When the Elements of Harmony fail to stop the incredible destructive force of yet another foe, will a particular pink earth pony find her inner strength to stand up and fight for her friends' lives (and for the whole Equestria for that matter)?

Tagged Crossover for the heavy Dragon Ball Z reference (and a smaller one of Naruto). No characters from either anime/manga appear in Equestria, as I strongly believe that ponies should resolve their problems on their own. ;)
Rated Teen just to be on the safe side (it's a Dragon Ball style fight, after all :P ).

Mother of Celestia, what have I done...
Hot blooded Pinkie and Surprise thumbnail? I like.
This...This is full of win!
Epic!
you sir get 1 internet point
What the
This was LEGENDARY! 
and RainbowPie over it! 
This fic is more than epic!
This "lending strength" thing...
Earthbound is all I can say.
Well that was weird and I doubt I'll ever read it again but that was quite a fun and enjoyable ride. Nice work.
EPIC WIN
Good, extremely good
EXTREMELY COOL
OH GOD!!

So many Dragon Ball fans amongst us Bronies. 
Thank you all. I'm glad you liked it.

) gathered from the energy of all people on earth. I have never played EarthBound before (it was the game you were refering to, right?). But anyway, the whole concept is very popular in many animes/mangas/games. 
Friendship is magic (and STRENGTH!), after all. 
It was (subconsciously) based on the eipc fight between Goku and Kid Buu, when the former used the Genki Dama (Spirit Bomb in English? Poetic...

Who knows, maybe the whole concept of SurprisedRainbowPie could be developed further. 
Yeah, I sorta couldn't resist adding a little shipping at the end... Besides, I left an opening for myself there.
546802
I hope it is!

Actually, I'm not a fan of Dragon Ball Z, i just like the story a LOT.
547731
I was wondering if anyone not being a fan of DBZ would have some kicks out of this story. I'm glad you did. 
That's a great thing to hear.
The story was great.... Up until celestia came back and started talking. Through the entire conversation, all I could think about was how easily everyone was taking it. It seemed as though celestia turning into the solar version of nightmare moon was no big deal while when nightmare moon was defeated, Luna at least cried and apologized. It seemed like celestia thought it wasn't a big deal through the way that she talked and that there wouldn't be any consequence regarding her actions.
But other then that the writing was good with few spelling errors. I always liked dragonball z and the inclusion of surprise is always a treat.
548455
Besides maybe they were just too shocked or frightened to question Celestia about it. Or got used to it after fighting Nightmare Moon (and knew that Scorching Sun was as much Celestia as Nightmare Moon was Luna). 
And, above all else, Celestia's still a princess. If you demanded her to cry in shame you would get sent to the moon. 
You could be right on that one. It kinda lacks consequences...
But we all know how forgiving those ponies can be.
Would you mind telling what kind of errors (pointing them out straight to my face would be great, but I wouldn't dream of forcing you to read through the whole thing again
)? I revised the story myself and am surprised you only found a few errors (and not much, much more 
). You see, I'm not a native English speaker, so I may commit some blunders and not even realize it.

It wasn't really the pony's reactions that didn't feel normal (they were worried about Pinkie and knew that Celestia had returned to normal after the blast so it made sense that they rushed to their friend instead of the princess). It was more Celestia's dialog that seemed awkward in comparison due to the fact that she rarely mentions herself at all, purely choosing to focus the conversation on Pinkie. She acts as though she was a completely different entity then Scorching Sun even though they share the same body. Maybe a line where she apologizes for not realizing the Elements would overtake her so soon (or whatever you want her to apologize for) would give Celestia a bit more character in this story. Of course these are just suggestions and I thumbed up your story regardless.
-“Listen to u, Twilight Sparkle." I assume you meant "Listen to me, Twilight Sparkle."
-"despite your speed in gathering other Element Bearers,". Since there's only 5 other ones it might in gathering the other Element Beareres".....then again I could be nit picking.
-"My sister have also succumbed to the dark side of the power of the Elements.” My sister is singular so it should be, "My sister has also..."
-"cannot keep a straight face even at a funeral." should be a comma after face.....again, nit-picking.
-" to beat Discord. But then there " instead of a period you can put a comma to join the two short sentences
Sorry I don't have enough time to edit any more. After skimming through the first bit, you may want to recheck where you place commas and periods. Although there aren't any major mistakes, it could also flow a lot better. Talk to your editors about it because they probably know best. I'm off to a three hour drive to who knows where
. Again, its a great story regardless and the few hindrances in flow are probably due to English not being your native language, so don't worry about it. 
549495
Maybe a reverse scene with Luna?
Thank you so much for taking your time to check it over again.
Your suggestion to add just a little apology for Celestia is quite a valid one, I'm afraid. Let me see what I can do about it.
A sample of how a talk with my editor looks like:
I hear there are suitable groups to look for the blessed souls here on FimFiction. 
Me (the editor): Bad Karach. You used the wrong tense again! Correct it, PRONTO! * Iron Will's voice *
Me (the writer): OK... *Fluttershy's squeal, runs to hide under the desk *
Yeah, I probably should look for the editor/proof-reader not being myself...
Yeah, those commas. I HATE YOU, COMMAS!

Wait. What does "handed" mean? Is that like hoofed, only for different creatures? Or maybe it's a term from Lyra's "human" stories. Whatevs.

Changed to a neutral 'pass'.
Oh my Celestia, you're so right.
I'm amazed at how vigilant and thorough some readers are. You're eyes are better than Rarity's.

Hell, yeah! Just for the record, here is its source: Shining Finger, so that nopony thinks I'm its author.
548455 I agree there needs to be more surprise fics
Well, InnovationST ( 549495 ) has been very right about the story needing at least a little explanation and apologies from Celestia. A small update has been made to fix it.
Besides this, countless spell and comma errors have been fixed (but I'm sure there are a lot more left
).
Just a small note for anypony who will maybe read the story in the future.

Thank you kindly.
THIS HAS SO MUCH WIN IN IT THAT I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO REACT TO IT!!!
748079
You current reaction seems plausible...
On a more serious note, though, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
and that's why pinkie is best pony
1063912
Exactly!

I'm glad you enjoyed it.
A curious thing, I remember asking for a review of this very story on ponychan's fic board. The reviewer actually said it was way too boring and should be much shorter. I, of course, appreciated his time in reviewing my humble story, but decided against a rewrite. dl.dropbox.com/u/31471793/FiMFiction/Pinkie_Pie_lolface.png I wouldn't have a heart.
But I try to remember his remarks when writing new stories, so his time wasn't entirely wasted; far from it! 
Anyway, that's why, my good sir, I'm pleasantly surprised that you found the story suspenseful.
You are like nicotine hard to get off of.
I don't smoke I'm too young and I think it's gross but you get it
1153100
It IS gross and it's a f*cking waste of money. 
You should be proud you don't smoke. I hope you never start.
1154073 I totally am
my grandfather smokes and it stinks and it chokes me and makes me feel bad (like sick like lung problems).
I give this 4/5 stars. You woulda gotten a full 5, but you lost half a point for calling wings "flight organs", and you used the term twice.
Really though, that was a fun little story.
1389137
I honestly don't know how to call those instead of simply wings. 
IT shall be corrected if you supply an alternative.
EDIT: Oh, and thanks.
1391183
man, just stick with wings! Diversifying your vocabulary is a great goal and all, and can certainly spice up a story, but when the effort to do so results in "flight organs", well...
if you really need a different term, then I suppose "flight appendages" would be a vast improvement.
1391276
Done, thanks. Actually it did bother me back then, when I wrote this short story, so thanks.
1394189
Glad to have been of service!
I just had to reread this story again, because it's still so much of legendary win!
If I only could draw , I would have made a pic of Surprise using Kamehameha against the Solar Flare! But well, with my current drawing skills, even the background would be a huge challenge.
1407585
Well, it's certainly a good thing to hear someone liked it so much to take the time to reread it.
In my wildest dreams I wouldn't have anticipated it.
Yeah, no worries, I can't draw either.
Although, if there was one thing I could hand-draw back at high school (out of during-class boredom 
) were the Kamehamehas. But the people/ponies performing them are an entirely different matter. 
1407616
I saw your story in my featured stories section and I thought ''Hey, that was a awesome story, let's read it again!'' .... And that's how I ended here!
Children: Ooohhhhh
Random comment ended!
*****
Well then, your more than a wild dream came true!
Yeah, drawing people and ponies is difficult and the background takes a lot of time too!
indubitably that was cheesy still good though
I demand another.....hell I demand a whole series
Eggman:and I demand butter..I love butter
Super sayian pinkie. Awesome. This story is officially Corset approved!
5569087
Thank you, though it would certainly stand a solid dose of editing (a complete rewrite probably). God, how old and rushed it is.
5570679 also your story is now in the group I founded Heroes and Antiheroes of Equestria.
5571639
Than I owe you one for considering it worthy of adding to your group.
So pinky is actually A astronomically powerful saean.....
That explains a lot,especially her eating habits and ability to break the fourth wall. She is also a major super badass.
