> Vegeta’s Sacrifice! > by ShirtMechanic > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Prologue > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Prologue   It was a terrible time for the protectors of Earth, they already lost 3 heroes in the last hour. Gohan was killed by Majin Buu and Goku was out cold from the fight with Vegeta. But none of that compares to the decision Vegeta made. Three figures stood alone in a destroyed wasteland, two kids dressed up in gi's looked to a tall figure, brutally beaten. He had spiky long hair that seemed to defy physics. He wore a dark blue training suit that had been ripped to shreds "Listen, you need... to take good care of your mother," Vegeta explained. "Huh, take care of mom... but... can't you do that to dad?" Trunks asked. "You can take care of mom too, can you dad?" Trunks started to get scared, "Why would you say that? Why do you want me to take care of mom? Are you going somewhere?" Trunks questioned, Goten watching, not knowing what to say. "I want you two to leave and get far away from here," Vegeta sounded hesitant, "As for Buu, I'll fight him alone." This shocked Trunks and Goten, they didn't want to see him die. "Don't do that!" Goten begged. "Goten's right! We'll fight with you... you don't want to get killed, do you? You got to let us help you, are you in Goten?" Trunks asked his best friend... "Yea!" "See! We're with you!" Trunks look to Vegeta for approval. "Stop it!" Vegeta hissed, "It's too dangerous for you two... I'll finish this myself." “Come one! It’ll be easier to beat him with me and Trunks!” Goten said, eager to beat the pink monster. “We’ll gang up on him, h-he won’t know what hit him!” Trunks said hesitantly. "Yea you bet, we might do better than what you did!" At that moment, the two immediately covered their mouths. "Uh oh," Goten said muffled. There were a couple of moments of silence until Vegeta spoke up. "Trunks... you're my only son and I've never held you once since you were a baby have I?" Vegeta asked. He turned to look at his son and stuck a hand out, "Come here, son." Trunks took a step back in surprise, "Dad, what's wrong?" Trunks said as he was brought in for an embrace. “This is embarrassing, come on dad… cut it out.” They would be like this for a minute. While one the sidelines, Goten was sucking his thumb Vegeta looked down one last time at his son, "Trunks, there's something you must know... ... You've made me proud... my son." The prince then let go of Trunks and hit him in the neck, making him go unconscious. "What did you do to him! Why'd you hit Trunks!" Goten yelled. “What’s wrong with you! why’d you do that to Trunks!” Out from a distance, Piccolo the Namekian watched the scene unfold, saying nothing. He didn’t want to alert Vegeta of his presence. Goten ran up Vegeta and grabbed his waist and started to shake him, “Why’d you do that tell me, why did you do that to Trunks! You’re his dad, dads aren’t supposed to do bad things to their sons! Why did you hit him, why did you hurt him like that? Why? WHY!” Goten shouted. Vegeta finally had enough and punched Goten in the gut, making sure to only make him unconscious. Goten grabbed his stomach and fell onto his knees, that punch made him go out of  Super Saiyan, he then fell onto the hard rock land beneath him. Piccolo flew down from the rock he stood on and landed close to the Saiyan prince, hesitant of what he was going to say. "Vegeta, I think I understand... and one day... so will Trunks" The namekian answered. They both stared at each other for what seemed like hours but was interrupted by sensing the overwhelming power from Majin Buu heading towards them. They look to the source to see the pink man child, humming a tune. "Mean big man, which guy hit Buu?" Majin Buu questioned, sounding frustrated. "Take the two boys as far away from here as possible... go now." The Saiyan prince explained. "Of course," Piccolo answered. They both walk past each other, Vegeta getting prepared by gathering energy and Piccolo grabbing the children under his arms. "It's time, hurry!" Vegeta sounded hesitant] like he didn't want to do this. The air started to tense up, the wind being pushed away from Vegeta. Piccolo hesitantly turns around to see the Prince looking away, focusing on the direction of his destiny. "You'll die, you know that." they stood there for it seemed like hours to them. "Just tell me one more thing before you go," the Prince asked. "In this otherworld or whatever it's called, will I see Kakarot again?" Piccolo was hesitant about answering the question but found the right answer. "I couldn't forgive myself if I gave you a false hope at a time like this, so I'll tell you the truth." Piccolo answered, "You won't see him." Vegeta winced at the last words the Namakian said, hoping he didn't have to go to hell. But that wouldn't be the case. "You've taken the lives of far too many innocent people, Goku devoted his life to protecting the lives of others, because of his selflessness, he was able to keep his body and travel to King Kai's planet. You, on the other hand, your body will cease to exist and your soul will be sent to a very different one than where the soul of Goku's will end up. And once there your soul will be cleansed and your memories erased, making you into a new life form." Piccolo explained. "I see, well that's too bad." Vegeta answered, looking towards his fate, Majin Buu was getting closer ever so slowly, "That will be all, now get out of here and hurry!” "Right!" With that, Piccolo flared his aura and flew off with great speed to get as far away as possible from the dangerous threat. “Hey wait, You don't leave now” The Majin raised its hand and pointed it at Piccolo, preparing to fire a ki blast. “Hold on, Majin Buu!” The prince shouted. “Huh?” Buu looks towards Vegeta, clenching his fist in front of him. “You'll deal with them, only after you defeated me! Got that, you big pink twerp!” The prince's insult pissed Buu off. Buu faces Vegeta, clenching his fists and blows steam from his head. “You don't call Buu not nice names, you big meaney!" Buu then blew more steam into the air, "You got a big dirty mouth!" “Heh,” Vegeta kept laughing at him but knew it wouldn’t last long. “Buu make you go bye-bye!” The prince laughed more at the monster with no intelligence. "Buu angry now, Buu very angry!" “Well, now I finally figured out how to deal with you... let’s go!” Vegeta then lifts his left arm to his side and powers up, creating a sphere of ki around him, with another one burning like an inferno, destroying rock formations around him. “You a big nobody, Buu make you chocolate, Buu eat you... No, Buu feel like make you candy, Buu make you that!” As Buu thought of tasty treats to turn Vegeta into, he didn’t notice the tiny ki particles coming off the Prince. “Hahaha. You are a fool... The key to defeating you is to obliterate you so completely, that your regeneration won't be possible!” Buu started to notice the ki particles coming off the prince then ki came off him as well. “Goodbye to you all, Trunks... and Bulma... I’d do this for you... and yes... even for you... Kakarot.” Vegeta looked out into the distance, looking at the peaceful planet one last time. He then gave a mighty yell, full of agony. His screams could be heard for hundreds of miles, but they weren't his only yells. Majin Buu screamed in pain as his body was obliterated with small pieces scattering around, but Vegeta didn't stop there. He wanted to make sure there was no trace of the monster left, but at a cost. Vegeta felt his body being torn apart, almost like at any moment it would detonate under the pressure, but something odd happened. At that very moment, the power of the blast ripped a hole through dimensions, but Vegeta never noticed. With every second, the rip got larger and larger to the point it was the size of the Saiyan Prince. He was then tugged by its force, Vegeta then noticed the rip through space and time and he tried to resist it, but the amount of damage he received and all of his energy was in the blast, Vegeta couldn't hold it any longer. He realized it was pointless and let go.  "Dammit... all..." as Vegeta fell through the vortex. The Prince looked around himself to see his normal reality change into a cartoonish one, confusing him greatly. He saw small hints of the dimension that he'll arrive in but his vision was blurry. Eventually, he passed out for exhaustion and floated through the passage. "Oh my beloved subjects, it's so long since I've seen your precious, little, sun-loving faces" Nightmare moon said with venom in her voice. "What did you do with our princess?!" Rainbow yelled, she darted towards the dark princess but was stopped by Applejack. "Woah there nelly!" as AJ bit down on Rainbows tail. Nightmare moon just laughs at the cyan pegasus's pointless try. "Why, am I not royal enough for you? Don't you know who I am?" "Oo more guessing games! Um... Poke Smokes, how about Queen Meanie, no Black Snooty. Yes, Black Snoo-" Pinkie excitedly said before an apple was shoved into her mouth by Applejack. Nightmare looked at Fluttershy and leaned towards her, scaring away her birds, "Does my crown no longer count now I've been imprisoned away for a 1000 years," She then looked to Rarity who was frightened as well. "Did you not recall the legend, did you not see the signs?" "I did!" A voice called out. Nightmare Moon turned to see a purple unicorn with a dark purple mane. " And I know who you are, you're the mare on the moon. Nightmare Moon!" Everypony gasped by the name that they feared for many years. "Well well well, somepony who remembers me. Then you also know why I'm here." The dark mare flapped her wings to show elegance. "You're here to... to..." Twilight got nervous and stopped talking, making Nightmare Moon chuckled. "Remember this day little ponies, for it's your last. From this moment, the night... will last... forever! Hahaha!" Her mane then created a cyclone indoors while lightning struck the ground. But something unusual happened, a portal opened in the middle of the storm and threw a creature into an open area, surprising the ponies and Nightmare Moon. "What is this?" The creature looked like it was beaten to death, it had spiky golden hair that turned black, wearing a torn-up training suit and white gloves and boots. It's none other than Vegeta. "What is that thing?" A pony called out.  "What is it wearing!" Rarity blurted out, "It's so dreadful!" Everypony looked at her with a 'really' plastered across their faces. She chuckled nervously. Twilight walked over to Vegeta to inspect him but was stopped by Applejack. "Ah' wouldn't go by that thing partner." Applejack said, glaring at Vegeta. "Why?" "Because it could've been summoned here by Nightmare Moon." Fluttershy ignored Applejack's comment and walked over to the beaten prince and inspected him. She turned back to her friends with a scared look, "He's hurt really bad!" Fluttershy said. "Fluttershy get away from it!" Rainbow Dash said with a hint of fear, Fluttershy gave her an odd look. "It's looking right at you!" Fluttershy turned around to see Vegeta looking at her with a dead stare, frightening the shy pegasus. The prince looked around himself and saw ponies surrounding him, who was staring at him with disbelief, "What are you all looking for!" Vegeta spat. All the ponies except the mane 6 and Nightmare Moon, ran out of the building "Hey, buster!" Rainbow yelled, "What's your problem!" "What's it to you?" said Vegeta, struggled to get up to one knee, but when he did. The ponies realized how badly wounded he was. His top was almost gone, holding on by a small piece of his clothing, his pants were ripped in places. One of his gloves was missing and the boots were almost ripped to shreds. Vegeta got up onto his feet and grunted with each step as he was slowly making his way to the door. "No way you’re leaving on my watch!" yelled Rainbow. She sped towards the Saiyan with haste. Vegeta noticed this and smirked, just as Rainbow was about to strike the Saiyan, he moved to the right at speeds nopony can trace. Rainbow Dash was shocked. "Pfft, your nothing compared to me," said Vegeta, appearing behind the blue pegasus. "Wha! How did you?" said Rainbow, frightened at the sheer speed of the Saiyan, this only continued to please the prince. "Stop ignoring me!" screamed Nightmare Moon, this caught the interest of Vegeta. The Saiyan Prince got a good look at the night pony, she had a pitch-black coat with wings and a horn on her forehead, and light blue eyes with its pupils slitted like a snake. It also wore silver armor across its body and head. "Who are you?" asked Vegeta. This got Nightmare Moon's attention and she grinned. "I'm Nightmare Moon, the pony that will encase this world with an eternal night!" boasted Nightmare Moon. She only heard chuckling from the Saiyan, further angering her, to the amusement of the Saiyan. "Pfft and why's that, you want to rule the world with an iron fist?" Vegeta mocked, "Because trust me, it never works out". He then noticed the rise of power emitting from the night pony, but it was nothing compared to him. "Let's see thou mock thee after this!" yelled Nightmare Moon, charging a powerful magic blast with her horn. The mane 6 noticed this and fled from the Saiyan. "Yo dude!" Rainbow Dash yelled, "Move out of the way!" But it didn't reach the Saiyan, he was lost in thought on how weak Nightmare Moon was. 'I'm not going to get a workout out of this, this isn't even a warmup.' Vegeta thought as he saw the magical blast flying towards him at speeds faster than the normal eye, but Vegeta just smirks. "Watch out!" Twilight yelled, but it was too late. The blast hit the Saiyan and blew upon contact, dust and smoke had filled the room and the lungs of the ponies, sending them into a coughing fit. "What a foolish ape, thou never stood a chance." Nightmare Moon laughs maliciously. The night pony then turned into a stary mist and flew out the building, into the dark everfree forest. "Hey get back here!" Rainbow yelled, following Nightmare to the best of her ability, but lost sight of her in the starry sky. “The night will last, forever?” Rainbow asked herself in disbelief. She then flew back into town hall to see if her friends were ok. “Pfft, what a weak attack,” Vegeta commented as the dust settled, “She did that to get away, what a coward.” The Saiyan Prince looked at his surroundings to see the shocked faces of everypony in the room. He smirked as the purple one kept muttering how he shouldn’t have survived that attack while the others just stood still in shock. “Wha… Who are you?” Twilight had managed to get some words out but then went back to muttering how he survived the attack. “Hmph, I’m the Prince of all Saiyans, Vegeta.” Vegeta answered with a smirk, “Now answer me this, “Wherein Dende’s name am I?” > Chapter 1 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 1 Somewhere in the Everfree Deep in the Everfree forest, standing on a cliffside was the ruined castle of the two sisters. A castle that had been long abandoned, for a thousand years. But the silence was disturbed when a starry mist had flown through one of the broken windows. It then proceeded to form into a tall, dark alicorn that had an irritated look on it. "We can't believe a monkey would have the nerves to anger me!" Nightmare Moon shouted. She stomped her hoofs on the floor, cracking it instantly. "Thou ape will pay for opposing me!" then she lit up with a malicious plan, "We sensed great power from that ape, we could put it to good use." Nightmare moon started chuckling, then it went to a malicious laugh. "You will be my puppet, monkey!" "That 'Nightmare Moon' is a coward, It's no wonder she's weak," Vegeta said as he flew over the Everfree forest. He had left the town hall in search of Nightmare Moon. He'd believed when hearing it from Twilight, that she believes that Nightmare Moon had summoned him. Vegeta kept flying over the forest, trying to locate the dark alicorn but heard multiple screams. He spun his head around to see the 4 of the 6 mares he'd seen at the town hall, falling down the side of a cliff. 'tck, what a nerve' Vegeta thought. He saw the Rainbow one pick up one of the mares while the one with pink hair caught another, but there was still two falling. 'Goddammit!' Vegeta thought as he flew down to the other two. He saw the purple one holding onto the ledge while the orange one with a stetson holding onto a branch. The Saiyan prince increased his speed as he closed in on her. Applejack had letten go of the branch and slid down to Twilight and held her by the hoofs, but she was slipping. "AAAAHHHHHH!" Twilight Sparkle screamed as she let go of Applejack, trusting her word. As she fell, she thought of all the great things she did with her family and her teacher. As she was about to hit the ground, Vegeta swooped down and grabbed her at the last second. Twilight opened her eyes to see the Saiyan prince, holding her in the air bridle style. "Don't think this means I'm here to help," said Vegeta. "Wha... when did you?" Twilight asked in confusion. "Just shut it," Vegeta snarled, getting the unicorn to shut up. Vegeta landed back on the ground with the group of ponies, he then proceeded to drop Twilight onto the ground. "Why are you out here getting yourselves in trouble?" Vegeta asked, he got bored of flying around and he needed to find out something interesting. "What's it to you buster, you just left when we told you where we were," Rainbow shouted angrily. 'that damn pony is getting on my nerves' Vegeta thought. "We're out here helping Twilight gather the Elements of Harmony." Applejack said truthfully. Vegeta turned to the cowgirl pony and gave her an unamused look. "You're looking for elements?" "That's correct, and we're going to use them to defeat Nightmare Moon," Twilight said. This had gotten Vegeta's attention, "Wait, you're telling me that you're going to defeat Nightmare Moon." "Yup" "And you know where that coward is hiding?" "Yes!" Pinkie said as she bounced around the Saiyan Prince. "Interesting..." Vegeta chuckled, "So, where is she?" Vegeta asked he was preparing to pummel the night pony into the ground. "She's at the castle of the two sisters not too far from here," Twilight said, filling him in. "Thank you all for telling me, I'm going to go pay her a...," Vegeta said mockingly, "What do you call it?" "A visit?" "A beating that's it, I'm going to go pay her a beating." Before the ponies can ask what he meant by that, he ignited his aura and flew towards the castle with great haste. Nightmare Moon sat patiently on her makeshift throne, quietly scheming an evil plan to take control of the Saiyan Prince. She then senses the Saiyan heading her way, and she grew a devilish grin. 'Perfect timing,' Nightmare Moon got off her makeshift throne and walked over to a broken window. 'come to me, my puppet.' She sees the Saiyan prince flying towards her with a white fire around him. This intrigued her, but she put those thoughts away as she was putting her plan in motion. "There you are." Vegeta stopped right in front of her, floating in place. Nightmare Moon had a devilish grin and was waiting for the right moment. "My my, thou doing here in thins castle?" Nightmare Moon asked in a curious tone. "I've heard some rumors from a certain pair of ponies that you summoned me here." Vegeta then gave her a death glare, "Did you." "Why of course not, why would we summon you?" Nightmare Moon then walked back to her throne and sat down, while Vegeta floated into the chamber, or what's left of it. "But we've got a proposition for thou." Nightmare Moon started. 'He's now in position,' Without catching Vegeta's attention, part of her starry mane had slipped off her. It slowly crept behind the prince why camouflaging its self with the night sky. "Oh," Vegeta mockingly said, much to the night alicorn's annoyment. "And what that might be?" "Serve me, become my second in command," She said, getting up from her throne and walking towards the prince slowly, "Together we can take over Equestria and beyond," She then gave him a seductive look, "And I get to get you anything you want." "Can you send me back where I came from?" was Vegeta's only response. "Possibly, with time." Vegeta thought hard on it, now hearing or sensing the starry mane behind him, getting ready to attack. "It sounds too good to be true," Vegeta said with a smile. Nightmare Moon grinned devilishly, but before she could say anything, she was interrupted. "But I know past those lies, you can't send me back, even if you wanted to." Nightmare Moon stood still, which kinda unnerved the prince. But she then seemed to stiff up a bit. Vegeta thought this was odd but he simply shook it off. "Well that's a shame," Nightmare Moon said, shaking her head, "I'd hoped to have a sentient being at my side, but I was wrong" "The hell do you mean by that..." Vegeta then felt pain, similar to the Majin magic infecting him. "AAAAAGGGGHHH" The prince screamed in agony, falling to his knees and clutching his head, 'Dammit! Not again!' Vegeta thought. "You're such a big fool, can't believe that you fell for my trap." Nightmare Moon gloated, taking in the victory she thought she won. "With you under my control, I'll take over Equestria with your power, and nopony will be able to stop me!" She then descended into maniacal laughter. What she didn't know was Vegeta had a strong will and the strength on his side. He resisted harder and harder, pushing the mind parasite out of his head. With some effort, he stood back up and increased his power to such a high degree, he formed a crater around him. Nightmare Moon noticed this development and forced more effort into the spell, but it was failing. "You're the fool," Vegeta growled as he stared daggers into the now frightened dark alicorn. "You won't control my mind and body, even if you did, there'd be one thing you'll never take!" "And... what's that?" Nightmare Moon studdered, for the first time in a thousand years, the dark alicorn was scared to death. "MY SAIYAN PRIDE!" Vegeta yelled as he transformed into a Super Saiyan, therefore forcing the mind parasite out of the prince's head, running quickly back to its master. Nightmare Moon stared in awe and total fear. What she saw was a legendary transformation only a few Saiyans have achieved. The Saiyan's hair had become a bit spiker and its color changed from dark coal to a shimmering golden shine, much like the sun. His eyebrows changed to the same color, but the eyes had changed to a light blue, but they were filled with hatred. Towards her. "Tell me one thing moonbutt," Vegeta chuckled at the new nickname, "Do you feel fear?" Vegeta repeated a similar sentence from the past. The dark alicorn could only shudder, she couldn't make out a single word. "Wha... what are... you!" She yelled out in fear. The Saiyan could only chuckle darkly towards her, making the alicorn stiffen even more. "I'm the Prince of a now-extinct race, I'm a warrior who had brought the death's of hundreds of races, the rival to a Saiyan above me," Vegeta said with venom trailing the last part. He then brought his fists to his side and charged up even more. "THE ALMIGHTY PRINCE VEGETA!!" He roared with so much power, the planet seemed to shake under his immense power, creating earthquakes and creating hurricane-like winds. "Please...!" Nightmare Moon stated, quickly getting on her hooves and bowing profusely, "Please spare me!! I... I'll be yours... servent! I'll do anything you want!!" She quickly begged, hoping she could escape this death situation, she would however fail. Vegeta powered back down to his base form "Pfft, I have no use for worms like you," Vegeta lifted his right hand and faced it towards the cowering alicorn. "The ones who think are all mighty and tough, only to beg for mercy at the feet of their opponent." Particles formed in front of his hand, soon condensing into a bright blue ball of energy. "However, there is one thing you can do for me..." Nightmare Moon could only shake in fear, afraid of what it might be. "What's... that?" "Die," Vegeta was about to launch the energy attack, but it was then shot away by a blast. Vegeta turned around to see the 6 ponies from earlier looking at him with fear. He saw Twilight's horn was flowing with magic, signaling that it was her that shot his attack away. "What do you think you're doing!" Twilight asked. "Ending this coward, she does not deserve to live after she tried to take control of me," Vegeta stated, fully turning around to face the ponies, while Nightmare Moon tried to hide behind her throne. "You were going to kill her!" "She deserves it." "But there's another way we can solve this!" Twilight said. She and the other ponies scooted closer every chance they had. "And what could you possibly have in mind, use those elements I've heard from you." Nightmare Moon's slitted pupils shrank to pinpricks, which surprised the Prince, 'there's something that scares her more than me? I'll have to change that...' Vegeta thought as he saw the alicorn shaking. "Yes," Twilight answered, "With the elements of harmony, we can banish her to the moon again!" "Again?" Vegeta asked, he then turned around to see Nightmare Moon, failing to hide behind a rock. "Explain." Nightmare Moon seemed to stutter but managed to calm down a bit, telling the Saiyan prince of what happened a thousand years ago. When the ponies wouldn't appreciate her night, making her jealous. She then became Nightmare Moon and she fought against her sister but lost. She was then sent to the moon for a thousand years, but when she finished, she didn't realize a punch going for her muzzle. She then felt it connect and send her back into a wall. "That is the dumbest story I've ever heard," Vegeta commented, seemingly brushing off the looks of horror from the mane 6. "Your so pathetic, trying to take over the world because of jealousy!" Vegeta spat out, filled with venom. "What do you know! You haven't felt the pain that I've felt!" Nightmare Moon shouted in anger, but little does she know. This had angered the Prince to new levels, his aura had started to form around him like a raging fire. "I've felt more pain than you could ever imagine," Vegeta shouted, "I've lost my planet, my race, I lost my pride when I was forced under the rule of the very monster that had destroyed the planet I was destined to rule!" Vegeta empathized by powering up. "I had to live under that bastard rule for my entire life! I GAVE UP EVERYTHING I HAD TO SERVE HIM! MY PRIDE, MY FATHER!" Vegeta shouted, flying towards the alicorn at speeds that would impress Rainbow Dash. He punched Nightmare Moon in the muzzle, making her spit out a mixture of blood and saliva. She was then grabbed by the Saiyan Prince and threw in the air. "I had to be second to a lower class warrior for 10 years!" Vegeta then appeared above her and then threw her against the ground like a ragdoll. "Did you have to feel, knowing that you became stronger than a lower class warrior, only to be surpassed by him again, over and over again!" He started to launch towards her, throwing a barrage of punches, making the Alicorn scream in pain, coughing up blood. "YOU WOULD NEVER UNDERSTAND OR FEEL THAT PAIN!" Vegeta then emphasized by landing a massive punch to the gut, making his aura flare-up 10 times. Nightmare Moon was in a daze, she was spitting out a lot of blood, more than a pony should. She was then picked up by her horn and was looking straight into the eyes of the Saiyan. She was then headbutted, sending her into a wall. "That's enough!" Twilight exclaimed. "You shut up, pony!" Vegeta yelled, he then faced his hand back at Nightmare Moon, who was knocked unconscious. The ball of energy had gathered together and condensed to bright blue light. This time the blast was detonated by another magical, but not Twilight's. I bright flash of light covered the room, blinding everypony but Vegeta. He saw a regal white alicorn fly into the room. Her mane flowed like the wind, her magenta eye's filled with anger towards Vegeta. "That's enough!" > Chapter 2 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 2 "That's enough!" called out a voice behind Vegeta and the mane 6. The prince turned around to see another pony with wings and a horn standing in front of him. "Who the hell are you?" inquired Vegeta. He began to inspect the mare in front of him. He noticed the pony was as tall as him, or even taller. He also noticed how different the new pony is compared to the one who pissed him off a couple of minutes ago. The mare in front of him had a pure white coat with a slight pink tinge, a shimmering tail and mane that consists of colors from the rainbow, violet eyes, wings, a long, straight, spiraling white horn, and a golden crown and necklace. "Princess Celestia..." gasped Twilight. She then bowed her head in respect, along with the other ponies. Vegeta didn't bow, however, he nodded in acknowledgment since he was a prince as well. He stood in front of the winged unicorn, not being fazed by her tall stature. 'So this is there Princess,' Vegeta thought as he looked at the Alicorn with interest. 'Twilight Sparkle and your new friends, I need you to use the Elements of Harmony. This is our chance to use them on Nightmare Moon.' Said Princess Celestia telepathically, which was heard by the mane 6. The ponies raised their heads and gave Princess Celestia an understanding look. The mane 6 nodded and ran out of the chamber, looking for the Elements of Harmony. While Vegeta noticed this, he didn't give a damn in the world. He looked back at the Princess, looking into her eyes for her true intentions. What he saw surprised him. He was many things in her eyes, such as joy, caring for her ponies, and her happiness for a student. But he had also seen sadness, grief, and loss. Princess Celestia had also been looking into Vegeta's eyes. But what she saw couldn't even compare to what she had seen throughout her entire lifetime. She had seen the destruction of hundreds of planets and a lust for combat. But she also had seen that there was happiness, not for the lust of combat, but family. She could tell that he had done something terrible recently, and had tried to make it up. "What the hell you looking at?" snarled Vegeta, interrupting Princess Celestia from her thoughts. She regains herself and puts on a motherly smile that reminded Vegeta of his mother, Queen Cassava. "I'm simply searching for any bad intentions you might have." Princess Celestia simply said. This had gotten Vegeta to chuckle, getting Celestia to quirk an eyebrow. "Sunbutt, you couldn't even begin to count the number of times I did something bad," Vegeta stated, looking at the Alicorn with a grin. Princess Celestia had frowned at this, knowing that this creature can be a problem if it had decided to attack her little ponies. She had to somehow coax Vegeta into some terms. "What do you plan to do with my little ponies?" "Nothing, unless you want me to change that," Vegeta said as he got up in the princess's face, staring the alicorn down. They stared each other down until the noise of hoofsteps echoed throughout the royal hall. Vegeta turned around to see the 6 ponies from earlier with the six circular stones he saw from before. He looks to the unconscious alicorn in the middle of the room with a scowl but then scoffs as he starts to walk away from the ponies. "Hey!" Rainbow shouted, "Where are you going buddy!" Vegeta looked behind him to see the ponies, except for Celestia and Fluttershy, they starred the Saiyan down, which made Vegeta smile. 'Like that could intimidate me...'. "Going to go clear my head." The Saiyan then proceeds to ignite his aura and fly out of the room into the everfree. Leaving the group a bit surprised, but this left Celestia curious about the prince. The alicorn looked to her student with a quirked brow. "Who was he?" Princess Celestia asked with curiosity trailing her voice. Twilight looked up to her teacher, "His name was Vegeta, Prince Vegeta of the Saiyan race..." Twilight then went onto explain who he was, base on what she heard from him when he was fighting Nightmare Moon. This had piqued Celestia's interest, but more important matters were on her mind as she turned to the unconscious alicorn. Vegeta was flying throughout the forest, looking for a place to make camp until he found a way back home. The Saiyan was still pissed at Nightmare Moon for trying to make him a puppet, it sickened him. He eventually found a small cave in the side of a cliff. He softly landed onto the ground to make as little noise as possible, he wanted to be left alone at the moment. He walked into the dark cave, his footsteps echoing into the cave. He found a 'comfortable' spot on the floor near the entrance to the cave. "Who needs ponies and their shit, rocks are comfortable to sleep on right?" Vegeta commented as he sat against the cave wall. Immediately, Vegeta was uncomfortable, "I've made a terrible mistake..." "Yes, you have..." a booming voice echoed throughout the cave, seemingly deeper inside the cave. Vegeta looked to his right to see two yellow reptilian eyes starring at him. "Who are you to enter my cave!" The voice was closer now as more of the figure revealed himself. It was a large red reptilian with two brown horns sticking out of his forehead. The dragon stared daggers at the Saiyan, who remained calm. "What does it matter to you?" Vegeta said flatly, angering the dragon. "Now why don't you be a good lizard and fuck off." "How dare you!!" the Dragon threw a claw at the Saiyan, who easily dodged the attack. This surprised the dragon, but he stupidly sent a barrage of attacks that made the Saiyan laugh. "STOP MOCKING ME!!!" The Saiyan then appeared in front of the dragon, surprising the reptilian. The Saiyan gut-punched the dragon, making the reptilian keel over and spit up a lot of blood. Vegeta then placed his palms on the gut of the lizard with a smirk. "P-please don't kill m-me..." "Ok," "Truly?" "No" The next thing the dragon knew was nothing. In a flash of light, Vegeta had lit up the cave with his ki blast, incinerating the dragon within a second. The blast had traveled its way out of the cave and into the morning sky, getting the attention of the ponies of Ponyville. As the blast died down, it revealed a very happy Vegeta, him smirking as he finally let out some steam. The Saiyan Prince then went back to where he was before and sat down against the cave wall. He then closed his eyes and got some sleep he hadn't had in a while.
