gloves, they were finger-less at that. It was after she brushed her hair thoroughly, she came out of her room and out of the library. She figured that Twilight and Spike got a head start and she meet them at the cafe they usually go to.

"Alright, ahh.. What a day. I think I'll just enjoy the scenery with a small flight over to them instead of using instant transmission." Syera took the sky high and proud over Ponyville. Enjoying the breeze on her face and the cool crisp fall air touch her skin. She knew that Hearth's Warming wasn't too far off but the remnants of summer are still making it's last push before it officially is out and fall is in.

"Hmm… Huh?" Syera looked over her shoulder as she heard something. A plea for help was called upon from a distance. It was Aura, she was in danger.

"Hmph, alright I'm on my way!" Syera raced to the spot where she heard the call for help. Funny enough she was joined by Rainbow Dash.

"Syera! You hear the call for help too?" Rainbow asked as she was on the left side of the saiyan.

"Yeah, let's hurry." She recommend as they both picked up the pace.

"Help! Help! Help! Help!" Aura pleaded, it sounded like the young filly was stuck in an old well. Poor thing must've fell through.

"It's okay!" Syera called out as she busted the old boards out of the way.

"We're here to save you little one!" Rainbow Dash followed the Saiyan into the well, it was indeed dark and they could barely see the bottom.

"Hrgh! Let there be Super Saiyan light!" Syera shouted as the two got to the bottom of the well, it opened up pretty far into a small cavern beneath Ponyville.

"Little one? Where are you?" Syera asked in a shout in the cavern.

"Over here…" The filly called, it was Aura. One of the school fillies. She loved hanging around the old well, guess she got too adventurous when exploring it.

"Are you alright? Anything broken?" Rainbow Dash asked. With a small tear the filly showed her hoof to the two of them.

"Oo… Alright hold still. I can help." Syera slowly touched the filly's little hoof in her palm. With a small inhale and exhale. A small shimmer of Ki energy wrapped itself around the hoof of the filly. Healing her wound.

"There, that should do it, just a small bit of my own energy does wonders." Syera spoke with a smile. With a smile from the young filly of joy, she hugged the saiyan tightly.

"thank you Syera, and you too Rainbow Dash." Aura spoke as she held on tight to the saiyan as they flew out of the well.

"you're very welcome, now let's get you home. Super Saiyan style. Haaa!!" Syera picked up speed and in a golden light she emerged out of the well with the filly in her arms as well as Rainbow Dash at her side. Both became heroes in this act, drawing a small crowd as well as they came out.

"Hmph, here you go little one. What was your name again?" Syera asked as she set the filly down.

"It's Aura, and you two are my heroes, Syera and Rainbow Dash!" Aura cheered with the crowd.

"shucks, this crowd is too much. Really it was no big deal you guys." Rainbow told as she and Syera only acted for the greater good of saving that filly's life.

"Really it was I have to agree with her. We only did what was right. Hmm.." Syera turned out of Super Saiyan. "Anyway, you should run home and get a bath young filly, you are covered in muck." The saiyan told with a chuckle.

"Will do, thank you again. You two are real heroes!" Aura told with a smile and cheer with the crowd.

"Heh, you're welcome. Bye!" Syera then turned her attention to Rainbow Dash. "Hey Dash, I'm about to get something to eat. You wanna come?"

"I was in the middle of a cloud swim, but I think I might join you in a bit after I'm done. It'll work up an appetite." Rainbow told as she took the skies above where the clouds were the poofiest and puffiest. "See ya Syera!" She called out and a wave came from the saiyan as she headed in the opposite direction to where Twilight and Spike as well as Pinkie Pie were waiting.

"Hey girls, Spike. Sorry we took a bit longer than expected." Syera was about to explain but Pinkie was way ahead of her.

"Oh it's totally fine, we saw how you and Rainbow saved that filly, it was sooooo heroic!" Pinkie cheered in her seat.

"It really was amazing seeing you two as a duo. You seem to work well when together in situations like that." Twilight remarked of seeing how the synergy between Rainbow Dash and Syera as a team looked.

"Shoot, it was nothing. Were just both glad that little filly Aura is safe and sound. But phew I'm starving…" Syera told in a bit of an exaggeration after telling off her act of heroism to be no big deal since it was the right thing to do. After ordering a few plates of full course meals. Syera thanked the waiters for the food prepared for her. Since it was all special order, they were hoof picked from many regions all over the world, since Syera orders from a specialty menu that serves meats and other delights. Granted she does eat some of the foods Ponies eat but not all the time.

"nom nom nom!" Syera began to eat at a well paced format, which seemed fast yet clean. Only thing is that her plates her stacked high and high and much higher. When it was all said and done. The Saiyan's belly was sated and full. "Phew… Mmm, that was good" Syera licked her lips then used a napkin or two to wipe her mouth.

"You never fail to surprise me on how much you can put down Syera, yet you always seem so good in shape?" Spike told as she wondered how does this girl put all that food away.

"Hehe, well I think I remember Twilight asking the same thing and she found out why, which was what exactly?" Syera asked Twilight as they both listened to the unicorn in question

"Right, as far as the test results go, from your training sessions to just over all. You saiyans burn a lot of calories, like they go off the charts in exactly how many but a whole bunch to be exact. And to suffice such loss is large quantities of food. Ranging from meats, vegetables and fruits. Heck, the amount of water you drink could fill a small bucket. Though I see you don't drink juices or sodas often which is good." Twilight remarked as she regarded her sister's diet.

"Yeah… I mean from time to time I might have a refreshing sports juice drink after a training session or a water from my canteen jar. But rarely any kind of carbonated drink. Hell even Cider from AJ is a rare thing I have except on occasion." Syera told as she stretched and yawned a little.

"Granted I could go for a nap after a meal like that, but I think I might skip it and stay awake so I don't throw off my sleep schedule." Syera told as she got up from the table and stretched slightly. Then waving over the waiter for the bill so they could pay. Surprisingly Syera's special order meals get covered fairly easy since she makes good amounts of money from not only at Applejack's place, but she does help a lot of folks in Ponyville, usually physical activities nopony else does often except the occasional Earth Pony.

And she gets paid handsomely for how quickly she can accomplish them. Plus she enjoys it since it is a good workout to add to her training.

"there we go, keep the change. Tip included as well." Syera said after signing the bill receipt with a good size pouch full of bits.

"we appreciate your business Syera. Hope to see you soon, we'll have something special next time around for you to try." The waiter told with a smile as she and a few others cleaned the table of the plates and bowls she left as well as the plates Twilight and Spike had.

"Phew, that was a great meal. What now?" Syera told after they left the restaurant.

"well first off, I have a few errands to run before heading back home. Spike, are you coming?" Twilight asked the little dragon after telling her plans to Syera.

"Sadly no, I got something to help Rarity with and she really needs me so I promised I'd see her after lunch with you guys. So I'll see you two later yeah?" Spike asked as he walked in the direction of Rarity's boutique.

"Yeah Spike, see you guys around!" Syera spoke as she walked in one direction as the others did the same.

"okay… What should I do now?" Syera was gathering her thoughts when all of a sudden she didn't notice she bumped into somepony. With a small grunt she feel on her butt as well as the pony she walked into.

"Ah! Whoa, sorry… I uh… Oh? Hey Lyra." Syera told smiling as she recognized the mint green pony, she knew her from back in Canterlot growing up with Twilight.

"Hey Syera, sorry for bumping into you. I was lost in thought in what to get Bon Bon for her birthday since it's in a few days away." Lyra told.

"Haha, I was lost in thought too, so I guess we're both at fault for bumping into each other." Syera told as she got up and helped Lyra up as well, after releasing Lyra's hoof from her hand they both stood apart from each other then looked each other in the eyes.

"It's okay, I guess it happens to the best of us when we're in deep thought Syera. Anyway, I still need to figure out a gift for her… " Lyra told still in deep thought.

"Well… You have any idea of what she might like Lyra?" Syera asked putting a hand on her hip as she waited for Lyra to respond.

"Weeeeellll… Hmm. Oh I know she loves-" before Lyra could answer the question on what Bon Bon likes, a cry of a baby foal could be heard of in a distance.

"Huh?!" Syera's head snapped to the hill beside them as they both saw a carriage holding said foal as it tumbled down hill.

"Hold that thought Lyra!" Syera then rushed ahead to intercept the carriage. Luckily she wasn't alone to do so, Rainbow Dash caught wind of the action as well.

"Rainbow Dash, perfect timing!" Syera cheered.

"You grab the carriage before it hits the Cliff edge. I'll grab the foal." Rainbow ordered and Syera saluted with a smile as she rushed forward.

"Haven't had to use this in awhile but… Kaioken!" Syera shouted as she blazed in a red aura as she dashed forward and waited by the Cliff edge to catch the carriage. In which she soon did after Rainbow caught the foal. Everypony cheered on the bottom of the Cliff edge.

"Oh no! There's something wrong with the baby!" Rainbow suddenly said as she checked on the little foal.

"What's wrong with her?!" Syera came to Dash's side with a worried expression as she held the carriage one handedly. And which the crowd also gasped but then Rainbow smirked at Syera and winked for her to play along.

"She's not cheering for everypony's favorite heroes! Syera and Rainbow Dash!" Rainbow invoked in which the crowd then cheered their names and the baby was soon placed back in the carriage and given back to her mother.

"Thank you two so much." The mother of the filly told the two. In which Syera had given a salute to her.

"Anytime." Said the saiyan.

"No Sweat." Rainbow Dash told as she started giving autographs to fans that adore her that much. Some even wanted a few from Syera.

"There just aren't enough words in the dictionary to describe Syera and Rainbow Dash's awesomeness." Scootaloo told a bit away while standing next to Twilight and Applejack

"I can think of a few new words for Rainbow Dash. As far as Syera goes, I don't think she is used to this much attention." Twilight told a bit worried as she saw her sister practically get swarmed with autographs left and right, along with pictures taken with her and fan ponies.

"And I bet 'modest' is not one of them. I feel for Syera too though, poor Gal is probably feeling all sorts of nerves being ticked at the moment. And I bet for them saiyan folks… Is never a good thing." Applejack told as the pony's kept cheering their names left and right.

"No it's really not… but those two do indeed look kinda… Oh hay I take it back on kinda, they totally look awesome as a duo." Twilight added on.

"Let's just hope one of them doesn't take all the fame and credit, particularly Rainbow Dash." Applejack commented on a worried note.

A little while ways later in the day, Syera and Rainbow Dash did end up getting a break from all the pony's who wanted autographs or pictures taken with em.

"hmm… This hero business is sorta making me hungry Rainbow." Syera comments as she has her arms up stretching then rests her palms on the back of her head while she walks in stride with the rainbow maned Pegasus.

"yeah i'm kinda pooped too, let's grab a bite at Sugarcube Corner. If that sounds like a plan to you that is." Rainbow suggested and got a firm nod from the saiyan.

"Yeah, let's." Syera and Rainbow made a quick Dart in the air to race towards Sugarcube corner to where they hope to get a treat to satisfy their tummies. However before they could go far, another problem occured. A nearby deck was about to collapse and a few elderly pony folk were on it.

"Crapbaskets… Rainbow Dash!" Syera pointed and the Pegasus nodded while getting a serious look as they darted to the rescue. Rainbow Dash held the balcony in place for a moment as Syera took a firm yet careful hold of the elderly and got them off safely from the breaking and now decrepit deck. Which became nothing but bits and pieces once Rainbow Dash let it go.

"Never fear" Syera told as Rainbow finished off with

"your friendly neighborhood heroes are here!" Rainbow told with a smile as they were thanked by the elderly. Thank goodness they didn't want autographs that is for, Syera's sake. However they did invoke quite a crowd all of a sudden. So when Syera and Rainbow Dash heard their names being cheered, they had to give them a bit of motivation to cheer their names more.

"Rainbow Dash! Syera! Rainbow Dash! Syera!" The crowd went back and forth as Syera and Rainbow danced around a little in the air and posed looking cool as ever.

"We can't hear you!" Syera and Rainbow screamed out as the crowd cheered even louder for them.

"Rainbow Dash! Syera! Rainbow Dash! Syera! Rainbow Dash! Syera!" The course of this cheering lasted for a good moment till finally the duo left off in the distance towards Sugarcube Corner. Where their friends were waiting for them. Syera was just glad to be able to eat and relax while Rainbow was still boasting a little bit. As Syera had a strawberry and cream cheese bear claw and a glass of water and a vanilla milkshake, she and the others listened to Rainbow's stories of her and the saiyan's feats of heroism.

"And then we zoomed into the well. I knew it would be dark and dangerous, but of course Syera and I didn't let that stop us. Since Danger's my middle name. Rainbow 'Danger' Dash. And Syera I will say is super courageous in her own right. Ain't that right Syera 'Courageous' Sparkle?" Rainbow Dash asked the saiyan who had a good mouthful of her bearclaw before she chewed and swallowed her portion.

"Hell yeah, even though that's not my middle name but let's say that for now" Syera and Rainbow shared a chuckle for the moment and hoofbumped.

"Ya know… thinking back on it, we acted pretty awesomely heroic that time of the day." Rainbow Dash added as Spike was taking notes down.

"The day." Said the purple dragon as he ended off on his note.

"Awesomely heroic that day and awesomely arrogant ever since." Applejack added on as she was near Twilight and Pinkie Pie who ended up saying

"Mm-hm." In unison.

"Hey, Applejack. How'd you like to be immortalized as my friend?" Rainbow told hugging herself close the the orange apple loving mare in question which made Syera laugh a little.

"Do you even know what you just said Dashie? Haha!" Syera chuckled at how ridiculous that question sounded.

"Immorta-what?" Applejack even asked upon that word.

"Trust me Applejack, I don't think you even want that to happen to you, also Rainbow isn't me being your partner in crime in all this enough?" Syera asked.

"Well yeah, but you know it couldn't hurt to ask." Rainbow told crossing her hooves.

"Heh, but still I think we know who's the one that is 'immortalized' here Dashie" Syera told using her fingers to emphasize on the word immortalized as she then sipped on her milkshake as did Rainbow with her milkshake she had. After a few camera shots from a few fans passing through it occured to Twilight that Spike was doing something for Rainbow Dash.

"Are you taking notes?" Twilight asked the young dragon.

"Yup! I've been hoof-picked by Rainbow Dash herself, to write her autobiography!" Spike told which is then Syera looked at Rainbow with a "really" kind of look.

"I mean, I did consider doing it myself but he was really interested since he admired our awesomeness!" Rainbow explained

"Yeah only problem with that Rainbow Dash, autobiographies are supposed to be written by the pony they are about." Twilight told

"Maybe for your normal, run-of-the-mill ponies. But I'm far too busy saving lives to stop and write. That's why I hired Spike as my ghost writer." Rainbow retorted in response to Twilight, however the word "ghost" might've spooked Pinkie a little

"Ahh! Spike's a ghost!" Pinkie said running behind Syera who rolled her eyes and Shook her head.

"He's not that type of ghost Pinkie." Syera had to explain to the spastic pink pony on what a ghost writer is.

"Ohhhhhhhhh I get it, kinda." Pinkie told with a smile and squee. And to break the ice of the awkwardness Pinkie put on Dash continued

"...Anyway. Spike here writes down everything I say about me and Syera's heroic encounters. Don't you, Spike?" Rainbow asked the young purple dragon

"Don't... you... Spike. Yes, I got it all down!" spike confirmed that he indeed does take every word Rainbow says.

"This way, we can stay focused on performing acts of bravery that nopony else has the guts to perform. Yep, it takes guts. But it also takes brains. And sometimes a big lunch and a nap. Being a hero is surely not for everypony, but I'm up to the challenge." Rainbow Dash told which made Syera chuckle at one part.

"Speaking of Naps, though I surely don't always agree to them. Pinkie, mind if me and Rainbow take a snooze in your loft upstairs?" Syera asked the pink pony behind her still.

"Oh yeah sure, follow me and I'll have a bed ready for you!" She told rushing upstairs as the two followed and there a new bed made and ready for the two.

"there ya go, nice and made for a snooze. When should I wake you?" Pinkie asked.

"well… I'd say in about… Two hours? That sound good Rainbow?" Syera asked with a yawn"Yeah a two hour snooze will do me good." The Pegasus soon took up a portion of the bed as Syera toon followed after taking her boots off as well as her gloves and got comfortable.

With a yawn coming from the two, Pinkie soon closed her door and turned off the lights, allowing the two to snooze for a whole two hours or maybe more, all they know is that sometime later they were awoken for a plead for help. Though it turned out this plead for help were just eager fan pony's who wanted autographs.

"You gotta be kidding me… I was actually enjoying that nap… " Syera told yawning a little as she and Rainbow Dash had rushed to the front of Sugarcube Corner.

"heh, yeah I was too but alright… We'll just. Fill out a few." Rainbow told with a chuckle as the ponies lined up by the dozen, which made Syera facepalm.

"A few!? Ugh… Alright, let's get this over with." Syera and Rainbow Dash, one by one issued out autographs, some were pictures of the two or some just wanted their names signed on a piece of gear or gift shop apperal that they didn't even know about.

"Who the hell is issuing these piece out?" Syera asked they signed each piece.

"There you go." Rainbow Dash told after signing one fan photo of her. "Beats me, it honestly could be that fan club of ours." She explained which made Syera think and nod in agreement as they signed each item. But Syera dropped her pen when she heard a cry for help come from above in the sky. It was Cherry Blast, she had gone for a joyride in a hot-air balloon and it popped. The cause of it, who knows but is yet to be explained once she was saved...

"Help! Help!" Cherry cried as she was in free fall.

"Dammit! Come on Rainbow, let's get her!" Syera took to the skies above but waited for Dash to follow. "Come on Dash!"

"Yeah, yeah. We've got a good ten seconds to spare. Just a couple more." Rainbow said as she continued to sign more items, Syera got angry and just facepalmed again.

"Whatever don't bother, I'll handle it myself!" Syera told taking off to grab Cherry Blast out of the free-fall air balloon. Turning up the speed as she used Kaioken in a short burst to make it.

"The tension is unbearable! Will Syera make it on time?!" Spike told as Syera quickened her pace. However a shadow went overhead the said dragon as he took his notes. The saiyan took notice of it as she was just about to close the gap.

"Huh? Who is that?!" She asked as she got a nod from the masked Pony, as if she knew her and they worked together. She and this masked pony both grabbed held of Cherry Blast and safely landed her to the ground. In which surprised Syera as well when this mysterious Mare came outta nowhere.

"There, you okay Cherry Blast, that was quite a fall." Syera asked as she and the masked mare got her on her hooves.

"Yeah… Thanks Syera, you and your… Hey where is your companion?" Cherry asked in gratitude but wondered where that masked figure went.

"Holy turnips, that pony came outta nowhere!" One of the ponies said as this masked Mare made her way to the hills.

"I've never seen such bravery in all my life!" Daisy remarked.

"Yeah… But who is this Mare, I gotta find out. And thank her for the assist." Syera told crossing her arms in a smile.

"Indeed so Syera! And as it stands, Ponyville has a new hero. A mysterious mare that has done well by our fair city today. I dub this new masked hero 'The Mysterious Mare Do Well'!" Mayor Made remarked as ponies cheered far and wide as this "Mare-Do-Well" disappeared over the horizon.

"Hmm… " Syera thought to herself since this masked Mare seemed almost familiar, but couldn't put her finger on it. But she noticed Rainbow in the wreckage of the hot-air balloon. "Hey, Rainbow you okay? Looks like you arrived a second too late." Syera chuckled as she then helped Rainbow out of the tangle she was in.

"Yeah...so this… Mare Do Well, huh? Well that mare would do well to stay outta our way! Ponyville's only got room for two hero, and that hero is me and you!" Rainbow exclaimed.

"Don't get too ahead of yourself. Besides you gotta learn from this one, Cherry could've gotten hurt if I or this new hero didn't arrive on time. Plus this Mare Do Well did me a favor as a partner in crime on saving a life today. In which you failed at." Syera told the blue Pegasus.

"You're right… I'm sorry Syera." Rainbow told a bit ashamed.

"Don't be sorry Rainbow Dash, be better. In yourself and confidence to save another in help. Just don't let boasting on who you are get in the way." Syera told as the two assessed the situation on Cherry Blast and left the scene after it was all cleaned up. Soon later another incident occurred. A runaway carriage has lost control going downhill.

Syera and Rainbow Dash arrived on the scene following the carriage.

"Never fear, your friendly neighborhoods–" Rainbow Dash was Cut off by one of the passengers.

"Excuse me, uh, do you think you could skip your catchphrase and just hurry up and save us?!" The stallion cried out.

"Ugh, fine!" Rainbow told.

"Dash! I got the back, go for the front." Syera told as she grabbed the back of the carriage and put her feet down to stop the carriage. Only it was a lot harder than it looked since her boots were nearly scraping over the dirt with little traction to stop. Rainbow had little luck as she couldn't stop it barely.

"Aghhh! Whaooo!!" Rainbow flew off to the side away from the carriage.

"Rainbow Dash!" Syera cried out as her friend flew away. "Nrg… Hold on everypony! Agghhh!!" Syera as struggling to stop the carriage, not that it was heavy but the speed of it was going too fast.

"Ah!" Syera gasped when she saw that mask mare again, she jumped out in front of the carriage and put her Hind hooves out and dug her frontal ones into the ground.

"Nrrrrrrrrgggahhhh!!!" Syera screamed out as soon the carriage did come to a stop thanks to the strong hooves of Mare-do-well. "Phew… That was close." Syera told letting go of the carriage. She and Mare-do-well both got cheers from the pony's aboard. One even kissed the ground glad to be safe.

"Oh, thank you Syera, and you too Mare Do We– e…" Before he could thank the masked Mare, she was already leaving on the horizon once again.

"Heh, I couldn't have done it without her help. She's the real hero of this tale fellow citizens and tourists. Now come on, let's get you all off this Cliff." Syera told as she got the tourists and locals down off the Cliff safely along with the carriage which needed maintenance very badly on it's wheel bearings after going that fast.

"I can't believe it. Mare Do Well is stronger than me? Well, a hero is more than just muscle, and she's gonna learn that the hard way." Rainbow Dash told with a bit of aggression.

"Like you did when you couldn't help me stop that Carriage? Rainbow Dash if you did it the way Mare-do-well did that thing would've stopped. What were you trying to do?" syera asked concerned about the tactic the Pegasus pulled.

"I don't know… When I was interrupted by that one pony who didn't want to hear my awesome announcement that we're here to save them I just acted… I didn't mean to screw up the way I did…" Rainbow Dash told a bit angry since she knew she messed up again. But she knew she could do better.

"Look, if you want, we can take a break from this hero business. Plus I'm not gonna lie, it is getting dangerous." Syera suggested. But that made Rainbow Dash snap a little.

"What? Why, so you can take all the glory and fame with Mare-Do-Well? Huh?!" The Pegasus asked her saiyan friend.

"What!? That's not with this is about Rainbow, hear me out!" Syera told but was cut off by the rainbow haired friend.

"No you hear me out! I'm not stopping with this just because two acts went wrong! And I sure as hell not stopping now! So you can stop and I'll handle this on my own, without your help!" Rainbow told with an angry expression which shocked Syera.

"Rainbow Dash… You know I can't let you do this alone. You'll get hurt… " Syera said worriedly as she chased after Rainbow Dash who darted away after saying what she said. Soon later the two stumbled upon a construction site where some new buildings were gonna be placed. However something went wrong with some of the equipment and caused a structure to collapse.

"Huh?!" They both gasped at the site.

"Never fear, your friendly neighbor– Whoa!" Rainbow cheered out but almost got hit with sime debris of the structure above.

"Rainbow look out! There's more! We gotta act fast! Hold on everypony were coming!" Syera told rushing in from above and ran fast on foot to grab what construction pony's she could get. However she wasn't alone in doing so, sadly it wasn't Rainbow Dash as she was too busy Dodging the debris that fell. It was Mare-do-well again!

"Ha! Alright some backup. Well come on Rainbow Dash don't just float there, help us out!" syera shouted to her Pegasus friend who was clear of any danger and can assist. Most of the pony's got clear of the zone thanks to Syera and Mare-do-well. However, except one, Rainbow Dash swooped in at the last possible second and got him.

"Look out for the– Watch out for falling– On your left! Agh! Your other left!" He screamed as Rainbow got him and herself clear of the zone. In which it all fell down in a big dust cloud and rumble. Syera shielded herself as it did and braced for the rumble of the ground as did everypony else did.

"Nrg… " Syera grunted

"Here ya go, safe and sound." Rainbow told her only saved pony as he fained. Syera panted a little as that situation was intense.

"Well, Mare Do Well, or should I call you Mare Do Slow? You're gonna have to pick up the pace if you wanna compete with me or Syera, 'cause she and I move like lightning." Rainbow Dash boasted in which Syera retorted.

"More like you moved like a grandmare back there, the hell happened Rainbow Dash? you were stiff as a board!" Syera asked a bit angry

"Syera is right, you saved only one of us back there we thank you, but Mare-do-well, she and Syera saved all the rest of us! We owe these two our lives the most!" The one construction pony told as he and the other ponies cheered in happiness for Syera and Mare-do-well. In which Mare-do-well made her grand disappearance while Syera walked up to Rainbow Dash still disappointed.

"Okay. She's strong, fast, and somehow knows what's gonna happen ahead of time. I've gotta step up my game…" Rainbow told about to fly about but was stopped by Syera.

"More like you need to take a break or stop all together here Rainbow, this all here could've ended very badly!" Syera told pointing at the construction site and saw how many ponies could have been killed or severely injured.

"I know! You think I don't know that Syera… And no, I'm not gonna stop, I will show everypony that I am on top of this hero business and will remain there, not some pony playing dress-up! And not even you.. " Rainbow told flying off fast. This left Syera in even more shock and just anger toward the Pegasus that she isn't learning at all. She thinks it's a game where ponies' lives are at stake. In which the saiyan sighed and just Shook her head with a palm on her forehead. It was then she felt a nudge on her side and she opened her eyes and saw it was the masked mare as she looked over to her right side.

"Huh? Mare-do-well?" Syera asked a bit confused but the pony then motioned Syera to follow her, in which the saiyan ended up doing she wondered what was about to happen, is she about to find out who this mare is or something deeper like how many powers does this masked hero possesses, since even the saiyan who is following said mare, is dearly impressed by these abilities.

However after following the mare, she had gotten out of sight of the Saiyan's eyes but Syera still pressed on while following her energy, funny enough it felt familiar but she wasn't certain of it since that would be… Quite ironic. Syera soon came across the Ponyville dam, funny enough Rainbow Dash was there too.

"Hey Syera!" Rainbow called from above as she hovered near the saiyan. "What are you doing here?" She asked

"Funny, I was about to ask you the same thing, weird… I was following Mare-do-well and… " before Syera said more, Rainbow Dash gasped in a surprise fashion.

"You were following her too!?" Rainbow asked "cause I was too and I came across the dam and… Wait… You hear that?" Rainbow asked as she looked over at the base of the dam, only to see it was leaking water.

"Oh no! If the dam breaks, the whole town will be flooded!" Syera shrieked in shocked as she didn't know what to do at this very moment about it.

"Looks like Ponyville needs a hero! Easy peasy!" Rainbow shouted as she dashed over to the crack in the dam's wall. Plugging it with her hoof. Which may not last long.

"Rainbow Dash wait!" Syera told but it was too late as the dam started to leak from more than one spot.
[stone cracking]

"Relax Syera, my game is officially back on. If only somepony were here to pat me on the back. Heh, Syera mind patting me on the– gah!!" Before Rainbow Dash could react, the entire Dam bursted before them.

"Rainbow Dash!" Syera then leaped into the roaring rushing water to say her friend.

"Help!" The blue pegasus shrieked. Spitting a fish or two out of her mouth, as she splashed around the rushing water.

"I gotcha! Hold on, I see a log sticking out there!" Syera grabbed hold of the log sticking out and hung herself around it with her two arms with Rainbow Dash on her back.

"Phew… Rainbow what were you thinking?! It would have been easier if we warned to town of a flash flood, or better yet, I could've redirected the water… Shame I don't think my magic is strong enough to fix the dam… Huh?" Syera looked up and saw it was Mare Do Well holding the log for them.

"You?! I suppose you want us to thank–" Rainbow was shut down mid sentence when Mare Do Well took her hat off and exposed a… Horn? She's pretty strong for a Unicorn to do the things she's done before it seems.

"You gotta be kidding me…" Rainbow spoke as the dam was now fixed with the magic of the masked pony.

"Wow, speaking of fixing the dam, that's impressive." Syera told as she and Rainbow climbed to the edge of the river. Rainbow shook herself off while Syera flared her aura to dry off.

"Hmph!" Syera grunted as she did, looking up at the cheering pony's as Mare Do Well waved to them goodbye as she fixed the dam all the way as if it were new.

"Lemme get this straight. She's strong, she's agile, and she's magic? Ughhh! How do I compete with that?!" Rainbow Dash exhorted as she flopped on the ground from Mare's attributes.

"Well at least she can't do one thing… " Syera told crossing her arms.

"Which is what?" Rainbow asked.

"She can't… Fly… Well, call me wrong on that one" Syera chuckled as she witnessed along with Rainbow on the ground of Made Do Well flying away. However that aroused suspicion from Syera herself considering all these abilities from one pony, it didn't seem to add up since she's seen some of these abilities before. The strong density of the Hind hooves reminded Syera of somepony with exactly that kind of leg power, not to mention the aura and energy that was given off when she noticed Made Do Well's magic and how her now revealed flight pattern looks like.

"Oh, for the love of Pete!" Rainbow shouted which broke Syera's train of thought. But she Shook it off since it couldn't be a mere coincidence on her powers being exactly of the three ponies she knew of.

"Hmm… That reminds me. I'm kinda hungry, you wanna grab something to eat Rainbow Dash?" Syera asked her Pegasus friend.

"Eh, sure. Gives me a bit of time to think this through. Dang Mare Do Well… Stealing my spotlight… Like what the fudge man!"

"Listen, Rainbow, hush. We will have more time to sort this out once we have a bite to eat. Plus I think I have an idea, Mare-Do-Well is most likely gonna have a ceremony where she recieves a metal most likely for saving the town on more than one occasion. I think that is a good time to find out who she really is." Syera told as they approached Sugarcube corner.

"Right, but it seems like we gotta plan this one out accordingly so we don't screw it up." rainbow told back.

"Exactly, now let's get a treat. Plus I think our friends our inside. I can sense them." Syera told as they walked in, Rainbow took a seat on the stairs leading up to Pinkie's loft. Twilight and Fluttershy were at a table, Applejack was getting some treats at a table, Syera followed suite with her as she couldn't wait to Chow down on some. Rarity had poured herself some Tea as they talked about Mare Do Well. Which seemed like a topic that Rainbow Dash wasn't too fond of hearing right now.

"Gotta hand it to the girl, that Mare Do Well sure can pull off some pretty heroic feats." Applejack remarked.

"Yeah, I wonder who trained her legs to be that strong. Must take a lot of hardwork to buck a fully loaded cart full of ponies like that." Syera told which kinda made Applejack flinch a little but she shrugged it off. Strange that she would.

"Yes indeed so, I most was impressed by that spell she used to fix the dam. Seems like something like that would take quite a bit of study." Twilight added onto the conversation.

"Study and training I will have to say since not every unicorn can lift that many objects at once. Funny, I've only ever seen you be able to do such a feat Twilight, you sure you didn't give her any pointers?" Syera asked with a smirk which made the two laugh it off jokingly.

"Hehe, oh no. But it would be an honor if I did offer her some super good advice on such a spell." Twilight replied to such a question even though it was told jokingly. Rainbow Dash on the other hand mumbled and growled at the mention of Mare's name.

"She really cares about everypony's safety." Fluttershy added.

"That I can agree on, her clothes aren't half bad either. She does have style and grace after all." Syera told as she stretched and fixed her Gi.

"Oh absolutely, her costume, It is to die for! If you ask me she's a hero of fashion!" Rarity told before sipping her Tea.

"And she's modest and humble. She lets her actions speak for themselves. Gotta admire that." Applejack added on.

"Sometimes it does help to be the ultimate silent type. That I can agree on when it comes to admiring her on that remark." Syera finished on that comment which really set off Rainbow Dash

"I don't have to admire that! I don't think she's all that great!" She shouted in which Spike wrote down something completely opposite to that.

"She's... great." He said writing that down, as a Ghost Writer, he recorded all of what she is saying.

"I didn't say that." Rainbow told getting in Spike's face.

"Sounds like somepony's jealous." Twilight remarked

"Who, me?" Rainbow Dash asked as she tried to brush it off to make it seem like she wasn't.

"Rainbow Dash is jealous." Spike continued to write down how she really felt. Which was his job after all.

"Don't write that, Spike!" In turn after saying that, everypony there laughed and chuckled at the blue pegasus

"Correction: Rainbow Dash is very jealous." spike wrote down.

"Alright, Spike, I think you got it all down there." Syera told pushing his paper and pencil down into this trench coat so he'd stop writing.

"Fine! Laugh all you want, but I'll be the one laughing when I prove to you all that I'm just as good– no, that I'm a better hero than Mare Do Well!" With that, Rainbow Dash took off, everypony shrugged and just was wondering what she even meant.

"Well… that just happened. I think I'm gonna get some training in Gals, I'll see you later." Syera told but all of sudden she was stopped by Twilight.

"Actually, Syera can you do us a favor please?" Twilight asked her sister.

"Hmm? What's up?" Syera asked back.

"Your training regime, mind extending it for another hour than usual?" Twilight asked which kinda confused the Saiyan.

"Uh okay… What for?" Syera asked her sister in question.

"Oh, you'll see. Anyway, good luck, let me know if you make any progress." Twilight told her sister since she has an entire catalog on Saiyan analogy that she is working on to study her Sister's power and growth to see how Saiyans work in terms of power, cognition as well as training habits in what makes them stronger each time they do decide to train. She has a long in regards to their eating habits as well. With that request, Syera was off to the outskirts to her training ground, the old part of Sweet Apple Acres that isn't used anymore.

"Alright, here it goes… Ha!" She powered up and did some exercises in her Kaioken state. "Kaioken, times ten!" She shouted as the Saiyan bolted foward to a training dummy in which she hit a few times and then smack it into the air.

"Ready set go!" She shouted as she caught up to it, punched and kicked it a few more times sending it off in another direction.

"More power! Hrg!" she amped it up as she turned off Kaioken and in favor of Super Saiyan 2. She made quick use out of transforming into that stage rather than her base Super Saiyan form. Rushing ahead now she delivered the final blow.

"Hrg! This is for Celestia! Super…. Celestial… Blast!" She shouted as she combined the blast with instant transmission, appearing behind the falling dummy and blasting it to pieces, the beam went into the outer reaches of space as it broke the atmosphere of the planet. Soon losing it's energy as it broke orbit.

"Phew… Augh… " She fell over as she overdid it a little bit and turned out of Super Saiyan 2.

"Darn it, I can barely keep hold of that Transformation… Uses too much power still. Bleh…" Syera slowly rose up from the ground.

"But that shouldn't stop me from trying, maybe I should visit King Kai's place, he might have a higher training regime than this one I can try out. But I'd be gone for weeks… Months even, I don't want to leave unless I really think I need to progress further… Hmm.. Though, I am working with 20 ton weights at the moment. Hmm… Sad thing is even in my base form they feel light! Hehe…" Syera chuckled as she then started doing some cardio exercises along with some jogging laps across the open field.

"Man, I'm only now breaking a sweat, that means I'm getting somewhere. Haha!" She told as she then jumped across a small chasm that was near the area, only she saw something out of the corner of her eye Dart at her. She dodged of course but it was really sudden. "Whoa what the-!?" She skidded to the otherside of the chasm. Only to be met with…

"Huh? Mare-Do-Well?" Syera asked herself with a bit of a shocked expression and a bit of a frown. Before Syera could ask further, the masked pony darted from side to side with extremely fast speed. Only thing was Syera was so distracted it left her open. To the point where two hooves collided with her stomach.

"Aoughh!!!" Syera barely saw it coming only to be hit again, spinning this time in a corkscrew fashion and then sent flying with another kick from both hooves from the masked mare! Colliding and driving through multiple dead trees with a lot of force.

"Agh! Nrg! Aghh!!" Syera halted herself, holding her stomach as that buck was very intense, considering she wasn't ready. She looked under her shirt as she pulled it up, two distinct hoof prints were left on her belly, they bruised her abs a little bit. Luckily she was able to take such abuse.

"Agh.. Hey that hurt!" She told shouting as the Mare rushed her again, only this time Syera just dodged out of the way and to retort with one of her own kicks to the back of the mare's Hind quarters, sending her flying and hitting a tree. Creating a big dust cloud in the process.

"Hrm… What is going on?" Syera readied herself for the unknown, as from out of the dust cloud, Mare-Do-Well came right back, the two trading punches, kicks, any kind of blow imaginable as they traded hits from each other none stop. Until Syera turned it up a little as she felt a bit under classed.

"Alright! You wanna play it this way huh? Let's go then! Kaioken! Yeah!" She rushed the masked mare with a few heavy blows it seemed this mare was strong than she looked as Syera collided with the Mare, nearly matching blow after blow with fist and hooves clashing. It was so intense the ground beneath them cracked and make a pretty big pot hole that was a perfect circle and dug at least three feet into the earth below them. Soon they broke the clash as they jumped out the hole.

"Hmm… Funny, you remind me of how intense it can get with either Pinkie Pie or Applejack. You didn't happen to see how fast and how hard those two can hit did you?" Syera smirked as she enjoyed this challenge by the masked mare, whom ever she claimed to be was a complete mystery. Though she was curious to the point of unmasking this opponent to put a mugshot to such an amazing contender.

"Alright, since I can tell you're not much of a talker, I am rather curious of who you actually are. But I am certain you won't take that mask off just by me asking nicely. Heh, so let's take it up a notch. Haaaaaaaaaaa!" with a flash of golden light, Syera was now a full blown Super Saiyan. "You ready? Let's go!" Syera rushed the mare with intent on unmasking her. With a blinding rush forward, she striked the made one good time, however wasn't so lucky as two hooves went for the Saiyan's side and force her back and she hit a tree behind her.

"Aough! Hrg…" As she hit the tree she dropped to a knee. "Darn… I must've exhorted myself a bit more than intended… Hmm, maybe I might have try a harder training regime at some point or another, cause I need to master Super Saiyan 2 before I can possibly take it further." Syera mumbled to herself before taking a deep breath and standing up.

"hm, well. Thanks for the surprise visit Mare-Do-Well but I think I'm calling it for today's training, funny how Twilight somehow convinced you to train with me. I should thank her next time I see her." Syera waved good-bye as Mare-Do-Well did the same and they left the area. However Syera couldn't help but think about her training today, it seemed much different, not cause of Mare-Do-Well but how she fought, her style, her speed, erratic nature. It seemed all like her friends combined into one. It could be mere coincidence or just very lucky dumb luck on Mare-Do-Well's part. "I still wanna find out who she is… " Syera told as she glided over the town, however before she went back to the library to get changed and possibly a bath, she noticed Rainbow Dash on a dark rain cloud, she seemed to be in a very sulking mood. Syera took a listen to Rainbow Dash's words before speaking her own.

"All anypony talks about is Mare Do Well this and Mare Do Well that! What about me? How could everypony forget about me so easily? I mean... have I changed? Same sleek body. Same flowing mane. Same spectacular hooves." Rainbow Dash looked over herself back and forth and wondered what happened, but she didn't seem any different than from before. This is where Syera chimed in.

"Hahaha, no way, you're still as awesome as ever Rainbow Dash. Now come on, what makes you think you've changed? You haven't seem to change at all to me at least, ever since we met. Plus I doubt anypony could forget your heroic feats." Syera told crossing her arms as she laid next to Rainbow Dash on the cloud.

"But... then... why am I all alone? I hate being all alone…" Rainbow sounded very sad as then Syera pulled her close to a hug. In which Rainbow Dash hugged back and whimpered a little bit.

"Trust me, you're not alone what so ever Dashie, come on now, if you were alone you think me and the others would not be there by yourself to support you? I don't think so, I as well as the others got your back to the end of our days. So don't even think for a second you're alone." Syera stroked Rainbow's mane, comforting her friend smiling brightly.

"Hm, you're right. Thanks Syera, I needed that." Rainbow Dash nuzzled her Saiyan friend, and then noticed how beat up she looked. "whoa, I assume your Training today was intense? What happened?"

"haha, yeah… About my training today. I did come to a conclusion but I'm not sure when I'll follow through with it. But I'm thinking of leaving Equestria as a whole for a new Training regime. To become even stronger than I am now. I can feel much more in me but what I'm doing now isn't cutting it… " Syera told breaking the news.

"L… Leaving!? Are you sure… We wouldn't see you for how long… But… Syera… " Rainbow was lost for words at the moment. But smiled softly, shedding a tear. "I understand, considering threats like Nightmare Moon and Discord, no wonder you'd train so hard."

"Yeah, though it's not only about testing myself in a fight and meeting strong opposition, but it's for protecting you, and the others, Equestria as a whole for that matter honestly." Syera told softly. "But I'm not going to right away, I'm waiting for the right time to make such a move. But I thought I'd let you know Rainbow." Syera told letting go of the Blue Pegasus.

"Anyway, that's not the only thing I've come to know in my Training, I had an unexpected training partner come and interrupt my session actually. I'll let you take a guess on who." Syera told crossing her arms.

"Who? Mare Do Well? Cause that seems to be the topic of conversation all around Ponyville!" Rainbow Dash said in an annoyed tone of voice.

"Yes actually" Syera told as she stretched.

"Wait really!? And she did this to you?!" Rainbow Dash asked surprised, as she looked at how tattered and a bit scuffed Syera was.

"Yeah.. She is pretty tough I will admit… But something just seems… off about her. Like I know her fighting style and everything… " Syera put her thumb and index to her chin as she thought about the fight that she and Mare Do Well had.

"Know her fighting style, what was it like exactly?" Rainbow asked.

"Well…. It was kinda like… " before Syera could explain, they heard a call from down below from a certain young filly they both knew.

"Hey, Rainbow Dash! Syera!" It was Scootaloo calling from below. Syera and Rainbow Dash looked down before dropping down to meet the young Crusader.

"Hey Squirt." Rainbow Dash had greeted the young filly with a small noogie to ruffle her mane.

"Hey Scootaloo, what brings you all the way out here?" Syera asked crossing her arms as she stood in front of Rainbow Dash and the young filly.

"To invite you to join us! We're heading off to the thank you parade for Ponyville's greatest hero, Mare Do Well!" Scootaloo explained.

"Oh? Is that so?" Syera asked in a bit of a surprise. When is it?

"It's happening soon within the next hour actually. At town hall." Scootaloo explained.

"No! No way!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed but it was then Syera pulled the blue Pegasus aside.

"Mind giving us a second Scootaloo?" Syera told as she huddled with Rainbow off to the side. Scootaloo nodded and just waited with a smile.

"Rainbow, remember the plan we talked about earlier? This could be our chance!" Syera told smirking happily as they talked quietly away from Scootaloo

"You're right… We can finally unmask this mare. Alright we'll go to it." Rainbow Dash told back happily and soon the two turned their attention to Scootaloo.

"We'll join you at the ceremony shortly, I have to make a Pitstop at the library to get cleaned and changed first. We'll see you there Scootaloo"

"Oh, okay. See you later then." Scootaloo told as she then began to trot in the other direction.

"Actually wait up Squirt! I'll join ya, Syera I'll save you a spot for when you show up okay!" Rainbow Dash told with a wink.

"Yeah, okay that sounds good. I won't be long, see you two there!" Syera waved good-bye to Scootaloo and Rainbow Dash as she flew her way to the Library where she took a quick shower to clean off all the dirt and sweat off her body. After doing so, she took a healing remedy that fixed her body, healing her wounds and such else. Grabbing a freshly new Gi, gloves and boots. She got out of the Library to meet the others in the crowd for Mare Do Well's hero parade.

Once in the crowd next to Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo, Syera and them waited for Mayor Mare to announce her speech on the Parade, which was now happening.

"Welcome to Ponyville's first, but surely not last, thank you parade, in honor of our city's greatest hero, the mysterious Mare Do Well!" With that said, Mare Do Well came onto the stage behind the curtains. Everypony cheering, only to be stopped by Syera and Rainbow Dash's rebuttal to the heroic nature of Mare Do Well.

"The mysterious Mare Do Well, huh?" Rainbow walked through the crowd along with Syera.

"Yeah, I gotta say you do seem very strong and yet familiar to me. So… " Syera then paused and a whirl of wind surrounded Syera as she then powered up to Super Saiyan.

"It's time to find out who you really are, Mare Do Well!" Syera had rushed and knocked Made Do Well off the stage, the ponies gasping in awe it all happened. "Ready set go!" Syera shouted as she gave chase along with Rainbow Dash.

The chase from Corridor to Corridor, lane to lane, alleyway to alleyway. It seemed that it was quite fast paced. However, it seemed very weird. Syera knew something was off.

"Rainbow wait a second." She halted the blue Pegasus who was behind her. After looking around, she noticed the scattered movements of Made Do Well, she wasn't fast at all. But it was the fact that she appeared so by being in more places at once. Once of them paused to whistle at them.

"What the hay?" Rainbow gasped, which is when Syera nodded for her to follow that decoy. Syera used Instant Transmission to Hone in on the others.

"Found you!" Syera had back handed one of the Masked Mares, grabbing them by the cape as she then tied it up. Tossing it in the Alley way.

"Grrr... I got you now!" Rainbow Dash leaped from a rooftop and tackled one from Behind Syera that she didn't see that was gonna sneak attack her.

"Hmm, nice. Now… As there are more than one as I suspected. Who are they… ?" Syera asked.

"Let's find out! Alright, Miss Mysterious! Mystery... solved!?" Rainbow Dash gasped as she pulled off the mask, it revealed somepony they both didn't expect.
"P-p-p-p- Pinkie?! Whudda- hud-d-duh- hud-d-duh- huh?!" Syera gasped as well and soon tool off the mask of the mare she had taken down who tried to break her grasp.

"Hm… " she took it off and then stood back with the mask in her grasp. "No… Way… Applejack?!" Soon the two others seen before in costume came and revealed themselves as Twilight and Fluttershy.

"There were three of you?!" Rainbow Asked.

"Four Rainbow Dash, four of them… And I had speculation but this… I had to know for sure since my sense of certainty was starting to wear thin. But to think you four actually did all this." Syera told as she powered down to her base form.

"Yup, we all played Mare Do Well at different times." Twilight added as Syera helped Applejack on her hooves.

"I stopped the carriage bus with these babies, Bucky McGillicuddy and Kicks McGee." Syera chuckled at the nicknames Applejack told about em.

"Yeah… And you nailed me with both of them earlier AJ… If you wanted to spare I wouldn't have mind. Same goes for you Pinkie." Syera told smirking at the nervous pink pony who laughed it all.

"Hehe, yup it's true, me and Applejack thought Made Do Well would have an interesting time sparing with you. And indeedly so I saved those construction workers with my Pinkie Sense." Pinkie told as her tail started twitching and she moved Rainbow Dash out of the way of a falling flower pot. In which everypony looked up.

"Sorry!" Shouted Cherry Berry as she had accidentally tipped her flower pot over the window sill.

"It's alright." Pinkie told smiling.

"And I used my magic to fix the dam. Glad to see you payed attention to such detail and skill Sis." Twilight told Syera.

"Yeah… You used the same spell multiple times before. Like the time when that rock that Rarity thought was a Diamond went through the Library that time. You fixed it right up, along with the times I might've shot one too many Ki blasts and different directions." Syera chuckled nervously at that.

"Ooh, ooh! And I did the flyby afterwards." Fluttershy added "I hope it was very heroic to look at."

"It was, honestly your Flight Pattern is quite noticeable since I have flown with you a couple of times to remember it. Was also another dead give-away that I thought of you when you did so." Syera remarked crossing her arms. Turning to Rarity who had spoke next.

"I made the costumes. Fabulous if I do say so myself! And Syera dear, we are to not speak of that one such an atrocity ever… " Rarity told with a growl towards the saiyan.

"I mean can you blame me, looking back at it was quite hilarious honestly." Syera added and Rainbow walked away a bit confused.

"I don't understand. Why? Why did you all do this?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Yeah I gotta ask why too, I get being a hero is a big deal and all, but… you don't want me or Rainbow Dash to be the only heroes?"

"Of course we want you both to be heroes. Though, it seemed to get a little outta hoof a few times with you two. I could see pressure being built up on you Syera, I just wanted you to be safe and level minded about it." Twilight Sparkle spoke with concern to Syera, she had really been looking on to her sister's mental state and it didn't seem healthy to keep on doing what she was doing since all that attention on them seemed to have an effect. Syera wasn't very good with crowds after all surprisingly.

"Yeah… You're right on that. It was kinda weird at times, plus Rainbow Dash boasting up and down with signing stuff was kinda too much." Syera admitted in turn which Applejack added.

"Yeah, a real hero doesn't brag Rainbow Dash, take note from Syera, she doesn't. And I'm sure during some of them stunts ya'll pulled. She must've gotten in your tail feathers about how reckless ya been." Applejack told with a wink. In which Rainbow Dash responded

"Yes… At first it was fun, but the last few times like the Construction place… It was bad. The Dam was definitely the last straw, heck Syera came in after me to help me." Rainbow Dash said turning her attention to Syera. "I thank you for that by the way."

"Anytime, the real hero though was Twilight when she held that log out for us when we were in the roaring water, which in turn let us get out of it." Syera told which gave her sudden chills. "Erg… That was very scary, I thought I was gonna lose you Rainbow… " Syera shared a hug with Rainbow Dash for a brief moment in which all the ponies there awed at them sharing a tender moment.

"I'm still here right? That's all that matters. plus I have to admit..., I did start to at times brag a little." Rainbow spoke which made all the rest there snap at her as they all shouted

"A little?!" With glaring looks of disapproval.

"Okay… Okay, a lot. I admit a whole lot I did." Rainbow spoke chuckling a little as she broke the hug with Syera.

"Celebrating your accomplishments is natural. But…" Twilight had paused as Applejack came with other words to add

"...Rubbin' them in everypony's face is not." The country mare put out, in which Pinkie gave her two sense in as well.

"Yeah, the only thing that should be rubbed in anypony's face is chocolate cake." Pinkie told, licking her lips and drooling a little bit at the mention of such a delicate treat.

"I think we're getting off topic here." Applejack told.

"Hehe, I think what they're trying to say is, it's great to be really good at something Dash, but it's important to act with the respect and prosperity of others. In short, you can't do one deed and expect others to treat you highly like you're the new filly on the block who just got their cutie mark." Syera told Rainbow as she kneeled down on a knee from the hug they shared not long ago.

"Ohhhh. That makes loads more sense. Yeah. You're right. And I guess I should've also acted with a more clear state of mind, especially to those outshine me. Like Mare Do Well…" Rainbow Dash told which made her and Syera chuckle.

"Yeah, even though they turned out to be our friends who taught us, well mainly you Dash the real ways of being a hero." Syera added as she stood up.

"Sounds like you've both got letters to write to Princess Celestia." Twilight had added.

"Already got em covered. As their ghost writer, I've already penned a letter to the Princess for them." Spike added on as she still wore his fedora and trenchcoat.

"Really? We Appreciate that Spike but… " Syera looked at Rainbow Dash and nodded in agreement as the blue Pegasus herself spoke.

"I think we agree that the two of us really wanna write this letter ourselves." Rainbow had told the little purple dragon.

"Aww, come on, I wrote the whole thing already!" Spike had told in a sad yet disappointed tone.

"Oh really? Well, shoot away Spike." Syera told

"Yeah, let's hear it. Take it away Spike" Rainbow had added on, as Spike then began to read the letter. Clearing his throat, he began to speak.

"Eh-hem… Dear Princess Cel-" however he was cut off when Rainbow Dash shouted something to scare him.

"Look out! It's a real ghost!" She told pointed as Spike and Pinkie Pie ran off screaming. Twilight hovered a parchment to Rainbow Dash smiling. Same with Syera.

"Hold that for me Sis, I have something I wanna finish first." Syera told smirking at Applejack. "Hey AJ, how about coming at me one on one with "Bucky McGillicuddy and Kicks McGee"?" Syera got in a fighting pose. In which Applejack had chuckled and smiled at her.

"Hay yeah! I thought you'd never ask considering I did get you that one time by surprise. And I'm surprised you did tank them both pretty well honestly." Applejack tapped her hoof on the ground and got ready.

As the two got in a bit of a rumble, Rainbow Dash, Twilight and Rarity witnessed it to the very end, and it was a sight to be reckoned with. Both sides were met with even amount of blows dealt to one another.

"Oh wow, I'm amazed Applejack, guessing with all the things we've done ever since Nightmare Moon and Discord… You're skills in how you deal blows with Bucky and Kicks have gotten stronger. Much stronger, and that's what I love to see." Syera told smiling and panting.

"Yeah, ah had to make sure I was and still am in tip top shape for what's ta come ahead of us ya know. Can't slack off when who knows what's coming along with the work on the farm, it's gotta be done somehow. We should spare more often ya know?" Applejack chuckled. "Or, maybe we can train a whole other way like getting a little bit of competition in at Sweet Apple Acres." Applejack suggested.

"I like the sound of that, sure. I'm down for it all." Syera told agreeing to such an offer.

As this chapter in the daily life of Syera and her friends come to a close, Syera still ponders in the back of her mind of what is really to come. Will it be filled with more heroes like Mare-Do-Well? Or more hero figures to look up to when in the face of evil?

Two friends found out the true meaning of being heroes, mainly Rainbow Dash.

Who found out that being heroic is more than about boasting and signing autographs as well as being the main event of attraction among the pony folk.

As the events take forth in Ponyville now, what awaits our Saiyan Heroine?

Find out, now!

Cue Intro Music

"A Play in Canterlot, The Tale of Hearth's warming begins!"

The seasons began to change and summer had turned to fall, and now fall became summer. It would be the time of the year that Hearth's Warming was upon everypony throughout the Equestria nation.

And this, would mark the first Hearth's Warming Syera and Twilight Sparkle would spend up in Canterlot with their friends doing the most cherished event of all the year, a play showcasing the beginning of Equestria as they know and love today, as the tale of Hearth's Warming began.

The train the seven friends boarded was on a polar express to Canterlot. Syera stared out the window as she took her seat seeing the snowy plains drift by and small tundras mark the way up the mountain as they traverse through and over the mountain to reach the Castle Town capital of Equestria, Canterlot.

"Home… " Syera whispered to herself and Twilight looked over at the Saiyan and tilted her head.

"What was that Sis?" Twilight had asked.

"We're going home, for Hearth's Warming this year. And I'm so glad we have the chance to do so with our new friends." Syera told smiling back at her sister.

"Yeah, you're right. With our friends, I am so glad to have met them just as much as you Syera." Twilight told as she had looked over a book as the train ran it's course.

"Hmm, I can smell the Coco now from the local cafe up there already." Syera told chuckling to herself.

"Did somepony say Coco!? Mmm… " Pinkie came out from behind the two as Syera had mentioned the sweet but hot chocolate beverage.

"Yes indeed Pinkie, the Coco is to live for up there. We have to get ourselves a cup of it. Especially with some creamer, and a bunch of marshmallows. It's so bad for my diet but I love it this time of year." Syera told, making her hands into fists as she craved the delectable beverage.

"Diet? As much as you eat, I don't think you need to worry about slimming down anytime Syera." Pinkie told chuckling as she patted her friend on the chest.

"You kidding? Syera is easily the most athletic out of most of us. Except yours truly!" Rainbow Dash told boasting a little bit over her sleek nature.

"If you're asking for 'nother iron pony contest Rainbow Dash ah am right here waitin'." Applejack smirked as she bumped her hooves together and the too stared at each other seriously for a moment before laughing softly as did the others.

"I'd love to see one of those between you two. But we're almost there. Let's sit back and enjoy the rest of the ride shall we?" Syera asked as the six ponies nodded in agreement.

"Jeez, is it nearly over already… " Spike told with a bit of a yawn afterward then spoke again "I swear train rides nearly always put me to sleep but to think were nearly there?" He spoke in a groggy tone.

"Don't worry Spike, We'll wake you when we get there." Twilight spoke softly to him as he slept once again in his seat in front of Syera and Twilight, and in the back of Rarity and Applejack.

"We're getting closer" Twilight spoke as they had passed to underground railway tunnels, which marked that they are three/fourths in the ride to Canterlot from Ponyville. Indeed the train was ahead of schedule.

"Oh, I do hope I am quite festive enough for this trip to Canterlot." Rarity spoke worriedly.

"Come on now Rarity, festive does not even begin with how you look now, besides. I think you fit the memo when you introduced all of us to Fancy Pants and his hoity toity upper class ponyfolk friends up in Canterlot a couple weeks back during me and Twilight's birthday. I still love the outfits you made for us." Syera told smiling as Rarity looked back.

"Why I am glad to hear that Syera dear, and honestly I was quite afraid of how they'd react to you all. Especially you Syera, you aren't exactly well… Like the rest of us ponies after all. But you are quite the beloved sight to behold." Rarity told complimenting the looks and vibe that her Saiyan friend gives off.

"You really think so?" Syera asked with a bit of a non-confident tone as she twiddled her thumbs.

"I know so darling, don't ever think otherwise cause I do know Fancy Pants was indeed honored to meet you since you're Equestria's Saiyan after all. A fine example of what your race can hold I assume as much, from how great and powerful you are, as well as how you take such responsibility in use of such power." Rarity told. This is when Fluttershy spoke up.

"Yet you're so gentle Syera that you'd wouldn't even hurt a butterfly, even if they'd tried to make fun of you." Fluttershy told. "I just wish I was as lucky as you." She told a bit sadden. Syera reached across and hugged her shy friend.

"Believe me Fluttershy, I wasn't always this calm and collected. I was made fun of too back in times when me and Twilight were young in Canterlot. I felt I didn't fit in, that I was just a monkey that seemed to belong in a zoo and instead of school. However out of all of those who tried to push me down. It was Twilight, my dear sister, father, mother and our older brother Shining Armor. Who had kept me afloat." Syera paused to catch her breath as a few tears came out as she then recalled.

"It all came to me when Hearth's Warming came. To be with family, those who actually cared about me. Even all of you now, I feel that same warmth when I was young and felt warm next to Twilight as either I was held by our mother, or father. Sometimes even our brother would hold me close when I felt sad and alone." Syera paused but before she could say another word, all six of the pony's had hugged the Saiyan in a tight loving embrace and awed in comfort of their Saiyan friend.

"You're not alone Syera." Applejack told her as she pat her on the back in the group hug.

"Not by a long shot!" Pinkie told as she embraced her more.

"And, you're not so different from all of us. You feel emotions just like us." Fluttershy told.

"You're tough like us!" Rainbow Dash told with a serious expression as she smiled.

"And, you don't take anypony or anything for granted dear, so you definitely are not selfish at all for what you have." Rarity spoke softly.

"And most importantly, we, especially I. Wouldn't want to have you any other way Syera." Twilight had spoke as she kissed her sister on the cheek.

Syera weeped lightly but smiled as she had wiped away her tears and hugged them all back. "I love you girls, thank you for being here by my side. Up to now and I hope forever till the end of our days." Syera told softly, the touching moment lasted pretty long, long enough till the train had arrived at their destination. The train whistle sounded and the conductor sounded off that Canterlot was the stop for this part of the line. Everypony had grabbed their belongings and strolled the streets of Canterlot, a bit chilly in the air but the heaters around town made the place nice and cozy, even for those who are outside.

"Shall we take the scenic route around as we head for the castle girls?" Syera had asked which they did indeed agree upon. As they strolled the winter wonderland that was indeed Canterlot, it was a sight for sore eyes to be reckoned with.

"Oh, isn't Canterlot wonderful this time of year?" Twilight had asked in which the group hummed in agreement with

"Yeah, I wish it was Hearth's Warming Eve every day." Rainbow Dash complimented smiling.

"I wouldn't mind that for a little while, but I can only stand to snow but for so long." Syera told as the group laughed a little.

"Woo-wee, there's so much to look at! I feel like my eyes are gonna pop right out of my head!" Applejack told as she took in the streets and roads of the Canterlot landscape as the snow came down slowly but surely.

"I have an idea, let's play 'I spy with my little eye' as we walk!" Twilight suggested and so everypony there agreed upon it.

"Alright, sounds fun! Do us the honors Twilight and kick it off." Syera told smiling as she crossed her arms as they walked.

"I spy... an eight-foot candy cane." Twilight sounded off as she spotted one.

"I spy a snowpony!" Rainbow shouted out as there was one as they walked by.

"I spy somepony eating a gingerbread house…!" Pinkie Pie told as she had rushed in a bakery, bought a gingerbread house since when she came out, a cha ching from a cash register chimed and she ate the whole thing. "And its me!" She smiled licking her lips and everypony there laughed.

"Hey, I spy a Super Saiyan dashing through the snow!" Syera told as she dashed away quickly, turning up the heat as she became a Super Saiyan. Moving through the snow around her friends and they cheered and laughed as they watched their Saiyan friend move with incredible speed though so much powdery white flakes.

Sometime later near the evening, Syera and Twilight and the others had settled in a castle Spire they were hosted by the Princesses themselves to stay in. Soon they had gone to a backstage dressing room in the Canterlot theater close by and started getting ready for the mane event to take place. Something they had practiced and rehearsed for weeks to come to them and today was the day. One Hearth's Warming Eve that their tale would be told.

"I still can't believe that Princess Celestia chose us to put on the most important play of the season! Do you guys know what an honor this is? For all of us?" Twilight Sparkle had spoken as they all got ready to get into character.

"Yeah, you've been going on about this for weeks sis, if anything I'd say we deserve it, to give these ponies a good show and give them an event they will not forget and will continue to hold up such tradition with their children. It is quite the honor for all of us." Syera told as she had been picked as one of the biggest star roles next to everypony else. The traveler that would bring wisdom through the lands and help shape Equestria to what it is now. She had blue and red robes to wear as well as boots and long sleeved gloves and a hood to wear with it all.

"Oh, I wish she hadn't honored me quite so much... I can't go onstage! I don't want everypony looking at me!" Fluttershy told as she had her outfit on, she was going to be Private Pansy, the second in command to Commander Hurricane. Rainbow Dash's character.

"Fluttershy, darling, there's nothing to feel nervous about." Rarity had told as she had gotten into character as well, she would play the role of the Daughter of the King of Unicorns at the time, Princess Platinum. With Twilight Sparkle playing the role of as her assistant, Clover the Clever.

"No?" Fluttershy asked softly in question about what Rarity told her.

"Of course not. All across Equestria, ponies are preparing their own pageants for Hearth's Warming Eve in their own towns. It's tradition." Rarity had for told this Fluttershy, the poor shy pony.

"So you're saying they'll be too busy to come to our play?" She asked, trying to understand her statement.

"Well, no. We're in the Canterlot pageant, the biggest, most important production in all of Equestria. A lot of ponies will come to watch us." Rarity explained. Which caught Syera's attention.

"By A lot, just how many do you think "a lot" is Rare?" Syera asked, as too was getting ready for the play ahead of them, trying on her costume to make sure it fit properly.

"Hundreds. At the very least." Rarity spoke to her two friends.

"Hundreds?" Fluttershy told shivering a little. However Rarity might have gone over the top as she had gasped a little in excitement.

"Maybe even thousands dear! It could be a full house indeed for them to see us perform and I cannot wait!" Rarity told and Fluttershy whimpered a little bit shyly at such a comment.

"Don't worry Fluttershy, just remember, were right behind ya on that stage. Since we're in this together-" Syera told, however being cut off by hard gusts wind rushing in from a nearby window, and started to sturr up a few things around the dressing room.

"Oh, my hair! Applejack? Be a dear and shut those windows, will you?" Rarity asked, however this started a whole chain of events as the dressing room became a bit filled with havoc.

"Aaah! Rain-bow-Dash! Rain-bow-Dash! Aaaah! Thank you, thank you!" Rainbow Dash boasted herself as if she was the real big star of all of them. In which Applejack stopped to tell her before shutting the window.

"It's a reenactment of the founding of Equestria. It's not the 'Rainbow Dash Show'." Applejack told, as she was in character now as well. She was to play Smart Cookie, the advisor of Pinkie Pie's Character, Chancellor Puddinghead.

"Well it should be the 'Rainbow Dash Show'! I'm the star!" Rainbow Dash told in a bit of selfishness.

"Come now Rainbow Dash, we're all stars here, besides we all got a role to play, let's not get ahead ourselves." Syera told.

"Curtain in two minutes girls!" Spike sounded off at the warning of time left to get ready and get the play started.

"Fluttershy come on, you need to get out of there!" Twilight struggled to get Fluttershy out.

"Twilight, let me handle this." Pinkie Pie tried helping but it didn't seem quite effective.

"PINKIE!!!" Twilight had screamed as she was yanked back by the head but soon Pinkie let go and the poor unicorn and Pegasus pony were slingshoted into the box of wreaths and shingles.

"The Hearth's Warming Eve pageant is about harmony and friendship." Applejack still butted heads with Rainbow Dash about what was going on, however she forgot one thing

"Shut the window!" Everypony shouted, and Syera walked over and shut it since it seemed everything was getting a bit wild.

"Okay okay! The window is shut! Now come on girls we got a show to put on. And everypony, and I mean everypony here has trained and rehearsed for this moment for weeks on end, were all a little on edge but we got this in the bag. Now come on, let's do this!" Syera told as she pounded her fists together and put her hands on her hips with a smile dawning her face. It was enough inspiration to even get Fluttershy up in moving, and so, the show goes on as expected here and now.

As the lights dimmed on the theater, the ponies in the audience had quiet down from their chatter and Spike sounded off the story as he came on stage.

"Once upon a time, long before the peaceful rule of Celestia and Luna, and before ponies discovered our beautiful land of Equestria, ponies did not know harmony. These were strange and dark times of our age. A time when ponies were torn apart... by hatred!" He told with a small pause in his voice as the curtains behind him portrayed the times where each race had their moments and how they raged against one another, causing a gasp from the crowd.

"I know. Can you believe it?" Spike broke character for a moment but went back as his accent returned. "During this frightful age, each of the three tribes – the Pegasi, the unicorns, and the Earth ponies – cared not for what befell the other tribes, but only for their own welfare." He spoke as each race revealed themselves. "In those troubled times, as now, the Pegasi were the stewards of the weather. But they demanded something in return: food that could only be grown by the Earth ponies. The unicorns demanded the same, in return for magically bringing forth day and night. And so, mistrust between the tribes festered until, one fateful day, it came to a boil. And what prompted the ponies to clash? 'Twas a mysterious blizzard that overtook the land, and toppled the tribes' precarious peace." The audience had taken all this in and whispered among each other on their thoughts upon the story. A moment later, Spike had continued.

"The normally industrious Earth ponies were unable to farm their land." Spike had told as harsh elements such a wind and snow had howled and fell as night falled. "The Earth ponies were freezing. The home of the Pegasi fared no better. The Pegasi were hungry. And the unicorns were freezing and hungry. Even the unicorns' magic was powerless against the storm. Each tribe blamed the others for their suffering, and the angrier everypony grew, the worse the blizzard became." Had Spike explained and shown forth the solution for this crisis.

"And so it was decided that a grand summit would be held by the old wise Traveler to figure out a way to cope with the blizzard. Each tribe sent their leaders. Daughter of the unicorn king, Princess Platinum. Ruler of the Pegasi, Commander Hurricane. And lastly.... leader of the Earth ponies, Chancellor Puddinghead. Perhaps the three tribes could finally settle their differences, and agree on a way to get through this disaster, with the Traveler's aid of course."

"All I wanna know is why the Earth ponies are hogging all the food!" Commander Hurricane had asked angrily towards the Chancellor. The Pegasi who gathered shouted loudly in response.

"Us?! We're not hogging all the food, you are! Oh, wait, you're right. It's us. Well, it's only 'cause you mean old Pegasusususes are making it snow like crazy!" Pudding Head had told in retort to the claim of Hurricane.

"For the hundredth time, it's not us! We're not making it snow! It must be the unicorns! They're doing it with their freaky magic!" The attention Hurricane now put it too was now the Unicorns, so Princess Platinum had now spoke up.

"How dare you! Unlike you Pegasi ruffians, we unicorns would never stoop to such a thing! H-m-ph!" The Princess had spoken up in defense of the Unicorns whom huffed after she had.

However before there was constant bickering and no solution. The Traveler had arrived through the door of the court, everypony's head had turned in surprise as the Traveler had arrived on scene. She was fashionably late for many reasons due to the weather and how far she had to go to get to this court. Approaching the table the three leaders had sat at, she placed a hand on the table from her cloaked hooded self to hide her identity and soon spoke softly.

"I hope I am not too late. So, my dear little ponies, what seems to be the problem?" The Traveler has spoken.

"The Traveler, thank goodness you are here. The Pegasi are making it snow so hard and the Earth Ponies are hogging all the food!" Princess Platinum had told to catch her up. But the Traveler had multiple inputs on the situation hit her as Hurricane and Puddinghead spoke next.

"Hey! We may be hoarding the food, but it's for the right reason since there is so little as is we can ration among our own kind!" Puddinghead spoke.

"And lastly, we pegasi aren't making it snow! Something else is making it happen, and since we can't say it's the unicorns since they're struggling just as much as the rest…. We have run out of solutions to make this any easier as we all are on the Brink of war honestly." Hurricane had spoken. It was then the Traveler had spoken on the situation.

"You all need not fight or war against each other since the real enemies are upon us, ancient creatures bread of a darkness so evil that it's being fueled by the negative energy you all are spreading and it must stop soon if you are all the see another season. So…" The Traveler had spoke but crossed her arms as she stood before all them.

"I propose one solution, if the earth ponies can ration out as much as you can to everypony else. And the Pegasi try their best to push back this weather so we all don't freeze. And that the unicorns can supply their magic abilities to help support the sick and wounded from everything that has happened. Other than that, this darkness will spread if you do not find a way to work together. Otherwise the next best solution, is to leave and settle elsewhere." The Traveler suggested these two ideas and so the three leaders huddled together for a short moment and spoke on agreement on one thing, that moving elsewhere is important for survival among themselves.

"Well dear Traveler, if you cannot stop the darkness, then I'm just plum out of ideas. And going with the second idea you proposed to find new land is perfect!" Puddinghead smiled and agreed upon this plan.

"What a shocker. An Earth pony with no ideas and can't decide for themselves." The Commander had mocked the Chancellor.

"Commander Hurricane, please cease with the insults! Plus if finding a new land to move to is the answer then we must take it! Cause if we can't ration out the food the earth ponies have, then we're doomed! I'm on the Traveler's idea of moving."

"First off, you're not the boss of me, your royal snootiness! And secondly, if we are going to move, it sure won't be together with you snobs!" Commander Hurricane had told which caused yet another arguement.

"I beg your pardon?! I am a princess! I won't be spoken to that way! And it's not like we unicorns wanted to move together as a group anyway with you pegasi or earth ponies!" Platinum retorted which caused another arguement to fly, in which the Traveler stomped her boot on the table before them all.

"Listen! If we all are able to survive this crisis, we must come with a diplomatic solution. But if you three are going to do nothing but insult each other then we aren't going to get anywhere! In which I will say this meeting is adjourned for now. Until then, return to your homes and stay warm. Harmony will be the other solution if we are to push back the dark." The Traveler had spoke in which all three leaders looked upon each other and nodded in agreement to it and had left.

"Well, I'm leaving first!"

"No, I'm first!"

"Dears, come now, you know it is I who is first upon leaving." In which the three leaders had departed, sort of since they struggled to see who'd be able to leave the courthouse first. The Traveler sighed and spoke.

"The darkness draws closer… we must all act fast if we are to endure." The Traveler had pushed the three out the door with her boot to stop them from continuing their bickering, and had disappeared in the snowy blizzard. All three had stood up on their hooves and made their seperate ways to their homes.

"And so… the blizzard raged on as this darkness began to spread further, the summit of the tribes did turn out okay. but not as okay as each race had hoped. Finding a new land was indeed going to be hard when escaping such evil." Spike monologued as the scene on stage changed one by one.

"And the three leaders returned home to lick their wounds... and basically complain. However the Traveler had observed each interaction of the three races through projections she created to send information back to her about what each race had planned. First was the Pegasi." Spike narrated as the Traveler's projections spread in three directions.

"Atten-tion!" The Commander had rushed by her second in command, Private Pansy. And spoke up to her as she rested on a cloud. In which she saluted but fell down from her cloud into a pile of snow. "Well? Aren't you curious about how it went?" She shouted at the Private.

"Oh! Commander Hurricane, sir! How did it go, sir?" Pansy asked. In which Hurricane swatted snow in anger, which hit and sat on Pansy's helmet.

"Horribly! Those other tribe leaders are so disrespectful! Don't they realize that we are a mighty tribe of warriors, and should not be crossed? We have got to break ranks with those weak foals!" hurricane spoke and swatted Pansy down the steps before her and landed back into the snow. The Projection of the Traveler had watched and Shook her head but watched closely.

Elsewhere in the kingdom of the unicorns, a castle door was now opened by the Princess, Platinum who called forth for her servant. The Traveler's projection there watched as well.

"Clover the Clever! I need you!" Platinum shouted out as when a cloaked lavender unicorn came over to help her. With a blanket in her magic grasp and a hot yet lukewarm barrel of water for the Princess's royal hooves as she rested on a pillow.

"Yes, your Majesty. Did the other pony tribes see reason as I predicted?" She had asked the Princess about how it went.

"Those other tribes are impossible! I, for one, can no longer bear to be anywhere near those lowly creatures. The unicorns are noble and majestic. We will no longer consort with the likes of them!" Princess Platinum told as she splashed her hooves in the warm water gathered by Clover. But splashed some on her Clover's face in the process. The Projection of the Traveler was not too pleased to hear these results either and Shook her head with a disappointed sigh.

Lastly, at the townhall office, where the Chancellor recided. The last projection with the little bit of hope that the earth ponies had an idea besides just bickering among themselves and not trusting the other races. The Projection followed Chancellor Pudding head, to the roof? And so the Chancellor went down the chimney with a serious and dusty thud, smiling all the way down. Her advisor, Smart Cookie waited by the door but soon turned around when she saw her and asked.

"Wouldn't it have been easier to use the door, Chancellor?" Smart Cookie had asked.

"Maybe for you, Smart Cookie. But I am a chancellor. I was elected because I know how to think outside the box. Which means…" The Chancellor had stuck her head in the chimney after coming out of it and spoke with a muffled but slightly echoey voice "I can also think inside the chimney. Can you think inside a chimney?" She had asked as she walked out.

"Uh…" Is all that came out of Smart Cookie before she was stopped by Puddinghead.

"I didn't think so." She spoke with an ash filled face.

"Ugh.." Smart Cookie had just looked around with concern as she didn't know how to respond on such a thing. But soon her attention had snapped when the Chancellor just had an idea come her way.

"Ohmygosh. Hold on to your hooves! I am just about to be brilliant!" Puddinghead enthusiastically spoke with a smile.

"That'd be a first." Smart Cookie said under her breath as she listened to the Chancellor.

"I have decided that the Earth ponies are gonna go it alone!" She had told as the final order.

"Aw, so you mean the other tribes didn't come around? Shoot... I really thought we could get through to 'em if we–" Smart Cookie was yet again cut off by Puddinghead as she got in her personal space and placed her hooves on her shoulders

"Don't worry about them. We're the ones with all the food, right?" Puddinghead spoke with a steady smile.

"Actually, we're all out." Cookie spoke dryly as she delivered to bad news to the Chancellor.

"Fine, then we'll have to go somewhere new where we can grow some new food. And with me as our fearless leader, what could go wrong?" Puddinghead spoke as she opened the front door and a mound of snow came hurling down on her.

"Where should I start?" Smart Cookie once again spoke under her breath about what has occured but snapped to Puddinghead as her head popped out of the top of the mound of snow.

"The point is… We must find a new land!" Puddinghead spoke, in which was the final solution. All three leaders came to it as thanks to the Traveler's idea first and foremost. It was good that the Traveler did get through to them a little bit, but the fact each race went on their own to find such a new place. Finding new land would be long, rough and tough for what is upon them. The Traveler's Projections followed each race on their mission, as fast as she could. However it was not easy to endure. Not due to the energy she used.

But for the sheer factor of how each race had fair'd and it caused many headaches of disappointment.

"C'mon, Private Pansy, let's get a move on! Hup-one, hup-two!" It followed upon Commander Hurricane as well as Private Pansy, The Commander tried to get the Private to fly faster so they can escape the horrible snowstorm brewing before them. A streak of lightning made the Private jump in the hooves of Hurricane who did not approve so well.

"Get a hold of yourself, Private! We cannot let anything distract us from the mission at hand. To find, and if necessary, to conquer a new land!" Hurricane told dropping the Private who was able to fly just fine after such a thing.

"Conquer, sir?" Pansy asked a bit concerned, as she didn't seem the thought of fighting.

"You never know where enemies might be lurking…" the Commander spoke in response as she looked around and about in the sky, as did the Private.

"I don't see any enemies, Commander. Just... snow." The Private had told in which the Commander had rushed into a dark cloud ahead of her full of intent of battle.

"A-ha! What's that?!" She struggled to break the dark cloud, in which it was just a cloud, not an enemy in sight but it shocked Private Pansy when a small patch of it was near her, making her leap into her hooves again.

"Okay. This is getting old… Let's go Private!" Hurricane told after dropping the Private as they pressed on.

Down below in the Forest, another projection of the Traveler followed Clover the Clever and Princess Platinum as they traversed the snow-capped tundra wilderness..

"Oh, this is simply taking forever. My hooves are killing me! How long have we been walking for?" Platinum complained to Clover.

"About five minutes, your highness." Clover answered as she moved a tree branch behind them and showed the castle was not out of view just yet.

“Oh, I never imagined finding a new land would be so hard. But it'll all be worth it, don't you agree?" Platinum asked as they trotted along the forest.

"Actually, I think that the three tribes could've tried harder." Clover told, placing her input on the situation.

"As do I sadly… " The Traveler's Projection had spoke softly out of their hearing range as it was next to Clover, however they each could not see it as it was invisible to their eye. However before more could be said from Clover, the Princess shrieked.

"Stoooooop!" She screamed in which Clover ran by the Princess's side.

"What's wrong, your highness?" She asked as she came to a halt.

"That is what's wrong!" Princess Platnum told as Water had come rushing down a small stream, as if she treated the situation like a roaring river. In which Clover the Clever had smiled and chuckled a little.

"Your Highness, it's just a stream. We can cross it easily." Clover had foretold as she did just that. However the Princess spoke about it otherwise.

"I refuse to get my gown wet. I have no intention of arriving at my new land looking like a bedraggled Earth pony, or worse yet a rough-and-tumble Pegasus. I, for one, have no intention of stooping down to their level. On the other hand, I have no trouble watching you stoop down." Platinum spoke hinting at something, Clover had groaned in annoyance as she was now saddled upon by the Princess and carried her across the Stream of water and further beyond.

"And do watch the gown, darling. It's worth more than all of the books in your library." Princess Platinum told as they pressed forward. The Traveler's projection following closeby if they need assistance on their adventure that they cannot conquer on their own.

Meanwhile the third projection followed behind Chancellor Puddinghead and Smart Cookie in the mountain range beyond the town they hailed from, leading in a path to the unknown. However, it seemed they weren't going to far as the projection Shook her head as well as Smart Cookie who had concerned looks on her face as she had litterally followed the Chancellor in circles. Considering the map Puddinghead had was attached to her face and had holes so she could see and speak with her muzzle peaking through.

"Yes, yes. This is definitely the right direction." Puddinghead mentioned.

"It feels like we're going in circles." Smart Cookie told.

"It's because you ARE going in Circles you two!" The Traveler's projection showed herself to them.

"But that's impossible! Also hello dear Traveler! Secondly are you two suggesting that I'm reading the map wrong?" She had asked the two of them.

"Absolutely not, your Chancellorness. It's just that there are holes in the map, and–" Smart Cookie told in which the Traveler added.

"So you are losing your sense of direction since even though you put holes in the map which was a bad idea, you can't see the map at all!" The Traveler shook her head and sighed once again and was sadden by such a sight.

"Well… Of course! How else could I see where I was going?" She asked the two of them

"Yeah, uh– well…" Smart Cookie had been cut off as she saw the Chancellor walk near a Cliff edge but stopped before falling off as a bit of snow came down.

"Or talk? I need to be able to talk! I mean, how would we survive if I just suddenly shut up?" The Chancellor spoke in which Smart Cookie retorted.

"Heaven forbid that should happen, your chancellorship." She spoke sarcastically.

"You're also forgetting one thing… the map you are using not only has holes in it, but is upside down too." The Traveler's Projection spoke crossing it's arms as she Shook her head.

"Well I got a newsflash for you, Traveler. The Earth is round. There is no up or down." Puddinghead told which made sense but no sense at all.

"Well yes but no, however–!" The Traveler's Projection was about to go on a rant but Smart Cookie just put a hoof to her saying it wasn't worth it and spoke with a wink.

"You're right! After all, It's such a relief to me that you're in charge of this map…" Smart Cookie told as she looked up at the mountain.

"Relief?!" The Chancellor walked ahead but walked backwards fastly towards Smart Cookie in a slightly annoyed tone. "You don't need relief! If anypony needs relief around here, it's me! I'm a chancellor! I'm a bigshot! You're just my, um... my, uh…" Puddinghead forgot Smart Cookie's role in which she told her.

"Secretary." Smart Cookie told softly and so the Chancellor Shook her head.

"Yes, whatever!" In which she bit onto the map, crumpled it a little bit and spat it out on Smart Cookie's face which is stuck to. And now a new order was given. "You take the map Smart Cookie, while I enjoy some relief." Chancellor Puddinghead walked towards the Cliff and fell off, but the Projection of the Traveler caught her and floated her back up and she smiled.

"Yes, Chancellor Puddinghead." Smart Cookie told as she made sense of the map. Spike then continued with his monologue

"And so, each leader encountered obstacles along the way, thanks to the Traveler's Projections it made it much easier on them. Not for the Traveler at times however, but eventually, they all arrived in a new and wondrous land. Nopony had ever seen paradise before." Spike had told the crowd, in which this new land was indeed paradise, the land in which would be Equestria as it is what it is now today.

"This is the new land we've been searching for!" It would seem Hurricane and Pansy were the first to arrive on this newly found land. However the Traveler could tell otherwise that each race was lead here by her to escape the darkness that followed.

"What a view... I can see my future house from here." Private Pansy commented and which the Commander staked their flag upon this place.

"I proclaim this new land to be in the name of all pegasi... Pegasopolis!" She told flying her banner in the clouds above the land.

Closeby, another one of the Traveler's projections lead the unicorns to the same place at a nearby mine hoarded with gemstones. Something Princess Platinum took much interest in.

"I've never seen such jewels! This ruby is dazzling. This whole land is dazzling. I'm double dazzled!" She squealed in delight. "In the name of the unicorns, I hereby dub this land Unicornia!" She told as Clover the Clever staked their banner on the soil of the landpath full of gemstones. Lastly the Third and final Projection followed Chancellor Puddinghead and Smart Cookie to a meadow in the middle of all of the three leaders, it was only a matter of time before they discovered one another.

"The air! The trees! The dirt! This dirt is the dirtiest dirt in the whole dirt world!" Puddinghead had grasped each detail thoroughly till she plopped into the fertile dirt beneath her hooves. It was so pure that when Smart Cookie let a small patch rest on her hoof, it started to flurish with greenery like no other.

"And fertile, too. Perfect for growing food." Smart Cookie told as she observed the soil on her hoof flourish to a small plant.

"In the name of all Earth ponies, I think I'm gonna call this new place... uh... Dirtville!" Puddinghead smiled proudly of her name, however Smart Cookie had another suggestion that fit better.

"How about… "Earth" instead your Chancellorship?" She asked.

"Earth! Congratulations to me for thinking of it." She told letting her hat fall off and their banner for Earth Ponies rise high up from the fertile dirt.

"We found our new home!" The three leaders shouted in which they all noticed themselves. It was then the Traveler had appeared before them clapping with a smile but soon it turned to a serious expression once she stopped.

"You all have indeed, but the real question you should be asking now. Who has the real rights to fly their banner?" The Traveler asked crossing her arms.

"Well, I planted my flag first!" Commander Hurricane claimed.

"Did not! It was us Unicorns who did!" Princess Platinum told in defense of their flag planted on the ground.

"We planted ours much earlier than first." Chancellor Puddinghead told with a smile.

"The point being you all arrived at the same time! So in a way, you all discovered this place together without knowing it. Unicorns, Earth Ponies, Pegasi. You all have a stake in this." The traveler had spoken which gave them all a thought, in which Princess Platinum spoke first.

"Not to be rude to at all dear Traveler, but the rest of you riffraffs are trespassing in Unicornia!" She had claimed.

"The name is Pegasopolis!" Commander Hurricane claimed.

"Earth!" Puddinghead stoke her claim on the name of the new land as well, this debate however did not last long as Commander Hurricane proposed the ultimatum.

"I say we fight for the land. May the best pony win!" However this proposal lead to drastic repercussions as the weather slowly took a turn for the worse. The Traveler was the first to notice it.

"No no no… You all must stop! The darkness is drawing near with your hatred for one another!" The Traveler pleaded for each race to not do battle with one another, but it seemed too late as they were caught in their own tangents.

"That's barbaric. Clover the Clever, throw that brute into the dungeon!" Princess Platinum was ready to cower away and put her assistant before in battle.

"What dungeon? Look, the Traveler is right! We have to find a better solution than war, perhaps if we all calmed down… We can think this out?" Clover the Clever offered.

"I agree. Let's all calm down and think it through please." Smart Cookie had agreed upon this.

"I vote for calm and thinking it through and through." Private Pansy was for this idea, however it seemed the Commander did not approve of this.

"I'll have you court-martialed for insubordination, Private! We settle this on the battlefield!" Before another word got out it seemed the war had started since a snowball was thrown and wacked across the commander's helmet, wait… Snowball? In which the Princess Laughed but soon stopped as one hit her as well in the muzzle.

"Who dares throw a snowball at royalty?!" She shrieked as Commander Hurricane laughed but stopped when Puddinghead did beg the question of snow.

"Wait a minute, where'd all this snow come from anyway?" She had asked. But the answer soon turned on them with an answer.

"The negative energy you all displayed is becoming your downfall… The Darkness, has brung forth it's answer…" The Traveler told to them as the elements brought forth wind and snow, along with the ancient creatures who brought it forth.

"And so the paradise that the ponies had found was soon lost, buried beneath a thick blanket of snow and hard feelings. Instead of beautiful, it was blizzardy. Instead of wonderful, it was wintry! Instead of spectacular, it was snow-tacular! Instead of–" Spike was cut off when one of the audience peonies who had enough of this monologuing dragging out too far and shouted.

"We get it! Move on!" And so Spike did, clearing his throat.

"The Traveler had everypony who was accounted for to seek shelter immediately. Searching high and low, the only shelter that could be found for miles was a cold and desolate cave. And, of course, under no request from the Traveler to say otherwise, the three tribes were forced to share the cave, and nopony was too happy about that. But it had to be done if they were to survive the Darkness and it's cold wintery storms." Spike told, setting the scene as the Traveler gathered the unicorns, pegasi and earth ponies into the cave. It was dry none the less but was indeed cold. So they had to huddle up for warmth, the Traveler stood near the entrance to keep watch of the storm to see if it would pass soon.

"Please, Commander Hothead." Platinum requested of the Pegasus Commander.

"It's Commander Hurricane." She corrected the Princess as she got her face. And so the Princess restated after clearing her throat.

Please, Commander, could you just stand back and give me my royal space?" She requested firmly in which Hurricane pushed it.

"You mean like this, your highness?" Hurricane told stepping closer to Platinum on purpose. Which the Princess pushed her hoof back and explained.

"Indeed not! You see this invisible line?" She said pointing in the dirt beneath their hooves. In which it was now taken to the extreme.

"Private, outline our territory for everypony to see." Hurricane ordered Pansy to draw a line in dirt, doing so. Hurricane helped speed it up by grabbing her flanks and dragging her across the ground to mark the line. "See this real, non-invisible line? No unicorns or Earth ponies are allowed to cross it! This is the sovereign territory of Pegasopolis!" In which the rest of the leaders took action as Commander Hurricane layed out the law before them.

"Clover the Clever?" Platinum had ordered Clover to do the same.

"Uh... Smart Cookie!" As Puddinghead told her as well.

"I know, I know." They both told as they Drew line after line in the dirt. The two accidentally crossed paths and soto compensate, the two went the opposite directions. Private Pansy marked more territory but hit an obstacle. A rock in the way of the line. And so the went around the rock but Hurricane disapproved of this action.

"What are you doing? Don't go around the rock, go over it! I'm not giving up an inch of territory to the enemy!" She told angrily at the Private for doing such a thing.

"That rock was clearly on the Unicornia side of the cave, and so it belongs to us!" Platinum told as she claimed the rock from the rest. And whispered to Clover "Who knows? There could be jewels inside." She told in which now the Commander took the rock from them.

"I claim this rock for Pegasopolis!" She told as she held it away from the unicorns.

"Unhand my rock this instant, you scoundrelist brute!" She shouted. And so Commander Hurricane was caught blindly by the Chancellor next who took the rock while saying

"Oh, look, you found my rock. I've been looking for it everywhere!" And took off with incredible speed back on her territory of the cave.

"Hey! You invaded our territory!" Hurricane shouted with anger.

"Finders keepers, losers weepers!" Puddinghead taunted with a smile as all ever.

"That's the last straw!" Hurricane took the offensive and crossed the borderline between her land and the others to claim the rock back. In which the Traveler finally took notice.

"Give me my rock!" Princess Platinum shouted as they ran around the cave chasing each other over a rock.

"What is going on here!?" The Traveler shouted in shock of what was going on as she returned inside the cave where they resided. Dropping whatever firewood she had to start a fire to keep them warm to survive the night and come up with a solution.

"They're fighting over a rock dear Traveler." Clover the Clever told with a worried and yet confused expression to the situation.

"It's just gettin' plain childish at this point for them to fight. They're like foals. Look at em." Smart Cookie told as the three leaders ran a mock in the cave. Stomping and running all over the lines of supposive territory around the cave floor.

"I just wish the fight would just end… " Private Pansy cried a little as she did not like the feeling of this much conflict, especially over child like reasons like who took who's rock and such else. However it did not last long for the darkness had found them and started to freeze the cave. The Traveler took first glance at this and stood away from the entrance and is now in the middle of the cave.

"Everypony stop!!" She shouted and they did so. "Look! The entrance is freezing over… No… This has all happened before… Just like with my race of people before yours… Constant war and fighting, it was not the wars that drove my people to extinction… It was the darkness that came and whipped us out" the Traveler fell to her knees sadden as she is now reliving such a horrible fate.

"Great. So what you're saying is there's no way out!? And… We're trapped..?" Commander Hurricane told a bit shocked since this maybe the end for them all.

"Seeing how this all turned out, You two deserve this horrible fate. You've done nothing but argue and fight with each other!" Princess Platinum retorted on this situation.

"Like you're any better than the rest of us! You've been fighting too, your Highness." Hurricane had told to the Princess of what has truly happening, this really is the end for them.

"Yeah! Worse! I haven't been fighting nearly as much as you!" Puddinghead shouted out, however it seemed to really be the end for the leaders as they each had begun to be incased in ice due to their negative emotions towards one another.

"How ridiculous! A unicorn never stoops to fighting!" Platinum told as they froze up slowly but surely from head to hoof.

"That's just 'cause you wimpy unicorns know you'd never win!" Commander Hurricane had shouted her last words before submitting to her fate. "Earth ponies are numbskulls!" As did the other leaders as they were in cased in ice.

"Pegasi are brutes!" Princess Platinum shouted as she was frozen for good as it seemed.

"Unicorns are snobs!" Puddinghead uttered out as she too met her fate in a frozen casket of ice.

The remaining pony's soon backed into the Traveler and shrieked a little from them touching her. But soon claimed down to see it was just themselves. However the roars of the ancient creatures got all their attention as they shrieked and shivered against the Traveler's body in her grasp. They all looked up.

"W-W-What are those... things?" Private Pansy spoke as they looked upon them.

"They must be... Windigos!" Clover the Clever was right about these creatures being indeed the ancient snow spirits that feed off hate and negative emotion.

"Windigos?" Pansy and Smart Cookie asked about them.

"My mentor Star Swirl the Bearded taught me about them. They're winter spirits that feed off fighting and hatred. The more hate the spirit feels, the colder things become!" Clover explained. Which all made sense to everypony in the room.

"It's the same fate… My people faced a millennium ago, how the darkness fed on our negative emotion and sent forth the Wendigos to freeze our people in icy tombs. Many of my people perished… And only I… The Traveler, managed to survive this fate when three others I faced with surrounded me in positive energy to push them back to the hell they were sent from, a sacrifice I will never forget." The Traveler told her tale and soon the ice had formed around them all. As it too was about to be their end. "Now seeing this… I fear… That won't save us this time. I am very sorry to all of you, it's my fault that I couldn't do much to prevent this my dear little ponies, I really am…"

"No dear Traveler, it's not you to blame... this is our fault. We three tribes... we brought this blizzard to our home by fightin' and not trustin' each other. Now it's destroyin' this land that we now call our home, too." Smart Cookie explained to the Traveler that it was not her fault nor her burden to bare again.

"We wouldn't Dare blame you for our mistakes as history repeats itself. We now suffer this fate on our accord. Letting our bodies become as cold as our hearts... all because we were all too foolish enough to hate one another. You are not the one who caused this. Many thought you were a foolish prophet who spoke of Harmony, but we did not listen and so we must pay the price.

"Well, to tell you all the truth. I don't hate you at all... I actually hate Commander Hurricane a lot more than I ever thought of hating you guys. And the same to you dear Traveler." In which those words from Private Pansy hit the other three. They all chuckled lightly.

"Actually, I don't really hate her, I just really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really dislike her. But I still respect and love her as a fellow pony." All of them laughed but agreed on this.

"Well, I don't hate you guys either." Smart Cookie told smiling.

"Nor do I. And from what I can say for all of us, we don't hate you either dearest Traveler." Clover the Clever spoke out as their bodies soon were encased in ice. The Traveler removed her hood to expose her face, her long spiky long hair showed her features as being a primal based lifeform.

"You… Don't hate me? Even after all I tried to do and failed… You still like me?" She asked, tearing up a bit as the ice all came to their neck levels.

"Of course! No matter what our differences, we're all folks who want nothing but harmony." Smart Cookie told as they all closed their eyes in a smile as they were soon incased in ice.

"Harmony… " The Traveler spoke as her eyes closed, however they were all not incased in ice much longer. Suddenly a wave of energy emitted from the Clover the Clever's horn that ignited something in the traveler as well. It was at this point the Traveler's Super Transformation powers had awoken. A whirl of energy sounded off in the cave and a flare of purple and golden energy bursted in the cave. The ice broken off the bodies of the four individuals.

"No! I will not let History repeat itself!" The Traveler told as she crossed her arms in an x formation and powered up, her aura bursting gold and electricity roaring and pushing the dark back with her light. Clover the Clever right behind her with her own spell had thwarted the Windigos from pushing any further. Soon the energy focused in the Traveler.

"Nrerggg… Gahhhhhhhhhhh!!!" She raised her arms up high as a big blinding flash of red energy in the shape of a circle blinded the Windigos as they whined in terror of such energy that is obliterated them on contact. "Dahhhhhhahhhhhhh!!!" The Traveler screamed as the power of the Super Saiyan roared outwards. Soon after the dust settled. The magical power heart that Clover the Clever had made combined with the Traveler's Super Transformation of light combined. It was so powerful, the energy radiating off the Traveler pulsed and sounded with chimed bell noises from how harmonic the energy she pushed out. But soon she transformed out of it as the heart spell kept the energy the Traveler exhorted out and drove the darkness back.

"What was that?" Private Pansy asked as she and Smart Cookie came near Clover and the Traveler.

"I didn't know such harmonic power existed. Nor did I think unicorn magic could do that. And the Traveler… Dear Traveler, who and what are you really? I never seen such light before, you've changed." Smart Cookie told.

"I don't know… And who am I…?" The Traveler smiled lightly "I am the one very last of my kind that ruled these lands before your people came to be of here. Ones only talked about in your old ponish languages. A race of warriors fighting the darkness for as long as time began, I am truth. I am an Ally to good, and a Nightmare to evil!" She shouted as the power came back to her and she transformed. Holding it this time and calming her aura. In which the three ponies who were there witnessed this and smiled at this beacon of hope.

"We see… I didn't think your kind still roamed this world. Nothing like this has happened in nearly a thousand years. But I know this couldn't have been anything else but destiny." Clover the Clever had approached the Traveler's side as she kneeled down to their level.

"It came from all four of us, joined together, in Harmony as you put it." Clover told but it was then the Traveler spoke further on it.

"No...not just Harmony dear little Pony, this. This is Friendship. A Friendship between four different races, no matter who they are. Friendship is always not too far away from us! I wish my people could see this." The Traveler spoke about it.

"I am sure they already have." Private Pansy spoke about them.

"And I reckon they are darn tootin' proud of ya." Smart Cookie told in which all four of them held hoof to fist, and all pounded them together. Keeping harmony and balance between them as they survived the might of the darkness, together.

"All through the night, the three ponies and the ancient Traveler kept the fire of friendship alive by telling stories to one another and by singing songs by a campfire, which of course became the winter carols that we all still sing today by our chimney fireplaces. Eventually, the warmth of the fire and singing and laughing reached the leaders, and their bodies began to thaw." Spike paused and cleared this throat before speaking normally and not in accent. "And it even began to melt their hearts." He continued back in character. "The three leaders agreed to share the beautiful land, and live in harmony ever afterwards." He told as the six ponies came together with the Traveler and forged a new banner, a Banner that would long be held.

"And together, they named their new land…" He finished off as the cast of the six ponies and Saiyan sounded off the name they had come up with together.

"Equestria!" They all shouted in which the curtain closed but soon Re opened as all eight of which had told the story bowed before the crowd. And after the bells chimed and the cast sung one last song, and confetti lined the stage. The audience cheered for such a prime performance, it would seem Syera, Twilight Sparkle, Spike, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash as well as Applejack, Fluttershy and Rarity would retell this tale at least more than once from how this show went on. Backstage the group gathered to talk about how the show cycled through and it was indeed a success to withhold.

"We should be so honored that Princess Celestia chose us! She must really think we exemplify what good friends are!" Twilight had spoken about their friendship.

"I sure can agree with such an honor. no only representing not only the elements of harmony, but the true stepping Stones of what Friendship really boils down to." Syera told smiling as she removed the cloak from her outfit and changed back into her normal clothes, her Gi and Boots and gloves.

"I couldn't agree with you more Syera." Fluttershy told.

"Indeedly so!" Pinkie told hugged Rarity but soon let go after the windows blew open gusting heavy winds again and snow.

"Applejack, I thought you closed all the windows." Rarity claimed to her earthpony friend.

"Don't blame me. Rainbow Dash should've flown up there and shut it. After all, she's got wings." Applejack commented on the situation at hand. She was indeed right that Rainbow would be better at doing such a chore since they were quite high.

"Why do I always have to do all the high up chores? Why can't Twilight use her magic for a change!" Rainbow told which caused a whole string of arguments to uproar. However the six stopped when they all hear the familiar sound of the Windigos roaring outside. But what quieted the Windigos was Syera as she screamed and roared right back as her Super Saiyan power bloomed out the room and through the windows.

"Dragghhhhhhhh!!!!" Syera shrieked as she powered up slightly, her aura chiming as it did before which was indeed new. She looked back at her friends with a smile and a wink and they all smiled back at her as Rainbow then stood up to the problem.

"Y'know what? I got it." Rainbow Dash told as she flew past Syera and shut the windows, the Super Saiyan going out as she did and all they could do was laugh it off. Syera however looked out the window at the magic heart that Twilight had casted in the show. Showing that harmony was indeed still here in Equestria today and could still rain down strong in generations to come. However, she could only imagine what the future held.

Only thing left now was the get that Hot Coco she wanted.

"So, how about we get ourselves a good cup of hot Coco girls?" She suggested and they all cheered in delight as they did just that. After getting the commemorating gift of actors of the year that is from the two Royal Princess sisters for such an act. Thereafter, Syera and her friends enjoyed a beautiful hearth's warming in Canterlot. Where bells rung as midnight struck and carols were sung throughout the night.

Until it hit Dawn where they woke up around the hearth's warming tree and opened gifts and wished each other "Happy Hearth's Warming!"

Now that the holidays have been concluded this time around, what awaits Syera and the rest of her friends and Sister Twilight Sparkle?

Find out next time, in the adventures of the Equestrian Saiyan!

Chapter 29: A Dragon's Quest, Spike Finds His Path of Destiny!

View Online

Last Time on Syera: The Equestrian Saiyan.

She and her friends played a part in one of the biggest plays of the winter season in Equestria, the tale of how Equestria itself was founded, by the guidance of an ancient traveler who founded the land from a race before the Pony Folk became what they are today.

The Hearth's Warming tale was sung by the seven element bearers and their words were heard for those to remember the past so that the future could be a better place as the present continues forward.

Now as Winter Wrapped up for the time. What awaits Syera, Twilight Sparkle and their friends?

Find out, Now!

Cue Intro Music: A Dragon's Quest, Spike finds his path of Destiny.

It was a special day in Equestria as it was the time of the great Dragon Migration, where the dragons move to other lands to find crops of gems and jewels as well as raising their young and finding their path as a dragon.

But for today, it was just an entertainment sky show for the ponyfolk across the Equestria Borders. This particular day showcased Ponyville with Syera, Twilight Sparkle along with their friends Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Applejack as well as Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy, or so they thought about Fluttershy.

"Fluttershy! Come on, this is a once in a lifetime thing to see! The Great Dragon Migration, I'd like to say we couldn't have picked a better day to be alive and well." Syera told pleaded to Fluttershy as she tried with her might along with Rainbow Dash to drag her out of her Cottage.

"There's nothing fun about dragons! Scary, yes! Fun, no!" Fluttershy pleaded outward.

"But Fluttershy, the great dragon migration happens only once in a generation, just like Syera said! Do you really wanna pass up a chance like that?" Twilight told her as she put emphasis on what her saiyan sister told.

"Now when you put it that way… Yes!" Fluttershy told still resisting even the strength of Syera and Rainbow Dash combined, fear is an intense factor of strength.

"Look, Fluttershy, I as well Syera watched that boring butterfly migration with you, so now it's your turn to watch the dragon migration with me as well as the others who are going!" Rainbow Dash told which made Syera very angry as she remembered it herself.

"Yeah! It was so boring I nearly fell asleep each time I tried to enjoy it but hey we endured it for you. It's time to return the favor! You. owe. Us!" Syera told angryily.

"I… SAID…. NO!" Fluttershy headbutted Syera in the nose as the saiyan stumbled back and held her face.

"Agh!" Syera held her nose, which was actually bleeding a little bit. Rainbow Dash however got a bad front of it too as she was tumbled down and stomped in the gut, having a lot of saliva get coughed up from when she did so, running to the window. Instead of jumping through it, she gracefully opened it and jumped out running off.

"Why that… Damn Shy Pony and her enormous stubborn strength and fear. I won't forget that…" Syera got up and held her nose, it was Bent a little and she popped it back in place with a few cracks.

"ooo… Syera you okay? That sounded worse than the headbutt she gave you… " Twilight asked worriedly as she checked on Rainbow Dash.

"Yeah… just got blood everywhere on my face, but not the worst thing I've ever experienced." Syera told as her glove was stained with her blood and she pulled out a handkerchief, blew her nose of the blood and disposed of it as she burned it with her ki energy. "Oww…" She said lightly as it hurt to get the rest of the blood out, but she felt light headed, nothing a Magic Bean could fix as she chewed on one, swallowed and healed up. She gave Rainbow Dash one as she had gotten up slowly and Shook her head.

"Ugh… It would seem she is off the hook this time… But yeah, let's not forget that she does owe us big time." Rainbow Dash told as they now convened together near the outskirts where a trench was made from the hard work of Syera, Applejack and Rainbow Dash.

Now that it was finished, stairs and everything and it was about four feet deep. Still a bit small for Syera's tall six foot stature but it worked easier when she crouched down and kneeled in the trench.

The gang of ponies and Saiyan waited, it was very silent for some time. Like the calm just before a storm. Only this storm would spawn a sea of dragons and potentially fire.

"Ya'll see anything yet?" Applejack asked as they each held a pair of binoculars, aimed at the sky.

"No… Not yet… Not a single dragon." Syera told softly as they kept quiet so nothing, not even a dragon would notice them.

"Me neither… " Twilight and Rainbow Dash told softly as well.

"Me Neither!" Pinkie Pie told as well, she was holding the binoculars she had in her hooves backwards, so it was hysterically obvious she couldn't see much.

"Shoot, do you think we missed them by chance?" Rainbow asked.

"Not a chance, I would have sensed them coming from a long ways away, they haven't arrived over this part of Equestria. I'm sure of it." Syera told as she looked over the skies as she could indeed sense the dragons, they were getting closer and closer by the minute, only way to know for sure was a visual cue.

"I'm with Syera, if anything I believe were just early, and the earlier the better. This way we can watch every moment of this migration without bringing any unwanted attention to ourselves." Twilight spoke in a normal tone, however she spoke too soon as Rarity joined them with a bit of an overzealous entrance.

"Yoo-hoo!" She had shouted with a red carpet and a bunch of confetti. Which made Syera chuckle as she looked back at Twilight.

"So much for keeping any unwanted attention to ourselves." Syera whispered to her sister with a smirk as they all looked at Rarity who approached on the red carpet towards the trench.

"Well? What do you think? Am I the toast of the trench or what?" Rarity asked as she made her grand entrance, however Twilight cut it short as she made the confetti and red carpet disappear with her magic.

"You'll be toast alright, when the dragons see you parading around in that getup." Applejack remarked with a chuckle along with Rainbow Dash and Syera.

"You look very nice, Rarity, but could you maybe look nice down here in the trench with us?" Twilight told as she welcomed Rarity in the trench with the others.

"Nice is an understatement. I look fabulous! Who says camouflage has to be drab?" Rarity told in which Syera gasped as she looked up with Pinkie Pie.

"Rarity, your comment on Drab Camouflage can wait! Yeah! Haha!" Syera cheered as the dragons flew overhead as Pinkie gave the announcement.

"Ahoy, maties! Dragons ho!" Pinkie shouted in a hushed manor as Syera did as well and now the show began, the Dragon Migration made their way to Ponyville.

Over the past few hours the crew of friends watched as dragon after dragon went over Ponyville.

"There's so many- I think they broke the Bekenstallion Limit of how many types there are that were theorized." Syera commented wholeheartedly as they watched in awe.

"Ooo…. Ahhhh!" All of them cheered minus Rainbow Dash as she played it off.

"Pfft… pretty lame moves, I can do better than that. Seriously, is that all they got?" Rainbow Dash spoke as she taunted them. However when one of the dragons got into a scuffle with another, one of them shot a big fire bolt downwards.

"Incoming!" Syera told as she and the others braced for impact. A fiery explosion rang in front of them. It singed a little bit of Rainbow Dash's face and wings in soot and a bit of fire.

"What do ya think of that 'move', Rainbow Dash?" Syera asked, chuckling alongside Applejack.

"Still think them there dragons are lame?" Applejack added on in which Rainbow changed her tone and perspective on the Dragons.

"Uh, not so much. The word 'fierce' comes to mind though." Rainbow Dash

"Don't forget 'formidable'." Rarity added onto that.

"And Super-duper Scary!" Pinkie finished it all off.

"Shoot, I'd sure like to tussle with a Dragon to see if my strength can match or even rival such power." Syera told as she was eager to do so. Shaking in her boots in excitement after all.

"Yeah! I'd love to see that one Syera. Us dragons are definitely a force to be reckoned with, I'm sure you can take one of us on for sure!" Spike arrived on the scene with a cart of snacks and treats, as well as water and juices. Of course his apron that he wore kind of made his state a bit laugh worthy.

"Yeah, right, Spike. That's one of the scariest aprons I've ever seen!" Rainbow Dash chuckled as well as Pinkie Pie and Applejack.

"What's wrong with wearing an apron? You won't be laughing when you spill blueberries all over your scales— feathers. That's one tough stain!" Spike told defending himself as he wore his apron with pride and passion for clean work with kitchen ensembles.

"One tough stain against one lame dragon." Rainbow Dash continued to make fun of Spike, however when Syera heard the word lame, she had a very bad flashback and it triggered a bit of anger.

Syera's Flashback

"Yeah, you're a dirty stain you lame monkey!" A bully told Syera who was young and beaten up by the three fillies who were rude to her specifically since she was different from other ponies but was accepted in society by Celestia's blessing as she was made public in her school as a Student.

"No… That's ENOUGH!" Syera screamed as she nearly snapped but held herself back.

Back to the present day

Syera had shouted the same thing as she raised her ki level by a large margin up to being a False start to her Super Saiyan state as the ground shook and the air cracked a bit, the Dragons taking notice as they flew by. Some who weren't too aware of the sudden tangent sorta fought each other in the sky

"Whoa calm down Syera, I was only joking with him-" Before Rainbow Dash said anything else, Syera had grunted with her teeth gritted as a small shockwave of energy pulsed out of her, forcing the blue Pegasus to tumble back into the trench wall. However Syera snapped back to her senses with a gasp

"Rainbow Dash I… I’m sorry, I dont know what came over me..” She held her head as she fell to her knees as such power came out in such a violent nature. Twilight came to her sister’s side with a lot of worry of why it happened. Syera held a hand out and panted a little as she had transformed back.

“What was that about dear?” Rarity asked

“Yeah, you just snapped, was it something we said?” Pinkie asked, very concerned for her friend.

“It’s what Rainbow Dash said to Spike about being lame… I had a bad flashback to where I hurt somepony awhile back as a kid growing up in Canterlot, first they were bullying Twilight before they targeted me, it was their last mistake to do. They called me a freak, a monkey that should be locked in a cage.. And that same bit of anger came out in that power surge and directed itself at you Rainbow Dash…” Syera told crying a little bit, tears coming down her cheeks

Before Syera got to apologize further she was told by Rainbow Dash "No no… I deserved that… And I'm sorry Syera, and to you more importantly Spike. I see where you're coming from, as Fluttershy was bullied in a similar way all the way back when we were in junior Flight School. And I stood up for her, but honestly I'm glad Spike isn't like the rest of these Dragons for sure." Rainbow Dash got up with a smirk and brushed herself off. Even coming over and hugging Syera, as well as wiping away her tears away with a her left wing. “And I sure as hell would not want you to be any different than who you are now!” She told with confidence

"Oh, not even close, and I wouldn’t want you any different either you adorable Saiyan!" Pinkie Pie told softly with a smile towards Spike and Syera, soon after she snack’d on a cookie.

"My little Spikey-wikey is perfect the way he is." Rarity told smiling as hugged Spike with love and care. “And you changing who you are Syera, darling, you are absolutely the kindest soul I think all of us know but so strong and brave, you’d give yourself up before your friends and family. Never change your mindset dear, but indeed grow as a person” Rarity added on

"Hm…" Syera softly breathed out as she was still a bit upset of what happened, and now she regrets letting her power slip out of her control in such a way. However Twilight pulled the Saiyan into a small hug as she knew her sister was hurt deep down. Syera hugged back softly as the others looked at them.

"Oh… Syera dear are you alright?" Rarity asked softly as the others came over huddled close to the Saiyan.

"No… I'm not, I feel like ripping something apart since I feel so angry! Makes me wonder sometimes why I was born a Saiyan and not I don't know… A pony like the rest of you." Syera said softly in an angry tone as she punched the ground, cracking it with ease.

"Same reason I was born as a Dragon I guess." Spike told softly. "We were all put on this world for a reason, Syera, that's all I know for sure. I just wish I knew who I was… As I know, you're a saiyan, your destiny and all I am intertwined with it. But I want to find my own Destiny as well… But I don't know where to start." Spike told softly, which made Syera pull him into a hug, he hugged back.

"awww… " Everypony there awed in joy as they looked at the Saiyan and the Dragon have a bit of a hugout. Soon they broke it.

"Thanks Spike, I'm glad I can call you a dear friend, as well as Brother." Syera told softly.

"But seriously… What am I… Where did I come from and where do I start?" Spike talked to himself, wondering what the answer is that lies ahead of him.

"How about for starters ditching that apron Spike? Hahaha!" Rainbow Dash.

"Why now of all times would you want to find out, Spike?" Applejack asked worriedly.

"It's the same way of asking why you would come back to your farm when you were young. Because Spike needs to find his place, where he belongs that is. I am sure he will find out soon enough." Syera told Applejack in which the farm pony nodded in agreement with a firm expression.

"Well besides all this talk about Destiny, there is one thing you've got something those dreadfully fierce dragons can only dream of Spike." Rarity added on.

"Huh? What's that?" Spike asked.

"The cutest widdle-chubby cheeks! Ooooo!" Rarity told smiling as she pinched his cheeks with her hooves, making him blush bright red.

"Cute?! Dragons aren't supposed to be cute! Right?" Spike told as he blushed even brighter red.

"I don't know about other Dragons, but I have to agree, Spike. You definitely are way easier and pleasing on the eyes than most others." Syera added as she shrugged lightly and smiled in his direction.

"Oh, sweetie, you are turning the most delightful shade of red. It is most becoming." Rarity told as Spike finally snapped a bit and ripped the apron off and stormed away.

"Rrrgh! I am not cute!" He sbouted as he stomped away crossing his arms.

"Isn't he such an adorable sight even when he is angrily waddling off?" Rarity added on.
"Waddle!? Rrrrrggh!" Spike shouted back as he was still ticked off.

"Okay okay Rarity, you got your point across… But I hope Spike does find his path of which his destiny leads him down to." Syera worriedly looked upon Spike as she saw him storm away. The Dragon Migration lasted most of the day and continued even as Nightfall approached and everypony in the trench packed up and headed home talking about today's events. But the question still begged in Spike's mind of who he is and where he came from. Its question pegged at him nearly all night long.

"What am I? Where am I from? Who am I supposed to be?" Spike kept on and on throughout the night with these questions, driving the unicorn and saiyan who shared the residence with him near insane since he wouldn't stop.

"Uuugh! I don't know! For the last time, Spike, you were given to me as an egg. I don't know who found you or where they found you." Twilight had given Spike that as her final answer, in which Syera hoped down from the roof of the building from her midnight meditation and joined them in the bedroom as she slipped through the window.

"Seriously? That's all you know?" Spike asked a bit sad.

"It is, I remember when the test was given to Twilight, she barely hatched you if it weren't for that magical outburst she had when Rainbow Dash unleashed her Sonic Rainboom. I doubt you'd been born" Syera foretold as she stood with her arms crossed in her pajamas. Her tail flicking to the side as she thought on the matter.

"We're sorry, Spike. It's all we know about your origin." Twilight concluded.

"That doesn't tell me anything about who I am! I need answers! I feel like I'm... I'm looking at a complete stranger…." Spike told as he had gotten up from bed and rubbed his claw against his mirror. In which Syera kneeled down besides Spike and looked in the mirror with him.

"Spike, I understand how you feel. I honestly don't know who I am really either… Who my parents were personally, only from the stories I was told from Celestia about them. But I will say this though, if I can't find out who I really am… Then I will find myself by shaping my own Destiny." Syera placed a hand on the dragon's shoulder with a smile as she looked at him in the mirror. "I am certain you'll find out a similar way as I am." Twilight came to the mirror as well with a solution

"Spike, Syera. Why don't we do a little late-night research? See what we can find out on Dragons, where they come from, possibly find a place where you could have come from."

"Really? You'd do that?" Spike asked.

"Of course! I'm sure we can find something." Twilight told with true enthusiasm.

"Oh boy, hitting the books, guess it can't hurt to read a good dictionary or two. Let's do this!" Syera told as the three pair of a Unicorn, Dragon and Saiyan went on a big history course for information on Dragon Origin, the journey was long and tough as the Library started to grow thinner and thinner with it's Catalog.

Into the next morning however…

"Nothing. Nothing in this one either!" Twilight told as she scoured book after book. Looking for an answer.

"Nothing at all about dragons? This is getting ridiculous!" Spike complained as he tossed a book to the side after having no luck at all.

"I know! It's hard to believe, but ponies know next to nothing about dragons." Twilight told on the subject.

"Apparently they're too rare and too scary to try to talk to or study… I can see why, but honestly… That one dragon we spoke to on the mountain with Fluttershy… He seemed scary but he did show emotion like anybody else would… Hmm.. I think we have no choice but to take this research to the next level!" Syera spoke with firm confidence.

"That sounds great Syera… But now that I know dragons show emotion… I guess that means dragons do cry after all…" Spike then proceeded to whimper and tear up a little, rubbing his eyes.

"Spike…" Twilight patted her dragon on the back softly.

"It's okay, Twilight. I'm gonna discover who I am if it's the last thing I do, which I am gonna take Syera's advice. I'mma take this to the next level!" Spike told pumping himself up.

"Alright Spike! Huh… Wait, take it to the next level hmm? What exactly is that in your case Spike?" Syera asked. But before he could answer. Rarity and Rainbow Dash knocked on the door with authority as they came in the golden oak library. this spooking the poor dragon into a small pile of books besides Syera and Twilight.

"Yoo-hoo!" Shouted Rarity

"Hey, guys!" Rainbow Dash said in unison.

"Waugh!" Spike shrieked as he jumped into the pile of books.

"Good morning to you all!" Rarity spoke smiling as she trotted in with Rainbow Dash

"You three wanna join us for breakfast?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"That sounds great. I'm famished as I am sure you are too Syera." Twilight told smiling as she looked at her saiyan sister.

"Are you kidding!? That sounds fantastic! Food now, research later!" Syera told as her stomach growled, eager to have her belly full.

"Count me out. I've gotta get an early start!" Spike told as he rummaged through a few things he had.

"An early start?" Rarity asked in a bit confusion.

"Yes! I'm going on a quest of self-discovery! I need to learn what it means to be a dragon! And the only way I'm gonna do that is to take it to the next level like Syera said!" Spike told in which all eyes fell to Syera for an answer.

"Well yeah I mean I told him that but… What exactly is the next level for you Spike?" Syera asked, in which all eyes were on Spike again.

"I am gonna join the great dragon migration!" Spike told which shocked Rarity, Rainbow Dash and Twilight. But it made Syera light up with a smile.

"What?!?" Twilight, Rarity, Rainbow Dash shouted in surprised.

"So that's the next level eh? Funny I was thinking the same thing-" Syera told in which the three ponies frowned at her. "What? If that's his choice, let him!" Syera told but they went forward and tried to talk the Dragon boy out of his plans.

"Spike, that's nonsense talk! I know that you're a dragon, but those dragons mean business! They're big, and tough, and scary…" Rainbow Dash told firmly but was cut off by Spike with…

"And I'm small, and meek... and I like to wear aprons. See? This is exactly why I need to spend time with them." Spike told packing his stuff up in a blanket and stuffing it on a stick.

"All I'm saying is that you could get hurt." Rainbow Dash was concerned for Spike's safety more than anything. Rarity right behind her with it too.

"Darling, this time I really do have to agree with Rainbow Dash. I don't want those big, ugly, nasty dragons to hurt one little scale on your cutesy-wutesy head!" Rarity spoke still worried as she rubbed his cranium.

"I'm sorry, but I've made up my mind… Good-bye all." Spike told as he marched forward near the door.

"Oh, uh, quick, do something! Stop him before it's too late!" Rarity shrieked at Rainbow Dash who rushed towards Spike to stop him.

"Ngh! Hey! Give it back!" Spike struggled with Rainbow Dash for a brief moment but Syera knew this wasn't right along with Twilight as they both watched this unfold. In which Syera stepped into to break it up.

"Enough!" Syera swatted Rainbow Dash and Spike apart. Making them each fall flat on their butts.

"Whoa! Aaagh!" Spike and Rainbow Dash shrieked. However it was shocking when Syera helped up Spike and gave him his supplies.

"Really?" Spike asked as Syera gave him a nod.

"Don't tell me you think he should go too, Twilight?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Rainbow Dash, if there is one thing I will say to a fellow Warrior, which I see a lot in Spike. He needs to do a little soul searching. Which every warrior needs to do in their life at some point. Better now than never." Syera told with a small smile.

"Yes indeedly so. I couldn't answer his questions, neither could the vast catalog of books in this library either. I understand why he wishes to look elsewhere." Twilight told as she gave the Dragon a firm hug and a smile as she let him go. "I truly believe you need to go on this quest. And we have no right to stop you." Twilight told smiling.

"Hmm… I suppose not." Rarity spoke softly.

"I still say you're nutty, but hey, I've done lots of nutty things-" Rainbow Dash chipped in.

"We know." Syera and the others agreed upon Rainbow's statement. In which she grunted a bit but laughed it off a little.

"Well then, I guess this is it, Spike." Syera told while crossing her arms.

"We can't wait to hear about it when you return champ" Syera told as she waved good-bye to him as did the others.

"Yeah, we hope your trip–"
"Quest… "
"–your quest answers some of your pesky "Who am I?" questions." Rainbow was corrected by Syera and Twilight as they waved good-bye.

"Thanks, everypony. I know it will. Goodbye for now!" Spike told waving back as his journey began, high and low as he followed the dragons on their great migration.

"Goodbye, Spikey-wikey!" Rarity smiled as she waved along with the rest.

"Go get 'em, big guy!" Rainbow shouted out in cheer for him.

"We have faith in you!" Twilight told smiling.

"Make Haste Spike, you don't wanna miss em!" Syera shouted as she stopped waving and smiled.

"We're following him, right?" Rarity whispered to Twilight and Syera.

"We are?" Syera asked a bit confused.

"Of course." Twilight told with a bit of a frown.

"Oh.. Okay, but can we eat first please?!" She asked but then they all fell over in a sigh of disgust but laughed as their bellies all rumbled.

After a huge feasting of the saiyan stuffing her belly full and a few other things, Syera, Rarity, Rainbow Dash and Twilight Sparkle had taken to action. The plan going forward was kind of fool proof yet kinda cheesy, outside of Syera's outfit in the mix that Rarity designed for their plan.

"Rarity… Are you sure I can pass as a dragon? Looking like this?" Syera asked as she was wearing a skin-tight suit with scales decorated in a dark reddish brown with gold laced highlights. She appeared more so of a Magma infused Dragon, her burly look also sold the scaly six pack that her costume had. Adorned with a lot of makeup and such to match her scaly features on her body. Rarity also fashioned her a pair of horns to poke through her hair, only thing is that they were attached to a hairball which nestled up fairly well to her head. Her leggings ended in two pairs of footwear that looked like claws as did her gloves which were skin tight and had claws as well.

Her tail however was an interesting one since it was magma reddish brown with heavy duty diamond encrusted layers. She was able to move it as if it were her normal tail with a bit of extra weight. Also one other thing to help with this outfit. It was near indestructible, fireproof and everything. Last finishing touch was a pair of contacts that basically made her eyes a heavy gold color to full sell the deal that she was indeed a dragon. Her white eyes were now dark red as her inner iris and pupils were now a mix of purple and gold.

"Why of course dear, besides. Considering I had to make this outfit for you since I made one for me and the other two. It be easier so we can all blend in and become much to watch Spike without him noticing we were there all along." The dress designer pony told her saiyan friend, in which in turn Syera agreed with a smile.

"I see, and considering our time. We best get going now." Syera told as she clenched her fists and pounded them against each other. "So let's get on with it girls!"

"Right!" The three ponies then tracked where the dragons were heading to, surprisingly it took much longer than they expected to get their destination, it was far, past snow tundras, badlands and soon deep forests til they reached a stone plateau filled with lava pits and active volcanic activity.

Over the next few days, Spike made his way due west to what seemed like a area where various meadows and grasslands. To then Mountain ranges and forests. Soon the elevation of which Spike climbed was horrendous and rigid. Til eventually he made it all the way to the Dragon Nesting Grounds and Territory, where a lot of Lava flows and Magma vats were ever present with a Volcano that was erect on a separate land mass in the distance.

Spike was excited as he tore off the beard he had gained on the way from the excitement knowing he made it without any help from anyone else. Or so he thought when Syera as well as Twilight, Rainbow and Rare were close behind in their outfits.

Soon Spike came across a group of dragons which seemed around his age and bigger.

"Alright, teenage dragons! Now that's more my speed. And size." Spike cheered out as he ran towards the various amounts of dragons all shapes and sizes. But they definitely seemed like adolescents.

"Come you three, pick up the pace, we're almost to the top, and Spike seems to have found a group of younger dragons that are… errr… around his size." Syera told as she stood atop the mountain and looked around and saw many bigger dragons perched up around the edges, along with some down near the various Magma craters. But Spike was down to the right where big piles of gems covered the ground as some dragons feasted upon them or layed atop them as if they were king of a hill.

"Nrrg.. we're coming Syera, urrg!" Rainbow Dash told as they finally made it up the hill. It seemed Rarity's looks for a dragon really showed as their outfit seemed less than fake to more real. It was a green dragon outfit that had a two tone shade to it, adorned with gems of all colors and two crossed eyed eyes as well as two horns, one yellowish gold, one purple and a ribbon adorned on its neck. If you look closely, two holes in the neck shows Rainbow Dash's eyes and her wings poking out to show that this thing had wings. But sadly Rarity was on the ass end of things when steering this dragon costume.

"I'm telling you, we'll never pass for a real dragon!" Rainbow Dash complained about how it felt waddling in the outfit they shared.

"Oh, pish-posh! This costume is fabulous, one of my finer creations." Rarity told insulted by Rainbow on her fine creativity she made on the Dragon outfit.

"Shh! We'll never pass if they hear three voices coming out of one dragon!" Twilight warned.

"So cut the chatter down to a minimum, we gotta blend in of course. So let's go down, shall we?" Syera told as she slide down the mountain face with ease while the three ponies driving the dragon suit struggled a little. But soon balanced out their footing.

Once they came down, Spike approached the dragons as they were having a small mosh pit of a wrestling ring. A red dragon was wrestling a fat brown one with blue horns and a barbed tail. Seemed the Red one had the upper hand til Spike butted in.

"Um, excuse me?" In which he got their attention as they approached them. "Uh, hi. I'm Spike." He introduced himself to them.
Fume:

"You sure your name is Spike and not Shrimp?!" Meet Fume. A purple and golden dragon with shaggy blonde hair. He seemed to be a run of a mill bully among these guys, as a few of them seemed to be as they all laughed at such a bad joke when name calling somebody.

"No, it's Spike! I'm not, I mean, I'm sure id know my own name…" Spike told a bit shaky.

"You look more like Peewee to me." Clump, the heavy set fat brown dragon with blue horns chimed in with his two cents. As they continued laughing til the red dragon stepped in to what seemed like he was gonna defend him.

"Hey guys, c'mon, seriously. Leave him alone or he might fly away. That is, uh, if he had any wings!" Garble, the red dragon remarked, he seems to be a lead to these band of teenage dragons. In which they all laughed at his joke regarding Spike being wingless.

"You fly in on your mommy's back during the migration?" Clump asked in a mocking fashion.

"Not exactly…" Spike told, but before he could speak further, Fume chimed in with another brash insulting remark.

"No, no, can't you see baby Spike just hatched? I bet he still sucks his claw at night!" He told, regard to the act of teething more or less.

"No, I haven't sucked my claw in months!" Spike told shakily as the them proceeded to suck his thumb claw nervously. But stopped when he was asked a bigger question by Garble.

"Well, if you weren't just hatched, how come we haven't seen you around before?" He asked, it was then Syera stepped in to the fray and spoke up.

"He lives with me, though I told him to get a headstart on me for the migration." Syera told as she placed a hand on her hip, some of the teenage dragons whistled and were awestruck to see a female dragon amongst the ranks of the grunts down below.

"Oh really? And you are who now? Cause we sure as heck haven't seen you around either. You sure you're related?" Garble asked, but Spike gasped when he noticed who this "Dragon" was. In which this "Dragon" looked to Spike and winked with a smile. Then back at Garble with a serious expression.

"The name’s Sojourner Scarlett. But just call me Scar." Syera went with this name cover up fairly well considering she was thinking hard on it, but given her reddish brown and golden nature of her outfit, she seemed like a traveling kind.

"A traveling dragon huh? So you wandered around a lot huh? How did you end up here?" Garble asked a bit intrigued.

"Raising this young one here. And I felt he was ready to make the Migration, as I needed to for many Moons now since I found him abandoned as an egg and raised him as one of my own. Granted we aren't blood related, but family still counts no matter what shape and size you are.

"If that is the case, where did you raise this shrimp?" Fume asked as the others laughed a little which Spike added.

"Oh, well, y'see, we live in Ponyville and–" Spike told before he was cut off.

"Hahaha! Ponyville? That explains it! I knew there was something vaguely pony-ish about you! But you not so much… in fact, you don't even seem dragon like at all, what are you?" Garble asked Syera as he and the others circled Spike and her.

"I'm more Dragon than dragon as it gets, if you wish to prove it, then please tell us how we can convince you we are and not just some ponies in a dragon costume!" Syera told as a joke in which it did cause some laughter between them.
"A pony in a dragon costume...! Hahaha!" Fume laughed while hugging the neck of the dragon outfit Twilight and the others were in.

"Aheh... yeah... hilarious." Twilight told in a burly deep voice to make it fit the memo of their outfit.

It was then Garble raised a claw and the others stopped laughing in which he eyed Syera and Spike.

"Alright, you took the words right outta my mouth about the Dragon costume part. But really let's prove that you are both dragons." Garble told.

"Well... how?" Spike asked.

"By acting like one! Who's up for a little belching contest?" In which three dragons lined up to give their best fiery belch to see who'd be the winner. The dragons cheered them on
First up was Fizzle, the white dragon amongst the group pink horns and underside with a blue flame that was very average. Then was Fume with a green flame that didn't last very long. Then Clump lastly let loose a huge one deep down from his gullet that nearly set the entire place on fire, Syera didn't flinch as her aura protected her from the heat as well as her costume which was fireproof. After doing so everyone cheered the loudest for that one in which he gave a hearty smoked filled cough after letting that one out.

"You think you can beat that, Peewee and Scarla?" Garble told as she shoved both Spike and Syera out in the middle of the fray, in which Syera told.

"I'll go first Spike" in which she channeled energy with a pose and soon sucked in a lot of air and belched even louder and longer than the rest, while shooting a beam of golden energy out of her mouth that lit up the sky and the heavens, piercing the thick foggy smoke from the Volcanoes making the sun shine down. Everyone was awestruck and cheered. But Syera held out her hand to stop them and then pointed to Spike, who gave a nervous gulp.

"Man… I didn't know Syera could do that." Rainbow Dash was amazed. But Rarity and Twilight were kinda grossed out.

"If you call that amazing Rainbow Dash, you are just as unlady like as she is." Rarity scrunched her nose since it was way worse than Clump's belch but much more destructive as they all saw.

"Syera doesn't tend to shoot beams out of her mouth, guess this was a first for everything. But phew, you girls are lucky you don't have to live with Syera at times since she does let loose some heavy ones." Twilight chimed as they whispered amongst each other as the dragons awaited Spike to belch. In which he did but his belch was a small green flame that shot out a letter from Princess Celestia of all times now. In which the Teenage dragons were a bit shocked at this too. Garble picked it up.

"From the desk of Princess Celestia. Dear Spike, please te– Ha! Get this, guys! Spike's pen-pals with a namby-pamby pony princess!" They all laughed as Garble tossed it away but Syera did catch it at fast speed since it could have been an important topic for later, in which she put it away in one of her pouches attached to her waist. Which were pretty well hidden and also Fireproof.

Twilight then approached Syera's side and told, "good catch Syera, but still…how can he just throw that away?! That letter could be something important!" She grumbled in such anger.

"We can't worry about that now, Twilight. We're here to help Spike!" Rainbow Dash told.
"I know, I know! There's no reason to disrespect Princess Celestia that way!" Twilight still grumbled about the issue.

"Don't worry, we'll settle it later. Like Rainbow Dash said, we're here to help Spike in this hodgepodge of a Dragon test. Just lay low. We'll look at the letter later, I have it safely in my back pocket. Thanks to you Rarity." Syera told in which Rarity squeed in happiness that those small pockets came in handy. In which Syera's attention was dragged back over to Garble who gave another test.

"Okay, not bad i dare say. You got one mean burp the both of ya. But….maybe tail wrestling is more you guys' speed." He told which made Spike nervous.

"Yeah!" All the dragons cheered. In which a few competitors gathered and did one match.

"Ready... go!" Garble shouted as two of the other Dragons, Backdraft and Charcoal gave it their best. Sadly Charcoal's skinny self was overpowered by the burly indigo nature of Backdraft and landed flat on his face.

"The winner!" Garble told as he held up the tail of Backdraft. In turn the dragons cheered for him.

"Good old tail wrestling…" Spike told nervously. In which Syera kneeled next to him.

"Don't worry, if anything. I'll give a few of these guys a workout they won't forget. And I'm sure there is one you can get." Syera coached Spike but then Rarity thought to the others.

"We can't let little Spikey-wikey wrestle one of them! He'll get clobbered!" Rarity told on which Rainbow Dash had an idea and they all went along with it.

"I challenge Spike to a tail wrestle!" Twilight told in her deep voice to sound confident against Spike.

"Who's this weirdo?" Garble asked wondering what the heck they were looking at.

"I think he's Crackle's cousin." Fume told as they looked over at "Crackle" who looked just like the costume. Only being a real dragon.

"BWAAGH!" Crackle let out a huge shriek and scratched his side with his Hind leg.

"Oh, that would explain it." In which both Spike and "Crackle's Cousin" got into position for the tail wrestle.

"Ready? Go!" Garble shouted out as the match began, and Spike pulled as hard as he could, but he didn't seem like he was doing til Rainbow Dash gave the cue in which they all toppled over and Spike was declared Victor for this.

"Spike's the winner!" Garble shouted as the dragons cheered for him.

"Nice going, little Spike! Maybe you are a dragon after all" Garble remarked as he gave Spike a boost of confidence.

"Yeah… maybe I am!" Spike told with true boost to his overall moral. Maybe a bit too much. "Alright, who's next?!"

"Whoa slow your roll there little bro. How bout letting your big sis give it a shot?" Syera chimed in with a smirk as she was eager to see what she would be pitted against.

"Alright then, your turn Scar. Show us what you got." Garble told.

"Give me your best and meanest one for my competition!" She told stretching and cracking her knuckles.

"a little cocky, huh? I like that. So how about you wrestle... him!" Garble pointed at a small blue dragon, at least he seemed small til the rest of him showed. In which he had a burly big tail with retractable spikes coming out of it and with a huge change of attitude. In which the Saiyan Dragon accepted gracefully.

"Bring it-" she told firmly with her tail flicking like a whip eager to hit something. In which the two got into position and got ready to wrestle.

"Ready!? Go!!" It was then the bigger tailed dragon gave it his all but for some reason, even for how small Syera was in comparison to tail girth. She was barely flinching as she stood firm with a tight grip with her diamond encrusted tail.

"Come on, that's all you got? Lemme show you how it's done-" in which Syera flexed one good time with a firm grip that make a cracking noise to the dragon's tail and she flung him around, slamming em down onto the ground til eventually she through em into the mountain side.

"Whooooooooa!" Shrieked the big tailed Dragon in which he made a big crater that leaked a lot of Lava. And even exploded with chunks raining down. In which every dragon even the adults were shocked and cheered her on.

"Haha, dude! You flung the hell outta Whip!" Garble told with much laughter as well as the other teens as Whip. The Dragon Syera wrestled. Crawled out of the hole in the mountain that spilled Lava.

"I'd say you and Spike pass this one. But still, you both still haven't proven yourselves as dragons yet, follow me." Garble told as she grabbed hold of Spike and they all climbed to the top of a big gem pile

"So, Spike, Scar, like I said before… you haven't exactly proven yourself as a dragons yet?

"But... we get an A for effort right?" Spike asked nervously.

"Huh, maybe. Let's see how you two do in this next contest." In which he shoved both of them off the pile of gems, Spike didn't land so well but Syera didn't expect it and landed with a cartwheel off the pile and looked up.

"Whaaaaa! Oof! Wha! Oah! Oof!" Spike landed next to Syera, he wasn't hurt, just a little scuffed is all in which Syera was glad he was good. In which Garble then announced the next challenge to every dragon there.

"King of the hoard!" In which every dragon cheered as they climbed the pile of gems to reach the top.

"This is my chance!" Spike shouted as he began to climb.

"Go get em Spike! You got this!" Syera cheered as she was right behind him. Watching his back. In case something came, as was Twilight, Rainbow Dash and Rarity as they were still in the "Crackle's Cousin" disguise. In which they stopped Fume from taking out Spike.

"Not so fast!" Rainbow Dash shouted as they tackled the purple dragon down to the bottom of the pile. Syera on the other hand also offered a moment as she climbed the hill as well.

"I don't think so-!" She shouted as one dragon tried to scoop Spike off the hoard of Jewels and swiped her hand horizontally, knocking them off.

"Haha! King of the ho- whoa!" Spike spoke a little too soon as he slid off the pile of gems and jewels all the way back down. 'Oof! Uh! Nuh! Oof! Nrrrrgg…" he winced in a bit of pain from the fall as Garble stood beside him with Disappointment.

"Looks like this is another fail for you, little Spike. But your sister seems to get it all too well." He pointed up as it was Syera, sitting atop the hoard of gems with one leg crossed over the other and her tail wraped around halfway, letting it droop down her leg as she smiled and waved down at them. In which Spike weakly waved back with a smile and got up, with a few cracks as his body straightened back to normal.

"Best stretch and bend in the best way as you can little Spike, cause I can't wait to watch you fail at lava cannonball, too-!" Garble told with a devious grin, only leaving Spike to gulp nervously.

"Lava Cannonball?" Syera questioned as she heard him talk about it. But all was explained when Garble led them to a lookout that had a big drop leading to a pool of Lava.

"Whoever makes the biggest lava splash is the ultimate dragon!" He told in which he jumped with a molten splash. "Geronimo!" He shouted.

"Gauh!" Spike winced at the lava expelled upwards from the splash, seems it didn't hurt that much, Syera knew the suit she wore was fireproof… but was it lava…

"Spike's on his own this time Syera, I don't think you can jump in there so easily-" Twilight told as a forewarning.

"Yeah I hate to agree. We know you're made of tough stuff but lava sounds like too much!" Rainbow Dash even explained.

"Hmph, not a chance-" Syera told with a sheer expression of eagerness.

"Cannonball!" Shouted Clump as he hurled his bigger self down, making an even bigger splash than before. In which both Syera and Spike shielded themselves from the Lava.

"What's wrong, you two? You afraid the lava will hurt your soft pony hides?" Garble and the others laughed after the fact.

Syera and Spike looked at each other with a nod and serious expression. "Ready set go!" Shouted the both of them as they jumped. However Spike didn't stick the landing and made quite the thwacking flop on his stomach, as he slowly sank.

"Oooh…" They all winced, however. Where was Syera with her dunk? They all looked up and saw her twirling down like a drill and soon she made contact with a huge splash of Lava, however it was so strong it parted the lava apart like a sea of water from one continental shelf to another. In which she landed to the firm bedrock beneath, however she looked up and jumped up to the surface of the lava, standing atop it. While it all settled.

"Dude, that was awesome! I never seen lava split like that before, only in legends!" Garble and the others cheered.

"So… was my belly flop bad compared to that?" Spike asked.

"What? No way! That was awesome too! No pony could live through a belly flop like that!" He chuckled in delight. "You're one tough little dragon." Garble told in approval, as did the other Dragons in the group. Soon they all got out and assembled in two lines away from the lava pit. Garble in the center.

"Spike, by belly flopping so hard, and Scarlet, for driving so fast and so hard as well and splitting the lava in two halves. Both of you have proven yourselves worthy. I hereby dub you 'rookie dragon', and will now perform the initiation ritual." He told as he tapped both their shoulders with another dragon's tail, essentially knighting them like in Princess Celestia's royal guard who achieve high rankings.

"Now let's party! dragon style!" In which they all cheered and the festivities of going hardcore party mode commenced. From more tail wrestling, or just straight up wrestling among themselves. Along with gorging down many gemstones at once. And finally some celebratory fire sprees when they would light the air with smoke and baelfire. Many hours later they all settled down and got comfy for the night.

"Man, was that a great party." Spike told.

"Extremely." Syera added.

"Heh, extreme? Huh, maybe by Ponyville standards. Stick with us, We still have plenty to teach you about being a dragon to you two." Garble added.

"I'm not going anywhere. The way I feel right now, I could hang out with you guys forever." Spike told to his claim. This in turn made Syera stand up and think. But she smiled.

"Hm, if that is your choice Spike. Wouldn't have it any other way." It was then Syera walked away.

"Hey Scarlet, where ya going?" Garble asked a bit confused.

"Nowhere in particular, just going above the mountain side to clear my head, got a bit of… lava stuck in my horns, gotta wash it out." She told which seemed to have him just shrug it off. However Spike felt as if he said something wrong. But he knew he enjoyed it here. In which who was Syera to judge and intervene with his choice?

"Spikey-wikey is going to stay with these awful dragons? Forever?!" Rarity shrieked in horror over such a thought. In which Syera heard them discussing as she walked up to them in their outfit.

"Oh no, this is terrible!" Twilight told in the realization of it all.

"Is it? He's with his kind after all Twilight. Plus, we both agreed that if he is to grow up and become a dragon, then this is the path he must take." Syera told crossing her arms as she thought it over. Rainbow Dash however, didn't think so.

"What we should've done was stop him back at the library when we had the chance!" She retorted.

"I wouldn't say that. He made up his mind and he's happy, would really want to break that Rainbow Dash?" Syera asked with genuine concern.

"I… no! But it's just…" Rainbow Dash couldn't find the words, but Twilight did.

"No, Rainbow Dash, I encouraged him to go, as did Syera. If this is his choice, like Syera said… how could we take it away from him." Twilight asked.

"But this isn't the Spike we all knew!" She shouted in sadness. In which Syera stepped in.

"But this is the Spike we all know now. I can't speak for him, and neither can you Dashie. As hard as it sounds, he makes his own path forward. And that can change, as with where he walks on that line of being a Dragon, and being that with the Ponyfolk like you. Just like I walk with that line with being a Saiyan, a warrior. And being aligned with Ponyfolk kind." Syera clenched her fist, Rarity then spoke.

"I see what you mean Syera. Spike has indeed grown up, hmm I just wish it hadn't been so… soon-!" She spoke with a bit of sadness in her voice.

"What now…?" Rainbow Dash asked in heavy question.

"Syera?" Twilight asked as she was lost for words too.

"We wait, and see what he will do. Given time all he did was not really associate, but merely "participate". Meaning he has to find out what kind of Dragon he really is when compared to the rest." Syera told with a firm smile as she looked back down to Spike and others still sleeping while they convened elsewhere on the mountain overlooking all the teen dragons.

"And if he doesn't know or find out?" Rainbow Dash asked with a bit of hesitation in her voice.

"Then we will be there for him no matter what. Even if he is so far away." Syera said and continued, "Because, even he will need guidance in some form or another."

Many hours past, surprisingly it wasn't very far in the night til Spike was alongside the other Dragons socializing like normal.

"Y'know, Spike, I think you just might be ready for a real dragon raid." Garble told as Syera came back down from the others when she heard the commotion of them stirring.

"Dragon raid? What exactly did you have in mind?" She asked as she came back with her arms crossed.

"Ah Scarlett! Just in time for me to explain. There's a nest full of phoenix eggs in the nearby woods down the mountain, and we're gonna swipe 'em!"

"Swipe 'em? Like… take them?" Spike asked a bit nervously.

"Aren't you totally psyched to go on this raid?" Clump asked as he totally was to do all this.

"Oh yeah, I'm excited. I mean, I'm psyched. Aren't you too Scarlett?" Spike asked Syera as she looked down at him with a smile.

"Yeah… let's go for it." Syera told, in which Garble smirked as well as the two others alongside em.

"Alright then. Let's fly!" He told as him and other two dragons took flight.

"Uh, sorry, guys! I guess I'll meet you back here at the crater! After the whole raid thing's over? We'll totally hang then! Whoahoa!" Clump grabbed hold of Spike. In which Syera rushed behind. But before going down, she met with Rainbow Dash and the others still in costume.

"Oh no, they took Spike! We've gotta go after them!" Rainbow was eager to fly.

"Hold on now, I'll fly on ahead and keep an eye on them. You three hoof it down the mountain…" Syera told with a bit of concern in her voice of the matter.

"What's wrong Syera dear?" Rarity asked after Rainbow slowed her roll.

"Just… after this moment, I think will decide who Spike really is. And… whether we leave him here or take him back home." Syera told softly with a small tear that ran down her face, even though she had a smile on it.

"Syera… don't worry, we're right behind you and Spike. We're just gonna have to hoof it down. Shouldn't be long, let's go girls." Twilight told as they shuffled down the mountain in the outfit while Syera rushed forward, catching up with the three teenage dragons lead by Garble and Spike.

"Alright, looks like you made it after all Scarlett." Garble told.

"Wouldn't miss my little brother's first Raid." Syera smirked with a smile. In which Garble looked over to Spike.

"Okay Spike. Since you're our rookie dragon, you get to lure the parents away from the nest while Scarlett covers the flank and nabs the eggs with us." Garble finished with the plan as they were near the tree of a Phoenix's nest on the far southern tip of this forest. It was Nightfall so they were merely about to bed down.

"Heh... lucky me…" Spike told as he walked out and was nervous. But then shouted out. "Hey, Mr. and Mrs. Phoenix! I was hoping I could have a word with you? Um, I'd, um, like to ask you some questions actually…" he told not so sure of himself as the Phoenix parents just shrugged him off not caring much. Syera was in position with her thumbs up as well as the others, in which Garble hushed spoke

"We haven't got all day, Spike!" In which Spike got serious and grabbed a fairly decent size rock. And hurled it after saying.

"Hey, you bird brains! You hard of hearing? I said come and get me!" He told as he made direct contact by hitting the father Phoenix on the head, leaving a good sized hickey on his head, before him and mother Phoenix cawed out aggressively. Flying after Spike in anger.

"Gahhhhhh!!!!" Shrieked the baby Dragon as he ran for his life. Syera then jumped up to then be in shock. But be awestrucked.

"Awww, the eggs have hatched!" She told as she graciously reached her hand out to the baby Phoenixes which all accepted her care and attention. Some were on her hands and nuzzle the top while another one nipped and pecked at her.

"Hm… ouch!" She laughed. "Feisty ones aren't you."

"Scar! What's the hold up? Huh… what the…?" Garble, Fume and Clump joined the Saiyan in the Dragon outfit and saw the hatchlings.

"The eggs have hatched." Fume told in shock.

"Indeed they did Syera told as she hovered next to the nest in a sort of protective manner.

"Well…What do we do now?" Clump asked. In which Garble chuckled.

"We take the hatchlings, of course!" He smirked. In which this triggered Syera.

"No." Syera said as she looked at them.

"What did you say?" Garble asked. In which he smirked, "going soft on us Scarlett? Cause if so, maybe you should go down with the fire!" In which he swiped his claws against Syera's cheek in a hard fashion which was a huge mistake since she dodged and kicked him away, while the others growled and charged her, in which she jumped away. The hatchlings did as well in which they stopped and wondered where she and the baby Phoenixes went.

"I'm over here-" she told as they rushed her and they fought. Trading kicks and punches for a moment. Before Garble saw a chance after he was done getting his senses back to charge to the baby phoenixes, however they were very nimble. Each move only led him to tie himself into a scaly meat-pretzel. Making him fall and break their nest. Syera saw this as they flew away, in which she grabbed Fume and headbutted him against Clump's forehead, dazing them for a moment as Syera charged after the Phoenix babies and lead them to safety. Mainly towards their mom and pop. Which were still chasing Spike.

"Nnnnrrg.. Get 'em!" Garble told angrily as he sped forward with his goons by his side. Spike was still running but the call of the babies behind the parents caught their attention as they sped past them, Syera grabbed Spike and then 180'd facing the parents and babies. Showing they aren't a threat, but the others are. In which they understood, however the father Phoenix had one last thing to settle with Spike since he through a rock at his head, in which the Phoenix pecked a hard hickey in his cranium in the same spot the rock landed on his.

"Ouch…" Spike said in a bit of pain.

"Now you’re even, but we got a bigger problem on our hands." Syera told as she pointed as the other three dragons were closing in.

"Not gonna get away this time! Grraghh!" They all charged but Syera, Spike and the Phoenixes flew the opposite direction quickly with a snap. But those dragons didn't give up, one of the bumped Syera in which Spike fell off Syera's back.

"Gahhhhhahaha!!!" He shouted.

"Spike! Hmm… okay, time to help them escape." Syera then looked at both Phoenix parents and nodded, flying above the treeline and Syera mimicked the Phoenix's move.

"Solar Flare!" Syera shouted, which created a huge beam of coherent light that was nearly the equivalent to staring into the sun. She closed her eyes after the flash was a success thanks to the Phoenixes also doing one which lit up the whole forest as if Daybreak struck early. Making the three Dragons crash into a tree. Afterwards the Saiyan was thanked by the two Phoenix parents and soon flew far away with their five young chicks.

"Nnngh, they got away! Dammit-!" Garble told as the tree came crashing down due to their weight. In which Syera chuckled, but she remembered she lost Spike. But she could sense his energy nearby the old Phoenix Nest. Instant Transmission, gotta love it. Syera teleported over to Spike after the whole shindig was done.

"Spike, you okay?" Syera asked.

"Hmmm… yeah, what about the Phoenix hatchlings and parents?" Spike asked her.

"Gone, far far away by now. Blinded the three dragons from before and boosted off in the horizon in a fiery flight." Syera told as she stretched but then noticed something in Spike's clutches.

"Hey, is that…?" Syera pointed.

"A Phoenix egg, yup yup. I found it below the tree nest ruins. One of them must have not have hatched… I feel bad for the poor thing inside." Spike told. In which Syera nodded with a small hum.

"Hmm… it's too late to return it, plus, I can't sense their energy, they're long gone and off the grid." Syera told as they stood in the forest. In which Garble caught up to them with the other two dragons.

"They got away! No thanks to you Scarlett, what was that back there?" He asked in anger.

"We came for eggs, not live specimens. Besides, it's taboo to go after Phoenixes for sport if you didn't know." Syera spoke with her arms crossed.

"Yeah whatever, you get all soft on us like that again and you'll regret it." Garble told in anger in which Syera locked her green snake like eyes at his and hissed.

"Try me, cause I'll say the same and much worse in regrets." Syera told in which Garble growled but his buddies calmed him down.

"Trust me, it ain't worth this tussle Garb" Fume said with a bit of fear.

"Yeah, don't take her lightly, Scar is pretty dang strong." Clump spoke out to Garble.

"Hey! You stole an egg?" Garble asked Spike

"Uh… yes, yes I did. It was shortly after Syera grabbed me but lost me when you bumped into us." Spike told with a bit of anger

"Oh? Well, I guess the raid wasn't a total waste after all. And you survived that fall to reep the rewards which is good." In which Clump and Fume both cheered with him.

"Nice going, Spike." Garble commented on his success.

"Well, what are you waiting for, Spike? Smash it!" Clump told in which Syera hesitated and got a bit wide eyed.

"Smash the egg? That's what you were gonna do with them?" Spike asked a bit shocked.

"Yeah! What else would we do with em?" Garble told as if it was common to do this.

"Yeah, throw it on the ground as hard as you can!" Fume told in which they all chanted in unison "Smash it! Smash it! Smash it! Smash it! Smash it!"

"Spike…" Syera told with her hand out to him in worriedness fashion.

"No! It's just a defenseless egg, like I was! And I'm not gonna let you convince me to hurt it!" Spike told with a bit of firmness in his voice.

"W-what did you say?" Garble asked in a bit of anger, in which Syera stepped in again.

"You hard of hearing? He said no." She told with she readied herself for another fight.

"That's right…no means no. Get that through your thick skull Garble." Spike told protecting the egg.

"Going soft again eh? Maybe you arent dragon material after all. And I will say this. No one, and I mean says no to me…" he growled with the other dragons that closed in for the attack.

However they backed up into something, it wasn't a tree but… another Dragon. Or so they thought.

"Craggles' Cousin?" Fume asked confused.

"Not exactly" Syera smirked as she looked at the costume fly off to the side revealing Twilight, Rainbow and Rarity striking fighting poses.

"Nopony's gonna lay a claw on him or Syera!" Rainbow shouted.

"That's right!" Twilight told backing her up.

"Fighting's not really my thing, I'm more into fashion, but I'll rip you to pieces if you touch one scale on Spike's cute little head and Syera’s magnificent physique!" Rarity lastly told in which they all laughed. But it wasn't til Syera unmasked herself and show them her true form. Stripping off the scaley skin, horns and undergarments and boots. Now showed Syera in her gi ready to fight in a flash, she turned Super Saiyan.

"Whoa… if you aren't a dragon… what are you?" Fume asked a bit shocked.

"Wouldn't you like to know Dragon-boy…"

"Ooh, so scary, hehe! Spike, are these namby-pamby ponies your friends? And I assume Scarlett, this Syera you call her. Is as well? Well a hair color change isn't gonna scare us off so easily." Garble chuckled.

"Yes, they're better friends than you could ever be. And you best not underestimate Syera's abilities in combat even if she isnt a dragon. Now, if you don't back off, you'll see what us ponies and…" Spike looked back at Syera as she said.

"Saiayns" which Spike finished.

"Yeah, Saiyans, do when confronted by a huge group of jerky dragons." He finished as he pokes Garble on the chest a few times as he looked up to him. In which he came to Eye Level.

"Oh, yeah?" He snorted in aggression "What's that?" He asked in anger.

"Run away!" Spike told as he and the others ran. In which Syera shrugged and followed Suit.

"Nrrgg, get them!" Garble shouted as they charged after them.

"Nyuh!" Twilight was successful at teleporting all them away except for Syera who sped off sharply up in which the dragons looked but it was too late for them to pull up and they went face first into another tree.

"Heh, I'd like to stay and chat boys, but you seem pretty Woodstocked at the moment. Bye." Syera told as she used Instant Transmission to join her dragon and ponyfolk friends. In which Garble just shouted in anger as they were stuck in yet another tree.

"Phew, that was a close one. Thanks, you guys." Spike said after they all tumbles over after Twilight's spell brought them back to the outskirts of Ponyville near the Everfree Forest entrance.

"Of course. What are friends for?" Twilight told.

"You're more than friends. You're my family." In which they all grouped hugged. But paused. "Wait, where's Syera?"

As if right on queue, Syera was right behind them smiling as they heard the teleportation noise she makes when appearing. Holding both her costume and the one Rarity made for her, Twilight and Rainbow Dash.

"Right here, and we're doing a group hug now I see?" Syera asked as she set the costumes aside.

"Yup, cause you're all more than friends to me, but family." In which ended with Spike being hugged by all them together.

"Ohh.. Spikey-wikey, and you too Syera. Mwah." She gave Spike and Syera both a kiss on the forehead.

"Awh shucks Rare" Syera told as she blushed a little bit like Spike did as well but Spike more so as his heart rate went sky-high. Soon the group returned to Ponyville, and they all deserved a night's well rest at what they know, as "Home".

The next morning, Syera came across Spike writing a letter to the Princess about his experience.
Rarity: [squeaks]

"Dear Princess Celestia,
Seeing the great dragon migration made me wonder what it meant to be a dragon. But now I realize that who I am is not the same as what I am. I may have been born a dragon, but Equestria and my pony friends have taught me how to be kind, loyal, and true! As well as to know where I truly belong, to be proud to call Ponyville my home, and to have my pony and Saiyan friends as my family.
Yours truly,
Spike" he ended it off.

"Sounds ready to send to me." Syera told standing beside him.

"Uh-huh." In which he put the quill down. But saw something magical, the Phoenix Egg, it's hatching! And out came a healthy Phoenix chick, chirping away.

"Mostletophe, it's a Boy!" Syera told cheering. As the young chick wrapped himself in Spike's grasp.

"Aww." He chuckled as he thought of a name that suited him. "Welcome to the family, Peewee! Stick with me. I've got plenty to teach you about being not only a Dragon or a pony. But a true true friend." Spike told with a smile.

"Yeah, and Peewee eh? That's definitely fitting, right Peewee?" Syera asked as she stuck her finger out to him, in which she got a small bite from him. "Youch! Yeah… he's definitely a Phoenix alright, and a bit of a prankster."

In which both Syera and Spike laughed wholeheartedly as they left the Library, Spike with Peewee on his shoulder as Syera had her own pet bird, Tori on her shoulder as well. In which they seemed to behave until Peewee and Tori chased each other back and forth.

"Hmm, what's next?" Syera asked.

"Only the future knows it seems when it comes to knowing your destiny, as you told me Syera." Spike told as they looked out on Ponyville with their feathered companions, wondering what lies ahead.
