episode 3: Reunion! (Edited)

[Dragonlands, Ember's POV, Moments before the Z-fighters arrival.]


We followed the strange light back to Fire-canoe island. But the black skies almost made the task difficult. I don't believe I've ever seen the Dragonlands this dark before. Thankfully our aura's provided enough light for us. Flying has never been more comfortable since I gained access to my Ki energy. I stuck my arms and wings out while spinning in an aileron roll. However, I picked a feeling of amusement radiating from Spike. I looked ahead and saw him smirking at me.

"S-shut up. Not one word!"

"I won't say anything, but I am thinking about how cute you are while you're smiling~," I growled as a blush found its way on my snout, and I don't do blushing! However, I smirked when an idea popped into my head. I gripped the bloodstone specter in both hands and pointed at my mate's rear end. A soft glow emitted before a small bolt of lightning struck him. He let out an odd squeak that was very unbecoming for a Drake and clutched his glutes. With a satisfied smirk, I flew past him as he rubbed his backside. I can feel him frowning at me, but I merely ignore and continued. The island is the same as it ever was rough, perilous, and foreboding. With so many opening on it, it was hard to pinpoint where exactly the light impact.

"I think we should scout a little higher. The archway of the light struck near the top of the island. Let's use one of the entrances and above start our search there,"

"Good idea," Spike said. We flew near the top of the mountain and split up o cover more ground. I didn't notice anything unusual from my sector, so I went to find Spike. Typically, it is a challenge traversing through the inner workings of the cave system. But between our bond and the ability to sense Ki, I found Spike in the resting chamber of the Bloodstone specter. He was just standing holding something.

"Spike? What's wrong? Did you find anything?"

"Hmm? Yeah, I think I found the source of that light show," He turns to me with a bright orange orb in his claws. It had five red stars on, and it pulsed with a soft glow. I could feel a faint power dwelling within it.

"Spike... Where did you get this? It is unlike any treasure I've seen!" I slowly lifted my claw to touch it, but Spike drew it back to him.

"Easy, you'll scratch it," I huffed at his response.

"Don't be such a hatchling. I just wanted to see it,"

"Well, you've seen it. I don't know why, but this ball feels substantial. I better hold onto it," I rolled my eyes in annoyance. While Spike was different from most dragons here, he still fell prey to possessive tendencies.

"Fine! Keep your precious orb. But this just means there are more of these glowing spheres out there,"

"Hey, you're right. We should--" Spike trailed off as his body went stiff from a new sensation. Moments later, I felt the same thing. Multiple power levels were radiating from the land of the ponies. And one of them felt very familiar. "N-no way... IT'S HIM! IT'S GOKU! AH DRAKE! HE'S BACK!!!"

I could hardly believe it myself. "I-I suppose it is him. But he feels a little different,"

"Who cares about that! Let's get going! He's probably with the others right now!" Spike then grabbed my wrist and started pulling toward the entrance. He took to the skies with me along with as we made haste to see his old mentor. However, as we travel at high speeds, I heard a faint voice speak up.

"...Seek..."

My eyes widen, and I tried to look around to find the source of that sound. The black sky had cleared away, but there was no one near us for miles. "Spike, did you hear something?"

"Uh, no, why?"

"It's just that-- I thought I heard..."

"Heard what?"

"...It's nothing. And will you let go of my wrist!?" I snarled at him. He smiles sheepishly at me and let's go. We both ignited our auras and sped off into the distance. I just hope that Goku has the answers to these orbs.


[Ponyville, Castle Friendship, Third Person POV.]

*THUMP*


"Oof!" Goku grunted as he found himself hugged tackled to the ground by five eager fillies. "Hiya, girls,"

"Hey, Goku!" The girls exclaimed in unison. Each of them bearing board smiles as they nuzzled into Goku's torso.

"Hehe, I guess you're kind of famous, huh?" Krillin said as he chuckled at their antics.

"Famous? He's like a super mega hero here!" Sweetie Belle stated.

"Yeah, he fought dragons, changelings, an evil dark unicorn!" Diamond Tiara said.

"He saved us from a ghoul!" Silver Spoon said.

"He taught me martial arts and fought in the E.A.T Tournament!" Scootaloo stated with pride.

"Don't forget his fight with the Princess. It was incredible!" Applebloom said. As the fillies went on and on about Goku's adventures, Goku's friends were in a state of bewilderment.

"Why do I feel like we're missing a lot of contexts here?" Yamcha said.

"You always did have a way the younger crowd," Bulma said.

"I guess I left out some of the finer details of my time here," Goku said.

"Yes, it would seem you had the time of your life. Fighting everything from fearsome dragons and beautiful Princesses," Vegeta stated. However, his condescending tone was not missed by the royal sisters.

"We can catch up later. Right now--" Piccolo began to say until a lavender princess caught him off. The way she smiled at him gave the fierce Namekian warrior pause.

"Hello, I'm Twilight Sparkle, the Princess of Friendship, but enough about me. You're an alien. What planet do you hail from?" Twilight asked as she instantly brought out a quill and scroll.

"I-I'm a Namekian, but we need--"

"Oh, wow! So you're from Namek? Fascinating!"

"He does bear a resemblance to a terrestrial mollusk. Although. I suspect these antennae work differently," Starlight said as she added her scientific analyst.

"I'm not a slug! Now listen, we're wasting time--"

"You're right. There so many questions I want to ask you. Why are you here? Did Goku convince you to join him? What are your abilities, and would you demonstrate them for us?" Krillin, Tien, and Master Roshi couldn't help but laugh at Piccolo's predicament.

"I never thought I'd see the day when Piccolo is the center of attention," Master Roshi said.

"Yeah, it's baffling, alright," Krillin added.

"Eh, the green dude's cool and all, but he's nowhere near as awesome as me," Krillin turns around to find a prismatic mare staring into straight into his bald head. "How did you lose your mane and make your head so shiny. And what's with these dots?" Rainbow then proceeds to poke at Krillin's face, trying to wipe away the pots.

"H-hey!"

"Forget about that! Check out this guy's eyes? Can you see into the future? How does the third one affect your depth perception? I want a freaky third eye. Then I could watch the oven, the twins, and the counter at the same time. I bet even Ditzy is jealous of you," Pinkie rattled on and on as the words came out of her mouth at an alarming rate.

"Uh..." Was all Tien could say in response.


"Oh, you are just the cutest little thing, aren't you?" Fluttershy cooed as she and Rarity gushed over baby Trunks. The child made a gesturing motion while Fluttershy looks at Bulma. "Oh, um, may I hold him? I mean, if that alright with you?" She said meekly.

"Sure, just be gentle. This place is a first for Trunks as well," Bulma said as she handed baby Trunks to the timid pegasus. Baby Trunks gazed at Fluttershy with wonder while the pink-maned pegasus gently smiles down on him. She brought her muzzle down and nuzzled against his face. Baby Trunks made some cute baby sounds as he took his finger and pressed it against Fluttershy's snout. This action caused the shy mare to recoil slightly and wrinkle her muzzle back and forth, causing Baby Trunks to giggle.

"Oh, he is simply a delight and so cute too. I bet you'll be quite the handsome stallion when he grows up," Rarity cooed. Future Trunks stiffen up at the unintentional praise. Bulma noticed her son squirm uncomfortably and did what any parent would do; make it worse.

"You think so? I mean, I worry about it all the time," Bulma said in feign concern.

"Of course, darling. He has such prominent features. Once he grows up, I'm sure that he will have mare lining up to form a herd with him," Future Trunks began to turn a noticeable bright red.

"If I'm not mistaken, that means one male can have multiple partners?" This causes Future Trunks to groan.

"Mom..." He said in a strained voice. 'Past, Present, or Future. It doesn't matter what incarnation of my mother I interact with; she can still find ways to embarrass me!'

"Absolutely! I know I would love to be a candidate. Only if that's alright with you, of course."

Bulma turns to her older son with a coy grin. "Sure, you seem like a respectable young lady. I'd love to let you join the family when Trunks comes of age,"

"MOM!" Future Trunks shouted out, bringing him unwanted attention.

"Oh, before I forget, I shall make you a new wardrobe. You're the first female of your kind to visit, and I shan't have you gallivanting in those rags. Urgh!" Bulma looked aghast while Future Trunks basked in some payback.


Vegeta regarded the scene going on with his family with little interest. In fact, he found everything in this short girl's fantasy playset downright repulsive. This planet was not a place where a warrior such as himself would congregate. He began to have flashes about wearing that ridiculous pink shirt. Playing and laughing with these insipid creatures as the noble Saiyan Prince he once was slowly faded out of existence. Vegeta shook his head vigorously, crossed his arms, and turned away from it all with a scoff. Unbeknownst to him, however, Princess Luna saw the whole thing and approached him.

"Is there something troubling you?" She asked, but Vegeta didn't even spare her glance. "From your posture a few moments ago, I summarize that you are not keen on being here,"

"Well. It looks as though there is a being with some brains on this planet," Vegeta responded as he turns his head to Luna. He could tell from the crown and regalia that she was royalty. But he wasn't inclined to be formal or polite at the moment.

The Lunar alicorn felt a frown form on her muzzle. "Watch your tongue when speaking to a Princess, Whelp!!!" She spat. Before her, the man reminded her of all the pompous noble brats she had to deal with in Canterlot. The air of superiority was practically radiating off of him.

"And you should curb your insults when addressing a Prince, Equine!" Vegeta smirked as Luna's eyes went wide for a moment before it became frown and then morphs into a scowl. Vegeta was slightly taken aback at the Moon Goddess, raising power level. He could tell that she had a fair amount of strength. 'Perhaps these Equine can provide some entertainment,' He thought. The two shared no more words, opting to just engage in a staring contest, as the others were oblivious to their little spat.


Applejack noticed all her friends split and mingle with their new visitors. She wanted to catch up with her old employee. But the girls put those plans on hold for now. Instead, the southern mare decided to see if she can gain some new ones. The most abundant member of Goku's entourage instantly caught her attention. Although the apple farmer was sure, he caught everyone's attention, given his imposing stature. She walked up to him as he still was admiring the sparrow resting on his finger.

"Hey there, big fella, name's Applejack," She said as she held out her hand. Android 16, however, continued to admire the bird. "So, uh, you come around these parts often?" The silence was beginning to become awkward. 16 was so enamored with that bird that Applejack might as well not exist. "Well... I can see your busy with your friend, so Ima just try and catch up with Goku,"

"Wait. You have an acquaintance with Son Goku?"

Applejack smiled now that the guy was talking. "Boy howdy, he was the best darn worker Sweet Apple Acres ever had. He could remove a whole row of apples from trees in a blink of an eye,"

"What would the maximum number of produce Son Goku gathered in one setting?"

"While I never counted how much he got? Usually, I tell him I need about 20 trees worth of apples and--"

"I can clear far more than that, and I do not require breaks. My capabilities surpass that of a mere organic."

"Organic? Well, of course, our supplies are natural. It's homegrown with good old apple family TLC!" 16 said nothing and chose to stare silently at Applejack.

"You misinterpret my meaning. I am saying I can operate on a level ordinary beings cannot,"

"How the hay can ya do that?"

"Well, the fact that he's not alive per se certainly helps," Both Applejack and 16 looked around for the voice, but found that no one was near them. 16's eyes briefly flashed as he turned his attention back to the birds, twitting on his finger. He held a stern glare at them before he spoke.

"My scanners are picking up the usual energy wavelength from you. What are you?" He asked as the sparrow's eyes flashed red.

"Scanners? That's an odd thing to say. A better question would be, what are you!?" The 'sparrow' inquired as he flew up and exploded in a cloud of smoke. The smoke dissipated to reveal the mismatched form of Discord. "In all my years here in Equestria, I've never known anything to be completely devoid of magic. I mean sure I was thrown off by all this 'Ki energy' business. But I learned how to sense that as well-- Especially after getting blasted by it a few times --But you, my friend, have no magic, no Ki energy. Nothing as to suggest that you're among the living. So I ask again; what are you?"

"..." 16 said nothing.

"Now, Discord. Ya just can't go around saying that asking weird questions like that. Of course, the big guy's alive, how else would the fella be speaking with us."

"I am designation; Android 16. Dr. Gero created me using his vast technological expertise in a secret laboratory located in North City. Instead of flesh and blood, I have oil and machinery within me. I do not possess natural magic or Ki energy. Nor do I possess the same limitation of those like yourselves,"

Applejack and Discord had blinked at the explanation before Discord broke out in laughter. "Astounding! I thought golems were mere legend. Oh, I knew this group would be interesting. I'll have to introduce you to Fluttershy, seeing as you are an animal lover like her," He said as he pulled a notepad out of his fur. "I'll pencil you in for brunch this Sunday,"

"Does he usually act this way?" 16 asked.

"Partner, this is tame compared to the usual shenanigans," Applejack said.


Celestia saw the little interaction between her sister and the other Spiky-haired man. It was indeed strange to see that they share some characteristics. She was sure that her sister had just found a kindred spirit in him. The sun princess was looking forward to getting to know him and the rest of the group Goku brought. However, for now, she had her eyes set on the youngest member of their party.

"Excuse me, young one. I couldn't help but overhear you earlier. You called Goku your father so that would make you Son Gohan correct?"

Gohan turned around and gazed upon the Amazonian pony. However, to his credit, Gohan wasn't phased by her size. He smiled and went to reply. "Yes, that's right. It's nice to meet you, princess," He said as he clapped his hands together and bowed his head.

'Hmm, he's very polite and well mannered. He was also not intimidated by my size or status,' Celestia thought. "Now, now none of that. There is no need to bow young Gohan. Your father has done an excellent service to Equestria and is a friend to the crown. I am glad to see that his journey to Namek was a success,"

"Uh-hmm, my dad came in the nick of time and saved us all. He told me a little about this planet when we got back to Earth,"

"And what do you think of it so far?"

"It was hard to believe that a world of magic existed. But, other than that, it feels just like the Earth. When it's peaceful anyway,"

"It was certainly hard to grasp the concept of alien life for us," Celestia giggled as she recalled their first encounter with Goku. However, she became confused in the last part, Gohan said. "What do you by "When it's peaceful?" Is your world in danger of kind?"

Gohan nods as he took on a grim expression. "Yeah, there's a monster threatening the Earth and everyone on it. My father, the other's and I were preparing to face him, but something unexpected happened, and we had to come here,"

Celestia held back a gasp at this news. 'What danger could threaten their entire world? And what could be so important that they had to come here?' Celestia thought. "I can tell this is imperative. Please hold off on your explanation until I have everypony present," Gohan chuckled at the use of Everypony rather than Everybody. Celestia was happy to see him smile. "But there is one thing I would like to know. Why is Goku's hair is blond and his eyes a different color? To be honest, I didn't think his hair could get spikier,"

"Oh, that's because we're Super Saiyans right now,"

Celestia arched a brow in bewilderment. "Super Saiyans?"

"Yeah, it's--"

"Whoa, hey guys! Two large power levels are heading this way!" Yamcha said, cutting Gohan off.


The Z-fighters instantly went on guard as the two power levels drew closer to their position. "Whoa, what the heck am I sensing here?" Krillin said.

"I don't know, but it could be trouble!" Master stated.

Goku looked up at the Ki signatures' direction while the fillies all hung off of him. "Hey, I know those two. Wow, they've gotten pretty powerful, huh?"

"Would you care to enlighten us? Or perhaps this just another ploy by Queen Chitin!" Vegeta said. The Equestrians looked at the Saiyan Prince in confusion.

"Queen, who?" Silver Spoon asked.

"I don't know who that is, but this power belongs to Spike and Ember," Scootaloo said.

"Ember's coming here!? Why didn't Spike write ahead?" Twilight exclaimed.

"Relax, young Twilight. I am sure that Spike is eager to see his mentor again as the rest of us," Luna stated.

"Dad, didn't you take on a pair of students?" Gohan asked.

"Yep. Scootaloo's one of them," He said as Scootaloo beamed with pride. "And Spike's the other. He's a dragon,"

"Haha, seem like only yesterday I was teaching you martial arts. They grow up so fast," Master Roshi said thoughtfully.

"Everyone needs to focus so we can get on--" Piccolo went to say before he was cut off.

"GOKU!!!" A familiar voice called out. Spike and Ember landed in front of the group as a huge gust of wind followed after their touchdown. Spike ran up to his mentor and friend, with Ember casually strolling up after him. Spike runs up and embraces Goku in a tight hug while the Saiyan warrior chuckles. "It's great to see you again. Things just haven't been the same since you left,"

"It's good to see you to Spike. I see you've been training hard, huh?"

"You know it," He said as he felt a yank on his tail. Spike yells as Ember pulls him back. She walks in front of Goku and gives him a swift nod.

"It's a pleasure to see Goku..." She paused as she notices Goku's companions. "...And friends,"

"Whoa, check her out. Hey there baby, the name's Yamcha, and you are?" He said as he offered his hand to her.

Ember scoffs at him at his gesture and grips his hand so tight that cracks echoed out. "I am Dragonlord Ember, ruler of all Dragons and promised to the 4-time E.A.T champion, Spike Solaris-Sparkle. I'd say I'm far out of your league,"

Everyone's mouths fell agape as Yamcha whimpered off to the sidelines. "Gonna need a Senzu for that one," Pinkie chirped.

"Hold on! You're the 4-time E.A.T champion?" Goku asked as Spike nodded. "Man, I missed a lot! And I bet the same goes for Scootaloo?"

"Technically, I'm undefeated for three years since I didn't compete this year. It was getting boring fighting weak opponents," Scootaloo stated.

Goku was about to say something until Piccolo beat him to the punch. "I'm happy for your students' accomplishments, Goku, but right now, we can't afford any more distractions. We came here with a mission to compete in case you've forgotten!" Piccolo said in an aggravated tone.

"That's right! We need to find Chrysalis and Dende and return the Dragonballs to Earth," Trunks reminded.

"CHRYSALIS!?!?" The ponies shouted out.

Ember flared her wings aggressively as she glared at Goku and his friends. "WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?!? YOU INTEND TO MUTILATE MY KIND!?!?!" Her voice was nearly on par with the RCV(Royal Canterlot Voice), and her Ki began to raise. Before Spike could calm his mate down, Vegeta stepped forward.

"Our mission is none of your concern, but if it's a fight you want..." He said as he flared his aura. "I'll be happy to oblige," Ember narrows her eyes dangerously at the Saiyan prince who smirks in response. The bystanders gave the two warriors space while the Z-fighters and the others were unsure of what to do. Thankfully, two barriers appeared over the fighters. Everyone turned around to find Prince Shining Armor and Princess Cadence with their filly Princess Flurry Heart. Their horns glowed as they separated the two.

"I think it would best to explain in greater detail about your mission," Shining Armor said sternly.

"Hmph!" Vegeta scoffs, not even facing the new arrivals.

"What do you mean by Chrysalis? I thought Auntie Celestia defeated her in battle," Cadence said as Flurry Heart flew over to Baby Trunks. The two stared at each other before the princess of love let out a deafening squeal. She rushed over and gently took Baby Trunks from Fluttershy. "And who is this bundle of joy!? I've never seen a baby, Saiyan!"

"I was getting to that, but perhaps it would be better if we spoke privately," Piccolo suggested while still recovering from Cadence's assault on his eardrums.

"That would be for the best. Come on, everypony; we can talk in the Cutie Map room," Twilight said as the ponies lead the Z-fighter's into the castle.

"Cutie Map room?" Krillin whispered.

"At this point, I am not questioning it," Master Roshi said.


[The Badlands, Changelings Hive Fortress, Chrysalis POV.]


"Aw, exactly as I left it," I said as I marveled at my fortress. I am currently in disguise as a blond mane, white pegasus under the alias as Surprise. She was an over-enthusiastic, hyperactive mare that I had the displeasure of capturing some years ago. To this day, I will never figure out how she escapes. But the reason for my disguise is that I sensed Goku and the other's Ki not too long ago. Truthfully, I was counting on them remaining on Earth or for Cell to finish them. I never thought they would abandon their cause. Now they'll be after me for sure. The best option for me now is to re-establish my link to the hive mind. As long as I hold this Dragonball the I hold the advantage.

"Come along on Dende, and I'll show you to your sleeping quarters. Then I want a full explanation on what happens to the Dragonballs,"

"Yes, my queen..." He droned out. He awoke on my journey here, and he has just been a great conversationalist. Once we entered the fortress, I dropped my disguise. The structure within was imbued with changeling magic so that they won't be sensing here. However, as we walked the ever-changing corridors, I noticed that I have not come across any of my drones. There were no patrols, scouting parties, or even hatchlings wandering the halls. I knew that without the Hivemind would be in disarray. But I didn't think we would be this disorganized. Could there be dissenters in my ranks?

No! I made sure that none would challenge my authority. We walked for what felt like hours until we came across a massive auditorium. I never had this room commissioned. This news meant that someone tampered with the fortress. I felt my rage boiling over at the thought of those ponies or anyone else desecrating my hive. That's when I heard the distinctive buzzing of many drones coming our way. But something was off. I could feel the link, but I could not access it. I chose to hide in the background as my changelings flooded the room. Imagine my shock when I saw the state of my drones.

My changelings had undergone some metamorphosis. Gone was the slick black chitin and in their place was a light blue and green shell. The moth-like wings were no more and in their stead was something akin to dragonfly's wings. As well as one acting as their tails. The original horns were now a pair two antlers that sat on the side of their heads. I could sense an overwhelming presence of love magic within them. These weren't my changeling any longer, but could they have prospered so much without my guidance? My answer came when a large changeling male appeared in front of the crowd. I felt myself regurgitating at his appearance.



Just when I thought it couldn't get any worse, this fool began to speak. The male's voice was smooth and loathsome. "My fellow changelings. All is not well within the Badlands. Princess Celestia has informed me that a strange occurrence took place a few hours ago. As you have no doubt seen, the skies became black, and a pillar of light shot off in multiple directions. There was also a high presence of magic within the area,"

"My king," King!?!? "What does this mean for us?"

"Worry not my little changeling," Did he seriously just uttered that phrase!? "I sensed no malicious intent behind this power. However, I ask you all to remain vigilant in these unknown times. But should this new development prove a threat, rest assured, that I, as well as our comrades, will stand tall and combat this menace!"

"All hail King Thorax!"

Thorax!?! He has claimed my throne!?!? That worthless fledgling that barely made pass basic training has taken what belongs to me and perverted it! No! NO! I will not allow this to stand! Brazenly, I step out of the shadows and lit up my horn. I charged a beam spell in my palm and launched it into the wall next to the so-called king. The blast exploded on impact, and everyone present screamed in terror, much to my delight. Thorax was the first to recover, and his eyes fell on me. I could feel the fear rising him as he uttered my name.

"C-Chrysalis!? But you were destroyed!"

"Rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated, usurper!"

Author's Note:

It's safe to say that the Z-fighter's made a great first impression. Now comes the audacious task of explaining what their purpose is for returning to Planet Equis. Meanwhile, Chrysalis has discovered some changes in her long absence and planned to rectify them immediately. Will King Thorax be able to withstand the wrath of the former Changeling Queen?
