Oozaru Saga
Chapter 11: Research is Weird
'Lab coats...those...bastards.' Memories of the time locked in the lab overshadowed Ken's rational thinking, saiyan instinct took over and he lowered himself into an animalistic fighting stance, eyes full of fear and rage.
The lab coats didn't affect Kira as much as Ken, but she still felt the hatred and fear for scientist, she lowered herself into the turtle style fighting stance, determined not to let Ken or herself go through them again.
Lyra, Twilight, and the Princesses instantly saw the reaction between the humans and the three ponies. And that reaction didn't seem like a good one at all. From what they gathered from both Twilight's letters and personal experience, Human emotions were very much like pony emotions. That meant those faces the humans were putting up now meant two strong words, Hate and Fear.
The Three ponies entered the room, unaware of the human's reactions to them. Brilliant Bristle a stallion unicorn, was a pony with a light green fur coat, with a simple chocolate brown mane and tail colored style which were long and slender, His cutie mark was a microscope with a leaf in the lense. Another was a earth pony called Zooey Buck, was a mare with white fur coat and a striped dark and light blue mane and tail color. Her mane was cut short, and her tail was fuzzy, her cutie mark consisted of two deer cuddled up to each other.
The Last pony was a stallion unicorn, was a dark red coat with a green and black striped mane and tail color, his mane was cut sharped in all edges and his tail was spiky and long, his cutie mark consisted of a black Manticore paw print. He also had a scar over his left eye.
It was when they almost received a punch in the face when they realized them. Ken lept had them just now inches away from punching Brilliant's jaw across the floor. However, thanks to Princesses quick reaction, The saiyan child found himself floating in mid-air struggling to get free.
"Whoa! Thanks Princess, it almost hit me." Brilliant said, walking around the saiyan child, he was carrying a couple of large saddle bags.
Zooey was staring into the eyes of Ken who was staring not at her face, but her coats. She appeared to make a connection. "Guys take off your coats." she said has she slowly took her off.
"Why should we?" Ziek asked, clearly confused on the request.
"Because if we don't, then we're going to have a major fight on our hooves." She deadpaned on him. He shrugged and took off his coat.
Lyra knew partially why her humans reacted at such a way, and thought of a quick way to get them to calm. "Ken, Kira." The two saiyan hybrids looked at her. "They aren't scientist, they are good doctors that want to make sure you don't get sick in the future."
One of the Scientist wanted to say something but getting a quick glance from the Princess shut him up quickly. The saiyans, through still very alert and defensive calmed a bit enough not to charge and attempt to kill them. The Princess let down Ken, who back stepped toward Kira keeping his eyes glazed at the three.
'At least they got rid of their lab coats.' Ken thought, he hated seeing those things. 'It's a sign, that they took them off means that they mean no harm, just because they had lab coats doesn't mean their here to take you away.'
'Ken are you alright? Did that magic stuff hurt you?' Concernedly asked Kira.
'Yeah, I'm fine. Chris said they might be good guys, but don't let your guard down. I still don't trust them.' Ken growled as he thought that to Kira.
A little while later, all the equipment of Princesses scientist had been set up, many luckily have been disguised to appear more friendly toward the humans. 'And a good thing too, wouldn't want them to get rifled up again.' thought Lyra.
Princess Celestia and her Sister Princess Luna, walked up to the two humans who were eating some bananas while sitting on a blanket Twilight had set up for them.
Celestia looked upon the two seemingly filly humans. "They are quite adorable wouldn't you say so Lu Lu?" she said smiling as the children giggled at a bit of banana that got stuck on the female human's nose.
Luna walked up toward them slowly, she was never into animals that were daytime creatures...however these seem connected somehow. Luna noticed that every time the humans got a look at her their tails would start twitching and their bodies tense up slightly. This reaction never happened to Tia has when they looked at her sister, nothing would happen and they would just continue on what they were doing before.
Luna looked at them, and thought aloud. "Does thou have a relation with us?" Celestia looked at her sister.
"Do you have a connection with these creatures? I've noticed them seem to slightly react towards you."
"We do not know, We...I feel connected to them as I would with any nightly creature." The Night princess responded.
The Zoologist, Zooey, throttled over the humans when getting close she slowed down her speed and made direct eye contact with them. Keeping eye contact she slowly walked up to them with an item in her hoof. Gently she asked the humans. "Is it ok with you, that I can take a blood sample? It be over before you know it."
Caught in surprise that she asked them permission too, the saiyans nodded and let her take a bit. Zooey held up a two separate needles and took a bit a blood from both Ken and Kira, afterward she placed a small band-aid on the spots and said. "Now that wasn't so bad, now was it?" Her experience with animals rivaling Fluttershy's.
Zooey walked back toward the other two, Ziek wasn't much of a scientist but being the leader of the EIOSES, he had have much experience with carnivores and other beast and had taken a habit in taking in details of physical appearance and strengths. So he was making notes on those things, many of them questions on the strength of humans.
"Ah, the blood. May I see one of them, preferable the male please?" Brilliant asked, he had set up a microjector, a device that shows magical pictures of zoomed in material onto the wall, kinda like a microscope and projector combined.
Brilliant inserted a drop of the human blood onto a glass and put it into the microjector, zooming in so far to see the basic DNA strand and take a picture of it. When he looked into the screen he gasped in shock.
Everypony rushed and saw the screen, Zooey also gasped being in tuned to science and not magic she knew what was different. "What is it? Tell me Please!" Lyra asked out loud.
"OK, everypony look here." Brilliant levitated a long stick and pointed at the DNA Strand. "Notice anything different from an average ponies DNA picture?
Twilight looked at the picture and discovered the differences. "The strand is longer and it has miniature spikes coming out of the strand at many many corners."
Brilliant nodded "Correct, did you know the longer the strand the more magical energy it's able to harness?" Lyra and Ziek were shocked. "According to all the magical DNA strands in Equestria, the longest one being an Alicorns. However, now the Alicorn one has a match in length."
Everypony was completely dumbfounded, If what he says is true, Humans have a magical capabilities with the strength of Alicorns!
"Now Now, I know your shocked, as am I. But it seems the strand is still different, while it may match length. The human' magical abilities do not match them." He took in a breath and continued. "Although the length is shocking, the more interesting part is the miniature spikes."
"Whats so important about the spikes?" Lyra questioned.
Brilliant smiled and said "They represent an aspect of ever-adaption, Meaning that the humans are adaptable to every element, not only that but this indicates that theses humans bodies grow stronger, more powerful, and even faster with every moment they fight." he took a gasp of air. "Basically in lay-pony's terms, it means those humans." he pointed at Ken and Kira who were seemly communicating with each other. "Evolved for the purpose of war, battle, and survival."
Seeing everyone's shocked expressions, then seeing the Princesses think, he thought of what he just said, and quickly added. "But that doesn't mean they will do those things! Oh no, think for a moment, What is a Dog? It's a carnivore species that evolved from wolves that preyed on ponies however due to our domestication and teaching in kindness they are now docile pets that help us and give us companionship." He left them hanging a minute before continuing "The same goes for these humans, from notes taken on their behavior from Lyra, and the current behavior right now. Indicates they have moved past their primitive purpose and are now docile and only seek companionship." He remembered when they first entered. "For the most part."
"So, I'm assume they aren't a danger to pony kind?" Celestia asked.
"Nope! They aren't a danger to us, they appear to be fond of us as we are fond to them." said Zoologist Zooey.
Ziek looked up from his notes towards everypony "So, shall we test their physical strengths and weaknesses? Lyra have you discovered anything revolving those?"
Lyra looked thoughtful for a moment, she knew her little humans didn't want anypony to know about magic, so that was out of the question. She didn't really know about strength, but they did have a incredible healing speed and also had a tail weakness. And their hands were extremely...well...handy.
"Well, their hands are dexterous can easily grasp objects that are harder for hooves too, They also have a extremely fast healing speed. Kira had a claw injury that was very nasty, we wrapped it up and the next day it was almost fully gone! And I only know of one
weakness, and that would be when something grabs or lands on their tail they appear to lose all their strength." She said to all of her knowledge, with the exception of Human magic.
"As expected, the humans have Alicorn healing rate as well. But anything else? Anything involving magic?" Ziek questioned with curiosity clear in his face.
"Umm." Lyra looked at her little humans, who were now paying attention to everypony. They were doing puppy eyes at her, pleading her not to tell, which she was not immune to. "No, I haven't seen the Humans do anything magic related."
Lyra could swere she saw a small frown appear on Ziek's face, but it was quickly replaced with a smile.
Celestia spoke up "Shall we see how they react toward Solar and Lunar waves?" The Scientist nodded and got small notepads with quills and ink.
Everypony walked up to the saiyans who were eying them questioningly. Hay, you could see their tails formed into question marks at their confusion. Celestia was first, her horn lit up and the warm embrace of what felt like the sun coated over the saiyans. They released all tension and relaxed in its bath, soon they were laying on each other humming a unknown tune. Celestia stopped the solar waves she was generating and the scientist took notes on their reaction. Soon the human hybrids came back too and were confused once again, they looked onto Luna and felt a little tense once again.
Now it was Luna's turn, she was curious to how they would react to her Lunar waves, she began casting them onto the humans...but the only reaction she got was that they froze, she continued and everypony watched.
The Humans eyes turned red, their tales went limp and their bodies started to bump repeatedly...everypony could even hear the sound of heartbeats loud and clear. Somehow this reaction did not mean well, so Luna stopped her waves. And the bumping calmed down and the Human's eyes returned to normal, and...they fainted.
"What...was...that?" Questioned Twilight, her eyes fixed on the small human children.
"We thought they might have a connection with Us, I mean me." Luna's face was serious, she had seen some sort of starting phase for some sort of transformation, being a Goddess of the Moon, she could see Lunar waves.
"Sister, could you please explain how your lunar waves affected them." Asked Celestia, she could not see Lunar waves, but instead solar waves.
Remembering to keep with modern speech, Luna replied. "Sister, and Extemed Scientist, When I was generating my Lunar waves unto them, they started absorbing them through their eyes, in which the tales traveled to their tails. In my eyes, the tail lit up like a full moon and a unknown magic burst through the two filly's bodies, causing some sort of transformation event. Seeing this, I stopped my waves and absorbed them back into me in which they left the Human's bodies and the stress from what We...I can guess from the transformation made them faint."
"Lu Lu, how many waves were you generating?" Said Celestia, 'And did you sense that strange energy in them as well? It is very similar to magic, but different.'
"About a little more then the full moon creates, sister." she replied. 'Yes, it is most peculiar.'
"Looks like we're have to wait for them to awaken."
About half an hour later, Ken and Kira awoke. It was now lunch time, and everypony had some sandwiches to eat and the saiyan hybrids had more assortments of fruits and vegetables, through they wish to have some fish now.
Ken swallowed his food. 'I think we should go fishing sometime.'
'Agreed' Kira replied taking another bite out of a apple.
Unaware of saiyan hearing that could easily hear across the room, Lyra, Twilight, and the Princesses were chatting about what the children had been doing most of the time.
"So, have you petted the humans? What did it feel like?" Said Twilight, causing Lyra to blush a bit.
"Well, Bon-Bon and I petted Ken's mane, it felt quite thin and smooth. He seemed to enjoy it." She grinned and rubbed her hoof behind you head.
"Have you, petted their tails?"
"...No, never thought of it because it seems to hurt them when grabbed." At this the small group got curious, and look over to the human children. Apparently Kira heard them and got curious herself, When ken turned around to grab another fruit she gently held his tail and started stroking it.
The effect was instantaneous, Ken relaxed instantly and slowly began humming in pleasure. Kira giggled and continued stroking her twin's tail, soon Ken started to slowly fall asleep and layed on the ground. Kira stopped stroking when she realized everypony started watching them when Ken started humming, Ken slowly began to wake up again and looked at his sister.
'What did you do to me? That felt really good.' He asked mentally, as he got up and his tail slipped out of Kira's hands.
'I was wondering what would happen if someone pets our tails, and I got curious and decided pet yours.'
Zooey put it down on some notes on the sensitivity of human tails. She whispered to her companions "it seems Human tails are more sensitive then pony ones." in which the others nodded.
The day went on, there were some basic test, such as school stuff in which the saiyans only understood basic math and were completely oblivious to Pony language. Some arts and crafts for fun, to see how dexterous their hands were and which the saiyan children excelled at making some good pieces of art, mostly pictures of Lyra, and Themselves. They also had an x-ray from the biologist, and a few pieces of their hair was cut off for future medical purposes, amazingly their hair started growing back the lost pieces and was back to normal in only an hour.
After all that, the scientist decided to stop for the day and continue another day, they knew full well that nopony nor creature likes to be stuck in a place for too long.
The three pony scientist collected their belongings and left the library Princess Celestia went with them. Princess Luna however wished to discuss something.
"Lyra heartstrings, We would like to speak with thou." said Luna. Lyra walked up to her, Kira currently helping Spike clean up the mess, which he was thankful for.
"What is it Princess?" Lyra Questioned.
"The Full Moon is out tonight, and we are unsure whether or not the humans will react to them, could you bring them here?"
"Kira! Come here please!" Lyra yelled to the back of her, The female hybrid skipped over to them. Luna lit up her horn and performed a spell. The Child's tail glowed a blue aura before the aura disappeared.
"What did you do?" Lyra asked confusingly.
"I performed a spell so that her tail deflects Lunar waves, just in case, Now where is your other human?"
They looked around, and then outside, where they saw him, staring into the sky, at a bright white full moon.
"Uh oh."
