//------------------------------// // Training camp // Story: Equestria Budokai Tenkaichi // by Kaliann25 //------------------------------// Videl opened the door after a few minutes of annoying knocking. The three Cutie Mark Crusaders seemed to be really excited. "Ey Ms. Videl! Are you ready for the camp after a long sider season?" asked Apple Bloom. Videl smiled and nodded. "I've being waiting since you told me. So as Gohan; but remember girls; we're not going only to play and tell stories about ghosts; Gohan wants to take the chance to train really hard with you all" "We're more than ready" the three of them shouted. "I can't wait to see how hard you train" said Applejack approaching. "And so as Rainbow Dash and Twilight; I can't imagine how far they can go practicing that Fusion stuff. By the way, is Gohan up yet?" Videl rolled her eyes. "Yeah; since an hour ago; but let's say he's a little busy right now…" "With what?" asked Twilight; who was with Applejack. Videl moved a few steps so their friends could see inside. Gohan was posing in front of an oversized mirror that Rarity gave them. He was admiring his new Saiyaman suit; completely black with green boots, four green stars in the chests and a black helmet with an also green visor. "I'll never…FORGIVE THOSE WHO WORK FOR EVIL! I'm the hero who fights for justice, I'M THE GREAT SAIYAMAN! Yeah; with that new one I'll impress everypony. Applejack and Twiligth facehoofed; the girls started to laugh. If it wasn't hey knew Gohan used his Saiyaman uniform to don't be bothered being treated as a hero; long time ago they will tried to show him some humility long time ago, as they did with Rainbow Dash. Anyway, Gohan seemed to be really happy to see them. "Ey! I didn't notice you all were here already. Just give me a minute to change my clothes and I'll be with you. Don't leave without me!" asked the saiyan taking off his new superhero outfit. The only disadvantage between Rarity's design to Bulma's was that Gohan couldn't change with only pressing a button. But after a minute and a half, Gohan was ready to go; so they started their way to the camp. Applejack used to camp with Apple Bloom after the sider season just to take a rest after the busiest days of the year; but this time the girl insisted to also invite her friends and their masters, who helped the most during the season. And of course they agreed, but Gohan proposed the idea they had to took that chance to make an special training; because during the sider season they were too occupied to train as they had to. So the girls agreed in excitement. By her way Twilight decided she was going to go as well after a very difficult days for her. All started when Princess Celestia arrived to Ponyville right after hear about all the trouble Trixie caused; and of course about the mysterious alicorn princess who saved them all. Twilight didn't like to lie to anypony; and most to her mentor and teacher but she already decided she couldn't know about the Fusion so she had to. After the visit Twilight only wanted a relaxing day of good reading at her house but Rainbow Dash quickly appeared and forced to train with the Apples and Gohan so they could practice the Fusion. Twilight agreed but only after Rainbow threatened her to tell the Princess all about it. And before anypony could react, Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie joined as well; so as Rarity but only because Sweetie Belle was an expert manipulating her big sister. "So everypony, let's go!" said Applejack starting to walk. Everypony but Sweetie Belle walked quickly. The problem was she was caring a huge wagon with all Rarity considered as the "absolutely necessary"; so the girl was having a lot of trouble caring that stuff. Gohan saw his student having a difficult time and smiled to her. "Don't worry Sweetie Belle; you'll only carry that wagon for a while. After thirty minutes Apple Bloom will replace you and finally Scootaloo. Our training begins now!" The Crusaders screamed in excitement; now caring Rarity's unnecessary stuff seemed a lot more interesting. So they started their way to the camping spot. When they finally arrived, they notice Rainbow Dash were already waiting for them. "What made you take so long?" she asked sarcastically. Pinkie Pie, bouncing as always, giggled. "Oh Rainbow Dash, you missed all the fun; it was the hardest training of all! The girls had to carry Rarity's clothes! Do you imagine such a weight?" Rarity glared at her, but the rest of the Mane 6 with Videl laughed happily. Then Gohan appeared caring the wagon with the three fillies sleeping peacefully on it. Videl smiled condescending. "As always, they push themselves too hard. Gohan said thirty minutes by one; but they insisted to keep training" Gohan took the girls and sat them in a few logs they could use to sit. "Now it's time for you three to rest; after we could train a little more but that's it for a while. Miss Rainbow Dash, Miss Twilight, is your turn now" The Mane 6 nodded and Twilight approached to Rainbow Dash caring a lot of books. "Let's go Rainbow" said the purple unicorn very proud of herself. "I love reading but Twi… this is a camp of training; we suppose to train physically not mentally" said Rainbow Dash annoyed. Twilight glared at her. "Don't be ridiculous Rainbow Dash; those books contain the hardest spells known by the pony kind; I was thinking we could have a little fun trying all of them once we became Rainbow Sparkle" Rainbow Dash smirked. "Sorry for the misunderstanding my friend; this is something I really want to try; but first, let's prepare all tents and then it's training time" Twilight agreed and all the Mane 6 along with Gohan and Videl started to prepare the camp. Twilight prepared the tents with her magic; while Videl and Gohan kicked the trees to cut off the dead branches and do the fire. Rarity delicately took her little sister with her magic and placed her in a safe spot so she can prepare the gigantic fancy tent with her horn; Pinkie made her own in her bounces and giggles; and finally Fluttershy who made her own helped by the creatures of the woods. Applejack keep fighting with the fire when Apple Bloom waked and after a while she felt sorry for her sister and used her Ki to start a very good fire. "I still need some time to get used to it, little sist" said Applejack with a small sweat drop in her head. Apple Bloom smiled proud of herself. Rainbow smiled really excited an approached to Twilight making the Fusion basic pose. Twilight smiled too and made the pose too. Everypony was looking at them in expectation ready to see one of the most amazing Ki techniques again. The unicorn and the pegasus freed their Ki aura; they were ready. "Fuuuuuuu" "SIOOON HAAA!" Suddenly Gohan ran to them trying to warn something but it was too late. In front of them an alicorn as big as Celestia was standing majestically; but this one obviously had weight problems. She was incredibly fat, so fat that when she made two steps she had to stop to take breath before continue. Pinkie Pie couldn't resist too much and started laughing as laud as she could; making the rest of them laugh hard too. "What is that?" managed to ask Fluttershy between laughs. "Stop laughing of me!" shouted the alicorn. "How dare you to have fun of a powerful Alicorn Princess? I, Twilight Dash, won't tolerate such an insult and…" No one listened, they were laughing too loud; even more when Pinkie Pie found Twilight Dash bounced. The new alicorn tried to use her magic against all of them but the only thing she could do was to appear half mustache on Pinkie Pie causing more laughs, even if such thing was possible. Finally Gohan had to speak to her so she could calm a little. "Well, just don't worry about it; I tried to warn you but it was already too late. Miss Twilight did wrong the position of her back hooves so the Fusion made your powers to decrease instead of increase" "They can back to normal?" asked Rarity staring at Twilight Dash. "In thirty minutes when the fusion is over" explained Videl. Pinkie Pie giggled and walked around the new alicorn. Then she stared at Fluttershy. "Yes?" asked the yellow pegasus. "Let's do it Fluttershy! Pinkie screamed excited. "Maybe we turn into Flutter Pie or Pinkie Shy. Or what about you, Applejack? We can turn into a delicious dessert, an Apple Pie, get it? Or better! We can become Pinkiety or Rarity or better…" Rarity gave her a cupcake to calm her down and it worked. "Finally" mumbled de white unicorn. Nopony said a thing; but they agreed. In the meantime, the new overweighed alicorn felt a little frustrated of her failed magic tricks and tried her flying abilities. Her speed was still impressive; but not as impressive when she was only Rainbow Dash. Still, she tried to increase speed to make a perfect Sonic Rainboom when the Fusion time get over. Twilight fell to the ground. "ANYPONY HEEEEELP MEEEEEEE!" At the beginning Rainbow were stunned but she quickly reacted and flew away to save her friend. "Are you all right?" asked Rainbow. "Thanks a lot" grumped Twilight. "But next time you want to show your flying capabilities, DO IT ALONE!" "Twi, half is your fault" said Rainbow. "Yeah but…" "Pleas both of you stop that" asked Gohan. "When you do the Fusion everything in you increase; since good as magic ability or great flying skills; but also bad as all your defects for example Miss Rainbow Dash's desires to show off her abilities" "Just let them be Gohan" said Videl. "Now, girls, I think you had enough time recovering yourselves. Let's do some more training!" The girls exchanged some comments of excitement and flew after their masters. From the ground, the adults watched the whole fight while relaxing. By her way Pinkie ate another cupcake and took two pompons to bounce around and cheer to the fighters when they fell. The girls fell several times; and to the surprise to everypony; also Gohan and Videl. Finally night came. After that long fight and another fusion (a good one this time) they all decided to eat. Darling glared at Rainbow Dash and Twilight. "Seriously, what was that all about? You turned my mane red, then green and then you dare to ruin my hairstyle" "And also you scared all little animals around here" said softly Fluttershy. "Well, I'm happy with my mustache and beard" said Pinkie looking at her new "accessories" giving by Rainbow Sparkle's magic. "Again, is part of the Fusion, don't think too much about it" said Gohan calmly. It was a nice evening when suddenly Rainbow Dash smirked. "Now, who is ready for a horror story?" Fluttershy screamed and hided under Pinkie Pie's hooves; and the pink pony embraced her. The Crusaders also embraced each other. Gohan and Videl listened but the story wasn't very scary for someone who fought monsters who's powers were beyond imagination. "And what happen if the Elden Pony come here and ask us about his ponyshoe?" asked Scootaloo trembling. Gohan cheered her up. "Don't worry Scootaloo; if he come you can use your Kame-Hame-Ha to scare him" The fillies quickly calmed down; it was true, now they were the most powerful ponies in the whole world with the exception of Celestia. Rainbow grumped. "Great; you ruined my story. Do you two know a story that really scares?" Videl grinned. "Now than you mention it, I have one" The ponies approached to her. "Long time ago, the entire universe were protected by five gods; the Supreme Kais. They watched for harmony and peace; protecting all little creatures from evil. But one day, an evil magician called Bibidi decided to challenge them and created a monster. No, not a monster; a demon. A demon called Majin Boo" The ponies looked each other confused. What kind of monster had that weird name? "Majin Boo hadn't the capability to think anything else than destruction and death. He fought the five Supreme Kais and killed them with the exception of the East Kai. Majin Boo was so powerful that not even his creator were capable to control him; so he put him under a spell that locked the monster inside an egg every time he do the destruction Bibidi wanted. One day, after lock Majin Boo, Bibidi was confronted by the Supreme Kai and was killed; but the egg reminded where he put it. That was because if the Supreme Kai try something; the monster probably get free" The ponies gasped. "And the egg is still somewhere; with Majin Boo waiting to be awakened by somepony to end what he started exterminating the whole life in the universe" They all reminded in silence for a while; good story but a strange one. Gohan scratched his head a little confused. "But Videl, remember we already defeated Majin Boo" Fluttershy gasped in horror. "Do you mean that thing was real?" Gohan nodded. "It was the most difficult fight of our lives. After that Videl and I only fight crime as Great Saiyaman and Great Saiyaman No. 2" After a few comments they finally went to bed. Gohan and Videl stayed alone looking at the stars. The young saiyan looked depressed. "Are you all right?" asked his girlfriend. "Yeah; or well, I could be better. I just… that chat about Majin Boo made me think in home. I really like our friends, they are beyond kind, and also I love to be the girl's master but… I just wanna go home and hug mom, Goten, and…" "I understand" said Videl sadly. "I miss my dad too; he's a complete idiot but I really want to hug him too and tell him how much I love and missed him" They both stayed in silence for a while; then they decided to sleep for a little. The weekend passed quickly with the girls training with their masters; so as Twilight and Rainbow Dash who mastered the Fusion in no time and could make the highest level spells without effort being Rainbow Sparkle. Finally they came back to Ponyville. At Sweet Apple Acres, Spike was already waiting for them. "Finally you're back" said gladly the dragon passing a letter to Twilight. "I have good news" "What is it darling?" asked Rarity. Twilight smiled sadly. "It seems that the Princess finally found a way to send Gohan and Videl back home and she is asking us to go to Canterlot as soon as possible" The silence was big; nopony know how to react.
