//------------------------------// // The Fight at Canterlot // Story: Equestria's Ginyu Force // by Theyellowninja13 //------------------------------// "Are you sure about this Cap?" Jeice asked me, as we quickly flew through the air. Us five and the Element Bearers were called to Canterlot by the princesses, and we five clearly know it's a trap. I looked downwards to see the train the mane six are on quickly move across the ground. "Well, we befriended the Element Bearers, so maybe we can convince Celestia and Luna about the fact that it was all an accident?" I said, before flying over a rather sizable cloud in the way. "Besides, the princesses can't do anything against us, especially now that we all can go super Saiyan." Guldo reminded. "But we should be careful. I can only imagine the reason why the princesses called us is because they have something they think can beat us." I pointed out, as we reached Canterlot skies. "Now everyone, make sure you be on your best behavior." We all slowly descended to the edge of Canterlot where several guards were posted. The second we landed, everyone around us was shocked. "They just flew! Without wings! That should be impossible! Are these the five we were warned against?!" One guard spoke in a rushed voice to another. "Take us to your leader." I said, hiding my smile, as the guards quickly nodded, and we were lead through Canterlot to the castle. As we were walking, we got a lot of stares from the nobles. We ignored the stares, and kept on walking, until we reached the castle in a short amount of time. The guards looked at us sternly, and one spoke up. "Stay here." The pony quickly entered the castle, and I felt several guards quietly surround the area around us. "Hey Ginyus!" I heard Pinkie's voice shout out, as the mane six were lead over to us, surrounded by guards. I smiled, and responded. "Hey girls. Was the trip okay?" Twilight nodded. "It was, but I can't understand why we have all these guards." I sighed. "It's because we were lead into a clearly obvious trap by the princesses. They want nothing more than to defeat us, and they most likely think we did something to force you to help us and consider us friends." The mares were shocked by this. "What?! But Princess Celestia is the nicest mare I've ever met! She wouldn't do something like this!" Right as they said that, dozens of platoons of guards came out of the surrounding buildings, and formed formations around us and pointed their weapons at both of our groups. "Attention Ginyu Force!" Shining Armor yelled, as he came out of the castle, wearing armor, and a spear at his side. "You are under arrest for destruction of property, genocide, mind-control, and many other crimes. If you come peacefully, we won't have to use lethal force, and the surrounding area won't be destroyed, but you don't care about that, do you?!" "What makes you think you'd be able to hurt us? We have powers that makes us much stronger than the princesses. They're weaker than Raditz!" I retorted to Shining Armor, and I could feel the anger coming off of all the guards. "Shining! Why are you doing this! The Ginyu Force aren't evil! They're just misunderstood!" Twilight yelled to her brother, who gave a sorrow-filled glare in return. "I'm sorry that these monsters have gotten to you Twily, but I have to defeat them, to save the world from their tyranny." Shining Armor responded, and I noticing his horn glowed up, before several shields surrounded each of the guards. "Now! Are you going to surrender? Or will we need to force you to?" I sighed. "If you want to do it that way, then we'll do it that way. Men." I looked at them over my shoulder, and we all shared a nod, before quickly flying up into the air, and I fired a small electric beam at Shining Armor's horn, which cut off his spell. I looked down at the six mares, noticing their fear-filled faces, and yelled down to them. "DON'T WORRY GIRLS, WE'LL MAKE SURE TO STAY NON-LETHAL!" "Fine! Come on men! Let's show them the power of the Canterlot Guard!" Shining Armor yelled, as he recovered, and started firing bursts of magic up at us. All the unicorns started doing the same things, while the pegasi started to take off, and prepare their weapons, and the earth ponies pulled out crossbows. "And don't forget to DODGE!" Right as he yelled that word, everything went quiet, before all the guards ran off, crying. "CURSE YOU PAVLOV!" "Stand down Shining Armor! You're army has failed, and we don't want to hurt you." I yelled, before blinking in surprise when Shining Armor and the six mares were teleported away somewhere in a yellow and blue flash. "It should be you who stands down." I heard Celestia's voice speak up, and we all turn around to see them wearing some gaudy looking armor. Their armor was a bright orange, and it looked terrible on both of them. But the strange thing about the armor, was that it had four red stars on both sets, and that I could sense powerful magic radiating from it, much more powerful than Celestia and Luna's usual magic. "We won't. We made a promise a thousand years ago, and we intend to carry it out. We will protect this world. And it seems you two no longer seem to be fit to rule it. You have false accusations without bothering to learn the truth, have destroyed more than we have while trying to catch us, and you have destroyed a magical cure-all just to stop us. By doing so, you've endangered countless of your own ponies by destroying something that could have cured their illnesses." I said, trying to acct as heroically as possible. While all of this stuff is true, I didn't really want to kick them off the throne, I just wanted them to realize we aren't evil. "We are more fit than you to rule it!" Celestia yelled, and fired a beam of magic at me, which I was barely able to deflect in time. 'They are definitely more powerful than before, I might even need to use half my full power against them.' "Men! Protect the civilians. I'll take care of these two." I could feel the uncertain looks of my men, as they slowly floated away. "But Cap!" I heard Jeice try to reason, but I didn't even turn around. "Jeice, are you planning on disobeying a direct order!" I said, and Jeice gulped. "No Cap, it's just that..." I cut him off. "Well then go help the others protect the civilians! I can handle this on my own!" I felt Jeice's energy quickly move away, and I then charged at the two princesses, as we began our battle, but the only thing different this time, was that I don't plan on getting turned to stone. A magical pop filled one of the rooms in the castle, as the Elements of Harmony, and the Captain of the Royal Guard appeared in the room, all a little dazed. They quickly recovered, and the six mares quickly got a few steps away from the captain. Twilight then decided to walk forward. "Shining, you're my BBBFF, why can't you believe me when I tell you that the Ginyu Force is just misunderstood!" Shining Armor just growled. "Because you've been brainwashed Twily! You're the smartest mare I've ever met! Why can you realize that!" He retorted, taking a step forward, trying to assert his dominance. "I haven't been brainwashed! None of the Ginyu Force can even do that!" Twilight yelled, taking another step forward. "That's what they want you to think!" Shining Armor yelled back, as she pushed his snout against hers, and glared into her eyes. "Please Shining! You have to believe me!" Twilight's horn glowed, as she touched it against her brother's (in a way that shows friendship/family love). But to everyone's surprise, Shining raised his hoof up, and slapped Twilight across the room. "Stay away from my mind!" He yelled, in a fury, as Twilight's head impacted a table across the room. "How dare you hurt my friend!" Rainbow Dash yelled, as she flew straight at Shining Armor, but collided with a magic bubble shield. Before Rainbow Dash could even recover, Shining Armor caused the bubble to explode outwards, sending Rainbow flying back, where she collided with her friends. They all quickly got up, and had to hold Rainbow Dash back. "Calm down Rainbow, we can't have you getting knocked out, we need your help." Applejack tried to calm her friend. "But he hurt Twi! I don't care if it's her brother or not, no one hurts my friends!" Rainbow replied. "We're all angry, but we need to work together. Remember what the Ginyu Force told us, that the original ones would always fight one at a time, and because of that, they failed. The new Ginyu Force took that as advice, and decided to use their powers together, and they can vanquish any foe!" Rarity reminded. "So we need to work like that. Now, I have a plan." Shining Armor was holding back his tears, and because of this, he was ignoring the planning of the remaining five mares, but he didn't ignore Rainbow Dash charging at him again. He quickly put up a shield, which Rainbow collided with again. "Why didn't you learn? I won't let you get by my defenses Rainbow Dash!" "I did learn, and if all it took was a little pain to defend my friend, then I'd take it." Rainbow mumbled, and Shining Armor noticed her smile, and quickly looked over to see the other four mares were gone. He was about to look around the room, but he didn't need to, as his shield was being assaulted by small rocks coming from behind him. He turned around, keeping the shield up, as he looked to an angry Rarity. "That won't work! I have spent years of my life developing this shield! It's the ultimate shield!" Shining Armor yelled, but Rarity kept assaulting the shield. To everyone's surprise, Burter temporarily showed up in the room. "The ultimate shield is from a different anime, idiot!" He disappeared as quickly as he appeared, and the mares used this distraction to their advantage, as Applejack quickly began an assault on the shield, and Fluttershy flew up right next to it, and used the Stare to force Shining Armor to look in one direction, and unable to focus on anything else. "What don't you get about ultimate shield?!" Shining Armor yelled, still unable to look away, so he couldn't see Pinkie jump into the air above him. "Shield BREAKER!" Pinkie yelled, as she harnessed an ability that was passed down her family for generations, as it was taught to Surprise by the Ginyu Force. The instant Pinkie impacted the shield, it broke into a million pieces, leaving Pinkie to fall upon a dazed Shining Armor, and allowing the other mares to jump on him as well, and prevent him from escaping. "You think this will hold me back?! I didn't become captain of the guard for nothing!" Shining's horn glowed, as all the mares were flung back. Shining started breathing heavily, as all the magic he's been using has started to take a toll on him. The mares all got back up, and were charging at him at the same time, before a loud yell permeated the air. "STOP!" The room vibrated from the yell, and all ponies looked over to see Twilight stumbling over to the middle of the room. "Twi! You're okay!" Applejack said with a smile on her face, before it faded as she noticed the blood dripping down her face. "Oh my..." "Twily? Are you okay?" Shining Armor asked hesitantly, as Twilight turned to face him, and Shining gasped in surprise as the damage he caused her. Her horn was cracked, and half her face was covered in blood, coming from a wound near her temple. Shining Armor realized that Twilight almost died from the blast, but then a thought from back when he was in school appeared in his mind. 'Cognitive recalibration. Anypony under the affects of mind-control are freed after a hard impact to the head.' Shining Armor tried to take a step forward, thinking that Twilight was free of the Ginyu Force's mind-control. As Shining Armor tried to approach her, Twilight fired a spell out of her fractured horn, and pushed Shining back, but hurt her at the same time. "Stay away from my friends. I don't know why you don't believe us when we tell you that the Ginyu Force is just misunderstood." Hearing those words shocked Shining Armor to his core. 'She wasn't mind-controlled? That means that I... oh Celestia!' "I'm sorry! I didn't realize that you weren't under mind-control! Please forgive me!" Shining yelled, as he tried to get near Twilight, as he started crying, but Twilight kept him at hoof's length. "Why did you change your mind about us?" Rainbow Dash asked. "You could be lying so that you can trap us." "Cognitive Recalibration." Shining Armor said, and all the mares understood what he meant. "I'm sorry for hurting all of you, I thought you were all under the monster's mind-control." "They aren't monsters. They're just misunderstood." Pinkie said, her usual happy tone gone. "Now we have to go and help the Ginyu Force, as they're fighting the princesses, and we don't want them to be stoned again for a misunderstanding." All the ponies in the room nodded at that. "Just give up already, foul monster!" Luna yelled, as she fired another Dragonball enhanced blast at Ginyu, who flipped over it in mid-air, and fired a galick gun in return at Luna's horn, who managed to hold it back by firing a beam at it, creating a beam struggle over Canterlot. "I will never give up!" Right as Ginyu yelled that, Celestia hit him in the back with her own continuous beam. "Never give up, never surrender!" Ginyu yelled, as he held his other hand out to push against Celestia's beam, and fired a Kamehameha towards her, trapping him between two beam struggles. "We have him on the ropes sister! Let's finish this!" Celestia yelled to Luna, who nodded, as they both flooded their beams with their magic, pushing back Ginyu's own beams. "KAIO-KEN! TIMES! FOUR!" Right as Ginyu yelled that, his body glowed red, and his beams broke through the two alicorn's beams, and knocked them back, which he used this time to fly over, and grab both of their heads, before impacting them against each other. The two sisters recovered, and floated a few feet away. "His power is still stronger than ours! How can we defeat him without the Elements?" Luna asked her sister. "I don't know Sister, but we have to defeat him, for our little ponies." The two sisters nodded, and were about to attack Ginyu again, but a loud sound coming from the sky made all three of the fighters look up to see a giant object coming down from the atmosphere. "No." Ginyu said, fear crawling into his voice, which caused both princesses to look surprised that something could scare the powerful fighter. They all watched as the ship landed in the middle of Canterlot, and the top opened up, and a small white and purple bipedal creature with a tail floated out, before floating up to Ginyu. "Ah, there you are Ginyu. I've looked all over the cosmos for you and your team." The creature then looked around, noticing the destruction. "I see you've been fighting the locals? Even after you five disappeared, you still tried to exert my rule." The creature's voice sounded distinctly feminine. The two princesses looked at this strange creature, not expecting Ginyu to take orders from someone else, and by the fact that Ginyu looked terrified, made the two ponies terrified as this creature could be stronger than Ginyu. Celestia cleared her throat and spoke up. "What do you mean, 'your rule?' This is my country, and I won't let you aliens take it!" Celestia fired a powerful beam at the new creature, who didn't even try to block. Both Princesses smirked, expecting the creature to be dead, but their smirks faded, as their jaws dropped, once they saw the white and purple creature just floating there, as if it wasn't hit at all. But the scary part was that it had an annoyed look on it's face. "You're nothing but a work animal, horse. Do you have any idea of who I am? I am the almighty Lord Frieza." Frieza held his finger up, and a purple light shined from it, before it got sent flying at Celestia. "NO!" A voice yelled, and a figure suddenly appeared in front of Celestia, as the beam penetrated it's neck, before the beam cut off the entire head. The two ponies looked in shock, and Ginyu looked in fear and rage, as Guldo's headless body fell to the ground. The two ponies couldn't understand it. Why would a terrorist die defending the two creatures who have constantly tried to defeat them. They both realized at the same time that maybe Twilight's claims were right, and the Ginyu Force was misunderstood. But all of that would be dealt with once this monster was gone. "Huh, Ginyu, did you order Guldo to do that?" Frieza asked, not a care in the world that he killed someone. Ginyu's body started shaking, as he clenched his hands, and looked downward. "No I didn't. He was following the promise of an old friend, who told us to always try to protect those who need it." Ginyu charged at Frieza, surprising him, and Ginyu grabbed his neck. "I WILL NEVER FOLLOW A MONSTER LIKE YOU! I MAY BE CAPTAIN GINYU OF THE GINYU FORCE, BUT I AM NOT THE SAME AS HIM! NOW PREPARE TO DIE FRIEZA!
