> Spiders and Magic: Saiyan Battle > by Masterob > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > A Brand New World to Explore? Showdown in Equestria! > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The various worlds of Marvel, Capcom, Equestria and even recently with Square all had something in common, very powerful fighters who can face the deadliest of enemies, heroes and warriors who would not run from danger, but rather face it head on. The Marvel world containing Superheroes like Spider-Man, Captain America, Iron Man and Wolverine. The Capcom world containing Warriors like Ryu, Chun-Li, Chris Redfield and Dante. The world of Equestria containing the likes of Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Applejack and Pinkie Pie. Even Square had heroes such as Cloud Strife, Squall Leonhart, Tidus and Lightning. But not too far off, another world existed, one that the Draconequus Discord knew about, the Dragon World, containing power warriors from Planet Earth, Planet Namek as well as Planet Vegeta, home of the Saiyans, two of them standing out the most. The first being the Prince of the Saiyans, the warrior with the same name as his planet, Prince Vegeta, who's battle tactics were admired by all those two fought by him or against him. The second was his rival, the Saiyan raised on Earth, the Warrior Son Goku. Some may call him a bit of a ditz due to his naïve nature, but there's no denying that he's got the heart of a Saiyan Warrior, and the strength to back it up. The two had been sparring when Discord had contacted them, offering them both a chance to really test their skills and get a good fight in out of it. While hesitant to trust Discord, especially Vegeta, the two figured it was worth a try, hoping that this wasn't just some ruse. In the Dragon World, Goku and Vegeta were seen standing before two open portals, one for Goku to enter, and one for Vegeta. "Here are your destination gents, I trust you know what to do." "Uh...can you run it by me again? I kind of forgot," Goku sheepishly stated. Vegeta rolled his eyes in annoyance, "You have the memory of a fish." "It's fine Prince Vegeta, I want this to go as smoothly as possible so I'll explain it again," Discord said. "Goku, you will be going to a world called Equestria, where a powerful Spider based hero named Peter Parker exists. I want you to go there and do battle against him." "Right, a powerful hero, is he really that strong though?" Goku asked. "Oh yes, very much so," Discord said. "I dare say he's one of the strongest in the multiverse. Of course getting him to fight might be tricky since he usually doesn't like to fight unless he needs to." "Why do you want me to fight him?" Goku asked. "I mean, I'm all for fighting strong guys but you do seem rather interested in making it happen." "Call it training," Discord said. "The boy needs to keep his skills sharp, I sense danger in his world and having a strong person like you to fight him and keep him on guard seems like the best idea." "Well, nothing wrong with that," Goku said. "I mean if Gohan hadn't slacked he'd be much stronger, so I'll do my part to help someone stay strong enough to beat up baddies." "Well since you're recapping, remind me why I have to enter this other world, what you call 'Capcom'," Vegeta said. "Just to give them a wake-up call," Discord said. "See they think their world has the strongest warriors and they like to travel and beat up warriors from other worlds, I need you to remind them that they're not really that great, you know, just to keep them from causing trouble." "What's in it for me anyway?" Vegeta asked. "A good fight?" Discord said. "I mean, they are pretty strong, but you just need to show that you're stronger. My suggestion, ask for a guy named Ryu." Vegeta still looked very unsure, something about this creature concerned him, Vegeta couldn't really get a good reading on him either. Discord's power level did feel a bit weak compared to his, but he did get a glimpse of Discord's magic, and Vegeta knows first hand just how dangerous magic can be. "Kakarot, a word," Vegeta said, pulling Goku aside and maintaining a distance from Discord, the human-disguised Draconequss just rubbing his chin. "Such a lack of trust, but that comes with being a hardened warrior I suppose," Discord said. "So generic honestly, the tough guy trusts no one, at least Goku subverts expectations a little." As the two were further along, Vegeta began to voice his concerns. "Kakarot, do you really trust this man?" "I mean, he seems like he's being honest," Goku said. "And having new warriors to fight would be interesting." "So that's it, you're not even going to think about it?" Vegeta asked. "What if this is a trap or something? What if he double crosses us?" "Hey we'll keep an eye out, plus I don't think there's much he can do, he doesn't seem that strong," Goku said. "Neither was Babidi, and you know damn well what happened then," Vegeta said. "Yeah, you got mind controlled," Goku pointed out. "But only because you still had evil in your heart, now you're a nice, swell person who loves and cares for others." Vegeta grimaced at the thought of him being some goody-two shoes. "I am no such thing! Just because I won't destroy this planet doesn't mean I'm everyone's best friend or something! Far as I'm concerned you and your friends are a bunch of nuisances." "Come on Vegeta, you know it sounds like fun," Goku said, making his way back to Discord. "Fine, I'm not doing anything anyway, but the moment they start to bore me I'm leaving," Vegeta said. "Oh I doubt you'll be bored," Discord said. "You'll have a grand time." "Also, I'll be keeping an eye on you," Vegeta warned. "Try anything funny while I'm out there and I'll kill you." "Ooh, touchy, don't worry, I wouldn't be foolish enough to get on your bad side," Discord insisted, smirking deviously. "Also Goku, your form might change in that world, so do be careful." "Huh? Change how?" Goku asked. "What about my form?" Vegeta asked. "Ciao," Discord said, just using his magic to nudge them both into their respective portals. Goku landed on the other side, feeling a bit dizzy from his trip, "Oh, I think I'm gonna puke." The Saiyan man did his best to keep it in, taking a moment to relax and figure himself out. He noticed that he was standing near a fancy looking castle. "Now...where exactly am I?" Suddenly he began transforming and within seconds, he had taken the shape of an Earth Pony. "Uh, what the!? Is this the form that weird old guy mentioned!?" Goku looked around his body, he truly was a pony. "That's so strange." Goku took to the air and started throwing some jabs, he still had some speed but he didn't feel all his power yet. Most likely due to his new form, all he had to do was break it in a bit. During this however, a pony with a round shield had noticed the once Saiyan man down below, getting very confused and suspicious. "What's happening now?" Goku landed back on the ground, still throwing some punches and kicks, "Might need a bit more but I think I'll get the hang of it once my fight starts." "Excuse me, can I help you?" This got Goku's attention and he turned around, coming face-to-face with Steve Rogers, the hero once known as Captain America. "Oh hi, I'm here looking for a guy named uh..." Goku tapped his chin. "Peter...Spider? Wait I think I got that wrong." "What's your business with this person you're after?" Cap asked, already somewhat suspicious. "I heard he was strong, so I came to fight him," Goku said. Cap scratched his head in confusion, not the answer he was expecting unless...."Are you from Capcom?" "Uh no, my friend went there though, why are they still being pushy jerks?" Goku asked. "I heard they liked beating people up to feel stronger or something." "Uh not entirely wrong, but bit of an exaggeration" Cap shook it off, now was not the time to think about this. "Alright, you're going to have to leave, we have enough going on without some random person showing up and trying to fight anyone here." "Oh come on, I came all this way, that Discord guy told me I could get a good fight," Goku said. "Discord!?" Cap asked. "Alright, I'm gonna need you to tell me everything you know." "Uh...know what?" Goku asked. "About Discord?" "You can't really be this dense," Cap said, looking pitifully confused. "Look, I want answers, and if I have to fight them out of you I will!" "Wait, you can fight too!?" Goku asked. "Of course, I'm one of the strongest fighters in this world," Cap said, getting into a stance. "Now you have a choice, leave now or-" "I'm fighting," Goku said, getting into stance as well. Cap raised his eyebrow, "Are you serious, this isn't a-" "You're open!" Goku threw a punch. Cap quickly blocked with his shield but the force still knocked him back, skidding across the ground. Cap looked in Goku's direction, staring in disbelief. That was an incredible amount of power, whoever this person was, he was certainly no push-over. "Great, like we need this nonsense right now." "Uh, I think I dented your shield, hope that wasn't important or anything," Goku said. "What do you mean..." Cap looked over and saw his mangled up shield, while not impossible to dent, it did say something abut this person's strength. "Eh, I can buff that out." Cap stood up to take a stance, "Still, if he can do that with one punch..." "You look serious, I bet this is gonna be really fun!" Goku said, taking a stance. "Get ready!" Goku rushed in, faster than Cap could anticipate and threw another punch, getting Cap in the chest, the Avenger really feeling that one. He stood back up and rushed in with a few punches and kicks, trying to knock Goku off balance. Cap spun into a backfist, then spun back into a knee to Goku's stomach and a punch across his jaw. Something about punching this guy did feel like punching a wall, a hard one, even for Cap. Goku parried a second punch to his jaw and threw a punch of his own, the hero again blocking, this time with his forelegs, but the force was too much for him and he was knocked upwards through the castle walls. This came as a surprise to Celestia, who happened to be in the room that Cap got knocked into, as she was busy reading some documents from a neighboring country. "What in Equestria!?" "We have a problem Princess," Cap said, getting back on his hooves. "Another villain?" Celestia asked. "I...honestly don't know," Cap said as Goku appeared at the hole, looking a little surprised. "Whoops, didn't mean to cause any damage," Goku said. "Maybe fighting in an area with a lot of buildings isn't a good idea." "Who are you!?" Celestia asked. "Me? My name is Goku, I'm here to fight strong guys," Goku replied. "That does seem to be his motivation, but I don't think he's from the Capcom world," Cap said. "My friend Vegeta's going there to fight their strong guys, I came here looking for some guy called Spider," Goku explained. "I hope he shows up soon." Celestia looked rather confused and mildly annoyed, "Look, I don't understand your reasoning but you cannot come to this world to pick fights, I've had enough of that lately and I really don't need more headaches." "You look really fancy, are you a queen or something?" Goku asked. "I'm a Princess actually, and don't change the subject!" Celestia said. "If you don't march yourself out of my world then I'll-" "Princess!" Cap called. "Mind your temper, do not let this get the better of you." Celestia took a moment to take a breath, heeding Cap's advice, "Thank you Steve, I almost lost my composure there." Goku scratched his head, "Uh...is something suppose to be going on here?" "Why are you even here?" Celestia asked. "What brings you to my world?" "Looking for some Spider guy, then this one with his fancy shield that looks like the mark on your butt wanted to fight me," Goku said. "Beg your pardon!?" Celestia said, looking a bit annoyed. "What is wrong with this guy!?" Cap wondered. He turned to Celestia, "He seems interested in fighting Peter for whatever reason." "Is his name Peter or Spider?" Goku asked. "I heard Spider." "Uh...it's his Superhero name...do you know what a Superhero is?" Cap asked. It took Goku a moment to figure it out, then remembered something crucial, "Oh yeah, superheroes! Like my son Gohan, he calls himself The Great Saiyaman!" "Exactly...wait, your son's a hero?" Cap asked. "And what's a 'Saiyaman'?" "Actually, I don't know if I was suppose to tell you, he doesn't like telling anyone for some reason," Goku said. "So mind keeping that a secret?" "I can relate to his plight, so of course, just be careful, secret identities are not to be taken lightly," Cap warned. "Of course Peter has dropped his and uses the Spider-Man name for his own reasons." "Cool, now can you take me to him so we can fight?" Goku asked. "You're really eager for this fight, are you sure you're not from Capcom?" Cap asked. "I already told you, Vegeta went to that world, I'm here to fight the spider person," Goku explained. "I hope he's really strong!" "He is very powerful," Cap said, though wondered if even Peter would withstand the strength from this strange warrior. "Give me a second, I need to speak with Princess Celestia. Stay here and don't touch anything." "Uh, right," Goku said, standing completely still. Cap went out into the balcony where Celestia followed, the sun princess quite concerned and confused by the arrival of this mysterious warrior. "Where could that person have come from?" "I'm not sure, but it sounds like Discord had something to do with this," Cap said. "That man said that Discord sent him to this world to fight Peter." "Why would Discord do something like that?" Celestia asked. "Is this really just some spur of the moment decision or is he up to something?" "Well you've said before that Discord isn't much for rational planning, so this may indeed just be some game to him," Cap said. "But I do worry what can result from this showdown. Fortunately, it seems like Goku really isn't an evil person, he just seems single mindedly dedicated to a fight." "Sounds like Capcom isn't the only world that is eager for battle," Celestia said. "Though I do wonder what's gonna happen now with their world given that another warrior seems to be on his way." "They'll be fine," Cap said. "At least I hope so." "Well until then, what should we do about this warrior?" Celestia wondered. "We can't just send him to fight Peter, but I don't know if he'll easily leave." "We can try to talk rationally to him, maybe he can be reasoned with," Cap said. "Too bad Sunset Shimmer isn't here, her knowledge of others worlds could have come in handy." "Yes, last I saw she went to Square to meet with that Cloud Strife fellow," Celestia said. "Perhaps I can call her later and see if she can shed some light, for all we know this one here might be from Square, he certainly has the hair for it." "Huh?" Cap remembered Cloud's point hair style. "Huh, could be. Still, let's try to get some answers from him, with luck we can use diplomacy to solve this issue." "No harm in trying...possibly," Celestia said, making her way back inside alongside Cap, where the two discovered something potentially worrying. "So are you this dark, moody pony or something?" Goku asked. "You look kind of mysterious." "I am The Princess of The Night!" Luna boastfully replied. "Who might you be?" "I'm Goku, I'm a Saiyan from Earth, and I'm here to fight Spider-Man!" Goku said. Luna gasped, "A villain perhaps? Here to hurt my dear, precious Peter!?" Luna readied some magic. "I will not allow it!" "Luna!" Celestia quickly rushed over. "Please do not engage in combat." "But sister, this fiend intends to harm Peter! Do you really want to allow that?" Luna asked. "What's going on in here?" Stark asked, making his way into the room with a briefcase in tow. "Another guest?" "Tony Stark, perfect timing," Luna said. "This mysterious being wants to do battle against Peter, help me detain him." "There doesn't need to be any detaining," Celestia said. "It's a misunderstanding!" "No, I do want to fight Spider-Man," Goku explained. "But it seems like she wants to fight too, and I could use another warm up, that guy with the shield didn't last that long." Stark turned to Cap, "You lost to this guy?" "I didn't lose, I just stopped fighting to get answers," Cap said, mildly annoyed by Goku's comment. "He is strong though." "Well I bet I can detain him easily," Stark said, activating his suit. "Alright pal, time for you to face the Armored Avenger." Goku looked amazed by the armor, "Uh, that's a weird looking suit, what's it suppose to-" Without warning, Iron Man blasted Goku in the face, knocking him out of the castle. He then flew in after the Saiyan and delivered a punch that knocked him down into the courtyard. "Tony wait up!" Cap called. "Don't worry Steve, I got this!" Stark insisted, floating down toward Goku. "So ready to give up?" "Not really," Goku said, dusting himself off like nothing happened. "You're suit's strong but not that great. Also it's kind of cheating that you're using robot suits to fight, reminds me of that little blue guy that constantly gave me trouble when I was a kid." "A tough guy huh? Let's kick this up a notch!" Stark delivered an uppercut that knocked Goku into the air, then flew up to kick Goku back down through the roof of the castle. "Tony!" Celestia scolded. "I'll fix that!" Stark said, flying in after Goku. "Gonna have to get you out of-" Suddenly Goku punched Stark through the wall, creating another hole, much to Celestia's annoyance. Goku then flew after Stark and kicked him up and then kicked him back to the ground. "Tony Stark!" Luna flew in to help. "Away from him knave!" Luna send a blast at Goku, which he quickly blocked, though Luna's power did push him back a bit. Eventually Goku teleported out the way and kicked Luna aside. "Wow, you're strong," Goku complimented. "Of course, Luna said, shaking off the attack and making her way back to Goku. "I am Princess of the Night, it is my duty to keep Equestria safe from villains like you." "Why do you keep calling me a villain?" Goku asked. "You look more like a villain than I do, with your dark and moody attitude." "Be silent you cur!" Luna sent a blast at Goku, which he quickly avoided. "You also talk fancy, just like Frieza and Cell," Goku said. Suddenly he took a rocket powered kick from Stark. "So people with intelligence are evil to you? Is that why you talk and sound like an imbecile?" Luna asked. "See, you're using weird words too," Goku said, shaking off the attack. Cap landed nearby, still looking ready for a fight, "Goku was it? You really should leave, you've already caused some damage to the castle." "Then let's fight somewhere away from the city, I don't want anyone getting hurt," Goku said. "You say that, yet you came here to fight Peter," Luna said. "I already told you, I just want a strong opponent," Goku said. "Wow you're all really bad at listening." "Are you serious!?" Cap asked in disbelief. "You're the one who's still here looking for a fight! Either leave or we'll make you!" "I'm gonna be disappointed if I go back home and I didn't get a good fight, especially since none of you are really putting that much effort, and one of you is cheating," Goku said, gesturing to Stark at the last part. "Let's just kick his ass," Stark said, flying in to attack but Goku blocked and kicked him away. Cap jumped in for a kick, getting Goku from behind and following up with a two punch and a knee combo. Luna used her magic to lift up Goku and tossed him away from city where she followed after him, Stark and Cap also in pursuit. Goku landed on his feet, seeing everyone coming his way again. Luna send a beam with Goku deflected and kicked her as she got in close, then punched away Cap, flying over with a kick for good measure. Stark managed to zap him a few times with his lasers, getting in close and landing a kick to knock Goku back before readying a big gun. "PROTON CANNON!" As he fired, Goku quickly powered up and charged his ki, "KAMEHAMEHA!" The two clashed their attacks, Goku having the upper hand, despite Stark's attempt. "Your suit is overheating," the computer in the suit said. "You don't say!" Stark sarcastically shouted, sweating from the head. "How much power does this guy even have!?" Not wanting to risk any injury, Stark moved out the way as the attack flew past him. Fortunately Goku noticed and dissipated the attack, not wanting to risk it heading to the city. "You're all pretty good, looks like I can step it up a little." "Step what up?" Stark asked. Within moments Goku began to power up, letting out a powerful scream as he did so. "Something's happening," Luna said, getting ready for a fight. Within moments, Goku's ki spiked up and his hair began to transform into a golden yellow, letting out a massive aura. "What in the world!?" Cap asked. "What is this power?" Goku turned to Cap, smirking a bit, "This is what I call Super Saiyan." "Super Saiyan?" Stark asked. "It's a power up, it multiplies my strength by fifty," Goku said. "Not sure if that's too much for you, but you might be able to handle it if you put in a little more effort." "This guy is really starting to piss me off," Stark said, readying his ion beam. "Alright Goldilocks, why don't you put this Super Saiyan stuff to the test against me?" "Tony wait! I don't think you'll be able to stand against that energy!" Cap warned. "But I can!" Luna shouted. "I am an Alicorn Princess! There is nothing I can't handle!" Both Stark and Luna flew after Goku, clashing their ion beam and alicorn magic against Goku, the Saiyan putting his hooves out to block the attacks. Goku charged up some ki and sent it flying at the two, Luna getting a blast to her horn and Stark getting hit hard enough to lose a chunk of his armor. Both fell to the ground, leaving Goku still standing. Cap tried to attack Goku but the Saiyan quickly knocked him back. "You really want to keep fighting? Cap wasn't sure if he could win, but he also refused to back down, his pride as a hero not allowing it, "I can do this all day! "I respect your determination," Goku said. "Still, you do seem like a nice guy, and this really does feel like a misunderstanding. If you can't bring me Spider-Man then so be it, I'll just leave. I hate missing out but-" Suddenly two new arrivals made their way onto the scene, one of them speaking up. "You looking for me?" Cap turned to see the pony who spoke up, "Peter?" Standing beside Twilight, who had just used her magic to teleport the two, Peter faced off against Goku, the Saiyan man looking curious. "Are you Spider-Man?" Goku asked. "What if I am, what do you want with this world?" Peter asked. "Someone told me you were strong, and that he wanted me to spar with you, mostly to get you in shape or something," Goku said. "That and I just really want a strong opponent to fight." Peter was very much confused, and turned his attention to Cap," Is he from-" "No he isn't from Capcom," Cap explained. "Alright," Peter turned back to Goku. "Who sent you?" "Someone named Discord," Goku explained "Discord..." Peter now had to wonder what the Draconequss was up to, first Sabretooth now this new guy. "And what's your name?" "My name is Goku," the Saiyan introduced. "Alright Goku, I'm Spider-Man," Peter got into a fighting stance. "But you can call me Peter." "Sounds fair," Goku said, also getting into stance. "Let's make this a good fight." Twilight quickly flew over to Cap, who had made his way over to a hurt Tony and Luna. "If he's not from Capcom, where is he from?" "I don't know, but he's very powerful," Cap said. "And it seems like he's just warming up. What worries me more is that he seems to have a friend that may be just as strong." "A friend? Who?" Twilight asked. "I don't know, but Capcom is about to find out," Cap said. "If they haven't already." In the Capcom world, Vegeta stood over a defeated Cammy, Guile, Trish, Carlos Oliviera, X and Zero. Nearby, Nathan Spencer, Morrigan and Chris Redfield were standing back in awe while Strider Hiryu, Mega Man and Chun-Li looked to be almost out of breath, bruises all over their bodies. "Where could this guy have even come from?" Chun-Li wondered. "What even is he?" "He certainly isn't human," Strider said. "Obviously I'm no mere human, I'm a Saiyan Warrior," Vegeta explained. "I expected more of a fight, and I know you have more in you!" Morrigan turned to Chris and Spencer, "We have to help them out." "Yeah, if we come up with a more synchronized plan, we should be able to take him down," Spencer said, readying his arm. Before a fight could resume, three new warriors arrived, those being Dante, Ken and Ryu, the latter calling out to Vegeta. "Hold it right there!" Vegeta took note of this new arrival, "Well now, who do we have here?" "Ryu, perfect timing," Spencer said. "This guy just showed up and started causing trouble." "He says he's looking for strong warriors to fight," Morrigan explained. "He's very powerful, defeated many of the others in a few short blows." Ryu gauged Vegeta's ki, he could sense an incredible amount of energy, "That is an incredible amount of power. Alright," Ryu got into a stance. "Warrior, what is your name!?" "I am Vegeta, The Prince of Saiyans," the warrior announced. "A Prince, that should make things interesting," Ryu said. "I am Ryu! Come forth and face me!" "With pleasure!" Vegeta said, powering into a Super Saiyan, much to the surprise of the others. "He just got stronger!" Chun-Li commented. "Bring on your power!" Vegeta called, charging at Ryu, the karate master doing the same, the two ready to start their battle. > The Awaited Duel! The Saiyan and The Spider! > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Back in Equestria, Goku and Peter got ready for their showdown, Peter still a bit confused by Goku's presence, and a bit concerned about his strength. Of course he wasn't going to back down. Goku was also getting ready for the showdown, taking a moment to gauge Peter's strength. He seemed to have a lot of latent ability in him, so he had high hopes for a good fight. "Hey if we're gonna fight, think we can move a little further away from Canterlot?" Peter asked. "I'd rather not risk any collateral damage, and have ponies freaking out again." "Sure, sounds fair enough," Goku said. "I wouldn't want innocent people...er, ponies getting hurt, and if it keeps you less distracted then I'm all for it." "Really appreciate that," Peter said as he and Goku quickly sped off to find a more open plain, leaving Twilight behind with Cap and the two injured allies of theirs. "I hope Peter knows what he's getting into," Cap said, trying to buff the dents out of his shield. "I'm just surprised he's agreeing to this, Peter normally doesn't like fighting," Twilight said. "It's probably just his way of making sure that Goku guy goes back home," Cap said. "That man is quite strange though, especially that weird transformation at the end." "Weird transformation?" Twilight asked. "He had black hair, now it's spikey blonde, and it's not just an aesthetic choice, it really did boost his power," Cap said. "That's interesting...though I really want to know the reason behind Discord sending him here, and his friend to Capcom," Twilight said. "Speaking of which, we should check in on them, if they're gonna fight someone like that, they might be in for a challenge even they'll struggle with." "Even Capcom has their limits, I mean they're not even comfortable fighting The Justice League," Cap said. "Which, in a way kind of hurts the old pride, like are they suggesting we're an easier challenge?" "Wait, are you actually bothered by this?" Twilight asked in surprise. "Somewhat," Cap said. "I mean I have a right to know if they think we're more push-overs." "Alright, tell me then, would you be willing to fight Batman or Superman?" Twilight asked. "Well, Batman has no powers, I think I can at least take him," Cap said, then heard a snort from Twilight, the girl containing her laughter. "What's so funny!?" "Nothing, don't worry about it," Twilight said. "For the record..." Stark said, trying to get back onto his feet. "I bet I can take Superman." "Tell that to Sunset Shimmer, see how she responds," Twilight joked. "He has, she told him he was way too overconfident," Cap said. "It's not overconfidence if I can back it up, I just need the right suit of armor," Stark said. "Speaking of which, remind me to create a Goku-Buster armor, let's see that guy get lucky against me twice." Luna also stood up, trying to brush away the pain, "I have quite the headache. That accursed Goku, I shall have my revenge." "Try not to get caught up in revenge you two," Cap warned. "Not the hero or princess way." "Don't lecture me," Stark sassed. "Hey, should we go check on the fight?" Twilight asked. "I do want to make sure Peter doesn't get hurt too badly." "I want to see more of that Goku fellow," Cap said. "Maybe after he's had his fun he can tell us more about Discord and his plans." Further away from Canterlot, Goku and Peter squared off, both sides warming themselves up for the impending battle. "Hope you're ready for this," Goku said, getting into his trademark stance. "I usually try to be," Peter said, getting into his spider stance. "Gonna be honest, I don't feel as strong as I usually am, guess I'm still getting used to this body," Goku admitted. "Why did I turn into a pony?" "It's this world's magic, did the same to me when I first came here. Conversely if the ponies here go to yours they'll likely turn human," Peter said. "I should know, happened to my wife when she came to visit Earth, well my Earth." "Well, I still don't get how that works, but I am curious to see how well I can still fight, now come on!" Goku powered up and flew in to punch Peter, the boy quickly blocking, though it wasn't an easy feat. "Crap!" Peter stumbled back a bit. "Whoa, nearly lost balance." "Stay focused!" Goku went for a kick that Peter again blocked, this time picking a better stance and the hero followed up with a sweep. "Clever," Goku cartwheeled and jumped to kick. "But not enough!" Peter ducked out the way and quickly went for a spin kick that Goku blocked, the Saiyan punching Peter across the field. "Whoa!" Peter quickly used his webs to latch onto the ground and flung himself back at Goku, nailing him across the jaw. Goku rolled backwards and got back on his hind hooves, "You're fast!" He quickly rushed in and kneed Peter in the face, knocking the hero back again. "Right back at you," Peter said, rubbing his jaw momentarily. He quickly dodged a couple of punches Goku threw at him, finding an opening to parry and deliver a punch of his own, stunning Goku long enough for Peter to throw several punches in quick succession and jump kicked Goku away. Goku quickly stopped in mid-air, but Peter had lunged at him, driving both of his hind legs into Goku's abs, then rolled back and propelled off the ground diagonally for a punch that knocked Goku further back. Around this time, Twilight and the others had arrived, keeping far enough back to stay away from any trouble but close enough to observe. "Looks like Peter's fending him off just fine," Cap noticed. "He just needs to keep up his momentum then," Twilight said. "But something tells me that Goku fellow has much more to show." Goku made his way back to Peter, rotating his shoulder, "So far so good, you're a very talented fighter, you do martial arts often?" "Not really, I had some training but I only fight when I have to," Peter said. "I usually prefer to resolve things peacefully, but that rarely happens." "I can respect that, I enjoy a fight but sometimes even I know fighting isn't always the right thing," Goku said. "If I fight, I prefer it to be for fun, but I've ran into a few who do it for the sake of hurting others. I can't tolerate stuff like that." "You remind me of my friend and rival, Ryu," Peter said. "He likes fighting too, but he does it with honor." "Ryu? Funny I heard Discord mention his name when Vegeta went that Capcom place," Goku said. "Is he really strong?" "To me he his, guy packs a mean punch," Peter said. "Also, who's Vegeta?" "He's my rival, and somewhat my friend," Goku said. "Our relationship is a bit...iffy." "I've been there," Peter said. "Alright then, now to get back into it," Goku said, powering up again. "Give me your best shot!" Peter rushed in for some punches that Goku quickly blocked, finding an opening and getting Peter in his ribs. Goku then elbowed Peter in the face and rushed in for a punch that knocked Peter across the grass. Peter quickly stood back up and went for a kick to Goku's head, knocking him off his hooves for a moment but the moment Goku stood up again, Peter had did a spinning round house kick that got Goku right in the temple. Goku quickly spun around and punched Peter across the jaw. Peter then returned the punch, knocking Goku loopy and then hitting the Saiyan with an uppercut. Peter leapt over Goku, webbing his clothes and flipped over to slam Goku face first into the floor. He then flung Goku up and pulled him back in for punch into the air, then pulled him in again for a kick to the side, knocking Goku to his left. "He's doing great!" Twilight observed. "It's such a treat seeing Peter fight, he's extremely talented and he uses such great tactics. He's more than muscle, he's brains too, a great combination." "Peter's a gifted fighter, he thinks fast and usually knows just what to do," Cap said. "Helps having a great mentor, especially one such as myself," Stark boasted, getting a few curious glares. "Peter's clearly taken a lot after me." "You're an admirable hero Tony Stark, but you're also quite arrogant," Luna said. "It's why people love me," Stark boasted, everyone rolling their eyes a bit. Back at the fight, Peter had increased his tenacity, getting more precise strikes against Goku, mostly aiming right at his torso with quick punches and a few kicks to the head, then webbing Goku in for a jumping spin kick right to Goku's abs. "He's really stepping up," Goku rushed in for a punch but Peter had leapt over and webbed to Goku's back and pulled himself in for a kick to the Saiyan's back. Goku turned around to get a blow in but one uppercut from Peter stopped that plan with a quick block, even more when Peter got a punch to the stomach. Goku held his stomach, feeling a bit sore from the blow. He rushed to attack but Peter nimbly dodged, getting a kick across his face. "Looks like I have the advantage now!" "Not for long!" Goku rushed to attack again but Peter continued to dodge and elbowed Goku in the stomach and did a punch across the jaw, followed by a step-up somersault kick and webbed in for a double kick to the face. "That reaction time is incredible." The Saiyan quickly leapt back, trying to regain his composure. "Wow, you're good. Looks like I'm gonna have to step it up a little." "I say you need to step it up a lot," Peter slightly boasted. "Heh, watch what you say, it could happen," Goku said, then began to power up. Goku let out a mighty scream as the aura around him began to increase tremendously, the ground cracking and rocks flying. "What's happening!?" Peter asked in confusion. "Also what's with the yelling!?" The observers had shielded their face from the winds and eyes from the bright aura. Twilight peeked out to see what was happening, "I get the feeling things are gonna get harder for Peter." Goku let out one mighty roar and a gust of energy emerged, nearly knocking Peter back. When everything settled, Peter noticed something different about Goku. "Dude, what's with your hair?" Flashing only a smirk, Goku, his hair much spikier and sharper looking with electricity surrounding his body "Pretty cool right? This is my Super Saiyan beyond Super Saiyan form. Call it Super Saiyan 2." "Super say what?" Peter asked. "Super Saiyan," Goku corrected. "It's the ultimate form of a Saiyan warrior, it increases my strength and speed tens of fold. This form just doubles that." "What exactly is a Saiyan?" Peter asked. "It's the race I am," Goku said. "I may be from Earth but I was born on Planet Vegeta, like all the other Saiyans." "Huh? I thought Vegeta was the name of your rival that is also sometimes your friend?" Peter asked. "It is, but it's also the name of our planet," Goku said "Your friend was named after his planet?" Peter asked in confusion. "It has something to do with him being the Prince of Saiyans," Goku said. "From what he told me, his dad is also named Vegeta, when they conquered the planet they renamed it after the guy who conquered it I guess. I don't really remember the whole story." "Wow, talk about ego, who names a planet after themselves?" Peter wondered. "I don't know, it's in the past now," Goku said. "Now come on, don't slow down now, it's just getting good." Peter rushed in to punch Goku but his attack was quickly parried and the hero took a powerful knee to his stomach, knocking the wind out of him. Goku then quickly kicked Peter in the side of the head, sending him flying one direction. Using Instant Transmission, Goku appeared in front of where Peter was flying and hit a massive uppercut that knocked him into the air. Peter attempted to recover mid-air, but Goku was too fast and flew in to whack him to the ground below, the boy landing hard in a crater. Goku landed beside Peter, seeing the hero struggle to stand, "Don't tell me that's all you had." "As if," Peter quickly turned to punch Goku, but the Saiyan quickly blocked and returned the blow, knocking Peter back. "No, Peter!" Twilight grew worried, her husband was on the losing end here. "He's got this, don't worry too much," Stark insisted. Of course he had his doubts but he did want to keep Twilight from freaking out. Back at the fight, used his webs to fling himself to Goku, trying for a kick, though Goku z-vanished out the way and punched Peter to the ground. The spider hero quickly rolled back onto his feet and fired some webbing at Goku, getting him in the eyes, blinding him long enough for Peter to rush in and punch the Saiyan Warrior a few times. "Punching this guy feels like hitting a wall...or rather a non-super strength guy hitting a wall," Peter kept punching hard, trying to knock Goku off balance. Eventually the Saiyan had blocked and found the opening he needed to punch Peter hard in the stomach and then kicked the boy aside. As Goku took a moment to remove the webbing, Peter had quickly gotten back up and was trying to figure out how to pull off a win. This guy was strong and fast, there had to be something he could do. Despite how strong he looked, Goku was starting to feel a bit exhausted. "Why am I getting tired?" Goku checked his hand, or rather his hoof. "Maybe it's this form? This body isn't used to that type of power, transforming probably wasn't the best idea, but I did want to push my limits. I think I can handle a little more." Peter quickly sent some strands of webbing at Goku, which the Saiyan noticed and vaporized them one by one, but this distracted him long enough for Peter to rush around and flank him, catching Goku off guard. "Alright Peter!" Twilight cheered. Peter started throwing around a plethora of punches, knocking Goku into a brief daze. Goku attempted to get a punch in but Peter had ducked and elbowed Goku in the stomach and did a jumping back round house kick to the Saiyan's head, then spun around and windmill kicked him in the back. "Nice form Peter!" Cap praised. "You can do this!" Luna cheered. Goku quickly stumbled back to his feet, getting into another stance. "Pretty clever of you." "I've had my share of battles, so I've picked up a few tricks," Peter said. "Same here," Goku said. "Maybe I should show you something too, something a bit more impressive than Super Saiyan 2." "What? Is there a 3?" Peter asked. "Yeah, but that form takes up too much energy, so I'd rather not use it unless absolutely necessary," Goku said. "Plus in this body it'll probably just drain me completely. I'm going to show you something even better than that!" Goku began to power up again, this time a red blazing aura surrounded his body, much to Peter's concern. Seems like this guy was full of tricks, and a lot of screaming. "What's he doing this time!?" Stark asked. "Another transformation?" Luna asked. "How many transformations can one person have?" Cap wondered. Within seconds, Goku's once blonde hair was now red, but no longer spikey. Standing before Peter was a slimmer looking Goku with a fiery aura, "Not bad huh? I call this form, Super Saiyan God." "Super Saiyan God?" Peter asked. "Wait, are you a God?" "Not exactly, I was born a mortal, but this form gives me the power of a God," Goku said. "A mortal that obtained God-like powers," Peter glanced in Twilight's direction. "Kind of like my wife." "Wife huh? Which one would that be?" Goku asked, looking to the ponies. "The moody one or the purple one?" "Luna isn't moody, she's just...alright she's moody but only I can call her that," Peter said. "But my wife is the purple Alicorn, she used to just be a Unicorn until she solved some spell from like forever ago." "Huh, good thing I didn't need magic, I've always been pretty weary of it," Goku said. "Especially after that evil wizard caused so much trouble for my planet, and the entire universe for that matter." "That must have been one strong wizard then," Peter commented. "No, he's not the real danger, he just summoned a pink demon that really likes eating candy and has a weird stretchy body," Goku said. For some reason Peter couldn't stop thinking of Pinkie Pie, thankfully she's not a demon, though now he's starting to wonder. He quickly shook it off, mentally berating himself for being stupid, "We don't have anything like that here." "Count yourself lucky," Goku said, getting in a stance. "Alright, let's get back into it!" "Hold on, if you're gonna keep transforming, I'm gonna need my own advantage," Peter said, activating a secret button in his suit. Peter stood in a T-Pose for a few seconds, much to Goku's confusion. Within moments some armor flew in from the distance, latching onto Peter's body bit by bit. "Is that Peter's armor?" Cap asked. "From back on Earth when you fought The Green Goblin?" "And again when he fought Albert Wesker?" Luna asked. "Looks like it," Twilight said. "Goku must be really strong if he needs that armor." "I told you the kid takes after me," Stark boasted, getting yet another glare from the ponies beside him. Within seconds, Peter's End of the Worlds armor had been fully attached, the boy ready for the next round. "Alright, bring it." "Now you're using armor?" Goku asked. "Where do you guys get this stuff?" "I built this, just like my mentor Tony Stark over there did," Peter explained, gesturing to said hero. "You built that huh? I guess that's impressive," Goku said, once again readying himself for a fight. "Just don't be too upset if that thing gets destroyed." "I'll be fine," Peter said, ready to fight as well. "Let's go!" The two rushed into a clash, one that created shockwaves as their battle continued. Back in the Capcom world, Vegeta was absolutely dominating. Ryu tried his best to fight the Saiyan, but he could barely keep up with his speed and strength. Ryu went for a punch but Vegeta easily blocked, he then tried a kick but it again was blocked. He attempted an elbow strike but Vegeta parried and punched Ryu hard in the stomach, knocking him a few yards back. "Come on, is that all you have?" Vegeta taunted. Ryu stood up, wiping some sweat off his head. "Not quite!" He rushed in to throw more strikes, Vegeta blocking and parrying, getting Ryu again with a back fist. The Street Fighter warrior had rebounded and jumped with a kick to Vegeta's head, knocking him back a little, then taking the moment to rush in for his uppercut, "Shoryuken!" The attack did knock Vegeta up, but it wasn't enough to really faze him. Moving quick, the Prince flipped backwards had kneed Ryu in the stomach and punched him away. "You've got guts, but that won't be enough to defeat me!" Vegeta said. Chris tried sneak attacking him from behind but Vegeta elbowed him in the stomach and turned around to uppercut him hard, knocking him several feet into the air and landing on a nearby car. "I wouldn't try that again, your power is way too insignificant." Spencer used his line to grapple Vegeta, but the Saiyan pulled him in for a punch that flipped Spencer into a wall. Morrigan flew in with a Drill Kick but Vegeta had z-vanished, reappearing behind the succubus and elbowing her in the back, , then reappeared in front of her, punching her in the stomach and whacking her face down to the ground. "Wanna be a tough guy!?" Ken shouted, jumping for a kick, one that Vegeta stopped by grabbing his leg and throwing him against a wall. Vegeta flew in and punched Ken hard enough to knock him through the entire building. "Amateur," Vegeta mocked, then felt something coming and quickly dodged, that being a Hadouken that Ryu fired. "I'm still not done with you!" Ryu shouted. "I admire your guts!" Vegeta flew in and punched Ryu across his jaw, knocking him across the ground. "Yet still you won't last long against me." Suddenly Strider had appeared behind Vegeta, elbowing him in the back, a feat that Vegeta barely felt as the Prince turned to punch Strider in the gut and then uppercut the ninja. Chun-Li appeared beside him, kicking in the head, Vegeta returning the favor with a kick to her abs. Suddenly a Sticky Bomb latched onto Vegeta, causing a little explosion. From nearby Mega Man had a hopeful look on his face. "Did I get him?" Within moments, Vegeta had emerged from the explosion and kicked Mega Man into a hydrant, water shooting up from the ground as it sprinkled on all the fallen fighters. "Another fighter that's merely a machine," Vegeta said as he turned and faced another fighter. "You look strong." "Damn right I'm strong," Dante said, looking ready for a fight. "I'll show you what happens when guys like you show up to my world and wreak havoc." Vegeta admired this guy's spunk, and his energy was nothing to laugh at. "Maybe you'll provide more decent entertainment." "Wait up!" Ryu called, stumbling forward. "I'm not done with him!" "Ryu, you look hurt, just let me handle this," Dante said. "No!" Ryu stepped forward, glaring right at Vegeta. "Not yet! I'm still not done!" Ryu started to power up, "I haven't even begun to use the power of the Hadou." "Just ease up dude, I know you've been practicing some new techniques lately but even you have your limits," Dante said. "Then...I will surpass them!" Ryu channeled his ki, focusing all his energy toward Vegeta as he cupped his hands.. "Shinkuu...." "His power is rising, looks like I'm going to have to take this seriously," Vegeta cupped his own hands, aiming at Ryu. "Final..." Dante stepped aside as the two warriors charged their ultimate attacks, Dante hoping that Ryu isn't getting in over his head. "HADOUKEN!" Ryu sent out his signature beam attack toward Vegeta, hoping to put an end to the fight. "FLASH!" Vegeta fired his own perfected attack, aiming right at the warrior before him. The two beams clashed, both seeming to be even at first, but with a little extra push, Vegeta's attack had overwhelmed Ryu. Acting quickly Dante rushed in and moved Ryu out the way before the beam could completely obliterate him. "That was close," Dante said. "You alright pal?" "Thanks but I could have withstood that," Ryu insisted. "Ever the tough guy," Dante said. "Your energy's running low though, how's about letting me take over for a bit?" Ryu seemed reluctant to give up, his pride not allowing it. He wanted to keep fighting but he felt almost completely drained of power. "The power this man possesses, is this a power I can achieve too?" Finally giving in, Ryu turned to Dante. "Go for it." "Sweet," Dante walked over to Vegeta, looking ready for a showdown. "Ready for an ass kicking?" "If you mean yours, then I'm more than ready," Vegeta boasted. Dante charged up his demon energy, "Let's rock, baby!" As Dante prepared for battle, Sunset Shimmer had arrived through a portal, already sensing the power that Vegeta possessed. "Sounds like trouble." She looked back to the portal, expecting a few guests to come through, "Hope Cloud doesn't mind a potential fight, I gotta go see what's happening though and make sure my friends aren't hurt." Back in Equestria, Goku and Peter had aggressively clashed against one another, both of them were battling in the air, trading strikes and blows. Thanks to his suit, Peter seemed to be fairing better than before. "This suit of yours is pretty impressive!" Goku said, getting Peter in the stomach with a kick. "You really built this?" "From scratch," Peter said, getting a punch across Goku's jaw. "I have one for my human form too." "Not bad," Goku spun kicked Peter in the face. "Guess cybernetic enhancements aren't the worst thing, works for the Androids back home." "Androids?" Peter asked. "Yeah, some evil scientists turned a pair of twins into Androids using cybernetic enhancements, they were programmed to destroy me," Goku said. "Not to be nitpicky, but they'd be Cyborgs, not Androids," Peter corrected. "Still someone went through all that? Must have really ticked him off." "I did destroy his army," Goku said, going for a punch that Peter blocked. "He really held a grudge." "I've seen my share of baddies," Peter parried and went for a kick that Goku blocked. "They all went through great lengths to take me out as well." "Guess that's something we have in common," Goku said, hitting Peter with an uppercut. "I often find myself fighting villains, even though I'm not exactly a hero, I just like fighting strong guys." "At least it works out for you," Peter said, flying in with a kick to Goku's face. "I personally don't like fighting." "Really? That's a shame," Goku went for a kick that Peter blocked, but was open for an elbow to his gut. "You're pretty talented." Peter hit Goku with an uppercut, "I have to be, to protect everyone I love!" Peter aggressively punched Goku across the jaw. "I got a wife who's pregnant with my second child and a daughter who looks up to me, so I gotta be at my best!" Goku rubbed his jaw, smirking a bit, "I get that, wanting to keep your family safe. I have a wife and two boys myself, along with a granddaughter that my oldest son and his wife had not too long ago." "You're a grandpa?" Peter asked in surprise. "You don't really look like one." "I'll take that as a compliment," Goku said, then rushed in for a punch across the jaw, then a spin kick into a backflip kick to the ground below, Peter crashing hard, much to the concern of his wife. "Peter!" Twilight looked ready to step in but Stark stook in her way. "That guy's ridiculously strong, don't rush in without a plan," Stark warned. "I have a plan, fly over and blast him in the face with my magic!" Twilight said, gesturing to her horn for emphasis. Stark shook his head in disbelief, he expects Twilight to be a bit more level-headed than that."That's...an interesting plan but let's wait this out, Peter can bounce back." "If things get bad, we'll all go in to help," Cap said. "That's if Goku doesn't stop the fight himself." Meanwhile Peter was pulling himself off the ground, checking his armor. "Gotta crank this suit up a bit." Peter flew up and charged some energy. "Alright, if you're so tough, get a load of this!" Peter sent a massive beam at Goku, hoping it would be enough to knock him off balance for a bit to get the upper hand again. However Goku held out his hooves, blocking the attack. "Not bad, but..." Goku, after a minor struggle, had fully deflected the attack away. "Still not enough to beat me." As he said that, Peter flew in at higher speeds, getting Goku in the jaw with a powerful uppercut, then punched Goku hard in the stomach, following up with a spinning elbow to the face, then used his web shooters to latch onto Goku's back as he spun the Saiyan around and sent him flying back to the ground, leaving a huge crater where the Saiyan landed, the shockwaves felt for miles. Back in Ponyville, as he was training his wife in combat, Logan felt something odd occur. "What was that?" "What's wrong?" Fluttershy asked, wiping off some sweat. Logan could sense something was unusual, "Something's going on, I'm gonna go see what it is." "Need me to come?" Fluttershy asked. "Thanks but I want to check ahead on my own first, you stay here and finish up yer training, Laura's inside, you can ask her to help," Logan quickly dashed off, speeding toward the direction of Canterlot. "Uh, alright then..." Fluttershy turned to the cottage. "Laura dear! Want to help me with my training?" Laura peeked her head out the cottage, a somewhat sinister smile etched on her face, "With pleasure." "What did I get myself into?" Fluttershy nervously wondered as she saw the mare's devious smile. Back at the fight at the edge of Canterlot, Goku had stepped out of his crater, dusting himself off a bit, "He's not just strong, he's really clever too." Peter landed beside Goku, "Ready to call it over?" "No way, I've still got a lot left in me," Goku said, doing some warm up jumps. "I feel my limits being tested a bit, maybe it's fighting in this new form." "Why do you fight?" Peter asked. "Any reason?" "Not really, I just think it's fun," Goku said. "I love pushing myself and seeing just how much stronger I can get. It's kind of my hobby." "So much like Ryu," Peter commented. "Though, I guess it's a martial arts thing, bet even Iron Fist likes pushing his own abilities." "How'd you get so strong?" Goku asked. "I mean even without that suit I can tell you're much stronger than a human, probably not at the level of some of my friends but you're really high up there." "I got bitten by a spider," Peter explained. "Then I got super powers." Goku scratched his head in confusion, there's no way it was that simple. "Uh...is that some type of joke in your world?" "No, I literally got bitten by a radioactive spider and it made me stronger," Peter said. "You...were bitten...by a spider?" Goku asked. "So if a spider bit my wife, would she become strong?" "N-no dude, the spider was radioactive," Peter said, seeing that Goku was still confused. "It's a special type of spider." "...So if I found this Radioactive species of spider, then would it work?" Goku asked. "It's not a species it's..." Peter rubbed his head, trying to think of a way to explain it. "Look, chances are it doesn't exist on your Earth, only mine. Honestly I don't even know where it is or if it's even still alive. I just hope it didn't bite anyone else." Nearby Tony Stark seemed a bit confused, "I've noticed that those two seem to stop fighting just to talk at times, kind of ruins the immersion." "Not really, it gives the a chance to catch their breath in the middle of a fight, at least it gives Peter a chance," Cap said. "Even with his endurance, Goku's strength might be too much even for him, any chance he can get to recover a bit is crucial." Goku still didn't fully understand this whole spider thing, "Wait, so there's only one of these Radioactive Spider species?" "It's not a species! It's just some scientifically enhanced spider!" Peter explained, losing some patience. "Similar to the androids I mentioned?" Goku asked. "Cyborgs, and not exactly!" Peter said, taking a breath. "I really don't know how else to explain it so you could understand, it's just a spider that has radioactive abilities, it's not something that comes naturally to nature, get the point?" "Uh...sort of, I think. Anyway I'm getting bored, let's get back to fighting," Goku said, getting into a stance. "Have it your way, at least our fists are internationally spoken!" Peter said, rushing in for a punch that Goku blocked, the Saiyan going for a kick which Peter jumped over, getting a kick of his own to Goku's face. The Saiyan quickly dashed in and kneed Peter in the stomach, knocking the boy back, but Peter flung himself forward by his webbing to clock Goku in the jaw. The Saiyan went for another punch but Peter quickly bent backwards to avoid it and came back with an uppercut to his gut Peter recalled some of his training with Chun-Li from a few years prior and decided to whip out a move she taught him. Moving quickly Peter had kicked Goku in the face and started unleashing a flurry of kicks, similar to Chun-Li's Hyakuretsukyaku, or Lightning Kicks as they were also called. "Hey it's one of Chun-Li's moves!" Stark noticed. "Finally remembered her training." Peter ended the combo with his own spin of knocking Goku back, then using his webbing to pull him in for a jumping round house kick to the head, knocking Goku over and to the ground. "Too bad I don't remember how to channel my chi, but I have the next best thing." Peter got back into a similar position he remembered Chun-Li taking and held his forelegs out, channeling his suit's energy similar to how Chun-Li channeled her chi as he fired an attack similar to her Kikoken, only it was in the form of a beam. Goku quickly got up and cupped his hands, "Kamehame...HA!" Within an instant, he fired his own beam, this surprising Peter a bit. "Damn, he can do chi based attacks too, figures...and apparently he calls out his attacks too, guess it's not just a Capcom thing!" Peter put more energy into his suit, trying to overpower Goku. "Your suit's strong, but I doubt it's limitless!" Goku powered up some more, putting more ki into his Kamehameha. "TAKE THIS!" Goku's blast began to overwhelm Peter, the beam completely overtaking him and damaging his suit, knocking the boy back as he took more of the attack. "Peter!" Twilight shouted in fear. Goku could sense that Peter was taking the blow, not wanting to risk severely hurting him, or worse, he cancelled out his attack, taking a moment to catch his breath. "That should do it." Peter was struggling to stand, his suit was severely damaged, parts of it falling off. He rarely meets someone this much stronger than he is. "Looks like I'm gonna have to rebuild...damn." "Hey..." Goku got his attention. "Can you still fight?" "I should say 'no', I should give up, I don't even like fighting all that much," Peter said, struggling to stand. "But I guess my pride as a hero won't let me accept a loss. Sorry, but if you want to win, you're gonna have to knock me out." "So be it," Goku said, charging up. "Here it comes!" Peter rushed at Goku, ready to give it all he had. Goku with one charged up attack, zipped in and punched Peter hard across the jaw, knocking him back down to the ground, this time not moving. "No! Peter!" Twilight couldn't stand back any longer, she had to do something. That last attack really did a number on Peter. "That's it!" "Easy Twilight, don't do anything rash," Stark warned. "You should heed Tony's warning Twilight," Luna urged. "That beast is incredibly powerful." "Plus he's not evil so he's probabaly going to stop now anyway," Cap said. Twilight refused to listen to reason, instead she opted to take action. As Goku went to check on Peter, hoping he didn't hurt him too much, Twilight teleported in front of him and sent out a magic blast powerful enough to send Goku miles away, resulting in a massive explosion from a long distance off. "Holy crap..." Stark said, amazed by the pure raw power of this Princess. "Twilight's strength always amazes me, so much power in one little pony," Cap said. With Goku away, Twilight quickly checked on her husband, "Peter? Are you awake?" She nudged him a bit. "Peter answer me!" The most she got was a pained groan from the boy. "Oh Peter, maybe this fight wasn't such a good idea. How can someone be that strong? None of our enemies reached that level of power." "It's a good thing he's not really an enemy then," Stark said, making his way over. "I mean, imagine someone with that level of power as a foe." "I still wonder if he truly isn't evil though," Luna said. "I just don't trust him honestly." "With all due respect Luna, you don't seem to trust anyone from other worlds, you still dislike Capcom," Cap pointed out. "For good reason, have you forgotten how cruel even the so-called heroes were?" Luna asked. "But they apologized, that should count for something," Cap reminded. "Imagine if no one forgave you for what you did as Nightmares Moon." "Honestly I still feel like ponies don't trust me," Luna said. "Alright then imagine how they feel each time you treat them with such animosity, if you don't like it when it's done to you, then don't do it to others," Cap lectured. Luna started to feel a bit bothered by the way Cap had been addressing her, "With all due respect Captain, I would appreciate it if you did not talk down to me in such a manner." "I'm not talking down to you, I'm just trying to enlighten you on how to better yourself," Cap said. "I don't need enlightening! I am fine how I am, and I am within my right not to trust creatures from other worlds!" Luna said. "Need I remind you that I, Tony and Peter are from another world?" Cap said. "Come on, let's drop this already, you're both right in your own ways," Stark said. "Steve, you're right in that you shouldn't do to others what you don't want done to you. But Luna's right not to trust Goku because recent events have shown that each time someone came from another world, be it ours or occasionally Capcom, that individual, or group, usually causes trouble. So cut Luna some slack, she's a Princess, she's just worried about her subjects." "Thank you Tony Stark," Luna said. "Plus all this will become less of a problem once I finish up those Accords," Stark said. "I still don't think this 'Accords' thing is a good idea," Cap said. "Of course it is, if it were set up, then we'd have heroes stationed here to guard Canterlot if another invasion were to start," Stark reminded. "You're still doing hero work, but it'll just be more of a job, and this time you can clock in and out, keep some balance." "Being a superhero shouldn't be a paid job," Cap said. "I can't imagine something like that working." Meanwhile in another world, a large bulky man had sneezed. "Why do I get the feeling our way of life is being criticized?" "Whoa, whoa, whoa!" Deadpool pulled the focus onto him in Ponyville. "One Shonen anime is enough!" "But Wade, think of the possibilities!" Pinkie said. "I have, it's called 'If anime keeps showing up we're going to lose focus on the plot and I don't want to take a back seat to a bunch of weebs'!" Deadpool said. "The more these worlds show up, the less screen time we're gonna get! And there's no denying that the two of us are so underutilized that we're better off forming our own story, which would be called-" Back in Canterlot... "Hey I wasn't done-" In Canterlot...! "This franchise is suppose to be primarily a My Little Pony and Marvel crossover, now all of a sudden these other-" Deadpool was then sent to the moon where he would remain for the rest of this adventure. "BULLSHIT!" Back in Canterlot Steve continued to discuss the Accord situation with Stark, the Captain still disagreeing and Stark still insisting it's a good idea. Luna just stood by and observed, wondering herself if the Accords would even work, and how they would have prevented Goku's arrival, seems like no one would have been able to stop him if he were evil. Meanwhile Twilight was still checking on Peter, the boy starting to regain consciousness, but still was too hurt to move, "We'll get you to Ponyville Hospital, to think though, someone pushing you to your limits like this." "He really is strong," Goku said, suddenly appearing behind Twilight, the mare leaping in surprise. "You!" Twilight looked mad as she charged her magic. "You want more? I'll give you more!" "Sounds good to me," Goku said. "Something tells me you'll be a strong opponent, so I want to test my abilities against you." "Fine by me, if it'll get you off our world," Twilight said as she flew off, away from her friends, Goku following after. A few moments later, Logan had arrived, overseeing some of the damage caused by the fight between Goku and Peter. Thankfully it's nothing but grass but it's still a sight to behold. "What the hell happened?" "Logan!" Cap called. The mutant turned his attention to Cap, Stark, Luna and a downed Peter. "Crap..." He rushed over to check on his friend. "What happened?" "That guy," Stark said, gesturing to Goku, the warrior looking ready to face off against Twilight. "He's insanely powerful, he took on me, Steve, Luna and Peter, and honestly he hardly looks tired. Now Twilight wants her chance against him." "Who is he? Where is he from?" Logan asked. "Goku..." Peter said, struggling to sit up. "That's his name. He's a Saiyan from Earth, one that's not from any we've seen yet." "Another realm?" Logan asked. "I personally thought he was from Square," Cap said. "I'm not a hundred percent sure though." "If not, then there's a whole different dimension out there," Stark said. "Of course the multiverse is pretty much infinite so that shouldn't be surprising." Goku faced off against Twilight, getting into a stance, "Alright, show me what you can do." "Gladly," Twilight teleported behind Goku and blasted him, taking the Saiyan by surprise. She teleported again and blasted him down. Using her magic, she lifted Goku up and aggressively threw him toward a mountain, the Saiyan forming large cracks upon landing. "Way to go Twilight!" Stark cheered. "That's my girl!" Twilight flew in with more magic charged and sent a massive beam toward the mountain, blasting part of it off. She kept an eye out, just in case Goku would still have the energy to fly in. Suddenly Goku appeared beside her and kicked Twilight in the sides, he flew in to attack again but Twilight sent out another blast, one Goku quickly blocked, hoping to break free, but the amount of force she put in just knocked him back some more. Moving quickly, Goku unleashed some ki to knock the magic away, amazed by this mare's power. "You're really strong!" "I can get stronger too!" Twilight said. "Hope you're ready to lose!" "If you really feel that way, then I should really go all out," Goku said as he got into position to charge. "I'll show you my Ultimate Form!" "How many transformations do you have!?" Twilight asked. "Just one more! I just learned it not too long ago!" Goku said and started powering up, channeling a massive amount of ki. "What the hell is it now?" Stark asked, seeing the amount of energy Goku was bringing in. "I think he's getting strong!" Cap realized. "Can he keep transforming?" "He had black hair, then blonde, then red, what's next? Purple? Green? Pink?" Stark asked. "If his hair turns pink I will stop taking him seriously," Peter said, getting back onto his feet. "Honestly that would make losing to him much more embarrassing." "OBVIOUS FORESHADOW IS OBVIOUS!" Deadpool shouted. But he's not important right now. "HEY!" Goku's power continued to grow to the point where some shaking occurred, felt not only in Canterlot, but off in Ponyville, where Laura briefly stopped her training with Fluttershy. "What's going on?" Fluttershy, who looked a little beat up, had started to feel concerned. "Logan..." Lightning Dust had peeked her head out the window, "Anyone else feel that rumbling? Is it an Earthquake or is Avalanche back and being a pain?" Trixie also felt it from the Golden Oaks Library, stepping outside with Mayday, looking in the direction of the rumbling. "What could that be?" The Young Six had looked on from their school with Nightcrawler attempting to get them back into the dorms. "Come on, it's not safe," Nightcrawler insisted. "Hurry now." Cozy Glow also took note from the roof of the school, very curious as to what was happening, and if it somehow involved Peter and Twilight. "Cozy Glow!" Jubilee called, getting her attention. "Hurry inside, it's not safe out here!" "Ok!" Cozy Glow merrily floated down to Jubilee, but not without taking one more glance, her curiosity really starting to grow. Even from Wonderbolts Academy, Rainbow Dash and Johnny could feel something strange occurring, for all they knew, their friends needed help, and they were going to be the ones to help them. Back with Goku, the Saiyan continued to transform until a new Godly aura started to radiate on his body. Within moments his hair was once again spikey, but blue instead of golden. "His hair's blue," Stark said pointed out. "That's...kind of weird." "Spikey blue hair, why does that seem so familiar?" Peter wondered, scratching his head. Twilight looked a bit impressed by this form, but also very curious, "What's this suppose to be?" "Well, my golden hair was Super Saiyan, and my Red hair was Super Saiyan God," Goku explained. "My Blue hair is a can be classified as Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan, since it's a Super Saiyan version of a Super Saiyan God. But that's long and confusing so you can just call this form, Super Saiyan Blue." "I still don't understand this 'Super Saiyan' concept much, but I take it this just means you're stronger," Twilight said. "It's not just about strength, Super Saiyan Blue also calms the mind so I can focus properly, it properly utilizes God energy much better than my last form," Goku said. "A stronger God form huh? But I think I overheard you telling my husband that Saiyans aren't Gods, just a race of species," Twilight said. "Yeah, I'm just a mortal using God Energy," Goku said. "I mean if your husband trained, he could reach God Energy." "He already has something of an equivalent to that, just not official," Twilight said. "Unlike me, my horn and wings make me an Alicorn, the closest thing to a God in this world." "So you're basically a God too, interesting," Goku said. "Let's see how you compare to Lord Beerus then." "Lord Beerus?" Twilight asked. "God of Destruction back in my Universe," Goku explained. "Me and my comrade Vegeta are still trying to get strong enough to surpass him, meaning you'll make for some great training." Goku tapped his chin, "Wonder how he's doing right now?" Back in the Capcom world, Vegeta's showdown with Dante continued, the Saiyan Prince on the offense against the Son of Sparda. Vegeta went for punch to the jaw, but Dante had found an opening and clocked Vegeta with an uppercut. Dante rushed in for a kick but Vegeta had blocked and punched Dante in the gut and kneed him in the face to knock him back further. Vegeta then sent an energy blast at Dante, getting him through the shoulder, but Dante had fired an electric blast of his own through the power of his sword, knocking Vegeta back too. "You're strong," Dante complimented, dusting himself off. "So are you, looks like I'm gonna have to kick things up a notch," Vegeta said, powering up himself, causing a small Earthquake where he was. "Shit, what is this power?" Dante wondered, seeing Vegeta transforming. It was like nothing he's seen before as a blue aura began to surround Vegeta, the Saiyan Prince taking on the form of Super Saiyan Blue. "His ki..." Ryu commented as he slowly started to stand. "I...can't feel it." "That should be a good thing, shouldn't it?" Ken asked, stumbling over. "No...I still sense trouble with this power," Ryu said. Even if he couldn't feel the ki, the pressure was something else. He knows that Vegeta just got much stronger than before. "You got blue hair now?" Dante asked. "You look like a Hedgehog I've seen before." "That is the most ridiculous comparison I've had the displeasure of hearing," Vegeta said. "This is the power of a God, I hope you're ready." "Bring it Vegeta!" Dante shouted, powering up himself and activating his Devil Trigger. "Let's see how a Godly Being handles the Ultimate Demon Power!" The two clashed once again, similar to what Goku would do on Equestria as he commenced his battle with Twilight. > A New Showdown! Son Goku vs. Twilight Sparkle! > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- From her castle, Princess Celestia carefully observed the distant battle between Goku and Twilight, of course feeling great concern for her student. She could feel Goku's energy reaching new heights, wondering if Twilight's magic could even hope to overcome that. "Princess Celestia!" Came a familiar voice. Turning to the side, Celeta had encountered the God of Thunder. "Thor, you're here," Celestia commented. "How was your visit to Asgard? How's your father doing? I trust all is well?" "For now, yes," Thor said. "My father Odin is doing well, though he is at the point where he wonders how much time he has left. He's got life, but even that is finite, and he believes it's starting to show." "I am very sorry to hear that," Celestia said. "It is the cycle of nature, even one such as Odin cannot live forever, when the day comes where his life slips away, that is when I must take the throne," Thor said. "A heavy burden but one I must take." "Heavy indeed...what of the whereabouts of your brother?" Celestia asked. "No luck, Loki is a crafty one," Thor said. "However, there are much bigger things I need to worry about. My realm might be in danger soon, I don't know when it'll happen but I must be ready to fight off whatever evil that may plague it." "If you need help, we're always willing to offer assistance," Celestia said. "Thank you, but I think I'll be fine," Thor insisted. "Anyway I came by mainly because I heard Stark had big plans for The Avengers he wanted to show everyone, I hoped to inquire what it was," Thor said, then felt Goku's power. "But something is amiss, is there yet another Invasion of this world?" "Yes, a Saiyan called Goku," Celestia explained. "He came here for the sole purpose of fighting strong warriors, or so he says." "Sounds like a Capcom Fighter," Thor said. "But he's not from Capcom, that's what he insists at least," Celestia said. "I don't know which world he came from honestly." "Interesting," Thor said. "Has he caused much trouble?" "A little, aside from damaging my castle a bit, he already fought and defeated Steve, Tony and my sister, and I think he just defeated Peter just now," Celestia said. "Stark and The Captain lost!?" Thor asked, almost in disbelief. "Even your sister and Spider-Man? That...I almost can't believe that." "Goku's power is incredible, I can feel him getting stronger," Celestia said. "All that stands against him now is Twilight." "Do you believe she can defeat him?" Thor asked. "As her teacher, I want to believe so, but despite that, I do worry deep down that she might be in over her head," Celestia admitted. "Well do not worry," Thor said, taking flight. "I shall go observe, if things get too bad I shall step in. But I do have faith in Twilight Sparkle to do well." Thor took to the fight, Celestia contemplating on whether or not she should join him. Eventually she took off herself, "I gotta see if I can put an end to this myself." Back at the showdown between Twilight and Goku, the Saiyan had channeled his energy, ready to unleash it in battle. "Alright I'm going all in!, so bring me your best!" "Very well," Twilight prepared as well. "I won't hold back!" Twilight flew in and did a short spark blast to Goku, knocking him across the air, the Saiyan quickly skidding to a stop. However Twilight rushed in again and blasted Goku across the sky. She telepoted behind him and sent another blast, getting him in the back. Goku turned to attack but she teleported and blasted him some more, continuing the pattern of teleporting and blasting, hitting Goku at various angles. This tactic didn't work for long, Goku had read her well enough at one point to catch her with a punch across the jaw "Ow..." Twilight rubbed the spot she was hit. Goku hit hard, despite her power she didn't have much endurance. She can't afford too many strikes. "Don't tell me that's all it took!" Goku said. "Don't count on it!" Twilight teleported again, this time appearing over Goku as she sent a beam down at him. Goku was quick to block it, albiet with some difficulty, Twilight had a lot of magical power at her disposal. Thinking quickly, Goku used Instant Transmission to appear beside Twilight, going for another punch but she quickly put up a forcefield, though it still sent her flying off for a bit before she came to a complete stop. She didn't have long to breath as Goku was flying in fast after her. She sent some zaps at Goku, the Saiyan dodging each one as he got closer, ready to bring her down. Twilight had teleported again at the last second, dodging a punch and flew in with a kick of her own to Goku's head. "Barely felt that," Goku went for another blow but Twilight appeared beside him and blasted him to the ground with her magic. "Bet you felt that one!" Twilight taunted. Goku quickly got up and flew up at Twilight, forming some energy around his hoof as he sent a blast to distract her. Twilight quickly shielded herself but from above, Goku prepared another attack. "KAMEHAME-HA!" Goku sent down a massive beam, fully covering Twilight's shield as she plummted to the ground below. "Twilight!" Peter called in worry. "She'll be fine," Stark reassured. Twilight stepped out of the ground, her shield having protected her from the impact of the attack. "His power is incredible." "I'm coming at you!" Goku shouted, flying down at Twilight, the mare teleporting out the way at the last second. She sent a blast to Goku, the Saiyan taking it full force and getting knocked back. "That is one aggressive fighter," Twilight commented, flying in to attack more with magic blasts at her opponent. Goku deflected a few but took one to the stomach, and another to the face as he was left open for Twilight to punch him with a magic covered hoof, knocking him back again. "Take this!" Twilight charged her magic again, and zapped at her opponent. Goku deflected the zaps, then fired some ki blasts, which Twilight blocked with a magic shield. Goku flew in hard to deliver a massive punch to the shield, shaking it briefly, but Twilight sent it to ram into Goku, knocking him tumbling through the air until he came to a stop. "Her reaction time is incredible, and her shield's pretty strong," Goku said. "But if I can get one good hit then I should be able to get the upperhand." "Tell me you're just about done!" Twilight said. "I really don't want to keep wasting my time." "Just a bit longer, your style is incredible," Goku said. Using Instant Transmission, he appeared beside Twilight and hit her with a powerful kick that sent her flying across the sky. "Twilight!" Peter called out again. The Princess came to a stop, trying to scope out Goku. He appeared behind her again with his Instant Transmission but she quickly reacted and teleported herself, blasting him from the sides. Using her magic, she gifted herself super speed and flew in to attack with a double punch to Goku's stomach, then teleported behind him and blasted him to the ground. She used her speed once again to reappear beside him and spin kick him in the face, teleporting to the other side for another kick. She continued to teleport and strike Goku with various punches and kicks, enhancing her strength with her magic with each blow, ending with a mighty blast to the ground, forming a crater around Goku. "Twilight's amazing!" Cap said, very amazed by the abilities of this girl. "I mean, I knew she was powerful but..." "She ain't just strong, she's smart too," Logan said. "Twilight may not like fighting much but when she gets into a battle, she constantly strategizes, looking fer the best possible outcome." "Twilight Sparkle is full of potential, this isn't even the height of her capabilities as a Princess," Luna said. "It won't be long before she fully decimates that bothersome fellow." "Are you done now!?" Twilight asked, flying down to Goku. "I'd like to go back home." "Hold on..." Goku said pulling himself out of the crater. "Not quite, I know I can beat you." Twilight groaned in annoyance, "Look you're really strong, is that what you want to hear?" "Well sometimes, but I don't like just being told I'm strong, I want to know for sure," Goku said. "The stronger my opponent, the more excited I get. It just means I can grow much stronger and be better than I am. Granted, you don't really feel that strong, yet you're bringing in a lot of power." "I don't feel strong, yet I bring in power?" Twilight asked. "That sounds like a contradiction, what are you even saying?" "I can sense energy and power levels, not just of mortals, but Gods too now," Goku said. "I can't sense your power though, I mean I can sense a little, though it feels a bit unusual. Maybe it's because you're a pony and you can hide your energy, or maybe it's your magic." "My magic?" Twilight asked. "Yeah, your power comes from magic right?" Goku asked, Twilight nodding in confirmation. "Figures, I can't sense your magic, so this is going to be a lot harder, but what's life without a bit of a challenge?" "How familiar are you with magic anyway?" Twilight asked. "I've seen lots of magic, though my grandpa used to warn me about people who use magic, and he told me never to get involved with it if I could," Goku said. "But I've seen friends using magic, my Master's sister can tell the future through a Crystal Ball." "You know someone capable of clairvoyance?" Twilight asked. "Uh, no, I said I know someone who can tell the future," Goku repeated. Twilight face hoofed, "That's what clairvoyance means." "Oh sorry, words are not my specialty, you want someone smart you're better of talking to my son, he's a Great Scholar, been reading books since he was no taller than my kneecap," Goku said. "That's really nice, I bet you're proud of your son at least," Twilight said. "I'd be even more proud if he focused more on his martial arts training, but being a Scholar is ok too I guess," Goku said. He found himself on the receiving end of a glare from Twilight, "Uh...what's with the look?" "What kind of parent are you!?" Twilight asked. "Why does everyone keep asking me that? Is it so wrong to want my son to be as strong as I am? Even stronger?" Goku asked. "I swear you're way too obsessed with getting stronger," Twilight charged up her magic. "Time to knock some sense into you!" Twilight quickly blasted Goku into the air, where the Saiyan was quick to stop, though Twilight sped at him with amazing speed. She went for a punch which Goku blocked, the Saiyan quickly kneeing Twilight in the stomach and then kicked her aside. Goku quickly charged up his ultimate attack yet again, "KAMEHAME-HA!" Goku sent the beam at Twilight. Acting quickly she created a portal to send the attack through, the beam then coming at Goku from behind. He sensed and and quickly turned to block, but the force of his own attack knocked him off balance and left him open long enough for Twilight to fly in and blast Goku from behind. "That was awesome!" Peter said. "Go Twilight!" "You're a genius Twilight!" Tony praised. "A genius!" Twilight flew in to blast Goku again, then teleported him right into a punch from her. She repeated the process a few times until Goku started to predict it and blocked at about the fifth attempt, kicking Twilight back. He began charging his Kamehame-ha again, Twilight recovering and ready to teleport the attack again. However Goku disappeared from sight and reappeared diagonally above Twilight, sending the blast right down at her. Twilight attempted to put up a forcefield as the attack sent her flying down to the ground below, landing roughly and causing a minor explosion in the area. "Oh no!" Peter rushed to the crater where Twilight landed, the others following after him. Goku floated beside to check on Twilight, wanting to make sure she wasn't too hurt. However just as the Saiyan got close to the ground, he heard a voice call out to him. "Yo! Blue hair guy in the karate suit!" Goku looked around to see that Rainbow Dash had called to him, Johnny Storm by her side. "Did you do this?" "Uh...well I was fighting so I might have made a bit of a mess," Goku admitted. "Wait, who are you?" "Rainbow Dash, one half of Equestria's most Awesome Couple!" Rainbow Dash said, then gestured to her husband. "That's Johnny, the other half." "Most call me the Equine Torch, or Human Torch back home," Johnny said. "The Human Torch? So you were a human too?" Goku asked. "That's how I was born, you know about humans?" Johnny asked. "Are you a human?" "No, I'm a Saiyan," Goku said, then wondered. "Wait, do Saiyans count as humans? Do I count? I was raised on Earth after all." "This guy came from another world!" Tony said. "Not from ours or Capcom's." "Ah, a mystery huh?" Rainbow Dash asked. "So you came here to cause trouble did ya? Well now you gotta go through me and Johnny." "Well...you too don't feel that strong, but neither did that Twilight girl, and her magic was really strong," Goku said. "While she's recovering, maybe I can spare a moment to test the two of you." "You sound confident," Rainbow Dash got into a fight stance, ready to go all out. "Let's see you back it up," Johnny smugly stated, getting ready to fight himself. "Johnny! Rainbow Dash! Be careful with him! He's very powerful!" Cap warned. "He was too much even for me," Peter said. "You lost to this guy Peter!?" Rainbow Dash asked, checking out Goku. "What are you?" "Don't matter, maybe Peter just wasn't suited for this type of battle, but we are!" Johnny said, readying his fire. "Take this!" Johnny sent a massive fire blast at Goku, the Saiyan blocking the attack, using his ki to help. Johnny could tell Goku was resisting, he simply added more heat in an attempt to overpower Goku. "This fire's really hot! If I don't act quickly it might actually start to dehydrate me!" Goku quickly used his Instant Transmission to appear behind Johnny. He then punched the Torch hard in the back, knocking the wind out of the fire user. "Ow! My hand! Or hoof..." Johnny fell over and landed on the ground, holding his back in pain, "Good God that hurt! What the hell kind of power did he pack in that punch!?" "Johnny! Are you alright down there!?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Just peachy..." Johnny said, struggling to stand. "Lucky bastard, won't happen ag-" Goku appeared beside Johnny and kicked him away, sending him flying across the air. "Huh, guess he wasn't that strong." "You jerk! You're going down!" Rainbow Dash flew to attack Goku but he quickly blocked and delivered a massive punch to her stomach, knocking the wind out of her as she fell to the ground, barely able to move. "Guess they were't that strong," Goku said. Suddenly he sensed another oncoming attack and quickly dodged out of the way of Logan. "Whoa! Those claws look sharp!" "Damn right they're sharp, they're adamantium, the strongest metal known to man," Logan said, aiming his claws. "Think you can take me on bub?" "Strongest metal huh? Guess you've never heard of Katchin Metal," Goku said. "It doesn't matter, I doubt your claws are gonna do much." "Honestly I don't even know if I can take this guy, but I can't sit around and not try," Logan got into a battle stance. "Here I come!" He lunged himself at Goku, swiping his claws at the Saiyan. Goku was quick to dodge out the way, not wanting to risk those claws actually being sharp enough to cut his skin. "You're pretty fast!" Goku had spotted an opening to punch Logan, getting him right in the ribs. "Damn!" Logan held the spot he was hit, feeling more pain than he thought. "One hell of a punch." Logan tried to sneak attack with a claw swipe but Goku had quickly ducked and uppercut Logan into the air, knocking him back. "Not good..." Stark commented, turning his attention back to Goku. "Now what?" "Hey are you all done fighting or are you gonna try again?" Goku asked. "I mean, you're good but I might be a bit above your league." "Alright that's it," Stark readied his repulsor blast. "He's going down!" "Hold on!" Twilight called from the crater, coughing a bit as she stepped out. "I'm not done." "Wow, you still have more fight? You're tougher than I thought," Goku said. "Too bad I can't sense your power, your normal one feels...wait, hold on." Goku focused more on Twilight, noticing something strange as he scanned her energy again, making sure she really was physically alight to continue battling, though once again felt something strange about her power. "There's something I've been meaning to ask, why do you have a second power?" "A second power?" Twilight asked. "I sense another life...wait are you pregnant!?" Goku asked in disbelief. "Have I been fighting someone who's pregnant!?" "Yes I'm pregnant," Twilight pointed out. "Are you just figuring that out? Didn't you sense my power before?" "I mean, sort of, but I didn't catch it the first time, I thought your power was just unusual," Goku said. "Seriously though, you're pregnant!? Why on Earth would you be fighting!?" "You were beating up my husband! Naturally I got a fair bit angry and protective!" Twilight explained. "Uh...well that makes sense, Chi-Chi can get protective like that too, mostly toward Gohan and Goten, and now with Pan," Goku said. "Still, I can't fight someone who's pregnant. It doesn't feel right." "I'm still capable of fighting, my suit protects my child," Twilight said, rubbing her stomach. "That and I'm still fairly early in the cycle. I won't do anything if it would endanger my child." "Still, it's too risky, I'm sorry but I'm calling off our fight," Goku said. "Strong or not, a pregnant woman shouldn't be fighting, it doesn't feel right. Maybe it's because I remember when my wife was pregnant with my oldest son. Something in me kicked in that I needed to protect her and keep her safe. My son told me he went through the same thing with his pregnant wife, so I imagine your husband isn't keen on you fighting right now." "I'm really not," Peter admitted. "If you want to say you win, that's fine, I can handle a forfeit, wouldn't be the first time I've lost a fight," Goku powered out of his Blue form. "But once you have that baby, I kind of want to have a rematch, you're really powerful, you do some amazing tricks. I haven't fought such an unpredictable opponent since Majin Buu." "Majin Who?" Twilight asked. "Some pink demon from his world that loves sweets," Peter explained. "Uh, figured I should ask, that creature, is he still..." "He's dead if that's what you're wondering," Goku said. "Of course I did ask for him to be reborn, but as a good guy, so you might see him one day." "Uh...as long as he's a good guy then, I don't want anyone in my world or any other to turn into candy," Peter said. "That reminds me, maybe I should have turned you into an apple or orange, that would have ended the fight a lot faster," Twilight joked. "Hehe, come on, I like food but I don't want to turn into food, it was weird enough getting turned into a jawbreaker back when I was Vegito," Goku said. "Jawbreaker?" Peter asked. "Vegito?" Twilight asked. "I have lots of stories I can tell if you want, I bet you have some neat stories for me too," Goku said. "Maybe we can-" "Attention!" Came the voice of Thor, the Thunder God flying over with Princess Celestia. "Oh, you're back Thor, how's Asgard?" Stark asked. "Any word on your brother?" Luna asked. "Asgard is fine for the moment, but my brother's whereabouts still remain a mystery," Thor said, then focused his attention to Goku. "But I'm here for you, apparently you've been wreaking unfounded havoc for this world, care to explain knave?" "Uh...explain what?" Goku asked. "Explain your motivations for decimating this land for the sake of combat, bringing potential peril to the lands before us," Thor explained. Goku scratched his head in confusion, "Uh, can you speak normally? You're using weird words." Thor groaned in annoyance, "Why are you attacking my friends?" "Oh that, I came here for a good fight, the guy in the armor and the guy with the shield have good tactics and skill, but they need more power," Goku explained. "I can get more power, just you wait," Stark warned, Cap trying to calm his nerves. "The moody one is strong too, but she's too emotional," Goku said, Luna turning away in a huff. "Then that Spider-Man guy came in and really put up an awesome fight, even used a suit of his own that he built." "Was it the same suit you fought Green Goblin and Albert Wesker with Spider-Man?" Thor asked. "Yeah, but it's pretty damaged now, like obliterated," Peter said. "Which is fine, I already have replacement models in mind." "Then came Twilight Sparkle, probably the strongest fighter in this world!" Goku said, gettnig a bashful look from Twilight. "She's not physsically strong, but boy is she good with magic, she's even got some skills and techniques in hand to hand, or hoof to hoof combat. Once she has her baby, I want a rematch." "She'll demolish you," Logan said, stumbling back over to Goku. "I will personally see to it that she gets the strength to tear you apart." "The stronger she is, the more exciting the fight will be," Goku said. "I'll get stronger too of course. Hopefully you all try getting stronger so we can rematch as well." "Well it sounds like you've had your fun, now would you mind exiting my world?" Celestia requested. "Hold on, there's still one thing I'm curious about," Goku turned his attention to Thor. "I sense some power in you, including God Energy." "Well I am a God," Thor stated. "You may call me Thor, The God of Thunder." "God of Thunder? That's neat," Goku said, getting into a stance. "Let me formally introduce myself. I am Son Goku, a Saiyan raised on Earth." "I'm not familiar with Saiyans, but I imagine they're a powerful race, unless you're the unique one of the bunch," Thor said. "Well most of the Saiyans in my realm are dead, me, my friend Vegeta and his brother Tarble are the only ones left alive," Goku explained. "Not counting our sons who are half-breeds or my granddaughter who's...half of a half." "A quarter," Peter corrected. "What he said," Goku said. "Enough talk though, you seem strong, and I have some fight left in me, what do you say?" "That's enough fighting, you've had your fun already!" Celestia said. "Hold on my Princess," Thor said, getting Celestia's attention. "Perhaps we should indulge this ruffian a bit longer, I need to keep myself warmed up, there's no telling what my future holds, so I want to be ready." "Stand aside everyone, there's gonna be another fight incoming," Stark warned. Goku immediately powered into Super Saiyan Blue, "Here I come!" Goku dashed at Thor, the God quickly using his Mjölnir to block the strike, then punched Goku back, the Saiyan flying for miles. "This probably won't take long Princess Celestia," Thor said, gripping his hammer and flying after Goku. "Think Thor has a chance?" Twilight asked. "Yeah, he's got this," Peter insisted. Goku had halted to a stop, quickly dodging out of the way of Thor's incoming attack. The Thunder God continued to strike at him with his hammer, Goku jumping out of dodge and eventually kicking the hammer away. "Got you now!" Goku punched Thor in the jaw, knocking him back. Goku tried going for another strike but Thor had blocked again, this time with his own hooves as he got a punch into Goku's stomach. "Begone!" Thor punched Goku again, sending him through some trees. Thor summoned his hammer back to his grasp and flew back at Goku. The Saiyan flipped and flew in again to engage with Thor, eventually getting in a kick to his stomach and another kick to knock him back a little, but Thor rebounded with a mighty punch to knock Goku for a loop. Thor then hit an uppercut to knock Goku into the air, then used his power to send bolts of lighting at Goku, striking him several times and sending electric pain surging through the Saiyans' body. "Crap he's strong, Gods really are something else," Goku shook it off and used his Instant Transmission to appear next to Thor and punched him though several trees. Thor had halted in his tracks and tossed his Mjölnir at Goku, the Saiyan quickly ducking out of the way. As Goku focused back on Thor, the hammer came rushing back and hit Goku from behind, knocking him to the floor. "Alright, that's it!" Goku flew back up and began charging his ultimate attack, "KAMEHAME-HA!" Goku sent his beam at Thor, but the Thunder God flew through with his hammer until he appeared right in front of Goku and punched him hard to the ground. "It ends now!" Thor tossed his hammer right at Goku's ribs and summoned a massive lightning strike, using the Mjölnir as a power conductor. "Holy...shit..." Peter said from the distance, seeing the awesome power of Thor. When it was all said and done, Goku was lying on the ground, unable to move as he powered out of his Super Saiyan Blue. "Heh...looks like I lost." "An honorable attempt," Thor said, summoning his hammer back. He held his hoof out to the Saiyan. "Can you still stand?" "Barely, but I think I'll be fine," Goku said, taking Thor by his hoof. "Really should have brought a Sensu Bean." Thor helped Goku up and assisted him back to where the others were. It was safe to say that Goku was done with his fight, but that wasn't the only source of combat to be told here. In the Capcom world, Dante and Vegeta continued duking it out, the two warriors trading blow after blow, each one trying to get the upper hand over one another. "You're stronger than I thought!" Vegeta shouted, getting a punch to Dante's jaw. "Right back at you!" Dante said, hitting Vegeta with an uppercut. The two continued to engage until Vegeta had successfully parried an attack, giving him the opening to blast Dante against the side of a building. Vegeta flew in to follow up but Dante had blocked, though the force still destroyed the building's wall, collapsing a few floors. "Good thing people evacuated," Ken commented. "That Vegeta guy is something else, I've never seen anyone that strong." "It'll be fine, Dante's one of our world's strongest fighters, if anyone can win it's him," Ryu said. "Of course it does hurt my pride a bit, that I have to rely on another." "Same here, seeing our friend that strong, makes me feel like there's so much more I can accomplish," Ken said. "We've been so fixated on guys from other worlds, guys like Spider-Man and Terry Bogard that we forget there are people in this world that we also tend to rival." "That much is true," Ryu said, just as Dante flew overhead, Vegeta following after. "Of course I don't even know if even Peter or Terry can last against someone like Vegeta." "Think we should still try to help Dante?" Ken asked. Ryu shook his head, "We'd just get in his way, let him fight on his own." Ken sighed in worry, "Remember when Akuma was all we had to worry about? Life's full of surprises." That was a statement Ryu could fully agree with. In the air, Dante had summoned some electric demon energy and channeled through his guns as he started shooting at Vegeta, but the Saiyan had just quickly evaded and punched Dante across his jaw once he got in close enough. "Your toys can't stop me!" Vegeta said, going for another punch that Dante blocked with his sword. "You were saying?" Dante used his sword to parry Vegeta and landed an uppercut on the Prince. He then twirled and kicked Vegeta down, the fighter landing on a car. Dante flew in to attack with his sword again but Vegeta had blasted the item out of his hand at the last second and flew in punch Dante aside. "Galick Gun!" In an instant, Vegeta send his ki blast at Dante, the demon quickly trying to block, but Vegeta put more energy into the attack, causing the ground to rumble a bit. "Dante!" Chris stumbled over and aimed a Grenade Launcher at Vegeta. "Take this!" Chris fired, but the blast did nothing, Vegeta was barely even phased by it, "Is that all you have!?" "That batsard!" Chris looked around for anything that could help. "Could really use a Rocket Launcher right now, though something tells me it'll just tickle him." "I'm coming Dante!" Mega Man charged up his Mega Buster and blasted Vegeta from behind, but it wasn't enough power, Vegeta just withstood it. "These others are really getting on my nerves!" Vegeta said, still focused on his Galick Gun. No matter I just have to...hey!" Chun-Li had appeared by Dante's side, helping him push back, channeling her own chi to do it. "So much for Dante being on his own," Ken said, then turned to Ryu. "Should we help now?" "Might as well," Ryu said. "Come on." Just before the two could get any closer, Vegeta had cancelled his attack and sent out a flurry of ki blasts to the ground, knocking everyone back. "I'd be a fool to leave myself open, one their own they're no match but I can't risk them teaming up." Dante rushed in to attack again, trying to sucker punch Vegeta, but the Saiyan had grabbed his fist and punched him a few times before kicking him back to the ground. Vegeta was about to fly down and attack again when suddenly he was interrupted by a newcomer. "Hey you!" Came the voice of Sunset Shimmer, this getting Vegeta's attention. "Who's this now?" Vegeta wondered. "Have you come to fight too!?" "Sunset, get out of here," Dante said. "I got this guy." "Sorry but I can't just stand around and do nothing," Sunset said, glaring up at Vegeta. "I don't know how you got here or why you're here, but I can't stand around while you send this world into oblivion!" "If you think you can take me on, then by all means, show me what you can do," Vegeta said. "Sunset wait!" Ryu called. "He's very powerful, I know you're strong but even you might not be able to match his strength." "Don't worry, I didn't come alone," Sunset said, gesturing to the entrance of a nearby building. Emerging was the Avalanche Trio of Barrett Wallance, Tifa Lockhart and their leader Cloud Strife, the three making their way to Sunset's side. "Who's he suppose to be?" Cloud asked. "None of us really know for sure," Chun-Li said, getting their attention. "But he's amazingly strong, his power alone shook the planet. I'm worried what type of damage he could cause if this continues, honestly with his power, he could very much destroy the world, or at least deal irreparable damage." "Well he can't be that much different than Sephiroth, if we can take him down then this new guy should be no problem," Tifa said. "Uh, doesn't he keep coming back though?" Sunset asked. "And we keep driving him back, it's about never giving up and always putting your best food forward," Tifa said. "Ready Cloud?" "Just stay close to me, you three know what to do," Cloud said. "You got it," Barrett said. "This ain't my Earth but it's still Earth nonetheless, I won't stand back and do nothing!" "You three really want to take me on? Even with this girl that's not much," Vegeta said. "I'd much rather fight that demon guy, he at least puts up a decent challenge." "I don't like being underestimated," Cloud said. "No, scratch that, underestimate me, so it comes as more of a shock when we annihilate you." "You punks!" Vegeta flew in to attack, Barret starting off by hitting his Big Shot attack, temporarily stunning Vegeta, but not by much. "Is that all!?" Vegeta went to attack but Tifa leapt up and hit a strong punch that knocked Vegeta bit dizzy. "Not bad." Tifa landed alongside Barrett, "Quick, the Materia!" "You got it!" Barrett said as he used a fire Materia to blast Vegeta with a raging fire, knocking the Saiyan back. "Want to cool off!?" Tifa used an ice Materia that froze Vegeta in place, allowing Sunset to channel some power and blast the Saiyan. "They're doing it? Hell yeah!" Ken cheered. Vegeta wasn't too happy, he charged up a massive amount of energy, glaring at the newcomer group, "You're good, but I'm better!" He flew in and punched Sunset hard in the stomach, knocking her back. Tifa went for a kick but Vegeta blocked her strike and elbowed her face, then spun back elbowed her in the stomach, knocking her skidding across the ground. Barrett tried shooting at Vegeta, the Saiyan deflecting the bullets with his fingers and landed a massive blow to his face. Suddenly Vegeta felt some energy and quickly jumped away from Cloud attacking with his Buster Sword. "Take this!" Cloud sent some Lightning Magic at Vegeta, but the Saiyan Prince was quick to dodge and appeared beside Cloud, kicking him aside. Cloud skidded but used his sword to come to a stop, then found himself dodging some ki blasts. Moving quickly, Cloud rushed in with his sword and whacked Vegeta back, the blade not cutting much but still dealing enough force for Vegeta to feel. "So you like swords too, just like that guy over there," Vegeta gestured to Dante. "Almost reminds me of Trunks, wonder how that boy is doing in his timeline?" "It's a special sword," Cloud said. "Especially when I'm using it!" Cloud went to attack again, Vegeta dodging the sword strikes and getting in a few punches to the former Shinra employee and knocking him back yet again. "I'm just about done with you!" "Same here!" Cloud said, powering up and rushing in with another strike. Moving fast he started slashing at Vegeta from various different angles, moving at speeds even Vegeta found impressive before ending with a downward slam of his sword, a massive force emanating from the strike. "Whoa, that was awesome," Ken said. "The power of his Omnislash, works every time," Tifa boasted on behalf of her friend. When it was over, Cloud was seen panting, taking a few steps away from the crater he left Vegeta in. "I think he's done." "You did it Cloud!" Sunset cheered. "Way to show that guy, that's why you're...oh no..." Cloud looked confused and then turned around to see that Vegeta was standing back up, and he did not look too happy. "You gotta be kidding me." "Nice job," Vegeta said, holding his ribs in pain. "I felt that, your power is nothing to scoff at. If you keep this up, there's no telling what you can achieve." "Do you still want to fight?" Cloud asked, gripping his sword. His friends and the Capcom Warriors also looked ready to continue. "No..." Vegeta said, dusting himself off. "I've gotten my fill, it's not that I think you'll win, but I admire your bravery, I admire the bravery of everyone here. Plus I might actually go overboard, I don't want to risk any more unnecessary destruction." "So, you're not a bad guy?" Sunset asked. "If you asked me that a decade or two ago, I wouldn't need to answer, you'd already be dead," Vegeta said, that answer unnerving Sunset and her warrior allies. "But times change, and so do even the hardened of warriors. Being a father changes a man's perspective on life." "You have a child?" Ryu asked. "His name is Trunks, a gifted warrior, but a bit of a brat, I blame the codding he gets from his mother and her mother," Vegeta said. "I have another son, he's even more of a warrior than the one of my time, fights with a sword just like that demon over there, and the warrior who just showed me impressive speed. Needs a bit more confidence in himself though, but I have faith that he'll be fine, he's a very clever warrior." "That's impressive, but what do you mean 'of your time'?" Sunset asked. "It's a long story, you might not even believe me," Vegeta said. "We might," Mega Man said, making his way over. "If you're done fighting, maybe you can tell us more about who you are, and why you're here." "That's what we'd like to know too!" came yet another new voice. Everyone turned to see the Sun Goddess of Capcom, Amaterasu, along with her tiny comrade Issun. "Ammy here wants some explaining." "I sense God Energy, who is that?" Vegeta asked, then to his surprise saw the Capcom Warriors kneeling to her. Between her energy and the fact that everyone was kneeling, he figured she was indeed the diety of this world. Knowing how dangerous they could be from his encounters with Beerus, Vegeta also kneeled as a sign of respect, Sunset and the Avalanche Trio doing the same. The fights were over, but some things had yet to be resolved. > Is the Battle Over? Adventure Ends for Now! > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- In the depths of Tartarus, Discord was seen clapping his hands, amazed by fights in the two different worlds he had seen. "My what an entertaining set of fights we just witnessed," Discord turned to his fellow audience members. "Any comments? I just know you must all be brimming with excitement." "Excitement!?" Shocker asked in disbelief. "Those guys are monsters! They tore right through Spider-Man and that Ryu guy!" "Even Twilight Sparkle struggled a bit, that is worrying," Chrysalis commented. "To think it took Thor to stop the one who came here to Equestria," Mysterio said. "The other, even after that boy with the sword performed that marvelous attack, he was still able to stand." "That's what makes them so entertaining, their raw power is truly something to be mesmerized by," Discord said. "I'll say, too bad it's over, it was really getting good," Sonata said. "But what was the point to all this?" Adagio asked. "To build doubt," Discord said. "Think about it, if Spider-Man knows that there's someone out there like Goku who's that strong, it might start to worry him. I mean yeah Goku wasn't such a bad guy, but what if he was? Now he knows there's a world of powerful warriors, some good, and some evil." "So what, this was to keep him on edge?" Adagio asked. "In a way, I mean taking a loss could make a person doubt themselves, plus isn't it satisfying to see Spider-Man take a beating?" Discord asked. "Can't argue that," Shocker said. "Honestly, scary as that Saiyan guy was, I was rooting for him to win." "If only that were me who was demolishing Spider-Man," Goblin said. "In due time Norman," Discord said. "The pieces are coming together, bit by bit our time will be at hand." "We just need to keep building a bit more then," Chrysalis theorized. "But for how much longer?" "Just a little bit, see the best way to beat your enemies is not just from the outside, but from within," Discord said. "Peter has powerful allies, so even with our current numbers it won't be enough to win." "Didn't you get Loki on our side?" Mysterio asked. "He should shift the odds pretty well." "Loki is currently attending business of his own," Discord said. "I'm not sure how long it would take, but according to him, he might have a big opportunity that if all goes well, he might not be around as much. Plus Loki won't be enough anyway." "That's a bummer, so how do we bring them down from within?" Shocker asked. "That might happen on it's own, though I'll be sure to give it a little push, that and a little help within Ponyville itself," Discord said. "What, do you have a spy or something?" Shocker asked. "Ask Tirek, he might give you an interesting answer," Discord said. "I will continue to build our ranks, as it stands I am still trying to convince Wesker and his friends to join our cause. Of course he's very difficult to talk to." "Hey let me try, I can be persuasive," Adagio said. "If by that you mean you'll hypnotize him then forget it, that won't work on him or his friends," Discord said. "Well maybe Tron Bonne but without Wesker or Vergil, that plan will fail." "So any other ideas?" Shocker asked. "Well, since Square wants to involve itself, then I shall make full use of that as well, I have some ideas in mind. Plus, I may not be done with Dragon World." Discord showed off another image on the screen, that of the Kaioshin Realm of Universe 10, along with a being with white hair serving tea. "Uh, who is he?" Adagio asked. "That is Zamasu, Supreme Kai Apprentice of Universe 10, despite his Heavenly appearance, he has a bit of darkness in his heart, one I fully intend to exploit," Discord said. "Might make for an interesting ally." "What makes you so sure he'll join us?" Adagio asked. "Eh, not sure, call it a hunch," Discord said. "That isn't reassuring," Shocker said. "Just roll with it," Discord said. "Anyway I should be off, I have to get Goku and Vegeta back home, and plant the seeds for my next plan, ciao." Discord snapped away, leaving the other villains curious and confused, something Shocker spoke up about, "Anyone having doubts?" "We'll be fine," Tirek insisted. "Discord isn't planning alone, I am giving my own inputs. Let's just put a little more trust into his ideas, I promise to make sure they'll turn out grand." "I sure as hell hope so," Shocker said. "Now, about this 'spy' that Discord mentioned." Back in Canterlot, Goku was sitting in the Throne Room of the castle, alongside Thor, Logan, Peter, Twilight, Stark, Steve and Luna, with a recovering Johnny and Rainbow Dash by their side. Celestia sat on her throne, looking down at Goku, still trying to figure the Saiyan warrior out. Even if the fighting was done, she did not trust him all that much. "So Goku, are you satisfied with your fights for today?" Cap asked. "You bet, I had so much fun fighting!" Goku said. "I'm amazed at how strong you all are, especially my last three fights." "You are a gifted warrior, you put up a fight against both Spider-Man and Princess Twilight, and still had the energy to go against me," Thor said. "Truthfully I would have rather fought you while you were fresh rather than coming off two fights, that would be a true test of might." "Maybe I can come back one day, especially seeing how strong you are, especially with that hammer of yours," Goku said. "My legendary Mjölnir, a gift from the gods," Thor said, wielding his hammer. "Only the truly worthy can possess it." "Truly worthy huh? Wonder how that's decided?" Goku tapped his chin. "Think I'd be able to hold it?" "Would you like to try? Thor asked, holing out his hammer. "I'd rather he didn't!" Celestia said. "I don't want him to risk any more damage." "Huh? I'm not gonna use it to hit someone if that's what you're worried about," Goku said. "I wouldn't even know how, the only weapon I can use effectively is my power pole, I haven't trained with any other type very much." "What's a Power Pole?" Peter asked "Oh it's a staff I got from my grandpa," Goku explained. "Back when he was teaching me martial arts, he taught me how to fight with a magic staff that would grow or shrink whenever I commanded it to." "So magic truly exists in your world then," Luna said. "Yeah, tons of it, like my flying Nimbus Cloud, I think that counts as magic since it's a magic cloud you can ride on," Goku said. "Really came in handy when I was a kid before I knew how to fly." "So you flew around on a cloud?" Peter asked. "That's pretty neat, at least you don't have to be a Pegasus to ride a cloud." "Not just anyone can ride it though, you have to be pure of heart," Goku said. "But I think a few of you here could ride it." "...Which few?" Stark suspiciously asked. "Let's move on," Twilight suggested, hoping to avoid a petty squabble. "I'm pretty fascinated with the magic in his world. Like what else do you have?" "Well there's Master Roshi's Bansho Fan, one wave of it can create a gust of wind, three creates rain," Goku explained. "Weather controlling magic, seems like a powerful tool," Thor said. "And it belongs to this Master Roshi?" ""Yeah, he's my other teacher," Goku said. "I had a lot of mentors but Roshi actually knew my grandpa so I felt a bit closer to him, he's kind of like a grandpa himself. He even let me stay in his house for a while along with my best friend Krillin, though at the time we were more rivals than friends." "So you grew to respect each other over them then," Logan said. "Two guys under the same master, growing and fighting together, makes sense." "Yeah, training with Master Roshi was fun, a bit weird though," Goku said. "One of the first things he had us do was deliver milk to everyone on the island we were staying at, we had to do it every day." "Deliver milk?" Luna asked. "Every day? That was training?" "He had us do a lot of chores, said it actually helped with our reflexes," Goku explained. "He ain't wrong, lots of martial art instructors do something like that," Logan agreed. "Plus it gets you into a routine." "Well it worked at least, Master Roshi really helped me become much stronger as a kid," Goku said. "In fact he's the one who showed me that Kamehameha move that I used. It was his technique." "How old were you when you trained?" Logan asked. "Uh..." Goku was about to count with his fingers but remembered he didn't have any. He took a few seconds to remember before revealing. "Twelve...I think so." "That's quite a young age," Twilight pointed out. "You must have been a progidy." "It's common to train young regardless Twilight, plus I wouldn't be surprised if he trained even younger than that," Logan asked. "Ryu once told he that he's been training since he was a child, even I had to get stronger at a young age." "It's always best to start young, my grandpa trained me since I was able to walk," Goku said. "He was a really great guy, bit strange but it's what made him so likable." "You and your grandfather must have been pretty close," Twilight said. "Yeah, he was my only family, but he died when I was still pretty young, for a while I lived on my own until I met my friend Bulma," Goku said. "Sorry to hear about your grandpa," Twilight said. "Didn't you have parents though?" Luna asked. "I did...I think. I never met them, they probably died when my home planet got destroyed," Goku said. "Right, you mentioned you were a Saiyan from a place called Planet Vegeta," Peter said. "Wait, how did your planet get destroyed?" "An evil guy named Frieza," Goku said. "According to Vegeta, he ruled over the Saiyans, made them into his personal army to conquer other planets. But he started to fear us because we were getting stronger with each battle. Since he was afraid they would turn against him, he destroyed the planet to prevent that from happening. I only survived because I was sent to conquer Earth as a baby, Vegeta told me he was off planet on a mission with my brother and basically ignored the call to go back." "You were sent to Earth as a baby to conquer it?" Peter asked. "Like, where's the logic in that?" "I don't know really. My brother told me that since I was born with a weak power that I would be sent to a planet with weaker lifeforms to conquer," Goku said. "Of course I bumped my head sometime after landing and completely forgot my mission." "That's...very convenient," Cap said, somewhat concerned. "Still, I'm very sorry to hear about your home planet, that Frieza guy must have been one terrible person." "Yeah he wasn't very nice, but he was strong, made for a good fight," Goku said. "I mean it was a bit hard to enjoy since he was hurting a lot of people, really made me angry, but I enjoyed pushing my limits." "So you got to fight him?" Peter asked. "Yeah, I fought him out in space on a planet called Namek," Goku said. "It was there I first learned the Super Saiyan transformation. Happened right after the bastard killed my friend Krillin." "Your friend was killed!?" Twilight asked. "The one who trained with you?" Goku nodded in confirmation, "Frieza took sick pleasure in doing so, I've honestly never felt so angry in my life. For the first time, I genuinely wanted to hurt someone, I wanted to make Frieza suffer, the same way he made other people suffer. I'm not a superhero type guy, but if there's one thing I can't stand is someone who hurts others for fun. I made Frieza regret it before leaving him for dead on Planet Namek." "You didn't finish him off?" Luna asked. "No, I'm not like him, I wouldn't take a life if I could help it. Doesn't matter, he came back but he was dealt with by Vegeta's son," Goku said. "Still, that fight really changed me, I'll never forget the rage." "Well at least you were able to avenge your friend, he would have been proud to know you fought for him," Twilight said. "He's happy, he told me himself," Goku said. "Uh, how?" Cap asked. "Wait, can you communicate with the deceased?" "No, we wished him back to life," Goku said. "Wait, how?" Twilight asked, everyone else looking quite puzzled and confused. "There's one other magical artifact I need to tell you about, the Dragon Balls," Goku said. "Seven mystical orbs that when brought together, can grant any wish you desire." "Any wish?" Cap asked. "No limitations?" "Well, there are a few," Goku said. "Back when I first collected them, you can only have one wish, and it can't be anything beyond the Dragon's Power. You also can't make the same wish twice, meaning if you were wished back to life once, he won't revive you again. He also can't destroy anything stronger than him. You also couldn't bring back someone who's been dead over a year." "So your friend Krillin could come back once? And he's been alright since then?" Cap asked. "Sort of, actually he already got wished back once prior to Frieza, I honestly though that I would never see him again, which made me even angrier at Frieza. Luckily we had the Dragon Balls on Namek to revive him," Goku said. "There's another set?" Stark asked. "Yeah, the ones on Namek are a bit different, they could grant three wishes and they could revive someone who's been revived before, but for a while they could only bring back one person at a time," Goku said. "Thankfully they got an upgrade so they can bring back multiple people. Even my planet got an upgrade, so Shenron, that's the Dragon's name by the way, could grant multiple wishes too, and he no longer had the one year of death limitation." "Hm, those Dragon Balls do sound very powerful," Cap said. "But, they also sound dangerous in the wrong hands." "Yeah, that kind of worries me that things like that exist," Peter said. "Also when you make the wishes, how specific do you have to be?" "Just tell him what you want and he'll give it to you," Goku said. "He might ask for some clarity but he always delivers, same with the other Dragon Porunga." "So they won't try to screw you over or anything?" Peter asked. "No, they're really honest, if there's something they can't do, they'll let you know," Goku explained. "Well that's reassuring," Cap said. "Still, wishing someone back to life, that seems...well, that's a true miracle." "Worked for me, I've been brought back a couple of times myself," Goku admitted. "Granted once was through a different circumstance but it's all the same." "You've been brought back?" Peter asked. "Wow, that's something we have in common actually." "You got revived as well?" Goku asked. "Bit the dust during a big fight on Earth," Peter then gestured to the night Princess. "Luna here brought me back. Took most of her lifeforce." "Wow, you're pretty lucky then moody pony," Goku said, earning an annoyed twitch from Luna. "When a Kai returned me to life, he died from it. But thankfully the Dragon Balls were able to bring him back." "Please refram from calling me 'Moody Pony'," Luna requested, politely as she could. "I am Princess Luna." "I don't know, Moody Pony seems accurate," Peter joked. "Peter!" Luna scolded. "Come on now, let's be professional here," Cap said. "Well Goku, seems like your world is a pretty interesting place, full of incredible wonders." "You should come by someday, maybe we can fight again soon, this time in human form," Goku said. "If you want to fight someone, you're better off going against a Capcom Warrior," Peter explained. "We heroes aren't that eager to do battle." "Speak for yourself Peter, I am not turning away from potential payback," Stark said. "Next time we meet Goku, you won't be as lucky as you were against me earlier." "Hey if you can back that up then I look forward to a rematch," Goku said. "Speaking of Capcom, I wonder how Vegeta's doing over there? Maybe he found someone strong too." In the Capcom world, Chun-Li had finished explaining everything to Amaterasu and Issun regarding Vegeta's arrival. "So in the end, Vegeta only came to satisfy his desire to fight against a strong opponent," Chun-Li explained. "It was only out of sport that he came to this world." "Seems a bit weird, what do you think Ammy?" Issun asked. The wolf's only reply was a nod of her head. "Well she seems to be fine, so your violent new friend is forgiven." "Thank you for your kind understanding," Chun-Li said, bowing to Amaterasu. She turned her attention to Vegeta. "Alright, you're in the clear!" Vegeta scoffed a bit, "To think the deity of this world is a mere dog." "Hey, ease up pal, she's still a Goddess," Ken warned. "She's very powerful too." Amaterasu made her way toward Vegeta, glaring up at the Prince of Saiyans. Vegeta had no reaction, though he could sense this creature was indeed very powerful. He figured it would be best to watch his step for the moment. "I apologize if I have caused you any disruption," Vegeta said. "It's all good, gotta say, you're not as beefy as I thought you'd be, bit on the small side too," Issun commented. Vegeta didn't take too kindly to this comment, but he made nothing of it. "The warriors of this world have heart and power." "Yeah they are pretty tough, they give Ammy a good fight from time to time," Issun said. "Of course she'd rather fight by their side, count yourself lucky she didn't get here sooner, she might have messed you up." "I would have liked to see her try," Vegeta said. "Well then, I should probably go find Kakarot, he's in this Equestria world." "Ammy's been there, nice place, bit surprising to see another Sun Goddess," Issun said. "Hey red stripes, you're from Equestria right!?" "That creature means me right?" Sunset asked. "Yes, mind Issun, he can be a bit...arrogant," Ryu warned. "That sounds like an understatement, that creature's got more of a mouth than Cait Sith," Cloud commented. "Well yes, I am from Equestria," Sunset confirmed. "Great, think you can help our guest here find his friend?" Issun requested. "Not my friend, just putting that out there," Vegeta said. "To my wife he's a friend, to me he's more of an obstacle." "Some type of rival?" Issun asked. "Yes, he is," Vegeta confirmed. "My ultimate goal is to surpass him and remind him why I am the Prince of Saiyans." "Alright then, take him to his rival!" Issun requested. "I'll take him to the portal," Sunset said. "Would anyone like to come?" "I'll go, just to see this Kakarot fellow he mentioned," Ryu said. "Forewarning, while his name is indeed Kakarot, he also goes by the name 'Goku', if you want to know why, you're better off asking him yourself, he'll explain it better than I could," Vegeta said. "Alright, let's go see Goku," Ryu said. "Sweet, so who else is joining?" Ken asked. "Count me in, if Goku is as strong as Vegeta, then he's got my interest," Dante said. "I'd like to see him for myself," Chris said. "Same here," Chun-Li confirmed. "Anyone else?" "You four can go, the rest of us should stay here and clean this mess up," Strider said, taking in the sight of the damage and injuries. "Plus it looks like many of our friends have been injured." "I'm gonna need to go see Doctor Light," Mega Man confirmed, checking over his damage. "I'll go with you Sunset," Cloud said. "Tifa, Barrett, you two coming as well?" "Uh, thinking I should stay here for a moment," Barrett said. "Maybe I can help these guys out. You got he Restore Materia?" "No, Tifa does though," Cloud said and turned to his friend. "Mind giving it to Barrett?" "Sure thing," Tifa said, bringing out the magical item. "Here you go." Vegeta took note of the orb, feeling quite curious by it, "That's suppose to heal?" "Yeah, it's called a Materia, our world has a lot of it," Cloud explained. "Some can be used for battle, some for healing, some even help capture wild beasts." "Quite fascinating," Vegeta said. "Alright, let's hurry if we're gonna go see Kakarot." Sunset led Vegeta and the various other volunteers to the Portal Room where they would be transported to Equestria and reunite Vegeta with his rival. Unbeknownst to them, a warrior was observing from a distance. A demonic like being that was wearing the same type of gi that Ryu and Ken were. "Looks like I'm late to the battle...next time perhaps." In the realm of Equestria, Johnny and Rainbow Dash had both fully recovered from their attack, but were both in a pretty lousy move. "I'm never living that loss down," Johnny said. "Barely lasted a minute against him." "That guy isn't human," Rainbow Dash said. "Of course not, he's a Saiyan," Peter explained. "He packs a lot of power." "No kidding, how did he find out about this place though?" Johnny asked. "Something about Discord, not sure why he sent them here, unless it's to mess with us," Peter said. The portal to Equestria had opened, stepping through were Sunset Shimmer, Ryu, Ken, Chun-Li, Chris, Dante, Cloud, Tifa and Vegeta. The Prince however found himself transforming into a Unicorn after a few seconds in. "What in the world!?" Vegeta looked to his hoof. "Did my form change!? Hey girl what did you-" Vegeta saw that the others had changed as well. "I want answers!" "Right, should have warned you that if you come into Equestria, you turn into a pony," Sunset said. "Well usually, sometimes it's another type of creature but more often than not, it's a pony." "This is ridiculous, if I had known I wouldn't have come here," Vegeta said, looking over his hooves. "It's not that bad, you get used to it," Dante insisted. "Believe it or not, you get a bit of a power boost here, if you can figure out your form." "Power boost?" Vegeta asked. "There are three types of ponies," Chris began. "Unicorns, which you, Chun-Li, Ken, Sunset Shimmer and Cloud turned into, Earth Ponies, which Dante, Ryu and myself turned into, and Pegasus, which Tifa turned into. Earth Ponies have natural strength, so being an Earth Pony makes me and the other guys stronger. Pegasus Ponies can fly and had innate speed, which will let Tifa move faster. Unicorns like you have magic, if you can make that work then you'll make youself much stronger." "Interesting," Vegeta said. "I guess there is a bright side." "Ahem," came a voice. The group turned to see Princess Celestia. "I had a feeling you would all be coming." "Princess Celestia," Sunset bowed, as did the others, even Vegeta after a few moments. "The one with the long, spikey hair, is this Vegeta?" Celestia asked. "I take it Kak-er, Goku has told you about me?" Vegeta asked. "Yes, he is currently waiting in the throne room," Celestia said, gesturing to the others. "This way." As Celestia began walking, Sunset took this moment to inform Vegeta of something, "That's Princess Celestia, she runs this world." "Like that mutt back in the Capcom world?" Vegeta asked. "Please don't call her a 'mutt'," Chun-Li requested. "Her name is Amaterasu, and yes Princess Celestia watches over this world like Amaterasu does for ours." "Mind your manners and you'll be fine, she's very benevolent, but also quite protective of her subjects," Sunset said. "As a Prince, I understand how Royalty works, so you won't have to worry too much about me," Vegeta said as the group made their way to the throne room. Once there, Goku immediately turned his attention to his comrade, "Yo Vegeta!" Vegeta took one look at Goku, his rival having turned into an Earth Pony with fur matching his gi. "Kakarot, did you get your fight?" "Sure did, I had a blast," Goku said, making his way over and noticing his company. "Who are they?" "I met them in the Capcom world," Vegeta said, then noticed Peter, Twilight and the others in the throne room. "So there are more of you." "Is this your friend Goku?" Cap asked. "Not his friend!" Vegeta said. "Oh come on buddy, don't be like that, we're like the best of buddies," Goku said. "Don't make me gag," Vegeta said. "You're my rival, nothing more." "Goku wasn't kidding when he was telling me about this guy," Peter commented. "Seems like it, that other guy looks a bit more intimidating though, from the way Ryu and the others look, they may have had a rough time," Twilight said, taking note of some of their battle damage. "Well, better go introduce ourselves," Peter said, making his way over with Twilight by his side. "Hey there, name's Peter, and this is my wife." "Princess Twilight Sparkle," the mare introduced. "It's tice to meet you, I take it you're Goku's rival, Vegeta." "That I am, I am Vegeta, Prince of the Saiyans," Vegeta introduce, then focused on the male of the two. "You introduced yourself as Peter, I believe that's the name of the warrior Kakarot went to fight." "Kakarot? Wait is that his real name?" Peter asked. "Yes, has he told you about being a Saiyan?" Vegeta asked. "Oh yeah, he told me he came to Earth as a baby," Peter said. "And that his grandfather found him." "That's how I got the name Goku," the cheerful Saiyan explained. "The only ones who call me Kakarot are other Saiyans." "Superman's an alien too right?" Sunset asked. "Does that mean he has an alien name and an Earth name too?" "He would, yes," Cap confirmed. "You'd need to ask him yourself, if he's willing to disclose that information with you." "Who's Superman?" Goku asked. "Is he strong?" "Very, he might give you a better fight than I did," Peter admitted. "Sweet, maybe I can go to his world next," Goku said. "Superman doesn't fight for the sake of fighting though," Cap said. "If you had a hard time getting Peter to fight you, getting Superman to fight you would be a fair bit harder." "I didn't have a hard time getting a fight," Vegeta said. "Ryu likes fighting more than I do," Peter said. "I only fought Goku because he was causing some trouble." "And I fought him because he hurt Peter," Twilight said. "You had more than one fight Kakarot?" Vegeta asked. Goku nodded in confirmation, "Yeah, first I fought that guy with the shield, then the guy with the robot suit, and that moody Princess Pony." "I despise that creature," Luna commented. "After that, Spider-Man came in and we fought for a bit, pushed me to Super Saiyan God," Goku said. "Especially with that fancy armor suit of his." "Peter you used your armor?" Chun-Li asked. "The one you fought Wesker with?" "Yeah, then Goku wrecked it," Peter said. "Sorry to say, but Goku beat me fair and square." "Wait you lost!?" Ryu asked. "I mean, I lost too so I won't judge, but still, hearing you lose sounds unsettling." "Im a bit surprised myself, I was under the impression that Spider-Man was invincible," Cloud said. "I'm not invincible, who gave you that idea?" Peter asked. "I mean you did put up a good fight, so there's that," Goku reassured. "Right after that I fought Twilight, and boy was she tough, she has a lot of powerful magic, even as Super Saiyan Blue she gave me a run for my zeni." "This purple pony?" Vegeta asked, gesturing to Twilight. "Yeah, but I stopped fighting her once I noticed she was pregnant," Goku said. "Oh yeah, Twilight, you're fighting even though you're pregnant?" Dante asked. "That's kind of risky." "My suit protects me, like it did on Earth when I was pregnant with Mayday," Twilight said. "I'm barely over a couple months in so I'm good." "Just like a Saiyan woman, even they barely let pregnancy stop them," Vegeta said. "Of course, they usually place their young in an incubator some time after the child is conceived." "Wow really?" Peter asked. "That'll shorten the pregnancy time." "Seems like a waste though, part of the fun of being pregnant is feeling that bond with your child," Twilight said. "I take great pride in knowing I have a little pony growing in me." "That's so sweet," Chun-LI said. "Nothing like the bond between parent and child, makes me remember my father." "And my mother," Dante added. "I miss my parents too," Chris said. "But we're going off topic, continue Goku." "Well after fighting Twilight, I fought that Thor guy," Goku said, gesturing to the God. "He may have wiped the floor with me." "You lost to him?" Vegeta asked, looking over to Thor. He could sense some God Ki, and it was a lot. That would explain how Goku lost. "Are you a God!?" "Yes, I am," Thor confirmed. "I am Thor, The God of Thunder and Son of Odin." "You should see his hammer, really strong," Goku said. "Anyway what about you? Seems like you fought that Ryu guy, but wait which one is he?" "That one," Vegeta said, gesturing to the martial artist. "He's got incredible skill, but he lacks the power we have. However with more training he could be unstoppable." "Hey maybe he can learn to use God Energy just like us," Goku said. "Is that possible?" Ryu asked. "Sure is, even a mortal can become as strong as a God," Goku said. "If you trained with God Energy, I guarantee you'd be very satisfied." "Hm...God energy huh?" Ryu checked his hoof as he clenched it into a pony fist. "A new goal then." "Maybe Amaterasu can give you some pointers," Dante suggested. "If she's willing." "I'll make it work," Ryu said. "He wasn't the only one I fought, I fought everyone else here, the only ones who really gave me any decent fight were the boy in the red jacket and the other boy in black," Vegeta said. "Name's Dante," the warrior greeted. Goku didn't seem to trusting of Dante, especially not after checking his ki, "Something about your energy feels a bit ominous." "Probably because I'm half demon," Dante confirmed. "Don't worry, I'm not one of the bad ones, at least I try to be. I follow the example my human mother taught me." "Well, as long as you're not hurting anyone, at least people who can't fight back," Goku said, then turned to Cloud. "Hm...I'm not feeling a lot from you, unless you also use magic." "I do," Cloud confirmed, bringing a materia out. "This helps, but don't let that fool you, I can crank up my natural abilities when I need to." "Sounds neat, I'd like to test your power myself someday," Goku said. "Maybe next time I can go to the Capcom world." "I'm actually not from Capcom, I was brought there by Sunset Shimmer," Cloud explained. "I'm from Square." "Another world?" Goku asked. "That reminds me," Cap said. "We actually believed Goku came from Square. Cloud, can you confirm that they're not?" "I've never seen them, or heard of them," Cloud said. "I would have known about them if they were from my world." "Meaning they're from another world entirely," Tifa said. "One even we've never been to," Ryu added. "I've never heard of Saiyans." "So that rules out any place you've been to," Peter said. "Though we could try asking, I mean you have access to these worlds Ryu, maybe you can get in contact with them. Or Chun-Li since that's more her specialty." "I seem to remember one girl from Namco named Rita Mordio saying her world of Terca Lumireis didn't actually exist in the main realm of her world, but rather it felt like a realm all to her own," Twilight said. "Mind repeating that in a way we can all understand?" Johnny suggested. "Think of it like Asgard, its part of Marvel Earth but not a direct part of it," Twilight said. "It's a realm within your realm, Rita told me that's how her world was, a realm within her realm. For all we know, Goku and Vegeta could come from a world like that, a realm within another realm." "Uh, right..." Johnny said, scratching his head. "This multiverse stuff is way too complicated." "Try traveling to these places," Chun-Li said. "It's not as connected as all of you might think, some warriors exist in different timelines in these realms, ours included." "Rock's allies X and Zero technically come from a future timeline in our world," Chun-Li explained. "There's been some stuff like that in our world too," Cloud explained. "I've seen my share of time traveling, like that Spider-Man from the future," Peter said. "Speaking of future, even this world has the one with rebel leader Sweetie Belle." "So you've all done time traveling?" Goku asked. "Wow, just like Trunks." "Vegeta's son?" Chun-Li asked. "That other son I mentioned before, he's Trunks from the future of our world, one where myself, Kakarot and all our other allies are dead," Vegeta said. "He came back in time to warn us about the Androids that killed us all," Goku said. "Cyborgs!" Peter corrected. "Also what do you mean 'us'?" Vegeta said. "By the time they showed up, you were already dead due to some stupid virus." "Oh yeah...that's a real lousy way to go," Goku said. "Really glad Trunks gave me that cure." "Point is my son came back to help, granted his time traveling created something of a 'Butterfly Effect', so by changing the past he drastically altered the future, resulting in a much more dangerous monster to appear," Vegeta said. "Yeah, Cell," Goku said. "Luckily my son Gohan was able to defeat him and save the world." "Is your son as strong as you Goku?" Dante asked. "He used to be stronger, but he stopped fighting to focus on being a Great Scholar," Goku said. "Sounds respectable," Chun-Li said. "A good warrior isn't just about fighting." "He barely fights anymore, too much coddling from his mother," Vegeta said. "Seems like a waste of talent." "There's nothing wasteful about that!" Twilight insisted. "Just because he's strong doesn't mean he has to be a fighter! Peter's strong yet he wants to be a Chemist! Or a Physics Specialist!" "I am really into that stuff, as a young boy, I learned that I could do as much for the world in a lab coat as I do in tights," Peter said. "Wow, deep stuff," Ken said. "Never knew you wanted to be a scientist type guy." "Well my Superhero life came along and things got put on hold," Peter said. "Not sure for how much longer." "Just don't give up on that dream," Barret said. "Someone with your smarts can make a huge difference," Ryu said. "Intelligence is a talent too, something Goku's son seems to be exploiting." "Hey it's great that Gohan wants to be a Scholar, he's really happy about it and he enjoys what he does," Goku said. "I just wish he'd balance it out, I mean who wants to do the same thing all the time?" "Like you and fighting?" Vegeta asked. "Hey! You like fighting too Vegeta!" Goku pointed out. "Also I don't just fight, I am a farmer Vegeta, so I do stuff outside of fighting." "Speaking of farming, we should check on Applejack soon, same with the others," Logan said. "During the fight there was rumblings going on in Ponyville, the ponies there must be pretty startled." "Oh yeah, I also have to check on the students," Twilight said. "I hope they're not too scared." "Jubilee and Nightcrawler should be watching over them," Rainbow Dash said. "They'll keep the kids calm." "There was a bit of an Earth Quake in our world as well," Ryu said. "Hopefully no one there is too startled either." "I gotta check in on Jill later, see if it impacted where she was," Chris said. "Where is she?" Peter asked. "She went to investigate a potential B.O.W. outbreak with Frank West," Chris explained. "Hopefully it's nothing but better safe than sorry." "Maybe I should check up on Lady," Dante said. "She mentioned having to go somewhere urgent, didn't explain much though, but I hope she's safe as well." "We should probably go check ASAP, question is how to get Goku and Vegeta home," Cap said. "Oh I can handle that part," came Discord's voice. The spirit of chaos popped in, waving at everyone. "Hello." "Discord!?" Twilight shouted in disbelief. "Where did you come from?" "It all started with my mother..." Discord began. "Not that part!" Twilight angrily said. "I mean how long have you been waiting to pop in?" "Oh...a while," Discord said, keeping it vague. "I don't want to bore you with details, I'll just take my Saiyan friends and be leaving." "Hey you're not leaving without some answers pal!" Stark said. "Yeah, for starters, why did you send Goku and Vegeta to our worlds?" Twilight asked. "Hm, I could tell you, but then you'd know why," Discord said. "Then we'd know-" Twilight could barely comprehend that response. "Excuse me!?" "What kind of bullshit answer is that!?" Stark asked. "My, my, such language, and kids look up to you?" Discord said. "He has a point," Cap said. "Shut up Steve," Stark said, then focused back on Discord. "Look pal, I don't care if you're some freakish chaos demon or whatever." Stark readied his repulsor blast. "I want answers, and I'm going to get them!" "Tony, let's not fight, I don't want to risk any more damage to my castle," Celestia said, then focused her attention on Discord. "But I too want some answers. For starters, did you have anything to do with the string of invasions we've endured over the past year?" "I'd love to know if you were the one who sent Creed here," Logan said, readying his claws. "And Mysterio," Peter said. "What about Nemesis? Have you been to our world?" Chris asked. "When did this turn into a Q&A? Next you'll be asking for my shoe size," Discord joked. "Everything I do has a point...or does it? I mean, I am an agent for chaos, for all you know I could just be doing this for fun, just for the laughs and merriment. Then again, maybe I do have an ulterior motive, one that involves a scheme so grand, it could affect the future of four worlds, or five, or six, it all depends," Discord sinisterly smirked. "Of course, only I know the answer to that, but fear not, I won't keep you out of the loop forever, think of it like a surprise party, if Pinkie Pie were in the room she'd understand." "I swear this freaking guy reminds me of Jester," Dante said, grabbing his guns. "Anyone who talks as much as him deserves to die." "That's harsh, don't know if I like you Capcom guys, at least our buddies at Marvel have something of a funny bone, aside from Iron Man," Discord said. "Yeah just keep giving me reasons pal," Stark warned, still aiming his repulsor blast. "Hey now, no fighting, Celestia's orders," Discord said. "After all Tony, you wouldn't want to upset a woman who's not only this world's ruler, but very closely associated with your team leader." "Alright first off, I have no leader, Steve's more of a partner than a guy I take orders from," Stark said. "Second I'll do what I have to do to keep things in line." "Don't let him get to you Iron Man," Chun-Li said, then focused back on Discord. "As for you, I have half a mind to take you down myself just for sending Vegeta to our world, if you were indeed responsible for everything else..." "Oh my, I'm shaking in my boots!" Discord poofed a giant pair of boots for emphasis. "I wouldn't want to upset Chun-Li, the leader of Capcom." "Leader?" Dante asked, then shook his head. "No, not gonna fall for that again." "How strong willed you are," Discord said. He quickly turned his attention to the Avalanche Duo "Hm...thinking about it, kind of wish that Terra Branford girl was here instead of you and your other friends, her enemies are a bit more interesting." "Hey how much of our world do you know about?" Tifa asked. "Oh...a bit," Discord said, then snapped his fingers. "That'll leave a nice surprise." "H-hey, what did you just do!?" Cap asked. "You'll find out soon, ciao," with another snap, he vanished along with Goku and Vegeta. "Did he just take the Saiyans?" Twilight asked. "Shoot, I was hoping to talk to them a bit more." "That is one strange creature," Ryu said. "What is he anyway?" Cloud asked. "He's the spirit of chaos, not too different from Loki of Marvel," Twilight said. "Speaking of which, none of us have found Loki since his invasion of The Crystal Empire." "I'm still looking around, I will have my brother back in captivity soon," Thor said "Well, now that they're all gone, let's survey the damage," Stark said. "See what needs fixing." "I'm on it," Cap said. "We should head back to our world as well," Chun-Li said. "Cloud, Tifa, are you coming?" "Sure, why not?" Cloud said. "Tifa, you both good with that?" "Yeah, I'm good with that," Tifa said. "Your help is appreciated," Ryu said, then focused back on Peter and Twilight. "If you two encounter Discord again, do not hesitate to let me know." "We won't," Twilight said. "Let us know if he appears in your world." "We should hurry and look around," Logan said. "Discord did something else before he left, lets make sure nothing is missing, or that we have an uninvited guest." "I just hope whatever he did, it won't be too bad..." Sunset said, hoping that her feeling of dread was nothing to worry about. Meanwhile Deadpool was in the middle of a meadow, the ninja highly confused as to how he got there, and the fact that he was human. "Something weird's going on," Deadpool looked around. "Hello!? Pinkie Pie!? Anyone around!?" Deadpool started walking. "Uh, I don't suppose you're out there Cable! Is this a prank you're pulling!?" Deadpool crossed his arms in curiousity. "Let's see, first I was in Sugarcube Corner, then I ended up on the moon for some reason, now I'm on Earth, what could this mean?" The ninja shrugged it off, "Anyway whatever's happening, I think I'll be fine, I just gotta find a portal and..." An ominous feeling overtook Deadpool. “Why do I hear boss music?" The skies began to darken as an ominous set of clouds blocked the sunlight, Deadpool frantically looking around in worry and fear of what's to happen next. He grabbed his katanas, ready to fight what came his way. "Whatever it is, I gotta be ready to fight! Deadpool backs down from no man!" Deadpool said. Then from the skies came a figure in black, upon closer inspection Deadpool could see long silver hair and a sword much longer than his own two. The feeling of a smaller sword made him feel slightly inadequet, especially compared to the man's good looks. "Oh no, a tall, sexy man is coming from the sky! This should be any girl's dream but for me it's a nigthmare! This guy might steal my literal waifu! I have to get home and make sure Pinkie Pie never sees his sexiness! I won't let my marriage feel despair!" Deadpool began to run to find a portal, any portal he could find. "Gotta find a way home, gotta find...oh man! The music's getting louder!" 'Estuans interius, Ira vehementi! Estuans interius, Ira vehementi, Sephiroth!' "Oh no! It has lyrics too!? In latin!?" Deadpool continued to run. "Make it stop!" Deadpool kept running as the man in question descended down, having Deadpool locked on his sights. "Interesting..." Deadpool kept running until he spotted a random portal with Pinkie Pie on the other side. "Hurry Wade!" "I'm coming! I'm coming!" Deadpool said. "Heh, out of context that might sound sexy." Deadpool saw the oncoming man. "Oh no! The music's getting intense! Like if Planet Jupiter just got destroyed!" "This way Wade! Hurry up and..." Pinkie noticed the man in question. "Oh who's that, he's kind of cute." "Shield your eyes!" Deadpool shouted as he jumped through the portal with Pinkie Pie. He used his Katana to completely destroy it. "How'd you do that with just your sword?" Pinkie asked. "I have absolutely no idea!" Deadpool said. "But you're safe, that incredibly sexy man can't seduce you now." "Who was that anyway?" Pinkie Pie asked. 'SEPHIROTH!' "...That might have answered our question," Deadpool said, before collapsing in exhaustion. "I need a drink." Outside where the portal was, Sephiroth was rubbing his chin in curiosity, "I sense a strange magic." Sensing something else, he turned his attention to the side. "What business do you have with me?" Nearby was Discord, who after abruptly dropping off Goku and Vegeta, quickly came to Square. "Seems like that world peaked your interest, maybe we can help each other out." In the Dragon World, Goku and Vegeta returned to Capsule Corp, the Prince feeling a bit irritated. "The nerve, plopping Kakarot and myself to the ground and barely sticking around for any questions, like he had somewhere to be." "He did say it could work out for us, maybe he's looking for another strong opponent. I just hope we can go back to Equestria some day," Goku said. "Or any of the other worlds. I want to fight the guys you did, and you'll love fighting Peter, Twilight and Thor." "I am rather curious about them, especially Thor," Vegeta said. "We should contact Whis, have him bring us over to Beerus's planet." "Oh you're actually inviting me this time? That's nice," Goku said. "Of course, I need a punching bag to test my power," Vegeta boasted. Goku didn't take too kindly to that at first, but just smiled it off, "Well this 'punching bag' can fight back, hope you're ready for that." "Of course," Vegeta said. "But before that, you know the rule for training with Whis." "Oh right, we gotta offer him some food," Goku said. "Let's find something he hasn't eaten yet." "Might be difficult," Vegeta said. "Maybe we should have asked the Equestrians while we had the chance," Goku said. "Kakarot, they're horses, they probably eat hay," Vegeta commented. "...That's weird," Goku said, following after Vegeta. Later came evening time in Equestria, no other damage was found aside from the damage to Celestia's castle, which was under repair, courtesy of Tony Stark. The business man was still working on his Accords, trying to see if there was any way he could work in some accounts regarding the other worlds. "Tony?" Luna said, getting his attention. "Hey Luna, I trust you're satisfied with the repairs to your castle?" Tony asked. "Yes, quite," Luna said. "You seem rather busy." "Yeah, I'm trying to finalize these accords, it's a bit more complicated than on Earth," Tony said. "My world has more heroes in it, New York alone has like a dozen vigilantes, give or take. And the guards in this world...they're not exactly up to the task. I mean no offense but, they're kind of useless." "I can't argue that," Luna said. "Right now the only ones who live full time in this world are Peter, Logan, Johnny Storm, Iceman, Gambit, Janet, Deadpool and Ant Man," Stark explained. "Granted Nightcrawler and Jubilee have actually started to stay here more due to their commitment to Twilight's school. While Cyclops and the other X-Men are committed as well, seems like Jubilee and Nightcrawler have actively taken more of a role recently." "Yes, Twilight commented how both of them enjoy connecting with the students, Jubilee thanks to her playful nature and Nightcrawler due to his nurturing side," Luna said. "I figured I could include them as well, since they'd want to keep Equestria safe as well," Stark said. "I still need to find more heroes." "What about The Brotherhood?" Luna asked. "Will you seek them out?" "I don't even know where they went," Stark said. "I could track them, but in addition, we still have others, I mean to my knowledge, that cat burglar Felicia Hardy lives somewhere in Canterlot with that loud mouth Thunderlane, you could make use of them as well," Luna said. "Forgot about those two, little surprised they didn't show up during Goku's arrival, probably didn't want to risk getting hurt or something," Stark said. "Not very reliable if you ask me." "Not many could stand against Goku," Luna said. "Well that'll change once I create my Saiyan Buster Armor," Stark said. "Still maybe I can put them on lookout, if they're up to it." "I'll make sure of it," Luna said. "What of Twilight and her friends? Have anything for them?" "That might be tough, I mean they're strong but they're basically just overpowered civilians, aside from Twilight and Rainbow Dash," Stark said. "Speaking of Rainbow Dash, I can definitely use The Wonderbolts, so that's a plus. In fact...maybe we can strike a deal with the other countries in this world. Get the Dragons, Griffons, Hippogriffs, Yaks and Changelings involved." "You really believe they would help?" Luna asked. "Of course, I mean this is their world too, and Twilight's school has one member of each tribe," Stark said. "Think about it, endless possibilities. I'll continue to strike deals on Earth, see if I can get Clint, Nat, Banner and even T'Challa to help more." "T'Challa has his own country to worry about though," Luna said. "He can lend a few warriors, we're pals after all, and he likes Equestria, he seems very fond of Twilight, he'll want to help," Stark insisted. "I just gotta convince him why my plan is a good one." "Alright, one question though, what about Capcom and Square? How would they fit into this?" Luna asked. "I'll talk to Chun-Li and Tifa about it, shouldn't be hard, I have quite a way with ladies after all," Stark boasted. "Uh-huh..." Luna said, not caring much for Tony's playboy attitude. "Well then, I'll leave you to it, good luck Tony." "Thanks Luna," Stark said, waving bye to the Princess as she flew off. Once along, he started thinking over everything he said. "Lot of this stuff is easier said than done, but I gotta make this work. For safety of all our worlds." Later that night, Peter was in his basement lab, trying to go over a few plans. His suit was destroyed, but he could make something better, one better suited for any type of threat. "Goku...you're one strong warrior, but thankfully a good guy," Peter said. "But it also sounds like you've had your share of enemies, some might be as tough as you, maybe tougher." He looked over all his materials, including the foriegn ones like the Materia Tifa gave him years ago, the Blastia he got from Rita Mordio and some of the Kryptonian Technology that Superman lent him. "I can't leave anything to chance, I gotta keep my world safe. I'll go through hell to make sure my world doesn't turn into the Dystopia that it could have been..." Peter then remembered the failed treaty. "Or could still be..." Upstairs Twilight was seen waiting outside the lab. She wanted to go down and check on Peter, see if he wants to come to bed. Though given everything that happened today, between his fight with Goku and Discord's ominous warning, maybe it would be better to leave Peter be, give him a sense of security in his inventions. She made her way to bed, hoping that whatever impending troubles came their way, that they could handle it together. As friends, as families, as heroes.
