Pony Saga
Chapter 8: Warrior Instincts
The door into the room where the two newest siblings were, opened widely to reveal two familiar ponies. Ken released a breath he had held in, and visible calmed, his newest sister doing the same. Lyra Heartstrings walked a little closer, her eyes fixed on the female clone besides Ken.
'It's just... Mom and her friend.' He thought to his newly gained sister telepathically.
'Um,' The little girl looked at Lyra curiously. 'If she's your mom, does that make her my mom too?' She questioned, her heart beating faster, bits of fear tingling within if she was denied the chance to get the same mother.
'Think so, I don't see why not!' Ken replied with confidence.
Lyra spoke up, "Twilight, why does that female human look like Ken?" She questioned.
"I'm not sure, the cloning spell was originally designed to make an exact temporary copy. But, the spell's purpose was to clone ponies, most likely Ken's unique biology affected the spell differently. As well as a premature casting on my part." Twilight explained as best as she could at the current moment.
Lyra walked up to the female saiyan hybrid, lifting the girl's arm and examining the wrist collar. "Did you put this here, Twilight?" She asked.
"No, it came with the spell, why?" Twilight asked, inspecting the two human children.
"Because it says her name is Kira." Lyra replied, "I can take her with me, I can care for both of them."
Twilight nodded, "Alright, I'm not sure they'll appreciate being separated from one another anyway," the bearer of Magic said.
A few minutes later, Fluttershy had inspected to see if there were any injuries, but none were to be found. Lyra helped Twilight repair the broken doorway and door. Finally, the two saiyan twins were downstairs telepathically talking to each other.
'So, once we get back home, want to eat something?' Ken asked, his tail curling up behind him.
'Sure, I hungry.' Kira replied as her stomach growls.
"Come on Ken, Kira, time to go!" Lyra yelled to them.
Ken and Kira got up, and followed their adoptive mother toward her home. As they entered the household, the two stomachs of the children growled in wanting. And they both looked to Lyra for food.
Lyra giggled "I guess we're all a little hungry." She said.
'I'm starving through!' Ken wanted to answer, but shut his mouth.
'We can wait a little more, I'm sure we'll get something soon.' Kira thought to her twin, knowing his hunger like her own.
The mint green unicorn led the two hybrids toward the dining room, telling them to wait as she prepared some food. After a minute, they started to hear some sounds from the kitchen. Kira grew curious, and entered the kitchen room to see what happened.
The little seven year old entered the kitchen, and blinked multiple times as she saw Lyra in a pile of silverware. Kira hand moved to her mouth as she giggled in response, before going help Lyra by lifting the dishes off of her.
"Thanks Kira, I'm not usually the one who makes the food around here." Lyra said, releasing a small giggle at her own misfortune. "Perhaps I better make a simple meal instead." She finished, using her magic to lift up the rest of the dishes.
Kira smiled, and walked back to Ken's location.
After a good meal, Lyra had dozed off on the couch, exhausted from the day's activities. Meanwhile, Ken and Kira Altarmore exited the household, and promptly entering the backyard. The Z-fighter Chris, sealed within Ken, thought it best to get some more training in while Lyra slept.
'Chris said we should train.' Ken thought to Kira.
'You should spar, it is a much more effective way to hone your skills and increase your strength.' Chris told the young boy.
'He says we can spar, it's a better way to train!'
'Okay! Um... Should we hold back Ki attacks then?' Kira replied, shifting into crude fighting stance.
'You two should also endeavor to try enhancing your bodies with Ki, with this you'll gain more familiarity with your Ki energy.'
'Oh, and Chris also said to... Uh... Make our bodies stronger using our Ki! Besides that, no Ki attacks.' Ken retold what he heard to Kira.
Kira nodded in response, in which Ken smiled happily and took a few steps away to have a good distance between them both.
By the time they were at least a few meters apart, both within crude basic fighting stance, they stared down at each other in anticipation. Waiting for the one another's movement.
Suddenly, Kira jumped in first, moving with a burst of speed as she leapt toward Ken. The twin brother shifted his right arm up which blocked a incoming kick from Kira.
Ken thrust his left arm forward, punching Kira's right shoulder blade. She jumped back from him, recollecting her balance. Ken took to the offensive, running up to her with as much speed as his small legs could muster. Kira punched in front of her, but Ken stopped before it could hit and moved his head to the left to avoid being hit. Ken then moved his right leg up, attempting to kick Kira's left side, but the little girl saw it coming and barely managed to perform an afterimage.
Ken's eyes widened as Kira's figure disappeared in a hazy image. He stepped back, looking around for his newly gained sister. Only for Ken only to receive a blow to the head from above.
Ken face platted the dirt. His sister moving a bit back, taking a quick breather before proceeding to rush at Ken once more. But Ken quickly recollected his thoughts, getting up and performing a full three-sixty smack across Kira's face with his tail.
Both twins leaped away from each other, breathing heavily with the thrill of excitement on their faces. Their saiyan sides enjoying the fight and urging for more. After a few short minutes, the two hybrid's breathing became calm again, however Ken had the advantage has some of hits he received were already healing due to Chris's Ki.
'Not bad Ken! This is really exciting! Kira said, her tail wagging in happiness.
'Thanks! Your not too bad either, Kira!' Ken responded, as he began to channel Ki into his leg muscles.
Kira leapt forwarded and proceeded to rush at Ken, he threw punches at his face which he responded by redirected them toward the air by moving her hands away from him. The little girl kept punching but her brother raised his knee up slammed it into Kira's stomach. Kira grasped her stomach with her hands, then received a kick that sent her flying backward.
Now it was Ken's turn, he used a nearby tree to propel himself through the air toward Kira. Kira got up, and saw Ken rushing toward her fast. Thinking quickly, Kira sent her foot straight up which hit Ken's chin and sent him flying upward. Ken then crashed into the ground groaning a bit in pain. Kira fell to her knees, grasping for breath.
'Wow... That was cool... You okay Ken?' She thought to Ken, raising her head to look at Ken, who had risen to his knees, still gasping for air.
'Yeah... I'll be fine in a couple of minutes... Cause Chris heals me faster.' Ken informed, spreading a small grin toward her direction. 'Hey Chris, I was just wondering... Are their any special attacks?'
'Yes, their are a number of Ki techniques which I could teach you. Including a variety physical techniques as well, now that your body is getting more in tune to your Ki energy, it should be easier to learn them.' The Z-fighter replied.
Ken's smile grew wider, during the fight he had been directing his Ki toward his punches and kicks. Ken stood up, still breathing slightly heavily, and walked over to Kira who was still on her knees. Once near her, Ken sat down, Kira sitting up as well.
'Hey Kira, you okay? Chris said that he would teach us some awesome Ki techniques.' Ken asked in concern.
Kira looked at Ken, she could see his wounds healing faster then hers. She envied him slightly for that, but brushed it aside as she had matched him in combat.
'I'll be fine, so what kind of techniques?' Kira questioned.
'Uh let me ask him, hey Chris-' he was cut off when Chris responded...
'We will start off with a family technique, a formidable wave of Ki energy that shoots outward from the palms. The Kamehameha Wave can prove quite powerful once mastered. Over the course of your training, I'm going to show you techniques that both you and Kira can use. And depending if you too should vary in fighting styles, some more fit for you than her, and vice versa.'
"Techniques like those of the Z-Fighters! Goku, Piccolo, Krillian, and Gohan! He's going to teach us the Kamehameha!" Ken said to her in excitement, forgetting to use telepathy.
Kira also discarded the use of telepathically for her voice, "Really!? Right now! Show me, show me, show me!"
The two children were jumping up, holding hands as they spun in a circle, meanwhile inside Ken's mind, a adult chuckled at their antics.
'Alright, alright, just hold on, and remember to use telepathy. Now, what's the position of the sun and moon' Ken glanced toward the sky, to see the sun setting over the horizon, and the moon rising on the other side. Weird, he was sure the moon never rose before... Oh well!
'Mm, nearly a Full moon, you and Kira should not look at the moon for the next three days. Unless you want to go on a rampage as a giant monkey.' Chris grinned remembering a certain time when that happened. 'I'm going to show you how it's done, and your going to show Kira alright? And don't use Ki for the stances.'
Chris projected certain images in Ken's mind, the positioning and motions required to make a Kamehameha Wave. He repeated the process two more times, making sure the seven year old child could remember it clearly so he could relay it to his sister correctly.
'Okay! Kira, watch me and copy!' Ken started it off, going through the motions and saying the words, not using Ki.
'I think I got it, let's practice it!' Kira replied with confidence.
'KA/KA' The two twins cupped their hands in front of the their bodies, their feet angling themselves into the correct position.
'ME/ME' They slowly moved their hands to their sides.
'HA/HA' Now their hand were fixated right above their waist line.
'ME/ME' A small glowing blue orb started to appear in between Kira's palms.
'HA!/HA!' Their hands shot forward, the blue orb of Ki within Kira's palms shooting a small beam that continued into the night sky, lighting it light blue for a short time, before vanishing seconds later.
'Kira WHY!/Oh NO!'
Turning around to get into the house, they spotted Lyra who eyes were wide open.
"What was... That."
