*100 miles outside of West City; January 15, Age 771 (2020), 2:15 PM*

Vegeta had entered the Gravity Room earlier that day and insisted Alex come with him.

The two had been flying in the same general direction for the past few minutes or so until Vegeta landed on the ground.

The arid, rocky wasteland, combined with the heat of the desert area gave Alex some relief from the wind that had chilled him as he flied.

"Alright. Now, we wait for the Namek. Don't get comfy." Vegeta demanded.

Alex silently nodded, unsheathing his sword.

Ever since he stepped out of the chamber, Alex felt like he was more relaxed than he had ever been. Being cooped up in a Gravity Chamber for entire weeks at a time provided him with instant relief.

"So, where did you say you were from?" Vegeta asked.

"It's a long story." Alex replied.

"Just tell me, Adenienite." Vegeta scowled.

"Okay.. My parents raised me on another version of Earth, and I started traveling dimensions around 4 years ago. Since my Earth wasn't so hospitable, I really don't have a home." Alex shrugged.

"I'm assuming you've heard about the fate of Planet Vegeta. You knew about Cell when we first met." Vegeta deduced.

"Yeah."

"I'm curious as to how you know that. This planet's populace is ignorant to the fact that there are other races." Vegeta stated.

"See, here's the thing.." Alex began to explain when suddenly, he felt an extremely high energy heading towards them.

"Hmph.. The Namekian." Vegeta scowled.

Alex was surprised to see a figure descend from the skies near them. The figure had green skin, two antennae on his forehead, and a icy glare similar to Vegeta's. Alex honestly hadn't expected Piccolo to be so tall, as Alex himself was only roughly 6'1" while Piccolo was at least a foot taller than him.

"Piccolo." Vegeta greeted coldly.

"Vegeta. I'm assuming the kid is your apprentice." Piccolo assumed.

"Heh. You aren't wrong. He's been staying in the Gravity Room constantly for the past month. As a Super Saiyan, I'm too much of a challenge for him right now, but I trust you will show him just how much he needs to grow." Vegeta told him.

"Fine.." Piccolo grumbled, turning to Alex.

Alex took a step back, but otherwise held Piccolo's glare.

"Hmm.. If not for that odd power, I'd almost have confused him with Tien." Piccolo stated.

Alex 'cracked' his metallic knuckles, grinning.

"I've been kinda eager to show this off. It's been a while since I've used this.." Alex smirked, transforming straight to his Enlightened Berserker form.

Both Piccolo and Vegeta looked mildly shocked.

"I wasn't aware he had more than one Enlightened Form." Vegeta stated.

"Impressed?" Alex grinned.

Piccolo regained his composure, and teleported in front of Alex.

"You've increased your power, but not dramatically. Shall we?"

Alex leaped, striking Piccolo in the side with his sword to little effect.

Piccolo kicked him out of his way, grabbed his leg, and threw him into a plateau.

Bouncing off the side, Alex charged some of his energy into the sword, and swung the blade in a wide arc, causing a paper-thin burst of lightning to lash across the ground.

Piccolo dodged again, kicking Alex hard in the stomach and forced him to try and move away.

Alex landed on the ground, flash-stepping behind Piccolo and punching him in the back.

Piccolo was barely affected, grabbing Alex's midsection with his legs and throwing him into the skies, only to teleport and slam him back to the ground.

Alex, thinking fast, charged directly at Piccolo, thinking that the Namekian would attack from the same angle.

As soon as He teleported behind Piccolo, Alex felt a sharp pain in his chest, as Piccolo punched Alex in the chest.

The punch was enough to launch Alex into the side of another mountain.

"OVERCHARGE TIMES THREE!!!" Alex roared, bashing Piccolo in the chest as he launched at the Namekian.

Piccolo kicked Alex in the back with enough force to blow him into another mountain.

Kicking up as much dust as he could, Alex charged his attack.

Two balls of red lightning sparked in his fingertips, accented by flashes of yellow.

Piccolo, of course, knew what was going on immediately and raised his hand to the attack, charging his own ball of energy.

As soon as the dust parted to reveal Alex, he had immediately flew to a better angle, and launched his attack.

"GOD SHOCKER!!!"

Piccolo blocked Alex's attack with his own beam, only to find Alex speeding towards him, and slamming his fist into his side.

By then, Alex's overcharge gave in, leaving him unable to stand against Piccolo.

"Oh, no.." Alex sighed, knowing what happened next was gonna hurt.

Piccolo grabbed Alex's arms, and kicked his chest with both of his feet.

Before Alex could react, Piccolo assaulted him with vicious attacks. Kicking, punching, and grabbing Alex by the throat as his last move.

"Finished yet?" Piccolo demanded.

"Shock Breaker." Alex smirked, raising a hand to Piccolo's chest.

The attack leveled out a large portion of the mountainous landscape, but only left a scratch on Piccolo.

Having a final opportunity, Alex headbutted Piccolo away, and charged another attack.

Piccolo grinned, placing two fingers on his forehead and charging his signature attack.

"SPECIAL BEAM CANNON!" Piccolo roared, launching the drill-like attack at Alex.

"THUNDER FLASH!" Alex launched the two lightning bolts in his hand, and blocked the Special Beam Cannon in his hands, moving it a few inches past him and letting it fly with a great deal of effort.

"Well... L-Let's call that a draw-!"

Piccolo elbowed Alex in the back, causing him to collapse onto the ground.

Powering down, Alex looked up at Piccolo, battered by his next defeat.

"You're not bad, but I've seen a lot better out there. You'd be able to take on any of the Earthlings just fine, but everything else is off the table. You still have a lot of training to do." Piccolo stated.

Alex let out a pained groan before pulling himself back up.

"N-Not bad... We should try this again.." Alex coughed.

Suddenly, Alex felt a sharp pain in his back, and was knocked to the ground with little effort from Vegeta.

"It's for his training, Namekian. If you can train Kakarot's brat to his level, I shall do the same with him." Vegeta explained.

Piccolo shook his head, promptly flying off.

Vegeta grabbed Alex by the back of his neck, pulling him to eye level (which honestly wasn't much).

"Pitiful. I have no idea the kind of lounging around you Adenienites do for training, but I expect much better from you!" Vegeta shouted, punching him in the face.

Alex was kicked to the ground again, left nearly defenseless as he used up all his energy fighting Piccolo.

"Tell me, 'Alexander', what drove you to train with me?!"

Alex could barely speak.

"E-Ex-Wife... W-Wiped the f-floor with m-me... N-Nearly died.." Alex answered, coughing up blood as he spoke.

Vegeta grinned, kicking Alex into a mountainside.

"So... How strong was this... 'Ex-Wife of yours?" Vegeta demanded.

"S-Strong enough... Even in my l-last form... She beat me without having to transform..." Alex choked out.

Vegeta growled, he knew the feeling of being surpassed and humiliated before.

"How much time do you have?" Vegeta asked.

"T-Time?" Alex gasped.

"Surely, she knows if you're still alive."

"S-She nearly killed me.. She would have done it, had my kids and their friends not showed up.." Alex replied.

"I have an idea, Adenienite." Vegeta announced, grabbing him by the neck.

"W-What?"

*15 minutes later, Capsule Corporation*

Vegeta walked inside, dropping Alex onto the ground.

"Vegeta! What happened to him?!" Bulma demanded.

"I'll get to that later. We'll be going out for two days." Vegeta told her.

"What are you going to be doing for two days?" Bulma asked suspiciously, knowing full well what Vegeta was thinking about.

"Training." Vegeta answered.

"As long as it's only two days. And I'll need you to take care of Trunks when you get back." Burma smirked.

"Grr.. Fine." Vegeta grumbled, walking out with Alex still in tow.

*Ponyville, Equestria; January 15, 2020, 3:00 PM*

Cade, Oreonna, Auburn, and the rest of Fairy Tail had gathered in the conference room alongside Sunset Shimmer and Starlight Glimmer.

"So, when's this 'Ambassador' coming?" Cade asked.

"They should be here in just a little while." Starlight replied.

Suddenly, the door opened, revealing a familiar small, purple and green dragon.

"Spike?" Oreonna asked.

"Oh, hi..!" Spike waved.

"Gosh... It's weird not seeing you as a dog.. How have things been in Canterlot?" Sunset asked.

"Not good. Ever since Celestia, Luna, and Cadence all.. Y'know... Prince Blueblood basically set up his own government." Spike answered.

"Oh, that asshole?" Cade facepalmed.

"Who?" Natsu asked, confused.

"Another Royal, probably." Gray guessed.

"What's bad about him?" Wendy asked.

"He's extremely petty." Sunset answered.

"And a total narcissist." Starlight added.

"Okay... Definitely know where you're coming from there." Lucy nodded, recalling Everlue.

"So... Is she coming?" Sunset asked.

"Who's she talking about now?" Erza wondered.

"She's talking about me."

A dragon in regal armor slammed the door open, glaring menacingly at the humans as she removed her helmet, revealing blue scales and two horns that circled out under her head.

"Dragon Lord Ember..!" Spike greeted.

"THAT'S WHAT THIS WORLD'S DRAGONS LOOK LIKE?! BAHAHAHAHA!!" Natsu broke out laughing.

"Oh, yeah? You think you're so funny, don't you, you whelp?!" Ember shot back.

Erza quickly punched Natsu in the head, knocking him out cold.

"Sorry about him, he's... Y'know.." Cade apologized.

"Oh, so you're apologizing. Might as well apologize for the human that killed a dragon in Equestrian Territory four years ago!" Ember shouted.

Author's Notes:

Sorry I was late getting this chapter out, I'm still working on the storyline for Undertales of the Vanished, and I have a lot of school stuff I have to worry about still.

By the way, the reason Alex didn't explode the second he used Overcharge times three along with Enlightened Berserker is due almost entirely to Alex's gravity chamber training.

The two forms combined essentially stress out and pressurize the blood vessels and heart to the point where arteries literally burst, like the last time Alex tried to combine Berserker and Overcharge. Hyper gravity essentially does the same thing, but over an extended period of time.

So, by the time of this chapter, his body's used to working under pressure, so Alex is already making improvements.

Question is, what does that mean for Yang?

Also, it's been a while since I've referenced MLP, and I think Dragon Lord Ember's introduction is just what the story needs.
