//------------------------------// // The Reception // Story: My Little Pony GT // by Maniacal911 //------------------------------// Ponyville: Twilight's Treehouse Celestia has set the sun for the day and Twilight is carrying an unconscious Goku as he has been exhausted from the events of the day. "Spike, Goku's going to be staying here tonight so he can meet the Princess bright and early tomorrow." The purple dragon, already preparing the guest room, looks to see the giant red ape his sister levitated in. "That doesn't look like Goku to me. Wasn't he shorter when I met him earlier?" Spike points out as he looks at the sleeping saiyan in confusion. "Your guess is as good as mine, Spike. When the moon rose, he just changed into this. Maybe we'll be able to get an explanation tomorrow." Twilight then proceeds to take Goku upstairs to his quarters for the evening. "All I do know is he's hard a tough day and, like anypony else, he needs his rest." She then put him on the bed in a fetal position so he can fit without any of his limbs dangling off the sides. "I really hope somepony can explain this. This is like the Pinkie Sense all over again." The mare goes to her own room for the night as she continues to rack her brain over the saiyan. Canterlot Castle: Celestia's Quarters "Dear sister, dost thou sense this immense energy as well as us?" A blue alicorn exclaims in panic as she barges into the room. "Yes Luna, I do. But what does this mean? In all my life I have never felt a force as strong as this. Yet in spite of this immense power, I don't feel the slightest bit of hostility in it." The white alicorn also expresses her concern as she tries to rationalize it. "All we have to go on is this letter my student sent me earlier this morning. I have told her that I would investigate the matter first thing tomorrow." Dear Princess Celestia, This morning it was scheduled by the pegasi that it would be a clear sunny day. Yet a dark, spiral of stormclouds seemed to spawn over the Everfree Forest and expand over Ponyville. These clouds were accompanied by a golden glow in the center followed by what sounded like a dragon's roar. After a few seconds, the golden glow concentrated itself and crashed into the forest's center. Not too long after, the same golden glow then formed itself into what I counted to be seven orbs that spun around in a circle and split themselves apart in different directions. The dark clouds quickly dissipated after the orbs had split. I am submitting this letter to you for this is something I, nor anypony have ever seen before and hope that you would aid us in figuring out this situation. Your faithful student, Twilight Sparkle "Dark clouds, golden glow, and seven orbs." Celestia thinks to herself as she tries to put all the pieces together. "Perhaps it has to do with that energy as well. I might be able to figure it out when I get to Ponyville tomorrow. For now I must rest. Good night Luna." The sun alicorn lays herself to rest as she gestures a shoo to Luna. The Next Morning-Ponyville: Twilight's Treehouse *yawn* "Where am I?" Goku gets out of bed as he looks out the window of his room to see the sun risen once again. He walks downstairs to see Twilight and Spike talking to their ruler, Princess Celestia. "Morning Twilight, Spike, and... who's the taller, white horse?" He asks as he gestures toward Celestia. Twilight immediately reprimands the saiyan with a quick whisper. "She's not a horse. She's an alicorn and our ruler at that. Also, I meant to ask you last night. What happened? When the sun set and the moon rose, you suddenly grew turning into what you are now." Goku then looks at himself in the mirror to find he is in his Super Saiyan 4 state. "I guess I went Super Saiyan 4 instead of turning into a giant ape. Well how about that." He then proceeds to undo the transformation right before their eyes. "There we go." The unicorn then directs herself to her teacher. "Princess Celestia, this is who I was talking about. This is Goku." Celestia directs herself to Goku, giving him a look that seemed to peer into his soul. "As my student must have told you before, I am Princess Celestia, ruler of this nation Equestria. It's a pleasure to meet you Goku." Goku, never knowing the appropriate etiquette for meeting royalty, nonchalantly addresses the princess. "Twilight said that you raised and set the sun. I was under the impression you were a god or something." The alicorn, always quick with a response, answers the saiyan's inquiry while giving one of her own. "They praise me like one I guess, but I actually do raise and set the sun. It's a special type of magic only I can and must do. So Goku, Twilight told me about what happened yesterday. Do you think you could tell us what happened?" "Sure. It's a long story though. You might wanna take a seat." Goku states as waits for them to be seated before proceeding to tell them his epic tale. "It all started with these magical balls called the dragonballs. There are seven in total. When you bring all of them together, you can summon the eternal dragon to grant one wish. Well it used to be one wish, but that's another story. Anyway, we got ourselves into trouble a lot with the fate of our planet and sometimes the whole universe at stake. So every time trouble came, we would use the dragonballs to bring back all the innocent people that would die. What we didn't know was that when we used the dragonballs, they would fill up with negative energy each time. Eventually, they cracked from the pressure and the shadow dragons came. They reeked havoc all over the planet and it was up to me to defeat them. After I defeated Omega Shenron, the dragonballs were pure again and the original dragon, Shenron, came out of the dragonballs without a summon. He said that he needed to take the dragonballs away from the Earth so they wouldn't have to rely on them or me anymore and I went with him knowing they'd be in good hands. Next thing I know, I'm here and the dragonballs are split again like they used to except this time there's no dragon radar to find them." After taking their time to soak in everything he said, Celestia walks up to Goku. "Wow. I... I don't know what to say. I am truly astonished. I was looking into your memories the whole time. I apologize, but I felt obligated to because I feared that with your immense power, you would be a threat to my little ponies. But now I see I couldn't be further from the truth. Your life and everything that happened in it. You literally went to hell and back for the sake of others." Celestia then hangs her head down in shame only to lift it up in determination. "You need not worry Goku. We'll help you find the dragonballs. We'll-" Goku stops the princess before she can continue. "No. If I've learned anything it's that the dragonballs shouldn't be used so much. We shouldn't need them. If someone happens to find all seven on their own then it's ok, but there's no magic in something if it's only a means to an end. Let someone find them eventually. They'll be spread all over the planet not to be used again for a long time." "Very well. But what of this Shenron? He brought you here did he not? Since you're so far away from home, what exactly do you intend to do from now on?" Celestia looks to Goku with curiosity. The saiyan, unable to come up with anything, gives his honest response. "I'll just hang around Ponyville I guess. I already made some great friends here and I don't think I'd be comfortable anywhere else." DBZ Universe: Hell "We learned our lesson last time yes Doctor Myu?" "Yes Doctor Gero. We didn't have enough manpower last time. That is why we are getting the assistance of all who have fallen at his hand. Muahahahahahaha!"
