Time Patrollers, it is our job to fix distortions in time created by those who think that they can make time their own personal play grounds. Ever since time travel became a reality there have been those who abuse it. With the blessings of “The supreme Kai of Time” we were given the task hunting down those individuals as well as fix whatever it was they messed up.
When the supreme Kai went to choose her heroes, she gave each a test looking for potential, already present power, of course pure intentions. I am an Arcosian, if you've never heard of those then that would be because thanks to a certain tyrant our original name was lost in time and today we are known as “The Frieza clan” You see when the supreme Kai pulled me out of my timeline the person known as Frieza never existed or was even a thought. Needless to say I was appalled one of our race could do those terrible things, but that is history and I cannot change it. Hell I was around before even the saiyans made their deal with us.
“HEY ICE!!!” Speaking of Saiyans that would be my partner Tine. Like me she was brought from an earlier timeline than the others. She is very stubborn, hardheaded, and genuinely not smart. She is however kind (in her own way), loyal, and honest (brutally so). And for a female Saiyan she is a behemoth, she stands a good 6’9” at least, as compared to my sorry to say 5’4”. Yes I’m a midget in comparison to her I can’t help that. Her hair is a deep magenta and has light brown skin. And her eyes oh god those eyes the most beautiful predatory gold you can imagine. She was brought out of her timeline when her people were still at war with the Truffles. On her home planet.
I sat up on the bench I was currently resting on and looked over to my partner. Today she was wearing a black and orange lined vest hung open with black wrappings underneath. She was also wearing blue training gi pants (much like my own) and martial art sandals and her tail was of course wrapped around her midsection. It was with her intense training under Son Goku and Prince Vegeta that she finally obtained her level three transformation. And it was because of this training that she is now the strongest saiyan in Tokitoki city, home to the time patrol.
“Let me guess you want a sparring partner?” I asked already knowing the answer.
“Well duuuuuh~ no one else can even lay a finger on me here.” I chuckled at that. While I can’t turn super saiyan (cuz I’m not a saiyan) we Arcosians are powerful in our own right and have transformations of our own that also help to bolster our strength. I furthered my strength by constantly training and sparring with Tine, helping her reach her peak.
“Sorry Tine your sparring match is gonna have to wait.” We turn to see Trunks standing there expectantly. “We have a mission that requires our immediate attention. Meet me and the supreme kai at the Time Nest.”
We turned to each other and smiled. “No training like actual combat right?” Tine chuckled.
At the Time Nest we saw the supreme kai of time as well as Trunks talking to Fuil a petite greyish blue Majin female from the distant future. She was still very new to the Time patrol if I remember correctly. Trunks noticed us right away and waved us over. “This way.” The five us quickly followed the supreme Kai to the time vault and the scroll of eternity, which as usual when a disturbance was present in the timeline was glowing an ominous shade of purple. “There is a massive distortion in the timeline regarding the planet Equis. Specifically the kingdom known as Equestria.” The supreme Kai unrolled the scroll and the images it showed were those of destruction and chaos on a grand scale. Very easily the destruction of their world hung in the balance. A once marvelous castle was burning as familiar mind controlled enemies, which should not be there to begin with, slaughtered the equine citizens. “The distortion clearly shows the handy work of the Demon god Demigra as well as that of Towa and Mira.”
“Didn't we beat Demigra as well as kill Towa and her creation?” I asked clearly confused.
The supreme Kai sighed “I fear Demigra’s influence is always going to affect the timeline as for Towa and Mira I suspect Demigra had a hand in them as well. Also things are not as simple this time around. The scroll is having trouble pinpointing the exact location in time the disturbance occurred. Possibly because this world is one based completely on magic. So we have decided that we will be sending you to three years prior to the events you see before you. I am sorry but that is as accurate as we can get which why we are sending two top Patrollers there. Fuil here” she gestured to the Majin, who waved sheepishly “will be acting as your liaison, she will contact you should we find anything new during your stay on the planet. Again I am sorry for forcing this burden on you.”
I looked up at Tine as she looked down at me, after a single moment she smiled like a Cheshire cat while I fastened my favorite bandana to over my head.
We both turned back to the supreme Kai “When do we start.”
“In a moment there some other things that need to be discussed. Firstly, this is a long term mission and as such I will be accompanying you there to meet with the rulers first.” Tine’s mood suddenly turned downtrodden. I knew she was itching to get started. And while I agreed I wanted to get a move on as well, this was starting to look like a very unusual mission.
“Why the sudden interest with the rulers, you've never made contact with leaders regarding our actions before?” I asked out both curiosity as well as necessity.
The supreme kai nodded “That is because these are no mere rulers, they in fact in relation to us Kais. Like us they are beings who can live for eternity unless killed by unnatural means. And while they may only control a single sun and moon on their planet they are still immensely powerful. So we must at least inform them of what’s happening before we go charging into their domain.”
Don’t we do that all the time? I thought.
“I’m gonna go ahead, you two use the eternity scroll.” With that the supreme kai of time disappeared as in a ball of light. Me and Tine nodded to each other and grasped the scroll tightly.

“-as you can see by this chart here the growth of our industry-“ Celestia once again to another petitioner out for their own profit. She honestly stopped listening the moment he came through the door barely taking notice of every third or fourth sentence. I would give bucking anything to get out of this right now. Silence broke her from her inner rant. As she looked around there was no sound nothing not even the annoying petitioner. Everything seemed frozen like a painting. She immediately stood form her throne. Lighting her horn to scan the area for anything that me be the cause.
She didn't have to scan for long as an unknown magic signature made itself present in the garden. Without so much as a thought Celestia teleported out of the throne room and to the garden. She was shocked to find a small creature looking up at the petrified discord. The creature stood just a little taller than her ponies. It had light pinkish skin and dark pink hair on top its head. It was garbed in some form of baggy formal attire.
“CEASE AT ONCE!!!” She screamed at the creature. Horn lit and ready for a confrontation.
The creature didn't even turn around “Hello Princess.” She (Celestia guessed female by the voice) slowly turned around to face her with bright and caring smile.
“Time spells are forbidden and as such you face life imprisonment.” Celestia preached in a stern tone to the creature, who laughed childishly.
Quickly recovering from her laughter the creature spoke again “Please forgive me Princess. Let me introduce myself I am the supreme Kai of time. It is my duty guard and oversee the time stream. And unfortunately Your timeline has become corrupted and we must find cause as soon as possible.”
Celestia furrowed her brow at this ‘supreme kai’ who seemed to like a little filly. But one look into her eyes told Celestia that this creature was far older than she appeared. She briefly wondered if this was how her subjects felt when they looked at her. “Explain.”
The creature’s smile left her face as she began. “Just recently I noticed a shift in your timeline one that would destroy you’re entire world if left alone. This is where we will need your patience and understanding. To ensure your timeline reaches the proper conclusion I have sent two of my agents here who will arrive shortly after this conversation. Ordinarily we would show up at the breech of the anomaly however this time we cannot pin point the exact location in time and we are therefore forced to send my agents three years prior to the fallout to uncover the cause. I believe the reason we cannot accurately pinpoint the location in time is do interference of an old enemy. However it is also equally possible that the interference could have come from the magical density of your world.” The creature paused to let the information sink in. “Again this type of preceding is unusual as you wouldn't normally know we were even here however, I will not disrespect my kin by not making the threat known to you.”
Celestia Shook her head “I’m sorry your kin?”
The creature smiled again “Yes though you are not a Kai you are still a deity by right and as such you, your sister, even this buffoon” she gestured to the statue of Discord “are entitled to the same respect we give each other. To us you are our sister.” Celestia stared slack jawed not knowing what to say “Now then regarding the two that will be here it is up to you how they proceed. Either you can have them be subtle and stay out of sight, or you can introduce them to your society they will be here for three years after all. Now I suggest you return to your throne lest your guards realize your absence.” With that the Supreme Kai vanished in a ray of light.
Celestia blinked as time began to flow again and immediately teleported back into the throne room, where the ponies were franticly searching for their missing princess. “Princess, what happened? One second you were there the next you gone and then you just teleported back.” One of the guards frantically questioned.
“No time for that now, day court has been canceled today, and I want everypony to leave the throne room, NOW!” She yelled the last part making sure they understood the urgency. The guards quickly ushered out the disgruntled petitioner as well as making themselves scarce.
Celestia sat alone in the throne. She didn’t know what to make of all this. The creature from earlier claiming a disaster and that she and her were somehow related. And now there were supposed to be two more coming. She slumped down on her throne with heavy sigh. She sat in silence and just she was wondering if they would appear, two rays of light cascaded in the middle of the throne room, leaving two creatures both vastly different from the first that had visited.
For the life of her she didn’t know being looked more intimidating. The one on the right was about the same height as Luna but still easily shorter than herself. It was all white with what appeared to be chitin. It also seemed to be adorned with large smooth shiny green plates like smoothed emeralds. One was at its direct center, as well as one on each forearm and shoulder. The creature stood bipedal with a long tail. It wore baggy purple pants and an orange bandana covering its head.
What made this creature truly intimidating was not its overall appearance but the creatures face. If it had a mouth she couldn’t see it as it seemed to have a mask of sorts covering where it should be. Its eyes were pure black sclera, no pupils or iris at all just completely black with red lines coming from them almost like tears if they weren't so thick.
The other creature was absolutely massive it stood at least as tall herself maybe taller. It also stood bipedal with light brown skin and a deep maroon mane that reached that reached half its body length. Its eyes were a predatory amber color. It wore a tight orange lined vest that hung open and stopped at the mid drift and a rap underneath. As well as white pants with a red sash. It also seemed to have a brown tail wrapped around its waist.
So many thoughts ran through the alicorn’s mind what exactly were these creatures? How would her ponies react to these creatures? How was she supposed to explain their sudden appearance? Was their benefactor being honest or was she lying? What was this threat that they had to stop? Where would they stay while they’re here? If they’re here because of a time distortion doesn’t that mean their presence also creates a distortion? Why was the tall one looking at her like that?
The creature suddenly released and ear shattering screech “EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! SHE’S SO ADORABLE!!!!” The creature suddenly vanished and before Celestia could form a coherent thought she found herself in a bone crushing embrace.
