> A New World For A Time Patroller Hero > by Zeo-13 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Pilot (Edit) > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Conton City is home to the Time Patrollers; people from all over the Universe to do one job: to protect time and history. It's also the home to the divine being herself, Supreme Kai of Time, and her pet divine bird Tokitoki, who has the ability to create time within Universe 7. Conton City is a place where it floats in the sky and has advanced technology, as well as multiple places for the Time Patrollers to hang out and unwind a little. It was originally named after Tokitoki and called Toki Toki City. I know. Shocker. Anyway, you're probably wondering "Why was it renamed?" Well, little Jimmy, let me tell you; when Conton City was still known as Toki Toki City in the age of 851, there was a rumor around town and people were wondering, “Just how powerful is Supreme Kai of Time and what can she do?" Well, they didn't have to wait for long for the answer, because in no time at all, Supreme Kai of Time heard of this rumor and let's just say, she got a little too full of herself and wanted to show the people what she can do. However, she decided to give a demonstration of her power and so, she showed everybody just how mighty and powerful she truly was. One of the things the Supreme Kai of Time did was passing her strength into the dragon on the Dragon Ball Pedestal. The dragon statue then grew in size and began to move as if it were alive! It was really impressive at first, but it eventually grew so much that it turned Toki Toki City into ruins. As Toki Toki City began to overflow with time rifts and came to the breaking point, the dragon pushed both the city and Time Patrollers over the edge. So, the Supreme Kai of Time had no choice but to transform Toki Toki City into Conton City. She then tried to play it off by saying, "It's just faster this way, don't you think?" I still say she was in over her head when she did that and so does the other divine being that helps the Time Patrollers (for example Elder Kai, who is a little bit of a pervert, which for some reason scares me). Anyway, as a result of the transformation, the dragon now sits in the skies and watches over the new home of the Time Patrollers; Conton City. So, now that that's out of the way, you know who, what, were, and why for everything that's going on. Well, not the "why" part actually, but hey, don't worry about that, because we're getting into that now. So, anyway, at the center of Conton City's Recreation Plaza (home to the Shop Area and the Holographic Statue of the Legendary Time Patrol Hero), three beings stand in the middle of the plaza walkway. One of them was a male Frost Demon of sorts who stood at 5' 7'', was covered in completely white armor, had a tail that was also completely white, and there were crystals on his arms, legs, feet, and on his forehead. His skin was all white as well and he seemed to have a facial resemblance to Cooler in his final form. His eyes were pure red, he was wearing a new red scouter on his left eye, and he had a Time Patroller symbol on the left side of his chest. The next being was a male human who had red spiked hair and eyebrows, and was the same height as the Frost Demon. His eyes were black and he was wearing a training temple gi. The said clothing was blue and had a weird design of circular waves similar to clouds that went from his shoulders to his feet. There was also a red strap that was going over and under his left and right under arm, and on the left side of his chest was a medal that looked like a dragon and held the straps in place. He had straps around both of his wrists and they were white with black lining. He also had boots that were black straps on the top and bottom with the rest being white, and the tip of the boots were blue. Finally, the last of them was a male Saiyan who stood at 5' 9''. His eyes were black too and he had hair that was spiky like... um… Well, have you ever seen Cloud Strife from Final Fantasy VII? It's like that, except a little shorter, has no sideburns, waving to the left instead of the right, and not blonde. Well, not now anyway, but I digress. He was wearing an orange gi that had the Time Patroller's symbol on his left chest and another one on the back. He also had a blue obi (if you don't know what that is, it's the belt karate and martial arts users wear) around the waste of his same organ baggy pants that had two dragons on both legs and a black undershirt with white gloves and boots that were black with the top of them being blue and a white line going down the middle and around the sole of the boot. This was the best team of Time Patrollers and protectors of history: Gabriel the Frost Demon, Romero the Human and twin brother of Gabriel, and finally, Ryan; the hero of Conton City, and Number One Time Patroller. While Gabriel and Romero were arguing about something, Ryan was on the holographic system and checking out if there are any new Parallel Quests or Expert Missions to do instead of listening to his best friends arguing about who is stronger, which will lead to them dueling it out as always. Ryan couldn't help but shake his head and smile. "I wonder who will win this fight," he thought to himself as he continued to search the system for missions. However, he didn't have time as both him and the brothers simultaneously sensed a very formerly ki signature and all three of them looked to the direction of the ki and found a girl that was 4' 9'' and had magenta hair and had strange clothing. This was Supreme Kai of Time and they found her walking towards them. Gabriel and Romero immediately stopped their arguing, and Ryan turned off the hologram before they gave her their full undivided attention to see what she wanted, but they didn't have to wait for long as Gabriel already knew what everyone's thinking. "Supreme Kai of Time! What brings you here?" asked Gabriel happily. "It's not urgent is it?" All she did was laugh and shake her head before answering. "No, Gabriel, it's not like that at all," she assured, waving a hand. "I just need to talk to Ryan, is all," she said looking towards Ryan. Ryan straightened his posture after hearing the news was for him. Supreme Kai of Time was about to say something, but then stopped and noticed that Gabriel and Romero were leaning a bit to hear her. She turned to them putting her hands on her hips and giving them a glare. "Alone you two," she said to them sternly. Gabriel and Romero backed up and laughed nervously and flew off to a spot that was not near them. Supreme Kai of Time straightened up right and turned back towards Ryan who just shrugged his shoulders and shook his head a little before returning to his previous stance again before asking his question, "So, Supreme Kai of Time, what do you need from me?" "I just have a mission for you, is all," she said to him while putting her hands on her hips. Ryan couldn't help but put a smile as big as he can make, jump in the air, and put his fist to the sky as high as he can. "YES FINALLY, I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS," Ryan shouted in excitement and went up to Supreme Kai of Time and crouched down to her height which surprised her, making her back up in surprise and a little nervous. "Well what is it? Do I need to save Goku? Defeat Cell? Stop Baby? Fight Jiren?! BROLY?!! GOGE-" Before he could continue shouting, however, Supreme Kai of Time stopped him by putting her hand over his mouth. "WHOA, WHOA, WHOA! Calm down, Ryan! One; yes, you are saving something. Two, that's what I came here to talk to you about," she explained with a concerned tone and a look to match with it. Ryan immediately took on a serious look upon hearing this. He knew that tone and look she was giving him all too well and he also knew that he needed to take this seriously. She then removed her hand and let Ryan stand up to his full height again before turning around and taking one of her hands to gesture to him to follow her. Ryan gave her a nod of acknowledgement and they went on their way. He didn't need to know where they were going, because he already knew where their destination was: The Time Nest. When they arrived, Ryan found himself in a place he knew all too well. The said place they were in had a path that led to a circular building with walls surrounding it and a giant tree on the roof. This was the Time Nest and all around him was bright green grass that always looked freshly cut. To the right of them was a small pond with a little land in the middle of it and birds rest on it. To the right was another circular building but smaller and had another birds rest on the left side of the building, and it was surrounded by machines and parts. "She should really take care of that junk. Denda knows how long that's been there," Ryan thought to himself and shook his head. They continued to walk down the path until they found the steps that led to the big building and found two beings standing at the entrance of the Time Vault. They were two people Ryan was both happy and worried to see. The first was a man who was 5' 8" and he wore a black cloak that had a brown collar, a giant sword on his back, and had short pink hair. The next was a purple-skinned man who was 4' 11'' with a small tuft of white hair on his head and a toothbrush-like mustache on his face. His face is very wrinkled, and it definitely showed his age. He was wearing the usual type of Kai clothing with teal underclothes. These people were Trunks and Elder Kai, respectively. They stopped in front of them to quickly say their welcomes. Ryan stopped in front of Trunks and gave his good friend/partner a good handshake. "Good to see you Trunks," he said. Trunks replied, "Good to see you too Ryan." They ended their handshake and Ryan turned to Elder Kai and gave him a bow of respect to him before saying, “And it’s good to see you, Elder Kai.” "Well, it's good to see you too, Ryan, and I'm glad that you have not forgotten your manners as a martial artist master," Elder Kai said while pointing a finger at him and giving him a stern look too. Ryan then returned to his previous stance and rolled his eyes at how many times Elder Kai demanded his respect and listened to him. "Oh, lay off him, old man," Supreme Kai of Time said while pointing a finger at him. "You should show him your respect to him, or did you forget how many times he saved your life?" "I CAN SHOW MY RESPECT TO THIS YOUNG WHIPPER SNAPPER WHEN I WANT TO!", Elder Kai shouted, stomping his foot. Ryan and Trunks couldn't help but laugh at the site before them, and it didn't take long for both Elder Kai and Supreme Kai of Time to join them in a quick laugh. After they got that out of their system, Ryan looked to Trunks as if he was about to ask him something, but Supreme Kai of Time stopped him and told him they had nothing to do with the mission and to continue to follow her into the Time Vault. Ryan gave her a nod and said his goodbyes to Trunks and Elder Kai before making his way into the Vault. Once inside, he found himself in the same room that he had gone into so many times. As it was on the outside, the innner section was a circular room that had mirrors all around the wall and they had pedestals with stars leading up to them. Some were pure black with no reflection and some were lit up, showing images from different time periods of the past, present, and future. Above the mirrors were diamond shaped holes with scrolls in them. Ryan had tried to count all of them before, but every time he did, he ended up with a different number. The roof was an open sky light with light from outside showing just a little and the roots of the tree on the roof were covering up most of the light. Finally, there was a hexagon table in the middle of the room with a couple of small chairs around it. Every time Ryan were to come here, he couldn’t help but smile at its beauty, but in the corner of his eye, Ryan found one of the scrolls on the table, "Supreme Kai of Time," Ryan said to get her attention. As soon as she turned her head to look at him, he pointed a finger at the scroll on the table. "AH! Yes, that's what I brought you here for," she said, but Ryan was confused. She had said that as if she was sad or something, but he didn't know why. She then grabbed the scroll and looked at it for a second before turning to face him. "We need to talk about your training," she declared and Ryan immediately understood why she was sad. All he did was groan at where this conversation was going. "Look, Ryan, I know you don't like me talking to you about this, but please, just listen to this for once," she begged him. Ryan was about to retort, but he stopped himself and looked at the ground to think a little. He never had given her a chance to explain herself to him and listen to her when she had asked so many times. After giving it some thought, Ryan sighed and waved his hand for her to continue, Supreme Kai of Time smiled and gave him a nod. "Ever since you became a Time Patroller, you have been training nonstop and overworking yourself to a point you almost died both metaphorically and physically. You don't even try to make friends. Now, before you say anything, I know you have Gabriel, Romero, Trunks, me, and the old man, but I mean, you should make more friends then the ones you already have today!" She said sadly with a wavy voice. Ryan could see and feel she was on the brink of tears, and he couldn't help but put his head down in shame. He had one of his friends (not to mention, his boss) on the brink of tears just over something he could accomplish so easily and yet, he didn't even try to do or listen to her request. Unfortunately, he knew she wasn’t going to stop there. "Even when we threw a party in your honor for defeating Mira, you didn't show! All you did was immediately going back to TRAINING!", she shouted. She was actually crying and that was pulling on Ryan’s heartstrings. All he could do was feel ashamed of himself. She was right. They threw a feast for everyone in his honor for both defeating Mira and returning Tokitoki's egg to her, and all he did was leave to go train as soon as he got back. Even though he never had attended a party before, he could have talked to the other Time Patrollers or even stayed for a little while. Now, he was both ashamed and mad at himself. Supreme Kai of Time was about to say more, but stopped herself and saw Ryan had his head down with eyes closed and a clenched fist. She saw that he had gotten the point and thought that was enough for him. She then sighed, wiped the tears off her eyes, and asked Ryan if he needed a moment, but Ryan said no. He told her that he understood and that he would try to do all those things when he got back. After hearing that, she walked up to him and presented him the scroll. "Alright. Now that's out of the way, here's what's going on. There's a world that was affected with Towa's magic. Now, this world is entirely new and no one knows about it except us. So, don't expect any help when you get there. Not even I can help," she said with a concerned voice. She didn't know how Ryan would take the news, but to her surprise, Ryan understood completely and accepted it. "Good, but there's another thing," she said, pulling out a small box out of her pocket and handing it to him. "The magic is weak and it can't do anything right now, but with time, it will become a problem. So, you're going to be staying there for a while." Ryan was shocked for a second. He had to stay in a world he didn't know for who knows for how long, but he cleared his head of those thoughts and nodded in understanding. If he was going to stay there to save it, then so be it. He grabbed both the box and the scroll before giving Supreme Kai of Time a bow. She then smiled and said happily, "See you when you get back!" "Yeah, see you then," he said in return and gave her a quick smile before turning around, putting the box in his pocket, and holding the scroll to his chest. "Let's do this!" As soon as he said that, a bright light engulfed him, gears started to go over his body, and the sound of a ticking clock coming from nowhere started slow but then picked up speed. Supreme Kai of Time thought it was in her hand, but she then heard a jingle going da na na na da na na naa and in a second, the light shined so bright that Supreme Kai of Time covered her eyes. When the light died down, she removed her hand to find both Ryan and that sound gone. She was confused for a second, but shrugged it off. Then, realized it was 12:00 and she looked up to see Tokitoki napping on a branch. She giggled for a second and called him down to have lunch. And now, our great hero is traveling at the speed of light to a planet he has never seen and never heard of: Equis. > Chapter 1: The Arrival of a Hero (Edited) > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- There was a beautiful night sky in Equestria. Both the stars and the moon shined bright and beautiful as Luna was at the balcony just outside her chambers, making sure that the night was at its best by moving the moon in a perfect place for the night and causing the stars twinkle brightly in the sky. She was just about to get to the rest of her duties for the night when all the sudden she felt a VERY strong presence in the vicinity of Ponyville. She was utterly baffled by this new power. How can something this strong just show up all the sudden? It was confusing, amazing, and... and scary. The energy was nearly as strong as that of herself and her sister combined, and that was very worrying. All of a sudden, the doors opened to reveal Celestia walking out to her sister. "Tia, this power! Can you sense it?" "Indeed, dear sister. Though, I can't tell what it is," she said with a worried voice. The power was nothing like anything she had felt and what worried her the most was that it was near Ponyville. Luna looked to her with a worried expression, "Sister, the power we feel is close to Ponyville. Shouldn’t we write young princess Twilight a letter?" Celestia shook her head as she kept her gaze towards the direction of Ponyville "That won't be necessary, dear Luna. This power could be anything. It could be Discord messing around for all we know. For now, let's just wait and see what happens." Luna was a little surprised by her sister’s response. This power had just popped up out of nowhere and near Ponyville of all places, and she wasn't going to notify Twilight about this. The princess of the night then looked back to Ponyville with a worried look on her face as she thought about what this power could be. "Is it really Discord? No, this is more than anything we have ever seen. It is even almost as big as Nigh- I must know what this power is and see the ‘thing’ that’s causing it." "Are you sure that is the best choice, sister? This may be a dangerous enemy- " She was then cut off by Celestia as she held up a hand to her. "Again, dear Luna, we still don't have enough information on whatever this power is. For now, all we can do is wait and see." As she gave one last look to Ponyville, the power they had felt disappeared all of a sudden, surprising them both. "T-the power… It is gone?" asked Luna with a little worry in her voice. However, Celestia just shook her head. "I do not think so, Luna. More likely, it has just hidden itself, which is concerning, but as I said sister, for now, we must wait until the time is right." She then turned around to leave and go back to her room. "Good night, Luna." "Good night, Tia,” Luna said as she then went back to her work, still worried. A couple minutes earlier In a beautiful grassland area in a clearing of a forest containing Picasso Calla Lily Blue flowers and a small waterfall, everything was quiet and peaceful. Then, all of a sudden, the wind started to pick up fast and a bright shine of white light filled the area. The sounds of gears turning and clocks ticking could be heard as the light shined even brighter, but then slowly died down to reveal Ryan. He opened his eyes to get a good look at his surroundings. "Geez, this place looks like a little girl’s coloring book," he said while he had a smile on his face and shook his head. Suddenly, he got a sense of two individuals with high power levels who looked like they were in a city of some sort, as they were surrounded by several individuals with much lower power levels. "Hmmm… If I have to guess, those being with high power levels probably know I'm here. Better lower mine just in case." As he said that, he lowered his power level to a point no one will be able to sense him. "There, but Supreme Kai of Time said that the power here is still dormant and I just need to wait, but... " He then took another look around. "Where to go?" he asked himself as he felt some low power levels and a couple big ones, but it felt like a small town. So, he thought he could go in that direction for now. As he was walking, he saw that the trees in the forest were really dense and looked out of color. Though he thought that they looked a little different, he just continued to walk and shrugged it off, but there was one thing that kept him on his guard: He felt all eyes were on him. He didn't know what or who it was, but he could feel them. He then stopped as he looked over his shoulder and lifted up his left foot behind him to see if he stepped in something, but he was pretending to as he used his super vision to quickly look around the area. He saw 20 yellow lights that looked like eyes, meaning 10 somethings were right behind him. He then put his foot down as he looked forward again and went on his way, but he also checked his scouter to see if these things were going to be a problem. The scouter turned on as it started to make beeping sounds. It showed him that three of those things were at a power level of ten and two of them were at a power level of twenty two. "So, those three with a power level of ten must be scouts and the two with a level of twenty two have to be the foot soldiers. Now, what about the other five?" he thought to himself as if this was a game of chess. The scouter then read that four of them having a power level of thirty-seven. "The knights, with a power level of thirty-seven. Very impressive. And now, the king." Finally, the scouter read that the last one was the most powerful, as it had a power level of fifty. Ryan let out a sigh as he thought they would at least be a challenge or at the very least, as strong as a cyberman (they had power levels of about two-hundred or more). "Oh, well, beggars can't be choosers." As he said that, he vanished and surprised the things following him. All of a sudden, the said things heard wood snapping before seeing that necks of the scouts had been snapped. More snapping sounds and a howl later, three more dropped dead and then, so did four more. The last one started to run away when all the sudden, a beam shot though its chest and its dead body fell to the ground. Ryan lowered his hand as he looked at the things that were following him. "Okay, what the hell." He was confused as his pursuers were wolves, but not just any normal, fluffy wolves you would see. These wolves were made of wood and had some green sap lekking out of them. "Well, that’s something you don't see everyday. Then again, I have seen weirder." He then started walking in the direction of the town again when all of a sudden, he sensed a low power level that looked like it belonged to a kid. He checked his scouter to see what it was. "12:56 am. It's past midnight. Either this world sleeps during the day or that's just a naive kid, but I can't be bothered by that right now." He was about to continue when he heard a high pitch scream not to far from him and it was coming from where the kid is. "Okay, now I can be bothered." He then hauled ass to where the kid was. A few minutes ago Apple Bloom was walking back from back from Zecora's after seeing her for some magical soil for the farm to help the trees grow bigger. She was only supposed to be there for a few minutes, but she got caught up helping Zecora a bit. Now, she was on her way back to the farm when all of a sudden, she got a chill up her spine. She slowly turned, only to see a pack of timberwolves slowly moving towards her. "O-oh. Umm… N-now, y'all don't need to do anything r-rash now. Hehehe," she said nervously as she started to back up slowly. While she did this, they growled at her and began moving closer to her. "AHHHHHHHHH!!" she screamed at the top of her lungs as she started to run away. When she screamed, they gave chase and soon, they were right on her tail. Apple Bloom continued to run as fast as she could and she was able hear the timberwolves right behind her. As she ran, she went through many trees and did her best not to get into anything poisonous or dangerous in the Everfree forest. She saw that she was almost out of there and could see the farm in the distance, but just when she was about get out, she tripped on her legs, fell down on the ground hard, and skidded to a halt. As she hissed in pain, she looked at her legs to see that her left leg had a big scrape on it and some blood was coming. As if things couldn't get any worse, her face turned pale when she saw the timberwolves close in on her. "A-a-a-Apple Jack. Big Mac," she said as tears started to go down her eyes as one of them was about to pounce on her. "S-somepony, anypony, HELP!!!" she screamed out as her last hope when one of them jumped at her. She closed her eyes and waited for her end… but nothing happened. All she heard was the sound of wood breaking and a howl, but no pain. Well, aside from her leg and all, but nothing else. No jaws on her flesh, no timberwolves eating her, nothing. She then slowly started to open her eyes and immediately, they went wide at what she saw. Several minutes ago Ryan was hauling ass through the forest. He was nothing but a blur to the normal eye as he went towards where that kid was. “Come on. Please, be safe,” he said as he reached his destination and saw more of those wolf things and... the kid. “What the…” he managed to utter. He was expecting... well he didn’t know what he would expect, but he DEFINITELY didn’t think about this. What he saw was the wolves closing in on a small girl who looked like a pony of all things, but while she had the legs and a little bit of her face of one, her arms were that of a human. “Oh, shit! One of them is about to get her!” He broke his train of thought when he saw one of the wolves pounce on the pony. He then vanished and appeared behind the wolf before punching it in mid air, his fist going through its back and out of the wolf's mouth. It died while howling in pain and Ryan tossed the dead wolf thing to the side. As the other wolves saw their comrade get killed, they turned their attention from the pony to Ryan, who proceeded to deal with them quickly as he charged at one of them and punched it so hard that its head came off. He then vanished again, reappaered next to one of them, and he kicked it in the side, causing it to go flying into one of them and right into a tree, killing them both. When he saw only two were left, he pointed his finger at them and shot two ki beams in their directon. The said beams went right through them and they immediately dropped dead. He let out a sigh of relief as he lowered his hand again and turned towards the girl… or filly? Doesn't matter. He looked at her at the same time as a cloud moved out of the moon and the light of the moon shined brighti allowing him and the girl to see each other clearly. He saw that she was wearing some blue jean shorts overalls and a white T-shirt that had a symbol of a purple star with a purple shield in it, and a pink apple in the middle of the shield. Next was that she had a horse tail that was cherry red and her maine was the same color as most of it was being held together by a red bow at the top of her head. From Apple Bloom’s point of view, she saw a man standing there after taking down the timberwolves so fast that she didn’t see it happen and she thought he wasn’t even trying, but when the moon light shined to show his full face, she went more wide-eyed as she saw he wasn’t a pony. He had a face that was a little similar to that of a pony, but it was a little flat. He had muscles she had never seen before and she also noticed he had no fur or tail. He was wearing some weird clothes and some boots that looked like his hooves were going outwards. His maine was upright and spiky, along with it being fully black and so was his eyes. Well, as far as she could see, since it was still dark and she could only see one eye as the other was being covered by a strange green thing. It had a white surface and a red button, and it was covering up one of his ears. Speaking of which, his ears were on the side of his head and not even a little pointy like a normal pony’s ears. She then saw on the left side of his chest was a very strange symbol that had the letters TP on them and an arrow going around them. Was that his cutie mark? She was then brought out of her thoughts as she heard him speaking. “H-Huh?” “I said are you alright?” he asked as she heard his voice was a little deep, but a little bit calm and happy too. “O-oh, y-yeah. Thanks, mister,” she said with a smile as he heard she had a southern accent. She then hissed in agony as the pain from her leg came back again. He ran over to her and then reached into his pocket before pulling out a small medkit and opening it reveal it was only big enough for some bandages. He grabbed the bandages, tossed the empty kit away, and then used a full roll of bandages to wrap around her leg. She hissed a little when he touched her leg, but the pain started to go away again. She then looked at him with a smile at his generosity, “Thank you, mister. If you didn’t show up, I would have been another piece of meat for those darn tootin timberwolves.” He then looked up at her with a puzzled expression on his face. “Timberwolves?” he said as he was confused at the name of the wolves he... well, he couldn’t say defeated, more like... slaughtered them as they were too easy to kill. “Mhm. Those wolves you took care of, they’re one of the most dangerous things in the Everfree forest!” she said in a little shout and a little bit of fear. “The Everfree forest? You mean this place?” he asked as he looked around the forest with confusion. “Yeah, this is the most dangerous and scariest place in Equestria!” she said again with a little bit louder shout. He then looked at her with even more confusion. Timberwolves, Everfree forest, Equestria? That's it, this place was officially a little girl’s coloring book. Apple Bloom then took notice of his face, “Yooooou, don’t know where we are?” she asked as she was confused as to how he didn’t know about the Everfree forest. “Ummm, lets just say I’m not from around here,” he said as he finished with the bandages. “There you go. You will be able to walk on it a little, but give it two days and your leg will be good as new” he said as she gave him a nod and a hug. He then patted her on the back a little before she let go of him and as he stood back up, she helped her get back on her feet as well. “Sooooo, what's your name mister?” He then offered her his hand. “Ryan. My name is Ryan.” She then took his hand as they shook hands. “I’m Apple Bloom of the Apple family,” she said with a smile as they stopped shaking hands. “So, what brings you here mister Ryan?” "O-oh ummm uhhhh ummm," he stammered and started to sweat a little as he tried to find what to say. He couldn't say exactly WHY he was here as it would freak her out of her mind. Not to mention, the millions and billions and trillions of questions she would ask him. She tilted her head to the side as she just waited for his answer while he was struggling to find an answer. He then thought of one. "Ummm, I'm just... travelling around the area," he said smiling nervously as he wasn't telling the FULL truth, but it still works… hopefully. Applebloom had a confused look on her face as she thought he wasn’t being completely honest with her, but she then smiled as she bought his story and he let out a sigh of relief. She had actually bought his story and he could relax a little. He then looked around a bit before looking at her with a confused look of his own, "Say, Apple Bloom, what are you doing out here? Don’t you have a home or something?" "Of course, I have a home, silly! My family farm," she said as she turned around and pointed to the red barn that had a small old rustic house to the right of it. The barn had a big red apple on the roof and looked both old and new at the same time. Maybe it had a little farm in the back for the animals, but he didn't look too deep into it. He then saw a HUGE field of apple trees that looked like it went on for miles and then, he saw a house that had a green roof. It was a two story house, suggesting that the top floor was where her and her family were sleeping, and that the main floor was where they would clean themselves up and make their food. "That's your home?" he asked as he couldn't believe that she works on a farm THAT big. "Mhm. That is my family farm!" she said happily and a little loud as she sounded proud of it. "It's the best place in all of Equestria!" "Huh, you don't say," he said as he was still confused as to what this "Equestria'' was. It could be the name of the world here or maybe it was the name of the contrary he was in. He just shook his head of his thoughts as those were questions for later. "Well, it was nice seeing you, Apple bloom," he said as he gave her a small wave and started to walk away. However, all of a sudden, he felt her grab his left hand and pull his arm a little. "Hmm?" "W-wait! You can't go now!" she pleaded as she tried to pull him back as best she could. "I-I need to thank you for saving me!" He turned his head over his left shoulder to look at her. "Listeni Apple Bloom. I don't mean to be rude, but I can't stay." "B-but I need to show you to my family and-" "I'm sorry, Apple Bloom, but I need to go," he declared as he turned his head and was about to walk off again when Apple Bloom spoke up again. "There's food," she said in a last ditch effort for him to stay. He then stopped in his tracks and stayed silent for a little bit before looking over his shoulder to look at her again "I'm listening." "Y-yeah, there's tons of food at my home." He stayed silent for a few seconds when his stomach becan to rumble, causing him to turn around and start walking towards her. "You had me at food," he said as he walked past her and made his way to her farm. She beamed at this and did her best to catch up to him with her injured leg, but was only able to get to his side as they walked over to the Apple family farm. Somewhere that was a few miles away from Ponyville, a pool of water in a nice green area was peaceful when all of a sudden, a dark pool of darkness opened up and a tall figure with black hair who was wearing some sort of armor emerged from it. The said figure looked around the area he was in and gave a sinister smile before he started to walk away. > Chapter 2: Hero Portaler, Meet the Apples (Edited) > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- As Ryan and Apple Bloom walked over to the Apple Family's house, they saw a path that led from the apple tree farm to the actual house and barn of the family, they took the path and continued to walk along the way. Ryan did think it would be faster and easier if he just flew or used his super speed to get there quickly, but he didn't want to risk it for two reasons. One; he wanted to keep a low profile around this place, especially those two high power levels he had felt when he first arrived on this planet. Therefore, he decided not to draw any attention to himself and keept his power level down so that he wouldn't be discovered. And two; he didn't want to hear any more questions than he was already getting from the small chatterbox right next to him. "I swear on Dende's name, I'm going to send myself to the other world if this kid won't SHUT THE FUCK UP!!" he thought to himself as he clenched his fist and gritted his teeth as Apple Bloom continued to ask him more and more questions. "No, I'm not going to show you how I defeated those wolves back there," he said as he let out a sigh. "The last thing I need is a kid like you running around doing the stuff I know how to do in this worl- I mean, in Equestria." "Awww, come on! Pleasssse," she said as she put on some puppy eyes and a sad cute face to persuade him to teach her, but all she got was him shaking his head at her. "Sorry, Apple Bloom, but no" he said, hoping that it was over. She then stopped making the cute face and started to pout as they continued to walk with complete silence. "..." "...so-" "FUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!!!" he yelled in his mind as he just let out a sigh and looked back at her. "What part of Equestria are you from? I don't think I know of a place or anypony else that looks like you" she said as she tilted her head and tried to think if she saw anything like him. As soon as she asked that, he started to get nervous a little and tried to make an excuse. However, luck was on his side as they were about to come up to the house. "Hey, look" he said as he pointed to the house, causing her to her head and see that they were about to walk up to the door. "Oh! Look at that! We're here!" she said with a smile on her face as she ran up to the door and opened it. "I'm home!" As Ryan was still walking up to the door, he heard two people running from in side and he walked in to see two people that were a little similar to Apple Bloom, but they also older. One of them was a girl who had emerald eyes and orange fur. Her mane and tail were blond, and she was wearing a white colored T-shirt that was tied at the bottom as it was revealing a little bit of her stomach. She was also wearing blue jeans that had a few holes in them where the knees were. Her tail was blond too and coming out of a hole in the back of her pants. She also had cowboy boots and and a brown cowboy hat that looked like some of her hair was hiding in it. The next was a guy who had the same color eyes as the girl. He had red fur and he looked like he was pretty strong if his muscles said anything, which made Ryan's fist tingle a little as he wanted to fight him, but he put his Saiyan instincts to the side for now. The guy also had a dirty blond hair, but it was a little orange looking too. He was also wearing a red neck chest pattern T-shirt and long blue jeans where he had his tail coming out from the back. His pants were a little worn out and a little dirty as well. He was wearing cowboy boots that were also dirty. The two then saw him as they stopped hugging Apple Bloom and got in front of her in order to protect her. "Who are you?" the girl asked in a serious tone as she looked like she was about to kick his ass. "Whoa! Whoa! Calm down. No need to go ahead and throw fists at me just because I walked in your house. Well, actually you can, but I have my reasons," Ryan said as he tried to defuse the situation since he didn't want to fight Apple Bloom's family, and as much as he wanted to REALLY punch something right now, he couldn’t do that as it would give him a bad reputation with not just Apple bloom's family, but also with others if they would go on tell people they know about him. Moreover, it would make him VERY known throughout this place and he would be either arrested or going somewhere with higher authorities, which is not a good idea when you’re trying to stay low. "Oh yeah? And what are those reasons, huh?" the girl asked as she eyed the man in front of her up and down, since she had never seen anyone like him before. Ryan was about to say something when Apple Bloom suddenly got in front of him and put her arms out like she was shielding him from her family. "Y'all don't need to go and hurt him or throw him out. He saved me from some Timberwolves when I was walking back from Zecora's," she said as she turned around to look at him and smiled. She then looked to the girl and declared, “Applejack, you know I'm telling the truth." The girl, whom Ryan had just found out her name was Applejack, first looked at him and then back at her sister. She then let out a sigh as she put down her fist and as soon as the man saw this, he did the same. “Alright, Apple Bloom. I believe you,” she said as she walked up to Ryan and offered him her hand. “Sorry about that. I just got a little protective when my little sister there didn’t come home at the right time. You how it is” “Ummm… Sure,” he said as he then took her hand he gave her a good handshake. When he did, Applejack somehwhat winced as he had forgotten his own strength and squeezed her hand a little bit. Therefore, he didn’t shake her hand for long and soon let go of it. As she then took her hand and made sure it wasn’t broken, he said, “Sorry about that. I… ummm… forget my own strength sometimes” he said, not completely lying to her. “It’s fine, don’t worry about it,” she said as she pointed to herself “I’m Applejack. That guy over there is Big Mac,” she said pointing to the man. “Eeeyup'' he said as she continued, “And you already know our little sister here, Apple Bloom” she said while patting Apple Bloom’s head, causing her to giggle a little. “Oh, and one more. GRANNY!!” she yelled as Ryan had to cover his ears at her yelling all the sudden. Shortly afterwards, he heard someone walking down the stairs. “I’m coming. I’m coming. No need to yell,” someone said. She sounded like an old lady with some kindness in her. When they walked around the corner of a open doorway, Ryan did indeed see an old lady who had dark lime green fur and a small white bandana holding her silver white hair in a bun. She was wearing a tan color t-shirt, some blue jeans that were a little worn out, and a small piece of cloth that was orgen and had big red apples on it. The old lady looked at Applejack and then to Ryan before she smiled and asked, “Oh! Are you Applejack’s boyfriend?” This caused Apple Jack to blush bright red as the other two siblings laughed a bit, but Ryan just tilted his head in confusion. Just like Goku, he didn’t understand women. Then, the old woman (who is apparently their grandma) started to laugh a little as she saw her granddaughter being so flustered. “Oh, lighten up, Applejack. I’m just teasing you,” she said as she walked over to Ryan. “I heard everything from upstairs. These walls ain’t too thick you know. Hehehe.” After her little joke, she then got a serious look on her face as she looked Ryan in the eyes. This didn’t faze him, but he knew that whatever she was going to talk about, she wanted a straight answer from him. “Is it ture that you saved my young little granddaughter Apple Bloom from those nasty Timberwolves?” she asked as the tension in the room changed all of a sudden. Ryan and Granny looked at each other, which made the siblings a little nervous about what would happen. After what felt like centuries Ryan then finally answered, “I did. I was traveling along that foriest outside your farm and I heard her screaming for help. I quickly ran to her voice and found her about to be dog food until I stepped in.” After he said that, Granny took in the information and then smiled at him. “Well thank you so much for saving her. I would have been so dreadful and lost if I knew my sweet little Apple Bloom would have gone away by those filthy animals.” Ryan smiled as he gave her a bow. “It’s no problem. I was merely helping her,” he said as Granny laughed a little at his bow. “You don’t need to thank me and no need to be formal. Come, you look like you need something to eat,” she said as she started to walk towards the kitchen to make dinner. Ryan then regained his posture as he looked at Apple Bloom and asked, “So, that was your grandma?” “Mhm. Her name is Granny Smith. She is a very kind person and is always willing to help anypony,” she replied as she went off to the kitchen to help her grandma with making dinner. “I can see that,” he noted as he then went to a nearby window, looked out of it, and started to think about what to do. Laying low and not being seen by anyone was his original plan, but right now, that wasn’t an option. He was now going to have to lay low with this Apple family and maybe help them out on their farm to get some un-noticeable training. Thank Denda he had trained with Master Roshi, since now, chores were nothing but training to him. As he continued to look out the window, he could feel Apple Bloom’s ki moving over to him. He sensed the others in another room and he could also sense the delicious smell of apple food. Needless to say, he could tell it was dinner time. Apple Bloom then came up behind him to, you guessed it, to tell him dinner was ready, as if the smell of the food and the sounds of the others setting the table in another room couldn’t tell him that. Well, he did have different ways to tell dinner was ready, but that was unfair for her as she didn’t have his better senses and abilities, so he would let that slide. As it then came sooner or later, he then felt her tap on his leg. “Hey, Ryan, dinner is ready!” she said as he turned his head to look at her while she was wearing a big smile on her face that looked so innocent, it could melt anyone’s heart, even if they were pure evil like Vegeta, Janemba, or even Beerus. Well, maybe not those last two, but most certainly Vegeta. Anyways, Ryan smiled and nodded at her as he thanked her. She then looked at the window and looked outside to only see her family’s apple tree farm and the night sky with the moon shining beautifully, but that was normal and she was actually looking for what he was staring at. “Hey, Ryan, what were you staring at? There’s nothing out there.” “Huh? Oh, I wasn’t staring at anything. I was just thinking,” he said as he then was about to walk to the other room to eat. Unfortunately, she was back at it again with the never-ending questions that would literally kill someone listening to them. “What were you thinking about?” “Umm... stuff” “What kind of stuff?” “For fuck’s sake, important stuff. Now, please, stop asking questions. I have to save them for your family, because I’m pretty sure they have some,” he said as he thanked Danda that she understood and started to follow him to the dining room. As they came in, they found the table set FULL of food! Forget manners, his saiyan stomach was hungry as he was literally drooling and wanted to dive right in! He then quickly sat down and even though he was hungry, he did have a little self restraint to be polite and wait for the people of the house to sit down first. They then slowly started to come in as Granny Smith and Apple Bloom giggled a little bit upon seeing their gest wanting to eat. As they sat down, Apple Bloom was the first to speak. “Well? Go ahead! Eat up!” As she said that, Ryan nodded and looked at the food, but they were a little confused as they saw Ryan clap his hands together and closed his eyes and bowed his head. “Thank you for the food.” Right after he said that, all hell broke loose. A few hours later, the Apple family still couldn’t believe their eyes at how much food their guest was eating. So far, he had eaten 25 apple pies, 34 apple chips, 19 caramel apples, 23 cups of Apple cider, and 45 apple crisps, and yet, he was still eating. He then was finishing his 26th apple pie and 24th apple cider, which he did like, but he didn’t like the fact it tasted almost like alcohol, considering he didn’t really like beer or stuff like that, but he didn’t want to be rude, so he continued to drink. He was glad that alcohol didn’t affect him. He then set his plate down, satisfied from the food. “Ahhhh… That was delicious, Miss Granny Smith. I don’t think I have ever had that much apple food let alone be sooooo good~” he said as he patted his stomach. He was almost full, but he didn’t want to eat this family out of house and home as they are a farm owning family, meaning they need some of those apples to sell for money and pay for stuff. Therefore, he didn’t ask for more. The Apple family just stared at him. Big Mac just saw in awe and wonder how someone could eat that much and not gain any pounds while Apple Bloom was in both amazement and a food coma as she tried to see if she could beat the saiyan, but ultimately failed not even half way in as she was in her chair moaning and groaning. She would have a tough time sleeping and an even tougher time in the morning. Meanwhile, Granny Smith was happy. Not because she had to make more food, but because of the fact that someone like him was able to clear his plate and complimented her food. Lastly, AppleJack was both amazed and a little disgusted at the same time as she wasn’t particularly the one to judge how people eat due to being a farmer, but it did make her a little bit disgusted as he was acting like a wild animal eating food for the first time in years. After AppleJack was done being disgusted, she shook her head of her previous thoughts so she could talk to him. “So, Ryan, where are you from? I don’t think someone like you could live in Ponyville without being noticed. Trust us, we know,” she said as her and her family laughed and giggled a little bit, making Ryan a little confused as to why they were laughing, but shrugged as he guessed he would find out soon. Problem was, though, that he had to tell them where he lived. He was about to panic when he suddenly got a clever idea. “Well, I live in a city very, very far away that is not really on any map, but it’s there. I guess you could say it’s like a hidden city,” he said, hoping that would work, but because he had no knowledge of this world’s timeline, he didn’t know if it was safe to say he was from a city full of time traveling heros that go around keeping the timeline in the right way by fighting aliens, gods, and other weird stuff that makes no sense whatsoever. As he was thinking, the others had mixed reactions to his story. Apple Bloom was the one who’s most fascinated by it as she wondered what he meant by a city that was hidden. It could be like the Crystal Empire, but that was heard of and stuff. This place, however, was never heard of. So, that made it seem even more awesome to her. On the other hand, Applejack wasn’t amazed as she was giving him a stern look, like she was looking for something, which made Ryan start to worry a little bit, but he didn’t show it. “Is… is she trying to see if I’m lying? Why? Why would she all of a sudden try to see if I was lying? And why now?” he thought to himself as he looked at her too. After a while, however, she smiled at him. “That really sounds interesting. You should tell us more about it later,” she said as she continued to eat her food. He was confused and still wondering why she had just given him a stern look before going back to all happy and fun times like nothing happened? No, he could tell that something was up. No one (and that means one) would just give you a stern look for no reason. He could definitely tell that she didn’t believe his story, but there were two things he didn’t get. The first was that if she knew he was lying. He technically was telling the truth, just twisting it a little bit. Conton City really was a place that was far away and hidden. It just wasn’t on this planet. The other thing was why she was so interested in figuring out if he was telling the truth or not. He would understand that if it was him and he had a complete stranger come into his home, and it was someone he had never seen before. He too would be skeptical, but only a little bit, not straight up get on to the person’s case and try to find out if they are who they say they are. However, if there was a history with them and strangers coming around here, he could understand that. Besides, this is a new world and again, he doesn’t know this place's history. So, he guessed that he just needs to go along with it until he could get some backstory later. After dinner, everyone was happy and Ryan thanked Granny Smith for the food. As Apple Bloom and Big Mac were helping with the clean-up after dinner, Applejack was walking Ryan to his room. While they were walking, Ryan kept on seeing pictures all over the walls. “You have a lot of family pictures Applejack. This place is covered wall to wall with them,” he said in fascination as one photo caught his eye and he stopped to look at it. It was a picture of their family again, but this one had a man and a woman he had never seen before. The man was a tall one as he looked like he stays in shape, probably the effects of working on a farm. He had yellow fur along with a short hairstyle (which was a sort of cherry red color) and a cowboy hat that looked like Applejack. He was wearing a white cooler shirt and some old blue jeans that had a few holes in them from hard work at the farm. The other was a woman who was slightly shorter than the man. She was wearing a red undershirt, a blue jeans jacket that had red apples on the shoulders and a few pockets, and blue jeans that had two or three tears on it. Also, her hair was a dark shade of orange and it was very curly. She had a sort of white and tan-ish fur and she was holding a baby, who looked a little bit similar to Applejack. “These must be Applejack's parents. I wonder where they are. I haven’t seen or sensed anyone else here. Hmmm… Maybe- “ He was about to finish his thought when all of a sudden, he was pulled out of it by Applejack grabbing his arm and dragging him to where they were going. “Huh?” “Well, come on then, partner. We ain't gonna get to where you’re staying just standing there,” she said as she then let go of his arm. “O-oh, right, sorry. I was just lost in my thoughts,” he said as he continued to follow her, but he then took a quick glance at the picture before returning to look in front of himself. After some walking for a minute or two, he saw her stop at a door that looked really maintained. Applejack then turned to him and opened the door for him. “Here you are, home sweet home,” she said as Ryan then walked in and looked around the room. It was a fair-size room; not too big and not too small either, but pretty fair. It did have a window at the back of the room to let the night time light shine in. There also wasn’t much in the room, showing that it was just a guest room as there was only a medium sized bed pushed to the right corner of the wall with a side table to the left it. There was also a small lap on it to give more light in the room if needed, as well as a closet and a mirror on the other side of the. So, at least, he had some place he could put his clothes and stuff. Lastly, there was a small bookshelf next to the door and there were some books in it, meaning that it wasn't taking up much space. Applejack then tapped on his shoulder to get his attention, causing him to turn around to see her giving him some extra sheets for his bed. “There you go now. I hope you sleep well.” “Thank you, and I hope you do too,” After he said that, she left him and closed the door. He took a look around the room before walking over to the bed, setting the sheets on the side table, and laying down on the bed with his hands behind his head. He then looked up at the ceiling and started pondering what to do, since now had to think of a new plan. He could just leave right now. Go out the window, take flight, instant transmission to where he was, open a capsule for a good house to stay in, and wait for the time to come… though... that would hurt Apple Bloom’s feelings. She would be sad… and… disappointed… He let out a sigh, knowing that he couldn’t just leave right now. It would really hurt this nice family’s feelings. Great, now he was letting his emotions get in the way of his thinking. He then got out of bed and went to the window to look out and see what else he could do tomorrow to get in some training. However, he was also looking away from the farm to see that there was a town just past the gate of the farm and a road towards the said town, but the thing that really got his attention was the huge crystal castle in the middle of it. It was immensely beautiful as it had a purple and gold contrans going on and also what appeared to be a huge purple star at the top of it. Must be the symbol of the king and queen there. It looked especially beautiful with how the moon shined on it. Question was, though, that how could no one go blind when the sun would shine on it. It was made of crystal and crystals tended to reflect light more brightly then it needed to be. So, either these crystals didn’t reflect at all, they did but only a little bit, or this world was other bullshit and the laws of physics and nature were damned. Suddenly, his thoughts were interrupted by a small knock at the door. He was about to say something before the door opened anyway to show Apple Bloom walking in. “Note to self; privacy is nonexistent in this world. Be sure to lock the door next time,” he said in his head, making a mental note before turning to her. “Hey, Apple Bloom, what’s up?” he asked to see her walking up to him and looking out the window with him. “I wanted to see how you’re doing. You look like you have something on your mind,” she said while looking at him. Now, this was a real predicament. He could tell her why, but did he have to though? He didn’t know if she could keep his secret or even if it would even matter. This wasn’t technically his universe nor did he know jackshit about its timeline. He continued to think for a moment before answering her, “Nope, nothing is bothering me, kid. I’m just thinking about tomorrow is all. Don’t worry,” he said as he wasn’t going to tell her the truth. Well, not yet, at least. He preferred to give it some time before he did. “Oh! Okay, well, I’ll let you be,” she said before she started making her way out of the room. She then turned around to him and said, “Good night, Ryan.” “Good night, kid,” he replied as he saw her close the door. He then looked back at the town for a little bit more before letting out both a sigh and a small yawn, and going towards the door. He locked it and went to his bed to get some sleep. Somewhere deep in the Everfree Forest at night The dark figure was walking around while also stepping on the hundreds of branches of dead Timberwolves. As he looked to see the injured ursa major crying over its young that had been killed by the dark figure, all of a sudden, the ursa major's crying was silenced by the figure shooting a ki blast and blowing its head off. He then continued to walk past the corpses and eventually came up to a hill to see the small and familiar town with a castle in the middle of it: Ponyville. After looking at the town and seeing where his path was leading him to, the figure smiled evilly and let out a small chuckle. > Chapter 3: Never Fear! The Time Patroller Is Here! (Edited) > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- In the morning, Ryan was snoring peacefully in his sleep with most of him hanging off the side of his bed. After traling to this new world, doing his best to lower his power level could make him a little bit tired. Oh, and the huge amounts of food he had eaten last night made him really tired too. Now, he may look like he was sleeping, but he was actually training. See, a long time ago, a friend of his named Piccolo helped trained him to the point where even if he was sleeping, he was still able to train with his mind. It was a complex thing for Ryan to learn as it involved both meditating and sleeping, but in a few short hours, he managed to master it. He was making sure to stay on his game no matter what. In his dream, he was fighting an entire army of the old Frieza Force and taking care of them no problem, almost like they weren’t a good challenge for him. So, he decided to fight some “challenging” fighters as all of a sudden, the Ginyu Force, Zarbon, Dadorea, and Frieza himself in his golden form appeared in a puff of smoke. “Alright, now I can actually stop playing around and try,” Ryan said as he then flew his fist in the air and immediately brought them back down to his sides. His ki flew high, causing it to show itself by surrounding Ryan in a white flame that was both empowering and dancing around him. After he had just powered up, the entirety of the Frieza Force charged right at him. To a regular person, this would be an extremely bad situation, but not for Ryan as a big cocky smile appeared on his face and he started to fly in the air before immediately charging right back at his oncoming opponents, leaving a bight white streak behind him. In no time at all, he reached the advancing army and threw a punch at a Frieza soldier’s face that so strong, it made the soldier fly back towards the rest of the army, taking out almost fifty of them instantly. He then immediately turned around punched another soldier in the gut so hard, it made the poor soldier cough up spit and blood, as well as causing his armor to shatter. As soon as reality caught up with the soldier, he then started to fly back towards the rest of his comrades. One by one, entire groups of soldiers were being defeated by either getting dragged down with the ones that had already fallen or the poor unlucky ones that were punched by Ryan and had flown towards the rest of them. As one was hit, another fifty or so more went down with them. In less than a few minutes, all that was left was just the Ginyu Force, Zarbon, Dadorea, and Frieza. “Alright, now that’s over with…” Before Ryan could say another word, however, his ki then started to fly high again. The white flame that was already dancing around him also started to fly higher and dance even more, as well as changing its color from bright white to dark red. “LET’S GET SERIOUS!! KAIOKEN!!” In an instant, Ryan’s chest, arms, and leg muscles puffed out a little bit as he was now completely covered in a red glow. He then flew his fist to the side and started to fly towards the enemies in an extremely fast speed. He was about to throw a fist right into Captain Ginyu's face when all of a sudden, something caught his eye and he then looked to see someone standing at a far away distance. It wasn’t a Frieza Force soldier, not even any one he knew. In fact, that person looked like what Apple Bloom and the others were; a pony person. It had dark blue fur, a sparkling tail and main, and it also had… wings and a horn? Ryan was just about to question it more until he realized he was being distracted and immediately looked back to see that he had completely missed Ginyu. Instead, he was right in front of Zarbon and Zarbon already had a fist ready for Ryan’s face. Before it could make contact, however, it made Ryan so shocked that it forced him to wake up. In the real world, Applejack was just walking across the hall with Apple Bloom and when they were about to pass Ryan’s room, they heard him gasp loudly while properly waking up all of a sudden and the next minute, they heard him fall. Applejack quickly opened the door to check on him. “RYAN! ARE YOU OKAY?!” Applejack asked, but went from worried to confused and Applebloom looked in and she changed from worrying to about to laugh, as they saw that the upper half of Ryan’s body was off the bed and on the cold wooden floor while his legs were hanging upwards in the air. With a face of tiredness, along with a whisper of “Goddamn it”, Ryan just stayed where he was and answered without looking at them, “Peachy… and good morning.” As soon as he said that, both sisters started to laugh at him, with Apple Bloom being almost in tears. In not time at all, Ryan closed his eyes and chuckled at how embarrassing and funny this was. After they all calmed down and left Ryan to get dressed for the day, they went outside the house and began to wait for Big Mac and Granny to come out. Applejack also wanted Ryan and Applebloom to stay outside for a minute to let the cold wind wake them up a little bit. As they waited, Ryan started drinking some apple juice and as he looked past the field of apple trees, he saw that the sun wasn’t out yet. He then looked up to see the moon, but it wasn’t there. So, he then started to look around to see if he was looking in the right spot for the moon and Apple Bloom looked at Ryan turning all over the place with his head up in the air. “What are you doing?” she asked. “I’m looking for the moon, but I can’t see it anywhere,” he said as he looked behind himself. “You're looking for the moon? How hard did you hit your head, silly? You know that Princess Luna lowers the moon and Princess Celestina raises the sun around here, right?” she replied while smiling and looking over the mountains, waiting for that big balls of light come up Ryan was now even more confused. He doubled back to her, the sky, and back to the mountains as he thought, “So, wait, this planet has a gravitational field that makes the sun revolve around it? But, that can’t be right. As she just said, these Princesses lower and raise both the moon and the sun. It’s official, this world is pure bullshit.” Then, just as he was done with his thoughts, he saw a light coming up over the mountains. “And then, the rooster goes,” he said before, in the distance, a rooster started to sing right on time, signaling that it was morning. “And the morning has come,” he announced as he took a sip of his apple juice. Applejack then walked passed the two and as she did so, Ryan and Applebloom started to follow behind her before Ryan spoke up. “So, Applejack, what are we doing?” he asked, still drinking his juice. “Well, partner, since you're already here and also up for the morning, you’re going to be helping us on our apple farm,” she replied just as Ryan finished his drink and smiled at her. “Sounds like fun to me,” he declared as they were walking past the big white gate that had a dirt road leading into the apple tree farm. Luckily, there was a trash can nearby and so, he threw his drink in there and continued to follow her. In response to Ryan’s quick response, she smiled back and walked over to a tree before turning to face Apple Bloom and Ryan. She then looked at Applebloom first. “Apple Bloom, you already know the chores you need to do for today. Now, hop to it,” she said as Apple Bloom gave her a salute and ran off to do her chores. She then looked at Ryan and smiled. “And you mister ‘sounds like fun to me’ get to do the honors of bucking this tree here to start off our day of hard working,” she said while patting the tree behind her that had a whole bunch of apples on its branches and some baskets around its base. Ryan then looked at the tree and started to rub his hand on it. “So, all I gotta do is knock these apples down from this tree and into these baskets. Is that it?” he asked as he then stopped touching the tree and stepped back from it. Applejack then smiled once again and crossed her arms “Yep, that’s all you have to do,” she declared as she watched him smirking. Ryan then took a step back and closed his eyes. Almost a minute or two passed before he suddenly opened his eyes and punched the tree, but nothing happened. Applejack then laughed a little bit and said, “Hahaha! Don’t feel bad, Ryan. Everyone who comes here usually don’t get it on their-” Before she could finish her sentence, however, an apple fell from the tree he punched. Then, another one. And then, another from the tree behind the tree he had punched. Then, all of a sudden, the apples on the tree he had punched started to fall off and into the baskets while the ones in the other couple hundred trees all started to fall perfectly in the baskets as well. Applejack was just standing there in unter shock with her mouth wide open as she then found the ability to speak again and finish her sentence, “first… try…” She couldn’t believe what she was seeing. Just a punch, a tap, from this guy and all the trees had started raining apples into baskets. Ryan then turned around to look at Applejack, who was still in shock. “So, what do we do after the apples fall in the baskets?” he asked and all Applejack could do was pointing at the farm again. Ryan looked at where she was pointing at and said, “Got it,” before he grabbed the baskets around the tree and started to make his way back to the farm with the baskets full of apples. After Applejack was done being shocked, she shook her head and started to laugh a little bit as she then started picking up the rest of the baskets. “Haha! Looks like we’re going to have an easy day!” she exclaimed as she began to carry the baskets towards the barn. -A few minutes earlier- In the castle of Canterlot, Luna was sleeping peacefully. Well, she looked like she was sleeping, but actually, she was working. During the night, she would go into a place called the dream realm. No, not the one from Kingdom Hearts. This was a different dream realm. It was the place where Princess Luna had the ability to go into other people’s dreams. With it, she helped those who were having bad dreams, pushing those dreams in a good direction so that they could become good in the process. As she had just finished helping someone with a bad dream, she was now back in the bright endless blue void and she was just about to call it a day (or night) until she saw a door she had never seen before. It looked weird and by that, it didn’t look like a door, but rather a metal wall with a line going through the middle of it. She then started to walk over to it, but as she did so, she sensed this strong and unnerving power coming from it. Like, it wasn’t magic, but something else. “I wonder if this is the dream of what we sensed before,” she thought to herself as she reached out to the door thing when all of a sudden, the door split open and she was brought into the dream. When she opened her eyes, she looked around and all she saw was… nothing. Just a white endless void. She then started to look around confused, wondering why someone would just dream about nothingness. As she walked around, the sound of her shoes echoed across the void. She then saw something in the distance. Something huge. It looked like it was an entire army! She couldn’t believe what was happening. Why would someone dream of an entire army? She was just standing there confused when all of a sudden, something caught her eye. She looked on to see a strange figure in the distance wearing all orange. “That has to be whoever is having this dream or nightmare. I have to go help them,” she said in her mind. She was about to use her magic to help them when suddenly she saw the figure throw up its arms as a giant white light covered them and the power behind it made a shockwave, causing Luna to lose her footing and be sent flying a few feet away before she was able to readjust herself and touch the ground of the void again. She then looked up and her face changed to utter shock and terror as she saw that the figure had just finished off the army in that short amount of time, noticing the unconscious soldiers (or at least she hoped they were unconscious) on the ground below him. She then saw some more figures in the air, thinking that they were his main goal considering that they looked different from the ones on the ground. She then heard the vague echo of the voice of the figure in orange as it threw its arms up again. “Let’s get serious! Kaioken!” “Kaio- what?” She was confused as to what he had said, but she didn’t have time to think about that when the stallion was engulfed by a huge red light and created another shockwave that pushed her back again. This time, she was able to hold her ground (or as best as she could) before getting up to see the stallion start to fly at a speed that she was barely able to keep up with right towards the purple figure in order to attack. However, before he could do so, time seemed to slow down and she saw the stallion looking at her direction. Or was he looking at her? “W-wait, does he see me? But... how is he able to see me?” She didn’t have time to contemplate the rest of that thought as she saw that the stallion was about to get hit and then… she opened her eyes before immediately sitting upwards, panting and sweating like crazy. She then looked around to see that she was in her bed and the sun was just coming up to say good morning. She was out of the dream realm and back in the real world. That stallion must have woken up from pure shock. To be fair, any sane pony or creature would. She then immediately got out of her bed and quickly went to tell her sister aboıt what had just happened… right before she could get her favorite slippers on. -Back at the apple farm- After a few punches and some kicks, Ryan and Applejack had filled up the barn with boxes full of apples. They were standing right in front of the entrance of the barn looking at the hard work they had done. Well, for one of them, it wasn’t very hard work at all. As they looked at the barn, Ryan couldn’t help but feel satisfied with the work he had done with Applejack. Even though he hadn’t broken that much of a sweat, it was still satisfying to see a job well done. While they continued to look, Applejack took off her hat and wiped the sweat off her head. “Whew! Boy, that was some hard work, huh, Ryan?” she asked as she then started to fan herself with her hat. “Well, not much of a workout, but still some pretty good training” he said as she just slugged him in the shoulder for being cocky. Ryan just rubbed his shoulder, pretending that it hurt. At that moment, Apple Bloom ran over to them, covered in mud and panting hard. “Looks like someone is working hard,” Ryan said as he could see with his keen eyes a couple of bruises on her legs and arms, along with the fact that she’s covered in mud. Apple Bloom then nodded as she wiped the sweat off her head. “Yeah! I’m trying to work hard to become just like you!” she exclaimed as she then started to fight the air. Well, from Ryan’s point of view, it was a very poor attempt to recreate some karate moves while making sounds that went along with them. It just made him cringe a little bit while Applejack was laughing at her sister messing around. Ryan was about to say something when all of a sudden, something caught his attention. Upon looking behind himself, his eyes became extremely wide. “Hey, Applejack?” he asked as the calling of her name got her attention and she looked at him to answer, “Yeah? What’s up?” “Does this place usually have people screaming, houses burning, and the fact that it gets attacked?” he asked as he then got a serious face and Apple Bloom stopped what she was doing. While her and Applejack had confused expressions on their faces, they both looked at each other and then back at him before Applejack replied, “Ummm… No, I don’t think so. Well, not on a regular basis, but still no. Why?” she asked as both her and Apple Bloom got a little worried. “Oh, so that’s not normal?” he asked as he then pointed towards the town and as soon as he did, Apple Bloom and Applejack looked to see what he was pointing at. Both became scared and horrified to see the town of Ponyville on fire and smoke coming from it as a result of an explosion. Even though Applejack managed get out of her shock, Apple Bloom was still unable to do so. As she then got serious as well, she replied, “No, that’s not normal at all. PONYVILLE IS BEING ATTACKED!!” That was just what Ryan needed to hear as he then started to run towards the town with Applejack running with him, Apple Bloom then finally got out of her shock and saw her sister and Ryan running in the direction of the town. “H-Hey! Wait for me!” she yelled as she then started to run after them, but she didn’t get far before Applejack looked behind her, stopped in her tracks, and blocked her sister’s path. “Oh, no, you don’t. This is too dangerous for you to come along, sugarcube.” “What?! But, I wanna help-” “NO! I know you’ve been through worse, but this feels different. I want you to stay here,” she said as Ryan stopped to see Applejack wasn’t running with him. He then shouted, “Applejack, come on!” “Coming!” she shouted back before turning back to her sister. “I promise, we’ll be fine. Now, please stay here,” she said and then started running over to Ryan, who also started to run once again, heading for the town. Apple Bloom then looked at the town starting to run back to her home. -At the entrance of Ponyville- Ryan and Applejack had ran up just in time to see one of the buildings in the town get blown up. Ryan shielded Applejack to make sure she wouldn’t get hurt and when the explosion was over, he then looked around to find the cause of all this destruction. Applejack also began to looked around and then saw a shadow in a cloud of smoke coming from the building that had just been blown up. “Ryan! Up there!” she exclaimed as she then pointed toward the shadow. Ryan then looked up and saw the shadow in the smoke before looking closer at it to see the shadow starting to take a form. A form that Ryan knew all too well. He went wide-eyed as he continued to watch the smoke die down and then saw the person he was all too familiar with. “No. It can’t be,” he managed to utter as he continued to watch the figure fully come out of the smoke. It was wearing an evil smile, and had a huge purple and black ki dancing around them with eyes glowing red. “Turles?” > Chapter 4: The Saiyan Threat > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Seeing him floating there Ryan was both confused but also shocked to see Turles just floating there. He didn’t understand it, Turles should be dead but then again this feeling and the ki he was getting from his was one all too familiar to him, this was Towa’s magic at hand. He knew Towa’s magic was going to show up sooner or later but the power he was feeling from Turles compared to the last time he saw him was a big difference. Last time he faced him in his normal form but now he might have to take it up a notch. However for someone else besides Ryan that was ready to fight, the farmer was shocked and terrified and pissed at seeing the figure floating there and seeing what it had done to her home and possibly her friends, Applejack looked at the figure seeing the person standing there, they weren’t a pony due to the lack of fur and they also had big black spiky hair just like Ryan’s, she also saw that they were just like Ryan but this guy had some sort of brown skin and they had a monkey tail! And it looked like he was wearing some kind of armor as there were some strange things about it as it looked like no armor she’s seen before.  The man was wearing a big chest plate that was big and had a dark blue and black color going on. It also had shoulder pads that were pointed at the ends and along with some gloves that were dark blue and white that wrapped around his thumb and across his hand and they went all the way up to his elbows and were also pointed at the end. The man also had big boots that were like Ryans but were the same color as his armor and their tail wrapping around their waist. Another thing that caught her eye was that he also had the same thing Ryan had on his head but the one this guy had was red.   All the sudden the man then saw Applejack and smiled as he lifted up a hand at them and what surprised her even more was that all the sudden a big purple ball formed in his hand. ”W-what the?! First this guy is flying with no wings and now he’s using magic!?” she thought to herself as she slowly started to back away from him. Turles was just about to blast her into nothing but dust when all the sudden Applejack saw Ryan immediately just appeared right next to the men and literally bitched slapped him in the face sending him into an already destroyed building just in time to save Applejack. Applejack was immediately shocked more by what Ryan just did as that though a whole butch more questions she had, she then saw Ryan vanished inn thin air when all the sudden he appeared next to her as he then grabbed her and already they were in a different location as she then looked around to see they were behind a broken buildings wall. “W-What the? H-how in Appleloses did we get here, a-and how did you do that and-“ she wasn’t able to continue when Ryan then put his hand over her mouth to stop her from talking. “I’ll answer questions later, right now we have bigger problems to deal with” he said as right on cue the building Ryan sent Turles into immediately exploded to reveal Turles flying in the air looking around for Ryan and Applejack. Ryan then peeked over the corner to see where Turles was, “listen, I’m going to distract him while you go help anyone who is in danger” he said as Turles blasted a building that was right across from them. “Wait what?! No way, partner! You can’t just face that monster all on your own! I’m going to help you!” she said as she was determined to help. “You can help me by making sure no ones hurt,” he said as Turles then destroyed a building that was right next to them as Applejack and Ryan then covered their eyes from the debrey and smoke. Ryan saw that they didn’t have time to discuss this anymore as he then turned to Applejack as he then gave her a thumbs up, “Don’t worry I can handle him” he said as he then jumped up in the air as he then started to fly upwards in the air surprising Applejack even more. “H-HEY! GET BACK HERE!” She said as she then had to take cover again from a blast by Turles. Ryan flew over to Turles and he opened his hand and formed a bright ball of yellow energy in his hand and threw it at Turles hitting him dead in the face getting his attention. It didn’t hurt him but it did leave a mark on his face as it was bleeding a little bit, Turles then turned his head to face Ryan, “Good I got his attention, what the hell was step two?” he said to himself as his white aura surrounded him and danced like white flames, he then immediately started to fly off in a direction away from the town as Turles let out a prime rower as his eyes glowed a dark red as he was also surrounded by a aora of his own but his was a dark purple and black and it was dancing  around his body crazily and then started to give chases after Ryan. As Ryan was flying at high speeds he saw that he was now in a wasteland, ”Huh, might have gone a little bit further than I needed to but this works” he said in his head as he then looked behind him to see if Turles was right behind him to see he wasn’t, ”Where did he-“ he then was immediately brought out of his thoughts when he was kicked in his side sending him straight into the ground hard and fast making a huge crater in the ground.  And almost immediately Turles then charged up a ki blast as he then set it into the crater making a huge explosion that was so big it could almost be seen miles away. As the dust settled and the smoke cleared up Turles saw that there was no one in the crater as it was just dust and broken rock but no Ryan, thinking he already won to only to be punched across the face by Ryan as he then grab Turles by the leg before he could be sent flying as he then started to spend him around in a circle motion as he then let go sending him into a nearby rock formation as that said rock formation then started to crumble down on top of Turles leaving a giant pile of rocks apon rocks completely burying him. “You're going to have to try harder than that Turles if you want to bring me down!” He yelled as he then brought both hands to his side as bright yellow orbs formed in his hand as he put his arms in front of him and putting his hands together holding them sideways as he then started to fire multiple ki blast at the pile of rocks as there was huge explosions and a huge dust cloud started to get bigger and bigger as he was not letting up on the assault. As he continued his assault the dust cloud was getting bigger and bigger as he continued to rain hell down upon him. After a few minutes later he then stopped firing ki blast as the last blast made a huge explosion that made the dust cloud shoot up into the sky completely covering the area, as Ryan had to shielded his eyes to stop any dust to get in his eyes as he then looked to see nothing but dust all around him. Almost immediately Turles flew out of the dust cloud that was right in front of him as time seemed to slow down as Turles was flying towards him with a fist railing back, as soon as Ryan saw that he then brought his one of his arms in front of his face as time resume for Turles to bring his fist into Ryans arm and set him flying across the sky.  With that first punch that sent him flying Turles immediately gave chase after him and was already in front of Ryan only to bring a barrage of punches and kicks to Ryan as he was forcing Ryan to go on the defensive. As Turles brought down upon him the many kicks and punches, he was able to block or dodge them all he was being forced backwards in the sky at high speeds only for Turles to try and hit Ryan with a back spin kick, efeis on the word TRY as Ryan was able to dogged it by leaning backwards to see Turles’s leg go right over him. As Turles saw that he missed he then tried to punch him when Ryan blocked his fist with his feet and used that opportunity to lunch himself back to the ground as that also made Turles fly backwards a little bit in the sky witch just pissed him off more and then flared up his ki and flew down at Ryan. Ryan in the meantime then started to do back spins while in a cannonball position and as soon as the ground got to close for comfort, Ryan then stopped spinning and put his arms and hands out to catch himself on the ground and to push himself up in the air backwards only to see Turles to fly in and punch the ground to completely crack it and brake as rocks flew up in the air as Ryan then started to do back flips fast to get some distance away from Turles. After Turles saw that he missed he then took his fist out of the ground and flew forward at Ryan as Ryan then started to hop backwards away from Turles still keeping a good distance away from him, and when Turles did get close to him He would either block or dodge the punches and kicks like he was toying with him. When Turles then tried to hit him with a kick Ryan jumped over his attack and without giving Turles a chance to recover he then reeled his right leg back and swung it forwards into Turles’s chin sending him flying a few meters away from him and leaving a big bruise mark under his chin. “Come Turles, I kicked your ass before and I can sure as hell do it again” as he said that he then took to the sky’s flying at high speeds with Turles doing the same with rage in his eyes to murder Ryan. As they came into the sky passing some clouds Ryan then turned around just in time to see Turles about to hit him as Ryan then realed his fist back too and they both cast their punches at each other and when they collided it made a huge shockwave. Ponyville: After Ryan and Turles left As Applejack got up from her hiding place she saw two bright lights, one white and the other purple disappear in the distance, seeing that even if she tried to go help him there was no way she could keep up with him. So she might as well just let him do it alone, plus he did have a point that she needed to help those who are hurt and immediately started to look around.  “HELLO!? IS ANYPONY HURT?!” She asked as she then heard somepony groaning as she then started to follow the sounds seeing a familiar rainbow color main poking out under some rubble, “RD!!” She then started to get the dabre off of her and when she was able to, she then grabbed her friend's hand and pulled her out and laid her down on the ground. “RD! PLEASE TELL ME YOUR OKAY!” She said as she saw her friend was covered in some cuts and bruises nothing to major, but she did see that her wing was dislocated a little bit as some blood was around her body as she saw a big stream of blood running down her head.  Worried for her friend, she picked her up in her arms bridal style and immediately started to run to the hospital. As she did she looked at her friend in her arms, “Please be okay” as she said that she quickened her pace. Cloudsdale: 10,000 feet in the air In the beautiful city of Cloudsdale a place in the sky literally made out of clouds as there were houses, shops, hotels, and even an arena. It was really a place of beauty and wonders as many other pegasus ponies were either flying around in the sky or walking on the cloudy ground going to and from places and having a normal day.  In the middle of this street two pony's were walking around the city, the first one was a male pony as he had a bright white fur coat and had a violet mean and tail that had a hit of silver in both of them. He had eyes that were a dark navy blue, he was wearing a violet scarf wrapped around his neck and down the back of his neck, he had a bright blue and white jacket with the zipper open revealing a gray like shirt with some lose blue jeans and also wearing some grayish white shoes, along with on the back of the jacket having two holes for his wings to go through and resting on his back saying he was a pegasus. On the left side of his pants was a mark that had a snowflake on it with two white wings on the side of the snowflake. Next to him was a female pegasus that was cyan blue and had silver white mane and tail as she was wearing a red and black dress as she was also wearing a jacket along with some shorts as the jacket was red and the shorts were black as she had some black heel shoes. Her eyes were a dark navy blue as she was wearing some blue lipstick as her dress was hiding her tail as there were two holes in the back of her dress for her wings too as they were resting on her back too. They were just having a wonderful day as they just got off of their jobs as they were having a wonderful day to enjoy their day, that is until a giant hole was made in the middle of the street making them fall to the ground and fell do to the hole being made as the same thing happened with some others that were walking around falling to the ground too while some ran away or flew away screaming in fear. Those who were still around the hole looked up to see a figure flying upwards as another fast speed figure flew through the hole and up to the figure and immediately there were shockwaves when the two met and everyone that was watching started to panic and started to run or fly away not knowing what was going but didn’t want to stay to find out. The two that were walking were about to start running when all the sudden a purple blast came from one of the figures in the sky and landed right in front of them as it then exploded. When it did it set them flying backwards while the guy skid across the ground the girl then went into the hole as the blast hurt her a little bit but also knocked her out. The man then saw this and tried to go after her but he then wrists in pain as he looked to his side to see his wing was burnt a little bit not able to let him  fly. He then panicked as he ran to the edge of the hold seeing the girl falling to her death, “NOOOOOO!!” he screamed out as he thought that this was it.  That is until one of the figures flew fast downward into the hole and was right at the girl, the figure then flew upwards fast and came through the hole again as he then landed in front of the guy at the edge of the hole. After getting a good look the guy saw that they were a person but he never seen them before, as he looked at him had had orange clothes as they were also had to guess they were a guy too do to their body, the guy then set the female next to him as he looked at the male pony, “Get out of here now, find shelter, find a doctor and go!” the man in orange said as he then jumped up in place and a bright white aura appeared around him as he then flew off into the sky followed by a purple one, guessing it was the other figure and they both flew off. The male looked at the girl as he then held her close as he then picked her up and started to run off to try and find a doctor for her running at full speed. In the sky: a few minutes before Ryan was flying away from Trules trying to get a good ways away from him to try something but he needed to lose him to do it. He then looked back ready to block another attack, that is until he saw a ki blast heading straight at him as he didn’t have time to react fast enough as it hit him dead on making a huge exploeshion in the sky sending Ryan flying higher in the air and sending him flying through a cloud. As he flew higher in the air he then stopped himself as he looked he saw he just flew through the ground of a city in the sky. Before he could question it he saw Turles flying right at him as he then had to go on the defiance again and started to block all attack's as he felt his power shoot higher than before. ”Damnit he’s getting stronger as he continues to fight me, I need to end this quickly”[i/] he thought to himself as he then saw Turles charging a ki blast, he then quickly swated his hand away before he could blast him and insted he fired at the city below, “Damnit, I need to finish this now before we run into another place full of incant people er ponys” He said to himself as he saw a pony falling down to the earth because of the blast, he then quickly punched Turles hard in his cheek and kneed him hard in the gut and finished with a spin kick to his face, sending him backwards across the sky. He then immediately flared up his ki as his aura grew bigger and he made a divebomb to the falling pony, he was able to reach her just in a few seconds as he then wrapped his arms around her and flew back up to the city as he flew back up through the huge hole in the middle of the city. He then flew though it as he then landed next to another pony that was standing next to the hole, Ryan then set the pony in his hands next to the pony in front of him as he then looked at the pony in front of him. “Get out of here now, find shelter, find a doctor and go!” he said to the pony before he then flew up high above the city as he then looked and saw Turles already recovered from that attack he gave him as he then flew away from the city fast. As he was flying away from the ctiy he then saw behind him a bright light as he then dogged ot as it was a ki blast, he then looked behind him to see more ki blast being throw at him. He then flew faster to dodge them all as he decided to end this before anything will get hurt or worse, he then stopped in his tracks and flew at extreme speeds to pass the clouds.  After seeing Ryan go up in the skys higher he then followed suit, after he was above the clouds he then looked around to see that Ryan was nowhere to be seen until he then heard his voice, “KAAAA…...MAAAA!” after hearing where his voice was coming from Turles immediately turned around to see Ryan that was hiding behind the clouds, he saw he was cupping his hands and hold them behind him and in between his hands there was a bright blue ball that was growing bigger and bigger by the secound, “HAAA…..MAAAA!” Turles then powered up a ki blast and fired at Ryan but before the blast could hit Ryan he then all the sudden vanished from sight, that is until from the corner of his eye Turles then turn his head to look to see Ryan right next to him giving him no space to move out of the way. In a last ditch effort Turles was about to throw a fist at Ryan but it was too late, Ryan then trusted his hands forward at Trules, “HAAAAAAAA!!!” when he did, he unleashed a huge blue ki wave at his enemy with a mighty roar as the blast completely engulphed him as the blast went strate in the air high in the sky, in the blast Turles was traveling with the blast inside it as his body started to break down and be completely destroyed by the attack that there was nothing left of him. After a few minutes later the blast started to die down and then gone, what was left was Ryan still holding his hands in the same position as he was panting a little bit, not going to lie the kamehameha wave does take a little bit out of him. He then let his arms fall to his side after seeing he turned the villain from his past to nothing but ash, as he saw the threat was gone he then quickly flew back to ponyville and wasted no time as he was there in a minute and landed in the middle of the town seeing more peop- err ponies as some of them helping one another and repairing the damage. He then started to look around the town as some saw him and almost got more scared thinking he was either like Turles or was Turles. ”The hell is with everyone here? They look like they're all scared of me, do they think I did this? I don’t even look like Turles, if I was Goku I would understand that but come on” He said to himself in his mind as they all started to run away from him. ”Great, now they are scared of me….. fantastic” “RYAAAAANNNN!!!” Hearing his name being called he turned his head to see Applebloom running towards him at full speed like her life depends on it. After a few seconds later she finally reached him she stopped in front of him panting like crazy trying to catch her breath. “R-Ry- oh celestia *pant* *pant* R-Ryan i-it’s *pant* A-Applejack s-shes *pant* at the hospital!” She said in-between her breaths while yelling the last part before going back to catching her breath. Hearing that from Applebloom Ryan immediately went wide eyed hearing what she just said. “WHAT! What happened?! Is she okay?!” He asked as he was worried about what happened to his friend. After getting some of her breath Applebloom was able to talk a little bit again “*pant* I-I d-don’t know *pant* all I know was th-that *pant* she was at the hospital and *pant* that's all I heard!” she panted out, almost losing her breath again. Hearing that he needed to know what happened to his friend, he then focused on where Applejacks ki was, and when he found her he then grabbed Applebloom and started to carry her on his back “Hang on, super speed!” He then started to run very fast leaving a cloud of dust in his tracks running down a dirt road leading to the hospital as he saw the building in his view. As he was running Applebloom was holding onto his gi for dear life from him running this fast “G-GAHHHHHH!! R-RYYYYYAANNNNN!!! S-SLOWWW DOWN!” she begged as he continued to run to the hospital. After a while Ryan finally got to the hospital as he then skidded to a halt at the front door of the hospital. After he stopped he then set Applebloom down on the ground again as he then opened the door “Come on Applebloom! We need to see if Applejack is okay!” he said to a dizzy Applebloom trying to stay on her hooves. “R-Right ch-check on my sis” She said as she almost fell on the ground but was able to stop herself from falling as she shook her head to see straight again, after she did she ran inside with Ryan running in with her to find Applejack with Ryan thinking to himself. “Come on Applejack please be okay” > Chapter 5: Not Your Enemy > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Far away in the high mountains the capital city of canterlot, a place where most of all of Equestrias population is in canterlot as it is were the rich live and most of all the Princesses, Celestia and Luna, live too as they have their castle on the side of the mountain it is on looking over all of Equestria. Inside were the two rulers in the dining hall with six others sitting with them; Fluttershy, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Starlight, Spike, and Princess Celestias student Twilight. As they were talking and enjoying a nice relaxing afternoon Pinkie was all the sudden started to shake like crazy as it looked like she was having a seizure, her body looking like it was constantly changing size and shape as she even started to jump out of her chair and literally started to bounce up and down the walls and ceiling.  After all that she then landed on her chair again being all dizzy, “WHOA! That was one big dozey!” Rarity then looked at her friend a little concerned “Pinkie dear, are you okay? What was that about?”  “I don’t know, usually whenever I get dozeys I can usually tell what was going to happen but this…nope! Not a clue” Hearing that the drake then immediately got under the table taking cover, “what is it?! Something falling from the sky! O-or aliens invading Equestria?!” He said as he was almost hyperventilating, scared as to what it was. “Spike calm down, one: there is no such thing as aliens,” said the Princess of Friendship not believing in such things, “and two: I’m sure whatever it is we can handle it” hearing their friend say that all of the other girls and even Princesses nodding seeing that they can handle anything.  Celestia then was about to take a sip of her afternoon tea when both her and Luna felt a very strong power come out of nowhere making Luna almost fall out of her chair and Celestia drop her cup as it fell to the floor breaking and shattering into peace's. Hearing the cup break it made everypony there look at their rulers to see them looking out the window as they were all confused. Before they could ask them what’s wrong Celestia was the one to break the silence, “Luna, did you feel that?” “Indeed sister, tis the same thing we’ve felt last night before it disappeared” she said as she remembered the feeling of the power but it felt a little weak like it was still hiding but slowly showing itself, whatever it is. All the friends around the table would look at each other a little worried at what could trouble their princesses before Starlight then cleared her throat, “Umm excuse me Princesses but umm what’s going on? Is everything okay?” she asked, still a little worried as to why they were looking out the window. After a second or two the two Princesses looked at each other then looking at their friends as Luna spoke up, “You all didn’t know this, but last night, we and our sister felt a very strong and very powerful feeling coming from the Everfree forest that was near Ponyville” hearing that they all let out a gasp and looked at each other before Twilight spoke up, “Do you know what it was Princesses?” They then looked down and shook their heads as they looked up and Celestia spoke up again, “We do not Twilight, before we could find out what it was it disappeared and we couldn’t sense it again” “Disappeared? You mean it vanished?” asked the shy Fluttershy in a quiet voice and with some concern in her voice afraid that there was something powerful in their hometown as she was worried for their friends in Ponyville. “Not so much as disappeared dear Fluttershy but more of, it hid itself” Luna answered as Twilight raised an eyebrow at that. “Hide itself? How is that possible? Nothing can just disappear like that” she said as she was confused as to how something just shows up and disappears. “Not so much as disappear my faithful student, it hid itself from us so we couldn’t detect it” Celestia answered, but before she could say any more the doors of the dining room were swung open as a guard ran in over to the Princesses and immediately took a knee to them, panting after they have ran as fast as they could to get here. “Y-Your highnesses! I-It’s Ponyville! It’s been attacked!” the guard said inbetween breathes, at that everypony gasped as they looked at each other before Twilight got up and walked over to the guard. “Was anypony hurt during the attack?” she asked as she was worried for her home and all her friends. The guard shook their head to her question, “No your highness, but not that we know of right now. But there is something more important”  “What is it?” Celestia asked as she was still worried for her subjects. “The thing that caused the attack, it’s unlike anything we’ve seen” Ponyviel Hospital: In one of the rooms In one of the rooms of the Ponyville Hospital Applejack was sitting in a chair next to a hospital bed that had a pony in it, the pony had bandages all around their chest area, around one of their legs, and some wrapping around their head.  The pony in the bed was Applejack's best friend as they were female and they had blue fur and a pair of wings that also had bandages around them as both their hair and main were rainbow color as it looked like the inside of a bag of skittles. While sitting down Applejack was just looking at her friend still worried for her friend as the only thing that was being heard through the room was the beeping of the heart monitor echoing through the room as Applejack was left with her thoughts. “WHAT DO YOU MEAN I CAN’T SEE HER!?” She then was brought out of her thoughts as she heard someone yelling outside of the room, maybe a pony who has a family member here or a friend and they can’t see them for some reason. But something about that voice sounded familiar to her for some reason. “WHERE IS SHE?! SHE’S MY FRIEND AND HER SISTER! WE HAVE TO KNOW IF SHE'S OKAY!” She then immediately sat up as she remembered who that voice belong to. She then turned to her friend and hold her hand softly, “I’ll be right back RD” as she said that she then let go of her hand and got up out of her chair and left the room and into the hallway. When Applejack left the room and closed the door a dark portal open up as a being stepped through and looked around before laying eyes on the pony girl in the hospital bed. “Well, well. It looks like you were able to survive that attack,” the figure said before it made its way to the window in the room and looked out to see that the little village was still, kind of, intact. Seeing that it was it made the figure frown at this. “So it looks like this was a failed experiment, this place is still standing, your still alive, and what’s worse. Is that now there is a pesky Time Patroller here! This just throws a hold bunch of monkey wrenches into my plans!” With that it sighed before smiling and turning back to the still open dark portal and started to walk back to it, “Oh well, this just means I need to try a little bit harder. And hey! Plus the fun for trying to destroy a Time Patroller and a world all in one! Haha! Oh this will be fun” it said before it reached the portal. And just when it was about to leave it then turned to the pony on the bed again and smiling, “Hmm considering that you not only saved the day but saved the pony I was trying to get rid of” it said as it raised it’s hand to the blue pony and for a quick moment she glowed brightly before the glow disappeared, “and because of that I’ll give you a little prize but don’t expect me to do it again haha” with that the figure then left through the portal and it then disappeared. In the waiting area of Ponyville Hospital When Applejack left her friends room she would follow the yelling of her new friend before finding herself in the waiting room, only to find Ryan yelling at the nurse behind the table as it looked like he was going to kill the poor gal as she saw her sister pulling on Ryan's baggy pants to try her best to hold him back but was failing.  Before he could kill the poor gal Applejack walked over to him and hold him back while putting a hand on his shoulder, “Whoa there sugarcube! No need to rip the poor nurses head off” Feeling someone pull him away he then would see Applejack and his anger quickly went away and replaced with happiness. “Applejack! You're okay!” “Of course I am sugarcube, why wouldn’t I be?” “Well when I came back I found Applebloom running over to me saying you were in the hospital and I thought the worse so I quickly came this way” Hearing the concern from her friend she just giggled a little bit before patting his shoulder, “Don’t yah worry sugarcube I’m not hurt, I just found my friend hurt and I brought her here to help her” Hearing that Applebloom came over to her sister and looked at her, “who was it? Are they okay?” “It was RD, and she’s fine now but when I found her oooooh boy! Did she not look to hot” Hearing that name Ryan would just tilt his head a little being confused as to who they were talking about. “Umm RD?” Hearing the confusion in his voice and seeing the look on his face she just smiled “hehe RD is short for Rainbow Dash, she’s a good friend of mine for a long time” “Ooooooh okay, sorry I was a little confused” “Heh it’s okay sugarcube” As they were talking Applebloom then took off the thing on her face and walked over to Ryan and gave it back to him.  “Here! I made sure to not let it break” Seeing his scouter in her hands he then smiled as he took it back, “Thanks Applebloom, I really love this thing so I appreciate you not letting it break” after he said that he then put it on his face as he then made sure it worked. But before he was able to it showed it went off as the loud beeping noise caught both the Apple sisters' attention as they were confused by it, “What in tarnation is going on? Why is your little uh thingamajig beeping?” They would also see he put on a serious face before turning to look behind him to look out the door, “I think that we’re about to have some company” Applebloom would be a little confused as Applejack would be worried, “Is it that thing again?” “No this is different” he then looked back at them over his shoulder to look at the girls, “Stay here, I’ll be back” after that he then looked back at the doors and walked out of the building. When he did he would see a shadow approaching to where he was, he looked up to see some sort of carriage thing and when he looked up at it his scouter again went off reading a few small but also a few high power levels. He then saw the carriage descending and landed in front of him as he was able to see that it was being pulled by two pony soldiers that had wings and they had white fur too, it even looked like they were twins or something with how so similar they looked alike.  He then made the conclusion that they were soldiers with the armor they were wearing that looked like it was pure gold on them, having chest plates, helmets the whole thing, they looked like they were another form of Roman Soldiers.  After he was done looking at them he saw the carriage open to let out a lot of ponies that looked like they were all female out of it as he could see so many different color ponies he thought he was having a seesher just by looking at the rainbow of colors in front of him. The first that would catch his eye was a bright butter yellow one that was quite kind looking with a light pink main and tail behind her as some of her hair was hiding half of her face, but he was still able to see her blue eyes as anything she looked like she was a shy one. He saw she was wearing a white tracksuit and white track pants and on her shoulders were pictures of blue butterflies with pink wings. Speaking of wings she had a pair of her own wings that were the same color as her fur sticking out behind her. As soon as she saw him looking at her she let out a small little cute “eep” and hid behind one of the other ponies. That being said that made his attention go from her to the one she was hiding behind, this one had bright white fur as he saw she had light purple main that had white strips in it a little bit as it was also curled and neatly made and she had bright blue eyes too with wearing a little dress that looked fancy and on the sides of the dress had blue gemstones and not only on it but there was one that looked like it was a sowed drawing of three blue gems. She didn’t have any wings but instead one he never seen yet as she had a white horn on the top of her head poking through her hair. Next in line was a- “HIYA!” Ryan had to blink a second before he could register a bright pair of blue eyes were in his face as his brain registered what was going on, “Gah!” he then quickly backed up as he saw in front of him a pink one with a bright light blue top and a white skirt around her waist as it had balloons all around the skirt along with some glitter….lots of glitter. He even saw her main and tail were dark pink and looked like it was some cotton candy hair with how curly and puffy it was as not to mention the bright happy smile that he didn’t think was possible, he also saw she was just like Applejack, she didn’t have any wings or any horns on her head at all. “Opps! Sorry! I was trying to surprise you! But I think I scared you instead! My bad!” she said as before Ryan had time to process what happened or even ask she immediately closed the distance between him and her in seconds. “W-What the-“ he wasn’t able to finish his sentence before she took his hand and started to give him a very VERY fast handshake almost making Ryan fall over on his face due to how fast she was shaking his hand. “Hi!I’mPinkamenaDianePieorPinkypie!Witcheveryoulike!Areyounewhere?I’veneverseenyouaroundherebeforeactuallyIdon’tknowwhoyouareorwhatyouare!Areyouanalien?Doyoulikeparty’s?Iloveparty’s!Ilovealotofthingslikepink!Doyoulikepink?What’syourfavoritecolor?Wereyoutheonewhodestroyedmyhome?Where’smyfriendand-“ she then was cut off by a purple hand covering her mouth as the still surprised Sayian trying to process what the hell just happened he then turned to see a purple mare wearing a purple dress with dark purple shorts and on the chest of her dress was a purple star. He then saw her mane was dark purple with a light purple going through the middle of her hair and tail as she had dark purple eyes. What he also saw was that not only did she have wings but a horn too! He then saw her glare at him before pulling the pink one away, who was still trying to talk even though her mouth was still covered. He then looked at the rest of them, he then saw a bright pink and purplish one that had bright teal eyes purple and teal mane and tail as she also had a horn too, she was wearing something that was pretty similar to the purple one but it was bright light blue dress with white pants as on said white pants was a purple star with blue dust around it. As he was looking at her he would notice something behind her as he was able to see it was some sort of a dragon, he saw that it looked like he was wearing a black and green jacket with black pants and green flames on them, he could see that he was a purple color dragon and he had bright green skales on his head and on the sides of his cheeks. He then looked at the last two as one of them was a dark blue fur with a long black and blue dress as she had bright blue eyes as he saw that she also had both wings and a horn that looked longer then the others, he even saw a moon on the side of her where her thigh is, as she had a mane and tail unlike he’s seen before as it looked like the starry night and her hair and tail were flowing in an nonexistent air. He then looked at the last one that looked like the tallest out of all of them, as she had white fur with the same type of eyes as the blue one, she had a bright white and gold dress that was very similar to the blue ones dress as she had a symbol on the thigh of her dress that had a picture of the sun, and just like the blue one she had both wings and a horn and her mane, witch had a lot of colors in it but the ones that showed was bright teal and bright pink in it. One other thing he noticed about her and the blue one that stood out was not their huge breasts but he saw a look he knew all too familiar with….they looked really pissed. After he saw what was in front of him he then tried to start a conversation as he waved at them a little but still had the same serious look on him, “Hey there” just him speaking made all of them, side the blue and white one still looking at him pissed, all surprised that he spoke to them.  Seeing that he lowered his hand as he looked at them, “Umm can I help you?” He asked hoping to know what was going on. His answer came as the blue one stepped forward and looked at him more pissed then ever, “Yes you can, you MONSTER!!” With that her horn glowed a bright blue unlike any light he’s seen before. ”Monster? Wait does she think I did this to the village and- oh fuck I think she’s about to blast me….OH. FUCK! SHE’S ABOUT TO BLAST ME!!” he thought to himself as he saw her hands glow too and shot a huge blast at him! He then quickly crossed his arms together and held them in front of him to block it. When it made contact it made a huge explosion making the ground shake around like crazy before a few minutes later it stopped as everyone there saw the huge dust cloud around them. The white one turned to face the blue one as she was very angry, “LUNA! What were you thinking!” Hearing her name she turned to look up at the white one confused, “What? I had to do what I need to do to protect our subjects” “By almost destroying the hospital that’s in front of us FULL of our subjects!” she yelled to her as the blue one, named Luna, then started to think about it as she then realized her mistake, “I’m sorry sister I didn’t-“ “Okay lady what the fuck?” Hearing a voice coming from where Luna blasted to see a figure starting to show as everyone stared in disbelief as Luna was the one to break the silence, “Th-That’s not possible”  After the dust cleared it showed Ryan standing there still with barely any scratches on him as the hospital was still standing too, he then put his arms down to the side and looked at the blue one again, “I just got out of a fight not even, like, eleven minutes ago so I’m going to need to rest a little-“ before he was able to finish his sentence he saw a blast coming at him again and before it could hit him he then jumped out of the way as it hit were he was standing as he was off to the side now. “Never mind then we’re back in business!” Ryan then got in a fighting stance as he got ready to fight the blue pony lady. Seeing she missed she turned to him and was ready to blast him again. “I will protect my subjects, you monster!” > Chapter 6: Hero Vs. Princess > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It was a beautiful day in Ponyville, the sun was shining, the flowers were blooming, the birds were singing. Nothing like a beautiful day today……except the fact there was a huge explosion near the hospital as at the front of the building the two rulers and the main six-plus starlight, oh and spike too. The moon Princesses was charging her horn as she had her hands glowing in a dark blue aura as she was giving the person in orange a death glare, “it seems you are more resilient than we thought, but that won’t stop us from destroying you monster!” She yelled as she then formed a small blue orb in her hand and threw it at the man. As the orb was heading for Ryan he quickly used rapid movement to disappear from sight to dodge the orb only to reappear five feet away from the spot where he was standing, he skidded to a halt as he saw the orb hit the spot he was standing making a big explosion causing a huge dust cloud to appear as Ryan used his arm to shielded his eyes from getting dust in his eyes. He then looked over to where the person he was being attacked by, “Hey! Will you cool your jets already! I like to fight as much as the next person but can we do this somewhere else? There’s too many innocent poep- I mean pony’s, man that’s weird to say, anyways there’s too many innocents around. Along with the fact we are in front of a hospital!” He said as he was really pissed that someone would fire ki blast so close to a building full of injured peop- er pony’s fuck this is confusing! However, to the others, they all had mixed reactions to what he said, especially Princess Celestia. Why would a monster that was attacking ponyville all the sudden care about the innocent now? However, her thoughts were interrupted by her sister firing another magic orb at him, this one they saw him duck down to avoid it. “MONSTER!! DO YOU TAKE US FOR A FOOL?! YOU DESTROYED OUR SUBJECTS TOWN HURTING SO MANY AND YOU EXPECT US TO BELIEVE YOU CARE ABOUT THE INNOCENT NOW!?!” She yelled in the royal canterlot voice making him cover his ears for a moment hearing her yell. To Ryan, he was surprised that someone could rival Majin Buu in yelling so loud, “GAAAH!! Damint lady! Didn’t your mother ever teach you how to use your inside voice?! Fuck I think my eardrums broke” he said as he then started to pick his ears to see if they were bleeding or not from the lady toughing a hissy fit. The moon Princesse was now furious! First, this monster destroys her subject’s town, and now he’s insulting her! She had enough of this as she started to charge up two magic orbs in her hands ready to end him. Ryan took a moment to look at his finger, thankful that his ear wasn’t bleeding, however, his eyes saw that she was about to release a very powerful attack that looked like it could level the building next to him if she fired that attack, “Damint didn’t you hear me! There are too many innocent people nearby! Let’s take this somewhere else!” He yelled as he tried to reason with her however he saw her put her hands together to combine the two orbs making an even bigger one that was very big. Seeing her not listen to him and not care about the innocent around her. Now he was pissed, he then used rapid movement to quickly disappear from where he was standing and he then reappeared a few feet to her left. Catching her off guard he reared back his arm and quickly made a fist before he threw a punch at her, due to him being too far away from her the punch wouldn’t hit but he used the force of the punch to make a small shockwave and sent it to her face. As reality caught up to Luna she just noticed he was gone and the next it felt like someone hit her hard across her left cheek causing her to lose focus and her horn and hands stopped glowing making the huge magic orb to disappear. With the force of the shockwave, it made her head go to the side and her body to fly to the right a few feet. Using this moment Ryan again used rapid movement to quickly reappear under the moon Princes body, he quickly did a handstand and reared back both of his legs to thrust them upwards in the air as his feet made contact with her back as that attack sent her high in the air, and again he disappeared only to reappear in the air above the luner princess. He quickly put his hands together and cupped them together as he then reeled them back only to slam them down on the princess using a double axe handle on her witch in turn sent the poor lady back down to the ground fast. When she hit the ground hard a huge dust cloud went into the air, before long it settled down to show a medium size crater with Luna in the middle of it with her arms, legs and wings spread out. Her eyelids were clenching hard as she was trying to fight the pain from the attack. Ryan then quickly let himself fall before landing on his feet and landed near the edge of the crater, looking at the lady in it as her now beautiful dress now had some dirt on it making it a little dirty. Twilights POV I didn’t know what I was looking at, a few feet away from us we saw the weird being standing at the edge of the crater he put princess luna in, it’s impossible! How can somepony be able to do what? I'm guessing it’s him based on his voice and body shape, but still it’s impossible! As me and my friends were both shocked and speechless at what we saw, I then turned to look at Celestia to see her wide eyed at the scene in front of us, “P-Princess?” Hearing my voice she spanned out of and looked at me, “W-What just happen?” I asked as she realized what I was asking about before looking back at the man again.  “I’m not sure my faithful student, but it seems that this…thing…seems to be more powerful than we thought” After she said that it just made me question this thing more, how was he able to move that fast? How was he able to disappear like that? How was he able to be this powerful? How was he- “HEY! YOU LOT!” All the sudden hearing the man's voice again brought me out of my thoughts as we were all looking at him now seeing he was also looking back at us. I didn’t know why but just seeing his black eyes looking back at us just sends a chill down my spine. “If your any smarter than your friend here” he said pointing to Luna in the crater, “The I suggest you actually just listen to me and-“ before he could finish his sentence a bright blue beam shot out of the crater at him, however before it hit him he was able to just move his head back just enough for it to miss him. He then used the momentum from that to do a few backflips away from the crater, when he was a good feet away from it he stood straight holding his chin just to make sure he didn't get hit, “クソ野郎!” We heard him say something I’m not sure I ever heard before. All the sudden Luna shot out of the crater flapping her wings as she was flying in mid air a few four feet in the air, “THOU SHALL PAY FOR THAT MONSTER!!” She yelled again which in turn made him cover his ears a little bit before yelling back at her, “Again! Why all the yelling?!” He asked her but all we saw him get in response was Luna firing a magic blast at him. 3rd person Ryan then saw her shooting at him again and again he then dodged it but he jumped to the side throwing his body to the side as the blast hit where he was, he then landed on his hands before he used this momentum to push himself off the ground launching himself in the air straight at Luna, he then stretched out his left leg aiming to kick her in the face. Luna quickly saw this and moved her head to the side to just barely missing her thinking she cut it close, however that wasn’t the case as Ryan took his right leg and swung it to the side hitting her straight in the face sending her across the air, he then in turn started to spin to the left as he spiraled downwards to the ground as he landed on his right foot and holding his left in the air. Luna quickly stopped herself in mid air before looking to were her attacker would be only to see he was nowhere to be seen, this confused her until she felt a presences behind her making her eyes go wide before she quickly turn around to see he got the drop on her as he sent his right elbow into her back sending her down back to the ground. But before that could happen again he quickly used his left foot to swing under her and kick her upwards in the air again, he waited until she was at his head level he then sent his right fist into her stomach making her go down to the ground fast. As she was she quickly recovered only for her to land on her hooves and digging them in the ground and unflaring wings to slow herself down. When she came to a stop she looked in front of her to see her attacker landing not too far from her as he got into a fight pose. Luna was panting a little hard as those attacks were like nothing she had seen before, making herself rub her stomach a little bit from such a hard punch. Ryan quickly took notice of her rubbing her stomach to see that she was hurting, he then looked at her hoping they could end this, “Listen can’t we just end this already?” He asked as he was hoping she would call it quits. She looked at him confused as to why he wants to end this, she then thought he was saying she was weak and he wasn’t even trying, now she was even more pissed at him, “Yes we agree to end this here and now” she said as she then started to charge up her horn and before anything she formed a orb of magic in her hand that was bigger than her upper body. When Celestia saw this she quickly took note of what she was about to do, “SISTER DON’T! THAT ATTACK IT’S TO POWERFUL!!” She said hoping her sister would listen, but that wasn’t the case when her sister let out a loud yell before thrusting her hand with the orb in it forwards at Ryan as it then launched sending a huge magical beam at him. As the beam was heading for Ryan it was tarring up the ground as it traveled, grass and dirt and flowers coming off the ground because of it. but with all of this, all Ryan did was stand there waiting for it to get closer. Seeing him not wanting to dodge, Luna thought that she had him….that is until he then used his right hand to back hand the beam away from him and then behind as it went to a mountain. When the beam touched the mountain there was a huge explosion that looked like a huge bomb went off, the shockwave took a minute or two to reach him and the group casing the wind to blow past them very hard and fast making everyone’s hair fly backwards as they all, minus Ryan who had his back turn to the mountain just stood there unfazed by the wind. When the wind died down everyone looked to see the man still standing with his hand in the air like he backhanded someone, he then returned to a normal standing position as he looked at Luna with a very serious look that could melt steel.  “Are you going to listen to me now?” He asked as he saw the shocked face she had making him think that was one of her powerful attacks, however she quickly shook her head to clear her thoughts and looked at him with a normal expression on her face, “We see we have misjudged your strength” she said making Ryan release a sigh of relief. ’Finally, she’s come to her senses and now we can just talk this out peacefully and-’ “But that means we would have to use more power to distort you monster!” She yelled before she then fired another magic orb at him fast. ’God damnit’ he said in his mind before he backhanded that blast away only to get kicked in the face by a hoof that belonged to the pony he was fighting. He then backed up a little bit seeing she was standing where he was, wondering how she got the drop on him, thinking that she must have used that orb to distract him to get the drop on him and land a kick to his face. But what was banging on his head, besides the pain, was how she was able to close the distance between him and her so quickly. However he got his answer by seeing her horn light up and all the sudden disappearing and reappearing behind him in a bright flash and kicking him in the back sending him forwards and then doing the same thing again, reappearing in a flash of light kicking him in the face and when he tired to use his leg to do a spin kick he launched his leg only for him to hit nothing. Confusing him he then quickly turned to where she was only to see no one there, he then felt someone kick him in the back uppercut him in the chin send him upwards a couple of feet in the air only to get hit by a blast in his chest that sent in a go ways away from his attack. Turning his body upright he then used his back left leg to dig into the ground to slow him down to a halt, looking up to see the lady he was fighting with smirking before disappearing in a flash of light. ’Teleportation, fan fucking tastic’ he thought to himself before he then saw in the corner of his eye to his right, reacting quickly he put up his right arm to block a kick from her.  Satisfied that he can track where she was by the flash of light the teleportation gives off but there was a problem, if she was in his line of sight he could see the flash, but anywhere else he’s screwed. But when he saw her disappear again he noticed something or in this case he heard something, however he couldn’t tell if it was from something else so he got ready to be attacked by her only for him to hear a sound again behind him, using that he quickly did a 180 turn and put up both arms up and crossing them in a x to block a kick from her. He was able to see a surprise look on her meaning he just got her number, every time she teleports there’s a flash and some sort of popping sound every time meaning he could track her. He then did a sipn as she moved away from him but not fast enough for his fist to graze her cheek, cutting it a bit while blood came out a bit. He then saw her disappear again and again he heard that sound he then quickly dodged a punch from behind him as he counter attacked throwing a punch of his own at her before he saw he disappear just before his fist made contact, he then heard her teleport behind him again as he then saw her about to punch him but he vanished from sight before she could hit him. He then reappeared to her right to nail her in her jaw taking her off guard, he saw her disappear and again he did to before she was able to hit him and again he counter attacked hitting her in her back, over and over again they continued to disappear and reappear trying to hit each other, well more of Luna trying to hit Ryan with Ryan hitting her and her missing. To the spectators they were shocked at what they were seeing they would see the two fighters disappearing and reappearing over and over again, however what they were worried is that their princess was getting pummeled out there, getting hit after hit after hit not seeing her able to land anymore punch’s to the binging in orange. Clestia was now worried for her sister, she was able to get the upper hand on him but after a while it looked like two things happen that it looked like only she was able to see, he was able to find a way to counter attack any of her sisters attacks but the second thing that she noticed was what worried her the most, he was able to adapt to the his new situation and most of all he was able to learn as he was fighting, like this was some sort of game to learn from your opponents attacks. ’This isn’t good, no matter how hard Luna tries to attack him he finds a way to counter attack. If this keeps up then it won’t be long before Luna is done for’ Clestia said in her thoughts as she then turned to the main six, “We need to end this before this gets out of hand, Twilight do you know where Rainbow Dash and Applejack are? We really need their help” She asked as hearing her teacher's voice say her name she quickly turned to her after hearing the question. “O-Oh! Umm w-well n-no I don’t, before we left they decided to stay behind and w-well I don’t know” she said as she was now really worried that her friends might be hurt or worse. Just then Twilight just realized something as to where they were as she looked back to see the hospital, she then smiled as she looked back at Celestia now with hope in her eyes, “But if anything I bet they might be in the hospital right now! If they were hurt they might be in there” she said thinking that her friends were okay. However the light pink one, Starlight, just thought of something before she spoke up, “Um Twilight that's a good thought but if you all remember that…thing…just walked out of said hospital, who knows what it was doing in there!” She was right they had just seen him walk out of the hospital, they didn’t know what he was doing in there, he could have been hurting pony’s or worse he could have- “GIRLS!! WHAT IN TARNATION IS GOING ON HERE?!” Twilight was brought out of her thoughts as her and everyone turned to the fermillier sound of a southern accent all of them turned to see Applejack running over to them, before she would get close to them a pink blur was seen before long Applejack was almost tackled to the ground by her pink friend “APPLEJACK! YOUR OKAY! WE THOUGHT THAT BIG BAD MONSTER GOT YOU AND-“ before she could say anything more Applejack covered her mouth with her hand. “Whoa there! It’s okay I’m fine” She said as she then noticed two things, her friends and the princess are here, and there were a lot of explosions behind them.  “Okay what’s going on here?” She asked as Twilight walked over to her to help pry Pinkie off her. “Well while we were at canterlot we just got word that ponyville was attacked! And we were also told that a monster did it, so we came over and found it here” she said as Applejack had a confused look on her face. “Wait you found it? But Ryan said he defeated it” when she said that now it was their turn to have confused looks on their faces as Twilight spoke up. “Wait, who’s Ryan?” “He’s a new friend of mine that just came here and help take care of the monster that attack ponyville” when she said that Clestia walked over to her now a little more confused and had a feeling something was wrong, “Applejack, can you please tell me, was he wearing all orange and had a black mane?” “Huh? Umm yeah I think so why?” And now that comfred what she was thinking as she wish to slap her head for not figuring it out sooner, ’oh buck’ Back with the fight Ryan and Luna were still going at it as they continued to trade blows, after they landed she tried to teleport behind him to give him a good hit, however when Ryan saw her lighting up her horn he immediately appeared in front of her as he then grab one of her hands and her horn firmly, “ENOUGH WITH THAT MAGIC BULLSHIT!!” He yelled as he was really annoyed from all the teleporting and magic blast. When Luna registered that she got grabbed by her hands and horn she blushed a little red from the feeling of grabbing her horn, “Y-YOU MONSTER! LET GO OF US THIS INSTANT!!” She said as she struggled in his grip trying to break free. However Ryan got a good grip on her and he wasn’t going to budge, he even felt her power slowly go away making him think that these pony’s horns are just like Sayian tails, when you grab them they lose all their strength. But he would have to think about that later as he still had her trapped, “Not until you stop and listen to me!” “I think I can do that” Both Ryan and Luna stopped in their tracks as they both looked to where they heard a calm voice next to them. When they looked over Ryan saw the tall white pony lady walking over to them calmly and with a normal face expression like nothing was wrong, as she was Ryan could feel that she was more powerful than the blue one he was fighting. Then all the sudden her horn glowed a bright yellow and before he could reach the blue one disappeared in a yellow flash and appeared next to the white one making Ryan think that this was going to be a two on one as he then immediately got in a fighting stance ready to go. Luna panted a little bit as he blush went away as she looked over to her sister, “Thank you sister for freeing us” she said as Ryan caught that first part, sister, now he sees why their energy’s feel the same. Ryan then put his attention to them as he put on a smile, “so she’s your sis huh? Well that makes sense, you both look the same” he said as Luna quickly turned her head back to him and smiled too, “Indeed she is, she has to come to help us defeat you” as she said that he could see that smile she had was one of confidence and cockiness, to witch Ryan quickly replied, “So that means its two on one huh?” He said as he looked at the two of them before smiling more, “I like those odds” When he said that both the sisters and the pony’s behind them were surprised to hear him say that a two on one fight was fair to him, even though he has a disadvantage. It took Clestia to regain a little bit from him saying that as she continued to look at him, “So, you wish to continue fighting?” She asked as she waits for his answer, to which he immediately did, “You bet your ass lady” after that there were gasps of shock that he would say that to the Princesses. The Princesses were a little taken aback too but Luna replied first, “Very well then monster, are you ready sister?” She asked as she looked at her sister as she did in return and nodded, “Indeed Luna” after she said that Luna nodded and looked at Ryan again, “Prepare monster for we-“ “Surrender”  “Yes sister we surren- WAIT WHAT!?” “What?” Both Ryan and Luna asked at the same time as they both looked at the white pony both confused as to why she just said they surrender. Luna was the first to say something to her sister, “Sister, we don’t think our hearing is right, but we thought you said that we surrender?” “You heard me right Luna, I said we surrender” she said, making her sister's eye twitch a bit….then immediately she got in her sisters face. “SISTER! WHY IN TARTARUS WOULD WE SURRENDER TO A MONSTER LIKE HIM?!”  “Because Luna, I saw two things that made me want to stop this fight “And what did you see that made you jump in?!” she asked, still full of anger at her still cualm sister, which to Ryan’s eyes it looked like he was looking at another Goku and Vegeta, ones calm minded, the other a prideful little shit. Keeping her motherly figure she looked at her sister, “Simple, the first thing I saw was you were having your flank handed to you” she said as her sister blushed a bit out of embarrassment that they were seeing their ruler getting beaten up, “the second-” she paused to look at Ryan who was still standing in a fighting pose and still looking with a serious face, who she in turn smiled at, “I believe that we should hear your side of your story” Hearing this Ryan dropped his pose but still kept his serious face on showing he wasn’t going to let his guard down, “Finally, someone willing to actually listen here” Hearing this she smiled more and turned around, with her hand she motian for him to follow her, “Come, I feel like we should have some proper introductions and hear your side of the story” she said as she then started to walk back to the hospital. Her sister would be shocked the way her sister was taking this so lightly, she then looked at Ryan one final time giving him the stink eye before following her sister. ’Yeah that’s right, keep walking bitch’ Ryan said in his mind as he was watching the two horse lady’s walking away. He then started to walk over to where they were walking before then all the sudden he got a really high power level from his senses and scouter as he then quickly looked to the right where it was coming from and when he did…there was nothing, nothing. As soon he looked in that direction the scouter went silent and he couldn’t feel that high power anywhere, it completely vanished.  ’What was that? I know for a fact I sense something’ Ryan thought to himself before a while later he finally looked away from that spot to see a lot of those pony’s waiting, he then continued to walk over to them still thinking about that power level he sensed. For now he would have to deal with this mess before dealing with that. ’I know I sense something….right?’ Somewhere in the mountains Inside a cave in the dark of a mountain, a dark figure smiled as he then started to open a portal revealing a pair of red eyes as something was manifesting inside it as the dark figure made its way over to him before smiling at it. “It seems I need to kick it up a notch to destroy this place since a Time Patroller is hear, this will be more fun hehe” > Chapter 7: Introductions > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Once regaining focus and walking over to the hospital he would see they all went inside, so seeing nothing else to do he followed and walked into the hospital. Once in he saw all of the ponies that came here and the two apples in the lobby, as well as the white and blue ponies he  saw earlier, with the blue one immediately noticing him and glaring at him, and Ryan giving  one right back at her. Feeling the tension in the room everyone(besides Luna) would turn and see that Ryan walked  into the hospital, once everyone did Apple Bloom would run over to him with a confused look on  her face. “Ryan! What's going on?! Why were you fighting Princess Luna? What's going-" just as Apple Bloom was about to continue, Ryan stopped her by putting a hand on her head stopping her from talking as he was looking at her.  "Apple Bloom, I think you should head back to the farm" "W-What? Why?" "Because this is going to be a conversation between adults, and besides, your gran and brother might be very worried about you right now." he said to her before giving her a big kind goofy smile, one he learned from a certain saiyan, "Don't worry about me, I'll be fine. Okay?" he asked her as she looked at him, before smiling too and nodding her head. "Okay" Once she said that she ran out of the hospital and started to head back to the farm. Once she left the hospital, Ryan's smile faded quickly before turning into a more serious look. looking back at the other ponies that were standing there a few feet in front of him. They continued to stare at each other for what felt like hours before Ryan's voice broke the silence between them. "So, I'm assuming you all have questions?" he asked them, waiting for a response from them, where Celestia was the one to answer. "Indeed we do, but before we do ask our questions," Celestia said as her horn glowed a bright yellow, that's when Ryan felt something cold around his wrists, and looking down he saw he was now in cuffs. "sorry, but we just need to be sure" Seeing her friend now in cuffs, Applejack ran over to him and stood in front of him trying to defend him. "HEY! Why is he in cuffs?! he didn't do anything wrong!" Hearing this from their friend, the others would be confused by this before Twilight spoke up. "Applejack, we don't know that for sure. We got word of something like him attacking Ponyville." "But that doesn't mean he did it!" she yelled at her friend, but before she could continue Ryan just put a hand on her shoulder, causing her to stop and look at him confused. "It's okay AJ, I'm fine with this" "What!? But you didn't-" "I know, but right now they don't know that. The best thing for me to do is to just wait and go along with this. If I try to resist it would just make things worse, so for now just go with it, okay?" he asked her, trying to reassure her that everything was okay. Seeing and hearing this from her friend she would let out a sigh before she nodded and just walked over to the side, letting Ryan look at the others again.  Seeing this Celestia softly smiled at this, "Well then, now that's over. I think introductions are in order"  "Yeah, I would like that," Ryan said, as he was now glad that everything was calm and he could talk. "Good, now then, allow me to start off," she said before putting a hand on her huge chest, "My name is Princess Celestia, co-ruler of Equestria" She said before standing tall and proud, holding both hands in front of her as she looked at Ryan. As she did this he immediately studied her, seeing her take on an authoritative yet calm and caring look, as he would have to guess she must have been doing this a long time to show authority yet be relaxed about it.  “And this is my sister, Princess Luna, she rules along with me” She said as she moved her hand to motion to the blue alicorn to her left, Ryan would immediately analyze her like he did with Celestia as he would immediately see a difference. While Celestia had a calm and somewhat motherly aura around her, Luna stood proud held her hands behind her back, and took on a tough authoritative look. ‘Hmm, interesting. Sisters, but Celestia seems to be more the calm and caring type of princess, while Luna seems to be a more strict and stern type of princess’ Ryan thought to himself before putting his legs together and giving the princess’s a bow of respect. “It’s a pleasure to meet you your Highnesses” He said, even though one of the said highnesses tried to send him to King Yemma, he still showed them respect. Once he gave them a bow he stood back up and looked at them, seeing that they were shocked that he would be so polite for a monster that attacked Ponyville. As a minute or two passed, Twilight shook her head before stepping up to him and introducing herself, “Umm Well I’m Princess Twilight Sparkle, and these are my friends,” she said before motioning her hand to her friends. Each one spoke up to introduce themselves, as the first one was the white unicorn girl. “Hello darling, I’m Rarity, owner of the Carousel boutique and fashion. And speaking of fashion, I don’t think rags is a good clothing darling” She would say as she looked at what Ryan was wearing, though, her comment made Twilight and Applejack roll their eyes at her, while Ryan just seemed confused. Only for AJ to face palm before speaking up, “Seriously Rare? All you talk about is someponys clothes” “What? I’m just saying, look how baggy they are” the white mare, now known as Rarity would say in defense. “But these aren’t rags though,” Ryan would say as he chipped in, “this is my fighting Gi, it’s meant to look baggy to help me move around in a fight” Ryan would explain as said explanation would make Rarity gasp a bit before tapping her chin. “Huh, baggy enough to move around in” she would ponder to herself before Twilight would help speed things along. “Anyways!” She would say, breaking Rarity's thoughts as she would laugh a bit embarrassed, before letting the others introduce themselves. Next was bright pink- “Hiya!”  “Gah!” Before he knew it, the pink pony would be in his face again so quickly, that it actually surprised him, as he stepped back a bit from both the shock and from her invading his personal space. “Oops! Haha! Didn’t mean to scare ya again silly! My name is Pinkamena Diane Pie! Or Pinkie Pie! Or just Pinkie!” She would say before putting on a bright smile that went from ear to ear with her, which also looked off-putting. “Umm, Yeah, I believe you said that when you did the same thing when you first got here” Ryan would say as he stood back up straight again, regaining himself as he looked at the pink pony. “*GASP!* You remembered that!? Oh gosh! That was back in chapter five! And where on seven!” “I- Wait, What?” before he could even ask about what she said, AJ would tap Ryan on the shoulder before leaning over to whisper in his ear. “Just go with it, it's just pinkie being pinkie” Hearing that, he would look back at AJ to take in what she just said, before nodding and looking back to see Pinkie was now back with the others. With that out of the way, he saw the yellow butter pony look at him, before taking her pink main with a hand before using her hair to hide herself behind it. Looking at him and at the ground before looking back at him. “Umm I-I’m F-Fluttershy” She would say in a shy and quite voice, granted anyone would have difficulty hearing her, but luckily Ryan had good enough hearing to catch the name, and the shyness in her voice. “Umm right, Fluttershy. Look if you don’t want to talk or anything, I won’t force you too” After he said that everyone, minus Celestia and AJ, would seem surprised about this, Fluttershy more so. “OH! Nononono I mean, if you want me to umm…th-thank you” She would say before going back to hiding behind her hair. As next to step out was the out pony, being a light pink color. “I’m Starlight Glimmer, student of Twilight Sparkle” She would say with a bit of pride in her voice, as for a second, Ryan almost though he heard Vegeta speak out. Next would be the last one, though, he didn’t look like a pony, but more like a lizered or a dragon…maybe a lizered. “And I’m Spike the dragon!” He would say before puffing out his chest and pointing a thumb towards himself. Hearing his voice made it sound like he was kind of young, if being as tall to Ryans hips didn’t give it away. But also hearing that he was a dragon kind of got Ryan’s mind going, as the only dragons he knew were the Shenron, seeing one that wasn’t them really shocked Ryan a bit. After that, the purple pony, now known as Twilight, would step forward again before speaking, “And it already seems like you know AJ here” “That I do” Ryan would respond as he looked at all the ponys and dragon that spoke. Learning who was who quickly, the white one with fashion on the mind was Rarity, the hyperactive pink one was Pinkie Pie, the yellow shy one was Fluttershy, the unicorn with a purple mane with a teal streak in it was Starlight and finally the dragon seemed to be Spike. Now knowing the names he gave them a bow of respect too before introducing himself, “It’s nice to meet you all, I’m Ryan”  Hearing his name, Twilight immediately raised an eyebrow and tilted her head, “Wait, just Ryan?” “Well if you want me to be formal about it, it’s Son Ryan or Ryan-san” Hearing his name like that made all the ponys and dragon raise an eyebrow at his named, kind of finding it a bit odd. “Oh come on! After hearing all your names, I don’t think any of you have room to judge” He would say, making some rub the back of their heads and a few smiling sheepishly from it too, they won’t lie, he had a bit of a point. After that Celestia was the one to bring the attention back to the topic on hand, “*Ahem*, anyway, Applejack. You said that mister Ryan here-” “Just Ryan is fine your highness” Ryan would say, cutting her off in her sentence. “Of course, Ryan. As I was saying Applejack, you said that Ryan here isn’t the monster that attacked Ponyville, correct?” “Yes, your highness! Ryan here was helping me out on the farm, and he went to fight the monster that was attacking Ponyville, you have my word that I’m telling the truth” hearing that Celestia would then smile softly before looking to Ryan, looking at him in the eyes as he did too. Suddenly the whole world around them disappeared, both standing in the void as they both studied each other's soul and heart. As if an hour passed, when it was just a few minutes, came back to reality before the sun princess smiled softly, and looked over to the farm pony, “I believe you Applejack,” she said before she used her magic to make the cuffs around Ryan's hands disappear.  Seeing this the other ponys, besides Applejack, would go wide-eyed in shock before Luna turned to her sister in anger, “SISTER! You CAN’T be serious! You’re just going to believe them just like that?!” she asked in frustration, however, Celestia calmly move her head to look at her sister with that same smile before answering her. “Luna, when you tried to destroy the “monster” you almost hit the hospital, and he was very concern about that,” she said making Luna flinch a bit as she remembered that she did almost hit the hospital.  “And while we’re on the subject about the hospital, we saw him walk out of the building, but look around you,” she said before she motioned with her hand to have her sister and the others look at the building, “the building and everypony in it is all okay” “I-I…W-Well, I guess that is true” “Umm d-don’t forget he kept trying to try and talk with us and not fight” the shy soft spoken Fluttershy said, bring everyone attention on her before Celestia nodded her head at her. “That is correct dear Fluttershy, so sister? Can a cruel and heartless monster, have a heart and care for the well-being of others? And not only that, but who are we to doubt the Emelemt of Truth?” she asked her sister, making not just Luna, but the other ponys and dragon go wide eyed a bit, besides Ryan, AJ and Celestia of course.  After hearing that Luna would realize her mistake as she looked over at Ryan, then to Applejack, and then back at Ryan. “I-I see,” she said before she then walked over to Ryan and held her hands in front of her, and hung her head low before she spoke to him, “We are sorry for thinking you were the one who attacked Ponyville, please forgive my misjudgment” she said as she knew that he probably wasn’t going to but at least she said sorry. “Eh, don’t worry about it, wouldn’t be the first time a lady tried to kill me if I’m being honest,” he said before putting his hands on the back of his head and smiling a bit, and just being relaxed about the situation. Shocking Luna a bit as he forgave her so easily. “R-Really?” “Of course, there’s Bulma who just scares me for good reason, there's Chronoa-” “What? No, I mean the forgiving part. You really forgive me that easily?” “Oh, Yeah, of course I do” “B-But-” “Look, I get it, you were just worried for your subjects is all, no harm done…well, poor choice of words, but you get what I mean” He would say as he put his hands back in front of him again, still wearing that smile on his face, as for some reason, it just made Luna want to smile back too. “That We do, thank you” She would say before going back over to her sisters side. “No problem” he would say before looking back at Celestia, “Now that we know I’m not the bad guy, you mind?” He would as before holding up his hands and showing the cuffs on his hands.  Doing so made Celestia giggle a bit before nodding, with a glow of her horn and a wave of her hand, the cuffs disappeared from sight in a flash. “Thanks” He would say before rotating his wrists a bit from how tight the cuffs were. As he did, Twilight would look around the hospital a bit before looking at Applejack, “AJ, where's Rainbow Dash?” She would ask her friend, getting the attention of her other friends, princess’s and Ryan. Looking at Twilight before at AppleJack. Hearing the name Rainbow Dash made Ryan look away, to let AJ explain to them the story, as he knew already from being friends with Applejack for such a smile time, he could tell this one was going to hurt her a bit to tell. As seeing Ryan look away and Applejack taking a hand to grab the tip of her hat, before pulling it down to hide her face, was already not a good sign to them. “*Sigh* I won’t lie to y’all but, Rainbow…poor gal isn’t looking to good right now” hearing Applejack say that, already made her friends go more wide eyed, with Fluttershy slowly going into tears. Letting what she said sink in for a bit before Spike broke the silence, “W-What happened?” Hearing that question, AJ would look up a bit to look her friends in the eyes as she spoke, “It ain’t purty everypony, after Ryan here went to take down the monster that was destroying Ponyvile, I went around trying to help out anypony I can, till I suddenly found Rainbow, laying under a pile of rubble” Just saying that made a few of the group gasp from hearing Applejacks story. “Poor gal was out cold, by the time I got her out of there, RD didn’t look to good. She had bruises and some pretty bad scars” “Sounds like she tried to fight Turles” Ryan would chime in as he looked over at Applejack. Hearing what Ryan said, Celestia would try and get an answer out of what he said, “You knew the name of the monster?” “Yeah, but questions for later, for now, let AJ speak” hearing this Celestia would simply nod before both gave Applejack their attention again. Having the floor yet again, Applejack would continue, “After I got her up, I immediately rushed her to the hospital, after she was checked in, and few moments of waiting, the doc gave me the new,” she would say as her friends waited on beated breath on what she was about to say next, “Doc told me she was pretty banged up, but after a while in the hospital, she would be fine.” hearing that made of her friends let out a sigh of relief from hearing that. “Don’t get your hopes up” Ryan would say, getting the others attention, “She may just said she’ll be fine” he would say, before looking over at Applejack with a solom face, understanding the pain behind the plan face AJ was trying to hold up, “But there's a “But” coming, isn’t there?” after asking that, the others would look at AJ again, and all they needed was to see Aj hide her face behind her hat, to already tell this wasn’t good. “...But, the doc said that they tried all types of healing magic on her, though, not even time in the hospital would help her, as her wings were so badly damage to the point…that RD won’t EVER fly again” she would say, as her voice chocked up a bit at that last part.  As Ryan would see the other start to tear up, Fluttershy and Pinkie already sniffling and crying a bit, while seeing the sisters hung their heads low with a sad face to the triable news. Letting what they heard sink in, Ryan would then break the silence. “You should all go see her, at a time like this, it’s best to have you guys by her side for this” Hearing this, AJ would look up at Ryan before nodding at what he said, as she sniffled a bit before pulling her hat back up again.  “Yar right partner, come on ya’ll, shes down the hallway” AJ would say before leading the way to Rainbows room, followed behind Ryan, then Twilight, then the others. Soon, everyone would be following AJ close behind before coming up to the door to the room, Ryan would move up ahead to help get the door for them, already feeling the sadness in the air from the ponys and dragon, as he would take the handle of the door and slowly opened it, going in a bit to hold the door open for them. “Here, I got the-” Not being able to finish his sentence, immediately he would act on instinct, as he would dodge on his right, before a blue blur went past his head and out the door, shocking everyone before Ryan turned to see a blue pegasus pony with a rainbow main and tail. “W-What the-” “Round two monster!” She would say before standing up and using her wings to hover in the air, ready to charge him again. “What- Oh come on! We just got through this!” Ryan would say as he got into a battle stance. “Yeah! And I’m about to go through you!” She would say before she started to fly towards him again, only to be stopped by Applejack grabbing her tail and pulling her back. “Whoa! WHOA! Easy there girl!” AJ would say as she pulled her friend back to the ground, as Ryan would stand back up straight as everyone would look in shock. Before the blue pegasus could say anything, AJ would immediately give her a tight hug, almost on the verge of tears.  “Wh-What the? AJ whats going on?” She would ask her friend before Applejack would simply pull away, wiping any tears from her eyes as she looked her friend in the eyes. “Heh, we have some explaining to tell yah hehe” “Umm, yeah, before you do,” the two would hear from Ryan as they looked over to see him holding his hand in front of his eyes, and his head looking away, “you mind putting her hospital gown back on?” he would ask as AJ and RD would also see the other ponys looking away, while Fluttershy was covering spikes eyes. As the two would look down to see that was fully naked, making the two blush a bit before stepping away from each other as AJ covered her eyes with her hat, and Rainbow doing what she could to cover herself up. “Umm yeah, thats probably a good idea” Applejack would say as the two blushed more in embarrassment, before Rainbow immediately flew past Ryan in a blur to get her gown.
