//------------------------------// // Saga 2: Rainbow's Lament; Dinner // Story: Equestria Girls: Battle of Gods // by The Zebra Hybrid //------------------------------// Man of Steel Saga 'Canterlot High' Rainbow Dash sat by the Wondercolt statue with an impatient look on her face; she would come here everyday after school and wait not wanting to miss the two teenage saiyans return. She would get looks from other students as they walked by her but she would pay no heed to them, she had to see Vegeta again. She had already tried to go through the mirror to see him, but was stopped by Sunset and Applejack; telling her is was too dangerous and who knows what would happen if she saw her pony self. So now here she was, sitting down in front of the Wondercolt statue playing with a stick and bored out of her mind. A couple of feet away Sunset Shimmer watched as Rainbow sulked, she hated seeing her friends like this and it was just not healthy for her. Sunset walked toward the blue-skinned athlete and sat down next to her. Rainbow paid no heed to her as she kept her gaze toward the statue. "Rainbow, me and the girls were going to get a slice of pizza." offered Sunset as Rainbow didn't answer. Sunset gave a defeated sigh, "Rainbow it's been over a week since you've been here." Still no answer. "Come on Dash, they'll be back before you know it." Rainbow turned to Sunset with a sad look on her face, "But what if they don't? What if they come and I miss them?" "Why would you think that?" "I-I-" Sunset put an arm around the rainbow haired girl, "Rainbow, Goku and Vegeta promised they'll come back. Especially Vegeta, but sitting here isn't going to make them come faster. Me and the other girls are worried about you." Rainbow fought back the tears that was starting to form in her eyes, Sunset was right what good would it help if she just stayed here moping? She admired the saiyan prince more than anything else, but if he was in the same position he wouldn't be depressed like she was now. He would stay strong and so would Goku. Rainbow nodded finally coming to terms, "A-alright, just give me a moment." "Take all the time you need." softly said Sunset as she got up to give Rainbow her privacy. The blue skinned girl focused her attention back to the statue and placed her hand on it as the magical ripples reacted to her touch. She let out sigh and pulled her hand away then stood up and walked to meet Sunset. "You better come back soon." whispered Rainbow. Twilight's Castle Goku and Goten sat impatiently at a large table in Twilight's table eyeing the delicious food that lay before him. Goku mouth was watering as his eyes were wide as saucers, he looked around to make sure nopony was around and stuck his hoof out to grab a nearby piece of bread only for it to be smacked away by Spike as Goten laughed at his father's attempt to get an early start. Goku now rubbed his sore hoof as Spike sent him a glare. "Aw come on! I'm starving over here!" Spike shook his head, "Is there anytime when you're not hungry?" "Hmmm, no not really." Twilight smiled at the two as she set the plates down at the table, she had to admit to herself that she was nervous of how this night was going to go. She still couldn't believe that Shining, Cadence and her parents agreed to come, it was good thing that the others would come too but the one thing she was most worried about is that her 'real' father ,Lord Beerus, is going to coming as well. She hoped he liked the food it that nopony says anything stupid, she rather likes the ones she cared for be in one piece when they returned home. A sudden knock at the castle door snapped her from her thoughts as she saw Spike get up from his seat."Don't worry Spike, I got it!" Twilight called out as Spike nodded and returned to his seat beside Goku. The purple alicorn quickly teleported to the door and took a deep breath expecting it to be Beerus and Celestia or Shining and the rest of her family. When she opened the door she was relieved to see the rest of her friends, the crusaders, and the Z-fighters standing beyond the door. "Great you guys made it!" she said happily as she welcomed them inside. "Thanks for having us." said Gohan. "It's the least I could do." replied Twilight as the group took their seats, Vegeta took his seat next to Goku, while Buu sat next to Pinkie, Gohan sat in between Videl and Rarity, Piccolo sat next to Applejack, Rainbow also sat next to Fluttershy, while the Goten, Trunks, the crusaders and Spike sat at their own table. Twilight noticed the eight empty seats, she sighed knowing who those seats were for and just hoped that this was a good idea and if not hoped that everyone will survive the night. Before Twilight sat down next to Goku though, there was another knock on the door, With speeds that confused everyone she rushed to the front door and took a deep breath before opening it, Standing there before her was her big brother Shining Armor, his wife Princess Cadence, and her parents Twilight Velvet and Night Light. "I'm so glad you could make it!" happily said Twilight as she gave the ponies in front of her a big hug. "So what's the matter Twily?" asked Shining Armor. "W-whatever do you mean?" asked Twilight with an innocent smile. She didn't want to tell them about Lord Beerus yet, but at least let them get to know the others before he gets here. Cadence gave the purple alicorn a serious look. "Come on Twilight, you ask for all of us to sit down for dinner suddenly. Something has to have happened." explained Cadence. Twilight gave an uneasy look, "Don't worry, Twilight" said her mother, "I'm sure whatever it is we'll work through it." "Your mother's right," added Night Light, "There is no problem we'll leave unresolved, so why don't you tell us what's the matter." Twilight rubbed her foreleg and looked away not sure if she should tell them or not. But they were right even though they weren't her real mother and father, they were still her parents that raised her for most of her life. Twilight nodded as she motioned them inside, but stopped them just before they entered the dining room. "What's wrong Twily?" asked Shining with a confused expression. "Before we go in, I just wanted to give you a warning." explained Twilight as the four ponies looked at each other before nodding, "I've managed to make a couple of more friends not so long ago,and they're....not from around here so I was just asking for you to not act to surprised when you see them. Also Princess Celestia is bringing a 'special' guest and I was wondering if you could be the nicest as you can be." "Come on Twilight," started Cadence, "There's nothing you need to worry about , I'm just kind of hurt that you made some new friends and didn't tell us about them yet. What's next you have a secret colt friend as well?" "Well..ahem....about that..." The four ponies eyes widened, "You do have a coltfriend do you?" asked Velvet. Twilight nodded, "And I'm guessing he's one of these 'friends' you just recently met?" added Shining. Twilight gave a light blush and nodded, "Then it seems me and the stallion need to have a little talk." smirked Shining Armor as Cadence gave a playful slap on the shoulder. "Now Shining there is no need to be protective." said Cadence. "In that case, how about we meet your new friends, Twily?" asked Night Light as the five ponies walked through the doors in to the dining room. What they saw couldn't even form into words, there in front of them was twilight's friends talking to...some interesting ponies they have never seen before. There before them was six more ponies and one fat...pink thing. They watched as the two colts one orange and the other a light purple talking with the crusaders and Spike and seem to be laughing. They set their gaze toward the dinner table and say a big green earth pony with pointy ears and what looked like antennae on his forehead with his head down and eyes closed. Then they they saw a another purple earth pony with a dark blue mare having a deep conversation with Rarity, while a dark blue earth pony stallion sat impatiently and seemed to be glaring daggers right at them. What really caught their eyes was the pink blob and the orange alicorn! "Ahem," coughed Velvet, "Twilight, where exactly did you say your friends were from?" Twilight gave a nervous smile, "Well, that's a long story, how about we sit down and get to know one another?" "I think that's a great idea," agreed Cadence. The five ponies walked to the table gaining the attention of the others, "Hello everypony," called out Twilight, "These are my parents , Twilight Velvet and Night Light. And this is my brother and his wife, Shining Armor and Princess Cadence." "Hi!"said Goku making the five ponies as he was now beside Twilight, "My name is Goku!" Being the first to regain her composure Cadence stuck her hoof out in a greeting manner, "Hello Goku, you can call me Cadence. So you're an alicorn?" Goku looked at his wings and felt the horn on his head, "I think so, wait if you're an alicorn too?" asked Goku as Cadence nodded, "That means you must be really strong right?" Before Goku could ask Cadene for a quick spar, Twilight stepped in, "Goku, here is my coltfriend I was telling you guys about." "Is that so?" asked Velvet, "Tell us Goku how did you and your...friends meet Twilight?" Goku chuckled with an innocent smile and rubbed the back of his head, "Well that's a long story." he said. "Don't worry Goku we have all night." replied Cadence as Goku nodded and started off with him training on King Kai's planet. While in the middle of the story there was another knock on the door. Twilight excused herself once again and motioned the orange alicorn to continue on with his story. Meanwhile Twilight rushed to the door with speeds that impressed Rainbow Dash and opened it having a bright smile on her face. Standing before her were the two princesses, Dende, Whis, and....Lord Beerus. Twilight gulped hoping that they would all survive the night. "It is quite rude to stare at us Twilight." stated Beerus as Twilight was snapped out of her trance. "O-oh sorry, come in," she apologized as she gave each of them a hug. She was about to lead them to the dining room until Dende stopped her. "You seemed troubled Twilight." Twilight tried her best to keep her composure, "Me? N-no I'm fine." "Twilight," said Celestia, "I've known you long enough to know that something is bothering you." Twilight guessed she could tell them what's going on since they might figure it out anyways when they walk in the dining room. A cough from an impatient god of destruction snapped her from her thoughts once again. She had grown more close to Lord Beerus but she had to admit the things he does scares her sometimes. "Well, you see," started Twilight, "I invited Cadence, Shining, and my...other parents." Whis nodded,"Ohhh, I see what's going on you want Lord Beerus and Celestia to meet your parents. So we could straighten out this whole adoption situation." Twilight nodded,"Yeah that pretty much sums it up." "Then let us begin the dinner." stated Luna. Twilight led the group to the dining room where Goku had just finished his story, and the ponies in the room looked with wide eyes at the god of destruction walking in the room. "So," he announced, "What do we have here to eat." Equestria Girls Universe Rainbow sat at a table inside Sugarcube Corner with Sunset Shimmer and her other friends laughing at Pinkie Pie who put two straws in her mouth and started to make walrus noises. Sunset was right if she was ever going to see the two saiyans again, standing around depressed wasn't helping, besides she is way too cool to be acting like she did. "Hey Sunset can I talk to you for a sec." asked Rainbow. "Sure," replied Sunset, "We'll be back." The other four girls nodded as Sunset and Rainbow walked to the bathroom, the two teenage girls walked in. Rainbow made sure no one else was inside with them before talking. "Hey I just wanted to say thanks for the advice." said Rainbow. Sunset put a hand on Rainbow's shoulder, "Think nothing of it Rainbow, I was just helping a friend in need." "But, if it weren't for you I would still be by that stupid statue. I would of maybe tried to crossover to see him." "Rainbow, it's okay to be worried for Vegeta and Goku. We all are, but just don't get too worried where you forget that you have other friends to comfort you. Plus I'm sure he's feeling the same way without you." "I guess you have a point there." "I promise you it'll be worth the wait." Twilight's Castle Vegeta had to admit he was surprised that no one set off Lord Beerus yet and that everyone else were getting along better than he hoped. The saiyan prince mostly been quiet the entire dinner although it was amusing watching the other ponies faces as him and the other saiyans inhale their food. He glanced over to his son watching as him and Goten conversed with the three small fillies that introduced themselves as the cutie mark crusaders. "I hope we end this soon." grumbled Vegeta, in truth he would've have never showed up here in the first place but he was only here because Trunks wanted to come. He was even surprised that the Namekian, Piccolo ,showed up. He glanced to see Gohan and Videl talking about how both their marriages had changed their lives, and saw Goku and Twilight talking to her parents and Celestia. Feeling bored he closed his eyes and just waited for the evening to be over until he felt a tap on his shoulder he turned his head to meet magenta irises staring back. "What?" grunted Vegeta as Rainbow gave a pouted look. "Hey no need to be a jerk. I was just going to ask what's wrong." replied Rainbow. "Nothing." "Are you sure? You don't look like you're having a good time." "And why should I? I rather be out training and not be close to the likes of you." Rainbow started to heat up bit at Vegeta's rudeness, "Hey! What do you mean by that! If you don't want to be here why come?" Vegeta motioned his head into the direction of the kids table as Rainbow saw the small purple colt laughing with Scootaloo. "Ohhhh, I get it you're here because Trunks?" asked Rainbow as Vegeta just nodded, "Heh, I guess you're not that big of a wet blanket after all." Vegeta grunted in response. "Okay what's wrong?" asked Rainbow. "I told you I'm fine." replied Vegeta. "No! You're not!" shouted the Rainbow as the room became quiet as everyone stared at the two, "I've tried to ignore it but I can't. Why can't you just talk to me like a normal pony?" "My business is none of your concern!" "Yeah right." Vegeta stood from his chair and glared daggers at the rainbow pegasus, "You are treading on thin ice." "What are you going to do!" Before things got out of hand Goku quickly jumped in between the two. "Hey, come on you two can you at least settle this later." pleaded Goku as Vegeta and Rainbow kept their glares fixed on each other. "I'm sorry Goku," apologized Rainbow, "but I'm not apologizing until I get an answer!" "And you're not getting one-" ACHOOOO! Everyone in the room turned to Pinkie who was not sneezing like crazy, Lord Beerus looked at the pink pony with curiosity. "What is wrong with the pink one?" he asked. "Oh, that's just Pinkie being Pinkie." suddenly said Twilight nervously as she scooted over to the Pink mare and whispered in her ear, "Pinkie what's wrong?" "It's my Pinkie Sense." she replied with another sneeze. "Really, what's this one?" "Oh, it means something unexpected going to happen." "But isn't that already what your-" Before Twilight could finish Piccolo quickly stood from his seat looked at the door with a serious expression. "What's wrong now Piccolo." ased Gohan as Piccolo kept staring. "Something's coming, and it's powerful." said Piccolo gaining the attention of the z-fighters. "I sense it too," stepped in Goku, "But there's something different about it." "Yeah, almost chao-" Before Piccolo could finish the walls next to them exploded in a cloud of smoke and crystal causing everyone to jump back. "Goten! Trunks! Get the crusaders and Spike to safety!" yelled Gohan as the two nodded and before the small fillies and dragon could react the two half breed colts picked up the now screaming fillies and flew out the nearest window. The remaining guest got into defensive stances, minus Beerus and Whis who were still enjoying their food, waiting for whoever to come through smoke. Their eyes all widened when a figure levitated inside the room his eyes glowing red and a purplish aura surrounding him. "DISCORD!?" shouted the main six, the two princesses, and the rulers of the Crystal Empire. "Yes it's little ol' me!" replied the spirit of chaos. "What are you doing, Discord!?" screamed Celestia. "Oh, I can't tell you that. That would ruin the surprise! My mistress demands it." "Mistress?" questioned Shining Armor. "You got that right! She's my new friend! Sorry Fluttershy." the timid pegasus with teary eyes turned her head away and was being comforted by Applejack whose glare was still fixed on the spirit of chaos. "Now, which one of you wants to challenge me first? Twilight? Or how about the two sisters? OH! I haven't faced the princess of love yet." Shining stood in front of his wife in a protective manner only to be flung away by a swipe of Discord's talon making the prince slam into the nearby wall. Discord help us a talo as a magical orb formed in his hand and aimed it toward Shining Armor and fired. The prince closed his eyes waiting for death to come, but opened them to see Vegeta deflect the orb back at the spirit of chaos who took it head on in a burst of smoke. Shining struggled to his hooves and watched as his savior got into a fighting stance. "T-Thanks." stutterd Shining. "Hmpf, just stay back, your women would like to prefer you in one piece. In the mean time I'm sending this jokester to hell." stated Vegeta. "I'm sorry, but how are you going to fight a spirit of chaos? You're just an Earth pony." Vegeta gave a cocky smirk toward Shining that made the Crystal prince's blood run cold, "I'm more than that." As fast as Discord and the other ponies can see(minus the Z-fighters) Vegeta stuck Discord in the gut making the spirit of chaos to fly out of the gaping hole in the wall leading to the outside. Vegeta charged up his ki and then flew after him leaving Shining Armor in a state of shock. "Wh-Why would Discord do this," sobbed Fluttershy, "I-I thought." "That wasn't who you think it was." commented Piccolo causing everyone to look at him. "What do ya' mean?" asked Applejack, "That sure look like Discord to me." "You didn't notice?" stepped in Dende as the ponies gave him confused looks, "Oh, that's right most of you can't sense energy. The discord you know is somehow being controlled by a type of magic. If you noticed the glowing red eyes." "But who would do such a thing?" asked Rarity. "The only ones we know who is capable of doing so is Chrysalis, but not even her magic is that strong to overpower Discord." commented Twilight. The group braced themselves as a tremor shook the castle, probably from Vegeta's and Discord's battle outside. "Twilight, you and the others stay here we'll handle this." ordered the orange alicorn with a serious expression. "Wait! Why can't we come?" protested Rainbow Dash. "Because you'll only get in the way." simply said Piccolo. "Don't worry, it's for your own good." said Gohan as the three fighters flew out of the castle. Meanwhile Beerus and Whis was watching the whole spectacle while stuffing their faces with food. "What a sudden turn of events things have become. Wouldn't you agree Lord Beerus." asked Whis. "indeed, to tell you the truth i'm in the mood for some entertainment. Plus I'm curious on how Vegeta would fair against a god of chaos." said Beerus putting another bread roll in his mouth. "Why don't we go see?" Beerus put a hand to his chin and thought for a second before nodding, "Alright, this food isn't going anywhere anyways." Sweet Apple Acres Meanwhile Goten and Trunks set down the crusaders and the baby dragon in front of Sweet Apple Acres. The three fillies and dragon looked terrified and were shaking uncontrollably. "Hey," suddenly said Trunks gaining the fillies and dragon's attention, "we gotta go kick some butt so can you stay here for the time being." "But you can't go back!" yelled Sweetie Belle. "Why not?" asked Goten. "Because that's Discord! That's why!" responded Spike, "The spirit of chaos and disharmony." "Wow! Really?! This is going to be fun." "Are ya' tow serious!?" questioned Applebloom as the two half saiyans just nodded. "But you two can't beat him by yourselves!" said Scootaloo. Trunks put a hoof to his chin, "Hmmmm, two?" that's when it clicked in his mind, "Of course! Goten you know what I'm thinking!" "Already ahead of you!" said Goten already getting into position as Trunks nodded and surprising to the crusaders and Spike they started to do weird movements. "FUUUU-" they said simultaneously. "SSSIIOOOONNNN-" "Goten Trunks I don't think this the right time to do a danc-" "HAAAAA!" before Sweetie Belle could finish the two colt's hooves touched creating a bright light that made them cover their eyes. Once the light dimmed their standing before them was a blue colt with a black and yellow vest. His Mane and tail were like Vegeta's but it was black with purple highlights. The crusaders looked in shock at the new comer in front of them, just what in Celestia's name did they do! The colt turned to them before flashing a smile, "G-goten, T-trunks-" stuttered Applebloom as the blue colt just laughed with a mixture of Goten's and Trunks' voice. "We aren't Goten or Trunks. I AM GOTENKS!!!" the colt screamed before transforming into his super saiyan form and shooting off toward the castle. Leaving the crusaders and Spike in a state of shock, wonder, and fear. The Crack of Time Demigra chuckled to himself, he didn't even think that things were going this well, with most of the Z-fighters preoccupied by Discord the Saiyan God known as Goku would fall right into his trap. He looked toward the Man of Steel, or Superman, that was under his control and did a simple nod. Superman nodded back and flew to his side, Demigra then opened a portal and ordered Superman to look inside, "You see that their my puppet." the demon god asked. "I-It's a high school?" said the possessed Superman. "Indeed, but not just any high school, these students are in possession of powerful magic and plan to take over and if YOU don't stop them. They'll destroy everything you cared about." lied Demigra as the Man of Steel clenched his fis in anger as his eyes shone a bright red. Demigra let out a mischievous grin and whispered one thing in Superman's ear. "Destroy them all." Demigra wathced as Superman disappeared into the portal as he started to laugh uncontrollably.
