Alright people I'm back for good this time. I have had a pretty eventful week and I'm ready to get back to my story. Thanks for all the story ideas, that you have sent me. I will be collecting all of the ideas and will choose which ones to work on after I have finished this story. On a side note...TOONAMI'S BACK! Now on with the story. (Oh yeah please excuse me if this chapter isn't all that great)

---

Terror and anger filled Gohan as the evil shadows descended upon him. The sources of all of his misery were right in front of him laughing, and taunting him.

High above them Discord took time to gloat at Gohan's misfortune "Well little Gohan how does it feel to be all alone in the world...wait you already know what it feels like after all you did cause you're father's death!."

Gohan tried to push out Discord's words out of his head as he went into a fighting position and launched himself at the shadow clones. Taking a flying swing at the closest Cell clone to him it exploded in a small cloud of black mist.

Unfortunately just as quickly as the first clone fell three more sprouted in it's place.

" Tisk..tisk..tisk Gohan! Did you really think that it would be that easy? I have the power of chaos on my side...speaking of which." said Discord and with a snap of his finger's the three new clones all fired a wave of ki straight for Gohan.

Quickly jumping into the air he was able to dodge all three of the blast's and flew at Discord with great speed. Pulling his arm back Gohan threw a jab at the chaos spirit barely missing his face.

"Now Gohan you shouldn't hit your elders...they might just hit back!" mocked Discord before snapping his fingers again. Suddenly the ki blasts altered their course and flew directly into Gohan's back exploding on contact.

Gohan's body was sent speeding through the school's roof landing in the small classroom where Big Mac, Cheerilee, and the Cutie mark crusaders were hiding.

"Gohan!" they all yelled pulling off chunks of rock from on top of him. After a few seconds Gohan slowly pulled himself to his feet.

"Thanks everyone now go find somewhere to lay low, it's not safe here anymore." The half-saiyan said while brushing himself off.

"But Gohan you can't stay here by yourself, those things will squash you like a bug!" Big Mac said with a shocked look on his face "Besides how would we get past those things without being attacked?".

"Don't worry about me, I have been fighting things like that for years now." Gohan said taking time to crack his knuckles and neck "I draw their attention onto me and while they are busy with me you can take off in the other direction!".

Big Mac didn't like the idea but he was in no position to argue as he had to take of his little sister and her friends...not to mention his secret crush Cheerilee.

"Mr. Gohan?" asked Applebloom slowly walking towards him "You're not gonna let anything happen to us are you?

Gohan did his best to hold back a frown. He himself didn't know if he could hold all of the clones back in time for them to escape. "I will do my very best to give you all time to get as far from here as possible." he finished and softly patted Applebloom's head.

Suddenly they all heard a loud crash coming from outside the room. "Oh no they are coming for us!" yelled Cheerilee pushing the three fillies behind her.

"Quick, everyone climb out of the window and find Princess Celestia!" Gohan ordered as he got into a fighting position.

The sound of heavy footsteps rang through the hallway of the school getting even closer to their position. Turning his head Gohan watched as Big Macintosh and the others help each other out of the window.

Gohan was glad, even if he was taken down by Discord and the clones at least he went down helping people in need.

"He has to be in one of these rooms, search all of them until you find him!" Yelled Discord's voice clearly getting irritated.

Gohan smirked knowing that he was making Discord angry. Summoning all of his courage he flung the door open and fired a long string of ki blasts at the many figures in the hallway. The sound of exploding bodies and a very angry chaos spirit filled the hallway as Gohan broke through the ceiling and into the sky.

Scanning the area he made sure there were no more ponies hidden in the area around him. Sensing that it was safe he stared at the smoking hole in the roof that he made just waiting for his attackers to pursue him.

Surprisingly only Discord himself flew out of the building and up to his level in the sky.

"What's wrong Discord? Couldn't beat with the knockoff Cell and Vegeta's?" Taunted Gohan with a sense of confidence.

He was waiting for Discord to become angry again, but to his surprise the chaos spirit smiled and then started laughing.

"Oh on the Contrary my poor misguided monkey boy. I just sent them on a little side mission to pass the time." Discord laughed out and then threw a ball of chaos energy at Gohan.

Quickly moving out of the way of the blast Gohan angrily yelled at Discord "Where did you send them!".

"Oh no where important...just in the direction of the ponies you helped escape." Discord chuckled out watching as Gohan's eyes widened.

"YOU...YOU BASTARD!" Gohan screamed Gohan before speeding off to stop the clones.

Discord continued laughing as Gohan got smaller and smaller in the Distance. "I think it's time I checked on Twilight and her friends." he finished and disappeared in a poof of purple smoke.

(With Twilight Sparkle)

Twilight had been running through the castle maze for what seemed like hours. Thanks to Discord's trickery all of her friends were each separate by the thick walls of the maze.

"Alright I have to be on my guard, that sneaky draconequus could be anywhere." she spoke to herself as she continued on her way.

There were many thoughts swimming through her head as she walked. Many of them were of Gohan and his strange appearance, she had never seen or read about a creature like him. Another question was why didn't Gohan tell them that he wasn't one of them.

After the thought entered her head she remembered what Fluttershy had told them "Maybe whatever happened to him caused him to be afraid of loosing what he had. Maybe he wanted so badly just to fit in with us that his past no longer seemed to matter and he just wanted to get on with his new life with his new friends."

"Hmm...I have never known anyone to be afraid of where they come from. Maybe after all of this is done I can ask Gohan myself and clear up everything there is to know." Twilight said and increased the speed of her hooves.

(With Fluttershy)

Fluttershy was frightened as she found herself alone in the maze. She had no idea how she was going to get out without the help of her wings.

"Applejack told me that whenever I'm lost and need to keep myself from being afraid I should think of warm happy thoughts." She said to herself and closed her eyes so she could think.

Suddenly her mind was filled with images of all of her animals, her nice comfortable home, and her very best friends. But then another thought popped into her head.

The image of a beautiful park with flowers as far as the eyes could see appeared. She was sitting on a picnic blanket with Gohan in his human form. In her mind Gohan was feeding her strawberries while she rested on his chest.

Opening her eyes Fluttershy smiled happily and trotted through the maze lost in her thoughts.

(With AppleJack)

"I can't believe we fell for such an obvious trap!" yelled AppleJack with a shake of her head. She galloped as fast as she could through the many trails.

She couldn't believe her day had taken this turn. She remembered waking up, and going out to perform the day's chore's before a chocolate rain cloud started raining on her. Then Discord started playing mind games with them and hiding the Element of Harmony. Not to mention seeing Gohan's true form.

Speaking of Gohan what in the hay was he. He had no fur to speak of except for the tail sticking out from his behind. He wore strange clothes that were tattered, and showed off all of his large muscles.

She blushed at that thought and shook her head again. She had always considered herself as a independent pony, trying her best not to be impressed by colts and their looks. But Gohan wasn't a colt now was he?

"Maybe I could try some of this mushy girl stuff with Gohan after this is all done." Applejack said to herself and focused on getting through the maze as fast as she could.

(With Rarity)

"Why do mazes have to be dirty and icky?" groaned Rarity as she walked carefully forward "I'm going to need some personal spa days to clean my coat from all of this dirt.".

After a few paces Rarity stopped moving to rest on a rock which she first took the time to sweep off with her hoof. "Now while I'm resting I can think of a idea for Gohan's new wardrobe."

She had not stopped thinking about him since they had left their separate ways. At the moment she wasn't sure why Gohan didn't tell them about the real him, but what she did know that one of her friends would not be allowed such a cut up, torn, and overall tacky outfit.

She tried using a stick to scratch some ideas into the dirt but found it increasingly difficult.

"Oh why did that ruffian have to take away my horn? I won't be able to get anything done without it." She moaned again before jumping off the rock and trotting off down the path.

(With Pinkie Pie)

Pinkie Pie was hopping her way down her part of the maze while thinking excited thoughts.

"Wow I wonder if Gohan is some kind of mutated pony who was apart of a mad scientist's crazy experiment!" she thought picturing Gohan as Frankenstein's monster.

She started laughing as the funny images started pouring through her mind.

Then she thought about how sad Gohan's face looked when they all saw what he really was. It reminded her of her life on the rock farm and how unhappy everyone there was. Then after seeing Rainbow Dash's sonic rainboom it made her so happy and giggly that she threw her family their first and biggest party.

She remembered how happy and joyful it made them all, and from that day forward she vowed that as long as she was around no one would be allowed to be sad.

"I know what I will do! I'll throw Gohan the biggest party that anyone has ever seen. It'll have balloons, cake, presents, games, dancing, music, lots of food..." the pink pony continued her list as she galloped through the maze.

(With RainbowDash)

"I can't believe that jerk took my wings away. How can I be Rainbow Dash without the part of me that makes me dash?" the rainbow pony said before putting on a sharp look "Wait a minute, I'm still the fastest pony in Equestria even without my wings."

She took off at a high speed as if she was trying to prove to herself that her words were true.

While she was running she started thinking about Gohan. Like the others she had never seen a creature such as Gohan. That made her very interested in him.

She could also tell from his body type that he was very athletic so he probrably exercised a lot.

"Well Gohan whatever you are, you've caught the eye of the fast pony in Equestria and she always get what she wants!" Rainbow Dash spoke to herself as if she was challenging someone to tell her otherwise.

(Back to Gohan)

Gohan couldn't believe he let himself be so careless. Thanks to him Applejack's brother and the others he was with were in danger.

He flew over Ponyville checking the area for the clones but the town seemed as if it was dead. He assumed that everyone was being as quiet as possible as to not attract attention to themselves.

" HELP!" screamed a voice down in the streets. Quickly flying down he spotted Applebloom standing over what appeared to be a injured Big Macintosh and Cheerilee.

Touching down on the ground Gohan rushed towards them and ask her what had happened.

"Those monsters followed us and threw some kind of weird balls of light at them." Applebloom spoke as her eyes teared up.

"Applebloom where is Sweetie Bell, and Scootaloo?" Gohan asked her in a soft voice knowing she was about to start crying.

Just before she could answer the sound of a ki blast rang out through the air straight for them. Thinking fast Gohan grabbed Applebloom and flung the both of them out of harm's way before hearing evil laugh.

"Why Gohan if you wanted to know where they were then you should have asked us." A single cell cloned laughed before pulling the two knocked out fillies from behind his back.

"Cell let them go NOW!" Yelled Gohan getting into a fighting position.

"Calm down monkey boy, Me and other clones decided to hold a little contest for you. If you win you get them back, but if you lose then we splatter them all over the walls of this town!" declared the clone.

Gohan growled as he thought about what the contest could be, unfortunately he was in position to say no.

"Fine where is this contest to take place?" he asked still holding his position waiting for any sign of a sneak attack.

"The middle of Ponyville is where the contest takes place. You have only four hours to decide if you want to participate. After that time is up I cannot guarantee their safety or even the lives of everyone in this town for that matter." Cell laughed before disappearing into a cloud of darkness taking the girls with him.

Applebloom started crying as she watched her two best friends disappear. "Please Mr. Gohan you have to help them."

Once again Gohan was reminded of his own helplessness as he looked down at the small pony. He would not allow them to pay the price for his failure.

"Applebloom you have my word that I will rescue them from those monster's." he said and leaned down to give her a reassuring pat on the top of her head "First things first we have to get Macintosh and Cheerilee to a hospital."

Applebloom smiled and nodded knowing that Gohan would be true to his word. She wondered though how they would be able to move them seeing as Big Macintosh was as heavy as a boulder and Cheerilee would just add on weight to them.

She was surprised though as Gohan bent down and lifted Big Mac onto one of his shoulder's and soon did the very same to Cheerilee. She was so awestruck that she didn't notice Gohan start to leave.

"Applebloom I need you to show me where the hospital is." Said Gohan turning his head to face her.

Snapping out of her stupor Applebloom nodded and ran in front of him to lead the way.

That puts an end to this chapter. Sorry for the Delay. I was originally going to make one gigantic chapter that had Discord being Defeated but I think you have all waited long enough for a chapter to come out. Don't worry though the next chapter will have all the action you have been looking for also you will enjoy the surprise twist that I will throw in at the end of it. Also I have exciting news that you all might want to hear...I have enlisted into the army and will be going to basic training after my last school year which ends in may next year. Now just because I have enlisted does not mean that I will not be going to write my story anymore. It just means that I will be limiting the updates to Saturday's and Sunday's starting next year. But until then expect lot's of updates and who knows I may get finished with this story before I even leave.
