//------------------------------// // What Would Yamcha Do? // Story: Equestria's Ginyu Force // by Theyellowninja13 //------------------------------// The ponies watched this 'Ginyu Force' leave by flying away, and all eyes turned to Celestia for answers. "Princess, what were those ponies?" Twilight Sparkle, Princess Celestia's prized pupil asked. The Princess of the Sun sighed, before walking over to Chrysalis and spoke. "I tried to tell you. You should have listened." Then Celestia's horn lit up, before she gasped. "She's alive?! But they've never left anypony alive. This must be some kind of trick." Chrysalis glowed with the same color of Celestia's horn, before disappearing. Celestia turned to face her subjects. "Element Bearers, Princess Cadence, Captain Armor, come with me." Celestia walked over through a door, and the Bearers of the Elements of Harmony, along with the Princess of Love, and the Captain of the Royal Guard all looked between each other, before quickly following their princess. Princess Celestia led them to a rarely used war room, before she closed the doors and cast a magical spell over the room to prevent spying. When she turned back to face the confused ponies, they all backed up when they saw her glare. Twilight Sparkle gulped, before walking forward. "Princess, can you tell us who those creatures were?" Celestia sighed, before responding. "Soon after Discord was defeated, five strange creatures showed up." Celestia's horn glowed, creating a magical hologram of the Ginyu Force. Rainbow Dash spoke up as she saw the Ginyu Force. "They don't look so tough. I bet I could take them in ten seconds flat." She quieted down when she saw Celestia's angry glare. "No you couldn't. They killed countless innocents, and destroyed towns with ease. We almost caught them a few times, but they always managed to escape." The ponies all gasped, while Celestia's horn glowed, changing the hologram to show just the small green creature in the Ginyu Force. "We managed to get some intelligence on them back then. This is Guldo. He seems to be the physically weakest of all of them, but what he lacks for in strength, he makes up in abilities. He has the ability to stop time for everything except him, and has other abilities similar to magic, without using magic. He has been known to be able to preform telekinesis, read minds, and detect life forms nearby." "But how can a creature like that have powers that even the most gifted of unicorns couldn't preform?!" Twilight Sparkle exclaimed, a few hairs on her mane springing up. "As far as we can tell, each one of them has the ability to use something called ki. We believe they managed to master the art of using the life energy in them to fight and destroy." All the ponies gasped. "But the closest anypony has gotten to controlling their energy is Hercule the Earth Pony!" Shining Armor exclaimed, bringing up the well known historical figure Hercule, who was the strongest Earth Pony in history. They said he could break out of powerful unicorns magical grip, and not be affected by hurricanes the most powerful Pegasi made. Hercule managed to control a small portion of his energy to make himself incredibly strong, and preform powerful attacks, some of which were creating small explosives with his own energy. "Well, it seems that the Ginyu Force has a much better control over their energy. They've been seen being able to fire large blasts of energy, while shouting what we could assume to be ancient words that give them power." Celestia spoke, and then used her magic to teleport a book into the room, before giving it to Twilight Sparkle. "My faithful student Twilight Sparkle. That book contains all the information on the Ginyu Force. Who each of them are, and the abilities each have, as well as the words they've said while using their energy. I want you to study that book, and perhaps find a way to control your own energy to be able to stop them from another rampage." Celestia's horn lit up again, bringing up a hologram of a tall man with red hair. "This is Recoome. He is one of the strongest of the entire group." She brought up a tall blue man. "Burter, the fastest of the group, and the 'Fastest in the universe.' Be careful around him because he has the speed to back it up." Rainbow Dash's ears perked up at that. Celestia brought up a small red man with white hair. "Jeice, he usually works with Burter in creating devastating attacks." Then finally, she brought up a purple man with two spikes on his head. "And this is their leader. Captain Ginyu. He is the strongest and fastest of the entire group, but never usually fights, preferring his teammates to determine who fights." "But Princess. Even with this book, how are we supposed to fight monsters like those!" Twilight Sparkle exclaimed. "The Elements of Harmony seem to work on them, as they were turned to stone by them." Celestia brought in the chest containing the Elements of Harmony, before bringing them over to the Bearers of the Elements of Harmony. "We believe they have a base deep within the Everfree Forest, but we haven't found it. I would like you six to venture into the forest, and stop them." "Aww yeah! Another adventure!" Rainbow Dash said excitedly while pumping her hoof. The Bearers of the Elements of Harmony started leaving the room to head back to Ponyville to prepare. When they all left, the only ones left in the room with Celestia were Shining Armor and Princesses Cadence. "Aunt Celestia. Can we just ask the guardian to help? I mean he is the guardian of the planet." Cadence asked. Celestia sighed, and responded. "No. I'm sorry my niece. But it looks like we'll have to leave this to the Bearers." Cadence nodded, before walking out with Shining Armor. When the doors closed, Celestia shivered in fear. "Pecking order." Deep within the Everfree Forest, a small ancient container containing 30 mysterious seeds and a strange liquid finally fell out of a container hanging precariously on a branch. The container collided with the ground, shattering it, and causing the seeds to be covered in dirt and the strange liquid. A few seconds later, the ground around that area started shaking, before 30 green pods emerge from the ground, before growing themselves into small green alien bodies. They all looked around, before speaking to each other in a language only they understand. They all nodded, before running into the depths of the woods. "So, what do you think Captain?" Jeice asked me, as I looked around at our collective work on cleaning up our base. The base now looked similar to how it looked when we first created it. All the rooms were devoid of spider webs, and all the furniture was put back in it's right place. The only thing really missing was our pictures we had in portraits, and the food. We think maybe Surprise took them when she left after hearing of our stoning. "It looks good, men. Just like how I remember it." I said with a smile on my face. But suddenly, Recoome came up to me, holding a piece of paper. "Look Captain. I found a note." I take the note, before reading it out loud. Dear Ginyu Force, If you're reading this, then that means that you finally escaped from your unjust imprisonment. I don't know what it would be like to be turned to stone, so I don't know if you've had any awareness while stoned. But while writing this letter, you've been imprisoned for over a year. I've tried keeping the base clean, but this note is to say that I'm leaving the base behind. I hope you read this at some point, and it doesn't get destroyed. But the reason why I'm leaving is because I made a family, and I have a child. My husband and I got a big piece of land on a quarry, where we plan on building a rock farm. Well, that's what everyone else thinks. As you know, I wouldn't want to live on a rock farm for the rest of my life, so I'm planning on building something underneath the land. Whenever you finally get to read this, please come to the rock farm someday, and check it out. You'll know how to get to it when you get there. We'll probably never see each other again, because I'll be dead by the time you're free, but I want you to look over my descendents and protect them. With lots of love, Surprise When I finished reading it out loud, we were all heavily crying. We were in this universe for an entire year before we found Surprise. We raised her from a small foal into a young mare and we always considered her a part of our crazy family, even if we aren't a family, and nothing but a simple tokusentai. But when Surprise got old enough, she was able to venture into towns and get supplies we needed like food and chocolate bars. We even tried to teach her how to use ki, but found out ponies can't due to having magic. After a few minutes of crying over the memories of Surprise, I looked up to see the rest of the Ginyu Force doing the same. Except Jeice, who was somehow holding a muffin. "Jeice?" "Yes, Captain?" He asked like there was nothing wrong. "Where did you get the muffin?" We were out of supplies to even make food, so he shouldn't have been able to make a muffin. "Muffin button." 'What.' "Jeice, how many times do I need to tell you were not supposed to be the TFS Ginyu Force. We're Funimation." I said, shaking my head at the silliness of my men. "That may be Captain, but we still have elements of TFS in us and this world. Like him." Upon mentioning that name, we all shivered. "Shouldn't we go and get some food for the base? I'm getting pretty hungry." Guldo pointed out, and we all stared at him for a second, expecting a certain thing to come out of nowhere and hit him on the head. "You're right. We might be able to steal from the nearby town once it's dark." I made my way to the exit, and my men followed me. "Are we there yet?" Pinkie asked. "No." Everyone else responded. "Are we there yet?" "No." "Are we there yet?" "No." "Are we there yet?" "No!" "Are we there yet?" "No!" "Are we there yet?" "NO!" "Are we there ye-" Pinkie was cut off as a beam of energy pierced her leg. "GAH! Owwie!" "Pinkie! Are you okay?!" Rarity asked, as the others look around for the source. "It must be those Ginyu guys. Only monsters like them would attack us like this!" Rainbow said, staying a few feet in the air, before another beam went straight through her wing, causing her to fall to the ground in pain. "Rainbow!" Twilight yelled, as she lit up her horn revealing the culprits. The ponies looked around in fear as 30 strange small creatures surrounded them, all laughing in their strange language. "What are those varmits! 'Shy, you have any idea?!" Applejack asked, trying to keep an eye on all the Saibamen surrounding them. "I have no idea. I've never seen any creature like them before." Fluttershy squeaked, being totally afraid during this situation. Twilight quickly pulled out the book Celestia gave her, and scrolled through it before stopping on a certain page. "Aha! It says here that these are Saibamen. They mysteriously appeared once a thousand years ago. They were thought to be connected to the Ginyu Force, but there was never any proof as they were never seen together. When questioned, the Ginyu Force didn't even seem aware of their existence." "That's great and all Twi, but how do we fight them!" Applejack yelled, trying to get her friend to hurry. "It says that they are incredibly strong, and hard to defeat even if outnumbered. So we don't stand a chance, unless we get luc...AGH!" Twilight screamed in pain, as she was slapped into a tree by two Saibamen, causing the tree to crack in half, and most of Twilight's bones to break. "Twilight!" Was all Applejack had time to yell, before she was tackled by five Saibamen, which held her down, as Vegeta Jr. threw punch after punch into Applejack's face, breaking her nose, and giving her two black eyes. "Get off her you monsters!" Rainbow Dash yelled, as she charged at Vegeta Jr. but was tackled by another Saibamen who broke each of Rainbow Dash's legs. "Monsters as dreadful as you cannot be allowed to exist!" Rarity yelled, as she threw fragile gems at the Saibamen, before they fired an energy barrage at Rarity, covering her in soot, and leaving her heavily injured. "No one hurts my friends." The Saibamen all looked over, to see Pinkie has turned into Pinkamena, and was wielding a sharp knife. She charged at the nearest Saibamen, but received a powerful punch to the face that knocked her out, and gave her a concussion. "No! Leave my friends alone, you... you meanies!" Fluttershy yelled, activating her Stare, which did nothing to the Saibamen, except single her out to be attacked next. A Saibamen appeared right behind her, and latched it's arms underneath her barrel, before pulling her up, allowing another Saibamen to deliver brutal punches straight into Fluttershy's gut. Until it was destroyed in a beam attack. "How about you fight someone with a high power level?" A voice called out, and then Recoome and the other Ginyu Force appeared, watching as Recoome started to fight the Saibamen, because he won Rock-Paper-Scissors. Almost all the Saibamen who weren't attacking the ponies charged at the red-headed fighter. They were instantly destroyed with a few well placed punches. "You call that an attack? I'll show you how to attack!" Faster than the ponies could react, all the other Saibamen were on the ground, dead. "Good job Recoome!" Captain Ginyu yelled out to his friend. But to everyone watching's surprise, the last remaining Saibamen jumped out, and grabbed onto Recoome's back. "RECOOME!" The entire Ginyu Force yelled, all concerned over their friend, as they watched the Saibamen blow up quicker than they could react, and Recoome was on the ground, bleeding to death. They all rushed to their friend's aid. "Recoome! Don't die on us man!" Ginyu yelled, before Jeice realized something. "Hey Captain! I just remembered!" Jeice pulled out a small brown bag. "Those Senzu beans!" They got some Senzu beans a while back before Celestia and Luna destroyed the only way to make more. Ginyu quickly grabbed the bag, and opened it, noticing six beans. Ginyu's face paled, as he counted the number of injured ponies around him. "There's not enough." "What are you talkin' 'bout Captain! Of course there's enough for Recoome! Just give him one!" Jeice shut up when Ginyu gave him an angry glare. Ginyu sighed, before standing up, and walking over to Twilight Sparkle, who was on the ground, also bleeding pretty badly. "You six didn't ask for this. You don't deserve to die." Then, to everyone's surprise, Ginyu stuffed a Senzu bean in Twilight's mouth, and forced her to chew. "Hey monster! What did you give Twilight! Some kind of poison!" Rainbow Dash yelled, being concerned about her friend's safety. But she shut up when Twilight stood back up, not a single injury on her. "What was that!" Twilight exclaimed as she looked over her completely healed body. "It was amazing!" Ginyu was already stuffing one into Applejack's face, when he answered. "Senzu beans. They can fully fill up your stomach and completely heal you, even from life-threatening injuries." "Those are some mighty fancy beans! Where did you get them!" Applejack exclaimed, as she looked over her healed body. Ginyu stuffed one into Rarity and Fluttershy's mouths. "Korin's tower. These are the last six Senzu beans, as your Princesses destroyed the only way to make more." Ginyu stuffed the last two into Pinkie and Rainbow Dash's mouths. "But wait! If you used all of your 'Senzu beans' on us, then how are you going to save your friend! He looks like he needs one more than us!" Twilight exclaimed, not understanding why a terrorist is helping them. "You weren't supposed to be brought into this conflict. You don't deserve to die because of something that is our fault." Ginyu simply said, as he walked back over to Recoome, dropping the empty bag on the ground. "And our old adopted family member Surprise always reminded us that we should try to right our wrongs, and save lives that we put in danger." "Wait! You knew Surprise! That's the name of my ancestor!" Pinkie exclaimed, having turned back into Pinkie, and is now no longer Pinkamena. "You're one of the descendants of Surprise?!" Ginyu yelled in surprise. "Yeppi-runi! She told a story that was passed down about how she was raised in an odd family who were considered monsters, but were just confused ponies given powers they didn't want or expect." Pinkie looked down for a second. "She must have meant you five!" She jumped back up. "What does that mean?" Twilight asked. "She said 'confused ponies given powers they didn't want or expect.' What does that mean?" Ginyu was about to answer, before he heard Recoome groan. "Oh crap! Recoome!" Ginyu ran over to him, before trying to put some of his energy into him, only to see that it wasn't working. "Stay with us bud, You can't die on us." Ginyu quickly turned his head, to face the ponies. "I'm sorry, but can you six try to imprison us another time? Our friend needs to be taken back to our base before he dies." The rest of the Ginyu Force all gently lift up Recoome, and start to slowly fly back to their base. "I think we should." Twilight whispered to her friends. "Are you kidding! They're monsters! They're just trying to trick us so they can eat us or something." Rainbow Dash yelled in a whispering tone. "While they may be monsters, they did save our lives, and healed us at the risk of one of their own. So we do owe them." Applejack pointed out. "I agree." Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, and Rarity all said at the same time. "Wait!" Twilight yelled, causing the Ginyu Force to stop, and look back. "Please come with us! You helped us, and it's the least we can do!" Ginyu looked back to his men. "Well, their town is closer than our base." They all nodded, and Ginyu responded. "Fine. But this better not be a trick. I am not in a mood for being tricked when our close friend is dying. The ponies all looked between each other, before nodded. "Cross our hearts and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in our eye!" "They did the surprise promise! But it's different than Surprise's one." Jeice pointed out, and we all nodded, before following them. "Hey Captain? How did the Saibamen harm Recoome? Saibamen have a power level similar to Raditz, but we're much stronger than him, so the Saibamen shouldn't have done much damage." "Normally, you would be right, Jeice. It wouldn't have harmed him much." I answered. "But remember what we found out about this forest. It does strange things to the creatures within, plus the planet has magic, so when they were planted somehow, they could have become much stronger." "There we go!" Fluttershy said with a smile on her face, as we place one of our closest friends on a bed in her cottage so she can began healing. "Now if you'll excuse me, I need to get to work on healing your friend." She said, trying to get us out of the room. "No." I said in a completely serious tone. "None of us our leaving our friend alone. We've stuck together through some of the most harshest trials, and we are not abandoning him now." I gave a small smile. "And besides. If we leave, Recoome will probably die anyways, as we are all giving energy to him, just to keep his vital organs working." 'Somehow he's using more energy than we should give. We're all giving a small portion of our vast energy stores, because we have to be prepared to fight.' "Okay. But if you're going to stay, you need to answer some questions!" Twilight said, as she spawned a notebook and quill, causing me to laugh inside myself, before sitting down on one of the small chairs.
