> The Night's Saiyan > by MBronyM > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Prologue > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Saiyan Tutoro flew as fast as he could, carrying his baby Saiyan son in his arms. He had black spiked up hair, and mustard yellow clothing. He had a scar over his left eye. He flew away from Frieza soldiers who were trying to stop him. "Get back here you lowly Saiyan!" One of them shouted. Tutoro spun around and shot a blast at them, hitting one out of the sky. He looked up at the sky and his eyes widened in shock. What he saw was a giant burning ball of death, growing in size. He sped up, and found the space pod docks, landing by an empty one and placed his son inside, putting a note in his lap, which stated his name, his race, and for anyone who found him to care for him. Tutoro wiped a tiny tear from his eye, looking at the tear, as he has never cried before. He placed a hand on his sleeping son's head, rubbing his hair lightly. "Goodbye Kale...your father loves you..." He said, pushing a button which closed the pod. He pushed the launch button on the control panel, which counted down from 10. 10... The Frieza soldiers caught up with Tutoro, each one charging their blasters as the aimed at him. 9... Tutoro charged up his ki, then pointed his hands forward and shot out rapid blasts at them, knocking them one by one out of the sky. 8... Finally taking them down, he panted heavily. He had gotten injured when trying to get here. He sat down and laid against a rock a rock, looking up at the sky. 7... He looked at the large death ball, assuming it was Frieza's. He grunted, holding his side which was bleeding some. He took off the scouter that was on his right eye, dropping it on the ground beside him. 6... He saw the ball get launched towards Vegeta, he didn't even have the energy to attempt to fight back, but he knew it would be pointless anyways. 5... He looked at the pod as it was preparing for launch. It was probably for the better anyways. He would've grown up weaker and under the rule of a king who wanted nothing to do with his lower subjects. 4... He hoped that wherever that pod was destined to go, wherever he landed, that it would be better than here. 3... The attack has entered the atmosphere, he could feel the energy from the attack biting at his skin, which caused him to shudder some. 2... The attack touched the planet's ground, a large wave of dust ran over Tutoro, causing him to cough and wheeze. 1... The planet cracked and started to erupt beneath him. He fell down between a large crack and he saw barley out of his good eye the pod hovering up, about to launch. 0 "Goodbye...my son..." He muttered. And as the pod launched off into space, the planet exploded into many pieces. Inside the pod, the Saiyan child slept through the explosion, his tail wrapped around him as he flew deeper into space, for he had a long life ahead of him. ~~~ Luna sighed softly, looking up at the starry sky. Nopony appreciated her night, they all just....slept. If only they stayed awake, they could see the beauty of her night, and not just the day. She sometimes kept the moon up longer than it should, just to enjoy her night longer. But tonight she noticed something strange. A star, falling from the sky. This would've been normal/a rare occurrence, but it wasn't shining bright. In fact, it seemed to be heading right for them! She saw the 'star' crash right outside the Everfree Forest. She looked around, checking if anyone around. She flew off into the night, flying off to check out this 'star.' Making it to the crash site, she looked at the decently wide crater. She looked at it's center. "What in Equestria...?" She flew down into the crater to inspect the strange object she found. It was a big metal ball, but where did this thing come from? She must have pressed something, because feeling around it, the front of the orb opened up. Inside was dark, but she was used to the dark, so she could see fine. She looked down and saw a small creature. It was naked, and had a big path of hair on it's head. It's hair was all spiky, and it looked like a monkey! The reason that made her think it was a monkey was because of it's monkey tail. She picked up the small creature, holding it in her arms. She decided to 'check' it if was a boy or a girl. . . . Boy. She took notice of the letter in it's lap, she read it thoroughly and looked at the child. "Kale...Kale the Saiyan..." She mumbled to herself. She had to admit, he was a cute little creature, sleeping in her arms and sucking on his thumb. Though according to the letter, they were a warrior race, this made her a little worried. "Tia won't like that..." She looked at the sleeping saiyan in her arms and sighed. "I suppose I could take thou home....I'll have to keep thou secret though." She mumbled to herself. She carried the Saiyan child into the night, soaring through the air. She landed on the balcony of the stone castle, walking inside and looking around. She stepped into her room, which was decorated in dark blue/purple and light blue. She sat down on her bed and placed Kale next to her, putting the blanket over him and making sure he was snug. "This may not be the best way...but I don't have anywhere else to put you yet." She said. She noticed that he started to have a nightmare. She frowned and touched his head with her horn. Her horn glowed a bit, then stopped. She had gotten rid of the nightmare, and replaced it with a nice dream. This made the saiyan smile. Luna got in bed next to the baby and relaxed. "This is gonna be tough to hide from Tia..." She looked at the saiyan, who slept in an adorable fashion and sucked his thumb. "Don't worry young Kale, I won't let Tia hurt thou..." > Chapter 1: 9 Years Later > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Celestia and Luna ate breakfast at the long dining table, sitting and eating quietly. While eating, they could hear a lot of banging upstairs. Celestia frowned. "I thought we had gotten rid of that...what did you call it sister? A...'TimberRat?'" Luna smiled nervously, and nodded. "Y-Yes Tia, it was very big and was made of wood, like a Timberwolves'." She said. She got up slowly, backing up in a nervous manner. "I will take care of it, t-thou can continue breakfast dear sister." With that, she ran down the hall and up the steps. She opened the door to her room to see Kale floating around the room. The note explained literally EVERYTHING about saiyans, including the fact that they could fly and how. Ever since she taught him he hasn't stopped flying! Luna sighed and flapped her wings, floating into the air with him. She pulled the 9 year old down and placed him on the bed. "Kale, we have talked about this. Thou aren't allowed to fly while I am gone." She said in a firm tone. Kale smiled in a slightly goofy fashion. "Sorry Ma, it's just so boring sitting in this room all day!" "Thou is right...it would be boring wouldn't it..." She thought to herself for a moment then smiled. "Well...I think it's about time thou has started to train." Hearing this, Kale got excited. His saiyan blood boiled for combat. He hopped to his feet and bounced on the bed. "Really?! We can train?!" She covered his mouth quickly, the checked out the door if anyone was around. "Yes, we can train. But not here. Follow me young Kale" She said. She walked to the door to the balcony and flew off into the woods, Kale followed close behind. Finally, they made it to an opening in the woods. Luna could see the excitement in Kale's eyes, which caused her to smile. Luna did have a feel for battle, sometimes she enjoyed it as well. She took pride in her strength. Kale was practically hopping from excitement. "Alright Kale, show me what thou knows." Kale nodded, and the training begun. Kale flew at Luna, at a speed that surprised her. He threw his fist at her, only for Luna do barely dodge it. 'Has he been practicing his flying at night?' She thought to herself. When she dodged, Kale slammed his foot into the ground, then hopped in her direction. He threw punch after punch, only to be dodged or blocked by Luna. She thought that he was pretty good for no training, but WITH training, he could be great. Luna caught one of his punched, then punched him right back, sending him flying into a tree. As he flew back, he regained composure. He did a few flips as he flew back and his feet hit the tree. He bounced off and flew right at Luna. Seeing this, Luna flew up to dodge. Kale turned his back to the ground and pointed his hand at Luna. His hand glowed a bright blue then he shot a ki blast at Luna, who managed to block it at the last second. "So that's ki..." She mumbled to herself. Luna flew back to the ground, smiling. "That's enough for today Kale. We'll do this once everyday, and you'll get stronger and stronger." Kale smiled and gave Luna a hug, who hugged him right back. "Thanks ma..." ~~~ Several Weeks Later... Kale slept in bed, right next to where Luna would sleep. Luna, however, was out, watching over the night. But tonight was different. Tonight...was the night Luna would fight back against Celestia. Kale slowly started to be able to sense ki. He could feel it, the differences between males and females, animals and ponies, even himself. He woke up, jolting up in bed as he heard several crashes and the sounds of shouting outside. He looked out, it was still night. What was going on? He jumped out of the bed, and looked at the door that led to the hall. Luna said that he wasn't allowed to leave the room but...something was off tonight. He opened the door, and noticed that the whole castle seemed to be shaking. He ran down the hall, he could feel Luna's energy. She used magic, but everything had energy. Her energy was...off. Something about it felt...not nice. Not her usual self. She was fighting someone, presumably this 'Tia' that he's heard so much about. He eventually made it to the throne room, he saw a hole in the ceiling. There he saw her. Luna, but she was completely different. Her once blue fur had turned black, her eyes formed slits and her teeth sharpened. She was taller and a bit thinner than usual. He also saw Celestia, but they were fighting. He flew through the hole in the ceiling to get a better view. Some sort of stones spun rapidly all around Celestia, they appeared to be charging an attack! Celestia shot a beam at Luna, and Luna shot right back. Kale had to stop this, he flew up as fast as he could. "S-Stop it!!!" He shouted. Nightmare took notice of Kale, eyes widening, but he caused her to lose her focus. "K-Kal--" Before she could finish, Celestia's beam overpowered her, sending her to the moon. The silhouette of a unicorn appeared in the moon. Kale's eyes widened, tears formed and started to run down his cheeks. Celestia was far to distracted to notice Kale, tears ran down her cheeks as well. Kyle felt a burst of energy rush through his body. He panted some, his body started to get bigger, and hairier. Celestia now took notice, and her eyes widened in shock. Kale had turned into a Great Ape, since he still had his tail. Great Ape Kale looked down at Celestia, anger took over his mind, thinking repeatedly that it was her fault. He opened his mouth, a beam charged in it. Celestia shot another beam out, using the little energy she had left. Her attack shot before Kale's since she was already charged up. The power was just enough to turn him normal. He laid there on the ground, his tail still intact. Celestia floated down, wondering what kind of creature he was. But she knew that he was too dangerous to have around. Her horn glowed and she pointed it at Kale, and the element's of harmony glowed as well. Kale's body turned a golden color, as it faded, Kale faded as well. There were now 6 small balls of light, each one went inside of an element. She panted, coughing and she fell to her knees, having used too much strength sealing Luna, turning Kale normal and sealing him away. ~~~ Many Years Later... Celestia looked in the old castle, walking through once more. She was making a new castle, with a city named 'Canterlot.' It would be the capital of all of Equestria. She walked into Luna's old room, her face became full of sadness. While going through her old things she noticed something odd. A letter, but it didn't look like any pony's handwriting she knew. She picked it up and carefully read through it, her eyes widening. "Kale...the saiyan..? That must've been..." She was now piecing it together. Why she saw so little of Luna for a while, the banging sounds, the nervous acting. She was taking care of that creature! Well, there was nothing she could do now, they were sealed away...for a thousand years...or more... > Chapter 2: Kale's Return > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kale looked down at his body, patted his body and feeling his face to check if he was actually there. Yes! He was back! "Woohoo! I'm back!" He shouted, not caring about who or what heard him. He looked around, but tilted his head. He was in some sort of open cave. He turned around to see a giant crystal tree! It had symbols of the sun, moon, and stars on it. He thought about staying to look at the tree but he had no time for that! He had to find out where he was! The saiyan flew into the sky, seeing that he was still in the forest were he grew up. He looked around until he saw a big castle on the side of the mountains. He's never seen that before. Then again, he's barley ever been out of his room. Luna usually snuck him food every--- Luna! He had to find Luna! Maybe she's back like he is! But that would mean he'd have to find her energy. He closed his eyes calmly and focuses deeply. After around 5 minutes of focusing (he's still a kid with little training) he found Luna's energy. She was in the castle! He flew right towards the castle at that moment. He had to see Luna! Nothing was gonna stop him! ~~~ Twilight sighed as she sat down on the picnic blanket, taking out a sandwich and taking a small bite out of it. Rainbow Dash laid down in the grass, wearing her shades that seemed almost too big. Fluttershy smelled the flowers while trying to pick out good ones for Rarity, who was trying to make a flower themed dress. Speaking of Rarity, she placed a fancy purple cusion on the blanket and sat on the cusion. AppleJack gave her a look. "What? You don't expect me to sit on the grass do you?" She asked. AppleJack groaned a bit at her. "I would at least think that ya'll would sit on that there blanket!" Before Rarity could speak, Pinkie Pie, who appeared out from underneath AppleJack's hat shouted. "Hey! Look at that thing!" Pinkie pointed to something flying towards Canterlot. Whatever it was, it was fast...real fast. Rainbow Dash shrugged it off casually. "Probably just a pegasus flying around, nothing to be concerned about." Twilight squinted her eyes, trying to get a good look. "I don't know...I don't see wings flapping...actually, it doesn't even have wings!" This got Rainbow Dash's attention. She took off her shades and flew up in the air. "Don't worry! I'll check it out!" She said as she zoomed over to whatever or whoever was flying. ~~~ Kale was getting close, but then he could feel something approaching him at a rapid speed. He halted to a stop and looked in it's direction, and saw what looked like a rainbow with wings flying at him. The rainbow pegasus stopped in front of Kale, and tilted her head. Rainbow had no clue what Kale was, or how he could fly, but she wasn't gonna let some....thing harm the princesses! "Hey! Who are you? And actually, what are you?" She asked, and Kale answered. "Um...my name's Kale!" He said, going from a confused look to a goofy smile. "Well, Kale, my name is Rainbow Dash! Fastest flier in Equestri---" She immediately stopped talking when she noticed Kale wasn't there. She looked to her right and saw that Kale continued to fly to Canterlot. She flew over and blocked his path again. "You can't go to Canterlot! You're coming with me!" She said. She had to get him to Twilight. Rainbow Dash wasn't gonna let some weird flying hairless monkey go around doing what he wants. Kale frowned a bit hearing this. "No, I'm going there." He said, pointing to Canterlot. "Please move out of the way." Rainbow Dash frowned and crossed her arms, refusing to move. "Look, we can do this the easy way, or the hard way!" Kale didn't have time for this! He charged by Rainbow Dash, causing her to stumble since she wasn't expecting it. She glared and shouted. "You wanna do this the hard way? We'll do this the hard way!" She flew at Kale, and attempted to grab the collar of his shirt. But Kale disappeared before she could grab it. Kale reappeared next to her and punched her in the face, causing Rainbow Dash to fly back and rub her cheek. "Lucky shot!" She said. She once again rushed at Kale, now throwing a punch, which was blocked by Kale. They continued to fight. Rainbow threw blow after blow, which was either dodged or countered. Kale was now trying not to hit her again. He didn't wanna be in trouble by the time he got home. "Rainbow Dash!" Shouted Twilight. Rainbow halted to a stop and looked at Twilight, looking both confused and irritated. "What in Equestria do you think you're doing?!" "I'm sending this thing back to wherever it came from!" She said angrily. Twilight sighed and shook her head, knowing fully well he just did something to make her mad. Now looking at the being in front of Rainbow, she could recognize him somewhat. He looked just like those creatures from Canterlot High. She read about them in books in the high school, humans they were called. The only odd thing odd about him was that he had a monkey tail. "Rainbow Dash, ya'll went to go get him! Not hurt the fella!" Yelled AppleJack. Fluttershy noticed something and tried to speak up. "Um...girls?" "I tried to get him! But he kept ignoring me like he was better than me or something!" RD said, looking frustrated as she flapped down some. "G-Girls..?" "Well maybe ya'll shouldn't have been rude to him and asked him nicely!" AppleJack yelled, making sure to yell so that she could hear her, though to Rainbow Dash it sounded like AJ was mad at her. "What do y--" "Girls!" Fluttershy yelled, slightly startling everyone else. "Something wrong Fluttershy?" Twilight asked. Fluttershy responded by pointing to Kale, who was currently flying towards Canterlot castle. ~~~ Celestia stood on her throne, smiling as she felt the soft breeze on her face. She loved the gorgeous view. The grassy fields, to Ponyville, and Cloudsdale floating in the air. This was her and Luna's land, and she loved every part of it. She noticed something soaring through the air however, something heading right for Canterlot. She squinted her eyes, trying to get a closer look at whatever it was. It could've been a pegasus, but she couldn't see wings. But she could've sworn she see long spiky hair and a thin furry tail. "No...it couldn't be..." > Chapter 3: Welcome Back Kale! > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Celestia smiled, seeing the being get closer, now able to see what it is. "It is him! The spell must've worn off!" She said. She looked at him a bit nervously though, she wasn't sure if he was dangerous to her citizens or not. She'd have to keep a close eye on him. Celestia noticed Kale heading into the city of Canterlot, rather than the castle. She rushed inside and noticed a pair of guards on their daily guard duties. She called them over, and they stood at attention before her. "I need you two to look for some pony in Canterlot." She said. The two soldiers would only nod before Celestia continued. "The only thing is...he's not a pony. He has a patch of spiky hair on his head and he has a monkeys tail." To this, their heads tilted to the side in a confused manner. She sighed and said. "You'll know him when you see him, just make sure nopony harms him, alright? Just bring him here safely." The guards saluted then ran out, to go on a search for the one that Celestia was talking about. She stepped to and looked out one of the many windows in the castle. 'He's back...I hope he's not upset over what I did.' She thought to herself. ~~~ Kale landed in the town, but made sure that he was behind the buildings. He didn't wanna cause trouble, he stayed hidden like Luna would've wanted him to. He ran down the street, staying in the shadows, making sure he was heading towards the large building with the many spires. He finally made it to the area. he climbed over the wall and floated across the moat quickly. He looked around and noticed an open window way above. He looked around nervously then started to float up quietly to the window, humming a tune to himself that just seemed to fit the mood. Finally making it to the window, he climbed through and got low, looking around to check if anyone was around. All clear. He hopped in and ran down the hall, stopping suddenly when he arrived at the corner. He cautiously looked around, then ran down the hall, stopping in front of a large door with a moon symbol on it. He reached out and pushed the door open some, peeking his head in. He saw...well, he couldn't really SEE anything. The room was too dark for him to see. Kale stepped out of the room and continued down the hall. No one was inside anyways. He continued to walk down until he made it to a small doorway and a large room, presumably the throne room. Luna wasn't in here either. He looked around the throne room, nothing out of the ordinary around here. "Halt creature!" A voice behind him shouted. Kale froze up, he didn't move an inch. He could hear footsteps approach him from behind. When they appeared to be right behind him, he went into a full sprint, running down a corridor. "After it!" Said the same voice. What was once one pair of footsteps seemed to turn into several. Kale didn't bother to turn around to see who was chasing him. He just wanted to get as far away from them as possible. Though he wasn't looking were he was going and he bumped into something. It felt hard and cold, made of some sort of metal. Kale looked up and saw the face of a glaring solar guard, holding his spear in his tight grip. He started to move to point the spear at Kale, and seeing this, Kale jumped up and kicked him in the side of the head, sending him into the wall. Seeing what he had done, Kale panicked a small bit and stuttered to the unconscious guard. "Wah! I-I'm sorry sir!" He turned his head and saw the guards running at him, which sent him running as well. ~~~ Luna sipped on some tea in the courtyard, along with Princess Cadance. "I wonder what's taking Tia so long? She said she'd only be gone a minute." Luna said, feeling a tad bit concerned about her elder sister. "I'm sure she's fine. Although, Twilight was supposed to be here around 10 minutes ago, and she's not one to be tardy." Cadence said, now she was looking a bit concerned as well. Luna's ear twitched as she heard some ruckus going on in the castle. She turned her head toward the exit of the courtyard, and Cadence did the same. Somepony appeared to be yelling, as if he were being chased by something. Suddenly, the door busted open and before Luna or Cadence could react, something crashed into the table, the sheet covering it fell ontop of it. A pair of solar guards were close behind. Seeing Princesses Luna and Cadence, they bowed respectively. "Apologies your highnesses, the creature did not harm you did it?" One of the two asked. Luna tilted her head a bit. "Creature, what art thou talking about?" She asked. Cadence nudged Luna some and pointed to the sheet, with something underneath. The covered creature sat up and took the sheet off of it's head. Luna's eyes would widen seeing who sat before her. The black spiky hair, the tannish skin, the monkey tail. "K-Kale?!" Luna stood there, frozen from shock. She had no idea how Kale was still alive, and to be frank, she didn't care. "Ma?" Kale slowly got to his feet, though it didn't make much a difference since he was very short. Kale ran to Luna, and Luna ran to Kale. Kale jumped up and hugged Luna tight, wrapping his arms around her neck. Everypony else stood there, watching the two hug. Celestia couldn't help but smile at the two. The others, however, were confused. Luna continued hugging Kale, until she noticed everypony staring. She coughed a small bit before putting Kale down. "So...I guess I should explain." "An explanation would be nice." Cadence said, though she didn't take her eyes off of the strange being. Kale looked up at Luna and smiled, hoping that from here on out, everything will be fine. ~~~ A ship slowly flew through space. Inside sat a familiar looking alien being, he sighed a bit until a soldier spoke up. "My lord! Our scanners have picked up a small signal coming from an old saiyan pod!" He said. This caught his attention. He sat up some. "A saiyan hm? I thought those beings went extinct 1000 years ago..." He mumbled to himself. he rubbed his chin thoughtfully. "Well...I won't make the same mistake my foolish ancestor Frieza made. Set a course for the planet it laded on." The soldier nodded and went back to his navigational systems. "Yes my lord, plotting a course for planet Equis." The soldier said. The being sat there, curious of how a saiyan could still be alive. "How long will it take to get there?" He asked. "Hm...about...25 days my lord. We could barley pick it up from across the galaxy." He said. The alien lord growled some from hearing that. The soldier made an 'eep!' and continued to plot their course. The ship then shot out towards the planet Equis. > Chapter 4: Nemisis Revealed > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The alien walked through his ship, deep in thought about this saiyan pod. This alien's name was Brizzk, Lord Brizzk as his soldiers call him. He was a descendant of the Frieza Race. He figured his ancestor, Frieza, was some kind of idiot since he couldn't even think of a name for the race he ruled. It didn't bother him though. He didn't care for Frieza, he was a fool if anything. Taken down by this 'super saiyan.' According to his soldiers, the saiyan pod on Planet Equis is around 1000 years old, and possibly older. Even if the saiyan that landed there was dead, he at least wanted to check to make sure. He wasn't gonna give any existing saiyan a chance. Yeah, the thought of the super saiyan terrified him. And he hated to admit it. But he can't be afraid of what doesn't exist. Or at least what won't exist. Brizzk normally stayed in his 1st form. He was more stable in this form. He could control his power a bit easier a. He had white bio-armor and the 'shiny parts' on his body were a forest green. He stepped into the command room of the ship and sat down, looking out into the vastness of space as stars flew by them like fireflies in the wind. "Ipula, what can you tell me about Planet Equis?" Ipula, Brizzk's head navigator, walked up to him and bowed before answering. "Well, my lord, it's a planet populated by a variety of intelligent species. The strangest part of the planet is that the planet doesn't seem to move, but the sun and the moon move themselves. Like clockwork." He said. Brizzk thought to himself. The sun and moon moved and the planet didn't? It sounds like such a strange little planet. But it could be interesting. He'd find out more about it when they get there. His yellow eyes stared out into the deep darkness of space. He was very curious about the planet. He couldn't help but think about it. He folded his arms across his chest, his eyes never left the window ahead. "If I find any trace of saiyan blood..." He began. He unfolded his arms and clenched his fists tight. The energy he was messing with the navigation systems. "I'll destroy it, along with the entire planet." ~~~ Kale sat on Luna's throne in the throne room. Celestia was going to say something about it, but Luna was ok with it. Luna explained everything. Celestia knew more than Candence did, but she still wanted to know exactly how Luna found Kale. "S-So he's a..." Cadence started, looking at Kale. Luna nodded a bit, looking a bit nervous. "Yes. Kale not of this world. He is an alien." Celestia looked at Kale. He didn't look like he wanted to harm anypony, though there was still that concern about his transformation. Kale looked around at the many guards. They all had their eyes on him, it kinda freaked him out. Though it was understandable. A 1000 year old alien suddenly shows up and is now sitting on the princess' throne. Who wouldn't be suspicious? "Sister, I know you care for Kale, but I am concerned about his strength..." Luna turned to Celestia with a confused look, but she thinks she knew were she was going with it. "What about his strength?" Celestia let out a small sigh. "His strength is incredible. I fear for the safety of our subjects if he were to...go out of control." She said. Luna looked somewhat insulted by what she said. "Why does thou think that Kale would go 'out of control'? I can promise you that Kale would never hurt anypony! He is a kind soul Tia." "I don't know..." Celestia mumbled as she turned her head away from her sister. Cadence looked to Kale. He looked so young, and he didn't look evil in the slightest. "Celestia." Cadence stepped in. "I think we should at least give Kale a chance before deciding to do anything rash." Luna gave her a thankful look before turning to Celestia once more. Celestia looked at her sister once more. She nodded her head. "Alright. Young Kale is welcome to stay here in Equestria." Luna smiled and turned to Kale. Kale couldn't hear their conversation, but seeing Luna smile brought a smile to his own face. "I shall give Kale a personal guard. He is still very young, so he needs somepony to look over him." Celestia said. Luna's smile slowly turned into a look of confusion when she heard that. "Why does Kale need a personal guard? Couldn't I look over him?" She asked. Celestia shook her head some. "No Luna. You have many royal duties and you'd barley ever see Kale as it is. It's best that he has someone to look over him." Celestia gave her a smile, trying to convince her that it was better. Luna nodded with a sigh, understanding why and accepting it. Celestia got one of the royal guards and brought her over to Kale. Kale immediately got up, since he didn't wanna get in trouble for sitting on the throne. Celestia smiled at Kale, trying to make him feel comfortable. "Kale, I'd like you to meet Crested Shield. She'll be your personal guard while you stay." The guard known as Crested Shield had white fur and a neon turquoise mane and tail. She looked Kale up and down, then held out her hand. "Nice ta meet'cha." She said with a smile. Kale looked at her hand then shook it happily. Crested winced slightly and Kale let go. She shook her hand around a bit. "Whew, quite a grip ya got." She mumbled. Kale couldn't help but chuckle a small bit at that. "Yeah...sorry Crested." ~~~ Kale laid in his bed, looking up at the ceiling. Kale was given his own room in one of the towers of the castle. Crested Shield was right outside his door, guarding him. "Goodnight Luna..." Kale mumbled to himself, falling asleep in the blanket of the night.
