//------------------------------// // Volume II: The return of the lord // Story: Lynx; The Saiyan Warrior of Equestria // by AlienXtreme //------------------------------// It was a normal day in Equestria, Lynx is finally fully recovered from his battle with Lira, and is flying towards Ponyvile to make a surprise. However as he travelling from Canterlot, he noticed something...chaotic. "What the? A pink cloud? Hold up." He talks to himself. He focuses his inner energy and bursts his aura. Such an action has the result of him being able to fly towards whatever direction he wants in mere seconds. He dashes at the cloud and tries to destroy it with a spinning kick. However his boot stuck on it, the moment he applied pressure. "What? This thing is pink AND sticky?! I don't remember Rainbow mentioning any clouds like these?" Lynx continues to talk to himself, as he burst his aura once again to free himself. "Maybe I should go and check on the girls, probably they know what is going right now." He closes his eyes, put the pointing and middle finger in his forehead and searches for Twilight's energy, since it is the highest out of the six. He eventually succeeded and teleports to them. Meanwhile in Sweet Apple Acers, there are way more pink clouds in the sky and starts rain chocolate milk, but that's not all. Every single corn in the farm is starting to become pop corn. Rainbow is trying clear the sky from the clouds, Applejack is cleaning the pop corn with the use of a shovel and Pinkie is helping her by eating the pop corn. "Don't worry, everypony , I found a new spell that will fix everything." Twilight uses a spell that restores everything, but it doesn't work. Everything is the same. The same pink c louds that also have chocolate milk rain. The same transformation from corn to pop corn. "My failsafe spell...failed?" Twilight says, surprised. "What do we do now?" "Give up?" Spike suggests. Lynx appears right next to them in a blink of an eye. "Lynx!" Everypony say, as they run to him. "Greetings!" He bows to greet them, the right way of greeting for a royal. The ponies falls at him as a way of hugging. "Why did you come soon? I told you to rest!" Applejack yells at him and Lynx grins in response. "First of all, that is kind of ironic coming from you, AJ. And second, the doctors said it will take only a month, and it has been a little more than month since the Gala." Lynx gently gets them off him and gets up. "So what do you think is happening right here?" Lynx points at the chaos in the farm. "I don't know, but we gotta do something...Got it!" Twilight finds a solution, with a face full of joy. "Rainbow dash, can you corral all those clouds in one corner of the sky?" Rainbow salutes in response to Twilight's question. She zips and gather all the clouds in one corner of the sky per Twilight's request. "Lynx and Applejack, I need you to those high-strung storm clouds down to earth." Applejack uses her wip and brings them down to the ground, with the help of Lynx, who is bringing them down to the ground with the use of a dive kick, giving her a little boost. Twilight whispers her plan to Fluttershy. "Oh, dear. I hope that none of the animals see these delicious chocolate-filled cotton candy clouds. I'd hate to have to share them" Fluttershy speaks outloud. Meanwhile Applejack and Lynx the cloud to a fence of the farm. "Ah! You and me both, sister." Pinkie munches. The animals rush at the cotton candy clouds and start eating, blocking Pinkie path to do the same. "Hey!" "Hey, when y'all are done with that, feel free to have some popcorn for dessert." Applejack says, as all of the group gather in one place. "So cotton candy clouds, that rain chocolate milk. Heh...No wonder Pinkie likes them so much." Lynx lands to the ground and cleans the cotton candy that was stuck in his left boot. "You see, Spike? You should never give up. There's nothing we can't overcome if we all work together." Spike suddenly burps and a scroll from Princess Celestia has appeared. Twilight slowly picks it up with the use of her levitation spell. She opens it up and starts reading the Princess' scroll. "Come on, guys. Princess Celestia wants to see us all in Canterlot immediately." She gaps. "Alright then, everyone grab on me now." Lynx does his Instant Transmission pose once again. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Meanwhile in the Canterlot Castle, Celestia is waiting nervously for them. When all of a sudden they appear in the blink of an eye. "Princess Celestia, we came as fast as we could." "Thank you all." "Is this about the weather and the animals' weird behavior? What's happening out there? Why isn't my magic working? Is there...?" Twilight is ready to freak out, until Lynx pads her in the back. "Calm down, Twilight. Whatever it is, we can fix this, you have the Legendary Super Saiyan on your side!" Lynx points at himself with his thumb and smirks. "R-right...follow me." Moments later, they are walking towards a strange room. "I've called you here for a matter of great importance. It seems an old foe of mine, someone I thought I had defeated long ago, has returned. His name is Discord." As they hear Celestia's speech, Lynx is starting to look around at the stained windows until he notices a weird creature, that looks like a fusion between four types of animals, possibly even more. "Discord is the mischievous spirit of chaos and disharmony. Before my sister and I stood up to him, he ruled Equestria in an eternal state of unrest and unhappiness. Me and Luna saw how much ponies had suffered during his rule, so after discovering the Elements of Harmony, we combined our powers and rose up against him. Turning him to stone!" They continue walking towards the room. "Meh...Kind of a lame solution, if you ask me." Lynx comments on her. "I thought the spell would keep him contained forever, but since Luna and I are no longer connected to the elements, the spell has been broken." They finally stop at the hallway. "What is this place?" Rainbow asks, pointing at the door in front of them. "This is the Canterlot Tower, where the elements are kept inside, since all of you recovered them." Celestia opens the door and a purple box with golden details is revealed. "I need you to wield the elements of harmony once again and stop Discord, before he thrusts all of Equestria into eternal chaos." She adds. "But why us? Why don't you..." Twilight is about ask, but Pinkie stops her. "Hey, look! We're famous!" Pinkie points at two stained glasses: The one shows the 6 ponies we all know and love, defeating Princess Luna who had fallen to her own ego turning into Nightmare Moon. And the other one shows our beloved Saiyan prince in his Super Saiyan form with his arms thrown open just like when he used his Final Flash, rising above Lira, and a mighty red dragon behind him. "No way." Lynx whispers. "You seven showed the full potential of the elements and even gone beyond of that, by harnessing the magic of your friendship to beat a mighty foe." Celestia explains to Twilight. "Although Luna and I once wielded the elements, it is you who now control their power, and it is YOU who must defeat Discord." She adds. She opens the box, where the elements of harmony are secured but something is wrong. The box is completely empty. Everyone is left speechless with mouths wide open. "Oh, well. If anyone needs me, I'll be outside in the chocolate puddles with a giant swizzle straw." Pinkie walks towards the window. "No it can't be that chamber is protected by a powerful spell that only I can break. This doesn't makes sense." Celestia starts mumbling until she hears a maniacal laughter. "Make sense? Oh, what fun is there in making sense?" A strange voice echoed through the entire hallway. "Discord...Show yourself!" Celestia says, frustrated, knowing full well to who she is talking to right now. "Hahaha...Did you miss me, Celestia? I've missed you." On a stained glass window, a drawn Discord is starting to move and talk as well. "It's quite lonely being encased in stone, but you wouldn't know that, would you, because I don't turn ponies into stone." He starts to move around from stained glass to stained glass. "ENOUGH! What have you done with the elements of harmony?" Celestia is starting to lose her cool. "Well, I just borrowed them for teensy little while." "You'll never get away with this, Discord." "Oh, I'd forgotten how grim you can be, Celestia. It's really quite boring." "HEY! NOPONY INSULTS THE PRINCESS!" Rainbow zips at the stained, where Discord is sitting. "Ugh!" But it only resulted on her getting slammed in the glass. "Oh, you must be Rainbow Dash, famed for her loyalty, the element of harmony you represent." "That's right! I'll always be loyal to the princess!" "We'll see about that." Discord disappears from the glass. "So you know who we are, big deal." Applejack disses him. "Oh I know way more than that, honest Applejack." Discord appears once again in another glass. "You seem to know all of our strengths too." Twilight comments on him. "Yes, Twilight Sparkle and yours is the most powerful and elusive element...Magic. Fluttershy is kindness, Rarity is generosity and Pinkie Pie's is a personal favorite of mine...laughter." Twilight notices that Pinkie giggles. "Pinkie!" "Hahaha...he's dancing on you head!" Discord is shown to dance on a portraited Twilight's head. "Enough with those cowardly tricks! Just show yourself so I can pulverize until there's nothing left!" Lynx is laying on the stained glass, that shows himself, with his arms crossed and his eyes closed. 'What is with this guy? His energy so chaotic a cannot feel anything else.' "Well hello there, Prince Lynx the fourth." Discord appears on Lynx's stained glass, and catches the prince's attention with what he said. Lynx's eyes are now wide open. "I've done my homework on you. You are the one that I am the most interested in, since there's not much information about your element...Bravery." He adds. "But in all honesty, you Saiyans are such barbarians." "What did you just say?" Lynx asks, a little frustrated. "Oh please, you are acting like you are the prince of the so called ultimate warrior race, but in all honesty you are just spoiled royal of a dead race." Lynx takes a deep breath and ignores him. "Stop stalling, Discord. What have you done with the elements of harmony." "Oh so boring Celestia, really. Fine, I'll tell you, but I'll only tell you my way." Discord vanishes once again. Now he appears to every single window at once, stained or not. "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 you began." He adds. "Stop with those little puzzles of yours, it's infuriating!" Lynx is starting to lose his temper. "It's kind of ironic, isn't it Prince? When I started learning about you, I never thought you would be the Legendary Super Saiyan. I thought that someone else would do be best fitted. By the way, how's he?" Discord stops moving right next to Lynx. "If you are talking about my master, I don't know if he is even alive right now." Lynx closes his eyes. "No, no I'm talking about the other one." Lynx's fists are starting clench. "Speak already! Which Saiyan are you talking about?!" His white aura is now fully visible. "You know that low-class warrior, that has a gentle spirit. I can't really remember his name. Maybe it was Tree, no Key, oh yeah it's B-" Before Discord can finish his sentence, a loud explosion explosion is heard inside the room. When the smoke clears, the Prince of all Saiyan appears with his hand extended towards the window and smoke coming out of it. A golden aura coming out of his body. "I'm gonna kill him!" He turns around to his friends. "C-Can we go home now?" Fluttershy walks near Twilight. "What do you reckon he meant?" Applejack asks the lavender mare "Twists and turns. Twists and turns." Twilight walks and looks at the window. She sees a labyrinth. "Twists and turns! That's it! I bet Discord hid the Elements in the palace Labyrinth." She adds. "Well then, what are we waiting for?! Let's go!" Lynx lets them his hand and does his Instant Transmission. The mane put their hooves in his hand and Lynx raises his head. "Wait, shouldn't we make a pl...?" Twilight goes to ask Lynx, but he interrupts her. "Celestia, can you tell me the coordinates of the labyrinth?" "I think it is: -44 15 20." "Wait, didn't you say that you track the Chi of living things to teleport?" Rainbow asks him. "That usually is the case, but with how much chaotic HIS Chi is, it will take a while to get used to it. So I just think of the exact location, I want to teleport. But it is necessary to know the exact coordinates, not even a digit wrong." Lynx explains. "Alright, let's go!" They teleport to the entrance of the labyrinth and now they are ready to face the lord of chaos, Discord.
