As Strawberry's condition worsens, Applejack resolves to do one last thing.

Originally written for Quills and Sofas Speedwriting’s Strawberry Sunrise contest, it has since been expanded to this.

We all know of how Bardock attempted to stop Frieza but still suffered the same fate of Planet Vegeta, resulting in only his sons, Vegeta, Nappa, and Tarble being the only survivors of the saiyan race.

But what if they weren't the only ones to survive? What if, before he tried to save his race, Bardock at least managed to warn the one saiyan he knew for a fact would listen to him? And what if this saiyan managed to escape only to wake up in a world inhabited by anthropomorphic ponies and other creatures?

Through this tale, learn how Gine, the mother of Goku, will learn to live amongst Twilight and her friends, while also learning of what she will accomplish.

Spike will be aged up in this due to possibility of anything mature thrown in later. He'll be 18, and while he's not in the show, he'll be older than most of the students if not the same age as some of them.

The two Zeno Samas the kings of everything throughout the multiverse had announced that it was finally time for Beerus the God of Destruction to finally retire so that they can choose a new God of Destruction for Universe 7. Beerus has been called to Lord Zeno Sama's Palace in preparation for his "Honorable Exile". Beerus will be allowed to keep all of his powers but he will be sent to a pocket universe which holds the world of Equestria. Beerus makes a small request that Whis will accompany him and serve the purple cat in his retirement but unfortunately gets his request denied by the Past and Future Zeno deity. Whis needs to stay behind to find and train another candidate for the role of being the next "God of Destruction" of Universe 7. After a few words and goodbyes, Beerus gets sent by Zeno Sama to Equestria and in Canterlot of all places during the preparation for the first Friendship Festival.
