//------------------------------// // BONUS Chapter: Introduction. // Story: Dragonball MLP // by ultrapoknee //------------------------------// [Intro.] Deep within the expansive recesses of space, a spacecraft moves to an unknown location. Inside the ship, Goku sits in a meditative position before he springs up and begins practicing his katas. He stops mid kick when a monitor appears from the ceiling. Dr. Briefs is screen as he looked frantic. Moments later, the alarm activated as the interior shifted red. A mysterious electrical storm encompasses the ship. Goku and Dr. Briefs glance around the vessel in confusion before a sudden bout of turbulence hit. Dr. Brief's monitor shift to an image of a meteor field. Goku rushes over to the controls only to careen into a nearby planet. Within the town of Ponyville, Spike was sitting on a bench in a silly costume while gazing at the meteor shower. A particular meteor catches his attention as he follows it over the Everfree Forest treeline. The dragon lets out a gasp when he spies the CMC's and the Sugar Lumps going into the forest before quickly giving chase. Inside the forest, Spike slams against a tree covered in blood while a monstrous ghoul stalks toward him and the fillies. The beast makes a lunge toward them until Goku intercepts it by driving his elbow into the stomach of the creature, thus disabling it. Goku turns around and shot the baffled dragon and awestruck fillies a gleeful smile while Spike passes out. Back inside Goku's ship, the ponies take control of the spacecraft as it shoots into the sky moments before an ensemble royal guard, the elements of harmony and the princesses came into view. The vessel zig-zags over several locations - such as Ponyville, Manehattan, and Canterlot - before looping over the moon and returning to Equis. Back on the surface, Goku fends several guards as Princess Luna, and Princess Celestia joins the fray. The three warriors enter a power struggle with their beams before the princesses break away and a rainbow light shroud the area. The light fades out, and colorful confetti hits the floor as Pinkie drags Goku to a party table with the other elements. Later, Goku is walking to Sweet Apple Acres with the CMC and Sugar Lumps using him as transport. The apple family waves them over as Applejack shows the Saiyan warrior how to buck apple trees. Goku kicks the tree but inadvertently chops it in half. Granny Smith and the fillies all laugh while Big Mac and Applejack gawk at the display of strength. The day shifts to night as Twilight giddily jump on her hoofs with a quill and parchment while discussing something with Dr. Briefs. In the background, Rarity was taking Goku's measurements as she brings out a pair of scissors. She dons an evil smile while Goku starts to sweat. Outside of Fluttershy's cottage, Goku is carrying a basket of food with the butter-yellow pegasus following beside him. A massive bear blocks their path and roars in their faces. Fluttershy waggles her finger in a scolding manner as Goku offers the bear an apple and a cheerful small. More animals join in to eat as they crowd around the pair. A white rabbit pops out of Goku's hair with a carrot. Before it could eat it, a rainbow blur knocks him out of Goku's hair. Rainbow Dash hovers in the air with a cocky smile directed at Goku. Goku returns the smile and the two shoot off into the sky. The two perform many aerial stunts and tricks before flying through a finish line with many of the Ponyvill residents cheering for them. Spike is walking around aimlessly as he ponders his self worth until Goku rest a hand on his shoulder. The drake looks surprised while Scootaloo pears out from behind Goku's shoulder with a smirk. The trio enters the Everfree as a manticore chases after them. Spike and Scootaloo stand atop a cliffside, staring off into the distance, wearing Goku's Gi. Goku flies overhead, gesturing towards his pupils. The two nod and dive into the air after him. In the next instance, Radiant Hope pulls down her hood as she gazes at the Crystal Empire. She looks behind to find Chrysalis walking up with a horde of changelings descending toward the empire. King Sombra walks out a mass of shadows with several eyes glaring behind him. He lets a roar as he morphs from a stallion to a Saiyan and charges at Goku. The two warriors clash in a flurry of blows before the shadow from before engulfs where the form of Rabia glares into Sombra who regressed to the form of a colt. Moments later, a filly Radiant Hope burst through the umbrum and reaches for him with an outstretched arm. Rabia opens her jaws to swallow them both, but Goku leaps into the air with a Spirit Bomb at the ready. He hurls the attack at Rabia, and the umbrum fades away in the aftermath. Goku, Spike, and Scootaloo fly overhead before they land in front of a crowd of ponies in Ponyvile. Spike stands at Goku'sright side as Ember and the elements look ahead. Scootaloo stays on his right with the rest of her friends. Celestia Luna, Cadence, and Shining Armor stand behind Goku as Radiant Hope, King Sombra, and Chrysalis flanks them. Goku looks ahead with his pupil as a blazing red aura erupts from his body.
