"Where did you get that?" Vegeta sternly asked as he stared down at the Scouter in the small chest.

Twilight lifted her eyebrow curiously at the small item. It was unusual and made of metal, and it's shape was odd too. Whatever it was, she had never seen anything like it before. She looked up to see Gohan and his companions staring wide eyed at the item before them, and the princess sat with a look of spite. "Ummm, excuse me. What is going on here? What is this thing?"

Celestia took a breath as she thought back to the secret that she had made all those years ago. Everything that she had tried to do to keep that day hidden from her subjects was now pointless with what has been happening. And with the arrival of Gohan and the others now, they would want to know how she had known about their kind as well. 'It is time I reveal everything to them.'

"Everything started over thirty years ago." Celestia started, "Back when I was ruling Equestria while Luna was gone, everything was peaceful for years. No threat was eminent in our land, and ponies had been able to live without worry of threat from anything. In fact, many didn't even think there was a notable danger for them to have to worry about while living their lives. That however, was changed when they arrived from the sky."

"They?" Piccolo questioned, now very curious though expertly not showing it.

"Four large metal pods came out of the sky and crashed into the land outside of the Everfree Forest. I went myself to go and see what had happened. When I had arrived, four warriors had exited the pods and were standing there. All of them were wearing matching armor just like his." She pointed over to Vegeta, who grimaced at the story he was hearing.

"When I had landed in front of them, they simply laughed at my presence and ordered the surrender of my homeland and threatened the destruction of everything if we did not give in to their demands."

"Woah woah hold up!" Rainbow interjected and pointed at Vegeta, "Things like this thing right here came and tried to take over in the past? Why haven't we ever heard of this before!?"

"Yes Rainbow Dash... They said that if I refused to surrender, they would destroy this world."

"Their power was far superior to that of the strongest creatures in Equestria. Able to fly without wings, and could shoot out large magic like attacks that could destroy vast areas with ease. Seeing how dangerous they were, I knew that attempting to convince them to stop was pointless, so I had to do it."

"Had to do what?" Gohan asked.

"They attempted to fight me, so I had to do what was necessary to protect my home." Celestia looked around to the mane six as they gasped, realizing what she meant in saying that. The others however just sat silently, sitting still while the princess continued to tell her tale. "After I defeated them, I destroyed their ships and other things to hide the evidence of their coming. Hoping to hide that horrible time from my ponies and praying that more wouldn’t come after."

You attempted to had everything that had happened under the radar to keep the truth hidden..." Piccolo grunted, "That never works... We can assure you."

"I wanted to try and keep whatever things related to them a secret to try and protect the ponies. If they knew there was a race of aliens attempting to destroy them, panic would spread everywhere in an instant. But even when I had saved my home, I was cautious because of the warning that I had received from the saiyans before they passed on." Celestia looked around to the others, "their master Frieza would come and kill me."

"Frieza!?" Gohan and Piccolo yelled in unison and startling the ponies. Vegeta grinded his teeth at the sound of that name. "That damn freak!" The Saiyan prince growled.

Celestia raised an eyebrow curiously at their reactions. "You knew him?"

That alien took over the Saiyan race and used us for his own personal goals..." Vegeta aggressively explained, "and when he saw that our powers were growing and could become a threat to him, he blew up our home world and obliterated our race to near extinction."

What!? That's horrible!" Twilight exclaimed, "how could any creature be that heartless and cruel?"

"Ya mean he just didn't want y'all anymore and just killed all of ya? That is terrible!" Applejack added.

Celestia began piecing together the connection. "When did he destroy your home?"

"Thirty years ago." The prince sternly answered.

The solar princess sat for a moment as she thought to herself. 'That must have been around the same time when they attacked my home.  No wonder no more of them came. They had all died.' She looked back up to Vegeta. "I am sorry for your loss. Losing every other member of your race must be painful."

"Hmph... My anger for that event is still powerful, but I don't let that distract me  my goals for power."

The two princesses both felt the arrogance coming from the Saiyan prince. Deciding to ignore it, Celestia continued her explanation. "After I tried covering up their arrival, I waited for the horrible chance that more would come soon. At the same time, I had to deal with a number of ponies who did in fact know of what happened. Soon something else happened... Another large ship crashed into The mountains, this one from Earth."

"A ship from earth?" Gohan yelled, "When was this?"

Ten years ago. When it had crashed, I prepared to go and protect my home again, but when I arrived I was surprised. The creatures inside looked like saiyans, but were called humans. They did not threaten my home, but in fact pleaded for my help from their crash landing. Feeling pity for them, I carried the three that survived back to the castle and hid them in this very room. I tried to help them as fast as I could, but two were far too injured to save."

"The third one was able to last through the immediate struggle. As he began recovering, I had learned they were on a deep space mission but has lost all control in theirs ship and just coincidentally crashed here. He explained different things about his world, and how I learned they were different than the harsh ways of the saiyans. Unfortunately, he developed a horrible infection internally from his wounds. By the time I realized it, it was too late. He and the others I had buried out of respect, and like the other ships, I destroyed to keep the other worlds secret."

"I once again had the problem of keeping everything a secret. More ponies began questioning the strange thing that had crashed down. Some had even claimed that they had seen the human craft before i could get rid of it. Then I had an idea to convince all the ponies it was all make believe..." Celestia let out a light sigh, "I wrote stories of humans coming to Equestria."

"WHAT!?" All the ponies besides Luna screamed.

"Wait a second..." Twilight demanded, "You mean that series of stories that I that talk about... Humans? One of which YOU gave me!?"

"Yes... I believed creating a make believe fiction of creatures from another world coming here... Ponies would think the few rumors going around were all just false."

"But... How could any pony just push aside what was said by stories?"

Celestia cast a small grin, "Did you ever believe those stories were real?"

Before she said anything, Twilight thought to herself, "N-no, I thought they were just make believe. They seemed too fake to be real."

"Then my idea did work. I saw a little and harmless lie was better than a horrible truth to what almost happened to our home. And after a short time, all the rumors turned into myth, and no pony ever thought to think twice. And after Luna had returned, I explained to her everything that had happened in her absence. Being my own sister, I couldn't keep something this important from her. After another year however, we figured the threat was all behind us. But then we felt his power."

We began feeling powerful surges coming from outside of our world..." Luna stated, "whatever it was, it was something unlike anything we felt before. And then three weeks ago, the true surge of power hit us."

Gohan nodded his head. "That was the same time we fought him."

His strange awakening was felt all the way from here. Having to see this ourselves, my sister and I combined our magic and observed the fight you all had with Broly."

The room sat silent for a few minutes, all of the figures in the room as they exchanged glances with each other as they contemplated what to say next, to which Pinkie Pie did.

"Soooo... You guys still have to worry about that meanie face alien Frieza now? He sounds super strong if he blew up a world."

Vegeta chuckled to himself. "Hmph, he no longer even compares to the power that we possess now. Besides, Frieza was nearly killed several years ago on this green ones planet..." Pointing a finger at Piccolo, "He then tried to come to Earth for revenge, but was killed by my son Trunks."

Both Luna and Celestia locked eyes with each other upont hearing the name. In all the commotion that had happened, they never noticed how Trunks was not at the battle back in Hoovesdale. "Wait... Where is your son?"

Vegeta crossed his arms again and leaned back against the wall. "Well, since you seem to know who he is I will explain. The trunks you saw was in fact my son from the future, who had travelled back in time to warn us of another threat approaching."

Rainbow dash started rubbing her head with her hoof in confusion. "Ok I am seriously lost now. What in the hay are all of you talking about now? First you start with stuff about the princess fighting evil aliens, now you add in time travel. What next; you gonna say robot things created by an evil scientist were coming to kill you?

Piccolo couldn't help but chuckle at the coincidence. "Well, if you wanted to know, they were androids, not normal robots."

Rainbow blankly stared at the namekian for several seconds before slumping onto the ground. "My brain hurts."

Both Gohan and Piccolo began explaining how Trunks had travelled to their time to warn them of the coming of Dr. Gero, a scientist who was creating the perfect weapons: androids. Cybernetic warriors that appeared to look like people, but were extremely powerful. He also warned them of the arrival of Cell, a being of unbelievable power and was bent on destroying Earth. The ponies all listened intently to the story of their struggle to protect their home against this thing that seemed unreal in power.

"Excuse me..." Luna interjected, "If you were dealing with this creature named Cell, when did you ever have the chance to fight Broly?"

"When Cell had reached his full power, he gave us nine days to train and then challenge him in a final battle for our world.During those nine days, we had the unfortunate chance of being tricked to go to another world, to which we met Broly." Piccolo answered. "After the fight with him, we had returned home and then prepared to fight Cell."

The two princesses were then beginning to understand everything. "And... During this fight... Goku died?" Celestia asked.

Gohan immediately clenched his fists at the name of his father. He lowered his head and stared at the floor as the others looked at him with sorrow.  "Yes... He did die then." Gohan quietly responded. "I had a chance to end Cell. But... When I should have finished him off as soon as I could have, I tried to make Cell suffer for all the pain he had caused. Because I was stupid, he gained the chance to blow up our home, but my father gave his life and transmitted himself and Cell off our world."

Rarity, Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy felt tears beginning to fall from their eyes when they imagined the pain this seeming Gohan must have gone throguh. He had seen his father sacrifice himself right in front of him, and despite being as strong as he was, he was still only a child witnessing something so powerful. "I-I-I am so sorry." Fluttershy stuttered out.

Taking several deep breaths, the teenage Saiyan looked up. "It's alright. He did what he saw as the best thing to do and saved our world. We defeated Cell, bringing safety to our home. After he saw the threat was gone, Trunks returned to his own time. So... We now know each others past. Now is what we should focus on. Broly is back, and he may destroy every world in the entire universe unless we stop him here... Together."
