*Capsule Corporation Headquarters, West City; December 28, Age 770 (2019), 11:45 AM*

Alex tapped his artificial eye again, fidgeting nervously.

Since Alex knew he had to be punctual with his timing, so he asked Vinyl and the doctors at Ponyville Hospital to install his eye early in the morning. He spent the few hours after his surgery packing, saying his goodbyes to his children and friends, and left for this other version of Earth at 9:30... On the other side of the planet.

After flying his way above the clouds, where he wouldn't be spotted, Alex landed after a 2 hour flight.

The eye, one that replicated his old one almost perfectly, still felt a little out of place at times. Thankfully, Erza offered her advice on the matter.

"It felt weird for me, too. You'll get used to it after a while." She had said.

Alex, trying hard to gain his confidence, opened the door and spoke with the receptionist.

"Hi, I'm here to see Dr. Bulma Briefs and her husband. Where can I find them?" Alex asked.

"You must be Alex! Mr. Vegeta and Dr. Briefs are with you downstairs at Level 1." The receptionist answered.

"Thank you." Alex respectfully thanked her, walking down the hall to an elevator.

He pressed the button that led to 'Level 1', waited for the doors to close, and stood.

Deep in thought, Alex thought what would happen if Yang and Raven traced him here..

Meh, Vegeta'd probably just kill them.

But... Did he really want that to happen?

Alex growled.

'That bitch broke all my ribs, ripped my face open, blinded me, and left me to die! Why should I care about her?!' Alex internally demanded.

Yet... He couldn't just ignore the possibility that Raven had something to do with her betrayal.

That gem on Yang's new Circlet matched her eye color perfectly.

'Who am I kidding? That thing on her head is just a power boost. The Prometheus Charge was a little rock that housed a crap ton of Magic power. There were definitely ways of hiding power gems on a person. Hell, even Cinder laced her clothes with Dust.'

The doors opened, revealing a sort of greenhouse-type room, where a woman in her early 20's with light blue hair stood next to...

"Hmph.. It's about time you got here." Vegeta scowled.

"Shut it, Vegeta. This young man was nice enough to pay for his training, and here you are, still acting like a jerk." Bulma chided.

"Woman, I have serious training to do, and I can't have this scrawny fool holding me back!" Vegeta retorted.

"That 'scrawny fool' you mentioned managed to fight off other-dimensional demons when you can't swat a giant, green bug." Alex smirked. Quickly realizing the error in his retort, he covered his mouth.

Vegeta cast a deathly glare at him.

"How did you know about Cell?" He demanded coldly.

"I get news even from this dimension. Once you start traveling, you start to get the gist of things." Alex replied evenly, trying to contain his fear.

Vegeta never even took his eyes off of Alex, as Alex himself could only manage to stare back.

"Well, I see you two are busy, I have work to do. Have fun, boys!" Bulma waved.

"Wait no-!" Alex held out his hand as Bulma closed the hydraulic door behind her.

Alex was stunned. He was actually going through with this.

"Come with me." Vegeta ordered.

"Huh?!" Alex gaped.

"You paid for this, you're getting it. Follow me." Vegeta repeated, leaving the room through a separate door.

Alex was quick to follow, making sure not to step too close or too far. Lord knows he didn't want to die pissing off a Super Saiyan.

Vegeta led him to a wide room with a module at the center. The room, otherwise, was relatively plain, monochromatic metal lining the walls and the module seemed to dip into the room.

"Close the door behind you." Vegeta demanded.

Alex complied immediately, hearing a hydraulic hiss as he closed the giant, metal door.

Vegeta eventually walked in front of the module, typing in a few numbers without saying a word.

Suddenly, Alex felt an enormous weight pushing him to the ground.

"Ack!! What is this place?!" Alex demanded, straining even to pick himself up.

The Saiyan Prince walked comfortably to the struggling Alex, glaring down at him.

"This is 25 times Earth's normal gravity. It's no problem for the average Saiyan warrior, but since you probably have no experience with hyper-gravity, it's going to be more difficult for you. Now fight me." Vegeta ordered.

"Fight you?!"

"You will need to learn to acclimate one way or another, and I have yet to know your true power, Mr. Demon-slayer." Vegeta cast a mocking glare at him.

Surprisingly, Alex managed to pick himself up, only able to transform to an Enlightened Warrior.

The pressure he felt on his body was lifted somewhat, but Alex still felt like he was being crushed.

"Hmm.. This form merely doubles your power. Super Saiyan will only be wasted on you. Attack me."

Alex ran at Vegeta, punching and kicking thin air as the Saiyan dodged his attacks at practically light speed.

Alex swept his leg, only to be crushed by the sheer weight of his attacks.

"Pathetic. You aren't even worth my time. Normally, I'd tell people to leave, but just for you, I'll make an exception." Vegeta explained.

"E-Exception..?" Alex groaned, straining to pick himself up.

"I will have you live and train the Hypergravity Room. For the next two months, I will leave you inside this room undisturbed. I'll have Bulma seal this place shut, so forget about escaping. For simplicity's sake, I'll only start you off at 15x gravity. Every 10 days, I'll increase the chamber's gravity until you are equal to my usual regiment of 450x. Once you've acclimated, then our real training will begin. Don't slack off on your training, or I'll actually have to come in. Let me make it clear that you don't want me to come inside until the two months have passed, got it?" Vegeta explained.

Alex was stunned. At 450 times earth's gravity, he would hardly be able to even move! How was he expected to go that far?!

Vegeta then set the gravity back to normal, giving Alex a spare moment of relaxation before he left.

"And, while you're in here, learn to watch your mouth." Vegeta scowled as he closed the door.

Alex stood in shock for a moment, barely able to speak. So much had happened in the past few moments that he had barely been able to stay on track.

How could he keep up with the likes of him?!

'No. I can't think like that. Yang beat me at her base form, and she was only training with Raven. If I'm going to stand up to both Raven and Yang, I have to set newer heights. If I don't, They'll kill me without even trying.' Alex thought.

An attendant suddenly ran into the Hypergravity Room with a small capsule. The attendant pressed a small button on top and tossed it on the ground. The capsule popped open, which unleashed Alex's basic necessities. Only a bed, some food, water, and a bunch of weights. Said attendant left as quickly as they walked inside.

"Alright. I can communicate with you through this speaker system, and I have cameras in there watching you 'round the clock. You'd better not waste the 10 days given to you to acclimate, or the next 3 months will be difficult for you. I don't care if you make it or not, just get to work!" Vegeta stated over the loudspeaker as Alex felt a pressing weight against his body.

The strong pull keeping him down wasn't nearly as bad as before, but it was going to be hard getting used to it.

"Alright... Besides, you get what you pay for, right?" Alex smirked.

"What did I say about watching your tongue, smartass?! Start off with as many push-ups as you can!" Vegeta ordered.

*Crux Family Complex, Sokarian Plains, Adenien; December 28, 2019; 2:40 PM*

Raven and Yang glared down at the corpses of the entire Crux family, grinning sinisterly.

"This has been the most entertaining battle I've experienced since this crusade began." Raven admitted.

"It's a shame we could not find those three other children. It's as if they disappeared." Yang noticed.

Raven suddenly perked up.

"Yang. I'm detecting 10 immensely powerful energies on their way here. At least 7 are from Fiore, but the other three..." Raven narrowed her eyes.

"It's Cade, Auburn, and Oreonna... I'll meet you at the next objective. They're mine." Yang grinned.

Raven smiled.

"Very well, then. Enjoy yourself." Raven smiled as she flew off.

Cade and Auburn flew down, followed by Oreonna, Natsu, Gray, Wendy, Lucy, Happy, Juvia, and Erza.

Yang glared at all of them with clear intent of killing them.

"You shouldn't have followed us here, children." Yang scolded.

Cade and Auburn both transformed, glaring at their mother.

"Why?! Dad sacrificed life and limb for all of us! For you!" Cade demanded.

"You don't understand. Raven holds the key to the Universe's Survival. There's a bigger threat at hand than either of us combined, and only the strongest will have the right to survive. And looking at all of you... It's better if I just killed you right here, just like I killed that ADENIENITE TRASH-!" Yang shouted.

Auburn hit her mother in the clavicle as hard as she could with the blades of her Axe, the blast sent shockwaves that knocked out the building around them.

When Cade saw that his sister's attack barely even scratched Yang, he leaped into the fray.

Repeatedly kicking and punching, Cade uppercut his mother to the skies, teleported behind her, and kicked her back down.

Before Yang could hit the ground, Natsu charged at Yang, punching her away as Gray readied his own magic attacks.

"ICE-MAKE LANCE!!" Gray shouted, bombarding Yang with Ice-blades as Erza leaped high above her.

"DANCE, MY BLADES!!"

Yang's eyes widened as Juvia held Yang in place, leaving her open to Erza's attacks.

"CIRCLE SWORD!!"

Yang smirked as the blades collided with her body, collapsing to the ground and pretending to lose.

"FIRE DRAGON ROAR!!"

"WIND DRAGON ROAR!!"

Both Dragonslayers' attacks collided with Yang and sent her flying away from them.

Thinking fast, Oreonna leaped high above Yang, slamming the Viola into Yang and blowing her into the ground, leaving a crater with Yang at the Center.

Cade pointed his index finger at his mother as his thumb pointed skywards.

"LIGHTNING CANNON!"

Cade launched an arc of lightning from his finger, connecting with Yang's chest and blowing up a better part of the area.

"Open, gate of the Water Bearer, Aquarius!" Lucy shouted.

Yang suddenly appeared scared, she raised her fist, only for Auburn to slam her into the ground again, trying to keep her from Lucy.

Aquarius appeared, glaring at Lucy.

"I was in the middle of something." Aquarius scowled.

"Lucy, I won't be able to keep Mom down for long!" Auburn urged.

Yang punched Auburn, blowing her far past the destroyed complex and leaped to deal with her.

"NOT SO FAST!!" Cade grabbed Yang's leg and threw her back down.

"Yang's way too strong. If she gets a moment to recover-" Lucy explained.

Aquarius dumped a massive amount of water at Yang and Cade.

Yang readied a shot to try and divert the water, but Cade grappled her into a full Nelson.

"Let.. Go of me!!" Yang demanded.

"If I'm getting drenched, you are too!" Cade retorted, bracing himself for a literal tsunami.

The wave crashed into the two of them as the impact blew water at the rest of the group.

"There. Now, don't interrupt me again, or I'm aiming my next wave at your head." Aquarius warned.

"S-Sorry!" Lucy stammered as Aquarius receded into the key.

"Is... Is it over?" Oreonna asked.

Yang staggered up, completely drenched, and grabbed Cade by the neck.

"Interesting. You may prove more worthy to survive than I thought. Let's test you out some more." Yang grinned, tossing Cade aside and transforming to her Inflamed Demigoddess.

"This is crazy..! Yang has a new form?!" Wendy gasped.

"This form is a highly advanced version of her Inflamed Warrior form. No wonder she was able to kill Father." Auburn stated.

"Hey, what gives, didn't Alex survive?" Nastu whispered.

"Yes, but it's ultimately better if she isn't aware." Erza scolded.

"Prepare yourselves, Fairy Tail. For your real test has begun."

Author's Notes:

Hey, Everyone!

So, if you look back at Chapter 25, you'll find some important announcements I made.

If you guys don't have time to read through craptons of text, I'll make a long story short and say I have to change nearly an entire story arc because I got Auburn's birthday wrong.

Also, there's another thing I wanted to mention. I thought about putting this in with the big edit announcements, but nobody's going to go back about 35 chapters just to read through announcements of a side project.

Anyways, here's the deal.

This story is pretty much just as, if not a bit more, convoluted than Dragon Ball Z (Especially since DBZ itself is included in the story now).

Why not go all-out and make short, ambiguously canon movies about it?

By this, I mean I'm going to be writing short stories that take place at certain points in the Blood Red Shadows series.

I plan on calling these bunch of side-stories 'Blood Red Shadows: Scarlet Entries'.

The 'Scarlet Entries' are really just short, 15-18 chapter long stories that fall within a set time in the BRS Universe.

I already have one in the making, and a second one under heavy, heavy consideration and planning.

The first Scarlet Entry is going to be 'Undertales of the Vanished', which is the story of how Twilight Sparkle, Fluttershy, Wildcat, Mini Ladd, and the other members of Vanoss' crew find their way back home after seemingly being destroyed during the Shadow Wars.

The second is basically a crossover of a crossover (Crossover-Ception ) that combines elements of 'Blood Red Shadows' and SuperKamek's story, 'Legend of the Grimmwalker'.

The story takes place in Future Cade, Future Oreonna, and Future Auburn's timeline where Cinder took all the Maiden's powers, three years before they're introduced in 'The Crimson Shade'.

A power struggle between All-Maiden Cinder and Salem resulted in Future Alex and Future Yang being hired by an unknown entity for one last mission: to hunt down the Grimmwalker and kill her before Cinder has a chance to absorb her powers to form her own personal army of Grimm.

I'm actually wondering whether or not I should even do this second story, mostly because A: I didn't get permission to do this yet, and B: I should probably finish up this Arc of BRS 2 anyways before I do anything crazy, and C: This is FIMFICTION, an MLP Fanfiction site, and, let's be honest here, Blood Red Shadows is becoming less and less MLP related as time goes on, and I'm too lazy to start a Fanfiction account and repost all of my work to that account.

Well, I've rambled on long enough, and I have other priorities anyways.

Take care!
