//------------------------------// // Chapter 9: Forgiveness... // Story: Equestria's Divine God // by ShirtMechanic //------------------------------// Chapter 9: Forgiveness... 3rd Pov It had been a few hours since the disappearance of Goku Black. The populace of ponyville didn't much care for it though, think it was good he disappeared. They all thought he was a menace to Equestria since he threatens to kill Nightmare Moon. All except for a certain group of ponies. Princess Luna had felt responsible for the disappearance of the Saiyan, saying that it was her fault since Nightmare Moon tricked her in the first place. Princess Celestia had tried to comfort her little sister but did little progress. The mane 6 was also worried about where Black had gone off to. Rainbow and Applejack both thought that since Nightmare Moon was in his mind, he could've been sent to the moon. Fluttershy and Rarity had thought the worse had happened. And Twilight and Pinkie both thought that he was teleported somewhere in Equestria due to the Elements of Harmony. But after the defeat of Nightmare Moon, ponyville had set up a party for the return of Princess Luna, which cheered her up a little bit. The ponies finally no longer feared the night princess but welcomed her with open arms. Princess Celestia was extremely proud of her little ponies for they saw who Luna really is. It was all going fine until a storm had rolled into ponyville, confusing the populace. The pegasus had tried to move it, but couldn't for when they got close, a lightning bolt would stop them in their tracks. Princess Celestia and Princess Luna watched in curiosity and worry. "What do you think it is Luna?" Celestia had asked her sister. Watching the storm closely with narrowed eyes. "We don't know tia, it's completely unknown to us," Luna explained. She had many thoughts run throughout her head, thinking it was Black. She was then broken from her thoughts as the storm began to become more violent. The clouds became a sickly green, almost like smog. The lightning began to focus on the center of the storm as a swirling vortex appeared above the small town. Ponies began to panic and run to their homes for shelter. Princess Luna got into a defensive stance, preparing for the worst. Then the mother of all Lightning stuck the sky as the vortex broke apart, reviling three figures. One with dark clothing and spiky black hair. Another one was wearing a grey suit and was holding a staff with a sphere at the top of it. He headlight blue skin and long white spiky hair. And the last one was Nightmare Moon! The last one surprised the whole group. Celestia and Luna were royally pissed, and the mane 6 was about to go grab the elements. But they were all stopped by a loud and familiar voice. "That's enough!" The Saiyan said, slowly descending onto the ground, by the time he got to the ground, he noticed Nightmare wasn't feeling so good. He saw her shakily descending onto the ground. But at the last few feet, she completely lost control and was falling until Black had caught her bridal style. He saw the dark alicorn had passed out, her breathing had slowed down quickly. Carefully, he set the Nightmare onto the ground, setting her down on the dirt softly. He stood to his full height and looked to the group of ponies consisting of the royal sisters and the main 6. He waved at them with a smile on his face, "Hey guys, how have you've been lately?" "Black," Luna looked towards Nightmare with disgust, "Why is she still here!" Black let out a heavy sigh, rubbing his temples. "I knew this was going to happen," Black groaned, "Listen, I know it's not pleasant to see her, but I'm going to need you all to understand what happened the last four hours and where I've been." Black then went onto explain what happened to him and where he went. From how he's a displaced, arriving in another universe, meeting a demon jackass, meeting a monster that can take any power from whatever he eats, him getting magic, angels, meeting another Luna and Celestia, etc... This had shocked everypony present. especially the royal sisters. Luna was about to say something but was cut off by Black's angel assistant, Wazu. "I know everypony here has questions, but let's put them on hold for now, we need to get Nightmare out of the open." Wazu calmly said, everyone, begrudgingly agreed. "Let's bring her to the library, that should be a safe place since almost nobody goes there anyway." Black commented, Twilight looking at him with an irritated look, making the Saiyan chuckle, "What, it's true..." Black went over to the unconscious Alicorn and picked her up. "I'll meet ya'll there." Black then put two fingers to his head and vanished from thin air. This surprised the mane 6, except for the royal sisters, who knew of that techie. The Saiyan had used the Instant Transmission techie. "Come on my little ponies," Celestia said as she started to walk towards the treehouse, everypony following behind her. They arrived five minutes later, opening the door to the library to see Black sitting on the couch with a cup of tea in his hand. "Black, where is she?" Celestia asked hesitantly. Black took a sip from his tea and set the cup down onto the coffee table. "She's in the room I stayed in last night, she'll be out for a few hours. After she wakes up, she'll be hungry. Universe hopping makes people or ponies sick, but not for me." Black explained. He gestured to the remaining couches and chairs, signaling for everypony to sit. Luna sat next to him while everypony else sat at the other chairs. "What are we going to do with her, put her in the dungeons?" Rainbow asked the Saiyan, throwing her fist into an open hand. He rolls his eyes at this and takes another sip of his tea. "No, not after the offer I just gave her," Black explained. "Everyone deserves a second chance, even the worst of our enemies.." Black finished his tea and set the cup back onto the table. "In exchange for a second chance at life, she helped me create a magic pool inside me." "So you can use magic now?" Twilight asked, scratching her forehead. Black nodded and put an open hand in front of him. Wincing in pain, he managed to conger up a small orb of magic in his hand, but not for long. As fast as the ball of magic appeared, it had disappeared a second later. Leaving the Saiyan breathing heavily, Luna put a hand on my back. "Are you ok?" Luna asked in worry. He looks up to her with a small smile, exhaustion on his face. "Don't worry Lulu, I'm alright." Luna blushes at the nickname, making Celestia giggle. "But there are more important matters right now regarding the being resting upstairs," I say, pointing behind me. "Yea, why is she still here!" Rainbow Dash says abruptly, getting a smack on the back of her head by Applejack. "When I had turned Rose, she transferred herself into my body, hoping to wake him..." he says with distaste, confusing the mane 6. but the royal sisters knew. "Who is 'him'?" Applejack questioned, quirking an eyebrow, getting a nod from everypony. "Not even you told us who he was Black, all you told us was a being was taking over your body and mind." Princess Celestia commented, getting a heavy sigh from the Saiyan. "For good reasons," Black said as he pointed an open hand at his cup of tea. He then proceeded to refill his cup of tea using his powers of the Supreme Kais, surprising the ponies. "He is a being of pure evil, his mind twisted to thoughts that make me want to puke," Black said as he took a sip of tea. "What I'm about to tell you all will be something you'll never be able to get out of your head, I will understand if you don't want to hear it." The mane 6 look at each other with hesitation, while the royal sisters looked at each other with a nod. "I-i don't w-want to." Fluttershy whimpered. Black looked to the butter-colored pegasus with sympathy but put on a sad smile. "Anypony else?" Black asked, but the rest of them shook their head, surprising the Saiyan a little. "Alright, Twilight, do you have a place Fluttershy can go to?" Twilight nodded, getting up from her seat and lead Fluttershy to a spare room upstairs. Black watched her lead the shy pegasus up the stairs slowly. "Black?" Luna asked the Saiyan, Black looking towards the alicorn with a quirked brow. "Is it alright if we talk, somewhere private?" She asked. Black looked confused, but nodded his head, both of them getting up and walked towards the kitchen. After walking into the kitchen, the Saiyan turned around and was about to say something, but was cut off when Luna had hugged Black unexpectedly. She had started to sob into Blacks gi, her painful tears reaching the Saiyan's ears. Black frowned at this and slowly hugged the crying alicorn back. They had stood there for a few moments, but never letting each other go. "I-I'm so sorry..." Luna said, her voice is muffled. "I've hurt you, I-I've hurt Tia, I-I've..." She was cut off when I backed out of the hug and put a finger to her snout. "No," Black said sternly, he looked into Luna's eyes, "Don't say that, it was not your fault Lulu." He put his hands on her shoulders with a sad look. "It wasn't your fault, Nightmare Moon baited you and used me being turned into stone as an opportunity to take you." "B-but I've hurt s-so many ponies..." Luna sobbed, "How a-am I going to r-regain their trust..." "With time," Black said simply. "Those ponies of the past are no longer here. From what I've heard from Celly, the ponies love your night." Black said with a smile. He hugged her again, holding on tighter. He lightly placed a kiss on Luna's head, surprising the alicorn, but barred her head into his chest. They stood there for a few minutes before pulling back with sad smiles. The two shortly came back a took their seat on the couch together. Twilight had pulled out a notepad and a pen, but as she was about to write something down, Black stopped her. "Twilight, I don't want you taking notes from this. Please don't." Black asked with pleading eyes. Twilight nodded and put her hands on her lap, waiting for the Saiyan to continue. Well, here goes nothing..., "Before I tell you who he is, you've got to understand from where I'm from, things are much different. Where I'm from, there are a total of 12 universes that are overwatched by a small child known as the Omni-King." Black emphasizes his point by putting out a hand, using his ki to make 12 orbs with a small child in the middle of it. The ponies looked confused and surprised at what I showed them. "Are you sure he looks like that, he doesn't look important?" Rainbow casually points out, making Black quickly lung forwards, covering Dash's mouth with his free hand. He looked absolutely terrified, "Don't say that ever again if you want to live..." Black quickly says, making Rainbow nod rapidly. Black went back to his seat and calmed down. "Sorry about that, it's just that the Omni-King is the strongest being in the multiverse, hell he created it, he won't hesitate to destroy you if you annoy him." The Saiyan stated, making everypony's metaphorically drop. "Anyway, we're getting off-topic." Black clenches his fist, making the ki copy dissipate into thin are. He opens his hand again, creating another ki copy, but of someone different. He had light green skin with a white tall spiky mohawk. He had grey dull eyes with an orange potara earing on his ears. He wore a dark grey gi with purple sleeves, dark blue baggy pants, white boots, and a light blue belt. He wore a mischievous grin on his face as his ki copy looked at everypony. "This is Zamasu, the Supreme Kai in training from the 10th Universe."
